Speaker 5: Broke up with Slade and then moved her late?
Speaker 1: My heart was always city, like I've just I've always
Speaker 1: gravitated the city, you know, the lights of Hollywood and whatnot.
Speaker 4: And yeah, was it hard for you to leave from
Speaker 4: the show or you were sitting along?
Speaker 1: No, No, I don't think so in the sense that,
Speaker 1: like because it was a breakup and I was just
Speaker 1: ready to like start my life over. I was also
Speaker 1: already going to LA every weekend with my girlfriends, and like,
Speaker 1: I was just in such a different place in my
Speaker 1: life where.
Speaker 4: You were going to LA when you were dating Slade.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but that's what I like a Slade?
Speaker 1: Were you, honestly, like honest back then, love of my life?
Speaker 5: Then? What?
Speaker 1: In my twenties he really was? I had just graduated,
Speaker 1: you know, college, he threw my college graduation party.
Speaker 3: Oh god, how did you meet?
Speaker 2: I'm so taken aback by this because I'm watching things
Speaker 2: where you're going out and having fun and I'm like,
Speaker 2: clearly you're twenty four years old.
Speaker 3: Yeah, how was he home wear? Dressing up in costume
Speaker 3: for him? I'm like, information, I'm.
Speaker 1: So sorry you had to see that, Teddy, I'm so
Speaker 1: sorry I had to see that. So uh I I yeah,
Speaker 1: no excuses, just young dumb but him.
Speaker 5: Oh.
Speaker 1: I worked at a mortgage company. That was my first
Speaker 1: job out of high school. I was a little assistant.
Speaker 1: He was one of the title reps that would come
Speaker 1: in every week, and I like, my boss was like, hey,
Speaker 1: you need to like take her out and like teach
Speaker 1: her the business. And he taught you the business, all right,
Speaker 1: he taught me the business. But like when I met him,
Speaker 1: he was like all the dad vibes, like dockers, like
Speaker 1: khaki shorts, like you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: So when you had a Hummer back then, like you
Speaker 3: were hot.
Speaker 1: So the fact also about Hommer, huh why with the
Speaker 1: chron Like why was that the thing?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 4: Why was the calm cline underwear with the ice mask
Speaker 4: on his face or whatever he had.
Speaker 5: He was so special back then.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean you dodged that bullet.
Speaker 3: Okay, so you were twenty four years old.
Speaker 5: Yeah, how did this all come about?
Speaker 3: Because it originally was called Behind the Gates, right.
Speaker 5: Uh, yeah, I believe.
Speaker 1: So I know there was a lot of stuff circulating
Speaker 1: before like I ever joined and I had I have
Speaker 1: this little like I think it was like a studio
Speaker 1: that I was living in Encoda Dacasa. So a lot
Speaker 1: of people don't know that, like I was already living there.
Speaker 4: And yeah, you didn't live with Slide.
Speaker 1: Not right away, Okay, so I'd gotten like my own
Speaker 1: place for a minute, but like it was just a
Speaker 1: little studio again right out of college.
Speaker 5: Like yeah, fairly trying to find my way.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it just kind of it was wild. And
Speaker 1: then there was just I think being so young and
Speaker 1: being thrown into the life. First of all, I did
Speaker 1: not come from money, so like everything that like I've
Speaker 1: done in my life, I just like was on me.
Speaker 1: So to get thrown into number one, a world of
Speaker 1: like wealth, number two, being so much younger and everybody
Speaker 1: being so much older, I was super intimidated going in
Speaker 1: because like why wouldn't I be with like you know, sure,
Speaker 1: and all the personalities as well, and.
Speaker 4: You didn't know anybody right when I didn't know anyone.
Speaker 1: Literally, I remember first seeing like first day shooting. They
Speaker 1: brought me to this bar in the middle of Koto
Speaker 1: and they were like, okay, Joe, we're gonna you're gonna
Speaker 1: meet all the girls for the first time on the patio,
Speaker 1: and I think it was like Kimberly and a bunch
Speaker 1: of other like you know.
Speaker 3: I remember that scene. Yes, and you're saying you want
Speaker 3: to make friends. Yes.
Speaker 4: Are you talk to any of the girls to this day?
Speaker 1: Yeah, actually still talked to Gina Alexis. They actually came
Speaker 1: to my wedding when I just got married a year.
Speaker 4: Okay, I was going to talk to you about that.
Speaker 4: So your one year anniversary is coming up on the
Speaker 4: twenty eighth. Congratulations. Now you are a cougar because you
Speaker 4: are five years older than your husband. I am five
Speaker 4: years older than my husband.
Speaker 5: Really, yeah, up here to go, you go, girl pounded out.
Speaker 5: I think I'm actually seven. He's thirty five, thirty six? Yeah,
Speaker 5: oh you're seven years old? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Hold on, speaking of age, how old is Slade?
Speaker 1: He was fifteen years older than me when I met him,
Speaker 1: and I so when I met him, I was he
Speaker 1: was thirty do the math, so doing the math backwards?
Speaker 4: Yeah, so wait, so you're forty.
Speaker 1: I'm about I'm about to be forty three in September
Speaker 1: and forty two.
Speaker 4: Right, and he's fifteen years older than you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, so forty, I'm fifty eight years old, so
Speaker 3: you're he is low to change.
Speaker 4: He pulls up, he says he's forty eight, says he's
Speaker 4: forty eight years old to this day.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry what he's just kidding?
