Okay, so it's been a while since I've seen you, so I know you no longer watch Bravo. Oh, right. Is that because the shows got canceled and you're boycotting them?
Starting point is 00:04:47 Well, we don't like to be that harsh on shows like this where they probably listen. Although we're already blackballed, I'm sure. But really, it was just like it got it was sad to watch. It was like not only did we watch Bravo religiously before People's Couch, we also watched Bravo for our job. Yeah. So the job was gone. And then it was like it was just kind of a bummer. Yeah. It was too sad. Yeah. So the job was gone, and then it was like, it was just kind of a bummer.
Starting point is 00:05:07 Yeah, it was too sad. We were just too sad, because it just wasn't fun anymore to watch, because it was like watching the job that you got fired from. No, I get that. There were a lot of shows I had to give up after my divorce because it reminded me of my marriage, so. Right, right.
Starting point is 00:05:20 Different, but similar. Were they on Bravo? Do you watch anything else on Bravo? Not many shows, honestly. I do watch Beverly Hills Housewives, which I probably won't watch anymore now that Lisa's not on it. Right. That's the way to go. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:35 Jersey Housewives. I met all of them. We were actually just talking about this earlier. Season one, when my whole cast hated me, and I'm at the Upfronts event. I don't know anyone. I have never seen a show on Bravo. I don't even know if our show was airing yet. This was a long time ago.
Starting point is 00:05:51 And this really nice guy with a thick Jersey accent comes up and is like, I can't even do the accent. I would try, but was like, what are you doing sitting over here by yourself? You know, like, come on. What are you doing over here? Like that. You're a nice looking young lady. And you should come over and sit with the rest of us. Yes.
Starting point is 00:06:10 And his name was Joe Gorga. Oh, he is nice. We love them. Funny thing is, is Sheena had no idea who these people are. So she's like sending me pictures and asking me, mom, who is this person? Who is this person? And I watch the shows. And I'm sending her back messages.
Starting point is 00:06:24 Oh, that's Joe Gorga. That's this person. So I'm like trying to google there's like no reception like I have very little service I'm like I don't know who these people are but I ended up meeting a very dear friend and amazing makeup artist Priscilla D'Estacio who every time I'm in Watch What Happens in New York on Watch What Happens Live or any event she does my makeup so it was like a lot of good did come out of me being a loner that day. But that was kind of my intro to Bravo. Then I made friends with some of the girls on Shaws of Sunset.
Starting point is 00:06:51 So now I watch that every season because they're friends of mine. Also, that's top notch. Emmy winning, deserving. Shaws of Sunset is amazing. We probably missed that the most. Yeah. So I went on a few dates with one of the guys on the newer seasons.
Starting point is 00:07:08 Who? Yeah, his name's Nima. He's been on the show. We're just friends now, but we did go on a few dates, and they were good dates. We went to some dope places, but we're both on different shows,
Starting point is 00:07:21 and they don't cross-pollinate. Well, see, if you want to be part of this group, you need to have a thick skin. Thick skin. You have to have a thick skin if you want to be part of our group and eat all the time. Here's the thing, Sheena. No. So it wasn't like that. But it didn't work out.
Starting point is 00:07:41 But we're friends. Didn't work out. The guys are hot on that show, I think. So I don't know that we've seen him. I don't remember him. I think the last newest one we've seen is. The Mike's friend? No.
Starting point is 00:07:51 Shervin? Yeah, Shervin. Yeah, Shervin was here too. He asked me out on a date and then never followed up with it. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah, was like talking about which one of his like 17 cars he was going to pick me up in and then it never happened.
Starting point is 00:08:03 But then Nima was was like if you go out with shirvin the number and i was just like okay guys there's enough she know for all the shots for all the cars wow wow i don't know yeah yeah um other than jersey housewives um what else do i i did watch a little bit of Below Deck Med because I met Hannah at a Bravo event and I really liked her so I watched her season but then she told me she wasn't coming back so I stopped watching it but then she did come back I'm like I'm not going
Starting point is 00:08:34 back and catching up on this but when I was in Australia I got to hang out with her in Sydney and that was a lot of fun oh that's cool but you watch them all right I don't watch them all but I do watch more than Sheena I do watch Below Deck, Below Deck Med, a few of the Housewives shows. You watch OC. I don't watch that.
Starting point is 00:08:49 I stopped watching that after Gretchen left because I'm a loyal friend. But I'm not sure if I'll stick with Beverly Hills either now that Lisa's gone. It's like I'm curious and I want to watch it to see what's going on, but also don't care because it doesn't affect my life anymore. Well, we have found that once a certain amount of time passes because we felt that too because we had like a,
Starting point is 00:09:08 you know, withdrawals. And then... Can we like to cuss on this? Yes. You can say whatever the fuck you want. The shit is like drugs. Like it's hard. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:15 It was hard. We were, we went through serious withdrawals. Yeah. We had to find other shows. So we had to go and find like Dance Moms, you know,
Starting point is 00:09:24 Abby's Ultimate Dance Challenge. Old ones. Bravo does it the best, so it's hard. Wife Swap. Not that easy. It's not. It's not. And it's been a challenge.
Starting point is 00:09:32 So you won't get in trouble for saying you guys are dipping if Lisa Vanderpump leaves. I mean, that's evolution, too. I mean, I don't watch every evolution show. I don't watch Real Housewives of Orange County. God, now that's, you know. I mean, listen. Vicky's a friend now, so that was a bummer i mean housewives is going on season 10 so i think they're doing just fine without my view yeah we're diehard we get like one like we like the icons yeah we loved the legends we lived for vicky lived yeah she's so

Did she get kicked off? Like, what happened with that? Because I know I heard things, but I don't know what was true. I mean, from what I understand is that she was demoted to a friend. But she's still on the show. She's on the show. But not holding an orange or whatever they're called. Yeah, she's not holding an orange. Yes. No.
