Welcome to the pregame Calm Down Podcast. 3 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: I feel like we haven't done one of these and forever. 4 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,319 Speaker 1: I don't think we have either. I don't even know 5 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 1: how to talk apparently it's been so long. For those 6 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 1: of you guys that don't know pre game and you're 7 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,119 Speaker 1: new to it, it's ten minutes of a little um 8 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,079 Speaker 1: preview of what we'll talk about later in the week 9 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,759 Speaker 1: on our full Calm Down podcast. So a lot has happened. 10 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: We went to Vegas this past weekend on a work trip, 11 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:32,880 Speaker 1: which was so much fun. Aaron knows my affinity for Vegas, 12 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: so the second I have, you know, any intimation that 13 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,880 Speaker 1: we're going there, I get excited. I have my little 14 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: bag of chips that I carry around there from previous 15 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 1: trips to Las Vegas. So they're all kinds of casino chips. 16 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 1: In this Ritos no not to Rito's Cool Ranch would 17 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 1: be my favorite. Not the norm will Nacho, but in 18 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: this particular case, I'm referring to poker chips, and they 19 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: come in all denominations. I even had a cash voucher 20 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: that was ten cents. You did. That's so embarrassing. But 21 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: everyone's like, why do you carry these around? Like because 22 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: I leave Vegas with them in the bottom of random 23 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: purses and then I just compiled them and when I 24 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,680 Speaker 1: go back, I used them. I did shitty this weekend 25 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: in Vegas, but I did learn how to play crops, 26 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: which is a big win for me straight hand. And 27 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: I were calling you, Blanche, you walking around with your 28 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: with your with your old ladies ziploc bag and your chips. 29 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: And then I was laying on your bed at like 30 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 1: one thirty in the morning, and I was like, do 31 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: you think these are really dirty? Remember when you held 32 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 1: that fifty dollar chip in your hand at the private 33 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 1: area that Fox was nice enough to get And I 34 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: was like, oh my god. And then she started pointing 35 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,199 Speaker 1: to all the cameras around there, like there's so many 36 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 1: people watching me. Such a great time. And we did 37 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: have a calm down, viewer, listener whatever, reach out and say, 38 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: I'm sitting at a bar right now in Vegas with Terry, 39 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: Jimmy and how we maybe was there and they said 40 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: are you there?

I G. This one 54 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: comes from a photo gypsy m u QT, she asks UM, 55 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 1: and she's a friend of the podcast and we love 56 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: her so thank you for asking these questions. Very mindful. 57 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: Oh she did make an uh whatever about herself an observation. 58 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: She was in a hotel room. She said, she's destroying 59 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: her pores in the mirror of the hotel room. I 60 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 1: know you're a fan of those magnifying mirrors. I don't 61 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,959 Speaker 1: even mess with that because I would walk out looking 62 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 1: like I was I don't know, in a burn victim 63 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: of like the cellosilic acid I would have to put 64 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,959 Speaker 1: on my face after destroying every pore on my face. 65 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: I can't do it. I was so confused about our 66 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: hotel room mirror that we had the magnifying one because 67 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: I was actually I found a really good black head. 68 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: Like literally we had to be you, myself and our 69 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,639 Speaker 1: friend Joel Santos. We were on a text chain and 70 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: we're like, let's meet downstairs in ten minutes, let's get 71 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: it going before we get to top golf. And I 72 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: instantly looked in it and I saw a great little 73 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: black head, but the mirror was so low, and I 74 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: was like, I don't understand this, So anyways, yes, I 75 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: love it. I went to town as soon as I 76 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: got home. This is exactly what I want to talk 77 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: to you about. And I wasn't planning it. I would 78 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: just like to apologize. What am I apologizing for? When 79 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: I went to the magnifying mirror at home, I had 80 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: like three of the longest nose hairs hanging out, and 81 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: I started thinking, oh my god, if everybody in Vegas 82 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: when we were all together was noticing, like by the way, 83 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: I could have braided these or they were like flowing 84 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: in the Vegas wind, because there was wind when we 85 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: were landing. I'm surprised with the amount of alcohol we 86 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: all consumed on this Vegas trip that no one said, Hey, Rapunzel, 87 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: you want me to buy you a pair of scissors. 