Because we're good as gold. Because we're good as gold. And we are live. Rolling. Back in Palm Springs. Well, not back in.

I guess I've been in Palm Springs for a few weeks. Have not been back to LA to the studio. But I'm thinking next week, I'm going to get back in the studio. Hopefully, Jasmine is available because I really want to get her back on my podcast. But for tonight, we're doing a very fun drinking and podcasting episode with Jamie Lynn co-hosting. And our guests are my two best friends from high school and y'all we've known each other since the 90s that's how old we are oh yeah 20 years uh yes freshman year was 98 99 wow so a little over 20 years 20 years yes so we've got that jello bowl here was a jello

adrienne and Michelle here. They are eating the rest of the Jell-O leftover from the 4th of July. She thinks we're that old, so we have to have our granny dessert. It's not just Jell-O. It's Jell-O shots, but more like a Jell-O bowl. It's delicious. Mixed with Malibu rum. Yum, yum.

Janky. They're really, really enjoying it. I wish you guys could see this. Yeah. So they're drinking and also eating their alcohol. We're eating and drinking our alcohol. And podcasting, yes. Yes, eating, drinking while podcasting.

It is tough. We got a bunch of fun questions sent in from you guys that we're going to get into. But first, my sister and I came up with some fun topics. So I want to know, because obviously I think the past 10 years of smoking weed has fried the majority of my long-term memory. So I don't remember exactly the moment when we met. Do you guys? Oh, I do. I do too. Okay. Michelle, you go first. Okay. Mine's not as cool or it's not, you know, anything fun, but so we were in, um, one of our classes, I think it must've been, was it Mr. Perry? Uh, science. Yeah. It was science class. And I'm

sitting there and Sheena writes me a note and we always write notes, you know, in class, she writes me a note and I think she liked my lip gloss. So she sends me a note and she goes, what's your, what are you wearing on your lips? And I'm like, I'm like, who the hell is this? Oh, okay. And I knew her, but I didn't like, we weren't like friends, but I knew who she was. So I wrote back. I'm like, Oh, it's like a lip gloss from, I forget where, probably like wet and wild, some like ghetto lipstick or lip gloss. So I sent it back to you and then you're like, Oh, it looks really pretty on you. And you're like super nice. So I was like, Oh, okay. Okay. Cause like a lot of girls, like, you know, in high school, you don't know if they're going to be nice or like a bitch, you know? So I was kind of like nervous and I didn't, I was really shy. So I didn't really

like go out of my way to talk to people. So the fact that she like, you know, was being nice about it. I'm like, Oh, that's cool. So then after that, we kind of started like just talking more and then her boyfriend and my boyfriend used to be, well, her boyfriend, her and her boyfriend were together. And then his, his friend liked me. And then Sheena was like, oh, my friend, my, my boyfriend's friend. Did we get a jingle ball together? Yes. We saw Christina Aguilera. Yes. When she was all like petite and little. Yeah. I remember that. So there are friends and we, um, yeah, that's how we met. She's like, I want, let's do on a double date.

And I'm like, okay, cool. And that's since sophomore year. Yeah. So crazy. So I had a boyfriend who I low-key stalked, high-key stalked. Oh, wow. For like eight years. Sheena, really?

Literally. Oh, my God. Literally. She was obsessed you guys he was handsome he was a handsome yeah he was good looking so he was a senior yeah and we were yeah well he was a we started dating the end of freshman year was when we started talking because it was over that summer right but you guys are two years apart right yeah freshman and junior yes but i didn't want him to know how old I was because I skipped a grade. So I was 13 my whole freshman year.

And I didn't want guys to know I was only 13. Not like 14 was that much older, but there was just something about 14. You've been a teen for, you know? Yeah. So when I started high school in 98, I had just turned 13 a few months before. And I didn't want anyone to know. So I lied to him. And then that summer for my 14th birthday, he found out like how old I was and was like so pissed and like wanted to break up with me. But I was like, we're already together.

You already told me you loved me. Like who cares if I'm 14 or 15, but he thought I was about to get my permit. But instead, I was like, no, that's us next year. Anyways, he was like one of the cutest guys in school. And I remember like I found out. This is so creepy. I'm admitting this. Oh, my God. But you know what?

I've been boy crazy since the beginning. It is so true. It's very true. Since I've known her. 1,000%. Okay. So you know what? I'm owning it. So I found out his schedule. I would then make sure to be in the same wing when he got out of class so I could just casually bump into him so he would notice me. Wait, asking for a friend. That's not normal. Did you do that too? When you were 13? See? When you were 13, you did that.

Well, I wasn't in high school at 13. I wasn't like the genius like she is. Eighth grade? No, in high school. Like in high school, your freshman year, you already knew like, oh, I'm going to do this. I'm going to pull this act real quick. And this is going to happen. As a freshman, I would know the schedule of the guy I was dating.

Okay, see? So it's not crazy. I would know what classes of the guy I was dating okay see so it's not crazy what classes he was in that's that's crazy and I would put myself in the situations where he was coming out of a specific class or wing or wherever he was I think you yeah is that are we both crazy okay we're 50 50 I'm gonna eat my jello go ahead I'm with her on that I also lied about my age to a guy except he can never speak to me again or else he would be arrested because I was 15 and he was 18. Oh, for sure. And I lied and I said I was older. And he's like, wait a minute. I can get in big trouble.

So Paul was only he was 16. I mean, it wasn't like he was over 18 that's true but yeah so my plan worked because he noticed me we started dating and we were together for seven years literally all of high school every freaking dance I went to same person different dress same person different dress different year different winter formal it was real exciting season and it's like you know looking back do I wish I expand my horizons a little more sure but I thought he was my forever and we were gonna be the high school sweethearts who whatever anyways college came around freshman year I broke up with him and then he just got like really crazy not to get into details but I kind of felt obligated to get back with him so he didn't do something stupid and then a senior year we it was senior year of college is October 2005

we go to lunch at claim jumper I was like in between classes and We go to lunch at claim jumper. I was like in between classes and we go to lunch. And I was telling him that I had a photo shoot set up because I wanted to be an actress. And when I graduated college, I was going to move to LA. That was my plan. His plan was to be a firefighter paramedic and to have me as the stay at home mom. And anyone who knows me knows I will never be a stay-at-home mom. So that was not going to fly for me. Nope. And he was like, literally,

if you go through with this photo shoot, we're done. I'm breaking up with you. I was like, well, the photo shoot's on Tuesday. So you want to break up with me now or break up with me then? Sounds about right. He put 20 bucks on the table, which did not cover the bill, by the way.

Got up, left me at the restaurant by myself. Our food hasn't even come out yet. All the food comes out and the server was like, uh, is he in the bathroom? And I was like, oh, he's actually, he's a paramedic. He just got called on a call. I was like, bag it all up to go. So he bags it up to go. I go, I go.

I remember like sitting down with my dad out back. And we ate all the food. It was like awesome food. And he was like actually like happy that this was like finally over. Because he just, as a dad, you know, those parents, they have those feelings. And he just saw that I wasn't happy anymore. And he wanted more for me. So he broke up with me. We never

have seen each other since. Like I never ran into him again. We talked like several years later, he emailed me on like my sjankin at not going to say what.com email. That's your old school. Oh, I have an original. Let me send you an email. Oh, I know. Let me send you an email. Oh, I know.

