From Vanderpump Rules to Vegas and everywhere in between, it's time to party with Sheena Shea.
This is Shenanigans, and now here's your host, Sheena Shea.
Woohoo! Alright, we are burning in hell with Hannah Burner. Getting into some shenanigans.
How are you?
Always. Whenever I'm with Sheena, you don't know where the night's going to take you.
You don't.
But we are drinking and podcasting.
We have a shout out to Mighty Swell.
These are like my new favorite seltzers.
They're really good.
Austin, Texas.
That's cool.
Yeah.
Love Austin.
Anything in Austin is interesting.
Definitely.
We are recording on Patreon.
So if y'all want to watch this video, go and sign up.
So we are in LA. You're doing this little comedy tour that I
have just become like, I feel like your bandaid, you know, you're my number one groupie. I love it.
And mom. Yes. Mom and Courtney comes through. Brock came. Yeah. Basically, when I feel alone
and scared in LA, Sheena shows up and has my fucking back. So we went and saw you at Flappers on Sunday night
and that was so much fun. Oh, thank you. By the way, Sheena's already seen me do comedy
and Sheena's a busy woman. Not only is obviously she busy as an entrepreneur, but she's a mother.
Yeah. She keeps me busy. Of a child and two beautiful cats. So the fact that you came to
support me like means the world. You're just like too, I didn't expect you to come beautiful cats. So the fact that you came to support me means the world.
I didn't expect you to come.
Yeah, so Jamie had texted me and she was like, oh, Hannah.
And I was like, wait, I honestly couldn't remember if we talked about that when we hung out in New York last week.
Because it was a pump and dump night for mom.
So there were some tequila shots involved.
And I was like, wait, did Hannah invite me to her show?
And I was like, am I supposed to go me to her show? And I was like,
am I supposed to go? Like, I was like, well, I want to go, obviously.
Junk plans don't count. You're like, I'll do yoga with you in the morning. I couldn't remember. So I was so glad that Jamie messaged me and was like, let's go.
So brought mom, brought my sister. Dude, Jamie got so toucan Jamie Shwasted.
It was like, there was this whole story about how at my baby shower,
she had two cans of this like Canvino wine.
And she was like on the floor.
This was just two glasses of rosé.
I don't know what kind of rosé they serve at Flappers.
But all of a sudden, psychic drunk Jamie is out.
MJ from Shaw's is there.
And so was her dad, who, as you guys know, has passed on.
But he was there.
Shams was there.
I was like, okay, Jamie.
It was, no, no.
Sheena basically was the in-between of the afterlife.
Yeah.
And Sheena walked up to MJ and was like, do you like watermelons i'm just like yeah
and she's like yeah jamie told me to tell you that and she's like what i was like do you believe
in psychics because i couldn't remember where mj stood on this if she was like very pro psychics
or like no they're fucking frauds like i knew it was like one or the other and if anyone watches
bravo you know this is a pro psychic episode.
Oh my God.
Us and our psychics with the show.
We were so into it.
And I honestly, I prefer drunk psychic Jamie.
Yeah.
Very interesting.
Very, very like on another level.
Interesting.
So she tells me, she's like, Sheena, like MJ's dad is here and he's telling me to not say anything because she's either like not
going to believe it or it's not the right time.
She's like, so I don't want to say anything.
She's like, but he won't leave.
He's telling me.
Apparently she loved eating watermelon with him.
Yeah.
As a kid, like that was like a thing that they did.
I was like, whatever Jamie says, Jamie gets.
So I was like, and he like keeps like saying stuff to Jamie and she's like trying to focus
and she's like, ah, like I can't get him out of my head.
And so I was like, I'm just going to go say say something that's so funny that it's like a friend who's
always on their phone yeah but that's when Jamie's just talking to people in the afterlife and you're
like Jamie hello are you listening she's like sorry MJ's dad is like telling me shit so funny
I should do that just when like guys are hitting on me that I don't want to talk to I'm like sorry
the afterlife is like right they're in my head right now so I was like you know what I'm like, sorry, the afterlife is like really in my head right now. So I was like, you know what?
I'm just going to go ask MJ because I think she is a believer.
But if she's not, then I'll just be like, never mind.
Like my friend's fucking crazy.
Like just don't.
So I was like, MJ, I was like, do you believe in psychics?
And she's like, yeah, why?
And I was like, would you believe me if I told you that your dad is here right now?
And she's like, wait, what?
Like so into it. And I was like, hold, please. We both got goosebumps. Well, first you go,
did you eat watermelon with your dad? And she said, yes. As a kid. And then she was
like, whoa. And then she was like, yeah, apparently your dad's here. And he's been talking about
watermelon. Yeah. And she's like, hi, dad. And she like did an imaginary hug. And then
if I was her, I wouldn't be asking like a bazillion questions. But I could tell MJ was
like, you know, she was cool. She wasn't trying to like delve into it and then we all had a bonding
moment with MJ's dad yeah and then Jamie literally like she couldn't drive home that night so my
sister drives her car back here she spends the night and it was funny I meant to mention this
on last week's podcast I did a Q&A with Brock and she sent in a question. Let me find it because I was like, we need to address this.
