We wanted to do something that highlighted our relationship. And what it's like to be siblings. We are a siblings. Revely. No, no. Sibling reverie. Don't do that with your mouth. Sibling

Revelry. That's good. Oliver Hudson here. I'm doing this podcast right now. It's 10 o'clock in the morning and I'm intermittent fasting. I know every intro is sort of becoming about my health shit or my trying to sort of be healthy. But it's overtaken my life. And maybe it's a good thing. But it's 10 o'clock and I don't eat till 11, although I ate at 8 last night, which was an hour later, so maybe I have to wait till 12. So I'm starving. I'm starving. And you get used to it, no doubt. But now I have to be on. I have to be sharp. I have to be witty.

I have to ask good questions. Part of me thinks that this hunger creates a certain heightened, you know, a sense where you can fire in all cylinders. And then there's a part of me where it's like, I have no, my blood sugar has dropped to zero and I'm going to lose my mind. Anyway, it doesn't really fucking matter because it is what it is. And here I am. but I'm very excited to be talking to Kelly Stafford. She's actually in the waiting room right now, and I'm a massive, massive football fan.

I'm a Broncos fan, but I was at the Super Bowl, actually, when the Rams played in the Super Bowl, I think that was, you know, Matt was, yeah, I think that's when he won the fucking Super Bowl. Anyway, this is very exciting. understanding what it's like to be even a football wife what the community looks like you know all the other football wives she's got four girls i've watched a little documentary on him so this is this is exciting let's uh let's just bring her in so you can listen to her and not me

well hello hi how are you i'm good how you doing i'm hanging in there are you are you yep little by little week by week that's sort of the answer i give all the time when someone asks me that it's never like oh i'm good it's like i'm hanging in there i feel like we're all sort of just hanging in there uh yeah i know it it is you know i mean i know i said like i just feel like in today's world we're just trying to survive survive life exhaustion all of it it's true and people listening would hear this and think oh it's Kelly Stafford and you know she's got the life of Riley or it's Oliver Hudson and you know what the fuck do they have to complain about but yeah I hate that I think that's total bullshit it discredits any sort of human

feeling that we might have where yeah we're there's still a get by aspect to your emotional state to anxiety to whatever mental issues you might have going on to raising kids to all of it yeah I would say like you, whether, whoever you are, you wake up on a Monday morning and your kids are sick, your kids are sick. You're dealing with that. Like it's, you have, yes, there are luxuries in life that I've been given through who I'm married to, which is amazing. But I'm still trying to remain for my children very down to earth and want to raise them in that way. So I'm trying to do it on my own. and I'm trying to, you know, show them that life is not what really you've been given.

It's kind of what you make of it. So, but it is, it is frustrating. People are like, well, why don't you just hire someone or why? Well, to be honest, I had these children. I want to do it. Like, there is, and I think they want me to do it unless they're in trouble and then they don't like me. But we all know that. Well, that's good.

I mean, honestly, that's pretty. amazing you've got four girls and you're just like solo mission i mean i mean even we have we i've got well now my kids are older but we've had a nanny you know what i'm saying like yeah when they were younger when they were younger we we definitely had someone helping us i mean i had four kids under i think like three at one point that's insane years old yeah so huh to do that would be a joke uh on my own but um We did. And now that they're a little older, you know, it is, I truly believe like they start developing their personalities. They take on the characteristics of the people who are leading them. So I would like to be doing that now, not to say that, hell, if I need someone, I'm calling. I'm not against asking for help by any means. But unfortunately, we don't have family out here. Our family is in Texas. And so it is, you know, a nice. woman that we've known for a very long time that will come help us out. But again, like, life is life. And I truly believe that no matter what circumstance you are in, there are

stresses regardless. And handling those stresses bigger or small, it's difficult, especially in today's age, because I just feel like you can't fail without being canceled. And we can't show our kids that we can fail, so they can't fail. So there's just, I mean, we put pressure on ourselves too thanks to social media but um yeah i mean i think you know when my kids wake up sick or my kids have a bad day at school or they get a bad grade on a test yeah i'm going through the same things that someone else is doing parenting the same situations how old are you how old are the girls i have two seven-year-olds um identical twin girls a six-year-old girl and a four-year-old girl so they're still like little yes they are they are they're

are. I guess it feels so old because that time in my life, when they were so young, it was just a complete blur. I look back at that. And I do like, I, the woman who helped us out, her name is Tata, she's amazing. But I, like, am so grateful for her because I feel like she saved my marriage. Like, there were, you know, the stress that comes with little kids and just like keeping them alive and making sure they're succeeding when you're looking at everything around you and like, well, they're, they're walking. They're eating solids. Why aren't, why am I? You know, they, it's tough. It just is hard. So I will say when they were young, it was surviving. And it was either me surviving, my husband surviving, or our marriage or are, you know, just in general,

everything trying to survive at that point. Oh, yeah. Oh, God. Yeah. I mean, mine are older and I have 17, 14, and 11. Okay. You know, I remember those times, and especially, especially the toll it can take on your relationship with your person. Yeah. But that's why it's much easier said than done, but you have to have grace, obviously. Like you have to understand that we are, you know, in this washing machine and just trying to figure it all out. And then our nerves are beyond frayed. Yeah.

