(1:05) Then in Doomscroll of the Week, Kylie is inspired by a TikTok to revisit her most germaphobic behaviors, including her usual routine in public bathrooms with her children and Jason’s personal peanut butter jar (3:20). She also can relate to the growing problem that is “toddler run restaurants” being out of every dish (5:55). Also, Kylie reacts to a new trend called “Mom Face” where women who aren’t moms yet are practicing the stern face you make when your kids say something out of pocket (8:20). Plus, Kylie brings back “Ask Me *Some* Things” and answers a Real One’s question about what it’s really like cooking for toddlers… spoiler alert: it’s not great! (10:50) After that, Kylie is joined by Emmy Award winning talk show host and fellow Birds fan Kelly Ripa (14:53)! Kylie and Kelly talk about what it’s like raising young children and working, how old Kylie feels now that all of Kelly’s kids have graduated college and debunking the myth that you can’t get pregnant if you’re breastfeeding (17:50)! Kylie also asks Kelly what it’s like working with her husband Mark side by side every morning and if she has any advice for the next time she and Jason end up working on something together (22:45). Then, since Kylie did this very podcast two days after giving birth to Finn, she asks Kelly what it was like calling into Live! the same day she gave birth to her daughter Lola (30:27). Kelly also gives Kylie some advice when it comes to raising kids in the public eye (33:00). Kelly and Kylie also talk some more about motherhood, specifically the most “humbling” things their kids have ever said to them which turns into a tangent about Kylie recently having to explain the word “crotch” to her inquisitive children (39:10) Lastly, Kylie asks Kelly about her podcast “Let’s Talk Off Camera” specifically the new call-in episodes where listeners get to call in and ask Kelly all sorts of questions.

Not going to lie, Wyatt was in the room this morning when I was adjusting my bra.
She said, what are you doing?
I said, putting my boobs back.
And she said, back where?
And I said, back where they used to be?
Let's get this podcast started.
Welcome back to Not Gonna Lie, a Wave Original brought to you by Visible, Live in the Know.
I'm your host, Kylie Kelsey.
her in the philosophy of fuck around and find out. I call my mom at least twice a day. And no,
for everyone asking, we still have not adopted a kitten. I think we're getting warmer,
though. I do. Uh, don't tell Jason. Nobody tell Jason. Seriously. Don't tell him because you're
going to ruin it. Coming up on today's episode, I've got a loaded doomscroll of the week
featuring a special appearance from my germophobia. And after that, you're going to hear my
incredible conversation with the face of daytime television. She's been making your morning
for decades on her show live.
Plus, she's a fellow birds fan,
and of course, I have no business speaking to her.
Kelly Rippa is coming up.
But before we do all of that,
we're over halfway through the first NGL season here,
so I thought it'd be a good time to check in with the real ones
and respond to some of your most popular feedback
from our comments section.
Oh, no.
Queen Emma told me not to read these ahead of time
so that we could all react to them in real time.
So, let's see.
if that works. First up from Chrissy 727. Forty-five minutes wasn't long enough. Crying emoji.
I'm pretty sure that's Chrissy 727 is Queen Emma's burner account. Next comment, Faith Mars on Spotify
said, this could have been three hours long and I would have been fine with it. That episode flew by.
I can't wait to see what the next comment is, Queen Emma.
Wow. Is there a theme from Natty F. Baby? Kylie, this is amazing with multiple G's. But damn you for the 45-minute rule,
L-O-L, we need more. Emma, how many burner accounts are you going to create? This is getting embarrassing.
Note from the desk of Queen Emma. Hey, girl. How are you feeling about the 45-minute rule? Seems like the real ones want more NGL.
Chika, thoughts? Something so crisp.
sounding about a cool 60. No? Okay. I'll text you some picks of turtles later. Bye, girl.
