Speaker 1: Calm Down with Aaron and Karissa is a production of
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio. How are we doing? Well? You know
Speaker 1: what I just did. I just moved my head. I
Speaker 1: was like, well, there's the ring light there, it is there.
Speaker 1: She is all right, Here we go, Here we go.
Speaker 1: The Calm Down podcast has provided a lot of insight
Speaker 1: to my friendship with Aaron that dates back five years.
Speaker 1: And I didn't realize that this gal right here is
Speaker 1: a terrible liar. And I say that. I say that
Speaker 1: with affection because no one should be a liar, liar
Speaker 1: pants on fire. But have I tell white lies? Yes,
Speaker 1: I have because I want to avoid conflicts. So that's
Speaker 1: why lies. You don't tell lies to be malicious or
Speaker 1: be harmful. But this one right here, I learned after
Speaker 1: doing the Camera Diaz podcast that she can't tell a lie.
Speaker 1: So right now we're not gonna lie to our wonderful listeners.
Speaker 1: That this podcast has been prerecorded for quality assurance purposes
Speaker 1: because I am in a different state doing a house installed,
Speaker 1: because I have seventy jobs, so thank you. Cut Now,
Speaker 1: what we're doing is we are fresh off the heels
Speaker 1: of our Cameron Diaz Catherine Power interview for aveline and
Speaker 1: we are sitting here off camera, off Mike, talking about like,
Speaker 1: do they like us? Do they really like us? I
Speaker 1: hope they like us. I hope they want to be
Speaker 1: friends with us. So here's my thoughts. I love this wine.
Speaker 1: I'm obsessed with trying to grow my business and be
Speaker 1: better at it, which is why I was so excited
Speaker 1: to talk to Catherine. But there was just a point
Speaker 1: where we were very serious because we were trying to
Speaker 1: be respectful. We were learning about her business, which the
Speaker 1: stories are incredible, which I wanted to learn about for
Speaker 1: my business and I know you did for yours. But
Speaker 1: the other hard part of it for us is we
Speaker 1: were freaking fan girling. I just wanted to talk to
Speaker 1: her about all her movie lines, her dancing, You wanted
Speaker 1: to talk about Nancy Meyers. Like there's so many things,
Speaker 1: and I think the end all be all, And this
Speaker 1: does happen to me. It pretty much happens to me
Speaker 1: every time I interview Tom or you know, someone fabulous.
Speaker 1: I'm like, was I a nerd? Like do they hate me?
Speaker 1: Do they love me? Like? What do I? What am
Speaker 1: I doing? And I just yeah, okay, exactly. So here's
Speaker 1: the thing. So you and I, like many many women
Speaker 1: and men to love Cameron Diaz. How could you not
Speaker 1: love her? I mean, is she She's the all American
Speaker 1: she's been in you know, all these movies that just
Speaker 1: resonate with us as women and even like serious roles
Speaker 1: like Gangs of New York and all of these different
Speaker 1: things that I just love her for. But we do
Speaker 1: have to Like this comes from my time at Extra,
Speaker 1: where there's initiative questions. They're they're there to promote their brand,
Speaker 1: they're there to talk about that and being respectful of
Speaker 1: course to Katherine Power, who's incredible in her own right
Speaker 1: and all of her entrepreneurial endeavors. And if you guys
Speaker 1: listen to last week's episode, do you understand a little
Speaker 1: bit more about that? But it's cameras and we just
Speaker 1: had like a few questions about that. So this is
Speaker 1: my dream scenario. So one time, so I found out
Speaker 1: my ex boyfriend cheated on me. We were in Hawaii.
Speaker 1: I intercepted a text message that was from his girlfriend
Speaker 1: that he had in conjunction with me. I flew back
Speaker 1: from Hawaii. I had to go straight to a junket.
Speaker 1: Aaron's doing eyes Like who is it? You know who
Speaker 1: it is? Okay, I was in Hawaii that person cheated
Speaker 1: on me. You know who it is? Well, yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: trying to figure out, Okay, which got which boyfriend? Oh,
Speaker 1: I know who the guy was, asshole? So he slided
Speaker 1: back from Hawaii and I have to literally go straight
Speaker 1: to a junket like drop the bags, find out my
Speaker 1: life is not what I thought it was. And I
Speaker 1: am going to interview Kate Hudson. I sit down and
Speaker 1: she looks at me. I mind you. At this point
Speaker 1: I had never met her ever. And I sit down
Speaker 1: and I'm a little melancholy. You're welcome to use that
Speaker 1: word in a sentence. You've also hosted the spelling be
Speaker 1: word of origin. And I'm just not like Peppie mcpepperson.
