[Nikki Bella]

We made it. You know, crazy because there's always this massive build to WrestleMania week. You know, it's like a Super Bowl, a world Cup. It's all the things and it's crazy when you finally get here. Like, all the months you put in of hard work and media outfit planning, all the things.

[Brie Bella]

I mean, does it feel different for you this time around?

[Nikki Bella]

I mean, kind of. I have to say, I always love that it's in Vegas. I've seen so many favorite things in Vegas. And the fact that we have this series, XM Studios here in Vegas, you know, the Wynn and the outfits just kind of elevate in their own way. But, yeah, I mean, I guess it always has its own kind of feel every year.

[Brie Bella]

How about you? I mean, it's. It's crazy because I think of the last time I was really actively in WrestleMania, which was 10 years ago. No, I think it was 11 or 11 years ago. 11. 11. I mean, that's over a decade. I can't even believe I'm saying it.

[Nikki Bella]

Is it over a decade?

[Brie Bella]

I mean.

[Nikki Bella]

Just kidding.

[Brie Bella]

And for me, it was weird packing this week and packing with my kids, like Buddy and Birdie, having like, big opinions what I should be wearing at what appearances. And I was just like, I can't believe I'm. I'm lucky enough to do this again. Like, you don't get these opportunities all the time. And you, you know, I feel like when you have a career in wrestling, you never know when you're going to get that call.

[Nikki Bella]

Right.

[Brie Bella]

And I just was packing and I'm like, bri, this could be the last time you're packing for WrestleMania. So I really just cherished my packing. I cherished coming here and checking in and, you know, yesterday Nikki and I were at WWE World and seeing all of you Bella army members.

[Nikki Bella]

Love our Bella Army. Yes.

[Brie Bella]

And I realized I haven't done a signing in a long time.

[Nikki Bella]

You haven't? See, I was here last year doing

[Brie Bella]

it, so seeing everyone and all dressed up and just, you know, I. For a lot of you who get emotional when you see Nikki and I, it makes us emotional.

[Nikki Bella]

Oh, yeah.

[Brie Bella]

But it's been just really. I just have felt really blessed the last couple days being here. And I.

[Nikki Bella]

And I just love our fans, the Bella Army. It's always so great because we always see some faces we know, we see new faces, and then it's cute because you see the outfits they plan and, you know, they're Nikki and Bri outfits, their Bella army outfits. And yesterday was super special. And I just, I always love looking at them because they're all different ages and ranges and it's just, I'm always so grateful for our Bell army and who they Are. Oh, for sure.

[Brie Bella]

When I saw the young people in my line, I'm like, you know me. I'm like, all right, I feel good. I will say that. But, you know, we. We gotta talk about. There's two special events that are coming up.

[Nikki Bella]

Yeah.

[Brie Bella]

One being tonight. Hall of Fame. Oh, yes.

[Nikki Bella]

Hall of Fame. We both wore rings.

[Brie Bella]

Oh. You know, it's. And obviously, we are lucky enough to have one of those hall of Famers. He's going to be coming in here soon. But we are lucky enough to have AJ Styles on the show today.

[Nikki Bella]

Oh, my gosh. We're so. I have so much I want to talk to you about. Oh, yes.

[Brie Bella]

But Nikki and I are also really excited to see Stephanie McMahon get inducted into the hall of Fame tonight.

[Nikki Bella]

Yes.

[Brie Bella]

You know, it's. It's awesome because she's had such an incredible career. And I feel like you and I have been so blessed to see, you know, Stephanie do all her incredible stuff in the ring. But we've been blessed to see her at events, at, you know, these women events, seeing Stephanie speak and this whole other side of her, this business side. Oh, my gosh.

[Nikki Bella]

I agree. And she's such an incredible speaker.

[Brie Bella]

Such an incredible speaker and such an incredible mom.

[Nikki Bella]

I can't wait to see her girls tonight.

[Brie Bella]

I mean, I just will never forget when I was in the storyline with Stephanie. This is before, you know, I was a mom. And she told me she's like, my favorite thing to do is make my girls pancakes. And I was like, oh, my gosh. You know, when you're not a mom, you don't understand that. I'm like, that's so sweet. And it's crazy. Cause I feel like I kind of took that. And now I make my kids pancakes every Saturday.

[Nikki Bella]

Pancakes.

[Brie Bella]

Yeah. And I get why she told me that now.

[Nikki Bella]

Yeah.

[Brie Bella]

And like, that does. That's a. That's something that stands out to you is, like, making your kids pancakes because they cheer, they scream. It's like a hip, hip, hooray.

[Nikki Bella]

You could put different things in. Are we doing chocolate chip pancakes? This.

[Brie Bella]

Do you know what I mean? It's.

[Nikki Bella]

Yeah, it's an experience.

[Brie Bella]

Yeah. And also, like, my kids, like, we'll go to breakfast spots and they'll go, oh, these pancakes aren't like yours.

[Nikki Bella]

Yeah.

[Brie Bella]

I'm like, they're not. Oh, no.

[Nikki Bella]

They're made with love.

[Brie Bella]

Do you know?

[Sonic Advertiser]

You know?

[Brie Bella]

You know it.

[Nikki Bella]

I do.

[Brie Bella]

And then what is it? No. Go. Well, I was going to say. And then the second big thing is

[Nikki Bella]

tomorrow, Nikki is Tomorrow night. Yes. And I also want to dive into Bonita. Bonita. But I mean, WrestleMania, we are back in action.

[Brie Bella]

I mean, crazy.

[Nikki Bella]

We're here 11 years later, Bri. Over a decade to remind everyone. You know, it's.

[Brie Bella]

It's crazy because I feel like you and I, you know, so many people. It was nice to hear yesterday. They're like, you guys been, you know, this tag team that's been around for so long, it's so fun to see you back in it. And I actually saw Charlotte Flair in an interview where she said it was. It's cool to see this setup because you see people from the past, you see people who've been in that middle part, and then a little bit of the future. People who just got here. Yeah. And I was like, oh, wow. I didn't look at it like that.

[Nikki Bella]

And really big female stars. It literally, when she. She also had said it's the most stacked. You'll see the tag team, women's division, top female superstars. And it's true. When you look at those tag teams and even the person as an individual, there's so many superstars in this match. And I'm just so excited to be part of it. I mean, back in our day, like, you didn't. It was rare you would get a WrestleMania moment. And this is our second WrestleMania moment as far as walking in together as a tag team.

