Speaker 1: So he's like, well, like, what are you doing, coach,
Speaker 1: Like where's your car? Like we'll walk you that way,
Speaker 1: and he's like, oh, it's just I don't know. I
Speaker 1: was going to walk back, and we're like, the defensive
Speaker 1: coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles is not walking back to
Speaker 1: the hotel right now, Get in the.
Speaker 2: Car with us.
Speaker 3: Calm Down with Aeron and Carissa is a production of iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: Hey Girl, it's over. The season is over, which makes
Speaker 2: me sad and happy and all the emotions.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Calm Down Podcast post super Bowl party.
Speaker 2: What's happening? It's funny.
Speaker 3: I was thinking how you go from a week which
Speaker 3: we're going to dive into about like not wanting to
Speaker 3: talk too much, saving your voice, to today.
Speaker 2: I wanted to.
Speaker 3: Call everyone and help them, I miss them and recap
Speaker 3: all I want to do. It's like when you have
Speaker 3: a fun vacation or like a crazy night out.
Speaker 2: I just want to recap.
Speaker 1: My text chain with the Kickoff Boys started at six
Speaker 1: am with shregs firing away literally like all these text messages,
Speaker 1: which were great, and then I just went and I
Speaker 1: go Mike Vick studying for spring practice. Poor guy's already
Speaker 1: like onto his next coaching assignment, and he's still inundated
Speaker 1: with text.
Speaker 2: I have so much discuss.
Speaker 3: I send one to Brady and Burkhart of and I
Speaker 3: sent it to you. To the footage in the Eagles
Speaker 3: locker room of Landon Dickerson from the O line with
Speaker 3: an ivy and a beer in his hand.
Speaker 1: Incredible, awesome, that was like amazing. That looked like us
Speaker 1: in Tuloom one year, I think is what was going
Speaker 1: on there? All right, we have a lot to discuss,
Speaker 1: so wonderful producer Ryan and Kurt they know that we'll
Speaker 1: go off topic, so we've created a way for it,
Speaker 1: a rundown to keep us organized with all of our thoughts.
Speaker 2: We're going to start with We're gonna start from the beginning.
Speaker 1: So obviously anybody that's listened to this podcast before knows
Speaker 1: how much Aaron and I get excited, like you should
Speaker 1: to cover a super Bowl, and especially because this is
Speaker 1: the last one we're going to be actually broadcasting on
Speaker 1: Fox for the next foze. We kept talking about it
Speaker 1: all week, like, even if you're tired, even if you're whatever,
Speaker 1: who cares, It's the Super Bowl. So let's start with
Speaker 1: choosing outfits.
Speaker 2: Today.
Speaker 1: I saw that video that you posted from the designer
Speaker 1: that made your outfits. I was like, this is probably
Speaker 1: the most incredible thing I've ever seen. So how did
Speaker 1: you choose your outfit? What went into it?
Speaker 2: Go?
Speaker 3: Sorry for the obnoxious videos that I am posting in photos,
Speaker 3: but this is our Oscars, guys, and for anyone that
Speaker 3: has any issues, look away or just fun fallet Yeah.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to look hold on. I'm getting this note
Speaker 2: from the designer.
Speaker 3: Patricia Pepe did both of my outfits my pregame and
Speaker 3: my in game, and I loved it so much. And
Speaker 3: in style did this amazing kind of rundown of everything. Daniella,
Speaker 3: my stylist, what are your intentions? It was the much a.
Speaker 2: Great cruel intention, cruel summer.
Speaker 3: That's kind of what my inspiration for the little Boussie
Speaker 3: bodysuit was.
Speaker 2: It was so beautiful.
Speaker 3: I loved it so much, and I also loved it
Speaker 3: because she just took so much pride.
Speaker 2: In it and wanted to look special in it. It
Speaker 2: felt really fun.
Speaker 3: I will say this, Chrissa, you looked like an absolute knockout.
Speaker 3: You looked amazing in your sequin dress. But the thing
Speaker 3: people don't appreciate, appreciate about Chrissa. She had fucking heels on.
Speaker 2: The whole day. And our day started well.
Speaker 3: We were in here in makeup starting at about eight o'clock
Speaker 3: in the morning. But Carissa had her full blown outfit
Speaker 3: on before I left the hotel, so that was probably like.
Speaker 2: Five Yeah.
Speaker 3: She runs down in her number adorable, like amazing ball
Speaker 3: mod dress.
Speaker 2: I'll let you talk about it.
Speaker 3: But she had her heels on, you guys, she kept
Speaker 3: her heels on the whole day.
Speaker 2: I looked like I.
Speaker 3: Played on the defensive line for the Eagles or the
Speaker 3: offensive line for the Chiefs. I couldn't walk the net.
Speaker 3: I don't know how you do it, Carrie Bradshaw.
Speaker 2: But you did. I love you for that.
Speaker 1: But even in this old age, this old bottom line
Speaker 1: dragging around, I'm like, I don't care how much my
Speaker 1: dogs are barking. At the end of the day, I
Speaker 1: refuse to do the slip into the sandal move even
Speaker 1: if my feet hurts so bad, because I'm just I'm like,
Speaker 1: there is this thing I have with like when you're
Speaker 1: wearing so this dress. Thank you Victoria Feeling and Fox
Speaker 1: for helping me get dressed. And look and feel like
Speaker 1: it was to Aaron's point, our oscars because I'm like you,
Speaker 1: I'm not like a full like sequence kind of goaln naturally,
Speaker 1: like that's not really my vibe.
Speaker 2: But I'm like, it's the super Bowl, and we had
Speaker 2: a couple.
Speaker 1: Of different options, and even that morning, I'm like, Dominique,
Speaker 1: should I do this or should I do that?
Speaker 2: She's like the sequence? So it was blue.
Speaker 1: That's the other thing too, when picking it out, Obviously
Speaker 1: you're not gonna wear red, you're not gonna wear green.
