1:25
Speaker 1: believe I'm meeting you. I'm and then we wore the
1:28
Speaker 1: same dress. To remember we were the same You're making
1:32
Speaker 1: me nervous with your champagne again. I know I'm not
1:35
Speaker 1: going to smell my champagne. I'll put it over here.
1:37
Speaker 1: But we were the same dress. I can't what brand
1:39
Speaker 1: was it? I can't remember. She's asking, what was it? Jivago?
1:43
Speaker 1: I remember, now, okay, but I actually gave that up
1:45
Speaker 1: for a charity event. That dress. I love that dress.
1:47
Speaker 1: When did you guys both wear you? Were it at
1:49
Speaker 1: the reunion? Just? Oh, I wore it at the re union. Yeah, yeah,
1:54
Speaker 1: it's actually good dress. I just try to win at
1:56
Speaker 1: my ice maker, so hopefully won't be weird. But I
1:58
Speaker 1: just have to say, like, as a viewer, I adore you.
2:01
Speaker 1: You are so pretty, so put together, love the family life,
2:06
Speaker 1: love you. So as we were finishing, is going to
2:10
Speaker 1: tell you that she's always had good things. So as
2:14
Speaker 1: we were finishing last week's pod, I said, you know,
2:18
Speaker 1: the one thing that I've noticed about Crystal was because
2:20
Speaker 1: I've known her for nine years. Is that Crystal not
2:25
Speaker 1: on television is the life of the party. I'm telling you.
2:29
Speaker 1: She walks into every room. She's having fun, she's dancing,
2:32
Speaker 1: she's twerking, she's over the top, so much fun, which
2:36
Speaker 1: is why I originally preferred her on the show. I
2:38
Speaker 1: feel like you're kind of calm on the show, though,
2:40
Speaker 1: But that's what I'm saying, You're a little bit different
2:42
Speaker 1: on the show. She's gonna see, like I'm gonna tell
2:44
Speaker 1: you this is you know you. You texted me like
2:46
Speaker 1: you want some like tea and whatever, and I don't
2:49
Speaker 1: think she's so shady, and I'm like, I don't know
2:54
Speaker 1: what I'm allowed to say, but I'm just gonna say
2:55
Speaker 1: it because like it happened, and like I know, I'm
2:57
Speaker 1: not it's not storyline. It just happened. But there's a
3:01
Speaker 1: I got into it a little bit with Rinna, who
3:04
Speaker 1: I really I love when she goes. Teddy said you
3:08
Speaker 1: aren't like this in real life, and I said, what
3:13
Speaker 1: hold on? I said, you're right, because I don't. I'm
3:16
Speaker 1: not comfortable around you guys, Like I like being around
3:19
Speaker 1: Teddy and that's why I'm normal around her. So like
3:22
Speaker 1: how I'm acting on the shows, like I really you know,
3:26
Speaker 1: after last year, I was like like, let go, let go,
3:29
Speaker 1: because I'm so stressed about the cameras, like if you're
3:31
Speaker 1: not like if you if cameras are not your thing,
3:35
Speaker 1: like you didn't like seek that out or whatever, it's
3:38
Speaker 1: super uncomfortable, and so watching everyone fight on it, it's
3:41
Speaker 1: like because everyone like sort of they're not fakey, they
3:44
Speaker 1: just level up. And then I'm like and I don't
3:47
Speaker 1: know how to level up. I'm just the same all
3:48
Speaker 1: the time and like I want to have fun and relax,
3:52
Speaker 1: and so when everyone's like this, I get very insular
3:54
Speaker 1: because I'm like I don't know what to do. So
3:56
Speaker 1: it's actually me being very real that environment. But the
4:01
Speaker 1: environment is always like that, Yeah, do you feel like
4:04
Speaker 1: you're a little bit different the second season, because I
4:07
Speaker 1: feel like sometimes your first season you don't know where
4:09
Speaker 1: your places, you've never done this before, and then second
4:11
Speaker 1: season you're like, ah, here I am bitches. I walked
4:15
Speaker 1: in hopefully feeling that way, and then it didn't doesn't
4:19
Speaker 1: work out again, But but I love that you say that. Yeah,
4:23
Speaker 1: I was like okay, Like like Ted, you always gave
4:26
Speaker 1: me like you were, you know, you were always such
4:28
Speaker 1: a support, you know, support like show yourself, be fun.
4:31
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, I'm gonna be fun. And it's like
4:35
Speaker 1: that's who I am naturally, because I'm feeling it naturally right.
4:38
Speaker 1: And then towards the second half, I really settle in
4:42
Speaker 1: and I hopefully they'll show that. And then I just
4:45
Speaker 1: start like because I was like, oh my camera, Like,
4:47
Speaker 1: am I going to work and be weird and crazy
4:50
Speaker 1: and funny? Because like in your what I think what
4:52
Speaker 1: happens is like when after I saw on the show,
4:55
Speaker 1: if people misread like being funny or like is so
5:01
Speaker 1: full of themselves and I'm like, I'm not full of myself.
