Speaker 1: This is Take twenty with Maddie and Kenzie Ziggler and
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio podcast. Hey guys, so this is part
Speaker 1: two UM with our mom, which is so fun. We're
Speaker 1: gonna be asking her juicy questions and you guys are
Speaker 1: gonna get to know her a little bit better. So
Speaker 1: what what do we do that um drives you nuts? On? Mackenzie.
Speaker 1: What you do that drives me nuts is leave stuff
Speaker 1: everywhere and don't pick things though it's making nuts. Um.
Speaker 1: Maddie drives me nuts by saying this is gonna be okay?
Speaker 1: Is this okay? Is this okay? You know she's such
Speaker 1: a warrior. That's the only thing. I mean, like, I
Speaker 1: could totally live with that. I love how Maddie needs
Speaker 1: me that way. I know that's crazy. And I don't
Speaker 1: mind cleaning up after you. So you're gonna say I
Speaker 1: don't mind Kenzie being messy, but not thinking I really don't.
Speaker 1: I really, it's you just learned to live with it.
Speaker 1: I just it's there's nothing. It's not going to change him. Sorry,
Speaker 1: I really wish I could. It's just a terrible trade.
Speaker 1: I have. No Maddie used to be like that. So yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe I'll maybe I'll turn into her once. Hey, mom
Speaker 1: my own all right? Thanks? Question, when do you think
Speaker 1: that me and Kenzie should get married? That's just what
Speaker 1: you just asked. But when? When do you think is
Speaker 1: like a good time? When did you get married after
Speaker 1: your twenties? Six? I think, like I really I do.
Speaker 1: I actually agree with that. You know, like my sister
Speaker 1: got married when she was twenty one and she's been
Speaker 1: married her whole life, and which she's fine, But it's
Speaker 1: also like, I think I want to live out my
Speaker 1: twenties before I'm like tied down to being fully married
Speaker 1: some right, I mean it's not a bad thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm very impulsive, so we'll see how that goes. You're
Speaker 1: very what impulsive? Impulsive? That's not something you should be impulsive.
Speaker 1: That's true. You should think that through because look, look
Speaker 1: a mom, she got her to everyone's bound to. Um.
Speaker 1: I don't know much to be asking you this question.
Speaker 1: Let's go, what's one thing we need to learn how
Speaker 1: to cook to survive on our own? Oh, we just
Speaker 1: need rice and beans to be I'm always like when
Speaker 1: we were younger, I'd be like, mom, can you cook
Speaker 1: me cereal? Please? Just like yes, listen, mom, this is
Speaker 1: actually really funny. So her food. Her burgers are always
Speaker 1: so good, so good, so good. But there's this one
Speaker 1: time where they were not good, and my and Dakota
Speaker 1: and Colin were over. We're all having dinner eating her burgers,
Speaker 1: and I wasn't that hungry. But to Coda finishes burger,
Speaker 1: he does this thing where if he doesn't like it,
Speaker 1: he'll just eat it because he feels really good. Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, ate it. And then Mom was like, there's
Speaker 1: another burger, eat it and he's like no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I'm so full, and she was like, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: eat it. It was like forcing them to either the
Speaker 1: rest of her burgers. And they literally came up to
Speaker 1: me and we're like, I don't know what was wrong
Speaker 1: with those burgers, but they were not good. I don't
Speaker 1: think I cooked them long enough because I was worried
Speaker 1: I was going to burn them because I burned one
Speaker 1: of Maddie's burgers and we only had one and I
Speaker 1: had to shade the top off. He never knew because
Speaker 1: I put keys on it. Okay, Uh, what is something
Speaker 1: we still don't know about you? Um? Uh? Were you
Speaker 1: a crazy child? No? I told my mom, Well, no,
Speaker 1: I think my mom knew, but um, we used to
Speaker 1: all go to like senior week. It was after we
Speaker 1: graduated high school, and we stayed at a big house
Speaker 1: and most boy girls, you know, all together. And I
Speaker 1: lied to my parents and told them that I was
Speaker 1: going with all my girlfriends and we were just staying.
Speaker 1: But we didn't have cell phones, we didn't have any
Speaker 1: of that. So nice, you could just go and just yeah,
Speaker 1: But we used to lie to our parents and say
Speaker 1: we were sleeping at each other's houses and um, you'd
Speaker 1: be having a sleepover with a boy. No, we would
Speaker 1: go to New York City, my girlfriends and I and
Speaker 1: we would drive to New York City and um, yeah
Speaker 1: and stay half of the weekend. That's why I'm such
Speaker 1: a good driver, because I'm not. I was that's amazing,
Speaker 1: Say you're a good driver, but wait, that's actually amazing.
