are you sitting or standing you nervous yeah i'm sorry i want you to be comfortable when you go to hell standing standing is my actual hell i am in florida i am in florida during a pandemic. Don't tell me what hell is. Didn't they just open up everything? Why aren't you at the bar? No, these people are wild. I'm afraid to leave the house because there's maskless wild animals out there. I have seven anxiety attacks when I get in my car before I reverse on the driveway. I'm like, am I ready to go into the wild, wild west of Florida maskless There goes. And more importantly, is your dog okay?

Yeah, he's great. I'm sure. Okay, look, I'm going to announce you now. Oh, great. Okay, guys, I am with Kate Chastain. We go so far fucking back to the point that I forgot how we met. We met when I was at Betches. Kate rolled in, and she didn't know.

Like, obviously, I liked watching her on below deck, but I fell in love with their personality on Twitter. And I was like, oh, my God, Kate, like, I tweet too and she's like okay bitch everyone has a Twitter come down I'm like I love your tweets and then we followed each other at the time I remember you were like I don't even know how Instagram works I don't I don't really care like I remember you were having like an Instagram issue but you followed me and then we've just like been best buds ever since my Instagram issue yeah I mean I I'm not going into TikTok Hannah you're not going to make me

I have my boundaries girl I did it during the dark dark dark period I do I did it during the dark dark periods of quarantine. I won't make you. I won't make you do TikTok. I was what I'm asking you. I feel like you low-key are using reverse psychology and want me to make you do TikTok. Well, it's full circle, Hannah,

because when I first met you, apparently I was having an existential Instagram crisis. That was three or four years ago we met. Then, what did we do? I had you on Britain now. Yes, well, you were so funny at that Betches interview. And, like, you know, doing press days.

You meet a lot of people and you, like, answered a lot of questions. But you were so funny. I was like, I like her. So then I followed you and I was like, wow, she is funny. She is Twitter. And Twitter is different. Twitter's difficult. But it is a different monster.

I call it an exchange rate. Like, there's an exchange rate for followers. Like, Twitter, it's hard to get a lot of followers because you can't count on filters. You have to, like, use your words and your wit. And it's like a toilet bowl. It's a toilet bowl of social media. Yeah, people can't just, like, easily like stuff or easily follow. They have to comprehend your words.

They don't just see, like, a pretty face and the go like. They have to read it. They have to then relate to it. They have to then explain to their friends why it's funny. It is a deep exchange. I mean, it's like the current day, pen pals. It's beautiful. It's romantic.

But I think it's more respectful or respectable to have a Twitter following, you know? I totally agree. Well, people have a Twitter following. You're like, they're either smart or funny, which are two great qualities. Smart, funny, rich, or famous. True. All goals. All goals.

But so much has changed since I've seen you. I had you on Burning Hell. You were hilarious because I remember you were like another press day. I think you were drinking wine. And we were, of course. And we talked about how you did not have a sense of smell. And like, as a gassy person, I was like, oh, my God, I can see myself spending a lot of time with this person and we just laugh the whole time right me it's just a funny noise i mean

it serves me well i don't know about the people hang out with me you know i think it's better the best for me but that's fine you don't even know what a fart smells like just a funny sound i love it and then you told me that you always date gay guys accidentally but that they're um they mostly dress as pirates and that's how you can tell they're gonna be gay well no i mean that's a red flag because, listen, ladies, gentlemen, cis genders, non-sist genders, everyone, if you're dating a man and he's like, so I was saying for my birthday, I'm going to have a pirate party, you know, he might be a little bit gay. I mean, it's eyeliner. It's eyeliner, and then it's also kind of like long hair and accessories. Did you see Luke on? It's like the least

drag drag. Did you see Luke on Summerhouse dressed as a pirate? Just I am. Did you watch it? No, I've been a little busy in the pandemic. You're such a cunt. I'm sorry, listen. I stand by my, there's a few like indicators I have for people.

I'm not a judgmental person. Yes, you are. I'm a sociologist. Oh, okay, okay. I'm judgmental. I mean, I will be. I can be, But also, it comes down to science. Like, everything you know the difference between a daffodil and a rose is you're like, one looks like this, one looks like that. So same with humans.

