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 Lindsey Chrisley. I really want you to be in your feels, Kale. That does not interest me whatsoever. I feel very attacked by you. A spirited discussion about motherhood, friendship, family, and life in the public eye.

I'm just not with the fakery anymore. There's a fakery bakery around here. Here's Kale and Lindsey. anymore. There's a fakery bakery around here. Here's Kailin Lindsay. Good morning and welcome back to Coffee Convos podcast. I feel like it has already been a freaking day and it's just now 1130. I could not agree more. Welcome to right before the holidays. Welcome to Right Before the Holidays. Remember when we were talking the other day how life really should just shut down after Halloween? Yeah, I really, really, or for me, I said Thanksgiving.

You're like Halloween after that amount. Yeah, after that, I just feel like we should all be out because nothing good is to come. No one ever answers an email. I feel like you're chasing people down. People are probably chasing you down if we're all being honest. It's just absolutely a shit show.

And I feel like everybody just loses their marbles when you get to this time of the year and everyone also forgets how to drive. Please tell me why I have seen probably five wrecks in the past three days. I swear that driving around the holidays gets crazier and I don't know if it's like people going out and shopping. I don't know if it's just everyone has no patience whatsoever, but there is accidents left and right by me. There's traffic, like

all kinds of stuff. It's like, why do we all wait until the last minute to do something and why are we all also not on Amazon? I did do, first of all, I finished my Christmas shopping. So, hallelujah. I'm happy for you. I still have yet to finish all of my Christmas shopping and I'm hopeful that by Wednesday, I will be finishing my Christmas shopping

because I'm going out of town on Friday. So, if it's not done by then, it's not going to be done. I feel that because well, so Corey's birthday is the 21st. So like I always have to be done by then because I'm like, I can't celebrate your birthday while thinking about Christmas. Like I just can't do it. So that had to get done, felt super successful. I was all over Pennsylvania and New Jersey shopping on Saturday. Got everything that I needed to get done, felt super successful. I was all over Pennsylvania and New Jersey shopping on Saturday.

Got everything that I needed to get done. And then you're going to love this. I already was hosting Christmas Eve, because you know, I do my pasta bar. I'm also now hosting Christmas Day dinner, which I thought was going to be about like five people and now we're like 13. Oh, okay. I love when that happens. Yeah, I'm actually kind of excited about it.

I'm also just winging it. So it's gonna be fine. Wait, did I tell you about my cinnamon roll like Christmas baking situation that happened? No, absolutely not. Okay. So I had this grand idea and I don't even know where it came from.

Like it just popped in my head and I was like, you know, I see all of these videos. To be honest, I was influenced. Okay. I was influenced by TikTok and I kept seeing all of these people making cinnamon rolls as like a holiday tradition. So I was like, what a lovely thing for me and one of my girlfriends to do one evening. So I had Jackson, it was like a Wednesday night. And I thought, okay, well, we'll go over to her house and do it. She's got like a 10 foot island. So like what could possibly go wrong? There's plenty of space. I measure out everything and think I'm doing really good. You know that you're not a baker when you start adding the liquid to all of the flour and stuff. I didn't know that you were supposed to add that in slowly. So when we turned on the mixer, it quite literally blew up.

Oh my God. Please don't leave that this on video. I did. We had lots of messes to clean up. And then we also were trying to go off of a recipe card of a baker, right? Somebody who bakes for a living. That's kind of like my nanny putting together a recipe, being like, you need a pinch of this, a dash of that, a dab of this. It's like, no, I need an exact measurement.

And I'm like, I don't know what pinches and dashes are. That happened to Corey over the weekend because mom and I were doing cookies and we like just know what we're doing. And he's like, how do you even read this recipe? There's not even actual instructions or amounts on here. We're like, well, it's like this and this. And he's like, that doesn't say that. And I'm like, but you just know it. No, you just don't. Because if you've never made it before, it's very complicated. So we do all of this. And I took pictures of everything I took pictures of the mishap, our

recovery, what hers looked like and what mine looked like. So I'm going to post all of those on Instagram at some point over the holiday when I get a chance. But I had to come home and get them in the freezer because I was going to freeze them to make them for Christmas Day. As I walk in my house, Jackson and I smell this God awful stench. And I'm like, what is that? Like something died in here. Like something's very bad. No, I come inside and the dog has diarrhea all over the craze. Again.

Walked all in it and it is all over her everywhere. Like somehow I don't know if she walked and also rolled in it, but like walked, rolled all of the things in there. So I immediately like start pulling everything out, trying to get Jackson in the shower, trying to get his pajamas laid out, trying to get the cinnamon rolls in the freezer. It's like a madhouse. I have nowhere to put the dog because she's gotten so tall now that she can leap over the play yard that I got her. So that's completely not even usable at this point. Can't put her outside because she has found out how to get out of the back

gate. Oh my God. So can't put her out there and it's also freezing cold. So I'm like, wow, I'm gonna pull all of this like diarrhea shit stuff out. I'm gonna put you back in there. I'm gonna get his pajamas out, get this shit in the freezer, get the Clorox out, start sanitizing everything, and then I'm gonna put you in the shower and now I'm immediately pissed. So not only have we had the milk bone incident at the daycare, I'm quite sure that she has an intolerance to something that is in the food that she came with like when I got her.

Did you check out that documentary I told you to watch? I did. So I had one afternoon that I finished all of my stuff early in the day. I was able to take a mid-afternoon shower and I was dedicated to watching Petfold. When you told me it was free and on Amazon Prime Video, I was like, immediately, yes, sign me up. When I started watching it, I decided

that Birdie was never going to eat dog food from the store ever again. I had no idea that it was basically a completely non-regulated industry. Had also no idea that dogs were not supposed to have corn, wheat, soy, had no idea about that. Have mixed reviews on raw diets and like homemade dog food. And now Trent and I have decided that we might start a business making dog food. And we're gonna order 12 crockpots. 12 crockpots.

It was, I was wondering what your reaction was going to be because when my mom and I watched it, I was, I told you, we literally finished it. The credits were rolling and I was on farmer's dog. Okay. So you decided to order from farmer's dog. Yes. Why did you make the choice to order from farmer's dog versus making your dog's food like in your kitchen? For us, it came down to like a timing issue and everything that I had researched because I had started researching dog food stuff prior to me watching the documentary. That's what

made me find the documentary. And then I watched that and I was for sure done with just like regular store bought at the grocery store dog food kind of stuff. Something that I saw about homemade diets unless you really, really, really research and know what you're doing. A lot of the time the homemade diets don't have enough of like the nutrients and stuff that your dog needs. And like the nutrients are ever changing and stuff. So like make sure that they have what they need as they are aging. And it freaked me out, because I felt way too much responsibility.

