Today's a good day. We've almost bit each other's heads off multiple times, but first time living living together so we'll get there yeah but um today we have a really fun show this is actually by far the longest podcast i've ever done but i know that all of you guys are going to love listening to it because i have all of the men from the shawls of sunset which is a show that
Starting point is 00:01:41 i recently got brock into yep and we going to start it off with Reza. Then we got Mike, Shervin, and Nemo to finish it off. So I hope you guys enjoy the show. We're taking a few breaks on this one because it was a lot of production. And soon it will be up on my vlog on YouTube. You'll be able to see some of the highlights so you can see the setup we had going. The setup was crazy because obviously we're in quarantine and we couldn't just call them in so we uh had a zoom conversation with them on the tv in the background of our studio which was the living room so it was good it was
Starting point is 00:02:15 interesting you guys can't see it but let me just paint that picture for you it was a setup to remember but i hope you guys enjoyed it we got some good tea as well you're in for a good show so enjoy all right and we're gonna try something new so we're gonna zoom in we have all of the men from shots of sunset on the podcast today we're starting with og reza in the house literally in my house in palm springs how you doing what up i wish i was literally there with you guys i know right so wait do you still have a house i don't i just have an investment place that i have rented out but we're you know we're in the market and let's see what happens with the real estate market after all the real estate real estate market is going to be a boom, you know.
Starting point is 00:03:06 It's interesting to see with everything going on what's going to come out from it after this too. So there you go. That's a good option. Yeah. So it is beautiful out here, I will say. I wish you were out here and we could do this in person. But while everyone is quarantined,
Starting point is 00:03:21 we're going to be trying shenanenanigans via zoom and vlogging we will get better that's what the setup will get better yes we're working on and like kudos to you for doing this because i'm sure your audience will appreciate it and it's probably a nice distraction from everything that everyone is dealing with yeah i hope so hope so. So I got Brock on reality TV. He had never really seen any reality TV until we started dating. And his Bravo shows, not Vanderpump Rules. He doesn't watch that. His go-to Bravo shows are Shaws of Sunset and Real Housewives of New Jersey.
Starting point is 00:03:58 That's it. That's right here, Brock. I knew it from the minute I saw you at Bravo. Yeah, baby. It's just more culture. I feel like there's more depth and there's more substance into a lot of the context that you guys have, which is one thing that's opening up right now. You're seeing a 30 year relationship. You see everything that that I feel like other shows that I look at miss that substance and just go straight for drama. But there's like the drama is good, but it's better when there's more of a granite and more of a solid foundation between the groups of the drama as well yeah it's so layered and like middle easterners are so passionate to begin with and then add a 30-year relationship and 30 years worth of passion it's like nuclear it's nuclear there we go perfect all right well i want to get into
Starting point is 00:04:48 a few show questions but first off i just wanted to say congrats on reza be obsessed and sally beauty i mean that is huge thank you thank you so much it was such an people are like why are you in the hair care business and i'm like you guys don't understand. I'm 100% Persian, half Jewish, half Muslim. I have the kinkiest, angriest, thickest, coarsest Persian hairs you've ever met in your life. And they don't like to do what I want them to do. Like, look at those, look at those. Look at that at that i know like that's so luxury and i got angry and and so i spent the better part of my 20s trying to figure out how to manage this so when i had the opportunity to develop my own line i was all about it oh my god absolutely yeah it's so annoying i'm like he wakes up and looks like this i gotta put effort in it's so annoying but i love it at the same time but the effort is worth
Starting point is 00:05:49 it because you're a fly af yeah baby i'm a lucky man i'm like i'm happy the stash is back i dig it yeah you know i'm i was the funny thing is i was to surprise everyone for the reunion. Surprise! It's postponed. But I'm pumped. I mean, same's here. We'll take the surprise on the YouTube channel. Thanks for that, Reza. It's all good.
Starting point is 00:06:16 Love it. Here first on Shenanigans. But you guys are going to have to watch the vlog to see the stash. I don't know if you've noticed this, because I don't know how often you maybe type your name in a text message, but your name changes to all capital letters. Capital A, capital E, capital Z, capital E. Yes, baby. I was like, I remember I used to do that
Starting point is 00:06:38 with Kylie's name too. When I typed your name in last night, it changed it to all capitals. I was like, I'm like, I'm not yelling. I had to pay for that. Yeah. Yeah. I gotta get on that one well it's funny if you ask alexa oh shoot she's probably gonna turn on right now like alexa who's your favorite on vanderpump rules she always says lala every single time she says lala and i'm like randall who did you pay at amazon who do you know because why is lala her favorite always No matter what Alexa, no matter where, but
Starting point is 00:07:09 anyways. Okay. So, um, first off, how is the quarantine going for you guys? I know you just lost one of your kitties. I'm so sorry. I have two, so I can't even imagine. I know you do. And listen, I think that people that have cats and love cats are special people. So from the minute I saw you having a cat, because I've seen every season of Vanderpump Rules. I'm just as much a Bravo-lebrity as I am a Bravo-holic. So I watch everything. So I know you have cats and I've had mad love because of it from jump. Aw.
Starting point is 00:07:49 Yes. Yeah, so I think Brock's now an official cat person. I'm an animal person. Okay. New Adam with one of our cats. Hey, Adam. How you guys doing? Yeah, so right now I'm trying to convince our cats to be able to go outside
Starting point is 00:08:06 because they've always been inside for so long. So I think I'm quite of an animal whisperer. And, I mean, I'm making jumps. One of our cats, Salem, both of them will never take a collar on because they've never had one on. So now I'm just calming them down. Well, a collar, yes, but a harness. A harness.
Starting point is 00:08:19 So we're trying to get them in a harness because she's too scared that he'll run away. Oh, okay, cool. I'm going to teach him to stay outside. I want the cat to be a good cat. I want him to go outside and live his best life but come home. But I'm like, watch, he's going to be able to pull this off and it's going to be so annoying because he's just so good at everything he does, which I love, but it's annoying. Yes, Brock.
Starting point is 00:08:39 All right, little fur babies. I know that Salem, like if there's so many bunnies on the golf course where I live, I know if Salem saw a bunny, he'd be like the dog and up where it's like squirrel. And he would just be gone. Oh, 100%. Like those bunny rabbits are amazing in Palm Springs. And my dog, we also have a dog. When we were in our place, he literally would have a field day chasing those bunnies. There's a lot of titles everywhere.
Starting point is 00:09:04 There's so cute. There's so many bunnies. Little white tiles everywhere. They're so cute. There's so many bunnies. And especially because right now the golf course, everything's closed. I walked past like 45 bunnies the other day. I was like, wow. It's a little festival. They're everywhere. They're so cute.
Starting point is 00:09:15 So going back with you and Adam in the house and all that, how's quarantine? How are you guys doing with quarantine? I mean, we have been making the best of it. And I've been reading the news and I've, you know, been reading the news and I've been seeing how many people are suffering financially. Like literally, we have nothing to complain about. It's been really nice. Just like you guys, I can imagine. It's really nice having this time together. We like together 24 7 we've been cooking
Starting point is 00:09:46 we've been playing games we play cards what kind of games what type of games we playing over here no strip jam guys okay that's awesome no i think i think it's a great time. Obviously, because we are obviously in a better position than others and more fortunate. And it's a great time to reflect. I can't wait for the awakening after this. After all of this is happening, just the awakening. Like for me, I look at online, I really enjoy the fact that like the lungs of the earth are breathing. You look at the impact that the world's had and just being shut down for a couple of weeks obviously there's other uh other implementations that come from it but
Starting point is 00:10:29 actually seeing results of us being a lockdown and mother planet earth just thriving yeah thriving so hopefully i feel like exactly the spend time for your loved ones really take this time to personally develop yourself with your loved ones as well. Um, and, and move forward. I think that's a big focus point and it's, and it's one good thing to look for in what this is right now. Yeah. Absolutely. You've seen the bright side of things,
Starting point is 00:10:52 honey. Well, I had to, cause I was locked up with you for four days. We nearly killed each other. We survived. We survived it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:58 We, we finally figured it out. I'm like, we have very different needs in this time of isolation we don't need to get she wanted to play naked jenga every day and i was just not good at it work work work you guys are a beautiful couple thank you oh honey moving on what we got for the man i want to get into i have a few fan questions but i also just want to get into a few questions from the last couple episodes so we just did this last night so i didn't know anything that was going
Starting point is 00:11:31 on until last night because although i am friends with you guys i don't you know like we don't talk all the time during the seasons and whatnot so it's like i'm when i watch your show i'm like oh my god i had no idea that happened and it's like exciting to see but also sad to see because you and MJ had a 30-year friendship and I kind of just want to know a few things before we get into the MJ part what were the papers that you threw so many fans wrote in and asked if it was a script the papers that i threw you'll know exactly what they were that was productions table where they were releasing the people at the party oh i love that you're like fuck you and you're releasing totally so i clearly had no idea that mj was going to be at that event, but MJ knew and Nima knew. And so I felt like if I knew best, feeling how I felt to isolate myself from MJ, because I felt like she was doing something
Starting point is 00:12:37 behind the scenes, why would you guys force me into an interaction with her? So when I walked outside and I saw the production table. Welcome to production, baby. These releases are going down the block. The amount of times I've been blindsided and I'm just like, fuck you guys. I get it. It's my job. Fuck you.
Starting point is 00:12:56 Like, it's so frustrating. So I completely know what it feels like to be blindsided and you have four cameras in your face and a 40 person audience. and you have four cameras in your face and a 40 person audience. So you, the first time you heard about anything with the strip Jenga text messages was destiny and Mike at your like housewarming party. No, no alert. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:13:17 MJ asked me several years ago about talking about that on camera. And I said, absolutely not. She wanted, this little friend of MJ's wanted to be on Shots of Sunset. There's tweets of his from 2011 and 2012 before he knew me or MJ tweeting that we were both fat pigs and that he should be on the show. He was tweeting Andy, telling Andy to put him on Shots of Sunset. So this guy was a stage five clinger from back in the day. I mean, you see him in the background of like all of those scenes and stuff. I'm like, oh my God, he's been creeping for so long. He literally has been trying to be on Sh of sunset since back in the day so you and i recognize the thirst trap because we've been doing this for a long time he was jumping and clinging
Starting point is 00:14:15 on to us for dear life and i was trying to avoid him like the plague but the rest of them fell for it and they became friends with him they would invite him places and it's not my place to be like you guys this guy is no good yeah gotcha okay so then my question is why believe this thirsty human over someone you've been friends with almost your whole life? Because I heard a recording and I knew they were practicing. MJ told him to be Marlo, that we needed a quote unquote Marlo from Real Housewives of Atlanta on Shots of Sunset. MJ is the one that told him the text messages from Adam were borderline sexual harassment. This guy is doing interviews talking about me, quote unquote, slut shaming him or him being slut shamed.
