Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie & Kelly Clarkson on America’s Best Vocalist, A Christmas Album Offering & Birth Plans | Ep. 16
27 Mar 2025
Kylie’s back for a brand new episode of Not Gonna Lie presented by Liquid Death and kicks the show off by finally announcing the winner of the NGL Fan Name poll (1:35)! Let’s just say Kylie is conflicted… After that, Kylie gets brutally honest about the phenomenon that is Birth Plans in this week’s edition of “Can I Be Honest?” She explains what they are, her very short personal birth plan and also calls out people in comment sections who have decided what does and does not qualify as giving birth (3:08). Then, Kylie is joined by yet another woman she has no business speaking to: the original American Idol, Grammy Award winning superstar Kelly Clarkson (11:48)! Kylie and Kelly get right into their Eagles-Cowboys rivalry, as Kylie claims Kelly is one of very few Dallas fans she’d ever agree to have on the show. Kelly also tells a story about bumping into Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley and the Eagles offensive line when they were in New York filming an episode of The Tonight Show (12:15). Kylie and Kelly get to talking about Jason’s Philly Special Christmas album, Jordan Mailata’s incredible voice and whether or not Kelly would be willing to cross enemy lines and join the next album (14:18). Kylie then throws it back to Kelly’s American Idol days where she shares what that experience was really like in the first season of the show, her success afterwards and if it’s true that America found their best vocalist on the first try (20:30). Kelly also gets into what it was like to join The Voice as a coach and help out singers who were in the same position she was when she first started out (31:45). Lastly, Kylie asks Kelly about the best piece of motherhood advice she’s ever received (36:59). Kelly and Kylie also bond over their kids not being happy when they leave for work and the realities that come with being a working mother (40:20). As always, these episodes are capped at 45 minutes so make sure you tune into More Sh*t Monday on the Not Gonna Lie YouTube channel for exclusive clips from Kylie’s longer conversation with Kelly Clarkson. . . .

Full Episode
Not gonna lie, we record these cold opens at the end of the episode record, so I'm still sweating from today's Can I Be Honest. Let's get this podcast started so you can figure out what the heck I said. Welcome back to Not Gonna Lie, a Wave original brought to you by Liquid Death. Liquid Death is nothing scary. It sounds like it, but it's not. It's just the best water and iced teas.
It's just so crisp in a can, you know? I'm your host, Kylie Kelsey, local bagel connoisseur. My home has two podcast studios, and I could technically go into labor any second now. I wish. God. Get out. Coming up on today's episode, since I'm about to give birth for my fourth time in my life, I'm going to get brutally honest about birth plans. And no surprise here, mine is pretty short.
And after that, you're going to hear a conversation I had no business having with the one and only Kelly Clarkson. I got a chance to sit down with Kelly while we were in New York, and she was... absolutely delightful. You're going to hear us talk about Kelly's American Idol days, what it's like to be one of the greatest vocalists ever, and some good old-fashioned Eagles-Cowboys shit-talking.
Because you know I had to. It's all coming up. But before we get to that, last week we put out an official poll to finally determine the name of the NGL fanbase, and I am conflicted. Your finalists were the Chi League, the Real Ones, and the FAFOs. Chi League, with 71% of the vote, won. The FAFOs had 10%, and the Real Ones, 19%. I'm so sorry to Queen Emma that the real ones didn't win.
But I think we're going to have to come up with a compromise. The Kai League won, so I will respect that. We're going to put it on some shirts. Maybe a mug. Who knows? But I'm not going to lie. I also kind of want to veto it. I'm not gonna. Here's the thing. Either way, I'm going to keep calling you guys the real ones and you can call yourselves the Kylie.
I feel like that feels better because you know, I don't like when it seems like it's about me. I had to shut down the name, the Kylie Kelsey show so many times in meetings about this show. Like I, So many times. How can I say my name in the fan base name? All right, real ones. Now that that's settled. See, look at how nice that is. It sounds good. Let's move on to our next segment.
Can I be honest? Like I said at the top of this episode, I'm about to give birth. It is imminent. And if I suddenly get up during this segment, there's a reasonable chance my water broke. Please do it. Do it. Nothing. But fingers crossed, she's chill for the next few minutes because there's one more pregnancy topic I need to get honest about. Birth plans.
Before I get into this, as always, I just want to say, do whatever works for you. These are my personal preferences. I'm not you and you're not me. And we do not have to be living with each other's decisions. So remember that. Now for all the real ones out there who haven't had a baby, don't plan to, or are just unfamiliar with the phenomenon that is birth plans, this is what they are.
A birth plan is basically all of the things that you plan to do during labor. Some examples might be doing a home birth, Um, being in a kiddie pool in your own living room, being unmedicated, being medicated, making it to a hospital.
