Calm Down with Aaron and Chrissa is a production of I Heart Radio episode thirty one. For those of you keeping track at home, thirty one in your playbook, number one in your heart. Hello Aaron, we are in your week. Well, we're week three of the NFL season and podcast number thirty one. We have our good friend and colleague Peter Schreeger on the podcast today. For those of you that ever watched Quarantine, Q and A was a little show that we did to all stay together talking about football.
Was on what did we were on digital? Whatever we were on and every now and then we made it on a TV. Who knows, but um, we love Schreeger and we have got a gat story for you guys. We had a great dinner over the weekend with a lot of hilarity that ensued. So he will join us later. How is your week? You were actually off on a Sunday? Was that weird? Well? I facetimed you feeling very hungover. But yeah, it's always weird because you feel like you
need to be just like involved, know the storylines. I mean, I was texting you nonstoppable about what you were hearing about injuries watching the Carolina game watching the Tampa game. Um for our games this weekend. So it's just crazy. Mondays are nutty for me when I have two games in one week because you're trying to get you know, everything done before you leave on Wednesday, and then you've got a game Sunday. We've got something to go to
on Saturday. It's a whole situation, you know, a whole situation. Since we were on here last week though, you went to Washington for your Thursday night game and there was a You've been really great on the I g By the way, for those of you that don't follow us on Instagram, we should. Aaron puts amazing stuff on there. I'm still working. I need to be better at Calm
Down podcast check it out yep. And also she's wearing our Calm Down sweatshirt which if you want any of our merch Calm Down pod dot com for all of that. How cute was Brittany who does my makeup on Sundays and her mom, Jeanette, works at Fox. I saw her in the hallways and she had a Calm Down sweach. She bought it, so I thought that was very sweet. But um, you had a game on Thursday in Washington and it was a torrential downpour. What are we doing that you put the rain pants on? When my hat
pants come off? I had full gear on. It was a Trenchell downpour. There was shelter in place, flooding all the things. For pregame. I was excited to get out on the field, talk to the guys as they're warming up. Grab sterling shepherd, grab you know, say Kwan, see how he's doing, grabbing some guys from the defense. And all of a sudden it's raining, cats and dogs. I am way too old to be out there in the pouring rain.
I was like, nope, Ben, They're done that. So I just stayed in front of their locker room and waited for them to come out and said kid to guys, and they were all making fun of my head to toe rainpants, raincoat, rain hat. And then literally four minutes before my first hit, it stopped raining, and I was like, f this, And I ripped it all off and still had my rain boots on and did the thing. And the game was crazy, like I thought, Actually, Daniel Jones,
I had New York sideline. It was crazy. Um Taylor Heineke, I screwed his name up on halftime and that, and you're beating yourself up over it, and I'm like, you're human, and you know his name is Taylor, and we're fine. I apologize Taylor not Tyler. Um. Yeah, I know. Those are the things that give me chest pains. You could do a total like a game and it could go well, it didn't go my side's way, so I didn't have
the postgame interview. But then you get in the car and you look at Twitter and people are like, you dumbass, it's Taylor, not Tyler, and it ruins your night, ruins your night. But I think that there's a lesson in this, and we were talking about it actually a dinner. How much I appreciate how hard you are on yourself after something like that, because you're the top in this industry at your job and you still beat yourself up over it.
And what I equated that too, is you know, the Tom Brady's of the world and the guys that are at the top of their respective sport and still beat up on themselves for the mistakes that they made. And so I can appreciate that you're competitive. I can appreciate that you appreciate appreciate, appreciate, and appreciate that you respect your position enough to make sure that you do it correctly. But you're also allowed and Aaron, no one's questioning your intelligence.
