Dude, guess what guests who I kind of get to model for.

Who Nate, It's she does all the really cool jackets for all like the Wild Christian Christian check.

Yeah, so she her her company off brand, like her designer brand.

She is going to the W and so I'm gonna be one.

Of the first W players to rock her style in Tomorrow's In Tomorrow's tunnel fit.

You worrying Freaklinas it's West and Sophie Show Me Pod at five.

We've had so many things to like jump right into for all these episodes, and this one I want to celebrate.

If we made it through our first episode without you getting fined, well.

Yeah, I would like to know too, But I have had surgery and I've been on pain killers, so I actually haven't even got to see my GM and she's the one the one who pulls me aside.

So it is still up in the air if I got fined or not.

What happened?

Yeah, did you see me?

I hold up with two out of fork.

It's it's the Oxy talking.

I was gonna ask, what do they have you on?

Are you part of?

Honestly, that's been a freaking ship show now listen to this.

So I react so weird to like payments.

And so I've had three surgeries and my mets have always been different because I just like I said, I reacted here to them.

And so I was on, uh, what was I on?

Wh It starts with an h, I'm blinking hydro hydra hydro hydros.

Yes, yeah, we'll just go thin game.

That was hydros.

I was on.

Hydro's was not working.

I could feel like every little like cut and incision they did on my knee.

And so then I got to oxy and you're only supposed to take one, but like again, I've got like a low tolerance to it, and so I had to take like two and a half and then I was finally feeling good.

So so let's hop into the surgery.

How are you feeling?

How was it?

Everything smooth?

Honestly real good, Like they went in there and everything.

Oh, listen to this.

They said, for my age and for like what I do for a living, that my knees are looking real nice.

Fuck, yeah, that's what he said.

That is nice.

That's reassuring to hear after a knee injury.

Bob, have you started pt a little bit?

I've been a little bit of rehab, lots of icing, just trying to like get extension because I guess with this knee surgery, I thought it'd be like the bending is what would be the first, but it's actually getting it straight.

So a lot of people who get it, they have like a little curb in their knee because they can't straighten the leg.

So I've been really trying to work on getting my legs straight.

But I've kind of taken up being like you and we should totally do this because I think people love.

This is I've been doing.

I think I'm going to.

Start doing like food reviews because I'm able to do that.

Like all I'm doing is sitting around and eating, and like you do that quite a bit, and I people tend to like that stuff, and so I think you just start doing that.

I don't know if you're still taking your drugs, but have fun, dude, pop a fucking whatever and then just like eat a pizza, record yourself.

Well I've been I've been so bad because I this is bad.

Since I've had surgery.

I had Burger King, I've had a box of donuts and I went to Texas Roadhouse.

It's the last time you've heard of Texas Roadhouse.

Do people talk about their rolls all the time, like people talk about the Texas Roadhouse rolls every day.

They're funny.

Boy, Wait, I do want to tell you because as someone who had like life altering leg surgery, I the most I ever wait in college was two fifteen my sophomore year.

It was a good to fifteen after I broke my leg my junior year.

It was a bad tow fifteen because I the only thing I had to like look forward to every day was because I didn't leave the house like a few weeks that they had to wait for the swelling to go down.

Yeah, before I could like get surgery or PTA, And it was like what movie was I gonna watch?

And what like pizza toppings was I going to get for the day?

And I just ate because I had nothing else to do and nothing to like make me happy.

So I ate so much post surgery, Yeah before I could pete and I got fucking chubby bra And well that's.

Okay, I should actually wait myself.

I was at i'm at before surgery.

I was at one fifty seven.

But I will say I need to start taking laxatives.

I was just gonna say, painkillers are going to blow you up, because it's impossible.

I've been literally just inhaling food and nothing's come out.

Not to be crazy, but I'm pretty sure the reason Elvis, one of the reasons Elvis was so sick at the end of his life was because he was just crushing painkillers and so boted because he could never take dumps.

I've never had that issue, but I'm starting to, and then it's not great.

Yeah.

I feel like when you after you have surgery that a part of your prescription is like laxatives.

Sometimes they'll like throw them in there because you they should or at least.

Like stool softmers, like you should do something because yeah, let me tell you.

But for you, thank you.

I'll send you a text that'll be an update next week.

Spot I'll be like, so, I don't have an.

Update and I'll probably be back in hospital.

Yeah, that's true.

What is it the the spurt?

What is it called the.

Andema?

Yeah, that's always fun right now.

Anyway, you had a busy weekend.

I feel like a lot of like fun updates.

Oh oh dude, motherfuck, it fucking rained and we couldn't do it.

They can't they cancel it?

It was like, yes, it was to be on a rooftop and it got canceled, so we like went downstairs and played like some little games.

I don't know.

I mean, it was cute deal, but don't be mad at me.

But like I feel like in the Midwest if it rains like that makes the more fun theer Are people too bougie to get their hair wet or what's going on?

Just because it was like a corporate thing that I don't think that they were going to like make everyone like go play in the rain and like tennis shoes.

Maybe it's because I designed a waiver before I got.