So did a ton of research, talked to my vet, and she had already said something to me about Farmers Dog. And she's like, if you want to go that route, there's this company that does this. So had researched in a ton. One of my, I know in a private conversation, we were talking about this, but it was a couple. One of my, I know in a private conversation, we were talking about this, but it was a couple of years back now, they came out with a list of dog foods that

were causing dilated cardiomyopathy in dogs. And one of the dog foods on there was what I was currently feeding all, like I had been feeding my dogs and it actually affected Dosecki's. He went from being completely healthy and fine to he had like a grade four heart murmur in the span of a year. Nobody had any idea why they didn't know what the hell could have caused it. This list comes out shockingly enough. The dog food was there. Obviously you can't directly point it to that. We'll never know, But that definitely, definitely impacted

me personally. So started taking that really seriously was like, I was to this trial of farmer's dog. And at the time, like I had just like he's was getting older. He was losing hair. He was losing weight. Because he wasn't really liking his dog food. When I tell you like weight, put on his weight was healthy looking, his coat came back, he's shiny, like just saw really, really good improvements. The only thing that I'll say that my vet recommended and stands true is like, you got to brush your dog's teeth if they're not eating hard stuff. I mean, you should brush your dog's teeth anyway. But if they're on a mostly like wet diet, they don't have like stuff to like rub off

like the black and whatever. So you definitely want to make sure that you're keeping up with your dog's teeth because that can go south pretty quickly. So I know all of our dogs like part of their preventative care plan is a dental cleaning one time a year. So they do all collectively do that. Someone actually messaged me and said that if I was going to make dog food at home and that was the route that I decided to go, then I maybe should hire a dog nutritionist to

like come in and show me how to like measure everything out, make sure the ingredients are right for what needs to be put in there so that they're not having like a lapse in the nutritional stuff that they need. So I'm going to look into that. I'm also going to look into farmer's dog and just see like what the options are there. But Trent and I are now definitely dedicated to a dog food business. So it's, I mean, it's really just sad, right? Like we all, it's sad enough when your pets don't live forever as it is Anyway, they don't live as long as people and then to think about how what you're feeding them is like directly impacting their health and stuff is

It just added a whole other level of responsible pet ownership But it sent me down a slippery slope because I was like, okay, if this is so unregulated, number one, that's just terrifying. Number two, made me wonder about like the human food industry and like what we are consuming. Mm-hmm. I mean, that's a very dark. I did the same things. You're not the only one, but it is scary.

It's for sure scary. I know I had a ton of people reach out to me for the code that we talked about in the last episode to get the free trial farmer's dog. You can still get it, so if you didn't get it the first time, just message me or hit me up in the Facebook group and I will send it out for sure. But again, I always recommend checking with your vet. My vet has the nutritionist background also. Some vets, people pointed out to me, don't have that. So I definitely think getting a pet nutritionist opinion along with taking any health issues into consideration with your vet, just like you would with a person, do the same thing for your pet.

with your vet, you know, just like you would with a person do the same thing for your pet. This podcast is sponsored by Embrace Pet Insurance. We sure do talk about our little furry friends a lot on this podcast and I cannot recommend Embrace Pet Insurance enough. If you have a dog or a cat, Embrace Pet Insurance offers customized plans for your pet's exact needs. With the cost of everything just going up, did you know that vet care prices have increased by 33% from 2022 to 2023? Oh, it's crazy. Just having a pet in general is expensive. When you think about natural pet food, which we talk about to pets sitting when you go on vacation, the costs honestly can skyrocket so quick. But one thing that I say is definitely worth it for your fur baby is pet insurance.

You would rather have it, trust me, than have a situation where you don't have it. I absolutely love with Embrace Pet Insurance that you can visit any vet or emergency clinic and they have that 24-7 helpline and optional wellness rewards program. So they're helping you ensure that you're prioritizing preventative care for your pets. Hopefully you'll never have to even need to use Embrace in the first place, but I would hate to not have it and need it.

If you're like me and you have multiple pets to ensure they also have a 10% multi-pet discount that you would be eligible for. I have been in plenty of situations where I have found myself at the emergency vet and until I prioritized making sure that I had pet insurance, it was frequently very, very expensive and you can end up in a situation where you're coming between healthcare for your animal and the money that you have available to you. But with Embrace, it is definitely a different story and I can't recommend it enough. That is your sign to not wait for the unexpected to happen.

So want to update you also on my holiday plans and how I'm preparing slash not prepared. Yeah. What is the status? Because I was just listening to the bonus episode with you and Kale, and it kind of was like up in the air.

It's more solidified now. We are doing a staycation in Atlanta Friday through Sunday, which is Christmas Eve, and then coming home, Jackson will wake up at my house on Christmas day. I'm letting him go with his dad to his dad's parents on Christmas Day afternoon. Then he will bring him back to me the next day. I will have him for two days. I'll celebrate his birthday with him. And then he and Will are headed to Jacksonville because they're going to the Clemson, Kentucky bowl game.

And then they're headed to Will's parents lake house to celebrate the new year. Trent and I are going to my friend Callie and Bo's parents to ring in the new year and to have like our traditional New Year meal. And I want to know if it's just like Southerners who do this, where it's like collard greens, cornbread, black eyed peas, like, is that something that everybody does or just us? On when? New Years. Oh, that is has to be a southern thing, because that is absolute. I never heard of that for new years up here, never experienced that. It's supposed to be like good luck. Interesting. I mean, I, I, it's a vibe for sure. We, I've just

never, I don't think that at least that I know of, there's not like a typical New Year's meal that I can think of that I've ever experienced, whether it be family or friends, I do, last year I started it, I'm like big, I don't know why the past couple of years have been big into starting traditions and stuff. And for New Year's, we just do dips. It's dip, like any type of dip. So you'll have like your app dips, and then you'll have like your main course dips

or like cheese balls or whatever. And then you have your dessert dips. Okay, I mean, I love the dip idea. We typically do that on Christmas Eve. It's like hors d'oeuvres. Okay. We do it on Christmas Eve. And then New Year's is always like their traditional

Southern New Year's Day meal. And then for Christmas dinner this year, we're doing what is it called beef tenderloin and twice baked potatoes and salad. Trent gets his kids the back half of Christmas day and Jackson will be with his dad the back half of Christmas day so we're kind of flip-flopped on that. That'll be fun though. I'm first of all glad that you got it figured out because I know you were saying you were like, not sure what to do about sending Jackson or

what. I can't imagine having to do the splitting kids thing on holidays. That's got to suck. Oh, it absolutely sucks. And it changes your whole day. But I've just learned that it's just a day and you have to think about what the kids would want over what you desire. And if you just keep that into perspective, I know it's easier for some people and harder for others when you don't have a great co-parenting relationship. It can be really hard because you don't want to share with somebody that you absolutely

hate or can't stand to see. But you have to think it's just about the kids. And I didn't want Jackson missing out with his cousins. Um, his brother now has two kids. And so Jackson used to be the only child. So it didn't really matter about the day because he was only one being celebrated. So if I had him on Christmas, it didn't matter if he went on the 26th, because there was no other children there.

Now, that's completely changed. So I don't really feel that it's fair that he doesn't get to celebrate with them because he loves playing with them. And it's just different if he's seeing his grandparents separate from that, if that makes sense. Oh, yeah. I'm sure because it's just, it's not as fun, right? Like when you have your cousins or whatever and or siblings or whatever that looks like. So that'll be, that'll be good. Yeah, we are doing Christmas Eve. We've

got our pasta bar going on. So everyone's going to come over for that Christmas morning. We go to Cory's parents house for his mom makes breakfast for everybody. So we all go there because then we kind of all usually had to go like separate ways and stuff over the past few years and then Christmas night for dinner my aunt and uncle are coming in which will be super nice I haven't had them for Christmas since I was little so they'll be coming over Mom's boyfriend's coming and then Corey's parents are coming back For dinner his uncle's coming and then I pretty sure his sister, her boyfriend and our nephew.

I'm just telling you, and this is going to sound very Grinch-like when it comes out of my mouth, but I cannot wait for the holidays to be over. Oh, really? Usually you love it. I usually do. And I feel like it has been such a stressful time of the year. Mine and Trent's kid schedules on holidays are exactly flip-flop. So Trent shares the same schedule as Will and I share the same schedule as his ex-wife. And so that has been very challenging in itself. And then just the fact of everything just has felt so last minute, I was not prepared for the holidays to hit

and I don't know why I acted like I was brand new and it wasn't coming the same time of the year. And I just think that I've had so much stuff going on. Like I'm in the process of looking at houses, looking at land, trying to keep my mental health in check, trying to take care of Jackson. School's been very overwhelming for him this year. It's just been a frickin' lot.

