Speaker 1 (00:00):
So Taylor, I know that you obviously have other things
going on right now, but if you get this message,
we would love for you to perform at the super Bowl.
Calm Down with Erin and Carissa is a production of iHeartRadio.
Welcome everybody to the Calm Down Podcast. Aaron's got a
story she's never told me, or that's a lie. You listen.
(00:23):
It was a one o'clock kick on Fox. Joe Buck,
Troy Aikman, Aaron Andrews with the call, and we come on. Yeah, no,
it's one o'clock, so you know, Kurt throws it. We're somewhere,
and we were if we were in Philly and they
kick off, and Joe goes, no, no, right for the kickoff.
Joe goes, oh, everybody, welcome to Philadelvia. Let's take it
(00:44):
out of the New York Giants, and then the words
a tone low, Let's do it myself. I thought that
was so funny. Let's do it like I just texted
Joe right away. I'm like, I'm crying so good. Oh
my god, what a group. And with that, we welcome you.
It has been two weeks since we have talked to you. Guys.
(01:04):
We were off one week, and then I had the
airplane democle along with the rest of the world that
was traveling, which is so crazy. Our dependency on technology
is scary. I mean, I'm not saying anything we don't know,
but like the fact that, like what I kept thinking
about is like, look, you know, everyone knows that the
whole system that went down when it affected airports, it
(01:28):
affected hospitals, and that's what I was thinking about. Like banks,
then I was thinking about, like, wonder ifull you wake
up in the morning and like you look at your
bank account and all the money's gone, It's like, wouldn't
you freak out? And it's like, oh no, we're having
a technical issue. Like this is why I don't trust crypto,
because I'm like, one day it just be gone and
like there's a glitch, and like anything that I ever
had is gone. But anyways, in this particular case, all
(01:48):
that was gone was me getting home in time to
do the podcast because there was delays and delays and delays.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
But here's the thing. We talk about this a lot
on here. It is not the flight attendant's fault.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
It is not the pilot's fault, It is not the
ticket agent's fault that the operating system went down. So
these people went ballistic. On this plane, there was a
contingent of about four couples. There's these two on your plane,
on my plane, these two couples, and they were too
old to be acting this way. Let me just say
that they were like, we are being held hostage. And
I wanted to be like, first of all, oh, don't
(02:21):
you dare use that term ever. Ever, Okay, because what
we know is going on in the world, that is
insane behavior to act like that and say that phrase.
And don't yell at the flight attendant. You think that
this is her, You think that she you know what
she thought to herself when she woke up in the morning.
You know what I want to do? Be stuck on
a plane with these people? No, so knock it off.
So make the most of the situation, which again is
(02:42):
not ideal. And this is where I think I'm getting
a lot better in life. And I will give Steve
credit for this. The old me would have been like fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck,
Now you know what I do? What are you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Like, surrendering to a situation is just so much better.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
So you know what I did. I was like, I'm
going to organiz all the pictures on my phone that
are always all over the place and I can't find
them in an album because I go to show you
some things in the ranch and I'm scrolling back and
I can't find anything. So I organized photos. Steve and
I had a little nice, you know, date whatever on
their FaceTime thing, like just make the most of the situation. So, yeah,
(03:18):
as much as I miss being with you guys, we're back.
I loved how you handle that with your attitude. So
you got it a lot worse than I did. The
day it actually happened. That Friday, I was trying to
fly home from LA and I woke up to so
many text messages like this is bad. Everything's canceled. I
was able to get home that night. It took me
like literally twenty four hours, but I got home. You
(03:40):
paid a half your price. That was nuts for you,
but I agree, just be nice. At the point that
my stuff was, my travel was happening, and the interruptions
I got to the counter, I'll give you United a
shout out. I don't normally fly them, but they were great.
The computers were down, the kiosks were down, my app
was down. Fox was trying to get me on the flight,
but it kept saying when I could log on. Then
(04:02):
I was canceled. I couldn't tell this woman was so
great behind the counter because I couldn't do it on
the kiosk. It was taking forever. It was like the dialog.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
I don't feel about that word kiosk too.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
I like it. I keep saying it, so yeah, it's okay.
But then she brought me to behind the counter and
she's like, I thought that was you. I didn't want
to say anything. Oh, I love the podcast, love football
blah blah blah blah blah. Helped me out. I was like,
I'm so sorry, this has been a crap day. She
was like, no, the morning was worse, afternoon's been fine. Sweet,
nice to keep it's hactly fault and thanks for being
(04:35):
a listener. Yes, exactly, but no, I think that hopefully
as I grow older in situations, I'm finding that no, look,
if there's something an emergency and I needed to get
home for you know, whether it was I don't have kids,
but like, you know whatever, of course i'd be a
little bit more stressed out and you don't know what
even like travelers are going for Like I think about
people that are like traveling for maybe a trip that
(04:57):
they you know, haven't taken out of years, and then
it's like it gets canceled. Oh my gosh. I had
the people with all those kids that kids can't understand
a hotel or don't earnole's get to the hotel. That's
the shit I felt bad about. I was like all
these families laying there by the way, if you guys
weren't at the airport, you couldn't get into restaurants. If
you didn't have cash, you were screwed because the ATMs
(05:17):
didn't work. Like it was Mayhem, and you're exactly right.
I thought about, like, Okay, luckily I have the means
to get an uber and go get a hotel, so
I don't have to lay here. But anyways, I think
all in all, my takeaway from that situation is, whether
you're the employee or you're the fly or whatever, just
have some patients. Everyone's we're all in this together, and
the words of plot Griswold, no one's going anywhere really miserable.
(05:42):
We're all miserable. Okay, So that was why we missed
the podcast last week so we're back, and what else
has been happening? You have been trying to enjoy the
last bit of your break. You went to the rodeo.
How was the rodeo? Rodeo was great, had a great time,
got out to Candice and Sean shooting mish of the rodeo.
(06:04):
Had a wonderful time. But before that, we got to
see each other at the Fox NFL and College Football
seminar and was so great. I mean, we had one
of the nights. You made such a right call. We
were like, oh, where do we sit? Where do we sit?
Chris goes, Let's go right here with Howie and stray
Then Gronk comes, Julian comes, I have to Greg comes,
and it was just so much fun. We laughed so hard.
(06:27):
How he told the best stories. Drayhand was hilarious. Greg
was telling us the Christian McCaffrey Olivia Coulpol wedding star.
I mean, we were it was so funny. It was funny.
And I'm always reminded because shout out to Fox for
doing these and how important it is to get together
in the off season because we don't get to hang
(06:47):
out like studio and game crews. We don't hang out
all year because obviously we're in different locations. So I
think it, you know, and you are, you're an owner
of you own where and you have employees, and I
have like two employees for house and home, but I do.
