Speaker 1: Let's, you know, pray on this, Margarita, He's not going
Speaker 1: to be born today. Calm Down with Erin and Carissa
Speaker 1: is a production of iHeartRadio. The thing is well, our producer,
Speaker 1: Ryan is so angry with us as we welcome everybody back.
Speaker 2: Brian's stay on for two seconds.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Calm Down Podcast broadcast, and welcome
Speaker 1: to the pregame show. Ryan, what did you say when
Speaker 1: we were not reporting?
Speaker 2: I said, I can't believe this could have been our
Speaker 2: best episode we've ever had.
Speaker 1: The ship we were dropping offline was insane.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm gonna make the listeners feel better because all
Speaker 3: of it is going to be talked about at some point.
Speaker 3: It just needs to be appropriate when it is. That's
Speaker 3: my because I don't want people to feel left out.
Speaker 3: They're like, why are we listening to stupid podcast? Then
Speaker 3: if you don't even talk about the good stuff, Oh
Speaker 3: don't worry.
Speaker 1: Part of this good stuff is going to be happening
Speaker 1: all year long.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and I'm all for it. Baron's drinking tea.
Speaker 3: There's the tea. Welcome everybody. Ryan is back from his
Speaker 3: vacation and thrilled to be back in the saddle with us.
Speaker 3: I'm in it looks like I'm the poor longhorn that
Speaker 3: died on the ranch. Is the horn in my head?
Speaker 3: From this little viewer whatever viewing, it looks like it's
Speaker 3: going through your head. That's what I'm saying, going through
Speaker 3: my heart right now. I have a lot of heartbreak. Okay,
Speaker 3: that's dramatic. I know my poor puppy is sick. Okay,
Speaker 3: are we ready pregame? Here we go our favorite anonymous
Speaker 3: And by the way, I want to know which one
Speaker 3: of our coworkers submitted this, because the question is co
Speaker 3: workers that never shut up about themselves and aren't that interesting?
Speaker 1: How is there any way to trace this to Richard Zion's,
Speaker 1: Rich Gross, Rich Russo, Casey, Garland Woodson, Michaelvick?
Speaker 2: Who who else submitted this question about us? Julian Edelman?
Speaker 2: Is that you? Okay?
Speaker 3: I don't know coworkers that never shut upbout themselves and
Speaker 3: aren't that interesting?
Speaker 2: How are we dealing? Is the question? Comment and concern.
Speaker 3: I have a lot of thoughts on this, and I
Speaker 3: can't say Okay, Well, then while you get your thoughts together,
Speaker 3: I will say this, Why don't we redirect the questions
Speaker 3: off of the individual and about things that you guys
Speaker 3: can both talk about.
Speaker 2: I don't know, like if.
Speaker 3: Your cubicle mate, like, why are you having to listen
Speaker 3: to this coworker all the time? Are you in close
Speaker 3: proximity in your offices or your cubicle so.
Speaker 2: You're traveling from LA I'm sorry, are you in the
Speaker 2: car with this individual? Are you a comedy from my crew?
Speaker 3: So just redirect the questions and start asking them other
Speaker 3: questions about other things, maybe what's going on in the world,
Speaker 3: maybe their favorite concert or music, something to like, well
Speaker 3: that would get back to them, but like just read,
Speaker 3: direct the questions off of them and maybe something you
Speaker 3: guys can both talk about.
Speaker 2: That's my suggestion.
Speaker 1: My coworker Kevin Burkhardt, who may or may not have
Speaker 1: submitted this about me, No, he is so good about that,
Speaker 1: and I really appreciate it will be you know, It's like,
Speaker 1: and I was actually thinking about this today. I miss
Speaker 1: these guys a lot, Like I've already started thinking about
Speaker 1: him and we're going to a dinner this week, just
Speaker 1: a couple of us.
Speaker 2: But I miss everybody. There's football news out there.
Speaker 1: Boys are talking, as Jarrett likes to say about the
Speaker 1: NHL boys are talking, boys are talking, and I was thinking,
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see them. So when I get to
Speaker 1: site again, this is probably one of my coworkers saying this.
Speaker 2: I'm like.
Speaker 1: This and I've had seventeen coffees and I'm ready for
Speaker 1: the production meeting. And Kevin is so good about asking
Speaker 1: whether it's our security or you know, someone that maybe
Speaker 1: doesn't get to talk a lot in the group because
Speaker 1: their name is an Aaron.
