Let's just watch Kurt, like everyone says, like how He's like,

I just clicked on a random season and the episode
that comes up is he's dating Lucy Lure or whatever
and he runs into a glass fucking thing. And I'm like, Aaron,
that's what happened at the wedding.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
And then I looked at Steve and I go, this
is what happened when Larry was my plus one to
Aaron's wedding. He ran into a glass window. I was like,
is he writing about this? Calm Down with Erin and
Carissa is a production of iHeartRadio. I'm at the stage
with my skin right now that there is a massive
(00:41):
system much like the storm over Los Angeles brewing, and

I feel very lucky to not get that. And I
have right here and I am like doing every Abriva,
every Valel tracks. I'm not stressed. I don't know why.
It's it's just we've got you already taking the blue
pail for it, because those knock stuff out. It's the
valve jacks whatever, they're not blue. Yeah, and I never
and I am like shout out to not shout out.

Anyone that gets these on a regular basis. My husband

I think that if you get on that blue pail
really really quick, it helps I get them. We talked
accusing by I grow with val trecks. Is a blue pill? Oh?
(01:43):
I got the generic white one. But yeah, I'm trying
to make sure that this thing stays packed under control.
Hence why maybe there's seven pounds of lipstick on because
we're trying to make sure that that Hi, everybody, Welcome
to the comm Down podcast. For those of you that
can see this and aren't just list listening to it,
our gal is looking like a CEO dream in a
(02:04):
beautiful red suit. Her hair is flowing, the necklace all
the things in Las Vegas with a Super Bowl, just
doing all the things you look fantastic or just d
thank you. I but wait, I want to pick back
up because we're doing a new thing where we're actually
going to have an itinerary, a schedule, PowerPoint. So I
get we've discussed this cold sours. I get them right
(02:25):
outside my nose, right before I get a massive upper
respiratory infection. And this is always the time of the
year that I get them because we're finished. My body
knows it, and it's like CBBAM, let it all hang out.
So we've got a big show for you, Aaron's Vegas.
We'll talk about that in the second. Also, what else
do you want to discuss my darling?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Oh, chrisa Ryan.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Our producer, and I have this thing when something is
bothering us during the week, instead of going to therapy
or discussing it like normal people, adults, adults, they call you,
we want to vent about it right here on the
Calm Down Podcast. My biggest it's not my biggest pet peeve.
My pet peeve for this week is when you're waiting
(03:05):
for some news via text, and you're waiting, You're waiting, rate,
keep checking, keep checking, and then finally the person texts
you and it said, hey, erin.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
And what tell me answer me?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Give me a sign batman like this is I no
need to say hi by you texting, It's already hello.
Just give it to me, give me the news, give
me you know, wait, hold on, I got to.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Get into all this. We're that.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
We will elaborate on that in a second. I'm also
going to say, why do I have to give my
email for everything? You are going to give us an
update on taking Macaroon to the mountains for the first time?
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
And then also, oh shit, now I get what you're doing.
Let's start with the super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
You're in Vegas? Sorry, yep, okay, great, I'm in Life TV.
You're doing great. Great.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
And then I'm also going to discuss how it's really
important to return to places that you used to work at. Okay,
I want to go back to Las Vegas. Yeah. So,
of course the super Bowl is upon us. Our podcast
airs on Thursday, so we're still going to be a
couple of days away from the big Game.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I always left me.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Hey, fun fact, by the way, do you know why
the super Bowl is called the super Bowl? Here we go,
Lamar Hunt, the owner of course, the family that the
original owner of and still in his family. Lamar Hunt
rest in peace, but family owns the Kansas City Chiefs.
His son was and I don't know. I'm assuming it's Clark.
(04:30):
I don't know that, so I should probably get fact
check on that. Ryan helped me out. Here was playing
with a little ball and it was called the super Bowl,
and so Lamar Hunt was like, oh, we should call
this game the super Bowl. And it was all derived
from the Hunt family and a little ball that he
was playing with his son was playing with called the
super Bowl owner. If he trademarked that and sold it
(04:53):
to the NFL, I don't know, but yeah, I learned
that from Jim Nance this morning, from when he was
doing an interview, and I didn't know the origination of
which I should have.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
But here we are.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
So you're in the great city, my favorite city of
Las Vegas, for the Super Bowl. It is Monday, Tuesday
when we take this, and it's already chaos.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Elaborate.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
I mean it's not chaos, but you can tell things
really start heating up this week. Super Bowl weeks usually
on a Wednesday, they're in full swing. On a Thursday, Friday,
it's just it's off the rail. Saturday everybody's like, let's
get there, let's get there to Sunday. But yeah, you
can tell, like it's all it's pretty overcast today. It
looks like it was raining a little bit today. I've
(05:34):
been inside most of the day, as everybody does here
in Vegas, and it's getting wild and like when the
weather gets great, which I think is supposed to be tomorrow.
They have all the sets outside of the Belagio, like
people are just ramping up. At the hotel I'm staying
at right now, they have really cool, well done painted
painted pictures and photographs of Super Bowl greats. And I
(05:56):
was walking to my room and looking all of them
in really cool pictures.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
It's awesome.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
But yeah, this is a great city to do this.
It's not my favorite city to come to in terms
of doing it right. Staying at a good hotel, going
to nice dinners, I love that, But I'm not into
the smell. Like we walked through a casino today and
I go, my god, this smells great. I hate that shit.
I hate smelling it when I go to sleep at night.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
I don't love it. I don't love it.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Oh me, I'm I'm little miss Vegas. I'm there's probably
a reason that I'm not there because I would find
myself having too much fun. However, I am I'm bummed
that it's not Fox's super Bowl in Vegas because Fox
knows how to throw our people. Like when we had
the Super Bowl in New York and our set was
(06:42):
set up in Times Square and it was just like
they know it's they know how to do it, and
like think about Miami, Like it was beautiful the sets
that they put together. So yeah, I'm bummed that Fox
doesn't have the opportunity to host in Vegas because they
would do it and they would.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Do it right.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Yeah. But on the other side of that point you
heard me, is it's different when it's not our game, which,
like I'm always a little bit bummed because I'm like, oh,
I want to be like, you know, with the field
on the field with you right before you're going to
do your hit, and I want to do pre game stuff.
But it also is nice to be a fan and
just sit back and like watch all the coverage from AFAR.
(07:18):
So you're going to be there for a couple of days. See,
I disagree. I need to know the injury updates right away.
I don't want to wait for somebody to report it
to me. I want to read the doctor's lips. I
want to ask the doctor myself what it really is. Like,
I want to know if rock Perty is struggling. I
want to know what like Trent Williams is saying. I
want to know what Kurshia McCaffrey is doing, like I,
if I'm going to watch it, I want to be there.
(07:39):
I want to be on the sideline. So I need
I in fact, think I need to talk to Kyle
at halftime, regardless if I'm covering the game or not.
I feel like I've done every big damn game that
forty nine ers have played in this year. So Kyle,
I have some questions, which actually is a good point.
I mean, yes, I do want to be a fan
and watch sometimes. Would my preference be to cover it?
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Of course? Yeah, said I am really torn.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
So for my DraftKings uh parlay, Like, I had to
pick a bunch of guys, and you know, I think
Travis Kels is gonna score. I think George kat okay, whatever,
So I have a whole list. Normally I have no
problem being like I think SO and SO is gonna win.
I think SO and I can't and I won't do it,
and I didn't put it on my parlay because I
I don't and it's not good.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
