Episode 147: I Almost Lost A Car & I Almost Lost A Boyfriend!

I don't know anyway at knows all things. All right, we are back where we're wait. Super Bowl is going to be great. Aaron's stressing out because she doesn't feel like she's prepared, which she's always over prepared in packing roster, in studying, and in life. She carries the roster around her house. You have like on flash cards, number four, number four. Oh my god, this is what I was going to tell you. So Aaron has a story that I know should there you go? And this is what

I was going to tell you. So Aaron's gonna tell you a story about getting lost in a parking garage because I have a feeling that's going to make it into this episode. But I'm gonna give you a little precursory conversation to the getting lost in a parking lot. I always use sports numbers to remember the floor that I'm on, and that's how I do it. From a

hotel room, I do. Yeah, well I should do that actually, but um I if I'm like on floor Flour, I'm like, oh, Brett Farve, I'm on the far floor or the Chad Henny floor, or I'm on Derek Jeter number two. Ever Vincent the Cavalier. Yeah, exactly, pick your pleasure, pick your poison. Just remember when you're on and stop picking this it on your chin. So Aaron got lost in a parking garage. Go. So we took a day on Saturday like Chris and did last night, but we weren't drinking margarite as we

were drinking white wine. And we went to the Century City mall and we just wanted to run around. My husband. As we've said, when he gets a gift certificate, this guy goes. I haven't even unpacked my stocking. It's still sitting upstairs in our bedroom waiting for my husband to tell me he needs a separation from me because I have been, by the way, the worst partner in the world.

I keep saying to him, give me a couple of days, give me a couple like, give me this next week, and then you'll have your wife back and I'll put my Christmas talking away. So we go to Century City Mall. We're like talking, we're laughing, we're like excited to get a coffee because we're tired. And then we're like running around. We're doing all these things, and then it's like, let's go home. We don't know how to get home because

we don't know where the car is. We start walking, and then Jared, who is very prepared, who is very organized, who is very much the adult in this relationship. You guys are both very organized, very prepared, hence the aforementioned conversation about preparation. Not not really. So we're like, we're by the Gilson's, We're by the Gelston, what floor, what parking garage? It's all bad. I started texting you and Ryan as we've been walking for thirty minutes and at

one and we weren't fighting. Ryan did ask this. He goes, where you guys united? Were you fighting? We weren't fighting. At one point, I did have a panic, like, oh, ship, let's just leave the car here and go buy a new one, or like come back tomorrow and start crash. And he looked at me for one minute and he goes, Okay, so I think we should split up, and I, speaking

of survivor, goes, I'm not leaving you. I'm not going to be by myself, and he goes, no, split split up from this garage, and like, walk outside the mall and remember where we came in, because we were totally in a separate garage. To complete the whole story, We did find the car, but at one point he just looked at me. I didn't have to pee, I wasn't hungry, and I was sober. I think if I had been the opposite of all those of fighting women ensued. But he did look at me for one minute and he goes,

just hang with me, kid, We're gonna findness. But when John started sweating and he was like, fun, it's hot in here, I was like, oh no, we're never gonna find this car. Oh my god, you guys are so so far. For anyone that has lived in Los Angeles and has went to the Century City mall. You know the parking lot that we're talking about. I don't know what is going on over there Westfield, but we don't know if we're west, east, north or south. Okay, because there was a time that I went to that mall,

same thing. They redid the whole thing, but the parking lot still a Rubic's cube. I went there, lost my car. I said, fuck it. I went up ship to when there used to be a Houston's there. I said, fine, I'll just uber hall of that. So I went upstairs by myself, had to Margarita's uber at home. Came back in the morning really early, got dropped off. So then

there was a lot of cars. So now at least the parking lot is barren where I can be like, hey, click the button and hopefully the car like it's like you know where you click it to see like oh the alarm or unlocked like see the lights. Yeah exactly, And I got the car in the morning. It is, I mean, a real matrix down there. So you are not left alone. You are not alone on that island, sweetheart. Two further dive into this conversation, what happened to Houston's.

