Calm Down with Aaron and Krissa is a production of I Heart Radio. You know what that means. It's time d dune dun da headphones on, ladies and gentlemen. This is the pre game. The pre game is a little thing we like to call in the biz, a tease, ten minutes of fun, a little snippet of what you might hear on the full podcast. And Aaron, I am very excited. This is what We have a woman on
the podcast who I have always admired. I've loved her style, I've loved her entrepreneurial spirit, and she's got great hair. Rachel Zoe is our guest, and I know you have a million questions for her. Yeah, I'm excited to talk to her. She has her hand in a lot, and not only that is a wife, is a mother. I'm so curious how she juggles it all, stays relevant, keeps
it hot, keeps it fresh. I love it. Yeah, she's been doing it from and I used to watch her show all the time, her reality show that she had and um and then and she got her she has her two boys, and it was It's funny because I'll ask her about it, but about the whole her life before them, because now admittingly she's like, you know, her whole world is those boys, and so um a lot of a lot of fun conversations that we can have with her. I also want to get a martini with her.
She's like dripping and all this jewelry and that all I envisioned is just her holding a martini glass and like she gives me that seventies like so cool efforts exactly. So she's our guest today, and you, my dear, had a very busy weekend. You're a recipient of the Vince
Lombardi Excellence Award. And I know you don't like to talk about your awards, but you are amongst incredible company, Russell Wilson Art Star and so many, I mean so many the incredible individuals have won this award, and now you are one of only four women who have been awarded this award of excellence. So congratulations, And was an extra special because it was the Lombardi Award and your dad's affinity with Green Bay and your love and just
just the award itself and what it stood for. Yeah, I think, well, I'll never have an opportunity unless I've become a general manager president of a team to hoist the Lombardi Trophy. So that would be uh this, you know, to win an award that bears his name is pretty fantastic and had to go to Milwaukee for it. Hot question. I made a game out of Aaron Rodgers his name.
Every time Aaron Rodgers was mentioned at the awards ceremony or I was asked if I knew what he was going to be doing, I'm hearing the announcement is coming this week. I guess if you're a fan of the Path McAfee show, which I am to um so, yeah, it's a hot topic, hot question, and we were wasted because everybody said Aaron Rodgers like eight thousand times during the night. So it was fun. But the craziest thing happened and I would love to bring it up to
Rachel's oh, but we won't have time. I had an outfit. It was a black tie event, so wore this rate suit from Fornica Beard, Thank you. It was like a black tuxedo suit and was ready to go. You know, Jillian did my makeup, did the hair, all the things, was getting ready to walk down. Our friends had grabbed me a tequila soda, put the pants on, and down the side of the tuxedo pants was a nice hole that had just formed. I don't know, it's from my outer thigh. I don't know really what happened, not on
Ronica Beard issue. But you don't have big thighs, so it wasn't The two things that crossed my mind. Do I grab a permanent marker and just color the inside of my leg so no one could tell? But then I was like, or do I was that was a real option. I had thirty minutes and I don't know how to sew. So I was like, I either try to re sew these or I colored the inside of my legs so no one can really tell that it's a hole. But then I realized, I'm gonna be standing
on a stage, there's going to be photos. How long can I really hold my hand over this hole? Who knows? So, Jillian is the whole? Are we talking two inches? Four inches? With sunches? It was? It was half my index finger, so it was a good size of a significant amount because it could It's like a run in the pantyhose, my panty hose, so Jillian goes, could it could go further as my point. Absolutely, That's what I was worried about the scene would start to break open. So I'm
calling the front desk. I guess they were overwhelmed. Jillian goes down in her little cocktail dress and heels to get a sewing kit. We get a sewing kit. I obviously have to take my pants off. I put my pajama pants on. I'm sitting The light in my room is horrible. I'm sitting on the bathroom floor next to the toilet, and she's sitting with me in her little cocktail dress. I don't know how to sew. So this one she knows how to use her phone. She's like,
hold on all YouTube, how to sew. I'm like, we don't have time to She turns on a video. You needed me there, I can sew. I can't. How did you learn? My mom she made all of our She had no money, and so she would make all of our clothes, and she made our you know, curtains in our house and are betting and all that stuff, And so she taught me how. So but the biggest challenge the sewing is not the problem. It's threading that fucking
need it is. So then you have to like I was like sucking the thread and trying to poke it through, but then my eyes are bad where I couldn't tell if it was through. How do you do that? It's so hard? And then then it starts to fray right your um whatever, the thread itself starts to fray in the end, So you gotta get scissors, and you don't have scissors in those little kids, you know the ones, you guys, the paper ones, and it's wrapped over here. Oh my god, Well, you know what I asked for
