This episode of karma and chaos is brought to you by booking.com I've got to say, if you're looking to grow your vacation rental business, this is the place to be. Booking.com is one of the most downloaded travel apps in the world, and for good reason. Since 2010, they've helped over 1.8 billion vacation rental guests find places to stay. That's billion with a B. But here's the thing. Most vacation rental hosts don't even realize that they can list their properties on booking.com and if you're not on the platform, your rental is basically invisible to millions of Booking.com travelers worldwide. After all, they can't book what they can't see, right? But once you start listing on booking.com, your property gets seen by a massive global audience of unique travelers. That means more visibility, more bookings, and more opportunity to accelerate the growth of your rental business. And it couldn't be any easier. You can register your property in as little as 15 minutes, and nearly half of hosts get their first booking within a week. So if your vacation rental isn't listed on booking.com, it could be invisible to millions of travelers searching the platform. Don't miss out on consistent bookings and global reach. Head over to booking.com and start start your listing today. Get seen. Get booked on booking.com the snack wrap

Okay, guys, we're back. You asked for it. And we're delivering. Killer is going on tour. We're super excited for the fatherless behavior tour. 23 cities, three countries, all in one summer. And you guys can check out tour dates and see if we're coming to a city near you on klow.com and if you want early access to information and announcements, head over to Patreon because you might get it before everyone else.
Becky
The quick. The quick start to record always gets me.
Kale
I have to do it because we never know what's going to come out of our mouths.
Becky
Good morning, good evening, good day, good night. Yeah, how. How are we? What's new? What's going on?
Kale
Becky, I just want to say that I was watching videos and looking at the pictures from Texas, and I just need you to know from the bottom of my heart, I never want to tour again without you. Like, the next tour that I go on is Becky and Kale, because you bring such a joy and fun side out of me that I. I just don't know is possible without you.
Becky
I love you so much and I really appreciate you saying that. That makes me really happy. But also I feel like there's, like, a lot of levels that come to that. What? You what? Oh, she's eating. There's a lot of levels that come because I think that, like, you are not obligated to give me any type of energy prior to being on stage. So I feel like when you have new guests, you don't know. You have to turn on your personality earlier. And that can be a lot. And so with me, like, we could not talk for the whole. I could show up and just get on stage and, like, that would be great. That would be fine for us. Like, I could have. We could have no clue what we're doing and we would figure it out.
Kale
Exactly.
Becky
This house is going to be the death of me. Okay.
Kale
The one that you're in or the one that you're moving to?
Becky
The one that I was at. The one that we're moving to. I go there because Internet's getting put in today, and I'm like, oh, great. This is going to be awesome. I can just relax, get there, plug my computer in. There's no power on the back deck. I go, okay, that's weird. My handy Randy is there. I say, randy, do you know why there's no electric on the back deck? He's not the electrician. I've been having issues with the electrician. He goes, well, there is a wire that's just cut hanging downstairs. I wonder if that's it. That was it. And so the Internet people get there. He runs all the lines, does all the things, goes to connect. The modem says, you don't get Internet here. And I said, oh, okay. What does that mean? He said, someone has to come out and, like, inspect everything. So I had. I have to make another thing. So I'm like, okay, I have my hotspot. I'm gonna be fine. My work calls were fine, thankfully. Then I jump on to record this and then it didn't work. And then I go to my mom's house and her Internet didn't work and I wasted 20 minutes going there instead of just coming home. Anyway, let's. Let's start over anyway. Good morning, good evening, good day, good night to all of our karmarus. It has been a mother effing Friday.
Kale
It has been quite the Friday. I did start the original recording off by giving Becky a nice tan compliment by saying that I never want to tour without her because she just brings a special type of joy and a new fun side. Not new. The fun side of Kale out. So I gave her that compliment. And you know what? It kind of is getting lost in the sauce. So I don't know that that is the conversation to be had now.
Becky
Well, I actually really appreciate you bringing that back up because I said it to Leah. She's like. And she was like, did she said that out of nowhere? That's so nice. And I said, well, she was watching videos from the tour. And what I was saying earlier was that I feel like it, like it's the big picture of everything too, because I'm like a really easy friend. I'm like one of those friends that's down for whatever mood that anyone's in. And if I'm in a different mood and you're in a different mood, I can go be in a mood that I want myself. So if we are in pre show and Kale's in a mood that doesn't want to talk, like, I'm not going to talk to her. And then we could just get on stage and turn our personalities on and there's. That's. That's it.
Kale
And it's great. And I am so thankful that you're going to be at the next. Even though you're not necessarily my guest for Atlanta. I hope you still come.
Becky
Oh, surprise. Coming to Atlanta.
Kale
Okay, perfect. So I want to just tell you some of the things that I learned on my celiac follow up yesterday.
Becky
Okay.
