A four game win streak has come to an end,

0:07

but the Washington football team is still very

0:09

much in playoff contention. I'm Jane

0:11

Kenny and joining me as always Stephane

0:13

Jokin and Jamine Samuel's And this

0:15

is the whow brought to you by Fresh Fine

0:17

Wine, Washington, Fault Heart, and Sell

0:20

Short. But it's not over yet. Most

0:22

definitely, it is not over

0:24

yet. It never is with the Washington football team.

0:27

But coming up later on Wow, it is

0:29

our home field. We are going to

0:31

talk to Brianna Way, the Washington

0:33

football team punter's Truss Way's wife.

0:36

Such an amazing conversation. You definitely

0:38

want to stick around for that one. And then we

0:40

also have congratulations

0:42

in order as it relates to the Pro

0:44

Bowl for twenty twenty one. Yeah,

0:46

that's right. We want to say congrats to Brandon

0:49

Sheriff and Chase Young, both voted

0:51

into Pro Bowl twenty twenty one. Yeah.

0:55

I have to say so exciting. In two

0:57

thousand and four, I represented the first ladies

0:59

of football at the Pro Bowl, So this is

1:02

such an amazing honor and I'm

1:04

super excited for the two of them. Then

1:06

let's not forget to mention that the Chase

1:08

Young is the youngest in the Washington's

1:11

franchise history to be voted in, so huge

1:13

congratulations are in order for both of them.

1:15

Let's quickly talk about the Seattle

1:17

game. Well, my thought is we already

1:20

knew Seattle was going to be a tough team. They've been

1:22

the playoffs the last eight years. But

1:24

we held them to twenty points,

1:27

which shows us even more that we are

1:29

on our way as a team. I

1:31

think this law still shows that we

1:33

are building something here at Washington Football

1:36

most definitely. And you know, we knew Russell

1:38

Wilson was it was going to be a difficult one

1:40

and he showed his skills,

1:43

but we did our best to hold them and like you

1:45

said, held them to just twenty points. But

1:47

ultimately, I feel like the turnovers are

1:49

really what kind of hurt us in this game. And

1:52

we just again started too

1:55

slow at the very beginning of the game. I mean,

1:57

we obviously turned it up during

1:59

the second half, but it was at that point too late.

2:02

Yeah, and we need, you know, we need our offense

2:05

to show up. Defense can go out there

2:07

and score two touchdowns like they have, they can't always

2:09

come through. They're very good, but they can't.

2:11

They can't be the one thing that we rely on. So we really

2:14

need our offense to show up as we

2:16

head into the Panthers game. And speaking

2:18

of that, coach Ron Rivera's proudly announced that

2:20

this team is relevant again, and I

2:22

believe the league agrees with that that if

2:24

you haven't heard, the game has moved from the one pm

2:27

spot to the four PM spot. It is Showdown

2:29

Sunday. This game is huge.

2:32

There is a lot on the line. Check

2:34

out what coach Ron Rivera said about his former

2:36

team and this organization right now. It's more

2:38

important than than you

2:40

know, my personal uh situation.

2:43

And I mean that because we got

2:45

you know, we got fifty three guys downstairs and

2:48

a group of coaches that you know, we

2:50

want to get into the playoffs. They want to get into playoffs

2:53

them and we want to do it for them and for

2:55

us. So we have to focus in on the game. Like

2:57

he said, this is not a revenge game.

3:00

But we all know when you're playing against

3:02

your former employer, if you're seeing your X

3:05

whatever it, maybe you want to show them

3:07

what they are missing out on. So he might

3:09

say that, but this game, even

3:11

if clenching the division wasn't on the line.

