WEBVTT - Stassi Schroeder

0:00:07.960 --> 0:00:25.120
<v Speaker 1>That's all. That's okay, becaus no one here is.

0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:30.360
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back to teen Beat, a podcast hosted by me

0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:34.120
<v Speaker 2>Danielle Fischel, a former actress often mistaken for one of

0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:37.160
<v Speaker 2>the Olsen twins, but never both at the same time.

0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:40.159
<v Speaker 2>That would be insane, But right now I am a

0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:44.000
<v Speaker 2>professional podcaster among many other things, and that means that

0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:47.000
<v Speaker 2>every week I get to sit with interesting people who

0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:51.400
<v Speaker 2>have done interesting things in hopes that learning about their childhoods,

0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:55.480
<v Speaker 2>most likely less televised than mine, will help us understand

0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:58.400
<v Speaker 2>who they've become today. I look at it like this,

0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:01.840
<v Speaker 2>I gave you my childhood. It's time we hear yours.

0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:05.000
<v Speaker 2>And this week I am so excited to talk to

0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:08.559
<v Speaker 2>a powerhouse in the field of reality TV who first

0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:11.960
<v Speaker 2>broke out in twenty thirteen as an original cast member

<v Speaker 2>Natives stood out over the show's eight seasons for her

0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:22.080
<v Speaker 2>quirky sense of humor and big sister vibes, bringing the

0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:25.480
<v Speaker 2>audience along for the ride of twenty somethings highs and lows.

0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:29.920
<v Speaker 2>As a result, she's allowed millions to witness her personal growth,

0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:34.600
<v Speaker 2>transforming into a three time New York Times bestseller and

0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:38.840

0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:58.640

<v Speaker 2>I've been a fan of yours for a very long time, yes,

0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:33.880
<v Speaker 2>even going all the way back to the Cosmo Radio days.

0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:36.080
<v Speaker 2>And we will talk a little bit about that in

0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:39.400
<v Speaker 2>a little bit. Rat. I am so happy that you're

0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:42.680
<v Speaker 2>here hanging out with me today. We go back many many,

0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:46.200
<v Speaker 2>many many boyfriends ago, and I am so proud of

0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:49.359
<v Speaker 2>you and everything that you have accomplished.

0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:50.320
<v Speaker 3>Thank you.

0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:54.120
<v Speaker 2>So you're originally from New Orleans, a city most known

0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:58.080
<v Speaker 2>as a debaucherous vacation spot. So I wanted to know

0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:00.400
<v Speaker 2>what was it like growing up in the big Easy.

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:01.160
<v Speaker 3>Oh.

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:04.320
<v Speaker 4>It's the most magical city to me in this country.

0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:08.440
<v Speaker 4>It's like the closest thing you get to a European feeling.

0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:11.440
<v Speaker 3>And I think that's also why I just like.

0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:16.120
<v Speaker 4>Love spooky, haunted horror stuff so much, because it's just

0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:21.800
<v Speaker 4>like so ingrained everywhere. The architecture, the stories, like the lore,

0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:25.359
<v Speaker 4>just like they're everything. Like my sister is the exact

0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:28.239
<v Speaker 4>same way. We both are really into like spooky things,

0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:31.160
<v Speaker 4>and we attribute that to New Orleans. I just I

0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:35.840
<v Speaker 4>couldn't be prouder to be from New Orleans and it's

0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 4>an incredible city.

0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:38.520
<v Speaker 2>We got to visit it on the pod Meats World

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:42.920
<v Speaker 2>Live tour and it was so much fun and beautiful

0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:46.560
<v Speaker 2>colors and like you said, the architecture, the food, the.

0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:48.640
<v Speaker 3>Food, and like the music and this sounds.

0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:51.080
<v Speaker 4>It's like every single one of your senses is just

0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:52.000
<v Speaker 4>like popping off.

0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:53.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, when you're New Orleans.

0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:56.240
<v Speaker 4>I mean, the bars don't close, they're open twenty four

0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:59.560
<v Speaker 4>to seven. And you know that might describe why, you know,

0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:01.600
<v Speaker 4>my love wine and cocktails.

0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:03.560
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, it's just like a part of It's.

0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:06.920
<v Speaker 2>Just a part of who you are. Have you always

0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:09.200
<v Speaker 2>gone by Stossi or did you ever go by your

0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:09.720
<v Speaker 2>full name?

0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:11.120
<v Speaker 1>Uh? So?

0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:14.240
<v Speaker 4>My grandmother, who is no longer with us, she was

0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:16.160
<v Speaker 4>my favorite person in the whole entire world.

0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:19.080
<v Speaker 3>She when I was born, she was.

0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:24.600
<v Speaker 4>Like Nostasia for this little baby Nostasia. I can't do that.

0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:26.840
<v Speaker 4>She's just too little of a baby. I'm gonna call

0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:29.520
<v Speaker 4>her Stasi And then it just stuck. So no, no

0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:32.320
<v Speaker 4>one really. You know, my parents tried a few times.

0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:35.559
<v Speaker 4>It's still on my driver's license because when I changed

0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:38.360
<v Speaker 4>my last name to Clark, which also I don't recommend

0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:40.440
<v Speaker 4>when you get married. It's a pain in the ass

0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:41.480
<v Speaker 4>and it's so not worth it.

0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:43.200
<v Speaker 2>It's the biggest pain in the butt I know.

0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:44.640
<v Speaker 3>Don't do it.

0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:48.719
<v Speaker 4>I thought about changing my name to Stasi Schroder Clark

0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:51.080
<v Speaker 4>on my license, and I just like, I have an

0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:52.840
<v Speaker 4>attachment to Nastasia.

0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:53.920
<v Speaker 3>That I can't explain.

0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:57.320
<v Speaker 4>It's not that anyone calls me that, but like, I

0:04:57.400 --> 0:04:59.200
<v Speaker 4>just like need it's a part of me.

0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.279
<v Speaker 2>Do you ever use it though to your advantage? Since

0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:06.400
<v Speaker 2>obviously being Stasi Schroeder, everyone everyone knows that name, do

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:09.080
<v Speaker 2>you ever think, like I don't, I kind of want

0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:10.560
<v Speaker 2>to be a little more anonymous. I'm going to use

0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:15.120
<v Speaker 2>Nastasia now and see if that helps me skip uber Okay, great?

0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:18.760
<v Speaker 4>Right, smart, and I get abers and lifts and things

0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:19.040
<v Speaker 4>like that.

0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:24.000
<v Speaker 3>I put in Nastasia for post me okay or things

0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:24.360
<v Speaker 3>like that.

0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:27.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, good, see smart, there's a there's a benefit

0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:27.320
<v Speaker 2>to it.

<v Speaker 3>I'm June June twenty fourth.

0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:08.440
<v Speaker 4>It's your cancer, I am, although I identify more with

0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:09.280
<v Speaker 4>my rising sign.

0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:10.560
<v Speaker 3>Okay, what's your rising sign?

0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:11.480
<v Speaker 2>Oh, Capricorn.

0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:14.839
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I've never really felt like a cancer, but whenever

0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:16.680
<v Speaker 4>I say that, people are like, that's such a cancer

0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:17.440
<v Speaker 4>thing to say.

0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:20.599
<v Speaker 2>And You're like, oh, okay, maybe I'm more like a

0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:25.120
<v Speaker 2>cancer than I thought. Yeah, that's funny. I am a Taurus,

0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:27.480
<v Speaker 2>but my rising sign is a Leo and.

0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:30.640
<v Speaker 3>Ooh, I see that. I was gonna say, you're a showman.

0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:31.560
<v Speaker 2>Thank you.

0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:32.520
<v Speaker 3>I do.

0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:34.719
<v Speaker 2>I do feel like it made sense once I figured

0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.279
<v Speaker 2>out what a rising sign was, and then I was like, yeah, yeah,

0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:39.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean I wish I could be like, no, that's

0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:44.600
<v Speaker 2>not me, but that's me, darling. So I wanted to

0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:47.520
<v Speaker 2>talk to you because one of the things I look

0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:50.200
<v Speaker 2>up to you about is your fashion sense.

0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:52.800
<v Speaker 3>Thank you, and I want to talk to.

