Starting point is 00:00:00 I hate gift giving and receiving. Receiving gifts is so weird. What do you say thank you? This is Coffee Convo's with Kale Lowry and Lindsey Chrisley. I really want you to be in your feels, Kale. That does not interest me whatsoever. I feel very attacked by you. A spirited discussion about motherhood, friendship, family,
Starting point is 00:00:17 and life in the public eye. I'm just not with the fakery anymore. There's a fakery bakery around here. Here's Kale and Lindsey. Good morning, Kitty Cat. Good morning. This is comfy convos today. Look we're kind of wearing like the same but different. Yeah and I forgot a necklace and I feel suffocated but I was late to the recording because I first of all decided yesterday, today's tax day, happy tax day everyone, yesterday that I was getting a new camper, like a new camper on a whim, had to go sign the paperwork for
Starting point is 00:00:52 that and then Isaac had an orthodontist appointment. So I go pick him up from school and then he's like, do you think we can go to Panera to eat lunch before I go back to school? And I said, no problem. And I drop him back off at school and I'm driving my happy ass home and suddenly had this urge to go to the bathroom. And I was like, okay, I need to find a bathroom, need to find a bathroom. All back roads, winding back roads,
Starting point is 00:01:17 see a church that looks abandoned but there's a porta potty behind it. So I said, perfect. I pull off on the side of the road. There's no shoulder. So my vehicle is half in the grass, half on the road, back road, I'm running. Leave my car on.
Starting point is 00:01:35 Running to the porta potty, okay? Never seen this church before, never been on this road before, have no idea where I am. There's a padlock on the porta potty, okay? A pad lock. I said, what in the fuck? Why not? If you're just going to not have this porta potty open, why are we not sending
Starting point is 00:01:52 it back to the company that you got it from? Okay. Because people like me will think you can use the porta potty. Doesn't work. Get back in the car and I'm riding dirty, holding on for dear life until I shit myself. So do you know what it's like to call somebody and say, what are you doing? And he's like, I'm just chilling, you know, whatever he's doing. And I said, where? And he goes outside and I go, where? And he goes by the
Starting point is 00:02:18 old camper. Cause my friends coming to, he bought the camper from, from me. Um, he's cleaning out the camper. Great. Love that. Meet me in the back of the house. I got to drive through the grass. I need to get in the sliding glass doors so that I can get in the shower. Is it all over your car? No, thankfully, I was like this. So I'm like the like the center console is here. So I'm up on my elbows with my foot on the gas like this. And you know, these leggings are I got a three pack of these leggings from Amazon and they truly
Starting point is 00:02:52 already were my favorite leggings like comparable to Lululemon. And they really held everything in so there wasn't a whole lot of cleanup in my car. But I remember last week we talked about Prunubho and that like in-depth scan or whatever. Yes. Mine's on May 8th. I scheduled it. Oh, you already scheduled it?
Starting point is 00:03:11 Yeah. I did the full body, most in-depth option. And it's like a four, I want to say it's like a 45 minute in-depth scan from head to toe. You can do one that's like just your head or just your torso, but I'm like, honestly, I might have I honestly, I might have IBS, I might have colon cancer. It could go either way. I was just watching somebody's Instagram about people being diagnosed with colon cancer like earlier and earlier and how early detection is so important. Remember my friend Katie
Starting point is 00:03:38 Herold who did the Southern Tea with me? She just went in for a colonoscopy and said that they found like a 10 millimeter polyp and anything like 10 millimeters and above has a higher risk for colon cancer in the future. That's terrifying. I'm friends with a survivor of colon cancer who's about my age and she was misdiagnosed initially with IBS. I had somebody on the Southern T actually two girls that started this apparel company to support colon cancer.
Starting point is 00:04:09 They were talking about how that was their first signs too. Well, I'm highly concerned and I'm hoping that after I get through this, it's like three to five days for your full results for the scan or whatever. I'm going to figure out where to go for a colonoscopy. The problem that I'm running into that I know other people have experienced is certain doctors will like literally fight with you because you're not old enough or you don't fit the typical criteria to get a colonoscopy or get a mammogram or whatever the case may be. And unfortunately, and fortunately for me in this situation, nobody in my family that I know of has ever had cancer. Like on my mom's side. Yeah, I know for a
Starting point is 00:04:50 fact on my mom's side, like none of my grandparents have had cancer besides skin cancer, which I think was like, I hate to say it, but like self-inflicted, like in the sun with no sunscreen, like that kind of thing. But nobody's had, knock on wood, nobody, I can't speak for my dad's side. I don't know about my dad's side, but my mom's side has never had anything like that. And completely unrelated news. Let me tell you what I woke up to yesterday morning at 7 a.m. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:15 A text from Kristen saying, hey, can you call me whenever you get up? And I'm thinking to myself, oh my God, it's an emergency. And like, she doesn't want to tell me what it is. That's the way. And I'm still like half asleep. So I call. And I'm like, Yeah, like, what's going on? And she goes, I need. Oh, she said, I said, text me. Okay, well, I fucking did. And I called. And I said, What's going on? And she starts rambling off some shit about the IRS. And I'm like, why are we talking about the IRS at 7am? Like that seems a bit extreme. And she's like, I need to send a code to your phone. So I wanted to make sure
Starting point is 00:05:55 you were like up and about and near your phone so I can send for the code. And she was like, tomorrow's taxi and I was like, oh, so you're calling the IRS. Like I was literally still asleep. You're like, oh, this is a nightmare I didn't want to wake up to. So I actually woke up from a nightmare this morning, which I'm going to tell you about in a second. But also my next nightmare came at 715 this morning when Kristen texted me again and said, I need you to go to the bank and do X, Y, and Z. And I'm like, wasn't really on my to-do list to do today, but sure, hon, I'll go to the credit union.
Starting point is 00:06:32 I want to become a part of the credit union. Right. And you know what? I'm just thrilled to say, I am not going to be addicted on tax day. No, and I'm not going to be addicted on tax day either. be addicted on tax day. No, and I'm not going to be addicted on tax day either. Okay, so this nightmare that I woke up from this morning. No, first of all, backtrack because I get a text from Lindsay. At let me let me pull this up. I get a text from Lindsay at 710 this morning. And it said, kale, I just had the craziest dream about us last night last night and woke up crying. And I
Starting point is 00:07:07 said, Are you okay? And she said, No, I'm distraught. I was I was crying this morning. And it felt like one of those dreams that feels like it lasts for like days on end. Yeah, I hate those when they're just like, like they just read you of anxiety, not read you fill you with anxiety. Rig you. It rings you.
