Speaker 1: Listen. I have to talk to you. We have to
Speaker 1: do something about your armpits. Like it's just not working
Speaker 1: and this is just not a safe environment for any
Speaker 1: of us, you know. Calm Down with Aaron and Carissa
Speaker 1: is a production of I Heart Radio. Hello from windy
Speaker 1: Southern California. When the wind starts going on or however
Speaker 1: you say this. By the way, full disclosure, I'm working
Speaker 1: on four hours sleep. You can tell from the puffiness
Speaker 1: and the rest puffy at all. In fact, you're glowing.
Speaker 1: It looks like you just I didn't. I've got massive
Speaker 1: chin apne starting to develop any makeup on your face,
Speaker 1: because you really do look like you're glowing. It's like
Speaker 1: a son. Do you really it looks oily? No, it's
Speaker 1: from the light. It's reflecting. Yeavantin to makeup on to
Speaker 1: try to make me look alive, look alive, would you? Hey?
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Calm Down Podcast. We appreciate you guys
Speaker 1: tuning into our pregame segment. I was about to say,
Speaker 1: when it's windy and when it starts to rain, everything
Speaker 1: in our house goes to ship. How well we know you.
Speaker 1: That's why my hair's all went Because this is from
Speaker 1: the leaky even swimming you swam from the living room. Yeah,
Speaker 1: um well everyone, As you know, our pregame is one
Speaker 1: of my favorite things I have to say, because it's
Speaker 1: when we get to answer you guys as questions. We
Speaker 1: appreciate me submitting them always, and it also prompts which
Speaker 1: I'm already looking at some of these, which will get
Speaker 1: into will answer them, and then it also sparks a
Speaker 1: larger conversation for the full podcast that airs on Thursday.
Speaker 1: So first up, I have questions d Griffin nine eighty.
Speaker 1: Are you feeling swaggy today? Is that for? I mean,
Speaker 1: is there a story behind this? Did you say swaggy?
Speaker 1: At some point I had a player say you were
Speaker 1: pretty swaggy or that's a swaggy outfit or something like that.
Speaker 1: I remember that was week one, Yeah I remember that.
Speaker 1: But Bay Minnesota, that's a swaggy outfit you got on there.
Speaker 1: I'm just I do not feel swaggy at all that
Speaker 1: you when I called you or a tissue or whatever earlier,
Speaker 1: I was like, you are b I know that four
Speaker 1: m wake up call for that six AMS light out
Speaker 1: of Minnesota. You had an unbelievable game yesterday of course
Speaker 1: Giants winning the wild Card weekend was appropriately named a
Speaker 1: bunch of wild Games? So are you feeling swaggy? My
Speaker 1: girl needs a nap, but she's a gamer, that's what
Speaker 1: she does. So but there's no time for an app
Speaker 1: because we got a Monster game coming up. Yeah, we do.
Speaker 1: We taped this on Monday, so of course we got
Speaker 1: the Dallas and the Buccaneers game coming up after this.
Speaker 1: Dallas and Buccaneers. How would you just say Dallas and
Speaker 1: Tampa anyways? First day on the job. Next question, gab By,
Speaker 1: any any advice on how to deal with a colleague
Speaker 1: who has extreme body odor? I am, I have a
Speaker 1: really sensitive nose and breath and body odor is just
Speaker 1: something that freaks me out. I think you could make
Speaker 1: a hint about it, but I think in the end
Speaker 1: you need to just come out and say it, because
Speaker 1: you don't want to be rude and you don't want
Speaker 1: to be nasty. But how would you say it? I
Speaker 1: would not have the balls to say it. I said,
Speaker 1: I have to talk to you. We have to do
Speaker 1: something about your your armpits. Like, I know that's probably
Speaker 1: not the best thing to say, but like it's just
Speaker 1: not working, and this is just not a safe environment
Speaker 1: for any of us. You know, I'm so uncomfortable even
Speaker 1: thinking about this conversation. I can't handle bo. I mean
Speaker 1: there was a game actually the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: I was so worried. I forgot to like put on
Speaker 1: deitter and I didn't. But like on the sidelines, I
Speaker 1: kept trying to act like I was like checking my
Speaker 1: like my sides, and I was putting my nose like
Speaker 1: by my arm pits. I mean, no one would have spelled.
