Calm Down with Aaron and Chrissa is a production of I Heart Radio. Are we might be rolling? I did I botox under my arm? Look, it's the bag. It's fully back. What the funk? I needed my money back? And with that, we're going to welcome you to the Calm Down Podcast. Chris's armpits are sweating and the bags under my eyes couldn't be more visible. I mean, who's just finished this season? We're gonna talk about Kelly Stafford, but her and I already are sweating. I mean, my god, the things. What's happening, Well, what's happening is we have our matchup for the Super Bowl, the Cincinnati Bengals Joe Brow and the Los Angeles Rams. Congratulations to both of those teams. What a weekend it was, and we're going to cover it. But hey, if any of you want to get ready for the super Bowl, guys, do I have a couple of fun garments for you. This is our super Bowl sweatshirt that's available by where by Aaron Andrews on Fanatics. We also have a really really cute T shirt and we've got it. We've actually got two really cute T shirts. I'll be uh modeling them throughout the Calumdown podcast. I g but you can pick them up on Fanatics. Holy shit, that was an awesome, awesome Sunday. We'll get to all these things in a second. I have a random door behind me. I'm in Las Vegas. I will tell you why. We have a special guest on the podcast today. For those of you avid listeners, you will be familiar with this individual. But the Super Bowl matchup is set. Fifty six is upon us, and I'm so, where do we begin. You work the NFC Championship game, Go work the NFC Championship game. But while we're setting up for the NFC Championship, the a f C is going on. So it's crazy. I didn't get to see a single well, I saw a couple of highlights, but I didn't get to see the full blown highlights really until yesterday. Jared and I sat at home and we had lunch together and just said, let's look up all the highlights from the a f C because as that's going on, we're trying to set up for our game. CHRISA, you were there as the Bengals are starting to move towards you know, the end zone to try to score field goals being set up. I mean, that place is going bananas. Clearly a lot of people at SOFI cheering for Cincinnati. And and that's just what happens when somebody's won forever. We know that. Like we said about Tom Brady, that's what happens when people win for a long time. They want the underdog to go. They want Joe Burrow. There was so it was the a f C Championship game is on the massive second projector at so FI. My neck hurt looking up at it because it is so big. But yeah, what a finish. What a freaking studman. Like we know Evan mcphers say, go Gator, Mean where are the pom poms? But you know, I'm so excited for him. Look, Patrick Mahomes is going to be in this league for a long time and have a lot of success, and you know, congratulations to him on the success he said so far. Travis Kelsey, we love, et cetera. But I'm really thrilled for the fan base of the Bengals. They you know, waited thirty one years to even get a playoff victory and now they're off to the super Bowl. And same thing for the Rams. We'll get into the specifics in a second. But two great guys, you know as the face of their franchises, between Joe Burrow and Matthew Stafford, it's going to be a great match up here in light. Now. Are you going to go to the game? I don't know, undecided. I just checked my Instagram and apparently Kelly said, I am so there's that, But so many levels and so many things to cover with that. The energy and so far was awesome. I know there was a lot of talk leading up to that game about would there be more forty Niners fans than Rams fans? Either way, I think whoever had the ball, it was really really loud. And then I was listening to Pat McAfee today talk about when the Rams were you know, they won and they were on the podium, it was really loud. In general, people were just pumped. That game was so physical and so intense. I know, you were up and down from the Stafford suite. You came on the sidelines with me a little bit. I kept turning over my shoulder and looking at you every time Deebo would get the ball or the forty Niners would move the ball. Just that was such a free king physical battle, which which it always is between them, right, I mean, and San Francisco having the edge the last six matchups between the two teams. I mean, it was just a matter of time. But I so obviously you were working the game. So I remember saying, I was like, should I go to the game even if I'm not working? But I was like, of course I should go because we had it. Um. I wanted to be there to support you and just hang out. And then so the Rams, the Staffords suits very super like, superficial, superstitious. There anything but superficial, very superstitious. And so each time, like I would go up and down to something good or bad happened, I'd have to stay in the suite or I have to get out of the suite, And so I kept going back and forth. But just such an incredible moment. We you know, it's well documented how much we love them personally, but Kelly