Speaker 1 (00:00):
And he's like looking at me in the interview, and
I just was thinking, God, I wonder if he's like, Wow,
she's really fucking age. Calm down with Erin and Chrissa
is a production of iHeartRadio. Hell yeah, hell yeah, hell yeah.
You know what works for me. Welcome to our pregame, everybody.

(00:23):
When I still have the same slipped back do I
had yesterday, but my part is very sunburned. Wow, my
hair is turning orange in the sun. Part of it
is my hair from yesterday. I did a body wash
because you know, I can't go to bed and get
in a bed without a shower. But I did not
wash my hair because I'm trying to be better about

(00:43):
not washing it every five seconds so it doesn't fall out.
So what, Yeah, you look so hot yesterday. Oh, let's
dress bring it down. Everything was great. Speaking of hot,
you audibled out of that leather outfit. Huh, thank god
it Loo's great red Rover, Red Rover. Send us both
right over on a Sunday. I'm good with it, you

(01:05):
know what I mean. But audibleed out you couldn't do it.
You were like, I'm not risking it that we had
this great shot I did the forty nine ers hosting
the Kansas City Chiefs game yesterday, Hail to the Chiefs,
and we had a shot because the Chiefs didn't have
a ten. Yeah. So I saw the offensive lineman the

(01:26):
backup standing in front of the guys, and I was like,
what are they doing? Is someone going to the bathroom
over there? No? They were shading that great. It was
so great. Was a great report, I know saying that,
just sitting there taking it out. What a guy? Where
the Oakley's He's great. Not let's talk about it, but
in the big show, because I do want to talk
about him. I want to talk about their team. I

(01:46):
want to talk about our new best friend Chris Jones
and how we want him on our show. Him over.
We'll talk about it in the big show. Let's do
it all right. First up, we got Camber Schlag. I'm
sorry if I pronounced that wrong. If your first name
is camp, that's a great first name. Really, I don't
know if it's if it's first name or not, but
it's cool. It's different. I like it. We haven't heard
about house and house in a while, either of I.

(02:08):
It's house at home. But I appreciate you inquiring any
new trends to share well, Camber Real Nation. I just
came from a furniture store because I got a big project.
Shout out to my old boss and I call her
my second mother, Lisa Grigorich, who recently purchased a house
and gave me the full, full autonomy to design it. No,

(02:32):
just anything I wanted because she's so used to me
having to deal with five dollars budget. She was like,
so we have this house, you can do anything you want.
I don't know if she wants me saying so, I
won't say it. It's a place that we'd like. So
I don't know why I use it as a vacation
what ding ding ding ding ding. Yeah, so I designed

(02:53):
it for us to vacation and everybody can get it
done so we can use it after Super Bowl. Don't worry,
it'll be done next week because this is how my
schedule goes, because I have two days. I have Monday
and Tuesday to install this house. So I've been coordinating
all day to day, the moving trucks picking up three
different locations of stuff, getting it out to the location.
I fly in Monday, which we'll have to talk about

(03:13):
a podcast actually I'll do it from there. Great podcast Monday,
install the house Tuesday, get on a flight Tuesday night,
fly to New York Wednesday. That's what we do, multitasking.
So are there any new trends I am? I don't
know if trends are the things I just people ask, like,
what my design style is. I very much am a chameleion.

(03:36):
With design. I adjust to the location of where the
house is going. So if I was doing a house
in Newport, Rhode Island, it's going to be coastal and
think like Elan Hildebrand novel style. Where you're going Cape
cod look like Ralph Lauren nautical. If I'm designing a
house in Santa Barbara, it's going to be California coastal

(03:59):
and whimsical and think Rosewood Hotel. So I design based
on the location and the individual I'm designing for. So
that doesn't really answer your question, Camber kind of trends.
I just think this. I always go back to spend
the money on the things in the areas that you're
in the most your bedroom and your living room. So
don't chintz on a couch, don't chintz on a bed,

