Speaker 1: Rachel Zoe is our guest, and I know you have
Speaker 1: a million questions for her. Yeah, I'm excited to talk
Speaker 1: to her. She has her hand in a lot, and
Speaker 1: not only that is a wife, is a mother. I'm
Speaker 1: so curious how she juggles it all, stays relevant, keeps
Speaker 1: it hot, keeps it fresh. I love it. Yeah, she's
Speaker 1: been doing it from and I used to watch her
Speaker 1: show all the time, her reality show that she had
Speaker 1: and um and then and she got her she has
Speaker 1: her two boys, and it was It's funny because I'll
Speaker 1: ask her about it, but about the whole her life
Speaker 1: before them, because now admittingly she's like, you know, her
Speaker 1: whole world is those boys, and so um a lot
Speaker 1: of a lot of fun conversations that we can have
Speaker 1: with her. I also want to get a martini with her.

Speaker 1: So she's our guest today, and you, my dear, had
Speaker 1: a very busy weekend. You're a recipient of the Vince
Speaker 1: Lombardi Excellence Award. And I know you don't like to
Speaker 1: talk about your awards, but you are amongst incredible company,
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson Art Star and so many, I mean so
Speaker 1: many the incredible individuals have won this award, and now
Speaker 1: you are one of only four women who have been
Speaker 1: awarded this award of excellence. So congratulations, And was an
Speaker 1: extra special because it was the Lombardi Award and your
Speaker 1: dad's affinity with Green Bay and your love and just
Speaker 1: just the award itself and what it stood for. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think, well, I'll never have an opportunity unless I've
Speaker 1: become a general manager president of a team to hoist
Speaker 1: the Lombardi Trophy. So that would be uh this, you know,
Speaker 1: to win an award that bears his name is pretty
Speaker 1: fantastic and had to go to Milwaukee for it. Hot question.
Speaker 1: I made a game out of Aaron Rodgers his name.
Speaker 1: Every time Aaron Rodgers was mentioned at the awards ceremony
Speaker 1: or I was asked if I knew what he was
Speaker 1: going to be doing, I'm hearing the announcement is coming
Speaker 1: this week. I guess if you're a fan of the
Speaker 1: Path McAfee show, which I am to um so, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a hot topic, hot question, and we were wasted
Speaker 1: because everybody said Aaron Rodgers like eight thousand times during
Speaker 1: the night. So it was fun. But the craziest thing
Speaker 1: happened and I would love to bring it up to
Speaker 1: Rachel's oh, but we won't have time. I had an outfit.
Speaker 1: It was a black tie event, so wore this rate
Speaker 1: suit from Fornica Beard, Thank you. It was like a
Speaker 1: black tuxedo suit and was ready to go. You know,
Speaker 1: Jillian did my makeup, did the hair, all the things,
Speaker 1: was getting ready to walk down. Our friends had grabbed
Speaker 1: me a tequila soda, put the pants on, and down
Speaker 1: the side of the tuxedo pants was a nice hole
Speaker 1: that had just formed. I don't know, it's from my
Speaker 1: outer thigh. I don't know really what happened, not on
Speaker 1: Ronica Beard issue. But you don't have big thighs, so
Speaker 1: it wasn't The two things that crossed my mind. Do
Speaker 1: I grab a permanent marker and just color the inside
Speaker 1: of my leg so no one could tell? But then
Speaker 1: I was like, or do I was that was a
Speaker 1: real option. I had thirty minutes and I don't know
Speaker 1: how to sew. So I was like, I either try
Speaker 1: to re sew these or I colored the inside of
Speaker 1: my legs so no one can really tell that it's
Speaker 1: a hole. But then I realized, I'm gonna be standing
Speaker 1: on a stage, there's going to be photos. How long
Speaker 1: can I really hold my hand over this hole? Who knows? So,
Speaker 1: Jillian is the whole? Are we talking two inches? Four inches?
