Janet's here with me. Hey guys. Alright, I hope you enjoy. This party's got me all chagged up Let's play a game of Fuck, Marry, Kill.
Starting point is 00:01:40 Okay. Chag, Marry, Kill. I hope Rob isn't in this game. You can kill him all right first one yes tom tom and jacks okay i've given this a lot of thought because at first i was like you thought schwartz was hot i saw on one of the season recaps you were like tom's hot right right things change no i i still think he's good looking but it's hard for me because like when you ask me about marriage i take it seriously yeah i'm like
Starting point is 00:02:11 who would be and i'm like wait but schwartz and um sandoval were caught doing shitty things so was jack so was jack but i'm saying jack's obviously jacks no but jacks no but then my two so jacks for sure but then my two other options also fucked up you know so what i'm thinking after uh contemplating this is fuck jacks i'm assuming that he knows what he's doing you know what i mean i'm assuming someone said i think one of my gay guy friends said this to me the best he's like Jax will fuck you better than Schwartz will like he said that and I was like okay that kind of makes sense
Starting point is 00:02:51 Schwartz has a classic penis oh I heard that he has a big no he calls it a classic dick because Katie's like made jokes that he has a small dick he goes it's just a good classic dick you know I think fuck Jax even though I'm like picturing it right now and I'm not sure about it. And I think I'd marry Tom Sandoval.
Starting point is 00:03:11 Okay. Yeah. And at that point I'd kill Schwartz, which I kind of feel bad about. Aw, poor Schwartz. Wow. Why? Is that like a weird? No, because honestly I was thinking about it.
Starting point is 00:03:20 What were you thinking? And I'm like, I'll just, I would agree with you with Sandoval. You would marry Tom. Yeah. Because was that Tom cheating thing ever the Miami girl? I don't believe Miami girl. No, that never happened with it. This girl was trying to get camera time.
Starting point is 00:03:35 That ugly girl? She got it. Like, come on. If Sandoval. Sorry, that sounds mean. No. I just meant like out of nowhere. Well, yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:41 Like this like. When you're dating Ariana, you don't. Yeah. You don't cheat ever because she's amazing. Yeah.'t even ariana was like who dat like she didn't care yeah because like i'm not even gonna trust your man then why are you gonna give any light to these rumors it was just like so that was a non-thing yeah okay so see mary sandoval i didn't even believe that as a viewer but i think sandoval is really amazing to ariana and i yeah he's so i'm watching the episodes now where like he's talking about babies all the time and i kind of feel for him just
Starting point is 00:04:11 because like that's so funny because i've never once heard sandoval talk about a baby and you see it all the time on the show and then i'm like i've never seen i talk sandoval devy is the guy who's like at karaoke too late no just because like you not i don't if if if someone says they don't want kids that's fine someone does that's fine but you kind of need to be on the same page with your partner or else like you're looking at a few years and you're both like wait what i mean and they both knew where each other stood on those like life situations when they were just friends so he knew going into it that she never wanted to get married or have kids. But I think maybe he just thought like, oh, but one day it'll change. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:50 You know, fast forward five years. So you think it's not going to change? I don't. Ariana doesn't want to be pregnant. That's the thing. Could I see her being like maybe a stepmom or like to like an adopted baby or something like that yes i just know she just doesn't want to be pregnant she doesn't want to get married but you know what some relationships who aren't married work out the longest yeah no i mean the marriage thing isn't the thing but i think the kids thing is like if you if if let's say tom wants kids and she doesn't and then it keeps like kind of uh stringing along the time then it comes to a point where you're like oh wait fuck and you don't want him like regretting
Starting point is 00:05:30 it you don't want her doing something she doesn't want to do um i have two more scenarios for you still oh there's more i thought that was the main one okay nope that was the first one okay so well what did you say all you said wait sorry you said mary sandoval so where are you fucking this is your game. I just said I agreed with you on one of them. On one of them. Okay. So you're not going to say who you're going to fuck or who you're going to kill?
Starting point is 00:05:50 Nope. Okay. Fine. James, Peter, or Guillermo? Ooh. What? You don't think Guillermo's hot? Dude, Guillermo's so hot.
Starting point is 00:06:01 Hey, did you talk to him last night? Did you hear his accent? He's always like, hello, hello, how are you doing? No, no. Here's a champagne. Okay, so you talk to him last night? Did you hear his accent? He's always like, hello, hello. How are you doing? No, no. Here's a champagne. See who you guys would fuck. Wait. James, Guillermo, or Peter.
Starting point is 00:06:11 This is hard. I love all of them. I know. That's a good one. I'd have to kill James. Oh. R.I.P. James.
