Things don’t slow down on Calm Down with Erin and Charissa in the offseason as they bring you a loaded Big Show! They start things off by congratulating coach Jimmy Johnson on his retirement from Fox Sports after 31 years as a Hall of Fame broadcaster. Then they dive in on the struggles of getting ready to “go out” and why it inevitably leads to just giving.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
He's hovering and I'm like, hey, you want to give
me a minute. I'm trying to like figure out my undergarments. Here.
Calm Down with Erin and Carissa is a production of iHeartRadio.
Helloa Me. Now you have great hooded sweatshirts. This is
(00:21):
from Abercrombie. I'm really into it. It kind of gave
a little free thing at the Super Bowl and I
love it, but it's gonna cut me off, so I
gotta like prop it up, you know, like I needed
to prop myself up when I saw you this weekend.
We'll get into that. Welcome everybody to the Calm Down Podcast.
Aaron and I had a meltdown. It was simultaneous with
one another thing. God misery loves company. Oh. I don't
(00:43):
brush my hair anymore. I really don't brush my hair.
In fact, Steve said the other day, are you gonna
brush your hair? And I was like, I really don't
because I just I just use my fingers and run
my fingers to my hair. All Right, you guys, we
are what are we in? We're in March? Oh my god, normal,
We're March. It's our off season. But we have a
(01:03):
lot of things also going on. At all times, like
me trying to get the heat to work in this
place that I'm at. Jimmy Johnson was retired. We're going
to talk about that. We're going to talk about Aaron's
project that she's working on. She wants some help. I'm
not even sure what that's about, but we look forward
to that. Aaron and I talked off off camera when
we were together the past couple of days about Alex
(01:26):
Earl and our affinity for her post that she did
and exposing acne and the whole thing. So we'll discuss that.
What else we got, girl, Well, we alluded to it earlier,
trying to do our own makeup and get ready. Look,
I get it. This sounds self centered, but we both
had we both had a meltdown about it, and I
(01:48):
think it's a funny conversation because there are a lot
of women now, according to these videos that I try
to watch to help myself, that can do this and
have great tricks and tricks. I am a massive failure
with it, and I want to talk a little bit
about it. You got a new therapist I need to
go back with. That's something I think we should talk about.
(02:09):
I love that and getting appointments done in the off season.
I have started that. I went to a dermatologist, I
got a skin check. I am working on a little
situation above my lip. I want to convince you to go.
The time of year, I always try to get stuff done,
but there is such a massive fear when doing all
this because I don't want to hear any bad news.
(02:31):
You know, no, but I also want to do an
elective procedure. And then I feel like there, I was like, well,
the downtime is four to six weeks and not trying
to sound so busy, but there isn't a four to
six window. So then all of a sudden, I'm like,
I'm going to be eighty years old by the time
I get the elective facelifts that I want. All right,
so let's start with our friend are now former colleague.
(02:54):
I hate saying that I know coach Jimmy Johnson, the
Hall of Fame coach Jimmy Johnson, and announced his retirement
on Monday from Fox after thirty What years are we at?
I think we're twenty eight, maybe because Jimmy came so
Terry and Howie were the first. That's thirty two years.
So we'll look it up or Ryan, let us know, Ryan,
(03:15):
how many years. I want to say it's twenty eight,
But either way, an unbelievable broadcasting career after his Hall
of Fame coaching career. I just yeah, I want us
each to say a highlight about Jimmy. I'll start by saying,
Jimmy has a way of just making everyone feel like
they belong. He is, his ability to walk into any room.
(03:39):
The speeches he gave over all the years were unbelievable.
His storytelling you guys, You're like, he's just there's a
reason he was a coach. But yeah, he had an
infectious he still does. He has an infectious personality. And
I found this video of him and I a couple
of years ago dancing on set, and I just so good.
I just that is like a girl cosm of who
(04:01):
he is. He's just the absolute best. And I love
him dearly and I will miss him, and I'm actually
gonna go see him this off season down in Florida
to spend some time with him. But I just love
him so much, so I'm gonna miss him on Sunday. Wait,
you are Why am I not invited? Yeah? You're always invited?
What are you guys doing. You're going fishing. We're going fishing.
(04:21):
Christ He's the best, he is. I kind of was
wondering if this was going to happen because we talked
about our setup for Super Bowl and we had a
great like meeting room area, well a whole section of
a meeting room with it was like kind of a
common area, and then all these rooms and Coach was
there like every day all day. I mean, I was
(04:41):
doing fittings. I was trying to my Super Bowl outfit.
I was running in, running out, and he I'll never
forget this. I won't ever forget this. This isn't my
Jimmy story, but it's what I'm gonna tell. So he
was getting ready to go sit down with Andy Reid
for his Super Bowl feature and I walked in and
(05:02):
I was like, hey, Coach, and I think we're all
kind of breathing fired. Did we all go out? What
were we doing? Or was this the day after we
filmed Lady Gaga. Something was going on and I was like, hey, Coach,
what are you doing? He goes, well, get ready go
sit down with Andy Reid. Aaron, if you had one
question for Andy Reid, what would it be and I
was like, the fact you're asking me this is so sweet.
(05:23):
You are absolutely right. You hit the head on then
did you hit the head on the nails on the henail?
You hit the nail on the hose. He just makes
everyone feel part of the team. He makes everyone feel
like they belong. I'm so grateful for that. I just
put it up on my Instagram that one of my
favorite things about Coach is those check ins during the
(05:44):
break before they're about to throw it to you for
your feature good and they're all like goofy kids. They're
like hey, hey, hey girl, and they all want to
say hi, and they're doing it at the same time,
and Coach is always like, I love the outfit, what's
the weather like out there? My hair blown? Or what's
the crowd doing? You know? Yeah? I adore him and
(06:06):
it doesn't feel real. It won't really feel real until we,
you know, kick off this season. But we love you, Coach.
You're so amazing. I'll come back every now and then,
don't I just I hope. So you know, Jimmy is
forever a family member of Fox, and I think and
Ryan told us it is thirty one years, which is incredible,
but on the Collin Coward Show, where he announced his
(06:28):
retirement on Monday, He said that even with all of
the incredible teams that he coached and the National Championships
and the Super Bowls, that Fox was his number one
and like the most fun that he's ever had in
his career. And I think that that just tells you
everything you need to know about being a part of Fox. So, Coach,
we love you, enjoy retirement. I can't wait to go
(06:49):
fishing with you. And obviously you never need an invite
back to any of our shows. We love you, We
love you, We love you. He is so sweet and
that hair always looks so bad. That hair exactly, Oh
my god, yes, his hair. And also about Coach, he
wore a suit. Wow, Like where's this suit? Wow? He's
you know, but he does like he just always looks
(07:12):
so dapper and he's so great. Last thing I'll say
fun fact about Coach because I love music on the
set in the morning, Like I need to wake people
up at his seven o'clock in the morning. We got
to like get the mat so like I always ask
the guys, like what was the pregame music you listen
to listen to? When you were a player, what do
you want right now? Like just like different vives. I
mean this could go from like fifty cent to boys
(07:32):
de mend or whatever. Coach walks on set one day
and I go, coach, what's your pump up music? What
do you want to listen to? He goes Celene Dion.
I go what. He goes, love Celene Dion, listen to
her all the time. I go, that's your pump up music.
He goes, yeah, that are h andre Bocelli. I go, wow,
what a renaissance man. You are a coach Celene Dion
and Andre Bocelli, my man. He also taught me you
(07:54):
can open a Heineken with your Super Bowl ring shot.
That's amazing. We have a Beureau opener.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
So he showed me, well, I got one right here,
and I showed him this was actually this year.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
I showed him a picture of my first NFC championship.
I worked with Fox. We didn't have the Super Bowl
that year, and I said, coach, look, this is the
picture of when you showed me how you can do it.
And he goes, yep, and I'm going to do it
tonight too. It's so good. I hope he's having a
six pack of Heineken Light right now, his favorite drink
of choice. We love you, coach, So mamio. Okay, so
(08:36):
this past what was it this past weekend? We were
together being a knowledge while me, Okay, you're ridiculous. Kelly
Stafford had a wonderful h infertility charity that she chosen,
infertility that she's a part of. We know how much
it means to you, and she's done an incredible job
(08:57):
giving back into that community. So we were happy to
go and support her. But this is classics. So Erin
and I we're going to go together, and it turns
into like, okay, well what are you gonna wear? Because
it's like semi formal. You don't want to be too formal,
but you don't want to like not show up and
make an effort. Cocktail and black tie are so difficult
to get ready for. And I'm sorry, like it just
(09:18):
is I have interview sideline or yoga pants. That's what
I know what to get ready for, you know, totally.
