Speaker 1 (00:00):
But then I got self conscious of the couple next
to us, thinks we're lying that it's not really our
birthday and it's not really our anniversary.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
We're just looking for free shit.

Speaker 1 (00:06):
So then they send us glasses of wine for our anniversary,
and then I felt bad. I was like, well, I
don't really know if it's our anniversary. It like turned
into this whole thing, and Steve goes, just shut up,
what does it matter?

Speaker 3 (00:17):
Calm Down with Erin and Carissa is a production of
iHeartRadio Happy Solar Eclipse Day.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Of the HOD that's a total eclipse.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yep, you know.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
I didn't have the glasses. I didn't have the glasses,
so I didn't get to look up. I didn't plan ahead,
I didn't order the glasses. But I was in the car. Hi, everybody,
welcome to the Calm Down Podcast.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
I hae the car.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
I tried to peer through the window and I thought, well,
the windows tinted, so maybe I can kind of look
at it. Then I didn't want to look up because
it was driving, and I was like, then am I
a bad person? Because this only happens never in my lifetime?
So we'll get to that before we do. We have
a big show for you today, and I don't know
if Aaron will be with us by the time the
show's over because she looked up at the eclipse without

(01:06):
glasses on.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
So one second on that. We have a lot to discuss.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Including I have a lot of feelings about all of
my friends having kids.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
So I asked her if she was pregnant, but she
said no. So there's that.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Definitely not pregnant. We we'll get to that. Also, I
just got back.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
If you cannot tell from my face, Red Rover, Red Rovers,
send my face right over. I just got back from Florida.
Was horrible and didn't wear sunscreen. I am the absolute worst.
I'm mad at myself.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
So there's that.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Also went to the Women's Amateur tournament at Augusta, which
was awesome and met some incredible women.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
So I'm excited to talk about that, you doll.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
I looked up at the sun today. I went to
go get my face shot up because I have a
monster solar clips on the left side of my face
and it is not eclipsing, and the only way I
could get rid of it, I'm going to get you
know what I'm going to do right now before I
talk about my eye injury. I'm going to give a
shout out to Skin Medics down the street from me.
They are always there, like thank you for being a friend,

(02:14):
travel around the road and back back again. I call them.
I'm like, listen, I got a situation come in in
an hour. Thank you so much.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Well, you know what, everybody knows your name. You don't
even need to check in. You just go room two,
room too, Aaron. We got, oh, hey, erin, how are you?
How do you think I am?

Speaker 3 (02:32):
My face led before.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
I did the same spot over and it's.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
All it's hormonal. It's down in my chin. And then
I get them above my lip. I sound they're pretty attractive.
So if you listen to our pregame, we talked about
pickup lines. I don't get any. I wonder why, because
I'm trying to.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
She's picking them by thems. It no, just stop picking.
I'm telling you the best thing pick for that.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
Okay, time the time, you know. So I walked out
of skin Medics and I saw everybody standing there looking
up and I had, you know, some gooders on and
I thought that that would do me right. And I
went and I looked up and my left eye really hurt,
and I was thinking to myself, oh my god, like
here I did. I'm I'm the one in a million,
and that I was driving home and I was like,

(03:15):
you know, like it's like the line from Christmas Vacation
or it's getting read, isn't well, you keep touching it.
So I was like hurting and there was pressure in it,
and I kept CHRISA. This went even so far for
me to think of a scenario, scenario that the left
eye is what's the word sounds like compromise, compromise, Okay,

(03:40):
we're back. I was gonna have to like maybe lie
to Fox and be like, well yeah, and have to
see everything from this angle. I was like thinking about that.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Okay, we walk about it ready.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
The Calm Down Podcast, Aaron's a hypochondriac, but also doesn't
follow the only instructions that everyone told her to do
when the eclipse happened is do not look up at
the sun with your regular glasses or any non approved
solar eclipse glasses, which is why I didn't. Did these
people order them ahead of time? Everyone was very prepared

