Speaker 1: I was showed up on the sidelines looking like Lisa Lobe.
Speaker 1: I had glasses and black hair, and the week before
Speaker 1: I had Barbie trying something hair.
Speaker 2: It's a journey. It is my Larissa Thompson.
Speaker 3: Calm Down with Aaron and Carissa is a production of iHeartRadio.
Speaker 3: It's pregame and guess what. It's the draft this weekend.
Speaker 3: I mean, our lives, as we like to say, are over.
Speaker 3: But that's very exciting. I'm excited to like the football's
Speaker 3: back in the conversation. Were in the conversation with you
Speaker 3: guys and your fun questions so good. But let's do
Speaker 3: a disclaimer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what a bad mood.
Speaker 3: No, but I thought we would both be super hungover
Speaker 3: today because we went to a little sore for our
Speaker 3: friend and instead the aggravation, aggravation and frustration of a
Speaker 3: call and text you left me of losing your wallet
Speaker 3: potentially in an uber. Dear Uber, this is a PSA.
Speaker 3: I've left a message to messages on the driver's voicemail.
Speaker 3: I know Chris's husband has left a message. She just
Speaker 3: got her brand new license. She left her wallet in
Speaker 3: his car. Sir, you were great with your tunes, with
Speaker 3: your hair, with your semi screens. Can we get the
Speaker 3: wallet back?
Speaker 2: Please? And thank you? I know I'm so annoyed at myself.
Speaker 3: Have you guys ever done this where it's like and
Speaker 3: it's like a purse that doesn't close all the way.
Speaker 2: It's like open and it's trying to be like, oh,
Speaker 2: it's such a cute curse.
Speaker 3: And I put it in the backseat not paying attention
Speaker 3: and I didn't check. So yes, dear overdriver, please call
Speaker 3: me back, Please call me back.
Speaker 1: But I got to say I was crying this morning
Speaker 1: to you about losing my wallet because I have to
Speaker 1: get on a plane today and I already thought I
Speaker 1: lost my passport.
Speaker 2: But I got that back, so at least I have that.
Speaker 3: But I'm just like I at least appreciate American Express
Speaker 3: and bank cards that let you order that thing in
Speaker 3: twenty four hours and they, you know, like are sending
Speaker 3: it like AMEX is like you'll have your new replacement
Speaker 3: card by tomorrow.
Speaker 2: That's amazing. Side note, this is for the big show.
Speaker 1: Actually, I'm going to tell you something that I discovered
Speaker 1: this morning. The tease is that American Express things. I've
Speaker 1: been a member with them for forty two years. Well,
Speaker 1: now they're going to living No, they're not. They're not
Speaker 1: going to fix it. Loyalty. It's their mistake, and I
Speaker 1: am a very loyal American Express person. I'm going to
Speaker 1: explain this.
Speaker 2: That's adorable. It's it was a mistake they made, but
Speaker 2: it's to my benefit. AnyWho. Dear Uber driver, please send
Speaker 2: me my wallet back.
Speaker 3: We weren't even drunk, no, we and that's we were
Speaker 3: having great breakthrough conversations. Also, to steal a line from
Speaker 3: Steel Magnolias, I don't know what you're feeling on the inside,
Speaker 3: but on the outside you look fantastic, Like when Milan
Speaker 3: was at the funeral. Was great because I blowed dried
Speaker 3: my hair leaving conditioner at the party yesterday. I had
Speaker 3: to wear a hat because I fell asleep and it
Speaker 3: took a nap and my leaving conditioner was left in
Speaker 3: for Oh. I mean, my hair's probably never felt healthier.
Speaker 3: You're saying much though.
Speaker 1: By the way, this hair is a cracking off and
Speaker 1: I don't have any money now to pay to fix it. Okay,
Speaker 1: enough of my place here we go pre game. We
Speaker 1: love you guys, thank you for writing it. As always,
Speaker 1: we got Melanie ten twelve. Does it irk? First of all,
Speaker 1: I love the word irk. Does it irk you too?
Speaker 1: When people walk in the middle of the parking lot?
Speaker 1: Zero awareness?
Speaker 2: Melanie?
Speaker 1: Fantastic question, and absolutely it irks me. Do we just
Speaker 1: think that, like the parking lot is for pedestrians last
Speaker 1: time I checked.
Speaker 2: Parking lot is for cars.
Speaker 1: Look behind you and if you see a car, speed
Speaker 1: it up or move off to the side.
Speaker 2: I'm with you, Melanie, it's so.
