  Speaker 1: This is Teddy Teapot with Hi guys, Welcome to this
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: week's Teddy Teapot. One of your most request to guests
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: was dren Kinsley. Do you think they wanted to request
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: us because they wanted to see us getting along or
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: because they wanted to see us calling each other's eyes up.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: I feel like it's because there have been, um, you know,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: some social media posts where we've been together. People are like,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: wait a minute, what's happening, what's going on? We never
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: saw that, And I mean that's that's a big thing
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: that people never saw the good part of us. I know,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: it's true, like never, and we had a lot of
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: good times like Durt and I so many times were
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: up late yep, laughing, hysterical, like so much of that
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: that you never saw. But also yeah, we did. We
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: had some not so good times. We did. We did.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: They kind of trumped at times. But recently though, and
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: we'll get into it, I'm sure, Um it's changed. I know,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: you know, that's that's nice to be able to show
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: the world and talk about it. So what everyone's curious
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: about is like what did change? Like how did that happen?
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: So I can give my point of a new point
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: of people. You go first, okay, Well I get to
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: go first, okay. Um. In my opinion, I think that
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: you know, when we started out, when we first met
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: on the show, I felt an instant connection to you.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I just thought, this girl's cool. I mean, and and
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: you are. You're easy to talk to. You know, you're funny,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: you're quick, um, and I really relate to people like that.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: And then you know, the showing on and things happened
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: between us, unfortunate things, um, and then I felt like,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: you know, I kind of had my guard up a
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: little bit, and then you know, I could see through
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: all of that. Still there's a connection between us, and
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I really wanted to get to a place where we
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: could laugh. But unfortunately, you know, between the pressure of
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: the show or some other relationships. I'm not really sure
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: what it is. Things happened and it's unfortunate, and it
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: really drove a wedge between us, and I would say
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: from my point of view only until recently, since you've
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: not been on the show and we've connected outside the show,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I think it's the pressure. You don't have the pressure
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: of the show, and you and I have gotten back
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: to the way we started. Yeah, I know, and I
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: feel the same. And I think, you know, something that's
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: underlined with doing a show like Housewives is, you know,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: even though yes it's authentic, it's a real life. You know,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: there's pressure that you're making a show. And Doria and
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I are doers in general, so we don't want to
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: let anybody down. But the problem is in doing that,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: we would let each each other down because we were
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: trying to do the right thing, and you know, it
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: just got messy. And I have to say that like
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: where we really turned the corners when I moved over
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: over here and we're you know, we're neighbors now, honestly
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: three minutes away. Um uh. We went over to a
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: party at Kathy Hilton's and then after Dre came over
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: and I was like tipsy, but I like broke down
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: to her and I was like really like shed all
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: the layers and was just like telling her what I
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: was struggling with the parts that I was hurt and
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: all of that stuff, and like three was so kind
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: and like so caring and like I just felt like
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I could trust you and I really appreciated that. And
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: then since then it's like we have not skipped a
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: beat and we had such a fun night for the
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Fox Sports but my god one for the story books.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Like we going into that night, we had no idea
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: what was coming. No, none. I don't think any of
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: us expected to have that much fun now or to really,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: you know, all feel so vulnerable and to really connect
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: and to just be together and enjoy being together. Yeah,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: like when you're filming Housewives, the best time is always
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: the plan rides because they're they're not filmed, Yes, I know, seriously,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: And so it felt like, you know, at first it
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: kind of fall like that, but then it got it
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: got to the point where we were like should we
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: get a room? I know, I know, we didn't want
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: to leave. We did not what the lady was like,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: you have to go. We closed, We closed the bel
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Air Hotel. We closed it down. We didn't want to go,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: And like it just brought a different level I think
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: from everybody, don't you totally, Like everybody shared stuff I
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: have never even heard. I know, I know we can't
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: disclose some of the time, but um, but yeah, it
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: was a really intimate, um wholesome night. You know, we're
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: like just five friends got together, wholesome you dry home
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: to me wholesome, wholesome for us. But yes, I did.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I did. I mean that's what happens. I mean he
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: gave video and posted it first, so he did. And
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I'm like that, my god has got like this. He's
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: got like the trigger finger posting trigger finger. I'm like,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: what are you thinking. He's like what what? I'm like, no, no, no, no,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: take it down? He is. And Pique is so funny.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: It's always says that, like it is like he killed
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: me that night too. We we wanted music so badly.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: We put it on my phone and just turned it up,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: like yes, And I don't know that I can ever
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: walk into that hotel again. No, we can. I think.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: First of all, we were in the corner, like in
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: the corner that everybody walks by to their rooms and
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: they're like ladies tanting to take it down or not.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Y'all I remember is looking around and there was nobody,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: and there was like one waitress that wasn't even giving
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: us drinks anymore. I was like, where's my drink? She's like, no,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: we're closed. No, she goes, if you must, I'll give
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: you guys one to share. We're like, oh my god,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: we've been cut off. We've been cut off at the
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: bell Air. Oh my god. That was fun. All right.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Next question is what was our favorite trip together? We've
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: a trip together, you know, Um, we've had good moments
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: on their trips, but most of our trips together have
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: nothing have not been good. I would say Provence. Provence,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: we had so much fun. But I mean that was
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: really hard for me. In general. That next day after
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: the drunk day was really, I know, really tough. Um.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: I thought Provence was really fun. I thought after we
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: were done filming at the beach house was really fun. First,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah, we had a full dance already.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: We're like doing car wheels in the sand like that
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: was really fun. Um. But I don't know if that's
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: a trip though, I mean we it wasn't in our
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: homes are at a restaurant here, true. So like Provence
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: was definitely probably the best time we ever had while
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: doing Housewives. Yes, yeah, well you know it was. It
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: was the Fox four five. It came down that's where
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the Fox Force five name came from because because everybody
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: else was gone, I mean Denise and Camille, they couldn't
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: travel because of the fires in their houses and was
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: there supposed to be somebody else there or was it
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: just I love the selective memory? Right now, there was
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: someone that quit? Yes, that's right, that's right, that's right. Okay,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: that's what it is. Okay. See. No, Honestly, Teddy, I
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: like block things out. I literally deal with like what
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I have to deal with it in a given moment,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: and I like block out the rest. What would you
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: say our toughest time was, um? Our toughest time? Um? Goodness?
