Speaker 1: Calm Down with Aaron and Carissa is a production of
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio. Welcome to the pregame Calm Down Podcast.
Speaker 1: I feel like we haven't done one of these and forever.
Speaker 1: I don't think we have either. I don't even know
Speaker 1: how to talk apparently it's been so long. For those
Speaker 1: of you guys that don't know pre game and you're
Speaker 1: new to it, it's ten minutes of a little um
Speaker 1: preview of what we'll talk about later in the week
Speaker 1: on our full Calm Down podcast. So a lot has happened.
Speaker 1: We went to Vegas this past weekend on a work trip,
Speaker 1: which was so much fun. Aaron knows my affinity for Vegas,
Speaker 1: so the second I have, you know, any intimation that
Speaker 1: we're going there, I get excited. I have my little
Speaker 1: bag of chips that I carry around there from previous
Speaker 1: trips to Las Vegas. So they're all kinds of casino chips.
Speaker 1: In this Ritos no not to Rito's Cool Ranch would
Speaker 1: be my favorite. Not the norm will Nacho, but in
Speaker 1: this particular case, I'm referring to poker chips, and they
Speaker 1: come in all denominations. I even had a cash voucher
Speaker 1: that was ten cents. You did. That's so embarrassing. But
Speaker 1: everyone's like, why do you carry these around? Like because
Speaker 1: I leave Vegas with them in the bottom of random
Speaker 1: purses and then I just compiled them and when I
Speaker 1: go back, I used them. I did shitty this weekend
Speaker 1: in Vegas, but I did learn how to play crops,
Speaker 1: which is a big win for me straight hand. And
Speaker 1: I were calling you, Blanche, you walking around with your
Speaker 1: with your with your old ladies ziploc bag and your chips.
Speaker 1: And then I was laying on your bed at like
Speaker 1: one thirty in the morning, and I was like, do
Speaker 1: you think these are really dirty? Remember when you held
Speaker 1: that fifty dollar chip in your hand at the private
Speaker 1: area that Fox was nice enough to get And I
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god. And then she started pointing
Speaker 1: to all the cameras around there, like there's so many
Speaker 1: people watching me. Such a great time. And we did
Speaker 1: have a calm down, viewer, listener whatever, reach out and say,
Speaker 1: I'm sitting at a bar right now in Vegas with Terry,
Speaker 1: Jimmy and how we maybe was there and they said
Speaker 1: are you there? And it was like, girl, just give
Speaker 1: us twenty minutes and we are down there in a minute.
Speaker 1: It was so much fun and will expand upon the
Speaker 1: trip in our full Calm Down Podcast episode for this week.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Fox does a fun little retreat with the
Speaker 1: two pregames and Aaron's crew is a way for us
Speaker 1: to bond in the off season and it's so much focus.
Speaker 1: We haven't been able to do it the last couple
Speaker 1: of years because of COVID, So more on that trip
Speaker 1: in the full episode. But as we do on the
Speaker 1: pre game every week, or when we do a pregame
Speaker 1: almost every week, we UM answer some of you guys
Speaker 1: questions which are nice enough to write in or d
Speaker 1: ms on our Calm Down podcast. I G. This one
Speaker 1: comes from a photo gypsy m u QT, she asks UM,
Speaker 1: and she's a friend of the podcast and we love
Speaker 1: her so thank you for asking these questions. Very mindful.
Speaker 1: Oh she did make an uh whatever about herself an observation.
Speaker 1: She was in a hotel room. She said, she's destroying
Speaker 1: her pores in the mirror of the hotel room. I
Speaker 1: know you're a fan of those magnifying mirrors. I don't
Speaker 1: even mess with that because I would walk out looking
Speaker 1: like I was I don't know, in a burn victim
Speaker 1: of like the cellosilic acid I would have to put
Speaker 1: on my face after destroying every pore on my face.
Speaker 1: I can't do it. I was so confused about our
Speaker 1: hotel room mirror that we had the magnifying one because
Speaker 1: I was actually I found a really good black head.
Speaker 1: Like literally we had to be you, myself and our
Speaker 1: friend Joel Santos. We were on a text chain and
Speaker 1: we're like, let's meet downstairs in ten minutes, let's get
Speaker 1: it going before we get to top golf. And I
Speaker 1: instantly looked in it and I saw a great little
Speaker 1: black head, but the mirror was so low, and I
Speaker 1: was like, I don't understand this, So anyways, yes, I
Speaker 1: love it. I went to town as soon as I
Speaker 1: got home. This is exactly what I want to talk
Speaker 1: to you about. And I wasn't planning it. I would
Speaker 1: just like to apologize. What am I apologizing for? When
Speaker 1: I went to the magnifying mirror at home, I had
Speaker 1: like three of the longest nose hairs hanging out, and
Speaker 1: I started thinking, oh my god, if everybody in Vegas
Speaker 1: when we were all together was noticing, like by the way,
Speaker 1: I could have braided these or they were like flowing
Speaker 1: in the Vegas wind, because there was wind when we
Speaker 1: were landing. I'm surprised with the amount of alcohol we
Speaker 1: all consumed on this Vegas trip that no one said, Hey, Rapunzel,
Speaker 1: you want me to buy you a pair of scissors.
