Speaker 1: Calm Down with Aaron and Chrissa is a production of
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio. What's Happening Everyone? This is the pre game,
Speaker 1: you know, the drill, ten minutes of fun. If you're interested,
Speaker 1: you pop on over and listen to the full episode.
Speaker 1: Aaron Andrews, Corisa Thompson, this is a Calm Down pre game.
Speaker 1: And Hi, I just thought the camera caught me. I
Speaker 1: was looking down at Howie winking. You know. It's so
Speaker 1: funny and we didn't expect this to be a part
Speaker 1: of the pre game. Is like, I feel like my wink,
Speaker 1: Oh great guy, my mess that up gave me anxiety
Speaker 1: that report this year Packers Raven. Thanks Chris has so
Speaker 1: much for bringing that back into my train of thought.
Speaker 1: But back to Howie, and needed to be sinking at him.
Speaker 1: It's like I literally thought that he could understand what
Speaker 1: it was. It was all about me winking at him.
Speaker 1: Dogs don't know, but I feel like my dog does know,
Speaker 1: you know. I think dogs definitely know what's going He
Speaker 1: doesn't know a wink, though, does he? Why Why wouldn't he?
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't he if he knows? Hey, do you to
Speaker 1: go for a walk? Hey, do you want to treat
Speaker 1: why wouldn't you know a link? I think dogs, well,
Speaker 1: this is you and I have an affinity for dog.
Speaker 1: Were very much dog people. Dogs are if I was
Speaker 1: to be reincarnated. That's why I have a like tattoo,
Speaker 1: because I believe in reincarnation. That's a different podcast, but
Speaker 1: I think that if I get a choice, is what
Speaker 1: I want to come back as in my next life,
Speaker 1: I would for sure be a dog. They understand everything,
Speaker 1: and that's weather Man's best Friend's service dogs. They don't
Speaker 1: have service cats. And don't try to tap that peacock.
Speaker 1: Did I send you that that Instagram? I sent it
Speaker 1: to the Calm Down d M. A woman brought a
Speaker 1: peacock on a plane and said it was a service animal.
Speaker 1: That tail was so long in the aisle. One time
Speaker 1: we tried to take Howie commercial and his tail was
Speaker 1: so long in the aisle, and it made me think
Speaker 1: of that peacock that you sent. It's too hard bringing
Speaker 1: dogs as sides. I drank the whole time. Poor Jarrett
Speaker 1: had to deal with not only Howie off the plane,
Speaker 1: but Mommy off the plane. It was a disaster. You
Speaker 1: definitely had to buy him a seat. That dog is
Speaker 1: too big to fit like in between. You guys know
Speaker 1: he went in bulkhead in first class. It was and
Speaker 1: it just didn't work, and I was just I freaked out.
Speaker 1: I panicked, and never again. We're never doing it again, ever, ever, ever, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: we're not doing that. So look, I get it. We
Speaker 1: all need things. And if you need an emotional support animal,
Speaker 1: that's fine. But the peacocks tough on a plane not
Speaker 1: a lot of room. Anyways. I want to come back
Speaker 1: as a dog. How he understands the winks and you
Speaker 1: guys understood the assignment sending in questions that you have
Speaker 1: for us, so we always appreciate that. I want to
Speaker 1: come in as an All Pro linebacker, That's what I
Speaker 1: want to come back as, you know what, and not
Speaker 1: just a one year All Pro linebacker. Like I'd like
Speaker 1: to be re boy back, like like an Aaron Donald. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like how you know he's not a linebacker, but he's always,
Speaker 1: like you know, every single year having success. So I
Speaker 1: would like that to be me. Linebacker. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: ray Lewis, Okay, that's interesting. I would be an offensive player.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have I wouldn't have pinned you for a
Speaker 1: defensive gal. I'm gonna be honest defense one's games championships too. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: are you ready for this? Okay, So this is actually
Speaker 1: a perfect segue. I'm going to mess up the names,
Speaker 1: and so I apologize in advance. Messo Ernie wrote in
Speaker 1: how did You fall in Love with Football? Aaron Um
Speaker 1: for my dad just my dad is a great storyteller
Speaker 1: and he did it for a living for a ton
Speaker 1: of years, being an investigative reporter. And when I started
Speaker 1: falling in love with sports is when he started telling
Speaker 1: me the stories behind players, coaches, organizations and introduced me
Speaker 1: the Red Sox, the Boston Celtics, and the Green Bay Packers.
