about a little bit of everything todaywhile we can. So, how was
your day? It's good, verygood because I found this pickled the guio
stuff. Oh that's so good.Where did you get that? Fresh time
farmers Market? It's so good,it's so so good. I've been looking

(01:55):
for it for like a year.I feel like, and where did you
see it? And TikTok, theinfamous he came up on my for you
pay and they did like this,I don't I don't even know what.
They're called gorilla or something like that. And they've made a pickle sharkcutery board.

(02:16):
Isn't that so fun? I've seenthe perfect name that was like um
ah as kids grew up on lunchablesand that's that's why we love sharcutery boards
so true. Do you remember ourgrocery chips? Yes, then all would
be the boss of all the wewould be the boss of what I'm eating
now. Yeah, but those wereso fun and we would drop one hundred

(02:38):
dollars would so much every time.But my mom my mom loved it.
Yeah, all the snacks. Speakingof moms, how is your homestead going?
Um, it's good. I guessit's rough. Yeah, do you
want to get into that? Yeahwe can. Okay, we'll start where

(03:00):
you want to start. Um.Man, I don't know. This is
for like a whole another different episodethat we can get into it. But
um, obviously you know suspensible,yes, dun dun dune. Um,
my kid's dad passed away. SoI've been doing this like all by myself.

(03:23):
And she's two boys. Yes,I have two boys, Carter Max,
little Pooper Scoopers. Um, it'sjust been rough. I guess now,
I guess it has been. Yeah. Um, I don't really know
how to like navigate through it all, um, because I know that I

(03:44):
need to, like, you know, talk to somebody, but yeah,
um, I don't know. Idon't really try to bring it up to
them, yeah much, Yeah,because I don't know what to say,
because I don't know what can yousay? Right? Do they ask?
They talk about it like to themselvesall the time. They'll like talk about

(04:04):
dad and that's their little way ofyeah stuff yeah, and his mom,
so their grandma Lisa, you know. Yeah, yeah, but she finally
like came around or whatever. Acouple of months ago. They were blaming

(04:26):
you yea, which is yeah,my stuff. I didn't know. It
was a really rough rough time inthe very beginning. But she came around,
and she's trying to help me,like with the kids and stuff.
So every single time, like theygo over there, she's like giving them
some of his stuff. Yeah,which has helped. Maybe it's helping her,
Like at first it probably was likehard on her and she was being

(04:49):
spiteful, but maybe now she's like, yeah, yeh, his blood right,
like she wants to be a partof yeah, them their lives.
Yeah, well that's good. That'sgood. A little heavy, a little
heavy here, a little heavy forthe first but yeah with me. But

(05:12):
yeah, I think like nobody ever, like our generation is so and I
think our moms as well, becausewe both had really young moms and we
have young moms, but like ata young like they had us at a
young age, and nobody expects,you know, when you have a baby
to be alone, especially like nobodyexpects death. Like that's some freaking heavy
crape and so it's like I wah, and that's saying a lot because she

(05:40):
is a temper so but no,like nobody expects that. So I think
like, like nobody even like there'snot a book that tells you right,
you have to do it this wayor this is a correct way, like
nobody nobody knows. I mean there'sresources, of course, but it's actually
when death is like involved, likeyeah, and the way it happened,

(06:02):
like said another show, it's that'sinsane, insane, yeah yeah, um,
but other than that, everything's goodthough, Yeah, everything's good.
Yeah. Carter is in math club, which loves loves Math club, loves
math Club. That's good, whichI'm shocked because I didn't think any child

(06:27):
of mine would be so into mathbecause I sunk in that is my worst
subject, too freak. But heloves it. Can be so like quick
with it and that'll help him.I think with later in math like to
learn different, like um, becausethe way they're teaching math now was so
weird, so fucking weird, soweird started um, so it's like having

(06:49):
us like why do we have torelearn it because we're because they're like how
do we don't? Like I don'tknow, but this is the way I
learned and this is how it's going, and I know we should do that,
but there's like this, I don'twant him, my son, to
get discouraged and be like my momdoesn't all you know what I'm saying.
Yeah, So I try to helpin the best way I can. And

(07:10):
they don't have to teach it thatway, right right, So if our
kids aren't graspingate like they are allowedby law to like not learn that way.
Yeah, I mean with mine becausehe's on nipey. I don't know
how like others work, but likeby law or a Fible four, like
they can be taught the way thatthey learned. They learned best, but
it's which is how it shouldn't be. Yeah, yeah, because that's just