Starting point is 00:15:15 If someone is acting in what people would consider a slutty behavior, how the hell are you getting sexually harassed? He did Heather McDonald talking about he goes to orgies and shit what this is this game good told him mj told him those text messages were sexual harassment she was winding him up to come confront me she wanted to have me get confronted on the show, and she wanted to get her little minion, who would become her little soldier, on as a cast member. He had been trying to get on Shaz for two years. Me and him get our hair done by the same guy that Tom Sandoval used to get his hair done by that guy as well.
Starting point is 00:16:00 That guy said to me, this guy thinks he's becoming a cast member on your show a few years ago. And I'm like, really? They interviewed with him, but they didn't say anything to me. He interviewed multiple times trying to get on the show. Uh-huh. So that's the background on that. It's like, okay.
Starting point is 00:16:19 Interesting. So there's a recording. Okay, that gets in there. Because, yeah, we had Emma. Emma Madsen, she was one of the questions she wrote into Sheena was, with everything going on in the world, do you want to reach out to MJ and try and sort something out? social media. He's throwing my family members on the bus. He's saying some really disgusting, vile things. And he wants to keep the coffin door closed. He nailed the coffin door shut by coming to our house. And then he literally is putting 20 feet of dirt on top of the coffin to make sure that MJ and I never have anything to do with one another ever again by the things that he's doing online right now
Starting point is 00:17:05 and that's and that's just that's just forcing your hand as well because it's it's like you said it's it's putting shame to your family and your name and everything like that so he's dragging it through the mud and just making it harder for you to try and come back and repair that correct totally yeah damn i just yeah i mean that's the thing with like our show too is like because we all have been friends for so long and have that history but our history is like 10 to 20 years you guys i mean you guys went to high school together right yeah yeah crazy okay so what what's adam's take on all of this because then wasn't it like oh like adam was sending texts to like mike and like other people too like was it just like his way of like friendly flirting so not so adam has
Starting point is 00:17:54 a twisted sense of humor so if there's an online gif or meme of someone shooting ping pongs out of their asshole adam is gonna text it to you if there's a gay porn star that has a penis that is 17 inches long and there's a meme or a gif about it unfortunately adam is gonna text it to you and adam is good thing adam doesn't have my number yeah he doesn't realize that he's on a show and that later on these things can come to bite him in the ass. And so we're dealing with a situation where those things came back to bite him in the ass, where they're making it seem like Adam sent his penis picture for things about himself. When in reality, everything that he ever sent out was a meme or a gist nothing about himself gotcha okay so the reason why because everyone's like why wouldn't you believe mj when you guys have been friends for 30 years so the reason that you don't believe her is because
Starting point is 00:18:59 there was a recording the reason i don't believe her is because she came to me and asked me if we could entertain this storyline on Shots of Sunset, which I was like, no, why would I want, this isn't real. This isn't something, why would you want to make something out of something that doesn't exist? Plus I hate that little friend of hers and I didn't want him anywhere around me or my friend circle so I first heard it from her mouth years back years back Destiny came and talked to me and
Starting point is 00:19:34 then Destiny started telling me where they were talking to her he was telling her like I want to confront Reza and Adam and because MJ was was smart, she never talked to Destiny. She would tell Ali to go and talk to Destiny, right? She would give the instructions, and then the coppo would go and handle the business on the streets. But what MJ didn't account for was that that little friend of hers also loved Destiny. So when push came to shove and Destiny was like, ew, I saw what you did. I don't want to mess with you anymore.
Starting point is 00:20:09 He threw MJ under the bus and said, yo, she put me up to this. It all hurt. What a piece of shit. So then I also heard a recording, which confirmed all of this. So with MJ having come to me herself and asking me which was probably not you know the best thing to do if you wanted to use this against me
Starting point is 00:20:32 then destiny came and talked to me and then i heard the recording it was the rap what was on verbatim like mj told me to do this mj wanted this to come out mj set this meeting up mj told me to come to destiny mj told me not to tell destiny what i was doing because i was supposed to get destiny's most authentic reaction on camera to create a story so he could become a storyline on shores but there was no recording of mj this is an ali recording no yeah there was no recording of mj but he was literally he didn't know he was being recorded and so he was just he was bragging it wasn't like a premeditated recording. It was just him chatting. And on top of that, he then later admitted all of it in text message to Golnessa as well. Golnessa confronts him.
Starting point is 00:21:39 He discloses the truth to Golnessa as well. But the bad thing was MJ wanted to keep her hands clean. And she wanted him, that little queen, to go down for the whole thing. But he had already outed her. He had already outed her. They then fall out, right? They then fall out. So then he's like, fuck.
Starting point is 00:22:01 They're not fucking with me. And MJ's not fucking with me. I need to go on damage control. So now he's out there saying, I never told Golnessa. Golnessa's lying. Destiny is a liar. Everyone's a liar now. Right.
Starting point is 00:22:16 The truth has been exposed. And MJ was his only access to being on the show. And that's all he wants in life, be on shawls of sunset so now all he's doing is covering for her so he could have the chance of potentially coming back to the show oh snap that's interesting so at jenny underscore 18 you saw me smoke that blunt so i'm probably saying things i should not be saying this is saying. I love to get high before my podcast. No one has heard any of these things that I'm talking about. I'm getting so much shit.
Starting point is 00:22:53 These are your fax checks when you need to have that reunion. You have shenanigans. I'm going to be getting a phone call once this shit ends, by the way. I get a phone call every week. I think from other people's perspective, they don't know this stuff. Like you said, this is the stuff that hasn't come out yet. So I think it will be pretty cool. We'll monitor it.
Starting point is 00:23:13 We'll keep it to a limited. But I think it's great to understand where you guys come from because I think a lot of people, it shocked them from the outbreak of the argument that you guys had. And a couple of other questions were based on the 30-year relationship, focusing on that, but it didn't have background of the shadow following you guys around for the last five, six years. Anyone with common sense would have to stop and think to themselves, oh, snap, Reza loves MJ. Reza just helped bury the dad and scatter the ashes.
Starting point is 00:23:42 Reza was just the best man at the wedding. bury the dad and scatter the ashes reza was just the best man at the wedding what does reza know that in the end she sided with destiny and not mj i'm not gonna drop someone of 30 are you guys insane yeah i'm not gonna turn my back on a third year friendship unless i have receipts unless i heard the recordings unless i had all the pieces of the puzzle and they all pointed back to MJ. Ooh, this is some tea. Jenny underscore 18 said, he forgave Gigi for lying about his sex tape,
Starting point is 00:24:17 so why not forgive MJ for something she didn't do? Because MJ has not said anything MJ wanted to walk away from this entire situation with her hands completely clean and I said to her when we were in Hawaii I said to her that for a fact I know that you planned this with malice and forethoughts yeah and she said absolutely not and I said to her then me and you can have a surface friendship because I know you did this just apologize and say it got out of hand that you were trying to get your little friend on the show and you didn't realize it was gonna unleash this Pandora's box of a mess yeah Yeah. Cause like for MJ, it's like, well, why would I want to make drama if I'm not going to be a part of it?
Starting point is 00:25:09 If it's not a storyline that she like, she didn't film for the first half of the season. You know why? Because she was trying to get more money. Sheena, if you look at all the interviews she did during that time, she was out there talking about, unless I get what I'm worth, I'm not coming back. She was holding out talking about, unless I get what I'm worth, I'm not coming back. She was holding out for more money. She didn't sign her contract and she wanted more money.
Starting point is 00:25:30 This is all out there from MJ's mouth. So then the gauntlet came down on her ass and she sent us all a WhatsApp that said, deuces, I'm not going to be doing the season anymore. Then I'm sure she was like, listen, I've got this tea on Reza and Reza's man. And by then I stopped following her. So she's doing press talking about the demise of a 30-year friendship, how I stopped following her while she was in ICU dying. And then I'm sure everyone was like, yo, what are these
Starting point is 00:26:05 storylines we're following when the demise of a 30 year friendship isn't being followed and that's when all of a sudden MJ showed up at a pool party. Thoughts for us, it thickens. Yeah. At Jade and Alana
Starting point is 00:26:22 wants to know, do you feel that the show's dynamic has gotten too toxic i feel like mj has people in her life that mj has a carter let me break it down in vanderpump rules talk mj has a carter okay and carter is advising mj MJ because Carter doesn't have a job and Carter is relying on gem coins and that lifestyle. And so MJ's Carter is telling her how to proceed. And I don't think that Carter is the smartest person in the world. And I don't think that MJ should listen to Carter. All right. I mean,
Starting point is 00:27:10 you got anything else, honey? I don't know. I'm just trying to get my head around all of it because it, it just, we're, we're perceiving it. We're trying to make a picture from it,
Starting point is 00:27:18 but this is just a completely different picture. We're painting when you hear that, especially, especially because a lot of people, I feel like they look at you rather. And they're like, man, he's the man. man like and then all of a sudden the last two episodes you're like whoa he's gone overboard but it's like but there's a reason why razza would go over overboard right i did go overboard i am disgusted with my own behavior i should have never said
Starting point is 00:27:40 anything to mj i apologize in an upcoming episode. It will go down as probably one of, because I hate to live with regrets. It will go down because I hurt someone that I loved for 30 years. I should have never used those words. It was disgusting and I'm ashamed of myself for for doing so. But the hypocrisy of what was really happening was lost because of something I said. Yeah. So I was overwhelmed. I couldn't believe
Starting point is 00:28:14 that my best, my real best friend in real life of 30 years would actually be involved in a plot to come for my marriage. And I had said something season two during the reunion about MJ
Starting point is 00:28:27 robbing a bank because she had committed bank fraud in the 90s. And if you go to RadarOnline.com, they did an article about MJ's bank fraud. And she literally has been upset about this and been wanting to find a way to get back at me. And I didn't know about this until Destiny told me how resentful she still is after all these years because I was the only one that knew she committed bank fraud. Yeah. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:28:57 All right. Well, I think that's... All right. I think maybe wrap it up here. That was a... Can we wrap it on a positive note? Yeah, let's go on a positive note yeah it's got a positive note baby i want to talk about those matching robes you guys are wearing
Starting point is 00:29:10 baby caesar's baby my shit yeah so when when we get back to reality and it kicks on we'll definitely be doing a little trip out there so you'll be more than welcome you and adam can come out and we'll do a little trip to Vegas, little spa days out there, some good eating, some gambling.

