“You know what, Taylor [Swift[, so glad you were on that field to celebrate with your boyfriend… Anybody that wants to be a naysayer about that, that means you don’t like watching puppies, you don’t like rainbows and you don’t like a sunny day, like knock it off.” – Erin Andrews, tossing shade like Patrick Mahomes dodging a sack. But hold up! The queenpins of sideline sass, Andrews and her bestie Charissa Thompson, just spiked the mic with a plot twist hotter than a Super Bowl halftime show. FOX contracts? Expired. Podcast era? Leveled up. Introducing the new MVPs of Calm Down…

Their husbands, @stevencundari & ©stolly28. Let the chaos begin! “IT’S FINALLY HAPPENING” the Calm Down podcast’s official Instagram account shared on its story. Move over, ManningCast—there’s a new power couple duo in town. Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson, fresh off their FOX exit, are flipping the podcast script by dragging their husbands, Jarret Stoll (NHL legend) and Steven Cundari (marketing maestro), into the audio end zone. “Think of it like inviting Gronk to a tea party,” Charissa joked. “Controlled chaos, baby.”

This isn’t just a collab—it’s a full-circle moment. The duo’s Calm Down podcast, a 300+-episode rollercoaster of snow angels at Lambeau (“Mike McCarthy booted me faster than a false start,” Charissa cackled) and playing Cupid for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce (“We’re taking credit, obvi,”), has always been their “safety net”. Now, with their better halves on deck, it’s a family affair. “We’ve been hyping this for years,” Erin teased. “Time to see if these guys can keep up.”

Their bond? A 15-year Hail Mary. They met at ESPN, where Erin hit Charissa with a ‘Welcome, I’ve got your back’ hug—a moment so wholesome it’d make Ted Lasso tear up. (Oi! Friendship’s about makin’ biscuits, innit?) Through sideline scandals, IVF marathons (“Nine years, folks—tougher than a Packers winter,” Erin sighed), and fabricating halftime reports (oops), they’ve tackled life like a two-minute drill.

Stoll, the two-time Stanley Cup champ, isn’t just “Mr. Andrews.” He’s the guy who slid into her DMs during the 2012 World Series like a power-play goal. Cundari, Thompson’s post-divorce “glow-up king,” was a setup by Matthew and Kelly Stafford. Together, they’re the ultimate red-zone package.

Why tune in? Imagine New Girl meets Hard Knocks—raw, unfiltered, and dripping with chemistry. From Erin’s shoe-hoarding confessions to Charissa’s rants about lazy daters (“Effort, please—this ain’t Tinder!”), It’s a masterclass in keeping it real. “QUESTIONS FOR ESTOLLY28 & ESTEVENCUNDARI ??? NOW’S YOUR SHOT TO ASK!!” they prompted on their next Instagram story.

Locker room love, mic’d-up mayhem & the ultimate +1 audition

“If he said he likes you, then he needs to pursue you. I’m all about, make a [expletive] effort,” Charissa once snapped, dropping truth bombs like Micah Parsons sacks. Now, fans can grill the guys: ‘Jarret, what’s harder—hoisting the Cup or surviving Erin’s closet?’ or ‘Steven, how’s dating a woman who literally talks for a living?’

This Q&A isn’t just fluff—it’s a redemption arc. After Charissa’s 2023 sideline-reporting scandal (‘I might’ve…embellished a coach quote or 12′), the duo faced more heat than a deep-fried halftime snack. But like Patrick Mahomes in OT, they rallied. Erin Andrews doubled down: “We’re here, messy and unapologetic—just don’t ask about our Google searches.”

The podcast’s secret sauce? It’s the Friends coffee shop of sports media—no topic’s off-limits. Virginity tales? Check. Swiftie crusades? Double-check. Why is chivalry non-negotiable? Open doors, boys. It’s not calculus, Charissa deadpanned. With the guys mic’d up, expect locker-room roasts meets rom-com cringe.

So, what’s next? A legacy play. These two aren’t just hosting—they’re building a universe where authenticity wins the Lombardi. Life’s a lot like the NFL—unscripted, brutal, and beautiful. Andrews and Thompson? They’re the QB-WR duo turning audibles into art. Grab your headphones, folks. The end zone dance starts now.
