• 0:58
  Speaker 1: today's guest is controversial is an understatement, but the truth
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: is Kelly Dodd is so much more than what was
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: portrayed on The Real Housewives of Orange County. Kelly is
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: a strong woman with strong opinions, which I love. We
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: have that in common. She's a great mom, a loving
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: wife who speaks her mind. Nowadays, you can't really say
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: that about many people. We talked about our love story
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: with Rick Leventhal, Serious Couple Goals. her time on Housewives,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: and who she would choose to go with on an intimate,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: ultimate girls trip. Kelly Dodd-Leventhal, thank you so much for
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: joining us today on Misunderstood.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: I love that intro. Thank you.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: She had a great song. I actually had them create
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: that from the animals version of misunderstood. And then I
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: had some random person put a beat to it. I
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: kind of love it.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: I do. I love it. That was so cute.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Thank you. So anyway, I want, I wanted to say
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: hello because we haven't officially seen each other since we
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: met in New York city, very randomly one night at dinner.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: And it was like a really fun time getting to
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: meet you. And everybody was saying that we look like twins.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: So I think that's funny. And every time I have
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: a picture taken of me somewhere in the comments is, wow,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: you look just like Kelly Dodd.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: So I get that too about you.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So it is, you know, an honor because you're
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: so beautiful.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I know. I feel the same way about you.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Um, but when I met you, you were with Jeff
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Lewis and Shane and you were with, was it your cousin?
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Who else were you with?
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: I was with my cousin and Rick.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: And Rick, of course.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: And her husband and Tara's husband. Right.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: And it's very funny because I enjoyed your company. Obviously,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I'm friends with Jeff. I've known him for a while.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I've been on his show. But it was funny because
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: I listened to your podcast later when you were recapping,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: you know, your whole trip to New York. And we
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: were all going to maybe hang out again or I
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: was going to hang out with your cousin.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Cousin, yeah.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: And, um, you, well, Rick had mentioned that the husband
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: was like, there's no way I'm letting Rachel hang out
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: because she's a madam. And I was just like, wait
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: a minute, like, where do people get this information? Which
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: is exactly why I have my podcast misunderstood because I
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: think people, as you know, read so many things about
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: you and they're just not true. So to clarify to
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: you and Rick, cause that's really all I care about.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I've never been a madam nor will I ever be.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: So I would love to be a madam.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Well, we'd probably make good money because we know a
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: lot of hot chicks. But besides that, no, I'm not
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: someone you can't let around your wife or your husband. So,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: you know, I just wanted to.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Clarify how people get really weirded out.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: It's very strange. You know, when you have a persona
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: and people have read about you, you know, it's hard.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: You have to really attack them one person at a
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: time and let them get to know you. So it's
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: been a difficult thing for me, as I'm sure it
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: is for you.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Exactly. I like that. It's understood. Yeah.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Um, so you were with Jeff Lewis and I just
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: wanted to ask you a question about that. Cause there's
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: been like all sorts of drama in the news. I
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: know you're friends with Jeff, but aren't you also friends
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: with Heather McDonald?
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: I am.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: So I am too. I think they're both great individually,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: but like, how do you feel like you have to
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: take a side on this drama? It's so interesting that
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: this podcast drama has become sort of a mainstream entertainment
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: news thing. thing.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: So how do you take sides on that? Or do
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: you not at all?
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: I don't take sides. I try not to, you know, um,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: there's just always, you just can't not, you know, not
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: when you have friends, you can't take sides. And, and
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: if somebody is like, Oh, take my side or else,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: you know, uh, I think that's immature.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But so you're, you have no problem going on
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Jeff show. Cause you and Rick were just on Jeff show.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: And then I assume you'll have no problem going on
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Heather show.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Heather has never had me on her show. Oh,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: she had me on her show. Uh, what? 10 years ago.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know. She's not interested. I don't know. Uh,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Rick asked Heather, if we could be on her show
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: to promote his book, chasing catastrophes. And she was like, yeah, no,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: I only have comedians on. I think that she just, um,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: doesn't want to be political in any sort of way. And,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: you know, I think she feels like uncomfortable that way,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: I guess, I'm guessing. So- I understand. Okay.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Well, so actually I want to get into that a
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: little because, you know, in doing my research of you,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: you are someone who is quite controversial. I don't think
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: that's a surprise to you. And so I really wanted
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: to ask you, like, what are your feelings about that,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: that you, you know, are so outspoken? How does that
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: feel to be outspoken? You know, obviously that's gotten you
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: in trouble, but it's, you're obviously saying how you feel.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: So what is that like?