3:14

This is a huge game. It is a huge

3:16

game, and you know, just another thought

3:18

how he said, we just need to win our games

3:21

and control our own destiny. I'm

3:23

ready for us to go to the playoffs. I'm

3:25

ready for Giants to lose to the Ravens and

3:28

possibly even play the Bucks or even

3:30

would be better face off with Seattle again

3:32

to beat their butts. And this Sunday,

3:34

if they play without Christian McCaffrey

3:37

as they have for much of this year, I think that opens

3:39

up more opportunities for us as well. Yeah,

3:42

and I think just at the end of the day, we're going to go in

3:44

extremely excited about this. We need to grab

3:47

the win. I feel like the team is going to

3:49

kind of rally behind coach Rivera and want

3:51

to get this win for him. And I know

3:53

it's not revenge, but like you said, like when

3:55

you see your X or when you see you

3:57

know that girl that's been hating on you, you want to

3:59

look your best, you want to show out, you want to

4:01

show up. And I think at the same time that's going to

4:03

be the case for the Washington football team. They really

4:06

want to make sure that not only this team

4:08

but all teams really understand and know that just

4:10

because we lost last weekend doesn't mean that we're

4:12

a losing team, and that we're here to fight and we're

4:14

here to claim our spot. And I think that

4:16

that's what's going to happen, and

4:19

it would just be such a full circle

4:22

moment and such a great little end to

4:24

the season just to clench

4:26

the NFC East title against

4:28

the Carolina Panthers. I mean, with everything

4:31

that's happened this year, this is just such a story

4:33

book ending and it's really going to be a big

4:35

game. But I have no doubts.

4:37

I really think, like you said, that the team

4:40

they enjoy We've seen it, they enjoy it being the

4:42

underdog. They enjoy the pressure, and they have

4:44

no quit in them. They have zero quit.

4:47

And you know, if they're gonna they're gonna come

4:49

with that revenge, they're gonna come with wanting to

4:51

taste that victory and to prove everybody wrong

4:53

and to prove that they're relevant. So I really think

4:55

that we're going to get it, and that we're gonna have a lot to

4:58

be excited for and sell right now, only

5:00

because it's the holidays, but to be celebrating being

5:02

at number one in the nfc US and going into playoffs.

Welcome to well Home Field, brought to you by

6:56

Fresh Fine Wine. Today we have joining us

6:58

Sprian Away, the wife of Watchington football

7:00

hunter Truss Way. Brianna was born

7:03

and raised in southern California and attendant college

7:05

at the University of Oklahoma, where she met her

7:07

husband, Trust isn't the only one

7:09

that can fall. Brianna was a two

7:11

sports start Oklahoma, a defender for the Sooners

7:13

soccer team and an outfielder for the schools softball

7:16

team. She played in three College World Series, was

7:18

a second team All American, and was drafted

7:20

ninth over on twenty thirteen National

7:23

Pro Fast Pitched Draft. She's

7:25

a registered nurse, but put her career on Paul stay

7:27

at home with her three under three, I

7:29

repeat three under three, beautiful

7:31

children, Bo, Harper and Hadley. Wow,

7:34

I'm sure you're not busy at all, Brianna, Now,

7:39

just ample time. I'm sure right,

7:42

she's our next draft pick. Well,

7:46

Brianna, welcome to the Wow. We

7:48

joked that you're a little nervous and we

7:51

want to just tell you have nothing to worry about. So

7:53

to ease those nerves and

7:55

just to kind of ease on into it, We're gonna start with

7:57

a quick game of this or that, playing

8:00

Truss or Brianna. You game do

8:02

it? Okay? First question? Who

8:05

is better at ping pong? Oh?

8:08

Triss, I'm terrible. I'm

8:11

so bad. I've tried and I just

8:14

hit it off the table every time. So

8:17

yes, definitely him. All

8:19

right, and then we heard through the rumorville

8:22

that you all like the Bachelorette?

8:25

So who likes the Bachelorette more? Wow?

8:29

I'm not sure about that one because I would

8:31

say me, But then I mean

8:33

Triss recently has been like, hey,

8:35

are we watching the Bachelorette tonight? So

8:39

I don't know. I've been watching it for longer, so

8:41

I think I'm going to give that one to me, But trist

8:44

is pretty close. He's a

8:46

close second. Got it all

8:48

right? So I know it's COVID, So this is conningbird,

8:51

But normally, which one of you loves nights

8:53

in instead for date night? Oh?