Speaker 1: I I love that you did that. And she just
Speaker 1: went to New York for the weekend. I wish I
Speaker 1: could do that. I know, right, Like, it sounds like
Speaker 1: you had a pretty eventful teenage life. Like now I'm like,
Speaker 1: you're forcing me to leave the house. She's like, go
Speaker 1: go go to your friends. That we had fun. I
Speaker 1: mean We never did anything bad because I was really
Speaker 1: actually straight. I mean I never drank or did anything.
Speaker 1: I was always afraid because my brother did it and
Speaker 1: I never did. But we would definitely go away for
Speaker 1: the weekends because the beach was closed. New York City
Speaker 1: was closed. What's it called, like Coney Island or something
Speaker 1: that we went to Ocean City, Maryland, taken towels that
Speaker 1: were forty dollars a night. Um, is there something that
Speaker 1: we've done that you disagree with? Like? Is it? Is it?
Speaker 1: Do you think it's tough to let us make our
Speaker 1: own decisions or no? I mean I think you guys
Speaker 1: are I'm so lucky. Like I hear these parents talk
Speaker 1: about their kids and I'm like, oh my god, Noness,
Speaker 1: I think that we have such a good relationship for lucky,
Speaker 1: So I know, I don't think so. I think now also,
Speaker 1: we come to mom about a lot of things, and
Speaker 1: like we I mean, obviously Maddie and I have our
Speaker 1: have our things that we keep to eat ourselves because
Speaker 1: obviously that's sisters. But I feel like we talked to
Speaker 1: you about a lot of things. Yeah. No, I I'm
Speaker 1: really lucky, like I in this world that we live in.
Speaker 1: In this town. I mean, it could get really crazy,
Speaker 1: but we're I'm lucky, and we all kind of deal
Speaker 1: with anxiety kind of in the same way, so it's
Speaker 1: really easy to talk to each other about it. Like,
Speaker 1: especially me, I've been dealing with really bad anxiety for
Speaker 1: the first time as like a young adult. I feel like, like,
Speaker 1: this is the worst it's been since I was younger.
Speaker 1: So you've definitely like helped me do that a lot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I went through the same thing and I still yeah,
Speaker 1: exactly what's the hardest part about us growing up? You
Speaker 1: growing up and going away and I just like it
Speaker 1: breaks my heart. No, I mean it's actually good because
Speaker 1: I'm so proud of you. I know that you guys
Speaker 1: are good. But I always want you to want me,
Speaker 1: you know. But I feel like our relationship got better
Speaker 1: once I moved out, though, because then I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, it it made me realize how much
Speaker 1: I still need you, you know. I love I love
Speaker 1: when I think it's funny when I would go to
Speaker 1: the grocery store and to pick you stuff up and
Speaker 1: You're like, I have my own money, you don't have money.
Speaker 1: And then I stopped doing it, and then You're like,
Speaker 1: are you going to or or she like buys another
Speaker 1: thing of toilet paper and I'm like, we don't need
Speaker 1: this much toilet paper. She's like, no, no no, no, I'm
Speaker 1: bringing it to Maddie and I was like, no, I'd
Speaker 1: leave it out there for Maddie when she comes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: It's it's very sweet. But I'm wondering because I wonder
Speaker 1: how you're going to be That's what I'm saying. I'm well,
Speaker 1: I was it really hard on you for Maddie, Well,
Speaker 1: it definitely was because you were crying for weeks when
Speaker 1: she left, But do you think you're going to do
Speaker 1: the same thing for me? Are you? Just like, oh,
Speaker 1: I the first kid already left. So now I like understand.
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be harder for you because Maddie
Speaker 1: is different. And I I didn't cry for weeks for
Speaker 1: Maddie because she called me the first day like ten times. Right, Well,
Speaker 1: I'm going to do that too, which I love um.
