I've been doing a little spring closet reset lately, trying to be more intentional about what I'm
actually wearing, less clutter, more pieces that I reach for all the time. That's honestly why I keep
going back to quince. Everything just feels elevated without being complicated. The fabrics are really nice.
The fits actually make sense and the pricing doesn't make you feel like you're being robbed just to have
something quality. They use premium materials like 100% European linen, organic cotton, and super soft denim.
But most pieces start around $50, which still kind of surprises me.
Their spring stuff especially has been on repeat for me.
It's lightweight, breathable, and just easy.
Like you can throw something on and still look put together without trying too hard.
And it's not just clothing.
Their accessories are really good, too.
I've been loving their leather bags lately.
They're made from 100% hand-woven Italian leather and genuinely look way more expensive than they are.
What I also like is that Quince works directly with ethical factories and cuts out the middleman,
so you're actually paying for the quality, not just the label.
I've been living in their loungeware lately, like the kind of sets you can wear around the house,
but also throw on with sneakers and go out in.
Their crazy soft hold up really well and don't have that cheap fill you usually get with basics.

and that includes old-school banks.
Chime is not that.
We're talking no overdraft fees, no monthly fees, no minimum balance nonsense.
Like, why are we still paying banks to hold our money?
Couldn't be me.

You can build your credit without the stress and don't even get me started on their savings,

And the Chime card?
This is where it gets good.
You can build credit and earn cash back using your own money.
On the same card, no interest, no annual fees, no weird guches.
Plus, when you've got qualifying direct deposits, you can get 1.5% cash back on everyday purchases,
which adds up real quick. I've been all about working smarter, not harder, and CHIME just makes sense.

So thank you guys so much.
I just wanted to tell you guys, I just got the news.
I don't know if you guys saw the TikTok I posted, but my book is number four in the world, baby.
It's number four in the world.
Like, that is all because of you guys.
Like, I cannot even take any credit for that.
If it wasn't for you guys, I wouldn't even be on this stage.
So, you guys, give yourselves a round of applause, please.
I love you guys.
I will share the stage with you guys any day.
So growing up in Vegas, has anybody got to read the book yet?
Because I know it doesn't drop, but some people say it's out.
No?
Okay.
So growing up in Vegas, you know, I really grew up in like that, you know, you're in Vegas.
So it's like you love the mafia, you love the mob and all that stuff.
I even had a freaking Chihuahua named Gotti.
Okay?
Who was your favorite mobster?
I would just say Lucky Luciano.
We love Lucky Luciano.
How about you guys?
Who was your favorite mobster?
Yeah, baby.
I'm pretty gangster, but I don't know.
Who is your favorite mobster?
Godi?
Yeah.
I mean, he was like a ladies man, so yeah, for sure.
But then, you know, the show came out,
and it was called Mob Wives.
And I got to see these strong, amazing, beautiful women
who fucking would fight at the drop of a dime,
but would also love the shit out of you
and were raising their families with this trauma that they grew up in
and just totally polarizing and captivating America.
I fell in love with them.
So I was lucky enough to do a podcast, what was it,
March, March, March.
I did that a couple years ago, and I got to meet like three of them.
So, why don't you guys step into my office, and we'll have some guests come out in a little bit.
So this is now, oh, by the way, guys, this is Alex.
This is my tour manager.
Isn't he hot?
He's hot, right?
I just found out he was married.
I was like, womp, womp.
I can't auction you off tonight.
So we are going to turn this into a podcast.
kind of incorporate it
because you guys know the podcast is
really just taken off and I just
love... Help.
I'm flaccid over here.
The podcast is taken off and again,
I just have to thank you guys so freaking much
for that. But
once we get... It's all right. I'll just hold it. No worries.
So anyways,
back to the mob wives. Who was you guys'
favorite mob wives?
Okay, I heard Renee.
Somebody said Big Ang, Drita, okay, Karen, Ramona, all of them, yeah?
All right, well, I wouldn't need you guys to put your hands together for Karen, Ramona, and Renee, baby.
Excited to have you guys here.
Okay, can we just talk about how good fucking Renee looks?
What the hell?
Like you, it's transformation since last time I saw you.
Manjaro.
She said manjaro.
Dude, you look amazing.
You look phenomenal.