So all of the little tiny things are going to sort of create something. Yeah. And then you've got your dude. who's out. He's got to go to work. You know what I mean? So you're left alone to do all the shit. Similarly, as an actor, too, when I have to go away for months at a time and Aaron is home with the kids. Yeah. You know, there's a guilt part that I have with all that as well. Oh, okay. Not now. They're like a hundred. I mean, they can basically take care of themselves. I don't know. I don't know if you said 17, 14, and 11. Yeah, yeah. But they can, like my 17-year-old

drives my for they can be alone in the house they can advocate for themselves they can take care of themselves like they want food they know how to make it they can go get food you know my 11 year old girl is the only one who sort of you know are they are they is it what is the girl boy two boys little girls 17 14 my boys and my little 11 year old rio is my girl yeah your baby's your daughter yeah yeah and she's incredible i love that have you hit the years of like they don't like you yet for the girl. I know the boys probably, but yeah, no, not yet. I mean, Rio is, it's hard to explain. She's just like this little perfect little being who's so sweet and nice and so feminine and very athletic, but also tough because she has her two older boys. You know what I mean? Yes, love that.

It's this just, I don't know, and she's so caring and empathetic. I'm like, okay, what's going to, you know, when puberty hits, is this all going to go to hell? You know what I mean? Like, I don't know. I'm hoping not. Well. She doesn't hate me yet. Okay, that's good. Because I do feel like it starts at that, like, the, you know, just added, although I'm already getting attitudes and I am about to lose my mind over it. We've had, Matthew and I have had very tough discussions with our girls recently of like, listen, you have, I mean, it is just the, we come from the, I come from Georgia.

He comes from Texas. We are manner-based. You show respect to adults. care you know like you that's just what you do yeah and our girls are really struggling with that I'm like how many times so I had to like shove this in your mind um so we are like the I don't know the attitudes are coming out my little four year old's about to send me over the edge and she's four um I feel like she's taking on all the emotions and everything of her older sisters and just packaging into one little ball and just letting it all ride I'm like

So I'm glad to hear. With four girls, I mean, you know, there's so much going on. There's, yes. You know, I mean, at least the boys, there's a bit of a break, you know. It's not, and my boys get along very well. We've always been into manners and sort of looking someone in the eye when they're talking to you and engaging, you know what I mean? Yes. And they're great at it.

You know, I really, you know, even as far as school goes, like, if you try hard and get a D, I'm good with it. I just want you to be good human beings. I want you to develop some kind of work ethic, you know, that I honestly didn't have growing up. But other than that, just be good people. It goes so much further than getting 100 on your math test. Like, I am all for, and it's funny you say that with my identical twins, you know, they they are good in one's good in one area, the other goods in the other.

And they do have this competitive nature, which I think a healthy competitive nature is good. I've never had an identical twin, though. So that's a hard thing to navigate because I don't want it to become unhealthy. But I was telling them because one was very upset. She didn't do very well on a test and the other one did great. And I was telling her, I was like, listen, you worked really hard at this. We're going to keep working at it.

But the end of the day, if it becomes in high school and we're still still struggling, Elaine, we'll just switch. You'll take all the math tests. Your sister will take all the reading tests. At the end of the day, you know what? We might not be Einstein. And that's okay. We're going to succeed in other areas.

But I told them, I was like, I don't want them to get so like caught up in. I mean, education is very important. I want to say that. But like, I would much rather them be caught up in trying to be better people. Because that's going to, I believe that will get you much further than. knowing what two plus two means because in the end I feel like computers are going to do that for us anyway so of course in education now I mean obviously there's been an evolution of education I still feel like you know we're still living a bit in the past just the basics yes you know I get the basics right but but what is what does it mean to be educated now you know I mean really good question what are our kids kids going into life thinking and hoping for and what what does it how does it help them navigate especially when you're dealing with new technology obviously not new but just

social media and everything at your fingertips and algorithms and you know all of these things being pushed onto you right well you i feel like your kids are at the age do they teach about any of that in school or brought down this hole if you're looking at certain things Yeah, no. I mean, there's no actual class on that. I mean, of course, my wife and I are constantly sending, like, you know, Instagram videos about how TikTok, you know, will kill you and all the fear, like fear factor shit. And they're just kind of like, oh, dad, like, we get it. You know. Yeah. And by the way, I mean, each kid is an individual. Some children might get taken down by the algorithm, you know, by what they're being fed. and it might create sort of mental instability. Some kids don't. Some kids, it's just like, no, I'm scrolling. I said, either way, you know that it's zombifying your brain, you know,

because I've experienced it where all of a sudden you go into a hole and two hours go by and they're like, oh, my God, what am I doing? I was in Chicago last weekend and I literally was up until 3.30 in the morning just on now. I'm a horrible sleeper when I'm not at home and not with my husband, but 3.30, I looked at my clock and I'm like, oh, I've been scrolling on reels, funny reels that make me laugh and make me happy. But like for two hours, I'm going, what in the hell? What just happened? Yeah, it's rabbit hole stuff. No, I know, but my wife feels seen and heard with all the reels because she's always like, oh my God, look it's us or, honey, look at that. You know, and she literally says, I feel seen and I feel heard because certain things that she thought were only existing in her marriage or in her brain, it's a universal thought. It's true. And that's a good thing about social media.

Like it can make people feel less alone when they're going through certain things. I remember coming out with my IVF or my infertility struggles and immediately it's like you feel like you're surrounded by a community that's going through the same. But before I felt so alone. Like I was like, no one's going through this. why am I going through this? So that is like the one, I will say there are, there is positives to social media in that aspect. But I really,

I mean, I worry about my kids, um, getting into that. Cause like, I have, you know, issues like with my confidence because of social media.

