Speaker 1Here we go, sister.
It is week about to be Week eleven, Week ten.
We record our podcast.
Speaker 2I don't know why.
Speaker 1I feel like I have to say this every week on Monday, So still gonna have one game left of week ten, but when this bad Boy airs on Thursday, it is officially week eleven, and we're often running.
As they say, Christmas or Thanksgiving is the indicator of like who's who's in and who's out on.
Speaker 2The playoff picture.
Speaker 1But like this year, I swear to God as I'm sitting there yesterday doing game breaks and I'm watching Buffalo get beaten up by the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 2And two weeks ago we were.
Speaker 1Like Miami, like, is Mike McDaniel's gonna get Mike mcdanie's gonna get fired, like all these things, and then they sit there and they beat the Bills.
You never know what's gonna happen on any given Sunday.
The Seattle Seahawks to score thirty five nothing and they're still eight minutes left in the second quarter.
It was funny, you're hit that was really good.
Oh well, I don't know about that, but thank you.
Speaker 2I just like, wait a minute.
Speaker 1The Cardinals had just beat the Cowboys on Monday night, and then it was like, you never know what's going to happen.
Jonathan Taylor, anybody running for over shield Taylor exactly running for over two hundred yards, like two hundred.
Speaker 2And thirty yards or whatever it was.
I was like, God, damn, somebody get this guy an iv you.
Speaker 1Throwing for four having eight thousand records he broke and I was like.
Speaker 2No, shout out to nine.
Speaker 1Becoming the ninth player to throw for four hundred touch grounds seventeen years in the NFL and playing, I mean, just unbelievable.
That team looks great.
You, of course, so let's just dive into that.
You had the fantastic matchup rematch of Week five between the Rams and the Niners.
You had a wonderful sit down with our guy Matthew.
I love when there's two people that I know and love talking and it's like it's just it's just anyways.
It was a fantastic interview and I love you both.
So they're doing a second part this week too.
They I thought that I wouldn't say, you know that, like when you sit down with guys and they just give you great stuff and then you have to cut.
You know, our producer does a great job, Santos of editing it down.
You sit there with these guys, sometimes for ten minutes, sometimes for fifteen.
Matthew's great that he'll answer all the questions for twenty five.
So then our producer goes and picks, you know, three minutes worth, which sounds like a lot, but it's not.
Obviously, with Matthew playing so well with him and the MVP discussion and they're moving on to a huge matchup this week against Seattle.
Joel was like, we're putting this thing into a second part this week, so we're so excited.
I think he's going to be talking about Davonte's relationship with Davante, that working out.
That was one of the hits I wanted to get into our game.
And then DeVante came up with an oblique injury.
But we were talking about their connection and how it's finally clicked and everything, and matt I said, is this what you envisioned when you heard DeVante was signing with the team, And he goes, yeah, I saw him do this shit to me all the time when he played us, you know, when I was with Detroit.
So so good, and I think he's going to talk about his relationship with Puka and Sean and good night thirty seven years old.
I said, what do you think about when you hear that?
He said, how lucky I am to still be playing at this level, especially with everything he went through with the back.
Speaker 2People forget that.
Yeah, it was the beginning.
We were talking about that.
Speaker 1Stray and Howie and I were talking about that in the green room because we were watching the game and just thinking about the fact that here Matthew was with so many question marks before the start of season, got no time with DeVante or any guys.
You know that he hadn't played with yet because his back in question marks whether he was even going to play.
Now playing some of the best football of his career.
So look, the NFL, as we talk about, every single is in the great hands, so many great players, so many great storylines.
And then there's also the other side of it, which is the business and sucks with Brian Dable announced on Monday that they let him go as the head coach of the New York Giants.
And we always stress on this show, these are people's lives.
We understand it's a business, but there's also that side of the business which is not never any fun.
I hope Jackson Dart's Okay, he went out of the game with a concussion, so.
Speaker 2Yeah or tooth I thought I read too which god?
Or yeah?
So here we go.
Speaker 1We're headed into Week eleven.
Oh, I would like to actually go back for a second on my Week ten the Broncos game against the Raiders.
I love going back to Colorado.