We lost our one in my area, that one in Century City. Houston's is a good time. It is. I lose a lot of things that Houston's because I would lose myself at the bar with a bottle of like white wall. I didn't lose my waistline with that spinach tip because it just kept coming fast and furious. Can we get some more chips? Chip? Never enough? I always got a house for more. And she's looking at me and I'm just eating it by myself. Oh, will anyone

else be joining you? The Houston's is now like a honor bar, and like they've renamed all of them or soil stream or something. I don't know. I don't have a golf stream. I wish I did have a private jet. Anyways, But yeah, I started laughing with those videos that you were sending us because we've all been there. Did I just spit on the microphone? Um? So that was good? Okay, speaking of couples, I want to open this up to the fabulous listeners of the Calm Down podcast. All right,

So Steve and I are flying back from York. We're going from New York to Las Vegas. I gotta do something there, and normally, like we don't need to bring a lot of time together. We did. In fact, it's really good for us because he's so funny and like, the more time I spent with him, the more I like him. He I can't get enough of this guy. He kills me. There's a novel idea. Yeah exactly. I mean, he's the best boyfriend I've ever had. And that's not just because all the other ones have been so shitty.

He's just all the things wrapped up into what. So we're flying and normally I don't do the like bring your daughter to workday were we don't need to bring the sand to the beach. Okay, we don't need to bring boyfriends and husbands to work trips. Okay, what are we doing here? A mentor? Sometimes so, but my husband can deal with himself exactly, which is why Steve gets the great Yeah. Um, so so this time I have to go to New York for something, he comes with me,

and then I gotta go to Vegas and do something. Fine, so he's coming along, and the President was in New York, so the United States, Well I pledge allegiance. Yes, of course, um the president not of Westfield Century City Mall. That president didn't make it any hard him. Oh my god, immediately blue? Was it red? Anyways, So the President's in New York I a lot two hours to get to the airport, which is a lot for me because you know, I like to show up the last boarding, final boarding.

MS Thompson get to the gate. Even two hours isn't enough because we got the motorcade, we got the whole thing. And as anyone knows, if you're going from Manhattan JFK, it's already an hour with no traffic, no presidential motorcade, blah blah blah. So we are sprinting. I'm like, we have to get on this fucking plate because the next flight is not for another four hours and I'm not

sitting my ass in that delta lounge. We get So we're sprinting, and you know when you see the gate number and you're like, this is the last gate, it is literally we've tracked it once. We're Minnesota file exactly one mile from the drop off to the actual gate, sprinting, sprinting. He's we even in and out because it's like, okay, we are gonna divide and conquer. You're gonna get there first. You're gonna hold the gate. He's faster than I hold

that gate, right, so he's fronting getting there. I go. I fly up luckily, like you know whatever, they haven't even started boarding it. I run into our mutual friend Jose. He's waiting to get on the same flight. I'm panting, hands on the knees, gasping. I'm out of breath. Now. This was already going to be a situation where there weren't any seats on this flight. So which again, fine, I'm not trying to sound like a boogie bitch, but like I need a first class seat if I'm going

to fly from New York to Las Vegas. But if you don't have any, and that means I have to take a connection through Dallas, I'm not interested. I'll sit my ass back in thirty four B No problem, Okay, So I'm gonna we're gonna be We're gonna be in coch coach flying. It is what it is. Unbeknownst to me, Stephen Candary decided to use a regional upgrade without letting a gal know, and so on the upgrade list guests

who bumped me. I would have gotten a first class seat with my six years of dying and it's your work status. Wait for six years of diamond status that I've worked really hard for. You know, I go out of my way to stay on that Delta flights stupid out of my way. Yeah, he I know he didn't do it intentionally, but he put He goes, I don't do the algorithms, and I was like, I got it. He put in a request for the regional upgrade. So he bumped me out of the seat. So we're boarding

and all of a sudden, I turned around. He's nowhere to be found. I'm like, where did this guy go? I moved back to Tennessee behind the net, I'm there's a clear partition of where I belong, which is in the Delta Comfort Sea. Just peeking over in the first lass, just enough to see what you're not getting. Okay. So I'm sitting there, Jose sitting right next to me. Were aisle mates, no problem. All of a sudden, regional upgrade guy comes strolling around the corner, puts he has my

bag because it was heavier than his bag. He he goes to put the back the overhead been whatever. And then I started talking to Jose, thinking like, oh maybe he's just putting it in there, and then he's back here with us. No, he SLINKs right into that to C and I go, are you in first class? It's me texting also are you out of your mind? So then he goes like this, he goes yes, he goes, baby, you can have the seat hold on one second, and I was like no, I'm like, I'm not gonna take now.

