Worst rigmatics. I like to go slower. All right, Dogs at restaurants, okay or not?

This is a tough one. Why I'm married to a dog lover. I have two dogs. I have two German Shepherds that are awesome. They're very well trained. They listen for the most part. My older dog really is good. So I have a skewed reality of like what an obedient dog is. So if you're gonna bring your obedient dog and it's gonna lay under the table and not interfere with anyone, great, and we're sitting I'm all for it. The problem is nobody trains their dogs. Nobody. Everyone thinks their dogs are like their kids, and like they're obligated and entitled to just like free roam of the restaurant, and that everyone wants to see their dog, Like I don't want to step over your dog to go to the bathroom. So if you're gonna bring your dog, fine, but that thing should be lay underneath your feet. It should not be in any of the territory of the aisles. The waiters should not be stepping over it. The waitresses should not be like kicking your dog as they serve me my food. And if you can do that, then bring your dog. More power to you. But if your dog's gonna be like a social butterfly and just have its way around the restaurant, then I'm not interested.

But he doesn't see my ginormous eighty pound German shepherd sitting next to him on the ground. So Luke lets himself in quietly. I'm upstairs, and he's like, I'm gonna scare TJ. So he comes around the corner real quiet, and he's like and he like makes a big, like startling noise to try to scare TJ. Well, my dog whose name is Tucker, my older male. He jumps into action and he stands up. You know, he's big. Now he's like and he so I hear Tucker go crazy, So I I come running down the stairs from upstairs in the gym, and he has Luke pinned up against the wall.

And to this day, when Luke comes over our house, he's like, where's Tucker, and like Tucker has to come over, and like he'll give him a little pet, but like he he has been startled. It's like a run joke. Every time I see Luke, I'm like, hey, don't worry, Tucker's not here. He's not going to pin you against the wall.

But she's like, hey, yo, I'm going to I want to. So you go to the plane and then the plane is going to take off and she's not there yet.

The guy left without his wife. He was like, she took too long. I told her not to go to Starbucks. What would you do?

Yeah, I probably wouldn't board with Outer because you don't know, it's probably been like a whisp. Sure, I probably didn't have it. The problem is I probably hurt. My boarding pass was probably on her phone. Yes, but you know, but I think if I put myself in that situation, I wouldn't have boarded the plane with Outer. There would have been like a whisper fight, you know, like a really like silent whisper fight, saying like why are you going to get a Starbucks right now? There would have been like a whisper, like a whisper fight back and forth, where like we think we're the only like everyone knows you're fighting, but you think no one knows you're fighting, you know, so there probably would have been like one of those going on. Hopefully I would have won the fight. Unlikely that I did. Ye, if there was no line at Starbucks, I probably would have hung tight. And yeah, I probably I would not have boarded the flight without her. That's that's I could prove that happened. That would be the case. But if she put us in that position, it wouldn't. The whisper fight would have escalated.

So my wife and I always had this joke, like when the twins were little, we we didn't sleep for like a year. In our again it was probably two months, but in our mind it's a year, and like we would we had this running joke that like as long as in the morning, whatever happened in the middle of the night didn't count. So like the twins went sleep, they'd alternate, you're tired, you're being mean, Like whatever we whisper fighted in the middle of the night, when we woke up in the morning, like when we when our eyes opened and it was morning time, we would like check in and be like, are we good, Like nothing that happened, nothing that happened throughout the night counted. We'd start fresh in the morning, and the whisper fights they don't count. So so that was kind of are like deal for us and it got us through like the first year of having the twins, and we've always tried to stick to that plan, Like if we're gonna fight, we got to fight, but if we're whisper fighting, it doesn't count.

Like what's a whisper fighting is? So like whisper fighting is like stop, you need a fucking Starbucks now we're about to board the plane. Get a Starbucks on the plane, or like, you know, when when the babies were small, it was like I'm fucking trying. Why don't you try to put them asleep? You're gonna wake up? There's this you know what I mean, Like you want to say everything, but you're talking like I'm trying. What do you think I'm doing? You know, so that whisper fighting is like not a real fight, and we were. We were on the same page with that, so that that got us. That's why we were able to get through having twins.

All I hear is let's go to Carissa, and I'm quickly hoping that it's the right highlight cheat that I have in front of me, because half the time I'm talking to somebody else or saying something inappropriate and praying that it doesn't end up on the microphone. I was like, I've had so many panic moments where Terry Bradshaw's been sitting next to me and saying God knows what, and all of a sudden, I hear, let's go to Chrissa, and I'm like having to get out of his mouth because I'm like, this guy, you never know what you're gonna get.

Greg is again one of the best teammates I've ever had, and like he is in our production meetings, I just have to say this and you ask me what my favorite line is, and then he can absolutely bury me.

