Episode 262: Trying to Practice Patience

in two and three and four weeks since. I feel like we have done a accurate, accurate because it is that time where we're winding down our off season, so we are getting in all the things we need to get in. I've had to change the podcast time nineteen different, which is why we're never going to get one hundred million dollars on. If anyone's looking to plus the Kelsey deal or the We're here Alex Cooper deal, We're here, we're waiting. We're willing take it to the streets. Everybody

that's a calm down fast No, I'm kidding. Congratulations to anyone who makes that kind of money doing a podcast. I mean, my god, ladies and gentlemen, but we will calm down too. Bad that Kelsey's are such bad guys. It's like you can't it's like what we said one time when we went to Stray's, you know, and like how gorgeous his house is, and like you can't see anything like good for you, like Stray like works is out exactly when people like the same. Yeah, and the

Kelsey's like it's it's a fucking funny show. Like good for them. They do it where you know, wherever they are. But I, you know what, I think we're fucking funny, and I think good for us too, I said Travis the text, I said, remember that time that right before they were going to start their podcast, and do I have fireworks going off in the suture doo? That's weird? Yeah, what was that? I think it's just like weird. I don't know. Anyways, you texted, Travis, Wait what was that?

Because I clapped, it's like I think, because I yelled, yeah, wait, that's the weirdest thing I've ever seen in my life. All of a sudden, I look, which I'm already having to do this podcast because of course, you know, on my computer on my phone, and I'm seeing fireworks go off in the background. What's happening. Oh, it's only on the iPhone, Ryan said, My god, No, I just said, I just exim it before we got on our podcast, and I said, remember the time you said to me, Hey,

I need some tips. Jason and I are going to start a podcast. I think you're you don't need any tips. You're doing just fine, my friend. I need you so many tips for you. I need to get my tips done.

How about Joe Burrow in our preseason game for Amazon, just Andrew and I went and did it because you don't bring the full crew as you know, whatever, like we did when we were in San Francisco and Joe was on headsets with Al and Kirk and they were talking about his hair and he said, yeah, I'm just gonna let it grow out and then I'll have some frosted tips. I was like, good for you, Joe, Joe

looks great, great, you do you exactly? And how about him the first year that he's had a full camp and been healthy because came into the league had COVID, then he had me, then he had appendix removed, then he had calf. Like, I'm excited to see what he does at full strength. That whole division is wow. The fact that Cincinnati was the last in that division last year and they were still over five hundred. Everyone in that division was over five hundred, and Cincinnati was last.

That's how good they are between the braves. It's a bumber for us because we don't ever get guys. It's really really hard for us. I know I can give you, I can tell you who everybody's relatives are on the Dallas Cowboys and the San Francisco forty nine ers, but it's just a shame we never get to see your guys. So I've only met Joe Burrow once in my life. Those of you that are not familiar with the way

that the schedule plays out. So CBS gets the Lion's share of the AFC games and Fox gets the Lion's share of the NFC games. Go Lions. That's another division. I'm very excited to see how it shakes. And Caleb Williams, I'm buy. I used to be able to sit down with him, but then scheduling wise, it didn't work out. So I'm looking forward to seeing how his interview goes with Christina Pink. You're okay, So let's reset real quick.

We're already obviously thinking football because it is, oh, this is we don't have one hundred million dollars, yell, Jason and Travis stay on schedule less than Yeah, right, those two do not stay on schedule. They could care less. Let's see two less than two weeks away from the start of I saw, my god, college football is already happening in Ireland. So saying back, you and I were in San Francisco together doing a pre season for Fox there,

which was so great. We haven't even got a chance to talk about that on this podcast because we had Kevin for the last two weeks with our interview with him, which again, thanks keV. Was so good for coming on and doing that, because Lord knows you have enough going on between to start a football and baseball. But yeah, so we were in San Francisco, which has never happened that you and I got to work again at the

same time. Now, I know it was a little bit different because just it was a preseason game, but it was so fun and we were saying at dinner the night before, imagine if we got to go on the road every week together, it would be a blessing and a curse. Because you and I got to go to a plate class the day of the game because we didn't have to be at the field till whatever five o'clock. And it was just fun to be able to do that with you, because I never I won't be able

to do that again for the rest of the season. No, And then I was in and out of the locker room, the green room to see you guys and Pete. It around you and Julian and Julian is such a time. Love being around that kid. So yeah, we had a great time. Wait, we have a rundown we have to talk about here. This is what's coming up on the big show. We're going to talk about Jared on Pinterest, which is all frightening. I'm going to give a Macaroni stole update. We are getting ready for the NFL season.

