• 1:30
  Speaker 2: you wrote a book. You wrote a book.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: I did.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: It's a really cute little book. It's a cocktail read.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: I've heard by people that read it that they're like,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: it's like you're telling a story to me. And I said,
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: I know, that's how I wrote it.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: That's great. How did you get the idea to write
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: this book? How did this all begin?
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: It all came from Bravo Con twenty twenty three.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: I get a lot of members from the group who
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: want to talk to me, and they're like, you know what,
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: you did such a great job at helping us figure
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: it all out through the months, because not Bravo Khan
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: is not just to buy a ticket you're done. It's
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: a prepared experience. You have to do the six months
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: to prepare if you're gonna do it right. And she said,
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: I wish there was a book about it, and I went,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: oh my god. I started writing the book in my
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: head that minute, and I said, I'm going to write
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: that book.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: So but how it came to a book was a
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: lot different though.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Then, Yeah, did you publish it yourself? Did you find
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: a publisher? Oh my gosh, that's amazing. It's available on
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Amazon right, That's where I got my copy.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so go.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: To Amazon here. It was easier than yeah, oh absolutely.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: And also you can do it right now, you know
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: what I mean, Like you won't have to be waiting
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: in some sort of kitty waiting room for it to
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: be published, and it's on your terms.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's why the pause last year was so
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: great for me because I started writing the book in
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: December right after Bravo Khan. I came home and I
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: wrote out every single chapter and it was kind of
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: like a draft, and then it really kind of sucked.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: So I was like then I kind of like figured
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: out Bravo Khan was gonna be on pause anyway, so
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: I literally put the book away. I was like, I
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: was bravoed just I had a lot of it, you know,
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Bravo Khan. So then in like April, I was like,
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: now I want to get back on the book because
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: I know it was on pause. What am I going
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: to do? And just like you, I decided to come
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: up with an idea to do some things before Bravo
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Khan eighteen months I had to wait. So I started
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: a Patreon account and the yeah and the Patreon I
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: actually said to folks, look, I will write a chapter
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: a week for seventeen or whatever. Seventy chapters. I had
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, so I said, I'm going to write this
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: book until it's published. But then after that I started
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: revising the chapters to be in categories and it really
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: made sense. So then after week seventeen or so, I
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: was like, I'm kind of wrapping up, which was perfect.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: So then I really got it tidy down to nineteen chapters,
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: all organized nicely by topics and it's an easy read.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: And then I went to an editor on fiver, got
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: it done and published on Amazon and was right before
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Miami Miami Bravo FanFest.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Oh was right before the fan fest. Oh my gosh,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: that's amazing. Did and I imagine you went to the
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: fan fest.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: And that's when I met Andy and got to give
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: him a book.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, what was that like? Meeting Andy Cohen?
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: It was really fun. You know. I kind of learned
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: that Andy's kind of like Andy on camera and Andy
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: like not on camera, so he was kind of a
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: mix of both, like he was on Watch What Happens
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Live and then you know he was. I met him
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: behind a building that they were kind of like between
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: little scenes of stuff. So it was really quick, but yeah,
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: I can tell he was like not ready to be
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: normal Andy versus being on camera Andy, But it was
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: really fun. He was really nice and we did a
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: photo op and stuff.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: And what did he say about your book?
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: I asked him if he was gonna read it? He
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: said to read on the plane.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: So I don't know.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Oh that's so great, Oh my gosh.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: What was he like?