(04:19):
don't chintz on sheets, all that kind of stuff. You
spend the most time in your bedroom, in your living room,
so put the money there. And also your powder room,
your guest bathroom is so important. That is where your
guests are going to go more than any other room.
They're not snooping around in the guest rooms unless they're
staying over. But your powder room make that sexy? Can
I ask? How do you try out furniture before you

(04:42):
buy it? Because it's not like you're able, Oh, we've
got a couple of great ideas. It's not like you
can go to all these stores. Yeah, I am worried
about that kind of stuff. I end up going with
the brands and the stores that I like. I buy
a ton of stuff from HD, Buttercup, Cocoa Republic like
and you can it's a store you can actually go
in and sit on the couches and try the things.

(05:03):
But yeah, I end up buying a lot from the
same places that I've already purchased from because I know
what I'm getting. And then as far as design goes
like mix and match, so you don't just feel like
you bought a showroom of a furniture store. Buy the furniture.
Then go to an antique store and find like little
pieces that are old and have a story and sort
of make it feel like it's curated, not like you
just are like ripped out a page from pottery barn

(05:25):
or something. I love that. Thank you, you're up. Then okay,
let me refresh my computer anonymous. Yes, Christmas with the
in lawes and when okay, wait, Christmas with the in
laws when they guilt trip to get their way, how
besides with his mom help. Okay, you want me to
take this one, I'm gonna take this one. Just start

(05:45):
us off with let me think about this honest. Since
I have in laws and Jared has in laws, it's
a really hard position to be in when yeah, it's
your family, and I think holidays are super hard because

(06:07):
everybody has the way they like to do holidays. And
I even though I'm close to being fifty, which is
psychotic and there's nothing wrong, No, you're not. You're still
four years away from being fifties. Kno, get off. Okay,
that's almost half a decade away. Oh that's so close
to being fifty. No stop. Lynn asked me today when

(06:29):
I was getting my nails done. She said, you thirty four,
I said, reverse those forty two, almost the inverse of that. Okay, sorry,
go ahead, God, No, it's fine, Vita vea questionable for tonight.
I just it is hard. I unfortunately have the problem,
like with anything, any tradition that my family started. No,
this is the way it has to be. And I

(06:50):
find it not even with in laws, like with your
husband or you know, families, it's like when they have
different ideas, it's like no, no, no, no, no no no,
now we do it. But I do. Do you think
with anything, whether it's your own family or in laws.
And I've learned this from my girlfriends. Once you start
creating your own family, it's how you guys do it.
And then if everybody else wants to come in, they can.

(07:12):
But this is how our family is going to do it.
And to be honest with you, our family really has
no choice because our holidays are all screwed up with sports.
You're working Thanksgipping, you're working Christmas. So you're asking for advice.
M that's hard because you're saying that your hobby is
siding with your mom. I think I would keep maybe
hinting or saying, babe, this is about us and then

(07:34):
bringing everybody in. What do you think, Oh, I think
that's a great I mean, I don't have in laws,
but I'll just cause Steve's dad and his some mom, Kathy,
who's a freaking time. We saw them in Santa Barbara
a couple of weeks ago. Shout out to Steve and
Cathy because I'm obsessed with them. Hey, guys, they were
in Santa Barbara. We had about five seconds to see
them because we were coming down for we had to
fly to Seattle. And the first time I see it

(07:58):
walking through the hotel lobby, go, we're exhausted. We've been
on a cruise. We're dancing every night. I have these
people twenty one days on a cruise. They were in
the middle of it. They are so fun. I can't
even take it. Honestly, that's awesome. But I really like
what you said, though. It is about your is your family,
You're the priority. I remember my dad saying one time

(08:20):
that when he first started, like my parents first started
their family, he was like, my priority is your mom
number one? And then you kids are two, three and
after that, and he's like, and my family's now way
down here, because this is my family. Unit, and that's
what I need to build. So yeah, I think now,
if that doesn't work for you to say that anonymous,