Being back on the road. You just talked a little bit about San Francisco. I want to hear about Cincinnati because the reason why I couldn't hear about Cincinnati is I was in Italy for three short days. You travel same, I've been on a wedding tour. Congratulations to the Richardson's Brad and Jessica, and congratulations to the Purcells Teddy and

Alex and baby Theo. Yeah, my husband is his both his old roommates Brad and Teddy got married, not to each other, although they love each other enough too, but to their respected wives. Sure do so much so that Jared's like, We're going to go to Italy for three days. Lake Como was amazing. I'm so jealousy. This is a place I've always wanted to go. Okay, start from the beginning, George Jamal, I mean, what's happening? Why does everyone love it so much? What is it about it? It's gorgeous,

it's so peaceful, it's beautiful. Our hotel, I'll say it, the Mandarin it was unbelievable. They hooked us up with this gorgeous balcony. The first morning that we were there, Jared slept in obviously because he was dealing with what is it not? Time change the whole thing? Ye, and I was like, f this, we have the most insane freaking view. I grabbed the yoga mat, I did a little whatever, I played Spotify lake Como Music freaking ordered. Room service was dead the rest of the day. But

it is gorgeous. The one thing the the con of the wedding was this, we did not have time to get off property and eat. We literally got there ate at the hotel the night before. It was beautiful, but I would have loved a local flavored dinner flavor, iye. But we had such a good time and it is it's just beautiful. We took a boat ride and we went to where Teddy and Alex were staying for a

drink and that was gorgeous. But just seeing all the homes and the landscaping and the architecture, Richard Branson's house is the most gorgeous house I've ever seen out on Lake Como. It was just so lovely and fun and I missed you guys a lot, and We've got to go do it because it is a It is fucking gorgeous. It is gorgeous. A lot of rules in Lake Como, though, a lot of rules. Oh interest, yep, Okay, where do you fly into? Is that? I feel like? Is that

hard to get to? Yes, it's hard. It's almost like doing a college football game, but not really. It's two flights in a drive. We did La to London, London to Milan, and then you drive like forty five minutes to an hour to Lake Como. Amazing. My only issue was this, and this is my issue when I travel. We were surrounded by the rudest people in our area of where it was probably a nine hour flight to London. Okay, the flight attendants were so sweet. We felt so bad

for them. I kept Hannah on British Airways adorable. She was like, oh my gosh, let me because we just were around loud and rude people that wouldn't sit down. They had four people in a pod. They wouldn't like get out of the way for the flight attendants to go through. I felt so bad for the guy who was cleaning baby's vomit and trying to get past grandma and grandpa that were chilling out in the pod. Just sit down and listen to the flight attendants. I always

bitch about that, but just sit down? Why why Maybe it's us just because we are so pro flight attends, which obviously is not hard to be. But why is it so difficult for people to just act like I don't want to say normal, but just like law abiding, like just follow the rules, Like why you are the rogue every time? Like ah, I don't know, I just I feel like it's you and I beat that drum of like sit down, listen, keep your feet off the chairs. In front of you, like, oh my god, there was

something I sent you guys. I sent you guys when I landed in Milan to tell you guys. Okay, why are you saying it like that? Because I just felt like so silly, being like, oh, we land in Milan. So we we fly LA to London, London to Milan. It's a quick flight. Jarrett is in the aisle, this other woman is across the aisle and she. He is looking at some stuff on his phone and this woman says to him, are you renovating your house? Crazy? Good? Stop it? What are you doing? Insane? Yeah? Why are

you looking over there? And he's like, yeah, huh great. Then we land and we go to dinner at Lake Como and we're having this lovely dinner outside. We're so friggin hungry. We're just like and we're at this little table, gorgeous table, just the two of us, and this couple is next to us. And I get it. If you're on vacation with your significant others, sometimes you like want somebody else to talk to. But at that moment, we actually liked each other and we wanted to talk to

each other, and things were great. I'm not looking to have convos with somebody over there. This guy Jarrett says something about, like I wonder where the town of Bellaggio, how far it is from here? This guy sitting next to us turns around and goes, well, it's actually only fifteen minutes by car. We were like, what in the fuck is going on that people are in our shit right now? It was crazy. Here's what I think we

need to do. Crazy. I don't have one on my phone, And there has been plenty of times, and we talked about on this podcast where I have seen people texting and sending inappropriate pictures. So we need privacy screens, no, because like you know that one time I saw like the old we do the older people like in the in the words were like three per screen because they were so large and they were like saying wild things to each other, which I was like, good for you,