(04:10):
for this, and I should have been prepared, but I'm not.
And this is what happened, so I'm miss.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
Savannah got on the Today Show said you could just
go to the grocery store and get them, but I didn't.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
I don't go to the grocery store. I mean, that's
maybe that's the problem. So how you're feeling better now
though you're okay, the pressure's gone, the pressure's gone, Okay, Well,
I feel a lot of pressure that I didn't participate
in the once in a lifetime activity and just tried
to look through the tint that I have on my windows.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
I don't know, but it was cool.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
It also depends on where you live, like we live
in California, so it probably wasn't as cool as like Texas.
For example, I saw Tony Gonzalez and Sweet Toby had
posted and like they had like a full like it
turned dark.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
They didn't an event.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
I'm surprised he wasn't on the moon. Jeff, this guy
they are, they are always on it. I'm always dilate
to everything you are.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
And a dollar short, you're hemorrhaging.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
We get a dollar short because I'm paying someone's bill,
you know what I mean. We talked about on the
pre game. We hate cheap people.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
You have those cheap friends that never offer to put
their credit card down well invite.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
I also hate people that charge us in a year late.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Any speaking of dinner, Okay, so you're gonna appreciate this story.
So for our wonderful listeners, I obviously try to spend
as much time at the ranch as I can during
the off season because all my sweet little animals and
I just feel like a guilty mother. So I need
to be there as much as I can, and I
want to be there as much as I can.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
But ye, when you're there, you know, when you're there,
you're like you're in it.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
Like it's rustic, rustic Bill, Like there's no like we're
going out to dinner, like this closest town is thirty
minutes away, Like it's Steve making dinner every night, and
you really got like your partner.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
AnyWho.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
So we get back and I have to then leave
the next day. So I'm like, let's go on a date.
Let's go on a proper date. I'm gonna get dressed up.
I'm gonna remind you why it is that you want
to be with me. I'm adorable, I'm a great time.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Let me be cued. Okay, let me put on some
makeup for once and go out.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
So we go to this nice steakhouse and we're sitting
there and like, I'm so excited. You would have thought
I've never heard you go been to steak thirty eight.
It's the thirty eight, eighty three, oh one, whatever that
one here? Yet No, we went together for the Fox event,
not here.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Were you not there?

Speaker 3 (06:26):
No I didn't get invited.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
Oh you were out of town. Oh no, it wasn't
for a pregame. It wasn't for yeah. Yeah, Oh I
didn't get invited to the one that you went to
that was also really gat Yeah, okay, yeah, okay, here
we go. So go to the steakhouse and I'm jacked.
I got them men and you know, I normally don't
really care about food. I'm like, I'm not really into that,
more into the cocktails. No, No, Mama was ready after

(06:49):
eating freakin' biscuits and like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches,
I was like, I am getting the oysters. The sweet
waitress came over and I was like, I'm getting everything
on the appetizer list.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
I'm getting all the things.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
So then as we do We've talked about this before
you start looking around.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
You're like, okay, let me survey the room.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
We've got Heather du Brow over here, real housewife with
the doctor, so that they're oh yeah, and like she's
a tiny little thing. Then I was gonna go up
and I was like, oh, I love you and you're great.
But like then I was like, Viki it off, not
gonna yeah exactly, Aaron, Any Okay, we go.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
This is everyone stay with us again.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
You know the path we travel, the stories are all
over all aboard Chew Chew. Next up crazy Town. We
go to Orange County and with woofs, we're gonna have
We're gonna whoop it up in Orange County and.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
We're at Bernie's and we go we go.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
To a restaurant and I'm like, the only person that
I want to see in Orange County is Vicky Gumbolson
O G O C. Like whatever, of course we're not
gonna see Vicky Gumboleson. Like this is just random. Not
even five minutes after I say that, Vicky Gumboleson comes
walking through the door, You would have thought that we
would be I'd come back from the gray and walked

(08:01):
through the restaurant.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
I got up and I was like, I will always
love you.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
So anyways, getting back to the steakhouse with Steve, I'm
sitting there and there's okay.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
I'm looking around. Okay, what do we got going on here?
Let's survey the situation.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
We're at the high top, so my angle's really good.
Cutie couple next to us. I hear them say something
about anniversary, and then I looked at Steve and I
was like, do we have an anniversary? And He's like, yeah,
I think it's actually like right around now. So then
we started scrolling back and looking at Montana pictures and
like the timeline of after that, like a few years
ago when we got together. So we're like, oh my god,

(08:36):
our anniversary is tomorrow from this one picture. So I
was like, this is great, we'll celebrate our anniversary tonight. Well,
at this point, I had already told the waitress that
it was Steve's birthday the week before that, So stay
with me. I'm bringing I'm gonna land this plane not
with an emergency landing. But so the QUT couple next
to us says it's their anniversary and I was like, well, Steve,

(08:56):
it's our anniversary. I was like, you guys, happy anniversary.
It's our annivers So now I'm like, oh my god,
it's all right. They have seven years. We are a
made up date for chairs of dating. Okay, well the
meal so then I send them over a glass of
champagne each. They think you're so sweet. Okay, whatever, No,
what's not sweet? So then the meal ends, they bring

(09:17):
out a happy birthday cake for Steve, and now I'm
looking and I'm like, these people next to us think
I'm a liar. It's our anniversary that no, we're getting
free birthday cake. They probably think we're just making up
any event.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
Anniversar Tree is on Jared's birthday too.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Well, so I obviously like that doesn't happen very often.
But then I got self conscious that the couple next
to us thinks we're lying that it's not really our
birthday and it's not really our anniversary.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
We're just looking for free shit.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
So then they send us glasses of wine for our anniversary,
and then I felt bad. I was like, well, I
don't really know if it's our anniversary, like turned into
this whole thing, and Steve goes, just shut up, What
does it matter. We can have a birthday cake. And
we can have an anniversary. And I was like, I know,
I felt bad and I didn't want the restaurant to
think we were taking advantage of the events and the
couple next to so then he looks at me, He's like,

(10:02):
this is why we don't go out.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
I was like, fu, And.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
There has to be those people by the way that
do that. I mean, you worked in a restaurant, don't
you think there's people that just come in and lie
about what are Since they're celebrating.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
They want a free piece of cheesecake. And then we
all got it.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
And then as a waitress, I'm scrambling looking for the
lighter because she supposed bringing a lighter to work. It's like,
oh God, Table fourteen has a birthday? Are we asking
them for their ID? Like?

