I hate gift giving and receiving receiving gifts is so weird. What do you say? Thank you. This is Coffee Convos with Kale Lowry and Lindsay 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 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 Lindsay
This episode of Coffee Convos podcast is brought to you by Lomi Bipua. Visit L-O-M-I dot com slash coffee combos
Hello Lindsay. Can you speak up?
Not like the tiktok speak up. Speak up. I am very low energy today. I'm not okay. I didn't sleep last night
I'm not well today. What were you doing when you weren't sleeping? I don't know. I just was getting up
I got a snack. I went to the bathroom. I sat in the bed. Like I just could not sleep and then this morning
I wake up. So I had got a lot of Eliza
Isaac
He is through and through a preteen and so he doesn't have electronics right now
Oh, he's on our nerves. Yes. Yes. He has no PlayStation. No phone. No iPad
We are heavily focused on his grades right now and just
Good hygiene taking care of what he needs to take care of do what you have to do so you can do what you want to do kind of thing
so that being said I got him an alarm clock and
And stupid me forgot about the snooze option and so I thought this was gonna be the end-all be-all of late mornings
and I go up there at 7 30 none of my he's the only one that came home last night because
The rest of the kids were with their dads for trick-or-treating and you guys know I don't do holidays
7 30 he has to be to school at 8 10 Lindsay
Yeah, he's not with the shit. Sorry. That's me. If you hear me taking a little sip of something
I'm a hypocrite. I lied a couple times in the past week
I'm back on the cope train for those of you who care. I went to Chick-fil-A. I also went after
10 30 and it's always like a good time. You know this feeling that I'm about to describe
You know, you're like past the breakfast, but you hope they like still have some left
And you're sitting in the drive-thru and there's like one car before you and you're like bitch
I will rear-end you if you get the last biscuit
Like don't you know what I'm talking about
No, that's never happened to me. Yeah one time where I ordered it off the app
And then they said I had it and then I got there and then they didn't that just that one time
Okay, no, like every person knows about this if you get in the line late
And it's just like a couple minutes past and you're like, I know that y'all have hash browns up in there
Like I know you do but if this car in front of me gets it and you tell me we're on lunch
I'm specifically gonna ask if they got breakfast in front of me and if they did it's gonna be a little tap-tap tap a real
Not not a fan
Um, but yeah, I was kind of running a little bit late this morning, too
So like I kind of
Feel for Isaac a little bit. I'm not upset with him
although as a mom the worst thing in the world in the morning is
Knowing that you need to be somewhere at a specific time and your kid acts like
They have no plans like they have nowhere to be and all that's like every day
Yeah, like you're a psychopath because you
Remind them of the plans that they know about
He just he's me
Isaac is me as a preteen like everything about him is me and I I
Just I'm concerned
How do you talk to a preteen and like make them understand something that seems so logical
No, and that's where I'm at. It's it's it's and I told him in the car on the way to school this morning
I said, you know, everyone I was pregnant with you
I said everyone told me how hard it would be to have a baby
I said, but nobody ever told me how hard it would be when you're a teenager and he's literally two months away from being 13
And he he looked at me and he laughed and he said would you have had me?
I said, of course, I would have had you he said would you have had all of us?
And I said, I don't know because I don't know how this is gonna go with the rest of them
He just you can't explain they are so like they have a mind of their own and they you just can't explain things to them. So
Maybe I'm going to hell for what I did last night. Maybe I'm not but I
Did and we'll decide if you're gonna burn hell wide. Oh, yeah, I am
What wasn't oh wait, I might know what it was. Oh
Oh, are you gonna out yourself? Does he listen to coffee combos? No, he doesn't listen to coffee combos
So it's about your scam. I scammed him and I had
Someone call my phone and pretend to be the school and basically say
Get your shit together
Isaac will have to attend summer school. First of all, I'm gonna need this said person to come off of mute right now
And I need to hear her school voice
Because I was like he knows her voice. I was like you have to change it
Yeah, I was like you have to use your customer service voice because he's gonna know it to you
Tell me how Lindsay called me immediately after I had to do that and she was like, what are you doing?
And I was like, well, I just skim this shit out of us
She straight up did I was like wait, what did Isaac do?
Okay, give us give us this feel like what did it sound like? It was like
Wait, kill that I say miss Lowry. I
Don't remember. I don't think I was like, oh, yeah
You were like miss Laura and I was like this is she and I like put that part on speakerphone
And then I put everything up on speakerphone all the way up until
she was like
You know based on his English grades right now because Isaac is so smart beyond his like you guys don't understand
Like I'm not saying this because it's my son like Isaac is a fucking genius
Like it's it's it's really weird to say that because like he can do really large numbers in his head and things like that
But when it comes to
English, it's boring to him. So he doesn't want to do it. So it's really just that one class
So I put it on speakerphone all the way up until
And I don't even know just fucking summer school costs money. I don't know
I don't think it does we had rehearsed like the briefest bit kills like hey
I need you to do this. I said, okay, cool. Great. Awesome. She texted me. I jump on the phone this girl decides
Okay, I'm gonna go off script here and we're just gonna like just wing it and she's like
Okay, so what exactly does summer school mean and I'm like
I'm like, well if he fails that then he's gonna have to get held back a grade
So he'll have to do summer school. So I'll have to do seventh grade over again
I said, yes, you'll have to repeat seventh grade. So then she's like, well, how much does this cost?