(07:33):
like too much. Yeah, streakinghere, I stuck at my author already
so already trying to relearn like anew method of doing it. Oh my
gosh, it's like boxes and thenlike I don't even know, I don't
learn intend us like that apparentheses.So I was telling Jacob like this is
how he has shakes. That's nottrue. I'm like, yes it is.
Yeah, he's like my teacher said, don't do it that way,

(07:54):
because that's not the correct I said, yes, it is right, the
like as it's getting done and theright answer. I feel like I shouldn't
really know he would like, buthe's like, we'll do this problem,
and I didn't like, wasn't thecorrect answer, And I did another problem
and it was the correct answer withthe pen boss yet it right, Like
what are you doing? Doesn't makesense? I hate it. I hate

(08:16):
it so much. We were hittinga little rough patch there for a minute.
Um, just I think with everythingwith that, like what I touched
on before, he was kind ofjust like, you know, treating me
like crap and yeah, saying alot of bad things to me, Like
I would like drap him off atschool and go and sit in my driveway

(08:37):
and like bought my eyes out.Yeah anger, I guess. Yeah.
Crazy sucks, it really does.Being a mom is hard. It is,
but I love it. I dotoo. So, um, we're
gonna take good bike and we'll beright back. I have Kelsey in here

(09:00):

motherhood, life and everything in between. While sipping on some mimosas mimosas'll

her lap right now. It's aFrankie boye. So while we're on Blake,

(09:20):
we were talking. We were reminiscingon our how we met and how
we became friends, and it's funnyin its own little way, so let's
talk about it. So we bothwent to a UM vocational school. So
what if you don't know what thatis at the trade school and you know,
you go through you go during yourhigh school years, either four years

(09:43):
or two. We went to UMand we were studying cosmetology. Neither of
us are cosmatologists. We are not. And how we became friends was junior
year and we will let Kelsey takeit from there. Ali with Jacob junior
year. Yes, and Ali usedto have the cutest boots and I'll get

(10:11):
a long sip boots and I wouldalways stare at them because she sat diagonal
from me, like I was rightbehind her, Yeah, diagonal, and
I would always stare at them,and I would always think, like I
want to be her friend. Butjunior like so that senior year, yeah,
that so we were doing like thisthing, this technique called like these

(10:35):
little sheets, yeah, of stuff. We would have to get the stuff.
Yeah, And so it was likefinger Finger Away Week or whatever,
and everybody was so good. Andthen guys looked at Kelty's the church is
like perfect, all right, andI was like, what the hell,
I can't do it. I can't. Everybody hated me at first because I

(11:01):
was this bleached blonde hair whatever girl, the girl from thinking Avon Lake girl
and she anyway, I don't likeI was. I don't remember. It
was like we were I was figuringout what I was having, and I
don't know how that came about.I don't really remember how, Like you
were like I want to go thisgirl from class um she asked you to

(11:26):
she you asked her to take you? Right, Yeah, you met us
at the hospital, I think,I think maybe, yeah, I don't
remember that. Do you remember comingto the hospital when he was born?
Really? No, you were atthe hospital to figure out if he was
a boy or a girl, andthen like we were oh my god,
Yes, I do remember it becausewe were all in the room. Yeah

(11:46):
yeah, and I kind of Iwas having a boy, and like I
do remember that. But anyway,he was a healthy baby, so a
very healthy baby. He was solike, yeah, so I had a
boy, and then like we juststayed so you moved to my tent,

(12:09):
and I think that's what, likewe were friends, but that's what started
it. When I was moving theavon like yeah, and I drove,
so I picked up every morning andI would let her drive. Yes,
funny about that. Oh do youremember. I just remembered, like do
you remember, like after the ultrasound, like I almost ran through her red
light and I like slammed on mybrakes and every girl in the backseat,

(12:31):
like I don't know where I sawit. I was looking at it.
I was like, oh, it'sred and I'll just do to dude going
about forty five fifty on that roadbecause that's like the rule. Ye slammed
on it. That was crazy goodtimes. We've had a lot of a

(12:54):
lot of that little car escort good. It really was. It was everywhere
we put that thing through. Hell, I don't even think I ever got
in the oil too. No,I can't testify to that because my uh
graduation party. You let me useit so I could go grocery shopping and

(13:16):
I don't remember where I went,but I was coming back and you were
at your grandma's I think, okay, or no, maybe it was your
mom's. Yeah, because Lear Roadexit wasn't there yet, so you had
to get off at three. Yeah. So I'm getting off the exit and
all of a sudden, Alie's carjust turns off. I'm stuck on the

(13:37):
side of the road. Nine m. Where was I at the house?
I don't remember that. I don'tremember that, but yeah, super embarrassing.
But there was no no oil.That thing was dry. He took

We were eighteen? They couldn't reallytell us no. Oh yeah,
I guess that's true. Yeah,we were like the oldest of the group.