0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:55.640
<v Speaker 2>You about your fashion journey because I have always been

0:06:55.920 --> 0:07:00.880
<v Speaker 2>like a real vintage shirt and sneakers girl, but recently

0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:05.359
<v Speaker 2>I have gotten very into all kinds of fashion, and

0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.400
<v Speaker 2>I've started even paying attention to runway shows. But I

0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:10.840
<v Speaker 2>know fashion has for a long time if not always

0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:15.280
<v Speaker 2>been one of your interests. What was young Stossey's wardrobe

0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:19.160
<v Speaker 2>like and what are some of your iconic childhood or

0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:20.320
<v Speaker 2>high school fits.

0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:23.000
<v Speaker 4>Oh my gosh, I have been drawing since I was

0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:24.880
<v Speaker 4>like nine years old. I would go to school and

0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:28.560
<v Speaker 4>I would draw paper cutouts with like different dresses and outfits,

0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:31.160
<v Speaker 4>and I still have literally next to my bedside table.

0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:33.280
<v Speaker 4>I think it's really important to keep things like this

0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:37.040
<v Speaker 4>to remind yourself of like what your inner souls always wanted.

0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:40.320
<v Speaker 4>I made these scrap books that I would I would

0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:42.920
<v Speaker 4>get all these magazines starting from when it was like

0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:45.840
<v Speaker 4>it says two thousand and two, so like I was

0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:48.880
<v Speaker 4>fourteen years old and I started making these scrap books

0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:51.400
<v Speaker 4>where I cut out all of these outfits of different

0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:54.760
<v Speaker 4>celebrities and stuff that I loved or ads that I liked.

0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:57.720
<v Speaker 4>And I have two of them that I made, you know,

0:07:57.720 --> 0:07:59.760
<v Speaker 4>starting from when I was fourteen to win like a

0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:02.120
<v Speaker 4>I was in college, and I keep them next to

0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:05.000
<v Speaker 4>my bed to remind myself, like this is.

0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:05.560
<v Speaker 3>What you love.

0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:10.320
<v Speaker 4>You love clothes, you love just different aesthetics, different vibes,

0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:13.400
<v Speaker 4>putting things to get different outfits together. I mean when

0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:15.800
<v Speaker 4>I was younger I went through so many different phases.

0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:18.800
<v Speaker 4>I followed the crowd a little bit when I was,

0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:22.680
<v Speaker 4>you know, like a preteen, but then when I got

0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:25.400
<v Speaker 4>into high school, I was like, yeah, I'm done doing that.

0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:26.480
<v Speaker 3>And I looked to.

0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:30.560
<v Speaker 4>Different actresses that I loved for inspiration, and I went

0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:32.559
<v Speaker 4>through like a dark face. I was like really into

0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:37.359
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, Ava Green and here Nightly and inteividually

0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:41.720
<v Speaker 4>and I died black and I wanted to be like moody,

0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:45.520
<v Speaker 4>edgy and all that, and so I kind of tried

0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:48.160
<v Speaker 4>to dress like that. It didn't really be translate because

0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:51.760
<v Speaker 4>I was going through awkward phases. Okay, you know, I

0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:54.960
<v Speaker 4>look back on it, and I'm like, nice, try appreciate

0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:56.000
<v Speaker 4>the effort.

0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:58.920
<v Speaker 3>But that's kind of like who I was in high school.

0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:02.880

0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:04.160
<v Speaker 2>goth or it was just edgy?

0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:07.000
<v Speaker 4>It was I would it was like want to be goth.

0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:09.480
<v Speaker 4>Like I brought ten cards to school. I didn't know

0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:11.959
<v Speaker 4>how to do some I pretended and people would just like.

0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:13.600
<v Speaker 2>And would you do readings?

0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:15.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but I didn't know what I was doing.

0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:16.800
<v Speaker 2>Unbelievable, that would great.

0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:19.760
<v Speaker 3>I would bullshit my way through the whole entire thing.

0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:22.000
<v Speaker 2>Do you know how many people are probably going through

0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:25.640
<v Speaker 2>life with like, no, this is my life's path because

0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:28.120
<v Speaker 2>I had a tarot reading as a kid, and they

0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:30.760
<v Speaker 2>have no idea that you didn't know what you were doing.

0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:32.760
<v Speaker 2>They like have taken it as gospel.

0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:34.640
<v Speaker 3>Hilarious.

0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:39.560
<v Speaker 2>What are your favorite brands now? Like, what is something

0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:44.679
<v Speaker 2>you're always drooling over looking to buy? Researching? Is it bags?

0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:46.600
<v Speaker 2>What's your go to?

0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:50.640
<v Speaker 4>It's flats. It's flats, like That's where I spend most

0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:53.440
<v Speaker 4>of my money. I'm not really out there buying designer clothes.

0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:55.079
<v Speaker 3>I sick too, like.

0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:58.760
<v Speaker 4>And you know, like as a mom, I you can't

0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:01.640
<v Speaker 4>be like wearing like a new fancy outfit every day.

0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:05.240
<v Speaker 4>So I have like different uniforms that I just alter

0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:09.080
<v Speaker 4>with accessories. And so I'm not buying designer clothes.

0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:10.400
<v Speaker 3>Like I will run, you.

0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:12.760
<v Speaker 4>Know, borrow from style houses and stuff like that and

0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:15.000
<v Speaker 4>use the styles for like red carpet events and parties,

0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:16.640
<v Speaker 4>and I'll wear designer clothes then, but not.

0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:17.959
<v Speaker 3>During my everyday life.

0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:21.680
<v Speaker 4>I spend my money on designer shoes, shoes, not even

0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:26.040
<v Speaker 4>designer handbags. Really, like I don't collect as much because

0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:28.400
<v Speaker 4>I think they're so ridiculously outrageous.

0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:29.480
<v Speaker 2>Now, yeah they are.

0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:32.160
<v Speaker 4>I think like nine thousand dollars for a bag is

0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:36.320
<v Speaker 4>just insane to me. So I get my fix by

0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:39.920
<v Speaker 4>buying designer flats because I love a ballet flat, I

0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:43.960
<v Speaker 4>love a loafer, I love a flat sandal. I'm just

0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:46.680
<v Speaker 4>like anything that's like really cute and flat.

0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:49.199
<v Speaker 2>I am into did you now? I don't think they

0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:51.640
<v Speaker 2>made them flat, but maybe they did. Did they? Did

0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:55.240
<v Speaker 2>Chanelle make the square toe in flats or were they

0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:56.439
<v Speaker 2>just the slingbacks?

0:10:57.040 --> 0:10:59.440

<v Speaker 4>It wasn't no, but this is the thing I wasn't

0:13:57.400 --> 0:14:00.160
<v Speaker 4>cool in high school. I was thinking, if it's so

0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:02.120
<v Speaker 4>funny that you're asking about high school because I'm about

0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:04.560
<v Speaker 4>to record with Taylor Strekker, who you are graduates?

0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:06.839
<v Speaker 2>Who I was gonna talk to you about later.

0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:11.160
<v Speaker 4>Yes, And I'm like planning what we're talking about today.

0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:13.839
<v Speaker 4>And I just like saw a TikTok with We're a

0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:17.640
<v Speaker 4>Lady talking about how gen Z has basically erased like

0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:18.679
<v Speaker 4>the idea of the.

0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:21.840
<v Speaker 3>Cool kid, and I'm like did. I was like, did

0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:23.840
<v Speaker 3>we have cool kids in high school? Because I went

0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:25.200
<v Speaker 3>to an all girls Catholic school.

0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:28.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so like there was no to me, there was

0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:31.000
<v Speaker 4>no hierarchy of like who was cool and who wasn't.

0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:33.760
<v Speaker 4>I didn't like really go to parties. I didn't like drink,

0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:36.800
<v Speaker 4>I didn't like date, and I had just like my

0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:40.560
<v Speaker 4>core group of like five best friends and we just

0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:43.760
<v Speaker 4>like hung out with each other and what we wanted

0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:47.360
<v Speaker 4>on the weekends. We didn't really care what anybody thought.

0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:48.800
<v Speaker 4>We kind of just like we're a bit of like

0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:49.880
<v Speaker 4>loaners like that.

0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:51.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so I.

0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:54.320
<v Speaker 4>Wasn't like really cool. I'm trying to think of like

0:14:56.920 --> 0:15:01.400
<v Speaker 4>embarrassing memories. My senior year, there was a rumor that

0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:04.480
<v Speaker 4>I had sex with my one of my teachers. What,

0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:08.560
<v Speaker 4>I was a virgin, But I actually it's not that embarrassing.

0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:10.480
<v Speaker 4>I felt really cool because I was a virgin.