And I can only imagine a child whose brain isn't fully developed, the issues that can come about for them. Like I'm a full grown adult feel very secure, but like, media makes me feel insecure, whether it's, you know, about being a mom or a wife or what I look like. I mean, not having a nine to five job. I mean, there's just like certain things that you get fed and you're like, God, I mean, you know, am I worthy? Stuff like that. So I, I really worry about my kids getting into it. But I just, I also know that there's probably no

stopping it. No, I mean, agreed. And you can't rail against it. This is what, this is the new norm, you know, I have friends who, who, you know, cut it off and don't do this and don't do that. And sometimes, you know, that can create more fervor for it. It's like, I can't have it. I want it. Yeah. You always want what you can't have. And yeah. And the other thing with the kids is, it's interesting as an adult getting onto social media, you know, and having it affect you. one way or another, like infiltrate your psychology essentially and maybe not feel good enough. These are sort of touching upon issues that maybe have been in your life since childhood, you know, that are like literally just hitting those pressure points. Right. And with my,

with my kids, I've done it early on to sort of tell them, hey, this is all bullshit. Okay. I know it's fun, but you're scrolling through and all that. But this is, there is a, there is a disconnection. There is this, a lot of this is just absolutely not real. And the minute that I see you attaching your sense of well-being to something on the internet or to something that you're looking at, then I'm, I'm going to take the shit away because that's ridiculous. You know what I mean? Yeah. And so if I can try to teach them this early, then hopefully it's not going to affect them. And so far, it hasn't. They seem totally cool. okay that's good to know that makes me feel better they don't seem like they're messed up in any way

yeah with social media okay i mean because that's like my biggest one of my biggest worries for my girls like i don't know they're already gonna be somewhat competing against one another just because that is what life i mean like they're living under the same house they're gonna be they're going to be in high school at this all four at the same time i am like wholly dreading that moment i know it'll be so fun, but also so stressful. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So it is that I just, I know there's going to be enough competition within this themselves.

For sure. That I just don't want them competing with every person on social media, which I feel like sometimes is what we do. It's like a natural, like, oh, like I need to be better at this. Clearly, this person's good at this. Oh, yeah. Or this person's doing it this way and I should be doing it. You know, I don't know. It's just.

it's one of those things I'm dreading as they get older the closer and closer it gets to them wanting that. September always feels like the start of something new, whether it's back to school, new projects, or just a fresh season. It's the perfect time to start dreaming

about your next adventure. I love that feeling of possibility, thinking about where to go next, what kind of place we'll stay in, and how to make it feel like home. I'm already imagining the kind of Airbnb that would make the trip unforgettable, somewhere with charm character and a little local flavor. If you're planning to be away this September, why not consider hosting your home on Airbnb while you're gone? Your home

could be the highlight of someone else's trip, a cozy place to land, a space that helps them feel like a local. And with Airbnb's co-host feature, you can hire a local co-host to help with everything from managing bookings to making sure your home is guest ready. Find a co-host at Airbnb.ca slash host. I'm Jorge Ramos. And I'm Paola Ramos. Together we're launching The Moment, a new podcast about what it means to live through a time as uncertain as this one. We sit down with politicians. I would be the first immigrant mayor in generations, but 40% of New Yorkers were born outside of this country. Artists and activists, I mean, do you ever feel demoralized.

I might personally lose hope. This individual might lose the faith, but there's an institution that doesn't lose faith. And that's what I believe in. To bring you depth and analysis from a unique Latino perspective. There's not a single day that Paola and I don't call or text

each other sharing news and thoughts about what's happening in the country. This new podcast will be a way to make that ongoing intergenerational conversation public. Listen to the moment. with Jorge Ramos and Paola Ramos as part of the MyCultura Podcast Network

My name is Ed. Everyone say hello, Ed. I'm from a very rural background myself. My dad is a farmer, and my mom is a cousin. So, like, it's not like... What do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club?

I know it sounds like the start of a bad joke, but that really was my reality nine years ago. I just normally do straight stand-up. This is a bit different. On stage stood a comedian with a story that no one expected to hear. Well, 22nd of July 2015, a 23-year-old man had killed his family. And then he came to my house. So what do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? A new podcast called Wisecrack, where stand-up comedy and murder takes Interstate.

Available now. Listen to Wisecrack on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is a tape recorder statement. The person being interviewed is Krista Gail Pike. This is in regards to the death of a Colleen slimmer. She started going off on me, and I hit her. I just hit her and hit her and hit her. On a cold January day in 1995, 18-year-old Krista Pike killed 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer in the woods of Knoxville, Tennessee.

Since her conviction, Krista has been sitting on death row. The state has asked for an execution date for Krista. We let people languish in prison for decades, raising questions about who we consider fundamentally unrestorable. How does someone prove that they deserve to live? We are starting the recording now. Please state your first and last name. Krista Pike. Listen to Unrestorable Season 2, Proof of Life,

How have they been with just like, you know, your lifestyle, the fame aspect of who you guys are, who their dad is, you know, going to the games being coddled and, you know, because I dealt with that growing up with my parents. It was just like, okay, you know, there were celebrity, famous parents.

It was a different time. Right. You know, I will say one thing. Moving to L.A. was probably the best thing for them. In Detroit, if we would have stayed there, it would have been like they are Matthew Stafford's children, because there's not many celebrities there. There's not, like here, he's like a zealot celebrity.

And honestly, yeah, well, there's like, and there's so many people that surround us that are these, you know, big time people and their kids. And so they kind of fly under the radar here, which is really nice. You know, they get to be their own people. They're no one's kids right now, which is, it really is amazing.

move I did not know moving out to LA that would have like I didn't like think about it um born and raised in the South being a Midwesterner for 12 years LA was a little scary for me before girls I was like oh man what is this going to be like and it has been honestly amazing for our family um again it's we feel very normal here so that has been such a blessing I will say going to games the older three understand it like they understand kind of the velocity of what they're like you know just the aspect of everyone's coming into this stadium to watch their dad and his team play um which they find really cool kids at school where their dad's jersey and they're kind of like wow but they just come home and they're like so-and-so is wearing dad's

jersey and i was like oh that's cool and they're like yeah and we move on um you know now it's funny as girls like i feel like if i had four boys it would be like yeah dad you know right um My girls more so are kind of now watching these games to make sure he's getting up. Yeah. Yes, we had a tough run of it. Was it last year or the year before? I don't remember. And my twins, who are the oldest, really got emotional about a certain play where he, like, didn't get up from.