And if a guy wants to dress like a pirate recreationally, he probably likes dick. And I know that you've gotten involved with gay guys. You've gotten involved with women as well. Do you like a little feminine energy? I think the one, by the way, that I got involved with. I have a hunch. that they were gay yeah so you're saying you weren't hooking up with other straight women for fun no i call them lesbian sharks

what is a lesbian shark please explain okay so a lesbian shark is a lesbian likes a straight girl and they like circle around and they're like they love the challenge uh-huh and it's like you're nemo you've got half a thing right oh i've just and they're like circling and they're like just come here a little fishy and then they go in for the kill and you're like oh they wait for a little blood to come out during your period when you're a little emotional and insecure there but you know so lesbian sharks are like the real lesbians and um so you like masculine women and feminine men i'm like miley cyrus you are you are the bravo marly cyrus i love that for me

The question is, so many Reve Leverties have had music videos. When are you going to have? I can see you doing like a funny rap video. Right? Like Nicole Ritchie style, Quibi? Yes. Yes.

I can see that for you. Oh my gosh. Let's drop a beat. Let's make a bop. Remember when we did our tip? Not now, but like later. Oh, hell yeah. I just want a booty, like, pop in the background of your video

and I imagine it on a yacht. Oh my God. I can't wait till we can do that. I'm going on a floor. I want to hug trees. I want to twerk on trees, Hannah. You're like, I want ground. I want non-moving ground. Land lover. Land lover. So after we met, we loved each other, we did a show with Watcher Crappins. That was so much fun. And I just

remember, like, being on a high with you guys. And afterwards, we just talk shit in the green room as we do. And then I found out that you're done. You are done doing reality TV. Yeah, you've moved on. Well, I think I announced that I was done with Below Deck. You were done with below deck. Yeah. And were you sad? Were you happy? What was the emotion?

I only did below deck because I had already done yawning for six years. And when I started below deck, it was a pretty new show. Every in the Yachting industry said, if you do that reality show, your yachting career will be over. I was like, you promise? You promise me. Can I get that in writing? So, like, I love.

loved Bravo. So I was like, perfect. It's like a nice little seamless transition. It only took six years. But I just don't want to wear a sport anymore. And I just, I love the part of below deck where it was like sitting in a chair and talking shit about my castmates. Yes. The one-liners. Yes, you know, I love interview times. So I just like would like to do more of that and less of the manual labor. And then it's seemed like because you were done with it but bravo immediately when they announced it they were like but there's other projects in the works there's other projects in the works and you basically were told like we still want to work with you so you got this serious show with andy unapologetically kate that you did during quarantine which was a bitch probably because you were not in a studio

first time ever doing it you had no energy of like i had zero energy to be honest Hannah since the pandemic has hit my career has been thriving more than ever because people are desperate i don't know so with that that advantage also because this disadvantage is because i'm turning into a one-woman production studio mail me equipment do you know how hard it is to construct a green screen difficult holy fuck um very difficult that that project almost didn't happen they're like kate if you could run a whole yacht You can figure out this green screen. It mailed me a suitcase that could have a human body in it.

Like with two laminated piece of paper, and it was like, Sanitase wipes, and I was, they're, like, put it together. I was like, what? This is a problem. You showed that you're good at doing things and that you're, like, a competent human from your show. My show, no one asked me to do shit. My show, people are like, did you pee? Like, did you have breakfast? Like, are you so smart, Hannah.

You're so smart. And this is what I wanted to tell. all of your listeners take advice from hannah always give like the level not a plus you know just keep it average because then they expect just the bare minimum and then if you can do like b plus and then you do a little b and they forget that's what i say with blow drops like i never go full hard a plus in the beginning people people give me that reaction too i'll like make it feel good but i'm not going to go for like as long as i can until they come like i'm going to go for like as long as i can until they come like I'm going to give up before they come no I'm not going for like six minutes or seven minutes

no unless you're not Venmo I mean unless there's a Venmo involved no I'm just saying that that's a full job no that's a warm up yeah completion is a gift privilege privilege anniversary present what's your opinion on like doing wifie duties like how long does it take you in a relationship to start doing wifey duties like you know picking up his plate after he eats and shit like that um never i mean i'll probably do it out of habit but i'm gonna sit on i'm gonna sit on my hands as long as possible yeah train them from the beginning like children and dogs you know same a hundred percent Good habit. I'm like now living with Des and I'm realizing like men really, I don't know what they did

before women. Okay, so that's why I want to, why did you ask me that? How quickly did you live into wifie duties? Well, this is my thing. I've never done wifie duties. I'm like, I'm realizing that karma's hitting me because I'm messy. I'm sloppy. I never do shit.