(15:11):
we did, and we made work. We ate on a budget with
make dattos every single day because ofEaster, so we went to every dinner.
It was so much fun. Andthen on our way back we got

back from Great I have Kelsey learnhere. I am Ali Michelle. We
are talking about motherhood, life,friendship, and a little bit of everything

(16:38):
in between. Let picture myself beforeI wasn't even recording, so we just
have an Amber alert on our system, so everything just shut down for a
second. But we were just talkingabout how people on the internet want to,
you know, crap on people's looksand features. And I've never had
worked on my face ever. Ihave experience about me, know, with

(16:59):
my lips, and I have likeit's like a weird skin thing that it's
like super rare. I forget thename. I saw it on Doctor Pimple
Popper one time. And she knewwhat exactly what it was. Um,
but we were talking how it justmakes us feel beautiful, not because other
people, because if we even didget work done, people would still crap
on your look, Oh she's playingbotox. I never had botox, and

(17:23):
somebody said botox. I'm like,where please? Because if I look good.
When I was sending me the money, give me. Yeah, and
that's what I told you. SoI told a stroll and I was just
like, um, it was aboutmy lips. I was like, well,
you can have my cash off,and you can. You don't give
me money to pay for my freakinglips. Send it through breaking a freaking
a And I do have baby birdlips, but I'm not gonna get them

(17:45):
done because you told me to.Exaly, So as my mom's like,
we get stretched, mirs, wego through a cramp ton of stuff.
And we were just talking about wantingto just like, you know, fix
a little bit here and there.I had a week and let Kelsey talk
about how she feels about it.Same thing. Yeah, And I got
my lips done last year. Ithink she I thought she already had pumpy

(18:10):
lips. I didn't think I meanmy bottom lip is a nice bottom lip,
but my top lip was just notcoming through with that, like she
was lacking. I mean some daysit's almost been a year, so I
know that you have to do itlike yearly. Is it every year or
like six months? It's every year. I'm pretty sure that's what my girl.
But I also got like I thinkit was juveiterm. Yeah, and

(18:33):
I got like the softest one.So I don't know if maybe that had
something to do. So they hadlike you know when you go to the
doctor, Like the only thing thatI can think of is like when you
go to your obie and they havelike the little display thing of like where
the IUD goes. Okay, right, sure, So here they had like
just this little like pamphlet, notlike a pamphlet, but like a thing

(18:57):
like a thing like that. Idon't know what they're calling, but im
diagram. Yeah, and it hadlike you could get them. It was
like these little tiny, like squishylike ball type things that like felt like
skin. Okay, but you couldwhich I'm not knocking anybody if they have
this type, but you could getit like rock hard on your lift.

(19:19):
That's what I'm saying. Maybe itlaughs maybe, but I mean I just
think that would be uncomfortable, notonly for me, but like my partner.
I feel like, right like kissingand stuff like, it would just
be weird. But also it mightif it's like something else, it might
be good, like the nextra becausethey I've never had my conquerors, but

(19:48):
rock hards lift, I mean maybeyou know. I mean it's not like
scratchy, so it would right feellike a massage tool or something like now
I have. Yeah, I'm blushing, but um yeah, I mean maybe
who knows, but you got thesoftest one. I got the softest one,

(20:11):
okay. Um, and yeah,like you couldn't really tell it when
I wake up in the morning,you can tell, like my lips are
very like my top one is veryvery cool. Um, that's weird.
But yeah, when I went towork, I didn't tell people. Yeah,
first of all, because I don'twant to know your opinion, right,
And we remember like wearing masks lastyear. Um, so yeah,

(20:37):
it was kind of like hidden.And then I don't know, somehow the
word got out or something and there'slike this woman at my job ladies.
Yeah, I mean I I oh, yeah, for sure. It's like
it's high school, oh to thelike everybody, and there's like that was

(21:00):
some people people. Yes, Ican see that. Yeah, I like
see what my mom my mom's ata nurse but you know she works for
hospice, and I can just tellor the worst worst quit. Because people
always always had my name in theirmom I'm like, I am a simple
transporter, minding my business whatever,and they just always ran on their mouth.