8:56

Um? Probably me? I

8:59

love I would just love sitting

9:01

downstairs watching a movie cuddling

9:04

up. And I mean he enjoys

9:06

that too, but he definitely likes to go out

9:08

and do things. So yep,

9:12

so we've heard you give him some pep talks, so

9:15

we want to know who talks more football at home.

9:19

As funny as this sounds, we don't talk a ton

9:22

of football. He's

9:24

really really great about kind

9:26

of leaving it out like

9:29

on the field, if I mean good

9:31

games, bad games. Obviously we talk about it a

9:33

little bit, but I wouldn't

9:35

say that we talk much about football at

9:40

the house, at least I mean with my

9:42

kids now that they're getting a little bit older

9:44

to understand it's fun to like watch

9:46

the TV and be like, there's daddy

9:49

and like we get to talk about that. But other

9:52

than that, I mean, we don't talk

9:54

too much about it, which is probably surprising,

9:57

but yeah, I don't know, that's just kind

9:59

of how we do it. Wait, I

10:01

have to add something you need who who

10:03

laughed more about his tackle at

10:05

the last game? Oh my gosh,

10:09

Um, I don't know. It's more of what

10:11

what are you doing? Why did you do that? He's

10:14

like, I'm not gonna allow to go come on, but

10:18

no, we always joke with them about that stuff.

10:20

We're like, come on, you're a hunter. You don't need to be tackling

10:22

people here. So

10:25

that's awesome. But he's a team player

10:28

too, so yeah, I respected

10:30

it, So kudos. It's find

10:32

to watch. But I definitely am like, whoa, you

10:34

better be careful now, All

10:40

right now, we mentioned it earlier. Three

10:42

kids under three, Um, you

10:44

all nail kind of top football with the

10:46

kids. But let's let's let's keep it real.

10:48

Who is like more strict on the

10:51

kiddos. Honestly, me, um,

10:55

I think I am. Um,

10:57

he kind of just I

11:00

don't know. I think he was raised more like

11:02

in a family that was very open

11:05

to like, oh, whatever, it's good, it will it's

11:07

fine. They broke this, it's fine, And I'm like, no,

11:10

wait, why did you just why did

11:12

you just throw this and hit the wall

11:15

and make a dent in it? Like, I

11:17

don't know. I'm probably definitely more of

11:19

the strict one, but he

11:21

laighs down the law, but I'm usually

11:24

the one that's kind of like, no, we're

11:26

not going to do that right the

11:29

law, but you actually enforce it. Got

11:35

we're gonna go back to college here? Who

11:37

got better grades? I definitely

11:40

didst

11:44

trust. He is so funny

11:46

because he's so smart, and he

11:48

was just like, all right, I just need

11:50

a sea to pass, so like

11:53

that's kind of what I'm gonna get. But um

11:55

and me, I kind of had to do good because

11:57

I wanted to go to nursing school afterwards, and

12:00

so I would have to say

12:02

me on that one, got it, Okay,

12:05

so we're gonna you made it through this or that. We're

12:07

gonna wrap up this little warm up round with a

12:09

question. You mentioned you guys are huge country

12:12

music fans, so I want to ask, what is

12:15

either you and trust this country song

12:17

or a song that you guys

12:19

enjoy with the family that's country. Wow,

12:22

Well, woot Cones has

12:25

so many hits right now, so we're really into

12:27

glut Cones right now. I'm trying

12:29

to think for

12:31

our first stance for our wedding, we did Damn

12:34

Baby by Florida Georgia Line, which

12:36

so I think that probably would be considered

12:38

our songs. Yeah,

12:40

a good choice.

