Episode 236: Pregame - Hair! It's a Journey

I was showed up on the sidelines looking like Lisa Lobe. I had glasses and black hair, and the week before I had Barbie trying something hair.

It's a journey. It is my Larissa Thompson.

Calm Down with Aaron and Carissa is a production of iHeartRadio. It's pregame and guess what. It's the draft this weekend. I mean, our lives, as we like to say, are over. But that's very exciting. I'm excited to like the football's back in the conversation. Were in the conversation with you guys and your fun questions so good. But let's do a disclaimer.

Yeah, what a bad mood.

No, but I thought we would both be super hungover today because we went to a little sore for our friend and instead the aggravation, aggravation and frustration of a call and text you left me of losing your wallet potentially in an uber. Dear Uber, this is a PSA. I've left a message to messages on the driver's voicemail. I know Chris's husband has left a message. She just got her brand new license. She left her wallet in his car. Sir, you were great with your tunes, with

Please? And thank you? I know I'm so annoyed at myself.

Have you guys ever done this where it's like and it's like a purse that doesn't close all the way.

It's like open and it's trying to be like, oh, it's such a cute curse.

And I put it in the backseat not paying attention and I didn't check. So yes, dear overdriver, please call me back, Please call me back.

But I got to say I was crying this morning to you about losing my wallet because I have to get on a plane today and I already thought I lost my passport.

But I got that back, so at least I have that.

But I'm just like I at least appreciate American Express and bank cards that let you order that thing in twenty four hours and they, you know, like are sending it like AMEX is like you'll have your new replacement card by tomorrow.

That's amazing. Side note, this is for the big show.

Actually, I'm going to tell you something that I discovered this morning. The tease is that American Express things. I've been a member with them for forty two years. Well, now they're going to living No, they're not. They're not going to fix it. Loyalty. It's their mistake, and I am a very loyal American Express person. I'm going to explain this.

That's adorable. It's it was a mistake they made, but it's to my benefit. AnyWho. Dear Uber driver, please send me my wallet back.

We weren't even drunk, no, we and that's we were having great breakthrough conversations. Also, to steal a line from Steel Magnolias, I don't know what you're feeling on the inside, but on the outside you look fantastic, Like when Milan was at the funeral. Was great because I blowed dried my hair leaving conditioner at the party yesterday. I had to wear a hat because I fell asleep and it took a nap and my leaving conditioner was left in for Oh. I mean, my hair's probably never felt healthier.

By the way, this hair is a cracking off and I don't have any money now to pay to fix it. Okay, enough of my place here we go pre game. We love you guys, thank you for writing it. As always, we got Melanie ten twelve. Does it irk? First of all, I love the word irk. Does it irk you too? When people walk in the middle of the parking lot? Zero awareness?

Melanie?

Fantastic question, and absolutely it irks me. Do we just think that, like the parking lot is for pedestrians last time I checked.

Parking lot is for cars.

Look behind you and if you see a car, speed it up or move off to the side.

I'm with you, Melanie, it's so.

And you know what, there's zero awareness for a lot of things in life.

People just think the world's going to revolve around them.

I'm going to wait to get out of this parking lot so you can saunter your ass slowly across this Tjmax parking lot.

Let's go.

We all got places to be. I not without a wallet. I don't spatial awareness in general, just when people don't have it pisses me off. Kendra and I my sister, have actually created a tune. It's very easy to learn.

Spatial awareness is amazing.

Or you could throw in you don't have spacial awareness and you should get it. I can't stand when people have black of spatial awareness.

It's crazy toll for me.

Fright, So are you guys at a restaurant and someone's standing really close to you, and you'll start singing the song.

Restaurant, bar, Disneyland, wherever, like you here too, And then I can see you guys also doing a little jazzer size move with the song.

I mean, I could break out to a full chorus.

I mean, forget Taylor Swift's forty five songs she launched this week, we could do seventy five about spatial awareness.

I'm with you.

I that's something for the big sure that we can have a conversation about. Because you and I discussed it.

We need a road.

I have so many questions comments we're talking about it. I need to stop guide. Last night, when I got home from the party with you, I stayed up for another hour and a half reading about all the Easter eggs Taylor Swift puts in all of her songs and videos. I got to go over some things with you. We got a lot to talk about this weekend, Amy together. This weekend a Amy is Amy is our new go to. Oh okay, you're up, girl, Patrick, cue like that? Aaron,

And I'm going to tell you because firsthand I saw it yesterday, prior to losing the wallet. The highlight of my car ride was us facetiming with Mac and the second that he sees you, he went ah, and it

He knows his mommy, and it's so sweet. It's really sweet. Tommy's struggling making him happy. But I'm trying to figure it out. That's not trude, No, you aren't. He's a baby. It probably has nothing to do with you. It's like all relationships. His sadness in certain moments has nothing to do with you. He's just going through a lot. You know, he's teen. Ooh, Anonymous, we have an anonymous question for you. Oh we do It's great? Yeah, okay, fantastic.