0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:12.480
<v Speaker 2>You were like, people think I've had sex.

0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:16.480
<v Speaker 3>They think I'm a batty, they think I'm a baddy.

0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:19.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, that's crazy. Who do you think? Do

0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:21.000
<v Speaker 2>you suspect who started that rumor?

0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:24.480
<v Speaker 3>No, but I did think this teacher was really cute.

0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:27.160
<v Speaker 2>You were like, I wish it was true.

0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:28.560
<v Speaker 3>I wish it was true.

0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:33.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, oh boy, was he a young teacher or was

0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:36.920
<v Speaker 2>he Yes? Okay, I was a young teacher and you

0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:39.240
<v Speaker 2>were a senior in high school, and you're like, I

0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:41.960
<v Speaker 2>can't believe I've got this rep I know.

0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:44.840
<v Speaker 4>It felt so cool because again, like I wasn't out

0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:46.720
<v Speaker 4>partying and like doing things.

0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:48.920
<v Speaker 3>I wasn't sneaking out of my house. I was straight a.

0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:52.240
<v Speaker 3>I followed the rules. I like, you know, that's very

0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:53.280
<v Speaker 3>much who I was.

0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:56.080
<v Speaker 4>So I'm like, oh my god, this is maybe they

0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:58.680
<v Speaker 4>can just I remember like thinking like maybe they can

0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:01.320
<v Speaker 4>just like feel the chemistry if.

0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:06.760
<v Speaker 2>Everyone can see what I'm feeling. Oh my gosh, I

0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:09.880
<v Speaker 2>wonder if the fact that you weren't aware of there

0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:13.120
<v Speaker 2>being a hierarchy, meant that you were the cool girl

0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:15.000
<v Speaker 2>without knowing it. Like I wonder if we were to

0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:18.920
<v Speaker 2>ask other people at your school if they would be like, oh, yeah,

0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:21.120
<v Speaker 2>Stossie and her friends were the cool kids.

0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:24.040
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god.

0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:25.720
<v Speaker 2>I've never really thought about it, you know, because the

0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:27.520
<v Speaker 2>fact that you were like, I don't, I don't, I

0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:30.480
<v Speaker 2>can't name the cool group. Maybe you just were the

0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:33.040
<v Speaker 2>cool group, which is great because you were you got

0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:35.360
<v Speaker 2>along with everybody, and you didn't. You weren't thinking about

0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:38.480
<v Speaker 2>what other people were doing. You were just like hanging

0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:39.200
<v Speaker 2>with your friends.

0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:42.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we just did thing. Oh my gosh, and yell

0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:46.520
<v Speaker 3>ever thought about that before?

0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:47.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:48.320
<v Speaker 3>Well, you know what.

<v Speaker 3>I'd love to ask some people.

0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:56.760
<v Speaker 2>I think you should go. I think you should go

0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:59.320
<v Speaker 2>and ask people be Like I was recently on a podcast,

0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:01.640
<v Speaker 2>who would you say? You don't have to frame it

0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:05.800
<v Speaker 2>like was like cool? Who would you say was cool?

0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:06.480
<v Speaker 2>What was cool?

0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:06.679
<v Speaker 4>Like?

0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:08.680
<v Speaker 2>Who do you remember thinking like, oh, man, if I

0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:10.960
<v Speaker 2>if I were cool, I'd be like that person and

0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:12.959
<v Speaker 2>see what you say because I wouldn't be surprised if

0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:14.520
<v Speaker 2>it's like you and your friends.

0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:18.120
<v Speaker 3>Oh my gosh, have you ever seen romy Michelle's high school?

0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:19.399
<v Speaker 2>Yes, of course.

0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:23.040
<v Speaker 4>I just rewatched that the other day and I was like, Hartford,

0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:24.879
<v Speaker 4>I know you're not old enough, but we're gonna sit

0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:25.960
<v Speaker 4>and watch it now.

0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Hartford is your five year old daughter, right, yes, and

0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:31.600
<v Speaker 2>you have two kids and a three year old boy.

0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:34.040
<v Speaker 3>He's about to be three in September.

0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:37.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh. Do you notice a big differences between

0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:39.280
<v Speaker 2>having a boy and having a girl.

0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:40.280
<v Speaker 4>Yes?

0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:42.920
<v Speaker 2>Why are they so different?

0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:45.280
<v Speaker 4>They're so different and like this is the thing, like

0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:47.440
<v Speaker 4>Hartford was like a difficult toddler.

0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:52.639
<v Speaker 3>But nothing actually, like you know, prepares you for boy energy.

0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:57.320
<v Speaker 4>I know, they just don't stop like everything like actually,

0:17:57.359 --> 0:17:59.520
<v Speaker 4>like people do try and prepare you. They talk about

0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:01.960
<v Speaker 4>how like boy are crazy. Boys are insaying boys are different,

0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:07.480
<v Speaker 4>but like it really is true in my opinion, in.

0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:09.560
<v Speaker 2>My experience, my experience, Yeah.

0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:11.480
<v Speaker 3>They're just tornadoes.

0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:13.879
<v Speaker 4>Like if it were up to Hartford, they would just

0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:16.600
<v Speaker 4>sit and play together, love each other, take care of

0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:17.000
<v Speaker 4>each other.

0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:19.679
<v Speaker 3>But Messer's like, no, I'm here to shit up.

0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:22.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah exactly, why I why would I sit in color.

0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:26.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh I think not, Yes, yeah, my kids wake up.

0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:30.919
<v Speaker 2>I've always described it as like six thirty in the morning,

0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:34.199
<v Speaker 2>opening the door and my son. I'll never forget my

0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:37.040
<v Speaker 2>son standing up in his crib and going I am

0:18:38.920 --> 0:18:43.120
<v Speaker 2>and I was like, already, this is just from literally

0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:47.280
<v Speaker 2>opened his eyeballs and was in Hulk character and then

0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:49.520
<v Speaker 2>just go go, go, go, go, go go until they

0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:50.879
<v Speaker 2>lay their head on the pillow, and then it's just

0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:54.160
<v Speaker 2>like yeah, and that's the only it's the only piece

0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:54.560
<v Speaker 2>you get.

0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:58.399
<v Speaker 3>That's it. I have two boys, so it's just I know,

0:18:58.480 --> 0:18:59.600
<v Speaker 3>what are their age differences?

0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:03.000
<v Speaker 2>How old are My oldest just turned seven and my

0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:05.720
<v Speaker 2>youngest is about to be five, so there's twenty six

0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:06.879
<v Speaker 2>months between the two of them.

0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:09.000
<v Speaker 3>It's kind of like Harford and Messer a little bit,

0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:09.399
<v Speaker 3>a little bit.

0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:14.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yes, you know, yeah, I know what it's like. Well,

0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:16.760
<v Speaker 2>you wasted no time as a teenager. You moved out

0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:19.200
<v Speaker 2>to la at just eighteen years old to pursue a

0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:22.639
<v Speaker 2>career in Hollywood. Did you know anyone out here? I

0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:24.719
<v Speaker 2>feel like that could be such a scary choice.

0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:28.439
<v Speaker 4>So I've always felt a connection to La because my

0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:32.800
<v Speaker 4>grandparents had a home out here, and so we would

0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:36.800
<v Speaker 4>take or my dad would take me and my brother

0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:43.000
<v Speaker 4>out here every summer and I would experience life in

0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:46.840
<v Speaker 4>Los Angeles. You know, so I felt like it was

0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:50.120
<v Speaker 4>I was always been like tied to it, drawn to it.

0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:54.119
<v Speaker 4>I had family out here so that I didn't feel

0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:55.360
<v Speaker 4>completely alone.

0:19:56.320 --> 0:19:58.560
<v Speaker 3>I was always going to end up here.

0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:01.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, yeah, so it just felt like a second home

0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:06.600
<v Speaker 2>for you. Yeah, okay. Do you remember any weird moments

0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:09.240
<v Speaker 2>in that first year in LA where you going to auditions,

0:20:09.240 --> 0:20:11.640
<v Speaker 2>did you have a job, did you meet me weirdos?

0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:15.879
<v Speaker 3>That could be a four day long podcast.

