Okay, let me ask you something. Do you actually like your money? Because these big wireless companies act like that bill should be a personality trait. That's why I'm into Mint Mobile. You can get a premium wireless plan starting at 15 bucks a month, which is way less than what most people are paying for the same thing. You still get high speed data, unlimited talk, and text on the nation's largest 5G network. You're just not getting robbed for it. You can bring your own phone and number, activate with ESIM in minutes, and there are no long-term contracts, which I love because I don't want to be locked into anything. It's just a smarter, simpler way to do your phone plan and actually keep more of your money every month. So if you're tired of overpaying just because that's what you've always done, Mint Mobile is a

really easy switch. I switched from a big carrier and the service fees feel the same. Fast data, clear calls. I'm just paying way less every month, which is my favorite part. If you like your money, MintMobile is for you. Shop plans at mintmobile.com slash bunny. That's mintmobile.com slash BUNN-N-I-E. Up front payment of $45 for three-month, five-gigabyte plan required.

Welcome back to another Amtale. I just licked my microphone. You have your makeups on me? Fun fact, I didn't know we were recording. Me either. She snapped into it, girl. She said, I thought you were doing an ad that was on camera.

No. I put my phone down so fast. We're back, baby. We haven't been back in the studio since tour, right? Weeks. Oh, let's fucking rehash some tour. Yeah. Yeah.

Fuck. And let's talk about a tour. Dude. It was so fun. It was so much fun. I loved it. I have always said that I would dread doing a tour and I actually loved it. It was really good.

I only messed up one time on stage in Vegas. introducing Papa Roach. I fucking. Browice Jacoby backstage. You said his name and he said, fuck. They all scattered. Were they watching?

They were watching? Yes. Oh, God. And he's scattered. He said, what? So embarrassing. So embarrassing. Like the one time I fuck up,

I have to fuck up in front of them. Like, come on, dude. That's how I do it. I really fucking drive it on home, John B. Whenever I do that kind of stuff. tour was fucking amazing everybody was so great the the um people that showed up just amazing LA ended up being I feel like one of my favorite shows we were worried about LA and LA was actually like one of the the Crim Day like crem dude we had Burke Kreisher show up Wiz Khalifa

my baby whiz like oh my God I love Wiz I love him I love him like he is one of the best humans in the fucking world just sweet sweet boy. dude. And he's like, he's so swagged out. It's what makes him hot. Like he's like, you know what I'm talking about? He's so smooth. I was so panicked because he was just taking his time coming to stage and I'm like,

she's ready to announce him. And he's like, I can see him in the distance. You just see smoke coming. Dude, literally sit three people. I said three people. It's like slow mo with weed smoke behind his head. He's just coming down the stairs and I'm like, come on. And then he like stopped for a break.

I said, oh my God. Dude. I just can't believe the the guests that showed up. Like I'm so fucking thankful for each one. I had Winona Judd. Okay, let me just give you guys some backstory on me calling these guests to ask them to come. Okay. First of all, I'm like, who the fuck am I to ask somebody to come to my fucking book tour?

You know, like I just don't. I never want to ask people for favors. And when people are home, not touring, the last thing they want to do is show up to a fucking event, you know? I have asked Winona Judd to be on the podcast. for two years at least. And every time she straight up says no. She has, I fucking love, I love Nona, dude. She don't care.

She is just who she is and she's not going to sugarcoat anything. And she has said no, straight up. And we were sitting around and we were kind of like brainstorming for Nashville. And I was like, who should we bring? And somehow Wynonna's name got brought up and I was like, I mean, she's told me no fucking 15 times already. What's the worst she could say is no? Like I'm used to it now, you know?

so I fucking, I'm shaking. I go to call her and I'm like, I think I sent her a voice message, right? Did I send her a voice message or did I call her? You called her. Oh, I called her. I called her. I called her. I called her and I was like,

I said, why nona? Feel free to tell me to go, fuck myself. I was like, I just, I have to put this out there. I'm doing a book tour, blah, blah, blah. I gave her the whole spiel. She's like, what is it? I said, I gave her the date. And she goes, yeah, I'll do it. we like all fucking fell out of our chairs in that moment because I was just like oh my didn't we get it on video did we get it on video?