Kale
I did text you some of it, but just for anyone listening, shout out to every single person who's been telling me to get tested for celiac for the past five to seven years. And I didn't listen to you. You all were correct. But my marker number was 166.5. And normally you need to do an endoscopy, not go gluten free and do an endoscopy before they like 100% confirm your diagnosis. She said because my number is so far off the charts, they don't need me to go gluten free. They don't need me to wait to go gluten free. They said I can go gluten free now because it could take up to two years to stabilize my number and that I need to be looking at body lotions, hair products, makeup products, toothpaste, body wash, soap, hand soap, laundry detergent, all the things that have gluten in them that we never knew. I thought gluten was only in food.
Becky
I also thought that's going to be my e in mine and Leah's teams tonight that I did not know that gluten was outside of food.
Kale
Yes. So she said that hair products are. Are probably the least of my concern. Unless I'm washing my hair and it's going down my face. And usually it's just like the nose and the mouth situation. If it can be ingested either by on purpose or by mistake. Like if I'm taking my makeup off and it drips into my mouth and things like that. And then sunscreen. I had to like, we're taking the babies to the beach tomorrow. And I had to look at sunscreens
Becky
because are you going to rehoboth jealous? Keep going.
Kale
Because she said, and I don't remember the wording exactly, so don't quote me on this, but I think it's like number one relatives or like there's like a number numeric system for them. So it's like parents, siblings, children, like the people that are directly related to you should all be tested. They said it's a genetic autoimmune disorder or autoimmune disease, whatever, which I also didn't know. You can't just like develop it just to develop it. Like just because of whatever. You have to have the marker for it. If you have the marker for it, it doesn't mean that you 100% have it, but it means that you have a chance of getting it. But if you do not have the marker, you will never get it. So either my mom or Raymond have. They're either. I guess they. I'm assuming one of them has it or has a marker for it. I don't know. My sister has to be tested. My kids have to be tested. And they're gonna get like whenever they have their routine labs, they'll add that.
Becky
And it's just a blood test.
Kale
Yeah, it's just a blood test. Which I also didn't know because I've been complaining about this for so long and I was told I had IBS and that was it and just call it a day. And nobody ever looked into it further. So that's interesting to me. And I just want to say that gluten free products are extremely few and far between. A lot. I had to go to Ulta and Sephora to get like a makeup kit put together for the show so that the makeup artist could use gluten free products. Cross contamination is a big thing. I did not know that either. Because you think that it's dry, right? So like when you think of bread, the doctor was like, you cannot use the same toaster as your children. You cannot use the same cutting boards as your children. You cannot use the makeup brushes. So yes, the makeup that somebody has might be gluten free, but they may have used non gluten free makeup brushes. Even if they clean them, it's not like a hundred percent.
Becky
My brother's partner is gluten free and when she comes over for Christmas, we make sure to get all gluten free stuff. And like one time my brother saw someone put tongs from the gluten free pasta into the regular pasta. And like that is cross contamination. Like you can't.
Kale
But I didn't know that because it's like, like dry foods. Why would it matter?
Becky
How do we feel? I mean this is gonna significantly change your life.
Kale
It's go. Yeah. And everyone that I've like read on forums says that it's life changing at like, it's really hard at first, but then it becomes second nature. I am gonna be 1000% honest. The products on my body are going to be the least difficult for me. It's going to be the food that is very difficult for me for sure. And I'm, I'm, I have to be honest. Like I'm, I'm going to have one last Pizza Hut pizza before I do this, like before I try. And I also think that it's going to be like a learn, like I'm going to slowly do it because how do you just like do it overnight?
Becky
You know, I don't think you're such like a snacking person that and food person.
Kale
I want to talk to you guys about quints because I just tried on two dresses for my friend's wedding coming up in October. And maybe you need a dress because you're going on a cruise, maybe you're going on vacation. I don't know. The best summer pieces are the ones you'll end up wearing on repeat. They're comfortable, versatile, and somehow right for almost every occasion. Okay. The dresses that I bought from Quince, they could be worn at a wedding, but I could also save them for vacation. So that's why I love Quince because they're versatile and they make elevated essentials using premium materials like European linen, organic cotton, and washable silk without the traditional markup, which I love. Okay. Quint's 100% European linen pants. Dresses and tops are pieces that you're going to reach for all summer long and even into the fall. They're lightweight, they're effortless to style, and they start at just $32. But if you're like me too and you're really picky about your denim, they have soft and comfortable denim and they have organic cotton sweaters that are perfect for layering when the evenings cooled down. So I have a couple shows coming up next week and I'm super excited because I want to wear pieces that are versatile for summer but also will keep me warm in the evenings. Quince also has beautiful 14 karat gold jewelry which will add like a nice little touch, a finishing touch to your outfit. I have so many pieces from Quince including rings, necklaces, earrings and I also have sunglasses. Everything at quince is priced 50 to 80% less than similar brands and they work directly with ethical factories to cut out the middleman. So we're paying for exceptional quality and not the brand markup. Make your summer wardrobe feel easier. Go to quince.comkarma for free shipping on your order and 365 day returns.

Kale
So I leave Sunday. Today's Friday. I leave Sunday for tour. I'm gonna do my best as far as like looking for gluten free options.