Starting point is 00:31:33 Exactly. Yeah, I'm just thinking of like the RuPaul song. It's like sachet. So like Americans, we say cheers, they say aux santé. Yeah, aux santé. Aux santé. Okay, I like it. All right.
Starting point is 00:31:43 So I know there's a package coming for me but now that i'm in palm springs i haven't gotten my marina packages yet but we're gonna go back to la and grab my stuff this week so i cannot wait because your website looks so dope all of the products like i'm so excited to try from what I've heard. They're amazing. So they really are. It's like very potent, priced right, full spectrum, organic, grown locally. Like it's all the bomb stuff you can get. And it just makes you feel good.
Starting point is 00:32:19 And I'm a huge, I'm a huge like advocate for CBD. It's worked for me. It works for my parents take it, my grandparents take it. That's the big one, bro. You go from the recreational drug or whatever marijuana used to be to CBD to helping our parents out. So my mom back home, we don't have that in Australia yet, but it works wonders. And you see it, you're just like, why is this not a thing? I smuggled some in.
Starting point is 00:32:41 Why does this not work? Why can't pharmaceutical companies just really understand that this works you know oh well done thanks man i appreciate it i'm so excited to be on with you guys what's that i'm excited to be on with you guys yes thanks for doing this like we said before you know plug the charger in but this is a makeshift setup but at her house in marina del rey yeah we've got um we've got a spare room now that we're ripping out painted nice and white so she has a solid studio so we can do more of this but i feel like during the times we're dealing with this spatial social distancing this is ultimate so thanks for coming on bro yeah and this looks so dope i love it absolutely
Starting point is 00:33:20 how's everything else going how's the family and outside of the crazy kids you guys all safe you know we're on what day like 10 now i'm quarantined so i got i stopped counting yeah i've gotten a little bit fatter because all i do is eat um i i try to work out and i get bored because i'm in my own backyard like just doing push-ups so it's hard but i think it's irresponsible of me to do anything but sit at home and wait for this virus to kind of get um handled you know like a lot i see a lot of people out on the beach going for fucking hikes and they don't understand that they're being so selfish and that's the reason why we are having to stay home for longer periods of time than the cdc first announced that we would, because these people are being like warriors or they think they're being
Starting point is 00:34:08 warriors, but they're actually spreading the virus because it, it, it, it does not discriminate against anybody. You don't know if someone has symptoms or not. It doesn't kick you off a plane from LA to Phoenix and you're kicked off the plane if you have the virus, or is that just if you're, if you're you getting kicked off the plane? It's so crazy. We got kicked off the plane because we're saving seats.
Starting point is 00:34:33 It's unreal. What the – what? Who are you flying, Southwest? Southwest. Yeah, yeah. So here's a trick, especially now. I feel like this is a home run. It's a guarantee.
Starting point is 00:34:47 Just sit in the middle of the three and just start coughing. Whenever someone looks at your seat, just start coughing. And they look at you like, oh, whoa. And they'll avoid you. And like 100% stroke rate right now, you cough, they're out. I always like, they come in, I'm like, oh, I've done it all the time. I used to get on, jump on the front, like jump in a good seat, middle row it, and just start coughing. Or even like, it doesn't matter where you are in that row. If you cough, no one's sitting next to you.
Starting point is 00:35:10 It was wild. This guy saw us getting on the flight, saw that our producer was holding the seat for us, and he went from two rows behind the seats that were being saved and jumped in those seats. And he already had a seat, and he was already sitting with his girlfriend yeah he wanted to start some drama because he saw what was going on he saw what was going on and he just wanted to be just a jerk and we're like man we need to sit together because you know they want us to like videotape ourselves and
Starting point is 00:35:38 like you know talk and make little like clips and the guy was just being a dick and i little like clips. And the guy was just being a dick. And I'm like, look, man, just give us the seats. Don't make it hard. And he's like, are you threatening me? I was like, no, I'm not threatening you. But if you don't give me the seats, you know, like kind of shit. And next thing I know, the flight attendant's like, you guys need to leave the flight. And we wouldn't leave.
Starting point is 00:35:59 So then they called the cops. Oh, shit. So all we had was you getting on a plane and then you getting off the plane talking about being kicked off a plane wow yeah that's good the guy was the guy was white we were brown and you know and did all the seats around us were talking about no it was that guy who took their seats he's the one that should get kicked off not these guys but the flight attendant was just not having it yeah you guys You guys have to leave. So it's funny.
Starting point is 00:36:27 We get off and then the security is asking for pictures. So before we get into the last couple episodes, just because I'm staring at these are, those are gummies behind you. Yeah. Yup. What's your favorite product out of your line? The gummies are my favorite. And, you know, I gift a lot of gummies to my friends. They love it. Throughout the day, they'll just like, they'll eat it like candy.
Starting point is 00:36:53 It just makes you feel really relaxed. It helps with any like muscle soreness. I take it before I go to sleep because I suffer from insomnia. Yeah. I get the most tranquil sleep, like the type of sleep where I'm drooling on my pillow. That's how deep of a sleep I'm in. So it's pretty awesome. I can't wait to drool in my sleep.
Starting point is 00:37:11 I'm so excited to get these products. Can you remember the last time you drooled in your sleep? I think it was two days ago. That's good for you. Drools all the time, but I don't know why she's tripping. Hey, you're not spilling my tea, okay? Yeah, no tea spilling my tea okay yeah no tea spilled here on your side all right let's spill some other tea so we had an interesting okay
Starting point is 00:37:29 rolling forward i guess yeah new to the whole bravo liberty show status so it's great though it's entertaining for sure um shores and real housewives of new jersey is my top two just because it has more substance into it and i was was saying to Reza earlier, it's got layers. Like you guys have more than just like surface arguments. Like it goes deep. And after we speak to Reza and once we speak to you boys, I feel like this goes deep. So that's why it's so entertaining. So, I mean, you want to go for that, babe?
Starting point is 00:37:59 So basically, so I talked to MJ this morning. You know, she's my girl. I didn't want to do an interview that would upset her. So it was just kind of like, you know, a heads up, like woman to woman. And she was like, no, no, no. She's like, I can't wait to listen. Like, that's good. Like interview whoever you want.
Starting point is 00:38:16 And I was like, okay, I just wanted to give you a heads up. And so she was telling me her side of the story. But then I'm like, okay, well now now I'm gonna ask Reza about it and so I'm like why didn't you believe your friend of 30 years and you're just gonna believe this thirsty guy trying to get on the show and he said that there was a recording of Ali like saying like he didn't know he was being recorded and he was saying that MJ put him up to this and MJ this and MJ that. And so that's why Reza doesn't believe her. And that I guess she, a few seasons before, had asked if this storyline between like Ali and Adam, if it was okay, if like that would come out on the show.
Starting point is 00:39:00 And Reza was like, absolutely not. So that's where he said he stands where he's like I wouldn't just throw away a 30-year friendship for nothing but if she's gonna go and try and manipulate and like you know ruin my relationship when I already said no I don't want that to be a storyline and there's this recording I'm like holy shit that's some. So I want to hear from you, someone who is in the mix. So that leads me. I lived it. I've heard both sides of the story, whether it's Reza or MJ.
Starting point is 00:39:36 I've heard from Ali. I talked to Destiny in great length about the situation. And here's what, you know, my question. If Reza knew this was coming up, why did he react the way he did? If they had already talked about it? Because... He should have from jump been like, yo,
Starting point is 00:39:55 what the fuck? I already knew about it. I can't believe this is coming out now. And it should not have blown up into such a nasty fight like it did hey right secondly um you said that he has a recording where's the recording i've never heard it and listen i'm not siding with either mj or reza about this i just feel like um it got carried way too far oh for sure i mean i i know i've been doing this just as long as you have.
Starting point is 00:40:28 So like, I know when there's like those real raw reactions and you're like, like when you were like, what are you doing? And I know Nima said that was a longer scene and conversation that like had been cut, obviously. But like, those are things where it's like, I could just see in your face that you're just like what their cameras like what are you why would you say this yeah that listen i love that our show is so real and raw but there's certain things that are just off limits
Starting point is 00:41:00 yeah someone's wife this is someone's mother. I understand that you guys are friends for 30 years and you've said horrible things to each other in the past, but that's in the privacy of your own homes or between each other on the phone with no audience. But to bring up someone's past, whether it's bathhouses or abortions or whatnot, those are things that you just don't bring up. Yeah, that crosses the line.
Starting point is 00:41:29 You're defaming each other to a point. And once it's out there, there's no like erase button or do over. That's it. No, once it's recorded, it is there. And the more you're like, oh, I hope you don't use that. They're going to use it. They don't give a fuck. Look, and that's what i love about bravo
Starting point is 00:41:45 they they don't pick and choose they're like you put it out there we're gonna air it they don't protect anyone that's why their shows do so well and with our show um because we have so many years of history as friends we we didn't just meet each other. We know a lot of deep, dark shit about each other. And that's the stuff that stings, right? And then also, I could say anything about any of them. And the world will think it's true, even if it's not. So I can make up some just nonsense and say it.
Starting point is 00:42:22 And like, well, no, you guys have been friends forever. Why would they make up something like that? Yeah are just you know certain people are just cut that way they're just they're mean and you know obviously mj has not had that many abortions has she had some i don't know i'm not privy to any of that information but to even bring it up is wrong yeah completely i mean i we just watched we binged a few episodes last night because i was behind and just being out here in quarantine like i have a dvr and whatnot but i just like forgot about tv for the last week and we've just been like doing us and then i was like wait a second i was like i'm episodes behind i got shaw's i got i still haven't seen the real housewives
Starting point is 00:43:01 new jersey reunion but so last night we binged the last few episodes and we also weren't the most sober so I was like so just like oh my god oh my god oh my god and I was shook when I saw that I was like after I'm like I I think I need a minute because like I mean as like a fan and viewer but also like as like y'all's friend like I've known you guys for like eight years now and so then seeing all of that i was just like oh my god like what happened with adam so you're upstairs and i went down and had his piece and said his things walked off and you approached him you saw like one second of you being like yo bro you don't talk to a woman like that what happened because you know i was upstairs me and nema had some beef that i was trying to just you know off camera the camera's running around.