I think it's professional, but like I feel like I'm
emotionally connected the same you probably more. You are more
than I am because you actually have covered these teams.
I'm like been on the field with them for a
lot of the season. With Amazon, I only get to
see these guys you know, once here or there, but
just personally, like the guys that like I love on
(08:45):
both of these teams. I have a hard time disseminating,
like being like okay, like this is just pick the winner,
and I'm not going to pick the winner because I
want them both to win and it would be sad
whoever loses in this one.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
So yeah, no, I know.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
I'm actually you're going to be in Seattle. We talked
about this last podcast. I don't want to watch with anybody,
like I want to do my own thing. So I'm
inviting people for my crew to come to my house
because honestly, I would be texting them anyway, so I
might come over let's just sit and like talk about things,
because that saves me a text message okay, but.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Don't forget about don't put your phone down because I'm
gonna need to talk. I know you. I'll have I'll
just FaceTime you and I'll have it. Yeah, we talked to.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Grocy and Casey and all them CUTEQ gets very sweet
of you host this with the hosting is a lot
of work.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
I'm not good at it. I'm not good at I'm terrible.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
I put out like bowls of chips and I'm like,
so the other night, we were going to host a
couple of Steve's friends and he's like, I go, do
we need to make a shark cotery plate? He goes,
you don't know how to make a shark coutery plate.
I'm like, your god, damn right. I don't know how
to make a short cuttery play. I don't know if
we even have a board or a plate to serve
this on. I never host. I'm the worst. We panicked
about it all day and then at the last minute
(09:58):
they ended up having to cancel and I looked at
Stephen I was like, oh, I'm kind of happy they
canceled because I was like, I don't know how to host.
I'm terrible, Like I am getting up and offering are
we reploring the drink of?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Like what are we doing? How long do they stay?
Like how? I don't know. I have a lot of questions.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
And I admire anyone that likes the hosting role, because
I mean, I like to host television shows, not parties,
not for me. I have a couple of girlfriends that
are incredible hosts, and they're at different levels, like some
are kind of high end levels and great cooks, and
then my other friends are like great hosts and then
great hosts for the kids too, And it's just like Jesus,
like so much pressure. I'm just not good at it,
(10:35):
and it actually gives me so much anxiety and could
in fact ruin my week. No, No, you're not wrong.
The whole day all I could think about. He's like, hey,
do you want to go do this? And I'm like,
I don't know. I just can't. I can't stop thinking
about how we're gonna have to host this thing later
and I don't know what to do, and like I
can't cook. So then it's like, oh we ordering did
we order the food too soon?
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Do we order too late?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
When if they don't like the food, it's a lot
of pressure.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
All right, So.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Going back and sticking to our rundown because you're very organized,
you alluded to this text that you got that just
said hi, Erin and then nothing else. Well, there's a
couple questions that I have here. How long did it
take from the high to the follow up text? Probably
like four minutes, which seemed like forty five minutes. But
(11:30):
I was just waiting for some information that was also
causing me some anxiety to like figure something out. And
I just said to my husband, why are they saying
hi to me? Like I've been waiting for it. There's
no need to say hi the second you text me.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
That's a high.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
So anyways, I instantly then went to Ryan and you
and I said this could be a podcast. And then
it turns into a hole Larry David thing Like everybody
can relate to that when they're waiting for a text.
And then the people are like, hey, hey Erin, what's up?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
No bubble? What?
Speaker 1 (12:00):
What?
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Just write it? What the agnon?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Right? Also, you have done this, and I know we've
talked about it before. When you go call me no
no oh, now I'm sweating. Now something's wrongs. It kicks
right in and I go to the worst case scenario,
because it always is the worst case scenario. So do
not text call me, or then if I call and
you don't answer, now we've got a real problem. Now
(12:26):
I am sweating, what anxiety has kicked in? And then
you did this to me one time hours went by
hours and I called you, and then you finally called
me back and you're like.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Oh, sorry, I'm sorry. I just wanted to talk.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
And I'm like, oh, Aaron, don't you ever do that
to me again?
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I'm like I was assuming you were. Someone has died,
we've been fired, the house is on fire, someone we
know is in trouble. Get these are all terrible things. Yep.
So proper text etiquette, do not say hi and without
any supporting information right away, Like to your point, you've
(13:04):
said the text leave got yep, right into the information.
What are some other ones that you can't text without
follow up?
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Call me?
Speaker 1 (13:14):
You've got to call, like, you've got to give some
context to that. We we said one before you talk.
The test results are in, Like what test results? The
test results are in? M h, do you have a
second But I also hate that hate that one. Hey,
when you get a second I used to make my
(13:35):
old agent Nick, when he would text anything, he'd have
to write all good after it because I don't want
to see that text. And that's or we have a
panic a test because the amount of time it's even
taken for me to call you, I'm panicking, yep, So
just say all good, yeah, yeah, I want to know
you guys listening. What are some other texts that you
get that you're just like nope, nope, okay, so that
(13:58):
was your text etiquette really good. Speaking of Kurb, by
the way, so I never watched it, and I told you, like,
I never watched it because.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Oh, it just came out.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
So I've, you know whatever, known Larry for a millionaires,
and I never wanted to watch his shows because it
just was always like it was weird to watch it.
If you know the person, then you're also like, but
that's exactly him weird anyway, But so he his new
season came out and I was like, you know what,
I was like, I'm we were Steve and I spend
so much time scrolling around looking for a freaking series
(14:29):
and we can't find one, and I'm like, hey, do
you want let's just watch Kurb? Like everyone says like
how He's like it's so funny, like we should just
watch it. So I just clicked on a random season
and the episode that comes up is he's dating Lucy
Leu or whatever and he runs into a glass fucking thing.
And I'm like, Aaron, that's what happened at the wedding. Yeah,
(14:50):
And then I looked at Steve and I go, this
is what happened when Larry was my plus one in
Aaron's wedding. He ran into a glass window. I was like,
is he writing about this? And then the whole episode,
I'm just like laughing because I'm like, wait, why have
I not watched this? Because probably because my own anxiety
was I'm like, oh, Jesus, is he writing about like
us at some of these points where, by the way,
(15:11):
let's not be so arrogant that he's writing about.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Us, but there is that.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
The one episode I clicked on was him yawning into
a glass window, which he did. So we watched that
episode and we started panicking because we were like, oh
my god, this is from our wedding.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
What else could be in there? Right?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
And then you told me there was a plane episode
which also went back to it could be trace the
wedding now again. Maybe he's run into a window another time,
or maybe he's had a shared plane situation with someone else.
But for someone who doesn't watch the show, the first episode,
I click on and I was like, what is happening here?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Anyways?
Speaker 1 (15:49):
But I'm so happy that he's still doing the show.
And even though he always says every season's his last season,
I know it makes him so happy. So I'm gonna
watch a few more episodes and then watch My class.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
