Speaker 1: Calm Down with Aaron and Carissa is a production of
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio and Action Satisfaction. Where am I, Yeah,
Speaker 1: where are you get your passport jump? I mean that's
Speaker 1: what I look like. D was your passport picture? By
Speaker 1: the way, horrific? Oh my god, that is the story.
Speaker 1: I literally look like I should not be allowed into
Speaker 1: the country. And it's one of those things where I
Speaker 1: got it done before I was dating Jarrett. And it
Speaker 1: was also one of those things where it's like, I
Speaker 1: don't know if you have those, like I don't want
Speaker 1: your better half to see it because you realize how
Speaker 1: unattractive you were at the time. I was definitely annoyed.
Speaker 1: I remember, you know what annoyed me was the person
Speaker 1: said smile, and don't say that to me, because I mean,
Speaker 1: what am I supposed to do? Like I'm not smiling
Speaker 1: when you say that to me? I thought, you're not
Speaker 1: supposed to smile on a passport picture. I definitely was
Speaker 1: blooded and I was greasy, so I looked so bad
Speaker 1: in this And it's one of those things. I think
Speaker 1: we've discussed it before. Like my husband is very aggressive
Speaker 1: with the travel. He handles it all. I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: We're running through airports to get in certain lines. But
Speaker 1: when he sees it, he is like, my wife is
Speaker 1: a looker. Oh my god. Okay, you your passport picture
Speaker 1: is you know, most people's like, you know, headshot for
Speaker 1: the rest of their life that they actually would want. Okay,
Speaker 1: two things. I'm in Nashville. Welcome everybody to the Calm
Speaker 1: Down Podcast. Per usual, we're just into it. I haven't
Speaker 1: spoken to Aaron today, which means that we're just gonna
Speaker 1: let it all hang out. Because sometimes we talk before
Speaker 1: the podcast. Sometimes we don't. We should never talk before
Speaker 1: the podcast because then it's like, so I am in Nashville.
Speaker 1: I just wallpaper this wall. You know how we feel
Speaker 1: about wallpaper. What kind of wallpaper is? Its texture? I mean,
Speaker 1: it's not Philip Jeffreys because I'm not as rich as
Speaker 1: you are. Philip Jeffreys is like the most amazing wallpaper
Speaker 1: of all time. And Aaron and her wonderful Mountain Lodge
Speaker 1: has the most incredible wallpaper that I just go around touching.
Speaker 1: Don't touch the walls. It's like, don't look at the
Speaker 1: art in the met But so I just got this wallpaper.
Speaker 1: This is going to be in office. I would spend
Speaker 1: around the computer thing. But it's gonna be a whole production.
Speaker 1: I am going to do a full Nashville reveal because
Speaker 1: I did almost finished this bad boy, and you know
Speaker 1: I love a home renovation, so that before and afters
Speaker 1: are in my humble opinion. Um great. So anyway, so
Speaker 1: I'm sitting in Nashville. I'm here for the next couple
Speaker 1: of weeks. But passport pictures bringing it back the past?
Speaker 1: Why so close? Speaking of blow Like, my passport picture
Speaker 1: is just cheeks. I look like Alvin Simon and Theodore
Speaker 1: all together, and it's just this close up. But I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you what pictures really bad? And I don't
Speaker 1: know if they allow a redo, but clear and every
Speaker 1: time I have fingers, the eyes never work, and I
Speaker 1: have to say to them, can we please use the fingers?
Speaker 1: And they've already pushed the eyes and they've already moved
Speaker 1: it down, and now we're used the fingers, And now
Speaker 1: I'm like, I gotta use lotion because my fingers are
Speaker 1: not registering on the scanner. And then the picture pops
Speaker 1: up and I'm like, mother, how do I redo the
Speaker 1: clear picture? Is this an option? I feel you asking
Speaker 1: Jared Jared's bringing my passport picture down. We don't want
Speaker 1: to show that. How wait you can't hear Chrissa, but
Speaker 1: just say to Chrissa, Hi, honey, how's your day? How
Speaker 1: do you shoot? Um? What was it? How these two
Speaker 1: are hungover? That's why she's doing that. Look right now,
Speaker 1: how bad is my passport picture? Like the first time
Speaker 1: you saw? What were your thoughts? If you want to
Speaker 1: be close to this Mike, little chubby cheeks, and yeah,
Speaker 1: you're not happy. A little shiny, little shiny told you.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out how to put this in
Speaker 1: the without like giving away your information. You know that's
Speaker 1: about right, that's perfect, Okay, you know you. Thank you.
Speaker 1: It's a little on the blurry side so I can't see,
Speaker 1: but I will say this. It's the shiny at the
Speaker 1: shiny coming pissed off. You know. Look, here's what I say. Actually,
Speaker 1: this is a whole deal. It's better to look worse
Speaker 1: than those because then the person sees you and they're like,
Speaker 1: oh wow, you're so much prettier. I'm gonna tell you
Speaker 1: right now, your girl over here with my driver's license,
Speaker 1: which I'm having a hard time giving up the California license.
Speaker 1: I was hair and makeup ready because I came straight
Speaker 1: from Extra on purpose to the d n V. I
Speaker 1: fucking look great in this picture. I'm telling you, I
Speaker 1: lot ready to give it up. There are very few
Speaker 1: pictures that I like of myself because I'm always very
Speaker 1: critical and I'm like, oh man, whatever, this one's crushing
Speaker 1: and I am so mad. But I will tell you this.
