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 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 spirit and 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 anymore. There's a fakery bakery around here. Here's Kailin Lindsay. Good morning, coffee congers podcast, kitty gang, flippers. Good fucking morning. Hello, Lindsay. It's weird to see you over here. I know. It's very different. Definitely appreciate you having me to fill in my while Miss Kailin is out on her maternity leave. Absolutely. I feel like I have number one, so much to catch people up on. Number
Starting point is 00:00:54 two, I believe you and I went on a deep dive rabbit hole in the news this week. And I feel like that's not typically us. Yeah, I was definitely just, my Spidey senses were tingling and boy was there a lot to look at. My Spidey senses must have been tingling as well. I just need to update you to let you know that over the Christmas holiday,
Starting point is 00:01:21 the two weeks that I have off, I'm going to be binging Yellowstone from the beginning. Not shocked. So I need to channel my inner Beth Dutton. And also I posted on my Instagram story a couple of, I don't even know like when it was, but I posted about Birdie starting daycare. And remember my rug that got ruined a couple of weeks back?
Starting point is 00:01:48 And I sent you a photo of it. And I was like, do you see the diarrhea? And your response was, I don't see where there's not. Yeah, exactly. So that was like the only pooping incident that we have had in this house. Like she's very good.
Starting point is 00:02:04 When we first got her, it was really hard to like gauge when she would need to go out and how long she could last between going out. So that was a little bit challenging because by the time I would take her out of the crate, when I was crate training her, she would immediately just like squat and pee. So I take her to the vet and I ask him, I said, what's wrong with this dog? Like, can you tell me any details and what I can do to fix this problem? Because I really don't enjoy cleaning up P at 530 in the morning. And he's like, well, could be multiple things. It could be that she needs to go
Starting point is 00:02:36 out sooner than what she's going out, or it could be a territorial issue. And I'm thinking to myself, like, I don't need any more things or people in my life with territory issues. So I certainly hope that it's not that one. Oh my God. I kid you not. She started going to daycare and it's like the dog took a complete 180 and she has been all perfect pretty much. The barking has stopped. She loves her crate. Doesn't mind being in there at all. She prefers to chew her toys and stuff in her crate with the crate door open.
Starting point is 00:03:13 I bought one of those big serda beds for her. And so she's learning her place, all these things. So I take her for her second day of daycare. And I'm thinking, okay, she's going to be like really good and tired. This is on a Friday. And I'm like, I've got my whole house clean. I've got every stitch of laundry done in this house. I have delivered all of Jackson's things over to Will's. Like I am in a really good place. Like I've even showered and a hot girl shower and done my hair. So like we're doing good on this Friday.
Starting point is 00:03:45 Oh yeah. Pick the dog up, she's super excited. I get to Trent's, which is a 32 minute ride from her daycare. Take her out to go to the bathroom, she pees, we put her back in her crate, we go to dinner. Please tell me why when we come home that there is dog turds inside the crate
Starting point is 00:04:04 on the outside of the crate somehow. Like, did she put her ass up against the thing and like shit out it? Oh, yeah. Oh, no. Like, how does that happen? Like, how does it get on the outside? Yeah, it has to be that or she like might have kicked it out. So Trent was like, I think she kicked it out. And that's how she also got it all over her. was like, I think she kicked it out. And that's how she also got it all over her. I am just committed to this thought. The next thing I'm about to say with all men at this point, when it comes to blowouts with babies, dog shit, or any type of bodily fluid, just get out of the way.
Starting point is 00:04:40 See, no, because that's how I am. I'm very much like, hey, babe, the cat threw up on the stairs. No, I don't touch it. I don't I will clean the area after the bits are removed, like dog poop, whatever. I don't care. It is one of this. You don't understand this dog poop. Like you if if you understood this dog poop, you wouldn't be like it is what it is. Because this was a combination of possible sharding. Oh, oh, diarrhea.
Starting point is 00:05:14 Logs like so she was sick. Yes. So I'm like, OK, well, I sent her food to the daycare, which she normally does not eat there. Like I feed her before and then feed her whenever I get home, but she was gonna be there for a longer day. So I sent the food there. And I'm like, okay, wonder if it got like mixed up with another dog.
Starting point is 00:05:33 You know, that could be the case. I call and they're like, nope. I said, would she have had access to be able to like sneakily get to anybody else's food? Like what exactly did she consume while she was there? Because whatever it was is coming out the backside and I can't do this. So they let me know at nap time,
Starting point is 00:05:53 they give them milk bones. So I'm like, okay, well, she's never had a milk bone before. So it's by process of elimination. It's obviously that. I take her to daycare this morning, drop her off. She's so excited. One of my girlfriend's dogs goes there and they play like a lot together just period.
Starting point is 00:06:12 So she was really excited when she saw her. I'm like, she's gonna have a really good time, but like you guys need to notate on her file, no milk bones at all. So then this woman starts telling me about how good milk bones are for dogs and how it's, it shouldn't be a problem. It shouldn't make her sick. Please tell me why every single person that follows me on Instagram that has a pet messaged me and let me know that milk bones are in fact a real problem. Yeah, everything that I know and have looked at research at says milk bones are not favorable.
Starting point is 00:06:46 But like why do they make it? This is like I could go down the whole path of how unregulated the dog food industry is and same with treats and stuff, but we don't have enough time for all that. But I'll send you a documentary to watch about how dog food is made. And am I going to be sick? Yes, you are. Like I cannot do it. And just the thoughts of her not getting good quality food,
Starting point is 00:07:13 like she's been on rice for days. Yeah. So when I tell you that what made me switch dog food was when I watched this documentary, this is why I feed my dogs, farmers's dog. And literally they've been on that for years with no issues and actually has greatly improved a lot of their health, like health issues and stuff. Um, you will be shocked. You will be absolutely shocked. Okay. So I'm telling you the name right now. That's what Trent and I are watching tonight evidently So our Friday night and Saturday morning was nothing but cleaning up dog shit and running a washing machine and dryer
Starting point is 00:07:56 Finally she's okay good I just like took all of the dog food away Gave her rice because her stomach needed to be settled but she needed something on her stomach Someone messaged me and said that their vet told them anytime that a dog has like a diarrhea issue And it's more than one time to basically make them fast interesting, okay, so I Don't know. I need to like talk to my vet about this the last thing I'm gonna say on this is when I was single, girly, before I met suburban dad. So this was like back in mine and Caroline's,
Starting point is 00:08:31 you know, run in the street stays. Georgia was a puppy and she had a diarrhea issue. And a lot of people messaged me about this with Birdie and said that golden doodles have very sensitive stomachs. And so that I probably need to get her allergy tested. So I'm thinking about doing that. Diarrhea is just absolutely not fun with it all. No, it's put it controls your entire day because you're doing nothing but just wiping up turds. It's bad. I just looked up what the documentary is called. It's called Pet Fould.