I believe so yeah yeah insert that video right here these days I'm all about quality over quantity and that goes for my closet and my house if something isn't well made and versatile it's just not worth it to me that's why I love quince the fabrics feel elevated the cuts are thoughtful and the pricing actually makes sense they use premium materials like European linen silk and organic cotton and everything is designed to be simple, wearable, and last season after season. They also work directly with ethical factories and cut out the middleman, so you're not paying for a brand name, just really good quality pieces. The stitching holds up, the fabric keeps their shape, and these are things you reach for over and over. I've been getting their bedding and towels for my house, and they feel so good, super soft, really breathable, and they still look nice after washing, which I love.

I've been in full home refresh mode lately because my house went from feeling cozy to feeling a little chaotic, stuff everywhere, no real storage, nothing matching. So I went on Wayfair and actually took the time to find pieces that worked for my space.

My style is kind of modern, cozy, and a little eclectic, and I love that you can filter by size, color, price, and reviews, so you're not scrolling forever. Before my entryway was just a drop zone for bags and shoes. Now I have a console table with storage, baskets underneath, and it actually looks put together when you walk in. I also grabbed closet organizers and lighter bedding for spring. And it honestly changed how the whole house feels. More functional, less stressful. The reviews helped me know exactly what I was getting. Shipping was fast. And for one of the bigger pieces, I use the assembly option, so I didn't have to deal with it.

Well, I wanted to put this in your ear, and you don't have to give me an answer at all, but you know how much I love you? I've always always, always loved you. I am doing a soul. out show in Nashville for my book tour because my book dropped this week. They wanted, thank you. They wanted me to do like a regular book signing and I was like absolutely not. I'm not going to do that, but I will do it my way. And so we have special guests that'll be there. My husband's performing. If you had 15 minutes of your time and sit

on the couch for 15 minutes, I would pay you an appearance fee or whatever you wanted. And just, I would love to have somebody as iconic as you and I would be as honored as I possibly could be. If you could make time. If not, I'm totally fine with that. So don't make a decision now, but I just wanted to put it in your ear. And it's on the 22nd. Of this month? Yes, ma'am. Let me see. Let me look on my schedules. The 22nd of February. I think I'm here. Twenty-second, I'm here. I would literally cry if I could have you be a part of it. Oh, I want to. I totally do to support you. Absolutely. I think these things are.

important. We were just like could not believe that Wynonna Judd said yes to doing that after she had told me 15 times no that she's not coming on the podcast you know or you know said that she'll do it like next year when she was always like oh well we'll get to it yeah yeah but it was just so amazing and then then so I'm like I got the wind underneath my wings right and I'm like okay I'm like who can we have for Vegas and somehow Jacoby's name got through in the in the pot and I'm like I was just like Like, oh, fuck, man. I'm like, I cannot call Jacoby and ask him to do this fucking book tour. And I mean, he's like, you can do it.

I have faith in you. I was cheering you on. I was cheering you on. And I'm just like, oh, God, man. You know, like, fuck. You just, you love these people. So you don't want to like be that person. And so I shoot a text to Jacoby and I'm just like, hey,

I have something I need to ask you. Can you call me when you can? And he hits me back a little bit. a little while later and he's like, hey, I'm getting on a plane, but I'll call you tomorrow, whatever. So the next day, he does exactly that. Hey, I just woke up, give me a call today whenever you want. And I'm like breathing into a bag hyperventilating before I call him. You know, like, I'm just like, me, me, I can't call him. And she's like, call him, bitch. She's counting down the minute. She's like, I'm going to call him right now. No, no, wait. I'm

going to call him now. Yeah. I was so nervous. And I was just like, oh, my God. And so I call him and he answers the phone. and I'm hyperventilating. And I'm just like, Jacoby, and I give him this whole fucking spiel, dude. And he's like, yeah, I'll do it. And I was just like, are you serious? Like, I could not believe that he said yes. And I was just like, oh, my God,