He gives us his thoughts on everything. He's mid sentence, he's like, just you know, talking to us about this defense, and he goes, Guys, I just have to tell you. He sticks his giant paw in a bowl of tortilla chips, he shut it in his mouth, and he goes, their defense isn't a real free fall. I looked like it, and I was like, I'm just ceased. They're in a free fall.

They don't feel like it's a gotcha, and she's able to ask the question that everybody will on the note, did you feel pressure throwing the ball to Kelsey knowing Taylor Swift sitting in his box. That's a hard question to ask. Whoa That's a weird question to ask. And I'll tell you what when Aaron asks it, Yeah, it comes across as so normal, It comes across as non threatening, it comes across as so fun. And that's why you get the answer Mahomes gaber, which ended up being the story of the entire game.

Nope, Monday is my day. I on a typical Monday when I'm in Charlotte, which is ninety nine percent of my days for two days a year, My wife and I come down here by ourselves, and we always do it the week of her birthday. So this is just by chance that two days but nine percent of our year, on a Monday, we are in Charlotte. We'll get them off to school in the morning. Well Karen and I will go to breakfast or we'll do something like that, and then we kind of go our separate ways. She us her tennis thing, I go do whatever. We just Monday is our day, my day. The kids don't have sports, we don't have practice. I don't read an article. I close out all my stuff from the week before, you know, close out all those documents on my computer, put the you know, save everything to the folder for future reference, and just have a day, just collect, regroup, whatever. And then Tuesday morning I jump back into it. So Monday, I'm not doing nothing. I can't even tell you who we're calling this weekend. I need one day a week where I'm just like, I'm not worried about a Sports Scan article. I'm not worried about a PFF report about how Mac Jones does on third and seventh. Plus, I don't give a shit for one day, I don't care, don't give a shit.

Okay, so here's the question. Did you when you were playing did you?

Okay, so here's the question. Did you when you were playing did you?

Because there's all these guys that are like, oh, you know, I'll just get into broadcasting after like it's some foregone conclusion. Did you a know that you were interested in doing broadcasting after you play? Was it something that you were like, I'm going to be great at this or like sort of when did you? And you won't pat yourself on the back, because that's not who you are, but did it come naturally to you or has it been sort of this process? What's your experience so far been in broadcasting? Because the award has come, but how have you felt the process?

Yeah? So there was there was no moment where I ever and this is the truth, was there was no moment where I said to myself, He's like, you know what, my career is coming to an end. I think I can go do TV. It really it never. It did not happen like that. It really was a very organic, natural, kind of random process and it really all started. So it was like two thousand I think it was like twenty fifteen offseason, either twenty fourteen or fifteen offseason. I was out in LA I was in Manhattan Beach by Aaron, visiting my buddy Ryan and his wife Natalie, and we were out there and I had done some stuff with a local regional network back when before Fox sold off all their regional networks. There was a regional network called Fox Sports South and it was in Charlotte, and I did like acc football on Mondays. I was still playing you know, Mondays. I would go into like the random studio at the Fox office in Charlotte and I would do like a recap show that I'm sure nobody watched. I don't know if, I don't know whoever watched it. I don't even know what channel was on, but it was. It was Fox Sports South was the network name. And then Fox Sports South did a show called The Panel, which was like the year god who was coming out of the draft? Sammy Watkins from Clemson was in the draft, whoever was and there was like a bunch of draft guys who went down to Atlanta. Long story short, I did like some regional stuff with the Fox regional network. And then that offseason in twenty fifteen, they asked me to come in while I was out in La visiting Ryan and his wife, to come into the studio and do like an audition game and call a game, you know, in the studio. So I went and did that, and I talked to Troy, and I talked to a couple other people like trying to get myself prepared to do it. So I went in and did it blind and that was the end of it. And then in twenty seventeen, Fox asked me to come do a game on my bye week, so I joined Charles Davis and Kevin Burkhart and I did a three men with them for a game up in Minnesota, So that was when I was playing. In twenty nineteen, Fox asked me back to do a game in a two man booth with Kenny Albert, and I did a game in New York between the Giants and maybe like the Cardinals or something like that. So it really was just like little, tiny, small stuff with regional networks and digital stuff that no one ever saw. And then Fox said, hey, come on in, which they do with a million guys, right, they do a million kind of audition type broadcast games behind closed doors that no one ever sees. And then they asked me, hey, you want to come in on your bye week and I said yeah, and really the rest was history. So really it was that twenty seventeen game that I did with Kevin and Charles Davis at the time, and that was really my first moment where I was like you know what, this Colne the game thing might be my way in. You know, sitting at the studio desk is hard. You know, those guys have gold jackets, those guys have resumes a lot different than mine. Those guys are different as far as their caliber of player, you know, and from their career. But very few guys want to call games and very few guys can call games. And that was probably my first inclination to like, if you want to do this, calling games is probably your best avenue. And I kind of that's I just kind of dove into it, and here I am.
