Calm Down with Aaron and Carissa is a production of I Heart Radio. Are you wondering why I'm still wearing a hooded sweatshirt inside because it's freezing in the garage? I have one on Are you wearing? God? Um? Hello, they're hello. Wait you said you're you're cold in your garage? Are you in jammies? What are you win? I mean a cold sweatshirt and leggings my normal everyday attire because after quarantine, I just gave up on putting on jeans unless I really had to, you know the deal. Um, I was saying I was cold because I converted my garages, you know, into the house and home headquarters. But every now and then it gets a little chili chili chili, I feel and being cold in southern states. Well, we're not in the South, but I was in Dallas yesterday and it was probably twenty to thirty degrees. I feel like they're in California are just houses aren't made for this and it just feels colder here, Like I was done to Rose Bowl watching college game day and Desmond Howard was wearing ear muffs. Interesting, thanking yourself. We're in southern California. Welcome everybody to the Calm Down Podcast. Are you wearing a sweatshirt? Indoors? I am Aaron is welcome, Aaron Andrews. It is week seventeen. Now it's gonna be week eighteen. Can you believe it? You are? You've made it. You have made it to the final week of the regular season. It feels like just yesterday we started this bad Boy at the beginning of the season and we were jacked up ready to go. H well for you, because once you get to the end of the season and you've traveled however many miles diamond status on all airlines, are you sad that you're almost done with the season? Or we ready ready? It's a final countdown? So done. I'm just done done because our final weeks are week sixteen seventeen eighteen, So sixteen's Christmas, seventeen is New Year, and this is when And again I know a lot of this is based on travel stories. When the amateur travelers are out, it's amateur hour in the airport, and I try to be really, really compassionate because I always think of my mom and dad traveling, which they just did from Florida to Montana. They don't know the lay of the land. They don't know. You gotta duck and swerve and excuse me, excuse me, go here, don't go middle, go around. But it's hard, like t s A is hard, and it's just there's a lot of things. I watched the whole flight last night in Dallas where they closed the door and about fifteen people showed up and they wouldn't let them on, and there were mamies and little kids and they had just closed the door in two minutes and the people were arguing. I almost started videotaping because I was like, this is gonna be a thing that goes down. I didn't though, I was more worried about my wine that I got that I posted on Instagram. But yeah, it's no, I'm so ready. Where were you? Where were you watching this all go down? Where you're sitting at the bar watching the gate across the way. Okay, and we're in Dallas at this point because you worked the Dallas Arizona game. Yeah, walk me through your situation because mine, while sitting there, I didn't do one game break into your game, and that tells me one or two things. Because the other games, which were the Seahawks and the Lions no one cared about because there was no you know, playoff implications for them, And then the Saints and the Panthers, and again no one really cared about because unless Rich Gross was producing that game. So I cared, well, we do, I kid, because I care Gross bars, but no one in your audience was. I mean, that was such a big game. That was you know, you only break in Z's not taking an update from the Seahawks DK Metcalfe touchdown. No one cares at that point. But anyway, so I was sending in studio watching the whole game, watching the vision that was the Ivory sweater, back and forth behind Mike McCarthy. There was you, um, how was it? Walked me through that game because it was different for me in studio, I was like, this is I wanted more what happened? What happened? I wanted more like that game was slow. That game wasn't so if you're an Arizona fan, I just to guess on my sideline. It was like, what's happening, What's happening, What's going on with this offense? The defense was getting really tired because they were just running around Randy Gregory was like struggling to walk and he was making a huge place. So nothing on my end felt boring. The end was incredible. I gotta tell you what. So I flew home. I landed about eleven. Wow. L a X was a shit show. But I finally got home and I turned on Game Day Final, which you used to host with Dion, which was one of my favorite shows when you guys did it, because I loved the humor. But I also loved when we're doing our game, we don't see anything else that's going on. I mean, the only thing I saw, unfortunately, was Antonio Brown and what happened with him. But I didn't see any other highlights. I gotta tell you, I'm not really dialed into the a f C because we don't get a chance to cover them. Holy