Speaker 1: If somebody scores, I'm gonna piss my pants because I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be so excited and ready to burst. So yeah,
Speaker 1: it's all the emotions in one. Calm Down with Aaron
Speaker 1: and Carissa is a production of I Heart Radio. Oh
Speaker 1: I still have shipped my teeth. That's great. Perfect. I've
Speaker 1: already talked to Brian Table this morning at Jesus Early
Speaker 1: Bird Special. He's great. Oh my god. Good morning, and
Speaker 1: welcome to the Calm Down Podcast. You guys, We hope
Speaker 1: you everyone is doing well as you get ready for
Speaker 1: this holiday week. We are all over the place. I've
Speaker 1: got two games this week, Carissa has seventeen games this week.
Speaker 1: Prolsa studio and an interview with Patrick Mahomes were all
Speaker 1: over the place. She just dropped off her parents at
Speaker 1: the airport. Did you cry? No, I'm really I think
Speaker 1: I was just like, Okay, got gotta go. I gotta
Speaker 1: be back at love you guys. I usually do cry, though,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you who's going to cry more at
Speaker 1: these two dogs behind me because I've had seventy five
Speaker 1: walks a day from my parents. Yeah. To Aaron's point,
Speaker 1: we're recording this and Aaron has seven calls with the
Speaker 1: teams and whatnot. So this week is crazy for you
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving game, which every week is crazy for you. We're good.
Speaker 1: We was on my way back last night from again
Speaker 1: this is and I will pull back the curtain of
Speaker 1: all the things. Aaron's generosity where it's like when she
Speaker 1: can't do something, she's like, can you do it? Do
Speaker 1: you want to do it? So I love sitting down
Speaker 1: with any of these guys, Patrick Mahomes and whatnot. So
Speaker 1: Aaron again being amazing, It's like, well, I'm supposed to
Speaker 1: do it, but can you do it that? Anyways? I
Speaker 1: love that we have a the friendship but also the
Speaker 1: industry where it's like there's no competition. I get asked
Speaker 1: about this before, like, oh, how is that like working
Speaker 1: in the same It's not. There's no competition. Aaron sending
Speaker 1: me jackets for Green Bay, She's having me do interviews
Speaker 1: that she can't do. Like, it's just the best to
Speaker 1: be able to like share the same profession with you know,
Speaker 1: your best friend. Anyways, So we're running you can we
Speaker 1: be honest about the whole thing? Hold on, before we
Speaker 1: get into that, there's enough assholes. Let's be honest in
Speaker 1: this industry, they're just are There's a lot of people
Speaker 1: that aren't team players. There's a lot of people that
Speaker 1: are all about it for themselves. And I agree, it's
Speaker 1: just so refreshing to be like, hey, can't make Patrick mahomes.
Speaker 1: Can you do this? I mean, I wouldn't want it
Speaker 1: to go to anybody else but you. So it's like,
Speaker 1: let's yeah, it's just it is so nice. And you
Speaker 1: don't have to be a sports broadcaster. Probably feel that
Speaker 1: way about people that you work with. It's just nice
Speaker 1: to have somebody you get along with. I think they
Speaker 1: call that an ally. Oh if you right, that is right,
Speaker 1: but it's true, and it's just so I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's just refreshing. And I think that there's this perception
Speaker 1: of you know, being catty and all the set of bullship,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't exist here. And they're definitely in the business.
Speaker 1: We know there is that, but that's for a longer
Speaker 1: podcast and we have meetings to get to. But yesterday
Speaker 1: I was flying back with Dominique and you know, she
Speaker 1: was She's always so sweet like Jillian as we've talked about,
Speaker 1: to always you know, slept around everywhere with us. Uh,
Speaker 1: this and not thank god they have us, or thank
Speaker 1: thank god they have us. On the contrary, thank god
Speaker 1: we have them, or else this is what I would
Speaker 1: end up looking like, because we all know, without hair
Speaker 1: and makeup disaster. But she said something to me. She goes,
Speaker 1: she used to travel with Faith hill Um casual, good
Speaker 1: morning name drops. Yeah, she her, not me who used
Speaker 1: to travel and do Faith in Tim's makeup for their tour.
