Kylie on Wyatt Starting Kindergarten, First Moving In With Jason & Operation Barn Cat | Ep. 34

Kylie's back with a brand new SOLO episode of Not Gonna Lie, presented by ZipRecruiter, kicking off back-to-school season and the start of the NFL! Real Ones, the Birds are officially BACK (!!!) so go grab your wooden spoons! In this week’s edition of “You Know What’s F**ked Up?” Kylie reacts to Wyatt starting kindergarten (2:57). She debates if she will cry after her first drop off or not, but realizes Wyatt has officially broken the Kelce legacy of getting kicked out of preschool like Jason and Travis. After that, Kylie goes all in on the 2025 Philadelphia Eagles in “Can I Be Honest?” before their first game against the Cowboys in the NFL Season opener. She gives her best “predictions” for game day traditions without being a jinx (5:57). Then Kylie answers some of your questions in “Ask Me Some Things” and finally gives an update on if Bennie has finally come around to Finn (13:39). Kylie gives her the next steps to getting a barn cat, plus breaks down how they would name it. And she admits how she hides her sweet treats from her toddlers. Kylie watches videos from her “Doomscroll of the Week” where she comments on the best possible rage bait for Cowboys fans (21:02). And even figures out a new way to redirect her kids when ‘mom’ is said too many times, so much that you just have to change your name. Even further, Kylie gets honest about sending kids back-to-school, and back-to-school shopping (28:03). Then she encourages all teachers to send in a video of their wishlists with the link to @nglwithkylie for a chance for their lists to be fulfilled, and even featured on the show (30:28). Finally, Kylie in back to school fashion does an “Animal Nerd Pop Quiz” to test her knowledge of all animal facts (40:59). She even realizes that Queen Emma has a favorite letter for the correct answer, and truly proves her animal intelligence.

• 0:50Kylie Kelce?

  Not gonna lie, Benny asked me to wear these Santa glasses for the whole episode, but I can at least wear them for the cold open. Ho, ho, ho! Let's get this podcast started.

• 1:05Kylie Kelce?

  Welcome to a very special back-to-school/NFL kickoff episode of Not Gonna Lie. It's a Wave original brought to you by ZipRecruiter. I'm your host, Kylie Kelsey, officially a mom of a kindergartner.

• 1:21Kylie Kelce?

  I'm still not sure if I'm okay with that.

• 1:25Kylie Kelce?

  No. My toxic trait is trying to order one of everything. I want to try, I want to try it all. I do on almost every menu. I just want to try everything, one of everything, just a little bite. And most importantly, go Birds! That's right, we made it real ones tonight is NFL kickoff, and it's Birds vs. Cowboys at the link. I love it. I've said it before, on game days, life is not happening.

• 1:52Kylie Kelce?

  Eagles are happening. For right now, all I'll say is it's time to break out the spoons!

• 2:00Kylie Kelce?

  Yeah, I did just do the rally horn with my voice. Hold on, hold on. It'll be worth it, I promise.

• 2:11Kylie Kelce?

  Could Brad just add that in post? Yes. Is it better off my phone?

• 2:17Kylie Kelce?

  Also, yes. For anyone new to the show that has no idea what this means, it means that football season is upon us and you can't be a jinx. So you gotta knock on wood sometimes. And sometimes the only wood you can find that's not fake wood around you.

• 2:35Kylie Kelce?

  You found out the hard way one day during a record that that desk is not real wood. When you hear knocking,

• 2:42Kylie Kelce?

  it's, it's because I have to.

• 2:48Kylie Kelce?

  Fuck, that's not real wood. So might have to knock on her today. Coming up on today's back to school slash NFL kickoff special, you're going to get my second ever solo episode. I'm so sorry for you. That's right. Unfortunately, you're stuck with just me for the next 48 minutes as I try to work through the emotions of Wyatt starting kindergarten and my favorite team playing our nemesis in real time. It's not going great. Queen, are you sure this is a good idea? So if I can actually focus, if, big if, the plan is to get honest about all things back to school. I'll answer a bunch of your ask me something questions because, you know, you guys had to have some parameters.

• 3:32Kylie Kelce?

  The latest on the barn cat and how Benny is adjusting to Finn five months in. Plus, I'll give you my non-football football predictions about kickoff. And let's get right into it today. I'm going to kick things off with a banger here. It's one of my all time favorite segments. You know what's fucked up? Hey, you know what's fucked up? My baby is suddenly old enough to be a kindergartner. Oh, my God.

• 3:58Kylie Kelce?

  No.

• 4:01Kylie Kelce?

  Oh, I don't like calling her a baby and then saying she's going to kindergarten.

• 4:07Kylie Kelce?

  Give it a second. Okay.

• 4:12Kylie Kelce?

