Speaker 3: But then I notice over the weekend, this guy, Michael
Speaker 3: Costello clowns Kylie Jenner because Kylie wore this like sick
Speaker 3: balm on birthday dress on her Instagram. And Michael Costello
Speaker 3: goes in and is like, I send her looks once
Speaker 3: a year, and I'm lucky to get a tag or
Speaker 3: a decent photo.
Speaker 1: Give a shout out to the little designers who work
Speaker 1: their asses off.
Speaker 3: And I was like, dude, like you do the same shit,
Speaker 3: Like you didn't, you would have gotten the tags and
Speaker 3: the pictures.
Speaker 1: That you wanted, and like you didn't hit me back up?
Speaker 3: Why because I'm not big enough for you, Just like
Speaker 3: you're not a big enough designer for Kylie Jenner, Like,
Speaker 3: get over it. It's all good man, here we go,
Speaker 3: right we go. So he then writes, verbatim, wait.
Speaker 2: So did you actually say that to him?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I said that on Instagram.
Speaker 5: No, no, not only did she say it to him,
Speaker 5: and there were like articles.
Speaker 3: That he then rebuttled and was like, we passed on you,
Speaker 3: passed on what right?
Speaker 1: He says, we passed on you? And wait, he says, we.
Speaker 2: Don't want to hold up what I thought.
Speaker 5: You told me, babe that you went to his office
Speaker 5: for a meeting and he never came out.
Speaker 1: Are you listening?
Speaker 2: I just yeah, that's what she said. No, I'm really
Speaker 2: not listening.
Speaker 1: I know, please listen. I just said that.
Speaker 2: I'm just not talking.
Speaker 1: I literally just said that.
Speaker 3: So anyway I approach, So if you're not talking, you're
Speaker 3: not listening to people who are talking.
Speaker 1: Okay, just fall back and let me tell him the story.
Speaker 2: This is bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.
Speaker 1: I want to set this record straight.
Speaker 3: How did this guy get me to give a shit
Speaker 3: about something that I really didn't give a shit about.
Speaker 3: I was just saying, like it happens to all of us,
Speaker 3: it's the nature of the beast, Like you're not big
Speaker 3: enough for some people I'm not big enough for some people.
Speaker 3: It's all good, but then he pissed me off because
Speaker 3: he claimed number one. He says, we passed on you,
Speaker 3: and by the way, you never showed up to the meeting.
Speaker 1: It's like, so what is it. Did you set a
Speaker 1: meeting or did you pass on me? Like, which is it?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: And then he goes and because you didn't want to
Speaker 3: buy anything, by what there was nothing to buy.
Speaker 1: I was waiting for you to deliver something.
Speaker 2: Honey, honey, honey, how can would you buy something?
Speaker 5: When he came out, show thank you, Okay, can we
Speaker 5: move on?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 3: He was definitely upset because I heard from a lot
Speaker 3: of people. He went on for like seven story slides
Speaker 3: about how upset he was. Basically, Michael, I'm sorry that
Speaker 3: I hurt your feelings, but brother, I can't buy something
Speaker 3: that doesn't exist. I never asked for anything for free.
Speaker 3: Lord knows if you offered me something for free, I
Speaker 3: would take you up on it.

Speaker 7: always say because it drives me crazy when people in
Speaker 7: the public, I don't admit to this, and then you
Speaker 7: think that you're talking to superwoman, Like I have help,
Speaker 7: Like I have someone that lives at the house with
Speaker 7: us and helps me pick up and take care of kids,
Speaker 7: and like we are a team. So because you know,
Speaker 7: some days, yes, they're completely dedicated to work, and some
Speaker 7: days are completely dedicated.
Speaker 6: To kids or the older kids or baby Dove. It
Speaker 6: like is always in.
Speaker 7: Movement, and I have to be able to have the
Speaker 7: option of you know, like you know, my un just
Speaker 7: broke his thumb, Like I have to be able to like,
Speaker 7: all right, we're going And especially in the time of COVID,
Speaker 7: you can't pack all your kids in the car and
Speaker 7: take them to the hospital.
Speaker 6: You're not allowed to.
Speaker 3: Do that anymore.
Speaker 2: That's true.
Speaker 6: That's true that I'm really lucky, lucky that I have help.