Speaker 1: And she looks at me, mind you. Never having met her,
Speaker 1: she goes, are you okay? It would remind me of
Speaker 1: how you would say it? And I go or ten
Speaker 1: ways to lose a guy like That's how she would be,
Speaker 1: Are you okay? How to lose a guy? In nine days?
Speaker 1: I have the answer to that, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Or nine months? So I am sitting there and she goes,
Speaker 1: are you okay, and I go, nope, I just found
Speaker 1: out my dad. I just found out my boyfriend cheated
Speaker 1: on me. I had to fly back from Hawaii. Also
Speaker 1: knew he had an engagement ring because my mom told
Speaker 1: me that. And so now I'm sitting here she said this, Aaron,
Speaker 1: give me her phone. I go, what mind you? You're
Speaker 1: in the four Seasons in these junket rooms and it
Speaker 1: is like so awkward because the publicist is there and
Speaker 1: it's like a whole thing. I'm like my phone, Like,
Speaker 1: my phone's off to the side. I get up out
Speaker 1: of the chair. I go over and I get my phone.
Speaker 1: I hand it to her. She puts her phone number
Speaker 1: in and she said, you call me and we're going
Speaker 1: to go get a drink and talk about this. Shut
Speaker 1: your mouth. I like started to tear up, and she goes,
Speaker 1: she goes, let's do this interview and we'll talk after.
Speaker 1: And I just will never forget that. Then I would
Speaker 1: lane exactly love her lover. And I ran into her
Speaker 1: at a party after that and she was so great.
Speaker 1: She's like, you never called me. She's like, what happened
Speaker 1: with the guy and the whole thing? Because I'm so sure,
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna call her and be like, hey, I
Speaker 1: remember that junket. I was like, hey, Kate, so here's
Speaker 1: the thing. But she was so kind to me, And
Speaker 1: I think that I just have that idea, whether it's
Speaker 1: Kate Hudson or Cameron Diaz or any of those wonderful
Speaker 1: women in Hollywood that are just like Julian Roberts gals, gals,
Speaker 1: and you want them to be that. And so I
Speaker 1: don't know, I just think about that, and so I
Speaker 1: just want camer to like us. But anyways, I know
Speaker 1: I want Cameron to like us too. And I'm still
Speaker 1: drinking the Evelyn one that's perfect. So yeah, that's something
Speaker 1: that's going to give me chest pains throughout the evening.
Speaker 1: But that's okay. Um, you said you had chest pains
Speaker 1: at the airport. What was your situation there? Welcome to
Speaker 1: my Thursday and Saturday and Sunday. Okay, So I have
Speaker 1: as you know, Um, I've had a rough few weeks. Um.
Speaker 1: Katy Thompson came to town to visit me. We were
Speaker 1: just doing gal time, catching up. Sometimes a gal just
Speaker 1: needs your mom and the other. This gal ended up
Speaker 1: talking to you and your mom for three and a
Speaker 1: half hours. And hours. In forty four minutes, I was
Speaker 1: sitting on my couch and you and I started talking.
Speaker 1: We hadn't been able to connect all week because of
Speaker 1: a myriaded situations, and then all of a sudden we
Speaker 1: started talking. And then Kathy gets involved in the conversation,
Speaker 1: and then it was just two bottles of wine and
Speaker 1: game over. But she was here and um anyways, so
Speaker 1: she was watching the dogs because I had to leave town.
Speaker 1: But I was at the airport with Jillian. Again. Jillian
Speaker 1: finds her way into every episode as she should. That
Speaker 1: little CUTI CUTI. So Jillian is a little sneaking low.
Speaker 1: That's how she Jillian is a sneak attack with the phone.
Speaker 1: She's constantly like doing insto stories, but there's stealth and
Speaker 1: you don't know she's doing them until all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: it's like you've been tagged in a post by Julian
Speaker 1: Gregory and I'm like, what what's happening here? I have
Speaker 1: a thing. So I met my husband on a plane.
Speaker 1: I sat next to him six am, and I had
Speaker 1: not up until that point thought about what I look
Speaker 1: like on a plane, because who does at six am?
