How do you feel about this? Well, I feel kind of similarly. Clearly, I have a type. He's my physical body type is like a little barrel chesty, a little bit beer belly. I don't like skinny lean guys. I don't think I ever have. I've always liked like a big bear. Sure. My dad's not a big bear. My dad's a little teeny tiny, like 145 pound guy. But yeah, I'm not into a six pack for Bert.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Must-Have Philly Food, Off-Limits Jokes & Dating Your Spouse with LeeAnn Kreischer | Ep. 18
Here's a funny story. When we were first dating, Bert shaved his entire body. And I was like, yeah, no, you don't have the body type for that. You actually can't do that. Like, that's not your... You're supposed to be a little fuzzy, sir. That's not your gig, man. Look in the mirror. A shaved man with your body shape is just wrong. It is incorrect. Yeah.

Kylie on Must-Have Philly Food, Off-Limits Jokes & Dating Your Spouse with LeeAnn Kreischer | Ep. 18
So he never did it again, but he was shaving his whole body before I met him. And then we started dating. I was like, you got to just pump the brakes. You know who you are. Yes. You're just a big fella. And I love that. I think it's super sexy. It is.

But I have lost that battle, obviously, since it's on camera. So, I mean, it's on record forever. I don't like it because I'm not really like that. But also, not everything he talks about is true. So at a certain point, you know, what I have to do and what I've always done for every special is that I go, well, only I know is true. Or our family. And that's really all that matters.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Must-Have Philly Food, Off-Limits Jokes & Dating Your Spouse with LeeAnn Kreischer | Ep. 18
And because I wrote comedy before I met Bert, that art, that art form, to me, is more important than anything else, really, as long as we're not... really going over a boundary of privacy that we're not comfortable with. So when I sat in the audience and listened to everybody really enjoy him laying it on thick, I go, you know what? It's pretty easy to listen to how I actually talk.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Must-Have Philly Food, Off-Limits Jokes & Dating Your Spouse with LeeAnn Kreischer | Ep. 18
I have a podcast. If you want to see what I really sound like, you can tune in and hear me. I do have a Southern accent, but I for sure don't sound like his imitation. So I just had to kind of treat it as an art form and just disconnect. Because in the beginning, I was like, you have to stop doing that. You are misrepresenting me so profoundly. But I also don't have two cousins who are married.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Must-Have Philly Food, Off-Limits Jokes & Dating Your Spouse with LeeAnn Kreischer | Ep. 18
You know, I mean, I did say to him, they kid, they ain't blood, but it was relative to something else. And he just and I did everything happened except. My two cousins are not married, although I do have cousins that are married, but they don't have a kid. So anyway, he just kind of mushes all this super deep redneck stuff together.

And at a certain point, I had to let go because it was really funny. Right. And that's the point is entertainment is really funny. Not all of it's true. Most of it's true, but not all of it.

Kylie on Must-Have Philly Food, Off-Limits Jokes & Dating Your Spouse with LeeAnn Kreischer | Ep. 18
Totally. I feel that way too. I feel if you, You invest where you should be invested. You should not be invested in sports radio. You should be invested in the conversation you had with your husband. That's it. So I'm not invested in the comments people put on Burt or my or anybody's social media. I'm invested in what happens between me and Burt.

