Speaker 1: I also spread perfume on myself before I go to bed,
Speaker 1: and no one's in the bed with me. But like,
Speaker 1: I just love being fresh, fresh, fresh, and like cute.
Speaker 1: And I think to myself, if I had a heart
Speaker 1: attack in this bed tonight and I died, I smell
Speaker 1: delicious and I looked like I was put together. Calm
Speaker 1: Down with Aaron and Carissa is a production of I
Speaker 1: Heart Radio. We welcome everybody to the Calm Down Podcast.
Speaker 1: We are not ready. I don't know. I was gonna say,
Speaker 1: I was gonna make a noise, but then it didn't
Speaker 1: work out. I was gonna face but then I was like,
Speaker 1: that was weird. When do I ever make that night?
Speaker 1: What was the was gonna be for? Just to be excited? Okay?
Speaker 1: I love that? All right, you guys. It is the well.
Speaker 1: We take our podcast on Mondays, as you know from
Speaker 1: our pregame. But Week thirteen is almost finished after tonight's
Speaker 1: When Night football game. Aaron Andrews, you were in Philadelphia
Speaker 1: this week for a great matchup between the Eagles and
Speaker 1: the Titans, and the Eagles showed their dominance. Um, where
Speaker 1: was that that was in Boston for Bills game? Wasn't
Speaker 1: how was it? How was it? We haven't really talked
Speaker 1: about the game. We haven't talked about the game. The
Speaker 1: game was really good until halftime and then the Bills
Speaker 1: ran away with it. Mac Jones not happy on the sideline,
Speaker 1: But I mean about you, your experience Boston. Tell me,
Speaker 1: oh my god, go we know what happened. I know
Speaker 1: what happened in Boston. You text me right away. This
Speaker 1: is great. Okay, So what I don't know if you
Speaker 1: guys remember the episode where Aaron talked about staying at
Speaker 1: the same hotel as the Kardashians for whatever it was for.
Speaker 1: Was it for the met Galas something or other? Yes,
Speaker 1: it was Matt Galla. The only person or group or
Speaker 1: couple that is bigger than the Kardashians that you could
Speaker 1: be staying at the same hotel with would be the Royals.
Speaker 1: When we mean the Royals, not the loser Royals on
Speaker 1: Netflix right now, getting you hate it, step away from
Speaker 1: the camera, girl, Megan markle Man, I got stuff to
Speaker 1: say that this girl, she just loves to hear herself talked. Man,
Speaker 1: she won't. Okay, Let's get back to the real Royals, Kate,
Speaker 1: the real William, the King and the Queen the future
Speaker 1: King and Queen of England can't wait. So I don't
Speaker 1: know that we're gonna be staying at the same hotel.
Speaker 1: I never I mean, why would I know until we
Speaker 1: pull up security security anyway, great hotel is a great
Speaker 1: hotel in Boston, but I quickly recognize something's different. But
Speaker 1: I mean, al Michael needs security, but not this much security,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, So quickly tipped off that
Speaker 1: the royals are staying at the same hotel. There's three elevators.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say chafts, but that's inappropriate. We're not
Speaker 1: saying the word shaft, although it's a movie and it's fine.
Speaker 1: So it's partitioned off with like a rope thing in
Speaker 1: front of it, and I send the picture to you
Speaker 1: and I'm like, that's their elevator because of they can't
Speaker 1: be in an elevator with regular civilians, and being like,
Speaker 1: can you hit the lobby for us? No? No, no,
Speaker 1: So what I will say, I feel like William and
Speaker 1: Kate they would They're like down there, down to party.
Speaker 1: They seem lovely, whereas other people who were royal for
Speaker 1: a minute but are annoyed that their kids don't have
Speaker 1: princes and princesses attached, yet we hate the royal family.
Speaker 1: Would be like, I need my own security. Oh that's
Speaker 1: my fake accent like hers and my face, my own
Speaker 1: elevator continued, this is your story, which, by the way,
Speaker 1: your children will get that title. They now get that
Speaker 1: title because it's all in what direct line that they're
Speaker 1: going roy Yeah, which is a whole sidebar. Okay, So
Speaker 1: William McKay flying commercial there, stars are just like, no,
Speaker 1: they're not. But these two are gems. All I wanted
Speaker 1: to do was see them. Turns out that they ended
Speaker 1: up going in and out of the garage most of
Speaker 1: the time, as they should, right, because they don't want
Speaker 1: to be you know whatever. But as I was leaving,
Speaker 1: so it was what it would have been Friday morning,
Speaker 1: I will later flight, and I'm waiting in the lobby,
Speaker 1: and I know this is my last chance that I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get a snake peak of them. So I'm waiting
Speaker 1: in the lobby and waiting in the lobby. We're about
Speaker 1: ready to go. I see all of their the royal
Speaker 1: brass around, the accents are are going. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of leather bound folders, agendas in there, like probably like
Speaker 1: wearing I fbs. Everybody's in an I f B. No,
Speaker 1: but there's the security around the perimeter that's doing this move.
Speaker 1: You always know when. And they're also dressed their security
Speaker 1: dressed in you know, every day closes, so not to
Speaker 1: like tip anyone off, which is nice. So anyway, so
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, it's happening. They're coming down here.
Speaker 1: They wouldn't all be standing in the lobby if there
Speaker 1: wasn't happening. And then there was like all these people
Speaker 1: outside that we're waiting to get a glimpse, including myself.
