Speaker 1: Welcome to First Things First. I'm Brook Blett and my pronouns.
Speaker 2: Are she and her.
Speaker 3: I'm Maddie Mials my pronouns are he and him. And
Speaker 3: before we get started, we'd like to acknowledge the custodians
Speaker 3: of the land on which we record, and for me
Speaker 3: today it's the gatigle people of.
Speaker 4: The urination and for me it's a rounder people of
Speaker 4: the cooler nation.
Speaker 1: Let's get it today. We've got some.
Speaker 5: Superstars, very special guests.
Speaker 1: Yes, we've got paul Fasaci.
Speaker 3: Well, we've got Billy from Maiding Bondi.
Speaker 2: Hello.
Speaker 3: I mean you're so much more than Billy from Maiding
Speaker 3: Bondai and we're going to get to that multi fat
Speaker 3: but we're super excited to have you both on. First
Speaker 3: Things First. Obviously, Brooke and Paula in Melbourne. Billy and
Speaker 3: I are in Sydney. But this show that you're currently
Speaker 3: on is all about Bondai. Obviously it's a take on
Speaker 3: you know, Made in Chelsea, which is from the UK.
Speaker 3: How did you seen that show before, Billy?
Speaker 2: Yes, I had so. I actually went to UNI in
Speaker 2: London and as I was living there, season one came out, okay,
Speaker 2: and I was in love. I'm a reality television conners,
Speaker 2: so I love it all. So yes, big Chelsea fan
Speaker 2: from from way back.
Speaker 3: What about you, Paul?
Speaker 5: I actually hadn't seen it, so I remember when they
Speaker 5: reached out. I was really excited, but I didn't actually.
Speaker 2: Watch the show watch it.
Speaker 5: I knew about the show that I just never seen it. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and then as we started filming, I was like, I
Speaker 5: think I could actually watch this show. See what I was.
Speaker 1: Like walking into it.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I never watched Maiden Chelsea Sydney though with Isabella.
Speaker 2: Did you, Paul?
Speaker 5: No? I didn't. Actually I didn't even know they were
Speaker 5: in Sydney. But then so they did like a trip.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was like offshore season, so I should probably
Speaker 2: go back and watch it.
Speaker 3: So like Kim and Courtney take Mimi, Yes exactly that.
Speaker 3: I've heard some controversial things right, Oh yeah, well I reckon,
Speaker 3: we just dive straight into it. So what I heard
Speaker 3: is the show made in bond I was even filmed
Speaker 3: in Bondai.
Speaker 2: So this is my least favorite criticism. It was I
Speaker 2: swear there was an article in the Daily Telegraph called
Speaker 2: Made in Brightonlesands, like it's funny. I love that, but
Speaker 2: we didn't. I never personally ever filmed in Brighton less sense.
Speaker 2: I'm sure it's lovely that Have.
Speaker 3: You ever been to Brighton? No, it's a very different
Speaker 3: place to BONDI let me tell you, if you go
Speaker 3: there after dark, it's even more different than Bondai.
Speaker 2: I've driven through it to go to Cogra because I
Speaker 2: had a client in Kogra. Yeah, and it looks lovely.
Speaker 2: That's where all the jet skis are. Yes, stunning.
Speaker 1: Paul, did you film in bright Less Ends or no?
Speaker 5: Everyone keeps asking us, you guys didn't film in Bondai.
Speaker 5: It's not in Bondai. But I think what people forget
Speaker 5: is it's a show not just about Bondai. Like, yeah,
Speaker 5: they use Bondai because it's such an iconic and like worldwide,
Speaker 5: like you know Bondai like you do know Sydney, But
Speaker 5: Bondai is like it's like Chelsea, Like it's not made
Speaker 5: in the UK in Chelsea. So I think everyone that's like,
Speaker 5: oh my god, you guys aren't even that they aren't
Speaker 5: allowed to film in Bondai. The first scene for me
Speaker 5: with Emma where we're out for drinks and I say
Speaker 5: I'm ready to find a husband that was in Bonda.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because it's like pretty much like selling a location, right,
Speaker 4: because like Maid in Chelsea is about like selling a
Speaker 4: lifestyle in Chelsea, and then I guess like Maid in
Speaker 4: Bondeau is about sort of like.
Speaker 1: Not selling a lifestyle.