I'm the gal that has to like ask for the first class seat, and he goes he goes, I'm giving you the sea, Come take the seat, and I'm like, no, you're already there. You're already there. So he took the first class seat and the entire time you're stop right. Then he oh, but this is where it gets even better. So he's sitting in the two se right, and the whole time he's texting being like, switch with me, Switch

with me. I feel so bad. No, you didn't feel so bad when you put in the regional upgrade without me knowing and bumped me right out. I was the next in line. How did he bump you? I don't get that because you have more points than him. I do. But there's like these little certificate things that it like if the front of the line. You know the fast passes. You're a Disney gal. Anyways, because this podcast is not four hours, let me expedite the story. I'll tell you

what was six hours. The flight from New York to Las Vegas. They ran out of red wine. They ran out of coffee. No coffee, no coffee, no red one. I kept looking at Jose like, where am i? Southwest Airlines, with all due respect, their bags fly free. So we get off of this cross country flight. Can Darius in road to see I'm already like peeved. I'm like this guy, chivalry is dead and he's gonna be dead in a second because we get off to go where's my bag? And goes, they made me check it. What I saw

you go to put it the overhead? He goes, there was no room, so they made me check it. I said, you're I'm done with you. I said, not only did you take this first class seat, but then you didn't move some of the other ship out of the way to get the baggage. So now we're waiting a baggage claim in Las Vegas. I'm sober. I'm tired, exactly, I'm sober. I'm tired. My bag is going to be lost. And my boyfriend didn't give up the first class seat, so last night I didn't we're talking about he goes, No,

that makes me sound so bad. I go, because it did. You are you didn't give up your first class eat because I offered seven hunder times. I have receipts to show you. I go. I'll show you what receipt I get yours up and go get her. Yeah. He'sn't amazing. How did you guys make it? He's an amazing boyfriend, but this he's in the l column for this one. And I'd like to open it up to the listeners. Should you give up the first class seat for your gal? Yeah?

The votes are in, they're all tallied. The give up your right arm for your like, give me a break, my god, Steve. Yeah, So that's all I gotta say about that. In Delta, get some more coffee and red wine, would you? Oh? Oh? One last thing about it? That little net, the little net that they have in a little like you know, button, not button, but the little snap that's always you know, to really separate the peasants in the back from the first class. I couldn't have

snapped that things ten more time. She really wanted to make it known that I've longed back there, and you know what I do. Those are my people. Okay, they are my people too, But if my boyfriend is using my points to get an upgrade, there's something real. I mean, that was his points. It was always it was his points. I thought they were your No, it was his own points. But it bumped me out of the first class seat. Anyways, the conversation is going on too long. The point is

is that he took an boyfriend. Yeah he's got a l for that one, but that's where we're at. Oh my god. Okay, So on Friday, Jared had to work and I was home and I was just kind of over, like reading about football. Hence why I'm having anxiety attacks and carrying this with me and doing is this roster for the Kansas City Chiefs. So I decided to I never ever watch anything during this season. I'm a loser. I never take time to do it. So I sat down on Friday night, I turned on Netflix, and I decided,