Starting point is 00:07:30 No. So I wake up and I'm like a sweaty mess and have tears rolling down my face. I really thought that we had been kidnapped. And I think that the reason that these dreams keep happening to me is because I am so obsessed with Harlan Corbin's adaptations. So I just keep watching them over and over again. And that's what I go to bed to. I don't know who that is.
Starting point is 00:07:52 It's an author. Who is it? Harlan Corbin. Oh, Harlan Cobin. Oh, Harlan Cobin. Yeah, that's who it is. I keep watching all of the shows that have been made from books because obviously I'm not gonna read them all. And that's what I go to sleep to.
Starting point is 00:08:08 And there's like all this crazy shit that's happening. So I think that I like get people on my mind when I'm going to bed and then they just become a part of this dream. So you and I were in this box truck, like in a large city but like in the back of it, we did not have cell phones. So I have no idea like where they kidnapped us from. Okay. And we could hear them talking like in the front of the truck. Oh, this sounds like it's straight out of a movie. It's like
Starting point is 00:08:35 the movie taken. Literally we were taken. And we were riding around and I kept trying to tell you, Hey, we can figure out where we are if we just like remember the ways they're turning. Like we knew where we were. So remember like right, left, right. Okay. Which is what they teach you to do if this ever happens. Right? So we were just like in the back of this truck
Starting point is 00:08:59 for such a long period of time and we never got out and I woke up before we had escaped. That's terrifying. That's like, that is truly terrifying. for such a long period of time and we never got out and I woke up before we had escaped. That's terrifying. That's like, that is truly terrifying and we'll have you anxious for the several days following that. Listen, who would be brave enough
Starting point is 00:09:14 to take both of us together? First of all. Like maybe one of us, but not the other. Lindsay has the brains and I think the cool common collectedness to be able to do right, left, right, left. And then I have the strength to like help bring this person down. Did I ever tell you about the time that I went to Panama and Hulk nasty comes out, right?
Starting point is 00:09:37 Like me and Lindsay get kidnapped together. She's the brains, I'm the strength and we're getting out of this shit alive. Like that's a true movie. Okay. Did I tell you about the time I went to Panama? City? No, Panama the country. No, you went to Panama for real?
Starting point is 00:09:52 Yeah, I went to Panama and Leah from Teen Mom was supposed to meet me there and she cancels when I'm already there. Like I land, get to my hotel and she cancels and she's like, hey, something came up. Like I'm not gonna be able to make it, whatever. I'm pretty sure she did actually have her flights booked, like she was gonna come
Starting point is 00:10:09 and then something came up or whatever, right? So I'm there, meet other people that I like know there and it just, not to sound booshy or anything, like I'm not trying to be out of touch when I say this, like there was mold in the room, the sheets were wet. It was like- Oh, I remember this, I there was mold in the room. The sheets were wet. It was like, I remember this. I remember it was now it just like wasn't for me.
Starting point is 00:10:30 Um, that specific resort, I would love to go back to Panama another time and stay somewhere nice. Um, cause I've, from what I've seen, it can be really nice, but that specific location was absolutely foul. Um, so I decide I'm not staying here. I'm actually gonna go back home, book my flight to go back home. And I'm like, okay, I'm leaving at like three or four
Starting point is 00:10:50 in the morning. So at this time I had my ho phone. So I had two phones and I'm scared to death because I don't know, like I've never even been to Panama. I don't know anything about it. I don't know like what areas are safe and what are not. Cause every single country has that including America. And so I hide a phone.
Starting point is 00:11:09 Cause you just said in your dream, we get kidnapped and we don't have phones. And this reminded me of the time where I'm like, okay, if something happens to me and they take my phone, they won't expect me to have another phone. So I hid at the time I had huge boobs under my phone, under my boob. Not just like the time I had huge food under my boob, not just like in my shirt, like literally under my boob.
Starting point is 00:11:30 If they kidnap me and take my phone, I will have to be able to contact somebody from somewhere. So needless to say, if you ever go somewhere that you're very unsure of because I was traveling from in the middle of the night, like 4am was kind of crazy. You know what I mean? I did. So should we wear air tags everywhere we go? Like your dream, your nightmare is like giving me...
Starting point is 00:11:52 I told you about that mom that I saw at the park one time that had zip tied air tags to her kids. I get it. I get it. You remember? Yeah. Like isn't that fucking nuts? I'm putting in my kid's shoes? You guys know that I cut my hair not too long ago. And so I know that I'm not alone and feeling frustrated
Starting point is 00:12:11 with hair thinning for a long time. I thought I was just, it was just something I had to accept. But I have tried countless products and nothing really made a difference until I decided to use Vega mores grow hair serum. Vega more is the leader in plant powered science back solutions for thinning hair. Their grow hair serum was recently named the number one Vagamore's Grow Hair Serum.

Starting point is 00:13:52 Speaking of like hiding stuff in your bras, I've never been like put something in my bra girl. Me neither usually. But I see people all the time, like you'll see them they've got like a cell phone like tucked, you know, like down in there like that. I put it in my waistband. Oh yeah, see I'll do a waistband too.
Starting point is 00:14:12 But I wonder how many people are like, I've seen moms at the ballpark like pull dollars like out of their bra. My cousin, one of my cousins puts everything in her bra. Literally everything. Why? Don't know, pack of cigarettes. Kristen said I did that in her bra. Literally everything. Why? Don't know. Pack of cigarettes.
