Pod Insights Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce Kylie & Demi Lovato on Wild Jonas Reunion, Manifesting Super Bowl Halftime & Swag Gap Marriages | Ep. 50 About this episode Kylie’s back for the Season 2 Premiere of Not Gonna Lie brought to you by CVS Health and guess what she’s changing in Season 2: f*&king nothing! New Year, same Kylie! She kicks things off by responding to a new comment about her swearing (1:18) and then gets right to a big NGL announcement about going to the Winter Olympics (2:30).
Then, in honor of her mother-in-law Donna’s debut on ‘The Traitors’ Kylie attempts her best recap and weighs in on Donna’s story within the show and some viral clips (4:59).
After that, in “Doomscroll of the Week,” Kylie debates whether she and Jason have a “swag gap” based on a new gen z trend about couples with varying levels of swag from both a fashion and personal perspective (8:02). She also gives an update on her breastfeeding journey with Finnie and how challenging it can be to pump and dump when traveling for work (10:54). Kylie also gives us her take on “Dry January” or “January” as she calls it (14:11).
Then, since it’s our first episode of the year 2026, Kylie keeps the tradition going from last season and gives the Real Ones her official list of 2026 Ins & Outs. Spoiler alert: “hard pants” and “giving a f*%k” are definitely OUT this year (16:42).
We then head out to NGL HQ Los Angeles to witness Kylie speak to yet another person she has no business speaking to: Demi Lovato! (25:33)!! Kylie comes to terms with sharing the studio with another Cowboys fan and asks Demi about her mom who was a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader (26:30).
Demi also gets into her new dance-pop era and her new album “It’s Not That Deep” including her and Kylie’s favorite tracks on the album and what the Lovatics can expect when she goes on tour this spring (29:28). Demi shares her enjoyment of playing Philly crowds and gets a cheesesteak rec from Kylie.
Kylie asks Demi about her favorite songs to perform live (35:29) and also brings back a topic that Ed Sheeran brought up on NGL last season: which artist in their hometown would be the “cheat code” for the loudest crowd ever?!
Kylie and Demi also look back at Demi’s insanely viral surprise appearance at the Jonas Brothers concert and what that was really like reuniting on stage after so many years (40:14). And speaking of the Jonas Brothers, Kylie asks Demi about her Disney Channel days and Demi reveals she most recently watched “Camp Rock” with her husband Jordan (47:40). Kylie also can’t help but check in for any inside scoop on “Camp Rock 3.”
Lastly, Kylie asks Demi about her brand new cookbook coming out this March (55:15) and can’t resist asking her for her favorite dish, which leads us to very unexpected but very wonderful discussion about pickles. Demi also explains how much cooking now means to her as someone in recovery from an eating disorder (56:35).
Make sure you tune into More Sh*t Monday on the Not Gonna Lie YouTube channel for even more exclusive clips from Kylie’s longer conversation with Demi!

0:42 Kylie Kelce? Not gonna lie. She was a traitor! She was a traitor!
0:51 Kylie Kelce? Let's get this podcast started.
0:58 Kylie Kelce? Welcome back, Real Ones, to season two of Not Gonna Lie, a Wave original.
1:05 Kylie Kelce? I purposely didn't full send it. I should've known. I should've fucking known. Welcome back, Real Ones, to season two of Not Gonna Lie, a Wave original, brought to you by CVS Health. I'm your host, Kylie Kelsey, and if you're new to the show this season, here's pretty much everything you need to know about me. I have a bunch of kids, a whole horde of children, four girls, to be exact. And no, we don't need to try for a boy, so suck my ass. My husband played for the Eagles for 13 years, but please, dear God, do not call me a wag. And I'm officially in year two of this podcast, where I talk about wiping kids' butts, issues important to women, and I get to speak to people that I have absolutely no business speaking to.
1:49 Kylie Kelce? Now, you might be wondering, what's gonna change in season two? Fucking nothing, including the way I speak. Which, of course, brings me to the first point. Queen Emma is rage baiting me with a brand-new swearing complaint here. Why do the Kelsey family swear so much? At least Trevor and Kylie do, first of all. Who fucks Trevor? If you mean Travis, my brother-in-law.
2:16 Kylie Kelce? You're fucking right, we do. Also, just keep scrolling. You literally don't. Once you, I really cannot emphasize this enough, once you interact with the content, you're going to continue getting the content and then you're going to continue getting me and Trevor swearing our asses off. Coming up on our season two premiere, since it's our first episode of 2026, I'm going to share my ins and outs for this year and spoiler alert, giving a fuck is definitely out for a second year in a row. Feels good. After that, I flew all the way out to LA to sit down with today's guest and I do it again, which is really saying something. She's a multi-platinum superstar with some of the
2:53 Kylie Kelce? best pop hits ever. Guys, it's Demi Lovato. What? I know. I'm confused too. But before we get to all that, let's start off with our NGL announcements. First up, the real, real ones. Might have already seen the news. I'm going to the Winter Olympics and not only am I going, NGL is going. Yep, squad, roll out.
3:24 Kylie Kelce? Appropriate usage. Okay, we're going to be taping two Olympic episodes right from Milan. This is...
3:35 Kylie Kelce? The first one comes out February 19th. Queen Emma wants to know if I'm excited for Milan. That exhale you heard just a few words ago was me, I regularly have an experience on this podcast, similarly to announcing that we have interviewed Demi Lovato for this episode and all of the other guest announcements that we had the absolute pleasure of doing in season one. When I say the sentences, my brain is like, that was such a dumb sentence. That was silly. Events I'm looking forward to the most. I'm very, very excited to watch slope style, uh, snowboarding because I have personal investment now.
4:26 Kylie Kelce? You'll see. I am very excited to watch ice skating because I could never. And speaking of the Winter Olympics and the things that I've teased now, we've been busy the past few weeks shooting two new episodes of FAFO with the help of YouTube, NBC, and some badass Olympians.
4:48 Kylie Kelce? I know, silly sentence. Okay, you'll be able to watch me learn to curl. Yep, we went all the way to South Dakota, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and we got to learn how to curl.
5:04 Kylie Kelce? It was incredible. That episode of FAFO is coming out on February 3rd on YouTube, and I just got back from taping the second one in Aspen. That's right. I returned to the scene of the crime. If you know, you know. I got to meet with Jamie Anderson, who was incredible. You'll be able to watch me eat shit countless times. We're literally going to have an eat shit counter. So like, just stay tuned for fun. All right, that's it for our NGL announcements. And now, in honor of my mother-in-law's debut on Traitors, I'm gonna attempt to recap it, which probably isn't gonna go well because I don't watch reality television.
5:48 Kylie Kelce? And I didn't quite get around to watching all of the episodes yet that have been released. But in an attempt to be doing this in a timely manner, I do know how it went. A small disclaimer, I'm about to talk about Traitors, and I am not going to edit myself. So if you have not watched yet, which I suggest you do.
6:17 Kylie Kelce? Uh, maybe skip ahead? So, what are my takeaways?
6:26 Kylie Kelce? She was a traitor! Oh my God, can I tell you? There are so many things, like, if someone was like, guess what happened? Not in a mil- I don't know why that didn't even cross my mind that that was a possibility. I genuinely couldn't tell you. I don't know why that wasn't a possibility in my brain.