Speaker 1: It happened today at the bank. I gave my license
Speaker 1: to the woman for for a withdrawal and she goes, oh, wow,
Speaker 1: you look so pretty in this picture. And I was like, well, fuck,
Speaker 1: this is because I'm mailing it in now. We might
Speaker 1: want to go the other way. Let's take this to
Speaker 1: a poll. Write us a d M S on the
Speaker 1: comm Down podcast. Would you rather have a good license
Speaker 1: and passport picture so people go, wow, you're way prettier
Speaker 1: in person. Or would you rather have a good passport,
Speaker 1: clear or driver's license? So then people like you used
Speaker 1: to be pretty? I don't know, I don't know. Take
Speaker 1: it to the streets. Yeah, we're taking it to this
Speaker 1: eat and not that everybody has to deal with this,
Speaker 1: but but you know prime example, and you mentioned clear
Speaker 1: t s A. When I walk through you know, we've
Speaker 1: got the mask on and they're like, you give it
Speaker 1: to them, take your mask off, and they look at
Speaker 1: my picture and they're like, oh, that's what you look like,
Speaker 1: and then I'm all made up. So I disagree. I
Speaker 1: think sometimes it's bad to have like a shitty photo
Speaker 1: of yourself. But then don't they look at you when
Speaker 1: you're and then like you're they're like, wow, she's so
Speaker 1: pretty in person. I don't know. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: think they feel like I'm fooling America with like all
Speaker 1: the makeup the others. You can't fool anyone in four K.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you that right now. There is nothing
Speaker 1: if that goes unnoticed anymore. It's like way too close
Speaker 1: for comfort sometimes, but you still work, ok, well, like
Speaker 1: it's the four it's the TV, Like there's like used
Speaker 1: to be the four D now or K might be
Speaker 1: five Z by the time this thing is over. I
Speaker 1: don't know. Golly, wait, so you have clear. I thought
Speaker 1: you were doing clear. I know I have clear, but
Speaker 1: I'm not clear. T s a pre check. So that's
Speaker 1: your line. Oh someone, someone's trying to get in the door.
Speaker 1: Hold on a second, you know when it goes to
Speaker 1: your phone and then you miss it, and the ups
Speaker 1: they're like, or I don't know that person, Yeah, don't
Speaker 1: let them. Um okay, So I go. There's two different lines,
Speaker 1: especially at JFK. Anyone that travels at JFK, you know,
Speaker 1: it's like you've been banished. There's a clear line that's
Speaker 1: right when you get to Delta, and it's the t
Speaker 1: S A pre check line, and I try to sneak
Speaker 1: over there, and then they look and they go that
Speaker 1: way and you gotta walk seven miles like you're going
Speaker 1: to Lagordia to get to that clear And every time
Speaker 1: I go over there, I'm like, I'm the kid at
Speaker 1: the you know, the kid table. I'm totally judged. But
Speaker 1: it's my fault. It's the off season. It's something I
Speaker 1: said I was going to do, so I'm going to
Speaker 1: do it. Um do it, do it? Do it? Okay.
Speaker 1: So that's what's happening in our neck of the woods.
Speaker 1: I think, by the way, they should for passports, driver's
Speaker 1: license clear anything that needs our photo, we should just
Speaker 1: stick to one like our avatar with Twitter, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, submit it and stick to one Like
Speaker 1: why do I need to take a picture my clear
Speaker 1: photo is when apparently I thought having white hair with
Speaker 1: not one single low light was a healthy for my
Speaker 1: scalp and be attractive for myself. It was just terrible
Speaker 1: and these really really fake thick gold earrings from I
Speaker 1: think Ross. I don't know, but that was what my
Speaker 1: Atlanta or my house was living in Atlanta at the time.
Speaker 1: But that's what my clear photo is. So whenever I
Speaker 1: put it in, they're always like, oh, you're so young,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, yeah, and really harsh with that hair,
Speaker 1: but oh well, I thought it was cute. No, you're
Speaker 1: doing great, sweetie. Hey, speaking of doing great, we need viewers,
Speaker 1: listeners all the above are very concerned when you voice
Speaker 1: a health issue, which I love and I think is
Speaker 1: so sweet. We need to check in and diagnosis on
Speaker 1: the chest burning. So yes, I did over the weekend
Speaker 1: check in on the d ms that we were getting.
Speaker 1: People said it could be everything from an ulcer to
Speaker 1: maybe a rib out of place. I'm feeling a lot better,
Speaker 1: I will be honest. I didn't give a lot of
Speaker 1: details on the symptoms because I thought I would spare
Speaker 1: everybody the details and maybe the more for myself. But um,
Speaker 1: I think that we are in the clear. So I
Speaker 1: appreciate everybody reaching out. So I think, okay, good, maybe
Speaker 1: something I ate Aaron. Thank god Aaron has some discretion, because,
Speaker 1: as you guys have learned on this podcast, I have zero.
Speaker 1: So maybe I should start being more like Aaron and
Speaker 1: leaving that I won't. I'll never I'll never have discretion.
Speaker 1: So it's fine. Neither love it or you hate it
Speaker 1: is what it is. Um okay. Also an update I
Speaker 1: mentioned on the last couple of things on the last
Speaker 1: podcast that we didn't get to. I was talking before
Speaker 1: we got on the last pod about me coming to
Speaker 1: Nashville and how when I come to Nashville, how obsessed
Speaker 1: I am with doing karaoke, and I love you guys
Speaker 1: can find me on Broadway performing at any time anywhere.