Starting point is 00:09:07 And you can find it on, for you specifically, watch it on Amazon Prime Video, it's free. For other people who don't have that, there's also Voodoo, Roku, Pluto TV, and Tubi, all have it for free. If you have pets, can't recommend it enough. And then when you're done that, if anybody needs like a free box of dog food, hit me up because I've got like
Starting point is 00:09:31 a bunch of codes that I can give out for, I think I have like 10 because of how many dogs I have on this, all their food that I can gift like boxes of food for free. I absolutely love farmersmer's Dog. Georgia has been on Farmer's Dog for a long time, and I just think it truly is the best. I actually was watching one of my girlfriend's Instagram stories last night before I went to bed and her husband was fixing Farmer's Dog. And he was like, honestly, I would eat this myself because it looks like a casserole. Just it's so crazy because like I've done other fresh foods before but like I've had my dogs also have like bad reactions to some of them.
Starting point is 00:10:17 And my favorite and the one that agrees with them the best is honestly farmer's dog definitely. at them the best is honestly, farmer's dog, definitely. And then I also will mix with Purina pro plan, like dry kibble when needed. And that is the only time that I give them anything on top of farmer's dog. Okay, well, I'm going to do some investigating and I'll let you guys know what I find. Intern are also going to be watching this documentary tonight, so we will probably be actually physically disgusted. Talking about casseroles though, I need to know who listening to this show loves casseroles and who hates them.
Starting point is 00:10:57 My dad absolutely hates casseroles and he always used to bitch when Julie made casseroles. They're like two that he likes and they're like very minimal ingredients. One's like an egg noodle casserole and it has like this rising crust that goes on the top and I don't know what else is in it but I think it's like chicken and maybe cream of chicken.
Starting point is 00:11:19 Like it's very, very minimal ingredients. So it's less like casserole but a casserole. He always used to So it's less like casserole-y, but a casserole. He always used to say it's basically like a potluck. Like it looks like what was in your refrigerator all week that you took it out and you tried to make a meal, but like the meal wasn't making. Mm-hmm. I love casserole.
Starting point is 00:11:38 So I'm a bad judge. I love pretty much any type of casserole. I've never tried tuna noodle, so I can't give feedback there. I know Kale loves tuna noodle. I'm not a huge fan of tuna, hence why I haven't had it, but I'm a fan of that. I also just recently discovered that people, there's people who exist that don't like chicken pot pie.
Starting point is 00:12:00 Oh yeah, it's me. I'm sorry, what? Like why do you like it? Why do you not? Because it just has so much stuff going on. It's like you never know what taste you're going to get in your mouth and that is just like so unpredictable. So you're saying that you need less ingredients and a more
Starting point is 00:12:22 predictable flavor. I am very much like a predictable eater and have like a saying that you need less ingredients and a more predictable flavor. Yes. I am very much like a predictable eater and have like a very bland palate. It honestly was one of the biggest fights that we would get in whenever we were married. And Jackson also has a very bland palate. So Will just absolutely hated us. And he said he loved when he got in his own kitchen and that he could chef it up. I'm not quite sure how much chefing up is really going on. He probably
Starting point is 00:12:52 thinks he's chefing it up, but it's probably very foul. Probably has a lot of ingredients in it. I just don't like stuff that has a lot of ingredients in it. I like very simple, easy meals. One thing that I miss about my mother-in-law is her curry chicken casserole. And I will try to get you guys the recipe because if you have not tried curry chicken casserole, it will change your life. What is in it?
Starting point is 00:13:15 It's like water chestnuts, chicken, curry, some type of rice. It's truly phenomenal. Like it's one of the best things that I've ever put in my mouth. Mm, that sounds pretty good. So you're not like a, so I'm assuming you'd probably don't like shit, like a stir fry either.
Starting point is 00:13:32 Hell no, like if I get rice from somewhere, I want it plain. Like a lot of times I am that person that will go to hibachi and order white rice. Oh my God, okay, no. Nope, no. Kristen, guess what I just got finished doing before we got on this recording?
Starting point is 00:13:53 What? I just placed my order this week for Green Chef. I love their food. They are the number one meal kit for eating clean. And I just let Green Chef take the work out of eating clean this holiday season with chef crafted nutritionist approved recipes. They have fresh ingredients, nothing artificial.

And then I also am a big, big fan of pork chops and a big fan of honey mustard.

And speaking of Hibachi, I think for Christmas Eve, we might be doing Hibachi, and is that weird? No, I feel like that's fun. I feel like it'll be fun. for Christmas Eve, we might be doing hibachi, and is that weird? No, I feel like that's fun. I feel like it'll be fun. Like we're only gonna have Jackson for Christmas Eve.
Starting point is 00:16:11 So I'm like, okay, well, it'll just be S3, and it'll be a fun little experience. We never get tired of the same show that we've seen a million times. The Onion Choo Choo, you know, like we never get tired of it. So yeah, I think that's, I think that's what we're going to do. But I saw on Fox news while we were speaking about dogs that the name Kelsey is a top trending dog name in America. It says pet companies data shows the name Kelsey is up 135% and popular names for dogs as Travis
Starting point is 00:16:48 Kelsey and Taylor Swift's relationship trends. Oh, yeah, I saw this and I was laughing because you don't realize the impact something like that has like, yeah, you heard about, you know, the public side of everything and Jersey sales have gone up and Jersey sales have gone up and ticket sales have gone up and female viewers of football and all that stuff, but literally all the way down to your dog's name. We've covered a lot of Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift over on the Southern T because
Starting point is 00:17:19 Kale is not a Swifty and I am and I just absolutely love that relationship so much. I think Kelsey is a really cute sports inspired dog name and I think that their little relationship is absolutely precious and I love this so much. Did you see also their podcast, New Heights? I love that show. Like I love their podcast. Has attracted 300,000 new listeners since going public with Swift. I mean, that doesn't surprise me and the least. Those numbers are absolutely wild to me, but everything that Taylor Swift does is top notch and great. So I wouldn't expect
Starting point is 00:18:07 anything less to be honest. I'm just waiting for her appearance on that podcast. And then we're all done. Do you think that she will? I don't know. She's doing a lot of things that she's like never done before. So I don't know. I like, I think it would be really cool if the four of them got together. So like you have Jason, Kylie, and then Travis and Taylor. So I'll tell you something about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey, and then I'm going to move on because I have like a ton of other stuff that I need to inform you guys that I've seen in the news. But I used to not be the biggest fan of Brittany Mahomes.
Starting point is 00:18:42 And like you guys do not come from me. Caroline and I were talking about this the other night that we just weren't the biggest fans of her. But now that she's become friends with Taylor Swift, I feel like she's growing on me a little bit because I do feel like Taylor Swift is very selective with her friend group. So I do feel like there would have been somewhat of a vetting process for that, for her to allow her into her inner circle. And then I started thinking like, why would I not like Brittany Mahomes? She was with him in high school.