Speaker 1: With sunches? It was? It was half my index finger,
Speaker 1: so it was a good size of a significant amount
Speaker 1: because it could It's like a run in the pantyhose,
Speaker 1: my panty hose, so Jillian goes, could it could go
Speaker 1: further as my point. Absolutely, That's what I was worried
Speaker 1: about the scene would start to break open. So I'm
Speaker 1: calling the front desk. I guess they were overwhelmed. Jillian
Speaker 1: goes down in her little cocktail dress and heels to
Speaker 1: get a sewing kit. We get a sewing kit. I
Speaker 1: obviously have to take my pants off. I put my
Speaker 1: pajama pants on. I'm sitting The light in my room
Speaker 1: is horrible. I'm sitting on the bathroom floor next to
Speaker 1: the toilet, and she's sitting with me in her little
Speaker 1: cocktail dress. I don't know how to sew. So this
Speaker 1: one she knows how to use her phone. She's like,
Speaker 1: hold on all YouTube, how to sew. I'm like, we
Speaker 1: don't have time to She turns on a video. You
Speaker 1: needed me there, I can sew. I can't. How did
Speaker 1: you learn? My mom she made all of our She
Speaker 1: had no money, and so she would make all of
Speaker 1: our clothes, and she made our you know, curtains in
Speaker 1: our house and are betting and all that stuff, And
Speaker 1: so she taught me how. So but the biggest challenge
Speaker 1: the sewing is not the problem. It's threading that fucking
Speaker 1: need it is. So then you have to like I
Speaker 1: was like sucking the thread and trying to poke it through,
Speaker 1: but then my eyes are bad where I couldn't tell
Speaker 1: if it was through. How do you do that? It's
Speaker 1: so hard? And then then it starts to fray right
Speaker 1: your um whatever, the thread itself starts to fray in
Speaker 1: the end, So you gotta get scissors, and you don't
Speaker 1: have scissors in those little kids, you know the ones,
Speaker 1: you guys, the paper ones, and it's wrapped over here.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Well, you know what I asked for
Speaker 1: a sewing kit for. It always comes back to my acne.
Speaker 1: I asked for the sewing kit to get in there
Speaker 1: so I avoid the scarring it never had. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: did you feel okay in the end? Were you successful
Speaker 1: in patching up the hole? And were you so proud
Speaker 1: of yourself? I did a really good job. If it
Speaker 1: had been sewing somebody's body, like I needed to sew
Speaker 1: somebody like a yellow stone, or like it was like
Speaker 1: somebody had a gaping hole and I had to do
Speaker 1: an incision, they definitely would have add like an s.
Speaker 1: I mean, the seam on my pant was a little
Speaker 1: like jacket. But for for having thirty minutes for not
Speaker 1: knowing how to do it. I was really really proud
Speaker 1: of myself. I did continue to hold my hand over
Speaker 1: it for when I was standing on stage. But yeah,
Speaker 1: and I would really like to learn how to sew
Speaker 1: a little better. Okay, well the road I probably should
Speaker 1: have to. I'm happy to help you. The key one
Speaker 1: little key um that. I'll just give you a tip. Now.
Speaker 1: It's all about how you tie the end, like the
Speaker 1: actual like, once you've done the stitching, to ensure that
Speaker 1: it doesn't that the stitch holds, you got to wrap
Speaker 1: the end and people just like think you you know,
Speaker 1: like wrap it around and do like a little not, no,
Speaker 1: you don't. I'll show you. I'm not doing this. Taught
Speaker 1: me that you have to go back over it, but
Speaker 1: I did. There was no tying of the not great.
Speaker 1: The YouTube video seemed like it was really great. I
Speaker 1: love that it was good. You know, it's just we're
Speaker 1: always learning, you know, we really are. Look at her,
Speaker 1: she's accepting awards and sewing her clothes. Look at my
Speaker 1: little Cinderella glass slipper and all, where's Gus, Gus, what
Speaker 1: was your favorite? I don't think I know this about you.
Speaker 1: You're the queen of Disney. You love Disney movies. You
Speaker 1: got engaged at Disneyland. But I don't know who your
Speaker 1: favorite princess is. Mine was Cinderella. Well, I like a fairy.
Speaker 1: I like Tinkerbell. She's my gal because Walt loved her
Speaker 1: so But yeah, Cinderella is great, snow White. Walt loved
Speaker 1: Tinkerbell the best. Yeah, that was like his one that
Speaker 1: he created. I think she may be one of the
Speaker 1: first that I'm going to get this wrong. He loved
Speaker 1: Tinkerbell though it was based off Marilyn Monroe. You stop
Speaker 1: it right now. I didn't know that little tank. She's adorable,
Speaker 1: you know what Roberts Julia rob her and yeah, what
Speaker 1: a great because if you've never seen well, Peter Pan.
Speaker 1: But Julia Roberts like the human version of it, not
Speaker 1: the animation. Oh was it a cook? Is that what
Speaker 1: it was? It's so optional too. It's very emotional movie.
Speaker 1: I can't get through it without getting very Speaking of
Speaker 1: movies and shows, we've talked before about now that it's
Speaker 1: the off season, re entries were definitely in full oft.