Speaker 1: I will get up on stage at Tootsie's, I will
Speaker 1: get up on stage at the stage. There's no place
Speaker 1: that I won't do karaoke. Yet I love it so much.
Speaker 1: It's so embarrassing because like Nashville is like a townfull
Speaker 1: of like real singers, and so I just love it here.
Speaker 1: I'm only here for a couple of weeks, but if
Speaker 1: anyone wants to go do a karaoke run with me.
Speaker 1: I'm down. What's your go to tune? I thought you
Speaker 1: would never ask um share if I could turn back time.
Speaker 1: There's like a love from turn Child. Do you do
Speaker 1: it with her accent? Or do you do it as
Speaker 1: you singing? And you love me, love me do? Wow,
Speaker 1: that's just like a sample. I'm not even warmed up yet.
Speaker 1: Imagine how good this is going to get. And then
Speaker 1: there are moves involved. In fact, I'm willing to share
Speaker 1: with our listeners on our Calm Down podcast. I g
Speaker 1: a performance that someone recorded, not because I asked them too,
Speaker 1: but they did. And you guys be the judge of
Speaker 1: the moves. Okay, I get really into it. I go
Speaker 1: down with the mica, I go up with the hand.
Speaker 1: There's I mean, half of its performance. Let's be honest.
Speaker 1: I love Taylor Swift. She's not a good performer. Carrie
Speaker 1: Underwood good performer. Taylor Swift only does like one or
Speaker 1: two moves and like has a cat in the picture
Speaker 1: Carrie Carrie doesn't. Yeah, but I mean it's kind of
Speaker 1: the same core areography. I'll step in and judge the choreography.
Speaker 1: Seven um no, it's six seven eight okay, good, So
Speaker 1: you judge the choreography, get a lecture. See you need
Speaker 1: you need to get out here right now, and we
Speaker 1: need to hit up Broadway and anybody else that wants
Speaker 1: to come with us, we won't stop you. Oh blown
Speaker 1: away would be yours. You know, I need to learn
Speaker 1: those words Bonnie Rate. Let's give him something to talk about.
Speaker 1: You don't know anything about Bonnie Ray. I love her.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I didn't know that you knew your mind.
Speaker 1: I'm so proud. That's my Spotify list right now to
Speaker 1: see what my song would be. I'm gonna go back.
Speaker 1: So I don't know if you guys have are wonderful listeners,
Speaker 1: loyal listeners and viewers have heard Aaron and I on
Speaker 1: a new segment we are calling the pregame. It's ten
Speaker 1: minutes we do before this podcast, So if anyone doesn't
Speaker 1: have the endurance to listen to our full, you know,
Speaker 1: forty minutes of fun, it's just a little light sampling
Speaker 1: over there on the pregame. Ten minutes We were talking
Speaker 1: over there today because we had a wonderful viewer chime
Speaker 1: in with a question about would we ever want to
Speaker 1: trade places on the sideline Aaron goes to studio. I said,
Speaker 1: no fucking way. I'm not interested in going on the
Speaker 1: sidelines anymore. I don't know how Aaron's done it for
Speaker 1: so long, but she's the best at it. Okay, fine.
Speaker 1: One of the reasons that I don't want to go
Speaker 1: back on the sideline is for all the travel I
Speaker 1: did a bit of traveling. I had to go to Texas,
Speaker 1: got stuck different night storm. I was doing a house
Speaker 1: in Staff for my favorite clients I've ever had in life.
Speaker 1: There that just the best. I would get stuck in
Speaker 1: the North Pole for them. But I had to go
Speaker 1: through Columbus. I was calling you. There was a lot
Speaker 1: of different detours in this situation. I wake up the
Speaker 1: plane lands. I'm a great sleeper on the plane. I'm
Speaker 1: not a good sleeper in real life as of late.
Speaker 1: We'll get to that later. I need some of TV's
Speaker 1: pills or whatever he has the what is it, the
Speaker 1: cranberry whatever something He's got some magic t I oh,
Speaker 1: my god, I usually get those a lot. Sure, But anyways,
Speaker 1: so I fall asleep on the plane like I normally do.
Speaker 1: I get up and I'm going to get my bag
Speaker 1: out of the overhead standard move and it gets stuck.
Speaker 1: Every overhead is a different size based on the plane.
Speaker 1: Then it's based on the you know, the aircraft, the delta.
Speaker 1: I know on a cross country I can get this
Speaker 1: suitcase and no problem. Well now we're on the Southwest,
Speaker 1: and now it's a smaller okay, fox, So the suitcase
Speaker 1: fit on the way out here is not fitting on
Speaker 1: the way home. So I'm jamming it now. People like,
Speaker 1: can we hear this is what I'm talking about? Now,
Speaker 1: I'm holding up the whole line, and I'm like, but
Speaker 1: but I felt like Ben Stiller and Meet the Parents
Speaker 1: where it's like he's trying to jam the suitcase into
Speaker 1: the conveyor belt thing and it's like it doesn't fit,
Speaker 1: so they have to check. He loses the engagement ring.
Speaker 1: I'm like, this fucking thing fit, and you just stop swearing.
Speaker 1: This thing fit on the way out here, and now
Speaker 1: it's not fitting on the way home. So I'm ripping
Speaker 1: it out and I feel like a NASCAR pit crew.
