Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Must-Have Philly Food, Off-Limits Jokes & Dating Your Spouse with LeeAnn Kreischer | Ep. 18
Thu, 10 Apr 2025
Kylie’s back for a brand new episode of Not Gonna Lie presented by Lovevery! She may currently be on maternity leave, but Kylie couldn’t leave the Real Ones hanging, so she taped a special episode for you to enjoy while she’s navigating the early days of being a mother of four… which very likely includes lots of outfit changes and very little sleep (1:02). Kylie kicks off the episode by answering a few questions in her “Ask Me *Some* Things” segment because “Ask Me Anything” needed some boundaries. Kylie shares what it was really like interviewing former First Lady Michelle Obama (3:08) and also weighs in on whether or not she gets her older girls a gift when a new baby sister is born (5:40). After that, Kylie introduces the NGL-verse to quite possibly the most Philly food combination she knows of in Doomscroll of the Week (7:05). She also shares some of her and her sister’s weirdest eating habits and her favorite Philly delicacies apart from cheesesteaks (9:30). Then, Kylie is joined by COO, stand up comedy producer and fellow podcast host LeeAnn Kreischer to talk about their shared experience of having a famously shirtless husband (15:54). LeeAnn delves into how she feels about her husband Bert’s shirtless stand up specials and how she and Kylie would feel if their spouses ever got six pack abs. Since LeeAnn produced Bert Kreischer’s latest special “Lucky” (16:58) Kylie asks her how she feels about the southern accent Bert uses when he imitates her, if there’s ever been a joke LeeAnn asked him to cut and how their daughters feel about being the subject of his comedy (21:22). Also, Kylie asks LeeAnn about all her years as a Girl Scout Troop leader alongside her daughters and how that has not only helped their confidence but also hers as she steps into the role of COO of Berty Boy Productions (26:23). Lastly, Kylie asks LeeAnn to play a game of “Is It True?” where she asks her questions about her early relationship with Bert, including whether or not they met in a bowling alley, if he really made her a mixtape (35:15) and if it’s true that they always do a date night once a week (37:45). Make sure you tune into More Sh*t Monday on the Not Gonna Lie YouTube channel for more exclusive clips from Kylie’s longer conversation with LeeAnn! We’ll be back next Thursday with a brand new episode. . . .

Chapter 1: What are Kylie's thoughts on maternity leave and new beginnings?
Not gonna lie, in preparation for this episode, I was watching the new Burt Kreischer special, Lucky, on Netflix, and I had to finish watching it from the toilet so I didn't pee my pants. And that is on laughing too hard and being 39 weeks pregnant. Let's get this podcast started. Welcome back to Not Gonna Lie, a wave... I can't even say wave. I can't even fucking say wave. I can't even say wave.
Wave. Welcome back to Not Gonna Lie, a wave original brought to you by Love Every. I'm your host, Kylie Kelsey, Philly food scene hype woman, occasional clap backer, and I've officially started maternity leave. If you watched last week's postpartum episode or... Doomscrolled your social media platform of choice. You're probably aware. I had the baby. Speaking of, what do we end up naming her?
Is she another clone of Jason? And how much did she weigh? Because that could get dicey. I wonder if she dethroned Ellie. I hope not. I feel like as a middle child, you should at least be able to be the biggest. Have something. I ask because in the spirit of complete honesty, as always, this intro I'm currently taping is prerecorded. I'm actually 39 weeks pregnant at the time of this taping.
It's my belly. You can't even see it that way. Hold on, microphone. Do you see the turkey timer is out? You see that? That's your belly button when you're making a turkey on Thanksgiving and the little plastic timer pops up to say it's done. So get the fuck out. We're ready. I think.
But even though this is prerecorded, I can tell you a few things about what my life is very likely looking like right now. Probably not sleeping that much. Probably have to change my shirt a lot. If you know, you know. Now I might be on maternity leave, but I couldn't leave the real ones hanging. So we've got a great show for you guys.
You can tell I'm still pregnant because trying to stand up to show you my belly got me out of breath. Coming up on this special maternity leave episode, I doom-scrolled my way to one of the most Philly food combinations I've ever laid my eyes on, and I've got some thoughts.
Then you're going to hear my conversation with a friend of mine and another woman I have no business speaking to, comedy producer, mother, and host of the hit podcast, Wife of the Party, Leanne Kreischer. But before you hear that conversation, I figured I'd do a maternity leave edition to of ask me some things. Because ask me anything needed some boundaries.

