Is kind of like Kind of the same same Say it again Wow how did it go how's that song it's just like i was just trying to give you the sentence version but it's like it's the same stuff like yeah yeah yeah like i don't know sheena when he goes off on rants like this like do you understand what it's like do you understand what he's like? Do you understand what he means? A year later, I think I understand about 95%. Excuse me, I'm in the room. You're just talking about me over here on the couch? So you're back on me.

Listen, this whole episode is about you. So chill out. You'll love this, honey. We're going to have a whole episode dedicated to getting to know Brock. Brock Davies. Remember when you were playing rugby on TV and I was watching you? That was when I was on TV before I saw you on TV. Yeah, and then I felt like I could only say your name with like a slight Aussie accent.

Brock Davies. Brock Davies from America. I had my hair down with the flows of America. Yeah, his sister had like French braided his hair. I'm like, what is this? It was bad. It wasn't the best. Hey, remember that time we went to the comedy club and they asked you what you do and you thought that they meant drugs?

Oh my gosh. Y'all, this was hilarious. How did you get to know Brooke real quick? So there was one comedian who how did it even start it was can we just let everybody know like my condition when i do smoke like just so they have context of like so when i when i smoke i can smoke a little bit get relaxed get chatty if i smoke a little bit more i'm very like lightweight with the smoke and if i smoke a bit i feel like i become dory and I'll have a conversation.

100% Dory. I'll have a conversation. And then when I realized, I started thinking about where my conversation is meant to be going. I start drifting off track. You're also like 10 second Tom from 50 first dates when you're like. But I'm telling you, because when I drift off the part of my conversation,

I try to get back on. And then when I realized I don't, I don't remember where I'm at, I'm just completely lost. Then that's when you see my face just go completely blank. I look at you with a straight face. So you arrived there pre-argument with the two of you because you were high. Sheena wasn't having it. You arrived very high. That's like the normal conversation.

That's like how we arrive everywhere. You arrived high to the comedy club. And who did you just motion to? The cat? Salem. Is that really? I was like, is there a person behind me? I was like, who are you seeing?

Why would you motion like that to a cat? You can't watch this. But what happened was, we're all in the living room. I know it's Salem. Salem was getting horrified because her sister was here with her dog. So Salem's like scared, scared. He's upstairs. You just ushered your cat back down.

It's okay. It's safe, honey. You just did that. You realize that, right? And the problem that we're laughing about this is Salem just look at you and goes, all right, come on, honey. And she just walks, walks straight down to you right now. He needed to know it was safe. I know.

I saw it. It was ridiculous, but it worked. Did you guys, you don't have headphones in. Did you not hear him at the top of the stairs? Like in distress? Because he thought Piper was still here. Oh, now we're the assholes about laughing at a cat in distress? Well, yes.

Thanks, honey. So I wasn't going to scream his name on the podcast, but when I saw him at the top of the stairs, I motioned. I should have been. And he looked over. So you have your own language. the podcast but when i saw him at the top of the stairs back to the comedy so we get to the comedy show brock is baked i'm pregnant and sober and it was like the fourth or fifth actually it was the last person of the night because that it ended the night so we were outdoors it was like all very spaced out it was freezing this night we had a blanket that we brought in from the car that said like san diego

padres on it and the comedian was like, oh, what's your blanket say? And Brock was like, oh, Padres. And then he was like, wow, that accent and the word Padre, like just doesn't really go. Kind of making fun of him, asks where he's from. He's like, oh, what are you, Australian? Or are you one of those Australian guys who's like, no, I'm from New Zealand. And then I start busting up because I'm like, yeah. And he's like, oh, is he from New Zealand? So now it's just like a roasting Brock part now pause in my head I'm baked the comedy when you're high and you're me you don't want this guy to look your way okay so she's there laughing like this is funny I'm there internally breaking down going, oh, fuck. Oh, fuck.

Like I was about to get it. I was like, what? Don't talk to me. Stop talking to me. Why are you still talking to me? And that got me in a point of, oh, crap. So that's why I wasn't thinking about everything. Yeah.

Just back to keep going back to Roast Me. Hi, Brock. That was going on in my head. Back to you. So then the guy was like, oh, like, where are you from? Whatever he says. We live in San Diego. And I speak with like a mother too,

right? I have like a mom. Oh wait, no, I know how it started. He goes, do you guys do drugs or whatever? And you just kind of like cheered him on and said like,

yeah, like, woo. Yeah. No one else was laughing at the comedians. So I look like the drug guy. A general room room everyone would scream out everyone normally especially in la you know you say like oh you guys party everyone's like

so you think everyone's gonna woo but no one except brock woos and that's when he asked about what was on the blanket etc yeah and so then he goes so uh what do you do and brog's like uh uh medical marijuana because i thought he meant what do you do like because i just was like i do drugs he's like what do you do and as soon as he told me that i lost it i was like fuck he's still talking to me and i need to have an answer and i don't even know what he's talking to me about what do i do i do drugs yeah i smoke weed but then in my head i was still australian for a hot second and my head was like leads a weagle so illegal so i was like all right i smoke medicinal marijuana no you didn't say you smoke you say you do it so then he thought you were a dealer what do you do and you go medicinal marijuana what i do as an