TV show works. So he said he had like a bad dream about me and wanted to make sure I was okay. And I wasn't. And I was like, you know what? Let's get together. It's been years. And he was like, I can't. I can't. It was so weird.

And whatever. But after he broke up with me, boy crazy, she went and slept with the baseball player I had a crush on. So senior year ended up turning out pretty good. And then I moved to LA, got my job. And then, you know, John Mayer and a few people later. And here I am. Great.

Adrienne, how did you meet Sheena? That was my Sheena meeting story. That's a whole lot more than that. I just realized I'm like, I have been boy crazy since day one. Like, I full on stalked him. You've always been, girl. You've always been. The problem might have been was that stalking was successful for you.

So you got, I do it all the time. So she got that taste. I always got what I wanted. She get a little taste. See, that's what I'm saying. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Yeah.

So, Adri, how did we meet? Oh. Well, Adri and I, our families go way back. But we didn't know this until we met. So the one beautiful thing I have to say about this, because I was in the pickle, a little pickle jam as a freshman. And I was around now and Nicole, the little twin. We had identical twin friends. Yes.

And I had a class with Nicole and Natalie at different periods and have them with Sheena as a freshman. And they're like, oh, well, you live in Azusa. We know a girl that lives in Azusa. And oh, yeah, she lives over here, blah, blah, blah. So I went after school with them, followed them outside to like they're going to catch a ride or go home. We all had to kind of fetch our own rides at this point in time.

You know, like we're old enough. Either you're in sports, you're sitting after school or you're getting a ride or you're figuring it out. And our school was like 25 minutes from Azusa. So it was like we had to commute to Catholic high school by the way. We went to Bishop Amant Memorial

High School. Everyone like commuted. We're division one, all sports. So everyone wanted to be there. And there was baseball we're Division I, all sports, so everyone wanted to be there and there was baseball players, football players, basketball players from everywhere.

So, Sheena and I, well, I found out I was from Azusa and the girls, twins, that I was talking to freshman year,

they're like, oh, we know a girl that's from Azusa too. I'm like, really? No way. Who?

So then here comes Sheena's after school freshman year. She's like, hey, yeah, hey, I'm Sheena's after school freshman year she's like hey yeah hey I'm Sheena I'm like all right hey I'm Adri you're like all right cool she's like where do you live and I told her she's like my mom would give you a ride home I was like no I doubt that I don't get in cars with strangers no no yeah like I really my dad was like he's on his way like my dad was super overprotective like on his way gonna pick me up whatever but she's like, he's on his way. Like, my dad was super overprotective, like, on his way, going to pick me up, whatever. But she's like, no, I live, I pass your house. Literally.

Literally pass your house. I can take you home. I was like, um, okay. And it meant so much to my dad, who was a salesman, so he was always all over the place. Always made sure he had to come back to La Puente to pick me up and take me home. So I called my dad. I was like, or text page my dad probably even. I said, dad, call me, have a ride. And he called me, who's taking you home? Who is this person?

I was like, dad, it's this person. She lives in Azusa. She's cool. You can meet her later. She said that her and her mom said they'll meet you. And cause that's how young we were. And we're very innocent. So my dad was like, I want to meet her. We were. And her mom was like, I want to meet her. I want to meet him. I want to meet the parents. So Sheena's mom ended up taking me home.

And my dad met from wherever he came from, met us at my parents' house. And that's how they first met. And that's how they all realized. I think Sheena's mom went home and told her dad about who the man she met yeah and then that's when their her dad was like his name is what Ron I work with Ron but yeah both of our dad's names Ron both their dad's names Ron yeah he was like there's no way there's no way that he has a daughter same age as my daughter they're the same no no no no so this went on for a

little bit but we that was like the first time so they met each other Erica Sheena's mom and my dad met each other the first time and then after that they're like oh you're all from Azusa so then Azusa people became more like carpoolish like all right we're all gonna carpool go back together come home together whatever and then on, that's when it all came together. But turns out our family, Sheena and I, we're from Azusa. So our families are very known from way, my mom and her uncle went to the same high school. Yeah. And then they went to the same church. Yeah. Same church. Grandparents are actually my, like my aunt's godparents. Like, and my aunt grew up at her, her grandparents' house growing up. Yeah. Like at the pool, like the house that my parents

live in now, like she grew up going to that pool. That's amazing. So our families were already intertwined because they were all from Azusa, but they had no idea that we would run into each other, you know, and be like, and it wasn't even not only us being friends, and then it was her dad and my dad working together. Being friends, yeah. That they were like, oh, my God, our daughters are friends? And what the heck?

And that's how it all had ever since then. They're like, oh, great. They're like, oh, yeah, here we go. And honestly, ever since then, like, I always had a ride home. Yeah. That's so cute. And Sheena could stay at my house and Sheena was not allowed to stay at anyone else's house

no like my parents were pretty strict they were like a crazy curfew maybe one time sleeping at my house no she was not allowed maybe senior year but everyone else slept at my house but you I don't remember I would sleep at your house but

we could sleep at Sheena's house but She Sheena was not allowed to sleep anywhere else. But my house, she was allowed to. Maybe like one time. And then we find out come March that not only are dads both named Ron working at the same company, they have the exact same birthday, March 15th. Wow. So crazy. Same birthday, same name.

We're like, what the heck? How big is Azusa or Azusa? Azusa. Azusa. They have everything from A to Z in the USA. Okay. How many people live there? Is it a small town?

Is it big? That's not a big thing. Because, like, how did you guys not meet before high school? What's the population of Azusa, California? Well, I went to a private school out of Azusa. I went to a school in Alhambra because that's where I grew up. But then I was already living in Azusa. About 50,000.

Okay. It's not a small. It's not small, but it's not big. Right. So we just never met because we didn't go to the same schools. Like I grew up in Alhambra. So I stayed, my parents kept me there until I went to Bishop. Yeah.

And then I went to public school, elementary and junior high. Me too. Where I was severely bullied. Is that why you went to public school, elementary and junior high. Me too. Where I was severely bullied. Is that why you went to private school? Yeah. Okay. Literally, eighth grade was the absolute worst year of my entire life. I never knew this.

What junior high or elementary? Center. There were me. I went to center middle school. Center? It's right there in Azusa. It's right by where my parents live. Okay, I never knew that.

And then the elementary school I went to was Murray, which is right over the and it was all public and they were like all public pretty mean so why don't they like you what were they what were they because i was half white literally it was hispanic everyone was hispanic and because i was half white and i also had my mom's maiden name so no one even believed that i was half mexican and you know like my whole family's white i didn't know that until like after we graduated that you were part mexican at all because i just always thought you were she was because that's because her last name you know i just figured that she was sheena janken yeah janken janken totally you know yeah but so yeah like i would get bullied so bad or like the guy that one of

the chola girls liked liked me and i was like the cute white girl so then that's what turned me into the chola looking that we all know we all know in love yes you guys that's what started out there literally it was her picture i did that to fit in. But like I would get in trouble for wearing makeup. So I would have to go to school early and lie and say like I had a yearbook meeting. And I would have to go get there at like 6 or 7 a.m. Make sure my eyebrows were drawn on. My lip liner was done and all this.

