Speaker 2: episodes in my life.

40
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: So this was just like I'm taking a risk and

41
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: joining this.

42
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 2: It was kind of like, well, who says no to

43
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 2: this opportunity?

44
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: Yeah?

45
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 2: You know, let's.

46
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: See valid If you weren't on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,

47
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: what for franchise could you see yourself?

48
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: I know nothing about any of them.

49
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: Any of the other Real Housewives.

50
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 2: I don't know any of them.

51
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: You wouldn't join any other?

52
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know the city. I mean, do you

53
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 2: know what? Two of the Orange County girls have reached

54
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 2: out to me on social media and been so nice

55
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 2: to me. Do you think I would do better on

56
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 2: Orange County?

57
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: You know?

58
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 2: Or they just the stuff?

59
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: I don't? I feel like you could. Orange County is

60
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: not as I would say. They don't care as much

61
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: about what you have and what you know. They really

62
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: support each other. But on Orange County, Heather Dubrow is

63
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,679
Speaker 1: the wealthiest one. That's why people always joke like Heather

64
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: Dubro should be on Beverly Hills because she is like

65
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: her husband and every they're very.

66
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 2: Very got it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think they spent

67
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,399
Speaker 2: a lot of time in La too. Maybe I moved

68
00:02:53,440 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 2: to Beverly. She lives in Beverly, Okay, part time, she

69
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 2: does the whole part.

70
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: I know that would be fun. Who from the cast

71
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: has the best style?

72
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 2: I don't want to say it because she wasn't very

73
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 2: nice to me in the end, but Rachel, I mean obviously.

74
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like you kinda have to say that.

75
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 1: Who from the cast are you closest with today?

76
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 2: I have most recently spoken with and felt very supported

77
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 2: and loved by Kathy, Jennifer. I mean, those are who

78
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 2: I've spoken to most recently. But Kyle's been very supportive

79
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 2: of me through the entire thing. And Sutton, I honestly

80
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 2: ended on a very good note. She was a friend

81
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 2: of me in the end. What I mean, I mean,

82
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 2: you'll see any of the women we have a turn.

83
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 2: I love that we have a turn toward the better.

84
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: Who do you feel like mistreated you the most on

85
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: the cast?

86
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 2: Bows is continuing to do that?

87
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm excited. So we kind of talked about this

88
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: on our main episode, But did you ever regret joining

89
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: while you were filming this season?

90
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 2: While we were filming right now, I have no regrets.

91
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: While we were filming, there were many many moments of

92
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 2: like what is this? How do I do this? Well,

93
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 2: a lot of feeling blindsided, a lot of things coming

94
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 2: out of left field. Like you think you're at ann

95
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 2: a party and you're talking about this one thing, and

96
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 2: you're prepared to talk about the last thing they brought up,

97
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 2: and now they're bringing up this other thing and you're

98
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 2: like trying to even wrap your head around what they're saying, Like, yeah.

99
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a lot. It's also hard when like a

100
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: million different things get brought up and you're like, okay,

101
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: can we handle one thing at a time.

102
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 2: I say, like, you want me to talk about that,

103
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: and you ask me about all this now you want

104
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 2: me to talk about this, now that I'm exhausted from all

105
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 2: this other stuff we have to talk about.

106
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: I will say though, when my mom says this too. Though.

107
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: When you film Beverly Hills Reunion, all of the women

108
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: do a pretty good job on letting everyone have their

109
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: turn to speak, like on Jersey and Salt like you.

110
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 2: Because you have Andy as like almost a moderator, right, yeah,

111
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 2: so you have a little more space.

112
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: Yes, But Andy doesn't always moderate. Maybe he's not always

113
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: heard or listened to him.

114
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 2: I did see something on social media where he walked

115
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 2: off and.

116
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: That was all like city ranee. He couldn't deal with

117
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: it because they were screaming at each other and he's like,

118
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: I'm out, I'm out. Maybe when he you know, and

119
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: now he's like he I mean, he looks great, but

120
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: now he's older. He's like, oh my god, if these

121
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: women aren't listening to me, like I'm out of here,

122
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 1: I'm totally I'm done with this.

