Speaker 1 (00:00):
I was so I was worried about the man in line.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Calm Down with Erin and Carissa is a production of iHeartRadio.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Hi, everybody, welcome to the Calm Down podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Freak I go. I love this first question. I didn't
even read all of it, but I saw the beginning part. Hi,
Jen Trask. I'm a first generation female rancher who shares
about my ranch on IG. I receive a lot of
text messages for male ranchers saying you think you're better
than us, Ignore them or respond Wait, I'm confused. Why

(00:37):
are they sending you that? What's the point? Okay, well,
Jess as someone who's currently at Ruby Ranch, my own ranch,
which I fully admit that I have no goddamn clue
what I'm doing at all up here. Admittingly people like
why a ranch? Because I watched Yellowstone and I was
the asshole who was like, oh, this will be fun,
and have since now two years into this project, realized

(01:00):
these are the hardest working people in America, farmers, ranchers,
Like I mean, even right before we got on here,
had to drain the the hoses because there's going to
be a freeze that's coming, Like, had to put the blanket.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
All these days, there's.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
All these things that like you have to do that
I had no idea about. So jess if men are
coming to you and being like you think you're better
than us, why because then all of a sudden, you're
like doing something that they think is only male dominated.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
Or male like. I don't understand why they're intimidated, but
you also are a rancher. I'm confused. But to hopefully
answer the question ignore them or respond ignore them, there's
somebody in her to respond yeah, and they're looking for
you to get upset and defend yourself. And as this
is related but unrelated, people that try to like poke

(01:49):
Aaron and I on stuff like every now and then
we'll respond just because it's like we've had enough. But
for like for ten bad comments, actually let's go bigger
on that number. For one hundred bad comments, we might
respond to maybe one and go for it. Aaron, here
is my life right now.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Where there was one yesterday where I somebody said, Aaron, juice,
you looks so great.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
You have this glow.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
What are you using?

Speaker 1 (02:15):
And I said it's called sweat like we were outside.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Stop me. If you've heard this about ninety degrees on
the field for four hours and it was like perfect
where the sun is just pow hit pelting me. And
I'm thinking, I know I don't have enough sunscreen on.
I put sunscreen on, but there this was like a reapply, reapply,
And you can't do that when you've got all that makeup.
And I'm thinking, here comes to pigmentation. Oh another field goal,

(02:40):
here comes the sunburn. Oh another field You know, it's
like you don't have time for that. But I when
someone said what do you use? I wrote back and
I said it's called sweat and I need a shower,
and some asshole wrote it's hot flashes. Shut the shut up, Yeah,
shut up, it's every time for five hours. Enough.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yeah, so just don't worry about those losers.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
You keep doing you and Jess, I'm very interested in
your ranch, so please tell us more. Let's just skip
past all the men who are intimidated by you for
doing things that they think that they own the landscape.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
On Rhea Leila Riah.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
My BF insists on watching shows with closed captions on.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
It drives me nuts, thoughts.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
I'm so I don't know if this is boyfriend or
best friend with the BF I'm going to assume boyfriend.
But I saw Hoda and Jenna talk about this the
other day and I almost sent it to our group
chat about podcast topics. I love close captioning.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Love it.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
I had Steve at our house for Thanksgiving and we
were watching you, and I felt so embarrassed that closed
captioning was on, but it kept coming on over your heads,
and I was like, we gotta have we got to
get this off. Yeah, oh, I'm sorry for Halloween. Did
I say Thanksgiving? Which, by the way, I need to
know if can he come to your house for Thanksgiving?
Because is Jarret going to be home? Oh? Even better,

(03:59):
he can come to my house because Jareded and Mack
are going to be alone and I'm in Dallas. They're
going He already knows the two houses he's going to hit,
and he's very comfortable there and they'll have a great time.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
Okay, this is will be so happy.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
This was my conundrum, which we can talk about on
the Big Show because it was scheduling for Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
So this is great.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
This is a Tales in the Basoy Thanksgiving Boys. Thanksgiving
literally a friend's episode episode. I said, Oh, I was like,
don't worry about. He has got a real thing. He's
gonna hate me that I said this. He does not
want to be alone on Thanksgiving, No, because I'm going
to be there for like five seconds. Anyways, we'll talk
about it later. So great, I'll tell you and you

(04:43):
know where he's going, and they'll be so excited, you know. Yeah,
look all the things that have so much more fun
than us. No ship, we're going to be working, which,
by the way, we're thrilled to be working. So you've
got the Thanksgiving game, I'll be watching you that night.
Then I've got the Black Friday Game, which is Kansas
City Raiders. Who's your Thanksgiving game? Obviously, Boys and the Giants.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
The Giants. Okay, well you know what. Look it's a
great reason. There we go.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
Let's focus on the positive. So thankful. So I was
just for my outfit so not wait, I'm sorry. This
is also why Aaron is like such a planner. I
am draining the water out of the hoses so it
doesn't phrase it, and she's planning her outfit for Thanksgiving.
I don't even know what I'm wearing tomorrow. Good for you, No,

