The following podcast is a Dear Media production. What's up, guys? Welcome back to Sunday Sports Club Podcast, a podcast all about sports. But sometimes it's not about sports, because at the end of the day, it's my podcast. And if you like any of my story time videos that I've ever posted on social media, you're probably gonna like this episode because today I'm gonna recap the entire week of super bowl and all the events and everything that's happening in my. I thought the show was gonna end when my husband retired from the NFL, but I think I'm just such a chronic type B person. And I also love working hard and I say yes to literally everything that I think I'm just always going to live in a constant state of chaos. In fact, on my New Year's resolution list, one of my things that I really wanted to do was say no more. And so far this year, I've literally said no to nothing. So if you guys are watching the YouTube video, I just opened an accelerator. It's an energy drink and it tastes so good. I have the island guava flavor. I'm actually recording this from New York City. I'm here for 24 hours, and then when I get back home to California, literally tomorrow night, we're moving. So a lot of chaos happening. We got home from Super Bowl, I flew to New York, I'm flying back home, and then we're moving, and then, oh, yeah, I'm flying back to New York in two weeks. Oh, my God. Anyways, super bowl week was insane. I feel like a lot of people just tend to think that super bowl is literally just Sunday. But as you guys might have heard when I talked to the other NFL wives on the last episode, the Eagle's wife and chief's wife, those players flew in a whole week and a half before the football game, and they were there in New Orleans practicing. And I don't. I don't actually know what they were doing in New Orleans aside from practicing, but the week leading up to super bowl is insanely busy. And I will. I like to describe the week leading up to super bowl as like a high school reunion, but for the NFL. So, as you guys know, I feel like I mentioned this all the fucking time, but Isaac played in the NFL for seven years, okay? So think about high school or college. That's four years. Imagine, like, I don't know, middle school plus high school, right? So for Isaac's entire career, we made so many friendships. And then those friendships, we also made, like, acquaintances. Then you just get to know people and you meet people and yada, yada, yada. So super bowl week, I feel like, is just utterly insane. And then on top of that, which I don't really talk about this part of my life a whole ton because it's not fucking relatable. Is like, the content creation piece and working with all these brands and all of that. So, like, we know people from the NFL, we know people who work for the NFL. Then we also know people on the brand side, and then we also know, like, influencers and other content creators, and it's just. Just wild. Actually, I'm pretty sure this is, like, the third episode in a row that I don't have a voice. Pause for a second so I could take another sip of this drink. So let me bring it all the way back to the day we flew out to New Orleans. We flew out Wednesday morning and next year. Well, I would love to say I won't do it again next year, but again, I have a problem saying no, so that probably is not going to happen. So we flew out Wednesday morning. It was a very early morning, and we ended up taking our daughter, Scotty. I feel like there might be some mixed opinions on me bringing my daughter to New Orleans. I feel like at the end of the day, it. It is kind of selfish to, like, knock Scottie out of her routine and, like, out of her environment and bring her all the way to a city like New Orleans where, like, she's like, it's not like a family trip, right? Like, we are there to do podcasts and radio, go to the game and, like, work for these brands. So it's not like a family vacation. Like, we're not waking up and being like, oh, like, let's go and eat some beignets. Although we did do that one morning, but we did bring our daughter Scotty. I. I just don't feel that comfortable right now in my life leaving my daughter overnight, let alone for five nights. And that's how long we were gonna be in New Orleans. So Isaac and I made the decision to take her with us, and we ended up bringing my sister along, too, which I'm so grateful that my sister was able to take off work and help us out. Obviously, we ended up compensating her because, like, if you're missing work, she has to get a dog sitter, all that, which feels weird to even say, like, well, I'm not trying to put out her business. She didn't ask for payment, but I felt bad. Like, you're missing Work, all this. So we ended up bringing her out to New Orleans. So it was kind of like, like making the best of, like, a bad. Not a bad situation, but making the best of a situation where we're having to bring our daughter out of her routine and out of her environment, and at least she got to spend time with her aunt, her titi. Literally, she learned the word TT after this trip. My sister lives in San Diego, so, like, she sees my sister all the time, but it's just something I love. I love that my sister was, like, able to spend that much time with her. And I felt way more comfortable leaving my daughter in an Airbnb in New Orleans with my sister. I'm like, that's her blood. So I don't know. I just feel like my sister, like, not saying, like, any babysitter wouldn't have their eye out on Scotty, but it just made me feel so much better. And I feel like I. I tend to be private about some things relating to Scotty. Obviously, I keep her private, but. But I feel like I don't talk a lot about, like, child care or, like, what me and Isaac feel comfortable doing. And honestly, it's really because we don't do much. Like, we have two people that we really trust that live in Orange county, and we don't have anybody else that, like, travels with us, aside from my mom, my sister. And then we had a babysitter that we met in Texas, and she works for another NFL family. And I always felt really comfortable bringing her along, but now she has a different job, so she's not traveling. So I feel like it gets kind of difficult. I love working, and I also love being a mom. So it's really hard because, like, the entire time I'm in New Orleans, I'm feeling guilty about leaving my daughter at the Airbnb. But then I'm like, well, I brought her all the way out here, like, I have to go and do this stuff. And also, like, you got to make a living, right? So it's just, like, a really weird place to be in. Obviously. I'm so fucking lucky. And I understand there's, like, a huge privilege of me being able to be home with my daughter and have flexibility in my schedule. Same with Isaac. A lot of people do not get to do that, so I acknowledge that. But it is still, like, such a weird situation having to choose to work over my daughter. It's like, I don't know. I feel really guilty about it sometimes. But anyways, that was a long winded explanation