Not going to lie, today I was holding my nephew and Benny came over and said, put it down. So I'm really excited about giving her another sibling.
Let's start this podcast. Welcome back to Not Gonna Lie, a Wave original brought to you by Lululemon.
I'm your host, Kylie Kelsey, big time germaphobe, very pregnant and keep forgetting, and fan of the two-time Super Bowl champion, Philadelphia Eagles. Go Burtz.
Sorry, Trav. As always, make sure you follow us on social at NGL with Kylie and subscribe to the Not Gonna Lie YouTube channel.
On today's episode, I'm going to get brutally honest about kids' birthday parties because we got a couple coming up. I'm also going to bring back a fan favorite segment.
It's been a while. Fuck around and find out.
So stick around to find out who fucked around this past week. After that, I'm so excited for you all to hear my conversation with the fashion designer behind those viral NFL puffer jackets and vests, Kristen Juszczyk.
Before I get to that, I want to thank all the NGLers for now for watching my Valentine's Day special with Jason. If you haven't seen it yet, check it out.
I've seen a lot of you commenting that Jason is my emergency contact. Specifically, Optimus Riss commented, and this is Kylie's emergency contact with two crying laughing faces.
No, he's not. My husband is not my emergency contact.
I know, earth shattering. My mother is my emergency contact.
And let me tell you why. It has nothing to do with the fact that my emergency contact is a good time or a little nutty or goofy or any of those things.
Um, Jason is not my emergency contact because he gets so many random people calling him. It is insane how many people call him from random phone numbers that he does not pick up a phone call unless it's from someone that he knows and that is saved in his phone.
So, uh, that being said, uh, my emergency contact is my mom because if little lease were to ever call Jason, he would to pick up the phone without question. I have full faith.
And so the chain of phone calls for my emergency contact situation is Lisa, my mom, and then she would call Jason because he would definitely answer her call. So I would have it be Jason if I thought he was going to answer the phone.
I do trust my husband to handle shit and to be there for me. So I would have it as my husband, but he won't answer it.
There is something else I need to address about the episode that a lot of you brought up. Amanda Browning, B7P, commented, wait, you exceeded 45 minutes, pregnancy brain.
You know what we do here, guys. We lift other women up.
But Queen Emma thought that it was necessary to allow more time because Jason and I were

supposed to record for an hour and some change. And I'm pretty sure we were sitting in that studio

for over two hours. I'm not going to blame Queen Emma because I think it landed well.

We needed to fit more Jason time. I love more Jason time.
I made a vow to make sure that we hit 45 minutes for those who are busy, who don't want to chop it up into four different listens in a week. We're trying to make this efficient and I'm going to stick to it for now.
I mean, if there's real hell raised eventually, I can adapt. I will.
But for now, 45 minutes. Sorry, Queen Hema.
Next up, if I'm being honest, it's time for our next segment. Can I be honest? Because two of our little ladies have birthdays coming up real soon, I thought this week I'd get brutally honest about a subject that affects all of us as parents.
Kids' birthday parties. We have, we're about to have three birthdays very close together I am not a big fan of big birthdays for babies uh a one-year-old first of all a smash cake is very cute but then who's cleaning it up so I feel like it's just making more work for ourselves.
I would much rather get a cake and give them a piece and then just let them go in on it, which is exactly what we've done. For the past couple birthdays, either decorated a cake to the specifications of the birthday girl, or we have ordered a cake to make it special.
I love doing that because they get to pick it out ahead of time. Ellie picked Tots this year, so she is getting a Tots birthday cake.
If you don't know what that is, shout out to Disney Plus. We know what it is.
I'm deep in it with Pip and Freddy. It's fine.
Benny picked Elsa because she's been very into singing Let It Go recently. So Elsa and I believe Olaf will be on her cake.
And they are very excited. We will scroll Pinterest and Google search to see some birthday cakes for kids' birthdays, and then we order it.
I think it's very special for them to get to show all of the people who come to celebrate their birthday that they got to pick their cake and how excited they are for it. There is a video on my Instagram of Wyatt getting a, I want to say it was a pink birthday cake with a green dinosaur.

