Speaker 1 (00:00):
And this is nothing against UK. Great, I'm having a time.
It's great, but you just realize that things that are different,
and you're like, I'm the asshole American. Right now, I'm
the asshole American and I get it. Calm Down with
Erin and Carissa is a production of iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Ladies and gentlemen, of the jury, your verdict is guilty
of missing you.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Oh my god. I haven't literally, guys, this is not
a joke. I've not seen this woman's face. I haven't
talked to her other than a text message. No in
weeks telegram.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I mean I started writing letters to you Postmark John.
I've missed you so much. Oh my god, Ladies and gentlemen,
Welcome to the Calm Down Podcast. We're reunited and it's
the only thing that feels so good.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Die. What's going on? Hi? Tell me about the bird.
You look so fresh.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Oh, showered for the first time in three days here.
Oh that's not true, shower every night.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
But you know what I mean. Actually, my hair.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
There's a bird pecking on this skylight right before we
started recording over and over. That's what woke me up
at four o'clock in the morning. Steve the other day, goes,
I'm going to kill this bird. I was like, you
can't kill the bird, because then you're going to shoot
a hole in the roof. We also can't kill animals, Okay,
we're here to rescue them. I'm like, I'm chucking this
empty water bottle over and over at the skylight. If
(01:23):
anyone has any suggestions on how to keep a bird
from pecking at a skylight incessantly. It has woken us
up every single morning.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Now, wow, are.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
There multiple skylights in your house and so it's walking
over all of them?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Sure? Is huh it? Yep?
Speaker 2 (01:39):
And I don't get it. I don't know if it
sees its reflection in it. I don't know what it's doing.
I don't know if it thinks it's like a window
and it can go through running into it. No, you know,
I just like to complain about these things. I can't
find a solution. I'm looking for solutions from you. Hey,
forget the bird for a second.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
We need to start from the beginning.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Oh my god, birds of a feather flock together, and
I have not seen you in months. I really love
that picture behind you. Can you say where you are?
I feel like we've been trying it up to where's Waldo.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
I'm in the UK.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I've been here for a week and I am here
having a great time.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
I'm just things are We'll get to it. So I'm
out here.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
I'm filming a game show for Fox with Ken Johng,
who is the funniest And it's not even like he's
not even like hangover funny or crazy Rich Asians, funny
movies he's been in or community. He has this laugh
where he throws his head back and he starts laughing,
(02:42):
and he apparently thinks everything I say is funny, which
makes me like him even more.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
He's the funniest.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
We got to get him on this. He is so
funniest dude ever. Like, he is just a funny, funny
guy and he makes things light because the days are long.
And yeah, but this is me outside of the game show.
This has nothing to do with this, and I'm grateful
of the opportunity and I hope it's a lot of
fun for everyone. Things are hard for me to grasp
(03:08):
in a different country. We got, we got the adapters. Hey,
I got, I got, I got all of these.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
I have all of these and they won't fit into
the wall behind me. Why are we using different ones
all around? Yeah, we need a universal charger for it.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Wasn't going to this one. This one doesn't go into
this one. Then there's one that's you're supposed to just
pack five.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
And have you blown out one of your hair dryers
yet because you have the wrong voltage. That happened to
me actually recently. But wait, hold on, back up a second.
Can you tell us more about this game show? Because
I am so excited for you. You were born, well
you're born to do a lot of things, but two
things in particular, because we need to go all the
way back. The last time I saw you was in
(03:52):
New York. I know this has now been three weeks
ago at this point, that feels like three months. Yeah,
that's three were last time I saw you in New York.
You were there for upfronts for Fox. I was doing
stuff for Amazon. We went to a friend's house for dinner,
ended up in a Rose Hayes, rolling around on the
ground a time.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
In a rose.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah, forget the app and your haze. You were in
a Rose Hayes. I'll take all the colors. I was
a Creola box. We had a great time, and then
fast forward to I left, you left, and then we
haven't seen each other since. So you then went on
to uh co host The Third Hour not the Third
Hour with Jennaen Friends on the Today Show, which like
(04:35):
years ago, Crush, did you have such a good time
doing that because you were She's the best point, you
were born to do that.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
You were so good on it.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
It was a really fun time, great week in New York,
fell as ship the week later after our baby news,
which I have to say really quick, the everybody that
reached out so sweet, like you know who made me
cry the most besides you and like their friends. I'll
cry right now. I just get a call and it's
(05:06):
Jay Glazer and I pick up and I just start crying.
I'm like hi, and he's like I love you, and
I'm like I love you too.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
He's so good at that, he's so good at that.
He's like go ahead, No, no, no, you go he no.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
We just I just knew, Like it's not like I
talked to Glaze on the phone all the time, like
it's a quick text or it's a whatever. And then
the second I saw him call, I was like hi,
and he goes, I love you, and I just said
I love you too, like but show like that we
talk all the time about like our people and the
people that are there for you, and like our brothers,
Crissel were so lucky for our brothers. I mean, just
(05:41):
you know, it's not easy for men to reach out,
but I have to say that so many men did
because so many people.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Deal with this.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
So, yeah, my life all is shit after New York,
after being in a Rose Hayes.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yeah, I'm very proud of you though, And obviously you
know this was something that you know, you and I
were texting and talking a lot about, but you as
you articulated on here, and I wish I could have
been on there with you to talk about it. But
you know, this platform is a safe place for you
to be able to talk about I mean, look, we've
(06:15):
both had shitty stuff happened in our lives and this
has been a sanctuary and so many people erin. I
will never know what it's like to go through what
you went through, but so many other people have, and
for you to talk about it, it says a lot
about your own growth in dealing with trauma, and you
were open about the fact that you're like, I wasn't
good about dealing with this before, and so I'm very
(06:37):
proud of you for doing that.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
And it's not.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Easy to be vulnerable about things that are that of
that magnitude. So I'd be remissed if I didn't ask you,
because you have so many people, including myself first and foremost,
that care about you and Jared too. This isn't a
one way thing. It's not just you. It's you and
your husband. How are you guys doing?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Yeah, I ended up obviously having to regroup away and
get out here and come to work. Look, it's tough,
Like some days are good, some days are bad. Some
days are so busy you don't think about it. And
then you have the times that you're in the town
and you see a baby carriage.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
You know, it's so it's not funny.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
But you get back to when you have success with
having a baby, and then you don't. You're brought right
back to the world of like God, like, why.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Is this so difficult for me?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
And you see a family of four and a family
of two and a family and then you remember, like, look,
life is so precious. Greg Olsen wrote me that in
a text last week, and he's just like it just
makes you remember, like what you went through to get
Mac and life is so precious. I think the one thing,
you know, and it's not the one thing, just the
many things that stick with me is that we kind
(07:47):
of you and I joked around like, oh my god,
how am I going to be with a girl?
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Like?
Speaker 3 (07:50):
How am I going to be with a girl?