Speaker 2: Hey, so Elvis, what's going on with you? Clinton? How
Speaker 2: is your wife? And I'm like, so sweet?
Speaker 1: You goddamn right. Kevin Burkhart like, yeah, how is your wife?
Speaker 1: Like yeah, he's so good about it.
Speaker 2: That's such. I really like that.
Speaker 3: Well, that's that's Kevin Burkhart is single handedly the kindest
Speaker 3: person on the planet. But that is that story illustrates
Speaker 3: what you're talking about, Like he is so nice and
Speaker 3: so in this situation. Instead of being annoyed with this coworker,
Speaker 3: let's turn that frown upside down and switch it up.
Speaker 1: I like you guys, I'd like to have on before
Speaker 1: the football season. Ryan write it down. Al Michaels and
Speaker 1: Kevin Burke Yes.
Speaker 2: Yes, al Michaels get going. I have questions.
Speaker 3: I just did an interview yesterday with Pookinakua and which
Speaker 3: we can get into in the in the Big Show
Speaker 3: for NFL films.
Speaker 2: Speaking of nice people.
Speaker 3: Oh my, the vast gosh, Like I know that he
Speaker 3: always has a smile on his face, like he's always
Speaker 3: in a good mood. Anyone that doesn't know who Pookina is,
Speaker 3: the wide receiver for the Los Angeles Rams had an
Speaker 3: unbelievable rookie season single season records and catches and yards
Speaker 3: and all sorts of stuff. Comes from a big family.
Speaker 3: All of his brothers actually got D one scholarships. He
Speaker 3: lost his father at a young age and he just
Speaker 3: has this incredible outlook on life because of that. And
Speaker 3: then he also lost his grandmother who he was very
Speaker 3: close with, who I found out his real name is
Speaker 3: not Pooka. I'm gonna butcher it, so I don't want
Speaker 3: to say it. Oh yeah, it's mackay or McKay. Part
Speaker 3: of the reason why he goes by his nickname Pooka,
Speaker 3: which his grandmother gave him, which means chubby, is because
Speaker 3: people butchered his first name, his first name. But anyways,
Speaker 3: I go on this rant to just say how kind
Speaker 3: he is. And it's so refreshing and the league is
Speaker 3: in really good hands when you sit down and you
Speaker 3: have the Kevin Burkharts of the world in the booth,
Speaker 3: and also the pukaku is on the field. I speaking
Speaker 3: of not knowing how to pronounce the next one, you
Speaker 3: want to take it him?
Speaker 1: Oh fenya uh so man. I started having my seven
Speaker 1: year old dust when we clean the house. I'm getting
Speaker 1: mom judgment thought by who, I think that's amazing. That's
Speaker 1: called responsibility. I told Max Dole to make me a
Speaker 1: cup of coffee this morning.
Speaker 2: He's not even one year. It did.
Speaker 3: I don't see any problem with this. In fact, my mother,
Speaker 3: who had three jobs growing up. One of those jobs
Speaker 3: was a house cleaner. We would go and clean houses
Speaker 3: on the weekend and I would go with her and
Speaker 3: I'd carry the Electroluxe vacuum up this big hill of
Speaker 3: this fancy house, and I remember she would say, I'll
Speaker 3: give you five dollars if you dust, but if you
Speaker 3: break anything, then you're going to lose money. And so
Speaker 3: I was so meticulous about dusting and doing all these
Speaker 3: different things to help her, and it was so important.
Speaker 3: I didn't even know how important it was at the
Speaker 3: time for me to go with her to see her
Speaker 3: do again her third job, but also see that my
Speaker 3: mom was being employed by this rich, fancy family. And
Speaker 3: now if we're lucky enough in life to have people
Speaker 3: help us do things around our house, they always think
Speaker 3: about that was my mother at one point, or that
Speaker 3: was you know that I know that's had one of
Speaker 3: these jobs.
Speaker 2: And so just try to remind myself.
Speaker 3: Of that and not just look at them as employees,
Speaker 3: but look at them as like part of the family.
Speaker 3: Because my mom they were mean to her and they
Speaker 3: like dismissive of her. And I remember, even at a
Speaker 3: young age, being like, oh, we're the workers, and like
Speaker 3: they wouldn't even talk to us. That rich family in Redmond, Washington.