I'm reminded that is very beneficial for the camaraderie of
the group, to get everyone together and to do those
(07:07):
kinds of things, and not all companies do that. So
I appreciate Fox for that, because just spending time with
people that yeah, you work with them, but they're also
your family is the best. Like it felt like a
family reunion whenever we do that. So enjoyed that. Didn't
enjoy my hangover, but but it was so much fun.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
It's sometimes it's worth it. Until the flight got canceled.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
And Manning, oh my god, here we go, wait for it,
stitching stitches Cooper Manning, as you can imagine, so hysterical.
I don't know. I wish we could tell half the stories.
That's always annoying too, when you're like, oh, there's so
many funny stories we can't tell.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I'd like to keep my job anyways, But it was
a good time.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
One of the stories we can tell was Commissioner Roger
Goodell is always great in after him and see us
at the seminar. He did a great Q and A
with Eric Shanks, the president of Fox Sports, and then
afterwards hangs around and whether he not whether or not
he wanted to be accosted by Carissa and I. I
think he did because he stayed around with us for
a while. We started talking about, Yeah, he got cornered,
(08:13):
but I went in, but went in Roger. I almost
called him when my flight was delayed or canceled. I
was like, Hi, commission anyway, you could drop me off
in Montana. But for you Swifties and for you non
Swifties and whoever else cares about Super Bowl halftime, Carissa
and I did the best we could about delivering our
(08:37):
closing or opening and closing remarks about why the NFL
has to have this year Taylor Swift as their Super
Bowl halftime. Would you like to indulge the audience in
a couple of reasons why we think now is the time? Well,
Fox has it. We want it. Well selfishly, we want her,
(08:58):
as you guys all know our finity for Taylor, but
we want it because it's Fox's Super Bowl. But also
on the heels of all of the nonsense from last year,
the chads and dads that didn't want her to be
shown on television. But I don't know, maybe bringing in
not only the revenue but also the new audience of
young women or girls or boys that didn't watch but
(09:21):
love her. Anyways, it's just she's never done it, and
obviously and there's no bigger star in the world. There's
no bigger star in the world, and so it's like, look,
does she need to do that?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
No, of course doesn't need to do it. But this
is what we were talking about.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Michael Jackson didn't need to do the halftime super performance,
but he did. Whitney Houston didn't need to sing the
national anthem, but she did. If you I feel like Taylor,
if you're listening, your resume is full of everything. You
have done it all, But don't you want to also
say that you have performed at a Super Bowl halftime
And if you have it your way, and the Kansas
(09:58):
City Chiefs have it their way, it'll be at your
boyfriend's game. Well, they looked to three p for the
first time ever in the history of the league, so
it'd be a culmination of things that have never been
done before, a three p if they win and you
performing at halftime, and there's no better time there's I mean, yes,
she does everything right, so I'm sure she'll have a
great explanation, but I don't know. I will be doing
(10:20):
the super Bowl with a broken heart if she doesn't
do halftime because I'm miserable. But I just feel like
coming off of this, and again Chris has said it,
the dads, the brads, the chads, it'd be amazing. Carissa, myself,
Steve and Jarrett because Steve and Jarrett want us to
(10:41):
shut up have been manifesting this, I mean, won't leave
each other in our group chat voice notes about Steve
will go you guys, she has to and I'm like,
I follow up, there's no better time, guys, there's if
not now one if not now, when you'll have some
time off after the tour, which again we talked about
it on the pre game. We have so many questions
how that girl night after night, But again we won't
(11:02):
go down that rabbit hole. Taylor, you need to do
the super Bowl just you need to go on a
date with Travis. So if this all comes to fruition,
are you performing right now?
Speaker 2 (11:11):
What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
I can do no. I think somebody's coming up my stairs.
The lighting here is horrific. Hold on with somebody coming up?
Or are you just barking like a crazy animal. Nope,
I'm going to go here now we're going and action.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Hey, we go back to your to your name, Yes, yep.
So Taylor, I know that you obviously have other things
going on right now, but if you get this message,
we would love for you to perform at the super Bowl,
so then we can interview you. Please, Michael Strahan, I
know you always get to do the big interviews, but
you're gonna have to sit this one out, okay. And
here's the thing we don't want to well, first of all, Taylor,
(11:46):
if you get this, please come on, come on book swifties.
I mean you people have power out there. Come on,
time to start infesting. Also, by the way, I know
you did because we dm each other everything from our
concert Munich. Did you see those fans on that hill off, Yes,
it were so magical, all of it. Okay, So Taylor,
(12:14):
we need you to perform at the super Bowl and
that's that.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
So we'll look forward to it.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
And before that, we've got the season coming up, which
we're very excited about. I know we've joked like kind
of throughout the quote off season, I don't you love
the people like, oh, would you do this? Off season?
Off season? It's fun, It's actually great. I love how
busy we are because, look, there's going to be a
time in life. As Scott Thompson always likes to remind me,
that people won't call for you to do things and
(12:41):
you won't be busy. So being busy is good. But
I was just thinking about this as I was like
looking for my hotel room where I just got to
a Nashville room, and I was like, oh my god
that you know, I have a real problem when there's
carpet and we're rolling the suitcase and it's like the
end of the hall and it's so hard. You guys,
I want to start a petition. Why do we put
(13:01):
carpets in airports? Why? I don't know airports, but I
think in hotels it's become noise acoustics. Yeah, could it
be for airports as well? I don't know. It's just
that suitcase and we're rolling it around. Although yeah, I
have so many things, you know, we should do a
whole podcast, which we do anyways on just airport like
(13:23):
positives and negatives of things. Because what I was just thinking,
that's our podcast every week, I know, because I was
just thinking about how my Steve is with me right now,
and he was taking liberties with the size of the
suitcase and I was like, that's not going to fit
in the overhead and he's like, sure, is it's going
to fit. It's like the overhead. I wish that there
was like a universal size of the overhead because sometimes
(13:46):
my bag fits in one, but then it won't fit
the other. And I hate being the person that's like
cramming it in when I'm like, it fit on the
last flight, but I don't know, it's a whole thing. Hey,
I'm gonna take a turn here. Yeah, please to be
a little bit more serious. We talked about this on
the pregame show Perspective. The reason why I thought of
this is our girlfriend Julian Gregory, who does our makeup
(14:10):
and is also our really good friend. She always complains
about the carpet and airports. Why because she's slepping around
her bags and she's slepting around our makeup, and she
is about a peanut a size of a peanut. And
she's amazing, And yeah, she's fantastic. We always have fun
about our voice and the funny stuff she says. But
today I was very, very very proud of our girl
(14:33):
and I would like to give her a shout out
for that. Our girl found out last year that she
actually had the Baraka gene, and as she explains in
her Instagram that gene basically means the chance of getting
breast cancer. It's about an eighty five percent chance in
her lifetime, which she explained was a little too high
for her and for a lot of people. As Chrisa knows,
she has gone through hell over the last twelve months,
(14:56):
getting a series of surgeries. Yeah, and she wrote in
her Instagram post the last year definitely has been hard,
but the alternative could have been much worse, and she
encourages girls to go and look after yourself, go for
your mam or graham, ultrasounds, blood tests, all that. I
am so proud of you. I love you so much.