Starting point is 00:10:18 And she pops in, like, every other episode for a little bit. God. But she's going to pull a – she's going to do Countess Luann. Oh, she has to. She's going to do, Bran, Bran, Bran, Bran, Bran, Bran. You know, Luann was only a friend during, you know, not really,

So hardcore. I'm living for it. It's so hard to do. We're trying to go in February. Because you just, you went, or you've been.
Starting point is 00:12:47 Yeah, I might go next month. I just made a new Australian friend while in San Diego a couple weeks ago. So it's going to be like, Sheena's going down under. She's going there. Sheena. A friend with a deke she has? Does he have a deke? Or is it a lady? No deke.
Starting point is 00:13:03 A lady friend or a male friend? It's a male friend. He plays rugby and has a game out there. I was like, do you want to come to my game? I was like, I mean, it's a reason to go to Australia. So maybe. Yes. Yeah, but that accent. This guy, I'm telling you, he looks like Jason Momoa
Starting point is 00:13:19 with an Australian accent. Amazing. Can we tell you on this show, Instant Hotel, what they win is a trip to Palm Springs. Stop. Oh my God. Beyond. Like the city of Airbnb dreams. Right.
Starting point is 00:13:34 It's so dope. Sheena just bought a house in Palm Springs. Well, yeah. So that's where I just ran into Brandy's husband in Palm Springs because he's friends with my good friend, Corey. Good old Corboy. Shout out to Corboy. Oh my god, he literally said he goes, tell them Corboy said hi.
Starting point is 00:13:52 They'll know. I love Corey. He's my fave. Yeah, he's great. He's testing for general hospital. Probably not allowed to say that. No, he did yesterday. She just ran lines with him. We talked about it on my show last week. It's like Corboy's going to get a lot more important to us if he gets into the hospital, not Lyon. So he
Starting point is 00:14:07 came over and ran his screen test with me because it was two different scenes with a woman and he'd only been running it with men. And so we ran it together. I gave him a couple notes. I'm like, obviously I'm not an acting coach, but I'm like, based on the notes you have written on the side, if you do this line, I think
Starting point is 00:14:23 if it says charming, flirty, like, do it a little more. Like, make it obvious that you're flirting with her because then otherwise my line doesn't make sense. Right, like, be less gay. Yeah. Right. Stick your deke out, Corey. Stick your deke out, Corey. Corey, where's your deke?
Starting point is 00:14:39 Where's your deke, mate? Well, we love this one. This is what happens on our podcast. He said it went really well he did it in one take and um yeah he should be finding out soon
Starting point is 00:14:50 so please get on a soap yeah but I'm okay but let me just say when he was over and we were running lines we like took a break
Starting point is 00:14:59 and put on I just got Apple TV which is amazing but I'm buying too many movies it's getting expensive but we put on YouTube on the got Apple TV, which is amazing, but I'm buying too many movies. It's getting expensive. But we put on YouTube on the TV and we're watching scenes from General Hospital and I mean, it was
Starting point is 00:15:12 like cringeworthy. I was like, Corey, just know if you don't get it, it's because you're too good of an actor. You have to do that stare at the end. Yeah, that's so fair. I told him, at the end of the scene, just stare until they say cut or scene. What's this?
Starting point is 00:15:25 Oh, you can't probably say. Yeah. We shouldn't say. It's usually regurgitated sides anyways. Well, and then I asked. I was like, oh, is this a new character? Are you taking over for someone else? And he's like, yeah, I probably should have asked about that.
Starting point is 00:15:36 I'm like, well, yeah, because, you know, one day it could be John and the next day it's Corey playing the same character. They just swap them out. Don't explain it. There was no, like no facial transplant or anything. It was just like, oh, facial transplant. Yeah, they're like, why does Todd look like that? Todd's hotter.
Starting point is 00:15:50 High five, everyone. It's Corboy now. Mandy, I'm back from the hospital. I need to speak with you now. Don't walk away from me. I thought all the hottest guys were on YNR, personally. Yeah. Justin Hartley.
Starting point is 00:16:03 Shemar Moore. Uh-huh. Yeah. Shemar Moore. Yeah. Totally right. Doesn't do her for you. My mom did watch Days of Our Lives. That was her stories. I did grow up on Days of Our Lives. My favorite was
Starting point is 00:16:19 Bo. I thought he was the most handsomest. Then after that, we're reeling in and out Victor Kiriakis? oh yeah Victor Kiriakis but then you know I'm starting now I'm like why do I like Bo and Hope so much I was in All My Children girl
Starting point is 00:16:36 because you're gay because you're a lesbian but yeah Bo and what was the other there was a guy with a patch that was Patch that's his name that was the cheesiest literally's the there's a guy with a patch I never watched days that's his name that was the cheesiest literally Marlena had a desecrator

Starting point is 00:16:58 oh and really yes and my mother would be very upset about it on all my children wasn't there a twin and like one of them like threw the other one
Starting point is 00:17:03 in the well or something like back in the early 90s? That was way back in the day. That was Anne Heche, I think. Oh my god, I swear to god that was Anne Heche that was on All My Children as a twin. Really? I swear.
Starting point is 00:17:15 But what about Santa Barbara? Did you watch that? No. What's that? Well, that was a soap opera. Santa Barbara. I think it was short-lived. Short-lived, but I loved it. Best looking people. Because Robin Wright, Penn, well, Robin Wright at the time, she was in it.
Starting point is 00:17:31 And then there was that Latino guy. She probably wasn't even literally born. I was born in 85. I'm not that young. I just look young. I feel that. Was it in the 80s? Was that?