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: If you think about the trips that we were on
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: so Berlin, Provence and where else were we? Berlin, Provence, Bahamas, Bahamas? Right? Um? Well,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I didn't really know in the Bahamas, so you know
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I would say that, no, our toughest time. I mean,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know, Teddy. I feel like most of our
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: most of our tough times were not on the trips,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: so I wouldn't say it was a trip. Um. You know,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: we've had some really rough moments. I've left feeling as
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you have, just really really down in the
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: dumps and crummy and horrible and feeling like how did
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: you and I get here? You know, I don't really
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: understand it, um so, but yeah, I can't think of
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: a specific trip that was so bad, and the looming
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: question that, of course everyone has to ask about us
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: late Gate. They want to know what actually happened. Okay,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: now I'm going to tell the story as it is,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: and then you can tell your version. And this is
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: as God is my witness. And I've never shared this,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: but I promise you hand on my heart, and I
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: will admit it right now. But this is the truth.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: I was in a meeting, a business meeting for Beverly Beach,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: and I told production. I said, listen, I can't make
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: it for the four o'clock. They wanted us to have coffee,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: um and get together, and I said, I can't make
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: it for the four o'clock. I've got this meeting. It's
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: super important. It's a big design meeting so on. And
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: they really wanted us to get together, which I understand.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: We were new friends. UM. So I said I can't
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: make it for They said, can you make it for thirty?
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: I said I can, but I might be a little late.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: It's no problem whatsoever. It's totally fine. It's okay. So
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: my time was supposed to be from at four thirty.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Now I didn't know how long we were going until
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: I thought it was super casual. We go, we get together,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: we have a chat. I'm in the meeting, and it
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: goes late, as I suspected. And when I left the meeting,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: it was four thirty and I called you in the
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: car and I was like, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I'm late. And I remember you saying something on the
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: phone like you know, I'm about to leave, and I
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: thought to myself, my goodness, you know I'm fifteen minutes late.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: We're in California. For crying out loud, Okay, I'll be
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: twenty five minutes, like you know, I'm sorry, but I
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: figured you were told she might be late. And then
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: I get there and then I understand, oh no, we
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: never end up meeting. Yeah, I was right, but afterwards
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: you said I was an hour late, and that really
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: threw me into a tizzy because I was like, obviously,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: I was not an hour late. I know, but I
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: couldn't even say really because we were breaking the fourth
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: wall break I was told four. So I was there,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: you know, like I am three fifty five and sitting
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: there and you have to realize that I'm new to
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: the show, so I don't really know what happens, and
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: in real life, if it's four o'clock and somebody's not
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: there by, you know, you leave, like you're like okay,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: you know. So I was like I was looking up
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: at production and I'm like, what do I do? Guys?
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: And you know, I'm feeling uncomfortable because I'm like been
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: sitting there and like nursing that wine. I mean, you've
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: seen the scene a thousand times of new looking at
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: my phone like the most awkward human alive, and they're like,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: what would you normally do? Teddy? You know when you
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: get that tone like what would you do? Don't ask us?
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: And I was like, well, I've got And then that's
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: when I left. I thought that would never be used,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: like this scene was done because it didn't happen. And
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: then I was filming with it was either Kyle or
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: LVP the next day I can't remember who, and they
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: were and they brought it up on camera and I'm like, oh, no,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: this is this is happening and I'm like, well no,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: I mean that's because she goes Dree said you left
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: because you were only she was only ten minutes late,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: and I'm like no, she's forty five minutes. Like, so
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: that's really how it all like spiral. So so even
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: though the drama is a real because it's happening, sometimes
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: it's like we can't fully explain right why it's drama, right,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: and that was why right and different called times like
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: and then we got to a place where like we
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: thought we were fine, like we would recap at the
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: end of the night, do this, and then all of
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: a sudden we'd watch an episode and realized like, no,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: this is bad. Yeah, I know, I know things can
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: be well. I mean that's welcome to the world of
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: reality television. I mean we all learn it the hard way,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: you know. And when we first start, that was one
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: of those situations that was a tiny little thing that
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: blew up into a big thing. But you know what,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: it made so much of that season and then people thought,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: i mean, listen, you came out something like Roses after that.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm the one it was like, oh, dare
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: should be an hour late in the area. I'm like,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: this is such fucking bullshit, you know, But but I
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: took it. I took it on the chin. I keep saying,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: you know what, I'm not gonna throw production under the bus.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Even though doing that now fine years later, but it's
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: years later. And you know what, I think, even with
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: regards to production, it wasn't even their fault because I
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: think it was like an admin problem. Yeah, there were
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: so many people in communication. I I don't think that
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: it don't I don't think it was done deliberately. But
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: they were thrilled when it happened. Oh god, yeah, oh yeah. Oh,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: we have a caller that came in. Uh, Briana, what
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: do you got for us? Hi? So my question might
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: be mostly for Deret, but I just wanted to know
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: how you guys were getting along with Crystal and how
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: you're getting along with Kathy this season. Um. Well, I
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: love Kathy. I've known Kathy for about five years. Her
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: and I have a lot of mutual friends, so I've
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: seen her a lot over the last few years, and
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: she's a barrel of lass. I mean, I just love
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: that woman, and I'm so glad that the world is
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: going to be able to see the Kathy that I've seen.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: It was hysterical Crystal. Um. I like Crystal a lot.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: You know, I found it very easy to uh to
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: talk to her, to meet her. We connected very quickly. Um,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: I've enjoyed her. I think, you know, much like everyone
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: that starts on the show for the first time in
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: the first year, it's difficult and you have to find
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: your feet. But I think that she's she's a lot
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: of fun, and she's down to earth and she's got
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: a great personality. So I'm enjoying her. Great. That's awesome.