I might have that backwards. But she was very excited about that cake.
And you can see that she's like excited to share it with everyone there. I think that any time before the age of, I would say like, birthdays one and two, they're for parents, right? Like the, the coolers fully stocked.
It's not, those kids don't know what's going on. I will say I am vehemently against the idea of other kids getting birthday presents on a child's birthday.
So people like our family knows, no one else is receiving a birthday present for Bennett's birthday. Everyone gets a special day.
When your siblings get presents for your birthday, it reduces your birthday. It's not their birthday.
It's your birthday. And also, I think it teaches them to a degree that just because someone's getting presents doesn't mean you get presents.
It feels very participation trophy-esque and not happening. That's it for Can I Be Honest?? Last thing before we get to my conversation with Kristen Juszczyk, you guys might have seen I also got the chance to sit down with Alex Cooper for an episode of Call Her Daddy while I was in New Orleans.
Now, there's been quite a few tabloid headlines from our conversation, but there's one in particular that's given me no choice but to bring back a segment near and dear to my heart. Fuck around and find out.
The fuck around? Well, that was Parade.com. They fucked around when they wrote the following headline.
Why Kylie Kelsey refused to eat Taylor Swift's home-cooked meal on double date with Singer. Well, aren't you about to find out? I, on call her daddy,

explained that we had gone on a double date, but that it was at home. There was a little bit of confusion because that meal at home was like a private dinner.
So that was done by an outstanding chef. The home-cooked meals that I did not get to enjoy were not because I refused to eat them, but because the child in my womb overwhelmed me with hormones that suggested that if I consume anything other than crackers, that it might be seen again.
If you catch my drift, anyone that has experienced pregnancy nausea knows that it's not a choice at eight weeks. That's not a choice.
I've known women who lived on only waffles for their entire first trimester. There's women who can only stomach cereal or crackers or pretzels.
And you know what? Sometimes that's me. I didn't refuse anything.
I wouldn't refuse anything, especially if I was without child. Just to set the record straight, the weekend that we were together where I was unable to stomach the dinner home-cooked meal, I did get a chance to try, I believe they were confetti, like funfetti pancakes.
Regardless, they hit. They were so good.
Baby liked them. I loved them.
They were very, very good. The thing that bothers me the most

about this headline, besides the fact that I directly addressed why I didn't eat the meal in the Call Her Daddy episode, why are we trying to pit women against women? Why are we doing that? That seems dumb and counterproductive. Anyone that asks me in person, I am very forthcoming with how much I love and appreciate her and how much I love the fact that you can tell how happy Travis is.
And that's what I care about. So let's not pit women against women.
Let's stop writing articles when there's not any beef to write articles about. And let's recognize the fact that I would not refuse a home-cooked meal.
I would not refuse a home-cooked meal because I love food. So unless it's beets.
I had a great time taping Call Her Daddy. It was so much fun to sit down with Alex.
She's so good at what she does. And of course, we got to bond over all things Philadelphia.
And what better place to do that than in the town that the Eagles were playing? There is a social clip out where Alex and I got a chance to discuss that she would not be attending the game, which at first I was very alarmed about as a Byrds fan, I feel like it's our obligation to be there. And then she explained the most logical explanation for why she was leaving.
Alex was not in Minnesota. She was in Arizona.
And for anyone who is not an Eagles fan, the Eagles won Super Bowl 52 in Minnesota and lost in Arizona. So she did her part and went home.
And my superstitious ass loves that. And again, I'm not saying that that's what worked.
But Alex did her part. So good job.
Well, if any of the Daddy Gang listeners are here now giving NGL a try, welcome. If you want to hear more stories about my kids taking off their diapers in their crib or my husband's rant about Twilight, I think you're going to like it here.
Welcome. I've said it before on this show.
I have two looks. That's it.
That's all I've got. I've got a comfy athleisure and occasionally hard pants.
That's it. As you can see, I'm in one of my favorite everyday looks right now from Lululemon.
There's a good chance I'll be wearing something very similar tomorrow and the next day

and the day after that, the day after that, probably the day after that. You get it.
Um,