Starting point is 00:17:42 You looked young because you are young. But you always looked young look at your mom it's probably the Botox I've been doing it for 10 years literally just texted my doctor
Starting point is 00:17:51 and was like need more I don't he said I don't know I thought maybe it was the 90s I don't know

Starting point is 00:18:22 It's like less than 10 minutes from downtown. Wow. There's this cute little like shopping center across the street that has like pretty much everything you need. I mean, there's a bar, there's food, there's a weed dispensary. Is it by the right? What's the shopping center? I guess we shouldn't say because then you're going to get the stalkers.
Starting point is 00:18:37 Yeah. Well, we'll talk after. Okay. Do you find that you're going there now all the time? I try and go weekly if I can. It just depends on my schedule. Yeah. I mean, just for a night. Like Tuesday, she just

Starting point is 00:19:17 No, but we do feel like it. I'm like, we're in Palm Springs. Yeah. When it's hot at night, you can just's like not like here no the last time we were there we were staying stayed at this place and it was just like i was like no i don't like to i don't i love to be in a pool but i don't like anyone to be around because i don't want anyone to look at me and then but at night sounds like my mom i was gonna say it's just like me so i get it you know what i mean yeah like i want my. Don't look at me.
Starting point is 00:19:51 And but at night, it's like it's hot and you can still go in the pool and it's dark and no one's around. It's perfection. We've been friends for 10 years and I've never seen her. We had an Airbnb with a pool and she was out there like, what are you doing? You're not swimming. This is heaven. I'm doing laps. I'm just living.
Starting point is 00:20:03 I loved it. No, but they have the most amazing farmer's market or street fair. What do we want to call it? Oh, yeah. It's like a street fair. Yeah, farmer's market. Yeah, every Thursday night year round. Downtown Palm Springs.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Yeah, never been to that. Downtown Palm Springs. It's so fun. It is. It's amazing. Every Thursday. It's like food and it's so good. And they have like really dope art pieces and like a lot of cool shit.
Starting point is 00:20:23 Yeah, Sheena bought a beautiful piece of art for her Marina Del Rey place and then you ate a cactus tamale for the first time oh my god I ate cactus I've had cactus twice now yeah
Starting point is 00:20:33 actually it's kind of like a pasilla or like a green like a chili pepper and it was so good yeah I was like we gotta go to that
Starting point is 00:20:41 yeah every Thursday I don't know about that and he's like I'm gonna give it to you for free. Will you just try it? And I'm like, I'm not going to say no to a free tamale. I'll at least eat the masa and pick out the inside.
Starting point is 00:20:52 And it was good? It was really good. Yeah. Went back the next week, bought a dozen and stuck them in a freezer. And then you know what? Good old tamales. Someone ate them because I think there's only like two left. What?
Starting point is 00:21:03 Yeah. I don't know. Do you have a bunch of people out to your house? I do. I do entertain there often. Yeah, but not without you. No. No. I don't Airbnb my house. No. This is too much work. Yeah, and it's like
Starting point is 00:21:16 now that I've like fully like moved in like furniture and clothes and like sunglass racks and like all of this like dope stuff, I just don't want strangers in my space. Yeah, you don't of this like dope stuff. I just don't want strangers in my space. Yeah, you don't want them touching your stuff. Yeah, I don't blame you.
Starting point is 00:21:31 It's not my house and I feel the same way for her. Yeah. Someone's going to be all laying on your blankets and stuff. No, it's beautiful though. But do you have someone watching it? Because sometimes I think about going there and just squatting. Oh, okay. Because we're driving I'm like
Starting point is 00:21:45 are these all empty? Because we can just go in there. Yeah but she's also in a private gated community and it's a real tight knit community. Everybody watches out for everybody and she has a full security system too. So gated community. We're driving around the regular streets. And my neighbors live there full time so
Starting point is 00:22:01 there's always people there looking out like if I ever saw something suspicious on the camera I could call my neighbor and be like, yo, can you go check? This is the code. But they're always looking out regardless. The Airbnb laws are, I feel, about to change there particularly. I think it's going to change where it's
Starting point is 00:22:18 like... Well, plus I'm under a strict HOA so it's like I'm limited with what I can do and I knew that when I bought the house but when I walked in I just knew it was the house and I'm limited with what I can do. And I knew that when I bought the house. But when I walked in, I just knew it was the house. And I'm like, if I can't rent it out, I can't rent it out. I still know I want to buy a house. I love the golf course, the openness of the house.
Starting point is 00:22:35 It's just like, it's amazing. You have to come out and see it. Yeah. Oh, we would love to. We go out there all the time. My parents might are considering moving there. So we'll see. But we always, we go out there all the time. Love it.

Starting point is 00:23:02 Yeah. You know what I mean? I had never been to the Nest before, and Corey was like, oh, I'm here with a few friends. West Coast. Yeah. You know what I mean? So I had never been to the nest before and Corey was like, oh, I'm here with like a few friends. Like you girls should come. So we went and I'm like, wait, this place is so dope.
Starting point is 00:23:12 It's like Craig's with a dive bar and then like this like full live band bar attached. But it's not in Palm Springs, right? It's in Indian Wells. Okay. So just a little bit outside.
Starting point is 00:23:22 It's like 20 minutes. Yeah. Yeah. We, I mean, we took an Uber and it was like like there was a line of cars. It was like an older set just getting on down, honey. It was like singles hook up, the Tinder crowd. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:39 And it was like hilarious. Well, that was if you look it up. It says it's like the place for people over 50 who are single to hook up. So we just got a table and was just like, ooh. up it says it's like the place for like people over 50 who are single to like hook up so we were just like got a table and we're just like oh kesha was playing and we were like this is amazing sheena said it was great we yeah we've almost been killed in an uber in palm springs yeah literally i mean bad i had to like yell at the guy i was like pull the fuck over now like seriously we jumped out all three no he was just stupid i'm like how did this guy get a license like at first i'm and i mean i'm i'm high a lot of the time but i had like hit
Starting point is 00:24:11 my pen a few times before dinner and i'm like dude today we're just oblivious like on my phone looking at a cute video of my friend and his kid and i'm like oh my god mom look at just like she i'm like just look at this video really quick the kid's really watching the road because this guy's gonna kill us for reeking out because he had to do like a 10-point turn instead of just a U-turn. And I'm like, whatever. Maybe he just couldn't tell if he was going to hit the planner or not. Whatever. But then he like pulls like halfway into the intersection out of red light.