Speaker 4: Yeah, just kidding.
Speaker 1: What I joke with everybody, I'm forever twenty seven because
Speaker 1: La just keeps you like, yes, it's La La Land
Speaker 1: and like nobody ever grows up here, at least on
Speaker 1: our side in West Hollywood and Hollywood.
Speaker 5: But he's absolutely not forty eight.
Speaker 4: No, he's ten years older than that.
Speaker 2: Okay, how long were you guys dating before you were cast?
Speaker 3: And when I met I met.
Speaker 2: Him and Gretchen at like a race car event years ago,
Speaker 2: back when I was still on the show, and I
Speaker 2: remember him telling me something along.
Speaker 3: The lines like the show was his idea?
Speaker 1: Is that his idea? Like he started it? It was
Speaker 1: his idea to go on and like to do the
Speaker 1: whole thing. Because a lot of people may or may
Speaker 1: not know he was. He had an agent in LA
Speaker 1: when I met him, he was already because of his
Speaker 1: like cycling stuff he would get he would book like
Speaker 1: professional cycling stuff.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 4: Can you clarify something for us, Yeah, because he has
Speaker 4: said that he raced in the Tour deference, I'm calling
Speaker 4: bullshit on that. I'm saying that he was like a helper,
Speaker 4: a water boy, something like that. Eddie actually is a
Speaker 4: cyclist as well. Didn't ever race in the Tour de France,
Speaker 4: but he took Slaid out one time riding in Napa
Speaker 4: when we were filming and he could barely keep up.
Speaker 4: In fact, he was on the side of the road
Speaker 4: in cramps and Eddie was like rubbing his cramps out
Speaker 4: because he was so bad. Is that just an exaggeration,
Speaker 4: because I feel like he likes to exaggerate to make
Speaker 4: him you know.
Speaker 1: So all I remember is it was him and the
Speaker 1: big cycling guy.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, so I note.
Speaker 1: Yes, the two of them were like Lance was a
Speaker 1: national champion at the time of his like state, and
Speaker 1: then I believe I remember telling me.
Speaker 5: He was his in his state.
Speaker 3: Telling you or did you see it with your own eyes?
Speaker 5: He told me, he told.
Speaker 1: Me when we met, like because I would ask him,
Speaker 1: I'm like, why do you put on these like super
Speaker 1: neon outfits and like sit on a bike and like,
Speaker 1: like I just I wanted to like understand.
Speaker 4: I mean the cycling outfits are horrendous that he has
Speaker 4: a ton of them. I mean they're all neon, which
Speaker 4: is great because people's eddie cycle he does, he does.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, But then how long did you guys date
Speaker 2: before you were cast? I?
Speaker 5: Oh, such a long time ago. I want to.
Speaker 1: Say maybe like at least almost a year, if not
Speaker 1: a little bit. And we were together for like a
Speaker 1: while actually, because we were already engaged when we were
Speaker 1: on the show, and we got engaged almost at a year,
Speaker 1: so at least a year we were dating before, so
Speaker 1: we had like a fully normal life of just you know,
Speaker 1: living in Coodo with the kids.
Speaker 5: I had moved in at the time.
Speaker 2: And then that was the shasting process then, because like
Speaker 2: for us, it's for me, it was very different than
Speaker 2: even for Tamra, Like how did it work for you?
Speaker 1: Yeah, So they were looking for the fifth couple to cast. Uh,
Speaker 1: And again I wasn't there when we got cast. This
Speaker 1: was all Slade.
Speaker 4: Wasn't friends with Scott.
Speaker 1: Done up. Yeah, So we lived literally down the street
Speaker 1: from Scott, and I guess there was a charity event
Speaker 1: that Slade went to and that's kind of where the
Speaker 1: whole thing went down. So what I remember and then
Speaker 1: how it actually happened was two different things.
Speaker 5: I later found out.
Speaker 1: I thought that Slade had gone to this event with Scott,
Speaker 1: this you know, codo party that he had thrown, and
Speaker 1: they had asked us to be on the show, is
Speaker 1: what I originally thought. It was kind to find out
Speaker 1: later Slade had bought a ticket. It was like a
Speaker 1: charity auction to be on the show.
Speaker 4: And I remember hearing that, so he got his way
Speaker 4: on the show.
Speaker 1: But I don't remember that again ages ago. So I guess, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's apparently how it ended up happening. But I was
Speaker 1: never there. And then Slade came home one day and
Speaker 1: was like, hey, so we're going to do this thing.
Speaker 1: And I you know back then, so I never.
Speaker 2: Even met you and did auditions with you or any
Speaker 2: kind of no camera work.
Speaker 5: Nothing, nothing.
Speaker 1: It was literally the I guess maybe the allure of
Speaker 1: like young girl moving.
Speaker 5: To codo with this older guy who has Do you.
Speaker 4: Remember who the production company was back then? It was evolution,
Speaker 4: so it's spent abolition from the very beginning. So yeah,
Speaker 4: you were the very first to leave the show and
Speaker 4: then do a spinoff.
Speaker 5: God bless that spinoff.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I need to watch it. I didn't
Speaker 3: even until I was reading your intro, I was like,
Speaker 3: what is it? Was?
Speaker 1: Was dating my ex is that it was like the
Speaker 1: Bachelorette meets a reality show, except there was no like.