Starting point is 00:06:18 No, if it's between marrying him or having sex with him. Shit. So am I having sex with Peter shit so am i having sex with peter or i'm marrying peter fuck uh well okay guillermo's already married if that helps what do you mean like it's pretend i can marry guillermo meaning he's a good husband okay that's what i'm saying but peter would be too yeah yeah peter's so loyal and like shows up you know he's at sir still if you're cool having like star wars marathons for the rest of your life marry peter no i'm not no so i'd marry guillermo have sex with peter peter's buff peter is but yeah buffness or did he like no he's like
Starting point is 00:06:58 no looks good with the shirt he's looking good really i'm like is he getting is he getting like girls and stuff peter has no problem getting girls. Really? Yeah. Cool. I don't know any girls that he's been with, but I know too many. I was like, I literally, like when he was here last week, I was like, wait, I go, okay, so there's playboy, there's girl with kid, there's OC girl, there's random girl. I'm like, I don't know their names. I just like, no, because there's so many I can't keep track. Like the other day I was watching an episode with him and he's like, so what are we doing? girls with titties you know he said something like that the other guys would say and would sound like like playa playa and with him i'm
Starting point is 00:07:33 like peter that's so funny he was not you i would never talk about a girl's boobs but i do need a good set of titties no there was an episode too where you guys were playing like spin the bottle or some shit and him and stassi were making out and it was a no bueno they dated i know but the make out there was like a zoom with a bachelorette like don't you watch them like make out yeah i hate watching people make out i hate it too but i but i do it and i like i'm like looking i'm like is there a tongue and like like he would like he would like lizard in the tongue. Colton. And I'm following that relationship.
Starting point is 00:08:10 What do you think about it? Oh, for sure. Yeah. We had him here. It was right the day after the first episode aired. Oh, my God. So I already actually knew the outcome because I always find out before the end of the season. How do you find out, Gina?
Starting point is 00:08:24 Either I have friends who work on the show or I become find out before the end of the season. How do you find out, Gina? Either I have friends who work on the show or I become friends with someone who was on the show or I just read Reality Steve. He's always right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you knew. So I knew, but he is such a sweetheart. He looks sweet. And I just think she was like my pick from the
Starting point is 00:08:39 beginning. So when I found out it was her, I was really happy for him. I mean, she was my pick in the sense that I thought she was this like perfect goddess of a woman. But I don't think, I still don't think she's so, I mean, an anti-lawyer who is, I'm giving him a shout out right now. He does, like, he finds out shit about, like, Hollywood stuff. And he's saying that they still didn't have sex. I saw it today. Yes.
Starting point is 00:09:01 I don't know if I believe that. I kind of believe that. I kind of believe that. How? If he waited for so long yeah that's him but like she has already had sex yeah she's just not i mean it doesn't seem like she's so like attracted to him i'm telling you guys it's not gonna last for that long to any he forced her he forced her into a relationship what do you mean he was like be with me be with me she's like no and he's like yes last scenario rob shay wait which rob or adam oh her exes oh not robbie no rob shay and adam sheena what's your i know mine you would still marry shay right yeah okay i think i'd marry shay too
Starting point is 00:09:47 i just have to pick oh duh kill rob thank you adam what are you getting what are you i thought that was an easy one wait is shay doing good yeah good yeah he's doing really well what i think did you put up a while ago like a snap of you and him? Or like not a snap, an Insta story. There was like something. Yeah, we were in Paris. It was in front of the Notre Dame. But you put that up like a little bit ago. Yeah, it was like whenever the fires happened.
Starting point is 00:10:15 What was that, like a month and a half ago? It was an old photo. Yeah. Yeah, it wasn't current. It was when we went to Paris. But the only photos I had in front of the cathedral were with him. And I was like, we're on good terms like yeah so I didn't feel weird posting it
Starting point is 00:10:29 if him and I hadn't spoken and like it still was like on like terrible terms I wouldn't have posted that but we're in a really good place now where yeah like I kind of want to like have him around a little more so yeah just as friends like totally no I kind of want to like have him around a little more. Yay. So yeah, just as friends.
Starting point is 00:10:45 Like totally. No, I don't. I really like whatever people think. It's like I don't want a relationship right now. People think I'm so like boy crazy that I just like want to settle down. I'm like, no, I don't. They're like, no, but you're the type of person. I'm like, I know what type of person I am.
Starting point is 00:11:02 And I know the type of person I am right now wants to keep having fun with the people I'm having fun with yeah and I can't just pick one it's a hundred percent people I think when you get to a certain age people like think that you need to like get married no and that's why I'm freezing my eggs it's like come on like we don't have like it's 2019 we don't have to do that if I wanted a boyfriend you know who and you know when it's gonna happen is what like it the way it happens for people is like the way sheena is right now it's like when you're least expecting it you're not hungry for it you're living your life and then like if you meet someone amazing and that works out then it does and if you know um and and that's how i think it'll happen yeah and anyone right now who i've met who like is amazing is
Starting point is 00:11:46 just a friend because i don't want a boyfriend right now if i like even if someone that amazing came along they'd have to be you know get to know each other first yeah like take that time like that was the thing like if adam and i would have worked out it would have been like the best love story because we literally started as homies. We were best friends. We did everything together. I was there for him when his girlfriend and him broke up, when he needed to go fly to the Southern state because his girlfriend, it was just like all of these things. Like we went through so much together. We like, there was a night that he sat in my condo in Vegas and cried to me about something
Starting point is 00:12:19 that he was going through. And then the next night I was crying to him about Rob. And it was just like, we had such a deep connection that the night we hooked up it seemed like okay we shouldn't have done that the next day but then we did it again and then again it was just like I felt like something was going to develop because we're like I mean we started out as best friends like that's how all the best relationships should start out but if you're going to sleep with someone who is a close friend if it's not going to lead into a relationship, don't do it. And I really did see something developing.