Speaker 4: But you know what I mean, Like people in London
Speaker 4: will probably watch the Maid in Bondai one and be like,
Speaker 4: funk I want to.
Speaker 1: Live like on the beaches, Like this looks stunning.
Speaker 5: It's shot so beautifully and we both live in Sydney
Speaker 5: and like the way they've showed it, You're like, we
Speaker 5: live here, like this.
Speaker 2: Is so so sick. Yeah, yeah, And I think Maid
Speaker 2: in Bondau was like it was named for a British
Speaker 2: audience as well, like named in Vocalist doesn't doesn't hit
Speaker 2: with the international audience absolutely. Well.
Speaker 3: What I when I first heard the name Maide in Bondai,
Speaker 3: I thought it was about people who grew up and
Speaker 3: were born on the Eastern suburbs and maybe grew up
Speaker 3: in Bondai because you know of the title of the show,
Speaker 3: but did you grow up in bonde I w don't know.
Speaker 3: Come from? What is your background and why are you
Speaker 3: so connected to Bondai?
Speaker 2: I've been dragged for this since day one because I'm
Speaker 2: in Perth, way away from Bondi. Yeah, and then I
Speaker 2: did union in London, lived in Melbourne for five years.
Speaker 2: Now I'm in Sydney. But I feel like that is Bondai.
Speaker 2: Like no one in Bondai is from Bondai. It's such
Speaker 2: a transient place. It's like backpackers, people that have come
Speaker 2: from all over. So that kind of describes Bondai to me.
Speaker 2: But absolutely not. I was not made, conceived in Bondai,
Speaker 2: made in Perth.
Speaker 3: What about you?
Speaker 5: I was born in Melbourne. I only recently moved to
Speaker 5: Sydney in March actually, so I'm a new Sydney But
Speaker 5: she's fresh. She's fresh.
Speaker 4: But you're like, from what I know of your like
Speaker 4: lifestyle and from all your work, is that you're in
Speaker 4: Sydney like every week.
Speaker 5: Well, like I remember when we would work together, just
Speaker 5: being Melbourne, I'd always be back and forth.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all the time.
Speaker 5: The move was always there, and then it just kind
Speaker 5: of all fell into place and all just felt right.
Speaker 5: Now I'm the Sydney boy.
Speaker 3: What are you enjoying your time in Sydney?
Speaker 5: I am, I love it. I'm in Surrey Hills and
Speaker 5: not Bonda either.
Speaker 1: Made in Surrey Hills.
Speaker 4: Doesn't hear Flurry Hills, that's the knockoff.
Speaker 3: Well, I want to ask how it all came about. Look,
Speaker 3: there are so many different people on this show. I'm
Speaker 3: not going to say it is the show that cast diversely,
Speaker 3: but what I will say is that there's a lot
Speaker 3: of different people on this show. How did you guys
Speaker 3: get cast? And did you know each other before?
Speaker 5: So they approached me last year to kind of there
Speaker 5: was this new show that was coming around and they
Speaker 5: really wanted me to be on it. So we started
Speaker 5: the process and then I got cast. Me and Emma
Speaker 5: Pills who's on the show. We were friends before the show,
Speaker 5: and they cast us both. The way the kind of
Speaker 5: made in Bondi and Made in Chelsea works is there's
Speaker 5: all different friendship groups and how it starts and then
Speaker 5: we all kind of meet each other and then become
Speaker 5: one big group. I'd got cast and then they I
Speaker 5: really wanted another friend kind of to be to come
Speaker 5: along with that journey with me, and I didn't want
Speaker 5: to be the only kind of.
Speaker 2: Person. Yeah he needed homosexual energy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I certainly bring that.
Speaker 5: I think as well, Like there's so many shows that
Speaker 5: just had that one queer, all that one gay guy,
Speaker 5: that one lesbian, and it's just like it's not I
Speaker 5: didn't want that for this show.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you have to really like amplify yourself as well,
Speaker 4: like when you are that one person who is just
Speaker 4: so frustrating.
Speaker 5: Sydney, Like it's so diverse and there's so much going
Speaker 5: on in Sydney. So yeah, I put Billy forward and
Speaker 5: then Billy was calm Billy Star was born.
Speaker 3: Well, man, let me just say before the show, you're
Speaker 3: absolutely a star because obviously you have your own PR company,
Speaker 3: you're you know, you've worked with really high profile people.