And I'm like again off script. I'm like
$20,000 wait, okay. First of all
I need to get in
Scammer mode and I need you to like pretend like we're Isaac right now
I I changed her number in my phone and I had to remove her picture and I put it to his school
I was like Miss Lowry and she was like this is she I said, I'm just calling to discuss with you Isaac's grades
They're not looking so good right now
You know what you know what I thought of when Keel was like he can do big numbers in his head Matilda
She can do big numbers in her head. No, literally like literally Isaac is Matilda in male form. I
I I literally cannot like I'm not looking forward to
That age to be honest
Jackson has started getting like very
mischievous and I don't know if that's like the phase that they go through
Before they start going through this phase that you're at literally. Yes, you're yes
You're describing what Isaac went through. He went through like a mischievous
Like and I sent him up to the shower after the phone call and I was like go shower
Do your personal hygiene things put your pajamas on I said cuz we're gonna sit here all night until all your English work is done
And I checked while he was in the shower. I checked his browsing history
I checked everything because I was just like this is a Chromebook at school like I know what the rules are like
It's for academics only yeah that it's it's a weird age. It's a very weird age. Yeah, see I don't
I'm really understand this might be specifically boys, but like maybe some girls do this too
boys think their moms are fucking idiots and they think that we don't know anything and
It's like Jackson the thing that you snuck upstairs that you weren't supposed to have upstairs that you left a trail like on the way there
Like that's how I specifically knew what you were doing like he will literally look me in the face and be like, how did you know?
Well, literally Isaac does the same thing and I'm like, do you think I'm dumb?
I was not born yesterday, and I am dumb, but I am not that dumb and
Isaac is a good kid. So anyone listening to this don't think that I'm like, I'm just I don't know what to like I'm at a loss
I had I did hire a tutor
Not last week because he was with his dad with the week before that because I had football
So I couldn't be in two places at once. So I did hire a tutor
Literally one day with the tutor for English the next day. He got to be on his quiz
So he has all the potential. He just it's it doesn't interest him. So he doesn't care about it
Sounds like you. Yeah, pretty much honestly
In a completely unrelated. No, I forgot to ask you about this and I have an appointment for this tomorrow
How do you like your lash lift intent? No, what?
No
$130 down the fucking drain. Wait, why didn't you send me a picture of it because it was there's no difference
I'll send you a picture. I feel like there's a huge difference. Maybe it was just like done wrong
No, I went to the girl was so sweet
She was so nice and I really don't want to say where I got it done out
But she was like a senior level. I guess esthetician. Are they estheticians? Yeah, I think so
I absolutely love it. I think that lash extensions. We've talked about this before so I don't want to spend a ton of time on it
but I think that lash extensions are
So time-consuming and I don't have two hours to go and do like these fill-ins and like all this shit
And also I like to rub my eyes and I like to clean my face like very good
And so lash extensions are just not for me
Lash lift and tint I can tell a huge difference with mine and they're so much darker
They're like wispy and so cute and I also do my brows and just like do brow tint on the same day and
It's great. Like I love it. I just sent it to you. It just didn't do anything for me. See, I think that they do look different
I think it's just you weren't you were maybe expecting like more
Yeah, like it's not gonna make your lashes grow keel. Yeah, I just think they look shorter like that
Maybe that the the lift part made them look I do love the smell of the chemicals though
Like I and I told her that
You're weird. Are you one of those that likes the smell of like permanent and like markers and gasoline?
No, I don't like the smell of gasoline, but I do love the smell of like
hair color bleach
Perm solution that they used on your lashes and your eyebrows. I didn't get my eyebrows done
But yeah, I love the smell of those chemicals. I also love the smell of a nail salon. Oh my gosh
I love the smell of a nail salon too and like whatever that
Acetone is that what it's called? Yeah, that's so excited when you soak off your nails love the smell of it
Yep, me too. I heard one time and I don't know where I heard this someone's probably gonna tell me that they told me it
but I
Heard one time that pregnant women have like a craving for gasoline
Like to eat it to like drink it because that's what I meant. Sorry. No, no fucking way. Do you think that's real?
I mean, I've seen my strange addiction like people eating ashes and chalk and think soap
So yeah, I guess but like wouldn't that kill you? Yeah, I'm pretty sure it would kill you
I'm not saying it's not gonna kill you. Oh my god. Like what is the doctor?
I wonder what the doctor like what do they do about that? Like if you're like and go to your OB or your midwife and you're like
Hey, I'm really craving gasoline. Like is there a medicine for that? I have no idea. Like yeah, it's called go to bed
It's called see it psychologist. Yeah, like I
We are not well. I would love to hear people's like weird like
Pregnancy cravings and stuff because I have heard some weird shit like some real weird shit
Like pickles with peanut butter on it and like just like
People that have that because I've been pregnant. I have four kids, but I've been pregnant more than four times
And I've never had like a weird
Unedible craving and I've also never had like a craving that was like pickles and peanut like that's not I don't know
I believe that I didn't have that either like I just want a quick trip donuts and
And Jersey Mike's like I pretty much ate a sub from Jersey Mike's every single day
And yes before anybody says you shouldn't eat sandwich meat like cold sandwich meat when you're pregnant
I had him heated up also
Actually, that's funny that you brought that up because I was just scrolling on tiktok yesterday and I saw
Somebody stitched I follow anybody any like medical or lawyer lawyers on tiktok. I follow them. I don't know why
Um, so I'm scrolling and this OB was stitching or duetting whatever it's called
This girl who was like all the things I do during my pregnancy that
I'm not supposed to and one of them was and he was like basically saying like yes or no to them and
One of them was lunch me and he was like, yeah, that's probably okay. Like I think that that's just like I don't know
It's called like lysteria or something. I'm saying it like way wrong
But it's really some type of bacteria that like
lives on
cold cuts

Need to tell you something what?
