Speaker 1 (00:00):
Calm Down with Aaron and Carissa is a production of
I Heart Radio. I'm not listening to this guy anymore.
Celtics advice. I'm losing myers on gambling and with that,
welcome to the pre game. You're not doing well. I
have I have to take a break from wagering. I
have never been this bad in my twenty eight years

(00:23):
of gambling. What's going on? I don't have a pulse
on anything. The games that I am very confident about
end up having a blow up. The players that I
think are going to score over twenty eight and a
half points have four points. It's just I'm all over
the map and I'm not an avid NBA watcher, but
even then I can still gamble on it and do well.
I'm doing terrible anyways. Thank you for letting me bitch

(00:45):
about it. But I'll tell you what. Go Kings go
to everyone. This is the pregame. It's ten minutes of fun,
just giving you a little sample of what we might
talk about in more detail on our episode on Thursday.
We always take your questions that you guys kind enough
to write in from our i G account. If you
guys don't follow us, then you should calm down. Podcast

(01:06):
d ms all your questions and we will do our
best to answer them. We want to fire it away. Baby,
What's what's the first question? Yeah, I can't pronounce your name,
but I think it's oh Sue. And then a bunch
of letters, get this country to visit visit. I'm gonna
say Croatia. We've done Italy, We've done Greece. We'd love
to do Croatia on a boat. Anyone to have a

(01:26):
boat or the country? Cecilia I've heard it's great. You know,
I've always been a fan of that name until recently.
But by any other name doesn't smell as sweet, you
know what I mean? Anyways, I'd go anywhere. Um that
Cecilia wasn't now let's see here. Um. I love the
idea of Croatia. I've never been there. I've never been
to Greece, so I would like to go there. Always

(01:48):
looks so beautiful. Um. Also would like to go back
to Italy. I'd like to do the Amalfi coast. Haven't
had that opportunity to give me to Capri. Grab a
lemon stay awhile I'm making lemonade these days? You know? Now,
do you let your dogs sleep in bed with you.
You and I disagree on this one. Listen, I don't
disagree with you. I do and I agree with you

(02:10):
that we shouldn't. Unfortunately, this dog runs my show. He
knows it. I love him so much, I don't care.
I didn't even use to let my dogs upstairs with
me or on the couch until COVID happened. Now they
can go upstairs only Willis does, hence the shipping all
over the carpet um and then no beds, no beds.

(02:34):
But Willis is so sweet. He's the O g Hey,
we'll follow me upstairs every night and lay at the
like on the floor. Um, like a little protector that
he is. So um. Danielle Police said, favorite sports tradition
so milk after hockey, playoff, beards, gatorade baths. What's your
favorite sports tradition, Miss Andrews, I would say it's hockey.

(02:58):
And I love how they won't touch the cup. They
won't touch the conference championship trophy because they just you know,
until they've won it. I love that Charles Barkley did that.
I guess the other day he didn't touch the cup
because he's like I never want it, so I'm not
touching it. I love it. What about you, ship? I
shouldn't have touched it. I never wanted and I touched it.
That's bad, girl. And what else I did too? And

(03:19):
it was when I first started covering hockey. And I've
been honest about this. Didn't grow up watching a lot
of hockey. I grew up in Seattle. We had a
minor league team, the Thunderbirds, but we didn't have a
big NHL team. And I'll never forget this. Walked into
the dressing room and I walked right across the penguin
on the floor and Sydney goes, Carissa. I was like what,

(03:41):
and he goes, you don't do that? And I was
like what And I looked around and I never made
that mistake of him. But that's not also not the
which he's so nice, but that's not the dude you
want to call you out. I'm like, oh, sorry, you
cannot walk on the logo? Is that just in hockey
or is that everywhere? It just depends on every No, No,
it's a good question. I don't I've never I've never

(04:03):
thought about that anywhere else, and just the hockey one
really don't do that. This is a good one, in
appropriate for today. Any hangover remedies, and this is from
original Ellie one. What's yours? Also, I gotta say this,
I've been doing a lot of drinking of the last
couple of months, and I mean, that's fine. I'm just
leaning in. I'm gonna stop apologizing for it. I'm having

(04:25):
a real spring break moment over here. Given the climate
of my life for the last few years, I'm just
letting it all hangs gone wild. Yeah, we're getting crazy,
appropriately though, of course. But my favorite hangover remedies I
just get back in the mix. I don't go hair
of the Dog. I crack it open. Is there a
Core's original sitting right here now? Yes, there is. You
just gotta throw one back. Oh yeah, and work out.

(04:48):
Yeah that's mine. You work out, definitely. I also do
like a McDonald's breakfast sandwich if I feel like absolute
dog crap, that is what I go for. Yeah, breakfast
sandwich if and my go is a sausage biscuit, no
egg with the hash brown and the orange shoe, which
is like diabetes. Yeah, man, that biscuit is goodrum it

(05:14):
is um and they are looking at um Aaron, do
you still talk to Tom Berger on that little Cutie?
I do. I'm going to lunch with him on Thursday.
I'm excited about that. Not asked you that before. About
him and working with him, he seemed like such an
incredible co host. What made him it's so good at

(05:35):
what you guys are both so good at what you do.
But what made him such a great co host? He
was so good at any situation live, whether it was
a wardrobe malfunction, something crazy that somebody would say, I
mean live television. And you know, one time we had
a protest or run across stage and he handled it
so while he had I think Marie Osmond faint on stage.
Also just witty, dry sense of humor, super sarcastic. Not

(06:00):
thing phased him. I love them so much, and that
is so hard to do. I mean, we've worked with
a lot of different people and live is a whole
different animal, and just react to what happens next. Yeah, totally. Oh,
calm down, merch, calm down, stickers. We can do all
the things, you guys. Nope, we should get some stickers.
I love that idea. Keep sending us your questions, you guys,

(06:23):
we love the we have. I was just thinking about
when Rob Dancing with the Stars. I have a lot
of questions from that show. I'm gonna submit them maybe
undern alias. You know you guys, Calm Down Podcast, Get excited.
This has been the pregame. It's a little hint of
what we might talk about. We've got a lot of
things to discuss. It's our offseason, but we're still busy
working doing other things. We will discuss that and our
