and his teeth are so raw. Yeah? Sorry, um I do I look like an asshole? But well, what's new? Happy holidays everyone? Speaking of holidays? Who knew that the Monday after the New year's a holiday? We'll get to that later. We don't have enough time with this hand white Actually not bad this time. It's the pre game. It's fun for everyone, right, it's w C. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, um okay, let's start with the free game.

Of course, if you want to hear us bitch, and we're only two days into the new year, you're gonna have to listen to our longer podcast that will come out on Thursday. I am getting ready to go off on some tangents and some things, but let's start with Alyssa twenty two one. To you guys again, thank you so much for writing in. It makes us feel so important and especially that you've got to actually care see me. Um okay, I plan I this. I love this question

so much, Ryan, thank you for picking it out. I planned my whole week around when I wash my hair. I have been seen. How in the hell do you do? Y'all do that with your events? Or do you wash it all the time? The people need to know. Well, I can answer her. For Carissa, she washes her hair five times a day, which is so bad for your hair, which is why I have five strands of hair. Yeah, oh stop, you do not you're on the full um neutralful? Hey, I yeah, I do, Alyssa. I'm not gonna lie. I

do plan. I washes around what I'm doing. Uh. For example, if I know I have a sit down interview, I don't want it to be super clean that day, or if I know the game. Here's an example, Sunday really humid yesterday in Tampa. So is that an all down need to wash your hair? No? You know what I did? I just washed the front traps. I like to say top wash. I put the longer stuff in the back because I knew it was going to be in a ponytail,

and I just washed the front. It's really interesting if anyone had walked in on me in the shower, because you got this part down, hanging down the other part you're trying to wash your face. It's a ship show. But yes, I do the same thing. Um, Like Aaron just said, I washed my I cannot stand like after I go for work out whatever, I can't do the light a match and stay a while. Don't get that near my hair because it is flammable with all of the disastrous things I've done to it. No, I wash

it every day, sometimes three times a day. It's not good for me. Anyways. Thank you for asking Alyssa up Leaning four. She was the first splurge purchase with your first I made it paycheck. I'm still waiting, you know. I just I haven't quite had that made it to the league moment. No, I feel very fortunate. We both had great jobs. We um worked really hard for our money. I think sure, I think a house, which again on the Longer podcast, I've got some thoughts about being a homeowner.

They said it would be great, but I spent the morning dealing with the contractors and the leaky roof. But hey, um the new year. Yeah, a house. Buying my first house was my big I'm a big girl. I can do it on my own feeling, and it was the most amazing thing. It was a house I always wanted to, always wanted in Malibu on the water, and I got it. And that was a purchase that I'm very very very very proud of. I've learned that for you and so proud of that. Mine was a brand new stick shift

Black Jetta. I didn't buy the BMW because I was your made it money. Well. No, I did buy a house for myself when I was single in Atlanta, and the story goes that I didn't need as many bedrooms as I had, but I really felt proud of myself and I bought like a four bedroom town home in Atlanta, and that's like where you feel like rich rich, Like now, I would never you know, you can't do that out here in California. But it was cool and it was probably a huge waste of money. But I was young

and stupid and living by myself. My sister came to live with me for a while. It was fine. I never was where she lived with you. Yeah, I used it as a storage because I worked like four games a week for ESPN at the time in Atlanta was a hub, so it literally was like a storage unit. Delta Diamond status in three weeks into the new year. So if you want a bitch about me people out there, maybe no, I'm not even to go there. Yeah, I'm gonna go there on third on our Thursday podcast because

I got some things to say yet ass off. Oh yeah it was great. Kay. Courtney's stead man favorite ice cream flavor chocolate ice cream with almonds. Chocolate almond ice cream so good. But if I can't get it, I like a chocolate chip ice cream at thirty one Flavors, that's the thirty second flavor because I have never heard of that in my um Like it's hard mint chocolate chip is mine or cookie dough and I'm the dick who digs in and gets all the cookie dough out,

so then the next person goes in and it's just vanilla. What. I can't eat a whole ice cream I used to be able to back in the day, or I have raging stomach issues. You put it all you and Daisy both Lauri put it all together, and the or you can't put it all together? From Lauren one fort Carissa, how was your time on splash? My mom and I loved it? Laura's little cutie. I've just found the two people that watched that show, because the ratings told me no one watched it. It was a flop, you know