Speaker 2 (10:24):
Is it really your birthday?

Speaker 1 (10:26):
Well? I felt like that person, but it really was
Steve's birthday and we had just found out that it
was our anniversary.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
We hadn't really find it before.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
Phenomenal and it happens it wasn't a lie.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
No, it was a lie.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
I just started laughing though, thinking to myself at the
table next was like, Oh, what what other event are
you guys?

Speaker 2 (10:40):
Looking to celebrate here tonight get some free shit.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
So on the pregame, we were talking about an event
that is coming up soon and it is mac Roger
Stole's first birthday, pressure Agel, and that paved the way
for you to say, I've got some real thought about
my friends having kids. The floor is yours?

Speaker 1 (11:04):
Okay, Well, well the dance floor will be cleared for
this conversation. But before we get to that, since I've
just monopolized the first ten minutes of this with my
story about I don't want to feel like I'm taking
advantage of holidays and free cakes. I was also discussing
with you that when are we doing Max's birthday? Are
we doing it on the birthday? Are we doing the day?

Speaker 3 (11:24):
We got to figure it out because I want you
guys in town. I want some other people in town.
So we got to figure that out. It's a lot
of dates we need to talk about. So you let
me know. Are you planning time for me?

Speaker 1 (11:35):
Now?

Speaker 2 (11:36):
Are you scrolling through Pinterest and you like look at
ideas like how does this happen?

Speaker 3 (11:41):
I guess I should.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
Daisy has an idea? A lot invited because that's a
lot of pressure. I feel like it is.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
I think it's a lot of pressure. I was actually
thinking of the Calm Down podcast yesterday because I only
know the age group of like nine months right now
of what's appropriate to give a kid. I don't really
I struggle with that whole thing. We went to a
birthday yesterday for two six year olds. A it was
a twins birthday, and I was literally stressing out with

(12:14):
the fact, Oh my god, I didn't think I was
going to be in town. First of all, I am
in town, so now I've got a rush and go
get these kids presents. So I'm texting my girlfriends that
have six year olds and she's like, oh, this, this
and this, and I said, Jesus, Jackie didn't even miss
a beat with that one. I mean, granted she's got
three kids, but I find buying for children yeah, so stressful.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
Say that. Yeah, well, because I can't.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
Even imagine doing a birthday party.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
I feel like that with my nieces and nephews. I'm like,
there's no way that they're going to like this stuff.
And then I just give them money and it's like
doesn't feel personal at all. Yeah, but like that's not personal.
I like to an eight year old like here's some money.
It's like, go buy a present, you lazy biatch.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
Yeah, no, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
But and then like the I don't know, just birthday
parties in general, and we got into it a little bit,
not into it.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
We talked about it on the pregame.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
These people that spend so much money on their children's
birthday parties.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Like the kids not what you know. We had for
our birthday party.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
We had my mother making us a homemade cake, a
few balloons, and like kids in the backyard with water
balloons and it may be a pinata.

Speaker 3 (13:16):
Best birthday party as a kid.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
Sorry, mom, I don't remember anything that was like so memorable.
I mean I think like a straw I was really
into theme. So it was like I had my little
pony birthday theme. I had a strawberry shortcake theme. Like
I was just excited to like have a theme of
a birthday party. But these kids now, it's like they
want to go they want to go to Hawaii for
their first birthday.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
Like what are we doing? These are children?

Speaker 1 (13:43):
Like if you start them off that young with like
the bars up here, like no, this is probably why
I'm not having kids.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
Okay, So my thing about.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
Okay, so girl, So everybody, every friend of mine, not
every friend, all of my good friends have children. Now
that's normal. Like I'm going to be four, We're going
to be with the same birthday. But like I'm going
to be forty two in a couple of weeks, and
that's normal. This is a conscious decision that I have

(14:24):
made to not have children, even though you and everyone
else in my life is like, don't say you're not
going to do it because you know, don't you agree?
I have made a conscious choice. Now there can be
something that could change. I also say that like I'm
never going to get married again. I do feel like
I'm never going to get married again, but I never
want to say never in life to anything. Okay, fine,

(14:46):
but I'm really happy with my choice. This isn't me
trying to convince myself, but like all these different situations
in my life just remind me. I'm like, I love
Steve so much that I want to give all the
time that I have left in my life life to
Steve and not even have to split that up. Like
you can attest like the time that you spend with
Jared isn't as much now because you have a child