[Brie Bella]

Right.

[Nikki Bella]

And that's. I mean, we kind of did as

[Brie Bella]

hall of Famers and took out Bayley.

[Nikki Bella]

Oh, you're right.

[Brie Bella]

I'm like, we gotta take her out

[Nikki Bella]

again, if you know what I mean? Like, where It's. You know, 11 years ago, we went in. I was Diva's champion, and we went in for the tag match against AJ and Paige. And so this just feels like it's just super special. And you guys. So much of our family's gonna be here. You know, we have Bree's whole family coming in. My brother and his girls, and my mom and my aunt and my cousin, and a lot of good friends. And so that makes it even more special when you have so many people flying in just to see you and share that moment with you.

[Brie Bella]

And it's crazy because when I think of us as a tag team, it was actually really hard at times for us to find stories because there wasn't that many tag teams.

[Nikki Bella]

Right.

[Brie Bella]

Like, we had. You know, we were lucky in our era, we did have, like, Lake Cool. Like, there was some that they would put together.

[Nikki Bella]

Right.

[Brie Bella]

But when I think of, like, when you think of the Bella Twins sister tag team debuted together. Like, we.

[Nikki Bella]

I mean, come on. We've been twin magic girl. That's iconic.

[Brie Bella]

Do you know what I mean? It was always hard for us to find a story where a lot of times you and I were like, it would just be easier if we were solo.

[Nikki Bella]

Yeah.

[Brie Bella]

Like, you and I is always. Oh.

[Nikki Bella]

And that's how. How fearless Nikki and Brie mode came

[Brie Bella]

about, which grateful for beyond. So I feel like this time around, it's just. It's been so fun.

[Nikki Bella]

So fun.

[Brie Bella]

It's been so fun.

[Nikki Bella]

I'm. I'm fired up for tomorrow. It's is gonna be a good one. You all better go buy tickets or tune in because it's gonna be an incredible show. I mean, all night. Like, I'm excited because, you know, when the night you wrestle, you're backstage, you're in the moments. And so I'm excited for the other female matches. I'm really excited for our main event because the main just, like, it's gotten so dramatic, and I'm like, what is going to happen tomorrow night? I feel like, well, there's just gonna be, I think, a lot of shocking moments, which WrestleMania always brings that which I love. And then we have Joe Jonas now performing. But I am, like, so fired up tomorrow. Yeah, well, it's the best being back there with everyone. We're just like, what's happening?

[Brie Bella]

So, you guys, I took my kids to Smackdown. You know, last week when we were in San Jose, and, oh, it was like they walked into a candy store. Yeah. They were so obsessed. And they kept saying, like, we get to meet wrestlers.

[AJ Styles]

Right?

[Brie Bella]

I'm like, you get to meet wrestlers.

[Nikki Bella]

Yeah.

[Brie Bella]

So they'd got to meet all their heroes. I mean, when Buddy saw EO Sky, I've literally. I've never seen him blush.

[Nikki Bella]

Oh.

[Brie Bella]

I literally immediately text Brian and go, our son is blushing right now. Okay.

[Nikki Bella]

But by the way, how funny when Mateo was at Friday night Smackdown the week before, two weeks before, and he kept asking for Iyo Sky. Like, they are obsessed. They're obsessed with Eos Sky. Oh, my goodness.

[Brie Bella]

But everyone was just so great, and the kids. But, you know, Buddy was like, I need to be out there and watch the show.

[Nikki Bella]

Yeah.

[Brie Bella]

So our friends had them out there, and he was watching the show. But when Randy came out.

[Nikki Bella]

Oh, yeah.

[Brie Bella]

All of a sudden, Buddy's like, I need my mama. We need to go back. I need to go back. He was terrified.

[Nikki Bella]

The Viper has a presence about him. He always has. Randy has always been one of, like, my Most favorite WWE Superstars as far as presence, aura, facials, movement, the way he can do a move and then, like, being, like, a look. Like always since we've started here, almost 20 years, I'd watch him. I'm like, I want to do that because. You know what I mean? I agree. And his timing with anyone was just always perfect. It's just. It's crazy. That's why I'm so fired up for tomorrow night. Like, I mean, I have to say, Saturday is a really good night, and

[Brie Bella]

we have a lot of women on the show.

[Nikki Bella]

That's what I was saying earlier. Like, not only do we have incredible main event, we have, like, such amazing female matches tomorrow. We got a lot of good tomorrow.

[Brie Bella]

We got a lot. Even you said this S H I T word live.

[Nikki Bella]

I mean, she is so.

[Brie Bella]

I knew there had to be a Nikki moment, but a moment.

[Nikki Bella]

I feel like that's, like, been accepted, though, now.

[Brie Bella]

I mean, I do feel like little kids yell it at me.

[Nikki Bella]

I mean, Mateo's so on. I'm not gonna lie, you guys. I do say a lot, so.

[Brie Bella]

Oh, my God.

[Nikki Bella]

Am I not allowed to say it?

[Brie Bella]

I mean, I wouldn't.

[Nikki Bella]

Oh, well, so Mateo, when I say it, then he'll look at me and he'll be like, you said a bad word. And I'm like, okay. And then he'll go, so shoot. And I go, mateo, you said it

[Brie Bella]

for the third time.

[Nikki Bella]

Okay, so you can't say it.

[Brie Bella]

I wouldn't.

[Nikki Bella]

Okay, then, nevermind. But he'll. So he. That's what he says. And then I say the other way, but I'm not gonna say it, so we'll just move on. Oh, Nikki.

[Brie Bella]

All the things we messed up.

[Nikki Bella]

We have a special guest coming on soon. AJ Styles, as you all know, which is so exciting. Can we also talk about how Bonita Bonita like, has fully taken over Las Vegas?

[Brie Bella]

I mean, you guys, Bri and I,

[Nikki Bella]

like, were so busy Wednesday, we couldn't even hit up all the Bonita Bonita spots that are all over Las Vegas. And can I just tell you what a dream it's become that we're in Sam's Club now right now, currently only in Las Vegas. Three locations. But walking in and seeing our display, I just couldn't even believe it.

[Brie Bella]

It was crazy. And literally, Nikki was, like, selling like, it.

[Nikki Bella]

I literally drink chardonnay. I'm like, 90 points right there. Less than $12. Go get it. Limited time only. Like, yo, I would stock up if I were you, because that is a 90 point Chardonnay. And we're giving deals.