It's so good, it's so good. Yes, go back, but you.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Know this about me, I don't go. I start like
a book at the end. I start seasons at the end.
I do not have to watch wait for this in succession.
What a great show is that season?
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Coming back? Are we doing that? They filmed it so good?
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Officially they just won everything for the Globes, I think.
But yeah, I'm someone that has no problem jumping in
like mid season on things or random sporadic episodes. I
don't have to go chronologically, which drives a lot of
people nuts. But we are watching the final season of
The Crown and it is the one, obviously where Diana dies,
(16:42):
and I started crying the other. I mean, you know
what's going to happen. And it wasn't her wreck that
made me cry. I think it was something about like
the boys, and like then I was telling my girlfriends
like we were taking a flight home from Montana for
me to drop the baby off before I could come here,
and I was like having such panic about turbulence, and
(17:03):
I looked over at the people we were traveling with,
and I go, God, the Crowns were like, fucked me up.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Wait, Princess Diana.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
I have a couple questions about that. So you have
you watched The Crown Yes, like all the way hees. Oh, okay,
it's so good. You'll hate me for this. I when
I saw that it was going to be an episode
about Dane, I just went straight in. I'd seen no
Prezas episodes. I just went straight. Isn't the actress amazing?
She's amazing.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Oh no, she's incredible. Yeah, is that actor?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
I don't know, some English accent or accent actress. She's
They're all fantastic. It's so well casting, except for can
I just say the season six, which is the final one,
Harry is not Harry? Like that doesn't look like a Harry. Oh,
William is perfect. I think even the King Charles the
Camilla is amazing, but Harry is weird.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
That's not Harry.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
I have a lot of questions about casting, Like casting
agents are the most powerful people in the world. I
think about you change people's lives. Yeah, and what are
the to become a casting agent? And like those initial
c s A, I think like our next has no
idea that that's what you were talking about.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I want to find uh.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Well, this also goes back to that same episode that
I was watching for the Curb one where he's gotta
put this girl in his show because someone died in his.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Pool and so so good. Okay, so what.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Who came Ryan, Mary, Elizabeth something? It's so good that
maybe one of the best seasons of Curb ever. Oh well,
then I picked a good one. Yeah, I just randomly
because I didn't want to go way back. And then
I was like, anyways, but who these casting agents? Does
anyone know a casting agent? I've got questions for them?
How did you become one? Like do you do favors?
(18:42):
Of course you'd have.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
To, sure, right, like that show, yeah, the politics of it,
it's so interesting.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Well, and then people like sleep with casting agents, right,
probably to get good game the casting couch like you.
Oh right, wasn't that a whole thing? Like you got
the job on the casting couch. I don't know the actress.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
This is a whole other world. We don't know about this.
We don't Hey, what you do know? Oh, Mary Sophia.
Mary Sophia is so good. I'm also like.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
This is pretty typical of me, whether it's fashion, whether
it shows like I always late to the party, but
once I arrived at the party, per Aaron's great endorsement
of me, I am a time. You were just going
to show up late. So okay, So into that other
question that I had for you, Why am I yelling?
I gotta also stop yelling. I watch back because I'm
trying to do this is me When the season is over,
(19:40):
I have to stay busy because idle time with me
is not good. So I did a deep dive into
podcast things I like, things I don't like about other podcasts,
things that we could be better on our So I
listened to some of ours back. Holy fuck, I need
to bring it down nine hundred levels. I get so
excited and I talk so fast, and then I'm loud.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
It's just a we can stay right here and still
show some enthusiasm. Okay, that's what I mean.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
We're not Delilah after dark, for God's sakes, it is Albreton, like,
this is a game break and use my game break voice.
But my other questions I had for you before. My
enthusiasm of life just takes over my body. And then
I took mac Rooney.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Who is that Kevin? Is that me?
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Kevin?
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Yeah, Kevin exactly? Macaroon to the mountains for the first time.
So tell me everything. The gear, a lot of baby stuff,
a lot of clothes, the mitten, the shoe child oh god,
a boot fell. Where's his other glove? We're like on
this sky lift. Oh shit, there it is. It was great.
It was super fun. Altitude does get to babies, which
(20:42):
is crazy. He is teating so add that giant whopper
on there. The sleeping was all kind of screwed up.
But besides all that, we had fun taking him in
the gondola.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
So cute.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
We have such a fun video. Our nanny is so great.
But Snoop Dogg has a chill ldren's album and it's
called Doggie Land, and there's this one song called Affirmation,
and it's like I love myself, I love myself, my
parents are wonderful, like's your daily affirmations.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
It is such a fun song.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
We were listening to it on the gondola ride, singing
like we were those people. And then yeah, we sent
you and Steve videos and your adorable monclaur. Yes, my
friends are ridiculously amazing to my baby jacket happens when
you don't have kids. You can buy your friend's kids
whatever you want and they can't say anything about it,
and they don't. You don't, don't die this for them.
It was so nice of you. But he was like
(21:37):
swatting away the little snowflakes. And then took him in
the hot tub, which he loved, and it was fun.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
It was really really cute. But yeah, it was a
good time. But he's almost done, so that's okay. But
it was good, how fun.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Just different experiences that like you're so used to doing
on your own, and then you add a little nugget
into the mix.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
It's so sweet.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
I can't wait to see him on ski. I know
he'll be a way better skier than I ever, you know,
would hope to be. But you know you start him
early and then they have no fear on like the mother.
I told you and Ryan when we were getting together
all our topics for the show last year, I discussed
and I had a ski instructor that said, if you
sing while you ski, that loosens you up. And I
(22:18):
was trying to do West Coast rap and that was helpful.
And then this year obviously is the year of Taylor Swift,
and I was singing the song that I'm obsessed with.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Oh Jesus, why do I always forget about it? Hold on?
Hold on? Because there's so many they're speaking? Is it over?
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Now?
Speaker 2 (22:41):
I love it? It's my favorite song. I don't know
what that was it over? When when she laid down
on your couch? Was it over when he unbutted my blouse?
Come here?
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Anyways, I was seeing that, and then at one point
I was really, so, it's nineteen eighty nine. It's a
it's a deluxe or something, vault version or something.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
It's amazing.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
So anyways, I was seeing that, but I was really
getting into the chorus and really feeling myself, even though
I look so stiff when I ski, and my instructor
was like.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Are you okay, and I was like, oh yeah, I
wasn't in pain. I was just singing.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
First of all, this would be my song if I
was going down the mountains, as evidenced by my skiing
adventure last year with you Are we out of.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
The woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet?
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (23:31):
We out of the woods yet? In the clear? Whatever was?
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Aaron is a fantastic skier. I just got down play. Okay,
