Episode 179: Comfortable & Confident

season down Thursday night started for me in Philadelphia. Y'all, you did such a great job and you looked fire. Oh you're just the sweetest. I love you can wear snake skin like that. Well, look, guys, I was I was first lady on the top, mistress on the bottom, you know what I mean. Luke, Yeah, Kickley, what's he up to? Any who? Welcome everybody? I know's so sweet? Isn't it so weird to think about Luke, Keigley and

Greg Olsen as teammates. And I sat down and did that interview with them in New Orleans the day after you and I got so drunk mcdrunkers. If you were working that game and I sat down. I was like, whoa, I have to sit down with Greg Olsen and Luke Keigley tomorrow morning. And in your words, woof, I look beat up. I was so hungover from our time in

New Orleans. AnyWho. Welcome everybody to the Calm Down Podcast, And let me just tell you right now, I'm amped up because I had pumpkin coffee from Dunkin Donuts and our mug. If you guys are interested in our merchandise, please swipe up. And thank you to the one hundred thousand followers. I hope you guys are real, or if you're not, don't tell us, because we're just excited that anyone's listening. Hi, Gal, my Gal was in Detroit this week? How was it out on the road? Good game? Go

Hawks Go Detroit? Was fun? You know, all too well, because you went there after your Thursday night show to sit down with Jared Goff and the O line, which I still need to see. That is a long ass flight. It's a direct thank you Jesus, but my god, it's long. It's very misleading. I always forget. I think somebody get me a map. I always feel like Detroit's more of like Middle America, and it's the East coast time zone. You're looking at five hours? Are we coming from New York?

And is the Bahamas? Ride and Looha? Anyone but a good game. I couldn't hear your blue crush. I couldn't hear your post game. But Gino's sweet? And what did he say? Was he happy? Obviously? He actually was so calm, cool and collective. Collected not collective. I hate collect when

people still say that. Yep, but he you know, the game in regulation ended with him like taking a seventeen year loss, like Greg Olsen saying you should have thrown it, you should have thrown it, goes into overtime, then he gets the ball, marches him down the field. We get it. I'm not a highlight show. Where's Terry to do the highlights? But he goes. I think he's the best day to day I go, okay, what a cutie, but he goes. I got unded. I said, well, you just call me

whenever you need help. No, I know, I did such a good job. Hey, when you're doing your highlights, when you now you don't even say my name. You j just like Keev, you know, I'm do you take a xanax before you do it, because it's like crazy loud at Ford Field. Now we're gonna check in with Carissa for the first time today. Well, you guys saw the Bears last week and here they are against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Right now, the Bucks lead seventeen to zero. Okay,

you're it's so air things I can help. She will text me after I do the highlight into her game. Joy, I didn't know how to say it. You sounded you sense sensuous. It was like Delilah but like sexual. You were like, and the Bear's lead twenty one to three. Yeah, it's so true the sidelines, and I'm so exciting because I think she's gonna be like and Aaron is rocking that wrinkled button down Kep, You're so cute on it. But I'm like, I grabbed my phone right away. I'm like,

you are es sensuous this whole recap. She hasn't been doing highlights. Well, you scarred me for life when it was. I used to throw back because I remember as a sideline reporter when I ran slapping around on the Z crew, not with Z that was the A Crew. I was on the S crew S Corp. Which, by the way, my company is Anes Corp. And S isn't sam Corp. So when someone's like, is it an LLC, I say, no, it's an Escorp. But it sounds like escort and it really grows. I digress. It's tack season, if you know

what I mean. We got to get all these right offs. Well you're trying. But if I don't get my receipts, I know, Hey, Dionne, we're keeping receipts. We're going to get to that in a second, but I gotta and a focus. Carissa Aaron scarred me for life because I remember that I hated when a certain individual was doing highlights from the studio and would throw back and he

would only say, it is the announcers. Kurt Menafee, you hurt my feelings when I was a sideline reporter because he would do the highlights the things I do now and he would throw back. And this is not nothing against Kurt. He didn't even realize he was doing it. The time post headline is Carissa Thompson hates Kurt Menifee. Yes it is again, just put it out there. Yeah, I spell it with the seed not a k okay.