[Brie Bella]

Well, and it was at. It's at WWE World all weekend.

[Nikki Bella]

Yeah.

[Brie Bella]

And the bartenders give generous pours. So you all know.

[Nikki Bella]

I mean, that was like a full red solo.

[Brie Bella]

Yeah, that's like a poor. I'm like, good for you.

[Nikki Bella]

That was like, half a bottle.

[Brie Bella]

I was like, damn. Yeah.

[Nikki Bella]

In that line, I know someone came up to me and goes, so I want to go get your wine right now. But, like, on a scale from 1 to 10, how buzzed I get off one drink, what do you think? And I go, six, Maybe in his eyes got big. I go, maybe a four. And he goes, okay.

[Brie Bella]

But I'm like, do we do, like, a zero debris mode?

[Nikki Bella]

Like, where is it at? So we have this idea that we, our team, we all thought of my girls who do social. We were thinking that, you guys. You know how people wear those glasses, the cyber glasses? What are they called? Like, where they're filming glasses.

[Brie Bella]

Oh, I think they're meta.

[Nikki Bella]

Meta glasses. When this one gets in Brie mode, shoot, we need to put on meta glasses and just see the eyes through Brie mode. What does Brimo see when she's in Brie mode? And how does it happen?

[Brie Bella]

How. You know, would. That would be great for everyone. Would it be great for me? Mother of two has a husband who doesn't drink. I don't know. Yeah.

[Nikki Bella]

I mean, is broomhead ever good for

[Brie Bella]

a mother of two? Actually, really, she is pg, let's be honest.

[Nikki Bella]

She wants to have a good time,

[Brie Bella]

Dances, and you never know.

[Nikki Bella]

Well, you. We never know what we're gonna get.

[Brie Bella]

You know, I saw on someone posted when the Eagles beat the 49ers to go to super bowl, the video when I was dancing on a table.

[Nikki Bella]

I love how stern you got.

[Brie Bella]

Do you know what I mean? Yeah. I live in 49er country because they

[Nikki Bella]

took us out and.

[Brie Bella]

Yeah, but when I saw that video, I don't. I never fully watched it. I cringed a little bit.

[Nikki Bella]

I was like, I cringe the whole time watching it live.

[Brie Bella]

I was like, but you were filming me, so you weren't cringing that much.

[Nikki Bella]

You made me film you.

[Brie Bella]

Oh, did I?

[Nikki Bella]

You literally made me film you.

[Brie Bella]

Who in a million years would listen to Brie mode?

[Nikki Bella]

I don't know. But the worst part about it is, you were wearing my Philadelphia Eagles jersey that said Nikki Bella.

[Brie Bella]

I know, I know.

[Nikki Bella]

So when it went viral, everyone's like, oh, my God, look at Nikki Bella. And I was like, that's. That's so unfair.

[Brie Bella]

I'm gonna wear that jersey all the time.

[Nikki Bella]

No, I took it back. You had it for a while. And I'm like, I need my jersey back. Cause I'm not letting you claim me anymore.

[Brie Bella]

And you get such a hater face when you watch me. I think that's what amps me up more, is I see you start to hate, which then I think makes me want to go, by the way, my

[Nikki Bella]

whole life, every time you've done it, because you ruined my sweet, nice buzz. That's just very innocent and nice. And then I know immediately that my buzz is ruined. And now I have to be the responsible one and see. What are you going to do next?

[Brie Bella]

Oh, my gosh. I really.

[Nikki Bella]

I mean, don't you remember the time in college, you literally in Pacific beach, just jumped in that cart, started laughing at me, started running from me with the cart, and then you pushed the cart and then managed to jump in. And I'm sprinting, trying to grab the cart.

[Brie Bella]

The grocery cart. Yes. Yeah. Well, you know, there's just some things we don't talk about. There was no social media back there. But something we are gonna talk about is our guest is here.

[Nikki Bella]

Yes, you guys. So I think it's time we bring on our guest. When you talk about greatness that transcends eras and redefines what's possible in the ring, Our next guest stands at the very top. The phenomenal AJ Styles, A global trailblazer and one of the most decorated superstars in WWE history. So he's captured multiple world championships, delivered unforgettable matches on the biggest stages, and has built a legacy on skill, innovation, and just pure excellence.

[Brie Bella]

Oh, yeah. Yes.

[Nikki Bella]

And tonight, the legacy becomes immortal as he takes his rightful place in the WWE hall of Fame. So we're not just joined by a legend, you guys. We are joined by a soon to be hall of Famer. Everyone tuning in, please welcome AJ Styles.

[Brie Bella]

I got goosebumps. Oh, my.

[Nikki Bella]

Oh, my goodness.

[Brie Bella]

Let's see. I think he's coming. Where is he?

[Nikki Bella]

Oh, well, they did tell us he was walking in. Okay.

[Brie Bella]

By the way, you know what I

[Nikki Bella]

need to bring up with aj? What is. Remember when I did the impression of him, you guys, I actually was really wearing his gear. I went to him, I was like, hey, so I'm gonna do an impression about you. Because at that time, he was going against John. He was the face that ran the place. So he goes, you want to wear my gear? And I'm like, yeah, so can I get your gear? Can I wear it if you don't mind.

[Brie Bella]

And we might need to post that video on the. I will reach social media.

[Nikki Bella]

It was on our YouTube for so I'm Ag Day. We were just talking about you.

[Brie Bella]

Oh, my gosh.

[Nikki Bella]

Oh, here you come. Sit here and put on your headphones.

[Brie Bella]

We were saying when they did tell

[Nikki Bella]

you we were live, right?

[AJ Styles]

Yeah, they said.

[Nikki Bella]

Okay, good. Just, you know, in case you have to double think about things.

[AJ Styles]

Listen, whatever I say could be wrong, but it's live, so whatever, you know.

[Nikki Bella]

Right. We were just talking about. Do you remember when I did the impression of you?

[AJ Styles]

Yeah, I do.

[Nikki Bella]

I was, like, wearing your gear and then remember there was a hole in your button?

[AJ Styles]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Listen, a lot of people think that I had a malfunction in my gear. No, my gear did exactly what it was supposed to do. When it is hit with a sharp object, it's supposed to tear.

[Brie Bella]

Yeah.

[Nikki Bella]

Right.

[AJ Styles]

And so there's no malfunction.

[Nikki Bella]

No, it's like, you know, hey, he really got hit with a sharp.

