I'm very excited about this and I'll just introduce him and then Reza. I have something to tell you guys. Everyone, Reza Farahan is on the pod today. You know him, you love him.

Shaw's of Sunset, of course, Traders and now the GOAT. Also a very successful real estate broker amongst many other things. Hi Reza. Hi Kristen. What's up, Luke? Thank you guys so much for having me on the pod. We're so Excited I have so many things to ask you fans wrote in to ask you questions Everyone is just Shaw's crazy right now I feel like I wanted to say this first is that I think I told you this Raza When we were doing press together for the GOAT, but when the Valley was first announced and

we only had the first trailer up, which was like trading bottle service for baby bottles and everyone all the comments on Bravo, like Bravo's Instagram page were like, what the hell is this show? Bring back shaw's bring back shaw's. I read it all the time. Everyone misses it. And I told you this when we were in Goat Manor, Luke. When I found out about the Valley, my, literally, my heart lit up and I said to Kristen, you give the rest of us hope. This is amazing and I am so effing happy for you

to have an experience go not exactly the way you wanted it but then to have this redo of your own show and to take off the way that it has. Kudos to both of you. Thank you. You guys make the rest of us, former Bravo Labs, have hope and you make us look good. Yeah, because Rezla, you belong on television.

Like that's just that. I completely agree with that. You have a personality for TV, a million percent. And the face. When you're more on TV. And that handsome face for sure. Thank you so much. By the way, where's the stash?

Where's the facial hair? The stash comes and goes. Like it's just, I gotta be feeling it. Yeah, you gotta have a lot of guts to look like me, have gray hair and to rock a stash comes and goes. Like, it's just, I gotta be feeling it. Yeah, you gotta have a lot of guts to look like me, have gray hair and to rock a stash. You're asking for it these days. Oh, I think it's like your best look thus far. I mean, of course, like in the younger years

when you were like the jet black hair and the famous Reza stash, when you didn't have like the scruff of the beard, but like the salt and pepper is just like so fucking fire. I'm obsessed. I feel like myself. That felt like a costume now in hindsight. And you used to wear like suits and stuff,

and now you're like, no, no, no. You want to see a suit? I'll show you my Fendi jumpsuit, bitch. That's so funny. Hey, Reza, I got a question for you. It's about the whole mustache thing. So I do this golf trip with my buddies every year, and we do our mustaches for, uh fun funny we have a competition. Based on

what you see of me how would you do my mustache to make it the most? He's gonna shave the beard. Beard's gonna be gone. Yeah it's kind of red. I don't know. There's a lot of hair there so I would recommend a handlebar because you could literally go all the way down. And then you could actually do like a sexy bride at an expensive wedding and while you're on the trip, get rid of the handles and just have like a regular stash. Oh my God, that's such a good idea. Have a dynamic stash that changes. Well, yeah, like if you're hosting the Oscars or you're Taylor Swift and you have more than one outfit,

that's what he means by the bride thing. It's like, this is my this look, now at my this I'm gonna wear my dress and then I go to my reception. Yeah, like you could take the mustache thing because if you have multiple looks, because obviously you're not gonna be able to add hair, but if you start with it mega long

and then as the trip progresses, you can come in like bam. Like, okay, okay. I like it. I love this. I like it. It didn't even cross my mind. I'm over here on Pinterest, like funny mustaches. Just know.

I love the diversity. Okay. Boom. Done. And also I wanted to tell you really quickly, my best friend Amy, she's been my best friend like basically my whole life, you know, since we were like teenagers. And I was just on the phone with her and I said,

oh, I gotta go, I'm jumping on a podcast with my friend Reza. And she goes, I know Reza. Okay, well, I don't really know him, but I, on the go, I watch him and he's so funny and I love him. I was like, I will let him know. So you're so loved. But yeah, so you look amazing. I know you've talked a lot about weight loss. I mean, you were never in my opinion, like you always looked so great. But you just look like the best freaking version. I was a 10 pound burrito and a five pound tortilla.

Do you enjoy working out or do you do it because you like have to or both? I believe it or not, I absorb everything and I'm in a path. If I didn't work out, I would be walking around like twitching. My eyes would, I'd have a stye in every eye. If I didn't work out out it would be a wrap It's like a medical necessity. The doctor was like you need to work out. So I need to work out She's over here Lucas sitting here elbowing me like exactly because when I sat on the valley and I'm an empath and everyone got All up in my shit about it as if I was claiming to be like a psychic medium or like an alien from another planet.

We are. One thing I learned about you on the go, I am so much like you in my heart. You are so much like me. You held a mirror up to my face. The experience for me while I was there and then in hindsight, I had no clue we were so similar. Oh, for sure. We're hard on our sleeve people. Like, I can't hide an emotion.

Like, I can't help what my face does when people talk to me, you know? Oh, my God, totally. OK, well, let's talk about the goat since we're on it. The first thing I got to ask, because it's the main thing in the news right now. You and Jill Zarin, I feel like a crazy person because I didn't know. Are you guys really feuding? Because like to me, I'm like, I know. Well, when I was at Goat Manor, I thought you guys were so great. I know you guys had a relationship before the goat and things went on in the house.

But I read these two articles and one was like some press that you did. And then I just saw one that Jill did where she was apologizing. Did you read that? I did not. Oh, so Jill, it just came out not that long ago. And Jill said, I love Raza. I adore him. If I hurt his feelings at all, I feel terrible.

