Speaker 1: Then ship starts getting to Harry. Travis looks over Partia
Speaker 1: and goes, who the fuck are you, and Bartia goes,
Speaker 1: I'm with you, and he goes, okay, he comes over.
Speaker 1: Calm Down with Aaron and Crissa is a production of
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio and Action. This is real life, people,
Speaker 1: This is real life. I am still in my jewels.
Speaker 1: This is not the heart of the Ocean. This is
Speaker 1: my fake jewelry from the super Bowl. I'm straight off
Speaker 1: the airplane. Aaron still in Arizona eating her croissant. We
Speaker 1: have gotten a few hours of sleep. I'm the gal
Speaker 1: that needs to jump on that flight and get out
Speaker 1: of there. Aaron is leaving in a few more hours. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because you're fancy and leaving with a better group. So
Speaker 1: I'm the Southwest Boarding Zone Club. Anyhow, it is a
Speaker 1: Monday after super Bowl. This is the Calm Down Podcast.
Speaker 1: And for you guys that were so sweet and even
Speaker 1: sent us d ms of when you were watching. Whether
Speaker 1: it's our fun little segment we got to do together
Speaker 1: or just any part of yesterday's coverage on Fox. You
Speaker 1: guys were very sweet and it was fun to see um.
Speaker 1: First of all, I need to relax, it was fun
Speaker 1: to see everyone's reaction to us. I mean, first of all,
Speaker 1: it was two minutes, so let's not pretend that we
Speaker 1: were five hours of the free game. But three four minutes,
Speaker 1: I go, relax, we got maybe a minute and a half.
Speaker 1: I know that we really had to. Ain't too proud
Speaker 1: to beg for more minutes together. But it is Monday,
Speaker 1: after the Super Bowl. Aaron every three years gets to
Speaker 1: have this incredible honor of working the game. She does
Speaker 1: her hits, she does all of her halftime stuff, which
Speaker 1: I need to get into you all of that. So um,
Speaker 1: not rambling on because I have a lot of questions
Speaker 1: for you because we haven't even had a chance to
Speaker 1: talk about this, because we went straight into some cocktails
Speaker 1: and post super Bowl celebrations, which we will also expand upon.
Speaker 1: I see we recap the week. Okay, it's a long
Speaker 1: week for both of us. I love both got here
Speaker 1: on Monday. It start with press on Tuesday, and you think,
Speaker 1: oh my god, this week is going to take so long.
Speaker 1: It flies, and we have numerous engagements to do. You
Speaker 1: and I and our guys finally got a dinner together
Speaker 1: what on Friday, which was so nice and really really
Speaker 1: sweet boys got to hang out. But um, it's the
Speaker 1: week is long. The build up to Super Bowl is
Speaker 1: a lot. How would you describe it? Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: I think that it's always different when it's our game
Speaker 1: right where, because every three years in this particular time,
Speaker 1: it'll be two in three years. But yeah, it feels
Speaker 1: like a lot more added responsibility because you're actually working
Speaker 1: against some different obligations for that. But also I'm just
Speaker 1: someone who has bills to pay and there's opportunities at
Speaker 1: the super Bowl, so I try to like bounce around
Speaker 1: and swipe up, swipe left and do a little fun
Speaker 1: and engagements. But it was good. I think we've talked
Speaker 1: about it before too. As I get older, I'm not
Speaker 1: interested in going to the parties like there used to be,
Speaker 1: like the justin Timber, like the jay Z like I
Speaker 1: wanted into that would have gotten that part so bad?
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Oh yeah, I'd go back to that
Speaker 1: in a heartbeat. Please when is that happening? When's that reunion?
Speaker 1: But I just I'm not interested in standing in line
Speaker 1: and doing all of that anymore. So it does feel
Speaker 1: like a two of the nights I was in bed
Speaker 1: at like eight thirty, which I felt I was refreshed,
Speaker 1: got it, you know, workout in, got a couple of
Speaker 1: days where I went running and like played basketball. But
Speaker 1: it was good. I think overall, it's just this was
Speaker 1: a long season, and I'm not complaining, but the additional
Speaker 1: Amazon travel that I had every week, it just it
Speaker 1: ends up being you know, we started in August, and
Speaker 1: I also have NFL films, so I feel like I've
Speaker 1: just done more traveling now than I ever have done.
Speaker 1: And Steve and I having now been together for you know,
Speaker 1: the last whatever it is, eight nine months, He's like,
Speaker 1: the football season was a lot more than I expected.