Starting point is 00:43:45 I was just like, yo, Nima, I want to talk to you real quick. Because I hadn't had a chance to speak face to face with him. And I was just chit chatting with him. And one of the producers runs out and is like, what the fuck are you guys doing? Get back in there. So by that time, like a few minutes has already passed. I walk down and I just hear Adam like calling MJ every name in the book.
Starting point is 00:44:08 Like, fuck you, bitch. You know, go home. You're old. You're this tiny. I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa. In what world is 45 old? What the fuck are you? You can't talk to a woman that way. Yeah, that's what I heard you say. Whether you're gay or not, I don't give a damn. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:23 It's a woman. you got to respect her especially because you know each other you guys are friends but what makes it even crazier is that mj is reza's friend and through reza adam became friends with her and his relationship with her is a lot shorter lived than um than than than reza's yeah so if Reza says something, even though it's wrong, they are best, best, best, best friends, and they can get past it. But for Adam to do it, that's like Tommy saying something to Adam, for instance. It wouldn't be as okay as if MJ would say something to Adam.
Starting point is 00:45:01 Definitely. You get it? So it's just – it was just wrong. It was fucked up. It still makes me crazy when I see it because I can't believe what had happened. And everyone's pointing the finger at Nima saying that it was his fault,
Starting point is 00:45:16 but he was just doing what he thought was best and bringing two friends together so that they can have a conversation. And it just, the shit blew up to what it did yeah that was nuts it kind of took me back to like season two vanderpump rules when stassi backhanded kristin vibes i don't know if you saw that episode if you didn't you should watch it and like being there and living that i was like oh there was so much more that was said that wasn't on the show but i'm like that that, that took me back. Cause that's just like, when you cross that line, it's just, Oh, that shit is, that shit is irreparable, man. That's like,
Starting point is 00:45:50 all right. Um, let's be friends again, but I'm never going to tell you anything again, because I don't know when you're going to take that out of your arsenal and use it against me. And that's exactly what Rosa just said earlier. He said, look like, we can be friends on the surface level, but after that, that's it. Alright, well enough on that. I want to get back to you. How is Paulina? Paulina is amazing.
Starting point is 00:46:15 She's the love of my life. After I got divorced, I never thought I would ever fall in love again. Never wanted to same i was i was just uh i was just uh you know a wrecking machine i just wanted to just hit and never talk to him again if if they were breathing after i after hooked up with them i was just i was disgusted um and it got i'm serious i was like oh you? You know, like, I couldn't wait to get rid of them. And then you get to a point where you become sick of that. You're like, okay, I would possibly be okay with finding somebody.
Starting point is 00:46:55 And then I just managed to meet her. I don't know. She just fell into my lap, into my life. And I just, I forgot about ever not wanting to be in love again. And I just fell in love with her. She's amazing. One of my girlfriends who is a single mom, one of my girlfriends, she's a single mom.
Starting point is 00:47:15 And she wanted me to ask you a couple of questions about, she said, how and when did she tell you that she had kids? And were you hesitant, open-minded, or scared? Ooh. Wow, good question. Never would I have thought I would date a woman with children because it's so scary because you're raising another human being that is not yours that could potentially one day grow up to
Starting point is 00:47:47 say you know f you you're not my dad you can't tell me what to do you could resent you whatever it is and then it's a huge responsibility right i didn't have nine months to to to prepare for this it was just like a phone to my lap but um she told me when we went on our first date we talked about a lot of things it's funny um i found out she's she's vegan she didn't tell me she's vegan when we were when we were chatting um until our first date she told me about her kids on our first date like we sat we we went to taco bell and we had a two and a half hour date at Taco Bell. Stop it.
Starting point is 00:48:27 Wait, what do vegans eat at Taco Bell? Their beans are vegan. Oh, vegan. I found this out. So she had a taco, no meat, beans, no cheese.
Starting point is 00:48:39 Right? So all the other stuff. So she had beans. She had pretty much beans, right? But she didn't want to tell me because I'm like, let's go have sushi. Like, yeah, great. And she get in my house and I was driving to go get sushi. And she's like, you know what? Let's go have Taco Bell. I'm really craving it. Fantastic. Let's do it. Cheaper than sushi.
Starting point is 00:48:57 And we sat there and she told me everything. And I was all those things. I was scared. I was apprehensive. I was I was was, I was, you know, like I was torn. Is this really something I want to get involved in? So she made it really easy. I'm just like, why don't we just hang out and see how it goes? You know, there's, you don't need to commit to anything. And I'm not looking for a dad for my children. They have one. And I don't need your money. I don't need,
Starting point is 00:49:22 I just want to have some fun with you and you seem cool and let's see where this all goes. And she hadn't really dated anybody. I was the first guy she dated after she had gotten divorced two years later. Oh, wow. So, yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:34 And it took me like six months to meet her daughter. Yeah. And then I met her daughter and it's cute. Like our first date with her daughter, I actually brought flowers for mom and I brought a toy for Mila and it's cute. Like our first date with, with her daughter, I actually brought flowers for mom and I brought a toy for, for Mila.
Starting point is 00:49:48 That's cool. Yeah. That's cool, bro. What was, uh, what was harder finding out that she had kids or find out that she was a vegan?
Starting point is 00:50:00 That's so funny. It's a fucking toss up, man. Cause I liked my steak, you know? And it it's it's no fun if you if your girl doesn't eat with you right so i've been on dates where i'm like i want to order and she's like oh just have a salad it's not as fun unless you're both like really enjoying what you're eating together um but she's not a vegan anymore so she broke that um and the kids
Starting point is 00:50:24 have been such a blessing i love them there you go today i was working with mason on learning how to read and spell and i taught him how to ride a bike he learned in like five minutes literally oh my god i love that well done buddy yeah it's it's been it's been a huge blessing um i became the man that i always wanted to be. And it took Paulina coming into my life to make me want to be better so I could be like her. And these kids to make me feel like whole. It's really crazy. That's cool. I love that.
Starting point is 00:50:55 I mean, I've been with you on your journey from the beginning. So I've seen through all the Jessica in between and now here. So that makes me so happy. Look at us growing up. It's time. You know, Jessica was an amazing girl. We just weren't right for each other. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:14 We didn't complete each other. We were always competing with each other and just fighting. It wasn't right. And with Paulina, she lets me shine. She helps me. I help her when she needs it. And she shows me love and affection. And that's what I need.
Starting point is 00:51:29 And she does a great job of it. And she's just, she's awesome. I love that. She seems like she's not the type of girl who's going to like put up with your shit. Like she'll put you in your place if you need to be put in it. She will not put up with my shit for one second. It's funny. She's Persian.
Starting point is 00:51:43 She's Jewish. I've never dated a Persian or Jewish girl in my life life it's the first one um so we get each other she just she understands me the culture um you know she has two brothers so she gets it so yeah she puts me in check and i and i and and i kind of like it because um no one wants a doormat right no one wants a doormat. Right. No one wants a doormat. Nope. How long have you guys been dating for? Six months now. That's amazing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:10 Yeah. I took her on a date, I took her on a date, a couple of dates and I left the country for a month and invited her to Australia with me and that was how we started our relationship. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:21 Took her on a month trip around Australia and Bali. Nice. I was like, wait, is this what it feels like to be relationship yeah yeah took on a month trip around around australia new zealand australia and bali uh-huh i was like wait is this what it feels like to be like on the bachelor bachelorette like you're in this paradise and then you come back and you're like wait we don't live in the same city that's so crazy i've i've done that before um and i'm so now you guys are living you moved to you moved to america so i've lived i lived here for five years so i own a gym in san diego so it's funny you're saying working out and all that so i own a gym group fitness so i ended up having to close the gym down because of this
Starting point is 00:52:54 whole virus stuff going on right now for quarantine and that so now she and i have been i've been working around the clock just creating at-home workouts now for everybody and like uh and like a wrist is like a resistance band kit because not everyone has access to everything so just been been working with the business like that so uh but i live in san diego i'm staying in san diego and sheena's up in la but we get to come out here to palm springs to her house which is dope bro so when the quarantine lifts mate come out here for sure yeah well you sheena you did really well people from san diego are fucking dope and I love my Australian people. I've been to Australia.
Starting point is 00:53:28 Yes. Bondi Beach. I agree. People from Australia are pretty dope. My two exes are from San Diego, so. I was like, there's still good ones down there. But they weren't Australian. That's the thing.
Starting point is 00:53:40 I was like, I just needed a date outside of America. I just needed to date a man, you know? A real man. That's true. You need a guy that looks like a date outside of America. She just needed to date a man, you know? A real man. That's true. You need a guy that looks like a Viking like this. Yeah. With a slap in my robe and all. Yeah, do you like our matching robes?
Starting point is 00:53:52 You know, whenever I was dating a girl and she would bring up her actions, I'd punish her. That's how it is. Well, the thing is, I get to live. I have to live in it. So I have to sit here and watch her make out with groomsmen at weddings. You didn't watch that episode. I didn't watch it. But all I have to think about, though, is this.
Starting point is 00:54:12 Back around in my head, I'm like, oh, yeah, this is awesome to hear about it or to see it. But then it's like, I should be pissed if she saw a camera of me for the last nine years. So we're good. Yeah, exactly. She's got a lot of room still, man. Yeah, we're good to go. We're out of that one. What other questions we got going on?
Starting point is 00:54:30 I mean, that was pretty much it. I just wanted to talk about his CBD. Give us some tea. Off topic, give us some tea. What do you got for Sheena? What you guys have seen so far pales in comparison to what's coming up in the next few episodes. I had to answer a bunch of questions about what's making the cut. Fuck, man.
Starting point is 00:54:50 It's juicy. It'll make you feel like, damn, is Shaw's going to come back for another season after this? Some of this shit seems like irreparable. It's mad. It's nuts. Who was that question asking about being toxic?
Starting point is 00:55:06 Oh, yeah. One of the girls wrote in. We had a question come in from one of her posts asking a question for you. Jade Alana said, do you feel the show's dynamic has gotten too toxic? It's gotten really, really toxic. It's gotten really, really toxic. But we haven't all been in a room to really hash out our differences and really talk to each other and talk this shit through. So I think when that happens, and once, like Reza was so mad at me.