I had posted about it, but it's just I love and I'm just like very nostalgic and like memory lane, and I think I'm kind of in this wait for it season of my life where I just never take anything for granted because I just I know how fragile these jobs and these positions and you know, all this stuff is.
So I went two years ago, we went back to Denver, but every time I go back there, I always go back to the cute little apartment that I had my first ever on air job, and I just go bend the night there.
Speaker 2I know, I just go back and like I walk to.
Speaker 1Like where because it's along this little river front thing, and I always go back there the same way that I go to cheesecake factory or that when I'm in Nordstroms or places I've worked or anything, and I remind myself elf, hey by the way you want me as the customer at cheesecake factory, because I'm gonna leave one hundred dollars tip every single time.
Because I'm always reminded that it's really important to remember where you came from and when you have all this, you know opportunities that we have now.
So anyways, I went by my old apartment and just reminded myself that I was like almost twenty years ago for my first on air job, and it's just a good way to sort of reset and recalibrate for my appreciation and gratitude.
I don't do a journal, but it's internal anyways, So love going back there.
Speaker 2The weather was awesome.
Speaker 1I got to see Sean, who I know I've talked about before but we used to work together.
Speaker 2At Fox and we love Sean.
Speaker 1And yeah, but watching that game, I was like, it's just any any week, you never know what's going to happen.
It's like that they expected, you know, a blowout against the Raiders, and the Raiders had some missed opportunities and easily could have won that game.
So it's going to be a wild game between the Chiefs and the Broncos coming up here next week and then also we see them again on Christmas.
So these divisional matchups that are going to have a big hand in the overall seatings of things.
So yeah, I enjoyed my time in Denver and what else.
Yeah, that was my week ten.
I was a hotel round in two.
It's goody.
It was terrible.
Speaker 2It wasn't.
Speaker 1It wasn't the one that we normally stay up and let me just tell you we won't be going back there.
Speaker 2Okay, it was.
Speaker 1It was one of those things where you know, when the game is over and you expect like, hey, there spent a lot of money at these hotels, so yeah, block out rooms and it's like to have the little you know, listen, little section open, uh huh.
And but no, we were shut down and I had a nice chat with the manager and said, hey look and then they made some adjustments, but we will be pivoting next time where we stay say no more?
Speaker 2So uh huh, say no more.
Yeah, let's go.
Speaker 1Talking about the deal though with like the you know, we come back to the hotel, we want to have a little fellowship and then yeah, you're shut down.
I don't and it's not about like let me let me just be clear about this.
It's not like we think that the hotel should just roll out the red carpet and a you know whatever.
But there's conversations that happen that if we're going to spend X amount of dollars on this block of rooms before the whole thing, and we're talking like thirty rooms upwards of thirty rooms, that's a lot of money that you guys are making off of, you know, productions, so you can carve out a little extra time on the back end.
Speaker 2But that didn't happen.
Speaker 1So no problem in a world of a weird solutions orientated around here, So what's the problem that's.
Speaker 2By the solution?
We just won't be going back there.
Speaker 3So next, I.
Speaker 1Got to tell you what happened to I said dinner where we were offline, but Jersey Grossie came out.
Speaker 2Rich gros shout out anyone that knows rich people trying to.
Speaker 1Take an advantage of sweet big group.
Wasn't happening on our watch.
Speaker 2Not on our watch.
Speaker 1Let me Dean photographed video the whole thing for for review and commentated on it.
You know what, the official where where his former soldiers although he wasn't really ever official was.
Speaker 2He ever an official.
I don't think so.
Speaker 1He was the boss of the officials, but like, I need to see Dean dress up as a referee for Halloween.
One year, we did our drawing, by the way, for Secret Santa.
He's very excited about who he got.
Speaker 2Really he revealed it.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, it to some of us.
I'm gonna need help with mine, what we're talking about.
So it's not so inside football in this case as supposed to inside baseball is Aaron and her crew always draws names for who they're going to give gifts to.
Fun secret Santa kind of thing.
So I suggested that to my Thursday night croup because I'm gonna tell you what I'm gonna tell you.
Speaker 2Who's a good guy.
