Speaker 1: Calm Down with Aaron and Carissa is a production of
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio. This is what Week twelve looks like.
Speaker 1: One side of my eye is going. This is because
Speaker 1: of a bad filler accident probably three years ago. To
Speaker 1: calm down, poc Wait, I remember when I came over
Speaker 1: to your house and you had that, which was because
Speaker 1: I dust had gotten me done. Welcome everybody to the
Speaker 1: Calm Down Podcast. We're gonna calm down in one second,
Speaker 1: but explain you get that because the under circles, well,
Speaker 1: you know, all roads lead back to Jillian. She got
Speaker 1: it done recently and it looks phenomenal. She told me
Speaker 1: you told her that, correct, my filler um, but I
Speaker 1: tried to do it and it had worked before. My lady.
Speaker 1: She hit a nerve, and so I have. Whenever I
Speaker 1: get tired, which is every day of the week right now,
Speaker 1: and even more so Week twelve of the season, it
Speaker 1: really comes out more so you can pretty much see it.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm very afraid to get filler. But I've
Speaker 1: also developed this jowl situation. Shint down here that I
Speaker 1: saw a picture of myself, it looked like I was
Speaker 1: sucking on a lozenge. No, that's just me like gripping
Speaker 1: and like clenching my teeth, and I now have like
Speaker 1: a jowl thing. So all these things I'm really excited
Speaker 1: after this season to look into. Okay, well as somebody
Speaker 1: who's a you don't have all those things, but I
Speaker 1: can appreciate that. You look in the mirror and you
Speaker 1: see all of those things on you. I've gone the
Speaker 1: other way. I look at myself and I'm like, there's
Speaker 1: too much of the eyebrows going up to here, and
Speaker 1: I'm not even doing that anymore. There's too much talks
Speaker 1: happening here. I think it looks good. I made a
Speaker 1: real like don't like to look at myself right now.
Speaker 1: And it's how my self esteem is like low. Like
Speaker 1: I feel like I have a pretty good sense of
Speaker 1: self and like my dad always raises to have confidence
Speaker 1: no matter what. But I'm bored. I'm bored of the
Speaker 1: way I look. I'm bored of everything. That's why I
Speaker 1: changed my hair seven times a day. I mean, like
Speaker 1: we're flipping. We're not flipping. It's blonde, it's long and short.
Speaker 1: Like I'm just bored of myself. But one thing that
Speaker 1: I'm so cautious of is because when I've seen myself
Speaker 1: on TV lately. I just feel like it's like that
Speaker 1: girl that's doing too much with the face, and it
Speaker 1: could just be a bad makeup situation, or it could
Speaker 1: just be this one out eyebrow wants to raise the roof,
Speaker 1: and then I'm self conscious and I'm not into it.
Speaker 1: Lisa's going that way, not the other. I told Troy
Speaker 1: Aigman the other day as we were flying to Kansas
Speaker 1: City for that thriller, I said, uh, I don't I'm
Speaker 1: so tired. I don't even recognize my face anymore. He
Speaker 1: started laughing so hard. But it was like I just
Speaker 1: looked in the mirror and I was like, whoof golly.
Speaker 1: I mean, I need sleep. That's just it. But some
Speaker 1: of it is self inflicted. Well. I remember Kathy Thompson.
Speaker 1: My mother had a great line and she said one time,
Speaker 1: my dad took a picture of us and she looked
Speaker 1: at it and she goes, huh, I thought it was
Speaker 1: much cuter than that. He goes, Nope, that's exactly what
Speaker 1: you look like. And I was like, and I started
Speaker 1: laughing because I was like, sometimes I'm like, shit, maybe
Speaker 1: I have a really like warped sense of self like
Speaker 1: maybe I just think I'm cuter than I am, but
Speaker 1: fuck it. Whatever. Anyways, um hip cyre just talking about that.
Speaker 1: I was so as I know, you were jacked up
Speaker 1: for this game, so like doing like like burpees in
Speaker 1: the morning. I was so excited for I was so
Speaker 1: excited for this game. It was your guys, biggest up
Speaker 1: to date, like regular season game could be. You know, well,
Speaker 1: I mean if they don't get this ship together a
Speaker 1: preview of the Super Bowl. I mean, you had up
Speaker 1: unto that point the best team in the NFC, team
Speaker 1: that obviously has been perennial in the a f C,
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs. But like what happened, walk me through it.
Speaker 1: You were front and center. I don't know, I mean,
Speaker 1: I haven't seen the Chiefs defense play like that in
Speaker 1: a hot minute and they completely shut down the run.
Speaker 1: I know, you know, Trey Aikman was sitting there drinking
Speaker 1: our game, just saying, I'd run the ball, I'd run
Speaker 1: the ball. The pressure on DAC was unbelievable. Yeah, big bummer.
