The Big Show edition of Calm Down with Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson has Week 11 of the NFL season completely covered!

Erin is fresh off the sidelines of the Bears’ big win over the Vikings, sharing what she saw firsthand from QB Caleb Williams and head coach Ben Johnson as they powered Chicago to an impressive 7–3 start.

Meanwhile, Charissa dives into her Thursday Night Football coverage of the Patriots’ victory over the Jets, moving New England to 9–2 in the AFC under Mike Vrabel and QB Drake Maye.

The ladies get hilariously honest about jawlines, jowls, facial aging, and the beauty hacks they’re trying to keep everything in place. Plus, Erin explains why her social media algorithm has officially gone off the rails thanks to an overload of mouth and jaw exercises videos.

Expect NFL insights, behind-the-scenes broadcaster stories, and the kind of relatable beauty chaos that only Erin and Charissa can deliver.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Just these pockets at tobacco. They were on fire. They
were like miss off, like you're so student.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
So I said this last week about my jewels because
I got this whole pocket over. Now you know, I
got whatever it's called a zoot in here, whatever it's
called on or not whatever. Those what are those things
that people the packets of the tobacco zim Zaya Zi.
Calm Down with Erin and Carissa is a production of iHeartRadio.

(00:30):
You'll be proud. I don't have football on right now.
I can't and I get it, but I.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Like to see what's going on.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Yes, my gal likes to have the because we record
on Monday. She likes to have the old you know,
preview to Monday night football recap of the week on.
And then this is why I see her for those
of you that watch us on YouTube, I see the
eyes go up and do it, and I know exactly
what she's doing.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Welcome to the show, everybody.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
For those of you that are new here, Welcome for
those of you longtime loyal listeners, welcome, follow uh huh heloha.
All right, we've got to recap week eleven. The season
is flying by. My gal was in Minnesota. I was
in New England. How about those Patriots? We will get
to that and a whole lot more. Yeah, I mean

(01:18):
there's just a lot to recap, including in studio greg
Olsen came, which I what a freakin treat that was
to have him in studio, but also have a very
special reporter shout out for the.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
New England Patriots. We'll get to that later.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Aaron has an update on ninety nine to be best
show on TV.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
I got to figure out.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
I got to know, like no one's a bigger fan
than Steve of ninety nine to beat.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
He's great battle on Wednesdays.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
He is literally appointment viewing on the couch and constantly
on our text chain sending updates.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
We will get to that.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Also on our list is Jowls, So I can't wait
to talk about that and a whole lot more.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
So let's dive into it, sister, what do you got go?

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Also, I still loved your story from last week, Mikasa Soukasa.
It's the story that does an end. Don't already have
a follow up on it? And it's not Ellen, It's
not it's it's just dueling. We'll get we'll get to it.
But right, holy shit, how is week eleven come and gone?

Speaker 1 (02:15):
When we're here once we hit the holidays, she's flying.
It's over. I'll see you at the NFC Champion Chess. I.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
On our pregame, we talked about how Aaron goes and
next week Thanksgiving? I go, next week's Thanksgiving, and I
also laughed about the fact the next week's thanks Giving,
but I already put my Christmas tree up because why not?

Speaker 1 (02:32):
But yeah, I can't believe that. So all right, Week
eleven go.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
You were in Minnesota, bears, whole Minnchetta bears. Holy shit,
NFC North exciting. Oh, everything's exciting. But NFC North is exciting,
and it's it's good setup for us selfishly on Fox
along the way because we kind of are just foreshadowing
where we could be in the next couple of weeks
and what will you know, hold like huge importance and

(02:57):
stuff like that with the schedule. But yeah, it was
it was fun quick, stay in and out. Wow, cozy
cozy hotel. Shout out to Minnesota. A great meal, so
that was always fun. Game started a little bit dicey
on the Minnesota sideline, and then we got some action.
Caleb Williams, Ben Johnson, Dennis Allen. Wow, I mean, what
holy crap, They've won their won seven of their last

(03:19):
eight after starting zero to two. Yeah, yeah, it's good
for them, you know, and that hole there was all
these question marks about Ben Johnson coming over and the
maturation of Caleb Williams and all that. And again I
didn't realize this too. That was another fourth quarter comeback
or not comeback. That was because they never had a
lead change, but they had prior coming into this game.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
They had the most. They were tied with Tampa and
Denver with the most fourth quarter comeback. So I think, like.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
In watching that, at least what I took away from
it is that they've found ways to win. It's not
always pretty, it's not always whatever. Who gives a shit
because it changes your confidence level, especially I'm sure for
Caleb who's had all these question marks and constantly had
to like defend himself where it's like, you win, it's
a w in this league and every week matters. So

