Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce - Kylie & Wanda Sykes on Welcome to NFL Wife Life, Wild Fan Requests & Not Being A Cool Mom | Ep. 35

Episode Date: September 11, 2025

Kylie’s back for a brand new episode of Not Gonna Lie presented by Visible and starts things off with an announcement about the Real Ones teacher wishlists (1:30)! She then reacts to some of your top comments about the solo episode last week, mainly that much to her own chagrin… you all LOVED it. Perhaps we’ll just have to do more…? Kylie also reacts to a few new funny suggestions for what name to call herself once “mom” “mommy” “mama” inevitably get overused again and also explains why she wants to continue to keep her family relationships private (2:25). Then, after seeing some of the various NFL team spouses’ posts of their kickoff parties this past weekend, Kylie reminisces on her days as an “active” Eagles wife and the events she would put on for the community of women in Philadelphia. Kylie talks about the first ladies’ event she went to when she first started dating Jason and also reveals her own “Welcome to the NFL” moment (7:35). After that, in Doomscroll of the Week, Kylie explains the difference between “Me Time” and “Nobody Needs Me” Time in her home (11:43). She also found herself on jumping spider TikTok recently which inspires a segment about how dealing with spiders and insects works in the Kelce household (14:16). Kylie is then joined by Emmy-winning comedian and actress Wanda Sykes (17:40)! Kylie and Wanda immediately hit it off talking about all things Philly, including Wanda’s incredible involvement in getting the new WNBA team to Philly in 2030 (20:50).  Kylie also asks Wanda about how she enjoys doing stand up in Philly, if she runs jokes about her kids by them before performing them and the hilarious impression she does of her wife Alex (24:25). Then, Kylie asks Wanda about the role fans ask her about the most, which prompts a hilarious story about a pilot’s very funny fan request for Wanda (27:30). Kylie and Wanda also bond over some of the places they’ve had no business being in their lives and the fact that they both do not consider themselves fashionable or Met Gala material (29:05). Plus, Kylie and Wanda talk some more about parenting twins and what it’s like as a mom when your teenagers are suddenly old enough to drive and telling you how they’re “losing aura” (37:20). The two also discuss their philosophies on kids having cell phones and taking pride in not being a “cool mom” (42:22). Make sure you tune into More Sh*t Monday on the Not Gonna Lie YouTube channel for more exclusive clips from Kylie’s longer conversation with Wanda Sykes. . . .

let's get this podcast started welcome back to not going to lie a wave original brought to you by visible live in the know i'm your host kaiy Kylie Kelsey, friend of the spider community. I did not cry at kindergarten drop off. And I bleed green. By the way, Dax spit first. And in case you were wondering, Jason's tweet, I read it and laughed, Avi before he posted that. So all the people are thinking that it was appalling. Do you know my husband? Anyway, coming up on today's episode, a bunch of NFL wives just posted their season kickoff parties, which has me reminiscing about my days as the oldest Eagle's wife on the team. God, I was.

In this week's edition of, can I be honest? And as you can see, I'm in our Philly studio today because soon I'm going to be joined by a fellow birds fan. She's the hilarious Emmy-winning stand-up comedian, actress and writer who's been leading the charge for the WMBA here in Philly. Wanda Sykes. I'm so excited. Again, no business. But first, a quick NGL announcement about all the real one teacher wish lists. We've received hundreds and hundreds of submissions.

So thank you for your videos and sending the links. Queen Emma and the team have been hard at work compiling all of the wish list that were sent in. And I'm going to feature some of my favorite videos on Moorship Monday. Queen Emma wants me to commit to an amount that I am going to cover. And let's just say, the majority of the wish lists that were sent will have at least some of their items covered. If we were to clear wish lists, then we would do less of them. And that wouldn't reach as far.