• 14:07
  Speaker 1: have a question. First of all, I just want to
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: say that I never watched any reality TV before, but
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: then I kind of ran out of things, like a
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: lot of people in the pandemic, and so I started
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: house Lives, and so I just wanted to tell each
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: of you thank you, first of all, because I felt
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: like a lot of times when I was just at
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: home alone watching your show, that I was part of
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: your family. Kind of weird how reality TV has that
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: escape of them, So thank you for that. I really
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: appreciate that one. You know, my question is mainly for
• 14:34

• 15:03
  Speaker 1: kids and my husband, you know, just little dance videos
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: in the pandemic, and I thought it was a lot
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: of fun. And then obviously, um, you know, with my
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: my glam team, we've talked about different recreating different tiktoks
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: and I've had a lot of fun in it as
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: far as putting the looks together. You know, it's something
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: that I love to do. It's um it's cathartic for me.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: And usually when the kids go to sleep, I'll go
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: into my closet and play a little bit and then
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: put together looks. And really, depending on how I feel
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: in my mood that day, um, I tweaked the looks,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: you know, so I might be in a you know,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: a more glam uh state of mind or I might
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: feel more edgy, um, you know, low key down downplay it.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: But I think as far as putting them together, it's
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: really just a creative process for me that I enjoy
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: and it's it's mostly me and then of course the
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: whole look comes in once I've chosen the outfit. Um,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: you know, I'll talk to my glam team and we'll
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: figure out like what's a great hairstyle or the direction
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: of the makeup. Um, I've got a great girl that
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: does some shopping for me, and she weighs in on
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: the looks too from time to time, so it's it's
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: a nice collaboration. But I really it's something that I
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: have full control over because I'm a control freak when
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: it comes to fast She's not telling you, it's actually
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: me sending her those looks as my priority list. Oh
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: my gosh, thanks for calling in. All right, we have
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: one more caller, Hannah. Hi, Hi, So my coach, My
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: question is directed towards Teddy. I know you've been taking
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: a little more time for yourself this season and not
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: on the show as much. How are you adjusting to
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: that and how is how are you spending your new
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: free time? You know, at first, it was really challenging.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: You know, it's like anything when you spend so much
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: time dedicated to something for over you know, three years,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: five six days a week, and then it stops abruptly
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden. You're like, what am I supposed
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: to do with myself in my life? And you know,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: but luckily I you know, and one of the things
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: that I wish was shown more in the show is
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: I have a really full life, Like I have amazing children,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: it's such a fun husband, My business is doing great,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: like all of these things. So and because it was
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: during COVID, I really needed to actually be there for
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: them this year. And like, even though it was tough,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: and I gotta be honest, my ego was bruised, Like
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: it's you know, it's a little bit of a like
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: a reality check that you know, like nothing lasts forever.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: But it also made me appreciate like all the fun
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: times that I did have on the show. But also,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: you know what some of the stuff I don't miss,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: you know, like I don't miss waking up with that
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: like raging anxiety that like that happens after you're watching
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: somebody either be pummeled or getting pum or whatever it
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: may be. Like that doesn't naturally make you feel good
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: when you wake up, and we all struggle with it.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: We all know we're you know, and you know, I
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: missed the cast and the crew and everybody, but I
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: I really feel like I needed to be there for
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: my family had a baby, like all these things like,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: and it just I was in a different coming. You've
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: got a lot going on and you know, so there
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: hasn't really been much free time, but it's it's been nice.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: And you know, the truth is the people that I'm
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: close with on the show, we're still hanging out and
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: we're still talking, so there's not like a huge void.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: And the same goes with the producers, like the ones
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: that I'm closed, but I still talk to you, you know.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: So it is what it is. But um, thank you
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: so much for calling in. We have to take a
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: quick break and then we'll come back and answer more
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: listener questions. All right, now that we're back from the break,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: we're gonna have to talk about something that we neither
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: of us want to talk about. But I don't have
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: a choice because I put it on the Instagram and
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: I say, what do you want to talk about and
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: guess what they want to know about. Let me guess.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: So they want to know apparently you were recently which
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: I know that because we texted about it, but recently
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: at Mr Chow for Robert at Earl's birthday. Yes, did
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: you and Lisa talk? We did not say a word
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: to one another. Um, you know, luckily there was about
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: a hundred people there. Um. She knew I was there.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: I knew she was there, and we never made eye contact.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: We never went up to one another. I didn't plan
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: to go up to her. She's made a position very
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: very clear, um, and that's been you know, outside of publicly,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: how she talks about us, even intimately to our friends.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: You know, how she feels about p K and I
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: and how she is really not interested in a friendship.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: And that's all I need to know. I mean, I
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: would have loved for things us to have been able
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: to find a way to rekindle a friendship or to
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: move past any any animosity, because I am that type
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: of person. I don't like confrontation, and I can have
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: the biggest blow up with somebody, but if they want
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: to make things work and they want to try and
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: move past it, I can go in wholeheartedly. That's want
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: to do it and put and put it behind. And
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: I would have done that with Lisa, but it's not
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: what she wants to do, and she's very very clear
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: about it, so I don't need to try with her anymore.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: The part that's a little bit confusing to me about
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Lisa is she's repeatedly acts like The Housewives is like,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: but she's always talking about it always. And Kyle was
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: on the podcast and you listen to it a couple
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: of weeks ago where we talked about the Bill thing
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: and then the picture. Then all of a sudden, I'm like,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: you know Bryce Sander firm Et, I'm watching his video
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: and it's Lisa responding to what Kyle said, but Kyle
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: didn't actually say what she said. She goes Kyle said
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: it was a child with the paparazzi pictures. No, she
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: didn't know, so to quit try like you're always and
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: that was always my problem. It's like you're always switching
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: the narrative to make yourself look good. We're like, sometimes
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: in life you're not gonna look good and sometimes in
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: life you're going to make mistakes. And you know what,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: it's okay, to say I missed that show, but I
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: felt wronged and I'm done or whatever it may be.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: But she just won't ever cop to anything, which I
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: think is the problem. Like, yeah, ideally what I love
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: to be talking about the housewives every week? No, but
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: do I still love you guys and want to support
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: you a yes. So it's like, if you're truly going
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: to move on and yes we are talking about it,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: you have to actually be authentic to what what you're thinking,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: like if you want to still be immersed in the
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: drama or do you just want everybody to like come
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: at other people? That's really the goal, you know. The
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: thing that I find particularly childish is that, um, you know,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: with this pap Rossi shot when she exed out all
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: of our faces. I mean she thinks it's humorous, like
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: sending the bill to the producer her, you know, and
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: leaving and saying, you know, buy me dinner. These are
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: very humorous to her. Um, they're not so funny. And
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: it's very childish, and it I mean, you obviously haven't
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: let go of anything. It's being passive aggressive. Yeah, and
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: she's still holding onto something and what is this apology
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: that she's waiting for I don't really understand. And I
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: mean we've done all of the appault, like I mean,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: we even center something over for her birthday, like we've
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: done things. But I just it's confusing to me if
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: if it is so beneath her, why are we still
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: talking about it. I think with Lisa, if she doesn't
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: have control over a person or a friendship or relationship
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: or the narrative, then it doesn't work for her. And
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: that's ultimately what ended up happening with the dog situation
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: was she thought she had the narrative a d and