Speaker 3: What was it about the show that you wanted to
Speaker 3: be why you wanted to be part of it?
Speaker 2: So, as Paul said, I wasn't an original cast member.
Speaker 2: I came months later as a friend of like I
Speaker 2: was Kathi Hilton. And the way that it like it
Speaker 2: started was very much my work was involved. So that's
Speaker 2: how Paul and I know each other. We work together
Speaker 2: a lot. So it was for me it was a
Speaker 2: really good opportunity to talk about my business on an
Speaker 2: international platform. My business is only two years old, so
Speaker 2: I was like, this is great. Plus I love reality
Speaker 2: TV and the idea of going to brunch with a camera.
Speaker 2: I was like, I hate that. So there was some
Speaker 2: work stuff involved. I thought it would be great to
Speaker 2: push my work, but also just fabulousness. Yeah, I love that, and.
Speaker 5: I think we both said I think it was halfway
Speaker 5: through filming, were like, this is so crazy that this
Speaker 5: is what we're doing right now. Even if the show
Speaker 5: didn't go to air or didn't have any success, like
Speaker 5: for us, it was just like, this is such a
Speaker 5: great experience.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was fun, and there was some really hard
Speaker 2: bits too where we were both like winging. I'm like,
Speaker 2: oh no, I need to be grateful because this is
Speaker 2: so amazing. But it was hard work, like both of
Speaker 2: us running out businesses as well as dedicating a full
Speaker 2: day to having coffee and talking.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what does the day filming look like?
Speaker 2: There were long days because obviously it's shot so beautiful,
Speaker 2: so everything's very considered, so yeah, very long hours.
Speaker 5: It's based on our lives, so like just say there's
Speaker 5: one week where Billy might be hosting his birthday for
Speaker 5: his business, then obviously the lead up to that he'll
Speaker 5: have a lot more filming days, and then if say
Speaker 5: there's a big drama scene or there's a champagne throne,
Speaker 5: then all of a sudden, it's like, all right, we
Speaker 5: need to have like a follow up because how made
Speaker 5: in Chelsea and made BONDI work. There's a lot of
Speaker 5: like breakfasts and dinners and catch ups where like you
Speaker 5: debrief about, oh my god, I can't believe that happens,
Speaker 5: and it kind of gives you depth into our characters
Speaker 5: as well.
Speaker 3: Was there any controversy with the cast, Like, were there
Speaker 3: any big fights that happened that were either exaggerated for
Speaker 3: the cameras or were they real? Like what's the gooss
Speaker 3: behind some of the tougher moments.
Speaker 2: There was definitely lots of controversial moments. I feel like
Speaker 2: I didn't get involved too much with that. Some people
Speaker 2: willing to do anything for five seconds more airtime, I mean,
Speaker 2: not so much. And Paul had his own little moment
Speaker 2: of controversy which we just saw in episode nine, yeah,
Speaker 2: which was fabulous.
Speaker 5: Kind of broke up with the Jacob who I was
Speaker 5: seeing on the show. Yeah, okay, yeah, so I broke
Speaker 5: up with him and he didn't take it too well.
Speaker 5: But as you can well as you know Brooke with editing,
Speaker 5: there's so much that actually happens in that scene and
Speaker 5: you get like three minutes of it. So yeah, it
Speaker 5: was that was probably like my most intense drama.
Speaker 4: But yeah, because you guys wouldn't have seen like the
Speaker 4: edits right, you would have filmed it and had a
Speaker 4: vision of like an idea of how what what what
Speaker 4: happened and how it went down, But then the show
Speaker 4: could be like, oh, yeah, no, that's not how it
Speaker 4: went down and changed so much, especially when it comes
Speaker 4: to like drama, because like people's reactions, I think that's
Speaker 4: where they get you is like oh, but they didn't
Speaker 4: actually react like that, Like yeah, they were reacting to
Speaker 4: that way to something else, but it wasn't exactly what
Speaker 4: I was, you know what I mean, Like they changed
Speaker 4: what things all the time.
Speaker 5: I remember after I told Jacob that he wasn't the
Speaker 5: one for me. He I remember I saw Billy and
Speaker 5: I was like, what the fuck was that? Like you
Speaker 5: just yeah, but onto bigger and better things.
