Starting point is 00:00:00 I say bitches a term of enduro meant that's just my lingo. What's up everyone it's Melissa. Welcome to another episode of on display. This one's going to be so juicy. It's someone who is just so in demand right now, I have the amazing Brandy Glanville on with me today. Hi, Brandy. Hi, I'm the list of how are you? I am good. When's the last time I saw each other not long ago, we were in Vegas together, right?
Starting point is 00:00:35 Yeah, we had so much fun. It was like, we really did. Like that's fun. I can't believe I forgot you are such good friends with Kristen Taekman. Like I forgot that you guys are like besties. Yeah, I've known her for like 25 years. Like I forgot that you guys are like besties. Yeah, I've known her for like 25 years.
Starting point is 00:00:47 Everyone's like, you guys are so opposite though. I'm like, well, if it wants to be friends with someone that's just like them. It's true because you have to like, it's the same thing when you get married. You want the guy to be like the quiet one or you have to be opposites. I feel like Joe and I are so similar
Starting point is 00:01:01 that we sometimes bump heads like crazy people because we're so similar. Yeah, you guys are a little wild couple. Oh, yeah. Wait, what were we doing? Were we being wild that night? Uh, Joe was for sure. Um, like, there were some stuff happening. It was hilarious though. Wait, tell me I need to know what was happening. What were we doing? No, he was dancing and then my friend Tommy's husband was in a chair and he was like gyrating on the chair.
Starting point is 00:01:25 Oh, I know, yes. I know. When Joe's like out having a good time, like he goes all in, he's a crazy person and it's always like sexual too, right? It's always like, I don't know. It has to be, but I love it. It's fun though.
Starting point is 00:01:37 I know, I always talk about that time you lick his cheek and I thought it was his, and most girls would get like so insulted and I was like, this girl just licked my husband's face. I was, I'll never forget that. That's how I always remember you as the first person I allowed to lick my husband's face. We had a good time that night. We were a little, we were little tipsy.
Starting point is 00:01:57 They kept bringing out champagne. Like I've never seen more champagne in my life. That was like, and those bottles of champagne were like $300 bottle to champagne. So I didn't even have to hang over next day. No, it was on. It was actually a gorgeous spot, guys. It really was in Vegas. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:02:13 What a beautiful, beautiful restaurant. But anyway, I am so excited to talk to you, girl, you are like, you're like in demand right now. Like I think Bravo is like buying you a new house at this point. Like you're on three. You're on all demand right now. Like I think Bravo is like buying you a new house at this point. Like you're on three, you're on all of these shows. They're definitely giving you a year, right? Like I'm so, I'm so happy for you.
Starting point is 00:02:33 Is this like exciting? What are you, are you overwhelmed? How are you feeling about all this? Yeah, you know, it's, I mean, I feel like I've been very blessed since leaving Housewives. I've been able to work the whole time. And as you know, housewives is the most stressful job to do. Of course. So I've been very blessed to be doing, like really fun things. Like, girls, Chip, you did one. They're just, like, you know, 10 days of
Starting point is 00:02:57 fun and a little bit of drama. But yeah, no, I just, I felt very happy. I'm, I'm happy to be working. I actually am buying a house. So that's good. Oh, see, you see that? Because like, listen, I'm like, wow, Brandi is back on the payroll. You're doing, you're doing like a lot of work with Bravo, which tells you and listen, you have always been like more
Starting point is 00:03:19 of a controversial because you say how you feel, right? Out of like, you know, somehow swipes are a little more quiet. You definitely are not that one. You're the one who's going to like say exactly how you feel, right? Out of somehow swipes are a little more quiet. You definitely are not that one. You're the one who's gonna say exactly how you feel. You're not, you don't get uncomfortable very easily, right? I mean, is that fair to say? Yeah, no, I don't. I mean, I don't, to be honest, I don't love drama.
Starting point is 00:03:39 Like, Kristen and I have never been in a fight or entire 25 years of friendship. Like, it's not like go to move, but I have the worst temper. And you know, when you're with people that you might not always hang out with, and they're being assholes, I'm sorry, I'm going to call it Macaron Asshole. Like I can't help myself. Right. Well, so first, tell me about filming this trader's show because this show is like, and I haven't seen it
Starting point is 00:04:04 yet, and I don't totally get it. Can you explain it? Is it over already? Or can we, I know we can still watch it on peacock, but is it how many episodes is that? So they dropped all 10 episodes at once. So it came out on January 12th, and yeah, you can watch all 10 now. And it was great. We filmed it. Like the first show I did out of COVID, so I was like 25 pounds heavier, but it was fine. But it was like in the Scotland and this beautiful castle. It was kind of to explain the way the show was. It was big brother meets fear factor meets.