Speaker 7: At the beginning of the pandemic. You know, she said
Speaker 7: to us, She's like, what should I do? Like, should
Speaker 7: I keep my apartment?
Speaker 6: I'm like, no, just move in with us and say
Speaker 6: till this is over.
Speaker 2: I want to tell you.
Speaker 5: I want to say, Teddy, I respect and support help
Speaker 5: in the house if you can afford it. Help in
Speaker 5: the house is everything. And people look at me and say, oh,
Speaker 5: you know you have it easy. No. No, First of all, yes,
Speaker 5: I have it easier than most because I can afford
Speaker 5: the help. But you know what, I also work full time.
Speaker 5: I have two children, I have Laala. That's a full
Speaker 5: time job is usually usually over time. And you know,
Speaker 5: we are lucky, you know. And I do respect, you know,
Speaker 5: the power house that you are, and that you're open
Speaker 5: and honest about having that help, because it is close
Speaker 5: to impossible to be able to do what you do,
Speaker 5: have the children you have, have a husband and.
Speaker 2: A business and not have support. It's it's impossible, right
Speaker 2: I think I think so.
Speaker 7: Too, And I mean my husband is also a full
Speaker 7: time job, like he thinks that he's one of the kids.
Speaker 6: I'm not kidding.
Speaker 7: He just came in this room like two minutes ago
Speaker 7: and he's like, hey, can you heat up my breakfast?
Speaker 2: I was like, no, Oh my gosh, that's amazing.

Speaker 2: me last night?
Speaker 3: When I asked for oh, Teddy, last night, I con
Speaker 3: vibe I'll link this quick.
Speaker 1: He was like.
Speaker 3: He had this like dramatic moment where like watching TV
Speaker 3: and he's like, I need to know if you loved
Speaker 3: taking care of me. I was like, no, I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't love tickling you. I don't love cleaning.
Speaker 1: Up after you. I do it because I love you,
Speaker 1: but I don't love doing it.

Speaker 5: a half years. I love you, I am committed to
Speaker 5: you till the day we die, but I don't.
Speaker 2: Like tickling your arm.
Speaker 5: I do it because I like you, I love you,
Speaker 5: and okay whatever.
Speaker 1: So I get it, Teddy.
Speaker 7: Well, I mean, have you guys taken the love languages test?
Speaker 6: No, it's brutal. Okay, So I we took ours.
Speaker 7: And I always thought that I liked like touch or
Speaker 7: I liked you know whatever. It was mine is I
Speaker 7: like words of affirmation, which I was like, that makes
Speaker 7: me feel so lame.
Speaker 6: And then my husband likes acts of service. I was like, oh, hell.
Speaker 1: No, that's that's the worst one. Oh my god, acts
Speaker 1: of service. I'm like, oh you, that's the wrong one.
Speaker 2: When you tickle my arm, I feel more connected torture.
Speaker 3: I told him, if you told me tomorrow, I would
Speaker 3: never have to do that again.
Speaker 1: I would be so happy. I'm just saying that. Okay.
Speaker 1: So I want to ask you.
Speaker 3: First of all, I just read that your dad dad's
Speaker 3: middle name is Cougar, and I just about died.
Speaker 1: I'm adding it to my baby name list.
Speaker 6: Oh my god, Okay, it's not actually his middle name.
Speaker 7: Like back in the eighties, okay, and like remember when
Speaker 7: there was all these like eighties stars and they all
Speaker 7: had these kind of like crazy names like Billy Idol.
Speaker 3: Okay, I was going to say that's too legit, right, Yeah,
Speaker 3: a little too legit.
Speaker 7: So in the eighties his first record, I might mess
Speaker 7: this up a little bit, so I apologize.
Speaker 6: You know, I'm doing the best I can.
Speaker 5: We're talking about a legend, so it's okay, keep it going,
Speaker 5: keep it going.
Speaker 7: But he originally his first record company because they owned
Speaker 7: you in a different way back then. They like create
Speaker 7: your persona and they like, that's back when he was
Speaker 7: like wearing chaps and they called him Johnny Couger and
Speaker 7: like that's who he was. And then as he started,
Speaker 7: you know, you know, becoming older and all these things
Speaker 7: started changing, he then became John Cougar Mellencamp.
Speaker 6: And then he fully just dropped the Cougar because.