Speaker 1: So I'm waiting. I'm waiting. I'm like, this is my
Speaker 1: big moment. And then I have to go because the
Speaker 1: rest of our group was like, all right, let's load
Speaker 1: up the car. Time to go, gotta make our flight,
Speaker 1: and I want to be like, no, I have to
Speaker 1: see them. I was almost willing to miss the flight
Speaker 1: to hang around, but it would have been a really
Speaker 1: great time. But just to think that they were in
Speaker 1: the same hotel, that's the closest I'm ever going to
Speaker 1: get to those dreams. So that was awesome, And it
Speaker 1: was also just really cool to think, like, I love
Speaker 1: it's as close as we'll ever get to like a
Speaker 1: fairy tale, right, Like that's why we love the Royals.
Speaker 1: It's like the last little bit that we have in
Speaker 1: the world where like everyone's sort of done away with
Speaker 1: pomp and circumstance and there's nothing to really like get
Speaker 1: excited about, like fairy tale and anymore. But I still
Speaker 1: think about them. It's like being real life princes and princesses,
Speaker 1: and like that makes me excited. So I didn't get
Speaker 1: to see that, but it was Yeah, it didn't get
Speaker 1: to see them, but it was also really great just
Speaker 1: to know that they were in the vicinity. So that
Speaker 1: was my experience in Boston. I love the city of Boston.
Speaker 1: You know, you spent a lot of time there between
Speaker 1: baseball and football. Um, but the trip out to Foxborough
Speaker 1: is a little bit of a track because we stayed
Speaker 1: in downtown Boston, so it's an hour and a half
Speaker 1: right out there. But one thing, and you'll attest to this,
Speaker 1: when you travel, you get so close with your crew
Speaker 1: because you're spending so much time the meetings, uh, you know, breakfast,
Speaker 1: the lunch, the dinners. So we had an hour and
Speaker 1: a half ride on the way home when it's after
Speaker 1: the game, and you know people are usually tired. Not
Speaker 1: this group. We decided to play heads up. Things got
Speaker 1: wild and it was so much fun. I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm screaming video screaming. So Taylor is like, she's so
Speaker 1: like competitive about everything, fits is making snarky little comments
Speaker 1: that like only every other person is getting. It was
Speaker 1: just so much fun. And then the day before Ryan
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick he went to Harvard. He went to Hallward. I
Speaker 1: feel like I have to say that. And it was
Speaker 1: so sweet because Tony Andrew, myself, we all wanted to
Speaker 1: take a tour of it. So we ran to wrote
Speaker 1: the subway for the first time and like we went
Speaker 1: and took a tour and it was just really fun.
Speaker 1: And Bryan was so excited. He's like, thanks guys for
Speaker 1: caring about my school, and I was like, caring about
Speaker 1: your school. I've decided in my next life, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: study and I'm gonna work really hard and get into Harvard,
Speaker 1: because how sick would it be to be like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I went to Harvard. If anyone listening to this podcast
Speaker 1: went to Harvard, I need to know stories. I need
Speaker 1: to know, like where you guys went to actually party
Speaker 1: if it was wild, like I have a lot of questions. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be Reese Witherspoon for a minute. I am
Speaker 1: jacked and legally blonde. I mean yeah, I would just
Speaker 1: go for the sweatshirts like best gear, Like Princess died
Speaker 1: when she would rock a home shirt. And I bought one,
Speaker 1: and I feel like we went to the book. So
Speaker 1: I was going to ask you if you bought one,
Speaker 1: and then I'm like, oh, I feel like an idiot
Speaker 1: if I'm wearing that, Like didn't know, but that's okay, right? Hell? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Is it okay to wear a sweatshirt from a Ivy
Speaker 1: League school if you didn't go there? Oh, I was
Speaker 1: gonna say, I'm gonna proudly rap even though I'm a
Speaker 1: Florita Gator, I'm gonna proudly wrap a Colorado buff shirt.
Speaker 1: Let's go congratulations. Dean Sanders is now the head coach
Speaker 1: the Colorado Buffalo, residing in Boulder, Colorado, after going to
Speaker 1: Mississippi and leading his Jackson State University. What's their mascot?
Speaker 1: Tiger there? Tiger's credible job going down there completely. I
Speaker 1: went down there for a charity event for him. Uh,
Speaker 1: this is probably about a year ago now, and it
Speaker 1: is an unbelievable thing to see one individual have such
Speaker 1: an effect on young men on the school, but the community,
Speaker 1: the entire community. Think about all this from a socioeconomic standpoint.
Speaker 1: The restaurants, the stores, everything around the area of the
Speaker 1: university profited off of game day. Was there this year?
Speaker 1: I mean there was so much by product to success
Speaker 1: on the field. And Dion was always my favorite player
Speaker 1: growing up. I wore the number twenty one in basketball
Speaker 1: because I loved him so much, and as you do
Speaker 1: as well, but because it's just a good person and
Speaker 1: he does it the right way, and those young men
Speaker 1: would be better football players, but better people because of
Speaker 1: his guidance. So I'm excited to see what he does
Speaker 1: in good old Colorado. I was dming with Aikman last
Speaker 1: night because Troy put up, you know, the congratulations and
Speaker 1: welcome to Colorado, and I just I'm so excited. And Troy,
Speaker 1: who actually played with Dion, said, I don't think I've
Speaker 1: been more proud and excited for anyone in my life.