So we come back and Jamie and I were like, you know, may as well keep it going. Popped another
bottle of Rose. We're like, well, you're here for the night. You know, I mean, I already have to
dump or drink my milk, so let's just keep it going. So she's telling me about, you know, the guy that she's talking to, et cetera.
And Brock is in the room.
So Jamie said, I asked her a question.
She goes, yes, thank you for asking.
I'd like to know what crawled up his butt when he was rage texting me.
So she's wasted.
He's like, Jamie, shut the fuck up.
These guys.
And like Brock's just like getting annoyed, like hearing these stories. Because he's like jamie shut the fuck up these guys and like brock's just like getting
annoyed like hearing these stories trying to sleep yes and she's just like talking about this guy
and so he's like rage texting her and the next day i looked at his phone and i was like
honey that was a little aggressive like it was like seven texts like you had to scroll to see the whole message. No Brock was sober. Yes. But that's a
classic like you're sober and someone's drunk and they don't realize how not entertaining they're
being. So get this Brock finds the guy she's talking about on Instagram. He pulls up as if
he's going to group chat her and him together he has the message typed out screenshots
it texts it to her and he goes do i hit send and she's like no oh my god he's like my child is
sleeping shut the fuck up and i was like oh my god honey like don't do it he wasn't going to but
all it takes is an accidental tap she's like are you threatening me and he's like absolutely
absolutely yeah oh my god that was a fun, drunk Jamie night.
I love protective dad, bro.
He's like, if you don't shut up about this fuck boy, my daughter's going to miss her sleep.
And then I have to deal with it the next day.
Yeah.
But I do think she will be back for, whether it's a drinking and podcasting or just a podcast soon.
So stay tuned.
In the meantime, that was your show on Sunday, which was so much fun. And then last night I'm around the corner at a music event
and I was posting a story cause this band shout out to, uh, there were three artists there. They're
up and coming artists. It was this event called music swipe. And it's this new app where they
feature like up and coming artists. They play 15 seconds of a song.
And if you like the song, you swipe, and it, like, adds it to a playlist.
And if you don't like it, then, you know, you just move on.
So it was three new artists.
I think Ella Rose, a band called Nightly, and a band called Calabasas.
The two bands kind of reminded me of, like, Emblem 3.
Like, they were just really good.
So I was like, I need to, like, post these guys and shout them out so I post a video and right after I post it the first thing I see on my feed was Katie
Cazorla's flyer for the laugh factory at 9 30 I see your picture and I was like wait what I'm like
it's 9 15 I think we can make both happen in my head I'm like Sheena would never want to go
and see me do comedy again
in one week
always invite me
I will come see you
I don't care if it is
the exact same routine
and I have it memorized
I will still laugh
I will still come
every fucking night
Sheena as a mom
is like goals
because Sheena asked me
to go to this event
and I was like
oh my god I can't
I have a stand up set
she goes to the party and my stand-up set.
I was like, see, you could have done both.
You could have made both happen.
And that's how it's fucking done.
But, like, we had a rowdy night at Laugh Factory, too.
It was just wild.
Let's talk about it.
L.A. is a scene.
Everywhere I go, some shit goes down.
Yeah.
Are we the drama?
Right?
Follow us?
We're sitting at Laugh Factory.
We've now made both things happen.
And I see this guy walk by, and I was like, was that Chris D'Elia?
And I'm like, honey.
And we were just catching up on you, season three.
So I'm like, remember?
I was like the celebrity guy that Joe killed Henderson.
I was like, that's him.
And then remember how he got canceled? And he was like, yeah. And I was like, that's him. And then remember how he got canceled
and he was like, yeah. And I was like, he's here. And then this guy goes up to do stand up and he
goes, wait him. And I was like, wait a second. I swore that was Chris D'Elia, but this guy is not
Chris D'Elia. There was another comic, same height, wearing the same outfit, like a dark gray sweatshirt
and pants. They looked very alike. So similar. We were both very confused because I was waiting to
go on and I saw, I thought I saw Chris D'Elia. Yeah. Then I saw this other comic and I'm like,
oh, I think I was just seeing things, but I'm not good at faces. That's what I thought too.
Then I saw Chris D'Elia again and I'm like, am I going crazy? Then I saw the other comic,
long story short, I have a bit, a joke where I make fun of Chris D'Elia and I was going to do it.
And then I was like, I can't risk. What if he is here?
Yeah, like I don't want to insult Chris D'Elia to his face.
Right.
So I like didn't do the bit.
And then afterwards, Katie was like, Chris D'Elia is like going to perform tonight.
Yeah.
And he hasn't performed.
Since he got canceled.
He might have done like a couple shows.
But Theo Vaughn was there.
Yeah.
Who's fucking great.
Love him.
And I've seen him do stand up a few times too.
So when I saw like all of y'all were there last night.
Such different styles, too, right?
So good.
It must have been so weird, too, to see me, like, in a more, like, comedy environment with the other comics.
Because you've only seen me, like, headline alone.
Yeah.