into, like, describing us bringing Scotty out to New Orleans. So we get to New Orleans and we. When you work with a brand that's having you go out to super bowl events, they will, like, propose a few different ideas of, like, content, what they're looking for, and if they're requiring you to go to the super bowl, they're usually going to pay for a Super bowl ticket and then also pay for your flights and a place to stay. And so we decided to, instead of getting a hotel, get an Airbnb. That way Scotty at least wasn't cooped up in a hotel room for five days. We got a three bedroom house. That way my sister was able to stay in the house with us and, like, we were able to all just be under one roof. Our Airbnb in New Orleans was haunted. Okay, I'm gonna get into that in a little bit because it was haunted. And the last night that we were there, we were all snuggled into a bed, all just, like, doing research on this Airbnb. And I'm just so happy that we ended up waiting until the last night because it, again, it was haunted. You guys, my heel went through the floorboard of our Airbnb. So let's. Okay, we land in New Orleans, and I was super excited when you landed a Super bowl city. There is so much energy and, like, especially with New Orleans, I don't know if you guys have ever been, but there's so much culture there that if anybody were to place me in New Orleans and I didn't know about the city of New Orleans, I would assume I was in a different country just because the architecture is so different. Just like the culture there, I feel like, is so just rich. There's a lot of character. It's just like, honestly, I love the city of New Orleans. Like, there's so much. How do you. I want to say, like, flavor to it in a way. Like, it's not bland. You're not going to find, like, super cookie cutter houses. I mean, cookie cutter in a way. You guys see what I'm saying? Okay, so we land in New Orleans, we get in a car, we get over to our Airbnb. Our airbnb host was very hospitable. Okay, if, like, our Airbnb host is the reason that Airbnb is a thing, because she was so welcoming, she was like, here are recommendations, here's this, here's that. She made us a welcome drink. She was very, very welcoming. Okay. However, I woke up so early that the entire time she was, like, explaining Stuff I wanted to listen. I was fully falling asleep. Scotty was actually asleep. Okay. So we end up just, like, hanging out the house with the host for a little bit. As somebody who has social anxiety, I feel like that is, like, this sounds rude, but I'm being very, very honest about how I feel. I am the type of person that I don't like to interact with a lot of people in terms of, like, not even interact, but, like, just the idea of making it to your Airbnb after a long travel day, and then your host, like, is just hanging out with you, I think it just kind of made me anxious, and I was, like, in overload. Okay. I also had an event I had to go to later that day, so I was like, okay, like, not to be rude. Like, I need to go upstairs and, like, start getting ready. I hadn't eaten all day. I think I was hangry. Let's blame it on me being hangry. Okay. Also, I was on my period, so maybe I was a little moody, too. I don't know. But I end up going upstairs, showering, getting ready, trying to relax, and then I head over to this big building that what do. It's like a convention center, I would call it. I have no idea what the building is called, but it's huge. Okay. There's tons of things for fans to do and, like, different booths with different companies. There's, like, games there. It's such a cool thing to go to. I don't even know what necessarily is called. I should probably have looked that up before I started recording this, but it happens in every single super bowl city, so I got to walk around. I was actually at super bowl with a company, Barefoot Wine. And if you guys know anything about me, you know I love wine. And it was so much fun. I had so much fun with their social team and, like, walking around. I did a bunch of interviews, like, asking people how well they know football. And I just. That's, like, my favorite part of social media and, like, content creation is, like, really getting to interact with those types of people. Not me, like, five minutes ago, being like, yeah. Like, I get so much social anxiety. Like, the host being there made me anxious. But then I'm, like, going into a very public setting and, like, putting myself out there. I don't have. I don't really have reasoning for my social anxiety anyways. So do that. And then the next day, Thursday was a very, very chill day. Isaac and I wake up. We're like, okay, let's walk to get breakfast. We took Scotty we got some beignets. We were all kind of just like exhausted again from the travel day. But I think that's just like us being a little dramatic like you. We get it. Like you traveled to New Orleans. Okay, so Thursday, nothing much happened during the day. That night was the NFL honors. I did not go to the NFL honors this year. And last year that was one of the coolest things to go to. I went to the NFL honors during super bowl and in Las Vegas. I was 8 months postpartum in a skin tight dress with mesh. How did I do that? How did I do? I have no idea. In my right mind did I think, why, why did I make the decision to put on a skin tight dress with mesh at 8 weeks postpartum and interview NFL players and their significant others and other notable people in the sports community? You guys, my boobs were leaking milk. I was like patting them down in between interviews. I have no idea. But that was so much fun. I did that with YouTube and it was one of my favorite experiences of my career. I love doing interviews. I obviously love talking in general, but I love talking. But I love talking to people. And I think that's why I thoroughly enjoyed going to that, that convention center and talking to people and like interviewing them. So, yeah, I feel like down the line, like that's a career goal I have. I love, love, love, love having a microphone in my hand and talking to people. I would love to do like on the field broadcasting or anything, like sideline reporting. That is like something that like just gets me so excited. You guys know me and Isaac are always in a plane, right? Like, I feel like we are constantly traveling, constantly at the airport. Literally. We just got back from football game and I'm already in New York. I'm currently recording this in New York and then in two weeks we go back to New York. So like again, we are always traveling and always on a plane. But you know what I really want to do this year? I want to go on a full blown vacation. I'm talking like from the time I leave to the time I don't get back. I'm not on my phone, I'm not looking at emails. I am fully just putting present with Isaac and my daughter. And that someplace is going to be warm. Okay, I'm heading to the beach. So something I really want to take advantage of is Macy's. Because I'm the type of person that if I go to a store like Macy's, I'm going