Speaker 1: Go for the twenties, have a little fun. Good for you.
Speaker 1: I don't see any issue with any of this. Calm
Speaker 1: Down with Erin and Carissa is a production of iHeartRadio
Speaker 1: touching her eyebrows. By the way, there's just so thick whispits. Okay,
Speaker 1: but you got to answer. Hi, everybody, Welcome to the
Speaker 1: Calm Down podcast free game. I had asked Aaron before
Speaker 1: I accidentally muted my mic if she did her hair
Speaker 1: this morning, because it looks real, but this is left
Speaker 1: over from yesterday. Well it looks great, Kyleie. You have
Speaker 1: to answer the question on Kylie. We love Kylie. People
Speaker 1: want to know what, don't I didn't even know there's
Speaker 1: a term gatekeeping. What the serum is that you bogie
Speaker 1: boi be a oh boi ay i and a fall
Speaker 1: up to all that is. I went to my facialist
Speaker 1: girl who recommended it to me and said, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I've heard this stuff can make them grow in thicker,
Speaker 1: which they did. They did. They're very much sticker and darker.
Speaker 1: And then again, not to reiterate, I know Ryan Fitzpatrick
Speaker 1: left the thing. We know you died your eyebrows. I
Speaker 1: wish I had died that because then I'd be scraping
Speaker 1: the die off. This is how dark they came in.
Speaker 1: That's kind of by the way I'm I'm I might
Speaker 1: get in on this Obaji situation. Not a mad wish
Speaker 1: it was because I have to go dark in mine.
Speaker 1: Lynn puts the like die on it every week and
Speaker 1: it goes away in two seconds. I want mine thicker acre,
Speaker 1: So maybe we get on the Obagi train. Why not?
Speaker 1: So I'm going to get back on it once they
Speaker 1: die down and fall out a little bit, and not
Speaker 1: be so religious like I'm doing it every day. You're
Speaker 1: very disciplined. I'm not just going about anything. So it's
Speaker 1: gonna be fine for me every like two months. I
Speaker 1: wish I was like that, but I'm not. Let's just
Speaker 1: be honest. Welcome to the pregame, everyone. First question for
Speaker 1: our gal from camber Schlag is Aaron, do you ice skate?
Speaker 1: I can stand up on skates, I can push off
Speaker 1: a little bit. I have a I have trouble stopping.
Speaker 1: I guess this is coming from the pictures that I
Speaker 1: posted from the Los Angeles King's family skate, which was
Speaker 1: very sweet and a very fun thing that they do
Speaker 1: every year. I was so stupid. I wasn't thinking I
Speaker 1: hadn't been to one of those in a while because
Speaker 1: I'm usually never home for them. And luckily they worked
Speaker 1: it worked out that it was on a Thursday and
Speaker 1: I was home. I was so stupid. I wore boots
Speaker 1: and everybody's yeah, we were your skates did get so anyways,
Speaker 1: I can kind of ice skate, but nothing to write
Speaker 1: home about. We were walking Steve and I were walking
Speaker 1: by somewhere and they were doing some a bunch of
Speaker 1: guys like roller like playing what is it called street
Speaker 1: hockey rollerblades and Steve's like, oh, I'm an excellent skater,
Speaker 1: and I was like, excuse me what, I go, what
Speaker 1: from all your days growing up in Wisconsin? What do
Speaker 1: you mean you're an excellent skater? And he goes, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: he goes, Jared'd be very impressed. You should see, he goes.
Speaker 1: I got to get out on the ice with him
Speaker 1: and go, Okay, you're gonna stand next to the two
Speaker 1: times Stanley Cup champion and your days in New Jersey.
Speaker 1: You're really gonna can't wait to see that. So we
Speaker 1: did to get that going. That would be amazing. Well,
Speaker 1: I'll be in the boots in the stands. There's no
Speaker 1: way my ass is out on that, I state. I
Speaker 1: remember my neighbor growing up. Her name was Nikki DeLong.
Speaker 1: I don't know where she is these days, but her
Speaker 1: family was rich and we were not. And her mom
Speaker 1: always put her in ice skating and she had on
Speaker 1: the like to to the whole outfit and these beautiful
Speaker 1: white skates. And they took me ice skating one time
Speaker 1: with her, and I looked like Tanya Harding from the
Speaker 1: trailer park next to Nancy Kerrigan. I was like, I
Speaker 1: could not ice skate. I couldn't anything. I had like
Speaker 1: little rags on. It was so humiliating. That was the
Speaker 1: last time I ever went ice skating. Well, we will
Speaker 1: take you blue mind living. How do you handle judgy,
Speaker 1: noisy neighbors? I don't know. We don't really talk to
Speaker 1: many people. I'm gonna be honest. It's not because we
Speaker 1: don't want to, but we barely talk to each other
Speaker 1: because I'm never home, so judging. I'm sure our neighbors
Speaker 1: are judging us. Yes, our whatever. People seem to know
Speaker 1: our business around here. Our problem is where we live.