[AJ Styles]

Listen. And it may have looked like I don't have on underwear. I did. Yeah. But I don't like Manny lines, so I was wearing my thong, so.

[Nikki Bella]

Oh, yeah.

[AJ Styles]

It is what it is. Like, you guys know what I'm talking about.

[Brie Bella]

We definitely know. Oh, we appreciate that. You know, the pain we all go through.

[Nikki Bella]

You know what I mean?

[AJ Styles]

I don't like it.

[Sonic Advertiser]

It.

[Nikki Bella]

No.

[Brie Bella]

So uncomfy.

[AJ Styles]

Well, but again, is, I didn't want mani lines.

[Nikki Bella]

Yes.

[AJ Styles]

Nobody wants those.

[Brie Bella]

No one wants Manny lines.

[Nikki Bella]

Yeah, I. I would be that way, too, if I was a guy. I was like, ew. You can't have mani lines. And of course, us women can't have that either.

[Brie Bella]

Yeah. Sometimes mani lines doesn't do justice for men's butts.

[AJ Styles]

Right?

[Sonic Advertiser]

No.

[Nikki Bella]

And it just takes away the manly feeling. Like, I'm looking at underwear lines.

[Brie Bella]

I'm like. I'd be staring at the mani lines.

[AJ Styles]

Yeah.

[Nikki Bella]

Yeah. And not thinking they're as strong as they should be.

[Brie Bella]

See, you're way ahead of your time.

[Nikki Bella]

Congratulations.

[Brie Bella]

I know.

[Nikki Bella]

I mean, on. So much.

[AJ Styles]

I appreciate it.

[Nikki Bella]

How are you feeling?

[AJ Styles]

Well, you know, it's different.

[Nikki Bella]

Yeah.

[AJ Styles]

A lot of people worried about me coming back to wrestling because I have an itch. I am scratching that itch. Not necessarily by wrestling, but things that I'm able to be involved in that. The wwid. Being involved, that training and hopefully polishing guys up from NXT to get them ready for Smackdown or raw. I'm scratching that itch.

[Brie Bella]

Oh, good. Yeah, that would be.

[AJ Styles]

I'm enjoying it too. You know, I really. I really like seeing people do well.

[Nikki Bella]

Yeah.

[AJ Styles]

You know, I like being excited for them that they're. This is what they wanted to do their whole lives.

[Nikki Bella]

Yeah.

[AJ Styles]

And finally getting the opportunity to do that, it's the best.

[Nikki Bella]

It is.

[Brie Bella]

I feel like you were always great at that. Well, and obviously still are. Aj, like, you'd seen people's match, giving them good advice. Like, you, you have always had that aura, wanting the best for everyone.

[Nikki Bella]

You always see that.

[AJ Styles]

I feel like that's our kind of. Our crew, though.

[Nikki Bella]

Yes.

[AJ Styles]

Like, when you talk about Daniel Bryan and CM Punk and Samoa Joe and all these guys that I came up with, Christopher Daniels, like, so low key. Like, all these guys, we all wrestled each other all the time, and all we wanted to do is have a great match. Not put over ourselves, but have a great match.

[Nikki Bella]

Yes.

[AJ Styles]

And very true. It was like a golden age of when I was coming up through the Indies because there's so many guys that made it to the WWE and elsewhere and everywhere else like this. Just. It was a great time for me to be able to learn from so many different guys who really like being around each other and wrestling each other.

[Brie Bella]

Yeah.

[AJ Styles]

We weren't stabbing each other in the back. That's all it was about.

[Nikki Bella]

Totally. And, like, learned so much and then got creative with each other. And I totally feel that with your ERA and crew and it's like, there's just so much wisdom to give, and it's crazy that we're already in the era where you guys are now in the positions to give back. And we're talking retirement, we're talking hall of fame, because it just feels like yesterday we were all traveling on the road together, having fun at live events, celebrating birthdays, whatever. It may be anything when we're on the road, because we're on the road so much.

[Brie Bella]

I mean, what was like, the first thing you did when you retired? Because, Brian, I remember, like, you went to town on Sweets.

[AJ Styles]

Oh, yeah.

[Brie Bella]

Is that what you did?

[AJ Styles]

Oh, yeah. I've.

[Brie Bella]

I've.

[AJ Styles]

I've got to slow down.

[Brie Bella]

No. Brian all of a sudden goes, whoa. He got on the scale. I'll never forget, after he retired, it was probably four weeks after. And he's like, oh, my gosh, I overdid it. I'm like, you're fine, you're fine. You've been strict for a long time.

[AJ Styles]

Can I tell you the best thing that I did?

[Nikki Bella]

Yeah.

[AJ Styles]

Is that I went to Grenada with my wife. It was her And I. And it was the best time. Like it was an opportunity to reconnect.

[Nikki Bella]

Oh my gosh.

[AJ Styles]

And just spend time with each other. It was like the best. It wasn't such a big resort that I couldn't figure out where I was going next. It was just big enough where we could do a lot of different things. Go out for dinner and just have time to spend, you know, go have breakfast in the morning, but then go to the beach and then just read or walk, whatever we wanted to do.

[Brie Bella]

I love that.

[Nikki Bella]

It's like a honeymoon. Like having a honeymoon all over again.

[AJ Styles]

Yes. It was so great.

[Nikki Bella]

Good for you for doing that.

[Brie Bella]

And I love the fact that you say reconnect because I feel like sometimes people get nervous to do that with their spouse or partner. And I love that you did that. When you guys were talking, you're like, oh, this is what our future will look like. Like, we need to do this and

[AJ Styles]

then this and then kids happen. And you do none of that. You're so consumed with your kids. And I tell you, the one thing that was rough for me is that I had been gone for so long and on the road for so many years that my wife, I had made her put my kids first.

[Nikki Bella]

Yeah.

[AJ Styles]

In a marriage. I don't believe that's supposed to be. I know we all do it, but. But it's supposed to be a man and a woman, they're each other's first. And so we had to figure that one out because that was my fault. I made them the most important thing in their lives because I was at home. So I had to figure that one out a little bit. And it's still a struggle because I do it too, because I miss them totally. And I want to be there and I want to do all these things with them too as well. But I think it's more of a struggle for her because, you know, those are her babies.

[Brie Bella]

Oh, yeah.

[AJ Styles]

They're not babies. They're 20, 19, you know.

[Brie Bella]

Right.

[Nikki Bella]

They're always going to be mama babies. Right.