Chapter 2: How did Kylie feel about interviewing Michelle Obama?
Because you couldn't control yourselves. From Tristan on TikTok, Kylie, you got Michelle? How do you keep your cool? My jaw would be an anvil on the floor. First of all, Tristan, the editing team behind Not Gonna Lie did me a solid. I had to wipe my upper lip sweat multiple times, multiple times. A lot of fans were shocked that we got Michelle Obama. Girls, same.
Guys, I still can't wrap my head around it. I fear that you guys think that I'm kidding when I emphasize that I have no business speaking to the people that I get to speak to. Sometimes I genuinely think I'm living in an alternate universe of like, is this happening? I was very nervous to speak to Mrs. Obama. I am... so incredibly grateful that she was able to come on.
I absolutely love how excited people were in the comments on things because it validated how hype I was about getting that opportunity. It's so much fun to get to do things that are full circle. And it's so cool to get to speak to people that you never thought in your entire lifetime that you would get to speak to. And it just keeps happening.
We just keep talking to people that I'm like, I don't know why you agreed to this, but I am so happy you did. So I just want to be clear. I was not cool. I had full pit sweat like I usually do when I interview people. because I like, what the fuck are we even doing? And, but for Michelle, it hit a new level because her Mrs. Obama, I did, I was rocking upper lip sweat. So cute.
It's just, it's a cute little thing that happened. Just me and my sweat stash. Next from Raina on YouTube. How do you and people feel about siblings getting a little gift or something when a new baby comes into the family? Thoughts? I know that I shared a very strong opinion about birthday gifts and making sure that only the birthday person receives birthday gifts on that day.
I stand by that, even though some of you strongly disagreed. That's okay. I can live with that. I do think that it's lovely to give siblings a gift when a new baby comes home. I think because mom specifically is going to be so tied up. And I think that it's okay to help them feel special. Yes, they are getting a sibling. And yes, that is exciting.
But everybody knows that for a four, a five, a four and a two year old, what's a newborn baby doing? Nothing. The answer is nothing. She will arrive. She will eat. She will poop. She will sleep. She will cry. That's it. I don't know. I feel like maybe something simple like new coloring books that they can do quietly at the table. Set yourself up for success with this gift.

Chapter 3: What is the most Philly food combination according to Kylie?
That does it for Ask Me Some Things. Next up, my TikTok algorithm just hit me with a ridiculous, but possibly the most Philly combination of foods I've seen in a while. Let's get into it in Doom Scroll of the Week. Queen Emma, can we show the real ones what I'm talking about? My man thinks this is weird. This is a water ice, and this is a pretzel. Oh, girl, say less.
That is a Philadelphia version of french fries and a milkshake, and I stand by that. I can honestly say that I do not do the dipping, but if you ask Big Ed McDevitt if you should have water ice with a soft pretzel, he will say every time. without fail. Um, he used to, if I'm not mistaken, dad, don't quote me on this.
He used to, when he was little as like a little entrepreneur move, he would go to his uncle's pretzel shop, get pretzels in his wagon and Go to the water ice store, get tubs of water ice, and then go down to the factories in Kensington and dish it up. But you're supposed to have soft pretzels with water ice. Everybody knows that. Sweet and salty, guys. Sweet and salty is what it is.
That's why this is the most Philly, because she just showed you the Philly version of french fries milkshake. I'm just letting you know. Queen Emma wants to know what the weirdest food combination I do is. That's a great question. I don't know that I have one. Hold on. This is going to be one of those like, you're going to put the clock on the screen. I have to have something.
I wish you had asked me what my sister's weird food combos are. There was a period of time where my sister... Emma just wrote into the rundown, what are your sister's weird food combos? I've always been a very standard food combination person. I would say maybe the weirdest one I do on a semi-regular basis is apples and cheese. But again, it's that sweet and salty. It's like your own cheese board.
Uh, my sister went through a phase where we thought she needed to be. This is so Aubrey. I'm so sorry. This is gonna, is this the episode where I out my sister? My sister likes to pretend like we're not related. My sister likes to pretend like we're not related. I think just so that she doesn't get dragged into getting asked for signed items from my husband, which like, dude, I get it.
I do not blame you. But... My sister, she went through a phase where my mom thought that she needed to be tested for vitamin deficiencies because of the weird shit she would eat. So her most common was that she would slice an avocado in half and put yellow mustard on it and eat it with a spoon. The other one that I found just one step...
too far was, uh, she would open up a can of red kidney beans, rinse them, and then pour balsamic vinegar on them. And again, eat it with a spoon. So, um, Yeah. Aub is good for a, an odd combo. It was not me off of weird combinations. Um, my favorite Philly specialty aside from a cheesesteak, we will regularly still go to stocks bakery for pound cake. If you don't know about stocks, you should.
Um, It's a Philadelphia, that might be my favorite Philadelphia specialty. We also used to go to Swiaki's for kielbasa. We should one day do a segment on the pronunciation of Philadelphia things because Swiaki's Polish meats is on Salmon Street. S-A-L-M-O-N as in the fish. But it is Salmon Street. It is one of the biggest arguments of our marriage.