aka and then brock's not catching on and the guy was like, Not until we left. He goes, you know, maybe next time you should wear like your company logo like on the blanket, not like a fucking baseball team

and pass out business cards. I was like, business cards. Because it's LA. And I was like, oh my God, honey, he's asking what you do for a living,

not what drugs do you do or have you done. Well, hey, at least i do medicinal marijuana yeah it was it was pretty great though and that ended the night and it was just it was amazing well because i didn't realize that brock had no idea until we were leaving That was a good one. Oh, good times. So we have a whole list of things that Jamie has prepared to get to know you a little better. Because usually when we podcast, it's more about us. And we wanted this to be a little bit more about you. Thanks, honey.

You're number two man in your life, apparently. Thanks to Mer, taking number one. I'm sorry. It's okay. It just happened not jealous and just now i know so it's okay all right where shall we begin well we just brought up him being from new zealand slash australia so let's start with like your background. What brought you to America?

Oh, see now I don't want to, I don't know where I want to go with half these stories, but okay. You got me. God damn it. So I used to, when I played rugby growing up, I wanted to play football. And so that's the long story short. I moved over here to pursue a football career. I quit rugby and then moved over here to play football. Um, was nearly there, made it to a practice roster and that, and then got let go. Um, came to San Diego and then moved over here to play football. Was nearly there, made it to a practice roster and that, and then got let go. Came to San Diego and then I created a plan B, which was my studio, which is awesome for me. I was happy there.

But once you create a plan B, you lose your plan A, you know? So I felt like that. So that's kind of what brought me to America and what kept me in America was just America, like the opportunities here. So for me, staying here, I couldn't go home a loser as per say or home after everything I sacrificed when I first came over here and I speak about that in a I think it's really it's hard for me to talk about feelings so when like I talk over it you'll figure it out and maybe through tonight

but yeah I came over here with with a goal and uh that was to take care of the family, all of them. So that's what I came here for, for opportunity and to work hard. So that's why I'm still here. And before you moved to San Diego, you lived in Vegas. And we actually lived at the same apartment complex. That's insane. Right next to Tupac, where he got shot, actually. Yeah. Tupac was shot out in front of our place. He used to pass out pub crawl flyers or wristbands right where I used to walk in to do my show.

Like every day. That's funny. So crazy how our paths almost could have crossed. Almost. But it took us time and we had a big jump after Caboo. And after party. And an after party, 2 a.m. in the morning. Yep.

Awesome. The only time something good happened after midnight. Yeah, seriously. It's just so crazy, too, because, like, I always love doing this. When you can just take one event or meeting one person and how that can change the course of, like, the rest of your life. and how that can change the course of like the rest of your life. Had I not been at neon carnival that year by myself, because everyone left, all my guy friends were paired off with girls and they were just my friends. So it wasn't like that. I end up with this chick who all of our friends like left us. We end up hanging out, becoming friends. And then what?

Six months later, we go to a music festival together and she invites us to this after party and I meet Brock. Yeah. But it's like, had I not been at Neon Carnival, I may have never met Danielle. And all of the things leading up to me meeting Brock might never have happened. Or I would have just walked up to you somewhere and just grabbed you. Maybe.

But I mean, I think definitely we would have met. Because I think we're like meant to be or some gross shit. Moving on. I'll let you pick the next one how are you preparing for the baby what are you most excited for okay i'm excited for disney like good disney movies and like dress-ups like if she wants to be ulsa i'm in what if she wants to be anna okay not lead role, but okay.

So one thing that I've always wanted someone to ask me in an interview, and I'm just going to ask myself, is what's like one thing about Brock that we wouldn't know or like wouldn't really guess? And he loves musicals. He loves Disney musicals. He loves Disney musicals. He will blast Frozen at the highest volume in the car and in the house and sing to it. Can we do an F, marry, kill for Disney princesses? Yes. Okay.

What's the three? Who are the three? Pocahontas, Jasmine, and Belle. Your weakness. Brunette. F, Jasmine, and Belle. Your weakness. Brunette. F, marry, kill. Yep. Okay.

Well, Belle, see you later, mate. You're good. You're killing Belle? Well, I don't want to kill her. I'll just leave her in the woods. You're dismissing her from the ball. And the Disney character, leave her in the woods. She doesn't get a rose.

She doesn't get the rose. She can have an apple. Give her an apple. Not Snow White's apple. Well, it doesn't matter. That'll kill her. Well, there we go. Okay, he's giving.

So I'm killing Belle. And then Pocahontas or? Jasmine. Jasmine. Oh, I can see the world with Jasmine. But Pocahontas is just around the river bend. And she makes wind like. And she has Miko.