but like maybe you might want to get out. We need privacy screens on our phone and on the iPad or whatever you do it, because it is way too easy when you're in two A or thirty four A to have thirty five B peering in there. Oh you know, we got to protect so great and by the way the things that are said on text messages with anyone appropriate not appropriate, want to be kept between the two people. Let's just lock it up. I'm going to send I'm buying those off Amazon right when we get off his

iPad or iPad podcasts together. Poor Jared, he was just pinteresting, which he's been like overrunning your email with all his pinteresting. We're doing some projects right now. He's really into it, hence what the lady was looking at and my man, and I'm gonna let you talk really quick because I know this is your world with Pinterest. I'm so grateful

he's so interested. I'm so grateful. But it's like, as I'm trying to get like how he's vet stuff done and Mac at my gym and you know, my Dak Prescott interview, I'm trying to get shit all lined up, He's like, hey, babe, let me let me know when you have a minute to look at the doors that I pinterested. And then I'm like, okay, so I need to get my hair done for the Dak interview. Hey babe, good news, I finally put all the comments down on my Pinterest page. Good news. Good news for cd LAMB

good my man, He's crazy. I'm obsessed with Derek because Jarrett loves interior design like I love interior design. So we obviously we drink pictures back and forth all the time. I'm like, do you like this? Do you like this? And we're on group chats about the whole thing. But then Jarrett and I are more interested in that than you and Steve, Like Steve's always like I don't really care about it. You're like, just let me show up in the house. You know is finish whatever I haven't done.

The candle turnkey, like the candle candle in the wind. So Jared and I have that in common. So we were talking all together on speakerphone, I don't know a couple of weeks ago and Jarrett mentions the Pinterest page thing and I was like, I want to be on your Pinterest. I want to participate. So he adds me so in my inbox. Every time he had something new to it, I get an email about it. But it makes me feel so connected to what you guys are doing because I'm like, ooh, look at these I like that.

So I'll take I'll take the doors and all the other things off your hands, and you know, just focus on your interview. I'm like trying to yeah, the latest on what's going on. Who was cut at the Dallas Cowboys? Hey, babe, do you like this desk? I don't give a fuck about this desk. What we can't afford that we're not Ceedee Lamb or New Heights podcast. I'm so sorry. I could just see it. This is like I got in

trouble this morning. I'm just gonna say it. I don't care, See it was care if I talked about this stuff. So I met the ranch because I got only one more good like week of being here before I had to go back. And I haven't been here since Pilot passed away. Which I go down and Pilot's buried right by the pond, and I'm not gonna cry about it because I'm being good and I've already shed so many tears over that sweet little angel. But he's buried down there, and so I go and have my coffee with him

in the morning, and I talked from anyways. So I'm here for the week, and my dad is here because my dad, Scott Thompson, loves the project. Now Scott Thompson is really only interested in coming to visit me for longer than a day or two if he has a project, because I know my dad loves me. My dad loves me so much, but it's like project. Yeah. But after a while he's like, okay, we're all caught up. It's two days. Now, what do we do? So I go down. I need you to help me build this a question

in centive thing that I want to do. He's like, you got. He goes, how long you think it's going to take? I go ooh, a good week? He goes, I'm in so him and state poor Steve, Steve wants nothing to do with this. But of course Steve can't be the boyfriend that's inside like while the dad's working. It's like, no, he's got to be out there. And Steve keeps giving me looks like Jesus Christ, because my dad is sixty eight years old and this guy acts like he is thirty eight. He is like up at

six am, he's not done Jill six at pm. He is just like he's doing whip like he's just like doing things that even my mom's like, oh my god, you have to make sure that your dad's stam is going to have a heart attack at there, I go, well, first of all, let's not say that she goes. Well, it's one hundred degrees. And if he doesn't sit down, he doesn't take breaks anyways, So all of this is happening.

And I say this to bring up the fact that all was I saying when Jared sent to you like this desk, and I said, we got a born desk? What seedy lamb, which I'm try but you won't let me. This is me at the ranch, and things are exorbitant in costs. You know you've heard me bitch to you privately about this dep But like, everything just adds up, and of course I have no patience. I want to redo the deck, I want to redo the bathrooms, I

want to redo the kitchen whatever. So last night my dad goes to bed finally, and because it's like I don't know, eleven o'clock, and so I'm up with Steve because I feel like I haven't even seen him. He's been working all day whatever. And now i'm too glass of wine and so i'm you know, I'm just getting loosening up on Well, you know, this stuff costs so much money and and you better just enjoyed this because

guess what. It's all gonna have to go away in a year, and I'm gonna have sell this goddamn branch because I won't be able to afford it. So I'm just going on and on after poor Steve has just worked all day to help me build something, and I'm just bitching. And then I stopped myself and I was like, shut the up. This guy is going to leave you because you cannot ask him to help with everything. Then bitch about things at night, like just wake up and

say something nice in the morning. So fuck. I had every intention to be so super sweet in the morning and I was going to like make him breakfast and the whole thing. I didn't even make it out of the bed before I pissed him off because I walked up. I say good morning, buddy. I say good morning, buddy, because I've been talking to all these animals, and you don't you talk to animals like, oh hey, buddy, come here, buddy. So it just rolled off the tongue of good morning, buddy.