6:49 Kylie Kelce? Maybe it's because of like, her naturally sweet disposition. I was like, she wouldn't. As if it's a choice.
6:56 Kylie Kelce? That's not how that works. And Donna was a traitor. I'm not over this, and it's gonna take me a while to get over it.
7:05 Kylie Kelce? I will say this. I have seen the clip many times now, on my doom scroll, of Donna's exit, which is when they put you on the little circle on the floor, and everyone has, because everyone voted and said, the most votes were for Donna, we think she's the traitor. And she stood on the little circle on the floor, and then it's basically the person's opportunity to reveal, right before they leave, whether or not they were faithful or a traitor.
7:38 Kylie Kelce? And her little speech, right there?
7:44 Kylie Kelce? You nailed that, Donna. You nailed that so hard. And she does like, the dramatic turn and walk off when everyone else is celebrating. You can see her in the back of the clip, like, turn and walk out of the doorway. Guys.
7:58 Kylie Kelce? She nailed that. I have not gotten a chance to talk to Donna about it, yet.
8:05 Kylie Kelce? Because I didn't watch the full episode. I wanna, I wanna make sure that I can dive into a full celebration of Donna's accomplishments. And my understanding is that there's some things that I have not seen in the clips, like challenges that she was involved in, that I would like to know before I text her about it.
8:27 Kylie Kelce? I mean, is she gonna receive a whole paragraph? At minimum, but from what I've seen, she was a traitor and she fucking nailed it. Next up, doom scroll of the week. Doom scroll of the week is brought to you by Ollie Pop, a new kind of soda. First up on doom scroll, my algorithm has informed me of a new Gen Z trend called the swag gap. And I feel personally victimized. Can we end with a clip, please?
8:54 Speaker 03 The swag gap is a very real thing to me and it's something that I think about very frequently, like way more often than I probably should have in being honest. But like, how could I pull up somewhere in an outfit like this? Like low bun action, cute sunglasses, hoop earrings, are you seeing these shoes? Cargo, like how could I be wearing something like this and then show up with a guy who's in flip flops and a vest?
9:21 Kylie Kelce? Uh, I can confirm it does exist.
9:26 Kylie Kelce? I am the one bringing the team, uh, the team down. It's me, uh, it's not my husband. My husband, he's the one who's got the swag. When Jason and I first started dating, Jason would wear V-neck plain t-shirts. It was the same idea of if I like it, I'll just buy it in another color. That was Jason's MO. He would just wear the exact same shirt in a different color. And let me tell you, it hugged the biceps. It hung off the shoulders nicely and it also emphasized like how you just, it looked good. My husband, when we first started dating, disliked suits so badly.
10:10 Kylie Kelce? But now because he has to sit the desk on Monday nights and he has to be a little more professional, he's wearing a suit on a very regular basis. And let me tell you something.
10:26 Kylie Kelce? Don't ever ask yourself why we have four kids.
10:30 Kylie Kelce? You know?
10:34 Kylie Kelce? That's self-explanatory. Turn on ESPN on Monday night.
10:40 Kylie Kelce? I said what I needed to say. Now, the swag gap for clothing
10:48 Kylie Kelce? is one thing. He clearly has like a cooler swag to the way he dresses. Swag in general, like overall swag.
11:00 Kylie Kelce? We've seen him dance, guys.
11:03 Kylie Kelce? And I don't even need you to see me dance to know that's a low bar. And I will always knock him down a few pegs when it comes to him thinking he's
11:18 Kylie Kelce? a good dancer.
11:25 Kylie Kelce? I mean, I find it cute and endearing, but like, we've seen it. Okay, next. Like I said earlier, I just got back from a work trip. So this TikTok really hit close to home. Queen Emma.
11:38 Kylie Kelce? The side of traveling for work, no one warns you about the pump and dump. Oh, she's dumping, oh my God, there's so many bottles of milk down the sink. Oh, and crying emojis. Oh, this hurts my soul. Coming from someone who is admittedly a bare minimum supplier. That's what I call myself because that is the truth of my breastfeeding journey. And it has been for all four children. Okay? This is not a self-deprecating situation. This is legitimately just me being realistic with how my breastfeeding has panned out for all of my children.
12:18 Kylie Kelce? That being said, because we are weaning, Finn was, when we were away on the work trip, getting formula bottles.
12:28 Kylie Kelce? I then had to pump and dump. Now,
12:33 Kylie Kelce? coming especially from a bare minimum supplier who on a regular basis has been truly deeply disappointed with what was contained within the pump, once I took the pump off. To dump out three to four ounces aside?
12:52 Kylie Kelce? Was like a dagger to the heart. It was. First of all. I would have this moment of pride where I was like, oh. And then right down the hotel sink, it went.
13:10 Kylie Kelce? It's not, it's sad. I didn't want to get a clogged duct, which everybody knows sucks. I will say, one of my biggest tips for clogged ducts, which I think is something that I discovered when I had one with Wyatt. If you have a handheld shower head, you can turn it on the hardest setting possible and the hottest that you can handle it. And massage, yep, I'm saying this out loud
13:43 Kylie Kelce? for the internet. And I'm going to finish my thought now because it's not going to stop me. You massage it down your boob towards your nipple and then get out of the shower and pump right away. Or feed the baby right away, but it would probably work better to pump right away.
14:01 Kylie Kelce? You're welcome. Finn did finally cut, fully cut a tooth. There is one, one, just one tooth, one tooth right at the bottom. And last night she had something in her mouth and I thought for a second that she was cutting a tooth on the top. And I got so sad because if you know, you know, when there is a baby with only two teeths, two teeths, I say teeths for a reason because if you look at them, it's, they're not teeth. That would be ridiculous. They're teeths. Everybody knows that. Right at the bottom.
14:37 Kylie Kelce? I genuinely, it is a phase I am not ready to miss out on, on our fourth kid. But also, stay away from my nipples. Anyway, the last thing on doom scroll, we're in the midst of what the kids call, the kids.
14:53 Kylie Kelce? Oh, God.
14:56 Kylie Kelce? The kids call dry January. Or as I call it, January. Queen Emma, roll it.
15:03 Speaker 04 I think we earned a beer tonight. I know it's dry January and I know it's the eighth, but I think we earned a beer tonight. We've been working out really good. We've been working really hard, really busy. And.
15:15 Kylie Kelce? You said the eighth. It's the eighth.
15:19 Kylie Kelce? He said, I know it's the eighth. I know early eight, I know we're one day over a weekend is what he said. Giving up on Dry January, on the eighth of January.
15:37 Kylie Kelce? I mean, you're a quarter of the way there. If Jason were to try it.
15:43 Kylie Kelce? It depends. It depends. In January, I feel like there are celebrations and people are traveling for playoffs.
15:58 Kylie Kelce? I feel like January is iffy, but if you picked a different month of the year.
16:05 Kylie Kelce? Maybe like a March. Solid chance. Oh, no, St. Patty's Day.