So actually Pocahontas is my wife. And I'll have a good time with Jasmine on a magical night, you know. Now that you know that you're Native American, you're so loving his answer right now. Well, I mean, I've always loved Pocahontas. But I mean, Jasmine was like, like I've dressed up as Princess Jasmine for Halloween. Yeah. I've had a thing for the, for the brunettes there for a minute then. Cause yeah, I had, I had a toy Miko growing up as a kid.

I had Miko, which was the raccoon from Pocahontas and he was a big, and I had, I had that when I was in like hospital with my hand. That was like my one Teddy I had. I can remember having for the whole time. Miko. So there you go. Pocahontas. Sheena, justith tonight just around the river bend that's all i got for that song oh my gosh i haven't seen pocahontas since i was like can we watch it sure honey

perfect i'm excited for for winnie to go into a room and to have all the princess movies. Because I think the stories that are told from it, they have good meanings to them. All of them have always got bad people losing. And good people that take hard things and go for adversity, they come out on top. I think it teaches good lessons. I enjoy the lessons it teaches. Yeah. So I'm into it.

Yeah. So Brock loves musicals and especially disney musicals are different though like musicals are like pure talent you know yeah okay i got a question for you from one of the girls i've got a little group chat going of all of the winners of the um my sugar taco glass giveaway because i initially uh texted them all in a group just to give them an update for shipping information. And then to my surprise, everyone just kept talking to each other. They've all made friends now. So it's awesome. Like we all talk. Yeah. So actually one of them asked me to ask you what hair products do you use? Because your hair is better than

anybody's. Honey, do we have any commercials for hair products yet? Fill it in right now. Let's have a little chestnut hair. It's actually just... Mostly just blast, which is annoying. Sorry about that. I want to get better at it. I do want to take care of it. I just haven't.

Maybe the lack of taking care of it is what's taking care of it because you're not washing it. You're not over-washing it. Correct. I think I've heard that from a couple of doctors. Doctors. From like hair saloners. Hair saloners? Just go with it.

What are they called? Hair dressers. Oh, my God. Hair dressers. Hair saloners. All right. So I think that, yeah, they tell me, they say, look, it's because you don't wash it. You don't take the oils out of it and it does its thing.

Yeah. So don't wash your hair as much. Yeah. I mean, I only wash mine once a week. But then don't listen to me either because I don't have any idea for that. So thank you for the compliment. Well, Sheena, you have beautiful hair too. What do you do for your hair?

You wash it once a week. Yeah. That's it. That's your secret. What do we want? What product do we want to use the most of? What's that one I use? The brush X.

The blue one. Oh, it's Moroccan oil, I think. I use Moroccan oil. Argan oil. I think that's what it is. That I'll spray in my hair just to kind of like add a little shine and take away the frizz. Excuse me, it's about me, not about your hair. She asked me.

I actually did ask. So, yeah. All right right you can ask the next one where do these questions come from from solo questions or from yourself like where how'd you get these ones um mostly jamie we were just talking the other night and we're like what should we do for the podcast this week i mean i love that it's on paper i'm into it yeah brock likes to be prepared for shows he needs an Actually, that's how this came about. I was like, Hey, it's coming up. Brock's going to be on. We know he likes his outline. So let's figure out what we're going to talk about. Then we're like, you know what?

I like it. Yeah. I'm over it. I mean, you've seen me try and film a pilot. I can't do it. I was always on top of everything. Oh my gosh. So Brock wanted to audition for the circle. Yes. And when we were trying to do his one minute audition tape. Hi, I'm Brock Davies. I'm from Australia for the circle. I would like to play my sister, Nicole. Here is why.

A, B, and C. Da, da, da, da, da. Wrap it up. Couldn't do it. And I was like, honey, and I go, this is what you do. Hi, I'm Brock Davies. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I, like, did the whole thing, and he's like, but you're good

at this. He's like, I, and he couldn't do it. He was so frustrated. Like. Because I wasn't just going to sit there and just talk to it, which all I needed to do was do that. I was above and beyond. Did you prevail, ultimately? No, I gave up. No, you just that i was did you that's one thing i quit on there you go because i could just that's one thing that's like i'm not a perfectionist but like i once i get it in my mind like i can't be so frustrated i felt bad because it was just like i you know with instagram ads and whatnot it's like i'm used to

doing this kind of stuff and especially with the show when we have to do like interviews and we have to like repeat things that happened six months ago or whatever I'm just used to doing that kind of stuff and talking to a camera yeah and he's not and it does take a certain skill like people may think it's just like so easy to do what I do but it's like you know you to do what I do, but it's like, you know, you have to, when I'm doing my Instagram ads, like I have to like, remember, I don't have a teleprompter. I have to memorize all of these key points about a product that I just started using. Maybe a product I've used for four years, but I've just learned these

key points about. And I will say, oh my God, I was so appreciative. Kyle Chan, the other day, he commented on my Instagram story and he goes, I am very impressed. He goes, that was a real good script that you learned. And he's like, I bet you no one else notices this. He's like, but I just want to tell you, I'm very impressed by you. And I was like, oh, thank you so much. And then it was like a couple of days later, I had another one. He's he's like wow you did it again i mean they're hard with the few things that i do get offered very few but i get to the point where i'm like can i just pay you for them because i don't want to do the ad i'll just pay for it i'll just pay for it yeah but um so he he's not going to be on the circle spoiler alert love to be on it though. It would be cool.