(05:28):
it's not. I love close captioning is my point. I
do too, and we need it. The problem is, dear
closed captioners. Can we do it where it's not over
the scoreboard or over I need it in a better
area where it's not affecting the visual. You know what
I'm saying. Great point, it shouldn't be as large and
why is it always have to be in the bottom
if you should be able to move it around. I'd

(05:49):
also like a font change. You know I'm doing an
instant story. Can we scroll over and have a different
font change? It depends on your mood. I was facetiming
a thing the other day and all of a sudden,
her eye iPad comes up with these thumbs up and
these weird I'm like.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
What your iPad does?

Speaker 2 (06:03):
That?

Speaker 1 (06:03):
Does anybody else? I don't know what's setting you have
it on thing?

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Remember when we did this from a zoom and it
did that you were telling a story or it did
that I.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Know, I don't understand, or did fireworks too? AnyWho? I digress.
I don't close captioning.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
The reason why I love close captioning is because sometimes
I can't understand what they're saying, or there's like a whisper,
or maybe my hearing's going bad. I just like to
follow along for story time. Also great for practicing the
prompter because you're reading out loud. For those of you
early broadcast students or twenty years into the business students, Okay,
love sports. Are you texting each other while on air? Yes,

(06:45):
the answers yes, the answer yes for a multitude of reasons.
There is feedback on what's happening. There's thoughts, there's input
so good, there's there's also compliments to one another. You
have to keep in mind too, like again, having the
great benefit of a best friend that does the same job,

(07:05):
different but the same Erin also will send me notes
on different calls that she's had with players if I
have them the next week, different storylines, just information, a
sharing of information, and also encouragement. Maybe there's something like, hey,
fix your caller, do something that other people won't tell you.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
So it's great. Yes, definitely testing.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
I've messed up before on Airin I've said to her,
I just messed up so bad, and You're like, stop it.
I didn't even see it. She's like, have you been
on I haven't seen you. No. That's Aaron and I
both get in our heads about things. So it's nice
to have one another be reassuring or be like, hey, yeah,
that wasn't your best, but you know what, we're going
to do. That next HiT's going to freaking crush. Or
if I'm like I ran the wrong package or said

(07:47):
the wrong thing. I also don't want to say ran
the right package or whatever I just said because I'm
not a director.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
But you know what I'm talking about.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Last night, I was on the plane and I had
YouTube TV on where they had like the three games
last and it was two CBS is in a Fox
and you Got You and Julian came on to do postgame,
and I wrote, this is so fun. You guys are
on doing postgame. It's like Chris always talks about it
when we come on. It's like the first time we've
seen each other and we think we don't know each
other's on TV, and it's really really fine.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
I have such a great time watching you do it.
I love you so much, I say, Kelly, oh no, passionally.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
So both your spouses watch all your coverage when you're
on air or are they over it?

Speaker 1 (08:35):
It's a great question. I would say. Steve's newer to
this game. I think Steve.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
Steve definitely pays attention on Thursday because it's a game
pre game. I think on Sunday he doesn't pay as
much attention to. But what Steve will do is he
keeps a running list of nicknames from my outfits. So
would he finds which I find to be veryaining, Like
he doesn't know what I wear ahead of time, So
like he'll see me for the first time on TV
and he'll be like, ooh giving Mafia boss Why like

(09:07):
Boss White or things like that. He's got a wholess
in his phone of different like casual Cowboy or what
was the other one? It was like something cowgirl.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
I don't know. Anyways, I digress two good digresses.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
He watches, but not intently the way that he probably
would have in the first month of the relationship this year,
I would agree with that statement or that answer. Yeah, no,
my husband, I think in me, I don't. He's just
he watches, but he's just not like living and dying
off of Yeah, the two My god, what's going on? No,

(09:41):
Aaron and I do that for each other. Yeah. Nixt
nix Kelly Hogan. In my competitive rec league tennis match,
my opponent was making blatantly bad line calls. I let
a few go before asking are you sure? After a
third oh, after a third period, I struggle and how
to handle without causing a scene ideas I'm not the

(10:03):
right person to ask about this. I found myself to
be very blunt lately, including like today when I'm on
the phone with my girlfriend so excited to catch up
with her and I'm waiting in the Smoothie green Juice
and coffee line. Sir, I can do two things at once.
In fact, I can do it with a broken heart.
I can do five things at once. The I mean,