this is so fucking cool. Like, holy shit. I'm going to have fucking Papa Roach at the fucking my Vegas show. And then I'm like, well, who else can I call? I'm on the fucking roll now. So if I can hit Zach from Shinedown, immediate yes love fucking pussy banjo he's the most amazing human in the world i even introduced him as pussy banjo on stage he said i didn't think she was going to say that he said now i have to

explain that to me britt said what the fuck is that brint he thought you called him that she said what'd she just call me and zach goes no that's my nickname yeah no i love shine down so much They're just amazing humans. Burt Kreischer literally came in and the bottom of the ninth called off his flight just so he could be there for this. Wiz was going through his own personal stuff and hadn't left the house in a couple of weeks. And then Soraya, Jack Osborne, like, love Soraya to death. Dude, that's when she's one of my best friends. I will stand by Soraya forever.

Jack Osborne was just like, yes, I want to be a part of it. And what a sweet boy he is. He was so funny. He has so much personality. Yeah, I would love for you to go on his podcast because I feel like you guys vibe so well. Yeah, I love Jack. I can't wait to do like a pod swap. We should do that whenever I'm in L.A.

But yeah, no, Jack. I mean, who else am I missing? Leo Scepey. Leo Scepey said. My baby Leo. I fucking, can, somebody had made a video that went viral that said I was, I asked Leo to be on the podcast as a PR stunt. I never, or I asked Leo to be a part of a show as a, as a, as a,

PR stunt and I'm just like, I've never done anything for a PR stunt ever. I just happen to be in the head. I can just talk about, I have had the most ridiculous headlines. I think of anybody in the world ever. I have the headlines about being in diapers talking about bacterial vaginosis. I mean, you name it. I get a freaking headline. You have the headlines saying some of the, like, very prestigious headlines of like these companies. I just want to know what they think when they're like typing it. Yeah. It's like, Bunny and so wears diapers. Well, at this point they know, at this point they know, that I love it and so I, because I always post about it and laugh about it, which gets their stuff views. So I think it's like a little, just a loving game that me and the media playing now is like, what can we quote bunny saying the weirdest shit? Because it's always been like that. And I love it. The media has been so good to us, man. I am so thankful that they just love us enough to pick up every story that we write. But anyways, back to that video. I was just like, Leo is my friend. Like I love Leo. Leo is probably one of the most stand-up humans that you will ever meet.

And when he shows up, he is the vibe. And he is so sweet. He's so loving. Doing push-ups backstage. Do him push-ups backstage. Like, he needs to make his arms any buffer. You know, like, he's just a great human. And so when we were thinking about, I was thinking about having him at Vegas.

Yes. And he actually picked Nashville. He's like, can I do Nashville? I was like, yeah, I would love to have you at Nashville. So, yeah, we got Leo. The mob wives. How fucking. funny were they? Wild. That was, that was a real scene that played out backstage that flowed onto the

stage. That was crazy. You guys are going to get to see all of these because we're going to be posting the live shows. So when you guys actually finally get to see these live shows, the mob wives was not a skit. Renee had said some foul shit about Karen. I don't know exactly what it was. They kind of talk about it. And then, you know, Ramona and Karen are super close. I think they might even be cousins or something. And so, you know, Renee, I love Renee to death. She is mother, but she is fucking just so damn spicy, man. And, you know, those girls are like, they literally are icons, dude. There's no reason why those girls should not be in each other's lives because they really built something so monumental together.

So I really hope they figure it out and can, you know, have some sort of camaraderie because it was hilarious watching them argue on the stage. I was just sitting there like, this is the show. This is the show. Renee wouldn't put her microphone after her math and you said, I'm giving up on the microphone. Yeah. Renee just did not care about the microphone at all. We were like literally backstage being like,

bro, just put the microphone up to your mouth. Pick up the fucking microphone. And then someone didn't put their mic to their mouth and they were like, you were like, don't be a Renee. Yeah, don't be a Renee, dude. Who else did I miss anybody? Chelsea Lynn, dude. My sister from another mister, my fucking twin.

