Calm Down with Aaron and Karissa is a production of I Heart Radio. Actually my cops gotten better. I was gonna say, welcome to the pregame. How is can we get a medical update from the sidelines, Curissa? How is the cop? You know? I just was able to talk to the athletic trainers from Calm Down, and I have some intel to support the fact that this nagging sickness slash cough is on its way out. We are slow and steady with the healing process. We're off the i R.
We're on the fifteen day disabled list. Better fact, Oh no, so much better. Fun fact for our viewers. You do need to say, and I'm glad you did athletic trainer. Uh. People will always tweet who are in the trainer business, and they get on your ass if you don't say, just spoke to the Patriots training staff and they did update us that. Rob Gronkowski realized this was years ago. But if you don't drop that, athletic people get mad, really mad. Yeah. Yeah, wait, because there they think you're
confused using them with just a trainer from Equinox. I mean, what's the deal. I don't want to misstep. I don't want to misspeak. I don't want to piss anyone off. But there's a real big thing you've got to say, athletic trainer. So yes, that's why I do that whole thing, as you should when you give an injury or report or whenever you yeah, talk injuries the athletic training staff. What do you say that you are when people ask
what I do for a living? I say sports reporter, but I'm like, I'm not a reporter, so that's wrong. And then I say TV host, but like, am I I don't know what? What? What am I? I'm not a journalist. That's wrong. Now I say broadcaster. Broadcaster Okay, I mean I don't know either. What is the correct term? I'm gonna tell you what is the correct term. This is our pregame for those of you that are new
to the program. Attend little snippet that we take questions from our incredible listeners and sort of give you a little sampling of what we may discuss in lengths later on in the week. So our first question comes to us from Drew Goody. I love this question. If you could sit at a table and have dinner with any four sports people, who would it be for example, his is Kenny Shack, Ernie and Barkley, which is an incredible
dinner party. Holy hell, Barkley Barkley, that's actually I would take that one, but you know yours off the top of your head, I'm gonna think now I'm writing it down right now. Let's your okay, Barkley, probably just because I'm a victim of uh Drew's t table party of four, Um, Barkley Jordan's yeah, Muhammad Ali boh okay and Tiger Woods. Okay, I'm having a problem with my fourth. I have Barkley, Jordan's Larry Bird as I don't know who my fourth would be. Can I go back to the Kenny No?
Or is that that you could have? You could actually have dinner with him, so forget that? Never mind? Um, what do you want to say about Ernie? Just I wouldn't love that show more? I don't. I'm not really up to date on the NBA, but when I watched that show, I could be. I feel like I've been watching the NBA all year long. They are They could talk about the paint drying on the wall, and I'm or the paint or the scrapes on my wall. You know. Uh, and I could watch it all. It's so good. It's
so good. I've been chirping NBA players because I don't watch the n B A I have. I know, it's my new thing. I don't care if I get in trouble. I don't cover the NBA, but I do gamble. And when you only score four points and I have bet on the over of twenty eight and a half, I'm gonna chirp you. I lost last night on a sure bet and I said, forget it. I'm going hard in the paint with my comments. I don't have. I don't have any issue with that. But I was watching their
their post game. They're throwing eggs with that. I didn't even understand what they were throwing eggs about, Like, think about this. This is the NBA playoffs and ten minutes of their show is designated to an egg toss. It's so great because who cares? Like you can't get stats anywhere, but I love that show. Uh, The Biggie Show, why is this? I'm upset? This isn't my handle. The Biggie Show said, greatest sports moment you've ever seen as a fan? Huh,
mine's mine's as a fan of my Seattle team. It's a it's a negative moment. It's the interception on the goal line against the Patriots, Malcolm Butler's interception, which was a terrible sports moment for me being from Seattle. But I knew in that moment this was to date the biggest sports blunder in history. And so to be on the sideline and I wasn't working the game. Were you working that game? Was that our game? Either way? I was on the wasn't ours for y'all who sports or something?