I can't wait for the turtle pictures, but also no. Okay, here's the deal. If you want more than
45 minutes, you're going to need to go to more shit Monday on our YouTube channel and get those
extra minutes. Okay. That's why we do it. I don't want to deprive you of the whole
interview. I just want to make sure that you can consume it in a timely manner. And that was our
first official 45-minute rule check-in, sponsored by Queen Emma. Oh, God. Moving on, I've been
doom scrolling on the beach this summer, and there's a few clips that I immediately needed to share
with the real ones, starting off with this TikTok that really ignited the germaphobe in my soul.
Queen Emma roll the clip.
Me, when anybody sneezes around me because I'm a germaphobe,
she promptly put her lid back on and tried to cover up her food
because the suggestion was that someone had sneezed near her.
Oh my gosh.
I thought of it.
I have so many germophobia behaviors.
Our kids know that when we leave the house, when we come back, we're washing our hands.
Every time we come back in the house, we're washing our hands.
when people sneeze around my food, ew.
Also cups like glasses without anything over the top and then kids.
I also have shared that my husband has his own jar of peanut butter.
It literally says Jason on the top of the lid because he does sometimes dip the jelly knife
into the peanut butter and the reason I have a problem with that is because jelly goes in the
fridge and peanut butter doesn't so if you put jelly in your peanut butter then the jelly isn't in the
fridge where the jelly is supposed to be ew you get what I'm saying it's gross uh bathrooms
someone actually giggled at me once because they heard the narration of me in a stall with all three
of my young children, my tactic in a public restroom is hands on your head. And you will hear me
say it at least 30 times. For the exact reason you think, I don't know how often they clean that
bathroom. You know what goes on in bathrooms. And there's no lids to the toilets in public
restrooms. So every time the toilet flushes,
I can't. Let's move on before I really start to crash out.
Let's keep it scrolling because Danielle's Smelly on TikTok is asking a very important question about toddler-run restaurants.
Queen Emma, can you roll that clip, please?
Why is it a universally known thing that a toddler-run restaurant is out of everything that you want?
I'll have a pizza. Sorry, we don't have that.
Okay, I'll have a burger. Sorry, we don't have that either.
Do you have some mac and cheese?
No. What does your restaurant have?
Okay. Danielle, we're living parallel lives, lady, because here's the deal.
Last week, right upstairs, there was a pancake house.
They were out of motherfucking pancakes.
The pancake house was out of pancakes.
What?
two weeks ago we were handed menus all the adults in the room were handed menus the menu had
approximately six things on it okay it's a set game this is a game okay with a million pieces by
the way okay i said perfect i'll take the salmon we don't have that i said okay i get it popular
dish, I'll take the steak.
Don't have that.
And it's in that moment that you realize that you are with your reaction, teaching your child
how they should react to this actual situation happening in a real restaurant, right?
Things run out.
But at the same time, you kind of want to.
look at them and be like, bring me, bring me anything. Bring me anything because now I'm,
I'm oh for two and I'm feeling a little discouraged about this menu situation. Christian also
commented and said, and the price is $5 for ice cream, $100 for a burger. We are currently
in the realm of made up numbers. I can't even remember because I was at a pancake house and I was
so thrown off by the fact that there were no pancakes. I don't even remember. I don't even remember.
what I got, but what I do remember is that it was 50-11. I don't know if that was $50.11.
I don't know if it was 50-11 period. I don't know how much I paid, but I counted the money and I
handed it over. So glad we're all experiencing the same kid restaurants. And last thing on this
week's doom scroll, there's a trend I saw last night where women who aren't moms yet are practicing
their best mom face for the future, with the help of the scene from Bluey. Now, if you don't know
what a mom face is, Queen Emma, can you show them, please?
Sorry. Are you okay? Yeah, I'm okay. Good. Now help me tidy this up.
Aw, why do I have to help? Oh, okay. Yeah. Okay, so this face, this face is, um,
um, everybody has it. You have it. Everyone has it. You have it. You have it. You have it.
deep in your soul. And sometimes you just got to hit it because it says all that you need it
to say. And that is, excuse me? That's it. That's what the face says. There's no actual words.