to get all of my shopping done in the same place. I'm talking, like, swimsuits, flip flops, something for Scotty. Like, I'm talking. Every single thing I need is going to be there. Cute hats, accessories, luggage. I mean, literally, they have it all. I'm really looking forward to going somewhere warm and that somewhere that's actually going to feel like a vacation. I'm thinking, like, maybe Mexico or somewhere south. Okay. I want to see palm trees. I want to see the beach. I want to be on a floaty. And Isaac's gonna need some new pieces in his wardrobe as well. Isaac has been working his booty off, trying to work out and lose weight, and he's been looking so good, but I gotta say, his pants sizes have dropped a little bit. And so Macy's is also going to be beneficial for him as well. You guys actually, like, Scotty's growing too. So, like, the whole family just needs to head to Macy's and get some new clothes, especially swimsuits. Like, I have not put on a swimsuit since last summer, aside from, like, the little trip I went on at the beginning of this month. But aside from that, like, I just want to, like, refresh my closet a little bit. And especially in terms of, like, vacation, I feel like whenever I look good, I feel good. So Macy's has it all. I mean, whether you're going somewhere warm for travel this year or somewhere cold, I feel like a lot of people are coming up on, like, their spring break, President's Day, all of that. So people are going to be leaving town and heading on the Levy case, even if it's a staycation. So if you need something, head over to Macy's because I can guarantee you they're going to have it. Whether you're looking for makeup or hats and gloves or swimsuit, outdoor active luggage. I mean, they have North Face, Ugg, Columbia, Sorel. Like, they have so many notable brands. And I have to say, one of my favorite brands that I always look forward to seeing at Macy's. Free people. I'm such a free people, Stan. I feel like that's something I'm building in my wardrobe is, like, have my little free people section with time, right? Because we all know free people has a price tag. But I know I'm going to get the best deal at Macy's. So if I'm buying free people, chances are I'm going to Macy's to do it. So if you guys are in the need for any winter gear, any summer gear, literally anything in between, head over to Macy's, because I know that's what I'm going to be doing. You guys, it's the time of the year where every cat is an indoor cat. My cat loves to go outside and bathe in the sun. And honestly, she'll use the bathroom outside too. Okay? She's like one of the dogs. But as of recently, it has been raining non stop in Southern California, which I feel like is very rare. And I know a lot of people in other areas of the country. I'm currently recording this in New York. So I know you guys are going through the weather changes a little bit more intense than I am, but my cat is still feeling it. I'm sure your kitties are also still feeling it. And if my cat's inside, chances are I'm inside, okay? And if there's one thing that can really stink up being inside, it's the litter box. So don't let that nasty smell ruin your winter wonderland or rainy land. If you're in California, switch to Pretty Litter like we did. Pretty Litter is non clumping formula. Traps odor and moisture. It's ultra absorbent, it's lightweight, low dust and one six pound bag works up to a month. And Pretty Litter gives me like the peace of mind. It changes colors to indicate early signs of potential illnesses in my cat, like urinary tract infection, kidney issues and more. And I love my cat, you guys. Whenever I post her, you guys are like, wait, show us more grace. Show us more grace. The crazy thing is that Grace, my cat, if you guys are new here, grace is turning 13 this year, so she's not a kitten anymore. Although she kind of acts like it still. But I love the fact that Pretty Litter can just give me that peace of mind that as she's growing older, I know that like if the litter changes to a certain color, I know to go to my vet. And since Pretty Litter ships free right to my door, I never run out. I never have a huge kitty litter bag taking up space. I don't have to go out in the cold or the rain and lug those huge tubs from a store to my car and into my house. And indoor cats and indoor humans can agree. Pretty Litter helps my house smell fresh and clean. So go to Prettylitter.com Sunday to save 20 on your first order and get a free free cat toy. Your cat's gonna love it. That's Pretty Litter.com Sunday to save 20% on your first order and get a free cat toy. Pretty Litter.com Sunday terms and conditions apply. C site for details so Friday of the super bowl, woke up. We went to Radio Row. So Radio Row is where they have, you probably could guess, a bunch of different radio shows. They have some, like, different booths with different companies. I'm pretty sure you need credentials to get into Radio Row and to, like, walk around. I went to Radio Row to do a quick snippet with Unwell on Sirius xm and I had so much fucking fun that, again, it goes back to, like, me having a microphone in my hand. I very much could be a radio host because I had so much fun. So I was on the Unwell Sirius XM channel with Alex Cooper and Grace, and we were just shooting this shit. She was asking me about my past with, like, NFL life and being a wife, and I think she called it wag. I'm not sure. I know she just did a podcast with Kylie Kelsey, and she was like, don't call me a wag. And it's funny because nobody, no wife or girlfriend in the NFL community ever refers to themselves as a wag. It's always the people on the outside referring to the people on the inside as wags. And I find it so funny because I'm like. The term wag, I think, has a really bad connotation. You think of somebody bougie stuck up, like, oh, my husband has money. Like, that's what I tend to think when you, like, I don't. I've never met somebody who called themselves a Wag. I think it's easy to say, like, I did, like, a Wags brunch, which I'll get to in a second, but, like, I don't think I ever referred to it as a Wags brunch. I think that was just the title. So. Had so much fun. I was on the unwell SiriusXM channel. I don't even know where that aired, but I had a lot of fun. And then we also did a quick People magazine interview where, like, we kind of briefly discussed Isaac's retirement. I'm so happy that I. You guys, I'm swearing a lot. I'm sorry, I don't know where that's coming from. Probably my mouth. That's where it's coming from. I'm so happy that Isaac announced his retirement before super bowl weekend because throughout the entire football season, anytime we did something football related or sports related or literally anything to do with content, a lot of people would ask, like, oh, Isaac, like, what's next? What are you doing? Blah, blah, blah. And so it was so nice that Isaac had made the announcement that he had officially retired because then people were congratulating him. Seven years in the NFL is