Starting point is 00:24:37 And I was like, okay, he just needs to back up a little. It's fine. But the third time when he's going like 45 into a semi truck and not slowing down i screamed and i was like pull over now we got out and i was just like and so then i call a lift because i'm like fuck uber i'm gonna call lift so i call a lift and i'm like okay dope bmw i was like oh shoot he's close like one minute away and she's like, Sheena, we just got out of a BMW. I'm like, it's the same guy. He's literally making a U-turn to take us back. He also works for Lyft.
Starting point is 00:25:10 What is with this guy? Oh my god, it was bad. We're gonna die. It's Final Destination. You can't escape. It was bad. Abort mission. Cancel, cancel. Oh my god. I was like, should we just walk? That seems to be the safer option right now. But then it's like 115 degrees outside.
Starting point is 00:25:27 It was so bad. We finally got another lift. I was like, let's just wait five minutes for him to drive away further. Yeah. Because clearly the guy works for both. Yeah. Most often I drive. Next I'm going to call a cab and it's going to be this guy.
Starting point is 00:25:37 It'll be him. Yeah. It'll be like, beep, beep. Hello. He's another different car now. It's just me Sheena's like It's a BMW

Starting point is 00:26:22 Are you getting down On the marijuana? No. I wish she was that cool. She used to be that cool in the 80s. Then she had a baby and made a promise
Starting point is 00:26:30 to never do drugs again. I was like, well, that was dumb. It was 1985. But you drink. I do drink. Yeah. Very, very little and rarely.
Starting point is 00:26:37 Not very often anymore in Palm Springs because I tend to drive now. You know, I don't want to die. No, but even when she doesn't drive, she's like, oh, I might want to have a drink.
Starting point is 00:26:46 And then she'll have a beer. And I'm like, why did we Uber? Why? You can still do it. Because I'm going to pick you up. That's why. It's me. I heard you had beer. No, you can drive on one beer. Oh, I'll drive on a couple beers. No, that's fine.
Starting point is 00:27:01 That's funny. My sister just got an Uber recently. And she said the guy burped or something. And then he was like, oh, my God, sorry. It must have been the sixth pack of beers I had before this. And she was like, wait, what? Like, one, two beers, but six. But it was a joke. I'm sure he was joking.
Starting point is 00:27:19 He was joking. But when she said that, I was like, he admitted that? Yeah. But no, I don't smoke. I did back in the day and I just choose not to it's 420 as we're talking about marijuana listen pot is

Starting point is 00:27:56 okay we love good weed stories on this all right well right, well, here's one for you. Well, we got violently too high at Melissa Etheridge's house. She wasn't there. Her wife was there. Okay. But Melissa Etheridge had cancer, so she had, like, cancer weed, which is different than regular weed. Oh, like super medical, medicinal, whatever. And it was, like, a bong, which nobody even does that. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:28:24 A bong with, like, a pharmaceutical written down the side. Wow. And Julie's like, and it was like her wife and Julie's like, oh, I'm not doing that. And I will do anything. Like, thank God quaaludes aren't around. I'm just like, your pressure. I'm like, okay. I'm like, don't be a dork in front of these people.
Starting point is 00:28:37 And like, I'm like, she's like, we're not going to. I've had a problem. Don't make me do it. Yeah. No, but I'm not doing it. And I'm like, well, do it. So we like share a bong hit and it was like i coughed and then she she was messing with me she was insane who oh the
Starting point is 00:28:53 tammy right and she was like she was shouldn't cough you shouldn't cough our nanny coughed and then she thought she went crazy and had to put a blanket over her head right i got so paranoid and julie thought melissa etheridge was in a panic room. Oh, my God. She wasn't in there. Now, let me set the scene. We're in this room with all paraphernalia in it, with bongs. We're in the smoking room.
Starting point is 00:29:17 The smoking room opens up into the yard. It's dark now, right? The sun went down, but they didn't turn any lights on. She didn't turn any lights on. Not one light came on. So then brandy takes the thing i took the thing i'm you instantaneously fell over now you have a blanket over your head like it they have twin little babies doesn't move now again she's done every everything so i like, so then I go to the bathroom. The bathroom was weird.
Starting point is 00:29:49 It was two toilets next to each other. But it was also like a broom closet. I didn't understand what was going on. Like his and her toilet. I don't know what I peed in. Her and her toilet. Right. And maybe one was a bidet.
Starting point is 00:29:57 I think I peed in the bidet. And then I left. I walked back. And then I was like, I don't, I feel weird. She was like, oh, do you want, do you need to go outside? I was like, I don't know. I don't know. She goes, let's put on t-shirts and go in the pool.
Starting point is 00:30:08 Right. I was like, going in the pool? What is this, turning into a sex thing? Right. And then she was like, do you guys, it was, right. And for, right. Cause then she was like, do you, maybe we should all three get in bed. And I was like, nope, no.