  Wyatt has officially started kindergarten, which is fucked up.

• 4:17Kylie Kelce?

  Uh, I'm not feeling great about it. It makes me sad. I swear she just came out. So it's kind of weird to send her to school like officially.

• 4:33Kylie Kelce?

  Do I think I'll cry at drop off? No. Will I cry driving home from drop off? Yes. I can almost guarantee that. Wyatt is so excited about kindergarten. I'm so excited for her because she's excited, but also no. She has resorted to telling the adults in our house, myself, my husband, my mom, my dad, that uh she's growing up on us as a way to, you know, twist the dagger. I don't like it and it's hurting my feelings.

• 5:16Kylie Kelce?

  It's she's excited that she gets to eat lunch at school. And also I think she's just excited to be back with her friends. She's such a little social butterfly. She loves being around kids her own age. She loves playing. She's like built for that. So I'll just be over here sad.

• 5:41Kylie Kelce?

  It's very, very sad. Queen Emma asked, have you and Jason realized this also means why officially did not get kicked out of preschool like her dad and her uncle?

• 5:53Kylie Kelce?

  This is the first time I'm realizing that and I'm calling that a win. We are one for four so far and I um kind of love that. I love our odds there, um, starting off strong.

• 6:05Kylie Kelce?

  I don't, I think Ellie will also achieve kindergarten without getting kicked out of preschool. Can't say the same for Benny.

• 6:16Kylie Kelce?

  She is the ringer and uh I just don't have faith that she will not

• 6:23Kylie Kelce?

  do something diabolical. Let's just put it, she will do something that will, at the very least, put us on a very serious phone call. And I know that, I know that because I know Benny. Yikes. That does it for you know what's fucked up. Moving on, I'm going to talk even more about back to school in a little bit, but first I've got to get honest about the 2025 Eagles.

• 6:53Kylie Kelce?

  How am I feeling? I have faith in the Birds,

• 7:00Kylie Kelce?

  but not too much faith. I don't have any first game of the season rituals. I kind of just face it head on. You just have to, it's starting, we're here. You make sure that you wear your Eagles gear on game day, no matter what, whether you're going to the stadium or not, you gotta rep it. I don't mind being the opening kickoff game because quite frankly, ignorance is bliss. And I didn't even know that was the case because all I knew was that the Eagles started that day. I don't know that the NFL starts that day because I would know that once it got, once the season was underway. But when I tell you I have tunnel vision for the Birds, I mean, I have tunnel vision for the Birds.

• 7:45Kylie Kelce?

  And of course, the Chiefs, but like, you get it. That's, there's, there's two schedules in our house that matter during football season.

• 7:55Kylie Kelce?

  And so I would have come to that conclusion. There are a few things as electric as Lincoln Financial Field for an Eagles kickoff game. So I can't wait. I'm so excited. Let's go. Let's just, let's, let's fucking go. Okay, now, since I'm talking about the game, I figured I'd quickly do some kickoff predictions, except the real ones know I believe in jinx's far too much to give any real predictions about the actual game. So instead, here are my predictions about everything else. Essentially, instead of guessing how many TDs Saquon will score, I'm going to predict things like what color shirt Big Dom will be wearing. You get it. So Queen Emma has written out several home opener scenarios,

• 8:39Kylie Kelce?

  and I'm going to respond to each with my best prediction. Queen Emma said, I'm probably going to need my spoon, so got it. Number one, how many times will I say fuck the Cowboys from the moment I step into the parking lot to when I return to the car post-game?

• 8:58Kylie Kelce?

  Over/under 30 times? I'd say over. Over 30 times for sure. That is honestly one of the key bonding moments that you get to experience in Lincoln Financial Field on a game day against the Cowboys. So I will be partaking in that. What else will I be saying? That's one of the downsides of going to watch a game in person. I have said it a number of times now that when I go to the stadium, I am not allowed to be as free with my thoughts and feelings as I am in my own living room, in the privacy of my own home.

• 9:43Kylie Kelce?

  So I will probably be saying significantly less curse words in the stadium than I will when I watch games at home. So now, will I think them? Yes. That's probably going to be the entire narration of my inner thoughts. Number two, what Eagles jersey or shirt will I be wearing to the game? That's game time decision. I have a couple of favorites. Oh God, this is where I get into like my, this is where I, now that I'm thinking about

• 10:26Kylie Kelce?

  it, I'm like, my superstitions are starting to rage. I can wear either Kelly or midnight green. I also have some black Eagles shirts. It has to, I have to have at least one of the new Eagles head logo, not the old school eagle, although that is my favorite Eagles logo is the old school eagle. I have to have at least one newer eagle head somewhere on my person. Why? Couldn't fucking tell you. Number three, how many minutes after I walk into the link will I be holding a container of Chickie and Pete's crab fries?