Speaker 1: I mean it was funny. We were talking to a
Speaker 1: coach during pregame and we were like, Wow, let's let's
Speaker 1: hope for a good game. And that in their mind
Speaker 1: they want to blow out. In our mind, we want
Speaker 1: a last minute play. You know, that's what people think
Speaker 1: we're totally cheering for a certain team. No, we want
Speaker 1: the last minute play. We want the Russell Douglas interception,
Speaker 1: we want the you know, like the touchdown, last meet,
Speaker 1: all those things. So, yeah, we didn't get it. That
Speaker 1: was a bummer we had. I had that the updates
Speaker 1: with the Minnesota the Packers game ended up being a
Speaker 1: really good game that lived up to the hype. UM.
Speaker 1: I was happy that that the Vikings had one just
Speaker 1: to sort of, I don't know, shake things up in
Speaker 1: the NFC North. So I was happy about that. The Bills,
Speaker 1: by the way, like, wow they Rooney, what happened? I
Speaker 1: don't know when the Titans, like are they fraudulent? Like
Speaker 1: did they just have a couple of good games defensively?
Speaker 1: It's like that's a it's a very interesting time in
Speaker 1: the league where there's so much charity and one week
Speaker 1: somebody looks great, the next week they don't. I like it,
Speaker 1: but then again, my bank account doesn't. Because the gambling
Speaker 1: situation is I'm all over the map. It's not good.
Speaker 1: It's really not Um Besides all that, how is the
Speaker 1: rest of the week. The rest of the week was good.
Speaker 1: I was on your frequent flyer of miles with a
Speaker 1: interview in Minnesota, a red eye. How do you feel
Speaker 1: about red eyes? I'm all about them? Oh okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 1: Why do you like him so much? Because I get
Speaker 1: my whole day. I'm like, I can do I can
Speaker 1: be very productive, get a whole day done, but then
Speaker 1: it takes me about two days to recover from them.
Speaker 1: So I went and did the red eye in and
Speaker 1: then went to Minnesota. How to sit down with Justin Jefferson,
Speaker 1: who you've sat down with before, who's so sweet? Ended
Speaker 1: up having a great game, so nice, And then went
Speaker 1: to Chicago for Justin Field's interview which is supposed to
Speaker 1: air on Thanksgiving, which he also got hurt. I hope
Speaker 1: he's okay, but a ribs clean injury, so who knows
Speaker 1: what's happening with that? But um yeah, I read eye.
Speaker 1: Don't you feel like it kicks your ass the next day?
Speaker 1: That's how I feel right now. I didn't take a
Speaker 1: red eye, but I only got four hours sleep and
Speaker 1: then I slept the whole flight from Dallas to l
Speaker 1: a but I still don't feel great. It sets you back.
Speaker 1: You're not motivated to do anything. See. I feel like
Speaker 1: it's that thing where it's like you're always someone that
Speaker 1: if you're feeling like tired and run down, you're like,
Speaker 1: just get on the bike, just go work out, do
Speaker 1: something and keep moving. And I'm going to. I'm going to.
Speaker 1: I'm going to when I'm done with this because I
Speaker 1: need to. That would be the only thing that kind
Speaker 1: of wakes me up. But um, yeah, So okay, how
Speaker 1: is Chicago? You guys went out? You had fun. Um,
Speaker 1: Chicago was great. I love Chicago. Chicago is like a
Speaker 1: mini New York. You get the whole metropolitan vibe, but
Speaker 1: you're not overwhelmed by the deal. I wish I was
Speaker 1: there longer, but Jillian was. Again, all roads leap back
Speaker 1: to Jillian and she was in the mix. We had
Speaker 1: a great time, came back home and just been on
Speaker 1: the grind. I'm gonna go home to Seattle for Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: Good Okay, you headed to Detroit. When's the last time
Speaker 1: you got Thanksgiving with the fam? No? I don't even
Speaker 1: remember because I've always worked Thursdays forever, even when I
Speaker 1: was at ESPN. I did college Thursdays. I remember my
Speaker 1: very first time I had to not be with my parents.