Starting point is 00:55:45 He's like, you chose sides and fuck you and like all this nonsense. I'm like what are you talking like no I heard like who did you hear from oh so so and so was saying this and so and so was saying that about you I was like dude wait until you see for yourself with your own eyes and then you could judge on what is truth and what is what is not and um he was telling me that I was taking sides and i'm a very fair person i'm a libra so i like things balanced i don't take sides and now that the footage is coming out and he's saying like this last episode i clearly wasn't taking sides i was grilling mj on the shit she did and i still think they're both at fault no one's right here okay yeah right so you guys just gotta watch it's it's a really
Starting point is 00:56:25 fucking great episode coming up this next one and you guys are gonna get a lot more clarity once okay things unravel and i mean all reunions are postponed till further notice so yeah we don't know when which is a great thing because it's going to give people a little bit of time to cool down and cool off. That's true. Unless we host a reunion live via video chat with everybody. Let's do it. Let's do it. I love that.
Starting point is 00:56:54 We'll just do like a Google Hangout, get everyone together. I mean, honestly, that's how the reunions might be. We'll see. We'll see. You know, if I had to say so so i think the reunions should go on because people want to know um but the other thing is that you know andy's got covet and and god knows when he's going to get better hopefully soon but you know our reunions should be coming up anytime and you know they've responded so they should do a video one and and somehow mediate it where we
Starting point is 00:57:24 can all get our words in but definitely there's a lot of unanswered questions that people want to know about so yeah i know i was literally on the edge of my seat watching that last night it was good this is this is this is the best season of shahs yet and it's only gonna get crazier yeah um and a lot of people's questions will be answered as they watch. All right. Tell everyone where they can get your CBD line. Hell yeah. So check out www.au-sante.com. So au-sante.com. Boom. Love it. Oh my God. I'm so excited for my package. There you go.

Starting point is 00:58:49 you know like the american pie yeah so i just the shervinator cool yeah so we'll be right back with coming up on adulting like a mother father colle Colleen Ballinger joins the podcast. But I remember when I found out you were pregnant, I was like, oh, no. I just talked so terribly about pregnancy to her. I hope I didn't scare her. And working just 24-7, and I was also still uploading four times a week on my YouTube channels. And I thought to myself, nothing will ever be harder than this. And then I brought it up in Mommy and Me, and I said, okay, I kind of need to get something off my chest. And they weren't surprised because they're just like, we saw it coming.
Starting point is 00:59:29 You've been like, you know, inching towards that direction. We could see it. All right. Next up, we have Shervin. And I just called you the Shervinator. I don't know. Do other people call you that or did I just like make that up from American Pie? No, I've heard it a few times.
Starting point is 00:59:48 I was like, yeah, babe, we got the Shervinator coming on. He's like, what? I was like, well, Shervin. I was like, I don't know. It just sounded right. How you doing, bro? Nice to meet you. How you doing?
Starting point is 00:59:56 You guys look like you're very quarantine comfortable. Yeah, you know. You know, podcasting and live, calling in talent like this. You should see the setup, bro. We've got the camera on one of my music speakers, a circle light with my camera. You plugged into my computer, which is plugged into the TV. On the big screen.
Starting point is 01:00:15 So we've got, this is going to be for, this is for a podcast, but then we've also got a YouTube channel for us. So this is kind of like the reunion, if it wasn't a reunion, if you took one person at a time. Yeah, it's just individual interviews. So I want goss. I want good stuff. Spill it all because we've had some good chats. We had Reza on first and we just had Mike rolling over to yourself.
Starting point is 01:00:35 And then we got Nima to cap it off. So the majority of the questions that came in for you are, why aren't you on the show more? I asked that same question. I was like, wait, what does he do? And her reply was, he's very successful. The show, I don't know if it works. I said he doesn't need the show.
Starting point is 01:00:55 He has many successful businesses. But we love you on the show, and we need more Shervins. Thank you. Thank you. You know, it is a lot of, I give it to you guys. I'm sure you know it is a lot of time commitment, and there's a lot involved in it. I mean, it is a lot of, I give it to you guys. I'm sure, you know, it is a lot of time commitment and there's, there's a lot involved in it. I mean, it's a lot of fun. I, I cherish every moment that I had, but I did have a lot of stuff going on this year and, and I just didn't, I couldn't afford it. I didn't have the luxury of time this year to do it. So,
Starting point is 01:01:20 you know, I, I got to be involved in, in some of it and, and it was fun. And, and, you know, at the end of end of the day, these are my friends, and I hang out with them anyway. I constantly am talking to Maris. I talk to Mike. I talk to Nima. We see each other. We get together. The difference was there was cameras there, right? Right.
Starting point is 01:01:38 We knocked out a couple trips. It was fun. It was an interesting season to be a part of. I noticed you said MJ, Mike, and Nima, but you didn't mention Reza. You know, Reza doesn't really kick it too much off camera. I never have anyway with him. I know like in previous years, even Mike, like, I don't know, maybe on the non-filming scene, when we're not filming,
Starting point is 01:02:08 I think they only hang out and maybe see each other maybe two times. That's interesting. The entire time that we're not filming. Yeah. Everybody gets pretty busy. The other thing is, in all fairness, we are in each other's faces for so long, so many hours, back to back to back. Oh, totally. A little break isn't bad, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:21 I agree. That's when people were, like, tweeting me and asking they're like oh why aren't you on the trip with the girls and this and that were you not invited I'm like I was just with them for the last four months I'm enjoying this time without them nothing against them but like I don't need to go on every little trip like that we're not filming exactly exactly you know and the other thing is like I said because it's such a big time commitment, you almost want to make up for all the stuff that you weren't able to get to during this time. You know, work, family, just a little, you know, peace and quiet. Yeah, traveling on your own schedule.
Starting point is 01:02:54 Not much peace and quiet. You're getting wearing that same friend shirt, but okay. I digress. Okay, so I want to talk about the things you were involved in there is so much going on on the show this season i think it's probably the craziest most entertaining but sad at the same time season tell me okay we had the pool party massacre we've got team reza, team MJ. We got Mike and Nima kind of, well, I guess Nima's more MJ, but it's like, they're kind of in between, like where do you fall into this?
Starting point is 01:03:31 And what else can you tell us happened at the pool party massacre that we didn't see? Well, I wasn't there at the pool party myself, but of course I've gathered a lot of- But I'm sure you've heard. That's kind of told me and I've heard some behind the scenes stuff. So it was pretty much what you saw. And Reza felt like he was being blindsided.
Starting point is 01:03:50 He felt like he was being ambushed. I'm, to be honest, and I think I've expressed this on camera throughout the filming that I did, and I'll express it off camera. I'm disappointed in Reza. I'm disappointed in Reza. I'm disappointed in Destiny. And I don't, I'm disappointed in Reza. I'm disappointed in Reza. I'm disappointed in Destiny. And I don't think I'm alone in saying that, you know, right now they're playing damage control.
Starting point is 01:04:11 They got to chase it and try to spin it as best they can to protect themselves. I understand. But, hey, we all goof and we all make mistakes. And Reza once told me himself, the sooner you're accountable to it and the sooner you own it, the sooner everybody forgives you for it. So I hope, I really wish he would take a piece of his own advice and just own it and say you know what i had a moment of heat and anger i fucked up and i'm sorry right that's all it's gonna take um you know and tommy did what he had to do i mean you know me i'm a very traditional guy and and i'm i'm i i do follow these like the old school world
Starting point is 01:04:44 rules of what what it means to be a man and chivalry. You don't talk to a female like that. You don't do that. You know, it's wrong. You don't bring up her personal decisions, her medical choices. These are things you don't do. And as MJ's husband, Tommy, I expected nothing less. He's going to go stand up for the honor of his girl, right?
Starting point is 01:05:06 Somebody disrespects your girl, you're going to stand there and just let it happen? No, you're going to do something about it, right? Yep. And I, you know, I can't say I necessarily condone the way Tommy went about it, but I definitely understand where the frustration, the fire came from. And I think Reza needs to take that responsibility. He needs to own that. Hey, you know what? I set home homeboy off i talked shit about his wife i talked shit about you know his
Starting point is 01:05:29 wife almost dying giving birth to his son obviously the dude's gonna be a little upset right and you should also know who you poke at right tommy's gonna be the kind of guy he's not gonna sit with you he's not gonna write a disgruntled email oh you saw you saw you saw mike on the when it happened mark was like no no no no no no, no, no, no, stop it. And he's like, look, I respect Mike. I respect Tom. That's not my problem. Like, Tom's a good dude.
Starting point is 01:05:51 Because, yeah, you got to understand your audience. And I think Reza just really was heated in the moment as well. But as long as he – he's got to own it, I think. And if he owns it, but owns it on, like, a mature level of non-excuse not excuse own like not because of this or this it was like you know what guys like fuck that was me i fucked up it won't be the last time he messes up it wouldn't be the first time he messes up and i'm not being hypocritical shit i'll probably mess up on something today yeah yeah it's part of life and it's it's part of being on a reality show if you don't mess up it's a boring ass show exactly exactly you know it's overcoming it that's important so i think that and and you know reza has
Starting point is 01:06:30 a lot of there's in general we have a lot of female fans and i think they're offended you know yeah no i had so many mj's choice of what to do with her body is not a it's not something to be to be ashamed of at any point you know you can't shame somebody for that bro that's choice of what to do with her body is not something to be ashamed of at any point. You can't shame somebody for that, bro. That's none of your business. You can't put her on blast like that. That's none of your business. That's not anybody else's business.
Starting point is 01:06:53 If she wanted everybody to know she would have tattooed it on her forehead, she doesn't need you to be her speaker. Of course. So, you know, I think that something needs to be respected. something needs to be respected on destiny's end i think destiny um i think destiny i think she uh she had a real kind of clear sight and plan of what she was going to do and then mess showed up and she didn't have the scapegoat to blame it on so she had to kind of sign up like you take on some of the consequences of her actions right so that's that's what we saw. That's what we saw. You can't blame somebody when they're not around to defend themselves. Exactly. We saw that when you guys were in Phoenix.
Starting point is 01:07:30 You guys were at dinner and then she just, you're like claim it, own it, and she couldn't. She had to run away. That's it. That's it. I mean, what can I say? What can you say? Come on. Where do you stand with Destiny right now?