Circle. Anybody? I just gotta get, I gotta figure that one out. Yeah. But that leads me to my next question. What do you got? You could potentially be on a reality show next year with your missus. Yeah.

We're going to be up in LA. I'm going to be up there anyway. So, uh, I'm in whatever we're doing wherever this relationship goes with that yeah but let's just say it wasn't something that

I mean I think we've been very blessed that we haven't had to do this earlier when I first met her her biggest problem was the show with relationships

is what she explained to me and yeah you went a full year without we didn't do nothing crazy so I got lucky I got perfect timing

as soon as she wrapped up, boom. So TV is not something that's in your realm of work, but fitness is. So not only do you own a 45 down here in San Diego, but you also have a new fitness app called Homebody that you have been working on all of quarantine. Yeah. So tell us where that is at in development, when we can expect it, and a little bit more about that.

Well, for today's ad, it's going to be on Homebody. And so Homebody is a live streaming platform. Obviously, when we went into the pandemic, myself as studio owners and all my coaches and all that, we have a platform that we can't use. Now, we used to be training our clients. So we went online. We all went to Zoom and live streaming. So I felt a big gap in that market.

So I went ahead and designed our own platform from start to finish. Obviously, like I said, we've been developing it for six months. The moral of the story is it's an influencer market platform. We really like the concept of Cameo or even the OnlyFans account where you can have content and have subscription base and monetize from your content. I believe that all these workout videos on social media are expensive. They shouldn't be free, but we've made them free for social media, for exposure, because people kind of like, oh, if you do this, it's exposure.

Like the Super Bowl, right? They don't get's exposure, you know, like the Superbowl, right? They don't get paid. Correct. The actresses, the Superbowl. If you're in the Superbowl halftime performance, you actually don't get paid.

I don't know about that. Is that a thing? We Google that while we're halfway through this one, just fact check that one because you get the amount of performers because the amount of exposure you get is valued for that money. So like, that's like, I feel like maybe I have heard that before.

But that's the same as social media right now. At first I thought you were talking about the commercials. I'm like, no, the actors in those commercials definitely get paid. Yeah, we found everyone's competing. Everyone's putting videos up for content, you know, and it's free. And it shouldn't be free. Coaches understand the amount of time they put into it. So now you have a platform where you can save it and free.

What do we got? You're right. Super Bowl halftime artists are not paid to perform. Yeah. Exposure. So we all do it. So the goal was just to turn around and create money from. So if you have a following or anything like that,

I'd love to talk to you. There's my little plug. Reach out to homebody. But we are in beta. We're finally, finally about to launch in the new year. And we're going through our funding of seed right now, but we're in a good position. We're looking forward to it. So thanks for that, honey, for the comp. Yeah. A little add in there. I'm excited for you.

We'll be good for us. Well, with the F45 and, you know, owning a small business during a pandemic, how have you had to adapt? Oh, I mean, we are in a very, before I even bicker and bitch about where we're at, as a business owner, we're so far ahead of so many other business owners. So I don't want to come off snooty or upset or bickering. We're in a good position, but it's constantly a lot of energy. And it's just because like,

I call home and I tell, I call home all the time with my mom and my sister. I talk to them for five to 10 minutes. They talk me off a ledge and pretty much put my mind at ease. They remind me of what's going on in the world. And because everyone's on the same page back there. And over here, no one's on the same page right now. And so it's very confusing for myself, for anybody, any business owner,

just to logically think of one correct way of doing things because you're going to get judged for it. There's just so much other mindset. So it's very tiring right now. As a business owner, it's just tiring that no one's on the same page. And that's the reality of it. But again, I'm not going to complain. We're in a better position than other places too. So it's just been difficult. It's been, I mean, long days, you know? Yeah. So what are some other differences between where you're from and here? Are there any good things or? I have no idea, but our coffee back home is so good. I like, I miss it.

Like, and I spent $8 of bloody Starbucks's on these little basic bee lattes, you know? Yeah. And yeah, back home, I miss the food. And it's really weird to say the food. Meat pies. Meat pies are amazing. Like all of our food, but like you go to a cafe and you get some gourmet fruit. I mean, again, it's 30 bucks for me to eat one salad, but it was really, I miss the food

and the culture and just being, being able to have a beer on a Friday afternoon because you had a hard day of yucca, you know, like you finished the whole week off. Yeah. I like those days. A hard day of what? Yuc you know, like you finished the whole week off. Yeah. I like those days. A hard day of what? Yucca. What's that? Hard work.