5:03
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to have fun. And so it's just
5:06
Speaker 1: such a mind f to you because you're trying and
5:08
Speaker 1: I get it, you're trying to self produce yourself. Are
5:11
Speaker 1: you worried about what people are going to say about you? Yes,
5:14
Speaker 1: I'm a such a people That's who I am, and
5:16
Speaker 1: people please, well you can't. You're just gonna have to
5:18
Speaker 1: let that go. And how influenced are you by what
5:21
Speaker 1: people are saying on social media? Because I see that
5:23
Speaker 1: sometimes people post uff. You'll repost it in your stories.
5:27
Speaker 1: I know it's affecting you. See, how are you kind
5:29
Speaker 1: of compartmentalizing that right now? So it's interesting that. So
5:35
Speaker 1: of course the first season and you're like, don't read
5:37
Speaker 1: it's you know, I just I was always in a
5:39
Speaker 1: rabbit hole. I was like, are you Like, yeah, it
5:41
Speaker 1: was really bad. And I think also because I'm starting
5:44
Speaker 1: on a time where social media is so severe, you know,
5:48
Speaker 1: and so it's very hard. I was like, Okay, I'm
5:51
Speaker 1: not going to worry about it second year, and I
5:53
Speaker 1: still did. But it's what's interesting now is seeing people
5:58
Speaker 1: reply to see means from my first year. It's so different.
6:03
Speaker 1: And I was like, now I really realize it doesn't matter.
6:07
Speaker 1: It's like people move on and they remember things different.
6:10
Speaker 1: Like I think that if I do it again, like
6:13
Speaker 1: I would totally be fine, because I know, really it's
6:16
Speaker 1: like it's so fleeting. But in the time, you know,
6:19
Speaker 1: like I've never been judged before, you know, it's a
6:23
Speaker 1: there's a learning curve there. Like back when I started,
6:26
Speaker 1: you know, my Space was very mean to me. My Space.
6:30
Speaker 1: I'm not joking it. My Space was so mean to
6:33
Speaker 1: me and I would wanted to reply to every negative comment.
6:36
Speaker 1: I wouldn't reply to the nice ones, only the mean
6:38
Speaker 1: ones because I was so hurt because I've never been
6:42
Speaker 1: picked apart like that from the way you look, the
6:44
Speaker 1: way you act, the way you dress, and I was
6:46
Speaker 1: just like, I felt so bad. I wanted to make
6:49
Speaker 1: friends with everybody that's been mean to me. And then
6:51
Speaker 1: I would say, after season three, I'm like, pound sound,
6:54
Speaker 1: I don't care pick rocks. It takes a while, and
6:59
Speaker 1: I mean I still deal with that. I always say,
7:02
Speaker 1: you know, people were posting stuff because you know I
7:05
Speaker 1: did that podcast with Erica, and are you getting a
7:08
Speaker 1: hard time for that? No, I'm just getting There's been
7:10
Speaker 1: like some people that actually really loved it, and I
7:13
Speaker 1: thought it was fun. It was so you know, all
7:15
Speaker 1: of these things. We got to see a different side
7:17
Speaker 1: to all of the women that we don't see on
7:18
Speaker 1: the show because everybody's guards aren't up. And then people
7:21
Speaker 1: are like, well, this is just Teddy trying to be
7:23
Speaker 1: on the show, and I'm like, listen, I am actually
7:28
Speaker 1: so happy to be able to talk about all of
7:31
Speaker 1: the shows. Stay out of the drama and make money
7:34
Speaker 1: doing it and watch it as a viewer. But ividently
7:38
Speaker 1: after you um move on from Housewives, you have to
7:41
Speaker 1: go die, yeah, like you have to go time you
7:44
Speaker 1: like and do anything else in life because people go, oh,
7:46
Speaker 1: you just and I'm like, you know what, Yes, I'm
7:51
Speaker 1: going to try to make money, like I'm making money, bitches,
7:54
Speaker 1: I possibly can, and yeah, as you should. I mean
7:57
Speaker 1: that's what we're not what the Husbler does, are right,
8:00
Speaker 1: that's what we are here to entertain you, no matter
8:03
Speaker 1: if you're on a show, not on a show, no
8:05
Speaker 1: matter if you're entertained or not, and no matter if
8:07
Speaker 1: I got d M s from people, like from fans
8:10
Speaker 1: like why weren't you there? And I'm like, people are
8:13
Speaker 1: allowed to have other friendships, Like it's just the most
8:16
Speaker 1: bizarre concept. It's like I start the show and then
8:19
Speaker 1: I'm on it and all of a sudden, that's my crew,
8:22
Speaker 1: that's my friend group. And if you're not together, something's happen,
8:25
Speaker 1: something's wrong. Yeah, And I'm like, but in real life friendships,
8:30
Speaker 1: but I have other Like I have a whole life
8:32
Speaker 1: that you probably have friends that won't even go on camera,
8:35
Speaker 1: that you've had friends for twenty years and like, I
8:37
Speaker 1: ain't going on that show. Most of my friends won't
8:39
Speaker 1: watch the show. Like, like I heard that you're cold.