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Oh this is such a great idea.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was really a fast, like thirty seconds I
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: got with him, so it wasn't like we had a
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: lot of time.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: More than anybody will ever get, you know what I mean.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: It's amazing now. Also, it's so unbelievably fortuitous that you're
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: on the show today because Bravo Khn They've Bravos announced
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: that the twenty twenty five tickets gonna go on sale
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: June sixth tickets and then the Watch what Happens Live
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: tickets those are going to go on sale July eleventh.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: Yes, so that's kind of like a Bravo Khan has
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: kind of a theme to how everything goes. They get
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: the tickets out first, Like I said in the book,
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: that's number one if you are interested in going to
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Bravo Khan, and if you purchase the book, you could
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: read it in sequence of how things happen, and it's
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: really handy because it kind of like the little guidebook
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: of oh, what will happen next? Because that's the problem
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: people have is they miss out on the big things
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: with trying to keep up because there's stuff that keeps happening.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Then you got photo op scheduling, and the schedules come
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: out and the app gets updated and it's just lots
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: of series of things. So the big, the big ticket stuff.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Comes first though, So the big, the big ticket stuff
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: comes first. Now, you know, I have to say, I
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: just did a trip to disney World, like Orlando, disney World,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: not Disneyland here I live in LA But so I
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: kind of liken it to if you don't prepare for
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: your disney World trip or Disneyland for that matter, you know,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: if you haven't like gotten it into the groups, done
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: all of your searches, figured out everything, you can't just
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: like show up and be happy because there are all
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: to be like, how am I going to get food
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: mobile order? What is that? How am I gonna meet
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: this princess? How do I do that? No, you had
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: to have already scheduled that, you know. So it is
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: so similar the bravocn experience is incredibly similar to this,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: and you have people who have TikTok accounts dedicated to
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: how to survive and their tips and tricks for like
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Disney World and everything like that. And there are books,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: and there are websites and there's everything. So you have
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: literally done what no one has done. And that is
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: why I say. You were like, oh, I'm the mayor
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: of this town called Bravo and I was like, no,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: you're actually the president of the nation. Because so I
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: just want to start with if you're not a member
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: of Lisa's Facebook group, please identify the Facebook group and
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: how it stands apart from the other Bravo con Facebook groups.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Yes, so if you go to go to Facebook and
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: search the word Bravo con you're going to find many
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: different groups named Bravo Con. Ours is the only one
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: with the word Bravocan. We have twenty three thousand some
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: members right now. That's going to be growing in the
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: next month, so expect higher numbers. So we are like
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: the top numbered one. But a lot of them have
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: fake names like exchange tickets, ticket buying, stuff like that.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: That is not us, and that's all scammers that is
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: a free tip to your listeners, because oh anything that
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: does not say Bravo con next to it is scam.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: I do have a secret.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: That's the noise for a free tip from Lisa Henderson.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Yes, well, I do have a second group. I started
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: because I'm trying to watch the scammers in it. I've
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: been on scam alerts since last year, so okay, I
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: have a second one that scammers are joining, but there's
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: no info in it, but people are thinking so so
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: then I lead them over to the big group and
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: then we vet them properly. Sommers cover can be that.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we're very hardcore on moderation in my group.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: How many moderators do you have? We're there are six
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: of us.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Amazing, that's great.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: All volunteer. We all we we actually have a large
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: moderation chat going constantly about Bravo Khan. Even a year
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: ago we did. So they're all dedicated and most go
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: every year too, So we watch for that stuff. So
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: if people want to join. There's no haters, no meanies.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: We don't allow, you know, junk talk, and we do
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: allow some picking on people's things that are funny, you know,
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: but no no mean stuff. No kid talk, no disability,
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: no anything with health, skin, diet, body, I mean, none
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: of that. I love pretty hard core space.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: No, that's so smart, especially when you have that many members,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: because things can turn really quickly when you've got a
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: lot of people. So it's nice that it's a safe space.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: I'm obviously a member. I love it. It's it's all
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: dip in there every once in a while. So basically
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: the group is not only just for BRAVOCN. I noticed
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: that you guys will will mention you know, you'll mention
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: it all. You'll talk about what's going on some of
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: the shows. So it's a really fun group. It's not
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: just Bravo con Obviously, now that we're starting to gear
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: up for it, it starts to turn a little more
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: serious towards that angle. And I would like to mention that,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: you know, you have so many tips about like if
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: you're trying to sell your BRAVOCN tickets, because that does
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: happen sometimes when you've bought a ticket and then you
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: can't go right, so and that's when people get taken
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: advantage of because they think that they're buying a ticket
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: from an actual person instead of but it's actually a scammer,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: So you really on your page will ultimately kind of
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: help people along to sell their legitimate tickets if they
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: need to, and you have a whole vetting process to
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: do that. Would you say that that's a fair way
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: to explain it.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: Well, I will say, first of all, I'd like to say,
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: we're in season four Brava Khan. Oh season, bravak has
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: a season.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, tell me about the seasons.
• 11:08

• 11:12
  Speaker 3: a full six months of season, so okay, And season
• 11:17

• 11:19
  Speaker 3: full months and then we have Bravo Khan Reunion, which
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: is the whole month after So there is kind of
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: a theme to Brava Khan in my.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Opinion, Bravo Kon Reunion. What's that?