88 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: I am so sorry. I had no idea. I went 89 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 1: to town on my nose hairs. Okay, you know that 90 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: I would be the first person to tell you, because 91 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: on the way out there, I was going like this 92 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: touching my face. What you're not supposed to do? Heard 93 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: you talking about this keep the dirt away. And one 94 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: of our bosses was in the back of the plane 95 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:32,919 Speaker 1: with us. We were sitting in like a little area, 96 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, ship, that chin hair is back, 97 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: you know the one. It's course it pops up out 98 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: of nowhere. You pluck it and then you think it's 99 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: gone away. No, because I'm taking hair pills right now, 100 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 1: which is why I've got the fake extensions back in, 101 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: because I'm trying to grow my real hair. But when 102 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: you start taking hair pills now, the hair is coming 103 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,799 Speaker 1: out of the woodwork laser the majority of my body, 104 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: t am, I, but this chin hair is alive and well, 105 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 1: so there's no chance that I wouldn't have told you 106 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: about the you know, no situation. But every now and then, oh, 107 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: you know, another really good mirror that I find a 108 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: lot of items in the rear view mirror in the car. 109 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 1: That lighting. You pull that thing down and you say 110 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: to yourself, oh my god, I thought I waxed my 111 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 1: eyebrows and there's some rogue hairs. So anyways, photo gypsy, 112 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: Oh we hear you, we see you. I'm not really 113 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: one for the hotel mirror, but every other meal with 114 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,799 Speaker 1: mirror with natural lighting, I'm in on. Okay. Another question 115 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: she had, she says she's thirty eight and single in 116 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 1: a new city, and so she was asking for tips. 117 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 1: I mean, look, I'm you know, I'm not the expert 118 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 1: in dating, but I will say this as someone who's 119 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: now single and ready to mingle. I think I don't do. 120 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: I've never done any dating apps. Did you ever doting 121 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 1: dating apps before you get married? No, I'm too afraid 122 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: of that. Yeah, me too. And that's not calling anybody 123 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: out there don't because I think you're very brave. But 124 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: I just know totally. My sister actually on match dot 125 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: com met her husband and this was twelve years ago. 126 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: I mean this is when it first came out, so 127 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: it worked amazing. She had a nine month old baby, Alyssa, 128 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: and because she had been cheated on by her first husband, 129 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: Oh boy, do we have ex husband stories me out. 130 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 1: So she had been cheated on by her husband who 131 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: they worked together, which, by the way, Jennifer Thompson would 132 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: love me to tell that story because she lived to 133 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: see the dark days and came out better on the 134 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 1: other side. Anyway, So she had a nine month old 135 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: baby and she met this incredible guy who's now my 136 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 1: brother in law of twelve years on her first it 137 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: was her first date on match dot com. They met 138 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: for coffee and the rest is history. And other two 139 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: kids at their own so it clearly works. But um, 140 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 1: I would say, I I think for me being in now, 141 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 1: definitely want to be vetted. Um meeting someone through friends 142 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: of friends that would be my advice. So whoever lives 143 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: in your new city, maybe if you've got some friends 144 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 1: like in a in a in a group date kind 145 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: of a thing gets set up or I don't have 146 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: any other advice. No, I think that's good because that's 147 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,919 Speaker 1: how I met Jarrett through straight hand and friend of 148 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: a friend. I agree and we've had conversations about that before. 149 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: It's like, if you don't know somebody for a very 150 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: long time, but your friends do, that kind of just 151 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: vetted out a bunch of stuff. They're not going to 152 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: bring an asshole into your life if they're like, you know, so, Yeah, 153 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: I think that's great advice. I had posed a question 154 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: on the Calm Down podcast i G about selling Sunset. 155 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: I finally got through it. I finally like bench the 156 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: whole thing just the last season. I didn't go back. 157 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: I don't feel like I need to lots of questions, 158 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: but my number one question that I posed on i G. 159 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: And I'd love to hear your thoughts because we've never 160 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: talked about this, but now some viewers or listeners are 161 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,239 Speaker 1: writing in about it. What what filter are they using 162 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: on that show this last season? That is not a 163 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: normal that's not like what we're on with Fox. That's 164 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: a filter. They don't have one freaking pimple or nose hair. 165 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: You know, No, there's no chance because since we're all 166 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: and what are we in now? Four K, five K 167 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: too too many numbers to count in terms of high definition. 168 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: But it's a great question.