shit, Cincinnati Bengals, How exciting is that? Joe Burrow Jamar Chase, that is fucking fun. Talked about some highlights over and over and over it. I broke into every single game with and it's another one and another one, and I thought I was and I'm into all that whole relationship. And I interviewed Joe early on in the season and we were talking about Jamaar Chase and him obviously going to college together. And I was like, how much input? And I was surprised he told me this because he's pretty close to the vest, like, you know, play it straight kind of guy. I was like, how much input did you have in going to get him? And he's like, they asked me, like did I want him? And I'm like, of course I wanted him, and like that relationship paying dividends now when it matters the most. I was so jacked up watching that game and its dog in the fight. I'm completely neutral when it comes to those teams, but I was. And then, by the way, like Joe's swag when he talks about in the press, so hot, right, but he doesn't have that into it, so reserved. I felt like I was like interviewing him for a military assignment. He was like, yes, sir, yes, ma'am whatever. Then he gets up to that podium after a win and he's ready with the cigar and the memes are at plenty. I loved it. I was like, let's go. I know I is into it. I was telling my husband about it today because, like I said, we see them once a year. It's early in the season. Sometimes it's week three or four, and yeah, I mean it's ignorant of myself, but we get so caught up with the group of teams that we are covering weekend, week out, we don't get to see those guys. I mean, it was just really, really cool. And again, this is like some heavy, deep like football stuff if you guys aren't interested in it. But I'm an sec girl. Those guys are L s U boys. It's just that's gonna be really exciting to follow for years to come. I'm pumped about it. Speaking of the L s U following after, so we keep the feed up whenever there's like a post game interview or whatever. And Pam was interviewing Odell and then afterwards the camera followed him and he ran over. There was this whole contingency of L s U fans in Baltimore like for him, like they fault, Like LSU fans will go anywhere for one of their own. I'll go in time for a coffee. Sure I need another one. I'm annoyed and get Yeah, So that was cool. How was studio Studio was good? The Antonio Brown thing was crazy in the sense that we're like, wait, what's happening? And Myers was calling the game. I know I need to call him. Myers calling the game consisted of this whoa. The stadium security thought it was an unruly fan out there. They almost tackled him, like just all the Myers things that you could imagine like followed suit with that. But yeah, I mean that was I'm doing a Cameron break cut in and then all of a sudden, it's like we're gonna do a cameraon break cut in and talk about Antonio Brown leaving for no apparent reason other than, um, you know, getting in a fight. But then Glazer, who we love is really close with Bruce Arians, and then he came in, just got off the Bruce Arians just got off the podium to you know, announced that you know, a b is no longer a buccaneer and we're like, wait, what's he's saying. He's like I told him to go in and he just wouldn't go in, and we're like, what do you mean? Like because there was incentifications in his contract, We're like we were like thinking, like did they bench him? And then he couldn't go in and he was piste off about the money, Like what was the deal Glazers. No, Bruce is saying that he said to go in. He said he didn't want to go in, and then Bruce's like, then get out of here. So, you know, obviously it's it's well documented that Antonio has had a lot of different episodes, whether that was with the Raiders, whether that was in Pittsburgh, whether that was you know, his stint with the Patriots. And I liked what Tom said that, you know, if he really needs help, then hopefully there's people out there who can provide him with that comfort and the support and the help that he needs. Whatever that maybe, but as it pertains to a team sport, I don't foresee and I don't know what you think a situation where he will ever play again in the NFL he can. Yeah, I don't see what happening. All sad. It just for so many, so many different reasons. It's all very sad. So um, there's a ton of different ways to look at it. But I yeah, I I didn't get to see Tom's presser until I got home. I've read an article about it quickly on the Dallas sideline because a lot of the Dallas guys are asked game if I knew what the gossip WI was, um, and I was like, no, I have all wait til Glazier puts it out there because Glazer will know. But yeah, awful, awful. Um. So that was a big, obviously big headline yesterday, but just exciting a lot of playoff implications for a lot of things. I mean headed into the you know, the day, so many different scenarios could have happened, especially on the A f C side of things. So that