Starting point is 00:04:42 Like it was a competition reality show, but with a lot of secrecy and backstabbing and manipulation and lying, which I thought I could do it. And you have to watch and see, but I did pretty good. Did you do good? Did you stay, did you hold in there pretty long? Well, I can't, I'm not allowed to give spoilers,
Starting point is 00:05:00 but I did figure out two of the traders, like almost immediately. Really? So yeah, I'm like, I know Bolch two of the traders, like almost immediately. Really? So yeah, I know bullshit when I see it. I'm just like, nope, nope, your trader, your trader. But then I told them they're traders, so that's not the smartest move. Right, so what do you... The only reason I found that Resa got kicked off first
Starting point is 00:05:21 was obviously the drama that he was having with Kyle from Watch What Happens Live, what he had said that she's the most overrated housewife. Why do you think he got kicked off first? What happened for that? Yeah, well, so he's just a really outspoken guy and I let that about him. And there's, you know, half the people there had never done reality television. So he was trying to make a good TV show by like, hey, so what do you guys think of this? Like bringing up conversations,
Starting point is 00:05:50 like just to have something to talk about was really more for the show than anything. And the people that hadn't done TV before thought he was trying to be like a producer or be bossy. I'm like you guys, he's actually doing us a favor by making us talk about something other than this nonsense that we're talking about that's never going to make the air. Got it. Got it. Yeah, and I think he was just a little loud and they wanted to get rid of someone
Starting point is 00:06:16 that was like, shocking, like kind of just say, hey, you know, like no one's in charge here. And I was really bummed to see him go because I really like him, but I don't understand why he doesn't like Kyle, but other than that, I really love Rosa. I know. I was like, I couldn't believe he said that. And I'm like, you know, that's totally going to be soon as I saw that go back and forth between the two of them. I'm like, oh, that's going to be the squash, the beef from from Bravo Khan, 2023. You're going to be the squash the beef from from Bravo Khan 2023. You're going to see the two of them get called up to squash the beef like 100%. That's what that's going to be. Yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 00:06:51 I just didn't understand it. He never said that to me. So I was like, huh, I mean, like I feel like she brings it all like the husband, the kids, the lifestyle. So she does. And also when you're on the spot, I will say, because I do love Reza and I do love Kyle. I love them both. So when you are like on the spot and Andy, oh, we stirs up those hard questions on watch what happens live. Sometimes you end up spitting out something that you don't really even mean. You know, I mean, I don't know. That's I always feel like when I'm on the spot, you don't, you don't want to not answer him, but you just say something, but you're not even sure why you even answered
Starting point is 00:07:24 that way. You know, of course. Like when not answer him, but you just say something, but you're not even sure why you even answered that way, you know? Yeah, of course. Like when he's like, uh, Jilla, Jorinda, and like, I like them both, but, um, I've known Jolonger, so like it's, uh, it's not a question you want to answer, but you have to. We're like, you have to pull out something from, from it. Uh, I know. I also, somebody DMs me, you know, I didn't see your episode on Watch What It happens like, but somebody did DM me and say they asked Teresa Melissa and she said Teresa. I'm like, really? Me and Brandi get along so good. And I don't even know if it's true or not. I read it somewhere. No, I did only because I've known her a lot. Like I've met you twice, but I've worked with Teresa. Like we've done like a ton of those housewife things together. So it was like,
Starting point is 00:08:04 it's just who do I know better? Not who do I like better? What do I mean? It's just like, I don't, uh. Brandi, I could care less anyway. I know how it goes and I know how these people like, you know, Andy is so good at stirring the pot and I know sometimes you're on the spot
Starting point is 00:08:18 and you just need to like answer the question, you know? No, like really, I was like, I love Melissa. I love Teresa, but I've worked with Teresa way more. So I have, you know, you have to answer like it is what it is. The same thing with Jill and Jorinda. I love them both, but I know Jill Lunger. So. Right. Right. So you have to go with that. Like, oh, so they asked you on the same show about Joe and D'Arenda too. Is that what you're saying? Jill Zaren. Jill Zaren or D'Arenda got you. And you're close with both of them. Yeah, I love them both. I've known Joe for like 10 years. So I had to stay jail and then of course now Durinda's mad.
