I hate gift giving and receiving.
Receiving gifts is so weird.
What do you say thank you?
This is Coffee Convo's with Kale Lowry and Lindsey Chrisley.
I really want you to be in your feels, Kale.
That does not interest me whatsoever.
I feel very attacked by you.
A spirited discussion about motherhood, friendship, family, and life in the public eye.
I'm just not with the fakery anymore.
There's a fakery bakery around here.
Here's Kailin Lindsay.
Good morning. Welcome to coffee combos podcast from my ex husband's house. Oh, this is not your house. No. Okay. I have
like footballs and shit in my bookshelves. I didn't notice
that they were footballs. But I also thought that I was like,
wow, she really set up her new house very quickly. So okay, so you're at Willard's.
Yes, I am. How are we doing?
Um, we're hanging in there. We got, um, you know what life is
life being really hard.
Life is definitely life being really hard. I was just having
that conversation with Kristin. When everything goes wrong.
Everything's wrong.
Everything goes wrong 100%. It's like, go hard or or it's not worth the
fuckery, right? Isaac started high school this morning. And so I went over to Joe's to send him
off because it's Joe's week and I cannot believe that I have someone in high school. I have a story
about starting ninth grade. I was so scared. It was the only year that I was in like public high
school was in ninth grade. And I don't know what my parents were thinking, but they immediately were
like, this is not working and pulled us out. And all of us started going to private school when I
was in 10th grade. So the youngers, I think one of them was in first grade and one was in kindergarten when they started private school
Ma'am, I have never been so traumatized in a hallway
Then public high school first of all wait, so your K through eight. Did you go to private school?
No, I was a public school girl. So you started private school in high school, which is I feel like more terrifying than going to
private school as a child.
So what was your, what was the story with high school?
Were you crying?
Cause I was.
Oh, I was absolutely just traumatized.
I mean, I was in public school before that.
It was just a completely different experience.
It was a very large high school. I think we had a class of maybe a thousand freshmen,
which is just big.
I never used my locker
because I was scared to go down the hallway.
That's number one.
So I carried all of my books and everything in my backpack.
What were you scared of?
Like the kids?
People and things.
Like there was random stuff that just would happen,
like girl fights in the cafeteria
boys fighting in the hallway
Principal got beat up
Drugs going on in the bathroom like all different kinds of stuff. So my parents were like absolutely not
After this year you're out. So we applied to private school and it's a whole thing
like you have to do an entrance exam and then you get scores back and then you apply to all of the local private schools. Several of us got into all schools.
One of us only got into one school. Who was the one? You? No. One of us only got into one of the schools, which is why we all ended up going to
that school. Okay. I graduated with a class of 39. Oh, and yes, that was even more scary going into
private school with it being your first year because a lot of kids, they called it like from
alpha to omega. So they started in kindergarten in that school and went all the way through 12th grade.
Right. So they already had their cliques and their their little
groups. And once you kind of have that you're not getting in.
Yeah, like going into already established friend groups.
That's really hard. And so we moved around a lot whenever I
was a kid. And I told Will when
I got pregnant with Jackson, I said, wherever he starts is where he will finish. Like there
will be no moving because I feel like I had trauma from that because I was always having
to make new friends, which is good in some sense, like in my adult life. But for my raising,
I don't feel like it's conducive for children.
I 100% agree with you.
I moved into four different districts growing up.
I moved once in elementary school, twice in middle school, and then my last move was finally
in high school, which was 10th grade.
I don't care how resilient you think kids are, removing them from the friends that they
know just because you want to, not because there's an external factor, whether it's resilient you think kids are, removing them from the friends that they know
just because you want to, not because there's like an external factor, whether
it's like, you know, a death in the family. Like, if it's not required, I just don't
think it's not like... I refuse to remove my kids from where they know and where
they've been. Isaac is going to a different high school this year because
that's what he wanted and I told him, you know, he started to have second thoughts about it.
And I was like, you know what?
I said, take this opportunity to go to this school.
If you get there and you're halfway through the year and you're like, I want to go back
to where I came from.
You can always do that.
I said, but I don't want to, I don't want you to miss this opportunity because once
we pull you from this school, you can't, you don't get to go back.
You don't get to, you don't get to try again.
So and, and again, it was because he wanted to try to go to a different school. So to
me, I've had enough trauma moving schools that I don't care if they're in fifth grade,
I don't care if they're in first grade. If it's not absolutely necessary, absolutely
the fuck not.
So many people have asked me, actually, since I moved, they were like, is Jackson moving schools?
And I said, no, because we can still use Will's address for the primary because in our custody
paperwork, I am primary parent.
Okay.
Well, everything goes to my address, but for the purposes of school, to keep him from having
to move, we're just going to use Will's address to keep him in the district, which is totally fine.
But I'm having a little issue because Jackson, kids just like want to do stuff that is different
to them, I think.
So he's like, oh, I should go to this elementary school or I should go to this middle school
since it's closer to your house.
And I'm like, no, you need to stay with your established friends.
Like you've been with them since kindergarten.
So let's just stay doing that.
And now he thinks that he's homeschooling for middle school.
That's our most recent conversation as of yesterday
that he's homeschooling.
But I do think that that every kid goes through.
There was a period where I was like,
if you're gonna take me out of school, just homeschool me.
Like I don't wanna make new friends.
That was like detrimental to, it was like social suicide.
Everyone, I think every kid has wanted to experience homeschooling at some point. We did during COVID.
Correct. And I am not equipped, I'm not smart enough, I'm not brave enough, I am not
good enough to educate these fucking kids. I'm going tell you that right now. Like I, we need to pay teachers more
so that they can continue to do what they love to do
because I am not cut out for teaching.
So I actually posted that on my Instagram yesterday
about not being qualified.
And so many people sent me messages back
and they were like, you absolutely are qualified.
You're the most qualified person for your child.
And I'm like, here's the thing.
I'm not because I am the videos that you see of people trying to
teach their kids like just standard mathematics where I'm
going crazy with the eraser. Being like, that's not fucking
it. Like, that's not fucking it. Yeah. One. Can you not get it?
I know I get it. I fully get it. And I'm with you.
Like, I see you, I feel you, I hear you, all the things.
No, high school, I cried for weeks and weeks and weeks
before high school because I was so fucking scared.
And truly, high school really fucked me up, honestly.
Outside of that, my son also enrolled us in some sweepstakes to go to the Bahamas.
I'm in a public bathroom.
He goes to the men's, I go to the women's bathroom.
I guess he had to pee less than I did.
I don't know, or he either didn't wash his hands, whatever, comes out of the bathroom.
I walk out into a hallway and see him filling out paperwork for himself to go to the Bahamas.
And I'm like, sir, you had to be 18 years old to do that.
And he was like, well, if you don't want to go, you don't have to go, but I'm going to
the Bahamas.
I'm like, no, you aren't.
If you don't take that boy to the Bahamas, who's birthday is coming up?
Skip the party, do the Bahamas.
Gosh, he actually asked me yesterday.
He was like, what are we doing for my birthday this year? Do your kids ask you that?