(08:40):
I would do something like this. I would say, hey,
every other year we have to make a compromise. We
can do it one way your year, and then the
next year I get to do what I want to
do and kind of alternate and have some sort of compromise.
Because everything in a marriage at some point, I'm sure,
because I'm such an expert in it is about compromise.
Road seventy nine. You can only bless you? Is that

(09:02):
a sneeze? That was adorable? Mine covered three? Excuse me? Wow, Hi,
we're back. Have you ever sneezed on air? No? But
I almost had one the other yesterday for a highlight,
and I went like this, because it'll stop a sneeze
right above, right above your lip. If you push on it,
it'll stop a sneeze. And I thought I was going
to have it. And then I thought to myself while
I was stopping the sneeze, wonder if I sneezed while

(09:24):
doing the highlight, would I be like, sorry, yeah, of
course I would. You sneeze in threes? I do. That's
so cytimes fours. I almost pulled to you Anna Mac
and wipe my nose inside my thing. Why wouldn't you know?
Crazy not to Ellen Road seventy nine. I feel like
this cutie has asked a question before, but I'm excited
you're asking a very good, very recognizable hand on. Yeah, well,

(09:46):
you can only have one fast food restaurant for the
rest of your life. Which is it? You had it
on the phone with your husband the other night, you
were at a rest, you were at a drive through
when you're on the phone. No, we got it door
Dash because we had all night. We'll talk about that
on the big show. You were working, so I had
to call Steve. I had to find out about my
nephew from Steve. And before I even talk to you

(10:07):
about it, we had our first bloody accident in our house.
But tell everybody, since it's good, this is the the
He's okay, exactly good. But we'll talk about the bloodiness. Yeah,
well you go. Since you know what the restaurant is,
I don't know. Well, I would say Chick fil Ag
because I love it, and he says he's never allowed
to eat that with you. But I also am a

(10:28):
McDonald's girl too. I'm a McDonald's girl. I love McDonald's.
I love the fries, I love the dietoge. You've talked
about the ice and like, there's something different about a
diet coke. Have you seen those challenges where people do
blind taste tests with the diet cokes and you can
tell if they're out of a bottle the fountain drink,
like which foundin drink you haven't, I'll send you one.
It's really good. This girl nailed it. But then I'm like,
did she really nail it or did she actually have

(10:50):
tips like you can't see which I would definitely know
the difference between a diet coke and a bottle versus
a fountain drink so different. McDonald's power ranking McDonald's number
one obviously post hangover all crush a quarter pounder and
fries and maybe even throwing chicken nuggets. I don't care. Wait,
where is that from corner Donders McDonald's. Yeah. I love

(11:10):
chicken nuggets. That's my number one thing. That's what I
go for. And you dip that in that barbecue and
sweet and sour, forget about it. This is a horrible
thing to say. I haven't even told you this, yet
I have to go for my cancer checkup tomorrow, you know,
because I have to go once a year. Okay with you?
I yeah, you like to go by yourself, don't you.
I do said this before, I know, but no, if

(11:31):
you change your mind, that's here, fie. I always get
so into my head and anxious. I have to go
straight to a McDonald's and I either order if it's
the morning, I get a sausage biscuit or I get like, yeah,
nuggets and fries, like it's my comfort food. You did
that after fertility to utility. I love you. Well, I'm
sorry you have to do that tomorrow, but I'm proud

(11:52):
of you for staying up on the checkout. Now. You
don't need to remind anyone, but it is so important
for you to go back and do those checkups. But
I am here for you if you change your mind,
or I'll wait outside. I'll wait for you in the
drive through. Oh yeah, great, meet you there. Okay, uh,

(12:17):
little I don't know. I don't know you there. How
do you make friends without sounding like you're hitting on them? Well,
don't call them a heifer. If you call them a heifer,
you won't be hitting on them. That's funny. I don't know,
to be honest with you, I sound like I'm hitting
on everyone, including girls. I'm like, oh my god, you're
so pretty, or if a guy hugs me, oh my god,

(12:38):
you smell so good, your skin looks great. Totally. I
feel like that is very much my personality to compliment
somebody right away. I won't if I'm not interested. I
there's someone in my life that throws a ton of
compliments out there and you can tell that they're not real.
But I am very very one that I sound like.