Thank you.
I'm so happy to have you guys here.
We're so happy to be here.
When was the last time I got to see you guys, like two years ago?
Yeah, when we did the podcast.
So there's talk of mob wives coming back.
Is it coming back?
Can we confirm or deny or possibly tease?
Well, I could tell you that it's not going to be a reboot because we don't want to rehash.
Oh.
I need a microphone.
You said it's not going to be a reboot?
Yeah, nobody wants to rehash what happened before.
So it'll be like another show, but with like the main characters.
No.
No.
So is any of the original cast going to come back?
I know I am.
Oh, I love that.
If they asked you guys to be on it, would you guys be on it?
I definitely wouldn't.
No.
It's not my cup of tape.
Okay.
And not you either?
Yeah, I have no comment.
All right.
Well, shit.
Let's get into some.
some questions, guys.
Shit.
Well, shit.
So, okay, on the show,
everybody knows that you guys, there was always
like turmoil and stuff like that.
Out of all of you guys, who apologized
the least?
Trita.
Trita.
Who holds a grudge like
its generational wealth?
Renee.
I feel like you're holding a grudge right now.
Wait a second. You ain't been either. We all hold grudges.
That's for sure. I think we'll have a grudge right now.
We all have a grudges.
but Renee, we'll hold it to the...
What's going on, guys? Why are we beefing?
Why are we beefing? Why are we beefing?
No, I'm just saying from the show, everything,
like we have a grudge from the past.
I'll tell you why we're beef in. I got called the S word.
Not a slut. Worth than that.
A fucking stalker, money.
A stalker.
Renee, you called her a stalker?
I didn't call you a stalker.
Yes, you did.
She called me much worse.
To your sister told Karen that I was a stalker.
You thought that I, who had much better things to do,
going on your story and I told Karen something
because you were beefing.
Is this an episode of Mobb Life?
Every time they beep, I get dragged in the middle.
Last time we were good.
She was giving me Mangaro tips, this,
that.
I rather you call me a slut
than a stalker.
But you're not a slut.
And I'm not a stoker.
A few other things, but I wouldn't say
a slut or stalker.
But do you guys see how communication is key?
Yes.
Look how much you guys
just solved in two minutes right here.
Yeah, I think you know
you guys are a sisterhood.
And I know that you guys might beef like family
and like shit gets said and like whatever
it is, but you guys really like raised
a generation of us and
you guys are fucking, you guys
like literally are icons, dude.
Thank you. Thank you. And listen,
no matter what we go through, I can never take away
from what the show was. The original
cast, Mob Wies, was iconic.
And whether we like each other, and I'm not
talking about her, I'm just saying in general the whole cast,
whether people like each other.
Well, I don't like most of them.
But we like each other.
It's just all of us together came and put something great.
No, you guys really are.
Like for real.
You guys made history.
I will say every girl, every girl made that show what it was.
Absolutely.
But they had to go with it like a couple of seasons.
Yeah.
Who practiced their comebacks in the mirror?
Trita.
I think she.
Did those comebacks just happen naturally?
Was it like...
Well, it had to happen naturally
because nothing was scripted.
You guys weren't like in the shower like, yeah,
fuck you bitch.
Like, you know, like...
I would. I would be in there like shadow boxing
and all that.
Cursing and comebacks are two different things.
Like I think a comeback, especially with us
we just rolled over tongue because we're just very
high strung. We're chill to a degree
but when you get us there, you get us there. So it just
comes natural. Yeah. No.
You guys got that dog in you.
We didn't have Saratoga back then, Bunny.
So, you know. I've been over here trying to ease
to a sip. I'm like, you know, it might be the standout one. No bottles on stage. I'm parched over here.
Who would start an argument just because they were bored?
Renee. Renee, we can tell. You want to see me do it?
I think we saw it about 10 minutes ago. Yes, you do. I love it. I love you guys so much.
Who would text sweet and then show up spicy? Okay, I'll be honest. I got pulled into the red light
mask craze. Everybody was hyping it up like it was the next big thing. If you've seen my TikTok so you know.
So I thought, fine, I'm trying it.
I wore it every night, just waiting for that glow-up moment.
And nothing.
No difference, no glow.
Just me being consistent for no reason.
Now I know why it literally couldn't work.