This has been a horrific experience for her, but I
(15:19):
think she's learned a lot and I love that she
put that out there today. Yeah, Jill's we love you,
and I think it's also great what you just said
that she reminded people that being preventative, and we talked
about it before, just health. If you don't have it,
you have nothing else. And you know, unfortunately she had
to go through that. But I do think that no
matter what you go through in your life, and you've
(15:39):
had to go through your own hell with cervical cancer
and even with infertility and different things that you've had
to go through, and how hopefully when things like seem
to be hard and then you put it in perspective,
you're like, oh, but I can do that. And sometimes
I remember somebody telling me one time, like it's boring,
You're boring if you don't have adversity in your life.
Whatever that has looked like like you become I'm a
(16:00):
more interesting person when you know what you're capable of
going through. So I think that hopefully Jillian, and I
know she won't say this about herself, but I think
that she's grown a lot as a person having to
go through adversity because if it doesn't, you know whatever,
as the expression goes blank you because I'm not going
to say that, I don't like say and kill you.
It makes you stronger. But it does. And I'm really
(16:21):
proud of her too, So Jill's shout out and that's
a reminder.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
I need to get a mammogram. I haven't had one.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
To go. I also have to make a cancer appointment too,
and I hate it so much. It's the worst thing
because it's the worst and you have to go every year.
Yeah yeah, And really the hardest part of it is
that the waiting rooms are just packed, yeah, and you
just realize how awful this disease is, and there's obviously
people in such worse shape than you, And I'm like,
(16:48):
why am I having so much anxiety when these people
are just obvious they look worse, you know, they feel worse.
So it's tough. I always treat myself to McDonald's drive
through afterwards because I feel like shit, and I'm like,
I you can McNugget with sweet and sour sauce right now.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
That's sweet and sour sauce, though I did that the
other day with barbecue.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Side note the air that gets stuck in there and
I open it and it's spread right on me, oh yeah,
or on your seering mill and you're trying to lick it. Off,
you'll never wet wipe and it's like it's no words.
Now the crumbs from the chicken McNugget are in the seats,
although the snacks or in the holes. Yeah, eat those
car No, I could see you not. No, we don't
(17:29):
need to eat the car. Well, there's no reason to like,
we're getting we're going home. We're fine. It's not like
we're going these long, like six hour trips. You know what,
I think my mom and dad got me. They're big
infomercial shoppers for Christmas, which always kills you because it's
the ship that you wanted to try. They got the
seat like in between guards so you don't drop a
(17:50):
French fry down there or like a random chicken mcnug
that you're on the four five and you're like, shit,
I can't get your hands in there.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Why do I have this? Why do I have this
great right here in my hand?
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Because I was digging in trying to get I was
messing with my ring and it fell in there, and
I was like no, and so I'm digging down in
the hall. Would have had that if I had the
little uh bumpers bumpers in the side forget a bowling Alley. Yeah.
I love that they're infomercial shoppers. Oh my god, they're
so good at it.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
The copper hose.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
The guy from uh him the toolman, Taylor, his friend
whatever his name was on the show. He's advertising this
copper hose. This is when you know you're old and
you have a ranch. I want the hose that doesn't
twist up. And it's like, you don't have that kink
in the hose because when I'm.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Out there watering, I don't want to have to then.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
So I went to order it and I was like, next, see,
he goes absolutely not, You're not getting that.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
I was like why, I was like, I want that hose.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
I'm getting it. Who's he to tell me what I
can get? You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (18:51):
The Wrongko food dehydrator. I used to love that.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
And the bron hand blender. Remember the chop guy or
the sham Wow guy. I know those knives were incredible too,
Or how about the doo that like you could put
a cylinder block on your wall and it was holding.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Come on.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
I always thought that I would be really good on
like a home shopping network because my enthusiasm for the
product would be so good I'd be like, you are
losing money by not buying this. That happened to me
at home Goods the other day, and I thought about you,
because when you and Jarrett went to home goods, you
hate that experience. It's my dream because when I leave
a home Goods and I find these amazing items, I
think to myself, what would I have done if I
(19:29):
didn't go in there and I didn't have these, And
I'm like, I think they're like rare treasures. It's like
I used to go garage sailing with my grandma when
I was younger, and I would leave the garage show
and be like, oh my god, I'm the luckiest girl
in the world. Like I have these items and wonder
if I hadn't stopped at that garage sale. Yeah, I
just love it. I feel it's garage shale shopping. But
with new stuff. You can never find a matching pair
(19:49):
at home. You just gotta have the pay there's no
matching pair. Well it's not gonna just show up three
days later. There's no show up on Aisle four. People
just start throwing that crap down in different aisles. You
don't like that either. There should be rule you got
to put it back where you put it you found it. No,
no like that. What is the song you sing to
mac is? I kept putting It's clean, it's tip a
(20:11):
cleana and so things away. My kids saw his first
like wildlife the other day.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
What a time.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
We were driving at the zoo. Oh no, there was
out and he was just like and it was your
mouth open so big. You were in the car, you
were walking and oh god. Speaking of infomercial things, there
(20:44):
is on box news. There's they're always advertising my pillow,
my pillowcase, my pillow. So is he in trouble or something?
I don't know? I am well if I don't, I
don't get on my pillow. Because some of our headlines
we're gonna I've right into the headline is pillowcases can
be dirtier than the toilet during summer experts.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Waw, this already grows, is there and now it grosses
us all out?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Your pillowcases could be considered dirtier than toilet. The good
news is the bacteria are very likely to be from you. Ew.
I can imagine what my makeup brush is like. I mean,
if my pillow is dirtier than my toilet, what's my
makeup brush? Well, how about the fact is the makeup
brush I think I shoul showed you this seminar I
did in my purse right here. Actually it's probably right here.
(21:32):
Come on, let's just see if it's still in here.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
This is so gross.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Dominique gets so mad at me, so does Jillian. Normally
there's a makeup brush in there. Not in this case.