this sweater in particular is the one that I wore to the Superbowl,

paired it with a pair of Lulu lemon leggings, the aligns, because they feel like butter. This sweater, I can't tell you what was underneath of it, but it may have had wings.
I'm also excited to try a new product from Lululemon after baby girl arrives, the new Lululemon Glow Up Tights. That's a beautiful name.
They just launched these new training tights with body hugging, move enhancing support that will make you feel like saying, let's do this to just about anything. Lululemon's Glow Up Tights are available now.
Visit your local store or shop online at lululemon.com. And now it's time for what professional podcasters call a toss to today's guest.
I wouldn't know that without Queen Emma. She's the fashion designing sensation behind the NFL jackets and vests you've seen everywhere.
She's the founder and chief creative officer of clothing brand Offseason. She's also a fellow NFL wife and does a lot of great work in support of the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
I was so excited to sit down with her in New Orleans. Please enjoy my conversation with Kristen Juszczyk.
One of the things we were just talking about before we got started was sort of like the phenomenon of you've been in football with Kyle now for 12 years long time yeah and one of the things that you guys have done is like jumped around a little bit what teams have you been with while you've been together so Kyle and I met when he was playing for the Ravens and I was in college and so he was there for four years and then he signed with the Niners for eight years. We've been really fortunate to only be with two teams.
That doesn't happen often. Yes.
So, yeah, now the Niners really feel like home. Being with the Ravens feels like a lifetime ago.
You have done some incredible things. Thank you.
You've had some severely viral moments, which were so well-deserved. Thank you.
What has been the biggest moment for you so far? Truthfully, I feel like this is such a cliche answer, but like every time it almost feels like nothing happens for so long and you're trying over and over and over again. And then all of a sudden, so many things are happening and you want to stay so present for it.
And for me, it really like all I've been sewing for so long and I have always actually all stemmed from Halloween. Kyle and I went to a 49ers Halloween party and I know I wanted to be Justin and Brittany that like, do you remember their VMA look? The denim? The denim on denim? Yes.
And I was like, I need to be that. I went on Etsy, couldn't find it.
So I went to Walmart and bought like 20 pairs of jeans. And I'm like, I'm just gonna start cutting it up and going on a sewing machine and see what I can do.
Sure, some patchwork. Exactly.
And I kind of feel like I blacked out while doing it. And then all of a sudden I had this dress made and I'm like, something like came over me when I was making it.
And I was just like, wow, I really love doing this. Yeah.
And once- And how many years ago was that oh god i think that was like seven

years ago okay so it's been a while did i read somewhere correctly that you're self-taught in sewing completely yeah that's why we just went on youtube by the way you can learn anything from youtube it's like isn't it the best my water heater broke how do i fix my water heater youtube perfect like anything i feel like i feel like this like the younger generation has transitioned to TikTok.

TikTok to learn things.

And I'm like,

I don't,

I don't want to.

We started with Ash Jeeves.

Right?

God. I feel like this, like the younger generation has transitioned to TikTok.
TikTok to learn things. And I'm like, I don't, I don't.
We started with Ash Jeeves. Right? Gosh, what a throwback.
Math class, always going in like Ash Jeeves. Like, what is two plus two? But I don't want to have to like rewatch the same 60 second video a million times.
I want to watch a YouTube video. A hundred percent.
I genuinely, I want to see all of it. Every part of it.
Yes. Yeah.
So I literally started from there, like how to, how to thread a machine. Yes.
Everything. Like what kind of tool should I buy? If you had to pick one piece that's been your favorite.
That's like the toughest question. It doesn't have to be something you made.
Who's your favorite kid? Depends on the day. Let's narrow it down.
Outside of things that you've made for yourself. So things that you've made for other people.
Maybe commissioned pieces. What was your favorite one that you've made? I have to say, of course, my puffer coats is what I love.
But at the same time, I have made so many silhouettes that I maybe love more. The puffers is kind of what got me so much momentum.
So I have to pay homage to them. Now for the people who said that there wasn't a space for what you were doing.
Yeah. Do not feel like a little bit of like a...
Oh my God, they're all in my inbox. Hey, following up.
It's like, hey, so sorry we didn't answer you three years ago. Yeah.
Following up, we'd love to collab. Yeah.
Are you like kiss my ass? Yes. You should a little.
A hundred percent. I do think that like sometimes.
Right. That's it.
Thanks, hun, for the DM. But I'm actually really busy.
Yeah. I do.
I think that like sometimes it's so funny to see what the messaging was. Yeah.
Just like you said three years ago the idea that three years ago someone was like there isn't space for this and then to go to the NFC championship game in Philly and see how many people had your puffers on both like the jacket and the vest. So I haven't been in a stadium yet.
I'm telling you firsthand, they were everywhere. That makes me so happy.
I have to get you one. Well, here's the thing.
I was just excited to see them. Like I'm like, of course I would wear it.
And everyone was raving about the quality, which I think is. Which is what we like really took so much time on it.
We really launched it in the worst possible time. It's funny because we picked the teams back in April,