(12:58):
I literally am hitting on girls, eyes, children, their mothers.
I'm like, oh my god, you look fantastic. That little
olive In's Scout outfit is really flattering for your diaper bomb. Like,
I don't know how to answer this. I think, yeah,
I was voted biggest flirt in high school and that
hasn't changed. I've talked about this before, but I had

(13:20):
to ask Steve at one point. I was like, do
you like get jealous of anything? Like, I'll just like
the same thing. I'll compliment anyone that's deserving of it.
But how do you make friends with that standing like
you're hitting on them? I don't know. I guess that
maybe I'm just I feel like I'm My bullshit detector
is like pretty good. Now, it's like a been through
enough where you're like you can tell the difference between

(13:40):
someone that's shit. I'll tell you what I don't like.
All right, here we go. I've worked to retail. Okay,
I know what. I know that when someone walks in
the store, you need to say, oh, I love your top,
I love your whatever. The other day I walked into
a store, and I know your tricks, ladies. Okay, you're
gonna say like you love this, you love that I

(14:01):
looked homeless. Okay, I don't need you saying I love
those jeans. Okay. And then and then this is what
I love. You do have great jeans. Okay, she was like,
I love your genes. I go and this is what.
I just was so happy to say this because they
weren't expensive. I was like Amazon ten dollars really, yeah,
they were Amazon those like barrel jeans or whatever. Anyways,
I just was like, you don't have to feel like

(14:22):
you have to compliment me when it's like, don't just
throw the compliment out there. I know that you don't
actually mean it. You just want me to buy those
pair of shoes and I'm not going to buy those
pair of shoes, not today anyways. I never in my suitcase. Oh.
Also for the big show, Ryan Bag up date Bag update,
Oh God, I gotta talk about it now. She's gonna
end up in a chiropractor blaming me, saying that her

(14:44):
back hurts because she's happy already, like my jaws in
a line because it was so heavy and I couldn't
put it like that. Have to do with the okay,
save it again, because we're not answering the question. People
know the difference between you actually wanting to be friends.
Tune into the Miranda Lambert Free Oh my god. Speaking
of Miranda Labort, did you get the boots? Yeah? Did
you like? God? Miranda Lambert said, down the cutest cowboy

(15:07):
boots her collection at boot Barn. I want to go
get um and run and get it. They are. They
smell so good. That's exactly so good. I need to
bring it down a notch. I'm getting very excited here.
They smelled great the ranch. Of course they're going. They
might be going to the concert. I'm going to tonight,
you know. Yeah. But she also wrote a sweet handwritten note. Nice.

(15:30):
She didn't tell you? Taylor Swift writing, Dave port nooy
handwritten note. I've got to tell you. I a handwritten note.
It's so nice. It's so freaking nice. People don't do
it anymore. You do it when you send your weird dish,
and I'm just telling you a handwritten note to do it.
So far, so Miranda, thank you for the boots and
the sweet handwritten note and hot on the album cover. Fantastic,

(15:54):
So little Heifer's How do you make friends without sounding
like you're hitting on them? You don't, not from us,
sound like we're hitting on everyone. And I can sniff
you out if you're giving me a compliment and you
don't mean it. I got I know, yeah, the sex
or how to give me a compliment on my Amazon jeans?
Maybe she actually liked him? Who knows? Uh? Melvi crave?
How do you and Aaron get that beautiful gloat? Lighting?