But there's no manual how to do this thing. Did I agree with everything he said or did or said? No. Did he agree with everything I did or said? No, but I adore him. So what I learned was I was really hurt by Jill before I met Jill. When Jill was no longer on The Real Housewives of New York and Shaw's was on seasons two or three, I was single, I was at a gay bar, there was some twink in front of me. His arms went in the air.

I do like man said, I may have gone inward closer to where his arms were. And Jill said, Bravo's gone downhill since I left it and made reference to me, Shaw's and what I was doing at that gay bar. And it really, really, really hurt my feelings because for me to be a out gay man as a Middle Easterner, people are telling me to die on Twitter. I didn't know that colleagues and former colleagues were gonna come for me. And it just, it kind of crushed,

it takes the wind out of your sails when other people on or former network are coming for you. We end up at a dinner together. She writes a letter, a card, gives me these chocolate chip cookies. We become homies. I'm like you. I forgive and forget.

I move on. I was like, no problem. I grabbed the cookies. I hugged it out. She introduced me to my manager. We've been cool, cool. And I did not realize how upset I would get to see a someone I consider a friend not come through as a friend for me. I didn't realize that it was

going to affect me the way it was. And because I had that past thing with her, it just, it affected me some way. But you reading that to me, Obviously, my comeback to that is, thank you so much. Obviously my feelings were hurt. I wish things could have been different and I wish that I had acted different. And I wish that I wasn't so affected by the things that I was feeling. I'm never gonna hear something like that and not respond in a positive way.

She's a bigger person than me. She reached out first. I did not know. And when you said to you said to me, at the party, I want to put this out there because you were right. You're so right. You're a smart woman. I hear what you say and you were effing right. And I'm so much like you, but you're a little better than me. You came up to me and you said, bitch, but you didn't say bitch. I'm saying bitch. You said, bitch, if I'm cool with you after all that, you need to go kiss her and just be like, we cool. What did I say to you? I said, you're a better person than me. Yeah, that's not true though.

I'm not. I think I've just been like kicked down the road so many times on Vanderpump that there was part of me that became this like a little bit of a people pleaser, but part of me also was like, I mean, we all say shit. We all do and we're all like entertaining and we're all feeling feelings. And there's, you always have to remember,

especially like when we're living in a house together, right? There's all that shit going on, but there's also like even what you just said, like being a gay man who's very proudly Middle Eastern, that is something about you that's always gonna be with you forever. And I remember when we did the untalented show that you were really affected because you're like,

it wasn't easy for me to get up here in this outfit and like shake my ass and do all of that on national television. And so if people weren't reciprocating or responding to you the way most of us were, there was a couple of cast members as we saw on the episode and that really hurt your feelings. So I think being in a house like that,

reminding us all like even Justin, you know, Alyssa Edwards, Justin, our goat manor, cast me. Like he was dealing with some demons on the inside. Davon was, I definitely was. Paola had some stuff. So we always have to remember, like, you don't know what that person's morning was like, or if they got an email from someone, or a text from their husband or their parent, you know. That's, I think, the only reason I have compassion. Hey, everyone.

If you have questions or concerns about gambling or someone close to you, you were, you literally said, De'Von deserves this money, she deserves, De'Von deserves to win, De'Von deserves this money. She deserves, Devaan deserves to win. Devaan deserves this money. And like, you truly meant it from the bottom of your heart. And it was the beauty of you, because you were in the house, you know, in the feelings, listening and like you had made this decision from all the information you had and it was beautiful to watch. Yeah, and so just so everyone knows, okay, so we're recording this, and this will come out after Goat Episode 4,

which is when my ass gets sent home. And so for those of you who haven't watched it yet, you need to watch. And you'll see when I go home, Reza's basically like flicking me like a fly off his shoulder. And he was like, bitch be gone. I just didn't take it personally.

I'm like, if I took everything personally on a competition show, you know, because you didn't act like we were still texting, you know, after the fact and stuff. And I was like, whatever, it's a competition show. And I- It was to Jill. It was to Jill.

Oh. So yes, it was in that moment. But Jill was very upset at my reaction. And I was so frustrated with Jill's holier than thou attitude at that moment with what was going on for me, because there was no getting through to you. You had the Devon Kool-Aid, you were drinking it, and I knew she was that rogue vote that had you so upset, but there was no way I was gonna convince you. I had voted for Joey, which I didn't know you guys had made an alliance early on,

and you were on the Devon trade. So for me to say, there's only two gamers in the house and Wendell swore up and down to me, it wasn't him. The only other person that would do it to get the house riled up is Devon. I can't put her on blast because you won't believe me. Oh, 100%. I wouldn't have in the moment. And it's so funny that you say that. So watching back the episode where Devon threw the challenge, she was telling me the whole time she was throwing the challenge to save me. She was like, I'm putting you on the other team. I'm throwing the challenge. Otherwise, everyone's

going to vote you out. So that is what I thought the whole time. And then when I watched it, I'm like, that was never even said one single time. And I did drink that Kool-Aid. That's why I think Devon's such a good competitor, because I don't have the heart to do that. But she's like, she is, she's like, game on bitch. She's like, I won the challenge. This is cakewalk to me, you know what I mean? But you and I are sitting here like, but we come from a docu-series where all we do

is talk about feelings and how many fucks we give. You know? It's a totally different world. And Luke, for me, I'm in this house trying to, like, on Shadows of Sunset Fumes, trying to have that because, Kristen, there's nothing like a docu-series. A competition show is great, but docu-series, you get an appetizer, you get an amuse-bouche, you get a drink, you get an appetizer, there's multiple courses. Competition shows like, wham, bam, thank you, ma'am.