You're not going to say anything. If you say something, it's not the face. The face is what you're
saying. I don't know that I am the master of mom face, but I will tell you who is. Well, at least,
my mother, that she can look at my children and they immediately have a moment of,
you know what, I did want to clean up this mess. So I don't know if I have yet mastered it,
but we could try, Queen Emma. So, hey, girl. I feel like you're about to say something.
You still feeling like 45 minutes a day or? There it is.
I break this out when my kids say something out of pocket.
It's that simple.
Most of the time, it's their reaction to something I've said.
Hey, ladies, let's clean up our toys.
Not right now.
You said what now?
And then we go down the path of like, hey, I'm not quite sure who you were talking to.
but I can guarantee it wasn't me.
That's it for Doomscroll the Week.
Moving on to Ask me some things.
Ask me some things because Ask Me Anything was a little too open-ended.
You crazies?
First up from Andrea on TikTok,
what does cooking look like in your house?
Who cooks?
Is it always kids' food like mac and cheese?
Are the girls picky eaters?
We have one picky eater.
and one particular eater and one eats anything. Literally, we'll try anything. It's delightful.
Cooking in our house is done by me. Jason didn't really grow up cooking. He has cooked rarely. He does a great job when he does it. He just, it's, I actually enjoy.
it. So I like doing it and I'm going to keep doing it, but hopefully not in the way we currently
do it, which is short order cook style. Pasta is the most obvious example of how I have to
differentiate plates. When I make pasta, I will let one person pick the shape. I only let them pick
from shapes that I know their sisters will eat. First of all, I'm very confused about the fact that
certain pasta shapes are an absolute hard pass for each child. Then we end up with Ellie is
butter and cheese, Benny is sauce and cheese, and Wyatt is just sauce. And I do it. I would say that
feeding your children is one of the most underrated difficult parts of parenting. It's difficult because
before I had children, I could do girl dinner.
I could slice off a few slices of cheese.
I could eat a handful of Tostito's chips.
I could eat an apple with peanut butter,
and that could constitute my dinner.
But that's not how the world works anymore.
And now we have to eat three meals.
is a day. And the decision making is overwhelming. I will tell you that. The decision making and also the
need for being prepared. It's just, it's so much. It's so much. It takes up so much in my brain.
That does it for ask me some things. Real ones, keep asking me some things. Send me your questions
at NGL with Kylie or share them on our subreddit page. We have one of those.
I'm told.
Kelly Rippa is coming up right after this.

details. She is the seven-time Emmy Award-winning host of her hit morning show
live with Kelly and Mark. She's also an executive producer and best-selling author. Plus,
she's a fellow mother and podcaster. And now she's officially not going to lie. Kelly Rippa,
welcome to the show. Thank you. That was so good. Thank you. I'm so proud of you.
I have watched you for a very long time. We have always been an ABC. Before you were born.
Well, we've always been an ABC family. So we would do the six ABC morning news. There goes that action news van again. And then we would watch Good Morning America and then right on to you. Specifically when I went to community college right after high school and I was nannying to save money to go to school full time. And when I would nanny me and the little boy I nanny for I called him Nug. Me and the Nugget would watch every morning you and Regis. That makes me feel good.
It was, so when we were talking about your kids leading up to doing this show, I knew about it
had a, well, I just had a panic because Queen Emma, yeah, Queen Emma told me that they are all out in the
adult world and I went into a full panic of, oh no, wow, it's been a minute.
So you're in it right now, like you are in it.
And I remember when Mark and I were in it because I was like you, I was still doing the same
job I have now.
And I understand being a Channel 6 family because being from South Jersey, I don't think people
really understand the Delaware Valley and how that is a stronghold for Channel 6.
Like ABC, people turn on ABC and they leave it on all day.
Yes.
And so, and I've spent my entire career like first with the soap and then with Regis and
anything else I've done has been through the Disney company.