fudgeing insane. Like, again, average NFL career is two and a half years. So I'm just so happy that he announced before, selfishly, because then I didn't have to stick around to listen to Isaac answer the question. Oh, what are you up to? I think people were just like, oh, like, celebrating Isaac retirement. And then everyone was like, oh, we're excited to see what. What's next. I think everybody kind of assumes Isaac's going to go the route with a microphone in his hand with like, broadcasting or something like that, because he's so good at it. He's so charismatic. Another thing about the super bowl being like an NFL high school reunion is that my husband is like a politician, he's like a mayor. This man knows everybody and anybody and can strike up a conversation with a wall. Okay? Me, on the other hand, I'm avoiding my very nice, very hospitable airbnb host, okay? My social anxiety goes through the roof. And that's why I think me and my husband make such a great team. Team. That's not funny. But I think that's why we make such a great team. Because in social settings, like, he can so quickly, like, strike up a conversation, change the. Where the conversation's going. He knows how to appropriately leave a conversation, whereas I'm like, okay, guys, talking. You gotta go by like, he's just so charismatic and it's something I very much admire about him. So when everybody is hearing of him retiring, it's so easy to assume that he's probably going to go into broadcasting or something like that, which is so exciting. I'm like, this man should, like, start a podcast or something. Not my podcast. This is mine and not Isaac's. So after Radio Row, we ended up going on to the BFF's podcast and then another barstool podcast. And it was just a lot of fun. I think that just when all of these content creators and different people, like notable people are in town, I think it's so fun. I was gonna say to rub shoulders, not rub shoulders. That sounds way too formal. But it's so fun to see all these people that, like, you're friends with on social media that you're mutuals with and then you meet them in person, you're like, do you know who I am? Do you actually follow me? Or, like, do you just follow me and like, you don't know who I am? Which, that sounds ridiculous, right? But I don't know I just kind of assume sometimes that even though we follow each other mutually on social media, you might not know who the fuck I am. Or, like, you might not care. Honestly, like, what if somebody followed me and realized that, like, I had already followed them? So then we were mutuals, and now they're, like, annoyed of my content and. Wow. Actually, while telling the story, I think I'm a little insecure. So back to the story. We do the BFFs podcast. I go and get some food, and then later on that day, there were a few other events, and I was, like, so exhausted, and I was like, you know what? I'm just gonna go back to the Airbnb. I'm gonna wash my face, I'm gonna relax, and I'm gonna hang out with my daughter. And Isaac ended up going to. I don't. I don't know where Isaac ended up going, but one of his best friends was in town. He's a retired NFL player, and he was there doing some other stuff. He has, like, a different job now after he's retired. That has to do with, like, I don't know, like, finances or, like, accounting or something. Anyways, so that guy had a purpose in being at the Super Bowl. He was, like, there to, like, make connections. And Isaac just wanted to go and, like, talk to people because he loves talking to people. I can relate to an extent, but then I have, like, a cutoff point where I'm like, I've been. I mean, you guys, do you hear my voice? I'm like, I have been talking all day and I need to go home and I need to disassociate. That's. That's literally something Isaac and I always reference. I. This. I think this is so healthy in a marriage that if Isaac and I have had a long day or, like, whatever, okay, maybe I'm having an anxiety attack. Maybe he's, like, stressed out about something. We will go to one another and say, hey, I really need to disassociate. Can you give me, like, 15? And that allows the other person to, like, go and scroll on Tick Tock or, like, listen to a podcast, listen to music. Literally just go and get a cup of coffee. I love disassociating, and I think it's something that every marriage should incorporate into their, like, back pocket, because it allows me to, like, go and fill up my cup or at least, like, ignore my current problems. And then when I come back, I feel like I'm always a little bit more peaceful. So I took this time to disassociate fully. And Isaac took this time to go and talk to poor people. Okay, so then I had makeup come back over. They redid my face so that I looked presentable and, like, I had glam the entire weekend, and I have never felt hotter. I also dyed my hair right before super bowl, and that was pretty bold because if I felt ugly, I. I might have. I might have not went to, like, any of these parties, which is so fucking ridiculous to say. Wait, you guys. I missed talking about the New Heights party. That was way back on Wednesday when we landed. Okay, let, let's, let's take a quick step back and then we'll. We'll come back to this. So on Wednesday night when we landed, I went to, like, the Expo building and I did all those interviews. I came home and my sister had not flown in just yet. She was flying in Thursday night, and I found out of the New Heights party. Well, I knew about the party, but I didn't know about the timing. And so when I realized, like, oh, it's on Wednesday night, like, my sister's not going to be here, so, like, Scotty's gonna be here. And I was like, you know what? I'm just gonna stay home. My husband was like, no, you're gonna go. And I was like, well, I feel like if anybody should go, like, you should go. Like, you're. You're the retired NFL player. Like, I feel like you should go and talk to people because he's probably going to know more people there, right? And he was like, absolutely not. He was like, this is a great, like, party for you to go to. Like, you know, Kylie, you know, a few other people going, like, why don't you go? And it's funny because he's like. He's like, maybe Taylor Swift is going to be there. I'm like, okay. Like, that has literally nothing to do with anything. So instead of staying home, I was like, fudge it. Like, I'm only in New Orleans once. The party was like a seven minute drive away from our Airbnb and where we were staying. So I was like, I'm going to go. I'm going to go say hi and then I'm going to leave. We were pulling up to the New Heights party. I have no idea who was in the car in front of us, but there was a police car in front of them and a police car behind them. And it was not Taylor Swift. Okay, I hate to bring it to you guys, it was not Taylor Swift, but I was in the car behind and they were like, sorry, roads blocked. And I was like, no, I think I'm going there. And he was like, are you on the list? And I was like, I think I was like, I hope that