Oh, yeah every year I told Lincoln we're not doing a party. We're not doing a party for the twins
We didn't do a party for Rio. We did like a little
picture
backdrop
cakesmash video and pictures that I actually printed out and I thought that was cute so I said that's what we're doing for the twins
Nobody's coming to hang out with twins.
Like that's just, they're babies.
That's not happening.
So we're gonna do a little cute little backdrop.
And then same for Lincoln's a month before Jackson.
And I said, we're not doing a party.
What do you wanna do?
He said, I wanna meet soccer players.
And I'm like, you've lost your,
I don't know where to find those things.
So.
Like how do we just meet, what is it?
Christian Ronaldo? Yeah, like how do we just meet? What is it?
Christian Ronaldo?
Yeah.
Like, how do we?
I don't know.
But I will say, Lincoln got picked while we were in New York together last weekend.
We hobby called me to tell me that Lincoln was picked to play in Spain.
He went to this camp, the soccer camp over the summer in Virginia.
And from there, they picked like a certain number of players that were part of the camp
to go play in Spain in Madrid
So that is happening like a week after his birthday
So wow, so will he like be out of school? Yeah. Well, it falls over Thanksgiving
So we will be going to Spain for Thanksgiving. Wait you and all of your other children. Yes
I'm not gonna bring the babies. But yeah, are you
Like happy are you nervous? No, I'm not gonna bring the babies. But yeah. Are you like happy? Are you nervous?
I'm super excited. I was planning a trip to Europe for spring break. But now I emailed the agent and I was like, hey,
like, I actually need to move this to Spain specifically. And
we're gonna go there for the week, I guess for Thanksgiving.
I don't even know. I'm, I just like can't, it just all happened
so fast. And then and then hobbyavi and his family are going to go. So that'll be interesting.
I mean, I don't think that we're going to spend like quality time together, but we'll
both of our families will be in Spain at the same time. That's kind of fun though. Yeah.
For Lincoln, it'll be really good for Lincoln and we'll be able to do our own thing and
then come back to the camp area to watch him do like his scrimmages and then, you know, we'll be able to do our own thing and then come back to the
camp area to watch him do like his scrimmages and stuff, which will be cool.

Outside of that, I need to update you on the weather here. It is like fall the past couple
of days. And I think it's teasing because someone told me at Jackson's football game on Saturday,
they were like, well, it's going to be the hottest week of the year, like as in this week. And I swear that's why people get sick here.
Probably.
Because it goes from like fall, like cool, breezy
in the evening to then you wake up
and it's 95 fucking degrees outside
and you don't know how to dress.
It's like you're wearing sweatpants
first thing in the morning, then you need shorts.
It's like, you've got to do like the whole layering situation.
Not very fun.
Also, ma'am, when I left New York, get home, get settled in.
Five o'clock the next day, it hit me out of nowhere.
You would have thought it was like a stomach virus or something.
It just hit me out of nowhere.
Got the vid.
Got the vid.
Well, I got the, while we were in New York,
you saw me get the IV.
I had the doctor come give me an IV at the hotel
because I was like, I just feel like I'm getting sick.
I hope I didn't have it and give it to you.
I didn't think I did.
So I'm just putting that out there right now.
I hope that you're feeling better now.
Oh, it took me straight out.
Like I was in the bed, I was on the phone with Kristen.
Okay, so get COVID.
I'm like, I'm not gonna be good.
Like I need to get a test to my house, like ASAP.
Also had Jackson, also had football practice
every day whenever we got back.
I told Kristen, I was like, I don't think I can do this.
Like, I don't think I can life right now.
Um, I, I need to be on my back and not in a sexual way, not, no, no, no, not in a sexual way.
I get in the bathtub.
I'm on my phone bath.
The phone slips into the bathtub.
So any person out there that is an Apple user,
I hope it's all of you, because if you're Android,
I have a lot of questions.
It's not waterproof.
What?
The iPhones that say that they're like waterproof
or water resistant, no, they're not.
Why do you say that?
Because my phone literally fried.
So did you have to go get a new one?
Oh, this was a whole experience. So mind you, to go get a new one? Oh, this was a whole
experience. So mind you, I'm basically on my deathbed. I have no phone to be able
to contact anybody, so I'm trying to get on my laptop so that I can text from my
laptop. Okay. I still have some stuff over at my old house. Some of my stuff is at
my new house, so I thought all my backup phones were at my old house.
Well, they weren't.
I randomly like found them laying around my new house.
So take that phone, this little dusty rusty guy right here
to get it plugged up.
So I at least had like something to use in the meantime.
I don't understand about the phone insurance.
What businesses can like shut down for three to five
days for you to get a replacement? Like I use my phone
for business. Yeah. So like, what are you supposed to do? What
if I didn't have this like dusty rusty backup? They don't. You'll
get it'll you have to wait like two to three business days to
get a replacement phone. And you're like, what am I supposed
to do for that time? I don't
know.
But what do the people that don't have backups do just go
without a phone?
I think so. I think so.
Because the way that you feel disconnected from life.
No, because I've had to just flat out say fuck the insurance,
I'll just buy a new phone today.
Like, I have your scam.
I think that is the scam.
Cause they're like, okay.
And then you only have X amount of time to return it.
And once you've already set it up for like the three days
until you get your replacement phone or whatever,
you've already set it up and you know what I mean?
So I think that's the scam.
I mean, I have literally done it not just for myself
but I've done it for my kids before because I, you know,
right now nobody has phones I took them away
again but um yeah that's the scam I think they do that on purpose. It's so ridiculous so I'm
working off like this little dusty rusty phone the picture quality is absolutely atrocious like it
looks like I'm taking pictures from like 1990 on a Polaroid. First world problems first world problems but
like 1990 on a Polaroid. First world problems.
First world problems, but so when will you get your new phone?
It's supposed to come today and I don't have any time to go and get it connected today or possibly tomorrow.
So it might be Wednesday by the time that I get it connected.
However, when your phone gets water damaged, if your stuff's not backed up on your phone, you can't get it off.
So that's where I'm at.
Like all my text threads, like everything's gone.
Can you turn the phone on at all?
Oh, it turns on and then it'll say like the temperature thing on the front and it'll just
sit there and it'll be like the phone has to like regulate temperature or whatever.
And then it'll go away from that and Apple will come up and it'll turn on for a split second.
And then it'll turn right back off and it'll just like keep doing the same thing over and over again.
Damn.
So also considering investing in a digital camera and taking photos that way.
Yeah.
Because if your phone ever gets water damaged and you have not backed it up, everything
is lost.
All your memories are gone.
Yeah.
I've experienced that too because I don't ever back up to an iCloud or anything like
that because I'm scared of getting hacked or whatever.
So pretty much I don't have anything that I didn't print off that I don't have, I don't
have it.
I don't even have them on.
Oh, an entire relationship of mine. photos are so that's where
we are. It's also college football season. And I'm
excited.
Well, you're in the right place. Yeah. What I said, you're in
the right place for that with all the footballs in the
background.
I bought this hat yesterday. Clemson plays Georgia on Saturday. Sorry, I got the
vid cough. I'm hoping I'm fully better by then because we are going to wild out.