Kylie on Must-Have Philly Food, Off-Limits Jokes & Dating Your Spouse with LeeAnn Kreischer | Ep. 18
the progress of our life and that's that's all that really matters is there ever something where you're just like that's where I draw the line sort of so like in this last special in the very top of the special he talks about me going through menopause mm-hmm and at a certain he had done it so much that his tone shifted and it started sounding really mean Like he didn't like me.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Must-Have Philly Food, Off-Limits Jokes & Dating Your Spouse with LeeAnn Kreischer | Ep. 18
Like he was putting me down. Sure. And I gave him this note. I saw it a couple times and it kind of stayed that way a couple times. And I was like, it doesn't sound like you love your wife. It sounds like you borderline like are intolerant of her or don't like her. So I don't like that. You need to find the smile. Where's the rascal? Where's the like, isn't she the cutest?
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Must-Have Philly Food, Off-Limits Jokes & Dating Your Spouse with LeeAnn Kreischer | Ep. 18
Like, look at that big wart on her nose. Isn't it so cute? You know, you got to find that piece. And he did. And when he shifted, I was like, I'm fine with you talking about all of it. So that tone and intention is just as important as the words you say or the story.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Must-Have Philly Food, Off-Limits Jokes & Dating Your Spouse with LeeAnn Kreischer | Ep. 18
You know, the feeling behind it matters. And, and I love that he took that note. Other than that, I don't know that I've had any, any content that's been off limits. He just kind of naturally knows what's really off limits. So we've had an issue.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Must-Have Philly Food, Off-Limits Jokes & Dating Your Spouse with LeeAnn Kreischer | Ep. 18
Yes. So typically, we let them watch the special before we send in the final cut to Netflix. And only one time, Isla was like, you can't put that joke in. And we took it out. So I think the interesting thing about Bert's journey as a comic is that when he started getting a little bit of success, there was no Instagram. Right.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Must-Have Philly Food, Off-Limits Jokes & Dating Your Spouse with LeeAnn Kreischer | Ep. 18
So when he started talking about our kids, it was very much in a vacuum, right? It was just if you were at the live show, that's what we thought. You heard it. Yes. And so he would do the special and put those things on the special. But we also thought, well, everyone's already heard it. He doesn't have this huge fan base.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Must-Have Philly Food, Off-Limits Jokes & Dating Your Spouse with LeeAnn Kreischer | Ep. 18
We really, you know, when you start out as an artist, you don't really know if you're going to become this successful, which we're very blessed that he has. So telling stories about our family, for one, is his life. It's his world. The three of us are like his world. So that's what he's inspired to talk about.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Must-Have Philly Food, Off-Limits Jokes & Dating Your Spouse with LeeAnn Kreischer | Ep. 18
Now, as the girls have gotten older and retroactively look back at what he's talked about, they're like, yeah, I don't know if that was cool. I don't think that was cool. You like exposed us to the whole world without our permission. And we agree, actually. I totally agree. But at the same time, we didn't really know where we were going. And social media didn't exist at all, like Facebook.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Must-Have Philly Food, Off-Limits Jokes & Dating Your Spouse with LeeAnn Kreischer | Ep. 18
But that's it. So... If we were to do it over again, I don't know how we would have done it differently because I have another opinion about that, too. You know, Bird did this great story about Isla's period party. Isla, when she got her period, wanted a period party. Her sister fell apart and was like, I'm not ready to be a big girl. I don't want this. And I was like, we are throwing down.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Must-Have Philly Food, Off-Limits Jokes & Dating Your Spouse with LeeAnn Kreischer | Ep. 18
I need a red velvet cake. I need a pasta with marinara sauce. I need all the adults to wear it, to have red wine. I need everyone to come dressed in red. And she wanted, she wanted to make her red velvet cake. She iced it and she named it Jason because she got her period on Friday the 13th. Shut up. That is my daughter. And that is a true story. That was a second kid. It's insane.

Kylie on Must-Have Philly Food, Off-Limits Jokes & Dating Your Spouse with LeeAnn Kreischer | Ep. 18
So Bert wasn't even planning on talking about that. And then he had to do Conan and he just started talking about it on Conan because he never meets a stranger and he's a complete open book. And all of a sudden in the aftermath, he went, oh, wait, I talked about I was period on Conan. Oh, that might not have been a great plan. And then, you know, the toothpaste out of the tube at that point.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Must-Have Philly Food, Off-Limits Jokes & Dating Your Spouse with LeeAnn Kreischer | Ep. 18
Right. from that one story. Like now I have something of humor to talk to my daughter about, girl dads, when she gets her period. We're throwing a period party for our daughter. This is so inspiring that your household can talk about these things so openly. I am so amazed that a dad is this supportive of his daughter getting her period. We threw the period party.

Kylie on Must-Have Philly Food, Off-Limits Jokes & Dating Your Spouse with LeeAnn Kreischer | Ep. 18
And she, in fact, invited six girls and two boys and didn't tell the boys what the party was about and revealed it when she cut the cake. This is for my period. The two boys were like, what? It was brilliant and amazing.

I'm still a Girl Scout troop leader. This is my 14th year. I started a Girl Scout troop when Isla was in kindergarten. I recognized in preschool that Isla had some learning differences. She was quite significantly dyslexic, but I knew she was super smart. So by the middle of kindergarten, she still didn't have her ABCs and was the only kid in class who didn't have her ABCs.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Must-Have Philly Food, Off-Limits Jokes & Dating Your Spouse with LeeAnn Kreischer | Ep. 18
And I went, I need to do something that levels the playing field here. I'm going to start a Girl Scout troop and I'm going to invite all of the super smart kids in kindergarten. and mine. And I'm going to find two other moms that I want to do this with, that I want to spend time with, and that's how I'm gonna do this troop. And we still have that troop.