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: Well, after Bravo Khan in November, there's a whole month
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: of the group being all charged up, sharing their pictures
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: and talking about it. So that's our reunion month. Oh cool, cute?
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: That is so cute. I love it. Okay. So the
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: season is kicked off today. That's amazing because the announcement
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: that the tickets are on sale, so can you take
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: us through obviously some bullet points, some some some bigger
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: things that you'd like to share about your book book
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: that will get people interested to you know, look into
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: your book further and if you have any other free
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: tips that you'd like to share that that starts today.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: You know, obviously you said the big tickets they roll
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: out first, and and that's where that's where we're starting.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: Well, first, let's start off by protecting yourself as a
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: purchaser of Bravo con tickets.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, yeah.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: I first and foremost don't make any money on the
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: book hardly. It's I make like two dollars, so it's
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: not like a big amount. So I tell people, if
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: you buy it, you're supporting my cause. But you're What
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: you're going to really get out of is to learn
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: how to prevent getting scammed and how to buy tickets.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: There's kind of a method to buying tickets because it's
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: like winning the golden ticket from Wily Wonka. It is
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: really hard to get them. Yeah, so you've got to
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: be ready how to.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Buy Is it so hard? Like? Is it like a
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: tailor swift thing where there's only so many that they
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: can sell? So what is the process with buying tickets
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: because I've never I've never done that before because I've
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: already always been doing something, So how does that even work.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: Well, they'll announce on the sixth or the sixth they
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: go on sale. It usually happens around noon. That's kind
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: of typical, and everybody kind of has to be prepared
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: to buy them. And that's what I talk about in
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: the book is how to prepare that. It's not just
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: like going on Ticketmaster. It's a big deal, okay, because
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: tickets will sell out within five ten minutes, Oh my gosh.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: But then as a free tip orn please yes, ma'am.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: As a free tip, Bravo will still release tickets during
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: the day, So don't panic too hard. We have a
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: lot of people that are like, oh, I still got them.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: You know, you just got to let the computer refresh
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: its numbers because a lot of people change their mind,
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: don't want to buy them, or it's a bad ticket
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: sale or something. So on ticket day, I have a
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: heart attack the whole day long. Oh God, almost can't
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: work because well already today my whole feed is going nut.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: So so anyway, that's the first tip is be prepared
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: and then if you don't get tickets, please be careful
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: going to other Facebook groups because the chances of you
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: getting a legitimate ticket are zero. Wow, what happens with
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: those legitimate Okay? So if they're illegitimate, then that just
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: means their ticket to nowhere. They just take your money
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: and you don't even get to go. Yeah, these these
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: scammers have actually learned from us from the past two seasons.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: What they do is they learn our Bravo Verse language
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: and then they have teams of people that are all
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: fake people that are learning our language and they're talking
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: to us and people they fall for it. So here's
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: one thing you'll know is that in our group this year,
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: we're changing tickets sales. Member. You asked me earlier, so
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: we're changing ticket sales this year. So open posting is
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: not going to be available. So let's say you want
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: to sell yours. Usually we let people do that, but
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: then that's where the scammers come in, and you can't
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: control twenty five thousand people. This year, the mayor of
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Bravo con Me is changing it up so they aren't there,
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: so the scamming will be less likely. And my moderators
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: are all on it. And we've got thousands of members
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: who know how scammers work now, so we protect each other.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: And also, you're not allowed to sell your ticket for
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: any more than what you paid in my group.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Oh that's all right, correct?
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: No, I said, I don't make any money off this stuff.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: I mean I do know there, should you?
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Why would you help somebody make money off of there?