Speaker 1: We were in West Virginia, Western Virginia and if it's
Speaker 1: fifteen degrees and you screw up on air, and I
Speaker 1: was so sad, and I remember I I was just
Speaker 1: really bummed out. And I remember pouting in my hotel
Speaker 1: room that morning and Mike Tarico texting me and asking
Speaker 1: me to go to like a backyard football game the
Speaker 1: boys were doing like you know, and it was so cold,
Speaker 1: and I was like, no, I'm just gonna lay in
Speaker 1: my bed, and I was so sad. Now I wouldn't
Speaker 1: even know what to do with myself. At a Thanksgiving,
Speaker 1: my my sister and my parents get together and they
Speaker 1: do their thing. My husband always goes in l A. No,
Speaker 1: they go to their in Tampa, and then my husband
Speaker 1: always goes. Jackie Quick is nice enough to host the
Speaker 1: single boys and the American boys that don't really have
Speaker 1: any place to go, and it ends up just being
Speaker 1: our friends. So she always cooks a big, fat feast
Speaker 1: and everybody goes to her house. So I miss it all. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I used to be able to get home and Jackie
Speaker 1: would make me a plate and then I would heat
Speaker 1: it up when I got home. But now I'm gonna
Speaker 1: stay out in the Midwest because we have a game
Speaker 1: on Sunday, which is a great game. I hope it's
Speaker 1: Packers Rams, so that will be interesting. Pretty degrees already
Speaker 1: the high on sun Day. Okay, where's the cold as
Speaker 1: you've been so far? Yesterday was probably the coldest and
Speaker 1: it wasn't even that bad Casey. It was fifties to
Speaker 1: start the game, and then she dipped down a little bit.
Speaker 1: I even you know me and my ears. I had
Speaker 1: to put that call cap on because those puppies were
Speaker 1: getting they were speaking to me. So anyone who doesn't
Speaker 1: know Aaron's had ear surgery. Her ears pinned back, which
Speaker 1: I didn't know prior to doing this podcast, so her
Speaker 1: ears are very sensitive this one. Yes, yes, yes, so yeah.
Speaker 1: So who will be at your Thanksgiving? Does your mom
Speaker 1: make this feast? What do we do here? This is
Speaker 1: very Kathy Thompson. Kathy's given up on holidays, and not
Speaker 1: in a bad way. She's just ready for the next
Speaker 1: phase of her life. And why I said this because
Speaker 1: my parents were eighteen when they had my sister, than
Speaker 1: twenty when they had my brother two when they had me.
Speaker 1: So at this point, at thirty nine, they're like, we're
Speaker 1: fucking over being parents. Like they want to go on
Speaker 1: a Caribbean cruise. Probably not. My mom hates cruise as
Speaker 1: she thinks they're disgusting and doesn't like a buffet line.
Speaker 1: But she just wants nothing to do with like having
Speaker 1: to do motherly things. I told her. I was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: we're gonna come up for Thanksgiving. She goes, you know,
Speaker 1: we're not even doing that. And I go, oh, we're
Speaker 1: not doing Thanksgiving and she goes, no, your sister just
Speaker 1: said that she'll like do it on Wednesday or something,
Speaker 1: but like, I don't know, I haven't name checked in.
Speaker 1: I go, okay, so I'm gonna go up for Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: me at my sister's house on Wednesday and then come
Speaker 1: back to l A on Thursday. So okay, you know,
Speaker 1: And and my mom says it lovingly. She's just like over,
Speaker 1: you know my parents are. They're also the people that
Speaker 1: when I remember when I got married the first time
Speaker 1: and like no one knew I even got married, and
Speaker 1: I called her like three months later and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, I need to tell you something I
Speaker 1: got married. She's like, Okay, tell your dad because I'm
Speaker 1: not telling him. She's just so chill about everything. So
Speaker 1: although we loved holidays and like growing up, like Christmas
Speaker 1: is a big deal for us, Like that's still in
Speaker 1: the mix, like Christmas movies, Christmas tree. Um, She's just
Speaker 1: not a meddler in life. She's like, if you want
Speaker 1: to come home, great, If you don't, whatever, when was
Speaker 1: the last time you had a real, real, like hardcore Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, is that sad? I don't
Speaker 1: I don't remember, and not in a bad way. I
Speaker 1: just like, I think that I always end up not
Speaker 1: going home because I'll have to work on Sunday and
Speaker 1: then by the time to travel and the whole thing. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So it's just sure you were sick. You had corona
Speaker 1: on your memories better than mine. See, this is what
Speaker 1: happened when you have COVID to that degree you forget. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was stuck in an apartment in New York for
Speaker 1: ten days. So fa la la la la. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know. Although I do love Thanksgiving, it's just not
Speaker 1: I love it. The food is so good I have
Speaker 1: to just have it all. I'm not going to get
Speaker 1: it obviously this year. But what's your favorite. It has
Speaker 1: to be a green bean cast role. I love the
Speaker 1: cream of mushroom. It's like a redneck dish, but damn
Speaker 1: it's so good. The creama mushroom, the beans, the fried
Speaker 1: onions on top, crispy fried onions, burnt a little bit.