Speaker 1: And Faith would always say being busy means we have
Speaker 1: great opportunities, and so they would never complain. And it
Speaker 1: Domini said, we never complained, and she set the tone
Speaker 1: of like, if we're busy, that means we have great opportunities.
Speaker 1: So shere's the opportunities scale. So I need a full rundown.
Speaker 1: How let her listeners know how green Bay was. You
Speaker 1: looked so adorable. I want to know how cold you were.
Speaker 1: Tell us everything as you can. Pneumonia. This girl over
Speaker 1: here is the queen of Lambeau. I don't even know
Speaker 1: how many times you've been there. You've lost at this point,
Speaker 1: but it is a production. Okay. The I went running
Speaker 1: earlier in the day and I was like, oh, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be fine, Like I don't mind the cold whatever.
Speaker 1: Halfway through the run, and by that I mean five
Speaker 1: minutes into the run, I was like, this was a
Speaker 1: bad idea of my hearty exactly. My fingertips are frozen.
Speaker 1: And I say this with the utmost respect for anyone
Speaker 1: that can live there. I sat next to a woman
Speaker 1: yesterday and I had a connection through Minnesota, and I
Speaker 1: had to catch myself because I was like, why would
Speaker 1: anyone live here? And she's like, I live here, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, I don't mean that. I've
Speaker 1: done that so many times while I'm there, and you
Speaker 1: don't mean to hurt their feelings or like on their hometown.
Speaker 1: You're just like, I can't imagine this every single day
Speaker 1: of my life living exactly. I was like, I don't
Speaker 1: know how you do it. And she goes, oh, I
Speaker 1: have a house in Port of Ireda, and I was like, well,
Speaker 1: that's how you do it, because get me out of
Speaker 1: here in the winter. But it is so cold anyways,
Speaker 1: so Lambeau. But it's amazing And I don't have to
Speaker 1: tell anything anyone that is a sports fan, anyone that
Speaker 1: appreciates tradition. The very first time I went to Lamba
Speaker 1: was like whole it's like it's going to Augusta, it's
Speaker 1: going to the Master's going to the Derby. It's like
Speaker 1: those tent pole places. But it was very cold, and
Speaker 1: our producer spoon at the end. So we have like
Speaker 1: an hour postgame show, which we're on Amazon. It's streaming,
Speaker 1: like you're not like having to get to the local
Speaker 1: news time slot, so sometimes you have to fill and
Speaker 1: like why are we still out here? This is crazy,
Speaker 1: Like get us inside. And we were just like he's like,
Speaker 1: all right, time to talk about Jeff Saturday. I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: we're not gonna be alive on Saturday if we're still
Speaker 1: out here, Like let's keep it moving. But it was
Speaker 1: so fun. Happy for the Titans that they won, because
Speaker 1: you know they have a real chance. But I really
Speaker 1: wanted the Green Bay Packers to win, just because it
Speaker 1: was like the fans and like the whole vibe of
Speaker 1: being there and for the overall like landscape of the
Speaker 1: NFC North. I wanted them to still win and be
Speaker 1: in contention. But anyways, it was awesome. You sent me
Speaker 1: a million and one jackets. She gave me the body,
Speaker 1: the heat warmers, all the handwarms. I had a train
Speaker 1: out of you for wearing the vest. I saw in
Speaker 1: your fun little I G story montage. Who loves a
Speaker 1: good montage? So good the vest. I was so proud
Speaker 1: of you for putting it on. Didn't it help? Oh
Speaker 1: my god, I wish that they had I wish they
Speaker 1: had that on the body. Think of it like a
Speaker 1: crossing guard and you put it over your head and
Speaker 1: like velcrow thing. And the heat packs are in there.
