Speaker 1 (00:00):
I can't calm down after seeing that pick how was
meeting t Swift Calm down with Erin and Carissa is
a production of iHeartRadio. You look gorgeous and I know
you weren't even trying, And the fact that it just
comes this effortlessly, I just thought it was something I
(00:21):
going to tell you. I pick a ball update for
the big show. Oh my gosh, welcome everybody to the pregame.
Aaron's being very kind as the only reason I would
create showered is because I was out ranch and earlier.
And let me tell you there's something about and again
where however many years I am being here almost three years,
I used to not like I didn't want to be
(00:41):
dirty because it was like, you know, it's like obsessively
shower or anything like that. But now I will do
things like if I'm like, oh, there's a mouse like
that's dead in the barn because the cats have got it,
I just go over and I grab like a little
like paper towel thing and I pick it up and
throw it away. Like I do shit now that I
would have never done, because now I'm like whatever I'm
like used to just like dealing with like I don't
(01:03):
know woodsy outdoor stuff, and so I was cleaning up
this area. Update on Lollie later. This is a real
big thing here in the as you like to say.
I had to stop Jarrett, come sit down and listen.
He's very I'm very into his story. So sweet. In
the Canary Thompson Ranch household. The updates on Lollie, Steve
(01:25):
got in. Well, we'll save it for the big show. Okay,
lots to talk about. Write it down, you're better. I
don't have a note pad, I never have an o pet.
You're talking about all these things you didn't think you'd
ever do. It's like wipe in my kids for your
end after a massive load where we're like and now
it's like Jared's the other day. I think I'm getting
pretty good at this bully too. I should hope so.
(01:46):
But it's true. You just like all of a sudden,
you do these things that you never would have thought
you did it. Anyways, I was a hot mess. I
took a quick shower and I threw on my five
dollars dress. But you're very sweet, thank you. So Kim,
all right, pre games shall we do? Let's do it? Okay?
Johnson twenty eight ninety eight. Would either of you guys
want to cover an NFL game internationally? CHRISA got to
(02:07):
do one in my place. I did when my host
whole crew fell in love with our shock well that
your whole crew is amazing, I dad. I was lucky
enough to fill in for Aaron when she was doing
baseball and the NFL, and so you and Joe Buck
used to leave and go do it was play. I
(02:29):
was obviously like, was it what was it like NLCS
or something? Yeah, world, all of the things right. So yeah,
it was the Lions Falcons in London and it came
down to the very very end and it looked like
it was a foregone conclusion that the Falcons were going
to win, and Arthur Blanks on the sideline and everyone's like, oh,
congrats we won, and all of a sudden last second
(02:51):
Detroit ends up winning and it was like a whole thing.
But we had so much fun. Not to say this
because obviously it was your crew, but we went to
the symphony, did all of these things because I was like, guys,
we're in London, like, let's have some fun, do something different.
We went to a pub, we did all the like
London things and it was great. But yeah, that was
my one and only time I got to cover game internationally.
My producer, Richie Zions, who's been doing this forever. Not
(03:14):
to date him, but he just has. And he was
saying to me before you came on the crew, he
was like, hey, if you could just give Chris a
little bit of a rundown how we do things, and
so I was like okay, and I was thinking, listen,
very structured. They have their ways. I get back to
the crew after you do London, and Z goes chrisa
she just comes to London with all these bags and
(03:36):
so many hats, a hat for every outfit. They loved you.
Everybody talks to this day how Z had a beer
with you? Like he was just like having a beer.
We went to hair, I went to Herod's and I
was like, oh, I was like buying all these things
over there. Like I was like, all of a sudden,
Kate Middleton and I was like, guys, we have to
dress up, we have to do these things. Anyways, London
(03:56):
was great, but are you guys schedule? Like no, you
don't know. I don't think so because I think as
of now, all those games are on NFL Network, so
I would love to do one. The only thing I'm
not interested in is the recovery time back. But it
would be a lot of fun. I okay, I hope
we get to do one. Do you have a like
(04:17):
if you got to do one, do you have a
place that you know you'd want to do it at.
There's Brazil, there's Germany, there's London. There's gonna be Australia.
For Christ's sake, I'll go to Australia. I will hate
that flight. The Germany one. I remember Tom's talked about it.
I think they played in Germany and they said it
was great. I don't care. Yeah, just something I do care.
(04:37):
Who am I fooling? I'm a real snob when it
comes to traveling. Is Hawaiian option? I don't know, Ryan
season Ryan? This is some uh the sammondy Rush. Okay,
I'm so sorry Sam and Dy Rush. How to live
with roommates who are obnoxiously loud, so messy and don't
(04:57):
do a thing. Oh this is really college hard. Yeah,
this is tough. What was your college situation like, because
I feel like I'll set up mine. I was in
the I transferred to UCSB. So I was almost twenty
one years old living in the dorm and I said, oh,
hell no. The girl I lived with cook all of this,
(05:18):
like food that was very fragrant, filled of like onions
and like all this stuff, and in a dormitory. I'm like,
and I feel like I'm a German shepherd, like I
could work at TSA, Like my nose is very daisy,
and I have a lot in common. I can sniff
out anything, and I just I hated that smell. So
I ended up moving in with girls that I worked
(05:39):
at the local bar at obviously, and there was four
of us. Yeah, luckily they were all pretty clean. I
haven't had any terrible roommate experiences because I'm just thinking
about like even after college, like everyone I lived with
was fairly clean. So if I was this individual, I
would just be like, hey, these are the rules, Like
either you guys rotate like so and so cleans Monday, Wednesday, Friday,
(06:02):
and the other people do Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, like set
up a schedule of like cleaning, because then you set expectations.