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Uh huh, I'm going to retract that. I do
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: make money off my Patreon, like you have Patreon that's
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: a bonus, but off ticket sales. No, no, And I
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: do have a ticket wait list. I'm running myself as
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: part of my Patreon. So if you are on my Patreon,
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: you get first DIBs at tickets.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Because because people who want to sell their tickets will
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: come to you. Oh that's so smart.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: So I had to conquer how to deal with this
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: because our group is really popular for selling tickets. But
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: to be honest with you, there's only about fifty to
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: one hundred for sale. There's not thousands like people think.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: There's only like twenty two thousand tickets sold for this
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: whole thing. And so when people here's what happens. Someone
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: has to cancel due to family emergency they're sick or something,
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: they know to come to our group, and they know
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: to post their tickets. I and the moderators will halt
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: those in the queue, and then I reach out to
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: them privately and I vet them myself to make sure
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: they're not a scammer. Then I go to my ticket waitlist,
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: which some people might think is unfair, but you know what,
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: the people that signed up for the waitlists were already
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: paying last year, to be honest with to support me,
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: not to have any guarantee of a ticket, but they
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: want to support my patreon. You know you've got subscribers too.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I think that's totally fair. Also, you know,
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: you're protecting people's safety and that's invaluable.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: So it really was. And if someone just joined and
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: they're like, that's not fair, I'm like, it's not fair.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: Last year that people got scammed, No absolutely control it,
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: and we tried our best to keep scammers out. But
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: this year I put a little guard around the house,
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: a guard around the town, and I'm like, now I'm
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: the mayor, so I'm gonna make sure and my moderators are.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: It has to be because I know how to vet
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: people pretty good, so they'll come to the group to
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: want to sell them. We'll decide if it's a legit person,
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: I'll bet them personally, then go to my wait list.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: And the thing is a lot of my folks on
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: the wait list are already going to be buying tickets
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: on their own, so the list will get shorter and shorter.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: And then I got the members to hit yep. So
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: anybody who signs up as a free member still might
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: have a small shot.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: But oh wow, that's great.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: There's not many tickets for sale. People think there are,
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: but there's not. Wow. I mean, that's like gold. Nobody
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: wants to sell them, but if you have to, at
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: least you know. Like last year, we had a guy
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: who had two sets of VIP him and his wife
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: couldn't come, and I was like, I wasn't sure if
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: he was legit or not. But finally when I verified it,
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: the tickets went like that, Oh my gosh, the seconds
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: they're posted and then it's a random lottery. So and
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: then you got to hope those persons aren't scammer or
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: scamming them.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: So when you when people log on on June sixth,
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: that's say twelve o'clock they're going to what website to
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: get these tickets? Is it the Bravo website?
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they posted it. It's the Bravo Con twenty twenty
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: five dot com.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: And so they just try to like they make it
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: in the queue or they you know, they is the process,
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: like you put the tickets in or it's saying you can't,
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: and you're fighting against it, and you have to keep
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: trying and refreshing, like what is the process?
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: Like it's like you can buy now button and then
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: hopefully if there's tickets, they'll take you through the wizard
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: of buying it. If it says sold out right away,
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: then you got to keep refreshing.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, god it wow wow.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: And that day is kind of crazy because a lot
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: of people their browsers aren't working or whatever. That's why
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: I give the tips in the book on some options
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: and another big tip.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I wasn't expecting so many tips.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, get everybody off the internet that day at
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: your house, okay.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: And hardwire and baby.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: Get everybody off the streaming apps, turn off Netflix, just
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: get down to quiet, okay, control center time.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, let me take a quick break. This is
• 19:34

• 19:36
  Speaker 2: works for me. Genuinely. I use OS one face topical
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: supplement by One Skin. I live and die by it.
• 19:43

  Speaker 2: anything on subscription because I just have a fear of
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: commitment with products. But because this stuff works so well
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: and I am so obsessed with it, I have seen
• 19:54

• 19:58
  Speaker 2: and I am completely obsessed with the results in the
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: way it feels and when I put it on, I
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: feel the peptides, I feel the stuff working. I know
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: that it's working on everything that I needed to be doing.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: So I want to talk about being on the cusp
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: of summer. Think about it. Sun exposure, chlorine, dry air
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: from the ac everything it wears down your skin barrier.

• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Now I'm looking at the prices here, so it looks
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: like Bravoholic. This is general admission. It's a oh, I say,
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: three day general admission ticket to Bravo kan and this
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: is six hundred and seventy two dollars and sixty one cents.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Does that sound about right?
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah? I think so that's that's.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: For three days. You get all three days. Like they
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: don't make it available to purchase like one ticket.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: They do.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: You can buy one day, Oh you can, Oh yeah.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: It'll be later. Oh they just updated the website again here,
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: Oh I did. Okay, Yeah, they updated quite a bit.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: So so the ticket, Yeah, they change it often, so
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: might want to you know, watch that. Oh okay, I
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: kind of you know, in my book, since I've already
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: been you know, knowing how Bravocon runs, I didn't feel
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: like they were going to change the format too much,
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: and so farther they're not, which is good because all
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: of us like to no consistency. Okay, the price did
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: go up, as I guessed, and I also guessed that
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: they'd put tickets on sailorly, so I'm.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: Right with So is this earlier this year than it
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: was last two years ago?