So Erin on the text change, she goes, I'm wearing
just refer to Jalen Hurts NFC Championship interview, to which
I went on her Instagram and I was like, what
was that? And I was like, oh, that's great, But yeah,
I'm with you. I don't I don't like this is
(09:40):
our and this is I'm going to preface all this.
Eron and I sound like bitches, Yes exactly. Erin and
I are so lucky that we have a job where
someone can get us dressed. Someone tells us just what
to wear. This is going to look great, put that on.
By the way we do it. If we're on national
television with the millions of people watching, there should be
(10:00):
someone that does it. Because you don't want me going on. Well, actually,
we've seen footage of that cut to es. We've seen
footage of when I dress myself and do my own
hair and think that weave looks good. We don't want
that higher than professionals. Aaron has taught me a lot
of things in this industry. Number one is you pay
for what you get. Like I there's a lot of
(10:22):
times I'm just like I don't want to pay for that.
I don't want to pay for that. And it's true,
like you get to alter, you get out of it
what you put into it, put into it. You got
to alter your freakin' outfits, you've got to spend the
money on hair and makeup, like, okay, so we are
very very fortunate, exactly. And that said, I can't. I
don't even brush my hair obviously when I'm not on television.
(10:44):
I don't like doing my hair. I don't like doing
my makeup. There's a reason I've taken my extensions out,
there's a reason I've taken my fake eyelashes off, my
fake nails, all of it, just because I don't want
the upkeep of any of it when it's awesome. So
then trying to get ready and look presentable, I end
up putting on so much makeup it looks like MAP
did my makeup and I don't mean the brand, and
you ran back. I mean, you're a child. It's like,
(11:06):
here's a cran, just start putting on. So yeah, so
Aaron and I both had these moments where we're like,
we're not good at this, So cue up all of
our professional friends that do these things. We need tips
and tricks. Jamie, Dominique, Jillian whoever, how do we get ready? Ailey, Kyie.
I'm gonna see Jamie and Kylie tomorrow and I need
(11:27):
some tips. I just am blown away at the women
on Instagram and TikTok that do all these things, and
then the powder and then the thing here, the thing here,
Like I do it and I think it looked great,
and then I see a picture and I'm like, hey,
my other thing is I'm going through a real situation
with this hair right now. I have damaged it incredibly.
(11:48):
There are broken pieces. What I thought was Friz the
other night at Kelly's event. No, that's just broken hair.
I don't know if it's because I slicked it back
so much and then maybe I combed through it that
I was flicking it bad back with a bad pride.
I don't see the broken stuff. Really, it's awful. I
now have a new set of bangs. All of this
is all broken. And it's not like I'm overprocessed because
(12:11):
I don't do my hair that much. I Am just
going to do the grays and then let this kind
of calm down. But I do know it's like the
styling that we do a lot of the heat is
what's I've just never had my hair in this bad
a shape. So yeah, cut to the event this weekend
and I was trying to do it, and my sweet
husband came home from golfing and he wanted to just
(12:33):
be with us six and he came back and I'm
like having a full blown meltdown in the bathroom and
he's like, what's wrong, and I'm like, I just I
look like shit. I look like shit. He goes, I'm like,
this is why I don't get myself ready because I
look and he's like, okay, what can I do? And
like he had picked my outfit. He wanted me to
wear this dress because I don't wear dresses often. He's like, yeah,
(12:55):
that looks should you should? Though you look great in
a dress or that skirt that you wore for it
was a different interview. You wore that scirt, was it
Saquan or though no, the dress too for the Jordan's
Love interview. Again, I'm good when someone plans it all out.
But and then I tried to that was for an interview.
I did this dress I had on and I put
(13:16):
it on. I'm like, I just this bra and I've
brought like I've got like a sports bra, like I
need my boobs, like it's just and he was like
and then God love him and he's so helpful. He
is so helpful. He's like, oh, like just because I
got I got my spank's on, and my spanks look
weird and I've got a four boob situation here, and
(13:37):
I'm like, this doesn't work. I don't know where the
bra was that I wore this outfit with. And my
man just wants to know, Hey, so when do I
tell the uber to get us? Like because? And so
he's like covering and he's hovering, and I'm trying to
take the layer of spangs off and now I'm nude
and crazy, and he's like he's hovering and I'm like, hey,
you want to give me a minute. I'm trying to
like figure out my undergarments here, Like he hasn't done
(14:00):
anything wrong. And we get in the car and then
he's like, I know he's so afraid to tell me
the ubers era. I know it.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I know it because I can feel it. He's like, hey,
no pressure, but the uber's here. I can hold him
for a bit. I'm not even ready because I'm not.
So now you know this better than anyone. I'm packing
an overnight bag to your house.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Yeah, I'm packing an overnight bag with this harum back
up fucking hair spray. All the makeup and we show
up at your house and I couldn't stop talking about
the overnight bag. I'm like, I've got an overnight bag
and they need to fix how ungry I look, No,
this is okay. Two four things that I need to
expand upon in this So this moment where it's like you,
(14:43):
I don't plan ahead with these outfits because I'm like, oh,
I'll just finds something, like I'm sure there's something in
there that works well. Then I get in there and
I'm like, the something that I thought was hanging it
is nowhere to be found. Now I can't find the
piece that goes under the other something. And now I'm
and now I'm in my bathing suit drawer looking for
the undergarment that's supposed to go undeath the because I'm like,
maybe someone thought this was a bathing suit cover up
(15:04):
and they put it away. I don't know what's going on.
So now I'm in Steve's drawer, I'm looking for all
this stuff and now there's just the dry cleaning has
been ripped open. The hangers are all over the place, literally,
and You're like, looks like this is crazy. If like
somebody supper comes in, They're going to be appalled and
we're like, we die and someone has to come pick
our outfit out for our funeral. They're gonna be like,
(15:24):
these people are slob slobs exactly, well the outfit funeral
outfit I should or I should just hang that up
and be like for my funeral. So no one hears
where the departments are in the bathing suit drawer. But
that brings me to the bar where you stay to Jared,
can you give me a minute? There is nothing I hate,
And I know he was not doing this. The hovering
(15:44):
I don't need you, I don't need this is this
is Steve has definitely learned very early on, I don't
want you around when I'm getting ready, because now I
want you saying after I've tried on the fifth dress,
being like wait, I like that first one better. I'm
not asking you. I'm not asking You're not a part
of this process. And then so Steve's very good about
he just goes downstairs and then he's like he'll he'll
(16:06):
yell up from downstairs, you got ten minutes, and I'm
like okay, or like time check, you got fifteen minutes whatever?
Oh WILLI okay? So the other night, the other night
we went on a date night, but this is the
night before we went out on our thing. I'm like,
you know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna try something
new with the makeup. I've been watching the tutorials. Because
I do, I get sucked in. I get suckered in. Yeah,
(16:29):
I get suckered in where it's like, I'll tell you
why I never told you this because it didn't make
it past the date night. So I'm up there and
I'm like, you know what, I'm gonna try this cat
I thing. I think I can do it. I watched
the tutorial or you just draw one straight line up
and then just do one little line over, so it
shouldn't be that hard. I nailed this eye like like
got it in two seconds. I was like, oh this
(16:51):
is oh my god, this is so easy. Great. I've
always wanted to do a cat I oh no, and
move over to this one. I can't get it. The flap,
the flappy skin is in the way of this one.
We're trying to hold it up there. So now we've
just got a sharpie that's like this big black mark here.
So now I'm getting the toilet paper and I'm wiping
it off. Now it looks like I have a black eye.
Now we're rubbing the whole thing. Now, I'm like, god,
(17:11):
damn it, I don't want to have to take it
off this side because this side isn't working, So I'm
gonna keep trying. Steve goes, are you okay up there?
I mean I was up there for like twenty minutes. Okay.
I finally walked downstairs and he goes, what's wrong? And
I was like, I tried something new and he's like, yeah,
were you crying at this point, like my face is red,
the makeup's propped, and I go, this is why we
(17:31):
can't get ready to go out now, baby, I don't
need you to get ready to go out. And I'm
like no, but I want to be the like hot
girl that's like goes out with a boyfriend. And it's
like I'm gonna put on like a sexy dress and
I'm gonna do something like fun underneath. So then it's like,
well we're at dinner, I'm like, hey, guess what, I
have one underneath their No, I forfeited the whole thing
because at that point I was just pissed off. I
couldn't do the fucking makeup. So that's why the next
(17:52):
night when we had our thing, I said, I'm not
even trying anything. I put my hair half up. It
was half. Steve goes, hey, your hair's like all dark underneath.