Hard work, baby. That's just like second nature to you. Yeah. Well, we also last year on the Friendsgiving episode, we did a bunch of like Aussie slang and that was when I learned what that meant. So now anytime he says that, I just know what he means. Yeah. Gotcha.

But I do love that whenever he kind of like starts spiraling about America, this or whatever, he can just like talk to his family and like his sister. There have been a couple of times and I'm like, I'm calling your sister because she will listen to her and she will put him in his place like i don't even remember what it was the other day we're on facetime with her oh i think he was like talking about you like her because she just takes your side because i'm always right okay you're not always right we already know this you have a psychic that tells you I'm right to listen to me her name is Jamie no but it was something about like traveling like going back to Australia and like us having to quarantine and like this and that and I was saying I'm like honey as much as like I would love to do

that right now you know like we have to quarantine for two weeks and then would want to be there for another two weeks because I'm technically a high-risk pregnancy. I have doctor's appointments every few weeks, so I can't just take, you know, five weeks off right now as much as I would want to. And then, God forbid, something happens. He's like, well, there's free health care. I'm like, I understand that, and it's amazing.

That doesn't make too much sense, though. But I need to right now be here and be close to my doctors. Like if you want to go back and visit your family right now, by all means, I will not stop you. But that wasn't my argument, honey. My simple argument was fear, right? We are living here in so much fear through your pregnancy because of the pandemic, right? And we're living in fear. We don't know who we can see, who's being tested, right?

So my only argument on that was basic of fear. And your fear was flying and in quarantine for two weeks. I said, but honey, the amount of time we fly in quarantine, then we're with no pandemic. Then you're fearless. That was my argument to you that obviously you still didn't get across. That was it. Even if you have your doctor's appointments, we still have doctors over there too.

I know, but honey. Not the same, I understand, but you can get a checkup. When you're 25, 30 weeks pregnant, you don't just go to a different OB. I understand that, but I didn't think about that one too much. Yeah, exactly. And that's why his sister was like, Brock. I was just thinking about the stress that we deal with here and back home. They're running around because they know who has COVID.

Yeah. And they control it in the community. So your fear factor would be zero. I know. And I can't wait until we can go and visit your family and bring our baby and go out there for an extended period of time. I'm so excited for that because I love your family. My family loves you. He loves my little sister.

Yeah, another little sister. And, yeah, it's crazy because, like, you remind me so much of my dad. And there are things, like, I mean, our moms are very different, but there's just certain things about your mom that, like, remind me of my mom. And I think our families, when they're able to, like, finally meet, our moms are very different, but there's just certain things about your mom that like remind me of my mom. And I think our families, when they're able to like finally meet. That'd be fun. We'll just like mesh so well together. I don't even remember what it was the other day, but it was like the four of us or a couple weeks ago, my parents and us hanging out and Brock and my dad are just like so similar with so many things.

And it's crazy because they always say, you know, marry someone like your dad, marry your best friend, whatever. And I've never dated someone who actually reminded me so much of my dad until Brock. Your dad is so sweet. Like the sweetest thing ever was in that. Yes, you are. He might be a little sweet. You're a softie. Like the sweetest thing ever was in that. Yes, you are. He might be a little sweeter than me. But you know with your dad in your announcement YouTube video where he was like, I'm going to quit smoking for the baby. Yes.

That like warmed my heart. I know. So he's on the road to quitting smoking. Thankfully, I just got him this new nicotine gum called Lucy. And that has been helping him. It, yeah, they have like three different flavors, wintergreen cinnamon and this like new pomegranate, which other brands don't have. And it's been helping him because he's smoked his whole freaking life. And he, I told him, I'm like, you know know even before he knew I was pregnant he we were

standing outside and he was smoking a cigarette and I was like not around me and I like walked in the house and my mom was like Sheena and I was like what I'm pregnant she's like he doesn't know that yet like that was so weird like you never just rudely walk away when your dad's smoking and I was like but I don't know I was like I just freaked out I was like, but I don't know. I was like, I just freaked out. I was like, ah, smoke, I'm pregnant. Get away from me. And my dad, I guess he like picked up on that and was like, that was a little odd. But then like a week later when we told him, cause I was like waiting, I don't even remember if this was the first time or this time I was pregnant, but we weren't ready to tell him yet. And so when I told him, I was like, yeah, remember last week when you lit up that cigarette? And I was like, get it away from me. And so he promised that he was going to quit smoking. So I just got him this stuff called Lucy and they also have like lozenges and it's

great. They have, um, this one's a nicotine and cherry ice flavor for the lozenger. But like I said, they have the three flavors of gum and it just it helps because i think you know you can't just do something for that long and then quit cold turkey like you kind of need that yeah transition to get out of it and like it's 2020 people you know get rid of your cigarettes unplug your vapes throw out your dip and get some lucy some nicotine gum some lozenges i've always called it lozenge have i been saying it wrong wait maybe it's lozenge i've always said lozenges but you know what it doesn't have an r in it i think i'm just making that up i think it is a lot i'm sitting here thinking i've been calling it the wrong thing i always say it's wrote lozen. What's a lozenge?