and we were so fortunate that besides my 49ers,

which was pretty devastating,

all four teams were in the playoffs.

And we launched the company in the playoffs.

So there was a chance that we were launching.

So you manifested this is what you're saying.

I've never rooted for those five teams so hard in my life. The i'm like e a g one of us now um now you you said you picked five teams yeah back in april what is what does that look like going forward are you guys going to integrate all 32 teams we're trying but like i want to walk before i run sure and what was so important to me was making sure people loved them yes and i'm learning so much still as i go of course like i've never met i've i've only hand sewn things before so learning like how to manufacture things and to scale sizing you know so i want to make sure i get everything perfected before i keep adding more teams so I mean we've had amazing feedback yes but there's I mean I'm a perfectionist so I'm like looking at like every little teacher like I gotta fix that I gotta fix that yes but I think that that quality is what will have people gravitate towards the brand even more because it means that you care about the product oh yeah they're my They're my babies.
They're my children, those jackets.

But we have so much more to come.

My goal, of course, is to hopefully expand to all 32 eventually.

And then we have so many drops coming out that are not jackets.

I mean, the jackets are amazing, but there's only certain teams that Miami Dolphins aren't going to put puffer coats.

Yes.

So we have so much amazing different types of silhouettes that I'm so excited for.

And lower price points, too.

You can tease to us.

Oh, I'm going to get an exclusive.

If you check with your team after the fact, we'll just blur your mouth.

Yeah.

So go ahead.

And you'll still get to see my reaction.

It'll be so exciting.

Go ahead.

Well, I don't know if I have anything like that, like jaw dropping, to be honest, but we're going to hopefully like post draft. We'll have drops every month.
Okay. So like regular, regular drops every month of different silhouettes, adding some teams in there.
And then hopefully, so are you going to stick with the, are you going to stick with those five? Yeah. We're just going to always add the first time that we that we met, we ran into each other.
At the NCAA game. Or no, at the NCAA final four for women's basketball.
That was so much fun. Which hopefully we can plug in a picture of your jacket for that because it was incredible.
Queen Emma's giving me a thumbs up. It was the most epic game to be there.
It was freaking packed. There was not one seat empty.
No. And it was just epic to watch that game.
It was incredible to me how many people were there that you would not necessarily expect. 100%.
To be at the NCAA. Right.
Women's basketball finals. Amazing.
And we were there, well, Claire and George is one of our best friends and they went to Iowa Iowa. So the Hawkeyes were like.
It does make it more fun. So much more fun.
When you have a reason to cheer for a team. A hundred percent.
It always makes it more fun. Yes.
It's like my whole family. I don't really come from like a big football background.
And my nonna, who's 90 years old, she's like, you have me watching NFL. She loves it.
Just because of Kyle, of course. Yeah.
Yeah. But that was the best.
Getting new fans and right. Yeah.
Right. Dragging them in.
Find your own women. It's the best.
Yeah. That's the demographic they're going for.
Yeah. Definitely.
Yeah. Definitely.
One of the other things that we highlighted in your intro was the work that you do with breast cancer. Yeah.
Tell us a little more about that. Yeah.
So my mom passed away with breast cancer when I was in high school. So it's definitely something that's near and dear to my heart.
And when I started gaining all that momentum back at the Super Bowl, I got licensed. And I had two weeks before the Super Bowl.
I'm like, I can't put anything out there. So let me just make one and I'll donate anything to charity.
And my goal was $5,000. I was like, if this hits $5,000, that would be amazing.
It went for $75,000. Yeah, it did.
Which was insane. That's incredible.
And so to give that to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, it felt like, oh, I cried like a billion times that weekend. It just felt like such a moment for me to give back.
I've always wanted to get involved. And I've done a lot of charity work, but to be able to really give that it's changed so many women's lives.
Like it all went to free mammograms and it was just so amazing. And I got to visit them in Texas, their headquarters, and they make these hope kits that it basically is like a, it's a chemotherapy kit.
So it has like the sour candies and the fuzzy socks and all that. And we've got to make them for all the patients.
And they're just so incredible to work with. And it's something so near and dear to my heart.
I mean, my mom was sick my whole life. So I saw her in and out of chemo my entire life.
So just to be able to like connect with other patients and really their family members too, because I think a lot of people, of course, think of the patient and what they're going through, you know, is really challenging. But it's challenging for everyone around them, too.
Right. So I really got to get involved, like, in the community.
I still am with everyone's families. And it's just they're the best organization to work with.
I adore them so much. That's awesome.
Yeah. And there's so much amazing stuff that is, like, they do, you know, it's night and day.
They're always the hope kits, the family meetups, the therapy sessions. So it's never endless.
We're constantly working with them. That's amazing.
Well, thank you for doing that. Oh, of course.
Because the other families that you're impacting are probably very, very grateful. And everyone go get your screenings.
It's so so important and it's so easy to not i think