Because I'm not into then all of a sudden, the
onus is on you to have to do everything that's
not good. I lived in the dorm for a bit
and then things got so squirrely I ended up having
to move into the sorority house. I had a roommate
(06:23):
that did some choice things, but one of the ones
that I could speak about publicly was I had Mono
and Strap. Maybe that was I don't know, maybe it
felt like Strap because I had Mono. You know the
pike hows my man? No, I'm kidding. I think it
was just going nose from making out with you. No.
I think I put my mouth on an ice luge
(06:44):
after a Gator game and that's how I got it
like relaxed. I wasn't dating anyone my freshman year. I
was awkward and weird and trying to figure it out.
Definitely the ice luge out a fraternity. I got Mono,
my dad, he is such a college thing. By the way,
it's pink eye. I got pink eye a lot, which
just grows. And I know what Pinku's all about. But
(07:05):
I swear I wasn't doing anything AnyWho keep it moving.
So right after she started the story by saying things
got squirrely, so girly, what does that mean? I was
really sick. I had a fever, I was losing weight.
My dad's like, all right, come on, we're going home.
So we went home and my dad's like, hey, I
(07:27):
think it'd be a good idea. My roommate was out
of town to write her a note and say, hey,
I went home, I'm really sick, just to heads up.
If you start feeling bad, go get checked out instead.
I come back and she's like, hey, I was using
your makeup. I hope you were okay with I had
hellano what or pink eye? That mascara she should not
(07:52):
we know why. I was like where I was getting
it from? Yeah? And then after that, my dad's like,
we got to get you out of here. And I
begged the Authority house and I moved in and it
was great. William the guy that made incredible meals for us.
Shout out to William. I had like four rolls a
day and literally four rolls on my stomach. Got that
freshman by fifteen and enjoyed it. Friday breakfast for dinner
(08:13):
at the Zeta House, you know, the one perfect great
Frank shows. I have seven slices. Oh I got my
freshman fifteen was when I worked at Cheesecake Factory and
Starbucks because they get rid of all the food at
the end of the day. I'm like, we all take
it all scones, and we've got the white chocolate raspberry trouble.
I was like, my white jeans were hard to buck
buckle up this button. So funny how people talk about
(08:37):
freshman fifteen. You're like, no way, and you're like everybody
comes back from Christmas and you're like, yes way, oh,
yes way. I was gonna say some people pull up
the pictures because those were the fuck. I also love
when I'll put well up the picture and I'm like, oh,
this is this is me, but whatever, and I gained
like thirty pounds or twenty pounds and someone's like, no way,
and then they look They're like, oh yeah, the proof
(08:58):
is in the picture and the pudding in my or cheesecake.
So simone, d rush, I would just say communication, okay,
because you should not be left to clean up all
the things and or get pink eye. Nick I was
thinking of also Bridesmaids too, when Kristen Wigg had the
weird brother and and she's got the infected tattoo and
she puts the frozen peas all over her back and
(09:20):
she's like, no, oh no, have you seen your sister's back? Tough?
So good movie? Who was that actor? Who's the actress?
Because this is why I don't work in entertainment anymore,
because I can't remember any the sister. She's you know,
she's lost anyway, a lot of weight, and she was
in picture pitch perfect. Yes, she's never Actually she's a
(09:44):
big Rams fan. Oh yeah, Rebel Wilson, Well Wilson, she's great.
Good Okay, Anonymous, don't be anonymous, get on out there, single,
forty four years old with three girls, scared to date. Help,
(10:08):
don't you don't need it? Oh no, Lady Gaga would say,
I'm off the deep end, jump right in go absolutely
Oh good for and you know what, you know what
I like about this too. So my sister, I can
only base this, you know, my opinions off of experience,
not that I've lived. But my sister had a nine
month old My niece was only nine months old, and
(10:28):
she was getting a divorce because her husband loser cheated
on her and she found out with somebody that they
work with. Okay, and then my sister continued to work
there as I've mentioned before on this podcast she's a
better person than I am with that. But she was
so afraid to date again because she had a kid,
and she's like, Oh, they won't like me the kid.
I'm like, girl, I was like, there is a whole
contingent of people who would gladly step into the shoes
(10:51):
and be like, Oh, I already get like a built
in family. I mean, I wouldn't look at this as
a negative. I would look at this as a positive
that the guy out there that you want to be
with is thinking to himself, I hope I meet someone
that has children. I hope I meet someone like this
is a great opportunity for you to find a guy
that not only loves you, but loves your girls. I know,
don't be afraid to date. And as somebody who was
(11:13):
reluctant to get a divorce even though I couldn't wait
to get one because I didn't want to have to
go date again, Yeah, what are you afraid of? Like,
the worst thing you could do, in my opinion, is
just live in fear of something and then never know
what could be on the other side of it, as
opposed to putting yourself out there and then you find
an incredible guy who you know. You're like, oh my god,
(11:34):
thank god. I took a risk. So don't be afraid.
I would say, wear it with a badge of honor,
that like, this is my life, these are my girls,
and you should be so lucky to be a part
of our clan. You're allowed to have happiness as well.
Don't be scared yet. It's scary as hell. But what
isn't right? My god? Yeah, jump in, just go treat you.
(11:58):
I love that. Do it. I don't know what's happening.
She made a coffee before she got on here and
I like it. Anonymous, put yourself out there, don't hide.
Hey j hoff nine, we need a facial Uh we
need a facial procedures update from Aaron on BBL. How
(12:19):
was it and worth it? And for anyone that doesn't know,
BBL is not the ass procedure which I thought would becoming.