Speaker 1: I go, oh, was it, Steve? Was it a lot
Speaker 1: more when you're cheering on your best friend and place
Speaker 1: for the Rams versus having your girlfriend work this season? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it ain't all. It's in giggles over here. So he
Speaker 1: was so sweet. I got home today, he's not here.
Speaker 1: He had took a flight to Dallas for work stuff,
Speaker 1: and I came home and he had already pre written
Speaker 1: this like really sweet long note about how proud of
Speaker 1: me he was for the season. But in summary, it
Speaker 1: was a long week, but bitter sweet too, because that
Speaker 1: means that it's over. And it comes now really fast.
Speaker 1: It's like that anticipation of Christmas, and we opened up
Speaker 1: all the presents last night, and now we're sitting here
Speaker 1: the day after Christmas, surrounded by wrapping paper and wondering, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, that's such a good point. I was kind
Speaker 1: of thinking. I mean, and another hard part about it
Speaker 1: all being over is, you know, I'm gonna miss the
Speaker 1: guys like Kevin and Greig. You're gonna miss Seawan and
Speaker 1: Shreeger and your whole group, And you know, I feel
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna text them later in the week and
Speaker 1: just be like, hey, guys, like, what are we doing. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So the build ups a lot, and then we finally
Speaker 1: get to the day. So I didn't even ask you this,
Speaker 1: how did you sleep the night before? Oh? Good? Like
Speaker 1: I'm did you crush? I never get nervous, you like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't get nervous. I just get anxiety. Like, am
Speaker 1: I ready? I went to bed at a decent hour,
Speaker 1: but I woke up at six, where I could have probably,
Speaker 1: you know, slept in a little an extra hour. But
Speaker 1: it was fine. And then our day is a really
Speaker 1: really long one. On Sunday, you had to be up
Speaker 1: and out the door. At what time I saw your videos? Yeah,
Speaker 1: so seven thirty, So, I mean we were on at eleven.
Speaker 1: It was our pretty good which is crazy you think
Speaker 1: about like how much cover the game doesn't start? Told
Speaker 1: what four thirty kickoff? You were in high heels the
Speaker 1: whole time. I had no freaking clue how you did
Speaker 1: that moving groove and catching football, staying on the high hill. Go.
Speaker 1: I know, but that's insane. I mean, and then you
Speaker 1: were in high heels in our post party. Well, I
Speaker 1: really felt like I want to complete the night, you know,
Speaker 1: I just did really want you to stay in those
Speaker 1: bad boys, But no, I just don't. Heels don't bother me.
Speaker 1: And you have to admit I've been pretty good, like
Speaker 1: I've been wearing heels as much as I normally do.
Speaker 1: Because there's also I look at some of the heels
Speaker 1: that I have in my closet, which I need to
Speaker 1: throw out. I need to do an Aaron Andrew's claws.
Speaker 1: Is it clean? Because you're very good about this, I'll
Speaker 1: call you now. I'm like, what are you doing? You're
Speaker 1: like cleaning my closet out, and like just randomly like
Speaker 1: who you are that closet is also of drink so Jar.
Speaker 1: Chris has said, I'm good at cleaning my closet out.
Speaker 1: She is Jared. He just said what I'm not, Yeah, Jared,
Speaker 1: I need to get on. I feel like Jared would
Speaker 1: be would whip me into shape real quick as far
Speaker 1: as like, Okay, we'll do this, we do this, we
Speaker 1: have this organized like he's very organized. This guy that's
Speaker 1: my re entry that's about to happen. We're going to
Speaker 1: go on away on vacation. My re entry is I'm
Speaker 1: gonna come back and I'm He's not gonna say anything,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna get a week to get my ship
Speaker 1: in order. Like the Christmas talking like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I have five days. He just said, I have five days.
Speaker 1: I'm on the clock. You're drafting three I's gonna say
Speaker 1: I need a Roger Goodell approach to the podium immediately.
Speaker 1: Um yeah, I really I need to purge a bunch
Speaker 1: of stuff. And I'm good. We talked about a little bit.