123
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 2: So he left and they just kept fighting. Oh yeah,

124
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 2: did they notice he left?

125
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: Yeah?

126
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then they care that he left. Yeah know,

127
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 2: they really cared, and someone eventually go get him.

128
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: You see Mary Crosby being like Andy, no, come back please.

129
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: It was really really funny. But same thing with Jersey Crazy.

130
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: They all talk over each other. There was literally one

131
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: instance where my mom was so mad. Didn't even realize it,

132
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: but Andy was trying to like calm her down, and

133
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: she pushed him and he was like, oh my god.

134
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: He was like, Teresa, you are so strong. This is crazy.

135
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 2: So she's just like upset and she doesn't want to

136
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 2: be touched. Yes, and she was.

137
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: Like upset and this woman obviously said like a crazy

138
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: accusation to her that wasn't true. And Andy was like

139
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 1: trying to like hold her back, and she was like, get.

140
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 2: Off of me, and she pushed him, pushed, and he.

141
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 1: Fell right back into his chair.

142
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 2: I mean I kind of I asked Kyle. That's like

143
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: while we were filming, I'm like, okay, so you're telling me.

144
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 2: We go through and we film all of this, then

145
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 2: we talk about it and we're in interviews for like

146
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 2: nine months, and then we go rehash at the reunion once,

147
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 2: we should be over it.

148
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: But that's the worst grasping this right, That's like, honestly,

149
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: I think the worst thing about the reunion because you

150
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: get over it. Yeah, so long ago, you're totally professionals.

151
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: By the time the reunion comes, you're pretty.

152
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 2: Much processed it, hopefully, and then you.

153
00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: Get mad again at the reunion.

154
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 2: They're like great, No, Like, where is the space for

155
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 2: healing in that?

156
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 1: Does the drama get worse as the season goes on

157
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: because you guys have a couple more trips coming up?

158
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 2: Does the drama get worse? I mean, I have some

159
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 2: more conflict, But I think what I don't know if

160
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 2: I can say the drama gets worse. I think what

161
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 2: people see from me, and this was like huge for me,

162
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 2: is I finally it takes you a minute. I find

163
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 2: a way to truly be myself while standing up to

164
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 2: whatever's being thrown at me, Because at first it feels

165
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 2: like stuff's coming at me and I'm like, what do

166
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 2: I even do with this? Is like it almost feels

167
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 2: not worth my energy to try to like explain things

168
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 2: that are so like wrong and an accusatory for no reason.

169
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 2: But I eventually like get my footing of like, I

170
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 2: can fully stand up for myself. I can fully say

171
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 2: my truth in any situation. But I don't have to

172
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 2: act as it may be expected that I act. I

173
00:07:58,280 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 2: don't have to fly off the handle. I don't have

174
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 2: to yell it's with anyone. I don't have to. I

175
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 2: can stay emotionally regulated. But that that's another thing. I'll

176
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 2: stay supper chill. I'm explaining myself, and then people say

177
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 2: that that means I'm fake, because if I was real,

178
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 2: I'd be more emotional about it. I'm like, none of

179
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 2: y'all regulate yourselves like.

180
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. And I honestly think that's

181
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: a great way of like listen. Obviously, some situations it

182
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: could make you very emotional and you can't control them

183
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: sometimes while you're filming. But I think staying calm, cool

184
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: and collected while while filming is the best thing.

185
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 2: It's just a good life skill.

186
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 1: And I think people off it.

187
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 2: Does it? Really?

188
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 1: That's a lot of you calm rather than being erratic.

189
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 2: I think you might see that it drives people a

190
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 2: little crazy. When I just stay like very like chill

191
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 2: it no matter what it is, I get stronger, I

192
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 2: get really like articulate, I say excuting to say, but

193
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 2: I don't ever get like emotional or irrational, because I

194
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 2: don't think that's how we like get anywhere.

195
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: No, you know what I mean.

196
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 2: If we're trying to resolve something, do we get anywhere

197
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 2: by just emoting like crazy?

198
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: Yeah? Would you come back next season?

199
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 2: That is undecided at this time.

200
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: All right, well, Amanda, thank you so much.

201
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 2: Thank you for having me.

202
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: I have a great day you too,
