Starting point is 00:00:00 Thank you for listening to this Podcast One production. Available on Apple Podcasts and Podcast One. So one of my girlfriends has always been on the curvier side and just struggled finding cute clothes that fit her. That is until she found Tord. I know I've talked to you guys about this before. I'm going to talk to you about it again because I love it. It is a fashion brand for women who wear sizes 10 to 30
Starting point is 00:00:23 from jeans to intimates to cute dresses and tops. Torrid is focused on designs and styles that are fit to perfection for your body. All of their pieces are wear tested on real curvy women with diverse shapes and sizes. That real fit can be life-changing, ladies, because we all know one size does not fit all. Inclusive sizing for curvy women isn't a trend at Torrid. It's who they are and what they have been doing for years. Experience Torrid for yourself and find out what makes Torrid first at fit. They have Torrids in all of the malls.
Starting point is 00:00:58 I've been going there with my girlfriends since high school. You know, it's like I go to Forever 21. She goes to Torrid. It's awesome. So check them out. And right now, you guys, for my listeners, you can go to Torrid.com and use promo code Sheena15 for $15 off every $50 you spend. That means you can get up to $150 off a $500 order. Again, that is Torrid.com.
Starting point is 00:01:17 Promo code Sheena15 for $15 off every $50 you spend. From Vanderpump Rules to Vegas and everywhere in between, it's time to party with Sheena Shea. This is Shenanigans. And now, here's your host, Sheena Shea. What's up, you guys? So, we are back with some more Shenanigans. We had Sundance, we had Super Bowl, we had so much fun the last couple of weekends. Today, we have Bravo fam in the house.
Starting point is 00:02:03 That's right. Mr. Nima Vand. That's right. Mr. Nima Vand. That's right. How are you? I'm good. Shaws of sunset. I feel like I've been here before. I was such a subject of Shervin's, you know. Yeah, we're going to get into that.
Starting point is 00:02:14 This is like deja vu all of a sudden again. We're going to get into that. I hope so. Shervin sent in several questions. Did he? Oh, please read them. Yeah, he saw my Insta story. I bet he did.
Starting point is 00:02:23 And then I had a missed call and then i had like five messages and i was like oh wait you're a little nervous we might talk about you yeah please do so because i mean at this point now i've hung out with you more than i've hung out with him i think we're yeah we're closer than you and so your loyalty is to me now at this point yeah i've known him longer though doesn't matter like matter. Like events and other Bravo stuff. Yeah, but you like me more, so it does not matter. Hey, I didn't say that. Shervin, she meant it.
Starting point is 00:02:50 She didn't say it, but it's in her heart. Anyway, I'm just going to point out the elephant in the room. That is a big bottle of Rosé Nima Brat without a wine opener. Mr. Rosé didn't bring an opener for the Rosé, so we're just going to stare at it. First off, it's a gift. It would be presumptuous to assume that I was going to drink it with you guys. I'm sorry. When you walked in, you're like, oh, I wanted to drink this,
Starting point is 00:03:12 but I didn't bring a wine opener. This is fake news. Now it's a gift. Thank you. I will gladly take your gift. You're sober now. It doesn't matter. Sheena gave me this whole lecture on how she doesn't drink in L.A. anymore.
Starting point is 00:03:24 Yeah. And so, like, This is really for you. Great, I'll take it. No, it's not for you. I was going to be presumptuous and say we'll leave it in my fridge until you come over again, but never mind. You just missed out.
Starting point is 00:03:37 Janet, you take it home. You're welcome, Janet. I've been traveling so much. I have so many more trips coming up. We were in Sundance two what, like two weeks ago. Then I had Super Bowl. Like, my voice is still gone. It doesn't come back because by the time it starts to come back, I go out of town again.
Starting point is 00:03:54 Like, I'm going to Vegas this weekend. And after Vegas, I have Nashville. After Nashville, Janet and I are going to Sydney and New Zealand. This is a bit of a humble brag, I think. Totally. I don't even know if it's humble. you might not even be humble just a brag first of all the majority of it is work related thank you very much so i have some networking events okay um which we did in sundance which was great because we got several podcast, guests booked, met a lot of good people. It was legitimate networking, then partying. Time out.
Starting point is 00:04:28 I just want to say your Insta stories for Sundance, major FOMO. Like major FOMO. So lit, right? I'm like at my house like doing laundry and I click and Sheena's like turning up with like champagne. I was like. It was so much fun.

Starting point is 00:05:14 What just happened? I had this similar experience where I had John legend and his wife put me on their story and that was like the ultimate, like what is happening in my life? Oh, Chrissy Teigen. You mean Chrissy Teigen and life you mean Chrissy Teigen Chrissy Teigen yeah she's a huge Bravo fan we love Chrissy I first met her at Sir years ago and then like I've done some shows and stuff with her but she is amazing she's my like goal guest to get here I gotta text her again oh my god you got her number that was humble brag number two can we call everyone of sheena's humble brag
Starting point is 00:05:51 anyway okay so vegas this weekend is just for my magic mic needs and fun but other than that that nashville is all work and sy And Sydney is half work and half fun. That's going to be an amazing trip, by the way. It's absolutely amazing. I'm going to be the fun part, not the work part. Because it's like summer there. So you get to like do the whole bikini thing. It's going to be amazing.
Starting point is 00:06:13 Yeah, it's fun. Actually, I didn't even think about that. Yeah, it is bikini season there. And our fun Courtney Berman's coming. I'm going to be doing a lot of one pieces. I don't think I'm bikini ready yet. You got to be ready for the gram because you're going gonna have to have like an outfit a day on Instagram. We talked about this for Sundance.
Starting point is 00:06:28 She had like a different jacket for every day. Yeah, he's like, wait, why are you bringing a big suitcase? You're going for two days. I'm like because I need options. It's winter. I need big jackets. Yeah, coats take up a lot of room in the suitcase. This is something men don't understand. Like we're like, put it all in a carry-on and we're totally content.
Starting point is 00:06:44 No, not when you need a different outfit. Look how disgusted she looks. You're a bougie ass and content. Did you see how disgusted she looks? Please. You are so bougie. You're going to tell me
Starting point is 00:06:51 you're going to go on a trip and only bring a tiny carry-on. Sheena's just on a Southwest high and mighty card right now because she always likes to tell people that she fucks with Southwest only. First of all,
Starting point is 00:07:03 Delta is my numero uno. Southwest is my Vegas numero uno because I'm A-list on Southwest. Humble brag. Number four. Number four. Yeah. Just keep those. Can we do a little ticker? I think I was number three maybe. I will say. Whatever. I love Southwest. I'm not going to hate on Southwest. I'm A-list. I'm in the first boarding group. I feel like you need to be in the last, though, because every time we fly Southwest, you get on the plane first, and then 90 people pass her, and they're like, oh, my God, hold on. Can I get in your seat so that I can take a picture? And I get to my seat because I'm not A-class or whatever it is.