so I was on the phone with my dad and
He tells me that he wants us to do this research
Since we like true crime so much
He wants us to do this research of this this 40 year old baby
What and immediately a baby? Yeah, and immediately
I'm like hey Todd stop talking
He said it's a 40 year old baby and it was in Texas and I was like okay
So we're talking about like Benjamin Button and he's like no Lindsay like that's not what it is
And I said a 40 year old baby like if it still looks like a baby
It's it's like Benjamin Button
No, I think he just very much got distorted. So I look it up and it's on
This Texas like local news channel and it says baby missing from Texas Woods found alive and well 40 years later
No, you're fucking lying. Send me the link. This was in Austin
It says a baby girl who went missing 40 years ago after her parents were found dead in a wooded area in Texas was found alive
And well according to the release from the office of the Texas Attorney General
What's the way Holly is now 42 years old her parents were victims of an apparent homicide in
1981 in Houston and couldn't be identified at the time of their death
They had been
Living they had been living in Lewisville at the time Holly was not found with her parents the release said so how they found her in
2021 identifiers
Identifiers international use genetic genealogy to identify the bodies of the couple
Which hadn't been identified since they were found in January of 1981
They first sent the remains to a lab to extract DNA from the bones
Explain the president and founder and from that they sent it to their lab to make genealogy data essentially
Fitzpatrick said that the data came back in October 2021 and it took them just 10 days to solve the case the top matches
Were like second cousins, so they started with those people built their trees and sort of looked for that missing piece
So then they contact the family
realized that Jane Doe must be his wife Tina and then all they had to do was build a family tree to see if it fit
Which they already had so I
It says that it says that Fitzpatrick is also part of the attack the Texas Attorney General's cold case and missing persons advisory committee
She said once they identified Dean and Tina
They let the Attorney General's office know so they could start tracking down Holly the Lynn and Klaus families search for answers
After they last heard from the family in 1980 and identifiers
International identified Tina and Dean Klaus last year
Holly had been notified of her biological parents identities and had been in contact with her extended family
They had contacted Holly told her what happened and she was actually quite happy and surprised
It was exciting to see her. She was happy to meet them for the first time
I said it was such a blessing to be reassured that she is all right and has had a good life the whole family slept well
I just don't understand like no time out. I'm time out
First of all, I thought that you meant that this 40 year old baby was still a baby
Like it was still in the woods
I did too and not growing and it just like thrived as a baby because that's in the woods, right?
Basically like Mowgli from the fucking jungle book in Tarzan like you adapt to your surroundings
I'm telling you wait. So where did she so her so I need you to explain this better for me
So her parents are murdered in the woods. So I guess they were like found in the woods
Where was she? Where was the baby?
We don't I don't know like I was under the same impression
What you just described was literally what I thought when my dad told me about this story
Because he had been like following it on the news or something which I don't watch the news
So I didn't know anything about it. So he tells me about this
And I was under the impression that it literally was
an adult
Person
That was like a baby that like never grew but like still lived for like 42 years in the woods
Like that's what was in my mind. That's what I okay
So then I googled when you're talking and it says
Who was raising baby Holly two women who were members of the nomadic religious group sister Susan?
Belonged to dropped Holly off at a church in Arizona as an infant
Holly was adopted and the adoptive parents are not suspected of any wrongdoing
But these headlines whole point of me talking about this
is like when you hear headlines like this and then
And you have a dad that tells you something in the way that mine does like that's how rumors get started
I legitimately thought that this was what you were like what you just described from jungle book
Right. Yes. Okay. So so we're not that dumb then
Um, I'm gonna post this article so you guys can continue to read it because it's like long and like a lot but
I couldn't even imagine
I mean, thankfully she was adopted and like people found I but where did they find her like
The parents were found in the woods. So where was the child when they found the child to bring her to a church?
I'm gonna do some more research on this try to create a timeline and then update you guys on this timeline next week
Um, I also saw something when I was scrolling on instagram the other night and I was like, okay
If this is not myself and Kailin Lowry like I don't know what it is
It says currently working on a diary full of lies. I want my loved ones to read it after I die and be like wait, what?
I can't which led me to believe
I mean, which led me led me to believe which led me to think about
being in this business
And what we've said before about if you feel like there's like a narc around you or like somebody that's like telling your business
You tell like a couple of different stories
Yeah, and see which one comes out. Yeah, but like what I have learned most recently in my life that
It's not necessarily
Who you're telling your business to it's who they're telling your business to right right? I guess that makes sense
You know so like you have to be careful of who you tell your business to and who they are associated with
That's a really good point actually now that I think about it
Because I have someone in my life that I am associated with that like the people that
Surround this person are like all up in my business and all up in my views and
just like everywhere um places that they shouldn't be
And it really irks me. It's like why are you so consumed in my business and like what what is going on?
Because they don't have anything else to worry about
It's just very
It's very annoying. Yes. So wait, where did you hear?
about that trick of like
Telling somebody one thing and then crash in oh she made it up
I don't think she made it up, but I heard that she did that with the baby with her with her daughter with north
It was one of the kids
And she sent everybody a different picture and that's how she knew
Who leaked the photo of north?
Stop. Oh my god. That would be so bad, but also like just don't be a shady bitch
Yeah, period and I actually I don't know if it ever came out like who it was
Kristen, do you know?