16:13 Kylie Kelce? February has the Super Bowl. Maybe April. I myself have absolutely no feelings about Dry January because
16:24 Kylie Kelce? I don't drink. There is so many people who will comment on things or even slide into my DMs and be like, I just want to have a wine night with you, or I just want to have a beer with you.
16:36 Kylie Kelce? I'm so sorry to disappoint you all.
16:41 Kylie Kelce? But I don't really drink. My go to at a bar, a fully stocked bar specifically, is always going to be a Shirley Temple. But apparently.
16:55 Kylie Kelce? Apparently now I don't even have to leave my house for a Shirley Temple. Yep. I'm just as shocked as you are. Ollie Pop just introduced their brand new flavor. Shirley Temple.
17:09 Kylie Kelce? Guys, it's like we manifested it. Your inner trial will be grinning ear to ear. It says, stay tuned and I'll try it. That's it for doom scroll of the week brought to you by Ollie Pop. Now let's move on to the second annual edition of my new year's ins and outs. Brought to you by Intuit TurboTax. Now this is taxes. Now I realize this is an older trend. I also realize it's January 15th and it's late as fuck to be doing this. But guess what? I don't care. We're doing it anyway. Here are my top five ins and outs for 2026. Starting with my ins. Number one, and we'll kick it off with something real controversial. Kittens and puppies. That's right.
17:51 Kylie Kelce? I am definitely looking to add things to our home.
17:59 Kylie Kelce? Will it be a kitten? Will it be a puppy? If Jason has anything to do with it, it'll be neither. Number two, not leaving the house.
18:08 Kylie Kelce? Guys,
18:12 Kylie Kelce? just let's not, let's collectively decide not to, and then we won't have to meet each other out. You know what I'm saying? Number three, mom and dad, no kids time. Okay. Big deal. We gotta try for more date nights. Or maybe a trip together. Who knows? But you know what I do know?
18:32 Kylie Kelce? I know what came the last time mom and dad went on a no kids trip. So you know what else is in contraception? Okay. Number four, bagel sandwiches. Technically, they've been in every year, but
18:46 Kylie Kelce? there are a few better ways to start your day than a bagel Sammy. Let me tell you. Number five, flipping the bird. Very in for 2026. Guys, it's the most direct way to just let people know. Okay. Maybe even a double bird. Cause the more the merrier. Okay. The best part about flipping the bird? It's right there. You don't, you're not questioning where you stand with me. Right there. Okay. Fuck it. And I said that with my whole chest. Sometimes it's playful. Sometimes it's serious.
19:25 Kylie Kelce? That's for you to decide. Bonus ins that just missed the cut. Bugs, because you know I love bug hunts. ADHD, because I can't help that. Turtles, because Queen Emma made this list.
19:41 Kylie Kelce? And room temperature water. Big in.
19:46 Kylie Kelce? Big on room temperature water.
19:49 Kylie Kelce? Maybe it should have been an in.
19:52 Kylie Kelce? You get it. Outs. Number one, hard pants. This is the easiest one. I don't even think it needs an explanation. If I have to button them, should I be wearing them? That's a good question to ask yourself. Number two, crop tops. Cut it out. Stop, stop. Every brand that is only offering crop tops now. Kiss my ass. And my belly button, because you can see it. Hi Patricia. Hello. How are you? Are you good? Are you? Oh. Are you in for 2026? You're in. You're so in. Beards. Beards. Bearded ladies in for 2026. Patricia said that.
20:40 Kylie Kelce? Crop tops? Can you go? But can you go lay down? Because I can see your nose. Thanks lady. Number three, acting professional. This is an out, because over here, we are the most unprofessional professionals you will ever meet. Okay? I have said suck my ass on our sales calls.
21:00 Kylie Kelce? More than once. Number four, cooking with toddlers.
21:07 Kylie Kelce? I've had enough of this. I've had it. If the mess was worth the end result. The end result being that they actually eat the meal. I would do it every day of the week. But you do one make your own pizza night.
21:25 Kylie Kelce? Get through the entire process. Bake the pizzas. And then they look at you and tell you they're not eating it?
21:34 Kylie Kelce? You might flip the script to number five, once again, for the second year in a row, giving a single fuck. It's out. It is out. And by giving a single fuck being out, I mean, giving a single fuck about things you cannot control. Okay, let go relinquish it. But also, give a fuck about the things that matter. Okay, bye. Bonus outs that just missed the cut. Dallas, because fuck them. Sorry, Demi and Kelly. The word bitch, except when baby back is in front of it. Los Angeles, out. Guys, what are we doing out there?
22:17 Kylie Kelce? That does it for my 2026 ins and outs brought to you by Intuit TurboTax. Coming up, we're going to LA to meet Demi Lovato. In the meantime, some messages from me. If you're a real one, you already know I'm a lifelong germaphobe and living in a house with four children, six and under, a large dog and my husband. It forces me to confront that phobia on a daily basis. I've seen some disgusting things in my household. I mean, I have one child who every single time she goes to the bathroom, I have to remind her to actually wipe. I said what I said. The other day Wyatt asked me why we go through hand soap so, so quickly. I thought that was obvious, but I did explain it to her. Fortunately, the CBS Health app has me covered so I can mount our family's defense against
23:02 Kylie Kelce? germs, especially during cold and flu season. Things I'm getting on the app are the standards. Okay, you got the disinfectant wipes, you got hand sanitizer, because you're going to use that in the car. And so you can get to the sink and use hand soap, which I also get on the app. Why are you between me and the desk right now? What are you doing? You are 120 pounds. Get out. Thank you. I love you. I see you. I get it. I will let you out in a minute. You can also check your prescription status on the go. And CVS will tell me the moment my prescription is ready, which is important because you can't go into a store and waste time with kids. You gotta be in and out efficient. Go to CVS.com backslash app to learn more and download the app today.
23:47 Kylie Kelce? I'm very excited to talk about our next partner, Ollie Pop. They have a brand new flavor that happened to be one of my official ins of 2025, but really every year. It's a Shirley Temple. I've been waiting for this moment to try it for the very first time on camera for the real ones. I'm not kidding. I legitimately have avoided tasting this until we could do it right now.
24:12 Kylie Kelce? That's very good. This helps us accomplish one of our ins for 2026, which is not leaving the house. Now you don't have to leave the house to get a good Shirley Temple. We have it at home and it's delicious. I've been a fan of Shirley Temples for pretty much my entire life. I still remember going to Alligators in Ardmore, if you know, you know. And they would, we would get to have a Shirley Temple there, which was like a really special treat. Now that I'm an adult, one of the perks of being an adult is that you're allowed to have treats whenever you want. Their Shirley Temple is made with real ingredients, less sugar, and has prebiotic fiber to support gut health. You can try Ollie Pop's new Shirley Temple flavor right now. And get this, you can get a free can of Ollie Pop.
24:53 Kylie Kelce? Buy any two cans of Ollie Pop in store and they'll pay you back for one. Shop at Walmart, Target, Whole Foods, and thousands of other retailers near you.

She just put out
26:22 Kylie Kelce? a new album called It's Not That Deep, and you can see her on tour this spring. She's also an actor-producer, and now she's officially Not Gonna Lie. Demi Lovato, welcome to the show.
26:33 Speaker 05 Thank you.