So he would just throw it back to the announcers, and I was like, oh, but I'm here too, And I just remember thinking like the name. I was like, what's a name? It's you want to name Cinda fucking Rella. It was so important to me, and so I would always throw back the highlights up until Aaron Scarby by saying everyone on the true I'd say, let's go back to Joe, Troy and Aaron. And Aaron made fun of me and said how many times can I say? Make fun? She would say, you say Joe, Troy and Aaron. So

now I just say, keV, what you got? Saints the Panthers fifteen to nothing. Wait, no, you would never say that the Saints over the Panthers fourteen to nothing. Joe, trynaeron, You're silly. Now you go. Now you say the Bills over the Commanders twenty four to seven. Okay, you know what I have to do. I'm starting taking liver. I didn't even realize how much power I had in these highlights until I'm connerying me. Yeah, but you know what,

I'm so mad about Mark Sanchez. I take shots at him all the time and he's not he's not listening. So like you guys, take thank you, Mark, I need you to start listening. I got a lot of jokes. You know who was great as those one liners you have, Mark and listen to Carissa. He's like, this will be perfect. It's like, uh, ian Igel, oh we found a blank space for uh Travis Kelsey and how long have you been sitting on that? What? You know what? I'm gonna

tell you another calmed down. All right, another headline. Chris and Aaron hate Ian Igel. You know what post will just help you out. It's a slow day. It's not a slow day if you're a New York Jets fan. I'm gonna do my quick recap, Aaron, take a load off. Here we go, here's my week two, which erin. Well, I'll start with that Jets I thought. I thought, I want I wanted so bad for you to just win that game and just shut everyone up and Zack Wilson.

It's not there yet, but that's okay. I'm still rooting for you. It's gonna be fine. Jets fall to Dallas. Dallas is really freaking good. Also thought that the Rams, uh they tie game for you know a lengthy part of that game actually even into like the late in the third quarter, and then of course San Francisco, even though they only won by a touchdown, kind of had troll of that game in the second half. Uh, they're freaking good. I mean, there's just so much talent on

both sides of the ball for them. Seattle sitting in that division. Nice went over Detroit on the road, Jared Goff's consecutive pass year without an interception broken. Of course, of this changed once that running back went out. David Montgomery there, I know good. Honestly, the lines are fun you know What's so funny though, it's like we devalue this running back position. It's like, Okay, we're not going to pay the running backs and we're not going to

draft him in the first round anymore. But then we always go back to this, you got to have a running game. You got to run the ball. How many times has you a freaking coach told you at halftime we got to run the ball, because you got to you got to run the ball, which is what the Eagles did. The Eagles freaking in that game. We're used to this aerial attack that you know, the the pike in offense, which obviously he's now Shane Sikens in Indianapolis.

But like this aerial attack, so then when the Eagles are just running the ballroom's like, oh, we're just running the ball. If it works, it works. So it's always a conundrum, this whole running back situation. But I digress. Continuing my recap of week two. WHOA, we got a real problem in Cincinnati. We are zero and two for the second straight year. And this is not the same Bengals team. We have bigger issues going on there. Also, Miami,

congratulations on your win on the road in New England. Frickin' Mike McDaniel is my favorite favorite. I want to be high at him on air, says to Melissa as she goes, what are you guys doing? Well that's working in the offense. He goes, I'm not doing anything. And then that run that he did running away from the camera. I live for this guy. I want to do that on camera one time if I do like I hit my opening hit and then just run as I as fast as