Speaker 1: M I could crush pumpkin pies. Pumpkin Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I could be in a pie eating contest. I could
Speaker 1: be like the pumpkin pie. Yeah, I'm not a pie gal.
Speaker 1: I don't really care. Like an Apple's fine, but it's
Speaker 1: it does nothing for me my go to like dessert,
Speaker 1: but it's not very Thanksgiving is all I want is
Speaker 1: a brownie Sunday. That's it. But I'm not getting that
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving, Like that's not happening. But that's would be
Speaker 1: my go to dessert. This leads me now to my
Speaker 1: next thing. And I was thinking about this as I
Speaker 1: was in line for dunkin Donuts. I would love a
Speaker 1: dunkin Donuts endorsement. Um, I need to start eating better.
Speaker 1: I my body is not going it's not happy, and
Speaker 1: I just well, yeah, all this travel and the drinking
Speaker 1: and then you know I'm shoving to freaking crustables in
Speaker 1: my mouth. Like, as Julian said today, all I need
Speaker 1: to eat is air and lettuce. I just really need
Speaker 1: to like dial it back on things. And so I
Speaker 1: was like, fine this morning as I was at DFW,
Speaker 1: this is my last bad meal. Hi, I'd like a
Speaker 1: toe to put plain bagel please, with a lot of
Speaker 1: strawberry cream cheese. You're strawberry cream cheese. It's so good?
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? That's like the twelve year old
Speaker 1: e a. I can't. I don't know anyone that's into
Speaker 1: a strawberry cream cheese so delicious. And then I have
Speaker 1: to sit there in my seat as everybody's walking by,
Speaker 1: and I've got my mask on, and I'm just like,
Speaker 1: you know, spreading it on my bagel and then taking
Speaker 1: my mask off and eating it. I'm like, I'm so gross,
Speaker 1: but it's so delicious. But yeah, I really like Tonight's
Speaker 1: the night I'm going to watch the Bucks and the
Speaker 1: Giants and eat. Well, this is what I do. I'm
Speaker 1: a I'm not a bad eater. I'm not a bad eater,
Speaker 1: but I'm a very you don't know, but that's but
Speaker 1: that's not good like I have like struggled my whole
Speaker 1: life because of a very bad metabolism. This is just
Speaker 1: a thing. It's genetic fine that I can't. I have
Speaker 1: to really pick my calories, Like where am I going
Speaker 1: to spend these calories? And it has to be for wine.
Speaker 1: Then we've got to like make concessions somewhere else. So
Speaker 1: do you know those perfect bars, the ones that I
Speaker 1: eat like all the time? I think Jackie and I
Speaker 1: have talked about this, like I've been eating one every
Speaker 1: day for like the US four years. It's so annoying.
Speaker 1: And this reminds me of mean girls. I want why
Speaker 1: what which part? Well, those bars that she thinks will
Speaker 1: make you these weight It gives you a lot of
Speaker 1: calories right away and then you'll look weight after. Yes,
Speaker 1: and so that's the perfect bar in the morning. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm all out of perfect bars at the house. So
Speaker 1: do you know what I did? I ate chocolate chip
Speaker 1: cookie dough for breakfast because to me, it was like
Speaker 1: basically the same thing. Yeah, I have it the toll
Speaker 1: House one in the refrigerator, and I was like, well,
Speaker 1: it's kind of the same as the chocolate chip the
Speaker 1: bar in the morning. So again, does it matter where
Speaker 1: the calories are spent. No, Like I took three scoops
Speaker 1: of it and that was equivalent to the bar And
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, well, you're making fun of
Speaker 1: me for having strawberry cream cheese, but you're eating raw
Speaker 1: cookie dough for breakfast. It's all that was there in
Speaker 1: my my fridge. I will not let Kyle go grocery
Speaker 1: shopping because I don't want food in the house that
Speaker 1: I know I'll eat. It's a real problem. Like I
Speaker 1: make him just get food outside the house at all times.
Speaker 1: If you open up my fridge, there's like I'm not
Speaker 1: getting there's water, there's diet coke and no it's not.
Speaker 1: And there's cookie cookie dough in there. It's fine, but
Speaker 1: earlier this week. So midweek catch up with you consists
Speaker 1: of a lot of different things. But more times than not,
Speaker 1: when I call you while you're at home midweek is
Speaker 1: you're walking how how And you were walking him this
Speaker 1: week and there was a moment where there was a
Speaker 1: poop bag incident. Poop bag how did I say? At
Speaker 1: poop bag incident? Where he had already went to the
Speaker 1: bathroom and you used the poop bag and then he
Speaker 1: went again, and you didn't have another one, and you
Speaker 1: were negotiating, like talking all about how you had to
Speaker 1: come back to get another bag, and if anyone saw
Speaker 1: you leave the poop, then there was a little so embarrassing, right,
Speaker 1: You feel like they're doing the walk or run of
Speaker 1: shame when your dog goes to the bathroom and you
Speaker 1: don't have a bag. Because our neighborhood is really small
Speaker 1: and people obviously know who we are, and so he
Speaker 1: took a huge dump and I was like, oh my god.