She did a sideline near you at all? No, don't
worry at all. No, it is not the Brazilian butt
lift procedure. It is the face procedure. So update aj
hoff nine. It was good. I had to look it
(12:42):
up to see again what it did. It helps proof skin.
How that's not good. I know. Really I did it
for pigmentation, which kind of bombed. I was thinking about
this today as I was on the pickleball court. I
love you. Uh, you know a lot outdoors out activities
out here. But yeah, it's supposed to help with pigmentation.
(13:03):
I'd love to do it again before this season, but
I think they who are they? The dermatologists tell you
should stay out of the sun, and that's just not happening.
I'm going to be in the scene now from now
till February. It's like when they say don't do lasers,
because then it's like if you have any kind of tank,
because that doesn't the laser like gravitate towards the pigment.
(13:24):
Oh did your I thought when you did it it
like scabed, not scab but it got like a little
rough right again, it's kind of coffee fid dish. Yep.
I probably need to go for another one, but it's
too late. I don't really, I don't think I have
the job for this. Uh maybe I do it right
when the season ends, but then when the season ends,
(13:45):
you and I want to go somewhere. So that's I
know for me. Either I'm going to tell you where
I'm going. I've been putting up for the last two years.
I want to tighten this face. No, I'm not getting
a face flip, but I do. I want to, Like,
I don't know what it is yet, and I'm gonna,
for the first time in my life, weird do some
real research on what I want. Like I need the
Lindsay lowhand. But like she swears she didn't get a facelift, Fine,
(14:08):
she didn't. Whatever she did, she looks great. I just
need a little tightening. And I don't know what that is.
So is it aggressive lasers? Is it whatever? So postseason
I'm doing that. Hey, I get a question for any
listeners out there. You guys have a lot of questions
for us, which we love. I've been seeing a lot
on my algorithm about it. Excuse me if this sounds
(14:30):
like I choked bluff, bluff and bluff or bluff. Yeah,
apparently everybody's doing it. It's to get rid of that
skin that hangs over. How much does that hurt? I
have a friend who did it, and she said it
didn't hurt at all, And it's just like, maybe we'll
add that's maybe that I'll I'll do that as well.
I mean throw it in the cart, add to cart,
(14:51):
check out later. It just gets rid of the excess
skin and where it's like kind of hangs over. I remember,
I don't think you need it. I hated situation I
did do Yeah, yeah, I know, I know, I go.
I did this thing today called the Immortal Machine, and
it was like like a fold laid down like infrared.
(15:13):
It was supposed to be some journey. I wore this
oxygen thing. You did this today before and after pickleball. Please,
I've been cleaning out a barn. Sounds better than mine,
and it's supposed to really take you on a journey.
I chose the relaxation journey. My elbows were hurting though,
because it's like a really hard board and so my
bony elbows. I'm like, I'm not relaxing my elbows. It
(15:35):
was interesting, though, I'm I was interested. Okay. There was
like music and vibrations and red light all over my
entire body. I'm into get you get like like or
a bathing suit or something. Workout close, Okay, workout close, Okay,
got it. That sounds nice. I actually really do infrared
(15:58):
more often. I don't do that. It was interesting. Interesting.
You know what I would do. I'll buy the infrared mask.
I'll buy all the shit and then I know you
use it, so that's really good. Instead, I'm like, I
need a surgeon. I need it yer HBC. It's me.
I need organizational help. Any ideas on closet organizing. I
(16:19):
will leave this up to you because I can't do
that purging. So my favorite things to do. I hired
someone one time and it was very helpful, but I
now know the exactly I know the techniques. And get
yourself to the container store or the or TJ Max
or find some cheap tupperware stuff for organization, I do
(16:41):
this start with the whole rule of going through your closet,
like if you haven't worn something in the last few months,
get rid of it. And I don't mean seasonal, like
there's going to obviously be your tanktops and stuff like
that you're not gonna wear in the winter. But I
would organize your closet and just don't be afraid to
throw stuff out. Then you can donate the clothes, give
them to friends, whatever, people that eat it. But getting
rid of the stuff in your closet and don't fool
(17:03):
yourself like you're like, oh, but I might wear it
to this way. That's what I do. You don't listen
to yourn no and invite a friend over. I would say,
bring a friend over when you're organizing se in the city, yay, nay,
when she comes out exactly and holds the little signs up,
because you're not going to be realistic with yourself and
your friend is going to be like, that's hideous. Why
(17:24):
do you even have that in your closet anyway? So like,
just invite a friend over, get rid of a lot
of stuff, and then make sure organizing for me at least,
is all about having the right little dividers in my things.
So like for your underwear, for your bras, for your socks,
all that kind of stuff is if you just start
throwing them in drawers without any organization, then it feels
like it's still chaotic, and each drawer should have like, okay,
(17:45):
your workout clothes. Also, I organize my workout clothes by colors,
so it's like I wear a lot of black workout stuff,
so it's like I have those sectioned off of different things,
like don't mix the colors in so by color, certain
type of clothes, and yeah, I love organizing. I'm about
to I should do it right before the season two
because then I feel like I need to where Okay, well,
(18:08):
fine me over. Well, okay, see Bob at ninety two.
What is your most prized possession that you won't ever
get rid of? Well, this is obviously doesn't include our animals,
our significant others, our children. Okay, so those things we're
not getting rid of. Ever my most prized possession, that's
like a question I'm trying to think. I've tried to
(18:28):
get ever since I was robbed. I've tried to not
attach meaning to stuff because at the end of the day,
it's just stuff. But I do have and thank God,
when I got robbed, I have this weird thing in
the back of my head. So in my closet I
had this jewelry thing and it was locked, and they
(18:49):
ripped it out of the wall, and they stole a
bunch of stuff at watch and jewelry and stuff like that.