Speaker 1: If you don't, you've got like twenty seconds to gather
Speaker 1: your belongings, get everything together, and roll it down ear
Speaker 1: else everyone looks at you like you're a jackass and
Speaker 1: I'm not a new traveler, but why can we not
Speaker 1: have a little grace in the you know, the the
Speaker 1: exit off the plane. No, I mean, who was our
Speaker 1: guest that was talking about this, Brian Bumgardner, Like people
Speaker 1: are just in such a big hurry, they're so rude.
Speaker 1: I also die for the person that's standing behind you
Speaker 1: and their suitcase is one ahead of yours, so they're
Speaker 1: reaching and it's like, my head is here. And by
Speaker 1: the way, if you hit me, and I have even
Speaker 1: more neck problems than I already have, Like I will
Speaker 1: come after you. Basically I was gonna say, punch you
Speaker 1: in the face, but that's aggressive. Um No, I feel you.
Speaker 1: It's kind of the same thing we were just talking
Speaker 1: about with pictures and making them one size fits all.
Speaker 1: Why can't we just have one bin that fits all.
Speaker 1: I don't care if I'm what a goddamn embry are like,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, that's not my problem, I know.
Speaker 1: And then the other part about this too, And I
Speaker 1: said something I don't normally say this, but I had
Speaker 1: paid for a first class seat. I want to comfort,
Speaker 1: so I deserve the overhead compartment in the first class area.
Speaker 1: This gal in front of me put her suitcase in
Speaker 1: the overhead, so I'm thinking, oh, we're seat mates. No,
Speaker 1: she put it in the overhead and kept walking, and
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, I was like, you got you
Speaker 1: gotta take that down there. I was like, this is
Speaker 1: my Space because now you're taking down my Space. Do
Speaker 1: you still have that? I don't. I never had my
Speaker 1: Space account. But you gotta take it. You You your
Speaker 1: overhead is in twelve C, mine was in four B.
Speaker 1: I paid for that overhead. You need to take cars,
Speaker 1: and I'm not the asshole. Move it on down. I
Speaker 1: don't like it. I don't like it. You throw it
Speaker 1: up there and then keep walking. Now you're getting u
Speaker 1: t e s the stress on your body. I know
Speaker 1: I have a So this is exactly why I stay
Speaker 1: in studio. Why get in my car, I drive to
Speaker 1: the fox lot and I drive home. I don't have
Speaker 1: the patient You are a much more patient person than I.
Speaker 1: And when it comes to traveling, Nope, no, no, I'm
Speaker 1: definitely crabby. When it comes to traveling, you just kind
Speaker 1: of have to put your head down and go. And
Speaker 1: it's just hard to deal with the people that don't
Speaker 1: know how to travel. It's like, I don't apparently. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a bummer, so you're not sleeping well. So I
Speaker 1: haven't been because of the traveling too. I mean that
Speaker 1: doesn't help. I don't know. I haven't been sleeping well.
Speaker 1: I'm the person that normally can fall asleep, like I said, anywhere, anytime.
Speaker 1: And what are your symptoms, like, are you up thinking?
Speaker 1: Are you going to sleep for a hot second and
Speaker 1: then waking up? What are you like? What's your symptoms? Here?
Speaker 1: My symptoms doctor all the Green Bay doctors. And I
Speaker 1: go and I go. I'm like, oh, I'm tired. I'm
Speaker 1: ready to go to bed. And then I always take
Speaker 1: a shower before I go to bed. It's just like
Speaker 1: a thing. Whatever if I make up on my face
Speaker 1: or whatever, take a shower, go to bed, and then
Speaker 1: I lay there and I stare at the ceiling and
Speaker 1: then I toss and I turned and I've never been
Speaker 1: like that before. In the last couple of weeks, I'm
Speaker 1: just thinking and then I get up and I write
Speaker 1: to get stuff out of my brain. Sod to do list.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm having an issue. And I feel for
Speaker 1: people that have ever had insomnia or don't sleep very well,
Speaker 1: because it's never been an issue in my life, so
Speaker 1: I'm open to andying all suggestions. I know that you,
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, have the TV twelve stuff. I'm going
Speaker 1: to ask for the link and purchase. And I don't
Speaker 1: like taking that melotonin or the night quill, then I
Speaker 1: might be sleep until noon the next day. I don't
Speaker 1: want to get too crazy with you know, the remedies
Speaker 1: for it. It's just something I've never had before. So
Speaker 1: I'm looking at it right now because you guys have
Speaker 1: actually reached out to me about it before. TV twelve
Speaker 1: has a website that you can go to, but he
Speaker 1: sells these supplements that are all natural and this is
Speaker 1: not an ad. I swear that I know. I'm asking
Speaker 1: me to say this. Yeah, but you guys there, it's
Speaker 1: really really good. You take two before bed, and you know,
Speaker 1: I go out and I throw five touchdowns a year.
Speaker 1: But it's called sleep. It's the sleep you've been dreaming of.
Speaker 1: And can you text me that? Yeah, it's fantastic. I'm
Speaker 1: damning it to you right now. It's so good. Relax
Speaker 1: before bed, fall asleep, faster, improve quality, sleep, faster, perfect
Speaker 1: sending it your way, It's great. I love it. Thank you.
Speaker 1: Speaking of d M s. As I mentioned before in
Speaker 1: our pregame, we were answering some of your guys's questions. Um,
Speaker 1: you had a question which was wonderful. It was from
Speaker 1: Megan one Hoffman. She said, can Aaron talk about her
Speaker 1: Dancing with the Stars experience? If you're interested in that response,
Speaker 1: then head over to the pregame and listen. But I
Speaker 1: wanted to expand upon what you said with your relationships
Speaker 1: that you made on that show, in particular Maxim, who
Speaker 1: was your dance partner, and I know a friend that
Speaker 1: you made afterwards, and everything that's going on with him
Speaker 1: and the situation in Ukraine. Yeah, his family is from Ukraine,
Speaker 1: and I believe he was filming a show out there.