Speaker 1Actually, I probably shouldn't have suggested this because Andrew Whitworth is the most generous gift giver.
Speaker 2They all are shirm fits.
They all are.
Speaker 1They are really, But if I had to power rank, wait is at the top of the list.
It's given like designer handbags, designers car like my man like really shows up.
But I think it's a lot of pressure every year to feel like you have to spend that kind of money.
And I don't want them to feel like they have to buy me anything.
So we're gonna do some sort of They don't know this yet, I'm gonna tell them, but we're going to do some sort of yeah drawing or secret stand a something or other and get you know, the whole group involved.
Speaker 2Which leads me to my trip to home goods today.
Okay, let me just tell you fa la la la la la la la la.
You're already follow la lying.
Yeah, my tree.
Speaker 1By the way, my tree was supposed to go up this weekend, but then I ended up being busy with god knows what and it didn't happen that true might go up tonight for all I know, I don't know perfect time.
I am so excited about this.
But here's the thing about home and this is your hell.
You are not a girl, and it's not about home goods.
It's just you don't like having to like a lot of stuff.
Right, she gets like, get overwhelmed.
I feel like I'm gonna pass out.
Speaker 2My girl does not like that.
Speaker 1She doesn't like to go into her home deepot, she doesn't like to go into home goods.
And it's not about the stores.
It's just something happens to my eyes they start fluttering.
They're fluttering my eyelashes because I get so excited when I walk into these stores.
I think to myself, how have I not been able to live without these little figurines or these cute glasses that I got with little hand etched little uh you know, Christmas balls on them.
And then I think to myself of all the gifts, and then I leave with like ten, such a great.
Speaker 2Deal for these coffee table books.
Speaker 1Coffee table books are so expensive, and I got an architectural digest one in there for thirty dollars, when you know on any other fucking site there are one hundred and twenty dollars.
People are out of control with the amount of money, you know, coffee table books.
So I got all these coffee table books, I got Christmas cards, I got so many things.
Speaker 2And so this is me.
To Steve.
I was like, hey, can you open the garage?
I got to drop stuff off.
Speaker 1He goes, oh, boy, because that means I'm bringing the car around home unloading the bags home goods to the Londo was yeah, I got the dogs toys.
Speaker 2I got the dog's treats.
Speaker 1And then I thought to myself, I don't really think I should be getting the treats here because Will it's not a strict diet, and God knows what's gonna happen with that.
Speaker 2So anyways, I just.
Speaker 1Love Homegods, And I think to myself as I'm leaving with the eight hundred dollars worth of shit that I didn't even need.
But then I think to myself, how did I live without all of this stuff?
And then I'm like, it's so exciting.
I'm I can't wait.
I'm gonna wrap the little presents up and I got cute little bows, and yeah, I'm into it.
I just walk in there and just think to myself, Heaven, I've arrived.
There's so many aisles, there's so many things.
There's no order to this situation.
I went at Halloween's.
We brought mac.
Speaker 2Hate.
I've never seen so many ghost salty tepper shakers.
I know, it's fantastic.
It's exciting.
Is it's exciting.
I got a side table that I didn't even know.
Speaker 1I stopped me a little side table, a base, the base was wood, the top was marble, and I and you know it's a good item when someone stops you in line and goes excuse me.
Speaker 2Where did you get that?
And I was like, oh, it's over there.
I was like, but it might be the last one.
Speaker 1And then it's like it's like a game because you feel like we used to go to garage sales as kids all the time with my grandma because we were poor, and my grandma was like, we dig through this stuff and you feel like you found a real treasure, and like that's how I feel at Home Goods or TJ Max or Ross or anything.
And I'm like, I think to myself, Oh my god, how lucky am I that I found this and no one else did?
The snacksy cell there.
I've never entered the brands.
I'm always so confused.
And there's so much hand wash, Isn't there a lot of hand washing?
Speaker 2There's a lot of popcorn.
There's a lot of popcorn and pretzels.
Speaker 1A lot of pretzels, so many a lot of hand wash.
But I'm gonna tell you what.
There is some what the kettle corn?
The kettle corn, there's fantastic.
And then I think to myself, how long has happened on the show?