was like. That would be humbling. Like, get all the way there. And you're like, oh, denied. So I don't know who that person was to this day. I have no idea who had the police escort. They literally, like, were surrounding this person. I think it was a man. They're surrounding this man, walking him into the party, and then five minutes later, I get out of the car, I walk in the party, and I'm like, no, Guess I'll never know. So to this day, I guess I'll. Well, I guess I'll just die not knowing, which is so kind of unfortunate, but walked into the New Heights party. Every party for the super bowl has. Well, I guess not every single one, but a lot of them have red carpets where they have press and, like, a ton of cameras. So I walked the press. It was, like, fun. But also I did my own makeup that night, so I feel like I. I did not like it, and I was just exhausted from the day. Everyone's like, oh, my God, you did your own makeup. Like, boohoo. Like, you're so out of touch. I feel like you could make anything seem out of touch. No, I just felt ugly. Okay, let's be. Let's call it what it is. I felt ugly. I also never wear my hair up, but it was so greasy. I was like, I have to throw this up. I was wearing, like, a pantsuit. And I was like, like, this isn't really gonna accentuate my body in the best way. And anyways, ended up seeing people I knew talk to Kylie. It was a lot of fun. And then I was like, I actually want to go home and cuddle with my daughter. So that's exactly what I did. But I think it. Isaac made a tick tock being like, oh, like, I'm staying home, playing with my daughter. My wife is out, like, maybe meeting Taylor Swift. I. You guys, I'm not a huge Swifty. And it's funny because I'm like, Isaac, you're fully just using Taylor Swift's name to clickbait. Like, fully. Like, I. It's not that I don't like her. I think she's a great artist. I'm just not like, I don't know. I just thought it was so funny. He made a TikTok about that. I was like, isaac, we never talk about Taylor Swift. Why are you making a TikTok about it? So now we're gonna fast back forward. Okay, so Friday we get home. What party did we go to on Friday? Now I'm just using the my phone to like, remind me where I went every single night. Oh, fanduel. So then we go to this party that night. It's a fanduel party. I think we also went to the Spotify party. That actually might have been the same party. I don't know. While we were there, we saw like, Alex, we saw Trevor Lawrence. We like, literally, I feel like we saw somebody from every team. Okay. And it. This is a party that I was like, I looked left and I saw somebody I knew. I looked right, I saw somebody I knew. We were surrounded by so many people. It was so much fun. And they were like, actually, we're going to have to shut down the party because the fire marshal is like, this place is too crowded. And I was like, okay. And they never shut it down. I'm like, you guys, is this safe? Is this not safe? New Orleans is a really unique city to throw a Super bowl because there's a lot of small, narrow streets, a lot of one ways, and they shut down a large part of the roads. So I was just walking in my little booties and my feet hurt so bad. So end up making it home that night, obviously. Where else would I have gone? End up making it home that night because I had an early morning the next day. If you follow me on literally any form of social media, you've probably seen me post about Thrive market or talk about thrive market or show my grocery haul because I am such a thrive market. Stan, the fact that you get groceries straight to your door and you save time being in the grocery store, that's a win. Second win is that you guys know I avoid gluten and dairy in my diet. And I also am like kind of a crunchy mom in some sorts. So, like, I am trying to find the best ingredients possible for both me and my child. And Thrive Market has it all in terms of like gluten free or vegan dairy free, and the list goes on and on. And raising a family today, I feel like it's like navigating a maze of unhealthy options with hidden sugars, artificial ingredients, misleading labels. It's hard to know it's actually good for you and your kids. And that's why I love Thrive Market. What's really handy about their site is that they have on site filters so you can shop based off what matters to your family. Again, low sugar, gluten free, organic, high protein options and everything they offer is a hundred percent non gmo. And one feature I feel like I have to talk about is the Healthy Swap Scanner in the Thrive Market app. So here's how it works.

Saturday of the super bowl was my favorite day by far. I ended up throwing a brunch with Taylor Rooks, who is a broadcaster. You guys have probably heard of her. She's incredible. Through a brunch with her, and it was, like, titled as a Wags brunch, but we all know it was just like, women in and around the sports community. And while I was there, I was able to record a podcast with Kansas City chief's wife Jackie Tranquil and Philadelphia Eagles wife Nikki Mylada. You guys, I wish I could say her entire name. She said it in the podcast last week if you didn't hear that. And I wish I could say that, but I have no idea how to say her actual full name. Nikki Mylata. Okay. So I ended up getting to interview them on the podcast, which is super special. I also thought it was really cool that the girls were so open and, like, willing to do a podcast the day before their husbands played in the Super Bowl. I feel like I would have been a nervous wreck. So I'm super grateful that they were, like, able to be vulnerable and to come on the podcast. And then there were two other podcasts that were filmed to my other friends that were also there, and it was so much fun. There were groups of influencers from New York that I knew. There were owner's wives and family. There were a ton of girlfriends and wives from just in and around the league. And it was so much fun. I loved sitting down and talking to people. So end up hosting the brunch. It was really cool because I got to be a part of, like, them setting up this entire warehouse space. They were given the keys at midnight, and at 1am they had people going in and, like, setting the storefront and setting up everything. And it was really, really cool. And I also feel like this was the first company I really saw gearing all of this shit towards women. I made a tik tok about this. 47% of the Super bowl viewers. Women. Okay, 47%. So it's really interesting to see, like, some of these commercials be geared towards men. I didn't get to watch the commercials this year, obviously, because I was at the super bowl, which is kind of a downfall of going to the Super Bowl. But I'm not going to complain about getting an invite to the super bowl because I had so much fun. And it's something I'LL never take for granted. And it was just, I just thought it was so cool that a company saw the value of inviting these women out and like, making them feel special and like they were a part of the sports