Speaker 4: But don't you feel like it would really make it today?
Speaker 5: I feel like it was it's time and it was
Speaker 5: on yep.
Speaker 1: What Yeah, So I was the first to get a
Speaker 1: spin off, and then I had just gotten and I
Speaker 1: know there's going to be all Back then it was like,
Speaker 1: you know, getting a record deal was like a funny thing,
Speaker 1: you know now looking back at it.
Speaker 5: But I was also the first. I was never a singer.
Speaker 1: I was a dancer and I just had music and
Speaker 1: singing in my life, and they were like, you know,
Speaker 1: dancer first, singer second, and more like karaoke singer. But
Speaker 1: you know, the producers were like, hey, we want to
Speaker 1: give you this music opportunity, and I was like.
Speaker 5: Yeah, let's do it. Who doesn't want to ever do
Speaker 5: an album.
Speaker 1: And put themselves on like a music video, like as
Speaker 1: a little girl dancing in the mirror with like a
Speaker 1: hair brush unscripted.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Did I hear that Gretchen bought your the rights to
Speaker 4: your music or something like that years ago?
Speaker 5: He sure did, what I mean? And why did she
Speaker 5: do that? Yeah? So again this is just what I hear.
Speaker 1: So my music producer at the time, Brian Todd, was
Speaker 1: the music producer for Ashley Tisdale. For me, for like
Speaker 1: a bunch of like young like you know, Hollywood la
Speaker 1: like girls that were like trying to come up and
Speaker 1: make it type thing.
Speaker 5: That was the reality version.
Speaker 1: At some point there was a financial situation and he
Speaker 1: started to sell his catalog. Catalog's out and for whatever reason, uh,
Speaker 1: she decided to buy it for how much I'm not
Speaker 1: sure that's all.
Speaker 3: But what was the point?
Speaker 4: It was it just for something to put on the show?
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know. I think it was wild.
Speaker 5: I think it was wild.
Speaker 1: She ended up coming out with a single after that too,
Speaker 1: I saw, well, So I don't know if like that
Speaker 1: was the way she would like, I don't know, I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 4: But let me go after my new boyfriend's girlfriend's music.
Speaker 4: Like really, now, when when Gretchensley started dating where what
Speaker 4: was your mind at at that point where you're like,
Speaker 4: what the because he dated Laurie after you? Right, yeah,
Speaker 4: so you had a single.
Speaker 5: I had a single.
Speaker 1: It ended up on radio, which was amazing, music video
Speaker 1: ended up on Network on TV and then right when
Speaker 1: and I also got a publishing deal because one thing
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 5: Wow, was a songwriter.
Speaker 1: That's actually what I actually for reels like did where
Speaker 1: I felt the most confident, And I got a publishing
Speaker 1: deal through Sony. And then one of the songs I
Speaker 1: ended up writing ended up actually On the Hills on MTV,
Speaker 1: which was.
Speaker 5: Kind of cool. Oh I remember yep, it was called
Speaker 5: a Little Inspiration.
Speaker 4: And yeah, were you ever on the Hills?
Speaker 1: I so, Lauren Audrina, Yeah, that whole crew the scenes
Speaker 1: I was ever in, like never air because you know
Speaker 1: they shoot everything I never did. But yeah, so like
Speaker 1: that whole group of like OC girls, it was same age,
Speaker 1: same time. We all kind of came up together and
Speaker 1: Lauren Conrad and I had a friend in common. Leslie Bruce,
Speaker 1: who worked at US Weekly, went to uc Ervine. She
Speaker 1: introduced us, and so the both of us being in
Speaker 1: la being the girls on reality from OC just kind
Speaker 1: of like grew up and kind of grew up together.
Speaker 1: Lauren kept going and has blown up since then, and
Speaker 1: I kind of took a break from reality after. You know,
Speaker 1: just did you.
Speaker 4: Do any other reality shows after your spin off?
Speaker 5: No? No, no, would you ever? Yeah? Definitely?
Speaker 4: Okay, So you will be coming to you will be
Speaker 4: coming to my parties next season?
Speaker 5: Oh? I mean yes, I was.
Speaker 2: Perfect because Andy said you're the one that got away
Speaker 2: too early.
Speaker 1: Really yes, Oh my god, Andy, that's so sweet.
Speaker 4: Maybe some double dates with the husbands or parties or
Speaker 4: something next season.
Speaker 3: I'll see. So I have a question.
Speaker 2: One of your main storylines was making friends and Codo.
Speaker 2: Did you find any genuine connections with any of the
Speaker 2: women on the show.
Speaker 5: I did.
Speaker 1: I will say number one Gina. Gina has been like
Speaker 1: a second mom to me. I always called your mama Gina,
Speaker 1: and that's kind of what she's been in my life.
Speaker 1: If I ever needed advice or anything like that. Kimberly,
Speaker 1: even though she left the show super early after season one.
Speaker 5: Where did she go? You know what? None of us
Speaker 5: know that. Like I heard she moved out.
Speaker 4: Of state and just that's what I heard.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but she was more of like she was like
Speaker 1: if there was a housewife training of how to be
Speaker 1: a housewife, because I had no idea, like you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, just that world.
Speaker 5: She was my like Yoda if you will.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's like a caricature of what a housewife is
Speaker 2: supposed to be.
Speaker 5: Completely Yeah.