Starting point is 00:12:50 But then it just we were in very different places in our lives. I mean, we're only four years apart, but it's a big four years. Oh, really? From 29 to 33. That's a big difference. I changed a lot. I was married at 29, divorced by 31, single by 33. So it's like we just
Starting point is 00:13:05 are in very different places in our lives but like after our conversation this morning like we've figured out how we can get back to being friends again we can't hang out five days a week we can't talk every day janet janet is not you're not your number one fan not a fan i've seen i've seen too much of the highs and lows and ups and downs and backs and forts yeah but you don't really get to see his personality so much on this show. So I don't have an opinion. Wait till the finale. What? Really? Stop. Right now he's like... Just let's just say
Starting point is 00:13:32 the only explosive thing in the finale is Adam. And I. Mostly Adam. Yeah. I'm so excited. Yeah, so I don't want to spoil it for you, but... That's so nice of you. Yeah. That's it people i've had people like dm me be like jack's cheats on britney bye like before i knew because i wasn't
Starting point is 00:13:52 following anybody until they have a happy ending yeah yeah true true i'm happy i'm wedding next month so excited that's exciting yeah where's that happening in kent Kentucky at a castle yeah that's I think if I allowed to say that yeah I think it's out there now okay um yeah so I'm really excited for them but I just think anyone who I would maybe see potential future with like if I meet someone new right now taking it extremely slow we can be friends like I have a person who I'm hanging out with right now that it's not going anywhere, but that's the point is we know what we're doing and we have fun together when we hang out. But I, and I don't want that to end yet. So I don't want to settle down with someone else. I don't think I'm going to settle down with him, but it's just like, I'm in a place
Starting point is 00:14:41 right now where I'm still having fun. And if I do meet someone who seems like they have that potential, cool. Then let's just get to know each other and become really good friends. And see if, you know, maybe six months from now, maybe a year from now, maybe never. Maybe we stay best friends. But I just know I am not rushing into anything again. I'm not going to just spread my legs for a hot guy if there could be something more one day really hot unless they're magic mike no but i mean unless it's like vegas but i think that means that you like learned from your like quote unquote mistake not yeah
Starting point is 00:15:16 no it wasn't a mistake sleeping with adam it was a mistake it was also thinking like no it was but it was also kind of like low-key inevitable to happen because we were attracted to each other no how is that a mistake they're both hot they're hanging out all the time they're single like it kind of ruined our friendship it ruined our dynamic it like it just it fucked up everything you're like you'll see amanda yeah you'll see but i was more meaning rob because like when you got with rob i know i know i was i was like vomit emoji all over him the whole time. But I think I heard you talk about it somewhere where you were like, yeah, I was really positive, you know, outwardly about my relationship with him because I was trying to make that, you know, because you did kind of get into a relationship with him quick after Shay. And then so it made sense to me.
Starting point is 00:16:03 Like and then now you're learning again, you know, and it's all like that kind of like learning. Yeah. That's why I just, I don't want to rush into anything. I'm 34. I'm divorced, as we all know. I'm doing a second round of freezing my eggs. So that's just something that.
Starting point is 00:16:18 Why is there a second round? Because we only got nine the first time and they're not embryos. They're just frozen eggs. Because we only got nine the first time and they're not embryos. They're just frozen eggs. So you don't know if any of them are even viable until they're fertilized, genetically tested. So to have, say, I want two kids, to have two out of those nine eggs be perfect is more of a slim chance. Wait, Gina, isn't that like more of a big deal?
Starting point is 00:16:41 Like, isn't it? It's hard to go through this part i mean it's like hormones and and yeah it's huge it's shots every day in the stomach yeah so right now i'm in the like transitional period where i'm cutting out liquor slowly i why do you have to do that just liquor weed there are just certain substances that you put in your body that can affect your fertility levels and when i'm going through this i'm supposed supposed to only have, if I want to drink wine, champagne or beer occasionally, no more than twice a week. I can't smoke any weed at all.
Starting point is 00:17:13 But you're like into weed, right? Yeah. I sound like such an, I'm like you're into, wait, I just noticed she's following 420 people today. Is that on purpose? I'm a stoner at heart. No, if I follow someone new, I have to unfollow someone and it's getting hard but um no so i just uh wait now i'm losing my train of thought no so i did i went surprised you were okay i went 50 days no liquor no weed and i was fine
Starting point is 00:17:37 and it actually the best thing that came out of that the hardest part was not having sex with adam but the best part and the best thing that came out of it other hardest part was not having sex with adam but the best part and the best thing that came out of it other than you know getting nine healthy eggs that hopefully turn into healthy embryos one day was knowing that i don't need a crutch of tequila or marijuana or xanax or anything like that to get through shit i had no choice i'm like i'm doing this and i'm doing this for my future so i don't want to fuck it up i want to do it the right way and if the doctor tells me i have to cut all this shit out then i have to cut all this shit out so how do you deal with like stress and like anxiety acupuncture acupuncture yep i did that twice a week and that really really helped i worked out up until the
Starting point is 00:18:21 third day of shots and you can't work out for three weeks so during those few weeks i mean i had like one or two like emotional meltdowns but it actually it wasn't really hard on my body i didn't really put on that much weight i put on like maybe seven pounds of water weight that was gone in a week and it just it was something put on water because after you do the retrieval all of like the fluid from like your bloodstream goes to your ovaries and it bloats you so that was like the only thing but it just it really wasn't that hard of a recovery for me i'm terrified that this time i'm going to have a complete different experience i don't know i just i mean we we weren't filming then like i wasn't filming i. And now you're filming.