Most of those masks are so underpowered.
They're basically not even close to what the doctors use.
It's basically like expecting cute little lights to give you real results.
But real red light therapy, that's what you get with light stem ellipza.
This is medical grade made in the U.S.
and actually used by dermatologists and esthetians,
like over 60,000 of them.
And now you can have that same treatment at home.
I have the ellipsa, and I am obsessed.
I'm getting the same anti-aging technology my doctor uses,
but on my own time.
And I could actually see and feel the difference.
My skin looks smoother, more refreshed, just overall better.
It's FDA cleared to reduce wrinkles
and helps boost your natural collagen and elastin.
And the best part, I'm saving time and money,
not running to appointments all the time once you use the real thing.
There's no going back.
If you want the same medical grade technology at home that doctors use to treat wrinkles
and slow aging, go to Lightstem, spelled out L-I-G-H-T-S-T-I-M dot com.
Use my code Bunny to save 10%.
Again, that's code B-U-N-N-N-I-E at Lightstem.com.
Okay, be honest.
Are you one of those people that actually likes your money?
Yeah, same.
So why are we out here handing it over to these big wireless companies like it's a donation?
These big wireless carriers will have you paying hundreds of dollars a month for what?
Spotty service, random fees, and free perks.
That somehow cost you more in the end.
Make it make sense.
That's why I'm telling y'all about MintMobile.
Because baby, $15 a month for premium wireless?
Yeah.
We're not doing things the old way anymore.
Like, you could literally be saving.
hundreds a year. That's gas money, shopping, money, self-care money, whatever, whatever you're
into. Mint gives you high-speed data, unlimited talk and text all on the nation's largest 5G
network. And the best part, you can keep your phone, keep your number, switch over in minutes
with ESIM, and boom, you're saving money instantly. No contracts, no drama, no weird fine print,
just common sense. I switched over and the service has been just as good, if not better, than what
was paying way too much for before. And the amount I'm saving every month, yeah, I'm not going back.
If you like your money, Mintmobile is for you. Shop plans at mintmobile.com slash BUNN-I-E. That's
mintmobile.com slash bunny. Up front payment of $45 for three-month five-gigabyte plan required
equivalent to $15 a month. New customer offer for first three months only. Then full-price plan
options available. Taxes and fees extra. See Mint Mobile for details.
maybe me sweet you would like text and be cool and then when you showed up it was like you were ready to fight no it would like what would transpire after the text on the way to the scene you had like a lot of our show was kind of like the production was like involved in it and I don't mean like the executives I just mean the everyday today production yeah so it's like we were all just kind of like by the time we would text to get to a scene God knows what could happen behind scenes the behind scenes behind scenes and behind scenes
was the show.
And by the time it aired,
oh, that was bad.
I want to pay Karen a compliment.
She would walk in, still calm,
but if the wrong word was said,
that's when it would happen.
But she did go in with good intentions.
See, I knew you guys love each other.
And I had a moment when we set the backyard on fire, was it?
Wait, what?
Back up.
Oh, I burnt my wedding down and all my photo.
It was very therapeutic.
It was excellent.
Yeah.
So where can we find, where can we find,
Where can we find the mob wives behind the scene footage?
Because I feel like we need to put that out.
No, no, no, no.
Is somebody going to jail if it gets released?
We're sister at. Is she here?
I need to talk to her about it.
Well, she would have them.
A lot of the fan favorites will be crushed if the behind the scenes get released.
Yeah.
Why is that?
Because a lot of people who thought they were so tough and rough.
The green screen gangsters.
Oh, I mean, not you.
I know what I'm saying about, you know what I'm talking about.
People that were crying.
Who do we consider the green screen gangster?
Oh, oh, I'm sorry.
Okay, you want me to say it?
That was the cue.
Renee, talking to your damn microphone.
I do not need a microphone.
She really doesn't.
I think, okay, I'll lead off with this.
If I was crying, I was really crying.
But I was always crying.
So somebody who likes the shadow box, we'll keep it like that.
She's a great fucking actress.
I'll tell you that.
Yes, Academy Award.
None of us were acting.
We were very, oh, okay, in a couple things, she wasn't.
We were very much in the moment, and if it was happening,
it was a reaction to what was happening then.
Like, when the feds pinched 127 people,
like, they were like, oh, you guys scripted that.