But I was like, am I?
I guess I'm an L.A. comic now.
Totally.
Oh, my God.
No, it was so fun.
Even the guy who went before you did, I didn't know if you were there for his set.
I saw some of it.
Okay.
It was so good.
But all different styles and it just shows like there's so many perspectives that people
can have of life that make you crack up.
Yeah.
So this like, I don't want to call him a bootleg, but like this like, you know.
Can you call him a Walmart Chris D'Elia?
Okay, yeah.
He laughed about it.
He knows.
Right.
Okay. So he should write that into one of his bits.Elia? Okay, yeah. He laughed about it. He knows. Right. Okay.
So he should write that into one of his bits.
His name is Mark Hayes.
He's hot and Irish.
You guys should follow him.
Very, yeah, thick Irish accent.
So right when he comes up, I realize, I'm like, oh, that's not Chris D'Elia.
I was like, maybe I was seeing things.
Unless Chris D'Elia has a new accent.
He's reinventing himself.
I mean, it might not be the worst idea.
But then Chris D'Elia is there.
I was like, oh, they are both there.
We're not seeing things.
And I was just like,
we have to stay, because we were just coming
to see you, and then I was like, okay, Theo came on
right after you, so I was like, okay, and then we gotta go home
for baby. But my mom was like, she's sleeping,
she's fine, stay out, have fun.
Your mom's an angel. She's the best.
So I was like, well, if Chris D'Elia
is performing, I need to see this.
He has to acknowledge being canceled in his stand-up.
You can't go on just like nothing happened.
Like, oh, traffic's weird.
Like, you can't do that.
So it was the first thing he said.
Like, he stands up.
He goes, so I got canceled.
And we're just like, we're all aware.
He had a joke.
He was like, my baby, I have a baby now.
Yeah.
And the baby's been crying every day.
Every day.
And I've been crying with the baby because I lost my career.
And like, so he, I like that he did address what was going on.
He talked about how he has sex addiction, how he has anger issues.
And like, he's really leaning into it.
So it was interesting.
I mean, you know, this town, how people like come and go and there's all kinds of stuff going on we don't know the details really
of his accusations and stuff but um it was a wild night to like witness in the flesh because
everything's been just during quarantine virtual like you just see articles about people and totally
so to see and you could tell he's been through some shit. Oh, yeah. Yeah. For sure. So, like, you and Chris D'Elia do a show together last night, like, randomly.
And then Sunday night, can we talk about who your opener was for the show that you headlined?
Oh, my God.
Jay fucking Leno opens up Hannah's show that she's headlining.
Like, Jay Leno.
This is so LA.
So, like, I guess Jay Leno's working on material.
Yeah.
So he'll just like
hit up the club
and be like,
hey, is there a show tonight?
I'd like to do 20 minutes.
Yeah.
Oh, it's Hannah's show.
Like ask her.
But obviously
you're going to say yes.
Of course.
But it's just crazy
because before I did
Summer House and Bravo,
I was like,
I want to be on TV.
Like I want to make people laugh.
And then like it's crazy
how the universe,
last time I was in LA was a year ago.
I went to Laugh Factory with my mom and just like watched comics.
I was like, this is awesome.
Yesterday was my first time performing at the Laugh Factory.
And it was kind of a cool full circle.
Even being there with you to show like you've been part of my journey
and like Bravo's been such a big part of my journey.
But like things evolve and even Jay Leno being there, it's just fucking crazy that like.
Like could you ever imagine that?
It's such a small world.
No.
High school Hannah, like one day Jay Leno's going to open up for me when I do stand up.
Also low key, Jay Leno's kind of hot.
Like he's a zaddy.
Oh yeah.
He's like, I'm into older men now, but.
And he was like tall.
I envisioned that he'd be like short.
Yeah.
But he was like sturdy, like strong man. be like short yeah but he was like sturdy like
strong man anyway he can get it yep so much fun I'm just I'm so proud of you I'm so happy that
like I was able to come to a couple of your shows this week it meant the world to me and also I love
that you have such a sense of humor to like I feel like you just enjoy performers too oh yeah
because you're such a performer at heart that you understand what it takes to even do 15 minutes.
Oh, totally.
And it's also really cute that you and Brock are doing date nights and doing fun things together.
I think that's what brought you together initially.
So I love to see that you're not turning into a different kind of couple just because you have a baby.
I'm like, look, if we're not having sex regularly, we've got to keep the date nights regular.
Because sex after a baby... Is your like, look, if we're not having sex regularly, we got to keep the date nights regular.
Because sex after a baby.
Is your vagina okay, babe?
She is.
Yes, she didn't tear.
I only had one little internal stitch.
And like all was good.
Once I got cleared to have sex again, we're like.
How did we do this?
Mentally, not there. The first time we tried, we're like in Palm Springs.
She's asleep inside.
But then it was just like the whole time I'm thinking, I'm like, oh, my God, what if this is the first time she rolls over?
And like we didn't have the bassinet set up there because we just randomly went out there one night.
And then my AC was broken.
And it was just it was a whole thing.
So I'm like trying to get into it.