Speaker 1: But no, I think you're going to be harder. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying because you're not going to lock your door
Speaker 1: and because Maddie probably locks her door ten times she
Speaker 1: checks and then you know what I'm thinking it's going
Speaker 1: to be hard on your mom was just like you
Speaker 1: went from obviously it was hard me leaving, but you
Speaker 1: still had Kenzie in the house, but you know now
Speaker 1: you're not gonna So I knew it was going to
Speaker 1: be hard. I was just wondering because I've I've talked
Speaker 1: to like a lot of parents about it, because I
Speaker 1: was curious, Like my friend's mom's like, when the first
Speaker 1: kid leaves, it's obviously really hard, But then I was like,
Speaker 1: how is it for the second kid? Are you just
Speaker 1: like you know, oh, it already happened, So like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm going to need heavy therapy, lots of die lots
Speaker 1: of diet coke, and lots of Hallmark movies. Listen, you're
Speaker 1: gonna have to be at my house telling me how
Speaker 1: to work the lobry Regine. I called her the other day,
Speaker 1: how do you do the dishes? Oh my Kensie, she
Speaker 1: did the dishwasher. I'm probably gonna be coming. I'll be
Speaker 1: I'll probably be your house like cleaner. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: You're gonna help me decorate my house. I'm so excited
Speaker 1: to help Kensey decorate. Okay, who is someone you admire
Speaker 1: and why mm hmm, well, I really I found it.
Speaker 1: This is gonna be really weird, but I really admire
Speaker 1: Steven Spielberg, Beau. I know this sounds really weird, but
Speaker 1: seeing him how amazing he is, and he treats everybody
Speaker 1: like they're equals and like kind and generous, and he
Speaker 1: knows everyone's name. I mean, it's pretty incredible. If you
Speaker 1: see people and you know how they're divas and he
Speaker 1: is so not a diva. I mean, he's really really
Speaker 1: someone that I look up to and admire. That's very sweet.

Speaker 1: But I'm really excited to like actually go to a
Speaker 1: different climate and go to snow and like have a change,
Speaker 1: because I think it will just be really fun. Right.
Speaker 1: And I think also when I was when I was younger,
Speaker 1: I didn't appreciate home that much. Like going back, I
Speaker 1: was just like, oh, it's so I feel so useless.
Speaker 1: I feel like this is not fun for me at all.
Speaker 1: But now when I go back, I'm like, it's so
Speaker 1: pretty here. Yeah, I know it. Now we can appreciate
Speaker 1: nature more. It feels like we're literally I know this
Speaker 1: is such a stupid thing to say, but not really,
Speaker 1: but I feel like we're it's like a bob Rass painting.
Speaker 1: Where we live. It's literally just like it's beautiful. It's
Speaker 1: just a bunch of happy little trees as well the
Speaker 1: most trees. First, a great neighbors, and we have you know,

Speaker 1: my god, that's one thing that our mom does that
Speaker 1: annoys me. She frames all of our dance photos. Oh,
Speaker 1: I was gonna say. I was going to say it
Speaker 1: annoys me. When we're all eating breakfast and we just
Speaker 1: woke up and we all look like a mess, and
Speaker 1: she takes the takes a photo of us and posted
Speaker 1: on our instagram. My favorite just when I was holding
Speaker 1: one of mom's hair extensions and like as a joke,
Speaker 1: and she posted it. I was like, Okay, she's like reminiscing.

Speaker 1: worry and like momure like literally no one could see
Speaker 1: this picture. It's simplerry funny. When Maddie, when you were born, Um,
Speaker 1: your path, Pap and I were really close. He passed now,
Speaker 1: but he used to come to work for six months
Speaker 1: because I didn't want anybody to bottle feed you or
Speaker 1: touch you. Guys, I'm really weird. Um. He would walk
Speaker 1: with you and then I would nurse, and then you
Speaker 1: would rock in the window. People would pass by and
Speaker 1: wave at you in the window and then Kenzie was born.
Speaker 1: I did the same thing with her. I never left
Speaker 1: you guys for like six months, the first sew months
Speaker 1: of your life. It was so it was like the
Speaker 1: best time. I remember that I had the whole wall
Speaker 1: of our office was filled with pictures of you guys.
Speaker 1: I mean it was probably a hundred photos. Kensie was
Speaker 1: literally like the face of your work, right, wasn't she
Speaker 1: Like You're on a billboard And I remember, like a
Speaker 1: few months ago, you were like, this is me and
Speaker 1: I was like, no, that was me on the billboard, Mattie. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was you, little chubby arms. That's one thing that
Speaker 1: we sometimes have to like look closely for it because
Speaker 1: like we look at our baby photos and I'll be like,
Speaker 1: is this Maddie or is this me? But when we
Speaker 1: were like baby babies, not like when we were like toddlers,
Speaker 1: we looked so different. It looks so cute, so dull
Speaker 1: eyes like okay, but sometimes I looked a little scary.