My favorite is when Twitter is like you're an idiot and they use the wrong use of yours. So you know what, We're good here. Okay. So that was Thursday night, and then you got to watch games on Sunday, so that's always fun and excited about the Monday night game tonight to see how Green Bay rebounds. What do you
have going on? Because I feel like it will. You have been teasing, Okay, So you and I communicate throughout the day, all day every day, and I was like, wanting to tell you this story as it was happening in real time so bad. But I was like, I'm gonna save it for the pod because I'm dying to know your take on it. Okay, So I'm gonna set the scene. I take the dogs. Days that the dogs
can I talk. The days that the dogs don't go with their dog walker, I take them to the dog park because I always feel like you have to, you know, these big dogs me to run go to a dog park right by my house. Been doing this for years years. I mean Willis have had Willis eight years. I've had Daisy four years. We get it. Normal day at the dog park and all of a sudden, I'm walking towards the game to go grab Daisy because I'm gonna put
her collar back on and we're gonna leave. And I see a police officer walking into the park and I was like, someone's in trouble. And the police officer goes, whose shepherd is that shirling shepherd? No? I said, it's it's mine. Why And he goes, do you have a license for the shepherd? And I go, I don't know what that means. Yeah. I was like, I mean I wish he could drive. I mean I do would love
a driver. Um, Donald driver, Okay, stop playing this game. UM. I was like, I don't have a license for the dog. I was like, I adopted her, Like do you want that paperwork? Like what do you mean a license? And he goes, oh, then you're gonna be You're gonna be fined. And he pulls out his little tax and I go, what are you talking about? I've never I go, I've never heard of this in my life. And he points to this obscure sign that is freaking in the other
side of the park. And he was like, it says very clearly in the Santa Monica jurisdiction you need to have a license for your dog. And I was like what. So then Kyle's with me um in the dog park and he was like, sir, husband's a lawyer, yeah, and I and I will help him use it. And so I was like, well, so Kyle intervenes, because at this point you better walk. I'm not going to start questioning authorities. And now I'm in handcuffs and we've got a whole problem.
Calling the mild mannered person, He's like, sir, what's the problem here, And he was like, as I was telling your wife, you need to have your dog license. Meanwhile, I'm going to get Willis now because I'm like, we're out of here. And I go, sir, you're gonna give the all these other people in here a ticket too, and he was like, well, I can only give one ticket at a time. Meanwhile, like little ants, everyone's fleeing the dog park because they see what's happening. And I go,
there's there's a ticket. There's I'm pointing at everyone. They're leaving the dog party, go hold on, wait, you gotta give them a ticket. I'm now, I'm like, how much this offense you've committed? Or thank you? So I go and get Willis and he goes, wait a minute, you have two dogs? And I go yeah, and he goes, well, I'm gonna give you a courtesy and only give you a ticket for one. I go absolutely not, sir, I said, I am not a rule breaker. I said, you give
me a ticket for both of those dogs. Don't do me any favors. It's a hundred bucks per dog. What what did you do? What? Literally? For what exactly? Why? Exactly? And who let the dogs out? Not me anymore? Not at that part you did with Paul Blart mall cop I said, I literally, I was like, do you have nothing to do today? What's going? Did he even have a gun? And I didn't see a gun? I didn't. Well, then you know what that's when people say I'm dating a model, Well, let me know she's been in Vogue,
she's not let me know, yeah, a real model. So I was then at this point again, I'm like, I'm so angry, And while he's taking his sweet ass time to fill out everything other than my social Security number on this ticket. Right. I was like, you know what, I'm not going to leave my dog on a leash. I let them both off. I go, guys, run around, run around, because I was like, I'm Kyle. Of course, is like trying to get me under control. And I was like, sir, does it make you? And then I
saw the body camera. I was like, christ I lock it up. Okay. I was like, let's not out of control. So I just politely took my ticket. After that, I gave him the correct address and I was like, you know what, I will look into seeing how I can license my dog. I'm sorry that I'm at the dog park. So as this is happening, another girl starts to walk into the dog park and I'm like, I'm going to save her. I'm I go, do you have a license for your dog? And she goes what I go exactly,
I go, go, I go get out of here. You're gonna I'm not kidding. She's like opening up the gate. I go over to her. I put my hand on the small of her back and I'm ushering her out of the dog park. I was like, leave, leave, now, leave. I'm sorry. I'm out there doing so, then you'll appreciate this. The next day, I'm like, fuck it, I gotta go back to the dog park. The dogs need to run around. So I took my ticket. I taped it to my chest.