Speaker 7: That was the decision that he made. But don't worry,
Speaker 7: I still call him the coup.
Speaker 2: Awesome.
Speaker 7: Whenever I'm being super annoying, He's like, whatever, little Koog's
Speaker 7: that's so cute.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I have a question, just because I find out was
Speaker 5: John Cougar Mellencamp or John Mellencamp, I would just be
Speaker 5: having him sing Jacket Diane daily.
Speaker 2: So how often does he sing that song to you
Speaker 2: or the kids?
Speaker 7: Please tell me, he never really Over the holidays was
Speaker 7: the first time in like years I've seen him like
Speaker 7: he got on a guitar and actually sang his music.
Speaker 7: Because it was like all of the siblings and the
Speaker 7: kids and we were in Mexico and it was like
Speaker 7: so nice. But I remember being like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 7: she has not done this forever.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 6: So unless we see him in concert.
Speaker 7: But the favorite song he sings for us, it's a
Speaker 7: song that he sang us ever since I was a
Speaker 7: little girl, and it's do you know.
Speaker 6: The song paper Moon? Like say, it's not a John
Speaker 6: Mellencamp song, It's.
Speaker 7: Like it's only a paper moon shining under it whatever
Speaker 7: it is, but he sings it and it's a song
Speaker 7: and makes me cry.
Speaker 2: All I mean, if, like I said, if my dad
Speaker 2: was John Mellencamp, I'd.
Speaker 3: Just be It's really funny because it's like people that live,
Speaker 3: you know, by the beach, are like, I never go
Speaker 3: to the beach when your dad is John Mellencamp. You're like,
Speaker 3: he never sings Jack and Diane, what.
Speaker 1: What are you talking about.
Speaker 7: Now? And then when people figure out that it's my
Speaker 7: mom that was in the music video, they like die
Speaker 7: They're like, is her name Diane.
Speaker 6: I'm like, no, it's Vicky.
Speaker 1: No, it's Vicky. That's funny.
Speaker 2: All right. So now now here's the thing.
Speaker 5: I know, you run this business and are a huge
Speaker 5: influence on people's lives and changing their lives, inspiring them
Speaker 5: to get help healthy, get fit, lose weight, all these
Speaker 5: different things. Tell me how all In started, and tell
Speaker 5: me kind of where it is today and what it
Speaker 5: does specifically, because I see the Instagram, I see the videos.
Speaker 2: I'm moved.
Speaker 5: I see these women, you know, coming to these conferences
Speaker 5: and you inspiring and you dropping weight and staying healthy.
Speaker 5: Just kind of just give me the stage of how
Speaker 5: this started and why and where it's at today.
Speaker 7: I mean, essentially, what happens. I met my husband probably
Speaker 7: eleven years ago. I was naturally ranked of Questrian, I
Speaker 7: traveled NonStop.
Speaker 6: Life was great. You know. That's how he met me,
Speaker 6: like as this.
Speaker 7: Really driven, competitive, successful person in this world of sports
Speaker 7: in regards to horses. And then we started getting serious.
Speaker 7: I started becoming closer with his stepdaughter. I started, you know,
Speaker 7: we moved in together and we wanted to start a family,
Speaker 7: and I tried, after having slate to go on the
Speaker 7: road with her and you know, still be married to
Speaker 7: Edwin and everything, like tried to do it all and
Speaker 7: I just couldn't. I was like, why am I taking
Speaker 7: my new board on the road with me to go
Speaker 7: to horse shows and like live like you know, one
Speaker 7: foot in, one foot out of both places.
Speaker 6: And I just didn't feel good about it anymore.
Speaker 7: And so then that's when I just I stopped riding
Speaker 7: horses professionally and you know, you know, took care of
Speaker 7: the kids and Edwin in our house.
Speaker 6: And then I had a lot.
Speaker 7: Of fertility issues getting pregnant with Cruise.
Speaker 6: I was on all these steroids, ivf all of these things.
