what is up daddy gang it is your founding father alex cooper with call her daddy
finally we did it we did it we're here how's your mic feeling um what do you mean i can't hear
myself well you but you like is it close enough oh Oh, I mean, it's fine. Listen, normally I do it with headphones.
So it's a little mind-fucky.
So yeah, so I don't feel like I'm doing a real podcast right now.
Should we be doing headphones?
No, I look so much better like this, I think.
You look great. I used to do headphones and I was like, it's giving like more ogre vibe
because it's just like so, well, I'm like just calling you an ogre because you wear
headphones in your podcast. But you know what I'm saying?
No, it does. But I feel like I can't, well what I'm saying no it does but I feel like I can't well I'm not leading this podcast you are I can't lead properly if I can
hear other things oh okay like do you have ADHD I you're like no I mean I used to be addicted to
Adderall but I think I was just abusing it I don't think I actually like no doctor prescribed me
Adderall I did it myself I I did it. That's fair.
I didn't even introduce you.
Stassi Schroeder, welcome to Call Her Daddy.
Thank you.
I'm so excited.
No, like I know everyone says that, but I'm ridiculously excited.
And this room is so chic.
I'm just so obsessed with the color of this.
The way it just is so good. These used to be orange and I got them in here and I was like,
this needs to immediately change.
Like you don't feel Call Her Daddy vibes from this what is that noise a fucking plane oh okay sorry sorry no
because there has been something happening with our air conditioner recently that it sounds
oh it's like and then I don't focus okay that's probably I should be wearing headphones how did
you pick your outfit today we were just talking okay wait no I have to tell you this okay because
I haven't stressed out this much about a fucking outfit.
I can't even tell you.
It was harder to pick an outfit for this right now than it is to like go on tour,
go on a red carpet, fancy outfits.
Because let me explain.
Okay.
I want to match your vibe.
You know, I'm not here to like act like I'm going to some fancy gala.
But you could.
While you're wearing sweatpants and a t-shirt.
But Alex, not everyone looks as cute as you do in sweatpants as a t-shirt.
And when you're pregnant and you feel like you look like a beast, it's extra hard.
So like it would have been easier for me to just like really like find a nice dress or outfit that's chic and nice and cool
like maybe like you know a little bit businessy I don't know whatever but this these are literally
I think this is like ten dollars from H&M it's good no I'm not these are maternity leggings
you walked in and I said I literally didn't notice you were pregnant for a second like I have
questions about you being pregnant but I forgot and I'm not just gassing you up like I think you
look pregnant like pregnant women everywhere need to hear that you know what if you see a pregnant woman on the street just be
like you didn't even look pregnant like you didn't even like it took me a while to realize that's
what we want to hear it's true and like the outfit is great because you were worried like am I sitting
like can you see my belly first of all like let it rock but also it because you're wearing all
black you can't really see it that's what I I'm here for. And the chairs are like, also, who gives a fuck?
You're pregnant.
That's amazing.
I know, but I'm not one of those who, I wish I was one of those women like Rihanna that
like, you know, wears, that has her belly out.
I'm like, God, she looks so good.
There's so many women that look so great like that.
I've never felt that way.
I feel best when I'm in bags.
Okay.
You know.
Well, this bag is looking phenomenal today.
Thank you.
So you're pregnant.
How are you feeling? feeling honestly i feel really good because this pregnancy isn't
during it feels like it's my first pregnancy because my first one was during covid so i
wasn't allowed to leave my house got it you know what i mean so i'm able to live my life
this time around i'm able to work i'm able to travel i'm able to go to restaurants
you know you probably didn't have anyone being like super sweet to you and like holding
the door.
No, I never got that experience.
I never got, you know, and that is like a rite of passage as a pregnant woman to be
treated like a fucking queen.
Wow.
And you didn't get that.
Now I'm getting it.
So I'm just like feeding off of that energy, you know?
Okay.
I do love that for you because I do.
I agree with you.
Pregnancy and COVID obviously probably had pros of like, you don't have to leave the house you can just yeah so when you
did look like a beast it didn't matter no one was there but I'm sure your husband still loved you
so much he says he did oh like we're not divorced yet so how does he handle your pregnancy like what
is he like when you're pregnant I mean he really is great like he I really did luck out with that but he can't like he says that he's like I give you compliments all
the time I tell you how beautiful you are I want to have sex with you all the time I'm always coming
after you and I'm like it doesn't matter I need to hear those things from other women I need to
hear I look beautiful from other women I need the compliments from other women he tries so hard
to make me feel good about myself
and of course I want my husband to desire me and want me and think I'm beautiful and all those
things but there's just something about a compliment from another woman that really is what
like feeds my soul that's what keeps me going no I get what you're saying it's like there's
a difference between like men objectifying us we're like we get it and like obviously some men
also like love when women are pregnant too no Bo's like that oh so Bo is like I look I wish I
I mean I'm yeah you talk about sex a lot yeah I don't know why I don't wait I don't know why
this is brain fog sorry sorry brain fog yeah no he's like I want to like I love your pregnant
body it's so sexy I love when you change in front of me I love all this and I just feel gross so I'm
just like no I mean thank god because imagine if I like he was somebody who no who didn't like a
pregnant body that is actually something I've thought about I've heard women say like he really
just like wasn't into the pregnancy thing and in my mind I'm like I don't know if I could be with
a partner that doesn't at least fucking fake it but I guess you could probably tell if they fake it you totally like Matt like my partner I don't even
I'm not pregnant and I pray to God I can get pregnant but like if I get pregnant all he talks
about is like oh my god like I don't know how I'm gonna control myself and I'm like what what yes
but see at least you have that so like it doesn't matter what what side effects like pregnancy side effects like he will still be so into you but at the same time it's a burden because I don't feel sexual
whatsoever at all that's like I was gonna ask you like how do you handle like I think women are
great online that talk about their pregnancy but there's a little too much glamorization from what
I've heard from some moms of like it's's not all fucking great. And sometimes you feel like
shit about yourselves. And sometimes it's like not the sexiest that you're feeling. And so like,
can you talk about the real shit of like, how are you feeling with your sex life? Oh my God. No,
my sex, I literally have zero sex drive, but I will say that I am a champion and I take one for
the team in my household and I don't let it go like a week and
a half like I will if I've if it's like a week and you know three days I'm like I should probably do
this like I'm being selfish right now poor Mo no but I think that's so relatable and I feel like
people don't like to talk about that of like sometimes you gotta just and it's different if
you're like hooking up with a random guy and you're like I guess I have to sleep with him no
no this is your husband it's your relationship sometimes you're like I'm
aware I have no sex drive I still love you and I'm attracted to you and I want him to feel good
about himself and it does bond us it's like once we do it I'm like oh I'm so glad I did this I
should do this more isn't that the worst with sex you're like if sometimes you're two in your head
or you have no sex drive that month or whatever it is you're like I literally can't even get myself there I know I love him but like I'm not there and then afterwards you're two in your head or you have no sex drive that month or whatever it is, you're like, I literally can't even get myself there.