Speaker 1: They're incredible. So Aaron gave me a whole kit. And
Speaker 1: then I had a sweet girl come up to me
Speaker 1: and she was like, the trainer wants me to give
Speaker 1: you this. It's like a bag of stuff, and it
Speaker 1: was Aaron had talked to the Green Bay trainers to
Speaker 1: give me more handwarmers. What a gal this one? But yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I was so appreciative of your care package because it
Speaker 1: came in handy. So what a time. You looked adorable.
Speaker 1: Jillian said that you look like Elsa and I was like,
Speaker 1: you so did um. I was very jealous that somebody
Speaker 1: you just looked beautiful. You look like a snow queen.
Speaker 1: And then it's like I was there saying to you
Speaker 1: before or after. It is just a real wake up
Speaker 1: call to me like, you can look very pretty and
Speaker 1: glamour in those outfits, and then cut to me on
Speaker 1: Sunday in New York. It's Wendy. I can't deal with
Speaker 1: my weaves, so I put this hat on. I looked
Speaker 1: like Ralphie's little brother Randy Christmas story. I look like
Speaker 1: a little kid. I've got my pom pom going. And
Speaker 1: there's you know, my best friend in Lamba in fifteen
Speaker 1: degrees and it's like, let us know, let I know,
Speaker 1: and let it go. But you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: But I was just like, God, there is a way
Speaker 1: to look sexy in your puffer and I just haven't
Speaker 1: gotten that memo yet. But I was such a proud mom.
Speaker 1: You would have thought I gave birth to you because
Speaker 1: I was like, everyone's in lubow and I want to
Speaker 1: hear all of that. It was like, yeah, for you,
Speaker 1: it was adorable. I was so appreciative of all your help.
Speaker 1: But you have to stand out there the entire game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Tony would die, by the way, Yeah exactly. You're very
Speaker 1: sweet to say that, I, you know, looked glamorous, which anything,
Speaker 1: but by the way, um, the pregame, halftime, post game,
Speaker 1: I'm in I'm out. You're out there for five hours
Speaker 1: and usually with a full freaking bladder. Especially at Lambeaux
Speaker 1: and I love Lambeau, there is not a toilet close
Speaker 1: to the field at all. Plus you're in seventeen layers
Speaker 1: of thermals and sweaters and disposable vests and no, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna sit here and I'm gonna be miserable. And the
Speaker 1: worst is when we had the Cowboys Packers and it
Speaker 1: went into overtime and I was like, if somebody scores,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna piss my pants because I'm gonna be so
Speaker 1: excited and ready to burst. So, yeah, it's all the
Speaker 1: emotions in one. Yeah, you're and it's weird how your
Speaker 1: body does that though You're like, okay, I can't go
Speaker 1: to the bathroom, so you're just not going to the bathroom.
Speaker 1: Do you ever have that where you wake up in
Speaker 1: the middle of the night and you know you need
Speaker 1: to peep, but you're like, I don't want to get
Speaker 1: up right now. Yes, Yeah, that's just had time. I
Speaker 1: came home last night, I had two seconds to see
Speaker 1: my parents and before they left this morning, and so
Speaker 1: I stayed downstairs and I fell asleep on the couch
Speaker 1: per usual. But I woke up in the middle of
Speaker 1: the night and I was like, I need to go
Speaker 1: to the bathroom, but I don't want to get up
Speaker 1: right now, and I'm lazy. I also do that on
Speaker 1: the plane. Yes, I do that too. I need to
Speaker 1: go to the bathroom. I'm so lazy. And then I
Speaker 1: pray to God. I don't piss myself, not that I
Speaker 1: normally do in bed. I don't, but it's just the
Speaker 1: one like it's a funny joke in your dream or
Speaker 1: like something, what if something scares you. It's always like, God,
Speaker 1: I hope it don't pee whatever. Your hair looks great. Straight.
Speaker 1: I don't see your hair straight a up. No, it's
Speaker 1: I mean, I think this is when it really shows
Speaker 1: how much it probably needs a trim and stuff. But
Speaker 1: they had a we had a conference call early this morning.