was fun. The playoffs are going to be unbelievable. I mean, they're really going to be insane. And I know, you know Fox we carry the NFC. That's gonna be there's no clear cut winner. I guess you look at the Green Bay Packers with the number one seed and the role that Aaron's been on. DeVante is playing out of his damn mind. Davante Adams, we would love to have you on this show. I may or may not have planted that seed with Packers pr As I was getting on the phone, I was like, oh, I get it. Your quarterbacks on McAfee all the time. Can we get your wide receiver? You know? Um, I thought, Sadies Lewis, he's the man too, But um, so yeah, I just to know. I would love to know what Mercedes Lewis squats that man and his eggs and his overall I want to I want to know what's going on in the weight room with Mercedes m Bond. I've never had a chance to talk to him. I said hi to him on the sidelines on Christmas Day, but I've never had the chance to really speak with him. And now with us, you know, not going into the building, that's really hard. But I sat and watched a couple of his press conferences the other day. He is just a lovely person to listen to. So why have you ever talked to him? No, I haven't. I haven't talked to him, but like both talked to Davante Adams. What a little dream he is. And I love what Aaron said that he's the most talented player. Look, it's hard to pick, you know, with the pedigree that Aaron's played with over the years, whether it's bread or on the other side of the ball with Charles and all that stuff. But the most talented guy that he's ever played with. Greg Jennings told me at the beginning of the season he thinks he is the greatest Packers wide receiver ever to play, and he said the biggest reason why is Greg was talking about when he was there, like you know, Donald was there, He had you know, Georgy. They had a bunch of different guys in the room. But with DeVante right now, he's kind of the only I So, um, yeah, Alan Mozard's coming along, MVS is coming along. St Brown's coming along. But yeah, he's like the guy so go to. Vante doesn't get enough love. I freaking loved one seven. What a dream. He's a cutie, he is. What else happened in studio? I'm trying to say, I'm just continuing. Well, I came from another acupuncture appointment before this. Yeah, we gotta get into this. Um well, I mean, no one really cares, but I care only because my face is deformed from it. So I mentioned it on the podcast a couple of weeks ago because I was feeling like this weird sensation, like I didn't have full range of motion in my mouth, like when I was saying certain words, it felt weird, you know whatever, or like pursh your lips or whatever. Um, Yes, I love how Vante atoms to this. I mean, it's just it seemed welcome to the seamless transition. No. I mean, look, we'll go fourth and long, or we'll go forth and short. What do you want in this case, it's a long story, I'll make shorter. So I was losing range emotion in my mouth and it was really uncomfortable, and I had mentioned it to you, and I was going, I was there was like a lot of stress that was happening currently, So I was connecting the dots with that. We'll I've had a lot of stressful things in my life, but never had it manifest in this way before. And it hasn't went away, and it's gotten progressively worse, to the point where like my dad, who's not observant about small little like twitches in my mouth, said to my mom a couple weeks ago when he was watching the show, like, uh, did Carrissa get some bad bow talgs or like did she get lip injections or what's happening with her mouth? Didn't have lip injections. It's been a minute since I had bow talks. No longer do fillers like we're bringing it down. It was not any of that. It was just like loss of muscle control. So I was had consulted with a couple of our friends with Vicky and constants and they're like, we use these, you know, different acupuncture methods whatever. So I'm finding that it's helping, helping as I stumble over my words, but it's still really noticeable, and it's it really bothers me. And I appreciate everybody on the Calm Down podcast. I g that sent in like certain suggestions, or there was a sweet girl. It's actually part of my question comment and concerned segment. There was a sweet girl, Lady Laurence. She said that that happens with her toe like it's spasms. Really too. I thought that was because I was hydria. Oh well, she says to um, take magnesium. It helps her, but it's when she gets really stressed out. But the moral of the story here is I'm waiting for my new best friend, the neurologist to call because I'm gonna go in and get an m r. I it's freaking me out that it's not just something stress related and I want to be cognizant of that. You and I talked about it on the phone the day that where your body is going to tell you something's going on. Like listen to it. So I'm gonna go and have an appointment with that. But um, yeah, I think it's just a reminder that I need