Kylie & Regina Hall on Jason Mullet Confession, Wyatt’s Oscar-Worthy Eagles Scene & Scary Movie | Ep. 36
48m
Kylie Kelsey opens the episode with a candid, humorous reflection on family life during the fall, detailing how her four kids have turned simple activities like apple picking into full-family adventures, complete with a wagon and endless energy. She firmly rejects over-the-top fall trends, such as ice cream on desserts or spooky haunts, emphasizing the value of active, screen-free family time. The episode dives into the viral TikTok trend of the "girlfriend effect," where she jokes that her husband’s style has changed little—only evolving into more playful, like a bluey two-piece—though she admits he’s grown more confident in his fashion. She also shares a personal anecdote about her own petting a jumping spider, linking it to her preference for scruffy, unstructured animals. A major highlight is her reaction to being named to Sports Illustrated’s Power List, where she jokingly resists the label but acknowledges it validates her influence in women’s sports and parenting. The conversation shifts to her daughter’s dramatic, theatrical nature, which Kylie sees as a sign of artistic potential and emotional depth, and she offers parenting advice to nurture such expression while setting healthy boundaries. The episode features a guest appearance by Regina Hall, who shares excitement about her new film *One Battle After Another*, her love of rom-coms, and a memorable story where her director pitched the script during a casual yard chat. The show closes with a warm celebration of family milestones, including her children’s first days of school and the arrival of Peppa Pig’s new baby, Evie, with all associated toys now available on Amazon. Throughout, the tone remains playful, self-aware, and deeply rooted in authentic family life.
Not gonna lie, I'm not sure which is causing me to lose more hair, my hormones, or fin grabbing the little hairs back here and ripping them out with her tiny baby hands. Oh great, let's get this podcast started. Welcome back to Not Gonna Lie, a wave original brought to you by Peppa Pig, shop new Peppa Pig toys now on Amazon. I'm your host Kylie Kelsey, I love traveling, but not with my children. You all somehow convinced me to speak into a microphone each week, which is crazy. And I have a lot of strong opinions on extremely niche topics. For example, there's no such thing as flushable wipes. Seriously guys, you can say flushable wipes on the on the packaging, but the cast that a plumber removed from my parent's dream says otherwise. Coming up on today's episode, in honor of the first day, the season coming up, I'm gonna get real honest about Kelsey family fall. It's a lot like Kelsey family summer winter and spring, because we have four kids. We're trying our best, but all way in on all fall things. Plus, there's a trend on TikTok right now called the Girlfriend Effect, and I'm gonna share whether or not I had any influence on Jason's style in Doom Scroll the Week. And after that, I'm gonna be joined by the hilarious actress you know from Girl's Trip and Scary Movie. I have no business talking to her. It's Regina Hall, but first, a couple quick NGL announcements. First, on behalf of Queen M and the team, are bad about the spider photo last week with no warning. We got a couple comments like this. Aaron Smith said, "You just jump scared the shout out of me. I threw my iPad across the room. We forgot 99% of people don't actually find them cute." Next time editor Brad will put up a warning, like right now, warning hit it Brad, hit the warning, and now Lucas the spider. Nailed it. Also, speaking of spiders, there were a lot of comments like this one. Am I the only one that thought Kylie describing the jumping spider sounded a lot like how she described Jason? You should say that. Literally on the phone with Queen M, I made this exact joke about myself. When I started describing it as furry and I wanted to pet it. And yeah, I just, I think that I'm consistent. You can check my track record for favorite breeds of dogs. I like scruffy bearded beings. Next announcement, we might need a new segment. This Kylie has no business being on because I've officially been named to sports illustrated's power list. The 50 most influential figures in sports first starters. Thank you so much. That's so nice. I appreciate it. And also, what? I was, when I first heard about this, I was very concerned. I was very concerned because I thought that people were trying to put me into a category with elite athletes. And that was going to bother me deeply. But it turns out they just put me in the influencer category, being put in the influencer category. My body wants to reject it, but here's the deal. If I'm going to influence you about anything, it's going to be about philanthropic efforts. It's going to be about women in sports. It's going to be about how athletic shaped my life. It's going to be normalizing the ridiculousness of parenthood. And if that puts me on the power list of the most, the 50 most influential figures in sports. Okay. I still think there's probably a couple other people who are more deserving, but I do appreciate it. And also, just to be clear, the reason I'm concerned about being put on a list