Speaker 1: And I actually what happened was I didn't bring one
Speaker 1: because this was not a time. He usually doesn't mean
Speaker 1: does a morning or night, but this was an afternoon,
Speaker 1: and he I was like, wait, where is this coming from? Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I was on the phone with you, and I
Speaker 1: had to like truck it to. We have a nearby church,
Speaker 1: which they're nice enough to put poop bags out. I
Speaker 1: just always feel like people are watching and then they're like,
Speaker 1: there she is that shitty neighbor running away leaving her dogship.
Speaker 1: But I ran back as fast as I could just
Speaker 1: scoop it up. I also feel like I have to
Speaker 1: say something out loud to Howie in case the people
Speaker 1: are looking at me through their window. I'm like, we're
Speaker 1: gonna go get a poop bag, honey, and we're gonna
Speaker 1: come right back. I'll get one step further. These rings
Speaker 1: will get you, okay, because I don't know, you not
Speaker 1: want to be in this neighborhood. And all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: that ring zooms in and I'm the asshole with two
Speaker 1: of these dogs just losing their mind in the front yard.
Speaker 1: Because if someone did that to me and I caught
Speaker 1: him on a ring, I would totally expose them. So
Speaker 1: I'll say this, like, I'll say out loud, same thing.
Speaker 1: I'll say, like, I can't believe you guys are going
Speaker 1: poop again. We already used up one of your poop bags.
Speaker 1: And then I'll are sure that I like come back
Speaker 1: with like grocery bags so that they see today Kyle
Speaker 1: went and took him down this side street or whatever,
Speaker 1: and he walked out without a poop bag. I knew it.
Speaker 1: I watched him on the camera and I was like,
Speaker 1: son of a bitch. I was like, we cannot be
Speaker 1: caught on camera without I raced down the alleyway with
Speaker 1: a with a grocery bag because we're out of the
Speaker 1: poop bags, and I was like, you better clean this
Speaker 1: thing up. He's like, what is going on. I was like,
Speaker 1: we cannot be those people. I cannot be caught on
Speaker 1: camera not cleaning the poop up. I've had it so
Speaker 1: bad where I've had to take leaves, leaves and like
Speaker 1: debris that's around and then try to pick it up.
Speaker 1: Now it's on the hand. Now we're walking, the dogs
Speaker 1: pulling you. It's a whole thing. But I'd rather have
Speaker 1: that than be accused of being a poop leaver. You know.
Speaker 1: I've had it so bad where my dog has had
Speaker 1: the runs and he has just like painted somebody's like
Speaker 1: really nice marble like front of their house and I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, and one bag. He's like, I'm just
Speaker 1: like finger painting, smearing it everywhere. And I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: so I run home. Of course I see something out
Speaker 1: loud in the air. I'm like, wow, this is massy.
Speaker 1: I'll be right back, but I come back with a
Speaker 1: water bottle to like clean it off, like it just
Speaker 1: feel terrible. And actually a lady was watching me from
Speaker 1: another house and she's like, thank you so much. That
Speaker 1: would have been awful to leave it. And I was like,
Speaker 1: I know, I'm mortified. Yeah, howno at the dog park.
Speaker 1: To take this one step further, you take the dogs
Speaker 1: in the dog park. They're running around. I'm not monitoring
Speaker 1: their every move. Okay, it's a time for me to
Speaker 1: catch up on email. I'm looking down, I'm looking at
Speaker 1: the phone, and I get this, excuse me, ma'am, is
Speaker 1: that your German shepherd? And I'm like this, like, oh God,
Speaker 1: who's what she's malling someone? What's going on here? That's
Speaker 1: a very large poop that she just did over there?
Speaker 1: Are you going to clean it up? And I'm like, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was getting to that the poop that I didn't see,
Speaker 1: but yes, sir, I'm getting to it. Like I would
Speaker 1: never point that out to someone in the dog park.