Speaker 1: You want to make sure that you stay neutral in
Speaker 1: terms of the super Bowl people, you know, the teams
Speaker 1: that are playing. So anyways, I did love it. It's
Speaker 1: one of those things. Steve's so funny. He goes, should
Speaker 1: we frame that? And like hang it as like a jersey,
Speaker 1: and I go, no, we're not framing that. So I
Speaker 1: appreciate that compliments. That's very sweet. But I loved playing
Speaker 1: dress up for the day. And my favorite part of
Speaker 1: the whole day, as it is every super Bowl, is
Speaker 1: always just getting to do it with you, starting from
Speaker 1: the hair and makeup room, which was so fun. So
Speaker 1: you're fine, and you guys have to remember this too,
Speaker 1: is that we never get to get ready for a
Speaker 1: game together, right, We always see different places. This is
Speaker 1: our prom, yes, and I never had gotten ready with
Speaker 1: Aaron for my own wedding or anything like together to
Speaker 1: do like you know, the the fun, you know, get
Speaker 1: ready makeup stuff together. So anyways started together in the
Speaker 1: hair and makeup room. Boys are coming in and now
Speaker 1: Glazier Charles getting their hair like trimmed up, you know
Speaker 1: whatever or whatever. Glazier has no hair but like just
Speaker 1: you know, trimmed up and ready to go. Charles, fucking
Speaker 1: what's in God? Love? Only Charles can get away with
Speaker 1: this with Brady because of their relationship. Charles doesn't even
Speaker 1: see Brady because he's like looking at the wall and
Speaker 1: getting his hair trimmed, and he just hears Tom's voice
Speaker 1: and then says, you're drinking enough water, Tom, because Tom's
Speaker 1: always carrying around his water bottle. And Brady just says
Speaker 1: something smart as I'm back, and it was like such
Speaker 1: a fun I'm like, this is going to be a
Speaker 1: great day.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it was a good people day.
Speaker 3: Don't understand is Fox is so wonderful enough they all
Speaker 3: put they put us all in a hotel together and
Speaker 3: it's great. And then we kind of all have this
Speaker 3: meeting area and ours was on the third floor, and
Speaker 3: it's cool. They do meeting rooms and certain teams go
Speaker 3: certain places, like our crew, and then the the you know,
Speaker 3: the pregame show. But everyone ends up in the middle
Speaker 3: where there's a ton of coffee, there's food, and then
Speaker 3: there's a wardrobe room.
Speaker 2: To make up some of our cocktails. I was like, oh,
Speaker 2: I love us.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I don't know if you ate it.
Speaker 3: There was always walking chips in the afternoon and evening,
Speaker 3: which is phenomenal. But something about our hotel with these
Speaker 3: saltine crackers, they were like fried.
Speaker 2: Did you even Tom Brady was eating them? Oh my god?
Speaker 2: With this pimento cheese. Demento cheese is well. I was
Speaker 2: going to talk about pulling it in. It was fantastic,
Speaker 2: the pimento cheese.
Speaker 1: That's fairly funny because Shreg said during during our meeting
Speaker 1: our production meaning we had both the Kickoff crew and
Speaker 1: Stray and all the boys whatever.
Speaker 2: And he's like, Memento cheese, where are we? It was real.
Speaker 3: I didn't think it was delicious though, Yeah, Like saltines
Speaker 3: were like fried and crispy.
Speaker 2: And they were so amazing.
Speaker 3: But so anyways, we have this third floor and everybody,
Speaker 3: you know, it was cool because on Sunday we've all
Speaker 3: been there five six days.
Speaker 2: We're all tired, We've all you know, you don't sleep
Speaker 2: a lot. It was so funny. And went to work
Speaker 2: out today and people were like, do you have to
Speaker 2: go the whole time? Is it? Like? Is it RESTful?
Speaker 3: I'm like, no, you're lucky if you get six hours
Speaker 3: sleep at night, Like that's a good shift you can
Speaker 3: put in. And Sunday morning, the girls are already started
Speaker 3: their makeup. We've you know, those boys are our family,
Speaker 3: so you know, having your putting your extensions in in
Speaker 3: front of a Tom.
Speaker 2: Brady or I had eye patches in Nonsen, Right, it's
Speaker 2: not a big deal.
Speaker 3: And they're all walking in and out, and everyone was
Speaker 3: downstairs already on the third floor. Because I feel like
Speaker 3: we were like caged animals and we were like we're ready,
Speaker 3: like being a player, you know, I.
Speaker 1: Was just going to say, imagine them, Like all week long,
Speaker 1: I kept asking the boys that were lucky enough to
Speaker 1: play in Super Bowls on her crew.
Speaker 2: It was like, let's just play this fucking game. Already
Speaker 2: so but so much fun.
Speaker 1: Part of that process is getting ready together and being
Speaker 1: able to do it.
Speaker 2: But also what's so much.
Speaker 1: Fun is when your best friend's a hypochondriac and she
Speaker 1: is working the Super Bowl in front of one hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty six million viewers, she really doesn't want to
Speaker 1: get sick. So every day leading up to Sunday, I
Speaker 1: had that Oh my god, Oh my god, am I sick? Aaron,
Speaker 1: Thank god you made it through that without getting sick,
Speaker 1: because if you would have, I've been like, felt so
Speaker 1: bad for giving you a hard time. But you took
Speaker 1: every goddamn precaution to make sure that my gal was ready,
Speaker 1: including IVS.
Speaker 2: In the Eagles training room. Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 3: I was really worried about any sort of flu, and
Speaker 3: there were people already going down in New Orleans and
Speaker 3: people on our team were getting sick, and I was.
Speaker 1: Like, oh Jesus, I got sick first day with you
Speaker 1: did so I d something poor Dominie, because I'm getting
Speaker 1: ready for the next Sirianni interview. I had to listen
Speaker 1: to me throw up in the other room because I
Speaker 1: had some kind of food bug.
Speaker 2: Thank god, it was quick in and out, but yeah.
Speaker 3: And we like, you have to also understand these events
Speaker 3: and dinners. And it's not like Chris and I were
Speaker 3: going to a ton of parties, but you.
Speaker 2: Walk in our hotel room.
Speaker 3: Our bar was a scene, so it was like people
Speaker 3: like hey, and in your face. One thing I'd like
Speaker 3: to say is I would like to publicly apologize to
Speaker 3: anyone that I quickly saw at the bar waved and ran.