I can and have our handheld follow me. I just want And this goes into a discussion in a bit where we talk about like kind of our vibe on era right now. We've kind of had an epiphany, but I want to be Mike McDaniel. I do I do, I do? I do? I do I do. Let's just get into it. Then. The last recap is thank God the Giant, since I have them on Thursday night against San Francisco mounted that. I just said, mounted that comeback. Let's not say things like that, all right, but hopefully

San nikes six quarters without scoring a point. I want to know what your guy Dave Wall said to them at halftime, because I love him. Holy shit, you're beaking on me that you get run out by Arizona and not score like they. Daniel Jones looked like a completely different quarterby who was this guy Batman and Clark or whatever it is? He was super can and Clark kent

changing his outfit at halftime like whees it is. Anyways, speaking of things you can't say on air, love the Internet for pointing things out last yesterday for my halftime bit hit, I said Wolf on air, which we talked about, but I also said that Dan Campbell told us earlier in the week, you don't want to get in a dog fight with this team because you can't beat them off. Did she just say beat them off?

cheese in a can, like knock it off. Calm me, it's I mean, okay, there's a whole bunch of things that I could say on that bend over and I'll show you I wasn't talking to you. I wasn't talking to you, all right. Aaron and I were talking about this on the pre game when some sweet individual asked what advice we have, you know whatever, since we've been doing this for a million years in this business, and Aaron and I both said that being authentic has been

a big part of our journey. And Aaron, you said, and I'll let you speak for yourself here. That's a different show about how like you're more comfortable now being on air just being yourself. Would you like to elaborate? Are you there is your WiFi working? No? It is. I was making sure that I wasn't saying Mike McDaniel wrong. These are things I get chest pains about. Sometimes. It's like Josh Daniels like, is there an SS? Isn't there? But I was just confirming there's no S. So thank goodness,

great for us. I love it. He's a hoot in a handbag. Our conversation is hoot in a handbag, my arm. I don't know. I don't know. Look, it's like we talked about it earlier and I was having a conversation with somebody that works at another network just about the way you get treated at certain networks and the way it goes and things like that. And she had even brought up flying first class, and I said, oh, they fly you first class. That's so great. And she's like, well,

throughout your career, how did that go? And I said no, it took me ten years. I said, I would travel from Atlanta to la back of the bus, baby, and it was fine. And that's just the way it was. I was so happy to be here. That's not my point of the story. And my point of the story is worked my ass off, still do and it's finally And it's crazy to say, getting to the point where I am comfortable in my own skin, I think that's insane, but it has taken me so long. We were joking around.

I did a halftime hit with Dan Campbell coming out, and he made a comment about fast art. Duh. I mean, I'm not saying that dad towards Stan Campbell, but that's what people say after our hits, you know, like, oh, I could have told you run the ball more, we can't turn it over, and we got it down. Yeah, got a fast start, I got it. But the irony was they ended up turning the ball over to start the second half, and you knew he was going to be pissed off about that, not so much a fast start.

So I made a comment, I said, he told me about fast starts. You know he's not going to be happy about that. Whoa or something like that, and Greg just laughed while I gave the report, and for a second I thought, oh, I don't know that was so appropriate, funny. I don't need to swear it's so funny though it's so us and for a beat I thought about it on the sidelines, like should I be funny during a report like this? Terry's funny all the time in the studio,

Terry adds personality. That's why Terry's the face of Fox. It's just like, this isn't brain surgery. Now, if this was a very serious story, if my friend's being taken off in a cart for a blown up achilles, I'm not making a woof joke. I'm not making a comment like that. But it's just it's gotten to the point where I'm like, I'm never gonna be other people in the industry. I'm just not how did I get here? I have a personality, I, you know, make athletes feel comfortable.

I always wanted to be the girl that people wanted to have a beer with and watch games, because that's how I found Joe and Troy are That's what I always loved about them and wanted to work with them about So I don't know you and I just talked today, like I love your vibe on Thursday Night Football this week. I loved how you were just super chill and so much fun and I texted Steve and I said, Stella's

got her groove back, Like she looks so comfortable. And I just feel like you and I watched that Monday night game when Aaron went down together and we just kind of said to each other we got this, Like we just got it. And I don't know why we build shit up in our heads so much. So listen, you don't have to be in sports broadcasting to relate to this, or you could relate to it by having your job wherever you work. But yeah, it's pretty crazy.