And that child has three basketball games in this next week to close out school for the year. Which, this is also your first season back at being a sports mom. This has just been absolutely insane. And to have a game on Saturday, then he has a game on Tuesday, then he has a game on Thursday, and then he's on Christmas break. I'm like, that's just a lot.

It's a lot. I also, I think there's a lot of people sharing your sentiment. It's funny because this was me last year. I very much was just like, God, like get this holiday over with. It's so stressful, whatever. This year I was like committed to, I was like, I need to feel the Christmas magic. I put not one tree, but two trees up. Last year I didn't even have one tree even decorated this year.

I've got two trees up, still not decorated because life, but I think that there's a lot of people feeling that way because like, I think as we get older, the years fly by faster and faster. Plus just life stuff plus work like, I know tons of people out there that are working like multiple jobs like I do and like that just takes up time. And it's, you get lost in like the day to day. And the next thing you know, it's like, it's literally the holidays. And you're like, wait a second, like where did the entire year go? And now I have to cram all this stuff into like a two week window.

I will be totally honest with you. I have always loved the holidays. It's always been my favorite time of the year. However, this year has been extremely overwhelming to me. And I was hopeful after last year with my parents being sentenced like a couple of days before Thanksgiving and that just all going to hell.

I was like, okay, I think I had such high hopes for this year and I just feel kind of like let down a little bit. I also absolutely hate Christmas gifts. Like I hate it. I hate receiving it. I hate giving it. I hate every part of it because I'm a big giver throughout the year. So trying to like scrounge around to find something for

somebody when I probably gifted the people that I would be purchasing for anyway all year long. It's like there's really nothing left to really get that seems meaningful or like a wow factor and I can't wait until all of our kids are old enough to where we can just like gift a trip and all go and do that trip and not worry about gifts. It's funny because I was listening to before we got on to record. I was listening to you and Kale talking about it. And I love giving gifts.

I love it. I start listening around this time of year because most of the time I'm like around right now because most of the time my gifts for the year Are for Christmas are already purchased So I'll start listening now about things that people want and I'll just make mental notes throughout the year and then Christmas comes and I'm like boom I'm getting this one this and this one like I just already know and I pride myself on being like a phenomenal listener and gift giver for that reason.

So I do love that, but I don't love receiving for me is weird because the way that I was raised and I don't know, it didn't really, it sounded like this is where our parents like we're different, which you and I share a lot of similarities. We've talked about this before between our parents were different, which you and I share a lot of similarities. We've talked about this before between our parents and the parenting style we grew up with, but my parents gifted majority of things that we need.

I think we would get one or two things that we wanted from them, mostly things that we needed, and then our extended family was the ones who would go and get us stuff that we wanted. So they were older. And as they like passed away and stuff, and it was more we were getting what we needed, now I'm old enough that I buy the things

that I need throughout the year so that I don't have anything to tell anybody. And then everyone's mad because I'm not giving good ideas for myself. Like Cory and I are fighting right now because he's like, you didn't give me a Christmas list. And I'm just like, what do what are you going to tell you? I just want like clean something, patch holes in the walls.

Like that would be a gift to me. He's a death's not a gift. To me it is. So it's just changed for me over the years. So I'm definitely more of a giver than a receiver. I, this makes me think about receiving gifts. Makes me think about baby showers and not to get off on a long tangent about this, but I need to know who has been pregnant and how

to baby shower listening to this. Do you open gifts at the baby shower or do you just take them home and open them? I think nothing is more awkward than having to be in the front of a room with a bunch of people around you and opening up stuff. And it's like, oh, thanks for the onesie. Like, I just had this conversation less than 12 hours ago with my mom. Not even joking. It's so awkward to me.

I've obviously haven't had a baby shower yet, but only thing I can compare it to, my bridal shower. It was two hours of me sitting there in front of everyone staring at me, opening up, opening up presents, not just like casually opening them. No, everyone hold it up, hand it around. Ooh. No, I appreciate your present. I would appreciate it so much more if you weren't staring at me while I opened it. Totally felt totally felt that. And Kale is the same way. Kale does not like doing like for birthday parties and all that stuff. She doesn't do it personally. Her kids don't open gifts in front of people. That's like,

and I always thought it was strange up until I hit my bridal shower. And then I was like, I get it. As far as a baby shower goes, I just told my mom last night, I said, I think that when I get pregnant, I don't think I'm going to tell anyone. I think I'm just going to pop out with this kid and just be like, yeah, I had a baby. I don't want to bridal shower. I don't like being the center of attention. I'm a baby shower. I don't want to be the center of attention.

I hate that. Like the most, I just, I'm not about it. So I can tell you if I got pregnant again, I would, I'm not about it. So I think that- I can tell you, if I got pregnant again, I would plan my own thing. And it would probably be like a barbecue of some sort, with like beer and champagne for everybody. And it would be men and women invited, whoever loves me and this unborn child, please come and just have

a good time. Don't bring gifts. Actually donate diapers so that I can donate them somewhere. Oh, diaper keg. That's like your vibe. Yes. And like, that's it. But opening gifts in front of people absolutely hate it.

And I think that I got traumatized as a child opening Christmas gifts because my dad would make us do this like individually. Same. And it was like, through all of us kids. So five of us, everybody opened one present. Yeah, you go in a circle. Yeah. Yep. And it's like, what did you get? What did you get? No, I am now traumatized. So now I absolutely hate doing it.

And Jackson loves every gift. Like anything that you get him, he absolutely loves it. And he thinks it's like the most exciting thing. It could be something from five below. And he's like, this is so great. And I love that I can gift my child that is excited to get gifts because I was not that child. I was also not. And I think I've always, I think I just have always had social anxiety.

So just the fact of everyone staring at me at one time wanting me to do something, I was not well. I was very unwell. I didn't love it. Like I have pictures in photo albums of me as a child, like, cringing while like holding up like a t-shirt that someone bought me and I'm like, ehh, like, for the camera. And my mom was like, you would just get so fed up with it, you would put yourself in your playpen and turn your back to everybody.

I love that because I don't feel so alone. This episode is brought to you by IQ Bar and do you know that I stocked up on so many different IQ Bar products to put in stockings this year? It's not even funny. No, literally, that's one of the things that's going in all of our stockings. I grabbed so many of the sampler packs because they have so many things for everybody. And I can't wait for, like we love them, but I'm giving them to some people who haven't tried any of IQ Bar's products yet.

So I can't wait to see the reactions. Listen, we are like pushers of IQ Bar because it truly is so good all of their products are.

Their protein bars are plant-based protein bars packed with high-quality ingredients for both your body and your brain. iCube bars are vegan, gluten-free, and low in both sugar and carbs.

See terms for details. I will tell you all what I am most looking forward to to 2024 is just a new fresh start of 365 days. I feel like I did not have a fresh start to my year going

into 2023. And I just, I don't know, like I feel a little bit anxious right now because of the holiday, but at the same time I feel such a sense of peace and like other areas of my life that I just can't wait for the year to turn over, start a whole new book, whole new chapter, not a new book, but a new chapter, get all of this Christmas shit cleaned up and back in my storage. And that's it. Like I just, I cannot wait.