But I always in the back of my mind had
this thing of like, if I ever got robbed one day,
I wouldn't want all of my shit in one place.
I hid jewelry I hit watches, I hit rings, like
all of these different things like throughout my house anyways,
And so when I got robbed, I was like, oh
my god, chuck underneath my makeup brushes. That's where I
(19:10):
had hid my watch and some of my jewelry, And
what's going there? Exactly? Kids who steal it, you know.
But seriously, no one stole my makeup rushes. You know.
They stole my makeup bag. So it's like there's some
stuff anyways. So now that I think about it, and
I think about a prize possession, I have my great
grandmother's wedding rings that my mom had given to me,
and I would have been really sad if those got
(19:32):
stolen because you can't replicate that, you know. So I
would say, jewelry that belonged to my ancestors is what
my pression is that So I'm trying to think what
I have. I think, like you on that, like your
wedding ring, for example, is gorgeous, like obviously is sentimental.
(19:54):
I'm kidding, it's in the red locker. Yeah, I would
just say anything that you can't replicate would be mine.
But that's my father likes to say. There's no luggage
rack on a hurst. He goes, you can't take this
shit with you, and I go, okay, Dad, But like
some stuff does matter, you know. He always says weird
(20:15):
stuff like that. Oh my god, I know this. This me
bid no, no, this is me anonymous. I have a
friend I only get to see a few times a year.
Let's call her Alex. I was planning a trip for
us and we ended up discussing it in front of
one of our one of her friends. Oh boy, let's
call her Brie. Well, Bree totally ended up inviting herself
(20:36):
onto this trip I was planning without even asking. I
like Brie because she's a friend of her friend, and
I don't want to be mean, but I'd prefer if
she didn't come so I could get one on one
time with Alex, who I don't get to see often.
What do I do? I would bug me? Oh, this
is tough, This is really tough. Damn it. Who ended
(21:02):
up discussing this in front of one of her friends,
who ended up discussing this, but also ended up discussing it.
Who's Bree, Brie? Why are you inviting yourself? I don't
the balls that some people have on things to be like, oh,
I'll just be jumping along on that, Like I would
be so embarrassed. I mean, half the time we're like
(21:23):
we are invited, We're like no, no, no, we don't
want to go. We're like, wait, no, you're invite wanting
like you're supposed to be here right exactly, but you're
gonna be like no no, Kevin Hart voice, Brie, you
got a lot of nerve. I don't know what you're
doing over there, but I would say this, I'd say,
you have to go. It is what it is now
at this point, like you're you have to say something
(21:44):
to Alex, like who the hell are you? Brie? Sorry,
but I gotta be honest, like, Okay, this is all
your time alone. Probably not I call you and complain
about it, but you're Alex. I would say it is
what it is now. They're going on the trip. However,
I would be very vocal about the fact that Alex,
you and I need someone on one time. This is
(22:04):
why I wanted to go on the trip because I
want to spend time with you and then my spot.
I would just say it out loud in front of
me because she seems very nosy and going to insert
herself into a lot of things. I'd say, Hey, Alex
and I are going to the SPA and we're spending
some quality one on one time together, and that's the
end of it. You just need to say it, and
you don't have to be rude, but you also can
be like, I don't want my whole vacation to be
ruined because this girl invited herself, So just carve out
(22:29):
someone on one time with her within the group. VAK no.
Speaking of VAK, Hey, all right, we've got one more question.
Here we go. Guys. For those of you calm down listeners,
we know you're gonna ask it. Jenny already thirteen is
the lucky winner we drew out of a hat. I
can't calm down after seeing that pick how was meeting
(22:53):
t Swift? How when all right, I was just saying
how she said it? Ah, how Max says it? Do
you want to start? Go ahead? Love you. I will
say this as she's everything that I'd ever hoped and
dreamed that she could have been and more. For those
(23:13):
of you that have listened to this podcast for the
five years we've had it, you know our great affinity
for Taylor and this was pre Travis. We obviously went
on this podcast and advocated for her to give him
a chance that clearly worked out, and they are so
happy and adorable and all things adorable. So when the
(23:34):
opportunity came about for all of us to spend time
together and go on vacation, we were elated to not
just you know, to have like time with them, but
also just in general, like I don't know, like see
what she was all about. She's everything and more. Their
lives are so public, so it was very important for
Aaron and I not to say anything, not because we
(23:54):
don't like to share stuff with you, but it's it's
important for us to let them dictate the arrative on
things they do in their personal life. So that's my thing.
I'm not going to elaborate too much on it other
than saying she's a dream and I adore her and
I'm so happy that they make each other happy. You
said this a couple of weeks ago about her, and
(24:16):
I think I don't think we feel this way about
the both of them. We're so protective of them and
their privacy and what they deserve. So that's why we
never said anything or never planned on saying anything. So
with that, you know, Travis, I'd really like some privacy.
I mean, how dare you put that? Well? I mean
no photo approval on this end, and what the hell?
(24:36):
A man, no joke. That's one of my favorite photos
from the trip we all took together. And yeah, I'll
echo it. She's a twenty out of twenty and she
just is. She is so much fun. And I will
say this, our group, the six of us, we have
wow a time. Yeah, a good, good group. So yeah,
(25:01):
we love them, we are happy for them, and now
we are happy to report back that yes, the long
awaited meeting did in fact happen, and it exceeded expectations
because she is as advertised and a whole lot more.
All right, join us, give it any other girl on
You Know It Up? What are Gallant and her mate
(25:21):
on the big show? We got lots to discuss, including
Steve's AI photos. What What Calm Down? With Erin and
Carissa is a production of iHeartRadio. For more podcasts from iHeartRadio,
visit the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get
your podcasts.