Well, I hope you are too. In the meantime, let's talk about us getting our cats waxed
in New York City. Oh, how was your experience? Well, it had been a cool four years
since I had been waxed. I stopped waxing probably around the time that I got pregnant with Creed
because also I was pregnant. I didn't know. I don't know. Can you get pregnant while waxed?
Can you get waxed while pregnant? I didn't even ask, but then also COVID happened, so I couldn't,
and then I just never went back.
It's also an hour from my house so that's also just like it ends up being like a full day fucking a half day excursion which is a pain in my ass. So I recorded which is probably not allowed,
it's probably illegal but I recorded myself so I will attach the video when this episode airs
attached to the video when this episode airs of my face while I was getting waxed. Lindsay's wax took a cool three minutes and I looked at the lady and I said, I'm not like her.
Like it's a jungle down there. And so she thought that was hilarious. And I was basically
crying like the 40 year old virgin. So wait a minute, so did you have like a bush?
What were you working with?
Pretty much, yeah, I mean, I hadn't waxed for like,
I mean, I hadn't shaved for at least three weeks.
Three weeks?
Yeah.
Does that not like itch you?
No.
So like when it starts growing out and you have the stubble,
that's itchy, right?
Yeah.
And then yours was like past the itch point.
Right, but you have to have a minimum
of two weeks length of hair.
So I was like, all right, I'll just leave it
when we decided we were gonna get waxed in New York.
So I was like, I'll just leave it.
But I don't know if that's actually truly accurate.
Maybe if you're going to get waxed
and you're not like a regular
waxer that's probably like the general rule of them. I never have a ton of hair
but I think it's because I wax so regularly that there's just not enough
time for it to grow. Where in comparison to your house is your like place that
you go? Oh ten minutes. See my thing too with one,
I don't want to get waxed in Delaware
because everyone in Delaware knows somebody that I know.
Like I don't care what confidentiality agreements
these people have signed.
There's nobody that is,
I don't want to call myself high profile
but higher profile around here.
And I know for a fact,
they're telling their fucking friends about waxing kale from teen moms
fucking cooch like I'm not with it. So much better getting waxed
in New York and then also driving the hour. So like I
could shower at 10am for an 11am appointment get there and I
feel like I'm not clean enough. Whereas if it was like 10 or 15
minutes away from my house, I would feel so much better
So I think I've decided I'm just gonna wax in other places. I don't need to wax in Dover. I don't need to walk
But see, I just don't think that's gonna work and logistically
This is why because you need to be on a regular routine If you want to get to the place of where I'm at, you have to go every like three or four weeks
to get it done.
So unless you're planning on going away from Delaware
every three to four weeks consistently,
then that's not gonna be an option.
I'm away from Delaware at least every two,
I mean, two weeks, three weeks.
Yeah, but close enough to where another waxer might be
like that's Kale teen mom and I just
You know ripped her shit. What do you mean? Like are we talking about Philly?
No, I'm saying like for example, I will be when I need to get waxed again
I will be in another state like I will be in Texas
Okay, so I also this this brings up a whole other conversation outside of wax.
Are you the type of person that once you find somebody that you love for something that
you want to consistently use them every time because that's how I am with my waxing?
I'm honestly shocked that I let you bamboozle me to do this situation together and not go
to my waxer.
I am that way with everything. So like once I find someone I
love and does a good job and then I really like I just keep
going to them. I've actually been having a hard time with my
eyebrows. I have been growing them out since like April because
I stopped going to the one girl that I had gone to for a long
time like years and then started going to this other girl.
And then I realized once the tint was wearing off, like it was coming off, I noticed that
my, she would just wax my actual eyebrow entirely too thin.
So I was like, okay, I love what it looks like when they're first, first done.
But after that, they're not like, they're so thin.
So I've been growing my eyebrows out since April. And I just can't bring myself to go
back to the original girl because she did some weird shit
and I was like, I'm not going back to you. unrelated to
eyebrows. And so I'm having a really hard time like I just
love what like once I'm loyal to someone in the service
industry, like I'm going to you until I fucking die.
Literally or until you do.
I feel like that with my hair person, my nail tech, my wax person, Pilates, I want to be
registered for the same instructor all the time.
I only let one person clean my teeth at my dentist office.
So if that, what do they call them?
A hygienist.
Hygienist.
Yeah.
If that hygienist isn't available, then I will just wait until that hygienist is available.
So you like try to schedule with that person?
I schedule specifically with that hygienist.
And I think it's, you get the better results when you stay consistent with someone because they learn you,
you know, it's like a relationship. I oftentimes say
what would happen if something happened to my therapist? Well,
you'd be shit out of luck. No, I know that. But I'm like,
like, you know, look, because you don't know anybody else to
that level. And your therapist knows you inside, like what would
happen?
And then you have to like explain everything from like a
built relationship of like years to somebody else. At that point,
I would just be a non therapy early.
You'd be like, I'm done with therapy. We're not going back.

Speaking of therapy, I know our listeners and you loved it. My parents loved it. I talk a lot about power in the paws. And I had had conversations with my therapist about like, I think that I have
slightly mastered power in the paws. Like I've gotten good at it. I'm not perfect at it, but
I've gotten a lot better at it. I said, so like, what's the next step from power on the pause. And she told me about
controlling the space in the place and the power of choice, which creates freedoms. And I really
loved that. So she was telling me that when I feel uncomfortable about a situation or something, then I need
to start learning how to control my emotions so that I can control the space and the place
that I am currently in.
And I have not perfected that.
Okay.
Well, that's going to take some time.
Yeah, it's going to take some time.
You should do it too.
I am, I'm going to be honest with you. Like behind the scenes, my life is falling apart right now. So I don't know if I have the capacity to do anything right now.
What do you mean?
Like to just therapy my life my way through life for the next couple weeks, I think it's going to be
my way through life for the next couple weeks, I think it's going to be. Okay. Are you the type of person, anyone who's listening to this, if you are actively in
therapy, when things start getting harder, like you're in a good place, but then you
hit a road bump, do you try to invest more time in therapy or do you stray away from
it altogether?
Um, both. I think it depends on the situation. There have been times where I've like needed
emergency therapy appointments. Like right now I need to do this and I've even gone to twice a week.
And then other times, like right now I'm kind of running from it. Like I'm just not,
I'm just not in the mindset to,
to therapy right now.
Is it because your mind's so consumed with like all the other things that are going on that you can't even fathom investing like an hour and doing it?
Cause I've been there.
Yes. I think it's that.
And I also think that it is not knowing,
I guess where to start or like how to approach
like certain subjects. Like I don't, like certain things just coming out of left field
that like are not on the track of like healing everything else that we've been working on.
Does that make sense? So it just feels like a wrench is being thrown in and I don't know
how to tackle that in therapy right now at this exact time
So I can just tell you I was at that place not too terribly long ago
And my therapist told me about journaling
she's always kind of advocated for that since the beginning since we started but
Really more so when I got in that place because my thoughts all felt so scattered like
everywhere that I didn't even know what I was going to
therapy for.