(04:08):
finding ways to win, restoring confidence in an organization that
has been a long time coming for them. I just
we've talked about it since the beginning of the year.
This year is so random. Like I say this respectfully,
the Carolina Panthers and the Buccaneers have the same record.
I mean, well they've the Panthers have one more loss,

(04:29):
but they have the same amount of wins. They both
have six wins. And it's like I wouldn't have said
that when the year started. I wouldn't have said that
the Bears were going to be as good as they
are cm Bridge. For those producers at Carolina Panthers game,
they are undefeated, they're four No with Rich Gross, write
that down.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Police share it gross.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
I was just going to say, Rich Gross longtime friend
and hopeful listener of the podcast, but been with Aaron
on her crew for so long. We love Grossy. But yeah,
there is just like randomness. Even watching that game last
night with the Eagles and the Lions, the Lions offense
couldn't get anything going. That Eagles defense looks good. Look,
I don't care what kind of drama they say in Philly.

(05:08):
They keep finding, you know, ways to Waitangio vic fan,
We love we love Vig Fangio. Oh what a treat
Seattle's defense, I don't care. That was a loss and
that had Sam Donald throwing four interceptions. Which is obviously
not the game that he wanted to have. But if
I'm Mike McDonald on a Monday, I'm saying, hey, you
know what if it took a field goal at the
end of the game, And yeah, we ended up losing

(05:29):
on a sixty one yarder, but we had all these
other things go wrong, were in good shape and Matthew Stafford,
by the way, fun fact, six and zero against the
Seattle Seahawks has never so fun to the Seahawks. And
it also was an anomaly because Mike McDonald and the
Seahawks are very good on the road. Coming into that game.
They were eleven and one on the road underneath him.
So I just love the NFL. Here we are. I've

(05:51):
got a good one this week, the Texans and the Bills.
So the Bills, there's you know, it's who are the
Bills they lose to Miami or we got Josh Allen
showing his MVP, you know, wighs yesterday in that way,
the Texans.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
I really hope c. J.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Stroud plays as of right now, still in flux as
we record this on a Monday, in concussion protocol. If
he doesn't play, uh, that'll be three games that he's missed,
but that defense keeping them in things.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
They've got Daniel Hunter and I just it's like on
the edge.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yeah, it's just like both that defense and I love Damiko, right,
so you go. I love the NFL.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
That's why we love it for a little much.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
But every week, week week and then even I look
at the Broncos winning and the chief in the dramatic
fashion against the Chiefs we Thursday Night football. We have
that rematch on Christmas, which I'm looking forward to because
all these games, look at the look at the Steelers
and the Bengals. It'll come down to the last few
weeks to sort of decide.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Any of that. The Ravens, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
I could go on and on. We get it, we
get it, we get it. There's a lot of question best.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
It's the best. And here we are. Tom said it
during our game, I love football.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
This is so fine, Like it is really cute, and
so does our producer Ryan, who is amazing reminding us
of the text and started, Oh, win three and now
have the same record as the Chiefs. And that was
what I was saying yesterday when we were talking about
the Ravens, is that the Ravens started one in five
and it's like one in five. We always used to
have this stat of like, oh, if you start oh
and two, you only have a ten percent chance whatever

(07:22):
making the play. These people started one in five and
they're now five and five.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
Who cares.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
It's like again the expression of it's not how you start,
it's how you finish. So yeah, it's that time they
always say, after Thanksgiving or in this case, a week
before Thanksgiving, since we're already here, things really start to
separate themselves and the Chargers losing to the Jaguars, and
I mean, like by a lot. Anyways, here we are, here,

(07:47):
we are. I loved being on your Oh wait, let's
go back to your Thursday and I came, let's do that.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
You guys were yeah, burrow so had. I was trying
to figure out if that's the code I were for
NFC Championship. But it wasn't. Wait a little bit more.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
It wasn't only because I thought about that the same way.
So here's a little backstory on yogah. You know this
about me, but maybe other people don't or care. I'm
gonna tell a story anyway I care. So I have
just decided to go about this in my own way.
I like to trust myself. I really appreciate, like I
have a stylist at you know, a Fox, and I
have a girlfriend Julie who styles us and whatever.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
I love having the skill set of stylists.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
I just know for myself on Thursday night, it's easier
because once I even get to the city, is it
as cold or is it.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Not as cold?

Speaker 2 (08:40):
And the outside house whatever. So I've decided to dress
myself for Thursday night. Shout out to shop Op Grapes.
Great stuff on shop Op too by jealous. All right,
so I get to New England. I have been warned
that is chili, but when I got there, I was like,
oh shit, is real chili. And what I've done is definitely.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
Not warm enough.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
So this is your Thursday morning. I get running outside.
Where am I running?