8:43
Speaker 1: I'm like okay, Like I just don't watch it. Yeah,
8:47
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's because you are going to see
8:49
Speaker 1: a different side. So we have to ask certain fan
9:02
Speaker 1: questions that just kind of come up, which is we
9:06
Speaker 1: always ask how did you get cast on the show? Casted?
9:12
Speaker 1: Trouble because she says casted and it's not a word.
9:15
Speaker 1: It's not a word. Okay, Okay, I'm big on words.
9:19
Speaker 1: I get called okay, well I'm not. I have to
9:22
Speaker 1: we have to be transparent because the way the show
9:24
Speaker 1: made it look is that you came in as you
9:27
Speaker 1: and Kathy were super tight, and that's how it happened.
9:30
Speaker 1: So give us the real real. Um well, obviously I
9:34
Speaker 1: think the US have to have a connection to someone, right.
9:37
Speaker 1: So my first call was from you, and it was
9:41
Speaker 1: the end of March and I was sitting on the
9:44
Speaker 1: couch in the dark and it was like lockdown, right,
9:46
Speaker 1: everyone's like depressed. And it was literally a week or
9:49
Speaker 1: two after and you know, you texted me said, um, like,
9:54
Speaker 1: are you interested or something? And I said no right
9:59
Speaker 1: away and then um, You're like why And then we
10:03
Speaker 1: got on the phone and you were like you're so fun,
10:06
Speaker 1: You're so love like obviously it's hard for me to
10:09
Speaker 1: show that, but um, and I was like, I don't know,
10:12
Speaker 1: and you're like, just take a call. And then you know.
10:14
Speaker 1: It was COVID and I remember telling Rob and he
10:16
Speaker 1: was like, you have like this will be the one
10:19
Speaker 1: thing you have some to look forward to in the
10:21
Speaker 1: next six months and talked out like a phone call,
10:23
Speaker 1: you'll be able to go, You'll be able to do anything.
10:26
Speaker 1: So I was like whatever, I'll just you know, humor
10:29
Speaker 1: myself in a way. But it was never something on
10:31
Speaker 1: my radar and then they would just call. It was
10:34
Speaker 1: like a month later again, have a call. It was
10:36
Speaker 1: very relaxed, and then it was probably like gosh, end
10:41
Speaker 1: of summer. Then that's when Kathy called me. Was like
10:44
Speaker 1: I'm talking about it. I said I would do it
10:46
Speaker 1: if you would do it. So the Kathy thing came later.
10:49
Speaker 1: I've known Kathy for fifteen years, um, but Teddy was
10:52
Speaker 1: my very first call and I went through the journey
10:55
Speaker 1: with you. How is your relationship with Kathy now? Good?
10:59
Speaker 1: Kathy called me at ten thirty last night and I
11:01
Speaker 1: was falling asleep at eleven thirty, into which I said,
11:04
Speaker 1: I have to get off the phone, and she's like
11:06
Speaker 1: wired and it's good. You know what's interesting it actually
11:09
Speaker 1: like I've known Cathy for so long, but it's always
11:12
Speaker 1: been very sort of social. That's what I was gonna say,
11:15
Speaker 1: Like true like close friends or like, well other out
11:19
Speaker 1: and we chat and we have yeah, like I would
11:21
Speaker 1: always you know, we invited to each other, like we
11:23
Speaker 1: have a lot of mutual friends. The birthday party. You know,
11:25
Speaker 1: I'm hyper social like she does. She's somebody that like
11:28
Speaker 1: books herself multiple dinners a night and then goes to
11:31
Speaker 1: charity event and then another event like the Yeah, I
11:36
Speaker 1: have like two dinners tonight and like it's just but
11:39
Speaker 1: here's the thing I do it. I think actually it
11:42
Speaker 1: started from Fomo into like I really realized. I just
11:45
Speaker 1: it's like energizes me that. Yeah, not like he wants
11:52
Speaker 1: to be home at least two nights a week, but
11:53
Speaker 1: I can do six to seven nights out Okay, Rob,
11:56
Speaker 1: Now he's a producer, right, he's a director, direct director. Okay,
12:00
Speaker 1: so he's in the industry. Did you have any hesitation
12:03
Speaker 1: about being on the show. Yes, Yeah, First of all,
12:06
Speaker 1: the whole process going through it, Teddy like he just
12:08
Speaker 1: never thought it would happen. He was more like, he's
12:11
Speaker 1: like I cast people day and day out, Like do
12:13
Speaker 1: you know how hard it is to get cast and whatever?