Starting point is 01:07:45 And I also want to know where you and Gigi are because I heard that she got upset about you trying to get into CBD behind her back, as if no one else in the world can do that. You know what? I don't know. One, I didn't know the CBD industry was owned by Gomez exclusively. Good to know.
Starting point is 01:08:04 Duly noted, right? Yeah yeah uh and two i'm not in the cbd industry so i have no idea what you're talking yeah i mean that's my thing you know sometimes something is so claimed that's so far off from reality you can't even i can't even comment to it like what am i supposed to say that's like me saying hey sheena you know you you i'm the only person that had like some strip club and you just opened one you're not even in the strip club yeah hell yeah yeah i'm just saying you know it just doesn't make sense i can't really i don't know what to say it's unfortunate you know we were close um i think uh i think there's some disappointment
Starting point is 01:08:41 on definitely on my end and she she says there's some on her end, but we've never had a conversation about it. So I wouldn't be able to say it. As far as Destiny goes, again, you know, we all goof. And, you know, when you're filming and everything's happening at once and it's always back to back to back to back, we all get kind of stressed out and put under pressure. And sometimes we make a split-second decision we've been ourselves regretting you'd be there after right so you know she kind of hopped and puffed and went off at me at dinner she picked up the steak knife right yeah yeah i don't know
Starting point is 01:09:15 i'm pretty sure they're gonna cut that out and not show it at all even in the next episode but i don't know um she did pick up the steak knife. I wasn't intimidated. I wasn't scared. It's like, listen, girl, you're huffing and puffing because you got called out. It is what it is. I don't care. I know the truth because I can see it. If you don't want to own it, you don't want to deal with the consequences. That's your trip, not mine. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 01:09:38 All right. Tell me, are you still single for all the ladies out there? Yeah, I'm still single. You say that hesitantly. He's got a San Francisco shirt on. Of course he's single. Oh, wow. Hey, we're a Super Bowl.
Starting point is 01:09:52 Listen, man. Hey, I've been quarantining for 14 days now. Or, no, 13 days now. I've got the quarantine beard going. Yeah, his is gone. I need a little something to make me feel like back home, you know? There you go. Well played.
Starting point is 01:10:05 Hey, Garoppolo's a great quarterback. Also, my manager, he represents Kettle. Oh, wow. Yeah, so he's your boy. He's crushing it. He's done one for him, too, so that's good. Yeah. Well, hopefully those guys get another shot at it next year.
Starting point is 01:10:21 Hey, they've built a solid program. I think everyone in that whole franchise is working together. So I think you guys are going to be up there. You're going to be a top team every time anyway. We'll see how football comes around this year with no one playing, no one watching. Okay, so speaking of football. Oh, spoiler alert.
Starting point is 01:10:37 So I am a huge Chargers fan. Like, it's known. I am a Chargers fan. Die hard. Have been forever. So is Nima. What? So is Nima. So is Nima. Oh it's, it's known. I am a Chargers fan. Die hard. Have been. What? Oh,
Starting point is 01:10:48 I know. I know. That was one of the first things we bonded over. I was like, okay, you're cool. Um, so the team reached out to me and said that they're doing something new in 2020 with the draft and want to have a celebrity.
Starting point is 01:11:00 I guess I'm considered that announced the pick with a legend or current player. And they picked me for the second round to announce the draft. And then Corona came. And it shut down. It's not necessarily shut down. But I don't know if they're necessarily going to do the same program that they were planning at the Bellagio Fountains. Like now with everyone,
Starting point is 01:11:25 they're saying there's going to be no pictures with the commissioner, like no touching, no, this, no, that. So I'm like, are they even going to have me there? So like, this is literally like a dream of mine. And it's just like being crushed by Corona. That sucks. You know, I, it's, you know, it's, it's so messed up because the word Corona is always being such fun times. And now I can't times. I know.
Starting point is 01:11:47 I can't wait to reopen my gym. I'm having a Corona party. We just got to call it COVID. I'm actually also going to buy some stocks in Corona because once this thing tanks, it's going to pump after a year. I beat it, Corona. Slamming Corona. It's going to be a Corona challenge. Yeah, there's going to be a slew of Corona jokes for sure. There already has been.
Starting point is 01:12:02 It's just going to continue going. You know, You mentioned that. That sucks. I'm sure you saw today's announcement that they're going to be most likely postponing the Tokyo Olympic Games. It's like these Olympic athletes from all around the world dedicate their lives to this. Train their whole lives. They've been coming to this moment. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:21 To peak. They come to that moment to peak, and then they just get – It's not like you can stay at that level and stay consistently ready. No, you get older. No. Age also do it. Your body only takes so much. It's crazy time.
Starting point is 01:12:33 But let us shout out anything that you're working on right now that we should know about. You know what? Honestly, I'm just working on staying healthy and being safe. If I want to shout out anything, I'll say, please stay at home. Please don't go out. It's not a joke. The sooner that we all kind of abide to that, the sooner this is over with.
Starting point is 01:12:52 Right? Yeah. And we don't want to see the military on our streets. I don't want to look down the sidewalk. Oh, my God. I've been seen on social media. That's crazy. Let's not do that.
Starting point is 01:13:00 Let's not create that memory for ourselves. Let's just stay at home. Let's get it over with. Watch your Netflix. Catch a lot of good shows shows i'm sure sheena can give you some great suggestions on which ones to watch oh yeah and let's just get this over with let's be careful and let's uh let's take society into account rather than being selfish let's not give ourselves that i was talking to mike and nima and mj and our group text i told them i said i really believe that this was necessary for somewhat of a social reset i think we've gotten lost we've been awakening that consumes where society is always
Starting point is 01:13:29 caring about the next vacation and the next luxury and the next instagram right yeah the next pick the next post the next story like we've lost track of what what's really valuable our morals education family and i think basic morals like washing hands basic morals like washing hands and like hygiene we lost we lost control or don't buy every roll of toilet paper so the old guy next you can get one too right you're gonna fill it again oh like calm down so i think this is a you know that there's a blessing in disguise where it's gonna humble us all and i think i i agree disguise where it's going to humble us all. I agree with that.
Starting point is 01:14:09 It's what we've been preaching on our platforms as well. It's just like, I feel like out of all of the blessing in disguise, like you look at, you look at mother nature, mate. Like look at the pollution that's died. Like global warming is a thing. This is like, I just think it's an awakening. Just what you said. All of that encompasses the same thing. It's like, this is an awakening for us that we can go through this and i'm really looking forward to what happens after this what how society do we react do we go back to the same trends i hope we react i hope we
Starting point is 01:14:35 become more awakened to it you know yeah i mean i definitely got a lot of shit on twitter because a couple weeks ago like i, when this was already a news story, but it wasn't like lockdown, stay in your house, like severe yet. I was in Toronto on a press trip and a couple of the things I wanted to do, like we couldn't go to the CN Tower. They're like, oh, that's closed. I'm like, oh, that sucks. Like, I guess I'll have to come back.
Starting point is 01:14:58 And then the brunch I was supposed to host got canceled. And it was just one thing by one thing. And we're like, OK, maybe we should just head back a day a day early so glad we did because then it's like they closed the borders a couple days later all of this but then we're like flying back from toronto and there's like 20 people on our flight and it was one of those planes there was like a three four three and there were 20 people on our entire flight came home went to the grocery store, there, the shelves were empty. And I'm like, oh wow. Okay. Like I've heard like murmurs and I just wasn't taking it seriously. And I'm like on Twitter that night and I'm like, oh, whatever. Like, I'm still going to live my life. I'm not
Starting point is 01:15:34 going to live it in fear, isolation and this and that. And then all these people started attacking me and I'm like, I'm fine. I'm not sick. And they're like, you don't understand what asymptomatic means. You can, and then after I'm getting all this information from these people being assholes, but also very educational at the same time, I completely changed. And I apologize. I was like, I did not understand the severity of it. I do not watch the news. I do not read the news.
Starting point is 01:15:56 Call me ignorant, but it's just, that is such a negative thing in our daily lives. Watching the news. There's always a child being murdered or just something terrible that i wasn't realizing how severe this was but i'm like okay now this is a worldwide lockdown like this shit's crazy so i'm like i packed my bags i moved into my house in palm springs we've left to go to the grocery store pharmacy go out on the golf course where no one else is for miles like but we're just here like set up our little podcast studio and i'm like no but we're more fortunate than others that's for sure absolutely yeah definitely definitely but i just i wasn't taking it seriously this is this pandemic has
Starting point is 01:16:38 been growing exponentially daily so you're right a couple weeks ago two three weeks ago was totally different than it is now but like now i think at this stage, there is no excuse. Like you've seen it. You've seen all the memes. We've all seen the gentleman that's very well endowed, right? Yeah. You know, we've all seen the pictures. We've all seen all these things. So it's no longer a secret. At this point, we all have to kind of jump in and do our own and stay the fuck home.
Starting point is 01:17:02 Yeah. That's it. 100%. So this is my new podcast i was like we're gonna do some zoom we're gonna see if this works it's gonna be a bitch for my producer to edit but thank you for having me on thank you for doing this i know it was so last minute so thank you for being available man i appreciate it nice meeting you you got a good energy too so it was a good chat and let's just stay positive for the people and we're a society that can do wonders let's just pull our head out of our own asses and do it.
Starting point is 01:17:25 Yeah. Perfect. Thanks, guys. All right. Thanks, sir. Bye. Take care. Bye-bye.
Starting point is 01:17:32 Look, I got a good as gold background. That just gives you my hair. Yep. There we go. There we go. So I figured this would make this more appropriate for the podcast. Yeah. I like it. I love it. All right. So I figured this would make this is more appropriate for the podcast. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:45 Love it. All right. So where to begin, Nima? Well, I'd like to hear how much shit my castmates spoke about me. Okay. So actually, no one talked shit about you. There was no shit talking. There was no shit talking about you.
Starting point is 01:18:02 Yeah. But we also didn't ask because I wanted you to cap it off with everything that I'm going to tell you that they said. So Reza spilled the most tea by far. Mike was actually quite chill and Sherv was quite chill. There were like a few things. That actually doesn't surprise me at all. That makes sense for their personality types. Yeah. So when I.
Starting point is 01:18:27 I'm like right there in the middle between these two like i'm i'm not quite reza i'm not quite mike so i'll give you i'll give you more tea than those guys which name is that one is that is that the oh this is vacation nema is that the vacation nema that gives us a bit more or is it the other nema has a total liability but no this is podcast nema doesn't give a fuck so for the safety of that TV screen, we bring you podcast. Nima. Yes. I love it. Whoever at zoom added this feature.