(15:07):
and you need to allocate time to different things and whatever. Right,
And so I feel like I met Steve so late
in life, and like, I just don't want to split
my love up. I just want to give it to
him and like be happy and whatever. Okay, but what
I'm going to get here's the butt. I am going
to be boxed out of vacations. No vacant I am,

(15:28):
because think about it. We have friends. They all go
on vacation because they have kids, and they do they
build their vacations around the kids' spring breaks.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
I'm going to always need you the stafford. Yeah, you're
out of that loop. We're both out of that loop.
We're never going to be invited again. I mean, Kelly,
if you're late. I saw her this weekend. She was
down at Martha's and I was jumping for joy because
I was like, oh my god, I can just see you.
But half of it's my fault too. But yeah, no,
we're we're boxed out there. You we're boxed out of

(15:57):
them for sure. Thought but it's going to happen of mine?
Are you not coming on?

Speaker 2 (16:02):
Mac is still a baby? Like they're going.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
But you're going to have to plan vacations around his snoul,
his soul, and so it's going to be your vacations
are my vacations. By the way, Missy, I'm just thinking
to myself, they're you're acting crazy. Nope, Okay, Well I
would love to hear anyone listening that doesn't have children
and that there was a shift in their life when

(16:26):
all their friends around them had kids and then they
had to I have to go start being friends with
younger people. That's just Kristin Cavaleri and her boyfriend and
I already hanging out. Okay, boys and I are going
to which by the way, I don't Christen. I know
I met you like whatever through like business in life before,
but like, good for you. Who gives a shit how
old your boyfriend is or isn't you're happy? I hate

(16:48):
when everyone wants to have an opinion on someone's significant other.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
In less they're harmful and losers than you should get
rid of them. AnyWho.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
But yeah, that's the feelings that I was having as
I was like, you know, because a lot of my.

Speaker 3 (17:01):
Schedule, a lot of my schedule is open for my schedule,
So I think you're crazy. I appreciate the fear, well, that's.

Speaker 1 (17:12):
A nice way to say that. Thank you for listening,
Thank you for saying that. That's very sweet.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
You appreciate the fear, and tell me to knock it off.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
Okay, knock it off, because here's the thing. We've had
this conversation a lot. I mean, I get that we
see it now with certain friends are always with other friends,
but they always come back to the real ones. You know,
I'm not interested. I'm too old in my life. Yeah,
I'll be friends with whoever. But like, I need my people.
I'm good.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
I don't need I know, and that's my thing.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
Like, I just don't want my people to like all leave,
because then it's just Steve and I looking at each
other like this there no no, oh yeah they're done, but.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
They're gone.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
Kelly, Kelly, where are you not taking a shower? All?

Speaker 3 (17:56):
No, just kidding. We love you, guys. We miss you.
Call it. I'll send you my number if you need it. No,
I'm kidding.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
Okay. Wait.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
So speaking of that friendship, though, think that friendships are
important and you do have to put in work for them.
And that's why I am very grateful that like, thank God,
our job like allows us to see each other different things,
and we have a vacation with which, by the way,
like I just need to say this, Fox, I love
you like and Amazon, I love you. But like companies,
and there has been a lot of layoffs in our

(18:25):
respective industry recently, and I was really really sad. And
I was actually with some people that work at that
same network over weekend because I was with them, and
I just I'm it is not ever lost on me
how fragile this industry is, or any industry that you

(18:47):
work in where there can be layoffs and cut offs,
like I heard like home depots even laying a bunch
of people off because they hired all these people because
during COVID everyone was working on projects and now you know,
life is resumed, and I just I job secure is
such a thing that I never ever take for granted.
So and you don't realize how much you know until
it affects your own life. So I just anyways, I

(19:09):
wanted to just give a shout out to like employers.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
That because they that's also tough to do.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
Like having worked in HR, I saw people have to
go into my boss's office and they got fired and
walking out and like one minute, their life is here
and the next minute it's not. And this is probably
why we continue to have one hundred jobs, just so
we always stamployed. But anyways, I spend all of this
money on laser treatments and skincare and anti aging. I

(19:34):
in the asshole that was in Florida for less than
seventy two hours, didn't.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
Put any sunscreen on my face. And I was sitting
outside and.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
I was like, oh, I just want a little color
because like can't tone it tan it like we all
look better with like a little sun.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
Nope. I fried my entire chest. Look at that. Look
at that the chest that I just spent money to
laser the sunspots off of. I have horrible burns all.

Speaker 3 (19:59):
Of just I didn't take the time to put anything
on time.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
Look at this, I'm peeling on my forehead. And I'm
really disappointed in myself because I'm like CHRISA, we're not
at the age where we could do this. We know
how important sunscreen is, and I just was like, oh,
I just want like a little color, and then fell
asleep and fried my body so much, and I was
just mad at myself because I know better.