Speaker 1: And you know what, there's zero awareness for a lot
Speaker 1: of things in life.
Speaker 2: People just think the world's going to revolve around them.
Speaker 1: I'm going to wait to get out of this parking
Speaker 1: lot so you can saunter your ass slowly across this
Speaker 1: Tjmax parking lot.
Speaker 2: Let's go.
Speaker 3: We all got places to be. I not without a wallet.
Speaker 3: I don't spatial awareness in general, just when people don't
Speaker 3: have it pisses me off. Kendra and I my sister,
Speaker 3: have actually created a tune. It's very easy to learn.
Speaker 2: Spatial awareness is amazing.
Speaker 3: Or you could throw in you don't have spacial awareness
Speaker 3: and you should get it. I can't stand when people
Speaker 3: have black of spatial awareness.
Speaker 2: It's crazy toll for me.
Speaker 1: Fright, So are you guys at a restaurant and someone's
Speaker 1: standing really close to you, and you'll start singing the song.
Speaker 3: Restaurant, bar, Disneyland, wherever, like you here too, And then
Speaker 3: I can see you guys also doing a little jazzer
Speaker 3: size move with the song.
Speaker 2: I mean, I could break out to a full chorus.
Speaker 3: I mean, forget Taylor Swift's forty five songs she launched
Speaker 3: this week, we could do seventy five about spatial awareness.
Speaker 2: I'm with you.
Speaker 3: I that's something for the big sure that we can
Speaker 3: have a conversation about. Because you and I discussed it.
Speaker 2: We need a road.
Speaker 3: I have so many questions comments we're talking about it.
Speaker 3: I need to stop guide. Last night, when I got
Speaker 3: home from the party with you, I stayed up for
Speaker 3: another hour and a half reading about all the Easter
Speaker 3: eggs Taylor Swift puts in all of her songs and videos.
Speaker 3: I got to go over some things with you. We
Speaker 3: got a lot to talk about this weekend, Amy together.
Speaker 3: This weekend a Amy is Amy is our new go to.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, you're up, girl, Patrick, cue like that? Aaron,
Speaker 3: how are you navigating being? Presumably it's like you know
Speaker 3: me so well? A type A mom recovering control free.
Speaker 3: There's a couple of things, and we can talk about
Speaker 3: this on the Big Show. I okay, So when we
Speaker 3: go to our gym classes, which we have a really
Speaker 3: good time doing, and they're great, he's, you know, learning
Speaker 3: all about motor skills, interacting and socializing and so forth.
Speaker 3: But the old I'm going to put a toy in
Speaker 3: my mouth that doesn't belong to me. I mean, my
Speaker 3: reflex skills are fantastic. I swatted it away so packed
Speaker 3: now no, And then he's like the other thing I'm
Speaker 3: having a hard time with. And I know moms out
Speaker 3: there can relate to me, and I can relate to them.
Speaker 3: And I feel bad for never understanding this as a
Speaker 3: woman that didn't have a kid. I feel like such
Speaker 3: a failure. In the morning, he's getting a little fussy
Speaker 3: after he's done with breakfast, but we'd like him to
Speaker 3: eat a little bit more. And then it's like ah,
Speaker 3: and then the crying. It's not even crying, it's just
Speaker 3: whining without tears. So I just looked at our nanny today,
Speaker 3: who is such a great help and is so wonderful,
Speaker 3: and I just said, I feel like a failure. I
Speaker 3: can't make him happy. So that's something I'm trying to
Speaker 3: navigate when he's upset. He's upset and I don't know
Speaker 3: how to get him out of it. But bab he's
Speaker 3: also a baby.
Speaker 1: And I'm going to tell you because firsthand I saw
Speaker 1: it yesterday, prior to losing the wallet. The highlight of
Speaker 1: my car ride was us facetiming with Mac and the
Speaker 1: second that he sees you, he went ah, and it
Speaker 1: was so cute. I came home and I told Steve,
Speaker 1: I go we FaceTime Mac on the way home, and
Speaker 1: the way he looked at you, he was so happy
Speaker 1: to see his mom And I love seeing it, Like
Speaker 1: makes me emotional thinking about it because it's like you
Speaker 1: waited so long to have this baby, and like now
Speaker 1: he's getting to the age where he can recognize you
Speaker 1: and like all these things and he's like.
Speaker 3: He knows his mommy, and it's so sweet. It's really sweet.
Speaker 3: Tommy's struggling making him happy. But I'm trying to figure
Speaker 3: it out. That's not trude, No, you aren't. He's a baby.
