Speaker 1 (00:00):
I have a crush on the foreign exchange student in
my class. Should I go for it? You know our answer,
as long as you're not the teacher. Calm down with
Aaron and Carissa is a production of iHeartRadio.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Welcome everybody to the pregame.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
Our wonderful producer Ryan is back, so that's what we
were just talking about.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
If he takes a lot of vacations or just jealous. Yeah,
and Ryan also works very hard.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Back. Part of ise not routine. Part of his rundown
today included Jimmy Johnson saying goodbye, which we are going
to talk about on the Big Show. Coach Jimmy Johnson
saying that he was going going to be leaving Fox,
so we will discuss that on the Big Show. But
welcome to the pregame, my angel. We've got a lot
of fun questions this week. We'll just jump right into it.
Shall we say this name? Okay, can be Bambi too?

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Why would you have said it? I think that's funny.
Can't be Bambi. I don't even know why.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
I think it's funny and I don't know why I
added an extra B and canby, but it's adorable.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
What do you like better packing or unpacking for a trip.
Neither hate it.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
I was talking to somebody today who handles potentially current
affairs for you and I just some things about potentially
everything's potentially some stuff coming up, and they were like, well,
if we could get you guys both there going out
of state? I said, I got to be honest, if
there's any way we could do it in state, I said.
She and I travel for six months out of the year,

(01:32):
and the last thing we want to do is travel.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Hope you don't mind. I spoke for you. You can speak.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
It's the same thought process, everything's the same thought In fact,
you said, although you said neither and I said neither,
which one is it? They both both don't touch that
my grammar.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
It's horrific.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Sorry, sorry, it is so crusty and it really hurts.
How's it coming along? For those of you that are new,
Aaron's working through some an issue on her upper lip.
But it's not what you think it is is it's not.
It's a pre skin cancer situation. And so we did
a cream. I'm doing I did a cream for five
days on it. We'll get into this in the in

(02:10):
the big show, because I am now going God, this
shadow is so aggressive.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
That's also something we'll get to in the big show.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Doing our own makeup and doing the appointments that you
need to do.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
I went for the old.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Oh, it's a great idea until you get in the car,
skin check the whole shebang, she bangs, she bangs, bangs.
I want to pass out in the middle of it
because I'm like so afraid they're going to find something.
We'll talk about it in the big show, okay, because
I have questions about that. Actually, since I've never done
a cold body stand, I know. Okay, then I need
you to help me with that.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Okay, we'll talk about it.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
We don't like packing or unpacking, but if I have
to choose, I would say I prefer unpacking because it's
very I am a as soon as I don't want
to say as soon as I get in the door,
but like within the hour or the second hour, that
thing is unpacked and it's like thrown into laundry because
I don't.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Like the suitcase just there. Steve is notorious.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
That suitcase stays packed until the next trip he goes on,
and it drives me nuts and I'm like, you know
what again, let him.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
That's his problem on mine. Let him. He wants to
keep that dingy closing there, that's on him, not me.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
I just have to it is your problem when it's
in the middle of your floor, though, Nope.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
I throw it in his own little dressing area and.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
In the palatial palace that we live in, in his dressing area,
I throwed it by his dresser, and I just it's
not my problem. So yeah, unpacking it makes me feel
good and organized to just be done with that now.
I like to unpack when I'm on the road. That
is something I have inherited from my husband. He does
a full like we go away, We're so excited for

(03:42):
a trip. He is give him fifteen. He's unpacked his suitcase,
he's put it in drawers, he has hung it up.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
He is doing his thing, moment to moment, the people
to people. What does that?

Speaker 1 (03:55):
And I do that when I'm on the road for
games because I feel like I can function better if
my shit is laid out, put out and I know
where it is.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
I do I didn't used to do that.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
I do that now because you do it, and it
does make a big difference, and it doesn't make you
feel so like all over the place, a little organization
goes a long way.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
Nukes mostly Nina.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
When y'all get together, what's the drink you order where
you know the night will be wild. I have a comment,
but I won't make it because I don't want to
get in trouble.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
No, not about you.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
I just don't want people reading into things, So I'm
not going to say it.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
I'm going to be cautious. I don't know, because I
guess it's shots.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
I mean, the last time we went out and it
got wild, we were with Esso Hermosa No Manhattan Beach.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
You guys, did I think it was your decision?

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Fireball?

Speaker 1 (04:50):
Did yaeger mister or shit Jegermeister? Yeah, Fireball and yaeger Mister. Yeah,
but that's like once a year.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yeah, that was like two years ago. Yeah. I do
love a f ball shot though. I'll get in the
mix real quick with that. I don't care.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
It's fantastic. It's Christmas in a cup, yes, right, so good.
I can't do shots. I just can't. I'm a sipper.
I like if I go get like a little tequila shot,
but I'll sip it.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
I can't shoot it up.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
No. Oh yeah, no, I'm just like give it to
me and like keep it moving. But I did stop
doing shot. Does fireball count as a shot? It's Christmas
in a cup, I don't think so, So let's let's
omit that and then the Yaeger's like again every blue moon.
I don't know though in college I love that ship.
Oh my god, I do too. Love a blue moon.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
You the light sky? No, what's that?