Speaker 3 (20:19):
And your now Lady's gonna have a time with you,
because apparently she tries to fix everything right, so she's
gonna try to get in there and really get after that.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
Well, I'll tell you when I finally got my boatox
point me yesterday and she went to do the the
antiseptics thing to clean the area. I was like, and
it was my point is I'm gonna if you I'm
going to be borrowing your sunscreen and lathering all over
my body and laying under an umbrella because I'm on
sun probation.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
Because that's ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
Well, it just thinks about like we do so much
work to like try to like you know, reverse the damage. Yeah, stupid.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
I was mad at myself for doing that. But anyway,
Palm Beach I talked about it a little bit on
the pregame.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
I went for my first time.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
I mean, and I've been watching that show Palm Royal
where Kristin Wood looks incredible in this thing y'all y'all
Kelly voice, I Paul Beach is uh hoot. These characters
down there, they live like this imaginary Disneyland adult life,
And it was my first time being there. You and
I need to go and I'm all about dressing up
and like the over the top outfits and colorful and

(21:22):
I just had a great time.

Speaker 3 (21:24):
I was there a couple. I was there a couple.
I was there a month ago with my parents. I
stayed at the Boca Raton Hotel. It was another level.
It was like Great Gatsby. It was so fire. I
love that place. My dad looks around and goes, I
think you would live here, and I was like, yeah,
it's great. It was in Boca Awesome.

Speaker 1 (21:45):
I want to go there because we stayed at the Breakers,
just like I wanted, like.

Speaker 3 (21:50):
Old school, like break the Bank.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
And then I was thinking about the uh a girlfriend
of mine she got married there and I couldn't go
to her wedding. But I was thinking about, like just
the flower arrangements, how much, how expensive that place was.
But anyways, I love that bar that they have there
with the green tile, the seafood bar. It's amazing with
the fish swimming in the good the thing. But let

(22:15):
me tell you, there are some situations that go down
in Paul Beach and late night.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
It gets so entro tate me.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
I just sat back and I watch and the Clientele
ality show. Oh my God, why do you not have
a reality show? Probably because they want to have more
discretion or something.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
I don't know. It's so good you watching me into
housewives stuff right now.

Speaker 3 (22:39):
No I'm not either. I need to. Actually, this is
a great segue into our headlines. I need to finish
the Beckham docu series. And I bring this up because
we have a headline David Beckham talking about his wife Victoria.
You actually sent me this Instagram post. You and I
have been on a real rant about being a strong woman,
working hard, working your ass off. And he was so

(23:02):
lovely talking about his wife. I don't know who he
was talking to, but he was saying, yes, she's beautiful,
Yes she was sexy. Yes I fancied her, But in
all honesty, I like a strong woman and I like
the facts she works hard. And I was like, thank you,
David Beckham.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
M hmm, yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:18):
Becaun't see you too.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
Anyone that hasn't watched that their documentary, it's fantastic for
a lot of different reasons, you realize. I mean they
were so famous, so famous, I mean they still are famous,
but like soccer, and like European soccer, and then even
the how much hate he got when he came over
here and then like selling out to MLS and all
the different people's thoughts that they had on that. But

(23:40):
they were and continue to be so in love and adorable.
But I just when I read that, I was, I
don't know. I just appreciate that, yes, you can check
those boxes if you want to be attracted to someone
and all these other things. But working hard and then
being confident. I thought that that was really inspiring to be.

(24:01):
And he's hot. He had a lot of different hot phases,
like do I like shaved head beck.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
I'm better than long hair Beckham like he was.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
Yeah, I will say this about him too. They have
gone to the King's Game quite a bit. And two
things about him. He is always so nice. Their kids
are so polite. They're always in this little bar area
and they're just always like, hi, how are I Like,
just a very very nice family. And I really really
appreciate that.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
I got to tell you there would be no yes,
I'm not having children, maybe, but I don't think there
would be a greater compliment than to have someone come
up and.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
Say your children are so well mannered.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
I agree, Like if you can give I mean, MAC
will be because you will ensure that he is between
you and Jared. There is no other option than for
him to be, you know, well mannered. But like even
like for those like Stafford girls, when they're just like
yes ma'am, yes, Miss Aaron, like the teaching your kids
manners and so you can set them up for success
when they go out into the world and they're not

(25:04):
assholes and just being polite and being kind. I was
with a bunch of women this weekend shout out to
Mercedes because yes, Mercedes is a wonderful company for a
lot of different reasons. But I've been lucky enough to
be an ambassador for theirs for about like seven years,
and they've given me the greatest moment that I've ever
had in my life with my father, to go to
a master's with him and have like this incredible experience

(25:26):
and like you just never I never take that for granted.
But also they do great women empowerment thing and it
was the weekend of Women. It really felt like between
you know, the Women's Final Four and everything that happened
with Caitlin Clark and Don Staley and all of the
different storylines around women.