Starting point is 00:30:21 And then do you want to go take a walk? No. Do you want to go on the trampoline no and then i couldn't deal she's like you could have chocolate you get and this a lot of time is going by and i couldn't you weren't getting up i couldn't get stand up i was so terrified because we had never been there before we didn't know her she lived out in like hidden hills oh yeah and so we're dying harman was next door i'm like what's she gonna do come arrest us and put us on law and order and like i drove i had a new car i had an
Starting point is 00:30:52 suv that was a stick shift yes and i was like there is no way they had construction going on they had like a fountain being built like you had to go through a construction site i was like i'm not taking the stick shift through this right we're spending the night yeah but then we were but then because she was i in my mind she was being sexual or whatever but she wasn't paranoid but she but it's just what i'm making up in my head i'm like we got to get out of here she had one shoe on i eat chocolate and then i'm like brandy we got to go she's like you don't have to go you could spend the night and then we make it to the car doesn't turn a light on again and then we sit in the car and cry for an hour wow i wouldn't let julie leave her house we sat melissa
Starting point is 00:31:32 etheridge's driveway for an hour yep and in the car without any lights on and this is why i don't get high and this is why and this is why and this is why we can't we we don't anymore we've tried a little bit here and there but it was a fun time the 80s, it was a fun time, you know? I wasn't with children. I did a lot of stuff. The 80s was the best time to get high. A lot of stuff. I was like, yeah, it's like, okay, I'm down.
Starting point is 00:31:52 Yeah. But, yeah. There was no better time. Yeah. I liked being in control. Well, I wish that my mom would just follow doctor's orders and our doctor, our family physician, has told her, Erica, smoke a bowl. Just to help with my blood pressure, maybe.
Starting point is 00:32:07 Do you live with chronic pain or anything? I do, actually. Oh, then you should. Or CBD. I've tried to do CBD. She's afraid to do anything other than Tylenol or Advil. Which is screwing up the liver. Yeah, and the stomach.
Starting point is 00:32:21 Yeah, it is. I know. But what about just like vicodin or any of that i've never taken a vicodin in my life you shouldn't the opioid epidemic is no i know it is and and but no for reals the reason i wouldn't is because i'm afraid it would work so good i would be that person and i would be addicted yeah i don't think i have an addictive personality but because i do have chronic pain in my neck and my back it would work and then yeah oh no people are like i know i feel pain no one around me is annoying this is heaven yeah like
Starting point is 00:32:51 the minute they take one bite and they're like wow this is you know yeah and the same if i got high i might like it again and i might want to be of course you would like it right don't you get the munchies or no no thankfully i don't you don't. Oh, you're lucky. Yeah. And like, whether it's Sativa, Indica, or a hybrid, it's the same. It's not like one wakes me up, one relaxes me. I try and tell myself that, but I'm like, I don't know what cartridge is in my pen right now. It's not going to make a difference. They're all, I feel like they're all hybrids now anyways, you know?
Starting point is 00:33:18 Pretty much. And then it's like, they're all like CBD and THC and it's like, oh, one's 7 to 1, one's 10 to 1. I'm like, I can't tell the freaking difference. And those are small. That actually is like, oh, one's 7 to 1, one's 10 to 1. I'm like, I can't tell the freaking difference. And those are small. That actually is a really small, you know. We just manage to drink too much to really do. We try to be strategic.
Starting point is 00:33:33 That's true. And, you know, and I have pain, too. So I have been prescribed certain things. Yeah. And I do take them. But we mostly sell them to other people. But then you sell them to other people. As you should. But you keep sell them to other people. But then you sell them to other people. As you should.
Starting point is 00:33:45 But you keep a few. You keep a few. Because that opioid epidemic is real. Because I do have an addictive personality. And I will get addicted to everything. And I am addicted to everything. And like I said, I don't think I do. But I'm afraid that I would.
Starting point is 00:33:58 I feel you. And you should be. Especially if you have the pain and it takes the pain away. Absolutely. Once you live with pain and that one second when you don't have it, you're like, oh. And that's rare. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:09 And I don't have an addictive personality at all unless it's like fuck boys and assholes and somehow I just keep wanting more. You don't. We've been with you and you don't even really, you barely drink. No, I don't drink a lot. But I just, I always, I'm a control freak and I always like being in control. But like when I froze my eggs twice this year when the doctor told me like, okay, alcohol, weed, all of this stops today.
Starting point is 00:34:31 I was like, okay, I guess that stops today. I mean, it sucks, but I was 50 days sober, like didn't have any weed, like nothing. No. Stone cold sober. Now the Sheena eggs are sitting in a frozen. 16. 16. And she's considering doing a third round i know because we only have 16 and although that's a good amount it's not a great amount how many do you need like ideal is 25 oh because once they get fertilized and then it goes through the genetic testing and then they're you know implanted there's
Starting point is 00:35:05 i mean nothing's a guarantee anyway but it'll just give her a little better yeah you never know like i mean women have several miscarriages like i don't know if if i had one i don't know if i would even want to get pregnant again but it's like you don't know until you're in that position what you're going to feel like but i know where i'm at in my life right now don't want kids. Not right now at least. I know if I do find Mr. Right and that is going to be a long term thing and he wants kids I'm probably going to want them because when I was married to
Starting point is 00:35:34 Shay I wanted kids. Then we got divorced and I'm like oh god I don't want kids. But then I started dating Rob and I was like oh I do want kids. And it's like I've been so back and forth that where I'm at right now is back to like I don't. And everyone's like then why are you putting yourself through this? I'm like, I've been so back and forth that where I'm at right now is back to like, I don't. And everyone's like, then why are you putting yourself through this? I'm like, because I know how wishwashy I am.
Starting point is 00:35:49 We watch Vanderpump Rules. I change my mind every day. Tomorrow I might want to be a mom. And then it's like, well, it's too late and you're infertile. And then when your triplets come out, you'll be like, wow, this was a mistake. And we'll come back on the podcast and be like, how are those triplets? Three girls. See, and twins run in our family so that's
Starting point is 00:36:06 scary but my amh levels are so low that it would be close to impossible it would be a miracle if i got pregnant on my own and i'm on the pill so i'm not like worried about that happening but also i just know that if i were trying and in that place in my life that it would be difficult and it would be really disappointing so i think it's difficult for everyone now. Yeah. It's like way, way harder. So are you the only one on the show that's frozen your eggs? Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:36:31 I'm surprised. Yeah, Kristen is the only other one who's considered it, but it's a full lifestyle change that I don't think she's ready to commit to. And everyone else is in relationships. Or doesn't, like Tom and Ariana. I mean, Tom wants kids, but Ariana doesn't. But everyone else, they're on that path. Jackson,
Starting point is 00:36:46 Brittany, Tom and Katie, Stassi and Bo, Randall and Lala. They're all couples who are married or getting married and planning families. And I'm just not there. It's like, I'm on the wrong show to be single.