Speaker 1 (05:41):
It's the lighter calorie version of blue moon called light
sky or whatever.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
Very good.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
When Jarrett played for the Kings, my go to was
a blue moon with an orange and a Wetzel's pretzel.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Wow, it was fantastic.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
I'm order shout out to Jonathan Quick for a shutout
in his eight hundredth game. By the way, Oh my
fricking cutie.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Love it.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
But I got to ask him questions what he does
about his knees in his lower back.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
He's been a hit fling back.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
God, dang, I've been having back pain lately and I
just never had back pain. So I need to do
a better job of stretching. I think on the ranch, yeah,
probably all my ranch. And no, honestly it might be
from that not trying to be dramatic, but like you
know what you is, you do like weird muscles and
stuff you're not normally doing, picking up hey.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
Barrels, you know, working around my lower backs?

Speaker 1 (06:38):
Hey, any moms out there, actually, anybody any ranchers out
there that have advice or or Carissa's lower back, although
we could ask NHL Royalty Jonathan Quick about that or
any moms out there.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
My whole thing is picking up the toys and putting.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
The puzzles back together, and my lower I'm like, I'm
gonna pull this puppy. I mean, I'm not like these
cute twenty five year old moms with the twenty month old. No,
but I think I was thinking about this today. And
don't ask me why. I was thinking about being dead
when he's in college. Yeah, okay, that's enough. After we
got off the phone today and I was driving and
I was thinking, wow, like picking up a kid, it's

(07:14):
like he's getting bigger, and just like the bend down
and pick up and the on the hip move. That
doesn't bog me bug me as much as like bending
over and putting all the puzzles together, like I sound old.
When I'm done putting everything back together. I'm like, oh,
it's like, do you hear yourself?

Speaker 2 (07:34):
Does he do that?

Speaker 1 (07:35):
Put his hands up like he wants you to pick
him up? Because I want that. That's cute. I want
to see it from him. We're so close to talking.
We say yes, we say mama, we say dad, Dad,
we say no. We're so so on the cusp of talking.
But I don't like whining. Whining has never been my thing.
I mean, I'm a whiner, but it's And then so

(07:58):
we do the sign language, which I never thought i'd
be in, you but really good habit for please and
thank you because I know you did that. I m
in the habit of please and thank you?

Speaker 2 (08:07):
More food? Oh how did you know sign language? My
nannies come on.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
I'm like, but when he does this, I'm like, do
you want to go up? And if he says it,
does this, say yes, yes, please?

Speaker 2 (08:21):
And really oh cute. I like that.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
I just think that's so cute when little kids like
put their hands up and they want you to pick
them up. Back to uh Mosley, Nina Martina answer this question. No,
Martini's I know it's going to be a good night.
We're going to get in the mix if I'm ordering
a martini. Mm hmmm, that's mine.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
You're so consistent. I'm just sorrying boring.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
I'm not boring. You're consistent. And I wish like dwning
you don't.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
I don't like white wine. I mean I love it.
And then the South of France.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
Okay, anonymous, I have a crush on the foreign exchange
student in my class. Should I go for it? You
know our answer, as long as you're not the teacher.
Oh good point, good point. Oh my god, it's a
great point by you. Yeah, we got to keep that separate.
We don't ever know that.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
This one is a great question.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
Andrew Tito one two three, ban the Tushprush yay or nay.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
I think they should ban that name. It's the brother
Lee Shave. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
I see both sides of it, eye too. And this
is where I stand in life. And I know you
feel passionate about this as well.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
Passionate kisses.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
I am not about to give my opinion on things
in football because I haven't played. I am here to
report what guys have told me, what I observe. I
am so tired of people that never played giving their opinion.
This is what I can report, I can report. I

(10:03):
can say this. I've covered the Eagles. I love the Eagles.
There's some of the best guys out there. They love
it because it's working for them. But then cut to
Chris Jones for the Super Bowl telling us, you know, listen,
it does affect your body. You can get hurt doing this.
And then the first time the Eagles attempted the brotherly shove,

(10:25):
I'm doing a report about how he's got he has
a stinger, So I see both sides. I have no
idea what they're going to do. Yeah, well, I think
that's interesting. I have opinions. I'm with you in the
same way I have opinions on football because I'm a fan.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
So I still have.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
I'm trying to give an example of like people were like,
you know, bitch about prior to you know, the Super Bowl,
like oh, Kansas City, and then they went through it
and around like, well, okay, I about that, yeah right,
like those opinions like we're allowed to not that we're
allowed for whatever. I probably should you clarify what I
mean about opinions. I'm just so tired of people with
talking that are talking heads that never played this board,

(11:08):
that act like they did, and it's like.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
Let's go to the experts on this. I'm with you
on that.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
So that's a great point about Chris Jones, as you
reported on in the Super Bowl. If it's something like
that where it affects both, I don't know, I don't know.
It's an advantage and it's like just this, that's what
they It's a skill set that they have because of
Jalen Hurts, the skill set they have because of that
offensive line because they thought to do it, and even
like with Josh Allen, like the same kind of thing