Moving on, the Real On, the Real Ones had a lot to say about my solo episode this week. So I'm going to respond to some of your top comments. First up, much to my own chagrin, it seems like. you loved listening to just me for an entire episode. Why? That's terrible. This comment says I love the solo episodes. I just watched a grown woman answer a quiz about animals and I'm here for it. Yes, you did. And I do it again. That shit excites my soul. What was the buzzfeed? I used to love when it would pop up and be like, dog breeds. Do you know them? And I'd be like, you're fucking right I do. This next comment says, a solo once every four weeks. I really enjoyed this from Canada. Hey, up north. Queen Emma wants

to know if I would want to do more solo episodes. And I think it's pretty obvious. Fucking no. I nobody needs more of me. Right? No. Queen Emma also wants to know, what if they were a cool 60? And I said that just the way she would. Okay. No. Also no. I feel like this is the no segment. Maybe one more solo episode this fall. Queen Emma's looking for a Thanksgiving special. That's a solo episode. Maybe, honestly, because who the heck's going to want to record on Thanksgiving week?

I feel that. Me, that too. Okay. And also, the last episode wasn't technically a solo episode. Because Benny and Wyatt made cameos. So, gotcha. Next up, a lot of you guys gave more ideas for what I should have the girls call me to help break up the symphony of mom, mom, mommy, mom, mommy, mom, mama, mom, mommy. Let's see what they are. A little John, and your response could be, what?

Yeah, okay. I'll do it. I'll do it. I will absolutely do it. And I'm telling my kids to call, oh, me, cabs are here. Now, this gives me a very good idea. I actually feel like morning drop off, we're starting to get into a routine. And I feel like instead of saying that we need to get in the car, that I should just start yelling,

Cabs are here, because I feel like that's more fun. So maybe we'll do both. And lastly, there were a bunch of comments like this. no comment on the engagement? Hey, has she congratulated Travis and Taylor on their engagement? So if you record before the announcement was posted, you got it right. Yep, yep, you're with me. I think that this is, I would like to put out that I have made a very conscious effort. to not discuss Taylor and Travis on this podcast because news outlets, tabloids, and AI, quite frankly, like to post only the quotes that they grab from

whatever I say in reference to them. And here's where I think there is a disconnect. People do not realize that you at home, you have your family, and in your family, you might have a brother-in-law and they might be dating someone. You might have a soon-to-be sister-in-law. But you have a relationship personally with them that no one else is involved in because it's your relationship. And so I don't need to come out here and make statements. When I already talked to them, you see what I'm saying? I don't need you to clickbait my shit. I don't need you to take my comments and try to dissect it.

I think it goes without being said. I am so incredibly happy for them. We are so excited that they are taking this next step. The girls are so excited to get another aunt. I am so truly happy for them. and I feel so grateful that we get to welcome Taylor into our family in a more official capacity. But it's our private relationship. So that's my brother-in-law, Travis, and my soon-to-be sister-in-law, Taylor.

And so I don't need to talk about them all the time. Our relationship is private between us. And so it's okay that time made it so that we didn't congratulate. them in the last episode, and also that I don't always have to comment on what they're doing in their lives. Because I can just text them and talk to them. Anyway, now that that's been covered, let's move on to another one of my favorite segments. Can I be honest? Brought to you today by Advent Health, official health care provider of Walt Disney World Resort. This past weekend was, of course, NFL kickoff and alongside all the highlights, my Instagram feed was also filled with photos

from various NFL spouse kickoff parties happening around the league. Brooke Dickerson shared the Eagles ladies brunch. Former NGL guest, Kristen Yushcheck, threw one for the 49ers women. And as a retired NFL wife, emphasis on the retired, it's cool to see these bonding moments among the women of the league. I am, first of all, mostly proud of the Eagles women for doing it so early because we used to get, I'm not kidding, to November, I would say the end of November, and usually have a moment of shit, we haven't gotten together yet. yikes and then we would quick plan what would end up being a really fun Christmas or holiday get together but I'll tell you what it took that long and it was without fail and every single time

we would do the holiday one and we'd be like we should do this earlier next year and then you know what we would do not I especially love seeing the women who I was there with Brooke Dickerson Annie Elliott, Nikki, Myelada. There's all these women who are still there who are continuing this culture of sort of inclusivity and making sure that everyone feels like they have contact and that they have an opportunity for community. And that is really exciting to see. I feel really proud that that's happening in Philadelphia as if I have any fucking skin