Speaker 1: You know, I just my manager and dear friend and
Speaker 1: partner with where and also your friend as well. Constant
Speaker 1: Shortz Marini reps Dion and you know that's a super
Speaker 1: awesome story as well as a female helping him get
Speaker 1: a deal on you know, coaching job. Yeah exactly. But
Speaker 1: I'm just so into this because I obviously love college
Speaker 1: football like you do. I know how crazy that whole
Speaker 1: world is. He's gonna kill it. I mean I was
Speaker 1: at the Philadelphia Eagles and Tennessee Titans game yesterday. I
Speaker 1: was talking to a few assistant coaches on the field
Speaker 1: about it, and I think there's gonna be some coaches
Speaker 1: and some programs that get real scared. I was gonna
Speaker 1: say scared, but I don't know how lame that founded.
Speaker 1: The guy's gonna plug kids from programs. He's gonna take people,
Speaker 1: you know, recruits and bring him to Colorado. I like
Speaker 1: you said, the whole vibe of that city is going
Speaker 1: to change. I was reading an article where one of
Speaker 1: the writers said the excitement, the vibe, the attendance at
Speaker 1: the press conference just felt different. I'm so freaking pumped
Speaker 1: for him. I'm gonna and guess what where we are
Speaker 1: going to be repping the buff So like, I'll get
Speaker 1: us all gear. It's so fun. You know, we've talked
Speaker 1: about this a lot in the NFL this year. The
Speaker 1: coaching matters, right, You've expressed your affinity for Brian Dayball
Speaker 1: and what he's done with the Giants and going in there.
Speaker 1: You look at san Nick Serrianni with the Philadelphia Eagles
Speaker 1: and what he's done there. Pete Carroll and the culture
Speaker 1: that he created up in Seattle. You know, this has
Speaker 1: now been twelve years that he believe that he's been
Speaker 1: up there. But coaching matters. Sean Payton, who I worked with,
Speaker 1: and what he did in New Orleans. You you bring
Speaker 1: and and there's there's no wrong way to Well, that's
Speaker 1: not true. I should say that. Of course there's a
Speaker 1: wrong way to coach. There's different coaching styles. But I
Speaker 1: want to play for someone like Dion. I want to
Speaker 1: play for someone like Mike McDaniel. And sitting down with
Speaker 1: Tua this week, Ta talked about how his entire life
Speaker 1: has changed because Mike McDaniel is the new head coach,
Speaker 1: and it's not an indictment on his old head coach.
Speaker 1: It's just Mike Noel. Mike McDaniel made to a believe
Speaker 1: in himself again, and just thinking that someone can have
Speaker 1: such an impact on your life. It happens with teachers.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it doesn't matter who it is.
Speaker 1: If someone impacts your life to that degree, how can
Speaker 1: you not root for someone like them? So I'm very
Speaker 1: excited for Dion, and I'm excited for the guys that
Speaker 1: get to play for him or even be in his presence.
Speaker 1: So many different things have happened. So all right, we
Speaker 1: have our list per usual of all the different things
Speaker 1: that happened to us throughout the week. We want to
Speaker 1: talk about. One of mine is room keys not working
Speaker 1: when you get up to the This happened to me
Speaker 1: like ten times, probably because security was at an all
Speaker 1: time high and they were just like, you know, like
Speaker 1: absolving people's you know, technology and their keys from working.
Speaker 1: So they wouldn't you know, mander onto the wrong floor
Speaker 1: at the two seasons we could say it now they're
Speaker 1: not there four seasons. So that move where you get
Speaker 1: up to your room and you're like this, and you're like,
Speaker 1: then you have the thought like was it is this
Speaker 1: the wrong room? And they're like no, it's just the
Speaker 1: right room, and then you go and then you're like
Speaker 1: and then you rub the key on your your pants.
Speaker 1: You're like, maybe if I, yeah, let me try another swipe.
Speaker 1: And look, I'm not a lazy person, but it's the
Speaker 1: last thing I want to do when you get all
Speaker 1: up to the room and then you're like, I gotta
Speaker 1: go back down and now at the front, and then
Speaker 1: if I don't have my I D then I'm like,
Speaker 1: I swear this in my room and I'm like, it's
Speaker 1: a whole situation. So the key not working. That happened
Speaker 1: to me twice on this trip, and I was like,
Speaker 1: is there a way I don't have it by the
Speaker 1: credit cards? What are we still doing here? With the tech?
Speaker 1: Some of the places have it on their phone. I've
Speaker 1: got a real doozy for you, which I know your dozy, yeah,
Speaker 1: some of the some of the hotels have the access
Speaker 1: on your phone where you can just like scan it
Speaker 1: on your phone. Downloading an app, well, the four Seasons app,
Speaker 1: which I have. I know it very well. I order
Speaker 1: my room service from it. I let them know when
Speaker 1: my card is out front, Like it's a whole situation.
Speaker 1: I let them know when I've ended. It's a when
Speaker 1: you become massive travels not four Seasons up Ryan. If
Speaker 1: they could sponsor us, I'd be great. Is a dream Time.
Speaker 1: I talked to all the concierge on the app. It's amazing,
Speaker 1: It's god. I got my husband involved this summer when
Speaker 1: we went to Mexico. Ryan again. If there's any way
Speaker 1: they could sponsor us, this would be phenomenal. Their app
Speaker 1: is insane. I left my phone upstairs, but you can,
Speaker 1: like when you land, you can tell them get my
Speaker 1: key ready. I always have boxes delivered. I let them know.