Speaker 3: It wasn't you. It wasn't anything about you. I just
Speaker 3: wasn't breathing in anything. I felt like I was back
Speaker 3: to ten feet apart, like I.
Speaker 2: Was just very worry. Yeah, you don't want to be
Speaker 2: sick for the Super Bowl. No.
Speaker 3: I started by Wednesday getting a little tiny bit tickle
Speaker 3: in my throat. So it was really concerning to myself
Speaker 3: and Kevin Burkhardt. We were animals. I was four zincs
Speaker 3: a day. I was all these supplements, and you know,
Speaker 3: by Thursday, I was pretty run down, and like somebody
Speaker 3: else on our crew was six and I was like shit.
Speaker 2: And I looked at somebody with.
Speaker 3: The Eagles and I was like, I think I'm going
Speaker 3: to get sick, and they said, let's go hook me
Speaker 3: up to an IV and I was sitting there like
Speaker 3: I was freaking land in Dickerson on an IV trying
Speaker 3: to protect Jalen herds.
Speaker 2: I was trying to protect myself. It was wild Saturday night.
Speaker 3: I did barely slept because I was swallowing all this
Speaker 3: crap in my throat.
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm going down. I'm going down.
Speaker 3: I was really ridiculous, even so much so you don't
Speaker 3: know this for my skin.
Speaker 2: Now I'm starting to break out.
Speaker 3: I had acne pills ready, I had creams ready. I
Speaker 3: brought lancets like if I had a white head, and
Speaker 3: which I did on Saturday night. You didn't tell me
Speaker 3: how right here, but I got to see that. I
Speaker 3: also had a medic I would let you have someone.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, if you think I want you to
Speaker 1: embarrass me in front of all of our friends to
Speaker 1: get that thing.
Speaker 3: I had a medspa ready and waiting if I got
Speaker 3: any cistic acne for a quarterzone shot.
Speaker 2: I was an animal super Bowl week animal.
Speaker 1: Well, it all worked out, and all the precautions were
Speaker 1: important because you were in front of one hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty six million people. Congratulations to Fox, by the way,
Speaker 1: ye wait, super Bowl it turned out. Oh oh up,
Speaker 1: took some unaccounted viewershot came somebody redo the graphic. I'm excited,
Speaker 1: but that's awesome. It is, I have to say. And
Speaker 1: not just because they you know, we work for them.
Speaker 1: Fox does an un frickin believable ol Michaels called me yesterday,
Speaker 1: my sweet Al Michaels, and just said, what an incredible
Speaker 1: job Fox does with these big events, Like no one
Speaker 1: can I say this respectfully and again maybe bias, whatever,
Speaker 1: they just do it.
Speaker 2: Just like Bourbon Street that scene out there.
Speaker 1: Then we had the scene in front of you know
Speaker 1: where our set was outside the super Dome, just like
Speaker 1: it's incredible and I don't even think that I mean,
Speaker 1: we can't even understand the magnitude of the planning, Kira,
Speaker 1: just like all these people that do so much for security,
Speaker 1: we charity around New Orleans. It is wild to think
Speaker 1: about how much goes into a Super Bowl. So shout
Speaker 1: out to Fox, not just because again we work for them.
Speaker 1: I would as a viewer, I would just sit back
Speaker 1: and watch and be like, that is a kick ass production.
Speaker 2: And it started for us.
Speaker 1: Earlier in the week when we found out that we
Speaker 1: were going to be a part of something that unfortunately
Speaker 1: was a tribute because of the horrific incident on New
Speaker 1: Year's Eve and New Year's Day in New Orleans and
Speaker 1: the tragedy that took place there. But Fox of course
Speaker 1: wanting to honor those victims and also everybody with the
Speaker 1: fires in California and in the Carolinas and Philadelphia and DC,
Speaker 1: and just shout out to our boss, Brad Zeger and
Speaker 1: all of sort of the brains behind that idea with
Speaker 1: Lady Gaga on Bourbon Street. So fill in the details
Speaker 1: because it was really incredible.
Speaker 2: On what would it have?
Speaker 3: We don't want to give away too much because I
Speaker 3: hope that Brad ends up giving an interview about how
Speaker 3: he was able to put this whole thing together. Kind
Speaker 3: of what we were all told as a as a group,
Speaker 3: all the talent was You're being picked up at the
Speaker 3: lobby at three point fifteen in the morning on Thursday.
Speaker 3: Everybody's like, huh huh. They provide us like all shirts
Speaker 3: and stuff to wear for either you know, Nola Strong,
Speaker 3: Chris and I wore LAFD proudly hats. It was amazing,
Speaker 3: But I don't think we really understood what we were
Speaker 3: in for until we all met downstairs and I mean
Speaker 3: it's all of us, eighty one year old, Jimmy Johnson,
Speaker 3: Jerry Bradshaw, all of us. We are all down there
Speaker 3: ready to go. They take us down to Bourbon Street.
Speaker 3: They had clothes shut down Bourbon Streets, one of the
Speaker 3: one of the streets, right, because that was really the timing.
Speaker 3: They could do it from four am. We were told
Speaker 3: to six am. And it was unbelievable.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Lady Gaga seeing her, you know, obviously we've
Speaker 1: always all been a fan, just whether it's you know,
Speaker 1: her as her own super I mean the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: performance that she had in Houston that year was unbelieved,
Speaker 1: but a huge Lady Gaga fan. But seeing her in
Speaker 1: the way that she worked up close and personal and
Speaker 1: her how what a perfectionist she is and that she
Speaker 1: wanted to do this and to pay tribute to everybody
Speaker 1: affected by all those horrific events over the past few months.
Speaker 2: It was incredible to watch.
Speaker 1: I hope you guys got a chance to see it,
Speaker 1: because it was really really special in a moment that
Speaker 1: I know I'll never forget watching and being a part
Speaker 1: of something like that, and being surrounded by first responders
Speaker 1: and nurses and doctors, you know, firefighters, policeman, all these
Speaker 1: incredible individual individuals that do so much in those moments
Speaker 1: of complete crisis and chaos. So beautiful tribute there, and
Speaker 1: she rushed it. Yeah, it was so good.