with elite athletes is because, guys, I play division three field hockey. I am a NARP now. For anyone that doesn't know what a NARP is, it's a non-aflatic regular person. The minute that I was done playing my senior season of field hockey, I became a NARP. So I have no business being on the same list with literally all 49 other people. Guys, cut it out. So to our friends in sports illustrating, thanks so much, I really appreciate it. I will say, it's a little, it's slightly validating because it means that you guys get it. The only reason that I got behind this microphone was to be able to talk about things that I feel strongly about. Athletics in sport is one of them. But I definitely don't think we hit 50 over here. So moving on, the first day of fall is coming. So even though I just told you guys, I'm not really a fall girly. That was for pumpkin spice. I figured I'd get honest about some of the fall shit our family is in on. This is where my basic fish comes in. I love apple picking. I love it. I'm going to do it. And you know what we're going to do after we fill up our boxes and buckets. We're going straight to the pumpkin patch. I, you know what? There is something about a caramel apple from the little market shop. After you've gone out and picked a bunch of apples fresh from the trees. Also, the kids love it. They love it so much. And we've leveled up to a point that we now bring a wagon for anyone who maybe isn't feeling into it. Because we have four children. And anyone that has, I mean, even if you have one child, you know that you could do an activity. And they are so into it. And the next time you go to do the activity, they're not into it. But when you've driven 45 minutes to an hour to go to this apple orchard, your ass is picking apples. Whether they're throwing a temper tantrum or not. So we've leveled up. We now bring a wagon for anyone who is not into the activity. Last time it was Benny within. I would say 15 to 20 minutes into the activity. She got out of the wagon started picking apples herself. It's so fulfilling to do something that's so simple. And yet you do it. There's no screens involved. No one's asking to turn on a movie. You're out in the fresh air. Everyone's walking. That's great for tired amount. And. And. We have had all of our announcements. Besides Finney's announcement at the apple orchard, because we kept saying that we were adding another apple to our orchard. I think is what we said. I don't actually know what I post guys. I don't post often enough. And I'm not that invested in it. So. Take that influencer. Wait, how did you know I was a caramel apple girl? I just called down to that. Queen, I'm a reason I mind on a regular ass basis. I love an apple cider donut. Okay. I don't need apple cider. I don't need it. I don't want it straight up. I do want it in tone up form. That shit is. Fire. Any other fall treats. I like an apple Dutch crumb over a traditional apple pie. It's way better. If you disagree with me. You're wrong. That seemed aggressive. Also, not in all a mode, girly. Don't put. Do not put a scoop of ice cream on my shit. Do not put a scoop of ice cream on. There's a hot take. Don't you put a mother fucking scoop of ice cream. Don't put a fucking scoop up. It makes me so mad. If I wanted. Cream. Sweet cream poured over top of my dessert. I do that. Why are you going to get a scoop of warm apple crisp? And then. Put a cold. Scuba ice cream on top. What are you doing? Stop doing everything all a mode. Oh my gosh. If. It's. Don't give me started on when you do it to a goddamn brownie. Okay. Do we take the family on a hay ride? No. They don't actually like it that much. When it comes to haunted hay rides. You can kiss my ass. Uh, anything spooky. Anything remotely scary. Why it is going to lose her effing mind. And then. She's going to wake me up at least four nights in a row. Why it is not spooky girly. She wants to talk about Halloween because she's convinced that her October second birthday kicks off Halloween. She's not really wrong. But she does not like spooky things. So for instance, my mom was showing her lawn decorations for Halloween to get the temperature check on whether or not why it would still come to her house. If my mom put these things on her lawn. So. Spoiler alert. It was pretty much everything was a no. a giant spider with glowing eyes and why it. "Looked my mom in the face and was like, "why would you show me that?" Was I a spooky girlie? No. Like we went on a haunted hay ride when I was in college with my field hockey team and I specifically remember, people could like grab your ankles while you were on the hay ride. Like they would pop out of the woods and grab your ankles. No. 