[AJ Styles]

But maybe if they were all girls, it'd be different. Like they're 20 year old boys. They're men.

[Brie Bella]

Yeah.

[Nikki Bella]

Yeah. I feel like men, no matter what, like if you have a good relationship with your mom, you're just always mama boys.

[AJ Styles]

Oh, yeah.

[Nikki Bella]

You know, for sure.

[Brie Bella]

But your daughter is your. I mean, she. How old is she now?

[AJ Styles]

She's 11.

[Brie Bella]

So there's your baby.

[AJ Styles]

Oh, she is my baby.

[Nikki Bella]

Yes. See? And she always be your baby.

[AJ Styles]

You're right. Just stuck my foot in my mouth, didn't I?

[Brie Bella]

Yeah, you did.

[AJ Styles]

She's my little baby.

[Brie Bella]

But is it fun to be home? And then you'll. You get your time now with her.

[Nikki Bella]

You get a lot of time with her. That's great.

[AJ Styles]

Oh, yeah. I love. She plays soccer, and I love seeing her do it. And I don't know, I was telling someone today is that it's so different between boys and girls. You know, the boys, they love their mom. You know, that's whatever. I don't think a lot of people think that you have a little girl for the mom. It's not. It's for the dad.

[Nikki Bella]

Yeah.

[AJ Styles]

She tells me that she loves me for no reason whatsoever. We talk about how much we love each other and who loves each other more.

[Nikki Bella]

Oh, my gosh.

[AJ Styles]

You know what I'm saying?

[Nikki Bella]

That is so sweet. I love that. And I completely agree with you. Girls soften their daddies and wives can't soften the men. It literally takes a little girl to soften their dad.

[Brie Bella]

Well, you know, Birdie had a hard day at school the other day, and, you know, I was there, but she goes to me, Brian was on the road, and she's like, I just wish daddy was here. And I was like. And I actually. And I didn't feel offended. It made me like that her dad is her safe place. And, like, she really needed his advice. So I was like, texting him, like, I know you're at TV, but do you have a moment to FaceTime birdie and. Cause you just really needed to hear his advice, and it was just like. I loved it. Yeah. So sweet.

[Nikki Bella]

So, AJ talking about tonight, we have WWE hall of Fame. Are you nervous to, like, give your speech? Are you excited?

[AJ Styles]

Anxious to get it over with? I think when I'm nervous or whatever it is I might be feeling, I just want to get over with.

[Nikki Bella]

Yeah.

[AJ Styles]

I don't want to have to deal with it. I'll be honest with you. Wrestlemania is one of those things. I was like, let's just get it over with.

[Nikki Bella]

Yeah.

[AJ Styles]

Let's just get through this.

[Nikki Bella]

Yes.

[AJ Styles]

There's so much going on.

[Nikki Bella]

So much. Isn't it wild? Did you. When did you get in? Thursday.

[AJ Styles]

Yeah, I got in Thursday morning.

[Nikki Bella]

Yeah, it's like non stop.

[AJ Styles]

Yeah.

[Brie Bella]

And then.

[Nikki Bella]

Was it hard?

[Brie Bella]

I know you can't tell us, but was it hard to pick the person who's inducting you? Because I feel like you have so many close friends in the business there.

[AJ Styles]

It was, but some of them couldn't induct me.

[Nikki Bella]

Oh, that's right.

[AJ Styles]

You know, that is. Which. I get it. It's fine. It's. But I found the right.

[Nikki Bella]

The right person.

[Brie Bella]

Oh, my gosh.

[Nikki Bella]

People.

[Brie Bella]

See, I feel like.

[Nikki Bella]

Kidding. Yeah.

[Brie Bella]

I feel like it. There's more pressure on the. The people who induct the person because they need to, Like.

[Nikki Bella]

I don't know, you want to give them the proper. Like, you don't want to miss anything because so many people are humble when they get up there and accept it, that the person that's doing, like.

[Brie Bella]

Yeah, they can't be the humble.

[Nikki Bella]

They got it. Yeah. They gotta be honeymoon.

[AJ Styles]

Yeah.

[Nikki Bella]

Like, fully hype.

[Brie Bella]

Yeah. So that would be hard, you know?

[AJ Styles]

Yeah. I wouldn't want to be in that position. I remember me and Dolph Ziggler sat sitting in the front row watching the hall of Fame going, gosh, if they could just play a video for us and no one have to induct us, you know, and bring us out, that would be so much easier. Not gonna happen with me, even though I'd like it to, because I already got my video, which is super cool.

[Brie Bella]

I can't wait.

[AJ Styles]

The Creed montage they put out. I love that song.

[Brie Bella]

Yes, yes. I mean, it was. I mean, epic.

[Nikki Bella]

Very.

[AJ Styles]

It was unreal. Like, I was. Man, they were like, have you seen the video?

[Nikki Bella]

Yeah.

[AJ Styles]

And. And I'm sitting. I'm standing in gorilla waiting to go out, and I'm. I'm watching. I go. I can't watch this because I'm starting to get emotional.

[Nikki Bella]

Yeah. Oh, man, that gives me chill.

[AJ Styles]

So I didn't even watch it. I had to wait till I got home to watch it all.

[Nikki Bella]

Oh, my gosh. I bet I would. I would feel the same way now, being in these fields right now. And after tonight, like, is there something like, have you thought about this? Is there that one thing that you want to be remembered for? When the name AJ Styles comes up, this is what they think about.

[AJ Styles]

Well, the easy word is, like, phenomenal, right?

[Nikki Bella]

Oh, yeah. But not the face that runs the place.

[AJ Styles]

No, no, no, no.

[Nikki Bella]

That was my favorite.

[AJ Styles]

But it's. It's. It's who you ask.

[Nikki Bella]

Yeah, right.

[AJ Styles]

If they ask the guys and the girls that I worked with, I just want them to be like, he was, like, the nicest guy. Like, he really cared about us. Like, that's what I hope they see, what hope they feel. But if you're a fan, I just want, like, man, that guy gave it all. Like, he gave everything that he really did. I want to get into heaven, hopefully One day the Lord will accept me.

[Brie Bella]

Oh, he will.

[AJ Styles]

And I get up there and he goes, wow, you really used up this body. Yeah, I did. You know, so I just. I just wanted to make the most of everything that I got and that I've been blessed with.

[Nikki Bella]

Yeah, you really have. I mean, to think of what you did in the ring all the way up into the end, till the end. I just made my body hurt watching.