Speaker 2: I'd say, yeah, I was there for that when that
Speaker 2: was filmed, and I was.
Speaker 3: To repeat anything, Yeah, can you break up with him?
Speaker 3: Three or four times? Just the extra shot.
Speaker 2: Sometimes we had to like condense things down, like if
Speaker 2: we waffled on, they're like, okay, that's way too somewhat yeah,
Speaker 2: but yeah they showed me up, well, Paul showed me
Speaker 2: away when they were breaking up, Like I was going
Speaker 2: to stand there and like I loved interfering with their relationship.
Speaker 2: And then I was trying to listen at the door
Speaker 2: when they were breaking up, but the producers chased me away,
Speaker 2: so I didn't get to watch alive until when it aired.
Speaker 3: You would have seen Brook break up with a lot
Speaker 3: of people on The Bachelorette, So did you have that
Speaker 3: in the back of your mind of like, Okay, well,
Speaker 3: I'm doing exactly what I've seen happen on reality TV before,
Speaker 3: and you understanding that there's going to be an edit,
Speaker 3: so you're choosing your words wisely.
Speaker 5: Well, for me, it was that I went on date
Speaker 5: with Jacob so like and for me, I was just like,
Speaker 5: this is going to be really seamless, like it is
Speaker 5: what it is. You not everything always works out, and
Speaker 5: it is that case of I've met someone else and
Speaker 5: he's my person and unfortunately doesn't brown.
Speaker 2: You don't get the last roads because I set Paul
Speaker 2: on Jacob.
Speaker 3: But can I see what's Jacob fail?
Speaker 2: I think you know him. He's got long hair, curly hair.
Speaker 1: And what does he do?
Speaker 2: He works with me. He works for Edwards and Coach,
Speaker 2: which is one of my clients. So him and I
Speaker 2: have worked together in an office like five years. So
Speaker 2: I was like, get married.
Speaker 1: Oh that's kind of cute.
Speaker 5: But also throughout the whole season, Billy and Emma medal
Speaker 5: in My Love Life, which is metal. Yeah, on the
Speaker 5: first episode, Billy's got me on the edge of the
Speaker 5: cliff screaming, oh yeah, demons out. But yeah, I know,
Speaker 5: I'm very happy in a relationship and ship now, so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it works out everything.
Speaker 2: So Jacob was having drinks in Surrey Hill and Paul
Speaker 2: walked by holding hands with the new one. I'm like,
Speaker 2: that's so but that wasn't on the show. But I'm like,
Speaker 2: the real life drama's juicier than the show.
Speaker 3: That would have been such a good moment to capture.
Speaker 2: It was Paul was going to yell at me later.
Speaker 3: Well, Paul, I always thought that you were like more
Speaker 3: shy and more like of an introvert. But to go
Speaker 3: on a show like this, you have to be out
Speaker 3: there you have to be like a bit of an extrovert,
Speaker 3: don't you sow How has it been for you to.
Speaker 5: Be more ext For me, I've obviously been being a stylist.
Speaker 5: I've always been the guy behind the scenes, and then
Speaker 5: as of recent years, I think I've kind of that's
Speaker 5: kind of shifted a little bit too, and it's been styling.
Speaker 5: But then also Paul Visaci as me and like kind
Speaker 5: of getting in front of the camera has kind of
Speaker 5: kept growing. And then I remember when the show came about,
Speaker 5: I was like, you know what, this is something that
Speaker 5: I feel like is part of where I should be going,
Speaker 5: and like, I like that it was an experience that
Speaker 5: I just never thought i'd do. But yeah, and even
Speaker 5: after doing the show, I see it in myself. I'm like, wow,
Speaker 5: I'm so much more like now when it's a piece
Speaker 5: to camera. I just had the brown Low this whole
Speaker 5: week in Melbourne and doing interviews and stuff, You're just
Speaker 5: so much more like, okay, like let's practice, and like
Speaker 5: just getting comfortable with being like camera on camera, I think,
Speaker 5: and like not being so critical of being and like
Speaker 5: seeing watching back and being like, oh, I remember when
Speaker 5: me and Billy watched the first episode back, Billy was
Speaker 5: spiraling for about a week.
Speaker 3: Oh not.
Speaker 5: Just because his skin tone changed in every scene.
Speaker 4: You know what?