So when I was in it with my three little kids, I felt like, and it's been said so many times,
the days are long, but the years are short, but it cannot be said enough.
You are so in it right now, but I'm here to tell you that you are going to remember this
conversation, you're going to blink, and they're going to be adults.
And it is sickening and exciting all at the same time.
It's already happening.
The other day I teared up looking at our five-year-old because she is a string bean.
And she, I had just redone.
It's always when I redo their hair.
And they turn and look at you and you're like, oh, you're not the little ragamuffin anymore.
You're like a whole human being with thoughts and feelings and opinions and you share them,
whether we like it or not.
Girls will say anything at all times.
It's, I mean, we're now four against mom and dad.
So we are in it, but I looked at our five-year-old and I teared up a little bit because it was that moment of like, oh, my gosh, you're old.
But at least your husband understands like zone defense.
Oh, yeah.
And you understand zone defense.
Yes.
And when Mark said to me the first time and the first time we traveled,
with Joaquin who was two weeks old
because by that point like I said
the more kids you have
you just sort of you force them
into just adjusting
there are no newborns past the first newborn
there's the first newborn and then the additional kids
and then you just keep going
and Mark said to me
we've gone from man to man to zone defense
and I said to him speak English
I don't know what that means
but you understand that
yes we've been in zone coverage
now for uh we've been in zone coverage for two years like standard but anytime he left the house
we've been in that for four years so right um yeah it really is that first one i was still remember
our first was a past fire child i would make sure i got it it would be sanitized i had six on deck
in the in the diaper bag the diaper bag was neatly packed right the second one i had like a diaper
shoved in my back pocket and a pack of wipes like under my armpit and I was like we're going we're
going we're ready and then if it falls the if the binky yeah you do want chupa chubes the chupichub
falls to the floor and you pick it up and you're like yeah sometimes if there's stuff on it you like
suck off the stuff and then shove it in yes but that's how you that's how you parent subsequent children
after the first the first one is the first child is the scene from the lion king that's it you know you're
holding the child up. The grandparents are davening. Now, how big of an age gap is Michael and Lola?
So Michael and Lola, we have like, we call it the lack of rhythm method. That's what we used in our
family. So Michael and Lola are four years apart. Okay. And Lola and Waukeen are 16 months apart.
Yeah. So there, we got that right. We really spread it out exactly right. Very even.
But I didn't even know I was pregnant with Joaquin in my own defense. Because I had just had Lola.
for about...
So you were, what, seven months postpartum when you got pregnant?
And I was exclusively nursing, and I got the flu, or what I thought was the flu.
And they had just come out with a drug called Tamiflu.
It was for people who had the bad flu, and I was like, I have the bad flu.
I have a flu that is so bad.
And the doctor said, could you be pregnant?
And I was like, no, I just...
Look, I just had a baby.
Look at it.
It's right here.
he's right here and he goes listen to prescribe this i have to have a clean a clear pregnancy test
so i was like fine and he was like basically immediately sure and the line popped up immediately
it was like you you like you like breathe on it and it was like you are yeah exactly yes and i was
like how how is this possible uh-huh because back in the day back in the day when you were at a nanny
nugget. When you were nannying nug, they used to tell us you, if you're exclusively nursing,
you can't get pregnant. Yes. Which, as it turns out, a load of shit. It's a load of shit,
ladies. It's a bunch of bullshit. Do not fall for it. That is a lie that people tell you.
Yes. I will say I got pregnant with our second the month that I stopped breastfeeding.
promptly they are 17 months apart so yes there it is but a lot of people end up with that
tight age gap because they listen to the experts they trust their grandmother yes yes yeah the leading
research now says no no just to be clear don't trust it is this my camera you will get you will
get pregnant.
As someone who occasionally works with their husband, I've been very excited to flush out this
idea with you.
How has it been working with your husband side by side every morning?
