4:35 um say it. There was who almost showed her. Also funny when I almost had to We won't tell you who, but when I almost had to punch.

4:46 Yeah, I forgot about that. That was not good. You didn't even touch my Oh, what NGL guest are you the most shocked agreed to sit down with, Kylie?

5:52 We're just going to make her walk away with these. Mhm. Well, it's staying humble. Kylie,

5:57 is that right? Yeah, we have to do that. [ __ ] That's why I love you. What if anything has ch has changed about Kylie since she became Emma wrote LOL on this. So, I just want to be clear. It says LOL, a total celeb. This was not my words. I would not call myself that. I wouldn't even call myself a Z-lister. I'm good. What is the answer to the question?

6:29 What about you has changed? Nothing. If anything, I'd say nothing. Um, I think your like accessibility, like just you're busier.

6:40 Oh, yeah. Um, and I have to be more careful just like showing up at your house. Like,

6:48 you think security is going to take you out? Well, sometimes, like, remember when Wyatt was like, "There's somebody at the window." And you're like, "Don't make eye contact." She's like, "No, I think it's Amber Burke. And you were like,

7:01 "That's true. Our kids our kids are trained now. Like when someone knocks on the door, they all do what we were trained to do when we were growing up, which is

7:10 slink down. Slink down." I would like the record to show that Gab said nothing.

7:16 Off the accessibility. It's like being friends with Where in the World is Carmen? San Diego or remember that game? Yes.

7:22 Cuz I'll be scrolling on Twitter and it's like, "Oh, she's in the Aratours tent with Tom Cruz. She met the royal family. It's just like, okay.

7:32 I do love those texts when it's typically like, hey, Kai, anything you want to tell us?

7:41 I'm like, uh, I don't know, not today. You're like, where the [ __ ] are you? And I'm like,

7:48 Milan. Yeah, I don't know. Oh [ __ ] I'm crushing it right now. I'd like that to be known.

8:07 Oh, the bottom of this says, "It's getting sincere in here." Uhoh. Oh, no. What makes Kylie such a great friend? I'm not I don't even answer a [ __ ] text.

8:20 That can be the answer. You can say what she said. Um, I think it's that you genuinely care like like to invest time in your friends and like genuinely care about like what does go on in our lives whether it's like minuscule or big.

8:39 Yeah. Like like just a normal normal friend. Yeah. You're just always someone that you can go to and talk to and you know no matter what it is there's no judgment, anything like that and there's a sincere sometimes abrasive response.

8:58 Gab likes to use that word against me because I've been called abrasive once or twice in my life. Um, do we just rapid fire some of these questions now? Love it. Rapid fire.

9:06 Okay. What is something maybe only Kylie's close friends know about her? Um, have you talked about your Transformers obsession?

9:17 Nope. Oh, thank you for bringing that. You had the uh Optimus Prime voice changing mask.

9:25 Yep. And that was the only tattoo you've ever wanted. Uh-huh. It is. These are all facts.

9:35 Describe Kylie's dorm room as honestly as possible. Oh my god. Like a disaster.

9:41 Yeah. You had a sofa bed so you and Jason could be comfortable. Yeah, but remember like it was like messy.

9:50 It was just moving the piles of Yes. Crap. I live my life in piles. Yes. Yeah, I do. I

9:57 I mean, look at my house now. I live my life in piles. Yes. To be fair, my ADHD allows me to compartmentalize and decide which pile is it's in and how far down it is. And I've been that way my whole life. So,

10:10 Yep. Yeah. Not wavering on that one. That tracks memory from college. You won't let each other live down. Gh.

10:19 I do think there's something special about we could recall I would say the vast majority of the crazy [ __ ] that happened in college. And by crazy [ __ ] I just mean like the everyday [ __ ] we were doing in college. And I I don't think it's any crazier or less crazy than other college experiences. We could very easily be like fairly even for just like like either ridiculous stories or things we're like, "Hey, maybe let's let's not tell our kids about him."

10:50 And there's like AB said, no judgment whatsoever. Yeah. Yeah. We'll tell the girls later on.

10:57 Yeah, that's fine. I'll probably tell them too. What is something you're shocked Kylie actually said on this podcast? They wouldn't know. They don't watch the podcast.

11:11 I watch, but I'm not shocked by anything that you've said. Yep. Cuz you're always a little unfiltered.

11:17 A little. That was very nice. You said a little. Yeah. Wow. Mhm. Do you watch? Yeah. But I I wouldn't say shocked that you actually said. I would say maybe sometimes I'm shocked with things that you don't say. like like I'll be shocked like you took a gentle approach on that one. Like

11:40 because I've said what I needed to say in the group chat. Yeah, that's fair. Yeah.

11:48 Yeah. And like sometimes it's weird when you like tell a story like the one story. Remember when Jason was on like SNL?

11:56 Yes. Um I don't know. I think you told it on the podcast. Um, but you were like telling the story about like that time that happened and I'm like, "Oh, yeah. I remember those texts." Like,

12:08 "Yeah, I was murdered." Did you honestly think Jason was the one when they first started dating?

12:18 Did I think that about him? No, probably not. Not right away. He fell asleep on the table.

12:26 Oh, okay. So, not after the first not after the first time meeting him, right? I think after the bear incident, I was like, "All right, there's a chance."

12:38 Um, so Jason is still in my phone as Grizzly for those who don't know. Legitimately, his contact in my phone. We can pull this up. Uh, here we go. Don't take his phone number, though. Uh, my husband is in my phone as Grizzly because we, Amber, and I had a radio show at school that we called him the bear in the woods, which I'm still not sure how we ended up with that

13:10 cuz he looked like one. I don't know. But in the woods was a tree. It feels a little redundant,

13:18 right? Um, no. Squirrel. Squirrel and tree was Yeah. What was ours? Turn up Tuesday.

13:27 It was turnup Tuesday. Gosh. Yeah. What a time. What time to be alive? That's when you thought.

13:35 No, I was saying she's talking about different time Valentine's Day bear and he sent it to your house.

13:42 Oh, talk about a full panic. That was fun. Wow. Cuz your your mom got it and just put in your room.

13:49 Yes. And didn't say anything. didn't say a word. And then you text us and you were like, "OMG." And we were like, "Yeah, she knows. She definitely saw that and definitely read it and and

13:58 now she knows." And Lisa is smart enough. She actually searched the phone number. So she was like, "What are you doing talking to someone in Ohio?"

14:06 Mhm. They didn't know though for like two more months. I know. We We did a good job.

14:11 It was It was a while. But I feel like that was like a bold move. Like I was like "Okay like

14:16 you know, maybe he's here for he's here for it." Yeah. So maybe after that I was like, "All right."

14:24 Yeah. I think I think the assumption at the beginning was that it was all fun and games.

14:29 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And by that I mean we were just having fun. Yeah. For sure.

14:34 And then then all of a sudden then all of a sudden I was like, "Ah, shoot. We're hanging out like two three days a week. Sometimes two days in a row."

14:45 Yeah. Once you hit that in a row. Yeah. in a row was the big that was like the threshold where I was like, "Ah, shoot.