How for so long, you know, you're so hard on yourself and week thirteen I may come to you and be like, I suck at my job. This blows. What am I doing? You have to pick your spots about being funny. But I just feel like you and I are at this point right now where it's like, let's just be us. Well this is us, sure is loop no. But I to echo the same sentiments is that I don't think it's even just about our job. I think it's anything in life, whether it's in a relationship, whether

it's in your friendships, whatever it is. It's just it's so much easier. And I know that we self deprecate a lot, and we lead with humor and sarcasm, and that's like a place that we're come in. But I think for the longest time is that you know, and you fill out like a whatever your job description, and I'm like, journalists, Hi, no journalists, please, I am not. I'm not. I'm a television host. I'm a broadcaster. I'm a television host. And I'm okay with not being the

smartest person in the room. But I ain't the dumbest person in the room. And I know what my strengths are. I'm surrounded by you know, wonderful athletes or other journalists or whatever it is that like bring out the best in them, whatever their strength is, and that's my job. And I think that fifty whatever, how many ever many years we're into this thing, fifteen twenty years, that it's I like that we've questioned certain things that we've done along the way of like, okay, I can refine this

little bit. Like I even joked in our pregame about different outfits. I look back and I'm like, holy shit, what was I wearing that little like hoot or this kind of this? And I'm young and I'm like not knowing any better, and I still don't know everything. My god, I'm the first to say. And we've talked about and been very vulnerable on this podcast in different interviews about stuff that's happened to us and different things in our life will make us either shy away or be more

open about things. But I just I don't know. I'm just really like comfortable and I don't really give a shit what people think anymore. And I think it's such a free place to be now. Don't get me wrong. I care about, you know, the critiques from my bosses and people in the industry that I respect or to care about. But I'm just not apologizing whether it's whatever it can be. Someone's like, you're too skinny or you're too fat. I'm getting that like lately, and I'm like,

I don't care. If I'm fat, then i'm too fat. If I'm skinny, then i'm too skinny. If it's like I have act me on my face or I don't have acting on my face, or my hair is shitty with extensions or it's not shitty with extensions, it's like, I'm just I don't really care. I'm comfortable in who I am I'm comfortable in what I do, and the only opinion that matters is that of the people I respect in my bosses who employ me. So outside of that, like, eh, whatever,

wolf Wolf. You know, it's like that report. I die for it, I really do. It's so good because who are the people that we live on television? Charles Barkley, bark Terry Bradshaw, Gronk like being themselves? You know. I asked my boss the other day if he wanted me to relay some advice to somebody that was looking for it, and he goes, yeah, tell them to be themselves. So yeah, that person wasn't me, But I'm gonna take it. And that's me. I mean, I know when to knock it

off and all that. But listen, guys, I think what the point here is Yep, yep, that's that's what it is. I've got to be the headline of this. Aaron Chris, I think they're perfect. Yep. That's the one. Speaking of headlines. For those of you that know the Thanks. Thanks, I'm

a professional. I'm not okay. So on Thursday Night, Tony Gonzalez Hall of Famer seventeen year career in the NFL been a broadcaster for years, and we're sitting there postgame Jalen Hurts and Jason Kelsey on the set in Philadelphia. Congratulations you're now two and zero. Nice win over the

Minnesota Vikings. And Tony asks Jason about Travis Kelcey and Taylor Swift, and right when he did the interview, Oh God, I was like, no, he did not, because my initial thought was like, oh, Jesus, this is probably the last thing that Jason wants to talk about, right whatever. But then I started laughing because Tony can get away with it. I'm not going to ask the question because then it's going to be like, oh, the girl on this set ask the question. Also whatever. I think that we should

take some credit if this is in fact true about Jason. Jesus, Chrissa, can you talk? I'm fired Travis and Taylor If it is true, who were the biggest advocates for this relationship? You and I? You and I, t Y, that's a unity. So Travis Kelcey, of course, being having rumored to been dating Taylor Swift. So Jason answered it in a very politically correct way. He said, I've seen the rumors. I cannot comment. I don't really know what's going on there.