Speaker 1: Was one of the questions from the pregame about throwing
Speaker 1: stuff away. I got to do that, but I'm just
Speaker 1: not in the mood. I'm gonna give myself. What's today
Speaker 1: Monday I'm leaving for Cabbo on Friday, which I couldn't
Speaker 1: be more excited about because I just want to know
Speaker 1: about this by the word Jay's because Steve and I
Speaker 1: just decided to do it. Well, I mean, we were
Speaker 1: always planning on like doing something, but I was like,
Speaker 1: let's not wait for some like planned things like you
Speaker 1: and I are going to go do our deal whatever
Speaker 1: and then I will do something else. But I'm like,
Speaker 1: let's just get our ass on a lawn chair and
Speaker 1: have a couple of cocktails and enjoy one another. But
Speaker 1: the what was, Oh, I just have to before I
Speaker 1: leave for that. I want to just get some stuff,
Speaker 1: Like things are piling up everywhere, and I feel when
Speaker 1: things start to get overwhelming like that, then I feel
Speaker 1: like I'm unorganized and similar to the way I'm rambling,
Speaker 1: my thoughts are all over the place too. So super
Speaker 1: Bowl Day, super Bowl Day seven thirty, get their pregame.
Speaker 1: It's fun, it's exciting, I mean, And then there was
Speaker 1: a big announcement. I know, we're excited about it. Derek
Speaker 1: Jeter is the captain, and I wait, I we don't
Speaker 1: have to like go sequentially here because this is our podcast.
Speaker 1: We can do whatever we want, but you I don't
Speaker 1: have a relationship with him. I never covered baseball the
Speaker 1: way that you did. And I know that he was
Speaker 1: always so wonderful to you, And when his documentary had
Speaker 1: come out, you were saying how special it was to
Speaker 1: watch that because how good he was to you. Would
Speaker 1: you mind Aaron sharing um a few of the reasons
Speaker 1: why you have an affinity for Derek Jeter and why
Speaker 1: you'd be even more excited he's at Fox. Oh, I
Speaker 1: would love to. Well, first of all, congratulations to us
Speaker 1: for having Derek Jeter would be part of our family.
Speaker 1: There's just certain people when they are part of the
Speaker 1: Fox family, you're just so proud of and you're proud
Speaker 1: of the network, and he's definitely one of them. I'm
Speaker 1: so glad he's coming with us. I think that's gonna
Speaker 1: be a fire desk with Kevin and Poppy. So he
Speaker 1: was just always even though he was Derek Jeter, and
Speaker 1: I know you think to yourself, athletes should be this way.
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is very much this way. He's just great,
Speaker 1: super nice, very intimidating because it's the captain and it's
Speaker 1: Derek Jeter. And I was young and in baseball, and
Speaker 1: I was like, ship, like, he's gonna think I'm so stupid,
Speaker 1: and he probably did. But he was just always so accommodating.
Speaker 1: And that's what I think is so ironic and cool
Speaker 1: about him joining Foxes. I think it said in his
Speaker 1: Jeter Dock like he did. He was the best at
Speaker 1: not saying a thing to the media, but he had
Speaker 1: to handle it obviously playing in New York City and
Speaker 1: playing for the Yankees and being the captain. So I
Speaker 1: just find it so funny he's now on our side.
Speaker 1: But even though he didn't say much, he was always,
Speaker 1: you know, fantastic. If I was like, hey, I need
Speaker 1: something for Sports Center or baseball tonight or anything like that,
Speaker 1: he was great. And I remember when we watched the
Speaker 1: Dock and I talked about it here on the podcast.
Speaker 1: They said to Jared, I just hope to have a
Speaker 1: chance to say to him, thank you so much for
Speaker 1: being so nice to be to be younger, non wrinkled
Speaker 1: and jaded per and I used to be um. So
Speaker 1: we didn't get to see him yesterday. I was really
Speaker 1: hoping he'd be on the field because a he's the captain.
Speaker 1: I wanted to say hi and be like, I'm just
Speaker 1: so excited he's gonna be with us, so huge higher
Speaker 1: by Fox and for us that was awesome. So yes,
Speaker 1: it was all about football yesterday, but the slight deviation
Speaker 1: and rundown surprise was was a good one. So that
Speaker 1: was fun. And just you know, it's the Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: and I can't overstate this, and I think a lot
Speaker 1: of the emphasis for me is because they have worked
Speaker 1: as a production assistant behind the scenes. There's so much
Speaker 1: that goes into putting on a Super Bowl. Something as
Speaker 1: simple as like the Fox decal on the back of
Speaker 1: the golf cart where they transport us back and forth,
Speaker 1: and security stuff and having pens or tissues or mits
Speaker 1: even on the set. Someone had to pack those, someone
Speaker 1: had to make sure they were there. So I just
Speaker 1: I really truly appreciate how much effort and time and
Speaker 1: thoughtfulness goes into everyone behind the scenes and making sure
Speaker 1: that it's they make us like have the best day.