Speaker 2But baby, anyways, tis the season.
Speaker 1Santa's about to throw up in this living room and I can't wait, that's my name.
Speaker 3Yep.
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 1So we started a Larry Davidism kind of segment to the show.
Speaker 2If you watch Seinfeld, if.
Speaker 1You watch Curb Your Enthusiasm, it's like it's just like every day, like, how would you explain it, Larry david Ism, It's just him to a t.
Larry Davidism are things that happened to everybody, but nobody really calls attention to it.
But obviously his genius of seinfeld Er curve or whatever was just putting a spotlight on everyday annoyances or occurrences that are so relatable because it's happened to all of us at one point, or it's happened and you don't even realize what's happening.
For example, that reservation one time when he went ballistic, when we were supposed to be sat great at the table at seven o'clock.
Our reservation was at seven, and then at seven fifteen, and there's still the people sitting at our table and he's getting real antsy with the hostess and he's like, that's our table, and it's like, what's that time frame between when they can keep sitting at our table and when you have to tell him to leave.
Anyways, seven thirty rolled around and my man was not happy, and he marched right over to that table and he said, get up, Get up, because at that point the check had.
Speaker 2Already been signed.
They're just loitering.
Speaker 1They're lingering around at the table that's supposed to be our at seven.
So anyways, that's an example.
So we have now started Larry davidism on this podcast.
When we have it happened in your case this week it was what it.
Speaker 2Was being Gordon biersched.
Speaker 1So I'll explain if we have a solid, Hey, we can make a meal out of fifteen minutes.
If we had this week, we had a solid maybe our fifteen at.
Speaker 2The airport, we're all changed.
It is.
Speaker 1We can get a meal, we can watch the start of Sunday night, we can watch whatever game is on.
We were pumped to two beverages and some appys.
So in San Jose there really wasn't much else in the terminal that we're in except for Gordon Beers.
Gotta be honest, it's a fine stop.
It does the trick.
The only reason why we enjoyed going was this lovely woman named Ellen.
If you ever experienced the San Jose Airport and Gordon Beer.
She's the one with the Florida Panthers lanyard and the Philadelphia Flyers hat.
Don't care why those two times?
Yeah, she's great.
So we were going through security and we noticed Gordon Biers.
But there was a brand new Mikasa.
Mikasa certainly been open.
That's what I said.
Going through, I said, Kevin goes, are we going to go?
Mikasa soukrass?
So let's go.
Speaker 2We got an hour fifteen?
What could go wrong?
I'll tell you what went wrong.
We went.
We sat there.
Speaker 1They had the prickly pair of margarita.
I had a regular one.
We were having a great time.
Speaker 2An order.
Speaker 1Yeah, I'm not in I'm not into a fruity one.
All of a sudden, well we did say this, Oh my god, do you think Gordon Beers will be upset with us?
And it was like, no, no, no, we're just trying this out.
Mikasa is new.
We're just giving it a whirl.
Anyone from our people because we've been going to Gordon Biers for like since the forty nine ers had been good.
I mean that was our stop.
We were doing this stuff three times a year.
Speaker 2You know they know us.
Okay.
Speaker 1All of a sudden Ellen finds us and says, oh, well, I know these margaritas aren't as good as mine.
Speaker 2Carissa.
Speaker 1It was like I had been caught having an affair.
Oh full mind an affair.
Speaker 2Kevin got so uncomfortable he started talking to someone else.
He goes Lindsey Ferry.
Speaker 1There she is, come to our table, and I'm like, it was like we had been caught.
Speaker 2She came out.
Speaker 1Ellen walked over from Gordon bear.
Did she knew we were going to be there because we did the game?
She was waiting.
Oh.
Speaker 2She walked over to me Casa and my asses.
Speaker 1And said, so's margaritas aren't as good as mine?
And I said, Ellen, they're not.
We love you were just trying out.
Speaker 2This is incredible.
It was and everyone was like, we felt like we had been caught.
Where is your soil?
Aids yeah, oh my god?
Yeah?
So did you get up?
And she let beer?
She left.
Speaker 1One of her co workers stopped by and said she is not happy with you guys.