12:16
Speaker 1: And it wasn't like I'm like I wanted. I was
12:17
Speaker 1: just like I felt bad because I kept talking to producers,
12:20
Speaker 1: Like every time I hung up, I was like, well,
12:22
Speaker 1: I'm not doing it anyway. He's like, just keep going,
12:24
Speaker 1: like you're such a fan of the show, Like I said,
12:26
Speaker 1: I watched Orange County from day one, and you want
12:30
Speaker 1: to watch Beverly Hills. And I was like, and he's
12:33
Speaker 1: you know, and Rob is not in reality he just
12:35
Speaker 1: family films. So it was sort of a way to
12:37
Speaker 1: like learn about reality TV. That's what we were. That
12:40
Speaker 1: was our direction from it. But once it started getting
12:43
Speaker 1: sort of closer, um, that's when we got really deep
12:47
Speaker 1: into it with his agents, our lawyers because they're his
12:51
Speaker 1: agents spization for twenty five years, so like really close friends,
12:54
Speaker 1: and we really wanted to make sure that we as
12:58
Speaker 1: a family, like in his career, was protected because that's
13:03
Speaker 1: number one in my life, you know, in our family,
13:06
Speaker 1: he's he takes care of us. You know, I have
13:08
Speaker 1: my business, but that's our life. And um, and they
13:12
Speaker 1: were like, no, it's really not like we know who
13:14
Speaker 1: you are, so it's not going to affect him positive
13:16
Speaker 1: or negative. And then that's when it was scary though.
13:19
Speaker 1: But we really like Rob and I dug deep and
13:22
Speaker 1: we're like, is it going to affect us? And I
13:23
Speaker 1: always tell people like people, are you freding in divorce?
13:26
Speaker 1: And I'm like, the show doesn't create divorce, No, it doesn't.
13:29
Speaker 1: It doesn't. You have to have a like a rocky foundation.
13:33
Speaker 1: Well that's what. If you're in a good relationship, you're
13:35
Speaker 1: not going to get divorced. Well, when Crystal said should
13:38
Speaker 1: I do this? I said, listen, if you don't have
13:41
Speaker 1: any terrible skeletons in your closet, do it. Yeah. If
13:46
Speaker 1: there's something you can not skeletons, if you just embrace
13:50
Speaker 1: them and say, listen, I screwed up. I did this.
13:53
Speaker 1: I did that. Nobody can shame you for it. Yeah, Like,
13:55
Speaker 1: as long as you come forward, like, don't you can't
13:57
Speaker 1: be hiding anything going to the show. He's like, that
14:00
Speaker 1: was my question, I think, And I think my second
14:02
Speaker 1: one was like do you ever feel unsafe? I remember,
14:06
Speaker 1: like I like skeletons. That stuff wasn't my thing. My
14:08
Speaker 1: thing was like, well, I like, you know, because as
14:12
Speaker 1: a person who's not hasn't been in front of the camera,
14:15
Speaker 1: you see like paparazzi and did I was like and
14:18
Speaker 1: then four stories and I remember asking like, have you
14:20
Speaker 1: ever felt like followed or I'm safe? And you said never?
14:23
Speaker 1: And that was actually my because I had young kids,
14:26
Speaker 1: you know, and so that was scary for me. And
14:29
Speaker 1: it wasn't the skeletons. It wasn't like that stuff. And
14:33
Speaker 1: then it was also just like how much is it
14:36
Speaker 1: going to change my life? Um? And it has? How
14:39
Speaker 1: much has to change your life? Yeah, it's changed dramatically
14:43
Speaker 1: in some ways, and then absolutely nothing and others like
14:46
Speaker 1: when I like I said, you have a solid home
14:48
Speaker 1: and foundation, like your kids, you just go back and
14:51
Speaker 1: you're like at school pickup and you know it's those
14:53
Speaker 1: three months that you're filming. And then you sort of
14:55
Speaker 1: I love that you say three months. You know it's
14:57
Speaker 1: like a full year job. It is. But I'm saying
15:00
Speaker 1: like when I'm so many jo I check out, I'm
15:04
Speaker 1: very not social. I'm like this is I'm I can't
15:07
Speaker 1: see you guys until February. Do you feel like any
15:10
Speaker 1: of your longtime friends that you've had have changed towards you.
15:16
Speaker 1: Um My long Like I'm really close with like my
15:19
Speaker 1: friends from elementary high school, like I grew up in
15:21
Speaker 1: l A. And they anybody changed in the attitude or
15:26
Speaker 1: gotten jealous because that does happen, I will say, more
15:30
Speaker 1: so people in my life and more recently who are
15:35
Speaker 1: like the people that don't be from the beginning, but
15:37
Speaker 1: they want to be your friend. No, they but what
15:41
Speaker 1: about people that you knew like socially and all of
15:43
Speaker 1: a sudden they want to be your best friend because
15:45
Speaker 1: you're on TV now. But I think the difference like
15:48
Speaker 1: a lot of Crystal's friends are old money I'm just saying,
15:52
Speaker 1: and doesn't want their dirty But moms at school they're like, hey,
15:58
Speaker 1: you know what, Teddy knows this more than I. Like
16:02
Speaker 1: I was already that person. I was like hyper social,
16:06
Speaker 1: dissenter every like that's just who I am. She plans
16:09
Speaker 1: all the parties, cooks all the food, like does all
16:11
Speaker 1: the things. So it's not like it it got more.
16:14
Speaker 1: It's just always like they're like, oh, like now you
16:17
Speaker 1: get to be on a show and get paid for
16:18
Speaker 1: what you would do anyway. But I'm like, this is
16:21
Speaker 1: I did so you're the perfect house. You're the perfect house.