Speaker 1: But after that sit suation, I think to myself, like
Speaker 1: I should be more presentable on plates, not for any
Speaker 1: other reason, just like back in the day and you
Speaker 1: know whatever in the fifties, like you would actually dress
Speaker 1: up to go on a plane, and like now you
Speaker 1: see people in their freaking pajamas smoke. So after the interview,
Speaker 1: I'm in Miami. After the interview, I don't want to
Speaker 1: be slipping around on the airplane. So I opened up
Speaker 1: my suitcase as any degenerate would on the side of
Speaker 1: the sidewalk, clothes flinging out because I had a nude
Speaker 1: bra on and anyone you guys, this guys can tune out. Well,
Speaker 1: actually know, guys, listen up, There's there's nothing attractive about
Speaker 1: a nude bra. Let's just get it out there. Okay,
Speaker 1: you're only wearing a nude bra because you have on
Speaker 1: a cream shirt or a white T shirt, and you
Speaker 1: don't want it to be c like a c through situation.
Speaker 1: I don't like the look. I don't want to see
Speaker 1: the nude strap. I'm not into it. So I was
Speaker 1: rifling through my bag looking for a cuter bra in
Speaker 1: case the shoulders slipped off, the sweaters slipped off the shoulder,
Speaker 1: and I could be like just cute and entible, you know,
Speaker 1: for no other reason than my own self confidence. So
Speaker 1: John did a snake attack, and I look like an
Speaker 1: asshole who's throwing her ship on the side of a sidewalk.
Speaker 1: And then we get into the airport and I don't
Speaker 1: have socks on because I'm just had slipped my foot
Speaker 1: into a van's shoe situation. And I pull out socks
Speaker 1: out of my travel back because I have a real thing.
Speaker 1: If you're wearing sandals or a slide and shoe or whatever,
Speaker 1: and you're gonna go through T. S A. If I
Speaker 1: see anyone bare foot through T. S A, we got
Speaker 1: a problem. Dinge mc dinge. Now we're tiptoeing, and I
Speaker 1: understand every now and then it happens. But if you
Speaker 1: know you're walking into that situation, those socks better be
Speaker 1: in an auxiliary situation because I don't want to Why
Speaker 1: are you taking your shoes off? Anyways? Pre check okay?
Speaker 1: And I don't want to talk about it. What you
Speaker 1: know this? You piss off the government. I don't want
Speaker 1: to talk about it. I want to have tied for this.
Speaker 1: Then you gotta take the tech. You gotta like go
Speaker 1: and you gotta up and it's not like you have
Speaker 1: to parallel park. You can just gotta fill some things out. Okay,
Speaker 1: you know what, after this season, I will physically freaking
Speaker 1: forget that. I will pick you up in an uber.
Speaker 1: I will take you to l A X and we
Speaker 1: will freaking I don't even think you need to do that.
Speaker 1: I think it's an online situation. No, I don't want
Speaker 1: it's like too much time and then like and then
Speaker 1: put in your current. It's too much time is sitting
Speaker 1: in that damn line. I can't do that. No, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: I mean maybe I want to take my computer out.
Speaker 1: Maybe I want to fratten eyes with the locals. I
Speaker 1: don't know. But regardless, I have not out in the streets.
Speaker 1: That should be the drinking game every time I'm in
Speaker 1: the streets, but I just don't. Anyways, I'm not t
Speaker 1: s a pre check. Fine, so I'm taking off the shoes,
Speaker 1: but I get really dinged out when I see people
Speaker 1: going through the line without the shoes on. So anyways,
Speaker 1: that's why I was rifling through my suitcase was to
Speaker 1: avoid the nude braw find some socks, and be prepared
Speaker 1: for the line to come, so that was my week?
Speaker 1: How is yours? So? Anyways, that's why I was rifling
Speaker 1: through my suitcase was to avoid the nude braw, find
Speaker 1: some socks, and be prepared for the line to come.
Speaker 1: So that was my week? How is yours? Well? I
Speaker 1: just I'm not done with this whole like having to
Speaker 1: have like a formal dressed situation on the plane. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm lucky if I have white the makeup off my
Speaker 1: face from yesterday when I get into plane, I'm not interested.
Speaker 1: And now I feel like the mask has given me
Speaker 1: even more freedom to not give an f So I
Speaker 1: am A new thing in my life which we have
Speaker 1: yet to discuss offline is spider veins. Um. I knew
Speaker 1: at some point they were gonna I was gonna get
Speaker 1: him because my sister has him, and my mom has him,
Speaker 1: and I have poor circulation in my Explain what spider
Speaker 1: veins are. If anyone doesn't know what they're start the violin.