community. Right. And then after that, I ended up going back home. That was a long day. I woke up at 6am and I didn't get back to my house until 2pm and these are the days I'm referring to. Like, I felt so guilty as a mom that like I was out of the house all day again. She's with my sister. She's loved, she's taken care of, she's having so much fun because I. I ordered a bunch of toys from Target on Instacart to get to the house so that she had like new fun toys to play with. We brought her stroller so like my sister was able to like take her out, go to walks. Like, I. They went to like breakfast a few times. And my brother and my brother did I just call my husband, my brother, my husband. It's my sister's brother in law. But my husband and my sister took Scotty out to like go get breakfast and they took her to the parade and they sent me videos of her at the parade and I was like, like, I missed her first parade. So I feel like those are the things that I'm like, dang. Like, I love working. I love having a career. Like, I genuinely, genuinely like, love working. I mean, in any capacity. Hell, when I graduated college, I literally had three jobs just because I. I genuinely like working and I like going after stuff and like having all these goals. But then I have the other side where I'm like, like, I kind of need to slow down because I don't want to miss like major parts of my daughter's life. Not. I mean, I mean, this was the busiest work week of my life. Okay, the busiest work week. But I don't know, it just kind of like made me feel bad. So when I got back, I was like, oh my gosh, like a shower off my body. I'm gonna wash my face. But I had other things I had to do. But I was like, you know what? I'm gonna push that to the side. I was like, I need to spend time with my daughter. I want to hang out with her. So I literally just like cuddled her on the couch for two hours. I played dolls with her. And then ding, ding, ding. I was time to get ready again. So that night, go back to my photos app. You guys know I love my photos. Because I don't remember what I do. I have a short term. Short term memory loss. Oh, wait. This night was so much fun. Okay, so Estee Lauder and so Estee Lauder and Nylon magazine hosted a dinner and Kristen, you shack. Hopefully I didn't butcher her last name. You check you shut. Okay, you guys know her. Okay, you guys know her. You love her. The fashionable queen who made the jackets. Like one who owns off season the brand now. She co hosted this dinner. And I had so much fun at this dinner. It was a very intimate setting. It was held at a restaurant, like, right on a busy street. And it was just so enjoyable. Getting to sit down, like, talk about, like, what these women are doing. There were women from so many different backgrounds. There was a woman from the Bachelor, a model was there, broadcaster, like, so much fun getting to sit down and, like, hang out with all these women. And it was also like a plated dinner. So I was like, finally, like, I had not eaten this entire week, you guys, I wake up, drink, drink some energy. Like, literally, I had these. Accelerator delivered some of their energy drinks to our Airbnb. So nice. Because I was like, living off of those and, like, little nibbles because I feel like all these events had like, oh, like, here's a cute little tiny sandwich the size of your palm. It's like, I want a cheeseburger, I want a piece of pizza. But I didn't get that until this dinner. So they fed us and it was so good. And then after that, we ended up heading to the Sports Illustrated party. So this is one of the parties that I feel like every year of the super bowl, it's like, quote unquote, the party to go to. Okay. And I'm just happy I was invited. Okay. So I was invited with Isaac. We also took our agent along as well, and it was so much fun. It was in this huge building where they usually store the Mardi Gras floats, I think. I don't know what I think it was called, like, the float building or something. But, like, there was a building inside of the building, but then the sky made it seem like you were outside. It was kind of trippy. And that's where we saw so many people again, like, high school reunion vibes. Except this night, a lot of the NFL players flew out after the NFL honors. And so I feel like now it was just people who were going to the game. People like family that was part of the team. You. Yeah, all of that, like. Like, all the extra NFL players are not going to the Football game. Okay. I mean, some are, but some aren't. Okay? So we go to this SI party. We're hanging out. There's like a bachelor table. There's influencer table. Like, there are so many people. And it was so enjoyable. Okay? I had the time of my life this night, and I didn't drink the entire time. Okay? I felt drunk just because I was living off accelerator and vibes, and that's about it. So I was exhausted. But this was the first night that I was like, you know what? I've been here this. In this whole week. Like, if I'm gonna have a drink, I'm gonna have a drink here. So had. I think I had two drinks, and I was like, I feel drunk. But I knew I was. I was like, I think I'm just tired. Stayed out until 4am if you get up at 4am Your child doesn't know that you got home at 4am they're like, I'm still getting up at 7. So if you get home at 12am, 2am, 4am Your child is still gonna wake up the next day and be like, hey, mommy, good morning. Like, wake up. I say that like, my daughter's speaking in full sentences, you guys. She's one. So after I got home that night, I was like, I need McDonald's immediately in my stomach. I need to, like, go to slee a full tummy. And this was the first day we actually got to sleep in, was super bowl day. I think we didn't have to leave our house until like, 1:30 or whatever. We went to a tailgate. So the super bowl has these intense tailgates that literally look like, I don't know, a lot of money is poured into them. Like, Post Malone was at this tailgate. So YouTube through the tailgate, and there was Post Malone there. There were a few other cool artists. And then in this YouTube tailgate were a few other influencers and creators. Whatever you guys want to call it, whatever makes you feel better to call them. Okay. I've never referred to myself as an influencer. I only say content creation because I feel like I try to make my content, like, relatable, enjoyable. I hope to make people laugh or at the very least make them feel, like, not alone or, I don't know, bring them out of their day. So I like to call myself a content creator. But, yeah, I'm like, me trying to, like, make the excuse like, influencers are and content creators are different. I'm like, are they different? Maybe? I feel like there's a Little bit of a difference. Like, there's like, fashion girlies who are fully influencers and like, I'm not. I'm not. I try. I try really hard with my fashion. I just don't know. That always comes across. I placed a revolve order, like Friday and overnighted it because I was like, I did not pack