Becky
I'm, I'm, I'm more, I'm worried, but I'm also like, maybe this will be good for you and like, you'll feel better even with like smaller changes. I mean, because you, you eat a lot of gluten.
Kale
I eat so much gluten. Like when she saw my numbers, she looked at me and goes, I don't need more confirmation that you have celiac disease. I said, okay, which is funny. And then she also said that because my iron is so far off the charts too, I can't like, I'm not having. I have to do four iron infusions in the next four weeks.
Becky
I think Leah had to do that during pregnancy. Is that normal during pregnancy?
Kale
Common? Yeah. I mean I think the, the iron will be fine once I get my. It's just the food is going to take me a really long time. I think like, it's going to be like, okay, I'll go glute free for this meal and then eat normal for what? Like, just to like gradually.
Becky
I think it's time to get some gluten free food sponsors.
Kale
I think it's time to get some gluten free food sponsors as well. Also, for anyone listening to this, whether it is celiac disease or gluten allergy or whatever it is, just because a brand, just because a brand has gluten free options does not mean that their entire company is gluten free. So I learned that very quickly already in looking for sunscreens, makeup products, hair products, they, a lot of them cannot, they are not made with gluten, but cannot promise no cross contamination. And then secondarily to that is sometimes they have a gluten free collection within their company, but not everything. That does not mean everything is gluten free. Just to give you heads up.
Becky
And like there can be cross contamination. Yeah. Which is scary.
Kale
Yeah. Because if, I mean, thankfully I'm not having like, like essentially it's an allergic reaction, but it's not like a life or death allergic reaction. But I'm sure there are people who
Becky
will have like, who will have that, which is crazy. Like to have that high of like numbers and like your ailment is yourself.
Kale
Well, what I literally would talk about it on coffee combos. And I want to say for five years they were like, kale, get tested for celiac kale. You probably have celiac kale. This sounds like celiac. And I just think to myself, like, I'm overall a very healthy person. So I just was like, there's no way I actually have something. It's probably just my diet, which it is, but also autoimmune.
Becky
So anyway, like, what are top foods, people?
Kale
I can have rice. I can have potatoes. I can have meat.
Becky
Oh, okay. But good.
Kale
But you have to look at, like, the butter and the things that are like, it's cooked oils and things like that.
Becky
Eggs and dairy are good.
Kale
Okay.
Becky
Corn. I love corn.
Kale
Did you ever see that video of the little boy with the corn on the cob? I love corn. Hold on.
Becky
You saw it and it turned into a song?
Kale
Yes, it did. It really did.
Becky
Corn.
Kale
I like corn.
Becky
I like corn. Okay, we're good with potatoes. Potatoes can fulfill your, like, carby needs, right?
Kale
Yes, yes.
Becky
All right.
Kale
You know, butter have gluten.
Becky
Listen, let's see. Does.
Kale
That's important.
Becky
Have glue in. I have an idea. Plain butter does not contain glue in plain butter. What is kitchen Cross contact flavored or specialty Butters Safe brands or Lando Lakes Carry Golden Organic Valley?
Kale
Perfect. I use Land O' Lakes butter.
Becky
Amazing love.
Kale
What was your idea?
Becky
So I. The last time when we were recording for your TV show, when we were, Ike and I were having a conversation and I was telling him how impressed I am by how, like, he kind of stepped into this world. And anyone could have done anything stepping into this world, right? Like, they could have, like, bullshitted around. But I find it really impressive how he's trying to learn the craft of, like, the con, like his camera and editing and taking photos. And it's so cute because he's so, like, proud of his photos that he takes and, like, loves to show you. He. He must be a words of affirmation kind of guy because, like, he, like, needs that vocal recognition. And so I always give it to him because I know that.
Kale
What do you crush on him?
Becky
Maybe any. But listen, but the point of what I'm saying is, is that I. It's really impressive how when he wants to learn something, he can and, like, actually goes the extra mile to do it. You should send him to a gluten free cooking school.
Kale
Oh, I actually love that idea.
Becky
Or classes. You should send him to some gluten free cooking classes.
Kale
Well, I should take them with him also, because he looked at me, he goes, the whole family is about to be gluten free. And I was like, honestly, that probably would be easier because otherwise I have to keep everything separate. But that's actually not a bad idea. Although they probably don't have anything in Delaware, so we might be coming to New Jersey.
Becky
Okay. Or you could probably just hire a private chef that is, like, specializes in gluten free. No, no, no.
Kale
Obviously I have that kind of money.
Becky
No, for like, a class. For. Not for, like, life. For, like, for a class to, like, teach you about.
Kale
Yeah.
Becky
Ways to flavor, like, food. Gluten free.
Kale
Yeah. Actually love that idea. I'm gonna write it down. And I. We still might be coming to New Jersey because New Jersey has every type of food in the whole world.
Becky
Oh, what. What ethnicity of food is most commonly gluten free? Mexican and Latin American cuisine. Makes sense because they have, like, corn base tortillas.