Starting point is 00:14:26 Kristen said I did that in club days, hands free. Hands free. Well, I'm glad that you're okay. I'm glad that we didn't get kidnapped. Although we should film like a funny comedy movie where it's like, like for YouTube or something, you know, where we get kidnapped and how we would react. The only time, since we're going down memory lane,
Starting point is 00:14:48 the only time that anybody's ever canceled on me for a trip was when I landed in New York and you went home on a Sprinter van. That was rough. That was- Chris did it on my birthday. You know what, and when Lindsay canceled on me, or not Lindsay, when Leah canceled on me or not Lindsay when Leah canceled on me that was also team mom days so if there's one common denominator
Starting point is 00:15:11 let it be that. Kristen said it was on my birthday so we brunch together. I had nothing else to do the bitch fucking left me. That was wild didn't like wasn't Chelsea and Cole there and then like yeah yeah yeah Kristen goes I will never forget the Sprinter van. Kale was like get me a Sprinter van. Well there was I brought all my kids and they what I don't even remember what the reason why I left like what the what the problem was. I remember I recall. Um can we do an am I the asshole? Can we do one? Yeah, sure can. Okay, so this person says, my 30th birthday is on the 29th, which is a Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:15:50 My husband is a firefighter, so he works 24 hours on and 48 hours off. He is off both Saturday and Sunday, the 26th and 27th. So we decided to have a get together for my birthday on Saturday. I have been with my husband for 12 years and had never once had a party or celebrated my birthday other than the two of us going to dinner by choice, so this is a first. I'm only doing this because it's my 30th and my husband and our families wanted to
Starting point is 00:16:16 celebrate. While the 26th is also my brother-in-law's birthday, he's turning 33, so I truly didn't think that it would be a big deal to have my party on that day It's not a milestone. He's not a kid and it was the day that worked best for us Well now my brother-in-law is upset my husband sent out the invites and he snapped back saying it's his birthday and he was planning Something too. I'm not offended at all if he doesn't come or wants to do his own thing I totally get it But am I the asshole for having mine on this day? Like I said, him being a grown adult and not being a milestone birthday. I did not think it would be a big
Starting point is 00:16:48 deal whatsoever. But he's pissed called his mom immediately and bitch she has my back though. This one I feel I see both sides because I do agree that like as adults we can celebrate everybody's birthday at any point right? Like if we don't get together on your exact birthday as adults, we can celebrate two days later, a week later even, right? So if that unfortunately fell on his birthday and was the best day for them, like I do get
Starting point is 00:17:18 that, but I also understand brother-in-law because what if that was the best day for him, but he wants to celebrate his birthday? So I see both sides of it. I don't think anyone's wrong. I think everyone can, like both things can be true. See, I only see one side of it. Which is what? Hers.
Starting point is 00:17:35 Oh, interesting. Yeah, I feel like 30 is a big milestone. I mean, shit, I can remember back whenever my parents turned 30, I thought they were ancient. Now I look at it now and I'm like, damn, they were actually really fucking young. I feel like with her husband's work schedule and the fact that he works 24 hours and then is off 48, I feel like that comes into huge play. So it would be probably an entire other week or two weeks before they could celebrate her
Starting point is 00:18:05 thirtieth. And if they had already sent out invitations, it was already well known. So what's the problem with the brother-in-law celebrating his birthday on another day? Fair. I mean, I agree. I agree with you. But I also see, you know, if the brother was like, what the fuck, or I mean, we are all adults and I'm not saying that 30 is not a milestone
Starting point is 00:18:25 but like, could you not have just celebrated together? Well, that too. Also, I wanna know the people who are listening to this, who celebrates your birthday every year like after 30? I'm never celebrating my birthday again cause I have the phobia of getting old. So don't literally like, unless we're celebrating the year before,
Starting point is 00:18:43 like I can't, I don't want. Oh my God. My kids gave me a cake this year that was, it literally said 29.4. Wait, stop. I swear to God. Kristen said her last birthday celebration was her 23rd and it was her wedding.
Starting point is 00:18:58 And that's also your golden year. What is the golden year? The 23rd. Oh, I didn't know that. Because, wait, am I crazy? Is 23 the golden year? Well, because her wedding was also on the 23rd. That's what I was saying. My last birthday party was my wedding. It was my 23rd birthday party. It was your birthday, your wedding and your golden year, your 23rd. I didn't know the golden year was 23. Because you turned 23 on the 23rd. Oh. It says a golden birthday occurs when a person's age
Starting point is 00:19:31 matches the day of the month that they were born on. So for example, if someone was born on the 15th, their golden birthday would be their 15th birthday. Yeah, so hers was the 23rd, it was her wedding and her 23rd birthday. Is that good luck? How did we know that? Because that's just what I've always heard that. Like I've always heard like, and like 14 is my favorite number. I actually had a conversation with that,
Starting point is 00:19:52 with one of my guy friends today. I was like, he was sending me something and I said, is that your favorite number? Like, why are you using that? I said, normally everyone's favorite birthday is their birthday, right? Like isn't everyone's favorite number their birthday? No. Mine's 17. Right. Mine's 14. My favorite number has always been 14. But is it because your birthday? Yes. That's like where you came up with your favorite number?
Starting point is 00:20:18 Yeah. And when I couldn't get that number for lacrosse, like when I played lacrosse in high school, my first, because I moved high schools in 10th grade, so I had to get a lacrosse number in 10th grade. A girl named Amanda was already on varsity in our 10th grade year and she picked 14. So I doubled it and made it 28. But the only way that I was able, the only way to rationalize it in my head was,
Starting point is 00:20:41 okay, well, what is it like integers? Like 14 is an integer of 28. So I was like, okay, that's basically the same, you cut it in half. So that's how it became Lowry 28. That's so interesting. My, my favorite number has always been like between four and five. Okay. Lux, Lux tries to get number four for his sports because that's his dad's favorite number. Oh, and Lux and I are like the same people. Yeah, he's so funny. He, yesterday we were walking into school.
Starting point is 00:21:10 Like, I don't know if Jackson's school has this, but you can get in the car rider line or you can park in the parking lot and walk over. Yeah, we have that. And so ever since I am trying to like get more steps in and like just whatever, I park and walk. I've been doing that for several months now. And we see Elijah's cousin, first cousin, his son goes to Lux's school and he's always
Starting point is 00:21:34 in a good mood in the morning. And I'm like, Sean, you are always in a good mood. What the fuck? And he's like, I have to be, I take Lyons main. And Lux was like, oh, you should give that to Elijah. That's not a Lindsey Chrisley thing to say. Wait, but like, what does Lion's mane do for your mood? I guess it's a mood booster. I don't know. I know I know it helps protect brain cells allegedly.
Starting point is 00:22:00 Well, I need that because I don't like anybody to specifically talk to me for two hours. Like once, like once I've been awake for two hours, then you can talk to me. Well, what's so funny is that you and I were talking about going to New York together. And I said to Kristin, I was like, could we do an episode while we're getting ready? Because for time purposes, we won't have time anywhere else to like do all the things and I was like, so we could do two for one and she goes, Lindsay doesn't
Starting point is 00:22:31 want people to talk to her while she's getting ready. So how is that going to work? I mean, I guess if the listeners want it, I'll do it, but I don't love it. You don't? But I don't love it. I don't love it. You don't? But I don't love it. I don't love it. It's just kind of like an unnecessary thing. Like why the fuck are we talking? Like let's just be quiet. Like is your head not loud enough that you're like there's enough going on?