Speaker 1 (09:04):
I'm running to the mall.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
I'm running to go see if I can find something warmer.
End up at the mall, the Link Prudential Center, great selection.
Also the web a cheesecake factory, you know the one
cheesecake swung through there for the old Copley Square, you
know exactly. So I go in there, I'm like, all right,
war more and warm. I see this jacket puff puff puff,

(09:28):
not a puffer jacket, but it is like it is
very furry and puffy, and I love the color.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
And I was like, well, I can shit this up.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
You know the wind because in New England at Foxboro
where we sit is not our normal spot on the field.
We're in between so we don't have the fans blocking us,
so it is a wind tunnel. And I was like, Okay,
this is gonna be anyways, find this jacket. And I
thought about you when I tried it, and I was like, oh,
this kind of reminds me of her NFC Championship game,
but it didn't have the caller, so I knew it
was different. Great Moose Knuckles. Love what you've done with

(09:56):
the place because that Moose Knuckles it was.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
And but they're little.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
I don't know who's designing these things, but it's not
like a standard Moose Knuckles. It's like and I know
I got a lot of that brain from you because
you have some amazing codes by them, which you also
know they're going to be warm, warm, warm, So I
love a monogrammatic look picked out some other items. We're
on our way okay, great, what was the bottom? The
bottom was an Alison Olivia just pant and top that

(10:20):
was also in like found this, Yes, we just found
this as yeah, we're fine.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
But anyways we are. It's the Patriots, it's the Jets.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
The Patriots are, you know, their best starts since twenty nineteen,
which is Tom's last year. It was the last time
they won the division. Here they are, they beat the Jets.
They're now nine and two and cute. I don't want
to just reduce him to cute, because he is a
man and he is wonderful and kind of like Drake May,
but also very cute and reminds me of a young

(10:51):
Ryan Fitzpatrick. If you do a side by side picture
of them, they look identical. They It is so fun
that the Patriots are good again. I mean, fans are
so passionate. So they won, and you know, we put
the request in for Drake May. And you know, even
with Mike Rabel, your your guys, Stacy James shout out pr.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
And you know, it's always like, you know, coaches.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
We've only had one coach on the set in the
four years we've done this, which is Sean Paige and
I know that he was probably just nice in doing
that because we used to.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
Be teammates at Fox. Whatever.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
Coaches are really tough to get that. They have to
do their presser, they have all the things. All of
a sudden, I get in my ear from Spoon. Game's over.
Drake made to the set great promote that no problem.
All right, Patriots fans, you're excited your nine and two.
Your quarterback's coming up here, stay tuned for the post game.
Blah blah blah, and Mirabel is lingering and I'm like,
he's walking to their set. Then get in my Earspoon

(11:42):
goes and Rabel too, and I was like, okay, Mike Rabel,
you guys, Mike Rabel, longtime Patriot, like then went to
Tennessee and had a great coaching stint there. But then
now the new England Patriots coach in his first year,
has turned this team around from a four and thirteen team.
The last two years they have doubled their win total
from the previous two years and then and then one.

(12:04):
So really did an incredible job. But I was so
honored that he came up to set. And so this
is me because I just said to life, the effusive
I'm like, thank you so much, thank you so much
for me, because it is never ever lost on me
that these coaches have. It is the fucking NFL ladies
and gentlemen. Okay, you have eighteen weeks with the boy,
you got seventeen games.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
It is your livelihood. It is these players livelihood. It
is the city's enthusiasm.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
It is a commerce for the local bars and restaurants.
There's so much pressure on winning for a lot of reasons,
especially in New England, to return to the greatness pre Brady,
whatever we get it. I'm like, thank you for just
coaching your ass off in a game, and for the
cour and for the short a week, short week. I
just really appreciate it. Was mifrable for coming up. And yes,
I know sometimes like quarterbacks, field or any player feels like,

(12:53):
all right, it's part of our obligation. It's never part
of your obligation. And you remember the ones that say no,
that will say no yes, And I'm like, so anyways,
it was a gift to have both of them on set.
And you know, you can love New England, you can
hate New England. It's better for the NFL when they
are relevant and they are.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
They have a commanding lead in that AFC East and
Mike Rabell.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
For anyone that doesn't know much about him, he was
a no bullshit player, no bullshit when he was in
the NFL, even in college, and he's a no bullshit coach.
And I love him because he's to the point he
doesn't candy coat anything. He's my kind of guy. I
love coach Braybelle. I've always enjoyed being around him. I
kind of got a little in with him when I