There, so they didn't want Google to get hurt.

I guess which, whatever, it's fine.

I mean, that's valid.

I agree with that.

Tell us about the US Open.

No, yes, Oh my gosh, that's so many questions.

It's the US Open is a major sporting event.

It's one of New York's probably like more iconic sporting events.

I'm working on appreciating this sport.

I think I watching tennis, you can tell they're like incredible athletes.

I just the country club sports of it all, like where you're quiet and like it feels so and like everyone's stressed up.

I'm working to get there to like really appreciate it and follow it.

But if we're being totally honest, the US opened in New York.

I mean I feel like it's kind of a social event, to be totally honest.

Okay, that was that was my question.

I was like, do people really go there to watch and appreciate tennis or like is it more of you get to go and see why people are wearing you get to go meet fun people like who did you meet?

Did you get to meet?

Now?

So a lot of people I knew, but okay, a good tee up.

So okay, I'm not obviously I don't watch housewives okay, but a lot of people do.

Uh, And I've been like meeting them throughout this the last few years, and like I just feel like there couldn't be much more like a polar opposite like figure than like kind of everything I stand for is like beer, football and like boob wearing boots and then like these housewives are like so rich and like pretty and like just like go on makingations every day.

Like I don't know, I just think it's so fun for me to meet them and like get to know them and okay, so do you know who?

Have you heard of Merretriff Marks?

Do you know who this is?

I do?

Okay, did you let her?

Yeah?

So she was with us.

Beautiful woman, very cool.

Also she started she's like a DJ now, but I was like, she's from Chicago and we started talking about I was like I love to ask, like, so are you the Cubs or white socks?

Like just a classic little Chicago question.

She was like, you know what, I'm not like a super diehard team sports lady, except I'm so into the w NBA right now.

This sounds like fake swear to god.

She's like, I love a WNBA and I go, okay, not to like make this about me, but it dropped a WNBA podcast like four weeks ago.

She goes shut up like showing b like she was so hype, just the last person you'd think in a in the US Open suite.

He was going to be like, I need to see your WNBA podcast, and I show her and I was like, do you know who Sophie cunning Him is?

And she goes yeah, like that girl fucking rocks, like she's so sick.

And I was like you're coming on the podcast.

You're coming on the podcast, Maridath.

We totally should.

She was like, if Bravo's approved it, like, let's do it.

Wait, so this might be dumb on my end, but our All Housewives Bravo Yes.

Yeah.

Oh so there's cities, so it's city based.

So like, no, I know, I knew that.

I just for I didn't know that Brabo was the one that did all that.

I don't know what the first one was.

I think it was like Beverly Hills maybe, but yeah, dude, they're like, ions.

Can we please get her on the show.

I'm not even lying no, And I think you're like you and I would have So we're gonna have like a lot of we know, a lot of sports people, you and I.

Yeah, and we'll have a lot of sports guests, but like to kick it off with a house so I would be so fun and she's down.

We just got like get it, get it going.

Oh I love that.

I love all she knows.

Do you think that she could help me become a house In my opinion, on one of those shows, Dan Dream Married.

To be one of them, I would imagine that you probably Originally the format was you have to be married, but I know there are a lot of people who are not.

I'm pretty sure.

Well well not a lot, but I just know, like there's like real houses of New York had a girl I know who was like not married, So maybe you don't.

I don't know, but it's standard to be married.

Though, well yeah, wait, what did you wear.

To the US Open?

So we did, so I went with Amazon and they like dressed up nice.

Tennis is just very like it's like loose fitting summary colors.

So it's a lot of white.

Like all the ladies who are like that's a lot of like pretty dresses, and the guys it's like, you don't.

It doesn't have to be like tucked in.

It's like white linen pants.

Like I had a like a yea, like a swaggy kind.

Of like a almost like a the Hampton type by right.

Yea, honestly honestly yes, but like comfortable and next summary I did that and then yeah, it was just a fun little day.

You take the bus out and just like wash some tennis.

But I do know some people that were there because they are like tennis heads and know what's going on.

For people who like i'd never been, and I think a lot of people just see it on TV, Like I want to go, but really can't because during the season.

But like who, like who's there?

Like what famous people are there?

And like is the food good?

Like are their drinks everywhere?

Like give me the give me the setup, give me the wait.

I wish we could, so the talk of the town.

They have these drinks called, uh, it's called it honey Deuce, so obviously it's like honey new and then duce is like a fucking tennis word, uh supposedly.

Also, I was in the suite with Kyle last night.

He's like, guys, I have fun facts, like I need to tell you, like just yelling.

Oh god.

He he said that the revenue that they make from this one drink.

So also it picture it's like a it's like a little like summertime little cocktail.

But then they say the toothpick is like three perfectly circled melons so that they look like tennis balls, And that goes that goesn't the drink?

Imagine having that job.

That would suck ass.

Cut the freaking melon into a circle.

I bet it's like a spoon or something.

Yeah, go a little the revenue that they make from these drinks, which obviously very overpriced.

Uh, it's enough to pay the prize money for the men's and women's champion of the US Open.