26:34 Kylie Kelce? I am so excited to talk to you. I mean, your music is, every single time it comes on, it's an absolute bop, which is probably cringe of me to say, because I think bop is probably out by now.
26:45 Speaker 05 No more cringe, who cares?
26:46 Kylie Kelce? Right? Okay, it's a bop.
26:48 Speaker 05 Thank you.
26:49 Kylie Kelce? They are just so, like, they're just, like, a good time. And like, every time they come on, I feel like I like know every word, and I sing along, and it's just, it's delightful. All of your music.
27:01 Speaker 05 Thank you.
27:02 Kylie Kelce? Now, before we get into anything, this show is called Not Gonna Lie, so I actually have to call myself out for a second. I had Kelly Clarkson on the show, and I told her that she was the only Cowboys fan I'd ever have on.
27:17 Kylie Kelce? But now that you're here, I think we need to amend that. Just for the listeners, your mom was a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader.
27:28 Speaker 05 Yes.
27:29 Kylie Kelce? So I'm going to, I'm gonna give a free pass here.
27:33 Speaker 05 Give me a free pass, because I don't actually watch football.
27:37 Kylie Kelce? So what you're saying is you could be swayed.
27:39 Speaker 06 I could, I'm, I'm not saying I could be swayed. It's in my blood and it's like, my family loves the Cowboys. And so therefore I, you know, like grew up around the Cowboys.
27:49 Kylie Kelce? Perfect.
27:50 Speaker 06 Obviously, like, you know, yeah, understandable. Um, we're a Cowboys family, but I don't actually, and I've never watched the games.
28:01 Kylie Kelce? I can live with this. Kelly came on here like pulling stats and I was like, hey.
28:05 Speaker 06 No, no, that's not me.
28:07 Kylie Kelce? Perfect. Okay. And what I will say is, is that I recently got, I don't know if it was a comment that tagged me or a DM where someone was trying to figure out whether or not them watching the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders show.
28:20 Speaker 06 Yes.
28:21 Kylie Kelce? Was sacrilegious for an Eagles fan.
28:23 Speaker 06 Is it?
28:24 Kylie Kelce? And I was like, I don't know. I don't know the answer to that. So maybe.
28:29 Speaker 06 I feel like it's separate.
28:30 Kylie Kelce? Maybe you could weigh in.
28:31 Speaker 06 Okay. My opinion, there's like, there's so much history with the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.
28:38 Kylie Kelce? Yes.
28:39 Speaker 06 And, and my mom like invested so much of her time and energy into, um, that job. And she, that was like her pride and soul. And so like, I feel like if you can appreciate the,
28:55 Speaker 06 if you can appreciate the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders for being amazing at what they do.
29:00 Kylie Kelce? Yes.
29:01 Speaker 06 I feel like it.
29:02 Kylie Kelce? You can separate it a little.
29:03 Speaker 06 You can separate it. Yeah.
29:03 Kylie Kelce? Okay. There, there it is. You can separate it a little. And with that, I say, go Burt's. Because balance. Um, it will not be me watching the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders show because it does still feel a little fucked up to me, but I'm gonna leave that one alone. I'm gonna leave that one alone.
29:18 Speaker 06 Yeah.
29:18 Kylie Kelce? Honestly, it is so impressive what they do.
29:21 Speaker 06 It's so impressive. And my mom would tell me stories of like, how difficult it was to like, be on the field in a hundred and 10 degree weather and not being able, this was back in the day of like, not being able to like have frequent water breaks or crazy things like that.
29:39 Kylie Kelce? Right.
29:39 Speaker 06 Where it's like, it's different now. They put her through a lot, but it was all in the best way. Like.
29:44 Kylie Kelce? Yes.
29:44 Speaker 06 Just hard work, hard work, you know?
29:47 Kylie Kelce? They were out there being athletes too.
29:48 Speaker 06 Yes, exactly.
29:50 Kylie Kelce? Yeah. I can't do, I can't do it. I'm not gonna do it. You guys can do it though. Um, because you gotta respect the art. Like, it really is, like, the performance of it is impressive.
29:59 Speaker 06 Yeah.
30:00 Kylie Kelce? It's not gonna be me.
30:03 Kylie Kelce? Well, now that we have that figured out, I've been so excited to talk to you about your music because huge fan, like I said, and we just got treated to even more music with your new dance pop album. It's not that deep.
30:15 Speaker 06 Yes.
30:16 Kylie Kelce? What is your personal favorite song from the new album?
30:18 Speaker 06 Kiss like is just so fun to me that and it like embodies what the album is where it's like, it's not, I'm not taking myself too seriously. I'm having fun with it. It's sexy. It's flirty. And so I think Kiss is probably like my favorite of the, from the album, but I also love Frequency. I also love Ghost. Ghost was like an emotional moment, let you go. Like I, I'm, it's hard to pick a favorite when
30:47 Kylie Kelce? It's like picking your favorite child.
30:48 Speaker 06 It's like picking, I mean, I don't have children, so I can't say, but
30:52 Kylie Kelce? But you know, it's wrong for people to pick their favorite child. That's what I've been told. I have four daughters. I've been told it's wrong to pick your favorite child. Nobody has favorites, guys. Depends on the day.
31:05 Kylie Kelce? Now, I, sorry to myself is so
31:10 Speaker 06 And that one too, that one's great too. I love that.
31:12 Kylie Kelce? I love that one. And I also love the way that you've done it on TikTok because it just feels like so like it's every single time it pops up, I'm like, I'll go listen to it real quick. Because it, you, you, you have to scratch the itch. Is it true that you started writing this as a rock album and then switched it up?
31:31 Speaker 06 Yes. So when I first started working on this project, I was coming out of my last album.
31:40 Speaker 06 Holy fuck. Can you say that? Or should I just say holy? Okay.
31:44 Kylie Kelce? Oh, we say a lot of bad words. You say whatever the fuck you want.
31:49 Speaker 06 So I was coming off of my last album, Holy Fuck, and that was like, I was in my rock era and I was like, all right, let's go. And I was like, let's go even harder. Like, let's go even more rock with it. And as I started working on it, I was like in this relationship, very, very happy. And like, I found it really difficult to write happy rock songs. Like normally they're, you know, they're just like really emotionally driven and, and here I am in this place in my life where I'm just like having fun and it's very lighthearted and.
32:27 Speaker 06 And then, so I decided, I was like, okay, maybe I should switch the vibes. So I started trying on a few different genres and different sounds and ultimately like what matched my emotions. This album was the pop and dance sound that was kind of, that was just cohesive with what I was, what's going on in my personal life. And like, I'm having fun. I'm, you know, newly married. Life is awesome and I don't really have anything to be angry about right now. And so I'm not writing, you know, music that's very angry.
33:08 Kylie Kelce? Sure.
33:09 Speaker 06 And it's just interesting how you think an album is gonna start. When you think of an album and how it starts to where it actually ends up is really fascinating. And something that I love about making music.
33:22 Kylie Kelce? And now you're taking this new album and all of your music on tour this spring. You can get your tickets now at demi lavato.com backslash tour. How do you feel about one of your earliest stops on the tour, which is Philly?
33:37 Speaker 06 How do I feel about it?