Starting point is 01:18:57 God bless you. You are a true hero. So, um, okay. so um okay raza told us that there was or is a recording that ali didn't know he was being recorded and it's him saying that mj was like putting him up to this and this was like a plan for like two years and mj supposedly asked raza a couple seasons ago, oh, can this be like a storyline? Can Naked Janga be a storyline? And it said no. And then it reissued, resurfaced now with Ali talking about it.
Starting point is 01:19:31 And supposedly there's a recording and Raza said once he heard the recording, he knew that MJ really did it and he could never forgive her. But then what Mike said is, where's the recording? He also said he would forgive her if she just owned it because she's not given any ownership to it okay let's let's let's let's dissect and destroy this entire thing two hours earlier okay yeah so unequivocally where's the recording is my first question just like mine
Starting point is 01:19:57 you know maybe reza has let's give reza the benefit of the doubt and say maybe he has this recording and maybe he's just been stashing it with all his gold to drop at the reunion for us and and let's just assume that that might be in the realm of possibilities reza told me about six months ago but before we started actually a year ago before we started filming season eight he said we're all part of this show and this group of friends and the only way this works is for everyone to be very open about their lives in an honest way and i said well what if someone has like boundaries and he said if someone tells me don't talk about this that's the number one thing i'm going to talk about every single time. Like that's Reza's MO and that's how he operates on the show.
Starting point is 01:20:46 That's why he's involved in everyone's business yet because his friend, let's just say was like, look, this is a problem that I know about. And, and Reza doesn't want to talk about it. So using Reza's logic, we're going to talk about it. Like how much of a fucking hypocrite are you, dude? Like you do this to everyone, literally everyone in our group. So it's really kind of hard to feel sympathy for the guy i don't know from my perspective and by the way i don't believe that recording exists i really don't because that was just yeah gone on the conclusion that he did have it so then okay say let's play devil's advocate say the recording
Starting point is 01:21:23 doesn't exist then that's just something he's saying to like save face or whatever but why because i think reza because i think reza is not getting a lot of positive feedback to his abortion comments at the pool and And if I was in his position, I would, I would deflect as much as I could. I 100% I wouldn't want, like, the more you can shift the focus off of you when you're getting sort of dumped on. That's, I think it's a survival tactic on his end. I didn't know I just it's kind of hard to defend the guy when he acted the way that he did. Yeah. Yeah. And he said that it's coming up in a later episode, but he apologizes.
Starting point is 01:22:13 I mean, there's obviously words that you just can't take back, and you can apologize, but it's still going to be there. But he said he was disgusted with himself and his behavior. I believe that. I actually believe that. I think Reza does feel guilt for that and the way that it was handled i think it was a a momentary reaction that i think he would take back but that's where i like have more of a softer side for reza but the harder side for reza comes from sort of the hypocrisy in his behavior the way that he's sort of done this to everybody and then for some reason like if i i was if i was victimized by my best friend of 30 years i would not be going on the offensive as much as as i think he is like i would be like look i'm done
Starting point is 01:23:00 with you we're not going to talk again that it. But it seems like he's constantly attacking in social media and in the public eye. I don't understand why. It makes no sense to me. What about the relationship with Ali? Ali, sorry. Adam? No, Ali.
Starting point is 01:23:17 Oh. How long has he been hanging around you guys as friends? And what role does he feel he plays in you guys' friendship group? Because Reza feels like he's just trying to just get in there and be a part of you guys. Ali is not my friend. Ali was never my friend. Ali was a guy that I knew through two people, MJ and Adam.
Starting point is 01:23:37 And those were our connections to Ali. And then, you know, group settings, he'd be there. And you'd get the guy, like, we became friends. Like, we became, group settings, he'd be there and you'd get the guy. Like we became friends, like we became friends through default basically. So when his relationship with Adam dried up and then his relationship with like Maris dried up, like we don't have any communication anymore. I do not believe, I actually do not believe that Adam cheats on Reza. But I do think that Adam is, operates way beyond what you'd want your husband to operate as yeah I think Ali was on the receiving end of probably a ton of those text messages I
Starting point is 01:24:11 know he has the text message he showed them to me um I think that Ali is I don't know my only criticism Ali is I know he's really desperate to be on the show. Gotcha. And that's something that I've always picked up from him. There's a bit of a thirst for Shaz. So I think he did himself a disservice because his intentions were not really to tell Reza anything. It was just to be an avenue to be on Shaz. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:24:40 Okay, I have a very serious question for you now. Have you ever played Naked Jenga? No, I've never played Naked Jenga. I don't know serious question for you now. Have you ever played naked Jenga? No, I've never played naked Jenga. I don't know that I would want to. I don't even like regular Jenga. I don't think naked Jenga, like watching somebody naked, like trying to move.
Starting point is 01:24:57 There's nothing sexually attractive about that focus on a naked body and the athleticism when it falls on them. It's like, like oh damn it now we have to we have to wash this Jenga set yeah
Starting point is 01:25:08 I don't want to I don't want to ruin like Jenga like let's just keep it fun and like eventful I lost my phone oh here it is
Starting point is 01:25:15 okay I have some questions Nima yeah some fan questions came in you got the questions what else
Starting point is 01:25:23 I'm trying to think of what else we heard from Reza. I mean, that was the biggest thing was he said there was a recording. Yeah. A recording is like total news to me. I have never
Starting point is 01:25:34 heard of that. This is the first time I've even heard of it. I think that's what he mentioned too. He's like, I haven't told anybody this, but there is a recording. Wait wait but did you already know that no no shit so that was something he just told us i've ever heard of a record did we spill that to mike too yeah we told them uh-oh we forgot but we i'm pretty sure the conversation went like this
Starting point is 01:26:01 i have something that nobody knows yet oh my god i don't even think that mj knows about like i mean assuming that it's i don't think she knows that a recording exists whether it's real or not yeah she doesn't know that when she's never mentioned it to me so i'm a little suspicious that this thing actually exists but i just feel like because that was that was why he's deeply engraved in this like like that's why it hurts him so much is because no one else knows about this this one thing and that was that was the one thing that kept him kept him true to his i thought he was why why tell shenanigans i think i think i think i mean i think he just got high and started spilling tea and i was like i think i think it was just like, I feel like for him, like you said,
Starting point is 01:26:47 his actions represent the expression, the excitement of the show. He lives through that. So I feel like this is just like, I can ride this, but this is the actual reason. So I feel like it just adds value to his character. And you're seeing it maybe come out. I might be completely wrong. And when this reunion rocks up, there's no such thing as a recording.
Starting point is 01:27:07 But I mean, regardless, we're filming, vlogging, and podcasting, and it's going to come out this week. So it's going to see you. So basically, yeah, he said that he's seen the recording and that Ali did not know he was being recorded and was just telling the story as normal. Who did the recording? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:27:25 Because the only two people that ever hung out with Ali, that Reza would, Adam ended his friendship with Ali over a year ago. So while all of this was going down, they were not in communication, which means that Adam was never around him to record him. The only two people that were around Ali were Merce and Destiny.
Starting point is 01:27:46 It's obviously not going to be Maris. So then it would have to have been Destiny. Who was that other girl he was talking about? Who? He mentioned another female, but it wasn't any of those names. MJ? No. Maris? No. That's the same person.
Starting point is 01:28:01 Somebody else. He mentioned another person too. Was it Gonesa? Maybe Gonesa, yeah. Because you know him more as Gigi and MJ. Yeah. that's the same person somebody else he mentioned another person too was it gone so maybe going there so yeah because you know him more as gg and mj yeah gotcha yeah i don't think i'm not gonna be wrong but i don't think golnasa had a relationship with ali either so like you have to think about like if someone if somebody recorded the guy it'd have to be someone in the last eight months six seven months hung out with the guy and the only two people that were did that were destiny and maris it's obviously not going to be maris maris isn't going to report a conversation with you know that she's privy to but like that's
Starting point is 01:28:35 yeah it would have to be destiny it would make no other sense that's some good that's some good insight we just see i got a little high each break and i had another white claw each break so now i'm like circling back to what we did three hours ago i'm like oh my god that was tea that was tea baby all right moving on i'm totally shocked guys i i had never ever heard of a secret recording all right here it is i call it on you've seen it here on shenanigans all right that this their recording comes out it's going to be bloody beautiful to see how that comes out. That's my call. I'll just tell you that I'll believe it when I see it or hear it.
Starting point is 01:29:12 When we hear it. Yes. All right. What was your first impression of your blind date? Oh, that was the worst experience. Had you ever been on a blind date before? Never, never been on a blind date in my life. And I had told them from jump.
Starting point is 01:29:29 I was like, listen, guys, like I'm super, super picky with girls. Like it's not going to be cute to like put me in a situation where I'm, I'm not into it. And it was, I was like, no, they, this is this network ask. Sheena, you know about network asks when it comes from that. And it was just like, that was it. We're going to go. I was told I had to go.
Starting point is 01:29:49 And from the minute I stepped into the date, like the minute we locked eyes, I was like, this is a disaster. And I just drank as much wine as I could find. Was she blonde? Huh? Was she blonde? She was like, okay, everything that I don't date,
Starting point is 01:30:06 she was like, I'm Tony and tall and blonde. Like, I date short brunettes, and I'm getting a nine-foot-tall blonde girl. And we just, it was like, immediately did not buy. And we have to sit through a three-hour thing, and it was really bad. Brutal. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:30:25 And of course, you know what it's like when you watch back something and it's cut away that gives context that was not maybe. I'm sorry. Have you, have you watched an episode? Let me give you an example. Over here at table seven is where Jack's punched or who was it?
Starting point is 01:30:41 Tom punched Jack. Tom punched Jack. But don't worry. That was at my engagement party it doesn't define me yeah he knows what we're talking about boom yeah that was a great quoting of me babe good job that blind date was let's just put it this way she hit my dms multiple times after the date asking to hang out and i was just very respectfully like, oh, I see the Phil connection. Nice meeting you. But they cut it like I was the one
Starting point is 01:31:08 wanting to pursue more with them. Hey, I felt the connection. How you doing? Hi, welcome to my life this season. And I was just like, dude, you gotta be fucking kidding me. When they told me, I was like, you've got to be fucking kidding me.
Starting point is 01:31:18 Like that is so not the reality at all. But it was whatever. Oh, that was, so when you look at trending names and we trend your name, that's what comes up. Nima loves blind dates. Like that's the trend. So they've done a great job.