Speaker 3: And you know what me too. Yeah, when they grade
Speaker 3: and they grade for a certain skin type, gee, all
Speaker 3: the rest of using we.
Speaker 4: Go red, I go orange, I go brown, I go blue.
Speaker 2: And it was really warm and I felt like my
Speaker 2: teeth looked yellow. Oh, because the warmth was really borough.
Speaker 2: I was devastating.
Speaker 5: I think definitely using the same fake tan throughout the
Speaker 5: season is a tip. Hey, Billy, shut up.
Speaker 3: So when you were spiraling, and when you first it's
Speaker 3: probably your first time seeing yourself in that light, Like,
Speaker 3: what does that? What goes through your head?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 3: Are you like? Is that what I really looked like?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 2: Very much so, because, like you know, when you hear
Speaker 2: your voice back, yeah, yeah, like seeing your voice and
Speaker 2: hearing your voice and seeing your face talking was so
Speaker 2: confronting because I don't see that. I haven't done any
Speaker 2: camera work before, so I was like, is that what
Speaker 2: I look like? Surely that's not what I look like.
Speaker 2: But I had to keep reminding myself, like that's what
Speaker 2: people have seen me as all along. Yeah, I only
Speaker 2: see that The curated Instagram billy face.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Absolutely.
Speaker 3: I think it's a shock. No matter no matter how
Speaker 3: long you've been in the business, when you see yourself
Speaker 3: on TV, you still get that little moment of like,
Speaker 3: oh I thought I was so much prettier than I've
Speaker 3: been fash.
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, and it's just seeing every angle of yourself
Speaker 5: as well.
Speaker 1: And it's not fun.
Speaker 2: Guys.
Speaker 1: I had my own fucking TV show. It's not fun.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So is it true that you're the only cast member
Speaker 3: that did an audition?
Speaker 2: I think so. Well. I don't know if they auditioned,
Speaker 2: but like it had like a casting process, but yeah,
Speaker 2: because I was a friend of and then came later.
Speaker 2: Mine was yea different.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I feel like most of the cast, well I
Speaker 5: can't speak for everyone, but I think a lot of
Speaker 5: the cast were kind of it was like, we really
Speaker 5: want that person. Then they would figure out like the ties,
Speaker 5: so like, yeah, everyone's always that it's all fake, like
Speaker 5: Lawson and Lawson was never with Molly. That was all produced,
Speaker 5: but they actually did sleep together and then that's how
Speaker 5: their characters kind of joined the show. It wasn't like
Speaker 5: the producer was like, loss in your cast, go sleep
Speaker 5: with Molly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'd actually.
Speaker 5: Want it on the show, and it was like even
Speaker 5: with me and Billy, it was like, all right, we
Speaker 5: need another quear. Hey, Billy come like it was like
Speaker 5: we were actually friends.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So they're finding the linkages then and then sort of
Speaker 4: producing from.
Speaker 5: There, even like with m Bella and Laws and the
Speaker 5: biggest question I even got yesterday in the foyer Crown,
Speaker 5: it's like, oh my god, Beller and Laws and actually together,
Speaker 5: but like that's a real relationship, but the way it's
Speaker 5: filmed and it's not, that's not a fake. Which is
Speaker 5: would you agree?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Completely, Like all the relationships and the dynamics are natural,
Speaker 2: but sometimes it comes across unnatural when you're doing it
Speaker 2: in front of a camber. Yeah, especially if you're not
Speaker 2: used to it.
Speaker 3: Do you ever have a producer in your ear going?
Speaker 3: I would like you to say this just to put
Speaker 3: some tension in there or to make something a little
Speaker 3: bit worse that it possibly is in real life.
Speaker 2: Not so much like I would like you to say this,
Speaker 2: but they would be like, have you considered this like
Speaker 2: plan to thought in your head? Okay, and you're like, no,
Speaker 2: I hadn't.
Speaker 3: But that's a great point. I'm going to tell them yeah, yeah, Brook,
Speaker 3: is this bringing back memories?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like PTSD, I'm sitting here, please don't. It's
Speaker 4: fun and I'm sure you guys had such an amazing experience,
Speaker 4: but I think when you're like the one person, it's
Speaker 4: not fun. And I feel like Paul has probably been
Speaker 4: in a similar situation where it's like so focused on
Speaker 4: your dating life in this experience where it was so
Speaker 4: focused on mine, and it's like so hard when you
Speaker 4: have so many voices like coming at you.