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: It's about them month plus summerly. Oh wow, that's great. Well,
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: you know, I just ended my week long book launch
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: tour in New York. You did, Yes, I was up
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: there whole week.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: That's amazing, Lisa.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we did this huge party at Rails. We did
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: a huge roop terrorist party.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's amazing.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: And then we all went to watch What Happens Live. Oh.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Now, when you say we all, who is we all?
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: You obviously have a million people that you know.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: But we have a small group in the Facebook group
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: called the Ultimate Girls Trip Group and we do trips.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: Oh god, you guys. If you're not on this group, like,
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: I don't even know what to tell you, but we're insane.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: We're like, we're like the ladies who travel. We have
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: done two trips and then we did Miami together too,
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: so it's like, uh yeah.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Oh that's so cool.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: I were like, I swear, we're just like this biggest
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: fun fan club ever.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: I love that. Okay, that's so great. So and then
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: it's looking like future Bravo Lab. Wait, let's see.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: Yep, it's typical.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: VIP is one thousand, four hundred and sixty three and
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: fifty two cents.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: Yep, that went up two hundred and some dollars, like
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: it was fifty last year, which you know how it is.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: I mean, it hasn't been on for two years. Everything
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: goes up. Now when people are like that's super expensive,
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: it really isn't when you think of what you're getting.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: So let's say you go go to like def Con
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: or Comic Con. Those tickets are lower, but now they're
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: not paying video production sound people like all the stages,
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: the Bravo lbs have to get paid. Everybody gets paid, right,
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: So it's kind of like it's more of an entertainment
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: event or than a booth event like Comic Con and
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: def Con.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: You know, so right, they very they're very different because
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: you're actually, uh, these the stars are performing as well
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: as interacting, whereas like in a comic con, you may
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: be able to get in line and get something signed,
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: but that's it. You're not going to see them necessarily
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: in a bigger scope.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: And yeah, I don't know if they all get on panels.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: I know that they have some panels for like the
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: big ones, but I mean Marable Coon is all about
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: entertainment and it's so constant. Yeah, there's handlers involved, there's
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: extra security, you know.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: And the other thing is I want to mention about
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: the crowds too, because like I really felt and I
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: would love to hear your opinion because in Vegas now,
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, it just feels so much more open and
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: it's it's you don't feel crowded as much as I
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: loved it in New York.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: It it was.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: It was, you know, your elbow to elbow, You're getting
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: a little bit more of a comic con New York
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: City vibe where you're it's just like kind of cramped.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: But I also didn't min ad because it's exciting and
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: it's just fun. And but in Vegas it's so different.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Did you feel that way too.
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And initially I kind of like, I love the Javits,
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: but I think I loved it more for me because
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: I ride the you know, the scooter, and I just
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: love that everything was there. Yeah, and I love having
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: drop off with the uber and then getting back. And
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: I loved our nine time events and I loved the hotel.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: We were at. But then the first year in Vegas,
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: someone in Bravo that works there was like, so, what
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: do you think better than Javits, And I go, honestly,
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: I do. I do think it's better now. I just
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: needed to because in my head I was already thinking
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: it was going to have the same thing, not the same.
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: But we're at Javits, you know, Yeah, but I do
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: love the Vegas thing. My favorite part is for people,
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: not a free tip, just a favorite is when you're
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: coming over from the Lincoln Harris from the hotel side,
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: there's a crossover a little street. It's very tiny, but
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: it's our awkway to get to the Forum and it's
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: super close to the link. Like I take my scooter
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: right from my room to the Forum. All the Bravo
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: labs hang out there and they when they get dropped
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: off in the limos, so it's kind of like fun
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: to sit. And this is like I want to circle
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: this back gamy to when people say it's so expensive,
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: there is Bravo coan on a budget options, so I
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: wanted to I want to relay that before.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: People thought I was yeah, Bravo con and a budget options. Yes, yes,
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: we'll give all the spectrum.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: All these cool fun things that are free and don't
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: even have to go like the outside where they come
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: on the limos. You can still stand out there and
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: see them.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: So it's kind of like there, but you're not. You
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: don't have to pay a ticket, right, yes, yeah, so
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: that that to me was always special.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: You've noticed that people show up without having a ticket?