12:44

And now much shift gears a little bit. This

12:46

is obviously our holiday

12:48

episode, and so I just I'm kind

12:50

of curious. I mean, you have a growing family,

12:53

there's probably tons of fun and laughter

12:55

in the house, So what are your holiday

12:57

traditions? What do you all do? And I would say, like

13:00

pre covid, like you know, obviously

13:02

this year is going to be different for us all,

13:05

but what does just the typical Christmas

13:07

and the holiday season look like in your home? So

13:09

we actually stole this one from

13:11

the McCoy's, but

13:14

we call it thirty for thirty and so we

13:16

all go into Target and we have

13:18

thirty dollars and thirty minutes

13:21

to fill up a stocking and

13:23

it's actually really funny because we

13:25

are allowed to use like our Target gift

13:28

or our Target cards where like it gets

13:30

five percent off, and so

13:32

if you don't have one, I mean, that kind of stinks.

13:34

But anyway, it's actually funny

13:37

because last year Tress

13:39

went right over the thirty dollars

13:42

and if you go over, our rule is that

13:44

you have to exchange or take

13:46

something back, and so he

13:49

had to return a pack of gum because

13:51

he went right over thirty dollars.

13:53

So it's just it's fun

13:55

because we get really competitive of like who

13:58

got closer to thirty dollars, and then

14:00

it's also hilarious when you see

14:03

someone just like in

14:05

the return return

14:08

area returning something like gum. So

14:11

that's one of our traditions that pre

14:14

COVID we usually had family come

14:16

in town for that, but

14:18

now I think we're just gonna have to stick to us

14:20

to this year. So that's

14:23

so funny. Yes, so we

14:25

heard that Trust came up with his own trivia

14:27

game. Can you explain that? Okay?

14:30

So Trust is probably one

14:32

of the most creative people

14:34

I've ever met. Honestly, it's crazy. He

14:36

can come up with like even with our kids,

14:38

like comes up with the most fun

14:41

games just off the top of his head. It's so much

14:43

fun. But all

14:45

the guys like when in their free time,

14:48

they would just have trust. Like he

14:50

asked some questions. I think it started off with like

14:53

football or something, and he asked some

14:55

of his teammates some questions, and

14:57

they just kept asking him all the time,

14:59

like, hey, dude, give me another question, give me another

15:01

question. And he's like all about like

15:04

fun twenty four to seven. So he would

15:06

look up on his downtime at

15:08

the facility just all these random

15:11

questions and it ended up turning into like this

15:13

board game and we got it made

15:15

and then they did like a segment on ESPN

15:18

and it sold out in like one minute.

15:20

It was so awesome. But yes,

15:22

so yes, he did make a game.

15:25

And we sometimes will get texts from

15:27

family or friends and been like, oh, we're

15:29

playing the game tonight. So but it's

15:31

really fun. So are y'all

15:33

making more games? If it's sold bad? Oh,

15:38

he's kind of now with all the football

15:40

stuff. It took a lot of time to do

15:42

that, and so one of his best friends is

15:44

helping him out, but they haven't got anything

15:47

set now. We do have a few games,

15:50

but I don't really quite know

15:53

his plan. I think I try and push

15:55

him to be like, Okay, come on, just like make

15:57

some more games, and I think he's just I

16:00

don't know. He's like, hey, we have a family

16:02

now, and just takes so much

16:04

time up So we'll see what he ends up doing.

16:06

But you're

16:08

a little business weird now, it's

16:11

a little bit busy. Oh

16:14

well, Brianna. I've been cheering for six seasons,

16:16

and one of my most distinct game day

16:19

memories, which just feels like game day, is hearing them say

16:21

trust Way punts it away, Like I can't imagine

16:23

a game day without hearing that. I

16:25

just want to ask you, like, it's been a really weird year

16:27

obviously and just a different, unprecedented

16:29

football season. What do game days look

16:32

like for you right now? For

16:35

man? For us, we I

16:39

have a ritual with the kids now, we get game

16:41

day donuts, So in the morning I take them

16:43

to Dunkin Donuts and we usually

16:46

will talk about like, oh, Daddy's gonna

16:48

play on TV. I always getting prepared, you

16:50

know. I don't really think they quite

16:53

understand, but sometimes when

16:55

they show his face, they're like wait, that's

16:58

dad. But at first

17:00

they like anytime someone would kick a

17:02

ball, they had thought it was trust so

17:05

but now I just kind of like prep

17:07

them, like, Okay, Daddy's about to kick it, and

17:09

I try to keep them up

17:11

for at least one punt before I put

17:14

them down for a nap. But sometimes that doesn't

17:16

work. But anyways, we just do that.