I know Travis having fun. Good for you. For you, I hope you are, And get us some tickets to her next concert. It's a cool crowd. Some No, we've got tickets. Her people are great, they said, whenever we want to go, we can go down with it. Here's my thoughts on it. People have asked, yes, we should get credit because we were basically putting it out there. I mean, Taylor, I'm sure, is a huge fan of this show. We just said, the guy's awesome. We love him,

he's one of our people. Like, good dude, how could you not be a fan of his? We are, We're huge, huge fans. So yeah, I mean, do I hope it's true? For sure? Absolutely? Am I seeing him this week in Kansas City? Yeah? Did I put it out on our Instagram? Hey Taylor, if you want to come hang on this like, maybe she's interested what the job is like, Maybe she wants to such. I think she wants to shout a sideline,

you know, Yeah, that'll be the headline. Aaron Andrews things Taylor Swift wants to shadow work, sure, just don't wear heels. She won't because she's normal and fine it'll be great. Hey, Taylor, my mouth is a little dry. Can you grab me some water. That's usually what happens on the shadowing. Hey do I have anything up my nose? How are my teeth? Lunk? Great first hit. I'll show her how to fluff your hair without a hair person. Just bend over, it'll be great.

That is a great trick that Aaron taught me years ago. Pretend like you dropped your pen and then just bend and snap. We've all seen it. Yeah, legally blonde. I hope they're dating. I do. He's great. I don't know her. She seems great. I feel like they are complete opposites of what they've dated before, and I think it's awesome. Yeah, we're into it. So I hope the next headline we read next week is they are officially a couple and that weird picture. I wouldn't be able to calm down.

Re few, Okay, our next headline, you need to read this because you're very passionate about this. It's so disgusting. It's so disgusting. Wearing this item to bed is worse than sleeping in a toilet. Experts say, speaking of this, I'm going to take a beat here. I thought of you yesterday. When we are in Detroit. We have fifteen minutes to get our outfit on that we've been wearing since eight am.

love loafers. I don't care. And I was balancing in between, like getting my sock on and not wanting my sock to touch the ground, and then getting my shoe on, and then I got on the black cil. It's everywhere all over. It's such a scene. Okay, both helens for anyone that doesn't know when you're working the game, especially on the AstroTurf and like a dome, which, by the way, let's remove that AstroTurf is only going to cost a couple million dollars. Those black little pellets from the AstroTurf

just everywhere go. They're all over my closet right now, Okay, Wearing this item to bed is worse than sleeping in a toilet, experts say. Researchers are urging urging people to stop wearing unclean socks to bed after discovering they often contain the same bacteria found in cockroaches and their fecal droppings. Also, fecal are discussed is also a disgusting word, a sixty's species,

a sickening. Seventy percent of those sock wearers don't bother changing into a clean pair before bed, instead saying staying in the same pair that they've worn all day long. That is disgusting. Now, Also, why are we wearing socks to bed? Just like, even if they're clean sucks. Aren't you getting too hot? And then it's like, I don't like you lose one? Where is it what? I don't get it? And don't I mean if it's cold, like I mean, there's I guess an element of that, but

that is so growl. I'm also just so grossed down. I know I've I've said, Okay, we get it, Chrisa, like you love taking it seven hundred million showers for like cleanliness. But how ladies, I need to know or Ben they were make ups? How can you get in bed without like washing off the day? Like, think about all the places your hands have been, what they've been touching, you've been tolling, door handles, the makeup on your face, Like, don't you want to just rinse off? Yeah? I do.