I was so in my head.
And he knew I was in my head.
And he's very much like
it's like mental for him like he can't just fuck me oh like he just he won't do it like he needs
to have that like emotional connection and i'm like can you just like get behind me and fuck me
he won't do it he won't do it wait brock is so what a little softie i know oh my god so like
that's awesome but sometimes i'm like can you just get behind me? Sometimes you just need to orgasm, like, literally for your health.
So that's why I've now found a love for vibrators.
Because it's like, unless we can be in that mental, emotional state and connection, you know, it just –
And sometimes you're like, why do I have anxiety?
I've been drinking water.
What's going on?
And sometimes you just need to, like, release.
It's like a sneeze.
Sometimes you just have to fucking sneeze from your vagina. Yes. And do dildo ads um but it's also funny it's like
almost having a pet watching you have sex but like a thousand times worse when you have a baby
oh yeah first you're like oh butter my cat like don't look and then you literally have a human
and also you feel like you're a mom which is like not necessarily like the sexiest thing, but
then you also still want to be like fuckable, but then you also want to be a caretaker.
I don't know.
It's being a woman is so complex.
There's so many sides of it.
You don't have to pick one or the other.
No, totally.
And it was like in the beginning, like I still wasn't even comfortable with like my body
and how I looked and felt.
And then I'm also like, I'm breastfeeding still.
I'm like, am I going to just be like squirting out milk at you?
Like, I don't know what my, like my boobs now,
they just have a mind of their own.
And like when they're full, it's just like,
pew, pew, pew, like they drip.
It's a lot.
Do you feel like you have a slightly different relationship
with your body now that you see like the purpose it's filled?
Not like, not just to be sexy all the time.
Yeah.
It was a struggle for me
a little bit in the beginning just because it was like I didn't even mind I gained about 55 pounds
and I didn't even mind like the weight gain the big belly like being swollen all of that because
I was like I'm creating human life yeah but then once she's out and then I'm like, oh, now I just look like this.
You're like an empty garbage can.
Like my belly button was stretched.
I don't know, like this wide.
It looked so weird.
I have had my belly button pierced for 20 years.
So to already like not have that in and then to just see this crazy wide belly button. And the saggy skin.
And it was just like, and the saggy skin. And it was just like, nothing fit me.
I was home for three days from the hospital before we started filming this season.
So I'm like, cool. Like Lala just snapped back and is in a fucking little string bikini, like
being like, I need to wear high-waisted for my pooch. And I'm like, fuck you. Shut up.
Look at me. Okay. like you look better now than you
did before you had a baby how is that even possible and it's like don't compare Sheena
you know like everyone's journey's different but it's just oh yeah well most people don't have to
go immediately on national tv no right after they pop them out not at all so like if you want to
have a confident fight with someone you don't be worried also like what skin is like flinging around.
No.
And then it's like with our group, we do so many themed fucking parties that by like the third one, I was like, if there's one more fucking themed party this season, this summer, I'm going to lose my shit.
And then my own boyfriend decides, let's do a Mad Max themed
birthday party I don't even know what Mad Max is like I'm so confused I'm like what is Mad Max
why is Max mad like literally you're like it sounds like negative energy I don't want the
anger around me yeah but it's true like it's hard enough to find your own outfit of normal clothes that you like, but to find
a themed one that fits your body type or whatever.
And also, a lot of times, it's like you're just kind of insecure about it.
But you still want to feel confident when someone calls you out or something on reality
TV and you have to defend yourself.
So.
But you did it.
Yeah.
You look stunning.
Also.
Thank you.
It was all worth it for the pregnancy photos.
I mean. Thank you. I mean worth it for the pregnancy photos i mean thank you i mean here's the next fucking level i am so thankful that i over the top did so many
photos because i was like thinking at the time like i always tend to think pessimistically which
i think is thinking realistically like what if happens? What if this is the only time in my life that I am pregnant and who would have known that I would get diagnosed with
help syndrome, which could have been fatal. They caught it just in time. Now I honestly don't know
that I want to get pregnant again because it could be fatal. It could be nothing. I might not get it
again. It could be, I need to deliver three weeks early do an emergency
c-section like her lungs might not or his lungs might not be developed like next time around like
I don't know so I'm like now we're strongly considering adoption surrogacy one and done
we don't know but I'm like I got the photos celebrate those fucking moments like celebrate
the wins in life yes because it's easy to just sit around and like complain about the shit but yeah we all were on your journey yeah to like getting pregnant and
it's important to fucking own that shit and celebrate it and you looked fucking hot well
thank you appreciate it okay back to you so we hung out in new york a couple weeks ago we're
here in la this week and now i'm going back to New York so by the time you guys are listening to this we've already hung out again yeah in New York it's insane I just I love
this the Sheena time I cannot have enough except it's funny because I just like aspire to be as
social as you and you're like that friend who's like we should do something and I'm like Sheena's
right Sheena's right I need to get off the couch because I do think I had a time where like
especially in quarantine you kind of just get, like, a little depressed.
You're not feeling that great about yourself.