No, we didn't.
No, we did not.
How I found out my ex-husband was a rat was who brought me the paper first?
It was in the newspaper.
Yeah.
That's how I found out.
Karen was there when I had my nervous breakdown in the kitchen.
Ramona.
All right, maybe not a stalker.
Can you guys hug?
Can we have a hug?
I can't believe I said stalker.
No, you did.
Your sister told me she said she was storker.
But I would never say stalker.
You said she looked at your story.
See what she says.
She said stalker.
Absolutely.
I will do that.
and if I called you a stalker
then I called you a stalker
but I'm not a stalker
No you're a bitch but you're not a step up
You're gonna be
You can stalk me all day long baby
Okay
If I had a stalker that looks like you
Who doesn't want to stalk you
It would be kind of a fetish
All right
I'd be into it
Did anyone ever want their
Did anyone ever warn their husbands
Like don't talk to her
Did you guys have husbands
You had a husband
No I
Renee
Yes
Yes
Okay but wait
Not us
It could be the
It could be the
I've
Abs of fucking
Everybody
Yeah
Cheating son of a bitch
Yeah
I mean
Everybody let's say
Fuck Jr.
Right
Master Jr.
Fuck that guy
Oh shit
Did I say something wrong?
Oh my
Just having you guys up here
And seeing the love
That you guys have
For each other
Like it is the sweetest thing
And I know you came out here
A little spicy
Renee
I'm hot
Yeah
She's hot
She's hot
We didn't even talk in the green screen.
Are you serious?
I walked in there.
I thought it was all joyous.
You want part two?
Okay, I'll give you part two.
Let's hear part two.
So all of a sudden, haven't spoken to her
besides the stalker thing, I get,
because Karen opened it, because we were busy today.
We were doing hair and makeup.
We were just enjoying itself.
She goes, Renee sent us a message.
I go, where did she text?
I didn't see any taxes.
No.
Damn.
Basically, trying to be mother handed.
What did she say?
We need to come together.
I said we needed to be united front.
But why would we not be together?
Why would we not be together if there was not a problem?
If you didn't call me a stalker, you didn't have any issues with her.
I didn't call you a fucking stalker.
So for last time, again, last time I said to you, we were good.
I'm not even going to get into what you call me, but for no reason.
Like, me and you have.
What is it?
Let's talk about it.
No, she went on a thing, a rampage sent me a hundred things.
I wasn't talking about Karen.
I was talking about my ex-husband and Jean Borell.
Not anything to do with Karen.
But you DMs me, a whole bunch of stuff and then took it down.
I just followed, huh.
I did.
I did.
What are we five?
No, we're not five.
So you're, okay.
But I don't like being bullied.
So you did that.
I'm a bully.
I stuck up for this girl through like six seasons of mob wives.
You know what?
Six seasons of mob wives stuck up.
They love you.
This is your night.
Yes.
But we're talking about mob wives.
Everyone wants to see.
No, but this is real.
This is reality.
Everyone wants a revamp.
Like, they haven't seen us.
So this is exactly what would be happening if the cameras were rolling.
Listen, I don't know about you guys.
but I'm ready for six episodes of this.
Like, I'm ready.
I don't know about you guys.
I am fucking ready.
All right, let me ask you guys a couple more questions.
Who here has blocked and unblocked each other the most?
Renee.
I do it.
She blocked me and then it made me unfollow her.
That was it.
She blocked me.
Renee said fuck that microphone.
I was so what if I blocked you.
I fucking blocked you.
But aren't too old to block each other?
Like, where does it end?
Why don't we too old to walk in a dressing room
and not even say hello?
Well, because you just sent a message
before, like, I didn't know there was some beef
that really had my blood boiling. I'm like, now she's
trying to be mother. You weren't involved in it.
So, Bunny, we're saying we're so proud of you.
I cannot.
Your book is so inspiring.
Your book is amazing. We're so happy.
You've got this. I can get for Bunny. It's awesome.
I can listen to you guys talk all night.
Like, seriously.
I'm, but listen, here's the thing.
Like, this is what made reality TV
for you guys, and this is why we need to get you guys
back on the air because this is what the world is.
Renee, it's not working.
I hate to tell you.
You need a new therapist, bitch.