what I mean. I was just having this conversation yesterday with someone about how scary diving is, Like when I watched the divers in the Olympics, I was like, oh my god, Like at some point you have to practice those dives off the thirty five platform and it's concrete and there's no bounce, and how you're getting hurt at some point practicing these moves. So then ABC decides, Hey, you know what we're gonna do. We're gonna put Kareem abdul Jabbar thirty five ms up in the air. Nothing

can go wrong here. It was entertaining, but it only lasted one season for a reason. So Lauren, thank you for watching. I had a great time on the show with my friends there. But Kendra, where's Kendra what's she up to? The girl next door? Oh yeah, she did it too. She didn't like they did your show and then they went to Chancing with the Stars. Everybody who did that, you know, absolutely so. I was entertained hosting the show. Joey Lawrence, he didn't want to get in

the pool, didn't want to get the hair wet. You know what I mean? You do the mask, but um, it was an accident waiting to happen. But thank you, Lauren Nick. Thank god one didn't though? Did was or an accident? Well, there was an ambulance. But everyone made it out alive, you know, oh good good. Producers loved it though. That added to the package. Um okay, sb Pace, biggest surprise of two. I don't know, it's all a blur. It feels like it's all rolling into that. I made

it out alive. A little less money, I've made it out alive. It's half do you what's the top gunline? You're writing checks your body can't cash. I wrote checks they cashed for someone else, but worth it? Next that made the New York Post. Bria Wilson, are you take are YouTube? Taking a fun trip together? After the super Bowl? How many in the beach, all the places. Yeah, we are very excited about our postseason VAK schedule. Let's actually have a come to fruition. We're getting better at this

farm Rare mr in Illinois. Liz Hudson three, if you can hellow us where sheet, if you can accomplish one thing, what would it be? I absolutely love that question and it's a great way to end. Liz Hudson three, E you go first. I don't know. I'll go first. I am really, really really gonna work on my patients. It is not something dot God did not give me patients, uh, and I think he wants me to earn it in this lifetime. And I'm four years old and I don't

have it yet. But I wrote down yesterday my resolutions, and one of them is patients. And so I do. I write down what a resolution is, and then I do an actionable thing on how I'm going to hopefully achieve that resolution. And so alongside patients, I wrote count to five before responding. So if I want to just react right away, I have to go and then react and hopefully that five seconds will give me more grace because I am reactionary, reactionary pow and I want to

we're on being a little less. I think you and I need ten seconds to be Probably five is not enough. Go to ten and then count backwards. I was reading a thing on Instagram yesterday. If you are raising a boy, these are some tips that are important, and one of them is teach him if he is upset and wants to write an angry email, write it, read it, and delete it. And I thought, wow, if I have a boy, his mother should practice that as well. With tax too. I also need to see the girl call him of that,

because I should probably be reading that. Kathy Thompson was definitely not submitting any articles to that suggestions in that in terms of raising girls, I really really like that. I didn't able to tell you about it, but this one, this would be our luck. No, it's ship. I was trying to read it. I was trying to read it. Shit, it's ship. Delete, delete, I know, I know, I know,

I yeah. No. Patience is a good one. I needed to I was in need of patience yesterday when I was traveling and I had massive chest pains about something from our game, and I just thought to myself, why do I care? Why? And not that I'm saying you can't care about your job, but like, put it in perspective, we care about we care, and I think that's what makes me so piste off about a lot of other things, is that you and I care so much about And again, there's going to be a rant about this on the

Thursday podcast. I know you guys can't wait to hear it. I've I've built it up so much, but yeah, it's because I have patience with them. But I need to work on patients and putting it all into perspective because I'm going to drive this guy right out of this house if I don't, because he's getting to the point where he's like, I can't hear about it. Well, I've kicked some out of my house, so don't come to

me for advice on that. Well. For more, visit us on the full podcast via Thursday, Happy New Year, Happy fucking New Year. Calm Down with Aaron and Chrissa is a production of I Heart Radio.
