Episode 273: Pregame - Gronk for a Day

this is from Jerry Girl six. Aaron, did the player save a space for you on the air conditioned benches? No? I mean, I will say this. Teams are very very generous with their waters, with their if you need a towel smelling salts, I did that once. I was like, whoa. It was like nailed in the head by a pass during practice, no pregame of the Super Bowl. Conked in the head. What hit me so hard the last time we had a Super Bowl. I'm not going to say

what quarterback hit me? And I was especially with you. I didn't know this. No, it was during the pregame. You were still part of the pregame. I was entroying my mahomes piece and I got nailed by a pass. I looked at the three security members next to me, and I was like, none of you guys tried to catch that. You good. Oh. I was so pissed, but also so grateful it wasn't on air because it would

have dropped an F bomb. And then chiefs training staff saw and I was like, can I please have smelling salts? I think I'm concussed. I wasn't, but I was a little nervous for my first hit and what would come out. But no, I don't go on the air conditioned benches. I have stood in front of the heaters before. We've talked about that a lot I have. I didn't stand in front of the like the blow the misty blowers that the guys have, but you did. Oh I love those, Okay,

right there, I did, Miami. I just feel like it's a tease to my body, and I'm like, these are the conditions, this is the situation. Move it or lose its sister. But I will, you know, I will ask for other things on the bench, like in Green Bay sometimes it's freezing. Love the training staff there. They have soup like they have broth, hot broth that you can drink to what you want. I mean, yeah, I don't know that. I just know the package like it's a it's a buffet. Yeah, so good, but no, no your

conditioned bunches. But man, can I stop going to these places? Take a shot of you to do your report. Let's go to Aarin for more, and she's on the bench just like, oh sap. Well, guys, let me tell you, idle man, where do you pull inspiration from when you're in a slump? Oh, well, I will kind of slump exactly. Let's see pull inspiration from. It's a great question. Let me think. I try to put things into perspective. So my problem it does right now, I don't know. I'm

at the ranch. So it's like trivial things that I just don't know enough about with the ranch, and it just cost me exorbitance amount of money. Oh, exorbitant amount of money. And then I'm like no, I'm like this is elective, Like it's not health, it's not family or friends. So like, I just try to always put perspective on things. I mean, don't get me wrong. There's about five voice notes bitching to Aaron and then I get it out and then I go, Okay, pull it together, Chris. So yeah,

that's my inspirations perspective yours. But yeah, and I had a real shit weekend. But I will say this about my shit weekend. It also made me realize my perspective was my team and not just I don't mean like the people that work with me are for me. I mean my family, my husband, my best friend and her

boyfriend husband. I have such a great group around me that I can send a quick text to about thirty people that this is happening, and different people are doing different things like we got you here, we got you here, we got you here, we got you here, and it was so amazing, especially like Chris and I are never home. It's like dealing with things at home are super hard

and this one is kind of trivial. So it was. Yeah, it was pretty cool to sit back after my chest started to like up a bit, not from phlem and I was like, God, dang, I am so lucky with the group that I have around me. So that was my perspective. And I agree, same thing. But I will say this, and you're not asking for this, but I think very much that's a boomerang like what you put out is what happens. You are my number one crisis friend. You should work for the Red Cross, you should work

for any like emergency as solaces. I'm not kidding first responders, because you have all the answers and sometimes you can could see it for yourself. Just know that that's because you do the same thing. And so it comes back Nick's perspective perspective. It could always be worse. It really could. Next whoa sweet and sweet envy? If you could switch places with one of your coworkers more day, who would it be? Huh? I'll say it. I want to be Gronk for a day. I know it's mine. I always

want to be that. Will I do? He is he I tell people that don't know Gronk this all the time. He is exactly what you want him to be and what you expect him to be. He is the best. I was going to say that because yesterday so Kurt Menafie, because he also has a full time job in New York. He'll leave early, not all the time. This was the first time this year we'll leave. Did you do postgame?

I did one post game? Yeah. The Raider is bron post one, and so it was me, Terry Howie and Gronk, and it's sort of one of those things where it's like you may get it, like I thought I was getting your guys's postgame, and then you guys ended up taking it off air because the timing of the game. So it's just there's a lot of things and this is more it's that's so crazy, by the way, I couldn't imagine. It's so fun of it all. Yeah, no, I that's where I like Jacob Ooman, like Bill Richard's

like all those people that have to coordinate. If you guys think about it, what we're talking about is if this is of any interest you, if you're listening to this podcast, you obviously thinkre enough about what they do for a living that it's if a game goes off the air, then it has to go to studio for the postgame, but coordinating when each game goes off the air and so you're not overlapping the postgame. So it's actually like very much a so free of like things.

