Episode 309: Pregame - My Hormones are Good

but that's not the kind we're talking about. Oh yeah, I disappear up here in the middle of nowhere, and it's so great because there really isn't service in a lot of places. So it's my built an excuse to not get back to people, except there's the list of people I want to talk to. It was already the small and you're always at the top of it. You were gone. I'm coming back into reality in a couple of days. But it's it's nice to just disappear for a while. You know. We'll talk about all of this

on the Big Show. I want to talk to you about a book I started, and when I say it started, it I got through the introduction last night. It's time for some help ladies and gentlemen, and I'm all in what book? It's a Mel Robbins. We talked about it, but I'll tell you and I yes, that's it. Did you read it? Yeah, I'm reading it. Oh, this is we're the introduction. Yeah, isn't it great? Can we talk about it on the Big Show a little bit? Okay, I'm sure anyone that you know in the world of

Instagram or anything social media, she's everywhere. Mel Robin's self help guruage. Her story is incredible. But yeah, I'm glad my niece got the tattoo. I was like, whoa, she's committed. I'm not going that far. Wow, I know I'm not going that far. I already have enough tattoos and another in my ear, and maybe I will get that when we get back from your lover the ranch. Well, I need a hole in my head if I don't get back to see you soon enough. Okay, pregame situation. What

was happening in our lives? We'll discuss, as Aaron said, all of that on the Big Show. But we've got some questions. I'm pull up him because I am delayed in that. Go ahead, Okay, here we go. Mikayla Emerson. You two remind me of my best friend and I. Ah. We meet on early morning news at our first job. Okay, sorry, my reading is shit. We met on early morning news at our first job. Nothing bonds you more than putting makeup on at four am and craving Chaseburgers by nine am.

Now we're planning a girl's trip. What's your favorite trip together? And any advice that is so cute? I love that. I love that too. Favorite trip, I would say it would have to be well. I can do anything with Chris. I can go to London with a broken heart. I can go to the mountains in Montana, or I can go to a cabana in Mexico, but it has Here's where I am in my life. I just don't want to travel because I've traveled so much. I don't want to go anywhere. So if I'm going to do a

trip with her, I want to make sure. Yeah, we have some plans, but I need some downtime in comfy cozy's a lot of a lot of coffee. Not at the same time, and actually yeah, at the same time. The Bailey's in the coffee some mornings. That's good, But that's kind of what I'm looking at. I like that. I don't want to be rushed anywhere, agreed, because again, to Aaron's point, we could sit anywhere and do anything.

I think that's also the testament of like a great friendship, is that you don't need to do anything to have a good time. We can just sit there. And although I do really love our Montana trips because that's like the perfect combination where we go out, have a little night auxiliary cord who's cord fun? But then yeah, I really I'm going to put the pressure on us though this summer. We have to do something, yeah wherever, I don't care if it's actually have news of what we

may be doing, which is great, fantastic. I love finding things out when we finally have a catchup. When people ask us, why why do you guys decide to do a podcast, I'm like for this because when we haven't caught up during the week, then we at least get an hour to find out things. Okay, great, that's a take. Let me tell you the plus ones will be very happy and very busy. Wow. Okay, you got to call this morning the call from the bullpen. Put that relief

picture in. Let's get it out and keep it moving, Mikayla. That's also adorable that you guys got to work on your first job in morning news. Hi Erin also Aaron and I also have an affinity for local news. There's going to be a time in our lives. I hope it's a retirement community in Florida or somewhere where they can roll us out and we can work like a couple days a week and the morning news can or any time like the evening news. Can you imagine? I

can't imagine. I think we should have a ten o'clock morning show I do on a national network. I do. There you go, ladies and gentlemen listening. I do. I just I think we should. It'd be great the Plus ones could come in for a segment. It'd be a time. If I hear any more about the fucking plus one podcast. He keeps talking about it, and I was like, you know what, you're not allowed to talk about it exactly. I was like, you don't get to keep talking about

things you're not actually going to do. Okay, I'm going to go to space. I mean, I just bring that up every day. I mean, at some point we have to have our tickets booked to these events. How your podcast,

the Michael strayhand story about outer space? Mm hmm. We went on a really fun little trip last year and got to go see Stray's gorgeous house, yeah, in an undisclosed location, and he was giving us the grand tour and we were looking at all the art and you were so wonderful to be like, hey, Stray, where did

you find this piece of art? And I thought, wow, that's very smart to ask this, And he said, you know, when I was in outer space, I talked to this guy and we're like, only only effing Strake could go. You know when I was in you can't be mad at when I was on Mars, I was able to find this art curator. You're like I'm saying when I'm in Culver City, not outer space. God, what a fucking guy that he is? Such a dream. I can't wait. We're also doing that trip again. I didn't say anything. Oh,

and we're writing things down for later. Okay, anonymous friend is now dating my ex husband?