• 11:06Kylie Kelce?

  I see, it depends, because if I go with Jason, it takes us a lot longer to get to our destination. So I would say minimum 10 minutes, maximum 30.

• 11:25Kylie Kelce?

  Fun fact, I say no cheese. There's a cheese sauce, it's phenomenal. It's so delicious, but I don't want it in the stadium for some reason. I just want the fries.

• 11:42Kylie Kelce?

  God, I'm excited for those fries. They're so good. Number four, if the broadcast cuts to Jason, will you be next to him or hiding in a corner somewhere? You already know the answer to this. I'll be hiding in the corner.

• 11:56Kylie Kelce?

  I love to sit next to my husband. I enjoy sitting next to him for football games because then I can either hear his feedback when he talks to himself about it, or I can actively ask him questions while it's happening. That makes the game even more fun to watch and more enriching because you have a deeper understanding.

• 12:26Kylie Kelce?

  But, but I, at the risk of ending up on the Jumbotron, I will probably find myself somewhere else. Or maybe I'll try to ask around, get to the bottom of when they would be. They have a very strict run of show that the people in the stadium do an outstanding job producing for the entire stadium. So maybe I can just like get a hint.

• 12:53Kylie Kelce?

  Oh. Hold on. You can send the girls into the house at 10 first. There's about to be a clusterfuck of children. I'm just warning you ahead of time. Hi babies.

• 13:06Kylie Kelce?

  Oh, you're ready for Miss Cindy? Yeah. This is the cutest thing I've ever seen. My babies, my babies, my babies, babies, babies. Do you want to come show your haircut? Come here. Hi. What's that?

• 13:20Speaker 02

  Uh, Simon come over.

• 13:23Kylie Kelce?

  What's, you want Simon to come over? Did you love that Queen Emma came to visit us today?

• 13:28Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 13:29Kylie Kelce?

  Yes. Look at me.

• 13:31Speaker 02

  What?

• 13:32Kylie Kelce?

  Over here, in person.

• 13:34Speaker 02

  What?

• 13:37Kylie Kelce?

  What's on mom's eyes? Hey, quiet voice, please. I see. You can have that. You can take it. Hey, come here. Why do you guys come in here and raid all the boxes?

• 13:46Speaker 03

  Mom, mom.

• 13:48Kylie Kelce?

  Bye.

• 13:48Speaker 03

  How come you didn't put my ghost one up there?

• 13:52Kylie Kelce?

  Oh, why? That's such a good... Oh, Emma, remember when you said you needed new artwork? Ta-da. Okay, bye. Wyatt, take the little house. Wyatt, take the little house. Please? Okay. Number five. What are the odds I lose my voice from booing the Cowboys for three hours straight? Um, slim. Because, like I said, I have to be on my best behavior in the link.

• 14:20Kylie Kelce?

  But I'll be thinking it.

• 14:24Kylie Kelce?

  And that does it for Can I Be Honest? And my non-football football predictions. Moving on, let's take a little football intermission here and get into some of the questions the real ones sent in for Ask Me Some Things because Ask Me Anything was far too open-ended. Seriously, you guys gotta get a grip. Okay, let's get right into it. First question from Beth Erickson 7. Update on Benny and if she likes Finn yet? Beth, I'm so glad you asked. Over the last five months,

• 14:53Kylie Kelce?

  we have definitely had progress. Benny will still tell people to put her down, but it has progressed from put it down, which I'm gonna call progress. We also have had a few times where Benny actually talks to Finn, or what she likes to call plays with Finn. I don't necessarily know if I would classify it as playing, but she's trying her best and she is engaging in positive interactions. So, calling it a win.

• 15:28Kylie Kelce?

  I have asked her recently, should we keep her? When I say that, I mean it in like a playful way. But I have said, hey Benny, do you think we should keep her? And she said, yes. So, that's great. To be fair, previously she has answered no. So, again, progress. We'll take it. Next, from TBB underscore nine. How's the barn cat doing? Well, we don't have one.

• 15:57Kylie Kelce?

  When we need to find one, I don't think it will be difficult. I think that at some point, we can venture our way out to Lancaster County and drive around for a little bit and find a house that has a sign that says kittens, usually painted on an old piece of wood. And then we can just roll up. Those are not, they're, they're probably not well socialized kittens.

• 16:25Kylie Kelce?

  So that will be our barn cat opportunity. I'm a big proponent of going to the PSPCA and snatching one of those cats up. But I think, again, typically, those are going to be the cats that are more, they're destined to be an indoor cat. They've probably lived a couple of lives before they ended up there.

• 16:50Kylie Kelce?