Starting point is 00:08:49 So I can't make anyone happy. No, you know what? It's hard and like he stirs it so well that it's just so hard. It's like a lot of arguments come from watch what happens live. Like a lot of things come off that show. I mean, when you were on traders, who did you bond with immediately? Like, who was your person? It was honestly Kate Chastain from below deck and and then Raza as well, but then as we know, he left. So that sucked. Right. And all the boys are so cute. And like, they were
Starting point is 00:09:18 all like in such great shape. I'm like, you guys stay on my side because if we have a physical challenge, I'm going to need you to do it for me because I haven't worked out in two years. Oh my God. Plus your single. So it's not bad to have some in-shape guys by your side. Yeah, but they were all taken. It wasn't like that. I just wanted to win. Oh, got it. How was Kyle Cook? How was he on it? He's great. He's so, like, he's honestly very smart, very sweet. I thought he was gonna be like having attitude, but none at all. And also they didn't give us alcohol.
Starting point is 00:09:50 Like we had like maybe two glasses of wine the entire time we were there. So that also like adds to the fact that we were all on our best behavior. Exactly. Because alcohol just makes everyone do silly things. And it's that I feel like on housewives, if they can't wait to bring out the alcohol. And on this show, they didn't want to give it to you guys. I want it first thing because I get so stressed out. I'm like, oh my god, it's like my only friend in the room.
Starting point is 00:10:14 Give me my shard, and I, please. That brings me to the next question I was going to ask you, because we're going to talk about these two ultimate girls trips. You are ready on ultimate girls trip, too. You're about to do four, which I am so excited to ask you, because we're going to talk about these two ultimate girls trips. You are ready on ultimate girls trip too. You're about to do for, which I am so excited to ask you about that, because that one to me is going to be like, wow, because the, the cast that is on it. But let me tell you, when I was on the ultimate girls trip, you know, I was on the first one, I did find myself a little bit more nervous to go and film that than I felt to just go film our
Starting point is 00:10:45 Jersey show over here that I'm used to and it's like all of the this in people that I'm used to and I kind of like know what to expect. Were you do you find yourself it's a lot more nerve racking to film the girl's trips than it was to film your actual Beverly Hills show? Well, I mean, I've only done the one. I mean, I'm going into this one. I the first time. I don't know I liked it because I didn't have like history with everyone. It was gonna be like a whole new fresh experience So I kind of liked it in that way because when you have history with people as you know, it can go left really quick Right with this like I the only person I really have beef with is Camille, and I have a feeling we'll
Starting point is 00:11:27 have a conversation. And to your face, she's lovely, and then she'll go in a week and get on Twitter and be an asshole. So there's that. So I don't have a lot of stress going into it. However, I feel like they did put some personalities together that might not. Right. Well, no, we're going to talk about... Yeah, talk about it. However, I feel like they did put some personalities together that might not. Right. Well, no, we're going to talk about we're going to talk about
Starting point is 00:11:50 four, but I have to ask you about two first. How like was Durinda very in like I know Durinda personally, but at her house with the filming was she that intense in person like with the house? Was it that crazy? Yeah, no, it was definitely crazy. It was like, you know, we were working like 18 hours a day,
Starting point is 00:12:09 but it was, we were in her home, things were breaking and you know, it was just, it was a lot for her and I understood it, but then also because it was in her home, she felt like it was her trip, like we were there, like she was kind of the queen bee and then Vicki was there who, you know, think she started the show what she did kind of. Right. And so it was like having a queen bee off, but I'm like, I don't need to be a queen bee. I'm a vacation.
Starting point is 00:12:34 I'm just going to drink and smoke all day and just be the party girl and have fun. You, you, you like Taylor Armstrong was like constantly stirring up the drama, correct? With you. Yeah, which I didn't understand because I hadn't seen her a decade. I'm like, girl, I thought we were fine. Like what's happening? Do you think she was just being like thirsty or trying to like make her impact like back on TV? Yeah, I think that was the kind of the case for a lot of them. Like it was like, okay, this is my way back on Housewives. And I was like, no, it's the X wives club kids. We did that. We've been there. This is a whole different show. Let's just make it a whole
Starting point is 00:13:11 different show. Right. Right. Well, let me just tell you for season four. OK, the fact that Vicki, you and Vicki are both going back again. So you were both on two and you're both going to be on four. Am I right about that? Yeah. And so we're Pedro and Eva. I know. It's crazy that they're putting a lot of this thing. Why do you think they're doing that instead of like switching up and pulling like, you know, like not Dolores or this one or that one or I'm wondering why they're not pulling other girls.