Speaker 1: So um, I don't know, and I don't know people
Speaker 1: have Fox are probably over us, but if anyone's listening
Speaker 1: to it and you're a part of that, I just
Speaker 1: really and I didn't get a chance to thank you personally.
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, thank you, because it's awesome and
Speaker 1: Fox the product like just on air, Like if I wasn't,
Speaker 1: i'd be like the colors and just everything is. That
Speaker 1: might sound silly, but I remember David Hill, who used
Speaker 1: to be the president of Fox Sports back in the day,
Speaker 1: was like, so much of sports television is consumed in
Speaker 1: a bar or a restaurant and the volume is not
Speaker 1: always on. So if the colors are bright and people
Speaker 1: are laughing and people are smiling, it catches your attention
Speaker 1: and you're like, wow, look I want to watch that.
Speaker 1: And so I'm proud to be a part of the
Speaker 1: production because it's um we have an awesome crew from
Speaker 1: freaking like the Nonsense of Gronk or Coach Peyton or
Speaker 1: you know, Charles Woodson, like we have that great Terry Michael,
Speaker 1: the whole thing, Like we we have really great guys
Speaker 1: and so yeah, so I had a lot of fun
Speaker 1: doing that. And then my my highlight is just that
Speaker 1: first like seeing you and knowing that like you're going
Speaker 1: to have an awesome game, and yeah, just the girl
Speaker 1: the girl friendship moment is big for me amidst the
Speaker 1: work element of it, and I was stoked because that
Speaker 1: was a great fucking game and lived up to the hype.
Speaker 1: So I want to know because you were on the
Speaker 1: chief sideline so before so you do your hit, pregame
Speaker 1: all that stuff, and then I didn't talk to you again,
Speaker 1: I haven't talked to you after about the actual game stuff.
Speaker 1: That's right, what happened. So the actual game, I mean
Speaker 1: the first half, like obviously did Philly score? Yeah, when
Speaker 1: they got the ball, he was talking about why did
Speaker 1: the Chiefs differ? And then Casey came out and then
Speaker 1: they scored. Travis had that touchdown and that it was like, okay,
Speaker 1: here we go. We kind of thought it was gonna,
Speaker 1: you know, be these two. I'll take the over and
Speaker 1: a lot and Greg kept saying, I don't know what
Speaker 1: that means. Greg kept saying, um, it's a race to thirty.
Speaker 1: It's a race to thirty. It's a race to thirty.
Speaker 1: So but then get hurt, right, race a thirty four points?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'll call him Greg, where are you?
Speaker 1: He lifted two am less. I can't believe that guy
Speaker 1: with the connection and I love it. Um So yeah,
Speaker 1: and then Patrick got hurt and that was wild and
Speaker 1: it was like, oh man, please not again, Like, let's
Speaker 1: not make this be part of our game where we
Speaker 1: have to deal with another injury. But you know, Jared
Speaker 1: said it when I saw him after the game. That
Speaker 1: guy is just a tough son of a bitch. And
Speaker 1: that's coming from a hockey player. That's one two Stanley Cups.
Speaker 1: I mean already had come in with an ankles, brain
Speaker 1: obviously tweaked it. I don't know if they shot it
Speaker 1: up at halftime, but he came out. That was such
Speaker 1: a big deal. How is he gonna look when he
Speaker 1: came out? Came out and I don't know if I
Speaker 1: said gingerly on air, those are hard things to do.
Speaker 1: The team wasn't given us anything, but what had happened.
Speaker 1: You talked to Andy Reid. I didn't hear your report. No, Um, okay, Andy,
Speaker 1: The Kansas City Chiefs do not make Andy Reid available
Speaker 1: if the team is losing. You can only speak to
Speaker 1: Andy Reid at halftime if they are winning or tie.
Speaker 1: So this was a big moment because their quarterback is
Speaker 1: hurt and they're down and they're not they just don't
Speaker 1: allow him to speak. So I had to report that
Speaker 1: because that's a big deal. You need to hear how
Speaker 1: the quarterback is, so I just said, listen, their policy
Speaker 1: is they don't make him available. We don't have an
Speaker 1: official update on the ankle, but here's what we observed.
Speaker 1: And I had to talk about him walking out him
Speaker 1: kind of smiling as he was throwing. I saw a
Speaker 1: couple of teammates coming up to him. He was shaking
Speaker 1: his head. He obviously was back on the field. I
Speaker 1: had told you that, he said coming into the game
Speaker 1: running and cutting was kind of an already big thing
Speaker 1: for him. Um, he had that big run in the
Speaker 1: second half, which was huge. He's just a fucking winner.