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: Yes they do. Yeah, And there's a lot of secrets there.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: I could tell, but I won't know.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: You have to get the book, I mean, because honest,
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm reading through it and I'm going wow, like,
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: this is very comprehensive. It is extremely detailed, and this
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: is stuff that you just wouldn't know. And it's not
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: like your bestie who loves Bravo knows it either. You
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: have to hear it from the person who's in the
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: trenches and also the people who have lived it, who
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: have experienced it, and who are connected because I know, Lisa,
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: that you deal with you know a lot of upper
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: level NBC and Bravo executives who have basically knighted you,
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: you know, and have given you you know, basically they're
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: blessing and so it really it speaks to how legitimate
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: you are and honest you are, and you're promoting something
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: that we all love in a very safe and easy way.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: And so and I just love that. I love that
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: you are connected with Bravo, like they know who you are.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: You're very involved with them. You get a lot of
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: if you don't mind me saying like infirm from them,
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: and you know, I won't expose you. But it's great
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: to know that, like behind all of this, even though
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: you built all this up, they have know what an
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: incredible thing you've created, and they've come to you and
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: been like wow, like this is amazing. Let us be
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: a part of what you're doing.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: They do enjoyed the group. They came to us in
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: twenty nineteen when word got around there was a Facebook
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: group about Bravo Khan. I think they weren't back then,
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: you know, there was no there's not a lot of
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: Bravo communities. Actually, they're all Instagram accounts or TikTok accounts,
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: and those are one person running the narrative, you know,
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: of what they want to say. The Bravocan group. Lets
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: everybody have a say, unless we don't allow the post
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: because it might be not upper rally, but Bravo kan
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: during the whole weekend. It was filled with people has
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: shared their experiences, showing things, talking and being a community.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: And that's why I think Bravo is that we're a
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: community and they follow us and watch us and read
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: our stuff. And we weren't the nice group because of that.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: We're the nice group because I don't like those those
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: junkie groups that allow that. And there's a lot on
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: Facebook that are Bravo based, but I don't allow it.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: We keep it tight and nice and clean, and I
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: think Bravo likes that also, so they work with us
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: on a lot of things. We did a lot of
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: stuff after COVID because COVID shut down Bravo con for
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: two years, So we did a lot of group things
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: with them to keep the spirit up. And I do
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: a lot of cheerleading during the year between seasons. Yeah,
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: it's a lot.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: In your group. There's just no drama.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: Darling drama, darling drama. Well, there's some drama, but I
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: try to keep you know what I mean, I talk
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: a little about the stuff. You know, we're not that.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, between seasons, we talk about all the Bravo lebs,
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: the rumors, the gossip, but we try to keep it
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: on the nicer side. But then they can get fear
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: during Jersey time.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: I have a question for you. In your book, it
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: says will SVIP make a comeback?
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: And it did not. Yeah, I had hopes. SVIP was
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: a Javits thing that was very unique, and it was
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: in nineteen also, but they didn't have a comeback.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: But I mean I think that because that was kind
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: of like the middle rung.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: Right, no, it was the top one.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, that was the top rung. Yes, oh right, svip duh.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know why I.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: But they replaced it with that with So what they
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: did in twenty two was had the SVIP experience, but
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: really they just eliminated that and just added it all
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: to the VIP.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: That was smart.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah. A lot of people though, loved the SVIP because
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: they felt it was a little more.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: I mean yeah, yeah.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: It felt like that the VIP lounge in Vegas was
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: like twenty times the size of the one in Javits.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it sure was. I mean, yeah, that was crazy, yeah,
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: and will be again.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: Then you're like, holy smoke, this was but you had
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: the cool thing, wasn't in twenty three when it was
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: twenty three. When I walked in, I was like early
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: two at opening, and I was like a time for
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: a cocktail ready, you know, at ten o'clock. I literally
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: go up to the bar and my god, this happened
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: to me before I forget their name Lisa. Was it hoxteen,
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, coxtne yeah, Miami. Yeah. There she was standing
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: by herself at the bar. Oh my gosh, and I
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: whooped her and I started panicking because I did this
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: with Marisol too. I forgot her name. Like when I
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: saw her, I was like yeah.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're in shock. You're like Betty, Betty,
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: I love you.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it happened when I walked in on the bathroom
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: at Marisol walked walked in with me. I was like,
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: uh struck. So anyway, there was Lisa and we end
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: up talking for quite a while. She put my my
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: crown on. She was so fun and I low Bravo
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: Khan crown and just spend time with us talking And
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: that to me is special moments that I much prefer
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: over photo ops. But they're very hard to get. So
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: if you ever get a Bravo lab outside of a
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: photo op and you got a couple of minutes. That's
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: them being a person usually, Yeah, and that kind of
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: has a different emotion when you have a memory of Bravo.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: Right, And she was obviously very kind to you.