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: then she lost control of the situation because I went
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: off her script and told to read and then all
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: of a sudden she was furious because she know she
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: was found out. But I mean, it could have easily
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: been resolved. But we don't even need to get into
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: all that. But that like when things are twisted, you know.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: And and the thing about Lisa and I find and
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: and I don't want to sit here and talk badly
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: about her because truthfully, she's not part of my life.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: I'm not interested in anything that she does or says.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: If she does anything to hurt me or the family,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: obviously I would say something back. But truthfully, when I
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: hear these things that that she says, even to friends
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: of ours, about us, I mean, I laugh, I feel bad.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, well you know what. Unfortunately it's still
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: burning a hole inside of her me. You're done, yeah,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: You're like, we will answer the questions, but I don't.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: People always say, would you ever like forgive her what
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: I've forgiven her? I don't. I don't care, but I
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: have to talk about it if people are asking, But
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: I'm not. I don't have a fire burning to like
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: rebuild that friendship because for me, I never really had
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: it right. It was like I was hurt a little
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: pet right right, No, I think I used to torture
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: you exactly, thank you. Um, but no, that's it's true.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: And even we went to this party and I had
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: no expectations because I really, truly I believed that Lisa
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: and I had a great friendship. Pique and I would
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: have dinner with Lisa and Ken at least once a month.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: We we we had a lot of laughs together. Um.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: I really felt like she was my friend. I felt
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: like we had a genuine friendship. And then when I
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: realized that the friendship wasn't really what I what I
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: thought it was for me. I just thought, okay, well
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: then I don't need this friendship. But then, you know,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: for the sake of we have a lot of mutual
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: friends and we were on the show, you know, um
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: together at the time, I thought, you know what, let
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: me just try. Let by Guns be by Guns. I
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: apologized to her, I asked her to move on. I've tried.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: She's made it very clear she wants nothing to do
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: with us. For some reason. She thinks I did something
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: to her, which I don't really understand that. I can't,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: for the life of me wrap my head and around you.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: But but it's okay. I feel like I'm I'm free
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: of some toxic energy that I really don't need in
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: my life. Well, speaking of toxic energy, who did you
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: have the hardest time getting along with this year? This year? Um?
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: You know, I, like everybody on the show, I have
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: to get an answer. I didn't finish. Um, No, I do.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: I like everybody on the show. UM. I found there
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: was somebody this year, uh that treated me very differently
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: than they did last year. Um. And there was definitely
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: a moment where I felt like I had to defend myself.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: I can't give you too much, Teddy. You know the drill,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: and I don't really want to you know. Next thing,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: you know, it's um fishing for more information. You got
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: to watch the show. There's a carcel. Why would you
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: say that? It's just my guess, because I mean, you
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: guys have to watch the show. But when I was on,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: I noticed some things in regards to myself as well.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: A ship. Yeah, there was a shift. There was a shift.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: There was a shift. Um. And then who is your
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: favorite housewife? These are not my words, y'all. Who is
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: your favorite? My favorite? I don't have a favorite. I
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: have favorites. Um. You know, Kyle and Guy bicker find
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: out a lot. Am I supposed to be honest or not? Yes,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: okay honest. I love Kyle, I love Brenna, I love Erica.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: I'm the closest to those three. I've also known them
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: the longest. Um, Kyle and I have. Our friendship has
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: grown even stronger. We traveled together. Um. You know, I
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: trust her. You know she's one of the people that
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: I talked to so freely and openly. Um. I love Erica.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Eric is more guarded. I have a very different relationship
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: with Erica. Than I do with Kyle and Lisa Arenna,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: you know the same I feel. You know, I've got
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: a great relationship in history, and I trust to her
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: and I have so much fun with her, So I mean,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: I love them. What do you miss most about not
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: having me on the show? Absolutely nothing, Teddy. I'll tell you,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: if I could have this with you on the show,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: it would be amazing. It would be amazing. But because
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: I never had that, you know, I'm now most protective
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: of what we have. I enjoy our time together. I
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: enjoy this relationship that's blossoming. I wouldn't want it to
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: be ruined, genuinely, you know. And it's a shame because, um,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: we have a lot of fun together and we laugh
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: a lot. I mean, you're funny. You are funny, and
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: you're somebody that, um, you know, I can banter with,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: you know, joke around with. But you've also you've got
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: a great heart. You're a great mom, you know, and
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: I can tell you can be a very very good friend.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: I would like to be able to experience that and
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: not have you know all the of all the things
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: you know and that and that's the truth. It puts
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: that it switches the dynamic. And when you are in
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: the moment doing a show like that and you know
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: that somebody has to do something or you've just wasted
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: your entire day, life, week, whatever, it adds to that dynamic.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: And there are some people that will give in and
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: do it and there's some people that won't. Yes, And
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: you know, my biggest regret from being on the show
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: is I wish there were times where I would have
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: just withheld nothink that's your nature, but it's not. It's not.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: You're by nature I have. You know, I'm I'm a
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: doer like in general, like and I you'll speak your mind.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: I speak my mind. But I mean there are things
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: that like my last season, I wish I you know,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: I just would have let let it be and I
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: wish you would have seen other stuff. But you know,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: you know it is what it is. But you sure
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: of the show. You know, just just to add to
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: that quickly, the nature the show and the thing about
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: it is it is reality and you have, you know,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: eight successful, independent, strong women, and there's bound to be confrontation.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: But sometimes you know you're shooting for five six months,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: four or five months, whatever it is, and you know,
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: whatever little tiny tension there is. It needs to be
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: kind of accelerated. So what you would take maybe six
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: months to kind of drag out and then you kind
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: of get right to the point. So if someone rubs
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: you the wrong way, you're very forthcoming and you have
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: to be like, okay, listen, I didn't like that. And
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: you have somebody dedicated, like there's a camera on your face.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: You have someone dedicated to your emotions, so like if
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: they see something happen, they are on it, like they know.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: And then it's like you can feel the camera getting
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: like close and hot, and like like the scene where
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: we were sun where she called me boring and like, uh,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: you know something about me having this you know? Oh
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: and even worse, you're pregnant, you know. Whatever I was,
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: it's just emotional. And but then that that pressure of
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: the heat and the light and all that, you just
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: I just crumble. I know, I know, and I and
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: in that moment, I remember looking up and You're looking
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: at me like you got this, well, get it get gonn.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Oh my god. I'm such an EmPATH. Every time I
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: see somebody, if somebody hurts or I see that they're
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: hurting or they're sad, or they're crying. I don't know
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: what it is. I just want to go and help them,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: save them, you know, give them a hub. It's hard.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: So I have a question. Um. Last week, Crystal shared
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: that she had a warrant out for her arrest and
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Arizona and that shop picked up like everybody people, all
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: these different magazines picked it up. And you know, it's
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: a long, crazy story when she was younger, and it's
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: not even a big deal, but hilarious. Do you have
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: any scandal you'd like to share with us here? Um no,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: I've got no warrant up from my arrest. Um No,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: I can't think of anything salacious enough. But didn't you
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: run away? Once? I did? I was like fourteen years old,
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: you know, to read the Runaway. I never actually got
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: a chance to run away. I got a caught. I
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: got caught by my parents. I had like the Deffel
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: back And when I told this story, I don't know
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: what they showed or didn't show, but um yeah, I
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: was fourteen. I thought I knew it all and I
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: was ready to go, you know, live in Manhattan with