(16:17):
Lighting is everything? Lighting is every fighting. I also got
to tell you too, I used to be a gal.
I've said this before. Wore a lot of makeup because
I had a lot of acne. I less is more
like just tinted moisturizer. A little mascara and some lipstick
and then less. Like obviously TV is different. You have

(16:38):
to wear a lot more make I should say more makeup,
but as I get older, I'm thinking less less less.
I'm not really into that shine. You know sometimes that
people like the highlighter on the cheeks. I can't get
into that. I just like something that's like dewey. I
was thinking of yesterday when I was talking to Patrick
Mahomes postgame. I didn't get a I didn't have a

(16:58):
chance to speak with him pregame. But it's four hours
sweating pretty good. We're just layering and layering the makeup on.
I haven't seen him since last year. He's great. He
walks up, Hey, how you doing. Hey. I was like, yeah,
I get you all so much fun. Never see you guys.
And he's like looking at me in the interview, and
I just was thinking, God, I wonder if he's like, wow,

(17:20):
she's really fucking age, because like you know, caking on
the make up its crazy. Doesn't help when it was
like wrinkles and fine lines. If I ever say fine
lines again, hit me in the face, Oh my god.
But it doesn't help, and it ages you. Plus I'm tired.
I'm sure I'm dehydrated, and I'm standing there with the
big smile on my face because it's the face of
our league. I'm like yeah, And I was like, he's

(17:43):
probably thinking, bitch is getting old. Anyways, he's great, but
definitely what I was thinking about versus like my second question.
So because I like I said, like you said, you
have to put on meg up if you're on television,
I'm like, I know, I look one hundred and forty seven. Honestly,
I myself perfume since housed myself in the Spirit dunk.

(18:07):
Of course, I douse myself before I go to the
green room. And I'm only upstairs because you know what,
I don't need. I don't need to go in there.
And like ripe, okay, I we have a phobia about smells.
So you know my oven move. I don't have my
bag down here, but I go like this the bag handle,
like you know now that you carry a toe. Sure,

(18:28):
I'm here. The perfume is in the bag and I
just pretend like I'm looking in there. And so it's
a lot right on the chest area. But then when
you hug someone, so then straight I hadn't seen Stray
give him a big hug, and I thought to myself, Yeah,
he's thinking, see tea smells great today. That vanilla's the
vanilla tom Ford working. So I's a brother. Everyone relaxed post.

(18:49):
We don't need the thing. I want Michael Strainghew to
think I smell good, look at me. This is what's happened.
We've become paranoid. He's a brother, He's like a brother. Jesus. Anyways,
I just want to smell good. Yeah, So I I
knew I stop. I mean, it's just I'm out there
for four and a half hours. The sun's right on me.
I'm ripe. And I did think about, you know what,
I'll do some deodorant. But I was like, you know what,

(19:09):
I've got the perfume bottle here, there's two minutes left
on the colock. I know I'm getting my home. So
so along with when he looked at me too much
for a few yeah, he was like, damn, this bitch
has gotten older. Was like, wow, does she smell? That's
way too much. Then I had spoken to Chris Jones,

(19:29):
you know that week. Never had talked to him. What
a great guy. Want him on the podcast so bad
I just ran up to him. I gave him a
huge hug. I'm like, thank you so much for talking
to me. He goes, what's that scent you're wearing. I'm like, shit,
Patrick Mahomes. Patrick again, Patrick Mahomes never said any of this.
These are all the games I play in my head.
So New York Posts US Weekly. If you're gonna quote

(19:51):
me and say Patrick mahomesot this, that's not the case.
This is the storyline I have in my hand. Okay,
we're just gonna take this one step further. I'll tell you,
you know, for the Big John No, I will purposely
sit on set and not go down onto the field
because the lighting of that was overhead stadium light in
super Dome not good. Stadium lighting is terrible unless you
got a filler light. But on that set, they light