And I will, you know, just for the sake of this podcast and flashbacks, post a photo of me from junior high. Yeah, do it, do it, do it. Where y'all can also see that I was starting the trends that the Kardashians are doing now. I had the two pieces coming down. I had the nails. I had it all when I was 12, okay? Oh, man. Although they grew up in L.A. around the same time, too.

So it was just, it was the times, you know? It was, it was the times. But I've been doing this shit for over 25 years so yeah literally eighth grade was the absolute worst year my entire life like I would get like death threats sent in when they would come in to like drop off like the teacher's aid notes like they would like drop notes on my desk and it would be like yeah it would be a picture of like a grave drawn saying like RIP and like my name on it. It was, I was terrified after school every day that I was going to get in a fight. I got suspended because this girl tried to start a fight with me. Then me straight

A student gets suspended. It was awful. So on the last day of eighth grade, after I graduated with honors, I kicked her ass. Only fight I've ever been in. Yeah. Sheena has always been on top of her grades. Always top of like really, really on top of it. Ever since I've known her, even throughout high school, she was still on top of her grades. I remember one time my, um, so my friend Gina, you know, who passed away, she was the only person who was nice to me in junior high, but we went to separate schools so she could never have my back cause she went to Foothill and I went to center. But I remember there was one sleepover for whatever reason, she couldn't come to it. And that night at my friend's house, they were threatening that if

I went to sleep, they were going to chop off my hair. So I had to stay awake all night and they were pouring like salsa, like in my like backpack and like throwing shit at me. And I couldn't call my mom and like be a pussy and be like, can you come pick me up? So I literally sat up all night and didn't sleep a wink until like 7am. And then I called my mom and was like, oh, I just woke up really early. Like, can you come pick me up? Because I don't, and I never said anything. My mom had just had a miscarriage before she had my sister. I've just always been the person where I'm like, I'm just going to deal with my shit on my own. Even 11, 12 years old. I didn't want to tell them what was going on because like my mom just lost a baby. She was dealing with that. I

didn't want her to be stressed out about me and that gave her anxiety. And then she's pregnant again. And then she loses the baby because of stuff going on with me. So I just didn't say anything. And then after I graduated high school, I was like, so you want to know what happened on the day I graduated eighth grade? It all comes out. What was your reaction when you told her? She was so sad. Even to this day, she's just like, I had no idea, but she knew that I couldn't go to public school for high school. They knew that there was something off enough that I needed to be put somewhere else. And I was like, at the time, I'm like, I'm not wearing uniforms. I'm going to flunk the test.

Like, I don't want to go to private school. And it was literally the best thing that ever happened to me in my life. That school literally changed my life. I have friends of over 20 years and it was going to that school. It was crazy. I begged my parents to send me to private school in high school because I have a very similar situation that happened to me, but it didn't happen in eighth grade. It happened when I got into high school because I grew up in a small town. It was like 10,000 people and it was all white pretty much. Okay. So then our high school was a regional high school. So there were

four towns that went there and all of a sudden I became a minority and they didn't prep us for this. And they kind of just threw us into this situation where it became a very diverse, um, situation, which ultimately is an amazing thing to get to know people of all kinds of ethnicities. And I kind of, I've looked at it that way and I was ready to embrace it. And then being a white girl and having, you know, Dominican or black guys or any, anything other than white guys liking me, a lot of females then hated me. And it's, you know, same thing that happened to you. And I would, I would go around like corners in my high school and I'm like, am I going to get a knife pulled on me?

Every day, like I thought I was going to get into a fight. There were certain doors, the white people weren't allowed to like walk out of even. Oh my God. Yeah. Like there were like, they were assigned, and this was like a while ago. I really hope it's not like this anymore, but like there were certain doors where like, if you weren't, there was a lot of Dominicans, so if you weren't Dominican, you couldn't go through these specific doors. I'm sorry, what city or what area? She's from Jersey.

Yeah, North Jersey. Hackensack High School. All right, yeah. Did you say Hackensack? Like Hacky Sack? Hackensack. Sounds like Hacky Sack. I played Hacky Sack too. She did hacky sack. I played hacky sack too.

She did it for a second. But there were no hippie activities, unfortunately, going on for me in high school. That sounds awful. Long story short, I begged my parents to send me to private school and they wouldn't. Ultimately, it ended up working out for me. I dropped out of high school. But no, it was a good thing. I dropped out in my senior year, but prior to that,

I learned how to actually, you know, stand up to the bullies. And a lot of times they just need you to stand up to them and you need to show them that you're not afraid. And then you earn their respect. And like in Jersey, it's kind of like a respect thing where it's like, if you're not afraid, then you become cool and people will become your friend. And then after that, I was able to be friends with everybody and I had a decent high school experience. I dropped out for other reasons just because I cut a lot. And like, um, senior year came around and they were like, you're gonna have to repeat a grade. And I'm like, no, I'm not. I'll just get my GED and I'll go, I'll go to college on time with everyone else. And that's what I did. So high school is not the best subject,

but kids are really, really mean. I just so mean, one of my little cousins, she has like literally ate lunch, like in the bathroom by herself. I hate to think of that, you know, and it comes down to the teachers and the parents. Like, obviously it's the parents responsibility to teach their children from the beginning that this behavior is just disgusting. But I've, I have seen so many teachers just overlook it. They know what's going on. And for whatever reason, they don't want to get involved. And I think things are changing. I hope things are changing a little bit where kids are now being taught. It's okay to go stand up for your friend. It's

okay to go tell an adult what's happening. Back when I was growing up, it was like, you're ratting people out. You don't rat people out. Just like with you, like you didn't want to tell your mom. You didn't want to like have her come pick you up. You don't want to tell her what happened. It was different back then in that regard. I'm so glad that that's changed. If we had social media then on top of that, I remember, oh my God. So I had a pager in high school or in high school, but also in junior high. So did I. I got my pager and they would literally, it would be 013403, die ho. Or I would get like 187. Oh, I would get 143.

Oh yeah. Fuck you. Die. Oh, I love you. Not. No, I would get die ho. And then like the cop codes for like death and like that shit in the middle of the night, like on my pager, it would wake me up, like die.

And I'm like, I was terrified for my life in junior high. And it wasn't like we grew up in like a bad area, but there were gangs and churros. Back then there were. It wasn't the best area. It wasn't the best area. No, it definitely wasn't. No, it wasn't. But it it wasn't the best area no it definitely wasn't but it was inevitable especially

exactly I feel like if you're already suppressed or like not you're suppressed but you're already around that kind of

atmosphere yeah like you're prone to it uh huh like to you that's like alright that's just what I'm going through

or it's what I'm supposed to go through because it's what I see well that's good at least like your parents knew that you need to get out of it and go to private school and get a different environment around you.

