We are fully in our stride, like there's no like, Oh, we just started like we're still working at the kinks, like we are in year four of this Batoy and it feels great.

We have our same group back and everyone's very comfortable in their designated roles.

So I'm excited about that.

For Fox, it's a it's a shake up.

I'm I'm curious because on the kickoffs, well because Peter Scheger went to ESPN sadly, which makes me bummed because I love him, and Michael Vick went to go coach at Norfolk State, which obviously I'm happy for his opportunity there, so as Jules and I and Charles Woodson and so we'll find out, you know, a little bit more as we closer to the football season, sort of the the structure and the run down and kind of how we want to frame that show.

But I think it's a new beginning, So as we're hitting our stride in Amazon, we're kind of starting back over at Fox, which is also exciting because that means that there's new opportunities to do different things on that show.

K Zook fourteen Aaron best advice for taking care of yourself physically and emotionally during IVF treatment.

Thanks so, full disclosure.

It's not great, But full disclosure, it's not that bad.

It really isn't You.

Like look at it and you're like, oh, this is the worst month ever, and it's tough.

It's really tough.

And listen, I don't know how many times you've done this.

When it's number eight, number nine, like I did, it's like, okay, I am, I'm done.

But when you look back at it, and especially if it goes successfully, you're like, it wasn't that bad.

Know that it's probably going to be a month of your body feeling the way it feels the first week not that bad.

Just lah, it sucks?

What it just sucks?

I can't remember I've only done this thing one time.

Yeah and one and done?

But what was that for?

What is the first week?

Is it just like prepping your body?

What is that?

Look?

The first week, by the way, great question out of you start taking your vitamins and all your supplements now just so you get your body going.

But the first week is just the shots.

And then the hard part is you don't know how long the shots are gonna be.

Sometimes they go really well and it's ten to eleven days.

Sometimes it's thirteen to fourteen.

Sometimes they're not enough follicles and they want to keep it going.

The hard part is the blood at the end, where they take your blood.

Sometimes it's like, you know, you're doing it every day and you're like, I don't.

Have any more places for you to need blood, So that gets a little difficult.

By the time the retrieval happens, it's a walk in the park.

You know why.

You get to be put asleep, You get to you remember that right, and you're done.

And what does suck after that is you can't really work out for a week and a half because they want this swelling to go down.

They want your ovaries to go down.

Any men that are listening to this and it's too graphic.

I don't care.

So it is like, all in all, kind of a month out, but listen, if you get good results, it doesn't matter in the it's like.

A month of your life.

Somebody would but I wish that somebody.

Sorry, I wish that somebody would have told me.

And I probably wouldn't have listened because it was at the place I was in my life where I would can't tell me nothing, where I would have like detoxed a little bit before.

I wish I had done it in my twenties.

I'm so pissed I didn't that part.

But yeah, we're I think I was like drinking the day of or something, and it's like, I mean, look, who knows if it makes a difference.

But I think like there's always that thing where you're like, okay, like this is really important, maybe take it seriously.

But I think that great, yeah exactly.

Let us know how it goes.

Kay.

So fourteen sending you good vibes.

Yeah, speaking of good vibes, I think I bought the I should have asked you.

I was at Target the other day.

I bought Yeah, I bought the Good Vibes.

Well, I think it's the Good Vibes.

But white one.

Yeah, the White one.

Yeah.

Over twenty million copies sold.

Whatever was congratulations, I know.

I was like, well, I want to see what this book's all about.

And it's, like you said, it's quick.

It's like three pages per little so I've been doing that and then open it on a page and just read that little less.

Oh my god, you're crazy, Anonymous.

Should I tell my mom I dislike her boyfriend.

He lives with us and I find him to be the biggest man child.

The issue is he's making my mom happy for the first time since a messy divorce.

Should I tell her how I feel?

Or suck it up until I leave for college?

Second up, sister, No, you gotta especially, and I appreciate that the anonymous that you understand that this is making your mother happy and so this isn't about you for the first time in your life.

Put yourself second.

Your mom is happy, and since you are leaving for college now, I think we've had something similar to this before.

If there's an issue of like, he's not nice to your mom, or it's at like a detriment to her and she's ignoring this warning signs, then yeah, you say something.

But if it's just you don't like him, then yeah, unfortunately this is not your relationship.

So yeah, ip it, ip it ipper?

George Bush?

Is that what we said?

Karen and I would have code words, whether it's for work or whether it's when we're around our significant others.

If we want to complain about something, we wouldn't make up a word.

Zipper was our work one.

And then when we were on vacation.

I don't know why I thought it was George Bush.

Why George Well, I don't know why was George Bush.

But whenever we'd say George Bush, the other one had to shut up speaking of Zipper.

Okay, Mike, Yeah, I mean, I'm so sorry, Mike, And because Mick, Mick Acus.

I'm so sorry.

That's a hard one.

Yeah.

Have either of you had mean girlfriends?

I'm fifty seven and experienced this so often.

Oh no, oh, I would think so because I don't have many girlfriends.

I got I got a small gro I called bullshit on that, because no, you have so many girlfriends, and I get like mad when you're like, oh, I was with my girlfriends and I was like, what why, shit, I don't need you to have other friends.

No, because you've got your hockey group.

You've got the mom group.

You've got the group.

I don't know many moms in the group.

No you do.

You got the hockey mom group.

I got the out.

Yeah, you've got You've got a bunch of girlfriends.

Yeah, you know.

