Summary

It’s Pregame time! Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson are back with another hilarious and unfiltered episode of Calm Down, where sports talk meets real life. The duo breaks down the biggest NFL surprise teams through 10 weeks — from the Indianapolis Colts and New England Patriots to the Denver Broncos — and makes the case for why Matthew Stafford deserves a spot in the MVP conversation.

But it’s not all football and stats — Erin and Charissa get real about dating in 2025, modern relationships, and why it’s time to lighten up, laugh more, and stop taking life so seriously. Whether you’re here for the NFL insights, the comedy, or just some real talk about life, this episode has it all.