here we go. This is my turn. Lock it up.
Aaron's gonna downplay it. It's just what she does. For
those of you that missed the episode last year, or
like made you arrive at episodes later in life or
out of it sporadically or out of order. Aaron and
I went skiing last year. I in my mind thought
I was Peekaboo Street because when I grew up in Seattle,
(23:58):
I was go stating it a lot, go to Whistler
Black Home. I'm like, oh yeah, I'm like such a
good scare. In my mind, I was, at least at
one point I thought I was we get down the
mountain and I'm like, oh my god, I am terrible.
And I will say this. I'm the first person to
say I think I'm a very athletic person. You are
up basketball, I can throw football, I can do a
lot of things. Yeah, and I pride myself on being
(24:20):
an athlete. You talk about being humbled that mountain. Kendra
and I even last year when we were together, when
we went up there, We're like, oh, hell no, Steve's
like double black diamond. This bitch is black. And I
was like, bye, we'll go down the bunny hill. I'm
doing the pizza, not the fries. I mean, never in
my life did I like was so delusional about who
I am on skis. But anyways, Aaron's a fantastic skier.
(24:43):
Her child's going to be a great skier, and you're adorable.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
He is going to be a good one.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Going back to our rundown, I mentioned something real quickly
where I had said email for I love this. All right,
everyone settling because this thing gets me. We go to
the stores nowadays, yes you heard me, stores.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
I buy a lot of online Amazon things like that.
But let's say you actually venture out. You go to
the mall or wherever you buy stuff, and this is
happening all the time, and it's driving me nuts. I
check out, here's the items i'd like to buy. Also,
I like when you get up to the register and
you put everything down, they're like, oh, is there anything
else you want? Tom like, no, that's here, it is.
(25:30):
That's why I'm at the register. I have seventy five
items over here that I didn't bring to the register
that I want. No, So, yes, these are the items
i'd like to buy. They go, all right, Can I
get a phone number? I don't want to give you
my phone number. I just want I just want to
buy my phone number. Just want to buy these Oh, well,
we just want to need it for the profile. I
don't have a profile. Oh, we need to set up
(25:50):
a profile in order for you to be in the system.
I don't want to be in the system. I just
want to buy the items. Okay, Well, can I get
an email? No, I don't want to give you my email.
I just want to buy these items. Okay, Well, then
you're not going to be able to get a receipt.
Why does the print or not? We don't print receipts anymore.
We just that's the only way that I can get
a receipt is if I give you my phone number,
my email, my firstborn, my social security number, ma'am. With
(26:14):
all due respect, I just want to buy these items.
I want you to print me out a little receipt
and I want to be on my merry way.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Well, they get a real attitude.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
And I say this as a former sales associate at
north Side, but like I am telling you, I don't
want to give you my information because then I'm going
to get the emails and I'm going to get the
random sales calls. I don't want it, and they get
a real attitude about it, like, well fine, then you
won't be able to return this. And it's like, why
can I not just buy items and get a receipt
(26:45):
without being in your data? Of this every everybody needs
all my information. No, you're not getting it, and in fact,
if you keep that up, I'm taking these items out
of here. I also feel you judged. It's like I've
come home. I've stated this hotel four times. Have you
been to this hotel before?
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (27:00):
I have four times. I've been here with you, Chris
at like you know, I mean, have you shopped with
us before? I have?
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Okay? Does it look like I should wear the items?
Does it look like I shouldn't be shopping here. What
are you saying?
Speaker 1 (27:15):
I just don't understand, Like, where are the days where
you just can go in and buy something and leave
with the receipt? And now I'm big on receipts. And
that's not just because of Dion Sanders. That's because of
after my breaking the goddamn insurance company asked forevery receipt
I ever had? You should see my filing system. You
have thirty four thousand reasons didn't want a receipt? Twenty
(27:37):
what's the song you and Kendra A twenty four thousand,
three hundred and sixty five?
Speaker 2 (27:42):
What's this?
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Now?
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Come on? It's from like a Broadway play?
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Oh, thirty four three hundred sixty Come on, you're like
little miss Broadway. You should know this. It's like from
a play or something. Anyways, that's my rant about going
into these stores. And I don't want to give you
my information. I just want to I just want to
buy a dress for dinner.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Tonight to night tonight. All right. Next up.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
You we talked about your skiing update, which is fantastic. Last,
but not least, going back to what I just mentioned
about places, you were one thing a sales associate, A
sales sales associated Norsemen's one of my many jobs. So
I text you the other day. Everything goes back to
everything I do in my life. I text Aeron about
I had a little time. I was in Marina del
(28:32):
Rey for something. Oh, I know, because I went to
the it's off season for me already, and I'm my
to do list. I'm checking shit off. I wanted this
olive tree in the back of my yard forever. So
I got the olive tree. But then I needed to
get a pot for it. So I went marched myself
to the cute little green whatever it's called, nursery that's
down the street, got myself a pot, and then I
(28:54):
have like a few like an hour or whatever before
I do something now. So I was like, you know,
I'm gonna take myself to the cheesecake factory. As a
former way the cheesecake factory.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
I thought to myself, what are you doing there?
Speaker 1 (29:04):
So I just marched right in and I sat myself
right at the bar, and I was like, and I
didn't even have a drink, shocker. I just was like,
I'm going to order my favorite And I hadn't been
to a cheesecake factory, babe in I don't know, ten years,
Like I don't know, just not a lot of them
around where I live, and there.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Wasn't this particular case. I was like, I'm gonna go.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
I got the buffalo chicken salad thing and it comes
with the onion rings on the top.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
It was so good.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
I got the lunch sized abortion and I just sat
there and I just had the best time by myself
looking around and thinking to myself, like it's so important
to go back to places you used to work. Because
I sat there and this is like a little moment
where I was like, if I could go back and
tell the Carissa that worked at the cheesecake factory in
Bellevue Square in two thousand and four in Seattle, like
(29:49):
this is how my let twenty years later, what it's
going to look at look like.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
I would have just been. I don't know. I was.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
I think it's really important to go back and appreciate
places that you've worked so you can appreciate how far
you've come. And that path has obviously been littered with
highs and lows over the past twenty years. But I
don't know, I was like nostalgic for me to just
sit there and think about the twenty years since I
had worked there, And also how important is if God forbid,
(30:17):
knock on whatever, if I lose my jobs and I
got to go back and work there, I would just
be happy as a clam. I get a great discount,
a great food, very lovely people that work there.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
So I don't know. It was just like a full circle.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Moment, and I think it's important to do that if
you've ever had a job somewhere and just think about
the little you know. Twenty two year old Aaron Andrews
that worked at do you want to come back to me?
With No?
Speaker 2 (30:41):
They wouldn't accept me. Didn't you want to? Do you
want to come back to me? To Adventure Island in
Tampa the Push.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Gardens water Park and we can get your red speedo
suit and push people across your arms, crush your legs,
have a great ride.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Yes, and you can't man. You can stand on your
water tube, ma'am.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
You need to put your bottom through the hole, hold
on to the handrails and have a great ride. Thank
you for visiting Adventure Island. Cross your arms, cross your legs,
enjoy your time at Adventure Island. Time out, So you
were responsible for putting these people in down the water side.