Starting point is 00:07:36 A-list. Don't talk yourself down, all right? And I get in, and I'm like, who's this person she's sitting with? I'm like, I thought she was going to save me a seat. Selfie fan knocks over coffee in that did happen on the way to you i was like you need to be on the d list so you don't have to pass all these fans and but that's dicey territory because then you could get in the middle seat and that's that's like southwest roulette that's a very very dicey at least i'm
Starting point is 00:08:01 boarding first i'm saving you a seat And I learned the way to do it. You just sunglasses, hat, stay on your phone, don't make eye contact. My problem is I'm so nice that I make eye contact with everyone and I smile at them and like wave. And I'm like, oh my God, can I get a photo? I'm like, yeah. But like this chick literally like, so I'm at the window seat. I'm saving the middle for Janet. And then someone takes the aisle.
Starting point is 00:08:24 And then this girl like sees me. She like smiles. And I was like, hi. And she's like, oh my God, can I get a picture? I'm like, yeah. Thinking we'll be like, you know, when we get off the plane. And instead she literally like straddles the woman in the aisle. Straddles her.
Starting point is 00:08:38 Hops over. Sits in the seat. Knocks down her coffee to get this selfie. Meanwhile, Janet's coming. We're like, the line's being held up. I was like, oh my God. I walk up and I'm like, what's happening? The lady in the aisle knocks down her coffee to get this selfie meanwhile janet's coming we're like the lines being held up i was like oh my god i walk up and i'm like what's happening the lady in the aisle's pissed she's like i don't know what's happening this girl just knocked over my coffee sheena's like get this girl out of here i'm like can you get out of my face fast forward 10 minutes the plane's taking off she's like okay so i love lisa vanderbilt this scenario gives me so much
Starting point is 00:09:01 anxiety because i refuse to do what she does because Because when I try to save a seat for a significant other. One season and he refuses to fly some blast. You get the dirtiest looks from people. I cannot handle it. So I tell my sister or whoever I'm dating, I'm like, you're on your own. If you don't come with me, you're on your own. I can't do it. The secret is having a big purse that you put in the seat next to you.
Starting point is 00:09:20 Oh, he also won't UberX, which I'm not going to complain about if you're the one paying for the Uber. Oh, he also won't UberX, which I'm not going to complain about if you're the one paying for the Uber. First off, I just read an article that said Uber deals with literally thousands of sexual assault complaints a day. This is why I use Lyft. Okay, Lyft is like even worse. UberX, there's a one in three chance the person picking you up is probably a serial killer. Is that a real stat? Is that a real stat? I made it up to make my argument better.
Starting point is 00:09:43 But my point is I have had too many weirdo experiences. So what do you do? Select. Oh, my gosh. I'm not like a black, uber black guy. I'm a select guy. What is the select? In between black and X?
Starting point is 00:09:53 Yeah, it's like middle of the road. Middle class, you know? Whatever. Must be nice. Lift X for life. Can't do it, dude. Me too. Stand by my position.
Starting point is 00:10:04 Hey, if you want to pay for it, I'm glad to hop in it. I just will never be that bougie. I don't care if I can't afford it. I'm not going to waste money on something that costs more when I can have the same thing for a lot less. Although, you're not getting in an Uber pool anytime soon. Oh, God, no. First of all, because
Starting point is 00:10:20 and not even, I don't want to be in a car with strangers. No. Even though I'll let them drive me, I don't want to be in a car with strangers. No. Even though I'll let them drive me, I don't want other strangers in the car. But also, that just, I am always in a rush. Like, I just want to get to A to B, like, as fast as possible. I don't want to be stopping dropping someone else off. Like, I'm getting in the car. Take me from here to my point of destination.
Starting point is 00:10:39 If Sheena ever does an Uber pool, can we please have a camera crew there? Oh, I would love that. Did you um what's kristin bell accidentally gotten an uber pool once and she like live tweeted the whole thing that's awesome yeah that'd be a bad idea actually kind of do that yeah yeah all right so okay well we'll experiment maybe no yeah nema next time we hang out we we're taking an Uber pool. No, I'll just meet you there. Then I won't see you. Sweet.
Starting point is 00:11:12 So anyway, as it's been made clear, we've hung out a couple of times. Yep. Well, I guess once. Once. This is the second, but we're hanging out again later this week. So we're friends. We're Bravo fam. I feel like once you're part of the Bravo fam, it's a fraternity thing. Yeah, but it's such a quick connection with people, too, because you have so much in common.
Starting point is 00:11:29 And especially your entire group of friends have been friends of mine for a really long time. I know. So that makes things easier, too. Okay, but just for those who don't know, so this was your first season on Shaz. Yep. How did you get involved with the show? I know this but so mike tried to get at my sister and like hell would freeze over before that would ever be allowed so i that's because
Starting point is 00:11:52 he cheated on his wife and you just knew that he had like a bad rap or no i just i just no i i've never actually even met jessica i just didn't i mike's reputation of being like the playboy dude precedes him and i was like that's not gonna fly with my sister no way so when i when she was like oh yeah he invites me on this ski trip i was like okay okay i'm your plus one and i literally came as like a buffer i literally told mike i was like i'm like that song everywhere you go like i'll be there literally i'll be there everywhere so i had to like put the kibosh on that and then just kind of bonded with the group and started hanging out with them so wait you didn't know

And then I obviously know who he is because I watch the show and whatnot. But he came up, introduced himself. And then as we're getting ready to leave, we talked for like a minute. And then as we're getting ready to leave, I was like, oh, I don't want to be rude. I want to go say bye to Nima. And I see him sitting there with his Erica.
Starting point is 00:13:41 And I know who she is because I watch the show. And I was like, so I go to like say bye and I give him a hug and I go, did you guys get back together? And I'm like, I'm just going to call you out because like,
Starting point is 00:13:49 why are you coming over to talk to me if you're there with your girlfriend? She called me out hard and she likes to hang on this. She's like, why did you come talk to me?
Starting point is 00:13:56 Let me give you my version of the story. Let's hear it. Let's hear it. So I get there and my buddy owns the bar and he's like, oh,

So he's like, yeah, this girl from Bravo's here and I was like,. And he's like, oh, this other girl from Bravo's here. That is my first humble brag. She's going to win this, but that's my first one. So he's like, yeah, this girl from Bravo's here. And I was like, who? He's like, this girl from Vanderpump. I'm like, Sheena.
Starting point is 00:14:11 He's like, yeah. So I literally text MJ, who's like my big sister. And I was like, yo, like, Bravo fam's here. Do I go say hello? I don't want to have to be weird or anything. I just want to say hello. She was like, no, dude, go say hello. Like, you guys are part of the same fam.
Starting point is 00:14:23 Fuck it. So I walk over. I say hello she was like no dude go say hello like you guys are part of the same fam fuck it so i walk over i say hello for two seconds very like platonically just like hey nice to meet you meet the mom erica's lovely sheena's leaving she comes to say goodbye what she thought was super gracious first gets mobbed by fans between her table and us always and then comes over and literally is like what's going on with you guys you guys together like went zero to a hundred on me and i was like wow like that's really forward i gave you credit though that's me i was like there's a beat around the bush yeah like really went at it immediately and then i introduced you to erica yeah yeah and it was all good and then what did she say when i left nothing oh
Starting point is 00:15:00 nothing so you guys are broken up but still friends. Broken up. Erica like blocks me on social media. Erica like runs the business of me. So like any business that I'm involved in, branding, all that bullshit, like she is in charge of everything. But like she'll be the first person to be like, don't communicate with me outside of business. And like we'll set those boundaries. Wow.