Speaker 1: What a guy. I'm so happy for him. I'm excited
Speaker 1: to see what he does with this whole legacy. Keep
Speaker 1: on winning. He's got two super Bowls at the age
Speaker 1: of seven. This is fucking awesome. I'm all in. And
Speaker 1: like we mentioned about Derek Jeter earlier, he and Travis
Speaker 1: are just the best. If those are the superstars we're
Speaker 1: gonna have, I'm all freaking in, Like, great story. Did
Speaker 1: you hear this story yet? Did I? Did? I tell
Speaker 1: you out? Bardia no grabbing him, So you know it's
Speaker 1: a ship show trying to grab these guys and I
Speaker 1: literally was like, okay. NFL was like, who do you want.
Speaker 1: We're like, we want Patrick, but I said, I if
Speaker 1: Travis is there, I want them together, like they they're
Speaker 1: the best, They're best friends on and off the field.
Speaker 1: Let's go this is I've worked my ass off. I
Speaker 1: want these two together. I don't give a ship. And
Speaker 1: also they're both so great to deal with that, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm freaking holding onto them both and i don't care.
Speaker 1: So NFL was like, Okay, meet us at the thirty
Speaker 1: and we'll have Patrick. No you're not, and nothing against
Speaker 1: the NFL. I've just seen how this goes. And also
Speaker 1: our show, we want to get to these guys fast
Speaker 1: so they can then get on the stand with Terry
Speaker 1: and then get over back to the desks like moving
Speaker 1: were shaking. Will be over here. Yeah, there's so kind
Speaker 1: of like what I did with Matthew the year before.
Speaker 1: I kind of just let Matthew know I was there.
Speaker 1: Patrick kept seeing me in his preferal vision, but he
Speaker 1: wanted to see like Syrianni wanted to hug certain guys
Speaker 1: on the Eagles, so I'm in his prepheral vision. Well,
Speaker 1: then ship starts getting to Harry then there's the people
Speaker 1: are in it, like bull rushing. Yeah, and like I
Speaker 1: said out loud, screamed out loud. Don't know if this
Speaker 1: made Eric. Thank god I'm not pregnant because it's a
Speaker 1: dangerous situation. But I was like, I'm in it. So
Speaker 1: I freaking hold on to Patrick's arms, like to hold him,
Speaker 1: and then I get separated. It's like we're in a
Speaker 1: storm or something. So I hold on to his security
Speaker 1: and I'm like on him. I'm on him. He grabs Kelsey.
Speaker 1: I'm like yes, yes, and they're live with Andy Reid.
Speaker 1: I'm like, see, I have him, I have him, I
Speaker 1: have him. Come to me, Okay, we're coming to you next.
Speaker 1: Then Kelsey walks over because he sees Jason, and they
Speaker 1: start hugging. I grabbed Patrick. I'm like I'm going I'm
Speaker 1: going live. And then they're like, all right, Aaron Bartia,
Speaker 1: who's my sideline producer. Thank god, I have him, I said,
Speaker 1: grab him, get him. Kelsey is a crying Travis with
Speaker 1: his brother. He grabs him. After he's done, Travis looks
Speaker 1: over a Bartia and goes, who the fuck are you?
Speaker 1: And Bartia goes, I'm with and he goes Okay, he
Speaker 1: comes over. Really but think about that, like I mean,
Speaker 1: just described it perfectly, because I haven't had that moment where,
Speaker 1: you know, and after a super Bowl like having to
Speaker 1: get those guys even just a regular season game, it's
Speaker 1: hard to make sure that these guys get to you.
Speaker 1: And to your point, whether it's they wanted to say
Speaker 1: a prayer or they wanted like there's all these other
Speaker 1: things that pull them away. I can only imagine like
Speaker 1: being in that. But that's where you being who you
Speaker 1: are in a veteran like know what to do. But
Speaker 1: it was great and so animated, and they both you know,
Speaker 1: dropped some profanity on air, but how could you not
Speaker 1: think about on this podcast we have both tried to
Speaker 1: censor ourselves, but in the moment and like being animated,
Speaker 1: it was awesome. And I to your point about like
Speaker 1: the league is in such great hands with these young superstars,
Speaker 1: and we've talked about this Josh Allen's and Joe Burrows
Speaker 1: like all these guys, but Mahomes and Kelsey, what these
Speaker 1: guys have done together in such a short amount of time,
Speaker 1: and your sit down with Patrick Mahomes like just even
Speaker 1: you know, accentuated it even more is there a more
Speaker 1: humble superstar like this guy is just like like whatever, like, oh,
Speaker 1: there's so much to like about him, and I'm so
Speaker 1: happy for him. I mean, there's only three guys in
Speaker 1: the history of the league who have ever had multiple
Speaker 1: league MVPs and multiple Super Bowls. Those guys are Tom
Speaker 1: Brady and Joe Monterrey. And he's now part of that
Speaker 1: fraternity to think about, like this dude and now not
Speaker 1: even mentioning the Super Bowl m v P part of that.