Speaker 3: You rude people.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I just that stuck with me.
Speaker 3: So I would say, keep having your daughter or son
Speaker 3: whoever you're having help, keep doing it, because you don't
Speaker 3: even understand like the lessons that you might be teaching them.
Speaker 2: And these people with their thoughts about that, you didn't
Speaker 2: ask why do we feel we need to give our thoughts?
Speaker 2: Knock it off?
Speaker 3: Oh this is you Katie one one eight. Should I
Speaker 3: go on my honeymoon right after my wedding or mini
Speaker 3: moon then honeymoon later.
Speaker 2: Well, I took myself on.
Speaker 3: My own honeymoon because neither of my exes we went
Speaker 3: on a honeymoon, so I ended up doing my honeymoon
Speaker 3: with Steve actually, who I'm not married to, because I
Speaker 3: always wanted to go on an Italian honeymoon vacation and
Speaker 3: no one would ever take me at it.
Speaker 2: So I finally went on one with Steve and it
Speaker 2: was wonderful. So I would say go later, go later.
Speaker 3: Because you have so much, so much is going on,
Speaker 3: so much like excitement post wedding, and you just did
Speaker 3: all this planning, depending obviously on how involved we were. Also,
Speaker 3: I mean my ones weren't expensive, but I imagine a
Speaker 3: lot of people spend a lot of money on weddings
Speaker 3: as well. And if you're lucky enough to have someone
Speaker 3: else pay for it, or your father or however that
Speaker 3: works in your family, that's great. But I would say
Speaker 3: give it a beat and then have something else to
Speaker 3: look forward to, because there's this big build up to
Speaker 3: a wedding.
Speaker 2: What do you think you've had a read album?
Speaker 1: We we took ours like a month after I think
Speaker 1: just because we only have like the three months of time,
Speaker 1: you know, with hockey and football season. So we got
Speaker 1: married right before fourth July at Yellowstone Club. Then we
Speaker 1: came back and then we were like, let's go back,
Speaker 1: Like what are we doing?
Speaker 2: Let's go back to Yellowstone. So we went back. There
Speaker 2: was no We went to Greece.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought it was yeah in Italy. Yeah, so yeah,
Speaker 3: did you we just went in August and you went
Speaker 3: on a baby moon too, right. Didn't you guys go
Speaker 3: before Mac was born?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean we went like literally for a couple of
Speaker 1: days to Mexico because we went before we our surrogate
Speaker 1: had the baby. But everybody's like, you're going, now what
Speaker 1: if she has the baby? So we were like, okay,
Speaker 1: we could get a plane if we needed to get
Speaker 1: back to California. Like, let's, you know, prey on this margarita.
Speaker 1: He's not going to be born today.
Speaker 2: He wasn't.
Speaker 3: Thankfully you, if you could do anything for your future parents,
Speaker 3: please just stay in there a little bit longer.
Speaker 2: Because the salt on this rim is fantastic. My man did.
Speaker 2: He was induced and he was well cooked. It's cutie,
Speaker 2: PI take it.
Speaker 3: Aaron sent me this picture the other day of Mac,
Speaker 3: which I ask at nauseum four pictures, and she goes
Speaker 3: play it live, so obviously, you know, like when you
Speaker 3: take a picture, you can do the live version. The
Speaker 3: picture is Mac just is cute little head, but when
Speaker 3: you play it live, it's like he's popping out around
Speaker 3: the corner. It's my Absolutely, he's so frickin cute. He's
Speaker 3: almost one years old. But you know, I can't think
Speaker 3: he's already going to be one years old. You better
Speaker 3: come to his party. I've canceled all my plans that
Speaker 3: I have with his only friend.
Speaker 2: You see clip Pete. I'm so sorry if that's wrong,
Speaker 2: clip Pete. Yeah, must have do on a beat. Hope
Speaker 2: favorite t Swift era.
Speaker 3: I think we answered that, but if we didn't, nineteen
Speaker 3: eighty nine is my favorite one.
Speaker 2: But I'm also.
Speaker 3: Really excited to see her perform her news stuff Tortured
Speaker 3: Post Department because yeah, I'm really in a moment right
Speaker 3: now where.
Speaker 1: All I'm playing obviously is her. But I feel like
Speaker 1: that's how I've been for like the last whatever how long. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I'm really into but Daddy. I love him.