I don't think it came out who it was either. I but she knew who it was. Yeah
And I think that she maybe just didn't out the person. Okay
No, if I sent out fake photos of my baby, is that what it was like like not even really her
I'm not sure that I don't know either way. I sent out photos of my baby and I'm ken kardashian
Um and someone leaks it. I'm telling on you
Now I'm gonna expose you but I guess what does she get?
What does she have to gain out of exposed like she's the real winner because she removed that person from her life
This is true too. I think that as you get older you learn to
keep
Your circle close
But I am definitely a believer at this point in my life that you
Keep your inner enemies close. It's um
Like by choice or by accident
No, like I
There are specific
People that I know in
My life that are probably an enemy
Or looking for my downfall. Oh a hundred percent
that
I just
Play those cards. Yeah to my benefit. Mm-hmm
And I know that their intentions are not pure
And I just keep my ship moving but I put them over in a little box and
You know how to deal with that. Yep. I feel the exact same way. I feel the exact same way
That's a dangerous. It's a a very, you know dangerous thing
I think sometimes that in our situations people think oh well, you know
I can do this that and the third to this person because
You know, everybody else does it to them on the internet too and I'm like, no, that's like really not how it works though
Yeah, um, I actually was who was it? I might have been in tiktok again. I don't know
They were saying um that they wish that they had friends and family that were as close and as good
as Kylie's because Kylie Jenner's because she had her son in
February and they have yet to leak any type of pictures
Of him because she only posts his feet or his hands or something
And she and the girl was like just describing how you know, she really has like a good tight knit circle now
um, because nobody's even tried to leak her photos of of her son
First of all, I don't know how you are that level of celebrity status
That many people know and no one's telling like I also want to be a part of that
Um, but it's crazy that it didn't happen for kim, but it happened for Kylie
And it hasn't happened for chloe because chloe hasn't announced
Has she post she posted her son, but she didn't post his name or anything, right?
No, but I did see a couple of things on tiktok of people going through like a list of
Names of like what it could be
What the baby could be named
And they were like if she named him
Um, like tristan jr. Everybody's gonna raise mortal hell. I don't think she did that
Do you think she did?
I don't think she did because he already had a son and he wasn't a jr. And I that would be really weird that would be like
If I named creed flex though, like if I named creed
Chris jr. Because and that's our second son like that would just be weird
Yeah, but it's chloe's first son. I mean we know born son is supposed to be a jr.
Well, yeah, I think that that's true, but I'm saying like
You know, that's a that's a boss move if she named him jr. After he had had all these other kids
I don't even know how many kids he has at this point at this point. He's like getting Nick Cannon status
Prince
The one that's the only other one. No, there's prince and then the one with the other girl
That was like a scandal
Which was a I think a baby boy and then true and then a baby boy. So four four kids god
Just like figure it out
Like get your dick under control
Okay, so I know that everyone that listens to coffee gumbo spot gas has a phone full of pictures of their pets
I know I do and if I'm not taking the pictures of our
Furry family members my kids are on my phone and we discovered perky prince, which is super super cute
When our french bulldog passed away, unfortunately this year
Isaac's one
Ask was to please have a framed photo of him and perky prince really did like such a good job
With the pictures of gizmo. They're definitely one of a kind in my opinion
I got some um of georgia as well like a christmas ornament of picture that goes by jackson's bed a t-shirt
I'm about to order this sweatshirt. They have so many cute things. Um, like I said t-shirts coffee mugs
um frame prints and more
And it really is
Extraordinary every step of your order is a hundred percent handcrafted by their small team of 10 pet lovers
Which I think is super super cool
And they also believe that something as special as a custom portrait deserves unique one-on-one attention from real people
So from the photo review process to the art creation
Um to hand printing every item. It's human hands that bring every product to life and most importantly
Your order will make a difference to dogs and me. You guys know that we love a good give back

Um, okay. Well before we move on from the diary, uh, what would be in your diary of lives?
My diary of lives. Yeah, like what would you put in there?
What do you mean my diary of lies? If you lie if you did a diary and you just filled it full of lies so that your loved ones
Would read it after you like true true lies or lies that I made up
No, like it wouldn't be a lie. Kale if it was true
Just like shit that you're gonna make up
Um, you want your family to believe after you die and they have no way to verify this stuff
Um
Okay, so
They have no way to verify it. I'm definitely putting in there that I
Have another kid because I don't know that my family could technically verify that because we had the estrangement for a period of years
Okay, so I don't think they could verify it and also they would stay on like
Ancestry and 23 and me and just like weird shit and they're never gonna find it
Okay
I would I would put um
I would put in there that unfortunately I never got to finish my journey in law school. So like as if I already started
Um, and they would have no way to verify because they wouldn't know like who to count like what school did I go to
Um
Wow, this is such a good question like
My poor family would probably be like
Trying to solve these impossible like lies for the rest of their lives. They would never have any like answers, right?
Yeah, um, I'm gonna have to think about this and get back to you and then I'm gonna like
I'm gonna write down some lies that I would put in there. Okay. Well, I also would do these lies
Um, I would put in there that I like committed a bunch of crimes
Because they would have no way of verifying it because I never committed the crimes
And also
How are they gonna find out like what kind of crimes like you robbed a bank?
What if I was like I went in robbed a bank
Um
We're a ski mask
Smash the cameras like they literally would have no way of proving it
Also, they would have no way of proving if I said I killed someone
Um
Oh my god
Like no way of proving anything and it would just be like a life a life mindfuck
Oh my god, I might say that I had an affair with like
Oh, that's a good one. That's a good one
I had an affair with
Elon Musk
Eww
Nick Cannon
That would be people would probably believe that baby like we don't need to verify this
Tristan Thompson
I had an affair with Tristan Thompson. They would believe that
Um, that's so funny
I'm trying to think like what kind of like I can't really think of any lies
But I want I want them to be fucking scandalous
Kristen, what lies would you tell?