You're lying.

I swear to God.

I like, let's school it.

Honestly, how much is it for drink?

Dude?

I think it's a twenty most.

The US Open sort of record twelve point eight million dollars worth of its signature Honeyduice cocktail in twenty twenty four.

Why how with sales projected to reach over ten million dollars for the tournament and continually to grow.

Can we like make our own drink and sell it if people are making ten million, you have me fucked up.

We've drinken enough that we can come over with their own.

It's Greg Goose vodka, lemonade, rasp Pu liquor, and then the melon balls.

Dude, low key sounds amazing.

It's very summary.

I would pay probably twenty three bucks for that.

Yeah, I honestly, Well.

We can make it a little bit more white trash and maybe not use Greg Goose and maybe some Teto's or some kettle.

Could be Yeah, we could.

We could sell ours on the side.

What in what what was the cheapest like booze that people drank when you were like a freshman in college.

Do you remember, oh, like vodka sameir andof.

You blue dude?

There was this There was a there was a vodka in Montana called Nikolai and they sold it in like the pint was plastic, Like it wasn't even glass.

Did you do you ever drink mad Dog?

No?

What is that?

Why don't you go to your local the core store and see if they have it?

Okay, but wait, hold on, so what was there like to eat there?

Like is the food boogie?

Like?

Is everything bougie at the US Open?

It looks like it.

I just have never been, so I don't know.

It definitely is.

We were in a suite, so it was all very like for us, but I mean like it was, yeah, it was like sushi and lobster rolls.

It was Wait, was it a Bravo suite or was it just a No?

Amazon just took a bunch of like people and we like all bust out there together.

It was actually it was really fun.

Did you see the dude who crash out last night and like yelled at the the line judge.

I ran on another planet, So yeah, that's right.

I don't I haven't really been keeping up.

There was this guy he's like if I say his name, it'll be it's like Daniel, I don't know.

People are gonna me Medvedev whatever.

When is the US Open?

Like when is the winner announced?

Like when's the championship game?

Sophy?

If I'm gonna keep if I'm gonna be so honest with you, I just kind of the US opens one of those things.

I just I just show up.

I don't know what the fuck's going on.

I think a lot of people just show up to this one.

Yeah, it's more for like the vibes and who you're gonna be with type five?

Same with like I mean, I feel like that's the thing with a lot of sporting events.

Like the reason I think that the Super Bowl is kind of like is it's so fucking corporate and like it's not y.

I mean, there are there are clearly fans, but it's like such a like business the influencer celebrity event where like, hate to say it, but championships with series so like World Series, NBA finals that are at like home stadiums are so sick because it's a home stadium.

It's like fans who go to every game and you just get a little bit more of that like purity that you don't get from like a one off event.

Honestly, I hear that about everyone who attends the Super Bowl, and like the JESU has been in it, you know, because but even the people there, they're like, I'd much rather stay at home and watch it with all my friends and stuff, because when you get there, everyone makes it look like it's way more fun and stuff than it really is.

So I just don't.

I just it's hard for me to get behind that type of stuff.

AFC Championship is like that Arrowhead is the coolest like event I've ever been to, and we'll always go to because it's like just so magical.

Do you know what I'm saying?

Though, Like when when people are authentic, like the the environment is authentic, that shit is the most fun.

I hate like all the fake fluff shit.

I just I can't get behind that for some reason.

How many do y'all do?

How many neutral site games have you played?

Like I know you did the thing in Iowa where there was like so random.

I actually can't believe that you guys did.

That shit, Well that's like preseason and like in Caitlin like that that it was random, but it made sense too because you're still going to bring a crowd, but the w doesn't do neutral sites.

Like yeah, but name a sport that has played a professional sport that's played it there at someone's alma mater, Like that's never happened before.

That's crazy.

No, but it's.

Becoming more of a thing, like they did it for Angel Rees at LSU.

I think they I think they'll continue to do it because it honestly, especially if you're if there's a w NBA team that's not close by those universities, it's going to draw fans, and so I think it's actually really smart, especially if they have a following, like I think that.

I think it's genius.

I have no I think it's fun kind of going back to the college stadium and having those girls kind of get to be a part of it too, that like the the girls who are actually a part of the team currently, And so I don't know, I think that's a smart move by the WNBA.

Look at me supporting it.

No, fuck yeah, it's like whatever reverse fine is for them.

To give me my money back because I said something.

Yeah, but I mean w n B A, I'm a I'm a proud supporter, and but it's just some of their stuff.

This doesn't make sense to me.

Yeah, but I remember seeing you guys play at in Io City and I was like, it's fact, it's super cool.

So much cloud dude, I know, speaking of w WE, just you want to get into it because.

I have some things to say to get off my chest.

Yeah, so.

We Indiana Fever have played Minnesota back to back and they're like really fucking good, like they are.

They are a hot team right now and they're doing so so good.

But to me, Minnesota's offense is I know people have opinions about Cheryl who's that's their head coach, but she is a genius when it comes to freaking being and head coach.

Like their offense smatically, uh, like everything, how they put on the floor, how she manages like it's bench.