Speaker 1: So he's done an unbelievable job. He's only twenty seven
Speaker 1: and he said in your interview, you know, going for
Speaker 1: that that elusive number seven of Tom Brady, and it's
Speaker 1: very lofty, but is uh two and four is pretty
Speaker 1: good for him, So it was exciting. Meanwhile, Jalen Hurts,
Speaker 1: I know, well, future is bright for those guys too,
Speaker 1: they really are. And I'm dying to talk to you
Speaker 1: about your Sirianni interview and when you did your nugget
Speaker 1: about the anthem and him bawling. Okay, so oh you
Speaker 1: did one moment in time, but yes, but see when
Speaker 1: he he bawled, But you know what I mean, guy
Speaker 1: loves a good tune. I mean, why wouldn't he And
Speaker 1: we can appreciate this when he was it and I
Speaker 1: know that, so this we talked about it before, or
Speaker 1: maybe we talked about in the People article or whatever
Speaker 1: was that you are sitting in with these guys the
Speaker 1: team meetings, like you have access that's different than than
Speaker 1: I have, right and just reading articles or you know,
Speaker 1: different things like that. So Aaron had said, again being
Speaker 1: a great girlfriend's like, Okay, I know you had your
Speaker 1: Sirianni interviews, so tag it with something um and Kevin,
Speaker 1: You're like text Kevin for the specifics from the meeting,
Speaker 1: because she like found out that Sirianni like listened to
Speaker 1: one moment in time when he was on his way
Speaker 1: to was little league practices. Uh, and then tried to
Speaker 1: get his son to listen to him now and his
Speaker 1: son like wasn't having it. Which we need to talk
Speaker 1: to his son about that, because Whitney is everything. But
Speaker 1: just a nice little way to pay off the piece
Speaker 1: I standing on the sidelines during the national anthem with
Speaker 1: which Chris Stapleton just crushed, uh. And then the fly
Speaker 1: over and up on the JumboTron, Nick Sirianni one single
Speaker 1: tear rolls down his cheek and I'm standing next to Joel,
Speaker 1: our producer, and I was like, are you kidding me? Like,
Speaker 1: I don't know how you can't just appreciate what everything
Speaker 1: that these guys have done to get to this point.
Speaker 1: And Nick Sirianni and Jalen Hurts are young and this
Speaker 1: is just the beginning for this team. But I never
Speaker 1: want to see anyone lose. So then I was sad
Speaker 1: because I was like thinking about like him and his
Speaker 1: little kids and stuff. But you know what you could
Speaker 1: good for Jalen Hurts, you know, talking about how much
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes like shows maturity and it's like such a
Speaker 1: humble superstar. Jalen Hurts, man this guy. If you don't
Speaker 1: and Greg articulated it perfectly in the broadcast, if you
Speaker 1: have children and you don't appreciate the journey that Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts went on, you get benched in a national championship game.
Speaker 1: I mean, you and I take a lot of pride
Speaker 1: in our profession. Can you imagine if someone came up
Speaker 1: to you right before you're going to do your hit
Speaker 1: at the Super Bowl and said, you know what, We're
Speaker 1: gonna have someone else do this we'd be like, what
Speaker 1: the fuck, and then having to transfer Now we have
Speaker 1: to go to another network, and then having success there,
Speaker 1: and then two years later after being in the league,
Speaker 1: when everyone was like, yeah, I don't think that this
Speaker 1: guy is gonna be very good. I don't think this
Speaker 1: woman is gonna be very good on TV, and then
Speaker 1: you end up in the Super Bowl and for him
Speaker 1: to have the humility and the poise, I just I'm
Speaker 1: a bigger fan of his now. And he he did
Speaker 1: everything right. I mean, granted that one one little yeah
Speaker 1: defensive score from the turnover that he had, but man,
Speaker 1: he's got to hang his head high after putting up
Speaker 1: thirty five points on the Kansas City Chief. Is this
Speaker 1: podcast over? I just went on and on. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: I just had a vision of somebody who came up
Speaker 1: to you during our pregame who is not a fan
Speaker 1: of mine, because I voiced how I'm not really a
Speaker 1: fan of that person because they weren't very nice to me,
Speaker 1: and then they couldn't wait to come say how do you?