to calm down and you know, sort of distress in a lot of different ways. But yeah, it's really weird when something like that happens. When I guess my live my job is to talk, as is yours. And so then when you lose the range of motion or when I was sitting there doing an interview even with Kirk Cousins a couple of weeks ago, or Davante Smith or Dallas got like I was so self conscious of my mouth, like not making the right the right shape for the whatever, and I'm like, so anyways, Um, I'm tb D on the diagnosis, but um at this point I'm just trying to rule out really bad things and hope that it's something as simple as distressing my life. So that's the update on that, and back to you, Joe Troy. And so when they're going in because I do acupuncture for fertility reasons obviously, and I try to go once a week, but I also when I was traveling, which I still am, and COVID is in full swing, which is still happening. I hate that we're saying that, Um, I was doing it for my immune system. And the whole thing is really interesting because there are some days, man, they stick it in and you're like God, and then there's some days you don't even know what's in you. I highly recommend acupuncture. I believe in it. I believe, and you know, the whole thing behind all of it, I really do think it helps. Hasn't helped me have a baby yet, but I know it's coming. Um, but no, there's I'm so tied into where she jabs me and I kind of jolt. I'm like what's that and she's like, um, that's your liver and I was like, oh, yeah, I did drink a lot. And I'm like what's that and she's like, um, that's your intestine. And it's crazy, Like my lady will come in, she'll read my pulse and she's like, you have a lot of post nasal drip and I'm like, well, it's a Tuesday, of course I do. But then she's like, um, did you sleep well last night? And I'm like no, And I'm not saying that. I just feel like she knows it. Then she has you stick out your tongue and she knows exactly what's happened with that. She did that with me, and I was like wait because then I was I was like, did I rushed my tongue? Cauciance, I forget to rush my tongue. And then I was like, are we seeing the white on the tongue? And now we're like yeah, that's what she said the second I walked and she's like, opened your mouth and I was like, uh, yeah exactly, and she's like, oh, you haven't slept, you haven't this are you feeling this? And I was like am I just like what? Did I just walk into it? But yeah, it is really cool and I'm like cute, I asked, seven, do you have it to just by proxy? By talkings? From grinding my teeth at night, I haven't been wearing my mouth guard. Well I don't see. I don't well, not that I have a dentist appointment on Friday. I'll find out next day. Yeah. Well, but I mean we are underneath the hood going all in she um. She said to me, she was like, it looks like you had a minor stroke in your face. And then I called you freaking out and You're like, okay, let's let's not throw that word around. I was like, I'm not throwing that word around. I am just a medical professionals, and you know, something noticeably change and I I'm just trying to fix it. So thank you guys for your suggestions. I'm trying to fix it, and also for Fox's patients as I keep like being insecure about it and going to Brad or Boston being like, I'm sorry, I'm sorry that I can't talk and he's like, okay, just we're good here. But I know, you know, you can't have something like it's like the biggest Well that is a Wednesday for me. So anyway, So that's what's going on with that. So I am gonna follow up on that. What else is going on? Um, I have a fun New Year's resolution story. This is really great. I love a fun New Year's resolution story. So I had a fun night in Dallas on Saturday before our game, went to dinner with Jillian fan and friend of our show and Tom Ronaldi, who has says he will do our podcast. I was like, no, you won't. He goes, well, you haven't invited me fact, So I need to get that down there always it's a standing invitation next week for the playoffs, we could ask Ronald's but um and then Troy came and he asked just about any New Year's resolutions, and I was like, well, mine are kind of really all the same. Don't cost which I never do. Um, I never fixed that one. You know, appreciate my life, go easy on myself, like things like that. You know what the Ronaldis do in their household, what they come up with resolutions for each other really cool. I've never heard of that, he said one of his the ones, and he said, sometimes it's really hard to hear, but it's also very thoughtful. A couple of them were of his. He told us that his wife and daughter came up with years ago. One was his daughter said to him, Dad, I want you to make a new friend, because she didn't think he had enough friend. No, Renald's, He's America's friend. He is. Another one his wife said sighless, because he would come into the house and always sigh and she's like silent. Oh, not the cy Young Award winner. But