When your bestie ghosts you for a little too long, it’s straight-up betrayal. And if that bestie is Charissa Thompson and the one getting left on read is Erin Andrews, you know the drama is gonna be top-tier. On their podcast, Calm Down with Erin and Charissa, Erin wasted no time airing out her feelings, and honestly? She had a point.

“She’s having an affair with a ranch, and it’s really pissing me off,” Erin fake-raged, acting like Charissa had run off with some cowboy. Charissa, unbothered, played right into it. “And he’s a great lover,” she shot back, completely owning her ranch romance. But let’s be real—no actual tea here. Charissa’s just been off the grid, vibing in nature, and conveniently ignoring texts. “There really isn’t service in a lot of places, so it’s my built-in excuse to not get back to people,” she admitted. But don’t worry, Erin’s still top-tier on the VIP call list.

Not that Erin was letting her off the hook that easy. “Hi, how are you? I’ve missed you,” she said, hitting her with peak guilt-trip energy. Meanwhile, Charissa was just out there living her best soft life—fresh air, no notifications, zero chaos. While Erin was back in the real world, suffering from bestie withdrawal.

Eventually, they switched topics to something even more relatable—starting a self-help book and then immediately forgetting about it. Charissa picked up a Mel Robbins book (read: barely got past the intro), and Erin wasn’t doing much better. “Oh, I only got the introduction,” she admitted. Classic. But of course, they decided to bring it up on their “Big Show” because, let’s be real, these two can literally make anything entertaining—even a book they’ll probably never finish.

Erin & Charissa’s next era: New vibes, same icons

Fox NFL coverage just won’t hit the same without Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson. These two weren’t just sideline reporters—they were straight-up legends who helped Fox stay on top for over a decade. Even though they never actually worked a game together, their bond was unmatched. Charissa even called her time at Fox her “longest-lasting relationship and my best one.” But now? They seem kinda dipping, and while it’s the end of an era, don’t freak out—they’re not disappearing, just leveling up.

Charissa already secured the bag, sticking with Thursday Night Football on Amazon Prime Video. Where she’ll keep running the show for pregame, halftime, and post-game coverage. Erin, though? She might be making a lowkey return to her NHL roots. She was just spotted with her husband at an LA Kings event, and now the internet is in full detective mode—was it just a cute date night, or is she scoping out her next move? Since she did start her career covering hockey, a rinkside comeback wouldn’t be shocking. But before any official announcements, she and Charissa will reunite on March 7 for the She is Football Women’s Summit, proving they’re still booked and busy.

And retirement? Yeah, that’s not happening anytime soon. But when they do slow down, they’ve got the most unserious plan—local news. Charissa Thompson spilled on their podcast that they hope to host a chill morning or evening show in a Florida retirement community. Erin, however, had one non-negotiable: “I think we should have a 10 o’clock morning show,” she said, because early mornings are a no-go. Imagine these two kicking back, running a small-town news show, and maybe even bringing their husbands on for a segment. Sounds like peak vibes.

So yeah, their Fox era might be over, but don’t expect them to dip completely. Whether it’s Amazon, the NHL, or some cozy little news station in Florida, one thing’s for sure—wherever they go, they’ll be thriving.