I was like, yeah, I know, because I haven't done
it under there. I don't care because but it's like
brown under there. And I was like, okay, enough, don't care,
just mailing it in. I tried, it didn't work, can't
do a cat I over it. This is I agree,
(18:13):
this is whent to the point I screamed, this is
why I don't go out anywhere. And I do love
it because I can see Steve like trying to figure
out do you want me to come in? Do you
want me to help you on zip the dress? You
need me to help me? And then how about this
when they are helping you zip and like, I'm annoyed
and I've got the extensions in, He's like, hey, I
need you to hold your hair up? No, no, you
(18:34):
don't move it. How About when I went to how
about when I put the hand chain on? Because I'm like,
you know what I'm gonna do? This is god? I
can't Guy are you in like a like a devil video?
What's going on? This is my wild organizing my jewelry.
And I was like, oh my god, I forgot about
this really pretty hand chain, so I'm gonna put that on. Well,
I can't put it on by myself. It's like one
(18:54):
of those ones that you have to have somebody else
help you. So I'm like, hey, can you come up
here and help me with this big pause. He's like,
it's like a really fragile chain, and so because he's
not doing it, yeah, like I'm like, you have to
do this. So now five minutes of attempting to put
on the fucking hand chain, I'm like, forget it, forget it.
I'll just do it myself. And he's like, fine, I
won't even try to help you. And I'm like, these
(19:15):
poor guys, I swear to now, because here's the thing.
We have the best of intentions when we start the
night again, like I said, I'm gonna be cute, I'm
gonna be sexy, I'm gonna try something new. Then I'm
discouraged and I'm frustrated, and now I don't even want
to go out on the date that I'm supposed to
be taking him on to celebrate him, and he's great,
and now he's like, why am I with this chick
and make that a headline New York Post. I'm just like,
(19:36):
you know, I just can't. I really I want someone
to teach me how to do my makeup and make
it too, because these tutorials make it seem like they're
so easy. There is not easy. I wouldn't know the
proper eyeliner coverage, which is or color, to save my life,
I don't know what it is. I had one brand
that someone recommended and the deal comes out all the time,
(19:57):
and now it's all over my bag. The color I
like from a certain company has now been discontinued. I
have no clue how to apply it. I think I
put sparkles on today. I don't know what's going on. Also,
I don't know an eyebrow brash. I know nothing. I
don't know how to do this. It's bad and I'm
little older. Yeah, well that's what I'm saying. That skin,
(20:17):
I don't think that this cat e is made for
this eye that has flaps of skin going over it.
And then I'm like, do I need that up for
bluff surgery?
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:24):
I do, but then four to six weeks downtime, don't
have it, you know what I mean. Hey, speaking of tutorials,
I got caught in the Alex Earl tutorial for her
doing her makeup, and we want to give a shout
out to Alex Earl right now as somebody who has
(20:44):
suffered from acting. My entire life up until I don't
know even still we have breakouts, but like my skin's
finally gotten to the point where I'm like, you know,
it's it's manageable. But I love Alex. If you're listening,
I hope you are. I commend you for being so
honest about your skin, your breakouts, it not being perfect
(21:06):
that you know you do the best that you can.
You're working with your dermatologists. But you are just such
I mean this and not trying to be cheesy. You
are very inspirational to people because I remember so many
times I would just not go I mean I wouldn't
go out then because my acne and I was so
embarrassed of it, and I wouldn't want to go out
until it was dark so people couldn't see. And it's
(21:26):
like it's hard to put yourself out there and then
have people criticize you. So good for you. I commend
you for doing that, and I feel you. I also
rute on your page try sparlactone because sparrolactone really helped
me a dermatologist in Nashville changed my whole life. I
have high testosterone, weird, and it totally cleared up my face.
(21:46):
So if maybe to consult with your dermatologists, maybe spar
lactone is right for you. But I really commend you
for doing that so good. Yeah, it was a great look.
We both brought it up to each other. It's just
candidly like, hey, did you see this? Oh my god,
I saw it. It was so great. Speaking of that, and
this goes along with it's our off season, we're trying
to get all these you know, appointments in I'm actually
(22:08):
partnering up with an organization to promote like people are
afraid to go to the doctor because they don't want
bad news. People are afraid to get checkups. Just a
random checkup is how I found out I had cervical cancer. Unfortunately,
you need to go to the doctor so your problem
doesn't get worse if you even have one. I now
(22:29):
go get mammograms like every six months because I am
so paranoid about what I went through with cervical cancer,
and I just feel like you're hearing more and more
about breast cancer and so forth, and it's awful. I
had a moment where I had to go back for
a checkup and I literally had a panic attack in
the office because they were making me wait, making me wait.
Finally I started crying. I told the lady at the
(22:51):
front desk, can you please just get me into a
room because I'm freaking out. When the doctor walked in
and he said to me, once you've already gone through
cancer like that, cherry is kind of popped. You are
forever worried that something is gonna get popped up. But
you need to go. So I booked. I was trying
to be really proactive. I was getting a facial and
my facialist a couple of times had said, I think
(23:12):
you need to go get this area looked at. It
was just kind of like a tad rough, sometimes a
little crusty, and sometimes had to shine on it. Also,
I had a spot on my leg that my chiropractor saw,
so he's like, I would have that looked at like shit.
So I went to go get a check. I made it.
I like, I made an appointment. I'm fine, But going
(23:33):
to the appointment, I'm like, oh my god, what if
I get bad news. Appointment's fine, but skin checks are
not fine. You do have to get like full on
the gown in the back. They are up in there,
thank god they are. But yeah, it's as I had
done it, I know, and we're in the sun a lot.
I'm gonna make Jared go. It's really bad because you
(23:53):
could have something. I did get something burned off my arm.
What did you feel? What did you feel? Like? You
just meant you mentioned the texture of the one above
your lip, but like I was in the shower because
then I'm now I'm doing this thing too, and I
was like checking in. I was like, is it raised?
Is it like a little like what I mean? I
know that here's the thing. If you have any sort
of question, you should go anyways, And honestly, first sun
(24:13):
and stuff, I know you just you need to go,
but you got to do it. I'll give you that information.
He's great, but as a dermatologist. He's a dermatologist and
also a plastic surgeon. So because I was thinking, if
I have to get something cut out. I want a
dermatologist to do it. So I started having him look
me over and I'm like, hey, I'm getting older and
(24:34):
he's like, well, you definitely have some brown spots on
your face and I'm like yeah, because I stand outside
in the sun for five to six hours on a
certain sideline and I get blasted. So we're going to
try to work on these little pigmentation things. But the
one thing he goes, can I tell you something? And
I said sure, and he goes, sunscreens, sunscreens, sunscreen, And
(24:55):
you don't think about it until you're our age and
you see the damage you did to yourself. The what
is the one that we use that the glow the
I want to say soul glow. It's not Darryl from McDowell's.
What's the it's the yellow top good to the goop,
the gloss screen, glow screen. I use that. I've gotten
(25:16):
better about that. That's like he told my favorite when
I go out for games and I should have done
this long before, and I'm annoyed because I did damage
to myself. I need to be in one hundred SPF.
He's like, if you're but if I'm doing a game
for four and five hours. He goes, can you use
an umbrella? I said, absolutely not. I would never be
on the sidelines with an umbrella. Goes, you should be
(25:37):
using one hundred. I should. You're right, because you're right.
I gotta go get this ship burned off. And it's
all the stuff they tell us early on in life. No,
and I didn't listen, drink water, use sunscreen. And we're like,
I want to fact ask. I do have to go.
I need a full body check on that, and I
do need a mammogram, I am. I yeah, I know.
(25:57):
I'm going to tell you what I gotta go do.
Okay later probably, but like, what's the like colonoscopy? I
feel like I had one, Like I feel like it
gets lower and lower to go for one. Guys, you
know my story about my colonoscopy. When I went when
I was nineteen. I had one because I was trying
to be so skinny and I wouldn't eat and I
(26:19):
didn't have any fiber in my diet and I was
so backed up. And then that's when the guy from
community college drove me and saw me naked, and the
doctor thought he was my boyfriend. And I then withdrew
from Grossmont Community College because I never wanted to see
him again because he saw me naked and he wasn't
even my boyfriend. Remember that story. I can't I can't
believe that anyways, turned into my head like I'm going
(26:43):
to burn these off. Those I've had the kalony, like
like from the spa, the medi spas. I think they're
so I don't care. This isn't like a gross conversation
like no, no, this is about you want to make
curiot answer. It's about like that stuff like your gut
health and being regular. I'm sorry, and I'm just saying
(27:05):
this because AG one seventy five BOMs and minerals and
I know you love your stuff. Like it's about like
it is about gut health and all of the things
that you don't think about until it's too late. So yeah,
so I'm gonna be good about that, my mammogram and
my skin over. I think the problem with the colonoscopy
that everyone has a tough experience. It's the night before
you got to kind of clean yourself out, and that's
(27:27):
very so it's pretty not great. Yeah that's not great,
but you know what it is. That's just like, you know,
eating some bad food in Mexico or something. Sure, you know.