enough. Anyways, Super. So super bowl tailgate. That was so much fun. Getting to hang out with, like, these creators that you're mutuals with that, like, you're like, do you actually know that I exist? And then we went to the super bowl, and that was the first time I'd ever been to the Caesars Superdome. I actually have a. I have a tick tock. I need to edit about that because it was my first time in the Caesar Super. Super Dome. And whenever I go to a new stadium, I always like to try a bunch of their food. Gonna say food wasn't the best. Had so much fun at the football game. Okay, that was like, such a fun football game. But towards the fourth quarter, I was like, okay, I'm kind of bored because it was such a blowout. I don't like blowout games. I like games that are like, you have one second to throw the ball 50 yards. That's the kind of games that I like. But I do think that the Eagles played really well. So, like, they kind of deserved it. I feel like there's been like, a. Like, a lot of Kansas City Chiefs players coming out and being like, oh, like, I take responsibility for this. Yada, yada, yada. I'm like, you guys, it's literally a sport. Like, I feel like so many people are hard on these players. So that's just like an interesting. I'm like, why am I being so nice? No, I'm so happy for the Eagles that they won, okay? Because they really did deserve it. So after. Oh, wait. I have to say this because I don't know how the super bowl halftime looked on tv, but in person, I don't really enjoy it. I'm gonna be very honest. I did not really enjoy it. I think it was a little bit more like everybody that I've talked to said on tv, it looked like so much fun and vibey and it was like, like, lit the stadium. I was like. But also I was facing the. I was facing their backs. So, like, they were showing this, like, super bowl performance to the people on the side across from us. So maybe that's why I didn't fully enjoy it. Maybe I also just, like, have adhd and I just wasn't paying attention. But watching all these clips online, I'm like, wait, I'm enjoying the super bowl halftime performance more now on TikTok than I did in person. I gotta say, my favorite super bowl performance to date, Rihanna. She also announced she was pregnant. So I feel like it's, like, gonna be really hard to top that. Didn't somebody during a halftime performance, like, show their boob on accident? I think that happened. Was it Janet Jackson? I don't remember. Okay, now that we've talked about the entire super bowl week. Super bowl, we can get to the haunted house. And you guys, I just ran out of space on my SD cards, so I always thought that these solo episodes were so hard, but somehow I'm. I've been talking. If you like these episodes, let me know. If you hate them, keep it to yourself, because I'm sensitive. Let's talk about the haunted house real quick. Overall, I have to say, very, very grateful for this house. It was so incredible to have an Airbnb in the city of New Orleans. It was like the architecture of the house was beautiful. The house was very untouched. And the owner of the house said that she wanted to keep it that way. So the only things that had been renovated were the bathrooms and the kitchen. And then they had painted the walls. Like, the windows were original. Like, some of even, like, the bathroom and kitchen stuff was original. There's a lot of stuff that was original. Okay. And I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I think it's great. But I think that some things were a little unsafe, which is probably why my heel fell through the floor. So let me back it up for a second. So while we were at the super bowl tailgate, my agent. Which sounds way bougier than it is. No, it sounds pretty fucking bougie. I'm like, I have an agent. What else would I call her? I had somebody on my team. That even sounds bad because, like, how many people do you on your team anyways? Okay. Somebody got a text message from my glam girl. So I have. In terms of quote, unquote, glam, I have somebody who does my makeup and somebody who does my hair. And the girl who does my hair. Her name is Becca. She's incredible. The girl who does my makeup is Alyssa. Like, I'll give him a shout out because it made me feel like I was hot this entire weekend. But while we were at the tailgate before the Super Bowl, I became aware that Becca, my hair girl, got a ticket somehow to The super bowl for free. And she was like, well, I'm obviously gonna go. But she was like, I don't really have anywhere to stay. Like, this person said I could stay, like, in their room, but, like, it's him and his girlfriend, so that's kind of weird. And so she was texting my agent, asking her if she knew of any influencers that had their hotel room booked for that night, but, like, had end up leaving early for some reason. And I heard this and I was like, oh, she can stay at our Airbnb. Like, we have an extra room because it's a three bedroom house. My sister was there. Whatever. I was like, oh, she can totally stay with us. Like, tell her to go drop her stuff off at the house. Because she was supposed to fly out that day. She was not planning to go to the Super Bowl. So she found out she was going to the super bowl literally three hours before the super bowl, which is kind of, like, sick. So she went to my house, dropped off her stuff, and she was planning on sleeping in the third bedroom. Spoiler alert. She didn't sleep in the third bedroom. She slept in bed with my sister because of some information we found out. So after the super bowl, we all get back to the house, we all order some food. I was like, I want a beignet in my mouth immediately after super bowl. Like, before we were leaving. And the next morning we were going to be waking up at like 4am if you've ever wanted to see an insanely busy airport, go to the airport the day after the super bowl in the city of where the super bowl was held. It's insane. So Isaac and I, we were like, we need the first flight out of here because we want to get home, get situated, like, get back into our routine before a very busy week of moving. I was planning to go to sleep at like, 10:30, 11. Absolutely not. I was up until 1am researching all these stories because some stuff came to light. So again, the house is beautiful. I'm grateful. But the originality of the home, like, the fact that all the home, the whole home had, like, its original character, all that original. There were just some parts of the house that I was like, is that not working because it's original or is that not working because it's haunted? I just heard a noise. Oh, my God, I'm terrified. I'm literally in New York City, like, so far away from this house. I'm like, it's following me. So there was like, a staircase in the back of the house that we were on the top level. I don't know where the staircase led to, but they blocked it off. But there was a light always on upstairs, and I swear I heard noises up there. Okay. Another thing is, like, doors would just open again. It could be. It could just be the fact that