That's where I'm at. What is there to therapies right now
because what the fuck am I doing?
But I think you need to get a journal and like anytime
something comes up that is a trigger to like write that down
in your journal. So then when you are ready for therapy, when you go, even if it feels like
scattered and chaotic, you can tackle like down the list. And if I get into like
a really good place in life, which I'm not currently at, but when I am there,
then we'll like revert back and take care of like child, we might have a
session on childhood stuff
Okay, and so it's easy to
Anything that's like pressing that I'm struggling with that might be in that week or it was like a build-up whatever
that's gonna be tackled first and then
If I go to therapy and she's like, okay. Well, I don't really see a value in spending a whole hour doing this
Why don't we revert back to some of these things from other sessions that we need to like clear up and let's work on those
It's progress, but I promise it's so worth it and I feel like you would feel so much better
I mean, I would agree but I think too like just for anyone that that's listening and has thought about therapy or
anything like that, progress is not always linear.
It's not always upwards.
It's not always because I remember specifically like last year and the year before that was
I was constantly being attacked for, oh, but didn't you, I thought you were in therapy.
Oh, shouldn't you have learned this or that in therapy?
And therapy is, is sometimes sometimes you take steps backwards.
You're still human, you're still healing,
and that's a journey in and of itself.
But I think that right now I just don't even know.
You have to be in a place to commit to therapy.
And right now I think I'm in a place
where I have to take a step back
so I can realign myself, my thoughts, my everything,
so that when I go back into
therapy, I'm like, okay, this is what we need to tackle and this is where we need to go.
Because I don't really know where to go from here. There's a lot of thoughts going on.
I think you're right. I think I'm going to take your advice on the journaling right now
and then I'll know where to start back up with therapy.
And you're totally right that therapy is not a linear journey. Same way as grief, right? Like you, there are multiple stages of grief,
and you can feel like you're in final stages of grief, and then
you've reverted back to phase one of grief. It is not a linear
journey. And that's okay.
It's a it's a learning. The whole journey is a learning
process.
Absolutely it is. Did you get to watch the Scott Peterson docu-series on peacock? I did
And I am a little bit pissed off that I wasted my fucking time watching that because there was no
There was nothing new there outside of him telling lies
So I was equally
Disappointed in the documentary. I thought that we were going to find out more
information or there was going to be something that would be groundbreaking. I think new
information. Yeah, I think I can collectively say for all of us, us as hosts, and then people
who are listening, none of us asked for this documentary, like, not one single
one of us asked to actually see his fucking lying smug face. It was a whole lot of not taking
accountability, making excuses and truly did a very poor job at trying to convince us that any of
this was like, not him. I know that previously I have been like, okay, maybe Scott didn't
do it. There's possibilities that he didn't do it. And while I still stand on that, like
this is strictly a circumstantial case, it's just overwhelming with the circumstantial
evidence. And I do, I do still believe that like, according to the justice system, if
you were going to let off people like OJ Simpson and Casey Anthony, then it also needed,
he also needed to be let off from a legal standpoint, but from a moral, ethical, like,
I'm on Team Lacey and Connor until the day I die standpoint, he is exactly where he needs
to be.
I just think that it was incredibly irresponsible, truly, for the filmmaker of this documentary specifically
to put something out like this.
I mean, no accountability, no persuasion
that you didn't do it, like truly making excuses
and just being completely not giving a fuck.
So in the last episode, when we talked about
the documentary of Lacey Peterson that was on Netflix,
I felt a completely
different way about it. There was a lot of things that were in there that either I had
forgotten or I never knew. And I liked the angle that they came at with the documentary.
And this three-parter, I didn't like it at all. I felt like it was a bunch of excuse making to try to essentially manipulate the
public around this case to cause more question. I don't think that there is any question anybody
who's followed this case to question if the evidence was circumstantial or not circumstantial.
I don't think that was ever brought into question. Do I think that he should have been convicted based off of what they had?
Probably not.
But just as a normal human being who wasn't serving on a jury in this trial, do I think
he did it and do all the stars align?
Absolutely.
Yeah.
The Lacey Peterson one on Netflix definitely convinced me beyond any reasonable doubt in
my own personal opinion.
But I'm also I read some stuff about Scott Peterson's sister-in-law being in love with
him because why isn't his brother speaking and she is and they're like something isn't
right here.
So I thought that was an interesting take.
What?
Yeah, I was reading like theories online saying like,
what the fuck is wrong with everybody like not picking up
on his sister-in-law is speaking on Scott
and like advocating for him and like defending him
and doing all of these things for him.
But where is her husband who is Scott's brother,
who is not appearing on that documentary on Peacock anywhere?
Why is the sister-in-law speaking so highly of him
because you're fucking in love with him?
Could you imagine like the turmoil that that would create internally in a family? I don't
care if it was 20 years ago, 30 years ago, however long ago it was, of one person singularly
taking side on this situation in a fucking documentary and their spouse that is a brother of this
person is not participating. That's fucking weird.
It would be like me going missing and Elijah not speaking on it, but his brother speaking
on it. That would be, I would think his brother did it. What's that? I would think his brother
did it. Oh, see, I was thinking then maybe she knows something that none
of us thought maybe they were having an affair and she did it. Like I don't like to me, there's just
so many like if, if the roles were reversed, and it was a woman though, and a woman goes missing,
and the brother in law was speaking on it, I would think immediately you attack the woman for having
an affair with this person. Why has that not been brought into question about Scott and his sister
in law, right? But those were my concluding thoughts were just that it was a waste of my time to watch
that. And he did a poor job convincing us of anything. So that's kind of where I'll
leave that.
So I do have a couple things that I want to ask you about the burglary that took place
across the street. I was convinced up until this documentary
that she never confronted those people,
maybe never saw those people,
had nothing to do with that situation whatsoever, right?
But after hearing the phone call recordings
of the man who reported that he saw her
with people from a van
and how his wife didn't want him to get involved
in any of it and to like leave it alone.
I don't think that some innocent bystander random person
would have reported something to the police
if that didn't actually happen.
Okay, okay.
Right? Right.
So do we think that maybe she did have involvement with those people
in that van and then they just let her go? Like how do we explain that situation away?
You're talking about the lady who reported the van and the burglars, right?
Yeah. That was not able to be corroborated in any way because she kept changing her story and
the color of the van.
But there was also there was also a man that reported that he saw a pregnant woman near
railroad tracks, I think, and she had to pee or something.
Okay, that part I don't know.
I know that lots of people reporting seeing this woman walk her dog.
And my theory on the dog walking situation
is just that everybody gave a different time
and they were all sort of after the time
that the detectives and the investigators thought
that Scott would have killed Lacey.
Personally, I just think that the time was off.
Like I think that, because in my opinion,
if I was to look out my window right now
and I see someone walking down the street,
my first thought is not to look at the clock.
So I am already hearing about this case.
I then called to report in that I saw this person
and I'm already sort of have like a subconscious bias
about the time or like what the theory is
or like what time I, like you don't know what time it was.
So I think it's the same kind of thing with the van.