Speaker 1: It's just these little like purple veins. I heard you
Speaker 1: could get him injected with sailing. Um. Of course, Julian
Speaker 1: finds her way into the broadcast. She always says, well,
Speaker 1: I got the guy for you. I know somebody that
Speaker 1: can do it for you my doctor, So anyways, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go to him at some point. Apparently he's fabulous.
Speaker 1: So anyways, I've started to get spider veins. I used
Speaker 1: to be really good about wearing compression pants, like I
Speaker 1: want the ones that there's like no pulse going through
Speaker 1: my body. But like so Dadre can't feel herself from
Speaker 1: the waist down. It's all part of the experience. So
Speaker 1: I've got those. You can't wear a compression pant and
Speaker 1: then we're a gene that's not happening. So what I
Speaker 1: do is I put a like a workout pant on.
Speaker 1: So basically, I'm just trying to tell you I'm not
Speaker 1: dressing up on a flight, and I don't feel bad
Speaker 1: about it. I do need to pick it up in
Speaker 1: the I give a ship factor, because I saw myself
Speaker 1: walking around yesterday in front of my husband and I
Speaker 1: was like, Wow, this is not good. You know, explain
Speaker 1: further what you mean. Well, I just feel like when
Speaker 1: I'm home, I'm home home, and Mommy doesn't have to
Speaker 1: give a ship And like I called you yesterday and
Speaker 1: I face timed you in my bathrobe and my two
Speaker 1: right there, hold on, I'm gonna I'm a twenty second
Speaker 1: time out this and interrupt Cameron like I did on
Speaker 1: last week's broadcast. Um, so Aaron and I have again.
Speaker 1: There's no more supportive friend than Aaron. So when she
Speaker 1: knows I need some love and attention, she is always
Speaker 1: there for me. So like the second I get off
Speaker 1: set suffocating, she's no, no, it's like it's like those
Speaker 1: um what are those blankets? Those uh those comfort You're
Speaker 1: like that when I need you in my life, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, please, please, waited, waited, Copper. So the second
Speaker 1: I get off set, because you weren't working two Sundays
Speaker 1: ago and it was like your first Sunday off in
Speaker 1: a minute, and so you call me and you face
Speaker 1: on me. But I was walking into our green room
Speaker 1: and one of our bosses goes, let me guess it's
Speaker 1: you and e a talking. And then our other boss goes, oh,
Speaker 1: I thought she was taking a selfie. And here's we
Speaker 1: love working at Fox for a bazillion reasons. But if
Speaker 1: this was you and I at the other network with
Speaker 1: four letters I've been there, no one would have even
Speaker 1: allowed us to talk on the phone. They would have
Speaker 1: been like to be constant. I would have been suspended.
Speaker 1: Well exactly, I mean me too. Um. So, we love
Speaker 1: Fox for so many reasons, but they also just know
Speaker 1: us and our friendship and they're like, oh, let me
Speaker 1: guess these two together. So that and you flipped the
Speaker 1: phone around and my boss saw me in my bathroom
Speaker 1: and I was like, hi, guys, so yes, so bringing
Speaker 1: it back to that, because we don't care what we
Speaker 1: look like. Not to mention, I had a terrible shirt
Speaker 1: on and an interview I did with to a tongue
Speaker 1: of violo and Jaylet didn't. It was a shirt that
Speaker 1: I had to wear because it was a last minute interview.
Speaker 1: It's all I had. It's fine, and Terry Bradshaw, being
Speaker 1: as awesome as he is, goes, what were you thinking
Speaker 1: picking out that shirt? He started laughing, and I go,
Speaker 1: I wasn't thinking. So anyways, we love working at Fox,
Speaker 1: but we also don't give a ship what we look like. Sometimes.
Speaker 1: But I will say this, I had a next boyfriend
Speaker 1: say to me one time, not the one that cheated
Speaker 1: on me. I had a boyfriends say to me one
Speaker 1: time after I would get off air at Fox, you
Speaker 1: know you're all done up. You've got your dress on
Speaker 1: the makeup the whole thing, and I would come home
Speaker 1: immediately take a shower because like wipe off the makeup,
Speaker 1: get comfy, and he's like, could you maybe just like
Speaker 1: leave the dress in the makeup on for like an
Speaker 1: hour after you come home? Because why does America get
Speaker 1: that version of you? And I don't. I see my husband.
Speaker 1: I would come home from Dancing with the Stars and
Speaker 1: he'd be like wolf one time, and this person will
Speaker 1: remain nameless. I had and this is a good conversation
Speaker 1: I've had with one of my co workers. He cannot
Speaker 1: stand girls done up, and I appreciate that, but it's
Speaker 1: like I need to I need to make a little
Speaker 1: bit of an effort, you know, like brush your teeth.