What do we have?

Friend started a rumor I slept with a guy had a girlfriend, and now years later wants to be friends again.

Yes or no?

Oh well I have a track record with letting people back in my life that I shouldn't. Hello, that's a Taylor Swift song which number twenty six. I mean I know, no, no, absolutely not. I'm at a place in my life and I'm not sure Anonymous where you are at your age.

But I would say.

This the whole like, you know, burn me once, shame on you, burn me twice, shame on me thing uh huh, burn me once, bye bye, Like we're we're not waiting for second and third and fourth chances. If this person is going to do that to you back, then they're going to do it again in some capacity. It might not be as harsh maybe whatever, but no, like you're starting a rumor that you slept with the guy that had a girlfriend and now you want to be friends.

Absolutely not. There are too many wonderful people out there in the world that can be your friend. You do not need to waste time on someone that has already shown you.

Who they are. We talked about this a lot yesterday.

It was a totally different circumstance on our way back from our girlfriend's birthday party. Just the group of people that were there, and a lot of them are my friends that you have met casually before. But they love you, you know, want to be I almost started a tech chain with you in them with you and them today, but knew the wallet situation so didn't want to go there yet.

But make me happy.

They're great, great, But you show up for people, you don't start rumors about them f that. No, I guess you could be like give somebody a chance like you mentioned, But I'm good. I'm just him at this point. You and I discuss it all the time. I don't need that in my life. I need people lifting me up. I'm talking about you nicely in the room when you're not there.

Don't you see that meme a lot lately all.

The time, And I think it targets me for the algorithm, because I want all the support that I can get when I'm not in a certain room. But no, it is, and I'm the queen of a quote and I love it. But my friendship circle has gotten a lot, a lot smaller, and that is by choice. And I've never been happier knowing that. Like, I don't need a ton of friends, I just need really good friends and those and this anonymous is not a really good friends. So keep it moving, sister.

Oh my god, here's a teaser. I just saw one of the tip one of our headlines for the Big Show. I can't wait to discuss it.

What do we got? We'll talk about it in the Big Show. There's a tea.

But meanwhile, Kate Evelyn one one one, CHRISA, tell us about your short short hair phase. I think that's her tinker Bell phase.

I loved it. I love our hair right now and there's no extensions and it looks good. No extensions right now.

My whole hair journey has been documented by Google searches that I have had some real doozies this.

I have a lot of moisturizer on those listening.

I was the short short phase, as I like to refer to it, my Susie Orman.

It was.

It was something that I was like so down to do because I had been. I had like the worst set of hair extensions like for years and years, and shout out to Rihanna, who is an incredible hairstylist. I only trusted her to do it. I was like, I want. I found this one picture of this girl. I thought she looked so sexy with like short hair, and it was do you remember it was no? I mean I have the picture still.

It was just some random like not like a actress or anything, but it was a random girl and I thought she looked so incredible. So I brought into Rihanna and I was like do this and she's like, are you sure?

And I was like yeah, cause that's like you take all that hair off, and it's like you better like feel good about yourself because that is a hairstyle that a you have to do and it's not like, oh, you're rolling out of bed like it has to.

That is one thing about short hair. You have to do it way more than long hair.

Like long hair like you could just take that ponytail down and you're like, judh it up and you're ready to go. I did, like you up in a clip and you and you like let your things down and you look great tundrels. You know, I think that short hair is more high maintenance than long hair. But I have always had shitty hair just because I fuck with it all the time. But to answer your question, my sweet Kate Evelyn eleven one one one, I won't ever do that again. This is as short as I will go.

But it was.

I'm happy I did it at the time of my life. I wouldn't do it as I keep getting older. I'm like, that was a hairstyle for like the mid twenties. If you're gonna take a chance, do it when you're younger, not when you're older, because then you're like, mom cut without I'm not even a mom.

Yeah, Kristen wigg and the Target added, which by the way, is so good. The commercials are so great. You know what I would think about with that haircut is I like, this is so psychotic and stupid of me, like to have a little ponytail in pilates or berries.

You're not having a ponytail.