I went back to the dog park, and if Paul Blart was there, I was gonna say, I already got a ticket for this, and I'm working on it. I've got thirty days, according to the citation, to get a license. So every day I show up at this dog park in between, I'm gonna take that ticket to my chest. And I sat there in at the dog park with the ticket on my chest, parts clothes, moves out front, and have told you that's a little John Candy security line for you. Um, that is crazy. How are people
supposed to know that? Are you joking, sir? Like you're not trying to break the law? What is this really? I think things to worry about out there. Could someone figure out the COVID mass before we're ticketing? I mean, what license to kill? What are we doing? I mean, honestly, I I go, oh, I'm sorry that I was adopting a dog like like that, I was like stood on my high horse of adoption. Like we're living anyway. So for those out there that I've never licensed your dog,
don't go to the Santa Monica dog park. This guy, I mean, I get a question because here I started thinking conspiracy theories. Do you think somebody told on you? Do you think somebody saw you out there and somebody
told Well? The only reason I feel like he didn't is because or that it wasn't a conspiracy, because the one remaining soul in the dog park after we left saw him walk up to like try to give somebody else a ticket that wasn't smart enough to leave with, you know, the mass exodus that was out of there before. But this this girl was so cute. She waited for me in the parking lot. She goes, thank you so much. I've never heard of that. I was like me, neither.
I'd go to Chord over that, just to create a sting. You know. You know what I'm gonna get Matthew McConaughey in there, Kyle thousand to go throw on a suit and We've got a job for you today. The dumbest thing I've ever heard of. You wear your mask on a plane, you don't take it off. You're a law abiding citizen and this is the ship you get. Yeah, and it wasn't like my dog was off the leash in the streets, just roaming freely. Love the military like home on. Are you kidding me? I've dated cops and
people in the military. I love them all more than you pass my American flag that's hanging up in the me But anyways, I want to use this as a public service announcement. I appreciate that there's you know, people out there patrolling the streets, but can we get up me a warning next time? Not a ticket, give a girl a warning, you know. Anyways, we'll be back with more Shregg's coming up next? Is it? Is it upside down and backwards or perfect? Okay, we don't have you
very long. How are you doing? We don't even need to start. Look at this guy the scene of the crime. I think we'll call this big shout out to Craig. Tell me when we're starting, because I'm trying to starting. We already started. I just love Peter Schreeger, our friend, and I'd love to say how many jobs he has. He has seven hundred and hopefully a brand new job coming up soon. We won't touch on any Um, the best part is when we all decided to get together
on sad Sturday this past Saturday. And we'll get to that in just a minute. We talked about you being on the podcast, and I think I was worried because I was like, is this going to be all football? Now? We're not even gonna talk football? No can I By the way, I'm flattered to be on the podcast. I've watched the Brian baum Gartner recently, I watched I watched the Kevin Hart Out of the Gates, which was a big get. Um, I'm happy to be on episode thirty one. If if I didn't make the top fifty, I would
have been concerned. But if I'm on thirty one, I'm good. Damn it. But only Schreeger does film study on podcast? Want to but on the only two I gave a ship about. But other than that, this is a reason. By the way, this is a we're reunited of Quarantine Q and a let's not remember it, well, let's not forget where this all started. We had a show. But here's my deal. Um, no one watches fine, No, it
was good. Um, Monday's I do Good Morning Football. Tuesday's I do Good Morning Football and Colin Coward Show Wednesdays, I have to write a column. I can go through everything. Sunday night, I get in bed and I'm like, I'm gonna watch the Sunday Night game. I'm so tired of do the Monday morning show. So I'm like seven days a week football during football season, and I usually around like week eight or week nine. I'll be honest with you, guys, I'm like a little football out. I'd love anything. I'd
love to watch. It's week two, i might be football out like I and then to hear that we're talking football on this podcast, I'm like, no, no, no no, no, no, anything other than football. Let's do it. Well. I got a new show for your scenes Scenes from a marriage, Oh ship you guys, that is okay, don't watch it if you have a dysfunctional relationship. So, Oscar Isaac is a is a Brooklyn guy. Okay, I see him a bunch.