specifically, and just like such a you know that everything that they've been through, whether it's from Matthew, the drought of a playoff victory, and just Kelly personally, and it's they're a very easy family to root for. But after you know, it was decided that they won, and um, Kelly was going to go down to the field because they bring you know. It was it was with Cooper, Cup's wife and ever all the wives and girlfriends and stuff. Kelly's like, will you go down to the field with me? And I was like, of course I will. And so we're in the elevator on the way down and she's like, shout, I forgot my phone. I was like, don't worry, I got you covered. I'll capture the moment, like the whole thing. I am an asshole in these videos running chasing her looking for him on the field. I look like such an idiot. But it was so was your phone not on? So you get the video? Okay, So I think I'm crushing it. I'm like, I got all these moments. We get in the elevator, a lot of pressure. By the way, that's a ton of pressure to have that job get. I was like, I was, I was ready for I thought. I was like, I got a high angle, I'm in boots, I I'm up here. She's a little tiny thing. I was like, I've got it all covered. We get in the elevator. Afterwards, I was like, I got the best videos what a moment, her jumping into Matthew's arms. We get back into the suite and I like, all the blood rushes from my face. I didn't get anything. The footage went like this, and then it was me getting her shoes, and then the footage but I was like, fuck, I didn't get it. Fumbled, I threw an interception on the goal line. WHOA Russell hit you in the chip? Was terrible. So I immediately text our friend and producer Joel and I'm like, who's has access to all Foxes footage? I was like, You've got to pull this moment for me. I fucking ruined this and and then he ended up, you know, sending us these like incredible videos. But I was laughing so hard at me following her, thinking, I'm like National Geographic getting the cheetah about to on. Yeah, their prey and I got this moment and I got none of it. But it was so much fun, and you know, enjoyed celebrating that with them and felt just so happy for them. But anyways, yeah, I I discussed with her a lot leading up to this week. How look, Kelly, he's played for thirteen years. I was dating my husband at the time that he was winning championships, and I just said, you gotta promise me, because she's people don't get it and that are outside of sports. How much of a labor of love. And I think you saw that today with Tom Brady's Instagram post of just thinking his family you do miss a lot and your wife ends up taking a lot. And Kelly is all in. She is all in to make that man happy, all in to make him comfortable, make him, you know, be his best on game days. But I was listening to Pat McAfee this week just talk about it's so hard on the wives and that guy has been on the worst team for the last twelve years. And she's the one he goes home too, and she's the one that's like, we gotta be happy and peppy and bursting with love. And meanwhile like it sucks to go to work. Whoa, oh, shoot the buzzer. No, I haven't won ten grands. I said the word like, so I have to give ten grand That's right. Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the Calm Down Podcast, where I am trying to stop saying like, I'll tell you what's really hard is when you watch two hours of The Bachelor, and that's what makes you want to concentrate on taking that word out of your vocabulary. Everything. I can't be charged with this, I can't be buzzed for this is like like I don't know what Colton even thinks of her, like like what's happening? Like he like it doesn't even love me anything. I can't that don't know. Aaron has made a concerted effort to omit the word like from her vocabulary or sweet. Producer Kurt will buzz her throughout this entire episode. Um. That's what I'm gonna work on, not saying the word um every time she does it. Okay, it sucks to go to work when you are when it's when you're not winning. It's hard and you don't want to bring that home to your wife, but you do. So. She's obviously been through her health problems and and he's been a great you know, comfort and support through that. But that moment where she just screamed and found him. I sent it to a couple of my girlfriends who are hockey wives as well, and I just said, you know, there are husbands of one and I said, imagine your husband being on the worst team for twelve years and this was the moment he makes it. And both my girlfriend's Jackie Quick and Megan Carter, were like, oh my god, this is emotional. So Rick, You're right. So I was so happy for Kelly, and I was really honored this week to make sure she enjoyed it because she was a part of it too. There was another moment I was going to say about her. Oh, I was walking or walking the dog last night talking to my sister on the phone, and we had a chance to get to know the Staffords a little bit in Montana. My entire family was there. Matthew and Kelly are the easiest people to be