Okay. On to more fun things in high school. Ah, depressing. I know, right? I know. Ouch. These are the things that I do like talking about because it's relatable. And I was saying this to my sister the other day because she was never bullied or anything like that. And she she asked me she's like

well it's not like that like still affects you right and I was like no honestly it does like even with like you know when Stassi or Lala have been like bitches to me I'm like I'm still gonna be the nice person I don't want to fight back but I'm like that shit has carried over even in my mid-30s like it still does affect me and she was like oh my god I'm so sorry like I didn't realize that and I was like yeah kids are assholes and that has stayed with me but then it's like you know I see them on Facebook and I'm like oh look at you and yeah but anyways to all you people out there who bullied me in junior high. Fuck you. Suck it. Yeah. Be nice. Dang it, be nice. Seriously.

Do better, people. Be kind. Chill out. Okay, so what would you say was one of your most embarrassing moments from high school? Adrian, you're up.

Really? What the hell? Or one of us. From high school. Adrienne, you're up. Really? Really? What the hell? Or one of us. All right. Embarrassing moments of high school. I really had to think about this. What did you get in trouble for the most? Because I remember mine was definitely rolling up my skirt.

So because we wore uniforms, the skirts were you got me now you got me going we're supposed to like have your arms down and it had to like go to the middle finger like when your arms are down that's how long your skirt was supposed to be yeah but we always rolled ours way up for sure adri didn't even wear anything under her skirt i remember i was like adri the girls lockers are on top the boys lockers are on the bottom what are you doing so

me and Sheena I had long legs this is a funny story so me and Sheena had the awesome idea I don't know braiding our hair yes

we did oh like should I even talk about it okay braiding our hair and she's like oh my god my friend can do it

Christina Aguilera had just like she had the braids and dirty yeah yes we were all about christina aguilera we were in dance class together in west covina me you and adri yeah we love christina aguilera so her she's like my friend can do our braids at my house come to my house in Azusa I'm like I'm down so we do our braids and then we get to high school and then the um who was it the dean the dean comes over to us and she goes you can't have your hair like that but it was only you I didn't get in trouble of course she didn't because my hair guess what no I'm kidding my hair at the time was blonde yours was more brunette and you had blonde strands in it and they said yours was too unnatural anyway i was fully braided out so she goes hey look you can't have those and you take

them out and i paid a lot of money for that a lot of hours too were put into that shit i was gonna say seven eight i was like eight both of you girls were there all day long. I remember taking you guys ice cream to be like, are you cool? And so like when the next one left and we come back and get that one. So this is like maybe on a Thursday. Sadie Hawkins was on a Saturday. So I was like, you know, I'm just going to skip Friday. And I show up to Sadie Hawkins with my braids. And she has her braids.

I'm like, bitch, you get in trouble. I get in trouble, but I go and I rock my braids, take pictures in my braids and Sadie Hawkins is like, I paid good money for this. I'm going to get some pictures. And she sees me at Sadie Hawkins like, I totally take those out. And I was like, oh, I'm taking them out tomorrow. She's like going to kick my butt.

But I was like, whatever. Oh my god Yeah Remember that Yep And then I remember They were cornrows y'all They were cornrows

No they were not They were full braids Okay Braids Braids It started from the top And it was like all braids We had like 200 braids

It was dope But look it It was beautiful And they had extensions in them I know It was beautiful It was bomb It was bomb

But she was hating on us They were like cornrows Braids Like coming all down though From the top All the way down. Their whole head. They were glorious.

Not just a little portion. I was so pumped. And then when she told me to take them out when I first got them, I was so mad. Even my parents weren't even mad about it. No, I think I only had mine in for like a week. But yeah, I remember how heavy they were. Did they start itching? Yeah.

Well, and then when I had to take them out, like I remember just how much hair was coming out when I washed it. But I was like, it's because your hair naturally sheds a little bit each day, but when it was braided, it didn't. But, um, I think Kim Kardashian's done braids like that a couple of times. I got some pictures out of it. I do. I need to find that box of pictures. It's probably in storage, but I know I have it. Oh, I have it. But I don't like your fan. Do you? Yes, I do. I have them. I did not throw away your guys' pictures. but I know I have a Sadie Hawkinson jersey. Oh, I have it if you don't have it. I'll pull it out. Do you? Yes, I do.

I have them. I did not throw away your guys' pictures. No, and I have them too. I just think they're in storage, and I don't know in which box in storage. I have the pictures. Yeah, so we— That's my most memorable or embarrassing picture. I remember when I got my nose pierced after school.

It was senior year. I was 17. So we went to Hacienda Heights or somewhere at this like little like swap meet. And I got my nose pierced with an ear piercing gun because we weren't 18. So we couldn't get it done like at a tattoo shop. And so I went and they shot an ear piercing gun I drew like I put a dot like a sharpie dot on my nose where I wanted them to pierce it and they shot it but then at school you're not allowed to have facial piercings I got in trouble and so I had

to take it out and put a piece of fishing wire in to keep the hole open I remember that it got so infected and then at senior prom I just avoided the teachers like the hole open. I remember that. It got so infected. And then at senior prom, I just avoided the teachers like the fucking plague. Because I was like, I'm keeping this in for my photos. Exactly. Like, what the hell? I did it for a reason. They were so strict on us. Seriously. Any little thing.

Even when I was in undergarments. The way we were dancing, our dresses, our skirts, like if it was like cut high. Every little thing. They were like mad. Yeah. And they knew who would always disobey. I had to watch TV on the dance floor. I was like, what are you going to do, report to my mom again?

Oh, my God. They had me down to the T. Did you like that you didn't have to get up every morning and try to figure out an outfit? Or did you wish that you didn't? I ended up loving that. Yeah. But it was all about the shoes and the accessories for sure so like clueless came out in what 96 so we're in high school 98 99 but still the knee highs that was like knee highs almost

every day favorite thing and i wore the big the big old heel yeah we wore everything to like we had actually like three or four skirts yeah and then the colors were different they're green i had five so yeah i think i remember all of them there was a blue one a gray one a khaki one a green plaid and then the blue and white like little itty bitty checker one and the guys and the guys kind of like them yeah oh they love them i think really a little bit i think brittany spirits came out with the schoolgirl ponytails. They were like, oh yeah, girls. They actually did not mind it. I thought I was Britney Spears. Do you remember that pep rally? We all remember. This is Britney, bitch. When Oops, I Did It Again came out, we had like a free dress day. It was a pep week. Yeah. And I read latex. I did the spandex.

No, swear. Pointe tail and all. She had everything. The mic, pointe tail, whatever. We're on like the track. Yeah, we're part of the Pep Squad. I have those photos somewhere too. And I had the choreography. I lip

singed. Yeah. I was obsessed with Britney. She was moving the crowd. I look likeced. Yeah. Oh my God. I was obsessed with Britney. She was moving the crowd. I wish I could be. I look like Britney Spears. I'm like, but. No,

people literally, kids would come up to me at restaurants and ask me for my autograph. Like I felt bad saying I wasn't her. So I just got her autograph down. Oh my God. Literally people used to think that I was her. That's funny.

I wish I could be friends with Brittany now. I just want to give her a hug and make everything okay. Maybe you can just reach out to someone and help her out. It's sad. So, Jamie, because I know you're a big emo girl. Yes. What was the music you listened to in the late 90s, early 2000s? I didn't get into emo until early 2000s um after I had my heart

ripped out of my chest I remember Natalie and Nicole had us listen like MXPX yeah so who was your emo um band that you listened to um my favorite is Dashboard Confessional Oh, yes. We know them. We know them. Yes, we know all that. Go ahead. Taking Back Sunday. Yep. Oh, yeah. Brand new. I was never really into Brand New. Yeah. I don't think I know them.

