I keep saying, like I feel like 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:48.560 I'm falling flat because or I'm forgetting things because my excuses, Well, 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:50.960 I have the baby, and though it is a giant, 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:53.880 you know, reason why I'm kind of letting things slide, 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:56.320 you know, missing things like that or I put in 0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:58.520 the wrong field for soccer, or this or that and 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:00.760 the other. Like I just i feel like I'm moving 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:02.960 a lot with the three now. It's just it's a lot, 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:04.679 sure or what it's worth. 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:07.880 Last year and I didn't have the baby yet, we 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:10.920 got to school and it was pajama day and we 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:14.640 were the only ones in a uniform, and so I 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:17.320 just pulled love aside and I was like, hey girl, 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:21.359 so a couple of quick things. I was like, today's 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:23.880 pajama day, and I forgot. So we have two options. 0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:25.680 You can come with me and we can run to 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:29.000 target like we are on fire and we can eliminate this. 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:31.440 And we can send you in and you get new pajamas. 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:34.120 Or you can go in and I can bring them 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:35.880 to you and we can change. I'll be back within 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:38.039 like a half hour and I can we can change. 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:40.280 And she was like I think I'll go in, and 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:42.560 I was like okay, And then I got in the 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:45.120 car and cried because I'm like I forget. But like 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:49.160 there's so many things floating even before the baby. There 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:49.920 was things floating? 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:52.480 Well, I just wonder like what the kids are because 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:56.520 I always think back. I'm like, all right, what did 0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:58.479 I remember as a kid, And so I think, you know, 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:01.839 as I reflect on Mother's Day, I'm like, you know, 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:03.800 I'm just I think, as long as you show up 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:07.280 and you love and but it's just those small moments 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:11.479 to me just seem so vivid in my past memory 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:13.600 that I'm like, oh, I mean, I think we. 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:16.000 Put too much pressure on ourselves. We can't get it 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:18.400 all right. And as long as you're showing up, I 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:21.320 think that that's what they're going to remember. I remember 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:24.159 that most I didn't show up, but I remember, you know, 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:26.719 but like that's a that's that's to me, it's the 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:29.960 big thing, is showing up and being there. I think 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:33.080 that they're going to remember that more than that little moment. 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:35.839 I also think that I never got modeled for me 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:39.520 what it was like to like pivot. Well, so like 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:41.719 I try to like really go Like it's not that 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:43.560 I didn't make a mistake or how quickly like I 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:45.680 do go, how quickly can I fix it? But more 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:48.440 so just like and I'm emotional today too, So this 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:51.720 is just all very unbranded right now. But I do 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:55.599 think it's like me saying I forgot this, which is 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:59.279 just human no matter what it is, kids, work, whatever, 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:03.400 And also this is my two plans to fix it, 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:05.880 and like what makes you feel most comfortable, and like 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:08.400 we'll do it together. And now she even will say, 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:10.160 you remember that time you forgot pajama Day and I 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:11.920 got brand new pajamas and I was like, I do 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:14.640 it's great ant slippers just because guilt is a real thing. 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:17.360 Yeah, there's lessons in all of it. But yeah, I 0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:19.880 just think we're hard on ourselves. I mean, every time 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:22.640 I disciplined my child, I end up like feeling bad 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:24.640 every time. And how much do I've got three kids? 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:26.880 I disciput them a lot. Oh, and I always feel 0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:28.360 bad and like almost always cry. 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:30.880 So how are you going to celebrate yourself this Mother's Day? Then? 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:32.720 I have no idea what we're doing for Mother's Day. 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:35.000 I don't either. I don't either, even Yeah, I like 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:36.920 that about all of us right now. I'm great with that. 0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:40.600 I know what I'm not doing. I learned a long 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:44.120 time ago. I am not hosting my mother in law 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:47.280 or my mother for Mother's Day. I used to be 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:49.960 the one that made us all feel included, and I 0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:54.760 quickly realized that it made it was not by anything 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:56.840 that they did. I just felt ended up feeling resentful 0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:59.240 because I've always had like little kids, and I feel 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:01.600 like at the end of it, I feel tired and 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:04.840 like I well celebrated them, but also just didn't get 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.120 a moment arrest. And it's kind of like my one 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:10.320 day year to really like plant the flag and say 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:13.400 like I'm going to rest a little. So we're just 0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:17.240 like his mom came this past weekend, and then my 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:20.800 mom comes next week, and it's just very like I 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:24.880 get this moment in time to just I mean good, tired. 