I make guys do my laundry. I make guys do everything. That's what I loved because I've never found a guy with like, balance and respect either like i he respected me too much or i respected him too much but now doesn't i respect each other the same and i like want to do things for him and i've never had this happen to me and he said i could stay at his house for a bit bitch i was buying candles and throw pillows second day i bought a furry throw pillow because it was really soft kate i don't know what this side is to me it's like my my ovaries are tingling i've never had this happen to me and

I'm turning into, it's like, this new person, and he, like, is fine with it, but I'm like, I didn't know I had this in me. I cleaned up after him yesterday out of pure, like, just animalistic, like, I don't know who I am. That's what I'm saying. I don't have to sit on my hands. I'm ended up doing it, but I would like them to at least try it first for a while, but the fact that you're, listen. I think he's the first guy that's been marriage material that I've dated. That's why. 100%. Like, I've never even smelled marriage material, and now that I am. I am becoming a robot of like, I'm becoming domesticated. Like, I don't know, I don't, I can't even look at myself in the mirror.

I know that this show is supposed to be called Burning in Hell. Honey, you're in love. You are in love. I've also gained 10 pounds because we order takeout every night and we're just like, yeah, let's get the barata. Yeah, like, we're just like in love. Beginning for months of a relationship where it's just. Just get fat and sassy. And delivery.

Text and delivery. It's like, you want to have sense of it? Yeah. And then you like. It's almost like sports. You're like, okay, ready? We need a carbload. We need a carbload.

See, I didn't play sports, but thank you. I was a cheerleader. I was like, get it, carblood, yay. And then you go back for the second quarter. They're like, half time. Okay, now we're getting the pizza. And then you go, keep going. It's like a very fun marathon.

I do want to say, you have been very supportive of me and Des. You've done your own research and you've sent me multiple. very nice texts about it and I really appreciate it I'm a good friend you know you like you didn't have to like care about it and you've gone out of your way to be like hey like I'm happy for you and that makes me smile do you have any warnings or you're what I will say that Luke guy that just wanted to dress like a pirate I did not look him up I could tell it was different with this one I that's why I looked into it I'm like okay this is it seems a little different and when I look

with his Instagram and his stand-up and you're a stand-up comedian. It's just really cute. I love it when the pot finds its lid. I mean, we'll see because we are testing ourselves immediately. Like we did a volleyball tournament yesterday, which people say you don't just like play competitive sports that you're not that good at with their significant other. Like we've, we installed a bed together already and we get into, we haven't fought that much, but we got to, I'm just not afraid to say how I feel around him and I've dated a lot of guys where I just bite my tongue and then wait like seven months and then go I hate everything about this and you and I'm fucking done and they're like what and I'm like yeah read my mind next time you wanted to watch the history channel and that time

six months ago I'm still what's her name so here's the thing though how long you guys been dating like how long okay so we've only we've been dating for three months but we've only spent five weeks physically together. Oh, that's the best. Because, like, when we're in Juliet, like, oh, we can't, like, the beginning, we're, like, infatuated, but, oh, so far, but so close.

So then you guys reunited. It's like, yes, finally. My thing is, if we're going to fail, let's fail fast. Yeah, let's figure it out. I feel like some people don't move in because they're like, oh, there might be issues. I want to see what those issues are ASAP. Because if it's not going to work out, let's...

Here's my theory. You know, like, you usually in dating. They're like, let's go to a nice restaurant, have a nice bottle of wine. Like, I can have fun with anyone over a gorgeous meal and a gorgeous bottle of wine. Mm-hmm. I do have all myself. Have a great time. First date should be the DMV.

I'm obsessed with that. It sounds like actually a new reality show that you need a host. It's called first date at the DMV and whoever survives gets married. License to love. Yes. Oh my God. Kate, write that down. Oh, my God.