Speaker 2 (25:42):
I know you're wearing the power of sheet sweatshet right now.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
But anyways, I got to get together with a bunch
of women this weekend, and let's face it, women are
not always like supportive, and sometimes they can be caddie.
I left there being so appreciative that there was a
room fall of about forty women and these are CEOs
of Fortune five hundred companies and cmos and CFOs and

(26:05):
all of these really accomplished women that all got together
with Mercedes invite and invites and we had the best time.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
And I was just reminded.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
How wonderful it is to like support other women and
also just get out of your comfort zone because like
sometimes when you go into those situations, I knew no one,
Like I didn't know one of these women prior to
getting there. And I left and like have a bunch
of new, you know, acquaintances that like when life will
take you out and hopefully meet it back up again.
But I just felt very inspired by that, and I

(26:35):
wanted to just give a shout out to Mercedes for
like bringing women together for that, because I felt like
all weekend, whether it was around the NCAA tournament or
just in general, like women like together.

Speaker 3 (26:45):
You can do a lot of things. All right, let's
hit another headline. My ex husband is demanding I change
my name back to my maiden name after twelve years
because of his twenty four year old fiance is jealous.

(27:07):
I still use it. I think you should change it too.
It's been twelve years. I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
I don't understand why you want to hang on Ryandy guy.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
Ryan is joining us now.

Speaker 1 (27:20):
We love segments that also involve a guy's perspective. And
for those of you not familiar with who Ryan is
and those of you Ryan, Ryan's our wonderful producer.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
And Ryan's reactions.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
It's been a minute, so right, Aaron and I feel
the same way on this, Like you want to leave
your husband or you guys get a divorce, but you
want to hold on to his name.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
What are your thoughts?

Speaker 4 (27:43):
Okay, So, the one thing I will say about this
having my wife and I have now been married for
three years, and she was always going to take my name,
so there was no question about that. But it did
take her a while to go through the whole process
of the new passport, the new security credit.

Speaker 3 (28:01):
It's been twelve years.

Speaker 5 (28:03):
I get it, I.

Speaker 4 (28:03):
Get it, but I understand why you might not want
to go through that hassle.

Speaker 5 (28:09):
So I will side with that bullshit.

Speaker 4 (28:13):
But what I will say is this, the husband clearly
didn't care until now there's another woman involved, because if
it's been twelve years, and obviously I mean if this fiance.

Speaker 5 (28:24):
Is twenty four, yeah, you know this must.

Speaker 4 (28:26):
Be a recent thing that they've taken on. So clearly
there are some other things behind the scenes that the
ex husband's being tasked with. So I can see you
why why there may be a bit of a battle
here between the two women involved.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
I do think it's interesting there are only other caveat
that because I still think you just it's not I
thought it was a pain in the ass to get
my renew my license erin goes go online.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
It takes five seconds. Guess who's got a new license me?

Speaker 1 (28:54):
Like, you think these things are going to be cumbersome,
and they could be easier than not. I even make
married twice. I never changed my last name ever, so
I won't try to pretend like I know the arduous
said process that it is. But if you have kids,
I get there's also that thing, like you, it's easier
to have the same last name, But like you're divorced.

Speaker 3 (29:14):
Like you're divorced. I mean, she obviously doesn't want to
change it now because there's a twenty four year old
fiance in the wings. But girl, come on, I mean no,
I would really be more concerned about changing the password
to the bank account than the last name.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
You know in your delta flight because he'll cancel flights.
Do you know what I mean I do?

Speaker 3 (29:35):
I'm crazy.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
Yikes. Okay, next sheets.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
We've talked about this before cet Go had. Okay, if
you don't wash your new bed sheets, you should. Here's
a horrifying reason. Okay, betting is new factories all this
kind of thing. Banished bedbugs is one of the reasons
why you should wash your sheets. Storage facilities and stores
can also be infested with insects like beetles, and bedbugs
also strip unhealthy chemical chemicals used in dyeing in.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
The process of fabric.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
Okay, so various reasons to wash your sheets beforehand.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
I understand that.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
But when we saw the headline, admittingly, I said, I
don't wash my new clothes when I get them. I
don't wash my jeans, I don't wash my shirts when
either and I just ripped the tag off and put
them on.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
Couldn't you say the same thing.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
The dyes, the factories, the like sitting on a shelf
like and clothes are on your body sheets.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
Ryan Ryan, Ryan's head. Ryan's reaction, Why do you wait?

Speaker 1 (30:30):
Why do you think that not washing your sheets is
worse than not washing your clothes?

Speaker 4 (30:34):
So I guess I'm giving clothing companies a little bit
more of a pass that I'm assuming.

Speaker 5 (30:42):
Right, Well, yeah, maybe I shouldn't be.

Speaker 4 (30:44):
But in my head when we first sort of read
this and talked about it, if if it's out on
a hangar, or it's been folded and it's.

Speaker 5 (30:51):
Put out on display, it feels even worse.

Speaker 3 (30:54):
Other people have tried it on or touched it, or.