And you're looking behind you checking for blood. And it's like, what the F? You have no time to catch up. Right. And so you guys were obviously not going to spill the beans. Reza might have made it all the way to the end. I do have a question that, well, Luke, you want to ask about when he first walked through the door.

Oh, yeah. I want to see what was going through your mind when you first walked in. So you weren't the first one there, but you were one of the first ones. And you did Traders. I saw Jill Zarin, who I loved. And I saw Lauren Speed Hamilton, who I adored from her show.

I fell in love with her and her husband. And then when Kristin walked in, it was almost like, oh God, there's your people. Your people are here. So there was a, I don't know if Jill or Kristen understand this, but the level of like comfort I had having the two of them just be in the house was like having some sort of like crystal that has like a power because it was grounding. It made me feel like, okay, I've got people here with me.

I'm not like alone. It was very comfortable. It makes you feel understood immediately. Like, no matter how close or well you know, it's like someone from your network, especially that we all had shows around the same time. You and I literally had shows at the same time. You guys started just before us.

And it was just this moment of like, oh my God, they're totally gonna get me. I feel so, so much more at ease now because I walked in being like, there might not be one single Bravo person. It could be all competitors. It might be shows I've never even fucking heard of. I was really nervous about that.

I mean, I had not heard of FBoy Island before we got there. It was pretty brand new. You are, I'm so impressed. Luke, your lady is very smart, pop culture, PhD on fleek. Like it was alarming. She was like, chest pieces. She just messed up her math a little bit, but so impressive. She makes references that go over my head all the time.

I'm like, I stare at her with this dumb look. I'm like, what does that mean? So once everyone got, once you saw like the whole cast, right? Did you, because obviously as we watched, I didn't know a damn thing about alliances. I knew a little bit, but I forgot once I walked in the house. I made an alliance with you and Jill, of course, I didn't realize how many alliances were made right off the bat Which was pretty mind-blowing to me because I just walked in like so dumb about it

Just like oh, I don't know I'm here to make some friends and it's gonna be like a really good time and like challenge myself Oh, but when you saw the whole cast did you and if you did then who like did you? Kind of seek anyone out that you thought, okay, that person or these people, I would like to be at the end with me? Wendell's energy and the way he articulates himself, he feels like a diplomat to me.

The way he explains things, I just respond very well. And I was in a room with Justin, Wendell, and Chef. And I felt like I was on top of the world. I felt like I had you and Jill, then I had the Gay Alliance, and then Wendell was in our room. And so I felt locked and loaded. But little did I know that on episode one,

Chef and Devon were locked and loaded? So we had, we stood no chance because Chef was going back to Devon and giving her every single word that was being spoken. So basically we were F'd from every direction. Oh yeah. I didn't know that. So spoiler alert, we all got to be at the finale, regardless of when you went off the show or if you were still on the show. And I'm not going to say how many people were at the finale, but like we all, everyone that got kicked off prior, I got to like fly back in for the finale because we shot this in Georgia. That was the day I found out that Davon and Jason Chef had an alliance from the beginning. I was like, what?

You are all so fucking sneaky. So sneaky. And the thing I learned coming from Traders, Luke, was that the gamers were gonna be the ones that you had to watch because they don't care about making a good show. They're there to win the money and they only care about the money and the game and winning at any cost.

Because I was not even a trader and I ended up getting kicked off first. But there's a scene where I, Suri goes, Reza don't kill me. And she's the one who won the money and she was a trader. And I said, Suri, how weird would it be if the Middle Eastern man was the murderer? Like, I didn't want to come off shaws and be like, and she said something to the effect of, well, how would it look if like, and she said some descriptive words about herself. And I'm thinking,

gangster, she was the, she was a traitor. She didn't need to add that extra dollop to it. Yeah. Oh, that's wild. I know. God, I want you to go back on Traders or like, I don't know, what other show would you want to do? I mean, number one, they need to bring Shaw's back because I think it's been enough years. I think so many things have happened in y'all's lives that it's the perfect time to pick it

back up But we're gonna get more into Shaw's because a lot of fan questions for that later But if you were to do like another kind of a goat show or a traders type show Is there something else you want to do? I want to go back on the goat to like co-host an episode or something like give advice to like the newbies My fantasy is that a few seasons from now, they bring us all back to the go. Has any show ever done that, reassembled the entire cast and brought them back for another competition? I would kill to have you guys in the house again and try to have a do-over.

Hell yes, because I would definitely do things differently now. Those are a lot of first timers there, right? Like it came from the docuseries world, not competition. Yeah, and a lot of, well, docuseries and dating shows. And dating shows, right. Luke, I think in my opinion, the docuseries people are the ones, like Kristen's reactions, how she felt about what was going on. That's the stuff that's priceless.

Davon was the one who cast, you know, the rogue vote. But if no one was reacting to it, the rogue vote really wasn't anything. Like, the docuseries people were the ones who were making the show. The competition people were stellar at these competitions and they were just, you know. Yes. But I feel like if we weren't there, it'd be boring. Oh, 100%. I completely agree. I just think there's got to be a different mindset having a do-over, right? So you were off, knocked off traders right out the gate.