With no no, no, no, no, You're you're there's nothing on the neck.

There's there's a breeze coming through.

You're getting burned back there, you're getting frostbite.

There's nothing to protect the neck.

Wow.

No, yeah, okay, you really do?

You need to put some makeup on because it's like, oh shit, it is like what wolf.

In the morning.

There's a certain guy that has to be with you for that haircut too. Not all guys are down for that, Like are you at the behind?

Are we this a boy or girl?

Was I? No?

I was at I was at Extra, I was at Extra and Fox.

Yeah I did Lisa.

It was shout out to Lisa Grigorge, all the bosses that I've had, I will just do these hairstyles, like when I went black, Like I just dyed my hair black and then showed up for work the next day and they were like yo, Like I was showed up on the sidelines looking like Lisa Lobe. I had glasses and black hair, and the week before I had Barbie trying something.

And I'm trying something.

But I remember all my bosses, especially Lisa, was like, hey, can you not do this every week like something different, like we're going for consistency, Like we had shot all of our promos, like all of our stuff for the new season, and I come strolling in with shorty swing my way.

Anyways, hair it's a journey. It is Arsa Thompson.

We're going to go a little longer on the pregame. I'm taking liberties and making that announcement here because this is such a great question, and I know Chris and I get so fired up about this cass G seventeen. What to do about men who think they know sports and give wrong stats at the bar. I wish Jared lee Stole was here right now because he would go like this, head down shake.

It is a It is not.

A good time with us when we are at a bar and someone starts yapping away about sports in general. Don't know what they're talking about, give wrong stats, give stupid opinions.

I misinformation.

Where you're like that, You're like, that's not actually what's happened at all, But go ahead and so out. If you want to keep petch wow perpetuating that rumor, go for it.

I tend to think I am like the player that got drafted late in the draft.

I have a chip on my shoulder because this justin. I'm a woman.

I work in sports actually get to hear and learn about a lot of things the average show doesn't. And I'm not saying anything poor like rude about that, but it always feels like a challenge at a bar when somebody starts to yap it away and given their two cents. I got a neighbor. I'm not gonna I'm gonna say it. I got a neighbor that's a forty nine ers fan.

Here we go.

I'm like, oh really, Oh yeah, because because what didn't you like about that?

Oh?

Because but you know that the backup but Drake Greenlaw got hurt, so that probably didn't hurt them at all.

I mean, I'm getting like sweat emotion. Now, how do you feel about this question? I don't like it.

I've gotten into it. I know this sulper shocking for everyone. I had an airport bar after I've come from. I don't know whether it's working a game or whether it's having done an NFL Films interview about the guy like sure. My favorite is like when it was Brandon Graham that I was doing an interview with last year for NFL Films.

Incredible individual, has played great Eagles. I think he's going into his like fifteenth year. Family is great. Family is incredible. And I'm sitting there in Philadelphia at the bar, and you know the guy that wants to be like, oh, so what do you do? And I'm like, oh, and I always go I always go.

Through the TV. I'm right there.

I'm going for the lowest thing. I was like, oh, I just work in sports. And he's like, oh, what do you do? I was like, oh, I work for Fox at Amazon.

He's like, but what do you do?

So I'm like, okay, So now we're on the third follow up questions and now I'm finally gonna say it, okay, Like I ho was this?

Oh what are you doing?

In Philly? I did an interview with Brandon Graham. Oh he retired a few years ago. He didn't retire. I just sat down with him. Yeah, no, no, he retired a few years ago. I said, sorry, sir, I don't mean to be rude, but I just sat down with him. He's going into his whatever said fifteenth season. No, no, no, I know he retired a few years like. He's like adamant about it.

Now.

Finally, I'm like, who's the idiot, the person that argues with crazy or the crazy. So at this point I go, oh, you must know better than I do, no problem, And he's like, oh, well, now you have an attitude. I'm like, you're well, now I'm the asshole. It always comes back to this because I actually know the information, but you are now embarrassed because you're wrong.

I'm the asshole. No problem.

You know what, sir, how about I just buy you a drink and you go sit on the other side of the bar.

Because I'm bored of this conversation.

This happens a lot more than it should, and you know this, I should probably just go to Hudson News and get a book not rude exactly.

If I were a man, I'd be the man.

And no, Brandon Graham's still playing love just sign a new deal right one ear?

But no, he retired years ago. Oh okay, Well, you're retired. I'm you should retire from your cocktails.

Bye, a big show. We have a lot to say. Hopefully the uber driver calls me in the middle of the big show. That would be a great call.