Starting point is 00:15:20 Okay. So football was business that day? Yeah. Because we're going to actually be doing branding for Josh. See what I do there? Okay. Yeah, see that? See that?
Starting point is 00:15:29 She must be on reality TV. So if you were to start dating a girl, how do you think she would feel that you're so close with your ex-girlfriend? I don't care. Yeah. I don't care. Yeah. My relationships that precede someone are not for the new person to talk about. relationships that precede someone are not for the new person to talk about that being said i think if i like dated somebody else who like was not erica i think my relationship with erica would
Starting point is 00:15:50 sever yeah i don't think she would like stick around for that that makes sense yeah yeah we actually all three of us have something in common and we're all divorced yes actually i was just thinking about this like shaw's like we're half and half divorced and not divorced. That's so true. No bad omens to MJ and Reza. But like we are literally three. Yeah. So we're. Wow. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:10 And on our show, I'm the lone divorcee. Everyone else just keeps getting married or buying houses. Give it time. Yeah. No, no. Don't say give it time. I think I think. Give it time for more people to get married.
Starting point is 00:16:22 Yes. I also think Sheena tends to overcompensate on the like, I'm never getting married thing again. She'll get married again. You say the same thing. No, but I don't overcompensate. I'm not overcompensating. I just say it's going to take someone real fucking special to make me walk down an aisle and sign a fucking contract again. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:16:38 Yeah, but you dragged out the real. That's overcompensating. See what I'm saying? Because it's not just going to take someone like real cool. It's going to take someone real cool. Shervin. Oh, gosh. Hashtag Sherv.
Starting point is 00:16:50 Should we just get into the Shervin questions? Let's go for it. Oh, but first, at Sam So Nolan wants to know if you still have a crush on Stassi. Oh, my God. No, I think Stassi's beautiful. I thought out of respect to her and Bo, like I think Stassi's beautiful, but I out of respect to her and Bo, I think Stassi's beautiful, but I would never be that guy. I respect their relationship. Have you met them?
Starting point is 00:17:10 Yeah. Okay. I've not met Bo. I met Stassi. Okay. Yeah, yeah. And it was like a little schoolboy crush that Andy brought up at our reunion. And the minute he did, I was like, God damn it.
Starting point is 00:17:22 Andy hears all the gossip. Oh, he does. He always brings it up. He's a gem, and he did. And I was like, God damn it. Andy hears all the gossip. Oh, he does. He always brings it up. He's a gem, and he did. And I was like, oh, here we go. I knew it was going to be put on YouTube, and it caught a life of its own. At Bree H. wants to know who's hotter, me or Gigi? You.
Starting point is 00:17:35 I wasn't asking. She was. You can see it right here. No, I think you made that question. Shervin wants to know how many rosés it is. I haven't read these yet. This is mad. Give it up. Lay it on me. How many rosés does it. I haven't read these yet. How many rosés does it take to get to the center of an EMA?
Starting point is 00:17:50 That's not a question for me to answer, but Shervin loves to do a rosé count. Anytime we go anywhere social, he'll count how many rosés and make bets with people on it. And you have a rosé necklace, right? I have a rosé everything. I'm the OG of the rosé game. So you started the brosé rosé.
Starting point is 00:18:06 Literally. And everyone dick rides now. Like the bachelor is coming out with his own rosé. Oh, we love a good dick ride. And I can accept that. But like I know that I'm the OG. And so I've been approached by essentially every rosé brand to do deals. I've turned everyone down because we're going to do our own this year.
Starting point is 00:18:23 And it's going to be the best one you've ever had. Amazing. Rate your top five Bravo. Wait, did you say how many it takes to get? Oh, yeah. You didn't even answer the question. If you give me five glasses of rosé, you pretty much can get anything you want. That's literally like the golden ticket.
Starting point is 00:18:38 Yeah? Okay. Rate your top five Bravo Labs you're attracted to. Sherve doesn't count as one. After all, you do limit your pool to just our network. Shervin loves to say this. Top five? I don't think there are five.
Starting point is 00:18:55 I would say top three would be Stassi, you, and maybe – Who else am I really attracted to? Notice he named me second. Yeah. That was on purpose. Maybe I should see if Shervin's free Friday instead. You should. You should.
Starting point is 00:19:09 He is, by the way. He told me. I don't think there is a third one. Do you watch any of the Housewives? I do. If you had to pick a housewife for the third. Dude, if I could marry NeNe Leakes and live happily ever after, I would for the rest of my life. You just want a sugar mama?
Starting point is 00:19:23 Absolutely. Yeah. I think – I wish it was more – It should be the ultimate one. Oh, my God life. You just want a sugar mama? Absolutely. Yeah. I think I wish it was more. She'd be the ultimate one. Oh, my God. Talk about like what a life we would have. Right. We would be so happy every single day.
Starting point is 00:19:32 And I'm not trying to shit on her and Greg, but like I've been telling you, Nini, we would be so fucking happy. Jane, a fangirl over her, she's like, Sheena, I'm not going to ever like do this again, which she has a few times. Of course. But she's like, you have to take a picture of me and Nini
Starting point is 00:19:44 when we had that night of like 21 doorbells or whatever. That was like housewives heaven. Sheena brought me backstage and it was like 40 housewives, all the Vanderpump people. I was like FaceTiming my mom the whole time, like sneaking, showing everybody. Dude. It was heaven.
Starting point is 00:20:00 You are preaching to the choir on this one. And I gotta tell you, but NeNe, I use NeNe, like, is it GIF or GIF files? GIF. GIF. You're showing your age by asking. GIF is peanut butter. GIF is image.
Starting point is 00:20:12 I'm never going to forget that now. Okay. That should be a meme, by the way. It probably is. Yeah. So I, like, my cell phone text message records are literally half NeNe Leakes GIFs. Like, I use them interchangeably all the time. She has some good ones.
Starting point is 00:20:27 She's amazing. So you like Nene, but is your nickname Nina? Why did Mike call you that? First off, put Nene above you as well. So it would be Stassi, Nene, and Zendaya. Okay, just so we're – Currently texting Shervin, seeing if he's free for Friday. I just told you who he is.
Starting point is 00:20:43 Switch out my Shaw. No, this one's Shaw. You can know. This one's retiring. The Shaw swap. Well, we were going to go to the Brode, but... Anyways, you were asking, is the nickname Nina? See, Mike is really threatened by me. I think that in a lot of ways,
Starting point is 00:20:56 I'm everything he's not. I'm younger. I'm better looking. Humble brag. I'm in better shape. That was three in one sentence. You guys are tied. An inception humble brag. It's a brag within a brag within a brag. But either way, I'm in better shape and I think that was like three in one sentence that was like an inception humble brag
Starting point is 00:21:07 it's a brag within a brag within a brag but like either way Mike really hazed the shit out of me in my first season like he just came
Starting point is 00:21:14 at me harder maybe it's cause I cock blocked him and my sister maybe it's cause he's just Mike but he created this nickname of Nina
Starting point is 00:21:21 and ran with it but they never put it on the air I don't know why yeah I was like I didn't know that. But okay, last question from Shervin. God, Shervin. Yeah, all right.