0:20:17.600 --> 0:20:19.479
<v Speaker 4>I even remember the first day that I moved here

0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:21.960
<v Speaker 4>was actually on my birthday, Okay, it was on my

0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:26.000
<v Speaker 4>fourth It was my nineteenth birthday. It was the day

0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:29.320
<v Speaker 4>that I moved here. And this is before like phones

0:20:29.720 --> 0:20:31.439
<v Speaker 4>where you have like the map on your phone. I

0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:33.000
<v Speaker 4>didn't have a map on like in my car, Like

0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:36.960
<v Speaker 4>it was a physical map. And I was transferring to

0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:41.560
<v Speaker 4>Loyola Marry Mountain. I started like summer school there, and

0:20:42.720 --> 0:20:44.360
<v Speaker 4>I had to like print out.

0:20:44.160 --> 0:20:47.639
<v Speaker 3>Map quest directions to Merrymount and then to Target.

0:20:48.240 --> 0:20:51.480
<v Speaker 4>And I bought a boxed DVDs of Saved by the

0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:53.679
<v Speaker 4>Bell because like that was one of my comfort shows also,

0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:57.040
<v Speaker 4>and so I spent my eighteenth birthday alone in a dorm.

0:20:57.720 --> 0:21:00.240
<v Speaker 4>It's like watching Saved by the Bell eating like your

0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:03.439
<v Speaker 4>no pizza. So that was like the start of my

0:21:03.600 --> 0:21:07.760
<v Speaker 4>journey here. But there were a trillion weird moments. I

0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:08.560
<v Speaker 4>wouldn't even.

0:21:08.440 --> 0:21:12.159
<v Speaker 3>Know how to narrow it down. Collyhood can be really weird.

0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:19.960
<v Speaker 4>You need to have a strong sense of self to.

0:21:18.359 --> 0:21:22.000
<v Speaker 3>Be able to get out of weird situations.

0:21:22.080 --> 0:21:25.119
<v Speaker 4>You have to I think I I'm really lucky that

0:21:25.200 --> 0:21:29.040
<v Speaker 4>I have like this weird intuition where like when I

0:21:29.160 --> 0:21:31.720
<v Speaker 4>enter a room, if the vibes are off, you can

0:21:31.720 --> 0:21:36.000
<v Speaker 4>find feeling it right away, and I'm leaving like I'm out.

0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:38.919
<v Speaker 4>I don't care if I feel weird about something. I

0:21:38.920 --> 0:21:41.280
<v Speaker 4>could just enter a room and feel like the vibes

0:21:41.280 --> 0:21:44.440
<v Speaker 4>are off, I'm out. Yeah, you're like, Okay, I'm really

0:21:44.520 --> 0:21:49.200
<v Speaker 4>lucky to like get myself out of weird situations.

0:21:49.240 --> 0:21:53.000
<v Speaker 2>But like start place, it actually just is a weird

0:21:53.000 --> 0:21:55.680
<v Speaker 2>place that I think. It's just yeah, it can be.

0:21:55.440 --> 0:21:56.119
<v Speaker 1>It is.

0:21:56.520 --> 0:22:00.479
<v Speaker 2>Do you have a worst job that you remember, like like, oh, this,

0:22:00.600 --> 0:22:03.000
<v Speaker 2>of all the jobs I've ever had, this is the worst.

0:22:05.400 --> 0:22:07.399
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I was a Halloween costume model.

0:22:09.119 --> 0:22:12.600
<v Speaker 2>That kind of sounds amazing. What did you not like it?

0:22:12.640 --> 0:22:14.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean, of course you had to be sexy cats.

0:22:14.400 --> 0:22:15.640
<v Speaker 2>Sexy cat I think.

0:22:15.480 --> 0:22:18.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it was like a lot of like sexy stuff.

0:22:18.880 --> 0:22:21.480
<v Speaker 4>And so I'm just like that wasn't the best. And

0:22:21.520 --> 0:22:23.280
<v Speaker 4>it was like really weird the way that like they

0:22:23.320 --> 0:22:26.600
<v Speaker 4>auditioned us, Like we had to drive to their house.

0:22:26.880 --> 0:22:29.199
<v Speaker 4>And I'm gonna say, like, so I modeled for multiple

0:22:29.240 --> 0:22:32.040
<v Speaker 4>Halloween costume companies, so like I'm not gonna say which

0:22:32.040 --> 0:22:35.880
<v Speaker 4>one it is. Okay, we had to drive to their

0:22:35.920 --> 0:22:38.440
<v Speaker 4>house and I probably found out about this on model.

0:22:38.480 --> 0:22:42.639
<v Speaker 3>Mayhemm remember that? Yeah? Yes, embarrassing, Okay. I had to

0:22:42.720 --> 0:22:45.080
<v Speaker 3>drive to their house and they wasn't it. They weren't.

0:22:45.119 --> 0:22:47.960
<v Speaker 4>It's not like this like man and woman. They weren't

0:22:47.960 --> 0:22:49.960
<v Speaker 4>even like in a dining room or a sitting area

0:22:50.040 --> 0:22:53.400
<v Speaker 4>or a living room. I was instructed to go upstairs to.

0:22:53.480 --> 0:22:56.600
<v Speaker 3>Their room and they weren't just laying in bed, just.

0:22:56.520 --> 0:22:59.440
<v Speaker 4>Like they're fully clothed and all that stuff, right, laying

0:22:59.480 --> 0:23:01.680
<v Speaker 4>in bed as of like that's like kind of where

0:23:01.720 --> 0:23:03.280
<v Speaker 4>they hang out, do you know what I mean?

0:23:03.760 --> 0:23:06.280
<v Speaker 3>Like, so like I'm not somebody who eats in my bed.

0:23:07.200 --> 0:23:10.160
<v Speaker 3>I sleep and correct and watch TikTok in my bed.

0:23:10.200 --> 0:23:13.679
<v Speaker 3>That's what I do. It's like they kind of lived.

0:23:13.440 --> 0:23:16.040
<v Speaker 4>Out of their bedroom and I walked in and they

0:23:16.040 --> 0:23:20.520
<v Speaker 4>were just like okay, like show me your like stomach

0:23:20.560 --> 0:23:22.240
<v Speaker 4>in your boobs with your bathing suit on, and so

0:23:22.280 --> 0:23:23.560
<v Speaker 4>I kind of just had to like lift up my

0:23:23.600 --> 0:23:27.080
<v Speaker 4>shirt and they were like okay, great, we'll be in touch,

0:23:27.680 --> 0:23:30.120
<v Speaker 4>and like that's how I got how you got the job.

0:23:30.800 --> 0:23:35.600
<v Speaker 4>And I'm like, wow, that's strange.

0:23:35.960 --> 0:23:36.560
<v Speaker 3>That was weird.

0:23:36.680 --> 0:23:37.960
<v Speaker 2>That's a that's a weird job.

0:23:38.200 --> 0:23:39.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's a weird one.

0:23:39.400 --> 0:23:41.560
<v Speaker 2>That is a weird one. I will say that when

0:23:41.600 --> 0:23:44.760
<v Speaker 2>you first mentioned trying on, you know, modeling Halloween costumes,

0:23:44.480 --> 0:23:48.760
<v Speaker 2>I did think, well, that's fun. After hearing the audition process.

0:23:48.640 --> 0:23:51.320
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I think that's what made it weird. Like you're right,

0:23:51.400 --> 0:23:51.920
<v Speaker 3>that's like, of.

0:23:51.880 --> 0:23:54.760
<v Speaker 4>Course, trying on costumes and like doing different hair and

0:23:54.840 --> 0:23:57.280
<v Speaker 4>makeup like that part of it does become fun. Yeah,

0:23:57.640 --> 0:24:00.560
<v Speaker 4>It's just like there was like an undercurrent of weirdness

0:24:00.800 --> 0:24:01.320
<v Speaker 4>no matter what.

0:24:01.600 --> 0:24:04.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, anytime someone asks you to come into their bedroom,

0:24:05.240 --> 0:24:07.560
<v Speaker 2>you're like hmm okay.

0:24:07.320 --> 0:24:10.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, honestly, I'm gonna be so annoyed after this episode,

0:24:10.680 --> 0:24:12.560
<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna think of so many

0:24:12.640 --> 0:24:14.919
<v Speaker 4>other jobs that were so much worse than that. I

0:24:15.000 --> 0:24:16.919
<v Speaker 4>just like don't know why they're not popping up in

0:24:17.000 --> 0:24:17.800
<v Speaker 4>my head right now.