Kale
Yeah. And they also don't really use, like, they don't eat a lot of pasta.
Becky
Oh, kale. This says Southern Asian cuisine. Like, time.
Kale
These are my two favorite. My two favorite food, like, cuisines are literally Asian cuisine.
Becky
Three is Indian.
Kale
Oh, okay. This is great. Okay. And I go to London, which I've heard that the Indian. Okay. Three favorite is Puerto Rican. Not in no particular order. Puerto Rican food and Dominican food. Mexican is a. Is like, second or third. And then Indian food and Thai food and just all Asian food. All Asian. Asian cuisines are my favorite. So. Okay. Mexican and Latin food. Asian and Indian.
Becky
Southern Asian. So, like, Thai and Vietnamese.
Kale
I know. I knew that Thai food had. Was a lot of gluten free because I looked it up to, like, double check.
Becky
Yeah. And Indian. You always have to. One thing that you always have to be careful for is, like, I always is. I never would think that soy sauce is. Yeah. And it does. But they make soy. They make gluten free soy sauce.
Kale
Okay, good. Because we do. I had gotten, like, a Blackstone, and sometimes he does hibachi out there. So we use soy sauce. So we'll just have to do gluten free.
Becky
You're gonna have to, like, clean that and, like, start fresh because it's already been. Food's already been on it. Well. So, like, I feel like I look tan.
Kale
You do look tan.
Becky
Thanks.
Kale
We will see. I also used all gluten free makeup products today. It was the first I've done it. And I like the kind of, like, glowy dewy situation. Depending on where I'm at in November, we'll see where I'm at on that journey. But I cannot promise that I'm not gonna Eat Thanksgiving food that's not gluten free. But it's like at the point that I'm really, really, really close to being completely gluten free. And then I eat something that might you up. It's gonna me up so.
Becky
So I better to see where this journey takes you.
Kale
Same. I'm. I am gonna eat a non gluten free pizza today. Heather, who you got to meet in Dallas, she's been sending me a bunch of like every city I go to. She'll like go check on Facebook to see if they have like gluten free options. So she's really helpful.
Becky
Yeah. Wow, what a life change this is gonna be. I can support it. I'll eat gluten free when I'm with you.
Kale
You will? Should we do a mukbang? Gluten free mukbang?
Becky
Yeah, for sure.
Kale
Okay, I'm gonna write that down so while we're together in Charlotte, we can do a gluten free mukbang.
Becky
Yeah.
Kale
I wrote excited.
Becky
I'm excited. For sure. I'm excited. Lindsay's gonna be there. I haven't seen her in so long. I. I texted her the other day. I should have texted you as well. I had a neato break open on me and that was insane.
Kale
How did it happen? And did you wash your hands right away?
Becky
No, I didn't wash my hands because I was on a work meeting. So I was like going like this and it broke and I was like, oh, this does not come off. And I'm like grabbing paper and like try. It was so bad. But it does come off with hot water. But it was so bad.
Kale
There is something going around on the Internet right now when they're. They're basically exploding in. In the heat. So people are leaving them in their car.
Becky
I saw that.
Kale
And then it can cause chemical burns. So while I am a neato stand, you have to be careful about leaving them outside. Outside in the heat, in the car, in the heat, anywhere where there's heat. Obviously they can pop without the heat, but wash your hands. Oh. You didn't even ask me about my cow.
Becky
Well, I. I know knew about your cow. So tell me about your cow.
Kale
My cow's name is Pork Chop and he's two and a half years old. He came from Texas. The previous owners had a lot of stuff going on and they wanted to find a good home for him, so they drove him up here. And my kids have been walking the cow like a dog around the yard, around.
Becky
What kind of cow is it for
Kale
the people that haven't seen it is a steer. It's a highland steer. He's fixed. He's two and a half. He is really cute and he does need a friend. But here's the thing, here's the thing. Just hear me out, okay? He does need a friend. But I would only take another cow if it's a situation where it needs to be rehomed or it's going to an auction about to get slaughtered. Like that kind of deal. I'm not going to go buy from a breeder. Like I'm just not going to do it. This one needed a home and it worked out. So if anyone is looking to re home a highland cow pasture puppy, let us know. Literally have videos. Here goes Lux and Creed. They're brushing him. They have him on his little harness thing and they're walking him into Elijah's yard to eat the grass. Like his grass needs to be mowed. Shout out to Elijah. Honestly, just leave it long at this point. The cow needs grass, so leave.
Becky
It needs to be fed.
Kale
The cow needs to be fed. And so we have the pasture that he lives on. But we've been walking him and trying to socialize him everywhere too, which I think is good. And he really is sweet. He's a sweet little guy. All right. If you've tried everything to lose weight and you still feel stuck, this summer can be different.

Becky
Why didn't you name it after a professional athlete?
Kale
Well, so for those of you guys who don't know, our pigs are named after soccer players. And really just because Messi made sense for a pig. And so then we went with that.
Becky
Can you explain that?
Kale
The pigs?