Speaker 3: It probably has nothing to do with you. It's like
Speaker 3: all relationships. His sadness in certain moments has nothing to
Speaker 3: do with you. He's just going through a lot. You know,
Speaker 3: he's teen. Ooh, Anonymous, we have an anonymous question for you.
Speaker 3: Oh we do It's great? Yeah, okay, fantastic.
Speaker 2: What do we have?
Speaker 1: Friend started a rumor I slept with a guy had
Speaker 1: a girlfriend, and now years later wants to be friends again.
Speaker 2: Yes or no?
Speaker 3: Oh well I have a track record with letting people
Speaker 3: back in my life that I shouldn't. Hello, that's a
Speaker 3: Taylor Swift song which number twenty six. I mean I know, no, no,
Speaker 3: absolutely not. I'm at a place in my life and
Speaker 3: I'm not sure Anonymous where you are at your age.
Speaker 2: But I would say.
Speaker 1: This the whole like, you know, burn me once, shame
Speaker 1: on you, burn me twice, shame on me thing uh huh,
Speaker 1: burn me once, bye bye, Like we're we're not waiting
Speaker 1: for second and third and fourth chances. If this person
Speaker 1: is going to do that to you back, then they're
Speaker 1: going to do it again in some capacity. It might
Speaker 1: not be as harsh maybe whatever, but no, like you're
Speaker 1: starting a rumor that you slept with the guy that
Speaker 1: had a girlfriend and now you want to be friends.
Speaker 3: Absolutely not. There are too many wonderful people out there
Speaker 3: in the world that can be your friend. You do
Speaker 3: not need to waste time on someone that has already
Speaker 3: shown you.
Speaker 2: Who they are. We talked about this a lot yesterday.
Speaker 3: It was a totally different circumstance on our way back
Speaker 3: from our girlfriend's birthday party. Just the group of people
Speaker 3: that were there, and a lot of them are my
Speaker 3: friends that you have met casually before. But they love you,
Speaker 3: you know, want to be I almost started a tech
Speaker 3: chain with you in them with you and them today,
Speaker 3: but knew the wallet situation so didn't want to go
Speaker 3: there yet.
Speaker 2: But make me happy.
Speaker 3: They're great, great, But you show up for people, you
Speaker 3: don't start rumors about them f that. No, I guess
Speaker 3: you could be like give somebody a chance like you mentioned,
Speaker 3: But I'm good. I'm just him at this point. You
Speaker 3: and I discuss it all the time. I don't need
Speaker 3: that in my life. I need people lifting me up.
Speaker 3: I'm talking about you nicely in the room when you're
Speaker 3: not there.
Speaker 2: Don't you see that meme a lot lately all.
Speaker 1: The time, And I think it targets me for the algorithm,
Speaker 1: because I want all the support that I can get
Speaker 1: when I'm not in a certain room. But no, it is,
Speaker 1: and I'm the queen of a quote and I love it.
Speaker 1: But my friendship circle has gotten a lot, a lot smaller,
Speaker 1: and that is by choice. And I've never been happier
Speaker 1: knowing that. Like, I don't need a ton of friends,
Speaker 1: I just need really good friends and those and this
Speaker 1: anonymous is not a really good friends. So keep it moving, sister.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, here's a teaser. I just saw one
Speaker 3: of the tip one of our headlines for the Big Show.
Speaker 3: I can't wait to discuss it.
Speaker 2: What do we got? We'll talk about it in the
Speaker 2: Big Show. There's a tea.
Speaker 3: But meanwhile, Kate Evelyn one one one, CHRISA, tell us
Speaker 3: about your short short hair phase. I think that's her
Speaker 3: tinker Bell phase.
Speaker 2: I loved it. I love our hair right now and
Speaker 2: there's no extensions and it looks good. No extensions right now.
Speaker 3: My whole hair journey has been documented by Google searches
Speaker 3: that I have had some real doozies this.
Speaker 2: I have a lot of moisturizer on those listening.
Speaker 1: I was the short short phase, as I like to
Speaker 1: refer to it, my Susie Orman.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 1: It was something that I was like so down to
Speaker 1: do because I had been. I had like the worst
Speaker 1: set of hair extensions like for years and years, and
Speaker 1: shout out to Rihanna, who is an incredible hairstylist. I
Speaker 1: only trusted her to do it. I was like, I want.
Speaker 1: I found this one picture of this girl. I thought
Speaker 1: she looked so sexy with like short hair, and it
Speaker 1: was do you remember it was no? I mean I
Speaker 1: have the picture still.