(13:39):
met him, and I think he knew that Kirk and
I were friends obviously, that we had worked together when
I first started and street sorry, and then he just
always looked out for me. He was always really great to.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
Me and I appreciated that.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
And so when I saw him go on this set,
I just really I've always loved him, but I loved
him even more for that. For you guys, And when
he was on the set, you thanked him and he said,
you guys do a really good job. And I texted
CHRISA and I said, he wouldn't have come on that
set and he wouldn't have said that to you if
he didn't mean it. And I just said, that's a huge,

(14:17):
huge credit to you as a host and your shots
f because that's that's my fucking vray ball. He doesn't
do that, and that's yes. I've never met him before.
I've never like, I have no previous. I hope that
there's an opportunity at some point to do a sit
down with him, because I would love to for all
the reasons.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
You know what.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
Who he reminds me of. He reminds me a lot
of my dad, and that he is a man's man.
He's amazed, like he is very Howie long in that
way right where it's like how we long now is
like sweet?

Speaker 1 (14:47):
How we long?

Speaker 2 (14:48):
How we long?

Speaker 1 (14:49):
When playing like we'll fuck you up?

Speaker 2 (14:51):
And it's like he is a let's chop wood with
our bare hands kind of guy because they are just
due Hi, and I yeah, I just I don't know.
I really appreciate that. I also appreciate this, and I
do not. I hope she doesn't mind me shouting her out.
Alexander Francisco. She sent me a nice letter. She's not
sent me. She stopped me postgame. And she is the

(15:12):
Patriots reporter and has been for the last two years
and worked in sports for the last ten years. She said,
she's covered all different sports, but specifically gear gear amazing.
She'll love that. She couldn't have been kinder, she couldn't
have been nicer. I know she listens to this podcast.
So again, Alexandra, I hope you don't mind me shouting
you out. I was so touched by the note that
you wrote, a handwritten note with, by the way, the

(15:35):
greatest penmanship I have, Like, every time I read these
notes or anything like, you have great penmanship too, I'm
just like I should be better. Anyways, she had really
nice things to say about you and I are. And
it's not like I like her because she said nice things.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
It just is a.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
Good reminder that we have been in this for a
long time and that someone like her, who also has
now a great career, listens to the podcast and appreciates
sort of different things that we've done, very similar to
how we appreciate the Melissa Starks of the world who
have been in this business for a long time. And
so I just wanted to shout her out and thank you.

(16:09):
And also a personal note that she wrote in there
asking about you know, Willis and different things.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
So I just really appreciate that and go past.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
Good for her because I said to her, I was like,
cause she's been there for the last five years, Like,
how much more fun is it to cover the team
that's winning.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
I mean, let's be honest, Like I covered the Colorado Rocket.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
They didn't fucking win anything, and then right as I
was about to leave, they went on their run to
the World Series. It's so, I mean, these jobs are amazing,
but like when you're winning, when you're winning, nothing better
than especially the access and the relationship that you develop
with these players and watch them go on their run.
So Alexandria, thanks girl, Keep it up.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
Girl. Mm hm.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
You guys had Greg Olsen in this studio, which was
stay and fine. I had heard I was going to
toss to him during my her two of the Matthew
Stafford feature which was if you guys didn't get to
see that, check it out. I know we talked about
it last week, which just all laughter, Like it was
all laughter nine is yeah, and you two obviously having
the great friendship and relationship that you do. It's nice

(17:15):
to see. He's always going to be great, but you
really bring out the best of him. So if you
guys didn't get to see that Aaron has it on
our ig parts one and two of that and he
is fucking balling.

Speaker 1 (17:24):
So are the Rams so.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
Get it and Greg goleson bawling in studio and that
was just so much fun. I knew how what a
good time you guys were having in there. And then
I got to throw it to him after my piece,
which was great. He just I want to hear some
Greg goles and stories. I texted him after and I go,
that was fun. I just wish we were having some
old fashions. I know he's great. He just here's the
thing about Greg. So for anyone that doesn't, I know,

(17:48):
I have to remind myself that not everybody listens, you know,
or loves football the way that we do. So in
my Mike moulva Hill Seminar notes where he reminded us
Mike Molbihill is a long time employee of FO and
he always reminds us during the seminar of different things,
remember that not every viewer is as inside as well.
Greg Olsen, future Hall of Famer, He longtime Carolina Panthers,

(18:11):
Chicago Bears, ended his career in Seattle. Has won two
Emmys for his time in the booth. Him and Aaron
of course worked together with Kevin Burkhart for years. So
Greg Olsen is just fucking xanax, right, He is human xanax.
If you're in a bad mood, Greg Olsen comes around