Speaker 1: But so here we go. Ready, this girl travel. You
Speaker 1: are the freaking a master travel. You really are. So
Speaker 1: we were lucky enough to stay in that fabulous Philly
Speaker 1: four seasons this weekend in Philadelphia. As Greg said, it
Speaker 1: was one of the nicest hotels and it is that
Speaker 1: he's ever stayed in. Um I'm up. Yeah, you feel
Speaker 1: like a care bear. Um tenderheart you. So I was
Speaker 1: supposed to meet the boys at nine thirty. I am
Speaker 1: coming down. It's you know, I'm feeling really good about it.
Speaker 1: And then I'm like, ship my phone, my phone. My
Speaker 1: phone's in my room, so are my keys. I've already
Speaker 1: checked out, so now I have to run downstairs. I
Speaker 1: have to I already text the boys and like go
Speaker 1: to the field without me. I don't want to make
Speaker 1: you late, you know, because I just don't like that.
Speaker 1: I feel so bad for the boys, and I don't
Speaker 1: want to hear the oh she's a girl. She was
Speaker 1: doing her hair like that's always been my thing, so
Speaker 1: which they would never do. But I know what they
Speaker 1: they're great. So I run downstairs full sprint. I asked
Speaker 1: for a key because now I need to go get
Speaker 1: my phone. I leave my bags at the front desk,
Speaker 1: running in the hallway in my outfit. Get where's the phone.
Speaker 1: Where's the phone? Oh, there it is, get it. Go downstairs,
Speaker 1: go down another floor, get in the car. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: I was running so hard one of my gloves fell
Speaker 1: out of the pocket of my jackey and they were
Speaker 1: a nice glove, was really pretty in khaki. And now
Speaker 1: that's like that lone glove you see, and it's probably
Speaker 1: on level fifty three one and it's just terrible. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm really pretty glove. I now know what I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get you for Christmas, because I will admit this and
Speaker 1: I feel I have twenty jobs. I work very hard
Speaker 1: for my money. I spent the most absorbitate amount of
Speaker 1: money on gloves when I was in Boston, because you
Speaker 1: know that stretches shocks right therefull No, because I forgot

Speaker 1: number is not gonna you know the French bistro next door.
Speaker 1: I know this place also. Well, No, I am embarrassed
Speaker 1: even say it because it sounds like four seasons and that.
Speaker 1: But it's like the company is paying for it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I spent an exorbitant amount of money on gloves and
Speaker 1: I have never never in my life done this. I
Speaker 1: saved the box they came in because I was like
Speaker 1: I came from. I don't want to say, I'm so embarrassed.
Speaker 1: I'm so it's an orange box. I'll let you guys
Speaker 1: do the math. And I've never right next door. I
Speaker 1: was like I thought I felt there. One time. I
Speaker 1: was like, I have twelve I literally it was like,
Speaker 1: I have twelve minutes before the same thing I'm supposed
Speaker 1: to be on the bus and go and I was like,
Speaker 1: oh shoot, I don't have any gloves and it's sucking.
Speaker 1: Boston in December and I'm like, I need gloves for
Speaker 1: this thing, and like the whole thing is like there
Speaker 1: was an outfit, there was a theme. I can't just
Speaker 1: throw on the like random gloves. So I used my
Speaker 1: allowance for the month on these gloves. You better believe
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be wearing these gloves everywhere. Okay, I'm wearing
Speaker 1: im when it's hot, I'm wearing it's what's cold, These
Speaker 1: tan gloves of mine are being worn in every city
Speaker 1: from here until the end of the season. Damn. It's
Speaker 1: like it's gonna ninety degrees and I'm wearing my gloves.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna encounter that because I lost my glove
Speaker 1: and because our security knows me very well, and they
Speaker 1: were like, it's Philly, it's cold. He's like, I don't
Speaker 1: want to hear you, bitch. He's like, a where can

Speaker 1: nine when or driving to Lincoln Financial, I'm like, just
Speaker 1: take me to a CBS. I'm gonna post on the
Speaker 1: Calm Down podcast. I got a pair of white gloves
Speaker 1: from CBS to wear, thank god, And they had the
Speaker 1: texting thing that was great you ever, I'm CBS what
Speaker 1: is like the little like it was something on my
Speaker 1: finger where I could still do my phone when I
Speaker 1: had my gloves on, Oh well, who's the ass. By
Speaker 1: the way, mine were coming off every five seconds. And
Speaker 1: by the way, they were I as we've talked about
Speaker 1: on the last I just spit every On the last episode,
Speaker 1: I had man hands and she's like, She's like, we
Speaker 1: only have one size, and I was like, I don't care,
Speaker 1: I'll take up. I'm shoving hands in these things. They're

Speaker 1: that outfit. You're like, I don't give a ship. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna lose weight. I'm gonna get at these things. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna buy this thing, and I'm gonna shove my fat
Speaker 1: ass like Santa down the chimney and fit in this thing.
Speaker 1: That's how I felt with the gloves. God damn it,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make these things fit. And you looked gorgeous. Well,
Speaker 1: you're very sweet. I felt so proud of myself. I
Speaker 1: went like this and this is me. I am a
Speaker 1: whirlwind into store. I know, I got twelve minutes. And
Speaker 1: this is after I went to three stores. I poked
Speaker 1: my head and I go, you guys, I got gloves. St. John,

Speaker 1: than twelve minutes. Back on the bus, no one was
Speaker 1: the wiser. Still didn't get to see the royals though,
Speaker 1: God damn it. That was me and CBS. By the way,
Speaker 1: a lot different numbers when we're talking about CBS or MEZ.