Speaker 3: It was just some random like not like a actress
Speaker 3: or anything, but it was a random girl and I
Speaker 3: thought she looked so incredible. So I brought into Rihanna
Speaker 3: and I was like do this and she's like, are
Speaker 3: you sure?
Speaker 1: And I was like yeah, cause that's like you take
Speaker 1: all that hair off, and it's like you better like
Speaker 1: feel good about yourself because that is a hairstyle that
Speaker 1: a you have to do and it's not like, oh,
Speaker 1: you're rolling out of bed like it has to.
Speaker 2: That is one thing about short hair. You have to
Speaker 2: do it way more than long hair.
Speaker 3: Like long hair like you could just take that ponytail
Speaker 3: down and you're like, judh it up and you're ready
Speaker 3: to go. I did, like you up in a clip
Speaker 3: and you and you like let your things down and
Speaker 3: you look great tundrels. You know, I think that short
Speaker 3: hair is more high maintenance than long hair. But I
Speaker 3: have always had shitty hair just because I fuck with
Speaker 3: it all the time. But to answer your question, my
Speaker 3: sweet Kate Evelyn eleven one one one, I won't ever
Speaker 3: do that again. This is as short as I will go.
Speaker 2: But it was.
Speaker 1: I'm happy I did it at the time of my life.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't do it as I keep getting older. I'm like,
Speaker 1: that was a hairstyle for like the mid twenties. If
Speaker 1: you're gonna take a chance, do it when you're younger,
Speaker 1: not when you're older, because then you're like, mom cut
Speaker 1: without I'm not even a mom.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Kristen wigg and the Target added, which by the way,
Speaker 3: is so good. The commercials are so great. You know
Speaker 3: what I would think about with that haircut is I like,
Speaker 3: this is so psychotic and stupid of me, like to
Speaker 3: have a little ponytail in pilates or berries.
Speaker 2: You're not having a ponytail.
Speaker 1: With no no, no, no, no, You're you're there's nothing
Speaker 1: on the neck.
Speaker 2: There's there's a breeze coming through.
Speaker 1: You're getting burned back there, you're getting frostbite.
Speaker 2: There's nothing to protect the neck.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: No, yeah, okay, you really do?
Speaker 3: You need to put some makeup on because it's like,
Speaker 3: oh shit, it is like what wolf.
Speaker 2: In the morning.
Speaker 1: There's a certain guy that has to be with you
Speaker 1: for that haircut too. Not all guys are down for that,
Speaker 1: Like are you at the behind?
Speaker 2: Are we this a boy or girl?
Speaker 3: Was I? No?
Speaker 1: I was at I was at Extra, I was at
Speaker 1: Extra and Fox.
Speaker 2: Yeah I did Lisa.
Speaker 1: It was shout out to Lisa Grigorge, all the bosses
Speaker 1: that I've had, I will just do these hairstyles, like
Speaker 1: when I went black, Like I just dyed my hair
Speaker 1: black and then showed up for work the next day
Speaker 1: and they were like yo, Like I was showed up
Speaker 1: on the sidelines looking like Lisa Lobe. I had glasses
Speaker 1: and black hair, and the week before I had Barbie
Speaker 1: trying something.
Speaker 2: And I'm trying something.
Speaker 3: But I remember all my bosses, especially Lisa, was like, hey,
Speaker 3: can you not do this every week like something different,
Speaker 3: like we're going for consistency, Like we had shot all
Speaker 3: of our promos, like all of our stuff for the
Speaker 3: new season, and I come strolling in with shorty swing
Speaker 3: my way.
Speaker 2: Anyways, hair it's a journey. It is Arsa Thompson.
Speaker 3: We're going to go a little longer on the pregame.
Speaker 3: I'm taking liberties and making that announcement here because this
Speaker 3: is such a great question, and I know Chris and
Speaker 3: I get so fired up about this cass G seventeen.
Speaker 3: What to do about men who think they know sports
Speaker 3: and give wrong stats at the bar. I wish Jared
Speaker 3: lee Stole was here right now because he would go
Speaker 3: like this, head down shake.
Speaker 2: It is a It is not.
Speaker 3: A good time with us when we are at a
Speaker 3: bar and someone starts yapping away about sports in general.
Speaker 3: Don't know what they're talking about, give wrong stats, give
Speaker 3: stupid opinions.
Speaker 2: I misinformation.