in the game anymore because we're retired. Ironically, the first event that I went to with women, with the Eagles, was a white elephant. So, right on brand. I'm telling you, we literally every single year would just get to the holidays and then it would be spur of the moment. But I don't, it was a lovely time. I had one person there that I knew personally that had included me. she was friends with Jason shout out to Laura Barwin

it was nice to have that connection and Laura was great about including me and making me feel welcome there's something to be said about that because I'm sure that it still happens many places but it there's always that almost like a welcome to the NFL moment for women

and mine was when I met someone who shall remain nameless, to me honest, I don't even know if I remember their name. And when I met her, she said to the person that had introduced me, which is a random connection. Essentially, I was downstairs in the family room and someone... introduced me as oh this is jason's uh girlfriend and the person looked at the person introducing me and said jason kelsey and the woman said yes and she goes he has a girlfriend i was like yes bitch she just said that and i'm standing right in front of you what the fuck what excuse me um yeah that was my welcome to the NFL moment uh lucky for me

did not have to interact with that woman much more than that. It was better off. I was okay with that wholeheartedly. That does it for Can I Be Honest? Brought to you by Advent Health. Moving on, chat. Let's get to some scrolling. Doom Scroll the week is brought to you by Uber Eats. Order Sephora on Uber Eats today. Can you really? I could Uber eat some Sephora? First up on Doom Scroll at Anna Rankin. R.N. Ooh, a nurse. On TikTok made a point about me time that I feel deep in my bones. Queen Emma, roll the clip. I don't need me time. I need. No one needs me time. No one needs me time. No one needs me time. I don't need me time. I don't need it. That's honestly so true. I want to sit on the couch and sit.

That's it, period. That was my whole sentence. I wanted to sit on the couch, period. That's literally it. Is that? I'm, that's it. Me time to me says that I have things that I want to do for me. And that's not necessarily the case. I want no one to need me. I don't want to open a snack. I don't want to fill a water bottle. yeah I don't want to wipe a butt that's easy that's not mine you know um yeah I think I think that pretty much sums it up this is what I will say when there have been times where all of my children have left the house and no one is currently in my vicinity and I'm at my house by myself which is a great place to have nobody needs me time that's where I want the nobody needs me time. I want to interact with my house the way I want to interact with my house unguided. If you know what I mean, then you know what I mean. Approximately 30 minutes, I'll give it 30 minutes into that. I get real bored, really bored, and I want them to come back.

and then a couple times, full honesty here, no judgment, they come back and within 15 minutes of them being in the house, I'm like, you could leave, you could go back, go back wherever you were, go back to where you were, I missed you, and now the fact that you dropped kicked your sister in the middle of the living room makes me want you to go back wherever you were for 10 more minutes. I need to have more minutes of silence. You know? Yeah, that's it. Next up on Doomscroll, I found myself on DIY spider home building TikTok. Yes, you heard that right. Mm-hmm. And I have many thoughts. Queen Emma, the clip, please. So I have a little jumping spider. He's been hanging out in my bathroom for quite a few months now. So this is a little home I have set up for him so far. I have more

stuff coming to fill it up more. It's just on back order. But here's curious little bud is. I can't believe he got in here. Now, since he is like a wild spider, I'm not going to shut this door on him so he can freely go in and out as he pleases. And I got to get some food for him. A couple things I love about this video. First of all, she didn't kill the spider. Starting off on the right foot. I am the person who not only thinks that certain spiders are cute, but also we'll scoop them up in my bare hands and take them outside. Now, sometimes when I don't think they're cute, I'm not picking them up in my bare hands. That's going to be a cup and piece of paper situation.

I love nothing more than the fact that this spider knew that she created that for him or her and that it went into the little house. If you don't think spiders are cute, I want you to look up jumping spiders, and I want you to look at a close-up of a jumping spider. There's no way. They're so fuzzy and like compact and like almost chubby because of the fuzzy and their little eyes are so cute. Oh, I love it. The girls don't love bugs as much as me. I will say I have not pass that on. They do love what Benny calls. lollipolies. That makes me want to cry. I don't know why, but that made me want to cry. Hold on. It literally, the thought of hearing her say loly poli makes my heart sing. That is one thing I will

never correct. That is a lollipoli until she starts saying roly polly because some jackass corrected her. It won't be me. It will not be me. It's a lollipoli in our house until the end of time. That's it for Doomscroll. The week brought to you by Uber Eats. Wanda Sykes is about to join me right here in studio after I tell you all about Visible.

know I'm big into doom scrolling TikTok and sometimes when you get scrolling you just keep scrolling. I've definitely found myself going down some ridiculous rabbit holes. Police dogs, doxins, period. Specifically ones named Earl Grey. Any bugs? Spider TikTok. Donkey

TikTok. There's an animal theme here. But in order to have such a quality doom scroll experience, you most importantly need wireless that can keep up. Visible is the ultimate wireless hack.