Speaker 1: I think it was a Dancing with the Stars show, UM,
Speaker 1: in the Ukraine, and he has been there. It's been
Speaker 1: well documented, it's been picked up everywhere. He's kind of
Speaker 1: doing live updates and putting them to his social media
Speaker 1: account right in the center of everything, which has been frightening.
Speaker 1: UM much love, teas and pieces are But Pat McAfee
Speaker 1: would say to Max and to Peter his wife, and
Speaker 1: to Val his brother who you also know, and his
Speaker 1: mom and dad. As of today, my sister and I
Speaker 1: were texting about it that he is trying to get
Speaker 1: out and I think trying to get to Poland. I
Speaker 1: think he was on a bus the last I saw,
Speaker 1: so that it has been such um it's I don't
Speaker 1: know the whole situation. Watching it on television unfold, it's
Speaker 1: like I can't get enough of it because I just
Speaker 1: you are just I don't I'm not trying to get
Speaker 1: political or anything, but how does your heart not go
Speaker 1: to these people that are separating with their families. They
Speaker 1: didn't ask for this. It is just out of control.
Speaker 1: It brings me to someone at d M Man said, oh,
Speaker 1: you never talked about politics on your podcast. Well, this
Speaker 1: isn't a political podcast. And you and I have both
Speaker 1: spoken that we want to continue to be educated in
Speaker 1: various areas. You know, we know what we know and
Speaker 1: we know what we don't know. And you and I
Speaker 1: are very same and aligned like this. We're always open
Speaker 1: to hearing why people have the thoughts that they have,
Speaker 1: whether it's with politics, religion, whatever, but it's you and
Speaker 1: I don't talk about that because it's not something that
Speaker 1: we want for public consumption. And I'm also not well
Speaker 1: educated enough in it I am here all day long
Speaker 1: to talk to you about the latest news with this
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray thing and the memo that went out. Goodness gracious,
Speaker 1: and um, you know what's going to happen. It's the
Speaker 1: combine this week and all the things. But I am
Speaker 1: not educated enough to speak about politics, and it's just
Speaker 1: not it's not my place to do it totally. But
Speaker 1: you and I in terms of our heart and our
Speaker 1: care and concern isn't political. It's just humanity. And when
Speaker 1: I see these little kids and I see you know,
Speaker 1: Maxim had even said something that these were the boys
Speaker 1: that he was judging in a dance competition and now
Speaker 1: they're getting ready to go off and fight for their country.
Speaker 1: So you know, it's a world that we do not know,
Speaker 1: and all we can continue to do is send our
Speaker 1: thoughts and prayers out to anyone that's involved, and especially
Speaker 1: just people that are innocent by standards that all you
Speaker 1: ever want in life, and again not political, is like
Speaker 1: peace and happiness, and unfortunately for some, for a lot
Speaker 1: of people it's a lot harder than others. So um,
Speaker 1: that is the extent of that. Um. But anyways, going
Speaker 1: back to things that we are comfortable expanding upon which
Speaker 1: is football? What did you do you want to talk
Speaker 1: about the memo? For real? Do you really want to
Speaker 1: talk about that? Or not? Really? Not really? But I
Speaker 1: was just listening again to our our friend Pat McAfee
Speaker 1: break it down. It is so interesting the whole thing.
Speaker 1: Also that Pat was saying, which you will love. I
Speaker 1: think there was a spelling error in it. Okay, So
Speaker 1: for those of you guys that don't know Kyler, Murray's
Speaker 1: agent put out this memo on behalf of Kyler, You
Speaker 1: guys haven't read the memo, you know various outlets. You
Speaker 1: can pull it up very easily, and it is a
Speaker 1: it is a long memo. It is not Times a
Speaker 1: Courier new writing. It is very small and font nine um.
Speaker 1: But there's just sort of like his position on how
Speaker 1: he wants to be there but he needs to know
Speaker 1: he can be there long term. And there was the
Speaker 1: whole what did you make of the J J What
Speaker 1: video when he put it out and he was saying,
Speaker 1: and I'm going to mess it up, but it was
Speaker 1: something like how kind of intimating that we all make
Speaker 1: a lot of something like oh who likes what? On Instagram? Basically,
Speaker 1: Kyler had deleted any connection that he had with Arizona. Right,
Speaker 1: he can stop following the card. There's another quarterback that
Speaker 1: just did that too, right Russell did he stopped. I
Speaker 1: don't know if he stopped following, but he took off
Speaker 1: that he was the quarterback of Okay Seahawks, which, by
Speaker 1: the way, brings up a whole other conversation, the fact
Speaker 1: that guys can like toy I need to stop saying,
Speaker 1: like the fact that guys can toy with tea on
Speaker 1: social media. You know what I'm saying, It's just it's
Speaker 1: it's almost childish. I'm not saying those guys are childish,
Speaker 1: but it's like, are we breaking up? Are we not
Speaker 1: breaking up? Like on follow? On follow? You know what,
Speaker 1: it's okay, okay, okay, okay. Well there's a lot. Actually
Speaker 1: there's a lot here. I can impact my whole thing.