Andy, where are you? Andy. Andy, go in. But here's why. Because if you can have fun at the DMV with someone, you know you can get through anything. And then you work your way up to the nice dinners. Or go grocery shopping or go to Target and get your toilet paper and shampoo. Because at the end of the day, once the infatuation wears off, you're going to end up meeting like, do we need double-plied toilet paper? You want two and one shampoo? You need to know if you can have fun doing the mundane thing. He let me smell every single candle at home goods, and it took like nine minutes. Well, he didn't even understand like home goods, and I was like, I'm from Brooklyn, so I didn't really understand it that well, but I knew from Twitter that it's like a religion, and then I started to see the price points, and I was like, I am, and then like when you, she's checking your post

right now, when you, he was like, I don't want to wait in that long line. I go, honey, the line is the best part. It's the journey. It's the journey. The line of home goods is the equivalent to the DMV, same, same. For everything, I'm like, do we need that? Do we want that? Do we need that? You guys are engaged. Florida terms, taking Amanda HomeGoods, you guys are engaged. There are some guys who get annoyed real easy early on, and I was testing him a little, and he was, like, laughing, and I was being a little annoying, and he was, like, shrugging it off,

and I was like, okay. So what do you think he's done that's tested you? Like, what's his version of home goods? He's like, so I did take her here. He made me do a six-hour volleyball tournament yesterday. But you're a good nice player. No, I know, but like... I know how comfortable you are with balls.

I'm very comfortable with balls. Handling them in all shapes and forms. Couple activities are cute until you, like, go too far with them. I just learned how to play volleyball, and I was pretty good. Signs me up for, like, an advanced volleyball tournament. And we played eight matches from 9.30 a.m. And he knows I don't do the morning until 2.30. It was a test.

Was it on the beach? Yes, on the beach. Oh, God. He didn't get enough water for us. I was parched. I mean, two, three games would have been perfect for me, but he was having so much fun. Did we have a couple scuffles? Did I tell him, he was like telling me I had to move two inches.

And I was like, I have bigger issues than moving two inches on this court. On the sand court. And we installed an IKEA bed together. How'd that go? Well. We were like saying that like, oh, my God, we didn't fight. And at the very end, I was like, this shit was fucking easy. And then we realized we did something backwards.

How did you find out the bed was broken, Hannah? We were going so perfectly. And then we found out we didn't. Then we were clearing the house because my parents are coming today. Oh. Have they been there yet? No. Oh, you had to go to home goods.

Oh, we had to. It was an emergency situation. My mom's coming to help design. He was like, can't you do it without your mom? and I go, why not have an expert? Why not bring an expert in? It's called outsourcing Des. It's called a call-a-friend, Des.

But I want to know from you, because Des is 44, and I'm so, I'm obsessed with him. And age is almost like made it so much better. What's the oldest guy or person you've ever been with? Oh, so in my hometown here, I've never talked about him on below deck, but way before that. It's been 10 years off and on. He's 19 years older. I thought you were going to say he's 19 years old I was like sweetie

I don't go younger Hannah I don't go younger 19 years 19 years older but he looks I mean he has like a pretty big penis trust fund the only thing bigger than his

trust fund is his wiener yes for George Clooney rich trust fund oh yes and I like the power that like you can fuck him but you also could probably fuck his son if you wanted to

sure if he had children well he doesn't have children that's amazing no no because I think when people when people inherit money their brain stops developing age 16 because it doesn't have to anymore like they're like oh oh I don't so I just I don't have to worry about consequences anymore you don't have to like figure anything out nothing what do you like his stress fun and his penis no no I don't we're over him yeah but it was just like pandemic, small town. You know, I'm recycle.

Recycling's healthy. It is. Convenience has a value, is what I will say. But, Kate, since we got you on here, I wanted to promote our new show, but we obviously ramble all over the fucking place. We're still in your introduction right now, by the way, 20 minutes. This is not hell? Are you sure?

This is not in hell. I might not in hell. Oh, so you guys, Kate has, like, these gorgeous sunglasses on this whole time. It's just an iconic look. I said she's the Florida of Rachel Zoe. So she did unapologetically, Kate. It's a little word need to say. That's, I didn't, I agree.

I was like, you know what I love about unapologetically? You know what I love about that word? It's impossible to say. It's so unapologetically full of vowels. Before 9 a.m., I'd just be like, nope. Welcome to Kate. And wait, what did you like doing radio? Radio was actually here, I had these grand visions, like after Below Jack.

I was like, radio, that's right. I really was looking for it. I was like, I can wear sweatpants. I predicted the pandemic, basically. I was like, I could do it from my house. I can wear pajamas. And I can have my dog with me. Well, then that's how it went down because they just mailed me equipment.