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, it cost me my job, cost me,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: you know, a bit, I was making quite a bit
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: of money and, uh, you know, I feel like I
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: have integrity. I don't regret it because, you know, I'm,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: I'm real and I'm authentic. And, uh, I just wanted
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: the best for our country. And, you know, I wanted, I,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: I hated the mandates. I hated the, you know, the mask,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: the vaccines, all of that stuff. I wanted businesses to thrive.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: I wanted my daughter to go to school. I didn't
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: want to have to have her to wear a mask
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: all day long. I was very outspoken about that. And,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: you know, Bravo is woke and they were pushing, you know,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: the BLM thing. I wore a Drunk Wives Matter hat
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: and I didn't even buy the hat. It was given
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: to me at my wedding shower. It was a play
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: on words. And they're like, you're mocking the BLM. And look,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: now the BLM was full of crap. And so I
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: feel like in time, Andy Cohen said that I was
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: on the wrong side of history. I feel like I've
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: been vindicated. I feel like, you know, that Black Lives
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Matter was a bunch of BS, a bunch of con
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: artists running that group. You know, the vaccines, you know,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: didn't work.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Masks.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Didn't work. And, you know, I, I feel like I'm authentic.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: It feels good to be able to say and do
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: what you want and, and not care where everybody on
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: that show on housewives is scared. They're scared for their job.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Well, it's interesting that you say that, though, because I
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: feel like so much of that show is based on
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: controversy or kicking up something to talk about or argue about.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: So I would have thought that that was something that
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: made you different. You know, there are plenty of people
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: that don't agree with you. There are plenty of people
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: that do agree with you. So that's reality, right? I mean,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: that's what it seems like to me.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: If you're a criminal, you can stay on that show.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: If you get arrested and you do things against the law...
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: you can stay on that show. But if you have any,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: you know, any political differences, you know, it's like, it's
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: that group as the tolerant group, it's the most intolerant group. So,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: you know, I mean, you know, I have a lot
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: of fans that support me. You know, I have a
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: big following and it makes me feel good. You know,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: like I don't have to rely on Bravo and Bravo's
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: paycheck to pay my bills. I, you know, we do
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: it ourselves.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Well, I know you get interviewed so much about Bravo.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I actually, my show is not about reality TV. So
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: I will get to that in a second, just to
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: ask you a few questions. But I really want to
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: know more about like you, your road to there. Like
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: what was teenage Kelly Dodd like? Were you outspoken? What
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: did you want to be for a living? Tell me
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: about yourself.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: I went to St. Mary's High School. I was a
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: cheerleader there. I was the captain of cheerleading. I was
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: homecoming queen. I was very, very popular. And I was
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: very popular, just not at my Catholic high school, but
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: at the public high school. And I had a lot
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: of cousins that went to different schools. So I was
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: pretty well-known. around Scottsdale, Arizona back then. And I went
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: to ASU. I was dating a professional football player, athlete,
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: went to play for the NFL. I hung out with
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: all those guys. it was a big time, like back
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: in the day was a Jetson six where Dan Marley and,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: you know, I was friends with Tina Marley and we
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: would just go out and have, you know, a good time.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Like I was in that, that scene. Then I got
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: married at 28 and moved to San Francisco and had
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: a baby at 30. I had my daughter, Julie, and
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: I couldn't stay in San Francisco anymore because of the politics.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: And it was just, was it my, was it my scene?
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Was it my jam? And so I moved to Newport
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Beach because Newport Beach is a lot like Scottsdale, but
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: with better weather. So, and then I, I, I got a,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: I had a job in advertising.
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: The car is beautiful. Where did you end up going
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: for it?
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: This exclusive place that Dad has connections with. They have
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: more cars for more dealerships than like anywhere else.
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: You have to put me in touch. What's it called?
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: It's Dune ADL.
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: Where? Dune ADL.
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: There's an accent on the E.
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: Do you mean.
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: Yes, I got it on Done Deal Cars.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Lyft? Please.
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: You're going past Kimmage?
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, Kimmage. No.
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: Done Deal Cars.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: You couldn't possibly go anywhere else.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Working for the Orange County Register because I worked in
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: advertising in Arizona and one of my bosses was the
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: VP there. So my ex-husband was the COO of Leapfrog
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Educational Toys and I wanted to work and I wanted
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: to move there and he let me. And then when
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: I moved, then I filed for divorce. So, and then
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: I met Rick at Ramona's.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Well, before we get into Rick, cause I want to
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: ask all about that love story, but how did you
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: even get involved in the housewives? How did you, how
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: did they find out about you?
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Well, when I was, so I was engaged to this
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: guy named Jeff and he was very, very wealthy and
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: they called me and they said hey do you want
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: to uh interview for the housewives and i have you
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: know i knew vicky because we have the same uh
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: we go to avaji and we'd have the same facialist
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: and so i would see her in there so i
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: knew we knew each other i lived in newport all
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: those girls lived in coda which was far so i
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: you know we didn't really hang out in the same
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: circles but they asked me to interview And Jeff like
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: kind of pushed me. Yes. Do it, do it, do it.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: They told me I got the job. And when Michael,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: my ex said, no, you can't have Jolie be on there.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: They're like, okay, fine. And they picked Lydia. I think
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: that was like, like season nine. I want to say
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: they picked Lydia over me at the last minute. And
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: then I got back together with Michael. I dumped that guy.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: I went back together with Michael. They called me again
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: and then they hired me. Wow.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Okay. And, and Jolie was still off the table.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: She, she didn't, she wasn't, she's 17. She's a senior
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: at high school, but at the time she was in
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: third grade.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, she was little.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: And so, and what was the interview process like?