Starting point is 00:19:06 I wasn't. I was just in a different place in my life. Like, I had the whole month of January where I didn't have to travel anywhere. I didn't have anything really going on. I was just chilling. And, like, now it's summer. I have, you know, the Bachelor Bachelorette Party coming up, Britney's Bridal Shower, the wedding, 4th of July,
Starting point is 00:19:24 like, all of these things coming up. So why'd you decide to do it now? Because the i get the harder it's gonna be and if i don't do it now it's i'm just gonna keep putting it off that's why i just like there's always gonna be something yeah there's always something and i'm like i'm pushing it until after the wedding because i just i know i'm gonna probably want to have a glass of champagne to do a toast. Like I might want to do a couple shots in Miami. Like, but you're not like, I feel like you've never been like a huge, one of the huge drinkers on the show. I'm not.
Starting point is 00:19:51 And that's the thing. I'm really not a big drinker. You're not like shot, shot, shot. No. Yeah. But I just know, like, I want to have fun with my friends for the next month. You want to be able to have like a glass of champagne. So this is kind of like my transitional time where I'm, I'm not drinking as much.
Starting point is 00:20:09 I'm driving more places because then it's like i'm not even tempted if someone's like just have one shot i'm like oh i drove and i'm freezing my eggs no one is gonna try and convince you to drink when those are the reasons so like last night we were at a birthday dinner everyone's like do your shot and i'm like freezing my eggs so what do you have like a soda yeah something yeah and lala's sober now too. So like we will have like sparkling water when everyone else drinks champagne. A shot of apple juice when they're doing tequila. And I don't, I don't like being drunk. I drink socially.
Starting point is 00:20:35 And you like being high though. Yeah. Because when I'm high. I'm too anxious to smoke weed. No, when I'm high, I don't have girl brain. It doesn't exist. I'm rational. I get mad at myself for crying over the dumb shit I cried about two hours ago when I wasn't high.
Starting point is 00:20:49 So it's like good for you. It is. That's fun. But it's bad for fertility. So like I just had to stop taking birth control again. And now I'm slowly. Wow, it's fucking up your shit. It is.
Starting point is 00:21:01 I know. Sex is probably the hardest part to get. It is. It is. it really is but i don't know but no condoms are a no-go yeah no i use condoms absolutely but when i'm going through shots you can't even take that chance because i'm literally making myself fertile like i'm producing multiple eggs and like i could get like octomom pregnant like for real so it's like those three weeks what does that make for a
Starting point is 00:21:26 great season eight no oh my god but like for those three weeks like i just she knows octomom i can't have sex i but giving up the substances like that's not even that big of a deal because i mean you would have done it if you were pregnant exactly so i just treated myself as if i was pregnant and i just even being single going through all this i'm like i'm still optimistic i'm still open i'm not this closed off bitch with a wall up because my heart's been broken more than once i am doing this because i really do think the right guy is gonna come along whether that's and then he'll be like don't worry i have my ex frozen it really gives you such a like insurance to not be like because i feel like
Starting point is 00:22:06 when you when people like there wasn't this like technology it was like hey what's up like tick tock now you have this and it's like gives you the like um confidence to be like i'm not in a rush because i have this yeah and i mean let's say i don't meet the love of my life till i'm 40 and the doctor says it's not safe for me to carry a child. You get a 24 year old gestational surrogate and it's still my baby. Right. You know, so there's so many options and I just, every time that it was hard for me going through it, I just told myself like, this is for my future.
Starting point is 00:22:37 Like I'm doing something super selfless right now for my future and I'm not going to regret doing that. You're not going to regret doing that. I may never use them. I may get pregnant on my own. Right. But this is the best backup plan for someone who I don't even know if I want kids, honestly. Really?
Starting point is 00:22:52 Like I'm fine living my life traveling the world. But you're doing all this and you don't know? Because if I do meet the right guy and he wants kids and I didn't do this now, then I'm going to be so mad at myself five years from now. I know myself well enough to know that I have every opportunity to get it done now. I'm not getting any younger. So, like, why not? And I just think it's important for women to know that you can just freeze eggs.
Starting point is 00:23:15 I think a lot of people think you have to freeze embryos. And as much as there's a better chance of those being stronger once, like, implanted, it's not necessary. You can just freeze your eggs and figure it out later. So it's not like they're going to go bad because they don't have sperm in them. Yeah. No, I've heard about that a lot. I've, I've actually interviewed someone on my podcast, um, recently and she, I think she's 36 and she was freezing her eggs and like she isn't, wasn't the same place as you are.
Starting point is 00:23:44 Um, you know erin foster yeah she's super cool oh my god i loved their show when it was on i know i told her i was like bring it the barely famous yes they were so funny so she was the same way she was like i froze my eggs and then like one day at the gym i met who is now like the love of her life and like you know she's 36 i think and she was like amanda i wasn't she's like in the same place as she was like i wasn't i didn't meet him and i was like like marry me like i think you get to a point because i mean for me too like when i turned 30 i was like happy to turn 30 yeah like you you you have yourself more figured out you know what you want you know what
Starting point is 00:24:20 you don't want so i really think that the older like especially women get like we just have our shit more together and like figure ourselves out and you're making sure like that whatever you want to do later you can do and that's amazing i think that's really awesome yeah so no regrets um but good for you that sounds i mean i'm scared shitless to get pregnant because of like i want to like like everything Cause I'm anxious as fuck, but also like the not drinking, not going out and not this and that. It's like, and I'm not going to be one of those women. I'm like, I'll be to my husband. Like you're not drinking either.