My problem is this, You know what I like in these hotels and stuff. So I'm either in the slippers that they provide or sometimes you do that older hotels, I wear the slippers. Yeah, because this is my other thing. This is a whole disgusting OCD eighty D thing. Okay, ready, here we go some hotels in town that we stay at, are they have gross carpet? Like I okay, so if I'm walking around in my socks, then I have to

here's my disgusting thought, jump into the bed. I don't want to step into it because what if my leg or like arm touches where that sock was because I'm not gonna not have a sock on in that disgusting carpet. Yeah, and then I'm laying in the cockroaches and their fecal droppings. And now we have a real conundrum on our hands. Headline, Aaron Andrews thinks she's too good for hotels with carpet. All right. The next wait, I need, I need. This is the headline from a couple of weeks ago that

we didn't get to and I can't scroll back. I don't know that it was the headline where the guy got on the flight without the wife because she took too long. I loved it, am Okay, So anyone that remembers my brand about Steve taking my first class seat and not offering it up to me, and I'm sitting in the back and like I went on a whole thing about that, Steve would never now get on a play without me. I mean, this guy would take planes, trains and automobiles after the fact that I dreamed him

for that last thing. But I need to know more about this guy. All right, here's the headline that I love husband abandons wife during connecting flight for being late. So dramatic Where was she in the connecting flight? Is she in the bathroom? I waited as long as I could until the attendant told me it was the final call, and I boarded without her. My wife called me a couple of minutes later, telling me they won't let her board, so I needed to let the flight crew know I

have to get up the flight to join her. I refused and told her to book a new ticket once she arrived. She seemed to unbothered by the whole situation. But the whole point is that she during the short layover on our connecting flight, my wife wanted to go to Starbucks. I told her we didn't have enough time. Okay, we get it. She wants to go to Starbucks. This guy gets on the plane and it's phenomenal. I love this. Hey, I warned you. I took Here's my thing in life.

If I tell you don't, we're not okay. You're gonna end up with the consequences. I told you we don't have enough time. If you still want to take the chance and go to Starbucks, then and you miss your flight, that's on you. There's consequences for your action. I like, so can I Yeah, I don't my husband would never do it to me, but if we missed our flight, he wouldn't speak to me. He just can't. He can't

deal with that. By the way, I got told after we did the bit about him getting scared at night and being like, ahh, he was like, what do are you running out of material that you just have to share that at our dinner he said that. At our dinner, He's like, let's leave daddy alone here. I was like, I love you so much. Can we talk about those lines at the air you were running out of material? I'll tell you he's running out shut these chicks on television. Okay,

I'm going to tell you right now. I'll take you right down to Joe and Fabric, so we're going to get some sleeves on those things so I can't send both shoulders. What happened? Are people like? Are they just not wearing a lot of clothes? I'm not seeing a lot of things. Okay, I'm gonna tell you. I'm gonna tell you what happened. Okay, I'm gonna tell exactly what

happened my news. Okay. Travis and Jason Ivy Healing Pillar of Morality Carrissa Thompson's got some advice for the young girls out there, okay, because lord knows, I've had seven hundred million outfits where it looked like I was doing the walk of shame when I showed up on Sunday morning. But I've learned my lessons. Okay, I don't. I'm fine with oh. Through the years, yeah, the wonder years. Uh,