Chapter 4: How do Kylie and LeeAnn feel about their husbands' shirtless antics?
And we both have often shirtless husbands who dragged us into this mess. Leanne Kreischer, welcome to Not Gonna Lie. Thank you. It's so nice to see you again. I'm so happy to have you. I can't thank you enough for joining me today. I've had the absolute pleasure of running into you two years in a row now at the Super Bowl party for the other podcast around here. It is a delight every single time.
This time I was hiding... in the back room. And I think I told you when I came out because someone came back and was like, oh, Leanne's here. And I was like, okay, I'll come out. Well, because I just, you know, pregnant in heels. I was like, I'm doing too much.
Yes. It was a lot. That's a big, it's a big fun parties. So I don't blame you, especially pregnant. I'd be like, I'll be on the stool in the corner.
Well, that's what I was doing. And then I was like, you know what? I always come out for that. And then I Irish goodbyed the shit out of that place. I Irish goodbyed so hard. Someone saw me go back and pick up my person when I was walking out. I was like, you saw nothing. And they were like, I saw nothing.
I just kept walking. I think we were on our way to an Irish goodbye, but Bert caught Jason at the door. So we got to say goodbye to him on the way out. Okay. Well, you half asked your Irish goodbye. We almost made it.
I almost made it. I mentioned in your intro, both of our husbands have been known to go shirtless. Your husband, Bert, definitely started this trend a long time ago. And to be clear, Jason has given him credit for
uh to him and then i think also on the podcast as well because he's just he wants to make it so clear that like this is burt's thing uh i think he felt a little guilty after the uh bills game when he was went shirtless in the suite and then sort of people were making the comparison jason was like no no i can't own this shtick this is burt's um What is it, though, really?
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.
That's what happens when people ask me about the flip flops. I'm like, I don't, it didn't, I didn't register. I don't, I don't know. It's just like him in his natural habitat. Same. In Bert's new standup special, Lucky, which you produced, he starts off by talking about how much weight he's lost. Yeah, I am on record saying that if Jason were to ever get a six pack, I would not be pleased.

Chapter 5: What does LeeAnn think about Bert's comedy and her portrayal?
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.
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.
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.
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.
I do think there's something to be said about, uh, like knowing in your own house, like what the truth is, right? Like knowing behind closed doors. I do not that it's like, I, I used to listen to sports radio when Jason was still playing and they would talk about all this speculation about like what's happening in the locker room, what's happening here, what's happening there.
And I would be like, Oh, we talked about that yesterday. You're wrong.
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.
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.

Chapter 6: How does LeeAnn manage her roles as a mother and COO?
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.
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.
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.
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.
Now, you're also the COO of yours and Bert's production company. I read a quote where you said, I had no idea how to be a COO. Girl Scout troop leader. Sure. But COO. First of all, how long were you a Girl Scout troop leader?
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.
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.
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.
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?

Chapter 7: What are the truths behind LeeAnn and Bert's early relationship stories?
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.
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.
Sure. I mean, ultimately, you're using basic leadership skills, right? Like knowing how to speak to each person, knowing how to effectively apply their strengths and weaknesses. And that's incredible. I think it's so... It is...
I mean, not that you need the props, but it's such a mom win to hear that you saw Isla struggling with dyslexia and decided that there were other ways that she could excel. And to be able to show her that and to be actively involved in helping her get there and see that, I think one of the best things we can do, especially for young girls, is to build their confidence.
And so to know that she was dealing with something that was not a choice... um and extremely difficult to navigate that you were able to flex into that space and say like this is how we can show you all of these other things that you can be amazing at it doesn't make you dumb or anything else that you that your brain works this way because