Becky
No. Why Messi made sense for a pig?
Kale
Because pigs are messy.
Becky
Oh, okay.
Kale
So then it was messy, and then it was like, okay, well, we can name all of them after soccer players now. So it's like messy. Mbappe and Ronaldo. And then the chickens are after spices. And so obviously we have Adobo and chili. Well, Chili passed away, rest in peace. She disappeared. But anyway, the goats are LeBron, Michael Jordan, will Chamberlain, and Kobe. And then we got a fifth one, which was a re home situation as well. And Lincoln has named him Magic Johnson. So that's Magic.
Becky
Have you heard the LeBron news?
Kale
LeBron is going to the Sixers and he took a pay cut. And there was like, people are up in arms about it, but, well, I have to go to a game. Obviously, we should all go down. Like, that would be so fun. And so anyways, Ike named the cow Pork Chop. And so we need another one named Ribeye.
Becky
I like that. Yeah, I like that. Yeah, that's cute. I was just. You sent me videos of them walking and. And I turned to Lee and I said, I think we need to get a bunch of farm animals. And then I recanted it right after I said it.
Kale
Why?
Becky
Because, like, I'm thinking about, like, the vet costs and things of those sorts.
Kale
And I'm like, it's actually not that bad. Like, our vet, Mike, Dr. Mike, comes out here to our farm twice a year and then obviously as needed. But I honestly would say it's cheaper than, like, the indoor animals.
Becky
Maybe we'll think about it because we have, like, probably 10 acres of pasture, like fenced in pasture.
Kale
Oh, I love that. Well, you could if you ever got
Becky
into the new house.
Kale
Yeah, I mean, with the Internet, obviously, you might have to stay where you're at.
Becky
It's not. Listen, I went to the house the other day and there was leaks in the ceiling, and I crawled my ass up into this small ass crawl space and climbed all the way to the other side of the house and look up. And there had been. I'm like, there have been multiple men working up here. No one saw this big ass watermark here and didn't think to say, oh, this is going to be an issue when it torrential downpours.
Kale
So anyway, well, I unfortunately have to go.
Becky
Okay. I'm gonna wrap this up myself. I have a great idea of what I'm gonna do.
Kale
Okay. I support whatever it is that you do. I'm sorry that I had to leave.
Becky
It's my fault. It's not your fault.
Kale
It's nobody's fault. It can be nobody's fault. We're allowed to just can happen and it can be nobody's fault.
Becky
I was stressed. I was overwhelmed. I'm like, holy, this cannot be happened. I've never driven so fast in my life to get home.
Kale
Well, please don't risk your safety again. I need you in Charlotte and all of 2027. Okay?
Becky
2027 is about to be lit.
Kale
Lit. Okay. I love y'. All. I hope you have a good rest of the recording. Love y' all so much. See you guys in Charlotte and Atlanta. Okay.
Becky
Hi, everyone, it's me. This. While Kale said it's not my fault, it was my fault because the Internet, she had a hard stop and life is just life thing sometimes. So I thought we would do. Please don't turn off the episode because then I'm gonna get fired and none of us want this. I am going to do one thing. Oh. First of all, I should wait to tell Kale this, but I'm telling you all that I got tickets to a baby rave. A baby rave. Lenny Pierce is going on tour. If you have a baby, you know who he. If you have a baby, you know who Lenny Pierce is. Well, if you. No, he makes baby rave. Baby rave music. So I am going to the one in New Jersey on September 26th. Is that a Saturday? That's the one I'm going to. So if you guys are in the area, you want to come to a baby rave, I'll be there. It's at like 12 or 11. But my idea, I was gonna go into little chat GPT and I was gonna have it create a pop quiz for me about kale and public information, and we could do this pop quiz together. I'm gonna have it not give me the answers and I'm gonna make it multiple choice. No. Should we make it open ended? Let's make it open ended. Okay. Oh, okay. I actually don't know these answers. Okay. We made it a little harder but if they were multiple choice, it would be too easy. What was the name of the sports store where Kale worked during her Early Teen Mom 2 seasons? Clue. I'm gonna go Dick. Sporting. Good. Which college did Kale graduate from? Is it Delaware Technical School? Dell Tech? Dell State? It's Dell something. She earned a communications degree. It was the second part of it. Guys, I wish this was like a live. I wish I was streaming live because I could get like, like, help. Should I go on live? Should I go on, like, Tick Tock Live? Will that help? No, I'm not going to. Okay. All right. In what city was kale living when 16 pregnant first aired? Is it Nazareth? No, no. Whitehall. I'm gonna put Nazareth. What was the name of the hair care line? Ooh, pothead knew that one. Which of Kale's books was released first? Pride Over Pity. I only know that actually, because that was a question on tour. If you haven't booked your tour tickets yet, you should do so. Which of Kale's children's middle names are also the first name of another one of their child children? What? I have no clue. What is that a thing? Kale has publicly said she originally wanted to name Isaac Something different. What was that name? Elliot, what is the name of the subdivision neighborhood where Kale's Delaware house with the pool was built? That's a stupid question. I have no clue. We'll get the answers, guys. Don't you worry. Which former team on cast member was the very first guest on Barely Famous? Great