around and just laugh with and have a good time. Many drinks were had and and stories, and he had just signed with l A. And my sister said last night I will never forget. And she said, and I was thinking of this as you were interviewing him post game that we all had had a couple of cocktails and we were in the back of a car we weren't driving and just talking about this season and they were leaving the next morning and I said, hey, nine, I expect to get that interview on the field when you win this thing. And he was in the back and he's like, oh, yeah, you know it, and my sister is like, and you got it, so yeah, well it gets that thing. And again we're spending so much time talking about them because I was saying to him when we when the game was over and we all had went out, I covered the the o n sixteen season, and then he was the number one draft pick to the Detroit Lions after that, and I had so many games because I had so many assignments in the NFC North, because I was on the sea crew and had the bad teams over and over and over again, and I was like, dude, I'm so I'm just freaking happy for people that do it the right way. There's not one person that says a bad thing about him or her. They're easy to root for and it's just nice to see them have success. Um and for Joe Burrow. And if you do say a bad thing, you're an idiot and you don't know anything about the NFL or who he is. Yes and boring. And I'm gonna say this too, because I was on the sidelines good or Eric Weddle, I have become. I've always respected Aaron Donald, but I had an incredible conversation with him a couple of weeks ago leading up to the Week eight team game. He was so candid and wonderful and I just I'm starting and I told you this like with tom um Ah Brady um like, and then I said it to Aaron Donald. I really want to let these guys know it's just been a privilege to cover them. And I think that has a lot to do with John Madden passing and seeing you know how much people have spoken about him and everything I want them to know. So watching Aaron Donald want this so badly on the sidelines and getting the guys together and just giving that speech, There's so many great people that give everything, and I'm promped for the game and we're back. I think what's interesting for me. I mean, as you know, obviously been in this industry a long time with you, and I know what goes into your preparation for a game like the NFC Championship game. But where's that moment for you and like take us behind the curtain where you know the game's about to start, or during the national anthem, were like, what's your feelings and your emotions when you're about to work you know you've worked how many Super Bowls? Now? Three? Your three super Bowls? I think so. But it's just it's your big stage too, you know, for a moment like that, and all the preparation in eighteen weeks of the regular season and playoffs and everything sort of culminating in that moment for you, take us behind the curtain of like what happens for you one game day. You just don't want to mess up. I think it's the largest audience will have the whole season because we don't have the Super Bowl, and this is it contracts up at the end of the year. You've worked your ass off. You know, this matchup really well. The studio cruise there, the bosses are in the truck. Okay, I'm not throwing or catching anything out there on that field, but I don't want to suck it up because it's the beginning of the game and everybody's watching. So you saw me. I mean, I'm a rack, I'm pacing, I'm talking to myself. I get fifteen seconds. It's that's my entire year in fifteen seconds, and it's crazy. I'll start thinking Joe's gonna throw to me. Right We're in commercial We're in commercial and I'm like, how much longer in this commercial? How he's dog walkers here? This is live? Um, so they're like thirty seconds and you start thinking, okay, thirty seconds, what am I talking about? Who am I talking about? What? And then you're like, oh my god, what will you stop it? Yes? So, um, it's a lot. There's a lot of mind games that happen. You just don't want to mess up. And then you saw me once it was over. Once it's over, it's like smooth sale and baby I'm running. Well it's funny too because knowing you, it's like I don't want to bother you and I don't want to say too much, but I get that feeling where you want to be focused because it is only fifteen seconds and it's your job. You have fifteen seconds to do exactly what you're supposed to do, and everyone at home I know I do it. I I fully judge other people when they mess up in a short amount of time, and I'm like, totally, you messed up fifteen seconds of talking. How hard is it? It is really hard and a feeling, but you crushed it. Per usual. I get so excited, like a total stage, momb I like wait, I like watch on the monitor, and then as soon as you're finished talking, I feel like I'm relieved. It's like a whole thing. So I'm just excited for you to add yet another NFC championship to your resume, because they're not as we stay with Brady