33:38 Kylie Kelce? Yeah.
33:38 Speaker 06 I'm excited.
33:39 Kylie Kelce? Are you?
33:40 Speaker 06 I have great memories in Philly.
33:41 Kylie Kelce? Oh, good.
33:42 Speaker 06 Yeah, I like, I did, I ran the stairs like Rocky.
33:46 Kylie Kelce? Yes.
33:46 Speaker 06 Like I've done that. I just, I also just have played Philly a million times and, or what feels like a million times and, and I have like good memories there. But like, I have this one. Yeah, I have this one memory of me running on a tour stop and like, I ran through the streets of Philly and it was cool.
34:06 Kylie Kelce? Did you?
34:07 Speaker 06 Yeah.
34:08 Kylie Kelce? Because Philly is a great place to go and everybody knows that.
34:12 Speaker 06 You know what I'm dying to have is like a really good Philly cheesesteak.
34:15 Kylie Kelce? Perfect. Okay.
34:16 Speaker 06 So tell me where to go.
34:18 Kylie Kelce? Angelo's is where you need to go.
34:19 Speaker 06 Okay.
34:20 Kylie Kelce? Angelo's is like the current, if you look it up, everyone's saying that Angelo's is the frontrunner.
34:26 Speaker 06 Okay.
34:27 Kylie Kelce? It's very, very good. And I feel very strongly about this, that you might like Angelo's.
34:32 Speaker 06 Okay, I'm gonna try it.
34:34 Kylie Kelce? Please do.
34:35 Speaker 06 I'm gonna try it when I go on tour, when I'm there. Yeah.
34:39 Kylie Kelce? Okay, you tell me, I'll meet you there.
34:41 Speaker 06 Okay.
34:43 Speaker 06 Do you wanna come to the show in Philly?
34:46 Kylie Kelce? Try to stop me.
34:49 Speaker 06 Yes.
34:49 Kylie Kelce? Yes, absolutely. Oh, a thousand percent.
34:53 Speaker 06 Oh, good.
34:54 Kylie Kelce? No, what can we expect to see on this tour?
34:57 Speaker 06 Definitely a big show.
35:00 Speaker 06 And songs from my newest album, It's Not That Deep, but also songs from my catalog that are older. It's just, it's about having fun. I want to have fun. And we're at the fun process, right? Like, we're, or the fun part of the process where it's like, we have a blank slate in front of us and, you know, I have yet to see what the stage is going to look like. I have yet to see what my outfits are going to look like. And, um, and like the collaboration process in all of that, you know, working with my incredible stylist and creative director.
35:40 Speaker 06 And like, so I have yet to like, I don't have any inside scoop, but what I can tell you is that I'm bringing Adella on the road with me. And she is just so talented. So like, she's, I heard this quote that was like, she's your favorite pop star's favorite pop star. And it's so true. She's just so cool.
36:02 Kylie Kelce? I'm so excited. Well, speaking of performing, I was just watching you absolutely crush it on New Year's Rockin' Eve.
36:08 Speaker 06 Thank you.
36:09 Kylie Kelce? Out of all of your songs, do you have a favorite one that you like to perform live?
36:14 Speaker 06 I love doing Cool for the Summer. It's like challenging enough vocally to where it's fun, but it's not challenging to a point where it's stressful. So like, there's no like crazy, super high note, like in Sorry Not Sorry, where I'm like, oh, God, am I going to hit it this time? It's kind of like hard enough to where it's fun to sing, but it's not. Stressful and so I love Cool for the Summer and then I also just have like so many good memories to that song and so it's just so fun.
36:43 Kylie Kelce? Now, we mentioned Kelly Clarkson earlier. I actually asked her.
36:46 Speaker 06 I love Kelly Clarkson.
36:48 Kylie Kelce? Oh, don't worry, we're gonna get there because I heard that your email address was [email protected] . Is that true?
36:57 Speaker 06 Yeah, well, the the the little was spelled with D's because little Kelly was already taken.
37:03 Kylie Kelce? Sure.
37:04 Speaker 06 Um, so it was little Kelly, but I was so obsessed with Kelly Clarkson when I was a kid that I um made my email address Little Kelly.
37:15 Kylie Kelce? I love that so much. Uh, does Kelly know that that happened?
37:18 Speaker 06 She does.
37:19 Kylie Kelce? And how does she feel about that? Because I feel like that's.
37:22 Speaker 06 I think she's flattered.
37:23 Kylie Kelce? Right?
37:24 Speaker 06 Yeah, I I was on her show and I told her when I did her show and then I recently saw her for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Um, and I told her again and she was like, I know you told me and I was like, okay, I'm just making sure you know, because I'm obsessed with you and.
37:40 Kylie Kelce? Now, one of the things that I asked Kelly, which brings me to you saying like the challenging vocal songs that you have. I am not musically inclined whatsoever and I just want to know how it feels
37:55 Kylie Kelce? deep in your soul when you hit the note that you like a really challenging song when you hit it and you fucking nail it.
38:13 Speaker 06 It feels so good.
38:14 Kylie Kelce? The most satisfying, I feel, my brain has told me.
38:18 Speaker 06 Yes.
38:18 Kylie Kelce? That must be one of the most satisfying things that you can experience.
38:22 Speaker 06 Yeah, it really is. It really, really is. It's um, it's visceral, you know, like you're I'm when I sing and I hit the high notes, it's not just because I can get up there and I want to show off what I can do with my voice. It's like the passion and the intensity behind what I'm saying means so much to me and it like it's so powerful that it just it truly is visceral when I when I'm able to like hit a note that. In the studio or on stage or whatever, like, or sometimes in the shower, like, I just, it's such a good feeling. It's right up there with sex and chocolate.
39:03 Speaker 06 Talk about.
39:03 Kylie Kelce? That is exactly, that's exactly what my brain told me.
39:06 Speaker 06 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
39:08 Kylie Kelce? Do you give yourself goosebumps?
39:10 Speaker 06 Uh, no, I don't think so. I think like.
39:13 Kylie Kelce? Have other people given you?
39:14 Speaker 06 I think.
39:14 Kylie Kelce? When you listen to other people, have they, like a Kelly Clarkson, when Kelly hits a note, like.
39:19 Speaker 06 Definitely. I think for me, I'm so critical of my performances and,
39:27 Speaker 06 and even like my recordings, I would say that like, I'm so critical, it's hard for me to take myself out of that perfectionism to enjoy what I'm doing vocally.
39:38 Kylie Kelce? Don't worry, we're all getting goosebumps.
39:41 Speaker 06 Thank you.
39:42 Kylie Kelce? Now you've sang some, with some absolutely amazing artists throughout your career, Christina, Ariana, Sam Smith, to name a few. Do any of your duets or collaborations stand out to you?
39:55 Speaker 06 I would say my favorite collaboration that I've ever done would, would have to be, Fall in Line with Christina Aguilera, because Christina is like Kelly Clarkson to me and she was one of my biggest inspirations growing up and every time I karaoke, I sing her songs and.
40:16 Kylie Kelce? Do you have a favorite? What's the go-to?
40:18 Speaker 06 Um, there's one called Keep On Singing My Song.