Speaker 1: I've done that a million times. We're talking about how
Speaker 1: you spell for your breath. I would have to see
Speaker 1: if I have anything. I'm just like so stretching, I like,
Speaker 1: do the fixed stretch and lean back because I'm with you.
Speaker 1: I should be at t s I forget my German
Speaker 1: shepherd working as a t s A dog. I should
Speaker 1: work at T s A because I can sniff out anything,
Speaker 1: which is why I'm always carrying perfume meant something. I
Speaker 1: would not have the balls to say the thing to
Speaker 1: a colleague away. I would have to. I would just
Speaker 1: put on the deal or perfume like excessively in front
Speaker 1: of them and be like, oh, do you want some?
Speaker 1: I know, but there's only so many hints like people
Speaker 1: can take until it's like, Okay, this is not a
Speaker 1: safe and there's only so much b O I can
Speaker 1: take before we're passing out. Exactly like Okay, Allison the
Speaker 1: new biggest shocker from the first weekend of the playoffs.
Speaker 1: I mean, where do you want to begin. I'll start
Speaker 1: with you, sister, the Jacksonville come back with funny darn
Speaker 1: fun Um she's seven point going a halftime. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: was unbelievable. What were you thinking abouten you were watching that? Um,
Speaker 1: this bed is so cozy coming and I'm watching it. Um,
Speaker 1: just oh my god, this is amazing. And what if
Speaker 1: what is everybody's at all? Weekend with the Brian Dables
Speaker 1: of the world, the Duck Peterson's of the world. Co
Speaker 1: changing matters. You said it on your show so many times. Matters, matters, matters.
Speaker 1: I love that. I love seeing the Giants. I loved
Speaker 1: watching your game, and you know, watching a team and
Speaker 1: watching Daniel Jones, who of course has had a a
Speaker 1: numerable amount of pundance. He was came out looking great
Speaker 1: in that game. I don't know. I think the fact
Speaker 1: that Buffalo stumbled to the finish line in that game,
Speaker 1: and then even the Ravens, the Ravens had a shot
Speaker 1: to win, you know, a snoop head, you know, not
Speaker 1: went over the top and not had that fumble return
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. I don't know, there was a lot
Speaker 1: of different I loved it. I mean, this is playoffs, baby,
Speaker 1: I don't need to tell you know. It's really fun.
Speaker 1: Is watching with Mike Carrera, Like it's almost like watching
Speaker 1: a hockey game with my husband. He knows the penalty,
Speaker 1: he knows exactly what's being called. He knows what should
Speaker 1: be called. Last night after our game we went to
Speaker 1: go have dinner. We had our phones out when we
Speaker 1: were watching the game, and Mike care I was like,
Speaker 1: this is this, this is this? So I was like,
Speaker 1: this is a turn on whenever. I love that. I
Speaker 1: love watching football with And that's how it is on
Speaker 1: Sundays with the guys, like in the green room and stuff,
Speaker 1: because like Sean Payton has this whole thing right before
Speaker 1: because he knows that, like I love gambling. So before
Speaker 1: the game he gets up, he's like, you need to
Speaker 1: do this, you need to do this, you need to
Speaker 1: do this, and then like as players are unfolding, he
Speaker 1: like shouldn't have done that, you should have done this.
Speaker 1: It's like, it's all of the things that's so great.
Speaker 1: I was into this Ron H ten sixty seven. How
Speaker 1: heavy was the jet necklace? How cool was that? Was
Speaker 1: really cool? By the way, I thought my husband I
Speaker 1: was telling him about it today and he was just like,
Speaker 1: that would never happen in a hockey playoff game, that
Speaker 1: one of the star players would be like, here, you
Speaker 1: can wear my chain for your feature. For those of
Speaker 1: you guys that didn't see it, Justin Jefferson, who Aaron
Speaker 1: sat down with, who has been the best wide receiver
Speaker 1: in the National Football League sitricated interview, she was doing
Speaker 1: her hit and she was wearing How heavy was that thing? Though? Really,
Speaker 1: to his question, was pretty heavy? Ide looked heavy. I
Speaker 1: don't know, but I was really nervous with it around
Speaker 1: my neck, even walking on the sidelines with it. I
Speaker 1: wanted to give it back to the Vikings pr immediately.