In fact, when he came home, they cried to him and asked him to stop playing. Yeah. It's scary. Yeah. So they love football, but they also, I think, are kind of like we love dad more, which is a good thing. How does Matthew deal with that? I mean, obviously, he's not going to fucking retire because his daughters want them to. But, you know, your kids, I mean, and I can speak for myself, obviously, because they're my number one priority in my life.

Right. And I can sort of not have a window. I'm a huge football fan, by the way, but I have a window into you guys and Matthew because I watched some sort of a docu-series. I forget what it was, but it was specifically on you guys. Okay. And I forget where it was on.

But just to watch him and how he is as a dad and how he kisses all you girls' sidelines. You can tell this is not for the camera. You know, sometimes it's like, ah, cameras are on me. I'm going to show what a great dad I am or a great person I am. Yeah. This man seems to be extremely genuine in his parenting and how much he cares about being a father, you know? Yes.

I mean, I would say people say he's very good at being a quarterback. I would say he's a thousand times better at being a dad. He, I mean, I look up to him in so many ways when it comes to parenting. he's very patient with our girls he's just like a wholesome dad he loves on them when they're upset he explains to them when they're in trouble as to why they're in trouble

meanwhile I'm going just yelling I'm like why would you do that today and he's like all right well let's talk about this maybe we should do this because he loves those girls more than anything and I you know no he would not retire after

one time of them crying and saying they don't want him to play. But I will say if anything got him to retire besides himself, it would be them. It would not be me. It would be his daughters. You know, that thing recently came out

about Brett Farr with Parkinson's. And, you know, you go into the articles and they talk about how concussions, you know, the percentage goes up to have Parkinson's if you've been hit in the head gotten a concussion. And that... crushed me, I, like, went straight to him and I was like, I'm struggling with this.

Like, you have four daughters. I need you to be able to walk them down the aisle if they get married, you know, not pushing marriage, but if they want to get married, I, I need you to be the same person. I'm married. I can't, like, this is, it's just, it's a hard realization because concussions are so hard because they just don't show until late. And so they can feel fine. And then 10 years later, it could be completely different.

So even me, you know, like, I can say that a thousand times to him, but when his daughters show these emotions to him about just like, even if he's like gingerly walking around after a game, you know, this actually happened this last week, but last weekend. But, you know, they're like, Daddy, are you okay? And he's like, I'm fine. He's like, well, what's hurting? And they will just try and try. And they're like, well, maybe, you know, what did, what it was maybe. Oh, and then we lost the one of ones. My third was like, well, maybe you should practice more.

And my oldest were like, no, we don't want him to get hurt. It's like it's constant. But again, I will say like, no, he's not going to retire because his daughters ask him to. But he will take it into consider. Like, it will make him considerate rather than just like keeping on going without even wise. Well, here's a hypothetical and you don't have to answer this. Okay. If he was in Tua's situation, how much would you step in?

How much would you say, hey, you know what? You know what I'm saying? I know this is always going to be your decision, but this is this, now I'm worried. I know Matthew's taking some fucking hits. I've seen him, right? Yeah. And, you know, he's been in the league long enough to where they weren't even really monitoring it. Of course, yeah.

That's what's scary is the, is, you know, the beginning of it all. With Tua, I mean, he's so young. Yeah. And, you know, when he, those concussions he's gotten, he's out. And so it's really hard. I know they have, we went to a doctor in Pittsburgh two years ago. I believe he did the same thing after this one. And they are known for just evaluating.

and kind of laying it down for you pretty on hard, like laying it down hard for you. Yeah, yeah. And they did it for us, which I was so grateful because you get a lot of education with it all. I can't speak on being in his wife's position. I would never want to be in that position. It's just he's so young.

I mean, I know. And you know what sucks too. and this is part of it, but you get a massive contract. This organization puts a lot of, you know, they just believe in you, so they put a lot of money your way. And sometimes I feel like these guys

feel like they have to honor that and give them their life for it. But they don't. It's a great point. They don't have to. You can give them all you can, you don't have to give them your life. And if you continue getting these concussions,

that's a scary thing that could possibly happen. Yeah. So, but I just feel like they feel the pressure to do that. Oh, of course. And there's that and obviously love of the game. Of course. That goes without saying.

Yes, yes. When you have done this all your life and, you know, it's true passion and worked so hard. Yeah. It is your identity. Yeah. That's a hard thing to give up. It's really hard.

But they have two kids, I believe, too. Yeah, there's a lot to, I think there's a lot of discussions to be had there. But at the end of the day, it is his decision. And I'm sure she will support whatever decision. And I say it's his decision, but it's their decision together. You know, and it'll support probably whatever he wants to do. Yeah. Are you looking forward to Matthew's retirement?

I see the smile on my face. Yep. You know what? I will miss him playing football, 100%. I mean, this has been a joy of my life to watch the person I love most to do something he is incredibly talented at and also something he loves so much and works so hard for. But as our girls get older and as he gets older, it is something I am also looking forward to. I mean, I just think, I looked at his sister last Sunday in Chicago and I said, you know, I'm kind of looking forward to Sundays where I am not having, like where I don't have anxiety coming up through my, I don't know, nose from my heart and like just all of it together.

Sundays are stressful. They're great at hell they're stressful. And for some reason, my husband loves either a fourth quarter comeback. or he loves close games. There is never like a like 50 to 10 game. We're like drinking in the sweet, having a good time. Yeah. And whatever.

It is always very close. And I feel like it's taking years off my life. Totally. Yes. And it's not like, then you have to worry about, you know, him getting hit and all these things.