to give a little shove. Crush your arms, crush your legs. Okay,
thanks for visiting.
Speaker 2 (31:33):

red speedo one piece and just really take a look
around and go down the Tampa Typhoon. After I cross
my arms and cross my legs, you go over the
Gulf stream, plug your nose because that water will shoot
right up. Have a great day. Thanks for visiting Adventure.
You're adorable. Can I offer you guys a cheesecake? My
(32:04):
personal favorite it is the white chocolate raspberry truffle, but
we also have oreole big favorite amongst everyone here visiting
cheesecake factories. This is your first time at cheesecake factory.
It's a very large menu, so I'll give you guys
some time while you're getting some time to look over
and peruse the menu. May I offer you some bread.
Everyone loves the brown bread. You want brown and white.
I see you have a baby. Let me cut up
those bananas for your baby.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
I also like Glinda's fudge cake there.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
It was so cool. So you were the one interesting.
But yes, I encourage anyone to go back to one
of their first jobs and just look around and think
to yourself like, hey, there's a great gig. If you
have to go back and do it, then fine, But
there's you know, lots of lots of things in between them.

the things in Las Vegas with a Super Bowl, just
doing all the things you look fantastic or just d

So we've got a big show for you, Aaron's Vegas.
We'll talk about that in the second. Also, what else
do you want to discuss my darling?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Oh, chrisa Ryan.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Our producer, and I have this thing when something is
bothering us during the week, instead of going to therapy
or discussing it like normal people, adults, adults, they call you,
we want to vent about it right here on the
Calm Down Podcast. My biggest it's not my biggest pet peeve.
My pet peeve for this week is when you're waiting
(03:05):
for some news via text, and you're waiting, You're waiting, rate,
keep checking, keep checking, and then finally the person texts
you and it said, hey, erin.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
And what tell me answer me?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Give me a sign batman like this is I no
need to say hi by you texting, It's already hello.
Just give it to me, give me the news, give
me you know, wait, hold on, I got to.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Get into all this. We're that.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
We will elaborate on that in a second. I'm also
going to say, why do I have to give my
email for everything? You are going to give us an
update on taking Macaroon to the mountains for the first time?
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
And then also, oh shit, now I get what you're doing.
Let's start with the super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
You're in Vegas? Sorry, yep, okay, great, I'm in Life TV.
You're doing great. Great.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
And then I'm also going to discuss how it's really
important to return to places that you used to work at. Okay,
I want to go back to Las Vegas. Yeah. So,
of course the super Bowl is upon us. Our podcast
airs on Thursday, so we're still going to be a
couple of days away from the big Game.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I always left me.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Hey, fun fact, by the way, do you know why
the super Bowl is called the super Bowl? Here we go,
Lamar Hunt, the owner of course, the family that the
original owner of and still in his family. Lamar Hunt
rest in peace, but family owns the Kansas City Chiefs.
His son was and I don't know. I'm assuming it's Clark.
(04:30):
I don't know that, so I should probably get fact
check on that. Ryan helped me out. Here was playing
with a little ball and it was called the super Bowl,
and so Lamar Hunt was like, oh, we should call
this game the super Bowl. And it was all derived
from the Hunt family and a little ball that he
was playing with his son was playing with called the
super Bowl owner. If he trademarked that and sold it
(04:53):
to the NFL, I don't know, but yeah, I learned
that from Jim Nance this morning, from when he was
doing an interview, and I didn't know the origination of
which I should have.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
But here we are.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
So you're in the great city, my favorite city of
Las Vegas, for the Super Bowl. It is Monday, Tuesday
when we take this, and it's already chaos.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Elaborate.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
I mean it's not chaos, but you can tell things
really start heating up this week. Super Bowl weeks usually
on a Wednesday, they're in full swing. On a Thursday, Friday,
it's just it's off the rail. Saturday everybody's like, let's
get there, let's get there to Sunday. But yeah, you
can tell, like it's all it's pretty overcast today. It
looks like it was raining a little bit today. I've
(05:34):
been inside most of the day, as everybody does here
in Vegas, and it's getting wild and like when the
weather gets great, which I think is supposed to be tomorrow.
They have all the sets outside of the Belagio, like
people are just ramping up. At the hotel I'm staying
at right now, they have really cool, well done painted
painted pictures and photographs of Super Bowl greats. And I
(05:56):
was walking to my room and looking all of them
in really cool pictures.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
It's awesome.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
But yeah, this is a great city to do this.
It's not my favorite city to come to in terms
of doing it right. Staying at a good hotel, going
to nice dinners, I love that, But I'm not into
the smell. Like we walked through a casino today and
I go, my god, this smells great. I hate that shit.
I hate smelling it when I go to sleep at night.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
I don't love it. I don't love it.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Oh me, I'm I'm little miss Vegas. I'm there's probably
a reason that I'm not there because I would find
myself having too much fun. However, I am I'm bummed
that it's not Fox's super Bowl in Vegas because Fox
knows how to throw our people. Like when we had
the Super Bowl in New York and our set was
(06:42):
set up in Times Square and it was just like
they know it's they know how to do it, and
like think about Miami, Like it was beautiful the sets
that they put together. So yeah, I'm bummed that Fox
doesn't have the opportunity to host in Vegas because they
would do it and they would.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Do it right.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Yeah. But on the other side of that point you
heard me, is it's different when it's not our game, which,
like I'm always a little bit bummed because I'm like, oh,
I want to be like, you know, with the field
on the field with you right before you're going to
do your hit, and I want to do pre game stuff.
But it also is nice to be a fan and
just sit back and like watch all the coverage from AFAR.
(07:18):
So you're going to be there for a couple of days. See,
I disagree. I need to know the injury updates right away.
I don't want to wait for somebody to report it
to me. I want to read the doctor's lips. I
want to ask the doctor myself what it really is. Like,
I want to know if rock Perty is struggling. I
want to know what like Trent Williams is saying. I
want to know what Kurshia McCaffrey is doing, like I,
if I'm going to watch it, I want to be there.
(07:39):
I want to be on the sideline. So I need
I in fact, think I need to talk to Kyle
at halftime, regardless if I'm covering the game or not.
I feel like I've done every big damn game that
forty nine ers have played in this year. So Kyle,
I have some questions, which actually is a good point.
I mean, yes, I do want to be a fan
and watch sometimes. Would my preference be to cover it?
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Of course? Yeah, said I am really torn.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
So for my DraftKings uh parlay, Like, I had to
pick a bunch of guys, and you know, I think
Travis Kels is gonna score. I think George kat okay, whatever,
So I have a whole list. Normally I have no
problem being like I think SO and SO is gonna win.
I think SO and I can't and I won't do it,
and I didn't put it on my parlay because I
I don't and it's not good.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
I think it's professional, but like I feel like I'm
emotionally connected the same you probably more. You are more
than I am because you actually have covered these teams.
I'm like been on the field with them for a
lot of the season. With Amazon, I only get to
see these guys you know, once here or there, but
just personally, like the guys that like I love on
(08:45):
both of these teams. I have a hard time disseminating,
like being like okay, like this is just pick the winner,
and I'm not going to pick the winner because I
want them both to win and it would be sad
whoever loses in this one.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