Yes, like how they have stacked the team and like it is a little bit more old school, but like I I that's my type of vibe.

I think like they run a motion offense.

Everyone on their floor can shoot, everyone cuts, everyone passes, the ball.

They make this simple pass and like the ball movement that they have is ridiculous, like they are they are stacked and actually oh uh, Nafisa Collier she was lived in jeff City for a little bit and then she moved to Saint Louis.

So I played against yeah, since like sixth seventh grade.

High school she go to.

She went to Incarnate Word.

I know, Incarnate Words.

Nice.

Yeah, So she spent a year jeff City, I think her freshman year, and then she they moved to Saint Louis for her to be a part of Incarnate Word, which is like a stacked Uh.

When we won state?

What high school you did?

You?

I won four times so much time.

That's so fucking crazy.

I so much can't believe that.

I guess your first two years then when I would have been there, because wasn't one of them Incarnate.

Word, Yeah, I think so she wasn't on She wasn't on the team at the time.

I think that was my freshman year.

But I Fisa is good like she is.

She's probably the best player.

In our league.

She's a hell of a player, damn.

Yeah, like as every thing in her bag.

But she also.

You go now you're good.

I was gonna sayould you you to credit like like high in ball movement to a head coach rather than just like a rock star team chemistry.

Yeah, well I think that's yeah.

I think since Fee has been there, so Maya Moore, the legend of our game used to be there, and then like they kind of went through a little little bit of a slump and then they draftedt Fisa and Fie.

I'm not kidding, Like she she's a hell of a player, Like she's Defensive Player of the Year last year.

I'm pretty sure she can guard one through five and then she can shoot like six to two.

But she she's long and she's strong like she is, she's a hello player.

She's fun to watch, hard to play against, but she's fun to watch.

But I would say that the teams that you find or see successful in our league there everyone on everyone on the floor can score, and it's mainly shooters and or they can get to the rim or cutters.

But it's really like the ball movement, like when you have a motion offense that everyone can cut, everybody can pass, everyone can dribble and handle the ball like that is freaking hard to guard.

In Minnesota has that like that's.

Would you would you say?

I mean, I feel like that kind of is parallel to the way the NBA is of all their bigs are shooting the ball.

Well, yeah, like you don't really see a lot of standard post players anymore, and if you do, they're really only in for a short period of time because normally typically they can't handle the pace of the game or like if they can't shoot the ball, then like it allows defenses to help on other stronger players offensively, or like they're in a drop position, so they're like the air defenses in the paint, which is never good, especially if you have shooters coming off screens, because that's easier for them to get a shot.

Also, it just makes it difficult.

You don't really see a lot of most players anymore.

Do you What when do you think that that trend started?

Like I think a lot of people would say that the NBA that's started when like obviously Steph made the three point like the shot a fucking cheek code, and I mean Kaitlin did that too, but she's like very very new.

But it's interesting to see similarities between both leagues.

I feel like, and certainly the value of the three point shot has grown and the like less of a need for like bigs.

Yeah.

Is it's so interesting how they kind of have like evaulved In, like very parallel yeah manners.

I think that when you first saw that in our game, I would say with like Candice Parker, like she was kind of the first like a point forward.

I would say, like, she's what six four sixty five, she can handle the ball, she can shoot it.

But also if you try to put a little guard on her, she's gonna take you to the post.

And I think that's kind of where you saw the adjustment is on the NBA side and WBA side.

It's like these kids from a young age, regardless of how tall or how big they were going to be, they started doing ball handling, they started learning how to fast, they started doing more guard work than just typical post moves, and so like that, think about it.

That's hard to guard because if you have a small on you, you're just going to go.

Post them up.

But if you have a big on you and you're on the perimeter, you're either going to shoot or drive right bline.

Specifically, they're going to be slower.

So it just makes it a.

I know, my kids are going to be frigging guards, Like they are going to learn how to be guards regardless of about how big they are.

Okay that is so that's fascinating.

But anyways, Minnesota in the fever yep, do you joy date you know what?

We are going through it, but we are fighting like they're never one in the league right now and they are.

Our team has fought, like really lost by I don't know what it was last night.

I can't remember the score, but we kept it within like ten or eleven throughout the whole game.

And for us to have the roster we do, that's.

Pretty freaking good.

What's it been like watching your roster just kind of get blown up and like you're just kind of trying to figure shit out from scratch, Like I mean, it's frustrating.

But at the same time, I sports are weird because like I know, it sucks, but in the big picture because it's you know, the season is not going we don't like but like, yeah, there's weird, like poetry and beauty and like people are hurt, like other people have to like step up.

We like, you know, believes in us.

I just like watching it kind of play out and see who can rise up in like I mean, other people getting opportunities, like there are silver linings and everything, but your team is just we're going going through.

And I think that what you had to say all that is like so valid and real, and I think you've definitely felt that when when you were playing.

I also think that like with that, it's funny because any the whole season as a whole, like you just have to peak at the right time, right, Like that that's what it is.

And so you see teams early in this season, oh, we didn't know they were going to be good.