0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:25.760 Yeah. There's three of. 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:29.600 Them and they're amazing, beautiful, happy, loving work, and I'm 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:31.440 just a little bit like could use a day. 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:33.840 Yeah, I mean yeah, I don't. I think we're just 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:35.920 I just want to I just love being with them. 0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:37.360 You know, I don't even care what we do. I 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:39.120 don't mean to say I think I used to put 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:42.920 a lot of pressure on it because I would want 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:46.440 I think because the situation that I was in with 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:48.199 like my ex or whatever, I think I would want 0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:49.839 him to do something really special for me. And so 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:52.599 it always fell flat because it wasn't good enough, you 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:53.080 know what I mean. 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:54.239 So you had your expectations. 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:56.480 Well, I had expectations, and I just thought that I 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:59.480 would be like celebrated because I wasn't so like in 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:01.679 the like I would think like, and then that was 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:03.240 unfair to him. But yeah, I would put on this 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:05.760 like expectation that it was like. But now I'm like, 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:08.280 there is no expectations. It's just I just want to 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:10.400 chill and relax and maybe have one hour to like 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:14.240 read my book on the screen and porch an hour 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:16.000 of nice, which could be during nap. 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:19.160 That's fun, right and likely to be interrupted, but still amazing. 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:20.959 Okay, Yeah, what's fun on with you? 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:21.240 Kat? 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:22.559 Oh? 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:23.319 Let's see. 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:24.040 I missed you. 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:25.600 Last week, kit Kat? I love you. 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:28.559 Oh. I was in Disney Living. 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:30.640 Which I love. At your posts.

And Disney's so expensive. 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:37.560 Yeah, I mean, and we just went for two days 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:41.120 and Herst was covered because for the competition they they 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:44.360 are you know, they get those tickets. But I just 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:46.719 try really to live by that as much as my 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:49.840 husband doesn't love that, but like that's just so important 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:52.440 to me to just have the memories, the money, you'll 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:54.839 go away. Life's too short, and it's you know, I 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:57.560 literally just found out. Actually this is really sad, but 0:09:57.600 --> 0:09:58.400 I just found out that. 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:01.120 Sorry, but it's really. 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:03.920 Like made me. I've always felt that way, but it's 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:07.040 made me even more. A high school boyfriend, not high school, 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:09.080 middle school, high school boyfriend. I just found out when 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:11.920 I got back passed away. And he's got two little 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:14.839 kids and you know, a wife, and I just ran 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:17.240 into his mom a little less than a year ago 0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:19.800 and just adored his family all the things. And it's 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:23.680 just hit me in this weird way, so young, so young. 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:27.200 I don't know what happened, which is, you know, none 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:30.120 of my business, but it just feels just odd, like 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:31.920 it's not my business. I'm not close to him anymore, 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:35.240 but like what happened, Like how did you know? And 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:37.520 it's just I don't know. It's just hit me in 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:40.760 a very odd way, like life is so short, you know, 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:42.320 And he's got these little kids and I know we 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:45.280 say that all the time, but and I've been living 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:48.160 that way. I've been trying to live that way, and 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:50.760 it's just really kind of solidified what's important in my life. 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:53.679 And that's a lot of why I you know, kind 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:56.440 of posted that, like take the trip, make the memories. 0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:59.839 You know, the kids are living their best lives right now, 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:02.800 so am I because that's what that's what we're doing. 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:04.400 Yeah, what matters too. 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:06.640 Yeah, yeah, that's about it. 