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: my girlfriend and you know, start a new life. But
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: my parents caught me. So have you gotten any whiff
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: of the Brian Moyland book. A lot of people are
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: asking about how true it was. So like certain things
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: that were said which I can confirm our hundred percent
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: false was we only got episodes if we blogged, and
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: we got paid to blog. I'm like, what both are
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: completely false? Well, I just want to say. You know
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: that guy which I had never heard his name. I
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: know he co wrote Eric because book, but um, he
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: actually came out with this ridicul here less lie about
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: p K nine Um Peku was traveling in London for
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: work and he sat in some podcast and he told, well,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: they're separating, they're headed towards divorce. Pek is living in
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: some friends guesthouse. I mean like when I mean flat
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: out made up some big lie. And I remember turning
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: around to Peak and saying, Pik, how on earth can
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: someone get away with this? How can they just lie
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: so blatantly? It gets picked up people actually believe that
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: they remember how can they even sleep at night? And
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: I remember Peak and I were together like for Valentine's Day,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: This was like days after right, And I said, well,
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: I mean so much for this? Can b s headline
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: about us heading towards divorce, you know when we're filming. Yeah,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: you know its Valentine's Day, were together. But I can't
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: really understand how people get away with this with with
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: just complete flat out live. I'm like, you wrote a book,
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: but like, where are you getting this info? Because I
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: can confirm there's no Housewives that will ever say that
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: that's true, because it is not like you have to
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: get the episodes the day or two before, because they
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: you know, they at least prep us a little bit
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: and then we can tweet and do all those types
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: of things. But it's not contingent of one another. That's
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: just the policy. Also that he said that he alluded
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: to the fact that my business was created by Bravo,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: and I was like, one, he's always had it out
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: for me too, like just and me apparent, Yeah, And
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: you know, I always in backed my mind, I was like,
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: maybe it was because like I had Eric and I
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: had issues the first season and he was writing her
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: book and he was but then it never stopped. And
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: even once Eric and I got close to like, I
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: guess I didn't have any issue with Erica and he
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: just really don't even know who who is he? Like,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: what is this, you know, I know he I don't know.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: But we met him at Bravo Colon, did we? Yes?
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: But mine now because I was like, they didn't make
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: a very good super super No, he was super friendly
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: at Bravoclon which that also I don't laugh. You know
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: why you're gonna talk mad crap? Just being asked, Oh
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: my god, totally like honestly, give me the stink. Oh so,
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: how can you trust someone like that? And how do
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: people go on and continue to believe what a person
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: says when things have been proven that whatever they're saying
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: it's just not true, Like don't you question what comes
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: out of his mouth at that point? Yeah, you're like,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: I don't get it. I don't get it, or they
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: just I think what you know, people want to believe
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: what they want to believe. And if someone's there prepared to,
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: you know, say things that, um that aren't true and
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: no one's going to contradict them, then But how do
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: you write a book about it? Was there any fact checking?
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying? How how is that possible? Because
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: I know there's I think there's another one that's coming out.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know if we're even a lot of talk
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: about it, but I know that, like we were asked
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: questions for the other one, but not we weren't interviewed
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: by him. No, that's a different book. That's my point.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: So we there was something that we talked about that
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen come out yet, right saying, but where
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: we were interviewed. So I'm like, so where are you
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: getting your info? But because whatever, consider the source, everyone,
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: please consider it the source. So now we're gonna get
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: into marriage talk treat. What did you and Pek meat?
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: Was it love at first sight? Um? Peak and I
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: met in New York City two thousand and eleven. It
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: was not love at first sight, um, but there was
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: banter and there was chemistry. And we actually didn't go
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: on our first date for like two months, but we
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: had gone out in a group of friends. In fact,
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: when I met him, we realized that we had a
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: lot of mutual friends. So the first time we went
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: out together, we were with a few different friends about
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: and we were as we were friends. I mean, I
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: looked at him and I thought, Okay, here's a guy
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: who's um separated three children. Um, I mean he had
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: a mountain of yeah, a mountain of red flags. A
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: mountain of luggage. Baggage, not luggage baggage, luggage amountain of baggage.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, there was not It was not the type
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: of guy I ever thought I would see myself with.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: But there was very clear chemistry and banter, and then
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: he asked me out. We went on our first official date.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: We went to see The Jersey Boys in New York City,
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: and I have to tell you, after that time, we
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: were alone. We were inseparable ever since you're done, You're
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: done for my perst sign Field delivered. What do you
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: think the best part that the show has done for
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: your marriage? In the worst part? Well, you know this.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: The show is actually strengthened my marriage and at the
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: same time has made things very difficult between Peak and I,
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: particularly when I'm filming. Um, it's really hard for him,
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: you know, and and it's hard for me by extension,
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: because Peak is used to me being around all the time.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: I don't really like go out with my girlfriends every week,
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: you know. I tend to go out with my husband.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: Were always together, That's the way it's always been, Teddy.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: I mean ten years were together, almost ten years, and
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: we we live our lives together. We traveled together. So
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: while I'm doing the show, as you know, there are
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: lunches and dinners and parties and various things. Even when
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: I'm filming and I'm not filming with him, that I'm
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: not with him, and that is hard for him because
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: he wants me with him. So it took, um, you know,
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: year after year after year, me saying to him every
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: time I'm about to start filming, p K, you know,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: I don't need to do this. My marriage is more
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: important to me. Our relationship is far more important to me. Um.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: But he's you know, he supported me and encouraged me
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: to do it. And so year after year I have
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: to go through those really uncomfortable a few months where
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: he feels like he's ostracized, you know, and marginalized and
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: all of those things. And and then I spend the
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: next six months after that reassured. How how radio is
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: I think, because that's the thing with you know, Edwin
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: as well, like he likes to be taking care of
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: a bit like or feeling like that importance in our lives.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: And when you when you wake up filled with like
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: whatever you have to do for the day, and you
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: know you have to do three different things and change
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: and do this. You are like on the go yes
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: and it's impossible. And then they're like, hey, can you
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: can you do this dinner tonight with this business person
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, I've been you know, we were filming
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: for eight hours. No, I don't want to go talk
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: to a stranger like I'm exhausted. And then they take
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: it personally. So that was the hardest part from you too.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: But the best part was my first season. I saw
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: I was nagging my husband a lot, and I was like,
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: I have to reel it and wow. I was like wow,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: I am non stuff Like I'm like, come on, look
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: and I was like, cheddy, let's uh, let's let's pull
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: this together. Did you change? I didn't. I nag less
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: now okay, and we have like a better We wake
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: up in the morning and we talked about our days.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: We set the expectations, like today I had a bunch
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: of podcasts and stuff and I'm like, honey, you know
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: this morning we wake up and I'm like, can you
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: do me a favor and please to take the kids
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: to school? Like I am on all day and I
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: know you are too, but like I will feel frantic
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: having to rush back and try to get on the
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: you know wells this podcast and he's like, of course,
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: but you know, but before I don't think i'd communicate,
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: and then I'd be mad that he'd feel it. Yeah right,
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: I know they're supposed to be mind readers. Yeah. So
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: I realized the communication is so much better, and I
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: thank the show for that. All Right? If p K
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: asked you to move back to London, would you no?