Speaker 1: You know, I brush it, but like brush him again. Um. Anyways,
Speaker 1: but like one time I had a makeup artist and
Speaker 1: I went and I did It's great. One time I
Speaker 1: did a Dallas game and I this woman she just
Speaker 1: did it way too much and I went to go
Speaker 1: say hi, Dak and he turned around makeup and he went, whoa.
Speaker 1: He's just like when you're a adding that reaction, it's
Speaker 1: not good. How have we been recording this for twenty
Speaker 1: five minutes? And we've talked about absolutely nothing. Also, fourth
Speaker 1: and long, isn't your problem, dec it's Aaron's contour. I
Speaker 1: think it was the lashes. They were reaching out and
Speaker 1: touching someone. Oh my god, are you doing on your
Speaker 1: Christmas penalty? Holding on the defense. It's infraction Aaron's lashes.
Speaker 1: Oh I got hold on for one more day. How
Speaker 1: are you doing with your Christmas shopping? Ryan just Texas
Speaker 1: and said it's only been fifteen it's a typo. Oh
Speaker 1: my god. Well that's producing if I've ever heard it.
Speaker 1: That's like Joel telling me we don't we don't have
Speaker 1: much time after a Rogers interview and I finished it
Speaker 1: and he's like, well, we had a ton of time.
Speaker 1: I am sick of this time. Thing. Is that the
Speaker 1: essence you mentioned Christmas shopping? Okay? I haven't tell you,
Speaker 1: but you just hold on hold that thought. Look at
Speaker 1: the ring light in the reflection of the TV for
Speaker 1: a second, would you? Okay? Okay, looks great. A couple
Speaker 1: of weeks ago I told you that I had already
Speaker 1: gotten one of your press sense. I'm already putting all
Speaker 1: of your presence. Here's another one. I got you that too.
Speaker 1: I already have that I bought it in October? Did

Speaker 1: on it. I just got it. Here you keep yours
Speaker 1: and I'll keep mine. And here's your skincare live. I've
Speaker 1: got them all. I can't wait to try that. So
Speaker 1: this is who I am as a gift giver. I
Speaker 1: can't I can't hide what I'm gonna give you. Already
Speaker 1: told you about the ugly sweater. Those are my Christmas
Speaker 1: presents and you're showing me. Yeah, I know. I can't
Speaker 1: hide because I get so excited that I share, and
Speaker 1: then I feel bad. So that Christmas you'll get more
Speaker 1: presents because I'm like, oh, I already told her about
Speaker 1: the presence, and then those aren't really presents because I
Speaker 1: told her about them, you know, So keep the coffee
Speaker 1: table book and I'll keep mine because I got you
Speaker 1: the same exact thing. And um, the next one is
Speaker 1: what was I going to say? You are making fun
Speaker 1: of me because I can't lie, But you can't keep
Speaker 1: a secret about giving. I can't. I can't because I
Speaker 1: get too excited. I want to tell everyone. I'm like,

Speaker 1: easy to buy for you. I need to buy for yourself. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, Um, I'm not a great gift giver and
Speaker 1: it's an area of my life that I want to
Speaker 1: be better at. And I'm gonna tell you what, stop No,
Speaker 1: I disagree. Okay, Well, I have many bracelets on my
Speaker 1: risk from you that are fabulous. Well, I wish I
Speaker 1: could say the same. Mind are falling off. I'm kidding
Speaker 1: what this? So? I want to be more thoughtful about gifts,
Speaker 1: and I want to do it because I know when
Speaker 1: I receive a gift that has a lot of thought
Speaker 1: behind it, I am so appreciative and it doesn't matter
Speaker 1: to the denomination anything. I just think like, effort is effort,
Speaker 1: and I love even a card, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna try to be better about it. But
Speaker 1: they're so good at that I'm not. I'm not there
Speaker 1: yet with my shopping? How are you? What are we?
Speaker 1: What are you doing over that? I'm not there yet
Speaker 1: with my shopping? How are you? What are we? What
Speaker 1: are you doing over there? I made a dent yesterday.
Speaker 1: The hardest thing I find is my parents, right, my

Speaker 1: gonna tell you, am I the only one here? I'm
Speaker 1: still here? I'm okay, No, I'm drinking hi um. This guy,

Speaker 1: presents going to come? I'm like, are you thirty nine?