I think, okay, I I feel like if I did that with my husband, it would be a massive fight. Or if you did it with your friends, it would be really hard not to take it personal. But they probably see things that you don't write, or you just are avoiding me. Well, let's get into it. Since we're friends, and there's certain things that you'll bring to my attention, even if it's hard for you to say, or even that d M that you sent me yesterday where it was like that was a constant short post, but it hit me pretty good, it was, and a lot of it in there was about how we need to look at ourselves, you know, what we're doing, or live up to our potential and not make excuses because of other people's behavior. So, I don't know. I think I'm at a place in my life that I would rather I would rather hear what I don't want to hear than have it said, well, actually I know this, I don't know why I'm hesitating. I would rather have you say to my face what you're thinking instead of behind my back and then be like, well, I just don't want to say it to her because she's gonna get upset. It's like at this point, like real friends are going to tell you the things you don't want to hear, and then after that you can decide what you do with it, right, Like your life is your life. My life is my life. So if we're the friends that I know that we are, we should be able to have that open dialogue with each other and get uncomfortable. Right. But then ultimately, if you are as close as you say you are with whoever, then you should say okay. Like I gave them my suggestions, I gave them my input on their life, and it's up to them to do what they want, because ultimately it is your own life. There's certain things that I know of some friends of mine that I would never do, but it ain't my life and it's not my husband or my kids or whatever, and so far be it from me to judge. Further, I have like a rule of thumb, like my job as your friend is to just support you whatever that looks like, even if it's not something I would do. So I don't know. I um. I love the beginning of the year because I love the idea of like a fresh start and you know, new sort of habits and traditions. I don't make resolutions, but there's things I think about that I should do better, like putting my sunglasses in the sunglass case because I buy an exorbitant amount of sunglasses and then I get mad at myself for spending money where I don't need to. So something like simple as that. That's what I'm up to over here. Wow, do you make resolutions? Deep? I mean I just shared the ones that were kind of the ones that the same ones I do. I think the other one has going to be like enjoy the grind because I do work really hard and I don't know how much I enjoy the benefits of the grind. I love. You know, my manager and and her biggest client she has and partner Michael Strahand is like, you know, work hard, play harder, like you know what I mean, Like you just they really enjoy the fruits at their labor, and I need to start enjoying that as well. I need to stop taking on I think so much in terms of like emotion and bringing it into my life here at my house, like just taking on problems that I shouldn't like they they. I was listening to myself talk to my husband today on a walk with our dog, and it was just about another problem and nothing about he and I, you know what I mean, And it was like why the why the hell am I wasting his time listening to the same freaking story I've been talking about for the last couple of months, Like, and he's saying the same thing to me. So it's just like it is, it's wasted energy. I have to stop that. That's good, that's observing of you. I like that. I don't know. We're all work in progress, and I love a quote and all all deep dive into quotes and you know, try to find some newfound meaning. But ultimately, I think it just comes down to, like everyone wants to be happy. However you do that, um is really up to you. But yeah, I'm gonna tell you what I'm gonna do. The last year, I have felt like being so busy is so great. I'm over it. I'm over being so busy, and I'm over the narrative of saying I'm so tired when I can do something about like I don't need to go renovate or buy a house and like do that, I don't need to move ten times, I don't need to start another company like from me, I think that this year is all about enjoying what I did last year and just sitting and being still and finding enjoyment in doing nothing and not feeling bad about it, like it's okay if on a Monday, after all this stuff happened with my face. The acupuncture woman was really sweet. She was like, go home and watch like senseless TV. Right, whereas before I feel bad if I wasn't being productive. Guess what. I finally watched Aaron so like, Shaw, amazing? Are you all caught up? Though? I well they only hound Hulu. They only had season one. Go to Bravo, Go to Bravo. Okay, because I was on who I was on Hulu and they only had season one and that one, well, I was wondering, and