I know I love him, but like I'm not there.
And then afterwards you're like, we should do that more.
And they're like, fuck you.
I know.
Fuck you.
I literally ask you all the time.
I know.
Sometimes it just takes like going through the act.
Yes.
100%.
Yes.
Okay.
Do you have like an alter ego when you're pregnant?
This is how I think of myself.
Okay.
Um, I, when I'm pregnant, I feel like I'm, I'm Santa.
I'm not joking.
I just feel like this round, jolly being.
Like, what is it all to your ego?
So he's like, so I'm Santa.
Through and through.
Like, don't get it.
No, like, for real.
Like, I look in the mirror and I'm like, everything's round and I'm just jolly.
And I'm just, you know, I'm so excited about the baby that, that like, and I'm like everything's round and I'm just jolly and I'm just you know I'm so
excited about the baby that that like and I'm sober so like you don't I don't get depressed
that easily when I'm pregnant right right you're not like having the up and down of like getting
hammered one night waking up like regretting your life backing up you are like the queen of OOTDs
like I remember literally like back in the day like everyone would start hashtagging
it but you really like owned it you're like this is my motherfucking outfit of the day
I bought a national holiday it's what a waste of money yeah honestly that's so cringe you actually
bought it you have to buy it you don't just get to like own holidays for free Alex like how much
did it cost is this gonna be embarrassing it's so embarrassing I think it was like forty thousand
dollars no it it was no it's so embarrassing and you guys I would not do it
again okay I would never just throw away that money to have a holiday but at the time I was
like oh this is good branding I was just in like business mode my book was coming out I'm like I
think that this is good branding so it's like I'm putting money into my career that's how I felt but no I mean hold on what exactly that
feels like when people buy like a fucking star in the sky can't we all just honestly like that
one's fine like what day is it it's it's June 30th okay and it's not like on all of our calendars
like Apple didn't upload like so how do we even know you own it like what was the point of buying well so can i tell you something that like you own it for a year and i didn't know that and so the next year
came around and they were like all right you gotta pay for it again or like the dude i think it was
just the same amount of money i'm like you're out of your fucking mind this is a lifetime commitment
that you think i'm gonna spend this every year year. So now technically, I think on the list, if you were to like search the list, my name isn't even up there anymore,
but everyone on Instagram, it's already been hashtagged and all of that. Do you really think
you had to buy it? They thought I would like, honestly, Alex, I like $40,000. I'm so embarrassed.
I'm so embarrassed. No, I think it's, I don't care if people come for me because like I deserve to be come for.
I agree.
But I think it also gives, though, a little bit of credit to like you really were committed
and like you are.
To the OOTG.
I also just can't believe it was $40,000 for a year.
Yeah.
No, a year.
Maybe not the best business decision.
No.
But I respect it.
You loved it.
You know who I respect?
The people who came up with this business who I respect the people who came up
with this business I those people who are just who are like you know what I'm gonna own a national
social media calendar how does one get the authority and were you just like a little
miss like googling like how do I get my own day and like I think I asked like my agents or my
publicist and I was like how do I find my own holiday? And they were like, I want one.
Okay.
Well, this does go give you credibility.
Why?
I don't know.
I just feel like you, that gives you some type of credibility.
Like in the fashion world, like you're giving, like you're, you're dedicated.
First of all, the fashion world, they don't say OOTD.
No, you're right.
You are.
I just literally ostracized myself from the fashion world.
You're like
never getting invited to anything 100 but you like fashion I love it yeah okay what clothing
staple did you used to wear that you would not be caught dead in now like what's something that
you were like oh I fucking love this shit now you're like huh statement necklaces I rode so
hard for statement I remember that you know what they will come back again not in the way
that I wore them before but I mean like they weighed me down like they were it was like they
were battle like to wear into battle like the plates of armor like it was it's insane if you
look back on like Vanderpump Rules interviews I'm like who how did I think that that like your whole chest that it was that was the
outfit but it will come back that's what like I was gonna ask you like what's a trend that you're
like so not into but I don't really care about trends because I'm like it always comes back
yeah it's not an actual trend it's like this is fashion and it's just what's in what's not sure
but like it's gonna come back it does it always It always comes back. And you know, now I'm to the point, God, I love Gen Z. I really do. I really appreciate them because they
have this like anything goes mentality about fashion and clothing that I just really fucking
love because I feel like while they do follow trends, they don't. At the same time, it's kind
of like just express yourself and wear what you feel comfortable in and what you like and and I've found what I what looks I like and whether they're dated or not I kind of don't
care and Gen Z gave me permission so you know what I agree with that because I feel like back
in the day when I was growing up if you didn't have like the double popped Abercrombie polo with
like the lace and like the denim skirt and the leggings and then you're like you're a loser who were you
nobody exactly you were a loser you weren't in the in crowd and so like I remember begging my mom
like I know this is so expensive but like this is literally for my social equity like I'm not
going to be respected on dress down days if I can't wear this 100 no one actually cares that
much anymore no one cares you can get away with so much and what a glorious time to live in you're
right and everyone loves a dupe like everyone's like down for like if it's real actually people
are like that's like nasty yeah like why are you spending money yeah like why are you buying
national holidays like that's but that's giving the same energy wait can i just say this yeah okay
so when you were in milan you were there for prada right yeah i was just talking to my hair and makeup
person about this i was like alex and prada is such a good like mix and vibe and relationship.
You are such a good Prada girly.
So like I hope that that like keeps going.
That keeps going and just like builds into just like something bigger.
Because that was like, I would not have thought that.
Me either.
Until I saw your photo.
Me either.
Me either.
Stop it.
Well, because I just see you just being casual and everything.
But then I saw you in your looks.
I'm like, yes.
I really appreciate that because I will say I was nervous because I, too, never envisioned
like what fashion house would I like jive with the most.
Yeah.
And when I found the Prada moment, it felt so me and I actually felt so comfortable and
confident, which like I never fucking going into these type events feel confident because I found the Prada moment it felt so me and I actually felt so comfortable and confident which
like I never fucking going into these type events feel confident because I'm like I'm a poser like
I don't wear this shit all the time yeah but now Prada I've started to like buy my own shit from
Prada and be like I actually feel like if I'm dressing up Prada feels right for me no it does
it like it really fit well I loved it this is like a really random fact that I learned on Selling Sunset.
And I don't know if it's true for every woman.
So I need to ask you this.
OK.
On Selling Sunset, there was a woman that's pregnant.
And it was her first time being pregnant.
Right.
And she was asking advice from other moms.
And the other mom was like, oh, by the way, girl, like, yeah, you can't shave your V after
like a certain amount of time.