Um, I don't know
Oh, you know what I'd be like so sorry I couldn't give you guys all of my millions of dollars because I donated it to various charities
No money for you, it's donated
What if it was in there and it was like I was actually very rich when I passed away
But unfortunately I left none of the money for you. I left you these bills that you need to pay
Um, and these charities are living off of all the money that I had that you're not getting
Better yet, you can honestly be like I hid millions of dollars throughout the world
Please have a fun time trying to find them. I hid I hid millions of dollars in my favorite places on earth
Um, goodbye
And then go to Hawaii and they'd find nothing
Okay, listen, so speaking of money
We had a question in the Facebook and it says can we discuss kids and fundraising? I'm all for little setting goals and achieving
Them with adult support. It just seems like such a repeated let down for kids
How do you meet the ridiculous suggested goal when you don't have a village?
I pushed the product list out on social media to the few select friends we have but man it's hard
Short of me just buying the stuff. I am at a loss. I need ideas or just words of encouragement
Actually, they love this question
Me too
Um, the schools do a really shitty job picking fundraisers. That's number one
Um, nobody's interested in the shit that they're fundraising for so like the last two years my kids have brought home
All of my kids have brought home the same shit. So then all three of my school aged children are expected to sell the fundraising items
When we all have the same people in our circle. So that's number one
Number two when I've talked to the teachers that specifically this is like more school fundraising
Those the teachers barely get a cut of those fundraisers
Yeah, you're literally better off not doing them and giving the teachers like a $25 gift card
Okay, well directly to the teacher
I'm gonna start with Girl Scouts and cookies, right?
I feel like that idea was created to teach a business aspect to kids of like, okay, you know
This is gonna be your goal. You're gonna set a goal and you're gonna, you know, try to sell this and you're gonna go door to door
And you're gonna get people to sign up. You're gonna give them this feel like you're a salesperson
And to me those types of fundraisers if the child's out here doing it and like working hard for that
I think that that is great to teach them the business aspect of that
Okay, that makes sense
When you have parents that are out here posting on the internet and they're doing the work for the kids
They learn the kids learn nothing
The kids learn nothing and then it all just becomes a numbers game
I don't agree with that
That's a good point
The fundraisers at the school, if they diversified them a little bit and maybe, you know, gave certain things to certain grades
That would probably eliminate some of the stuff that you're talking about because it would be different items, whatever
Jackson's preschool, church-based, but still did awesome fundraisers
They did this one brand of like these hand-painted ornaments, which were just like so cute
And you got like a list of maybe like 12 or something ornaments that you could choose from
And that did very well
And then they also did a sheet fundraiser
And the sheets were awesome
Like everybody raved about like when is the fundraiser coming back for the sheet sets because
See, I love that
I fucking love that
We don't have, I love your point about the Girl Scout thing
I think that's like such a fantastic point
When the parents are doing it for the kids, they learn nothing
Also like standing outside of Walmart, yes, it's good for numbers, but no, it's not teaching your child like the business of the sales situation
It becomes like more of a contest than like a lesson
When we did fundraising for football
You know, we did a popcorn fundraiser, which only 50% of what you make goes to the league
And nobody's really interested in popcorn because you can get popcorn anywhere
You can get gourmet popcorn anywhere
When we did a crab raffle, and it was like crab and beer, and we did the crab raffle for football
That one, and yes, it was only local, so we couldn't post it on like the internet or anything
Like it's pretty much anyone in the league that knows people that would sell the tickets
That one did so well because people want crabs and beer
Yeah, see, I'm down for stuff like that and usable things
Practical things that are going to be, like I think that's great
What about, I don't know, like it makes me
Speaking of popcorn, suburban dad told me one time, I think he said that he paid like 20 or 25 dollars for a bag of white cheddar popcorn
And it's like literal smart food
Yes
And to me, I'm like, I love that he did that and he supported like a kid's business, whatever that fundraiser
But at the same time, it's like not a practical thing that most people are going to buy
And so I like the practical items
Who has 25 dollars to spend on popcorn?
Like I thought the same thing for my son's fundraiser, I spent 100 dollars, 97 dollars on the popcorn
I still met the goal for him, but again, my kids weren't doing the popcorn sales
It was me and secondly, it was so expensive, like let's do practical things like sheets, the ornaments, the cute stuff
Like that is stuff that people and people with inflation now, especially they're not going to have extra money to spend 25 dollars on popcorn
Yeah, also I hate how much like the parents get involved in stuff like this
And I see both sides of it, like, okay, we have goals, so we want our child to reach the goal
But also what are you teaching them by just doing it?