And he looks at me and he was like, what did you just call me? And I was like, I mean, babe. He goes, no, you called me that yesterday and I looked past it once. Now you called me that. This morning he got up and he was pissed. I haven't talked to him all day. I can't get the buddy thing out of my head because I got I can't

say like, it's not good. Yeah. At the wedding we just went to, in the vows, the person who married Teddy and Alex said, I encourage everyone to think to themselves, what can I do for my spouse every day to make their life better? And I was kind of thinking about that because candidly, it's been very stressful in our house. We've been traveling a tone. We have a nanny living with us, so we have a one year old month old kid. We both have full time jobs that take

us all over the places. My patience has virtually never been there, but now it is invisible, and I catch myself being so fast to like either jump on his ass or jump on anything and be like I'm done, I've checked out, I don't care. So I really tried to be like I love you, I appreciate you. Today he gave Mac a kiss, and I was like, mom, wants to kiss I mean, I'd really want to kiss me. Well, so today he called me and to check in and like, I've been running around since we got home. How he's

barking at a dog. He just had surgery. I'm worried about his stitches. And I'm like, I went, deny, I can't do this shit anymore. And he's like, I love you, I'll be home in thirty and I'm like, okay, Well, that didn't help make my spouse's life better. I got to work on my patience, man, especially with this season coming, because I don't sound fun to be married to right now.

Got to be we're going to help each other because I think that you and I are both in the same boat when it comes to this, that we work really hard. We have multiple okay, whatever, we get it enough. You work. Everyone's working so boring. I think though, that we need to prioritize our The fireworks are going off again on the phone. Sure, not in the relationship, but on the phone. So I think we need to prioritize

the relationship like we always prioritize work. We're like, if you know, an email comes through about work, if the boss call, we rush to do that, Like, let's try, let's try. I'm saying the operative war here, try to keep each other, hold each other responsible or accountable for what we're doing, to prioritize our relationship because we have incredible men, and I know, look, they're also really lucky

to be with us. Okay, we get that part two. Yeah, I think that you and I can both do a better job of not complaining about how busy and all the things that we have going on, because they have all the same things going on, they just don't vocalize it the way we do because you and I are just quick to like be like a lot with everything, and they came in more. And I think that we're going to end up in a retirement home, just you and I because they're going to leave us at some

point because they're over our shit. So I asked, I texted me because he wasn't because he's out there working and he hasn't normally he'll like send a text or something, and I wrote, do you want to break up? Any name response? So we might gus with our times we've been fired. I don't even have a contract. Yeah, so instead of breaking up, we're going to make them a priority. Okay, We're going to do that. I do see this. So because I you know, I'm so happy when we went

to our friend End's wedding. But we had the Stanley cover union, we had a wedding in Arizona, we had a wedding in Italy. No, it's awful. We're going to Montana. Like, it's just crazy. So I just said to my husband, I said, my god, this is just too much, like we need to take a break, and he goes, you have a babe. I go to all the things you asked me to go to, and I'd like you to go. I go, what like the fucking super Bowl, okay? Or

the NFC Championship and Steve's there. Wow? Also like that's our immediate response is like, okay, yeah, your life is so old. It's really hard to go to Jerry Jones's party at the super Bowl. So sorry, and convenience you got. I sound like a tree. No, But that's exactly the point where like something gets brought up about money and I'm like, oh, well that's why I have to have five jobs. I'm just a shut up nails on a chalkboard. But okay, so we're gonna be better about that. Now.