0:24:19.480 --> 0:24:22.760
<v Speaker 2>Don't worry about it. There's so many odd jobs, but

0:24:22.800 --> 0:24:26.200
<v Speaker 2>that doesn't necessarily mean they were the worst. I think

0:24:26.240 --> 0:24:28.720
<v Speaker 2>you picked a pretty good one because you're you just

0:24:28.800 --> 0:24:30.720
<v Speaker 2>mentioned that you could walk into a room and feel

0:24:30.760 --> 0:24:32.520
<v Speaker 2>the vibes were off, and I think that's the that

0:24:32.560 --> 0:24:35.080
<v Speaker 2>came to your mind as your first worst job for

0:24:35.119 --> 0:24:51.920
<v Speaker 2>a reason. Yeah, your reality TV career started much earlier

0:24:51.960 --> 0:24:54.160
<v Speaker 2>than when you first met Lisa vander Pump. You were

0:24:54.160 --> 0:24:58.359
<v Speaker 2>on The Amazing Race at just sixteen years old with

0:24:58.440 --> 0:25:01.800
<v Speaker 2>your dad, your stepmom, and your younger brother. How did

0:25:01.840 --> 0:25:02.399
<v Speaker 2>that happen?

0:25:03.200 --> 0:25:06.040
<v Speaker 3>I think that's like really my origin story.

0:25:06.200 --> 0:25:09.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, like you were born on that day that.

0:25:10.040 --> 0:25:11.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's like that's where it all began.

0:25:11.920 --> 0:25:14.680
<v Speaker 4>So my dad was really obsessed with Survivor and The

0:25:14.720 --> 0:25:17.720
<v Speaker 4>Amazing Race and he had been aud auditioning for the

0:25:17.960 --> 0:25:19.719
<v Speaker 4>first Survivor and never got it.

0:25:19.720 --> 0:25:21.200
<v Speaker 3>Would come close, but never got it.

0:25:21.600 --> 0:25:24.040
<v Speaker 4>And then he saw after like one episode of the

0:25:24.080 --> 0:25:27.880
<v Speaker 4>Amazing Race. They were doing a family audition and he

0:25:28.000 --> 0:25:30.120
<v Speaker 4>was like took it as a sign from God and

0:25:30.160 --> 0:25:33.479
<v Speaker 4>like made us all make an audition video like the

0:25:33.560 --> 0:25:38.199
<v Speaker 4>old school way submit it. We got called. Then we

0:25:38.240 --> 0:25:39.280
<v Speaker 4>went through all these.

0:25:39.200 --> 0:25:41.520
<v Speaker 3>Rounds of auditions and.

0:25:41.320 --> 0:25:44.560
<v Speaker 4>Stuff like that, and we finally made it on the show.

0:25:44.720 --> 0:25:48.400
<v Speaker 4>We got like eliminated like in like episode I after

0:25:48.520 --> 0:25:50.760
<v Speaker 4>like the fourth episode or something in New Orleans, which

0:25:50.840 --> 0:25:51.560
<v Speaker 4>was so embarrassing.

0:25:53.200 --> 0:25:58.119
<v Speaker 3>But that's when like, I guess I got the reality TV.

0:25:59.240 --> 0:26:00.840
<v Speaker 4>But I don't know if it's even the bug because

0:26:00.840 --> 0:26:03.560
<v Speaker 4>I felt like I never chased it. Like after that,

0:26:03.680 --> 0:26:06.760
<v Speaker 4>I moved to la and the same people who cast

0:26:06.760 --> 0:26:09.239
<v Speaker 4>me on The Amazing Race someone called me and was like,

0:26:09.400 --> 0:26:12.120
<v Speaker 4>we also want you to do this reality show for

0:26:12.720 --> 0:26:14.679
<v Speaker 4>the End Network called Queen Bees.

0:26:14.760 --> 0:26:17.200
<v Speaker 3>And I'm like, sure, sum me up. What's it about.

0:26:17.240 --> 0:26:20.240
<v Speaker 4>They're like, it's about like you know, the they worded

0:26:20.240 --> 0:26:22.280
<v Speaker 4>it differently than when we got there. They were like,

0:26:22.720 --> 0:26:26.600
<v Speaker 4>you know, it's like popular girls that like are gonna

0:26:26.640 --> 0:26:28.119
<v Speaker 4>like hang out with each other and live in a

0:26:28.160 --> 0:26:30.359
<v Speaker 4>house for like a month, and we were like I

0:26:30.400 --> 0:26:33.120
<v Speaker 4>was like okay, And then I came to find out

0:26:33.119 --> 0:26:36.600
<v Speaker 4>it was like the bitchy girls that need to be reformed.

0:26:36.800 --> 0:26:38.040
<v Speaker 2>That's what's a beast for.

0:26:38.880 --> 0:26:40.760
<v Speaker 3>Yes, and I still was even okay with it. I

0:26:40.800 --> 0:26:42.120
<v Speaker 3>was like, I can make up stories.

0:26:42.240 --> 0:26:44.240
<v Speaker 4>I like made up stories that I would like haze

0:26:44.320 --> 0:26:46.359
<v Speaker 4>people in cemeteries, like I didn't do any of that,

0:26:48.400 --> 0:26:50.679
<v Speaker 4>but I was like, I'll lean in, you know, for

0:26:50.800 --> 0:26:54.360
<v Speaker 4>the sake of a show. And then after that, like

0:26:54.520 --> 0:26:56.879
<v Speaker 4>Vanner Pumper was literally landed in my lap because I

0:26:56.960 --> 0:27:02.000
<v Speaker 4>was actually just working at Sir restaurant, and then the

0:27:02.040 --> 0:27:03.639
<v Speaker 4>producers came in there, like we want to do a

0:27:03.680 --> 0:27:04.520
<v Speaker 4>show about you guys.

0:27:04.920 --> 0:27:06.600
<v Speaker 3>So it was like destiny.

0:27:06.760 --> 0:27:08.840
<v Speaker 2>It was just destiny. It was like once you, once

0:27:08.880 --> 0:27:12.280
<v Speaker 2>you dipped your toe into reality TV, reality TV really

0:27:12.320 --> 0:27:13.320
<v Speaker 2>sank its claws into you.

0:27:13.640 --> 0:27:13.880
<v Speaker 4>Yes.

0:27:15.840 --> 0:27:19.560
<v Speaker 2>I also truly love that there are there are so

0:27:19.680 --> 0:27:22.200
<v Speaker 2>many people out there who wouldn't have to make up

0:27:22.240 --> 0:27:26.440
<v Speaker 2>stories about them doing bad things. And you were literally

0:27:26.480 --> 0:27:29.280
<v Speaker 2>like I was, I was really good. I was a

0:27:29.320 --> 0:27:31.800
<v Speaker 2>really good girl, and i didn't never get in an

0:27:31.880 --> 0:27:34.960
<v Speaker 2>any trouble, So I'm gonna have to make up stories.

0:27:36.080 --> 0:27:37.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and you.

0:27:37.480 --> 0:27:40.600
<v Speaker 2>Just leaned in. I love that. So did you ever

0:27:40.680 --> 0:27:45.520
<v Speaker 2>have reservations about starring on reality TV with vander Pump

0:27:45.560 --> 0:27:46.280
<v Speaker 2>like or was.

0:27:47.880 --> 0:27:53.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeh yeah, because I had been just slowly eased into it.

0:27:53.600 --> 0:27:55.720
<v Speaker 3>And I also think that that's what keeps me like.

0:27:57.480 --> 0:27:59.800
<v Speaker 4>Normal right now, is that like I never had like

0:28:00.240 --> 0:28:02.240
<v Speaker 4>overnight success. Right.

0:28:02.320 --> 0:28:03.840
<v Speaker 3>So it's like, I we did.

0:28:03.680 --> 0:28:05.679
<v Speaker 4>The Amazing Race, and I get like a little taste

0:28:05.680 --> 0:28:07.480
<v Speaker 4>of like what fame is and what it means for

0:28:07.520 --> 0:28:09.280
<v Speaker 4>people to know you or whisper about you or.

0:28:09.280 --> 0:28:09.879
<v Speaker 3>Talk about you.

0:28:10.080 --> 0:28:12.280
<v Speaker 4>Right, and then I, you know, did this like Queen

0:28:12.320 --> 0:28:14.480
<v Speaker 4>Bee Show, and it's just like a little bit more you.

0:28:14.400 --> 0:28:15.800
<v Speaker 3>Know what I mean, And I'm like, oh, okay.