Starting point is 00:24:53 Like, what do you think? You're going to keep living your life and I'm going to be like stuck at home. No, I usually like, I have a couple of friends who are sober. So like, I just kind of clung to them a little more. Janet said she'll go sober with me. Janet? I need a Janet in my life. What the hell?
Starting point is 00:25:10 She goes everywhere with you. She goes – gets sober with you. It's not a bad – She breaks up with her boyfriend. Do you know what I'm saying? Well, no. Do you also live on the west side? No.
Starting point is 00:25:19 I live in Hollywood. But I'm thinking about going to the west side because I do really love it over there. And they're both all – I mean everybody. Everybody that I hang out with on a daily basis about going to the west side because I do really love it over there and they're both all I mean everybody everybody they hang out with on a daily basis is normally on the west I could see living here on this side for a while and then wanting to like because it's quieter where you are yeah yeah it's an older crowd it's just like yeah it's not more do you like New York I love New York and that's one thing that Janet's not very happy with me about but I want to move to New York next year for at least like six months and just experience that.
Starting point is 00:25:48 I've always wanted to, but I want to like have a show or something, whether I do my sex tip show off Broadway in New York or whether it's, you know, like a news show or a reality show, Vanderbilt rules. I don't know, but I want a reason to move to New York next year um I'll be waiting for you there for real I'm I was just saying that to my husband here I was like I wish it would have worked out to me for me at some point to have lived here too because it's like it's so nice to experience living in different places but I think New York would be really cool for you and especially after living in Vegasgas like i know i can live somewhere else and be okay yeah
Starting point is 00:26:25 i would never for my first move if i were ever moved like go all the way to new york and go to the east coast that's such a huge i can't just drive home to see my mom if i wanted to right so vegas was close enough it was in less than hour flight it was a four hour drive yeah that was like a great first move for always only living in southern california but now i'm like i was when i was there for Watch What Happens Live. It was I've been going to New York since I was 18. And out of every time I've been in New York, it was the most gorgeous day I've ever been there. When were what?
Starting point is 00:26:56 What month? This was April 23rd. April 23rd. Yes. And my mom and I were walking around and it was just it was sunny. It was not too hot. It wasn't humid. It was the most perfect New York day. And I was like, something just came over me and I was like, I want to live here next year. It's going to happen. I'm manifesting it. So you always film
Starting point is 00:27:14 in the summer. So you would have to come in like the winter. No, I mean, well, who knows? Like, I mean, we never know. You would never survive a New York winter. I'm from Ohio. You would never survive a New York winter. I'm just saying right now. Yeah. I'm from Ohio. You would never survive. I wouldn't move to New York in November. Like, no. I would want to move for, like, probably, ideally, living there, like, March to August would be ideal. But, I mean, we don't know if we're going to have, you know, season 9, 10, 11. Of course you freaking will. You'll have season 89.
Starting point is 00:27:43 Yes. Well, I don't know. Maybe we film in New York. Maybe. I don't know. Maybe well I don't know maybe we film in New York maybe I don't know maybe I don't know I love Chrissy Teigen's tweet about this she's like when you love something put it out there tweet about it say it out loud put it on your story she was like I love Vanderpump
Starting point is 00:27:57 rules you ever think that shit's getting cancelled it's never getting cancelled I'm like yes Chrissy I'm with you but I mean even if it wasn't for a full six months to just even be able to go out there for a few weeks and film something, like I just I really want to be out there for an extended
Starting point is 00:28:14 period of time. That's kind of what I felt with LA is like, I really like it here and I always knew I would, but it's not a place to like come be like a tourist as much. You know what I mean? There aren't as – I mean there are touristy spots, but those aren't the best spots. Right, right.
Starting point is 00:28:30 It's more to – I could see how it's like beautiful to live here. Like it really is and the weather and everything. But I feel like coming here to be like a tourist, I'm like, do you want to go to the Griffith Observatory? And my husband's like, no. I feel like we need to do some things. See some spots. Yeah, we were in Santa Monica yesterday. And I walked the freaking whole pier.
Starting point is 00:28:53 I love doing that. I always do that. It was so long. I walked more than I did in New York. But when you get to the end of the pier, you get margaritas. Yeah, we did. We did. We did get margaritas.
Starting point is 00:29:03 I love my tequila. For real. Oh my gosh. I can't do tequila. last night i know and i hated it really they say it's like the best liquor for you oh it has like the least sugar the least i only drink champagne really that's like model diet right yeah and she's still skinny it's like i don't get it she if you don't ask questions, then it just like happens. Wait, you had some, you did like a book, right? Like a slim down. My trainer wrote it, but it was about my transformation. It's not like you were like big before.
Starting point is 00:29:36 It's not that I was big. I was severely out of shape. So like, I mean, my whole life I've been a zero. The day I had to like move up from a zero to a two and then a two to a four, I was like, okay, I'm not going down the right path. I wasn't eating healthy. I was drinking all of the time. I was drinking whiskey and beer and eating late every night and just like top ramen at 4 a.m. when I'm drunk.