And so, yeah, am I looking forward to him retiring? Yes. Well, your levels of anxiety are far exceed his. I mean, without a doubt. Yes, I would think being out there and playing, you get the adrenaline, you kind of lose

like the anxiety, like, you know, it's like pumped up. Right. And he's won and lost a lot. Like he understands what it's like to win and lose and, you know. 100%. And I will say he's come a long way when it comes to losing. And I also credit his daughters for this. Losing a game, it used to be like the biggest, you know, the whole week would be about that loss.

We had trouble moving on or he, you know. And now, right. right after the game, it's straight to the dog. I mean, it's, it's, it's job now. I mean, he knows. I think his daughters have brought that sense to him where it is. That's work. And this is life.

And he's very, I mean, he's very intelligent. He's got a really good head on his shoulders. He's like, well, you know, this is coming to an end. Like he, he's played a long ass time. I know. He's a long time. But he's thrive. I know.

It's, I mean, he's had, it's almost like a resurgence in a sense. I know, like, it's almost like when you've become a vet for this long, like reading defenses and doing all this stuff just becomes second nature. Yeah. And so I do feel like that's because, like, this is this second surge. It's definitely not like, and I love him to death and he would say this too. It's not like his athleticism is getting better. Sure. It's not like he's getting faster.

It's not possible, right? Yes. You're getting older. Your body breaks down. And I love him so much. Running was never part of his game anyways. But now it's definitely not. You know, so it is, I do think it's like a very mental aspect of the game that kind of clicks as these vets get older.

And then you have that second like surge. So we'll see. You know, again, I don't know. It's up to him at the end of the day. Yeah. But I am, I mean, I'll be sad and I'll be excited. Of course. It'll be, yes, bittersweet.

September always feels like the start of something new, whether it's back to school, new projects, or just a fresh season. It's the perfect time to start dreaming about your next adventure. I love that feeling of possibility, thinking about where to go next, what kind of place we'll stay in, and how to make it feel like home. I'm already imagining the kind of Airbnb that would make the trip unforgettable. somewhere with charm, character, and a little local flavor. If you're planning to be away this September, why not consider hosting your home on Airbnb while you're gone? Your home could be the highlight of someone else's trip,

a cozy place to land, a space that helps them feel like a local.

IVF disrupted, the Kind Body Story, a podcast about a company that promised to revolutionize fertility care. Introducing Kind Body, a new generation of women's health and fertility care. Backed by millions in venture capital and private equity. It grew like a tech startup. While Kind Body did help women start families, it also left behind a stream of disillusioned and angry patients. You think you're finally like with the right people in the right hands and then to find out again that you're just not.

Don't be fooled. By what? All the bright and shiny. Listen to IVF disrupted, the Kind Body story, starting September 19 on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. My name is Ed. Everyone say, hello, Ed.

Hello, Ed. I'm from a very rural background myself. My dad is a farmer and my mom is a cousin, so, like, it's not, like... What do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? I know it sounds like the start of a bad joke, but that really was my reality nine years ago. I just normally do straight stand-up, but this is a bit different. On stage stood a comedian with a story that no one expected to hear.

Well, 22nd of July 2015. A 23-year-old man had killed his family. And then he came to my house. So what do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? A new podcast called Wisecrack, where stand-up comedy and murder takes center stage. Available now. Listen to Wisecrack on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,

or wherever you get your podcasts. This is a tape-recorded statement. The person being interviewed is Krista Gail Pike. This is in regards to the death of a Colleen Slimmer. She started going off on me and I hit her. I just hit her and hit her and hit her. On a cold January day in 1995, 18-year-old Krista Pike killed 19-year-old Colleen Slimmer

in the woods of Knoxville, Tennessee. Since her conviction, Krista has been sitting on death row. The state has asked for an execution date for Krista. We let people languish in prison for decades, raising questions about who we consider fundamentally unrestorable. How does someone prove that they deserve to live? We are starting the recording now. Please state your first and last name. Krista Pike.

Listen to Unrestorable Season 2, Proof of Life, on the on. iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What about just the NFL and is there like a sisterhood amongst like wives? And I mean, is that is that a real thing? Is there a community there? Yes, there is. There is. Where there's like, it's like almost a support, many support group without it being an organized support.

group right it's right well here's and this is what i we actually had a woman's uh luncheon thing and here's what i like kind of like to say these women it is people you can try to rely on your family and and talk to them about these things that are happening on the field or if they get injured things like that but a lot of people in the back of their mind are going well they get they get they get set you know they the injury they'll they'll heal um what what's great about the sisterhood of nfl wives and girlfriends is you can rely on them to understand that them just getting injured isn't like a oh they'll heal these guys work incredibly hard they get injured their whole like like their life changes in a way and yes they get paid a bunch but that doesn't take away from

the fact that all of a sudden, you know, you're in one place for six weeks and then you get traded and you have to completely move your family. And these are things that women in this league understand. And so to reach out and talk to those women about it, you get this sense of community of like, okay, we're not in it alone. These people understand where I'm coming from. So that's really nice. And also just the fact that, you know, on Sundays, all of our men are out there and anything can happen. And so to rely on each other a little bit is important. And now I'm really old in that game. Like I, you know, with Matthew being in league for so long and every year there's a new crop coming in and they're 21, 22, that usually means

their wives or girlfriends are also the same age. So that sometimes there can be a, not a disconnect within the wives group, but like I used to look at the women. when I came in that had the kids being like, ooh, they're old. And so I'm like, I'm trying, like, again, you can relate to things that might not, like in life, I might not be able to relate to a 22-year-old in general. But in this community, I can.

Because we're going through the same thing. Yes, that I was. And we're going through the same things during the season. So it's nice. You know, Taylor Swift has brought these. eyes to the wives and girlfriends, which I find really interesting because everyone's always like, what's it like? I'm like, it's pretty normal. I mean, I wake up every morning. I get kids up. I feed them. And, you know, all these people are like, ooh, let's do a documentary. Let's do a reality.