Oh yeah it is. Look here, it is disgusting, No,
disgusting in the bottom of this right with the gum
and the hair thing and the wrapper that was left
over from the minx steck out the breath right the
money right, Oh, because this seems like it's clean, right,
(21:57):
just put that right next to that disgusting anyway, seminar
is And I'm gonna have to when I get home,
you know, go get some help on this. Dealing with
the worst chin acne of my life, the worst, And
as Christ knows, I was NonStop, like if I saw
a little bit of a white head, like I was
picking it there, then I was adding more. I was
so lucky I left the Fox NFL Seminar without a
(22:20):
massive staff infection because the amount of nasty shit I
was doing to try to deal with my acne. This
is what she's doing there, sitting there, Brady, and I'm like, sorry,
you're not gonna get to see this all year.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Like this is classic Aaron.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
We're sitting there having a beverage and she decides to
pull out her compact. She has now wiped her chin
and she's reapplying the concealer and I'm like the lemon.
Oh my god. Now it's not the time, okay, but
guess what, go for it.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
That's what we do.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
We are a massacres. We have issues. It's so bad.
Oh as we jump back into headlines only because this
one really suck out to me, this is my new
favorite thing. No no readout doing it. Julia Louis Dreyfus
and Jane Fonda embracing no as an answer from her
podcast Wiser than Me. Julia Louis Dreyfus asked Jane Fonda
(23:12):
what advice she would give her twenty one year old self.
Fonda said, no is a complete sentence. It's Curia. Love
the response and talked to Jennenhood about it, particularly women.
I think sort of daunted by a no is a
complete sentence. I'm telling you there is so much power
as I shake this table. I used to be so
afraid of not wanting to be high mania's I still do.
(23:35):
I like to be a gal that is considered easy
to work with. Uh. She goes with the flow like
that's fine. But I have taken back a little bit
of the power. Instead of like inconveniencing myself just to
accommodate other people, I now say no. Like when someone
said to me today, they're like, oh, can we jump
on a call today? I go, no, we can't jump
(23:56):
on a call. We can jump on a call tomorrow.
That's convenient from me and that works for my schedule.
Because the old me used to do everything I could
to accommodate other people. And honestly, where does that get you? Like,
there's time and a place to be compliant and go
Like if I boss twenties, I was yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
yes right yes right. If our boss is calling like hey,
(24:19):
I need to talk to you, of course the answer
is going to be yes. But if it's something that's
not urgent or even not in your case, because you
were checking on my well being and I appreciate that,
but like I don't respond to text right away. I don't.
I don't I need to do that because it's like,
it's not urgent. It's not and I'm not going to
just rush to answer your question because you want the
(24:41):
answer right then. Like so, yeah, the no thing is
really good for me, and it's actually giving me a
lot of I don't know peace in my life by
saying no to things and not feeling bad. I love
all I got good for you. That's amazing. You want
to so I've been working on that. You also have
some things that you want to work on. Oh yeah,
(25:03):
So I told Tracy Meniscus that we were going to
give her a shout out. By the way, she signed
a book for you, her new book, book thirteen. I
think it's like thirteen three to thirteen, a new book
she came out with. But Tracy is a friend out
in Montana that Carissa has met. I will tell you
this woman, great Louis Vauton, what great presence. I looked
(25:27):
at her one night out here in Montana, the way
she walked, the way she held herself. And I called
Chrissa the next day when she was taking my calls
and my text messages, and I said, these are three
things I want to work on for this season. My posture.
Tracy with her shoulders back, she just floats her saunter.
(25:49):
I want to saunter on the field. Now, I walk
with a purpose. I also walk like a dude. And
I also like sometimes I'm like, I'm.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Just gonna walk in and not, you know, stand out.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
When it's like what I whatever. I'm on the field
with Kevin Burkhart, Tom Brady like, it's fine, we're going
to stick out. Great, I am going to have posture.
I'm going to saunter and I am going to chew
my gum with my mouth closed. Look at that here
here hereat season to a new season. Posture is something
(26:20):
that I definitely think about. And even as you just
said posture, I immediately went like this and put my
shoulders back. It does feel better.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
When you have good posture and it looks so it
looks so good.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
This very real. Well, you and I are complaining about
our neck issues because we're old. But if you have
a better posture and you keep your chin up, you
know what, it's that number one thing of these goddamn phones.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
This is why my neck looks like this.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Because it's knocking down I gotta up here, up here
with it. It's on. I'm excited about this. I'm excited
for you to your saunter, your posture, all of the things.
I am still in the process, like Joe Burrow, of
figuring out what my hairstyle is going to be.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Did you see this, cutie? I'm into it? You know what?
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Do you? Joe? And also, by the way, for those
of you that have to make your weird remarks, who
are you? First of all? And second of all, just
do you? Why can't everybody have fun? Aaron Rodgers always
starts the season with a big mustache, like he's in
pre season with that, Like why do we have boring
all the time? I don't know? And I love his
comment when you're like, why'd you dye your hair like that?
(27:30):
And for those of you that don't know, Joe Burrow,
quarterback of the Cincinnati Bengals. He dyed his hair like
platinum blonde. He looks great and he just goes I
get bored, Joe. I get it. I put extensions in
for these shoots I had to do, and I'm about
twenty minutes from doing this event I have to go
do and I'm gonna rip them all out because I
already hate it. I get bored too. I don't know
what I'm doing. I like short, I like long, I
(27:53):
like dark, I like blonde. I was thinking about it
the other day. Maybe I want to like I'm, by
the way, a marketing person's nightmare because they just paid
this money for this marketing shoot, and now I'm like,
I think I want to go darker and short. We
read like, fuck my Jesus Christ, get it together, crosap.
But good for you, Joe. Everyone just needs to do
what makes them happy. But don't you just love that
everyone has to have an opinion on everything? This is
(28:17):
I do want to say people, yeah, the people that
just make the comments. It's like, what if Joe Burrow
got behind the old microphone and made a comment about
what you like? That's imagine. Oh my gosh, it would
be a big ordeal. And he can't talk about this
person like that. I just why are we being gross?
(28:39):
Why are we just doing that? I mean, it goes
along with We talked about it a few minutes ago
when we were coming back on for the big show
about the report about from who is It? Some source
and NFL executives said one of the more over. Josh
Allen is one of the more overrated players in the NFL.
And what this was he Army Fowler. I guess from
(29:01):
ESPN had a source. I just my sources are funny,
aren't they so funny? Anonymous? I'll leave that alone because
I get in trouble for being too honest. So there's that.
And the GM said there are idiots everywhere, like, come on,
if you're going to say something by that, say with
(29:21):
your chest like take ownership. I'm afraid so I'm gonna
see something mean. It's like shut up.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
And with that, Welcome back to the Calm Down Podcast.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Everybody. We have missed you for comments, questions and concerns,

So Taylor, I know that you obviously have other things
going on right now, but if you get this message,
we would love for you to perform at the super Bowl.