(20:11):
me up like a Christmas tree. So I'm I'm only
staying on the set. I'm like, oh, sorry, I'm attached
to you. I can't come down there. No, because in
those lights, Superstar down on the field, Happy Halloween, Chris
Meyer's voice. You know, I'm sorry if I don't come
on that field. You know why. I want to stay
under the lights. I needed Rihanna all of the lights

(20:37):
in my mahomes interview. I was like, he was probably like,
whoa Patrick him? He was in the NFL. He's like,
what happened to her face? But knock it up. I
got to tell you somebody. You know we talk about comments,
how we don't normally like respond to listen because we'd
be in a fetal position since two thousand and nine
if that was the case. Yesterday, I posted something right

(20:59):
away or not right away. I'd posted something and I
went to open up Instagram and it was still on
like the post page thing. So I refreshed it, looking
to get out of the whatever my own post, but
I couldn't overlook the guy. This guy said something and
it was like right after I post. It's like the
first comment, and he said how much surgery have you

(21:20):
had or something? And I said, well, I haven't had any.
I said, I haven't had any yet, but I'm looking
forward to that necklift and I'll let you know when
it happens. Okay, So if you want to make commag
about much surgery I've had, I haven't had any. I've
had shitty bow talks. We've gone through that before. But
I can't wait for my necklift. Yeah, people think I've
had a nose shop. I haven't had a nose sho.
I haven't had any surgery in my face. People don't

(21:41):
think I've had a nose job because my big You're
so stupid. Can't wait for that augmentation. It's like, thank
you so much for that question about our beautiful glow
the podcast over. Oh my god, that was a long
winded answer. Sorry. Anonymous. Dating a guy for six months
and everything has been great. We take our first trip together.

(22:05):
He's the only one who's given an upgrade and he
takes it. Do I need to rethink this relationship? Steve?
Steve just said, yeah, there's a question about giving the
upgrade to your girlfriend. Nothing. For those of you that
missed that episode of the Calm Down podcast, Steve took

(22:28):
the upgrade and said in first class as I was
in the first row of Comfort Plus, and then proceeded
to tell me that he was going to switch with
me after the flight got started, and I was like, no, no,
there's no switch in. After the flight got started. You
left my ass in Comfort Plus and you took the
first class seat. And don't think I obviously am never
going to let him live that down. And here's the thing,
He's actually like a very generous person. So I don't

(22:51):
know what was going on with him that day. That
was crazy behavior. He really wanted his Delta miles. I
guess whatever was happening. If this boyfriend of yours does
not put you in first class and give you the upgrade,
stop dating him. I don't know if you stop dating him,
I think you definitely just make him pay for it
with the verbal abuse, like that's what's happening in like

(23:13):
mean things. I mean, like no I did. It's twenty
four to seven about it? Okay, I do so, yeah,
I do so. Don't think of my Delta three sixty
that I don't say to Steve, Oh, I'd love to
have you in this new lounge, but you're not adulta
three six day So when wits your ass outside like
I did in the first row of comfort plus? Now
do you want to see you when I see a
Missus Stormer? Can we get an update on the bag

(23:33):
situation for EA? Hopefully? No more today? What's flying out
out and about Missus Stromer? We have an update on
the bag situation for Aaron, but as we do in
this business. It's a tease because our producer Ryan's going
to tell us that this pregame's very heavy, and we
have about thirty seconds before we have to sign off.
If you want to know what's happening with the Bag,

(23:54):
tune into the Big Show on Thursday. We have a
Bag update. We look like bags, not the bat under
which I was trying to bag. I was trying to
conceal yesterday and I just got caked on and caked
on and caked on. Whoa back update on the Big Show.
Thank you guys for writing in. I don't think I
can say this enough. We do really love these questions

(24:15):
and sometimes when we think to ourselves like oh, I
don't really have anything thing to talk about on the podcast,
we do. Thanks to you guys. May hell Yeah. Calm