(18:31):
and you're in a good mood. He is a maniac.
He is in the best possible way. We love him
so much as you always like to talk about Gronk.
He's also a Mickey Mouse at Disneyland. That's just going
to make you happy. So Greg was calling the Rams
Seahawks game, as Aaron mentioned at SOFI. So when that happens,
which is so nice because that's a long day. You
do it too when you have a Rams game coming

(18:52):
studio and then go over. So he walks in and
we can say this, we love Greg, and he's also
been on the podcast. But it's like Greg's always shoveled,
but like in the best way.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
But he was Barley dishoveled, like he was this not
this time.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
My man opens up that studio door and I can
hear I can hear the voice because this guy does
not enter quietly, thank god.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
And he's like hey, hey, hey guys.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
And he looks great. Greg's hairs perfectly in place. The
suits were studio hair felt. I know, he goes talking
about Tommy, he goes, these were more amazing there his hair,
it never looks so good, and he loves studio hair.
I feel like Greg Olsen is like Kramer, like Kramer
from Seinfeld, but last just like in a more professional way.

(19:39):
It's like he's gone all these like things, but like
he's just great. So anyways, he comes in and you know,
we're talking about the NFC West, it's different stuff.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
But before we even get to.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
That, he starts telling a story where he's like, I've
only had a couple's massage with a few people, my
wife and Cooper Manning.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
And I'm like that was crazy. What are we talking about?

Speaker 2 (19:57):
But like that's the if, and now in how you
feel because you got to work with them every week.
If I had Greg Olsen everyone, I don't know if
I'd get through a segment. I would just be laughing
with the nonsense. So we love you, Greg, and thank
you for on a very busy day spending a little
time with us. I actually felt that way when I
got to do this segment with you, and I know
why I should have gotten right into my Vikings Bears thing.

(20:18):
But I heard Julian say crappy weather in the dome,
and I was like, first of all, I've covered Joe
Goff at Lambeau and it wasn't good weather. It was
pouring the whole time. And the fact he said crappy
on air, I said.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
This is great. I'm going to just talk about this
right now.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
That is the least inappropriate thing that he said when
he said something or else.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
Yes, he said, Jared Goff likes dome. Pause. Okay, And
that's how I had to make the turn to you.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
Okay. I probably couldn't get any church. They were saying, like,
all right, Aaron, the throy to you in like five
seconds whatever. There probably was like an interferer. I was like, okay,
and then afterwards for anyone that knows, and no, right,
we're not taking this out either. Again, he goes, that's
a stool thing. Because Jared Goff plays really well inside.
He plays in a dome, and I'll say this last
night in Philadelphia outside didn't play as well. So maybe

(21:08):
there's some evidence to support that Jared Goff's performance when
in inclement weather isn't in clement I always get that
wrong anyways, Inclement and Clement Inclement, I think, yeah.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
Inclement, don't. I don't go with anything I say.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
No. I think it's the way I was saying it.
Anym Inclement, I don't know, but you go Jared Goff

just I have to do a Black Friday game, which
is totally I love you and I We've said this
many times.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
We don't care if we lose our holidays. How fucking
awesome is it that?

Speaker 2 (22:39):
Like everyone everybody's watching exactly eating their turkey pumpkin pie,
and my girl comes on and it's like Thanksgiving and
we've got Black Friday and then Christmas. I gotta get anyways,
we get it. We were Holidays, but I Packers lying.
I didn't because when the person was like, oh, I'm
gonna be in the trait for that for Thanksgiving and
I was like, wait, who are they playing?

Speaker 1 (22:58):
And he's like Packers.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
I was like, oh fuck, yeah, awesome, let's go inside.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
Battle Damn and North Hot. I mean, I'm here for it.
All we've got. We've got a fire couple of weeks,
like our schedule.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
Went on.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
Brad Sanger, it's looking good, looking good, all right? You
know what else is looking good? Those ratings ninety nine
to beat.

Speaker 2 (23:20):
I know you'll never say this, but I would love
for you to update for those of you that don't know,
you should. Aaron hosts an amazing show on Wednesday night,
ninety nine to beat, and I need to know what
level of competition we're at right now and give the
people a quick little recap. So yeah, I was just
going to put it on the map if you guys
are looking for things to watch right now nine o'clock.

(23:42):
Like Chris has said on Wednesday, we're getting down and
our episodes have been so so good because we started
with one hundred players. We have to end with one
to go home with the grand prize of a million dollars.
I think we're at like twenty eight twenty six right now,
but we can really dive into the stories of these
contestants and it's gotten really good.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
Love the ratings last week. Let's keep it up.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
If you miss it on Wednesday night, go over to
Hulu you can check it out. But guys, I got
to tell you, let's go really really. You don't have
to be first, but you can't can finish.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
I always butchered that line back, Oh what of them?

Speaker 2 (24:20):
All?