I think these people saw her walking the dog,
but I don't think that it was after 10, 15.
I think it was significantly before that.
So I'm in agreement with you.
That was my initial thoughts about the timeline, right?
Your first thoughts are never going to be like,
oh, if I looked
out Will's window right here and I saw some pregnant woman walking with a dog, I would
never be able to go back and definitively pinpoint the time that was other than the
fact that I was on a recording and it could have been between these hours and this hour,
right? Right. You think she took the dog on a walk, explain how the dog got loose, or what you
think how the dog got loose, and then where did Scott get her to do whatever he did to
her? Is it possible that she walked the dog way earlier in the day and Scott scooped her
up? Or is it possible that it wasn't even that morning, that specific
morning and that he let the dog loose with the leash out the door on his own.
That's true too.
That's true too.
I think that it was a very premeditated situation just based off of the evidence that they do
have him getting the fishing license, going 90 miles away to fish the homemade anchors.
I think this was a long thought out process that he had.
And you can't convince me, you can't convince me that he did not do it.
And I think the only reason that the innocence project is involved in it is
truly from a technicality standpoint and the fact that
they should not have been able to convict based off of circumstantial evidence.
Right.
No, I agree with you there.
Final thoughts done.
Final thoughts concluded.
All right.
I have a couple of questions for y'all.
What if you could take a weekly shot to lose weight and keep it off?
You lose weight, it comes back,
you lose it again, it comes back again. If this cycle sounds familiar to you, there's a better and
more sustainable way to lose weight. So if you've heard of Ozempic or Wigogi, you've probably heard
these three things. They're effective, but they're expensive and they're hard to get. But that's where
Roe comes in. Through Roe, you can access prescription compounded GLP-1s with the same weight loss
ingredient as brand name GLP-1s at a fraction of the cost.
Roe has compounded GLP-1s in stock now. You can get it in one
to four days if you qualify and Roe members have support
through the process. If eligible for medication, patients have
access to their provider on demand for any questions. You
can see if you qualify from the comfort of your own home.
That means no scheduling a doctor's appointment, no commute to the doctor's office, and no waiting rooms.
It prescribes your medication ships directly to you in one to four days.

I got some jail tats.
I got coffee combos, little blurb right here on my hand, because this is my mic hand if
I was to be at a live show per se.
And I got seven of hearts for my seven babies.
I got a little bumblebee for Versi- verse and a paper plane on my neck.
I love when I was looking at your Instagram while I was laying in the bed dying. I loved
seeing the video of Matt Matthews saying that you got a jail tap.
Matt Matthews was like, what the fuck is that? He noticed it right away and was like,
what the fuck is that? Also Isaac noticed it right away. And Elijah noticed it right away and was like, what the fuck is that? Also, Isaac noticed it right away. And Elijah noticed it
right away. Lincoln was like, wait, is that new? Like he like
wasn't sure. Yeah. So I thought that was really funny. But I my
only regret is I should have got the neck tat a little bigger.
Oh, you wanted it bigger? Yeah, I should I should get maybe
another one. But I think that maybe you were swayed in the sizing
based off of my sizing of the tattoos I got.
Oh, yours are itty teeny tiny bitty.
Itty bitty, look at how little, look at how little.
I can't even see that because it's so small.
They're so cute though.
So I got Jackson's birthday in Roman numerals.
I've wanted to get that tattoo for years.
A little cardinal right here.
And that's because I see cardinals all the time.
Like ever since my granddaddy died, I see them everywhere.
That's how I feel about grandma Carol, my mom.
And she was a cardinall.
Yeah, she, Blue Jace and cardinals,
she would always, like if I was at her house, she would always spot them out
and be like, you see it?
And she had bird books and binoculars, like look at the birds.
So that's really cute.
Actually.
That's really cute.
I love it.
And when I started dating Trent, we would see them all the time.
Like in his yard, I have one that lives.
He must live like somewhere near my new yard because I see him flying every morning same time
It's weird like they have patterns. They definitely have patterns
schedule honey, it is a scheduled Cardinal so
Got that a dragonfly for my papa
There's meaning and story behind that.
The coffee convo's chat bubble,
and a cross for the Lord, period.
Did Jackson notice them?
Did you show him?
Oh, I showed him, but he doesn't,
he's like, if they make you happy, I love them.
If they make you happy, I love them.
We love a supportive king, truly.
I really thought that the reaction would be different
since I don't have any and since Will's so against tattoos.
Oh, what did Will say?
He was like, why did you choose self-mutilation?
Me putting balm on mine right now.
I need to get some of that, by the way.
Can you send me the link?
Yeah, I will.
Wait, self-udilation is crazy.
I mean, it definitely is a form, like it definitely is a form of like self-inflicted pain for
sure.
Yeah.
So that was his thoughts on them, but they are just so tiny and so cute.
And honestly, I think they're a representation of things that matter to me in my life.
And also I think this is what somebody would expect
if I was ever getting a tattoo.
I'm just so glad we got to go together.
I know, it was definitely fun.
Outside of that, can I tell you about,
you know how you talk about dementia
and how you're so like afraid to get it?
Yes.
Okay, so I saw this article come up on CNN and it says, imagine you and your sister,
66 year old twins on Medicare who share the same family history of Alzheimer's disease,
making an early diagnosis critical for long-term planning and preventative health care.
Since Medicare provides coverage for cognitive screening as part of each year's wellness visit, you believe that diagnosis, if needed, will occur.
Let's say you live in Hartford, Connecticut.
Your sister is some 26 miles away
in Springfield, Massachusetts,
so close that you often chair Sunday dinners.
Yet according to a new study,
you are 18% more likely to obtain a diagnosis
of dementia in Hartford than your sister in Springfield.
People ask, how could this be?
According to Medicare data, the healthcare system in Connecticut may be doing a better
job than Massachusetts of screening and diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease or related dementias
in referring patients to specialists.
And that was from a lead study author and professional professor of internal medicine
and geriatric and palatative medicine of the University of Michigan.
It says that such disparities happen across the United States. In fact, depending on your zip
code, you may be twice as likely to be diagnosed in some areas of the country as others.
That's really interesting.
in some areas of the country as others. That's really interesting.
Yeah.
There's a ton of information on this article.
It goes into like all the data and whatever,
but I think that is so crazy that based off your zip code,
you could have a higher likelihood to get dementia.
I, that terrifies me.
So I'm gonna like look into that.
I also I don't think I ever
posted a doctor, the scientist.
He's a neuroscientist that I follow
on TikTok and he talks about ways to
prevent Alzheimer's.
I don't think I ever posted
his link on TikTok or whatever.
So I'm going to make a little note
right now to post
the link for that.
So it says that research has shown the largest percentage
of Alzheimer's and dementia cases occur in the Southeast
known as the stroke belt because deaths from stroke
are two or four times higher in those states
than other regions.
Obesity is widespread across the US
as in high blood pressure, type two diabetes,
heart disease and other conditions
that contribute
to dementia. The highest diagnosis of dementia are in the South. Oh. So like maybe you're
going to be fine. I wonder. Well, I don't think so because my grandmother died of it.