Speaker 1: I am so sorry. I had no idea. I went
Speaker 1: to town on my nose hairs. Okay, you know that
Speaker 1: I would be the first person to tell you, because
Speaker 1: on the way out there, I was going like this
Speaker 1: touching my face. What you're not supposed to do? Heard
Speaker 1: you talking about this keep the dirt away. And one
Speaker 1: of our bosses was in the back of the plane
Speaker 1: with us. We were sitting in like a little area,
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, ship, that chin hair is back,
Speaker 1: you know the one. It's course it pops up out
Speaker 1: of nowhere. You pluck it and then you think it's
Speaker 1: gone away. No, because I'm taking hair pills right now,
Speaker 1: which is why I've got the fake extensions back in,
Speaker 1: because I'm trying to grow my real hair. But when
Speaker 1: you start taking hair pills now, the hair is coming
Speaker 1: out of the woodwork laser the majority of my body,
Speaker 1: t am, I, but this chin hair is alive and well,
Speaker 1: so there's no chance that I wouldn't have told you
Speaker 1: about the you know, no situation. But every now and then, oh,
Speaker 1: you know, another really good mirror that I find a
Speaker 1: lot of items in the rear view mirror in the car.
Speaker 1: That lighting. You pull that thing down and you say
Speaker 1: to yourself, oh my god, I thought I waxed my
Speaker 1: eyebrows and there's some rogue hairs. So anyways, photo gypsy,
Speaker 1: Oh we hear you, we see you. I'm not really
Speaker 1: one for the hotel mirror, but every other meal with
Speaker 1: mirror with natural lighting, I'm in on. Okay. Another question
Speaker 1: she had, she says she's thirty eight and single in
Speaker 1: a new city, and so she was asking for tips.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I'm you know, I'm not the expert
Speaker 1: in dating, but I will say this as someone who's
Speaker 1: now single and ready to mingle. I think I don't do.
Speaker 1: I've never done any dating apps. Did you ever doting
Speaker 1: dating apps before you get married? No, I'm too afraid
Speaker 1: of that. Yeah, me too. And that's not calling anybody
Speaker 1: out there don't because I think you're very brave. But
Speaker 1: I just know totally. My sister actually on match dot
Speaker 1: com met her husband and this was twelve years ago.
Speaker 1: I mean this is when it first came out, so
Speaker 1: it worked amazing. She had a nine month old baby, Alyssa,
Speaker 1: and because she had been cheated on by her first husband,
Speaker 1: Oh boy, do we have ex husband stories me out.
Speaker 1: So she had been cheated on by her husband who
Speaker 1: they worked together, which, by the way, Jennifer Thompson would
Speaker 1: love me to tell that story because she lived to
Speaker 1: see the dark days and came out better on the
Speaker 1: other side. Anyway, So she had a nine month old
Speaker 1: baby and she met this incredible guy who's now my
Speaker 1: brother in law of twelve years on her first it
Speaker 1: was her first date on match dot com. They met
Speaker 1: for coffee and the rest is history. And other two
Speaker 1: kids at their own so it clearly works. But um,
Speaker 1: I would say, I I think for me being in now,
Speaker 1: definitely want to be vetted. Um meeting someone through friends
Speaker 1: of friends that would be my advice. So whoever lives
Speaker 1: in your new city, maybe if you've got some friends
Speaker 1: like in a in a in a group date kind
Speaker 1: of a thing gets set up or I don't have
Speaker 1: any other advice. No, I think that's good because that's
Speaker 1: how I met Jarrett through straight hand and friend of
Speaker 1: a friend. I agree and we've had conversations about that before.
Speaker 1: It's like, if you don't know somebody for a very
Speaker 1: long time, but your friends do, that kind of just
Speaker 1: vetted out a bunch of stuff. They're not going to
Speaker 1: bring an asshole into your life if they're like, you know, so, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that's great advice. I had posed a question
Speaker 1: on the Calm Down podcast i G about selling Sunset.
Speaker 1: I finally got through it. I finally like bench the
Speaker 1: whole thing just the last season. I didn't go back.
Speaker 1: I don't feel like I need to lots of questions,
Speaker 1: but my number one question that I posed on i G.
Speaker 1: And I'd love to hear your thoughts because we've never
Speaker 1: talked about this, but now some viewers or listeners are
Speaker 1: writing in about it. What what filter are they using
Speaker 1: on that show this last season? That is not a
Speaker 1: normal that's not like what we're on with Fox. That's
Speaker 1: a filter. They don't have one freaking pimple or nose hair.
Speaker 1: You know, No, there's no chance because since we're all
Speaker 1: and what are we in now? Four K, five K
Speaker 1: too too many numbers to count in terms of high definition.
Speaker 1: But it's a great question. I don't know, but I'll
Speaker 1: take it, but they are right, or it's that blown
Speaker 1: out lighting because sometimes, like when I watched Kelly and
Speaker 1: Ryan in the morning, I'm like, they look more power
Speaker 1: to them, whatever lighting is going on in that studio,
Speaker 1: because there's no shame and me, I will take all
Speaker 1: the light me up like a Christmas tree. I mean
Speaker 1: at this point, I don't know, but there's definitely incredible lighting.
Speaker 1: Or in post production they can add some filter situation
Speaker 1: because you don't want them to look they want them
Speaker 1: to look perfect, so there's no I mean when we
Speaker 1: look we go back on first reality shows too. Now
Speaker 1: everyone even like the Kardashians. I don't know if you've
Speaker 1: been watching and I was going to ask you, you
Speaker 1: said you are watching it. Are they doing this too? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Everything's perfect, great, yeah, And I'm not mad at it,
Speaker 1: you know at this point. But well maybe I'll get
Speaker 1: into it on our full length podcast because I sometimes
Speaker 1: the too much filters, the too much filter, Oh girl,
Speaker 1: I at it. I mean, I'm gold be up to
Speaker 1: live with a filter, but I know, so that's my
Speaker 1: mouth and my face. Whoa. And with that, we're going
Speaker 1: to wrap up on the Free Game. We will see
Speaker 1: you on our full episode on Thursday. Thanks for listening