Speaker 1: All the houses are so close, so even if you're
Speaker 1: kind of looking at you're mister and missus, like on
Speaker 1: a walk with your dog. Jared's always like sh like
Speaker 1: people can hear us in the street, Like okay, oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I am. My neighbors are right on top of us.
Speaker 1: And I told you the couple weeks ago and my
Speaker 1: car got hit out in front of my house. First
Speaker 1: time I met the neighbors to the right of me
Speaker 1: right here was because they came running out and didn't
Speaker 1: know what happened, and she was like, oh, your car
Speaker 1: is totaled, and I was like, look, lady, I don't
Speaker 1: need that right now. That was the introduction to my neighbors.
Speaker 1: After living here for seven years, I am very close
Speaker 1: with the one on the backside because like when I leave,
Speaker 1: especially after the break and I'm like, hey, Jerry, keep
Speaker 1: some eyes out, eyes and ears Jerry on the old
Speaker 1: neighborhood patrol. But yeah, no, I don't have nosy neighbors.
Speaker 1: I definitely have that thing where it's like if the
Speaker 1: door's open or sometimes like my bedroom window faces out
Speaker 1: to the neighbors too, and I'm like, can we close
Speaker 1: the car. They don't need to see everything that's going on.
Speaker 1: Not like that, but just like in life, like close
Speaker 1: the curtains, lock it up a bit. So yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know what to tell you, Blue Mind Living. How
Speaker 1: do we deal with nosy judging neighbors? Oh my god, actually, wait,
Speaker 1: hold on, I totally forgot. I was the neighborhood patrolled
Speaker 1: the other day. I heard my again, I have four
Speaker 1: neighbors that I can see from right here. I heard
Speaker 1: a dog. The dog in the neighbor was barking and
Speaker 1: barking and it has and kind of has like a
Speaker 1: whiny bark of like, oh yeah, is it hurt? So
Speaker 1: I said to Steve, I go throw a treat over
Speaker 1: the fence, and he goes, well, wonder if they're allergic?
Speaker 1: I go, oh God, then the dog's gonna die and
Speaker 1: we're gonna be responsible. And then we're getting cameras out.
Speaker 1: Who threw the treat back? Share the dog die? So,
Speaker 1: I said, you wrote, I said, I'm just going to
Speaker 1: go over there and knock on that door and see
Speaker 1: what's going on, because anything that has to do with
Speaker 1: an animal like I can't handle. If this animal is
Speaker 1: being harmed. And I've been like privy to this for
Speaker 1: weeks and not done anything about it. So I marched
Speaker 1: my ass right over there, and I'm the nosy neighbor
Speaker 1: and I knock on that door. I heard talking in there.
Speaker 1: They didn't answer the door, and I was like, I'll
Speaker 1: come back next time. So, like a couple days later,
Speaker 1: I went back over. Knock, knock, knock. She answers the
Speaker 1: door couldn't have been nicer. I said, look, I'm your
Speaker 1: neighbor over here, and I hear your dog crying. Is
Speaker 1: everything okay? She was like, oh, yeah, he plays with
Speaker 1: this ball and he likes this ball, and so then
Speaker 1: he gets so excited. And I was like, okay. Turns
Speaker 1: out she works at the animal shelter. So I'm the
Speaker 1: nosy neighbor that's making sure the dog's like not her
Speaker 1: and she's saving dogs. So all is right in the neighborhood.
Speaker 1: But look, you gotta do your job. Are you writing
Speaker 1: about me? You gotta get out on the streets. Anonymous, yep, No.
Speaker 1: Divorced forty three. What do I do when men in
Speaker 1: their sixties and twenties are wanting to date? What's my issue?
Speaker 1: Go for the twenties, have a little fun. Good for you.
Speaker 1: I don't see any issue with any of this. Actually,
Speaker 1: at least somebody wants to hang out. You know. That's great.
Speaker 1: By the way, you have cast that net girl, and
Speaker 1: you are just taking in all the fish in the
Speaker 1: sea twenties to sixties. No, I think you're looking at
Speaker 1: this all wrong. I think there's real possibilities here, especially
Speaker 1: since you're newly divorced. Go out there. To Aaron's point,
Speaker 1: have some fun with the twenty year olds. I also
Speaker 1: liked the idea. I ended up dating someone younger than me,
Speaker 1: but I liked the idea of somebody older who had
Speaker 1: already dealt with their shit, had already been maybe divorced.