No, I can't see.
I go rogue.
No, literally.
Like this morning, I just, I guess.
You just guess. I literally feel around and I'm like so you okay that's good to know so like you actually
can't see it but then that woman was like so I just didn't touch it I don't I think it'd be way
too itchy for me and then she was like or have your man do it oh no I wouldn't I don't trust
any no I don't trust him with a razor. That just does not
sound enjoyable. No, you can't see at a certain point. You can't. You just have to feel for it.
Yeah, I can't grow it out. It's way too itchy. Right. Because that's what I was thinking. Like,
at least if you're if you can't see your vagina over the belly, you're at least going to go rogue.
But like, you'll just you're not getting it completely bald. You're just getting it down
to a place where you're comfortable that you're not itchy i mean i try to get it but i try to do as
much and you're just like you can't see shit i can't see shit i mean we've done it for so long
that like that's true it's like muscle memory no that's true i do have a lot of women that still
write in that are like can you like give us a tutorial on like how to shave and i'm like girls
like let's let's not really easy like this show you can come here
for a lot of things like I feel like you can like look it up somewhere and like we don't need to go
that okay and if like you're pregnant doing it like someone with that's not pregnant and you
can see that shit like just take your time no excuse yeah okay you have written two New York
Times bestsellers congratulations you little brainiac over there it is really exciting when
i hear it when i hear other people say it i'm like god like you know we all suffer from imposter
syndrome i feel like all of us yeah we all do because it's like well you know i wouldn't have
that if i wasn't on the show and blah blah blah and i wouldn't have that if this didn't happen
but like you know no that's really fucking cool yeah it's no it is really cool. And I think it's also amazing that you've done two now.
Well, I'm working on my third right now.
Yeah.
Wait, how long does it take you to write a book?
A long time.
I worked on the proposal six months, six months.
I worked and it wasn't like that for my second book.
And like my first book actually came a lot quicker to me.
Also, this third one one it's it's
harder because like I'm I'm really trying to be the way that I write it's like I have to be
specific about like with one thesis like and then everything spiders from that and I'm just like
struggling I was struggling a little bit with what that was so it took me a really long time
just to do the proposal well I, I was going to say,
like, I think there's so many people in Hollywood that have like that one book
and they're like, peace out.
I just wanted to say I wrote a book.
Clearly you like really like doing this.
Oh, no, I love it.
And that's why I started
like for the first one,
I was like, I want it to be a handbook
so that if I wanted to keep going,
the theme could change.
So it's always still like
a basic bitch handbook to something
it's just depending on what's going on in my life it's such a good idea and so I want to play a game
okay so the whole like basic bitch handbook clearly first question is can you help us all
decipher what is the difference or is there a difference between choogy and basic okay well
personally okay what I think um I think choogy is kind of cringe it's like you know
like cringe clothing or cringe you know things that I don't know there's a cringe element to
choogy I personally think that anything that's basic it's just like leaning in so hard to
something that you really love and doing that unapologetically it's like if you really love rom-coms or if you
really love murder docs and just like leaning in and it's like oh god you're so basic but like
but it makes me happy it brings me joy it's like leaning into the things that like really bring you
joy and not giving a fuck if it's like what's cool basic to me kind of is a timeless situation
where like basic also means that a lot of
people though are doing it and it's just something that kind of is timeless.
Yeah.
And it's and there's a reason those things are popular because they feel good or they
make you happy or like, I don't know, they fucking spark joy.
So like I'm Santa being basic Santa over here.
You're like, I can say it.
You can't say it, Alex.
Okay, we're playing a game. You're going to tell me if it's basic or not okay and also you can just
give me your thoughts on the topic in itself okay number one aperol spritz are you fucking that's
the most basic it's my favorite drink in the whole world i crave it every day that's the worst part
of pregnancy the worst part is that i can't have multiple Aperol spritzes
all day every day dude okay I make Bo make them so I'm like I'm gonna have three sips and I
literally swish it around my mouth for as long as I can spit it out no I swallow it my baby can
handle a few sips of an Aperol spritz but like I literally swish it and hold it in there and I'm
like oh that felt good that feels good that feels good I love them so it and hold it in there and I'm like, oh, that felt good. That feels good.
That feels good.
I love them so much.
And I think people consider them basic, but I think they're great.
So that's great.
Okay.
Get ready with me videos.
Oh my God.
So I didn't know what this was.
And I'm a big TikTok fan.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
And all of a sudden I just kept seeing G-R-W-M.
M.
Everywhere.
And I was like, grown woman woman I literally was like what the fuck
is everybody writing grown woman like what is this stuff because not all get ready with me videos
look the same they weren't all makeup some of them are like picking outfits so like there was no theme
right away and most of the time it's a woman doing it yes so like I thought grown woman was the vibe
and like it took me like a few months to realize
I feel like that it was get ready with me and this is the thing I tried one I put one out like
three weeks ago and how to do on I feel like the kids loved it although I will say everyone was
commenting being like wow 2016 and I'm like oh wait I was trying to do a thing
you know I was really trying to do a get ready with me and everyone's like this is so nostalgic
you do your makeup like it's 2016 but I'm like that's because it works for me right who cares
at least you're not trying to like pretend you're in a generation you're not yeah like you know
putting the like foundation like letting it drop on your face and like i i can't i can't i can't fuck with that like it kills me every get ready
with me that i see that people are just dropping the liquid on their face like it's so it's so not
appealing wait how do you do it i don't do it like me you drop it no no i don't i don't i'm
just interested like how do you do it okay well i take my foundation and I have a tin and I pour some out and then I use your hand.
No, I want a tin. Oh, and then I use a brush or a sponge and like a normal fucking person and then do the damn thing.
Do you think they're on to something that we don't know, though? No, I don't either.
I think they're bored and I think that they're just coming up with new ways to do makeup when like what works already is there.
So like I don't get it.
The fact that you thought that it was grown woman.
No, listen, Alex.
I also got a lot of comments from people being like I thought the same thing.
So there are lots of millennial women out there who are thinking that it is grown woman.
I get it.
GRWM, grown woman.
How would anyone just automatically know get ready with me?
What about GR makes you think grown?
Good point.
I like it.
I think it's funnier.
I think we should start leaning in and be like grown woman video coming right out.
Okay.
Tom Tom.
Basic.
Not basic.
You know what I'm going to say?
But I think it's basic basic but like I again I love
things that are basic but like you can't get any more basic than like the the representation of
vanderpump rules in bar form true you know there I don't really because I'm asking for attention
if I go there do you know what I mean like I really love it and I'll go there if it's someone's
birthday so I'm going for someone yeah I mean but if I go there. Do you know what I mean? Like I really love it and I'll go there if it's someone's birthday. So I'm going for someone. Yeah. I mean, but if I go there, everyone's going to take photos
and I'm like, no, I'm not. I get it. I get it. Um, Ozempic. Oh my God. Wait to like,
I really want to try it when I give birth. You're like, I want to go on it now, but I am pregnant.