Speaker 3: It was really really good, and they played that in
Speaker 3: the stadium before the game, which was really exciting. I've
Speaker 3: come home and watched it a few times. I even
Speaker 3: showed Mackie Doodle doooo. It was fun and it's crazy.
Speaker 3: I was explaining it to Jared when we're standing there
Speaker 3: around the piano. It's not like they have speakers all
Speaker 3: around so we can hear her, but it's not like
Speaker 3: we can really hear with all the music and the singers,
Speaker 3: and we couldn't hear and see that until obviously we
Speaker 3: saw the final finished product, and it was so fun.
Speaker 3: Chris and I were standing together and we were swaying
Speaker 3: and the part she was hitting it and Charles was
Speaker 3: right with us.
Speaker 2: We were like, whoa awesome.
Speaker 1: And jewels and it was like we were just it
Speaker 1: was a really really cool moment in the wake of
Speaker 1: something so horrific. But the messaging, of course that Stray
Speaker 1: and Tom delivered so beautifully that that Brad was the
Speaker 1: director of Was That Come Together in the moments of crisis,
Speaker 1: And I cannot overstate this sports does that like nothing else.
Speaker 2: We've seen it. After nine to eleven, we've seen it
Speaker 2: when in.
Speaker 1: The worst of tragedies that people unite around sports. So
Speaker 1: it's one of the many reasons that we love it.
Speaker 1: So awesome stuff and that Bradzeger, well, well well done.
Speaker 1: So again, Aaron and I are going into full details
Speaker 1: just because I think people sometimes are curious. I want
Speaker 1: to pull back the curtain on the week that was.
Speaker 1: So the week also included some of our favorite things
Speaker 1: to do, which is sit down with these athletes and coaches,
Speaker 1: and they're so generous to give us time, especially during
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl week like that. So you got to
Speaker 1: sit down with Jalen Hurts. The interview was awesome. I
Speaker 1: love that moment when he turned the question back on you.
Speaker 1: I'll let you explain that for anyone that didn't get
Speaker 1: to see it, But really cool moment with him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess I had.
Speaker 3: Heard about it before, but his screensaver was and still
Speaker 3: up until they won the Super Bowl, was him walking
Speaker 3: off on Super Bowl fifty seven and the confetti falling
Speaker 3: down and redding gold and somebody on his team had
Speaker 3: taken a picture, not of that deliberately, but just of
Speaker 3: something and you saw him holding his phone. So then
Speaker 3: it got out. He spoke openly about it, and it,
Speaker 3: you know, drove him. And yeah, it was kind of
Speaker 3: fun because Jalen's a guy that you know, he's heard
Speaker 3: about it in Philly, like can he do it?
Speaker 2: You know, will he be able to pull it off?
Speaker 3: He's had eight million offensive coordinators and so I think
Speaker 3: I had just said to him something like, if you
Speaker 3: win this, do you think the critics will stop?
Speaker 2: And he goes, do you think they'll stop? And Oh,
Speaker 2: I like it? Uh huh. Now, you know, work's pretty straight,
Speaker 2: jam straight. So I liked that. Yeah, that moment.
Speaker 1: And I also the Tom Brady not Tom Brady, Michael
Speaker 1: Jordan and Jeter texts.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was really cool. That was really cool.
Speaker 3: He had said after the NFC Championship he got two techs,
Speaker 3: one from MJ and one from Derek Jeter, And you know,
Speaker 3: we had heard from Derek Jeter, which was a pretty
Speaker 3: cool moment for these two gals. Friend of the show,
Speaker 3: Derek Jeter, the captain, our co worker, but yeah, Derek
Speaker 3: had just said I I told him, look, you know
Speaker 3: you're not done yet, you have one more left, go
Speaker 3: finish it.
Speaker 2: And that was pretty cool. I love the way it
Speaker 2: turned out.
Speaker 1: He is.
Speaker 2: He is a very honest guy, very soft spoken.
Speaker 3: To move it forward and then talk you can talk
Speaker 3: about Nick Sirianni standing there postgame interview. We had to
Speaker 3: wait for Nick Sirianni to do his postgame with Tom Rinaldi.
Speaker 3: And as we're standing there, the confetti was coming down
Speaker 3: and I was just like, I smacked him a few
Speaker 3: times on his chest pad because I was like, look
Speaker 3: at this, look at this.
Speaker 1: And then I was like, look at this. He's just
Speaker 1: taken it in. It was pretty cool, really really cool.
Speaker 1: I'd love to see the jacks. I always love this word,
Speaker 1: so I want to say it jex'supposition of like that
Speaker 1: emotion that you lose to the Kansas City Chiefs, that
Speaker 1: confetti's falling, that's your motivation, and now you're standing there
Speaker 1: and it's your confetti and they're walking off the field.
Speaker 1: It's just that's always the hard part. We talked about
Speaker 1: it earlier in the week when people were like, oh,
Speaker 1: who you want to pick and it's like I don't
Speaker 1: want anyone to lose, Like watching those Kansas City Chiefs
Speaker 1: walk off the field, like my heart hurt for them
Speaker 1: because I love you, know you as well. We had
Speaker 1: that moment with Chris Jones before the game. It came
Speaker 1: up and gave us a big hug. When you get
Speaker 1: when you are allowed to, you know, interview these guys
Speaker 1: and cover these guys and become friends and get close
Speaker 1: with them, just you don't want anyone to lose. So
Speaker 1: there's such that high and low of emotions. But that's always,
Speaker 1: you know, the worst in sports. But so Nick Sirianni,
Speaker 1: same storyline there has experienced both now and so congratulations
Speaker 1: coach to you, because there's a lot of noise around
Speaker 1: Nick Nick Sirianni, especially in a sports town like Philadelphia,
Speaker 1: that is, after their skid last year and losing those
Speaker 1: games at the end of the year and then they
Speaker 1: start the season two and two, there was a lot
Speaker 1: of chatta rangas we like to say, around fired Nick
Speaker 1: Sirianni and this whole thing. And now you've got a
Speaker 1: coach that is the only Eagles coach that's ever taken
Speaker 1: an Eagles team to two Super Bowls. And he's done
Speaker 1: it in his first four years, and there's still conversation
Speaker 1: of like, oh yeah, but it's this guy and this
Speaker 1: is this guy that does it, and it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: he's the head coach.