Also not great, also not great. We're going along with
this toilet, the project toilet. I have a project I'm
(27:52):
doing right now. Yes, And I facetimeed you from this place.
We were at a warehouse with a bunch of appliances
and we were checking some stuff out for our new project,
and our contractor had a great point. We were trying
to figure out different toilets to put in the house. Yeah,
(28:13):
and our contractor said, don't put a heated seat in
the powder room because guests will stay in there longer.
So true, I mean no, you know they won't tinkling
and you're on your phone. I love a heated seat,
I dive out. No. Not. If you're going to go
over to someone's house, you're not going to just be like, hey,
let me just chill on the heated seat. You would
(28:33):
not do that, Listen. I have a massive pet peeve
with people that do more than just sit on the
heated seat in a powder room. That is an absolute yo.
Don't let me catch you knowing that in a power
That is crazy. Ask if there's a downstairs basement bathroom
and I have powder room. Ever Ever, how about I
(28:54):
had a whole breakdown though when Aaron was over the
other day, because Aaron has a thing about not using
hand taels, and I'm with her ever since she brought
it up. I don't like having a towel in the
powder room either for guests, because it's like this, even
if it's a brand, it's still like the paper napkin towel.
Things are better like disposable, one use and done well.
(29:14):
Mine is built into the wall and so it's like
then i'd have to remove it and do whle thing.
There's no space on the side of the counter. So
Aaron was on the other day and she's like, I
need to go to the use the bathroom, and I go, God,
I'm sorry, but I'm upstairs. I haven't even made it
downstairs because I'm still trying to find the undergarment for
the dress I'm wearing. And I just yelled from upstairs,
I'm sorry about the towel. It's like, you know, even
(29:35):
if it's your friends coming over, you're still like, I know,
they're like not into that. Wait, I'm looking at a
giant cobweb by the way in my office. That's great,
So wait, so what did you set a lot? Don't
get a heated seat in the I didn't get a
heated seat for our powder room. No, okay, okay, I
want one. Yeah, no, no, I have a heated seat.
(29:56):
So Steve and I don't in your pay room. No,
we have one in our master okay yeah yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah. We had just my number one thing. When
Steve and I moved in, I was like, we don't
share a bathroom like period and restore, like we share
like there's like double stinks, like you can brush the
seat that night in there, but like you can shower
and you can do all the other things everywhere else.
(30:18):
I don't. Again, going back to our conversation, when I'm
getting ready, I don't need someone lingering like just going,
and I don't want to share a bathroom. I need
to keep like some level of like privacy. So that
would be my advice for people that are working on
anything having to do with bathrooms, get a separate bathroom
for your shot. There was something else with this I
was going to tell you, Oh, speaking of wash class,
(30:41):
I don't know. I've been all over our producer Ryan
to get us a deal with them, but I don't
know if I've talked to you about this. Speaking of
wash Class, do you know what I'm obsessed with? And
speaking of alex orl in her skin This company called
and you can buy it at Target.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Now.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
I get mine like on Amazon, the Clearer Skin Club
or Clear Skin Clothes towels, So they come in a
big box and it's recycled towels, like not towels, but
like almost like how let not okay okay, and it's
what you should be using to take your makeup off
and to dry your face and think about it. I
started bringing them on the road because am I really
(31:21):
gonna wipe my face with a hotel towel which we
don't know where that's been. Oh okay, well I do
use the wash Class in the hotel like the show.
Because I don't like really bad skin. No, you don't
have really bad skin. I don't like using wash cloths
at my own house because it's like a one and done.
It's like, I'm not going to wash those every single time.
It just feels like a lot of laundry. Like do
(31:44):
you do you get a new towel every single time
in the shower? No? No, yeah, I'm not typing my
face on it. No. So the thing about the towel
for me is I will admit I'm excessive with towels too,
but I no more than two times, like and if
I'm like at the ranch, it's a one time and
wash because okay, I'm busy. I just don't like even
(32:06):
coming out of the shower because it's like when you
wipe off and then you still see makeup. I'm like, okay, gross.
So I like the little stringent Tonia pad things. Uh say,
I forget the Dennis something whatever that I use the
one the double pack thing. Okay, fine again me recommended
to use you know, once every three days. We're using
it every day. Fine. Sure. But the wash cloths in
(32:28):
the hotel, I like being able to use those because
then I can just leave them and I don't have
to wash them, you know what I'm saying. And I
feel like I'm really clean after I get all the
like TV makeup off, So I don't have a problem
with that. I mean, you're sleeping in sheets that other
people slept in. That's the whole thing about hotels, you know,
and I only get face on them. How do you
not put your face on a sheet. I bring my
(32:49):
own tempera petic pillow with my own pillowcase. And if
I like to get cozy, just like my son with
his levies, I put We've discussed this. I put a
sweatshirt over my face. Oh my god, you do that well.
But also, do you get your own pillow? I thought
the temper peeding was just for the airplane. No, it's
(33:11):
a travel pillow that I roll up. I have to
for next support. Are you insane? So I don't want
my face on their pillows? You don't sleep with the
hotel pillows? No, Oh my god. I need support mentally
and emotionally. I do too. That's why I use all
four of the four seasons pillows that they provide. In fact,
I need them for my neck. Wow. Interesting, Okay, okay,
(33:35):
I'm not gonna lie. My mom's a really funny gift,
like a great gift giver at Christmas. She gives us,
like my sister and I both like three sets of
Victoria's Secret PJS that are like thin and like long
sleeve and pants. And that's what I'm wearing to the hotels.
So my body isn't fully touching touching. I get that.
(33:56):
I get I wear sweats and a T shirt. But like,
but I'm not gonna lie to you. I get to
a four season and they're crispy. I'm touching. I love it. Yeah.
I was like, wait a minute, crazy, I love their
pillows so much. I might not have their app, but
I love their pillows so much. Part of Steve's Christmas
president was the four Seasons pillows. This guy uses six
pillows to sleep with. I'm not kidding. One between the legs,
(34:16):
two behind the head, one on the back, one in
front of him. We have so many goddamn pillows here,
I mean, and I love some pillows. Don't tep me
with a good time for decorative pillows. But I'm like,
at night, it's like he's building a floor over on
his side of the bed every night. Do you know
what I've never told you? And we were afraid we
weren't going to have anything to talk about. There is
a guy you got born yet we have met. I
(34:37):
will never be able to look at throw pillows the
same again. He was like, let me guess you have
a lot of throw pillows you're a female. Yeah, a
ton on our bed. So many? He goes, what do
you do with him at night, throw them to the side.
He did two until one night he had to get
up to go to the bathroom. He tripped, he fell,
He bashed his head on his his night side table,
(35:01):
which was like expensive what, I don't know whatever hit
it fell back. Not only did he have a massive gash,
he broke his neck. Oh my god, someone I know.
I don't know you, I know you. I don't think
you've met him. Broke his neck, broke his neck. Listen
(35:22):
to this. His wife makes him, takes him to the
emergency room. They have to transport him to like a
special hospital because they were worried he was going to
be paralyzed with the surgery he was getting done. Oh
my god, getting up to go to the bathroom, and
he tripped on the pillows. You're never gonna look at
yours the same again. I'm gonna tell you why, And
(35:45):
actually I'm gonna tell Steve because it's his side of
the bed that has We call it the pillow graveyard
because I said, at night, they just all go over there,
that's his side. Oh my god, he better be careful
between the you know, taping his mouth at night and
I won't even hear him scream if you need help,
I'm down. The tape is now being long off. He'll
wake up and it's flapping on one side. I'm so
(36:08):
done with the tape. You guys for those went and
got magnetic things for his nose to like help with
the breathing. It's like a magnetic thing that he ordered
it from Amazon. It ended up taking a month to
get there because it was coming from China. And he's like, God,
I don't know what's going on. It's not helping the
breathe rights are better than this one. And then the
(36:30):
tape flapping, and he's always like, oh, it's my beard
that's doing this for the view that would like a recap.
