| 0:16.6 | you to my two lovely co-hosts. First, the queen of foodies and families, Miss Cassie Bryant. |
| 0:22.2 | Cassie, how you doing today? I am doing great. I had cinnamon, I had cinnamon toast crunch this |
| 0:27.3 | morning for breakfast. Oh, cinnamon toast crunch. That's fancy. I just feel like it's so foodie. |
| 0:34.5 | Chalice, what did you have for breakfast? Something healthier? |
| 0:37.7 | Probably cake. |
| 0:39.2 | Cake. Legitimately. You had ice cream cake left over from one of our son's birthdays, if I remember right. |

| 1:07.1 | If you could be any TV mom, who would you be? Cassie Bryant, if you could be any TV mom, who would you want to be? |

| 1:18.2 | Sophia from Golden Girls. I feel like she's living her best life. Yeah, she's the best. |
| 1:23.7 | She is the best. She's definitely an Enneagram 8, and she's living with her favorite daughter, |
| 2:18.4 | who's a grown woman and all of her girlfriends. And she's a lot of fun. She's so much fun. So you have one favorite daughter and you want to live with that one of them for the rest of your life? Is that kind of the idea? All three of my daughters are my favorite. If any one of them would have me live with them and their girlfriends while in their like 70s and I'm 95. I don't really turn that on you though. Yeah, he did. He really wanted me to throw one of, do my, yeah. Just throwing down the parent bear trap for later. Chelsea, how about you? Oh, let's hear Chelsea's. It's going to be way better.

| 2:29.7 | That's so ridiculous. I'm not shocked at all. I feel not shocked at all. I feel very shocked. |