Starting point is 00:19:18 There was no clout chase, I feel like, to get to where she's at. I feel like why wouldn't I like her? I would say that you're what you just explained is happening to a lot of people now where they are giving her a chance because, you know, she looked appeared one way over the various seasons that the Homes has been quarterback. And I think a lot of people didn't love her necessarily. And then now they're kind of like, Oh, well, maybe she's okay. So it's, it's interesting. It's like you said, like when Taylor Swift touches something, it just never say.
Starting point is 00:19:56 It turns gold. Yeah. It glimmers, honey. Yeah. Oh yeah. Okay. So let me tell you something that really hit home for me because I was doing an Instagram Q&A not too long ago and people were sending me private messages like absolutely furious at these headlines that I was found dead in my bed. The one before that was I was killed in a car accident and I'm having to explain the fact that it is not somebody ghost posting for me on my Instagram. It actually is me and I'm in fact not dead. And people were like, you should sue these tabloids for this false information.
Starting point is 00:20:40 So then I'm scrolling on AOL and I need to know how many people when you first got the internet had an AOL account. That's number one. Did you have an AOL email? Oh yeah. I can literally tell you what it was. Mine was sweetpemonkey.com. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:20:57 Mine was kaseyshorty14.com. Who do we think we were? I don't know why. Sweetpemonkey explained it right now? I don't know. Sweet pea monkey, explain it right now. I don't know. I was just obsessed with monkeys when I was a little girl. I still have that same obsession. I used to go to the beach every summer with my mom and her husband. And we would go to this place that was like an amusement park.
Starting point is 00:21:21 Actually, it was Myrtle Beach. So, you know, like the area and the place is called the Pavilion. And we would go there every summer. And they always had this guy there that had these little tiny monkeys that sat like on the shoulder and you could take pictures and stuff with them and they were wearing overalls or like dresses and like all of these outfits. And so I have forever since then been obsessed with like these little tiny monkeys. Then my obsession leaked on to Jackson and the first videos he ever really watched when he found out about the internet was following this little influencer monkey. And Jackson would like write mail to him and stuff and then he would watch all these unboxing videos of this monkey unboxing mail like fan mail. So always been obsessed with monkeys. So it was just a sleepy monkey. I know that I got my nickname in school was shorty 140. Why? I don't know. Couldn't tell you who gave me that name.
Starting point is 00:22:27 I also had a teacher that used to call me K-Rock. I don't know why. Interesting. And then my other nickname from school when I was in young elementary school was Bossy Boots. Okay. So I always still look at like the news on AOL.com. Okay.
Starting point is 00:22:50 And I mean, forever have since the internet. And so I see this article come up about Prince Harry being ordered to pay Daily Mail publisher legal fees for a failed court challenge. It says that he had to pay nearly 50,000 pounds, more than $60,000 in legal fees to the publisher of the Daily Mail tabloid for his failed court challenge in a libel lawsuit. Not shocked. He's been in a battle. Him and Megan have been in a battle with the Daily Mail for a while. I believe Megan won her lawsuit if I'm not mistaken. So did they file separate lawsuits? Yes, I believe Megan filed one. Let me cross check.
Starting point is 00:23:34 Okay, yes. So double checking. She received a dot. Is it a euro or a pound? Pound. Okay. She received one pound from the Daily Mail for privacy invasion back in 2022. It says newspaper accepts defeat and will pay additional unspecified sum for infringing her copyright. So she won a pound in damages for invading her privacy by publishing a private letter that she had sent to her father. Oh wow. Well, how did they get it? Um, that's a good question. Like, why would, if it was to her father and it just went to him, how did they get it?
Starting point is 00:24:15 And through that lawsuit, did they have to disclose? I wonder how they got the information. Because there's so much written on my family, like, you know, my mom's filing for divorce and insider sources say whatever, but yet they never state who the insider source is. And it's like, if you're going to the Daily Mail to give information, say that shit with your whole chest and release your name. I agree. I feel the same way about stuff that comes out about Kale, you, whatever, whoever, across the board. I'm just like, it's just a shitty feeling because normal people don't have to deal with that in their everyday lives and worry about like, who's going to go tell something or even fabricate something to go tell.
Starting point is 00:24:59 Well, and you can tell the listeners from your perspective, times that Kale and I have called you crying about stuff, and we're like, this is just not accurate information. I have no idea who's doing this, why they're doing this. Oh yeah, because there's times where it's like, whatever. For example, the situation of everyone was saying you were dead, and I texted you, and I was just like, heard you're dead.
Starting point is 00:25:22 You gotta laugh some stuff off, right? Like, obviously you're alive, and it it's inaccurate and it's kind of crazy. But you have other situations that are much more serious where it's like, oh, an inside source reveals that blah, blah, blah, blah. And like, depending on what day it is, catch you on a bad day and you're going to cry about it. 100%. And I think that people very much underestimate why we have to live so secretly sometimes and methodically because we want to be able to either process whatever it is that we're going through and probably going to share it at some point. And like that's our life to share and not for somebody else to share, but like a lie
Starting point is 00:26:01 certainly isn't for someone else to share, but like a lie certainly isn't for someone else to share. And it's just very disheartening that people can go to media and have this protection that their name is not revealed, but they're giving information that is like slanderous information. Well, they also just like these publications are not required to like fact check the information, which is shitty, and they should have to. But if somebody goes to them and says something, you know, there's various outlets that will print it, then there are some that will be like, well, we need proof before we will print something like that. Or they just throw around the word allegedly and unfortunately, you know, unfortunately, but also fortunately, because we've also reported things too, based on alleged information that, you know, that
Starting point is 00:26:45 word does offer a lot of protection. You know, I'll say it's kind of crazy when you see the bad reps people get about having NDAs and stuff. And it's like, there's a reason for that. And I saw how much shit Kale got for having people sign NDAs and whatnot. And I was one of the biggest proponents for pushing it. But how many times have you told Kale and I both that if someone is even entering your home? Sign an NDA. Sign an NDA.
Starting point is 00:27:13 It's not that we're doing anything wrong here, but I might not want you to know specifically what color my fucking couch is. It's just like, it's one of those situations where unfortunately, people like to report on the stuff, like again, both fortunate and unfortunate, people like to report stuff about y'all's lives and the things that you do and whatever.
Starting point is 00:27:33 And you have to have some level of protection and privacy, right? Like, there should never be a situation where somebody could go like, dangle this carrot above your head, like, oh, well, if you don't do this, then I'm going to go say that you did this, this and this, and there's nothing you can do about it. Well, so this specific situation with Harry, he claimed that the article that was written was fundamentally inaccurate and the newspaper defamed him when it suggested that he lied in his initial public statement over efforts to challenge the government's decision to strip him of his security detail after he and his family moved to the US in 2020. He also now has a lawsuit
Starting point is 00:28:12 pending against the government's decision to protect him on a case-by-case basis when he visits Britain and he claims the hostility towards him and his wife on social media and relentless hounding by the news and media threatened their safety and the libel trial will last four days and be scheduled between May 17th and July 31st. So I'll be very interested to see how this plays out. Also same. I'm always intrigued by these things and I know that they've had an ongoing war specifically with this publication.

