Chapter 1: What updates does Kylie share about the fan base and Philly Phanatic?
Welcome back to Not Gonna Lie, a WAVE original brought to you by Peppa Pig. Pig changes are coming. I'm your host, Kylie Kelsey, communications major, Philly fanatic fanatic, and my husband will tell you I have some very weird eating habits. As you guys can see, I am not in my home studio today. The entire Not Gonna Lie team took a field trip to New York.
Coming up on today's episode, the Academy Awards are coming up on Sunday, but I'm about to have four kids under the age of five. No, five and under. You get what I'm saying. I haven't seen an adult movie in months, potentially years. It's all kids' movies. So I'm going to honor the kids' movies that have taken over our lives.
And after that, I'll be joined right here on this very set by someone I've admired since I was a teenager, an iconic comedian and bestselling author, Chelsea Handler. That is so on brand. But before we get into all that, I want to give you guys an update on the name of the NGL fan base.
On Morship Monday, I narrowed down the finalists to the outliers, the not gonna liars or NGLers, and the real ones. And the final name is now up to all of you. You can vote right on Instagram and Twitter. Follow us at NGL with Kylie. I'm going to reveal the winner on next week's show. Uh... What are the odds that we did this just to arrive back at NGLers? Decent.
I'd say at least 90% chance we're going to end up back with NGLers. But wouldn't that make for some cute merch? We should do it. Vote for NGLers. I don't think we're going to add any additions to the poll because there's few things I love more than walking into a restaurant and it being a single page because I like to not have too many choices. So I'm going to do the same for you. Three choices.
One, two, three. That's all you get. I have faith that we can pick the best one. NGLers. That's it. Next up, a doom scroll of the week. Philly spring training is now up and running down in Clearwater, Florida. That's right. Clearwater. The Philadelphians have taken over. And my For You page hit me with a perfect TikTok to sum up the annual transition from Eagles football to Phillies baseball.
Let's see it, Queen Emma. An outstanding outfit of Eagles merch. And the natural swap out. The green shoes are away. The Eagles earrings are put on the hooks. The red, white, and blue. She's back, baby. Yes, those fightin' fills. She absolutely nailed this. There is a natural progression from Eagles football season, which we were lucky enough that it got very close.
to spring training, which is nice because then we don't have this terribly long gap. So thank you again to the Eagles for making this a softer transition. But now spring training is underway. It's some people's excuse to get down to Florida, hit some warm weather, get some sun before the Jersey Shore really amps up. So it's a great time to
really ease in into baseball everybody knows at this point hopefully um if you don't the philly fanatic the best mascot it's not up for debate um i'm really sorry swoop but the philly fanatic is the best mascot on the face of the planet and i will die on that hill um he is Handsome, funny, scruffy, and we all know that's how I like my men.

Chapter 2: What are the Screen Time Awards and why are they special?
With three, almost four little ones, I thought I'd take this time to honor the movies that dominate our life with a mini award show I'm calling the Screen Time Awards. We are not opposed to screen time in our house. I really do my best to limit it, but not in a strict way. I will pretend that I set a timer. And I will tell them one more.
And then if my task that I was trying to complete is not finished, I will say, you guys were so well-behaved. I'll let you watch one more. Our girls have tablets, but they only get them on planes and very rarely in the house. and they are not allowed to touch phones. That has been a rule from the very beginning. Occasionally, they will borrow someone's phone and take pictures.
Wyatt's really into taking selfies right now. Dad's thrilled about that one. All right, let's get into these awards. The first category is, if I put this on, will you stop crying? The nominees are Frozen, The Grinch. I said it. I didn't say The Grinch. I said The Grinch. Because that's the only way Benny will request it. We have finally gotten out of that.
It took us about a month after the Christmas holiday to get out of watching The Grinch. Tangled and The Little Mermaid. And the winner is... you guessed it, the Grinch. Because when the little birds ski down the snowy mountainside, she will start to, she being Benny, will start to narrate the entire movie. And when the carolers follow the Grinch, she also tells you that. It's very cute.
You should really experience a Benny Grinch narration. Next up, the award for, okay, the music in this actually hits. your nominees are in kanto we don't talk about berno frozen moana which has been vetoed by ellie so aggressively because taka is scary that's the lava monster she's out won't even let me turn the movie on and wish and the winner is
Encanto, they actually won't let me turn it on anymore, but the songs in that are so good. Our third category is, are you fucking kidding me, Jason? They can't watch this? There aren't even nominees for this one. The winner is RRR. If you haven't seen it, proceed with caution. Do not put it on while kids are in the room.
The opening scene alone is enough to have me ask my husband, are you fucking kidding me? You know what I mean? The next category is best picture played on an iPad on a plane. Like I said, it's one of the only times they get tablets. The nominees are Finding Nemo, Alice in Wonderland, Wreck-It Ralph, and Toy Story. And the winner is... Wreck-It Ralph.
There's always some degree when they're younger of thinking that Ralph is like dad, which we love. He's like a softy, but a strong man. I see the correlation. And now the award for, why am I crying at this as a 32 year old woman? You know, these movies, you know, they hit you right in the feels. The nominees are The Lion King, Up, Charlotte's Web, and Homeward Bound. And the winner is
up of course are you shitting me that you made that storyline you want to open it like that poor carl what a guy and now there's one more special category and that is of course the lifetime achievement award I know we're talking about movies today, but this TV show was also made into a movie, so it technically still counts. It's been on the air for over 20 years now.