Speaker 4: Like I ran into her at the montage. Wait what
Speaker 4: she's back, Gina. Yeah, she's in Orange County.
Speaker 3: Oh no, I was talking about Kimberly.
Speaker 5: Oh Kimberly.
Speaker 4: No, no, I'm talking about Tina.
Speaker 5: Yes it is.
Speaker 4: And so I ran into her and she was just
Speaker 4: like Gina, like I had didn't skip a beat.
Speaker 5: I love Gina.
Speaker 1: Gina remains the same, so down to earth, so like
Speaker 1: just Gina, like and that's why I love her, like
Speaker 1: nothing has ever changed her and like she's just she's
Speaker 1: my heart.
Speaker 5: I love her so much.
Speaker 2: Has anything changed? The canary diamond ring that you got?
Speaker 2: And where is it?
Speaker 5: It was fake? Right? Okay?
Speaker 1: Yes it was what The canary diamond ring still sits
Speaker 1: somewhere in a little chanel box inside three more boxes
Speaker 1: at my mom's house because I can't even bother to
Speaker 1: dig that thing up.
Speaker 5: But like, yes, so.
Speaker 3: Don't you find out it was fake? Or am I
Speaker 3: going to find this out later on in the season.
Speaker 5: So so Slade told me. Slade told me in.
Speaker 4: The clubhouse it needs to be on Andy's clubhouse on
Speaker 4: the shop.
Speaker 5: Wait should I bring it? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yes you should.
Speaker 1: We can actually take it to a jeweler and actually
Speaker 1: see how much that poor little thing is worth.
Speaker 5: Twenty five dollar to any If that.
Speaker 3: Right, I am blown away.
Speaker 5: Okay, so he was honest with me.
Speaker 1: He did tell me that, you know, the setting was real,
Speaker 1: but the centerstone he wanted to change it with day.
Speaker 4: Do you think Gretchen's is fake too?
Speaker 5: I don't know, probably not.
Speaker 3: At what point did he tell you that it.
Speaker 5: Was fake after he proposed? But again, this is pre Housewives,
Speaker 5: so no cameras know nothing.
Speaker 4: And how do you when someone goes, I'm proposing to
Speaker 4: but this is a fake ring.
Speaker 5: Here's the thing. I know.
Speaker 1: I'm a sap. I'm the biggest romantic that there is.
Speaker 1: So at the time back then also twenty three, twenty four,
Speaker 1: no experience. Yeah, I was in it for like, I
Speaker 1: genuinely loved him so much that he could have given
Speaker 1: me a band and I wouldn't have cared.
Speaker 2: But that's my question for both of you guys, now,
Speaker 2: knowing what you know, would you rather have a small
Speaker 2: diamond that's real, Yes, that's authentic for sure, or a
Speaker 2: giant fake one?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 1: I rather have a band a million percent, like I
Speaker 1: don't even need like, of course, every girl loves diamonds,
Speaker 1: but like what like I wanted a fall left for
Speaker 1: love and not for money.
Speaker 5: But why was it fake?
Speaker 4: He's briging that he's making seven figures and he's got
Speaker 4: all this money.
Speaker 3: By the way, how are you just seven figures?
Speaker 5: A million?
Speaker 4: A million plus? And then he said that the ring
Speaker 4: was over one hundred thousand dollars if he bought you.
Speaker 3: I don't think of one hundred thousand pesos?
Speaker 5: Who exactly? No? Wait what he didn't say that? Really? Yes?
Speaker 5: I did? Yes on the podcast?
Speaker 3: No, I come on here?
Speaker 5: Do you think i'd have here? Okay?
Speaker 4: On the show?
Speaker 5: Do you and him not? No? Wait, I don't stand
Speaker 5: you know, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm so far removed from the world
Speaker 1: of housewives being in La like it's it's like a
Speaker 1: little bubble.
Speaker 5: I don't know any of the riff any of the drama,
Speaker 5: any of the anything.
Speaker 1: So you sharing all this with me and like for
Speaker 1: the first time, going wait what, I didn't know you
Speaker 1: and him don't get along.
Speaker 2: But moving slightly away from Slade, what are your thoughts
Speaker 2: on Vicky and how did she treat you?
Speaker 5: I love Vicky. Vicky.
Speaker 1: Vicky is always going to be Vicky and again, like
Speaker 1: I always just had my experience with her back when
Speaker 1: we lived in OC and Vicky has always been great
Speaker 1: even over the years. Like Gina and her are you know,
Speaker 1: still close and Gina will like again whenever I can,
Speaker 1: like see her, will bring me to like I know,
Speaker 1: we like did a dinner once. This is years ago,
Speaker 1: by the way, and this is like she'd probably Vicky
Speaker 1: had probably been on the show like a lot of
Speaker 1: seasons by now, six seven, eight, and we all went
Speaker 1: to dinner. Still Vicky, like Vicky, I feel like is
Speaker 1: always going to stay Vicky as well when you get
Speaker 1: her one on one, it's very consistent.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'm actually going to see her tonight.
Speaker 5: Oh you are tell her? I said, Hi, I actually
Speaker 5: saw a picture of you and her.
Speaker 4: And yes, yeah, so the three of us are going
Speaker 4: to meet tonight. But I told her yesterday, I said
Speaker 4: I'm having jokes. She's like, oh my god, she's so sweet.
Speaker 2: I love.
Speaker 5: She said, Hi, tell her.