(10:24):
I have a guy behind me who's basically like, are
you in line for your order? Because I'm talking on
the phone, and I'm like, it's clearly annoying him. I'm
on the phone and I'm like, yeah, I am. The
person in front of me pays, but I can see
the cashier as I'm talking to Chrissa isn't done bringing
it up. He's like, go ahead, and I'm like, she's
not done. And I'm having a fight in front of

(10:45):
Carissa on the phone with a guy in the line.
So then I get up there. I order chrisa hang
on order, order order and then I go, hey, hold on,
one's that Chris. I turn around.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
I go go ahead, it's your turn.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
Like I wasn't done, so I'm not the best person
to ask about candy coating.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
Chris, you take this one candy coated rainbows.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
I so to god, this was such a I've been
there conversation that I was privy to based just stuff
of being on the other end that Aaron was dealing with.
I was so I was worried about the man in line.
It's a Monday morning, sir. I flew back from Tampa.
I was in ninety degree weather. I sat in my

(11:26):
own sweat for eight hours. It was very funny, and
everyone knows that person that's in line, to which I
then told Anon the story of like you know, when
you're on the jet bridge and you've now, okay, so
we're boarding.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
We always talked about all this podcast.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
Is boarding zones. Okay, so now we've boarded, we're in
the right zone. We're in the jet bridge. There's a
backup because person, you know, number one in line can't
get their bag overhead. That's fine, we're all waiting, but
there's that small little space between like the person in
front of you, and where everybody else is like pile up?
Where are you going to go? They're like, can you

(12:02):
move forward? And I'm like, where am I going to go?
There's all these people in front of me. There's nowhere
for us to go, Like, don't worry about that small
little gap that isn't filled. So that's my annoyance when
people tell you to move forward to that move ahead,
moving ahead in the questions, Kelly, here's my answer to this.
Who is this person? Like you say, an opponent? Do

(12:24):
you have to see her again? Or see him again
in this situation? Because I always like to use a
little bit of well, so does Aaron sarcasm with this,
be like oh we're going to get another free call,
Oh we're doing this today, or just use some John
McEnroe lines, just do like yeah, like kind of be
over the top of like but clearly sarcastic of like,

(12:45):
oh my god, looks like someone really wants to win today.
And then let them respond to that, because if they're
going to keep doing that like yeah, she goes, I
let a few go before asking are you sure that's good?

Speaker 1 (12:56):
Kelly? That's good?

Speaker 2 (12:57):
That was good? Keep doing things like that and then
at some point you got to just be like, not
gonna knock it off. Yeah, and because my husband, my
husband and I are from the Northeast but moved south
for his job. We're expecting our first child congratulations this
spring and feeling family guilt about being away from them
with their first grandchild. We're happy down here, but no,

(13:19):
being near family can be a big help.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
Advice take it away, sister, You got to do you.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
I was trying to reread it and be like, oh, yeah,
you're down south for a job. You have to do you.
If that's where the job is. It's I know, it's difficult.
I mean, I wish my mom was around right now.
She is a former art teacher. She's so great with
arts and crafts. Max at an age where he's like
kind of trying to draw, and my mom would just
be so amazing to have around. But yeah, it sucks,

(13:47):
like it does. But we FaceTime with them all the time,
and we're so excited for Christmas. Like I just saw
my parents in Tampa this weekend and they're just everybody's
so excited about how bananas he's going to be.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
So it's thanks.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
But if you're there, if you're there for a job.
I'm not sure what else you can do. Yeah, and
I think there's also an Again I speak from not
having a child, but I've been away from my family
since I was eighteen years old, and every you know,
my brother and sisters still live close to my parents
and they have all the birthdays and family gatherings together.
And I always think about, like, just try to put

(14:21):
it on the schedule, look for Thanksgiving and Christmas. That's
never an option for us because of work, which is fry.
But then like Fourth of July, like put things on
the schedule where you know you can at least or
they can come to you or you can go to them.
So it's something to look forward to. But don't feel guilty,
especially if it's for a job and you're supporting your
soon to be child, which again, congratulations exactly.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
Alyssa two two one two not a question, but a
tip for getting changed in airport bathrooms. Yes, bring a
pack of puppy pea pads to stand on and then
you can toss them.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
That's a good idea. Wow, that's a really good idea.
I love it. Alisa two to twelve.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
That's a good little stocking stuffer for Kevin Burkhardt and
myself because we're on a text chain together where it
always gets brought up. There we're in the bathroom changing
and nothing is worse than the automatic toilets where any
sudden movement when you're changing, it's splashing the water up.
Or the person Aaron had won, the person next to
her that had whatever, like had a stomach ache, and