Starting point is 00:13:37 I guess because this is still X wives, right? Is that how they're doing? Well, there's a, I mean, let's be honest, there's a ton of X wives. They can, they can go on forever with X lives. I think it's because we're the CEOs of fun. You, you guys really are. I mean, listen, how, first of all, what's going on with Alex McCord? I just saw something on Twitter where I guess she hasn't been around in a while,
Starting point is 00:13:58 which she hasn't. I feel like she doesn't even stay like in the public. She's one of the ones who kind of just like fell off and we haven't heard from her, we don't see her. I don't see people like push around her kids or her Instagram or anything. And I guess she was just asking everyone on Instagram to give a little like, what do they like about everyone? And you didn't like that. Well, I didn't understand it
Starting point is 00:14:20 because I was the first one she posted about. I was like, so well, like what are you doing? Go look up YouTube. She was saying, what are you doing? Go look at YouTube. She was saying, give me some of Brandy's best moments. I'm like, hello YouTube. I don't have anything against her. I don't know her, but I just thought it was a little like thirsty in a way. And I just didn't, I don't know, I didn't like it, but do you know her personally or do you have anything against her? You don't really know her. No, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:14:47 I just didn't understand the post. I just thought it was like a weird thing to post. And I was like, bitch, well, you, I say bitch is a term of a German. Like I'm like, all right, bitches, let's go. You know what I mean? Like that's just not, it's not like a rude thing for me. For me, you say bitch the way people say bro. Like, yeah, exactly. I'm like, I was shooting the filming.
Starting point is 00:15:07 I was packing scene with my kids. I'm like, these bitches, you know, they're all married. I didn't mean it. And like, they're bitches. I just meant that like all the girls are married. So I don't, I don't, I don't, some people I hate that word, I get it, but like, that's just my lingo.
Starting point is 00:15:22 But I'm like, bitch, go to YouTube. Like, YouTube me, you'll, you'll see my highlights. Well, honestly, a lot of people thought that it was kind of mean girl, but now that you're explaining that it, that was the first one she did, it's like, you didn't get what she was, you didn't understand that she was going to ask about every other person too in the beginning, which kind of makes a little more sense because people are like, why is it going to be a mean girl to this girl? But if you're with a first one, she posted, maybe that's why you were like a little off and like, what is she doing? Yeah, I was just like, what is this?
Starting point is 00:15:50 Like, because we all, we can all look up each other's highlights, you know what I mean? Yes, and like, and honestly for me, I want to go in and meet the girls and make my own decisions on what I think personally, not what everyone else is telling me. I don't like, you know, of course, think about it in my ear about different people on the show. And I'm like, you know what, guys, like I respect that, you know, you have issues with these girls. My only issue is really with Camille, and I'm going to go in and I'm going to make my own decisions, you know, meeting these people. As we all, as we all should, we're grownups.
Starting point is 00:16:26 We shouldn't be fighting other people's battles. So is there anyone else on this cast that's gonna be in, you guys are going to Morocco, by the way, which is pretty amazing. I mean, we went to Turks and Kekos, it was gorgeous, but Morocco, oh my God, I'm so jealous. First of all, that's so far. I know, I've actually been there. It going to be freezing. I want to go to
Starting point is 00:16:47 church and cakeers. What are you talking about? I want my own hotel room. We're going to be in one big giant chateau all together. And you know, that is straight drama. Oh my God. I can. I'm also you not know that's going. Who have you not met? That's going to be on the fourth one. Um, I haven't met Caroline. Well, I've met Caroline Matt's a one-time but she wasn't super friendly. Really? So I'm a little worried about her because she seems like she's very, like if I was like, hey bitch, what's up? I don't know, she'll look at you. I'm telling you right now, she'll look at you sideways.
Starting point is 00:17:20 That's what I'm worried about. I'm like, because people, they don't know me, they don't know that that's like a friendly, like I say, you know, I just, I have worried about. I'm like, because people, they don't know me. They don't know that that's like a friendly, like I say, you know, I just, I have my language. I like the F word, I say, I'm like a morning, but you know, like that's just me. So I'm a little worried that she's gonna be military style and she's not gonna understand me. Well, to be honest, I feel like she actually,
Starting point is 00:17:42 like she has, she has really cool kids. I personally, obviously you know, I know her very well. Um, I love her. I think I appreciate her for what she is. I know she is, she is a little bit, like, you know, she's a boss type, right? She has that vibe, but she means well, and she actually has a great heart. So I feel like if you make her laugh and she thinks you're funny, which you are, Brandi, you are like, you're, you're kind of like, you can be funny.