40:24 Speaker 06 And.
40:25 Kylie Kelce? I thought for sure you were gonna say Jean in a Bottle.
40:27 Speaker 06 No, no. This one's like, got this long note at the end and it's, it's really fun to sing. I never get to sing it unless I'm doing karaoke or if I'm in the shower, but I just like.
40:42 Speaker 06 I really value that collaboration because it just means so much to me.
40:49 Kylie Kelce? That's so much power in this.
40:52 Kylie Kelce? It's not even funny. Well, speaking of collaborations, I feel like I can't fully transition into 2026 until I talk to you about one of my favorite moments from 2025, which is when you made a surprise appearance at the Jonas Brothers concert.
41:05 Speaker 06 Oh, yeah.
41:06 Kylie Kelce? Holy fucking nostalgia. We actually have the clip.
41:29 Kylie Kelce? Now, how excited were you to do this?
41:32 Speaker 06 I was so excited.
41:34 Kylie Kelce? Did you know that it would take over the internet the way it did? Because I had a feeling. I don't know. I always get I always get worried because my algorithm is based on what I watch, right? My generation, I kid you not, it was every single.
41:54 Kylie Kelce? It was like six deep before I got anything else and then it went right back to it because my algorithm knew what I wanted to see.
42:01 Speaker 06 Oh, my God, you're so sweet.
42:02 Kylie Kelce? What was the best part of it? Was it like the eruption of the cheer?
42:06 Speaker 06 The eruption.
42:07 Kylie Kelce? Was it?
42:07 Speaker 06 Yeah, definitely.
42:08 Kylie Kelce? God, was it so good?
42:09 Speaker 06 It was so loud. It was so fun.
42:13 Kylie Kelce? As it should have been.
42:14 Speaker 06 Everyone was just like, everyone was going crazy and and I, I think we all shared that same enthusiasm for the performance because for the Jonas Brothers and I, it was getting back on stage for the first time together. And however many years, it was really nostalgic for us as well. And so, you know, hearing the crowd erupt with enthusiasm, the way that we were excited to perform it just felt right and was really.
42:47 Speaker 06 Rewarding.
42:48 Kylie Kelce? That's so cool. And the real ones know, uh, when it comes to TikTok, I always say, you gotta run to the comment section. Um, so I gotta shout out the top comment with 639,000 likes. All we're missing and it is, it is the Disney knees.
43:08 Speaker 06 Yeah.
43:08 Kylie Kelce? Or the Disney's, if you will.
43:10 Speaker 06 The Disney's.
43:11 Kylie Kelce? Um, for anyone who is unfamiliar with this phenomenon, can you explain to them the Disney knees?
43:17 Speaker 06 The Disney's, I can't explain it. I just have to do it. Um, no, it's like when you're standing up and you're so excited to be on stage that your knees collapse into each other. And that's all I can,
43:30 Kylie Kelce? That's the best explanation.
43:32 Speaker 06 Yeah.
43:32 Kylie Kelce? That's so good.
43:33 Speaker 06 My knees glitch.
43:36 Kylie Kelce? Now circling back to that concert, the eruption of, of cheer and everything, but I was also talking about to Ed Sheeran about the idea of which artists would be considered a cheat code for the loudest crowd in their hometowns. Is there anyone that you can think about? I said, we, Ed and I agreed, bringing Eminem out in Detroit would be like.
43:55 Speaker 06 Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
43:58 Kylie Kelce? Cheat code.
43:59 Speaker 06 Cheat code.
44:00 Kylie Kelce? Who, who would you think?
44:01 Speaker 06 When I think of like, the loudest crowds, I think of like, I think of Taylor. Like she'll, she'd probably have the loudest crowd.
44:10 Kylie Kelce? That one's easy. You put Taylor in Philly, we're gonna be loud.
44:17 Kylie Kelce? Is there anyone in Dallas that you think, besides you?
44:20 Speaker 06 Besides me?
44:21 Kylie Kelce? Uh, maybe Beyonce in Houston?
44:23 Speaker 06 Oh, Beyonce in Houston, duh.
44:25 Kylie Kelce? Yeah.
44:25 Speaker 06 Yeah, definitely.
44:26 Kylie Kelce? I'm trying to think of, I feel like the, the artists who sort of rep their hometown really hard are the ones who would get like the biggest.
44:34 Speaker 06 Yes, of course. I just thought of an artist.
44:37 Kylie Kelce? Please.
44:37 Speaker 06 Bad Bunny in Puerto Rico. That would be the loudest crowd.
44:43 Speaker 05 That would pop off in a way that I cannot, I want to see that. Right? Yes.

48:53 Kylie Kelce? I mentioned this earlier, but I absolutely was a Disney Channel kid growing up and I've seen Camp Rock a couple of times. I also love the Princess Protection Program. I think that that was very underrated and my girls have watched it once and they're very young, but they just loved the suggestion of like, we could, we'll be princesses?
49:15 Speaker 06 Yes.
49:16 Kylie Kelce? Sure. First of all, when was the last time you watched Camp Rock?
49:22 Speaker 06 So I watched Camp Rock like a couple of years ago, or maybe it was more recently.
49:29 Kylie Kelce? Was it to pregame the concert?
49:31 Speaker 06 I wanted to show, I wanted to show Jordan, my husband, Camp Rock. He had, he didn't, he wasn't a Disney kid growing up, so he didn't see any of that.
49:39 Kylie Kelce? So you had to educate him?
49:40 Speaker 06 I had to educate him.
49:41 Kylie Kelce? Got it.
49:41 Speaker 06 We still have yet to watch Camp Rock 2 and I haven't showed him Princess Protection Program. So we have some work to do.
49:49 Kylie Kelce? Sounds like you've got movie night lined up for a little while.
49:52 Speaker 06 Exactly.
49:53 Kylie Kelce? Now, what does he think, what did he think of Camp Rock?
49:58 Speaker 06 Um, he thought it was cute. You know, he was like, I, like, this is where you got your start. That's amazing.
50:05 Kylie Kelce? I will say, every single time someone references Camp Rock, immediately in my head, it starts going, this is real. Like, I can't stop it. Now it's going in my head and I will have that for the next three days. And Camp Rock 3.
50:22 Speaker 06 I'm an executive producer on it.
50:24 Kylie Kelce? Yes, you are.
50:25 Speaker 06 Yes.
50:25 Kylie Kelce? Does that mean?
50:27 Speaker 06 Does that mean, I don't know. We'll have to wait and see.
50:30 Kylie Kelce? Blink twice if you'll tell me in later.
50:36 Kylie Kelce? Um, so like you said, you're an executive producer.
50:39 Speaker 06 Yeah.
50:40 Kylie Kelce? It comes out this summer.
50:41 Speaker 06 Yes.
50:42 Kylie Kelce? What can you tell us?
50:45 Speaker 06 We are making way for the new generation to shine their light as bright as they are. And it's just really exciting to see a new generation step into the footsteps of, of us and, um, and just like.
51:05 Speaker 06 Yeah, it's beautiful to watch a generation of new actors and performers have their moment. And I can't wait to see the final product.
51:16 Kylie Kelce? This will be the perfect time to do a movie night with your husband.
