Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
Yes. Um, low. Here's the thing. When I started, do you remember, uh, like 2015, 2015 was the year of like meme accounts, right? Right. So I'll name a few. Fat Jewish. Fuck Jerry. My therapist says. Yes. Beige cardigan. Like all these.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
Yeah. I know. Am I aging myself? No, because these are all ringing a bell. So I actually started in 2015 or 16 as a meme account. OK, so when I started and had an idea like, oh, all these funny things that people are writing, like I love to write and and I wanted to do that, too, just for fun or even to just like, you know, relate to other people.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
Because I think I was like going through a depressed time and like I loved just reading those like quick, funny, you know, memes they were called at the time. So I was like, you know, you know, those late night bedtime thoughts. I was like going to bed and I was like, I will open a meme account, like literally.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
And I will call it, not scream, literally just because my brain was wired in those names. Like everybody had a name that was like catchy and like, you know, so, and I thought it was genius that my brain came up with this a night and started the next day.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
Well, Ryan Reynolds, I'll tell you why. Because he and Kristen Stewart, oh my God, Kristen Stewart. I was even more than Ryan Reynolds because she is so cool, right? You just see her and you're like, okay, coolest human on earth that like, even with Ryan, I was like, okay, he has some like basic bitch millennial in him, you know? He'll say it. He is a basic bitch millennial.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
So Kristen Stewart is not like to me. I was just like, she's too. Oh, when I was pregnant, Kylie, do you ever get this? When you're pregnant, you feel less cool. A thousand percent. Okay. So in my mind, Kristen Stewart came on when I was bumping, like I was so pregnant. And I was like, if I wasn't pregnant, I'd be like smoking a cigarette with her and like be like, what drug are we doing?
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
How uncool is that? And by the way, I couldn't shut up about it. So I kept telling her this while she was on my podcast. I'd be like... It's uncool to be pregnant. I know. It's so uncool to be growing a human. I know. And she was just like, yeah, totally. I even told her, I was like, you're just so cool. And really, I was like, do you watch any reality TV?
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
No, like all the things like you could just tell she's too cool for all those things. However, I still managed to kind of find the like. the relatable Kristen Stewart. And that's like the best part. Like when people listen to the episode and we're like, we saw a side of her that we didn't see. And, you know, she's usually like this in interviews and she was more open.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
I was like, that to me is the biggest thing. compliment I could ever get in my life. Obviously that she was willing to come and she came and then that people saw a different side of her and that she kind of was like, I got that little basic bitch out of her, like a tiny bit, even there's so little, but I got some of it, you know, but that, that, those are really cool moments, obviously.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
Um, yeah, she was, she was super cool.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
Yeah. Should it be? I would say, which this is probably unpopular, I would say New York or New Jersey. And this is why I think for you, yes, because you're an East Coast girl. So for me personally, like I like those franchises, even though everyone be like Beverly Hills, you know, whatever. But I'm from New York. I want to see what they're doing in New York. You know what I mean?
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
And or New Jersey, because I'm familiar with it and it's like still here and they come into the city. So I feel like because you're an East Coast girl, like you would care more about that, relate more to it, feel it more, get into it more. So, yeah, I would say New York or New Jersey to go back, though, to the OG days, like not start at present day.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
Oh, my God. We have work to do.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
You and Jason play head-to-head. Who's better at pop culture stuff? Like, would he know Vanderpump Rules? I don't think so. Would he know more than you? I don't think so. Okay. So you're saying you might be the better one of you two.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
It's so embarrassing. Well, Vanderpump Rules, it's in the title. That woman with the hair is Lisa Vanderpump. Perfect. This actually connects with our first question. She was on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and her business was managing a restaurant called Sir.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
And she was like, and the producers who would follow her would be like, wait, you have drama on the housewives, but we see that your staff is like hot, sexy. They're all having sex or all whatever. Maybe we should do a show about them. And so she started producing that show, which then became Vanderpump Rules because she was the boss of this restaurant.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
All of the staff were like fucking each other, like doing wild shit. So it's based in a restaurant. Right. But they are like 45 now. So they haven't been working at the restaurant. Like there have been like 10 seasons or something. Yeah. So, but I'm so glad that now, you know, I'm like going to take this honor with me that now, you know, at least like what it is.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
I wasn't thinking love Island for you. I was thinking for you. Love is blind. I feel like your love is blind.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
And it's Netflix.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
So I think that's where I would start for you. I think Love Island is like too much for you. It's throwing you in. It's like 65 episodes. I'm not lying. It's literally 65 because Love Island is shot like Big Brother where it's like the cameras are just there all day. So it goes up every day. It's one a day for the whole like three weeks that they're there in this villa. Yeah.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
So every day it's literally a show a day. So there are literally like 60 episodes. So that's not for you. That's not for a beginner. No. Love is blind is like 10, you know? great.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
It's a commitment of no other, like people need to like be with their laptops all day. It's really, it's really not for moms. Like I, it's really hard for me when I decide to dive in, I need to like, I'm like fast forwarding episodes. I'm like, I need to be calculate. It's crazy. Yeah.

Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
Babe, when I tell you that was peak reality TV, when I tell you it was like waiters dating each other, boning each other, the best friend boning his best friend's best friend, it was like reality TV like that doesn't exist anymore.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
Oh, yeah. Outstanding show. Yeah. I mean, that was really our times, you know? It was like everybody was watching Jersey Shore on MTV. Like, we were all watching it. It wasn't like, are you watching? We all watched it.