Speaker 1 (07:52):
And the one thing that like stuck with me is that,
like everybody says to you and I are such great
inspirations for girls, And then that was my last girl.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
You know, it's like I can't have one.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
But listen, I've got his son and he'll crush it
and I'll be really hard on him to be amazing girl.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
So yeah, yeah, there's that.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Well, I love you, and I wish I could reach
through here and give you a huge hug. I also
get can and have a time and great Aaron and
I have a vacation on the book, which everything I
cannot come soon enough for both of us. But I
sorry if I'm using this, because I probably shouldn't not
have just asked you this privately, but since we're talking
about it, I don't know, Like I always just keep
(08:35):
saying like I'm here for you.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
I'm here for you. I'm here for you.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
It's like, okay, but what does that actually mean? What
is the most No, but what is the most helpful thing?
Since we're you know, talking about how you can pay
it forward and how you can learn from these things,
like what's the most helpful thing that some people have
done or said? Like when you're going through something like this,
is it just a text or is it like sending
(08:57):
funny quotes like.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
How how is it that other people can help you?
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Yeah, because you know, or help anybody that's been through
this man or woman, right, And like, you know, I
do a good job when we're joking around. We were
on a text chain with one of our girlfriends and
we were talking about how I just wanted to get
into the car and like go work out, and then
like Tears in Heaven from Eric Clapton came on and
crime me around and I'm like, oh, and then you
(09:24):
and I started reciting Field Magnolia lines like I need that,
you know, And I don't know how other people deal
with like, you know, grief and stuff, but humor, I
think feeling the feels. I was proud of myself and
grateful for you and my other girlfriends and guy friends
where I was like I'm sad. You know, like guys
like TV would write me or Kevin or my bosses
(09:45):
and I would just instead of saying, oh it's okay,
I was like, this is fucking brutal. And I didn't
do that last time, you know, So AnyWho, good, Okay,
Well I wanted to yeah, I mean staying busy, but
also not to suppress it. I'm proud of you for
not just being like, oh, I'm just going to move
on to the next thing. It's like, well you have
to life life Unfortunately, doesn't you know, push pause because
(10:09):
people are going through stuff. But your ability to recognize, like, hey,
I need to acknowledge these feelings, but then also stay
busy is important. We'll just know that you have a
big community of people. I'm the you know, the president
of your fan club and always here for you.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
I love you.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
But so many people, like I said, I've reached out
and it's like been part of it, been through it,
been part of that club.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
So yeah, no, it was. It was wild.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
It's funny that you mentioned that funny, funny glacier, but
like you know, Glacier is so funny, Like we always
joke like Glaize, what are we doing? But it's amazing
how just a phone call when I had my phone
got hacked and bad things were leaked. Ye he called
and what he said the funniest thing, I won't even
repeat it that is so inappropriate but also exactly what
(11:03):
I needed. And I just started cracking up, and it's like, hey,
get through it. So you really do realize how great
your community is when bad things happen, and not that
you want them to happen, but at least you know
like how lucky you are because there's a lot of
people that don't have someone calling on the other line.
So for anyone that's going through stuff, consider us your
call on the other end of the line, because we
are here for you no matter what you're going through.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
But I love you. I love you, Garrett.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
And in an effort to take advantage of what little
time I have with you here, you know the times
the time change is. I mean, look, Hi, I'm not
saying anything that we don't know. I'm having to look
at the world clock thing on my phone. I'm like,
can I text.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Her what she doing? Where's she going, so how much
longer are you over there?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Do not disturb when I'm sleeping, And like the random
time I think you were dming me and I was
dming you and I'm like, shit, I'll just text you back.
So yeah, the good news is I don't have much
time to do anything else. We are at the studio
pretty much from the early morning till we leave, probably
about ten thirty eleven at night, crushing it.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
So this is the premise of the game. Okay, yeah,
tell us everything.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
There are some cast of characters, and the best part
is Ken is all in for the comments and it's great.
So it's called ninety nine to be. We start off
with one hundred people and they are given a series
of challenges and your biggest thing is well, the only
thing is you don't have to finish first. You don't
(12:29):
have to be the best. You can be any age,
you can be in any shape. You just can't come
in last, and if you do, you are gone. I
don't know if I'm allowed to say what the grand.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Prize is, but it's good. I would play this if
I could.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Oh yeah, so wait, what are some of the competitions?
Can you say, like, are they Are they trivia? Are
they physical? What's happening? Let's get physical.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Are competitions that you could set up at your house
and you never thought about it.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
But this is what the joy and the beauty.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Of reality TV is. We walk away at night from
the studio thinking about the tears. I've seen three women
tackle each other, people have cried, people have like needed
a time out because they're having like a panic attack
for simple challenges that include balloons, rubber band shirt. But
(13:20):
when this amount of money is on the line, people are.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Losing it savage.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
That's why, like reality TV is incredible. Like if you
think of the whole premise of The Bachelor, these women
are desperate and men for love, you.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Feed them alcohol. You've been in the track, right I have.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
I went to the house in Mike Flice, who created
the show. I've known him for years through sports and stuff,
and he was like, you've got to come. I was
living in Malibu at the time. The mansion was in Malibu.
I don't know that still is. And he's like, you
got to come to one of these tape ins or
you know, like a night at the mansion. I was like, oh,
I'm bricking in so their setup was like in the garage,
(14:01):
and I'm like, they are just I mean, you don't
even again, one cocktail, it's not even about just like
pumping and full alcohol. One cocktail and You're exactly right.
Shit gets competitive. But by the way, you and I
would be the same way, like when you think, right, oh,
it's not a big deal, like I don't you know,
I'm just here to maybe find love. When somebody else
(14:22):
starts boxing you out and being like, oh, no, that's
my man, I'd be like, no, bitch, that's my man.
It's not even about the guy anymore. Now, it's about
me winning and you losing. And so shit is going down.
And I was sitting there watching it and I was like,
this happens every night. He's like, oh, yeah, why do
you think this show has been on for you know,
twenty five years or whatever it's been.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
I'm like, good for you. Yes, that was a dual check.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
I did Dancing with the Stars and like, listen, it's
good competition, but it is true, like you're I was
talking about it with my assistant the other day. She
said she was watching an interview with somebody that competed
on Love Island. She's like you're away from your family,
you have no way to socialize, which I have felt
like because my friends are all asleep when I'm up
waste for my family. And then like you are not
(15:07):
on your like you're not eating the food you normally eat,
you're not working out, you're wasted. Like you're gonna say
shit and just say shit, it's not the show I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
But no, no, no, no, just these reality shit. Right.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
He is amazing, amazing, And then you have Ken who
is just providing commentary of what he's seeing. And then
they wanted me to kind of set it up in sports,
you know terms like you see this job. There's a
competition of like nine. I'm like, Okay, this guy is
the Tom Brady or the Patrick Mahomes of the group. Look,
if they're having problems, he's talking them through it. I
(15:40):
like how he's trying to get him back on the
same page. And like so and so the group's over
here like showing her ass and her ass not really rass,
but you know, having like a a moment.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
On the sideline. Yeah, I feel like how she is.