Starting point is 00:30:00 I just wasn't living a healthy lifestyle. So it wasn't necessarily just a body transformation it was an entire like soul searching like mental that was after you divorced from Shay no I got in shape um the year after we got married the year so yeah it was just I wasn't happy with how I looked in my wedding dress but I didn't care at the time because I was just like whatever I'm getting married like I don't care and I was just kind of letting myself go which is cool because like most chicks are like I need to like not eat before my wedding yeah and I just didn't care yeah so I felt like and you looked amazing thank you I just was like getting to a place in my life when like our relationship
Starting point is 00:30:39 like it wasn't good and I wasn't making healthy decisions. So it was just like an overall like mind, body, soul transformation. And yes, I mean, I lost weight. I went at my smallest, which was after the divorce. I was 102, which is disgusting. But at my biggest, I was like 134. So I mean, 30 pounds on someone, you know, my size, that is a huge difference difference so now i'm smack in the middle good i haven't weighed myself in a couple months because i just i'm trying not to be crazy about that stuff anymore because it really it fucks with me it does it when you become obsessed about weight and it just like and it's hard because there isn't that middle something it's hard to find the middle between like being obsessive and like because it works when you're obsessive when you're obsessive
Starting point is 00:31:24 you get mad skinny yeah but then like i mean it's so hard with the body positivity thing i try to be body i try to be body positive af especially with like jamila jamil on the lookout do you know her i'm like i'm all for it she puts out such a positive message and like anti you know body shaming and everything but i think to be real it's so hard to be like just happy with your body and like people should know that because I feel like people are like you know I wish I you know didn't want to be skinny or and everyone's thinking it everyone it's hard for there's not a chick I know that doesn't struggle a little with like weight or like trying to be this trying to be that so but good for you you
Starting point is 00:32:05 looked amazing before i remember when jacks when you got really hot all of a sudden and he like saw your ass and he's like and i like that though he was like sheena where'd sheena's ass go yeah sheena and i like knowing though that guys it's a good reminder guys don't always like skinny chicks you know they like a little bit of like yeah well i got i got the booty back you got the booty back good good good i remember he said that i was like oh my god yeah yeah i was very offended by that you were yeah i was just like because it was true but like it just i'm like first of all why are you talking about my ass yeah but i was i felt so good when i was that skinny yeah because I felt like I was so healthy.
Starting point is 00:32:45 But then I needed to start getting fillers in my face because my face was, like, getting sunken in. And then it just, like, photo shoots I did, it was just, like, I didn't like the way I looked. And I was like, you know what? Jax was right. Like, I liked it when I was, like, 115 to 120 and, like, had an ass but still a small waist. But, like, I just, i needed a little more fat back in my face and i feel like now i'm at the perfect weight i just need to stay tone and while i'm going through freezing my eggs again i have to be on a very healthy diet yeah i need to work out as
Starting point is 00:33:19 much as i can until day three of my injections because then I have three weeks where I cannot do anything not one sit up I can't do anything more than walk and like walking like is like limited like it's just it's a really big thing and I'm like if I'm gonna do this and put my body through this I'm going to do it the right way yeah you don't want to like do it and then not yeah and I'm a person when I set my mind to something like it's done so like the doctor was like no liquor no weed no that i was like okay done and then i just i stopped and then 50 days later i started again but then you're stopping again yeah so i'm i'm cutting out liquor right now because i'm going to save a little bit of that for the bachelorette party and it in moderation like i think it was um it was new year's eve and i was talking to my doctor and
Starting point is 00:34:06 i was like but like if what would happen if i just did one shot or something she was like you know what she was if you have like a couple mixed cocktails it's not gonna ruin your ovaries and you're you know it's not gonna actually yeah affect it she's like we just we say that so people don't abuse it it's like well the doctor said it wasn't that big of a deal so like i'm gonna have a couple martinis and yeah so i know i can but i am disciplining myself so i'm i still am on the weed but i'm i've cut the liquor on the weed are you on the weed do you do? I'm still doing weed. But after next week, that will be completely cut out.
Starting point is 00:34:48 I just know if I'm not going to drink that much at the bachelor bachelorette party, I'm going to need to be high. Wait, where is the bachelor bachelorette party? In Miami. In Miami? Yeah. Oh, that's fun. Yeah, I'm excited. Wait, is it going to be filmed? Is the wedding going to be filmed? What's going to be filmed? I don't know. Everything probably.
Starting point is 00:35:04 I don't know. I don't know. I would assume. I don't know anything. Sheena. They're not going to miss that. There's no way. Wait, Sheena, how do you explain that you didn't hook up with any of the guys on the show? I haven't. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:35:19 Because when I met everyone, I was in a relationship. True. So you were off the... No, but I remember at the beginning when Jax was into you, right? And he was dating Sassy, and she was jealous, and you were like off the, no, but I remember at the beginning when like Jax was like into you, right? And he was like dating Sassy and she was jealous and you were like. Yeah, I mean, we were like flirty, but I mean, I had a boyfriend. Yeah, yeah. So nothing ever could have happened with, I mean, as long as I've known Tom, he was with Kristen. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:36 And then he was with, and now he's with Ariana. Yeah. As long as I've known Schwartz, he's been with Katie. Right. So like there's never been a single guy on the show that I even could have had a thing with. I can't imagine you with anyone.
Starting point is 00:35:46 I know. I'm trying to picture like who. So wait. So who's your favorite person on the show? Um, I mean, I don't want to pick favorites,
Starting point is 00:35:54 but Sandoval and Ariana are my absolute closest friends in life and on the show. And least favorite. Who's your favorite? Who's your least favorite, Tina? I don't have a least favorite. No. No? I feel't have a least favorite.
Starting point is 00:36:05 No. No? I feel like any other season you'd be able to answer that. But like right now you are actually good with everybody. Yeah. That's cool. I like that. I just saw, what was the, oh, what's her name? Christina Kelly was like having a housewarming.