'Cause I might, I might, you know? Next, it's time to get into what I've been doom scrolling late at night this week. First up on doom scroll, there's new trend on TikTok right now of women in relationships posting their partners glow up. It's basically them when they first started dating and then what they have matured into, otherwise known as the girlfriend effect. Queen Emma hit it. It says, "I heard we were posting our husband's glow up." Oh, he's cool now. He has little tiny sunglasses. I think that these TikToks are hilarious. I think that it is lovely to shed a positive light on people in relationships. And I like that it's girlfriend's basically showing off their boyfriend's to be like, "Hey, I saw the potential." Queen Emma would like to know if I would say that Jason's fashion sense or look changed at all when we first started dating. No, nope. He had long hair when we first started dating. He had the man bun. He chose to cut it on his own. A bunch of people thought that he cut it because of me. And he did not. He actually cut it because he couldn't comfortably put his head back on the sofa. I'll tell you what, he looked very good with a man bun. You can look it up. There's plenty of evidence. He looked great with a man bun, but I do love a fade. And he looked damn good with a fade. I will say the one which we were already married, the one haircut, he knows that I just wanted to, I almost, I just came very close shaving his head and his sleep. Full transparency was the mullet. It's just, I swear he did it to fuck with me. And the part, this is the trust tree here. We're in the trust tree. Don't anybody tell him, I'm serious, don't tell him. He kind of made it look good. Don't tell him I said that, don't tell him I said that 'cause I'm still on the, he kind of made it look good. And that made me so, that made me more mad. And I do feel like Jason has progressed in his style in a way that he's gotten a little funky with it. The bluey two piece was a great, I mean, I wouldn't have, I wouldn't have even thought to go there. But he bought that. He had like a daffy duck shirt for the kids. But then like, it's such a skill to be able to make a bluey two piece. Right, a shorts, short sleeve collar button up shirt and matching shorts to be able to make that a thirst trap. You kidding? The Eagles did post the evolution of my husband's hair. So we could take a look at that. Oh, he looks like a little baby. He looks so young there. Okay, let's see. Oh, not man. This, I'm pretty sure he has the undercut that goes into the man bun. There's the man bun. Guys, try and tell me, no, I don't need you to try and tell me that that doesn't look good 'cause I know that looks good and it doesn't matter what you say. God damn, look at how cute, look at his little smile. You say what I'm saying about that fucking mullet? I swear to God, if any of you tell him, he just, God damn. That's where it went off the rails, right there. That's good, the one where he has the aviator glasses on. Yeah, I hear. Don't tell him, I swear to God, if you guys tell him, I'm so mad. Oh, God, the fucking bleach hair. I forgot that. I think I blacked that out. And the salt and pepper sides, they're back. They're back since he died his hair. And aging like fine fucking wine. Okay, this is just like a, is this like someone turn a fan on? That's it for Doom Scroll the Week. Regina Hall is coming up. But first, I gotta talk about one of my kids favorites. Peppa Pig. We're in the midst of a lot of firsts right now as a family. Why it just had her first day of kindergarten. Ellie had her first day of pre-K. Finn just watched her first Eagles game. So thank goodness that was a win. Can't have your child being bad luck. I still feel like I'm chasing it. But it's not just my family celebrating milestones. Mommy Pig, Daddy Pig, and the whole Peppa family just welcomed their new baby Eevee. And now you can shop her adorable toys right on Amazon. And speaking of celebrating, George's countdown calendar is the perfect way to build excitement for your next big moment, available only at Amazon. Look at how cute it is. And first of all, look at how stinking cute this little skateboard is. Look at how cute that is. It would be a little bit of a battle to try and make sure that the toys stay in there until you're supposed to open them. We found that out last year with Advent calendars on Christmas. But I will tell you that especially the way this is arranged, the girls are at an age where they love finding numbers. And so because it's not in order, this is also a great activity for that. Make the days leading up to an exciting event, extra fun with George's party countdown, a Peppa Pig themed countdown calendar with 24 surprise toys and stickers and is available only on Amazon. You know her from her hit movies like Girls Trip, Think Like A Man, and My Personal Favorite Scary Movie. She's starring in the brand new film everybody's talking about one battle after another out September 26th. And now she's officially not gonna lie. Regina Hall, welcome to the show. Thank you for having me. I'm excited to be here. Just to gear up for this today, watch Think Like A Man Last Night. I don't get a lot of time. I have four little ones. So I don't get a lot of time where I get to enjoy what I call adult movies, grown up movies. But it just, it was as good as the last time I just love. It was so good. The other one, scary, all of them, the scary movie franchise. Now there's another one. - I'm so excited. I can't wait to tell my dad that because for our show prep, we were talking about it and I was like, I can't wait to call my dad. Because he and I used to watch them together and he would cry laughing, like cry laughing. One of my personal favorites was when you get in a fist fight with the girl from the ring. - Yeah. - Yeah, the skeleton. - It's so