my favorite it's not great. Oh that we talk about it like a game, so and so with sacks seven times. Yeah, that's not great. It's not it's not good, Anonymous, This is terrible. And none of my friends would date my ex husband, So I know this. Anonymous ain't someone I know Hey, Anonymous, if you could get back to us, I'm interested to know how good of a friend this was? Oh oh my god, I need more information? Yeah sure, yeah. Next,

Also we got a new category. Oh, multiple people asking what happened with Gillian and the guy from Seattle in the elevator. It went nowhere because I'll say it, I don't think Jillian really wanted was excited about us playing detective. So if anybody else wants, I'm excited about that. It died. It was da dead on arrival. It was a lot of talk and then fizzled, you know what I mean. I don't know Jillian. I was having this conversation with my girlfriend Jen the other night. She came and was

hanging out with me. And Jen is beautiful, she's fun, she's funny, she's all of these things right and not Jen, Jen? Not Jen shut up a friend of the podcast, and she talked about like how shitty these dating apps are. This is a common theme, like it's so hard to find some one, and Jen is an easy person to set up. And so I said, girl, you just got to put yourself out there. Okay, you guys try to dare to d M game. You got to do whatever. She goes, we're watching the show that Jake Jillen Hall

was in, which, by the way, is fantastic. Presumed when writing it down, Write it down on Apple Jake Jillen Hall presumed innocent. Great, Okay, I love a series. I don't want to wait that. I thought I heard that there's a lot of like flashback of sex scenes, but not like grotesque nudity, like not like it's like tasteful like.

of a dare to DM. So we're sitting there on the couch and m Jake jill and Hall, and she goes, my mom told me to reach out to you because she thinks that you would be she thinks that you and I would be great together. And I was like, yeah, I was writing it for her. I was like, let's go. I was like, what's the worst that can happen? He writes back? He did, this is no, no, no, no no. I said, what's the worst that can happen? He writes back. I mean, you're already going into it assuming like he's

never going to see this, He's never going to write back. Well, you know, I've had some luck with the old random dms on the thing. Now they don't go anywhere, but like it's fun to get, you know, the response. So I showed her. I said, look, we're going to do at least once a week, you have to randomly DM somebody that just may seem out of this world. We'll bring it back to the space conversation. And I was like why not, you know, if anything else, it just

keeps it exciting. So then of course Steve gets involved. Steve's like, has he responded yet? Like thirty seconds later, I was like, okay, Steve. I was like, I want to be the service up here. It's terrible. I'm sure you'll melt Robins do the five seconds like thing five four three one blast, damn it exactly. So I don't know where this took. Oh back to Jillian is that I know she hasn't d Aaron's points. I don't know if she wanted that. But anybody that wants us to

get again need I remind you. We love love we do. I still want to officiate a wedding. If anyone out there is getting married, well, no, because I'm not getting married. We've had this conversation. If anyone wants us to officiate a wedding, I think it would be fantastic. You're not gonna do it, ladies and gentlemen. No, I was thinking of our opening line, are we doing it together? I just invited myself. So it's a calm down wedding. What do you mean? Yeah, we're what what didn't you hear about?

We are officiating. If anybody wants us to officiate a wedding. That's a big fee though for us to do that, because it's going to catch on and you know, okay, fine, I will do it for free. If you want to pay Aaron, she'll do it. We're not charging people. The first one is free. Anything after that is a day rate. What do we got? Oh J nine caras? Okay, apologies, we're terrible with these names. Is it harder on you or your families to integrate back into the day to

day after football? Well, our plus ones are going to start a podcast, and I'm sure they'd love to tell you how easy or hard it is. No, I think it's both, don't you think. Yeah? I think it's growth. Yeah, we'll talk more about this on the big show. I want to know how re entry is going for you. I got a lot going on, I really, but I think it's just the week I think. Yeah, hormones are good. I am back. I'm working out my hormones. Oh you know, it's not that time. I feel happy. I don't feel

like emotional, So my hormones are okay. Right now, back on the peptides. I need to do it, nad Iv. I'm really trying to on screen. Yeah no, Yeah, started my little ocean right here on the old good Free Yeah. I'm trying to. I'm going for a meeting, a lunch meeting today. Her hormones are good, and she's going for a lunch meeting and she's on the cream. The cream, by the way, is we're a pre cancer thing.