I can't calm down after seeing that pick how was
meeting t Swift Calm down with Erin and Carissa is
a production of iHeartRadio. You look gorgeous and I know
you weren't even trying, And the fact that it just
comes this effortlessly, I just thought it was something I
(00:21):
going to tell you. I pick a ball update for
the big show. Oh my gosh, welcome everybody to the pregame.
Aaron's being very kind as the only reason I would
create showered is because I was out ranch and earlier.
And let me tell you there's something about and again
where however many years I am being here almost three years,
I used to not like I didn't want to be
(00:41):
dirty because it was like, you know, it's like obsessively
shower or anything like that. But now I will do
things like if I'm like, oh, there's a mouse like
that's dead in the barn because the cats have got it,
I just go over and I grab like a little
like paper towel thing and I pick it up and
throw it away. Like I do shit now that I
would have never done, because now I'm like whatever I'm
like used to just like dealing with like I don't
(01:03):
know woodsy outdoor stuff, and so I was cleaning up
this area. Update on Lollie later. This is a real
big thing here in the as you like to say.
I had to stop Jarrett, come sit down and listen.
He's very I'm very into his story. So sweet. In
the Canary Thompson Ranch household. The updates on Lollie, Steve
(01:25):
got in. Well, we'll save it for the big show. Okay,
lots to talk about. Write it down, you're better. I
don't have a note pad, I never have an o pet.
You're talking about all these things you didn't think you'd
ever do. It's like wipe in my kids for your
end after a massive load where we're like and now
it's like Jared's the other day. I think I'm getting
pretty good at this bully too. I should hope so.
(01:46):
But it's true. You just like all of a sudden,
you do these things that you never would have thought
you did it. Anyways, I was a hot mess. I
took a quick shower and I threw on my five
dollars dress. But you're very sweet, thank you. So Kim,
all right, pre games shall we do? Let's do it? Okay?
Johnson twenty eight ninety eight. Would either of you guys
want to cover an NFL game internationally? CHRISA got to
(02:07):
do one in my place. I did when my host
whole crew fell in love with our shock well that
your whole crew is amazing, I dad. I was lucky
enough to fill in for Aaron when she was doing
baseball and the NFL, and so you and Joe Buck
used to leave and go do it was play. I
(02:29):
was obviously like, was it what was it like NLCS
or something? Yeah, world, all of the things right. So yeah,
it was the Lions Falcons in London and it came
down to the very very end and it looked like
it was a foregone conclusion that the Falcons were going
to win, and Arthur Blanks on the sideline and everyone's like, oh,
congrats we won, and all of a sudden last second
(02:51):
Detroit ends up winning and it was like a whole thing.
But we had so much fun. Not to say this
because obviously it was your crew, but we went to
the symphony, did all of these things because I was like, guys,
we're in London, like, let's have some fun, do something different.
We went to a pub, we did all the like
London things and it was great. But yeah, that was
my one and only time I got to cover game internationally.
My producer, Richie Zions, who's been doing this forever. Not
(03:14):
to date him, but he just has. And he was
saying to me before you came on the crew, he
was like, hey, if you could just give Chris a
little bit of a rundown how we do things, and
so I was like okay, and I was thinking, listen,
very structured. They have their ways. I get back to
the crew after you do London, and Z goes chrisa
she just comes to London with all these bags and
(03:36):
so many hats, a hat for every outfit. They loved you.
Everybody talks to this day how Z had a beer
with you? Like he was just like having a beer.
We went to hair, I went to Herod's and I
was like, oh, I was like buying all these things
over there. Like I was like, all of a sudden,
Kate Middleton and I was like, guys, we have to
dress up, we have to do these things. Anyways, London
(03:56):
was great, but are you guys schedule? Like no, you
don't know. I don't think so because I think as
of now, all those games are on NFL Network, so
I would love to do one. The only thing I'm
not interested in is the recovery time back. But it
would be a lot of fun. I okay, I hope
we get to do one. Do you have a like
(04:17):
if you got to do one, do you have a
place that you know you'd want to do it at.
There's Brazil, there's Germany, there's London. There's gonna be Australia.
For Christ's sake, I'll go to Australia. I will hate
that flight. The Germany one. I remember Tom's talked about it.
I think they played in Germany and they said it
was great. I don't care. Yeah, just something I do care.
(04:37):
Who am I fooling? I'm a real snob when it
comes to traveling. Is Hawaiian option? I don't know, Ryan
season Ryan? This is some uh the sammondy Rush. Okay,
I'm so sorry Sam and Dy Rush. How to live
with roommates who are obnoxiously loud, so messy and don't
(04:57):
do a thing. Oh this is really college hard. Yeah,
this is tough. What was your college situation like, because
I feel like I'll set up mine. I was in
the I transferred to UCSB. So I was almost twenty
one years old living in the dorm and I said, oh,
hell no. The girl I lived with cook all of this,
(05:18):
like food that was very fragrant, filled of like onions
and like all this stuff, and in a dormitory. I'm like,
and I feel like I'm a German shepherd, like I
could work at TSA, Like my nose is very daisy,
and I have a lot in common. I can sniff
out anything, and I just I hated that smell. So
I ended up moving in with girls that I worked
(05:39):
at the local bar at obviously, and there was four
of us. Yeah, luckily they were all pretty clean. I
haven't had any terrible roommate experiences because I'm just thinking
about like even after college, like everyone I lived with
was fairly clean. So if I was this individual, I
would just be like, hey, these are the rules, Like
either you guys rotate like so and so cleans Monday, Wednesday, Friday,
(06:02):
and the other people do Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, like set
up a schedule of like cleaning, because then you set expectations.