Speaker 2: Of your football team.
Speaker 1: So AJ Brown when we interviewed him postgame, had some
Speaker 1: great comments about him, and so did Saquan just the
Speaker 1: endorsement of their head coach.
Speaker 2: So sitting down with him prior.
Speaker 1: To the Super Bowl, it was cool to see because
Speaker 1: we had sat down two years ago in Arizona, and you.
Speaker 2: Could tell this was a different guy.
Speaker 1: Even if it was only two years removed, sitting in
Speaker 1: front of me that had a different level confidence. You know.
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, like I've been here before and
Speaker 1: now I wanted this result's got to be different and
Speaker 1: I'm ready. And he said in the last line of
Speaker 1: the interview that he was hungry before and now he
Speaker 1: was starving. So it's happy for him in that organization
Speaker 1: to come out victorious.
Speaker 2: So appreciate that. What else made we also have? Yeah
Speaker 2: we got the work element of Super Bowl week, but
Speaker 2: we also get to do behind the scenes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I this was a super Bowl I had in
Speaker 3: the past, had a good time and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: I think it's because am older bo super charged up
Speaker 3: about getting sick. I just was really good about Hey,
Speaker 3: I want it to be low key. I want to
Speaker 3: just be chill. You and I went to a dinner
Speaker 3: one night. We went to Chris Stapleton. That was really fun.
Speaker 3: But it wasn't like a lot of hooting and hollering
Speaker 3: for me. You know, it was pretty tame.
Speaker 2: It was a good It was a small, smaller venue,
Speaker 2: but we love him. He was great. I also too,
Speaker 2: I think that my.
Speaker 1: Maturity, I justized the opportunities don't come around that often
Speaker 1: to be able to cover a super Bowl that, like
Speaker 1: the last thing I wanted to do is because anyone
Speaker 1: that knows me knows I like to have fun. But
Speaker 1: now I'm learning to have fun responsibly where it's like
Speaker 1: I don't need to be at every part. By the way,
Speaker 1: like I'm there to wearing a cocktail dress. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: good a cocktail dress for dinner tonight night. I'm there
Speaker 1: to have I'm there to work, have fun. I love
Speaker 1: seeing my boys, even from Amazon, some of those guys
Speaker 1: are there. That's the thing too about super Bowl is
Speaker 1: like the convergence of everyone and you have to remember,
Speaker 1: Aaron and I have been in this industry twenty plus
Speaker 1: years almost, and so it's like, you know people this well.
Speaker 2: Chris Berman, you guys.
Speaker 1: I grew up watching Chris Berman and sitting on the
Speaker 1: couch with my dad on Sundays. And I was like, I
Speaker 1: want to do that. And just he looked at both
Speaker 1: of us and he's like, I'm really proud of you, guys.
Speaker 1: And it's just anyways, nut to make this about us,
Speaker 1: Guys's we're just going.
Speaker 2: To make this all about us.
Speaker 1: Yes exactly, it was our super Bowl, but it was,
Speaker 1: and so I just think it's that convergence of all
Speaker 1: of those people that you've worked with.
Speaker 2: Along the way or whatever. Anyways, it was awesome.
Speaker 1: But I always point out my favorite part of Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: and I've said it before on here, is getting to
Speaker 1: do this job alongside not always actually in person alongside you,
Speaker 1: but in parallel, and then to stand on the sidelines
Speaker 1: with you before you're about to do your first hit.
Speaker 2: It makes me tear up. It does a big deal.
Speaker 1: It does, and I just I am never it's never
Speaker 1: ever lost on me that we get to do this
Speaker 1: job just as individuals. But then when we get to
Speaker 1: do it together and I get to watch you on
Speaker 1: the world's biggest stage and you just shine bright. I
Speaker 1: just like a diamond. I just I'm always grateful for that,
Speaker 1: and I love you. And whoever got we got to
Speaker 1: post the picture, whoever took that picture of me hugging
Speaker 1: you after and cool to act us in it. I
Speaker 1: appreciate that. I yelled to see if I say, did
Speaker 1: you get Aaron and I on the sidelence? He goes, no,
Speaker 1: I go, God, damn it. You make you always. You
Speaker 1: always capture great moments. You missed this one. And it
Speaker 1: wasn't just you know, for I knew that we had
Speaker 1: those memories, but it's for me to put in a
Speaker 1: frame and like when we're old and gray and we
Speaker 1: aren't doing this anymore, to look back because it's really special.
Speaker 2: So I love you and it is really special. Oh
Speaker 2: my god.
Speaker 3: I we my producers really smart and creative this year.
Speaker 3: And he just said, hey, how about when the teams
Speaker 3: are out of the tunnel, let's have you with Patrick,
Speaker 3: Let's have Tom Rinaldi with Saquan.
Speaker 2: So I was like, okay, And I.
Speaker 3: Was just waiting, waiting, and they're doing the coming on
Speaker 3: the Kansas City Chiefs, and I'm like, holy fuck, Like,
Speaker 3: I've interviewed guys eight thousand times. I've talked to him
Speaker 3: eight thousand times. But then you're thinking of everybody that's
Speaker 3: standing there watching this, and you're just like, God, don't
Speaker 3: screw this up now. I felt like this year I
Speaker 3: took a different tone. Normally, I'm like, get so excited.
Speaker 3: I felt like it was a lot more chill. It
Speaker 3: was like Patrick this moment and even I saw somebody quote,
Speaker 3: fuck the internet trolls.
Speaker 2: I saw some quote you could tell Aaron and.
Speaker 3: Or Jalen Hurts interview was disappointed that Kansas City didn't win.
Speaker 3: I'm disappointed both teams didn't win. I actually was trying
Speaker 3: to slow down, beat chill.