Speaker 1: And whether it's my personal life or whether it's issues
Speaker 1: with my profession, I'm not going to talk about it
Speaker 1: until I want to talk about right, or until I
Speaker 1: need to talk about it. So with these guys, and
Speaker 1: you know, the posturing of back and forth like I
Speaker 1: want to be here, and like when Russell did it
Speaker 1: last year, I would say it to his face. It
Speaker 1: pissed me off, and he was like, I want to
Speaker 1: play in Seattle, but if I was to go anywhere else,
Speaker 1: these are the four teams I'd want to go play for.
Speaker 1: It's like, I like my wife, but these are the
Speaker 1: four girls I'd want to date. I hate it your organism.
Speaker 1: You are a paid employee. You are an employee of
Speaker 1: that team. Do not flirt with other people? And we
Speaker 1: have even you know, just in a lot of different
Speaker 1: areas of life. I think that you don't say anything
Speaker 1: until you take it up with your own management and
Speaker 1: your own employers or your own spouse or partner or whatever,
Speaker 1: and then make it public. So yeah, that's my thought
Speaker 1: on that, because while someone else is writing your checks, sweetheart,
Speaker 1: you still work for that team and organization, and it
Speaker 1: becomes trauma. And I want to if I'm if I
Speaker 1: own a team, I want people to come to me
Speaker 1: before I then have to read the tea leaves. In
Speaker 1: the world of social media, you know, is a whole
Speaker 1: different animal, and I think it's a blessing and a curse.
Speaker 1: But when you start to I don't know, it just
Speaker 1: bothers me when people UH flirt with being unloyal before
Speaker 1: they need to What did you think of the memo?
Speaker 1: Did you notice the spelling error? No? What was the
Speaker 1: spelling air? I don't know. Pat was talking about it.
Speaker 1: It was like chooses or choses or I don't know
Speaker 1: what it was. It was something you're an idiot? Oh boy? Um?
Speaker 1: How about when? How abou when people do that? Why?
Speaker 1: Oh you are? What are you doing? Are you pulling
Speaker 1: it up? I don't know. I mean it's so long
Speaker 1: the podcast would be over by the time. I mean
Speaker 1: I read through the define the spelling airror. But I
Speaker 1: don't know. Just to my previous rand, I think he's
Speaker 1: keep things in house until they're out of house, until
Speaker 1: you out of the house. But anyhow, I have a
Speaker 1: completely different way to take this entire conversation. And I
Speaker 1: don't know how to have a good segue, which is
Speaker 1: another reason why I'm not in the studio. You don't
Speaker 1: have to have a segment as a podcast. So anyways,
Speaker 1: I am, yes, a tad hungover, but that's neither girl
Speaker 1: nor there. But I'm so jealous I wasn't with you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: in Montana, we're very slow to the knowing cocktails and
Speaker 1: trends and so forth. It wasn't until COVID that my
Speaker 1: husband and I really got on the tequila train. We
Speaker 1: had been kind of a beer wine um, I'll be honest,
Speaker 1: this was a lot about me changing wine because I
Speaker 1: was crying after two glasses, fighting with him after three,
Speaker 1: like nobody needs that. And here's the thing, like if
Speaker 1: you want to kind of like sip on a beverage
Speaker 1: all day, you can't do it with red wine. And
Speaker 1: I think a Savian blanc is kind of the same way.
Speaker 1: It's like by two or three, like, ship's getting messy
Speaker 1: for me and I'm not enjoyable to be around. So
Speaker 1: I quickly found that tequila was a great way for
Speaker 1: me to sit on something not completely make an ass
Speaker 1: out of myself. I don't start getting emotional or crying
Speaker 1: or all the things. So we were in Montana and
Speaker 1: we were at one of our favorite little spots to
Speaker 1: go to at this bar away from our house, and
Speaker 1: it was ranchy and viby, and it was like a
Speaker 1: cold like minus ten, and they had live music. There's
Speaker 1: your karaoke And the woman came over and she goes,
Speaker 1: what can I get you guys to drink? And I
Speaker 1: was like, I don't want to wine because I know
Speaker 1: we're going to be here a while and I don't
Speaker 1: want to be sloppy drunk and I want to go
Speaker 1: home and you know, watch TV and all that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff. And so I was like, this is what
Speaker 1: I like. I like blanco tequila, I like soda water,
Speaker 1: and I like a lime. What can I have that's
Speaker 1: kind of a fun mountainee vibe? I hate sweet? Sweet
Speaker 1: makes me want to barth. We tried this thing at
Speaker 1: the bar called ranch Water and it has changed my life.
Speaker 1: Well now I am a headache. But it is Blanco
Speaker 1: mescal tequila, which is a smoky, yeah you feel mountainey
Speaker 1: cozy like yes, like it's just great soda water line.
Speaker 1: They did a bit of a gave and halapeno in it,
Speaker 1: but I can't do sweet. So anyways, last night we
Speaker 1: had one and it took the bar a little bit
Speaker 1: because I was like, I can't have a gove. It
Speaker 1: makes my like it's sweet all it's grossing me out.
Speaker 1: We did a little hallepeno, but we finally got it
Speaker 1: and they are refreshing. If any of you have a
Speaker 1: fabulous ranchwater non sweet recipes, send them our way to
Speaker 1: the Calm Down Podcast Instagram account. I was gonna say,
Speaker 1: you need to call your cute ranch place and ask
Speaker 1: them what the actual breakdown is of ingredients, because I
Speaker 1: wish and you and I talked about this all the time.