One listener topic that I would love to get into this person writes in says is house chores a love language? I know a lot of people's love language is acts of service. My significant other says cleaning and cooking is his way of saying that he cares. I don't want to down it but I just don't see how you doing things that you would be doing with or without me is supposed to tell me that you love me. And while I very much understand that person would be doing those things with or without you for themselves, I still do view it as an act of service. Like there is nothing more that I appreciate more than having a
Starting point is 00:31:27 long day, not getting home until 6, 6, 30, or getting to Trent until 6 or 6, 30. And he's got meat ready to go on the grill. And the only thing I have to do is make a salad. Yeah, I would say for me, I do understand this perspective. I do. Because I'm here's where I'm at. So I'm a big proponent of I do not like when people say things like I wash the dishes for you. I watched the kids so you could take I watched the kids for you so you could take a shower. I you know, household, it's not one person's obligation when two of you were living in a household and our adults, like you, everybody needs to contribute. So I don't like when it's framed in that regard where it's like, well, I should get to do,
Starting point is 00:32:16 I should get to go out and have beers with the guys because, you know, I loaded the dishwasher for you. Now you loaded the dishwasher period because you live here and you need clean dishes and utensils. You didn't do that for me because last I checked, it was not solely my job to make sure the shit was loaded. So I don't like that. I think where it's fair, because I have a couple of friends that are married and have younger children. One specific married couple that I'm friends with, that I'm friends with both of them. If he wants to go on a golfing day, that's fine.
Starting point is 00:32:51 But she also gets a day in exchange for her to be able to do whatever she wanted to do if she's staying home with the kids. And I do think that that type of arrangement is fair. I also know my friend, Katie Heroll, that used to be on the Southern T with me. She and her husband very much operate that way as well. So if he has like a guy's trip planned, that gives her a girl's trip that she can plan.
Starting point is 00:33:16 I like that. I mean, I feel like that's probably realistically, especially when you add kids to the mix, is the only fair way to even do it. I can say like I have friends where it's not that way. And it makes me so sad for them where, you know, they're always with their kids. Like my girlfriends are with their kids and their husbands go have guys nights and go do meetups and all kinds of shit. And they're always home. And it's like, I just don't view it where dads are just babysitters,
Starting point is 00:33:48 like no, you're parenting. So you have to give up your guys' nights. I absolutely hate so much when a man says, I'm babysitting tonight. Yeah. Like, no, you are fucking parenting. Yep. Like you were being a parent because last time I checked,
Starting point is 00:34:07 I didn't conceive this baby on my own. And while I understand that you didn't do anything in the process of me getting this baby Earthside, you were there for the fun part. I carried this child for nine months. I delivered this baby and now my vagina is not well. You are absolutely not fucking babysitting. I fully agree with you with that.
Starting point is 00:34:33 I wholeheartedly agree with you. So in that regard, with stuff like that, I'm not down with the whole, like I did this for you as far as tours go But when it comes to like being an act of service, yeah, I would say it's an act of service for both parties to be keeping up a house That is an act of service. It's also an obligation But I view it as an act of service 1,000% and I even ask for acts of service as presents and Corey gets so angry
Starting point is 00:35:03 Because he'll be like that's not a gift. And I'm like, to you, that's not something that you would enjoy getting. But like, for my birthday, I was like, can you please fix a couple holes, put up the curtains that have been waiting to get put up, you know, clean like this room in that room or whatever. And he's like, that's not a present. And I'm like, no, but to me, it is so much a present. I think that when you are in a relationship where you're living together, so whether that be married, you know, just in a relationship with no marriage, whatever that is, and there's a household to be tended to that you both have and should have somewhat of equal responsibilities to that home. A relationship is never 50-50 or 100-100,
Starting point is 00:35:50 whatever people wanna say. Someone's always going to end up doing more and that is just the way that the cookie crumbles. But I do view it as an act of service when that person is taking their time. Like if the intention behind what they're doing is to alleviate some type of stress or pressure on their partner, to me that is an active service.
Starting point is 00:36:15 Absolutely. Like if you know that your partner is easily overwhelmed by like mess and stuff like that, or just like tasks going undone, doing them is like the best thing you could do. 100%. You know what? I was sad to see news.
Starting point is 00:36:31 It was on Harper Bazaar. Is that how you say it? Harper's Bazaar. Harper's Bazaar. Cardi B and Offset have filed for divorce. You know, it doesn't, I don't know why, because I don't follow their relationship closely, but it doesn't surprise
Starting point is 00:36:45 me. Well, it says that they have split up, so I don't necessarily know if they fall for divorce. But yeah, I just thought that they were a good couple. I thought that they were going to last and everything was going to be fine. I mean, I know what Cardi B is like. She's a down-ass B. 100%. she is the Beth Dutton of rap. Like she's just like, for someone I could never picture, like you would never look at her and think like housewife kind of thing. She could rock that role.
Starting point is 00:37:21 It said that she announced this on an Instagram live and that she shared, among other things, that she's been single for a while, but did not know how to announce the news to her fans. That also doesn't shock me. This is on such like a high level, like Cardi B and Offset. We are so like below that situation, but very much relate to how people get invested in your relationship. And they're watching all of these things unfold and all of these things that you're doing as a family and just like living somewhat vicariously through your relationship in some way. And so I can understand why she would have very much felt
Starting point is 00:38:07 the pressure to not announce that news. For sure. And just like, you don't need the negative feedback. And just, that's such like a sensitive time that no matter what someone says, whether it's in support or making fun of you or like shitting on you, it just, you just
Starting point is 00:38:26 want to deal with it privately, I'm sure. Well she explained in this acknowledgement video of the breakup that she had been afraid, but then she said not really afraid, just I don't know how to tell the world. And she felt like that day was like a sign to her. And the last time she had got on live, she had wanted to tell everybody. So I'm assuming that was like maybe the intention, but got cold feet. And then she didn't really know how to. So then she changed her mind. Makes sense.
Starting point is 00:38:56 Which I very much I would not want to do that. I would not want to have to get in front of all these people. And she said, like she had mentioned or referenced something about like outgrowing the relationship. And I very much relate to that as well. I've said that many of times. Like, sometimes, no matter how much you love someone, if all of the other things and life categories do not align, you are naturally going to outgrow that relationship at some point because love is not enough to sustain a relationship. I don't envy public figures when going through shit like that, right?