Speaker 1: Or are you nine so I was telling you a
Speaker 1: little story. I'm not great with gift giving, but I'm
Speaker 1: really good at stocking stuffers, and that has a lot
Speaker 1: to do for my mom and dad. My mom and
Speaker 1: dad do awesome with our stocking stuffers. And this is
Speaker 1: an expensive gift. This isn't an expensive bracelet. My mom
Speaker 1: will go to CVS and she'll have a heyday. She's like, oh,
Speaker 1: ear plugs because she knows I love him on the road. Oh,
Speaker 1: and knows trimmer because I lima. Why doesn't anyone tell
Speaker 1: you I have like a new yeah, chopstick, deodorant, breath mints,
Speaker 1: sanitizer wipes, like mascara hair bands. My mom like, she's
Speaker 1: so great. I do have a funny Andrew's Christmas story.
Speaker 1: This is great my mom. I don't care how creepy
Speaker 1: it sounds. I don't find it creepy. It's great. My
Speaker 1: mom buys me all my Andy's. I love her so much.
Speaker 1: And she used yeah me Andy's. Well, certainly she would
Speaker 1: go to a certain place with my dad, my sister,
Speaker 1: and I would have you know one my dad would
Speaker 1: stick out one arm for me and one arm for Ken.
Speaker 1: He put his head down in the underwear store, and
Speaker 1: my mom would just start putting thongs on each one
Speaker 1: of his arms. I was gonna say, this does sound creepy,
Speaker 1: but the fact that Stevo put his head down, I
Speaker 1: was like, I don't want to know is everything you
Speaker 1: didn't know about. And my mom would just have an
Speaker 1: Aaron pile and a Kendrap pile, and my dad would
Speaker 1: have thongs on each arm and my mom would be like, Okay,
Speaker 1: add these up. Add these up. So great. But yeah,
Speaker 1: and so my parents do such a great job with
Speaker 1: stocking stuffers and I love doing that too. I found
Speaker 1: some great ones, and I feel like any website that
Speaker 1: you go to right now, they always have fun little
Speaker 1: stocking stuffer sections. So I've nailed it in the stocking
Speaker 1: stuffer department. Funny story about my husband and how he
Speaker 1: loves Christmas and he just wants he wants the presidents
Speaker 1: all wrapped. He wants to sit and look at what
Speaker 1: he's getting and he rips through him like a ten
Speaker 1: year old. But when we first started dating, he bought
Speaker 1: me a stocking. It was really great. I got his,
Speaker 1: I brought it upstairs, I filled it with all this stuff.
Speaker 1: I brought it down and we did our Christmas together,
Speaker 1: and he goes, well, I didn't know we filled the stockings.
Speaker 1: I mean, what what did you think they were for?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, but I guess if that's
Speaker 1: the thing, if you didn't grow up like my Kathy
Speaker 1: and Scott, are you know the same thing as your
Speaker 1: family like Clark and Ellen Griswold Line one and two.
Speaker 1: So if you don't know that stockings are a thing,
Speaker 1: you don't do it like that. Kathy wraps each individual chapstick.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a lot of effort. What I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you what she really wraps? You know how much effort.
Speaker 1: First of all, I don't want to wrap a box.
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, where's a bag? Give me some tissue paper.
Speaker 1: I'm a very lazy wrapper gift giver. I'm always looking
Speaker 1: for a bag in a piece of tissue paper. But
Speaker 1: she'll wrap every single stocking stuffer. Um, But you know
Speaker 1: what was this? What was the deal with the tangerine?
Speaker 1: Come down here real quick. I'm telling Jerry to come
Speaker 1: down here to tell us his Christmas like loves and
Speaker 1: pet peeves. But why the tag hearing in the bottom
Speaker 1: of the stocking? Who started that idea? Who's um the
Speaker 1: inception of the orange in the stocking? I need to
Speaker 1: know where that came from. So after a few years,
Speaker 1: I was like, Mom, what are we doing here with
Speaker 1: the orange? Goes all? You're supposed to do that according
Speaker 1: to who Now. One Christmas, my brother and I. I
Speaker 1: was eleven, he was thirteen, of course, and I really
Speaker 1: wanted these half cowboy boots. It was all I wanted
Speaker 1: in my life. And I was like, I really hope
Speaker 1: moment you know the ones that they were the angle
Speaker 1: big at the time. So I was eleven, so what
Speaker 1: is this ninety three? Yeah? I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I really hope my dad bought me these boots. I
Speaker 1: really hope that my brother goes, well, why don't we
Speaker 1: open everything and find out? So Kathy is meticulous about
Speaker 1: wrapping paper. She has this thing all the wrapping paper
Speaker 1: has to match, like if the if the oh no,
Speaker 1: she's she is Martha this way if the trees theme
Speaker 1: was gold for like the ornaments and to then it
Speaker 1: was gold. Wrapping paper was red wrapping paper well red rover,
Speaker 1: red rover. Send me and my brother right over and
Speaker 1: we opened up every gift looking for these cowboy boots.