  Yeah, so I, I think that at some point, or maybe, maybe the cat distribution system will grace us with a contribution. I get this on my TikTok feed all the time of people finding a puppy and then they get out of their car and there's seven puppies in the grass next to the highway. I think I've been preparing for that moment my whole life and I'm waiting for it to happen. Similarly, I'm listening for a faint meow at any point every single day of my life. An important follow up to a lot of cat questions would be what will the cat's name be? I know that my husband is on board with this, so I'm going to go ahead and say this.

• 17:33Kylie Kelce?

  I love the idea of a cat being named after a food. I love the idea of any pet being named after a food.

• 17:41Kylie Kelce?

  I think it's hilarious. I think it's adorable. I think it is charming. I love it. I love everything about it. The girls will be asked about what they would like to name a cat, but their

• 17:56Kylie Kelce?

  their submissions will probably be dismissed pretty quickly. Because I've heard what they've come up with in other situations. Finn's nickname.

• 18:11Kylie Kelce?

  Is Pickle because Ellie said she wanted to name Finn Pickle and then she was committed, fully committed to the name Pickle. So if they wanted to name a tiny human Pickle, actually Pickles would be a great name for a cat. So maybe I'll go to Ellie for this one. Maybe I'll pretend that they're naming a human and they'll give me a better cat name. If I ask them for a name for a cat, they're going to tell me Sheila. So I'd rather a cat named Pickles than a cat named Sheila. Anyway, and lastly, go to favorite treat. You hide from your kids slash husband. Are you successful in hiding?

• 18:55Kylie Kelce?

  A sweet treat, any sweet treat, literally any sweet treat. I have a sweet tooth. I love a sweet treat. Not all sweet treats, but a lot of sweet treats. Here's the deal. Best part is I don't have to hide it from my husband. We have slightly varying preferences when it comes to sweets. He's an ice cream guy. I'm not really an ice cream person. It works out great because I love chocolate cake. He's not that big into chocolate cake. He'll eat it. Same way I'll eat ice cream. But I don't, it's not something I would seek out, which makes us very complimentary. And I love that for me. Also, if he wanted to share something, I would share it with him in a heartbeat.

• 19:36Kylie Kelce?

  My kids, on the other hand, I will sneak donuts into the house. I will, I do have a stash at any given point of some type of sweet treat. Current sweet treat, there is an entire bag of Bunch of Crunch. If you know, you know, from BJ's. I got a whole bag of Bunch of Crunch. And occasionally I just grab a couple out on my way by. The key is, is that with three moving children, it's really hard to successfully sneak it and eat it before they realize. So I just always end up sharing a little bit with whichever child catches me. And that does it for Ask Me Some Things, part one. That's right.

• 20:19Kylie Kelce?

  I'm going to answer even more questions in part two, but first ZipRecruiter. As the real ones know, I've got a lot going on this fall.

Now, before I get into the rest of your questions, let's do what I do best and get scrolling. It's time for a new edition of Doom Scroll of the Week. First up, from @TheLegacyPlaybook, perhaps the best example of rage-baiting a Cowboys fan I've ever seen. Queen Emma, roll the clip, please.

• 22:08Speaker 04

  Oh, my gosh. I had no idea that VCRs were so expensive. On Amazon, they're like hundreds of dollars.

• 22:14Speaker 05

  Jesus. It's a good thing we don't need a VCR, though.

• 22:19Speaker 04

  I do need one. That's why I'm looking.

• 22:21Speaker 05

  What in the hell would you need a VCR for?

• 22:25Speaker 04

  I don't think you're going to find these movies that I want, anything but a VCR, because they're so old.

• 22:31Speaker 05

  What the hell is so old that where you can only get it on VHS and not DVD or find it on the internet? Like, what, what the hell would I need a VCR to watch? What?

• 22:44Speaker 04

  The Cowboys' Last Super Bowl.

• 22:48Kylie Kelce?

  For our audio listeners, this gentleman is wearing not only a cowboy's hat, but a cowboy's sweatshirt. And he is minding his own business, sitting on his couch, while his 49ers fan wife questions him meticulously. Okay? She absolutely, I mean, she, she wrote out this play and stuck to it. Okay? When I tell you this man walked himself directly into her trap, it was exquisite. Uh, I, I love that she went obscure.

• 23:30Kylie Kelce?

  She went far, she went far out. She went all the way to, I need, I need a VCR. And of course, he was like, no, you don't. Why would you need a VCR? She took him on a long walk. And he still took the bait. It was outstanding. Well done. Uh, I genuinely, I have, I have no notes on this one. It's very well done. I like it a lot. She is a hero to us and we welcome her with open arms. Next up on Doom Scroll, there might actually be a solution to my kids' constant, "Mom, Mom, Mommy, Mom, excuse me, Mom, Mama, Mom, Mommy," problem I mentioned recently.

• 24:14Kylie Kelce?

  Queen Emma, hit it!