Starting point is 00:21:30 You're obsessed with me. How does it feel to drive a real car and not have to have a little kid in the backseat operating everything with the remote control? Congrats on the new Mercedes. Thank you, Shervin. I will always have a special place in my heart for Lexus. That car was like the perfect car for my divorce I was like in a divorce it was my like third life crisis car and I sold my soul and got a Mercedes sorry sure we can't all have nine fucking cars okay whatever you seen them you guys made out all seven of them? Oh, shut up. Like I would tell you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:05 I'll get the juice from Shervin later. Anyway. All right. All right. That was all the Shervin talk. That was. Wait, no. Okay, what are you?
Starting point is 00:22:15 You were saying before we started that there was fake news when he was here. So what fake news are you talking about? Absolutely. One thing you're going to know what means I don't hold anything back, which I said, like no softballs. Yeah, but I think that's why we get along because we can like give each other shit and not be offended. Yeah, yeah. Sherbin came in here
Starting point is 00:22:31 and was like pimping me out to Sheena like it was his job. He was like, oh. I was here. Yeah, and I'm listening to this and he called me afterwards. He's like, hey, dude, like I totally put in a word for you and Sheena. I was like, what? And he goes, yeah, you like her. And I was like, huh?
Starting point is 00:22:48 I've literally never mentioned Sheena to Shervin one time ever. And I was like, Stassi. And he's like, oh, fuck, my bad. And never set the record straight ever. Oh, that's hilarious. And I told her this. And then when I saw the podcast and I listened to it, I was okay with like, oh, he thinks you're hot. Because like you are hot.
Starting point is 00:23:07 It's fine. But he was like making jokes about, oh, borrow my car. Oh, Nima's going to be so hot and bothered. I literally was like, this motherfucker is like, don't try to get at Sheena and use my name. Like just get at Sheena. You got 12 cars. Drive all 12 of them to her house and be like, pick one, whatever it is. I think they already did pick one for the date on the podcast.
Starting point is 00:23:29 Yeah, I forget which one. It's an Uber pool. Yeah. Anyway, I guess – Yeah, that might be my night that I drink in LA. I hope so. Yeah. I would like to be an usher at the wedding.
Starting point is 00:23:42 Oh, shut up. Or like Joey from Friends where he does the whole thing. I'll be ordained. Officiate the ceremony. Yeah. Yeah, that's not happening. As I said, I'm probably – Marrying Adam.
Starting point is 00:23:55 Never. Oh, God. Oh, we're going to go there. She's going to marry me before she marries me. Oh, mister, I don't feel threatened by Adam. I don't even know this guy. Everyone's threatened by Adam. But if you've seen him, you can be threatened by him.
Starting point is 00:24:07 He's a very good looking guy. Very good looking guy. Very. Yeah, of course. I give you credit. We're best friends. We had a thing and that was it. Had a thing?
Starting point is 00:24:17 Yeah, we had a thing. Okay. I always tell Shida, you don't owe anyone an explanation. No, it's now national news. Adam and I slept together. It's not a secret anymore. And we did. But anyway, today is not about him.
Starting point is 00:24:32 No, it's not. Today is about you. Okay, sweet. So, you are a Chargers fan, which is one of the things I think is your best qualities. I agree. Yeah, I'm still trying to find some others. Just stick with one. You may need some time,
Starting point is 00:24:47 but it's like, it's hard to find a good solid chargers fan in LA. That's because everyone Dick rides the Rams a little bit. And like chargers are the OG team. And so like, yeah, don't get me wrong. I mean,
Starting point is 00:24:57 I'm, you know, I was just at super bowl. I was rooting for the Rams, but she's winning now. Anyway, I'm like, look, I'll, I'll still root for my city, but I will never be on the Rams bandwagon. No, you'll root for any L.A. team, but it's like they're like the other child.
Starting point is 00:25:14 Yeah, like, I mean, I'm a Lakers fan over Clippers, but I'm not going to like not root for the Clippers if, you know, they're in the finals. I agree. By the way, did I hear that you have tickets on the 50-yard line at the new stadium? Second row, yeah. Jeez, that's dedication. Yeah. I don't know anything about sports, so I'm like, if I had to line up which team names you guys were talking about with what sport they were, I think I'd get 50-50. Wait, I think that would be a really fun game to play with you, Janet, to have 10 names.
Starting point is 00:25:43 You know in school where you have like the two columns and then you have to draw the lines of which one matches with which? I would have a lot of erase marks and like crossing out. Let's just put it this way. Sheena's tickets are gonna be fucking great for the gram. Okay. They're gonna be amazing for the gram. I'll go for the gram. Oh, you're gonna have great. And for the nachos and hot dogs.
Starting point is 00:25:59 You're gonna have the best Instagram experience ever. Yeah. I know. Janet bailed on me. i mean you had a very good reason i was in the hospital oh yeah are you okay i got bit in the face by a dog that's what this is i noticed what that was i was trying to like stare it's small now but it was i couldn't go to the game and be in the sun with my yeah stitches and bloody face and i missed out on spider and spider spencer and heidi Spidey. I like Spider better. Spidey, which I was bummed about.
Starting point is 00:26:28 But you guys had a great time. But it was a great season for the Chargers. I mean, the best I can remember. Yeah, but the Chargers are soft, though. They are just always going to – unless they have a way to – until Tom Brady retires, they'll never push for that ever. Right, and that's what I'm like. Tom tom brady of football is like the kardashians of reality tv until that show is canceled we will never be number one literally like it is chargers kryptonite and it's just
Starting point is 00:26:54 it really is it's fine i'm not ready to talk about it but it's fine tom brady is giselle's husband right i love you so much i love you so much right now. Yes. Yes, he is. I love that. That's amazing. Yeah. Okay. So I don't know if this is something you can talk about. So if not, I can cut this out.
Starting point is 00:27:15 But you and I have had several conversations about a fellow high school student we went to school with. Oh, no. We can talk about it. Can we? Yeah, of course. Because Janet will appreciate this and know actually who she is. Oh. So, Nima went to a dance in high school with Meghan Markle.
Starting point is 00:27:31 What? Not just a dance with Meghan. This is a humble brag for the ages. So, Meghan Markle was the homecoming queen of my school. We went to a dance together. Not that one, because we were a different year, so we couldn't pair up. She was friends, and we were all in the same group of friends. She dated
Starting point is 00:27:50 my friend Gabe. They legitimately dated after high school, the whole thing. And I was telling Sheena, I don't really talk about this, because I don't want to seem like I'm trying to ride her clout, you know? But at a party, Meghan Markle messed with my heart so bad. I'm going to tell you a very quick story. So I was like 16 years old. We were at a party megan markel like messed with my heart so bad i'm gonna tell you a very
Starting point is 00:28:07 quick story so i was like 16 years old we're at a party and megan was like a woman among girls like i'm talking not in a bad inappropriate way she just was like way sensual and we're like little boys have no idea how to handle any of this so she sits on my lap and goes like nose to nose with me i'm talking like her nose is almost pressed against my nose which means the like distance between our lips is like inches right and she in farsi mouths to me and i'll give you the translation you're so beautiful and i look at her i'm just it's like the way's World like say it in Farsi Farsi is not a romantic language but it would be which is
Starting point is 00:28:50 which should show you how hard that is thank you and she said it and that wasn't to you so anyways so then I look at her
Starting point is 00:28:57 and the only thing that I can manage to get out in this moment is how did you learn Farsi and if you want to just like take 16-year-old boy's brain, scramble it, and walk away, and let him die,
Starting point is 00:29:12 this is the response. It's like, how did you learn Farsi? And she looks at me dead in the eye. And she goes, I learned it for you. And she gets up and trots away. Oh my gosh. And I was just like, what just happened? And then another time she was like, you know, I like don't know if I like you or the idea of you.