Guys. Like a cough drop, you know, like a lozenge. Oh, my gosh. Maybe I've been saying it wrong. Lozenge. Wow, a throat lozenge. Okay. I still don't know what it is. Well, yeah, but the great thing about Lucy is it's convenient.

It's discreet. The products can be enjoyed anywhere you know on flights at work on the go and even when you're at the gym so you don't need to take those cigarette breaks you can just pop in some lucy gum or a lozenge good luck to rvo we are with you and let's go we know you're gonna do it the big man uh-huh and y'all, a subscription to Lucy comes directly to your door each month.

Yeah, me too. Okay, rapid fire questions for you.

Okay. One word, did it reply or what? First thing that comes to their head? Yeah, brief, quick reply. Okay, I'll stop talking. Favorite thing Sheena cooks for you? Food. No, more specific, please.

All of it. Well, we have those ready-to-go meals. What are they called, sorry? Home chef. Home chef. So, I mean those ready to go meals. What are they called? Sorry. Home chef. Home chef. So she, I mean, her chicken's good. It's all good. See, you would think that like just anyone like dating me or a friend of mine would be

like her enchiladas. He's like not crazy about like Mexican food and enchiladas. Enchiladas are overrated. Fuck you. I'm sorry. And your sister doesn't like Mexican food, which I just learned. I know. It blows my mind that anyone.

And my dad doesn't really either. Another thing. Interesting. It's not like another thing. It's like there's more. No, another thing that you and my dad have in common. Because it's always just rice or beans and cheese. So?

That's the staple diet. This isn't rapid fire, by the way. Okay, go. Next question. Everything. secondhand pregnancy cravings just from sheena being pregnant like is there anything that like you are cheating on yeah for sure oh now he's gonna use that as an excuse jamie ice cream at midnight well i mean we used to smack the the um frozen yogurt but i think we calmed that down because obviously the pandemic wasn't really helping me out with the pounds and i'm not pregnant so i'm not getting any cravings but

i'm getting baby weight yeah yeah he's got the dead weight okay do you have a favorite cheat food oh anything anything sweet i would have everything like a human disposal. He will eat anything and everything. Like desserts first? That's okay. Like eggs that he left sitting out for two days the other day. He cooks up and they looked really nice, like sunny side up. Like he's a really good chef.

And I was like, honey, those have been sitting out on the counter. I was like, you never put them in the fridge. He's like, they're fine. He's like, I grew up on a farm in New Zealand. You know, you just take the egg and you crack it right open and you eat it and i'm like well we're in america and here the eggs are preserved and the refrigerator and they need to stay in the refrigerator and brock is a person where i can't just be right because of something my mom raised me or something a friend told me i mean you guys could just google that that's what

i had to do because Because he needs facts. Once she Googled it, I was like, might be right. It's not worth the $5 of fucking eggs to throw out and be sick. But I have heard people that just leave the eggs out on the counter and they think it's fine. No,

they build bacteria. So just so you know, people, don't leave your eggs out. It's two hours. I didn't risk it. you know, people, don't leave your eggs out. It's two hours. Yeah. I didn't risk it. Trust me. Okay. Moving on.

Yep. Favorite TV show? Oh, decisions. Ooh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Well, I mean, it's every... Oh, my favorite of all, Vikings. Boom.

And there's a last season finale season coming up in December. Vikings is my favorite TV show, period. And then you got Game of Thrones. Mm-hmm. I like those type of ones. Yeah. Yep. I like everything. What if you had to pick a favorite TV show period. And then you got Game of Thrones. I like those type of ones. Yeah. Yep. I like everything.

What if you had to pick a favorite reality show? Oh, Below Deck. Yeah. He loved Below Deck Mad. I just think it's just a really good concept because each week you got new people coming in to stir support, you know?

Yeah. And then you've also got the foundation of bullshit that's in there. Then you got new stuff. I think that's a great concept for a reality show because I feel like it's very easy to keep that going sheena's favorite friends and don't feel obligated to say me oh we don't have that many friends it's you and brett like that's like you're like you but she's got like different friend groups and that and then obviously being in san diego our friend group dwindled real quick because i just keep doing all the

stuff we don't want to be doing. Um, but she's got friends here and then I'm in LA, Tom and Ariana, James and Raquel, um, down here, you and Brett.

And then, I mean, down here is a big choir, but you've got like Taylor and all that down here, the girls. Yeah. Is there anyone that you don't like that you've met of her friend? I guess that's really me.

And I guess you can't say it. They're just not in my life anymore. Okay. I mean, there, anyone like you warned her about and then you were right. You guess you can't say it. They're just not in my life anymore. Okay. We won't say it. I mean. Is there anyone like you warned her about and then you were right? You don't have to say who it is. But like, do you get like intuition on people? I mean, there's one chick I just straight up don't like, but she's not around anymore.