the house is a little bit older. I was so scared. I believe. I believe in the paranormal stuff. Okay? So I was a little terrified. But we were. We were all sitting down on the couch and, like, the TV turned on or something, and. No, that was the first night. But we were talking about the TV had. That had turned on. And so I was telling Becca, oh, you can, like, sleep in this third room. She goes, I think I'm gonna sleep on the couch. And my sister was like, no, I don't want to sleep alone. Like, you need to sleep in my room now. So everyone's scared. Okay? Isaac's like, you guys, stop. Like, you're being dramatic. Like, whatever. But then we do a little research, and I'm not gonna say too much, because I don't want to give. I don't. I don't want to do. I don't know. I don't want to piss off the spirits. We were doing some information. Like, there was, like, history of the house, and, like, also the house behind our house was a. It looked abandoned, but there was a door. There was a window that had a small door in the center of the window. Like, a small one. Like, a. Like, maybe a foot. And it was closed the entire time until last night. And then it was open. No. No, thank you. Absolutely not. No, thank you. Also, one of the mornings, I don't know if it was the host, but somebody was downstairs, somebody who's fully downstairs. And I called down and go, emily. And then nobody responded. So I ran back into my room, and I waited 30 minutes, and then I came downstairs. It could be the host, because she said she was dropping off, like, baked goods or something. I guess I won't know to this day. Just like the guy who was famous at the New Heights party. I guess I'll just never know. So the house was haunted. Okay. Didn't get much sleep that night. Woke up the next morning. Oh, my gosh. Is there a. I was, like, a tired hangover. Anyways. I had so much fun. That was the craziest week. And I was just so ready to get home. Literally, the day I got home, me and Scotty just laid in bed. I, like, brought books into bed, and we were just reading. We ate snacks in bed. It was so cozy. And, like, I love getting to spend that time with her and, like, cuddle and snuggle. And it's sad again because now I'm away from her again. But I go back to see her tomorrow, and then I have another trip. Gosh, I always say that, and then something happens. I don't have another trip away from her. Another one planned this year. So, anyways, that is it for Super Bowl. Wow. I can really fucking talk. If you guys like these episodes again, let me know and I can record more. Next week, Isaac and I are going to be coming out with a part two to his retirement episode. We'll be giving you guys updates on the house and moving in. I haven't seen the house in, like, like two weeks, and I don't plan to see the house until we officially get the keys. And our interior design team is doing, like, a staging, so they're putting all the furniture in. They're, like, doing a final layer of, like, cute stuff. And I'm so excited. So I'm like, I'm not going to the house. I'm not going to the house. But, like, everything is done. They had a cleaning crew there today just, like, cleaning up the sawdust, like, inside the cabinets. And I'm like, I. It doesn't comprehend that this is our house. So next episode, Isaac and I are going to sit down, like, talking about the moving process and, like, what we're looking forward to and also where Isaac is going next with his career. I feel like that's a huge thing and maybe a little bit of tea, you know, because I feel like we were supposed to give that in the last retirement episode and we didn't get to it because I like to talk. So with that being said, I hope you guys enjoyed. I am going to go chug this accelerator and get some more work done. Even though it's about to be dark out or it is dark out. It's like six, man. It gets dark early. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this episode. And in the next few weeks, I'll be uploading a Q A episode. So if you guys aren't following the Instagram, head over to Sunday Sports Club Podcast Instagram. Make sure you're following there. And with that being said, I hope you enjoyed and I look forward to seeing you next Sunday. Bye, guys.

Sunday Sports Club Podcast: Recapping Super Bowl Week Host: Allison Kuch | Produced by Dear Media | Release Date: February 16, 2025
In this episode, Allison Kuch takes listeners through an exhilarating journey of her Super Bowl week, interweaving personal anecdotes with the high-energy events surrounding the big game. Balancing her roles as a content creator, wife to retired NFL player Isaac Kuch, and a new mother, Allison sets the stage by sharing her relentless "Type B" personality and her struggle to balance saying yes to every opportunity.

She touches upon the chaos of their constant travels, mentioning her current stint in New York City and the imminent move back to California, highlighting the whirlwind nature of her life.
Allison delves into the intricacies of Super Bowl week, describing it as an "insanely busy" period that extends well beyond the game day itself. Drawing a parallel to a high school reunion, she emphasizes the vast network of friendships and acquaintances built over seven years of following Isaac's NFL career.
“Allison: “I like to describe the week leading up to the Super Bowl as like a high school reunion, but for the NFL.” [10:15]

Allison candidly discusses the guilt associated with balancing work commitments and motherhood, highlighting the support of her sister in managing Scotty during their hectic schedule.

She also explores the dynamics of content creation within the NFL community, interacting with influencers, brands, and fellow NFL families, further complicating her already full plate.
Allison recounts various events attended during Super Bowl week, painting a vibrant picture of the networking and social interactions that define the experience.

“Allison: “I was able to record a podcast with Kansas City chief's wife Jackie Tranquil and Philadelphia Eagles wife Nikki Mylada.” [40:00]
Adding a touch of the supernatural to her narrative, Allison shares her unsettling experience with their Airbnb in New Orleans. Despite the house's charm and historical architecture, strange occurrences like doors opening by themselves and unexplained noises added an eerie layer to their stay.
“Allison: “The house was haunted. I was so scared.” [55:10]
This segment not only provides a gripping personal story but also underscores the unpredictable nature of travel and hosting during such a busy week.
The pinnacle of the week, the Super Bowl game, is vividly described with Allison expressing mixed feelings about the outcome and the overall atmosphere. While she celebrates the Eagles' victory, she also critiques the nature of blowout games.
“Allison: “I'm so happy for the Eagles that they won... they really did deserve it.” [65:20]
Her take on the halftime show is equally honest, admitting her lack of enthusiasm compared to the widespread acclaim it received on television.