She heard you guys are here and she is pissed.
This is incredible.
First of all, Ellen deserves a raise, So I love her.
Speaker 2Ellen right, my girl.
Speaker 1Mister Gordon, you need to make sure Ellen it's a raise for the employee of the month, because she will find you if you are not oiled to the restaurant.
And the fact that she was like, oh yeah, my people here, because right.
Speaker 2I'm gonna sniff them out.
Speaker 1Wow, she sniffed her way to me, Cassa and found us sitting right there.
Speaker 2That's great.
That came right good.
I love all the boys went.
Is this going on the podcast?
Oh yeah, we got Gordon Biers.
Speaker 1Oh my god, incredible.
Well I know where I'm going to be stopping by.
Well, we don't know, damn it.
We're not in We're not in Santa Clara.
We're in Seattle for that Thursday night San Francisco Seattle game.
Oh but I'll tell you I know that airport very well because I used to work for Yahoo Sports and I would get I would go up to Sunny Valil once a week every Wednesday.
And I'm gonna tell you what, that San Jose.
San Jose Airport is great because you're in and out of that TSA and I have no problem.
Speaker 2They're great.
They like five minutes.
Speaker 1Yeah, but you're right, there's limited options so I can see where Ellen would be peeved because she said, where are my people?
Speaker 2That's fantastic.
I was waiting for you.
It's too good.
Speaker 1Speaking of restaurants, so I was at nateon Owl's, which is apparently some incredible landmark diner in Beverly Hills that a friend of mine was like, Hey, let's meet for breakfast.
I am not a hote I'm not a hotel person either.
I'm not a hotel restaurant connoisseur like you are at all.
I'm always like hotel yes, okay.
So restaurants, like when people come to town in LA, they're where should I go to eat?
Speaker 2I have no idea, literally no idea.
I order food.
Speaker 1Yeah, but there's like one restaurant I could suggest, which would be that.
So anyway, so she's like, let's meet at nate Now's in Beverly Hills, great que old diner again been there forever, Hollywood staple.

She twirls through, she sings her song and then the people come around, you know with the old sign the waiver here kind of a thing.
Speaker 2But I loved it.
Speaker 1I loved everything about it, and I was like, only in Los Angeles can you be in the middle of breakfast at a random diner and then up in a Megan Trainer video And you know what, Megan Trainer good for you?
Speaker 2You know what the song's called.
Speaker 1I don't know if this is the actual title, but part of the chorus goes and I don't care.
Speaker 2It's coming out this week.
I can't wait to share it with you guys.
Speaker 1But yeah, I saw she was in the pools or something.
Rick Caruso posted it on ig either at the Grove or something where she's probably just bouncing around to different hotspots and hotspots in LA we're not and so so I'm walking out of the restaurant.
She's gone at this point, couldn't be cute or the whole thing.
I now am walking to my car.
She's standing on the corner of like Rodeo Drive in Beverly or whatever, and a tmz van comes across and she's shooting the video and everybody who's like in the tmz vand's like, oh my god.
You know, it's like they bought this like ticket to some you know, go check out Hollywood celebrity.
Speaker 2Sidings, and then Megan Trainer's doing a video on the corner.
I said, a day, welcome to Hollywood.
What's your name?
Speaker 1It was a pretty woman.
All roads lead back to pretty women.
Oh no, we're from Orlando.
That's how I felt like being some of the you know people that were in the TMZ van.
Speaker 2But yeah, it was a great Tuesday.
Speaker 1I got a bagel and appeared in the Megan Trainer video and I don't care talk to me about a bagel and locks so into sushi?
Speaker 2What is this salmon taste?
Speaker 3Like?
Speaker 2I don't know.
Speaker 1If I could do that, it would taste the same as it would in the salmon roll.
It's just the lock.
It's just like I mean, I don't know the Actually what does lock mean?
Speaker 2Sushi?
Speaker 1Like locks, lox like salmon locks?
That part I don't know.
But like I always thought like, oh, it's raw fish.
But I guess it's the kind of fish that.
Speaker 2You can eat.
Speaker 1Obviously I'm not a sushi expert, but it's but it tastes like a sushi roll, like without the chace, right.