Speaker 1: I said, Hi, I'm rid Or died for Vicky.
Speaker 5: So if anyone has a problem, like, I'll kill him.
Speaker 3: Well you might have to kill me then, yeah, because.
Speaker 4: He does not like Teddy Vicky what.
Speaker 2: Okay, So she has a real problem with me because
Speaker 2: she always wanted to do a podcast with Tamra And
Speaker 2: I reached out to Tamra when iHeart reached out to
Speaker 2: me and said, we want to do a Housewives podcast.
Speaker 2: And I said fine, but I'm only going to recap
Speaker 2: and do these things if i can do it with
Speaker 2: somebody that I want. And they said who, and I
Speaker 2: said Tamara. And I contacted Tamara and it was like
Speaker 2: three days and we were done and then like yeah,
Speaker 2: we we kind of exploded, thank you know, thanks to
Speaker 2: like amazing production team and iHeart and everybody. It was
Speaker 2: great and our connection. But then Vicky like couldn't take it,
Speaker 2: Like so instead of being happy for camera.
Speaker 5: You know, Vicky, I do know Vicky.
Speaker 4: She actually called our boss and said that they should
Speaker 4: get rid of Teddy and bring her on.
Speaker 5: Yes, Vicky, that's not nice. And then but it's so Vicky.
Speaker 2: And then she went on What Happens Live and said
Speaker 2: she didn't know who I was, like, she just okay,
Speaker 2: she's bitter Boots.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I think it's amazing that y'all are doing
Speaker 1: this podcast. And I think that just opportunities come to
Speaker 1: people and like, you know, you ride them. And also
Speaker 1: she has her own podcast? What is she talking about?
Speaker 5: Doesn't she?
Speaker 3: She did and it was very hot.
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh okay I was. I was like so confused
Speaker 5: because I thought she was doing hers. Okay, yeah, I
Speaker 5: have a question for you.
Speaker 4: Would you ever do the Ultimate Girl's Trip?
Speaker 5: I I have seen a trailer of that. Would I
Speaker 5: do it? Why the hell not?
Speaker 1: I think that, you know, I haven't been in that
Speaker 1: dynamic four years. I don't know if I would get
Speaker 1: eaten a or if like, like I don't, I don't.
Speaker 4: It's like riding a bicycle, Joe, you get right back on.
Speaker 5: Have you done it? I have done on it? How
Speaker 5: was it? So?
Speaker 4: I was let go after my twelfth season, and I
Speaker 4: was I did nothing for a year and then I
Speaker 4: think twenty nineteen twenty, maybe twenty twenty, they asked me
Speaker 4: to do Ultimate Girls Trip. So I did Ultimate Girl's
Speaker 4: Trip and from there they brought me back on Orange County.
Speaker 3: So I did it.
Speaker 4: It was weird because I was kind of out of
Speaker 4: the mix. I'm with new girls and I don't necessarily
Speaker 4: know that well, some of them I've met through Bravo stuff,
Speaker 4: but didn't really know them. It was it was hard,
Speaker 4: but it was fun.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: It was during the pandemic. So we went to Derenda's house.
Speaker 4: Now the girls nowadays are going to do Turks and
Speaker 4: Caicos And where did the uh where the new ones go?
Speaker 5: They?
Speaker 3: Where did they go? Bali?
Speaker 4: Well not Bali, they went to Landiland.
Speaker 5: That production budget though, okay.
Speaker 3: I know, and it is ten days.
Speaker 4: It's a lot of money for ten days.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, okay, So I don't think you would get.
Speaker 4: So you hear that Andy, she'll do Ultimate Girls Trip.
Speaker 2: Andy, there's just a psa, she will do Girls Triph.
Speaker 3: So do you watch any Housewives right now?
Speaker 1: I do not watch any Housewives, to be honest with you.
Speaker 1: I only have the apps, no cable, so I stream
Speaker 1: everything like, also shout out to Peacock because that's actually
Speaker 1: one of the apps that I pay for because they
Speaker 1: and all of my favorite shows are on there. But yeah,
Speaker 1: unfortunately you get everything one day later. So I'm just like,
Speaker 1: so that's okay.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but if you get on Ultimate Girls Trip, they
Speaker 4: give you one free year of Peacock.
Speaker 5: So oh nice, okay, get I'm all for a free streamings,
Speaker 5: me too, Me too.
Speaker 4: On a saturder note, watching season one into, Grayson was
Speaker 4: on the show, and obviously you've heard that he recently
Speaker 4: passed away. Yeah, do you reach out to Michelle or
Speaker 4: Slide at that point?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I actually I actually okay, sorry, sorry, I didn't even
Speaker 1: know where that came from.
Speaker 5: I actually did.
Speaker 1: I reached out to Slade just to say like, I
Speaker 1: was so sorry, and yeah, I never heard back from him.
Speaker 1: But yeah, wow, I don't even know where that came from.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there when he was all in Yeah, do you
Speaker 4: remember what were you with him when he got diagnosed?
Speaker 5: No? No, I when I met Slide, I I already knew.
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh they already knew at that point.
Speaker 1: Uh, yes, yes, when I believe when I when we
Speaker 1: when we had been dating, like he already had the tumor.
Speaker 4: Oh I didn't know that.
Speaker 5: I didn't.
Speaker 4: I didn't realize that he was diagnosed that young because
Speaker 4: it wasn't really talked about.