Speaker 7: I you know, gained you know, over eighty pounds, and
Speaker 7: then after having Cruise, I didn't lose it. And I
Speaker 7: got to the place where Edwin would come home from
Speaker 7: work at night and I'd be with the kids and
Speaker 7: I wasn't taking care of myself. I was taking care
Speaker 7: of them like no other, but then they would be
Speaker 7: asleep and I would look to Edwin to validate me
Speaker 7: every night. And it became this really vicious cycle where
Speaker 7: like I really wasn't taking care of myself, I really
Speaker 7: wasn't taking accountability to making myself feel better. And I
Speaker 7: also wasn't telling Edwin what I needed or like what
Speaker 7: made me feel good. So you know, after about like
Speaker 7: eight months of this of just not feeling good in
Speaker 7: my own skin and like blaming Edwin for it, for
Speaker 7: this life that we decided we were creating together, I
Speaker 7: was like, I'm going to change my life, and I'm
Speaker 7: going to.
Speaker 6: Change my life today.
Speaker 7: And food had always been an issue, you know, whether
Speaker 7: I wasn't eating enough of it or whether I was
Speaker 7: eating NonStop, you know, like I fluctuated between eighty to
Speaker 7: one hundred pounds multiple times in my life. So wow,
Speaker 7: I also knew after having kids, I didn't want to
Speaker 7: show them that relationship with food. I wanted to show
Speaker 7: them a healthy relationship with food. I wanted to show
Speaker 7: them it's good to be active and take care of
Speaker 7: yourself and want to play sports or go on walks
Speaker 7: and do these things together.
Speaker 6: And a lot of the times what happens is parents will.
Speaker 7: Say, like, my kids spend all these times on tablets,
Speaker 7: but then they don't go do anything with them that's active.
Speaker 7: So it's like, well, okay, they're seeing you on your
Speaker 7: phone all day, So that's what they're emulating.
Speaker 6: So that's where all in started. It was really just
Speaker 6: about a journey for myself. And I just said, hi,
Speaker 6: my name's Teddy. Follow along if you're.
Speaker 7: Interested to see if I can change my life. And
Speaker 7: over the next year, there was no business, There was nothing.
Speaker 7: It was solely about me wanting to change my life.
Speaker 7: And I used Instagram to hold me accountable, posted my workouts,
Speaker 7: my food, my body transformation, everything, and you know, quickly
Speaker 7: it grew following because either people want to support you
Speaker 7: or people want to see you fail.
Speaker 6: And then you.
Speaker 7: Know, it really just people started messaging me and say, listen,
Speaker 7: you know, I don't want to do this on Instagram,
Speaker 7: but I want to change my life. And I was like,
Speaker 7: oh my gosh, I could do this for people. And
Speaker 7: so then if that's how it became. And you know,
Speaker 7: at first the business started out as me and I
Speaker 7: could run about forty clients myself. Then I got an assistant,
Speaker 7: and then what happened is as it started growing and growing.
Speaker 7: Now we're over fifteen thousand Lives Change. I have over
Speaker 7: forty coaches that worked for me. But the part about
Speaker 7: my business that I care so much about is that
Speaker 7: every single coach is a graduate of the program.
Speaker 1: Oh that's awesome. So they know the drill inside and out.
Speaker 6: So they know and they believe it because you know,
Speaker 6: they're they.
Speaker 2: Lived they lived it right, they went through it.
Speaker 7: Of course wow, because there was a moment after my
Speaker 7: first season of housewives were believing. I was getting hundreds
Speaker 7: of thousands of emails and I had business advisors going Teddy,
Speaker 7: you just need to hire anybody, Just hire people and
Speaker 7: take all these people on, and I was like, no,
Speaker 7: I'd rather have a wait list and do this right,
Speaker 7: because my mission statement is like you have to really
Speaker 7: believe in this, because what never worked for me before
Speaker 7: was like I hate to go to like a workout
Speaker 7: class and I'd see this perky, little perfect specimen being like,
Speaker 7: oh my bosh, is what you need to do, but
Speaker 7: never having struggled a day in her life, right, you
Speaker 7: have to have gone through the struggle to be able
Speaker 7: to talk someone through it.
Speaker 1: No, You're you're completely correct.
Speaker 3: And I have a question, So from when you entered
Speaker 3: the show to now, how many people did you have
Speaker 3: working for you before you started the show and how
Speaker 3: many do you have working for you now?
Speaker 7: So when I first started the show, I had, it
Speaker 7: was myself an assistant and someone.
Speaker 6: That ran operations.
Speaker 7: Now I have five people that run operations and over
Speaker 7: forty coaches.
