We thought while we had you here,
we would take some questions about being
a mom from the audience.
And Kristen, we're doing--
and people, you should know this.
Because Dax is very good at love advice.
And he was here the other day, and he
was given some great advice.
You're great at mom advice.
So we're doing a digital show for Ellentube.
Look for that, that's coming up soon.
Oh, yeah.
It's called, "You're Doing It, Mom."
So you're going to help people with being a mom.
Oh!
That's awesome!
That's right, yeah.
Moms helping moms!
It's gonna be great.
That's awesome.
All right.
So we're going to take some questions.
Who's Susie?
Where's Susie.
Hi, Susie!
Hello!
Wearing that turquoise, Suze.
Yes!
My question is, what would you do if the first grade
teacher contacted you about your daughter's journal entry
about her favorite things?
And her favorite drink is Pabst Blue Ribbon beer,
and her favorite place is the local pub.
[LAUGHTER]
Well, you know-- take it away, KBell.
You got a show.
How old is she?
Well, she was six.
First grade.
Well, you know what?
I think you would first identify-- wow,
she's really attentive.
She's paying attention at home.
And then, I would, to be honest, seize the opportunity, and go,
maybe I'm also going to do things around the house that
set a good example.
Not that that's not a good example, because unwinding
is a fine example.
But you could use it as, you could just
put out a bowl of broccoli and be
like, oh, god, this broccoli.
So good!
I love this broccoli!
Understand that she's paying attention,
and use it to your advantage.
My kid likes wine, if that makes you feel any better.
[LAUGHTER]
Everybody's.
My kids ask for O'Doul's at the dinner table.
Which I can't say no, because it's
like a strict honesty policy.
And I'm like, there's not alcohol in it.
Because when we would walk with her at night,
my husband would hold an O'Doul's, because he likes
O'Doul's.
And then she would grab it, when she was six months,
and by the time she was 12 months, she would hold it.
And by the time she was a year and a half, she would drink it.
We'll sit down and make grilled cheeses.
And she'll be like, Mom, can you get me a beer?
I got no problem with it.
I love you, Susan.
[LAUGHTER]
I love her taste!
See you.
You're welcome.
All right!
We're gonna rethink that show we're doing with you.
[LAUGHTER]
All right.
[LAUGHS]
Ayesha!
Where's Ayesha?
Hi, Ayesha.
Hi!
What do you do for a living?
I work in nonprofit.
I've always worked with seniors, and I try to give back.
Oh, good for you!
Come on, seniors.
[APPLAUSE]
What is your question?
I don't really have a question.
But I just wanted to say thank you.
I'm a single mom.
And I was on the Mother's Day show two years ago,
and you literally changed my life.
Well, then, you come.
You come down here!
Ellen.
[APPLAUSE]
I changed your life?
You changed my life for the best.
It's been amazing.
Wow!
Hi!
[CHEERING CONTINUES]
I'm kind of crying.
Of course!
Why are you crying?
Oh, it's OK to cry.
Ayesha!
Come sit down.
I want to talk to you.
Hi.
I changed your life just because you were here
for the Mother's Day show?
Yeah.
You really did.
Sorry.
Wow.
Don't be sorry.
Yeah.
I'm a single mom, and it's been difficult.
And as much as I like to give back,
I don't have much to give.
But when I try to volunteer, I always
know that there's someone that's worse off than I am.
I watch your show, and people are
like pushing their cars to work, and there's
eight people in the apartment.
And for me and my daughter, as long as our bellies are full,
and I have a roof over my head, it's been just amazing.
That is so sweet.
Your mom must be so proud of you.
I hope so.
Yeah.
She is!
I'm pretty sure she is.
Mom, come on out!
Oh!
Hi, Mom.
Hi.
OK, and how old is your daughter?
She's two.
She's two years old.
Yes.
This was not random.
Your mom didn't happen to be backstage.
That would have been weird.
So you worked really hard to put yourself through college,
and now you're drowning in student loan debt.
You're struggling to keep up on bills.
You pay rent and daycare.
And last week, you only had $28 in your bank account.
Despite your struggles, you have spent your life
serving others, and volunteer your little bit of free time
to help the homeless and your community,
which is quite something.
I mean, you've just made me feel so bad about myself.
[LAUGHTER]
That's awesome what you do.
That is awesome.
So Mila has something for you.
Did you bring a present?
I did.
So our movie's all about celebrating moms,
and celebrating how hard it is to be a mom.
And so we just wanted to help you out a little bit,
because you deserve it.
Because you're an awesome mom, and you're an awesome mom.
So for you guys--
don't peek!
[LAUGHTER]
Oh, shut up!
It's no big deal.
Oh, my god!
All right, so $25,000.
[APPLAUSE]
Oh!
Oh, my god.
Oh, wow!
Thank you!
[CHEERING]
Thank you!
Well, wait a minute.
Wait.
Hold on!
I don't want to steal your thunder,
but our movie is about moms helping moms.
And it's specifically about Christmas.
And I feel like Christmas is the most stressful time,
because everyone's supposed to get gifts.
And you gotta put it on your cards.
You're right.
I feel like also, from us as well--
Don't look!
--buy some really nice Christmas presents!
Oh, my god!
[CHEERING]
So, is this one for me?
[LAUGHS]
You can share.
I'm sorry, guys.
Oh, yes.
I do not mean to be a downer, but I'm
feeling a little bit left out at the moment.
So I also--
Oh, my god!
[CHEERING]
Maybe you could use this as well.
$75,000!
Oh, my god!
Oh!
Oh, my god, you guys are good moms.
Wait.
This is my show, and how dare you?
I'm sorry, Ellen.
Oh, sorry.
Sorry.
All right.
So I also want to give you $25,000.
Oh, my god!
[CHEERING]
$100,000 from A Bad Moms Christmas!
Oh, my god!
[CHEERING]
