Heeeere's Billy!  

This week, I sit down with my oldest brother Billy for a chaotic sibling reunion involving family secrets, obsessive Notre Dame football fandom, deleted vacation photos, questionable movie opinions, and one spectacularl Army credit-card sex scandal.

We debate whether Top Gun: Maverick is emotionally devastating or complete trash, revisit the legendary Chicago trip where I accidentally erased every photo we took, and unpack the time Billy watched a Notre Dame game during our sister’s wedding photos.

Billy also reveals why his daughter is named after a Chicago bar, the dumbest fitness product he ever bought, and the story of an Army soldier who charged more than $3,000 in phone-sex calls to the government.

Plus: excessive Kelly-family sweating, Clue, The Cutting Edge, A League of Their Own, Sean Penn looking exactly like our father, and the terrifying childhood television death that left me permanently afraid of being abandoned in the desert.

It’s movies, family dysfunction, military stories, sibling stuff, nostalgia, and an alarming number of tangents.

Oh boy, it's my first solo video episode! Buckle up, this is going to be a bumpy ride. 

First up, I talk about how fat I have gotten lately and my snacking injury. Also, my insane eyebrows that were a result of some poor mircroblading. 

Then onto the main event: One of my daughter's teachers called Child Protective Services on me and I tell the story of the interview I had to do at my house. 

Then some News in Brief: Elon Musk is not a Scientist and the time I took a racist (but funny) diversity quiz. 

Last, I round things out with Old News: The P. Diddy documentary. I hate P. Diddy. Always have. Always will. 

Enjoy!

In this episode, I sit down with my nephew, Sean Violette, who among other things, recently graduated from UCONN (Go Huskies!). We talk about tarot card readers, comedic dog tragedies, gross EMT stories, Broadway, the 9/11 Museum, and multiple tales of people falling down. 

Sean is the absolute man, and this episode is hysterical.

In this episode of The Katie Kelly Show, I get into a fight with my robot best friend (ChatGPT) over unsolicited career advice, reflect on the emotional crime of no-candy Valentine’s Day, and tell the story of running into an old boss who once fully supported my Grey’s Anatomy grief.

Then, just when the day feels blessed by the universe, I get a call from Lennox’s school about a hammer threat, backpack searches, and the deeply incorrect assumption that I’m running some kind of John Wick basement operation.

A solo episode about parenting, panic, bad advice, spiritual congestion, school drama, and trying to remain normal in deeply abnormal circumstances.