Calm Down with Erin and Carissa is a production of iHeartRadio.
Welcome everybody to the Calm Down Podcast. Aaron's got a
story she's never told me, or that's a lie. You listen.
(00:23):
It was a one o'clock kick on Fox. Joe Buck,
Troy Aikman, Aaron Andrews with the call, and we come on. Yeah, no,
it's one o'clock, so you know, Kurt throws it. We're somewhere,
and we were if we were in Philly and they
kick off, and Joe goes, no, no, right for the kickoff.
Joe goes, oh, everybody, welcome to Philadelvia. Let's take it
(00:44):
out of the New York Giants, and then the words
a tone low, Let's do it myself. I thought that
was so funny. Let's do it like I just texted
Joe right away. I'm like, I'm crying so good. Oh
my god, what a group. And with that, we welcome you.
It has been two weeks since we have talked to you. Guys.
(01:04):
We were off one week, and then I had the
airplane democle along with the rest of the world that
was traveling, which is so crazy. Our dependency on technology
is scary. I mean, I'm not saying anything we don't know,
but like the fact that, like what I kept thinking
about is like, look, you know, everyone knows that the
whole system that went down when it affected airports, it
(01:28):
affected hospitals, and that's what I was thinking about. Like banks,
then I was thinking about, like, wonder ifull you wake
up in the morning and like you look at your
bank account and all the money's gone, It's like, wouldn't
you freak out? And it's like, oh no, we're having
a technical issue. Like this is why I don't trust crypto,
because I'm like, one day it just be gone and
like there's a glitch, and like anything that I ever
had is gone. But anyways, in this particular case, all
(01:48):
that was gone was me getting home in time to
do the podcast because there was delays and delays and delays.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
But here's the thing. We talk about this a lot
on here. It is not the flight attendant's fault.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
It is not the pilot's fault, It is not the
ticket agent's fault that the operating system went down. So
these people went ballistic. On this plane, there was a
contingent of about four couples. There's these two on your plane,
on my plane, these two couples, and they were too
old to be acting this way. Let me just say
that they were like, we are being held hostage. And
I wanted to be like, first of all, oh, don't
(02:21):
you dare use that term ever. Ever, Okay, because what
we know is going on in the world, that is
insane behavior to act like that and say that phrase.
And don't yell at the flight attendant. You think that
this is her, You think that she you know what
she thought to herself when she woke up in the morning.
You know what I want to do? Be stuck on
a plane with these people? No, so knock it off.
So make the most of the situation, which again is
(02:42):
not ideal. And this is where I think I'm getting
a lot better in life. And I will give Steve
credit for this. The old me would have been like fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck,
Now you know what I do? What are you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Like, surrendering to a situation is just so much better.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
So you know what I did. I was like, I'm
going to organiz all the pictures on my phone that
are always all over the place and I can't find
them in an album because I go to show you
some things in the ranch and I'm scrolling back and
I can't find anything. So I organized photos. Steve and
I had a little nice, you know, date whatever on
their FaceTime thing, like just make the most of the situation. So, yeah,
(03:18):
as much as I miss being with you guys, we're back.
I loved how you handle that with your attitude. So
you got it a lot worse than I did. The
day it actually happened. That Friday, I was trying to
fly home from LA and I woke up to so
many text messages like this is bad. Everything's canceled. I
was able to get home that night. It took me
like literally twenty four hours, but I got home. You
(03:40):
paid a half your price. That was nuts for you,
but I agree, just be nice. At the point that
my stuff was, my travel was happening, and the interruptions
I got to the counter, I'll give you United a
shout out. I don't normally fly them, but they were great.
The computers were down, the kiosks were down, my app
was down. Fox was trying to get me on the flight,
but it kept saying when I could log on. Then
(04:02):
I was canceled. I couldn't tell this woman was so
great behind the counter because I couldn't do it on
the kiosk. It was taking forever. It was like the dialog.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
I don't feel about that word kiosk too.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
I like it. I keep saying it, so yeah, it's okay.
But then she brought me to behind the counter and
she's like, I thought that was you. I didn't want
to say anything. Oh, I love the podcast, love football
blah blah blah blah blah. Helped me out. I was like,
I'm so sorry, this has been a crap day. She
was like, no, the morning was worse, afternoon's been fine. Sweet,
nice to keep it's hactly fault and thanks for being
(04:35):
a listener. Yes, exactly, but no, I think that hopefully
as I grow older in situations, I'm finding that no, look,
if there's something an emergency and I needed to get
home for you know, whether it was I don't have kids,
but like, you know whatever, of course i'd be a
little bit more stressed out and you don't know what
even like travelers are going for Like I think about
people that are like traveling for maybe a trip that
(04:57):
they you know, haven't taken out of years, and then
it's like it gets canceled. Oh my gosh. I had
the people with all those kids that kids can't understand
a hotel or don't earnole's get to the hotel. That's
the shit I felt bad about. I was like all
these families laying there by the way, if you guys
weren't at the airport, you couldn't get into restaurants. If
you didn't have cash, you were screwed because the ATMs
(05:17):
didn't work. Like it was Mayhem, and you're exactly right.
I thought about, like, Okay, luckily I have the means
to get an uber and go get a hotel, so
I don't have to lay here. But anyways, I think
all in all, my takeaway from that situation is, whether
you're the employee or you're the fly or whatever, just
have some patients. Everyone's we're all in this together, and
the words of plot Griswold, no one's going anywhere really miserable.
(05:42):
We're all miserable. Okay, So that was why we missed
the podcast last week so we're back, and what else
has been happening? You have been trying to enjoy the
last bit of your break. You went to the rodeo.
How was the rodeo? Rodeo was great, had a great time,
got out to Candice and Sean shooting mish of the rodeo.
(06:04):
Had a wonderful time. But before that, we got to
see each other at the Fox NFL and College Football
seminar and was so great. I mean, we had one
of the nights. You made such a right call. We
were like, oh, where do we sit? Where do we sit?
Chris goes, Let's go right here with Howie and stray
Then Gronk comes, Julian comes, I have to Greg comes,
and it was just so much fun. We laughed so hard.
(06:27):
How he told the best stories. Drayhand was hilarious. Greg
was telling us the Christian McCaffrey Olivia Coulpol wedding star.
I mean, we were it was so funny. It was funny.
And I'm always reminded because shout out to Fox for
doing these and how important it is to get together
in the off season because we don't get to hang
(06:47):
out like studio and game crews. We don't hang out
all year because obviously we're in different locations. So I
think it, you know, and you are, you're an owner
of you own where and you have employees, and I
have like two employees for house and home, but I do.