So it's what's interesting, and I will say this, we started out our careers together many
years ago, 30 years ago, more than 30 years ago, 35 years ago, working together on a soap opera.
So we were used to working together.
And over the years, we had worked together a lot.
And Mark, I think by the time he took over co-hosting permanently, had co-hosted with me
at least 100 times.
Like he was always filling in the last minute.
COVID year, he was constantly filling in.
Like, he was just always there.
So he made sense to take over.
We just had to make it make sense for him.
He was not really on board with hosting.
He's like, no, it's fun to do once in a while.
Sure.
Because it's only once in a while.
But then, you know, I sort of said, it's so great.
It's so much easier than doing a soap.
It's such a finite amount of time.
And you can still go off and have a full life.
And so I think that has made it really easy.
Having said that when we go off, when we go our separate ways after that morning taping,
we don't see each other again until dinner.
Like, we need some separation.
We need some mystery between us.
Yes.
You have to have something to talk about at the dinner table.
Yeah, I don't know where he goes or what he does.
I have no idea.
And he doesn't even know I'm doing this.
I'm just going to let him find out about this in real time.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
It's exciting.
Make him download it.
Make him support the cause.
That's it.
And the best thing about hosting.
a talk show together is people are like, you guys, what happens? Like, aren't you worried about
if you have an argument and then you have to go on the air? And I'm like, we have arguments on
the air. And it's great to have an argument on the air because your audience becomes your
counselors. And they will let you know who is wrong and who is right. Spoiler alert, I'm usually
right. What advice would you give me the next time that Jason?
and I do something for work together.
So I think you have to like really, I mean, I'm going to take it from like what I found
works for me is that I treat him like with the, treat him with the reverence and yet the irreverence
of like almost like a newborn baby.
Like I understand that you need things a certain way because without the consistent,
consistency and the continuity of doing whatever it is that certain way, it makes him nervous
or it makes him, it makes him nervous on edge. So if I can avoid that, I try to avoid anything
that might make him nervous or upset. Does that make sense? Yes, it does. That's easily doable.
So that's doable. I know the triggers. You know the triggers. You put them there. Yes. So
I put those self-destruct buttons right where I left them. Yes. So you leave them.
there when you're working together. There's so much time. Like you have, I can tell, like,
I can tell you guys are at long haulers. We are long haulers. He's very much stuck with me.
Yeah, no. So when I say, you have the rest of your life to really, you know, torture him.
I just think it's so much easier because when you think about working with somebody that you
trust and that you admire, who more so than your husband?
That's true. That's very true.
That is the best part is like when you're married to them, you married them for all the reasons that you love them, right? And some of those are like the work ethic, the dedication, the focus. Like those are, it's fun to watch him. I mean, I've gotten to watch him out on the football field in that capacity. But then to watch him do other things and to get to sometimes do them together. It's it is like I can.
find the joy in it because he knows it is not my cup of tea but he trusts you yes and we're we are
very much i do think we've enjoyed the things that we've gotten to do together even when i'm
volunt told right to be the announcer for a late night show you know you just you just stumble into
that one but when so when you stumble into these things and i have myself stumbled into them yes
Do you, before it happens, do you become very, I can't believe you talked me into this?
Or do you wait until after?
It's over.
Oh, before.
Before.
Yes.
I hit him with like the, we're doing this.
Oh, we're actually doing this.
And then we arrive at the destination where I am then standing in a like a music recording studio.
Suddenly, I'm singing on a Christmas album and I'm like, oh, we're doing this.
On the way there, I said to him, you're actually going to make me go in there.
And he was like, I just really think that this, that you would be great.
And I'm like, you're only saying that to get me in there.
And then we get there and I'm just like, I'm doing this because I love you.
And he's like, I know that.
And then we just, then we do it.
Okay.
So here's what I'm going to tell you.
don't like don't before it happens don't say a word okay save it no word
you then turn that opportunity of being compliant into a luxury travel situation because
I recorded a Christmas album yes that I did not know I was signing up for signing up for
I found this incredible resort in wherever, your choice, dealer's choice, and I booked it for next week.