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Now we've talked about it, and luckily I don't think
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: he does either. Um. I think we'll stay in America
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: hopefully at some point. I mean it would be nice.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: We do travel back and forth London enough so we
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: see his family, but I don't even think he wants
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: to live there full time. So do you think l
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: A is where you'll continue to stay? I don't know.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Um. I think during COVID we really
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: thought do we want to be here? Where do we
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: want to be? Um? You know, I'm tied to l
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: A right now because of the show, and I feel
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: like until I decide or they decide that I'm not
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: doing it, you know, and then the options are open.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: I think it's nice. I'm a New Yorker. I love
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: I love New York so much, but now having kids,
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: I think it's easier, you know, for them in California.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: But I don't know. I feel like I could live
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: outside of California. I'm just not sure where. Yeah, so
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: you're open, You're open. So shifting over to mother her
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: motherhood my favorite topic, Jaggie, Jaggy Jaggy, Um, do you
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: is there anything about having the kids on the show
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: that makes you nervous? Like you and I are similar
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: in the fact that we have our kids on Instagram
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: because it's so they're so such a big part of
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: my life. I couldn't imagine not And same with the
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: show totally, like I was bummed when you know, I
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: would be like, oh, we did that together and they
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: never showed the kids or you know, because I hate
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: it takes away from what actually happened. Totally, totally. No,
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: I fold so much with the kids. And you know,
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: when I first started the show, Teddy Jagger was not
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: talking and Phoenix, um, I was just fitting her for
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: a helmet, and I was so nervous. I was so
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: nervous to bring the kids on the show for very
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: obvious since. And I remember sitting down with producers, and
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: I said, I really haven't decided whether or not I
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: want to show my kids or whether I just don't
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: want to, you know, I don't want to impose this
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: on them. Plus I'm going through these various things. And
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: the producer said, listen, naturally, um, you know people will
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: be able to relate to this because there are other
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: mothers that are going through these struggles. And I thought,
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: you know what, that's right, and so I I bore
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: it all and I put it all out there almost
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: a little bit too much a season to be honest
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: with you. Um, But and I think you know since
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: then and really that decision no matter what, at the
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: end of the day, we're all moms. We all go
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: through similar things. Our kids are gonna misbehave. Our kids
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: are you know, are needy, they need us, they love us,
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: They're funny, they're too all of the things. It's my
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: most um, it's my my happiest time is when I'm
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: with them. It's the thing I'm most proud of. And
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: so of course they're going to be on the show
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: with me, because you would not see a full version
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: of me without them, without my kids and my husband.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: Which brings me to The next question, which a lot
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: of people are asking me about how you shared it all,
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: what is the best advice that you could give to
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: a mom who was struggling with a child speaking. Oh
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: my goodness, UM, I think that you have to get
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: them evaluated. I thought that that was something that UM.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: It was suggested by my pediatrician to have him to
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: have Jagger evaluated by developmental pedio. What age did you
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: do that? Well, Jagger didn't talk. He wasn't talking. I
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: mean it was after two years old, so between two
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: and two and a half years old, and I still
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: hadn't heard mama, UM. And so I did that at first.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: In fact, I made a mistake. Uh. Someone had said
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: to put him in speech therapy and I did. This
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: is before I had him evaluated, and a couple of
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: months had passed and there was no progress. And so
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: I spoke to the speech therapist and I had said,
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: you know, I really I'm not seeing any progress. Can
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: you give me any indication what's going on? And she
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: had a really negative response to me that really sent
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: me into a tissy, gave me a panic attack. She
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: was um said something like, you know, he has to
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: be here all the time. I'm not saying he'll you know,
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: he'll ever speak in his lifetime. That's entirely up to
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: him when you tell him, mother that right, and there's
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: no basis or bearing. I mean, I'll never forget. I
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: was in the car. I was having a panic attack,
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: fully crying. Jagger, the little baby was in the car
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: seat in the back, and my husband was in Vegas
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: with his son for his twenty one birthday, so it
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: was unreachable. And I called my pediatrician, who my love
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: was just recently retired, and I said, you know, I
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: was crying. I said, I don't know what to do it.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know and he said to let's get him
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: evaluated by the developmental pediatrician, which I did immediately, UM,
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: just to make sure and see that, you know what
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: if if there was any big concerns. And we did that.
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: Um he came out year. But they had said, you
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: know some people that they just they're delayed, and I
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: believe he'll talk when he wants. There was the assumption
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: that he had something called dyspraxia a praxia. Dyspraxia where
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: the signal um of the brain doesn't fire a signal
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: quick enough to the mouth. But he was so young
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: that they thought, as he gets older, we'll understand whether
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: or not he does or doesn't have this, but we
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: think this is what it could be. And the best
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: thing that you could do is bring him to speech therapy,
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: which I found a homeopathic speech therapist who was unbelievable.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: She connected with Jagger, she did wonders with him, and
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: really just like that, I mean, he started to speak
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: and then I mean, you know, and now he's a
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: chatter box, and like he calls you on stuff too,
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: like he there over for a play date, which you
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: guys were also asking, like our crews and Jaggers still friends. Yes,
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: they are hilarious because they both are little comedians. Yes,
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: so they think they're adults. Yes, they have are very opinionated.
