Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:51 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.
Starting point is 00:00:59 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.
Starting point is 00:01:38 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?
Starting point is 00:02:04 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.
Starting point is 00:02:36 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.
Starting point is 00:02:56 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.
Starting point is 00:03:28 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
Starting point is 00:03:45 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.
Starting point is 00:03:57 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.
Starting point is 00:04:28 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,
Starting point is 00:04:48 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.
Starting point is 00:05:31 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.
Starting point is 00:06:01 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
Starting point is 00:06:40 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.
Starting point is 00:07:15 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.
Starting point is 00:07:49 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
Starting point is 00:08:25 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
Starting point is 00:08:34 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
Starting point is 00:08:42 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.
Starting point is 00:08:56 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.
Starting point is 00:09:08 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
Starting point is 00:09:30 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?
Starting point is 00:10:05 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.
Starting point is 00:10:19 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.
Starting point is 00:10:29 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.
Starting point is 00:10:42 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.
Starting point is 00:11:00 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.
Starting point is 00:11:08 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.
Starting point is 00:11:21 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,
Starting point is 00:11:36 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.
Starting point is 00:11:56 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.
Starting point is 00:12:09 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
Starting point is 00:12:34 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.
Starting point is 00:13:06 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.
Starting point is 00:13:12 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,
Starting point is 00:13:20 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.
Starting point is 00:13:35 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.
Starting point is 00:13:54 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
Starting point is 00:14:05 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.
Starting point is 00:14:40 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.
Starting point is 00:14:57 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.
Starting point is 00:15:19 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.
Starting point is 00:15:47 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
Starting point is 00:16:09 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.
Starting point is 00:16:34 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,
Starting point is 00:16:54 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
Starting point is 00:17:12 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.
Starting point is 00:17:43 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
Starting point is 00:18:21 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.
Starting point is 00:19:09 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.
Starting point is 00:19:21 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
Starting point is 00:20:05 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
Starting point is 00:20:54 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
Starting point is 00:21:22 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.
Starting point is 00:21:46 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
Starting point is 00:22:16 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.
Starting point is 00:22:48 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.
Starting point is 00:23:02 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
Starting point is 00:23:44 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
Starting point is 00:24:19 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.
Starting point is 00:24:48 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.
Starting point is 00:24:59 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.
Starting point is 00:25:21 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.
Starting point is 00:25:48 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,
Starting point is 00:26:15 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
Starting point is 00:26:30 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
Starting point is 00:26:35 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?
Starting point is 00:26:44 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.
Starting point is 00:27:13 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.
Starting point is 00:27:38 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.
Starting point is 00:27:55 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
Starting point is 00:28:14 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.
Starting point is 00:28:49 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.
Starting point is 00:29:02 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
Starting point is 00:29:26 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,
Starting point is 00:29:58 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.
Starting point is 00:30:28 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.
Starting point is 00:30:44 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.
Starting point is 00:30:56 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.
Starting point is 00:31:16 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.
Starting point is 00:31:35 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.
Starting point is 00:31:49 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,
Starting point is 00:32:06 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.
Starting point is 00:32:21 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.
Starting point is 00:32:39 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.
Starting point is 00:33:06 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.
Starting point is 00:33:26 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.
Starting point is 00:33:42 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.
Starting point is 00:33:53 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.
Starting point is 00:34:01 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
Starting point is 00:34:12 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.
Starting point is 00:34:26 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.
Starting point is 00:34:49 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?
Starting point is 00:34:58 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
Starting point is 00:35:35 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.
Starting point is 00:36:00 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.
Starting point is 00:36:32 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
Starting point is 00:36:48 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.
Starting point is 00:37:41 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
Starting point is 00:38:05 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
Starting point is 00:38:44 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
Starting point is 00:38:59 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
Starting point is 00:39:34 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.
Starting point is 00:40:07 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.
Starting point is 00:40:19 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
Starting point is 00:40:28 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
Starting point is 00:40:35 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.
Starting point is 00:40:41 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,
Starting point is 00:40:47 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
