platform that I do on an hour pregame show on an hour post game show, like to really show her personality. I mean, you see it like in her reports and stuff like that. But I think that at least the response that I get a lot is like, Oh my gosh, I didn't know that Aaron was so funny. I didn't know that Aaron was this, like all these things because you get to see her in a different space.
So she could speak to it more than I can, but that's my observation from her end. But I think for us, it was just about, um, You know, let's just we're so comfortable, good, bad or indifferent in all the shit that's happened to us.
She's very honest about, you know, what happened to her early in her career with, you know, the voyeurism and my phone being hacked and having personal pictures and videos come out and my divorces and her, you know, divorce.
issues with trying to get pregnant and infertility and all these, all of these like really heavy subject matters that maybe we wouldn't have been comfortable talking about earlier in our career that we feel like now we are okay with who we are. We are comfortable with the honesty and, you know, the exposure of like, Hey, this is who we are. Like it don't like it.
Cause we know a lot of people don't like us, which is fine, but it just was a platform to sort of talk about all of these things and do it uninhibited.
Yeah, well, thank you for that. Like you just said, everyone has a choice or sometimes you don't have a choice and that becomes your reality. If you can't have kids, my choice to not have children was... It grew from my struggle in marriages. So what I mean by that is I married the wrong people, plural. I've been divorced twice. And I had some situations that crucified.
created a lot of mistrust and a lot of heartache and a lot of things that came from those experiences in marriage that I was like, oh, I don't want to attach myself to something that I can't detach from. And that's a big statement, right? I can get a divorce. I can walk away from those marriage, but I can't walk away from children. And I always wanted to have kids.
I mean, I grew up, I was a nanny. I babysat the neighbor kids when I was 11 years old, first of all. They gave me, they gave an 11 year old, a nine month old baby. So you're welcome. And I watched them all the way to the time until I graduated high school. So for seven years and three kids later, I would travel with them. I would go, you know, go over to their house every day and watch their kids.
My mom did daycare growing up because she wanted to stay home with us. So I was always around kids. So I was like, it wasn't, I played baby dolls. I always had this idea that I was going to have kids. I was going to have three boys and one girl and she was going to be the last and the youngest, the big brothers would take care of her. Okay. All of that.
I also thought I was going to live happily ever after and have a beautiful white wedding and a marriage that lasted 45 years like my parents had been married. None of that happened. So for me, it went back to control where I can at least control. If I can't control the outcome of these marriages, I can control that I'm not going to.
to bring a child into the world and i don't want to have to if god forbid me and the person that had the baby together got separated that i'd have to share that child like there's all of these other things that can happen when you have a child and for me it was about the control which sounds crazy like oh my god but i based off i think it sounds rational is what it sounds based off it does not sound crazy it sounds rational
Okay. Well, thank you for making me feel, because sometimes I'm like, am I the same way? I'm never going to get married again. And everyone's like, oh, come on. You can't let those experiences in the past ruin this. I go, yeah, I can. Because you guys didn't go through the hell that I went through in those. And I take responsibility too, for the outcome, right?
This isn't just like, oh, all of these things happened to me. I was a participant in the chaos and the outcome of these things. So let me regain control. And I've done a lot of work on myself to just be a better version of myself and knowing that like I can be in a relationship and not have to get married and I can be in a relationship and not have to have children.
And the only reason I got married the last time was because that person had never been married and they wanted to get married. I didn't even want to get married again, but I did it for them. And so I'm like, I'm done making decisions because somebody else wants that. So I am very comfortable in the decision not to have children. And I get that maternal instinct now with these animals that I have.
Like, I know that sounds crazy, but like, you know, my dogs, my horse, like this, half the reason I ended up getting this ranch was that I could pour water. my like love that I'm not giving to children into these animals and not have to put them in college or deal with bullying or deal with all of these other crazy, like insane things you guys as parents will have to deal with.
And I think if we're having a therapy session, which we are, it really comes back to my need for control over something because my life was so out of control in the past and half that wasn't my fault. So yeah. And I will now pay you $500 for the last hour of therapy. Thank you, Kylie.
Exactly. Yeah.
Seriously.
Well, I love you for saying that because we feel exactly the same about you. We talk about your hair. We talked about that jawline. And also just the fact that you are as advertised. Like you are the person that what you see is what you get. And I'm so – you know, I talked earlier about how women sometimes are not always – wonderful and supportive like you are.
And I knew from the second that we were in that bathroom stall, not together separately, but yelling over the bathroom stall at one another that, um, I just adore you. So congratulations on everything, your children, your podcast, and I'm just always rooting for you. Such, such a fan of you.