• 24:16Speaker 06

  Okay, listen, you guys are saying Mom just a little too much. Okay? So for the next 10 minutes, please call me Tammy.

• 24:22Speaker 07

  Tammy?

• 24:23Speaker 06

  What's up?

• 24:23Speaker 07

  I am getting a book for my own game.

• 24:26Speaker 06

  The next 10 minutes, I need you guys to call me Cash Money Wreckers.

• 24:31Kylie Kelce?

  Whoa!

• 24:35Speaker 06

  My name is Lindsay McGuire and bonus points if you submit your request to my cartoon character.

• 24:41Kylie Kelce?

  I'm doing this immediately. So I have experienced getting to the point of saying, "That's it! I'm changing my name. I am no longer Mom."

• 24:55Kylie Kelce?

  That one has been used too much. I have not yet arrived at the destination that she has, which is providing an alternate. I can't wait. You can bet your bottom dollar, I'm going straight for a Babs, straight for a Babs. Shout out to my friend Amber. She knows. Leslie Nope, for sure. I would Leslie Nope all day. Um, I think I would go like Rabid Raccoon, just because if they call me Rabid Raccoon, then I can then act like a rabid raccoon in my response. And I feel like that's just matching their energy. I would absolutely choose an obscure rapper from the 90s. That would be a fun one. I think it might be kind

• 25:39Kylie Kelce?

  of fun to do a, um, like DJ Khalid, but yell it. Like they have to be like, DJ Khalid, you know? Yeah. And I will only answer with, we the best. You know, like one of those. That's what I'm, I'm doing this. I'm gonna do it and I'm gonna, I'm gonna stitch that mom. Is it stitch the right duet? Duet. I'm gonna TikTok it back to her. Is that not the oldest thing I've ever said? Oh no. I'm gonna TikTok it back to her. I can't believe I said that. That was horrific. Guys, let's forget I said that. And that's it for Doom Scroll of the Week.

• 26:23Kylie Kelce?

  Moving on, I wanted to use this special solo episode to debut a brand new segment I'm calling Tiny Human Question of the Week, brought to you by perplexity. Ultimately, anyone with tiny humans knows that you get asked, random asked questions that you honestly might not have the answer to on a very regular basis. I have gotten a number of questions about how things work, how things are made, specific animals, and like what one would have the most of something. It just, you can never quite, you never know where the question is going to end when it begins. And that is on having tiny humans. Well, now I'm finally

• 27:06Kylie Kelce?

  going to get them some answers. For this week's tiny human question, Ellie just asked me if there was such a thing as purple ballerinas, because quite honestly, I was trying to convince her to continue wearing the purple dress that she had been wearing for the entire morning.

• 27:24Kylie Kelce?

  That she then wanted to change out of, AKA make more laundry,

• 27:29Kylie Kelce?

  because she wanted to look like a ballerina. So we needed to convince her that there were purple ballerinas, AKA the purple dress that she had on could double as a ballerina. So, Queen Emma, can you please pull up perplexity and ask if purple ballerinas exist? Did you know there's a purple ballerina plant? Oh, perfect, perfect, perfect, perfect, perfect, perfect. Yes, there are purple ballerinas. The best part is, is that there's purple ballerina plants, but also we're able to get any of the answers that we need here. There are purple ballerina flats. We could get shoes to match the dress to really keep her in the purple ballerina moment. Now, the best part is, is that we could probably pop up to the top here for an image search too.

• 28:15Kylie Kelce?

  And convince, look at that, look at that second one. Go to, yep, that, that one. Yep, that'll convince her. Purple ballerina. Done. Go to the ones, oh, can we do the ones on the stage? Yes.

• 28:29Kylie Kelce?

  Purple ballerinas can refer to fashionable shoes, ornamental flowers, or imagery and costumes, but not a specific person or animal with that color or name. That's fair. That's all I needed was enough to convince her to keep the dress on. So I think we've got it.

  Less laundry for me. And that's it for Tiny Human Question of the Week, brought to you by perplexity. Now let's get back into the back to school zone because it's time for, you guessed it, can I be honest about back to school? Ah, as a mom, how does it feel to have some routine in your life again? It feels good and also not good. Uh, the idea of having structure again with school seems lovely. And then I realized that five days a week, I am going to have to make sure that these children are up, dressed, polished and out of the house with a lunch packed. And that...

• 29:33Kylie Kelce?

  You know?

• 29:36Kylie Kelce?

  Yikes. But also, they thrive in school. They love going to school. They love learning, which what more can I ask for? They're still in their play years of school. So they go to school and they play all day. Amazing. I am very excited that we will have our structure back. I am not excited about germs. I enjoy back to school shopping because I, with three moving children, I love when you get to buy colored pencils and crayons and pencils that are still fully intact. There's something satisfying about a fully intact writing utensil.