Also on the side of if they're trying to sell popcorn for 25 dollars a bag, I could see being a parent being like, okay
I'm even embarrassed for you to ask someone to buy a bag of popcorn for 25 dollars
So I'll just buy it
I also see that side of it, so that's my spiel on that
Agreed
I have to admit that I've never composted before and thankfully I discovered Lomi by Pila because I as a family of five
It's so hard to minimize your waste and I really just I have the eco guilt
So I did start by like upping my recycling, downsizing my trash, but I also wanted to do a little bit more
And so I got a Lomi and it kind of just allows me to turn my food scraps into dirt with a push of a button
And I love that so this is a countertop electric composter that turns scraps to dirt in under four hours
There's no smell and it's super quiet and I love that I can teach my kids how to do this and it's super simple
So you guys need to check this out
Kale, you told me about this and I ordered one too and have not opened mine yet, but I am so excited to try it because we all just need to do better
And I think this is just an easy way to be able to do it and you're gonna have way less garbage each week
Yeah, I definitely learned that food waste makes up a huge portion of our trash
Like I said, especially with kids, picky eaters, things like that
And I host a lot and so when you throw dinner parties and things like that, the food cleanup, there's so much trash
But now it makes it so much easier, so this Thanksgiving, I'm actually really excited to use it and see how much less trash we have
And people think that I'm like an eco goddess now, so I definitely recommend ten out of ten
So if you guys also want to start making a positive environmental impact or just make cleanup after dinner that much easier

I need to redo this, I found this also on Instagram scrolling
It says, my father once told me, don't fuck over the current person in your life for someone from your past
Your past always pops up when your future looks bright and that could not be more true
Are you eating Chick-fil-A?
No, I'm eating almonds. I'm eating whole natural blue diamond almonds
I love that for you. Is that not so true?
I can't tell you how many times I fucked up something for somebody in my past, two people specifically
And it never ended well, so yeah, that is so fucking true
What's the mindset?
I don't know, it's like they know when to like, and you just love that person so much that you hope that they're going to change this time
And so you're like, okay, I'm going to go back to like my comfort zone, this person I've loved for so long
And they never end up changing, it's like they just know when to fuck it up for you when they know that your future is bright
They know that you're moving on and they're like, let me pop up and see if I still got it
I'm guilty of doing it too, I've done it to somebody, so one person specifically
But to me, the problem is with both people in that situation, right? Because the one person that is, let's say like in the situation of like they're with someone else
And you know, their ex like may or may not be moving on, they don't want that person to move on
So then they like interject themselves just enough to, you know, like keep them at bay, risking their situation and fucking that up probably too
The whole thing to me is just toxic and I am a big believer that if it's done, let it be done and let it rest
And I've not always been like that, not until I went through everything with Will and that after divorce hookup things that we were doing
I realized how toxic that was and that let me know like, okay, anytime in my future in my next situations, like I will never do that
Because it just prolongs the inevitable, like if it was over enough for you to leave, it's over enough for it to stay over
When toxic Kale was toxic, I would always just see if I could have the person back and it worked every single time
And what's fucked up is every single time I didn't actually want him, I just wanted to see if he would still want me
And he did and then I got my karma big fucking time tenfold with the next person and he always did that to me
And I always fell for it, not realizing that I did it to the person before him and it sucks
Like I would never want to do that to someone ever again because it gives them such false hope and it's so toxic
But yeah, I definitely agree with you once it's done, let it be done, let it fizzle out, let it, you know, sit in the uncomfortable feelings
Sit in the pain that, you know, it's over because that pain will eventually subside
And I never want to be that toxic ever again
I think a lot of people get in the mindset of, okay, that's what I knew for such a long period of time and that became my normal and my comfortable
So I need to have like just a little bit of it there so that I can continue moving on but I like really don't want it
And that is extremely toxic, not great for the healing process
Although I will say I don't know that I would have done the process with Will any differently than what I did
Because I think it made me grow and I think that it allowed me to heal and close that chapter
Oh, I definitely had to go to therapy to stop what I was doing
There was no way
Oh, you did?
Yeah
Wait, what?
I had to go to therapy
What advice did your therapist give you just to stop?
Well, she said the same thing that you did because I was constantly blaming other people
And she was like, you have to acknowledge your responsibility in this, you have to acknowledge that you keep going back
I mean, by the time I went to therapy it was when I was getting my karma, not when I was doing it to the other person
And it just opened my eyes to the fact that I did it and then it was coming back to me tenfold
And that was, you know, I was continuing to go back through all of this toxicity
And at some point I literally would go to my therapist and be like, I cannot talk about these two people in my therapy sessions anymore
Because I'm not doing any other work with myself and on myself other than complaining about this fucking love triangle
Like I cannot do it
And she would hold me to that and so I would go into the next session and not talk about them and then the next session would be about like
And it's just a cycle that I never want to repeat ever again
Okay, so this leads me to my next point because I did not know that this was where like this was going to go
And you say this about your therapy
But I saw this thread and it starts with why you keep having sex with a toxic ex
And it says if you're being deprived of all the things a healthy relationship requires love, consistency, safety and an authentic connection
Of course the sex would be amazing because you're already starving
Yes, so that's what my therapist said about the person that I was with
And because I would basically romanticize it in my head and make it sound like it's the best thing ever
And she said, Kale, she's like, it's not the best thing ever
She's like, you're not getting a connection with him anywhere else
So the only place that you feel connected to him is through sex
So you're romanticizing it and fantasizing it and, you know, all of these things
And she was right because I would, Lindsay, when I tell you that I never told this man no, never once
Even if I didn't want to have sex, I never, ever, ever told him no
Because to me, that was like, he loved me when he was having sex with me
You're literally walking us through this thread because the next part says sex is the fastest way to achieve what feels like a connection to another person
So it's the fastest and easiest way to feel something
Even if that something is simply just endorphins, oxytocin, a nervous system activation
Yes, it was horrible and I remember hating like two in the morning, three in the morning
Yeah, it's fun in the beginning when you're actually in love with someone, you can't keep your hands off each other
And that's, I think, normal in healthy relationships
But I mean, he would wake me up out of the dead of a sleep and, you know, I would never turn him down, ever
Never, never, never
I do think that there's a big part of that for some people that participate
There's a thrill in that because you know it's something, but it's a toxic thrill
You know it's something that you should not be doing, but you're going to do it anyway against better judgment
But this thread says, as a child, if you were ever abandoned or rejected by your caregivers, you grow into the adult who never experienced consistency
So if you experience a continuous cycle of wounding and soothing from your parents, this becomes what you subconsciously expect in your adult relationships
Like
So like in a relationship, you adapt by learning to take what you can get because in childhood, it was rarely ever about your needs
It was always about someone else's
So in order to maintain the connection and ensure your survival, you had to abandon your needs to cope
Okay, that makes sense to me
Basically, just make sure that the other person's needs are met and just take what you can get kind of thing
Yeah, that was me. That sounds just like me at that time
Yeah, I'll make sure that we post this because I think it's so spot on
Yeah, I think engaging sexually with an ex that like you're no longer willing to emotionally engage with, but you're willing to sexually engage
Like you shouldn't be giving that part of yourself to someone if you're not willing to give the parts of yourself that like actually really matter
Yeah, and it's funny that that person recently started to nitpick at me and Natalie said, Kale, you know what he's trying to do, right?