(11:34):
because he's a big, huge quarterback and like, I don't know,
I don't know, I'm indifferent on that. You know, who'd
be a good person to ask? Vic Fangio, defensive coordinator
for the Philadelphia Eagles. I mean, he likes it, but
if he had to go up against it, Yeah, I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
It's a great question. We will ask the players and
report back.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
But thank you for the question, Andrew Tito kay finn NICKI,
I'm so sorry. Is there an athlete you have yet
to interview who you would love to Yeah, we know mine.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
Mine's always with the Michael Jordan.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
But I don't ever want to interview with him because
I would just be nervous about him having some weird
tick and then I just couldn't get over it. He
doesn't have a tick tick season. I've had to get
four ticks out of my sweet Frankie's head because up
at the ranch. Oh no, yep, you got.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
To watch for it when you're out. Do you know
how to do it?

Speaker 1 (12:33):
You twist in your pull so you see when you
worry about it getting on you. Yeah, I mean, but
like so I burned the end the tip of a
knife just to keep like an old steak knife that
like in a plastic bag. Just burn it, like take
a lighter so it heats up the end of it,
and then you have to stick that into the head
like the like the scalp of where it is, because

(12:53):
you got to burn the tick head off, because that
if it burrows into the head of the dog, then
we got problems. We don't need that or like a
human your lime disease or something, your dog's head. Yeah,
but to kill the tick, it doesn't hurt them, but
it like burns the head off and then they die
and it's actually very rewarding. I have a thing now,
I like comb through all their hair. I mean they
have they're on medicine, but like they're I mean, those

(13:15):
dogs are like in the wilderness.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
And yeah, but AnyWho, I digress. I don't know. Let
me think about this. Let me think about this. Do
you have one off the.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
Top of your head of an athlete an interview that
you have and Larry Bird, I've never done a sit
down interview with Sidney Crosby. I would have liked to
do that back in the day when I was covering hockey,
feel like, just you know, the greats of the game.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
I would have loved to do that. I love that.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
Yeah, I mean I've never done a sit down with Lebron. Like,
I don't know, I feel like in the checklist of it,
I also didn't cover the NBA, but like, I don't know,
I just feel like in the you know, your wall
of fame where you have like the different pictures that
you know of all the different experiences we've had, it
would be nice to have a Michael Jordan and mix.
Maybe I'll get over it, you know, maybe I will
get over it. I would love you to get over it.

(14:12):
We have a europe on this, Oh, it's okay. My
question for me passionally at the ranch, did some of
the dogs come with the ranch or did you rescue them?
Great question, Great question, passionally. Actually, here's such a sweet
homeward bound story. So when I got the ranch, about
the ranch all the animals except there was like four

(14:34):
dogs that were leaving with the previous The owner didn't
live on the ranch full time who I bought it from,
but he had a person that lived on the ranch
full time. So that guy took the four dogs and left,
but still lived close by. So I then got two
great Pyrenees because you're supposed to have these great dogs
toe like look after the other ranch animals. So at

(14:56):
that point I'm like, okay, well get these other two dogs.
To of the four dogs came back to the ranch,
found their way back up. They like miles and miles
and miles. They treked back up the hill to the ranch,
and one day Tony says to me, she's like, Pilot
and Norman are back, and I was.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
Like, I love those names. My god. I was like
they are and she's like, yeah, is that okay? If
they stay?

Speaker 1 (15:18):
And I'm like, are you kidding me? Like it was incredible.
It was so sweet, like that's the only place they knew,
so they came back. So those two stayed. And then yes,
since then, I have rescued all the other ones, but
and my sweet pilot passed away. But oh my god,
what good dogs. They are such such good dogs. But
thank you for the question. Okay, these dogs are huge too, right,

(15:40):
Like how much do they weigh?

Speaker 2 (15:42):
I don't know. I mean, how much does Howie weigh?

Speaker 1 (15:44):
Like eighty Okay, so I would say, like Frankie, the
new one, she's littler, so she's probably like seventy five,
but like Simba's massive. Simba is probably like one hundred
and twenty pounds maybe. Wow, Like in his head alone,
it's like, you know, how big Howie's head is, Like
those Great Journey's dogs are like bullshit big, but they're
they're so friendly, like especially like with little kids, like

(16:04):
you'd think, like, oh my god, big dogs the kids. No,
they're just little dream boats. We got a big show
to talk about. Jimmy Johnson retires. Aaron and I are
both on the same page with some stuff. When it
comes to us getting ready. We had the situation the
other night. What else do we got going on on
the Big Show. Gal, I got some questions. I'm doing

(16:24):
a little project and I want to throw a question
out to you that our contractor said. And I was like,
oh my god, this is a podcast. Love this okay,
join us on the Big Show and we're keeping Alex
Earl a shout out too.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
Yes, I thought you were going to say, like a
giveaway or something.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
I was like, it was fun. What do we got, Actually,
let's give away something. I'm gonna think if something to
give away, that's weird, that's here's a pillow.