So I'm going to wait. No, the amount of times I've researched this being like, I mean, I think it's safe and
healthy.
Like, I think it's good for you.
It's like taking vitamins.
Stassi.
How do we put a disclaimer?
Be like, nothing that was said in this podcast medically.
Please do not listen to this.
But like, come on.
It's basic.
Anyone who hears about Ozembic has to fucking be curious. You are a liar if you tell me that you have not thought to this. But like, come on. It's basic. Anyone who hears about Ozembic has to fucking be curious.
You are a liar if you tell me that you have not thought about it.
Thought about jumping on that train.
I mean, you don't need it.
I don't mean you.
No, no.
But like.
You should think about it.
No, I get what you're saying.
I think it's, this is what I've started to realize.
And maybe it's just like with age.
Like I remember one of my things on here was bone broth.
And I was thinking about all the debate with Gwyneth when everyone was like you are like
promoting bad eating that like for people that's not realistic and whatever and I'm like why does
everyone care no like she didn't say to only eat bone broth for you she was just being honest would
you rather lie her story she's literally just she's trying to be transparent which is what
everybody is asking of people please Please be honest and transparent.
So then you can't get mad about what you hear when someone is being transparent or honest.
So have I Googled Ozempic and what it would be like?
And am I thinking about it?
Yes, I am.
Because you were just talking about bone broth.
My first pregnancy, I ate bone broth for dinner for six fucking months after I gave birth.
And I kind of don't feel like doing that again.
I love that for you. I'm like, I don't want to. I want a quickie. I want to know. Yes. I'm an Ozempic girl, not a bone broth girl anymore. We love that. I love the honesty because that's what
I got annoyed where I was like, I think people are really getting too triggered. Like Gwyneth
wasn't like everyone should do this. She was asked what she eats in a day and
instead of being like a cheeseburger for dinner and a day she just told you you don't have to do
it you don't have to do it like would you want her to lie to you and then you're gonna wonder like
wait why don't I look like this when I'm eating a cheeseburger for dinner and like you you want
I want to know that it's a struggle for Gwyneth I want to know it's a struggle me too and I also
love it's like people
need to realize I know the whole world influencer has really taken over but like look inward if
you're being really heavily influenced by every single influencer on the internet yeah let's
totally just do a little check yes just a little check in just be responsible for yourself
be responsible for yourself okay so Ozempic Ozemby okay so she's gonna go on ozempic you're
gonna tell us how it goes you'll go on it someone else doesn't have to exactly okay yeah and then
you're gonna be feel how you want to feel and they can feel how they want to feel while they're on
the elliptical you're um look at me now do you think you'll be promoting it that like you're
on it or you won't talk about it um i would like to to think that I would be somebody that promotes it and talks about it.
Because, again, I really do.
I love when other people are transparent and honest.
So I want to be that for other people.
But like, God, people are really hard.
People are really hard.
On that, on things like that.
And it's like, do I feel like going through
all of the hate that I'm gonna get well if I'm honest about it unfortunately you're on
call our daddy right now saying you're gonna do it you know what would be the worst if if you
actually don't go on ozempic and you're like everyone's gym and they're like that bitch is
on ozempic you're like no guys I'm actually I totally probably just fucked myself right no
matter what they're all either they're like it's not working or it's working and you could have been doing it like organically yeah okay well
keep us updated what do you think about manifesting I'm so basic you manifest I manifest the shit out
of life I think I've naturally been manifesting my whole life and just like not know when we were
growing up manifesting wasn't a word right that we like really yeah the way that we use it now totally but I think that I've always just been that way and I really I really do fucking ride
so hard for manifesting because I feel like what works with manifesting is like you just envision
that the things that you want are gonna happen and then you slowly start working towards those
things whether you realize it or not true and like that is manifesting it's like
quite simple that's true okay give us an example what's something like big you manifested and like
boom it happened my whole entire life I wanted um to live in a Spanish style home in the hills
okay okay and I when it got to the point where I was looking at at houses like it just so seamlessly happened and I realized that like wow I had been like
planning for this and working towards this and I'd always just said it and then I was like I
should have manifested bigger I should have been like a 10 million dollar house Spanish style house
in the Hollywood Hills like why didn't I manifest a yard attached to that house like fuck I get what
you're saying but like okay so
you had this vision and now it's come true yes because then i like i saved the money in order
like i started like or i would accept this job and put that money away to like start right being
like this is gonna happen for me so i need to prepare for it when it does so kind of like back
in the days they would just say like a dream you have now we have like a better word that's like a little bit
more like proactive basic as fuck okay are you watching reality tv shows um well i've just
recently started watching vanderpump rules dude were you not watching it no and then you had to
catch up and then once um scanwell happened i was like i No. And then you had to catch up. And then once Scanwell happened, I was like.
I got to catch up.
I didn't catch up.
But like I will.
I've seen like the last three episodes.
So like I've been like I should probably.
I'm interested.
I want to see.
That whole drama.
I can't imagine how annoying it was for you.
Because like how many people wanted to hear your take on it?
No, you have no idea.
In fact, like it's interesting that you say that that you can see that that you can see that that
would maybe be annoying like when it happened like it's like one of those things I joke about this
that like you know it's like when there's like a natural disaster or a world event and like you
never forget where you were that day and like you could be at work or at school and then like you
stop what you're doing and like you you get with your co-workers you find the nearest fucking tv and then years later you're like i'll
never forget who i was with and what we were doing that's how i feel about fucking scandal
like truly i can't imagine like and what was your take well at first i was just like i i don't think
that this is real but then i'm like this is i start texting the people that i i know obviously
and i was like like I mean just
like I think everyone's the same as everyone's reaction like holy fuck and then I I was like I
feel like I'm thrown right back into something that I've been away from yeah for so long but
it's it's like is it my place to be a part of it or is it not my place? I don't know. And then I have all of these people just DMing me.
I mean, I've never been DMed more about anything than I was about like,
I'm commenting and attaching or tagging me and it being like,
I'm going to need Stassi to weigh in.
I'm going to need Stassi to weigh in.
But I don't know if it's my place anymore.