Well maybe they peaked too soon, or the teams that are typically good they were going through it in the beginning and now they're starting to peak, like Vegas.

Atlanta has always been good all season long and they're going to be a hell of a team.

But Vegas, I mean they've won their pass like ten games, but they struggled really bad at the beginning of season.

But they're starting to peak at the right time.

But I think when you have a situation like this where it's just you have a new roster literally every five days, it's like you want to peak.

But at this point you're just trying to catch some type of rhythm.

You're trying to get chemistry.

Like we just brought in a girl who was training in Turkey, right, like she's been in the W, but she hasn't been the W in a couple of years.

And so it's just like at some point and this is me just being real, it's like you can you can keep saying, oh, you know, it's just part of the game, it's just professional, but like you can't at the end of the day.

It's hard to catch a rhythm and chemistry when you only have two days together, Like yeah, you know what I mean, especially when you're going against the best athletes in the entire world, Like that, shit's fricking hard.

What to you is the right time to peak and how does that happen?

Like teen chemistry?

Well I know it's everything, but yeah, no from your lens, like when is the right time to peak?

And how I think you.

Want to start peaking and you want to start really catching like chemistry and rhythm after all start break or maybe like a game or two before all start break, because I think that like the team has to go through adversity, like you have to know how to handle tough situations.

You have to learn how to lose bad and learn from it.

Like that's just a part of the season.

That's part of the highs and lows.

But I think you definitely want to start peaking and trending in the right direction, like right after All Star break, because that's when that's when you have that momentum going.

And so I think we actually were doing that, like we were, we were doing well before All Start break and right after, but then man, like the injury bug just fucking came in and killed us all.

Yeah, not all, but you know what I mean.

Well, I was just going to say one more thing, Yeah you're an aunt now or you already worried, but.

Yeah, dude, you know that when we were on our last podcast, they she was like she had her baby during that time.

Like before we cut.

Yeah, yeah, that's insane club.

Yeah, give us the give us name weight.

Oh god, what her interests are going to be?

Her name is Pippy Clark Hudson.

I should be as cute.

Yeah cute.

M has a very cute name.

Yeah, and I think she was born at like two twelve Central time.

Well, why we what what's her horoscope for?

Everyone wondering or just let us know what is she going to be like?

She is she a ferocious leader?

I think it's Lee is it Leo's she is.

Born three days after my birthday?

Oh that's fun.

So I'm either going to love her or want to kill her because they're going to be a lot alike.

I feel like you'll be a great and you're like you were born to be an hand.

Thanks mom.

No, that is not what it means.

It means you're thanks.

No, it just like it means like you'll be the cool and like braced the rules a little and played in the w NBA and can spoil them.

Yeah, that's all positive.

Cool rich ant, great gonna have.

I'm only flexing this because I know that they watched the pod, but I'm literally on door dash.

O.

Let's really speak, dude, no joke.

I literally use door dash probably seven to ten times a week.

Well, now it's gonna be worse because you're stuck at home.

All right, what's going in and going on in your world?

Anything fun?

Anything upcoming?

Like update us?

Actually?

Good question?

See this jacket?

Yeah, so it's they're called Pluto Golf.

It's like a golf street wear brand.

They're like like meeting in the middle.

So it's like all golf stuff, but it's kind of just like Swaggy anyways, and it's a collab of Captain Morton and it's I was.

Wondering, No, it looks real swaggy.

Is it kind of like a ski top or like what material is that?

It's like I don't know.

It's it's like it feels like a rain jacket because it's still golf, so like it's for outside.

Well, we had to cut my fanel because it was too loud.

I'm actually okay today, but I got I like modeled for them and so and then these dropped, uh last week or like on Saturday.

Wait, you did some modeling Yeah, fucking for like golf pictures.

Do you not see?

It's kind of shick.

I feel like I'm like I'm working on it.

Like they're kind of fun.

It never picks up, oh dude, yeah or no go back?

Yeah right there, Yeah you're vibe.

Yeah, like there, it's like cool stuff.

And then I did like in a studio like with a.

Golf club and ship.

Dude, we need to do something like that together.

I think Oh, so many people are asking for us to drop merch.

We need to get on that.

Yeah, I figured out what what would be like.

I want to just make rock Bridge High School vintage T shirts.

She's the only thing I want to do.

Okay, we'll see those on the side.

You could do you know what the world is ours.

We could do whatever the hell we want.

So we can do that.

We can do our merch.

We can have a shirt with your face on it, a shirt with my face on it, together our faces.

You you got your brandana dude.

Yeah, but I, oh my god, you're not gonna even have a tunnel walk through this.

I am, I am, and I'm literally going just for you.

Oh ship dude.

Guess what.

Guess who I kind of get to model for.

Who?

It's she does all the really cool jackets for all like the Wilds Christian check.

Yeah, so she her her company off brand, like her designer brand.

She is going to the devil you and so I'm going to be one.

Of the first w players to rock her style in Tomorrow's out in Tomorrow's tunnel fit.