I am so excited to have you specifically to talk about some Philly stuff. I know that you are in the area and a Philly sports fan. Yes. What's your favorite Philadelphia team? Eagles. Easy. Easy. That's, that's, that's the easy one. They make it a light lift. Yeah. Yes.

Now, what's the best part of Eagles fans that you have found? Just die hard. Die hard. Even when not having a great season, they don't, you know, they're not leaving this stands early. They stick around and they're there. Oh, they're going to let you have it. Yeah, they're going to boo you.

They're going to boo you. They're going to throw batteries at Santa Claus. They're going to do all that. Yes. But it's out of love. It's out of love. And it's like, okay, right now we know we stink, but we're going to let you know that. Yes.

And everybody has an opinion how to get better, what we need. Yes. Right. But when we're winning, isn't it the best? It is. It feels good around here, doesn't it? It feels great around here. Yeah, it does.

It feels good. In three words or less, how do you feel about the Dallas Cowboys? Three words or less. Piece of shit. Perfect. I was going to say, fuck. cowboys but yeah yeah that's my go-to okay piece of shit works yeah yep yeah i would say i usually say dumb-ass cowboys perfect but that's yeah that works the dumb boys yeah all acceptable okay um

like my husband you are not originally from philadelphia but you have very much embraced the city yes is there any philadelphiaism word phrase food that you are totally in on. John. Perfect. Applies to everything. It applies to everything. Person plays for thing.

It is very confusing for people who are not around here. Yes. But people cannot fathom that you have just, like it's a plug in anywhere. Anything. Anywhere. And it sounds good. It flows nicely. Yep.

Well, back to Philly Sports. Okay. Let's get right into it. You and your wife have been very much on the four. front of the movement to get Philadelphia, its very own WMBA team. Yes. And of course, we found out earlier this summer. It's finally happening.

Yes. In 2030, we will have our own WMBA team. What was your initial reaction to the news? Oh, man. We were just overwhelmed and just so excited. And so we've been working on this for a long time. And not just the two of us, we also, there's another mom group. Ashley Luckenheimer and Starlett Crandall, another couple.

And this all I started, we were telling them what we wanted to do when they, you know, jumped on and was like, hey, yeah, you know, let's go for it. And just started making calls and meeting with, you know, city council people. And actually, the mayor was on the city council at that time. So we met with her. And what I really really loved was that how everyone we talked to, was like, yes, Philly needs this, Philly deserves this. Like, no one was like, no, it was all just so positive, positive.

People wanted it for the city. They wanted it for women's sports. So, and everyone was like shop that it wasn't, you know, like we didn't already have one. You know, it was like, like, wait a man, how do we get overlooked? You know, D.C. has it. New York has it. It's like they, you know, we were to flyover city. What the hell, right?

So everyone was pretty fired up. And, of course, we put a, you know, got a bit together, put it in, and it was just crickets from the league. Nothing. Nothing. And we knew that in order to get this done, we had to have the Sixers support. And, you know, met with them and they were a little, mm-mm. But then, but David, David Alamond was always like, okay, yeah, I want to do this.

If it's not with the Sixers, I'll, you know, do it on, you know, help you guys, you know, financially on you know put in for the bid and all so um yeah everyone was really fired up about it but then when the sixers said you know what we got it we got to go all out on this we have to make this happen this is this is the right thing to do and so when they they did you know and here we are we're getting it 2030 yeah now with your involvement in getting the team here in the first place are you currently involved in the ownership group at all for the Philadelphia WMBA team Um, well, right now, uh, the answer, short answer, no. Um, however, we're having conversations and the Sixers and, you know, they have to figure out what that structure is. And once they figure out what that is, then they'll get back to us and we'll see how we can, you know, navigate. I'll bring my bag of nickels and see, see if that'll, see if that'll, that'll get us. one across the table at a time.