Speaker 1: And I was like, I'm out of here. You know,
Speaker 1: it's so funny about that. Then Sarah had text me
Speaker 1: after she saw that picture and she said something about
Speaker 1: my outfit, which is synonymous with them. Anyways, Uh, that's
Speaker 1: for the after Hours Calm Down podcast if you guys
Speaker 1: are interested. I did walk out onto the field my
Speaker 1: first time in this girl scream Calmed Down, and I
Speaker 1: was just like so nice. Yeah that was listen. I
Speaker 1: know you and I were like, listen, we only got
Speaker 1: like two minutes, two and a half minutes for our
Speaker 1: little segment, but thank you to Fox and Bill Richards
Speaker 1: for giving that moment in time to us. I think
Speaker 1: it's important. And you and I really stuck to our
Speaker 1: guns because you know, I'm your baby tonight and I
Speaker 1: we were just like, listen, there are so many kind
Speaker 1: of dancing with somebody. How will I know if we'll
Speaker 1: ever get this opportunity again? But you know, nothing without you. Um.
Speaker 1: I am so emotional now because no, but it was
Speaker 1: a big deal because listen, they're the split of female
Speaker 1: to male viewers with the football game is almost fifty fifty.
Speaker 1: Women are smart, they love the game. I like to
Speaker 1: think that we're kind of carrying the torch for those viewers.
Speaker 1: And you know, we had a fun segment about fashion,
Speaker 1: but I think this is the only the beginning sister.
Speaker 1: I mean we had coworkers. Howie Long walked up to me,
Speaker 1: and I know he said something to you about how
Speaker 1: much he laughed and enjoyed it. We got a lot
Speaker 1: of great feedback on social media about it, and I
Speaker 1: loved it. It meant a lot, and I want to
Speaker 1: keep pushing for it because I you know, you and
Speaker 1: I kind of say it all the time. We're not
Speaker 1: like super raw Rob, but I am about this. I am,
Speaker 1: and I think it's really really important that you and
Speaker 1: I keep doing stuff like that. You have you have
Speaker 1: taught me to speak up and like use my voice
Speaker 1: more because I don't. I'm definitely not some like wallflower
Speaker 1: that just like conforms. I mean, I use use my
Speaker 1: voice where I need to. But I also think that
Speaker 1: I probably just sort of like went with the flow
Speaker 1: a little bit more because they don't like any to
Speaker 1: like you know, what's what do they call it, like
Speaker 1: overturn the apple car whatever the expression is that I
Speaker 1: like to just keep the status quo. So in this situation,
Speaker 1: we both were like, we're such good friends, like why
Speaker 1: would we not be together in something like that? So again,
Speaker 1: thank you guys for letting us the fox Brass that
Speaker 1: is for doing it. And yeah, and then there was
Speaker 1: a part of me that's like, I don't want to
Speaker 1: be the chicks to talk about fashion. But here's the deal.
Speaker 1: We're using the other four hours to talk about the game.
Speaker 1: You want to talk about Tampa to defense, if you
Speaker 1: want to talk about you know, three, four or five,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about all the other ship. And I just
Speaker 1: think that there's also time to be light and have levity.
Speaker 1: And that was how his point. He was like, you
Speaker 1: guys were just so animated about it. Was like, hey,
Speaker 1: we're all in fashion or you know, running routes. What
Speaker 1: do you want from us? Post corner, post postal stories?
Speaker 1: Was malone post office? I gotta get to it. I
Speaker 1: have seven Box song. Wow, you weren't that into that
Speaker 1: song last night? No? I didn't like Yeah, so yeah,
Speaker 1: she wasn't into it. There's a lot of pressure on
Speaker 1: being a DJ. This take away from last night so
Speaker 1: the ox cord and what happened in Montana and Steve's
Speaker 1: a really good DJ. I love so my I know
Speaker 1: we talked about what we get it. Steves my boyfriend,
Speaker 1: but I love a guy that I can just pass
Speaker 1: that phone over to on a vacation, and it like
Speaker 1: sets the mood, because if you've got a good playlist going,
Speaker 1: there's nothing worse than all of a sudden, the song's ending,
Speaker 1: you don't have one in the queue, you don't have
Speaker 1: one ready to go, and everyone's like oh boos, like
Speaker 1: what is this? Yeah, and then another song comes on
Speaker 1: like that sucks. So yeah, there was a little bit
Speaker 1: of the the jute box happening last night of Song Choices.