So yeah, no, I know.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
I'm actually you're going to be in Seattle. We talked
about this last podcast. I don't want to watch with anybody,
like I want to do my own thing. So I'm
inviting people for my crew to come to my house
because honestly, I would be texting them anyway, so I
might come over let's just sit and like talk about things,
because that saves me a text message okay, but.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Don't forget about don't put your phone down because I'm
gonna need to talk. I know you. I'll have I'll
just FaceTime you and I'll have it. Yeah, we talked to.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Grocy and Casey and all them CUTEQ gets very sweet
of you host this with the hosting is a lot
of work.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
I'm not good at it. I'm not good at I'm terrible.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
I put out like bowls of chips and I'm like,
so the other night, we were going to host a
couple of Steve's friends and he's like, I go, do
we need to make a shark cotery plate? He goes,
you don't know how to make a shark coutery plate.
I'm like, your god, damn right. I don't know how
to make a short cuttery play. I don't know if
we even have a board or a plate to serve
this on. I never host. I'm the worst. We panicked
about it all day and then at the last minute
(09:58):
they ended up having to cancel and I looked at
Stephen I was like, oh, I'm kind of happy they
canceled because I was like, I don't know how to host.
I'm terrible, Like I am getting up and offering are
we reploring the drink of?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Like what are we doing? How long do they stay?
Like how? I don't know. I have a lot of questions.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
And I admire anyone that likes the hosting role, because
I mean, I like to host television shows, not parties,
not for me. I have a couple of girlfriends that
are incredible hosts, and they're at different levels, like some
are kind of high end levels and great cooks, and
then my other friends are like great hosts and then
great hosts for the kids too, And it's just like Jesus,
like so much pressure. I'm just not good at it,
(10:35):
and it actually gives me so much anxiety and could
in fact ruin my week. No, No, you're not wrong.
The whole day all I could think about. He's like, hey,
do you want to go do this? And I'm like,
I don't know. I just can't. I can't stop thinking
about how we're gonna have to host this thing later
and I don't know what to do, and like I
can't cook. So then it's like, oh we ordering did
we order the food too soon?
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Do we order too late?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
When if they don't like the food, it's a lot
of pressure.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
All right, So.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Going back and sticking to our rundown because you're very organized,
you alluded to this text that you got that just
said hi, Erin and then nothing else. Well, there's a
couple questions that I have here. How long did it
take from the high to the follow up text? Probably
like four minutes, which seemed like forty five minutes. But
(11:30):
I was just waiting for some information that was also
causing me some anxiety to like figure something out. And
I just said to my husband, why are they saying
hi to me? Like I've been waiting for it. There's
no need to say hi the second you text me.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
That's a high.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
So anyways, I instantly then went to Ryan and you
and I said this could be a podcast. And then
it turns into a hole Larry David thing Like everybody
can relate to that when they're waiting for a text.
And then the people are like, hey, hey Erin, what's up?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
No bubble? What?
Speaker 1 (12:00):
What?
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Just write it? What the agnon?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Right? Also, you have done this, and I know we've
talked about it before. When you go call me no
no oh, now I'm sweating. Now something's wrongs. It kicks
right in and I go to the worst case scenario,
because it always is the worst case scenario. So do
not text call me, or then if I call and
you don't answer, now we've got a real problem. Now
(12:26):
I am sweating, what anxiety has kicked in? And then
you did this to me one time hours went by
hours and I called you, and then you finally called
me back and you're like.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Oh, sorry, I'm sorry. I just wanted to talk.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
And I'm like, oh, Aaron, don't you ever do that
to me again?
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I'm like I was assuming you were. Someone has died,
we've been fired, the house is on fire, someone we
know is in trouble. Get these are all terrible things. Yep.
So proper text etiquette, do not say hi and without
any supporting information right away, Like to your point, you've
(13:04):
said the text leave got yep, right into the information.
What are some other ones that you can't text without
follow up?
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Call me?
Speaker 1 (13:14):
You've got to call, like, you've got to give some
context to that. We we said one before you talk.
The test results are in, Like what test results? The
test results are in? M h, do you have a
second But I also hate that hate that one. Hey,
when you get a second I used to make my
(13:35):
old agent Nick, when he would text anything, he'd have
to write all good after it because I don't want
to see that text. And that's or we have a
panic a test because the amount of time it's even
taken for me to call you, I'm panicking, yep, So
just say all good, yeah, yeah, I want to know
you guys listening. What are some other texts that you
get that you're just like nope, nope, okay, so that
(13:58):
was your text etiquette really good. Speaking of Kurb, by
the way, so I never watched it, and I told you, like,
I never watched it because.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Oh, it just came out.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
So I've, you know whatever, known Larry for a millionaires,
and I never wanted to watch his shows because it
just was always like it was weird to watch it.
If you know the person, then you're also like, but
that's exactly him weird anyway, But so he his new
season came out and I was like, you know what,
I was like, I'm we were Steve and I spend
so much time scrolling around looking for a freaking series
(14:29):
and we can't find one, and I'm like, hey, do
you want let's just watch Kurb? Like everyone says like
how He's like it's so funny, like we should just
watch it. So I just clicked on a random season
and the episode that comes up is he's dating Lucy
Leu or whatever and he runs into a glass fucking thing.
And I'm like, Aaron, that's what happened at the wedding. Yeah,
(14:50):
And then I looked at Steve and I go, this
is what happened when Larry was my plus one in
Aaron's wedding. He ran into a glass window. I was like,
is he writing about this? And then the whole episode,
I'm just like laughing because I'm like, wait, why have
I not watched this? Because probably because my own anxiety
was I'm like, oh, Jesus, is he writing about like
us at some of these points where, by the way,
(15:11):
let's not be so arrogant that he's writing about.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Us, but there is that.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
The one episode I clicked on was him yawning into
a glass window, which he did. So we watched that
episode and we started panicking because we were like, oh
my god, this is from our wedding.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
What else could be in there? Right?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
And then you told me there was a plane episode
which also went back to it could be trace the
wedding now again. Maybe he's run into a window another time,
or maybe he's had a shared plane situation with someone else.
But for someone who doesn't watch the show, the first episode,
I click on and I was like, what is happening here?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Anyways?
Speaker 1 (15:49):
But I'm so happy that he's still doing the show.
And even though he always says every season's his last season,
I know it makes him so happy. So I'm gonna
watch a few more episodes and then watch My class.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
It's so good, it's so good. Yes, go back, but you.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Know this about me, I don't go. I start like
a book at the end. I start seasons at the end.
I do not have to watch wait for this in succession.
What a great show is that season?
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Coming back? Are we doing that? They filmed it so good?
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Officially they just won everything for the Globes, I think.
But yeah, I'm someone that has no problem jumping in
like mid season on things or random sporadic episodes. I