Speaker 1: When you have an early game, these coaches schedules are
Speaker 1: all screwed up, and we have the Giants and the
Speaker 1: Cowboys on Thanksgiving days. Yeah, it's gonna be great. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be fabulous. Brian Dable, first year head coach. I
Speaker 1: got to do a sit down with who I want
Speaker 1: to talk a little bit about. He likes to do
Speaker 1: his conference poltible. It's nine am there, so he did
Speaker 1: it five our time. I was like, hello, I got
Speaker 1: on and now we're doing these halls on zoom. So
Speaker 1: you're like trying to put a little bit of makeup on.
Speaker 1: Thank god, Kevin Burkhard didn't have a lot on. But
Speaker 1: so like I gotta tell you, I, I know you
Speaker 1: haven't had a chance to meet him, but a lot
Speaker 1: of our friends are friends with him. Peter Schreeger, Michael Strahan,
Speaker 1: Greg Olsen never got to meet him, got a chance
Speaker 1: to sit down with him. He's going to get my
Speaker 1: Calm Down Dream Award that I've just made up over
Speaker 1: the last I love that, Chris, You're going to die
Speaker 1: for this guy. I can't wait for you to meet him.
Speaker 1: He is a couple of things. I wrote it down
Speaker 1: in our call at five this morning. He's, you know
Speaker 1: they are They just had a crappy game against the Lions.
Speaker 1: He just said that they weren't happy with anything that
Speaker 1: they did. But I was just asking him about just
Speaker 1: the vibe of the team, and he's like, look, we
Speaker 1: know the challenge ahead. This is our big you know,
Speaker 1: kind of not piece of adversity. But what am I
Speaker 1: trying to say? Here? Uh, there's a fork in the road.
Speaker 1: There's there's you're up against it. You'll find out who
Speaker 1: you really are. And he goes and that's where leaders
Speaker 1: really have to come into play. And he was like,
Speaker 1: and that's my job right now. And he's like, I'm
Speaker 1: really big on positivity. He's like, it's all about positivity.
Speaker 1: I wrote that down and underlined it seven thousand times.
Speaker 1: Where are my notes? Oh my god? What did he say?
Speaker 1: This one? By the way, Well, Aaron looks for that.
Speaker 1: She's got great penmanship, and she's a list gal. This
Speaker 1: girl loves a list and she's very organized. I'm writing
Speaker 1: it on my hand like I used to do when
Speaker 1: I used to cheat in school. Go just there's so
Speaker 1: much power and positivity. Everyone hates to lose. No one
Speaker 1: likes to lose more than me. But he's like, we
Speaker 1: have to figure out a way. Are we going to
Speaker 1: keep climbing this mountain? Are we gonna fall right down?
Speaker 1: And you were going to die for this guy. He
Speaker 1: comes under the line of Bill Belichick, Nick Saban. He's
Speaker 1: completely opposite in his handlings with people then them, still
Speaker 1: as competitive as them, but he's just taken different bits
Speaker 1: and pieces of all of this and put it together.
Speaker 1: I have all of this and I don't know what
Speaker 1: to do with it. You're gonna freaking die for him.
Speaker 1: He sits with the groundskeepers before practice. He goes and
Speaker 1: hangs out with them because his grandpa was a ground
Speaker 1: to keep. He has so much respect for them. So
Speaker 1: guess what he just did. He freaking face time me
Speaker 1: from his little like hut with the groundskeeper. No, he
Speaker 1: did not did to show me. I was like dying.
Speaker 1: He sits with the cafeteria workers. You want to know
Speaker 1: what he said, which I'm dying for this. What have
Speaker 1: you learned? Because he was a coordinator, he was an
Speaker 1: assistant coach for twenty five years. What did you learn
Speaker 1: one big piece of advice, um when and you brought
Speaker 1: it over from being a head coach. He said that
Speaker 1: you have to say hi to everyone because when you
Speaker 1: are in this role and people say hi to you
Speaker 1: and you don't say hi back, it affects their day.
Speaker 1: He also said, which is a huge piece of advice.