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Oh God, it was, it was hard. Like it was,
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: so they wouldn't, they interviewed you like four or five times.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: You had to go see, you know, they asked you
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: about your, your, your, they wanted to see your house.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: They wanted to see your family dynamics. They asked you
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: a bunch of questions. They did like some test stuff
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: on you. And then, and then, and then they offered
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: you a contract. Right.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: And so were you excited about this? Like, what were
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: you like, I don't really want to do it. Did
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: you know what you're getting into?
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Well, my daughter really wanted me to do it. She
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: pushed me. She was like, mommy, I want, you know,
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: she was, she was into all that stuff when she
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: was little. She was like into like the Thunderdomes and like,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: like the Selena Gomez. And she was like, you know,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: she was into acting and she wanted to be on TV.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: And so now she hates it, but yeah. When she
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: was little, she wanted to be, you know, be a
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: part of that. Wait, what was your question again?
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: About what your, how it was getting into it and
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: the interview process and if you wanted to do it.
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: And so, you know, and then I'm like, God, this
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: will be fun. This will be a fun thing to do.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: You get paid, you go, you know, travel all over.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: You know, there's perks. There's a lot of good, like
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: great benefits by being on the show. There's a lot
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: of bad ones. but there's a lot of good things,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: you know? You get to travel and it's a fun,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: it's a fun gig.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So they had called me, you know, in New
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: York and I guess they were at their short list.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: And for whatever reason, my name came up and they
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: asked me to be on it. They did a couple interviews,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: asked me, like you're saying, to show pictures of my
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: house and tell them about my business, my daughter, whatever.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: And Leah got picked. This is for Housewives of New York.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: So I guess it ended up being between us and
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Leah got it.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: And she ruined the show, FYI. They should have picked you.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Thanks. So anyway, but I, you know, it's interesting because
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: when people heard later, I'm talking, you know, years later
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: that I was someone that they had considered, I think
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: page six ran something. And then, you know, of course
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: it got picked up everywhere. Um, the attention I got
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: just for the notoriety that I might be someone on
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: the housewives was crazy. People started sending me free stuff.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: People were contacting me. My followers rose by like 50,000
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: out of nowhere. So I want to know from you
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: what that was like to go from like a regular
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: person to all of a more famous than some Hollywood actors.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, the Bravo celebrity is such a big deal
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: and people get really nuts about this. And also not
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: only that, they think they know you, right? So talk
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: to me about that.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: My friend, don't I know you? You know, it was really,
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: really wild because like I was friends with Vicky and
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: we would go to like Chicago. We would go to
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: New York and the amount of people when I first
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: met her, going on those airplanes, people got to stop.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Like she was like Michael Jackson. It was like, wow. Like,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: is this for real? Like people are, and then people
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: are stopping me. It was a really weird thing to, to,
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: to come by. Like, you know, people stopping you and
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Rick goes, God, I can't believe how famous you are.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Like how many, he's like, I've been on TV for
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: 35 years. And this one show, People stop you like
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: crazy and they know you and they'll be like, oh
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: my God, you're my friend, right? Or I recognize you
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: by your voice. I get that a lot. Or you're
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: prettier in person than you are on TV. And I
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: get that constantly. And I'm like, it's just weird. It's
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: weird having people see. And then you'll get like, I
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: saw you at this restaurant, but I was too scared
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: to say hi. And I'm just a regular person. I'm
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: not like... But yeah, having that fame right away was weird.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Right. Now, did you go into it thinking you wanted
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: to have a product or something you wanted to sell?
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, what was your impetus for going on it?
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Well, I think my business for going on it was
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: really to leave Michael. I had a plan to set up. So...
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Get divorced.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: And it was giving you an income that wasn't based
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: on a man.
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Right. Right. So that's, I mean, that's the truth be told. Yeah.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Well, that's a good reason, I guess. And so I
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: heard on your podcast with, with Rick, you were talking
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: recently actually about the fact that it costs you so
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: much money to be on the show. I don't think
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: a lot of people might understand that. It's like, you
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: guys are paying for your glam squad. You guys are
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: paying for a lot of stuff, right?