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: He was two years old when I met him, and
Speaker 1: he was already struggling, and so Slade had kind of
Speaker 1: opened up and shared the story about how they found
Speaker 1: out and stuff like that.
Speaker 4: Heartbreaking, so heartbreaking can till we live three years later.
Speaker 1: I it honestly just warms my heart that like he
Speaker 1: was able to have as many years yeah, as like
Speaker 1: he did, and his.
Speaker 4: Poor mom, like she really lived her life to take
Speaker 4: care of him. Really heartbreaking.
Speaker 1: Okay, Now I wish I had whiskey in this.
Speaker 4: Well we have we have champagne today.
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, that's what I should have done.
Speaker 2: This is I think something that's going to help a
Speaker 2: lot of our listeners because there's a lot of people,
Speaker 2: of course, that are in relationships where you are, you know,
Speaker 2: a bonus parent, you know, and you are and then
Speaker 2: all of a sudden when you break up, how how
Speaker 2: do you kind of reconcile that and how do you
Speaker 2: how has that affected your future relationships?
Speaker 3: And you know, now you're married, now and you're in
Speaker 3: a different place.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean I always know, like when when
Speaker 2: my mom and step my step mom was my stepmom
Speaker 2: for twenty years and then you know, when they broke up,
Speaker 2: there was obviously like a huge shift and there's like
Speaker 2: that void, but there's also like you're trying to have boundaries,
Speaker 2: so kind of how did you deal with that after
Speaker 2: the breakup?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it was hard.
Speaker 1: I think it was actually harder like after I moved
Speaker 1: to LA, because I think it's easier to move on
Speaker 1: from a relationship when you leave a city, right because
Speaker 1: it's just like, yeah, yeah, you leave everything behind, you
Speaker 1: get caught up in LA and you know all the
Speaker 1: things of La going out, like all the things you
Speaker 1: do when you're young in LA and first moved to
Speaker 1: a new city. I think for me it really hit
Speaker 1: me years later when you know, I would hear about
Speaker 1: Gavin or like you know, see somebody would send me
Speaker 1: something about Grayson, you know, a picture of him, an
Speaker 1: update of him, anything, And I think it's in those
Speaker 1: moments it was hard. But I did reach out to
Speaker 1: Gavin as well, like a few years ago, just to
Speaker 1: tell him, Hi, I heard he got married. Congratulations. Just
Speaker 1: as like somebody, you know, I know I don't have
Speaker 1: a right to, but like he was a big part
Speaker 1: of my life.
Speaker 4: Everybody has a right to say something nice to somebody.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's not like.
Speaker 4: Right right, And then she broke up.
Speaker 3: You can still you still should And then what's your
Speaker 3: So you're you're married? Now, how how did you meet
Speaker 3: your new husband?
Speaker 5: Hinge? What we met in the middle of covid on Hinge?
Speaker 5: I read that, yes, and okay, literally it was one.
Speaker 1: Of these things where like I had been after the
Speaker 1: show in digital advertising and that's all I had done,
Speaker 1: and I was kind of like shooting doing videos like photography,
Speaker 1: and I was like, you know what, I'm going to
Speaker 1: leave this incredible career behind to go pursue being a creator,
Speaker 1: and that's what I did. And then three months later
Speaker 1: the pandemic hit. I was super focused on like the
Speaker 1: YouTube channel, like building just like all of that. But
Speaker 1: then it's the pandemic, so we're bored.
Speaker 5: So I'm like.
Speaker 1: Scrolling through and I was like, you know what, I
Speaker 1: kind of just want to like flirt with cute boys,
Speaker 1: and so I signed up for Hinge and he had
Speaker 1: a disclaimer on his like profile that said I don't
Speaker 1: want to meet anybody because you know, it's the pandemic.
Speaker 5: And I was like, perfect, this is going to go nowhere,
Speaker 5: let's go.
Speaker 4: Yeah, why are you on hinge in your bio says
Speaker 4: I don't want to meet me.
Speaker 3: But no, he's saying I don't want to meet anyone
Speaker 3: in person.
Speaker 5: Yep, there was no VOBE. Okay, I got it.
Speaker 1: And at the time his roommate was had health issues,
Speaker 1: and then my roommate at the time also had health issues,
Speaker 1: so it actually worked perfect.
Speaker 2: And for those of you guys listening, COVID in LA
Speaker 2: was different than COVID anywhere else, I mean other than
Speaker 2: New York.
Speaker 3: I mean yeah, we were on lockdown.
Speaker 2: Like I remember, like five months into it, I hadn't
Speaker 2: even seen people, and my friends came over and we
Speaker 2: sat outside with gloves on and we made each other
Speaker 2: pee in the grass because.
Speaker 3: You couldn't even like it was. Everyone bought their own drinks.
Speaker 5: It was.
Speaker 1: It was wild, like yeah, like washed down. I never
Speaker 1: washed down my like groceries, but like people like it was.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they would wash down the boxes that came from Amazon.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then the fruit, the special fruit spray that
Speaker 3: I'd never heard of, because COVID could have been like
Speaker 3: it was. La was another freaking beast.
Speaker 1: It was a wild, wild time and so it was
Speaker 1: like easy to see him and know like, oh perfect,
Speaker 1: Like he doesn't want to meet. I want to focus
Speaker 1: on what I'm doing and that's it. But just over
Speaker 1: time talking to him, you know, over FaceTime, over zoom, you.