Speaker 1: I know. Dog parks give me so much anxiety. I
Speaker 1: know they do, which brings me to another story. So
Speaker 1: when you're on the road with a girlfriend, or let's
Speaker 1: just say, like you're you know whatever, like you and
Speaker 1: I are going out for the night or something like that,
Speaker 1: and I have makeup in my purse okay, or a
Speaker 1: makeup bag more than makeup bag, But just in general,
Speaker 1: do you ever get embarrassed or feel like you have
Speaker 1: to explain when someone asked to borrow something like makeup
Speaker 1: was like a lip gloss or like use the brush
Speaker 1: and the bronzer, because there's this whole thing like if
Speaker 1: Jillian's like, hey, can I borrow something out of that
Speaker 1: bag of yours? And I'm like, I feel so embarrassed
Speaker 1: becuse she's a makeup artist that I have to explain
Speaker 1: that my makeup bag isn't as nice as hers. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, sorry, that's dirty or that's not nice,
Speaker 1: like it's like a cheaper brand or something like that.
Speaker 1: Do you ever have that like that hysteria? No, because
Speaker 1: I think she knows already that I'm a hot mess.
Speaker 1: And it's fine. So I mean, I'm I will say
Speaker 1: this loud and proud, and then you wonder why I
Speaker 1: complain about getting It's I don't know the last time
Speaker 1: I clean my makeup brushes. That's fine, casting I don't
Speaker 1: have time. I'm you know, like I don't know, and
Speaker 1: I don't feel like I wear makeup enough. But again,
Speaker 1: you think, why are I doing videos and complaining about
Speaker 1: the cystic acne? Well, probably because I haven't watched a
Speaker 1: makeup brush. Also did the like, did you just get
Speaker 1: so fucking dark in here? I don't know, dark. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm like sitting in the dark. No.
Speaker 1: The reason I'm saying that is because I'm always so
Speaker 1: embarrassed because like when I go out, like I'll take
Speaker 1: a blush brush and just throw it in the bottom
Speaker 1: of my purse like a quick touch up, and then
Speaker 1: someone like sees me pulling that out of my purse,
Speaker 1: the like, oh, that's where you carry your brushes, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, okay, good, We're on that. Okay, we're
Speaker 1: on the same leaves the beauty blender that I'm supposed
Speaker 1: to touch myself up with at halftime, she freaking leaves
Speaker 1: it on the table. I know she's going to hear
Speaker 1: this and be like, no, I don't, Yes, you do.
Speaker 1: There's so many people that like leather shipped on that,
Speaker 1: and I'm I'm crazy enough to pick it up real
Speaker 1: quick and like wipe my face with it before I
Speaker 1: have to go talk to Mike McCarthy about what's wrong
Speaker 1: with this offense? You know, Okay, I didn't know if
Speaker 1: that was I didn't know if that was like a thing,
Speaker 1: because I was like, am I like being gross? And
Speaker 1: like putting my makeup brush in the bottom of a purse,
Speaker 1: but like suck it. So I am I being grossed
Speaker 1: by eating cheese in my hotel room. We had a
Speaker 1: lot of interaction with our i G followers followers on
Speaker 1: the Calm Down podcast i G. I was trying to
Speaker 1: be really good this week, to um be interactive with
Speaker 1: everybody and kind of just tell them what I was
Speaker 1: up to. But um, yeah, a lot of d m
Speaker 1: s and stuff you were which brings us to a
Speaker 1: new segment. I just made this up, question, comment, and concern.
Speaker 1: Drumroll please okay, So we will review, I will review
Speaker 1: or Aaron will review comments from our i G. One
Speaker 1: will be a question, one will be a comment, and
Speaker 1: one will be a concern. In our inaugural episode of
Speaker 1: such things, our first thing is a comment. Um oh no, no, no,
Speaker 1: We'll go to the question because we got a lot
Speaker 1: of questions about this. We'll go to the question because
Speaker 1: we got a lot of questions about this. Please update
Speaker 1: us on the cheese sitch. This is from Sean Aaron.
Speaker 1: What happened after the chief Nothing were used in the bathroom? No,
Speaker 1: I it didn't hurt my stomach. I was a little
Speaker 1: concerned about it. But several years ago, when I was
Speaker 1: working for ESPN, Chris Fowler and I were in a
Speaker 1: lounge at an airport and it was right after a game.
Speaker 1: There was like a whole like cheese spread and I
Speaker 1: ate like probably four or five pieces of cheddar cheese.
Speaker 1: Got home the next day I was going out of
Speaker 1: both holes puking, vomiting. It was around this time of
Speaker 1: year and it happened to Chris Fowler too, and it
Speaker 1: was the cheese. So I've kind of had a phobia
Speaker 1: about cheese that has been left out. They always leave
Speaker 1: it in our green rooms before our games, and like
Speaker 1: there's some talent I'm not going to say who they
Speaker 1: are chowing down on this, and I'm like, well, you
Speaker 1: know what, that's not going to feel good coming out
Speaker 1: like that. I feel good in the third quarter, depending
Speaker 1: on how long that's been sitting out exact amundo. So
Speaker 1: this hotel we stand is so nice and I love
Speaker 1: a triple cream, but it wasn't really that triple creamy.