Speaker 1: But I'll take it. I'll take it, you know what.
Speaker 1: Speaking of a lot, why are the CBS received so long?
Speaker 1: In the world of work, we we can't get a
Speaker 1: paper straw, But these receipts are as long as Santa's
Speaker 1: Naughty list. This is crazy charging us for bags. But
Speaker 1: yet if they put the money towards the receipt there
Speaker 1: where you go and save these coupons? I want to
Speaker 1: know the that's saving the coupon. I should star you
Speaker 1: know what. Now I'm gonna have to save the coupons
Speaker 1: after the gloves that's all I'm doing. If anyway, without
Speaker 1: some extra CVS, it's throwing my way. I need some
Speaker 1: money off that Loreal moisturizer that's only available from three
Speaker 1: to four with the coupon restrictions. You know, I hate
Speaker 1: rules with the cupon. All right, So now that we're
Speaker 1: talking about shopping, I did a flight last night from
Speaker 1: Philly about five hours, and I thought I would really
Speaker 1: cut into my Christmas shopping because I know you're trying
Speaker 1: to stay on top of it. I haven't done a
Speaker 1: good job. You would think I don't know my spouse
Speaker 1: or people still stay in spouse because I don't know
Speaker 1: what to get him. Um, this is my spouse, spouse.
Speaker 1: Hate that, you know what? I always hated fiance. And
Speaker 1: there was one of my ex husbands who will remain
Speaker 1: nameless loser. That was always like loser fiance my fiance. Bro,
Speaker 1: you get a different word, you know, just in general,
Speaker 1: I hate that word fiance and him. Go ahead, I
Speaker 1: hate him to hate him in where I'm sure that
Speaker 1: I objected. How about that? Laugh? Now? Okay, So can
Speaker 1: we go over some good like go to gifts to
Speaker 1: get people where it could be anybody from you know,
Speaker 1: your dog Walker to your girlfriend, like, let's do a
Speaker 1: checklist right now for people of good go to what

Speaker 1: of my shopping bitch. Well, okay, I'm just gonna give
Speaker 1: it away. Mark and Graham not an ad. They're great,
Speaker 1: the most good, credible site. Okay, because I have been
Speaker 1: very bad in previous years about shopping last minute because

Speaker 1: that I was living in. So I didn't have time
Speaker 1: with insurance. Yeah, exactly. Um to organiz as gifts. So
Speaker 1: market grand is a site that personalizes gifts. And when
Speaker 1: I tell you, like, you can get these personal gifts
Speaker 1: real things. So I work with, as do you a
Speaker 1: ton of men. Men are so hard to shop for.

Speaker 1: to me, what is it? What are these signs for?
Speaker 1: Calm down? I go, it's our podcast, Tony, I go

Speaker 1: all these tech pack things and it has their initials.
Speaker 1: I'll put it on our I g with like the
Speaker 1: link to the market Graham thing. So I got all
Speaker 1: of the tiount Brian. It's too late unless you want
Speaker 1: to go ahead and give me a credit, because, um,
Speaker 1: how about the move. And I got some of the
Speaker 1: initials wrong because I didn't who's checking before they check out.
Speaker 1: There's some guys that I was like, I don't work
Speaker 1: with WC. This is my fault. Anyways, I digress Mark
Speaker 1: and Graham a great site for personalized gifts. They shoot
Speaker 1: them out real quick and they even have like little
Speaker 1: Christmas books that you can put like little kid's name
Speaker 1: is like Sophie's first Christmas and stuff like that. It
Speaker 1: is adorable. I got your husband a scarf with his
Speaker 1: initials on it. I got my golf balls. You can
Speaker 1: get golf balls with initials. Anyways, that's the number one
Speaker 1: site for me for the Christmas and it's has all
Speaker 1: men's all women's kids. It's great. So all right, so
Speaker 1: you need some help dog walker, we'll think about it.
Speaker 1: She's walking a lot on her feet, on her feet,
Speaker 1: spa petticure. A gift card if she's like she like
Speaker 1: shoes or what I was, because I always feel bad
Speaker 1: if I just get like a gift card to something.
Speaker 1: But what you could do is like do like a
Speaker 1: little package and like right with your left hand, like
Speaker 1: it's a card from Howie and say thank you for
Speaker 1: walking may or like a Starbucks, do like a little
Speaker 1: like gift pack, like I always like a gift basket.
Speaker 1: And then if even if it's a gift card, at
Speaker 1: least you just put a little note from him and
Speaker 1: like to gift cards or something. I don't know. You
Speaker 1: know what's also a good gift. There is a cheese company.
Speaker 1: They will remain nameless, but sometimes you can do big
Speaker 1: cheese like I love a cheese like in Chicoutie board,
Speaker 1: and you can send that to their house before Christmas,
Speaker 1: and so if they're having people over, they'll have this
Speaker 1: whole cheese deportment. Yeah, he died, good good good. Another
Speaker 1: one they're the briding case. You guys were wondering trying
Speaker 1: another good one that people have gifted me before. It's
Speaker 1: a company from New Orleans and they give like these
Speaker 1: Happy New Year. It's kind of what they give out
Speaker 1: a New Orleans to celebrate the New Year. And it
Speaker 1: tastes like a massive coffee cake and it comes like
Speaker 1: in a big wreath. It's so insane. Look it up.