I've started like ordering stuff so I can have a better setup for podcast in the new year. And this is the first time I'm gonna be talking about any of the next stuff that I'm about to say. And Kristen is actually gonna kill me because I called her after five o'clock on Friday. It was like, I think I found my next house.

I've been to it twice over the weekend. I'm going to it tomorrow morning again. And I also went and looked all weekend long. I had my agent pull like everything within the zip codes that I would be comfortable moving to and drove by. Please tell me why I found one house that I was like, oh, that could be comparable. It's super close to Will.

It's very convenient for Trent. This one will be perfect. I think it's it. Jackson Trent and I pull up yesterday and I get out, start walking down the driveway and I go, nope, this isn't it. I was there maybe, maybe 10 seconds and Trent was like, wait, what? And I was like, no, it's not it. There is a cemetery in the backyard. Oh my God, are you kidding me? It backed up to a church and there's a cemetery that like you can see from the yard and he

was like, oh, you can just like plant some trees back there. And I'm like, no, the fact that I know that it's there. Absolutely not. Okay. No. First of all, I'm not the only one still as an adult that when I pass the cemetery, I hold my breath. I'm terrified.

I'm absolutely terrified. I'm like, you know what? If it rains too much, I'm afraid something's going to come up. That's number one. Number two, I don't do well with funerals. I do not do well with Halloween and I do not do well with the dead. So this is like very much your worst nightmare. So it's like immediately this is not it.

He was like like you haven't even looked at like the house. I don't need to like I have seen enough when I arrived here that this ain't it. I check the perimeter first duh and it's a no. It's a no for me dog. So we got back in the car and I went back to the drawing board I text my agent I was like we're back to square one and I still like the house and I went back to the drawing board. I texted my agent, I was like, we're back to square one. And I still like the house that I visited twice over the weekend. The only problem is, and this doesn't sound like a long way,

it's 15 minutes from Will's. Sometimes we forget things lots of times. So a couple of days ago, Will and I exchanged stuff three times in one day. Okay, so I think that that problem can be fixed by just maybe making a checklist. The checklist needs to be made on one side and not the other.

So I'm not gonna say whose side that needs to be made on, but sometimes I feel like even if it's not my problem, I still surrender to the problem and just do the drop off because I don't want to hear about it. But 15 minutes, if you forgot something three times in that day, I guess that would be your learning lesson, right? Because if you had to travel it three different times, that's like two hours in the car. Well, I think two, okay, so this depends because you were trying to go somewhere like 10 minutes away and you got stuck for an hour in construction. So I guess it depends on what kind, like what

the traffic situation is in the 15 minutes because that could end up being a lot longer. Well, it's not really a traffic situation on this road because it truly is like it's two golfing communities that are on the same main road. You're just out here trying to play Golden T, aren't you? I just need a garage big enough to put our own in it. And I'm like, everybody can come over. It'll be fun. It'll be the entertainer's house.

I don't know, I feel like Trent's trying to convince me not to move to this house because that puts me 15 minutes away from where he is like 15 minutes longer. Further, yeah. And not that 15 minutes sounds like a lot, but you know, like on a regular afternoon at 4.30, 15 minutes could be a lot. The problem is, is when you see something that you really like, and nothing compares. Here's the other thing. Because I've done the land search, we know that I've talked about that a lot. Problem is on the land that I like, my girlfriend purchased land from a family. This old lady inherited land. She was like an heir of this

land. She purchased a parcel of that land. That lady still owns 37, 37 acres surrounding the land. She doesn't plan to do anything with it right now, but in the event something happened to her, you don't know what her heirs are gonna do with it. So like they could sell it off to like a mass builder, a mass production builder that could just go in and throw up a bunch of houses and you don't know what they're gonna put on it.

So you definitely wanna make sure you're protecting what you're spending. So that's a bit of a concern. For this situation, everything's already built. So and it sits on a golf course. So you know that like nothing's going to be built behind you. The only thing that you're dealing with are dudes drinking Miller lights. And possibly rogue golf carts. But yes. So I text Will the listing and I was like, I'm thinking that this is it. And he was like very fitting. You would be sitting on the hole that I blew my kneecap out last year. Oh my God, of course.

So honestly, that might be early 2024. I have to have private conversations with Kristen about that after the recordings. But Kristen, would you like to tell me what you have found on the internet this week? Oh, absolutely. I was on a search. Well, really not on a search, but it was, I just read stuff all the time. I'm going to start with something I saw. So have you ever heard of chopped?

It's like the franchise. Like the salad place? Yes. Yeah. So I see this headline that says, customer Sue's chopped eatery chain over salad that she says contained a piece of manager's finger. And I was like, wait, what? I'm going to eat coffee combos.

Yes. A piece of man. How did they know it was manager's finger? That's, I'm not really sure. So I start reading. It says that this lawsuit was filed by somebody in Greenwich, Connecticut. She alleges that she bought a salad at a chopped location in Mount Kisco, New York on April

7th of 2023. And she realized while eating it that she was chewing on a portion of a human finger that had been mixed into and made a part of the salad. Nope. According to the suit, a manager at the restaurant accidentally severed a piece of her left pointer finger while chopping a rugula. Um, so they confirmed that the manager actually did do this. Mm hmm. So chopped evidently was fine $900 by the $900 or eating a human finger. No, so this is so it's like, I guess part of it,

but it was fine $900 by the county health department already, which I feel like is very low. You know, she the the person filing the suit said that she suffered injuries including shock, panic attacks, migraines, cognitive impairment, nausea, dizziness, neck and shoulder pain as a result of eating the contaminated salad. I feel like I would have all of those things that I would be suffering from plus some other things. Probably a death because if I was eating a chopped salad and I realized that I was eating human finger. I would be vomiting. I didn't see that one listed. So I don't, I get the knowledge of it, but I would, I would be immediately

projectile vomiting, like top, topping the exorcist. That's what would be occurring for me. Like I just, I couldn't. Here's the other thing. I have so many questions and I know that you can't answer them, but these are just like all the questions going through my mind. If you were a manager at CHOPped and you were cutting lettuce and you realized that you cut your finger and your fingers off are like part of your fingers off. Like, are you not going to look for it?

Well, so I guess like that's where I'm also confused because like, if you did that, I would think I never worked in the food industry. That's not one that I worked in. I recruited for it, but I did not work in it. You would think that there's a protocol that if you get any type of injury while doing anything around food prep, all of the food needs to go. That's what I was going to say.

Why are we acting like that this isn't a big ordeal and we're just putting all the lettuces in like a thing and hoping that the finger didn't get in. I have no idea. I have absolutely no idea. Um, and y'all this is a manager. This is somebody that we trust. Yeah. So that one really shocked me and I immediately was like, gotta bring it to, gotta bring it to the coffee convo's listeners because I need to hear the thoughts on it.

Kristen, I have a question for you. I'm ready. Have you ordered a new fix from Stitch Fix? Okay, so I told you that I got my first one because I finally took y'all's advice, got it, loved it.

I know I'm like, can we do this here because I don't know about you but like when I was younger, I guess I didn't really, not that I didn't care, but I didn't pay attention to stuff about like being sustainable and like ethical, sustainable like businesses and making article that comes up talking about they have a rent a tree firm in London and it's helping people have a sustainable Christmas. So went on to read and essentially they are able to literally go rent a tree and then bring it back instead

of just throwing it out and it being dead. Yeah, but what are they doing? Because they have to cut it. So then they're bringing it back and they're doing what with it? So no. So this says they can pick, so they go through just like you would go picking your tree and then instead of throwing it away, they return it, they have it inside of a pot. So you water it, continue to water it and take care of it over the holiday season and then you return it back to this rental firm that looks after it until the following year. In the article I'm reading, the person who runs it, his name is Jonathan Mearns. And it says, we just say it's rent water return. After Christmas, you return it and we put it back into the irrigation system. Interesting. So it's basically like you are babysitting a Christmas tree.