Starting point is 00:39:35 Like, it's sure, I'm sure it's nice when you're announcing something nice, but when you got to go through the hardship, it's bad enough doing it like privately. Oh God, I was cringing when I posted the photo of me and Jackson sitting in the house that I'm in now in the floor with like no furniture and announcing my divorce. I was absolutely cringing because I did not know what was gonna come of that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:02 And I was just sitting on my couch like, okay, should I post it now? Should I post it now? Would now be the right time? And I did that for days before I did it. Yeah, like I just, I think about like, when anytime Kale wants to say something, and just like, and you wanna say something,
Starting point is 00:40:20 and I get to see it from that point of view, where like, I see the whole backside of already anticipating, oh, what are, like,, what's what are the comments and look like? What are people going to say? And just like that part is that part sucks. It's just a stress that I think that a lot of people just don't. Yeah, they don't understand. Yeah, it's a very small percentage that understand and it's not for them to understand, right? Like we can't expect for somebody else to understand when they're out doing the same thing as us. Yeah, exactly? Like we can't expect for somebody else to understand when they're out doing the same thing as us.
Starting point is 00:40:45 Yeah, exactly. Like most of us get to live our private lives, thankfully. That must, that must be very nice. Hey, Lindsay, guess what I have on? I have no idea. My kinetic, as luck says, glasses from Pear Eyewear. I finally got my blue light glasses, broke down, bought them. Absolutely love them.

Lady gang is a twice weekly podcast where we help you feel less alone in your life with the help of our favorite reality stars and housewives, but mostly me and my two friends

Come get a virtual podcast hug from us every Tuesday and Thursday, wherever you get your podcast on Apple podcast Spotify or wherever else you listen. See you there. Okay. So another listener writes in and says, I'm not sure what I'm looking for. Maybe advice or just someone to understand how hard motherhood can be. I have two boys, a one-year-old and a two-year-old. I'll bless your heart. I am a vice president of HR for a large manufacturing company.
Starting point is 00:43:33 I've worked my butt off to get where I am. My job is pretty demanding and requires me to work late past my kid's bedtime, maybe two days per month. My career is huge to me and it helps me fill my cup. My husband owns his own construction company. His job is extremely flexible, which we are beyond thankful for. He works 30 hours per week. He's responsible for taking our boys to school every morning and two mornings per week. He gets them up on his own too. Otherwise, I am there helping whenever the boys are home sick. He is the one to stay home with them with all of that being said, because his job is flexible. He can take the days off during the week for himself. He uses those days to do whatever he wants I don't get off days alone. My days off are used for holidays
Starting point is 00:44:12 When when the boys don't have daycare or vacation, I pick the boys up after work and come home with them That means that I get no me time. I miss being able to get a haircut. It's been two years I rarely get to see my friends and when I do I usually bring one of the boys with me. I mentioned to my husband today that I'd love to go and get a pedicure this week His response great so you're not planning to be at home at all this week and Then he also brought up how I mentioned that I'd like to grab dinner with a friend one night. Am I being selfish? I feel like I'm being forced to choose between my career providing for our family and mental health self-care. I know when you become a parent everything changes, I just didn't
Starting point is 00:44:49 think that I would lose myself when I became a parent. Do I need to come to terms with this? That this is our life at least for the next couple of years? Oh, I can't speak from the mom perspective, but I just, I have so many friends that struggle with this. I don't have children and I would be lying if I said that with Cory being on night shift, we don't struggle with this situation. Obviously no children involved in ours, but it's definitely a struggle because I work all the time and when I'm working he's sleeping and then when he gets up all the time. And when I'm working, he's sleeping. And then when he gets up, sometimes he'll just like sit around chilling, watching TV, whatever, until it's time for dinner. And
Starting point is 00:45:30 then he goes to work. And then when he has an off day, like most of the time he'll chill or whatever. And I do get very frustrated because then I look at it like, when I take a day off, typically, I'm taking a day off to accomplish something, like to get a bunch of stuff done that I don't have time for with the schedule that I work. So I can relate on the sense of you're never going to be able to give 100% to everything. It's just not realistic. Well, I think society tells us that you need to be 100% in all aspects of our life, right? Like, you can do all of these things and you can juggle all of these cups.
Starting point is 00:46:12 And when you're doing that, most of the time, I feel like your personal mental health and self-care comes last because there's no possible way you can do all of these other things at 100% and still have enough to give to yourself. I do think that this is very much a season. These kids are very young, one and two years old, so this is an adjustment period. You're always not going to have daycare. So when they do go to school, they're going to be one year apart. So when one's in kindergarten, one will be in first grade and they will be at a regular school day. So I think that that will help alleviate some of the stuff.
Starting point is 00:46:55 However, I'm a big believer that when one person has a very flexible schedule and someone else does not have a very flexible schedule, that you have to lean into that. And you have to just accept the fact with your flexibility also comes extra responsibility because your partner does not have that flexibility. That's a good way to look at it. And I can remember right after I had Jackson and I don't know if anyone else ever felt this way, but like new motherhood in general, I feel like is a very lonely place to be specifically whenever you are staying at home with your kids all day and you don't have the adult interaction outside of your
Starting point is 00:47:41 spouse whenever they get home from work. And by the time they get home from work, you're absolutely exhausted. And I can remember, like I went from being just with Will being married, being pregnant, having a dog, very little responsibilities to then having a baby and having to shuffle so much around. And his job was never an issue until Jackson because I grew very resentful of the fact that I was choosing to stay at home and that was my choice
Starting point is 00:48:14 and I still would make that same decision over again. But it was just very frustrating knowing that I was doing all of that and he wasn't getting home from work until so late and he had had interaction, like adult interaction with people all day long. And I'd been in that house all day long. I can't imagine the like I stay at home to work, but I still have interaction with adults. I think that there's something to be said when you're only interacting with a child also, like I anytime I babysat, like I can being like, I just need an adult, like adult time. Yeah. And I think that that's very, very normal.
Starting point is 00:48:52 And I think somebody who has strapped to working outside of the home and working very long hours and providing to the family, I don't understand how you would not reach a point of resentment if you can never do anything for yourself other than work to provide for your family and be with your family. I am a big advocate for also filling your cup
Starting point is 00:49:20 because when your cup feels full, you're gonna be able to do your job better as a mom and as a professional when you're able to also personally fill your cup. I think it's really hard when I, and I, my heart breaks for people when I see them say like, I don't have an option and I don't, I can't give advice there because it's just like hands are tied and it sucks. And I wish so bad that that whole comment of like, it takes a village. Everyone, I wish everybody had a village.
Starting point is 00:49:51 I feel like the villages are fewer and more far between than ever. It's so crazy to me because I was having this conversation with my nanny not too long ago that when I was growing up in the 90s, it truly was a village. Like my dad's parents watched us all the time when they went to work because they were factory workers and mine and call is younger childhood. My dad's parents would wake up, take us to my mom's parents because she ran an at-home daycare and then they would pick us back up to my mom's parents because she ran an at-home daycare, and then they would pick us back up from my mom's parents and bring us back home. And in today's time, I just don't see grandparents doing those kinds of things anymore.