Speaker 5: It's like, my like line in all the press is
Speaker 5: Paul is not going to stop until he finds a husband,
Speaker 5: and it's like I have been dating, like yeah, this
Speaker 5: isn't my first time, but first radio for a show.
Speaker 5: It's like I'm this hopeless romantic.
Speaker 2: That's your character.
Speaker 5: That's my character trying to find a husband. But like yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: that stuff's always confronting too, because you're like, wait, am
Speaker 5: I this guy?
Speaker 1: You're so much more than that?
Speaker 5: Yeah, And you tell your friends and they're like, Paul,
Speaker 5: you do.
Speaker 2: My line was that I'm righteous and obsessed with Bowtop.
Speaker 2: Wait you give me some depth.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's annoying.
Speaker 4: So okay, two from now, Like are you guys, is
Speaker 4: there another season going to be coming or is it.
Speaker 2: It just dropped in the UK on Channel four last
Speaker 2: this morning? Oh yeah, it was last night, but this
Speaker 2: morning in real time? Is it the time difference?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Amazing.
Speaker 5: The exciting thing is not knowing kind of where the
Speaker 5: show could go. I think, like and having such a
Speaker 5: big following base in the UK. I think it's, as
Speaker 5: we said, it was made for the UK their audience,
Speaker 5: so like it's just another dose of reality and with
Speaker 5: a whole new set of faces, which is exciting. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think season two would be dependent on the reception
Speaker 2: in the UK.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, but I would do it?
Speaker 2: Would you do it? Paul?
Speaker 5: I want to see where Billie's love story.
Speaker 3: Goes and what is the commitment in terms of timing
Speaker 3: and for to film a show like this. Is it
Speaker 3: ten weeks? Is it twelve weeks?
Speaker 2: I think it was longer than that happened three to
Speaker 2: four months okay, yeah, yea, it's a long time because
Speaker 2: it's like sporadic.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's not like it's happening.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's not like five days a week for three months,
Speaker 5: like there'd be a week where I might film once. Yeah,
Speaker 5: but I do it. I loved it, Like you look
Speaker 5: back on it and like there were some funny moments
Speaker 5: like Billy driving his best better scenes.
Speaker 1: And would you both do anything different?
Speaker 5: One hundred percent? Like you watch it back, don't you
Speaker 5: reckon Bill it?
Speaker 2: And you're like, yeah, so many things.
Speaker 5: There's like because you're so guarded, not guarded, but like
Speaker 5: you're just very like conscious about what you say or
Speaker 5: like I don't want to get the villain at it.
Speaker 5: But like the thing is, the way the show is,
Speaker 5: it's not really that kind of show where it's like
Speaker 5: we hate that person. They like want you to love
Speaker 5: all the characters, but then also that love hate between
Speaker 5: the characters. Oh my god, I hate Ballad this week
Speaker 5: and then I love her next week.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you have to accept like yeah, like there's
Speaker 4: some things you have to do and say out of
Speaker 4: the show, but you realize your real thoughts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, yeah, I get that.
Speaker 2: I was a bit reguarded myself, Like I didn't really
Speaker 2: talk about my personal life all that much. I just
Speaker 2: got heavily involved with everyone else. So I think I'd
Speaker 2: be comfortable to be a bit more open about myself
Speaker 2: in season two because I now trust the process, like,
Speaker 2: you're not looking to exploit anyone.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Do you know who I think would be hilarious
Speaker 3: Your friend James Shoulders Vivian.
Speaker 2: Oh, James Vivian. Yeah, he would be hilarious.
Speaker 3: His personality would be made for this.
Speaker 2: He needs Steck to host something that's just so funny,
Speaker 2: so funny. I got Lucinda from Maps to start going
Speaker 2: and seeing two of them.
Speaker 3: Those two the two piece pod. It exactly met him
Speaker 3: once when we were at Wolf of Ward, but oh, yes,
Speaker 3: you know it was. I was just like, yeah, he
Speaker 3: would be so funny on this show. But I know
Speaker 3: that we're all big fans of reality TV. I'm big
Speaker 3: fans of the Real Housewives, and Brooke and I were
Speaker 3: talking about if we had to have a tagline, if