I'm reminded that is very beneficial for the camaraderie of
the group, to get everyone together and to do those
(07:07):
kinds of things, and not all companies do that. So
I appreciate Fox for that, because just spending time with
people that yeah, you work with them, but they're also
your family is the best. Like it felt like a
family reunion whenever we do that. So enjoyed that. Didn't
enjoy my hangover, but but it was so much fun.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
It's sometimes it's worth it. Until the flight got canceled.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
And Manning, oh my god, here we go, wait for it,
stitching stitches Cooper Manning, as you can imagine, so hysterical.
I don't know. I wish we could tell half the stories.
That's always annoying too, when you're like, oh, there's so
many funny stories we can't tell.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I'd like to keep my job anyways, But it was
a good time.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
One of the stories we can tell was Commissioner Roger
Goodell is always great in after him and see us
at the seminar. He did a great Q and A
with Eric Shanks, the president of Fox Sports, and then
afterwards hangs around and whether he not whether or not
he wanted to be accosted by Carissa and I. I
think he did because he stayed around with us for
a while. We started talking about, Yeah, he got cornered,
(08:13):
but I went in, but went in Roger. I almost
called him when my flight was delayed or canceled. I
was like, Hi, commission anyway, you could drop me off
in Montana. But for you Swifties and for you non
Swifties and whoever else cares about Super Bowl halftime, Carissa
and I did the best we could about delivering our
(08:37):
closing or opening and closing remarks about why the NFL
has to have this year Taylor Swift as their Super
Bowl halftime. Would you like to indulge the audience in
a couple of reasons why we think now is the time? Well,
Fox has it. We want it. Well selfishly, we want her,
(08:58):
as you guys all know our finity for Taylor, but
we want it because it's Fox's Super Bowl. But also
on the heels of all of the nonsense from last year,
the chads and dads that didn't want her to be
shown on television. But I don't know, maybe bringing in
not only the revenue but also the new audience of
young women or girls or boys that didn't watch but
(09:21):
love her. Anyways, it's just she's never done it, and
obviously and there's no bigger star in the world. There's
no bigger star in the world, and so it's like, look,
does she need to do that?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
No, of course doesn't need to do it. But this
is what we were talking about.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Michael Jackson didn't need to do the halftime super performance,
but he did. Whitney Houston didn't need to sing the
national anthem, but she did. If you I feel like Taylor,
if you're listening, your resume is full of everything. You
have done it all, But don't you want to also
say that you have performed at a Super Bowl halftime
And if you have it your way, and the Kansas
(09:58):
City Chiefs have it their way, it'll be at your
boyfriend's game. Well, they looked to three p for the
first time ever in the history of the league, so
it'd be a culmination of things that have never been
done before, a three p if they win and you
performing at halftime, and there's no better time there's I mean, yes,
she does everything right, so I'm sure she'll have a
great explanation, but I don't know. I will be doing
(10:20):
the super Bowl with a broken heart if she doesn't
do halftime because I'm miserable. But I just feel like
coming off of this, and again Chris has said it,
the dads, the brads, the chads, it'd be amazing. Carissa, myself,
Steve and Jarrett because Steve and Jarrett want us to
(10:41):
shut up have been manifesting this, I mean, won't leave
each other in our group chat voice notes about Steve
will go you guys, she has to and I'm like,
I follow up, there's no better time, guys, there's if
not now one if not now, when you'll have some
time off after the tour, which again we talked about
it on the pre game. We have so many questions
how that girl night after night, But again we won't
(11:02):
go down that rabbit hole. Taylor, you need to do
the super Bowl just you need to go on a
date with Travis. So if this all comes to fruition,
are you performing right now?
Speaker 2 (11:11):
What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
I can do no. I think somebody's coming up my stairs.
The lighting here is horrific. Hold on with somebody coming up?
Or are you just barking like a crazy animal. Nope,
I'm going to go here now we're going and action.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Hey, we go back to your to your name, Yes, yep.
So Taylor, I know that you obviously have other things
going on right now, but if you get this message,
we would love for you to perform at the super Bowl,
so then we can interview you. Please, Michael Strahan, I
know you always get to do the big interviews, but
you're gonna have to sit this one out, okay. And
here's the thing we don't want to well, first of all, Taylor,
(11:46):
if you get this, please come on, come on book swifties.
I mean you people have power out there. Come on,
time to start infesting. Also, by the way, I know
you did because we dm each other everything from our
concert Munich. Did you see those fans on that hill off, Yes,
it were so magical, all of it. Okay, So Taylor,
(12:14):
we need you to perform at the super Bowl and
that's that.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
So we'll look forward to it.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
And before that, we've got the season coming up, which
we're very excited about. I know we've joked like kind
of throughout the quote off season, I don't you love
the people like, oh, would you do this? Off season?
Off season? It's fun, It's actually great. I love how
busy we are because, look, there's going to be a
time in life. As Scott Thompson always likes to remind me,
that people won't call for you to do things and
(12:41):
you won't be busy. So being busy is good. But
I was just thinking about this as I was like
looking for my hotel room where I just got to
a Nashville room, and I was like, oh my god
that you know, I have a real problem when there's
carpet and we're rolling the suitcase and it's like the
end of the hall and it's so hard. You guys,
I want to start a petition. Why do we put
(13:01):
carpets in airports? Why? I don't know airports, but I
think in hotels it's become noise acoustics. Yeah, could it
be for airports as well? I don't know. It's just
that suitcase and we're rolling it around. Although yeah, I
have so many things, you know, we should do a
whole podcast, which we do anyways on just airport like
(13:23):
positives and negatives of things. Because what I was just thinking,
that's our podcast every week, I know, because I was
just thinking about how my Steve is with me right now,
and he was taking liberties with the size of the
suitcase and I was like, that's not going to fit
in the overhead and he's like, sure, is it's going
to fit. It's like the overhead. I wish that there
was like a universal size of the overhead because sometimes
(13:46):
my bag fits in one, but then it won't fit
the other. And I hate being the person that's like
cramming it in when I'm like, it fit on the
last flight, but I don't know, it's a whole thing. Hey,
I'm gonna take a turn here. Yeah, please to be
a little bit more serious. We talked about this on
the pregame show Perspective. The reason why I thought of
this is our girlfriend Julian Gregory, who does our makeup
(14:10):
and is also our really good friend. She always complains
about the carpet and airports. Why because she's slepping around
her bags and she's slepting around our makeup, and she
is about a peanut a size of a peanut. And
she's amazing, And yeah, she's fantastic. We always have fun
about our voice and the funny stuff she says. But
today I was very, very very proud of our girl
(14:33):
and I would like to give her a shout out
for that. Our girl found out last year that she
actually had the Baraka gene, and as she explains in
her Instagram that gene basically means the chance of getting
breast cancer. It's about an eighty five percent chance in
her lifetime, which she explained was a little too high
for her and for a lot of people. As Chrisa knows,
she has gone through hell over the last twelve months,
(14:56):
getting a series of surgeries. Yeah, and she wrote in
her Instagram post the last year definitely has been hard,
but the alternative could have been much worse, and she
encourages girls to go and look after yourself, go for
your mam or graham, ultrasounds, blood tests, all that. I
am so proud of you. I love you so much.