Starting point is 00:29:35 Oh my gosh. And I was like, what? And my mom, what the hell does that even mean? But you can't say that as a 16-year-old. So you're like, that's cool. Or you're like crying on the inside. Wow. So you guys never made out, hooked up, nothing.
Starting point is 00:29:47 But my friend Gabe, they hooked up. Wow. And he's like really I think a little butthurt about it because they stayed friends for years afterwards. And Gabe is like that. He has a ton of female friends. And then the minute she got on Suits, she ghosted him. Oh, really? Like hard.
Starting point is 00:30:04 He would like text her and gave like the most non-threatening guy so he was like hey like how are you let's grab lunch and like no response and it like really upset him like when he talks about it i can see like a little bit of pain in his heart now she's like the queen i was gonna say i bet that killed him if being ghosted doesn't hurt enough i'm like damn having your ex marry royalty is kind of the biggest thought in my face ever. How do you go on from Meghan Markle? I mean, I just can't even imagine. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:32 Sorry, Sheena's Instagramming. She's sending snaps to people. I am because we got to tease this shit. This is good. I wonder who she keeps in touch with now. You are a very astute interviewer because her best friend, who we all went to high school with, after I told Sheena – because I have all this Meghan Markle memorabilia. Oh, I've seen so many photos. I have, like, photos.
Starting point is 00:30:57 I have, like, my Kairos. I got, like, all this crap about Meghan. Kairos? We called it Kairos. You called it wrong. It's Kairos. What's that? It was, like, a retreat you went on at Catholic school. Oh, okay. We're Catholic school kids. Kairos. We called it Kairos. You called it wrong. It's Kairos. What's that? It was like a retreat you went on at Catholic school.
Starting point is 00:31:06 Oh, okay. We're Catholic school kids. Kairos. Yeah. Not me. You're good. See, I think this is like Nima's way of like getting to Stassi through me in case like her and Beau break up.
Starting point is 00:31:17 He's like, I know Stassi's weakness. Is it that transparent? Yeah. Am I that obvious? Anyway, so what was I just saying? Oh, so her best friend. I say Stassi and he gets all flustered. Her best friend.
Starting point is 00:31:32 I went on her Facebook because we're like randomly Facebook friends. And I was like, let me see if there's any trace of Megan and nothing. Interesting. And they were like this in high school. Wow. She was the girl that taught her Farsi because this girl happens to be Persian. That's how Megan actually learned the words. And like literally not.
Starting point is 00:31:48 And I looked at like her wedding photos. Megan wasn't there. And it was like in the suits era. So I think Megan may have ghosted a lot of people during suits. Get on a USA show and shit changes. Yeah. USA. That's it.
Starting point is 00:32:01 I mean. I guess that's making it. I mean, that's equivalent to Bravo. And I would never just ghost my friends from high school. Should I, like, post all this memorabilia and stuff? Yes. Yes. I feel like I have so much of it. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:32:15 I mean, I've showed you a lot of the pictures. Yeah. No, I've seen a lot. Yeah. Yeah. We're talking, like, 16-year-old Meghan Markle, like, the whole nine. I see post-it. And we went to high school, like, in the same era.
Starting point is 00:32:24 So I'm like, okay, I remember those early 2000 years, late 90s, early 2000s. We have like bonded over how like the 90s was like the greatest. Okay. Of course. So Janet had, see, I think, okay, last night I liked your idea. I think this is a good group to do it with. We're all going to get a Tamagotchi. We're going to see who's lives the longest okay and whoever's dies first
Starting point is 00:32:46 has to buy the next dinner at like a nobu malibu type of thing 100% wait 100% speaking of nobu malibu then we're gonna get back to our love did that guy hit the dms he didn't hit the dms he hit the questions oh so we we went to dinner um a couple weeks ago at Nobu. I had never been to the one in Malibu, so he's like, let's go get dinner. So not a date, you know, just like a business dinner. Yes. So we're at dinner. We end up just like hitting it off with the server, and he's hilarious. Somehow the talk of Raya gets brought up, and Instagram, and our server's Instagram
Starting point is 00:33:23 handle, shout out to at I want some tacos I love that I was like okay that is the best Instagram handle ever because I always want some tacos and I told him that he is gonna be the recipient of my next Raya invite so he asked so you're on Raya of course yeah so is she just like no I'm not anyone who knows me knows that's not true I've seen like three Sheena Shays
Starting point is 00:33:47 on Raya none of them are me I will never be on a dating app I don't understand this I want to put her on but I want to I would go on a dating
Starting point is 00:33:56 field the guys I would go on a dating show before I would go on a dating app I will never go on a dating app I think they're so vain and superficial and just like, swipe for hot, swipe for not. Not my thing.
Starting point is 00:34:07 I feel like you would love that. No. This sounds like Sheena. Hot guys are usually douchebags. Sure. I mean... Can we get to the waiter's question, please? I'm very excited about this. Did you get a Raya invite yet? No. He wants to be on Raya.
Starting point is 00:34:24 I just said, I'm a man of my word. He will have my next invite, but it has not come yet. Raya is very selective about this kind of stuff. Did you follow him on Instagram yet? No. You should. I won't. It's rude.
Starting point is 00:34:34 I won't. I don't care. All right. Yeah. I'm very selfish about stuff like this. Really? How many people do you follow? He didn't even follow me until he slid in my DMs.
Starting point is 00:34:41 I didn't slide. That's such nonsense. Yeah, you did. This is fake news all day. I have the DM. I could have. Let in my DMs. I didn't slide. That's such nonsense. Yeah, you did. This is fake news all day. I have the DM. I could have. Let me just post it. I don't care.
Starting point is 00:34:50 Let me explain. I could have. I could have pulled the move of like, hey, MJ, give me Sheena's number. I want to say hello. That is like super lame. That's super creepy. I was like, I'm just going to DM. And it's very non-threatening.
Starting point is 00:35:03 Good to meet you. Which you're actually, I'm going to say you're lucky that i got that because then we wouldn't have started a awesome 90s conversation via text it was in her 99 plus requests literally and the only reason i have not checked those in years like i just i never check my dms like literally my email is public it is on my profile sheena at sheena.com if you want to reach me that bad it's literally public i'm not gonna email someone oh i've i've had guys email me literally i've yeah it's happened but it's just like it it is so easy it goes straight to my phone i get my emails and um so i never check the 99 plus because it's
Starting point is 00:35:45 usually like assholes or people who like really want me to get that message, but don't want it to get lost in the thousand comments or whatever on a picture. And the only reason I started checking them was when I was going through the whole egg freezing process last month, I had a lot of women reaching out with personal stories, with advice, with stuff. So I ended up checking them every day because I was bonding with so many women who were going through similar experiences. And then I see a blue checkmark and I'm like, I don't usually have blue checkmarks in these random DMs.