I'm like, no, we're not interesting. Literally not interested enough. Like, we are, and I do feel like that's how most these women feel. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you feel like you are, people look up to you or they ask you questions or are they you're de facto mentor not someone who they you know what I mean I'll say this I feel like some women have learned what not to do through some of the things that maybe I have done really oh yes I mean how so what what are some things just interactions with I've had you know I've gotten a little fiery um in the stand sometimes in the media and there is like there I think there's a happy medium I don't think that we should have to be silent not say anything if people are you know heckling whatever but there is a happy medium

there and I've crossed that line so I do think that maybe they can learn what not to do be like oh yeah that didn't go over well for Kelly so maybe we don't do that but you know at the end of the day, I feel like we're all kind of just in it doing the same thing. You know, we're loving the people out there. We're trying to make it as easy as possible for them when they come home so that they can do their job. And then off season, we are all just wondering what's next. Because on any given, now Matthew and I are very fortunate that he hasn't been traded or, you know, well, he has been traded. But like not a lot. Or that they're just like bouncing teams. We've been very fortunate. But most women when this season ends their future of their families up in the air yeah um and so that is

that's tough but we again i was the Detroit move something you welcomed or was it like oh shit I mean wow you mean the trade to like trade yeah coming to L.A or was it like oh fuck let's go to L.A you know what we we talked about you know he went in and asked for that trade and we talked about it before and it was very known like okay well where i once he goes in like we are moving as a family so we had to come to just like terms with that before he even went in and asked um you know we we we were thinking indiana we we we never thought L.A because they just signed Jared to that contract and so um when L.A. became an option or like a front runner it was it was it kind of blew my mind. I will say one thing. Like I said earlier, I born in the South,

Midwesterner, and now L.A., and I was like, ooh, that's a little intimidating. You know, I don't know what to expect in L.A. Turns out we love it. But it was exciting. I'm also a very big family, like my family's very close, and they're all in Georgia. So Detroit wasn't far. That was easy. Right. L.A. is really far. Yeah. And the time changed. I didn't really understand how much harder that would make it. So that was hard for me. It still is hard for me being away from family like that. But it was something that I knew I wanted for my husband.

He wanted for himself. I wanted him to have a shot. And with the way Detroit was turning over again, over again. And I really thought, honestly, that it would benefit both sides. Yeah, it did. I mean, look what's happened. I know.

So it is, and I'm so happy for that city because, gosh, that is such a great city. Yeah. And it is, it revolves around sports. So it is, it's fun to be in when, when you're good. It's a little harder to be in when you're not so good. But those fans are passionate at the end of the day. So as hard as it was to leave Detroit, now that we're here, I'm so happy, because I was just, I was a little nervous, but I, we love it here.

Yeah. Incredible community. Do you guys ever talk about, now look, you know, the Rams have, you know, they got Cub and Nakua and they got, you know, great running back. And I mean, obviously you guys are, I mean, you're banged up, right? But you've done well, Super Bowl, everything's looking pretty good, right? Yeah. Yeah.

Is there any world, you know, you've created this other life for yourself here in L.A., not to say that you've let go of your Detroit sort of routes as far as rooting for the city goes. But does there ever look back and saying, oh, Dan Campbell's there, you've got some ballers. If Matthew was there during this time, is there ever any talk of that of like, man, well, I wonder what would have happened if I was there. Not to take anything away from golf because, by the way, I know him a little bit. He's doing great. He's doing great. And he's a really nice person. They're and his wife's incredible.

I love their amazing people. I'm so happy for them. Not taking anything away from that, but is there any, was ever any thought of like, man, I wonder what would I would do if I was there now? You know what? I don't think we've ever really thought about it because that team wouldn't be that team unless we left because they got all the picks. They got certain things for him. So I don't think we've ever gone there. Now, will I be jealous if Jared and Kristen, well, Jared, I always include the wife because I think they're a part of it.

Jared and Kristen bring a Super Bowl to Detroit. Yeah. I'm going to the parade. I want to be a part of it. Yeah. You know, that would be, and I hope I, like, wanted to happen for them so bad. But, I mean, I'm human. Hell, yeah, I'd be jealous.

I'd be like, that place is going to be rocking. Yeah. And I would love to be a part of it. Kind of like the playoff game, turns out we got to be a part of it, just on the other side, the first home playoff game in however long. So it was cool to be there for it. Now, we were on the other side, so it was a little tougher. But, you know, that city is the people in it.

Everything about that place I loved. So there has never been talk about if Matthew was there because there's that he's not. We don't, he's not a real hypothetical guy either. He hates hypothetical. So I've learned that over my years. I don't even bring up anymore. But, no, I am, I would be so ecstatic for them. I'm and jealous at the same time.

Yeah. Yeah. But I don't, you know, I think it would be, it just wouldn't be the same if Nathie was there because it just wouldn't be the same team. So switching gears a little bit to your health situation, which I know you've talked about a million times, right? But when you discovered this brain tumor, were you, how long ago was this, by the way? This was 2019.

19. So, man, you, did you have all your kids? at that point? I had three of them. I sort of read about how it happened and how you felt like maybe we had vertigo and essentially basically you had an MRI and this is what you were diagnosed with.

You know, when you're going into a situation like that, especially with kids, you know, how do you just deal with the fear factor? I mean, I have anxiety. I'm in my 20s, I fucking lost my mind. And then I went on Lexa Pro. And then I have anxiety that is definitely manageable, but I can lose it. Right.

There are certain situations where I think, man, if I was ever, if this ever presented itself, specifically like what you went through, I don't know if it would be fight or flight. I don't know if something would take over my body where I'm like, okay, let's just deal with this. Or if I just completely lose it. Yeah. To be honest, I went into, we got to take care of it. Yeah, you did. I did.