Starting point is 00:22:56 Is your head not loud enough? Is your head not loud enough? Like do you have voices in your head? And they're like shhh. It's like all of a sudden I like have do you have voices in your head? And they're like, shh. It's like all of a sudden, I like have some type of mental disorder that I find out about.
Starting point is 00:23:10 I mean, after I get this scan, it's over. Like, we might be finding out some stuff. No, does your brain like not talk to you in the morning? I have, is it called internal dialogue? I have it all day, every day. You do? Hair brain damage. Yeah, I talk to myself all day. Like some people don't have that voice where you can like, like when I talk to myself in my head, it's my own voice, like talking to me. Yeah, it's audible. Like you can hear yourself. Yes. And I, like, like I can talk about my farm animals right now inside my head, but some people don't have that.
Starting point is 00:23:46 Why? Hold on. Some people do not have a constant internal dialogue, also known as an inner monologue or inner voice. Research suggests that this is a normal variation in how people think and process information. Estimates vary, but some studies suggest that 30 to 50% of individuals may not experience an inner voice. Okay. But I wonder if that has anything to do with extroverts or introverts, because I would consider us both somewhat introverted
Starting point is 00:24:25 and we both have it. Yeah, I don't know. I do not. No, when I tell you in the morning, when I wake up, I can hear myself talking, but nothing's coming out. It's in my brain. Yes, I have that all the time. And I'll be like, oh, I need,
Starting point is 00:24:42 and it's not, people are gonna say, oh, Lindsay, that's just you thinking. No, it's my brain cells talking to me. Like we're talking to ourselves. It's like, okay, brush your teeth, wash your face, pack lunch, wake Jackson up, shower, get on Pilates clothes, start a load of laundry, like all those things. Kristen goes, that's called ADHD. Wait, I don't blame my, I don't blame my everything that I do on ADHD, but that could be ADHD.
Starting point is 00:25:16 I think it's trauma. It might be. I really, I think a lot of it is trauma. Or it's just like you, we're very overstimulated people also. So is it the overstimulation that we don't want to hear like another voice So we just listen to ourselves talk in our brain Maybe you know what I'm saying. Yeah, maybe maybe it's a combo. Maybe all the things are true IQ Joe is the instant mushroom coffee from IQ Bar with bold flavors that's loaded with functional brain nutrients and 200mg of caffeine for jitter-free energy.

I have to tell you, did you know that US egg prices have increased to a record high? No, but I do know that I'm the one of the only ones on this whole road right here that has chickens, visible chickens for everyone to see. But somehow if my chicken indeed flew the coop, why my neighbor didn't walk their happy asses over here, knock on my door and say, Hey, I think this might be yours or just put the chicken back over the
Starting point is 00:28:48 fence is beyond me. What was the chicken like dropping eggs other places? No, the chicken is not laying eggs yet because she's still, she's still pretty small. But literally, you know, the neighbor messaged me back on Facebook and was like, I didn't know where it came from. Take a look around. Like, you know, that's my chicken. What, what is that from?
Starting point is 00:29:13 That's from a movie. Take a look around. Take a look around. Do you see it anywhere? I don't know. It's with that woman who died of that weird like illness that nobody could figure out. What?
Starting point is 00:29:28 Yeah, it's the little girl in that movie that, is it something Belle? Her last name Belle? I have no idea. Hold on. Now that's gonna drive me crazy. Take a look around. Wait, see if we can find the clip.
Starting point is 00:29:43 Oh, why is it coming up Limp Bizkit? When I type in, take a look around. Take a look around. Wait, see if we can find the clip. Oh, why is it coming up Limp Bizkit? When I type in, take a look around. Take a look around. Kristen, do you know what we're talking about? It was like a real, it was like a viral real too. Oh, it's Dakota Fanning. She didn't die. No, but I think the mom that was like in that movie
Starting point is 00:30:01 did die. Oh, Brittany Murphy? Brittany Murphy, that's who it was. Oh, well, it's just so obvious. Like I, let me not say that nobody else on this road has chickens, but you can see my chickens. Like, you know that I have chickens, goats, pigs, like you can see them. So the fact that that man got on Facebook and messaged me back and said, I didn't know where it came from. If my chicken flew the coop and you didn't know where it came from,
Starting point is 00:30:27 or you thought, oh, I don't know where this chicken came from, why did you, go ahead. Take a look around. Do you see her anywhere? News, ballash. You're not gonna. That's you. That's what I was like, are we missing a chicken?
Starting point is 00:30:45 Take a look around. Do you see her anywhere? But I was so pissed. I'm like, well, I don't understand if you did not know where that chicken came from and you see, like these are my neighbors directly across the street. Like I can see their house from where I'm sitting right now
Starting point is 00:31:00 and you're telling me that you didn't know where that chicken came from. Are we like friendly with the neighbors to the point where you might like borrow butter or? No, but like, no, I wouldn't borrow butter from them. But like if their kids came over here, they like, I don't know, like I wouldn't, they don't bother me. We don't bother them.
Starting point is 00:31:17 So to me, I'm like, if you didn't know where the chicken came from and you see my chickens from out your window. Yeah, seems like chicken theft to be perfectly honest. Well, it's just like a no because if I I've had flowers delivered, like somebody has sent me flowers and they went over there on accident, they've come over here to give me my flowers. Well, I just want to let you know that you can make a killing
Starting point is 00:31:38 off of your eggs. I know I have I have an egg stand out there. Yeah, but are you making anything off of it? Yes, I make money people I have like, you can put, do the honors. Like how much money? We sell 18 eggs, so a dozen and a half for $6, and a dozen is 450. See, I feel like that's very low
Starting point is 00:32:00 and you're getting robbed because it says. No, because at the store they're $10. It says US egg prices increased again last month to reach a new record high of $6.23 per dozen, despite President Trump's predictions, a drop in wholesale prices, and no egg farms having bird flu outbreaks. This increase was reported in the consumer price index means consumers and businesses that rely on eggs might not get much immediate relief. Demand for eggs is typically elevated until after Easter, which falls on April 20th. Then I saw this TikTok where people were like, I'm not going to be able to afford eggs to
Starting point is 00:32:39 die them for my kids for Easter. Well, you can stop by my egg stand. If there's no eggs, you can text the work line number on the sign. And we have duck eggs that are good for baking. We have chicken eggs. What do duck eggs taste like? They taste the same, but they're just a lot bigger.