Get your money back.
Get your money back for sure.
No.
If there was a mob wives group chat today,
who would leave first and who would you invite?
Trita would leave first.
Will we invite her?
I think we had a group chat name.
She made like Elvis left the building.
Yeah, she just.
She wouldn't even be in the group chat.
She said if we had one.
I know, and I'm saying we'd leave her out.
Yeah.
Oh, who would leave first?
Who would leave first?
You?
Renee would block everybody and then want to get added back in.
No, I wouldn't leave the group chat.
I'd get a little crazy with my mouth, but I wouldn't walk out of the group chat.
I'm going to block you afterwards, but I wouldn't walk out of group chat.
Can we leave here tonight with you guys at least giving each other a hug?
Because I feel like you guys are fucking a sisterhood, and you guys are such fucking
icons. And I mean, I'm just so
thankful that you guys were even here.
It's going to be fake.
Aw. All right. Well, you guys fucking work this
shit out because I want to see. I actually
don't work it out and get the fuck back on TV.
Okay? How about that? Thank you guys
so much for being here to now. You guys give it up
for the girl.
I mean, it's never
a dull moment with them, right?
Where is my publisher
Carrie at? Carrie, where are you at,
baby?
This is, you guys, right here. This woman
is Carrie Thornton from Harper Collins Day Street.
She is my publisher.
She believed in me.
She's the reason I'm here.
My agent Sloan, I don't know where you're at.
I need to say, you guys, can we give these ladies a round of applause and their teams?
I'm so thankful for the badass women that I have surrounding me
and that have helped me on this journey.
Like, you guys have no freaking idea, man.
Like, I'm just so thankful and so humbled.
I'm also so thankful for two girls who came into my life
that believe in me every step of the way that literally have put their lives on hold to make
sure that my dream came true so that it could be their dreams to come true. And we've kind of
formed this little thing we call the Coven. So I don't know if you guys are ready, but let's
have Mimi and Haley come out. See, babies. How about you guys, but I am so happy they're here.
Did you guys watch the mob vibes? We just watched it. That was fucking great, right?
We lived that.
That was hilarious.
I fucking love them so much.
It's a lot of energy.
You got to take it in.
No, they're amazing.
So now that we have them sitting on the couch,
we are going to do a little segment that we call
Astel
Confed.
Wait, I can't get a whistle out.
As tell confit.
There we go.
I got it out.
But the crazy thing is,
is they were like, no, we can't have audience participation.
And I was like, go fuck yourself.
I was like, I want audience participation.
But here's the deal.
You guys can come up and ask any question.
So if you guys don't know what Ask Tal confess is,
it's ask a question, tell something, or confess something.
And it needs to be juicy, and it can't be like,
we need it as weird as possible.
Please.
So please, if you guys have some weird shit, come up and tell us.
But nothing, that's like bad weird,
because I'm going to tell you to sit.
down. Like, don't come up and confess a murder
because I've had two people do that.
Don't do that. And I'm like, you know I can see
you, right? Like,
how am I supposed to go to sleep at night
knowing this, but here we are.
Are we accomplices if they do? I don't know.
I don't know. I didn't ask
for that, all right? But anyway,
so we're going to kick it off because we do
know that it gets weird here in
New York because a couple
of you guys submitted
some anonymous
ones already, and they were
Really weird.
And then how are we going to pick people to come up?
Do you guys...
They can just come on up to the microphone.
Yeah.
If any of you guys want to come up,
start walking up to the microphone,
we're going to talk about these.
Head over.
Girl, I feel like we should start with you.
She ran to the microphone.
I'm scared.
She's a runner. She's a jack star.
Let's start with her.
All right.
You know it's good.
She ran.
From the back.
What's that, baby?
I'm just bringing up the microphone.
Oh, shit, I write fucking great.
I need that clip.
Somebody clip that for me, please.
That is great.
She's like, no, I'm not confessing shit, bitch.
Not happening.
That was her confession.
Yeah, that was a confession.
That was the time.
All right, so I'm going to kick it off.
These were some anonymous ones that you guys wrote in.
So this person said,
I love the smell of my apartment after a night of White Castle and farting all day.
Same.
God dang, it smells heavenly.
What the hell?
Did you write that in?
That was you.
That does not like something I would write in.