Wait hell yeah, like this similar to like the football and she but she made she made Taylor and Coke.

Yeah, that was she Okay.

First of all, I want to give her a huge shout out because she seems like never let her in person, but she seems like the nicest to it, and she's stunning.

Like I, actually, this is so random.

You bring her up.

Because at the flag football thing I was at, they were all like, oh, we partnered with Christian Muschek.

I forget what it was for, but they were like glowing talking about her.

So she's we need to get her on the podcast.

That would be sick because she was so tight.

I I told her, I'm coming like to a game.

We're going to hang out.

She seems like my type of chick.

Wait, Ashley, will you sprinkle that to her?

Yes?

Like yeah before someone else.

That would be really fun because she's like very much in the NFL world, but also like a fashion style and we.

Do what if she styled us and we did like an in person?

Dude, I think she made Paige disorbo a jacket from Super Bowl this past year.

Oh yeah, she's like she's like really crushing.

Yeah, I really like her.

Well, dude, we're kind of like in syncret now.

Oh it's weird.

Yesterday, Abercrombie announced that they're the they're the official merchandiser of the NFL.

How crazy is that?

I kind of like that.

No, it's sick.

One's the last time we've been to it.

I've been in one, But like, I wear her stuff all the time.

They have like the best Abercrombie might have had the best rebrand in the history of like the world possibly remember if they were the moose in the and the cologne and like.

I know good, but I went in there when we played out in Phoenix at Fashion Square Mall.

No, no, Joe, there's she's kind of expensive.

Yeah, I see.

I think they want to keep the allure that they're like not cheap and so, but they just they have so much cool stuff.

I have cheap stuff from them.

Wait, do you do you feel like you're more of a bargain and cheap buyer or are you more like, let's get let me.

Be booed, don't let me spend some money.

I don't buy, Like I don't really wear a designer Like everything I wear is from eBay or like first Stops stores, Oh fust shop.

But uh, I've thanks for asking that, because I if I was wearing designer ship, I feel like everyone else would be wearing it.

And I feel like I've kind of carved my own little niche for fashion and it's very it's it's like individual pieces.

It's like stuff I find on eBay or like cool pants from like random places, and just like piecing everything together.

I don't really I don't think that the name like this is just sound so corny, but like, yeah, a designer name or like watch does not like it doesn't do it for me.

To be honest, I get it, but I rather like puzzle it outfit together than yeah, buy a shirt that like says fucking Gucci on it or some shit.

You know.

I think I think having good staple pieces that you can mix and match are good.

I don't think I would ever buy.

I don't think I.

Would ever truly really buy designer clothes.

But I think my reasoning for it is one, it's just two overpriced and it's not really me but really, like I can't eat or go out without spilling stuff on me.

I think that's an issue that's perfect.

Do you But what about what about pregame?

Do you like?

Do you have a stylist for pregame?

Yeah?

Sometimes, and like the ones you can tell the ones that she does, and like I I've all spend money on clothes, Like I like looking nice and I like dressing up, Like I think that's super fun.

But I just I'm saying, like I I could never get myself to spend like like we must spend a thousand, one thousand plus dollars on like a white shirt that you could literally get at Zara or Walmart or Target that all look the same.

Like I could never get myself to do something like that, But I do like good stakeholds and whatnot.

Does that make sense?

Yeah, of course I'll say I've done designer or like high end brand stuff if I'm like borrowing it for true, like when we do like reunions and shit, like I'll wear like this shue will be expensive, but it's like for the day, Yeah, and then it gets returned wherever.

Yeah, I think that's valid, But I also think, like I've done that before, and then like I end up really liking the pants and so yeah, they maybe a couple of hundred maybe you know, and like, but I wear them all the time, like they get good use and they're gonna last.

People don't talk about this enough, but once you're doing stuff like your tunnel fits or like a lot of the places I'm going are like on TV and now we have Instagrams.

You can't be an outfit repeater.

No, you can't, which is why I feel like I try to keep like make the outfit puzzle it together so then you can kind of like reuse a piece or like something else.

Yes, and people might not notice, but you can't, like you literally cannot be an outfit repeter or no.

I know, but I think I guess I think that's so good that you said that, because I think when when people are like, oh you are like no, like that's a good stable piece.

That's what I meant by that, like a good having a good solid pants that you can wear with multiple outfits, good solid shirt or jacket.

Like I think that's valid because I used to not like use a stylist that like she goes and gets the clothes and I wear them and then I give them back like I'm not paying for I'm just paying for her service.

But when I didn't do that, you rack up so many clothes and it's like it's stupid, like it's so dumb, like and I I don't know, I end up giving them away anyway, So I'd much rather not pay for that time type of stuff.

Part of the main reason I like really needed to move this summer was I and and also like you and I get gifted stuff a lot.

So there's there's like that part of the clothing collection that like is uh, it just adds to it.

But I lived in and I slit it into the little New York apartment, like there's not you can't be a hoarder or like keep all your stuff if you live in New York City like it kind of it kind of an interesting thing with New York City apartments is you have to be creative with storage closet space where you're putting stuff.