Speaker 1: So yeah, what about you? Same Scott Thompson. He would
Speaker 1: always be watching Sports Center, He would always be watching
Speaker 1: any kind of sports. But I remember specifically the reason
Speaker 1: I say Sports Centers because Berman was on and it
Speaker 1: was the day of Dan Patrick and all those guys,
Speaker 1: rich eyes, and I remember wanting to spend time with
Speaker 1: my dad no matter what he was doing. I just
Speaker 1: like idolized him. And so he's like, well, you can
Speaker 1: sit down now to me, but you're not allowed to
Speaker 1: not allowed to talk. He's like, and I will ask
Speaker 1: you questions and teach you things, but do not just
Speaker 1: be jabbing away. I'm watching, I'm watching the games. I'm
Speaker 1: watching things happening. And then he would teach me the
Speaker 1: games that way. So yeah, definitely from him. And then
Speaker 1: he used to play in a flag football league, so
Speaker 1: I would go and go to his games with him.
Speaker 1: And then I got really excited because anyone that's been
Speaker 1: to Seattle knows Dick's drive in. It's an old school.
Speaker 1: Um I don't know Dick's drive In. Oh my god.
Speaker 1: It is a staple in the Seattle area. So imagine
Speaker 1: going back in the nineteen fifty and having like a
Speaker 1: root beer float be a dollar and cents. The prices
Speaker 1: stayed the same. There was no cash registers like the
Speaker 1: the employees would just do the math themselves in their head.
Speaker 1: It was an awesome place to go. And again, my
Speaker 1: Seattle brethren will know exactly what we're talking about. So
Speaker 1: I would go with him to his flag football game.
Speaker 1: I'd bring my little briefcase because I like to do business,
Speaker 1: and he's like, okay, sit here in the stands and like,
Speaker 1: I like, have all this paperwork out doing fake nothing.
Speaker 1: And then he would take me to get a root
Speaker 1: beer float and a hamburger afterwards. I loved it. I
Speaker 1: was instead of doing business with a briefcase. I played
Speaker 1: a game when I was younger with my mom when
Speaker 1: she would like fold laundry and I called myself Sue
Speaker 1: the Waitress. And I would always call my mom Paula
Speaker 1: because that's her name, and I'd be like, we would
Speaker 1: role play this whole thing, Sue the Waitress. I had
Speaker 1: three kids. One was named cigarette. Oh and see the
Speaker 1: wacheess smoked Crayola's cute cigarette, Tractor and blanket. Who knew
Speaker 1: Michael Jackson would name his kid that way, Um, yeah
Speaker 1: that was me. Yeah, you're doing business deals and I'm
Speaker 1: doing I'm Sue the Waitress, smoking Creolas, smoking heaters and
Speaker 1: having three kids. One name Tractor. That's an unbelievable story.
Speaker 1: Will Extractor, a cigarette and Blanket in the full episode
Speaker 1: of the Calm Down podcast. Because there were so many games,
Speaker 1: I'm writing this down. You're writing it down, Write it down. Well,
Speaker 1: I've played a lot of other games too, and it
Speaker 1: was yeah, so, but my favorite was business with my briefcase.