Starting point is 00:36:14 And it was Nima. First off, I'd like to establish that I think Instagram is like the new way to communicate with people. I am not going to disagree with you. Like there's no sexual undertone to being like nice meeting you. I feel like anytime a guy slides into a girl's DM, there is a slight undertone of like that sneaky. Disagree. I don't go. Absolutely disagreed.
Starting point is 00:36:35 In 2019. Yes, I agree that that is a common way. Like, I mean, I am notorious for giving out my phone number. It is a terrible habit of mine when i'm drunk one of the reasons i probably just should keep not drinking anymore we're in man of los angeles we're in jenna and i were in park city we wake up the next day and i'm like who are these people why are they texting me i'm like why did i give my number out like what the heck this one person just still keeps messaging me and i'm like
Starting point is 00:37:05 i i was drunk you were a friend of my friends and i was being nice and whatever but um where am i going with this story i think this is my number did you give your number to the uh girl that was flirting with you no thankfully i did not do you know are you not you don't go both ways um i have okay so why are you waiting for her This girl was hanging all over Sheena. She was stealing it? Yeah. No, we were. She was a little much.
Starting point is 00:37:28 It was like 5 a.m. We ended up with Marshmello at a private party. It was like crazy. Humble brag. I will allow that humble brag. That's a cool one. That is a really cool one. He didn't have his Marshmello head on either.
Starting point is 00:37:40 So we got to see his face. That would weird me out, I think. We talked about all this last week. We don't need to recap it. But anyway, I don't remember why I was talking about giving out my number. There was a point to my story. Instagram is the new way to communicate with people. Oh.
Starting point is 00:37:51 That's what I said. Right. Okay. Okay. So I don't remember what I was going to say. Something about that. I would like to add, since Sheena's blanking here, I'd like to say, I think you should put it on your Instagram, like a poll, and say, if a guy dms a non-sexual like hey nice to meet you is that automatically
Starting point is 00:38:10 inappropriate no i'm just honestly i'm just giving you shit i didn't you did not say anything inappropriate and that is a common way to meet people in 2019 or just you know you still slid in i mean i think the dms the dms yeah i think if anybody slides in they're at least interested i look at it i look at it like when you're part of the bravo fam like i think it's just there's an automatic like we're cool with each other so that i get that little like safe space and okay um to side with you i think it would be bullshit if it's a double standard because i mean i've slid in DMs before. So why is it any different for a guy? Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:38:50 It is. It just is. I feel like this should be normal now. I feel like it's totally fine to do that because you don't have to respond. It's a lot less threatening. And you don't even have to allow the message. So you'd never even know if I saw it because I don't technically have to open it. But you responded that same day.
Starting point is 00:39:05 I still wish I knew where I was going with the phone number story. I don't know. Giving it out too much. I don't know. Anyway, we're all going to get Tamagotchis. I'm so down for this. We're going to throw in another person because I think four. Three, then it's just like one person.
Starting point is 00:39:22 Then, yeah, we need at least like a group of four of us. We're all going to get them. They sell them at Barnes & Noble. I just saw them there. God, where's our Barnes & Noble? The Grove. At The Grove. That's right, yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:32 Yeah, and there's one in Marina Del Rey right by me. Nobody goes to Marina Del Rey. You did. No, I mean, that was like a technicality. Yeah. You wanted to hang out. I saw that episode of Pump, and I was like, I am totally with your castmates on this.
Starting point is 00:39:49 I'm not. Way too far. I thought that they totally exaggerated. And as they were driving around, they passed a bunch of stuff in Silver Lake. And we're like, well, no wonder it took you so long to get to Marina Del Rey from West Hollywood. You're going east. That's the wrong way. Too far.
Starting point is 00:40:01 Can't do it. Well, then I guess that was a fun first and last hang nemo yeah and on a good note where do you live in town beverly hills okay yeah that's not too far from the west side it's where we're at right now i mean i could probably it'd be a long walk but i could be out here yeah well beverly hills i mean unless you're going up in the hills like it is a small area down here for sure but i i stand marina del rey like i love being on the west side i love being by the beach i just the sunsets are beautiful it's so peaceful your place is dope far enough but close enough like you have to admit my place is dope it's a super nice place
Starting point is 00:40:38 yeah and your mom like decorated it amazing yes yeah she did she did a great job erica you rocked it well shout out to the west side anyway so you grew up in la yep as well high school we have all that in common yep what would be like one of your fave like growing up in la like memories stories like like something like you know like hollywood-esque that people who've never been here would be interested in? I, when I was 10 or 9 years old, I think, I was at Toys R Us and I look over and I'm like, wow, that guy looks like Michael Jackson. Stop.
Starting point is 00:41:17 And the employee is like, and like he literally was like, can you please leave? This is when Toys R Us in Burbank, by the way. He was like, can you please leave Michael alone? And he didn't even get to the word alone and i took off at michael like just took off my sit my like six year old sister's like running behind me we get to michael i'm like i'm your biggest fan i grabbed a million the envelopes behind cards i grab one i'm like can you sign he signs he picks mona up puts her on his lap, and he's like, what's your name? And she's like, Mona. And he like sings to her a little bit.
Starting point is 00:41:49 And then my dad is like such a like dorky Persian dad. He's like, are you for real? And Michael was like super weirded out. He was like, yes. And it was like such a like surreal. I still have the like Michael Jackson signature in my house. That's crazy. Wow.
Starting point is 00:42:04 That kind of shit only happens in LA. Yeah. Only in LA. And it's like no one is from LA. So whenever there's someone who also grew up here, I'm like, I just always want to know a fun story. Okay. Mary, Shag, Kill. Let's do it.
Starting point is 00:42:20 Me. Okay. GG. Kill. MJ. Well, okay. Mary, Shag, Kill. it me okay gg kill mj i can't well okay mary um i would have to say mary mj no disrespect to tommy who i love to death but i would say mary mj i would kill g and i would shag you yeah you would if you could no anyway it's a hypothetical right i know i figured it would go that way i just wanted
Starting point is 00:42:44 to see if i was right but at least i answered that question yeah then shervin dodged the shit good no anyway it's a hypothetical right i know i figured it would go that way i just wanted to see if i was right but at least i answered that question yeah then shervin dodged the shit out of that wait did he yes oh he i think he did he was like can i kill myself which is actually pretty funny yeah that was funny yeah that was the best answer still a dodge no no less all right so i have some questions that came in for you other than I want some tacos. Some Instagram fans. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:43:11 Is that your handwriting, by the way? Yes, it is. Can I see it? Yeah. Let me see your handwriting. Okay. I have really girly handwriting. Do you?
Starting point is 00:43:18 Who has better handwriting, me or Sheena? I'm just going to write something. Don't write on that first page. I won't. No. It's a brand new notebook. You're the first person in that. Sure. You can write in my notebook.