Starting point is 00:18:05 You're like, even when you say bitch. I'm always joking. Yeah, you're a joker. You're up to have a good time. She's not going to drink much Caroline. So she's not, I know, already. She's not going to be like, you're drinking, buddy. But she's definitely, I think she'll learn to love you.
Starting point is 00:18:22 I was curious. I said, oh my God, how are Brandy and Caroline Manzo going to be together? Because like just so opposite, right? Like two opposites. But sometimes opposites attract, right? I mean, like, yeah, for sure. I mean, like one of my best friends is like 67 years old and she's super conservative and she just lives like, like, seriously through me and she's like,
Starting point is 00:18:45 you are too wild, but we like, like I said, Kristen and I are not the same. She's just we're so opposite that we're best friends. So, you know, you never know. I'm like, I'm going into it with an open heart. Like I don't want to fight with anyone except for Camille. Great. She's an idiot and we have.
Starting point is 00:19:03 Except for with Camille. So you do not like Camille. Right. She's an idiot. And we have the... Except for with Camille. So you do not like Camille. No, I do not. You guys argued when you were on Beverly Hills as well? No, we were friendly. What we did recently, like the past time, like a couple seasons ago when I was still like great, they were bringing me back about, you know, the Denise stuff and all of that.
Starting point is 00:19:21 She, um, she and I were fine actually. And and out of the blue she just went after me on Twitter and I'm like wait Camille like we're friends what is happening? So I'm just very like it seems like she'll just go with whoever's most likely going to be back on the show and go after whoever that person is going after. So it's like she jumped on a band rag and to go after me, telling Denise to sue me, saying I was a liar on Twitter. And so I just called her. I'm like, go, you have my number. If you have something to say, call me and say it. Like, don't be a coward and take it to the public. Like, and she did not answer my call. So yeah, we have some things to work out for sure. Do you think she was always like dying to or wanted to be back on Beverly Hills?
Starting point is 00:20:10 Yeah, I think like a lot of us like once you once you're in it, you you kind of feel like you're missing it. I mean, you've always you stayed in it the whole time. So I think if you've done it for quite a few seasons, it's like your ex-boyfriend that you can't quit. You can't quit. You just keep going back to the drama. It's serious. You can't. It's like, oh, that was a big part of my life,
Starting point is 00:20:33 and then you're just supposed to walk away from it. It's difficult. No, I get that because it becomes a PCU. What I always complain about, to be honest, I'm being on housewives, is like, you know, we can, we make money, right? We do our thing, we do the show, it films for three, four months. But like for me, it's the constant, it's like the 24 hours a day on this Instagram and
Starting point is 00:20:56 Twitter and like the nasties and the, just the fan account and like the good and the bad, it's just, it's like a non-stop job that goes on. It's definitely a year round job. And like, I feel like Instagram brings it to the It's just it's like a nonstop job that goes on. It's definitely a year round job. And like I feel like Instagram brings it to the next level because it's like no one in the right mind is signing up to be chastise on Instagram or Twitter for all 12 months out of the year. Who's signing up for that, you know?
Starting point is 00:21:18 No, and I get like Googled or it's about housewives. And so I've seen some of the ones about you and it. But I'm like, why, why like why are these people so obsessed I get it but like they have to realize it's a show we're here to entertain you we're sharing part of our lives with you have some grace like like give us a little bit of a break it's it's too much I mean I got to a point where I was like when I left when I got fired, I was so depressed and so obsessed with social media, I was really listening to everything that everyone was saying and I couldn't handle it. I was like, this is like bonkers. I mean like every single person was just hating, hating, hating, and I really
Starting point is 00:22:03 became obsessed with it. And now I'm in such a better place because I have people that do my social media for me. They delete the bad comments. I don't read. I was the smartest way. That's the smartest way. And I've just given that advice to the two. You know, I'm good friends with the one of the new girls, Rachel. And I was just giving her that she was like, wow, wow, she's like, I've never seen anything like this. Like the comments and the people and the judging before they meet you.