We're on the go, still on the go. And yeah, just looking back, what would you do differently? Would you come in with like a different lens over your eyes looking at people, sizing them up? Well, I feel like with Traders, they really did me dirty because there were people there that had no TV background at all whatsoever. And they had just canceled my show. I was in a dark depression.

I felt like, oh, I get to make TV again. And they threw me into this competition show where we weren't cohabitating with one another. I was like sequestered. I wasn't even in the right head space for it. Like, thank God they killed me because I don't know how I would have done. When I got the goat, I was like, I want to sop the juices. I want to have the fun interactions that we have when we're not filming, when we were cutting up with one another. Those were the times that I enjoyed the most with you guys.

Oh, for sure. Yeah, we got Sundays off with no camera crew and we actually just got to spend time together. And that was, I think, really epic to continue making a good show because we got to truly spend time together and not be talking about competitions. Because we never talked about the show when we weren't filming. It was a lot. This pressure and the stress,

it's like a full-time job. Because we would film until the wee hours and then you had to go to sleep, have microphone up while you're trying to eat a little something before the competitions are starting. Yeah, the second you wake up, they're like, they cut the wrangler talent wrangler comes in and says, All right, give me your phones, give me your iPads, give me your laptops, if you brought one, and put your mic on and you're like, brushing your hair like trying to grab breakfast real fast,

like hoping chef made something better than catering. It was pretty wild. So there's stress though. Is that what caused your diarrhea? Or was it the obscene amount of hot sauce you would put in your beer? So I promise you, I didn't have diarrhea. But I like my stomach was in knots. Yeah. Because Justin was like my lifeline, because at night our twin beds faced one another. And so I'd sleep with my head facing him and we would ask each other these crazy questions. Like, he would be like, what if you were having sex with someone? And he was like, you take this you Middle Eastern bitch.

And I'm like, wait, what? Like, people don't talk to you during sex like that. That just sounds so weird. If someone said that to me during sex, I would... I don't know how I'd react. Yeah, Luke, please don't say that to me during sex. Don't say, take this, you Middle Eastern bitch. I don't know what kind of drugs we'd have to be on

for that to come out of my mouth. I know, right out of my mouth. I know, right? All of them. Oh my goodness. And I didn't want that to end. So I was trying to keep Justin in at any cost. And you saw Day was so powerful in the house that she was orchestrating chess moves to

confuse people. You thought the competition was going one way because of you and for sure the other way because of this Oh my god, it's so fun. Okay for real you guys did clog a toilet though the boys did we yeah I remember there was one toilet clog. I think you were all using the same one That's probably why but I still just don't get the whole hot So guys we basically like we we didn't have alcohol, obviously before competitions. They would take all the alcohol out of that like kitchen because safety.

But then we would have mostly beer. We had a couple other things. So we were all, Paola was one of our cast mates from 90 Day Fiancé. She was like really big into putting salt in her Corona. And so like, I feel like we all started doing that. But then you guys busted the hot sauce out. And I've never seen anyone drink hot sauce in beer. And you basically, I feel like we all started doing that. But then you guys busted the hot sauce out. And I've never seen

anyone drink hot sauce in beer. And you basically drank a little bit of beer with your hot sauce. 100%. But I'm a big fan of Michelada. And so I was doing like the Goat Manor version of a bootleg, like, you know, broke down Michelada with whatever the with whatever ingredient I had to make it spicy and sour, which is my jam. Yeah. Do you drink that like at home?

Or was it a Goat Manor thing? We do not drink at home, Kristin, at all whatsoever. But we smoke legal combustibles that have, you know, take you places, not, we don't smoke cigarettes in our house, but we do enjoy legal cannabis in the state of California. Oh, hell yeah. I love getting stoned with you.

You're like one of my favorites. You make me laugh nonstop, like I'm gonna pee my pants, cry my eyes out. It's so much fun. Okay. Did I or did I not impress you with my knowledge of lyrics of songs? And you were like, who are you all of a sudden? You were like, you were like Kelly Clarkson, like on the Kelly Clarkson show, it's like she knows every song and she knows all the lyrics to everything. And I was

like, what in the actual, what, Raza? Like you learned something new about your buddies. I love that you guys don't have alcohol in the house though. It's just like for when you go out. We have tons of it. And you know, when friends come over, I'm like a white claw. I'm real lightweight. I get big back attacks the next day. So I don't mind the drinking. It's the next day when I wake up, I want wanna go to like the greasiest, you know,

most caloric, fried up, sauced up place. And I just, I'm like Big Macs, Big Macs. I'm like laser focused, so I try not to drink. Let's get Reza a McDonald's Sponcon brand deal. Thank you so much. Putting it out there right now. And he'll say, but I work out for my mental health, but sometimes I just need a Big Mac.

You can be like the new Carl's Jr. like burger model, Charlotte McKinney. She's so like 10 years ago. From your mouth to God's ears. 100%. Okay, I wanna talk about Shaw's a little bit. Yes, please. Because of so many fan questions.

So I will say a lot of people are asking about the you and Tommy and you and MJ, all that. But I know that BravoCon, you and MJ did like a little panel and said that in quotes, MJ said, or you said, I forget, like, you're all healed up. And you're like the most fun gay uncle ever. So I love that. I feel like if I could go back, Lord, the things I would do differently. I also didn't understand reality TV docu-series until and what was what they do and how it impacts you and oh, we're not going to come back for another season and so and so said this.