good. - Oh no, that's when she comes out of the TV. - She comes out of the TV, right. - And she's so calm, yes. - Yes, oh god, it was, I really, I love those movies. Now like you said, scary movie six has officially been announced. Was it an immediate yes for you to come back to do another one? - I mean, I think, I mean, I certainly was excited when I found out, you know, it was everyone, you know, from the original. So I was just kind of excited to see what they were going to write. It's a different time, you know what I mean? And how far can we push the envelope? - And what are you allowed to tell me about it? - Nothing. - Not much. - No, no, no, no, no, no, I'll take it. - I'm in D8 all over. But I love that. - I love that. - We start shooting soon and it'll, you know, it comes out in June. So it's not a long wait. - That's enough. I can live with that amount of information. That's hope. That's what that is. Now, is there a horror movie that you, well, we'll leave it alone. I was gonna say, is there one that you think gets spoofed? But if you have read the script, then you can't, you can't leave us. - We can have Brad bleep it. I'm kidding. I'm not gonna do it. (laughing) Now, I'd love to talk to you about the real main event here, which is your brand new movie. One battle after another, which officially comes out next week on September 26th. What's it been like? What's the level of excitement around this movie? I feel like I have heard so much rumble about it. - Yeah. It's exciting. I mean, first of all, you know, I'm a huge PCA fan. So I love all of his work. And it's great to see him be able to do this on a different scale than his other movies. It's not, they're all amazing, but he got an opportunity to do a different scale of film. And I think also there's something to be said about a movie that has a lot that you don't know. You know, you watch the trailer and this is a component of the story, but there's so many other elements and it's always good to laugh. - Now, I read that your next door neighbors with the director.
And he told you about the script when you guys were gardening? - No, out in the yard? - I know, the article was written quite lofty. It wasn't, it wasn't perfect. - The truth is, my yard was a mess. I was renovating, it was quite tough. Paul was like, "I wanna talk to you." He just walked over and I thought he wanted to see my yard because he was gonna do something in his. So I immediately was like, "Hey, come in." And I was like, "So look, you can see this here. I think I wanna put this here. This is gonna have a little fire pit." So I was honestly just talking about the yard and he was very, Paul's very patient. He said, "That's great, that's great. Could we talk inside for a second?" I'm like, "Okay." So I sat down, I was looking at hot mess, which he sees that constantly. The truth is, I'm more unrecognizable to him. This week than I ever have been 'cause he sees me at home and sweats and whatever. And then inside is where he actually said, "So I have this movie." And that's when I found that. - Perfect, so he came over with a different intention. You were like, "Hey, neighbor, look at this yard. Don't you wanna do renovations?" - Yeah, well, he was gonna be doing something in his yard. And I was like, "But look what I'm doing." - Sure. - So I guess, I thought his intentions were to come. I think I had been talking about my yard before and my renovate and I think I thought, "Oh, he's gonna come see these." - I don't know why. - That was nice of him to entertain the tour. - Didn't rush me at all. Didn't rush me at all. When I was sitting there saying, "I wanna plant some stuff here." Didn't rush me at all. - That's amazing. - That's, I love that. - Now, you of course, star alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in this movie. - I was just talking to Wanda Sykes last week. - I love Wanda. - Well, I was talking to her about who she was most star struck by in her career. And she said, "George Clooney." And I feel like Leo is sort of in that same department. But was there anyone throughout your career that you have been most star struck by? - I mean, I thought Wanda was gonna say me in her. So I'm not gonna say her. She did give you a shout out about the Oscars, co-hosting the Oscars. She said she had sort of one of those moments where it was like, this is crazy that I get to be up here with these amazing women doing this. - Yeah, so. - No, yeah, no, we had, that was a blast. My most recent was when I saw Brad Pitt, but I didn't speak because I was, I got shy. So I didn't, I didn't say hi. (laughing) - That's amazing. Now you guys are doing another girls trip. That is surprisingly fulfilling. I love that you guys are hitting us with a sequel to that. Once again, I have to ask, what can you tell me about it? - I have to tell you, I don't know. This one I'm not even- - Love it. - From you, I don't know. I am supposed to find out. I think we're about to get our draft, you know. I know they've been working on it. - Perfect. They knew that you were coming here and that I was gonna try and drill you. - Yeah, I know. - And they were like, we're gonna set you up with nothing so that she can get nothing. - They did, I think so. - That's fine, I'll take it. I will, I will be on the edge