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: I wonder where to get all of these I wonder,
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: it's I mean, I wonder. I mean, but I think
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: a big part of being a parent is like you
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: just have to consistently be an advocate for your kids.
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: Like I had somebody after does neurosurgery that came over
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: and was doing physical therapy with Dov and and she
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: said something and it really hurt my feeling. She said,
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: you know, with her deformity, and granted that maybe what
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: it's considered, but I didn't want this, and she kept
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: saying it, and it's okay to say to somebody and I,
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: you know, actually the show ended up, you know, helping
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: me do this. But it's okay to say to people,
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: you know what, I don't like that that actually really
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: bothers me. Can you can you do me a favorite?
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: Just you don't need to say that because you just
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: keep repeating it. And she kept doing it, and I
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: was like, listen, it's not gonna work for me anymore
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: because you're not able to have that empathy to what
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: we're all going through. And she had neurosurgery and she
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: did all of these things, and we're going through a
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: really tough time and like I, I just can't with
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: this energy. And then I found somebody that was excellent. Yeah,
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: And so it's okay to realize that somebody is not
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: the right fit and when they're not a right fit
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: to change it. You don't have to go through that
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: additional stress and pressure. And you know that one of
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: the things that they had told me this is just
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: for the moms that are struggling with it. Um even
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: in speech therapy. I mean they're only there for an hour.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: And what was really important and what I did consistently
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: with Jagger was I would he would point, and before
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: that I would grab what he needed. Because I had
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: such a connection with Jagger, I knew what in united
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: at the moment. But that was the worst thing I
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: could do because I needed to help him find the words.
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: So your point and I would repeat the word and
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: repeat the word and repeat the word. You have to
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: bring whatever you're learning, whatever they're doing in speech there,
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: we bring it home. Work with them constantly mentioned the word.
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: Don't let them point and get they have to they
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: have to be able. You have to teach them that
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: communication is helpful. We'll get them what they want. So
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: that helped us a lot. That's a really good tip.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: By the way, now I need to make sure that
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: I'm doing that with Dove. I'm like, okay, good noted. Yes, Um,
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: do you want more babies? I mean, listen, I love babies.
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: I love babies. I love my babies. If I had
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: started younger, I feel like I probably would have gone
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: on to have more. Um, we do have five collectively,
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: so you have a lot three of them are older. Um,
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: but I think that should have sailed. You know, one
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: of my best girlfriends just had a baby and it's
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: so nice because he's my godson and I'm obsessed with him,
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: and so it kind of seeds that baby bug. And
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: then you know, when I see Lovely Dove boss baby
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: back up, I know eventually she's gonna be like all
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: about me. You know, I'm gonna yeah, she's it's gonna
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: be like how slat and it's like what's that? Who's
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: you know, like I can't. We have to take a
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: little break and we'll come back and finish up with
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: a couple of questions. All right, last kid question, and
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: then we'll go into life just lifestyle general. How was
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: homeschooling kids during the pandemic for you? Horrible? Beyond horrible.
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: You know, Jagger was six years old, Phoenix was for uh,
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: they had a good few months where we had zooms
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: every day. It was really hard and I felt so
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: bad for them too, because try and get a six
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: year old to sit there, you know, at the table,
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: focused on a screen, trying to participate, you know, the
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: raising the hand. It was just and the teachers who
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: were really just figuring it out to I know, some
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: of the teachers didn't even know how to like do
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: the zooms effort. Yes, it was mayhem. Um. I knew
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: right off the bat that that wasn't really gonna work,
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: not certainly, not in um you know, um in them
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: learning in the way they should. Um. I had an
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: opportunity where a teacher that had worked with Jagger at
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: intimated that she would work for me full time. And
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: I took that opportunity and the kids were home school
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: this year with a teacher, and it was the best
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: thing I ever did. Obviously, I feel very grateful for
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: being fortunate enough to be able to do it. Um.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: And I you know, my heart goes out to the
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: moms that had to continue doing zooms before the school's
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: opened up. But yeah, that was really a challenge, Yeah,
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: I I for me, it was also a challenge. I
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: mean there was a point where like CRUs cut his
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: own hair, like he and they had like craft scissors,
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: you know, the like supposedly the kids proof. But all
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: of a sudden he comes in and he had taken
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: scissors and cut like to his scalps. That's why, all
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: of a sudden you had this like complete buzz cut.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: That was like he was bald. I'm like, dude, of
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: all the thing. And then I like, you know, the teacher,
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, by chance, did you see this? She goes,
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: I was wondering where he went. He turned off his
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: video for ten minutes. Uh yeah, doesn't that be like
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: texting the mom or something? But that the crazy part
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: is like during the pandemic with you know, working moms
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: all these whether you're working or not, even just having
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: more than one child, you're not going to be sitting
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: in the room with them the entire time. So like
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: kids are smart, Like they learned how to like toggle
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: between their zoom class and like YouTube videos. Like I
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: had to like really learn how to like turn off
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: parental turn on parental controls to like make sure that
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: they were you know, figuring it out. But luckily there,
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: you know, my kids went back to school in person,
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: but it's completely different now, you know, like they're in
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: mass they can't you know, it's it's a lot, but
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: they were so thrilled just because they didn't have a teacher.
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: They had me, and like I barely got through kindergarten myself,
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: so some challenges, you know, plays math for sure, that's
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: over my head. So you know, no, it was. It
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: was It was very It was challenging, and it was difficult,
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: and they do that age. They do need to be
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: like looked after. You can't just trust that. I couldn't
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: trust that Jagger and Phoenix were just sitting there and
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: they were okay, and if I wasn't there or somebody
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: wasn't there with them, then they just drifted. You know it.