Starting point is 00:36:59 I need to be on like a love Island show. No, you're on the right show to be single because they're going to, I let's just say abstractly speaking let's say you're on let's just say you're on a show with all couples all couples what are they doing they don't have kids they're gonna yeah but who's gonna be the special one who's gonna stand out the single one or the one who just gets left in the dust no that's not how it is we Yeah. No, no. Yeah. Well, you already, you were the only one married for a long time, right? I got divorced the year Tom and Katie got married. So you were, but you spent all that time, like, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:37:33 So I think you're, I think you're, you're good. There's no leaving in the dust. There's, you know, now they, they have to have kids or break up. Yeah, and you know what? They're all, They're all happy. None of them settled. I felt like, I mean, no offense to Shay. It wasn't right.
Starting point is 00:37:50 I did feel like I settled. Like, I got comfortable. I was happy. I was like, well, he's my best friend, so this is what we should do. We've been together for three years. We may as well get engaged. Like, we're almost 30. And I settled.
Starting point is 00:38:01 And I refused to ever do that again because look at what I had to go through and then two assholes after so I'm like does he have a new girlfriend or is he married he did but uh hasn't for like the last year we had gotten in touch over the past like year a little over a year and saw him twice recently was supposed to see him again he He was coming over for a barbecue. Some of our mutual friends were going to be there. And then he chickened out. He doesn't want to see me. Let's be real. He didn't come.
Starting point is 00:38:31 And he lied and made up an excuse and said he had to go to work. Which he's never done. Yeah, I mean, that was his family. Of all the excuses, I mean, God love him. But come on, he didn't work in 10 years. Why is he going to have to go to work the day he's coming to my house for a barbecue? Let's be real. And I even said, I was like, look, if you're just like nervous to see the fam and you're
Starting point is 00:38:49 not there yet, like that's fine. You can tell me. Like we can just go grab a coffee. But like don't lie and tell me you have to work. Like don't start out this friendship we're trying to build on lies. And I haven't heard from him since. So obviously he lied. I even cut up cilantro for him because he and I are the only ones who like cilantro.
Starting point is 00:39:04 I made tacos. I did that for cilantro for him because he and I are the only ones who like cilantro. I made tacos. I did that for him. Does he think you hate him? I don't think he thinks I hate him because I don't. I mean, I love the kid. He has a great family. I'm the one who gave him a reality check, and I'm the one who kind of opened Sheena's eyes. She saw a lot of signs that I was too blind to see.
Starting point is 00:39:21 Sheena was, yeah, not seeing these things. So I think he probably feels that I'm the cause of their divorce. Which, I mean, he's the cause of their divorce. I mean, like, I think he might be a bit of a liar. You know what I mean? And that's the thing. We like him a lot. And a lot of that had to do with his addiction.
Starting point is 00:39:40 And I get that. You know, I understand that. But I just needed Sheena to open her eyes and see these things this is my daughter I'm gonna always you know be there to help and protect her so I was just letting her see what she wasn't seeing but like after the last couple guys I've dated
Starting point is 00:39:56 or hung out with and not dated whatever we want to call it I just absolutely refuse to settle and like there's someone I'm talking to I mean there's a few. You've got to keep the bench full. Just keep it going. It's like a frying pan.
Starting point is 00:40:09 Until I'm ready to not want number one around, that wouldn't be fair to anyone else to get in a relationship because I'm like, I'm having too much fun with this guy right now. I don't want to hang out with anyone else. I also don't want to make him my boyfriend. But we're having so much fun together. Why ruin something that's going great? Like, you put a title on it, then there's extra pressure.
Starting point is 00:40:28 Then you have to check in every day. Then I'm at a music festival. I don't have service. Then I'm freaking out. Is he still at work? Is he, you know, I'm just like. Yeah. Because everyone's like, why don't you guys just date?
Starting point is 00:40:35 You're so good together. I'm like, why ruin? It's good because it's the way it is. Yeah. And, like. And then you can't go to Australia with the deets. Exactly. See? You gotta just. God, I hope they don't go to Australia with the deets Exactly See
Starting point is 00:40:45 God I hope they don't listen to this They'll see this I hope you're still coming down under Shayna We don't ever know how to do the A's He calls me babe Are we coming down under babe So he sent me a video
Starting point is 00:41:03 On Instagram today. He's with a friend of his who I guess is a fan of mine or knows who I am. Maybe not a fan. I don't know. But he sends me a video on Instagram, and they're listening to my song in the car. And I was like, please don't. I told you. Oh, that's cute.
Starting point is 00:41:15 Don't Google me. Don't stalk me. I know you already scrolled way far back on my Instagram. Wasn't it his sister? Because he had no idea who you were. Yeah, he didn't know who I was. And then she, I guess guess follows me and saw him on my story and was like what are you doing with Sheena
Starting point is 00:41:28 and he's like the girl in San Diego like what yeah I had no idea so that made me like him even more too because yeah and like at first we kind of we met at an after party and like we weren't hitting it off like I was just in kind of a bitchy mood it was like 4am and like someone
Starting point is 00:41:44 was annoying me and then it was like yeah because you weren't hitting it off. Like, I was just in kind of a bitchy mood. It was, like, 4 a.m. And, like, someone was annoying me. And then it was, like. Yeah, because you weren't on any drugs. Maybe I wasn't on enough. Yeah, exactly. How about that? I was coming down at 4 a.m. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:54 But then the next day, my friend Brooke, who I was with, she was, like, oh, she's, like, check your, like, 99 plus DMs because I never check the random ones. She's, like, one of the guys from last night, like, group chatted us. He sent us, like, a cute video that they did, like, as a promo for the club or whatever. And then I saw this other DM right under it. And I was like, huh, I wonder who that is. And I opened it and it was him. And what was the thing that you saw?
