Rachael Ray has launched her brand new podcast, “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead.” In her premiere episode, she gave us the scoop on her recent escapades, including a riveting health update that had us all on the edge of our kitchen stools.
At 56, our favorite culinary queen is living the dream—like, the dream where you become one with your mop! Rachael proclaimed, “I am a homemaker! I love chores! You know, the stuff that others avoid like a burnt soufflé. I mean, who doesn’t enjoy the sweet smell of disinfectant?” Apparently, her love for domestic bliss is stronger than her coffee!
“I really like chores,” she continued, sounding like the world’s most enthusiastic janitor. “What people consider physical work? I just call it Tuesday. I enjoy making dinners, planning dinners, and yes, making lists like I’m the CEO of Domesticity, Inc.”
But hold onto your mixing bowls—Rachael also revealed she’s had to pump the brakes on her physical prowess after a couple of “bad falls.” It seems that when she’s not busy whipping up gourmet meals, she’s competing in the extreme sport of wood carrying.
“I love to help carry in the wood! It’s my version of CrossFit,” she exclaimed, before dropping the bombshell about her recent tumbles. “I had a couple of bad falls in the last couple of weeks, so now I’m on a wood-carrying sabbatical. No more ‘Extreme Lumberjack’ for me!”
And if you thought that was the end of her competitive spirit, think again! Rachael added a twist that would make any game show host proud: “I turn it into a little competition with my husband, John Cusimano. ‘How many pieces of wood did John carry? Can I carry more? Am I secretly training for the Olympics?’ Of course, I don’t say that out loud to him; I just mumble it to myself while balancing on one leg.”
Rachael Ray, the domestic diva, is back in action, juggling chores, competition, and a few minor mishaps. If this podcast is any indication, she’s not just cooking up meals; she’s cooking up chaos—and we’re here for it!