Is this enough? Is this enough? How about this? Yeah. Yeah. Can I have a little bit? Now, I've talked about wanting to invest myself. You let me know.

I'll bring a bag of nickels. Okay. No, but really, I'm so excited about it. And I'm so grateful to you and your wife and the other individuals who were advocating for it here because, like I said, I truly think. think Philadelphia has been ready for it for a long time, but obviously right now with the excitement around the WMBA and women's sports in general. This is, this is so, it's so cool and I really appreciate you guys. I'll pass it on to our little group. We call the Philadelphia

Sisters. That's perfect. I'm so grateful. I'd love to switch gears a little bit and talk about your career. I mentioned it in your intro. You are in the middle of your please and thank you stand-up tour. I see you've got some upcoming tour dates in the U.S. Are you planning any more Philly dates? Yes. It'll be next year though. But like the early part of next year. I think I saw something like maybe March or something. I'm not sure. That's perfect. Yes, I will be back. Of course. Love it. Bring it home. Do you like performing in Philly and where does it rank in as far as your top cities to perform in? I do. I love it. I love the audience. You know, it's pretty much like the, you know, it translates kind of like how Philly

feels about sports, the sports teams. The ones that come out, they know, you know, my love for the city. So they show up, you know, and they want you to do good. But if you do a joke that's not working, they'll let you know. Come on, Wanda, you know. Do they chirp at you? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. But our headgling doesn't stop at the link. So weird. No. No. Now, I also love whenever you talk about parenting on stage. Yes. Do you run your jokes by your kids before you perform them?

I do not. Love that. No. Going blind. Yes. Wing it. Yeah. Now, what's their feedback like?

Uh, actually, when they, when they started like a middle school, almost yeah yeah when they were they were in middle school they did say um hey can you like not talk about us because our friends you know their parents let them see things that you do and then you know and they joke joke on us i'm like oh i said well their parents shouldn't uh let them watch things like that's that's no my jokes are for mature my stand-up I said, but you can watch, you know, when I'm on, you know, like the late night show or something, but, and they were like, well, we really wish you wouldn't. I'm like, oh, well, you want a car, right? Mama's got to buy that car. Yeah.

That's too bad. Yeah. How's my mom got to buy the car? Now, do you run jokes by your wife? No, but she'll come to the show and she will let me know if, if it's too hard, too hard on her or whatever. And I say, don't you want a place in France? You want a place in France, don't you? Now, speaking about a place in France, no.

Now, when you imitate your wife, oh, yeah. Is she actually just casually, like, crushing heaters all day? Like, does she actually smoke cigarettes? I'm so intrigued. Or is it just, like, the air of, like, a French woman? It's the air of a French woman. I love that.

And she does not smoke, but that's just how I see her. When she's talking to me, I got it. I just see it. I just see her just, just. to be fair the first time I saw your impression of her when you started when you started out with the smoking the cigarette I thought this woman's French immediately glad to know that she's not just crush them all day though now you've also been in so many iconic movies and shows throughout your career is there are a project that fans bring up the most with you curb your enthusiasm understand they love curbing enthusiasm and people come up to me and hey hey Hey, can you yell at me or can you, you know, hey, leave a voice message and just cuss people out. Chris, I'm out.

I'm like, oh, okay. I'm not, you know, I'm not a crazy woman. I'm not, you know, come on, want to cuss. I'm like, actually, I got in the tail on, what, Monday. Yeah, flew back Monday. No, Sunday, Sunday, I flew like Sunday. And flight attendant goes, yeah, can you come and say hi to the captain? And he's a big fan.

So I go and he goes, call me an asshole. And I'm like, I just, you just flew me from. Safely. Yeah, safely. Uh-huh.

Chicago to here. And it's an asshole. Okay. Like, that's scary. Call me an asshole. I love that. As someone who curses a lot, I love that.