Speaker 1: Whenever you order your tequila soda when you're not having ranchwater,
Speaker 1: I'm like, I wish I could do that, because I'm
Speaker 1: the person that likes to drink wine. It either get
Speaker 1: I'm either a disaster or a good time. I gotta
Speaker 1: find that in between. You think at the age of
Speaker 1: forty I would finally find it, But here we are.
Speaker 1: So I would love to drink tequila for a couple
Speaker 1: of reasons. A. It is the one alcohol that's not
Speaker 1: at present great good be the cat like the caloric
Speaker 1: part like you're mentioning and wine. I got a problem, man.
Speaker 1: I can throw down like four glasses and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, four glasses is a bottle of wine, and
Speaker 1: you go like this ship and like have to hide
Speaker 1: it in the bottom of the garbage. It so much sugar,
Speaker 1: hence the bloat. So I would love to switch over
Speaker 1: to the tequila side of things. The only way I
Speaker 1: can do that. And you said the magic word is
Speaker 1: the hallepeeno and the mescal. I can get in with
Speaker 1: that because I like a spicy margarita, but I can't
Speaker 1: do the super sweet thing. So now we're talking. Yeah,
Speaker 1: apparently ranch water is a real thing. People have been
Speaker 1: doing it for ages. Who knew. We just got on
Speaker 1: the program. But I was like googling different ranch water
Speaker 1: recipes and I am so into it. I'm working on
Speaker 1: not interrupting, you, said Ranch, and I immediately thought of
Speaker 1: what I also wanted to talk about with you. Have
Speaker 1: you started watching Three? No? I heard its fantasy. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, we just finished yellow Stone. Okay, my dad
Speaker 1: and mom are visiting me in Nashville. I mean parents
Speaker 1: Weekend all the time over here. You know. I love
Speaker 1: Scott and Cathy and their retirement tour. So my dad says,
Speaker 1: have you seen Three? And I was like, I don't
Speaker 1: know if I want to be depressed, and like it
Speaker 1: just seems and he goes stop last night, four episodes.
Speaker 1: Bam bam, bam bam. I can't wait. I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: going to run downstairs and as soon as he's back,
Speaker 1: who knows where they are karaoke, probably on Broadway. I
Speaker 1: am going to bang out another four episodes because I
Speaker 1: am obsessed. Faith Hill's daughter narrates it. Faith Hill and
Speaker 1: Tim McGraw are excellent. Really, there's so many life lessons
Speaker 1: you're going to cry, You're gonna laugh. The daughter in it,
Speaker 1: I won't say, I won't not giving anything away. She
Speaker 1: is so beautiful, and I'm like, oh my god. I
Speaker 1: just keep looking at her skin, in her hair, and
Speaker 1: everything about it is great. It's about loyalty, it's about survival.
Speaker 1: It's about you think your ship's tough, Like that's why
Speaker 1: I even sit here and complain, like I can't sleep
Speaker 1: at night. Then we look at what's going on in Ukraine.
Speaker 1: Then we look at what these people had to endure,
Speaker 1: like even just to to Organ, like giving up their life,
Speaker 1: their possessions, like everything, just for the promise of something better.
Speaker 1: So I'm all in, And if anyone has seen it all,
Speaker 1: don't tell me what happens because I am into it.
Speaker 1: I don't want to say I like it better than
Speaker 1: yellow Stone. I don't, but it is a different kind
Speaker 1: of viewing. It just makes you compassionate for what our
Speaker 1: early early settlers went through. And I love the Organ Trail,
Speaker 1: but I will play that game differently. Now you know
Speaker 1: the buffalo and the colera means something. What what was
Speaker 1: it that you didn't want to get dysent terry or
Speaker 1: something with the organ trail because then you die? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was one collar a smallpox like terry. I think
Speaker 1: maybe something with the water, because there was a certain
Speaker 1: part of the ship Ryan, if you know, or somebody's
Speaker 1: smarter than us knows. Um, they were drinking water out
Speaker 1: of the creeks and if you didn't boil the water
Speaker 1: then you get really sick from it. But um, Tim
Speaker 1: McGraw was, well, that's a different kind of water now,
Speaker 1: ranch water we want, Tim McGraw, I was excellent. I didn't.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I hadn't Faith though. I
Speaker 1: don't know if that was her acting actress whatever? Is
Speaker 1: it still actress? Acting debut? Are we allowed? I don't
Speaker 1: know to say actress? Is it actor? Know what it is?
Speaker 1: I think, Um, thespians right, aren't we all one of
Speaker 1: the arts? Then? Yeah? Speaking of which, the Screen Actors
Speaker 1: Guild Award was last night, and I didn't did you
Speaker 1: see Faith Help? I didn't. Well, I only saw the
Speaker 1: thing that you sent me, But I didn't watch any
Speaker 1: of it, and normally I care because of I'll, you know,
Speaker 1: care about the outfite. I was so engrossed in eighteen
Speaker 1: eighty three that it was a time all I can think.
Speaker 1: I probably Saga words brings back very bad memories for me.
Speaker 1: It wasn't a highlight of my professional career on the
Speaker 1: red carpet. You know. I may have had too much
Speaker 1: champagne prior to the awards. And what year? Um, I
Speaker 1: think it was like two thousand eighteen. I was wearing
Speaker 1: this white dress and let's just say that the champagne
Speaker 1: and the son of it like we were doing the awards.