Yeah. And then you get to like give it back. And then I think it would be so cool if you can like continue to get the same tree over and over. Like I've had this tree since I was four years old and you're like 40. I mean, that would be so cool. And I just remember growing up, my parents used to drive us to the mountains. And we would go to the mountains, get a fresh cut tree. I don't know if anybody else's parents did this, but both my mom's drove like suburban or escalades. So we drive to the mountains, get these trees, strap them on the top, and also they made like Christmas wreaths that you put on the front of the grill of your car.

Oh, seriously? Yeah. And so they would have like these fresh wreaths on the front of their car and now I see them and I'm completely embarrassed that we ever rode around like that and I'm just like why were we riding around with a wreath on an escalade but like okay. I have only ever had a real tree I think maybe twice since I've been like grown and gone. I feel like the most sustainable thing is artificial. I think it depends on like how it's like,

I guess like how it's made, the emissions coming from the place that it's made and all that stuff. So I was reading this and I was really intrigued because I was like, oh, like, who was this person that thought about this? You're never gonna guess. So first of all, the guy who started this,

he was a police officer. He worked in counter-terrorism. He started the business in 2017 and said that he now has a loyal band of customers that come back year after year. Listen, the people who go out and buy real trees and then chuck them on the side of the road, if you're a listener of Coffee Combos podcast, do not do that. Well, I think they just like chuck it to the curb because like where else are you gonna put it? Well, I feel like if you're going out and getting this real treat,

then like maybe cut it up and can you burn it? Maybe, I think maybe. I would think, yeah. Like cut it up and burn it. It's like a fire. I don't know. Yeah, I just feel like it's so wasteful and just like sad and right after Christmas,

if you drive down the highways, at least after Christmas, if you drive down the highways, at least in Georgia, you drive down the highways, there's just like tree random trees on the side of highways with, you know, leftover ornaments or like string lights that people didn't care to like remove. I don't know. I just like don't feel comfy with it. And I feel so good. Like I feel like I'm sustainable because I'm using the same trees year after year, putting them away in my attic, getting them back out, and I'm not taking trees from wherever else. Yeah, I mean, I definitely have artificial because we've got allergies. So I've had a real tree a couple times. We finally established when I was younger that that's where the allergy was coming from. So when I got older, we had artificial. I don't know. I was really, I loved this concept though.

I was like, how cool, like I just thought it was super, super cool. I'd never heard anything like it. And I was here for it. The last thing that I saw was, you know, Matthew Perry obviously passed away in October. His cause of death was officially established. So...

I've been waiting for this news to come out and I didn't see it. Cause I wasn't online all weekend. Yeah. So this came out a couple of days ago on Friday and it was established that he died from acute effects of ketamine in an accident. So...

What does that mean? It says contributing factors in peristaff, including drowning, coronary artery disease accident. So what does that mean? It says contributing factors in peristaff including drowning, coronary artery disease and the effects of bufrenorphine, which is used to treat opioid use disorder. The manner of death is accident. The statement released said. So did he have an opioid addiction and he was using that to like not do it. So he was a recovering addict. I knew that. Yeah, for a very, very long time.

So I guess he was using that to make sure he didn't use again. Got it. Or it's going to be less likely. But I did see that so, so sad. That is so sad. I just thought it was not likely that he would have drowned in his hot tub without there being some type of something else involved. So it's interesting because I have a lot of heart disease and heart issues.

My dad passed away suddenly from a massive heart attack. We didn't even know he had anything wrong. The minute that the drowning thing occurred, my head didn't go to that. I just know that one of the things when you go into a hot tub, one of the warnings is that it can raise your blood pressure. So if you have an increase in blood pressure and you already have a heart problem, you could have a heart attack or a stroke or something like that. Oh, I didn't know that.

The only thing I knew about hot tubs was you could get moluscom from it. Yeah, there's a lot of things that you can get from hot tubs, evidently. So I didn't, I'm hoping that that just stops everybody who was like, oh, he was using again and all that stuff. The family doesn't need that. Family and friends don't need to hear that about someone that they love that suddenly passed away

and still so sad, honestly. And it led me to think, I don't know to hear that about someone that they love that suddenly passed away and Still so sad honestly, and it led me to think I don't know about you But like I have been inundated with seeing so many things about young people Passing away from think like health issues like strokes heart attacks cancer this that like People are age I say young like obviously we're adults. We know about childhood cancer and all that stuff, but I was thinking and I'm like, what a perfect time of the year to like try to get all of your health appointments scheduled for next year because I know that like, I haven't done a great job about like making sure that I'm healthy and taking care of my health. But that's something that I definitely want to focus on next year.

Um, cause I just want to feel good and I want to like be around as long as possible. And my genetics play against me for sure. So it's, you know, I just hear about it all the time and I can't stress enough that like, go listen and getting checked. I am such a stickler. You know this. I am such a stickler immediately when it's time for me to have a checkup for something or a dental cleaning or whatever. I'm not going longer than what my health insurance will allow me to go. So if it's like one gynecologist visit a year, one physical a year, two teeth cleanings a

year, that's happening. And I don't care what else is happening. That's for sure happening. And I'm the same way with Jackson. Definitely. And, you know, I have taken after my father where I'm like, yeah, I'll get there. I'll get there. I'll get there. I mean, he flat just was like, I'm not going, but I've definitely been like, yeah, well, I've got all this work and I've got this and that and whatever. And I just like put it to the back burner, put it to the back burner. Next thing I know a whole year has gone by and then just repeat

the cycle, repeat the cycle. And I know in my last world work, I had like crazy stuff wrong. So I have to focus on that in 2024. And I just feel like there's so many people our age that still feel like, you know, we're 18 to 21, that we probably aren't going to the doctor and getting their checkups and stuff, but it's so, so important. I know so many people who don't. It's like, I haven't been to the doctor

in five years or something. And when I hear that, my spine crawls because I'm like, okay, immediately I ask, do you have medical insurance? And the answer is always yes, I have medical insurance. Why are you not using your medical insurance? A lot of it for some people, I mean, I know right now, and I can, you know, speak to this, especially with like friends and stuff. I have never thankfully been without health insurance. That's never happened to me. But there have

definitely been times where I couldn't afford my copay to go to the doctor. And that's actually sick that we live in a society where that's a situation. Wait a minute though. And because I don't know, because I've always, like you said, never been without health insurance. So thank God for that. But for us, on my type of plan, we don't have co-pays for regular yearly visits. It's only like sick visits do we have co-pays for. So I believe, if I'm not mistaken,

I know that the I believe you have one physical per year that's covered with no coay, I believe. And then for women, you have an annual pap smear that is covered. I heard, or at least my doctor's medical group told me that they only give pap every two years as long as nothing's abnormal. It might have changed because I'm guilty, haven't gone in a hot minute, which is not okay to highly don't recommend. My mom is older and she got told at her last one they're like, yeah, like we'll stop doing them in the next few years. And I was like, actually, no, the fuck you won't. So not really sure about one stop doing them. They claim that your likelihood of getting cancer after a certain age, like as far as like a gynecological cancer is so significantly reduced that unless you're having a problem,

you know, essentially don't go back. I, it's, that's not what's happening with my mom. That's all I got to say. That can use just insane. She'll be there. Yeah. I, I don't agree. I think that's how things get like slip up, things

get missed. I mean, here's how I feel to my knowledge. There's no age cut off for when men stop getting their prostate checked. So why are you not checking my internal things? Yeah, that's a no for me. Like I said, anytime I can go, I go. With my type of insurance, I get one gynecologist visit a year covered for like my annual, one physical at my regular doctor covered. And then with my dental insurance, it's two dental cleanings a year. Actually when Will and I shared insurance through his company, I was able to get three cleanings per year. Oh, really?