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: The only thing we, the glam squad is when we're
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: doing those confessionals. That's the only time, but yeah, it's,
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: very very costly to to do this show i mean
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: the clothes you know how it is the makeup the
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: products the i mean even the parties you know it's
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: even like i was talking to shannon when she was
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: doing um that thing at my girlfriend's house at huntington
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: beach she's like i had to put that i had
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: to pay for that all that she got all the
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: decorations and they paid for the food evolution but i
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: but she had to put it out in her own money.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: It's things like that, that it's costly. Right.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: So, and I don't think, well, I found it interesting
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: that you were somebody who really seemed to be the
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: same person from the first season all the way through.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: There are so many people that start their first season
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: and then by the second season have completely changed. Either
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: they're getting... facial reconstruction or they're all of a sudden
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: their wardrobe is completely different. Um, you know, you really
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: seem to be somebody who remained who you were throughout
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: the entire time you were on that. Do you feel
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: like that's true?
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: I do. I feel like I'm the same. Yeah. I
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: feel like I'm the same. I haven't, you know, most
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: of them have all had baselifts and, you know, uh,
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: their hair is different. Like Gina always has a facelift.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Shannon looks like a completely different person. I think Vicky
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: has stayed kind of the same. I mean, I guess
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: she's had a lot of changes too.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Well, Vicky looks better actually. I mean, not in a
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: crazy way.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: She looks more- Vicky looks better. Vicky looks prettier now
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: at 60 than she did in her 40s.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she really does. Okay, and I guess we have
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: to talk about this for a second, about this whole
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: reality reckoning that's become, you know, popular for everyone to
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: talk about. What are your thoughts on how you were treated?
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Were you made to do certain things? Do you feel
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: like you were, you know, someone who was abused or
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: forced to do anything on the set? What are your
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: thoughts on the whole thing?
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: I don't understand that thing that Bethany is doing because...
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: I can tell you right now, and trust me, I
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: could be a total disgruntled employee because I was fired
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: for my politics, okay? But I can tell you right now,
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: they never told me to say anything. They never told
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: me to drink. They never told me what to do.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: We were already drinkers to begin with. So they provided
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: the alcohol for us, but they never said, hey, get drunk,
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: start drinking. I never experienced that in my life. I
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: don't understand. Do they encourage it? Like you have a
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: good time? Yeah. But they never said, they never forced
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: it down your throat. They never told you to drink. Yeah.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: And don't you think it's true? I mean, I haven't,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: I've been on two reality shows, nothing to the extreme
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: that you've been on, but I know that everyone sort
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: of makes the excuse.
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: The car is beautiful. Where did you end up going
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: for it?
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: This exclusive place that Dad has connections with. They have
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: more cars for more dealerships than like anywhere else.
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: You have to put me in touch. What's it called?
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: It's Dune ADL.
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: Where?
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: Dunaidial. There's an accent on the E.
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: Do you mean.
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: Yes, I got it on Dundale Cars.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: Lift? Please.
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: Are you going past Kimmage?
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: Oh, Kimmage.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: No.
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: Dundale Cars.
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: You couldn't possibly go anywhere else.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Well, there's all this editing at the end and it's
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: totally different. I don't find that to be true. I mean,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: I know who I am and I know how I act.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: You cannot make someone look completely the opposite of who
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: they are. I mean, I take full responsibility for everything
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: I do. And of course, they can take things out
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: of context. But if you act like an asshole or
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: if you act like a drunk or sex-craved person, they're
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: not going to be able to edit that from someone
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: who's very Christian and is completely straight-laced. So Hair thinning
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: impacts a lot of us, me included. It's not only common,

• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Yes, but they can edit you in a good way.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: For instance, Gina Kirchenheier. She was a drunk. She was
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: a mess. They didn't even show half of the stuff,
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: how she behaved. And they made her look good for
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: years and years and years. They never edited that.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Why do you think they did that?
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know why they even like her. I find
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: her so boring. I don't find her at all interesting. I,
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't, she's cute. She's pretty, but her
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: voice is like annoying. She's with the dud of a boyfriend. She,
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: you know, she has six kids living in a two
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: bedroom condo. I mean, there's nothing that I find interesting
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: in that, that girl. And we all of us used
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: to say, how does she get a good edit? Yeah.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: It's like, they, they, they keep like, you know, they
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: came after Elizabeth. She came after Elizabeth Vargas.
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: Sorry.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah. They never put that in there. I mean, she's
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: never had a party. She had, she's been on that
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: show five years. She's never had a, she had one
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: party in the five years. Like she offers nothing to
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: that show.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: So in that vein of conversation, like what do you
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: think about Bravo's casting job? I mean, I know that
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: they try to pretend that you guys are friends to
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: make it look authentic, especially with the fact that this
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: new New York cast has come out and they did
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: a whole new.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: I love that new New York cast. You do? Oh yeah.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: I'm like obsessed.
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: Awesome.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Who's your favorite?
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: I like Erin.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: She's my favorite. Yeah.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: And- And do you feel like it's true that they
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: always have to have a villain? They always have to
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: have a hero. They have to have somebody down the middle.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Like what are your thoughts on their casting?