question. If I had to guess, it's going to be either Chelsea or Leah. Those were people that you like? Or maybe. Or maybe Kate and Ty. When did it launch? When did Barely Famous launch? I'm gonna say Leah. What was Kale's first tattoo? She has like an octopus, doesn't she? Or a squid. I'm just gonna put that. Or a dream catcher. I think she has that too. Too many. What is the title of the first episode of Barely Famous? I don't know. Ooh. What podcast came first? Baby mamas. No drama. Or coffee combos. Coffee combos. Whoa. Before Becky Hayter became Kale's co host, what role did Becky first have in Kale's public facing business? I am interested to see what this is. I have no clue what the answer is. I was going to start a podcast with her. Which of Kale's books became a New York best? I think it was Pride Over Pity. Or was Kale Lowry first on T Mom 2? What type of vehicle did Kale famously buy after getting her her early money. She said a lemon on a podcast, but I don't remember what kind. She didn't tell me what kind of car. Man, are you guys getting more of these right than me? Should I feel bad? Which of Kale's two podcasts have over 400 episodes? 400 Barely Famous and coffee combos finish this iconic Kale quote. Chaos is Chaos is Kale. I have no clue. Guys. It said you actually did better than expected. There were a few that I realized were a little too obscure or arguably had multiple acceptable answers. So I'm grading generously. Guys got Dick's Sporting Goods right? Okay. They're giving me a half point because it was Delaware State University. I did put Del State, and it was a mass communications, and I put communications. She was living in dover, Delaware, when 16 and Pregnant aired. That's wrong. If you needed proof that AI can be wrong, it's right there. Pride Over Pity was her first book.
Kale
Oh.
Becky
Elliot's middle name is Creed. Really interesting. It's grading some of these wrong when I was right because it's telling me that I was wrong for the name, but I was right just because I spelled Elliot wrong. Sorry, Elliot. Creekside was the subdivision. First tattoo was the star on her wrist. Didn't know that first episode was called the Beginning. This is saying that that Becky first worked with Kale helping behind the scenes on content and production before becoming a co host. I don't know if that's true. Hustle and Heart was the New York Times bestseller. The lemon was a different car storyline. It's a Toyota Sequoia. Oh, just coffee combos crossed 400 episodes. Chaos is inevitable. That is interesting. That's her tagline. Anyway, I got nine. Well, it scored this wrong. Let me know how many points you guys got.
Kale
I don't know if you guys have listened to wallet therapy that Becky does. It is a regular occurring segment to help you guys save and invest and do all the things right. We're in our 30s now.

Becky
All right, I posted something on the Facebook group to ask questions while I record and there's a couple questions on here, so. Oh, there's a lot. First question is from. Let me do newest first and scroll all the way down to the bottom. Okay. Did we ever hear a story of how Lee And I met. Maybe Lee. And I met. I always say she was hanging out with the boys that never left my town. I had moved home from Philly. Leah was home from College. We are five years apart, so our paths never cross. I FaceTime my friend. Newly single, FaceTime my friend. I'm like, hey, man, what are you doing? He's like, just hanging out. Pans over, bunch of blonde girls hanging out. I'm like, I'm coming over. That's when I met Leah. And the rest is history. That was 10 years ago. She asked if I wanted to share a blanket with her, and I said, are you flirting with me? And it made her blush anyway. Oh, okay. This one says emotional here. While taking care of your father, did you ever feel like it was a job? My son is disabled and he needs 247 care. It's so draining. I love my son, I truly do, but caretaker or burnout is killing me. Yeah, I mean, there. There's so much guilt that cut. Like, there's times where it's like, you think about. I thought, like, when he's not here, it's going to be easier. And then you feel guilty about feeling that way because there were nights I would stay up crying, just, like, begging him to go back to bed because he couldn't be up by himself and he didn't know where he was or, like, trying to break out. Yeah, man. Like, any emotion you feel as a caretaker is so incredibly valid. And just be so gentle on yourself because life's hard, and adding that role is, like, insanely harder. So this asks more about my high school and college experience. What year would you go back to and would. What would you do? I definitely wouldn't go back to high school. High school, I had so much fun, but I was so focused on sports, and I wasn't really a partier in high school like I was, but not like, I was always playing sports. College, different story. I fully lived my experience of college. If I could go back, I would go back to probably the last six months of college because what I did was I calculated my gpa, and if I got straight A's that semester, it wouldn't have brought me to the next level of graduating with honors. And if I got all Cs that semester, it wouldn't have dropped me down. So I, like, graduated with honors, and it didn't matter what really great as long as I got Cs in all my classes. So I. I went wild. We, like, it was insane. I would go back to that last semester of College, man. It was so much fun. Vex is coming to say hi. You guys are in for a little treat. Come here, my guy.
Kale
Hi.
Becky
Hi.
Kale
Hi.