You manifested it. I know. It's a secret. I'm unapologetically manifestation, I don't know, it's almost all broke. And I just feel like it was so much more difficult than I expected. As with most new endeavors, you think, I got this, I got this. And then you get there, you're like, fake it till I make it. And I think I have so much more respect for live.

Holy moly, when they are counting down the seconds till you go live. and you're not a guest on the show you're the driver it is like you are going into space and you are driving the space shuttle and you're like what to the moon by myself because then we're not so we're going to count down from 30 seconds but at 10 we're going to stop talking to you and it's up to you don't fuck it up yeah good have a great show and 12 11 10 you're like oh god and then to like hey I'm super comfortable here alone in my kitchen so I loved it so that shows

not happening anymore right well and also because of the pandemic they had people outsourced and it was I was zooming with people we were all learning together perhaps when I go back to the city I think the door is open but I don't know if I it had its little run it did its thing

and now we'll see in the future when I like a podcast better would you like to do live radio? I know someone. I know a slot. Girl, I mean, I did live radio with Nikki Glazer. Her show. Powerhouse. Powerhouse. You two need a meet me. You'd love each other. I wonder if she watches Blow Deck. But anyway, yeah, she's very into reality TV, but she, yeah, she'd do two hours every morning after doing stand-up all night. And I was like, are you okay? And she's like, I'm not okay. So that's how we bonded. Because we're both not okay. But then- I can be part of this club. So then you get this watch with Kate thing with Blomette.

So is that like traumatizing to you? Is it fun for you because you just sit back and make comments? Or is it like reminding you of all the turmoil that you've experienced? So I'll be above, but I don't trust anybody that has like a super healthy background or childhood. I'm like, oh, no trauma? Like I'm not sure we're going to get along. No. So I feel it's healthy.

just like, you know, trust on people. They, like, their brains don't form. So I like challenges. And they offered me to do it for blowdeck sailing, which I was happy to do. It was super fun because basically, it's my favorite part of below deck without the manual labor. Yeah, it's like you were always the voice of it. And now you're like officially, like, what does Kate think? Audience avatar, voice of reason, or voice of snark.

I mean, you've made a career. out of making wise cracks about other people, you know? That's why we get along. I know. There's something in the word snark that you could, I feel like, could be good for a show. Anyway. Yeah. So then you did below deck med.

That is a shit show. Oh, man. Oh, man. Honestly, if I could never even hear that phrase again, it would be great. Do you ever feel pressure to, like, take a certain side, or you just always give your truth? I said I was unbiased although people don't think that I promise I was unbiased I feel like you didn't you talk shit about Hannah you talked about Kiko I was like no I talk shit about all of them I think they're all assholes and I think they're all morons okay like I don't think

I think they're they all I love you so much oh I love you so much about that whole season It's a sinking ship, get in a life raft. I mean, no. Do you think that it's compared to any seasons you've had? Or is it like a whole different type of animal this last season of below deck? I think that's below deck in general is it become a bigger animal. I think when I started, it was just one original. I mean, it gets pretty good ratings to show.

It's a genius concept. It's a confined environment. So that already is a pressure croaker. And then you've got the chart. getting in and out. It's also aspirational because it shows the charter gas. It's exotic locales, but it's also work. Work. pressed out. I mean, it's like the perfect recipe for good TV. You know who's so, oh, wait, continue. But what they, the problem is, we're also working on a yacht, which is like kind of dangerous. So. High pressure, though, high pressure. If someone makes

mistake, serious repercussions. Oh, I mean, the fear of being fired is like a great motivator. So then they got Mediterranean franchise and then a sailing franchise and then the season like there are only so many qualified they're going to have a kayaking franchise oh my gosh I have I have sent gifts I'm like is this the next one um it's like it's just a canoe it just me and you in a canoe drinking wine we got it like the surf style tourist blew it up and or whatever but I just feel like you know the show's been going on for a while and they've got a lot of franchises and I'm not sure if it happened yet but it might happen soon like you're going to start scraping the bottom of the barrel of like qualified yachties

that want to do the show like well there's a lot of people I think they might do it for a year and be like I can do it well like summer every other Bravo show pretty much maintains a core cast yeah well Jack has a revolving door which makes it great however for you who was a consistent person like what six plus years you haven't I don't know how you did it because the new cast member is always the one that stresses everyone out the most like you can watch housewives because they're immediately trying to get the attention they have no idea how anything works they like some of them have an ego to them some of them are just like so high anxiety and you feel terrible for them the whole time like it's really because you remember when it was