And I was like, look look at what a good
leader Ronald is over here. It's just cred Miller's so
good at your job, but like, oh I'm not. But
that's so fun.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Though.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
There's one great moment.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
So I saw somebody come in and this is where
like I resort back to the sidelines with this game.
I saw somebody come in and she had an ice
pack on her neck, and I said, oh shit, it's
so much so she has an ice pack and he goes, yeah,
she hurt her neck. And I go, how about and
ken'sa doctor. Go okay, doctor, I said, she's just overheated,
like she isn't I said, thank god, you're not doing
(16:25):
the freaking NFL. Can you imagine Saquon Barkley out for
the year with a quad injury. Oh no, wait, he
just has his shoulders frame like this guy. He's great,
that's right.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
I always forget that he was an actual doctor. Didn't
he go to do to This guy went to Duke
so smart.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
He got to get her to right.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Yes, family medicine, great, cool, great family practice. He's always
like Kaiser Permanente, like he's just whipping that out.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
But she's so funny.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
He got his start from jud Apatow in Knocked Up,
and he played doctor in it. And jud was like,
I'm going to make you my project he was doing
while he was practicing stand up comedy because he loved
it so much.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
But then he also, you know, was being a doctor.
And then he's like, I'm just gonna do this hysterically.
Wait what time is it there? Right now?
Speaker 1 (17:14):
It's almost time for dinner. It's five point thirty. As
I'm drinking my coffee, I just had another one?
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (17:22):
So?
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Can I tell you what they don't have in the UK? Salads?
Speaker 1 (17:26):
And it's not that they don't have them, but like
it's interesting to talk to people that live here. They're like, yeah,
you guys are obsessed with salads, and I was like,
we pretty much are. When you realize you can't get them.
You can get them, but it's not like they go
out a copper or sweet green or all that kind
of stuff.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
And this is nothing against the UK.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Great, I'm having a time, it's great, but you just
realize that things that are different, and you're like, I'm
the asshole American right now. I'm the ass whole American
And I get it.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Ice.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Ice is always the thing whenever whenever I go to
Europe with all my travels ice is not a thing.
Is like, you have to like request ice. And then
when we were in Italy, Steve and I, what was
it last year? The year before regular coffee? It's only espresso.
I'm like, can I just get a black cup of coffee?
It's always this intest Yeah, I'm like what so, yeah,
(18:14):
coffee was a big one.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
And ice.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Good luck Pa, Ruby and our little state manager Katie
I know a good name, Yeah, Katie who I have
named Katie Nanna and she dies over that.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
And Ruby, who I called rude. Never had a pbn
J before they came into my trailer. I made them
and he goes, They're like friggin delicious, this is great.
I'm like, what are you people eating? You're not having
a poebe and hit.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Yeah, So what does your typical day look like?
Speaker 3 (18:52):
There?
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Wake up, rush to the gym to clear my head
and try to look cute, and then quickly shower, breakfast,
your spy fire.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Wow. Okay, what we got?
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Okay, really really gave me somewhere that I love. And
you can get a spinach in a mushroom situation, delicious,
so many yogurt toppings. I'm so happy and afraid that
wakes you up, so it's you.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Know, it's not all frustrated your doctors.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Yeah, and then get right to the studio and there
for about fifteen hours.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
My Gal, I love it. I'm so I'm so proud
of you.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
This is great though, a game show and you because
this is the thing. So anyone that's ever seen Aaron
on QBC knows this. This is like, she can, you know,
host the Today Show, she can be on the silnce
of the super Bowl, she could do the game show.
Give give me a QBC moment with my gal. I'm
peeing my pants because it's it's the throwaway lines that
(19:49):
get me that most people aren't picking up off the floor,
but I.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Am anay attention.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
I'm crying laughing, So I feel like that's definitely going
to be you on a game show that I got.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Don't edit around all of them. I know.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
We've had some nights where we're just sitting and we're
waiting for things to be set up, and I'm just
sitting with Ken and I'm wearing a very light pant
and I've had to really clench because I'm so close
to peeing my pants.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
He is just he just thanks.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Like I was asking what particular night we were going
to be on, what people we were going up against,
and I guess I made a comment, and he's the
kind of laughter that goes.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Like that laughing. We had actually a fun night last night.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
One of our one of our gals that's in charge
of this whole production. I don't know people's titled, but
I know she's a big Dale Claire. Shout out to
Claire in her skin. She owns a little wine shop
with her sister or her It's called the Wine Sisters
in a village and we all want them to have
a couple glasses of wine. And Ken showed up, and
(20:53):
you would have thought the Prime Minister or Prince William
showed up. People were coming from different places to come
get a picture with the guy from the Hangover.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
He's probably so generous too. He's just like lining up
like it's Mickey Mouse. Just take a picture. That's so great.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Yeah, it was great.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
This is talking about me, and please tell me things
you've been up to. Why this is the This is
literally the first time you guys. I can't overstate this.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
I have not been the headlines. You looks great. I
know you probably can't much about it, but you looks great.
Not in the headlines, but just gallivanting across her.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Oh, the bachelorette party. The bachelorette party. I gotta tell you. So,
you know how we talk about all the time. We're like, okay,
we're like a lot of girls together. It's like, oh,
I should go.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
It's always like okay, like this, it's a lot like
let's relax, ladies. We don't need all of that. I
gotta tell you. I went in being like, hey, my
girlfriend's getting married. She wants me to come to the
bachelorette party.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
I'm down.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
I'm always up, up for a good time, and you
are getting time on those well that's very sweet. But
again it's like I'm just along for the ride.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
This guest list is like I'm going to be in
the background, just observing whatever's going on here.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
I got to tell you.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
The second I land there and I get into this
incredible hotel, the che beautiful from the outside. My god,
I thought that I had like like princess diaries. It
was like so gorgeous, and we all so again I
go and being like again, a lot of women, it's
a lot is this going to be too much? I
(22:32):
left being like, why don't we have more girlfriends and
why don't we take trips like this? I had the
greatest time. Literally, it was so much fun. We stay together,
which is like a big deal. So it wasn't like
people were in separate hotel rooms, like we were all
in the same like area together.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
You were in a giant room area.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Yeah, it was like an apartment thing or whatever. So
Toby Gonzalez and I were roommates, which already what a goal.
She would be so much fun. But like everyone roomed up.
There was a couple of people that didn't stay, but
like of whatever. However, many girls there was like fourteen
and supping girls were like grown women.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Women.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
There was like maybe a couple that didn't stay. But anyways,
so so much fun. The dinners, just the spectacle, the whole,
like paparazzi and all of that is like not something
that I'm familiar with.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
So I was camble and connected. I would have been like,
no pictures, please, thank you God, please. You know they
were taking them of me exactly, They're not taking them
of me.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
There was one point where we were all on a
boat and like the PAPARAZZI like for people like, you know.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
You were so cute elementing around. I was like, that's
my girl.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Well, a lot of them had to go below because
it was like getting crazy with pictures.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Not me. No one gets a shit that I'm there.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
So I said to Elena, Lauren's sister, I was like,
we're staying out here, We're dancing. I was like, we
are on like this amazing boat. Yeah, hifel powers right here.
