Speaker 1: Misspelling with Tori Spelling and iHeartRadio Podcast. Hi, Hi, Hi beautiful,
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. First of all, congratulations, are you
Speaker 1: you're doing June? Yeah, I just hit third primester today.
Speaker 1: According to one app, Oh gosh, I feel like not
Speaker 1: to jinx it, but like the third trimester gets easier.
Speaker 1: Oh earl easier? I heard them now because you can't move. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've heard them like in the calm part before the storm.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like up until for me, up until twenty weeks
Speaker 2: was really hard. And then I feel like the last
Speaker 2: you know, a couple of months have been like I
Speaker 2: had more energy.
Speaker 1: I'm not like anxious as like I was before. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of just things that kind of got easier.
Speaker 2: And now I heard it's about to get really shitty
Speaker 2: because I'll be so big that I'm uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I just lied to you. It's not
Speaker 1: the third trimester. It's the second trimester. Yeah, just when
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, I'm finally adjusting, your body's like nope,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get even bigger. So when did you guys
Speaker 1: find out you were having a little girl? So we
Speaker 1: I mean like I was like, give me the blood test.
Speaker 1: I want to find out immediately. Okay, well I think
Speaker 1: I was like nine weeks or something like that.
Speaker 2: So we we got engaged in the beginning of September
Speaker 2: and we jumped right into EUI like three weeks later,
Speaker 2: and we got really lucky, fortunate that it stuck. So
Speaker 2: found out I was pregnant a few weeks later, and
Speaker 2: then I was just like counting down the minutes until
Speaker 2: I could find out the sex. I don't understand people
Speaker 2: that just like waited out.
Speaker 1: I could never I did that all on all of them. No, Now,
Speaker 1: the first two we found found out and first was
Speaker 1: a boy, then a girl, so we're like, we got
Speaker 1: one of each. And I was like, when else are
Speaker 1: you going to have this big a surprise? You know
Speaker 1: when the doctor like pulls a baby out of your
Speaker 1: vagina and you're like it's a girl, it's a boy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So I'm like, cool, let's do it that way. But
Speaker 1: then everybody has an opinion when you don't find out,
Speaker 1: Like I remember my last one, everybody was like no, sorry,
Speaker 1: my fourth one, everybody's like, you're carrying a girl. You're
Speaker 1: carrying a girl. Like I remember being waddling into Valet
Speaker 1: once and He's like, oh, there's a girl in there
Speaker 1: and like grab my belly. I was like, and it
Speaker 1: was a boy. So they were all wrong. I had
Speaker 1: all the wrong clothes picked out. Do you feel like
Speaker 1: people just go in touch your belly? Yes? How do
Speaker 1: you feel about that? I hate it? I hate it.
Speaker 2: Like I'm so I'm a really social person, but there's
Speaker 2: something about pregnancy that's made me, I don't want to say,
Speaker 2: like antisocial, but just like here's my bubble, and my.
Speaker 1: Bubble pretty much my house.
Speaker 2: But like when I'm out, it's like my very best friends,
Speaker 2: I don't care of course, Like right, my best friend
Speaker 2: Zach and Brittany from the show, like they literally will
Speaker 2: like walk up, put their start talking to my belly.
Speaker 1: They're like faces on my belly, Like it's totally fine.
Speaker 2: But anyone outside of that small little group of like,
Speaker 2: it's it's just weird.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm like, did I ever used to
Speaker 1: do that to pregnant people? You probably didn't, Like I
Speaker 1: would I still because I have PTSD from people just
Speaker 1: like oh and just grabbing the belly. Like I still
Speaker 1: ask friends when they're pregnant, like can I touch And
Speaker 1: they're like, of course, and I'm like, no, I just
Speaker 1: want to be respectful, right, and especially you're recognizable, like
Speaker 1: so people see you on their fans and they're like.
Speaker 2: Ah, yeah, that's that's the hard part. I think that's
Speaker 2: why I've tried to like stay not like stay in
Speaker 2: as much as possible, because I don't want to be
Speaker 2: a bitch.
Speaker 1: Like I don't hurt anyone's feelings, and I'm trying to be.
Speaker 2: Like cool and kind to fans and viewers because but
Speaker 2: also like don't fucking touch me, especially in this time
Speaker 2: of my life.
Speaker 1: Yeah, touch me, I understand. And then way for it,
Speaker 1: it gets worse because then when you have the baby
Speaker 1: out in public, people think they can just touch your baby.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. And that was like no, it's like
Speaker 1: my biggest I did not know about the like don't
Speaker 1: kiss the baby thing, not that I think I would
Speaker 1: want to kiss the baby, yeah, just meaning like one
Speaker 1: we can, but like other people, I don't know. They're
Speaker 1: saying like you could have you might not even know
Speaker 1: you have like the simplest cold, or you might not
Speaker 1: know you have God forbid whatever, and you have a
Speaker 1: like new newborn, and then people want to come over
Speaker 1: and see the baby within the first couple of weeks,
Speaker 1: and they're like kiss They're like, don't let anyone kiss
Speaker 1: your baby. I'm like, okay, I mean, yeah, I'll be
Speaker 1: fucking kissed if someone like gives my kit's my baby sick.
Speaker 1: But I about that with strangers, not kissing my baby,
Speaker 1: but strangers just being out and feeling like they can puch.
Speaker 1: Like I've never been more protective over something that's not
Speaker 1: even here yet, because you're theirs now. Yeah, you're the
Speaker 1: world's now, and they think they can just go in.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, will'd you have a baby shower yet? No?
Speaker 2: I have two when I'm so not a party kind
Speaker 2: of girl. I'm not like a make it about meat
Speaker 2: or I don't celebrate my birthday. But I have My
Speaker 2: family's all back in Michigan, and so it's just like
Speaker 2: a few of them could fly out here, but it's
Speaker 2: like there's so many so it's a lot easier to
Speaker 2: have a small one there and then a big one here.
Speaker 1: So I have one at the end of March and
Speaker 1: one the end of April. Oh nice, will you do
Speaker 1: something in Colorado?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: Luke's family all there. No, he's from Indiana. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2: Well, he has property in Colorado, so he oh, got it? Okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: so he lived in Colorado before. Well still, I mean
Speaker 2: he still has seventy acres there.
Speaker 1: He lived, no family there, no, okay, got it. So
Speaker 1: his family they're going to be driving to Michigan. Actually,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, are you gonna move to Colorado? No?
Speaker 1: I just read it. It was the other day. I
Speaker 1: love those That was my favorite. It was like, Kristin
Speaker 1: and Luke are giving up the Valley and moving to
Speaker 1: see his family in Colorado, and I'm like, what the
Speaker 1: hell are you talking about? Never. I would never move
Speaker 1: to Colorado. I mean not right. It's fun to visit, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I is. I can't live like in the middle of nowhere,
Speaker 1: like permanently. We can have a house there, which is
Speaker 1: lovely and I love how online they allude to the
Speaker 1: fact that even if you move to Colorado that they'll
Speaker 1: still film season three there the valley. Yeah, as if
Speaker 1: it came from you, Like You're like, yeah, I'm still
Speaker 1: going to be on the show. They'll just film us there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: We're just going to follow me anywhere, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Yeah, I do. So you live I live
Speaker 1: in the Valley as well. Oh so I was very
Speaker 1: excited when when the show started because I was like, great,
Speaker 1: now they're in my hood. Yeah. Once I start having kids,
Speaker 1: I moved off the West side, Yeah, to the valley. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I can't go over the hill anymore. It gives me anxiety.
Speaker 2: I'm like working traffic people. I come over to the
Speaker 2: side so you can breathe peace.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I feel like there's really good restaurants here.
Speaker 1: It's more adult over here. Huh adult. Yeah. I think
Speaker 1: it's more so because it's not like, yeah, like if I.
Speaker 2: Go to West Hollywood, I know that I'm probably not
Speaker 2: just having like dinner and going home. Like my friends
Speaker 2: that are that still live over the hill are like
Speaker 2: where are we going to next?
Speaker 1: Where are we going to next?
Speaker 2: And it's like a two am night here, It's like
Speaker 2: I can do that or like go back to like
Speaker 2: a friend's house and like, oh, I'll have like some
Speaker 2: wine there, whatever, a couple drinks there.
Speaker 1: It feels more adult. Oh my gosh. I remember I
Speaker 1: just moved to the valley and we had our first
Speaker 1: born and and then there was a rap party form
Speaker 1: my reality show and they did it at Hamburger Mary's
Speaker 1: and who And I was what was that movie with
Speaker 1: Reese Witherspoon which's like, oh, you have a baby in
Speaker 1: a bar? That was me. I had my newborn like
Speaker 1: at Hambger Mary's and watching a drag show. But yeah, that.
Speaker 2: Sounds like a blast though, Like I would totally bring
Speaker 2: my baby to Hamburger Mary's.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was that mom, Like, you know, life still
Speaker 1: goes on. It's like, oh, he's sleeping and we're eating
Speaker 1: dinner at eight o'clock at night, like, and it was fine.
Speaker 1: And then I had my second and I was like great.
Speaker 1: In the first restaurant we went to, she screamed the
Speaker 1: entire time and we didn't go out for like another
Speaker 1: seven months. Now you have an adult. I have an adult,
Speaker 1: grow an adult. How is that crazy? Yeah, it's starting
Speaker 1: to like I didn't free I'm fifty one, Like fifty
Speaker 1: didn't freak me out as much as having an eighteen
Speaker 1: year old child freaks me out. Right. I can't even imagine.
Speaker 1: It's like it's fine, No, I'm just kidding because I
Speaker 1: used to see those moms that had teens and they
Speaker 1: look at me with my little ones and they'd be like, oh,
Speaker 1: it goes so fast. Don't blink. You're so lucky. And
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I have tons of time before
Speaker 1: they're teenagers. It really goes really quickly, that's what you're hearing.
Speaker 1: They're like the newborn time goes so fast, and then
Speaker 1: you blink in their wand and then they're like walking
Speaker 1: and talking, and then it's kindergarten and I'm like, wait
Speaker 1: when they're eighteen and then they're changing your diapers and
Speaker 1: then you.
Speaker 2: Know, like, am I the only one who doesn't like
Speaker 2: being pregnant? It's not my favorite thing? But I like, no,
Speaker 2: I'm really like, it's it's a meaning.
Speaker 1: I loved it. I'm really excited.
Speaker 2: I'm happy. I'm not like, what the hell was I thinking?
Speaker 2: I'm so stoked, But it's just I don't know. I
Speaker 2: think I don't know if it was like expectation versus
Speaker 2: reality or what it was, or or maybe it's just
Speaker 2: my age too, like it's.
Speaker 1: Harder or different, and I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1: It's just it. It's weird. It's very it's much better now.
Speaker 2: Like I said, so, I'm speaking more of like the
Speaker 2: beginning of my pregnancy, but it wasn't really.
Speaker 1: Like the whole sick thing. I think it was a.
Speaker 2: Lot of like anxiety. And then when I had people
Speaker 2: start asking me like, oh, are you afraid of giving birth?
Speaker 1: Or like are you scared of labor? I'm like, well
Speaker 1: I kind of wasn't and now I'm having Yeah, now
Speaker 1: I'm freaking out a little bit. Yeah. And then people
Speaker 1: go deeper than that and they're like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: aren't you worried You're going to poop on the table? Oh?
Speaker 1: I hear it all the time. Yeah. The first time
Speaker 1: someone said that to me, I was like, Nope, didn't
Speaker 1: know about that. Is that a thing?
Speaker 2: And it is apparently a thing? Well you would know, Yeah,
Speaker 2: it is a thing. I'm like, okay, I mean that's
Speaker 2: the worst that happens during giving birth, Like, God bless it.
Speaker 1: That's fine with me. Oh my gosh, No, I had
Speaker 1: mine ended up being c sections, but I had that fear.
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, like that's crazy. Yeah, it's a
Speaker 1: weird thing.
Speaker 2: I have a lot of Strangely, I don't know if
Speaker 2: everyone gets pregnant and then they always have pregnant friends,
Speaker 2: but I actually do have like a lot of pregnant friends.
Speaker 1: Right now, and a handful of.
Speaker 2: Them are all sea section moms because they either were
Speaker 2: the first one or that's what they're choosing, or they
Speaker 2: need to or whatever it is. Most of them, it
Speaker 2: was a long labor first pregnancy ended up in an
Speaker 2: emergency sea section. So then I'm talking to my doctor like,
Speaker 2: do I just want to do that or is that
Speaker 2: not a good idea? And he's like, obviously, no, surgery
Speaker 2: is always like if you can just choose that, He's like,
Speaker 2: but totally, if that's what you want, whatever you want.
Speaker 2: I'm like, maybe it's just that, I don't know, it's
Speaker 2: just very wild.
Speaker 1: The whole experience. Well I never did it the natural way,
Speaker 1: so I don't know. But sea sections are brutal, Like
Speaker 1: the recovery is really brutal. It's yeah, it's a lot,
Speaker 1: and I don't know how many kids you guys want,
Speaker 1: but once you do two C sections, the rest have
Speaker 1: to be right. Yeah, I mean, if which I didn't know,
Speaker 1: or I would have done the feedback. Oh interesting, I
Speaker 1: think so, just I don't know. You're like, who knows,
Speaker 1: but almost all your friends have kids. Yeah, so that's
Speaker 1: a good thing. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're all like turning four in the next three months.
Speaker 2: All of the girls like that that we're on the
Speaker 2: show that are all my friends, and then yeah, the
Speaker 2: handful of friends I have that are about to give birth.
Speaker 2: So I'm very lucky in that way because I think
Speaker 2: before like the pandemic and all of my friends having
Speaker 2: babies during the pandemic, I had not been around like
Speaker 2: a newborn or like helped care for a newborn in
Speaker 2: so many years. Like my niece and nephew are adults.
Speaker 2: So I was like, oh my god, this is going
Speaker 2: to be really wild. But now I feel like I
Speaker 2: just have so much hands on experience and being able
Speaker 2: to watch my friends like go through their pregnancies or
Speaker 2: raise their babies, like it becomes that part of it
Speaker 2: and made it a lot less scary for me because
Speaker 2: I'm like, Okay, I'm literally a bit like hands on
Speaker 2: watching my friends have no idea, and they're like, it.
Speaker 1: Just comes to you. It just comes. Just just it'll happen.
Speaker 1: I'm like, what about breastfeeding, I don't know what I'm doing.
Speaker 1: They're like, it'll just you'll just know. Just don't take
Speaker 1: advice from anybody. No, people always give me advice. I know, no,
Speaker 1: And that's why when people are like, give me advice.
Speaker 1: I'm like, nope, it's such an individualized experience in each
Speaker 1: pregnancy that I never And that's always the big thing.
Speaker 1: I'm sure you get this all the time, like, oh,
Speaker 1: is Brittany giving you advice? Like for me, they'd be like,
Speaker 1: are you're nine to two and o castmates giving advice?
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, yeah, Britain, That's the thing I've asked,
Speaker 2: especially Brittany like a lot. Only advice I would say
Speaker 2: she's ever given me is like, don't waste money on
Speaker 2: shoes when they're newborns, Kristin, you.
Speaker 1: Have to is to write a passage.
Speaker 2: I mean, she probably bought her son CRUs like twenty
Speaker 2: pairs of air Jordans that were like new size, and
Speaker 2: she goes that was the biggest waste of money. However,
Speaker 2: she's already bought my daughter her first two pairs, so
Speaker 2: I'm like, perfect because they become an art collection.
Speaker 1: Right, That's what I think.
Speaker 2: Her closet's full, Like I didn't know her furniture yet
Speaker 2: and her closet is backed.
Speaker 1: Really I'm really excited. I just love that. So I
Speaker 1: have to say I have watched you on vander Pump
Speaker 1: Rules originally and I used to love your hair, like
Speaker 1: I used to love your look, your short hair. Do
Speaker 1: you think you'll ever cut it again?
Speaker 2: If I get really skinny again, then I would like
Speaker 2: my girl. My friend Rihanna cut my hair out that
Speaker 2: long ago, and she was.
Speaker 1: Like, okay, what are we doing? And I'm like, I'm
Speaker 1: getting my extensions, my longer ones put back in, but
Speaker 1: like I just need some shape or something. And we're
Speaker 1: talking about my pregnancy and she was like, don't fucking
Speaker 1: cut all your hair off. I will kill you.
Speaker 2: Do not cut all your hair off until you get
Speaker 2: really skinny. Like you're not wrong, that's yeah. I mean
Speaker 2: like so maybe one day, but.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, your hair is just dark and short,
Speaker 1: like I used to like, girl crush on you all
Speaker 1: the time. Thank you so much. Yeah, Like I'm not
Speaker 1: into girls, but when I used to watch that show,
Speaker 1: I'd be like, oh, if I were ever to make
Speaker 1: out with a girl, that's my vibe and it was
Speaker 1: your look. Yeah, oh my gosh, way to make me blush. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think if I could. If I God, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: Why I don't know why it keeps going on. It's
Speaker 1: literally like toy podcast. Okay now, we're all done with alarms.
Speaker 1: I can't like my pregnancy brain. Oh that's real, by
Speaker 1: the way, Oh, pregnancy brain is so real. Never goes away,
Speaker 1: never Like that is just I feel like I'm just
Speaker 1: giving you bad news to im, like worried about pooping
Speaker 1: on the table. Pregnancy Brain's never going away. It's the
Speaker 1: real real though, you know, fugar coating show you. When
Speaker 1: I did get advice was breastfeeding. I never could get
Speaker 1: them to like latch on. So my friends would come
Speaker 1: over and they bring like a beer because you're supposed
Speaker 1: to have one beer to get the milk flowing. Amazing
Speaker 1: love that. Yeah, So I did take that advice because
Speaker 1: I was like I don't know how to do this. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I literally like I don't know what and they'll like
Speaker 1: show you in the hospital and then they just like
Speaker 1: let you free into the world and You're like, I
Speaker 1: don't know what to do here there with the baby.
Speaker 2: I'm like, can I take one of you home with
Speaker 2: me and to like teach me the ways? I mean,
Speaker 2: I'm fully planning on having a night nurse because I
Speaker 2: need the assistance.
Speaker 1: I fought against that, you did, yeah, because I didn't
Speaker 1: want to. I was like Oh, that's so bougie, and
Speaker 1: like people expect me to have that, so I'm not
Speaker 1: going to have that. I did have it, and she's
Speaker 1: still like part of our family, Like it saved my life.
Speaker 1: That's exactly what it was.
Speaker 2: I'm like, I really want to like find someone that
Speaker 2: I can carry with us for like at least a
Speaker 2: period of time.
Speaker 1: Obviously I don't know what. I don't know, but I
Speaker 1: do know me and.
Speaker 2: I know like I'm mostly just nervous about being nervous,
Speaker 2: like of being unsure. So if I just have that
Speaker 2: like you're doing it right, it's fine. Type of a
Speaker 2: type of a cheerleader right there, or like a teach
Speaker 2: me cheerleader, that'll be really helpful.
Speaker 1: The best thing is to you'll see your fiance change
Speaker 1: her poop for the first time and knows be like, yep,
Speaker 1: you're welcome, yeah, because it's so funny the first time.
Speaker 1: They're just like, oh my god.
Speaker 2: I asked him that the other day because he Luke
Speaker 2: was like, I think we should take a baby class,
Speaker 2: and I was like, what people still do that?
Speaker 1: I don't know, And I was like, what kind of
Speaker 1: Mamma's I mean?
Speaker 2: I was literally thinking back to like full house, like
Speaker 2: family matters.
Speaker 1: Dace so like Lama's classes on like sitcoms in the nineties,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, what kind of class do you want
Speaker 1: to take? He's like, I don't know, just like one
Speaker 1: that teaches me things. But I'm like, do you know
Speaker 1: how to change a diaper?
Speaker 2: He goes, well, yeah, I mean it's been probably like
Speaker 2: six or seven years.
Speaker 1: But I was like, but you have changed a diaper before?
Speaker 1: He said he has six or seven years ago. Who's
Speaker 1: diapers a nephew? Okay, But I'm like, you didn't live there,
Speaker 1: have you. Now? I'm like, has he actually changed a diaper?
Speaker 1: I don't know, don't shame, I know he probably yeah.
Speaker 1: And then it's just like with little girls. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's a whole new world for even us women when
Speaker 1: we are changing it. And I just remember we used
Speaker 1: to call it poop up the puss because yeah, the
Speaker 1: poop just comes to the diaper and goes up and
Speaker 1: you're like, whoa, I'm cleaning from front to back, what's
Speaker 1: going on here?
Speaker 2: Or then just a little swipe like you really got
Speaker 2: to get it there. But I feel so I always
Speaker 2: wanted boys. I don't know why that was just like
Speaker 2: I think because you're.
Speaker 1: Such a girl's girl. Yeah, and I say that as
Speaker 1: a fan.
Speaker 2: I wasn't the easiest, Like I'm number two of three,
Speaker 2: I have an older sister, younger brother, And I wasn't
Speaker 2: like a bad kid, like I didn't get in like
Speaker 2: real real trouble, but like I was very sassy, mouthy,
Speaker 2: like insubordinate, like snuck out, like like very rebel without
Speaker 2: a cause, like I want to wear blue lipstick and
Speaker 2: ca the necklaces and chains at like twelve.
Speaker 1: You know, my mom's like, what the fuck's going on?
Speaker 2: Changing my identity every three seconds. So I was really
Speaker 2: nervous about having a girl. So I'm like, I just
Speaker 2: want two boys. That's all I want, is like two
Speaker 2: boys and call it a day. And then when I
Speaker 2: found out I was pregnant with her, I'm like, you
Speaker 2: know what, there's no one better suited on this planet to.
Speaker 1: Raise a little me than me. I have this on lockdown.
Speaker 2: I know exactly what to do with her, Like if
Speaker 2: she's exactly.
Speaker 1: Like me, hopefully she's like too. But so you're a
Speaker 1: middle child. Yeah that explained a lot from viewing you
Speaker 1: on the show. Oh yeah, like to a tea absolutely.
Speaker 1: Do you feel like you're a people pleaser? Yes, Oh
Speaker 1: my god.
Speaker 2: It's just I have these like different facets where I'm
Speaker 2: there is that like one of my old executive producers
Speaker 2: used to be like called me a rubble a lot,
Speaker 2: and he.
Speaker 1: Was like, you just don't fucking care. He's like, you
Speaker 1: really don't.
Speaker 2: He's like because he goes I as just like a person,
Speaker 2: not a producer.
Speaker 1: He goes, I care what people think. He's like, you
Speaker 1: really don't fucking care.
Speaker 2: So I have that part of me that's really like
Speaker 2: social justice, like I'm gonna bring you know, like I
Speaker 2: need a cause to fight for and like damn the man,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna bring that person down, and like I'm gonna
Speaker 2: lift up the underdog. So I have that part, but
Speaker 2: then I also am very much a people pleaser.
Speaker 1: Well I wish I had I'm a people pleaser, but
Speaker 1: I wish I had that other side where more of
Speaker 1: a fighter. Yeah, it's just it's only or I wish
Speaker 1: I had a friend like you. Yeah, I'll fight people
Speaker 1: for you don't. Like metaphorically speaking, I'm not like a
Speaker 1: fist kind of girl anymore. But yeah, I just stay
Speaker 1: anymore anymore. Got into a fight before. Not with a girl, No,
Speaker 1: never with a boy. Oh my Pools is bad. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's like I don't really fight people on my
Speaker 1: own behalf, like I don't care, like like it's so
Speaker 1: boring to me.
Speaker 2: But if you come after like my friends, my family,
Speaker 2: my man, like you come after anything like that, like
Speaker 2: that's it, Like you've now crossed the line. And I'm
Speaker 2: just it's like, that's why I feel like I've always
Speaker 2: meant to be a mom. I have this like mama
Speaker 2: bear mentality, like I will protect at all costs and
Speaker 2: I will win, like I will always win that battle.
Speaker 1: Right because you already with your friend group, you already
Speaker 1: do it again. I'm talking like I know you wait,
Speaker 1: that's this feels so weird. I love reality TV so much,
Speaker 1: Like honestly, like an A list movie star could walk
Speaker 1: by and I'd be like, I don't care if it's
Speaker 1: Brad Pitt, like George Clooney, whatever, but anyone that's on
Speaker 1: a reality TV show, I'm like, oh, yeah, when you
Speaker 1: did it, did it change your perception at all? A
Speaker 1: little bit? Yeah? A little bit? But each show's so different.
Speaker 1: Oh true, So but I definitely, you know, have watched
Speaker 1: your shows, and I'm trying to piece together like not
Speaker 1: I don't want to say not real because we know
Speaker 1: everything's real, but.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean everything isn't always real because you can't.
Speaker 2: I mean I will say everything I do and say
Speaker 2: is very real. Just logistically, they have to plan stuff.
Speaker 1: People. I think people think that like, oh, they just
Speaker 1: happen to like walk into this restaurant, sit down and eat.
Speaker 1: It's like no, they have to producers have to call
Speaker 1: the restaurant and like get yeah they do. Yeah.
Speaker 2: People do kind of think that like there's just like, oh,
Speaker 2: they're just following us down the street, but they didn't,
Speaker 2: like as if it's like a one shot show. But
Speaker 2: then they just cut those in between. You're like, no,
Speaker 2: it's not like twenty four to seven. That's a good point.
Speaker 2: I don't think people do really said like we don't
Speaker 2: want to ruin the magic for you. But there are
Speaker 2: amazing crews that also have to work on this show
Speaker 2: that they do a lot.
Speaker 1: For sure. Definitely, I just feel like, yeah, I would
Speaker 1: never have survived your show, like I would have been terrified.
Speaker 1: I don't think a lot of people wish to be
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, that's why I always said, like the
Speaker 1: Real Housewives, I couldn't. I don't think I could do that. Like,
Speaker 1: you know, they all sit at these dinner parties and
Speaker 1: like attack each other, and I'm like, oh, I don't
Speaker 1: think I could do that.
Speaker 2: I don't think I could ever do Housewives, Like they
Speaker 2: scared me too, Like it just general is an overhaul
Speaker 2: and I don't know it just it's not my thing
Speaker 2: to just be like full blown on attack.
Speaker 1: I feel like I attack the people who attack. That's
Speaker 1: the that's.
Speaker 2: Like if you're attacking people and being like unnecessarily cruel
Speaker 2: or mean or rude or or something like that, Like
Speaker 2: that's when I go on the attack and I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 2: let's bring you down a few notches.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, wait, can I ask you a question?
Speaker 1: When the Valley started, how did that? Like? Who was
Speaker 1: the first? It was Jackson Brittany that moved first. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: they did move first. It was all within within months,
Speaker 1: within like four months.
Speaker 2: It was like Jackson Brittany, I think, then Tom and Ariana,
Speaker 2: and then Tom and Katie and then we in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2: We all moved within a span.
Speaker 1: Of like four months. But not to do the show
Speaker 1: the Valley because you guys orally you want it to move.
Speaker 2: That was just during that was still during the vander
Speaker 2: Pump Rules, like pre pandemic, it was okay, okay, I
Speaker 2: think it was like, yeah, it was like Brittany was
Speaker 2: about to get pregnant. I think it was just at
Speaker 2: the point like we could all afford it, and it
Speaker 2: was like when what if this doesn't last forever? Like
Speaker 2: what if this show doesn't which the show's not going
Speaker 2: to last forever, like and these opportunities we need to
Speaker 2: like really take this and do something smart with our money,
Speaker 2: and like why are we still renting in West Hollywood?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I never did that. I was never smart. It
Speaker 1: was hard.
Speaker 2: I mean I did it by myself, which was really difficult,
Speaker 2: and I think it was I mean, I know everything,
Speaker 2: I will truly believe everything happens for a reason. But
Speaker 2: I think my one regret in my adult life was
Speaker 2: letting my house go, like selling my house. I think
Speaker 2: I should have kept it, but I was dating someone
Speaker 2: at the time who like had his own house, and
Speaker 2: it was like I lost my job on Vanner Pumt
Speaker 2: and it was like, well, this just probably makes more sense.
Speaker 1: Let's just sell it and move in with you. And
Speaker 1: then it was like six.
Speaker 2: Months later we broke up and I was searching for
Speaker 2: a little apartment again.
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh god, here we go back to square one.
Speaker 1: I think that was like, yeah, the things we do
Speaker 1: for boys, oh boys, not so so your engagement will
Speaker 1: that be shown? I have boys, not men. I always
Speaker 1: call them boys. I never call them men men, but
Speaker 1: I call us girls. I don't say women. Yeah we
Speaker 1: are girls. That's true. Okay, I don't know, it just
Speaker 1: feels cute. But will your engagement be on this season?
Speaker 1: Season two? Yeah, I'm very excited.
Speaker 2: I've seen like a tiny little smidgeon of a clip
Speaker 2: of just like the camera angles and the lighting and
Speaker 2: that kind of thing, and it's so pretty. It's so beautiful,
Speaker 2: and I mean it's on the trailer. The only thing
Speaker 2: I hate, Like it's on the trailer in the very beginning,
Speaker 2: and the first thing I say is oh fuck. I
Speaker 2: was like that's so real, Like why Kristin, Like why
Speaker 2: wasn't it this like bachelor moment of like oh in
Speaker 2: the ring and like all the fairy fairy tale book
Speaker 2: type things.
Speaker 1: See. No.
Speaker 2: My response was like I turn around, having no idea
Speaker 2: that he's sat on one knee on a boat and I'm.
Speaker 1: Just like it, just like that's so romantic. Good job, Kristen.
Speaker 1: Of course me like knowing reality TV, I was like
Speaker 1: screenshotting it zooming in like no she does, Like you
Speaker 1: can always tell them. People are like I had no
Speaker 1: idea it was happening. And then they have like beautiful
Speaker 1: nails done and like so much glam socially on TV shows. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I was like, you look natural and great, and
Speaker 1: I was like, she had no idea.
Speaker 2: Wow, No, I mean literally it was. I mean, well,
Speaker 2: this will kind of be on the show too, but
Speaker 2: it was. We were on a fishing boat. So in
Speaker 2: my mind, I'm like, I'm not even putting makeup on,
Speaker 2: Like we're doing a fishing boat. Like I'm I'm not,
Speaker 2: I'm vegetarian, I don't fish. My fiance excuse me. My
Speaker 2: fiance is like such a fisherman. And in my mind
Speaker 2: I'm picturing like Bubba Gump shrimp from fourth like just
Speaker 2: fish guts all over the like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we what was it? It was like a yacht.
Speaker 2: It was like a nice boat with like fishing poles,
Speaker 2: like okay, it screwed into it or whatever. So I
Speaker 2: but I didn't know, and I'm like why when I
Speaker 2: get cute, And even though we had just gotten to Hawaii,
Speaker 2: one of my nails came off, so I'm like, great,
Speaker 2: it wasn't my left hand, luckily. But I'm just like, think, okay,
Speaker 2: so let me glue this one on, not the same
Speaker 2: color whatever. And there were just so many little things
Speaker 2: that were happening that you'll see on the show that
Speaker 2: are very much proved, Like I had no idea what
Speaker 2: was going on, and it blows my mind because everyone
Speaker 2: calls me Detective Doughty, like how did I not see
Speaker 2: this car?
Speaker 1: How did I not? Because it pertained your life, not
Speaker 1: other people, right.
Speaker 2: I mean there were times like I would go through
Speaker 2: his bag to like look for something, and the ring
Speaker 2: would be the rings in there, Like I didn't know
Speaker 2: to look for a ring.
Speaker 1: Why would I even.
Speaker 2: Think of you know what I mean. So it's like
Speaker 2: it didn't even occur to me. It never hen know, Well,
Speaker 2: how did you pass over a ring box?
Speaker 1: It wasn't. I wasn't looking for it. I was looking
Speaker 1: for something else. And so in hindsight, I'm like, what
Speaker 1: are you looking for? So many signs we went to
Speaker 1: the pictures. We went to visit his grandma one day
Speaker 1: and like he's like, oh, where are those pictures at
Speaker 1: that my mom gave us. I'm like, I'll go to
Speaker 1: the car. So I'm like ripping through every bag looking
Speaker 1: for these and the ring in Orleans. But he had
Speaker 1: a box. But I didn't see the box. And if
Speaker 1: I would have saw a box, it, says Kyle chan
Speaker 1: On it a ring box, I would have known in
Speaker 1: a heartbeat. Oh my gosh. Wait, I'm fascinated that you
Speaker 1: got engaged on a fishing truck. Wait had you fished
Speaker 1: already or No? I mean I didn't fish at all.
Speaker 1: It was just a roost. Yeah. Yeah, it was like
Speaker 1: for him, like he really wanted to go and we had.
Speaker 1: I love fishing. You, Oh, Luke's favorite thing in the
Speaker 1: entire world. What does he fish? Like? What kind of fish? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Like big ass fish or like yeah, I mean ocean's lakes.
Speaker 1: Sea fishing where you get like the huge.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he has before. I mean he grew
Speaker 2: up around lakes, so that was mostly what he did.
Speaker 2: But yeah, at for his birthday, I got or not
Speaker 2: for his birthday for since I got him like a
Speaker 2: fishing trip down and like Coasta Mesa and he's.
Speaker 1: Just like, however, I bring his vibe into La. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, poor guy. He has no idea. He's not
Speaker 1: going to be fishing for a really long time. So
Speaker 1: I hope he does a lot of it now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know Elie is really hard for him.
Speaker 2: He's not like the biggest fan, but he's been such
Speaker 2: a trooper and like sticking with it and the show
Speaker 2: and like my life and having the baby here and
Speaker 2: you know, I'm like, we're not we don't have to
Speaker 2: be here forever, but it's it's a right now thing.
Speaker 2: And I love that we have Colorado, like we'll always
Speaker 2: have Colorado. We want to have property and maybe like
Speaker 2: Tennessee or something I think would be really great for us.
Speaker 1: So on the show, I'm like, back to the show.
Speaker 1: You don't get to see it typically right before it airs,
Speaker 1: or that's not true, like a day before before everyone
Speaker 1: else sees it. Oh, I've just because I didn't know
Speaker 1: if that was a Bravo thing, because I've heard House
Speaker 1: WHOI I've say before like I didn't even know until
Speaker 1: I saw it on No, that's not true.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean people want to I mean, they'll send
Speaker 2: it to us like the day before so we're like aware, or.
Speaker 1: If we're doing press or something like that. And some
Speaker 1: people just don't watch it like I watch it and
Speaker 1: I meticulously like go through every scene like what happened?
Speaker 1: What did they say? What did I say? Oh? God?
Speaker 1: So what is it like going through an episode and
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you see somebody just give you
Speaker 1: a shade like someone said something. Oh that's the that's
Speaker 1: the crazy part. It's like do you wait till it airs?
Speaker 1: Do you call that person before and be like, uh,
Speaker 1: what the fuck? For me?
Speaker 2: Personally after all these years, Like I don't take stuff
Speaker 2: like that really personally because I know if I'm friends
Speaker 2: with them now and that happened, then I hope they're
Speaker 2: at least funny about the shade, you know, like be funny,
Speaker 2: Like if you're going to insult me, just like make
Speaker 2: it a good one liner, make it memorable, make.
Speaker 1: It TV gold. Yeah. But and if it's somebody that
Speaker 1: I'm not friends with, it's like, okay, no back pocket reunion,
Speaker 1: gotcha get reunions that those seem like such high pressure
Speaker 1: and I'm going to be so extremely pregnant when you
Speaker 1: do the reunion. Yeah, my friend and I both well,
Speaker 1: we're about a week apart.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, we're going to be there like nine
Speaker 2: months pregnant.
Speaker 1: I mean it's actually it'll be better because you won't
Speaker 1: give two fucks because you'll be like, exactly, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm doing here and creating. I don't give a
Speaker 1: fuck what you're saying about me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: batter and like no one is gonna bother me, Like
Speaker 1: what are you even talking about? Like I literally have
Speaker 1: a baby cooking inside of me right now, Like you're
Speaker 1: so not important. Yeah, but also you're like sacred ground.
Speaker 1: They can't really say bad things to you, can I
Speaker 1: I mean, they would be pretty fucking evil if they did.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have a beat my little crystals, like a
Speaker 1: little a little speaker for music when I'm getting like,
Speaker 1: you're a good girl, don't worry, she's strong. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: you guys have a name picked out. I won't ask it,
Speaker 1: but yes, that you agreed on. Oh yeah, before before
Speaker 1: I even got pregner, we knew her name. We didn't
Speaker 1: have a boy name for sure, but we had her name.
Speaker 2: Interesting, And I now know why people don't tell people names,
Speaker 2: because I did that. My friend's closest friends and family
Speaker 2: do know her name. But when we were toying with
Speaker 2: boy names, and I trusted a few really like my
Speaker 2: best friends, Like these are like a few of the
Speaker 2: ones we picked out.
Speaker 1: I had one of.
Speaker 2: My girlfriends, Rachel, call her out and she was like,
Speaker 2: what's the name for the boy? And I the name
Speaker 2: and she goes, he sounds like an asshole, And I'm like,
Speaker 2: and this is why people.
Speaker 1: Don't tell people names. It's true, or they'll be like, oh,
Speaker 1: my worst boyfriend had that name or like that. I mean,
Speaker 1: you can't win. So how wait, how often do you
Speaker 1: guys do your podcast? We did it once a week,
Speaker 1: once a week, but it's pretty much me. I'm I've
Speaker 1: pretty much taken it over now or just kind of
Speaker 1: the rebrand. It's just we were having so much fun
Speaker 1: doing it together, and I think for the sake of
Speaker 1: like our relationship and especially with the baby in the
Speaker 1: house and just like all these things and shooting the show,
Speaker 1: it was a lot for us to do together and
Speaker 1: it's it kind of Luke was like, really good.
Speaker 2: I feel like he has such a great voice for
Speaker 2: it and He's like so fun to talk to, but
Speaker 2: it like it's not really his thing, like the stuff
Speaker 2: that I like to talk about. It's just not like
Speaker 2: like the chatty conversations with my friends or just with
Speaker 2: anyone about especially pop culture or anything like that, just
Speaker 2: like not really his jam. So I've just taken over
Speaker 2: and I think that's starting. We're kind of like figuring
Speaker 2: that part out, like does this work better for us
Speaker 2: or does this work better for us?
Speaker 1: Right? I think me stealing it works a little bit
Speaker 1: better for us. You're gonna love having that podcast when
Speaker 1: you have a newborn. It's going to be great because
Speaker 1: you have to leave. Do you do it from home? Yes? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's yeah, that's going to be saving grace. When I
Speaker 1: had mine, there were no podcasts, so because I know
Speaker 1: during my pregnancies, whenever the show wasn't filming, there was
Speaker 1: always a discussion like, well, are we going to just
Speaker 1: come in and have some footage in case there's a
Speaker 1: season three, which there will be, but yes, oh that's yes. Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: so the meaning about this season three or I mean,
Speaker 1: we never know until we know, we're meaning they're smart
Speaker 1: to get footage filmed anything with me?
Speaker 2: Who can I call I know, it's it's crazy. Like
Speaker 2: we said when we wrapped season two, it was like
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, I got pregnant. My friend Nia
Speaker 2: got pregnant. My friend Jasmine who's on the show, she
Speaker 2: and her girlfriend got engaged, and I was like, this
Speaker 2: whole year just is flying right by with all of
Speaker 2: these pieces.
Speaker 1: No, so it's it's you know, on a season.
Speaker 2: Three, you know, hopefully it'll go from like I just
Speaker 2: got engaged and now I have like a newborn baby.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, we'll take lots of personal footage. I
Speaker 1: have a lot. They're gonna want that in season three,
Speaker 1: although I really think they should be just sending a
Speaker 1: crew with you around, just a small crew, I know, little,
Speaker 1: especially to the hospital, maybe not the hospital, on the
Speaker 1: way from the hospital, like when you bring the baby
Speaker 1: home for the first time. Like yeah, I'm so excited.
Speaker 1: I'm more excited I'm nervous, for sure, Like way more
Speaker 1: excited than I am nervous. But there's still a little
Speaker 1: bit of like what are we doing? And I never
Speaker 1: I always thought i'd be so much.
Speaker 2: Younger, but I feel like I've lived I've lived a life,
Speaker 2: and I think that that's really great, Like I've lived so.
Speaker 1: Much of a life that now I have all this time.
Speaker 2: And like much more maturity about me and like life,
Speaker 2: you know, just life lessons that I've lived and to
Speaker 2: be able to be a better mom to her, and then.
Speaker 1: We'll live my other adult life, you know, when she's grown.
Speaker 1: That's true. Okay, So the process you did, what was
Speaker 1: the name you said, I I I Yeah, so auasca
Speaker 1: a ahuasca?
Speaker 2: We so, yeah, So we first started with just hormones,
Speaker 2: like I was going to try just doing hormones, and
Speaker 2: then we were going to try to concede naturally, and
Speaker 2: they just say that IUI gives you like an extra
Speaker 2: I think fifteen or twenty percent chance of it working.
Speaker 2: So essentially it's just Luke gives his sample at the
Speaker 2: doctor's office and they do what they call it spin
Speaker 2: and clean the sperm, and then my doctor injects it
Speaker 2: right into my cervix.
Speaker 1: So it's like, okay, that's it.
Speaker 2: We're basically we're just not having sex to conceive the baby,
Speaker 2: got it.
Speaker 1: So there was no freezing of your eggs or anything. No, not. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we didn't have to get to that point, thank god.
Speaker 2: I mean, that was really possible, and in the cards,
Speaker 2: like we were just trying, like, okay, so if we
Speaker 2: try the hormones first and that doesn't work.
Speaker 1: Then we'll try UI. But we decided just to go.
Speaker 2: For it and then if EUI didn't work, we were
Speaker 2: planning on giving it a second go, and then if
Speaker 2: that didn't work, then we were going to.
Speaker 1: Have to, you know, move forward with like Okay, maybe
Speaker 1: it's IBS.
Speaker 2: So that's why I'm a little nervous about my having
Speaker 2: a second because I've never wanted just to have one,
Speaker 2: Like I've never wanted an only child because we both
Speaker 2: like Luke has three siblings.
Speaker 1: I have two.
Speaker 2: But and like with my age, like I hopefully we
Speaker 2: can you know, conceive another child.
Speaker 1: Fingers crossed. I feel like you should freeze your eggs.
Speaker 1: I feel like every woman should freeze her eggs. I
Speaker 1: agree with that now, And no one teaches you that
Speaker 1: when you're young, because it's not even like sometimes not
Speaker 1: even age thing. It's just shit happens, and it's just
Speaker 1: would have been nice to have that choice of taking
Speaker 1: some and freezing just to have it you never have
Speaker 1: to use them. Yep.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have a few friends like she I remember
Speaker 2: watching she know go through it, and it kind of
Speaker 2: I mean, we were younger, but it made me nervous
Speaker 2: watching just seeing like emotionally like what she was going
Speaker 2: through hormones, and I was like, I don't know if
Speaker 2: I can handle that. Like, of course I could handle
Speaker 2: it because I essentially kind of went through something similar
Speaker 2: by getting my pons anyway, but at the time I
Speaker 2: was just so nervous seeing how difficult it was on her.
Speaker 1: But then it's like the good outweighs the bad so incredible.
Speaker 1: So in hindsight, I totally agree with you, though I
Speaker 1: wish that I had done that at a younger age.
Speaker 1: So ladies, I'm here to say, yeah, if you Kristin
Speaker 1: and I approve freezing of the eggs, come on, come on.
Speaker 1: Oh no, no coman involved in that. But do you understand? Okay?
Speaker 1: So April fifteenth is the premiere season two. I'm very excited.
Speaker 1: I'm so glad you guys are in my hood now. Yes,
Speaker 1: so stoked, but yeah, I'm really excited about the premiere.
Speaker 1: I've seen as much as everyone else has, but I
Speaker 1: did live it. It was very wild. There's a lot
Speaker 1: that goes on and our our ep are like Our
Speaker 1: Main executive producer Alex Baskin said this was the craziest
Speaker 1: second season of any show that he's ever worked on. Whoa,
Speaker 1: I know, I was like Manner from Rules season two.
Speaker 1: That's a big state meant for him. He's seen it all.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Oh I just got more excited. Oh God,
Speaker 1: can you tell me one little thing before we go?
Speaker 1: Give me one hints? It's something.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just it's I think what I'm excited
Speaker 2: about is my journey is not as shitty as it
Speaker 2: has been before.
Speaker 1: Like, I get it.
Speaker 2: There's nothing I'm actually nervous about now. I say that now,
Speaker 2: who knows that I'm like, oh, insert foot in mouth.
Speaker 2: Probably there's nothing that I'm personally nervous about. But it's
Speaker 2: just such like I feel like it's just like a
Speaker 2: higher level of the drama because it's it's not like,
Speaker 2: I mean, there's some cheating scandal, but it's not like
Speaker 2: the old Danner Pump Rules days where it's like.
Speaker 1: Who a cheating scandal we know about or don't know about.
Speaker 2: It's kind of like in the trailer a little bit
Speaker 2: yeah about like Jesse and Michelle. It's in the trailer,
Speaker 2: so but it's like elevated, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: Like we're adults.
Speaker 1: There's like more steak now. So I think that's what
Speaker 1: makes it kind of like a lot of oh shit moments.
Speaker 1: Well I'm very excited. There's just a lot. It's a lot.
Speaker 1: It's a lot, and that's why we love it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: watching you guys go through a lot. Well, if I don't,
Speaker 1: hopefully i'll meet you one day in person. I get
Speaker 1: to give you a hug, not touch the baby, but
Speaker 1: or kiss the baby. Oh my god. Okay, but good
Speaker 1: luck with everything, happy pushing, that's what happens. Thank you
Speaker 1: so much for being on today, Kristen. Okay, bye,