Starting point is 00:42:16 Like, you look good last night or what? So, no, he was smart. And, I mean, he only had to stalk one picture because it was me at a football game. smart and I mean he only had to stalk one picture because it was me at a football game but he slid in the DMs by saying next time I'm in LA would love to take you to a Rams game I'm a Chargers fan however I have a friend who plays on the Rams I support my LA teams I love football I'm like as long as the Chargers are away I will absolutely go to a Rams game so I was like okay good move not just like great meeting you last night.

No. I just went for the first time in March. And I wanted to go again towards the end of the year because it's their summer. So I was like,
Starting point is 00:43:26 well, I was planning on being in Bali in October and that's getting pushed and he's like, we could go to Bali after and I was like, hmm.

Starting point is 00:43:43 not like for the show, but just for like vacation. Oh, like you. Oh, we don't go out of the country. If we go out of the country, we're going to freaking Bali? I mean, not like for the show, but just for like vacation. Oh, like you. Oh, we don't go out of the country. If we go out of the country, we're going to Mexico. Yeah, because someone will steal sunglasses from a thing. That's why we love Jax. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:54 That's right. We miss him too. We miss Jax like we miss Jaws. I know. Speaking of sunglasses, actually, have you ladies heard of Reve Reveau? No. Okay, so I'm going to tell you about it. Usually I wear my sunglasses inside. I didn't for your mom because I didn't want her to be like, oh, what has

Starting point is 00:44:26 So it was started by Jamie Foxx, Ashley Benson, and Haley Steinfeld. All super dope people, so you know the glasses are dope. Billie Eilish wears them. That's the reason I started wearing them. But they're great because they're only $29.95, and they look like designer sunglasses. So they're affordable for everyone. Each pair has polarized lenses, which you don't have to pay extra for. They just all come polarized.

Starting point is 00:47:13 done a ton of podcasts over the years we used to be on one called the gayest of all time um and julie we we weren't going to talk about bravo shows or TV because that's just like done a ton. And also it was like Julie was really into politics at that time. And I wasn't. I like like don't like it's like I don't even know like the vice president. It's like I don't care. Like literally. OK, you sound like me. Yeah, I mean, I mean, I do know who the vice president is, but I was at that point.
Starting point is 00:47:41 I'd be like, Carl wrote. I don't know. Yeah. So but she was really into it. And so we initially it was just supposed to be I didn't have to do any work. I don't have to do any work, you know. Yeah. But once you start talking about politics, like you have to.
Starting point is 00:47:56 There's no way of getting around learning, knowing, acknowledging, getting into it. You get sucked into it. Like even I thought I knew something about it. I knew nothing. I knew nothing. I knew the things I was passionate about and the things that I cared about. And I was like a one. Gay stuff.
Starting point is 00:48:12 Yeah. Gay stuff. Late stuff. And I was like super, super, super just, I guess, you know, opinionated and one track minded. And then we started to like get into this. And it's just like. we talk about it like we're talking about reality TV.
Starting point is 00:48:28 Yeah. So it's we're basically like as if we're talking about Vanderpump, but we're talking about true. Like we're like, he's a tool and gross. Right. And, you know, in the closet or whatever it is. But it's like, you know, we don't even know that like three branches of government like we didn't remember that.
Starting point is 00:48:44 We want to give people who feel like they don't have a voice in the conversation. We want people who feel like they hate politics. They're not interested. They hate the news. Where they can catch up with what's going on in the week in a basic, simple, very digestible. Oh, thank you, Suze. Yeah. Funny.
Starting point is 00:49:01 Yeah, you're putting it in layman's terms where people can relate to it. And it's important right now for people to feel particularly right now people feel like i don't know i don't know about that i'm not sure i don't want to i'm it doesn't matter like your opinion matters your voice matters your vote matters you matter yes we all matter and we all have an opinion and a voice on things and you don't need to be a scholar to you know to weigh in on it agreed we're we all have an opinion and a voice on things. And you don't need to be a scholar to weigh in on it. Agreed. We all pay taxes.
Starting point is 00:49:29 So we all have a right to talk about it. Exactly. You know what I mean? And just because you like just how someone looks and what their vibe is. And whoever you're going to vote for, like, I just like that person's vibe. That's your right to be like, I'm using my instincts.
Starting point is 00:49:41 Yeah. And when we do like to talk about it, people look. And politics is like the last bastion of just certainly like, you know, we talk a lot of shit. You know what I mean? We like talking shit. It's fun for us, whatever. But with politics, it's been fun because we are actually getting to talk
Starting point is 00:49:58 shit on people's policy, people's jobs, what they're doing for us. You know what I mean? And people we don't know. It got a lot less fun that's right talking about vanderpump after we met everyone i was like well this is yeah these are real people yeah this isn't fun anymore people you know yeah but this is we don't know yeah we don't know any of them right and they're we're commenting on their jobs and we have on like anthony scaramucci yeah you, Michael Avenatti. Like we just try and get
Starting point is 00:50:25 like, you know, the grossies. We get them on. And we try to. Interesting, real like people. And we're going to try and get on all the candidates and you know what I mean? But we won't. Nope. Yeah. So it's just for people who like reality TV so that they can get the news. Yeah. Nice.
Starting point is 00:50:41 I love that. That's actually what I need. You do. I watch my spectrum news, but that's pretty much, like, local. Local. Once it starts to get, like, global, then you're hearing about murders and wars and all that. I'm like, eh, change the channel. I can't even hear, like, Persian Gulf. I'm like, ugh, gross. What is that about?