I mean, between getting diagnosed in the surgery, I think it was maybe like three months, that was like weighing all of our options, meeting with different doctors. My husband during that time was a complete rock. I mean, I kind of took a back seat. He took the helm of it all and just scheduled all the appointments, figured it all out for me. going through it, I will say the one thing that kept me at bay was, well, there was two, him and also the fact that it was me

and not my daughters. I think if it were my daughters going, one of my daughters, I would absolutely have lost it. But because it was me, it was just kind of like, all right, well, this is the problem. These are the options. Let's pick an option and let's go with it. And that's kind of what happened.

You know, I just kind of put my head down and was like, let's go. If I would have lingered on it, I think it would have made it really much harder for me. I'm more of a person that if something needs to be taken care of, I want to take care of it. You knew it was benign, though, right? Yes, yes. It was like 99. Yes, it was benign.

Krista Pike. Listen to Unrestorable Season 2, Proof of Life, on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts so the risks so the risks of the surgery were i thought it was like a hearing loss thing it was obviously you had to learn to sort of you know rediscover mobile stuff and walking and speaking and all that the where the tumor was sitting it was sitting on um my balance my auditory in my facial nerve. So when I went in, they were like, your balance will probably, you know, you've probably already been compensating for your balance.

But they do this test, I think it was like the day before the surgery. And it turns out my brain had not compensated at all for the balance. So then they made me very aware, like, you're going to have to relearn, you know, the basics. My husband said the first night he came and saw me after the surgery because they wiped out my balance on that side. that they sat me up and I was you know I couldn't sit up on my own I was screaming that I was falling and it was and I think it really that scared Matthew he was like that was really you know just like holy shit this is going to be a lot harder

than maybe we both thought afterwards and then you know the the hearing it's muffled It's fine, though. I still have it. Like, that doctor's, and Dr. Thompson at U of M is incredible. He took his time with me, which I'm so grateful for. And then the facial, as shallow as it sound, was a huge deal to me. Yeah. Because, you know, if I can't hear, I can still live, like, feel like I could live a very normal life.

If I can't hear in one ear, I can hear in the other. But you changed completely what I look like. Yeah. And it would be a complete bell's palsy on my right side. That would that would be tough. And so the reason we picked that doctor, not only had he done a ton of these surgeries on this particular type of tumor, but he said, you know, if it's sticky,

if it's hard to get off your facial nerve, we're going to leave some of it because I don't want to create that bell's palsy and wipe out that nerve. So it was, you know, the whole process, was very well done, thanks to my husband, like getting to the surgery and getting out of it and rehabbing and all that. But again, like I, I, the flight or fight, like, I was like, we're fighting and we're just going to, we're going to get through it and we're going to do it quickly because I, especially with my three kids, I was like, I can't sit here and think about this

when I have three. I think they were not even two and a couple of, or a few months old, my third. And so I was like, I, this is more important to me than even taking the time to figure it out. Let's move on. Yeah, no, it's, it's true. And look, if this was going to happen, which it did, but if it was, and you were to have children, you almost couldn't ask for a more perfect age in the sense that they're not afraid. They're not cognizant isn't enough to know what the hell's going on. You know what I mean? So it's not. It's not. In their memory, there's no fear that mommy's, you know, going to look like this or not going to make it or anything like that. Yeah. Yes. And my husband with them, you know, with my almost two year old, he was like, I'm going to teach you how to whisper.

Because we didn't know if I would have my hearing or not. So he was like, if you do like have your hearing, I want them to, you know, kind of be the ones to tell you in a way. not that this is what happened but they learned they like whispered i love you always in my right year before the surgery um and then after the surgery and so it was kind of like a really cool moment of i could hear them before and i could still hear them after oh that's great was there was there was there any risk of like of not making it or was it i mean it's brain surgery that's what i mean yeah yeah it was 12 hours long when they went in i had an artery sitting in an odd place, which is so crazy because that doctor did a whole dissertation on that because you'd seen it one time before, and I had it.

And so they had to figure out a different way to go in. But, I mean, you think about that. You cut too deep right there, and that's an artery. Yeah. So, like, there, again, it's brain surgery. I feel like it's always any type of surgery you have those risks. No, there was not like a. Right.

Got it. It wasn't like an aneurysm where it could rupture. You know, there was nothing like. that. Um, so felt pretty good going into it. Did it change your perspective on things? Oh my gosh. I did. Like big time. 100. I mean, like you just, you go, you go through anything like that where, you know, a surgery like that, you realize why, why on earth am I worried about the small things? Why am I sweating it? I mean, what's important is my home, who's in my home. Um, my kids, my husband, in those relationships.

I would say it made for sure our family dynamics so strong. Matthew and I's marriage so strong. Again, like when you're relying, and I, my family, yes, they came up. My mom was a rock star, but Matthew was my main caregiver. And so you go through something like that in a marriage and it just, you really realize how much one you rely on one another, how much you respect one another and our, grateful for one another. It just changes everything and it changes what you care about.

Again, like football was life in Michigan, I feel like. Even when we had our kids, football was life. And we went through this and all of a sudden, our whole dynamic shifted. Ball became a job, but ball became what he did, not what our family revolved around. So I always tell people that I think it didn't happen to me. for me. Yeah. And it happened for my family.

So I am in turn grateful for it. Is there a genetic component to this? So this is interesting. If it were to develop on my left side, it is genetic and I would pass it down. So that's something that we have to watch going forward. You know, and I begged my mom to get tested and my dad. Yeah. They're like, yeah, yeah, we'll do it.

And they're just, they're living live. They're like, I don't want to know about this shit. Like, we're enjoying. We don't, we don't want to be stressed about this stuff. Yeah. So, yeah. Understandable. Yeah.