[AJ Styles]

I. I saw a bunch of the smackdown crew.

[Nikki Bella]

Yeah.

[AJ Styles]

Leaving to go to smackdown, and I was just like, oh, go hurt yourself, losers.

[Nikki Bella]

Have fun. Yeah, I'll wake up good tomorrow.

[Brie Bella]

Yeah, right.

[AJ Styles]

I don't know that we'll ever recover fully from what we've done to our bodies, by the way. Even though we've. We're tired, it doesn't seem like it's that much different from being in the ring, because it just is what it is at this point.

[Nikki Bella]

Yeah. Do you get into any of the, like, biohacking, like, cryotherapy, red light therapy? Do you do any of that?

[AJ Styles]

I'm a big, cold plunge guy.

[Brie Bella]

Oh, you are.

[Nikki Bella]

Okay.

[AJ Styles]

Yep. Every time I work out, the cold plunge is gonna happen before that.

[Nikki Bella]

Okay, nice.

[AJ Styles]

After the workout is the sauna. So I have to dedicate at least maybe an hour and a half, two hours to my workout.

[Brie Bella]

Oh, gosh.

[Sonic Advertiser]

Good for you.

[AJ Styles]

But it's not all weights, you know, and just trying to, you know, find the right peptides to jump into.

[Nikki Bella]

So, yes.

[AJ Styles]

Get some healing going.

[Brie Bella]

Gosh, I still haven't jumped into that, but I want to, because people are saying the healing ones, like, make you feel that.

[Nikki Bella]

I hear the recovery and the healing ones are so amazing. I hear now there's, like, specifics. Specific peptides for, like, ligaments or joints that are, like, just incredible.

[AJ Styles]

Yeah, I need to get in this. Yeah, definitely. It's. It's your own body making its own stuff. You just need a little boost to get there. So.

[Brie Bella]

Exactly.

[Nikki Bella]

When you get in your 40s, we

[Brie Bella]

all need a little boost.

[AJ Styles]

Yeah, we do.

[Brie Bella]

Yes. Oh, my gosh. Now, is there anything that's on your bucket list that now that you have all this free time that you're looking to do?

[AJ Styles]

Wow, that's a really good question. I'll tell you one that's been on my bucket list. I want to go to one of those Alaskan cruises.

[Brie Bella]

Oh, my gosh, yes.

[AJ Styles]

Have you guys seen that?

[Brie Bella]

Okay, so can I just tell you some things that have done it? I was literally talking to the glam girls earlier about this. This. Have you seen The National Geographic one.

[AJ Styles]

No.

[Brie Bella]

Okay. By the way, the ship's nice because it's only like 100 people or something. So it's like high in a. Nice. But you get a National Geographic guide. So you go into Alaska, he takes you through or she. The hikes. But also they show you the different lands, the wildlife. But I looked the whole thing and I told Brian, I'm like, when the kids are old enough, we should do this one. Because I feel like if there's any way to do an Elastin cruise, like, that's the way.

[AJ Styles]

So. Yes. I love my kids also. I don't want them to go with me.

[Brie Bella]

Yeah, yeah.

[AJ Styles]

So, like, if it's for me and the wife, I really appreciate everything that's going on and be romantic and all that stuff. So that's kind of. I think that'd be really a lot of fun. I believe I don't know much about it. I haven't researched it at all. But I would assume that you probably board on that ship in Washington state.

[Nikki Bella]

Oh, I would just totally assume.

[Brie Bella]

I didn't look at all the details. But you have to.

[AJ Styles]

Yeah, that would make sense. Right?

[Brie Bella]

Right. Which it'd be fun to then spend a night there. Because the oysters and the bubbles and Seattle, like some of those hotels looking out at the. I don't know, do they call it the ocean sound.

[AJ Styles]

Like maybe two months in Washington state. Going back and forth when I worked for TNA doing. What was it called? MTV made. Do you remember that show MTV made?

[Brie Bella]

I remember hearing it.

[AJ Styles]

So you would take someone and who's just like. For me it was a girly girl and make her into a pro wrestler.

[Brie Bella]

Oh, co.

[AJ Styles]

So she was from Washington, so I spent some time up there.

[Nikki Bella]

Yes. Maid. Okay. Now I remember that. Yes.

[AJ Styles]

Yeah, I remember it was maybe spring and they were excited about going to the beach. And I'm like, it's still cold. They were there a little beach, though.

[Nikki Bella]

I was like, this is not wild.

[Brie Bella]

Okay. When Brian first took me to the beach, I was like, oh, I'm a California girl. I'm like, no, no, no. I need like sun. Bikini.

[Nikki Bella]

When are you, like, laying out rocks mainly?

[AJ Styles]

No, there was a. There was a beach there.

[Brie Bella]

Yeah, there's a beach. But it's freezing.

[AJ Styles]

Yeah, but still cold. Like, I'm 80s 90s. It was 60.

[Nikki Bella]

Well, I mean, don't the whales, like, kick it there all year long because it's so cold Some spots, yeah.

[Brie Bella]

And then you see seals. I'm like, not about to fight mammals out There.

[Nikki Bella]

I've done.

[Brie Bella]

Yeah.

[Nikki Bella]

I'm like, no.

[Brie Bella]

I'm like, no way.

[Nikki Bella]

That's fine. Well, so, aj, before we let you go, we always give our listeners, when we have guests on a little bit of inspiration, affirmation. Is there a quote or mantra you could leave everyone with?

[AJ Styles]

Well, I was talking about this the other day. People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.

[Brie Bella]

Oh, my gosh.

[Nikki Bella]

I've never heard that. No. That is really good.

[Brie Bella]

So say that again.

[AJ Styles]

People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.

[Nikki Bella]

Wow.

[Brie Bella]

And it hits hard. It does. And that's so true.

[Nikki Bella]

That is so true.

[Brie Bella]

And that's actually what a lot of people need to realize today, like, with everything going on, you know? Cause I feel like a lot of people, you feel like, don't care right now. And so it's hard to trust and listen and so.

[Nikki Bella]

But then you'll get glimpses of where you're like, wow, people really do.

[Brie Bella]

Right.

[Nikki Bella]

You know what I mean?

[AJ Styles]

But in so many ways, though, that it's hard to know if they care because it's such a corrupt place that people live in.

[Nikki Bella]

No.

[AJ Styles]

Then we double thinking, no. Yeah, you're overthinking. But the one thing that you can do is always be courteous, nice, you know, pleasant to be around, humble, you know, Like, I feel like that goes a long way.