Are you into Oscar Isaac? Is he hot or is he like to artsy FARTZI for you guys, for me, but his acting in this I'm now into it because I'm a huge Jessica Chastain fan. But maybe we'll see her next time at Craig's. We only have you for a second because of all your jobs you just mentioned. So are they dating in real life? No, he's married. He's married. Didn't like caress her all, got a whole thing at in Venice on the red carpet. He touched and caressed her all. He's a great dad. I see
him around with the kids. He seems like the man. I don't like to talk out of school here. I don't know what's going on, but we could talk about the word caressed. I'm not into that word. They're not together, just promo. Shoot whoa um the cars um. So let's set the scene of the crime because we're not going to talk about football. We're going to talk about me going out on a school night. But it was really
a school night for the two of you. Yes, Aaron didn't have a game on Sunday, which rarely ever happens, because you did the Thursday night game. So we were on a text chain earlier in the week asking Shreggs if we wanted to do a dinner. Of course, we always want to spend time with him because he's in town in l A on the weekends for our show. On Sunday, we said, who else would we want to invite to this dinner? We throw out a fielder to call in Coward. He's all very busy. He didn't attend
his loss because his problem. We'll alternate on who tells the story about Shreggs. I feel like you're a really good storyteller, and as our guest, be our guest be our guests put our service to the test. Um, I feel like you should start the story. I got an uber. I get an uber to a restaurant which i'd never heard of, admittedly called Craig's. I'm not a l A guy. I don't do l A thing. I usually fly in, I said the hotel. I get my jersey Mike because
I go to bed at seven o'clock. Um. In this case, of course, of course, club stub number nine, Mike's way. Although oil, vinegar and everything, it's great, it's delicious. Um. Sorry, um, but I try to stay in East Coast time, honestly, So I get into l A on a Saturday, I do all my work for the show that Crissa and I are on Fox NFL kick off, and I prepare and then i'd like to get to bed. By seven o'clock or eight o'clock, knowing if I stay on East Coast time, my body is gonna be all right. Well,
you guys are like, let's get dinner. I'm like, great, can we do it at six pm? Thinking I would be in bed by seven o'clock. We just get a quick bite. We went to the coolest, trendiest, really good restaurant too, and I got there at six o'clock and it was empty. By six oh seven, this place was absolutely packed. And you know, I'm like, who's a reservation under Alexander Charissa. I'm like, I'm here for Thompson whatever.
They pointed us to a table that looked like it would be a bad one because it was literally on the men's bathroom. It was literally there is a restroom and us, and I'm like, well, I guess, uh, okay, okay, Thompson. You guys know, should we have gone with another name? But we get there and we're having a good time, and the owner of the restaurant comes by, this gentleman named Craig. He seemed like a darling, and it looked like it was going okay, And I don't know when
do I pass the baton? To when Jim Nance walks in. Okay, there's so Craig didn't even know he was there. We did it. Craig sits down and he's so wonderful and he's like, how are you guys doing? How's the evening going? That edit on he goes, love this guy the best. Jim Nance and Dr Eletraj are here. You guys should go say hi. The fame doctor that is the rams Uh and the Dodge Jr's doctor performs like you know, he's he does the best of the Tom Brady's knee
together together. Yeah exactly. So we're like, well, we don't want to bother them. We don't want to go say hi. And he's like, no, no, no, they'd like to say hi to you. No they wouldn't. But okay, so we get up reluctantly, we go over say hi to Jim and Dr eletrage More just right over and said hello friends, angel that he is, and Aaron will be modest so she's not gonna say this, but I'll say this. Dr Eletroje goes, oh, Tom and I were just talking about you,
Aaron casual. So here we go. Now, Jim said, I'm also moving to Nashville. You're moving to Nashville. We're having a great time this conversation. Gotta say. The third gentleman at the table is a gentleman named Jim Rickoff, who is their producer, the equivalent of the Richie Science on Fox A Game or you might hear those names. And rick Off is a TV legend too, So immediately I glob onto him to just talk, you know, war stories and all that stuff. I love the sports media stuff.