Speaker 1: It's like a New Year's celebration thing. It's always a
Speaker 1: fun little dessert for people to another thing. Remember when
Speaker 1: Jared played for a hot second. Well, actually, I'll give
Speaker 1: my girlfriend a shout out. Jackie Quick. She was always
Speaker 1: really good with gifts, like for people drink for the
Speaker 1: Kings and like she would always get like little stemless
Speaker 1: wine glasses. And if you were on the Kings or
Speaker 1: the Rangers and put g kg like go Kings go,
Speaker 1: or you could put like a little saying on him
Speaker 1: or people like if I got her something a cue
Speaker 1: that's on the site that same market. I don't care.
Speaker 1: Ify you're so good about like actually like doing synergy
Speaker 1: of whatever shout outs, but I'm not so those are
Speaker 1: on there as well. Um what else. She's good sometimes
Speaker 1: if you get a nice thing about I'd like a
Speaker 1: glass of alcohol if you got a nice frind bottle
Speaker 1: that's from Bride'smaids, I'll have a glass in the street.
Speaker 1: Um that it is so good. Oh well, that that
Speaker 1: lends lends me that Jesus I can't leads me leads
Speaker 1: me to the idea that maybe you do like, Look,
Speaker 1: I'm really hung up on these gift baskets, like all
Speaker 1: the fun things from Bridesmaids or something like you make
Speaker 1: it like a theme maybe no, like for each person
Speaker 1: that you do it for. I don't know, like a
Speaker 1: fun no. I don't know what I'm saying, but I'm
Speaker 1: just thinking like from movies that we love, like we
Speaker 1: love Christmas vacation, So like I would get like a robe, right,
Speaker 1: I would get a um uh those moose glasses that
Speaker 1: you have for like the egg not I would do
Speaker 1: like a fake stuff squirrel, like a little toy for
Speaker 1: Howie that's like the dog could get the ornaments from
Speaker 1: the movie. Yeah, you could do a theme like baskets
Speaker 1: because that makes it feel like it's personal. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I would love your right you do that that's funny. Um,
Speaker 1: I would love to open this up for because we
Speaker 1: have such great listeners. I feel like they have a
Speaker 1: lot of creative ideas, so send us anyones, you guys think,
Speaker 1: because um hostess gifts those are always tough because I
Speaker 1: don't want to just bring the bottle of wine I
Speaker 1: feel bad, So that'll be good Christmas candle to of
Speaker 1: people because I feel like I can't burn enough of
Speaker 1: that around my house. Oh my gosh, candles. We always
Speaker 1: love candles. Um, you know what I love, and it's
Speaker 1: one of my things I wrote down here because I'm
Speaker 1: a psychopath that even when I wasn't dating Steve, I
Speaker 1: still wear matching sets of pajamas to bed, even if
Speaker 1: I'm by myself and no one will see them. I
Speaker 1: love a matching set. I'm a lunatic that if the
Speaker 1: top doesn't match the bottom, I can't wear it to bed.
Speaker 1: I also spread the fume on myself before I go
Speaker 1: to bed and no one's in the bed with me.
Speaker 1: But like, I just love being fresh, fresh, fresh and
Speaker 1: like cute. And I think to myself, if I had
Speaker 1: a heart attack in this bed tonight and I died,
Speaker 1: I smell delicious and I look like I was put together.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you the same way you were clean underwear,
Speaker 1: you know, or flip it inside out when you're in
Speaker 1: the car if you get in car accident. So matching
Speaker 1: sets of pajamas, everyone loves those socks. Love my cozy
Speaker 1: socks from you and Kelly. I love my matching pjs.
Speaker 1: There my on the road socks and my on the
Speaker 1: road pj's. They are my faves. That doesn't see if
Speaker 1: you need any things a little crazy, I love. But
Speaker 1: it's good to start the conversation. I'm taking notes. It's
Speaker 1: good to start. I forgot my husband liked golf. That
Speaker 1: was a good thing. He told me he needed dress
Speaker 1: clothes because he's always on top. He's always on television,
Speaker 1: so he needs some stuff for TV. Oh that's good. Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Do you start using This is an ad,
Speaker 1: but it's not. We're not getting paid because I'm really
Speaker 1: into it. Have you tried your canopy yet? The humidifier? Um,
Speaker 1: I found it because it was lost in all of
Speaker 1: the house and home delivery boxes. Now here's a question
Speaker 1: for you guys. When, and you specifically, since you're the
Speaker 1: only one here to answer directly, when you get packages
Speaker 1: at your house, how many days is appropriate to leave
Speaker 1: the packages before we need to We just lose our
Speaker 1: mind and we need to start going through them. Because
Speaker 1: I came home and there was like a massive amount
Speaker 1: of boxes because I'm on top of my my my ordering,
Speaker 1: and I was like, last night I got home after work,
Speaker 1: I'm so tired, been up since three thirty because I
Speaker 1: didn't do all the studying I wanted to do the
Speaker 1: night before because I was tired from coming back from
Speaker 1: San Jose's. So I was like, I'm gonna wake up
Speaker 1: the nexture early study. I got home last night and
Speaker 1: Steve was like, Okay, you just get to relax. Watch
Speaker 1: the Sunday night came and I was like, no, I'm
Speaker 1: like tearing open boxes, like doing all these different things whatever,
Speaker 1: because I was like, I can't walk in and have
Speaker 1: all the ship here, and I'm really good about breaking
Speaker 1: down the boxes. This is the number one thing that
Speaker 1: that's not true. There's a couple of things about like
Speaker 1: starting to date a guy. If you if I got
Speaker 1: to tell you to break down the boxes, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be breaking up with you because I do not want
Speaker 1: to have that recycle bin full in one day. Cut
Speaker 1: the tape, get some freaking scissors, cut the tape, break
Speaker 1: down the boxes and keep it moving. I don't think
Speaker 1: I don't do it. And then because there's nothing sexier
Speaker 1: to me than a man whoever your partner is breaking
Speaker 1: down the boxes and putting them neatly in the recycle bin.