And I was like, this is terrible, but I you were. I was witnessing his story. I don't know. As a fan. I got to be at the Super Bowl when the Green Bay Packers one that was really exciting in Dallas for the ice storm. That was cool. My seats were really high up. I wasn't happy about that. Um, I'm trying to think I'm not doing well today with all of this, But that's okay. I've seen a lot of great ones that I've covered. Yeah, I mean, you know,
we just what about your your Richard Sherman moment? I mean, for you professionally, does that I know that was but even being a fan of the NFL. That was so badass in so many ways, because you know, I remember Eric Shanks or boss with Fox, said, that's why we do those interviews in hopes that there is a moment like that where a player will absolutely lose their mind. And I didn't when it happened. I didn't think Sherm was come. You know, people were like, oh she he
scared her. Now My fear and my face was, holy sh it, what am I going to ask next? Because this is going to be the biggest thing ever. I knew how big that was turning because no player does that, and that was just so freaking cool as a broadcaster and as a fan to have a guy lose his mind, it was awesome. But for you to react so quickly in that moment, because of course, in retrospect for anything, right, you're like, I could have asked this. You asked the
perfect follow up, like who are you talking like? Because you knew who he was talking about, didn't you? Sweet, But you still had the wherewithal to say like who are you talking about? Which was amazing, you know, but it's just the way I said it. He goes, don't you ever talk about me like that again? And I go, who is talking about you? Like, what happened to my voice? When did I turn into a ten year old who
was talking about you? I was christ to come up with a great line that when that happened, She goes, Oh my god, that was like I was on the phone with Aaron and we were having this intense conversation. Who was talking about what happened to me? I thought it was a sweet wait for this word juxtaposition from the like the intense moment, like being stilled on. I'm looking it up, write it down. Okay. The next question is favorite sports movie. This comes to you from Becca T.
Brown twenty three. My favorite sports movie, Oh god, there's so many. I love Bull Durham, I love any Kevin Costner sports movie, The Natural Field of Dreams. I mean, Costner's just in so many baseball specific ones. So mine is get ready for it to pick the Cutting Edge. She's so good. You would I say that you're such a girl those things you've seen that it's about ice skating. That's that's at a hockey player. The greatest female sports
broadcast just said her favorite movie is pick Cutting Edge. Um, Like Doug Zarkin's question, what's the funniest thing you've ever heard of coach say to a player on the sideline, do you have one? Mm hmm. Not off the top of my head. I have a good run from doing Kentucky basketball John Calipari, who is one of the best
to listen to on this sideline. I mean listen. There are times when you're listening either in a huddle or you're listening on the sideline and a coach just rips a player to ship and you are like, oh my god. And there have been times I just look away because I'm like, oh my god, Like that was so intense, so the heat of the moment, and I would die if that was me or my husband. But one time, cal who I love and he eats it up, and
he was so great to the media. He looked he got his team together during a time out, and he and tomz Oh were so great about having me really be in there and listen. And he looked up and he looked at me and he goes a a come a little closer. This is gonna be really good. And I was like, that's that's amazing. I always forget in basketball how close you could like you're in the hut like you're allowed to it. Of course always you have the band and the students behind you, so it's so loud.
And some coaches are really great and they obviously trust you and let you. I mean there are times I'm like in it. I felt like it was like, so you're going to draw me into this play, Okay, I'm gonna come around behind the edge. With ten seconds left, we're given Aaron the Rock. Oh wait, last, this is the last one. I want to answer some we gotta go. How um would I do Dancing with the Stars? Me? Absolutely not. There's no chance in hell you could get me to do that. I am not Kendra, your sister.
For those people that don't know who's an incredibly talented dancer like you are. Tries to teach me one minute of a choreograph routine and I feel like I have decent rhythm or you know, canads. It took me so long to learn like a few steps. I would I would cry. I'd cry every show and i would get it wrong and I'd have a meltdown and I'd go for the TNT be pretty good at it. Oh yeah, the tan is good and the weight loss is pretty great to those abs. We've seen your abs. Wait, do
they have the tanning on site? Yes, before you leave the night before the show and when you show up at this show. So you basically ruin your sheets the night before and you re ruin them when you get back. It's great. That's actually going to be a continuation on the Calm Down Podcast, the full episode, because I have a spray tan schedule this week and it's it's I'm nervous. I'm nervous for a lot of different reasons. So more on that and a lot of other things on this
week's Calm Down Podcast. Thanks for tuning into the free game see you. Calm Down with Aaron and Chrissa is a production of I Heart Radio. For more podcasts from my heart Radio, visit the i heart Radio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts.