Speaker 2: That's amazing, Sane, that's amazing.
Speaker 7: It's really incredible, And it's also just a testament to
Speaker 7: like how and we're most people are having to do
Speaker 7: layoffs right now for their employees, but so many people
Speaker 7: need support right now that we're at capacity every week,
Speaker 7: and I'm so grateful that we could. One I haven't
Speaker 7: had to lay off any of the people that work
Speaker 7: for me, but also that we're able to support people
Speaker 7: right now, because that's why divorce is up right now,
Speaker 7: Domestic violence is up right now, alcohol abuse is up
Speaker 7: right now.
Speaker 6: All these things are up because you're some people aren't
Speaker 6: getting the support they need even Yeah, you know.
Speaker 7: So I'm really grateful for that job right now because
Speaker 7: it's and it holds me accountable because, believe me, at
Speaker 7: the beginning of this and when all this stuff was
Speaker 7: hitting the fan with my kids, life and all everythings, yeah,
Speaker 7: I was like, ah, I want to eat a bunch
Speaker 7: of crab and drink stuff.
Speaker 6: That sounds ideal.
Speaker 5: By the way, By the way, I can relate to
Speaker 5: this because my biggest thing in life has always been overeating,
Speaker 5: and now during this quarantine, after thirty days, I was like,
Speaker 5: I'm not going down that path, and I started playing
Speaker 5: tennis and pickleball every day and trying to eat better.
Speaker 5: So I give you mad respect. The question I have is,
Speaker 5: can you tell me a story of one of your clients,
Speaker 5: like somebody that you just thought really was I don't know,
Speaker 5: just one of those inspirational stories that somebody maybe you
Speaker 5: thought was close near death in their health and your
Speaker 5: program turned it around, like just something that is so
Speaker 5: memorable to you. I'm sure they all are memorable.
Speaker 7: I mean, there's so many memorable, but there was there
Speaker 7: was one client that I had, and this was probably
Speaker 7: about three years ago, and I remember when she first started.
Speaker 7: She was one of those clients that was almost like
Speaker 7: aggressive and almost mean to me as a client, like
Speaker 7: always defensive, always coming at me.
Speaker 6: It was always my fault.
Speaker 7: And I remember, you know, there were days where I
Speaker 7: would be like, oh my gosh, this person is like
Speaker 7: really get it.
Speaker 6: It's hurting my heart.
Speaker 7: You know, But I just kept leaning into her and
Speaker 7: giving her that support and that love, but also being
Speaker 7: that friend to her that tells her what she needs
Speaker 7: to hear and not what she wants to hear in
Speaker 7: regards to taking care of herself. And she you know,
Speaker 7: like with time, I just saw her start to shift
Speaker 7: and change. I saw not only a physical transformation, but
Speaker 7: she became one of my favorite people to speak to
Speaker 7: every day.
Speaker 6: She became this light.
Speaker 7: And finally, at the end of our time working together,
Speaker 7: she's graduating at six months and she just says, just
Speaker 7: so you know, you got me through one of the
Speaker 7: darkest times in my life. My husband was extremely abusive
Speaker 7: to me, and I never shared that with you because
Speaker 7: it's not your job and I didn't want you to
Speaker 7: feel pity for me. But because of me finally feeling
Speaker 7: good in my own skin, I had the strength to
Speaker 7: leave after twenty years.
Speaker 3: Wow, oh my gosh, Wow, what a rewarding job.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's got to be unbelievable. I mean, to come
Speaker 5: to work every day and touch people's lives that way,
Speaker 5: I mean, even beyond what you think you're doing, because
Speaker 5: you know, you're inspiring their health, which is inspiring affecting
Speaker 5: their whole life.
Speaker 1: It's everything that she's doing though, because.
Speaker 5: Health, yeah, health and wellness really for me, Teddy, Like
Speaker 5: in my business. When I'm overweight, you know, when I'm
Speaker 5: really binge eating because I'm stressed, or binge eating because
Speaker 5: I'm happy, whatever, I'm binge eating in that part of
Speaker 5: my life, I go to work feeling like shit. I
Speaker 5: go my mind isn't working the right way, I'm not
Speaker 5: sleeping well. But when I'm fit or on my way
Speaker 5: to being really fit, I am at my peak on
Speaker 5: all levels.