like when you sometimes at least i'm this way like i'll go to the doctors three times in a week and then i won't go for three years yes it's it's something so hard there's nothing worse than like booking doctor's appointments yes but it's so important now one of the things that we have talked about with a couple couple other guests yeah is the idea of being an NFL wife okay um I personally do not uh identify as a wag yeah it's a tough word first of all I'm retired so I don't have to anymore um but I've always found that there is a derogatory A certain degree of like a negative connotation with the term wag. Yeah.
And the sad part is, is that I don't think that everyone intends it. No.
But the vast majority is usually in some type of negative capacity. How how has it been for you? Being in that role.
Yeah. You know what I've always found so interesting about that word is that there's not a word that describes a lawyer's wife or any other type of profession.
Where did that come from? For me, I take such pride in what my husband does and I love supporting him. It's my favorite thing in the world.
But that doesn't, that's not the only person that I am. I'm my own individual.
So I think it's definitely, that word, like it makes me crawl out of my skin, truly. I think it always has.
But I do feel like we are doing a great job recently of redefining that word. Absolutely.
And, but it's just like, there has been so much female empowerment around, whether that's the NFL, women in sports. So it's, I mean, now I feel honored.
I try to. As we're getting there.
To be clear, you are the perfect example of doing your part in redefining that term. We have to, because by the way, you've, how many amazing women have you met in the Eagles organization? Probably your best friends, countless women.
And the, why that word has a negative tone to it. It's like, these women are the backbone of these athletes and they're making everything else spin so that they can focus only on their career and being successful on the field.
So they should be praised for that. It shouldn't be anything negative.
And they're holding down the fort. Having babies during season, taking all that in itself is a full-time job.
Allowing life to continue while football is existing because those are two very different situations. And football requires your undivided attention.
Undivided attention. And it really needs to be handled on the other side.
Off season is so short for them. Yes.
And it's not like they just get to turn off. They have to train.
Off season most of it, like I think a lot of people don't realize that most of the guys are, I mean, Jason only used to to take I would say like two weeks off yeah after

season to just sort of decompress yeah let his body have a break he would be right back on his lifting schedule 100 and it was usually four days a week yeah yeah and it's I mean like a regular schedule absolutely um where I think people are just like oh it's off season you go on like bougie vacations and sit on your ass.

It's like, no, we

did that in the two weeks.

In the two weeks. Exactly.
But I mean, honestly, I've met so many amazing women in the NFL. I mean, some of my truly best friends for life and the families that come together, like the word wag has been now, now I love it.
Now when people call me that, but I remember when I first met Kyle, I was like, please don't call me that. I hate that word.
Stop. Yeah.
Yeah. It was it's it's almost the idea that like that term.
it also puts a ceiling on you almost. And I kind of found that when I first started this whole thing.