Starting point is 00:43:30 I still really want to know where I was going with the phone number story. It's going to drive me nuts. You know when you're telling a story and then you start rambling about something else and you're like, what was I saying? All the time. Yeah, that's pretty feminine. It's really feminine. It's actually quite similar to mine like
Starting point is 00:43:45 you could probably copy i have no interest but i appreciate you telling me that really i was trying to think of something that you might want her handwriting for but i don't think there's anything at tay d mill would like to know how do you stay so calm when dealing with Gigi? I don't fuck with Gigi. You're talking about Golnessa, those two different people. When Gigi turns up, I have no business with Gigi. But Golnessa is actually a big softie on the inside. So I think that you just have to find a way to, like, get through to that person. I've also really never seen Loch Nessa.
Starting point is 00:44:22 Like, that predated me on Shaw. Yeah, that was the early years. And I told her that. I was like, I've never really never seen Loch Nessa. Like, that predated me on Shaw. Yeah, that was the early years. And I told her that. I was like, I've never met that person. I mean, I've seen on TV, but I've never really met that, like, throw. I mean, the worst thing she did was throw a glass in the ground and some glass hit me in my foot. That was it. But I've never, like, clawing out atoms.
Starting point is 00:44:41 I've never seen any of that. I think I personally, Gones is a softie. She just, she's just. I love her. I've never seen any of that. I think I present Gones as a softie. She just, she's just. I love her. She's a dear friend of mine. And that girl is someone you always want on your side because if anyone fucks with me, she will come. She speaks very highly of you.
Starting point is 00:44:53 I love her. Yeah. Beth wants to know if you guys ever hooked up. Never. Never once ever. And I'll tell you why. Because even though I was super attracted to her, it was just one of those things that there was no way it was not going to end very messy.
Starting point is 00:45:07 And I knew that. I just didn't want to like – Don't sleep with your friends, people. Take my advice. I was going to say. Or don't take your advice. Take Sheena's friend's advice. I saw what Sheena did and I was like, I'm not doing that.
Starting point is 00:45:19 Yeah. The opposite. Like how angry is she? It just aired on Monday. What do you mean you saw what I did? You didn't even know me then. No. We talked about this though. Yeah. a couple weeks ago i mean either way i just i instinctively knew that there was no way this was not but the thing is like
Starting point is 00:45:34 g and i were also feeling each other out the whole time it wasn't like we were like burton ernie like we were just feeling it didn't work out like it's fine things don't work out i'm actually glad it didn't i'm glad that it's the way that it is now are you guys still friends uh i will always have mad love for gulnessa i think we're in a very tough spot right now it's shawls of sunset coming back for season eight you have to ask bravo that i can't answer that question if it was to come back would you be a part of it you'd have to ask probably would you like to be a part of it absolutely anybody who says they don't want to come back is lying and full of shit. Like Reza says,
Starting point is 00:46:07 nobody leaves this. This is fun. You're either forced to leave or you choose to stay. The only thing is if you sign up to do this, you have to sign up. And you do a great actually, honestly, Sheena is amazing at this. You have to live the most
Starting point is 00:46:24 uncomfortable parts of your life on camera. No filter. Like talking about your husband's divorce and the addiction and all that. Like that is a 1%. I'll tell you a story. My best friend saw the clip of Sheena having the orgasm on Vanderpump. And she was like, I would die. I would die if this was me.
Starting point is 00:46:41 Well, it's like I got to start watching this show. Well, it's really good, I have to say. So she was like, I would die if this was me. Will's like, I got to start watching this show. Will, it's really good, I have to say. So she was like, I would die if this was me. And I was like, well, that's why you're not on TV. That's why she is because she can just wing it. And I feel like I have that. So, you know, I respect Bravo through and through. But of course I would come back.
Starting point is 00:46:57 You have to be able to laugh at yourself. And you have to be a little self-deprecating. Dude, do you know how many questions I get about that stupid hike with Erica? Like every day. And I'm just like. Oh, that was one of the first things i asked you he broke up with his girlfriend in the shittiest way technically she broke up with me okay whatever yeah so he takes her on a hike they're with their dog they have the leash her dog they whatever they're like not even
Starting point is 00:47:16 at like the bottom of like runyon like they're like just like walking to start the hike like you can still see the car on the street and he's like i gotta tell you something and i'm like oh wow this is like episode two like we're just getting right into it and he's like okay so like i didn't kiss someone but i almost did look let me let me it's like the most dramatic i didn't cheat on you but i wanted to but i didn't do it but i almost did it let me explain you've met erica yes she. Yeah. And she's amazing through and through. Like, I totally fucked up a great thing. That being said, there's no way that I can, like, hang out, go on dates, and play house
Starting point is 00:47:53 if I know in the back of my mind I was, like, flirting with another girl and doing... I had to come clean. Like, I can't have that, like, guilty conscience. But you couldn't wait till the bottom half of Runyon? No, because... Coming down? Why do it i mean i trust me i get it more than anyone i know when you're filming a show when you have
Starting point is 00:48:09 to save certain things for when cameras are there i understand that but why did you think that was a good setting then he like just awkwardly like hands the leash over like well the best part was like halfway through it because sheena's right like there is a dynamic to like living your life on camera halfway through it like a horse walked by and. Like, there is a dynamic to, like, living your life on camera. Halfway through it, like, a horse walked by and, like, spooked the dog. I had to, like, literally stop mid, like, Golnessa. And, like, Erica's just staring at me, like, ready to kill me. And I was like, horse.
Starting point is 00:48:38 Hold for the horse, hon. And I was like, and so anyways, and it was just, it was horrible. And she, Erica handled it like a champ. The thing is, Erica knows her self-worth. So she was like, dude, you know, it wasn't going to like fly off the handle. And it was, Andy told me it was the most awkward breakup in Bravo history. Wow. Wow.
Starting point is 00:48:57 That says a lot. He's like, to say that that was the most awkward breakup is a massive understatement. Yeah. And I'm thinking to myself like, Sheenaena and, like, Sheena that one time. No, I'm trying to think of – Sheena that other time. There was something that Andy gave me that it was, like, the most, like, whatever in Bravo history. I don't remember what it was now, though.
Starting point is 00:49:16 Because I thought maybe you just topped my divorce because I feel like it was that. I mean, how uncomfortable were you watching that? I just felt so bad for her. But I'm like, I completely know what this is like. But it was just like that poor girl. She barely starts filming this show. She probably didn't even want to be a part of it. She's a part of your life.
Starting point is 00:49:34 She did not. And then he breaks up with her and then just passes the leash. And they go their separate ways. And then she comes back in the picture. And then Gigi's there. And they're all at the same table. And it's just like, what are you doing to this poor girl? You're lucky she didn't push you off the top of Runyon when you got there.
Starting point is 00:49:49 I am. She held her own so well in that scene with Gigi. She was a boss. A boss. Did you see when Ari broke up with Becca? And it was, like, that live Bachelor footage where it just wasn't edited and it was raw. And, like, Becca handled that like a boss. That was Erica.
Starting point is 00:50:02 Erica, like, totally just. Erica is, like. Kept her composure. Dude, she has like 12 guys on Raya blowing up and she reminds me of it like every day. I would too if I were her. This morning, she was like, I don't need to answer that question. I have like 12 guys on Raya and they're much better than you. And I was like, that's cool.