Chapter 3: How does Chelsea Handler celebrate her birthdays?
Modesty.
Yes. For my nephews.
What was your favorite... version of that so far? And are you going to recreate it this year?
This year, I already filmed my birthday video. It's going to come out tomorrow on my birthday. I'm just editing it right now. This would be my favorite one because it's not just me. I got a whole bunch of women to ski in bikinis with me and I rented a mountain so that we could ski down and do as many takes as necessary without running from the ski patrol, which is normally how we have to do it.
Especially when I'm topless. But my nephews have made a request a few years back and said, can you please not be topless on Instagram because we're going into college and our friends talk about you. And I was like, that's awesome that they're still talking about me and they're in college. That means I'm still hot. And they're like, that's not how we're seeing it.
And I said, OK, fine, I can respect that. But another reason why I didn't have children and now I'm forced to adhere to my brothers and sisters, children's rules for me. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. So they're attacking me, I feel like. But I did it this year. And at a certain point, you should put your top on probably. So I decided.
But this year was all a bunch of women and we all skied together and I was in the lead. And it was really just the energy is exactly the kind of energy that I want to demonstrate for women everywhere. And it's the energy of the book, which is like female sisterhood, togetherness, let's get this and let's stick together and be empowered by each other.
One of the ones I loved was the dog in the backpack.
Oh, yeah, that was that was that was a cute one. Every time I see that picture, I have these pictures on my phone that rotate. And every time Bernice comes up on my backpack, I was holding Doug, who was my new dog at the time, who was 70 pounds. And then I had Bernice, who was 30 pounds on my back.

Chapter 4: What is Chelsea Handler's perspective on aging and turning 50?
That's outstanding. Thank you. Well, speaking of your birthday, I love how positive you are about getting older as a woman. What is your overall excitement about turning 50?
I feel like 50 is a reset. It's kind of like a rebirth, a restart, a fresh... I feel so positive about... my life and the way that it's turned out, that if I could talk to myself as a little girl and be like, oh my God, it's going to be okay.
You're not going to end up, you know, indigent or on the street or become, you know, being, I was so scared when I was waiting tables that I would end up waiting tables for my whole life. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I wanted a different kind of life. And I was just like, oh God, if I'm, so I I'm so excited that I have this lease on life.
I'm so excited that I have so many women in my life to share this kind of birthday and milestone with. And I'm so excited at my energy level. Like I remember being young and thinking 50 was old. And now that was 40 years ago, you know, when your parents were 50 and you're like, ew. And now I'm like, it's true. You're more confident, you're sexier. I'm having the best sex of my life.
So I have all of these things that are happy around me and I'm happy. Like I'm the happiest I've ever been in my life. So there's a lot to look forward to ladies.
And does it not feel like as you age, you sort of even further embrace the idea of like, fuck it. Like it just, it's sort of like, like in terms of aging and the way that people always want to put like this stigma on that you're getting older, especially as women. And then you just sort of like, you said you're having the best sex of your life. Is it not just like a, like, yeah, fuck it.
I can have the best sex in my life at 50.
There's a definite fuck it attitude for sure. I mean, I think I was born with a fuck it attitude. That kind of never escaped me. But I did go through a period of insecurity and like destabilization in my 40s where I didn't feel as positive and confident as I did. And then I did the work necessary to kind of power through that, which is therapy, which is reading a ton.
Which you talk about a lot in your