Understandable. Yes. But we don't have a ton of time, but I want to talk about your podcast for a second. Give me a little tidbit. What do you, what's your deal? It's kind of like how we, what we discuss on this, it's modern parenting. It's dealing with, you know, the pressures we put on ourselves on our kids, modern friendships. modern marriages, relationships.

There's been so much that has changed in the past, gosh, when did social media come about? I don't know, but it has changed our world and therefore has changed the way we live in our relationships and things like that. So we talk about it. We talk about all of our failures in every aspect, in every relationship. Just as you're more authentic, I feel like you get started. surrounded by authenticity, by people who are also the same. And it becomes a community where it is not based on, you know,

I just feel like the, the fakeness that comes with all social media, with everything these days, to have a community that's like, listen, this is the real, okay? If your kid's not potty trained by four, by three, it's okay. It's they're going to learn. Like, it's just like having that dynamic of hearing someone say it, that people think, like you're saying in the beginning of wise, that I have it all together, that my,

that everything is perfect around me. It's not. It's the furthest thing from it. You know, I fail at parenting my kids. I fail at marriage. I mean, so like it is, I feel like comforting to know that maybe someone that you think has it all together has it all together has come out and say and talk about the things that

and realizing that they don't have it together, that they can relax themselves. Yeah. And it goes both ways. You know, when I get feedback of, thank you so much talking about this, I've been struggling. Like, it makes me feel that I have a community and that I'm okay if I fail. So it's about that. There's very little football, although I do have a new podcast called Time Out.

That is all football. I do, yes. Oh, you got two. Again, thanks Taylor Swift. I mean, there are so many women that want to learn about the sport that want to hear about game days. So that is what that is. What is the Taylor Swift effect? I mean, has it been massive?

I mean, I kind of know. But, I mean, you probably have a better insight, honestly, than even the public. Like, has it just been a massive impact on the NFL? I see what y'all see, you know, with ratings and stuff like that. But with how many women who have come up to me who have never, ever cared at all about learning about football and asking me questions. And let me tell you something, I'm all for the questions, but in the middle of the game, don't ask me a question. Yeah. I'm not here to teach you.

You're focused. Yes, I'm making sure my husband is surviving. Yeah. So that I don't have time for, but it is very apparent that she has had a very large-scale effect on the women that are now getting, wanting to get involved, which is great. I think that is great. And it's great. Now I have two podcasts. So thank you so much, Taylor.

Yeah. And then you seem, and then we'll get out of here, but you seem like a very sort of unfiltered person who's going to say what they think and feel. You do have a husband who is, you know, somewhat of a celebrity, even if it's L.A., he's a Z list. But I still think he's a C. You know, I'm working my way from like a B minus to a B plus. You know what I mean? In my world, in my world, he's fucking A. Oh, you're very sweet.

But do you have to watch what you say? Or is Matthew just like, whatever, babe, like, go ahead. You know what? There are some times where I've put my foot in my mouth and we've had a discussion about it. I would say if it at all ever affects the locker room, that's a problem. And that's happened one time. I will never do that again because that was, I mean, I was like, oh, man.

You like speak out of turn a little bit? And all of a sudden he's catching, she's catching shit. Yes. It was horrible. So, like, yes, don't touch the, I think it are, what we have agreed on is don't touch the locker room. Yeah. And other than that, you're fine. Yeah. He also knows that I'm not going to go out there and say certain things, like, that might sell.

You know what I mean? But there is, that that is the one thing where he's like, you know what? Let's, let's keep that at, in the home and then everything else. is fine so yeah it is I do I'm very honest

about a lot of things in my life because I feel like I'm very content as to where I am now and once I do feel like once you reach that

that you can be vulnerable and honest and admit failures and admit things you've done that maybe you would want to take back now society

has a problem with accepting that kind of stuff these days but it's who I am, and I'm not going to change that. Yeah, that's great. Yeah.

Well, this has been a blast. Maybe I'll see it so far. You know, I'm a Broncos fan. I don't know if the Broncos play the rounds. I'm not sure. Congrats on your big win. I know. It's a good win.

That was a great win. Very, very ugly-ass game, but whatever. I mean, it doesn't matter. It's a win to win. And, you know, and maybe this is a season where we turn some things around. Bo looks good. I think he's going to, you know, he's going to move into himself.

I think he looks like a professional quarterback, though. You know what I mean? He's played a ton of college game. So he, there's a poise about him. So let's, let's see. And these young guys need time. I feel like people forget that. This is a whole different ballgame they're playing.

Yes. I mean, it is wildly different in the NFL. So these guys need some time. These are key quarterbacks I feel for. Tampa and the Jets. Those are two really good wins. Let's see what happens moving for. I didn't know y'all beat Tampa.

I don't think we beat Tampa the week before. That's a huge win. Yeah. Wow. Good for you guys. Okay. So, you know, we'll see. But I don't know. Does Denver play around? I don't think so. I don't think so. So maybe Matthew will have to play one more year so that maybe they'll play that division. Well, I'll come. I'll be at Sofi anyway. I love going to the games. But, well, I'd love to see you. Yeah. This has been a blast. I appreciate it. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you for having me on. I appreciate it. Yeah. All right. Have a good week. Okay. Bye. Everyone should go listen to her podcasts. Probably awesome, honestly. Really fun. So insightful, so honest, so unfiltered.

You can tell, you know, she just speaks her truth and how she feels. And she has just such amazing insight. Being a part of the league for this long, you know, dealing with her husband going to war every Sunday. Hopefully he comes home not dinged up for girls. I mean, yeah, there's a lot going on. there, but they seem to handle it amazing. Matthew, I've never met, but I've seen a bunch of footage on him. He just looks like the best dad ever.