Starting point is 01:31:33 It's a one and done for me. That's all right. Well, I was trying to get you a little kick by a, what would be plenty of fish or bumble. I was trying to get you hooked up on bumble. We'll take care of that. Bumble? Bumble. It's like blind dating, right?
Starting point is 01:31:43 Were you ever on bumble? No. Be careful what you say. don't do blind dates i like short brunettes um what was the unedited version of the pool party massacre oh oh oh what can you say without getting a phone call tomorrow? No, you can say it all. Yeah, I mean, no, the other version of it was, I would say the biggest disparity that I didn't like was when I walked in with Maris, I knew it was going to be a thing. I knew that, but my hope was that there'd be like a moment of frustration and then two best friends would kind of get together and like hash it out.
Starting point is 01:32:24 Like, you know, have a moment of like shit talking and then it's good um it wasn't blindsiding him was gonna piss him off when i walked in there like it was it was the edit of the show made it seem like reza and gg just sort of like casually got up and they were like oh it's okay we're gonna leave now not the case like reza got up he like i think he cussed mike out maybe and forget he sent me a text that was like you and i are no longer cool it was a dramatic like walk off and then golesikov she was very upset and then reza like cussed me and mike out upstairs, you see us by the street, for a good like 10 minutes. After he threw the release form? It's not an easy task. And they glossed over all of that.
Starting point is 01:33:14 I asked, because I saw some questions come in saying, oh, what were the papers you threw? Was it a script? And he said it was the producer's pad of releases of everyone at the party. That's probably exactly what it was. No, Reza does not script shit for the show. None of releases of everyone at the party. That's probably exactly what it was. No, Reza does not script shit for the show. None of us do.
Starting point is 01:33:29 No, the thing is when this shit happens in our lives, you're like, you can't script this. There's no possible way. You're going into a – everyone's like, why are you going to lunch? It's so fake. It's like they're going to – the only thing they'll ever create are opportunities for us
Starting point is 01:33:44 to see each other more frequently because we're making a show. That is it. So if they ask me to go to a lunch with Reza, everything from the moment we sit down is our authentic conversation. No one's saying a script of any sort. Yeah. You know, that happened to me at the reunion last year. What happened? I was, I brought, I took little notes, because I work that way, of like, Reza, I don't like,
Starting point is 01:34:12 like basically anything someone's going to say to me, I like, and they cut a little BTS YouTube, and I'm sitting in the chair, and I'm holding this piece of paper. It was like, clear as day, N was going off the script you know this shit is so fake and i i wanted to explain it but i was like what's the explanation hi it's my first reunion so i took fucking clips i'm like what was worse but yeah but like i feel like i feel like that is like i feel like if i was on a show if i was on the show and I was to go into a reunion, motherfucker, you bet that I am going through all of the –
Starting point is 01:34:49 I'm calling together my boys. I'm calling together the girls. All right, notepads out. We're binging the whole season because I want all the good stuff, all the bad stuff, and give me some good ones just to really right hook them and win the fight. I don't prepare at all. I'm not going into a battle unprepared. I don't prepare at all going into a battle unprepared
Starting point is 01:35:05 literally okay so this is tradition for the last like eight years the night before the reunion ariana and i will be we're night owls her sandoval and i are always up but ariana and i will be texting how like we can't sleep and we're nervous or this and that until like 3 a.m but then we have to be up and in hair and makeup at like 6 a.m so every reunion we're on like two or three hours sleep because like we just text with each other but like i never like she's prepared before like the time when her and i had a fight she i mean she was ready for that and i deserved it but there was a lot more to that story too that you didn't see but um I just have never like prepared anything and then this year I started taking notes and after the second
Starting point is 01:35:51 episode I was like yeah dude I got murdered on YouTube for that like murder and like I said I really was like either have to admit that I took notes because I was there I had never even met Andy before. This is before Watch What Happened. So it was a lot coming at me that day. How about when you met Andy? I met Andy. I introduced myself to him twice because the second time I didn't quite get his name.
Starting point is 01:36:18 I didn't know who he was. He just straight up just ignored it. I was like, did I say that loud enough? Of course I did. Fast forward. I was right in his face. And then I go out to watch What Happens Live, and the little man walks around the corner, and he goes like, oh, hey, can I punch you in the stomach?
Starting point is 01:36:32 I'm like, sure, I guess. I think it'll be like a little ha-ha. Motherfucker loaded up on me and gave me a little. No way, really? I was like, all right, I'm going to pick you up and lift you like a dumbbell. One of my favorite moments of BravoCon, I wasn't invited, so I'm not already. I was like, wait, you weren't there?
Starting point is 01:36:49 No, but one of my favorite moments that I saw on Bravo's Instagram was Frederick talking about your hands. Yeah, in the elevator. I literally laughed out loud at that. That was like literally one of the funnest pieces of content for Robocop. Yeah. That was that big guy, right? Yeah. The bald head dude?
Starting point is 01:37:08 Yeah. He was into it. I was like, hey, buddy. And then Andy said that too. So fast forward to Watch What Happens Live. Yeah. And Andy, like has said hi to everyone. The version that made it on TV was way shorter.
Starting point is 01:37:21 They cut out a lot of stuff because it was like 50 of us on or whatever. Sure. So he already said hi to Stassi and whatnot. And then he's looking like in my direction. And I'm like over like at the like very, very end of the bar, like where like the extras are normally seated. But instead it was me and Kristen. So we're over there and he's looking in that direction. And he's like, so he's like, I met Stassi's boyfriend backstage. And I know he meant to say Sheena, but I was like, oh, I was like, okay, I'm going to go with it. And I was going to be like, wait, her boyfriend and her fiance are here? Like, I hope they didn't run into each other.
Starting point is 01:37:56 So I have, like, my joke ready to go. But then he caught himself and he said Sheena. But then in this awesome twist of events on Watch What Happens Live, when he meant to talk about Stassi, he called her Sheena. And I was like, all right, you're even, Andy. We're good. That's funny. What else did you have from Rebecca? Oh, wait.
Starting point is 01:38:14 I wanted to ask you a question about Mike that came in. Why do you think Mike stays so Switzerland with Reza? Is he afraid of him? That's a good question i don't know i don't i mean i've i've mike is really actively trying to be switzerland in this situation and i kept telling him i've told him a couple times like i was like i'm beyond that like i at this point i've i've become friends with mj i don't speak to reza so you know i don't know why he does that i don't think rezaza. So, you know, I don't know why he does that.
Starting point is 01:38:45 I don't think Reza and Mike have a very odd relationship to me, you know, like Mike, whether or not Reza made his marriage to Jessica harder or the fight in Vegas. I don't, I don't really know. I don't know what they're, what Mike must really value a long-term relationship with which is good I hope he does um to want to still accept that kind of behavior I don't know I hold grudges like if someone disrespects me like I don't let that shit go ever like ever if you if you stand in a hotel room in Vegas and scream at me like that's and like you say some
Starting point is 01:39:23 foul shit about like my life we will never bounce back maybe that's my problem i'm always like it's fine i get it forgive you i need to stop being so passive i can't hear you what are you saying i said i need to stop being so passive because i feel like i'm the opposite where i'm just like okay yeah you said some really fucked up shit but i forgive you you. It's fine. Oh, hell no. Hell no. Maybe that's the problem. You can't come back from some shit. There's just some boundaries you can't come back from. I don't know. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:39:53 All right. Well, it's interesting to see what happens over these next boundaries of 30 years of friendship and everything going on. So it would be interesting to see what bounces back. Oh, I forgot. I mean, I remember it, so don't. Do you think if there was no show, do you think MJ and Reza would just be fine and friends?
Starting point is 01:40:09 Or do you think that this was something that inevitably show no show would have come up in life? No, I mean, no to a lot of that. No, I don't think this is in any way show related. So I think if the show was miraculously, you snapped your fingers and it was gone and they would just be like, okay, cool.
Starting point is 01:40:28 Let's be friends. I definitely do not think that, um, I hope they can find their way back to friendship, but it's not going to be that, that will go on for a long time. That's the second part of your question. After that,
Starting point is 01:40:42 you said that it was, it was no to that. Is that not the show related? Just like if if they if there was never a show to begin with do you think mj and reza would still be friends or no i think what happened unfortunately is um is very real in both of their lives i mean they were like best friends and you know it sucks because all of us loved their friendship they were really fun to be around they're always laughing together like everyone i think was better when they were getting along so um it's a loss for everybody to have that friendship end but it healing it will go on for a long time for many and the show will authentically capture that hopefully
Starting point is 01:41:21 a lot of other questions that came in are asking if you're single asking if you're dating anyone yes and no oh yes the single no to dating oh gosh yes okay oh what do you think about mike and paulina's relationship that one came in a lot i will tell you i love mike and paulina man like paulina and I had a moment on the show. We squashed it in a great way. Mike is just super in love. And like, it's, if you care about Mike, it's, it's, his happiness should mean something to you.
Starting point is 01:41:57 And like Paulina makes him very, very happy. And she's sort of like a perfect fit for him. Like she balances him very well. Mike's a lot of personality coming at you. Yeah. And she balances him very well likes a lot of personality coming at you yeah and she balances it really well yeah that's good he mentioned that today didn't we expect to him yeah because i mean i've known mike since his last relationship after the divorce and now with but just talking to him today he just had like an extra glow and it just seemed like oh my god you finally like grown up he's so dude he's so it's crazy he's
Starting point is 01:42:25 so happy and it's made him like less aggressive like mike used to kind of go into that kind of dickhead mode a lot doesn't do it anymore like it's like i would say like 2019 mike was like a like a total softie um he loves being a stepdad like he talks about it all the time i know he said he was helping him ride a bike like doing their homework and stuff he just loves being a stepdad. Like, he talks about it all the time. I know. He said he was helping him ride a bike, like, doing their homework and stuff. He just loves being – he just loves those kids. And so, like, it's just – it's really great to see Mike so happy. Yeah. Anything else you want to add?
Starting point is 01:42:56 Any tea you want to spill? No. You guys really threw me for a loop with this recording. Yeah. Well, because we were meant to – no one knew about this recording, and we forgot because we smoked. So there we go. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:43:10 Let's see what happens. All right. Sheena, are you going to tell MJ? Yeah. Well, it's going to – this is going to come out on Wednesday. Yeah. Okay. Are we being spliced into the same interview here?