twenty two seasons, they come and they go and they go really quickly. So uh, let's dive into that first hold on and then let me just say the other thing people don't realize, because this is what I've been killing myself about for the last two days, which people don't get is then you have the postgame. Your first hit is the biggest one, and then the post game and the last couple of years, I've had the losing interview because my team hasn't won. So this year I got Matthew and that's the one. As it's started, the seconds are starting to you know, tick down, You're like okay, like buzz um, You're thinking, alright, alright, um, this is it and this is his first time. What am I doing? What am I doing? And you only get three? Right, But there's stress that's also with that. Forty niners are driving. I've got to pay attention. Okay, Aaron Donald is applying pressure to Jimmy Garoppolo. There's a there's a pick. What's happening. Now, go find Matthew Stafford. So I'm following him, but I also want to give him his time, but I also want him to know I'm right here. I'm right here, and I need to get you. Please don't go anywhere. And it was pretty great. He looks over at me and he's like, I need to go get a hat. I need to I said, okay, I'm just gonna stay near you. So I stay near him, and you want to stay away from water bottles. I walked through like offensive lineman like, and I said, please don't squirret me, Please don't squirre me. These are all things that are happening. And then you're thinking, what's my first think? Right as I'm doing it, I start to feel my right nostrils starting to leak a little, and I'm thinking, come on, and I know they're not it is not at a time like this, and I know they're not showing me, but you gotta think breath questions right nostril. And I'm like, I'm sorry, Matthew, I know we're friends, but I think I'm my right, Yes, my right nostrils starting to leak. This is bad. Did you say that to him? No, but I'm thinking it. I was gonna say that. Wouldn't surprise me if you did. And right. And then as I'm in the car and we're leaving to go to the hotel and everybody's really quiet, I said, oh God, and everybody goes on and I go. I didn't ask him about three sixty five to the day, like I didn't say a year ago today. I didn't bring that up. I didn't ask him about his defense. What was the other one the other night? I I just you're still thinking about these questions. Oh yeah, I was walking Howie the other great story, walking how yesterday morning, and you know, we're in Los Angeles and my neighbor who I don't really know, saw me and he goes, great game yesterday, thank you. Ben Over grabbed like a double bagger of ship. Yep. And I thought to myself, I forgot to ask him about it's the year to the day, like this is what I do? Yeah, you obsessed, because that's also it's the competitor in you, and you want to be perfect. And you get a reaction after a guy is going to the super Bowl and that's all that matters, and you get real emotion, and so you can beat up on yourself, but you shouldn't. So what is um What is the first question? Because even going back to the whole Richard Sherman situation from years ago, what is the moment that you decide what you're going to ask? Like as it as you're walking to him, is that the time expires? Like where's the first question coming from? Great question? You have to kind of visualize. I mean, the one thing I was texting my dad the whole time, Hey, if you've got anything, let me know. Joel Santos was standing there right with me, and Joel said, remember he said when I got traded, I wanted to play in meaningful games. That's it, you know, if something would have happened on the field at that moment, I asked about that, But then we had this awesome shot with him as the defense is out on the field and they're trying to make a stop. He just again, last week I talked about Aaron Rodgers wanting to puke, look like he was having an outer body experience, and he I wanted to know what that was like. And then he brought up the defense. Because as I was leaving the field, I said to my dad, God, I did not about the defense, but my dad said, well, he mentioned the defense right there. It's fine. A lot of a lot of Devil's Advocate. You can play with yourself, a lot of Monday morning quarter but crazy, it's crazy, but no, But that's you know. You're in the position you're in because you care enough, even about the questions that you didn't get to ask to your previous point, you garner emotion, you get information, and you react to what happens next. So awesome moment for you again, another thing on your resume. Go before we get to Brady, and let's do it after this. I told you this a bunch of people I wanted to see on the field. I wanted to hug people. I wanted to piss people off on the internet. And um no, I'm kidding. I don't remember who he was. It happened really quick. It was a coach. He was crying. He came up to me and I thought he was gonna be like, awesome job this year, he goes, I love the podcast. It was cool. Well after she you know, hugs