Oh my gosh. It's going to be amazing. And that way we can recover from the recording session that
really took its toll on me. Did a number on my nerves. Like emotionally took a toll on me.
Doesn't that sound amazing? I fear that he would be so happy about going on vacation.
together, that he would drag me into something else. He'll start dragging you into recording
sessions. He's very, he's very smart like that. He would, he would recognize the cycle and be like,
I'm going to, I'm going to get myself back on this. What can I volunteer Kylie for? Now, as listeners of
NGL know, I recently did an episode of this podcast two days after giving birth to my fourth child.
But like you've said, fourth child is just another child. Throw them in the mix. Child's play. That's it.
I thought it was pretty crazy at the time.
And a bunch of our listeners were like, what are you doing here?
And then I read that you called into your show.
Yeah.
The same day.
The same day that you gave birth.
So it was brilliant timing on Lula's part.
Okay?
Brilliant timing because I went into labor like 14 hours before.
She was born on Father's Day and the nurses came in with a.
Polaroid picture of my husband with his head in the bassinet and he's she's got her finger or
she's got her hand around his finger and they said there's a new woman in your husband's life
and I'm looking at the clock and I'm like theoretically I think I'm going to be able to call it
because they were like if there's any way you can call in that would be great and sure enough
I called in and they said oh she's here and I said
yeah, she's here. She's a girl. She's adorable. You know, but it was so funny that she was such a good
girl that she timed it just right for her to be announced during the show. That was very sweet
of her. Now, what was it like to make that phone call? Were you just, it was just, you were like,
I can swing this because it's the second kid? I think that nurses and the doctors were really
excited because they were like, wait, we're going to be on TV. And I'm like, nobody's going to be
on TV. My voice is going to be on a phone patched through a TV studio. But I think everybody was
sort of excited to, you know, just to know that they were calling into Regis, who was such a
cultural icon in that moment. But it was amazing. And people were just, as you know, if you
are in the public eye in any way, people are very generous and kind. Yes. And, and, and
they really, my kids are, you know, at the time when they were little, they didn't really
understand the attention at all. But having grown up now and knowing that they have people
that actively root for them. And, you know, our oldest son is 28 years old. And he will meet
people that will say, I watch you grow up and I'm so happy for your life and your success.
and it makes him feel really good because, you know, when he was a little kid, he didn't
understand what that meant, but as a fully fleshed out adult, he really gets it.
And he's super appreciative for it.
Not creeped out.
Not creeped out.
But when he was a little kid, he was super creeped out.
But as an adult, he feels very grateful.
That's a good balance, though.
Yeah.
They're a little skeptical when they're young and then a little stranger danger.
It's a good balance, stranger danger.
we sort of were very always matter of fact about it. We never treated it like it was a weird thing or a creepy thing. And we did make the distinction of strangers versus strangers when you're with your parents. Yes. So there was like a very big difference. Like, yes, these are people we don't know, but they're very kind people. You're with mom and dad. You're safe. And because of these very nice people, we get to have very nice experience.
We get to have very nice life.
We are on a nice trip because of these very nice people who watch mom and dad.
That's very nice to think of it as just clean, honest.
Yeah.
And I think they felt gratitude.
And having said that, they also knew not to talk to strangers when they were not with mom and dad.
That is a key point.
The key was like making that distinction.
Yeah.
You are with mom and dad and so you are safe.
That's very good.
I'm going to try and push that.
Now, you've been doing your live show for 24 years now.
25.
This is my 25th year.
25th year.
Do you prefer it being live?
So I can make an argument for both.
Because our editor, shout out to Brad, he is a wizard.
He keeps this going here.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So editors are masterful.
When it's live, it's live and it happens.
But we tend to really screw up royally on the tape shows
because we do a live show and a tape show a day.
So during the tape show, I think to myself,
how did we just do this live?