And okay, so still got a stress ball. Yeah, super nice guy. Yeah, what did you say, by the ways, the man, I'm like, okay, let's see. I don't know the predicting plays thing. I don't know, you know. So we're having a we're having a blast. And it's it's three of us, three of them kind of combined tables. Now. So now you've got sports media powerhouse, just going to a powerhouse. Jim Nance, Carissa, this doctor, Jim Rickoff, and myself a good If I went home right there, I'd
say that is a good crew. And if you know, you told me I got to see Jim Nance in l A at a restaurant. Cool, send me on my way. Let's go. Hello friends. But there's more. And at that point I was still in the tequila sodas like I was good with just having three. As I was stressing to the two of you, I had Carolina Panthers film. I needed to go see you two had an early bedtime. But then Craig laid it on us that Nors the Nors. I know, again, not a big thing for you, Peter
at this moment of your life. Maybe at some moment. Nor's the big makeup company of the Bronzer and I need something right now. How do you too? Was having a big dinner outside, so again to Tequila's I'm great, got Carolina footage to watch. Let's go, let's go talk to them about their the CEO of NS who was like all of the powerhouse people of ours, which again, if it's free, it's like Instagram and the people the simple and yeah, what did we say right away, Chris?
And when we heard Nars, was there orgasm? Yeah? Anyone that knows. And by the way, we yell orgasm in the middle, so then that does Jim nance was like friends, friends, third and four, let's keep it down, let's go, We've got we've got speed on six. Yeah, yeah, exactly, turning amen corner, coming around the corner. Um. So we go outside. We we ask, of course for free samples. So that's great. We're excited at this point, we've had nance. We got
what's going on at the table. While you guys are doing the Nars thing, I'm getting to know our waiter who I'm a married man, I have a child. I fell in love with the waiter mail waiter named Brian, and he's a Bills fan and he charms me. And it's like I watch you in the mornings on Good Morning Football. Do we have a shot tomorrow in Miami? I'm like a shot. You guys are gonna blow them out. I don't know. So me and Brian will you guys are doing your makeup lines. Me and Brian are. I
don't know how it was good. Brian wants Brian figured out who you were. Brian couldn't stop like he had a ton of questions for you. Se since was asking can I get you anything else? Like, Brian, you want to sit down as an open chair. I was supposed to be calling, but it seemed like it's now your opportunity. So you know what Wally pipped. So then we come back from the Nours convention and we sit back down and Aaron, I think you saw Randy Gerber or I did,
or somebody. I was like, oh, there's Randy Gerber. And where where Randy Gerber is? George Clooney is not far behind, we hoped sometimes he's in Italy. You know what, I too would be in the Lake Homo if I could. So he goes into this private room and I'm like, what's going on in there? You know? On the doors opened, the sliding doors open, and now this this our table literally in table, our table. Literally when they seated us at the table, my New Yorker and me was borderline offended.
I thought we were on a toilet. Literally, it was that close to the bathroom. But I didn't realize was that we were adjacent to a private room. And I'm thinking, all right, I don't know what's going on. Chrissa take it from here. Well, no, you're a better story. Okay, I'll just say this. So the doors open and we're like, oh, what's happening? And so I have a site line, a better site line, and you shregged you and I do because Aaron's backs to it and I at this point,
I want anyone to be George Clooney. So I'm like, oh, you guys, I just saw him. I just saw him, and and Hreggs, You're like, is that. I go, it's him. It's him, expediting the story. The doors opened later at some point, and then we really see that, not the guy that I thought was him or ray Leota. At one point I diagnosed in correct by the way, who
used to work in entertainment. I'd get all the celebrities wrong, shocker, but I'm not going to get George Cluney wrong because the last time I saw him, I was inebriated on a red carpet with him, So how could I forget that. So the doors open and I see him. It's like a glow. There was a halo, there was I can't see him at this point, and there's women I can see in my view because my back is to the door, and all the women look in and go, oh my god.
It's like me seeing Mickey Mouse. It's like there he is like women, and there were like European women and they couldn't stop. And if anyone's there with their date, fuck the date because they are like there he is Brian even Brian. Uh we got Brian didn't give a ship. Brian was into schrager Um and I was into him. So Brian, Brian has the the private room wide open,
and I'm like, dude, close the private door. I mean literally, there would be like twenty four year old Ukrainian women like creeping up and taking shots taking pictures of like George Clooney sitting and drinking. I'm like, come on, he doesn't want this wind up going to the bathroom or they are fake. They were fake lining up going to the bathroom, pretending they have to go to the bathroom, and they were sneaking in photos. It was creepy. I've never seen that. I see that line to the bathroom.