your first time you have to deal with that with what six plus people every year's single season? How did you do that? Not even that, but like, they also suck at the actual job. Like, it doesn't matter. I can't tolerate anybody for a long enough time. And they don't show a lot of the work. So sometimes you will be like, this person sucks at their job, but we're like, they're folding towels. Like, how are they that bad? I'm worried about says at 3.30 p.m. Does it seem like, you know, if I'm not getting paid, if I'm not on a yacht, I'm not living a real strict life but that was what like there was so much work that literally had to be done it was like I feel like a lot of the episodes or a lot of the seasons should have been called like let's put a bunch

of assholes on a boat with Kate and see how she reacts season four but then there's also a positive that there's like fresh new assholes to smell each season where like I'm stuck with the same ones every season at some point you're like every new season brings a new asshole to smell wait who's do you think was like the hottest guy you've ever worked with on all your seasons? I mean, that's hard. I just, I've hooked up so many. I never hooked up on camera. How was that for you? Um, never sober. But actually, kissing on camera sober is so weird. Yeah. Because, like, there's grown men watching you kiss. It's kind of like your cousin is like right there. Yeah. And it's not it's like tongue kissing and I always pull away early like I can't I can't I can't get to it to

I have banged on camera too huh I've banged in a bathroom where I put the faucet on I put the shower on and they still somehow heard my breathing and then they they heard luke go down on me where I was moaning screaming yelling I just went off it was great wow okay so it's not total pirate but we put a t-shirt over the camera, so we kind of felt like, well, they can't see us. So then I just kind of had fun. Hannah, Hannah, Hannah. That is the rookie mistake. The moment you put something over the camera is the moment the control room's like, they're doing something that we don't want to see. Actually, Courtney Skippon, is that how you pronounce her name? Yes. So she, I watched her on your season. She's so funny and sweet on Instagram with me. Like, I don't even know her and she would

like my stuff or she would like comment on our stuff. When she posted a story for our new show, Bravo's chat room last night, she said, I love. She said, I love you, Kate Chassain, but then she also said, hi, Hannah. We like funny, DM. What is this? I mean, I'm not jealous, but kind of. She's almost, like, emerging as a mini Kate because she tweeted, she tweeted something funny about Summer House, basically how she, like, fucking hates us.

See, I would have tweeted that so many years ago, but I was trying to be polite. Yeah, she basically, yeah, was like, Wait, I did this all wrong. Summer House just gets hammered and doesn't have to do any work. I was played. I played myself. Summer House, where it's at, they do no work. All I do is hang on a man.

They make us, like, clean up our parties, and we all are like, what? And we're all like, oh, or like, in the morning, we have to, like, do the dishes. And we're like, this is prison. This is prison with a pool. I don't feel bad for you, but I know what you feel like. Well, because we're like, housewives don't have to, like, fucking clean up their fucking crazy parties where them, they're like, you're in a summer house. You have to clean up. And we're like, we normally hire people. And they're like, no, clean up. That's what I said in my first season, because clean up a huge party of 100 people. I'm fine cleaning out my room. I might have a day. And if I'm making good money, I'm going to be like, hey, I'm going to go to the pool. I'm going to pay somebody else. Exactly. Outsource. Outsourcing is just smart. It's not worth my time, especially because I'm terrible at cleaning. my first season I paid some locals we were in Tortola

a bunch of cash I didn't understand how reality TV worked I was I'm just to do my thing I guess you're going to report it but I had another like rules like no you can't just walk off the boat I disappeared the first day for like two miles so first rule everyone welcome to filming you can't just leave okay waiting for three hours like does anyone know where the chiefs do is and I was like marching down the island I just was used to freedom um well now you do have a new form of freedom yeah you are locked in your florida rental however we have a new show bravo's chat room and you not only are one of the stars of the show but you're

a producer on it and we're very involved in it being created i was just as surprised as you were when it said executive producer but i'm so thrilled because that sounds extra she's like now that it came out and we love it. I would love to be an executive producer. I did so true yesterday. Are you so excited for the premiere? I don't know what you're talking about. I was like, I don't know. I don't know. I'm not my show, not my problem. But it's so cute. I love how it turned out. Yeah. So basically, I've always loved Bravo. What was your favorite Bravo shows? Well, Rachel Zoe was my favorite. I'm much older than you. I don't, you're probably playing tennis when you were like six, Rachel Zoe and Brad Boreski, and it was like the days when Bravo