It was almost like some people think that I have an advantage because of Kyle,

but I really do feel like in the industry it's been a... of found that when I first started this whole thing it was almost like some people think that

I have an advantage because of Kyle but I don't I really do feel like in the industry it's been a disadvantage for me I was gonna say I feel like you were probably strongly actually missed very much so because it's like oh she's just a wife a hundred percent or she's just crafty I hate that. Crafty.
This isn't seventh grade home ec.

She's doing DIY projects in your living room. It's fine.
Yeah, 100%. No, I think that you are doing an outstanding job of helping to redefine that term and make sure that it's more of a positive note.
100%. Because so often I think the term wag pigeonholes women into you are defined solely by your husband's career or your significant other's career and you can't have a life of your own outside of that well that's just it I think I do think that there are there are some women very sadly who get sucked into that hole of thinking that they should be defined by their spouse or their significant others.

100 percent.

Role on the team, like how many years they've been there.

I think you get lost so easily in that.

And that was what was hard for me when I moved out to California.

I left all my I'm from New York.

All my friends and family are from New York.

I didn't know a single person out in California.

I had to leave my job.

So now I'm from New York. All my friends and family are from New York.
I didn't know a single person out in California. I had to leave my job.
So now I'm living in California, just moved out there. He has a full slate schedule and I'm like, well, who am I? What do I do? I really do think like that it's becoming more and more clear that the women who are associated with players in the NFL specifically, because I can't speak for every other league, but the NFL specifically, I mean, even the Eagles alone, like we have women who are traveling nurses, like travel nurses.
We have lawyers. We have women who are pursuing degrees to either be a doctor, to be a lawyer, to be a PA.
And it's so silly to me that just because you are with someone that you then get pigeonholed into like, oh, you're a wag. Yeah.
And that defines you. And that's all you are.
It's so archaic. It's ridiculous.
It's archaic because that's not the world we live in at all. But for some reason in the athletic world, that's how people view females in it.
I also feel like it's a very team by team thing in the sense where a lot, some teams do such a good job at bringing women together. Yes.
Building that community. Yes.
And I think that is what's so important. And we came to the 49ers eight years ago and it was a completely clean slate.
They had just hired Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch.

So I think it was like a really challenging year because there was not that like vet on the team.

There was no leadership.

I always say like a flock without a shepherd.

Oh yeah, that was just like a flock of sheep that are like mindlessly wandering and you're all like,

who's going to do it? Anyone? Not me. Who's planning the holiday party? Anybody? Anybody.
Um, but that's, it's, it's crazy to be in those moments of like, where you're just sort of like looking at each other. Nobody wants to step on toes.
Nobody wants to be the person that sort of over oversteps. Yeah.
But at the same time, you're like, we can't just pretend like. You need a community.
Yes. To lift you up.
Yes. And I think it's, I agree with you.
I've heard, we were lucky enough to, my husband was with the Eagles. His whole career.
Yes. And I am so fortunate for that because of the community that we had there.
Yeah. But I've heard varying stories across the league of women's moving cities.
Yeah. And having clear favorites just based on the vibe.
Oh, yeah. And the leadership and how they led the other women.
Yeah. When we first came out to the 49ers, I had never, and to be fair, I was in college when Kyle was with the Ravens and they were a great organization to Kyle.
I had never really met anybody. And when we came to the 49ers, Kyle Shanahan throws a party with the 53-man roster at his house.
And I was like, we're meeting the head coach? I've never met the head coach at his house. And that starts the year off on the best tone.
It's like, it's with all coaches. It's so family oriented.
And he learned it from his dad. His dad did that and it's just passed down to him.
But it is the best thing ever. And it starts here up on the right note.
Because I have always found that the organizations that really put the families first are the most successful organizations. Because if you're not happy at home, if you're a player and you're coming home to a miserable wife.
Guys, happy wife. Yeah, happy life.
This is not difficult. Yeah, yeah.
Happy team.