This has been a horrific experience for her, but I
(15:19):
think she's learned a lot and I love that she
put that out there today. Yeah, Jill's we love you,
and I think it's also great what you just said
that she reminded people that being preventative, and we talked
about it before, just health. If you don't have it,
you have nothing else. And you know, unfortunately she had
to go through that. But I do think that no
matter what you go through in your life, and you've
(15:39):
had to go through your own hell with cervical cancer
and even with infertility and different things that you've had
to go through, and how hopefully when things like seem
to be hard and then you put it in perspective,
you're like, oh, but I can do that. And sometimes
I remember somebody telling me one time, like it's boring,
You're boring if you don't have adversity in your life.
Whatever that has looked like like you become I'm a
(16:00):
more interesting person when you know what you're capable of
going through. So I think that hopefully Jillian, and I
know she won't say this about herself, but I think
that she's grown a lot as a person having to
go through adversity because if it doesn't, you know whatever,
as the expression goes blank you because I'm not going
to say that, I don't like say and kill you.
It makes you stronger. But it does. And I'm really
(16:21):
proud of her too, So Jill's shout out and that's
a reminder.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
I need to get a mammogram. I haven't had one.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
To go. I also have to make a cancer appointment too,
and I hate it so much. It's the worst thing
because it's the worst and you have to go every year.
Yeah yeah, And really the hardest part of it is
that the waiting rooms are just packed, yeah, and you
just realize how awful this disease is, and there's obviously
people in such worse shape than you, And I'm like,
(16:48):
why am I having so much anxiety when these people
are just obvious they look worse, you know, they feel worse.
So it's tough. I always treat myself to McDonald's drive
through afterwards because I feel like shit, and I'm like,
I you can McNugget with sweet and sour sauce right now.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
That's sweet and sour sauce, though I did that the
other day with barbecue.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Side note the air that gets stuck in there and
I open it and it's spread right on me, oh yeah,
or on your seering mill and you're trying to lick it. Off,
you'll never wet wipe and it's like it's no words.
Now the crumbs from the chicken McNugget are in the seats,
although the snacks or in the holes. Yeah, eat those
car No, I could see you not. No, we don't
(17:29):
need to eat the car. Well, there's no reason to like,
we're getting we're going home. We're fine. It's not like
we're going these long, like six hour trips. You know what,
I think my mom and dad got me. They're big
infomercial shoppers for Christmas, which always kills you because it's
the ship that you wanted to try. They got the
seat like in between guards so you don't drop a
(17:50):
French fry down there or like a random chicken mcnug
that you're on the four five and you're like, shit,
I can't get your hands in there.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Why do I have this? Why do I have this
great right here in my hand?
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Because I was digging in trying to get I was
messing with my ring and it fell in there, and
I was like no, and so I'm digging down in
the hall. Would have had that if I had the
little uh bumpers bumpers in the side forget a bowling Alley. Yeah.
I love that they're infomercial shoppers. Oh my god, they're
so good at it.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
The copper hose.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
The guy from uh him the toolman, Taylor, his friend
whatever his name was on the show. He's advertising this
copper hose. This is when you know you're old and
you have a ranch. I want the hose that doesn't
twist up. And it's like, you don't have that kink
in the hose because when I'm.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Out there watering, I don't want to have to then.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
So I went to order it and I was like, next, see,
he goes absolutely not, You're not getting that.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
I was like why, I was like, I want that hose.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
I'm getting it. Who's he to tell me what I
can get? You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (18:51):
The Wrongko food dehydrator. I used to love that.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
And the bron hand blender. Remember the chop guy or
the sham Wow guy. I know those knives were incredible too,
Or how about the doo that like you could put
a cylinder block on your wall and it was holding.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Come on.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
I always thought that I would be really good on
like a home shopping network because my enthusiasm for the
product would be so good I'd be like, you are
losing money by not buying this. That happened to me
at home Goods the other day, and I thought about you,
because when you and Jarrett went to home goods, you
hate that experience. It's my dream because when I leave
a home Goods and I find these amazing items, I
think to myself, what would I have done if I
(19:29):
didn't go in there and I didn't have these, And
I'm like, I think they're like rare treasures. It's like
I used to go garage sailing with my grandma when
I was younger, and I would leave the garage show
and be like, oh my god, I'm the luckiest girl
in the world. Like I have these items and wonder
if I hadn't stopped at that garage sale. Yeah, I
just love it. I feel it's garage shale shopping. But
with new stuff. You can never find a matching pair
(19:49):
at home. You just gotta have the pay there's no
matching pair. Well it's not gonna just show up three
days later. There's no show up on Aisle four. People
just start throwing that crap down in different aisles. You
don't like that either. There should be rule you got
to put it back where you put it you found it. No,
no like that. What is the song you sing to
mac is? I kept putting It's clean, it's tip a
(20:11):
cleana and so things away. My kids saw his first
like wildlife the other day.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
What a time.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
We were driving at the zoo. Oh no, there was
out and he was just like and it was your
mouth open so big. You were in the car, you
were walking and oh god. Speaking of infomercial things, there
(20:44):
is on box news. There's they're always advertising my pillow,
my pillowcase, my pillow. So is he in trouble or something?
I don't know? I am well if I don't, I
don't get on my pillow. Because some of our headlines
we're gonna I've right into the headline is pillowcases can
be dirtier than the toilet during summer experts.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Waw, this already grows, is there and now it grosses
us all out?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Your pillowcases could be considered dirtier than toilet. The good
news is the bacteria are very likely to be from you. Ew.
I can imagine what my makeup brush is like. I mean,
if my pillow is dirtier than my toilet, what's my
makeup brush? Well, how about the fact is the makeup
brush I think I shoul showed you this seminar I
did in my purse right here. Actually it's probably right here.
(21:32):
Come on, let's just see if it's still in here.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
This is so gross.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Dominique gets so mad at me, so does Jillian. Normally
there's a makeup brush in there. Not in this case.