Starting point is 00:50:57 But if you listen to the podcast, it'll be, you'll find that it's just, like, easier. We don't just say, like, Nancy Pelosi. We explain who everyone is we don't assume anyone knows right oh see i like that yeah yeah because that's who they told me i looked like a young was it nancy pelosi on watch what happens live i feel like maybe it was nicky haley i know i i mean well nancy pelosi's really pretty yeah no i'm pretty sure because it was like a political andy cohen no it was um i think someone like pretty sure because it was like a political... Who said that? Andy Cohen? No, it was, I think someone called it, we were playing like a game
Starting point is 00:51:27 and of course it was like a political game. I think I was on with Wolf Blitzer or... You were? Yes. Oh yeah. No, I was on... That's crazy. She's also been on with S.E.C. Yeah. So it was one of them who I was on with and I'm like can we please not play a politics game?
Starting point is 00:51:44 So if you're going to do something like that with me then do a pop culture game with them ask them to name the Kardashians from oldest to youngest and name their kids in order exactly you know things that like they always do but they always put me on blast but I feel like it might have been Nancy
Starting point is 00:51:59 I think Andy Cohen was like oh you're kind of like a young I was like well Nancy Pelosi is pretty we love her and she's bad young... I was like, thanks. Well, Nancy Pelosi's pretty. We love her. And she's bad. Yeah. Bad ass. Agreed. I was watching... Well, next time, watch what happens when she throws shade at you and puts Wolf Blitzer
Starting point is 00:52:12 with you. You go ahead. Yeah. Put him on the podcast. He was so nice, though. Like, during the commercial breaks, he's like, don't worry, sweetie. He's like, you're doing great. Like, he's like, I didn't even know one of those answers.
Starting point is 00:52:22 I think he was, like, saying that to be nice. Yeah. He was so nice. And I just, like, I didn't feel dumb one of those answers. I think he was saying that to be nice. He was so nice. I didn't feel dumb. Essie Cobb was a fan. That was fun to do. She's young and cool and hip. I had fun with it.
Starting point is 00:52:35 No one should ever feel dumb if they don't know that crap. That's right. I'm sorry. That's not in my realm of interest. Yes, I live in this world and I should care about it, and I do, but I care about things more so that affect my life
Starting point is 00:52:49 and the people around me directly. And all of the things going on in the world, it's like, I wish I could solve all the problems, but I can't. But you know who is? Kim Kardashian. So problem to her. Let her go to paralegal school
Starting point is 00:53:00 and deal with it. That's right. That's right. You know, if I had 200 million followers i would do the same so i think the shame around that stuff needs to stop we all just need to be as you know watch our things that help us relax and then i didn't even know i'll say where's north korea i lived in tokyo for three months i didn't even know where north korea is it's right there i'm like i'm not gonna feel ashamed i don't know where dumb north k's right. No one should feel ashamed for not knowing something
Starting point is 00:53:25 they don't know. The only reason you don't know it is because you don't know it. Yet. Yet. There's always a moment for you to now know it. You don't know it yet. And that's the same thing with people who, anyone who wants to ask a question, I always said this too about like gay stuff. They're like, you know, isn't it annoying when people say like, let a teen girl see any other.
Starting point is 00:53:41 People don't know. So it's not a stupid question because any question is a good question because they're just trying to educate yourself exactly so why would you deny anyone or stop a conversation of somebody who just wants to know something no question is dumb there's no and i mean granted there's hate and there's you know there's ignorance sure and there's whatever gross intentions but i don't think any question is dumb. We don't. I love that.
Starting point is 00:54:10 Because I probably have a lot of what would seem like dumb questions. But especially around election time, I'm just like, look, mom, obviously I'm going to vote. We pretty much believe in the majority of the same things other than our love of weed, which you just can't agree with me on. But that's already passed here. For the most part, we do share a lot of similar opinions. So I'm like, can you just kind of break down what each person stands for for me? Make me some bullet points and let me study that
Starting point is 00:54:34 instead of just watching a four-hour debate. I'm like, I'm tuning out. I'm thinking about what I'm going to wear on the bar at Sir the next week. I'm not paying attention. We're looking at someone's weird fake teeth. We're like, come on. I'm not paying attention. We're looking at someone's like weird fake teeth. Yeah. I might put in like a Snapchat filter on them. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:48 We'll do that. We'll be like, I can't believe it's Paula. Is that a wig? Is that a toupee? Wow, that's weird. Yeah. But yeah,
Starting point is 00:54:54 that's what we do. That's pretty much what we do. Just listen to it. See, I mean, your mom's helping you. As long as you have someone that you trust. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:01 You want it broken down. You want the bullet points. And that's what we try and do. No, I'm definitely going to listen. Love that. You know. Yeah. Yeah. it broken down. You want the bullet points. Yeah. That's what we try and do. No, I'm definitely gonna listen. Love that. You know. Yeah. Yeah. I'm glad your mom's gonna listen. She's always been more supportive of us than you. No, I love you. Oh, whatever.
Starting point is 00:55:14 We need to hang out more. Come to the west side. I know, we do. The west side. Let's take Corey's boat out. Let's do it. Before it gets too cold, let's take the boat out. We definitely want to hang with you. I act like it's our boat. Yeah. I love Corey.
Starting point is 00:55:27 Yeah. Let's do it. Have I told you how much I love Corey? I know. 15 years. She loves Corey. I get it. Corey boy.
Starting point is 00:55:33 We'll probably get married one day. I hope so. Until then. Good. Especially if he's on GH. You know what I mean? I wish all my children were still around. That would have been a dream job.
Starting point is 00:55:43 But anyway. Well, anything else you ladies want to mention before we wrap this up? We love you. You're our favorite. You were our favorite on the show.