Like it's it's fun to go to to this apartment and see like, oh, like you're using this for storage, Like here's where your suits are, here's where your shoes are.

In New York you cannot keep the stuff.

It's like really hard because you'll be overflowed, like overflown over give.

I learned to give mine away, like I've like other people will want that stuff, and like I don't want a third away because a lot of this stuff is really nice and like I'll keep what I want or I'll use it and then I'll give it away.

But like maya house in Phoenix, I designated a whole room that is a toddler's room as another closet, and that's even overpacked.

I'm like, Okay, this is getting out of control, like I need to.

I've been blessed with a lot, so it's time for me to give back here.

So did you level up?

Uh, like living situations when you move to Indy a US farm and bigger.

Well, I lived in a house in Phoenix, so I don't know if it's leveling up.

But I think the team housing why is that this is bigger?

But you also, like the market of Phoenix and the market of India are two different.

Wait, I think people would be really interested to know how that works.

So, like, say you get traded, You're moving to a new city sometimes across the country.

You don't have time to probably pack up your house or move everything because you have to do the press, you have practice, you have like stuff to do.

How does the team like help you when you're in the process of like moving to end.

Yeah, so they will.

I got lucky because I had months to kind of prepare but even with that, they will pay for they pay for shipping, they do all that.

So anything you have to move, if it's your car plus bags plus whatever, they pay for all that.

And so each team will will do that.

And then you can choose to do team housing, which is paid forward by the team.

You're living rent free.

Typically you are in an apartment, or you can get like a stipend x amount of money a month if you want to like live by, get a house or do whatever.

And so I think it really depends on how long your contract is.

For one, yeah, if you like the city, if you're wanting to buy, if you're wanting to be here year round, like all that stuff kind of comes into play.

But the w does give you options.

I think in this next CBA hopefully it'll be a little bit more money, a little bit better options.

But I will say like Phoenix did a really good job of I think in the last two years I was with them with team housing, like we stayed at the nicest places.

And then Indiana they really take care of you here too, So I've been I've been lucky there because there's some teams that not great.

What's the like long of a contract do you think someone for any sport would need before they wanted to like look into buying a house, Like it's just so like I don't know, not in your control.

A buyer would just feel like super OVERWHELMINGA.

Well, I would say, I think it depends to.

Like are you married, do you have a family, are you start a family, do you have pets?

Like all that symptoms in play.

But I do think that like if you're there for I think two years, I would really say three is comfortable.

I think if you're there for three years, then I would look into buying a house even two years, because you're there a lot, right, But I don't know, I think a lot of people really still use team housing, Like think about it.

I'm twenty eight and I'm living rent free, like I don't besides like my phone and car.

Well actually it's starting to but I really am kind of living expense prey besides a couple of things.

So it's kind of nice.

That's so awesome, save your money, so VH.

Yeah, okay, well obviously you and I had been Chiefs fans, but you do live in Indianapolis.

Yeah, I've always wondered also as like professional athletes like you're in the city and like eat those fans who like root for the fever are definitely Colts and Pacers fans.

Yeah, do you feel an obligation going into this fall to like you, you don't need to like claim the Colts like but like support them.

Maybe pop it into a game more Little Blue like or are you chief show nail?

Never, I won't even look at the Colts.

Also, Daniel Jones and you starting quarterback.

Congrats any Lust, It's very exciting.

Is that a good thing?

I'm probably say no, Oh, I don't know enough about figure it out.

Yeah, I'm not.

I don't.

That's that's my issue.

Is I like to kind of and is it in Golfer indulge engulf myself.

Both indulged in This is probably what I would indulge.

And I like to kind of indulge myself of where my two feet are at and like what city I'm in, and so like when I was in Phoenix, I became a diamondback span and a cardinal span and like a coyote span.

They moved it up, so like I really try to.

I want to get involved in the city, like I like that, And so here I've definitely become a pacer span I think that I'll definitely go and check out the Colts, like I don't have any beef with them.

I don't.

I don't.

Stadium beautiful Stellium.

I mean I can see it, yeah from my apartment.

But I think, like, deep down, I always have my team, which is the Chiefs, but I I'm so down to go and support the team, like I'm out for that.

I'm not.

I'm not weird about that.

I think of like like Jason Tatum for example, Yeah, like in Boston could be a Red Sox saying that dude loves Saint Louis so much that he like it's Cardinals hats Cardinals jerseys for the jerseys, like no matter what.

But due think about it, he was raised in Saint Louis though, like if we're Lumbia, we're waiting to pick so it's a little different.

Well no, what, I just mean the opportunity you have to either embrace the city that you're going to be in or just stick to like where you're from.

And I don't think there's a wrong answer, but like he fully is like Saint Louis all the way, and I admire him for that, but there's also people who, like, you know, do embrace the city there and the kind of like become one with that city.

Well I think that I'm not.

No, I get that, and I get what you're saying.

Now.

I think for me, I am not shy.

Like everyone knows, I'm a huge Cheese fan, like, and I am like if Colts and Cheese are playing Chiefs all the way, you know what I mean.