Um, I will say I loved your part in Monster In-Law. Thank you. Because the, like, the relationship between you and Jane Fonda for that was just hilarious. You guys played off of each other so well, and it was fun to watch. Thank you. Now, I often say I have no business being in the very cool places I have somehow found myself in these days. Fashion Week, the Olympics, a recording studio for a Christmas album I had no business being on.

This is shit your spouse is talking you into. It's a whole thing. is we're breezing right over it. How did you navigate Fashion Week? I'm not saying you're not fashionable. I'm just saying. No, I'm not. Like, I've never been to fashion week.

Let me be clear. My biggest fear is getting invited to the Met Gala or the Met Ball, whatever. That's don't, woof. They know better. You know what I would show up in? I hope so. I've said it multiple times. When people give me something where I need to dress up.

Uh-huh. This. Yeah. maybe a t-shirt yeah maybe a t-shirt maybe a black t-shirt that's right that's really jazzing it up right jeans chuck tailors there you go done good i'm not i ended up at fashion week because a dear friend of mine invited me she works for um mesquino obviously one of my like she's way cooler than me okay um and i ended up front row at alberta freddie which was incredible the cool thing is is that can appreciate it. I love that people do. I love it. I love it so much. And then I go into my closet

and I'm like, yeah, I'm going to put my converse back on and keep it rolling. So places that I had no business being, do you ever have any moments in your career where you just have, wow, I really have no business being here? Or that you're just like, wow, this is a really special moment. Because for a while people got very disturbed by the fact that I kept saying that I had no business being places or no business talking to the amazing people that I get to talk to and they were like no you have business being there and I'm like you it's a it's a funnier way of saying that I am so incredibly grateful to be able to experience these things right is there ever is there moments that stick out to you where you thought to yourself this is an incredible moment that I didn't know

I would ever get the opportunity to experience. I would say co-hosting the Oscars with Regina Hall and Amy Schumer. That was pretty amazing. Yeah. So we walked out and I'm like, what the hell am I doing here? You know, it's like, how did I get here? Yeah. This is crazy.

And then you just embrace it and roll. Yeah. Yeah. The White House Correspondence dinner. And, yeah, because, I mean, I know they, have a comedian there so that made sense but once I

walked in and I'm like it's President Obama I'm sitting next to Michelle Obama like what the fuck I get here you know you're like

what the hell is this? Yes I did that also on Monster Law when I walked in I'm like I'm working with Jane Bonda and Jennifer Lopez, this is crazy.

You're like, this is crazy. I feel like it's nice to experience those moments because it is a like, this is, it has to be one of those moments that sticks with you forever to be like, this was a really cool experience. And then you get to appreciate it a little more because you had that moment of like, what the fuck am I doing here? Yeah. Yeah.

Anytime I go like, when you take the tunnel to somewhere. Yes. Why am I allowed in the tunnel? Who let me in this tunnel? Like, don't I need a badge or something? Why? The number of times I've been like, I don't have a badge. I can't go there. And people are like, you don't have a badge because you're about to be on.

Can you just keep walking? And I'm like, man, I'm not allowed there. You need a badge to go there. They're clearly checking. You see that man? He's checking badges. I don't have a badge. So I'll be here.

You guys let me know how it goes. Yeah. Attention, real ones. I know I typically do our NGL. announcements at the top of the show, but I just had one more come in that I needed to fire off immediately. Sephora can now be delivered with Uber Eats.

You've finally made it to Disney World. The kids are all excited. You've got your Mickey ears on and you're ready for a magical time and then someone's got an earache or a tummy ache or you realize the medicine you brought exploded on the plane or rolled under the seat, never to be found again. These things happen, which is why I'm genuinely glad Walt Disney World Resort has an official health care provider in Advent Health. They go way beyond First Aid stations and have their Advent Health World of Wellness. It's basically like having a health safety net while you're on vacation. What's also great is you can hop on the Advent Health app and do a telehealth visit. If you need a prescription, they'll deliver it straight to your resort. Plus, their urgent care will actually come

pick you up. And for anything more serious, there's a first of its kind emergency room located near Disney property. So when you're planning your next Disney trip, add Advent Health to your checklist because keeping your family healthy means you can focus on the fun. You can check them out at adventhealthworld of wellness.com. Now, I have said it before that I don't really get starstruck. but I do get nervous. Have you ever been starstruck early in your career? George Clooney. Yeah.