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:07.440 That's sad. 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:10.440 I'd be devastated if my high school boyfriend died. I 0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:11.360 loved him so much. 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:13.880 It's like a weird like I mean again, it was 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:16.280 like eighth ninth grade, so I wasn't in love with him, 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:17.199 but I loved him. 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:20.160 You know, I still, like I will always have love 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:22.160 You'll always have love for like I will always have 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:24.920 love for I don't love him anymore, right, I will 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:27.200 always have love for my high school sweetheart, Like he 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:30.520 was a really big part of my adolescence. Yeah, and 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.080 my first love. Yeah, you know, so how can you not? 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:36.880 And I know it's just like still oh she used to, 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:39.800 but like she's she still loves her first love. Like 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:41.840 they even you know, talked for a second there. You know. 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.080 It's like you guys, it's like strawberry wine, your first 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:44.720 taste of love. 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:46.959 Oh, by the way, I saw her on the plane 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:48.520 on the way back from Florida, and I was like, 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:51.440 I love you. 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:55.400 I would just started humming the song. 0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:57.600 I literally text my friends were getting on like look 0:11:57.640 --> 0:11:59.240 to the left car. 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:02.319 It's like, and you saw Chris Kardashian and that one 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:06.480 was baked. She was like, came, I did cats such 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:09.080 a solid she did. She comes back to the table we 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:11.079 were and we were in we were at Casa Vega 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:15.560 on Ventura Boulevard and Studio City, and she's obsessed with 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:19.160 the card. Well she was is was okay, yeah, it 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:20.240 was this just did. 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:22.680 I mean, I might still watch the show, but definitely 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:25.120 it was outgrew a season. That's okay for sure. 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:29.120 Okay, so she was a big Kardashian fan. And I 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:31.040 saw Chris Jenner and what did I do again? 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:32.600 You came back to the table and you go, Okay, 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:36.959 this is what you're gonna do. You're gonna like you 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:38.680 you're gonna pretend like you have to go to the 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:40.320 bathroom and you're gonna go that way, and you're gonna 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:42.360 look to your left because Chris Jenner setting over there. 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:45.080 And I was like okay, and I. 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:49.480 Just stared at her. Never say anything, but I did 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:50.400 definitely stare at her. 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:53.280 Well, speaking of reality, we have got Emily Simpson and 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:55.800 she's got any podcast, so let's take a break and 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:56.160 get her on. 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:11.760 Hi Emily, Hi, how are you good? 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:12.320 How are you doing? 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:15.640 Oh? We're good. How are you popping off right now? 0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:18.960 What is what like? So you've got the new podcast 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:23.000 and so what is what is your favorite thing to 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:25.200 kind of pop off on that? 0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:28.560 Well, I mean right now we're just recapping vander Pump 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:31.960 Rules and the Valley, and I will be honest, I 0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:36.400 have never really been a reality TV watcher as far 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:38.880 as like the bravospear that I'm in, Like, I always 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:40.719 like Ninety Day Fiance and things like that, but I 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:45.120 never actually watched Housewives or vander Pump. So this is 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:48.000 my I don't even watch Orange County, just to be honest. 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:51.679 So me watching these shows, I'm like, oh, I get 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:53.760 it now, Now I understand why people watch this stuff. 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:56.079 It's it's good. I like it. 0:13:57.960 --> 0:13:59.840 That is funny when you do rewatch back a show. 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:02.600 When I had started a few episodes of wun tre Hill, 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:04.320 I'm like, oh, yes, it's actually like a this is 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:05.920 a good show. It was way too the episodes, so 0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:10.440 I stopped. But but yeah, I mean, and obviously Teddy's 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:13.920 you guys are friends, so that's yeah, lovely. 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:17.760 Yeah, you know, I think really what happened was so 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:19.920 when Tamer went to do Traders, I filled in for 0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:22.200 Tam or with Teddy, and then I think Teddy and 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:26.120 I just just organically had really good chemistry together. So 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:29.320 then I think just us doing popping off was like 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:33.160 a natural, organic kind of segue into doing something together 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:37.280 just because I think we just work well together. So yeah, 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:39.200 that's how that happened. I mean, I don't know if 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:41.560 I actually really like her all that much. 0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:47.000 But so you didn't actually watch vander pump Rolls though 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:49.160 before you started doing the podcast, correct. 