16:24
Speaker 1: But then we have to go kind of to a
16:26
Speaker 1: harder discussion. I saw on your Instagram you opened up
16:31
Speaker 1: about your eating disorder, which as your friend, we have
16:34
Speaker 1: never talked about, and I was like, holy shit, how
16:38
Speaker 1: did I not know this? Why have we never talked
16:40
Speaker 1: about this? And what made you feel more comfortable to
16:44
Speaker 1: share it? I mean I did something similar in regards
16:47
Speaker 1: to what I decided I was going to change my life.
16:49
Speaker 1: I changed my life on Instagram way prior to Housewives,
16:53
Speaker 1: but like, hold me accountable to taking care of myself.
16:57
Speaker 1: But I'm curious what made you decide to do that
16:59
Speaker 1: and and how does that transpire on the show. So
17:03
Speaker 1: it's interesting. I mean, you never so many people with
17:06
Speaker 1: my cousins called me like we had no idea, because
17:10
Speaker 1: it's not something that I'm just gonna say like, hi,
17:12
Speaker 1: I'm having that. You know, there's that. I definitely have
17:14
Speaker 1: some friends at knew, especially my friends that I grew
17:16
Speaker 1: up with from middle school in high school, because it
17:19
Speaker 1: was like built, it was developing then, so they saw
17:22
Speaker 1: sort of the signs of it as a and then
17:24
Speaker 1: as an adult, I've sort of managed it and that's
17:29
Speaker 1: been my secret, right that that was my skeleton, But
17:32
Speaker 1: it never felt that it was one of those things
17:34
Speaker 1: where it was like like I didn't really feel ashamed
17:38
Speaker 1: of it, you know, And I think what was happening
17:41
Speaker 1: was that being on the show really made me so
17:46
Speaker 1: introspective of like what is my reality? You know, and
17:50
Speaker 1: as you know it it's pretty perfect in a weird way,
17:53
Speaker 1: like I know that's like even saying that as like, uh,
17:57
Speaker 1: you know, whatever negative gonna get, but like I feel
17:59
Speaker 1: like in my life it's pretty generally good. And that
18:03
Speaker 1: was the one thing that was like not and it
18:06
Speaker 1: was weirdly like too quiet, and I just was like,
18:10
Speaker 1: that's not authentic, and it would come up in moments
18:13
Speaker 1: of the shows like like every day, you know, I
18:16
Speaker 1: hate clothes, I hate getting dressed up, and it was
18:18
Speaker 1: like it was the date of my existence putting on
18:21
Speaker 1: close because I felt terrible and wait, so you felt
18:24
Speaker 1: terrible about the way you look. So just so you know,
18:27
Speaker 1: any time I'd ever hung out with Crystal in the past,
18:30
Speaker 1: like she's always like the khaki short's like slides like
18:35
Speaker 1: a buttoned down like she's just very casual and you're
18:39
Speaker 1: very like buttoned up and like prim and proper on
18:41
Speaker 1: the show. Yeah, yeah, I mean I but it's I'm
18:45
Speaker 1: very prim and proper in sort of high like nice events,
18:50
Speaker 1: you know, but which like I see you in very
18:56
Speaker 1: casual of like my ninety nine percent of my life. Um.
19:00
Speaker 1: But yeah, it just felt like like that part was
19:04
Speaker 1: happening and I wasn't saying it, and I'm like, you
19:06
Speaker 1: know what, it's not really fair to like to say
19:10
Speaker 1: my life is perfect when it's not. But you talk
19:12
Speaker 1: about you're eating disorder and the next season. Yeah, because
19:15
Speaker 1: I mentioned it last year because it really helped. I
19:18
Speaker 1: kind of remember that. Yeah. Yeah, so I mentioned it
19:21
Speaker 1: when Sutton came in my room and I was naked
19:25
Speaker 1: and I felt I dropped to the ground. I was
19:26
Speaker 1: covering myself and I felt so, oh my god, that
19:29
Speaker 1: that makes sense. That makes sense now because before I'm like,
19:32
Speaker 1: why is she mad because suttons are naked? But that
19:35
Speaker 1: I get it now. So I just felt like they
19:37
Speaker 1: need Yeah, they needed to they needed to know. Yeah,
19:41
Speaker 1: how are you? How are you doing now? It is
19:45
Speaker 1: a it's been since I was it's daily. Right, are
19:48
Speaker 1: you in treatment for it? I mean because we're watching
19:51
Speaker 1: Jersey and we're watching what's going on Jackie Jackie, and
19:54
Speaker 1: it's been so informative. So are you are we going
19:57
Speaker 1: to see that play out this season? Yeah? Yeah, I
20:00
Speaker 1: talked about it more because you know, it comes out
20:02
Speaker 1: on Instagram while we're filming or right before. I think,
20:05
Speaker 1: and then, um, I think they for the girl because
20:08
Speaker 1: I didn't talk about it much last year, so I
20:10
Speaker 1: think it was sort of added. It was a blip,
20:12
Speaker 1: and then it wasn't. I didn't discuss it anymore, and um,
20:15
Speaker 1: because I posted it, someone brings it up, and then
20:19
Speaker 1: we talked about it more and it's in general supportive.