So when I don't feel good about myself, I don't really care to, like, show face around
town.
But, like, having you always be there, like, liking stuff on Instagram, little nice texts,
like, I never felt scared to, like, come out and, like, I, like, push past anxiety when
I'm hanging out with you, which I love.
Yay.
Well, I love hanging out with you. you are literally one of my favorite people I was so excited for my sister to meet you when we were in New York a few weeks ago we hit it off she vibes right yeah she
was like wait Hannah has a show I want to come but like more like sarcastic Gen Z-ish type vibes
bitchy version of me and I'm obsessed with that yeah, Sheena's love and light, and Kourtney is, like, love and light with a shitty attitude.
Oh, yeah.
You know?
Like, I love it.
Totally.
So we just talked about how Jay Leno opened up for you.
I want to know, if you could open up for anyone or have anyone else open up for you, who would it be?
I really love Amy Schumer and Chelsea Handler.
Me too.
Oh, my God. I love them. They are such fucking
trailblazers. I grew up watching Chelsea Lately like every night before I was going to bed. I
watched Chelsea Lately and the way she interviews really inspired me because like she showed that
women could be like I hate to use this word but you're with an Australian. Cunty. Uh-huh. Like
she's cunty and she'd make like the male guests uncomfortable and she had this
confidence about her where like she didn't care how she looked she just was like i'm a power bitch
and i'm gonna make everyone laugh and she didn't have to be smiley all the time and she just she
was different and cool and then amy schumer i think is one of the funniest people ever oh yeah
and seeing her blow up yeah so it's funny's funny because I like. Did you watch her on Last Comic Standing?
No.
Oh, see, that's where I first got introduced to her. Oh, so you're an OG.
Oh, yeah, OG.
From like her first routine on television, I was like, I like this chick.
So you really are like a comedy fan.
And you could tell early on like she had it.
Yeah, for sure.
And it's funny with your career.
I feel like you can't teach funny.
Yeah.
But then it's your job to like become better at writing become better performing cutting the fat of your set so like that's what I'm doing now which
is like the hard part is like me saying like I want to fucking do this for real yeah and do the
tour and now it's like just getting better and be a little critical and right try to be as funny as
I can while also having fun with it because if you're not having fun with it you can't be funny
yeah I mean so Amy Schumer and I have like friends of friends who are like i'm kind of
connected to her but i haven't actually so embarrassing she didn't follow me for a second
same and then she unfollowed me what the fuck is up with that i was just going to say so she
followed kristin and i one night broke my fucking i'm like what did i post that turned her off i
know i think she just had a
night where she followed a bunch of bravo people and then was like fuck all of you i don't need
to follow you i was so excited when i got that notification she followed and it was like at the
top of all my stories i was like well i made it i made it i was bragging to des i was bragging to
my mom and then i checked my phone one day and i was like oh no she, she hates me. Wait, the fact this happened to you
makes me feel as bad. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe she follows some Bravo labs. What's funny, like Des knows her.
My ex knows her. We'll meet eventually. Yeah, for sure. We will. And I know she watches Bravo. Like
she's been on Watch What Happens Live and stuff. So I'm like, obviously she knows who we are if
she followed us, even if it was just for a night or a week or however long it was but I remember talking to she definitely listens to shenanigans yes yeah I'm not glad that that happened to you also but
I'm glad that we could have this moment together because I remember texting Kristen I was like I
was just self-hating I was like what did I post that she was like that's stupid I'm unfollowing
right or I'm like oh maybe she didn't like something I said on Summer House.
Oh, God.
Oh, no.
What was it?
I was thinking the same thing.
Who knows?
Yeah, totally.
We'll get her back.
Where out of all of the places that you've done a show
has been your favorite?
And where is like a venue that would be like your dream
place to do stand-up at?
Oh, my gosh.
OK, so my dream is to do, this sounds random,
but Wisconsin.
So I went to University of Wisconsin-Madison, which is like the most fun town in the Midwest.
It's like the party school in the Midwest.
Wow.
Wisconsin.
Yeah, it's like because it's so cold, you just always need a liquid layer of drunkenness.
So it has this thing called like State Street.
It's basically the city and the college intertwined.
So it's just like a hub of everything
and right by the capital is this really great comedy club that during school i would go and
watch shows yeah and now everyone because i joke like go badgers because i went there
and people who go to oh is this the mascot you fuck yes yes so i didn't go back i need to talk
to that fucking mascot i did not think think that story would become a thing.
Oh, my God.
That was so good.
So basically now people love Wisconsin so much.
You'll be in LA and someone has a Badgers shirt on.
You're like, go Badgers.
It's a weird passion.
So I want to play comedy on state.
But I also have to say, I've traveled random places like Kansas City, Buffalo.
Some of these random places you think would be shitholes all have like a really fun town to them. Like you find the right block that has like, yeah,
like the coffee shops and they have like cool. So like Buffalo, I had like a great time. Like,
so it's really the random places. I went to Nashville, which was pretty cool. I love Nashville.
It was the first time ever. And Des and I went and he does comedy with me sometimes. So it's
like an excuse to like travel
but we're like working.