of my seat. Again, waiting. - I'll be on the edge of mine. I'm like, where are we going? You know, I'm just, I'm just along for the ride. I'm kind of excited to see like, where are we doing? Are we in trouble? Do you have your girls trip? Do you have your own Flassy Passy? - I, Queen Emma, my producer and I were just talking about this. I am currently in the phase of life where we have not gotten out into a girls trip, but I absolutely have my friends who like, the minute we are all like, all of our children can be left for an extended period of time. Goodbye. - And who are you? - Who are you in that, which one? Which, which girl? - That's a great question. - I know. - I mean, I'm called mom. So the, I just, I have to be. - You're Jada. - The response, yeah, I'm responsible than that same like nurturing, yeah, definitely Jada. - Well, thank God, you couldn't be Tiffany. We, then I. - Oh, no, I, the, I mean the, still the clip where like at the beginning of the movie where she walks out and she's like, it's Climidia, I'm like, this is, this is, I like, like gasp the first time I saw it. And then just, I mean, the fact that it's like, it's curable, like it's outstanding. - Oh yeah. - Grout standing. - It's always so good. - You can find that silver lining if you just, that's it. Look at the positives. - Yeah. - But I do love, like that, that's the beauty of the Girl's Trip movie is that it is transferable to, we all have that friend. And even if it's not four of you, and it's three of you or six of you, you, you have those same personalities across. Like, I could absolutely tell you exactly which one of my friends would have been walking out like, it's curable, and that's, that's why it hit home. Like that's why, that's why I'm on the Edge of My Seapress sequel. - Yes. - I know, no, I really am too, I'm excited. I mean, I love the Girl, so I'm excited to be able to go and, whoo, make some, have some crazy times and do some, you know. - Re-cabric. - Yeah, Re-cabric. - Re-cabric. - That's awesome. - I've been in some great rom-coms, and the real ones know I love a rom-com. - I love a rom-com, what's your favorite? Give me, give me your top three. I love how to lose a guy in 10 days. - That's a really good one. - I don't, I don't even know that I could like top three it. I always have like, it's usually the most recent ones I've, I've watched. - Like, what are, okay, and what are, what's your favorite one that you've watched recently? 'Cause if I haven't, I just, maybe I'll go see it. Although you probably have watched a cartoon love story or a rom-com. - That's honestly, I'm telling you, that's why last night I was like, I'm gonna take the time to watch, think like, I straight up was like, I need to, I need to click my brain into grown-up movies. - Yeah, and also, you don't have like that much time because you still have your husband, you have your children, your work. - Yes. - I've like family and then like friends, so. - That doesn't leave a ton of time to watch more. - No, it doesn't, what's your favorite if maybe I can put it on my list? - Yeah. Well, of all time, I mean, I love Nora Efron, so I go back, I mean, I do love Pretty Woman 'cause it's like, God, it's so good. - So good, I mean. - That would be top three for me. That would be top three of all time. - Yeah, and then I love a little, well, I love, I love one here in Met Sally and Sleepless in Seattle. - I mean, in terms of quintessential classics, that's what I mean. - The show has been like, where you can watch them to get. - He does. - That's like a date night almost at home. - He is, he is very critical of them though. We are on record of like, specifically love actually, the Christmas movie. - Oh, love, love actually. - He shits all over it. He fucking hates that movie. - Does he really? - He thinks that it's not, 'cause he thinks it's not a holiday movie. He thinks that the holiday of it is just in the background. He's like, all these people, this is so messed up. This is not Jolly at all. And I'm like, I didn't get what you're saying, but it's also real life and entertaining. - Yes. - No, but he loves a romcom. He used to love the Vince Vaughn romcoms. - Oh yeah. - He was bit, that was his gateway. - I love Vince Vaughn, and I loved it. - Jennifer Anderson. - Breakup, was it the breakup? - Yes, I think so. - That was one that he would name consistently as if he needed to watch a romcom, that's the one he was going for. - You know, this isn't a romcom, but Silver Lining's playbook had a bit of like romcom, no, no, let's take it back. It's not a romcom at all. - It's an element, sprinkle. - Yes, that leads me right into my next question. Are you a sports fan? This is an interesting question. This is a very good, interesting question. So I have a friend who is a sports fan, right? One of my best friends. And so if you ask me in my sports fan in comparison to her, no, do I watch every game? Do I watch the big games? Absolutely, or the big matches. I do love boxing. - Okay. - You could teach me a couple of things. - Yes, I love boxing, but I don't. I tend to only be attracted to men who like sports. And as much as maybe 'cause I grow with brothers. So as annoying as it might be for me to be like, you're watching another game, you know, whatever. - Yes. - It would be add to me if they don't. - That's a very interesting take. - It's like a quandary. - I have never, I don't know that I've ever been interested in a guy that didn't watch sports. - I know. - Now that you mentioned that, I didn't even think to think. - I have a friend who, you know, she's the opposite. So when I thought about it, I was like, no, it's not, but I'm so used to them playing in the background or being, you know, there or being talked about. So it is just, I don't think that was, I don't, I'm gonna speak for you. It was certainly not a conscious decision, but that's-- - No, that's,