• 30:21Kylie Kelce?

  Because otherwise, they don't have a lid. They get snapped in half. All the crayons get ripped. Their paper gets peeled off. Benny, also, we had to evict most of, if not all of our glue sticks out of the house because, or into hiding. Because Benny is convinced that they're lipic.

• 30:46Kylie Kelce?

  So I kept finding her.

• 30:50Kylie Kelce?

  Not even finding her. She kept finding them and then putting them in whatever bag she was carrying around the house. And then she would occasionally take them out, but she knew better to turn her back to me and put on her lipic. And then she would turn around and because it's the purple that turns clear, it just started getting like a little messy.

• 31:11Kylie Kelce?

  Long story short, we did have to get some more glue sticks. So, yeah. Now, before I close out this segment, I'd like to put a very important call to action to our real one teachers out there. I have said before, I have a deep love and appreciation for educators. My grandmother worked in the public school system. My mom worked in the public school system and I worked in the public school system. All in all, I deeply appreciate our educators. They're important because they are shaping our youth. They take your kids all day, five days a week. They are trying to help them become knowledgeable and caring little humans.

• 31:53Kylie Kelce?

  And we're all in this together, guys. They are part of the village. That being said, my DMs filled with messages about wish lists and I want to help as many teachers as I can. So in an effort to give everyone a fair opportunity to have NGL help out with your wish list, please send in a quick video telling us about you and your class and tag at NGL with Kylie. Mind you, stick to the rules. We shouldn't see any kids' faces and probably not while they're in your classroom.

• 32:24Kylie Kelce?

  But we would also like for you to send us the link to your list. Next week, we'll feature some of those videos right here on the show. And then obviously, we'll cover some of the things on your wish list. The people at WAVE and here at NGL know that I have an affinity for charitable efforts. So we're just gonna, I'm not gonna say how many we'll cover, because that's between me and the wish list. But we'll just, I really think you should do it. You should submit it.

• 33:00Kylie Kelce?

  And again, those videos should be tagging at NGL with Kylie so that we can make sure that they are in our list. That does it for Can I Be Honest About Back to School. I'll be right back with a part two of Ask Me Some Things right after I rave about Uber Eats real quick. Greetings, real ones, and go Birds. Since we're talking back to school today, I wanted to make sure you guys got the best deal on school supplies for your kids. I know it's tough for any busy parent to find time to go hunting for school supplies, and this definitely includes me this year. With hockey, Wyatt starting kindergarten, and Jason back to broadcasting, it's for sure our busiest time, which is why I did some back to school shopping right on Uber Eats.

• 33:42Kylie Kelce?

  You can shop for everything on your school supply list up to 40% off. Markers? They've got those notebooks. Yep, with all sorts of colors and designs. Wyatt loves a unicorn. Unicorns and rainbows. That's it. We're, we're deep in the girliest girl options. Unicorns and rainbows. But it's not just the classic school supplies. We've got deals on electronics too, like calculators, headphones, and even tablets. I think we all remember in high school when you finally had to get a graphing calculator and you forgot to tell your parents that. So they ended up trying to find it on the last day before school started. Uber Eats could have helped with that. Don't stress about going back to school.

• 35:37Kylie Kelce?

  All right, let's get right into some more of the Real Ones questions for Ask Me Some Things, Part 2. And the theme of these first couple of questions appears to be asking me for advice. Oh, my God, why? Yikes. First up from Leah203, "How do you get adjusted to living with Jason?" Oh, I'm living with my BF and it's a weird feeling. Leah, boys, you know?

• 36:07Kylie Kelce?

  Men.

• 36:09Kylie Kelce?

  It just, I don't know. I, um, being a type C personality really helped out here.

• 36:18Kylie Kelce?

  I am very much the type of person that brushes things off if Jason walks out of his shoes and they're literally in step in the path in the house. I'm like, okay, I'll just push him to the side, put him back by the front door. Jason and I moved in together when we had been dating for

• 36:38Kylie Kelce?

  two or three years. We did live together before we were married. Crazy. Living in sin.

• 36:50Kylie Kelce?

  But, uh, I don't know, I didn't mind it. I, it didn't faze me.

• 36:59Kylie Kelce?

  The unexpected best part about it? Oh, for sure that you get to sleep next to them every night. That's my favorite. I don't like when Jason leaves. He knows that. I don't like sleeping without him next to me in bed. It bothers me.

• 37:15Kylie Kelce?

  Any beige flags come up during that early period? Jason's beige flags came up when we started dating and we weren't even living together. And it got to a point where I said to him, "I'm just gonna, I'm gonna take your laundry home and I'm gonna do it because it seems like you've half done three loads." When we first met, Jason didn't have a dresser. Let me tell you what was in his bedroom. A bed.