Starting point is 00:36:17 No, sorry. Bo's mom was doing like a therapy thing for Kristen. And again, I saw a situation where everyone was getting in there, like, but in their business, like, like you guys aren't good together and like blah, blah, blah. And I was like, wait. And I remember just like seeing you there and like, again, kind of like expected to maybe be like, yeah, like Carter, you suck to Kristen, but like, you're not doing that because like, why would you?
Starting point is 00:36:45 And that just boggles my mind a lot because i think sometimes i'm like i watch the show for entertainment but then i get into it and i'm like wait if if i was there would i ever come to the my friend's boyfriend in their bedroom and like tell like you suck like you suck she told us like you're awful and you don't pay for things so i mean those situations to be in are probably like so crazy yeah those are not fun you and carter are friends yeah i love school yeah and they're still together i don't know no oh i think they'll always be your favorite on the show i don't have a favorite sheena no i actually it's different like i told you before like everyone to me has like really redeeming qualities. So it's hard for me.
Starting point is 00:37:27 I love everyone for real. Okay, then a different question. Okay, you're like, I'm not getting what I want. Favorite storyline this season and most like tired, boring one. Favorite storyline this season. Like what do you enjoy? Like which person's like story do you enjoy following the most? Wait, what happened
Starting point is 00:37:45 this season okay okay any time in general the tired kind of thing i think right now is the james trying to come back and work at sir it's kind of like he's never gonna give it up yeah which is cute but it's kind of like lisa's like because that i feel like kind of feels more like contrived it's like you've got to still work for it. I think that's so real. James is always trying to show up and DJ. Out of every single person in this group, James wants to work at Sir more than any of them. Really? Yes. I think everyone else would prefer not to work at Sir.
Starting point is 00:38:14 James is fighting his way back in there. But what else happened this season? Just in general. In general ever, Gina? Yeah. Like who do you enjoy following the most and the least? No, it's interesting, because it really, like, does change for me. Like, I love
Starting point is 00:38:28 Stassi's, like, one-liners, like, those get me. Like, she definitely has, like, a way with words that I'm like, wait, I could never think that quickly to say, like, those, like, you know, that come off the top of her head. I felt really bad for Katie and everything she was going through with James,
Starting point is 00:38:44 just because, like, being called fat is, like, one thing. That, like, again, we were talking about it before. Like, not as, like, everyone to stick up. Because it's like, what are you going to do? He called you this. Like, what? People are going to kill him. Right.
Starting point is 00:38:57 But I know that if I was, like, you can call me ugly. You can call me dumb. Like, if I was called, like, blatantly, you need to lose weight. That's, like like so mean. So like my heart kind of like felt for her on that one. But I really do like just enjoy the show and enjoy everyone for real. For real. Me too.
Starting point is 00:39:16 I'm a fan too. It is. It's a great show. It really is. Every time I watch it, I'm like, fuck, this is so good. That's why I hashtag myself VPR ambassador. I'm telling you, I get messages from people in like Denmark being like what show is this and I'm like Vanderpump rules like seeing those what made you start watching it it was literally one of my
Starting point is 00:39:36 followers I think I don't know what I put up and they were like do you watch Vanderpump rules and I was like no should I and they were like oh my god yes and then I started watching and I guess like I put up a few clips and it just happened as like a thing where people like enjoy re-watching clips which is crazy i loved going through all of your stories and stuff when when we knew you were going to be here i went through and i was like oh my god i forgot that happened on the show like there's like crazy shit fucking happens all the time um stassi DM'd me a couple hours ago. And she's like, oh, good times. And it was this scene of her and I.
Starting point is 00:40:11 I don't like what you've done. And someone came up to me and goes, did you see she's hitting on Jax? Like you have these insecurities. You think I'm going to start hitting on your boyfriend? Of course I have insecurities about that. I've been cheated on. That's your problem. I've been cheated on your boyfriend in your
Starting point is 00:40:25 relationship yes i do have trust issues so when i see a girl like you because i do you remember that like do you feel it oh really that scene traumatized me i was like oh god what the fuck did i just sign up for no because like yeah oh my god because she was like so mad that i was with eddie when i didn't even know he was married and she's like well i've been cheated on i'm insecure and i'm like your problem i didn't i didn't hook up with my god no i'm having flashbacks oh my god that was ridiculous i'm remembering that now i remember i was like what like she was mad at you as a person yeah doing something where you don't even know her she doesn't have any relation
Starting point is 00:41:10 there's so much shit that's happened on the show i know oh my god but are you so grateful that like this kind of like fell into your lap and is such a part of your life in the beginning wanted nothing to do with reality tv i was like like, I'm not doing that. I'm an actress. That would have been the biggest regret of my life. Like, this show... If you would have said no. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:30 I mean, it's brought so much opportunity. I'm so grateful and thankful to Lisa Vanderpump and NBCUniversal and Bravo and Andy and everyone for giving us this opportunity and platform because it's like... I mean, the show's kind of iconic. It's so entertaining. And to be a part of something like that,
Starting point is 00:41:48 like in this day and age, and just to be able to share our lives and experiences with other people, like even though it's really shitty sometimes and I get, you know, so many negative comments and like, how could you? It's just like the one person that I help with this situation and who's like, oh my God, because you went through this, now I feel like I can. It makes all of the other shit go away so do you read like messages and stuff that people write to you some um like my like dms i didn't up until i was freezing my eggs and i
Starting point is 00:42:17 started checking them because i had hundreds of women just like had like all these it's just been 99 plus for like eight years that's crazy yeah, that's crazy. Yeah, so I started looking into them because- But what if you get like interesting ones? Well, so now my sister- They have a blue check mark. Yeah, you're like hot. She finds those pretty good things. There was a blue check mark the other day.