Yeah, you could be a mom and still be a dumb bitch is the sentence. Yeah. And I say it every day.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
Yeah. Because it's not... Again, the three people that don't get it will be like... It's more like... Because before, when I got pregnant with Noah, my first, I had just started kind of taking off and doing what I do. And I was like very much like, oh, like, you know how you're scared like a baby is going to halt your career and your passions and your everything. And I said to myself, like...
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
you're going to keep doing what you're doing. You're just going to be a mom, but you're going to keep doing the dumb shit. That's how I talk to myself that you do. Like you're going to watch reality TV. You're going to take selfies. You're going to, I even told myself, which is so weird that I actually ended up doing that. I'd be like, you'll breastfeed that baby.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
And as you're breastfeeding, you're going to fucking talk about what's happening today. I kept on doing my shit. Meaning like you don't have to be a mom. And the minute you become a mom, only care about mom things, do mom things, baby stuff, like not know how to have fun anymore, not care about dumb shit, not have your hobbies, your friends, your... You can do all that and be a mom.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
you said it even better than I could. And, and moreover, I think that they give you so much motivation and even more purpose in life. Nothing makes me happier than being able to do what I'm doing and come home to my baby now babies or be home with my babies and then have to run out and come back. Like it gives me this like complete life. You know what I mean? That I, that I, that I love, um,
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
But I want people to know that if you're scared to have a baby, obviously there are a million things that go into it. And you can always do your little plus and minus or timeline or when is right. I did that too. But I think that the fear that you won't be able to succeed anymore or you won't be able to start something new or you won't be able to have any sort of a life or it's just not...
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
what I experience and also what I think that anybody could, um, could do, you know, and balance it so that you don't have to. And by the way, there are people that want to just lean into that and they end up like, you know, learning a parenting courses or wanting to teach kids stuff. Great. You don't have to, is what I'm saying. You don't have to get the mom haircut, even though I did get a Bob.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
Um, you don't have to, I'm growing out the hair, you know?

Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
Baby hairs breakage. That's what I lost. Yeah. It's not, I really, I don't get it. Again, it makes sense that you would be burning these calories or whatever scientifically is supposed to happen. And for the people that it happens for, fuck you. But yeah, it was not my experience.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
It's so true. I said a very similar thing about birth plans. Because I from the beginning said, No, what's a birth plan? How could you plan when you don't know what the fuck is going to happen? How? And then I my explanation for that was like, imagine you plan this whole thing. And then God forbid, you end up needing a C section or, you know, and how that disappointment is
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
Yeah, but I don't think I say fucker, you know. they always pick the ones you don't use. And this is me lying to myself probably, but I really don't think it's from me because the fucker, I don't say, but I really need to look up. I was going to tell myself to look it up. I think what I'm assuming the right thing to do is, is not do what I did, which was laugh and like be like, no or yes.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
Um, but you know what I said to another mom the other day, I was like him cursing is like the least of my problems. You know what I mean? Like, absolutely. Like, like me and my husband even agree on it. Like we're like,
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
that yeah to other people they're like that's crazy but i'm like him saying that word that he doesn't know what it means yes really is not at the top of my like we need to you know take care of this with noah you know what i mean but i think what we're gonna do because it is happening i am sure kylie i'm positive he's not doing it at school so like i'm not worried because he's way more scared of his teacher which is like i need to think about what i'm doing wrong here
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
But, yeah, he wouldn't do it at school because I've said to him, like, should I tell your teacher you're saying that? And he's like, no, no, no, no, no. So he wouldn't do it at school. He's just doing it with us and, like, to get a rise.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
Well, I I feel like because like I've told you that I've been doing what I have been doing on top of my kids since they were born. You know what I mean? Like I was literally breastfeeding with Noah being like, so then he went and then he fucking went there and people would respond. But I actually felt like it was more like.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
Not it's so cool, but it was, like, refreshing to people that I just kept on speaking normally. You know what I mean? Next to my kid. And I think the words, like, again, to me, fucker isn't crazy. Like, it's the F word, you know? But to me, like, if he was putting someone else down, I would be way more upset. You know what I mean? Yep.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
If he was it's I feel like it's not if he heard at home that we were speaking not nicely to each other and calling each other names, you know what I mean? But yes, the cursing that we do is more like a fucking this, a fucking that, which isn't great. And I'm not saying speak like that all day, but I would be I would take it way more seriously if he was coming to kids and calling them names.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
stupid or dumb or, or just any, any insulting word, you know what I mean? Then like the cursing that kind of is meaningless.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
Like they will say it and then go, Oh, but how, how did you do that? What did you do?
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce

Your reaction was so chill and yet so perfectly hype. Like there was this underlying, just like, I've made it.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
The vibe passed. I know that was Emma Stone. Listen, when I met her. I that I was working in that event. It was like a love champagne event. And until that night, the big guest was supposed to be Margot Robbie, which is obviously a very exciting interview as well. And last minute, they got Emma Stone instead. And I was like, oh, my God, I love her so much.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
And who could have ever thought in my life that that would be what she would say, that she said, I love your pod, because we didn't, everyone doesn't know what she said. And I genuinely thought she said pad. And I thought there was like a period pad on my face. Because what could she be talking about? She tried to be funny because she is so funny. And I didn't get it. You know?
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Marrying Into Fandom, Pop Culture Crash Course & Postpartum Lies with Amanda Hirsch | Ep. 7
And it was such a moment. But I have to say, she was so... sweet and fun and got it right away and was in on it. And just even after, she was just exactly what you would want Emma Stone to be IRL. And that is kind of what happens with these, which I'm sure you know you're meeting a lot of celebs and A-listers and whatever. And it's like, usually the bigger they are, the fucking cooler and nicer.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