And I'm like, no
And she told me and she's like, I will kill you. I will kill you. You know, I was like, I don't have like I'm not there anymore
The thankfully the therapy has helped in that situation because I wouldn't go back but that makes a lot of sense. That makes a whole lot of sense
All right, so Lindsay is actually the one that told me about Farity and that Jackson is a big fan of this company
So I went ahead and ordered I got two things I got the kids dug good feather high pile fleece zip jacket in the rising sky turquoise
I got that for Creed actually both items that I got were for cream and then I also got the koala baby blanket

I'm Lindsay Chrisley. Join me for the Southern Tea. It's a weekly heart to heart from this Southern girl and boy mom who's just trying to navigate life
Nothing is off limits. I talked about it all life, career, family, motherhood, faith and everything in between. It's an ongoing conversation and I can promise you one thing
I'm spilling tea, the whole tea and nothing but the tea. So listen to and follow the Southern Tea now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and wherever you listen to podcasts
Okay, I know that you're going to have a big opinion about this as a mother. I also have an opinion about it. It's probably not as big as yours
This is from the Facebook group. It says moms with multiple kids. How do you handle birthday party invites? For instance, if one child gets an invitation from someone in their class
Do you automatically take siblings when you go or do you find childcare to take the one if you can? I've always felt like it would be rude to show up with three extra kids
I also don't feel comfortable asking if they can all come over. However, I also feel guilty because a lot of times I can't find someone to watch the other kids
So I can't take the one that got invited. My kids love birthday parties. They are devastated when they miss out
I've asked other moms in my area what they would do and their answers are mixed. How do you handle it?
Okay, so I also saw this in the Facebook group and I actually wasn't going. I wouldn't take my kids to the birthday parties for a long time because I felt like
I just feel bad asking Natalie or someone to help me with the other kids while I take one to a birthday party
I would only take my kids to birthday parties where it was like their family so all of my kids got invited
I wouldn't take like Lux to a classmates birthday party. Now I will ask Natalie can you watch the other kids or ask the dads can they watch the other kids
I don't think it would be wrong like if I was throwing Lincoln's birthday is coming up for example say I was having a party for him which I'm not this year
Say someone messaged me and said hey I would love to you know bring so and so to the party I do have my other three kids with me I'll pay for them if it's okay if they come that would not be rude to me
See I don't think that's rude either because they're going to pay the admission for their other three kids and then the one that was invited would get free for the party that wouldn't bother me at all
In my opinion I think the best policy of how to handle this is if you have a child that because a lot of people during COVID in this area I don't know if it was everywhere but a lot of people moved to
Drop off parties like where you drop off because it limited the amount of people involved. I would only ever do that if I was like legitimate friends with the parent of that child to drop off like I'm never dropping off at a party and getting a call
Like okay now you can come and pick your kid up like I'm just not doing that. Also I don't believe in going to birthday parties just because someone's a classmate like if you're going to celebrate a birthday and you're taking time out of your weekend away from your family whatever
Then that person needs to be an actual friend not just a classmate so there's that and also I think that you should always ask someone if you're bringing other people to a party because this party host is preparing food
You know needs a headcount like all of this it is super rude if you show up with three additional people outside of the child who was invited
Like for example because Jackson and Lincoln are the same age if you invited me say we weren't friends like actual friends
And I was RSVPing I would say like hey Lindsay I am going to bring Lincoln to RSVP Lincoln to Jackson's party you know I will have my three other kids but I'm going to pay admission like would you be fine with that?