Speaker 3: Know, just doing all the things intimacy.
Speaker 1: I ended up falling in love over a screen, and y'all,
Speaker 1: I swear I always say, I feel like I was
Speaker 1: in a Love is Blind episode because I was falling
Speaker 1: in love with a human that, like literally over our screen,
Speaker 1: that I had never met. Because also, we talked for
Speaker 1: three months before our first date. I said I love
Speaker 1: you before we ever met in person. We were boyfriend
Speaker 1: and girlfriend before we ever had our first date in
Speaker 1: person three months later because again COVID, we were falling,
Speaker 1: like falling into over.
Speaker 5: Why, yes we did.
Speaker 4: I was like, all right, let's let's really get to
Speaker 4: yeeah yeah, fun sex.
Speaker 5: Yes we had fun sex. Yeah, oh my god, greed.
Speaker 4: And so how long were you dating before you got married?
Speaker 1: We were dating like a year and a half and
Speaker 1: then we got engaged and then we ended up getting
Speaker 1: married like two years two.
Speaker 4: And a half years later, and he's a music composer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a music composer. But actual recently, we just
Speaker 1: started a creative agency. So I worked at TikTok this
Speaker 1: last year and then we just decided to kind of
Speaker 1: like the dream has be a content creator full time,
Speaker 1: but what needs to pay the bills is we wanted
Speaker 1: to start a creative agency where we help brands like
Speaker 1: show up on TikTok because obviously we had both kind
Speaker 1: of come from that world.
Speaker 5: He was also working at a creative agency.
Speaker 1: So although we do have two separate rooms, so they're like,
Speaker 1: how do you start a business with like your partner,
Speaker 1: But honestly, like it's been good because there's like that separation.
Speaker 1: So yeah, we started Social play recently, so we've been
Speaker 1: like just kind of like you know, doing.
Speaker 3: On Social play. If they wanted to hire you guys
Speaker 3: for help and whatnot.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you can go to our website social playdigital
Speaker 1: dot com and everything is on there. But yeah, we
Speaker 1: literally just started like a month ago, tunny like literally
Speaker 1: baby baby baby brand, new business. Yeah, so I'm seeing that, like,
Speaker 1: you know, things can take off and you know, he
Speaker 1: has one client, and I just feel like it's exciting
Speaker 1: when you can like kind of hit the reset button
Speaker 1: and start over and build something.
Speaker 2: Together and something that you guys love and you're good at.
Speaker 2: And yeah, you know what, after this, I have a
Speaker 2: feeling we're going to see you on reality television again.
Speaker 2: Like I think I have to be honest, because I
Speaker 2: didn't watch at the beginning, so I was like, you know,
Speaker 2: like I was not I was like having one of
Speaker 2: those things about this interview anyone. You are so engaging,
Speaker 2: You're warm, you're easy to talk to, You've shown all
Speaker 2: of the emotions like we talked.
Speaker 3: You have to understand we talked to housewives multiple times
Speaker 3: a week and half the time.
Speaker 2: Everybody's so media trained and so sheltered, very like you're
Speaker 2: getting a certain type and you're just who you are,
Speaker 2: just giving it all.
Speaker 3: I have to give you cups to that because that
Speaker 3: is since.
Speaker 4: You're giving it all, I have a question.
Speaker 5: Yeah, thank you, and yet.
Speaker 2: We're going to take it back.
Speaker 4: We're going to take it back quite a few years.
Speaker 4: Did you ever hook up with Shane Kyo.
Speaker 3: The bunny Killer, Buddy Killer?
Speaker 5: She did? You did? Here's the thing, was it just
Speaker 5: a quick little hand job. Was it?
Speaker 3: No, a hand job?
Speaker 5: Hold on?
Speaker 3: Is this gonna play out on the Is it a blowy?
Speaker 5: No? No, it was none that It was way after,
Speaker 5: And honestly, I don't mean way after.
Speaker 3: You watched his episodes and you're like that's a guy.
Speaker 3: No no, no, no, no no, no, I mean a
Speaker 3: good one.
Speaker 5: Like after it was a kiss. It was a kiss,
Speaker 5: It was just a kiss.
Speaker 1: Years after, Yeah, it was nothing, a little innocent heart
Speaker 1: back then, like, yeah, it.
Speaker 5: Was literally just a kiss.
Speaker 4: And then he slipped And.
Speaker 3: This is after the show. You've moved to l A.
Speaker 1: I'm in LA Like this is years later, as in
Speaker 1: like I've been off the sho show for years. You know,
Speaker 1: we've all like kind of moved on, and I don't
Speaker 1: even know how it happened.
Speaker 4: You're friends with Alexis, right, I am.
Speaker 1: I love Alexis so much. And one thing that I
Speaker 1: don't understand is why people call. Like just yesterday, I
Speaker 1: was telling someone like, oh, you know, just sharing like
Speaker 1: I'm going to go on a podcast having done you
Speaker 1: know something housewives in a second, and they were like
Speaker 1: with who, I'm like Tamar and they're like, oh, that's awesome.
Speaker 1: Do you talk to anyone anymore. I'm like, yeah, Gina Alexis,
Speaker 1: and they're like, oh, Jesus drugs.
Speaker 4: I'm like, why do people say, like, well, because I
Speaker 4: called her Jesus jugs once that. Yeah, but you have
Speaker 4: to understand when she was with her ex husband, Yeah,
Speaker 4: she was a different person. Okay, she was a very
Speaker 4: different person.