I have to go to the bathroom, and so I go into the men's room to go to the bathroom. Then I get a constant from security saying I'm not allowed to do that. That was the second time this week I've went into the men's restroom when I'm not supposed to. But that's not important here, Shreg's that's it. Hey, if at first you fail, you know, that's that's you
go for it. Um. I love that, So I'm talking to Brian, and then I'm talking to someone like closed the door where nobody compared to George Clooney, But let's close the door against privacy, and Craig interjects, comes over there, no, no no, no, no, no no. These guys haven't hung out together in like a year because of COVID. This is their first time hanging. They don't want to be trapped in this private room. They want the doors open, and I'm like, well, then let's go hello friends, is right?
And then we think of a plan, and then we think of a plan and that plan is Shreger goes. Everyone loves Jim Nance. I'm onto you, like, there's no way we're leaving this place without a full party in this room together. So Jim Nance enters the scene and the doors WI bring him in. I bring him in. I go over and get Jim. Of course you want to say hello. George wants to say hi to Jim. It's a whole thing and tatta. So once Jim enters the room, now the floodgates open, comes in, Aaron comes in.
We got the whole get along thing. No no, no, arantimidically walked in and I were hiding. We were hiding. Sure, I'll tell our sight of the story. I thought it was adorable and I have own Aeron now for a
couple of years. We don't go back twenty years. I don't know you guys socially, like when we're out, Aaron was the most adorable shy like it was almost like she saw, like, you know, the star of e Er and didn't want to bother him at you know, at the table that she's been watching since the nineties or whatever it is. Charrissa, you're you're out there, You're going, You're making these efforts for all of us to be friends. You're the best. I need you always out there, the best.
Aaron is sitting there like do we go over with it? And then Craig, to his credit, is like, guys, come on in, what are we doing here? Just come on and be comfortable. Puts us at the table with Cluney and his crew. And I was like, I don't want to go. I don't want to go. I don't want to go. And what does Clon say to Aaron. He says, oh, Aaron, it is I'm a huge fan exactly, and she was like, you watch me. And then she's like this is Peter Schreeger.
He's on Good Morning Football, And I was like, you're it was great, and the whole room cheered for you. Yeah. Yeah. And then my line was I'm here with both of them, and guys, you're probably wondering who is this guy? I will exit left And I got a little chuckle at everybody. I was so uncomfortable, uh and yet as cool as Clooney is, and he was so nice to us, and
he was so gracious, and he was so friendly. My childhood idol walked in a few minutes later, and I didn't have the courage to say a word to this person. Do you mean that woman? Yes, he's not. He's misusing the word. It's not idol his I'm a warm blooded American male. For the listeners, Cindy Crawford walks in the room. Oh yeah, she walked in to the point I yelled, who is this broad? Because yes, I did. I thought she would not to her, but to you didn't. Yeah,
because I didn't see her face. I just saw her like body in her hair, and I said, there's another girl trying to get in there. Well, yeah, it's Cindy Crawford trying to go in and say hello to her husband. And Cindy Crawford, who I don't know. I'm not again. I am not a TMZ guy. I'm not a celebrity gossip guy. Cindy Crawford. When I was a kid, the Pepsi commercial, everything, I mean, the movie Copycat. Ever you want to go down the list. I love Cindy Crawford.
She looked and beautiful, and she's married to Randy Gerber, who was at the table and his partners with George Cloney in the liquor company. And I at that point, I'm like, I am a kid from Freehold, New Jersey who grew up eating McDonald's and playing man Hunt with my friends in the cul de Sac. I'm at a table with George Clooney, Cindy Crawford, Jim Nance, Aaron Andrews, Charissa Thompson, and I'm like, this isn't too much. It's time for it's time for me to call the uber.