Starting point is 00:50:19 Like good talk. Oh my gosh. Yeah. She's like – Feisty. Yeah. Like for me – for us to ever work out long term i'd have to like really move a mountain to make it work now obviously it was gg that who was on
Starting point is 00:50:30 the back of your mind that was like the reason y'all broke up but do you think if you didn't do the show do you think you guys would maybe still be together or were there other girls that you maybe had your mind on no i think that erica and i needed like needed to break up and i had a lot of growing to do which i'm doing i'm the first person to say this and like you and i've talked about this a little bit like i think there's nothing wrong with being selfish in your life i'm in a very selfish place in my life i've told erica that directly i was like you are the girl on top of the pedestal. There's no one's ever going to be like you in my eyes.
Starting point is 00:51:08 But I'm not in a place to like appreciate you like that. And Erica's not going to wait around for me. So that's the problem. Just timing has never linked up. But do I feel one ounce of remorse for like being selfish in my life and living for myself? I was married. I bought into that nonsense. And I'm not disrespecting marriage. It's just not. No no we're all divorced in here yeah like you get it like you go
Starting point is 00:51:28 through the literally we're all divorced here yeah like when you when you like really buy into that like those vows and all that nonsense and like your your whole life molds around someone and it doesn't work it's very easy to be like oh i'm not doing that again a hundred i'm completely okay being selfish i don't carry any stigma about it whatsoever. So when anyone who like talk shit about the hike or whatever, I'm like, when you break up with your significant other on camera with like 12 people watching you, then you can tell me how to do it next time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:56 There's no, there's no like rule book for this. No. I mean, I had no intention of divorcing Shay in the moment I did. I thought in my mind, the way the conversation was going to go. Did you watch that scene? I did. Terrible. No, it was hard to watch.
Starting point is 00:52:12 And then they have Hill's sad music at the end. And he's rolling out his suitcase. It was really sad. Yeah, but you were playing that, though. What? Shut up. No, but when he came over that day day i thought the conversation was going to lead to like a rehab type of situation i thought we were going to be very honest with each other and try
Starting point is 00:52:29 and work through it because i took those vows seriously for better or worse sickness and health and when he lied to my face and i knew a million percent he was lying i was just like i want a divorce like i i just something that switched in my brain in that moment and i had no idea that's where this conversation was gonna go but also i'm like i'm not gonna wait until we're done filming and do this off camera because this is my reality this is what is happening in my life right now like and then i just did it and then recently one of our producers did a podcast and he was talking about this. I said something to him the other day about it.
Starting point is 00:53:08 He said that it was very cold-hearted. Wow. That's BS. He was like – so he felt terrible. I literally – it was the day of my egg retrieval that I'm getting this sent to me from people. So I'm like half under anesthesia still. One of my favorite producers who I consider a dear friend is calling calling me like cold-hearted on a podcast and I'm like dude what the hell like did you see what Shay did before I did all exactly so I like I texted him and I was just like um heard the podcast you did and he was like at his best friend's rehearsal dinner and I guess it just like really messed with him the
Starting point is 00:53:40 entire night he felt sick to his stomach he's like I immediately went home listen to it again he's like I'm so sorry like it was shocking is the word i should have used not cold-hearted because i was like that was my reality like literally in that moment i said should i have waited faked it waited for you guys to leave act like everything's happy like i always do and then divorce him like no i what i was feeling in that moment i put out there and he was like and this is why like you're great for this type of industry because you don't hold back I clearly had an orgasm for the whole world but look this is this is the one dicey situation because like Sheena we signed up for this like the other people Michael Erica they did not sign up for this and Erica has said this to me she's
Starting point is 00:54:24 like I love you but I didn't sign up for this and Erica has said this to me she's like I love you but I didn't sign up for this and so I said like anything that happens in the future with you and me whether it's like you just run my companies or you actually like we actually go get married and ride off into a sunset has to be on camera because I'm choosing to live my life on camera like and if you can't do that with
Starting point is 00:54:40 me then we are just not aligned right now and I'm okay with that and she is too. So that's, yeah, I don't feel any remorse for that situation. Yeah. It's hard, I feel like, to find people from what I've seen with Sheena dating and things like that. It's hard to find people that are okay with filming, but not people, it's like you have
Starting point is 00:54:58 to find the happy medium. You want someone that's okay with filming, but not someone that's dating you so they can get on the show and get TV time. That's why I'm still single. Right. It's hard to find that happy media. I think it's a blessing that her and Shervin have met. I think that it's just going to be, I'm personally really excited to see.
Starting point is 00:55:15 I have to call him back. Add me another call. Well, this has been fun. This has been fun, yeah. Yeah. Thanks for being here. Of course. Well, this has been fun.
Starting point is 00:55:22 This has been fun, yeah. Yeah. Thanks for being here. Of course. I'm hoping for a season eight of Shaws, so I guess I'll just stay tuned for a Bravo announcement. You have deeper connects than I do. Yeah. Ask them, not me. All right.
Starting point is 00:55:35 Well, hopefully it's back and you guys can see new episodes. But in the meantime, you can follow Nima on Instagram at... NimaVand. Simple. What did your last name used to be? You shortened it. Yeah, I used to be Zora Vand. I was in a corporate job and they were like, yo, dude, this is not going to work.
Starting point is 00:55:51 You need a new name. And I was like, what does that mean? Am I like Nima Johnson or like Nima Smith? A business stage name. Yeah, and I was like, I don't even know what that means. And it's like so politically incorrect, by the way. So I just looked at Zora Vand and just cut the first half of it off. Because I was like, go buy Nima Zorro.
Starting point is 00:56:06 And I was like, that's the lamest thing ever. So Nima Vand. And that's been like 20 years now. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Boom. And now it's legal.
Starting point is 00:56:13 It's done. And then my sister like branded it as Vand. And so like, yeah, the Vand name has a deep, rich history of like 10 years. Now it's a thing. So when and if you have kids one day, which last name do they get? I don't want kids. You don't? I don't need kids to feel like it's part of my life calling.
Starting point is 00:56:33 I'm completely content with like a significant other and a dog. If I have kids, I'm open to it maybe. Okay, so it's not that you don't want them. You just don't need them for it. Because I feel the same way. Absolutely. I froze my eggs as a just in case. But if I never have kids and I get to travel the world for the rest of my life, I'm content doing that as well.
Starting point is 00:56:49 I'm not only content doing that. I actually think I might enjoy that better because I'm very selfish. I like to go to brunch on Sunday. I don't want to coach an AISO game. He needs his rosé, you guys. Yeah. Maybe that will change over time. But right now it's not.
Starting point is 00:57:04 So I'm content if I'm with a chick that're just madly in love and travel the world. I'm cool with that. If I had kids, which I'm open to in the right circumstances, they'd be banned. Gotcha. Banned is not going anywhere. There you have it. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:57:18 Well, I got to go call Shervin. So we got to get going. Hi, Shervin. All right, guys. Thanks for listening. Thanks, guys. Bye. alright guys thanks for listening thanks guys bye thanks for listening