Speaker 1: When you are at this level and people walk through
Speaker 1: your door to talk to you about something, it is
Speaker 1: the most important thing on their then and it has
Speaker 1: been bothering them for weeks and they wanted to talk
Speaker 1: to you about it, and they finally have the balls
Speaker 1: to walk in and talk to you. And even though
Speaker 1: he may have seven hundred thousand things going on, he
Speaker 1: needs to realize that is the most important thing on
Speaker 1: their mind. But that you know what that is the
Speaker 1: Scott Thompson and the Seam Andrews school of thought right
Speaker 1: there though, because it is that. And look, I don't
Speaker 1: always get it right, and we rush around and we're
Speaker 1: busy with our lives and this and that, but there
Speaker 1: is that very glaring reminder that hey, there's a I'll
Speaker 1: bring it back and this will all makes sense. I
Speaker 1: called you immediately after I left the Commander's facility because
Speaker 1: I'm rushing around. I have five minutes to get ready
Speaker 1: and Dominique can't come. I'm like spackling my face with
Speaker 1: some makeup. But that's what you did. Oh you're very sweet,
Speaker 1: But like you know, we do what we need to
Speaker 1: do to get to where we are because we like
Speaker 1: to stay employed. So we will do anything and everything
Speaker 1: and don't make excuses for it the same way that
Speaker 1: we expect these athletes. Like if you're hurt, like go
Speaker 1: out there and play like all the things. Okay, So
Speaker 1: I'm throwing myself together with two seconds. And these sweet
Speaker 1: girls individually like came in because I was getting ready
Speaker 1: in the women's bathroom and the commander's facility, Samantha and
Speaker 1: Ashley both came in and they were like, I love
Speaker 1: your podcast with Aaron, and they were so sweet, and
Speaker 1: I was like, stop it right now. And I just
Speaker 1: felt so, I know, it's whatever, we're talking about our
Speaker 1: own podcast, but I felt so appreciative that they would
Speaker 1: take time out of their day to listen to us
Speaker 1: talk about anything and bringing it back to the day.
Speaker 1: Will comment, It's like there's a big world out there.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people. Everyone's doing a million different things.
Speaker 1: But to take time and to like say thank you
Speaker 1: or I like something or what is bothering you? How
Speaker 1: can I help you? Like it takes two seconds and
Speaker 1: it means the world to said person. So I love that,
Speaker 1: and I just you can tell from the very beginning
Speaker 1: of the season, like when he like danced with the
Speaker 1: players or like just like instilling like a different culture,
Speaker 1: what a difference it makes. And now a guy that
Speaker 1: we were you know, work with in studio and you've
Speaker 1: known forever and said that I would love so much.
Speaker 1: Sean Payton, the same thing happened to him in New Orleance.
Speaker 1: You go in and you change the culture and it
Speaker 1: pays dividends and then leads to success. And I just
Speaker 1: love that. I get so jacked up, Like right now,
Speaker 1: I wanted to just lay around the rest of the day.
Speaker 1: I might go do a bunch of stuff. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go run after this. I'm gonna do all
Speaker 1: the things. I'm fired up like. I love it so much.
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving helped me what I know. We don't have much
Speaker 1: time because you're running off your next meeting. I just
Speaker 1: sent a text to Kevin Burkhardt and Britchee Zions and
Speaker 1: I said, let me know when the offensive coordinator gets on.
Speaker 1: I took a picture of us and they both said
Speaker 1: saying hi to Chris On for me. We're live, We're
Speaker 1: in our lives and this is this is a ten
Speaker 1: days on the road. Okay, Wait, we have so many
Speaker 1: more things that I want to talk to you about,
Speaker 1: so many more things to tell you too. So I
Speaker 1: got into a cab and I'm glad I called you
Speaker 1: at this time, you were kind of having a rough go.

Speaker 1: was crying in the bathroom at l a X because

Speaker 1: been to l A and anyone that knows that uber

Speaker 1: uber has to cancel. That happened to me three times.