Speaker 1 (24:20):
Right? So you have a Larry davidism.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
Oh it's not my Larry davidism, but it's somebody else's
who I will not name because it's anonymity is imporman.
A guess you'll still appreciate the story because I would
love to know if anybody else thinks like this. Because
the person's like looking through their mail and we're sitting
there or whatever because we're doing different stuff, and it
was like there was downtime, so it's like busy, you know,

(24:44):
we're just trying to fill time. And there's a stack
of mail and they have a jury summons and I
was like, oh, man, that sucks, and he goes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
that sucks. And so he's like, Okay, I know I'm
gonna have to open it. It's thee civic duty, the
whole thing or whatever. And I said, you know what
all I could think about is that a Larry David
thing would be to throw the jury summons away.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
Okay, yeah, just throw it in the garbage.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
But then someone finds it in the garbage, like a
bumb or somebody like finds it as they're digging through
the trash, and it's like, oh, because it's illegal, it's
illegal to do that. Right should not respond to jury duty.
And they because they're in your trash, they know you
live there, and then they come and ring the doorbell
and be like, oh, I know that you threw this away,
and then like hold it over your head and it

(25:30):
turns into all and then it's like now, all the sudden,
it's like it turns into the thing where the home
owners like, no, so they've got to like pay this
guy off.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
They got to do something.

Speaker 2 (25:40):
I just started thinking about the shit that ends up
in the trash can, and all I could think about
was Larry with the jury duty thing, because in reality,
like I'll get these senses things and I'm like, it'll
say like, oh, by law, you have to fill them out,
And to be honest with you, I fill him out
just because I'm terrified that if I don't fill him
out then I'm gonna be arrested. But like, what's the
way to fill those out? Yeah, it's our responsibility. It's

(26:02):
like a you know, a citizen to fill out these Well,
that's just it. It's like I'm like, who is going
to report me? So anyways, he goes, you know, I
got to do this, and I was like, wonder if
you just like threw that away and he was like,
well you can't, cause it's illegal and I was like,
I know, but then wouldn't this be such an episode?
And this is where I'm going, I'm going to text.
So sometimes I'll text Larry and I'll say like, oh,

(26:22):
this would be a great idea for you, but like
I feel like a jury duty situation. My last one
that I text them about where he's like, ooh, good
idea is these fake pre borders you know for airplanes,
where I'm like, they're like, all right, anyone needing more time?
And there's like this barrage of people that come up
and there's like twenty people. I'm like, hey, none of
you and I know we can't look at them and

(26:42):
say they don't have an issue, but none of you
look like you got an issue. Okay, you're not in
the wheelchair, you're not with the you know, the crutches,
you don't look like you have all this thing. Why
did all of a sudden all these people need more
time and no one's allowed to question them because they
could have something that's not shown, which, by the way,
if you do have that, better have a docu.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
You should say you got to show me proof.

Speaker 2 (27:01):
I can't just go to TSA and be like I
have TSA PreCheck. I have to be verified that I
have TSA PreCheck. So why do the good point why
do the pre borders get to just go up there
without hark? Why do they get away with it? Because
there's the fake pre borders and people are taking a
lot of liberties, as I like to say, and they're
just flooding the gate, flooding the gate, and now Zone

(27:22):
what is pushed back to Zone seven And I swear
to God, by the time I get on the fucking plane,
there's seventy five people there.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
I'm like, there's no benefit of being in Zone one anymore.
Fake pre borders.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
And I feel like Kramer would be the fake pre border,
and George would.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
Call him out on it.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
George definitely would be the fake pre border. No, Kramer
would be the fake pre border. You think you know
Seinfeld better than I do.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
Yeah, I should.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
I shouldn't pretend that that's by the way, this is
how this went for Aaron's wedding. Hey do you think
that whenever I needed a plus one, Larry was my
plus one? Hey do you think Larry would go to
my wedding? And I was like, well, yeah, you know
my plus one, no problem, and she's like, because Jared
really likes Seinfeld. And I was like, okay, well let's go.
You guys in your wedding vows talked about Seinfeld. I

(28:11):
was like, when you were out there giving your vowels,
I was like, oh my god, they weren't kidding.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
My people really love Seinfeld. It was very funny. We
really really do.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
And friends, why didn't any of the guys bring Jennifer Aniston?
She you just probably should have asked them. I think
we know now that would have been able to Well, no,
she probably wouldn't have come. Having nothing to do with you.
More about the guys. All right, we have a big