I've been throwing a lot of things out. It's very cathartic for me to I actually did this. I cleaned out the pantry down there the other day. I love it. I love throwing things out. And once I'm on a roll, like once I start, it's game on, and the same for my life. Things happen in our lives that allow or force us to take some inventory, and again, those people will weed themselves out anyways. But I would say, in this particular case, yeah, you need to do what's

best for you. And I I'm with Aaron, I'm kind of well, I shouldn't say I'm with Aaron. I don't know if she's in a selfish stage of her life. I'm in a very selfish stage of my life. I'm anapaul about doing what I want to do, whether that's not going to a dinner because other people are going, or canceling plans, or just wanting to be alone, or just wanting to hang out with Aaron. Like, I'm okay

with all that. And if this person is toxic to you, why are you going to subject yourself to something that's not the best thing for you? And I think there's sometimes you work through friendships that are really important. Aaron stood buy me through a lot of stuff that she's like to use this enough of this, but I say it a lot. I would probably still be in a bad place if it wasn't for the ultimatum that she

gave me. So with that said, if this person means enough to you, then fight for it and really be honest with her about where you're at. But if she's kind of a peripheral friend, then just stop texting back and stop calling she'll get the message, and if she doesn't, well that's on her. I'm in a real moment in time Whitney Houston great song where lie you have to tolerate some things because other people are around, and I'm just not doing it. I'm like, yeah, I'm good. I'm going

to hang back here. I don't need to go there. I'm in because I already know my mood, I know my facial expressions, I know the vibe I'm gonna give, and it ain't going to be comfortable for anyone. So what I'm really happy for the first time in my life is not having fomo for what other people are doing. I already know I'm not going to be able to tolerate it and it's not going to be good for anyone. So I have removed myself from a couple of situations

and I'm really enjoying it. I'm god from the real health I've felt lake. I'm trying to read Mel Robbins. Yeah, doing skincare I shouldn't be doing. It's great. Do you know where What the problem is for me is that I'm almost too comfortable with how small the circle is.

It's like where if you if I'm going to be bad. No, okay, because I'm like, oh should I like not isolate so much, because you know, you don't want to get to a place where you're just like a hermit and then you don't want to do anything like I think it's important, Like we talk about this, we're proud of ourselves once we get out and we go to a dinner date with each other. Yeah, you're like, oh, I'm proud of us for getting out of the house and scheduling things.

So I just need to I remember. This reminds me of my dad where I was single because I've always been relationship dependent. I like being in a relationship. I like having a partner, I like having a teammate. And there was a time where I was in a little bit of a lull and I was just like okay with being single, and I said to my dad. I was like, I'm okay if I'm single forever. And he goes, WHOA,

relax on that, I'm okay if you're single forever. He's like, because then you're going to get too comfortable being single, and then you're gonna have a really hard time meeting someone because you're so set in your own ways that you're not willing to like open up space for someone else. Anyways. That's a whole ted talk in and of itself on relationships that we don't have time for in this free game. But I just think that, yeah, I need to just

balance the isolation versus obligation. I've just ide here, I don't have time for I don't have time for sloppiness. I work too hard and you're not gonna You're not gonna waste my time with sloppiness, and I'm not going to tolerate it. I'm good, I'm done playing. I'm obsessed. Oh my god, I sack. Oh my god, I already know. I already know. I've got reasons behind that. Oh yeah, what are your intentions? My god, cruel intentions, as I like to say, you're a loser. Anonymous said, okay to you.

Oh sorry, I skipped one, deb deb loje coo. I'm so sorry. Deb. Do you have to do hair and makeup multiple times before a game or is it just once pregame? Good question? Uh, just once for me for pregame. I mean, Dominique is my sweet angel that I have actually both Box and Amazon, but touch ups for halftime

and for post game. But yeah, although I will say sometimes I do early, not sometimes every week I do an early morning draft Kings hit shout out the Crown is yours use promo code, Carissa, I do that at seven am. I do that early, and I'll do like a light hair and makeup, and then our game is not until nights, So sometimes I I'll go like work out in the afternoon whatever, and then do it again. But very rarely. I guess it's the succinctuated that you girl.

You only do it once before the game and then touch ups yeah, yeah, yeah, unless I decide to poposit in the third quarter and then we really got to do a touch up in the fourth. It's nuts. You're You're up? Is that it okay? Anonymous? I don't know what this means. Is it okay to use chat GPT to help talk to girls? I have no clue what that means. Oh okay, well, so it's your AI. It's basically like there you type in something into chat GBT and they come up with a response for you that's

like getting funny and whatever. Yeah, like a fake assistant? Exactly is this thing on? I can't seem to find those pink leather pants, So anonymous is it? Okay? No, don't do that, because what's gonna happen is then you meet this person in real life where you go on a date and they're gonna be like, Wow, you were so much better on text because the text wasn't you.

So I think there's a time and a place for chat GBT, Like if you come up with like a show idea and you need a summary, like, they're fantastic for that. I love those things. Steve uses that shit all the time because he'll like, uh, come up with different ideas and then you need it chat GBT to like round out the edges. But don't do it when

it comes to correspondence. It feels fraudulent and that's then you're gonna give it out pretty quick too, especially if you don't words and all of a sudden you're using big words like stop. That'd be like me to summarize that's not even a big word. Wonder if you wrote on an email or a text to summarize this conversation. Love you and We'll see you for the big show.