Chelsea Lynn came in and just so funny dude I love Chelsea anytime I have needed that woman for anything she shows up her and her fucking crew man and I want to be able to return that favor to her so whatever she needs me to do go get tickets to her loose lips to her yeah go to Chelsea Lynn's loose lips tour tell her we sent you because that woman is just so um unselfish like it doesn't matter what you need if she's your friend she's going to be there for you weren't you in the bathroom and you hear someone come in? Tell the bathroom story. I was going the bathroom.

Taking a dump. Yeah. And because I was nervous. And I hear someone come in. So I was like, I got to stop. And I looked down to see, because I was like,

I pretty much know everyone who's back here. I just see these feet with a plain black strap and just one of those like old school sandals. And I said, I said, what did I say? I said, stop. Because that's our thing we say to each other.

I just, I just was like, stop. And she goes, no. And I said, I said, is that my baby girl?

And she was like, God, I love you. Meanwhile, I was like, I'm literally taking a dump right now. She's like, is that why it smells like roses?

Just like anything she says out of her mouth is so funny. No, she's like in character, not in character. She's been opening up a lot about her childhood. And I've seen a lot of clips about it. And that's, pretty it's crazy they lived a really rough childhood yeah i know she touched on it when we did her

Holly. God, she's so beautiful. And I actually got to do Holly's podcast too, so you guys are going to have to watch that when that drops. But yeah, Holly came out.

She showed up. I think she flew in from Cali to do it. Officer Leon. So sweet. And then I get to have, so when I fucked up introducing Papa Roach, I completely spaced that I was having Leon on the officer that arrested me for solicitation on the stage.

And he came out and, you know, we talked a little bit about just, he read the report and got refreshed with it. And it was just really cool being able to have the man that, you know, kind of sent me on the path of never wanting to get arrested again. Not saying I didn't. I think I did get arrested again after that. I don't know.

I'd have to look back. It was just a life changing moment. But it was just a really life changing moment. And oh my God. And Bella the rapper. How freaking cute is she? She's so sweet. Her and her little squad, dude.

Like I love them. They were so great to work with. they were literally the cutest humans just so thankful and just so sweet and like man I would love if I was touring I would bring them back out on tour 100% I want them they're no they're so they're homies for life like I freaking love them if you guys don't follow Bella the rapper please go follow her it was so funny because I went back home right after and she lives in the area and we were literally crossing past like she went to the Santa Cruz beach boardwalk the day before I went like we were literally crossing past the entire trip it was so cool I love that yeah no they're just so

sweet and they were just so like thankful and just so like willing to learn and I mean they showed up and she came and performed at your bar right after after after party at Nashville like they just I don't know they were just really really really really sweet humans and I'm so thankful that we got to cross pass with them but Matt freaking Matthews oh crusty oh little crusty dusty I love him so much he's so fucking funny. He's one of my favorite. fucking humans. You get to spend one on one time with Matt Matthews. He's very calm and sweet and like just very, I don't know.

Like his persona online is who he is. He's still that person and he'll snap at you in a heartbeat. But he really is just a good friend. He's a great friend, but he's just unintentionally funny. Yeah. It doesn't matter what he could be eating yogurt. And it's fucking the funniest shit ever. He's like the male Chelsea Lynn.

Yeah. Yeah. Literally. The way they deliver is so good. He texts me a picture of the little cow I gave him. Like two days ago, he was like a little picture of the cow. Like little like Highland cows for a tour this year.

It's natural. It's just so natural. And we're just so lucky to have been surrounded by such beautiful people. DJ Chill. DJ Chill. Shout out DJ Chill, dude. He literally held that entire, every show together. He had a playlist.

he had introduced every guest like chill just did such a good job and I just love him so much what a great crew our crew was small but we made it seem like we had the biggest production yeah and work daddy work daddy fucking worked his ass off came through worked his ass off helped so much while still getting clips out and editing and like

Literally, every person that played such big roles. There was no role unseen in all of this. And like, I think what was really cool was last night when we went to the Opry, how many people stopped us and was like, that was an unreal show. Like, it literally was so captivating. Every single person said that. And I thought that was really special. You know what else I thought was really cool?

is Briley King and Dene Hayes. They literally came to the show, watched the show, and left. Didn't want to come in the back. And Jesse Lawless. I'm like, what the hell, guys? Like, if anybody deserves to come back and hang out with us,

it's you guys, you guys are our friends, you know? Like, I was like, I text brightly. I'm like, dude, that means so much to me that you did that. Like, that was, like, huge in my book. She texted me beforehand. And she was like, do you think they're going to let me bring my Saviom Blanc inside? It's like, she's so funny, man.