Oh yeah, no Shaw's needs to come back because it's it was just pure magic and I don't know why it was canceled. Obviously there are some rumors out there that it was because of what happened with Mike but I don't feel like it would just be like kick him off the show and keep the show going. And then other people just like no but your but your ratings were so good. It was such a different show. And it was so authentic because you guys, it was like Vanderpump rules in a way,

but even deeper than that, because you guys like knew each other, most of you from like high school, you know? Yeah. And literally I was texting with MJ and there was an article that said maybe, and I don't wanna, if I'm getting this incorrectly, please correct me, but maybe Lala and or Sheena or both of them said something about like,

oh, Vanderpump, maybe not, and we can go to the Valley. And I texted her and I said, isn't it amazing that they have that option? Like ours was just straight canceled with them. It's like, do we want to stay here or we have the option to go there? I'm gonna tell you yes. I have heard that a lot and they did buy houses in the valley Obviously, I'm not a producer of our show But because like the article that I read about the valley when it we got our season two announcement And and I did ask like are we keeping the same cast? And they said, yes, we are keeping the same cast.

So me thinks maybe they'll pop in for an episode or something kind of like this season, but I don't think they're coming on the valley. And I don't think Vanderpump's dead. They're taking a little hiatus. I think, I mean, the way the last episode wrapped up, it does seem like- It feels real final.

It feels kind of final, but they haven't made that call yet. Yeah. So I don't know if they have the final, but they haven't made that call yet. Yeah. So I don't know if they have the option, but you should come in the Valley. Oh, you invite me and I'm there. Oh, we will have an event and you will be invited. I promise you that. Hell yeah.

Okay. Couple fan questions. So speaking of MJ, this is from Sandra's Reality 13. I love Reza. Where does he stand now with MJ? And do you think there'll be another show of Shaw's or something like it? What do you, you know, feel about that? So you and MJ are tight as hell. Yeah, and I hit her up and I was like, girl, conceptualize this. What if me, you,

Gonesa, Mike, Lily, whomever from Shaw's were like the Lisa Vanderpumps? And that's literally the example I used because it's the only frame of reference. But then there was a whole new gaggle of younger people. And we didn't have to get our hands dirty, but we could be on the show and they, you know, be having sex with another, doing all that. Would you be into it? So individually, I've talked to several of my castmates

who are into that. So I think, I've talked to several of my cast mates who are into that. So I think when I get back from taping this new show that I'm flying out for on Saturday, I leave for London to do a new show. It's a competition show. I can't talk about it yet, but when I get back, I wanna get started on that show

and try to sell a retooled version of Shadows of Sunset with a younger cast. Oh my God, that would be such a fucking hit. Love you. Thank you. Oh, that's so rad. So another show that I actually was researching you a little bit, I'll admit it. You and Adam were pitching a home renovation show last year.

Is that right? Yes. We are totally still working on that, pitching it. It's like, you know how it is with pitching shows. Oh, it takes a while. It's so hard. You gotta knock on so many doors and talk to so many people. So we're actively doing that as well.

Oh, I would love that so much. That's like a dream of mine and Luke's when my Bravo Valley time is over, or simultaneously if I can, but to do that kind of like HGTV but like docu-series also, you know what I mean? I think it's such a great idea and you, Adam, would be brilliant. Hey babes, are you ready to inject some serious style into your wardrobe?

That's J-A-M-E-S-M-A-E dot C-O. Enjoy. Okay, another couple other fan questions from Gabriella22, how is your relationship with the cast of Shaw's post filming? Are you still friends with everybody? I'm going to tag on to the sorry with from xx star love xx. When is the last time you spoke to Mike today? Oh, okay. So you talked to Mike today. I was just I talked to Mike today about some real estate opportunities, flipping houses. So I sent him a few listings. So I'm talking to Mike about

that. I just spoke to MJ. I was talking to Destiny on FaceTime earlier. So basically, I talked to everyone on the show except maybe Nima. Okay. So that's, we really need to get the shots back. I love this. And this is probably okay, well, then I want to ask real quick, how is your relationship with Tommy these days? So we like we talked about a little earlier at BravoCon you and MJ said it's healed up, you now have a relationship but like are you guys friends again? Is there any bad blood there? Or is it just so far in the past? Zero bad blood. We're totally cool. I hope to see him soon. We haven't had the opportunity.

I haven't even seen MJ. The last time I saw MJ was at the GOAT premiere party. I got lucky enough that she was there. But before that, I can't remember the last time I had an opportunity to see her. Knock on wood, she's super busy, I'm super busy. But hopefully very soon we'll get to kick it. And busy is good.

Okay, this is my favorite question. This is from in Elch. Sorry if I pronounced that wrong. I-N-E-L-C-H. I just want to shout you out. Ultimate girls trip on Bravo. No real housewives though. Who are you bringing?

Oh my God. Well, It's so good. I want to go. You, me. I would bring your bestie from your show. Brit. And Brittany. I'd bring MJ. I'd bring Dr. Heavenly for married Tibetan. Yes. Love it. She cracks me that F up. Kyle Cook, because I had the best time with him on Traders. He's so much fun.