Matthew and the whole thing. We're on the field looking for you. I'm texting you on the field and I'm like, where are you? Like, we want to say high, we want to give you all the thing, and you were already outro um because you had to get in the card. Go. But yeah, there was and then there was this really sweet girl that she came up and she was like, I love your podcast. I go, you are adorable. Stop it to anyone that like cares enough to say that. As we're on the field after the NFC Championship games, so a lot of fun. They're a guy that's won a lot of a f C Championship games and an NFC Championship game on his resume, Tom Brady after twenty two seasons, he finally says it himself that he's walking away. Doesn't use the word retire. So is the window still open? Is it not? In that concession speech, there's no word retire. So oh, he never to bring that so he you know, the news was reported earlier this week, which Peyton Manning even said, who did he come back? He's not gonna like that that news is reported because tom Brady is being selfless, would put himself in the position of the other four teams at that point that we're still in contention for the super Bowl. But anyways, news is reported he's going to retire. Everyone's like he hasn't said it. He finally on Monday takes to Instagram and said, what do you think about that? On Saturday? Way, um that the report? Yeah, so I'm not in the breaking news business. I'm not Jack, I'm not Adam Schefter, I'm not you know, Chris Mortenson. I So I don't know what the protocol is on that, Like, are we two sources? Were three sources? When it's tom Brady out? Wait till tom Brady told me that I could report it. But again, I'm not gonna speak. I'm gonna have an opinion on anything. Huh. But I don't know what the protocol is. So the individuals that reported it obviously felt like they could, you know, verifying the uh the news. But yeah, I just with something like that, and like the greatest player of all time in the sport, I felt it was he should have announced it, But what do I know? So that's my opinion on it. Yeah, I feel the same way. I I don't want it to be over. Now that you just said he never said retire, maybe that it's not. I think he's going to go into ownership. I do, which will be exciting because I mean, that guy's not going to stay at home. He's gonna he's gonna be at the office, grinding it out, trying to figure out. I'd love to be your GM. Tom, Um, I don't. I'm gonna inject Aaron was very upset about this news. You're much closer to him. I bet him, want friend with him, But you were really really upset. When upset, Um, Well, it's just I the last dance was so cool to watch and I was a kid, I wasn't in the industry. And I'm selfish, and I said it in my post today. I'm selfish. I don't want this to be over. This is my Michael Jordan's, this is my history. This has been so cool to report on him. It's so cool to do these conference call with him. He doesn't talk to us like everybody else. He breaks it all down. He I almost put this in a post today. It's awesome when the stars just treat you like everybody else. They're just normal and they treat you. They should do that, but it's not the way it always is, and the access that he provides us when we cover him. All of us are texting each other when we are on a conference call with Tom Brady because he just talk Troy de Troy Joe, our producer, and our director and we are all sitting there and Ronaldi and we're on the phone and he is just talking to us like we're his buddies from home, and he's breaking it down and a lot of stuff we can't use for broadcasts, but we're sitting there texting each other like this is fucking awesome, This is amazing. Wow, he's fucking cool because it's it's Michael Jordan's telling us this. It's Wayne Gretzky. It is one of the best to ever it is the best to have ever played, and he's giving us this. In Fight Only V I p entrance seat, all the risk bands make it through security. Wanted to be over. I'm not ready. I'm upset. I don't want it to be over. I've enjoyed the access. I appreciate he has a family. I love his family, but I'm selfish. The NFL is better when Tom Brady is playing. But the NFL is in good hands with a lot of you know, young talent and good guys, and there is a time to walk away. And you know, watching some of the news coverage on it this morning, I like good boarding football where Kyle and it was Kyle or Schrieger whoever it was, was talking about. Maybe it's Chris who I mean, can I name them all? Um? I was talking about that's the ability, ability, ability that he got to walk away on his own terms, and not because he was hurt. I mean, Peyton Manning was forced to leave the game because of his injuries. And you know, some of these guys don't get a choice, and they don't get to do it on their terms, and they don't get to walk away one game Shy at the NFC Championship game again, right, I mean that's Tom Brady went out on a last minute drive and just fell short, whereas Michael Jordan went out in the Washington Wizards uniform. And so it's