20:22
Speaker 1: Some of it's a little bit judge, but it's okay.
20:24
Speaker 1: And I you know, I think that's the thing of
20:26
Speaker 1: It's It's like any sort of disease or issue that
20:31
Speaker 1: we have, there's gonna be a plethora of um responses
20:35
Speaker 1: to it. And so that's what I go, good and bad.
20:37
Speaker 1: But it's good that you're bringing awareness to it. Yeah,
20:40
Speaker 1: for sure, we have to take a little break. We'll
20:42
Speaker 1: come back and we're going to discuss a couple of
20:43
Speaker 1: additional things. So I have a question, who are you
20:57
Speaker 1: closest to on the cast? Right now? Come on? Give
21:01
Speaker 1: it up, Crystal. I know it sounds so weird. Oh okay,
21:06
Speaker 1: I really love Shari Oh. We don't know much about
21:09
Speaker 1: we don't know her, and we've been seeing some of
21:11
Speaker 1: her instagrams where she was like selling bags. Yeah. I
21:15
Speaker 1: really like Shari Um and I actually I talked to
21:18
Speaker 1: Sutton a lot. Okay, so how did that happen? Like,
21:23
Speaker 1: because also we saw the first episode. I know I
21:27
Speaker 1: heard that day sent it out, like, I know people
21:30
Speaker 1: have seen it. It's really good. The first episode. I
21:33
Speaker 1: thought it was amazing. Okay, So back to our question,
21:36
Speaker 1: what's the deal with Sutton? So with Sutton, it was
21:38
Speaker 1: interesting because I think because I interacted with her the most,
21:45
Speaker 1: even though we were arguing, it's weird because then you
21:49
Speaker 1: you feel like you get to know. So I remember
21:51
Speaker 1: coming to your house once. I was like what is
21:53
Speaker 1: her deal? I was not good with her. I was like,
21:57
Speaker 1: why is she she coming after me? And she's like,
22:01
Speaker 1: You're like, I think she's kind of She's fine. Remember
22:04
Speaker 1: you were like you were kind of surprised. But no,
22:06
Speaker 1: I said, Sutton has a very weird sense of humor
22:11
Speaker 1: that sometimes I don't think is I mean, I'm being honest,
22:14
Speaker 1: sometimes I don't think it's actually funny. Sometimes I think
22:17
Speaker 1: it can be funny, but sometimes I think it's Southern humor,
22:21
Speaker 1: which is like to kind of it's like passive aggressive,
22:24
Speaker 1: and sometimes it's funny. Um, what we noticed in the
22:27
Speaker 1: first episode is, um, she does something that you're it's
22:30
Speaker 1: a little cringe, but then I mean it's very cringe,
22:34
Speaker 1: but then she's good in her confessional, so it kind
22:37
Speaker 1: of makes up for it. Um. But for me, as
22:43
Speaker 1: how I was when I was with you know, the
22:45
Speaker 1: group at the end, I'm curious if you think that
22:49
Speaker 1: Sutton and Garcela's relationship is authentic. She's thinking about it, Oh,
22:58
Speaker 1: I really, you know what, here's the thing and I pause.
23:01
Speaker 1: Not because it's like, no, it's fake, it's because it's
23:07
Speaker 1: I mean, you and Kyle are so freaking close. It's
23:10
Speaker 1: hard for me to imagine being being able to be
23:15
Speaker 1: that close to someone on the show. It's just personal, like,
23:19
Speaker 1: because I'm so close to my friends, I share, like,
23:22
Speaker 1: because the environment is so kind of bizarre toxic, Yeah,
23:27
Speaker 1: just so I'm always on guard. Yeah, you're smart, I
23:31
Speaker 1: mean guess, but also how do you do it without
23:34
Speaker 1: feeling really like I had to have my Kyle to survive. Well,
23:40
Speaker 1: I had Diana this year. Oh yes, tells about Diana.
23:43
Speaker 1: I love her. When she's like you need a new villain,
23:48
Speaker 1: it's so But no, I want to go back to
23:52
Speaker 1: that because I don't want that to just like end
23:54
Speaker 1: in space. No, they're really good friends and they are
23:58
Speaker 1: one of the closest friends on the show for sure,
24:02
Speaker 1: and it's genuine, like they really like each other. But
24:05
Speaker 1: because when I was on, they did not like each
24:07
Speaker 1: other at all. Well that's what I'm saying. It's like,
24:11
Speaker 1: but it takes time, Like I hate it someting last year,
24:14
Speaker 1: and like it doesn't mean that I'm best friends with
24:16
Speaker 1: Everyone's like, oh so glad they are a team now.