Speaker 2: Instead of being like Hiylen.
Speaker 3: Bit, I was trying to be calm and like, because
Speaker 3: he's fucking calugh, he's not crazy and raw raw. So
Speaker 3: I was like, Jalen, we talked about that, you know,
Speaker 3: because you don't want the high pitched boy.
Speaker 1: It's whatever you do, and you're damned if you don't.
Speaker 1: If you show that you're excited, then you're too excited.
Speaker 1: If you aren't excited enough, and by the way. That's
Speaker 1: how I empathize with these athletes on that. It's like,
Speaker 1: you can't fucking win for nothing. That's like half the criticism. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: go ahead, Oh you're good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I cut you off. I am.
Speaker 3: I feel bad for these athletes. Damned if you do,
Speaker 3: damned if you don't. I feel bad for the most famous,
Speaker 3: amazing woman in the world who fucking gets booed at
Speaker 3: this super Bowl.
Speaker 2: Get out of here. I mean, I sit here. Well,
Speaker 2: she's just like I love I love her.
Speaker 1: She holds these I mean, I'll probably she holds the
Speaker 1: record in every stadium, the attendance record in the Superdome
Speaker 1: as an in individual, as one individual standing up on
Speaker 1: that stage, rocking the world, and.
Speaker 2: You're gonna be look I get it, look at and.
Speaker 1: I say this, by the way, I love I love
Speaker 1: the fandom, like of like the Eagles are proud fans,
Speaker 1: so it's like they are going to hate her on
Speaker 1: that day even because you're rooting for your team.
Speaker 2: I mean, I can't imagine.
Speaker 1: Like I That's what I love so much about Kylie
Speaker 1: is like she's like, look, it's my brother in law,
Speaker 1: but like this is my team and I'm going to
Speaker 1: always root for his success, but not when they're playing
Speaker 1: the Eagles. And it's like I and Jason put it
Speaker 1: so eloquently, I mean, imagine that feeling.
Speaker 2: He then said, I now know how my parents feel.
Speaker 1: You know, where it's like you want this, but then
Speaker 1: you're also like I want that too, and when it's
Speaker 1: your family, it's hard. But yeah, Taylor, obviously we all
Speaker 1: know our Aaron and I's affinity for her, but she
Speaker 1: does she handles everything so well, and so does Travis.
Speaker 1: How many you know to answer all? I even said
Speaker 1: this to Julian uh and to Gronk. Actually we were
Speaker 1: sitting there was Travis was doing some posts, like doing
Speaker 1: press early on in the week, and I looked at
Speaker 1: those boys and I was like, damn, so he handles
Speaker 1: this still beating.
Speaker 2: Uh huh. He handles this so well.
Speaker 1: Like that is not I mean imagine like you and
Speaker 1: I like, if people kept asking us over and over
Speaker 1: the same question, we'd be like, Okay, we're good here again,
Speaker 1: just leave her alone, right, So they both handled with
Speaker 1: so much grace, and I just, uh, yeah, I didn't
Speaker 1: want anyone to lose.
Speaker 2: But that didn't either. The game that we cover has
Speaker 2: a loser and a shot.
Speaker 3: That they the shot that they have of him coming
Speaker 3: out of the locker room and now you know he
Speaker 3: was going up to the suite.
Speaker 2: I didn't.
Speaker 3: I was actually coming off the field and he was
Speaker 3: just walking out and I was kind of like walking
Speaker 3: and I was like fuck it, and I just turned
Speaker 3: around and I walked up to him because I.
Speaker 2: Was like, I don't want to bug him, but I
Speaker 2: was like, no, he's like, that's our friend and this
Speaker 2: really sucks.
Speaker 3: And I just walked up to him and he stopped
Speaker 3: and gave him big hag and I was just like,
Speaker 3: I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2: I love you. I'm so sorry. Like they're just they're
Speaker 2: humans too. This justin you know, and oh man.
Speaker 1: And then on the other side of that too, it's
Speaker 1: said I was so excited to have Saquon Barkley.
Speaker 2: He was we just had come on. We weren't even
Speaker 2: on the air yet.
Speaker 1: We're here in our ear you know, we're start We're
Speaker 1: coming on the air for the postgame show in thirty seconds,
Speaker 1: and so you're like, Okay, we're gonna get guys big
Speaker 1: picture thoughts reaction to this game. And then they're like,
Speaker 1: we're getting Saquon We're getting Saquon, and so I'm like great,
Speaker 1: They're like, well, come in with an aerial shot.
Speaker 2: At the Superdome. I go, no, just give a straight
Speaker 2: shot on him. That's all I care about.
Speaker 1: Like he's surrounded by all this press and he was
Speaker 1: walking with the trophy and his family and then he
Speaker 1: walks upon to set and I was so happy for
Speaker 1: him that this is a guy.
Speaker 2: Again.
Speaker 1: We know all the storyline lines with Saquon, but you know,
Speaker 1: it's just that moment and to think about where he
Speaker 1: was a year ago to where he is now and
Speaker 1: I just couldn't be happy for him. And he went
Speaker 1: on his birthday, so we sang Happy Birthday to him
Speaker 1: and his fiance. He had his son and his daughter
Speaker 1: and then his fiance Anna there and I just was
Speaker 1: so happy for him. He is just a guy that
Speaker 1: has so much grace and gratitude. And it was really cute.
Speaker 1: He like, as I was like introducing him, I hett
Speaker 1: this moment and he like grabbed Charles shoulder and he
Speaker 1: was like my god. It was like so he was
Speaker 1: just so excited, so happy for him. Aj Brown, all
Speaker 1: those guys, all those guys, they are good, good dudes.
Speaker 2: And I love the d line. I love that offensive
Speaker 2: and we talk about defense. Okay, shits so crazy.
Speaker 1: Moment we are walking out of the stadium and so
Speaker 1: it's after postgame, so it's like, you know, the stadium's
Speaker 1: got cleared out, but like it's you know, starting to
Speaker 1: thin out.
Speaker 2: Most the crowd's left. Some people are here.