Kyle's a blast. I love, like, the Bravo family is amazing. There's so many people. I could give you 25 all-star lists. No Housewife on there. Yeah, for sure. That's why I love that question. I'm like, oh, you and Kyle and all, yeah, that would be so fun.

Maybe we need that. Hey, Bravo, can we have a ultimate fun trip? Not girls. You just need to do an ultimate trip. An ultimate trip. No housewives. Just ultimate trip and get all the Bravo LEDs. Yes. Oh, that's amazing. Okay. Now I want to talk a little bit about you and your hubby because you guys do, yes, you're, because Adam works in television, but not, you know, on your side of the camera. And you guys are so cute. You've been married, what, almost nine years now? Oh my gosh, that's so crazy. How long did you guys date before you got married? Years. It took me, he's 10 and a half years younger than me.

And I was not taking it seriously. I was like, there's no one that's 10 years younger than me that I should take seriously because you don't do that. That's not the right thing to do. Cause I would think about what I wanted when I was 10 years younger. And I'm thinking to myself, if he's wanting those things, why is he here fucking with me? Oh, I get it.

Luke's eight years younger than me. And so when we started dating, you know, less than two years ago, I'm like, when do I bring up the fact that I really want a baby? And he's 32 at the time or 31. No, you were 31 at the time. So I told I understand like the age thing. OK, so keep going, tell me more. And then he literally was the most resilient person

I've ever dated because he'd be like, let's hang out. I'd be like, no. He'd be like, I'm coming over. I'd be like, don't come over, I'm not gonna open the door. He would not take no for an answer. But we were joking obviously, but he came up to me at the gym on the treadmill and he's like, you know a friend of mine.

I was like, what's your friend's name? And he's like, my friend's name is Britt. I was like, I don't know any Britt. He's like, I'm telling you, there's a photo, you're in it with him. Homeboy brings me a picture a few days later from Gay Pride at like, here bar. And there's like 20 people in a photo and he's like, there's you and there's my friend Britt. I was like, oh.

You're like, sure. We're tagged in the same photo. Oh no, he's. He knew what he was doing. He was trying to pick up on me and he needed whatever he could use. He was using those things to talk to me. Don't sleep on younger guys. They're where it's at. Persistence and resilience, that's how Luke got me. Yeah, you don't sleep on them, you sleep under them. Ayy, or on top. Or on top, either way.

Ayy, ayy. Yeah, and what I love about you and Adam, because I don't know Adam very well, but I love hanging out with him, and I love hanging out with the two of you together. But Adam, to me, and tell me if I'm wrong, doesn't seem like a very like stressy person. You know I'm the stressy one.

If I was with a stressy one, we would be in the hospital together, like discombobulating. That's, yeah, that's exactly how I feel. Yeah, because Luke's like logic. He is a dreamer, but like I'm the emotion, he's the logic. He stays grounded. Luke says that he's like in neutral a lot. Heer, but like I'm the emotion, he's the logic. He stays grounded.

Luke says that he's like in neutral a lot. He's like, sometimes I'm just in neutral. I don't have to be like up or down. I was like, I don't understand. So when he's in neutral, I'm like, what's wrong? What's wrong? Are you okay? Why are you so quiet?

I love that for you and Adam though. That energy is, I didn't used to call it neutral. I would call it granola when I would talk to my therapist and I'd be like, he's got this like, it's just yummy and texture. It's just, it's always here. It's not here. It's not there. It's consistent and it feels good all the time. He doesn't have crazy high highs like I do and low lows and he's not like that. He grabs me and he makes me feel calm and good and salty, which I'm not like the salt of the earth, which I'm not. He sprinkles up some of his earth salts on me.

Oh my God. It's going to make me cry. I was like, was that in your vows? That's so cute. How do you deal with the stress, like just stress in general, like I don't want this to be like a negative thing, but like you are so busy and hopping around on shows and you actually have like a really successful career, you're married, you have pets, you own homes.

What do you do when you're like, oh my God, like I'm like, you know, like my what is it my glasses like overflowing with when you know, like my, what is it? My glass is like overflowing with kind of stuff. Yeah, when you're overwhelmed, right. Yeah, and then also like, how does Adam deal with his stress and how do you guys do that together? So one of the things that we love, love doing and Adam opened me up to this is gardening. Adam's hands are green, not his thumbs.

If you come to our house, if he wants to have a salad or make tabbouleh, he walks into the yard with kitchen shears and he grabs what he needs. And he's taught me about propagating. And like, I'm a Persian Jew, like propagating where you can snip something, put it in the ground and it becomes a whole nother plant. How come you won't tell me about this stuff back in the day? I would have had a plant store as a kid. You just stick it in the ground and it becomes a whole nother plant? How come no one told me about this stuff back in the day? I would have had a plant store as a kid. You just stick it in the ground and it becomes another plant?

Oh my God, that's genius. I love that. So if you come to one of our houses, I'll walk you around and I'll be like, I got this from two blocks over there. I picked this up on a hike during the pandemic and put it in the ground. And it just is the best feeling.

We make things with it. We pickle things. We give friends and family bags of oranges and lemons. And he makes capers and pickles and pie. Holy shit. I didn't know this about him. Ugh, I'm falling in love all over again. And this is so Luke, Luke's alley. That is Luke to a T. Like he has greenhouses here in Colorado. He's all about he just wants to like garden do exactly what you're doing in Reza.