Speaker 2: I mean any emotional Okay, screaming out the top of
Speaker 2: my butt. Okay, does she have a set? Like? We
Speaker 2: need to make sure we know I got it? Oh?
Speaker 2: My sent it.
Speaker 1: But there's always the surprise songs, which I'm nervous about because,
Speaker 1: as you know, traveling with me, I don't like surprises.
Speaker 1: So I don't like that there's two surprise songs because
Speaker 1: I'm really nervous.
Speaker 2: Ciscal does not.
Speaker 3: If I ever are at a surprise party, we would
Speaker 3: not be friends.
Speaker 2: They would never Actually I don't like surprise parties either.
Speaker 1: But what do we got here? Brandy eight eight seven
Speaker 1: seven seven? How soon after divorce would you recommend dating?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just go and turn up my air to
Speaker 1: answer this one.
Speaker 2: She's such a fastifle convenience. I'm heaving his baby, but
Speaker 2: I'm not. Oh you should see. Oh pass I hate her.
Speaker 2: Oh I hate this girl. Okay.
Speaker 3: The answer to how soon after dating after a divorce
Speaker 3: would you start dating, I'd say, do not put a
Speaker 3: time on any of it, because you never know a
Speaker 3: big fear of mine and getting divorced.
Speaker 2: And probably why I honestly didn't do it sooner.
Speaker 3: Is because I was like, oh my god, I've got
Speaker 3: to go out there and do it again, and I
Speaker 3: have to date again, kidding me, And I was so
Speaker 3: nervous about. Yes, there was a shame in getting divorced again,
Speaker 3: but it was compounded with this idea of this is
Speaker 3: the I'm not I've never been on a dating app.
Speaker 3: I don't know this world. I don't want to do this.
Speaker 3: And then I got lucky enough, obviously to meet Steve
Speaker 3: in a very organic way through you know, not even
Speaker 3: they didn't even set us up. It was just more
Speaker 3: of like, this is our friend and he's great, and
Speaker 3: hang out with him and you'll love him.
Speaker 2: But like, I.
Speaker 3: Am very fearful of putting time lines on anything in life,
Speaker 3: because you've got to go with your instinct. If it
Speaker 3: feels right, you should do it, and don't be afraid.
Speaker 3: Like there's a great song. Carly Pierce wrote this album
Speaker 3: that like got me through my divorce and it was
Speaker 3: called thirty I'm gonna mess it up, but it got
Speaker 3: me through. Hold On and talk amongst Yourself. There was
Speaker 3: this song and it was like, after date one, it
Speaker 3: gets easier, and after date two it gets even easier,
Speaker 3: and on and on and on, hold on, hold on.
Speaker 3: Those of you cut called twenty nine and the song
Speaker 3: was day One. Anyone that's going through a divorce, listen
Speaker 3: to this song called day one by Carly Pearce, and
Speaker 3: it's like, it is so hard on day one, but
Speaker 3: then it gets easier and easier and easier, and it
Speaker 3: will get you through and get back out there girl
Speaker 3: or guy.
Speaker 1: So basically, to summarize what you just said, I it
Speaker 1: sounds like what you're saying is you have to go
Speaker 1: by each scenario, right. You can't just go into it
Speaker 1: saying I'm never going to date again, I'm never going
Speaker 1: to get married again.
Speaker 2: I should just see where I am and go for that,
Speaker 2: all right, follow your instincts.
Speaker 3: Don't put any kind of time limits on anything because
Speaker 3: you don't know. And by the way, what works for
Speaker 3: someone doesn't work for someone else. But I would say,
Speaker 3: get back out there if the individual feels right.
Speaker 2: Bluss you.
Speaker 1: What I would say is you've handled it great. But
Speaker 1: I don't think that past things should shape future.
Speaker 2: Okay, this is Aaron.
Speaker 3: This is Aaron trying to like not just like she's
Speaker 3: trying to think she's discreet in this. She's being very
Speaker 3: like overt about her messaging to me right now because
Speaker 3: I'm going through something, so fine, let's just talk about
Speaker 3: it on the podcast, shall.
Speaker 2: We on the Big Show? Right the show.
Speaker 3: I'd love everyone's opinion and that can help me through
Speaker 3: the situation I'm in in my life.