0:28:16.520 --> 0:28:19.400
<v Speaker 4>And then but like I'm still like broke, like having

0:28:19.480 --> 0:28:21.960
<v Speaker 4>to work, get a job, work at a restaurant all that.

0:28:22.040 --> 0:28:25.639
<v Speaker 4>Like I'm still like staying stayed humble. And then we

0:28:25.680 --> 0:28:28.960
<v Speaker 4>get Banner Pump Rolls and we never felt as a

0:28:29.000 --> 0:28:33.480
<v Speaker 4>cast like we were successful, Like we never felt that

0:28:33.520 --> 0:28:36.919
<v Speaker 4>way like it. I think like the first time that

0:28:37.000 --> 0:28:39.520
<v Speaker 4>I felt like a successful person was like not until

0:28:39.560 --> 0:28:44.000
<v Speaker 4>like season five, when I was like getting opportunities because

0:28:44.040 --> 0:28:47.600
<v Speaker 4>of my podcast. Like I never felt like in the

0:28:47.760 --> 0:28:49.680
<v Speaker 4>I think the whole cast would say the same thing,

0:28:49.960 --> 0:28:52.520
<v Speaker 4>like we we didn't get really get paid a lot

0:28:52.560 --> 0:28:54.640
<v Speaker 4>of money until or a decent amount until.

0:28:54.440 --> 0:28:57.640
<v Speaker 3>Like season three, and even so.

0:28:57.720 --> 0:29:00.840
<v Speaker 4>It wasn't like that much and so it was very

0:29:00.880 --> 0:29:03.680
<v Speaker 4>slow and it was like niche, I don't really remember

0:29:03.720 --> 0:29:05.200
<v Speaker 4>it like fully popping off.

0:29:05.680 --> 0:29:09.200
<v Speaker 3>So like to this day, it's like, are we successful?

0:29:09.520 --> 0:29:12.080
<v Speaker 3>Are we well know? We like don't we don't know?

0:29:13.080 --> 0:29:15.600
<v Speaker 2>You definitely are? I mean, I understand how, you know,

0:29:15.640 --> 0:29:18.360
<v Speaker 2>back in twenty twelve, it's a little it's a little

0:29:18.400 --> 0:29:23.240
<v Speaker 2>before like the Bravo verse became what it is now.

0:29:24.120 --> 0:29:26.280
<v Speaker 2>So I can see how there was like a slow

0:29:26.320 --> 0:29:30.120
<v Speaker 2>building of calluses to what it meant to be a

0:29:30.160 --> 0:29:33.440
<v Speaker 2>reality TV star because you had little tastes of it

0:29:33.760 --> 0:29:36.280
<v Speaker 2>and it wasn't quite as mainstream as it is now.

0:29:36.560 --> 0:29:39.480
<v Speaker 2>But I I mean, I think it is always It's

0:29:39.520 --> 0:29:42.640
<v Speaker 2>one of my favorite things when big stars are interviewed

0:29:42.640 --> 0:29:45.560
<v Speaker 2>on a red carpet, from Seth Rogan to Meryl Streep

0:29:45.760 --> 0:29:49.560
<v Speaker 2>to Rihanna to Michelle Obama and they are all obsessed

0:29:49.680 --> 0:29:54.000
<v Speaker 2>with Bravo and in a lot of cases, specifically vander

0:29:54.040 --> 0:29:58.280
<v Speaker 2>Pump Rules, there are great red carpet videos of celebrities

0:29:58.320 --> 0:30:01.400
<v Speaker 2>fangirling when they meet anyone from the shows. Have you

0:30:01.600 --> 0:30:05.640
<v Speaker 2>had any like real surprising run ins with famous people

0:30:05.920 --> 0:30:10.960
<v Speaker 2>who surprisingly know all about your personal life.

0:30:11.080 --> 0:30:14.160
<v Speaker 3>Jennifer Lawrence was a big one that was so great.

0:30:14.880 --> 0:30:18.560
<v Speaker 4>I remember remember she got my number from I had

0:30:18.560 --> 0:30:21.520
<v Speaker 4>like Amy Schumer and Andy Cohen dming me and they

0:30:22.400 --> 0:30:23.400
<v Speaker 4>can I have your number?

0:30:23.520 --> 0:30:29.120
<v Speaker 3>Jennifer Lawrence wants it and I'm like what, And I

0:30:29.160 --> 0:30:29.800
<v Speaker 3>remember I.

0:30:29.720 --> 0:30:32.240
<v Speaker 4>Was watching it was like the final scene of a

0:30:32.360 --> 0:30:34.400
<v Speaker 4>season of Game of Thrones rip.

0:30:34.760 --> 0:30:38.400
<v Speaker 3>I know, yeah, I know. And I had like no

0:30:38.560 --> 0:30:39.080
<v Speaker 3>makeup on.

0:30:39.360 --> 0:30:42.120
<v Speaker 4>I was with bo at the time in my apartment

0:30:42.160 --> 0:30:44.840
<v Speaker 4>and I had like rose, I was Rose shout out.

0:30:45.000 --> 0:30:47.640
<v Speaker 3>My psoriasis was flaring. I looked like I'd just been

0:30:48.520 --> 0:30:50.760
<v Speaker 3>like like I don't know, like hit by a bus.

0:30:50.760 --> 0:30:51.920
<v Speaker 3>Like I was like, not cute.

0:30:52.560 --> 0:30:55.680
<v Speaker 4>I saw that Jennifer Lawrence was facetiming me, and like

0:30:55.800 --> 0:30:58.040
<v Speaker 4>I was like I have to answer, and so she

0:30:58.600 --> 0:31:01.640
<v Speaker 4>right after they had DMed me this, she facetimed me.

0:31:02.280 --> 0:31:06.479
<v Speaker 3>And that was just like a crazy awesome moment.

0:31:06.720 --> 0:31:08.520
<v Speaker 2>What did she say? Did she just say I love you?

0:31:08.800 --> 0:31:09.560
<v Speaker 1>I can't even.

0:31:09.440 --> 0:31:11.240
<v Speaker 3>Honestly, I think it blacked out. I don't even remember

0:31:11.240 --> 0:31:11.840
<v Speaker 3>what she said.

0:31:13.360 --> 0:31:16.640
<v Speaker 4>But ever since then, she's always been really lovely. If

0:31:16.680 --> 0:31:18.480
<v Speaker 4>I'd ever run into her and stuff like that. But

0:31:18.560 --> 0:31:21.000
<v Speaker 4>I remember just being like, oh my god, she's seeing

0:31:21.040 --> 0:31:23.080
<v Speaker 4>me at my absolute worst right now.

0:31:23.720 --> 0:31:27.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's a good one. When fans run up to

0:31:27.800 --> 0:31:31.000
<v Speaker 2>me on the street and they have questions about a

0:31:31.040 --> 0:31:35.520
<v Speaker 2>completely fictional character I played, that makes sense to me.

0:31:35.640 --> 0:31:38.560
<v Speaker 2>But with you, they have to have full on opinions

0:31:38.640 --> 0:31:42.480
<v Speaker 2>about your love life and your friends and associated drama

0:31:42.520 --> 0:31:44.959
<v Speaker 2>and your actual existence. Does that ever make you feel

0:31:45.360 --> 0:31:48.880
<v Speaker 2>kind of crazy that people just freely share their opinions

0:31:48.880 --> 0:31:49.760
<v Speaker 2>on your real life.

0:31:51.640 --> 0:31:54.720
<v Speaker 4>People have shared their opinions to my face less and less.

0:31:54.720 --> 0:31:57.400
<v Speaker 3>It used to happen a lot more on Vanner pump roles.

0:31:57.200 --> 0:32:00.920
<v Speaker 4>Okay, where I'd be like, okay, be like I think

0:32:00.960 --> 0:32:03.520
<v Speaker 4>that you should give Jacks another shot, just like things

0:32:03.560 --> 0:32:03.920
<v Speaker 4>like that.

0:32:05.760 --> 0:32:11.160
<v Speaker 3>Oh thank you. So it used to be like that.

0:32:11.400 --> 0:32:14.360
<v Speaker 3>Now people are.

0:32:13.880 --> 0:32:15.920
<v Speaker 4>More so come up and they want to talk about

0:32:16.360 --> 0:32:19.760
<v Speaker 4>my kids and my husband and they just like compliment, right,

0:32:20.480 --> 0:32:25.000
<v Speaker 4>family and stuff like that. I think the most unnerving thing, really, though,

0:32:25.120 --> 0:32:27.400
<v Speaker 4>is like when people come up and they've only seen

0:32:27.480 --> 0:32:30.360
<v Speaker 4>like the first few seasons of Vanner Pumples, or they're

0:32:30.400 --> 0:32:30.960
<v Speaker 4>just starting it.