Because I'm not into then all of a sudden, the
onus is on you to have to do everything that's
not good. I lived in the dorm for a bit
and then things got so squirrely I ended up having
to move into the sorority house. I had a roommate
(06:23):
that did some choice things, but one of the ones
that I could speak about publicly was I had Mono
and Strap. Maybe that was I don't know, maybe it
felt like Strap because I had Mono. You know the
pike hows my man? No, I'm kidding. I think it
was just going nose from making out with you. No.
I think I put my mouth on an ice luge
(06:44):
after a Gator game and that's how I got it
like relaxed. I wasn't dating anyone my freshman year. I
was awkward and weird and trying to figure it out.
Definitely the ice luge out a fraternity. I got Mono,
my dad, he is such a college thing. By the way,
it's pink eye. I got pink eye a lot, which
just grows. And I know what Pinku's all about. But
(07:05):
I swear I wasn't doing anything AnyWho keep it moving.
So right after she started the story by saying things
got squirrely, so girly, what does that mean? I was
really sick. I had a fever, I was losing weight.
My dad's like, all right, come on, we're going home.
So we went home and my dad's like, hey, I
(07:27):
think it'd be a good idea. My roommate was out
of town to write her a note and say, hey,
I went home, I'm really sick, just to heads up.
If you start feeling bad, go get checked out instead.
I come back and she's like, hey, I was using
your makeup. I hope you were okay with I had
hellano what or pink eye? That mascara she should not
(07:52):
we know why. I was like where I was getting
it from? Yeah? And then after that, my dad's like,
we got to get you out of here. And I
begged the Authority house and I moved in and it
was great. William the guy that made incredible meals for us.
Shout out to William. I had like four rolls a
day and literally four rolls on my stomach. Got that
freshman by fifteen and enjoyed it. Friday breakfast for dinner
(08:13):
at the Zeta House, you know, the one perfect great
Frank shows. I have seven slices. Oh I got my
freshman fifteen was when I worked at Cheesecake Factory and
Starbucks because they get rid of all the food at
the end of the day. I'm like, we all take
it all scones, and we've got the white chocolate raspberry trouble.
I was like, my white jeans were hard to buck
buckle up this button. So funny how people talk about
(08:37):
freshman fifteen. You're like, no way, and you're like everybody
comes back from Christmas and you're like, yes way, oh,
yes way. I was gonna say some people pull up
the pictures because those were the fuck. I also love
when I'll put well up the picture and I'm like, oh,
this is this is me, but whatever, and I gained
like thirty pounds or twenty pounds and someone's like, no way,
and then they look They're like, oh yeah, the proof
(08:58):
is in the picture and the pudding in my or cheesecake.
So simone, d rush, I would just say communication, okay,
because you should not be left to clean up all
the things and or get pink eye. Nick I was
thinking of also Bridesmaids too, when Kristen Wigg had the
weird brother and and she's got the infected tattoo and
she puts the frozen peas all over her back and
(09:20):
she's like, no, oh no, have you seen your sister's back? Tough?
So good movie? Who was that actor? Who's the actress?
Because this is why I don't work in entertainment anymore,
because I can't remember any the sister. She's you know,
she's lost anyway, a lot of weight, and she was
in picture pitch perfect. Yes, she's never Actually she's a
(09:44):
big Rams fan. Oh yeah, Rebel Wilson, Well Wilson, she's great.
Good Okay, Anonymous, don't be anonymous, get on out there, single,
forty four years old with three girls, scared to date. Help,
(10:08):
don't you don't need it? Oh no, Lady Gaga would say,
I'm off the deep end, jump right in go absolutely
Oh good for and you know what, you know what
I like about this too. So my sister, I can
only base this, you know, my opinions off of experience,
not that I've lived. But my sister had a nine
month old My niece was only nine months old, and
(10:28):
she was getting a divorce because her husband loser cheated
on her and she found out with somebody that they
work with. Okay, and then my sister continued to work
there as I've mentioned before on this podcast she's a
better person than I am with that. But she was
so afraid to date again because she had a kid,
and she's like, Oh, they won't like me the kid.
I'm like, girl, I was like, there is a whole
contingent of people who would gladly step into the shoes
(10:51):
and be like, Oh, I already get like a built
in family. I mean, I wouldn't look at this as
a negative. I would look at this as a positive
that the guy out there that you want to be
with is thinking to himself, I hope I meet someone
that has children. I hope I meet someone like this
is a great opportunity for you to find a guy
that not only loves you, but loves your girls. I know,
don't be afraid to date. And as somebody who was
(11:13):
reluctant to get a divorce even though I couldn't wait
to get one because I didn't want to have to
go date again, Yeah, what are you afraid of? Like,
the worst thing you could do, in my opinion, is
just live in fear of something and then never know
what could be on the other side of it, as
opposed to putting yourself out there and then you find
an incredible guy who you know. You're like, oh my god,
(11:34):
thank god. I took a risk. So don't be afraid.
I would say, wear it with a badge of honor,
that like, this is my life, these are my girls,
and you should be so lucky to be a part
of our clan. You're allowed to have happiness as well.
Don't be scared yet. It's scary as hell. But what
isn't right? My god? Yeah, jump in, just go treat you.
(11:58):
I love that. Do it. I don't know what's happening.
She made a coffee before she got on here and
I like it. Anonymous, put yourself out there, don't hide.
Hey j hoff nine, we need a facial Uh we
need a facial procedures update from Aaron on BBL. How
(12:19):
was it and worth it? And for anyone that doesn't know,
BBL is not the ass procedure which I thought would becoming.