[Nikki Bella]

Oh, yeah.

[AJ Styles]

And sometimes people will never trust you because of what has happened in their life before.

[Nikki Bella]

Yeah, right.

[AJ Styles]

You can still always be the guy that they know that, you know, he's. He's always told the truth to me. He's never stabbed me in the back.

[Nikki Bella]

And, yeah, I always try and, like, read people or look people in the eye and try to get a feeling of them, of like, does this person need a hug right now or do they just need this extra smile or some type of moment? Like, I really try.

[Brie Bella]

Well, even at WWE World, a lot of the fans line will be like, the Bellas always give the best hugs, but Nikki and I feel like sometimes they just need it. Sometimes we want to give them hugs.

[Nikki Bella]

Really good hug.

[AJ Styles]

I'm a hugger. Yeah, I get it. Yeah. Like, sometimes a good squeeze goes a long way.

[Brie Bella]

It really does.

[Nikki Bella]

I was telling Bri. Oh, wait, nevermind. But, yeah, I'll tell you.

[AJ Styles]

Oh, she can't tell that one.

[Brie Bella]

I know. I go, wait, I think I know what you're about to say.

[AJ Styles]

Did I admit this to you guys? When we are over, you know, at the Royal Rumble, I don't know if I admitted this to you guys, but I, I, I, I didn't know Bri was there.

[Nikki Bella]

Oh, yeah.

[AJ Styles]

And then I go up to hug Nikki.

[Nikki Bella]

Yeah.

[AJ Styles]

And it was Bri.

[Brie Bella]

Oh, really?

[AJ Styles]

I don't think I told you guys.

[Brie Bella]

Oh, my gosh.

[Nikki Bella]

That is hilarious.

[AJ Styles]

They got me.

[Nikki Bella]

Yeah.

[AJ Styles]

So now you guys know.

[Brie Bella]

She went. She went.

[Nikki Bella]

She has her long dark hair.

[Brie Bella]

I know.

[Nikki Bella]

Went and bought some girls. And now you weren't uses her.

[Brie Bella]

But you weren't the first one to do that at Saudi. Because.

[Nikki Bella]

Because so many people were doing it

[Brie Bella]

and I wasn't telling anyone. So our truth. I mean, I couldn't believe how many people. And then I would play it like I was Nikki. Like, hey, Nick, what's up? Give me. Like, I was like, hey. And then I'm like, oh, my gosh, we look that much alike.

[Nikki Bella]

We do look a lot alike now.

[AJ Styles]

Now. What are you talking about? You guys have always looked alike. I remember the first time I met Jimmy and Jey uso.

[Nikki Bella]

Yeah.

[AJ Styles]

And dude, I was struggling trying to tell them apart. So I looked, look at their tattoos. And that was how I was doing it.

[Nikki Bella]

Yeah.

[AJ Styles]

Now I'm like, they look so easy, so totally different.

[Nikki Bella]

I mean, I even remember when they first came in with Umaga and he was like, everyone meet my cousins. And I'm like, those twins are so identical. And now I, I'm the same. I'm like, how did I ever confuse that?

[AJ Styles]

Yeah.

[Nikki Bella]

Like, ever.

[Brie Bella]

I know, but I feel like when

[Nikki Bella]

you get to know us, it's kind of the same, right?

[AJ Styles]

Yeah. Yeah. You know, once I realized it, I was like, how did I ever get you guys confused?

[Nikki Bella]

Totally.

[AJ Styles]

It's kind of easy to see.

[Nikki Bella]

Yeah. We have such different personalities.

[Brie Bella]

Yeah. She has the horns up there and I have the.

[Nikki Bella]

She loves saying that. Usually the ones with the horns says it to the other person. So that's just what I tell myself.

[AJ Styles]

That's fair.

[Nikki Bella]

Do you know what I mean?

[AJ Styles]

I, I kind of. That I can see it.

[Nikki Bella]

Yeah.

[Brie Bella]

I'm just saying, right?

[AJ Styles]

You guys are both sweet. I'm just saying.

[Brie Bella]

Natural heel.

[AJ Styles]

Someone's a little more outgoing than the other. Maybe that's a better way to put it, you know?

[Nikki Bella]

Thank you. You see?

[Brie Bella]

And more sassy. That's fine.

[AJ Styles]

Yeah.

[Nikki Bella]

You know, girl knows herself.

[Brie Bella]

Oh, my gosh. Well, aj, thank you. This is amazing.

[Nikki Bella]

Thank you for coming on. And I can't wait to celebrate you tonight and watch and all that.

[Brie Bella]

And, you know, they say nice guys finish last, but that's not true. Because you proved that nice guys finish first. You, my husband. There's so many of you that.

[AJ Styles]

Well, I did lose my last match.

[Brie Bella]

Yeah, there's that.

[AJ Styles]

So.

[Brie Bella]

But still, like, I'm so happy for you. And tonight is your whole. Your whole family's gonna be.

[AJ Styles]

My whole family's gonna be there. I didn't think my son was gonna make it, but now he's. He's made it up here, so it's. Everybody's here.

[Brie Bella]

Good.

[AJ Styles]

[Nikki Bella]

Stick around. Okay, everyone, we are back. And thanks again to Xfinity for sponsoring today's special episode.

He's like, why everyone was crying has been celebrating him because he's one of those superstars who's just always been such a great guy from day one, a very caring guy. I mean, you guys just saw it even in this interview, right? Just truly an incredible human being. Yeah.

[Brie Bella]

And let's be honest, every time we heard AJ Styles music hit, you knew you were going to watch an incredible match. Didn't matter who his opponent was. Honestly, anywhere in the world, wherever he was, he was giving you everything in a match.

[Nikki Bella]

Everything. And you were always so entertained. I have.

[Brie Bella]

I know I have goosebumps.

[Nikki Bella]

And I've been missing his entrance music. You know how you have some people who have like, just these iconic entrance musics that you always just think of. Yeah, I'm really excited to see him tonight, get inducted in the hall of Fame. I'm excited to see him tomorrow at Wrestlemania. Me too.

[Brie Bella]

I mean, how much fun, too.

[Nikki Bella]

We get a dress up, you know,

[Brie Bella]

gonna be a special night.

[Nikki Bella]

Oh, yeah. I'm, like, going with these, like, kind of, like retro Dolce Gabbana feels. I'm not doing a dress this year. I'm doing more of a pant vibe.