Fred Savage, I was savage. I'm about to be savage with this common You want to show your arms, no problem. You want to show your legs, no problem. I wore a sleepless dress and a shorter dress you look on television on Sunday. But then we got a high neck. We got to pick our spots here, ladies. We can't go if you're wearing a off the shoulder item and they take that three box and it's this and I don't see any clothes. I just see shoulders in that three box. And now I've got a wonder are you

wearing clothes? We've got a probe. I justn't the shoulder outfit I'm gonna wear this year for a sit down, Well, I'm not gonna like it if you're if it cuts you off, because I'm I'm not gonna I'm gonna need to see. It'll be a sit down. You'll see the whole thing like it's well, you might be sitting down for the rest of the year after that with that outfit. I don't know. I just I need to I am not saying that. I am, like I said, I've had

some real choices and outfits. But I just am seeing a lot of gals taking liberties and I don't want to turn on the TV on Sunday morning and wonder, are you going to the Oscars. No, I just I've got I'm gonna teach a class do's and don'ts of this. Uh oh, Ryan says thirty minutes, I think this is a good I want to continue talking about this. I haven't noticed this because I obviously you're sitting in a studio now. Last night I'm wearing or yesterday, I've buttoned

down on that. By the time I'm on a camera's freaking wrinkled. It looked like like a shitty wrapping paper. I was like, oh my god, like this is awful. I was like trying to blow hot air on it because it was already so wrinkled. But I thought much now with the air dryers before. I was in the women's room like blowing it because I was like, this looks so bad. It looks so good at one o'clock kicking, I look like I'm trying to your paper. Oh my god.

It looked terrible. Anyways, but I love my pants and that outfit. It was very chill McGee. I love the designer and all that that I got my outfit from. But I just, I don't know. I feel like sometimes we're in a happy medium here. We're like, dress up but cover up. I don't know, we're old, we suck. I don't know. Yeah, you guys all I'm saying. All I'm saying. And this doesn't just mean like on television.

Actually yes it does. If we're strutting into the office and you I don't know if you're going out for the night or if you just rolled in from the night, I don't know. I just it's because I'm old now and I'm just, you know, trying to look out for

these young gals, you know. AnyWho, If you could say what a staple outfit is for television that you think you would recommend to those that are not as old as us, what would that be I love a freakin' boss bitch suit, Like, give me a vest and a tailor jacket and some great pants like I'm all in on that or dress that's just like, oh you tailor sings? Now, how I change Taylor swept and tailor in your clothes.

On this week's episode of Calm Down, Hey, before I get in trouble for my wardrobe brand, Ryan, our producer who's wearing a Calm Down shirt that we are going to take a picture of because he's adorable, is reminding me that on the pregame I mentioned it's fall, Pumpkins all the rage, as it is every fall. Aaron likes pumpkin smelling things with candles, but not flavored things. I'm in the word loaf. She does not like that, and it reminded me of a story for all of you

San Francisco forty nine ers fans out there. Congratulations, you are two and zero and off to a roaring start. You're taking on the New York Giants this Thursday on Thursday Night Football on Time Video the Billboard Alix Love you So. George Kittle told me that he's got a superstition now before every game that he has to eat a pumpkin loaf because Fred Warner was eating a pumpkin loaf from Starbucks one game, asked George if he wanted some.

Then George went out and scored like two or three touchdowns. So now before every game he eats pumpkin loaf. And we got in a whole conversation of power ranking the best pumpkin loafs. My number one Bristol Farms, which reminds me I need to pick up some because I'm gonna give it to him during the game, like the little cute he is. So I don't know where this is going,

but I just want you to know. If you guys are San Francisco forty nine ers fans, you can bring pumpkin loaf for George Kittle and he will like it. The word loaf is disgusting. I'm sure that our podcast numbers will probably go our Instagram numbers will go down after this rant. So to the ninety nine thousand followers, thank you. We love and appreciate it. And here's the other headline. We're gonna see Aaron and Chrissa totally critique

other sideline reporters and I think everyone's style don't care. That's not we're saying. I'm making fun of myself because you've got that James d D dream look, no style. You know what, yes is exciting. Sorry, everything can come back to her. Well, if I interview him postgame, it's gonna be really hard for me not to be like I would never do that to him off camera, which then they use on television in the quarterback and no one asked me, rude, I'm gonna ask Patrick to Holmes about that.

I'm doing all my triple chins. Love you, guys, That's it. That's all I got for you. Have a great week. Say something nice to someone today.