So I've been lucky
to travel
and just kind of
do fun
I used to travel
for tennis
which was stressful
because I would like
go somewhere
and lose
and be like
I can never go back
to this place
but now I just perform
so it's been a much easier
travel situation for me.
So how do you prep
for shows?
Like do you write
all of your own jokes?
Does Des help you at all? Do you like have like friends that, you know, just like based on
experiences that you get stuff from? Good question. What's your process? So the way I first started,
I worked for Betches, which is where I first interviewed you. I was so nervous. You were one
of my first biggest interviews. And I remember you were wearing like the cutest crop top.
Me in a crop top? Yeah, that was so off brand for you, but it worked.
So basically I would write all these tweets for Betches.
Like I called it Betches Boot Camp.
Like I was writing like 80 tweets a week.
And then I started writing more that were like my voice,
which is like a little goofier and sillier and a little more like shock value.
And I started to be like, okay, I'm writing a lot about food
or I'm writing a lot about fuckboys or I'm writing a lot about fuckboys, or I'm writing a lot about, like, cuddling.
Then I realized, I'm like, I have jokes in this.
Like, they're either premises or they're, like, punchlines.
So I finally just started to put them together and just write it out.
And then you practice the 10 minutes all the time.
But I don't force, like, I need to write jokes.
I really do. Podcasting helps me a lot.
Like, for example, like, us talking, the whole the whole concept of like fucking with a baby is like fucking
with like a pet times 10.
Like that's just something I started saying.
I'm like, oh, that could be something.
Right.
So honestly, I can't fucking force funny.
I can't force creativity.
Yeah.
It's like right now if I'm like Sheena, write a song, you'd be like, eh.
Yeah.
Good as gold.
So you just have to, it's like manifesting.
Like, you know, when you broke up with an ex and you like think about them all the time it's like manifesting in a positive way where it's
like okay i'm writing funny shit keep an eye out all the time so i have a notepad and whenever i
think of anything i write it down and then you have to just get the balls to try the new joke
on stage you put it in between two jokes you're comfortable with so it won't like bomb yeah and
then with the audience i kind of write on stage so I'll like do the joke and then I'll kind of and that's talent like
to just do the improv and stuff like that yeah the improv it helps like they call it tags which
are little things like I have this joke about like people when they're having sex in movies
and they're just like ripping each other's clothes off right I was on stage and then I just go like
like I wear Zara it's fast fashion like that was just a off. I was on stage and then I just go like, like I wear Zara, it's fast fashion.
Like that was just a riff that I did one night and then I decided to keep it.
So it just, it's from just doing as much standup
as I can every night.
And it's honestly like helped my mental health
just to like, instead of being alone,
just like worrying about your shit,
just to like be working,
which is I'm working on my therapist
to feel my feelings also.
But it's given me a sense of purpose to, like, try to just make people laugh.
So speaking of podcasts, so you do yours, Burning in Hell.
You still have Giggly Squad.
Yes, of course.
And then what's going on with Call Her Daddy?
Because I swore you were going to be, like, the new co-host.
Y'all are so good together.
Thank you. How many episodes have
you done? We actually have a new one coming out next week. Yes. But Alex and I hit it off. But
it was because actually during quarantine, when she had her breakup with Sophia, I did an episode,
an opinion episode, but I didn't pick a side. I was like, this is a larger issue, issue between
like the media conglomerates and the talent, which like you understand where it starts to get weird where the talent now can
get its own following and like doesn't really need you.
But then they're like, no, but you got where you are because of us.
And it's like, I was like, this is just like a, things are evolving.
And she actually reached out to me and was like, hey,
I love Summer House and I listened to your podcast.
And I was like, what the fuck?
And she was like, I think we have similar like vibes and
she's like let's FaceTime so it's like almost like a like a first date like to see if we'd hit it off
and we're actually quite similar yeah and I just I'm in this new place where I just want to surround
myself with like powerful cool driven women yeah I love being inspired by people who are doing shit
that I like to be around and she's one of those people in my life who people say, like, I'm kind of bad with networking,
actually.
Like, I'm not really good at, like, social climbing or any of that stuff.
But when I hit it off with you, like, I hit it off with you.
I feel like you're like that, too.
Like, you're very consistent.
Like, you're always the same.
Like, Sheena's always this kind of friend where, like, I'm kind of like that, too.
Like, we're either great or, like, we're not hitting it off.
Right.
And when we're great, it's like, you don't know.
It's just a real ass friendship.
Yeah.
So you mentioned Summer House.
Yes.
Can we talk about Winter House?
I haven't watched it.
I haven't either.
But Paige and Sierra give me all the tea.
So I kind of know what's going on.
I was going to say, are you going to watch?
To be honest, it would give me PTSD.
Yeah.
And it is weird because it's something that I, like, was such a great part of my life.
To then, like, see it happening without me is so weird.
Right.
But it's like I'm so different than I was when I was 26 and single, and that shit was so fun for me.