(15:25):
you're working, You're work install three and she's working through
a lot of things Install four and like, I'm not
even halfway through getting my outfit off, you know what
I mean. And they knew it was just gonna be
a long haul, and so I'm next to it, holding
my breath and I'm like not wanting to step. I mean,
I could have died, it was so not because of
what was happening, but I.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
Was holding my bread. It was just a lot.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
I've also thought too, I mean, I have neck and
back issues just from stupid shit, and also my posture sucks.
I've also thought like getting man impression pants on or off,
or my clothes on and off in a hurry. I'm like,
is this the way I'm going to throw out my back?
Or like a disk popping, you know what I mean,
because you're just like bent over in these stalls. You
know what another thing is about the bathroom stall change

(16:10):
is a real bitch or even a pee in the bathroom.
When we're traveling, I bring a carry on. You bring
a carry on. keV does too. The stalls that are
so small that you the only way you can open
the door with your bag inside is if your suitcase
literally is touching the bowl of I'm like, so at
the back of your legs.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
So are the back of your legs? Uh huh yeap.
But now our suitcases are so nasty, so nasty. Do
you have a wife from down? I spray it. I'm
going to actually do that today. I need to.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
I don't I should do that as we're having this conversation. Oh, actually,
it's that move when you go through TSA and you've
got to lift the backup and sometimes you got to
put the hand on the wheel because it's like its
you or.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
You see the random hair coming off the wheel.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
Oh go ahead, Oh go ahead. No, I was just
gonna say, it builds up our immunities. That is the
only way that I can justify the like disgustingness because
knock on, would you?

Speaker 1 (17:11):
And I do not get sick a lot. We do not.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
And it's like these people that are so ster like, Look,
I'm all about hygiene. I am the person that showers
ten times a day, Like whatever can I.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
Test to that?

Speaker 2 (17:23):
I just think at some point, like you know all
of this sterilization and you have a child, so it's
like you have to be careful, like when are you
going to let him pick up a thing off the
ground or when are you not going to like, oh,
today at the playground, he was digging in the sand
and pulled out a band had I was like, oh God.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
Not in the mouth, not in the mouth, see exactly.
But you have to build up the immunities and the
babies because at.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
Some point, like we're not gonna be bubble Boy and
got into the world and be like any little thing
sets them off.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
Now, look, I gotta need the weird bathroom moments.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
But yeah, you're gonna love this baby. I save it
for the big show. Kevin and I went to Tampa
this weekend and we went on the same flights there
and we connected. We had this we had this crazy flight.
Thankfully it was just Atlanta to Tampa. This guy was
sitting behind me. I couldn't tell it was two things.
Stomach flew or he was drunk, and he was literally

(18:15):
like hunched, laying over on his wife girlfriend whoever was
behind me. But I was thinking to myself, if this
guy starts barfing the second we take off, I can't
do this. So Nosy Rosie Rosie name by the way,
for those of you that looking back. Kevin looks at
me and goes, oh, no, I give I give eyes
to the female flight at ten and I'm like, oh no, don't, hey, y,

(18:36):
Betty Davis. Eyes don't say things. We give eyes. This
is two things you said already today that are so wild.
She said, you're a folklore era earlier and I was like,
we're not even referring to a Taylor Swift song. And
she said folklore earlier on the call, and now I
was talking about Terry and Jimmy and Drago. I know
they're folklore heroes, but wait. So I gave eyes to

(19:01):
the I was like, we go back here. She's like,
let me find out. So somebody went. Another flight attendant
came over.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
I didn't want to take off, and then he starts
puking or we got to make it the landing, Like,
let's deal with this situation again. You're so sorry.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
You were my observations, and I had one behind me,
joined the uber drivers and the flight attendants, like just
sit in the seat and get them shut out.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
Are we good?

Speaker 2 (19:31):
Back? Here is American Airlines paying you to be an
air marshal, because you should be paid.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
We got eyes on this.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
Yeah you are, Yeah, you are bridesmaids for those of you.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
Yeah, I'm not an There's a woman dressing colonial clothing
on the way.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
That movie holds up.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
It's so so funny. Good ship.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
Okay, so you made eyes with the flight attendant non sexually,
but in id she sent someone over there to speak
with the passenger. And the passenger she said, how's he doing?
She goes just tired, and I felt a Christian wake
so tired, so tired. Something's wrong. He's lifeless, life alert?
Are we okay? We'll talk about it on the big show.

(20:20):
We're clearly not.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
Prop him up. What does he need? Wake him into?

Speaker 2 (20:27):
Bernie?

Speaker 1 (20:27):
You say, no resting home? Oh that was from Breakfast Club.
Wake her up?

Speaker 2 (20:33):
This saint no resting. That's also another movie. I needed
to get more familiar with. There have so many lines.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
In Breakfast Club. Who closed that door?

Speaker 2 (20:41):
Sir?

Speaker 1 (20:41):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
Maybe a screw fell out. The world isn't imperfect place? Oh,