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:52.640 No, I did not, And I mean, I'm sure like 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:54.360 there's a lot of times where I have to, like 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:57.080 producers help fill in the gaps with that happened in 0:14:57.120 --> 0:15:02.560 the past, which I appreciate. But I also feel like 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:05.960 it's interesting to have a completely new perspective on everyone 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:09.440 when you don't have that ten years prior, like I 0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:15.400 have very I would say hardline like opinions about some 0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:18.360 of the cast members, and it would probably be different 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:20.840 maybe if I had watched ten years previously, but just 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:23.200 coming in this season, I'm like, I don't know. 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:24.760 That's what I was going to ask, Like, did you 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:26.680 go back and watch all of it or you just 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:27.760 started from this season? 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:29.840 No, I just started from this season. I mean, honestly, 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:31.960 if I had the time to do that, I would have. 0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:34.360 But I mean we just filmed Orange County for the 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:36.760 past four months, so it's not like I had time 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:39.640 to sit around and watch ten years worth of VPR. 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:43.920 But I mean, now I would. I would do that 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:46.320 now we finished filming, so I've I've got some free 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:47.760 time on my hands now, ladies. 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:51.520 So is it strange to watch those shows because you've 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:54.840 walked and you know, the reality Like just watching anything, 0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:56.320 I think when you've been on the side of the 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:57.960 camera that you have has got to be different. 0:15:58.200 --> 0:15:59.040 Is it harder? 0:15:59.280 --> 0:15:59.520 Is it? 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:02.040 I think when I watched it, I'd probably just watch 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:05.080 it with a different perspective than the average watcher. I 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:08.880 think people watch it just from a public perspective and 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:12.400 just think that's all it happened, and that's all that 0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:15.600 was said. And it's a very linear type of thinking. Obviously, 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:18.360 because I've filmed a reality show for six years, I 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:21.000 do realize that there's probably other conversations that took place, 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:27.480 that there's probably producers interacting. Sometimes we'll even speculate like 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:29.280 I feel like this is a pickup scene because it 0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:34.360 doesn't really seem like it flows like it should. Just 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:39.040 just a perspective like that. 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:40.160 That's really incredible, do you because I kind of feel 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:42.480 like I feel that way too, when you know what 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:45.920 you know and then you just I mean, they make 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:49.400 so much drama off of pieces of the story. I 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:51.600 just find it, like, I just find it very interesting 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:54.080 that you can see that, and that's like America can't. 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:55.880 So do you guys talk about that on the podcast? 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:57.760 Like what is the meat and potatoes of popping Off? 0:16:57.920 --> 0:17:00.840 I feel like it's really a definitely a recap. 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:04.120 I mean, we do some highlights of just Bravo related 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:06.960 news in the beginning, just what's going on outside of 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:09.320 what they show on the show, and. 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:10.720 Then we do do a recap. 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:13.000 But I think the perspective that Teddy and I bring 0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:15.040 is that we've both been on a reality show. So 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:18.639 I think that we do a deeper dive into what 0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:21.400 possibly happened behind the scenes, what's going on, what the 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:24.399 thought process is why something like that happened, why they 0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:27.040 showed what they showed. So, you know, I think it's 0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:32.800 a different perspective than just your average housewife or Bravo blogger, etc. 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:37.040 Who watches it just from an entertainment perspective. I think 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:39.359 Teddy and I are able to do maybe a deeper dive. 0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:42.520 Do you'all have guests on the show, and if so, 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:44.359 who is your dream guest? 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:46.560 Well, we have so far, so we just started a 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:49.200 couple of months ago. This is a very new podcast. 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:53.639 We did have Katie from a VPR and I guess 0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:58.600 I don't know. Maybe I would say maybe like Arianna 0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:00.280 would be a dream guest, but I mean that would 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:02.560 never happen. I don't think she's saying much of any 0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:08.359 She's too busy. She's too busy making money, cash and checks, 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:09.560