We're trying to get just up snoring. Steve uses this
tape at night. It's not helping. Jareded I gotta go
get my skin checked. I need a mammogram. Aaron doesn't
have a heated toilet in her powder room. You can't
(36:52):
get ourselves. I don't want to guests to say we
love Jimmy Johnson. Thank you guys for joining us. Hie

He's hovering and I'm like, hey, you want to give
me a minute. I'm trying to like figure out my undergarments. Here.
Calm Down with Erin and Carissa is a production of iHeartRadio.
Helloa Me. Now you have great hooded sweatshirts. This is
(00:21):
from Abercrombie. I'm really into it. It kind of gave
a little free thing at the Super Bowl and I
love it, but it's gonna cut me off, so I
gotta like prop it up, you know, like I needed
to prop myself up when I saw you this weekend.
We'll get into that. Welcome everybody to the Calm Down Podcast.
Aaron and I had a meltdown. It was simultaneous with
one another thing. God misery loves company. Oh. I don't
(00:43):
brush my hair anymore. I really don't brush my hair.
In fact, Steve said the other day, are you gonna
brush your hair? And I was like, I really don't
because I just I just use my fingers and run
my fingers to my hair. All Right, you guys, we
are what are we in? We're in March? Oh my god, normal,
We're March. It's our off season. But we have a
(01:03):
lot of things also going on. At all times, like
me trying to get the heat to work in this
place that I'm at. Jimmy Johnson was retired. We're going
to talk about that. We're going to talk about Aaron's
project that she's working on. She wants some help. I'm
not even sure what that's about, but we look forward
to that. Aaron and I talked off off camera when
we were together the past couple of days about Alex
(01:26):
Earl and our affinity for her post that she did
and exposing acne and the whole thing. So we'll discuss that.
What else we got, girl, Well, we alluded to it earlier,
trying to do our own makeup and get ready. Look,
I get it. This sounds self centered, but we both
had we both had a meltdown about it, and I
(01:48):
think it's a funny conversation because there are a lot
of women now, according to these videos that I try
to watch to help myself, that can do this and
have great tricks and tricks. I am a massive failure
with it, and I want to talk a little bit
about it. You got a new therapist I need to
go back with. That's something I think we should talk about.
(02:09):
I love that and getting appointments done in the off season.
I have started that. I went to a dermatologist, I
got a skin check. I am working on a little
situation above my lip. I want to convince you to go.
The time of year, I always try to get stuff done,
but there is such a massive fear when doing all
this because I don't want to hear any bad news.
(02:31):
You know, no, but I also want to do an
elective procedure. And then I feel like there, I was like, well,
the downtime is four to six weeks and not trying
to sound so busy, but there isn't a four to
six window. So then all of a sudden, I'm like,
I'm going to be eighty years old by the time
I get the elective facelifts that I want. All right,
so let's start with our friend are now former colleague.
(02:54):
I hate saying that I know coach Jimmy Johnson, the
Hall of Fame coach Jimmy Johnson, and announced his retirement
on Monday from Fox after thirty What years are we at?
I think we're twenty eight, maybe because Jimmy came so
Terry and Howie were the first. That's thirty two years.
So we'll look it up or Ryan, let us know, Ryan,
(03:15):
how many years. I want to say it's twenty eight,
But either way, an unbelievable broadcasting career after his Hall
of Fame coaching career. I just yeah, I want us
each to say a highlight about Jimmy. I'll start by saying,
Jimmy has a way of just making everyone feel like
they belong. He is, his ability to walk into any room.
(03:39):
The speeches he gave over all the years were unbelievable.
His storytelling you guys, You're like, he's just there's a
reason he was a coach. But yeah, he had an
infectious he still does. He has an infectious personality. And
I found this video of him and I a couple
of years ago dancing on set, and I just so good.
I just that is like a girl cosm of who
(04:01):
he is. He's just the absolute best. And I love
him dearly and I will miss him, and I'm actually
gonna go see him this off season down in Florida
to spend some time with him. But I just love
him so much, so I'm gonna miss him on Sunday. Wait,
you are Why am I not invited? Yeah? You're always invited?
What are you guys doing. You're going fishing. We're going fishing.
(04:21):
Christ He's the best, he is. I kind of was
wondering if this was going to happen because we talked
about our setup for Super Bowl and we had a
great like meeting room area, well a whole section of
a meeting room with it was like kind of a
common area, and then all these rooms and Coach was
there like every day all day. I mean, I was
(04:41):
doing fittings. I was trying to my Super Bowl outfit.
I was running in, running out, and he I'll never
forget this. I won't ever forget this. This isn't my
Jimmy story, but it's what I'm gonna tell. So he
was getting ready to go sit down with Andy Reid
for his Super Bowl feature and I walked in and
(05:02):
I was like, hey, Coach, and I think we're all
kind of breathing fired. Did we all go out? What
were we doing? Or was this the day after we
filmed Lady Gaga. Something was going on and I was like, hey, Coach,
what are you doing? He goes, well, get ready go
sit down with Andy Reid. Aaron, if you had one
question for Andy Reid, what would it be and I
was like, the fact you're asking me this is so sweet.
(05:23):
You are absolutely right. You hit the head on then
did you hit the head on the nails on the henail?
You hit the nail on the hose. He just makes
everyone feel part of the team. He makes everyone feel
like they belong. I'm so grateful for that. I just
put it up on my Instagram that one of my
favorite things about Coach is those check ins during the
(05:44):
break before they're about to throw it to you for
your feature good and they're all like goofy kids. They're
like hey, hey, hey girl, and they all want to
say hi, and they're doing it at the same time,
and Coach is always like, I love the outfit, what's
the weather like out there? My hair blown? Or what's
the crowd doing? You know? Yeah? I adore him and
(06:06):
it doesn't feel real. It won't really feel real until we,
you know, kick off this season. But we love you, Coach.
You're so amazing. I'll come back every now and then,
don't I just I hope. So you know, Jimmy is
forever a family member of Fox, and I think and
Ryan told us it is thirty one years, which is incredible,
but on the Collin Coward Show, where he announced his
(06:28):
retirement on Monday, He said that even with all of
the incredible teams that he coached and the National Championships
and the Super Bowls, that Fox was his number one
and like the most fun that he's ever had in
his career. And I think that that just tells you
everything you need to know about being a part of Fox. So, Coach,
we love you, enjoy retirement. I can't wait to go
(06:49):
fishing with you. And obviously you never need an invite
back to any of our shows. We love you, We
love you, We love you. He is so sweet and
that hair always looks so bad. That hair exactly, Oh
my god, yes, his hair. And also about Coach, he
wore a suit. Wow, Like where's this suit? Wow? He's
you know, but he does like he just always looks
(07:12):
so dapper and he's so great. Last thing I'll say
fun fact about Coach because I love music on the
set in the morning, Like I need to wake people
up at his seven o'clock in the morning. We got
to like get the mat so like I always ask
the guys, like what was the pregame music you listen
to listen to? When you were a player, what do
you want right now? Like just like different vives. I
mean this could go from like fifty cent to boys
(07:32):
de mend or whatever. Coach walks on set one day
and I go, coach, what's your pump up music? What
do you want to listen to? He goes Celene Dion.
I go what. He goes, love Celene Dion, listen to
her all the time. I go, that's your pump up music.
He goes, yeah, that are h andre Bocelli. I go, wow,
what a renaissance man. You are a coach Celene Dion
and Andre Bocelli, my man. He also taught me you
(07:54):
can open a Heineken with your Super Bowl ring shot.
That's amazing. We have a Beureau opener.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
So he showed me, well, I got one right here,
and I showed him this was actually this year.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
I showed him a picture of my first NFC championship.
I worked with Fox. We didn't have the Super Bowl
that year, and I said, coach, look, this is the
picture of when you showed me how you can do it.
And he goes, yep, and I'm going to do it
tonight too. It's so good. I hope he's having a
six pack of Heineken Light right now, his favorite drink
of choice. We love you, coach, So mamio. Okay, so
(08:36):
this past what was it this past weekend? We were
together being a knowledge while me, Okay, you're ridiculous. Kelly
Stafford had a wonderful h infertility charity that she chosen,
infertility that she's a part of. We know how much
it means to you, and she's done an incredible job
(08:57):
giving back into that community. So we were happy to
go and support her. But this is classics. So Erin
and I we're going to go together, and it turns
into like, okay, well what are you gonna wear? Because
it's like semi formal. You don't want to be too formal,
but you don't want to like not show up and
make an effort. Cocktail and black tie are so difficult
to get ready for. And I'm sorry, like it just
(09:18):
is I have interview sideline or yoga pants. That's what
I know what to get ready for, you know, totally.