Speaker 1: I'm like, first of all, I've never even noticed her
Speaker 1: boops are big, and second of all, the sweetest, nicest human,
Speaker 1: very sweet, very very Again, I wasn't on the show
Speaker 1: with her, and we also connected post yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: And I would.
Speaker 4: Love for her to be back on the show where
Speaker 4: she is now because she's like in a relationship now
Speaker 4: getting married.
Speaker 5: Tam Oh, I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't have a problem with her. I had a problem,
Speaker 4: Like I just didn't like her ex husband.
Speaker 5: Okay, I don't.
Speaker 4: It was allegedly allegedly, No, he just was very you know,
Speaker 4: she was a different person. I think with him, got
Speaker 4: it and she probably is today.
Speaker 5: Okay, that makes sense, got I got it? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: I got it. And I'm all for for you know,
Speaker 5: people changing.
Speaker 4: But I think she's a kind person. I don't think
Speaker 4: she's got like a mean bone in her body.
Speaker 3: I don't think she's malicious.
Speaker 2: No, I haven't gotten to any life, not at all.
Speaker 2: So so I have nothing to weigh in here other
Speaker 2: than what I heard from the past.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But also I feel like all of us on the show,
Speaker 1: like I know, let's be honest, eighty percent of my
Speaker 1: interview I had probably a cocktail or two in me. Ye,
Speaker 1: Like I remember seeing some episodes where I'm like, Joe,
Speaker 1: are you really slurring as you're talking to camera, like.
Speaker 3: You're smoking a cigarette outside? Honestly heaven.
Speaker 2: I was like the fact she gives so she I mean,
Speaker 2: you could tell the two thousand and six grand and
Speaker 2: my parents would dropped me off at school with like
Speaker 2: cigarettes and we would all no one had car seats.
Speaker 3: Or anything like a different time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the fact that you're like he's like come
Speaker 2: home and you're like, no, I know, it's not even late.
Speaker 3: And he's like it's three am, and you're like, I know.
Speaker 5: It literally like who was I? Who was she? Like
Speaker 5: I I?
Speaker 1: And so I just feel like a lot of us,
Speaker 1: Like also, I don't do pink boas and deebra hats
Speaker 1: and made costumes anymore, right, I feel like we all right,
Speaker 1: we're probably not who we were back when we were.
Speaker 3: Except for Vica, She's said exactly the same.
Speaker 4: Ye, Pinky's never changed except her face, which.
Speaker 5: By the way, I have to love. I think she
Speaker 5: looks amazing.
Speaker 2: She does, but I have to say, no, I have
Speaker 2: to say now that I watch season one, her original
Speaker 2: face is a nice face.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't have a problem with that face.
Speaker 5: Nope, I get it.
Speaker 3: We all have our own thing. I've had a necklace.
Speaker 4: Speaking of speaking of your face, well, does anybody ever
Speaker 4: mistake you for Megan Markle?
Speaker 5: That's super sweet. I have been told that before.
Speaker 3: I can see it.
Speaker 1: I see every time someone I'm like, y'all are way
Speaker 1: too kind because like, I don't see it.
Speaker 5: I think it's funny and thank you.
Speaker 1: By the way, I'm watching Suits right now because all
Speaker 1: of my shows are done for the year. I had
Speaker 1: no idea she was actually an incredible actress.
Speaker 4: I've never seen it.
Speaker 1: It's like, if you're bored, Yeah, if you're ever bored,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch Peacock.
Speaker 4: Netflix has nothing right now, nothing.
Speaker 3: Hold on, No, I was recently obsessed with some thing,
Speaker 3: but now I can't remember.
Speaker 4: I probably already seen it.
Speaker 1: Summerhouse also an amazing recommendation if you need a new
Speaker 1: show to watch.
Speaker 5: I'm obsessed. People are It's all provo.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, So I have a question if you had
Speaker 2: to pick somebody just this is our closing question has
Speaker 2: nothing to do with Orange County. If you had to
Speaker 2: pick somebody from Vanner Pomp Rules to have sex with,
Speaker 2: who would it be?
Speaker 5: Guy?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Either or either?
Speaker 5: Oh man, I guess James Kennedy.
Speaker 1: I can't think James because, honestly, like the other two
Speaker 1: are just no, it's too much of a wreck. The
Speaker 1: other time is way too passive. And I just feel
Speaker 1: like James would give it. I feel like, you know, I.
Speaker 4: Feel like time James would be a good time in bed.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you'd probably be drinking right before it happened.
Speaker 1: I mean he would last a long time, you know,
Speaker 1: young fun girls to sir like, that's my vibe.
Speaker 4: I don't hate that answer.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't need to do that.
Speaker 3: But mine is Tom Schwartz.
Speaker 5: Really he is. Yeah, I feel he looks like my dad.
Speaker 3: Absolutely not, he looks like a dad.
Speaker 5: I feel like he would.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna fantasize it's gonna be about somebody today that he.
Speaker 3: Had an a hommer in an ill fitting suit, he'd
Speaker 3: be Joe's tight.
Speaker 5: Teddy plans. Do not know. I feel like Tom would
Speaker 5: like make love to you and James would like, No, I.
Speaker 3: Don't want making love, absolutely not.
Speaker 5: That's not happening.