Becky
Hi. Everyone say, I just woke up from a nap.
Kale
A 3 1/2 hour nap.
Becky
A 3 1/2hour nap.
Kale
Practically another sleep.
Becky
I love you so much. I love you so much. Wow. All right. You mentioned your brother went to one of the podcast shows. What was his feedback? See you in Philly. He didn't actually. He seemed fine. I. He said it was no crazier than Christmas. So if that's any inclination of how my family operates, I think you should cover marriage boot camp. It's resurfacing. So I got a phone call from a producer and they said, hey, can you fly out to LA tomorrow and come and record marriage boot camp? And they specifically said, do not tell Kale and do not tell Javi. And I said, I don't know, let me figure it out. And obviously I called Kale because I wasn't just gonna show up to marriage boot camp without telling her. And I was like, do you want me to come? If you want me to come, I will come. And she said, yeah, that's fine. Yeah, that'll be good. Yeah, come. So I went. Because the whole storyline of marriage boot Camp, they, like, crafted it where Kale cheated on me or, sorry, cheated on Javi with me when that wasn't the case or reality. But they used that because there was a public photo of Kayla and I kissing, and they posted that picture all over Kale's and Javi's rooms. At marriage boot Camp. Yeah. So they used that as the reason behind it, but that wasn't the reason. I think, like, the marriage, like, counseling stuff was real, but me being that Javi didn't know I was there, which ended up being very funny. I need your help with this question. What it's. It asks, what is your most unhinged Amazon purchase? You got yourself a blower on prime day. That seemed a little unhinged, but it was your.
Kale
One of your favorite purchases next to the plates.
Becky
True.
Kale
I think that they want to know
Becky
if you got the sex swing. Oh, no, I didn't get the sex swing.
Kale
Not yet.
Becky
Not yet. I don't really have on. I feel like I just. So. I. I buy so much stuff on Amazon. It is. It is crazy. This question. This is a great question. I would love to know how you create such special relationships with each of Kale's kids. Kids. With that and with not seeing them on the regular basis. How do you build strong connections with them? Well, this is, this is very important. First it is making sure you're meeting each kid with their wants and needs, like when and being present when I'm there. So if I'm there and Lincoln, Lux or Creed asks me to go outside to play a sport with them, I'm most likely going to do it because I'm creating memories and, and I'm turning myself into someone that they can rely on to ask to do things and continue to do things. Having conversations, having intentional conversations, asking how they are. And really like when we have conversations, it's about things they love. Right. Like when I'm talking to Creed, I'm like talking about Sonic, you know, I'm learning about things that they like and bringing those up in conversation and. Yeah, so intentional like, like it doesn't matter how old someone is, they want to be met with things and talk about things they love. You guys have a lot of questions for me and this makes me feel a little bit special and that makes me happy. Oh, another thing, I am like this with any, any child that comes into my house. I want to make sure they ask to come back. So I try to make their experience warm and welcome and as enjoyable as possible. So anytime Kayl's kids have come here, I wanted to make sure that they felt that way so they asked to come back. I guess I feel that way with adults too. Next question. If money wasn't a factor, what would your day or your dream day look like? Great question. My dream day would look like waking up with Leah and Bex, maybe having a nanny that like cleans the house and like Lee and I could go on a walk while Bex naps. Or we could go on a walk wall because the nanny's there. We can go on a walk with him. For the haters is in my dream. I like always, I wish that could be my full time job. Honestly. Karma and Kaz can be my dream too, because I get to spend time with Kale and hang out with all of you guys. Then the next thing would happen in my dream day. Maybe we would. It's so hard. Like you don't want to waste a day traveling and flying. So maybe we. It would be a sunny day. We'd be hanging out by the pool for a couple hours. We'd have some sandwiches, turkey, cheese, oil, vinegar, lettuce, hot peppers, banana peppers, whatever, extra mayo and a little bit of sun and some swimming. And then we have a barbecue outside and sit outside and have a nice dinner. And then end with a movie night or something of those sorts or just talking. I don't know. I'm really in my quality time era right now as Leah and I are rebuilding our relationship. Anyway. Okay girl. I love listening you talk. Tell us about your new house and new adventures. I think there was a couple questions around new house. Leah and I decided that the overhead in our house makes our quality of life lower. We love our house. It's a beautiful house. There's so many good things about it. But. But it's really expensive to live here. And as we grow our family we want to make sure we're able to create memories and have not have money be a factor. Leah also wants to work less to be able to do that. At least right now we need to minimize our monthly overhead and that includes leaving this house. So the new house. Gene, Leah's dad, owns a lot of property. The new house is another one of his properties. We are currently fully renovating it. It is a four bedroom ranch. It is going, it's. It's going to be amazing. Give us two years to Becky find this house. And I really should get into flipping houses because I feel like I'm really good at like ideas and things anyway. That is the situation there. Yeah, I'll. I have a lot of content from the house but I'm waiting. I hate when people like, like wait to see the final product. So I'm waiting to be done and then I'm going to hopefully produce some content from it. Someone said why don't you ever wear your hair down? And if I've ever thought about cutting it, I, you know, I'm a