Starting point is 00:32:59 Okay, but listen to this. I'm looking at this graph and it shows January of 2000, eggs were 98 cents for a carton. What is it? In January of 2000, 98 cents for a dozen eggs. And now it's all the way up in February of 2025. No, March 2025, $6.23. Bitch, that's highway robbery.
Starting point is 00:33:29 $6, okay, so we sell, hold on, let me pull up the prices. I actually think we do a dozen for four and 18 for six. I'm pretty sure. Yeah, but y'all's are fresh raised and stamped. So- What's crazy, when I took full circle moment in this episode, because when I took Isaac to lunch today at Panera, he said when he eats eggs here versus when he, because he puts them in his salads, he loves to boil eggs and put them in a salad. He said that the taste is different and the color is different when he goes to his dad's
Starting point is 00:34:03 and he makes a salad when he boils the eggs that are like, I don't know what the process is that they do. And I said, why don't you take eggs from over here? Why don't you take them to your dad's? Because, you know, maybe if you're eating them, like why not? Aren't eggs a lot more like orange in color? They're like more vibrant, right?
Starting point is 00:34:22 Yep. And he said, but he said he could taste the difference. I don't eat eggs like that. I do like a good hard boiled egg or a deviled egg. So I don't really remember what store-bought eggs even taste like. I don't really eat eggs that much in general. No, I will fuck up a deviled egg. And completely unrelated news, I saw this article on parents and I thought you would be interested in it.
Starting point is 00:34:43 It says the number of people over 40 giving birth surpasses teens for the first time. This episode is full of surprises. Right. This episode is full of surprises. Oh my gosh. So there are more births happening to 40-year-olds than to teenagers. Yes. It says just a few decades ago, the idea of having kids in your 40s was nearly unheard of. Nowadays, though, having kids in your 40s is fairly standard. More and more couples consider waiting, having kids in order to travel, work, or just keep their lives calm before the chaos starts. And this idea is no longer taboo. New data from the National Center of Health Statistics proves just how much this trend has increased over the past few years and research shows that more parents than ever are starting families well into their 40s.
Starting point is 00:35:30 The NCHS study looked at birth rates among different demographics of Americans, including what age groups are having kids. And here's what it found. That the birth rate is declining. The first part of the study, which was released in early March, found that people are having fewer children than ever. Between 1990 and 2023, the number of babies born in the U.S. dropped by 14%. The data also showed that the number is continuing to decline. For example, parents in the U.S. had an average of 1.66 children in both 2021 and 2022. In 2023, that average dropped to 1.62 children. I, this, okay, I have a lot of feelings about this because I feel like I'm happy for people. Like, obviously I'm not included in the people who are like having a hard time trying or like have to go through IVF and have fertility issues. And that's why they're like, they're,
Starting point is 00:36:23 you know, having children into their thirties and 40s. But I'm for the people who are like really considering and planning and like doing their best to like have like that dynamic nuclear, what did you call it? Yeah. Like the nuclear family, like I'm happy for them because they are getting to travel and they're able to kind of get their life lives together before they bring because I think people underestimate even one child, three children, five children, whatever it is, they're all fucking hard, they're exhausting. And it really does flip your world upside down. So in some ways, I'm really happy for these people. But can you imagine? I can't I can't take my life back of what I've lived and try to imagine what it would be like at 33
Starting point is 00:37:06 and not a mom of an already 10 year old. Yeah. I mean, because I think about now, like my 15 year old versus my one year old, like it's crazy. Like I can't imagine starting my motherhood journey now with my twins, like, right? Like if I didn't have my other kids and I was having them now,
Starting point is 00:37:27 that would be really crazy to have them now that I'm 33 and then starting. But they don't know any different. When you're starting in your 30s, your late 30s, your 40s, you don't know any different. Well, it says, why more parents are giving birth later in life? It says, there's many reasons why parents are choosing
Starting point is 00:37:42 to have babies later in life, but all of them add up to more people are becoming first-time parents after 40. Advances in fertility technology, the fact that fertility care has advanced so much over the decades, has meant that having babies in this age is more feasible and less risk to health of the pregnant person. It says financial constraints get in the way too. The rising cost of living and paying for child care is another factor. Many parents want to be more financially stable before starting a family, It says financial constraints get in the way too. The rising cost of living and paying for childcare is another factor. Many parents want to be more financially stable before starting a family.
Starting point is 00:38:09 And I totally agree with that. I grew up with my nanny saying, oh, well, if you wait until the perfect time, like you'll never do it. But I love the fact that people are thinking about that stuff. Like I had Jackson with the mentality of we'll just figure it out.
Starting point is 00:38:24 That's what I was gonna say. Like I had Jackson with the mentality of we'll just figure it out. That's what I was gonna say. Like, I think that years ago, it's it was easier to say, okay, this is gonna be hard, especially financially, it's gonna be hard, but we'll be able to figure it out. Like you just got done saying that eggs in 2000 were 98 cents for a carton, right? Like, we're gonna figure it out. Yeah, today, we're talking about $6 for a dozen of eggs. And that's just like on the smaller scale when we're talking about, and then you take into account that the older you get,
Starting point is 00:38:55 the higher chances of multiples. Also with IVF, there's a higher chance of, if you implant more than one embryo, higher chance of multiples. So when you're thinking about stability, your financial wellbeing and things like that, you have to take that into consideration. I couldn't imagine somebody on $50,000, $60,000 salary trying to have seven kids and paying for childcare. I couldn't either. Let's talk about makeup for a second because I absolutely love rye cosmetics. So whether you're all about simple mascara and gloss or you love to play with bold shapes and colors, there's always a

Something that I've really like gotten into is these caregivers for like child at home daycares on TikTok.
Starting point is 00:41:13 And some of the prices that they say that they're charging families for to watch their kids for the week. I saw this one girl said that it was $1,500 a week for an at home daycare. Now that could be extremely high. I've never had Jackson in daycare, so I don't know what the prices and stuff like that look like.