So we had so much fun. But yeah, oh my
there nights ended up with us all in matching robes
and like singing karaoke and like it was awesome. We
honestly we had such a good time and I left
(24:06):
there being like I should do trips like this more often.
I don't have that many girlfriends like you and I Mary,
so we could go on your Bachelor are not without
a couple of in rights that would come.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Here's the problem. I don't have that many girlfriends. For
the matter, the ones you have, we would have a
fire time.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Yeah, it was a lot of fun, I got to
say though, and again Lauren's like an amazing host, but
like there was just there was a swag bag courtesy
of Chris and Kim that I really appreciate. I was like,
this is I was like, I felt bad. Toby and
I were in charge of planning something. We had karaoke.
Meanwhile the other ones are giving out. It was like
it was so much fun. I mean, but we had
(24:48):
karaoke and an astrologer as our thing. The other women
are like giving out these like incredible gifts. And I
looked at Toby. I was like, well, we're going to
provide the entertainment. If nothing else, we will make sure
that everyone has a good time. But yeah, it was
very fun.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
It's good. And then what else has been going on?
What else has been going on on the rand? I'm
still here.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
I'm trying to maximize as much time as I possibly
can here because I'm not here for the entire month
of June, which I already have extrain and guilt about.
I know you feel like that with Maclin. You're like
working and you're like, I have mom guilt. I have
mom guilt where I'm like, I'm not going to be
with my animals, so I can only imagine what it's
like with your child. But yeah, I'm not going to
(25:30):
because we're traveling. I got the Belmont Steaks speak. There's
a horse right behind your head, girl, Belmont Steaks coming up.
So I'm going to do that next weekend, which I'm
excited about. You know, I love comforting around the Belmont Steaks.
Talk to me about American sports. It's just well because
unfortunately there's not a triple Crown contender, which always sucks.
But again, it's still a triple Crown race. There's a
(25:52):
lot of I'm going to do a feature on journalism.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
What are the horses? That is this whole?
Speaker 2 (25:57):
I mean, look, I look at my horse and eat Oz.
I love you, but I'm like, we gotta get you
going here. You're nowhere near thoroughbread status, buddy. These horses
are so bad. Incent machines and anyone that says that
they're not athletes, I'm like, are you insane?
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Look at these horses. They're so beautiful.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
So I'm just kind of geeked out to go and
like see these animals. And then I like going around
the stalls. I like talking to the trainers, like getting tipped,
like I'm gonna all of a sudden become like a
jockey and race Oz like that around here.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
But that's good.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
The ranch is perfect, like it's like the perfect time
and here where it's I saw a rattlesnake. Though yesterday
I know you would not like this, and you the
only thing anyone that likes those Eric shanks. We actually
went back and good on our rattlesnakes. Because there's three
kinds of snakes that you see out here, a gardener snake,
(26:51):
a gopher snake, and a rattlesnake. Don't kill the gardener
or the gopher snakes you want them because the garfer
snakes will go off to the gophers. Gardener snakes are harmless.
Rattlesnakes like because they can kill you. If I came up,
I went to go, like, hose down Larry the pig
because it's starting to get a little hot.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
This was last summer, those Larry the Pig.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
I'm peeing my pants with ken Jong and you're hosing
down Larry the Pig.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
I mean, look at us, and then you're kinds of
snooze in parents. Yeah, not for me. What I went
to dow just a simple goal. Stars are just like us.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
The rattlesnake was coiled up like it was like this,
and the head was up and I went to open
the gate and I just looked down and I was
like like, because then they're in striking boat, Like that
thing could have just went and killed me. I'm also
in the middle of nowhere, so if that thing bites me,
I'm fucked.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Like I'm dead.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Yeah, exactly exactly. So you have to like get it air,
you have to be airlifted. It's a whole thing. So
when I saw one yesterday, I was like, slowly back away,
slowly back away, and.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
I just let it go.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
I was like, eh, because it was kind of out
in the middle of nowhere. I was feeding I have
another dog I haven't.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Talked to you about.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Oh my god, sweet neighbor who lives on like a
different property, a couple like miles away. She passed away
really suddenly, and she had before she passed away, she
told me like, if I you know, I'm not going
to come back, and can you can you be Lollipop's mom?
I mean, talk about crying. So a dog, another great Pyrenees,
those big white ones. There's a reason that there's like
(28:28):
a ton of them up here is because they're ranch
dogs and they protect your chickens and all the other stuff. Anyways,
but this dog doesn't want to come with me because
it like lives there. So every time I go down there,
it's like timid. It won't let me pet it whatever.
So I'm just slowly but surely like reminding it. I'm like,
I'm your mother. Uh but yeah, that was where the
Rattlesnake was. You know, I'm just out here. You're out
(28:51):
in London. I'm out on the ranch. Different kinds of
problems and situations present themselves, but here we are.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
I love so happy to see you. I really miss you.
Oh god, I know I really miss you. I miss
our group, I miss everything. Hey, shaking of this and
I think it's there's so many things in my fifteen
hour day.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
I was just thinking about with this. I know we
were texting about it.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Shout out to our girl Taylor Swift forgetting her music MACS.
I was thinking about it, and I know rad I
texted about it, but I was thinking about it more
and more, and like, look, we don't know the inside
story about like what it was like for her trying
to recreate the music. Obviously have heard about it, but
I when you think about the message that you never
(29:37):
want her to go through that and what it the
battle that was, but the message that that sent out
to women, like don't give up, go after what's yours,
like if.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
I just really like was thinking about that so much
last night when that news hit about she didn't give up.
She showed people like I will get it back. It
has a way of working itself out. I just think
that's so powerful. And at the time when it was
all happening, I wonder if she even thought that that
was what was the message that was out there.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
You know what I mean, Yeah, this is not the same,
But all I could think about in that moment of like,
how would I feel if something that was mine was
taken away from me without the opportunity to even have it.
Was going through a divorce and when she tries to
take things that are not theirs and legally you have
(30:29):
to hand it over or you have to do things
or give money, and you're like, it's not yours, it's
not yours.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
I worked so hard for this exactly, And essentially that's
kind of what she went through, was a divorce from
her manager and then yeah, she lost it with hers.
It's such a powerful message about it is with it.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
And so to get that back, like I would feel
the same way, and I can't imagine too, Like you know,
mine was a monetary situation, but like when you think
about this with music, like that's your heart and soul
and blood, and that's your experiences and then for somebody
else to just own that is so like it feels like,
I don't know, probably feels like you've been robbed, right,
(31:12):
or a number of different feelings in terms of like
something personal to you and how somebody else gets to.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Say it's theirs.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
But yeah, anyone that knows us knows how.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Much we love and care about that Gal. So happy
for her that she has that back, So happy for her.