That's really, I've never thought about that. I, that is so interesting. Now, do you like when they, like were athletic themselves or are still like an active person? - I mean, that's always nice, but there's something about, I don't, because it usually comes with it, you know what I mean, if they do. - I would think so. - They would, right? - Maybe that's why I've never thought about it. - Yeah, I, yes, maybe that, I think, trust. - Now, I did play soccer when I was young and like junior high school, but I was awful. And you played, I was awful. - Field hockey. - Yes, you played field hockey, which my assistant was like, oh, is that, and I was like, no field hockey, 'cause we had a field hockey team, am I? - Did you? - Yeah, we did. - Where did you grow up? - In DC. - Perfect. The East Coast, specifically the Northeast, is like a hotbed for hockey. And when I met my husband from Cleveland, Ohio, he was like, what kind of stick is that? We are not as well known as. Like soccer is a great one, 'cause everyone starts with soccer. Like if you're playing as team sports, everyone starts with soccer. But you're saying you were not a good soccer player, would other people have said that? - Well, I would say my entire team, we were on. I only think they would say it because we never scored. - Sure. - It's important that we never scored. I think we scored one goal, but we never won. Oh no, we didn't score a goal. We only lost by one because they scored a goal. - Sure. - So I don't-- - Important scoring goals in trying to win. - It is. - It'll getcha. - It'll getcha. - Now, your friend who is a sports fan, has she helped you pick a team? Like do you have an NFL team? 'Cause I'm ready to rally for the birds. That's all I'm doing. - You know what? I'm gonna, I'm gonna, because I'm from Washington, I'm gonna say the commanders. - Commanders. - Because that is who my family always roots for. - That's fair. The real ones know we're all about Peppa Pig in our house. And they also know I got to help out with Mommy Pig's big pregnancy announcement earlier this year. The girls actually ask for it before we go up to shower and do bed time. Because they're so fascinated the fact that I know Mommy Pig and that we chatted that blew their mind. Well, now Mommy Pig has officially welcomed the new baby Evie to the family. And all her toys are also officially available on Amazon. We have a bunch of these in our house, including Peppa's big family car. My girls also love a playhouse. And now there's Peppa's big family house, which comes with figures of Peppa, George, and baby Evie. Peppa and George have separate bedrooms for the first time. Our girls don't, so maybe we shouldn't tell them that, but they can, maybe they won't even notice. Once again, all the real ones can shop new Peppa Pig toys now at Amazon. Now, I would love to do a segment with you called Coach Mia. - Okay. - Because you are an absolute master of your craft. I have four daughters. And so the chance is that one of them might get involved in the arts, maybe acting. - Yeah, they're high. - It's good. - Yeah. - Can you tell, can you see it now? - For sure, I say our oldest, her name is Wyatt. I tell people that if she doesn't win an Oscar, I want my money back because homegirl is dramatic. - Okay. - And I mean that in a complimentary way. She is, everything is like a little bit extra. She wants to stand on the table in the playroom and she wants to put on a show. She will say, keep watching, keep watching. - It's in her being. - It is. And I'm very proud of her for living her truth. What tips would you give me as a parent to help foster that? I need you to coach me up on that. - I think you're doing it. Whenever you don't, you know, you have to, you have to, you gotta watch her and engage. When she's like performing, that's literally coming from her soul. She's not even trying. So you gotta applaud her and be her audience so that she can feel really comfortable. Now, when you say she's dramatic, give me some samples. - I mean, everything is, it depends. Her delivery is very, she has a lot of this. Sometimes it's-- - And her body, that's the way you've, I love that. - Sometimes. - Her bodies are instrument. She's gotta use it all. - That is a very positive way to look at it. Because sometimes I've recently told her, your head is going to bobble off of your neck. Because every so often she will start talking to me and it's all this. And I'm like, girl, you better calm your chin down. - Right, right, right. - Because you're not sending that to mom. I'm gonna need you to send that somewhere else. - And I also respect that because what she can do is she can reserve that for the proc, for the stage. - That's what, that is what I mean. How do I do that? - How do I hate? First of all, lip it in the bud. 