Starting point is 00:41:31 But $1,500 for an at-home daycare, a week. No. And then it pisses me off because I'll see him on there serving lunch that they had yesterday, reserving it the next day. And I'm like, for that price, our kid should be getting something very different.
Starting point is 00:41:46 I mean, I think I've said it before on the podcast, my kids that go to private school from September to May, so not even September to June, is $12,000 per child. And I'm about to have three of them in at the same time starting in the fall. So right there alone is $36,000. And that's for, that's not even for a like nine to five workday. That's play care. That's play care. So I mean, we're talking about socialization here and that doesn't come with snacks or served meals. Like I have to send everything. I have to send the snacks, send the drinks, send the water bottles, send the lunch. Like there is no, and so like, I think before, even when
Starting point is 00:42:23 I was a teenager and I had a baby it was we will figure this out Mm-hmm Today, I don't think people can have the same mentality You know what's so weird too I think about back when I was in like church daycare when I was a little kid before my parents divorced Everybody was served the exact same snack like it was provided by the daycare Now that is completely unheard of. When Jackson
Starting point is 00:42:47 went to church preschool, everybody brought their own snack. Everybody brought their own lunch. Yep. Yep. What do you think about that though? Well, what's interesting is, did I ever tell you that like I emailed Tavi and I was like, hey, here's what you owe for like half the lunch account or whatever. And he was like, I thought it was free. Where the kids go to school, public school, kindergarten to third grade is free lunch. But then at fourth grade, it's no longer free lunch anymore. It's hard because like now as time goes on, more people have allergies to certain things. And I think the peanut allergy and tree nut allergy is like inflated now. I don't know if inflated is the right word for it. So that's going to play a factor. COVID played a factor. And then I also think the cost of food and eggs, like you were describing, is so impossible to be able to offer that
Starting point is 00:43:36 expense included in your tuition or your daycare or playcare or whatever. It's so expensive that they can't even offer it anymore. Listen, Playcare sends me. I'm like, the only way people can do Playcare is if they are work from home parents to some extent, or they have family members that can go and be responsible for picking up certain days of the week, because there's just no way that people who are working corporate jobs,
Starting point is 00:44:03 going to a job nine to five, eight to four, whatever it is, that that would be feasible for them? No, I do see a lot of grandparents helping whenever at my kid's school. But even still, yeah, I mean, unless you're paying the extra to make sure that they're there until, because it is open until five or six,
Starting point is 00:44:21 but the programs that they offer with certain prices are for only a certain amount of hours. So in June, I'll have five kids that go there from eight to 12, just to have a summer camp option or to do something because we have to keep that in mind too is like, our jobs don't stop in the summertime. Kristin said that's like the AM PM kindergarten. I did AM or PM kindergarten when I started school. I think I went full day kindergarten.
Starting point is 00:44:50 Wait, what year would you have gone to kindergarten? 97 9798. I think I went if I was born in 89 then I would have gone what and 95. I think so. Yeah, and they did AM PM sessions, but I'm like, where did they come up with that plan? Like what the fuck was going on in the 90s where we were getting eggs from 98 cents a carton
Starting point is 00:45:14 and we had an AM PM kindergarten. I don't think I could, please don't bring back AM PM kindergarten. Please don't do that. Please. Bring back the 90s, but not AM PM kindergarten. Correct, correct. I'm not signing up for that but not AM, PM kindergarten. Correct, correct. I'm not signing up for that shit.
Starting point is 00:45:26 Wait, have you seen this trend on TikTok called sleep maxing? No, what is sleep maxing? Yeah, so it says if you've got a teen or a preteen at home, you may already be familiar with the sleep maxing TikTok trend aiming for optimal sleep. And here's how it can help your family to wake up well rested. So this article is from CNN and it says, what's sleep maxing experts weigh in on this social
Starting point is 00:45:49 media trend? It said, did you remember to wear your red light glasses, eat two kiwi fruit, take your supplements, insert your nostril expanders and make sure that your room is completely dark before heading to bed? Did you do that, Kale? No. You didn't? No, I've never. I mean, I make sure my room is completely dark before heading to bed? Did you do that, Kale? No. You didn't? No, I've never, I mean, I make sure my room is completely dark.
Starting point is 00:46:09 So it says, forget the simple bedtime routine of brushing your teeth, washing your face, and putting on the pajamas. Now people in search of the perfect sleep routine are adding steps that can include supplements, specific foods, certain apps, and other devices, and a layered beauty routine. For some, these practices are part of a regimen called sleep maxing, a collection of activities, products
Starting point is 00:46:30 or hacks that are used simultaneously to optimize sleep quality and quantity. Yeah. I mean, when I was in therapy, like intense therapy, which I start again this week just so you guys know, in case you're wondering, I'm back in therapy, took some time off and now she's back. She would tell me to like get into a routine, specific routine. And now what's fucked up is like, if I'm in like a weird, like medium tired situation and I start reading my Kindle or even a book in general, I will literally fall asleep because that is part of my sleep routine. So I'll literally be barely hanging on, nodding off while I'm reading because it's part of the thing.
Starting point is 00:47:15 I feel like a lot of therapists probably tell their clients or patients, whatever they call them, to make sure that they have a sleep routine that can happen every single night consistently the same way. That's what the therapist has told me that and my therapist has told me that. It's hard because it just doesn't sound like it. It's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like one of those things where you're like
Starting point is 00:47:40 in one ear out the other, but I do feel like if you actually are committed to therapy and like whatever goal you're trying to achieve with like sleeping well, if you actually do that for with consistency, it really does fucking work. It's not people are not just telling us this just to hear themselves talk like it really does work. Well, if you need any tips and tricks for the kids is that some sleep maxing tips are evidence based. Many of the practices include in sleep maxing tips are evidence-based. Many of the practices include in sleep maxing focus on basic habits the experts have long touted
Starting point is 00:48:10 as the holy grail for sleep health. Those tried and true tactics include sleeping in cool, dark, quiet room, limited screen time and exposure to bright lights before bed, not drinking alcohol or caffeine in the several hours before bed, and having a regular bedtime and wake up time. Cool temperature, which should be anywhere between 60 and 67 degrees is conducive to the natural cool down your body needs to prepare you for sleep. Yup. That makes sense to me. It also says blue light from screens and other sources can keep your brain awake and interfere with the production of melatonin, the sleep hormone, and alcohol can cause restless sleep throughout the night. I regularly go to bed with my TV on. I also have my TV on.