And I've been out of this for so long that like,
I think it would be kind of fucking weird if I'm like going on my Instagram being like this is my take on yeah and like it was all it was it's
been kind of like a mind fuck which is weird to say because it's not even happening to me I kind
of agree and I that's what when I when I had Ariana on I was like it was actually so weird
because the amount of people that were like fuck like we kind of wanted you to have Raquel on and
I was like this is why I also hate the internet so much because whenever I have villains on the
show everyone's like canceled when I don't have them on then they're pissed but when I have them
on they're pissed whatever but did you ever like Tom Sandoval no I mean no and he never liked me
and that's the thing you know I will say this not being on this last season it's like my my talents were wasted
because I could have you know this was when I could have really just like given it to him and
been like I've always knew right right there's got to be something that everyone is seeing in
him but like he I feel like has always been a slime ball well that's interesting that you say
that just because I felt like he was always so beloved
and so and I would even I would say to my producers I'm like when is he gonna get the edit
that like I I feel like the rest of us see like why does he keep like getting away with being
just this dude who just wants to like give people things and help people out man and like all of
that I'm like that's not what I'm seeing I'm seeing somebody who's constantly like blaming others for things and
dredging things up from the past and like,
and just deflecting constantly.
Yeah.
Like if like the rest of us look bad,
then he looks good.
And I've always felt that way.
And so,
yeah,
the fact that I'm not on it this season,
it's like,
fuck,
you know?
Yeah.
Do you miss reality TV?
I miss reality TV at times. Like like i loved filming i love like that was
it was like all my 20s were spent doing that and you know i love the camaraderie of it and i loved
all my producers and the team and the cat like it's fun it's really fun but you know there's
something about like being out of it for so long and and I watched that like the
success of a show is like directly tied to how badly the cast hurts each other and that like
feels weird I agree it's like I think that's something that we're struggling with now is like
watching it because there is social media I I feel like people are having a harder time like
actually choosing a villain because it's also weird of like but then that person's life is
actually ruined on social media and people are getting canceled and people are getting death
threats where like back in the day you kind of like the never saw the people and it was like
whoa that was a great show where now it's like a little bit like, oh, people have to be really calculated to fuck shit up.
And like how far are people going to ruin each other's lives?
And is it honest?
Is it real?
Like I don't know.
Yeah.
It just – it's dark.
Like when you really think about it, it's fucking dark.
Right.
Like I feel like there's a – I think you have a good life now outside of it.
And it's almost better to be nostalgic for it
than be still in it and like look what's happening right now no I think so too because I think you
know obviously I get asked all the time like would you go back to reality tv would you go back to
all that stuff and I'm like I don't I you know there might come a time when I'm like oh this
makes sense this type of reality tv this makes sense for me or whatever. And this is a reflection
on what really my life is like. Yeah. You know, it might be a little more boring than what you're
used to seeing. Right. But it's at least a little bit more authentic where you're not having to like
really create that character again. Yeah. But like, I don't think I'd want to put my family
in a position to be in something where like, again, the success is tied to like how much you can hurt each other
and like I just don't I don't it's not like a healthy place to be like it's not good on
relationships you can be in the strongest relationship and and I mean if you think
about it it's like Vanderpump Rules is like who's betraying who who's cheating on who who's being
shady and like sometimes they you know they things are invented that like never even happened and so
to put that stress on a relationship and then if you have children on top of that I'm just not sure
that that's like the healthiest thing for me I do miss it no I do I get it like it's almost like
reality tv to a certain age should be appropriate because you actually your life is toxic and
chaotic like season one it was like you were so like in the best way unhinged and like saying shit.
But like I was like that with my boyfriends when I was in my late, like early 20s.
Then I think when you get to a certain age, it's like you're just fucking your life up.
Yeah.
For camera.
Yes.
Yeah.
Who are you friends with still from the cast?
Well, Katie's one of my best friends in the world.
She's Hartford's godmother. She was my maid of honor.
And I'm still really close with Lala.
And honestly, the producers, like I'm, I hang out with the producers more than most people.
Like they're some of my closest friends.
Really?
Yeah.
So it's so weird to like be hanging out with them.
And we kind of don't talk about it that much.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like the show part of it.
But now that like Scanamals happened, we talk about it a lot more I guess how do you feel about how much hate Tom is getting online
um I mean I've obviously I've been in a position where I've received so much hate before and like
that's I don't like where we're at like in society we're like that's how we punish people
it's like a sense it's like it's
it's like emotionally beheading people yeah you know what I mean and it's and who's to decide
what the punishment should be like who who makes someone the authority on that like what makes
this person on their computer the authority on on what they think is enough hate for him to receive.
Right.
I don't get down with that.
Like, I really, I don't like it.
Like, do I like Tom Sandoval?
No.
Do I think what, like, what he did is disgusting and, like, fuck him.
But, like, see, now I feel like I'm even adding to it, like, the online vitriol.
There's a level of, like, if you're being asked about it, you you can talk about it and i think everyone with their friends can talk about it but i do think there's
like a level of we're just as bad of like people that are going out of their way to comment on his
photos or something and be like go fucking kill yourself you're so disgusting it's like that it's
like that that that no one like let's let's just like not do that as like a group of people.
Let's just not.
You probably didn't say that fully to like even your dad when he cheated on your mom and you guys have a divorced family now.
Like there's so many people that have gone through sadly something very similar,
like cheating, affairs, like that.
And it's awful, but like we don't know these people.
So yes, they've put their lives out there for us.
But like at what point is it like talk shit to your friends in your group chat,
but to actually make an effort to like go wait outside of his house or to go make comments.
It's like let's.
And at some point like that is how people become incredibly depressed and suicidal.
And it's like how would we all react if we knew that that's how it ended.
Yes.
Yeah.
How what it just it's not right you were obviously
so different back in the day as we all are of like in your early 20s verse where you're sitting now
on the show you were probably one of my favorite characters because it was like I was watching a
scene this morning I was trying to I was like telling my friend I was gonna sit down with you
I'm like no you don't understand like no one was more iconic than Stassi like she would go into these like rage blackouts basically that looked like
it on screen where you were just like I am the devil motherfucker and like just the shit you
said was like so gold and I'm like are you gonna ever let your daughter watch the show
I can't hide I can't hide it from her so, of course. I honestly just hope she learns from my mistakes.
Like, I hope she sees it and cringes and is like, you were fucking awful.
And like, I don't want to talk to you for two weeks.
And I'm like, fair.
And then she just literally goes, you know, that just swings her in the opposite direction.
And she just wants to be this like lovely, kind child.
But like, that's fair.
You know.