24:18
Speaker 1: It's like like we're friends now and we're good, but
24:22
Speaker 1: it takes time to get there, Like and people expect
24:25
Speaker 1: the show to exist over you. It's like it's so
24:27
Speaker 1: short lived and it takes Like I'm someone that takes
24:30
Speaker 1: time and because everything I want to do is authentic
24:34
Speaker 1: and so is their friendship real for sure, but they
24:36
Speaker 1: have only known each other a couple of years. Are
24:39
Speaker 1: you talking? Are you talking to everybody on the cast
24:42
Speaker 1: right now? Am I? Yeah? Yeah? Who did you have
24:46
Speaker 1: your biggest drama with this season. I mean, I know
24:56
Speaker 1: the girls teased everything. You don't have to tell us why,
25:01
Speaker 1: but you can say who it is. I would say,
25:04
Speaker 1: my biggest drama is I don't think I could say it.
25:09
Speaker 1: You can say it saying is. You don't say what,
25:11
Speaker 1: don't don't spill the t on y, you don't say why,
25:14
Speaker 1: Just say who you're having the biggest issues with. I'm
25:17
Speaker 1: a season housewife. I know this, Okay. I would say,
25:22
Speaker 1: garcel Oh really, Oh that makes me excited now, I'm
25:30
Speaker 1: excited because you don't like her. No, I like, here's
25:33
Speaker 1: the thing. I don't dislike Garcella. And I even said,
25:36
Speaker 1: like Crystal, when we were filming, when you guys were
25:40
Speaker 1: filming and I was working for extra, wasn't garcel like
25:44
Speaker 1: friendly to me at that event? Remember for Kyle's opening,
25:49
Speaker 1: So all of a sudden something shifted now and she
25:52
Speaker 1: refused to come on the podcast if I was on it,
25:55
Speaker 1: she would only do it with Tamera. So I don't
25:57
Speaker 1: know what has transpired that now. I mean, I commented
26:03
Speaker 1: on what she said about Kathy and Kyle. I said,
26:07
Speaker 1: you know, I thought that was a little bit reckless
26:10
Speaker 1: to say that because that's her sister, and watch What
26:13
Speaker 1: Happens five and like, I think here's the thing, blood,
26:17
Speaker 1: I think runs thicker than the relationships on these shows ultimately,
26:21
Speaker 1: and the way she said it was kind of just
26:23
Speaker 1: like but but she apologized to Kyle. She did apologize
26:27
Speaker 1: to Kyle. And so I don't have an issue with Garcela,
26:29
Speaker 1: and I want to go into this season open, but
26:33
Speaker 1: I can't because she's to my face, she's always nice.
26:38
Speaker 1: I don't know her. So I judge people on how
26:40
Speaker 1: they treat me and not how they treat other people,
26:41
Speaker 1: and definitely not how they treat people on a reality show.
26:44
Speaker 1: So I would love for her to come on. And
26:46
Speaker 1: that's that's what I'm saying. Like it to my face,
26:49
Speaker 1: she's always nice, So what's the issue. It's like the
26:52
Speaker 1: Sutten thing with me. Sometimes you have to go through
26:56
Speaker 1: heavy speed bumps first, and like now, like I'm like,
27:00
Speaker 1: it's great with Garcia, you know, like because I feel
27:03
Speaker 1: like we had to go through that, you know, and
27:05
Speaker 1: you know she had questions and whatever. But um, and again,
27:09
Speaker 1: like you said, Teddy, it's like, I don't it's hard.
27:11
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit different on the show. Because I'm
27:14
Speaker 1: I'm like with hold up on the show because I'm
27:17
Speaker 1: stressed and nervous, you know, and so I think people
27:20
Speaker 1: don't really get to know who I am. And and
27:22
Speaker 1: then once I get through that, I really open up
27:26
Speaker 1: and have fun. And I was like, oh my god,
27:28
Speaker 1: this is what this is the crystal we want? You know. Well,
27:31
Speaker 1: if you guys aren't like so scary all the time, right,
27:36
Speaker 1: do you think that you're getting a second season curse
27:39
Speaker 1: or you think that you're going to get the second
27:41
Speaker 1: season better at it? Um? I don't know. We couldn't like.
27:47
Speaker 1: I don't feel like you do anything to to be
27:50
Speaker 1: to look bad. I don't feel like you're that person.
27:53
Speaker 1: You're more like the voice of reason. Um, there's a
27:56
Speaker 1: little she has a little drama at the beginning. I think, yeah,
28:01
Speaker 1: you do not in the first season, not first episode,
28:04
Speaker 1: but you do some inside information in yeah, um from
28:10
Speaker 1: all the Girl you have all the inside but I
28:13
Speaker 1: can't spell it, but you see we politely spill it. Yes,
28:16
Speaker 1: I know. I want to ask you a question, what
28:19
Speaker 1: was it like to be the first Asian American on
28:21
Speaker 1: Beverly Hills? Oh? Man, I mean it's it's pretty incredible.
