  Speaker 3: But I figured out my outfits. I think it's very
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: important to look good and I don't know what to
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: wear for what?
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Have we worked it out? Though?
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: No?
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: The lace look for the panel? Okay, I think I
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: changed my mind because that you want to be fun
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: for Okay, the black blazer another time? Are you nervous
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: for the panel?
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: Not at all?
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: No, I just really I feel like we've just finished
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: season three filming Season three, we've done a reunion.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: I'm like, how hard can a panel be? I don't know.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: I love this mindset right there's I don't know exactly
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: how many people are in the room. I want to
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: give maybe like a three to five hundred maybe more.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: Really really eat a five hundred people?
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Yes, Okay, what is it like for you being on TV?
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Do you enjoy it? Was it a shock?
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: Thank you?
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: I enjoy it It's funny watching yourself back. You learn
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: little quirky things about yourself. I didn't realize what an
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: accent I had. I thought this is just how people talk.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: And then when I hear people say I talk different
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: or have an accent or whatever, now I see it.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, how did no one ever notice? How
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: did I not notice that? And how did no one
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: ever tell me?
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Because that's normal when you're talking to someone. It wouldn't
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: be normal for them to be like you, you talk
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: differently than I do. Yeah, But when you open yourself
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: up to the audience, they no longer look at you
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: as like a real person. You're someone that they watch
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: on TV that they feel like they can critique and
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: pick at. And it's strange, Like, what is one of
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: the words that you didn't realize you were saying in
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: a weird way?
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: Disaster and threatened?
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Threatened?
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: That's the one she says, threatened instead of threatened.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: Right, it is hard threatened?
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: I get it? Can I tell you?
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: When I introduced myself, is Lauren? Like I can't even
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: say my own name anymore? I'm like, Lauren does sound
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: It does roll off the tongue a little bit.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Easier.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I didn't realize that I had a k Whenever
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: there's a G like, I say, thinking, see I just
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: did it.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: Oh you did Yeah, okay, and.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Feel like you know that that's really bad and you
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: should fix that. I'm like, yeah, my dad told me
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: that years ago, but I never did. Who gives a shit?
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Do you enjoy it? Are you enjoying it? Are you
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: enjoying not saying words wrong?
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: I'm enjoying it more. I was very uncomfortable my first season.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: I never wanted to be an actress. I'd never been
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: in front of a camera, so it was like very
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: awkward and you could see that I didn't know what
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: to say or do. And now it just feels like
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: it's part of life and it's just following us.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: So you feel like season three you were able to
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: be more of yourself.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: Definitely, Yes.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: And the cameras you were just there.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: I completely for yeah, I zoned it out, completely forgot
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: they're there. And all I could think about season one
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: is like, oh my god, there's a couple cameras and
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: staring at me.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Right. Yeah, So you are overthinking the first couple of
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: seasons for sure. What has been the hardest thing about
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: filming a reality TV show.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: The hardest part is having certain conversations that I don't
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: want to have, or hanging out with certain people on
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: certain days that I don't want to. I wouldn't typically
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: hang out with my ex husband all the time at
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: every party, and we have to do that.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Do you think that it's been good for your co
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: parenting relationship.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: He's better at dividing it than I departmentalize better.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: Yes. I take things very personal.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: If he treats me a certain way off camera or
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: on camera, like I think it's all one and he
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: doesn't agree with that. Okay, Yeah, I'm like, always be nice,
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: don't be nice just off camera or on camera, Like,
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: however you want to be, that's how you should be.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, that makes sense to me.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: I feel like as you start going, because I didn't
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: venture into reality television until season four of vander Pump Rules,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: so they were a very well oiled machine. They were
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: also very young, so the chaos was like nothing because
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: we were all chaotic at that point in time. Right,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: So it is interesting because again I'm.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: New to the valley.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is very different than filming vander Pump Rules
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: because you guys are very new to doing this, but
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: I have to say I had such a wonderful time
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: filming a television show with you.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: I did too.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: I honestly can't even imagine season three without you.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: You and I feel like you've come into your own
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: so much. I'm so excited for people to see it.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: Thanks. I'm looking forward to it too.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I know. Yeah, No, you're like a new person, Michelle.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: We had a lot of good times we did.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I always say, like, I remember saying this
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: on the but it's always on a fucking butt the
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: bus on Vanner Pump Rules. I think it was season six.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: I was like, you, guys, I want us to like,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: even though we're beefing with each other, I want us
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: to enjoy this moment because there's gonna be a day
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: that we blink and we're no longer on this show,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: and like, this is fucking cool. And I had moments
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: like that with you guys. Yeah, already my first season
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: in being like, wow, I'm like really enjoying this and
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna lean into it because even though it is
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: you have to have the hard conversations.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: It's so fucking fun. It should be fun and cool.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: It is, and I appreciated you saying that because I
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: took a step back and like close my eyes. I'm like,
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: this is a beautiful moment that we get to experience together.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: It is. Yeah, I'm very excited to like be with
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: you on this journey for real.
• 6:45