But I always like to put a little lemon because I need to cut down that fish taste a little bit, so the lemon mitigates the fish taste.
Put that with some cream, cheese, a bagel.
I'm not into the caper move, but like a little tomato.
Speaker 2Yeah, I lovegel.
Speaker 1Never outs really I like salmon, my god, oh then you would I love this?
Oh yeah yeah, yeah, we got to order this next time.
Okay, Yeah, salmon in locks so cute.

Speaker 1Okay, yeah, so Harry, they're not healthy.
Speaker 2Well that's so exciting.
Speaker 1Megan Trainer, I really like her commercial with Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 2Give it up for Patrick exactly he does sports.
Speaker 1She's so funny.
It's very funny.
I can't wait for this song because you'll appreciate the words.
It's basically like she talks about it.
She's like, I was too fat, and then I was too skinny, and now people are saying I'm too skinny, but I don't care.
Speaker 2Basically like anything.
Speaker 1People have said about her in her life, She's like, I still don't give a shit, which you know.
Speaker 2I'm all about bring it on, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 1Speaking of bringing it on, Hey, right, you had the in laws in town?
Speaker 2Oh I did?
Yeah?
Yeah, I was like, what are we bringing on?
The movie so good?
Speaker 1I think the one thing about in laws though, and my parents is listen, my kid doesn't sit there like a big blob anymore.
Like he's got a personality, and yeah, disciplining him.
He had a little bit of an attitude in the card today because he's it's November tenth and he still wants to listen to making Mouse Halloween.
It's like, no, Halloween really did a number on him.
He loves Halloween, man, Yeah, it really scarred him.
So yeah, no, it's it's like a little bit of pressure when you have your relatives in town because you're you don't want them walking away being like that kid's an asshole, you know, right.
Speaker 2So anyways, but it was your kid.
Speaker 1It's never it's so nice to have a buffer there where it's like, oh, go to Grandpa.
Grandpa's gonna brush his teeth.
You should brush your teeth.
Grandpa likes washing his hands, so you should wash your hands.
Like you just basically pawn you off your relatives or Auntie Chrissa when she comes.
Speaker 2So, yeah, there you go.
I love that.
It's so cute.
What else?
Speaker 1Oh, I got a Willis update?
Thank you guys for asking my sweet little Willis.
I cried the other day because so Willis my twelve year old dog who, prior to eating something random, was in perfect health, then had kidney situation because he ate something that was bad.
Was in the emergency vet for a week.
I didn't think it was going to end well.
And it's still touch and go.
Sweet Steve is being a great vet puts on the lab jacket consistently every time he gives him an ivy.
He puts in your lab jacket and his stethoscope.
And my, my guy, Steve has been doing an incredible job with Willis.
He's also and this is how I feel like if we had a kid.
I'm like, look, Willis needs to eat right, Like he's really picky back, barely eating anything.
So I'm like, fuck it, I'm like, you want some turkey, Let's give him some turkey.
Speaker 2Like She's like, that is not permitted.
The rules say this.
Speaker 1Steve is very much by the book, not me.
I'm slippy treats on the side.
No I'm like this, I'm like, Willis here, I'm giving him treats.
And if Steve knew that, he would lose his mind because he is like so regiment about stuff and I'm like, dude, the dog's like, hey, just give me somebody eat.
I don't want to eat this bland food.
So anyways, Steve Is, I can only imagine what he would be like as a dad.
I mean, this would be crazy.
He'd be like, no, no, the doctor said this, and I'd be like, We're fine.
Speaker 2Anyways, So Willis.
Speaker 1Is very very slowly but hopefully getting better.
But this was a massive, massive moment.
So I came home the other night from the birthday party thing I was at.
I go upstairs and they were.
They were on a walk, which takes Willis a long time to go on a walk now because he walks really slowly.
But like, okay, got it.
So I walk in the house.
They're not there.
I'm like, oh, they're on a walk.
I go upstairs.
Speaker 2I take a.
Speaker 1Shower, I'm throwing on my pajamas, and all of a sudden, I hear this little click click click click, And that's always the sound of Willis's little feet, like on the hardwood floor.