She did a sideline near you at all? No, don't
worry at all. No, it is not the Brazilian butt
lift procedure. It is the face procedure. So update aj
hoff nine. It was good. I had to look it
(12:42):
up to see again what it did. It helps proof skin.
How that's not good. I know. Really I did it
for pigmentation, which kind of bombed. I was thinking about
this today as I was on the pickleball court. I
love you. Uh, you know a lot outdoors out activities
out here. But yeah, it's supposed to help with pigmentation.
(13:03):
I'd love to do it again before this season, but
I think they who are they? The dermatologists tell you
should stay out of the sun, and that's just not happening.
I'm going to be in the scene now from now
till February. It's like when they say don't do lasers,
because then it's like if you have any kind of tank,
because that doesn't the laser like gravitate towards the pigment.
(13:24):
Oh did your I thought when you did it it
like scabed, not scab but it got like a little
rough right again, it's kind of coffee fid dish. Yep.
I probably need to go for another one, but it's
too late. I don't really, I don't think I have
the job for this. Uh maybe I do it right
when the season ends, but then when the season ends,
(13:45):
you and I want to go somewhere. So that's I
know for me. Either I'm going to tell you where
I'm going. I've been putting up for the last two years.
I want to tighten this face. No, I'm not getting
a face flip, but I do. I want to, Like,
I don't know what it is yet, and I'm gonna,
for the first time in my life, weird do some
real research on what I want. Like I need the
Lindsay lowhand. But like she swears she didn't get a facelift, Fine,
(14:08):
she didn't. Whatever she did, she looks great. I just
need a little tightening. And I don't know what that is.
So is it aggressive lasers? Is it whatever? So postseason
I'm doing that. Hey, I get a question for any
listeners out there. You guys have a lot of questions
for us, which we love. I've been seeing a lot
on my algorithm about it. Excuse me if this sounds
(14:30):
like I choked bluff, bluff and bluff or bluff. Yeah,
apparently everybody's doing it. It's to get rid of that
skin that hangs over. How much does that hurt? I
have a friend who did it, and she said it
didn't hurt at all, And it's just like, maybe we'll
add that's maybe that I'll I'll do that as well.
I mean throw it in the cart, add to cart,
(14:51):
check out later. It just gets rid of the excess
skin and where it's like kind of hangs over. I remember,
I don't think you need it. I hated situation I
did do Yeah, yeah, I know, I know, I go.
I did this thing today called the Immortal Machine, and
it was like like a fold laid down like infrared.
(15:13):
It was supposed to be some journey. I wore this
oxygen thing. You did this today before and after pickleball. Please,
I've been cleaning out a barn. Sounds better than mine,
and it's supposed to really take you on a journey.
I chose the relaxation journey. My elbows were hurting though,
because it's like a really hard board and so my
bony elbows. I'm like, I'm not relaxing my elbows. It
(15:35):
was interesting, though, I'm I was interested. Okay. There was
like music and vibrations and red light all over my
entire body. I'm into get you get like like or
a bathing suit or something. Workout close, Okay, workout close, Okay,
got it. That sounds nice. I actually really do infrared
(15:58):
more often. I don't do that. It was interesting. Interesting.
You know what I would do. I'll buy the infrared mask.
I'll buy all the shit and then I know you
use it, so that's really good. Instead, I'm like, I
need a surgeon. I need it yer HBC. It's me.
I need organizational help. Any ideas on closet organizing. I
(16:19):
will leave this up to you because I can't do
that purging. So my favorite things to do. I hired
someone one time and it was very helpful, but I
now know the exactly I know the techniques. And get
yourself to the container store or the or TJ Max
or find some cheap tupperware stuff for organization, I do
(16:41):
this start with the whole rule of going through your closet,
like if you haven't worn something in the last few months,
get rid of it. And I don't mean seasonal, like
there's going to obviously be your tanktops and stuff like
that you're not gonna wear in the winter. But I
would organize your closet and just don't be afraid to
throw stuff out. Then you can donate the clothes, give
them to friends, whatever, people that eat it. But getting
rid of the stuff in your closet and don't fool
(17:03):
yourself like you're like, oh, but I might wear it
to this way. That's what I do. You don't listen
to yourn no and invite a friend over. I would say,
bring a friend over when you're organizing se in the city, yay, nay,
when she comes out exactly and holds the little signs up,
because you're not going to be realistic with yourself and
your friend is going to be like, that's hideous. Why
(17:24):
do you even have that in your closet anyway? So like,
just invite a friend over, get rid of a lot
of stuff, and then make sure organizing for me at least,
is all about having the right little dividers in my things.
So like for your underwear, for your bras, for your socks,
all that kind of stuff is if you just start
throwing them in drawers without any organization, then it feels
like it's still chaotic, and each drawer should have like, okay,
(17:45):
your workout clothes. Also, I organize my workout clothes by colors,
so it's like I wear a lot of black workout stuff,
so it's like I have those sectioned off of different things,
like don't mix the colors in so by color, certain
type of clothes, and yeah, I love organizing. I'm about
to I should do it right before the season two
because then I feel like I need to where Okay, well,
(18:08):
fine me over. Well, okay, see Bob at ninety two.
What is your most prized possession that you won't ever
get rid of? Well, this is obviously doesn't include our animals,
our significant others, our children. Okay, so those things we're
not getting rid of. Ever my most prized possession, that's
like a question I'm trying to think. I've tried to
(18:28):
get ever since I was robbed. I've tried to not
attach meaning to stuff because at the end of the day,
it's just stuff. But I do have and thank God,
when I got robbed, I have this weird thing in
the back of my head. So in my closet I
had this jewelry thing and it was locked, and they
(18:49):
ripped it out of the wall, and they stole a
bunch of stuff at watch and jewelry and stuff like that.