Taking Back Sunday. And Dashboard. Yes, sure. Absolutely. That was so emo. Absolutely. So Brand New is amazing. And unfortunately, they were canceled.

Not unfortunately, but Jessie, the lead singer singer requested photos from some underage girls. And ever since that scandal came out, brand new has been canceled, but they're just like, we're talking about emo. Why are we depressed? But now let's get back to high school. All right. Let's see what else I had. Oh, favorite brand of things that aren't around anymore. One thing that came up to mind when my sister said this. Do you remember Furby's? Did you have one? No.

What? Did you? No, my sister did. Oh my God. I remember those. I'm an older. Maybe that was more. Mind you.

And maybe that was more. I never liked her. It's not like it's not like I missed those. I'm an older millennial to remind you. Maybe that was more my sister. It's not like I missed it. I think we were too young for that. Like nanopets and Tamagotchis. Nano is different. Yeah, nano is different. You can like feed them and put them to bed. They're like your little friend.

It's like a little pet. Right, right, right. That was cool. Like a new age Polly Puckett. I remember having a Furby. And then what was the other ones that were kind of cool? Remember the ones that you slap on your wrist? Oh, yeah.

And then the Pogs or Pogs? Pogs. Oh, my God. And the Slammers. I had such a big collection of those. I have no idea where they went. They're probably in my parents' garage somewhere. I had like the Undertaker Slammer.

He had his face on there. It was black and purple. It was so awesome. Oh my God. Did you ever play Pogs on the East Coast? Was that a thing there? No. I mean, it might've been a thing,

but you guys were playing with toys in high school? When we were like 10. No, it wasn't with toys. No, no, no. When we were little. They're like games. Yeah, it was like these little circle, like cardboard things that had like really cool

whatever's on it, like different collector's items like really cool whatever's on it like different collector's items kind of like no i i think my younger um cousins had them but i yeah i don't think yeah so you stack them up and then you have this big thing it was called the slammer and it was really big and you would slam them and you would see how many flipped over and that's how many you'd get oh you kept them yeah you'd like, you'd like trade. That was fun. Oh my God. I remember some of like, I can vividly picture some of the pogs I had. And they had the little bear.

Teddy Ruxpin. Ruxpin. Teddy Ruxpin. Was that a real thing? I thought that was just in the movie. No, it was real. Oh, I don't remember that. I was actually on Amazon.

I was watching a special. It was like 80s. So I guess we're moving from the 90s to the 80s real quick. Oh, I'm sorry. Childhood. They were replaying all the commercials that you would watch when, like, did you guys watch, like, Saturday morning cartoons? Yeah. And then remember all the awesome commercials

for all the toys? So there's a special on right now on Amazon Prime with all the 80s commercials. Oh, that's cool. And I was watching it, like, for nostalgia sake, and, like, they had Teddy Rock spin, and then a lot of, like, the one that used to glow. Oh my god. Oh the glow worm.

Glow worm. Yes glow worm. I think those started setting on fire and they had to continue. Do you guys remember Are You Afraid of the Dark? Yes. I used to love that show. Oh those shows Are You Afraid of the Dark? All that. All those books. What are those?

And then Goosebumps. Goosebumps. Goosebumps. Goosebumps. And then what was the one? Hey Dude. Oh my God. Yeah. That was all like on Nickelodeon.

Yeah. Like Disney Channel. Amanda Bynes. That's me. She was so sweet. She knows. We were talking about Britney Spears. I know.

It keeps going dark. Sorry. I'm going to cry. Sorry. Anyways, I want to get into some of your questions. I know it keeps going dark. Sorry. I'm going to cry. Sorry. Anyways, um, I want to get into some of your questions, but before I do,

I had made a note. You mentioned parrot Bay earlier. And I was going to say, did you drink Boone's farm when you were in high school? I didn't drink in high school, but my friends all drank that. I didn't either. I was always the driver.

These two were the drinkers. Okay. Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute. I barely drank in high school let me i got drunk on my ties like once i begged to differ yeah we honestly did not get away with all of that yet it took senior year when we finally we really only hung out we only really partied like the most like senior year we did anyways yes i have a bad experience with parrots uh parrot bay with with janine i'll say it wasn't with me because i still like parents so i we no i think it was a lilia and janine yeah did you guys have like 40s out here like oldies

oh my my tart lemonade I so love it Mike Tart Lemonade Mike Tart Lemonade remember Tom's Boone's Farm a couple years ago hip nodded cases of Zima oh my god Zima Zima yes that's a little bit younger

for us but yes it was right before Mike Tart Lemonade and um uh Smirnoff's came out yeah

my grandma I remember used to have Zimas in the fridge so somehow Tom Sandoval had a birthday party a couple years ago at the roller rink

I think it was like with Jax and they were able they were able to get cases of it so it's still being made Somehow, Tom Sandoval had a birthday party a couple years ago at the roller rink. I think it was like with Jax. And they had V-Mod. And they were able to get cases of it. So it's still being made somehow. I don't know how they did this. That's awesome. I was like, yes, Zima.

It's so refreshing. Yeah, I never had one. But I remember when I was little, I could see it. It's like Sprite, kind of. It's like lemon limey. Very similar to Smirnoff Ice. It's like a malt. Like a malt liquor. Like Mike's or Smirnoff ice it's like a malt like a malt like liquor

like Mike's or Smirnoff's and now we have White Claws yes which I'm kind of over less calories I know I'm sorry to say I know you love it

I haven't no I haven't drank them in like six weeks I can't really drink them anymore it's not they're not that bad they're not like the best it's just like

because they're light in calories I mean people love them for like because i'm just over it very deceiving in a sense where it tells you because it's like oh low calorie right but like you don't get drunk off of them no you just get really bloated because it's carbonated a little and then you get a headache yeah i mean six was like my maximum and then it's like that's a lot but i'm like not drunk off six, but I can't keep drinking them.

Right, right, right. We add vodka. Exactly. That's why we do it. All right. I got a lot of fun questions. At Jean Shoes 417 wants to know what stereotypical group were you in? I love this question.

I'm so curious to hear what you guys have to say. I mean, we were together. We were definitely the popular girls. Yes, we were popular. But we weren't like the mean, I mean, we weren't the jockey type girls either. We were like in the mix, like a variety. We were like the type that just all comes together. We had a lot of friends too, like outside of that group.

Right, but that's what I'm saying. But I feel like the majority, if you really want to put us all in one category, we had the jocks, we had the cheerleaders, we had the song leaders, we had the athletes, we had it all. So it was like, all right, cool. So it was just more like, yeah, it was popular,

but it wasn't anything in particular. Like we were just that you know how big was your high school 1700 I think you probably know more than me I think it's pretty big yeah I had a couple thousand mine was like a small college I almost felt like so we didn't really have the typical groups I mean yes there were like the athletes who you would call the jocks and then there was the cheerleaders and stuff but like after like we got I don't know past the initial everybody hating us and like everyone finally got along in my high school everyone kind of just intermingled which I really really loved and like my favorite group was the nerds and I was like I was friends with

them and nerdy friends yeah okay but and like the I'll be honest, we weren't part of like, that wasn't us. Like, I mean, but we did have like, it had, we had no issues making friends with other people. Yeah. But if you want to label us,

we weren't considered the nerds. Right. We were more like, I don't know. Michelle, how would you describe our group? I don't know how to say it. I don't know.