(28:42):
week twelve. We've got all sorts of restaurant dueling.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
Oh go.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
So we had some downtime in Minnesota Airport. Minnesota Airport
yesterday after our game noon kick so six thirty boarding,
we had some time. It was really really nice. We
had it up having a great time. We had about
probably eight of us. We hop on over to ikes
by the d gates and.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
We go upstairs.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
There's actually like whole like golf simulators up there for
people that really get delayed.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
If you want to play around of golf, well, we
have God.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
We had a hell of a flight back because we
had the Chiefs game on and then we had the
Rams game on, so it was like we sit down,
we'll We're like, we'll take some margarita's.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
We'll take fun those.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
That's fun when you've got great games, and then you
don't want you want to be delayed because you're like, yeah,
the game's not over. I don't want to exaggerate. Okay,
go ahead, sorry, you know the one. And then there's
even time to wash your face. And I'm sharing sharing
my samcare with Kevin, I'm sharing it with Bob, I'm
sharing it with sharing your skincare with Kevin too, because
every time I'm with Al, he goes, hey, you got
any that moisturizer?

Speaker 1 (29:46):
Like I sure do.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
Al. I was doing a whole skincare routeine with Al
and Sweet Linda Michaels was like, what's going on for her?

Speaker 1 (29:52):
I was like, Linda, would you like some moisturizer? Yeah?
I love these boys. They act like they don't like it,
but they like they like it. I was sharing my
prescriptions is It Cream with.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
Emma, and I even even my doctor zoepads if anyone
needed it. Oh, we were having a time, and the
reason we were having a time was Amy from IKES.
Shout out to Amy, You're great. Amy made some strong margarita's,
and the feeling really legally legally, the feeling around our

(30:24):
table was she may or may not have. For somebody
in IKES had heard the podcast where we talked about
me Casa right.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
Last week's episode.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
Prefer here, Yeah, Gordon Beers we normally go to at
the San Jose Airport, but this time we tried a
new place called me Cossa. Ellen got very territorial, came
over to meet Costa and said, there, margaritas aren't as
good as ours at Gordon Beer's. Now we shares a
Minnesota rita dueling. We have a margarita competition at every airport.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
Now.

Speaker 2 (30:53):
Hey, by the way, I'll see you Minnesota Airport and
raise you at Detroit Airport. Detroit, what do you got
come Thanksgiving? They gotta They saw me on blanc at
PF Changs. They got Kristin at PF Changs. Look at
that you got it. Every week I got to cover
the fact that you know Kristin. And by the way,
this has now become a running thing. I forgot that
you knew her name. Every time I'm in the Detroit Airport,

(31:15):
which maybe twice a year, I walked past the PF
Changs and I take a picture because I never have
enough time to stop, and Aaron's like, damn it, I
wish you could stop in.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
I forgot Kristen.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
Okay, great, I'm gonna ask for Kristin if I ever
get a chance to stop. Amy crushed it, She crushed it.
She crushed us. Everybody's ordering their second and third. I
was like, I can't even get past this first one.
And so anyways, we feel like in our crew now
it's going to become a thing, a dueling like Margarita,
because everyone wants to show us this has show this

(31:45):
who's got the best best for the crew, It's going
to be ninety nine to beat. But Margarita's oh my god,
finished last.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
Oh that's good stuff.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
Good stuff, guys, Silver LUNs okay, silver Patron Jowels, Jowels.
I had a real day yesterday. I don't know if
if the lighting wasn't really helping me out. I am
so jealous of your lighting in the studio because it's
now getting to the point where, look, it's week twelve.

Speaker 1 (32:15):
I'm tired.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
This face is getting old. But all the pictures I saw,
or even when I watched my hit with you and
on the pregame show, just these pockets a tobacco. They
were on fire. They were like miss off, like you're
so stupid. So I said that last week about my jowlscus.
I got this whole pocket over there. I got whatever
it's called, a zoot in here, whatever it's called now

(32:38):
whatever those what are those things that people the packets
of the tobacco.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
Zim za zin. I got zins in here.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
What I've been by the way, guys that know how
to that's like pack the tobacco whatever. Who says tobacco? Okay,
well you're crazy. We both feel this way. We've had
conversations about this, and I don't see it the way
you see it in you what it's like we've talked about.
I told you when lighting is fucking light me up

(33:05):
like a goddamn Christmas tree lighting, I I want I
don't want to light I get me on fire right now,
on fire. Anyways, I don't know. Half hours coming home
from Minnesota, following these people that do facial uh massages,
I woke up this morning doing this.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
Oh my doing this.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
Now, I got all this ship in my algorithm and
it says do this one hundred times.

Speaker 1 (33:31):
I was in plates and driving going look bruital.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
I know, I know stretching your face is going to
help these zin pockets like that, only I feel like
make the worse.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
Well, you know what's going to help mine. I can't
wait for March third, I know, but I got to
tell you something.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
I went and talked to my botox guy and he said,
that's not just a huh, that's a huh huh. I'm
going to tell you a few Let me do this.
My face left saren on facelifts. I don't want to
full facelift. I know.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
I don't want to pull face lower. I don't want
to look like our car on a car or.