Speaker 1: Like there's times I drive on the street and I
Speaker 1: see an organized recycle bin out for garbage day and
Speaker 1: I was like, that's an organized his family in there.
Speaker 1: I'm into it. I feel like Jarrett would just do
Speaker 1: an imperial job. He loves to break a box down.
Speaker 1: Can I tell you something else? This is very odd
Speaker 1: the package thing. I'll answer you when you're married or
Speaker 1: dating Jarrett, you have to get to those right away,
Speaker 1: or in fact, he'll open them for you, even if
Speaker 1: it's this son of a bit. I mean, he's crazy.
Speaker 1: This is this guy loves Christmas so much. He loves
Speaker 1: it so much he turns into a five year old.
Speaker 1: I mean he rips through presents faster than a five
Speaker 1: year old on Christmas Day. He is so excited. He
Speaker 1: two things. He has wrapped a bunch of gifts now
Speaker 1: and he has put him under the tree because he said,
Speaker 1: I don't like to have a tree with nothing under it.
Speaker 1: I don't want to wait till the day before, I
Speaker 1: looks bad. I need stuff under it now. Then the
Speaker 1: other day he's so excited on Black Friday where he's
Speaker 1: ordering everything. I'm finally home from doing k C l A.
Speaker 1: He's like so excited. The boxes are there, he's opening everything.
Speaker 1: I see a shoebox that he ordered and I go,
Speaker 1: what's that? What shoes are those? And he goes, nothing,
Speaker 1: something I ordered for you for Christmas, opening it in
Speaker 1: front of me and I said no, and he goes, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: but you don't know what kind. Well I'm so excited,
Speaker 1: Like what is his deal? You know what? Though? Okay,
Speaker 1: two things I have in common with Jared in that regard. One,
Speaker 1: I get so excited, like the stuff that I ordered
Speaker 1: for you off Mark and Graham. I want to tell
Speaker 1: you everything right now. I want to be like, you're
Speaker 1: gonna love this. You're gonna he the worst. Like I
Speaker 1: get so excited to like share with someone when I
Speaker 1: got them. I won't even wait, Like like if I
Speaker 1: if I got something for whatever, see, I'd be like,
Speaker 1: here you go, here's your Christmas. I got that plunch
Speaker 1: thing right that I got that's why you right away? Wait? Wait, wait,
Speaker 1: here's the whole thing, so Plunge, which I was so into.
Speaker 1: I know, like I wasn't reading up, Let's be honest,
Speaker 1: she was reading up on all the benefits of these
Speaker 1: of cold taps whatever. Okay, So I was able to
Speaker 1: thanks Plunge, get a discount code and take someone up
Speaker 1: because they're not cheap. I got gloves to pay for.
Speaker 1: I mean, it came be fun where my loves in
Speaker 1: the plunge at this point, so totally, so it's not cheap.
Speaker 1: But Steve had been saying that he wanted one of
Speaker 1: these for a long time, so I was like, good news,
Speaker 1: guess what I got you a Plunge because it was
Speaker 1: going to arrive. But now it's like I got it
Speaker 1: for him, so like a month ago before Christmas. Now
Speaker 1: it's like I can't really use it as the Christmas present.
Speaker 1: What am I supposed to say like on Christmas, like
Speaker 1: I got you that thing out there that I also use.
Speaker 1: It's tough. So this is where I get myself into
Speaker 1: a predicament. I know I should just put a big
Speaker 1: bow on top of the Plunge and be like remember
Speaker 1: when I got you this two months ago. Anyways, but
Speaker 1: I'm also with Jared on the wrapping the gifts under
Speaker 1: my tree right now is probably seven boxes that are
Speaker 1: just empty boxes that are wrapped because I'm with him.
Speaker 1: I don't like the look of an empty tree, so
Speaker 1: I just wrapped empty boxes. Oh yeah, what are you?
Speaker 1: What are you looking for? Somebody? I don't know who
Speaker 1: this was. If this was him, I was going to
Speaker 1: tell him to come in here, because he's obsessed with
Speaker 1: this obsessed. I can't have a tree with nothing underneath it.
Speaker 1: And as you know, this is my first tree in
Speaker 1: eight years. I mean I've said that to the point
Speaker 1: of nausea, and everyone's like, we get it. You've been
Speaker 1: unhappy you got a tree, ho ho ho. So so
Speaker 1: I'm just so excited to have like even fake presence
Speaker 1: under the tree this year. It's all so cute. There's
Speaker 1: I'm really into it. But yeah, Christmas tis the season.
Speaker 1: And even if you don't celebrate Christmas, we'd love to
Speaker 1: know some of your other holiday traditions. You know, what
Speaker 1: else we got? What else? We? Uh? What are we
Speaker 1: doing here? Anything else? Oh? We're talking about how there's
Speaker 1: I have no shame when it comes to plugging calm down,
Speaker 1: for example in your game. So as we know you're
Speaker 1: all the sidelines working the game, and sweet Kevin Burkhart,
Speaker 1: who is your play by play announcer who I absolutely
Speaker 1: adore as Greg Olsen and the analyst. Kevin Burkhart said
Speaker 1: Aaron calmed down and throwing it back down for a
Speaker 1: report to follow up on a report you were doing.