was first, like, getting its legs. I think Queer Eye had just come out, and then it was like very artistic. It was like Jonathan Anton Blowout, hairstylist, and queer eyes, it was very much creative. I love the glitz and the glamour. It's very aspirational network. So then when I heard below deck was going to be on Bravo, I was like, I don't even care what show it is, put me on. Yeah. And I've always loved also Fashion Police on E. And I've always loved also Fashion Police on E. I I feel like E and Bravo or, you know, sisters. Sister planets, yeah. And I was sad when fashion police went away because basically it was just a bunch of funny people sitting around and like, did you see what she wore?

Well, nowadays you can't call people ugly, I guess. But you wouldn't say I would not have gone with the red sequin jumpsuit. I mean, like, fashion police like isn't a thing anymore. It's like, I feel like, I guess people are too sensitive that you can't be like hot or not. like you can't say that people are not here's right i think the difference between being judgmental and a sociologist i don't ever like to comment on something that somebody was born with only their choices yes an outfit is a choice so you made that choice so i'm gonna cut like because you can change it to you know yeah our brains are always evolving and your brain needs to

evolve or not or maybe not but like anything that they were born with i'm not going to be like god can you believe she has brown eyes like no you know like just anything they choose behavior is i think open to conversations anyways so i just felt like bravo needed a show like that about two years ago and i wanted it to be have like the most dynamic iconic cool celebrity bravo people but they all live in different areas of the world like l-a alanta potomac new york florida texie all over the place and a producer said two years ago she was psychic she was like what if we had them like call in like CNN correspondence in like small windows I was like that's so clever she's like what if we purposely created a disease that no one could leave their house and the rest

is history well it's amazing because we did some chemistry to us and like I was just honored to be asked, but, like, I knew me and you, like, hit it off always. And then I was always texting you, and I was like, do you think they're going to like me? Or do you think this show is going to get greenlit? And you were just, like, girl, like, I feel good. Obviously, I don't want to get your hopes up and whatever, but you're like, I feel good about it. No, I'm pretty sure I told you from the beginning. I was like, girl, you're definitely top, top pick, number one draft. I couldn't, like, fully believe you, though, because I'm like you, like, I'm a Bravo fan. Two years ago, I got on Bravo. I literally fell off and just suddenly on my

on a Bravo talk show like it's really crazy but you're right that you were telling me this is my passion like comedy and talking and podcast that's my passion um so the fact that you've given me that kind of outlet makes me so happy because i'm used to doing reality tv and getting my entire personal life torn apart to just go on and make people laugh and get edited nicely was like the best me and you both were like i'm like me and i don't have to wear a blue polo shirt or like live on a boat for six weeks i could look gorgeous no like to be edited like that like they literally cut down like everything that wasn't perfect on us yes i was like i look great and i didn't appreciate how how you really look great halfway there i was like they put a filter on me

actually my mom told me that i just i'm like have a very false sense of confidence in myself. I have reverse body dysmorphy and I was like, I'm gorgeous and I'm gorgeous and honestly, I think I said five times like, I didn't use a lot of self-tanner guys. I went live right after and looked at my face and I was like, who is this bitch on Instagram live? Because that's not the one who was on TV just now. You should edit all this out. We really are that gorgeous and we really are that charming. We are. We are that charming. So I'm just so excited about it. I want to wrap this up, but with a final game. Okay. And it's called heaven or hell. Heaven or hell. So I'm going to give you options. Tell me which one's heaven, which one's hell.

Okay. Living with your mom during the pandemic or working on a yacht. Living with my mom during pandemic is heaven. Working on a yacht is hell. Okay. Dating an ugly guy with a great personality or dating a hot girl with an annoying personality. Ew, ugly guy. Good personality. Is heaven? I'm the hot girl. You like being the hot one? Yeah, that's why I like the lesbian sharks, yeah.

I already know the answer to that one. Okay, being a chef or being second stew? Ooh, good one. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen, the chef is hell. Because you've got no worries, no responsibilities, but you go experience heaven. True, and then you're just like, oh, I didn't know. No, my, I'm not the boss. Okay. Choking during sex, a romantic slow sex. You know what I always say? Kevin for the climate

hell for the company. I don't know what that means. Kevin for the climate, it's nice there, but all the fun people are in hell. You're right. You're right. We know what she, we know what she needs. That should be your new podcast, Logan. Heaven for the climate health of the company. I'm obsessed with that. Also with your shades on saying that, you just seem like a CEO. I look like Satan. You look like Satan as a CEO with a jewel. FaceTiming or phone call? I mean, FaceTime is obviously worse. But your facial expressions are the fucking best or your lack of.