We were, we were the popular girls, but you said earlier, you're like- But there's a difference. You said that we were mean and I was never mean. No, but I'm saying they're saying like what other people- She wasn't mean. Whatever people thought of you guys.

They thought of you. They said that it was the mean girl group. Oh, yeah, yeah. But I don't think we're cliquish. And I always had people outside of my group. We all had different groups. Because I used to run track, cross country, soccer. So I had other- You were on swim. I was a cheerleader. Right. group. We all had different groups. Because I used to run track, cross country, soccer. You were on swim.

I was a cheerleader. Right. So we were all cheerleaders. We all had different cliques. I was doing sports. Isn't it funny what cheer, a cheerleader isn't just a cheerleader. It's not that you're cheering for this team. It means something entirely different.

It means you're put in a specific class and the boys like you and it means maybe you're popular and like. I loved cheerleading I did it in more in middle school than high school but like when I did it in middle school that's when I was I was in something called the click and there was the five of us and we were I guess quote unquote the popular girls uh-huh in middle school but then everything changed in high school and then that's kind of like when it all became intermingled. But I feel like other people put you in a certain category that you don't even know you're in until like, right on. Like I agree. You're out of it.

And I, and I, and I feel, and I felt, Adrian was the homecoming queen, but I wasn't. Yeah, you were a sophomore year. Yes, you were. I was a princess. Not a queen. Okay. Out of the entire sophomore class, you were the one elected for homecoming because I was a princess, not a queen. Okay, out of the entire sophomore class, you were the one elected for homecoming because I was so jealous. Did you guys have like yearbook things like most popular or best looking?

Like, do they do that anymore? No, we didn't. Not for private. I think that, I don't know if they still do that, but like thinking, I was just thinking back to that because like we had most popular, best looking, most likely to succeed. In junior high i did but

that was public so it might be just public school i think same but that's so weird yeah thinking back that they have that in private school we never had that and i was in private but you were on court every year for homecoming right her and brianna got so i was never on court for anything ever so junior year me and brianna were on court and then senior year, me. And so, I don't know. Were you shy?

No. No. No, she wasn't shy. She just, No, I think I just cared more about the boys' attention

than making more fun. Exactly. I was trying to like, hang out with these other girls. She didn't want to get to know some other random girls. She wanted to meet the guys that were the cutest.

Oh my God. She had stalking to do. She had an agenda. guys that were the cutest. Oh my God. She had stalking to do. She had an agenda. No likely. She was too busy to stalk people than to get homecoming votes.

You guys, literally, I remember like before I had a boyfriend, I'm not going to say who, you probably know, but we would,

no, no, we're not saying a name. We talked about him earlier nope it was the picture you saw earlier oh okay

my high school picture he's not even worth mentioning nope I don't know so then why can't we say his name because I'm just

not going to no he's not worth it so but we would like okay we were like okay in fourth period at whatever time yes

we would like make sure to ask to go to the bathroom at that time so we can go and hide by the phone booth and make out on the side of the gym oh my god i had a makeout area underneath the stairs on the side of the gym yeah i had one of those too oh my god do you remember freshman year othon oh my god this senior player. He was like so hot. And I remember making out with him under the bleachers. So typical.

Do you remember when making out was a big deal? Right? That was like, you're considered a little slut. No, but that was like the best, that was like the best thing to do. It was so awesome.

I know. You would think. Cause imagine like making out. When was all your, your first kisses? Like actual, like make out kiss. Oh, mine was, was all mine was eighth grade eighth grade seventh grade yeah under the stairs next to the and i was like 10 or 11 and she was probably like eight yeah it was tongue yeah at

the yeah she did everything she was all she was always first so everything so at memorial park we had these dances where all three of the junior highs would come together once a year. And that was where I had my first kiss with a kid named Jesse. See, this is why I wish I was really around Azusa in that scene. Yeah, it was so much fun. I couldn't. But wait, was I the first to lose my virginity too? I think I was, right?

Yes. Yeah. Can I ask how old you were? I was almost 15. But I was already with my boyfriend for like six months. We were sophomores. It was winter formal. And we went to a Motel 6.

So romantic. And you knew who the next one was? We literally. Did they keep the light on for you? They did. And I was the last one to lose my virginity. But neither of us, obviously. How old were you?

I was the last one, 19. She was after high school. I was the last one to lose my virginity. But neither of us, obviously. How old were you? I was the last one, 19. She was after high school. I was after high school. I lasted through all my whole high school years. Did you have any boyfriends in high school? Sure did. And you had two? Nope.

And we were shocked. I did a lot of other things, yeah. Because Adri seemed like she would not have been the last. And I was the last one. Were you purposely trying to hold out for something? Or what was your thinking? I just felt like I should be, I was so instilled. Like my parents are super Catholic. So they're like, you better not be doing this or blah, blah, blah. I was so afraid that if I had sex one time I was going to get pregnant and

I was just, my life was going to be done. So I just never went there. I lied to my parents and told them I was saving myself for marriage and they believed me. i still said that to the last year i would never say that but yeah i was 16 so no i was old i was 19 i actually lost my was your sophomore year before my sister yeah sophomore year um it was going into junior so i turned 16 and then yeah and then mine was winter formal sophomore year so it was almost 15 but it was my boyfriend So Yeah same And we had been together We were together For three or four years Yeah

Mine was my boyfriend too Would have happened Way later I'm telling you My little sister Lost her virginity Before me It was one of those things

When I told my sister She's like I did it too I'm like when I'm like I need to know the date She's like Last month I'm like Fuck I'm like I need another date she's like last month I'm

like fuck I'm five years older than her what other questions do we have that was that was from Tess Greedy did you lose your virginity in high school Avi yes did you get many boys so that boyfriend that's okay so look I love these questions. I can just laugh at all of them. Let me be honest after he graduated. So my junior year, we broke up so many times. It was very off and on that there was like a six month period where we kind of weren't together. And the person who I used to meet at a certain time during fourth period to make out with, I slept with. And then I got back with my boyfriend. And then senior year, there was a new transfer who came over, star baseball player. Yeah. He was so cute. But even like dark and handsome yeah we even like after college like

rekindled things in like our early 20s but it just like wasn't the same like I feel bad saying people's names because I don't want people to go and search them so I'm not going to but last name if you know you know no but like he had the best last name that I was like, oh, that would always like, you know, if it ever worked out. Not that that's why I married Shay. Would you write your name with like guys' last names just to see like how it looks? I don't know if I ever did that. Only on some notes, Sheena. But like so many people said that I married Shay just for his last name.

And I'm like, yeah, I dated him for four years and then married him for a name. I could change my name if I wanted to. We knew Michael in high school, too. He used to carpool with Adrian and I. He was a sweetheart. So no, as far as Mike, Shay went, Sheena did not marry him. That was all legitimate. That was not for the last name.