0:32:31.000 --> 0:32:32.800
<v Speaker 3>Or something, and they see me in person and.

0:32:32.680 --> 0:32:37.040
<v Speaker 4>They think I'm this like tough girl bitch, right, and

0:32:37.080 --> 0:32:38.960
<v Speaker 4>they like come up to me with the same energy

0:32:39.000 --> 0:32:41.040
<v Speaker 4>and they're like, I'm a bitch too, and I'm like

0:32:41.360 --> 0:32:43.160
<v Speaker 4>you and me like we're the same, and I'm.

0:32:42.960 --> 0:32:46.920
<v Speaker 3>Like, I'm I'm so sorry to break this to you,

0:32:47.040 --> 0:32:48.520
<v Speaker 3>like I'm thirty eight.

0:32:48.960 --> 0:32:55.040
<v Speaker 4>Uh, I'm tired now, Like it's really it's not. I'm

0:32:55.080 --> 0:32:57.840
<v Speaker 4>actually like really polite in person, Like I don't I'm

0:32:57.840 --> 0:33:00.880
<v Speaker 4>not like bitchy to stranger. It's like I'm a raging,

0:33:00.960 --> 0:33:04.120
<v Speaker 4>lunatic bitch when someone betrays me, right right, I mean

0:33:04.760 --> 0:33:05.400
<v Speaker 4>that's when.

0:33:05.240 --> 0:33:07.760
<v Speaker 3>That comes out. I'm not like that to just like

0:33:07.840 --> 0:33:11.520
<v Speaker 3>people on the street. That's how I operate.

0:33:12.200 --> 0:33:15.000
<v Speaker 4>But people want me to be tough when they meet me,

0:33:15.040 --> 0:33:16.520
<v Speaker 4>and I feel like I kind of like let them

0:33:16.520 --> 0:33:18.800
<v Speaker 4>down because I'm just like that sweetness.

0:33:18.920 --> 0:33:20.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you're like, I'm sorry.

0:33:20.800 --> 0:33:25.760
<v Speaker 3>Can I give you a hug? Yes? I know.

0:33:25.840 --> 0:33:29.600
<v Speaker 2>You hosted the Mormon Wives Season three reunion and I

0:33:29.640 --> 0:33:33.280
<v Speaker 2>am sure you followed the situation around Taylor Frankie Paul

0:33:33.840 --> 0:33:36.920
<v Speaker 2>and since you've been vocal about your own struggles when

0:33:37.040 --> 0:33:39.520
<v Speaker 2>personal growth and how hard it is to sometimes live

0:33:39.640 --> 0:33:43.320
<v Speaker 2>a normal life while surrounded by reality TV cameras. I

0:33:43.360 --> 0:33:45.080
<v Speaker 2>just wanted to hear your take on where do you

0:33:45.120 --> 0:33:47.520
<v Speaker 2>think she goes from here? What do you think the

0:33:47.560 --> 0:33:48.719
<v Speaker 2>next step ish for her?

0:33:49.360 --> 0:33:49.560
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

0:33:49.560 --> 0:33:51.720
<v Speaker 3>God, I really do care about all of those girls

0:33:51.720 --> 0:33:52.000
<v Speaker 3>a lot.

0:33:52.040 --> 0:33:55.240
<v Speaker 4>I feel like I might have like big sister energy whenever,

0:33:55.320 --> 0:33:57.520
<v Speaker 4>like they're in town, I see them, whenever I'm like

0:33:57.600 --> 0:33:59.479
<v Speaker 4>near them, like we make it a point to have

0:33:59.560 --> 0:34:03.280
<v Speaker 4>like lunch, dinner and hang out. I really care about them,

0:34:03.640 --> 0:34:07.440
<v Speaker 4>which has made this very hard for me to stomach.

0:34:07.760 --> 0:34:11.400
<v Speaker 4>Like the videos you know that we're out there and

0:34:11.480 --> 0:34:16.799
<v Speaker 4>circulating really hurt to see. And so there's like a

0:34:16.960 --> 0:34:19.880
<v Speaker 4>you know, the mom in me at first wants to

0:34:19.960 --> 0:34:24.960
<v Speaker 4>just be like how could you? But then the human

0:34:25.000 --> 0:34:30.080
<v Speaker 4>being in me is like, we don't know what drove her.

0:34:29.960 --> 0:34:30.680
<v Speaker 3>To I don't know.

0:34:30.760 --> 0:34:31.760
<v Speaker 2>We don't see them before.

0:34:32.280 --> 0:34:34.520
<v Speaker 4>You don't see the before. And I think that's really important.

0:34:35.280 --> 0:34:39.160
<v Speaker 4>I think that as long as you are breathing and living,

0:34:39.960 --> 0:34:43.839
<v Speaker 4>you are able to change who you are and who

0:34:43.920 --> 0:34:46.120
<v Speaker 4>you if who you are is not who you want

0:34:46.120 --> 0:34:47.279
<v Speaker 4>to be at any moment in life.

0:34:47.360 --> 0:34:49.840
<v Speaker 3>That is the beauty of living.

0:34:49.880 --> 0:34:53.040
<v Speaker 4>Is that, like it is never too late to shift

0:34:53.120 --> 0:34:56.719
<v Speaker 4>the narrative of your life to change the story the

0:34:56.760 --> 0:34:59.920
<v Speaker 4>trajectory of your life, to change shift who.

0:34:59.760 --> 0:35:00.239
<v Speaker 3>You are are.

0:35:00.960 --> 0:35:03.839
<v Speaker 4>And I think that she has this opportunity, especially when

0:35:03.880 --> 0:35:06.640
<v Speaker 4>you feel like you're at the lowest point in your life.

0:35:07.120 --> 0:35:13.720
<v Speaker 4>That to me is a great gift, because the sky's

0:35:13.719 --> 0:35:16.319
<v Speaker 4>the limit. You can be any when you want to be.

0:35:16.360 --> 0:35:18.960
<v Speaker 4>When you're on top of the world, you're too scared

0:35:18.960 --> 0:35:21.760
<v Speaker 4>to change yourself and you're not thinking of changing yourself

0:35:21.840 --> 0:35:24.879
<v Speaker 4>or of being better because why you're getting everything you want.

0:35:25.480 --> 0:35:26.320
<v Speaker 3>But like when you're.

0:35:26.160 --> 0:35:29.960
<v Speaker 4>At the lowest place, you can make that decision to

0:35:30.280 --> 0:35:33.640
<v Speaker 4>be better. I would love to see her just like

0:35:33.760 --> 0:35:37.400
<v Speaker 4>take a break from social media and like heal herself

0:35:38.040 --> 0:35:42.280
<v Speaker 4>and then in a year or two like come back

0:35:42.640 --> 0:35:45.239
<v Speaker 4>and like really inspire the rest.

0:35:45.000 --> 0:35:48.240
<v Speaker 3>Of the world. Like that's like what I want for Taylor.

0:35:48.280 --> 0:35:51.479
<v Speaker 2>Frank you, Paul, I think that's so smart. The taking

0:35:51.560 --> 0:35:55.879
<v Speaker 2>a break from social media is so important. I don't

0:35:55.880 --> 0:35:59.360
<v Speaker 2>think when you're in it you realize how much of

0:35:59.400 --> 0:36:02.400
<v Speaker 2>an impact it's having on your day to day decisions

0:36:02.480 --> 0:36:06.640
<v Speaker 2>and even just your you're thinking, you know, you're so

0:36:06.760 --> 0:36:09.400
<v Speaker 2>I I completely agree with you, and I hope she

0:36:09.520 --> 0:36:24.520
<v Speaker 2>does that as well. I have a question that is

0:36:25.400 --> 0:36:33.240
<v Speaker 2>very important. We are both ranch dressing aficionados experts, even

0:36:33.880 --> 0:36:38.160
<v Speaker 2>we can both acknowledge that not all ranch is created equal.

0:36:38.000 --> 0:36:38.920
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely not.

0:36:39.000 --> 0:36:42.399
<v Speaker 2>I am absolutely no. What do you think makes a

0:36:42.440 --> 0:36:43.560
<v Speaker 2>good ranch dressing?