Ladies and gentlemen, of the jury, your verdict is guilty
of missing you.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Oh my god. I haven't literally, guys, this is not
a joke. I've not seen this woman's face. I haven't
talked to her other than a text message. No in
weeks telegram.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I mean I started writing letters to you Postmark John.
I've missed you so much. Oh my god, Ladies and gentlemen,
Welcome to the Calm Down Podcast. We're reunited and it's
the only thing that feels so good.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Die. What's going on? Hi? Tell me about the bird.
You look so fresh.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Oh, showered for the first time in three days here.
Oh that's not true, shower every night.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
But you know what I mean. Actually, my hair.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
There's a bird pecking on this skylight right before we
started recording over and over. That's what woke me up
at four o'clock in the morning. Steve the other day, goes,
I'm going to kill this bird. I was like, you
can't kill the bird, because then you're going to shoot
a hole in the roof. We also can't kill animals, Okay,
we're here to rescue them. I'm like, I'm chucking this
empty water bottle over and over at the skylight. If
(01:23):
anyone has any suggestions on how to keep a bird
from pecking at a skylight incessantly. It has woken us
up every single morning.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Now, wow, are.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
There multiple skylights in your house and so it's walking
over all of them?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Sure? Is huh it? Yep?
Speaker 2 (01:39):
And I don't get it. I don't know if it
sees its reflection in it. I don't know what it's doing.
I don't know if it thinks it's like a window
and it can go through running into it. No, you know,
I just like to complain about these things. I can't
find a solution. I'm looking for solutions from you. Hey,
forget the bird for a second.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
We need to start from the beginning.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Oh my god, birds of a feather flock together, and
I have not seen you in months. I really love
that picture behind you. Can you say where you are?
I feel like we've been trying it up to where's Waldo.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
I'm in the UK.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I've been here for a week and I am here
having a great time.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
I'm just things are We'll get to it. So I'm
out here.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
I'm filming a game show for Fox with Ken Johng,
who is the funniest And it's not even like he's
not even like hangover funny or crazy Rich Asians, funny
movies he's been in or community. He has this laugh
where he throws his head back and he starts laughing,
(02:42):
and he apparently thinks everything I say is funny, which
makes me like him even more.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
He's the funniest.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
We got to get him on this. He is so
funniest dude ever. Like, he is just a funny, funny
guy and he makes things light because the days are long.
And yeah, but this is me outside of the game show.
This has nothing to do with this, and I'm grateful
of the opportunity and I hope it's a lot of
fun for everyone. Things are hard for me to grasp
(03:08):
in a different country. We got, we got the adapters. Hey,
I got, I got, I got all of these.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
I have all of these and they won't fit into
the wall behind me. Why are we using different ones
all around? Yeah, we need a universal charger for it.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Wasn't going to this one. This one doesn't go into
this one. Then there's one that's you're supposed to just
pack five.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
And have you blown out one of your hair dryers
yet because you have the wrong voltage. That happened to
me actually recently. But wait, hold on, back up a second.
Can you tell us more about this game show? Because
I am so excited for you. You were born, well
you're born to do a lot of things, but two
things in particular, because we need to go all the
way back. The last time I saw you was in
(03:52):
New York. I know this has now been three weeks
ago at this point, that feels like three months. Yeah,
that's three were last time I saw you in New York.
You were there for upfronts for Fox. I was doing
stuff for Amazon. We went to a friend's house for dinner,
ended up in a Rose Hayes, rolling around on the
ground a time.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
In a rose.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah, forget the app and your haze. You were in
a Rose Hayes. I'll take all the colors. I was
a Creola box. We had a great time, and then
fast forward to I left, you left, and then we
haven't seen each other since. So you then went on
to uh co host The Third Hour not the Third
Hour with Jennaen Friends on the Today Show, which like
(04:35):
years ago, Crush, did you have such a good time
doing that because you were She's the best point, you
were born to do that.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
You were so good on it.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
It was a really fun time, great week in New York,
fell as ship the week later after our baby news,
which I have to say really quick, the everybody that
reached out so sweet, like you know who made me
cry the most besides you and like their friends. I'll
cry right now. I just get a call and it's
(05:06):
Jay Glazer and I pick up and I just start crying.
I'm like hi, and he's like I love you, and
I'm like I love you too.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
He's so good at that, he's so good at that.
He's like go ahead, No, no, no, you go he no.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
We just I just knew, Like it's not like I
talked to Glaze on the phone all the time, like
it's a quick text or it's a whatever. And then
the second I saw him call, I was like hi,
and he goes, I love you, and I just said
I love you too, like but show like that we
talk all the time about like our people and the
people that are there for you, and like our brothers,
Crissel were so lucky for our brothers. I mean, just
(05:41):
you know, it's not easy for men to reach out,
but I have to say that so many men did
because so many people.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Deal with this.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
So, yeah, my life all is shit after New York,
after being in a Rose Hayes.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yeah, I'm very proud of you though, And obviously you
know this was something that you know, you and I
were texting and talking a lot about, but you as
you articulated on here, and I wish I could have
been on there with you to talk about it. But
you know, this platform is a safe place for you
to be able to talk about I mean, look, we've
(06:15):
both had shitty stuff happened in our lives and this
has been a sanctuary and so many people erin. I
will never know what it's like to go through what
you went through, but so many other people have, and
for you to talk about it, it says a lot
about your own growth in dealing with trauma, and you
were open about the fact that you're like, I wasn't
good about dealing with this before, and so I'm very
(06:37):
proud of you for doing that.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
And it's not.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Easy to be vulnerable about things that are that of
that magnitude. So I'd be remissed if I didn't ask you,
because you have so many people, including myself first and foremost,
that care about you and Jared too. This isn't a
one way thing. It's not just you. It's you and
your husband. How are you guys doing?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Yeah, I ended up obviously having to regroup away and
get out here and come to work. Look, it's tough,
Like some days are good, some days are bad. Some
days are so busy you don't think about it. And
then you have the times that you're in the town
and you see a baby carriage.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
You know, it's so it's not funny.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
But you get back to when you have success with
having a baby, and then you don't. You're brought right
back to the world of like God, like, why.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Is this so difficult for me?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
And you see a family of four and a family
of two and a family and then you remember, like, look,
life is so precious. Greg Olsen wrote me that in
a text last week, and he's just like it just
makes you remember, like what you went through to get
Mac and life is so precious. I think the one thing,
you know, and it's not the one thing, just the
many things that stick with me is that we kind
(07:47):
of you and I joked around like, oh my god,
how am I going to be with a girl?
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Like?
Speaker 3 (07:50):
How am I going to be with a girl?