But it's so true. Those are the most successful organizations.
Right. I think we just solved something.
We did. I mean, the Philadelphia Eagles are very much.
And like the time that we've been there, and I think Jason can attest to it even before he and I were together, has been like very family focused. Yeah, isn't it the best? It's so refreshing because I think that they realize how much football, although it is their career and their job and they get to go to work and then come home, how much of it comes home with them.
Oh, 100%. So addressing that is really, I think, important.
Definitely. Also how much time they're away, like to feel included to some degree

makes you feel a little less like you're out on an island.

A hundred percent.

During COVID, it was so fun for me

to like listen to Kyle's meetings and stuff.

It's another language, by the way.

No idea what the heck they're talking about.

They're like, chair, zebra, cat.

I'll tell you what.

It's a different language.

Jason's a line coach, Coach Stoutland,

the whole Stoutland family.

But getting to hear Stout and getting to listen into meetings, I was like, this is the best thing I've ever heard. Wasn't it so much fun? Oh, it's fascinating.
I loved it, but I couldn't understand a word they were saying. No, no.
The play calls, it's like, what is this? I told Kyle recently. I didn't get much.
I love football and I know football really well. But of course, there's a lot of things I don't know.
And I was like, I want you to teach me

how to play Madden

so I can like learn the plays

because I'll see things,

but like as they...

That's actually a great strategy

to learn.

Right?

Yes.

As they line up,

Claire knows so much.

She's like,

the way George lines up,

she knows the play

that he will play.

And I can't see that.

I know so much about that,

but I'm like,

I want to learn

how to play Madden.

So you're going to catch me next week with a headset on, sunflower seeds, and energy drink. I wish you'd be like, I'm Madden.
We'll see you. That's when you say the cave.
That's when you say the cave. That's when I'm crawling out of my cave.
Got it. Kyle will never be more attracted to me in my life if I start playing Madden.
It's perfect. It really is a great strategy to learn.
I think so. That's how I learned as a kid.
That's awesome.

And then I'll know every player in the league.

Right?

Then you'll be even better prepared to do more merch.

Yeah, exactly.

With the PA.

I'll know every single player.

Exactly.

I'm not one to give myself compliments.

I've kind of built a brand around that.

But the sweatshirt I'm wearing in this conversation with Kristen, just a fantastic choice. Lululemon for the win.
When I'm not in the third trimester of my pregnancy and I'm in my regular workout routine, I'm also wearing Lululemon when I train. I absolutely cannot wait to get baby girl out, resume my hot girl walks in my hottie hot high rise line short in the four inch.
Because she's a modest hottie hot girly. Also huge fan of the five inch track that high rise line short.
Yes. I have it.
If you like it, you just get it in another color. I've done that.
I'm looking forward to getting back to my training routine. And I also can't wait to try some of Lululemon's new glow up tights.
When I do visit your local store or shop online at lululemon.com to get your glow up tights today. The last thing we'll do is a segment I like to call Keeper Cut.
Okay. Again,

because of your fashion knowledge, I will go through and it's a little bit like rapid fire.

Okay, let's do it. I do think some of these I know the answer to, but I just want you to declare it.
Because again, these are things, a lot of these things are things that I would not

personally wear, but it's just because like, it's not my personal style. I get it.
Subjective. Yes.
I love it. Crop tops.
Keep. You're like, hate.
No, I don't hate them. I don't.
I think that the fact that like high-waisted pants are more readily available now. Well, my whole style, I guess I said I didn't have a style.
People probably know. I wear a crop top and baggy jeans probably like any time I go out.
So I guess that is kind of like my style. I will say like the high-waisted.
Yeah. But after having four children, I fear I am, I need a little time before I can get myself back in a crop top.
Oh, I was going to say, I thought you were going to say high-waisted jeans. I was like, where are you going to go? Low-rise? Well, no, no, no.
God, no. Never.
I mean, that is the look with the belly out. With the pregnant belly out.
I would pay so much money for you to do that. With the pregnant belly out.
The Rihanna, you mean? The Rihanna. Next podcast, please can you do it.
It will not be me. I'm always like lubed up with so much cocoa butter.
I always say. Is that your go to? I cocoa butter.

You could.

I just told someone the other day, you could send me down a dry slip and slide and I'd

get to the end of it.

Like it is disgusting how much.

Do you use oils ever?

No.

OK.

Because I'm afraid I'll stain my clothes in your bedsheets and stuff.