I was just so thank you. I didn't even know they were there until after they were already at home. Yeah, they posted that they were there. And I was like, they're so shoo. I know. Just everybody showed up and it was just really cool and just, man, just thank you guys so much. I know we've been talking your air off about all this stuff. But yeah. So we'll get back to a normal ask, tell confess. Wait, we had one other person show up. Who? Hold on. Can I play it? Oh. Yes. And of course, our most favorite. guest of all time. But I mean, he is such a sweet boy. Meeting Bob out was the best, dude. I love Bob. What a sweet little angel.

So much they all had matching he wore you. Like they literally made a shirt with you on it. And then the two healthcare workers that he had had, had, uh, love you like a bowl of cherry shirts. I know. I know. So sweet. God, I love him so much.

No. I think he got a little shy whenever he met us too. I did you. I love him. And he got to close out the Los, sorry, he got to close out the LA show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So special. We'll definitely have a clip of that out on social media soon.

But yeah, it was just overall an amazing time. And I'm just so thankful that everybody came out and to all the guests, to all the people that bought tickets, traveled, everything. I just wanted to take this Ashtel Confest to give you, you know, just give you guys a recap. And thank you guys so much for coming out because you really made my first tour so special. And I'll probably never do another one again. but and only because I'm not a tour I'm not I hate being in front of people

I don't like it like my husband is their performer I am behind the scenes behind the desk behind the fucking camera like my husband is he likes to be out there that's his thing and it's so funny because everybody's like are you ready to tour you ready to tour and they even went to Jay and they're like I bet she got the tour bug and Jay's like I bet she didn't I know my wife he's like there's no way she'll do another tour

so I just really it could be it could be my final tour you never know like I just really appreciate everybody being a part of it and the team too like shout out to you guys you guys did such a good job you guys showed up I mean did everything you guys could to make sure that the tour ran smoothly and Seb our videographer also who helped Andy Andy like god I fucking love Andy man he's just is such a major asset to our company he's actually my husband's videographer but anytime we need something I literally he comes through for us all the time so the book is out we have made new New York Times bestseller twice.

We find out again today. Today. Today, yeah. If we make it again, which it is. It'll be five in New York right now. Oh, yeah, it should be out. Oh, is it? Check.

Is it three? It's between three and four cent on time. Then yeah. So we'll look, but I mean, listen, I'm fine with not being on it three weeks in a row. I've made it two weeks in a row number one. So number one audio and number one bestseller. And wow, dude, like what a fucking crazy. crazy ride this has been. It's been just so insane to even think that I'm a New York Times bestseller.

If I can fucking do it, any of you guys can do it. Okay. Like this should show you guys that all of you guys can do this, dude. Like, because I didn't even write this book with the intention of becoming a New York Times bestseller. I actually didn't even know about it until I think Mimi was like, yeah, and we're going to try to get you on the New York Times bestseller list. And I was like, oh, you could do that. That can happen. Yeah. It's just like, yeah. Did we sold, was it 150,000 or 200,000 books the first week? Right around the 200. Yeah.

200,000 books the first week. And then it just keeps going. And everybody just keeps leaving me videos online of like with reviews of the book. And it's just been kind of a beautiful movement of everybody just embracing this story. Yeah. And it's okay. Listen, I'm fine with not being on New York Times bestsellers. three weeks in a row. I feel like you'll be on the list. The thing is, is will you be number one again.