Speaker 1 (07:52):
And the one thing that like stuck with me is that,
like everybody says to you and I are such great
inspirations for girls, And then that was my last girl.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
You know, it's like I can't have one.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
But listen, I've got his son and he'll crush it
and I'll be really hard on him to be amazing girl.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
So yeah, yeah, there's that.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Well, I love you, and I wish I could reach
through here and give you a huge hug. I also
get can and have a time and great Aaron and
I have a vacation on the book, which everything I
cannot come soon enough for both of us. But I
sorry if I'm using this, because I probably shouldn't not
have just asked you this privately, but since we're talking
about it, I don't know, Like I always just keep
(08:35):
saying like I'm here for you.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
I'm here for you. I'm here for you.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
It's like, okay, but what does that actually mean? What
is the most No, but what is the most helpful thing?
Since we're you know, talking about how you can pay
it forward and how you can learn from these things,
like what's the most helpful thing that some people have
done or said? Like when you're going through something like this,
is it just a text or is it like sending
(08:57):
funny quotes like.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
How how is it that other people can help you?
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Yeah, because you know, or help anybody that's been through
this man or woman, right, And like, you know, I
do a good job when we're joking around. We were
on a text chain with one of our girlfriends and
we were talking about how I just wanted to get
into the car and like go work out, and then
like Tears in Heaven from Eric Clapton came on and
crime me around and I'm like, oh, and then you
(09:24):
and I started reciting Field Magnolia lines like I need that,
you know, And I don't know how other people deal
with like, you know, grief and stuff, but humor, I
think feeling the feels. I was proud of myself and
grateful for you and my other girlfriends and guy friends
where I was like I'm sad. You know, like guys
like TV would write me or Kevin or my bosses
(09:45):
and I would just instead of saying, oh it's okay,
I was like, this is fucking brutal. And I didn't
do that last time, you know, So AnyWho, good, Okay,
Well I wanted to yeah, I mean staying busy, but
also not to suppress it. I'm proud of you for
not just being like, oh, I'm just going to move
on to the next thing. It's like, well you have
to life life Unfortunately, doesn't you know, push pause because
(10:09):
people are going through stuff. But your ability to recognize, like, hey,
I need to acknowledge these feelings, but then also stay
busy is important. We'll just know that you have a
big community of people. I'm the you know, the president
of your fan club and always here for you.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
I love you.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
But so many people, like I said, I've reached out
and it's like been part of it, been through it,
been part of that club.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
So yeah, no, it was. It was wild.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
It's funny that you mentioned that funny, funny glacier, but
like you know, Glacier is so funny, Like we always
joke like Glaize, what are we doing? But it's amazing
how just a phone call when I had my phone
got hacked and bad things were leaked. Ye he called
and what he said the funniest thing, I won't even
repeat it that is so inappropriate but also exactly what
(11:03):
I needed. And I just started cracking up, and it's like, hey,
get through it. So you really do realize how great
your community is when bad things happen, and not that
you want them to happen, but at least you know
like how lucky you are because there's a lot of
people that don't have someone calling on the other line.
So for anyone that's going through stuff, consider us your
call on the other end of the line, because we
are here for you no matter what you're going through.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
But I love you. I love you, Garrett.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
And in an effort to take advantage of what little
time I have with you here, you know the times
the time change is. I mean, look, Hi, I'm not
saying anything that we don't know. I'm having to look
at the world clock thing on my phone. I'm like,
can I text.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Her what she doing? Where's she going, so how much
longer are you over there?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Do not disturb when I'm sleeping, And like the random
time I think you were dming me and I was
dming you and I'm like, shit, I'll just text you back.
So yeah, the good news is I don't have much
time to do anything else. We are at the studio
pretty much from the early morning till we leave, probably
about ten thirty eleven at night, crushing it.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
So this is the premise of the game. Okay, yeah,
tell us everything.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
There are some cast of characters, and the best part
is Ken is all in for the comments and it's great.
So it's called ninety nine to be. We start off
with one hundred people and they are given a series
of challenges and your biggest thing is well, the only
thing is you don't have to finish first. You don't
(12:29):
have to be the best. You can be any age,
you can be in any shape. You just can't come
in last, and if you do, you are gone. I
don't know if I'm allowed to say what the grand.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Prize is, but it's good. I would play this if
I could.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Oh yeah, so wait, what are some of the competitions?
Can you say, like, are they Are they trivia? Are
they physical? What's happening? Let's get physical.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Are competitions that you could set up at your house
and you never thought about it.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
But this is what the joy and the beauty.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Of reality TV is. We walk away at night from
the studio thinking about the tears. I've seen three women
tackle each other, people have cried, people have like needed
a time out because they're having like a panic attack
for simple challenges that include balloons, rubber band shirt. But
(13:20):
when this amount of money is on the line, people are.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Losing it savage.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
That's why, like reality TV is incredible. Like if you
think of the whole premise of The Bachelor, these women
are desperate and men for love, you.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Feed them alcohol. You've been in the track, right I have.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
I went to the house in Mike Flice, who created
the show. I've known him for years through sports and stuff,
and he was like, you've got to come. I was
living in Malibu at the time. The mansion was in Malibu.
I don't know that still is. And he's like, you
got to come to one of these tape ins or
you know, like a night at the mansion. I was like, oh,
I'm bricking in so their setup was like in the garage,
(14:01):
and I'm like, they are just I mean, you don't
even again, one cocktail, it's not even about just like
pumping and full alcohol. One cocktail and You're exactly right.
Shit gets competitive. But by the way, you and I
would be the same way, like when you think, right, oh,
it's not a big deal, like I don't you know,
I'm just here to maybe find love. When somebody else
(14:22):
starts boxing you out and being like, oh, no, that's
my man, I'd be like, no, bitch, that's my man.
It's not even about the guy anymore. Now, it's about
me winning and you losing. And so shit is going down.
And I was sitting there watching it and I was like,
this happens every night. He's like, oh, yeah, why do
you think this show has been on for you know,
twenty five years or whatever it's been.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
I'm like, good for you. Yes, that was a dual check.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
I did Dancing with the Stars and like, listen, it's
good competition, but it is true, like you're I was
talking about it with my assistant the other day. She
said she was watching an interview with somebody that competed
on Love Island. She's like you're away from your family,
you have no way to socialize, which I have felt
like because my friends are all asleep when I'm up
waste for my family. And then like you are not
(15:07):
on your like you're not eating the food you normally eat,
you're not working out, you're wasted. Like you're gonna say
shit and just say shit, it's not the show I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
But no, no, no, no, just these reality shit. Right.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
He is amazing, amazing, And then you have Ken who
is just providing commentary of what he's seeing. And then
they wanted me to kind of set it up in sports,
you know terms like you see this job. There's a
competition of like nine. I'm like, Okay, this guy is
the Tom Brady or the Patrick Mahomes of the group. Look,
if they're having problems, he's talking them through it. I
(15:40):
like how he's trying to get him back on the
same page. And like so and so the group's over
here like showing her ass and her ass not really rass,
but you know, having like a a moment.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
On the sideline. Yeah, I feel like how she is.