Any who, So Terry Gronk and how we walk out and Terry comes up to me, he goes, do you know who this Brandon Ayuki is and I go Brandon Ayuk and he goes no. Gronk said earlier on air, it's Brandon Ayuki. I said. I looked at Gronk, I go, you said his name's Brandon Ayuki and Gronk go's I didn't know what his name was whatever like that, and I started laughing in a couple of super Bowl incredible. But this goes back to Gronk is exactly who he is. By the way, this is Terry Gronk is Terry Junior

like each other, like reincarnated in their own way. But I just love people who are unapologetic about who they are and are. I said to Gronk, I go, you are human espresso. I was like, you love that line, you love them and you are just like and that's actually like from uh, you know who says that all the time is our boss Brad, because I'm like he is. He just instantly puts everyone in a good mood. He doesn't take himself too seriously. He doesn't mind being the

butt of the joke. And like, I think that you and I in our older age have gotten better about self deprecation, but he is next level. So yes, we are unanimous in our gronk uh decision. Key right. Anonymous meda guy who said he we love these was attracted to me then completely ignores me. Okay, meda guy who said he's attracted me but completely ignores me, Well, that's just like being young, and I don't that's juvenile to me. If he said he likes you, then he needs to

pursue you. I'm all about make the fucking effort, Like I'm done like meeting you halfway on that initial thing. This is where like, yes, we're independent women and all this kind of stuff. But I'm very much like old school like when it comes to like I want the man to pursue me. I want the man to set up the date at the beginning. Like once you're in the relationship, that's fine, like if you, you know, pick up the check or whatever. But I need some chivalry.

I need you to open the door. I need you to do all that stuff. So if this guy is like now pretending like he's not into you, I'm bored. Next, don't waste your time. Yeah. I had people do that to me back in my dating days. Oh my god, I thank you so much. I was so trying. Yeah, a couple of them, but I never No, you don't how much time I wasted on that crowd. No move or lose it again? You know, well, you know what

I want you to be. I want I want you to be the guy that's on the side of the road in the blow up thing with the sign and it's spinning. I'm into you. I'm into you. That's what I want. That from oh guy, the hand and the crazy hair, that's a because we got a special today. That's who I want. I don't live in the sun. I don't want to have to do any masks. Are you into me or not? Okay, by the way, that's still such a great movie. He's just not that into you.

Mixed all right? See phones, Aaron. This is sweet. This will make me cry. My son did not have many words until he was closer to two. He's now three and he never stops talking. Mac will get there. You're doing more. Thank you. That's very very sweet. That's very sweet. It is very sweet. Anonymous, How do you deal with decreased confidence after having untrue and misrepresented information spread about you? Did I write this to myself? Did I do this

in my sleep? Especially when you know confronting that person is not worth it and not an option. So again it could be an option. How do you deal with the decrease confidence? Okay, huh do you want to start this one? Because I got a lot to say, so I'm going to think about how I'm going to phrase this. I would say that with both of us and dealing with things like this, maybe I should speak for myself that it does take a minute though your confidence does

take a hit. But much like I talked about in the beginning, where you have a great team around you, they also are the ones that are there for you that said knock it off. These people don't matter. But you also have to get there yourself and that takes time, and it does, and I think you have to kind of go through the path. You have to go through the whole. What am I looking for? The whole? To get there? You have to go through the shit to

get there. And you know what, I'm not going to speak for you, but I will you and I have been through so much shit publicly that and I'm sure more is coming, not for you, but hey, no, my crystal ball is telling me. But it's just at this point, it's like, what are you going to hit And I don't want to put that out there, but I feel like our confidence and our belief in ourselves has gotten that much greater. Where where he's here noringing for the fends. Nope,

you're you're very close. You're getting warmer. You're getting warm to this idea that we No, I'll take some of some of mine self inflicted, did bad decision and men saying too much certain things. Okay, so that's fine. That's just about growing and maturing and taking responsibility. I mean, you know when a basketball game someone commits a turnover and they run down the court and they're like, my bad. I love my bad. There's some stuff it's not because

you know those people that's like, oh it's everybody. Everybody else is the problem. Well, if everyone else is the problem, you might be the problem. So I like to split responsibilities. Some stuff has definitely happened to me that I have been a victim of, and you very much so, so I would say, And getting back to the answering this question,

it's all about and Aaron Rodgers. He keeps coming up in the old podcast, but he said, don't worry about criticism from people that you wouldn't take advice from and that resonates with me where I'm like, why do I care about what these people say if I wouldn't take advice from them. So there is definitely some individuals that I have strong opinions about because the way that they treated me. But all I do now is I now

in my head, know exactly where they stand. Like I've been able to take an inventory, like you're over here in the loser column, you're over here in the winter column. And it makes it easier for me come Christmas time to know who I'm sending a Christmas card to. And let me tell you this, that list one is shorter and shorter and shorter. You're at the top of Santa's good list every year. But I just, yeah, I think it's really cathartic to be able to take an inventory.