Speaker 2: And I really.
Speaker 5: Commend you because that is something that I think the
Speaker 5: whole world needs right now more than anything, is not
Speaker 5: to sit in.
Speaker 2: The house and feel sorry for ourselves, but.
Speaker 5: Get outside and get moving and try to, you know,
Speaker 5: do the best we can in the times that we're in.
Speaker 7: No, I totally agree, and I think why so many
Speaker 7: people end up, you know, failing, is because they think, oh,
Speaker 7: I want to change my life. I want to feel better,
Speaker 7: so that means I have to run ten miles every
Speaker 7: single day. No, like go on a walk, like play tennis,
Speaker 7: do whatever it is that makes you happy, but do
Speaker 7: something attic that's going to like let that, you know,
Speaker 7: not let your mind play tricks on you, because it
Speaker 7: happens to all of us. And you know, I think
Speaker 7: there's a difference between like having that toxic positivity but
Speaker 7: also having a real conversation with yourself, like you know what,
Speaker 7: I got to take action to feel my best today.
Speaker 7: Doesn't mean I'm gonna feel great, but I'm gonna feel
Speaker 7: better than I would if I did this, this, and this.
Speaker 2: Right, I agree with that. I agree with that. I
Speaker 2: think that.
Speaker 5: I mean, Law has watched me over the last four months, right, babe,
Speaker 5: I mean you've seen how I've really committed to trying
Speaker 5: to lose the weight and work out daily.
Speaker 3: It all goes, you know, hand in hand and Teddy,
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that your business is like AA. I'm
Speaker 3: just saying AA is something that holds me accountable. Everyone
Speaker 3: thinks that the program is strictly to you know, not
Speaker 3: drinking is just like the cherry on top. What goes
Speaker 3: into it, which you know, with with your program is
Speaker 3: not just about like you said, you must run ten miles.
Speaker 3: It's about having a healthy you know, mind, body and spirit.
Speaker 3: And I just I think with what you do right now,
Speaker 3: with all of us being in COVID and not knowing
Speaker 3: what's to come in our future, you know, you're really
Speaker 3: getting people back to what's important in life. I commend
Speaker 3: you truly.
Speaker 6: Thank you so much.
Speaker 7: I love it, and I you know, I get a
Speaker 7: lot of heat from it because people are like, how
Speaker 7: are you in the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and
Speaker 7: a life coach.
Speaker 6: I'm like, listen, I'm not a lifetime right. If I
Speaker 6: was a life coach.
Speaker 7: I wouldn't be recommending mysel help to be on this
Speaker 7: television show.
Speaker 6: I am the health and fitness coach.
Speaker 7: But when it comes to your health and fitness, if
Speaker 7: you're feeling good, you change things in your life. There
Speaker 7: has something to do with me, that has to do
Speaker 7: with each individual person, Like that's how it worked.
Speaker 3: Everybody's looking to slam you, you know, all of us.
Speaker 3: At every any chance they get, they want to call
Speaker 3: us out on something. So, I know, how did you
Speaker 3: get onto the show? I'm not I'm not going to
Speaker 3: dive deep into it. I just want to know, like
Speaker 3: how you even got introduced?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm actually what's a good question. I'm curious, like
Speaker 5: how did that? How does that happen on the Real Housewise?
Speaker 5: How do they find you or you find them?
Speaker 6: So I had like a group mommy and me like that.
Speaker 7: I had gone to one time that Durree had also done,
Speaker 7: so we had a mutual friend in common that referred
Speaker 7: me to Durre and then I guess and the network
Speaker 7: have a conversation and I get a phone call.
Speaker 6: So that's really kind of how it works. But when you.
Speaker 7: Guys, if you watch the show, the very first episode
Speaker 7: where Dreek comes to my house for that Mommy and
Speaker 7: Me music class, yeah, that's the first time Durie and
Speaker 7: I had actually met. Oh yeah, so even though we
Speaker 7: had a mutual friend, it was like we ran in
Speaker 7: the same circle, but we hadn't actually connected before.
Speaker 6: So that's you know, my first season. I was really
Speaker 6: just kind of getting to know everybody.
Speaker 3: Wowow crazy how how like reality TV works? Because me,
Speaker 3: I was just like friends of a friend of a friend,
Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden, like these people are,
Speaker 3: you know, traveling with me and they're in my wedding.
