Got it 18 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: d M from someone really concerned about a few things 19 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: in my life that says I do not talk about 20 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: them on the podcast. So I'll address that the longer version. 21 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 1: What I want at Now is the listener Questions brought 22 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: to you by first and foremost Taste of Ontario Spring Sale. This, 23 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,960 Speaker 1: I mean, how many letters? Are too many letters? I 24 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: like it. Here's a question. Would you ever want to 25 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,680 Speaker 1: switch places? Aaron and studio and Carissa on this sideline? 26 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: I am going to tell you what I tell Aaron 27 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: all the time. I give her so much credit for 28 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 1: continuing to want to stand on that sideline. Whether it's 29 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: freezing in Lambeau, it's the seven hundred flights, it's the 30 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: fifteen million check into the hotels. I forgot what room 31 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: I'm even in because I've been living on the road 32 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: for twenty years. I would never want to go back 33 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: to doing what she does. She's the best at what 34 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: she does. But um, look, if I had to, because 35 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: it's the only place for me, I would. I just 36 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: I can't brave the ps this one can? Hey, um yeah, 37 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: I would there Listen, there are times I would love 38 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: to be in the studio. I would love to, yeah, 39 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: stay at home some holidays, some weekends when things are 40 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: going on. But for me, there is nothing like being 41 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: on the sideline. What do you love most about it? 42 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 1: Getting close with the guys, getting close getting the inside 43 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 1: information feeling. I mean, you were there for the NFC 44 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 1: Championship and not working it, you don't miss it a 45 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,679 Speaker 1: tad just standing there. I mean we were talking about 46 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: it last night, had dinner last night with a couple 47 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: of friends, and um, fine, Matthew Stafford was talking about 48 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: NFC Championship. It was such a you actually heard this, 49 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: He's mentioned it before. Uh. During the NFC Championship he 50 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: throws a touchdown and he does this move which is hot, 51 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 1: by the way, where he's like yeah, and then he said, 52 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: I looked right at the sideline. He's like, hey, hey, 53 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 1: what's up. But because I was standing next to McVeigh, 54 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: you don't miss ship like that anymore. I missed I 55 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: missed the pre I missed the production meetings because that 56 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: is the time where you did the guys. We've talked 57 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: about it, but we don't even do them anymore. Well, right, 58 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: you don't want doing but you know you've intimated that, 59 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: you know these guys are gonna say things there that 60 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: obviously you are not going to repeat because professionals don't 61 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: repeat what happens in a production meeting. Hey, now, so 62 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: that I miss But um no, I don't miss the travel. 63 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: I don't miss any of that, and yeah, the relationships 64 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: with the guys, because that's really the number one thing 65 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: for me that I got out of it. No, but 66 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: but I still feel like I get that a little 67 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: bit and sit down interviews, which is why I love 68 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: doing those, because it's my only connection two players outside 69 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 1: of the studio. Um okay, so the good question Ontario, 70 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: I love your airport. It's very convenient dot com. Here's 71 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: the next one from Megan one Hoffman. She says, can 72 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: Aaron talk about her Dancing with the Stars experience both 73 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: as a contestant and a host. You don't get that's 74 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: I like that because you never talked about this well 75 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: as a contestant. It was one of the hardest things 76 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: I've ever done, because yes, I group dancing that body 77 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: banging I did. I lost fifteen pounds because it's I 78 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: looked like a twelve year old boy. They kept literally 79 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: pulling in my outfit every single week. I've got to 80 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: remember we only have ten minutes, and um yeah, I 81 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: totally lost my boobs. My butt was gone, like it 82 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: was just I looked like a string being. But I 83 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: will tell you this, my abs were on fire so 84 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: much so I took a rhyanstone and I stuck it 85 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: in my belly button. I thought I was so cute. Anyway, 86 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 1: Being a host was so much fun because it is 87 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: reality TV, you know, I you don't know what's going 88 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: to happen. You don't know when there's going to be 89 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: a wardrobe malfunction because you lost so much weight. Do 90 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: you want to know who's making out? You want to 91 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 1: know who's fighting. So being a host was really great. 92 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 1: Being a contestant was super super hard, but I did 93 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: love every minute of it. And along with that, thinking 94 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: of my dance partner Maxim Schmiakovski, who is actually in 95 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 1: Ukraine right now, Yes, and we are definitely going to 96 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,479 Speaker 1: talk more, and his wife. Thinking about Peter too, And 97 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: you know, similar to football, the relationships that you made 98 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: from your time on that show as a contestant and 99 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 1: a host extends far beyond the tenure. So thoughts to 100 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: him and again, Megan, thank you for the question. We 101 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: should expand more on that for the later episode that 102 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 1: Jake are Old said, what got y'all started with the podcast? Well, Jake, um, 103 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: I think I'll speak for myself. Aaron and I used 104 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: you know we've said it before, but leave very we 105 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: have like this. I don't know when it started, probably 106 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: because we kept missing each other in terms of actually 107 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: connecting on the phone. We would leave very lengthy voicemails 108 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: for one another, and I think that that sort of, 109 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: you know, the maturation would just be turned into like, 110 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,119 Speaker 1: well we should just talk about this stuff, and everyone 111 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: else has a podcast, and we finally were like, maybe 112 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: somebody looks for them. Maybe yeah, maybe someone cares. So Jake, 113 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 1: it was spawned for me out of our long voicemails 114 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 1: with each other, and I don't know, maybe someone cares. 