Speaker 1: It was down by the Colosseum, the shrine. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I'll put that on. It was so embarrassing. I was
Speaker 1: so drunk. I had my boss Lisa, made a low
Speaker 1: light reel of the questions I was asking actors and
Speaker 1: actresses because I was so out of it. I don't
Speaker 1: know how I wasn't fired right then. And there was
Speaker 1: who was the hot like, who was the hot actor
Speaker 1: and actress of that that SAG awards. Don't ask me.
Speaker 1: I don't remember, I mean, but I do remember. Um
Speaker 1: there was Oh no, I shouldn't even say I remember
Speaker 1: that Sarah Paulson is who I was interviewing, and she
Speaker 1: was she was while she is an incredible actress, but
Speaker 1: she was very patient with me as I was trying
Speaker 1: to get out the question that I was slurring and
Speaker 1: making an ass out of myself for she was in
Speaker 1: the the O. J. Simpson documentary at the time, documentary
Speaker 1: that was kind of her um not to bring back three?
Speaker 1: Please do? Yes. I have a girlfriend, Megan Carter, who
Speaker 1: swears by it, loves it, So yeah, it's got to
Speaker 1: be something we get on. We just finished yellow Stone,
Speaker 1: we just started up Ozark. You know how I feel
Speaker 1: about this. I gotta start from the beginning. No, I
Speaker 1: haven't seen it, And I was like can I asked you?
Speaker 1: I was like, can I jump into season four? No? No, no,
Speaker 1: no no. Jason Bates, what are your guys thoughts? Actually,
Speaker 1: I'd like to open up the question and answer portion
Speaker 1: of the program. What are your guys thoughts on coming
Speaker 1: into series like that? Like I'm not allowed. I've gotta
Speaker 1: go all the way back to the beginning, and what
Speaker 1: series are we allowed? Like Ship's Creek you could go
Speaker 1: into season three without it, but you can't really, I
Speaker 1: mean I'm not a sticker recommended. Come on, there's too
Speaker 1: much that's unfolding in Ozark. You have to start from
Speaker 1: the first episode and it's so damn our producer Ryan
Speaker 1: just said you got to go from the beginning always.
Speaker 1: I disagree. I disagree who who sides with me and
Speaker 1: thinks that you can just jump in whenever? I know.
Speaker 1: I understand some series are sequential and you need to
Speaker 1: but not for everything. Um, guys, I have loved this.
Speaker 1: I don't know if we have to wrap, but um,
Speaker 1: what are probably should? What do you do? What's I
Speaker 1: have a question for you really quick, because as I'm
Speaker 1: looking at your new Wally Wally Wally World all papered office,
Speaker 1: What's been the hardest part about your renovation in Nashville?
Speaker 1: And what if you loved the most that you're so cute?
Speaker 1: Thank you for asking. The hardest part of the renovation
Speaker 1: is now giving the house up to renters, and if
Speaker 1: the future renters ever listened to this, thank you so
Speaker 1: much for not putting your hands all over my white couch. Um,
Speaker 1: the hardest part is just having patients, because as anyone knows,
Speaker 1: that is also a client of Minded House and Home
Speaker 1: or doing their own home renovations or even purchasing of
Speaker 1: any product delays, delays, delays, so I'm very impatient. So
Speaker 1: I either buy locally so I know it's right there,
Speaker 1: or I, in this particular case, bought a bunch of
Speaker 1: stuff in l A and then shipped it out here
Speaker 1: about locally a to support local businesses, but also I
Speaker 1: don't have the patients. When someone someone goes I can
Speaker 1: wait until July for a couch. I'm like, you're a
Speaker 1: better person than me. I want all that ship done
Speaker 1: right now. So that's the hardest part about any renovation
Speaker 1: and the current climate that we're in. And the best
Speaker 1: part for me was I had this one big wall
Speaker 1: and I'll take a picture of it, and I was
Speaker 1: unclear what I wanted. I'm not sophisticated enough in art,
Speaker 1: but the the wall called for like a piece of art,
Speaker 1: and I didn't do anything with it, and I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do something different, So I did a whole
Speaker 1: wall of antiqued mirrors. That it's so it could have
Speaker 1: went one of two ways. I like it. I did
Speaker 1: this house with the I think every like home needs
Speaker 1: to have a theme. My theme in this house was
Speaker 1: for it to be like a Soho house if anyone's
Speaker 1: spin into that. Each room is kind of different. It's
Speaker 1: like a mix of eclectic, like antique, but with new things.
Speaker 1: So I was happy with how that came out. If
Speaker 1: you're interested in my services, house and Home Dot Design,
Speaker 1: thank you for asking, I love you. That sounds like
Speaker 1: Dolores's house on Real Housewives in New Jersey. I feel
Speaker 1: like every room is a different by the way, incredible
Speaker 1: season this one is. And I don't even know which
Speaker 1: one she's on. Oh, New Jersey, New Jersey, I gotta
Speaker 1: get That's something I need to get caught up on.
Speaker 1: All my ID got into Utah. Oh yeah, Ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 1: it's been a pleasure. As always, we have a lot
Speaker 1: of questions for the listeners and viewers. Head over to
Speaker 1: our d M send them, We read them all, and
Speaker 1: please partake in the polls that we asked. We will
Speaker 1: take this. We will have the final votes tally. No hanging.
Speaker 1: Chad's here thanks to our special surprise guest Matthew Stafford
Speaker 1: for not showing up. What the funk it was gonna be?
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford, Yeah, that's what happens when he drinks too
Speaker 1: many ranch waters water every now and then to be onto.
Speaker 1: They both said they do, so we'll figure it out.