Speaker 1: Some people are there in terms of players, and they're
Speaker 1: you know, locker room celebration all that kind of stuff,
Speaker 1: and Shregs goes coach and Vic Fangio turns around. For
Speaker 1: anyone that doesn't know, Fan Joe is the defensive coordinator
Speaker 1: for the Philadelphia Eagles. And that performance and that game
Speaker 1: plan was from the beginning, like just those guys came,
Speaker 1: they came. That front, all three phases of that defense
Speaker 1: was next level.
Speaker 3: Some of those hits Patrick took, I don't know how
Speaker 3: he got back up, the one with Jalen Carter, the
Speaker 3: one right away where he was sacked on his shoulder,
Speaker 3: it was like, holy shit, I.
Speaker 2: Know, it was just a whole nother level.
Speaker 1: And you know those guys afterwards, Patrick mahomes showing such
Speaker 1: grace and he's just such a class act, answering every question,
Speaker 1: sitting at the podium for twelve minutes, like it just yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just I can only imagine how it feels in
Speaker 1: that moment to have grace and doing it. Anyways, So
Speaker 1: Vic Fangio's walking out of the stadium and here's a
Speaker 1: guy his first coaching position was back in you know,
Speaker 1: mid eighties, and now it's twenty twenty five and he
Speaker 1: wins his first Super Bowl and Shreg's is so good about,
Speaker 1: you know, pointing that out.
Speaker 2: He's right there, and so he's like, well, like, what
Speaker 2: are you doing, coach? Like where's your car?
Speaker 1: Like, we'll walk you that way, and he's like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's just I was going to walk back, and we're like,
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles is not walking
Speaker 1: back to the hotel right now. Get in the car
Speaker 1: with us. So it was a really cool moment he's had.
Speaker 1: In the front seat, There's Charles Woodson, Julian Edelman, Schreger
Speaker 1: and I are in the back, and I'm like, it's
Speaker 1: just those moments where you realize, like, our job's really
Speaker 1: fucking cool. And so we were just asking him different
Speaker 1: questions and I was like, you know, how excited are
Speaker 1: you like right now?
Speaker 2: And he's like, this is.
Speaker 1: So cool, and like just for him to have that
Speaker 1: moment too, because you know, that's a long journey for
Speaker 1: someone and with his resume to finally get one as well.
Speaker 2: So shout out to you, coach.
Speaker 1: And then I mentioned your name, of course, because you've
Speaker 1: talked with such affinity about him, and I know you
Speaker 1: guys are close, and so I said, my girlfriend, Aaron
Speaker 1: just adores you, and his face lit up and he
Speaker 1: was all excited, and I just I'd love for you
Speaker 1: to speak about how much he's like meant to you
Speaker 1: and your guys' relationship, because he was I was the
Speaker 1: first time I'd met him.
Speaker 2: That's crazy.
Speaker 3: No, I got to know him when he was the
Speaker 3: defensive coordinator for San Francisco and those were my first
Speaker 3: couple of years with Fox, So I don't know how
Speaker 3: we ended up striking up a relationship.
Speaker 2: He was just always so nice to me, and I just.
Speaker 3: Kind of loved he was an older coach and people
Speaker 3: kind of say he's a little like, you know, Grougy's
Speaker 3: Philly times, he's Philly. He's adorable, and I just loved it.
Speaker 3: And I would always talk to him and I'd be like,
Speaker 3: get over here and he's great. So he would start
Speaker 3: texting me like at the end of this season or
Speaker 3: if he saw commercial I was in, and he just
Speaker 3: would always say the nicest thing. So in our production
Speaker 3: meeting with Vic Fangio this week, Patrick Mahomes was eight
Speaker 3: and oh versus a Vic Fangio defense and we were
Speaker 3: kind of just talking to him about it and it
Speaker 3: was really really special.
Speaker 2: He said to us, you know, I hope it works out.
Speaker 3: You never know, because Patrick is obviously the wildcard there,
Speaker 3: but he said, kind of have like this feeling. He goes,
Speaker 3: I've gotten a lot of text messages this week, and
Speaker 3: he goes, it feels like a lot of people are
Speaker 3: rooting for.
Speaker 2: Me, and he got a little teary. It was very
Speaker 2: very sweet.
Speaker 3: But he went up Tom Brady his first game in
Speaker 3: the NFL leading. You know, obviously New England's offense was
Speaker 3: against Vic Fangio, and Vic Fangio was talking about breaking.
Speaker 2: Down the film of him.
Speaker 3: Tom had obviously taken over for Drew Blatsoe, and Vic
Speaker 3: said he was looking at the film of Tom Brady
Speaker 3: and was like, this guy's insane. He's going to have
Speaker 3: an unreal career. And he was like I'm the one.
Speaker 2: That I'm a scout, I'm the one respond I love
Speaker 2: you guys were in the car with him. That's so special.
Speaker 3: It's another thing when you sit there and you look
Speaker 3: at these guys and they are superheroes, but they also
Speaker 3: are human and it's so cool for us to get
Speaker 3: to know that side. I'm grateful for those relationships.
Speaker 1: And I was thinking about this today because these are
Speaker 1: the things that we think about because we love this
Speaker 1: game so much and we love our job. Is that
Speaker 1: every body, let's anybody you know, there's to talk about.
Speaker 1: Is this Travis's last game? All of these different things,
Speaker 1: whoever's last game? This is is that it's always going
Speaker 1: You're always going to end your last game with a loss,
Speaker 1: unless you walk out on top and like with a
Speaker 1: super Bowl victory, and that feeling of like, you know,
Speaker 1: some guys you know, play their whole career and they
Speaker 1: never even get there, or you you know, if you're
Speaker 1: a Buffalo Bills fan, you go there four straight years
Speaker 1: and you lose every single time, or if you're you know,
Speaker 1: Dan Marino, you never win a Super Bowl. And Charles
Speaker 1: Woodson told this great story in the car when we
Speaker 1: were driving back with Vic Vangio. He said, Coach, I
Speaker 1: used to have this reoccurring dream that I was outside
Speaker 1: a club and there were two lines, and one was
Speaker 1: if you had a super Bowl ring, you got right
Speaker 1: in through that line, and the other one was.