Chapter 5: How did Chelsea's first book impact young women?
And I didn't realize the power in being truthful about things that most people were shying away from. When I went around and pitched that book, My Horizontal Life, no American publishing company would publish it. English company, Bloomsbury, bought the rights to it. And then they sold it in like 67 countries. And so I had all this success and eventually it became a New York Times bestseller.
But I had all of this success internationally. Like America was like so sanctimonious, like a girl talking about one night stands. I'm like, half of them didn't even come to be one night stands. I would like skedaddle before, you know, once I saw somebody's penis or something, I'd be like, oh, I got to get out of here. I got to find my Invisalign or something.
I once told a guy I had my Invisalign in my car and like left him in his underwear and said, I'll be right back. He's like, you have to get it now. I'm like, yes, yes. Especially if we're going to do what you think we're going to do. Yeah. If we're going to get intimate, I want Invisalign. So I never set out to do that.
No, but I definitely feel I have felt the love over the years from so many women and about being open and about saying the thing that we're told we're not supposed to say. And I don't think there is any shame at all in women being open about their sexual experiences. Yes, do you need to get graphic? I don't know, that's your choice, but we have the choice. And so the choice is up to you.
You know, you can do whatever you want and you can have success. And I think being authentic, I think it's a perfect lesson to demonstrate how authenticity yields success, because you're not going to argue with someone who's really being themselves. You can choose not to like it, but you can't argue with it.
So I love that I did that when nobody really wanted to do that and everyone thought it was kind of ick. I was like, no, no, no, this is good. Right. It settled it. It was it hit. It was very good.
Actually, I have to say something about Thunder because I do a residency in Vegas and I at the Cosmopolitan Hotel and they wanted to they wanted some of the guys from Thunder Down Under to walk me out on stage on the first night. And I was like, can I see their pictures? because I was like, I've actually slept with one of those guys and I want to make sure it's not him.
So luckily it wasn't, but that was a concern. And that was just recently. I'm like, is he still fucking working there? My God, he must be like almost 50.
Anyway, now your new book, I'll Have What She's Having. I loved it. I had sticky noted it. I was deep in it. My favorite chapter was the letter to your nieces and nephews. Yeah. because in raising children right now was one of those things where I was reading your bullet points of like, hey, get your shit together, pick up after yourself.

Chapter 6: What is Chelsea's advice to her nieces and nephews?
I don't have the personality for that.
There's no questions then. You're not, there's no confusion. It is what it is. Like this is what I'm asking of you and then you do it. Yeah. I like that better. Yes, absolutely. Yeah. I'm back and interrupting your regularly scheduled programming to talk to you about more exciting programming my family loves. Peppa Pig.
Like I mentioned, pig changes are coming for Peppa Pig and family now that it's been revealed Mummy Pig is pregnant and due in June. And now that you know Mummy Pig is pregnant, I'm sure you can't help but wonder, is Peppa going to be meeting a new little brother or a little sister? I always can tell right away, but Mummy Pig did not share that with us, so we'll have to wait and see.
You won't have to wait too long to find out because Walmart will be exclusively revealing the gender on April 25th at 9 a.m. Eastern Time in the U.S. All new baby toys will be available only at Walmart on June 1st and nationwide in August. In the meantime, Walmart is a great place to shop for all things Peppa Pig. Your essays make it clear that you've always known you were going to be successful.
One of the stories that you've told, not only in interviews but in the book, is when you walked past first class. And then you promptly fixed it and ended up in a first class seat on one of your later flights. What would you consider was your actual like first big break?
Um, I was on a show called girls behaving badly. So that was kind of a break. I mean, it wasn't like big money, but it was I was on TV and I was on a show that was fun. And it was four other girls with me and we laughed a lot. And we had a great time and I was being paid to be funny. So I loved that. And then after that, uh,
I think I had had a couple of development deals where they give you like $100,000 and they're gonna develop a TV show. And so I got a couple of those deals, but that wasn't like a huge break. That was like potentially could be something and then potentially falls apart. And then I think Chelsea lately came around right after, Girls Behaving Badly led to, then I did My Horizontal Life.
And then I did a show called The Chelsea Handler Show on E! That was only one season. And they said, we love you. This show isn't working. We'd we'd like to put you on a late night show. So Chelsea Lately and then my second book kind of came out at the same time. And then that became the big thing. That became when people started to know who I was.
And Chelsea Lately, I will say this just because I have to. There's never been a dog that I've seen that I wanted to pet more than Chunk.