I miss fucking good to bully so badly. Not being back home. There's no good true at least I don't know or you can tell me is there really good Middle Eastern food in LA because it's it's like some places I'm like, yeah, this is fine. But if you make me fucking tabouli from your garden. Adam, literally, he makes it. I'm going to have him whip up a batch for you and you tell me his tastes better than anything I've had in any store.

Be still my heart. Can I tell you guys something that's going gonna make you feel very sorry for me? And it's gonna make you want to laugh your ass off when we end this. You're gonna laugh. Do you know what I'm doing after this? One of my friends was approached to be on Vanderpump Villa and pitched me as one of the like side friends to be at the villa with her and I'm just like girl to support you I'll do it but this makes me feel so like...

Yeah I do feel really bad for you to be honest but maybe it'll be really fun I don't know. It's kind of like Kristen can you imagine if I got cast for a show and I'm like do want to be like you know my side thing on the show? Yeah, right? In Vanderpump Villa, nonetheless. In Vanderpump Villa, right. Exactly. I can't deal.

Oh, I need to hear everything about how that goes. If that happens, Reza, like I'll die. Reza, have you been watching The Valley? I fucking love The Valley. It's so good. I'm so happy for you guys. I don't understand, like, I don't understand why it's so,

towards Kristen, but I understand all of the nuances that happen. And I take other things into consideration that the average audience member doesn't think about. Like, how you're affected by all the things that are going around into consideration that the average audience member doesn't think about. Exactly. Like how you're affected by all the things that are going around that the audience isn't considering. Did you have three scenes in that day? Did you have four? How late was one of your cast members? How long did they keep you waiting?

You know, all the things. The waiting game. Hurry up and wait. Just so you guys know, that's a little Reality TV 101 as well. Hurry up and wait. Every time I showed up on time, they're like, oh, why are you early? I'm like, I'm at the call time. I thought that's when I was supposed to be here. And so for everyone that doesn't understand

what we mean by a call time, I've sort of explained this before, but yes, docu-series type Reality TV, what Reza has done, like what we do, it is reality, but at the end of the day, like you have crew members who need a time to show up at a location. The locations have to be cleared. So that is what we mean by a call time because they don't just like live at my apartment or, you know, live at

Jax's studio city and wait for us to show up. Maybe this season. Oh my gosh. I love the gardening thing though so much. When are you buying a house again, Kristin? We are going to rent one in the next couple months. Yeah, we're going to start with renting in California. I know you're a real estate agent. Don't spend too much money. Please don't spend a lot of money on rent. I know rent is so tough in LA, in the valley, but we don't know what the future looks like. Or we're trying to conceive, trying to get pregnant right now.

And I know I need to get the fuck out of that apartment. I can't even believe we've been there that long. And we just want a house, we want a yard for our dogs, we want more bedrooms, we want a podcasting room, we want all of that. But we kind of have to stay near the valley-ish now that we know we have a second season, but it is really frustrating.

I'm like, oh my God, I remember what my mortgage was and I'm supposed to pay double that to rent someone else's house. Totally, that's so annoying. Persians hate rent. It's like, if you say rent to a Persian, it's like cussing them out. That's hilarious.

That's so funny. What was it like, speaking of all of that, growing up in Beverly Hills, the fact that you moved from Iran, how old were you? Three. Oh, so you were pretty little when your family fled to California. But literally growing up in Beverly Hills, I just think of either Beverly Hills 90210 or I think of Clueless. When you were growing up in Beverly Hills, did you have any friends that lived in the Valley or did you guys ever drive to the Valley for a party? So I live in the Valley currently, I'm in Toluca Lake, and I love the Valley. And post pandemic, I would never be able to live

anywhere in LA other than the Valley now. But when I was growing up, we never came to the valley. Once we had cars, we went to some parties in the valley. But it was like, you're going to the valley? It was like you were going to Palm Springs for a party. It was like the other side of the world. Yeah, that's like all the Clues references I remember when I first moved to LA and they said, you know, like, oh, I live just above Olympic. And I was like, I know what that means now.

I know what all these streets are. And they were like, it's a val party. And I was like, I just wonder what Fresa and his friends thought if they were like, it's a valley party. But like where you were probably like where in the valley. Totally. They were like, it's a valley party, but like where? You were probably like, where in the valley? Totally. You're like Van Nuys, not a chance in hell.

I'm still learning all this. I'm still new to California. I don't know. Valley is mostly what I know. I haven't lived anywhere else. Yeah. Oh my gosh. Do you want to do our rapid fires?

Yeah. You want to do some rapid fire, Reza? We have some fun rapid fire questions for you. Yes, let's do it. All right, favorite pizza topping? Mushroom and pepperoni and jalapeno. Okay. Always the spicy. What's your go-to vacation spot?

For a very quick vacation, Palm Springs. For a longer vacation, Hawaii. I don't consider sightseeing places vacations. I wanna chill when I'm on a vacation. I don't want to do anything. Where do you guys like to go in Hawaii? Which island? Adam loves to go to Kauai. There's a beach there that's known for its sea glass and that's his jam. I just took Luke, it was like for Christmas. I was like, I'm not doing presents and we're doing an experience. So we flew to Kauai for the first time. Amazing. He had never been to Hawaii at all.

I've been there one time. I'm ready to move. I want a time share. I want it all. Oh, we had a fucking, yeah, he literally was like, I want a time share. I want a rental here.

