I spent too many years of my life not wearing one because I didn't need to. And now I'm a national geographic ad. Calm Down with Erin and Carissa is a production of iHeartRadio. Are you there hello, caller? I have not talked to her all day, and there's a reason we do this so many reasons so we can discuss all of the things week one. But right now it's all about the pregame ladies and gentlemen. My marriage wedge because I have a leaving conditioner, because that's smart.
I should do that tonight too. I'm going to do that too. Hey, before I watched a Sophia Ritchie tutorial on the slick back look she does, and she did a whole thing on leave it like a hair mask while slicking it back. It's why her hair grew. I love this. Wait before we get to the pregame, I have to tell you what happened to me right before postgame yesterday. I was nervous. I haven't spoken to Jordan Love before the Love era has begun, and I'm going
through my questions in my head. I'm talking them out. And this gentleman who worked with the is it the first Down Crew, Ryan, tell me what they're called, the guys that do the first down. He goes, Hey, Aaron, no new calm down this week? I should not. You're so right. Tom Fanning from the Packers was right there. I go, did you hear that? Forget my interview with QB one. This man's concerned about no new calm down. He goes, I was waiting. It's not a new one
that's adorable. That is adorable, and you're going to retell that story on our full length podcast in case those of you can't handle us twice a week and you're the change crew. Thanks Ryan. All right, everyone, it is time for the pregame and we are off and running. Steph Brice, when do you know the relationship is over? Aha? Step into my office, Steph. To me, it's pretty simple. If there's any kind of dysfunction that is harmful physically, mentally, emotionally,
it's a wrap on that. If it's not that extreme, which is probably what you're alluding to here, I just go to worst case in there. When is the relationship over? When you don't want to try anymore? To me, it's always about the effort that you want to put in there's going to be highs and lows in a relationship, but ultimately you're not always going to like the person. But do you still love them? If you don't love them anymore, you gots to go. Don't waste your time,
don't waste their time. I think when you start resenting each other too for every little thing, and it's just like you're grossed out by everything. I think Jarrett still as well on his way to that. I have just been I've been unbearable lately and I know it and I feel bad. But anyways, I'm on the up and up, you know. Okay, Well, we can talk about that a
little bit later. And how, especially as the season is starting for us, how we can temper our selfishness in a busy time where it's like, oh, well it's our season and we're busy. Well, guess what, there's still people that need to be treated with respect. Yep. Taking it out on him. That's going to be one of my podcast topics for Our Big Show or Big Show, Our Big Show Everyone the Marquee on Radio City Music, Call, is that what it is? Okay, You're up girl? Okay,
Alexandra Keik your rists best advice for a gal. I love that starting a new job. That's what Troy at this gal great gal. Best advice for a gal starting a new job with all men, nervous but exciting. Don't be be nice, don't be here's my thing. I I feel like we all know this just in Chris and I are women, but I feel like we are so one of the guys. One of the boy's qualities was
was something I did a couple days ago. For example, I the boys will always offer to do my luggage, but I never want them to feel how heavy it is because I got a lot of shit in there. And I'm like, no, no, no, I've got it. Let them do it. But I'm I'm just self sufficient. I can take care of myself. Yes, there are times that I need some help. But like we go do that interview with Aaron Rodgers, Gillian's got her bag. He's amazing. That's what we're talking about on the Big show Love You.
He's like, let me grab it, and she's like, okay, and I said, no, I haven't. Like it's just I don't know. I just feel like you got to be one of the guys. Okay. I'm in two minds about that. I do think that being one of the guys fitting into the proverbial locker room is great. I love this. My girlfriend's daughter celebrated her first birthday the other day, and I thought the message that she wrote on Instagram
was so adorable. She said, like, to my bossy little one year old, but don't let bossy mean that, or don't don't the way that she said it, she was something like, don't let bossy be something that's I'll pull it up. It was a lot more eloquent than that. Basically, like the little girl's assertive and she knows what she wants, and it's like that may be bossy, but it's not always a bad thing. So that sort of when you're a female, which I have a boat you pick with lately,
we'll just play scrabble and use some other letters. It's called bitchy. Like when we assert ourselves were bitches. When men assert themselves, they're confident, they're in charge. It's like, I'm not apologizing anymore and I'm not the whole like you know the crazy beat, the drum that like men are the bad guys. Men are not the bad guys at all. But it's how we to me, it's how it's what we're tolerant of, Like this could be its
podcast in and of itself. If you ever feel disrespected, you need to say, hey, I'm not cool with that. Don't go cry on the side and then expect that the guys supposed to know that, assert yourself shoulders back and say do not talk to me that way or sort of. You need to set your own expectations and what boundaries that you're comfortable with, because there's a lot of times that I mean, I'm very you know, inappropriate sometimes and that some guy could be like, whoa, I'm
reporting you to HR. I'd be like, yo, just come to me, and they say, like that offended you. My meh, that's a whole other thing. So a very long winded answer to a short question is when you're working with a bunch of men, make sure that you garner their respect. But you do that by setting expectations and being vocal about what it is that you want. And that doesn't mean that you're a bitch. That means that you're self respecting. Yeah, I could do it. Don't be so sensitive, right, don't