So Erin on the text change, she goes, I'm wearing
just refer to Jalen Hurts NFC Championship interview, to which
I went on her Instagram and I was like, what
was that? And I was like, oh, that's great, But yeah,
I'm with you. I don't I don't like this is
(09:40):
our and this is I'm going to preface all this.
Eron and I sound like bitches, Yes exactly. Erin and
I are so lucky that we have a job where
someone can get us dressed. Someone tells us just what
to wear. This is going to look great, put that on.
By the way we do it. If we're on national
television with the millions of people watching, there should be
(10:00):
someone that does it. Because you don't want me going on. Well, actually,
we've seen footage of that cut to es. We've seen
footage of when I dress myself and do my own
hair and think that weave looks good. We don't want
that higher than professionals. Aaron has taught me a lot
of things in this industry. Number one is you pay
for what you get. Like I there's a lot of
(10:22):
times I'm just like I don't want to pay for that.
I don't want to pay for that. And it's true,
like you get to alter, you get out of it
what you put into it, put into it. You got
to alter your freakin' outfits, you've got to spend the
money on hair and makeup, like, okay, so we are
very very fortunate, exactly. And that said, I can't. I
don't even brush my hair obviously when I'm not on television.
(10:44):
I don't like doing my hair. I don't like doing
my makeup. There's a reason I've taken my extensions out,
there's a reason I've taken my fake eyelashes off, my
fake nails, all of it, just because I don't want
the upkeep of any of it when it's awesome. So
then trying to get ready and look presentable, I end
up putting on so much makeup it looks like MAP
did my makeup and I don't mean the brand, and
you ran back. I mean, you're a child. It's like,
(11:06):
here's a cran, just start putting on. So yeah, so
Aaron and I both had these moments where we're like,
we're not good at this, So cue up all of
our professional friends that do these things. We need tips
and tricks. Jamie, Dominique, Jillian whoever, how do we get ready? Ailey, Kyie.
I'm gonna see Jamie and Kylie tomorrow and I need
(11:27):
some tips. I just am blown away at the women
on Instagram and TikTok that do all these things, and
then the powder and then the thing here, the thing here,
Like I do it and I think it looked great,
and then I see a picture and I'm like, hey,
my other thing is I'm going through a real situation
with this hair right now. I have damaged it incredibly.
(11:48):
There are broken pieces. What I thought was Friz the
other night at Kelly's event. No, that's just broken hair.
I don't know if it's because I slicked it back
so much and then maybe I combed through it that
I was flicking it bad back with a bad pride.
I don't see the broken stuff. Really, it's awful. I
now have a new set of bangs. All of this
is all broken. And it's not like I'm overprocessed because
(12:11):
I don't do my hair that much. I Am just
going to do the grays and then let this kind
of calm down. But I do know it's like the
styling that we do a lot of the heat is
what's I've just never had my hair in this bad
a shape. So yeah, cut to the event this weekend
and I was trying to do it, and my sweet
husband came home from golfing and he wanted to just
(12:33):
be with us six and he came back and I'm
like having a full blown meltdown in the bathroom and
he's like, what's wrong, and I'm like, I just I
look like shit. I look like shit. He goes, I'm like,
this is why I don't get myself ready because I
look and he's like, okay, what can I do? And
like he had picked my outfit. He wanted me to
wear this dress because I don't wear dresses often. He's like, yeah,
(12:55):
that looks should you should? Though you look great in
a dress or that skirt that you wore for it
was a different interview. You wore that scirt, was it
Saquan or though no, the dress too for the Jordan's
Love interview. Again, I'm good when someone plans it all out.
But and then I tried to that was for an interview.
I did this dress I had on and I put
(13:16):
it on. I'm like, I just this bra and I've
brought like I've got like a sports bra, like I
need my boobs, like it's just and he was like
and then God love him and he's so helpful. He
is so helpful. He's like, oh, like just because I
got I got my spank's on, and my spanks look
weird and I've got a four boob situation here, and
(13:37):
I'm like, this doesn't work. I don't know where the
bra was that I wore this outfit with. And my
man just wants to know, Hey, so when do I
tell the uber to get us? Like because? And so
he's like covering and he's hovering, and I'm trying to
take the layer of spangs off and now I'm nude
and crazy, and he's like he's hovering and I'm like, hey,
you want to give me a minute. I'm trying to
like figure out my undergarments here, Like he hasn't done
(14:00):
anything wrong. And we get in the car and then
he's like, I know he's so afraid to tell me
the ubers era. I know it.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I know it because I can feel it. He's like, hey,
no pressure, but the uber's here. I can hold him
for a bit. I'm not even ready because I'm not.
So now you know this better than anyone. I'm packing
an overnight bag to your house.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Yeah, I'm packing an overnight bag with this harum back
up fucking hair spray. All the makeup and we show
up at your house and I couldn't stop talking about
the overnight bag. I'm like, I've got an overnight bag
and they need to fix how ungry I look, No,
this is okay. Two four things that I need to
expand upon in this So this moment where it's like you,
(14:43):
I don't plan ahead with these outfits because I'm like, oh,
I'll just finds something, like I'm sure there's something in
there that works well. Then I get in there and
I'm like, the something that I thought was hanging it
is nowhere to be found. Now I can't find the
piece that goes under the other something. And now I'm
and now I'm in my bathing suit drawer looking for
the undergarment that's supposed to go undeath the because I'm like,
maybe someone thought this was a bathing suit cover up
(15:04):
and they put it away. I don't know what's going on.
So now I'm in Steve's drawer, I'm looking for all
this stuff and now there's just the dry cleaning has
been ripped open. The hangers are all over the place, literally,
and You're like, looks like this is crazy. If like
somebody supper comes in, They're going to be appalled and
we're like, we die and someone has to come pick
our outfit out for our funeral. They're gonna be like,
(15:24):
these people are slob slobs exactly, well the outfit funeral
outfit I should or I should just hang that up
and be like for my funeral. So no one hears
where the departments are in the bathing suit drawer. But
that brings me to the bar where you stay to Jared,
can you give me a minute? There is nothing I hate,
And I know he was not doing this. The hovering
(15:44):
I don't need you, I don't need this is this
is Steve has definitely learned very early on, I don't
want you around when I'm getting ready, because now I
want you saying after I've tried on the fifth dress,
being like wait, I like that first one better. I'm
not asking you. I'm not asking You're not a part
of this process. And then so Steve's very good about
he just goes downstairs and then he's like he'll he'll
(16:06):
yell up from downstairs, you got ten minutes, and I'm
like okay, or like time check, you got fifteen minutes whatever?
Oh WILLI okay? So the other night, the other night
we went on a date night, but this is the
night before we went out on our thing. I'm like,
you know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna try something
new with the makeup. I've been watching the tutorials. Because
I do, I get sucked in. I get suckered in. Yeah,
(16:29):
I get suckered in where it's like, I'll tell you
why I never told you this because it didn't make
it past the date night. So I'm up there and
I'm like, you know what, I'm gonna try this cat
I thing. I think I can do it. I watched
the tutorial or you just draw one straight line up
and then just do one little line over, so it
shouldn't be that hard. I nailed this eye like like
got it in two seconds. I was like, oh this
(16:51):
is oh my god, this is so easy. Great. I've
always wanted to do a cat I oh no, and
move over to this one. I can't get it. The flap,
the flappy skin is in the way of this one.
We're trying to hold it up there. So now we've
just got a sharpie that's like this big black mark here.
So now I'm getting the toilet paper and I'm wiping
it off. Now it looks like I have a black eye.
Now we're rubbing the whole thing. Now, I'm like, god,
(17:11):
damn it, I don't want to have to take it
off this side because this side isn't working, So I'm
gonna keep trying. Steve goes, are you okay up there?
I mean I was up there for like twenty minutes. Okay.
I finally walked downstairs and he goes, what's wrong? And
I was like, I tried something new and he's like, yeah,
were you crying at this point, like my face is red,
the makeup's propped, and I go, this is why we
(17:31):
can't get ready to go out now, baby, I don't
need you to get ready to go out. And I'm
like no, but I want to be the like hot
girl that's like goes out with a boyfriend. And it's
like I'm gonna put on like a sexy dress and
I'm gonna do something like fun underneath. So then it's like,
well we're at dinner, I'm like, hey, guess what, I
have one underneath their No, I forfeited the whole thing
because at that point I was just pissed off. I
couldn't do the fucking makeup. So that's why the next
(17:52):
night when we had our thing, I said, I'm not
even trying anything. I put my hair half up. It
was half. Steve goes, hey, your hair's like all dark underneath.
I was like, yeah, I know, because I haven't done
it under there. I don't care because but it's like
brown under there. And I was like, okay, enough, don't care,
just mailing it in. I tried, it didn't work, can't
do a cat I over it. This is I agree,
(18:13):
this is whent to the point I screamed, this is
why I don't go out anywhere. And I do love
it because I can see Steve like trying to figure
out do you want me to come in? Do you
want me to help you on zip the dress? You
need me to help me? And then how about this
when they are helping you zip and like, I'm annoyed
and I've got the extensions in, He's like, hey, I
need you to hold your hair up? No, no, you
(18:34):
don't move it. How About when I went to how
about when I put the hand chain on? Because I'm like,
you know what I'm gonna do? This is god? I
can't Guy are you in like a like a devil video?
What's going on? This is my wild organizing my jewelry.
And I was like, oh my god, I forgot about
this really pretty hand chain, so I'm gonna put that on. Well,
I can't put it on by myself. It's like one
(18:54):
of those ones that you have to have somebody else
help you. So I'm like, hey, can you come up
here and help me with this big pause. He's like,
it's like a really fragile chain, and so because he's
not doing it, yeah, like I'm like, you have to
do this. So now five minutes of attempting to put
on the fucking hand chain, I'm like, forget it, forget it.
I'll just do it myself. And he's like, fine, I
won't even try to help you. And I'm like, these
(19:15):
poor guys, I swear to now, because here's the thing.
We have the best of intentions when we start the
night again, like I said, I'm gonna be cute, I'm
gonna be sexy, I'm gonna try something new. Then I'm
discouraged and I'm frustrated, and now I don't even want
to go out on the date that I'm supposed to
be taking him on to celebrate him, and he's great,
and now he's like, why am I with this chick
and make that a headline New York Post. I'm just like,
(19:36):
you know, I just can't. I really I want someone
to teach me how to do my makeup and make
it too, because these tutorials make it seem like they're
so easy. There is not easy. I wouldn't know the
proper eyeliner coverage, which is or color, to save my life,
I don't know what it is. I had one brand
that someone recommended and the deal comes out all the time,
(19:57):
and now it's all over my bag. The color I
like from a certain company has now been discontinued. I
have no clue how to apply it. I think I
put sparkles on today. I don't know what's going on. Also,
I don't know an eyebrow brash. I know nothing. I
don't know how to do this. It's bad and I'm
little older. Yeah, well that's what I'm saying. That skin,
(20:17):
I don't think that this cat e is made for
this eye that has flaps of skin going over it.
And then I'm like, do I need that up for
bluff surgery?
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:24):
I do, but then four to six weeks downtime, don't
have it, you know what I mean. Hey, speaking of tutorials,
I got caught in the Alex Earl tutorial for her
doing her makeup, and we want to give a shout
out to Alex Earl right now as somebody who has
(20:44):
suffered from acting. My entire life up until I don't
know even still we have breakouts, but like my skin's
finally gotten to the point where I'm like, you know,
it's it's manageable. But I love Alex. If you're listening,
I hope you are. I commend you for being so
honest about your skin, your breakouts, it not being perfect
(21:06):
that you know you do the best that you can.
You're working with your dermatologists. But you are just such
I mean this and not trying to be cheesy. You
are very inspirational to people because I remember so many
times I would just not go I mean I wouldn't
go out then because my acne and I was so
embarrassed of it, and I wouldn't want to go out
until it was dark so people couldn't see. And it's
(21:26):
like it's hard to put yourself out there and then
have people criticize you. So good for you. I commend
you for doing that, and I feel you. I also
rute on your page try sparlactone because sparrolactone really helped
me a dermatologist in Nashville changed my whole life. I
have high testosterone, weird, and it totally cleared up my face.
(21:46):
So if maybe to consult with your dermatologists, maybe spar
lactone is right for you. But I really commend you
for doing that so good. Yeah, it was a great look.
We both brought it up to each other. It's just
candidly like, hey, did you see this? Oh my god,
I saw it. It was so great. Speaking of that, and
this goes along with it's our off season, we're trying
to get all these you know, appointments in I'm actually
(22:08):
partnering up with an organization to promote like people are
afraid to go to the doctor because they don't want
bad news. People are afraid to get checkups. Just a
random checkup is how I found out I had cervical cancer. Unfortunately,
you need to go to the doctor so your problem
doesn't get worse if you even have one. I now
(22:29):
go get mammograms like every six months because I am
so paranoid about what I went through with cervical cancer,
and I just feel like you're hearing more and more
about breast cancer and so forth, and it's awful. I
had a moment where I had to go back for
a checkup and I literally had a panic attack in
the office because they were making me wait, making me wait.
Finally I started crying. I told the lady at the
(22:51):
front desk, can you please just get me into a
room because I'm freaking out. When the doctor walked in
and he said to me, once you've already gone through
cancer like that, cherry is kind of popped. You are
forever worried that something is gonna get popped up. But
you need to go. So I booked. I was trying
to be really proactive. I was getting a facial and
my facialist a couple of times had said, I think
(23:12):
you need to go get this area looked at. It
was just kind of like a tad rough, sometimes a
little crusty, and sometimes had to shine on it. Also,
I had a spot on my leg that my chiropractor saw,
so he's like, I would have that looked at like shit.
So I went to go get a check. I made it.
I like, I made an appointment. I'm fine, But going
(23:33):
to the appointment, I'm like, oh my god, what if
I get bad news. Appointment's fine, but skin checks are
not fine. You do have to get like full on
the gown in the back. They are up in there,
thank god they are. But yeah, it's as I had
done it, I know, and we're in the sun a lot.
I'm gonna make Jared go. It's really bad because you
(23:53):
could have something. I did get something burned off my arm.
What did you feel? What did you feel? Like? You
just meant you mentioned the texture of the one above
your lip, but like I was in the shower because
then I'm now I'm doing this thing too, and I
was like checking in. I was like, is it raised?
Is it like a little like what I mean? I
know that here's the thing. If you have any sort
of question, you should go anyways, And honestly, first sun
(24:13):
and stuff, I know you just you need to go,
but you got to do it. I'll give you that information.
He's great, but as a dermatologist. He's a dermatologist and
also a plastic surgeon. So because I was thinking, if
I have to get something cut out. I want a
dermatologist to do it. So I started having him look
me over and I'm like, hey, I'm getting older and
(24:34):
he's like, well, you definitely have some brown spots on
your face and I'm like yeah, because I stand outside
in the sun for five to six hours on a
certain sideline and I get blasted. So we're going to
try to work on these little pigmentation things. But the
one thing he goes, can I tell you something? And
I said sure, and he goes, sunscreens, sunscreens, sunscreen, And
(24:55):
you don't think about it until you're our age and
you see the damage you did to yourself. The what
is the one that we use that the glow the
I want to say soul glow. It's not Darryl from McDowell's.
What's the it's the yellow top good to the goop,
the gloss screen, glow screen. I use that. I've gotten
(25:16):
better about that. That's like he told my favorite when
I go out for games and I should have done
this long before, and I'm annoyed because I did damage
to myself. I need to be in one hundred SPF.
He's like, if you're but if I'm doing a game
for four and five hours. He goes, can you use
an umbrella? I said, absolutely not. I would never be
on the sidelines with an umbrella. Goes, you should be
(25:37):
using one hundred. I should. You're right, because you're right.
I gotta go get this ship burned off. And it's
all the stuff they tell us early on in life. No,
and I didn't listen, drink water, use sunscreen. And we're like,
I want to fact ask. I do have to go.
I need a full body check on that, and I
do need a mammogram, I am. I yeah, I know.
(25:57):
I'm going to tell you what I gotta go do.
Okay later probably, but like, what's the like colonoscopy? I
feel like I had one, Like I feel like it
gets lower and lower to go for one. Guys, you
know my story about my colonoscopy. When I went when
I was nineteen. I had one because I was trying
to be so skinny and I wouldn't eat and I
(26:19):
didn't have any fiber in my diet and I was
so backed up. And then that's when the guy from
community college drove me and saw me naked, and the
doctor thought he was my boyfriend. And I then withdrew
from Grossmont Community College because I never wanted to see
him again because he saw me naked and he wasn't
even my boyfriend. Remember that story. I can't I can't
believe that anyways, turned into my head like I'm going
(26:43):
to burn these off. Those I've had the kalony, like
like from the spa, the medi spas. I think they're
so I don't care. This isn't like a gross conversation
like no, no, this is about you want to make
curiot answer. It's about like that stuff like your gut
health and being regular. I'm sorry, and I'm just saying
(27:05):
this because AG one seventy five BOMs and minerals and
I know you love your stuff. Like it's about like
it is about gut health and all of the things
that you don't think about until it's too late. So yeah,
so I'm gonna be good about that, my mammogram and
my skin over. I think the problem with the colonoscopy
that everyone has a tough experience. It's the night before
you got to kind of clean yourself out, and that's
(27:27):
very so it's pretty not great. Yeah that's not great,
but you know what it is. That's just like, you know,
eating some bad food in Mexico or something. Sure, you know.