I'll just watch the Pam Anderson doc. I texted you as I was getting ready to start it. You said you watched it. You were like I feel bad for her, but I love her because she was so nice to you. I'm like, why do you feel bad for her? Chris? It's all I can talk about this doc. I haven't

talked to you about it. I talked to our girlfriend, Constant, my manager and partner, and she had just watched it and cons a good person to like balance like thoughts off about docs and all that she has a production company. It was unbelievable. It was so well done. She's amazing. I love her. I loved her to begin with. There's so many things to talk about with this girl. So I want you to um so I and you've mentioned it on the podcast before, but in case people weren't

listening to that episode you Love Pam. She was on Dancing with the Stars and there was a question from one of our lovely listeners that said, like, who was your favorite guest on Dancing with the Stars, and you had said, Pamela Anderson and tell everyone why and then we'll get into the store. But I'm gonna look for

the card from You're so I'm so Psycho. So Pam was on Dancing with the Stars and she couldn't She was a contestant the same year I was, and I don't know where it is, but oh well, I was looking for a card. I thought I saved it. I did save it. It's summer. So she sent everybody for the first show flowers, and I ran the room and I read the flowers, and instead of break a leg, she wrote break a lash, Love Pamela. I couldn't even take it. And then another great thing about her, Oh

my god, it is very old. It's been here for a while. For those of you that are still listening to me, if you're interested in the color, it's too tawny pink. But I think this is too old. My my card for when I was a sideline reporter with the Tampa Bay, like three the Hoard or everyone. Okay, So another thing about pam is that she went for

our stress rehearsal of our first show. She went and did it like she was the first one to go, and she was wearing this little pink dress and she went out there and I was telling Jared the other night, she didn't know any of her steps, she didn't know any of the routine, and all she did was ran out there. She did her hair. She was and I we all watched her and Max looked at me and he goes, hey, babe, if you do that, we will win, We will be friend. You can't do that. She was

so nice to all of us. She was so lovely. Um, she was so fun to hang out with. She just and and that was the coolest part is she hang out with us losers, hung out with us losers. I loved her a lot, and watching this dog, I highly recommend it for people. It was so freaking good. I think, and I'll say this before we get into it, because you and I have not discussed it. It touched me in a certain way because of video voyeurism. Um. She I don't think any of us looked at that sex

tape and what happened to her. Um. Not that we were not thinking that way, but I had never heard her This is a better way to say it. I had never heard her speak about the violation and the invasion of privacy that it was. And one line that really resonated with me, because I know you and I both deal with PTSD from this, was that she said this had never been dealt with before, no one had ever seen it. It took such a toll on her.

It as her kids say, ruined her career, ruined her relationship. Um, when this new movie came out, she talked about how like it brought it back up. I thought so many times she was like, I don't feel good. I don't feel good, which is how I feel a lot of times. I just had never heard her articulated that way before, and my heart went out to her, and I obviously

know yours did as well. Yeah, I mean, it's an unfortunate thing that you and I both have empathy for one another, only because we went through it in different ways. But when everything happened to me, those were private videos and pictures that were taken with my boyfriend that were never meant to have someone hackened to my phone and taken. When people have even said to me the best like oh why would you know? Not people I know, but

like strangers, like why would you ever even take those? Okay, So what I always say is give me your phone, and if you don't want me to see anything that's in that phone, like, then you're just gonna open it up any email, any text message, anything. This isn't just about pictures of like, this is your private property that you don't and never think that it's going to be exposed. Um in her situation, this was a private video in

her own home that was stolen and taken. I didn't realize how it was done to I did you, I like so many things I didn't know about, right, And I just think that you know, her never making a dollar off of it, and the thousands and thousands of dollars that I have spent to try to take these things down, and these and then the cease and desist o work, and it's like, at some point you just feel like you're up against this thing that you can't win in anyways without going down a deep rabbit hole

of those kinds of conversations, because that's for another podcast on another day. But I did. I had a lot of compassion for her, and she's just so likable. She is um genuine and I even and to like she's very honest about she loves love and her falling in love, and as someone that's been divorced twice, and you know, sometimes that's looked at it's like, oh, you can't make a relationship work. It's like, no, it's because I believe

in a good kind of love. So I'm gonna keep trying until I find it, and she kind of was like had some self deprecation about herself and it too. It's like, yeah, I fall in love easily and I you know, because I just love it and I want the fairy tale and good for her. So what she's like not going to give up and just like you know, go into a hole and never come back out. I just really adored her. And I loved her performance on Broadway and get stepping out of her comfort zone and

doing something and not caring what other people thought. So yeah, so if anyone hasn't seen it, you should check it out. Her son seemed great, and I was protective of their mom, so protective. And also I didn't think about it either.