Would you have wanted to do Winterhouse being where you're at in life right now, engaged and, like, with your comedy going so well? Like. Would you have wanted to do Winterhouse, being where you're at in life right now,
engaged and, like, with your comedy going so well,
like, would you have wanted to do that?
I don't think so.
Yeah.
I don't think it would have been a fit.
But, like, we were all cool.
Like, if it was a year before.
If I was single, yeah.
Totally.
But I just fell madly in love.
I love that.
The show isn't, like, Vanderpump.
The show is really, like, it's kind of like real world.
They just throw a bunch of people in.
It's like, who wants to fuck?
Who wants to fight?
That shit's fun when you have that chaotic energy, which we love on reality TV.
But when you're meeting someone, you have to have a whole different mindset when you
care about someone a lot.
Yeah.
And they're not following your life.
They're following when they lock you in a house,
what happens.
Right.
A lot of people had asked where you stand with Kyle and Amanda right now.
We haven't spoke since the reunion.
Wow.
Okay.
I mean, I did reach out, and they didn't respond.
Yeah.
And, you know, I'm at the point in my life where I'm like,
look, we did a great TV show together. Yeah. Like, you know, I'm at the point in my life where I'm like, look, we did a great TV show together.
Yeah.
Like, I really only have positive wishes for them.
So it's, like, kind of unfortunate that it was, like, when the show aired that things hit the fan.
Yeah.
Because I've only since day one won the best for their relationship.
And you'll never hear me say a bad word about their relationship.
I love that.
Let's talk about your relationship.
I just believe in karma.
Don't talk bad about people's relationships.
No, no. Because that shit goes full circle. Absolutely absolutely and no one has a perfect relationship so it's like
no no one should that's so true so wedding plans i'm so mad you haven't met des see and i feel
like i have but i haven't well yeah i'm like i'm with sheena and he's like and he's okay the sheena
girl you're always with and i've never seen her and i feel like i know him that's the thing with reality tv when you watch someone and then it's like i see, the Sheena girl you're always with, and I've never seen her. Yeah, because I feel like I know him. That's the thing with reality TV.
When you watch someone, and then it's like, I see him on your Instagram or your podcast.
What's funny is I know Brock before he was on TV.
So I'm kind of laughing when I hear people talk about Brock on TV.
Because I'm like, I know Brock before he was on TV.
Yeah, because Des was supposed to meet up with us a couple weeks ago.
And then that didn't happen.
Because it's funny.
He's doing the same thing as me.
Like, he's doing comedy in Ireland right now.
So we'll just call each other, like, how was your show?
My show was good.
How was your show?
So we don't really feel like we're missing out on anything.
Uh-huh.
But I feel like him and Brock will get along because Des loves Australia.
Like, he's lived in, like, Ireland, Australia, England.
So, like, they'll have, like, foreign, like, cultured boy talk.
You know what I mean? Love that. And we'll just be like, mm, Australia, England. So like they'll have like foreign, like cultured boy talk. You know what I mean?
Love that.
And we'll just be like,
we like alcohol.
Have you guys set a date?
Yes.
Oh my God.
I love that.
You're like so experienced
with the wedding stuff.
Like I need to be asking more questions.
Yeah.
May 2022.
Wedding number two.
I know.
Oh yeah.
Exciting.
We joke.
I was joking with Paige
that Des is like second
husband energy for me. And then I told
Des and Des was like, you're second wife energy
for me, bitch. Like, because he's 45
and I'm 30.
That's funny. But I feel like we really did
live our own lives beforehand and
gained real independence and security
in ourselves. And finally we're
just like, okay, I'm ready to have a partner in
my own life, if that
makes sense.
Because who knows what the fuck he was up to before, like traveling as a comic, like
being wild.
And finally, I think, I joke that he's a retired fuckboy.
He just got tired and was like, okay, let's lock this shit up.
Well, do you know that I'm not domesticated for shit, but I make money.
Yeah.
Katie.age wants to know if Paige is a bridesmaid or your maid of honor.
Okay, so I'm going to have a bachelorette party.
Uh-huh.
And, like, Paige will be there.
Sarah will be there.
It'll be a good cast crew.
I think I'm going to do it, like, simple life.
Yeah.
Where.
Wait, like, simple life?
I basically want to do it at, like, with, like, farm animals.
And, like, a cabin.
Not camping. I don't fuck with camping hold up i basically elaborate please i don't want these like bachelorette party where you just like party i'm
like we could do that anytime right i want to get them upstate new york in a cabin with farm animals
and we and we just like do weird shit please tell me you like vlog this it's for the content
okay i'm like but then
I was like do we need to make a movie about like bachelorette trips gone wrong then like wait that's
definitely been done before but the farm I just love animals yeah so my because I don't even like
drinking that much nowadays uh-huh um as I'm drinking we're doing a drinking and podcasting
and then my friend was like well if you animals, let's do it at a farm.
And I'm like, that is rowdy.
But anyway, I'm not going to have bridesmaids.
And Des isn't going to have groomsmen.
We're kind of simplifying it.
I'm not going to next time either.
I feel like it causes more drama and complications.
It's more like everyone at my wedding I fucking love.
And I don't want to rank it.