Starting point is 00:50:37 Yeah, that whole thing has definitely shifted. And I think that there's a lot of resentment, but I don't think it's talked about from our generation to our parents generation. Because we all remember, you know, what our parents had the ability to do and being left with our grandparents and whatever. But then our parents are not doing the same things for like us when we have kids. for like us when we have kids. I mean, I just also think that society looks so different today than what it did at that time. And priorities have definitely shifted and more people than ever now,
Starting point is 00:51:14 I feel like are self-employed or working from home and just kind of doing their own thing. Whereas our grandparents, like my dad's parents, were factory workers, like they went, they did their job, they came home, and it was family time. Well, you also have the situation too, right on top of that, where my grandparents were all retired. I mean, my mom is still not retired.
Starting point is 00:51:38 So you also have that- I think you have to help that. Can't retire now. Yeah. There's that whole dilemma also. Okay. Next listener says, and I love this one, how would you handle finding out your partner is paying for someone's only fans? It's not someone we know, thankfully, but still porn isn't cheating to me, but using funds that could be used for our family is hurtful to me. I do not give one fuck if I know the person
Starting point is 00:52:03 or not, they're lucky I don't. But like I draw the, we all know how I am about my budgets. I, oh, I'm gonna choose my words carefully here. Things wouldn't be not well in this house if I found out that money was being spent on someone's only fans. I don't have any, I don't care if that's what you choose to do as your line of work, but like, no,
Starting point is 00:52:31 you're like, you're no, because then we have a joint bank account. So the way that works is now I'm paying for someone's only fans as well. I do not love only fans. I'm not going to judge anybody who does only fans. Girl, go get your coin if that's what you want to do does only fans, girl, go get your coin, if that's what you wanna do. I just don't want somebody that I am with participating in only fans content. I think that's a very slippery slope. And to me, when you are seeking out
Starting point is 00:52:56 by subscription to one specific person, I don't know how anyone would not view that as somewhat of cheating. It's 1,000% cheating. Like I can't know how anyone would not view that as somewhat of cheating. It's 1000% cheating. Like I can't, for me, maybe some people don't think so. There's a lot of free stuff out there that you can go entertain yourself with. If that's something that you agree is fine in your relationship, but the minute you're paying for it, I have a problem.
Starting point is 00:53:20 Well to me at the point that you're, that's just a slippery slope. Like at the point that you are paying for, and I guess you couldn't really, do you consider it a service? I mean, I get technically, yeah, I guess I would consider it like a service. So like if you're paying for a service and you're subscribing to one person's stuff, at what point is that considered like prostitution? I just don't know. I just know for me that is not something that I want or am welcoming into my life.
Starting point is 00:53:50 I don't want my partner doing that. Quite literally, I don't support that industry. However, I'm not going to judge anybody who is participating in that industry. If that's what you need to do to pay your bills, more power to you. I just don't want my significant other subscribing and paying for whatever service that may be. I saw that.
Starting point is 00:54:09 So I saw this get like posted. And I saw that Kale responded to it. And she also said like no, go. Did she give any explanation or she just said no? She said no for me, dog. She said, I believe, don't quote me. Um, I believe that Kale said that like when you get into the realm of paying for it, that's a problem and you need to have that conversation and say it's like not acceptable in your relationship.
Starting point is 00:54:40 Um, yeah, what she, I mean, that was very tactful of her because my visceral reaction to that is like, Cory, it would not be good. It would be very bad. I need to know every single person that is listening to this, don't be a skis like literally write into us and let us know if you are okay with this or if you're not okay with this and why either way, like why you're okay with it or why you're not okay with it. Wow. Because I need to know what is going through our listeners' minds. Coffee Combos podcast is brought to you by Progressive Insurance.

Okay, so something else that came up and I need to ask everybody on here, are we going to be watching Casey Anthony's parents the lie detector test that premieres on January the 4th at 9pm on A&E? I will 1000% be watching it and I 1000% already know it's like, you know, we all know that it's probably not going to be accurate. I just want to say I have absolutely been fascinated with
Starting point is 00:58:13 that case from day one. I watched it like as it unfolded live very similarly as I have the Idaho 4 and Brian Coburger. And I have been invested in every documentary that has come out about KC Anthony. The trial just absolutely everything. And I don't wanna get too true of crimey here. Something is weird with those fucking parents. Yeah, it's a very strange scenario. So.
Starting point is 00:58:44 And I think that they all are pathological liars. Yeah, there's nobody that can tell a straight story out of that family, in my opinion. That's what I think too. OK, so let us know if you guys are going to be watching, because I'm definitely going to be watching. I'm sure Keel will also be watching this person right then and says, so my nephew's school had a dance tonight.
Starting point is 00:59:04 And at the school, the teachers give out colored cards based on their behavior. So essentially the kids who have the worst behavior have to pay to get into the dance and the kids who have better behavior get to go for free. Does anyone else think this is not fair? I think it should either be free for everyone or the same price for everyone. I am neutral on this kind of because I feel like if this winter wonderland dance from the photo that I'm looking at, if that was based with an incentive for them to have good behavior to gain entry to this for free, then I think that is a choice on the student's part that if they don't have the behavior to gain the entry, then there
Starting point is 00:59:54 has to be some type of repercussions because it wouldn't be fair to those students who do have the green cards is what they said is free. It wouldn't be fair to those students. It also kind of negates the fact of the incentive. The money I'm kind of indifferent on because people are strapped for money. This is a school event. I don't love the idea of kids being left out of anything, but I also am a natural consequence parenter. So in the event that Jackson had a yellow card and he had to pay
Starting point is 01:00:33 one dollar and he wanted to go to the stands, but he didn't have the green card to get him for free or he had the white card and he had to pay $3 to get in and he really wanted to go to this dance. Okay, we're going to have multiple conversations here. The first conversation is going to be why did you not get the green card and why could you not behave? That's number one. Number two, if you are that dedicated to wanting to go to the dance, then you should
Starting point is 01:01:03 have thought about your behaviors that was leading up to this incentive. Number three, if you really want to go and there is $1 or $3 that has to be paid, how are you going to earn that money? I'm with you because I feel both sides, right? Like, you know, I feel like on one hand, yeah, like there's a reward for good behavior. On the other hand, there's so, so many people struggling, especially now that literally, and I know it's hard for people who aren't struggling to imagine this, but some people don't even have a dollar. Some people have negative dollars. You also have to consider what if, let's just say, hypothetically, somebody has three kids at the
Starting point is 01:01:48 school and they all come home with white cards. That's $9 that they're having to pay for an entry into the stance. I think it ultimately boils down to responsibility back on the parent's part to determine whether they're going to make their kids not go because they didn't do what they needed to do to get the green card to get in for free. Or if you have the ability to pay the nine dollars and you're still trying to teach a lesson, how are these kids going to earn individually this three dollars to gain admission to a dance which could have been free. Well, it's also you have to think about like the psychological side of it. It's like proven that one of the biggest stresses, if not the biggest, is your
Starting point is 01:02:35 financial situation and that trickles down to kids. So how do we know that the bad behavior is not because of their situation at home? So like that sucks too. So maybe there's like a different, like I don't know. Maybe there's just like a different way. I would love to know other parents who are listening to this. If you were faced with this situation, how would you feel and what would you do? Um, I just think it would be interesting to pull this and get everybody's insight on this. I feel very differently about this than I felt about the ice cream situation that happened
Starting point is 01:03:11 at the school that we talked about a long time ago. And the, you know, no about no launch balance or like negative launch balances. They weren't wasn't that what it was? Like they weren't eligible for ice cream. Yeah, they weren't, wasn't that what it was? Like they weren't eligible for ice cream? Yeah, like they weren't allowed to have ice cream. You also weren't allowed to buy it for a friend. There was like a lot of stipulations on that because like for this, like I think they could take what you're saying as far as like working, like how are they going to work to earn that? I think they could flip it. I think the school could literally say like, if you have a yellow card to be able to go to the dance, you need to like, I don't
Starting point is 01:03:44 know, help a teacher, I don't know, clean their classroom. If you have a white card, you have to help two teachers. I don't know, something like that where it's like not costing an actual dollar, it's costing time, it's teaching a lesson type scenario rather than dollar amounts. Yeah, I mean, I agree. And I want to know what everybody else has to say. Outside of that, what did you see in the news this week? Oh, I saw lots of things. First I need to ask your thoughts here on a little viral situation that's going on. Apparently, cheese infused Coke is taking the beverage world by storm. So I just need to know, like, will you be trying this? Absolutely not. So, cheese-infused coke?
