Chapter 1: 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.

Chapter 2: 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. I have not had a further discussion with Joe about said car. He did not contribute. I paid for the car in its entirety. I planned to pay for the insurance.
Chapter 3: What challenges arise as Kail's kids grow older?
I paid for everything in it. I got him an emergency kit for it. I got him all kinds of things. Elliot is taking driver's ed. And so, um, I ultimately did not get him the Jeep because of whatever reasons Joe had given to Elliot and then Elliot shared with me.
I decided that it was probably if I could just keep everybody happy and get him a car that was a little safer, I think that would be a good compromise. But in... just in the circumstances of him not contributing to it at all. I just didn't feel like he had any other say in my opinion. And you can love that. You can hate that. You can disagree with it. I truly don't give a fuck.
It's that that's, what's working for us is we have no problems when I asked Joe for nothing. So I'm not asking, I did mention to him in that conversation about the car when it came up, um, you know, he, that he did not contribute. He has not contributed to cell phone copays, haircuts, um, prom outfit, homecoming outfit, car, nothing. He's contributed to nothing.
So as far as I'm concerned, this is what it is. At the point that I feel like my son is responsible enough to drive this car, my son is also high honor roll president of ASL club, in drama club, gets himself up and on the bus at 6.10 every single morning. I'm of the opinion that my oldest son is responsible enough to drive this car.
I don't know what that looks like once he gets the car and there is, you know, the 50-50. I could imagine that there will be times where Elliot is with me more than 50% and there will be probably times where he's with Joe more than 50%. I don't know how Joe is going to react to the car. And quite frankly, I don't give a fuck. So that's where I'm at there.
For Lincoln on social media, I maintain his Instagram account, but he's not on TikTok. And I know that he wants to be on TikTok, but I'm sort of conflicted on this because obviously we know that sometimes they... are privy to information on TikTok and social media that we don't want them to see.
Where I'm conflicted is that their friends, specifically Lincoln's friends, are telling him what's on there anyway, or they have TikTok, and so he's watching TikTok from their phones. If he's on YouTube Shorts, it's not really that much different than TikTok because a lot of times and I'm guilty of this too, like I'm reposting the same content on all the platforms.
So even if I don't have TikTok, I'm still gonna see people that have the same content on TikTok, I'll still see it on YouTube or Snapchat or Instagram. And so for me, it's like, I'm a little conflicted on it, but it's not necessarily a point of contention for me and Javi, and I would prefer to not rock that boat.
We've gone through enough ups and downs over the last 18 months that I would prefer to just kind of keep it a moot point. I don't care enough about TikTok. It's not like Lincoln's going to make any money off of it right now. He's too young. And like I said, whatever he's going to see or be told is going to happen regardless of TikTok. So it's not worth the battle that I would be picking.

Chapter 4: How does Kail protect her children's privacy in the age of social media?
Poshmark most of my closet. I separate things in a pile. Certain things for donation, certain things for Poshmark. I would like to do a lot of that. There's one thing I would like to start law classes this summer and start like literally one class at a time. starting in the summer specifically, because I won't have the kids half the time. And so I could dedicate my time to one class at a time.
It might take me 10 years to get through law school, but I will do it. And then another thing I have on here is more dinners at the table. Now, this is going to be a little bit hard for me because the toddlers are going out of their high chairs and there is only 16. chairs at my current dining room table. The dining room is not big enough to add chairs.
And if I have some of them sit at the counter on the bar stools and some of us at the table, we're not all together. And the dining room is not big enough to put a bigger table. Cause I, when I built the house, I specifically asked to not have a formal dining room. I only wanted a little dining room off the kitchen because we weren't, I didn't know.
When I built the house I'm in now, I never wanted to have extra space that was not being used. So when I lived in Middletown, I had a 7,000 square foot house and it was me and three kids half the time. And it was so big that literally half of the house never got used. And it was like, what am I paying all of this space, the upkeep, the bills, the housekeeping for this that's not getting used?
So when I built the house I'm in now with four kids, I was like, this is perfect. And it was perfect until I had three more. So that one is something that I'm going to have to figure out. And then I would like to start working out when Killer Sports opened. And the reason why I say when Killer Sports opens is because I have to be realistic about my time.
There is no way in hell that I'm, one, going to have the discipline or the time to work out at home. And the second thing is I absolutely do not have the time to drive to and from another place during the week, whether it's one time or five. I do not care what anyone says. It is not... about discipline.
This is about my time and how I'm able to get seven kids, myself, the businesses, my animals, like everybody taken care of. There literally leaves no time.
But when I'm physically going to be at work at Killer Sports, because I understand that when you open a physical business, like a brick and mortar, brick and mortar, you have to physically be present for a lot of the first year or more because you're trying to get things going and there's going to be a lot of like trial and error. And so I want to spend a lot of time
at the physical place until I'll be able to work out. Up until then, I don't think that I will have the time or the capacity to work out. And so I want to be really realistic about that. And so I put workouts at Killer Sports. So I think that will be more realistic for me. And then the last thing I have is take my meds consistently.

Chapter 5: What personal growth lessons does Kail discuss?
understanding that there are multiple sides to the story no matter how much you love someone and you want to believe what they're saying and maybe what they're saying is their truth but there is another side to it so I think it taught me a lot and I just so Alessandra just said like maybe me crying when I was going through the entire process with my dad was more like
grieving the potential of my dad and what could have been versus the actual death. And I think that is spot on. Like it's, I know that people say you can't miss what you never had. And in some ways that is true. But like, I was sort of like, more upset at that point that it was like, I didn't get to see this side of you growing up. I didn't get to make the decision.
And I kind of always said that too. Like when I have talked about my situation, it's like my mom made those decisions for me. She And then I also understand that to me, an absent father is better than an in and out father. And so in some ways, like it is a parent protecting their child. And then in some ways, in other people's scenarios is like control.
And I do think in my mom's situation, it was more a situation of control than it was about. Because like I said before, I've said this a million times, like my dad may have been poor, but he wasn't a horrible person. He wasn't a deadbeat. Sure, he might not have had a whole lot of money, but I don't think that we would have starved. My mom literally starved me like that's no joke.
Um, and I do think that we would have probably had fun together, had some type of relationship. And if at, you know, at the point that Lincoln is at where I would have had to choose or been given the option to choose, I could have made the decision for myself. If it's like, I really don't like going with my dad. It's not a situation that he was abusive towards me or my mom.
And so I just feel like to Alessandra's point, it was more like grieving what could have been. O Positive is a women's health company.