Speaker 1: My grandpa gave me his briefcase. You worked at Boeing
Speaker 1: and it had like the little things like you know
Speaker 1: on suitcases that you could put the code in and
Speaker 1: to like lock it. Yeah, yeah, I had the code
Speaker 1: and it was the code was one to three, and
Speaker 1: I was like, no one will ever get into this
Speaker 1: briefcase I code on it. That leads us to our
Speaker 1: next question again, you guys. Next question is uh favorite
Speaker 1: interview of a player and most embarrassing interview? She I
Speaker 1: gotta think about these. One of my favorite interviews I'm
Speaker 1: kind of looking up at him was Big Poppy after
Speaker 1: the Red Sox won the World Series. I forgot which
Speaker 1: year it was. It was after the Boston bombing and
Speaker 1: Poppy had done that whole this is our fucking cd
Speaker 1: um and so I gave him the mic and uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm looking at God, he's the best, and he just
Speaker 1: did that whole thing again. It was really cool. Do
Speaker 1: you have a favorite? Uh? I really, I mean any,
Speaker 1: I mean one that stands out. I'm trying to think
Speaker 1: you've had a lot more in the moment interviews like
Speaker 1: postgame and reaction. I mean those because I didn't spend
Speaker 1: as much time on the sidelines as you did, so
Speaker 1: my interviews were more of this in the sit down vain.
Speaker 1: But I love a lot of the interviews that I
Speaker 1: get to do for NFL films because it's telling the
Speaker 1: story of the individuals. Um. So yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean on the spot, I just I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'd have to think about it. Brother, I've had a
Speaker 1: lot of good ones embarrassing interviews. I don't really have
Speaker 1: one that jumps out as far as embarrassing. I don't either.
Speaker 1: I know, Sorry, that's like a lame. I'll think about it.
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer's dad in this stands when I did football
Speaker 1: for TBS back in the day, and this is when
Speaker 1: Carson was playing at USC and I was trying so
Speaker 1: hard to ask him questions and I don't think he
Speaker 1: was into it, and it was just really it was
Speaker 1: really challenging, and I was young and I didn't know
Speaker 1: how to navigate through it. So yeah, there was that one. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Maybe this actually Gary Bettman now comes to mind because
Speaker 1: he was like, I know, you don't know anything about hockey,
Speaker 1: but thanks for the questions. Um, that's what I bought
Speaker 1: Hockey for dummies. Last question and then we will continue
Speaker 1: these thoughts over on the full episode of Calm Down podcast,
Speaker 1: but Jacqueline Jacqueline underscore nine with a fantastic question, how
Speaker 1: many days of dry shampoo is too many? Calm Down,
Speaker 1: Greasy hair, go ahead. I have a thing. I have
Speaker 1: a shower affinity. I shower like I've already showered twice today.
Speaker 1: I have shower right when I wake up, and then
Speaker 1: I shower after a workout, and then I shower before
Speaker 1: I go to bed. So sometimes it could be after
Speaker 1: three times a day, which I'm into. And I can't
Speaker 1: do the greasy hair thing also because it's blonde and
Speaker 1: I feel like you see it right away. So the
Speaker 1: most you wash your hair every time, Yeah, that's while while,
Speaker 1: so why it's falling out and it's you're not supposed to.
Speaker 1: I know I'm working on most most days I've ever
Speaker 1: gone without washing my hair is two max max a million.
Speaker 1: That's it. I'm not really a dry shampoo girl anyways,
Speaker 1: because I work out pretty much every day and I
Speaker 1: just feel like everything gets so greasy. So yeah, I
Speaker 1: can go to like three to four days without washing
Speaker 1: my hair, but then it turns into a real situation.
Speaker 1: I could give your car an oil change with my head.
Speaker 1: So I'm more of a texture spray kind of gal
Speaker 1: and then back in the day when my whole head
Speaker 1: was covered in a weave, I just used to do
Speaker 1: the front track wash. If I was real, like the
Speaker 1: top freezy, sure, but I'm not. I just can't find
Speaker 1: a dry shampoo that really agrees with me. I feel
Speaker 1: like I get kind of like the little specks in
Speaker 1: my hair and it looks like Dan druff and I'm
Speaker 1: not into it. No, okay, Um Dry Bar has a
Speaker 1: good shampoo or a good d dry shampoo, and the
Speaker 1: Texture Sprey not an ad unite when I'm having in space,
Speaker 1: do unite texture spray ladies and gentlemen too. It's not
Speaker 1: just for the ladies. I highly recommend that, as does Aaron.