Yeah. It's not Danielle either, just so we're very clear. I actually like Danielle. I just wasn't into like the whole kissing my girlfriend thing. I'm sorry. Brock didn't like that I had a girlfriend. I don't get jealous of any man. Let me be very clear.

I don't get jealous of any man because I believe in that I can't, I'll treat you right. Liking another girl, having another girl around, that's a different vibe. I'm not going to, that's a different vibe,

complete period. And so I actually did not like her. I even told you the other day, like I was more jealous of her, but that's it. I even told you the other day, like, I was more jealous of her. But that's it. I think there's one other person in your life I don't like. They're not in your life right now. If they come around, I'll tell her to kick rocks.

Okay. Do you have any to add to this? Friends? No, no, no. Rapid fire. Bang, bang, bang. Ooh, now you're putting me on the spot. The one thing I did want to point out was about

like brock liking musicals and here's what another thing about brock he i think has a great singing voice he just needs to like apply himself i would love to learn how to sing oh you guys why don't you get a karaoke machine he needs no he needs like singing lessons because because he has good range. We were in New York with a bunch of Broadway performers sitting in a room. It was so fun. My friend Colin has the dopest house in New York City. And he has the piano, the whole setup. So we go over.

He was on a show on Bravo called Spy Games. So we go over for the premiere. And then after, we all stay for just a little musical night. That was so cool. And yeah, it was so fun. So we have one guy playing piano. And then they're just like, what song do you want to sing? Oh, let's sing Frozen.

Let's sing this. Let's sing Rent. Let's sing blah, blah, blah. Yeah, it was so good. And so then Brock's chiming in. And I can picture the guys sitting there. They're like, yes, Brock, get it. And I was like Brock's like chiming in and I can like picture the guys sitting there. They're like, yes, get it. And I was like, he's good.

I don't have range yet. Somehow people see me as a singer, which I still don't understand, but I'm like, he can sing. And I really wondered though, like if our daughter will get the singing gene because he has a good voice. He just needs a little bit of tweaking. I will take her to classes then. I want to hear this and I still stand by get a karaoke machine

and bring it to Mammoth. I do. Oh, that would be fun. Yes. You get one on Amazon. Oh, wait. You know Sandoval's going to be in Mammoth. Yes.

No one else will get a turn. That's true. It'll be 4 a.m. We'll be like, can we go yet? We should have a dress-up night. We should just ask Sandoval if he has a karaoke machine. He probably has one. I know Schwartz has one.

What is a karaoke machine? A microphone and a speaker? Or does it come with more? You somehow need the words, too. I mean, it's a laptop. I guess. You could pull up YouTube and just start singing along. We'll look into that.

We don't even need a microphone. You can just put it on YouTube, put it on the TV, and bada-bing, bada-boom. No, you need a microphone. Just around the river bend. In two weeks, we're going to Mammoth for New Year's Eve with Jamie, Jesse Montana, Tom Mariana, James and Raquel. with Jamie, Jesse Montana, Tom Mariana, James and Raquel. And we're going to do a fun episode where I'm going to force everyone to pop on for at least five minutes. Cause Raquel, she's done my podcast once. She's not a big podcaster. Like she just doesn't like talking on podcasts, I guess. Okay. And so she never wants to do it, but I'm like, if everyone else

is popping on for a few minutes, we can get her her we'll give her a couple drinks we'll get everyone to pop on um I think that'll be so much fun we could talk about new year's resolutions yeah and like a favorite like holiday memories growing up I just wanted to be a very fun positive holiday themed episode but before that so here's what we're going to do next week for you guys, for the listeners. We're going to bring a lucky one of you on the show as a guest for a segment. I think that Jamie had a great idea by wanting to like give back to the listeners. So you guys aren't just listening. You get an opportunity to now come on the show. I'm not sure how often we're going to do these.

It'll just, I think, depend on the schedule of guests that we have coming up. But tell them how they have to enter, Jamie. Okay. So they, first of all, have to be leaving a five-star review on the podcast because we want to vet all of you people. We don't want any negative Nancy's coming on. Yeah. We want actual fans. I'll take all negative Nancy's. For our first one, let's be gentle. Let's go easy. Okay. Let's get an actual fan of the podcast. So that's number one. You have to have left a five-star review. And then you need to be following Shenanigans podcast on Instagram, which is just at Shenanigans.

And then third, are we going to do like a static post where they have to comment below if they want? I mean, how are they going to tell us that they want to be on? I think, yeah, either comment on the most recent Shenanigans post on the one of this episode. Yeah. Or slide in Jamie and I's DMs. Either or. Somehow let us know that you're interested. Yeah.

Definitely. Pick one. And we'll have you guys, you know, bring a question or two, whatever you want to ask us. And then tell us a little bit about yourself. Give us, you know, an interesting story or just something that, you know, you want people to know about you. And I think this is a great idea that Jamie had. And it's just, it'll be fun to be able to have someone who listens to the show be a part of it.