Starting point is 00:42:34 I was like, who did? Who slid? Who slid? Wait, can you tell us? It was a football player. So what's it called? What was I saying? Oh, but the extra- I knew you were going to think of the football player and get distracted but there were so many women who had reached out with questions or were giving me tips and like that just I was able to engage in so many conversations with people and
Starting point is 00:42:59 women who were like I didn't even know freezing just your eggs was an option. And so ever since then, I check them, but not as often. I read comments, but not all of them because I don't like getting overwhelmed with it. And it's just like, you can go down a rabbit hole. But you haven't done that like ever. No. Good for you. No, I don't let it get to me. Good for you. And if I see one that bothers me, I'll delete it and then I'll just stop reading because there's probably another one like that. Like, yesterday was just annoying. Everyone was commenting on my outfit. Why are you wearing a t-shirt to a baby shower? I was like, comments off. I'm over it. Shut up.
Starting point is 00:43:34 Because I wore it and because it was cute and Gretchen liked it. So, whatever. Oh, Gretchen, what's her name? Gretchen Rossi. Yeah. Her baby shower looks like the most over-the-top wedding I've ever seen. Yeah, it was nuts that's good for you though because i think it's so hard to not go down that like rabbit hole of people's comments and shit like that i don't know sometimes i like after if she tags me in something
Starting point is 00:43:56 or anybody else i'll read the comments and i'll start like noticing myself like firing back like my thumbs are suddenly like spinning around my phone i'm like that's not okay it's not normally ever about me but when they say negative stuff about them i'm like what remember when and when we were in australia and someone thought you photoshopped your elbow on your back oh i know they were like photoshop fail i'm like why would i photoshop an elbow on my back it's a shadow oh my god so then she had to do this thing where she zoomed in on the original picture and on the camera like no it's just a shadow i didn't try to put my elbow people are crazy yeah and then you realize that the people who are commenting this kind of shit aren't the people that oh my god probably want to like it's
Starting point is 00:44:34 always private account 30 followers yeah right very calm mother of four who loves christ mom yeah okay no for real like get off the internet. Kathy, go home. But you had time off before starting filming this season. Yeah. We traveled for like, that's what you did. Yeah. Every single week I was somewhere else. I just,
Starting point is 00:44:54 I made it a point to go. I want to be out of town every weekend until may. And I didn't, I did it every weekend. What do you think? Were you going to go to the Paris trip with the other girls or no? No, so I wasn't
Starting point is 00:45:11 invited, but it wasn't because they were like, we don't want to invite Sheena. It was something that months before they were talking about and Lala and Stassi had kind of put it together and it was just the four of them were out and were planning a trip and Ariana and I
Starting point is 00:45:28 weren't there for it and it just it was kind of just like an oversight like they just didn't really think about it and it was also over my birthday so I'm like I mean even because they invited me after I was like oh I didn't know you guys were going like oh my god I thought we told you like totally calm and I was like no it's fine like I honestly that's not how I want to spend my birthday
Starting point is 00:45:43 so like I'm good thank you for now inviting me yeah but then so many people are like oh my god why weren't you in paris why were you in paris i'm like even if i if i wanted i just i didn't want to go so even if they were begging me to go i still wouldn't have went do you still feel like you're kind of like in their group but not like in it not anymore or do you not want to no i don't i feel like now we're all a part of the group like we're in a group chat that we're active in almost every day and we're all in a very good place i mean i'm sure you know we're still gonna have our occasional arguments as we've already had but i feel like i'm in a good place with all of them now that i can speak up a
Starting point is 00:46:21 little more if saucy does something that bothers me'm not going to just like clam up and like talk to Ariana about it like on the side. Yeah. Like I feel that I've gotten to a good strong place with all of them that the way they can stand up to each other against each other. I feel I can too. Yeah. Good.
Starting point is 00:46:38 I'm happy about that. And you know what? Anyone who I'm friends with a show or not show anyone who I'm friends with, if I stand up to them and have an opinion and if they don't want to be my friend because of that opinion then you're not someone I should be friends with anyways no 100 because friends need to work through that shit and that's why they're your friends they're there to make you better and to you know like be there for you when you need them so good I'm also glad you got to that place because like we talked about a lot today it's just like that you stood on like on on your own like ground of like
Starting point is 00:47:06 i'm not going to be that type of person that you guys are and that's cool you are and it's cool you you know butt into every fight and say what you think and say well that person said that she said and like blah blah blah and the fact that you didn't do that but you can still be cool with everyone i mean i'm sure that that's like a really good asset to have yeah i mean like no one like who doesn't want to be like cool with everyone and like i don't i do makes it a lot easier to go places yeah there's not very many rooms i think you're afraid to walk into because you said something you shouldn't have no and i just i'm in a place in my life where like i'm just very comfortable with who i am and where i'm at and i don't want to hold back anymore.
Starting point is 00:47:47 I don't want to bite my tongue. I don't, you know, it's just like if I want to say something, I'm going to fucking say something. So this season is going to be good. It's going to be good. It's going to be really good. Stay tuned. I'm so excited. Speaking of though, I do have to get to serve.