'Cause you're not gonna give me that much attitude. - Then what my mom did, my mom used to say, there's one woman in this house now. Well, you can say, perfect. - You can say, down a notch. And then, I reserve it for the stage. - That's perfect. I like the reserving it for the stage because right now my question is, who are you talking to? - Yes. - Yes. - Which is another version of reserving it for the stage. 'Cause it's not for me. So it must be for a different audience, right? It's not for one. - Yes. See that, that might be the way to turn it. - Yes. - That I'm happy to be your audience. - Right. - But I'm gonna need you to dial that back. - Yes. - I'm gonna need you to channel it. - It's good too. I'll tell you why that's good. Because I feel like expression is incredibly important. I feel like boundaries are incredibly important. And that doesn't mean that you limit it, but you certainly, you direct it. - Sure. - And so, when you take that and you allow her to channel all that emotion and expression positively, well, you're creating an outlet, you're allowing her to perform, but then you're also teaching her respect when you're like, I'm mommy. - Yes. - And must be treated as such. - Now, there was, I will tell you, in one of the things that she has done before and we may have to clip this 'cause we've avoided the story multiple times. - Right. - But, yeah, right, right. Now, I've heard that you enjoy a curse word. So much so that you have said that you've been cursing since you were six, is that right? - Yeah. - I've been, yes, the expletives have been a part of my vocabulary. - Every day vernacular, love that. We're a long time, but not in front of my mother, only to my siblings. And then in front of my parents, you know, my dad, they didn't, but my siblings, my brothers, and then they would tell, and then I would, of course, deny it. - Sure. I still don't say the F word in front of my dad. I'm 33 years old. - Never cursed in front of my parents. - Never did. - I, but never cursed in front of them. - I, I can't, I won't do it. - No. - If I do it, I, it's like, it comes out and I'm like, oh, sorry. - Yes. - But one of the ways that our oldest daughter has displayed that I think she has headed in the direction of the arts is the one day that we were watching an Eagles game. And she was, she was sitting on the couch and she was watching, I, she was watching the game and I shared my thoughts and feelings about the game. Yeah, she sat there and she, she, I could see it on her lips and she was, and I was like, what are you doing? So I luckily knew to pull out, pull out my phone 'cause I was like, this is something's about to pop off. And she said exactly what mom said in the exact- - Incine. - Afflection tone, all of it spot on. It's their sponges, they're amazing. - It was so impressive. It was almost as if she like had taken, she watched me do it, she took notes and she was like, I can nail that. - Well, that's what she's gonna do on stage too. - That's what I need. - And on camera. - Yeah, that's what I want. To be clear, the quote was quickly, I said, excuse me, and she goes, sorry, from, from upward. I was like, you're right, it is a from upward. - How old is she? - When she did that. - She did that. - Three. - 'Cause it was one my husband was still playing. Three years old, I think. - I gotta tell you, I, I got a lot of hope in her. - I think I'm like you. I like it. She wasn't- - It was already like, I tried to reel it back. I tried to. Immediately was like, hey, this is my reaction. We're not using grown-up words, those are grown-up words. But in my heart.
- It was, I was a proud moment. - How could you not be? - It was very, very. - My mom had a couple of phrases herself that I'm sure I picked up from. But I was not a lot, I'm like you. She did not say to me, oh, you know, or allow it or laugh. She knows, I'm sure I'm the inside. You know what I mean? It had to, later on, aggressive laughter. - Yeah. - But in that moment, I was like, oh, no, thank you. - Yes, and later on, I was like, wow, she felt-- - Did you go to the Super Bowl last year? Did you go? - I did. - Wow. - That must have been great, huh? - It was mixed emotions because of my brother-in-law playing for the chiefs. - Yeah. - That's true. - But go birds. - Yeah, that was a mixed one, 'cause-- - And what about for your husband? Was it mixed for him? - He was very sad for his brother, and very happy for his former teammates. He was very much, he was so conflicted, it kept him up for days before, and it kept him up for days afterwards. - And how did-- - 'Cause they're your loved ones. - Of course, and how did you feel going into the-- So you couldn't-- - Not correct. - So he couldn't really celebrate after, huh? Because-- - I don't even know that he would have, because he was so sad for his brother. He truly, it hit him hard. - Yeah. - Or is it good? - Yeah. - It would. - I think you got a little mama there. We'll be in one battle after another, and about 10 years, essentially. (laughs) - Now, I saw a clip with you and Jennifer Hudson, where you said that Kevin Hart calls you Nana Jean-Jean. - Nana Jean-Jean. - Because you stay