And I was like, look look at what a good
leader Ronald is over here. It's just cred Miller's so
good at your job, but like, oh I'm not. But
that's so fun.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Though.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
There's one great moment.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
So I saw somebody come in and this is where
like I resort back to the sidelines with this game.
I saw somebody come in and she had an ice
pack on her neck, and I said, oh shit, it's
so much so she has an ice pack and he goes, yeah,
she hurt her neck. And I go, how about and
ken'sa doctor. Go okay, doctor, I said, she's just overheated,
like she isn't I said, thank god, you're not doing
(16:25):
the freaking NFL. Can you imagine Saquon Barkley out for
the year with a quad injury. Oh no, wait, he
just has his shoulders frame like this guy. He's great,
that's right.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
I always forget that he was an actual doctor. Didn't
he go to do to This guy went to Duke
so smart.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
He got to get her to right.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Yes, family medicine, great, cool, great family practice. He's always
like Kaiser Permanente, like he's just whipping that out.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
But she's so funny.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
He got his start from jud Apatow in Knocked Up,
and he played doctor in it. And jud was like,
I'm going to make you my project he was doing
while he was practicing stand up comedy because he loved
it so much.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
But then he also, you know, was being a doctor.
And then he's like, I'm just gonna do this hysterically.
Wait what time is it there? Right now?
Speaker 1 (17:14):
It's almost time for dinner. It's five point thirty. As
I'm drinking my coffee, I just had another one?
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (17:22):
So?
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Can I tell you what they don't have in the UK? Salads?
Speaker 1 (17:26):
And it's not that they don't have them, but like
it's interesting to talk to people that live here. They're like, yeah,
you guys are obsessed with salads, and I was like,
we pretty much are. When you realize you can't get them.
You can get them, but it's not like they go
out a copper or sweet green or all that kind
of stuff.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
And this is nothing against the UK.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Great, I'm having a time, it's great, but you just
realize that things that are different, and you're like, I'm
the asshole American right now. I'm the ass whole American
And I get it.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Ice.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Ice is always the thing whenever whenever I go to
Europe with all my travels ice is not a thing.
Is like, you have to like request ice. And then
when we were in Italy, Steve and I, what was
it last year? The year before regular coffee? It's only espresso.
I'm like, can I just get a black cup of coffee?
It's always this intest Yeah, I'm like what so, yeah,
(18:14):
coffee was a big one.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
And ice.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Good luck Pa, Ruby and our little state manager Katie
I know a good name, Yeah, Katie who I have
named Katie Nanna and she dies over that.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
And Ruby, who I called rude. Never had a pbn
J before they came into my trailer. I made them
and he goes, They're like friggin delicious, this is great.
I'm like, what are you people eating? You're not having
a poebe and hit.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Yeah, So what does your typical day look like?
Speaker 3 (18:52):
There?
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Wake up, rush to the gym to clear my head
and try to look cute, and then quickly shower, breakfast,
your spy fire.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Wow. Okay, what we got?
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Okay, really really gave me somewhere that I love. And
you can get a spinach in a mushroom situation, delicious,
so many yogurt toppings. I'm so happy and afraid that
wakes you up, so it's you.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Know, it's not all frustrated your doctors.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Yeah, and then get right to the studio and there
for about fifteen hours.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
My Gal, I love it. I'm so I'm so proud
of you.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
This is great though, a game show and you because
this is the thing. So anyone that's ever seen Aaron
on QBC knows this. This is like, she can, you know,
host the Today Show, she can be on the silnce
of the super Bowl, she could do the game show.
Give give me a QBC moment with my gal. I'm
peeing my pants because it's it's the throwaway lines that
(19:49):
get me that most people aren't picking up off the floor,
but I.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Am anay attention.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
I'm crying laughing, So I feel like that's definitely going
to be you on a game show that I got.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Don't edit around all of them. I know.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
We've had some nights where we're just sitting and we're
waiting for things to be set up, and I'm just
sitting with Ken and I'm wearing a very light pant
and I've had to really clench because I'm so close
to peeing my pants.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
He is just he just thanks.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Like I was asking what particular night we were going
to be on, what people we were going up against,
and I guess I made a comment, and he's the
kind of laughter that goes.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Like that laughing. We had actually a fun night last night.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
One of our one of our gals that's in charge
of this whole production. I don't know people's titled, but
I know she's a big Dale Claire. Shout out to
Claire in her skin. She owns a little wine shop
with her sister or her It's called the Wine Sisters
in a village and we all want them to have
a couple glasses of wine. And Ken showed up, and
(20:53):
you would have thought the Prime Minister or Prince William
showed up. People were coming from different places to come
get a picture with the guy from the Hangover.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
He's probably so generous too. He's just like lining up
like it's Mickey Mouse. Just take a picture. That's so great.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Yeah, it was great.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
This is talking about me, and please tell me things
you've been up to. Why this is the This is
literally the first time you guys. I can't overstate this.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
I have not been the headlines. You looks great. I
know you probably can't much about it, but you looks great.
Not in the headlines, but just gallivanting across her.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Oh, the bachelorette party. The bachelorette party. I gotta tell you. So,
you know how we talk about all the time. We're like, okay,
we're like a lot of girls together. It's like, oh,
I should go.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
It's always like okay, like this, it's a lot like
let's relax, ladies. We don't need all of that. I
gotta tell you. I went in being like, hey, my
girlfriend's getting married. She wants me to come to the
bachelorette party.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
I'm down.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
I'm always up, up for a good time, and you
are getting time on those well that's very sweet. But
again it's like I'm just along for the ride.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
This guest list is like I'm going to be in
the background, just observing whatever's going on here.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
I got to tell you.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
The second I land there and I get into this
incredible hotel, the che beautiful from the outside. My god,
I thought that I had like like princess diaries. It
was like so gorgeous, and we all so again I
go and being like again, a lot of women, it's
a lot is this going to be too much? I
(22:32):
left being like, why don't we have more girlfriends and
why don't we take trips like this? I had the
greatest time. Literally, it was so much fun. We stay together,
which is like a big deal. So it wasn't like
people were in separate hotel rooms, like we were all
in the same like area together.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
You were in a giant room area.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Yeah, it was like an apartment thing or whatever. So
Toby Gonzalez and I were roommates, which already what a goal.
She would be so much fun. But like everyone roomed up.
There was a couple of people that didn't stay, but
like of whatever. However, many girls there was like fourteen
and supping girls were like grown women.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Women.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
There was like maybe a couple that didn't stay. But anyways,
so so much fun. The dinners, just the spectacle, the whole,
like paparazzi and all of that is like not something
that I'm familiar with.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
So I was camble and connected. I would have been like,
no pictures, please, thank you God, please. You know they
were taking them of me exactly, They're not taking them
of me.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
There was one point where we were all on a
boat and like the PAPARAZZI like for people like, you know.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
You were so cute elementing around. I was like, that's
my girl.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Well, a lot of them had to go below because
it was like getting crazy with pictures.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Not me. No one gets a shit that I'm there.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
So I said to Elena, Lauren's sister, I was like,
we're staying out here, We're dancing. I was like, we
are on like this amazing boat. Yeah, hifel powers right here.