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: Yes, And she didn't know who I was. Nothing about
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: the Facebook group. Oh wow, I could have been anybody.
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: And I was in my scooter and just you know,
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: rolled her on on up there and she was just
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: chatting away. Wow, she was gloriously looking to my god,
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: just oh, I mean, do you forget about it?
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: By the way, you would mention if you go to Bravo, Khan,
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: some people go without tickets, and because there's stuff that
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: you can do, and you've got tricks and things like
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: that in your book seventy two Hours Unscripted, by the way,
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: one of the things that you can do is like
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: I did a show there. I did a show in Vegas. Yes,
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: I did it, and and and that was in the evening,
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: So it doesn't conflict with the Bravo con And if
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: you're not going to watch what happens live and you
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: don't have tickets to watch what happens live, I know
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: that other people you know who are you know, like
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: the parenthetical Bravo do their own thing there, and there's
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: like meet and greets and things that like podcasters do
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: and they probably will continue to do more. So there's
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: those types of things that are available just for the community.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: Well, I put that in the book that there are
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: extra things like what you folks do. There's you and
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: some other people that had their own shows after shows,
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: things like that.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: Is my name in the book. Yes, Oh my god,
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: I didn't see it.
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: What's a page? Oh my gosh.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: I am kidding. I'm I got a book. I gotta
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: I have to earmark this page. I'm gonna ear mark it.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna highlight it.
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: Well, I know I would. It's like to read books
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: when people send them to you just breathe them. I
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: get it. But but yes, I could probably tell you
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: the exact page after the show, so I can go
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: and search it.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: But I'm going to read it from beginning to end.
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: Anyway, it's a breez. It's really as a nice breether. Yeah,
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: you can pick it up and read it. And I
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: even have an index in the beginning so you can
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: go find the pages. Oh, perfectly, Okay, it's nice. So anyway, Yes,
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: there's other people that do shows too. So you know,
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: if you just want to go and visit and just
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: be part of the experience, you definitely can feel it.
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: Just go down to the form. There's plenty of walking
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: area with the excitement and you don't have to get in,
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: but there's outside stuff that's still going on. You know.
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: It's not like a carnival where there's like a lot
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: of but there might be a food vendor. But this
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: one girl from Australia came with no tickets. She wanted
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: one really bad. She held up a sign and I
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: happened to see it and I posted it in the
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: Facebook group and someone sold her a ticket.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Get out. You are making people's dreams come true.
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: She gets so lucky that I walked by because I
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: run the group, so I was like, emergency, emergency. Yeah,
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: I know, it's not sweet, and I know I'm a
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: little ticket angel sometimes for the people that don't you
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: know know, sometimes I read my group, I see a
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: lot of stuff and people don't ask. Sometimes I can
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: make dreams come true. That's amazing. I love that about you.
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: I was going to ask them that more thing. Was
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: it about the hotels?
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember what I was going to ask you, well,
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: I stayed at Caesar's last time. Oh and I really
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: liked it. And oh they does Bravo give a discount
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: for the hotels at Caesar's or Okay, well.
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: They have a link that has a pre sale kind
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: of deal that might be out after today. Yeah, because
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: they got posted everywhere. But they sent this out to
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: people last year, and it's kind of well known in
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: my group anyway that we got the link last year.
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: So I booked mine last April. Oh wow, yeah, we
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: filled them up. I'm sure.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's amazing. Oh my gosh.
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: Wait, yeah, well it's it was kind of posted other
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: places too, like, so it's not like a deep secret.
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: Bravo posted it, but a lot of people don't get
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: all that information. That's why my group there's a lot
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: of information, a lot of good stuff. And my Patreon,
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: if you want to join for free, you're going to
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: get the updates. That's the point is my Patreon is
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: to field the important stuff and I'll send it out
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: to them so they get in their email. There's links
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: to go to the Facebook to read it. Then you
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: can comments. I'm gonna tell you my group is gonna
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: have twenty to thirty posts a day, easy coming up,
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: and then I'll get to fifty, and then one hundred,
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: and then to Bravo Con. It's hundreds thousands a day.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: It's just what's the name of your Patreon?