Starting point is 00:22:31 And I'm like, girl, just like buckle up. It's sad. It's the sad part of it, to be honest. It's that social media. But like unfortunately or fortunately, actually, like what they say there really isn't how the real world feels most of the time It's like completely different, you know, so it's it's like the haters are gonna hate and that's a true thing You know, it's like and most of them have multiple accounts
Starting point is 00:22:55 So you think there's five people hating you. It's the same person sitting there with three different accounts coming at you from all angles You know, and let's be clear that's a one percent of the people that watch the show. It's a people that have way too much time on their hands. They're on Twitter constantly, 24 or seven because they don't have jobs. And everyone else that watches the show is not doing that. And unfortunately, it's what we pay attention to
Starting point is 00:23:19 and we tend to pay more attention to the negative ones because it hurts our feelings. People think that we're these robots that can just get you know, like for rated like all day long. And you have to remember it. We're humans and our feelings get hurt too and try to have a little like, you know, we're not respect, but we're here to entertain you. We're sharing our lives at the air.
Starting point is 00:23:43 So be nice or don't do anything at all. It is you are 100% right when you say we tend to just read the bad one. Meanwhile, there's only like the bad ones out the good always outweighs the bad, right? And it's like we're just zoning on like the four people out of the thousand who say crazy. Like, you know, so it's like we I have learned that. Obviously, you could tell you've learned that now too. We've been around for a while. So that's why I try to teach the newbies. I'm like, like, you know, so it's like, we, I have learned that. Obviously, you could tell you've learned that now too. We've been around for a while. So that's why I try to teach the newbies.
Starting point is 00:24:09 I'm like, listen, it's stressful. You can't let it take over your life, especially they have small babies. And I'm like, you just, you want focus. You need to just put the phone down and walk away from it or else, you can get sucked in. And, and it's true. I like how you're honest about saying like, the time you dove into social media and the times that you really dug in Worth your most depressed times because that will depress anyone. Yeah, it's not it's a it's a it's a
Starting point is 00:24:34 Reading ground for hate. It's really social media is not social like that's why I feel like when Instagram kind of came around Over Twitter, it was like great great, just post a picture. And then those comments came out of me and people like, you know, saying bad things about how you look and like you can never win. So I just made the decision to hire people to help me with it. And like every once in a while, I'll go on and I'll do me.
Starting point is 00:25:00 And she's like, why did you do that? I'm like, because I'm still me. You're not actually me just so you know. Right. And I can do it when I want to. But it's just my life is just softer and healthier without constantly being on my phone and worrying about what everyone thinks to me. Because you're never going to win. Oh, no. and you have to give your energy to you. You have you have sons, right? It's like you have to give energy. Other places, like even with Fermi, like I run so many businesses at this point,
Starting point is 00:25:32 I have the podcast, I have envy, I do this, I do that. It's like I can't sit here and read with these, what these 12 people are saying to me over and over and over again, like literally making up accounts just to bash mail day. It's like have fun with that. I hope you're making money and getting paid, but like I need to go to work.
Starting point is 00:25:47 You know, it's like, no, exactly. And we want to be the best versions of ourself for our kids. And when I was reading all of that, it would make me want to drink and I was depressed. And I was in the worst mood. And I was not like my, at my best being a mom when I was on housewives.
Starting point is 00:26:04 My had little kids. I was so social media was fairly new when I started. And it was just an obsession and it was just so dark. And it really took me down. And it'll take anyone down. It really will. If someone, if you really go and I always say, like, you know, don't jump down the rabbit hole because once you jump down the hole and you're in it and you're reading it, it's very hard to climb out of the hole, you know?
Starting point is 00:26:28 No, for sure. 100%. It's the worst. Who watches? So now, how do you do this with the kids when you're away for how long are you guys going for? We're going for 10 days. So I've been divorced for 13 years now. So we have a pretty good relationship and he travels a lot and I have the kids a lot and vice versa.
Starting point is 00:26:47 So we just like as long, you know, we have the like if he's traveling, I take the kids, if I'm traveling, he takes the kids. And then if we're both not available, his parents are here and there were my favorite humans on the planet. Besides my parents, even though I think I might like his parents better because I fight with my parents. Oh my god, I love that. I didn't know you were so close with his parents. Oh my god. I love them. They're the like the sweetest, like the happiest people in the world. And really? Yeah. Like I nurse them both through cancer and they lived with us for a while. And I just absolutely adore them. Um, and so do my kids. So. So that's awesome that you have that and them to back you up. And they want you to make money, right?

Well, the kids are kind of grown at this frame, like one's almost 16 and once 19, but those are the ages where we need to have the cameras on in the house. And we need to make sure that someone's watching them. But like if I'm leaving for a day or two, like, like Mason can stay here and watch my dog for me, like, I pay him to dog sit because he's in college and he needs money. Oh, so that's good.