Live is just an hour and it's done and it's easy.
But when you go into that tape show,
you just somehow buckle down and know you're going to be there a while.
You just know that.
Because your brain...
It's not even our brain.
it's like everybody's brain, the control room's brain, the phone call for our trivia caller,
somehow that gets dropped, the trivia wheel breaks down. The camera, you know, one day we were like
in the middle of, you know, our show like this is like very, our show is much, like, it's very
conversational. However, like intros and things are scripted. Yes. And so we were reading an intro and
all of a sudden just said the word blank.
And I was like, blank.
Says blank everybody.
You know, and I think what would have happened if that was live?
Right.
But that would never happen if we were live.
Right.
I also think the dynamic of the show, like you mentioned, Gellman, even just the references
to him and the camera cutting to him.
And it sort of brings you almost like behind the scenes in a way that makes you feel
like you're like involved and come like it's homey in that way yeah we just had an entire
discussion today with a girl named ashley and she she was in the upper deck and that's why
I keep looking up she was in the upper deck and she had broken up with her boyfriend over
Snapchat using AI and so she's younger than us she's way younger sure she's younger than my children
As soon as I hear Snapchat, I'm like, oh, not my age group.
Yeah, I don't even, no.
I mean, I just.
My niece is text via Snapchat, that is it.
Like, they don't text their friends in a text message.
Right.
In I message.
They use.
How do they save their receipts?
I don't think they do.
Yeah.
As a mother, I have to say.
What is going to go back?
What is going to happen to your children?
So I have decided.
To not let them.
have anything. Yes. Done. I actually believe that we will be doing what I'm calling the kitchen
phone. In other words, there will be one or two extra cell phones besides mom and dad's cell phone
that they can take with them if they have somewhere they're going where there will not be
a parent or if they will need to get a hold of us or if they're at something sports related,
whatever, but that they can take one of those cell phones, that the cell phones are only kept
to the first floor of the house.
So you can still have your friends, have that phone number, they can still call you,
you can still use the phone on the first floor of the house, but they live in the kitchen.
So they're not going to go upstairs, they're not going to the basement, they're going nowhere,
but the first floor, communal living space.
Computers too should stay in like...
Perfect. Add them to the list. They're staying in the kitchen.
I'd love to talk to you a little bit more about motherhood.
I've shared some of the more humbling or unintentionally honest things that my daughters have said to me.
I'm guessing now that your kids are grown, specifically, Lola, because I think girls are unapologetically honest.
Very honest.
But my sons will give her a run for the...
Unfortunately, I've raised three wildly honest people.
I love that.
Yeah, but some days I just want them.
to shut it.
Since they're older, is there anything that they've said to intentionally humble you?
I mean, I think it's all intentionally humbling. I mean, it's all humbling. I'm trying
to think of something recent. I remember, it wasn't too many years ago, we were all on vacation.
So the kids were not quite out of college. They were with us. And I was, we were getting ready to go
to the beach and I was in my bathing suit brushing my teeth. And as I was brushing my teeth,
Lola was standing there and she goes, it's so cute the way your entire body jiggles when you
brush your teeth. Why does it do that? And I go, because of you. You did this to me. And I just
kept brushing. It does fascinate me that they often humble us about things that are directly
a result of them. Of them. Yeah. I didn't understand that when you raise kids, they would say the
most crazy shit to you and you have to like really. I mean, I remember Michael and Lola,
I was giving them a bath at the same time
and Lola was one and Michael was five at the time
and we were visiting Mark on a movie set
and it was in Australia
and I had limited space
and we were staying in this room
and I was like guys getting in the tub together
and I was rinsing Michael's hair
and Lola with her little baby hand reached up
tried to grab his baby penis
and he goes Lola
don't grab my penis it's bad enough
you broke yours off
and I was like
this is wild
kids are geniuses
they say crazy shit
all the time
last week we got in a
a deep hole
of trying to explain
what a crotch was
a crotch yeah
because our girls
could not fathom the fact
that everybody has a crotch
do they want me ma to come over
and explain it to them
Maybe. Because I still don't think we arrived anywhere that they felt confident that they understood the premise of a crotch. I was like, everybody has a crotch. It's this region. Everybody has one. And they were like, well, dad doesn't have a crotch because he has a penis. And I'm like, nope, dad also has a crotch. There's just a penis on his crotch. It contains the penis. That's where it all goes. And they were like, okay, so we don't have a crotch because we have vaginas. Now, mind you, but with a B, B, not a V. I can't help it. We can't get paid.