OK, how would you describe yourself back then versus now? To someone maybe that't watch the show didn't know you oh my god I mean oh my god
I think so incredibly selfish like I still have selfish tendencies like 100% that's always gonna
be a personality trait sorry it is but like I really truly thought the world revolved around me I thought that everything that
I was going through mattered to everyone I just felt like what I had to say was so important I
was also one of those people that's like I just tell it like it is you got to just deal with it
and and now that I'm older like I don't like that about myself and I think that's such an overrated
quality because all you're saying is like you don't care about how your words affect other people so like sometimes like it's good to just
think before you fucking speak you know it's like called being polite and gracious true like I just
like and there are still people that like you know are in that reality tv world that are still like
that that are just like well I tell like it is I'm honest like if you can't handle the truth then
like I'm not for you and I'm like but do you really want to be that way I get what you're
saying about like holding yourself back for maybe speaking about certain things but again the
environment that you were in like that is what would make you a better person on reality tv
yeah no so it's like like it's almost like you were rewarded when you would say crazy shit I was
now it's like when you're in private with friends maybe we don't bring that into real life but I get what you're saying of watching it back you're
like why did I say that's how I feel about when I look back at my the earlier days of my show I'm
like why did I say some of that stuff yeah that's also life yeah no that's true but we just happen
to be like recording art yes and we were rewarded for it just like you were rewarded for like things
that would come out of your mouth it's like that's that's how we're paid to be totally like to say crazy shit yes what do you miss most about being in your 20s
being selfish leaning into it like right and like not knowing that it was wrong right you know
yeah it's the delusion it's like the not knowing any better and just really living for myself but
at the same time it's like i am such a happier person not living for myself yeah like as like
fun as it all was to be reckless and selfish like i am so much more at peace and such a happier
person yeah now that i'm not like that i get what you're saying like I was thinking about that as I
wrote that question today I was thinking like okay I oh I am 28 but I almost feel like I'm already 30
and I am like my earlier stages of my 20s I feel like I thought I was having so much fun in the
toxic relationships and going out and drinking getting fucked up and blacking out and like
jokingly waking up and having all my friends in the room be like I just ruined my life and that's also like life but there is some different level of peace
you feel once you get over that hump where like I don't wake up with that anxiety of like what did
I say to that person like was I like mean like did I fuck up like did I do something like I don't
know it's like calmer it's like nicer I mean there's like a reason that like you know elderly people are like my idea of fun is like staying in in like watching like Downton Abbey
it's like because our preferences change as we age true and like I agree with that staying in
watching Downton Abbey is like the most fun you can have. Do you often hang out with elderly folks?
I should. Honestly, I should find myself a pack of elderly friends. I was going to say like come over one night and there's like seven people that you just like went and picked up from the elderly
home. I mean, I'm always down for granny vibes. I do love granny vibes, too. What do you love
most about being in your 30s? In mys oh my gosh I think that the I've learned
that like the power of of saying no to things and and not caring about like well is someone
gonna be mad at me if I'm not going to what they just asked me to do or if I say no to like a
FaceTime or like I don't respond to a text message. Like I've prioritized as much as like I it's funny that I'm saying this because it sounds
like I'm being selfish, but I've just prioritized my my happiness and well-being.
And I know how to do that and not worry about like, well, so-and-so going to be mad at me
if I say no, like I'm allowed to say no.
I'm allowed to say no.
Yeah, you are.
I love that, too, because there like, I get what you're saying.
It sounds selfish, but there's a different level of maturity of like a freedom that you
get instead of feeling like, oh my God, but it has to be calculated.
If I don't text them, it's because I'm like being mean.
This is actually, I'm not being mean.
I'm not being mean.
I'm just, there's just things that I don't want to do.
I am just kind of busy and I don't want to do that.
Or like, I'd like to stay home with my daughter tonight.
Like I just like, it's not for me. And honestly, I don't even owe an explanation no like no is all I have to say
what's the difference between Stassi hammered in her 20s versus Stassi hammered in her 30s
oh my god I miss being hammered I know how long how much longer um I'm due the beginning of
September that's a while it's like three fucking months. You got this.
Ew.
You got this.
Well, I would fully black out in my 20s.
Like, I wouldn't remember things.
And I, yeah, I wouldn't remember what I texted.
I wouldn't remember what I said.
It was super emotional.
Now, because I have a kid, I'm not allowed.
Right.
I can't. It's unfortunate unfortunate but I can't let it get
too far so like I honestly I feel like I don't have that much of like a personality shift when
I drink does that make me an alcoholic maybe but I feel like I'm kind of the same as I am right now
that's good that's good okay love that it's just like you have you're just having a little bit
better time yeah like I'm just having a better time that's what it is I'm just having a better time in my
30s because like I'm not getting obliterated right you're not getting full blackout that's fair
um speaking of being drunk you talk a lot about dark passengering and I think a lot of my fans
may not have any idea like what does that mean like can you explain what that means yeah 100% I can you talk a lot about dark passengering and I think a lot of my
fans may not have any idea like what does that mean like can you explain what that means yeah 100% again I mainly did this I did this like all
throughout Vanderpump Rules but like it's became a thing when I started dating Bo okay so I would
go absolutely psycho on him like I mean breaking phones texting him 73 times in a row yelling
screaming threatening things like violence okay when I
wouldn't get my way and normally it was because like I would want to leave a party early because
like I granny vibes so like I'd want to go to bed at like 11 and he's so social and he would want to
stay out later and I've always had like a trigger when it came to that because like honestly I feel
validated now because of
scannival it's like shady things in that group of friends always happen after hours so i would
start freaking out like what is why does he want to be out with my friends and not coming home with
me and i would go just insane on him i would i would it was like that's why he would call it the
dark passenger it's like I would literally see
Red like anger is like the only motion
That like overtakes me I see red I can't
Control it I can't stop myself like that
Is what the dark passenger used to be
But again now looking back in light of
Like you know Scandival and all that I
Was right to dark passenger I was about
To say as you were describing that I think
it's totally understandable if your partner for like one night occasionally is like oh my gosh
like no I'm having so much fun with my friends like I want to stay out if your partner every
single fucking time you guys go out is always lingering and you're going home alone biggest
red flag you know what strange yeah strange so true why why
would you want to stay and not come home with me yeah like what exactly i can't imagine wanting to
like i again i get it if like i'm having all my friends are there and my fiance's like i really
want to go home exhausted i'm like fuck but like i'm having so much fun with my girlfriends yeah
then i'm gonna stay out occasionally but like i don't think I've ever been like I desperately want to stay at this party I'm not single I'm not looking for dick like the
dick I have is going home like why don't I want to just go home with them yeah no thank you for
validating me so now but don't you think for like a lot a lot of people listening to this probably
are like huh like I have this a lot with my partner where like they stay out so many more
nights than if I'm going home alone or like they're going out without me all the time. Like
I guess to each his own, I personally wouldn't be down because I just wouldn't understand like
why would your partner always want to be out without you? No, I completely agree with that.
And that was always my argument. I'd be like, so thank you. What is it? What is it that you
want to be doing? Like what is more fun than just like going to sleep with me right now?
And I also get the trigger of like if you have ever been cheated on or again and that's what would happen
like you know when Kristen and Jax like season yes two or whenever when like they they did their
thing like that that was always like after hours after the party after I had gone home like so it
happens so nothing good happens after hours so like it makes me it made me
feel so weird when Bo would want to just stay out and so that's that's when we put a name to the
dark passenger but the dark passenger can really just like it means like anytime you just literally
see red and like anger is the only thing and and you you can't reason there's no logic yep there's
I feel like you had a lot of that for like birthday
parties yeah let's talk about your birthday because I I want to relate to you here and I
can't I want to hear your explanation of like what your birthday means to you oh my god I'm
gonna disappoint you so much right now why okay so the first few years of Vanderpump Rules like
100% I was a birthday beast. Yeah.