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: Kids are different. Um. I feel like luckily I had
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: this teacher that that offered to say, Otherwise I would
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: have probably been in a situation where, um, you know,
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know, try and find somebody. Yeah, well, I'm
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: happy that you shared that, because so often in this
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: world of social media and everybody living this like we
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: are perfect and we can do all the things people
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: don't admit, And I think there is no shame in
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: any game like to say, like, I'm like, listen, Maria
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: lives with us, and I am so grateful that I
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: have her. She's part of our family. She you know,
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: cooks a heck of a lot better than I do.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: We love her, we laugh with her, and like, without her,
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: I would at this stage in our life, I would
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: really be struggling. I mean with Slaton Crews, that wasn't
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: an offer for us, and you know, I was, you know,
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: not working in the same capacity, so it was me
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: and I can't imagine going through what we had gone,
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: you know. So I have so much empathy and like
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: for those moms who are just really slugging away, and
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: I'm grateful that we had it. But I think it's
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: important for people in the public eye to say, like, listen,
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: I do have help, and it's not always perfection, and
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: it's not always easy, and you know, and and when
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: people say, are you you know, do you feel bad
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: that you work or you do this thing? Is like no,
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: I want to show my kids that you have to
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: work if you know, if you want something or you
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: want to build your life, you have to do what
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: your you know, makes you happy. Totally listen. I think
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: that we're giving a lot and I have mom guilt
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: all the time. I've always worked. I also have post
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: traumatic stress syndrome. After season one because I want on
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: the show, I opened my house and my home and everything,
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: and you know, I had a baby, and I was
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: working and you know, with Pequin doing a lot of
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: things and and and a toddler, and we had help,
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: and the way it came across the first season was
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: that I was an absent mother. That was by far
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: the worst sword dagger to my heart that I've ever experienced,
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: especially for someone like me that I literally live from
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: my children, live for my children, live breathe exists for
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: my children, having help, having some support because of our hectic,
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: busy lives, and being able to have that support, you know,
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: as a working mom, I'm so grateful. But that doesn't
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: mean by any stretch of the imagination that you're not
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: there for your kids, not doing things for your kids.
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, and you know you can tell by looking
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: and meeting the kids and seeing the kids, you know,
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: how how they are, how people final family dynamic they have,
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: you know, even though they have some some additional support.
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: So I think that for me, with that, um, I
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: think that it had such a negative connotation, and I
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: think people you know, drew these conclusions and however they
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: wanted it to look, you know, and however it looked at,
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: it definitely garnered some attention. UM. But yeah, I think
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: that the support is amazing. I think as working moms,
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: you know, you need to in order to work some
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: of it's daycare. Some of it is you know, you
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: have a nanny or you have you know, a housekeeper.
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: I don't have a live in I think that that is,
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: you know, something that's that's incredible, but still have the
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: support where you know, I'm able to be involved with
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: the kids in every aspect, but yet also be able
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: to work and and luckily, the nature of my job
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: is I can fit in my work in between all
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: of those things. And I mean, I think it's it's
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: one of those things that ebbs and flows, you know
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: that I I will have to talk to the kids
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: sometimes they'll be like, this week is a really busy
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: work week for mommy, I love you so much, But
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: next week we are, you know, like and you know,
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: of course I'm still there for bedtime and stuff, but like,
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: there's sometimes when I really work is really busy, and
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: then it will be the same with I don't know,
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: some weeks that are he's so so busy, and I'm like, dude,
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: we gotta real, like, you know, and we just we
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: gotta check each other absolutely. And I think that the
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: biggest thing that really kind of turns me off when
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: it comes to the world of social media is uh,
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: mom shaming because at all just doing the best that
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: we can. And if you are taking time out of
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: your day to shame somebody for their parenting, it's something
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: that's going on with you, not uh. And and I
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: that's the one thing where I'm like block blog because
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: I can't. I'm like, I don't. I don't want to
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: see it. I don't need that. Like, if you want
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: to come at me for anything else, go for it.
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: It's a fair game. But that is like, no, same,
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: That's exactly why I'm it doesn't matter talk about anything
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: you want. You know, you don't have to look my upfit,
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: you don't have to like whatever it is. But don't
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: you dare slack off the one thing that I'm most
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: proud of you, the one thing that is it is
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: my whole heart, you know, And I know I'm such
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: a good mother. So when you when you make those, um,
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't think now. I mean this was
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: first season and then after that, I really, um, you know,
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: they captured a lot more, although not enough of me
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: and the kids. And that's fine, and well, I mean
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: the show is housewives, isn't it. It's not like you know,
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: they want to see a you know, a sliver of
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: your outside of your life. But they really want to
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: see you bashing it up with the ladies. I really
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: want a lot of find out. But Okay, to close out,
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: you gotta give us something juicy. You gotta give us
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: something like either something to tease, like that's coming forward
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: that we need to be looking forward to on the show,
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: some sort of rifft that maybe we don't see coming. Definitely,
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: there's things you don't see coming. Oh yeah, I mean there,
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: I can tell you this. Um. The the one thing
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: about this season that I found was there were a
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: lot of little risks, like something would happen and then
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: it moved into another direction and you don't even see
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: it coming, and then it moves in another direction. So
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: it doesn't linger the entire time. Obviously, things that are
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: going on with Rika they were unfolding while we were filming,
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: so there was new information happening all the time. But
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: outside of that, amongst the ladies and the relationships, I
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: would say that, um, the some of the riffs that happened,
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: um or the issues between the ladies, they you don't
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: expect it. Did everybody cry at one point? Um? No,
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think most people cried. I've
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: seen it was three cries already. I don't know cries
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: already agree. But you you know what, you're not a
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: big prior. No, I'm not. I'm always no matter how
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: brutal it got. I was like, I was like, look
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, not even a teer one in that
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: I And meanwhile, I'm like, if I could remove my
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: tear ducks in places or else there, I know. Well,
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you something, Teddy, I you know, both cancers, yeah,
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: are I'm extremely sensitive. I grew up with a father
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: who was an Israeli paratrooper. It was being in my
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: mind from the very young age, like, you know, be tough,
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: you know, hold back your tears, be tough, mind over matter.
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: I don't think that that. I don't think I'm consciously
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: aware of it, because I do. I'll go when i'm
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: alone and i'm by myself and I think about these things,
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: you know, and then I'll start to cry. But mostly
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: you know, it's it. I wouldn't say I'm a crier,
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: and I definitely wouldn't say I'm not a crier. I
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: just think that um in the presser situation you've been
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: accustomed to holding it out. Yeah, it's more like the anxiety.
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: I wish I could have that release, to be honest
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: with you, because if I did release in that moment,
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: then I wouldn't be absorbed with so much anxiety. But
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: instead I get so much anxiety and then I'm just
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: like it. It messes up my mind. But I have
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: my moments, even with p K, Like if you get
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: into a fight, he's like, and he's a crier. Yeah,
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: oh my god, day I watched Frid two times in