Speaker 1: But I love you, Justin Jefferson, that was so sweet
Speaker 1: of you, So thank you. It was heavy heavy? Uh? Right?
Speaker 1: Question Mark? I like the way she spells at How
Speaker 1: hard are midgame sideline interviews difficult? With coach emotions? That's
Speaker 1: all your sister. They're hard. I mean, we on Fox,
Speaker 1: which I'm actually glad about, don't do those ones where
Speaker 1: they're on camera. I don't like that. I mean I'm
Speaker 1: not talking badly about any network that does it. But
Speaker 1: the reason why I like how we do it, either
Speaker 1: going into the half or coming out of the half,
Speaker 1: the coach can be as annoyed or as fired up
Speaker 1: or as like honest as you want. Kyle Shanahan so
Speaker 1: honest half the time. I wish I could say all
Speaker 1: the bad words that he uses, because I feel like
Speaker 1: it really drives the point home. But listen, I feel
Speaker 1: like personally, you get so much more out of a
Speaker 1: coach when you're off camera. He sees you writing it down.
Speaker 1: I mean like the other day, Gosh Darnett, who Gosh Darnett,
Speaker 1: Who Oh Mike McCarthy the Dallas Washington game week eighteen,
Speaker 1: I mean, they had turned the ball over quite a bit,
Speaker 1: and I love coach McCarthy, So look, Aaron, you know
Speaker 1: you can't turn the ball over like that. Like he's
Speaker 1: not going to say that to me on camera, And um,
Speaker 1: I have a feeling that this was pointed towards the
Speaker 1: interview last night with John Harbaugh and Melissa Stark. I
Speaker 1: was not watching that in real time. I saw it
Speaker 1: when it was posted on the internet. I have to
Speaker 1: be honest with you. I didn't think he was rude.
Speaker 1: I just thought it was a coach that was coaching
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. He I don't even know what was happening.
Speaker 1: I don't even know what the question was. I just
Speaker 1: watched him. It didn't make me feel uncomfortable at all.
Speaker 1: Maybe Crissa, I am so hardened to all of this ship,
Speaker 1: but I feel like, sorry, this is the job we
Speaker 1: decided to do. It's not going to be all happy,
Speaker 1: go lucky, peaches and cream on the sideline. It's just
Speaker 1: not song. By the way, we great song. We are
Speaker 1: in their world, right We are asking them. Yes, I
Speaker 1: know it's part of the business, but we're asking them
Speaker 1: to take a minute to do I hate those I
Speaker 1: just could not agree more with you. It is. That
Speaker 1: is like asking a surgeon in the middle of surgery.
Speaker 1: Hey got a second, Hey got a second? So what
Speaker 1: are you doing hair as the patient's flatlining? It's like, oh,
Speaker 1: my dogs at home? That's always great. Hi, guys, Stacy's
Speaker 1: got something to say about this but no, it's just
Speaker 1: I didn't see anything wrong with it, and I to
Speaker 1: the further at this point. Doug Peterson, for example, when
Speaker 1: talking to Kaylee, Yes, you texted me this, I'm so good,
Speaker 1: he was. So. He was again, this is a guy
Speaker 1: that's the worst first half of football that his team
Speaker 1: has played. He's going into halftime. He couldn't have been
Speaker 1: more thoughtful, more patient with the questions. He was mindful
Speaker 1: about it. He even said, Hey, we need to play
Speaker 1: more up tempo when we Maybe we'll try more up
Speaker 1: tempo when we come out. Like just there's we're asking,
Speaker 1: to your point, we're asking them to take time out
Speaker 1: of their highly stressful profession to help us with ours.
Speaker 1: So and more so, you I should say, because and
Speaker 1: I want to just say this, because I did say
Speaker 1: I hate that. I'm not saying I hate the interviews
Speaker 1: that are our other networks are doing and the sideline reporters.
Speaker 1: I know, but I love the NFL. We worked for
Speaker 1: the NFL all. I don't want anyone to think of
Speaker 1: speaking poorly of the NFL. It's just it's already a
Speaker 1: hard enough job. I'm actually glad we don't do it
Speaker 1: that way. I give those sideline reporters, and I give
Speaker 1: those coaches a ton of credit. Another example of this
Speaker 1: the year that the Chiefs won the Super Bowl. UH,
Speaker 1: during the regular season, we had the Denver Kansas City game.