Speaker 1: For me, they weren't under the tree. Well, then we
Speaker 1: had to find more of the red wrapping paper re
Speaker 1: wrap all the gifts and I never got the fucking
Speaker 1: cowboy boots. And to this day, I think to myself,
Speaker 1: it's all I ever wanted, you know. It's like, send
Speaker 1: me a link and I'll get them for you. I love,
Speaker 1: thank you so much. I'm telling you everybody on our
Speaker 1: podcast how you are like basically a nine year old
Speaker 1: for Christmas and it is the tree on right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he came home put the trusting and I told Chris
Speaker 1: that all you want is to wrap the gifts and
Speaker 1: put them under the tree and sit and look at them,
Speaker 1: don't you what's the look of it? And you're so cute?
Speaker 1: Dark give anybody tips at home? I was saying, how
Speaker 1: difficult it is to buy for you sometimes although I
Speaker 1: know exactly what you want, it's easy, But I'm trying
Speaker 1: to be creative. What are some tips of the trade
Speaker 1: for men out there and buying for like a men's
Speaker 1: gift giving god, yeah, men's gift giving gide babe, what
Speaker 1: do you try to do to to nail it in
Speaker 1: the present department? Starting in like September, up to WHOA
Speaker 1: start listening. Oh, that's when you're listening. Now, that's when
Speaker 1: you need to listen. Aron. Oh no, I'm saying, when
Speaker 1: what helps you get me a great gift? Or what
Speaker 1: would you suggest for other men? Not? But that's not
Speaker 1: what you just said. You just said you need a
Speaker 1: men's gift give in God. And now you're saying, no,
Speaker 1: I need help guys. What helps guys buy for girls? Oh?
Speaker 1: I thought you were asking the other way, how like what? Oh? Okay,
Speaker 1: follow along. I was saying, what helps you in terms
Speaker 1: of buying from definitely hard to get you stuff, but
Speaker 1: I don't know a little stuff. You know what we
Speaker 1: do for each other a lot? Because I just saw him.
Speaker 1: Look over, Oh my god, this guy one of his
Speaker 1: best presents to all of us. He got us all
Speaker 1: like ten lottery tickets in the family. And it was like,
Speaker 1: that's a good one. That's a great one. But here's
Speaker 1: the problem. If someone wins, are you then obligated to
Speaker 1: split it? I was very concerned at that time. Million
Speaker 1: so I was like, hey, what are the rules if
Speaker 1: someone had one in that given scenario, Jarrett, what would
Speaker 1: you have done? Yeah? Everyone obligated to split it? I
Speaker 1: have no idea, and I didn't state the rules beforehand.
Speaker 1: I should have. I was very worried about the rules
Speaker 1: because both sets of families were there, and I was
Speaker 1: very worried and it was our house. So I felt like,
Speaker 1: if anyone wins, we should get it another great thing.
Speaker 1: And I'll try to see if I can do this.
Speaker 1: Because he just looked over is getting pictures framed? Like?
Speaker 1: That's one? N I gotta tell you, I love that.
Speaker 1: That's personal. Yeah, I love it? So who did that? Did?
Speaker 1: Who framed those? So? Jared framed that one of me
Speaker 1: and Brady? You did all of these? Jared? You got that?
Speaker 1: You got that one of me and Brady done? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Maybe that's I don't know. Oh yeah, maybe you got
Speaker 1: the poppy one. He just got my Leonard four net
Speaker 1: jersey framed for me. That was cute, but just like anything.
Speaker 1: One of my greatest gifts my parents, my parents, is that?
Speaker 1: Oh is that a Christmas gift? Um? One of the
Speaker 1: greatest gifts my mom and dad ever gave me was
Speaker 1: a picture of my grandparents at dinner on their honeymoon
Speaker 1: in New York and my mom and dad. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was Tavern on the Green and they did it and
Speaker 1: it's a black and white foe know, and my mom
Speaker 1: had it blown up and nicely framed and like that's
Speaker 1: in our living room. Well, because I will say this, like,
Speaker 1: when you get to a certain point in your life,
Speaker 1: if you're lucky enough, you can buy what you want
Speaker 1: right and you're like, Okay, I'll buy that for myself.