Let's focus on things that we are already really good at which is I'm not sure, but I am sure that macaroon is growing at an all timate. I had to text you or leave your select your voice note this morning because I don't even know if Max said his first word, and you told me his first word is bye bye. Everything is bye. It's so cute and it's the wave and we wave a lot. We do this a lot. Bye bye is a big deal right

now and hi hi amby oh bye. Today I went to my gym with him, and it is crazy to go with him when he is just running through everything. He's the guy. He's taken the toys from the kids. He's like pushing them to get up the slide himself. It's like, sorry, sorry, we're not a share. He's a strong boy. Oh he's strong. A couple of things we are dealing with and I had to google some of

them last night to figure out what to do. We are in our eyechair and we look you right in the face and we drop our food over on the side and it's like, Mackie, no, thank you, don't throw your food, and he just looks at you and he goes. So that's been interesting. I'm sucking we're trying to kind of eliminate that it's so cute. But I mean I was reading articles where kids do this when they're five

years old. Oh, we're not doing that. Yeah, no, no, no, he just like he's every time like he's been getting cold lately, and so we're like, it doesn't help that he's touching stuff and then putting his fingers in his mouth. So we're just trying to deal with that, Like isn't that like a natural thing, Like just I don't know what you kind of like, I don't know, I'm sure I'm gonna get shamed on here, but we'd just been trying to like pull the thumb out and just be

like no, no, no, hey, interject you real quick. This is your child and you can do whatever you want with your child. Like this idea that everyone gets to weigh in on everything. God knows, everyone waves and on everything anyways, like do this, don't do that. Like I, yes, I don't have a child, but if anyone tried to come at me and tell me how to parent my or you know, help me parent, I'd be like, did I ask you? Like I think it is wild that people think that they get to just like insert their

opinion on your child. No, not today, try and come for my job. Yeah, not today. Throwing toys. He's really big in his little playpan area of running and he just throws it and he like looks at you and it's like, okay, but you can't really do that. So a lot of things we're doing a lot of things. Be he's cute though. Yeah, well, first of all, he's

so freaking cute. But I just this is going to be how do you feel because last year when the office's you know, obviously you had him, but he was a baby, so he's like not doing as much whatever, Like have you thought about? Everything happens and changes so fast with them. So when like he's like, you'll come home after three days and be like he's doing this now,

he's doing this now. I know. I know. Right before we left for Italy that day I sent you the picture he laid with me in bed and mo Sashame Street together. That was so fun. It was adorable. You guys, he was like cuddled up with Aaron. And you have to remember too, like seeing you you know you've always wanted to have a baby and obviously did so much to have him. But then like for me, I get emotional,

like get a grip, Chris, But I do. I get emotional when I see you with him because it's like that's something that you've like want, worked so hard to have and now he's like a little he's like a little man and like he's your buddy where he's like sitting there like watching you know what you're watching together and like cuddled with you. It is really cute. Yeah,

it is cute. Yeah, So that's been crazy. It's gonna be hard to leave him during this season, but it'll Yeah, it's it's what it is because I was going to go out there and work, Okay, so uh yeah, to pay for the desk. That's interesting. Do you not want to ride in that equestrian center? And by the ways, people never get on a horse. I sent him a

video one time. It was some like guy on a horse and the girlfriend goes, my new ick is my boyfriend on a horse because the guy was like trying to hold on and it was like not being Kevin Costner esque at all on it. Okay, speaking of being back on the road, back on the road means I want to hear about Cincy. It means we're going to be in some hotels that Let's just say this, You and I Michaels are my two hotel like guru spirit animals. Yeah, you guys, no matter if I'm going on a personal

trip or if it's a work trip. But you guys have as respectively asked where you're staying, because you guys have high standards for the hotel game. So we were we were staying at a hotel in Cincinnati. Let's just say it was not up to Al Michaels or Aaron Andrews standard standards. It was I was. I didn't want to sleep under the covers. Okay, we're just going to say that it was an above ground situation, like just lay there and try not to touch anything, don't even

pick up the remote like whatever. And normally, like I can get past some stuff, but when you go in the bathroom and the like, you don't. Yeah, it's just gross. No oh yeah. So the second I got there and Al was already there, I knew I was going to get a text from Al being like where the hell are we lo and behold here comes the text. And right after that I hear fire trucks and I'm like what is going on? Then on our group text, someone's

stuck in the elevator. Oh my god, I hope they're okay, come to find out, and someone from our crew that got stuck on the elevator, but the freaking fire trucks are headed down the thing, and all was like, we

got to get out of here. So I was laughing, and I was thinking about you because I'm like some of these which, by the way, like normally they're pretty good on the road, but when you get a not so good one, it makes you appreciate those four seasons as Ally's to call them, when they're not a four seasons, it's a one season. So one season. There is a headline here that we'll talk about, Beau. There's a bunch of headlines that sometimes we you know, we weave in