Um with the series that came out with Pam and Tommy on Hulu, and it was like either twenty years later, it's like and not like she got any money at that and it's like here, imagine like our situation being you know, made into him anyways, So um, we love Pam Anderson even more for you than you did already. So check if she did the interviews with no makeup on, and she's like everybody's seen everything, like I thought she

was so great. We just went deep there on a Monday morning, you know, you know if it That's what's great about the Calm Down Podcast. We can go surface level, we can go deep into topics that are difficult for us to talk about, and we can also say, you know what, suck them all. You know, we're still standing, Go ahead and try to knock un I just got a text while we were on air from Kevin and Greg.

I'm on a text chain with them, and they were talking about the Kelsey podcast, which is obviously a huge storyline in the Super Bowl. Two brothers for the very New Hime on different teams facing off their podcast New Heights, and they had their mom Donna on which I was listening to at five am because I was having panic attacks today, hadn't studied enough. And kept wrote, Hey, if you guys haven't heard it, the New Heights podcast with their mom is fantastic this week, and I said, oh yeah,

I already heard it. I already watched it. And Greg wrote top podcast in any category, pretty wild, and I said, easy with the top podcast. We love Jason and Travis, but and we love Travis. When he was like, hey, do you guys have any pointers for me and my brother were starting a podcast. It was after that game in Kansas City and I was like just chatting with him and he was like, yes, I want to start this podcast. You and Aaron have any pointers? He's so cute.

How about him showing up to the Super Bowl at the hat that you gave him from the interview q t Q I saw NFL on Fox put it out too, very cute. Interesting. How about that social look at that we love synergy? I don't know, but if any if we are able to have any time in the pre game together, Aaron and I are going to take it over. I'm gonna blow up that run down real quick. Because you know what, people, if you want to see Aaron and I in a pre game, vote now text one

eight hundred vote Aaron and Carissa, vote for women. There's a petition actually to have the Kelsey mom, Don and Kelsey flip the coin super Bowl. Yeah, they're fans doing this petition. I think there should be a be I well, maybe this is why we're not on that because I can't speak, but um, yeah, there should be a petition

that we take over a segment with calm down. I do leave Aaron and I really want to, you know, just give the people what they want and maybe they don't want it, but we want to spend more time together on national television. Don't put baby in the corner or do Actually, what are you looking forward to about our week in Arizona? I love so again because we've done when it's when it's our game, especially for you, um,

working the game. Your week's different because you're gonna go to the practices and your meetings and all that stuff. But I love when Fox with Patrick tomorrow. Yeah heay, you're sitting down with Patrick Mahomes for sit down interview obviously, And um, I just love when it's our game. It just you know, it's exciting to be every only every couple of years, we get the game and it's just freaking super Bowl Again. It goes back to this is what we wanted to do from the time we were

little girls, was you know, be sports broadcasters. And it's the biggest game, it's the biggest stage. And I just get so excited when I stand on the sidelines with you and before you do your first hit and you get so proud as a friend, like just like this is what we always wanted to do. It's our super Bowl of broadcasting, and so that part makes me excited.

But I also love, you know, just everyone's in the same place for one week together, and even if they're running around doing a hundred different things, it's fun to like strings and dinner and the different things that we have. Um, we've got a great group, and I know you and Kevin and Greg have had such a great year together and your whole crew that it's just fun. It's like an adult Um, I don't know, camp for a week and culminates in the big the big game. So yeah,

looking forward to it a good way I say it. Hm, my hangover is getting to guys. You know, I just really got to talk through. It's not I don't have a hangover. I'm just tired. But I do need to get a quick workout in before I shove. What are you gonna d I carry on? I don't know. I did a little. I did thirty minute bum and twenty minute arms and ax yesterday. So now I'm like, do I do the boot camp bike? But that's a lot?