Starting point is 01:04:26 Yes. People are putting, like, slices of cheese into their soda and claiming that it tastes very much like vanilla-flavored coke. And I'm like, I would just get vanilla coke before I put cheese in mine. Yeah. And, like, isn't that a lot of effort to go and like find some cheese to do that versus just getting vanilla coke? Yeah, I don't. I was very, very confused by it, but I also. And like, how long is this infusion process happening?
Starting point is 01:04:57 Because you can't tell me that you're going to your refrigerator and getting a slice of craft. Oh, yeah. Like, is this like a fermenting situation? Like what? Well, it's like the like, you know how Coke pretty much like, you know, eats anything. Yeah. So it just eats the cheese. Like they put it into a glass and then it's like eating the cheese. Okay, well, not only would I be alarmed, I'm still going to drink Coke regardless. But if I poured Coke into a glass and watched it eat cheese, But if I poured coke into a glass and watched they eat cheese, I just don't feel comfortable with that honestly.
Starting point is 01:05:29 Well, I'm just thinking because of my like sensory issues. If I drank anything and there was a random chunk in it, I'm out. Why are certain things that go viral? Do they go viral? You know, that's a good question. That's a good question, which brings me to my next thing that I saw. That's something else that's trending. And it's called bone smashing.
Starting point is 01:05:50 Have you heard about this? Absolutely not. So beauty trend surgeons are actually like warning against this because, and like honestly, don't look it up because it's not safe for all viewers. It's a TikTok beauty trend that's encouraging young people to strike themselves in the face with a blunt object to cause fractures in their face in hope of achieving a perfect jawline or a more physically attractive face. This kind of brings me, and I don't know why it made me just think of this, but like, isn't
Starting point is 01:06:26 it in China where they like bind their feet or something to like make them smaller? I'm not sure what country does it, but I know someone does the feet binding. I'm pretty sure it's China, but you guys correct me if I'm wrong. Why are we smashing our bones? Um, again, the last time I checked, when you smash a bone, you need to get it. if I'm wrong, why are we smashing our bones? Again, the last time I checked, when you smash a bone, you need to go to urgent care or the ER. Yeah, so this is something that's trending involving young people using blunt objects,
Starting point is 01:06:57 cause fractures in their face to achieve a chiseled look. I'm pulled up a CBS news article about this And Dr. Ben Schultz, who is a plastic and reconstructive surgeon from LifeBridge Health, said there is a false belief that behind the increasingly controversial trend, that when bones heal, they grow stronger. He said, when I heard about it, I was like, this is the craziest thing ever since the Tidepots. this is the craziest thing ever since the tide pops. Bone smashers, they have a name for them, bone smashers. Justify the practice by basing it on Wolf's Law, which is a 19th century German surgeon who said bones adapt to stress placed on them.
Starting point is 01:07:36 But Dr. Schultz says bone smashing is absolutely not backed by science. He said, so we know from healing that any scarred tissue, whether it's bone, skin or muscle will actually only ever achieve 80% of the original strength, which is why if people have injuries, they will often re-injure the previous sites. So he's saying that the practice could lead to serious injury or irreversible damage. Um, the face and the facial skeleton are covered with a lot of blood vessels. So if you get a bleed in a particular area, it could cause airway obstruction, suffocation, blindness, or if hit in particular arteries and veins in certain areas, it could cause
Starting point is 01:08:14 nerve damage. Apparently, there was a whole wave of videos demonstrating how to do this that's gotten more than 250 million views on TikTok. Yeah, because 250 million of those viewers are wondering what the fuck is happening. I, I, him comparing it to hasn't seen anything as great, less crazy since Tide Pods, I'm right there with him. The sad thing is, is that when you see trends like this, because people are so invested
Starting point is 01:08:50 on trending and gaining viewers for stuff that they might not necessarily want to do this. But when they see how many people have viewed these types of videos, they're going to be more inclined to do this stuff. Because everything is to go viral. Yeah. have viewed these types of videos, they're going to be more inclined to do this stuff. Because everything is to go viral. Yeah, it's everything is to go viral and it's like not worth it. And then I've tied pods though, I have to tell you this, Jackson and I were on the cleaning
Starting point is 01:09:16 aisle at CROVER the other day. And you know, I don't buy detergent and stuff like at the grocery store. I just get it delivered from Modere. But we were on that aisle looking for Lysol. And we passed the Tide Pods and Jackson stopped steadiness tracks. And he goes, mom, do you remember when all those idiots used to eat Tide Pods on the internet? Like, why would they do that?
Starting point is 01:09:40 Oh, my god. And you're like, yeah, it was basically your generation doing it. Yeah. And I told him, I was like was basically your generation doing it. So yeah. And I told him I was like, would you ever eat a tide pod? And he was like, absolutely not. If you ever handled handed me any type of pod, it's I'm not eating it. Okay, so moving on next. So I'm going to leave you with this one because I saw this article come up yesterday and absolutely had to talk about it here. It is headline is woman enters MRI machine
Starting point is 01:10:08 with a gun and gets shot in the butt. Wait, what? Yeah, you heard me. No, but like I'm not following a 57 year old woman was shot in the buttocks by her own gun when she took it into a magnetic resonance imaging machine while she was having a test and the weapon was grabbed up by the machine's magnets causing the gun to go off. Why did she have a gun getting an MRI? So it goes on and I'm very, that's a good question because I'm also just concerned. So this incident occurred in June, was sent to the FDA as an adverse event report. The injury reported was minor, thankfully. According to this report, the woman was asked if she was carrying a weapon and she answered no.