Speaker 1: But it's the things that you can't buy. And that's
Speaker 1: what I was saying. I want to be more mindful
Speaker 1: of those personal gifts, and um, I will make a
Speaker 1: concerted effort to do that, because that is definitely those
Speaker 1: things that you remember the most. Like even remember when
Speaker 1: I bought you the um Stee Magnolia's thing or the
Speaker 1: Julia Roberts and you like Ken of got me that
Speaker 1: from my O. God, yeah, I love that. Ken's really creative.
Speaker 1: And I'll Kendra on the podcast. Oh two things my
Speaker 1: sister has done which are unbelievable gifts. One of them
Speaker 1: that my sister did was she got a wood block
Speaker 1: or cutting board that, um, you know, everybody can use
Speaker 1: a cutting board. You can use it as a cheeseboard,
Speaker 1: you could use it as whatever, an actual cutting board.
Speaker 1: There is a company out there google everything. My sister
Speaker 1: got it done for myself. She got one done for
Speaker 1: Jarrett of our favorite recipes our parents have done and
Speaker 1: it's in our parents handwriting, like knock it off. Hand
Speaker 1: me a tissue and caught my sister one Christmas last year,
Speaker 1: it was a sentimental year, like it's COVID, we're not
Speaker 1: with my parents. My dad had had a heart attack,
Speaker 1: so she went all out, like every every gift she
Speaker 1: gave was like a sentimental one. And then the other
Speaker 1: one she gave us was this thing called Storybook story Worth.
Speaker 1: She did it for my parents and she did it
Speaker 1: for Jared parents. So cute he does. He just looked
Speaker 1: it up. Yeah, and it's basically they send your parents
Speaker 1: a bunch of questions about their life and their parents,
Speaker 1: and they write things up and they give pictures and
Speaker 1: then you get a book about your parents and your grandparents. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this guy, Jared. I can't um my mom for Mother's Day.
Speaker 1: I didn't know what to get her again, It's like
Speaker 1: I had already b by Jarrett, I had already bought
Speaker 1: her stuff, you know, like my mom's My mom is
Speaker 1: so simple in the best way. She only wants to
Speaker 1: give to everybody else. She never does anything for herself.
Speaker 1: The only thing she like buys her hair extensions for herself,
Speaker 1: like Mrs Gluttonous. And I was like, no, no, you're not.
Speaker 1: But for Mother's Day, I had gotten her a book
Speaker 1: and it was a book that I got for like whatever.
Speaker 1: Books are Barnes and Noble, and you tell a memory
Speaker 1: of something and then you write all these things out right,
Speaker 1: is like forty pages of different memories and then you
Speaker 1: send it to your mom or your dad or whoever,
Speaker 1: and then they write their version of the same memory
Speaker 1: and it's like something you have. And she mentioned it
Speaker 1: the other night when she was here. She was like,
Speaker 1: that was just my favorite gift. So our takeaway for
Speaker 1: this Christmas now, in summary, is let's do sentimental sweet gifts.
Speaker 1: And I don't spend money on people. You just need
Speaker 1: to make effort. And so for Cameron Diaz, I think
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get her like a book that tells me
Speaker 1: like her my favorite. For Cameron Diaz, I'm going to
Speaker 1: give her a handmade give certificate to come hang out
Speaker 1: with me anytime so she can see the real meat.
Speaker 1: I used to do that all the time for my parents.
Speaker 1: When I know many a free car wash, and I'll
Speaker 1: make you a cup of tea. Those little coupon books,
Speaker 1: you know the ones that's when life was easy and good. Look,
Speaker 1: here's the deal, tis the season. I don't I don't
Speaker 1: think we have to like keep rambling on about nothing,
Speaker 1: but I think what we should do to make sure
Speaker 1: that we I continue on with my question, Comment and
Speaker 1: Concern Calm Down Podcast. Isn't sure that you guys send
Speaker 1: us a d M of a question, comment and concern
Speaker 1: around the holidays and we will answer it next episode.
Speaker 1: And anyone that has great links to personal gift ideas,
Speaker 1: we are ready. I also think we should think about
Speaker 1: having an offensive lineman come on, because we got a
Speaker 1: lot of good response from my favorite offensive lineman who
Speaker 1: were like even on game day as certain rams offensive
Speaker 1: lineman was like, yes, spread the word about the big fellas,
Speaker 1: Lucas Patrick, given me some loves like you know the virus? Yeah,