It's just it's not gonna get any better than this. And I did, and that is where we exit. And oh my god, if I wanted to welcome to Los Angeles night, I had it with you two. And then let's do a flashback, so we'll do an early dinner right six o'clock. I didn't watch film, and I had the worst headache the next day. I mean, Chrissa was like ordering drinks and kept pouring her drink into mine. That's my fault or something. Carissa had as good of a Fox NFL kickoff face she's ever had. Honestly, she
was on fire, great energy, on point. Follow up questions like if you watched yesterday's show, we were really good as a show, and I would say Carissa was our leader and was fantastic. Okay, I doubt watching George Clooney he did tell us because I went into a whole ten minute long dissertation about my time in Cincinnati, which consisted of ten minutes and my Joe Burrow interview. I was like, so what do you think? He was probably like,
can we just get back to the group dinner. I was with as I'm trying to like break down the you know, state of the union with him in the Cincinnati Bengals. But how isn't he I used to always say, the bigger the star, the nicer they are. And when people would ask me who was my favorite person to interview? And it was always him like he is just now. You guys can attest like the nicest, most down to earth person and Jim dance because no one doesn't love
Jim Nance. Well it's not only known doesn't love. Everyone sees comfort in Jim Nance. Because you've watched The Masters, you cried to watching Phil on the seventeenth Toll, like you, You've done it all with Jim Nance. He's called the Final Four. He's called so like even if you're George Clooney or Leo DiCaprio or Justin Timberlake or whoever, or Ray Liotta or or whoever you want to say, um, if you see Jim Nance and you hear that voice, it puts you into like blank boards war blanket. And
I think Joe Buck is probably similar. It's like I know this guy, even though I might not know this guy. And Cluney loved talking with Jim Nance. And guess what we gave George Clooney the opportunity on Saturday night exactly, you know what, because we're making dreams happen. We're connecting dots. We're out here just connecting the constellations for the Big Chris, I didn't ask you this but I couldn't even look
at George Clooney because I was so embarrassed. I was, by the way, like that fifteen year old boy that just like asked the girl to like the dance, and it was so gross. Did he smell good? Because you were like basically right up next to him. I mean I was like massaging his shoulders, I mean, just to get the guy. But what happened to six feet? We still have COVID protocol churs that relaxed. He always smells good. He was so so nice and his voice was terrific.
And yes, it was a moment. The guys he rolls with they were cool, ash like cool. He was with normal guys, and I think, you know, Hollywood celebrity, it's going to be a bodyguard. It's now These are like normal guys that that anyone would have grown up in their hometown. So this is uh, probably nauseating for everyone at home to hear three people in entertainment talk about how cool this other guy entertained was. But we're all just awe struck that freak, and George Clooney was at
the table next to us. It's pretty neat. Hey, look you leave those doors open, we're coming in, you know, oh my god, girl wanted to just have you know, but he was cool with it. All the girls wanted to go in. I felt for him though, and really by last thing. And I guess you guys probably feel this too. Like and it's not a fish bowl, but like he sits down at a table and literally sixty different people are their meals stop and are just staring and taking photos of him. Do you think that's every
day of his life? Yeah? What, he lives in Italy. But he chose to go to Crags and he left the door open. I mean, he wanted it to be out a little bit all night. You wanted to see You wanted to see who was at the petting zoo, you know, before we let you go, because we know we have to. What do you like this comes out on Thursday? What do you like about I guess my game? Um, Carolina, they looked fantastic against against the Saints. And what are
some storylines do you like going into this weekend. I'm so pissed I didn't take your bed on that h so confident to Um, I know, I'm sorry, I just knew, and I'm sorry I took I told Charris a thousand times. The Panthers are like the lock of the week. The Santa bisin too high after the Patters and then lost all their players, coaches with Covid and then Marshaw Ladmore's out.