I refuse to correct it. We're close enough. We had furgina, which is even better. Fergina.
And so then they were like, no, that we have a vagina so we don't have a crotch. And I was like,
nope, nope, vaginas, penises all in the crotch area. And they were like, so who doesn't have a
crotch? I was like, no, that's not possible. Everybody has a crotch. It's actually great. It's
very universal crotch. And they were like, okay. I don't, guys, I don't think dad has.
a crotch. And I was like, um, you know what? Then dad doesn't have a crotch. Today, dad doesn't have a crotch.
Dad is crotch free. Dad's crotchless. Uh, yeah. Poor dad. I know. He doesn't even have a
crotch. Uh, well, in addition to your morning show, I mentioned it earlier. You also have a
podcast called Let's Talk Off Camera. Yep. I love this premise. I heard you also recently expanded
your show. Yeah, so we're doing, we're doing these crazy because people cannot
stomach me unless I'm live. So we're doing.
live call-in episodes, which is really old. No, it's really like old school radio like you practiced
in, like you understand this world. And I really enjoyed. Initially, I thought I was going to hate it
because I seemed oddly nervous about talking to people live when I cannot see them. But it's
kind of really seamless. We usually pick a topic, you know, whether it's like underage drinking
or spring break trips gone awry or whatever's happening in our lives or our guest lives,
that's what we focus on.
And then people call in.
And it's on Radio Andy, which is, you know, what better place to have anything but on Radio Andy.
That's awesome.
Now, what's been the most ridiculous question so far that you've been asked?
That I've been asked?
Oh, gosh, there's a lot.
I mean, people will ask me things like, how do you keep the spark alive in your marriage?
And I'm like, I don't know what that means.
I've been a spark alive.
The spark, spark, you know, because I think people think that you're going to be in like
hot to trot love for the rest of your life.
Like that new love, you know, the endorphine, the honeymoon thing.
Yes.
And we've been married for almost 30 years.
so I don't like I am not sure what that means but but what what I always say is you have to really
like each other yep and you have to love and respect each other like you have to have a like
and a love and a respect for each other and all the other stuff if you're like friends like that
if you're tight like that then all the other stuff sort of falls into place works out and you'll
still fucking fight like I want to be perfectly clear
When people say they don't fight.
Biggest red flag.
It's the biggest red flag I've ever heard.
It's also bullshit.
Like, why are you bullshitting us?
We know you fight.
It's either full of shit or you guys are, I'm unsure what's going on.
It's like saying, I don't poop.
Like, who says that?
I myself have never pooped.
And neither is my husband.
And I go, okay, are you alive?
They're aliens.
You're aliens.
That's not true.
Yeah.
That's insane.
Can I call in some time and get some parenting advice?
Anytime you want.
I love that.
We will take you anytime.
And here's the good news about my podcast.
You can do it from your bed.
You can do it from your sick bed.
Like that is the thing about the podcast is it's completely off camera.
You could be picking up your kids from nursery school because we've done that where people are like,
just hang on.
I just got to run in here and get my kid.
It's.
That feels like you just took.
a glimpse into my life. I've taken more than one phone call where I'm like, can you just hold
on one second? Come on, guys, we've got to get in the car. And the people on the phone are like,
are you serious or not? I've done it on our sales calls. Yeah. We're the ones. Thank you so much for