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: You know, I, I don't know. I, I, I like,
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: I like it authentic. I like real relationships. I don't
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: like this four step like on Orange County. I find
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: it to be fake and contrived and I don't like it.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: You know, I think, I mean, Like, I think they've
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: gotten away from the housewives, you know, earlier days you
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: saw the families and the kids and the parents, and
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: it was more kind of wholesome and it was more
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: about the families and like what's going on in the
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: family dynamics.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: And now it's like fighting at lunch.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: Now it's like going into, it's the same formula, right? Yeah.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: Going fighting at lunch with the girls. Yeah. I find
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: it to be the same formula and I find it
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: to be kind of boring to be quite honest. You know,
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: it's like, do I have to sit through another lunch
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: and watch them fight or an argument or because, you know,
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: that's not how really it is. I mean, I don't
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: fight with my girlfriends like that.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: No, of course not. So do you feel like you
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: made any real relationships on that show?
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: I was really, really good friends with Shannon and, for
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: a long time. Um, but we're trying to make amends.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: She was supposed to have lunch with her this week.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: And then, you know, obviously you heard about the DUI. Uh,
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: I was, um, you know, Vicki and I were really
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: good friends. We had a falling out and then she
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: called me when she got fired and we're, we are
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: good friends. Um, I was really never good friends with,
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, I liked Emily and I liked Gina, but
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: we were never friends. Like they, they live, I just
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: don't have really anything in common with them. You know
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: what I mean? Um, you know, they live far away.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: They don't, they don't travel like I do. They don't
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: have the, like the clothes that I have, like they
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: don't have it's like you and i because we have
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: we have similar tastes we have a similar vibe we
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: have the same you know i don't have that with
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: them they're that they're not my speed um tamra i
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: was friendly with and then we got in a fight
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: um i find her to be a different person uh
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: she's like mr jekyll mr hyde so i'm not friends
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: with her anymore i am good friends with ramona uh
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: she's you know she's my speed she's my type that's
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: it that's and that's all i'm friends with.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Right and she introduced you to your husband she did Right.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: So we'll get to that in a second. And then
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: I know that, you know, we have to just bring
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: up Shannon for a second. I know you've talked about
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: your feelings on your Patreon. People can go there to
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: listen to that, which is fine. But I just want
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: to be clear. You guys, you and Shannon are trying
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: to work out your differences. And I know in the
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: past you've said a lot of negative things about her.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: But right now you are offering your support. You guys
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: dropped off.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: A lot of negative things about me. I watch what
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: happens live.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: So, well, that's true.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, she came after me. Right. And
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: she came after me at BravoCon. trying to appease that
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: woke mob. And so, you know, she's done a lot
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: to me and I'm just trying to defend myself here.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, of course. I'm not criticizing you for that.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: But my point was, is that during this hard time
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: she's having, there are a lot of people that could
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: be jumping on the bandwagon saying, we expected this from her.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: We expected her to get into an accident. She was
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: drinking too much. I haven't heard that from you guys.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: I've heard you guys being up.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: I'm just trying to give her grace at this time.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, Shannon is kind of like a broken bird.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: You know, she has a ton of remorse. She, I
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: don't want to kick somebody when they're down. And I
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: feel bad for her because she is a really good person.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: And I know that she knows that her kids are
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: disappointed in her. And I think that's probably the worst thing,
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: you know, it's embarrassing for her. Like my daughter is
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: 17 and And she's called me and she's like, dude, mom,
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: if you ever did that, I would like disown you. Like,
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: you know, and I was like, oh my God, but you,
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm your mommy, you know, but she was,
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: that would be so embarrassing to me. And I know
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: that her daughters are the same age as my, my daughter,
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: you know, and I, I can only feel for, for Shannon.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: We were like, well, she could have killed somebody and she, well,
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: she didn't.
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: The car is beautiful. Where did you end up going
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: for it?
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: This exclusive place that Dad has connections with. They have
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: more cars for more dealerships than like anywhere else.
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: You have to put me in touch. What's it called?
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: It's Dune ADL.
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: Where? Dune ADL.
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: There's an accent on the E.
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: Do you mean?
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: Yes, I got it on Dune Deal cars.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: Lyft?
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: Lyft?
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: Please.
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: You're going past Kimmage.
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: Oh, Kimmage.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: No.
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: Done deal cars.