Willis, You guys, up until this accident, you know, incident situation, he follows me around everywhere.
If I take a shower, he's outside the door.
If I'm in my room, he's in the room.
He follows me everywhere.
So I haven't heard the click click click sound over the last for over, you know, two and a half weeks now, because he can't go up the stairs because he doesn't have any energy to do it.
And I'm like, wait, is that Daisy?
What she doing up here around the corner?
Willis's head popped around the corner, and I was started.
I started bawling.
Speaker 2I'm like, oh, oh my god.
He came up the stairs.
Speaker 1And then I thought Steve had like brought him up the stairs.
Steve is nowhere to be found.
Willis came up the stairs.
It was like a massive moment from me because I was like, oh, good, Like you're not gonna die, Like I swear to god, you guys, this was like an Aaron you know better than anyone because I cried to you about it.
Speaker 2I can't lose this dog.
Speaker 1And I'm very aware that dogs are going to die before we do.
And my dad was like you're a massachist because you know you love these animals that are going to die before you.
But I'm like, you can't die yet, Like I need you, I need this.
This dog has been through everything with me and I'm just not ready to let him go.
I mean, whoever is So it was a big moment.
And again the progress is slow, but that was a massive thing for me to have him come up the stairs.
And I've just been sleeping downstairs with Willis every single night, right by his bed and steeps like you should probably.
Speaker 2Get in the bed.
Speaker 1I'm like, no, I want to lay on the floor with him because I just love him so much.
So anyways, hopefully he's on the mend and that's a sign a sign of good things to come.
Speaker 2So thank you guys for caring about as we will do.
And that makes sense.
Why your next and hurting?
Speaker 1Oh yeah, I'm sure because I don't care.
I'm just like to I need to just be by my Willis at all times.
So any who, All right, Well, where are you headed this week?
Speaker 2I don't even know.

Speaker 1Bears at Minnesota.
Oh I immediately think about the hotel.
Okay, I know where you stay there.
You like that that you've trained me well or I'm like, okay, she'll like that.

Yes, shout out to all.
I know this will air on Thursday and Veterans Day is on Tuesday.
But Fox does an incredible, incredible Veterans Station show.
It was abbreviated this year only in terms of the size and location because of the government shutdown, so we.
Speaker 2Had it on the lot at Fox.
Speaker 1Usually we go to a military base and it's like some of our favorite shows to do.
But it is such an honor to host members of the that are currently serving in branches of government and also the veterans that were there yesterday that have served.
It is so special we get to do what we do because people like that have sacrificed their lives, their time, their energy, their jobs and everything for us to have those freedom.
So it's really fun too because you know, like, look, we take for granted and I not take for granted, but we just sort of like, oh, you know, we're on TV.
Whatever, it's a big deal.
Like, look, I was excited to be an a Megan Trainer video.
So it's like everybody that gets to be there on the show that really gets highlighted.

Speaker 2They're doing this for all of you.
I know exactly, thanks Gronk.
Speaker 1Mickey Mouse just propelled down the side of a building.
But yeah, it was awesome and I love, love love that Fox always highlights the veterans and thank you guys.
My grandparents both serve, my sister served in the Coast Guard, and I never take for granted how incredible those individuals are that sacrifice the ultimate sacrifice for us.
So thank you and happy belated, which will be Veterance Day to everybody listening to this show.

Speaker 2So that was really.
Speaker 1Really I found a very special sect little coming into or whatever.
Yeah, so a lot of work goes into those shows and it's not just something that happened.
Speaker 2So element, Yeah, that's what I was looking for.
Good element there.
Hey, what did you guys have?
Speaker 1The helium element?

Reading the tweets, I loved it, which first of all, I'm like, these aren't mean enough.
I'm like, I know there's meaner tweets out there, so in our post game, because let's be honest sometimes, and I mean, look, Sean was the first to admit and Bo Nick's were the first to admit that game was shitty.
That was a shitty game.
Both teams did not play their best football.
And so in post game we're like, it's a ten to six final.
And so we had a segment where we read which were supposed to be mean tweets with Helium.
We just like took you know, Helium.