17:19

I always try and text Tress that we're

17:21

watching and good luck, and usually

17:23

I sent him a video of the kids saying

17:26

good luck to him and stuff. And then I

17:29

usually take that time to

17:31

watch the game and just sit on our couch

17:33

and watch it in peace

17:35

and quiet because I hardly ever get that.

17:37

So normally they're napping during

17:40

his game, so it kind of works out. Goods

17:43

up this week game moving to nap time

17:45

at fort but hopefully they'll be able

17:47

to watch it. Yeah, for sure. So

17:51

let's talk a little bit about that. Though. You had mentioned

17:54

in one of your responses for this or that

17:56

that you got the better grades because you were

17:58

looking to get into nursing, and now

18:00

obviously you've you know, kind of put that career path

18:02

on hold a little bit. You've made the decision, you know,

18:05

to be an amazing full time mom, which is

18:07

most definitely a full time job

18:09

in and of itself. We you know, I definitely

18:11

understand and know that just based off of my sisters

18:13

and friends. But how did you navigate

18:16

and make that decision to really just

18:18

decide, Hey, I'm gonna put you know, my

18:20

career on hold and really focused on

18:22

my family. What advice would you have for others

18:24

that might be struggling with that decision? Making

18:26

that decision that was hard for me because growing

18:28

up, my mom stayed home with

18:31

us, and some of my best memories

18:33

were when she was home with us, and

18:36

so I think I grew up kind of wanting

18:38

to stay

18:40

at home with the kids. And then

18:42

I started my dream job. I

18:44

loved it so much, and so I kind

18:46

of like, before we started thinking about having kids,

18:49

I was kind of like, maybe

18:52

I do want to stay working a little

18:54

bit, at least part time, Like I think it'd

18:56

be fun, and so

18:58

Trust and I just had really deep conversations

19:00

once I actually got pregnant, and

19:04

and I think ultimately we decided

19:07

like, right now, especially with

19:09

his schedule, me being at

19:11

home with the kids would just be best for

19:13

our lifestyle. And we get to go

19:15

home and see family, and if I was working,

19:18

I'd be a little bit tougher to do that. And

19:21

so I just think that, like I

19:24

truly believe that you are

19:26

where you're supposed to be for your family,

19:28

and whether that's at home with your

19:30

kids or you working, And

19:32

I think that just doing

19:34

the best at what you're doing in

19:36

that moment, Like I said, whether it's at

19:38

home with the kids or working, that's what's

19:41

best for your family. And I think just

19:43

having serious conversations with your

19:45

spouse about what you think is

19:47

best is kind

19:50

of I think the best way to go about it.

19:52

So yeah,

19:55

love that, love that advice, Like you are

19:57

where you're supposed to be, and that's you know,

20:00

perfect timing, and that's exactly where you're supposed

20:02

to be. Absolutely like that. I

20:04

know we're running out of time, So I think

20:06

I just have one last question for you. I

20:09

like what you said, and so if you had a

20:11

chance to tell your younger self something,

20:14

what advice would you give your younger self? Wow,

20:20

life definitely doesn't look

20:23

like you thought it would. I always

20:26

look at trust and say, if you

20:28

would have looked at me and told me, like

20:31

we're gonna get married, moved to Virginia,

20:34

like what and didn't

20:36

have twins, and

20:40

then another one shortly after.

20:43

I probably would have cracked up in his

20:45

face and then like, no, you're lying.

20:47

You know. It's just crazy, like life,

20:50

never way that you envision

20:53

it, but it always ends up working

20:55

out and being so much better than

20:57

you could have ever possibly imagine.