I actually feel that to my core.

Yeah.

And I'm fighting the good fight with children staining my clothes and myself.

Really, honestly, like who am I fooling?

It's it's me and the kids.

I get it.

I get it.

Thank you. Well, you know, there used to be a thing back a few years ago, sneakers.
Do you remember they would drop sneakers that look dirty? I don't know if you've seen that, but yeah. So why don't we have shirts that like have stains? Perfect.
It's basically the same thing. Do that as one of your releases.
Okay, perfect. Well, the Kylie drop.
Thank you so much. The next one is tiny sunglasses, keep her cut.
How tiny are we talking? I mean, like really tiny. I have to say cut.
You like some function. Only because I can't't pull it off I feel like it needs some function oh it needs some function like the small ones are cute but like you can't have it so small that it doesn't serve a purpose it also depends who wears it like I think Travis rocks those tiny sunglasses that he wears sometimes but I but he's so fashionable he is very fashionable and in a way where like there are things that and this happens all the time there are things that I see other people wear and I'm like, that is so cool.
I'm the same way though. I can never pull off those little sunglasses.
That's it. Like the triangles, never.
I can't do it. But he looks amazing in them.
It must be nice to be able to own something so hard. Leopard print.
I will tell you honestly this would be a cut for me. Personally cut.
I wore a leopard dress to my eighth grade formal. I was just gonna say I still remember.
And that was probably the last time I wore a leopard. I still remember a leopard print dress.
It was like the sisterhood of the traveling dress around our college dorm. Oh, yeah, yeah.
I haven't worn leopard in a really long time. I think we should maybe keep it that way.
Okay, yeah, there we go. Okay, cut.
We'll cut it. Cut it.
You're going to see me on leopard next week. Right? I'm going to be like, I thought we cut this.
This one I feel strongly about. Uggs, keep or cut? Oh, keep, keep, keep, keep, keep.
Thank God. I have my Uggs here in my...
I have...

They're like a security blanket.

My Uggs slippers are my favorite thing ever.

I'll tell you what.

For a tall girl in high school,

when you started folding over the Uggs

and then the yoga pants would sit on the top of it,

then you couldn't tell that I looked like a flood was coming.

Every pant was too short and that helped. That was every high schooler's uniform.

It was great.

And it still is my uniform every day.

I wear my Ugg slippers every single day.

Kyle yells at me because I wear them outside.

He's like, they're not slippers anymore.

If you wear them outside and you wear them inside.

I'm like, pick your battles.

Right?

All right, so keep Uggs.

Keep, keep.

The last one, and again, I feel like we know this one because of the OG Halloween costume. Okay.
Denim on denim. Oh, keep, keep.
Perfect. A million times over.
The Canadian tuxedo is everything. I love that.
And it is hard though. Different washes? Yeah, that's challenging.
I actually think it takes a certain person to pull it off. It's not me.
I think it can be. Give it a shot, Kylie.
Please. Can I pressing things up i'm yes okay perfect okay i'm gonna put you in low-rise jeans belly out with my sheer top we're gonna do it all um that wraps up keeper cut i cannot thank you enough for coming to chat today i want to make sure that i i your props on, on really leading the way for, and, and helping to further the, um, the image that women who are with football players or professional athletes in general, that you are building this empire and you're answering, well, you're answering a call that needed to be answered no matter who told you whatever they said three years ago.
And it's so much fun getting to see you be creative and to see people appreciate that and get to get to hype you up appropriately. I got you.
I love how raw you are. It's the most refreshing thing.
And I think that's why you resonated so well with the whole world, because that's what we need. No one wants to see anything to see anything polished right we're so over it we don't need to see that or we don't need to hear it so I love everything you stand for I listen to every one of your episodes it's just the best thing ever you have another one now I will definitely not listen to this because I can't stand listening to my own voice well everyone else will do you listen to your podcast not in its entirety entirety.
Yeah, yeah. You're like, don't tell them that.
Queen Emma is appalled. Listening to your own voice is challenging.
It's interesting. I listen to them like, oh, God, I'm like, nails on a job.
Well, I can tell you right now that I am absolutely certain that the NGLers are going to love this one. And I can't thank you enough for coming to join us.