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes dislocates his knee on the field. It's a
Speaker 1: massive freaking thing. Going into halftime. I'm like, I feel
Speaker 1: so bad even bothering Andy Reid because I know he
Speaker 1: wants to go into the locker room and check on
Speaker 1: his star quarterback and see what the heck is going on.
Speaker 1: But I just and and I ran up to him
Speaker 1: and I said, Andy, I am so sorry. And he
Speaker 1: put his arm around me, and he was like, he's
Speaker 1: gonna be okay. It's gonna be okay. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: just so I know that we are supposed to be
Speaker 1: doing those interviews. I'm not saying I hate it towards
Speaker 1: the NFL. I don't hate it towards the other networks.
Speaker 1: It's just a hard position altogether. But also you prefer
Speaker 1: where you can decipher what he's saying. I mean, I've
Speaker 1: I've said before, like when I used to do sidelines
Speaker 1: a million years ago, like had coaches say things to
Speaker 1: me that I know they would not want me to repeat,
Speaker 1: and you're able to extrapolate that from the report and
Speaker 1: then paraphrase it. So um to each its own. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna add on this and our on our Thursday podcast,
Speaker 1: I have one more thing to say, so go listen
Speaker 1: to that if you want to hear me babble Mark. Sorry, guys,
Speaker 1: they're not babbling. Um, fellow women in sports here. This
Speaker 1: is from Grace Rigor. How do you prioritize yourself and
Speaker 1: self care in the season? Go ahead, babe, And my
Speaker 1: schedules slowed down a lot now that Thursday night football
Speaker 1: is over, So I am good about. I got a massage.
Speaker 1: I'm good about like even sleeping it. Like today, I
Speaker 1: didn't do dick until for twelve o'clock. Like when I
Speaker 1: was I was like finally, I was like texting, I
Speaker 1: was like, okay, I need to get up and go
Speaker 1: do things because I was watching football, was watching all
Speaker 1: the coverage, the recap from all shows on the weekend
Speaker 1: that was and that's not what I normally do. But
Speaker 1: then I also need to remember to give myself grace
Speaker 1: on like the days where we're going and going and going,
Speaker 1: like it's okay to like chill out. So I think
Speaker 1: just even like vegging out and not doing anything as mine,
Speaker 1: what about yours? You haven't had time to do it yet,
Speaker 1: get it? No, I haven't, but I do definitely make
Speaker 1: time and I don't feel selfish about it, for like
Speaker 1: saying I'm gonna go work out for an hour because
Speaker 1: I just need it. I need it to like get away.
Speaker 1: I need it to take care of myself. So that
Speaker 1: is definitely something I do. I'm trying to be better
Speaker 1: about scheduling, like to do treatments for my face, like
Speaker 1: get a facial because look, when you're tired, you've been traveling,
Speaker 1: you have to wear a lot of makeup, a lot.
Speaker 1: You've got to take care of that thing you put
Speaker 1: on national television. And honestly, we can talk about this
Speaker 1: on our show that will come out on Thursday. I
Speaker 1: haven't been sleeping while the last couple of days, Like
Speaker 1: I literally have supped like four hours a night the
Speaker 1: last couple of days. I know it's because I'm stressed out,
Speaker 1: but then I'm also geeking myself out when I go
Speaker 1: to sleep, I'm like, I'm anxious. I'm anxious. So I
Speaker 1: started doing the peloton meditation and the calm app again.
Speaker 1: I need to start getting back into that because it
Speaker 1: just like hills you out. You know what I did
Speaker 1: on the plane today, I put my earphones in while
Speaker 1: I was you know, if I wasn't watching Kyle and
Speaker 1: Peter on Good Morning Football. They sometimes have like the
Speaker 1: Spotify app where you can play the sleep music, and
Speaker 1: I just like try to fall asleep to that just
Speaker 1: to chill out. Yeah, I don't know. I'm not good
Speaker 1: about the meditation stuff, but I probably should because that's
Speaker 1: why I talk a hundred miles an hour and you
Speaker 1: need just let's cut down. We're not gonna calm it down.
Speaker 1: We're gonna keep this thing going. Tune in Thursday. We
Speaker 1: have a lot to say. I've got posted notes of
Speaker 1: things that are happening over here in this neck of
Speaker 1: the woods. I Calm Down with Aaron and Chrissa is