Yeah. Damn it. Damn. That's kind of crazy. But I know, I think too, that it's not, if I'm not mistaken, could be wrong on this. Somebody correct me. I'm not super, super familiar with insurance. That's like my mom's thing.

Your annual situation might be covered, but if they find something and you have to go get further testing in labs and all that stuff, that is, you have copays. You have copays, you have co-insurances, like depending on your plan. So I think that's the other thing is that people don't want to risk finding out something is wrong and not being able to do something about it. Well, because then it puts the pressure back on you, like now you're aware. So now you're obligated or feel obligated to like find out more information. If you don't have the money to be able to pay for it, then it puts you in a

straight up pickle. Yeah, it's, it's a bad, it's a bad situation. Um, and it sucks and we can get into a whole thing about that, but for anybody who has the ability, I would definitely recommend pulling a Lindsey and scheduling all of your health appointments out and actually taking your health seriously in 2024. That's like my PSA. 100%. One of our listeners wrote in and I wanted to read this. She said, I've been

one of my boyfriend for almost two years. Our relationship is great. He's truly the best partner I've ever had. He was previously married and since he works out of town, his wife cheated on him all the time. Oof. Their marriage ended because he caught her cheating seven times. Last year in October, I was diagnosed with HSV2 genital herpes. I got herpes from my boyfriend. He contacted his ex-wife about it who was super petty and said, yes, she knew she had it but didn't want to tell him during their marriage because she knew that he'd leave her. I'm very symptomatic.

I get outbreaks constantly because of this. I'm also more sensitive to UTIs, yeast infections and BB. There is always something going on. It's been a hard road for me because being 24, I've slept with less than 10 people my whole life and I've always been pre cautious. Me and my boyfriend have worked through this together. He's not symptomatic, but he's very supportive of me when I'm having constant outbreaks. However, sex is a big thing for him.

Lately, I've been having back to back outbreaks as well as severe UTIs. He always makes comments about his balls hurt or he's sexually deprived and he's so ill because he hasn't had sex. Unfortunately, I can't help it because I cannot have sex. It hurts to urinate when I'm having an outbreak. So I definitely can't have sex. I try to talk to him about it and he tells me that I can't help it, but it does nothing. Like I said previously, he makes me the happiest that I've ever been treats me so good, but this is truly driving a wedge between us. How do I navigate someone who needs sex and someone who has outbreaks and on a daily antibiotic

and can't have sex when the outbreaks occur? This happens about every two months for the past year for us and I feel helpless. First of all, fuck your boyfriend's ex-wife and your boyfriend for making the comments he makes because if it weren't for those two, you wouldn't be in the scenario you're in. That's thought number one.

Thought number two, she's handling this like a fucking champ because I, oh my God, cannot even, I can't say the things that would occur if this happened to me. I would get kicked off the podcast if I said the things that would occur if this happened to me. 1000%. And third, your boyfriend, I'm questioning his level of intelligence because if he's pressuring you to have sex during an outbreak, but you're telling me that he doesn't like get outbreaks, then he's asking for one. What does that mean?

Like if he already has it, but he's not symptomatic, does that mean that he'll just always not be symptomatic or he can become symptomatic if he had sex with her while she was having an outbreak? I believe that once you have that situation, you can become symptomatic at any time because that virus lives in you. So I think that that could happen at any time, but also, why are you trying to make that more likely? I'm so sorry to the listener that wrote this in.

I am so sorry. I feel so bad for her. I also feel bad for him that he was working out of town and that their marriage ended because of her cheating on him seven different times. The fact that she knew about it, didn't tell him about it because he was not symptomatic. He started sleeping with other people. That to me is just foul. I initially felt bad until like, until you read the bottom part of that where,

you know, he's making these comments and it's driving a wedge and yada, yada, like you're lucky that you have someone that even wants to stay with you. That to me. Like I get that the situation isn't his fault. Like the initial situation. This secondary situation, 1000% your fault. You're not going to get sick because you didn't get, you didn't have sex. Your balls don't hurt.

I can't. I mean, I think at that point, if your balls are hurting like that, then there needs to be a conversation about why you need to jack off and call it a day and don't make her feel bad for the situation that ultimately wasn't really like your fault, but your fault. I, oh my God, like I don't even, that's, I feel, I can't, I feel awful. Um, I also wanted to ask you a question on another note while we're talking about health related things. Have you ever watched the show on peacock called Dr. Death?

No, what is that? Okay, so apparently like a long time ago, there was this doctor who was like doing like crazy things that he shouldn't have been doing to patients. That was causing serious, serious health complications and even he was killing some of them during operations and whatnot. Yeah, it's pretty crazy. So they're doing a TV series on it, basically like a dramatization of events.

So I started watching it over the weekend. I'm only a couple episodes in, it is the craziest shit I've ever seen in my life. And they officially said they're doing a season two of it. So I just need to know if you're gonna watch it over the holidays, because someone has to talk about it with me, because I don't know anyone else that's watching it. Okay, so I'm about to text Kale as soon as we get off this recording and tell her that we are both watching it.

So whenever we come back from holiday, we can discuss all of this because that is something that I feel like would be up both of our alleys. And you said season two is coming season. Yeah, season two is confirmed. So it's coming and I'm super pumped about it. I believe I read that Mandy Moore is actually going to be in season two and I like her as an actress. Oh, really? Yeah. God, I love Mandy Moore. What's your favorite movie with Mandy Moore? Mind to walk to her.

Oh, yeah. Classic. A walk to remember. Rip your heart out television series. God, why am I blanking? This is us, yeah, this is like, yeah, I can't. Rip your heart out. Yeah. Yes, yes, yes, yes.

I love a walk to remember, I love this is us. Can we tell you a classic that Trent and I watched last night? Yeah. Misty Altfire. Oh my God, Kale's kids love Misty Altfire. I love it too, it's one of my favorite movies My dad loved it. I am a huge fan. So I told you about having mist out fire on VHS when I was a little girl and

Kyle and I Literally watched it so many times and rolled it back so many times that we broke the VHS watched it so many times and rolled it back so many times that we broke the VHS. So my papa went to Blockbuster and was able to purchase Missed Outfire from Blockbuster. So we got another VHS. I will tell you, watching Missed Outfire as a child with parents going through a divorce and then watching it as an adult after you've gone through a divorce hits so differently. I can't, that makes sense to me,

but I couldn't even imagine. I watched it last night and I was like, wow, this is like really freaking sad. And every part of this movie was so well thought out because it's all of the emotions that you would feel as a child, but all the emotions that you feel as parents. That makes so much sense.