Exactly. But I've gotten more into FaceTime since the pandemic. So I don't know. TBD. I'm in purgatory. I am in FaceTime purgatory. A little pandemic. Wine or vodka?

Oh, wine is having vodka's hellish. Oh, look you're a cat. I get my cat's in the background. That's butter. She's needs attention all the time, like her mom. She's like, mom, it's been over an hour. I know. Last one. Oh, this is easy. Salad or a burger? Hell is a salad. And that's why I fucking love you. Um, finally, we shot Bravo's chat room. And the first episode has aired, but at the time this comes out, the second episode has aired. What are your, like, biggest anxieties about it? What's your, like, favorite parts about it? How do you feel? about the rest of the cast, give me your final thoughts.

So as far as Bravo's chat room goes, I don't know about you, but I am pleasantly surprised. I really feel like we all get along like we're friends. I actually, when we stopped filming the other day, I was like, okay, bye, guys, I miss you. You were like so nice. I was, like, worried about you. I'm like, are you okay? I have been in isolation for a long time, that's true. But I mean, we did a lot of chemistry tests, and we've met a lot of people.

And even zooming with your family members, you're like, okay, put the phone down, bluer witch. But this was like enjoyable and easy. Yes. And I want to hear your thoughts. Well, first of all, I love the aesthetic. It looked, it was its whole different, like, I love saying different animals this podcast. I've never said that in my life, but it's a different animal compared to Watchrepan's Live. Like, the aesthetic is so different.

It's so modern. It's clean. It's, I just love, because I'm very into like making sure that it feels like our vibe. and we were afraid like the music or the graphics could have been just so off and it would have just ruined it. Like there were so many little details that need to be good and I'm telling you I was expecting to just be like we tried our best but it just there's so many little things. I was ready to blame the pandemic.

There's so many little things that had to be right for it to be good. They nailed it. I am so into this show. You guys, if you haven't watched Rava's chat room, it's on at 10.30 p.m. Eastern right after Watch Friends Live. Also, lastly, I got a DM from Andy Cohen. Andy Cohen followed me on Twitter for the first time yesterday. I just wanted to tell Kate, I'm just going to tell you what he said to me.

And he DM me and he said, wait, I'm going to find it. It was pretty amazing. He said, congrats on your first show. I dig it. X-O-X-X-O. X-O. X-O. I nearly died. So, Andy, we will do anything for you.

We will give you all our love. Andy's Angels. I feel like Charlie's Angels. Andy chose us. And we just need... I love that. He said Andy's Angels. I love that so much. We just need to bring him joy by talking all kinds of shit, not holding back. And my only anxiety is, I hope it gets picked off. Well, here's the advice he told me we were talking about at one point. And he said, you know, this isn't a tea party. And I was like, you know, so we're going to disagree with each other. I'm excited for that because one thing we have to remember is we're all reality TV stars. too and the reason we are reality people is because we are unfiltered and we will say our truth

oh god this is how every beginning of the season starts you're like i love this crew i love so much end of season you're like i hate that one i hate that one they're blocking each other so you know early days across that we still have the good vibes um after our sixth episode but also i think we can have, like, mature disagreements. And because it's virtual, like, no one can pull each other's hair out. If I flip a table, I'm only punishing myself. You have to clean it up. There's no producers around. Or nice to PA. Well, Kate, you're the fucking best. I love you so much, and I feel so fortunate to even, like, be on a screen with you. Um, yeah, anything else that you want to promote or where can people follow you? You can follow me at Twitter.

Instagram at kache underscore chastain um and that's it for now y'all hell yeah guys give us your feedback on the talk show and we're going to keep bringing it bravo's chat room i just say the talk show it's right yeah it's new i'm getting used to it but hopefully it becomes a staple um or maybe i just jinxed it but regardless you're so funny so smart as always enjoy your home goods candles with your big you know parents at the boyfriend's house my parents actually just got here That's why I have to leave. Otherwise, I was going to bother you longer. But anyway, Kate, you're the best.

Talk to you tomorrow. Bye, bitch. Bye.