it's that whole thing too, is right off into the sunset. But it's cool. I mean I feel different, but the same as you. I didn't have the same access, not working his games, but just being able to, you know, be a part of the NFL when he was a part of the last twenty two years. I was looking at this today, this um my screenshot at it because I was just like, holy, um, twenty two years, seven times Super Bowl Champion, three times NFL m v P, six times All Pro, NFL's all time passing touchdown, like on and on and on. And then they were like, you could break Brady's career into three parts and each part would stand alone as a Hall of Fame credential, three rings, one ring in the middle of three rings at the end. It's like this anyways, So I just thought that was cool, like to you know, I have two Brady moments in my life that I want. I've been vocal about the other one I haven't, but I today one was um, I my first sit down interview with him in New England, and I was shocked. He even said, yes, I took a red eye from Dancing with the Stars to go do it. I didn't care. I practiced. I knew him personally from Montana, but this was my first sit down and I was on zero sleep. I wanted to look fantastic. I couldn't smile through any of it because my lips were shaking so badly. And my dad when I called him afterwards, he was like, what are you okay? And I just started bawling, and he said, well, what's wrong? And I said, it's never going to get better than this. I interviewed the best player that's ever put on a jersey in the NFL, and he's so wonderful. Dad, and I couldn't smile because my lips were quivering so bad. And I wrote him a thank you note and I told him that and he's just the best. But one of the coolest moments off the field with Tom Brady was this past summer. We're in Montana. He my husband. He's so great to my husband, and my husband goes and tries to catch passes for Tom in the summer and it's very well refused. Yeah, from TV twelves footballs. But I went and it was the final My dad came to visit and it was the final day Tom was throwing before I had to leave, and I said, Dad, do you want to go watch Tom throw? Do you want to go meet him? And he said, let's go do it. We wrote down to the field, put my dad on a picnic table. Tom came over and talk to my dad for fifteen minutes. I sat on the picnic table with my sister severely hungover, and Tom said, e A, I need you, and I said for what, and he goes, I got, I got his shag balls. Girl, I don't have anyone out here. And I was like no, And I just thought to myself, I know how competitive he is. If I don't line these footballs up correctly, if I don't bring them back at the right time. So I sobered up right away. My husband would catch the ball, he would throw it to me, I would run it. I would put it in the bag. So this happened like eight times. And then once the devil bag was full, I said, what do I do? What do I do? Jarrets like go run it to him. I take the Deffel bag. I'd run it over to Tom and Alex Guerrero and darts like lay him out laying out these balls. And I did this probably like ten times. And each time i'd run the bag back, He's getting worked on by Alex. He's like, thanks, thanks you A. And I was like the best day in my life, no problem. And then I'd run back and get ready like I was Julian Edelman or Chris Godwin or Mike Evans, and like I had the biggest job in the world, and my sister was doing it as well out there with me, and the three of us got in the car on the way up to the house and my dad goes, that was awesome, and Kender's like that was amazing, And I was like, this is the best day of my life. Shaggy balls for top bringing it. I'm lining them up like I'm a legit ball boy. You were sending me text you were like, holy sh it. I was so nervous. I was gonna mess something up. And I'm like, mess up what? Like you're just throwing balls? But even a summer workout in Montana he took seriously. Yeah, so sad for the game of football because it's the greatest to ever do it. But what a gift we got, especially for someone like you who you know covered him front and center. Remember the shot of Andrea Kramer in the last dance that they showed where she was like this, yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean I guess I was like that. But Saturday I was bombed. I I know those guys have a job to do. I just didn't think we needed that. I would have led the greatest of all time announced it himself. Yeah. So Super Bowl fifty six matchup is set Cincinnati Bengals, Los Angeles Rams. Tom Brady's retiring. So much going on now. The most important question I have for you is re entry, sister. We talked about it last week. For those of you that we're not listening. Last week, re entries when Aaron indoctrinates herself back into her household after being on the road for the past two odd weeks, and you are now in re entry mode. Are you ready? Um? I am. I have to leave out of town tonight for a work event, and I know, but my closet is really messy. It's really bad. I still have not impact from Green Bay, San Francisco.