Starting point is 01:10:55 But like you got shot in the butt. Well, then shortly after that she was carrying a bullet. So, like what? Shockingly, but not shockingly. This is not the first time an MRI machine has grabbed up a weapon that discharged. So apparently this happens more than you'd think. Earlier this year, a man in Brazil had his gun grabbed by the magnet and it discharged and the bullet struck him in the abdomen, but he unfortunately died from his injuries. So this woman definitely
Starting point is 01:11:25 lucky that it was just the butt and everything, you know, was okay. But if he like, I understand if you're out getting an MRI leave your phone at home need to be packing. I just like what thought process was going through your mind like, Hey, I'm going to get an MRI this morning and I need to carry my firearm into the machine. Yeah, like it's not even like with you at the facility. It's it's with you. So I'm not sure but also I'm like, what would possess you to then lie and say you didn't have one on you. Like you just got shot in the ass. But like honestly, there was a reason why they asked if she had a firearm on her. And they probably knew what was going to happen. So to me, they did their due diligence. And if you stay stuck on stupid, then an ass shooting is like warranted.
Starting point is 01:12:27 I saw this and I was like, I have so many questions because I just also wish I was a fly on the wall when this occurred because I need to know like the woman's reaction to getting shot, yes. And then also like everyone present, like what was going through their head. Also same. And on that note, foul play. Oh, I've got some good ones.
Starting point is 01:12:52 Can't wait to hear it. Hey, ladies, I have a funny bachelorette party foul play for y'all. So my hometown is really small. We have one bar, which me and my friends go to every now and then, but it's pretty basic. So my friend who lives in a bigger city through a bachelorette party for my friend, we'll call her Madison. I love when they have to nickname it because you know it's going to be good. I know. So we're pre-party drinking and all pretty tipsy. Madison says my dress is white, so I'm taking off my underwear because you can see them through my dress. Like I said, we're all pretty tipsy and don't really think anything about it. We get to the bar, it's huge and a lot different than we're used to. So Madison is drunk and that's in capital letters. So she is drunk and decides she wants to ride the mechanical bull. We've all been here. There's a bull.
Starting point is 01:13:42 We're riding it. We all follow her over there, right? We all followed her over there and she waited in line for a few minutes. It's finally her turn. She jumps up on that bull and her dress flies up and out comes the kitty. Mind you, she's super drunk and has no idea that everybody in the bar can literally see her cap. So after a second, when we all see and realize it, my other friend who's also drunk starts screaming, Madison, we can see your vagina pulled down your dress. For Madison pulls her dress down,
Starting point is 01:14:16 and at this point, the bull hasn't even started going yet, so she tufts it out and finishes the ride. When she gets thrown off, she flashed the kitty for the second time. She got up, shrugged her shoulders like nothing happened. I mean, they already saw it once, I guess she thought it was fine at that point. Me and my sober friend, who was our DD, were laughing so hard but felt so bad for her. Like, what do you even do at that point when you realize the entire bar sees your kitty? Get off the bull since it hasn't started or just finish the ride? What would you all do? All I know is my girl had some balls, rode that bull like a champ and we had a fun rest of the night
Starting point is 01:14:48 and no one said a word to her about it and she didn't either. Love the podcast and love you guys so much. Okay. So I have lots of questions here. So Madison was wearing this dress when she left her house. I'm going to be assuming. Why was the underwear check not done at that time? And why was the underwear check being done at the point of drunk? Who knows? Maybe different lighting, maybe like at the house, it looked fine, you couldn't see it, but then you get into like certain lighting and you're like, Oh, I see your shit.
Starting point is 01:15:22 But I think at the point that you are already drunk, I think the last thing that I'm personally thinking about is my panties. That's just gently. This girl, it was the first thing she thought about. And I just don't understand, I don't know what level of drunk she was, but since it's in all capital letters,
Starting point is 01:15:41 I'm gonna assume like very drunk, to the point that she probably shouldn't have been on the bull anyway. But wouldn't she have realized that she had no panties on when she straddled it? I'm just thinking maybe she thought her dress was going to like cover it or she probably forgot she had no underwear on. I understand that she might have forgot that she had no underwear on, but you can't tell me that when you're climbing up on a wool in a dress,
Starting point is 01:16:07 then like part of your lips and your ass is like not touching at some point on there to remind you that you have no draws on. I just need to know what your dad would say if you were the one who did this. He would kill us. He would absolutely... I know that we don't like to say kill, harass is the word that we like to use, but it would
Starting point is 01:16:32 be past the point of harassing. Like, why wouldn't it live to see the next day? So there would just be nothing said. It would just be an offing and then that would just be it I am just you know, I respect her courage and I'm very glad no one said anything to her because I'm I mean Would be like why was one of y'all out at the bar showing your lily to everybody? Okay next fell play
Starting point is 01:17:03 Okay, so it's hey Kayle Lindsay and Kristen. I have a short I love when they say hey to me. I have a story to share for foul play. My boyfriend and I both agreed that it would be a great read for the podcast. I'm glad I love that he's on board group effort group effort. I wanted to surprise him with oral on the couch on a random Wednesday night, which he loved. I would hope so. He wanted to return the favor, so we moved to our bedroom. He was well on his way to make the orgasm when suddenly he stood up in shock. I looked down and as he ran to the bathroom, there was blood all over me. Because I have an IUD, I thought the worst, I was so scared.
Starting point is 01:17:41 He called me to the bathroom where I saw blood all over his face. I then did a double take at my cat and realized it was not a me issue. He said, babe, I think I have a nosebleed. Turns out he sure did have a nosebleed while going down on me. We were in between shock and laughter. After that, I nonchalantly got in the shower to rinse off. He cleaned up his nosebleed in the sink. We sat on the couch, put a cold compress on his nose to help some side the bleeding. And we immediately thought, this is a great story for foul play and started typing. Hope you all got a good laugh from this because we definitely did love y'all. I absolutely love that someone was in a sexual situation where oral was
Starting point is 01:18:20 going on. And then it took a turn for the worst. And then they thought of coffee combos podcast. I, I, that's hilarious to me. I actually want to know how many times it's happened to someone like not even necessarily like a foul situation, but just like, what is the most random time some of the listeners have thought about coffee combos in like a not appropriate time. Because I'm just thinking if this is my situation and I'm a host on this podcast. So that that changes a lot, right?
Starting point is 01:18:59 But as a listener of this show, if I am sitting on the couch and this type of activity is going on, I'm not quite sure that I'm immediately thinking I need to get out my laptop and start typing away to coffee combos podcast to get on foul play. I mean, I'm glad I'm glad that they did and I'm glad it was a joint effort. Let's be real for you. It's getting set straight to the group chat. Oh, 100%. You're like, Hey guys, guess what? Let's be real for you. It's getting set straight to the group chat. Oh 100% you like hey guys, guess what guess what just happened? 100% I am