Speaker 2: If you didn't.
Speaker 1: And I'd have this reoccurring nightmare over and over again.
Speaker 1: And then I won the ring. I won the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl and I got a ring, and I never had
Speaker 1: that dream again. And it's just a you know, for
Speaker 1: a player or for a coach, that's like Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame caliber. It's like not all Hall of Famers have rings,
Speaker 1: and so it's a really special elite club. So congratulations
Speaker 1: to the Philadelphia Eagles. I my heart hurts for the
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs because I know you guys were going
Speaker 1: for history. But it's it's that moment where you just
Speaker 1: you know, get to applaud the winner and the losers
Speaker 1: you go, hey, pick yourself back up and try to
Speaker 1: do it again. What the Kansas City Chiefs have done
Speaker 1: the last few years is incredible and that it's in
Speaker 1: and of itself should be applauded as well. So grateful
Speaker 1: to cover another Super Bowl with you, gal, and football.
Speaker 3: Is King one hundred and twenty seven milraziers when it
Speaker 3: was really a blowout. It just says so much about
Speaker 3: our sport and how much we love it. Shout out
Speaker 3: to Roger Goodell. We got to spend some time with
Speaker 3: him over the week as well. We have such a
Speaker 3: great time.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 3: I mean, our bosses are like, all right, let's go,
Speaker 3: come on, Roger, get out here.
Speaker 2: And Jane wants to tell him Jane. I love Jane Goodell.
Speaker 2: Jane Goodell and she is a diehard Bears fan. Sweet.
Speaker 1: She showed up with a Walter Payton jersey on the
Speaker 1: sideline and representing Walter Payton. I saw Walter Payton's children
Speaker 1: before the game. They're always so wonderful. I just, yeah,
Speaker 1: the league is great, the league. The league is literally
Speaker 1: in good hands with Roger at the helm and the
Speaker 1: players that we get to cover. I just I can't
Speaker 1: say enough about it. I just love our fricking job
Speaker 1: so much.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, speaking of like Plus Ones, Jane
Speaker 3: Goodell and you know.

Speaker 2: doing this week?
Speaker 1: But yes, shout out to our plus ones because and
Speaker 1: why we're calling them plus ones is because we will
Speaker 1: make the announcement here on the Calm Down podcast that
Speaker 1: our significant others have decided that they're going to start
Speaker 1: a podcast. It'll never come to fruition, but the concept
Speaker 1: is hysterical, and the concept is that they are our

Speaker 1: other times in life where we are there plus ones
Speaker 1: and we're happy to do it. We're happy to write

Speaker 3: Seasons bar, and I'm like, not sitting on a light,
Speaker 3: God forbid.

Speaker 3: I had thirty minutes before i'd be downstairs, sitting on
Speaker 3: the bathroom floor going over my notes.
Speaker 2: I can't be at the desk because he's sleeping, I thought.
Speaker 1: I said to Steve, I go, do you mind if
Speaker 1: I open these blinds. I can't see a goddamn thing
Speaker 1: in here. I'm tripping over the shoes that he barely
Speaker 1: got off from the night before because they came in
Speaker 1: at three o'clock.
Speaker 2: What is in my eye?
Speaker 1: No, that is so funny, but you know what, look
Speaker 1: it is what it is good for them. You know,
Speaker 1: they put up with a lot of shit with us
Speaker 1: throughout the year. In fact, I came home today after
Speaker 1: I got picked up the dogs from the dog roomer
Speaker 1: because I needed them to smell all good and fluffy,
Speaker 1: and I get a note on my front door, a
Speaker 1: post it note that says shhh, Tommy's season starts today,
Speaker 1: basically meaning if I walk in here, he was on
Speaker 1: a call and I needed to be quiet.
Speaker 2: Tommy.

Speaker 1: what you're right, Tommy, So filling you guys in. For
Speaker 1: those of you that don't know, Steve's nickname is Tommy
Speaker 1: and mine's Linda. So speaking of the branch, I can't
Speaker 1: wait to get there and see all those animals. Really
Speaker 1: excited for the off season, but just also miss the
Speaker 1: season already, the season.
Speaker 2: That was everyone already.
Speaker 3: Now we want to talk to everyone because I'm not
Speaker 3: worried about getting sick now and now it's already everyone. Yeah,
Speaker 3: And I just have to say one thing, And this
Speaker 3: is also what I am going on and on about Fox,
Speaker 3: and I swear, I mean it's not just because my contract's.
Speaker 2: Up, but I love Fox so much because.
Speaker 1: My brother and my dad came to the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: and I Fox's family to me, and so my own
Speaker 1: family like sharing in those moments. It was so fun,
Speaker 1: and Fox just makes them feel so welcome and make
Speaker 1: sure they're included in.
Speaker 2: The events and everything.
Speaker 1: So I just would be remiss if I didn't mention
Speaker 1: how wonderful my extended work family is to my own family.
Speaker 1: And Marshawn Lynch, who I love so much, flings open
Speaker 1: the green room doors were out on our set outside
Speaker 1: the super Dome and Marshall Lynch, remember, does not work
Speaker 1: for Fox. And I was like, what are you doing here?
Speaker 1: And he's like, I'm just wandering around. I go perfect,
Speaker 1: because you have to remember a gal from Seattle and
Speaker 1: your dad and my brother's in a Steve Largent Jersey
Speaker 1: outside like watching us.
Speaker 2: I was like, get over here.
Speaker 1: You have to say hi to my brother and my dad,
Speaker 1: and Marshawn comes over and it's just his jovial fun
Speaker 1: self and it just was like those moments where you
Speaker 1: have to like remind yourself that, like your two worlds
Speaker 1: when they intersect, it's really special. So I love you
Speaker 1: Dad and my brother Tyson for coming, and I love
Speaker 1: Marshall Lynch for just being a goddamn dream. All right,
Speaker 1: So super Bowl was amazing. We are sad that it's over.
Speaker 1: We love our job so much. If that has not
Speaker 1: just been conveyed over the last forty minutes of us
Speaker 1: rambling about it, but now comes the portion of the