Speaker 5 (31:00):
You bring it out to zoo. Perhaps I should.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
Change my bathing suits. Those liners do not protect no one.

Speaker 4 (31:07):
That one, you're entering a different and bathing suits underwear
that one I totally understand.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
Disgusting underwear if you don't wash your underwear before you
put it on, and you think about all the people
that have touched it and picked it up looking for
the size. Dinge mcdinge, mcdinge, Sure, Yeah, I guess. Although
I sleep naked. I sleep naked. So if you're if
that point is I should be washing my sheets.

Speaker 5 (31:29):
You should definitely.

Speaker 3 (31:32):
Definitely, I know beetles and bed bugs are in there.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (31:35):
Yeah, the bed sheets was a no brainer. Anytime you're
buying new bed sheets, it felt like those things.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
No, I know, I know better, I think I do,
I do, I do, but in a pinch, and it's like, oh,
you just throw them on. I did that on guest rooms.
I guess I'm thinking more guest rooms. If you're going
to stay in a guest bedroom of mine, your sheets
haven't been washed, but they're brand new, they just haven't
been washed.

Speaker 5 (31:53):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (31:54):
I guess it just makes me think of hotels and
how nasty they really are. I know why. Yes, I
am a diva about where I stay, but this is why. Listen,
I've spent my time twenty freaking years and some nasty
ass hotels, And when you put your head down at night,
I realize I've hijacked this conversation and it's going somewhere else.
I don't want to think about who's been in them

(32:15):
before and what bugs are creepy crawling around.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
You know.

Speaker 3 (32:18):
I got to worry about the like, okay.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
But I'm going to tell you something.

Speaker 3 (32:22):
Kickoff.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
When we were staying in a nice hotel and Dominique,
Sweet Dominique, who travels with me for Thursday night football,
she found I under the bed that was a sex toy.
That was a sex toy under the bed. No, I'm
not going to out them. Whoa a sex toy under

(32:44):
the Bedique?

Speaker 4 (32:46):
A lot of hotels nowadays they put up the barriers
underneath the bed so things kick no underneath there?

Speaker 1 (32:52):
So well, no, it wasn't like it wasn't like there
wasn't like a you could look all the way under,
but like it was far enough where it's like it's there,
not the platform bed that I know what you're.

Speaker 5 (33:00):
Talking to you do you ever?

Speaker 4 (33:02):
So Dominique found it. Do you do the scan of
the room when you check in, because I feel like
that's goin.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
I didn't.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
I didn't think I needed to, but I went in
your room. No, that was in Dominique's room.

Speaker 5 (33:12):
Oh okay, oh gotcha thought.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
And then she asked to be moved. And then she
asked to be moved room. She was like, can I
move rooms? Like, oh, we're at full capacity and I'm like,
oh my god, I would like be gagging laying in
that bed thinking about who the guest was the time
before and what my greatest Yeah, never mind.

Speaker 3 (33:29):
I go to hotels and you know how we've all
like we go to a Dallas game and we all
are always at the same hotel. I'm like, we've all
slept in the same bed at some point together, you
know what I mean. Like, I've definitely had a room
that my crew members at. You know what I'm saying.
Maybe this just got.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
Creepy, but no, No, when we went on the Fox Seminar.
When we went on the Fox Seminar, my keys got
mixed up with a former colleague of ours. I went
to go in my room. He was already in my bed. Yeah,
I know, Clay Travis. I'll say it, Clay Travis. I
was like, he's like he was like this. He was
like ah, and I was like ah, And I was like,

(34:04):
what are you doing here? And he's like this is
my room. I go, no, this is my room.

Speaker 3 (34:09):
Up play Yeah, So.

Speaker 5 (34:15):
What wasn't there stuff in the room? Like how did so?

Speaker 3 (34:19):
I have a lot of fun and the Fox out,
I don't. I don't really throw stones and Clay we
have some.

Speaker 5 (34:26):
Sh At some point one seminar.

Speaker 1 (34:30):
I'm like, no, well, I hadn't even gotten to that point.
So I go back the room. So when you check in,
they're like, oh, we'll bring your stuff to your room
because we're.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
Being you have to go straight to whatever. So I
have the room keys.

Speaker 1 (34:42):
So by the time end of the night, yeah, I've
had a few cocktails, but like my key works like.

Speaker 6 (34:46):
He was in her nightgown, you know, yeah, and so
he was already in the room. So obviously like my
stuff never made it to that room, but my keys
were still the keys that he had.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
Like it got mixed up.

Speaker 1 (34:58):
Anyways, Clay Travis was in the bed and I was like, well,
this is weird.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
I gotta go. That's great, Hawks, That's right.

Speaker 3 (35:07):
Is there anything on your mind that you want to
want to give us a reaction on from anything that
we've talked about today.

Speaker 4 (35:14):
You know, I will go back now that you say
that too. Carissa's fear of being left out due to kids. Now, Aaron,
I hate totally see and understand that you would be
the very inclusive friend.