Speaker 1: It's like, how did this happen? What's happening here?
Speaker 7: The Twilight Zone shift from year to year? You know,
Speaker 7: like the relationships truly Ebb and Flow were like in
Speaker 7: real life, not real not that this is fake life,
Speaker 7: but like I have the same best friend since third grade,
Speaker 7: Like that hasn't.
Speaker 2: Changed me too, Me too, me too?
Speaker 7: And you know this other world things are constantly and movement,
Speaker 7: and people always ask how does that happen?
Speaker 6: You don't seem like a drama person.
Speaker 7: I'm like, there's something about when you know, sometimes and
Speaker 7: you know, my day to day life, I let things go.
Speaker 7: But when all of a sudden you know you're having
Speaker 7: to do it in a larger platform and somebody's coming
Speaker 7: at you, You're going to stand up for yourself in
Speaker 7: a different way than you ever have.
Speaker 1: Oh, trust me, I get it.
Speaker 3: Like when there are not cameras on, I'm like, can
Speaker 3: you not bring drama? Like I gotta do this for

Speaker 2: And I'd say, he goes, god Man, good move, good move.
Speaker 2: I'm doing that next time.
Speaker 5: But I will tell you the best part of the
Speaker 5: whole trip, besides being together and having fun and really
Speaker 5: it was really fun to be out there on the lake.
Speaker 2: That last night. We made a big bonfire.
Speaker 5: Lalla, myself and Jack's made this big bonfire for everybody,
Speaker 5: and we had swores and we're playing music under the stars,
Speaker 5: which looks like a planetarium.

Speaker 5: Made me I want to tell you, by the way, Brittany,
Speaker 5: I gotta get Brittany props. Okay, everybody was out doing
Speaker 5: their things on the water. Everybody else was out doing
Speaker 5: their stuff, blah blah blah blah blah. And I turned
Speaker 5: to Brittany. And because Brittany loves to cook.
Speaker 3: And let me is the ultimate housewife, and she she
Speaker 3: is a five star, like Jacks is the luckiest man.
Speaker 2: Ever, so Lalla is the opposite of that. She doesn't
Speaker 2: like to cook anything. So I said.
Speaker 5: I was sitting there, I hadn't eaten all day, and
Speaker 5: Brittany was in the kitchen. I was like, oh, this
Speaker 5: is a score right here, big win. I was like, Brittany,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna try to make myself a grilled cheese.
Speaker 2: Wink wink. And Brittany, is I make that for you? Well,
Speaker 2: I don't know if I did the accident right.
Speaker 5: Well, Brittany goes into overdrive, but I never see anything
Speaker 5: like it. It was like chef Brittany. Brittany goes to
Speaker 5: the kitchen, grabs the American cheese, grabs the wonderbread. And
Speaker 5: now to me, when you make a grilled cheese, it tim,
Speaker 5: you and I have been on location before.
Speaker 2: We make grilled cheese.
Speaker 5: Just throw the bread in the pan. You put the
Speaker 5: cheese on your disk. Not Brittany. Brittany is buttering the toast,
Speaker 5: soaking it in the butter, then putting it on the pan,
Speaker 5: then putting this shit took twenty five minutes.
Speaker 2: Me, it takes two. I looked at her.
Speaker 5: I go, Brittany, you're a real professional, and she goes, oh, no,
Speaker 5: here you go.
Speaker 2: She hands to me.
Speaker 5: It was the best fucking grilled cheese I ever had

Speaker 3: cleaned the whole kitchen.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: And she knows like I ain't much of a helper,
Speaker 1: like that's just what it is.
Speaker 2: Lala, Lala.
Speaker 5: We all know that, including me firsthand. I just want
Speaker 5: to tell you if Brittany did. She was so creative
Speaker 5: food wise that she looked at everybody and she goes,
Speaker 5: you know, I don't have any condiments. I have nothing
Speaker 5: to no pepper, no salt, no this, and I and
Speaker 5: I felt bad for it, because I mean, she was
Speaker 5: really in heartbreak. And then she goes, oh my god,
Speaker 5: we have cream cheese. We have creep cheese. We have bacon, bacon, chicken,
Speaker 5: grape cheese. I don't know what she's talking about, but