Speaker 1: And then my producer got in my ear and he
Speaker 1: was like, all right, we're gonna cut into it and
Speaker 1: do a game break to fill in a second. And
Speaker 1: I had just heard Kevin say that, so I've got
Speaker 1: no shame, so I was like, okay. I was like, well,
Speaker 1: we'll just keep this thing going. Calm down. I will
Speaker 1: use any opportunity that I can to say the two
Speaker 1: words calmed down. And your cuteie cutie that you met
Speaker 1: on the sideline, she was screaming. Julian was so excited.
Speaker 1: She was screaming Aaron, Aaron, And she followed me around
Speaker 1: the bowl as I was trying to like get out
Speaker 1: of the stadium and she's like, can I get a
Speaker 1: picture and somebody that makes that sort of effort. I
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, of course, and she goes, I love
Speaker 1: calm down. So it was very very and she had
Speaker 1: to wear a vest On as well, which even better
Speaker 1: on that gal. But listen, those you guys make it
Speaker 1: worth it. Oh but my god, was this leads us
Speaker 1: into another thing. keV texted me last night. He was
Speaker 1: back a couple rows behind me and we were both
Speaker 1: on our computers and all that, and he said, can
Speaker 1: you believe somebody on Twitter just called me out for
Speaker 1: saying calm down to you on the sidelines? And I
Speaker 1: was like, send it to me right now. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: put him on blasts. I'm like, first of all, people,
Speaker 1: there's never been as you and I have said a
Speaker 1: better phrase than calm down or calm them down, just
Speaker 1: calm down. You and I both got wound up within
Speaker 1: the span of like three to four days about things
Speaker 1: that we posted on Instagram. I got kind of wound
Speaker 1: up last week because I posted the clip where we
Speaker 1: were talking about me going to my yearly cancer visit, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, let me lay it out for you all.
Speaker 1: It sucks. I'm sweating from every pore in my body.
Speaker 1: I have to be in stirrups. It's awful. It's a horrific, frightening,
Speaker 1: anxiety filled appointment once a year. I hate it. I
Speaker 1: treat myself to a sausage biscuit and half growns and
Speaker 1: orange juice from McDonald's right after, because I fucking hate it.
Speaker 1: It's awful. If I want to say my oncologist is
Speaker 1: hot because I need some sort of humor, and by
Speaker 1: the way, he is and my husband knows him and
Speaker 1: he saved my reproductive system, I can't say he's hot.
Speaker 1: I got nail old on social media from trolls just
Speaker 1: saying I can't believe you said that. I called you
Speaker 1: on my way to the Manhattan meat Market like being like,
Speaker 1: I'm freaking out. I'm freaking out. Was this a bad
Speaker 1: thing to do? And you know what you said? It's
Speaker 1: not that serious. Then cut to yesterday the clip that
Speaker 1: Calm Down posted, I will tell you in the food
Speaker 1: court of the Philadelphia Airport. I showed Greg. Greg goes.
Speaker 1: You gotta post this everywhere he goes. This is the
Speaker 1: most hilarious thing I've ever seen. So to back up
Speaker 1: two things, you start off saying my cancer appointment. Everyone
Speaker 1: can go fux themselves if they have anything. Nay, I'm serious,
Speaker 1: I'm serious. I'm very passionate about a few things might
Speaker 1: say for Megan Markle and anyone that wants to come
Speaker 1: at you for going to a cancer appointment and find
Speaker 1: some levity. Okay, you're the first person to talk about
Speaker 1: how much you love your husband. You're the film su
Speaker 1: person to say how amazing he is. So if you
Speaker 1: want to find some fucking joy and not just around
Speaker 1: the holiday season and going to a terrible appointment, everyone
Speaker 1: could kiss my fat ass. Okay, because I get so
Speaker 1: angry about it that anyone's going to give you a
Speaker 1: hard time for finding a little bit of silver lining
Speaker 1: and a terrible experience. By the way, I was complaining
Speaker 1: to you while I was at the Delhi or the
Speaker 1: meat market getting ready to make him dinner, dinner for
Speaker 1: my husband, Okay, it's like Jesus and I hate that,
Speaker 1: no seriously, And then I went off on you about
Speaker 1: the situation where some dad was saying terrible things to me,
Speaker 1: and I was like, you have a daughter like just anyways,
Speaker 1: So I am I'm going to always you know, I
Speaker 1: get it. It's and we don't get it as bad
Speaker 1: as I'm sure some people do. But I don't care.
Speaker 1: Anyone can go ahead and suck it at me, and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead and fire right back because I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you something. The hell that I've been through
Speaker 1: this is nothing, sweetheart, because I am ready to fight
Speaker 1: with my gloves on it. I don't mean the rmes
Speaker 1: ones I am angry, can't. I'll give you my CBS.
Speaker 1: You can use those and you can take your God. Man,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. Who's gonna give you a ship
Speaker 1: for that? I get so angry. So then I calmed
Speaker 1: down and I go block block, block, block, block, buck
Speaker 1: and then just find a little joy again. But I
Speaker 1: do have to go on rants, and as do you.
Speaker 1: But thank god we have this platform, We have a
Speaker 1: great community. We love you guys so much. Thank you
Speaker 1: for being supportive, thank you for sending in questions, and
Speaker 1: simply put calm the fuck down, everyone, It's not that serious.