Speaker 1: It was kind of hard and I ate it all
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh God, I'm gonna get sick,
Speaker 1: but I didn't. It was triple cream you kept referring
Speaker 1: to I didn't. I didn't. I don't know what that is. Oh,
Speaker 1: I love a triple cream cheese. It's like the kind
Speaker 1: with like the ryan outside and then it's creamy on
Speaker 1: the inside and then you just like smear it on
Speaker 1: a cracker. It's oh, Brie said, it's a British Okay.
Speaker 1: So you were fine. All, all was fine with the
Speaker 1: cheese situation. All was fine. Thanks for the concern. Okay.
Speaker 1: So speaking of concern, Ronda, who is adorable, she sent
Speaker 1: this message ron Da VI. This is off of your video,
Speaker 1: she said. This is so me. I stressed out overthinking everything.
Speaker 1: I also would have went straight for the cheese to
Speaker 1: On a side note, while typing this message, I accidentally
Speaker 1: sent it before finishing it and running through I was
Speaker 1: looking for typos. I had a mini panic attack because
Speaker 1: I didn't want my first message to you guys looking
Speaker 1: all messed up. Happy to report, I figured out how
Speaker 1: to delete it, the catastrophe of the message, and all
Speaker 1: is well in my world again. L O L. So
Speaker 1: I think Ronda's adorable for two reasons. Is because she's
Speaker 1: like us in terms of let's say we sent a
Speaker 1: message to someone we had never sent a message before,
Speaker 1: and we saw these typos, we'd be like, what an idiot?
Speaker 1: And we didn't have to do like seventeen asterisks on it.
Speaker 1: But I also appreciate how she figured out how to
Speaker 1: do an unsend because that is my favorite button on
Speaker 1: Instagram unsend. I didn't know there was that button. You
Speaker 1: don't know about it? Are you crazy? It is literally
Speaker 1: the button I used the most. Oh it's right here, unsend. Okay,
Speaker 1: I just sent you a note. I sent you a
Speaker 1: d M and it said hey girl, and then it's
Speaker 1: Jackie now um, and then I just did unsend. Okay.
Speaker 1: I'm like a grandma, right. But the kids in the
Speaker 1: streets these days are also doing the disappearing ones. You
Speaker 1: haven't heard about that. I don't even know that either.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't know how to get into that. I'm so old,
Speaker 1: and I don't want to know anything about the disappearing
Speaker 1: ones because knowing me, I would not get them to disappear,
Speaker 1: and I would want to disappear are personally, that's my
Speaker 1: When I was still singing, some guys like send me
Speaker 1: something on Snapchat, I was like, huh, I don't have
Speaker 1: a Snapchat account, and my luck, my luck, that thing
Speaker 1: will stay there forever and not go anywhere. So we're
Speaker 1: not dabbling. You know, I'll draw you a picture. My
Speaker 1: biggest concern is we do these conference calls every week,
Speaker 1: and you know the ones. We do them with the
Speaker 1: away team and the home team. A lot of crews
Speaker 1: do zoom, but our crew, thank god, we don't do that.
Speaker 1: We do these conference calls with the coaches and the players,
Speaker 1: and they're long, They're like an hour and a half long.
Speaker 1: But it's how we get our prep done. And it's great.
Speaker 1: But sometimes I gotta pee during up. I gotta go
Speaker 1: to the bathroom, and it's like it does matter if
Speaker 1: it's so and so harsh and so. So it's like
Speaker 1: I'm always like holding the phone as I pee because
Speaker 1: I don't want to miss anything and be like I
Speaker 1: always have this crazy feeling like what happens if, like
Speaker 1: I get a text and it accidentally hits the un
Speaker 1: mute button and I'm flushing the toilet. Aaron Rodgers is
Speaker 1: going over like why they've struggled on third downs, you know,
Speaker 1: like they could never prove it's me. But I would
Speaker 1: always just be afraid or I would say something like
Speaker 1: we're at a toilet paper or something like that, you know,
Speaker 1: or you'd be getting in your car on a bluetooth
Speaker 1: call like we had. I've done that all Fox conference call.
Speaker 1: It was like the company wide call, and like everyone's
Speaker 1: on it. It's like Rupert or something like everyone the
Speaker 1: NFL Roger Goodell's on the call. All of a sudden,
Speaker 1: we hear Aaron at the valet. No, that's okay, you
Speaker 1: can leave it right there, and the entire call, and
Speaker 1: then at that moment it's like, oh shit, moment, everybody
Speaker 1: just starts texting you like, mute your fun. God, I
Speaker 1: cut you off. That was the best part. You go, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm on a really fun conference call. Oh that was
Speaker 1: fucking amazing. By the way, could have been way worse,
Speaker 1: could have been worse. I thought so immediately what I
Speaker 1: think of in situations like that, like this could have
Speaker 1: been real bad. I definitely muted my phone while going
Speaker 1: to the bathroom on a lot of different calls. You
Speaker 1: gotta go, you gotta go, you gotta go. I can't
Speaker 1: hold it. It's not good for you. No, it's not.