21:00

And I'm just thankful that, like

21:04

how how our life ended up, I'm

21:06

just so thankful for it because I probably

21:09

it probably would have scared me out of

21:11

making decisions if I knew what was ahead

21:13

of me. So but

21:15

that's probably the advice I would get myself.

21:18

I love it. You have such a light when

21:21

you talk about your family and him, so it's

21:23

beautiful, beautiful. Thank you

21:25

23:48

We are heading into a holiday edition

23:51

of Overtime. Happy Holiday

23:53

to all of our while listeners, and I thought

23:55

it'd be fun to kick

23:57

it off with a couple holiday questions for my co host.

24:00

I totally missed the memo when wearing the

24:02

Tacki holiday sweaters, but I'm

24:04

in green set up again. I

24:07

wait, the bigger setup is that I

24:10

wasn't going for Tackie. But that's okay,

24:13

I think myself by saying a holiday

24:15

sweater, I was like, oh, shoot,

24:17

maybe that's just hot. Anyway,

24:21

let's just move right along. So

24:24

a couple of holiday questions I have, and I'll

24:26

start with you, Stephanie, to work on my brownie points.

24:29

What is your favorite

24:31

way to spend the holidays? Oh

24:33

my gosh, it's just time with family.

24:36

But the boys and I my sons, we watched

24:39

the classic Roodolf the Red Nosed Reindeer

24:41

movie every year. I can't. I just love

24:43

the island of the Misfit toys, the

24:45

elf who wants to be a dentist instead of

24:47

an elf are narrated

24:49

by burl Ives. It's such a classic and

24:51

we watch it every year and we love it. So that's

24:54

what we do, and then we make cookies for Santa, and

24:56

carrots are given for the reindeer. I

24:59

have a fun fact about that, and I'm

25:01

going to give a plug to Netflix. But my favorite

25:04

holiday movie is Elf. And if

25:06

you haven't seen it on Netflix, there is the

25:09

movies that made us and it kind of goes behind

25:11

the scenes and talks about the movies, and ELF was

25:13

actually based on loosely

25:16

on the classic Rudolph Rendo's

25:18

radio, so I you

25:21

haven't. If you're into documentaries and you want a holiday

25:23

spin on it, definitely check that out on Netflix.

25:26

But Ginie, what is your favorite way to spend the holidays?

25:29

Pretty much the same. It's all about family.

25:31

So I have two sisters on both of

25:33

them married with kids, so I am the favorite

25:36

aunt Nane that my nieces and nephews

25:38

fight over every holiday. So I actually

25:41

alternate. So every like

25:43

Christmas Eve, I'm at one sister's

25:45

house with their family and then

25:47

bring in Christmas with them, and

25:49

then I swap the following

25:52

Christmas. And I have to make sure that I do

25:54

a fair swap because my nieces and will

25:57

remind you, no, you were at Sadie's

26:00

last Christmas, we get you this Christmas.

26:02

So it's kind of fun. I'm being wanted

26:06

one Christmas Day and then after

26:08

like the big you know, Christmas Day, we

26:10

always go to my father's house in Richmond,

26:12

Virginia, and he cooks up a huge, huge

26:14

meal for all of us, and my father's side

26:16

of the family gathers there, and then

26:19

a couple days later we head north to Fredericksburg,

26:21

where my mom's side of the family is, so we end up

26:23

having you know, two to three to four,

26:25

you know, holiday meals on every

26:28

single Christmas. So I absolutely love it. I'm

26:31

gonna go to your house meals.