I also have two funny things that I saw in our Facebook group, because our Facebook group is the best ever that I have to tell you. Okay, what is it? Okay, so one of our resident men, listeners, posted in there and said, my pregnant wife just cried on the way home from Walmart because they had no little Debbie Christmas tree cakes

Ladies what some everyday occurrences that had you emotional during pregnancy. So one I need to know what yours was Okay, so I don't know if you'll have quick trips around you but they're gas stations and quick trip has a Factory that they make all of their like donuts and stuff in. Okay. And they're exclusive to Quicktrip. It's like their factory. And they deliver them at certain times to different stores. Will and I lived by a Quicktrip,

maybe like a mile from our house whenever I was pregnant. And my craving was fresh Quickt, just plain clays donuts. I would absolutely cry if he came home and did not have one of those donuts because I craved it so much and I wanted it just so much. I would call the quick trip and be like, Hey, were your donuts delivered yet? Oh my God. You were stalking them. I was quite honestly stalking quick trip and they probably got so sick and tired of hearing me call them. A lot of times they would tell me, yeah, the truck has delivered it, but they're not unpacked

and I'd be like, so when are you unpacking them? Oh my God. You were like, I need it right now. I need it. We were fiending. Listen, the little Debbie Christmas tree right now. I need it. Ah, we were fiending. Listen, the little Debbie Christmas tree cakes, though, I did not. I did not have that craving because I don't like anything like jelly or like cream filled. So I'm not like big on little Debbie.

No one annihilate me for that. But those things are so hard to find during Christmas. Those things are so hard to find during Christmas. Did I tell you about the time that it was like the year after COVID or it might have been like this same year that the kids went back to school during COVID and everything had to be individually packaged wrapped. So all of the classrooms at the elementary school asked for little Debbie Christmas tree cakes.

They were so hard to find. I chased a little Debbie truck down in my area, waited for him to stop and was like, sir, I know that I probably look like a stalker and I am not stalking you, but I am stalking your truck because I need as many boxes of the little Debbie Christmas tree cakes that I can get and I provided them for, I believe it was Jackson's kindergarten. It was his kindergarten year and I provided it for the entire hallway. Oh my god. So did he give them to you straight off the truck or you just like followed him to

where he was going? No, I was able to get them straight off of the truck. Oh, you didn't have to pay for them. No, I paid for them. I don't know if he paid anybody for them, but like I paid him for them. Oh my God. I mean, genius idea. I don't know.

A literal genius idea. So I was, I actually, I need to ask Kale, like what she's cried about from some pregnancies. So I was like reading. Cry about the most random shit, honestly. So I was reading from some pregnancies. So I was like reading the most random shit. Honestly. So I was reading from some of the comments of people like leaving like their situations. So I have kind of pulled a couple that were hilarious. I was eight and a half months pregnant, knocked a gallon of milk out of the fridge and exploded all over my

tile floor. I legit threw a temper tantrum because not only did I now have no milk for dinner, I had to clean up a huge mess severely pregnant. So I legit cried over spilled milk. That doesn't surprise me. I feel like while pregnant, you are the most clumsiest in your entire life. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that I think your brain shrinks while you're pregnant or something. I don't have any idea, but I can tell you the most things that I've ever broken in my entire life was while pregnant. This person said when I was very this is me when I was very pregnant with my daughter I cried because I didn't think my dog liked me anymore. That'll be my god

That'll literally be me. That would be the least of my concern I'm trying that eight months pregnant because my husband left the toilet seat up and I sat in the bowl I'd cry now and I'm not pregnant. I would cry so hard. Are you kidding? Thank God I don't have a husband. Right? That's a little PSA for Trent. Close the seat. When we were out in a restaurant, my husband finished his meal before me

and I bawled in the restaurant because I felt like he was rushing me and he was just sitting on his phone. That's like me now. I get really self-conscious if like Cory's done eating and I'm not and I'm like, no, we have to just leave now. No, no, no, no, no, because you decided to shovel and I decided to eat. It'll impact my time. That's not my problem. No.

I cried because my husband said, do you need a tissue the wrong way to me after I had a sneeze like a duck? Like how many ways could you say do you need a tissue? Okay, I will tell you, I am not sensitive about stuff like that. Like I have never been sensitive about anything like that. If you want to be a smart ass to me,

if I've sneezed 25 times and you say, go ahead and shut the fuck up. I don't care. He'll be like, he'll give me like literally two bless views. I think he's like, you're not getting anymore. And I could have like 12 more seizes. And I'm like, thanks, you're nice. Then I saw this other thing. This is the second thing that I saw that had me dying laughing. Okay. Because again, our Facebook group was so funny. So somebody posts, what's the most stupid fact if your partner has insisted is true

and you've had to prove them wrong? Mine was he was adamant that Denzel Washington and Missy Elliott were married. Wait, what? That never happened. So her partner insisted that Denzel Washington and Missy Elliott were married. And I'm like, that never occurred. So it got me thinking of like, shit that has happened with Corey and I and like things that have gone down with like us that like I've been adamant about and been wrong or

he's been adamant about and been wrong. So that I was cracking up laughing. So pulled some of these and someone said, my husband thought that you treat a burn with warm water. He even argued this with his mom who is an EMT. I feel like a lot of people think this actually my sister one time was a burn victim from ramen noodles when my grandparents were watching us and my nanny tried to put warm water on her. And I was like, no, we immediately need to go to children's healthcare, the fuck are you doing?

I definitely, Corey swears you run it under warm, not cold. I immediately shove my whatever in the coldest area that I can put it in. Someone said that you needed a passport to fly from Missouri to Vegas. Okay. I can't really talk shit on this person because one time when I was still filming for Chris Lee knows best, I was panicking because we were going to Hawaii and I didn't have a passport.

I did this to kill with Hawaii. And I was like, you guys, like I can't I can't fly to Hawaii. And they're like, why? Like, well, Jackson, I don't have passports. That was when I think they got that idea to do the scene. If you guys have ever watched Chris Lee knows best or Hawaii episode where my parents renewed their vows. They told my sister and I that we could go up on top of this mountain and you could see the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean from the same view. And I believe them.

I did the same thing with Kale because she's always losing shit. So she was kept talking to me about how she was like she couldn't find her passports or something. She had, she literally was leaving the next day. But I believe it was Hawaii or it was Puerto Rico. I can't remember which neither one of which you need a passport to go to. And I was like, Oh my God, you we got to cancel all your fights. Like once again, like fucked up, you can't go. Well, and she's like, Kristen, fucked up, you can't go. Well, and she's like, Kristen, it's part of the United States. Okay, fine. Which geography, I tell everybody, you know it, Kayle Moses, I say it to everybody, geography is I will never claim to be good at anything geographical and any of that stuff not going to happen. Have no clue. You could tell me you live in like, I don't know

for Idaho. I don't know where Idaho is on the map. Listen, honey, I went to summer school two different times in high school over fucking history. So and geography. So history, I'm fine. Geography is a no. Like I can't. I just can't do it. And we got into a whole debate with Cori's family We were cracking up laughing trying to identify where like what was a continent? What was a country? It was a shit show so I was dying laughing This one's gonna have you erupting someone said towels don't get dirty because you only use them to dry off your clean body liar

It's like Lindsey Chrisley does not agree. No. In fact, I used to not like reuse towels ever. They used to be like a one time use and wash. I've gotten a little bit better about that. Depending if it's like a super hot girl shower and the towel's getting like really, really wet, I will still wash it. If it's not, and I'm just getting it and washing my body in my face,

I'll use it like a couple times, like maybe like two times. You're better than me. I won't do more than one time. I was raised, you use a towel once, and that's it. Yeah, I was raised like that too. And then my parents wanted a bitch about laundry. It's like, first of all, you made this problem. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, but I'm not, I'm not a believer that the towel is still clean. Like mine. No, it's not. Harbour's bacteria. My nanny says that you can use a towel a couple of times and she and Grayson get in fights about this all the time because he never uses a towel to my knowledge. And she's like, you don't have to wash a towel every time you use it because when you get out, your ass should be clean.