a sewing kit for. It always comes back to my acne. I asked for the sewing kit to get in there so I avoid the scarring it never had. Yeah, So did you feel okay in the end? Were you successful in patching up the hole? And were you so proud
of yourself? I did a really good job. If it had been sewing somebody's body, like I needed to sew somebody like a yellow stone, or like it was like somebody had a gaping hole and I had to do an incision, they definitely would have add like an s. I mean, the seam on my pant was a little like jacket. But for for having thirty minutes for not knowing how to do it. I was really really proud of myself. I did continue to hold my hand over
it for when I was standing on stage. But yeah, and I would really like to learn how to sew a little better. Okay, well the road I probably should have to. I'm happy to help you. The key one little key um that. I'll just give you a tip. Now. It's all about how you tie the end, like the actual like, once you've done the stitching, to ensure that it doesn't that the stitch holds, you got to wrap the end and people just like think you you know, like wrap it around and do like a little not, no,
you don't. I'll show you. I'm not doing this. Taught me that you have to go back over it, but I did. There was no tying of the not great. The YouTube video seemed like it was really great. I love that it was good. You know, it's just we're always learning, you know, we really are. Look at her, she's accepting awards and sewing her clothes. Look at my little Cinderella glass slipper and all, where's Gus, Gus, what was your favorite? I don't think I know this about you.
You're the queen of Disney. You love Disney movies. You got engaged at Disneyland. But I don't know who your favorite princess is. Mine was Cinderella. Well, I like a fairy. I like Tinkerbell. She's my gal because Walt loved her so But yeah, Cinderella is great, snow White. Walt loved Tinkerbell the best. Yeah, that was like his one that he created. I think she may be one of the first that I'm going to get this wrong. He loved Tinkerbell though it was based off Marilyn Monroe. You stop
it right now. I didn't know that little tank. She's adorable, you know what Roberts Julia rob her and yeah, what a great because if you've never seen well, Peter Pan. But Julia Roberts like the human version of it, not the animation. Oh was it a cook? Is that what it was? It's so optional too. It's very emotional movie. I can't get through it without getting very Speaking of movies and shows, we've talked before about now that it's the off season, re entries were definitely in full oft.
With re entry, now you get time to catch up on all your shows that you love. What are you watching so glad you asked. Kind of a big day today. I have been binging Cheer. I watched the first season like a year and a two years ago because then they went on a hiatus because of COVID. But then I finally watched season two and I came home yesterday on Sunday. Ken was at my house because she was babysitting the baby, and we decided to watch the rest
of it together last night. Cheer is storry because we grew up dancing, so we're invested. We love the stories. I loved the fact in Cheer this year they not only followed Navarro High School, but they also followed Trinity Community College. You become invested in both. You've got the one that's like the O G S and they've won, and then you've got the other school that's trying. One stays at a Hilton, one stays at a Hampton in one you know, flies a plane to the Daytona competition.
The other one busses for sixteen hours. It was always in Daytona, these competitions. I remember these ones too, and they were kind of competing. Always tampons. Yeah, so we get to the part last night where the it's a two U two episode event with the competition and Ken and I are roped in. She's on the couch, I'm on the floor. We are screaming the pre limbs d messes up the flip and then they have to go the next day. Anyways, basically we are screaming for the finale.
It was so well done. We were so invested. We were so excited. I reached out and commented and started following the Trinity Community Colleges head coach Vaunte. He is so amazing. His coaching style is fantastic. And I just liked him on Instagram and I was like, just finished watching Cheer two, I'm obsessed. Ken. Later in the night, we went to uh go have a drink and I kept looking at my I G and I was like, he is not commented. I'm so sad. Why are you
not commenting? Why don't you realize the boy that's not texting you back or calling you back today? He DM me, Oh my god. He was like, thanks so much. I was like, watch season two, invested, love your coaching style. I'm also in Monica fan too. I love Monica. Have you gotten into cheer Cheers Norma? I've gotten into that not cheer Um, you know it's the little things, it's sewing, it's awards and it's Vonte. For you, it was a big are you going to cheer at all the show?
You know? I can't do that? God, I love it. And you know you're the girl and I'm the boy in this situation. You always call yourself a boy. I'm a boy when it comes to the cheerleading in the dance step. But I'm going to tell you the woman who does it all is coming up. Rachel Zoe will join us.