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: You couldn't possibly go anywhere else.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: I hate when people do that. She didn't kill anybody. Right. Right.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: And and frankly, I mean, yes, there could have been
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: a lot of a lot worse things that happened. Nothing
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: bad did happen. Thank God. And, you know, hopefully this
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: will be some sort of wake up call for her
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: if she chooses and if she needs one. But not
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: only that, I think, as you and I both know,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: when something that you do happens, that's embarrassing, or you
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: make a bad decision, that's something that we live with anyways.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: And we have to deal with our family who's judging
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: us for it or giving us all the time. But
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: then when the rest of the world is piling on
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: and talking about it and making criticisms, making judgments, taking
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: their things that they're triggered by out on you, it's
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: even more difficult. So I can only imagine what she's
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: going through in her head, feeling horrified, feeling embarrassed for
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: her kids, whatever. And then listening to this other stuff
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: you know, is like a lot and having paparazzi or
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: whoever sitting outside of her house. It's just a lot.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: And you make, everyone makes mistakes.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: It's 10 times. And you know, it's 10 times harder
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: when the media and everybody's coming after you than what
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: you think it is. Yeah. It's, it's, it's really, really hard.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: It's really hurtful. And it's, it's a tough thing. You
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: have to have a really thick skin or else you
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: can have a nervous breakdown, you know?
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. Um, all right.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: So let's move on. You talked about your daughter, Jolie.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: What does she think about you being so controversial?
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: Um, no, she doesn't say anything like she, she, she's,
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: she's happy that I'm off that show. She didn't want it. Yeah.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: At the end, she didn't want to film. She didn't
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: like the fact that she was how to be there
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: at this thing and she wasn't getting paid. And my
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: daughter is a hustler. She works at a restaurant and
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: she likes making money. And she's like, I'm doing this
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: job and I'm not getting paid. She's like, I'm, what
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: am I doing this for? You know, she, at the end,
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: she was like, I don't want to do this. I
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: don't like being on camera. I don't like not working
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: for free. I don't like it.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: And speaking about the end for a second, I mean,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: I know that you sort of brought this on yourself,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: but were you sort of devastated or regretful? Because I
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: know you were making such a big paycheck and that
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: was your living at the time or most of it
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: and your financial freedom. Did you feel sort of depressed
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: after that? Did you feel like you had made a mistake?
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: I went into a big depression. I did. And Vicky
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: reached out to me and Tamara reached out to me.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: And that was really nice when I got fired because
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: they were saying the same thing. They fell into a
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: great depression. I think when you, you know, when you're
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: making that kind of money and all of a sudden
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: it stops, it's like, oh shit, maybe I should have
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: kept my mouth shut. Yeah. Yeah.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: I get that. Okay. So speaking of Jolie, I wanted to,
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: cause I have an 11 year old daughter and you know,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: the whole process of dating, I want, and you married
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: Rick and you guys co-mingled families. I was curious to
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: get into like how, first of all, were you ever
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: on a dating site? How did you date before Rick? Like,
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: What was your process of meeting men?
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: I never went on a dating site, but I've had
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: two of my girlfriends that were on hinge that ended
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: up marrying doctors and getting married and have babies. Like
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: it's I, but I never was on, um, on a,
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: on a website. I know, uh, what's her name? Patty
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: Singer tried to get me on hers and I'm like,
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: I'm not doing that. I wasn't opposed to it. It
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: was just, I think when I was single, I liked
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: being single. I liked like dating. I didn't have like
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: issues going on dates because there's so many men in, in,
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: in Newport beach.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: So, um, so were there certain things that you looked
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: for where there are red flags that you would stay
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: away from? Like, give us some dating tips.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: I didn't like dating guys that had little kids. I
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: found that very, very, I don't, I don't like little kids.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: Like You know what I mean? Because you're like, you're
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: not the mom. It's a really tough time, right? Cause
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: I don't, I'm not, I'll discipline my own kid, but
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: if some little kid's acting like a brat and I
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: don't know what, you know, what to do, then I'm
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: not the mom. I just don't like dating men that
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: have little children.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Okay. So that was a deal breaker.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's a deal breaker. Somebody was out of work.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: It was a deal breaker. Gotta have a job.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Did they have to be like a doctor, a lawyer? Like,
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: would you date someone?
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: I was, I was, my first husband was a lawyer.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: My second husband was a CEO of leapfrog, you know,
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: and then the boy got the guy that I dated
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: was a plastic surgeon, but I kind of, he was
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: my friend and I was going out with these young
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: hot guys before. So I was like, okay, I'll, I'll
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: try an ugly fat dude, see how that works. And
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: it turned out to be awful. But I also like,
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: Did he have a good personality?
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: He had a good personality. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Okay.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: That can only last so long, I guess.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And then, you know, there's just no attraction. I
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: got to be attracted to somebody. I can't. And that's
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: the thing. Like, I was going on dates with all
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: these guys and they had like, you know, this. And
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: we're like, no. You know, it was like, yeah. Yeah.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Okay. So how did you meet Rick? First of all,
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: how long before this were you single?
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Um, I was, let's see, I was single for, I
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: want to say a year and a half, almost two years.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: I was single. Um, and you know, I dated guys.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: I was on, you know, I had I had like
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: side pieces and placeholders and things like that. But nobody
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: like really that I was like into, you know what
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: I mean? Yeah. So I was, I was dating that
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: plastic surgeon and I was like, Oh, forget him. And
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: I went to, I was on the gay pride parade
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: with Andy Cohen set up. I went to that with
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: Tinsley and Luann and Sonia and that whole group. And
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: I was like, you know what? I don't have any
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: reason to go back to Newport because I, you know,
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: Julie was in camp at the time. So I'm like,
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: Ramona said, hey, stay with me. We have all these
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: things planned in the Hamptons for the summer, all these parties.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: It's going to be single men there. Why don't you come?
