In this hilarious and heartfelt classic episode, Brad kicks things off by admitting he once fell asleep mid-conversation with his wife—an elite level of marital confidence. He’s joined by sports journalist Allison Mastrangelo, who somehow survived growing up in a family-owned shoe store (where foot odor was just part of the décor) and parlayed that experience into a career covering the Super Bowl. They dive into the weird world of press conferences, awkward locker room interviews, and the fine art of pretending the teleprompter didn’t just betray you on live TV. Allison shares stories from her high school surf team days, proving you can be chill and chase deadlines. Together, they tackle journalism’s biggest truths: the industry is wild, relationships matter, and yes, you absolutely should "shoot your shot"—unless it’s a half-court one during a live segment, then maybe don’t.