So we had so much fun. But yeah, oh my
there nights ended up with us all in matching robes
and like singing karaoke and like it was awesome. We
honestly we had such a good time and I left
(24:06):
there being like I should do trips like this more often.
I don't have that many girlfriends like you and I Mary,
so we could go on your Bachelor are not without
a couple of in rights that would come.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Here's the problem. I don't have that many girlfriends. For
the matter, the ones you have, we would have a
fire time.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Yeah, it was a lot of fun, I got to
say though, and again Lauren's like an amazing host, but
like there was just there was a swag bag courtesy
of Chris and Kim that I really appreciate. I was like,
this is I was like, I felt bad. Toby and
I were in charge of planning something. We had karaoke.
Meanwhile the other ones are giving out. It was like
it was so much fun. I mean, but we had
(24:48):
karaoke and an astrologer as our thing. The other women
are like giving out these like incredible gifts. And I
looked at Toby. I was like, well, we're going to
provide the entertainment. If nothing else, we will make sure
that everyone has a good time. But yeah, it was
very fun.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
It's good. And then what else has been going on?
What else has been going on on the rand? I'm
still here.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
I'm trying to maximize as much time as I possibly
can here because I'm not here for the entire month
of June, which I already have extrain and guilt about.
I know you feel like that with Maclin. You're like
working and you're like, I have mom guilt. I have
mom guilt where I'm like, I'm not going to be
with my animals, so I can only imagine what it's
like with your child. But yeah, I'm not going to
(25:30):
because we're traveling. I got the Belmont Steaks speak. There's
a horse right behind your head, girl, Belmont Steaks coming up.
So I'm going to do that next weekend, which I'm
excited about. You know, I love comforting around the Belmont Steaks.
Talk to me about American sports. It's just well because
unfortunately there's not a triple Crown contender, which always sucks.
But again, it's still a triple Crown race. There's a
(25:52):
lot of I'm going to do a feature on journalism.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
What are the horses? That is this whole?
Speaker 2 (25:57):
I mean, look, I look at my horse and eat Oz.
I love you, but I'm like, we gotta get you
going here. You're nowhere near thoroughbread status, buddy. These horses
are so bad. Incent machines and anyone that says that
they're not athletes, I'm like, are you insane?
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Look at these horses. They're so beautiful.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
So I'm just kind of geeked out to go and
like see these animals. And then I like going around
the stalls. I like talking to the trainers, like getting tipped,
like I'm gonna all of a sudden become like a
jockey and race Oz like that around here.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
But that's good.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
The ranch is perfect, like it's like the perfect time
and here where it's I saw a rattlesnake. Though yesterday
I know you would not like this, and you the
only thing anyone that likes those Eric shanks. We actually
went back and good on our rattlesnakes. Because there's three
kinds of snakes that you see out here, a gardener snake,
(26:51):
a gopher snake, and a rattlesnake. Don't kill the gardener
or the gopher snakes you want them because the garfer
snakes will go off to the gophers. Gardener snakes are harmless.
Rattlesnakes like because they can kill you. If I came up,
I went to go, like, hose down Larry the pig
because it's starting to get a little hot.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
This was last summer, those Larry the Pig.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
I'm peeing my pants with ken Jong and you're hosing
down Larry the Pig.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
I mean, look at us, and then you're kinds of
snooze in parents. Yeah, not for me. What I went
to dow just a simple goal. Stars are just like us.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
The rattlesnake was coiled up like it was like this,
and the head was up and I went to open
the gate and I just looked down and I was
like like, because then they're in striking boat, Like that
thing could have just went and killed me. I'm also
in the middle of nowhere, so if that thing bites me,
I'm fucked.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Like I'm dead.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Yeah, exactly exactly. So you have to like get it air,
you have to be airlifted. It's a whole thing. So
when I saw one yesterday, I was like, slowly back away,
slowly back away, and.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
I just let it go.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
I was like, eh, because it was kind of out
in the middle of nowhere. I was feeding I have
another dog I haven't.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Talked to you about.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Oh my god, sweet neighbor who lives on like a
different property, a couple like miles away. She passed away
really suddenly, and she had before she passed away, she
told me like, if I you know, I'm not going
to come back, and can you can you be Lollipop's mom?
I mean, talk about crying. So a dog, another great Pyrenees,
those big white ones. There's a reason that there's like
(28:28):
a ton of them up here is because they're ranch
dogs and they protect your chickens and all the other stuff. Anyways,
but this dog doesn't want to come with me because
it like lives there. So every time I go down there,
it's like timid. It won't let me pet it whatever.
So I'm just slowly but surely like reminding it. I'm like,
I'm your mother. Uh but yeah, that was where the
Rattlesnake was. You know, I'm just out here. You're out
(28:51):
in London. I'm out on the ranch. Different kinds of
problems and situations present themselves, but here we are.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
I love so happy to see you. I really miss you.
Oh god, I know I really miss you. I miss
our group, I miss everything. Hey, shaking of this and
I think it's there's so many things in my fifteen
hour day.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
I was just thinking about with this. I know we
were texting about it.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Shout out to our girl Taylor Swift forgetting her music MACS.
I was thinking about it, and I know rad I
texted about it, but I was thinking about it more
and more, and like, look, we don't know the inside
story about like what it was like for her trying
to recreate the music. Obviously have heard about it, but
I when you think about the message that you never
(29:37):
want her to go through that and what it the
battle that was, but the message that that sent out
to women, like don't give up, go after what's yours,
like if.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
I just really like was thinking about that so much
last night when that news hit about she didn't give up.
She showed people like I will get it back. It
has a way of working itself out. I just think
that's so powerful. And at the time when it was
all happening, I wonder if she even thought that that
was what was the message that was out there.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
You know what I mean, Yeah, this is not the same,
But all I could think about in that moment of like,
how would I feel if something that was mine was
taken away from me without the opportunity to even have it.
Was going through a divorce and when she tries to
take things that are not theirs and legally you have
(30:29):
to hand it over or you have to do things
or give money, and you're like, it's not yours, it's
not yours.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
I worked so hard for this exactly, And essentially that's
kind of what she went through, was a divorce from
her manager and then yeah, she lost it with hers.
It's such a powerful message about it is with it.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
And so to get that back, like I would feel
the same way, and I can't imagine too, Like you know,
mine was a monetary situation, but like when you think
about this with music, like that's your heart and soul
and blood, and that's your experiences and then for somebody
else to just own that is so like it feels like,
I don't know, probably feels like you've been robbed, right,
(31:12):
or a number of different feelings in terms of like
something personal to you and how somebody else gets to.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Say it's theirs.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
But yeah, anyone that knows us knows how.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Much we love and care about that Gal. So happy
for her that she has that back, So happy for her.