Starting point is 00:48:54 I also don't use melatonin, not against it, but I just don't need it. Usually I'm tired, really tired. I'm against melite. Are you? I wasn't always. I'm against melatonin. Are you? Mm-hmm. I wasn't always. I used to give it to Daxin. And then when I talked to his pediatrician, we just made the decision that we weren't
Starting point is 00:49:13 going to use melatonin for various different factors that you can research. Yeah. I've researched a couple things and I think as needed or like adults that can figure it out, but kids, it's a little iffy. But also if it works for somebody else, I'm not here to judge or like whatever, whatever works for you guys. Husband books vacation with kids without his wife. How do we feel about this? Wait, what? Woman told her husband they couldn't afford vacation this year. So he booked a trip with
Starting point is 00:49:43 their kids without her. Well, I think just from that knowledge alone, that's a marriage problem because their finances aren't in line with each other. Her husband says, and I quote, he works hard and deserves a decent holiday. So the woman says she told her husband she doesn't think they should splurge on their annual family vacation this year because they need to pay for an extensive home renovation. The woman who shared her story on the UK based community site, mumsnet.com, says that her husband said that he works hard and deserves a decent holiday.
Starting point is 00:50:17 So he booked tickets for himself and their two teens without her. And the woman is now seeking advice from her fellow community members about how she should handle the situation. She wrote, most years we do an inter-railing holiday around Europe, visiting several countries in a mix of sleeper trains and four star hotels. We always fly back from where we've reached with a budget airline and usually cost more than a standard two week all-inclusive resort type of holiday because the cost of eating out, travel, et cetera, but they love it. That's something they're normally doing. She went on to share that this year they are spending at least $75,000 on an extensive
Starting point is 00:50:54 home renovation. We have no savings and the renovations will be added to our mortgage. And because of this, the woman said that she suggested that they plan a domestic vacation this year instead of going abroad in order to save money for the unexpected cost that the renovations will kick up. And the woman added that her husband refused, telling her he works hard and deserves the vacation. She said that they have been arguing for weeks and ultimately said she would not join him on a costly international trip, to which he said he'd book a trip regardless.
Starting point is 00:51:25 Quote, last week he told the kids, I didn't want to go on holiday and ask them to choose, go with him or stay with me. She continued revealing that her daughter chose to go on the trip and her son chose to stay home with her. I feel like there's so many things that are unfair about that situation. This would be a, for me, for me, this entire situation would be grounds for divorce for the sole fact that it says to add insult to injury, the woman said that now her husband is dropping digs at her in front of the kids saying, I don't understand how money works and that I don't work
Starting point is 00:51:58 as hard as him and that's unbearable. I really don't know what to do. I'll tell you what, I don't give a fuck which baby dad I was with. If this situation happened and we're out here paying for $75,000 in renovations and that's going to be added onto the mortgage, we're not going on an international trip. I do feel like a domestic trip was the compromise. That is a compromise. And if you want to have this home renovation, you have to sacrifice. And I feel like domestic, I mean, even just like a staycation somewhere local and going to do local things as a family would be a compromise. I mean, I feel like there's always something that comes up when you're a homeowner, right? So anything unexpected could come up. Seems as if this project is gonna be underway.
Starting point is 00:52:46 They are set to spend the $75,000. They're wrapping that into their mortgage, which is going to increase their mortgage out room much a month. They are not financially aligned. At the point that there is a financial dispute in a marriage, to me, if it cannot be resolved amicably, that is grounds for a divorce.

Starting point is 00:55:22 married, what's mine is yours, what's yours is mine. If he's gonna throw shots like you don't work as hard as me, you're telling me how you really feel with the financials not even being part of the equation. You're telling me how you really feel about me. And if you're gonna ask the kids what they wanna do and where they wanna go, and you're throwing shots at me in front of them, why are we married? But kids also, in my opinion, should not be involved in conversations like that when it
Starting point is 00:55:50 deals specifically with finances because they aren't contributors to those finances. Right. So they don't know what the dynamic is necessarily. And maybe they shouldn't even know what the, especially as a teenager, like putting that type of adult problem or conversation or things like that on the kids is crazy. So I just, for me, fuck no. I mean, I would literally file for divorce or something like that. No, I absolutely would. I absolutely would.
Starting point is 00:56:17 But I wanna take this conversation a step further. You have built everything that you have on your own. Do you feel like if you got married, that you would be perfectly okay to say what is mine is yours? I do. I have. I don't throw that in someone's face. But what you're talking about to me, that's what we talk about for a prenup.
Starting point is 00:56:39 It's like we're each coming to the table with these things. So this is mine and this is yours. But when, you know, we have that in the prenup and then whatever we do together from the point we're married and forward is ours. I agree with that. So that's sort of where I'm coming from, where I don't know what they each came to the to the table with. If they have teenagers, I'm assuming that a lot of what they have is theirs together. Yeah. So I'll use Elijah as an example. He was working in concrete.
Starting point is 00:57:10 He has a house. Do you know what I'm saying? So for me, I'm not going to try to take what he brought to the table. He's not going to try to take what I brought to the table, but anything that we created while together, what's his is his and what's mine is mine. And anything that we created together is shared, shared joint. In this particular scenario, you know, in the article, I would say like, I'm just considering it to be both of theirs, not like his or hers. I mean, I would agree. And I also think, okay, for example, like if you had two incomes in a household, right?
Starting point is 00:57:46 Let's just play not our incomes, nothing. Two incomes in a household, you both are working normal jobs and your dishwasher goes out. Are you pulling that from joint? Yes. Yeah, I say pull that from joint. I have heard people argue over stuff like that where it's
Starting point is 00:58:06 like, no, you're paying for that. Okay. So I don't, wasn't you, somebody told me something, maybe it was Becky. Somebody told me something where it's like, you know how people talk about 50 50 when they're in a relationship or are we going to share bank accounts? Are we not going to share bank accounts? And it's like taking a percentage, say we'll use 20% or 30%. I get into a relationship with someone and we're each going to put in 30% of our check that month into a joint account. No, it is absolutely not going to be 50-50 and we can't expect it to be, but in order for it to be fair, it's like we can each afford 15% or 30% and that is how it becomes fair instead of doing this 50-50 thing. No, I agree with that because then it's just taking a percentage of what each person's
Starting point is 00:58:59 bringing to the table. That percentage hits you in a different way, just like the other percentage hits them in the same, but like a different way. Does that make sense? I mean, how many people do we really know? And I would love to know from our listeners. Like, if you guys could leave this in the comments somewhere, email it to us. I don't know. What are the chances that you're marrying someone or just even in a partnership with someone who makes exactly what you make. I don't know any single couple, literally don't know any single couple that makes the same amount or within five to 10,000 of the same amount. I've never met a couple that is within that close of a financial situation.