Speaker 5 (35:27):
I mean, case in points she already.

Speaker 3 (35:28):
I don't want to be friends with anyone else.

Speaker 4 (35:30):
Already, you already brought her to the vacation in Montana.
But I will say to someone who my wife and
I do not have kids at this point, and as
people around us are starting to have more kids, it
is a very real thing. Not in a mean spirited way,
but the friends that you're with definitely start to do
the kids playdates, and you just slowly start to see

(35:52):
yourself not as involved in the activities that are going on.

Speaker 5 (35:57):
And like I said, it's not a like in an
thing like I don't think they're.

Speaker 2 (36:01):
Nose, I'm malicious.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
It's just, yeah, you're not going to get invited because
you don't have a kid. And they're not like, oh,
we don't want to invite Stephen Chris. It's just like me,
it won't make sense because they don't have a kid
and they don't want to go to bush Garden.

Speaker 5 (36:12):
That's good.

Speaker 3 (36:13):
Everybody invited to my Easter, you were invited, you couldn't come.
Everybody invited to my Easter didn't have a kid. We're
the only ones that had a kid because we didn't
want any kids there. We just wanted Mac. That was it.
When Mac went to bed, we just started drinking.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
Well here's the other thing you are, And Ryan's right,
you will always be aware of that because you're a
wonderful person. But these other so called friends of mine
are because not twenty.

Speaker 3 (36:37):
Five and I had a kid, so I know what
it's like to be left out. We were the last
one on the hockey team that didn't have a kid.
But I'll say this, Jackie Quick always had everybody at
our house even if they didn't have a kid. We
never did, and it was like we just raised everybody
else's kids. But we're still the fun couple. Now I
feel bad because I'm like, God, I didn't really.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
Like what what is the for that time that we
didn't have a Oh yeah, well I think about this.
This is the only thing that I think about where
it's like if you're going on a vacation with all
your friends and their kids, like if I want to
party and have a good time, like shit, I gotta
like still take care of these kids.

Speaker 2 (37:15):
Oh that's not gonna be good.

Speaker 1 (37:16):
Like that's probably another reason why shouldn't like, oh, your
kids need a battle. But I'm Susannah in Wes help.

Speaker 3 (37:24):
It's just how it is. So what did we do
we went to Montana without our kid. We had a time.
We didn't want you to leave.

Speaker 1 (37:32):
We did have a time, right your dream.

Speaker 2 (37:39):
Well, that's perfect.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
I don't want me to have a kid.

Speaker 2 (37:43):
Howie, he's still not over it.

Speaker 3 (37:46):
It's not that he's not over it, he's just really
like today we did swim lessons. How he loves I
was about to say pool, because you can't say pool
in front of him. He was sad. Mac went in there.
Mac is teething really really bad right now. So we've
been giving him like a cold banana. That's how he's
treat like how he's sitting there. I feel like his
whole life is like falling apart.

Speaker 1 (38:05):
Oh, how we get so much love? Yeah, say text
your love here in them. Oh, speaking of love, last thing,
I'll say the let go.

Speaker 3 (38:13):
Love is blind.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
Love is not blind, especially for you, forty one year old, divorce,
three kids from our pregame. You go out there, girl,
and you go do your damn thing. But I got
to give a shout out to Sweet Tim and Sweet
Evan and the wonderful ladies that I met this weekend
that listen to the podcast. Sweet Tim, who works at
the Hospitality Suite that I see every year when I
go to the Masters.

Speaker 2 (38:35):
He goes, I just love your podcast.

Speaker 1 (38:36):
And sweet Evan, who's a college kid who I think
to myself, Oh my god, he why would you listen
to this? You listen and you're so sweet. And I
just love anyone that mentions that you actually listen to
this podcast because we appreciate you.

Speaker 3 (38:48):
Tim, why don't you host us at the Masters? We'll
do a pod from there.

Speaker 2 (38:51):
Tim is a time.

Speaker 3 (38:55):
Guys, speaking of something exciting. We have a teaser. We're
not going to say what it is, but we're doing
something really great in May.

Speaker 1 (39:03):
Oh my god, Aaron and I are doing something that
has always been a dream of mine. She's done something
like this before. I have never done it this person,
not with that person. But you've done something like it before,
and it is.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
Really exciting.

Speaker 3 (39:18):
There's a new versation if we want to actually do
something out there. I told you that, Ryan.

Speaker 5 (39:23):
Yeah, I'm starting to put in the game right for me.
I'm starting to get it. Yeah, I gotcha.

Speaker 2 (39:31):
Yeah, you're so cute.

Speaker 1 (39:34):
Okay, Yeah, we have very exciting news. No, and it
doesn't involve Taylor Swift and Travis because anytime we make
an announcement. It's like, okay, his number, guys, probably, but
it is very exciting news for the Calm Down podcast,
so we're excited to share it with you.

Speaker 2 (39:53):
We love you all.