Speaker 1: Like when I was thinking about having to go back
Speaker 1: out there again, I didn't. I was totally open to
Speaker 1: the idea of somebody having like older kids that were
Speaker 1: out of the house. They'd already been divorced, they'd already
Speaker 1: gone through all that crap. So I don't think you know,
Speaker 1: unless you have like real non negotiables in terms of age,
Speaker 1: I don't think anything is off the table. I love
Speaker 1: that go get it girl, get it girl. And speaking
Speaker 1: of girl, Midwest gal, do you work for the networks
Speaker 1: in the off season? No, I'll do the Belmont Steaks
Speaker 1: because I love the Yes racing, I do that for Fox.
Speaker 1: I've done that the last couple of years. I really
Speaker 1: enjoyed doing that. But yeah, that's I'll do my NFL
Speaker 1: Films long form features that I do for NFL Films Presents.
Speaker 1: But no, as far as for Fox, No, we don't
Speaker 1: do any other coverage. You used to do baseball and football,
Speaker 1: but now it's all college basketball. That's right. Nope, nope, nope.
Speaker 1: And if we trying to have a life central focused
Speaker 1: on that, yup, go ahead. See Jasinski CJ. Sinski sixty five.
Speaker 1: What is the most fun time slash event you have
Speaker 1: had together? PS? Love you guys so much. Well, first
Speaker 1: of all, thank you. I'm sorry if I butchered your handle.
Speaker 1: I was just thinking about it today actually since the
Speaker 1: Eras tour culminated last night in Vancouver. Very jealous of
Speaker 1: my sister and my niece who went to it. My
Speaker 1: niece and my brother went to the one the night before,
Speaker 1: of course, being from Seattle, that was the close proximity
Speaker 1: for them. I am so glad that we pulled the
Speaker 1: trigger and we made that happen. Because you can always
Speaker 1: have a million excuses of schedule and this and that.
Speaker 1: But we made it happen in London back in June,
Speaker 1: and it was so awesome. I mean we went for
Speaker 1: forty eight hours whatever it was seventy two hours. But
Speaker 1: I think that that's up there on my list of
Speaker 1: fun adventures with you what about you? Yeah, that was
Speaker 1: a good time. We've had a good time in Montana.
Speaker 1: We've had good times in where the hell did we
Speaker 1: go with the seaweed? Oh to Loom? Went to Loom
Speaker 1: chilling Snafford for hosting all of us. No, that was
Speaker 1: really fun. We also have we're trying to get a
Speaker 1: vacation on the books for this off season, because if
Speaker 1: you don't plan it, then it doesn't happen. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I think we're doing a better job of that than
Speaker 1: we have we asked. We usually have a pretty good
Speaker 1: time everywhere we go. I mean, it could be some Shenanigans,
Speaker 1: it's fun, okay. Blake Johnson to eight nine eight favor
Speaker 1: Christmas tradition your family had when you were a kid
Speaker 1: growing up, There was a neighborhood and I guess, like whatever,
Speaker 1: families do it all the time, there was a neighborhood
Speaker 1: right where we live that was kind of like the
Speaker 1: ritzy neighborhood, and so we'd go and turn in and
Speaker 1: go around and look at the life. Wait, yeah, look
Speaker 1: at the lights. And that was always a big deal.
Speaker 1: I forgot what it was called Bearingly Oaks. Oh we
Speaker 1: had one of those two ours was English Hill and
Speaker 1: all my friends lived in English Hill but I didn't,
Speaker 1: but they always had like the cool lights. Another tradition
Speaker 1: is my dad and I always watched It's a Wonderful
Speaker 1: Life on Christmas Eve. I'd go to church with my
Speaker 1: grandma and my mom and they come home and watch
Speaker 1: that with my dad. Always made cookies, Christmas cookies with
Speaker 1: my grandma and my mom. We'd have a big Christmas
Speaker 1: bakeoff thing and then Christmas vacation. That movie was on
Speaker 1: repeat and still is. Yeah. You know what I was
Speaker 1: thinking about the other day too, is now was a mother.
Speaker 1: You're like all of these traditions and all of these
Speaker 1: things like that was all our moms and dads. Like,
Speaker 1: think about it. Traditions don't happen if they don't initiate
Speaker 1: it or start something, and so it's so fun like
Speaker 1: when you think about, like my mom still to this
Speaker 1: day does stock it. We talked about it when we
Speaker 1: were on the phone and you were going to get
Speaker 1: stocking stuff ers, like all of that stuff requires effort,
Speaker 1: as I just got back from Christmas shopping, so did you.
Speaker 1: It's exhausting. And it's like when you think about all
Speaker 1: of the things that our parents did and you don't
Speaker 1: even realize like what they're doing. You're just like, oh,
Speaker 1: this happens, like wrapping all of that crap. And it's
Speaker 1: if they don't do them, then you don't have traditions.