But like, will I go and support the Colts per game?

Yeah?

Yeah, yeah, the thing that's perfect and it's just good to like it's nice to get in front of the same sports fans who like show you love and indie and like support their other people.

Like I think that's totally the right play.

Wait, do you want to know something?

Though?

I will say, like when I when I went to a Cardinals game, though, the whole time I was just like kind of judging and comparing how much better Arizona?

Yeah yeah, yeah, Like I was just comparing everything to like how much better the Chiefs and our stadium and our tailgating and our fans are not.

I have a lot more hardcore, But I.

Think not a lot of venues are going to compete air ahead and you and I are biased, but.

I will die at Hell and Ton dead.

Uh that's dope.

Yeah, what what else before I see X time?

Hopefully you have a BM by the next podcast.

Maybe Mama kidding vowel movement?

Oh you knew?

Hopefully you have a B in dude?

Is there anything else going in your world?

I did to next week.

I did charity event on Thursday for a dog.

It's not a dog shelter in New York City, but it's for abandoned dogs too, like our actively being fostered and need homes.

And it was it felt so good to like, I like when I filmed the show the other summer, there's a lot of bars and a lot of drinking and like drama, you know, and it feels good to like really do something uh that like is important and like helps people.

And they were so thankful and so nice and like basically we got up one of my favorite bars.

They just brought like six of the dogs in and just let him like hang out, and then the bar, the bar tab a percentage of it went to like their medical bills, and then all the people who were fostering them came to and so like the idea is that people can meet them and then hopefully adopt.

But even if it's just a day to give the dogs, like yeah, some love and bring them outside.

It was like, oh my god.

One of them, his name is Mac.

We were doing a little picture booth and he walked up and he like wasn't he couldn't really focus because he was like so overstimulated.

And I'm sitting right by it.

And then he takes two steps across my lap and just stops and sits in my lap, and I was pretty cool.

Part milic it.

Wait, can I ask you something?

Yeah?

Do you think because I think Brabo and complex and what you do has giving you the platform to do stuff like that, But do you feel like you cut yourself wanting to do stuff that is like more fulfilling.

What I love naturally and probably the most parent is like sports.

I played sports my whole life.

I feel like sports is the reason I see my family a lot in the fall, I see my friends because of sports, like not just being an athlete, but like the culture of sports has played a huge role in my life, and I feel like that's something I'm just kind of not leaving.

Despite the like TV show of it all, like I'm still doing like NFL Network and like I mean I would consider you and I doing a sports podcast.

But like as far as charity goes, I do think dogs is so easy for me just coming from a family that like has always had like animals, big animals, always had dogs.

Like not that I don't empathize with human beings, like there's zilion charities for like great causes, but there's just something about animals that I feel like it feels so rewarding.

Yeah, and I don't know how to like grow like necessarily, like we're growing in like the charity lane comes.

But like obviously we do have platforms and we're given opportunities to give back, and I think I found that a lot of the times, once you kind of step into something with your platform, like give it a shot, then it kind of it grows on its own.

But like, yeah, I did a dog event in like June and Central Park, and like I think that you know, people saw always doing work with like for animals as in New York, and then it just kind of grows.

So like yeah, I would do that.

And obviously my family has cows and horses.

If someone you know won't do anything.

But also I will say only so I was talking to someone about this last night in the in the Little Sweet But given my mom's work, I do find like women's health and like women's rights to be something that I find interesting, just given I've I've listened to my mom learn and grow and like have so many like fierce opinions about just like where women's health is.

And I feel like that's something that I've I've been like a little bit vocal on and we'll see if that, yeah, picks up.

But I met someone last night you work like a when it's health charity, and like I'm going to talk with him like doing stuff.

So that's another niche one.

But I think it's important for it to come from somewhere so that it's not just like throwing a dart on a board and oh, let me like choose to care about this now, Like these are all things that are like like I grew up caring about.

So yeah, well, I it kind of goes back to like the not to break back to this, but it's like the same type of biber or perspective of like going to a super Bowl when it's all corporate and it's not authentic.

Yeah, yeah, you're doing.

Something like a charity or something you want to get behind and support.

If you don't fully believe in it, then you're just gonna half facet and that's never gonna be good.

But like you actually are authentic and you care about it and it's something you're passionate about, then like that totally reflects of how you're going to handle and how you're going to treat whatever.

People notice that type of stuff.

So I like that, and I I ran to do a lot of like charity events for cancer because Jesse Solomon is a two time survivor and like, yeah, clearly that's such a natural cause for him to like be vocal and get back to.

And so I've been doing stuff with him and it's almost like, yes, I am with him doing something for the greater good, but it's almost like watching him get to give back in something that affected his life and something that he really really cares about is almost like just as cool for me to do with him, you know.

Yeah, So stuff like that's super dope.

I love that, But I love that.

I feel like that's a good way to end on like the most positive note ever I agree.

Are you gonna pop some pails as well?

For five minutes past?

Yes, I need to.

That's beautiful.

Say goodbye so Sophie can take some painkillers.

But I just want to give a shout out for the end of this podcast.