51:21 Speaker 06 Yes.
51:21 Kylie Kelce? For Camp Rock 2 to pregame Camp Rock 3.
51:24 Speaker 06 Yes.
51:25 Kylie Kelce? This is perfect.
51:26 Speaker 06 Yes.
51:27 Kylie Kelce? Um, there's, uh, speaking of Camp Rock and all the success you had in your Disney Channel days, did you ever, uh, reach out to other Disney actresses for advice, um, or to just talk about that experience?
51:40 Speaker 06 Like, are you saying, like actresses that were on Disney before me?
51:43 Kylie Kelce? Yes.
51:44 Speaker 06 No, I didn't. And I think I was like really intimidated and kind of like shy when it came to asking for advice. Um, like I never had a mentor either. Like I didn't, I don't know. I just felt like, I think I was maybe just shy. Um, I wish that I had. I wish that I had gotten advice and, um, I think it would have saved me a lot of trial and errors, like figuring shit out on my own kind of thing. Um, but I,
52:19 Speaker 06 like, I'm grateful for the path that I've had without a mentor, without advice from others. So.
52:25 Kylie Kelce? Do you, not having that mentor role yourself, do you feel like inclined to offer that to others that are coming up now?
52:34 Speaker 06 Love to be a mentor to somebody. Um, and like, guide someone through the journey that I went on because when you do it alone, there's no manual on how to be a pop star. And, um,
52:53 Speaker 06 and there's certain things that I would tell, I actually did give like a, a little mini pep talk to the new cast of Camp Rock. When I first met them, I met them as a group and I was just like, hey, guys, you know, um,
53:11 Speaker 06 and I, I gave them some advice. I'm trying to think what advice I gave them. Um, it was like, you know, don't be afraid to, uh,
53:22 Speaker 06 ask for time off, like.
53:25 Speaker 06 Take care of yourself first. It's really important that you take care of your mental health and so that you can do the other things that you want to do, like performing and acting.
53:40 Speaker 06 But if you don't have your mental health, or if you get burnt out, like that can all go away. And so it's just like, it's important to take care of yourself.
53:47 Kylie Kelce? That's such an important message. You of course got to meet so many incredible people in your career. And I'm sure it just continues to happen. But do you ever feel like you met someone along the way that made you truly starstruck?
54:06 Speaker 06 Yes, I giggle.
54:07 Kylie Kelce? Besides Christina and Kelly?
54:09 Speaker 06 Yes. I giggle because I get starstruck by like, the most unassuming people, I guess. Like, I could be in a room.
54:22 Speaker 06 I I've been starstruck by huge artists, but like, the most recent starstruck that I got was I was in a room with Lisa Barlow from The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. And I literally, we were at a holiday party, and I saw her in the room, and I just like, walked out of the room. And my husband was like, you glitched, didn't you? You you had to walk out of the room.
54:45 Kylie Kelce? That was such a clear and defined answer of fight or flight.
54:49 Speaker 06 I was like, I'm just gonna keep walking.
54:53 Kylie Kelce? You Irish goodbye'd the fuck out of that room, Justin, because you were like, my brain can't handle this.
54:58 Speaker 06 The thing was, is I went right back in the room.
55:00 Kylie Kelce? Yeah.
55:00 Speaker 06 Because I needed the food. It was like, the room, the room was, had a buffet in it. I was there for dinner. And I was like, I have to eat the food. And I also wanted to like, say hi. I just like.
55:09 Kylie Kelce? Did you say hi?
55:11 Speaker 06 Glitched. She actually said hi to me, which was really cool. And no, she said hi to me.
55:17 Kylie Kelce? That's amazing that if you get that, like, excited to see someone, and then they're like, oh, hi. And you're like, oh, my God, they wanted to say hi to me, too?
55:25 Speaker 06 Yes. So that was funny. And and it was a sweet little moment. She was nice. And
55:33 Speaker 06 and I was totally starstruck.
55:36 Kylie Kelce? Love that so much.
55:37 Speaker 06 Yeah.
55:38 Kylie Kelce? Um, speaking of starstruck, you were a judge on the X Factor.
55:42 Speaker 06 I was.
55:42 Kylie Kelce? Uh, along with Britney Spears.
55:44 Speaker 06 Yes.
55:45 Kylie Kelce? What was that like? And would you ever want to return to singing competitions?
55:48 Speaker 06 I would only return if Britney was a judge next to me.
55:52 Kylie Kelce? Easy.
55:52 Speaker 06 Yeah. Um, it was so much fun. Um, it was a lot of work, I will say, and I invested like so much of my energy into my contestants that were a part of my team that like I would get devastated when they would get sent home. Like, I really was like, like, I'm all in. I was all in. And so, um, I think the emotional toll it takes on you is kind of like a lot because you just invest so much of your time and energy into these people's careers and it's the beginning of their careers. And so when they don't go on to the next round, you're kind of like, oh, my God, did, was that my fault? Like, did I pick the wrong song for them or whatever
56:33 Speaker 06 it is? And so you just invest so much into the contestants and, um, and so, yeah, I just like, I think, yeah, I would only do it if Britney was next to me again.
56:48 Kylie Kelce? I don't, we'll, we'll try and manifest it.
56:50 Speaker 06 Yeah, we'll manifest it.
56:51 Kylie Kelce? Sure, why not? Um, you've performed on so many big stages, Grammys, VMA, Super Bowl, National Anthem. Do you have a favorite?
57:00 Speaker 06 I would say my, like, looking back, my favorite memory, my favorite stage that I've performed on would have to be the Super Bowl. Um, the National Anthem, because it was just like, there's something about the Super Bowl, everyone's watching it. And I was so nervous. I blacked out when I started singing. Like, I don't, I finished and I was like, was that good?
57:28 Kylie Kelce? And you still nailed it?
57:29 Speaker 06 I don't know, was that good?
57:30 Kylie Kelce? That's so impressive.
57:31 Speaker 06 I was so, um, nervous that I just like.
57:35 Kylie Kelce? That's insane that that version of a National Anthem was autopilot. That's crazy. Um, would you ever do it again?
57:43 Speaker 06 Yeah, I would do it again.
57:45 Kylie Kelce? Okay, NFL. Let's go. Um, maybe we could manifest halftime.
57:52 Speaker 06 I would love to manifest that.
57:54 Kylie Kelce? Okay, let's do halftime.
57:55 Speaker 06 I got a ways to go before halftime, but that would be sick.
58:01 Kylie Kelce? I think, I think we could plant the seed at the very least.
58:03 Speaker 06 Yes.
58:04 Kylie Kelce? We'll plant the seed. Uh, now something else we have in common is that we both like to cook. So I'm very excited about your brand.
58:11 Speaker 06 You like to cook.
58:12 Kylie Kelce? I do.
58:12 Speaker 06 Nice.
58:13 Kylie Kelce? Um, one plate at a time, recipes for finding freedom with food, which comes out March 17th. Uh, the first question, and I have to ask it. I think you can probably guess.
58:26 Kylie Kelce? Demi, what is your favorite dish?
58:31 Speaker 06 I didn't see that one coming.
58:32 Kylie Kelce? No?
58:32 Speaker 06 No, I didn't.