don't have to go chronologically, which drives a lot of
people nuts. But we are watching the final season of
The Crown and it is the one, obviously where Diana dies,
(16:42):
and I started crying the other. I mean, you know
what's going to happen. And it wasn't her wreck that
made me cry. I think it was something about like
the boys, and like then I was telling my girlfriends
like we were taking a flight home from Montana for
me to drop the baby off before I could come here,
and I was like having such panic about turbulence, and
(17:03):
I looked over at the people we were traveling with,
and I go, God, the Crowns were like, fucked me up.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Wait, Princess Diana.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
I have a couple questions about that. So you have
you watched The Crown Yes, like all the way hees. Oh, okay,
it's so good. You'll hate me for this. I when
I saw that it was going to be an episode
about Dane, I just went straight in. I'd seen no
Prezas episodes. I just went straight. Isn't the actress amazing?
She's amazing.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Oh no, she's incredible. Yeah, is that actor?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
I don't know, some English accent or accent actress. She's
They're all fantastic. It's so well casting, except for can
I just say the season six, which is the final one,
Harry is not Harry? Like that doesn't look like a Harry. Oh,
William is perfect. I think even the King Charles the
Camilla is amazing, but Harry is weird.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
That's not Harry.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
I have a lot of questions about casting, Like casting
agents are the most powerful people in the world. I
think about you change people's lives. Yeah, and what are
the to become a casting agent? And like those initial
c s A, I think like our next has no
idea that that's what you were talking about.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I want to find uh.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Well, this also goes back to that same episode that
I was watching for the Curb one where he's gotta
put this girl in his show because someone died in his.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Pool and so so good. Okay, so what.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Who came Ryan, Mary, Elizabeth something? It's so good that
maybe one of the best seasons of Curb ever. Oh well,
then I picked a good one. Yeah, I just randomly
because I didn't want to go way back. And then
I was like, anyways, but who these casting agents? Does
anyone know a casting agent? I've got questions for them?
How did you become one? Like do you do favors?
(18:42):
Of course you'd have.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
To, sure, right, like that show, yeah, the politics of it,
it's so interesting.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Well, and then people like sleep with casting agents, right,
probably to get good game the casting couch like you.
Oh right, wasn't that a whole thing? Like you got
the job on the casting couch. I don't know the actress.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
This is a whole other world. We don't know about this.
We don't Hey, what you do know? Oh, Mary Sophia.
Mary Sophia is so good. I'm also like.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
This is pretty typical of me, whether it's fashion, whether
it shows like I always late to the party, but
once I arrived at the party, per Aaron's great endorsement
of me, I am a time. You were just going
to show up late. So okay, So into that other
question that I had for you, Why am I yelling?
I gotta also stop yelling. I watch back because I'm
trying to do this is me When the season is over,
(19:40):
I have to stay busy because idle time with me
is not good. So I did a deep dive into
podcast things I like, things I don't like about other podcasts,
things that we could be better on our So I
listened to some of ours back. Holy fuck, I need
to bring it down nine hundred levels. I get so
excited and I talk so fast, and then I'm loud.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
It's just a we can stay right here and still
show some enthusiasm. Okay, that's what I mean.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
We're not Delilah after dark, for God's sakes, it is Albreton, like,
this is a game break and use my game break voice.
But my other questions I had for you before. My
enthusiasm of life just takes over my body. And then
I took mac Rooney.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Who is that Kevin? Is that me?
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Kevin?
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Yeah, Kevin exactly? Macaroon to the mountains for the first time.
So tell me everything. The gear, a lot of baby stuff,
a lot of clothes, the mitten, the shoe child oh god,
a boot fell. Where's his other glove? We're like on
this sky lift. Oh shit, there it is. It was great.
It was super fun. Altitude does get to babies, which
(20:42):
is crazy. He is teating so add that giant whopper
on there. The sleeping was all kind of screwed up.
But besides all that, we had fun taking him in
the gondola.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
So cute.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
We have such a fun video. Our nanny is so great.
But Snoop Dogg has a chill ldren's album and it's
called Doggie Land, and there's this one song called Affirmation,
and it's like I love myself, I love myself, my
parents are wonderful, like's your daily affirmations.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
It is such a fun song.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
We were listening to it on the gondola ride, singing
like we were those people. And then yeah, we sent
you and Steve videos and your adorable monclaur. Yes, my
friends are ridiculously amazing to my baby jacket happens when
you don't have kids. You can buy your friend's kids
whatever you want and they can't say anything about it,
and they don't. You don't, don't die this for them.
It was so nice of you. But he was like
(21:37):
swatting away the little snowflakes. And then took him in
the hot tub, which he loved, and it was fun.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
It was really really cute. But yeah, it was a
good time. But he's almost done, so that's okay. But
it was good, how fun.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Just different experiences that like you're so used to doing
on your own, and then you add a little nugget
into the mix.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
It's so sweet.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
I can't wait to see him on ski. I know
he'll be a way better skier than I ever, you know,
would hope to be. But you know you start him
early and then they have no fear on like the mother.
I told you and Ryan when we were getting together
all our topics for the show last year, I discussed
and I had a ski instructor that said, if you
sing while you ski, that loosens you up. And I
(22:18):
was trying to do West Coast rap and that was helpful.
And then this year obviously is the year of Taylor Swift,
and I was singing the song that I'm obsessed with.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Oh Jesus, why do I always forget about it? Hold on?
Hold on? Because there's so many they're speaking? Is it over?
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Now?
Speaker 2 (22:41):
I love it? It's my favorite song. I don't know
what that was it over? When when she laid down
on your couch? Was it over when he unbutted my blouse?
Come here?
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Anyways, I was seeing that, and then at one point
I was really, so, it's nineteen eighty nine. It's a
it's a deluxe or something, vault version or something.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
It's amazing.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
So anyways, I was seeing that, but I was really
getting into the chorus and really feeling myself, even though
I look so stiff when I ski, and my instructor
was like.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Are you okay, and I was like, oh yeah, I
wasn't in pain. I was just singing.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
First of all, this would be my song if I
was going down the mountains, as evidenced by my skiing
adventure last year with you Are we out of.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
The woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet?
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (23:31):
We out of the woods yet? In the clear? Whatever was?
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Aaron is a fantastic skier. I just got down play. Okay,
here we go. This is my turn. Lock it up.
Aaron's gonna downplay it. It's just what she does. For
those of you that missed the episode last year, or
like made you arrive at episodes later in life or
out of it sporadically or out of order. Aaron and
I went skiing last year. I in my mind thought
I was Peekaboo Street because when I grew up in Seattle,
(23:58):
I was go stating it a lot, go to Whistler
Black Home. I'm like, oh yeah, I'm like such a
good scare. In my mind, I was, at least at
one point I thought I was we get down the