Did he go to your high school? Yes. But he was a year younger than us so he's with my brother we didn't talk to under people oh wait no one year young two years younger in school yeah a year younger than me in life because i skipped a grade so we so we didn't talk to people under our grade so i didn't know but you did but i ran track with him yes but you also knew my brother no you're all were cool with Paul's friends. And Mike, Shay was part of Paul's friends. No, you're totally

right. So, Adri's little brother and I are the same age, but he got held back and I skipped a grade. So we're two years apart but the exact same age. And him and Shay were best friends. So, the four of us would carpool to and from school together. And you guys were just friends. We were just friends. Yeah, he was a

sophomore. I was a senior. I was back with my boyfriend at the time. So we were always just friends. But then, And you guys were just friends all throughout. We were just friends. Yeah, he was a sophomore. I was a senior. I was back with my boyfriend at the time. So we were always just friends. But then... Yeah, they were just like... Did he like have a crush on you? Yeah. I was like his dream girl.

Yeah. So they were like cool together. And I always thought he was so adorable. Like our wedding vows were so cute. Our wedding vows, like we said stuff

about like high school and stuff. It was really cute. But the name was just a bonus. Like I didn't marry him for his name i could anyone can change their name you could legally change your name for like 75 i will say senior year let me let me marry someone for 75 to get their last name but senior year this guy also he had an s last name it was a very nice one i'll tell you after this podcast and that was the other person I know was remember you know yeah oh my god I'm throwing up this jello I have another question for you guys okay sent in from okay so wait that last question was from Tess Greedy yeah okay so the next question

is from Simply David C that's my boy so I'm gonna alter his question a little bit so his question is from Simply David C. That's my boy. So I'm going to alter his question a little bit. So his question is, being that you are all still friends, how have you all progressed? That's a good question. I want one of you to answer that about the other person. So who should we start with? Adrienne, why don't we start with you, and you tell me how has Sheena progressed from high school till now? Absolutely great question. Because...

Thank you, David. Yes. Thank you. To be honest, when you get older, you get to choose your friends. As you're growing up, you're going through life, you're not really sure. You don't know who's going to come into your life or who's going to really stick. But when you get older, you have a choice. And I made that choice back when Sheena and I were in college

and I really didn't get to see her that often or even Michelle and I. I didn't get to see Michelle that often either. But I made a choice to still stick with them because it was important to me. There's something that stuck out to me that made me feel like they were home. Like it made me feel like I could always be myself. I know that feeling. It doesn't matter what you do. And this is in a lot of reasons, Michelle could do no harm in my eyes. Sheena could do no harm in my eyes. It's just the way a

certain feeling that someone else can give you that other people can see something different. But when it comes to you personally being with that person, you grow with each other. And if you can grow through stages of life, then you got yourself a real friend. Has she done

anything recently that makes you so proud? And you're like, wow, I've really seen your growth from back in high school till now. Like you've, so give me an example. Oh yeah. Tons of times. It started honestly, really when we're young out of high school, she lost her grandparents like fairly back to back all four in the same year. And then uncle, like her family was like back to back all four in the same year like really young and then uncle like her family was like back to back getting hit hit hit hit you know it was so hard but my family knew her family they grew up with her family so that made me feel even more like inclined to be a part and want to show my appreciation and my love and affection for Sheena. And they saw, like, wow, okay, we had this one tight at one point, but look at how the generations have carried on,

and now we didn't even have that anymore, but you two have that. So the fact that we carried on was really cool. And to be honest, like I said, you go through life, and I've lost both my parents and she never left my sight. Yeah. You know? So in those instances, those friendships that you have, like Michelle, they've never left

me ever. And you can stare a little, you can get a little crazy, whatever, but you always come back. Yeah. And it's not- Those are true friends. It's like, and life gets in the way and you might not be able to keep in touch with people, but they're not going to resent you for the fact that you haven't talked in a few months.

It's like once you talk again, it's like back to the way it used to be. Right. She just went through a roller coaster of life. And me too. I'm not going to sit here and judge her or say something. It's like, okay, well, are you okay? Are you good? We're here for you.

I would never turn my back on her like I would never so that's why it's different for us but like Michelle says she's like we established that when we're really young and I feel like watching the show or whatever because I don't watch a lot of reality shows so Adri's like hey you might not want to watch this show because she looks bad in it like you're not gonna be happy about it it's gonna bother you like i don't think you should watch it and i'm like okay because i know she's not like that so then when people like oh you still see her how is she doing like how is she i'm like she's the same yeah because she only portrays what she wants correct and then of

course they edit it they make you look bad and they they do stuff to like make you look like different to us so adrian's like I don't think you should watch it. Because I want you to see Sheena for who she is. And when we hang out, that's a person that's your friend. Have you watched it? I watched the first couple seasons, honestly. And what did you think? And at the first couple seasons, it was OK.

It wasn't that big of a deal. It's more now, I think. It's more recently. I feel Adrienne told me not to watch it. Maybe after season three or four. Because that's what I was told too and then i told sheena because i've been always very honest after the divorce the whole dynamic of the show and my storyline completely changed right the first five years was very true to who i was even the bad parts it was still an accurate portrayal correct i mean i admit it I gave cringe after cringe season six Rob Rob seven

minutes Rob Rob but I also yeah like and I realized that and then I moved to Vegas I grew I learned a lot and when I came back it was like you didn't get to see that you just still saw those cringing moments when there was so much more to it and it's always just like the editing it's always a way that they you know show you you know they want to portray you as someone different and it's always just like the editing it's always a way that they you know show you they want to portray you as someone different and it's like so she's like don't watch it yeah it's not unless you have a negative when you when you hang out with her outside of the cameras and you feel her that she's different then question your friendship but if she's the same with you why does it matter you watch the show or not but But I feel like, too, in, like, our early 20s, I definitely got very caught up in, like, the Hollywood lifestyle before the show, before anything.

You did. But no matter what. What's life? Grow up. But, like, my friends would call me out on that, and it would, like, hurt because I knew it was the truth, but they still never turned their back on me. We would give her, like, our, like, literally, like, our feedback.

Figure two sins. And we'd be like, hey. I mean, what were some things? It some things it's just like is it partying is it going out to clubs too many nights a week i was definitely partying all of it it was all of it like i mean that's what just a little and then having her friends around that weren't like we were not true to her they were not nice they were they were using her they were just going for the face oh for sure they're very fake and very fake yeah and they would like like, oh, hi, you're her friend. Cool. Anyways, you're not important.

I could tell you how many times I met all of Sheena's friends. I thought they were friends. Like, countless of people. I'm like, cool, cool. All right, cool. So this person's cool. Yeah. And Michelle's like, yeah, yeah.

I met this one person one time. And the next year, come around, me and Michelle are like, so did you see that one friend? No. Didn't see her. They're just very like, they're just trying to, I don't know, suck the life out of her,

but kind of like, just like, be a leech. Yeah, you just want to take for what they want of her. And it's not her. It's like,

what they want, they see her doing and like her, you know, popularity and like, just trying to like, absorb all that,

but it's not really like. And I'm too nice that I just like let all those people in correct no she is you are get taken advantage of on the reg still today and you need to tell them like hey you know like i don't really feel like it's mutual kind of thing you should you know you should but we both me and adrie known you for a long time so we know those kind of people around you that are that are not not i wouldn't say toxic, but fake. Yeah. Like they're not there for the right reasons. For the right reasons.