But the Panthers are fun and they're interesting. They could very easily be three and oh by the end of this week, and we're gonna be like, are they good young defense, Brian Burns, really good young player, Jeremy Chin, great new personality, second year player. But what I'm fascinating Carolina Panthers, My Carolina Panthers. What I'm fascinated by is what's going on with the Texans quarterback situation. So it's
early in the week. I don't know if Tyrod Taylor is gonna play, if it's a rookie Davis Mills, third round pick out of Stanford. Welcome to the big, Big, National showtime game, because everyone's gonna be watching. On Thursday night, Robbie Anderson and Sam Donald looked very comfortable together. They have a great cut. Is Robbie Anderson forgetting that that mascot was a Panther And it's one of my favorite things. If you guys when we're talking. Just google Robbie Anderson
in Mascott. It's very funny, Aaron. The one that I'm interested in, though, is will you be on the sidelines for Rams Buccaneers Sunday? Oh? What which sideline? And how is how is that decided when you've got two sideline reporters assigned to the game. Is it a flip of a coin or do you have seniority and get to just pick? I am not going to divolve how Yeah, but yeah, I'm freaking I can't wait. And Shregs, I
know it's only week three. Obviously, we just saw a week to your thoughts on what we saw at a Tampa Bay and their defense as well. I mean I was telling Chris of Greg Olson. Maybe I just told my dad Greg Olson just basically said, you've got to play the perfect game to beat them. Yes, it's early, but what are your thoughts about them? So I texted,
and I don't like doing this, Like I texted. I texted a very um high level NFL coach, a guy that I really respect, And I said, and it was during the game, I'm in the air and I'm watching it. It's and and this coach had already played earlier in the day and he was watching the game too, and I said, gosh, they're letting Atlanta hang around, and he wrote back, they look bored. They'll win by twenty and they did. Like it was almost like they were like
all right, like because they could have buried. Atlanta beat him by fifty. It was that one side in Atlanta crawled back. It's amazing. And Kyle Brandt, my colleague on Good Morning Football, had this staging. I can't imagine this. Brady's a few touchdown passes away from having more touchdown passes in his forties than he did in his twenties, and he's still just forty four because he's never had
this many weapons. It's incredible. He through five and like quietly through five touchdown passes quietly on Sunday, and you know the Rams are gonna have a defensive game plan and they beat him last year in Tampa. I don't know, it's really hard to stop what they've got going on right now. Oh, Michael's brought that up on that Thursday night game where he said, is he even better now than he was in his twenties And they were saying yeah,
because he's mean everything. Every there's not a defense. There's not as anything scheme you can throw in front of him for him that he hasn't seen. So I think there's a there's a challenge for us as sports media how to skin this cat any different way. So, like we wake up in the morning, I do a daily show, and it's like it's one thing if it's a weekly show and coach wants that or Straighthand or Jimmy on the weekly morning shows, like hey, here's what makes Brady great?
To do it every day? It's really like, what's the fresh perspective this guy? It's he's an alien, he's modern science defied. And it's like, how do you have a fresh perspective on Brady? After doing this for twenty years and every day being even better than the last one. It's an amazing story. And yet I think there's almost I have not fatigued, but like, I don't know how else to describe it. How good it is, it's awesome. Do you have a calm down a word or do you want to sell? I have a calm down a
ward before I go. Let me tell you something, America and all you out there in Los Angeles going a rags or or jersey mikes and everything in between. Um, I've heard something during the pandemic, during the quarantine and during the summer that New York City is dead. Uh, calm down, folks. New York City is alive. It's as good as it's ever been. It is. I'm fired a good way right now. People are out. People look great. They spent the quarantine reassessing things. People left. Guess what
people left. They went to the suburbs. You know what, We didn't want them anyway. Those are the tools as the people we didn't want here, the cool people stayed, and cool people are moving in. So to everyone who says New York City is dead, as a New York City resident, I will tell you New York City is alive and well, and if you're cool enough, I would love to show you my city next time you are
in town. Anyone listening. But if you're scared of New York City or you think it's a terrible place, please keep saying that and stay in your suburbs behind your white picket fences. I'm good where I am. Let's go, Let's go. Brian just text me and said when can he meet you in New York. I don't know. I've got a root for any time. If your waiter unless his name is Brian, then you invite him over any time. Brian the waiter wants to come to New York, I'll give him three months he can stay with me. Oh
my god, I love it, Shrike, thank you. You guys are great. Thanks for inviting me on. Bye honey, see you next week. Dinner at six Calm Down with Aaron and Carissa is a production of I Heart Radio.