Yeah, I want to hear from them. Yeah, so everyone who wants to be on the episode next week, go and enter. We will be picking one of you. And yeah, shall we do some reviews? I've got it ready to go. Let's do it. All right. Let's start with the one star.

I have to say there haven't been many lately. So maybe this is working. But in all honesty, I was talking about the reviews like maybe we're getting more positive reviews and that's why there's less one star ones to read oh okay I didn't know if us you know reading the one stars would provoke more people to leave more one stars and hope that I read them you know so like I just don't want it to be counter effective right but so far I think it's been fine. And I think it's like a good way for us to like hear the constructive criticism. And if it's not constructive, then

maybe we could just point out like, Hey, you know, maybe that's not meant for a review. You read the review and I'll write it for you real quick. I do appreciate the constructive criticism and I think it makes my show and my interviews better. But when it's just like a one star, like you're boring, we hate your show. That's not a review. If it's a two or three or four star, like here's where you can improve. I invite those in. I want this show to be one that you guys enjoy listening to.

I do appreciate all the positive responses, but I'm always open to constructive criticism. I think that I've gotten better at cutting people off and letting them talk more and not talking about myself as much. I don't know. Maybe I have, maybe I haven't, but absolutely. And I have to say this next one that I'm going to read does touch on that, but I have to say it did come in before kind of our more recent episodes. Because like I said, we haven't been getting many one stars. So I had to go back a little bit. So this was, you know, maybe a couple of weeks ago. So title is horrible from not obsessed. Now that this is turning into a I'm vegan and a pregnancy podcast, it went from bad to horrible.

You are not the only person who's had or having a child. She is the only person that can be interviewing someone else and end up always talking about herself. Don't have guests on if you want to talk about yourself. Well, here's the thing. Yeah. Episodes like this, when we, I mean brock is the guest technically but like yeah it's sheena's podcast like yes you should talk about yourself in in certain episodes like something like this that we're doing but what's interesting with this one is because people have said there was another review that i took that constructive criticism they're oh, she has her guests come on to interview her. And I'm like, first of all, like Perez Hilton, for example, he had so many questions for me.

He even asked at the beginning, like, oh, did your fans and listeners get mad last time I was asking you questions? I was like, I don't think so. And he's like, OK, because I have questions for you. I'm like, OK, cool. You know, like you can also bring me on your show to ask me questions. But sure, let's talk about it. People are listening to my show to hear me and to hear my guests. But for example, with Crystal Nielsen, a couple of weeks ago, I edited the shit out of the rapid fire questions because

I was like favorite pregnancy app. And she's like, what to expect? What about you? And I'm like, I answered it. But then it's like every question I asked her, then she wanted to know my answer. And I was like, I'm going to take that criticism that I got from one of those negative reviews. I'm going to cut all of my answers because I'm interviewing her. And I did that. So I'm trying to, even if it does come up in conversation, it's a podcast, you can edit it. And I cut about six minutes down of me talking because she kept asking me questions and I'm like, it's your interview. It's not about me. Yeah. I think like a constructive criticism of that, which was, you know, don't talk about yourself is in your,

your answers. Like, well, it's her show. I think people want to follow you. This podcast for them is them to be like a fly on the wall and have you to be their voice to talk to your, your, your people like the people you're interviewing yeah so if there's a guest absolutely so they want to be a fly on the wall and come through you live it through you not turn around and watch you and them you know what i mean they want you want to yeah use you as their voice and they go that's the constructive criticism i take from that comment yeah Yeah. And we've, we've taken that. And, and then on the flip side to that, I get so many questions like, what are your girls self-care routines? What products do you like? What this asking personal questions like that.

So maybe next episode we'll just do something like that, go through our favorites or whatever, but we're taking in the criticism, right? Yeah. but it doesn't always have to be a one star. When it's constructive criticism, I think it should be between a two and a four. And I will say, you guys are lucky I don't talk about being vegan as much as I want. I bite my tongue so many times. When Crystal was saying how much dairy she's been craving,

I just looked at Jamie and I'm like, ooh, you are being so good right now. I mean like that's who I am, but like, yeah, I don't need to bring it up every moment and I get it has to be balanced and I get everybody does not want to hear about it. So, and then again, on the flip side of that, it's like I've gotten hundreds of DMS of people thanking me for that and change, they're changing their lifestyles or asking me questions. So I love that. that's why i do that but i i i promise you it will be balanced yeah oh yeah i won't be letting that veganism running around on the end we could rock won't have that i'm gonna keep this i'm gonna keep this household in a straight and narrow okay

you know what it's great that we all have different opinions. That's cool. Okay. So let's end on a positive note. It's called entertaining from Kristen Opfer. I love listening to your podcast each week. There's always a great variety of topics that you talk about and it's entertaining. Fridays are even better because of you. XOXO. Gossip girl.