[Brie Bella]

Oh, really?

[Nikki Bella]

But it's.

[Brie Bella]

Yeah, but it.

[Nikki Bella]

It. It's giving very Dolce Gabbana, I feel.

[Brie Bella]

How have you not shown your sister

[Nikki Bella]

your hall of Fame?

[Brie Bella]

Oh, girl.

[Nikki Bella]

It's a surprise. Like, I'm even starting my glam early

[Brie Bella]

because it's a surprise. We're sharing a hotel room.

[Nikki Bella]

Well, I mean, surprise. Like, you'll see me when I get dressed. But I'm even, like, making sure I get ready early because I'm like, no, I need to get content, like, in the casino, rolling dice, having a martini.

[Dove Advertiser]

It's.

[Nikki Bella]

You know, I feel like we've kind of have evolved, you know, with the hall of Fame, on how we dress. But I think, too, Vegas, you get away with being a little different as well.

[Brie Bella]

So I thought.

[Nikki Bella]

I don't know, I thought it'd be fun, right?

[Brie Bella]

You know, all right, I'll be looking out for that.

[Nikki Bella]

And I'm gonna have to keep wearing, you know, my boot to, like, keep resting my foot. So we're all good for tomorrow. So I feel like a pant vibe was the right way to go.

[Brie Bella]

I agree.

[Nikki Bella]

Right? Yes. Yeah.

[Brie Bella]

Well. Well, I tell you what, I'm. You know, this week's already been incredible, and I am so for really the kickoff, I feel like hall of Fame really kicks off that, like, special WrestleMania weekend and tomorrow, Sunday. I just cannot wait. I'm.

[Nikki Bella]

I'm just excited for everything. I've been. I mean, even being at WWE World yesterday and seeing all the fans and just being in the environment, you know, we only get this once a year, and it's just so incredible to see. And when you look at, like, all over Las Vegas and the big LED screens and you just see constantly all the WD programming running, you just get fired up.

[Brie Bella]

You know, when you're.

[Nikki Bella]

I mean, think we. When we've been glamming in our room and looking out the window, we're Just, like, staring everything with, like, shout out to the win. You guys are always so incredible.

[Brie Bella]

Tess.

[Nikki Bella]

And just, like, looking out and, like, constantly just seeing. I think I've seen every ad possible. Can I just tell you one other thing?

[Brie Bella]

Okay. Can I just tell you one thing that's blown my mind? The electric cars. They're not the Waymo.

[Nikki Bella]

No, they're not even cars. They're like being in a. A part of, like, Mateo would know.

[Brie Bella]

Not like a Zoox, but, like, you're like, O, O X. Yeah.

[Nikki Bella]

Like, as if you're in a individual cart of a monorail or what. You know what I mean?

[Brie Bella]

Because they're like. You get in them. They're taxis.

[Sonic Advertiser]

They're electric.

[Brie Bella]

No driver, you guys.

[Nikki Bella]

Okay.

[Brie Bella]

They're benches, staring at each other.

[Nikki Bella]

But before we go off the air, I have to give a shout out to the Goodyear blue blimp. Oh, yeah. And to WWE for, like, hooking this up. Okay, so you guys probably saw me. I posted it on my Instagram earlier. But when. So Valentine's Day. And I know. I've talked about it on the podcast. You know, Mateo and I went over to Monterey. They're doing the big golf tour in Pebble Beach. Mateo spotted the Goodyear blimp. And even Brie knows. He is obsessed with the Goodyear blimps. Obsessed with blimps. He could give you all the facts about Goodyear blimp. Just, he. He's obsessed. And. And when I. We saw it at Monterey, I was like, oh, I'm gonna look on their, you know, website. And I saw that they were at WrestleMania. And I'm like, wait a minute. I gotta re.

[Brie Bella]

Look at this.

[Nikki Bella]

They're gonna be at WrestleMania. So I reached out to WWPR, like, how can I make this happen? Like, please, I will do anything if you can get my son on the Goodyear blimp. And so Mateo and Artem flew in Wednesday night, and yesterday morning, we all flew the Goodyear blimp. And you guys, my son, like, even. And Bri watched us from the hotel room.

[Brie Bella]

Oh, my gosh. I even made a video where I'm, like, waving. I'm like, I see.

[Nikki Bella]

Yeah. Like, to see your kids excitement on something that they truly love and watch videos on and know all the knowledge and the history.

[Brie Bella]

I mean, he knows all the history.

[Nikki Bella]

He knows all the history.

[Brie Bella]

He doesn't miss a fact.

[Nikki Bella]

Well, the pilots were like, this has been the best experience for us because to have someone have so much enthusiasm and excitement and know. Know things. They go, this this makes our job. He goes, I've never have felt so happy on, like, taking someone before. And then they let Mateo sit in the pilot seat, and they gave him the radio as they were landing the blamp. And even all the stuff that I learned, I was like, oh, my gosh, this is crazy. But, like, shout out to Goodyear blimp and you guys will see it all WrestleMania week. It's going all week long. Thank you so much. Like, when you get to check a bucket list, you know, thing off your dog, check it off your child's list, but also, like, do, like, a dream come true for them, that meant everything. Plus, I think I'm mom of the lifetime. Not even of the year. Mom and Dad. I wanted Artem to share that moment, too. And it was so amazing for all of us to share it together and awesome. It was like he just. And how he wouldn't let go of that Goodyear blimp in his hand. They had. Oh, they had all these, you guys, like, stuff for him when we arrived and we were wearing our hats. But, yeah, that was, like, an incredible moment yesterday.

[Brie Bella]

I mean, there's a lot of big moments that surround WrestleMania, and I love, love that he got that.

[Nikki Bella]

[Brie Bella]

[Brie Bella]

outfit Birdie put together. Oh, well, I love.

[Nikki Bella]

Well, can you tell them yes how? Oh, for the airport. No, because I was gonna say maybe. We were FaceTiming her this morning, and it was a very pretty outfit when. Well, she's. I got all my nieces really cute sparkly pants for Saturday because I was like, wait, we all got to be in, like, cute sparkle pants. So thank goodness I remind her, because Birdie almost forgot it. And Birdie's so cute. She didn't even attempt to open it because she was. I thought, mommy, maybe it was for my birthday. I know. So for her, right on FaceTime, she's walking to go grab the bag her pants. And I. We hear, like, click, click, click. And I look at Brian goes she wearing high heels?