I don't even know I was in New York for something and my publicist is like, let's go to Four Seasons bar and, you know, have a drink. All right, cool. So we get there and, And another publicist comes over and starts talking to her. And she goes, and she goes, get ready. I'm like, huh?

And here comes George Clooney, just casual, just walks into the bar. And it really, you could just feel like the air just getting just, it just shifted. Sure. It was just a shift. And everyone's like, you can, you can hear that. Everyone inhaled at the same time. You can feel that. So we're at the bar and he's like, hey, Wanda, how are you doing?

I'm like, hi, George Clooney? You know, I say his whole name. Hi, George Clooney, you know. That's incredible. And I was, yeah, it was, yeah, he has star power. Just. A collective inhale. Mm-hmm.

Okay. What, he was worth a collective inhale? He was. Mm-hmm. I love that. charming charming he seems that way i'm glad now well i'd love to circle back to parenting and talk to you some more about being a mom okay you are a mom of twins yes um i saw you recently talked about them being almost old enough to drive yes they're 16 and how is that going um Olivia is into it

She's really like, hey, you know. And I took her out for spin. It's terrifying. It is. It's terrifying. When you don't have control of the break. Yeah, she did a great job. Sure.

She did a great job. But I'm going to send her to a class with somebody has a car with a brake or another wheel on their side or at least a break on their side because, you know, it is. You're really just putting your life in their hands. In a very large, like a heavy piece of machinery. A heavy piece of machinery. Yeah. But she did a good job, but it's, I mean, it's terrifying. I don't want to be in the car with any of my kids when they start driving.

No. Because also, I'm not equipped to teach. Who the fuck? Who am I? And you know what doesn't work? Hey, don't do that. That does not work. That doesn't work.

That doesn't work. No, I want someone who's a professional. Now, twins, how is that? Two at the same age, at the same time. Now, you have boy girl. Boy girl. That must mix it up a little. As they got older, yeah, it did.

But when we first got home, we thought, oh, this is because they got home and they got home and they were just still in their little car seats and they were sleeping. And we were like, oh, okay, this is good, all right. So then we, it was still sleeping, put them in a little, in a little pack and play because, you know, we were doing stuff. And fine. And it was time to go to bed, put them in the crib. This all hell broke loose. Like just, it was just, this one would cry.

This one would, you know, need to change in. It was one, okay, feed this one, change this one. It was just constantly that. And after two days of that, I was. I was like, one's got to go back. We got to... I say, it's up to you, but you got to take one back.

Yep. I bow down to parents of multiples because I at least, we have four now. But we had each of them, they each had their own newborn experience. We got a two year window or something. Okay. Yep.

Nearly two years in between each of them are two oldest or 17 months apart. That's our closest. And everyone else is about two years apart. But, I mean, multiple at the exact same time. But still, you're doing this. It's not two years because you're doing it while you're pregnant with the, so, wow. No, we talked about you having two 16-year-olds. I don't know about you, but I've learned a lot about Gen Z and Gen Alpha slang,

coaching high school field hockey. Okay. Have you guys talked about your aura in your house? Yes. Love this. Okay. Tell me more. Yes.

Well, it's all about losing aura. Yes. That's what I've learned. Like, is that there's aura. Things are taking from your aura when it's bad. Yes. And then feeding or growing your aura when it's good or something. I can't.

I know Olivia left something in class and she had to run. to catch the bus. And so she was talking about that. Like we drive them to school and they take the bus home. So she goes, oh, man, I don't know what it's going to be like this morning. I'm like, what?

She's like, I lost so much aura yesterday. She's like, I had to run to the bus. And I don't know, I know everyone saw it. It's going to be at least a couple days. And her friend is like, yeah, dude, at least a couple. I'm like, you ran to the butt, what? For running? Yeah.

It's not cool to run. It's not cool to run. It's not cool to run. I know that. For some reason, I know that. It's not sure why. Yeah, it's not cool to run. I feel like running is like, running in high school is the equivalent of having like a wheelie backpack.