28:25
Speaker 1: It's ize how um, how meaningful, meaningful it was for people,
28:33
Speaker 1: and then in turn it's become so meaningful for me. Yeah,
28:37
Speaker 1: and that's been really special. And I've it's what I
28:40
Speaker 1: was with my girlfriend a day and she's Korean and
28:43
Speaker 1: and we she's like, you know, it's weird because it
28:45
Speaker 1: was such a hard year for for Asians last year,
28:49
Speaker 1: UM with the uptick of um Asian hate crimes made
28:54
Speaker 1: us sort of really fall in love and really like
28:59
Speaker 1: own Asian iss and we're like, let's just wear Hello
29:02
Speaker 1: Kitty all day. Oh my gosh, did you get out it?
29:07
Speaker 1: As opposed to feeling sort of embarrassed and nerdy and
29:09
Speaker 1: all those things that we were we felt growing up
29:12
Speaker 1: like stereotype And now we're like, we're cool and we
29:15
Speaker 1: don't care what you think because like we still write
29:18
Speaker 1: on like stationary with like you know, dolls on it,
29:20
Speaker 1: like we don't care. Yeah, did you feel pressure about representing?
29:24
Speaker 1: Of course? You know. Do you feel like you don't
29:26
Speaker 1: want to overdo it, you don't want to underdo it?
29:28
Speaker 1: Like did you feel like it was kind of I
29:30
Speaker 1: feel like it's going to put you in a weird position,
29:32
Speaker 1: Like I don't want to overdo it. I don't want
29:34
Speaker 1: people to hate me even more. And you talked about
29:36
Speaker 1: it last year that you've got a lot of hate,
29:39
Speaker 1: a lot, a lot of racist comments. Yeah, I'm getting it.
29:43
Speaker 1: But I'm so glad you said that, because honestly, like
29:46
Speaker 1: I wouldn't know that. I wouldn't know that, Like I mean,
29:49
Speaker 1: I get hate, but it's not because of my race.
29:51
Speaker 1: It's because you know, as I breathed, ahole, I smiled,
29:56
Speaker 1: I but I spoke, I lifted my hand up. But
29:58
Speaker 1: I feel like it's it's a very educational for people
30:01
Speaker 1: like me that don't know that. Yeah, yeah I was.
30:05
Speaker 1: I wasn't raised like that, Like we didn't. I don't
30:07
Speaker 1: hate anybody the color of the skin or their gender
30:10
Speaker 1: or things that we don't know about that. So I
30:14
Speaker 1: think the education for all of us is so important. Um.
30:19
Speaker 1: We do have to end with a couple of fan questions,
30:22
Speaker 1: which these are ones that we put on Instagram. They
30:25
Speaker 1: ask us they want to know one. So we see
30:28
Speaker 1: in the trailer where you said, where Erica says to you,
30:33
Speaker 1: it's cool, too important the victims. So yeah, that's okay.
30:41
Speaker 1: By the way, it is cool to support the Yes,
30:43
Speaker 1: it is so so where do you stand with Erica today? Um? Well, look,
30:50
Speaker 1: I mean as you heard, because I don't. I was like,
30:53
Speaker 1: I was getting urso giving away stuff like you heard.
30:55
Speaker 1: She felt like that was that if she could take
30:57
Speaker 1: anything away, you know you on your podcast the other day. Um,
31:01
Speaker 1: and so yeah, she's she has she's ever apologized for
31:05
Speaker 1: saying that. But that's it's Actually it's interesting because that
31:09
Speaker 1: wasn't about me, you know, I mean, that wasn't attack
31:13
Speaker 1: on me. I never took that way. I'm like, whatever
31:16
Speaker 1: you think, I'm cool, whatever, you know. Like, I think
31:18
Speaker 1: what she meant and I'm not trying to defend her
31:20
Speaker 1: in this moment, but I think she meant, was you
31:22
Speaker 1: you care more about what the audience thinks in regards
31:26
Speaker 1: to the situation than what I'm going I don't think
31:29
Speaker 1: anybody realizes what she's really going through. The intense stress
31:33
Speaker 1: of that has got to be like and and the
31:36
Speaker 1: way that she handles situations, and she she's going to
31:39
Speaker 1: go like a book, the thing that helps me open
31:44
Speaker 1: up the most and really expressed my feel like when
31:47
Speaker 1: I'm withholding, it's because I'm scared in this situation. I'm
31:50
Speaker 1: not scared. That's how I feel, And then who are
31:53
Speaker 1: do you feel the closest to right now? Like truly
31:56
Speaker 1: you would go to lunch with off camera, well friends
31:59
Speaker 1: with know, but like you would spend time with off camera.
32:03
Speaker 1: She said, Kathy calls her at night, but like, well
32:05
Speaker 1: that's pretty close if she calls you at thirty at night. No,
32:08
Speaker 1: but that that's kind of Cathy's thing, Like Cathy loves
32:11
Speaker 1: She's she's she's on Red Bull and fans. Kathy's not
32:15
Speaker 1: calling everybody, but um, that she's only calling me bitch. Um,
32:25
Speaker 1: It's funny. I really have a very I haven't. I
32:28
Speaker 1: think I'd like to think I have a good relationship
32:30
Speaker 1: with everybody. Um, I probably am gonna. I got together
32:36
Speaker 1: with SHERI for dinner. Um, that was my really only
32:40