now no, it's a story so good though it is so good. And then I found myself like really getting it two things. Sometimes a mindless TV, I'm like, why am I wasting my time with other people's lives? But it was a nice escape. And then I just had so many questions about who wants to spend this time and energy throwing these parties. I never understood that I want to go to the party and not have it be my own. Who wants to spend the money on such a thing? Yeah, I wonder if the network helps out with that, because that's a lot of costs to bring on to your like to your own well. Heather Dbrow moving over to the Orange County series, she did a cost breakdown with her husband on how much the party costs, and she was like saying, like, oh, nobu was this and dada and she was like into thirty five to forty dollars just for a dinner party that got ruined and you know going into it, it's going to be a fight. I mean, it's exactly what it's what they want. Yeah, it's like a Bachelor. It's like feed these people alcohols with start crying and doing crazy ship right before the rows. That one time I got invited to a taping of The Bachelor where I went to the mansion that's like up in the hills in malb I don't know where it is now. It's like some like off the path beaten road. And I was sitting in the control room and I was like watching all the nonsense that was happening. And then I went out into the living room and there's it's like you're at a marathon, like running a race. There's like water stations everywhere. That's how it was with the alcohol. There was like every end table had a bottle of vodka. And I was like, it's genius. It's genius like that. You imagine me on a show like that. It's incredible. Just feed these people alcohol. Put a hot guye in the middle of the room and twenty five women. It's genius. Call it a day. It's it's absolutely genius. So you had fun with the last time I spoke to you, because we've been off for a second. The family was good. You were all in Montana. Yeah, everybody's good. Okay, back to work. It's like we never It's like we never had. Did you get for Christmas? That was your favorite gift? My dad got me a taser? Whoa and not what I'm taser to? And from thongs to tasers, we got thongs. We got a lot of them lazy ones this year. And my we were cracking up because my sister opened it first. I got one and she got one and she opened it up and we were re enacting Christmas Story where he opens up the red wider BB gun and he's like, yeah, like we were doing that with the taser. I haven't even unwrapped mind yet. What does he want you to have the taser for this living in Los Angeles right now, and and the crime here and just what a ship show our state is. So yeah, okay, well that's a gift that keeps on giving. Yeah a daser. Um, Okay, Yeah, I wasn't really like, I'm I'm delay in Christmas. I didn't go home for Christmas this year, so I'm I'm the aunt that's going to give all these kids money. And you know what when you're like that age, oh you want his money. Anyways, we can always say it's like a happy New Year's gift, you know, happy. I'm going with the Okay, so that was the holiday. Rech What else since I've seen you last or talk to you last? Um? What kind of comments, questions and concerns were there? Um? Well, I have a comment from Rachel again. Wanted to ensure that you guys know that we pay close attention to our Calm Down podcast. I g comments and you guys are awesome, So thank you for everything you send in. Rachel said, I keep getting ads for jo because we do from Yeah, from our perfume conversation. Although I don't remember this, mon't go get a bottle. I have a story whoa go, um, it's about one Tana. So I already texted you this and told you this. My husband may or may not have seen a certain former guests that we had on this show, Matt Damon, and that Jared was was, you know, putting on his skis, and I guess Matt's wife was right there and he was like, oh, hey, this is Jarrett. His wife is a famous sports broadcaster and famous podcaster. You st Damon and I said, you say Jarrett and he said, I rolled my eyes. Rude, very rude. But by the way, no offense to your illustrious broadcasting career because you've worked twenty something years to get that label and we've only done forty six episodes. But we appreciate you Matt Damon for voting podcaster next to Aaron Andrews the sports broadcast is very nice. That's really cute. And then I said, did you talk to him about Jason Bourne? He goes froze. I should have did. I didn't know if he wanted me to stay or leave or keep talking to him. I'm like, okay, I like that. Jared gets so well. He's like the mayor around town. I can talks to everyone, But um, I like that he takes it serious, like what his conversations were or or should have been. I was thinking about this because of been getting all these Christmas cards, which I'm a total loser and have never sent out a Christmas card of like, so I respect the people that do them. I think to myself as