Speaker 1: It's very sweet, it is. And I my mom had
Speaker 1: a full time job, my dad at a full time job,
Speaker 1: like I have help in all areas, and I'm still
Speaker 1: my problem is right now, in the middle of the night,
Speaker 1: I am waking up laying there going shit, who did
Speaker 1: I not buy? For? Shit? When am I going to
Speaker 1: finish this? It's like I cannot shut that down right
Speaker 1: now in my brain. Crap, what are we serving for
Speaker 1: Christmas dinner? I just really another thing I have to
Speaker 1: write down the lobster guys that want to send stuff
Speaker 1: like it just rich. Yeah, no, I actually we can
Speaker 1: talk about this on the Big Show. I have a
Speaker 1: whole as the holiday season, you know, is now upon us.
Speaker 1: I thought I had, I was like, real coffee. The
Speaker 1: tree's been up since October. I thought I did all
Speaker 1: the shopping early, and now I'm doing what you're doing.
Speaker 1: I'm like, and this is always that thing again. I'll
Speaker 1: save it for the big show. But here's the tease.
Speaker 1: Wonder if someone gets you a gift and you didn't
Speaker 1: get them one those auxiliary gifts that you have to
Speaker 1: have lying around, we'll talk about it. Oh yeah, next Anonymous,
Speaker 1: how do I get over feeling guilty about an upcoming
Speaker 1: plan my husband and I have? My dear husband has
Speaker 1: been very supportive of my career once we became empty nesters.
Speaker 1: My husband and I plan to move from our current
Speaker 1: home in Alabama to Lexington, Kentucky, so I can pursue
Speaker 1: a job. He insists he's fine with it and looks
Speaker 1: forward to the eventual change. Yet I can't get past
Speaker 1: feeling like it's a lot to ask of him. What
Speaker 1: do you guys think? And can you give me some
Speaker 1: prospective perspective on this conundrum? What a fantastic question. Okay,
Speaker 1: So she's feeling guilty about moving for her job and
Speaker 1: because she doesn't want her husband to have to move,
Speaker 1: even though he says she's okay with it, you have
Speaker 1: any thoughts, go ahead. I would say that if he
Speaker 1: says he's okay with it, then you have to trust
Speaker 1: that he's okay with him. And if he comes back
Speaker 1: around after you guys have moved and he gets resentful,
Speaker 1: you have to say, then you should have been honest
Speaker 1: about this from the beginning. But don't you know, It's
Speaker 1: like if, like anything in life, if the guy's like, oh, no,
Speaker 1: I'm fine, you picked the movie, and then the whole
Speaker 1: time you're on the way to the movie, you're like, well,
Speaker 1: you did you really want to pick the movie? You
Speaker 1: should have picked the movie. Then he's like, I said
Speaker 1: I was fine. Men are so much more direct than
Speaker 1: the women are that if he says he's okay with it,
Speaker 1: I would say that you have to trust that and
Speaker 1: don't overanalyze it and go in with a great attitude,
Speaker 1: because then if you're like constantly questioning him, he's like Jesus,
Speaker 1: I can't win. I said I was fine with it,
Speaker 1: and now you're still questioning it. So lean into the
Speaker 1: fact that he was all on board, and good luck
Speaker 1: with your new job. I think you thank you, embrace it.
Speaker 1: I think it's cool too, that you guys are empty nesters.
Speaker 1: This is kind of a new chapter in your lives,
Speaker 1: and I think it sounds like a great time to
Speaker 1: do it. It's not like you have kids and you're
Speaker 1: pulling them out of their school and putting them in
Speaker 1: a new one and you have to deal with letting
Speaker 1: all of them down. Like it's your husband and it's
Speaker 1: you and it's a new start. And Alabama Kentucky not
Speaker 1: that far from each other. If it doesn't work out,
Speaker 1: or if he wants to go back and visit some people.
Speaker 1: So I believe in what Churis says. I think men
Speaker 1: are very direct. I don't think that they are wishy
Speaker 1: washy or worry about Oh I shouldn't have said that.
Speaker 1: Did I make the right decision? That's very much a
Speaker 1: female thing. Own it, Go for it, it's a new chapter.
Speaker 1: Enjoy it all and congrat And I would also say
Speaker 1: to you just say to your husband, thank you, like
Speaker 1: that's awesome that he's like so willing to support you
Speaker 1: and something that you want to do. I think you
Speaker 1: have a good one, and good luck with the new job.
Speaker 1: I love that. Also, using the word conundrum is very lumage.
Speaker 1: That's like a Taylor Swift song. She always uses all
Speaker 1: these words, and I'm like, I know. We had to
Speaker 1: look at you on the new album when it came out,
Speaker 1: because you and I were looking upwards when it came out.
Speaker 1: We were like, I don't know that one. All right,
Speaker 1: you guys, We have a lot to discuss. Week fourteen
Speaker 1: was great for both of us. Our games were incredible.
Speaker 1: We both have a lot of exciting things happening. Week fifteen.