here that Ryan pulls for us. So this one got our attention. Avoid using this one item in a hotel room time bomb waiting to go off. Experts have warned weary travel, is it weary or weary? Weary? Weary? Right, well, why are you coming to me for? I don't know. It reminds me of the line in Boulder where uh, these like women get weary or wooly or so weary, and he's like, I don't know, it's like crash. Davis

corrects him. Anyways, that was a good story. Weary travelers not to use hotel hairdryers, claiming they are breeding grounds for bacteria and fungi dust molding to breed your troublemakers for your scalp that can cause dandruff, hair loss and unwanted texture. Here's the thing, guys, in hotel rooms, you already know whether it's the remote control. Do you ever go and you wipe off that remote control? Because I

know I do. I am not a crazy pure ah way always always, because I watched that undercover datelight thing on hotels where like, don't ever use the glass in the hotel because like cleaning lady is like undercover. It was like the just I'm staying at the Bocca rot or, I am drinking out of those glasses because it is lovely. I don't care what toilet bowl water has been in that back around, Crystal. I'm drinking it so now I

can as a hair dryer. According to this, Chris, I remember when you and I first kind of started talking and texting each other and like misery less Company on the road. Yeah. And I remember I was working for ESPN and we were staying in some hotel and I literally had this crazy ass weave that I had not for like twelve years, and it was this stupid freaking hair dryer on the damn wall and it was like

sixteen seventy five was the voltage. And I took a picture and sent it to you, and you're like, Mom, Dad, you still have that, Like that's the shit that would catch on fire or burn up. When I was doing a game and we had to stay at like a hotel that had those, because I had so much weave in my hair that it could not deal with it. The worst is when it traps out halfway through drying there and you're running late and now you have half a head that's wet and half the we is dry,

and you're like, oh my god. And then you're calling down to the front desk. Hey, here's a PSA to hotels. Okay, because again, an exorbitant amount of money is spent at hotels, whether it's a good hotel or bad hotel. I ask you things to say to hotel CEOs or whoever's in charge of these things. Why is it that my check in is not until three o'clock, but I got to check out at eleven. I'm not even staying there twenty

four hours. And when it becomes three o'clock and I go to check in, it's like, oh, we're still waiting for your room. Is what is happening? If I had to check out at eleven and I get to check in at three, you should have four hours to clean these rooms. It's ridiculous. And some of these hotels are charging so much money, like you know, the ones at Santa Barbara a crazy behavior. I better get my ass in that room at two fifty nine, and I'm not

leaving till eleven oh one. And sometimes I'm the call for that late checkout, and if you don't give me that late checkout, I'm gonna be pissed and not come back here. So first of all, we got to work on our check in and our checkout time, and we also have to work on if I call down to the front desk and I've forgotten my razor, or I need more toothpaste or whatever it is that I'm calling down for, why does it take hours for you to come up with that razor because the shower's been running.

I need to get in there waiting for the razor, and I got to turn the shower off because we don't want to waste water. And I'm thinking to myself, this is why I should have packed a fuck an extra razor or the extra toothbased because now I'm calling down nineteen times and they're like, okay, room eight twenty seven. She's a real bitch, so take your time bringing anything up to her room and spit in her Bacca rock glass. Exactly. I'm not going to really get into this conversation because

you know what I'm going to say. You make a big deal of like we've upgraded you to an amazing This isn't a sweet. It's pushed off to this side and there's a little extra room, but don't this is we've upgraded you to a sweet. Shit my favorite though. Second, and like we have no rooms available, and then all of a sudden, you like throw out, like you're with Fox Sports and it's like, whoa we were able to free something up. It's like, oh, I bet you were.

But if I was just here solo, Nancy, I'm sitting in this lobby until four o'clock. How about the hotel we just stayed at for the forty nine ers game and the toilet like it was a Toto toilet, And every man on my crew all they did was fucking talk about the toilet how it flushes for you. My producers like talking about, Oh my god, now I'm like pressing all the buttons because it's too much. We'll stop pressing all the button. Somebody else on our crew is like,

I'm so happy I sat there for ten minutes. You know what I don't need to do in the meeting room is talk about the Toto toilet. I'm so happy. You think we're all so close, But where's the coffee? God, I can't drink if I have that coffee, I'm not because I don't know what it was that coffee that I drank. No, I wasn't. That's gross. I would just saying it was so fun traveling with you though it really was you me keV Jewels, like it was a great time. Had find we'd be like we hate everyone,

we hate each other, like disagree with disagree. It was soo the same car together. We were on the flight to other we were, you know, in the delta lounge waiting together. I know. Fox Security was like, no, we don't want this to happen. Were you Jesus or ass on the sideline when all of a sudden thunderstruck came on and Julian looked at you, and I like what the And I was like, Jewels, just get into it. Okay,