Also not great, also not great. We're going along with
this toilet, the project toilet. I have a project I'm
(27:52):
doing right now. Yes, And I facetimeed you from this place.
We were at a warehouse with a bunch of appliances
and we were checking some stuff out for our new project,
and our contractor had a great point. We were trying
to figure out different toilets to put in the house. Yeah,
(28:13):
and our contractor said, don't put a heated seat in
the powder room because guests will stay in there longer.
So true, I mean no, you know they won't tinkling
and you're on your phone. I love a heated seat,
I dive out. No. Not. If you're going to go
over to someone's house, you're not going to just be like, hey,
let me just chill on the heated seat. You would
(28:33):
not do that, Listen. I have a massive pet peeve
with people that do more than just sit on the
heated seat in a powder room. That is an absolute yo.
Don't let me catch you knowing that in a power
That is crazy. Ask if there's a downstairs basement bathroom
and I have powder room. Ever Ever, how about I
(28:54):
had a whole breakdown though when Aaron was over the
other day, because Aaron has a thing about not using
hand taels, and I'm with her ever since she brought
it up. I don't like having a towel in the
powder room either for guests, because it's like this, even
if it's a brand, it's still like the paper napkin towel.
Things are better like disposable, one use and done well.
(29:14):
Mine is built into the wall and so it's like
then i'd have to remove it and do whle thing.
There's no space on the side of the counter. So
Aaron was on the other day and she's like, I
need to go to the use the bathroom, and I go, God,
I'm sorry, but I'm upstairs. I haven't even made it
downstairs because I'm still trying to find the undergarment for
the dress I'm wearing. And I just yelled from upstairs,
I'm sorry about the towel. It's like, you know, even
(29:35):
if it's your friends coming over, you're still like, I know,
they're like not into that. Wait, I'm looking at a
giant cobweb by the way in my office. That's great,
So wait, so what did you set a lot? Don't
get a heated seat in the I didn't get a
heated seat for our powder room. No, okay, okay, I
want one. Yeah, no, no, I have a heated seat.
(29:56):
So Steve and I don't in your pay room. No,
we have one in our master okay yeah yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah. We had just my number one thing. When
Steve and I moved in, I was like, we don't
share a bathroom like period and restore, like we share
like there's like double stinks, like you can brush the
seat that night in there, but like you can shower
and you can do all the other things everywhere else.
(30:18):
I don't. Again, going back to our conversation, when I'm
getting ready, I don't need someone lingering like just going,
and I don't want to share a bathroom. I need
to keep like some level of like privacy. So that
would be my advice for people that are working on
anything having to do with bathrooms, get a separate bathroom
for your shot. There was something else with this I
was going to tell you, Oh, speaking of wash class,
(30:41):
I don't know. I've been all over our producer Ryan
to get us a deal with them, but I don't
know if I've talked to you about this. Speaking of
wash Class, do you know what I'm obsessed with? And
speaking of alex orl in her skin This company called
and you can buy it at Target.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Now.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
I get mine like on Amazon, the Clearer Skin Club
or Clear Skin Clothes towels, So they come in a
big box and it's recycled towels, like not towels, but
like almost like how let not okay okay, and it's
what you should be using to take your makeup off
and to dry your face and think about it. I
started bringing them on the road because am I really
(31:21):
gonna wipe my face with a hotel towel which we
don't know where that's been. Oh okay, well I do
use the wash Class in the hotel like the show.
Because I don't like really bad skin. No, you don't
have really bad skin. I don't like using wash cloths
at my own house because it's like a one and done.
It's like, I'm not going to wash those every single time.
It just feels like a lot of laundry. Like do
(31:44):
you do you get a new towel every single time
in the shower? No? No, yeah, I'm not typing my
face on it. No. So the thing about the towel
for me is I will admit I'm excessive with towels too,
but I no more than two times, like and if
I'm like at the ranch, it's a one time and
wash because okay, I'm busy. I just don't like even
(32:06):
coming out of the shower because it's like when you
wipe off and then you still see makeup. I'm like, okay, gross.
So I like the little stringent Tonia pad things. Uh say,
I forget the Dennis something whatever that I use the
one the double pack thing. Okay, fine again me recommended
to use you know, once every three days. We're using
it every day. Fine. Sure. But the wash cloths in
(32:28):
the hotel, I like being able to use those because
then I can just leave them and I don't have
to wash them, you know what I'm saying. And I
feel like I'm really clean after I get all the
like TV makeup off, So I don't have a problem
with that. I mean, you're sleeping in sheets that other
people slept in. That's the whole thing about hotels, you know,
and I only get face on them. How do you
not put your face on a sheet. I bring my
(32:49):
own tempera petic pillow with my own pillowcase. And if
I like to get cozy, just like my son with
his levies, I put We've discussed this. I put a
sweatshirt over my face. Oh my god, you do that well.
But also, do you get your own pillow? I thought
the temper peeding was just for the airplane. No, it's
(33:11):
a travel pillow that I roll up. I have to
for next support. Are you insane? So I don't want
my face on their pillows? You don't sleep with the
hotel pillows? No, Oh my god. I need support mentally
and emotionally. I do too. That's why I use all
four of the four seasons pillows that they provide. In fact,
I need them for my neck. Wow. Interesting, Okay, okay,
(33:35):
I'm not gonna lie. My mom's a really funny gift,
like a great gift giver at Christmas. She gives us,
like my sister and I both like three sets of
Victoria's Secret PJS that are like thin and like long
sleeve and pants. And that's what I'm wearing to the hotels.
So my body isn't fully touching touching. I get that.
(33:56):
I get I wear sweats and a T shirt. But like,
but I'm not gonna lie to you. I get to
a four season and they're crispy. I'm touching. I love it. Yeah.
I was like, wait a minute, crazy, I love their
pillows so much. I might not have their app, but
I love their pillows so much. Part of Steve's Christmas
president was the four Seasons pillows. This guy uses six
pillows to sleep with. I'm not kidding. One between the legs,
(34:16):
two behind the head, one on the back, one in
front of him. We have so many goddamn pillows here,
I mean, and I love some pillows. Don't tep me
with a good time for decorative pillows. But I'm like,
at night, it's like he's building a floor over on
his side of the bed every night. Do you know
what I've never told you? And we were afraid we
weren't going to have anything to talk about. There is
a guy you got born yet we have met. I
(34:37):
will never be able to look at throw pillows the
same again. He was like, let me guess you have
a lot of throw pillows you're a female. Yeah, a
ton on our bed. So many? He goes, what do
you do with him at night, throw them to the side.
He did two until one night he had to get
up to go to the bathroom. He tripped, he fell,
He bashed his head on his his night side table,
(35:01):
which was like expensive what, I don't know whatever hit
it fell back. Not only did he have a massive gash,
he broke his neck. Oh my god, someone I know.
I don't know you, I know you. I don't think
you've met him. Broke his neck, broke his neck. Listen
(35:22):
to this. His wife makes him, takes him to the
emergency room. They have to transport him to like a
special hospital because they were worried he was going to
be paralyzed with the surgery he was getting done. Oh
my god, getting up to go to the bathroom, and
he tripped on the pillows. You're never gonna look at
yours the same again. I'm gonna tell you why, And
(35:45):
actually I'm gonna tell Steve because it's his side of
the bed that has We call it the pillow graveyard
because I said, at night, they just all go over there,
that's his side. Oh my god, he better be careful
between the you know, taping his mouth at night and
I won't even hear him scream if you need help,
I'm down. The tape is now being long off. He'll
wake up and it's flapping on one side. I'm so
(36:08):
done with the tape. You guys for those went and
got magnetic things for his nose to like help with
the breathing. It's like a magnetic thing that he ordered
it from Amazon. It ended up taking a month to
get there because it was coming from China. And he's like, God,
I don't know what's going on. It's not helping the
breathe rights are better than this one. And then the
(36:30):
tape flapping, and he's always like, oh, it's my beard
that's doing this for the view that would like a recap.
We're trying to get just up snoring. Steve uses this
tape at night. It's not helping. Jareded I gotta go
get my skin checked. I need a mammogram. Aaron doesn't
have a heated toilet in her powder room. You can't

get ourselves. I don't want to guests to say we
love Jimmy Johnson. Thank you guys for joining us. Hie