We're not, we're not running. You're not running in high school. I made Lucas wear a helmet. He was riding a scooter, right? God forbid. And yeah. He was going to tennis court on the scooter. And I was like, put your helmet on.

No. Safety is not cool. He's like, you are killing my aura. No, safety is not cool. You're killing my aura. I'm like, well, I'd rather you lose aura than get a brain injury. Correct. I'm with you.

This makes a lot of sense. I also saw a clip of you saying recently that you're not the cool mom. Not really. I love that. Mm-mm. I am not a cool mom either. No. But what would you say makes you not the cool mom?

I ask a lot of questions, you know. I want to know, you know, where you're going and all that. And I'm the one of, hey, don't do this and, you know, stop playing ball in the house, things like that. Now, I did see a clip where I believe it was you asked your kids what they wanted for their birthday. Mm-hmm. And they said Instagram. Yeah. Now, how old were they when they said that?

Well, they had been asking for that when they were like 13, 14. Mm-hmm. They didn't get phones until they were almost 13. I love that so much. Yeah. And the only reason why we broke down then was because the teachers was, like, will you please let your children have phones? Like, they're being bullied. And then I was like, I don't care. Builds character. Yeah. I was like, I don't care. They was like, no, no, no. You

understand. They really do need to have phones. She's like, and they're going to start getting assignments on. Yep. Blah. And then when they started, you know, taking the bus and everything, I'm like, all right, let's get them phones. Yeah. Because then I look at it as. I can track So recently I discussed with Kelly Rippa about how I would like to have what I'm calling the kitchen phone and basically have cell phones in the kitchen that live in the kitchen, that if you need to go to sports, if you need to go a place where your parents are not, that you could take the phone, that your friends could have the phone number, but that the phone doesn't leave essentially the kitchen or the communal living space. it's not going to your room it's not going to the basement it's not going anywhere i cannot get eyes on you or hear your conversation i love that and it's right there if i ever want to access what you've done on it it's right there am i going to who the fuck knows who knows but that's the fun of it that's the fun that's right and there were a lot of comments that were like good luck

and i was like well thank you i know you mean that sarcastically but i'm going to stick to it Because I truly think that there is a, we're lost in a way that our kids are now like this. And some don't know how to interact with other human beings. They don't know how to hold a conversation. They don't know how to like simple, simple interactions are lost because they just want to be right here. And do you feel like your kids benefited from not being stuck in their own personal cell phones? Absolutely. Our kids are, I think, much more personable.

And we get comments from, you know, from adults and our friends like, oh, my God, your kids are so sweet. They come in, they say hello. They, you know, they can hold conversations. they, you know, and I know that is from them not being here all the time. I really am lost on the fact that kids are given cell phones and people are like, oh, you can download this app or you can put parental controls on it. You know that these kids are learning technology in school. They're going to surpass us in our technology knowledge by fucking fifth grade.

Absolutely. And you think they're not going to be able to get around the parental controls? Kiss my ass. I have more faith in my oldest daughter. she'll be cracking everybody's cell phone that one's nuts in terms of being a cool mom do we even want to be cool moms no

isn't that sort of the thrill of being a mom that's part of our like write of passage we get to embarrass you yes that comes with the territory I want I don't want to be cool I don't want to be the cool mom no I want to be the one that like pulls up to school blasting some ludicrous honks the horn and says have a great day and like draws attention and like

everyone's like what is your mom doing Does she think she's cool playing that? Yes, yeah, I am. Right. I'm cool to myself. That's what I do. Yeah. And I'm here to embarrass you.

Or if they have a song and they go, oh, this song is so great. I go, no, well, here's the original. Yes. Yeah. Oh, isn't that funny? This is what we're going to listen to. Yes. Yeah.

Not the cool mom. Mm-mm. We're better that way. I cannot thank you enough for coming today. Oh, I love this. And chatting. This is incredible. Again, I thank you so much for your ad.

advocacy on getting the WMBA team here. I am as a mom of four daughters, very excited that they will have the opportunity to cheer on female basketball players in our very own city. It is unbelievably exciting. And based on the height trajectory that we are on in our household, I might have at least one basketball player. So this could be great. Yes.

Thank you so, so much. I really appreciate it. Thank you.