Mike out you. I've got to tell you in Tuloom a couple of years ago with our old friends, you sleepy group, when a thunderstruck came on and you knew the whole routine, and I was like, this is dramatic. Aaron relaxed now after watching DC say everyone, I get it. Hell yeah yeah. A lot of people late to the d including myself. The thunderstruck. Wow, I a whole new respect for all things that go with the leg kick and the oh my god, the landing and all of

them were going to have hip surgery after this. Hell yeah? What was I going to say something else about traveling? Oh? Our producer, Adorable Rottie that morning at the meeting room, He's talking about the Toto, but he was also saying, I just really enjoyed seeing you and Chrissa in action. Oh god, sit back and watch wind Ust part. I'll have another drink. You need a muzzle. I love you so much, Adorable. You've got a great crew. They're just so great. We do I And that was one thing

when I went gross Grossy never not smiling. This guy, you guys, imagine like the cutest teddy bear in the whole world and just always smiling. And this is what I want to, you know what, I want to be more like like Grossy. I've never seen him in a bad mood, and if he isn't a bad mood, it's like like like this because I know one night he was in such a bad wad because something happened with the commercial break and he was pill. Oh well, it's very few and far between. I just I want to

work on being like more like him. So I'm gonna what would Grossy do? Grossy and Jesus, you know, really be more like Jesus and rich gross But I want to find Grossy a girl so bad. Okay, well let's do it. Yeah we have we. I don't have to follow through with us now, our matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match. Yeah. But yeah, I was just thinking about it because whitt Night, because all the guys weren't with us because it was just him and I for the

pre game. But I was just thinking about how lucky when I was him and I we had hours to

kill before game. But it's a preseason game, so obviously like not, you know, no one's playing because they want to make sure everyone stays healthy, and so our normal prep or things like that was abbreviated because you just didn't have to do as much as the pre game was only like two minutes anyways, So we walked all around Cincinnati and went of course played for the Bangals for a long time, and you know, we had lunch together, and I just I remember sitting there being like I

am so frickin lucky, and so are you that we work with guys that we also want to hang out with and consider front and how aud Like, you know, you get to travel and go to all these like great places, but like when you get to do it with people that you love, it's just I don't know, I'm really excited for Yes, you know, off seasons is whatever you want to call what we've had where you

get a little break here and there. But I'm really excited to get back to work and like hang with our people because they're just awesome and I love them and I feel great grateful. How many times say grateful, I can't stay grateful, but I am grateful. I think it sounds great. Hey, so I talked about being on a plane, and I talked about people not obeying what the flight attendants are saying or doing all the things.

But here's something they're giving advice on. Don't. Flight attendant says doing this one thing on a plane could make you seriously sick. So interesting. Do not get ice in your drink, warned to flight attendant on Steve's favorite Reddit. The ice is put in a tray with a scoop, and the trays don't get cleaned very often. Every service on the plane is touched by hundreds of people daily and not often disinfected. We don't have the opportunity to

wash our hands at all during the beverage service. Ew. I had read that before, and that is a big thing for me. I also, do you really because I had read that charge should I kind of heard that, like getting coffee isn't a great thing because they use And I don't want to speak out of turn here, but I thought I read one time getting coffee on a flight is not great because they're not using the bottle of water and you don't know where the way.

I don't know. I want to think with that because sometimes at home but you don't know what's the where the water is coming from. I think it helps build up communities, you know, like throw a little bed germs in there every now and then. Sometimes when you're two, I know, we too some winds my nose because my nose is running. I don't know. It's like when we were kids, it was like stuff would drop on the floor. My mom just like you know, eat it off the

floor like a five second rule. Yes, I mean, like cleanliness and all that kind of stuff is paramount. Okay, we get that, but I think I don't know. I never thought about the ice thing that. I mean, the more and more you think about anything, it's disgusting, you know, it's just all of it's gross. And then when I think about it too much, that will make me like a hypochondriac and just want to stay inside and then

not be able to go anywhere or do anything. The thing that I'm always very aware of is doorhand going in and out of a store, restaurant, like I use the elbow, meque the back of the arm, like that's something that I'm very I was watching this lady on my flight. She was just chewing the ship out of her fingers and I was thinking, God, this is so gross. It's on a plane. Like she kept chewing and chewing and chewing, and then she would wipe her nose and chew,

and I was like, so sick. I have a bad habit with because like acrylic girl, where like I'll be like thinking and I'll tap or touch my face. I can need to stop doing that. You know, I'm getting rid of all the fake things, so so I don't have I'm really going, well, let's just take this in the streets. I'm vacillating. I'm going back and forth between do I put extensions back in for the season or do I leave my hair short? I've gotten Okay, you're

