Amazon Prime Video Thursday Night Football host and Fox Sports analyst Charissa Thompson isn't afraid to name names on "Calm Down," a podcast she co-hosts with fellow sports broadcaster, Erin Andrews.

While the 42-year-old regularly gushes about how much she loves her Thursday Night Football job, she most recently covered the Baltimore Ravens' thrilling 35-34 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 10, she also loves her fellow hosts, former NFL players Andrew Whitworth, Tony Gonzalez, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Richard Sherman.

However, one co-host in particular co-host has a habit that drives her nuts. On the latest episode of "Calm Down," Thompson called out Whitworth and even tagged him so the former Super Bowl champ would hear her out.

Thompson revealed that Whitworth, 42, has the "Do Not Disturb" feature on his phone all day. "All day? I can't disturb you?" she laments. "You're busy all day?'

"It's like a false busy. Because then he'll write back right away and I'm like well, what's the point of having the 'do not disturb' on?

"I just feel like people, and not just him, I'm seeing a lot more frequency with the 'do not disturb' in the middle of the day," Thompson continued. "Unless, you're taking care of the baby or can't be bothered, I need people to be available in the middle of the day.

"If it's 3 a.m., I get it. You don't want to be bothered. But it's noon. Relax. You're getting really cocky with the 'do not disturb.'"