What's that considered? Oh, it's so good. It's you get on your bike for eight like they have a whole like it's kind of like a Berry's boot camp, but it's on your bike. So you do the bike, then you get off and then they have a whole weight thing. Then you get back on. But it's also pellet. It's hard, but that's maybe why I don't want to do it, because it's a lot and it's hard. But you can do and you can do it. Um, what's that? What

are you doing? I just had a hair? Oh know, sure, hair of the Dog is what I need ready for a new segment. It's called in the comments and dye and slip in our comments and slip in our d and we will answer um D m at bath T Peters. I'm really interested in right now. Help me, help me. I'm really interested in this whole face shaving. Does it not grow back like stubble? Or am I missing something here? I should shave my face for a second time this week.

I do think because I'm on so many like vitamins and hair growth supplements, that I am getting real for a real Harriet and Henderson. Yeah, sad movie I'm gonna do. I'm gonna shave mine today, actually best um, because I'm going I'm leaving tomorrow and I want to be for rush. It comes back and you it's like there's a tiny not stubble like you get on your legs because the hair on your face is mine soft, like it's like little, you know, baby hairs. So when it grows back, I

don't feel it. You just I'm telling your best or anyone that's interested in this again my shaving tutorial classes. Get into some natural light because and you can check this by also going into your car and looking in the rearview mirror, because you know that lighting doesn't lie when you get in there. Whenever I do my makeup and then I go in the car and I'm like, whoa, whoa, who I mean, who got a new blush? This? Gal? Okay, So get in the natural light and make sure you

go around the corners very carefully, all right. And you know what, I'm always gonna do a video tutorial on this on the calm down, but in fact, maybe i'll go do that, um when I go upstairs later. Yeah, we need some content also. Um, I was going to pack my Derma flash okay, and she ran out. I've shaved my face twice in one week. I don't need to bring it to the Super Bowl. I need to think nothing left in her house exactly. I was just gonna say she has packed up everything in her house.

This gal, I can't wait to go to your room and just see boxes on boxes of stuff. Next one is Susanne I wade. I was this is in response to being honest about a bad haircut from a friend. I was honest. She quit speaking to me. We're not friends anymore. That's on her, okay. If she's going to be that sensitive, then you don't want a friend that

you can't be honest with. Because there's been times where Aaron's had to say stuff to me that it's not comfortable, but you got to say it, okay, because if your friends can't tell you like the truth, and who is going to tell you this? I don't need to swear about it. But Suzanne, you're better off okay, and your hair probably looks better too, because she's whoever that was was a shitty stylist. Yeah. Next breakage, Um, I don't get this one. This of course, was about our proper

powder room etiquette. That's also really hard to say. We were talking about basically, let's say it, don't take a dump in someone's powder room. Not okay, no, whether you then followed up by saying, that's like dan a ship on a coffee table. It's right at the entrance of the house. Why would you do? That? Is true? It is true. Those are nice books. Um so at Toma eight said, I'm going to need therapy now. I'm scared to enter my own powder room when I'm alone in

my house. What am I missing? I don't get this one. I know. It's just saying it is because if she goes to the bathroom in her powder room and someone walks it, I'm assuming because that's like if you even use your own powder room and someone walks out, I won't. I won't. I won't either. That's not true. That's not true. Of course I've done it. I mean it's like, I this is my house, like no one else lives here. But I yeah, I mean I will. But it's not

my favorite place. My bedroom is where I will spend most of my time, not my actual bedroom. The bathroom in my bedroom. I there's a toilet up there. It's my favorite. It's heated. That's where there was some money spent on my toilet, and I love it up there. And I'm not a toilet, Galt, but this is a good one. The heat seater. Spend your money where you spend your most time, most time the bathroom and your sheets, folks, And you don't want to shoot on your sheets because

we know someone that did that. Okaychy toto. Um. So this new segment called in the Comment and in the d m S has literally gone to ship. Thank you for dropping your comments here in the comments and d and slip in our comments and slip in our d and and we will answer. Uh here we are everyone. So yeah, you guys always have submit great questions. Please keep them coming. The next podcast that we have will be the Monday after the super Bowl and I can't