0:36:44.200 --> 0:36:44.399
<v Speaker 1>Well?

0:36:44.440 --> 0:36:46.839
<v Speaker 4>To me, it's just like the homemade packet, like you

0:36:46.840 --> 0:36:49.280
<v Speaker 4>give you buy the ranch packet, the Hidden Valley still

0:36:49.480 --> 0:36:52.759
<v Speaker 4>still Hidden Valley ranch packet and you make that with

0:36:53.200 --> 0:36:55.920
<v Speaker 4>you know, sour creb and mayonnaise than milk, like the

0:36:55.960 --> 0:36:58.480
<v Speaker 4>real way, and like that, you know, I like it

0:36:58.520 --> 0:37:01.239
<v Speaker 4>to be. It's like a concert distancy because like the

0:37:01.280 --> 0:37:03.759
<v Speaker 4>bottled Hidden Valley is not the same and doesn't even

0:37:03.800 --> 0:37:06.360
<v Speaker 4>have safe flavor. It's actually kind of crazy. It is

0:37:06.480 --> 0:37:08.640
<v Speaker 4>literally actual apples and oranges.

0:37:09.120 --> 0:37:12.120
<v Speaker 3>You can compare the two. I don't know if it's

0:37:12.120 --> 0:37:13.239
<v Speaker 3>it's the right consistency.

0:37:13.239 --> 0:37:18.759
<v Speaker 4>It can't be too liquidy, it can't be too gelice, yes, gelatinous.

0:37:19.680 --> 0:37:21.799
<v Speaker 4>It also has to have like the right amount of

0:37:21.880 --> 0:37:26.120
<v Speaker 4>just like dill sting. I don't want a weak ranch. Nope,

0:37:26.360 --> 0:37:30.879
<v Speaker 4>don't give me a flavorless ranch. But it's like when

0:37:30.920 --> 0:37:33.399
<v Speaker 4>you know it, like when you find it, you.

0:37:33.320 --> 0:37:35.719
<v Speaker 2>Know, oh yeah, I mean, for example, have you had

0:37:35.760 --> 0:37:37.280
<v Speaker 2>the ranch dressing at Mel's Diner?

0:37:37.800 --> 0:37:39.600
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, absolutely, a great ranch.

0:37:39.960 --> 0:37:43.680
<v Speaker 4>Nothing's better than like an iceberg salad with like cheddar

0:37:43.760 --> 0:37:47.120
<v Speaker 4>cheese and like shredded garrets and some tomatoes and that ranch.

0:37:47.400 --> 0:37:49.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that ranch perfect. Also, that's what that was my

0:37:49.800 --> 0:37:54.160
<v Speaker 2>go to at soup Plantation. That just oh my gosh,

0:37:54.640 --> 0:37:56.719
<v Speaker 2>you're missing out. Well, now you gotta go. Now, you

0:37:56.760 --> 0:37:59.879
<v Speaker 2>gotta find a sweet tomatoes or sweet whatever. The the

0:38:00.120 --> 0:38:04.480
<v Speaker 2>heck is this sweet tomato that's the sister sister property

0:38:04.680 --> 0:38:07.839
<v Speaker 2>to sup Plantation. What's it called Easton? Is that right?

0:38:07.880 --> 0:38:11.040
<v Speaker 2>Not sweet tomatoes? It is sweet tomatoes. Yeah, I know

0:38:11.040 --> 0:38:13.120
<v Speaker 2>what I'm talking about. Look at me, second guessing myself.

0:38:14.040 --> 0:38:17.360
<v Speaker 2>They have a great ranch as well. Also Red Robin

0:38:17.480 --> 0:38:21.120
<v Speaker 2>has a wonderful ranch. Do we have those in La yet?

0:38:21.160 --> 0:38:23.839
<v Speaker 2>Well in Northridge, there's one in Northridge. I can tell

0:38:23.880 --> 0:38:26.840
<v Speaker 2>you all the locations. I'll send you.

0:38:26.960 --> 0:38:31.560

<v Speaker 4>will have the.

0:38:38.120 --> 0:38:39.640
<v Speaker 2>to be the go to. Well, I'm glad we agree

0:38:39.640 --> 0:38:42.960
<v Speaker 2>about this. So you are ramping back up now for

0:38:43.040 --> 0:38:46.680
<v Speaker 2>a whole new era of stardom. House of Stassy debuts

0:38:46.800 --> 0:38:49.520
<v Speaker 2>on freeform and then streams the following day on Hulu

0:38:49.600 --> 0:38:52.840
<v Speaker 2>and Hulu on Disney Plus. Tell me why you wanted

0:38:53.280 --> 0:38:56.880
<v Speaker 2>to do this show and start this journey all over again.

0:38:57.719 --> 0:38:59.240
<v Speaker 3>Well, this has been a long ass journey.

0:38:59.239 --> 0:39:01.319
<v Speaker 4>We started this like over three and a half years ago,

0:39:01.360 --> 0:39:03.279
<v Speaker 4>before I even conceived my son.

0:39:03.440 --> 0:39:07.560
<v Speaker 3>Oh my gosh, I just, you know.

0:39:07.760 --> 0:39:09.520
<v Speaker 4>Going back to the fact that, like I started being

0:39:09.560 --> 0:39:11.359
<v Speaker 4>on reality TV when I was sixteen years old, It's

0:39:11.400 --> 0:39:14.040
<v Speaker 4>always just felt like a part of me, Like I've

0:39:14.040 --> 0:39:20.480
<v Speaker 4>spent longer on reality TV than off, and I wasn't

0:39:21.040 --> 0:39:24.080
<v Speaker 4>like my story was never just going to like end

0:39:24.120 --> 0:39:27.400
<v Speaker 4>at vander Pump Rules, like that was not going to

0:39:27.480 --> 0:39:28.760
<v Speaker 4>just be like it.

0:39:28.640 --> 0:39:29.880
<v Speaker 3>And then I'm I'm done.

0:39:30.000 --> 0:39:32.200
<v Speaker 4>So I always knew that I wanted to just like

0:39:33.280 --> 0:39:37.520
<v Speaker 4>do something else. But after I had kids, I was like,

0:39:37.560 --> 0:39:44.160
<v Speaker 4>if I'm not the executive producer of it, yep, then no. So,

0:39:44.239 --> 0:39:45.840
<v Speaker 4>like I knew that if I was ever going to

0:39:45.920 --> 0:39:48.000
<v Speaker 4>do something, I would have to go and make it

0:39:48.080 --> 0:39:52.200
<v Speaker 4>happen myself, because I never wanted to put myself or

0:39:52.239 --> 0:39:55.520
<v Speaker 4>my family in a situation where like it's we have

0:39:55.640 --> 0:39:58.400
<v Speaker 4>no control over anything.

0:39:58.120 --> 0:39:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Right over how you're edited and made to look.

0:40:00.120 --> 0:40:04.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, and trust, like people are going to watch

0:40:04.120 --> 0:40:06.280
<v Speaker 4>this and be like she let this all out there,

0:40:06.360 --> 0:40:10.840
<v Speaker 4>Like I don't look great all the time on this show,

0:40:11.640 --> 0:40:13.920
<v Speaker 4>but like I wanted to be able to control what

0:40:13.920 --> 0:40:16.799
<v Speaker 4>people see in my children. Yeah, was it non negotiable?

0:40:17.480 --> 0:40:19.960
<v Speaker 4>And I just think reality TV is fun. It's just

0:40:20.000 --> 0:40:22.319
<v Speaker 4>like who I am. Yeah, and so I wanted to

0:40:22.360 --> 0:40:24.400
<v Speaker 4>make it happen the way that I wanted to do it.

0:40:25.040 --> 0:40:27.280
<v Speaker 2>That's so great. And your husband is on the show.

0:40:27.360 --> 0:40:28.560
<v Speaker 2>What has that been like for you?

0:40:29.680 --> 0:40:31.400
<v Speaker 3>Well, you know what. I didn't realize that he was

0:40:31.440 --> 0:40:35.560
<v Speaker 3>going to take my advice just like so so well.

0:40:35.840 --> 0:40:37.040
<v Speaker 3>Actually I'd been like.

0:40:37.800 --> 0:40:39.880
<v Speaker 4>Preparing him, being like, what if you know, if we

0:40:39.920 --> 0:40:42.400
<v Speaker 4>get greenlit and we do this show, you need to

0:40:42.400 --> 0:40:45.319