Yeah. And so all the new copies will now have the emblem on it that she is the number one. So like here's the old one right behind her right next to her will be the new seal. Because like everything sold out so quick. And like they were rushing to put things in production. Like they sent us an email and was like you guys, Amazon called and was like, what is happening? Because it's like it was selling out so, so fast. Yeah. Carrie, my publisher was just like, like I don't even think she expected it to do what it did. I got the sweetest call from her right after announcing to you and she called me and she goes, I've done this for 27 years and this feels like a first time for me.

And I feel like that's such a compliment for someone that is so seasoned in the industry. Yeah. To be able to make someone feel like that is very special. No, this whole experience has been so surreal and just such a beautiful journey. You know, writing that book. I would love to do an Ask Tell Confest where people. just ask me questions about the book. Yeah.

So I think maybe we'll do that. We'll put that on social media sometime this week. And maybe after I get my facelift, which you guys are going to be, so you guys will be hearing this, but it's Wednesday. You guys will be hearing this on Friday. I'll be getting my facelift on Sunday, the 15th. So send lots of prayers for your girl. But I do plan on doing some Ask Tal Confesses while I'm healing.

I'm going to look crazy, guys. I'm going to be bruised. It's going to be a little weird. Don't freak out. my doctor is really fucking good. So everything's going to go great. But yeah, I would love to answer questions that you guys have about the book. The number one question that pops out on my mind that I have been getting is everybody's like,

oh, there's a picture of you with your mom and you look a lot older than three months. And I just want to explain to you guys that, one, a lot of stuff got cut out of the book. Like so much stuff got cut out of the book. So sometimes timelines seem a little off. That has nothing to do with me. That was editors. But there was a time where around one years old, and we're going to drop the podcast with Bill coming up soon so you guys can hear my actual story from my dad before he had passed, way before he had passed.

But it literally corroborates everything that I wrote in the book. And around one years old, my mom wanted to come back into the picture and she wanted to see me. And, you know, my dad is a dude and probably wanted to see my mom too. and she came back in the picture for like a very short minute. I think it was probably a matter of days. And we took that picture, obviously. You can see how far away from my mom I am. Like you can tell I'm not even like,

don't even want to kind of be near her. But she popped back in and my dad realized very quickly that she did not have good intentions and didn't plan on being a mom. So that ended very shortly. But I thought it was important to put that picture in the book because that is one of the last pictures I had with my mom. even though I don't remember it.

And if you hear my dad tell the story, he says, you know, she left you at three months. I had to find you, took her to court. And then she tried to come back around at one year old, at one years old in the podcast. He says that. So yeah, but if you guys have any more questions, start leaving them below this podcast and we'll answer them. And then, like, I'll put on our dumb blonde Facebook. We'll do a status over there. And you guys can ask as many questions as you want.

but I would love to answer everybody's questions that they have about the book. A lot of people keep asking me who karma is. And here's the thing. Like, I didn't tell his name because, one, I don't, he doesn't deserve to receive a bunch of hate. You know, like, this happened over a decade ago. And he could be a changed person for all I know. But two, it's like I wanted to respect his privacy also because he does have a daughter. and, you know, it's just, there's so many just sensitivities I wanted to have with that situation.

Not that I was protecting him because some people are like, you're protecting him. And it's like, no, I'm not protecting him. I'm protecting his daughter who I love. You're also protecting your own peace. Still, yeah, still in my life. And again, yes, I am protecting my peace at the same time because I'm not out here to rage wars with people. Yeah. I already have enough people coming against us online, making up absolute complete fucking crazy.

lies. And, you know, the last thing I need is fucking beefing with my exes online too, because I'm not going to beef with anybody. I am in my peaceful era. And I have learned, dude, silence is so powerful. So much more powerful. You want to believe shit. Believe it. Yeah. I don't care. You come to my page with negativity. You'll get blocked. I don't care. I'll do it. Don't get time for it. Yeah, like, just don't have time for it. We have so much good things that are going on in our life that I don't care if you want to believe lies. All right, guys. Well, we will return to normal ask tell. confess next week, but I love you guys. See you later. I'm going to get a facelift. Bye.