Speaker 1: Or you mute, say something real quick and then do
Speaker 1: the flush, because at least it's bought you some time
Speaker 1: there and between with you. Yeah, exactly. Going back to
Speaker 1: our question, comments and concerns, so we've covered the concern.
Speaker 1: The question and the comment is from Ben and Phoebe.
Speaker 1: I screenshot at it. This little cutie said, I just
Speaker 1: wanted to give you guys a shout out. My boyfriend
Speaker 1: introduced me to your Guys podcast and I absolutely adore
Speaker 1: you guys. You remind me of me and my best ps.
Speaker 1: The Nettie Pot episode had me in tears. True story
Speaker 1: The struggles of Sinuses love Amber Cutie. Um, So, guys,
Speaker 1: if you have a question, a comment, or concerned maybe
Speaker 1: we'll pick your d M and talk about it. But
Speaker 1: we appreciate you reaching out. A lot of comments about
Speaker 1: the cheese who knew? Oh yeah, And then this was
Speaker 1: one is while Ryan is reminding me about our producer, Ryan,
Speaker 1: there was one from a woman and she was talking
Speaker 1: about getting pedicures from guys and girls. She was actually
Speaker 1: asking is it weird to get one from a guy.
Speaker 1: She didn't used to think so, but when she took
Speaker 1: her husband one time to get a pedicure, a girl
Speaker 1: worked on him while a guy worked on her. And
Speaker 1: I guess the husband kept looking over the guy that
Speaker 1: was giving the pedicure, and he got kind of jealous.
Speaker 1: He wasn't really the jealous type. I don't know. And
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest. When I go get a manicure pedicure,
Speaker 1: I'm so out to lunch. I'm I have a d D.
Speaker 1: I want to get out of there. It's like taking
Speaker 1: too long, like I've got it a read. I I
Speaker 1: don't doing this hand, we're doing that hand. What about
Speaker 1: the massaging though, because I'm actually going to get a
Speaker 1: massage next week I'm excited or this week that I'm
Speaker 1: excited about it. When they ask you if you want
Speaker 1: a guy or a girl, how do you feel about that?
Speaker 1: I always get a guy. I get a guy, unless
Speaker 1: I'm doing a couple's massage, then I'll get a girl
Speaker 1: because if you're lying next to your husband and then
Speaker 1: a man's massage and is like that's weird when totally
Speaker 1: need like I don't need to watch it, like dude,
Speaker 1: massage you kind of a thing. But um, yeah, I
Speaker 1: think the guys because guys give a harder massage in
Speaker 1: my experience, so and I like a really deep tissue massage,
Speaker 1: but I think it's all like what you're I'm not
Speaker 1: uncomfortable without anything, like I'm always just like what I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't even think about it like that.
Speaker 1: I'm just like, yo, can we work this like? You know,
Speaker 1: trap the left, trap up here a little bit more. No,
Speaker 1: it's not a big deal. Are you talking about a
Speaker 1: full body massage or just the massage of the nail salon? No?
Speaker 1: No, no no, I'm talking about a full body massage. The
Speaker 1: only thing that doesn't work for me with a full
Speaker 1: body massage, especially at like a hotel. So why am
Speaker 1: I getting run done later this week at a hotel
Speaker 1: or anything like that is I always feel like they're
Speaker 1: not doing a really good job, and then I can't
Speaker 1: concentrate and I have anxiety, and I'm like trying to
Speaker 1: will them to certain places on my body that need it,
Speaker 1: like my neck or my back, and I feel like
Speaker 1: if all my energy goes towards that way, maybe they'll
Speaker 1: like do it instead. I guess I should start saying
Speaker 1: could you over here? Or on my shoulders. I do
Speaker 1: a lot of direction. I'm an air traf. I'm like,
Speaker 1: let's go here, let's go there, and then I'm gonna
Speaker 1: let you know after here, we're then going to also
Speaker 1: go over there and she's like or he goes like,

Speaker 1: I just want to let them know. I like to
Speaker 1: give everyone, I like a roadmap, then there's no confusion
Speaker 1: about where we're going with anything. You know. I also
Speaker 1: have a very unhealthy relationship though with my with my
Speaker 1: nail technician Lynn, Like she's like my best friend, Like