Sometimes these people who have publicly criticized me have done me a massive favor. Now I don't have to wonder what you think of me. You've made it very clear what you think about me. So in fact, I'm not going to send you a gift. I'm going to send you a thank you card. You little who Shall I address this too? No? Did that answer your question. I thought that was great. I was way off, Peach, No, you were, we were. It was a collective answer, Peacha King.

If oh I do, that's yours, babe, go ahead. If you could be in any movie or TV show, what would it be? Friends? Friends? I would say that now, because you've gotten me into that. I can't believe it

took me that long to get there. Sex and the City, like those episodes, I want to Carrie Bradshaw and just like especially Michael Patrick King the writing of that show and how it's so poetic and it always comes back her outfits, her her hair, Oh my god, and she had like the flip when it was curly, and it was just like always effortlessly like cool. Yeah, Sex and the City would be mine. Oh, Yellowstone, I'd also be bad. Yeah, yeah,

that would definitely be another one. Well, guys, thanks for listening. Wait, I have a question. Oh yeah, Aaron Jill Andrews. Right, how do you function when you know you have too much on your plate but you have no choice? That's the way the plane has to be. Okay, I'm going to teach you not have a nervous breakdown. Okay, I'm going to teach you something. It's called CNN, not the

news network, no, no acronym CNN, critical need nice. So you're going to make a list of all the critical things that are you need to take care of, feeding back, giving him a bath. I mean just daily critical things that need to be done, the stuff that you need to do. I need to study from my game, I need to book my flight, I need to pull my

outfit for this, I need to pack. And the stuff that's nice is I would like to get new pillows on my couch or I would like to go to lunch with my girlfriends, but that falls under the nice thing. So critical need and nice and it helps prioritize for me when I feel overwhelmed with things and I literally

write it down so that I can see it. And immediately when I write things down, I feel less overwhelmed because now I'm at least remembering that I have to do all these things instead of being like shit, I forgot to do that because I just didn't write it down, and that that happens me more times than not. So I'm trying to be better about writing things down or putting things in a calendar. I was like, I calendar adverse for my whole life. And then I'm like, oh,

I wonder why I'm missing these things. And sometimes in my life I'm like, you're making this harder on yourself. Carisa, just stop do it in the moment. What did you say? Remember when your dad he had that phrase that was like do it right now? What was the thing? Oh, put it away, don't put it down. Yeah, like just do those little things. But again going back to critical need and nice so help just you know, ease some

of that. And also I'm going to say this delegation, I know it's unct to do it now, but there are certain like we've talked about it, Like I don't like to clean my house, so I pay someone else to clean my Right, I've cleaned my house for a lot of years now I can afford to not clean my house. So I'm going to pay someone else to do that. And I'm way that person makes a living because I'm paying for that. I don't want to be

the gardener. Okay, I also had to be the like so I think it's a I've got a cat jumping around back here. Apparently I haven't paid for a animal sitter in here. There's catterally literally cats flying everywhere. But yeah, so designation of responsibilities that you don't need to be by the way, you don't need to be a hero, like look at the cats behind you. Are you in a pat store for yah? These are my little barn kiddies that I brought inside because I want them to

know people. I don't want them to be weirdos. And I'll grab Oh they're playing hold on, look it up on the floor. Oh are they you one of them on the Big Show? Oh that's a tease. There's some more where that came from. So yes, do you? Is that helpful to Angel Andrews? M hmm, okay, And you know what else you'll do. We'll see if she gets back to us and says it is okay. Well, also

tell her when you talk to her next. You need to invest in yourself knowing that a workout, because I think if it's the same Daron Jill Andrew's very good. I heard she did it the same, Oh good she did? Yeah, very good, because then your mind can be clearer. You need to make deposits into yourself because you're no good to anyone else if you're not at your best. Okay, I Love You. Big show coming up Thursday. We're going to solve all the world's problems.