Okay.
I was so obsessed with my birthday.
I have no idea where it came from.
You know what?
I blame the fact that I am a summer like baby.
Me too.
And so like I never got to like really have birthday parties.
Fair.
Fair.
Like where all the people could come.
So like I like made it a much bigger deal as an adult or something.
But like after the first few seasons of vanderpump
rules i stopped caring okay i got it out of my system that's great bravo would never let me
stop caring but i was like no but like this is this is a bit this is like your this is your
thing like you are people relate to this this is like your you are the birthday queen and literally
to this day people when people come up to me like like 50% of the time, they're like either saying
the quote about the devil or like Pinot Grigio and the other 50% of the time.
It's like, thank you for making me feel good about my birthday.
Dude, I remember watching it and like to people that didn't watch those seasons, like the
rage that took over you of like, it's my fucking birthday.
Sit down.
I know.
And like be present.
And I was like, I loved watching it it but I don't relate to that and
so I was like I wanted to hear today I think it's great you're over it yeah so for your birthday now
you don't really care no I don't really care um I think I was just always just like channeling
main character energy you know like when you when you when you're trying to have main character
energy you need to care about your birthday main characters care about their birthdays it's a whole
month it's a whole thing yeah and I think like that actually for reality tv worked i think on instagram it's annoying as fuck when it's like
totally is like my birthday month we gotta stop 10 days for my birthday i'm like no one gives a
fuck it's not countdown like no one cares no one cares no one cares okay we can we relate on that
now okay um do you secretly miss a little bit of drama in your life now that you don't have reality TV?
Yeah, sometimes.
I know.
I say this to Beau a lot, actually.
I'm like, you know what?
We should get in a fight and I should dark passenger because it would just like make me feel so passionate.
That would probably make me horny.
I get what you're saying.
Like a little, a little bit.
A little friction.
No, a little bit.
I remember when we were in Vegas in December, actually when I conceived. No. we were walking past um the sign for absinthe have you ever been to that show
no oh it's so good is it good yeah it's really good and I was like oh my god but remember the
last time we saw absinthe like I full-blown dark passenger it on you and I was like we should do
that that'll help us make a baby stop and he thinks I'm insane and he thinks that's so unwell
but like I just think that that i think
makeup sex is fun i agree i think men have like a little bit harder time like playing the role of
like we're fighting but like it's not really like and they're like i don't understand like if i am
trouble like stop 100 and they get scared like i try to do it with my partner all the time like
just light little tinges here and there can be fun. Yeah. Not all the time, but like a little like I'm like, we've been so good.
Let's not be so good.
Let's not be so good.
Let's not be so good.
Let's have to come back to being good.
I want to miss you.
I want to be like, I want to be scared that I'm going to lose you.
You know?
Even though I know I'm not like, let me just pretend.
Let me just pretend.
And like play with it.
I feel like guys can't get there.
No, not.
But I kind of.
OK, did you ever at
one point like bring your trust issues in your past into your relationship that like it really
affected you guys yeah past the dark passenger of like staying out late was there anything else
yeah well we know we started going to therapy like really early on and on into our relationship
because I had all of those freak out moments and I just didn't trust him and he didn't understand
where it was coming from because he was he had never given me a and I just didn't trust him and he didn't understand where it was
coming from because he was he had never given me a reason for me not to trust him and we had to like
talk through it and the more like we went to therapy the more than he was like thank you so
much for articulating this for communicating this because I understand that must have been really
hard to have like this happen to you to have your friend do this to you to have
you know other times that I had been cheated on like I get it now and like then we were able to
work together but like yeah it really affected our relationship yeah I love that you have openly
talked about like couples therapy because I think there's such a stigma of like what's wrong with
your relationship and it's like why is everyone to be going this early right like why because
that's when the relationships like you it's make or break honestly and you're coming into the
relationship with all your separate baggage so might as well get it like worked out right away
i agree okay your relationship you've talked kind of about how like you have very different sex
drives with beau and everything give the girlies tips of like how do you keep things intimate
without at times being actually physically intimate, how do you keep things intimate without at
times being actually physically intimate? Like, what do you guys do? Honestly, Alex, I need the
fucking tips. I need the tips. I think, listen, I think that Bo and I are really good at quality
time. Like we, we talk to each other. Like we, we, we spend time together. Like we were really
good at parenting together. Like I know that doesn't sound romantic time together like we we're really good at parenting together like I
know that doesn't sound romantic but like when you're aligned in in how you view things like
that like when you get into a relationship with someone you get married to someone or you decide
to have a child with someone you better really fucking like that person because when you have
a kid y'all are in it you're fucking in it 24 7 like and so there are gonna be days that are
kind of boring and you better really just like being around that person while doing all of the
monotonous mundane shit yeah that's such a good point like i was thinking about you and like
having watched some of your relationships very toxic in the past to then like Beau seems like the complete opposite of like
stable, normal, romantic, loving, sweet. Like in the beginning, did that freak you out?
It didn't freak me out, but I made it. What I did with him is like I made a choice. Like I was aware
of the fact that I was changing my habits. Like everyone that I've dated in the past it was kind of all the same like
exciting and like passionate right from the beginning like just feeling like you know that
feeling which like ends up being toxic honestly 100 and so Bo was kind of everything different
you know I mean he was different than anything that I had dated before and I went about it both of us did really slowly and we casually dated we dated other people and we just really got to know
each other yeah and I think that that's like what made this relationship so solid is that like
we trusted each other there was like constant communication constant like getting to know each
other but it didn't know nothing about him scared me because I knew that I was doing everything
different yeah I kind of also had I mean I think a lot of people do you have those like toxic
relationships but I think at some point people always write in asking like when will I be ready
to like not how will I know when to not go for the toxic you just kind of know you know when you're
done yeah you totally like there's a feeling of like I don't want to deal with it anymore and I think that there's like something
like really overrated about the like love at first sight thing I still have friends that like you
know are single and will ask me like well what should I do I'm like well you write someone off
if you don't feel that in love feeling that excitement right away but like that's kind of
overrated it is we don't know people right away so right so how real
is that feeling right it's like there's a difference between going on a first date and
actually like vibing and being like there's definitely something here yeah obviously you
have to have attraction and you have to vibe yes but the feeling of like the butterflies but also
like anxious and like he's not texting and like waiting and like playing the games and like being so calculated and like well like that shouldn't be happening because that's
like unhealthy yeah like that's not enjoyable exactly but i think when you are doing that for
so long you can get into this rhythm of then normal feels boring and i think it's like i got
to a point where i'm like actually toxic, toxic became so boring to me. I completely fucking agree.