I want to stay here for like a couple of months. Yeah, every winter we can go for January and February. Sign me up. Please invite me. Absolutely. All right, dogs or cats? Cats, we have four cats and one dog. I was just gonna say, I'm like, I know he has both.

So you're like full on cats. Go to lazy dinner. Go to lazy dinner. So go to lazy dinner is gonna definitely be something we order. And because my husband's vegan, there's a place in Studio City called Leonor's lazy dinner is going to definitely be something we order. And because my husband's vegan, there's a place in Studio City called Leonor's

and they do the best vegan pizza I've ever had in my whole life. And we get the vegan pizza from Leonor's in Studio City. Note to self, we've never tried that. So you need to try that. Here's the pen, babe, write it down. Yeah, for real, for real. Okay, if you had to move out of California, would you pick,

and you only had two choices, Florida or Texas? I would do Florida. You like Miami? Definitely not Miami. I would do like somewhere where like wealthier, older, I probably, I might end up next to Jill and Boca. Yeah, Boca. Yeah, next to Jill and Boca. Oh my god that would be amazing. That's a reality show all in itself. You and Adam buy property next door to Jill Zarin. We'll move too. Let's start a show. Okay let's start a show. Anyway what's your favorite designer? Oh yeah. My favorite designer? Yeah you can only choose one. Clothing or architectural? Clothing. I am, my last name starts with an F. I love Fendi. I'm obsessed with Fendi. I said I thought that was my question. I was like ask him this because I think he's gonna

like have a meltdown and be like, I go he's gonna say Fendi or Gucci, but I don't know which one he picks. For sure Fendi. Because I remember another thing real quick about the GOAT was like one day I wore a James May my brand t-shirt and they were like oh well it has graphics on it and you know we're not clearing I was like no it's my own brand they're like yeah but we're really not trying to do that I'm like you guys Rosanna walks in head to toe Fendi Gucci Versace everything all day long and you're telling me I can't wear a graphic t-shirt and they're like

okay you can wear the t-shirt and Jill had her candles in every scene. Can you know? Yeah, she did. Can a sister get some time on camera with her shirt? I know, seriously. That's so funny. All right, now you don't have plans. You staying in or going out? We're staying in. When we even have plans, Adam will look at me and he'd be like, honey, please.

He wants to stay in all the time. Yeah, that is me. What do you guys do at home when you're staying in? Do you watch a movie? Do you play games? What do you do? First of all, we have a fountain and we have more carnival string lights in our backyard than you can imagine.

Everything's in bloom right now. So homeboy will be out there with a blunt, walking around doing a patrol down. He'll be like, honey, did you see this is in bloom? Did you see, like, he'll be like, did you see this zucchini? And he'll pull it out and he'll show me all his stuff. We'll do like a nice dinner. We play games, we watch movies.

Like just being close to him on the sofa, hanging out, laughing with our animals, enjoying time with one another, is more pleasurable to me than any red carpet, bougie, Hollywood, swanky, rah-rah thing you could do. Oh, you are speaking my language right now. If you weren't gay, I'm just so attracted to you guys right now.

We just need a house so I can do that. I know, it's true. I love plants. What is your go-to karaoke song? Hit em Up Style by Blue Cantrell, cause I know all the words by heart. Or Bills, Bills, Bills by Destiny's Child, cause that too I know by heart,

so I don't have to watch the monitor. I can do that and walk around and like, talk to the people and give them attention. Yes. And what is your favorite hype song when you're like when you do have to go out, you guys have an event to go to and you're like getting ready and you know, jushing yourself up. What do you turn on? Okay, so it's the Persian songs. They're like, I'm listening to some like Persian shit on my... I have the phone in the bathroom resting somewhere because Adam has the Sonos playing 80s music in the

house. So I'll have my phone in the bathroom and I'm going like this in the shower, like listening to shit my... My parents listen to and like getting down, like feeling myself in the shower. Hell yes. And then last meal. So you're on death row. What's your last meal? Death row last meal. There's gotta be some French fries.

I would have like pizza with French fries on it, with Thousand Island dressing on it, with some jalapenos on it. I would just make a burrito of all of my favorite things and then take a huge tortilla, roll it up and make like a pinwheel sandwich out of all the things I love. The important thing. It's fucking brilliant. That would be the most complicated death row order of all time, I think. Yeah, it would take a lot of extra time. It'll be great. Yeah, exactly.

And then he's like, this is cooked not the right way. Not at all. Because I'd want like chicken tenders from one place, I'd want like the pizza from one place, the french fries from another. Oh, 100%. Oh my God, I'm dying right now. Oh, Reza, I love you so much. I can't wait for everyone to keep watching The Goat.

Turns out, it really is that easy to get wireless for $15 a month? The longest part of the process was the time I spent on hold waiting to break up with my old provider. To get started, go to MintMobile.com slash Doty. There you'll see that right now, all 3-month plans are only $15 a month, including the unlimited plan. All plans come with high-speed data and unlimited talk and text delivered on the nation's largest 5G network.

You can use your own phone with any Mint Mobile plan and bring your phone number along with your existing contacts. Find out how easy it is to switch to Mint Mobile and get three months of premium wireless service for just $15 a month. Let me tell you, with Mint Mobile, it's so incredibly easy to switch over. Luke and I were so flabbergasted with how simple it is to use Mint Mobile. It's easy to work with their website, even easier to purchase it, and activating was a breeze.