at home a lot. - I see, yeah. I don't, you know, I feel like I did it. I don't, yeah. Going out and testing and being in something, it's just, it's no. It's not for me yet. I lost it. - Now, what are you doing at home? That is, like, is there like an activity of choice? Is it just hanging out? Is it enjoying the renovated lawn garden? - Yeah. It is, yeah. - This is making a lot of sense, is that why you're renovating, so that you can have an excuse, or even more of an excuse to stay home. - You know, I was really looking forward to using my yard a lot, and then that first year when it was completely done, I had some squatters, raccoons, who decided that it was their yard. They were even more excited about those renovations than I was. - Yeah. - Yeah. - And they're like those. - Those raccoons are something else. They're relentless. - It was like a war. It was like, like, war of the roses, except it was the raccoons. - Everything that you read online, like they don't like this, don't like that, didn't matter. At one point, there's a video, they're playing in front of the lights. You know how you think they, no, nothing. I don't know, these are today's raccoons. They're not like yesterday's raccoons. - Wow. - And they're big. Did they flip you the dirt? Did they hit you with the double? - They put you much in. They, I mean, I think they threw feet in there. They would, you could hear them. It's my assistant was like, she heard it on the audio. And she's like, they were playing in the pool. You could just hear that little hands. Oh no, they were, they were, they were, I can't, at one, and they were winning the war. At one point, they were, they won some battles because they're nocturnal. So we would be trying to stay up and one day, Kiarah was like, I'm coming over. We're catching 'em tonight, tonight is the night 'cause they'd been getting us, getting 'em. Looking at the camera and I'm like, it's five o'clock. I'm like, I can't take it. I think I gotta go take a shower and I was like, this, we're done, we're a wrap. They haven't come back 'cause they had come back three times and we missed 'em. As a matter of fact, they were on fire, Super Bowl night. They came five times that night. I don't know who they wanted to win or lose, but they were, I don't know. They were, they happier, mad. We don't know. They were, they're celebrating her piss. And then, finally, Sun comes up. She's like, well, they didn't come back tonight and I'm like, yeah, I had a feeling. I was like, I'm gonna just take my vitamins. I go and I look outside, they came in a daytime. They're spiteful. I read it online. I read it online. They came in the daytime. Sun up, sun bright. Came back in the morning. We weren't prepared. We could see 'em getting fatter by the day. I mean, they were, they were, they were living and eating, probably in your yard. They were in trash cans coming to us. It was all night. - That's outstanding. I'm so sorry you went through that, but it's incredible. - Yeah, there's videos. There's just tons. I just have a little-- - No, no, no, no. - Has the sun since. - That was the original, I have to tell you this, that was the original one battle after another. - Was it? - That was the original one that I fought. That was the one battle after another, yes. - And your neighbor is a PTA? - Yeah. - Your neighbor saw what was happening and he was like, you know what? - He didn't see it from where he was ready for-- - Oh yeah, I know. He was like, I'm feeling something. He was like, you know what? I don't know what you're saying. - Did he send the raccoons as recruits? - They were the Frink 75, the originals. - You let him know that we're onto him. We figured it out right here. - I'm glad you helped 'cause I was, and now I'm like, it's clear as day. - I love that just talking about it. Like, are you getting a little like, like sweaty? - Because like, I've since we've put it behind us, but I'm telling you at one point, it was like, we can't, I mean, we weren't sleeping. We just see him just prance, right on over. Just prance, wash their hands in the pool. - I was gonna say, I do think the way that they waddle with their fat asses, you're like, it almost makes you more mad. - Oh my goodness, oh yeah, and at one point, they would, they had learned to waddle with their fat asses and take that fat ass and face the door, so they could see if we were coming out. They could be-- - They had to look out. - Yeah, they had to look out. - I don't, they're stubborn. They've got a tenacity that you, you, you, you have perseverance, you kind of have to respect. - You have, we did have to respect it. - I'm telling you right now, PTA sent those raccoons to see if you were ready for this movie. - You're right. Well, maybe I should thank them. I do love the movie and I love the way it came out, so maybe they were a gift. - This is perfect. We will say thank you to the raccoons for preparing Regina for this role. - Yes, yes, perfect. - There's that silver lining that we knew always. - Right. - Yeah, we found it. We found it. - Now, make sure you go and see her in one battle after another out September 26th. Regina, thank you so much for coming on "Knockin' a Lie" today. - Thank you so much, fun. - And that's a wrap on another episode of "Knockin' a Lie."