• 37:43Kylie Kelce?

  Period.

• 37:45Kylie Kelce?

  Christmas lights around the top.

• 37:49Kylie Kelce?

  That's it.

• 37:53Kylie Kelce?

  There was no overhead lighting in the room either.

• 38:00Kylie Kelce?

  When I tell people this, when I tell people the state that my husband was living in when we first met, and they say, and you still dated, I want you to understand how unbothered of a human being I am.

• 38:17Kylie Kelce?

  I couldn't care less. Genuinely, I thought it was hilarious. One of our biggest early on bonding experiences was going to the store to get him a lamp.

• 38:33Kylie Kelce?

  Wait for it. The lamp doubled as a bedside table because it was a square lamp, a standing lamp, a floor lamp, that had a shelf so that he could put things on it like a bedside table.

• 38:48Kylie Kelce?

  I find that to be hilarious. The only light he had in his room was a string of Christmas lights around the top that we still have, that we put on our Christmas tree. Because that was their original intention, okay? He couldn't turn the lights on by a switch. He had to plug them into the wall. He had a little balcony off of his room, a tiny little balcony, with doors and two windows, like full length, that had no curtains, of course. Don't be ridiculous. There was no window treatment on that whatsoever. So, at 6 o'clock in the morning when the sun came up, he was up. And he liked that. And quite honestly,

• 39:33Kylie Kelce?

  as a morning person, I can appreciate that. I actually enjoyed that, too.

• 39:39Kylie Kelce?

  I know, guys, I know who I married. One day, I'm gonna tell the vacuum story, and that's gonna be eye-opening for everyone. Yep, I loved living with Jason.

• 39:52Kylie Kelce?

  I still do.

• 39:54Kylie Kelce?

  This went on a deep dive. Leah, I hope you enjoy living with your boyfriend. Just understand that whatever you're feeling about living with a man is...

• 40:06Kylie Kelce?

  Probably universal. So don't get too, too deep in the weeds on that one. From Real One Nicole, how do you navigate toddler tantrums? This stage is not for the weak. There's a lot of self-talk that happens in our house right now during a toddler tantrum. I've, I think that if you can remind yourself that they are a tiny human. I know sometimes my initial reaction is like, they've gotta be kidding. And then I realize that they are four years old or two years old. And I think that them reacting as if the world is ending is because they true,

• 40:49Kylie Kelce?

  their world is truly, they think their world is ending. And so I try to have some grace, but at the same time, put your damn foot down. You know what I mean? Like, we gotta hold out.

• 41:07Kylie Kelce?

  Yeah, I think you gotta hold firm. That's what we are trying to do in our house. That's what I've always tried to do is hold firm. If my answer was no, it will still be no at the end of your tantrum. And I usually like to acknowledge, hey, I understand that you're frustrated with my answer, or I understand that my answer made you upset, but that is still my answer. So, um, I mean, we get tantrums for anything. Today, just this morning, Benny had a full-blown tantrum because somebody had the magic wand. And Benny thought, I can just take that because I want it. And she was told no, and then she had a full-blown meltdown.

• 41:52Kylie Kelce?

  And I let her have the meltdown. I let her go off. She stormed up the steps. She went in her room and she laid on the floor and cried for a little bit. And after about two to three minutes, I went upstairs and I said, hey, I get it. You're sad, but there's about approximately, give or take, a million and a half other toys downstairs that you can pick. And when Wyatt's done with the wand, all you, girl. Last from Gia, would you ever do an NGL meet and greet? Stay tuned, Gia. Maybe. Real Ones, you gotta let us know if you want this and what kind of event it should be because...

• 42:30Kylie Kelce?

  I have no thoughts about this. My brain is still confused by the fact that people want to meet me. Okay.

• 42:41Kylie Kelce?

  And that does it for Ask Me Some Things. Now, last thing before I close out this solo episode because this was our back to school special. Queen Emma wants to stick to the theme and close things out with a pop quiz. Oh, this is so exciting. And it looks like I have a choice between two different quizzes here. Queen Emma has prepared two options for me to choose my own adventure. Number one, animal trivia quiz. And number two, 2025 dating red flags trivia. Oh, no. I would like to try

• 43:11Kylie Kelce?

  the animals first. Once again, I have a stack of note cards here. That was very good.

• 43:19Kylie Kelce?

  With the answers to check my work as I go. Number one, what is the biggest type of turtle in the world? A, a leatherback sea turtle. B, a Galapagos tortoise turtle. That's terrible. I can't stand that you did that. C, green turtle. D, Yurtle the turtle. Here's the deal. Are we going on weight? I'm gonna go A, a leatherback sea turtle. Oh, ha! Leatherback sea turtle, 500 to 2,000 pounds. Those suckers are huge. Two, what is the fastest creature in the animal kingdom?