Yeah but I wouldn't take your money I would just I'm not saying it would be wrong to take your money I just wouldn't but also I would so appreciate the heads up of like hey because to be able to have a headcount like I'm big on RSVP too
I think it's so rude for people who don't RSVP like I think we live in a society that breeds this culture of I'm going to either not RSVP because something better might come up and I don't want to be confirmed for this
Or I'm going to wait until the last minute to make sure nothing better comes up and then I'll commit to this if like nothing better comes up and I hate that I'm big on that with Jackson I'm like you know you make commitments and you stick to those commitments
And you RSVP to parties you like all of that is important
It's actually really important I can't I have dropped the ball sometimes just there was a birthday party got the invite I didn't RSVP and then I completely forgot about the party
Oh my God
But I didn't RSVP but also I should have RSVP no because I hate the follow up like it sucks when you have to constantly follow up because that that does suck too but I you know I agree with you I completely agree with you and I hate when I do that but sometimes I do get sidetracked
So my friend on the football team she just had a joint birthday party for two of her kids and I told her at first I was like hey you know we'll be there and then I realized you know Chris and Javi would have the kids so I let her know before I said hey
Unfortunately we have to we I have to un RSVP basically but here's the gifts that I got for them
And I still gave them gifts or whatever and she was so thankful that I let her know that you know it was still ahead of time that we had to change our RSVP
Last thing I'm going to say on RSVPs and I want to know if everybody else is like this if you don't RSVP my automatic assumption is that you're not coming
Not coming yes
Good we can we can pull that on Instagram
Okay we don't have time to do the other question that I really wanted to get to but it's okay we can save it for next week and for those of you who did not hear us talk about this already
The true crime episode we're covering for November is going to be covering The Watcher
And so I'm really excited about this one because I think that there is so much to cover from both sides like the actual story and then what was covered on Netflix
And I can't wait to get into the debates of who we all think it is I just think it's going to be so good so I'm excited about that and on that note we are going to do foul play
Okay the first foul play
When my fiancee and I bought our current house we spent months fixing it up before we moved in because the inside was in pretty bad shape
Once we had lived in the house for about two months we were still noticing a faint weird smell we could not figure out the smell could it be since we painted every wall the ceilings replaced carpets etc
One weekend we were going through some boxes and hadn't gone that we hadn't gone through yet
My fiancee opened up a box and he about passed out that was the smell
My fiancee hunts and this box was full of all of his hunting clothes
He figured it was what was lingering from when he had killed the deer the previous season
I was disgusted
He spent all weekend washing the clothes trying to get the smell out if it were my clothes I would have burnt them
After multiple washes the smell was still in the air he had a backpack that had been stuffed in the box with his clothes but he had been certain it was the clothes that had the smell
He started cleaning out the backpack so he could wash it too and found a bag inside of the backpack with something black and mushy in it seeping out
It was his lunch from over a year ago that he forgot about
Well I definitely that didn't I thought it was going to be a dead animal so
We are still trying to guess what kind of sandwich he had packed for lunch that day that would turn black and mushy
Well probably anything I'm just so fucking glad that it was not like a dead animal like a squirrel or something
I thought that's what it was going to be I was like this is going to be a rodent of some sort like he shot or something
Yes like that's literally where my mind was going with that
Also I think this is a super man thing to do
At what point of their lives do they not think to like clean out backpacks any bags that they pack really like that they just think the stuff just like disappears and goes away
In this man's case he he had it all boxed up with his sandwich in there as if he was going to eat it later because that's probably what was going through his mind
Disgusting
Not okay okay so the second foul play says please keep me anonymous because fuck my life and also I love you guys
Okay this is so embarrassing but after I had my first baby I was so constipated sister weren't we all
I lied at the hospital this is my story not hers I lied at the hospital told them that I shit because I heard a rumor that until you shit you wouldn't be allowed to leave the hospital and I was like it'll be fine like I'll blow a turd like at some point so this is like not even a bad buy
Okay so she says I was probably a weak postpartum and no poop I was taking all the laxatives drinking ton of water and nothing
Finally I could feel the poop ready to come out literally right at my butthole but I couldn't push it since I just had the baby Google told me to get an enema first of all using Google
Bad idea so I screamed for my husband to run to the store to get me an enema I've never had to do an enema before so mistake number one I laid on the bed holy shit with a towel under me and luckily I was already washing the sheets that day
I'm glad for you mistake number two I had him squirt it up my butt no while he was holding our newborn no stitches and all still in there
Within seconds I started screaming for him to get out and I had the most massive hard poop of my life didn't we all because it came out like a fucking brick
Luckily the mattress was not affected during the chaos but we still joke about it to this day and just had our second baby and luckily no enema story from our newest edition
Just saying it's true love when your partner is willing to give you an enema and watch you shit on y'all's bed
First of all I was not postpartum when I did an enema because I hadn't shit in weeks and Kristen was there
Did Kristen put it in?
No like I know Kristen was probably mortified in the room like I was like I will do anything to poop right now like you know when you're so bloated and uncomfortable
And then I was like thinking about going home and doing anal because I would be like all flushed out but it didn't really flush me out like the way that it
Oh my god nobody has to take a shit and then goes home and does anal so then you can shit on their dick
No what I was saying was I thought it was going to clear me out so well that I thought I could go home and do anal and then I didn't
First of all no man is coming near my butthole
Second of all I'm certainly not laying on the bed letting him do an enema
I didn't do my enema on the bed I did it in the bathroom
Does it actually work?
I was new to it not true to it so I didn't it didn't work as I probably would have I just probably didn't do it all the way or all the way
Correctly because I was very nervous but I think they do work because I hear like people talk about it before anal and stuff
That's a whole nother conversation
I will say any person that is listening to this that has ever had a baby
The first time you take a shit after you have a kid is probably worse than the actual birthing process of having the kid
It comes out like a brick it hurts so bad like it turns your butthole inside out
Wait did they give you like I don't remember excuse me I don't remember for any of my births
Maybe for my home birth they did they not give us stool softener right after we deliver
Yeah but it didn't soften I don't think it softens for a lot of people
Yeah I remember it hurting I don't remember
When I tell you Kale mine was like a week later and I straight up lied at the hospital I was like yeah I took a shit I had shit
Yeah where's my discharge papers
I wonder if they do that because you might bust a stitch if you poop like that's probably why
I don't know why they do it specifically but I would highly recommend not lying about it for the future
And I won't lie about it again because I felt like I was giving birth for a second time and I kind of feel bad for Will Campbell
And what he probably had to hear in that moment
Sorry Will Campbell
Sorry Will, mad respect to you