Speaker 1: I felt like the volume control on that ox cord
Speaker 1: wasn't that great. I just don't know who was running
Speaker 1: this show. But what was great was Sean Payton's enthusiasm.
Speaker 1: I cannot get off this podcast and recap the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl without talking about this. I don't think I've told
Speaker 1: you this yet. So Sean Payton, it is well known
Speaker 1: how much I adore this man. I only got to
Speaker 1: work with him for one year. Aaron had done a
Speaker 1: few games of his way back when when I was
Speaker 1: a sideline reporter. But Aaron did every other game of
Speaker 1: his in his time in the NFC, and he absolutely
Speaker 1: adores you, and so she's like, you're gonna love working
Speaker 1: with Sean. Of course, Sean accepts the job as the
Speaker 1: head coach of the Denver Broncos. So now I don't
Speaker 1: get to be with him every Sunday, But what I
Speaker 1: learned from Sean Payton is being a coach is being
Speaker 1: an incredible teammate. He pays attention to every single detail
Speaker 1: he is about the team. He wants to make sure
Speaker 1: that everyone's having fun, everyone's doing their job. He came
Speaker 1: up and he's like, Okay, what block are we in?
Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, We're in the D block.
Speaker 1: He goes, So when I come back here in a
Speaker 1: few years, were next Super Bowl, we need to have
Speaker 1: like a little sign that says, okay, d bluck, we're
Speaker 1: in the D block. So we know like he just
Speaker 1: is thinking of everything he needs to be better at
Speaker 1: his job, but he's also thinking about how he can
Speaker 1: make sure that he shows his gratitude for the team.
Speaker 1: This guy as we're so, we're supposed to be on
Speaker 1: the at the cars yesterday morning at he comes walking
Speaker 1: out of the business center with this rolled up poster thing,
Speaker 1: and I go, what are we doing here? And he goes,
Speaker 1: he had printed off the schedule for the day. So
Speaker 1: it says like, you know, different times everyone had to
Speaker 1: beware or whatever, and this was just sent in an email,
Speaker 1: but he went and printed off a poster size. He
Speaker 1: had everyone sign it, and he's going to make copies
Speaker 1: and laminate them and send them to everyone so they
Speaker 1: have a memento from the super Bowl. But who does that.
Speaker 1: It's been so sweet and it reminded me how lucky
Speaker 1: we were to have that, but also how lucky those
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos guys are to have someone like that. This
Speaker 1: was a year for them that was definitely not a
Speaker 1: hallmark one. And I can't wait to see what he does.
Speaker 1: So um, yeah, I'm bummed to see him go, but
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see what he does, because nothing, not
Speaker 1: even that altitude, is going to get to that guy. Never.
Speaker 1: If you can't learn something and be a better player
Speaker 1: because of him, then we're better person. Sign those papers exactly. Um,
Speaker 1: you need to sign out of that hotel. You got
Speaker 1: to check out, sister, so as we want to wait here.
Speaker 1: On the Monday edition of our Calm Down podcast, I
Speaker 1: love you, I've said it, and you I couldn't be
Speaker 1: more proud of you. You've got another super Bowl and
Speaker 1: your belt, sister, And again for two gals that have
Speaker 1: always wanted to do this their whole life. Remember how
Speaker 1: lucky we are to have the opportunity to do it,

Speaker 1: a lot, but the Calm Down Podcast community is so
Speaker 1: sweet and it really really means a lot to me

Speaker 1: Down Podcast now goes into offseason mode and so you
Speaker 1: really never know what's going to happen with these combos
Speaker 1: and where we're gonna I'm gonna be popping up everywhere.

Speaker 1: Here's a lot to say, but he we gotta get
Speaker 1: him on. He's the best. It's so good. Oh. We
Speaker 1: also didn't talk about Rihanna. Real quick as I'm saying that,
Speaker 1: because I'm wearing this sweatshirt of hers. Um, what a
Speaker 1: badass man, that bitch. That bitch. I don't say that
Speaker 1: bitch better have my money. She pops out of baby
Speaker 1: like nine months ago, whatever it is, and then she
Speaker 1: gets up there suspended at the top of the stadium
Speaker 1: pregnant again. She announced that she's having another baby and
Speaker 1: just did her thing. So shout out to all women
Speaker 1: who can do it all. Now I gotta return my duels.
