What life updates does Kail share at the beginning of the episode?
Welcome to the shit show. Things are going to get weird. It's your fave villain, Kale Lowry. And you're listening to Barely Famous.
All right, everyone, welcome to a solo episode of Barely Famous Podcast. This is my first solo episode in a really long time, and especially the first episode solo for 2026. And I just kind of wanted to give a little update on my life because Controversial Kale is back. And I fear it's going to be the best year I've ever had. I'm manifesting it. 25 put me on my ass and 26 is going to lift me right the fuck back up. So that's where we're at. I'm going to start this episode off with a bang. Okay. And this is going to spiral into other topics. The first question is where are you at currently in your co-parenting journey? The newer struggles that are popping up as the kids age, for example, Elliot getting a car, Lincoln on social media, et cetera.
This is a great question. It's gonna come with a lot of backlash, I'm sure. I am of the belief that the older the kids get, 50-50 no longer really works for us. I'm not gonna speak for all people across the board, but for my kids specifically, I think we're finding it very difficult for the children to unpack their belongings at one house, and then by the time they get settled in after the first day or two, Five days later, they have to turn around and do the same thing again. And then we're finding, oh, well, I forgot my laptop at dad's or I forgot my laptop at mom's. And now we have a situation with a car. And I do – this is going to air a little bit after I give Elliot his car. And so I wanted to do a more in-depth discussion on that specifically.
And this is not to shit on anyone. It's just kind of like to – give some perspective on where we're at. And when it comes to Elliot's car specifically, prior to... me purchasing the car, there were some things going on between Joe and myself where Joe doesn't pay for anything. I mean, in full transparency, Joe pays for nothing. Joe asks me if I need anything. Never. He literally never asks me, do I need his contribution anywhere? So last year, Elliot went to prom. I covered the entire cost of the tickets. I covered the entire cost of his outfit. I covered everything, went to the pictures with him, took pictures with him, the whole nine. But it was never asked of me, did I need anything? And no, I'm not going to ask the other parent to
Contribute because it's my opinion that Joe knew that he was going to prom and so it was his responsibility in my opinion to reach out and ask for Does he need to assist anywhere? So when the topic of the car came up? Elliot had told me that he wanted a jeep and I was like, okay like I could get behind a jeep and in my opinion I owe Elliot The entire world I would not be where I am without Elliot. I would not have sought out certain opportunities that I have gotten if it was not for him and getting pregnant with him and truly getting on TV and then having him and he didn't really sign up for any of that. And so I feel like anything that Elliot wants, he gets. And so the conversation about the car came up and he had expressed to me that he would be interested in getting a Jeep.
So in my head, I committed to getting him a Jeep and I wasn't gonna say anything to Joe. Joe didn't bring it up to me. I didn't bring it up to him. Elliot had come home one day and said that he had mentioned to his dad that he wanted a Jeep. And his dad immediately was like, no, I'm not allowing you to drive a Jeep for whatever reasons there may be.
How does Kail navigate co-parenting with children in different stages?
Not sure. I text Joe and I say, hey, I'm going to go car shopping with Elliot. Sorry, I'm going to go car shopping for Elliot. Just wanted to give you a heads up. At that point, Joe said that he felt like that warranted a bigger conversation. And I said I would be willing to talk to him if he was contributing money. If he was going to contribute to Elliot's vehicle, I would be willing to talk about it. Um, I was left on red and I never spoke to him about the car again. I have no intentions of speaking to him as I sit today.