26:35

What about you, Jade, You didn't share what your

26:38

favorite holiday tradition is. So

26:41

my mom since

26:43

she was a little girl, I guess they always watched a

26:45

Christmas Story, which plays for twenty

26:47

four hours I think on as a TBS. So

26:49

I think my most distinct memory is

26:52

just always watching that with my family,

26:54

like literally for a full

26:57

day. And then we used to go to this old

26:59

general store that's recently closed

27:01

down, but it's an old general store in my hometown, and

27:03

everyone kind of gathers and sings Christmas

27:05

Carol. So it's a very special

27:07

memory and probably where like my love for entertainment

27:09

came from, because I would just be up there behind my mom, like

27:12

dancing on Christmas to White

27:14

Christmas, trying to get jazzy. But

27:17

this year, I'm sure, like many of us, it's going to look a little

27:19

different due to being safe

27:21

and healthy. So this year I actually will not be

27:23

traveling, so it'll be a different Christmas,

27:26

just trying to keep family safe. But

27:29

I'm this is the first year that I've been in my

27:32

new home, so I'll be making my first

27:34

year making my own Christmas traditions here in

27:36

my home, so it'll be different. But I

27:39

think, like we've said, this entire year twenty twenty

27:41

has really showed us what is important,

27:43

and you kind of strip everything down and people are being

27:45

vulnerable, and that is no different for Christmas.

27:48

My mom jokes that will celebrate next

27:50

weekend because Christmas can be any

27:52

day and any time of the year. It's just about being

27:54

with family. So like it's such a

27:56

good point for everyone to remember because

27:58

I know, you know, like I said, what I always look

28:00

forward to is seeing all of my family, and it's the exact

28:03

same for us, Like I am going to my sister's house

28:05

in Richmond, but then we're only having

28:07

a small group of people at my dad's and that's

28:09

it. And so we just have to remember

28:11

that, you know, not this this year, but

28:13

we have next year and the next year after that. And to your

28:15

point, we can celebrate Christmas in March if we

28:17

want to. Yep. Absolutely,

28:20

I'm keeping the tree up. I might keep the tree up all

28:22

year, maybe Christmas all well,

28:26

seventy Speaking of ways to get

28:28

back in the holidays, is there anything at WOW? How's going

28:30

on? Sure? So Washington Football

28:33

is doing the Season of Giving and so one

28:35

of the things that WOW is getting behind is

28:37

nominate your hero of twenties twenty

28:40

and so there's a form that you can fill out, but

28:42

just who helped you through this year. It

28:44

could be a first responder,

28:47

it could be your mom, it could be anybody, But who

28:49

helped you get through this year? Who is the unsung

28:51

hero of twenty twenty? And then of course

28:53

we're doing a pledge to play for

28:55

our game coming up. You can pledge

28:58

one to fifty dollars for any amazing

29:00

play that we do, which will do many. So

29:02

if you want to wait and see how we do before

29:05

you pledge, you have until eleven fifty

29:07

nine on the evening of the twenty seven so

29:10

great things that we're doing as Washington Football.

29:13

I love that you can nominate you

29:15

know, any hero, like anyone that is

29:17

a hero to you and to your part, because

29:20

I say, I think sometimes we forget that you can be

29:22

a hero to someone else. You don't have to be

29:25

in the military or be a policeman

29:27

or you know. So like for me, it's definitely

29:30

my dad. He's, you know, one of my best friends,

29:32

and I go to him and probably talk to him to think about

29:34

things that he really doesn't want to hear about.

29:37

And then for twenty twenty, I have to say

29:39

Jay, Like, my boyfriend, Jay has really

29:41

gotten me through COVID

29:44

and being home alone because he's been

29:46

able to come and spend time with me here and

29:48

it's just been nice to have, you

29:51

know, your best friend kind of in the house with

29:53

you, even if you're doing absolutely

29:55

nothing. Yep,

29:58

so true. Yeah, And I'm going to nominate

30:01

both of you and Stevie because having this

30:03

podcast has been something that has definitely

30:05

gotten me through Just to have this weekly even

30:07

virtually, just have this weekly place to escape

30:10

and to talk about empowerment in the Washington football

30:12

team it is. It is definitely something that has

30:14

been a gift this year. With that

30:16

that's going to do it for us. Thank you so much for joining

30:18

the WOW connecting empower women through sports.

30:21

Huge thanks to our partner Fresh Fine Wine. Till