I don't want MySpace top eight, my friends know no I already did that too and I'm like
I mean if anything like I would maybe only want like my sister but then it's like but then Brock
has four siblings and I'm like if he because this is we're both divorced but he just kind of did
like a signed papers courthousing his first time around. So he's never had like an actual like big wedding.
So I'm like, if he really wanted groomsmen and all of the guys standing up there, then
okay.
If Greg wants the big wedding, I'll give it to him.
I will.
But ideally, I don't want that.
I've already like been there, done that.
There's something weird about like making them stand.
Like I know it's nice.
Like they're supportive.
But I feel like, yeah, you guys, you did that that you proved you're friends yeah like we all know that people
support you yeah life so like i don't know let them wear whatever the fuck they want and let's
party i agree yeah c s scotty 11 wants to know if you have any regrets from your last season
on summer house i mean the psychic i'm just kidding i feel like you know reality tv and i gave
it my all yeah and i hope that everyone was fucking entertained oh absolutely and that is
one thing that i will promise you is i will bring it my hunt my a game every time yeah whether it's
really funny or you think it's fucking crazy. It was I tried. Yeah.
Underscore Melinda Mary wants to know if you approve of Paige and Craig.
It's so funny. I haven't met them and I haven't I haven't been with them in person as a couple. OK. Because we've been like traveling and stuff. Yeah. We do Giggly Squad every week. I get all the tea.
I know everything's going. And I feel like at this point in her life, it's weird because I've like left the reality
TV game and somehow she's gotten like so much more into it.
When we were like, we were Bonnie and Clyde.
Like we were in it together.
So for me, I'm like, if you're going to be in on this, like it's great that you have
a guy who's also in it with you.
Totally.
It's so hard to date on reality TV with guys who aren't supportive of it and she's dealt with
that before so is it scary also to be on reality tv with a guy who wants to be on reality tv
it's it could but she knows yeah like there's love is so fucking complicated right and on tv
it's hard so i'm happy that she's with someone who supports her career yeah i agree and i do love
that bravo is finally like intertwining shows together.
Cause this was one of the things when like Nima and I were dating, I was like, but how is this
going to work? Like, I can't just be on Shaws of Sunset. Like you're not just going to like
come into Sir on Vanderpump Rules. Like this isn't going to work. Like they don't do crossovers.
Cause Bravo's all about like the reality of the situation. The reality of the situation is that
you guys are both in LA, you're seeing each other. It's all about the reality of the situation. The reality of the situation is that you guys are both in LA.
You're seeing each other. It's not like the
shows are two different universes.
And I also know that we've
all become friends, especially
the younger shows. I remember when
we first met and yeah, Vanderpump
did crossovers with us. So it kind
of made sense that Southern Charm. I love it.
I love it so much. And we all bond
over the crazy Bravo universe. I love it. I love it so much. And we all bond over like the crazy
Bravo universe. Yeah. I also remember during quarantine, Paige and I were doing our Giggly
Squad lives every fucking night. Yes, I remember. And Craig and Austin were doing Instagram lives
every fucking night. Yeah. But they would do like 4 p.m. to 10, just like reckless drinking. And we'd
do like 10 to 11. And they'd be like, how do you guys keep it up? And we're like,
we don't drink all fucking day. You guys are animals. But we had this and then we'd like go on there sometimes. But just the world is kind of small. And when it comes to, we're all crazy
in reality TV. So it makes sense. We're bonding. Totally. There was another question that came in.
I saw, I didn't screenshot it, so I can't shout out the person, but they wanted to know if other Bravo lebs are going to be invited to the wedding. Yeah. Will you guys film something for
the wedding that like, like, will you vlog it? Do you like a wedding video that like other people
can see? Are you going to keep it private? So far, we don't have any plans of like filming it.
As you know, that shit's wild. But you should get a videographer just for, even if it's just for
yourself to have those moments. We definitely have a videographer. Definitely. Even if it's just for yourself to have those moments.
We definitely have a videographer.
Yeah.
And I'm down.
Like, I think my friends, there's so many characters.
That'll be there.
Like, comedians, Bravo Leberties.
So, like, I think everyone should have a phone with their phone.
Yeah.
Like, we're content creators anyway.
I want everyone.
Dance moves, outfits, whatever.
It's also going to be on the ocean in West Hampton.
Oh.
Which is going to be,
like you can't really
fuck it up.
Yeah.
And it's funny
because at first I was like,
I want a garage wedding,
like some pizza,
whatever.
And now I'm like,
okay,
it's on the fucking ocean
and I want this
and I need that
and I want this
fucking huge ring.
So we've evolved.
Yeah.
But Des is like into it
and I'm happy.
I love that.
Yeah.
Oh.
And like Des is into marriage.
It just,
at first he was like, oh, I don't care. And now he has like all these opinions, which is really happy. I love that. I'm like, that's intimate. It just, at first he was like,
oh,
I don't care.
And now he has like all these opinions,
which is really funny.
I love that.
Yeah.
Well,
I love this.
I love,
love.
I love how much I've been able to see you this past week and we're going to continue