I opened up these cards, and like the envelopes are like printed with my address and my name, and I'm like, who are these people? One day I'm going to be this person. It's not gonna be just download a file. Don't get crazy. What do you mean download a file? I can't even download a picture. Not happening for me. But I was thinking about it when I was opening up all these cards that I had a lot of respect for my mother. Okay, we really had a time with these Christmas cards. Kathy Thompson took our Christmas cards very seriously and she one year Aaron, there was this beautiful house like half a mile from ours, not ours, and it was a mansion like back in the day, like why eight you know pillars in the front, like just imagine your quintessential mansion. And this was a house that was down the street from ours, right now I'm imagining home alone. But okay, okay, go even bigger, even bigger with so my uh my mom. They had they were it was for sale, so they were having an open house and my moments like, oh my god, you guys, this is our chance to go inside. We've always wanted to see what this house looks like. Everyone get in the car, pile in the old station wagon, cruise on down the road, and out we you know, out we go into this house. Touring around to the rooms. I'm like, oh my god, I'm in awe this place whatever. I think. I'm like eight at the time. Then she goes, okay, everyone gather around on the front steps of the house, and my dad's like, what are we doing here? And she goes, just sit down, Scott, just sit down. And this is in the day obviously before camera phones, and so she like has her camera with her. She's thought about this. She hands the camera to a stranger and she's like, can you take our picture? Unbeknownst to us, she then Prince Christmas car with this picture as Happy Holidays from the Thompsons, sitting in front of an immaculate mansion that is not ours. So everyone thinks that Thompsons are crushing it this year, and in retrospect, she was like, what was I thinking? And my Dad's like, we don't know. It was like it was such a bait and switch, pretending like this was our house, like happy holidays and in the week, Oh my god, it made me think of it because I was talking about it when I was opening of all the Christmas cards and she was like, oh my god, I have that. I'm gonna send it to you. She sent it to me and it is I'll put it on our calm down police. Is really a time I want to see whose house was it? Paul Allen, We don't know. We still don't know a stranger's house. But I was just thinking about as parents, like some of the ship that she would do, like with Christmas cards and all this other crap. But did you guys have Christmas cards? Right up? Yeah, It's just like who sits in front of somebody else's house and it's like happy holidays. Yeah. It was usually just me and my sister during our golden retriever and weird recital costumes on our point shoes, or one year she made us all get in the hot tub in bathing suits. That's cute, is it though? Or is it? Like? So this is what their families like A little weird on bathing suits of like the dad like Scott's like see my mouth doing I can't laugh. Scott's like in a bathing suit. Like happy holidays anyways, But all right, um, what do we got here? We can question, comment and concern. What are they? Hey? Yeah? Yeah? Our coment came from Rachel. Our question came from Taylor Cunningham, little Cutie. She was saying that she loved the podcast and she felt inspired by us to do her own, and she was wondering if we had any tips for her. At the beginning, I think we cared a lot about, you know, the structure of this thing, and then we quickly realized that the whole point of a podcast is to just ramble and talk and be ourselves. So up, yeah there you. I don't know tips. I would just say, um, if you're going to do a podcast, ensure you do it with someone that you enjoyed talking to, because that way it makes it easier to converse. I would never be able to do a podcast by myself. Yeah, I think I lose people very quickly. I don't think so Okay, the concern oh I read the concern um was about the toe spasms from Lady Laurence. So again, thank you guys for writing in and I'll let you know as soon as the neurology. Can you let me know why you have toe spasms because I always thought it was because I was dehydrated. If there's another, like underlying medical issue, I'd love to hear about it. Yeah, Lauren had said it was when she got stressed again. Stress has a weird way of affecting us all. But you're not stressed out right now, are you? You're almost done, sister? Where do you go to video stressed? I'm here, I'm at home, I'm in l A. I'm stressed out because I haven't read my articles yet. Okay, okay, alright, well Calm Down podcast. It's been a great year and I don't know if anything else other than he finally warmed up in here that and I'm now thinking we should have given Matt Damon some calm down March so he could have worn it, you know, maybe next year.