you're shaking your head. You want me to leave it short? I love it? Okay, your short? You want short? Steve says short, My mother says short. But then sometimes you and I don't know, I just feel like sometimes on air, you know what it's like, the full like when you put the extensions in it just feels full and like but like, thank God, why does it have to be so long? No, I know we're done with that, like

you know, stripper long. Not that anything's wrong with the stripper I had stripper along and the other day though for our pictures whatever, it's fine. I'm just fully into Like the other day when we were in San Francisco, I tried to put clippings and be cute and then it was so windy. I just took them out in the middle of the field. I was like, hey, Fred Warner and then took my hair. I don't, I know.

I'm just over the idea of like the like it was so windy and the wind blowing, and like seeing because then I always feel bad and I'll tell girls if I see their shit hanging out there. I'm like, hey girl, because I want someone to tell me. And Lord knows, Like my mom will always do this when I'm like a home or something and I'm like walking

in front of her with my dad. She thinks it's like a cute moment of like my dad and I Eight times out of ten every time she's taking a picture of us, like walking the weaves all jacked up and I'm thinking to myself, my God, like this this is how I'm out here. No one is correcting the wrongs in the streets. Yeah, I got to it. And it's more of a security thing where you're just like, I want fullness on hair because you know, sometimes you see people on TV with like three strands and I'm like, hey,

let's put some extensions in. I just you know, my hair journey has been a long one, and thank you for going on it with me, because it's just poor Dominique is always like, what are we doing now? You know, it's something I'm very decisive in my life about a lot of things. Hair is not one of them. So anyways, well, speaking of journeys, this is the last headline I want to hit before we have to wrap it. Air por tray esthetic is annoying everyone, and even the TSA is

aware of this staged glamour photos. If I see you at TSA doing this, I'm taking your tray and I'm turning it over and I know that's not nice and I need to calm down, but we gotta go. We gotta go a stage. I've never even are you insane? Well, you're on TikTok you love TikTok well, TikTok trend where you empty or carry on bag artfully placing everything into TSA bins and snapping so media worthy shots. That's first, speaking of germs, there's so many germs in those trades.

What are you doing? Here's the question that I have, very much like getting off a plane. It's like a NASCAR pit stop where it's like, I don't want to be the person holding anyone up. What airport are you at where you can curate your TSA trade? Because I know that now that I'm even TSA pre check, which I got to talk about TSA PreCheck, I waited a long time to get pre check, and every time I'm digging it, I'm going through there, the bracelets are going off.

I have to back up. I'm just going back to my regular line, right with the lady about that. I'm going back to my line because my common line over here with the general population, I wasn't going off because I would just go through the ones where I'd have

to do this. Now TSA pre check, you're sending me through the metal detector and we got a button on the jane or we got the bracelet, we got the necklace, and now I'm back to square one, and I'm taking more time than I did with the general pop. So anyways, who has time to curate this when there's a line behind you. I'd be like, hey, keep it moving. Now I would lose is mind? Why I don't even know

this picture? Sure, the picture we're looking at will obviously support the that's supposed to be cute, but I don't even know like that just we have the alchemist in there, like, oh, that's my that's what I read. I'm just so I'm so in tune with the world, the alchemist. What stop it? Hope this helps stop it? Who does this help? It doesn't I'll tell you who it doesn't help. That's what the graphic says. I hope it helps. It doesn't help the person behind you or the person behind them trying

to get on that flight. Huh huh. Then I'll tell you who's not doing that. Aaron Andrews, rich Gross, Casey Garland, Kevin Burkhart. When we're trying to make our flight after the game and get a drink before, we ain't taking pictures of that. We're taking pictures at the TGI Fridays when we get our Santa Maga rita bad dad. Here's the other thing that I am why did in the social media world that we live and sometimes where everything has we carriated so perfectly? Who needs this? Who who

asked for this? Because this is just my tangent on a bunch of stuff. But I don't know, I don't even get it. I'm old. Anyways, Well, I'm get on that note. It's time to go to bed because we've been rambling on. No, we have not been on a podcast together in a couple of weeks. We have a

lot of things that we need to say. So if you've learned nothing from this podcast, learn this that Erin and I want you to be nice on an airplane, get through a TSA line quickly, And if you are not being as nice to your significant other as you should be, take time to tell them how wonderful they are. Don't call them buddy, and look both ways before you cross the street. Bye, bye boys, Bye. Calm Down with