Kylie on Must-Have Philly Food, Off-Limits Jokes & Dating Your Spouse with LeeAnn Kreischer | Ep. 18
Isla was a Girl Scout from kindergarten until she graduated high school. And Georgia was a Girl Scout from second grade until she graduated high school. Um, we kept adding different age groups. So even though both my kids are in college, I have my last group, I have two groups. Now I have a group of seniors in high school and a group of juniors in high school, and then I'm retiring.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Must-Have Philly Food, Off-Limits Jokes & Dating Your Spouse with LeeAnn Kreischer | Ep. 18
But I think that running that troop in a conscientious way. So we didn't just take what the Girl Scouts gave us and this, you know, just kind of point and shoot. Mindlessly follow. Yeah. We did not do that. We took what they gave us and went, how do we creatively apply this to our group? What of this does our group need? And what do they already know?
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Must-Have Philly Food, Off-Limits Jokes & Dating Your Spouse with LeeAnn Kreischer | Ep. 18
I don't need to teach them something they already know. You know, there's a lot of STEM stuff in Girl Scouts. They get so much STEM in school. We don't need that kind of STEM. So how do we do STEM a different way? I kind of took that and applied it to running this company. I don't even have a college degree. So I came here just rolling up my sleeves going, well, how would you manage this?
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Must-Have Philly Food, Off-Limits Jokes & Dating Your Spouse with LeeAnn Kreischer | Ep. 18
It can't be that different from managing a Girl Scouts. I mean, there's like, I had 25 girls with 25 different personalities. And I have 13 employees now with 13 different personalities. So it's not really as different as you might think. The analytics piece of like reading financial reports and all that, I already knew how to do that from just running a household.

Kylie on Must-Have Philly Food, Off-Limits Jokes & Dating Your Spouse with LeeAnn Kreischer | Ep. 18
So I think sometimes when we're presented with a challenge that seems really out of our depth, if you really boil down what the basic simple things are in that challenge, you'll find that you maybe already have the skill set. It just looks a little different.

The fancy words that make COO seem huge, when you take it away, it's really personality management and workflow management and financial flow management. And if you run an appropriate household, you're already a COO.

No, I have a weird journey. I think for a minute, I thought I wanted to be an actress until I tried to be an actress. And then I did not want to be an actress. I figured out I much preferred analyzing what was going on in a script. So I started writing screenplays. I wrote eight screenplays. Four of them were optioned. One was made. I got hired to like adapt a novel into a feature film.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Must-Have Philly Food, Off-Limits Jokes & Dating Your Spouse with LeeAnn Kreischer | Ep. 18
All this before I met Bert. And so I always have loved that and that kind of creative exploration of relationships and dialogue. I've always loved that. I've always been a big reader. But I stopped writing when I got pregnant. I actually had a big project I was about to go into production on. I got pregnant with George and I got very morning sick. I was morning sick for like six months.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Must-Have Philly Food, Off-Limits Jokes & Dating Your Spouse with LeeAnn Kreischer | Ep. 18
And then Bert started touring when George was three days old. And we were super broke and I was like managing an apartment building so that we can have free rent and health insurance and just getting us from A to B. And I put all of that kind of aside and started just helping Bert with his creative process, which I really enjoyed.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Must-Have Philly Food, Off-Limits Jokes & Dating Your Spouse with LeeAnn Kreischer | Ep. 18
But at a certain point, I started seeing my future without my kids about six, seven years ago. I was like, well, they're leaving. My life just can't be all about Bert because that's not good for either one of us, right? It's not good for Bert either. So what can I do for myself? And Bert said, you should start a podcast. I was like, nobody wants to hear what I have to say.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Must-Have Philly Food, Off-Limits Jokes & Dating Your Spouse with LeeAnn Kreischer | Ep. 18
Why would anybody want to hear what I have to say? Jason's heard that. I don't have anything to say. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. And he goes... Well, don't worry about who listens to it. Worry about how it makes you feel and talk about things you're interested in and just have your friends and have fun. And don't think of it as like, I am going to now become a personality.

Well, authenticity really is the goal, right? For your life, for everything you do in life, it should be authentically yours. You are an incredibly authentic person. And that's why your podcast is so successful right out of the gate. You are very much who you are.

Can I guess the questions? Did Bert really shave his body? Yes. Okay. Did you really meet in a bowling alley? Yes. What are the questions? Did Burt make you a mixtape? Oh my God, yes. We didn't talk about the four days I asked for a break. Okay. We went to dinner with all my girlfriends and Bert made an actual ass of himself to the point where I was like, I don't know if I can date you.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Must-Have Philly Food, Off-Limits Jokes & Dating Your Spouse with LeeAnn Kreischer | Ep. 18
Like I need four days. Like what the fuck are you talking about? And who are you? Has someone just possessed your body? I cannot even be around you. So I just simply said to him, I just need a couple of days. Dude stopped eating, drinking slim fast. and showering all day and crying in the shower.

So after two days, he wrote me a love letter and made a mixtape and put it on the windshield of my car and then left me a voicemail saying, I've left a mixtape on the windshield of your car. And so in the love letter, all this feelings poured out. And then in some part of the letter, he was like, track eight is exactly how I feel. Now, my question is, why was it track eight? Thank you.

I think it's just every man in the South. Is that what it is? Yeah. I think you guys just aren't familiar with Southern folks so much. No. Shirtless is pretty common. People ask me all the time, what do you think about him being shirtless? I'm like, I didn't really notice. I mean, it's just kind of no shoes, no shirt.