But I always in the back of my mind had
this thing of like, if I ever got robbed one day,
I wouldn't want all of my shit in one place.
I hid jewelry I hit watches, I hit rings, like
all of these different things like throughout my house anyways,
And so when I got robbed, I was like, oh
my god, chuck underneath my makeup brushes. That's where I
(19:10):
had hid my watch and some of my jewelry, And
what's going there? Exactly? Kids who steal it, you know.
But seriously, no one stole my makeup rushes. You know.
They stole my makeup bag. So it's like there's some
stuff anyways. So now that I think about it, and
I think about a prize possession, I have my great
grandmother's wedding rings that my mom had given to me,
and I would have been really sad if those got
(19:32):
stolen because you can't replicate that, you know. So I
would say, jewelry that belonged to my ancestors is what
my pression is that So I'm trying to think what
I have. I think, like you on that, like your
wedding ring, for example, is gorgeous, like obviously is sentimental.
(19:54):
I'm kidding, it's in the red locker. Yeah, I would
just say anything that you can't replicate would be mine.
But that's my father likes to say. There's no luggage
rack on a hurst. He goes, you can't take this
shit with you, and I go, okay, Dad, But like
some stuff does matter, you know. He always says weird
(20:15):
stuff like that. Oh my god, I know this. This me
bid no, no, this is me anonymous. I have a
friend I only get to see a few times a year.
Let's call her Alex. I was planning a trip for
us and we ended up discussing it in front of
one of our one of her friends. Oh boy, let's
call her Brie. Well, Bree totally ended up inviting herself
(20:36):
onto this trip I was planning without even asking. I
like Brie because she's a friend of her friend, and
I don't want to be mean, but I'd prefer if
she didn't come so I could get one on one
time with Alex, who I don't get to see often.
What do I do? I would bug me? Oh, this
is tough, This is really tough. Damn it. Who ended
(21:02):
up discussing this in front of one of her friends,
who ended up discussing this, but also ended up discussing it.
Who's Bree, Brie? Why are you inviting yourself? I don't
the balls that some people have on things to be like, oh,
I'll just be jumping along on that, Like I would
be so embarrassed. I mean, half the time we're like
(21:23):
we are invited, We're like no, no, no, we don't
want to go. We're like, wait, no, you're invite wanting
like you're supposed to be here right exactly, but you're
gonna be like no no, Kevin Hart voice, Brie, you
got a lot of nerve. I don't know what you're
doing over there, but I would say this, I'd say,
you have to go. It is what it is now
at this point, like you're you have to say something
(21:44):
to Alex, like who the hell are you? Brie? Sorry,
but I gotta be honest, like, Okay, this is all
your time alone. Probably not I call you and complain
about it, but you're Alex. I would say it is
what it is now. They're going on the trip. However,
I would be very vocal about the fact that Alex,
you and I need someone on one time. This is
(22:04):
why I wanted to go on the trip because I
want to spend time with you and then my spot.
I would just say it out loud in front of
me because she seems very nosy and going to insert
herself into a lot of things. I'd say, Hey, Alex
and I are going to the SPA and we're spending
some quality one on one time together, and that's the
end of it. You just need to say it, and
you don't have to be rude, but you also can
be like, I don't want my whole vacation to be
ruined because this girl invited herself, So just carve out
(22:29):
someone on one time with her within the group. VAK no.
Speaking of VAK, Hey, all right, we've got one more question.
Here we go. Guys. For those of you calm down listeners,
we know you're gonna ask it. Jenny already thirteen is
the lucky winner we drew out of a hat. I
can't calm down after seeing that pick how was meeting
(22:53):
t Swift? How when all right, I was just saying
how she said it? Ah, how Max says it? Do
you want to start? Go ahead? Love you. I will
say this as she's everything that I'd ever hoped and
dreamed that she could have been and more. For those
(23:13):
of you that have listened to this podcast for the
five years we've had it, you know our great affinity
for Taylor and this was pre Travis. We obviously went
on this podcast and advocated for her to give him
a chance that clearly worked out, and they are so
happy and adorable and all things adorable. So when the
(23:34):
opportunity came about for all of us to spend time
together and go on vacation, we were elated to not
just you know, to have like time with them, but
also just in general, like I don't know, like see
what she was all about. She's everything and more. Their
lives are so public, so it was very important for
Aaron and I not to say anything, not because we
(23:54):
don't like to share stuff with you, but it's it's
important for us to let them dictate the arrative on
things they do in their personal life. So that's my thing.
I'm not going to elaborate too much on it other
than saying she's a dream and I adore her and
I'm so happy that they make each other happy. You
said this a couple of weeks ago about her, and
(24:16):
I think I don't think we feel this way about
the both of them. We're so protective of them and
their privacy and what they deserve. So that's why we
never said anything or never planned on saying anything. So
with that, you know, Travis, I'd really like some privacy.
I mean, how dare you put that? Well? I mean
no photo approval on this end, and what the hell?
(24:36):
A man, no joke. That's one of my favorite photos
from the trip we all took together. And yeah, I'll
echo it. She's a twenty out of twenty and she
just is. She is so much fun. And I will
say this, our group, the six of us, we have
wow a time. Yeah, a good, good group. So yeah,
(25:01):
we love them, we are happy for them, and now
we are happy to report back that yes, the long
awaited meeting did in fact happen, and it exceeded expectations
because she is as advertised and a whole lot more.
All right, join us, give it any other girl on
You Know It Up? What are Gallant and her mate
(25:21):
on the big show? We got lots to discuss, including
Steve's AI photos. What What Calm Down? With Erin and