creature of habit. I wish that it was just socially acceptable to have a shaved head because I would shave my head. But I, I feel like my femininity like, like relies on my hair and I like to keep that part of myself. But I do wish I could just shave my head and not have to worry about it. And then it's just a comfortability thing. Like I just have to throw my hair up. I know it's going to work. I don't really enjoy wearing my hair down. Like I don't really care to. Doesn't make me feel better. So yeah, that is it. Oh, another caregiver burnout. I spoke to that already. I'm so sorry that anyone has to deal with that. It is not fun. As a member of the dead dads club, how do you handle grief? There are times that I'm alone that I get emotional most of the time I feel like I use dark humor, as does my brother. My poor husband doesn't know how to take it. Sometimes that dark humor is the only thing that gets me through grief. And also I feel like I have a decent relationship with death. Like, I know that it's going to happen and I know that people are going to die. And I don't know, I just, I don't know what I would do if it was Leah or Bex or someone. I don't know. My grief is with people who. My grief with my father is someone I've always knew was going to die before me. Did he die way too soon? Yes. But my memories with my dad, I try to hold on to the good ones because the ones throughout dementia were really hard and man like, yeah. There's just so much. I don't know, there's so much life that he lived and there's so much happiness within that life and there's so many good memories I can think of or I say this often, like, how lucky am I to think of how my dad would be with my son and know that experience and how beautiful that experience would be. So I try to hold on to those because I can't bring him back, you know, I got nothing. Oh, when do, when do you see yourself leaving your corporate job? Is that a long term goal? I think it's super long term. I would have to make a lot like triple the amount of money I make at my corporate job inside my outside jobs to be able to feel comfortable doing so. Because you have to. Being a corporate girl, you have to take into consideration things like health insurance, 401ks, the benefits of it's outside of your salary and that adds a lot of money. So we'll see. Go listen to for the haters. Would love to hear your favorite moments on tour so far. How does it compare to when you were on Kale's book tour with her? These are two different things. That's crazy I to even think about. Kale's book tour is wild, man. What different people we were. My favorite parts of tour so far. One is going out to the bar after and meeting people, even though I feel like I've blacked out every time. Two is getting to like wake up and recap with Kayla Nike the next day about things that happen. Three is just being able to be like myself. Especially like during the vip. I feel like I'm just like mosing around and just talking to people, you know, I'm just a girl. I just like love to meet people the shows are hard. You know, I'm blurring lines of where I show should be, but they're so much fun, and I love getting to spend time with Kale, so that has been really fun. Oh, I've. Okay, I'll do two more. One is your best and worst moments with Kale. My best moments with Kale are when I wake up on her couch in her house and I watch every single one of her kids walk down those steps and give her love, and then we just have a chaotic, chaotic morning. Those are my. Of my favorite moments with her. And, like, it starts out with just us two having, like, coffee together and just having peace. Those are the best. My worst moments would definitely be, well, like, if we're not considering the toxicness of our relationship prior. Like, our worst moments currently is when Kale's phone rings when we're recording and her world just blow up. Blew up in a different way, because that happens. And it's worse because, like, you feel so much guilt that she has to go through another thing. And then, like, obviously, her demeanor and everything changes. Rightfully so. My last question that I am going to answer is, I've always been curious how you and Leah would feel if Bex decides he wants to call his donor dad someday. I know you all have a great relationship with him, and that's something Bex and Matt are comfortable with. With. Would you guys be cool with it? Hell, yeah. I mean, like, I don't think that Bex as a child or as, like, a young teen will consciously want to call Matt dad, but I think of him as, like, a young adult, right? Meeting people, being in the workplace, and, like, someone asking about his dad. Like, he would automatically just say, matt. Maybe he wants to correct people, maybe he doesn't. I think we talked about this last time. Like, I love. I'm looking forward to the relationship that they get to. To build together. I mean, man, I have a picture of Matt on my fridge, him and Justin, his husband. And it's like a card he wrote backs or. Yeah, Bex for Christmas. And I was looking at it, and I started tearing up thinking about. I'm gonna start tearing up now thinking about how lucky we got for him to be in our life life and for him to be in Bex's life. And, yeah, if Bex wants to call him dad someday, so be it. If anyone deserves that title at all, it would. It would be him for giving us the gift. So. And being present and loving him and, like, doing all the things. And that's it. I actually love this. I didn't know how Solo Mirror would be recording, but this was fun. I hope you guys had so much fun listening to this. I hope that we can do this again soon. I feel like it was just me and you guys. If you're in your car, driving, if you're home, wherever you guys are, I hope you're doing well. And I hope if you're not, I hope that tomorrow is a better day because every day is a new day. You don't hate life. You just hate the chapter that you're in. Thankful for you guys to be here. Thankful for everyone that has come out and supported us at the show, and thankful for the continued support and love. Love you guys so much. Hope you have an amazing day. Love you. Goodbye.