Speaker 1: Where you're like that, You're like, that's not actually what's
Speaker 1: happened at all, But go ahead and so out. If
Speaker 1: you want to keep petch wow perpetuating that rumor, go
Speaker 1: for it.
Speaker 3: I tend to think I am like the player that
Speaker 3: got drafted late in the draft.
Speaker 2: I have a chip on my shoulder because this justin.
Speaker 2: I'm a woman.
Speaker 3: I work in sports actually get to hear and learn
Speaker 3: about a lot of things the average show doesn't. And
Speaker 3: I'm not saying anything poor like rude about that, but
Speaker 3: it always feels like a challenge at a bar when
Speaker 3: somebody starts to yap it away and given their two cents.
Speaker 3: I got a neighbor. I'm not gonna I'm gonna say it.
Speaker 3: I got a neighbor that's a forty nine ers fan.
Speaker 3: I think I've been pretty pretty vocal about my love
Speaker 3: for Kyle Shanahan, my love for that team, my love
Speaker 3: for the offense, the defense, the general manager, yep, pr,
Speaker 3: I got a covered great organization. Fab gives their two
Speaker 3: cents every now and then about you know what John
Speaker 3: Lynch should do, gives a two cents about how Kyle
Speaker 3: Shanahan should coach, and Jared's Oltlake Oh god, oh god,
Speaker 3: what you want to raller up? Just say nine ers?
Speaker 2: Here we go.
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh really, Oh yeah, because because what didn't
Speaker 3: you like about that?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: Because but you know that the backup but Drake Greenlaw
Speaker 3: got hurt, so that probably didn't hurt them at all.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm getting like sweat emotion. Now, how do
Speaker 2: you feel about this question? I don't like it.
Speaker 1: I've gotten into it. I know this sulper shocking for everyone.
Speaker 1: I had an airport bar after I've come from. I
Speaker 1: don't know whether it's working a game or whether it's
Speaker 1: having done an NFL Films interview about the guy like sure.
Speaker 1: My favorite is like when it was Brandon Graham that
Speaker 1: I was doing an interview with last year for NFL Films.
Speaker 3: Incredible individual, has played great Eagles. I think he's going
Speaker 3: into his like fifteenth year. Family is great. Family is incredible.
Speaker 3: And I'm sitting there in Philadelphia at the bar, and
Speaker 3: you know the guy that wants to be like, oh,
Speaker 3: so what do you do? And I'm like, oh, and
Speaker 3: I always go I always go.
Speaker 2: Through the TV. I'm right there.
Speaker 1: I'm going for the lowest thing. I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I just work in sports. And he's like, oh, what
Speaker 1: do you do? I was like, oh, I work for
Speaker 1: Fox at Amazon.
Speaker 2: He's like, but what do you do?
Speaker 3: So I'm like, okay, So now we're on the third
Speaker 3: follow up questions and now I'm finally gonna say it, okay,
Speaker 3: Like I ho was this?
Speaker 2: Oh what are you doing?
Speaker 3: In Philly? I did an interview with Brandon Graham. Oh
Speaker 3: he retired a few years ago. He didn't retire. I
Speaker 3: just sat down with him. Yeah, no, no, he retired
Speaker 3: a few years ago. I said, sorry, sir, I don't
Speaker 3: mean to be rude, but I just sat down with him.
Speaker 3: He's going into his whatever said fifteenth season. No, no, no,
Speaker 3: I know he retired a few years like. He's like
Speaker 3: adamant about it.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: Finally, I'm like, who's the idiot, the person that argues
Speaker 3: with crazy or the crazy. So at this point I go, oh,
Speaker 3: you must know better than I do, no problem, And
Speaker 3: he's like, oh, well, now you have an attitude. I'm like,
Speaker 3: you're well, now I'm the asshole. It always comes back
Speaker 3: to this because I actually know the information, but you
Speaker 3: are now embarrassed because you're wrong.
Speaker 2: I'm the asshole. No problem.
Speaker 1: You know what, sir, how about I just buy you
Speaker 1: a drink and you go sit on the other side
Speaker 1: of the bar.
Speaker 2: Because I'm bored of this conversation.
Speaker 1: This happens a lot more than it should, and you
Speaker 1: know this, I should probably just go to Hudson News
Speaker 1: and get a book not rude exactly.
Speaker 2: If I were a man, I'd be the man.
Speaker 1: And no, Brandon Graham's still playing love just sign a
Speaker 1: new deal right one ear?
Speaker 3: But no, he retired years ago. Oh okay, Well, you're retired.
Speaker 3: I'm you should retire from your cocktails.