I've come across a couple doozies.

But it's not like they're mean.

I'm just like, I'm good.

And I was.

We had some guests in this past week and we were kind of reliving someone we all know, and I had had a few and I was like, I told you, guys, this girl she's so annoying, and I freaking I called it.

No one listened to me, and uh, yeah, that felt good.

She's not mean, just annoying.

I don't really know any mean do you.

Well, I don't know, do you I don't have I don't think it's about mean.

I think I just have hit an expiration point with a few people in my life that I just go, I'm all right.

Just because they've been there for a long time doesn't mean, we got to, you know, keep keep them in the rotation.

They're not stored under favorites anymore on my phone, so I think that's fine.

And also it changes like there's different chapters and different friends in your life for different reasons.

And if you're lucky enough, which I think we both, I know we both are, to have a few really good girlfriends, then I'm good.

It's not about how many.

It's you know, the old adage of like the quality over quantity kind of a thing.

So in this situation, as far as how to deal with it, I know we're watching your name making cuss, but I would say, just say less is more and not communicate with those people and hopefully they get the hint.

If not, just right back, you're a bitch.

No, I'm kidding the right.

Hey.

I have a thought.

I have a memory that just came up because I was thinking of why I gotta be so mean.

You were talking about different times in our lives.

I remember when you and I both worked at ESPN and someone who's really taking us off, I don't think ticked you off, but takes me off, and we started singing that so loud.

I think on our way to the Hampton's before you got pulled over.

Oh my god.

Wait wait it's who I'm thinking about, right, big Gold see yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, of course that's funny.

Now, Like in my life, I'm like, I don't cur you know, you know kids say that.

Still I don't cur.

No, I don't think so we're so we're so far removed from cool things people say.

But I'll tell you what, I'm still not removed from the warrant that's out for my arrest in New York City.

If I was to ever d better not go to that wedding.

You're going to get arrested.

R Nast nine one four would love to see you both play in the American Century Golf Tourney.

Nope, nope.

Oh oh, I'm going to tell you I would love to play in that tournament.

But the only way I could play is if it's a scramble and by it's like best ball.

So I'm not interested in like the pressure of having to like carry the whole skill scorecard alone.

Like it's more fun if it's like Hey, we all hit a ball, we'll play the best one and then go from there.

That's the way I'm interested in it because I also have not worked on my golf game near enough.

Should we do a better job?

While I say that, and there's no way it's going to happen during the season, but I feel like we should take lessons together and do it together, and then we'll actually follow through with it.

I would love that I did a pickleball lesson today and I'll talk more about that on the Big show.

Oh my god, Jesus, I don't know who we are these days.

I'll tell you who I want to be, somebody walking around with some better legs.

So I.

I also need to talk about that this padel and paddle and now right when everyone's getting into pickle ball.

Now there's a new sport and you're building.

We're excited, but then it's like, well, okay, we'll talk about it later.

Bryan are one astute producer, will keep track of it because I'm squirrel anonymous.

I had a coworker, I'd like to get to know her as more than just coworkers if she was interested, but also gave but also gave her an out by saying, I will keep things one hundred percent professional if that's her preference.

She said, let's go out from Margarita.

Sometimes I reached out to make plans, but she's out of town, which turned out to be true because she was out of the office all week.

Should I ask her out again or wait for something up?

You you set something up?

She was out of town.

She wasn't lying.

Don't I waititive on this.

Don't get sensitive.

She's out of town.

She's out of town.

And then if you pull that whole like, oh, I was waiting for you to set it up.

If you're not going to take the initiative and in the pre dating stages, what's going to happen in the relationship.

No, you gotta grab those balls and do something with them, throw in the air and head to the pickle ball court with them.

No, go it on.

Okay, so we have heard off.

Stop being a chick you can go show them who's boss.

Hey, why do I have a cold?

You're so much better than me, sick.

I'm like, you can manage.

You're really good at it.

Oh, it's just what are we lingering for here?

Oh?

Fun?

Anonymous follow up take care me okay?

Original question from a month ago.

This was in about mid June, about to be roommates with my best friend.

Any tips to make sure we stay friends?

We said, don't do it?

Okay?

Then follow up.

I ended up taking your advice and my family and friend's advice and had a tough conversation where my friend and I knew that we should not live together after graduating college.

She's not taking it well, but I think in the long run, this will be the best scenario.

It will she'll get over it, yeah, and she'll probably appreciate her well.

I think there's also this aspect of it too, And you and I have broached this goversation multiple times in depending on our scenarios.

If you can't be honest with your friend then they're really not that good of a friend.

And yes, if you're going to have to have uncomfortable conversations, that's what it is.

But it's coming from and if that friend this one, if she's taking it hard, that's because she obviously like cares about you, so she's going to be sensitive.

But ultimately it's like, if I'm her, I'm appreciating that you had you know, the like I don't know, the confidence, or you had the I don't know, that's not the right word, but you had the balls.

Why do I keep saying balls?

The balls are in your court, CHRISA.

I just appreciate the honesty, even if it's hurtful upfront, at least it's coming from a good place, and it's to actually save your friendship and not damage your friendship where you know you can't get it back.

So thank you for following up, Anonymous.

We also love a good follow up to the situation.

Let us know how it goes.

We'll just keep having this be a follow up for the end of time.

Oh yeah, keep following up a lot of questions.

Love you guys joined us on the Big Show.

Lots to talk about, including Aaron's I got a scart therapy session.

Oh Yeah.