• 43:56Kylie Kelce?

  A, a cheetah. B, a peregrine falcon. C, a black marlin. Or D, a common rat. Okay, I'm gonna go B, a peregrine falcon. And now I'm gonna regret it because it's gonna be C. No, I was right. Okay, okay. It is a peregrine falcon. It can, oh my God! It can exceed 186 miles per hour. They're so fucking impressive. I saw one in person once and it was almost as if I fangirled, like I had seen like, I don't know, Beyonce? Guys, when I tell you that I am a animal nerd, I mean, I'm an animal nerd. Oh, this one's gonna piss me off, I can feel it. Number three, which dog breed has been found to be capable of understanding more than 1,000 words?

• 44:42Kylie Kelce?

  Oh. A, cocker spaniel. B, border collie. C, Irish wolfhound. D, air bud. Now, for the record, air bud, everybody knows, golden retriever.

• 44:56Kylie Kelce?

  It has to be B, a border collie.

• 45:00Kylie Kelce?

  I know it's not Irish Wolfhound. From personal experience, I know it's not an Irish Wolfhound. I love them and they're adorable. Not the sharpest tools in the shed. Border Collie, nailed it. Number four, what is the only mammal capable of true flight? Ooh. Oh. A, a flying squirrel. B, a bat. C, a penguin. D, Saquon Barkley. Is the answer Saquon Barkley? Um, I do believe it is B, a bat. It is B, a bat. Did you know you've put most of the correct answers in the B section? In the B... Oh, I looked. It was frog. I looked. The tiniest animal with a backbone is what?

• 45:45Kylie Kelce?

  A, fish. B, lizard. C, frog, apparently. Or D, Lilith. I know it's not Lilith because Lilith has a big backbone. She's, she sticks to her guns. Uh, fish, lizard, frog. Frog, obviously, because I looked. That was my fault. Name at least three distinguishing characteristics of a mammal. Oh no, here we go. Um.

• 46:16Kylie Kelce?

  Warm-blooded, a vertebrate is like a live birth one of them? Let me think about it. Let me think about it. Okay, do you want to tell me? Do you want to give me a hint? Tell me it's produced milk. Being warm-blooded, we said that. Having hair or fur? I, I honestly, I'm gonna tell you right now, my brain, my brain was including birds. So I fucked that up. I would have had fur or hair had I not been putting that in. Possessing mammary glands, AKA, anything can be milked, you know? Three bones in their middle ear. I didn't know that. Breathing air, duh. And, uh, having a backbone, so.

• 46:56Kylie Kelce?

  Damn. Number seven, what is the fastest running bird?

• 47:01Kylie Kelce?

  A ro- You got me.

• 47:05Kylie Kelce?

  Emma writes these rundown in the hopes that I will occasionally be caught off guard. And giggle. And she got me. A, Road Runner, meep meep. B, ostrich. C, emu. D, turkey.

• 47:21Kylie Kelce?

  I'm pretty sure it's an ostrich, which again puts us in the B position. Yes, I am correct. It is an ostrich. Apparently, if you're ever taking a quiz made by Emma, pick B. Okay? It's not C for Emma, it's B. Everybody knows that. Number eight, what is a group of zebra called? Zebras called? A, murder. Nope, that's crows. B, stripy friends. Yes. C, dazzle, or D, razzle?

• 47:52Kylie Kelce?

  What? I'm gonna go with...

• 47:59Kylie Kelce?

  I'm gonna go with C. I was right. It is a dazzle. I'm gonna be honest, I've never heard that before, but I do know a murder is a murder of crows. And stripy friends sounds too cool for it to be official, so. And a razzle is obviously the candy that turns to gum. Everybody knows that. Number nine, why are flamingos pink? Super easy, their diet. The shrimp they eat are pink. And so they eat enough of them that it actually turns their feathers pink. Everybody, that's just... That's a good one. I like that one. And let's see if I'm right. Due to their diet of algae, brine shrimp. Yep, there you go.

• 48:36Kylie Kelce?

  10, true or false, owls can rotate their head 360 degrees? False. That's false, I know that. They can rotate it, but they cannot go the full 360. They can rotate it very far. They can overrot- They can rotate further than 180.

• 48:55Kylie Kelce?

  Oh, Queen Emma specifically wrote, can rotate 270 degrees, so.

• 49:01Kylie Kelce?

  But they can't do the full exorcism thing, so.

• 49:05Kylie Kelce?

  I got all but one. Queen Emma, that was an outstanding quiz. That does it for my pop quiz and also does it for this special episode of Not Gonna Lie. You can find even more exclusive clips on my YouTube channel on More Ship Monday. Real ones, let me know how you feel about the solo episode.