mountain and I'm like, oh my god, I am terrible.
And I will say this. I'm the first person to
say I think I'm a very athletic person. You are
up basketball, I can throw football, I can do a
lot of things. Yeah, and I pride myself on being
(24:20):
an athlete. You talk about being humbled that mountain. Kendra
and I even last year when we were together, when
we went up there, We're like, oh, hell no, Steve's
like double black diamond. This bitch is black. And I
was like, bye, we'll go down the bunny hill. I'm
doing the pizza, not the fries. I mean, never in
my life did I like was so delusional about who
I am on skis. But anyways, Aaron's a fantastic skier.
(24:43):
Her child's going to be a great skier, and you're adorable.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
He is going to be a good one.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Going back to our rundown, I mentioned something real quickly
where I had said email for I love this. All right,
everyone settling because this thing gets me. We go to
the stores nowadays, yes you heard me, stores.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
I buy a lot of online Amazon things like that.
But let's say you actually venture out. You go to
the mall or wherever you buy stuff, and this is
happening all the time, and it's driving me nuts. I
check out, here's the items i'd like to buy. Also,
I like when you get up to the register and
you put everything down, they're like, oh, is there anything
else you want? Tom like, no, that's here, it is.
(25:30):
That's why I'm at the register. I have seventy five
items over here that I didn't bring to the register
that I want. No, So, yes, these are the items
i'd like to buy. They go, all right, Can I
get a phone number? I don't want to give you
my phone number. I just want I just want to
buy my phone number. Just want to buy these Oh, well,
we just want to need it for the profile. I
don't have a profile. Oh, we need to set up
(25:50):
a profile in order for you to be in the system.
I don't want to be in the system. I just
want to buy the items. Okay, Well, can I get
an email? No, I don't want to give you my email.
I just want to buy these items. Okay, Well, then
you're not going to be able to get a receipt.
Why does the print or not? We don't print receipts anymore.
We just that's the only way that I can get
a receipt is if I give you my phone number,
my email, my firstborn, my social security number, ma'am. With
(26:14):
all due respect, I just want to buy these items.
I want you to print me out a little receipt
and I want to be on my merry way.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Well, they get a real attitude.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
And I say this as a former sales associate at
north Side, but like I am telling you, I don't
want to give you my information because then I'm going
to get the emails and I'm going to get the
random sales calls. I don't want it, and they get
a real attitude about it, like, well fine, then you
won't be able to return this. And it's like, why
can I not just buy items and get a receipt
(26:45):
without being in your data? Of this every everybody needs
all my information. No, you're not getting it, and in fact,
if you keep that up, I'm taking these items out
of here. I also feel you judged. It's like I've
come home. I've stated this hotel four times. Have you
been to this hotel before?
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (27:00):
I have four times. I've been here with you, Chris
at like you know, I mean, have you shopped with
us before? I have?
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Okay? Does it look like I should wear the items?
Does it look like I shouldn't be shopping here. What
are you saying?
Speaker 1 (27:15):
I just don't understand, Like, where are the days where
you just can go in and buy something and leave
with the receipt? And now I'm big on receipts. And
that's not just because of Dion Sanders. That's because of
after my breaking the goddamn insurance company asked forevery receipt
I ever had? You should see my filing system. You
have thirty four thousand reasons didn't want a receipt? Twenty
(27:37):
what's the song you and Kendra A twenty four thousand,
three hundred and sixty five?
Speaker 2 (27:42):
What's this?
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Now?
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Come on? It's from like a Broadway play?
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Oh, thirty four three hundred sixty Come on, you're like
little miss Broadway. You should know this. It's like from
a play or something. Anyways, that's my rant about going
into these stores. And I don't want to give you
my information. I just want to I just want to
buy a dress for dinner.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Tonight to night tonight. All right. Next up.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
You we talked about your skiing update, which is fantastic. Last,
but not least, going back to what I just mentioned
about places, you were one thing a sales associate, A
sales sales associated Norsemen's one of my many jobs. So
I text you the other day. Everything goes back to
everything I do in my life. I text Aeron about
I had a little time. I was in Marina del
(28:32):
Rey for something. Oh, I know, because I went to
the it's off season for me already, and I'm my
to do list. I'm checking shit off. I wanted this
olive tree in the back of my yard forever. So
I got the olive tree. But then I needed to
get a pot for it. So I went marched myself
to the cute little green whatever it's called, nursery that's
down the street, got myself a pot, and then I
(28:54):
have like a few like an hour or whatever before
I do something now. So I was like, you know,
I'm gonna take myself to the cheesecake factory. As a
former way the cheesecake factory.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
I thought to myself, what are you doing there?
Speaker 1 (29:04):
So I just marched right in and I sat myself
right at the bar, and I was like, and I
didn't even have a drink, shocker. I just was like,
I'm going to order my favorite And I hadn't been
to a cheesecake factory, babe in I don't know, ten years,
Like I don't know, just not a lot of them
around where I live, and there.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Wasn't this particular case. I was like, I'm gonna go.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
I got the buffalo chicken salad thing and it comes
with the onion rings on the top.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
It was so good.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
I got the lunch sized abortion and I just sat
there and I just had the best time by myself
looking around and thinking to myself, like it's so important
to go back to places you used to work. Because
I sat there and this is like a little moment
where I was like, if I could go back and
tell the Carissa that worked at the cheesecake factory in
Bellevue Square in two thousand and four in Seattle, like
(29:49):
this is how my let twenty years later, what it's
going to look at look like.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
I would have just been. I don't know. I was.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
I think it's really important to go back and appreciate
places that you've worked so you can appreciate how far
you've come. And that path has obviously been littered with
highs and lows over the past twenty years. But I
don't know, I was like nostalgic for me to just
sit there and think about the twenty years since I
had worked there, And also how important is if God forbid,
(30:17):
knock on whatever, if I lose my jobs and I
got to go back and work there, I would just
be happy as a clam. I get a great discount,
a great food, very lovely people that work there.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
So I don't know. It was just like a full circle.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Moment, and I think it's important to do that if
you've ever had a job somewhere and just think about
the little you know. Twenty two year old Aaron Andrews
that worked at do you want to come back to me?
With No?
Speaker 2 (30:41):
They wouldn't accept me. Didn't you want to? Do you
want to come back to me? To Adventure Island in
Tampa the Push.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Gardens water Park and we can get your red speedo
suit and push people across your arms, crush your legs,

Yes, and you can't man. You can stand on your
water tube, ma'am.

on to the handrails and have a great ride. Thank

around and go down the Tampa Typhoon. After I cross
my arms and cross my legs, you go over the
Gulf stream, plug your nose because that water will shoot

You're adorable. Can I offer you guys a cheesecake? My
(32:04):

we also have oreole big favorite amongst everyone here visiting
cheesecake factories. This is your first time at cheesecake factory.
It's a very large menu, so I'll give you guys
some time while you're getting some time to look over

Everyone loves the brown bread. You want brown and white.

those bananas for your baby.

I also like Glinda's fudge cake there.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
It was so cool. So you were the one interesting.
But yes, I encourage anyone to go back to one
of their first jobs and just look around and think