Oh yeah it is. Look here, it is disgusting, No,
disgusting in the bottom of this right with the gum
and the hair thing and the wrapper that was left
over from the minx steck out the breath right the
money right, Oh, because this seems like it's clean, right,
(21:57):
just put that right next to that disgusting anyway, seminar
is And I'm gonna have to when I get home,
you know, go get some help on this. Dealing with
the worst chin acne of my life, the worst, And
as Christ knows, I was NonStop, like if I saw
a little bit of a white head, like I was
picking it there, then I was adding more. I was
so lucky I left the Fox NFL Seminar without a
(22:20):
massive staff infection because the amount of nasty shit I
was doing to try to deal with my acne. This
is what she's doing there, sitting there, Brady, and I'm like, sorry,
you're not gonna get to see this all year.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Like this is classic Aaron.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
We're sitting there having a beverage and she decides to
pull out her compact. She has now wiped her chin
and she's reapplying the concealer and I'm like the lemon.
Oh my god. Now it's not the time, okay, but
guess what, go for it.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
That's what we do.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
We are a massacres. We have issues. It's so bad.
Oh as we jump back into headlines only because this
one really suck out to me, this is my new
favorite thing. No no readout doing it. Julia Louis Dreyfus
and Jane Fonda embracing no as an answer from her
podcast Wiser than Me. Julia Louis Dreyfus asked Jane Fonda
(23:12):
what advice she would give her twenty one year old self.
Fonda said, no is a complete sentence. It's Curia. Love
the response and talked to Jennenhood about it, particularly women.
I think sort of daunted by a no is a
complete sentence. I'm telling you there is so much power
as I shake this table. I used to be so
afraid of not wanting to be high mania's I still do.
(23:35):
I like to be a gal that is considered easy
to work with. Uh. She goes with the flow like
that's fine. But I have taken back a little bit
of the power. Instead of like inconveniencing myself just to
accommodate other people, I now say no. Like when someone
said to me today, they're like, oh, can we jump
on a call today? I go, no, we can't jump
(23:56):
on a call. We can jump on a call tomorrow.
That's convenient from me and that works for my schedule.
Because the old me used to do everything I could
to accommodate other people. And honestly, where does that get you? Like,
there's time and a place to be compliant and go
Like if I boss twenties, I was yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
yes right yes right. If our boss is calling like hey,
(24:19):
I need to talk to you, of course the answer
is going to be yes. But if it's something that's
not urgent or even not in your case, because you
were checking on my well being and I appreciate that,
but like I don't respond to text right away. I don't.
I don't I need to do that because it's like,
it's not urgent. It's not and I'm not going to
just rush to answer your question because you want the
(24:41):
answer right then. Like so, yeah, the no thing is
really good for me, and it's actually giving me a
lot of I don't know peace in my life by
saying no to things and not feeling bad. I love
all I got good for you. That's amazing. You want
to so I've been working on that. You also have
some things that you want to work on. Oh yeah,
(25:03):
So I told Tracy Meniscus that we were going to
give her a shout out. By the way, she signed
a book for you, her new book, book thirteen. I
think it's like thirteen three to thirteen, a new book
she came out with. But Tracy is a friend out
in Montana that Carissa has met. I will tell you
this woman, great Louis Vauton, what great presence. I looked
(25:27):
at her one night out here in Montana, the way
she walked, the way she held herself. And I called
Chrissa the next day when she was taking my calls
and my text messages, and I said, these are three
things I want to work on for this season. My posture.
Tracy with her shoulders back, she just floats her saunter.
(25:49):
I want to saunter on the field. Now, I walk
with a purpose. I also walk like a dude. And
I also like sometimes I'm like, I'm.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Just gonna walk in and not, you know, stand out.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
When it's like what I whatever. I'm on the field
with Kevin Burkhart, Tom Brady like, it's fine, we're going
to stick out. Great, I am going to have posture.
I'm going to saunter and I am going to chew
my gum with my mouth closed. Look at that here
here hereat season to a new season. Posture is something
(26:20):
that I definitely think about. And even as you just
said posture, I immediately went like this and put my
shoulders back. It does feel better.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
When you have good posture and it looks so it
looks so good.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
This very real. Well, you and I are complaining about
our neck issues because we're old. But if you have
a better posture and you keep your chin up, you
know what, it's that number one thing of these goddamn phones.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
This is why my neck looks like this.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Because it's knocking down I gotta up here, up here
with it. It's on. I'm excited about this. I'm excited
for you to your saunter, your posture, all of the things.
I am still in the process, like Joe Burrow, of
figuring out what my hairstyle is going to be.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Did you see this, cutie? I'm into it? You know what?
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Do you? Joe? And also, by the way, for those
of you that have to make your weird remarks, who
are you? First of all? And second of all, just
do you? Why can't everybody have fun? Aaron Rodgers always
starts the season with a big mustache, like he's in
pre season with that, Like why do we have boring
all the time? I don't know? And I love his
comment when you're like, why'd you dye your hair like that?
(27:30):
And for those of you that don't know, Joe Burrow,
quarterback of the Cincinnati Bengals. He dyed his hair like
platinum blonde. He looks great and he just goes I
get bored, Joe. I get it. I put extensions in
for these shoots I had to do, and I'm about
twenty minutes from doing this event I have to go
do and I'm gonna rip them all out because I
already hate it. I get bored too. I don't know
what I'm doing. I like short, I like long, I
(27:53):
like dark, I like blonde. I was thinking about it
the other day. Maybe I want to like I'm, by
the way, a marketing person's nightmare because they just paid
this money for this marketing shoot, and now I'm like,
I think I want to go darker and short. We
read like, fuck my Jesus Christ, get it together, crosap.
But good for you, Joe. Everyone just needs to do
what makes them happy. But don't you just love that
everyone has to have an opinion on everything? This is
(28:17):
I do want to say people, yeah, the people that
just make the comments. It's like, what if Joe Burrow
got behind the old microphone and made a comment about
what you like? That's imagine. Oh my gosh, it would
be a big ordeal. And he can't talk about this
person like that. I just why are we being gross?
(28:39):
Why are we just doing that? I mean, it goes
along with We talked about it a few minutes ago
when we were coming back on for the big show
about the report about from who is It? Some source
and NFL executives said one of the more over. Josh
Allen is one of the more overrated players in the NFL.
And what this was he Army Fowler. I guess from
(29:01):
ESPN had a source. I just my sources are funny,
aren't they so funny? Anonymous? I'll leave that alone because
I get in trouble for being too honest. So there's that.
And the GM said there are idiots everywhere, like, come on,
if you're going to say something by that, say with
(29:21):
your chest like take ownership. I'm afraid so I'm gonna
see something mean. It's like shut up.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