So there should be no reason that you need to rewash your towel every time. If it's going on my pits and bits, I don't care if it's clean or not, like it needs to be washed. Listen, there's a whole thing that just that has just been coming out about face towels. You need to only use them one time because we're gonna, we're gonna follow the bouncing ball here. Okay. You use a towel once and you hang it where?

In the bathroom. Right. What else do you do in the bathroom? Shit, brush your teeth. Yes. The amount of shit particles and bacteria that are found on toothbrushes and anything in the bathroom, because when you flush the toilet, a lot of stuff goes airborne.

Okay, but what about the people who have a toilet that's separate from the sink and shower area that has a door? I think, okay, so I think you might be fine because if you're doing it with the door closed and flushing with the door closed, then you're fine. I don't go to the bathroom with the door closed ever. Yeah. So I was going to say, I know plenty of people that have the door wide open. So it defeats the whole purpose. Yep. So you

are drying your clean body with a shit towel. I don't I said what I said. Okay, next. Um, and then my final one had this all had me laughing because I remembered back to this one time when my dad and I were watching football and Peyton Manning was playing and I was like, oh yeah, like that's Eli's brother. And my dad's like, no, it's not. And I was like, Eli Manning and Peyton Manning are brothers. And my dad's like, no, they're not. Got into a whole argument until I pulled the shit up on Google.

I didn't even have a cell phone at that time. I had to get his little Acer laptop. Acer. On the computer. And he never was like, you're right. He was just like, mm, like, you know, they do the dad grunt. The mm. Oh, it's always like they try to find a loophole about why they were like kind of

right. Uh huh. Yep. And it's like, no, you were just flat out wrong. Yeah. So I was just like, great, whatever. So that had me cracking up. That whole thread is so funny. So if you're in a Facebook group, go read them. If you're not, go get in the Facebook group because I don't know what you're doing. Oh my God. Okay. And then I have some foul plays I brought for you. Oh, great. Love it. You should be scared. Okay. Because I was terrified Love it. You should be scared because I was terrified. I'm 33 now, but when I was 21, I was living with my parents. I had these three instances with my boyfriend at the time.

Let's call him Adam. That became core memories. One, driving home from a day of shopping with Adam in the car, I get a call from my mom. She was screeching because when she went to clean out the bin in the guest room bathroom, my boyfriend's condom, still liquid filled and untied, flopped out onto her hand and the contents emptied into her hands. I'm a big believer that if you are 21 and you're still living in your parents' house,

which is perfectly fine, whatever, your parents should not be cleaning the bathroom that you are using. No, it's a recipe for literal disaster for this exact reason, among others. That's all I'm going to say on that. Continue about Adam. Adam was cringing and dying in the car too afraid to speak. I apologize, hung up and burst out laughing because how embarrassing for us both. He was too afraid to show up at my house for a few weeks.

I would have also been too afraid to show up at the house for a few weeks. I'm also just like you not speaking, they obviously know it's yours or else they're going to think some things about their daughter and that's not going to be great. Two, second time, after having sex in the spare guest room, the only double bed that's not my parents, my dad passed me on the stairs and asked if in the future I could make sure I remove the pillow from behind the headboard. Cringe isn't even the word. Oh, wow. I would be...

What I'm thinking... So mortified. Mortified. Is my dad said something? No, no, no. What I'm thinking is based off of the two instances that we've heard so far is they should just vacate the premises of these parents home and just have sex at other places. Like you know, if you're killed, then all parking lots. There's always cars, there's you know, we just make it work.

I mean, if you're adventurous, you go to a changing room, I don't know. Finally, this is time number three, after another quickie, but this time in my room, while my parents were out, my mom came back early. We were at this point banned from having sex in the house. Don't blame them really after all that. My mom comes back into the house and into the sitting room to watch TV. Adam and I freak out a little

and no show freak if we're caught. So we slipped on the stairs into the other sitting room and out through the window. We have to mash our way through the hedges to escape out the driveway. We wait about 10 minutes and come back inside pretending we've been on a walk to find my mom sitting in the same place as before.

Only my sister looks at me bewildered. She said my mom in that 10 minutes suddenly leapt up and started yelling our names saying she knew we were in the house hiding She looked in all the rooms and wardrobes looking for us My sister had an a clue as to how we got out because she knew we were there when my mom came in and was waiting for us To be caught while she settled down and watch TV again to us It looked like she hadn't moved but right after we escaped there was evidently a mini-swat rate in the house looking for us Don't have sex at your parents house, It's just a bad idea across the board.

You know what? Having sex at your parents' house is just very risky. Not saying that three out of five of us haven't. Just saying that the risk is definitely, is not worth any reward. No, no, no, no, no. Like there is no benefit of getting caught. No.

Like you will never live it down. It's just something that you and your parent should not have to cross paths on. Ever. Ever at the point that you are grown. This is three times too many and Todd Chrisley's house to get called. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Because you're not going to live to be able to do it a second time. And then I have another one for you. Sans Adam. So the other day I cleaned out my armoire and I guess while doing so my nine year old sparked interest in this cabinet. A few hours

later I heard him in my room so I went to go see what he was doing. When I walked in, my mouth hit the floor. He was standing there with my vibrator on high mode, rubbing it all over his face, while saying, the vibrations feel so good on my face. I asked him where he found that, and he had a confused look on his face, probably because I was in full panic mode. He said he found it in a quote, drippy bag, drippy equals cool in teen lingo, which was a silk bag that I kept it in. He asked me what it was and what it was used for. Any normal person would have come up with something clever. My weird self said, it's the battery that goes in my camcorder. Who the hell says that? And when's the last time somebody used a camcorder? So then I had to explain what a camcorder was while grabbing the vibrator and trying to put it away

quickly in my armoire. The damn thing would not shut off and kept doing all the different patterns of vibrations. While I was sweating and chatting about camcorders, he said, wow, it has different settings. Still struggling in the armoire, I finally decided to rip the back off and strip out the batteries, LOL. Later, when my husband came home, my son told him that they make cool batteries for camcorders and gave him a lesson on what they are. I hope you all enjoyed my embarrassing mom story. One day, I will have to break the news to the poor guy that camcorders don't have cool batteries. Could you imagine having to like, seeing that one to then trying to explain it like as they're an adult, like anyone bears your kids or whatever

and you're like, Hey, remember that time you were rubbing my vibrator all over your face? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. And here's the thing, I need to know other moms or like the two dads that listen to this. Do you not have a rule that like your kids can't go through your personal space in your bedroom? Or is that just like not a rule in every household? Because Jackson knows like you don't go through my bathroom drawers, you don't go through my drawers and my bedroom, you don't go through my drawers

and my closet. I definitely't go through my drawers and my closet. I definitely was raised like that, 1000%. And I remember like going through a snooping phase. And my heart would pound in my ears when I would like creep into my parents' bedroom. And it was like dead quiet. And I always thought somebody was like about to be around the corner, even though they weren't even home.

It was I would just get so creeped out I never even got to snoop and that was like as a kid but then when I got older I'll never forget my mom had to have heart surgery and she asked me to get something that was in her nightstand drawer and I was like I would definitely you need to tell me what's in there first because like I don't want to open it and have any surprises. Like I just don't want to do it. Are we sure we can't just like get this paperwork from somewhere else? That's not new drawer. Like I just don't, I don't want to go in anyone's drawers ever because I don't know what I'm

going to find. Like I am not a snooper. I don't go through anybody's stuff. I have never been that way. But there are some people in life that are like super snoopy. And it's just like the curiosity kills them. They're not even looking for something specific. They just want to know what it is in there.