Or they're not there for you. They're there just because they want to get. Because it looks nice today. Right. It looks nice tomorrow. Right. But what about you in five years? Yeah.

What if you weren't even famous? Would they hang out with you still? I think you see that now though. And I think Brock has been almost like a magnifying glass, like, or just like a spotlight to shine that, to wake you up almost and just be like, these people, like, this is why this person, yeah, is doing this and fuck that.

Oh yeah. And that's what pisses me off when people say that, not that he checks me. What pisses me off is when people say that I surround myself with yes men. When I'm like the people closest to me in my life all call me out on all of my shit. he checks me what pisses me off is when people say that i surround myself with yes men when i'm like the people closest to me in my life all call me out on all of my shit no one lets me even my caption yesterday on instagram i sent it to my sister first and she was like if you say this i

know what you mean and i know where your heart is but people are going to say this if you say this people are going to think this and she was like just cut the first part out put the second and I was like okay and then also my mom's the same way all three of you are the same way Brock is that way I'm like I don't have any yes people like yeah okay like maybe like a Danielle or someone like that's like a yes girl or whatever because she was afraid of me for whatever reason but it's like I don't the people closest to me you're so you are so scary girl oh my god girl you are like 90 pounds I know like you're 100 pounds you're 100 pounds you're so scary but like I can take you down I'm literally a person who does not surround myself with yes men I surround myself with good people who tell me if I'm being an asshole. And that's one thing that I love

about Brock is he doesn't let me do whatever I want or say whatever I want. If I think it's right, he's like, no, no, no. Like I'm an, and like, we'll argue, like we will fight. But at the end of each, yeah. At the end of each argument, we've gotten to a better understanding of each other, where we're coming from. And it is always a very respectful like argument because he's trying to make me a better person and I make him a better person. And that's what a relationship is about. Yeah. It's not about putting each other down. It's about making it better. Yeah. And the thing is like, you don't need to constantly be checked. Like you're an amazing human being. Why would you be friends with someone who you didn't think that about, you know? So like attracts like, so you're not going to become friends with people who are just constantly disagreeing with you

because what would attract you to that person in the first place to become friends with them? So obviously, like, if you're friends, you have this basic understanding that, like, you kind of look at the world kind of in a similar fashion. Yeah, I'm not going to surround myself with people who have completely different beliefs and, like, you know, it's like... And you're in a fight all the time. Yeah. What's the point of that?

I mean, in the years that I've known you, there was one situation that I disagree with and I let you know, and we worked it out respectfully. Life is beautiful. Yes. Yeah. You want to talk about it? But the fact that you haven't done anything else except one time in our many years of practice. Yeah, but I was like, okay, I see where you're coming from. Yeah. And that's what you're right.

That's what it's about. That's what it's about. And like, if you have those friends where you say, hey, I don't agree with you doing this, and they cut you off, or they're just super defensive, which, Danielle. I heard Danielle a couple of times. I want to meet this. You are not welcome to this next podcast. I'm going to bring something to your attention because I respect you because you're my friend and you're doing something that

I don't think is the right thing that you should be doing. You can totally disagree with me and we could still be friends. But what cannot happen is for you to just be completely defensive, for you to completely turn the situation around on anyone who's trying to make you a better person or call you out. Like that's no way to grow a friendship. That's no way to grow yourself. You should be open to criticism, which Sheena is. Because she's secure with herself at this point in her life. There's certain people who are not. And that's one thing I actually love

about my haters is sometimes they make me a better person because they see things from eyes of not love. And it's not that I'm wrong, but they see it from a different point of view on that note we're also gonna do a little experiment I I'm gonna save the bigger conversation for when Jasmine comes on my podcast because I want to address this with her but my friend who I just posted with me and Jamie the last picture I posted on Instagram that people are commenting the reasons why I'm posting with my friend of four years who we were out with for her birthday. Oh, but we've known Sheena for like 20 years. And do you see them on my Instagram?

No, because my Instagram is a business. It's not a representation of who I am. My YouTube, my podcast is a way broader, full representation of who I am. or full representation of who I am. And now that we're able to go out a little more and I can expand my vlog to more than just, you know, quarantine and my very small friend group I was around, you're gonna see a hell of a lot more of that in my life because that is my life.

My life is not just the show. My life is not just what you see on Instagram. But what I was pointing out is Instagram for me is a business. I do, you know, obviously do sponsored posts and whatnot. And whenever my engagement is really low, it's because I'm not posting with people from the show. I'm posting things that people don't know anything about. And so I'm like, watch, I go, I've had friends for 20 plus years that you probably don't see on my Instagram because people will like I don't know those girls scroll right past it and not like it so today as this episode comes out there is a

picture on my Instagram with these girls and I'm gonna do a little experiment but I'm hoping that you guys like my fucking picture because these are my true ride or dies going back to the 90s all the way back you know what I'm posting it because going going back to back to the 90s. All the way back. You know what? I'm posting it because. Going back to back to Kelly. Hey. All right. So do as I'm saying, I'm posting you. Do you want people to follow you?

Do you want me to tag you? Sure. Are you public or private? Sure. I'm private. I'm private too. But anyways. Real quick.

This is a perfect example of all of these haters being like, why don't you show your real friends? And where was this person prior? But the first thing is like sometimes people, you guys are private. You did not sign up for public scrutiny. You don't know what people are going to be commenting. You didn't sign up for that. Other people she's on the show with, they did. And that's why they're following her.

And I don't mind taking the scrutiny for Sheena because I'm like, I'm a, you know. For sure. I'm a wife. I'm not saying that you're going to get any. I'm just saying like. No, but you're right. We get it too. But in her mind, she's just like, well, they didn't sign up for this.

Do you even want me to list, you know, where people can find you? Yeah, I don't mind it. Because I don't know if they want, you know, if they want that or not. I don't mind it. I get people on my, to add me or whatever. Well, me and Michelle do all the time. We're like, hey, do you know this person? No. I don't mind it. I get people on my, to add me or whatever. Well, me and Michelle do it all the time. I'm like, hey, do you know this person? I don't know. I'm like, add, add, whatever.

Ah, shit. I don't know. No, but no, it's different. Like, it was for Sheena or whatever. Yeah, it doesn't bother me. And people talking in captions or, I don't even look at half of people's comments at all. So I'm like, I don't even notice it. Yeah, it just pisses me off when people say shit like that because I'm like, you actually don't see

a lot of my real, quote unquote, life on Instagram because Instagram's not my real life. Instagram is a business for me and it's a business that I make money on and I post things that people like because that's what I get. That's what makes money. It's a business.

So I'm like, should I have a separate Instagram? I'm like, but that's what I get. It makes money. It's a business. So I'm like, should I have a separate Instagram? I'm like, but that's my YouTube. The people who are true fans and followers, I love you all so much and thank you for watching all my YouTube videos because that's where, and listening to my podcast, you get to see and hear

a full outlook and perspective of my life and that's where you're going to see all the real shit.