Speaker 2 (34:07):
I said, I think sometimes and again I've been the
first to say, you know, in the in the rounds
of filler and shit, I was like, line me up,
and then I look stupid. I look like a cat.
My dad had to call me and be like, hey,
what are we what's going on here? My dad didn't
say anything about anything, but I'm you know, every my body,
my choice, Okay, everyone is a shout to do whatever

(34:27):
the fuck they want. But I'm going to tell you
right now, I've done those little string things that you pull,
and the second I go hey and open my mouth,
the strings pop.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
They do. Yes, they don't kind of come up with something.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
I'm very expressive and I'm like, ah, like this is
not gonna work, and I'm saying so much fun exactly,
and then I feel like the rubber band is shoved
up and that can't be good for you. So look,
I'm going to research my options the same way I
talked about how I wanted a breast augmentation. I never
ended up going through with that because I didn't end
up wanting it. But I'm forty three years old. Yes,

(34:59):
we're on televis and it's not about feel so vain.
It's not about it's about the fact that keeping fucks
out do it for the company.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
I'm kidding.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
If they're not asking us to no, don't break that down,
your host, don't do it shit.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
In fact, they would never say anything.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
I just I want to feel the same way again,
the same way women get boobs and they're like, I
want to feel a certain way. I want to feel
a certain way about my face too, and my draws
and the whole hung. So if I want to do something,
fuck it, I can do whatever I want. I'm researching
my options. The difference between Aaron and I is this.
I am just going to show up one day and

(35:35):
my shit's going to be fucking pulling out, and Aaron's
going to be on her seventeenth excelsation PowerPoint presentation researching options.
And I'm a girl, as evidence by my two quick
shotgun marriages. I just go ahead, Yeah, sure, we'll deal
with the consequences later. Obviously it doesn't always work out
for me, but it's what you're gonna do. It's worth
the risk. You know, you're aware, and your fucking garbage

(35:59):
can you trash back? So it's like I am, it's
worth it for me if I want to do something
and I feel like it now Again, I know it's important,
surgery whatnot, but I'm just gonna let you know. I'm
gonna research my options and when I show up next year,
look like as Steve likes to say, the jaw is
the jaw line are the abs.

Speaker 1 (36:17):
Of the face.

Speaker 2 (36:18):
That's when he told me one time, oh ooh strong
jaw line, jaw lines, abs of the face, and I
go not wrong. So when I show up looking like
I got a motherfucking six pack on my face, you
got a good jaw. You got a good jaw. Did
I go to school? You have a good jaw. There's
a lot going on there. But anyways, teach its own.
You know, see something, say something. So I'm saying what

(36:41):
I see now is on my algorithm. I have seventeen
thousand exercises to do for my face. I've never learned
more about nodules. And I was in ploties they said
do it one hundred times. Now I think it's I've
stretched my face out.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
But anyways, I gotta tell you I'm doing.

Speaker 2 (37:04):
The other day, I tried to say yesterday, I tried
to say a real wheel on TV, and I was like, well,
ra the real real all right, sister. Well, I'm just
going to say this, thank you for and we will
get into it next week because I have had kind
of a crappy few days and you have made me
feel better.

Speaker 1 (37:23):
I will be able to talk more about that next week.
But before we.

Speaker 2 (37:26):
Go, can we raise a glass to our girl a
coffee mug? Wait, hold on, I just unplunged my mic
Can you hear me still?

Speaker 1 (37:34):
All right?

Speaker 2 (37:35):
As we sign off, I've had a kind of a
crappy couple of days. But Aaron, I will say this
because you guys are loyal listeners. That's what friends are for,
best friends in particular. And I just want to before
I say goodbye, I want to show you my sweet
little Daisy is sitting over there.

Speaker 1 (37:51):
I'm gonna show you. Hold on, hold on, Dasy, hold
on Daisy. Look at my Daisy. Look at the cozy
girl you say, hi, Hi Angel.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
We don't deserve them. We don't deserve them. And yeah,
I just I wanted to have Daisy. I talked about
Willis on this.

Speaker 1 (38:07):
Podcast because Willis was going through things a couple of
weeks ago.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
But I wanted my little Daisy to have a shout
out because there are some things going on and I
will talk about them next week. But thank you guys
for listening to good, the bad, the ugly, all the
other things. And by ugly I mean the facebooks. I'm
not I'm gonna get when the thing's all said and done.
Love you and thank you for being there for me.
Love I love you, Love you, Daisy. My Girl. Calm