(21:26):
And then when I would confront people, they're like, I don't like
if I'm confronting you about something,like just say it. Yeah, Like
there's like drama, not drama,but for me drama. Yeah my job
right now to where like I've justheard certain things about myself. Yeah,
so if I can, if Iconfront you about it, if I'm giving

(21:49):
you the opportunity to just come clean, to come clean and tell me that
you were talking about me, sayit. Yeah. Yeah. There's some
girls at my job. I'm abartender at the casino. There's sixty year
old women, yeah, who arethe same way, who are the same
way. It never changes never.I think it's just a workplace. I
just think, like I just think, I think I just think that they

(22:14):
get off on Tom and I justit's like everybody's kind of board. Yeah,
that's the same thing on internet,Like the Internet is the worst.
But because you can't, especially whenpeople have so much time on their hands
on the Internet. Yeah, andyou can't be confronted with the face space
because I promise you, I guaranteeyou a random stranger won't come up to
you and be like, oh,you got your lips done or oh you're
you're you're your lips her baby lips. I'm like, oh, it's just

(22:37):
fair. I would be like laughingbecause it just seems like, can you
give me a hundred bucks? Allright? So yeah, so yeah,
somebody the cat out of the bags. She said something to me like,
oh you got your lips done?Yeah, so what like who varies?
Right? I will do as Iplease with my body exactly if it makes

(22:59):
me feel confident. That's where Istand with my choice and that's it.
But you know, yeah, that'sright. Yeah, Like you can't tell
me if I can get up likemy work done on my facing. And
then so many girls like okay,like double standards. Yeah, Like there's
girls walking around here with implants,yeah in their chests. Nobody has nothing

(23:25):
to say about that women anything.Now now we have all these people,
then women then they they yeah thatstuff. But um, yeah, it
blows my mind because why are theyallowed to get boob jabs but I can't
put something in my lip that willmake me feel confident. It's because they're

(23:49):
jealous. That's what it is.Just pure jealousy and their board and their
miserable. That's why I that's whatI've learned being on the internet because at
first, when people like I waslike, holy crap, this is like
not for like the week I wasmessed up for I think like a week
and a half maybe, and Iwas just like always like reading the comments

(24:11):
because there are people that take yourvideo and put it out of context all
the time, right, Yeah,that was remember like was it last year
that guy that was like every singleone of your videos like switching them.
Yeah, and he had like agood fouling. I think he had like
two hundred thousand or three hundred thousand, and just like obsessed, so obsessed,
and like that wasn't like because likeI was already used to it and

(24:33):
I already like grew like six skinto it. But like before that,
it was like people first of alllike we like filters, girls like filters
and like filters. It's just thenorm of the internet. So if I
want to put like a filter thatmakes my skin look a little bit smooth,
and like I'm going to period andthen but you're gonna turn around and

(24:55):
like call like call me out onmy character. That's where I don't that's
but you don't know me, right, and then you're gonna sit and then
when I try to defend myself,turn around and report me and then get
me banned. That's bullcrap because youwould never say it to me in person.
And I have addressed like liberals inpublic, like you know, like
I have family members that we canliterally sit down and have a conversation about

(25:18):
anything and I don't agree and theydon't agree. But like you're not gonna
she's They aren't going to turn aroundand be like, well, you're ugly
or you're this, or you're likeno that anything. But the Internet is
such like we live in like alike I told you the other day,
we're living in a weird part ofhistory where we're learning so many different things
and the Internet is part of ourworld, like and it's so it's such

(25:41):
a tricky but slippery slope. TheInternet is not for the week. And
I keep like people want to liketell me, like they want to be
called a podcaster or you know,they want to become an inn. I'm
like, you have to get likeone of my aunts, for example,
she's like she's doing this, andyou have to be ready for those people
that might say something really mean becausethat'll mess you up for a very long

(26:06):
time. So it's not for theweek. And it's but I think these
people like I would never like wantto take them, like take it away
from them to be able to saywhat they want. But at the same
time, you need to be heldaccountable in some sort of way. And
don't expect me to just bow downto you every time, you know,
so yeah this is me, that'snot but um, but yeah, do

(26:37):
what you want with your face,you know, get your implants, get
your botta, because that's me too. That's exactly That's what we were saying,
is I've noticed that I have thosewhat are these smile lines only,
but I have makeup on though it'smore defined. Maybe it's just the kind
of brand. Maybe yeah, becauselike Jeffrey Ston, here's something that like

(27:00):
he'll be like in like nothing moves. Yeah. I've been using UM for
like the setting spray here, sprayYeah, and it just like sucks and
altogether really yeah, trust me notsaying but yeah, I'm a spring and
I watched um I forget her name. It's like a drag queen, but

(27:21):
she's like mega. She uses theacquaint on her face and she's like this
eyebrows won't budge, make them likesuper defined? Ye what yeah? Yeah?
More time? Is it? Dowe have time still? I know
my clock doesn't show, but I'mrecording. Well, that is all the

(27:45):
time we have today. And Ithink Kelsey for being on our show more.