58:34 Kylie Kelce? Queen Emma swore you would.
58:35 Speaker 06 Okay, my newest favorite dish is this pickle mug. It's like a mug that looks like a pickle. I love pickles and I love mugs.
58:45 Kylie Kelce? Oh, perfect.
58:46 Speaker 06 And my cousin Brayden got me that for Christmas this year. It was like a pickle mug and it's my new favorite dish.
58:52 Kylie Kelce? I'm gonna, you're, I'm gonna take this in a direction that Queen Emma was not prepared for. Do you have a favorite pickle?
59:00 Speaker 06 Oh. I actually do. It's, um, Velasquez dill pickles, just original dill.
59:08 Kylie Kelce? The spear?
59:09 Speaker 06 Not the spear, the whole pickle.
59:11 Kylie Kelce? Okay.
59:11 Speaker 06 I know.
59:12 Kylie Kelce? Okay.
59:12 Speaker 06 But they're like, they're like this big. They're not like the movie theater pickles.
59:17 Kylie Kelce? I'm sorry, what?
59:19 Speaker 06 Okay, movie theater pickles, that's a Texas thing.
59:22 Kylie Kelce? What?
59:23 Speaker 06 That's a Texas thing, so.
59:24 Kylie Kelce? Is this going to be the first thing from Texas I've ever liked?
59:28 Speaker 06 Maybe.
59:29 Kylie Kelce? Well, that's a lie because you're from Texas.
59:30 Speaker 06 Oh, thank you. And Kelly Clarkson is from Texas.
59:33 Kylie Kelce? I know. Okay. First concept from Texas that I've ever liked. Okay, go ahead.
59:38 Speaker 06 When I came to LA, the first time I was out here, um, and I went to the movies at the Grove, I was like, can I have a pickle? And they were like, what? And I was like, yeah, I'll have a pickle with my popcorn. And they were like, where, where are you from? Like, we don't do that here. And I was like, and that's when I realized, I was like, oh, it must be a southern thing or like a Texas thing. Um.
59:59 Kylie Kelce? They give you a whole ass deli pickle.
1:00:03 Speaker 06 Pickle. In like this big jug. The jug is like this big. It's like just tons of big pickles.
1:00:11 Kylie Kelce? This is like a barrel pickle from the deli.
1:00:12 Speaker 06 Yes.
1:00:13 Kylie Kelce? You're fucking kidding me.
1:00:15 Speaker 06 And you, you eat it while you watch your movie and it's the best snack. It's, it lasts you the whole movie.
1:00:22 Kylie Kelce? Fuck off.
1:00:25 Speaker 05 This is not a revelation I was prepared to have today.
1:00:27 Kylie Kelce? Yeah. What?
1:00:29 Speaker 06 I'm serious.
1:00:30 Kylie Kelce? With your popcorn.
1:00:32 Speaker 06 Dead serious.
1:00:32 Kylie Kelce? That sounds delicious.
1:00:34 Speaker 06 Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You take a piece of the popcorn and you dip it on the pickle. It's really good.
1:00:41 Kylie Kelce? Oh, I know what I'm doing when I get home.
1:00:43 Speaker 06 Yeah.
1:00:45 Kylie Kelce? Wow. That was not, I wasn't, I wasn't ready for that.
1:00:50 Kylie Kelce? This is, you might have, you've just disrupted my whole thought process.
1:00:54 Speaker 06 You're welcome.
1:00:54 Kylie Kelce? Okay, I'm gonna get back on it. I'm gonna get back. We're back. I'm gonna, I'm gonna calm it down. A fucking movie theater pickle.
1:00:59 Speaker 06 Yeah.
1:01:01 Kylie Kelce? Wow. Now,
1:01:05 Kylie Kelce? I'm gonna ask for real now. Not about your pickle mug, which sounds lovely. From your new cookbook.
1:01:13 Speaker 06 Yes.
1:01:13 Kylie Kelce? What is your favorite dish?
1:01:15 Speaker 06 It would be like picking a favorite child. I can't pick just one recipe.
1:01:21 Kylie Kelce? Do you have a favorite right now?
1:01:23 Speaker 06 I really love
1:01:24 Kylie Kelce? Hold you to it.
1:01:24 Speaker 06 My chili.
1:01:26 Kylie Kelce? Oh, it's the perfect
1:01:28 Speaker 06 But like, sometimes I really get into like a beef stew phase where like I make that a lot.
1:01:34 Kylie Kelce? I made the mac and cheese. Perfect for, we're coming up on Super Bowl.
1:01:39 Speaker 06 Yes.
1:01:40 Kylie Kelce? Chili is the perfect game day.
1:01:42 Speaker 06 Do you want to know what I'm gonna do for
1:01:43 Kylie Kelce? In your pickle mug?
1:01:45 Speaker 06 Maybe. But also, I'm gonna have my own Super Bowl.
1:01:51 Speaker 06 Where I'm gonna have my friends come over. We each pick a soup to make. And
1:01:58 Kylie Kelce? A super bowl.
1:02:02 Speaker 06 And so everyone picks, everyone picks a soup that they have to make and they bring it to
1:02:07 Kylie Kelce? Stop it.
1:02:08 Speaker 06 The Super Bowl. And whoever makes the best soup wins.
1:02:11 Kylie Kelce? Wins.
1:02:12 Speaker 06 Yeah.
1:02:13 Kylie Kelce? I love this. Is there a prize?
1:02:15 Speaker 06 Uh,
1:02:16 Kylie Kelce? Maybe.
1:02:17 Speaker 06 I have to think of one.
1:02:18 Kylie Kelce? We'll check back.
1:02:19 Speaker 06 Maybe it's the pickle mug. I'll have to consult with my cousin Brayden.
1:02:23 Kylie Kelce? You'll have to find another one. You cannot, you cannot for sure give away the pickle mug.
1:02:27 Speaker 06 I know, I know.
1:02:28 Kylie Kelce? Now, what made you want to put out this cookbook?
1:02:31 Speaker 06 So I started cooking like a few years ago. I am not an expert by any means. But I'm somebody that's in recovery from an eating disorder. And when I first
1:02:46 Speaker 06 When I first got into recovery, food was very, very overwhelming for me to the point where when I would go to the grocery store, I would break down in tears because there was just food everywhere. And that to me was the enemy at the time. And when I got into recovery, they taught me the importance and the value of of cooking and repairing your relationship with food through that way. And I found that cooking gives me I found that cooking just kind of helps build my relationship with food in a way
1:03:27 Speaker 06 that like, I trust the food and and it's fun. Or say you don't have, you know, an eating disorder and you're not in recovery and you want recipes that are just easy and tips on on how to, you know, how to get started in the kitchen, like, you could be that person too. Cooking has been so healing for me and my recovery.
1:03:53 Kylie Kelce? It is. I always say this, especially when I have guests on, I always like to give flowers where they're due. And I cannot thank you enough for being so open about your process and your recovery and what you went through because raising four girls in this world, it's important to have people who will speak up about those types of things that are impacting a lot of people oftentimes silently. So I really, really appreciate you not only creating this cookbook, but just even starting that conversation, you being open to discussing it is so incredibly special for other people who are also going through it. So thank you.