So is it, is it like a genetic? I think there's a genetic component. I don't think that it's always genetic,
but if I'm not, let me look it up.
Is Alzheimer's hereditary?
I think it's a component of it.
People who develop Alzheimer's do not always have a history
of the disease in their family.
Still those who have a parent or sibling
diagnosed with the disease have a higher risk
of developing Alzheimer's than those
without that association.
So obviously it was my mom's mom that had it, not my mom, but I, for my mom being as
fucked up as she is, she's overall pretty, pretty healthy person.
And I just, something tells me by the way life, life's for me, it's going to skip my
mother.
My mother is going to get off scot-free or is it scotch free or scot free?
Scott scotch.
She's gonna get off the hook. I don't know. Somehow, all the
trauma that I've endured in my life is still not going to get
me off the hook for Alzheimer's. So I'll be eating all the foods
that the neuroscientist says like help prevent Alzheimer's
because there's a lot of
Like what?
There's like I think berries are really big for it. Hold on and go look on the guys
He's like really informative and he talks about like all the things. Okay Alzheimer's. I feel like I'm definitely gonna get it. I
It's one of my because it's like once you're so
far out of it, like just kill me like just kill me because I'm
not. I don't want my kids I don't want to be a burden on my
kids. I don't want to have my kids spending money that they
could have for their own families on my care when I'm
not even there like and I get it that that mentality and that
you know, decision is not for everyone.
But for that, send me to DC and take me the fuck out.
See, I don't know.
I feel like I would still want to be alive,
but not bothering anybody.
And I get that too.
I get that too.
Neuroscientist.
I don't think that I'm going to participate in, you know, trying to end myself because
I have dementia, but I don't want to bother anybody.
The scientist's name is Robert Love and you can find him on TikTok. It's at Robert WB
Love and he has like 13 million, 5 million, 60 million views.
And he says, food, three foods.
Every woman over 40 needs to know about.
If you're new to my channel, hi, my name's Robert Love.
I'm a neuroscientist and I specialize
in helping people prevent Alzheimer's disease with science.
You may not know this, but women are twice as likely
to get Alzheimer's as men.
Women are 66% of Alzheimer's cases.. Women are 66% of Alzheimer's cases,
men are about a third of Alzheimer's cases.
And so this is really important for women
who want to maintain their brain health as they age
and reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease.
Foods really matter.
Here are three foods that can help protect your brain
and even improve your memory as you age.
Food number one, this is a delicious one.
It is blueberries and other fruits
like raspberries and strawberries
Why are berries so good for anyways? I'll post this video specifically
So that you don't have to watch the whole thing
But I mean he goes in depth like I want to know the food list like I need to be eating
So the first one is blueberries raspberries strawberries
The second one is leafy green vegetables. And the third
one is fatty fish.
Okay, so I'm great on the leafy green vegetables and the fatty fish. I don't like berries.
I don't I'm not a fruit girly. I have to be in a very specific mood for any type of fruit.
I don't eat fish and I'm not super big on like spinach and kale and things like that I mean, I'm gonna get better. I hope with that but
He also goes into like other videos about like foods that are actually going to increase the deterioration of your brain
So let's go classic on there
Probably I'll send you guys this
Alzheimer's okay. I'll send it. I'll send you guys this Alzheimer's. Okay, I'll send it.
I'll post it.
I just saw that article when it popped up
and I was like, wow, I need to tell Kayl about this

We have a couple of things from the Facebook group that I want to make sure we don't miss.
This person says, ladies, how soon is too soon to start dating again after a divorce? I'm in a weird
situation where I was very, very recently divorced and I've been
in therapy and really working on myself and wasn't even looking
for a relationship whatsoever. But in stumbles a really great
guy and now I'm finding myself catching feelings and I'm scared
because it feels too soon. I don't know if that's because I
feel like it's too soon or just scared of outside judgment.
Please help.
Okay, well, I think this is a varies by situation
kind of case.
I also went through this
and that was when I started dating suburban dad.
I felt like, okay, I was in a 10-year marriage and I need to give time to my healing
before I invest in something else. I need to learn my new normals and my new routine. I don't know if
this person has a child or not, but I think that that also should be taken into consideration when
considering moving on because post-divorce, you're juggling your emotions,
the emotions of your now ex-partner that can affect yours, and then also the emotions of
your child or children.
I remember, like I vividly remember getting ready to go to dinner with suburban dad for
the first time.
And I called my parents crying and telling them
that I didn't think that I could do it.
And my dad said, you need to set yourself up
in your mind that this is a get to know you dinner.
This is not, don't consider it a date.
It doesn't have to be considered a date.
Like you are going to dinner with someone,
you're going to get to know someone else.
If it goes somewhere, it goes somewhere. And if it doesn't, then great. You had a great dinner.
I have found myself, and I said this on book club last night, so the girls that are on here that
listen to coffee combos will know, I have found myself every time that I'm committed to being by
myself after a relationship, it's like another relationship smacks me dead in my face.
And it feels like a healthy one.
And so every single time I've taken that risk.
And so it hasn't always ended up great.
But I say all that to say, like, I have gotten to a place
where I absolutely love being by myself.
And it's hard for, I think think anyone to decide when they're ready
or when they're not ready or like what to do because it just will smack you in the face
when you don't even see it coming. And it's just as long as you have boundaries, I think
like Lindsay said, especially like if you have a child that's going to play that's
going to that's a factor in all of this, right? Like Lindsay said, get to know them, take
it slow. But I do also understand like the newness of a relationship
and wanting to go dive, just dive head first into it.
And so I don't know that this is a,
this is one of those things where you have to like
do it yourself to figure it out.
I don't think advice from anyone else
is really gonna give helpful information.
And I mean, my best advice,
even if you're coming from a divorce or somebody
that's getting out of a relationship and having interest in possibly going into a new one
is take things slow. There is no need to try to rush something like what's meant to be
will be without you having to like press that issue. So taking time for yourself,
dedicating individual time to things that you wanna do
and not giving every part of you to a new relationship.
I think that's so important for everyone to do
because I found myself very much invested in a relationship
and had the conversation with Kristin yesterday, maybe it wasn't yesterday, maybe it was
Friday. I had the conversation with her of I'm kind of like
feeling at a loss because I've invested so much of myself in to
my relationships, that you feel lost after that whenever it's
gone. It's like you have to kind of recalibrate your life to have a new normal.
Yeah, no 100% 100%.
The next question is what's your comfort show or show that you
regularly re binge watch?
Oh, god, I have so many right now. Currently in this moment
today, it's young Sheldon. Before young Sheldon
love young Sheldon. Love it. Before that was Big Bang Theory
and then also suits. They're like my go to will fall asleep to
them at night and then Grey's Anatomy is always going to be
something I'll rewatch until the day the day I'm on order SVU.
So like, there's so many
law and order SVU is a top for me. Although I don't know how I
watched it in college being younger and living in a city and
why I'm so fucking terrified at 34 years old living in the
suburbs watching it maybe it's because I'm doing it alone now
will and I used to do that together like we would binge the
hell out of law and order SVU. And now probably Virgin River.