Toxic is boring.
It's boring because it's so transparent of like, and then we're going to fight and then
he's not going to text me and then I'm going to not text him and then we're going to get
a fight and then we're going to have this crazy sex and then I'm going to feel insecure
and then it's just like this and you're never able to be like, I feel really happy today
on this nice Wednesday.
I know.
You don't have that.
Yes.
And that just, I get it I won't say to anyone in their early 20s or in their teens right now like you got to go through it you do have to go through it and I'll say like it is fun to go through it
once or twice totally but it would just be nice like if you can if you start to feel like you're
getting fed up with it you have you have to also change your ways yes like that's just okay um how did you know Bo was the one
because I could completely be myself honestly like I felt like there was I never had to watch
what I said or what I did or I never felt insecure in that way like I felt like he loved everything
about me and he but not just loved it. He would like champion it.
Like he was so into just like me being a basic bitch.
That's like so not a dude thing to do to be like, yeah, you go with like your basic bitch
self, you know, like he was just like really accepting and a cheerleader.
And I think that's what I realized.
Like I really want that for myself.
Totally.
Totally.
No, that's so cute.
Like obviously I only get to watch your life like slightly through Instagram, but you guys realized like I really want that for myself totally totally no that's so cute like obviously
I only get to watch your life like slightly through Instagram but you guys look like so happy
thank you and it's just like really cool to see like again I literally sitting down with you
the best the best version of like a whole person I knew was from season one two and three
and like watching those seasons I love that part of you but it's also cool to sit down with you
and like get to know you as like a mom and a partner.
And like just I don't know.
It's like you're.
You seem great.
Thank you.
You seem like you like got it together.
I know.
I feel like I got it together.
Like I think I do.
I think so.
Wait.
So you're on tour.
Yeah.
And Kate went to one of your shows.
Yeah.
And she was like it is so crazy.
Like she sells out everywhere.
You are just like so personable and outgoing and everyone loves you.
And like all of your fans are amazing.
And she was like, they're like the nicest girls in a room.
Just like loving life, being so happy to be there.
Do you like touring?
I love it.
That was like the one thing when COVID happened that I was like,
if I can do anything ever again I like please let it be touring like
I really love it I just love the whole process of it not just like creatively putting together
it's like challenging it's like fully challenging myself to do something that's so uncomfortable
like putting together like a set like where it's like I'm not a stand-up comedian but like I have
to be for a second of course I have to act kind of and then write something for myself then deliver
it and hope that people find it interesting right and then put together segments and and you
know just I just love the creative process of it and then I also like the whole traveling aspect
of it you know like I love going to different places and seeing smaller towns and meeting
people from different places and checking into hotels I don't know i i just i really i love touring i i give you so much
credit because i don't think people know how hard it is it is fucking ridiculous how hard it is how
long is your show um an hour and a half to have acts and yourself and everyone entertaining people
for an hour and a half live it's like when you think about it like i'll always like when i'm
watching everyone leave the theater like i'm in my car and I'm like all these people like spent their money
to come here like they got babysitters they took ubers like they they came here so like if I didn't
deliver like that's I'm letting them down you know I mean it's not like they can just they're
at home flipping on a television show it's like they went out of their way like and I appreciate that so much that they put in that
effort to come see me so like the pressure is is is on it's there but I get nervous to go on stage
now or no um there are when I know people in the audience and so how many cities do you do
I think we did we're doing like 25 I think but we're over halfway done I think the hardest part
now I've realized this is and when I do this again I'll plan it differently is yeah I can't be gone like six days at a time I miss Hartford
too much like so those last two shows like I I kind of just like end up not caring because I'm
feeling down wanting to go to your I just want to go home and like be a mom and so like I've
realized that I think that the next time around I'll be like okay like three days
yeah then a week at home like three days then a week you get exhausted by being pregnant and
touring at all no okay let me tell you something this is gonna sound extra alcoholic okay it's
okay because like I haven't sounded alcoholic enough this whole time but I was way more low
energy and tired the first two tours that I did before COVID because we would like drink and have
fun you know I mean like we'd have like Bloody Marys on the plane and like drink rosé while
we're getting ready and drink backstage and have Aperol spritzes on stage and I just felt tired
because of that now I think I have the most energy out of everyone that I'm traveling with because
I'm sober we know I actually so get that like you would just
keep drinking I would do the same thing yeah you just keep going oh that's so smart so now I'm
sober so I feel like I feel sharp I feel just way more alert and with it and quicker and yeah
sobriety really suits me it's just not fun you're like I know it's for the best for me but like the
minute I have my child I'm back on my shit.
100%.
I'm getting an Aperol Spritz brought to my fucking room right after I deliver.
I don't know.
Beau literally brought me, he made spicy margaritas in the hospital for me and he's going to do
that again.
The fact that you said you swish around an Aperol Spritz and just hold it there.
Just hold it.
I feel like that's what I'm going to have to do if I ever get pregnant.
Yeah.
Or like a really good red wine.
Like I'll, I'll like, I'll have a little bit of red wine every now and then like my doctor
literally says it's fine to like have some few sips like everyone calm down have a glass it's
fine yeah yeah yeah like I'll leave it in my mouth like literally it feels like for three and a half
minutes because you just the taste I miss the taste I get it so much what is like coming up
in your life so you're writing a book.
You're having a kid.
I actually love how I didn't even have to ask you.
You're writing a book.
You're having a kid.
And you're on tour.
Yes.
You're kind of thriving.
And I have two podcasts.
So like.
Dude, how do you do two podcasts?
I mean.
And go on tour.
The other one's with Bo.
So like it's easy for us to just like make time to do it.
So it feels.
It doesn't feel like it's as much.
Too much.
Yeah. As much work. It's still a lot. Let's have it doesn't feel like it's as much. Too much. Yeah.
As much work.
It's still a lot.
Let's have you back home on your hammers.
But that would be so fun.
Then we really can't air it.
Let's get toasty.
That would be fun to do one next time we like actually get fucked up.
Yeah.
And like see what comes out of our mouths.
No Alex this was like one of my favorite podcasts I've ever done.
Was it fun?
This was so fun.
I'm so happy you came because I had an idea we would be vibing.
We I also feel like we
never shut the fuck up do we have one breath of silence and we were like i haven't even heard the
room tone since we started but i guess that's a good podcast right yes or everyone's gonna be
like you guys are so fucking annoying yeah you guys are annoying you guys keep talking over each
other i don't think we were talking over no we were two professionals yeah we like right as you
were finishing i would pick up and it was like yeah i think we had a good time no this was i'm not joking this was one of my favorite podcasts i've ever done like i really
just had a really great time i had a great time and i felt like i really could just relax and we
had like a normal fun conversation that was just happened to be filmed for millions of people to
watch yes you were so fun thank you for coming on thank you this is great oh my god