be so sensitive. But it's funny you say that because a lot of men are so sensitive, but if we were that sensitive, there would be a discussion about it. It's just wild. Let's do a whole subject on it. Yeah, we will. Actually it induces a much. Hence why we're reacting this way, because I think there's a you know, let's get some viewers on. We should really open this up in the off season. We should have calm down podcasts where we bring on some wonderful listeners like think
like the view but not annoying. I love that. I'm going to tell you who I told or asked. I guess told too to be on our podcast Aaron, and he said he would do it. I don't know when. I mean, I know he's busy tonight, but I was may or may not. I was talking to him about being a woman in the industry and he goes, have you ever heard the Taylor Swift song called I'd Be the Man? And I was like, yes, and it's one
of my favorites. He goes, there's just a difference, and I'm like, not saying he agrees with what I was complaining about, but he's like, that's how it is, Like it is anyway, you ever heard that Usher song called trading places. It's adorable. Okay, we'll get to that later. Underwire This is a great segue. Wireless or underwire bra from CM Brow eight. No bra. I spent too many years of my life not wearing one because I didn't
need to. And now I'm a national geographic ad. I would say wireless because I don't like when it digs in. I don't I'm not well in doubt enough to always need a wire. Are we wired? Is this conversation being recorded? We're recorded everywhere. I'll tell you what. When my dog had stomach issues today at three and six in the morning, I was wearing no bra and underwear as we walked him around our neighborhood for three hours. That was awesome. Anyways, you're a good mom. I am an underwire kind of
goal just because I like to lift it up. But I will tell you, and this is going to be another conversation on our You Heard Me Big Show Skims. I got a whole segment on that ski should be segment. We'll just leave it. In fact, we have a whole segment on skims. It's called the Skinny on skims because this one is the biggest advocate, as she should and he don't tell him no, lock it up. Here's what happens.
Can you tell? It's like Aaron and I first day of school and we like just came home from class and we've like had new classmates, and I like, everyone stay with us unless you have a headache from us. Talking so fast, all right, Mayor hamso no one, Ariel Lauren. One thing about house and home and where you find fulfilling right now? That's a great question. One thing about housing, home and where if I'm fulfilling right now, I'm very grateful.
I just did a partnership with TCL, who's the official television of the NFL, and I love that they came to me and said, yes, you're you have an NFL presence hosting two pregame shows. But we also that's bragging. Yeah, she's the previous listener. This is about being a woman in man's world and being proud. For a long time, I was always like, humble. I'm not humble anymore. I'm an arrogant bitch. Now, okay, two pre games. Hey, you humble, sit down. I will sit down for at least the
next hour of this podcast. Now. I loved that they came to me and said, yes, there's the NFL presence, but we also want to incorporate house and Home because we have a ninety eight inch TV and we want you to help design living rooms for people that maybe don't know what to do with a ninety eight inch TV.
A ninety eight inch TV isn't massive, you know. So I love that there was an intersection of both of my professions and that it made sense, and it was awesome to have a brand acknowledge that and be creative and how we could intertwine the two. And that is an ad for TCL, even though I didn't intend for it to be. So thank you for the question you Erin as she's wearing wear by Aaron Andrews and that
amazing logo. I got asked seventy five times yesterday when wearing my NFL sweater at work and I text Lauren Cutie, wonderful Lauren, who runs your company? I was like, I have been asked seventy five times I get this sweater. People love it, Erin, And I'm not just saying that because you know you're my best friend. It is everyone asked where to get it, I was there was really no place to go to the bathroom yesterday at Soldier Field one note if they could make a women's room
like a giant women's and that would be appreciated. So there was one female restroom single right by our trucks, which means the men always in there. And I was standing outside and had to peece so bad and wanted to meet the boys out for pregame. And I'm like, oh, please hurry, please, hurry, please hurry. This girl walked out. It was the lovely woman that does the in house interviews and she's in a wear dress and I go, oh my god, I saw that and she had the
back on and everything. It was so cool, and she was like, can we get a picture? And I was like yes, it was really really, that's amazing. That must feel so good. Because here's what people don't understand. And you know, we know the people that are just like branding. Hey, I'm gonna tell you, and I don't even know the intricacies of how much which goes into it. But it is not a hey, I want to be adorable and
put my name on something. It is hours and hours and hours and a lot of money and time and effort and partnerships and meetings and everything to have that sweatshirt end up on your body and be your company. So kudos to you. It must be so cool to see that in stadiums and when people send in pictures and everything like, ah, it's not to mention how cute it is. Thanks Boo. Are we all out of time? I think we are. We can save the other questions next week where I said, all right, fair enough, I'll
update my chat and I'll get it together. Everyone tune in Thursday. Big Big, Huge Calm Down with Erin and Carissa is a production of iHeartRadio. For more podcasts from iHeartRadio, visit the iHeartRadio apps, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts
