Speaker 1: Welcome back Bash our Happy Hour listeners. It's good to
Speaker 1: chat with you again this week. I'm so excited to
Speaker 1: be here. And Michelle, we have a very fun episode
Speaker 1: with a very fun guest coming up. We really do.
Speaker 1: I'm incredibly excited to talk to this person. If you
Speaker 1: watch the show Vanderpump Rules, I know I have, Beckaha,
Speaker 1: you watched Vanderpump Rules before. Oh yeah, I'm not caught
Speaker 1: up on the current seasons. I hate to admit that,
Speaker 1: but yes, I have watched my fair share of the
Speaker 1: Rules back in my day. Absolutely, And so we'll be
Speaker 1: talking to Katie Maloney and I'm excited. I'm so excited
Speaker 1: and I and this is actually perfect timing because if
Speaker 1: you follow Vanderpump Rules, you follow any of the cast. Stasi,
Speaker 1: one of the cast members, just got married in Italy.
Speaker 1: Katie was obviously there as one of the bridesmaids. So
Speaker 1: I can't wait to catch up and get all the
Speaker 1: tea on that. And I do have to say I
Speaker 1: was actually just thinking about this when you were talking
Speaker 1: about Vanderpump Rules. I remember it was one of the
Speaker 1: first times I ever came to LA Right after my season,
Speaker 1: I was doing a press round there and the restaurant.
Speaker 1: I did actually go to the restaurant um, but as
Speaker 1: we were driving by and we saw Ken Lisa Vanderpump's
Speaker 1: husband walking out holding he was holding the dog, and
Speaker 1: he opened up his car door to get into the
Speaker 1: car and hit himself in the face with the car door,
Speaker 1: And I wish it was the one perfect moment in
Speaker 1: time that I wish I would have had my phone
Speaker 1: out and was recording this, because not only was I starstruck,
Speaker 1: but I was like, he's a celebrity there, just like us,
Speaker 1: and so yeah, it's it's in the face with the
Speaker 1: car door, just like we do, just like we do.
Speaker 1: And I feel like, now this is really a come
Speaker 1: full circle moment for me in the world of Vanderpump Rules.
Speaker 1: Could you imagine, if you know, like how at the
Speaker 1: end of every episode for the Bachelor and Bachelor, I
Speaker 1: like they have like those wonderful bloopers and the blooper ruels.
Speaker 1: I feel like those are always a highlight. Oh definitely,
Speaker 1: that would that would definitely be the vander Pump Rules
Speaker 1: blooper for an episode. I would love to see that.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. I really is okay though, and it
Speaker 1: was fine. He made into the car. He's still live
Speaker 1: and kicking. I don't think it was too traumatizing for him,
Speaker 1: but it was a special moment for me when I
Speaker 1: one of my first times in LA and that's what
Speaker 1: I remember. But yeah, it'll be a fun episode. But
Speaker 1: before we bring Katie on, Michelle, what's new with you?
Speaker 1: Catch me up? How is your week? Ben? You know,
Speaker 1: it's been a pretty chill week here. It's been wonderful weather.
Speaker 1: Been able to get out on the lake a little bit,
Speaker 1: so you can just I mean, Minnesota lake life has
Speaker 1: been amazing so far already, and so it's just it's
Speaker 1: so nice. It's so nice. My fifth graders. We are
Speaker 1: moving into our puberty unit, so that is great. That's
Speaker 1: going wonderful. But I'm excited because after this episode I
Speaker 1: get to take off and visit Ryan Claytour, one of
Speaker 1: my girls that I met a Matt season, and we're
Speaker 1: going to spend some time in Virginia. So oh that'll
Speaker 1: be fun. Is that where she lives? Yeah? So people
Speaker 1: can we People have been sending me their tiktoks that
Speaker 1: they want us to try. Oh my gosh, we'll enjoy it.
Speaker 1: And you're just there for a long weekend. Yeah, just
Speaker 1: a long weekend, just a yeah, this girl time and
Speaker 1: just I don't know, you know, get away for a
Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, you need it. I want to go
Speaker 1: back to something real quick, because you briefly mentioned Stosse's
Speaker 1: a wedding, and I feel like there's been I mean,
Speaker 1: we talked to Hannah Gee about her wedding planning right
Speaker 1: and all that was going on, and then we have
Speaker 1: Stose's wedding take place, and then we have JoJo's wedding
Speaker 1: take a place, and it's like our own. Oh so
Speaker 1: much love in the air. And I saw so many
Speaker 1: pictures it looked absolutely beautiful. Yeah, yeah, shout out to
Speaker 1: Jojo and Jordan, congratulations on your beautiful wedding. You both
Speaker 1: looked absolutely stunning, glowing, so happy. Um yeah, I love
Speaker 1: seeing the photos. And of course we do have our
Speaker 1: bachelor at group chat that we always you know, congratulate
Speaker 1: all the girls, and we of course threw it out
Speaker 1: to Jojo, but here too for all of our listeners
Speaker 1: show them some love. It was beautiful, I think, and
Speaker 1: I think they're at on their honeymoon in Grease right now,
Speaker 1: so hopefully they're able to relax and just get off
Speaker 1: the grid for a little bit. And and did you
Speaker 1: see that dress change? I did? Okay, Okay, are you
Speaker 1: pro dress change? Like? Are you planning to have a
Speaker 1: dress address change at your wedding? Oh? I don't know, honestly,
Speaker 1: Like I'm I'm all for it. I you know, it's
Speaker 1: your big day, so do whatever you want. I you know,
Speaker 1: I grew up in dance and so I loved the
Speaker 1: costume changes for each each little number. So I'm like,
Speaker 1: if you want one for the ceremony, and that's what
Speaker 1: the reception also, I mean and heard both of the
Speaker 1: dresses were beautiful, but I can see why the first
Speaker 1: one that she wore to the ceremony would be very
Speaker 1: difficult to move and dance and it had quite a
Speaker 1: long train, So I do understand why she wanted something
Speaker 1: a bit easier to move in. But absolutely, but under
Speaker 1: even like going through being a bachelorette and like you
Speaker 1: doing Bachelor live on stage, like for every single piece,
Speaker 1: like you changed your dress, So why change that once
Speaker 1: you get to it? You know? Yeah, I'm all poor
Speaker 1: a dress, and especially like I love to dance, I
Speaker 1: want to be able to move and mingle and hug
Speaker 1: and I don't want to have to feel constructed and
Speaker 1: so yeah, you know, do do you? I know Rachel
Speaker 1: Lindsay when she got married, I think she had the
Speaker 1: outfit change and she actually wore like, yeah, this cute
Speaker 1: little romp or number underneath. What about you do you
Speaker 1: want to do? I'm going to call it a costume change,
Speaker 1: but a dress change. Yeah, I could see. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: could see because I could see myself like going when
Speaker 1: you go dress shopping, right, I'm sure. I feel like
Speaker 1: all girls have briefly at least thought about going. Just
Speaker 1: like the day that you go dress shopping, I feel
Speaker 1: like it's going to be really hard to choose just one.
Speaker 1: I feel like, what if I fall in love with two?
Speaker 1: And like this is the perfect reason to get both? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, well, it's your big day. It's like the
Speaker 1: one day that you can go all out as much
Speaker 1: as you want. And the only thing that sucks, I
Speaker 1: think is like wedding dresses seems so expensive that to
Speaker 1: buy two of them. I'm like, oh, does that make
Speaker 1: sense for only one day? But yes it does, you know,
Speaker 1: do you booboo? We'll all about the memories at this point. Okay,
Speaker 1: truly and the photos. I mean, yeah, like is if
Speaker 1: there's variety, I'm all about it. So I think we
Speaker 1: just will have to have Jojo on one of these
Speaker 1: days to catch up with her when she's back from scoop. Yeah,
Speaker 1: when she's back. So I'm so happy for them, so much.
Speaker 1: So many weddings. I feel like so many people are
Speaker 1: getting engaged, so many upcoming weddings. It's just, you know,
Speaker 1: and love is in the air this year. It's say
Speaker 1: you're so far. Yeah, it's in the water somewhere. And
Speaker 1: also to so many of my friends right now are
Speaker 1: getting pregnant or about to have their babies. I'm like,
Speaker 1: something definitely within the water. But it goes in phases.
Speaker 1: It goes in phases. It's like, I was just talking
Speaker 1: to somebody about this the other day, How okay, when
Speaker 1: you're in high school and all that, you remember those
Speaker 1: weekends where you would have like fifteen graduation parties to
Speaker 1: go to that weekend, right, and then your friends go
Speaker 1: through college and then that whole phase, and then everybody
Speaker 1: gets engaged at the same time, everyone gets married around
Speaker 1: the same time, everybody started to have kids. You know.
Speaker 1: It's just it's it's that segment, it's it's either really
Speaker 1: really single or really not single. Yeah, I know, I know,
Speaker 1: I remember like my single friends. I went through a
Speaker 1: phase when I was I think twenty five twenty six
Speaker 1: when the first half of my friends were all getting
Speaker 1: married and I felt like I was going to wedding
Speaker 1: after wedding, boucherette party, but after bouchette party. And now
Speaker 1: it's happening again, so it's like mid twenties, early thirties
Speaker 1: where this is happening. I'm like Thomas and I sat
Speaker 1: down the other day and we're counting how many weddings
Speaker 1: we have to go to in the next year, and
Speaker 1: I think we have nine. And of those nine, seven
Speaker 1: of them are outside of California, Like we have to
Speaker 1: travel somewhere. It's crazy, Oh my gosh. But that's I
Speaker 1: feel like that's so much fun too, especially like when
Speaker 1: you have a significant other, and like I feel like
Speaker 1: that it's just really hard to be in a bad
Speaker 1: mood when you're at a wedding and like you're around
Speaker 1: all that love and everything like that, and it's just
Speaker 1: and it's on vacation. Vacations you get to travel and
Speaker 1: all of that, but a lot I completely agree. So
Speaker 1: many of my friends have gotten engaged or even before
Speaker 1: I went on to be the Bachelorette, so many of
Speaker 1: my friends were in serious relationships. And it's so weird
Speaker 1: because it was like I thought at that point, like
Speaker 1: I thought I had met my person and it didn't
Speaker 1: work out, and so I was going through like, oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, all my friends are in serious relationships and
Speaker 1: like they're about to get engaged, and like I'm going
Speaker 1: in the opposite direction. And then of course, I, you know,
Speaker 1: become the Bachelorette, meet Nate, get engaged in like less
Speaker 1: than ninety days, and I'm like, haha, suckers, Yes, I
Speaker 1: asked you. I mean, I know we've talked a little
Speaker 1: bit about like any future wedding plans for you, but
Speaker 1: have you and they talked about where you actually want
Speaker 1: to do it, Like would you do it back in Minnesota. Honestly,
Speaker 1: we're really open to it because we just have so
Speaker 1: many friends and family that's all over and so it's
Speaker 1: like Minnesota is kind of the middle ground sometimes between
Speaker 1: Canada and Minnesota. I guess not really, I don't know,
Speaker 1: Like we just wrote a cover for most amount of
Speaker 1: like family and friends are going to be able to
Speaker 1: travel too. So yeah, yeah, it's still in the works
Speaker 1: for sure. I can't wait to see and hear more
Speaker 1: whenever you guys get started on that. But Michelle, I
Speaker 1: think it's time that we bring on the woman of
Speaker 1: the hour. Katie from Vanderpump Rules is here, so please
Speaker 1: welcome her to Bauchlor Happy Hour. Yes, hello, welcome to
Speaker 1: Happy Hour. It's so good to finally have you on.
Speaker 1: Michelle and I have been fans of you for quite
Speaker 1: some time and we've been dying to chat with you.
Speaker 1: So welcome and how are you? Hi? Thank you having
Speaker 1: knew that was a very nice form welcome. I'm good,
Speaker 1: very good. I think the jet lag has finally left me.
Speaker 1: How times did it take because you just got back
Speaker 1: from Italy? Correct? Yeah, like a Monday night quick turnaround. Um.
Speaker 1: I want to get into your trip and all about
Speaker 1: all about the wedding that you you were just at.
Speaker 1: But I want to start out by asking you, since
Speaker 1: this is Baucher Happy Hour, have you watched The Badcher
Speaker 1: or bachert Are you a fan of the show or
Speaker 1: are you just coming and blind with us? Um? I
Speaker 1: mean I remember watching from like day one, watching The Bachelor, Like,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't I don't remember who was the
Speaker 1: very what was his name was, like the very first
Speaker 1: Alex No, like his name was, uh, everybody like Curly
Speaker 1: he had Curly here, Bro, Curly here, Bob Yeah, Bob guiney,
Speaker 1: Bob Guinea. And then I would like then I watch
Speaker 1: you know, Tristan, right, and then I've like popped in
Speaker 1: and out, um, you know, so not like religiously, but obviously,
Speaker 1: I mean it's you can't even if you don't watch,
Speaker 1: you can't you follow sort of via different social media
Speaker 1: accounts and everything that we're everywhere, aren't well. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: we can say the same about really any reality TV show,
Speaker 1: So the same for Michelle and I with vander Pump Rules.
Speaker 1: It's like, I mean, we've watched, we've we've been fans
Speaker 1: of the show, but even did you see all of
Speaker 1: you guys pop up? So that's why it's so fun.
Speaker 1: I feel like our worlds are colliding right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, been like slowly making friends with people
Speaker 1: from this franchise over the years, and it is like
Speaker 1: once you're in the reality TV world, like there's no
Speaker 1: way getting away from it. Like somebody always knows somebody,
Speaker 1: somebody always has a connection. It's it's a big world,
Speaker 1: but like not at the same time, it's totally small. Yeah. Okay,
Speaker 1: So we have to jump back to this Italy thing though.
Speaker 1: So you were in Italy because you were in Stasi's wedding, correct, Yeah?
Speaker 1: That was How was that? Oh my gosh, it was.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was so beautiful. I had never been
Speaker 1: to Italy before, so I was really looking forward to
Speaker 1: that time. Yeah, And I mean I was also looking
Speaker 1: forward to just going on an actual like trip for
Speaker 1: the first time in years, because you know, obviously, but um,
Speaker 1: you know, also the wedding had been postponed and postponed again,
Speaker 1: and so to finally have it happened, it just it
Speaker 1: almost felt surreal. And we were talking before, like even
Speaker 1: the day before, even when we were at the airport,
Speaker 1: We're like, this still just doesn't feel real, Like when
Speaker 1: is it going to feel real? When is it going
Speaker 1: to feel like this is actually happening? And um, but
Speaker 1: everything went so perfectly. It was so beautiful. It was
Speaker 1: obviously very small wedding, and the attendance in itself was
Speaker 1: very intimate and small, and it just felt so special
Speaker 1: and it was so romantic and beautiful. I mean, just
Speaker 1: Italy and itself was just the perfect backdrop for a
Speaker 1: wedding like that. It looked stunning. And that's the thing,
Speaker 1: even when you say it was still small and intimate,
Speaker 1: I feel like you take anything in Italy and it's
Speaker 1: still gonna judge it up ten times and just be
Speaker 1: absolutely breathtaking. And so you were the maid of honor.
Speaker 1: How did your duties go? How did your speech go?
Speaker 1: I mean I felt like my duties were pretty you know, limited,
Speaker 1: because there wasn't a whole lot of events and things
Speaker 1: leading up to it. You know, I planned a little
Speaker 1: dinner prior, you know, for the first night that we
Speaker 1: were there, which is some of the girls, and so
Speaker 1: that was kind of like the main thing. And then
Speaker 1: the day of she just wanted me to come to
Speaker 1: her hotel and just sort of hang out with her
Speaker 1: and get ready, and but you know, she also had
Speaker 1: some help from other people there, so but yeah, and
Speaker 1: then I just had to write a speech, which it
Speaker 1: felt like a lot of pressure because you know, obviously
Speaker 1: wanted to make it really meaningful and heartfelt, but also,
Speaker 1: you know, when you have a friendship with somebody that
Speaker 1: feels like a sister and spans over a decade long.
Speaker 1: You're like, how do I even put this into words
Speaker 1: and really make it also entertaining and under and under
Speaker 1: a certain time limit. But I think I nailed it.
Speaker 1: I think I did pretty good. I got some tears,
Speaker 1: I got some laughs. I hit all the you hit
Speaker 1: all the points. I love it. Do you have a
Speaker 1: favorite line from your speech? Just a little sum give
Speaker 1: us a quote from your speech. I like the part
Speaker 1: where I said, I said, you know, um, something that
Speaker 1: her and I both have in common is we both
Speaker 1: think we know what's best for you. Seem have a
Speaker 1: point though, Yeah, especially especially when it comes to men,
Speaker 1: you know. But right, were you able to like stay
Speaker 1: in Italy a little bit after the wedding and like
Speaker 1: do some exploring while you were there? Yeah? So I stayed.
Speaker 1: So the wedding was on Thursday, and I stayed and
Speaker 1: I left the following Monday, So definitely got some sightseeing
Speaker 1: and I took a train with some friends to Venice
Speaker 1: for the day, which was really special and really, I
Speaker 1: mean it's breathtaking. Oh man, that's my favorite place in Italy.
Speaker 1: What was your favorite thing that you ate and drank?
Speaker 1: Throughout your entire time. There so much positive. It's so good.
Speaker 1: And me and Christina Kelly also randomly some of upon
Speaker 1: this pizza place, like around the corner from our hotel,
Speaker 1: Like we just were like, let's just go find something
Speaker 1: to eat, and we're like, should we have this pizza?
Speaker 1: And it was ended up being the best pizza. And
Speaker 1: then it's also fresh there. Everything just tasted good, even
Speaker 1: when I think it was like probably mediocre or touristy,
Speaker 1: it just tasted so much better than anything here. So
Speaker 1: and then obviously I just had I drank my weight
Speaker 1: in apperall sprints. But yes, I love it, Okay, Katie,
Speaker 1: I have two questions. One, first of all, it's still
Speaker 1: related to the wedding. Are there any fun or crazy
Speaker 1: wild stories that really stick out too that you want
Speaker 1: to share? And Two, how flirtatious were the Italian men?
Speaker 1: Were they over the top? I wish they were more?
Speaker 1: Really it was one So the last night we were there,
Speaker 1: Christina and I went had a picnic in this really
Speaker 1: beautiful garden park that was right by our hotel, and
Speaker 1: it was so it was just so beautiful and her
Speaker 1: and I was just sitting on this you know sheet,
Speaker 1: and this Italian fellow rides up on his bike and
Speaker 1: he just starts talking to us. But he doesn't speak
Speaker 1: any engle Ish at all, but he's like really trying.
Speaker 1: He's like speaking into his you know whatever so and translating.
Speaker 1: But like that was like the most effort was he saying, um,
Speaker 1: just trying to ask if I was you know, if
Speaker 1: we had husbands or were engaged. Did you give him
Speaker 1: your number? I think he like follows me on Instagram
Speaker 1: or something. But I mean we were like, oh, we're
Speaker 1: leaving tomorrow, like cut this is it? Um okay, okay, no,
Speaker 1: But I mean but I will say, like walking around
Speaker 1: just we did a lot of walking, and especially in
Speaker 1: the area we were in, it was definitely more of
Speaker 1: like a you know, local sort of residential vibe until
Speaker 1: we got into the more tourist area and I was
Speaker 1: just like, the Italian men are very attractive and very
Speaker 1: well dressed. I was like, so well dressed, wow, so
Speaker 1: put together. Yeah. We got into like it must have
Speaker 1: been like some kind of like banking financial area and
Speaker 1: I was like, lunchtime, just go there. Yeah, they're so
Speaker 1: put together. Oh my gosh. Yeah, they it's a place
Speaker 1: to be especially if you're single. Um, okay, so the wedding, Yeah,
Speaker 1: are there any fun crazy stories that stick out to
Speaker 1: you that you're able to share or want to share? Um,
Speaker 1: fun or crazy stories. I mean, it was just nothing
Speaker 1: that's like that's like, oh my god, this like really
Speaker 1: stands out to me. And it was just it was
Speaker 1: just all so it was all fun. I mean yeah,
Speaker 1: nothing like super outlandish. It just was just everything just
Speaker 1: went so perfect and nothing. Yeah, like exactly I was.
Speaker 1: I was nervous that I was not going to fit
Speaker 1: into my dress because I it was like basically like
Speaker 1: a core set up top and just everything just I
Speaker 1: felt like a little bit of like a Plato fun
Speaker 1: factory where it just pushed every bit of skin and
Speaker 1: anything extra just at the top of it. You looked beautiful.
Speaker 1: You looked so beautiful. But I would probably be the same, like,
Speaker 1: especially after eating all of the carbs and the pasta
Speaker 1: and the pizza and the wine and be like, is
Speaker 1: this still gonna fit? Katie have to say one thing
Speaker 1: that I loved that Saucy did and tell me was it.
Speaker 1: To close her wedding, she went out to Mariah Carey's
Speaker 1: All I Want for Christmas as you. Is that how
Speaker 1: she shut the night down? Yeah, that was the last
Speaker 1: song on the night. I love it. That's my karaoke song.
Speaker 1: So when I saw that on Instagramiz, I was like,
Speaker 1: I love this woman. Yeah, that's like she that is
Speaker 1: like one of her favorite songs. Like she'll put that
Speaker 1: on in an uber any time of the year, any
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. I never would have guessed that. I would
Speaker 1: have never guessed that that was her song. She loves
Speaker 1: holiday music and show tunes and doesn't she She's really
Speaker 1: like into Halloween, right. I feel like I saw that
Speaker 1: on an episode or something like that, Like she's like
Speaker 1: intensely decorates for Halloween, right or no? Yes, like she
Speaker 1: just she loves a holiday. She just loves getting into
Speaker 1: a theme and into a holiday, but specifically like Halloween
Speaker 1: and Christmas. Yeah, good for her. I love it. Okay.
Speaker 1: So pivoting it from the wedding and your trip, we
Speaker 1: have to say congrats on Vanderpump Rules getting picked up
Speaker 1: for another season. And there's been so much news in
Speaker 1: the world of vander Pump But are you excited to
Speaker 1: carry on into another season or at this point are
Speaker 1: you kind of like over it? Where are you at.
Speaker 1: Oh no, I'm totally excited. I'll do this till the
Speaker 1: wheels fall off. Ever. Sound good to hear though, that
Speaker 1: like it's like something that's like sustainable, right, and that
Speaker 1: like if you know what I mean, if it was
Speaker 1: too intense, you wouldn't want to do it. That's all right,
Speaker 1: that's awesome that you love it. Yeah, I think I
Speaker 1: think maybe, I mean, I'm sure maybe they'll come a
Speaker 1: day that I'll be totally over it or I don't,
Speaker 1: who knows, But um, I do love doing it. It's
Speaker 1: it's a lot of fun. And um, I'm very excited
Speaker 1: that we are going to be doing another season. I mean,
Speaker 1: obviously it's life is very different now, but um, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm excited about the future. So um the season, I
Speaker 1: think it is just going to be a good season. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And when does filming start play? Like where this filming
Speaker 1: start to take place? That's a very good question. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, typically in the past we would start in May,
Speaker 1: but that's all kind of changed in the last couple
Speaker 1: of years anyway. Um, so I don't I haven't heard
Speaker 1: of this like start date just yet, but um, hopefully soon. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I would imagine some time in the next
Speaker 1: it's like six ssh weeks, but who knows. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: this is so having you on because I'm sure the
Speaker 1: way that we would film a season of the Bout
Speaker 1: Shirt or Botch Shirt or Paradise is probably very different
Speaker 1: from a vanderpump Rule season, and I want to get
Speaker 1: into that and pick your brain. But I also want
Speaker 1: to mention one of the reasons why we really wanted
Speaker 1: you on here and so excited to talk to you
Speaker 1: today is because, you know, being on a reality TV show,
Speaker 1: so much of your life, basically every aspect of your
Speaker 1: life is put under our magnifying glass, and everyone watches
Speaker 1: everything that you're doing, everything that you're saying, which we
Speaker 1: can relate to, and at times it's so fun and
Speaker 1: so worth it, and at times it's fucking terrifying and
Speaker 1: very very very scary thing to do. So overall, from
Speaker 1: filming all these seasons, you know, from the start of
Speaker 1: when it first began back in what was it, twenty thirteen, Yeah,
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen. It premiered in twenty thirteen, so we filmed
Speaker 1: in twenty twelve, twenty twelve, Okay, so almost a decade
Speaker 1: of filming. What what are like one or two things
Speaker 1: that you've learned most about yourself throughout this entire process.
Speaker 1: Um mostly too, I guess trust yourself and trust your instincts,
Speaker 1: and you've gotten listened to that the most, um, And
Speaker 1: then I guess to and to like really lean into
Speaker 1: that all um, and to not take it too seriously.
Speaker 1: You know, at the end of the day, I don't
Speaker 1: know if that's totally the most sound of the things
Speaker 1: I've learned, um, but yeah, well I can only sense
Speaker 1: oh a thou yeah, and especially I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: the way Vanda Pump Rules is filmed is vastly different
Speaker 1: from the Bachelort like we went on to find love.
Speaker 1: But also in the back of my mind, I'm like,
Speaker 1: this is still a TV show. They're still trying to
Speaker 1: get ratings. You're still trying to get certain aspects to
Speaker 1: make this show what it is and entertaining. So it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you'll take it seriously. But at the end of the
Speaker 1: day too, it's not like you know, like live or die, eat, breathe,
Speaker 1: like this is you know exactly what your life is
Speaker 1: right now. It's like you have to have some sort
Speaker 1: of I mean, like don't take it seriously, and it's
Speaker 1: in the sense of like some people are like, you know,
Speaker 1: this is like I guess, I guess some people just
Speaker 1: put themselves up too high on a pedestal and it's
Speaker 1: like literally like listen, like this this is what we
Speaker 1: sign up for. We're on a show. Like you can't
Speaker 1: put your take yourself too seriously in the sense of
Speaker 1: like being more important than anyone else. Yeah, in this
Speaker 1: cast or on this show, like this is what you
Speaker 1: sign up knowing what you kind of sign up for. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you remember being in the spotlight and you know,
Speaker 1: kind of like Becca said that, when you are filming
Speaker 1: shows such as like The Bachelorette, Bachelor, right, like it's
Speaker 1: it's it's one person there who's you know, fine funding
Speaker 1: love amongst other people. But like when you're on this
Speaker 1: show with all of your friends together, do you feel
Speaker 1: like the show gets in between your friendships at times? Oh?
Speaker 1: I mean it can absolutely bring issues and problems to
Speaker 1: the surface. But I can't blame the show because it's
Speaker 1: it's just it's part of the process. When when there's
Speaker 1: an issue or something that comes up, we can't we
Speaker 1: have to examine it, we have to talk about it.
Speaker 1: We have to until we're blue in the face. But
Speaker 1: I think that's also kind of a good thing and
Speaker 1: been rewarding because we work through it. So I think
Speaker 1: I think, if anything, some of my friendships wouldn't be
Speaker 1: where they are today without the show. I think it's
Speaker 1: it's been a positive thing and in a lot of ways.
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes it can be frustrating, but yeah, just
Speaker 1: because like you're even if you're a person who doesn't
Speaker 1: like to talk about your emotions or what you're feeling
Speaker 1: or being vulnerable, you know, when you're sitting in those
Speaker 1: itms and you are having to talk about those situations,
Speaker 1: like it kind of almost like scaffolds it at least
Speaker 1: it dead for both Nate and I of like learning
Speaker 1: how to talk about things that are really not comfortable
Speaker 1: talking about. So it does challenge you and push you
Speaker 1: outside your comfort zone with that for sure. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but if you if you can do it and you know,
Speaker 1: be kind of you know, resilient and and it's like
Speaker 1: therapy and a way and get to the bottom of
Speaker 1: it and get to the crux and find out like
Speaker 1: what the issue is and forgive and move past things,
Speaker 1: and you know, then you can be stronger than you
Speaker 1: were before. Yeah, who is somebody from just filming an
Speaker 1: overall in the past several seasons said has really surprised
Speaker 1: you where you win in you know, not necessarily being
Speaker 1: friends with them or thinking you'd be close with them
Speaker 1: and it pivoted. Or who's somebody that you were super
Speaker 1: close with that you kind of drifted away, Like who's
Speaker 1: had surprised you the most? I mean a huge obvious
Speaker 1: one would be Lalla because when she came on the show,
Speaker 1: she came in hot and like just with a full
Speaker 1: you know, and it just rubbed me the wrong way.
Speaker 1: And I you know, I can be slow to warm,
Speaker 1: but also just I kind of pick up on someone's
Speaker 1: energy and I just didn't like what I was getting
Speaker 1: from her almost immediately. And you know some people are
Speaker 1: just like, well, you're just jealous because she's younger and hotter,
Speaker 1: and it's like, well, I mean, I'm not blind. She
Speaker 1: was younger and she was hot, but it wasn't it
Speaker 1: wasn't a threat to me. I mean I have lots
Speaker 1: of beautiful, hot friends, but she just had this sort
Speaker 1: of like cockiness to her that just rubbed me the
Speaker 1: wrong way. Yeah, but I think kind of once we
Speaker 1: were able to like let the guard down a little
Speaker 1: bit between one of us one another. We kind of
Speaker 1: discovered that we have similar defense mechanisms and fighting styles,
Speaker 1: and we're more similar than we realize to begin with.
Speaker 1: And we but we had a lot more in common too.
Speaker 1: We're from the same state and we you know, similar backgrounds.
Speaker 1: So that was also surprised to become as close as
Speaker 1: we are now concerning where we started, that's huge. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, And I think in general with other people,
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's like seasons, you know, they
Speaker 1: come and they go, and they you know. And I
Speaker 1: think with everyone else, I'm still you know, friends with
Speaker 1: and close to, maybe not as tight with. But I
Speaker 1: don't think it's necessarily negative. I'm not like surprised by
Speaker 1: any really. Yeah, absolutely, And is it so okay? So,
Speaker 1: I mean we've both been in are we all three
Speaker 1: of us have been in a position right where you
Speaker 1: are going through these relationships with their whether it's friends,
Speaker 1: whether it's significant others. But I mean everything truly is
Speaker 1: out there on a platform, and you are truly showcasing
Speaker 1: everything in like those vulnerable pieces, and you know, we
Speaker 1: know and Becca knows, and we've we've understood that you
Speaker 1: you've recently had to go through an incredibly tough, you know,
Speaker 1: break up with just ending the relationship with Tom and
Speaker 1: all those different things, and so how would you how
Speaker 1: would you say that you handle that, or like, what
Speaker 1: advice do you have for people who are going through
Speaker 1: a similar situation. It might not be public, right, but
Speaker 1: you know people looking to you for advice because they've
Speaker 1: they've watched this kind of unfold. Oh, I mean, kind
Speaker 1: of going back to what I said about trusting yourself
Speaker 1: and trusting you know, listen and listening to your guts,
Speaker 1: you know, I think that's the that is your guiding
Speaker 1: lights that you have, and if you don't, you know,
Speaker 1: it'd be really easy to bury your head in a
Speaker 1: stand and just plug your ears and not want to
Speaker 1: listen to that. But I think that's doing yourself and
Speaker 1: mass just massive disservice because I think I did that
Speaker 1: for a long time and I think it just got
Speaker 1: too loud and it was just like, okay, where you're
Speaker 1: going to lose a lot of sleep now. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think that shows so much strength for you though, just
Speaker 1: because like you know, you being in the public eye,
Speaker 1: you feel pressured to you could feel pressured to continue
Speaker 1: a relationship, right because that's what everybody else wants or
Speaker 1: that's what everybody else thinks is best. But like for
Speaker 1: you to make that decision for yourself, yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: incredibly empowering. Well, I think, you know, it's it's not
Speaker 1: being afraid of doing this, this this scary thing and
Speaker 1: making that's a hard choice because obviously what's in front
Speaker 1: of you is the unknown. And am I going to
Speaker 1: be okay? Like I was so scared of like starting over,
Speaker 1: like being alone. And once I finally realized like, okay,
Speaker 1: this is something I have to do and I have
Speaker 1: to do for myself, and I you know, I'm not
Speaker 1: happy and I want to be happy, and this is
Speaker 1: what's ultimately going to make me happy. The minute I
Speaker 1: made that choice, this thing I was scared of the
Speaker 1: most became like a gift, Like it became like an
Speaker 1: opportunity for opportunity, and I was no longer scared of it.
Speaker 1: And you know, obviously it's It doesn't mean it's not
Speaker 1: sad and not heartbreaking, because one hundred percent is it's
Speaker 1: like it was. It gutted me. But I think just
Speaker 1: leaning in and trusting your gut and listening to that um,
Speaker 1: you know, because it's about always, always about the relationship
Speaker 1: with yourself and nurturing that and taking care of that
Speaker 1: the most. I well, and I can speak from my
Speaker 1: experience going through a very public breakup and just knowing
Speaker 1: breakups are never easy there and no one wants it
Speaker 1: either heartbreak is heartbreak, whether you're in the public eye
Speaker 1: or not. Like that part is already difficult, and then
Speaker 1: to add on, I mean, it was so difficult going
Speaker 1: through just my personal breakup because everyone a before we
Speaker 1: even announced that, everyone thought that they were entitled to
Speaker 1: know exactly what was going on day by day, detail
Speaker 1: by detail, and I was still trying to process it
Speaker 1: on my own, let alone, like figuring out how the
Speaker 1: hell am I going to let the whole world in
Speaker 1: and know this? And it's it's a really scary thing.
Speaker 1: You kind of feel like you're jumping off a ledge.
Speaker 1: But do you feel like when you finally came to
Speaker 1: terms and had some time to sit in your decision
Speaker 1: and know what was best for you, you said something
Speaker 1: that like, you know, an opportunity for an opportunity, did
Speaker 1: it feel like you had this sense of now new
Speaker 1: freedom where you could just kind of breathe and be like, Okay,
Speaker 1: this decision is made, you know, whether everyone in the
Speaker 1: public knows or not, and so this is not how
Speaker 1: I'm going to live my life. Did you feel like
Speaker 1: a breath of fresh air after that? Oh? I felt
Speaker 1: a huge sense of relief because everything I had been
Speaker 1: doing I no longer had to do anymore. I didn't
Speaker 1: have to be concerned and live for someone else. There
Speaker 1: was a decision. I be like, Okay, well, now I
Speaker 1: get to make decisions for myself and everything. Every day
Speaker 1: I wake up, it's like, what am I going to
Speaker 1: do today to make myself happy or make myself You know,
Speaker 1: I no longer needed the validation of another person or
Speaker 1: I didn't have to worry about someone else, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, and that I was bogged down by
Speaker 1: a relationship that wasn't serving me anymore, you know. And
Speaker 1: you know I also I had to train myself over
Speaker 1: the years to to really not give a fuck. Can
Speaker 1: I say what the public thinks, It doesn't mean I
Speaker 1: don't ever ever think about it. But when it came
Speaker 1: to this, I knew obviously people were gonna have opinions
Speaker 1: or anything like that, but I was just like, I this,
Speaker 1: it's this, it, So it doesn't matter what anyone has
Speaker 1: to say about this, because this is ultimately like my life,
Speaker 1: and like it's gonna there's gonna be people, we're gonna talk,
Speaker 1: they're gonna say things, but like this time, it really
Speaker 1: really really doesn't matter. So like you're gonna do what
Speaker 1: you want to do regardless, and so yeah, yeah, and
Speaker 1: once I got to the decision, I'm just it honestly
Speaker 1: is like I don't care, Like I don't care what.
Speaker 1: I literally don't care. I feel really good to the
Speaker 1: point where I'm just like I want to I want
Speaker 1: to ask you this too, because I know Laala is
Speaker 1: currently going through a divorce. So have you two been
Speaker 1: able to bond more through your shared experience of that
Speaker 1: right now? Like, has would you say that has brought
Speaker 1: you closer together? Well, she didn't get married, so she's
Speaker 1: she's not doing divorce, but she is going through you know,
Speaker 1: things with custody with because she has a child. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's you know, they're our situations are very different. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm I feel fortunate that things with Tom and I
Speaker 1: are very amicable and very peaceful. And so there's still
Speaker 1: a lot of love between us and she you know,
Speaker 1: it's the complete complete opposite between her, yeah and Randall. Um,
Speaker 1: So there's that, but she's she's been amazing and so
Speaker 1: supportive of me and like my champion cheerleader everything. So like,
Speaker 1: like I love her so much for that, and I
Speaker 1: feel like I've been that to her as well. So
Speaker 1: even though like our situations aren't the same and there's
Speaker 1: not you know, a lot that we can like relate
Speaker 1: on that, you know what I mean, we are in
Speaker 1: some way, you know, not in some ways in the
Speaker 1: same way, starting over at the same time together. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, again, it's different with her because she's you know,
Speaker 1: has a baby and dealing with sharing custody and what
Speaker 1: in all the complications that brings along with it. But
Speaker 1: we're just trying to be supportive in the ways that
Speaker 1: each other needs it, right. Yeah, she's been amazing. I
Speaker 1: love hearing just women supporting women and I are huge
Speaker 1: for that. Yeah, everything, And so Katie, you talk about
Speaker 1: just everything and just being so liberating and kind of
Speaker 1: moving on to this new piece and you know, moving
Speaker 1: into this tenth season of vander Pump Rules. You know,
Speaker 1: as a as a single woman have you thought about that.
Speaker 1: Have you thought about what that's going to feel like
Speaker 1: or or what you want out of that, or what
Speaker 1: it's going to look like, and just kind of what
Speaker 1: you're thinking of going into this. I think about it
Speaker 1: all the time, really, I mean, like, yeah, how can
Speaker 1: I not. Well, So we're i mean, you know, we're
Speaker 1: in the process of literally in the next two weeks
Speaker 1: moving that's which is crazy because there's so much to
Speaker 1: do still. Um so yeah, I'm We're selling our house
Speaker 1: and I'm going to move into like an apartment downsizing,
Speaker 1: which is great because I don't you know, I don't
Speaker 1: want to have to make any like big commitments and
Speaker 1: buy a house or like, but it's going to be
Speaker 1: your apartment. Yeah, So I just want to have like
Speaker 1: a little space that's mine and then figure out like where,
Speaker 1: you know, take some time to figure out where I
Speaker 1: want to be long term. Do I want to like
Speaker 1: go to the beach, Do I want to go to
Speaker 1: the East Side? Do I want to you know? And
Speaker 1: I'm I'm so okay with just taking that time to
Speaker 1: like figure out like what what's the vibe for Katie
Speaker 1: long term? And you know, and so also you know,
Speaker 1: and just kind of reclaiming my identity and like who
Speaker 1: I am, because regardless of like how independent or individual
Speaker 1: you are, when you've been with someone for so long,
Speaker 1: like you do lose that a little bit. So just
Speaker 1: kind of like finding out the things that I really
Speaker 1: like and really enjoy and what I don't like, but
Speaker 1: more focused on the positive of what I like and
Speaker 1: what I want and what I like to do and
Speaker 1: and you know, and just yeah, just saying yes and
Speaker 1: being happy find what fuels Katie as an individual. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a hobby that you have that you've always wanted
Speaker 1: to do, and you're like, yes, this is how the time.
Speaker 1: I am, like the queen, I'm like a professional hobbyist.
Speaker 1: Like that's I get teased non stop because like I
Speaker 1: will pick up hobbies like it's my job. If you
Speaker 1: had to guess, what are you feeling? Oh, that's a
Speaker 1: doing good question. Um, I don't know. I think it's
Speaker 1: gonna maybe it's gotta be something like really just off
Speaker 1: the wall in random I feel like I could see you. Um,
Speaker 1: I don't know why these two things popped in my head. Okay, pottery,
Speaker 1: I feel like I could see you, like doing something
Speaker 1: with like ceramics, face yes or no, oh, I love yeah,
Speaker 1: pottery sexty, I would totally get into ceramics or this
Speaker 1: one's not as sexy. What are those ones where you
Speaker 1: like the pit the not calling you an old lady,
Speaker 1: but like the pin pin whatever? Stitch crosswork, Michelle, I'm
Speaker 1: sing cross stitch. What are you saying? I'm not that's
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I'm not saying it's whatever. I just
Speaker 1: didn't know how I was to explain it. But I
Speaker 1: feel like a lot of people are moving into that now.
Speaker 1: A couple of years ago, a couple a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago, a couple of seasons ago, I attempted knitting
Speaker 1: and I got roasted so hard for that. I also knit,
Speaker 1: so I don't it's so hard. It's so hard. I'm
Speaker 1: not I'm not that good with it, but you know
Speaker 1: I could use it. We visit it. I actually was doing.
Speaker 1: I actually recently picked up doing embroidering, so that's easy.
Speaker 1: What do you embroider? Um? No, I just I'm following
Speaker 1: patterns right now to like learn, and you know that's
Speaker 1: kind of the easiest way to learn. Okay, to come
Speaker 1: up at Marshalls or you can order them on um,
Speaker 1: like eBay or like Amazon, there's like a bank off
Speaker 1: one and like the different ones that you can do
Speaker 1: mountain or like fields and things like that, just to
Speaker 1: like kind of like learn the skill of it. The
Speaker 1: basic stitches. Yeah, I love that long stick. But like, okay,
Speaker 1: so embroidery or um, I hear a word on the
Speaker 1: street there's something about like a sandwich shop. Well yeah,
Speaker 1: is that a hobby or like that's more like the
Speaker 1: business endeavor, but yeah, so to be a hobby. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Ariana and I are gonna open up a sandwich shop.
Speaker 1: It's been like it's been a long not I wouldn't
Speaker 1: say a long time in the making. We we kind
Speaker 1: of like had this idea pop up at the end
Speaker 1: of the summer last year. Um, after I got the
Speaker 1: boot from the Guy's bar, because it's something that I
Speaker 1: had always talked about Tom, but he's you know, a
Speaker 1: little busy, and so Ariane was like, I'll do this
Speaker 1: with you, and I was like, oh my god, let's
Speaker 1: do this. And so we've just been working with a
Speaker 1: consulting group who are amazing and brilliant and they've opened
Speaker 1: up spaces of their own and worked with some amazing
Speaker 1: restaurants around LA and bars, and since we've spent a
Speaker 1: lot of time just kind of like really crystallizing the
Speaker 1: whole vision and just what the whole concept is, like
Speaker 1: what is it's called something about Her? But like because
Speaker 1: it's gonna be more than just sandwiches, we wanted to
Speaker 1: have like its own like vibe, it's own personality, a
Speaker 1: little bit of like retail wine bar, like wine beer barber,
Speaker 1: maybe cocktails as well, depending on the space we can
Speaker 1: get and if it has department or but I could
Speaker 1: go either way. Do you know what area of Lle
Speaker 1: you want us to be in? Do you have that
Speaker 1: space in mind? The valley, the valley, Okay, valley needs
Speaker 1: the valley. I'm such a like valley girl. I do
Speaker 1: love it so much. Ever here and I we're gonna
Speaker 1: start our own taco trek one time, Yes, we talked
Speaker 1: about it. The advice that the consultants gave us or
Speaker 1: they said, they're like, if you want to be successful
Speaker 1: in opening up any kind of you know, a food establishment,
Speaker 1: go with three things. Piece of tacos are sandwiches, because
Speaker 1: those are three things that people will always try, Like
Speaker 1: new spaces always go back to you can't fail at it.
Speaker 1: That's actually super true. The triple whammy things that people
Speaker 1: always love. Well, Katie, I will say, once this is
Speaker 1: up and running, if you need a taste tester, I
Speaker 1: volunteers tribute. I will come in whenever you need me.
Speaker 1: And if you need to get wine into it, I
Speaker 1: have a sparkling wineline that you could you know, we'll
Speaker 1: just stock it full. Amazing. Yeah, because we we especially um,
Speaker 1: not that we're trying to disclude anyone, but because it's
Speaker 1: something about her. We're you know, we're all about supporting
Speaker 1: women and especially like a female owned uh businesses and products,
Speaker 1: you know. So it's like if it's like a female
Speaker 1: owned brewery or a female owned wine brand, or there's
Speaker 1: a female owned tea company that I really will just
Speaker 1: sit in and you know, our products or candles or
Speaker 1: you know, all of all of that sort of I
Speaker 1: love that business idea. Okay, wait, Katie, Katie, Okay, tell
Speaker 1: me I want your honest, honest opinion. Would you ever
Speaker 1: go on Paradise or Bachelor? At first? I don't know
Speaker 1: if I would do Bachelor that is like that is
Speaker 1: sound strettle, but Paradise I feel like would be like
Speaker 1: fun crossover. Can we get a crossover event? It is
Speaker 1: a very fun time. Let's do this. Speaking of that, So,
Speaker 1: and if you don't want to answer this, I totally understand.
Speaker 1: But where are you kind of at dating wise? Like
Speaker 1: are you open to meeting someone? Do you want to
Speaker 1: just take some time as single Katie to figure out,
Speaker 1: you know, next steps? Where are you kind of at
Speaker 1: in that space? I'm not trying to like like get
Speaker 1: a boyfriend like I was like a relationship, but like
Speaker 1: I'm having fun like meeting people, like I like going
Speaker 1: out like farting or like I've been like on a date,
Speaker 1: Like I'm like, it's like to me, it's just like
Speaker 1: it's like fun, Like I feel like all the guys
Speaker 1: are like twenty eight So it's like it's almost kind
Speaker 1: of good because there's no pressure there no dating apps. Oh,
Speaker 1: no app at least for like right now. I don't
Speaker 1: know the thin now I see. I was like by
Speaker 1: the time I was already like dating top that was
Speaker 1: pre apps, so I've had zero experience to it. But
Speaker 1: for me, like I'm i feel like I'm a fashion
Speaker 1: All the people that are on the apps are out
Speaker 1: in the world. I'd rather go to places that I
Speaker 1: like to hang out and I enjoy, and I imagine
Speaker 1: like that would be the company that I want to
Speaker 1: be in. And I don't have any qualms about like
Speaker 1: going up to a fella that I think is cute
Speaker 1: and being like hello, or if you know someone wants
Speaker 1: to come and let's say, okay, let's set the scene.
Speaker 1: Let's pickup line. People one set pickup line. I feel
Speaker 1: like she let me. She said that she does, she'll
Speaker 1: go up to somebody, and I'm like, yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: I love women like that. Let's say I don't want
Speaker 1: to be like cheesy about it or like I like
Speaker 1: your hair, Like I don't know, what would you like
Speaker 1: naturally say do you come here? You're at this place
Speaker 1: wherever you like to hang out, and there's a good
Speaker 1: looking dude and you're like okay, I think, like what
Speaker 1: would you do? Like hied like ask a question of
Speaker 1: kind so like you can make a conversation and it's
Speaker 1: not just like some weird awkwardness or like make them
Speaker 1: put them off in a weird way that you know,
Speaker 1: not like a do you come here often? But like
Speaker 1: if they're wearing something that like you can I don't know,
Speaker 1: just you gotta kind of like find like a starter,
Speaker 1: find that talking they're wearing a T shirt or something
Speaker 1: and there's like some kind of graphic on it or something,
Speaker 1: or I don't know, find something about what they have
Speaker 1: going on or their hairstyle or there's I don't know something.
Speaker 1: We gotta find that one talking point. Yeah, well you're
Speaker 1: gonna be good. I'm trying to think, Michelle, do you
Speaker 1: know anyone single in Bachelor Nation that you would really
Speaker 1: think would be a fit for Katie? Oh, that's kind
Speaker 1: of think of like you need a minute to think about.
Speaker 1: I feel like I need at this point. There's so
Speaker 1: many people that are part of Bachelor Nation that, like,
Speaker 1: I feel like it's a large dating pool, like I need, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: what is it called like game cards? Like baseball cards,
Speaker 1: but bachelor cards with like stats, stats and everything. Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, we can make a game out of that.
Speaker 1: Is there anyone that you know of Katie from bach
Speaker 1: Nation that has caught your eye in the past? Um? Perhaps? Wait,
Speaker 1: has anyone from Vatch Nation ever slid in your dms? Um?
Speaker 1: Not the DM Okay, no one say, but they reached out?
Speaker 1: Has anyone hit on you in Batchel Nation? UM, I don't. Um,
Speaker 1: I think I've sat it. Put you in the hot seat. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I need to know. We got Katie. You gotta spill. No,
Speaker 1: we'll hook you up, Katie. I don't know if she
Speaker 1: wants to. I don't know if it doesn't sound like
Speaker 1: she made me wants it, that's true, No, no comments.
Speaker 1: Has anyone just like in um, throughout the realm of
Speaker 1: reality TV or other shows, who has been like the
Speaker 1: one who is you know, You've you've potentially thought like, oh,
Speaker 1: this might be a good fit. I don't know, because
Speaker 1: like literally until recently, I've just been them with Tom.
Speaker 1: It's a little hard to let you haven't really thought
Speaker 1: like that, you know. Also would be like I feel
Speaker 1: like I It would also be potentially like attractive to
Speaker 1: or not tract I would be attracted to somebody outside
Speaker 1: of like reality world, you know what I mean? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean yeah. It can be a little weird when
Speaker 1: you start to like mix world, yeah, I mean not.
Speaker 1: But also sometimes it's it's also really hard explaining his
Speaker 1: world to other people and having them to be like, oh,
Speaker 1: yeah for sure, yeah you know it. And also sometimes
Speaker 1: people like don't want that either, And this is something
Speaker 1: that like didn't cross my mind til now I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, Like that's like, might be that might be
Speaker 1: a problem moving forward, Like some people might be like
Speaker 1: you're great, but like I don't, like I don't get
Speaker 1: down with your world. Yeah, but also at the same time,
Speaker 1: like you're not gonna want somebody who isn't willing to
Speaker 1: go for that, right, because if if I truly wanted
Speaker 1: to be with somebody, those things that guess it would