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, okay. So I ended up staying with her.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: She was dating this guy named Ron Duguay. They're friends
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: or whatever. And then Ron Duguay was friends with Rick
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: and Rick had a summer party and I went to
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: Rick's summer party. And that's where Ramona and I And
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: that's where I met Red.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: And was it love at first sight? Tell me everything.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: Love at first sight. Love at first sight.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: It was?
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It was like, I gave him a kiss. And
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: then he was reaching out to me on Instagram and
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: my DMs. And then he asked me, for my phone number.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: And then I said, I'm going to London. And he goes, well,
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: I'll meet you in London. So our first date was
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: in London. It was really, really romantic.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: So did you know who he was before you guys
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: got together? Had you seen him on the news?
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: No.

  Speaker 1: So he was just Rick to you.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: It wasn't just Rick. Yeah. Worked at box news. Yeah.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Okay. And then, and then how did that progress? First
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: of all, how many kids does he have?
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: He has a 33 year old daughter and a 27
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: year old daughter. Okay.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: So older. So it didn't take much. It wasn't like
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: integrating young kids together.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: You're right. Right. And, and they were very, they were
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: housewives fans. So they were, you know, when they like, oh,
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: you're like, dad, dad, date her, date her. So, yeah.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: Okay, good. Well, that's always helpful, I guess. So, and
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: then how long did you guys date? It was very short, right?
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: Before you guys got engaged.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: We dated a year, right? Before we got engaged. Yeah.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: Okay. And how did he propose?
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: He had an apartment and he had a big balcony
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: and he, well, we went to Lana Jewelers. And he's like,
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: what kind of rings do you like? I'm shopping for rings.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: And I pointed out what kind of I like because
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: I've always had rounds. And I'm like, I love that ring.
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: And he's like, oh, OK. And then he would you
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: have like flowers and he had champagne. He had Dom
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: and right. And like a cheese board and music. And
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: he got on his knee outside. We had a really
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: romantic by a fire pit. And he proposed to me
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: right there. And he said, I want to meet you
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: on 10-10-2020.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, I love that. So did you guys, you guys
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: lived in different places? I lived in California.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: He lived in New York City.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: And how did you make that work?
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: Well, he forced himself to move from New York because
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: he was based in New York. He worked for Fox
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: for 25 years. His contract was coming up and they're like, well,
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: we really don't need you in California. And so he's like,
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: I don't care. I want to be with Kelly. And
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: so they didn't renew his contract. And now we're just
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: doing our podcast and making things work.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: From an outside perspective, I will say it seems amazing
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: because you two, the biggest thing I noticed is that
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: you guys have each other's back. And that seems like
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: it's so evident with you guys. It seems like you
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: guys are really in love. And I just, I really
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: commend you guys because it's something to, for people to
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: aspire to in relationships in general, but in second chance
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: relationships or third chance, whatever it is, because it's something
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: that you really want to have, especially later in life.
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: The car is beautiful. Where did you end up going
• 42:22
  Speaker 5: for it?
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: This exclusive place that Dad has connections with. They have
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: more cars for more dealerships than like anywhere else.
• 42:28
  Speaker 5: You have to put me in touch. What's it called?
• 42:30
  Speaker 6: It's Dune ADL.
• 42:32
  Speaker 5: Where? Dune ADL.
• 42:35
  Speaker 6: There's an accent on the E.
• 42:38
  Speaker 5: Do you mean.
• 42:39
  Speaker 6: Yes, I got it on Dundale Cars.
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: Lift?
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: Please.
• 42:41
  Speaker 5: Are you going past Kimmage?
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, Kimmage.
• 42:44
  Speaker 5: No.
• 42:46
  Speaker 6: Dundale Cars. You couldn't possibly go anywhere else.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: And to take you to the end. And I think
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: that's so important, especially for what you've been through him,
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: you know, leaving his job for you. I just think it's,
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: it's amazing. And I really commend you guys. Cause it's
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: something that I hope to find. So you guys are
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: a great couple. Thank you. Okay. So I want to
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: ask you a couple questions that only you, I think
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: could answer. Let's see who, okay. We got to just
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: do a couple of these. Who is the most overrated housewife?
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: Uh, overrated housewife. Uh, I would say Sonia Morgan.
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 43:31
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: I just think that her, she's a one trick pony.
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: She acts like a slut and she is, uh, she
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: just seems so dirty to me. I, you know, I
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: don't find her amusing at all. She, uh, I just
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: don't find, I don't find Sonia Morgan. I think she's
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: a drunk. I find her to be disgusting. I think
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: she looks like a pig to me. I don't know.