You didn't get into Virgin River, did you?
No, I never tried.
I never watched it.
It's very wholesome.
Okay.
So it's a really good watch,
but I don't know if you'll necessarily get into it
based off of the other shows that you listed.
I also loved the Big Bang. Like why can't there be more shows like the Big Bang Theory?
No, why can't we just continue like I love Big Bang Theory stuff and I was late to watching it
So like I didn't actually start watching Big Bang Theory until everyone had it was dead and gone to everybody else
So like I revived that for myself
I remember when I was
married to frickin' Javi, his cousin was obsessed with Big Bang Theory, I think when it was like
newer. Yeah. So I only just recently watched it. And then from that, I had to watch Young Sheldon.
So I'm I love Young Sheldon so much. And like, I let my kids watch it, probably going to hell for
that. But I don't care. Okay, another great watch to binge the office.
Oh, classic.
It's classic.
Who is your favorite character off of The Office?
One, two, three, Dwight.
I didn't even get a chance.
Okay, Dwight.
But also, did you know that the booze cruise was filmed on the lake in my hometown at Lake
Wall and Paw Pack?
Wait, what?
Yes, from the office.
Like we should go recreate that
and be like coffee combos.
But you don't drink.
No, but we could, I can have a mocktail.
Yeah, okay, fine, whatever.
No, it's mocktail.
Mocktails by kale.
Mocktails, mocktails with kale.
Mocktails with kale.
It's the booze, but also mocktails. I actually saw a mocktail that I
thought that you might like the other day. It's like a spin off
the app for all spritz. And I'm gonna send I'm gonna send you
the recipe for it. Oh, I can't fucking wait for that. I have a
little like artisan mix, drink mixer mix. Also, I forgot to tell you this, I truly cannot wait for you to
receive your birthday gift from me because I asked Kristen for your address yesterday
and I can't wait for you to get it. So keep an eye out in the mail for that at your new address.
Is this a prank gift? No.
I never know when something comes with your name on it.
I'm scared to open it.
Might be a poopy taco blanket.
It might not.
Oh, we still have the poo poo blanket around here somewhere.
You're like the dogs use it now.
No, Jackson still uses it.
He calls it the doo doo blanket.
That's the doo doo blanket. Remember when we got it. He calls it the doo doo blanket.
Remember when we got in, I pulled it out and I was like,
what is this? Yeah, I don't remember the conversation surrounding that. But also it's iconic. He was like, Mom, it's a
doo doo blanket. And I was like, wait, it's a tortilla. It's a tortilla. I love it.
Okay.
So also we talk a lot about kids sports and stuff on this podcast.
And sadly, I saw something that absolutely terrifies me.
It was also on CNN about an Alabama teen dying after a head injury during a high school football
game.
Did you see this? No.
Yeah.
So it says an Alabama, Alabama community is in mourning following the death of a
high school quarterback who suffered a brain injury during the school season
opener on Friday night.
He was taken to the hospital in critical condition after a head injury.
Um, and then his death was announced the next day.
He was 16 years old.
And then his death was announced the next day. He was 16 years old.
And I mean, it's just absolutely horrible and terrifying.
And this is exactly my concerns when Will signed Jackson up for football.
That's rough.
That's really tough.
My condolences are to the family and to everyone affected
by this death. I cannot imagine. I truly can't.
So it said in a quote from somebody at the school, it says, we may not know the full
story for some time, but initial reports are that he likely suffered a ruptured blood vessel
in the brain
following a routine play in which he was tackled and made contact with the ground.
Last week, I guess it was Saturday, that was the first time I had ever heard like the helmet
smashing. Absolutely terrified. And like the moms on the sideline, every one of us cringing.
Yeah, I mean, that's definitely, it was a thought as Lincoln got started to get older for me.
I think that the tackles were relevant to Lincoln's size.
And so they weren't as powerful as, you know, as you get older, there are kids that you
can tell who's a lineman and who's on the defense.
Like you know who's playing defense and you know, who is is alignment and, and, you know, they wanted to, they went, they wanted to put link, move Lincoln from wide
receiver to alignment. And he was not with it. And just because, you know, your size changes,
you don't know, you know, especially when kids start to go around the age of hitting puberty,
you know, their body types change, you kind of start to see like what way their body is going to go. And so that's when you really start
to freak out because you're like, okay, these these hits are not kids that are hitting that
are the same size. These are now like, big fucking kids tackling smaller, smaller kids,
even when you're in high school. And so I definitely, you know, you get a hit in there.
That's the wrong way, the wrong move, the wrong, like in it,
and you just don't know what could happen.
And so I definitely resonate with you guys all cringing
on the sideline for sure.
It said that there were 16 deaths
among football players in 2023,
including seven among high school players.
And that was according to data collected by the National
Center of Catastrophic Sports Injury Research. Among those deaths, three were traumatic brain
injuries, two in high school football and one in a youth league. All three occurred during games.
The rest of the deaths in 2023 were considered some other type of medical something and the deaths caused by heat stroke, sudden
cardiac arrest, pulmonary embolism were all among them.
Jesus.
That, and while I understand and I'm not trying to like scare anyone, I'm sharing this because I also am scared. But 16 deaths among football
players, the majority of them being high schoolers in one calendar year, to me seems like a lot.
No, that's a lot. That's that's a lot. That's a lot of children for families to lose. Yeah.
And in the name of football, like, is it worth it? I think
that you have to weigh the pros and cons. I know I have a friend around here that he is a former NFL
athlete and he would not allow his son to play tackle football with Lincoln because he knew
the consequences of what that looked like for him, whether it be a head injury or any sort of other type of injury.
And so he actually wouldn't,
he wants to wait until his son is a little bit older.
And that's coming from a former NFL athlete.
So I thought that was really interesting.
At the time I was like, I don't understand.
Like, I guess I can't wrap my head around that,
but I think someone who has been in the NFL firsthand
knows what goes into it, the type of training,
the type of injuries that can be,
you know, you can get.
So I get it now.
This might be like our one and done season.
I haven't even thought about having the conversation
about it yet.
It's hugely time consuming.
The risk to me does, it definitely outweighs the benefit.
And while I love that he's associated with other kids
in his grade that are like all playing and they do,
so on Fridays, all the boys and the cheerleaders
go to carpool early and they're in their jerseys
and uniforms and they greet all the kids that
are coming in from carpool which is really fun and they partner with the high school
football team to do that so it's really fun and I love the inclusion however it's too
dangerous for me in my opinion.
I will say this like if you are looking to have Jackson in something that is less, less,
um, no contact, no contact. Thank you. If you're looking for Jackson to play something that is
you where you're like super invested and it's low, lower contact, no contact. Um, I don't know what
it looks like in, in Georgia, but here, like you can put them in like kids in, we'll use basketball
for an example or soccer for, for an example. them in like kids in, we'll use basketball for an example,
or soccer for an example. There's like other things that they can be doing in addition to their,
maybe they have practice once a week or twice a week. If you're looking for more, you can put them
in other clinics like throughout the week. So if you're looking for something that is going to
keep him dedicated, keep him in shape, keep him in, you know, just like connected with other kids.