115 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: I love it. Next up is n J. I'm sorry 116 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 1: if I screw this up. I don't know if this 117 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 1: is all one name, but NJ dolly best travel tip 118 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: mine using pants hangers to class hotel curtain shut. I 119 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: thought I knew all the child's gonna say, let's go 120 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: to the gal that spends half of her life in 121 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: one what he got for a trap tip. I was 122 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: just talking to one of my favorite goalies, my only 123 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,279 Speaker 1: favorite goalie in the NHL, Jonathan Quick, about this ear plugs. 124 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: Ear plugs are a necessity, and we were actually rating 125 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,919 Speaker 1: your plugs. Um I like the blue cushiony ones. I 126 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,919 Speaker 1: don't like the really huge orangey ones for some reason, 127 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: they don't jam right down in there. I like to 128 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: legitimately feel my brain with my ear plugs, so I travel. Obviously, 129 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 1: we've discussed it, a temper pedic pillow and ear plugs. 130 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 1: Where do you get the where do you get the 131 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: blue ones from? You know? I think there is CBS 132 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 1: pick up. Hopefully our producer Ryan's listening, and maybe he 133 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: could do a shout out to an ear plug company 134 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,799 Speaker 1: so they could buy time on the Calm Down podcast. 135 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: Ryan is always listening. I'm sure he is after he 136 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: tunes out. That is, of course, Spencer Lorraine oh seven. 137 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: How do you guys organize your time? I get distracted 138 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: and don't get half of my to do list done. Well, 139 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna throw this over to miss Organization 140 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: because she is the first thing that I know writes 141 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 1: down a real list about everything I've seen it. She's 142 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: got great penmanship. You write pen to paper a list? 143 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: Is that how you stay organized? No? Because I lose 144 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: the list, so I try to transfer that onto my 145 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: phone and throughout the day I just try to keep 146 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: on knocking stuff off the list, and if I can't 147 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: get it to that day, I try to bring it 148 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: to the next day. My husband is honestly the most 149 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: organized person. I don't know how he does it, but 150 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: he's real big on the list. What about you? I 151 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: just pulled up mine. Mine is always on my phone 152 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: like this and this is my ongoing to do list. 153 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: And I also set reminders in my phone, like for 154 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: an alarm to go off, let's says check it to 155 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: do list. So if I get distracted, then I'm reminded 156 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: that I need to go back to it. I do 157 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: give myself a day like yesterday, I gave myself a 158 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: day where I didn't do anything. So take a day 159 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: off from the to do list or also just feels 160 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: like you're constantly having to do something? Okay, where um 161 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: we are? We forgot the athlete one?

Well, definitely, 166 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: last year, we were so obsessed with Devin White. We 167 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,679 Speaker 1: thought he was like the funniest guy and he's rolling 168 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: around in the end zone. Um, I'm trying to think 169 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: Gronk is up there. Yeah, I mean sure. It just 170 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: wanted to Brandy interview that Aaron and I have done 171 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: with him. It goes off the rails before it even starts. 172 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: George Kittle, he's a time, very cute this weekend at 173 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: the Stadium series in Nashville. He's adorable. Um yeah, I 174 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: would say Gronk is my number one. And then I 175 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,959 Speaker 1: think on our pregame, we're looking at nine minutes, so 176 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,319 Speaker 1: we have time for one more. Some of the craziest 177 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: on air moments, I know that we've probably talked about 178 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: a few of them. For me, it was when I 179 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: my mouth was frozen in Minnesota and I was working 180 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,479 Speaker 1: on the sidelines for our college game and it was outdoors, 181 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: Golden Gophers and all, and I said, play cock, not 182 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: play clock. Um so that was a problem. Whoops. But yeah, 183 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: I um, you've had I mean well documented your Richard 184 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: Sherman interview on the sideline. Aside from that, Like, what's 185 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: another crazy one that just jumps out to I mean 186 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: we talked about it, I said, Western Virginia on air 187 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: one time because I was so cold, um so and 188 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: I just like blanked out. But what was the crazy 189 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: craziest on your moments? Like even with dancing other stars, 190 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 1: like did you have oh on? Yeah, we had like 191 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: a protester come on air, like in the middle of 192 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,319 Speaker 1: our show. Tom was unbelievable with that. Also, somebody hurt 193 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 1: their back really bad and had to be taken via ambulance. 194 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: And I just remember our producers saying, hey, can you 195 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: handle this? And I was like, do you know what 196 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: I do for a living on Sundays and Thursdays? I 197 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: got it. An I will say this though, having worked 198 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: on a bunch of different shows, having live experience pays 199 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 1: dividends and moments like that because you never know what's 200 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: going to happen, and the golden rule of live television 201 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: is react to what happens next. If it's controversial, move along, 202 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,079 Speaker 1: and if it's worth it spanning upon the story or 203 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: telling it, then stay on as long as you can 204 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: until the Oscar music comes into play.