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: I don't like her.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: So I take it. You're not going to be watching
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: her new crappy league.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: No.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: Who is the most underrated or the most misunderstood housewife?
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, wait, overrated. I would have to say Gina Kirchenheimer.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: Sorry for the Orange County. I don't get that, but. Okay.
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: Cool. Who's the most misunderstood in like a good way
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: that you think that they should be doing better or
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: people should like them more?
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: I think Ramona.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: I think that's a good answer. People give her a
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: really hard time.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: People give her a really hard time, but she's got
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: such a great heart and she's so sweet and so nice. Yeah.
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: Can she come off a little New York-ish, you know, like...
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: But she has a kind heart. She doesn't mean bad
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: for anything. You know what I mean? She's misunderstood, I think.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: Okay, good answer. Do you think Kyle is having a
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: late in life lesbian moment? And would you ever do that?
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: I think she's not having a lesbian moment. I think
• 45:04

• 45:11

  Speaker 2: but I don't think that she is a lesbian. I
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: don't think so. Okay. I think if you could do that,
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: I think she's just doing it for publicity. I don't,

  Speaker 2: I don't think she's a lesbian.

  Speaker 1: So you do a podcast now, the Rick and Kelly
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: show daily smash. Tell us about that.
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: So I do, I have a Patreon, the Rick and
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: Kelly show on Patreon, which is a paid wall. And
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: then the daily smash is on YouTube Monday through Friday.
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: And it's five days a week, five days a week,
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: 30 minutes. But it's fun. We like it. You know,
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: I just, I love having this platform where I can
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: say whatever I want. I don't have to be censored
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: or I don't, you know, like being on the housewives,
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: I couldn't say anything. I was getting fined constantly. And
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: just having your own thing is just so rewarding. And
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: I love working with Rick. It's so much fun. And,
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: you know, I always found that like when I was
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: in advertising, when, you know, I loved my job and
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: I was the number one salesperson at the Arizona Republic
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: and I loved it. I just love it. And I
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: feel like if you do something that you love to do,
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: you'll be successful at it. So I just, I just
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: love having the freedom and to just say whatever we want.
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: It's nice.
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: And tell people what the difference is. I mean, it
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: seems like you give a lot more of your insight
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: on the housewives and stuff in your Patreon. And then
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: in your daily show, you're talking about things that you
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: guys have been doing, you know, the daily news. Is
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: that correct?
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So like on the, on the YouTube, we just
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: talk about, you know, like Jeff Lewis does, you know,
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: we talk about our life, our experiences, what we're doing
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: from day to day. the restaurants that we ate at,
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: you know, the experiences on vacations that we've done. We
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: do daily vlogs. We talk about stuff in the news,
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: gossip on, you know, what's going on with people. So yeah. Okay.
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's super fun to listen to. It's like
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: a quick listen. It's great. You guys usually recap things
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: that are about yourselves. So I think it gives people
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of insight into you guys, to your relationship,
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: to where you are, what you're doing, which I think
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: is cool. So I know Rick has a book out.
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: Will you tell me a little bit about what he's doing?
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: It is called Chasing Catastrophes, 35 Years Covering Wars, Hurricanes,
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: and Terror Attacks, and Other Breaking News.
• 58:39
  Speaker 5: Oh, wow.
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: And at the end, it's all about me.
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: How he found you and it changed his life.
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: His love story to me.
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: Or his biggest catastrophe.
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: I would love for him to do like stuff that,
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: you know, like a book, like the gossip, like at
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: Fox News, like with everybody like banging each other. Those
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: kinds of stories are good. I like reading that kind
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: of stuff. Right.
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: Have you read his book?
• 59:07
  Speaker 3: Uh-huh.
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 59:08
  Speaker 5: That's good.
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: On audio too. So if, you know, you're in the
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: car or whatever, you can, you know, listen to, or
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: on the airplane, it's on audio too. Awesome.
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get the book, Rick, because I used
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: to work at Bloomberg News for many years. I love news.
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: So I would find that fascinating. I'm obsessed with the news.
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: And it's not really, it's about things that happen. Like
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: it's not like political or anything like that. So, you know.
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: It's things he covered while he was there.
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: Find the scenes of what goes on. Yeah.
• 59:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, amazing.
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: Would you ever go back onto a housewife show if
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: they asked you?
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: I would really like to do an ultimate girls trip.
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: I would really, you know, it's like, it's, it's, it's
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: a week long. You'd have fun. Vicky says it's the best.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: You get paid very, very well. And, you know, you
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: don't have to, and it's like, you get in, you know, involved,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: invested with all these girls that, you know, are on
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: the housewives. I, you know, I, I, I would love
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: to do one of those. Okay. I told him Andy
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: Cohen that he should do one that with women that
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: have been to jail.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's a great idea.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: That would be really controversial.