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: The patreon is called I kind of named it uniquely,
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: the Unofficial Guide to Bravo Con. Oh great, yes, and
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: that's kind of like a Patreon social media account. The
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: book is called seventy two Hours Unscripted because of Bravo's name.
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: I couldn't use the you know, Bravo Con. But but yes,
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: it's kind of a cute little, you know, unscripted, little
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: weekend of fun for the the Bravo folks.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: And it's fantastic. I just absolutely love it.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm kind of like feeling like I'd created
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: something unique here and it had you know, I don't
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: get this. I mean, we can't do promotions or advertisements
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: in my group. Oh okay, it's not like Instagram, like
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: you could have a sponsored post. My group doesn't buy
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: stuff that's sponsored. They don't. I've tried it in the past,
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: so don't. Patrum was the only way I could create
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: a something for me to earn some money, which I've
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: put in six years now, and I wanted to earn
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: without doing ads.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I see, yeah.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: I'm open about that. I've done three years of it
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: and now we're starting our fourth season and I'm like,
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: I need to earn some money. I put in twenties.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: So are you starting? Are you going to start doing
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: that on your Facebook group?
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: Nope? The Patreon has been on the first year. Okay, No,
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: I push it through the group and I've got about
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: I think four hundred subscribers. Now great, not all, not
• 39:38

• 39:55
  Speaker 2: glad that I did give you a hug. When I
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: met you, I was so happy, and like we ran
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: into each other at Caesar's Forum, like in that little
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: like market area with restaurants and stuff like that, and
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: we're like, oh my gosh, and like everyone was running
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: to you.
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: It was so cool with Doug and.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: Megan, yes, a Doug and Melissa, I think Melissa from
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: Watch Happens Live.
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: Yes, And I remember going, oh my god, my first
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: Bravo websiting and you guys are like purps.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: Well, is there anything else that you want to share
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: before we wrap up? Anything else?
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: Facebook group?
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so my Instagram account. I'm gonna be posting there
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: some things at Queen of Bravo Con and then on
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: TikTok at Queen of Bravo Con and I doing more. Honestly,
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: I like TikTok better because I can get longer videos,
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: and Instagram I can only get like very short ones.
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: I don't know why, but I'm just not into the
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: Instagram life so much. I'm more into TikTok in the
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: Facebook so one hundred percent. You can follow me on
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: my personal account too on Facebook. Once you join the group,
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: you'll see the admins and I'm right there, and I
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: do post a lot of personal stuff about Bravo Khan.
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: I probably make my real friend sick how much I post. Well, well,
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: they are not real friends if they're sick of it. No,
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: that's right. Well, you know what, you'd be surprised. It's
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: kind of like crazy for six months, but but yeah,
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: otherwise that's kind of everything. I want to ask you, though,
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: are you going to be doing a show this year
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: or what are you doing?
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: Yes, I am actually working on it right now, Lisa,
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: Thanks for asking. I am trying to lock down my venue.
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: So hopefully by this Friday we'll have a venue and
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: my dates at least, and so I will definitely be
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: announcing something soon. It will probably be my Cabarety. Again,
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: I'll probably tweak the show a little bit. I'm going
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: to do it. I'm looking for a venue that's closer
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: to the strip because if you remember from last year,
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: that was I mean, I love Notoriety. I mean it
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: was a great venue, but it was in you know,
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: like old Vegas, so it was not easy to get to.
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: I think, don't you think it was difficult?
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: It was not far. It just was kind of a
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: break out of the Bravo Kan thing.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: It felt like more of a breakout. Yeah, exactly. So
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: I want to say, stay.
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: You'd probably do better if you could find something near
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: the strip. Yeah, you might not find on strip, but
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: off strip. We're still having a I do a kickoff
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: party for the big group every year and for me
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: to have hundreds of people is going to cause me
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: to have a huge contract like you would need one.
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: So I'm like, I'm thinking about going offstrip again too,
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: just because it's it is. You know, the off strip
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: places don't have big contracts as much. Just a little
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: business chat here, but it's a lot. Yeah.
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Well we should talk a little bit offline and
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: you know, maybe we can discuss some venues and stuff that.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: But I am so thrilled that you just have you
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: shine your light, you shine your Bravo light, and it's