You can add on to whatever like say you play for the rec team,
but you want to go train with, you know, these two trainers
at this gym at this time.
You can do that.
I don't know how Atlanta is but there's a training facility
that's not too far from us for basketball that actually some
of the Hawks players are co-owners of, that Jackson already is a member
of that place.
And before football and like all these other things that were sprung on me, he was going
there about once a week.
And then during basketball season, he was going there once a week and then he had practice
once a week and then games once a week.
So it kept him, you know, with different kids, different kids from different skill
levels than his team, which I loved that.
Um, basketball is just my sport for the outfits, for the environment, for the play.
Um, I just, I love the no contact sports.
Now I obviously love football.
Lux has been dying to play tackle.
We'll see about that, but right now Lincoln's in his soccer era and I absolutely love it. But I
also I do understand the love for football and like not a diss to anybody who plays football.
Like my nephews still play and you know, I call my nephews but they still play and I
love it.
I love it. And on that note, we have foul play.
Okay. I was eight and a half months pregnant with my second child.
This was literally last year and was feeling really freaky with my husband. Oh, anyways,
we were doing the thing and decided to 69. My body is different being pregnant. I guess
it changed my gag reflex too. I don't know if that's accurate, but whatever. While I'm
sucking I went down a little too far gagged coughed and unfortunately
with this cough I literally pissed all over my poor
husband's face, nose, glasses and all. Good thing is we both
showered and continued after all that so I know how much he truly
loves me. I joke about I joke sometimes about how I peed on
him and how I'm his first golden shower or whatever the fuck it
is.
Oh my god.
I love that for you. Okay, a couple
of things that I want to say about this. Number one, I think 69 is for the birds. 69 is not
a fun time ever at all. No, I don't know if I'm too ADHD for it. Just it's it's not a
thing that's ever worked for me. And so I don't like to participate. Also the gag reflex, when I was
pregnant, it would gag me to brush my teeth. No, it's a real thing. Yes, 100%. It definitely
changes your gag reflexes. I don't know that scientifically, but I can speak from experience.
I also hate 69. It's not a fun time. I'm not participating. And I think Elijah loves me
enough to continue through that as well
But also but why glasses while doing 16? That was my next point was the glasses. Okay
I've only been with one person that wears glasses
To bed and then takes them off never in a sexual encounter where they're ever glasses worn
So I need to know people who are listening,
if you wear them or if your partner wears them, are you wearing them during sexual activities?
I will not be wearing them during any type of sexual activity. I also got Lasik, so I
never have to worry about that again.
But that's a risk for injury, I feel like.
No, 1000% because what if you sit down on the face too hard and they snap and then it
pokes you in the eyeball? Like that is-
Wait, sit down on someone's face and they snap.
Like the glasses?
No, I know. But I'm just like cringing, thinking about the sight of that situation.
Yeah.
Also, why do you need to see that good?
No, you don't. Like I, and that's part of the reason why I don't
love going to people going down on me like I can't see down
there on a regular basis. I've also had 100 children. So like
the stretch marks and stuff that are now down there, you don't
need a personal up close view of that of those.
Wait, sir, you like not a go down girly?
No, I like I'll do it. But like, also, I just don't need you to
wear glasses to do it. Like, yeah, like, maybe blur my my
blur my stretch marks out.
And wouldn't there be like a fog risk in that situation as well?
Like, are they really doing anything? It is absolutely a fog risk in that situation as well. Like, are they really doing anything? It is absolutely a
fog risk.
Right. Also, bladders during pregnancy, that's a whole
another conversation maybe for another time. But I peed
probably 25 times a day when I was pregnant.
Oh, 100%. Even early on, like pretty early on,
and I didn't know if it was in my own head
or if it was like a legit thing,
but even early on before I had like a big bump,
I was peeing a lot.
Did you carry really low?
I feel like with Isaac I did.
I don't really remember with Lincoln.
I don't really remember with Lux
because by Lux I had the tummy tuck before that.
So I'm not entirely, I don't really remember. Lux because by Lux I had the tummy tuck before that. So I'm not entirely, I don't really remember.
With Jackson I carried very low and he was just on my bladder.
Okay.
Okay.
So bitch was peeing at all times.
Definitely not going to make it to the bathroom if you have to pee on the interstate.
Absolutely not.
The next person says, I've never had anything I would consider worthy
of being a foul play until a few weeks ago. My mom was visiting me in North Carolina where
we were staying at my in-laws place in a gated mountain community. Very bougie. Very demure.
I made that part up. We decided one day we were going to take a nice nature hike, which was about
a four mile loop in total. As we were headed back with about one and a half miles to go,
my mom suddenly said that she felt like she was going to shit her pants.
I hate that for her.
Listen, there is nothing worse than feeling like you have to shit.
She had eaten an entire bag of salad that morning herself. I guess the greens were running through her suddenly without warning she literally dropped her pants on the very public trail and started shitting liquid diarrhea all over the path.
I was standing there in complete horror and shock standing in front of her. In any case that other hikers came by, I grabbed the biggest sturdiest that I could, but they all kept breaking and she ended
up just pulling her pants off with the full shit between her cheeks and we finished our hike. First
of all, no. She had been shitting. I got a full view of the biggest bush that I have ever seen.
She had told me in the past that she had never shaved it before and she never felt like she needed
to, but man, did she have a total
jungle growing down under. I was absolutely traumatized to see it
and I can't get the image out of my mind of her blowing liquid
out of her ass right in front of me. She made me swear to never
tell a soul so please don't use my name. Y'all are the only ones
I feel would appreciate this. So I wanted to share love you both
so much. Okay,
I would love for her to submit this episode specifically this clip to her
mom. Because that would just be hysterical to see her reaction.
Please film that if you do it because we're not using names.
But I just want to say that this was a double whammy. I that was
a twist that I could not have predicted was the the jungle
from down under for sure.
Okay, she is a great daughter for trying to locate the largest leaves though.
No because I would have been laughing on the floor and I would have been of no help.
Oh if somebody no number one if somebody started diarrhea like that near me I would have kept
walking.
I wouldn't like I don't know her.
Yeah like who the fuck is her?
I wonder if they were on some sort of like health journey because I in no way would be attempting any sort of workout
or hike after a salad because I just know-
What's the deal with people with salads?
Well, I think that there's E. coli, of course,
but I think also people who don't regularly have roughage
in their diet are
it's roughage. Is it called roughage, Kristin? So leafy green vegetables are commonly referred
to as roughage and it literally cleans and cleanses your insides. So if you're typically
not a salad eater like myself, if I was to eat a salad right now,
head over to Salad Works or Panera Bread and get a salad,
I would be on the toilet in about two hours.
Oh, it would take two hours for it to go through you?
Maybe sooner.
This is why you should have leafy green lettuces
in your regular diet,
so you're not absolutely shitting your fucking brains out.
Well, it also brings the entire conversation full circle
because leafy greens will clean you out
and like clean out your bowels,
but it will also be good for Alzheimer's prevention.
That is very true.