Starting point is 00:59:42 The only people that I could ever think of would be like two doctors maybe. Right. But even that. You know, some people in the same industry, but there's still a discrepancy there too, depending on what type of doctor you are. Same for lawyers. Oh yeah. Like it could be a huge discrepancy.
Starting point is 00:59:59 I would love to know what everybody is going to say about this because I feel like it's going to be mixed reviews. I'll be curious. We'll do a whole segment on it. Okay, so this second person, am I the asshole, says, as I become older, I've become more cautious on who I sleep with. I have a huge fear of ever catching an STD STI
Starting point is 01:00:20 from someone and it has never happened nor do I ever want it to happen. Would it be unreasonable for me to ask this new man I'm seeing to take an STD test before I sleep with him? I've never done this before and I wasn't sure how weird it might be to ask someone to do that, especially when I know most men don't ever get tested. I don't know. I'm for it.
Starting point is 01:00:41 I don't know about most men never getting tested because any person that I've ever been with was a regular tester. I would say get asked for it. I mean, if he says no, that's all you need to know. And condoms don't prevent everything. So my suggestion is it sucks to do it. But I mean, if he's offended, you don't want to sleep with him anyway. If he's compliant and willing to do it, he probably is going to respect you for
Starting point is 01:01:09 asking and also be willing to do it. And that'll tell you a lot of information right there by itself. I'm going to go with she is not an asshole. I feel like that should be common practice within a dating relationship that you should be able to get that provided to you. 100%. 100%. Christian said if he's not, he has an STD for sure.
Starting point is 01:01:31 Or he's scared to find out if he has one. Yeah. But wait, have you ever heard that most men don't get tested? I never heard whether they do or don't. I also think that a lot of men are unaware that STDs can lay dormant and you can carry an STD without having symptoms. Where on the other hand, I feel like because women have to go to the OBGYN or the GYN yearly or whatever the case may be, we're more aware of those things.
Starting point is 01:01:59 And so we know that whether we've had one or not, we know that they can lay dormant. And I think men are just so stupid sometimes that they don't even think about the fact that like, oh, I could spread this not even knowing without even knowing I had it in the first place. Yeah, because I feel like most men if I was in the mind of a man, they'd be like, Oh, I don't have a rash or anything. So my dick's fine. Yeah, like, oh, I don't have discharge. So I'm fine. It's like, you might not have symptoms, turn around, spread it to this woman, and then she has symptoms and you never did. And you're the one that gave it to her. God, can you imagine like dick discharge?
Starting point is 01:02:37 No. Do men get dick discharge? I'm scared to look it up. When men... Like I'm scared to look it up because it's gonna be a photo. When men have STDs, do they get discharge? Penile discharge can be a symptom of several conditions, including STIs like chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomonas... Trick up, trick. Oh my God. Did you look up pictures?
Starting point is 01:03:04 Yeah. Ew. What? Trick up trick. Oh my god. Did you look up pictures? Yeah You see this I'm Disgusted no one looked this up. Oh, why is this on there? fucking kidding You know what? I hate the internet. I really hate the internet. Oh Look at that! Those person's fingers! That's the one that I pulled up! I'm fucking gagging. Okay, I never want to see a dick ever one other time in my life. On that note, we have foul play. Alright, this was my first time to attend the Houston rodeo,
Starting point is 01:03:40 carnival side. As many might know, porta potties, you spread them legs wide and hover. Great, right? Well, I'm 4'11". Although wearing platforms, I'm still short and bottom heavy. So after doing my business, my husband and I wash our hands and head to the next ride, the Ferris wheel. The entrance we took to get on a solo pod was a flight of stairs. My husband gasps and said, hurry up. You have something on your leg. Don't touch it. Just keep it moving. I in immediate panic think Oh my god, it's toilet paper. No, bitch. Worse so much. I mean, worse. Here I am thinking we were about to have a cute make
Starting point is 01:04:14 out session on a Ferris wheel to find out that I have someone else's shit on the back of my leg. Internally, I was screaming and embarrassed as fuck. We got off the ride as soon as it stopped and wash my leg off and doused it in hand sanitizer. I'm scarred for life and I don't even think my legs touched anything. And here I am thinking I'll never have a foul play. We were leaving tonight and I told my husband the shit that happened here to stays here. Don't tell a soul I'm
Starting point is 01:04:37 dead. Enjoy my foul play. I'm hopping in the shower now to scrub my skin off. She did this in real time. She was like, let me tell coffee combos. God. Listen, I hate going to places like that, like fairs, rodeos, carnivals, there's nowhere to take a good piss or shit. No. And I saw you and Becky on TikTok talking about the toilets.
Starting point is 01:05:03 None of those toilets seemed appealing. And the fact that y'all rated a porta potty so high really causes me a great deal of alarm because bitch there is never been one time that I've been into a porta potty that it did not send me to the possible ER or possibly like a state of psychosis? Listen, I don't, at soccer practice and football, there's porta potties and I would just rather hold it or even possibly pee on myself
Starting point is 01:05:34 than to go into one of those. Because nine times out of 10, they don't have toilet paper, they're disgusting, and they're out of hand sanitizer. And in my opinion, you cannot replace hand washing with hand sanitizer. My hands do not feel clean just from using hand sanitizer. Like, yes, you're killing the germs.
Starting point is 01:05:52 But if you have shit on your hands and then you use hand sanitizer, yeah, you might kill the bacteria, but the shit is still on your hands. I 1000% agree. I don't think hand sanitizer is an end all be all. Now I do think that it is great if you're in a pinch and you have nothing else and you can't wash your hands. Like I'm going to use the sanitizer, but I'm a big time hand washer and I will rub my skin
Starting point is 01:06:16 off. Yeah. I just prefer like I carry hand sanitizer, but I prefer hand like. But could you imagine going into a porta potty and your boyfriend walking behind you and he sees somebody else's shit on your legs? No, because what if he thought it was my shit? Anybody that has ever been with you would assume it was your shit. Including me. Okay, you guys voting for the Webby Awards ends today.