But seriously, White Castle?
I think, who likes White Castle out here?
No.
I do love Harold and Kumar go to White Castle.
That's nice.
Let's burn this motherfucker down, Pookie!
I got to meet him the other day.
I was so excited about it.
You have no idea.
Oh, you literally said it to him.
I did.
It was the first words.
I didn't say hi.
I just quoted his movie line to him because I just love him so much.
So much.
All right, so you're not bringing the microphone, are you?
What's that?
You're not bringing the microphone, are you?
I'm out what?
Never mind.
What's your name, baby?
What's your name?
On Facebook, I'm BJ.
You know me as BJ.
Hi, BJ.
And I always say we're like Timu, Bunny, and Jelly,
because that's what we were for the last two Halloween.
No, you're not Timu, baby.
You are us.
I love that.
I love that.
I love you.
I've been very sick, and you have gotten me through so much.
Oh.
But I have a question.
Let's go.
You never have fucking panty lines.
Do you wear panties?
I don't know.
I know.
You want to come find out?
I know.
Panties in like 15, 20 years.
So it depends on the occasion.
If I'm in leather, you have to wear panties with leather because I got that wape.
You know what I'm saying?
Like there's no way you can not wear a panty.
Yeah, no.
But the majority of the time, no, I would just be freeballing it.
For sure.
I can confirm.
Women, we got to let it breathe too, right?
Like, come on.
And your bum looks awesome tonight.
Oh, my God.
You're so sweet, BJ.
We love you.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.

The OG right there.

Up on the microphone, baby.
Don't be a Renee.

You can hand it right there by Side Sage, of course.
Yes, thank you so much.

Oh, you're so sweet.

You guys, we're going to pause real quick right here and you guys read one of yours.
Oh, I got a good one.
Hold on.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
This person said I have a fetish of sniffing and licking armpits that are either sweaty or hairy.
Nice.
Dude, where are you at?
Stand up.
I need to know who this was.
Recently, I was in the office and had a fun conversation with a colleague in which led us to hugging.
In that, my hand went into her armpit.
After realizing I sniffed it, should I tell her?
What do you guys think?
What do you guys think?
No.
I know, we have mixed reviews.
Some people are saying yes and some people are saying no.
I say, it depends.
If somebody told me they sniffed my armpit, I'd be like, I'm sorry.
You know, like that's freaking onion roll.
Like, there's no way.
Like the lasagna.
I don't know. How would you feel if somebody did that to you?
I don't want to know.
I don't want to know.
No, don't tell me you sniffed me anywhere.
Hi, baby.
What's your name?
Hi, Bunny.
I love you.
you.
And so I can't beat that last story.
But my whole life I've had decent hair, right?
Mimi, I need a hair redo.
Can you help me?
Oh, of course, of course.
You have beautiful hair, by the way.
Yeah, you don't start fucking with it, man.
Yeah, like gorgeous.
I'm like, old girl now.
My husband's like, leave it.
I'm like, cut it.
No, it's so beautiful.
What do you guys say?
Leave it or cut it.
Leave it or cut it.
Leave it.
People, dude, I pay for extensions that long.
dude like keep the hair promise you love you love you baby go ahead mama hi hi beautiful
you guys all look amazing thank you so much so I just
congratulations oh let's go baby heck yeah I got into the beauty industry industry and how
you guys balance the work and friend life I know it must be difficult but I always am kind of like
I always have questions because I also have a best friend in the beauty industry and we always want to start something up but we never know how.
You go first.
Well, I've always done art on my life.
She's so good.
This bitch can draw like a motherfucker dude.
In college, I was in a theatrical makeup class and my teacher literally pulled me to the side and was like, you need to get out of here.
You got a talent so I dropped out of college and I went to makeup school in Nashville and then
I wanted to do celebrity makeup and I got my first celebrity the first year I was in Nashville.
I worked at Mac and that helped me a lot, which nowadays it probably won't.
So I'm going to say don't do that.
But social media really helped me.
Instagram really helped me, word of mouth.
Balancing work and friend life though, it's hard.
So don't do what I did.
I would literally go to the club until like 3 a.m.
and then take clients at 8 a.m.
Still drunk.
She used to come in smelling like vodka, dude.
And like, yeah, it was crazy.
Yeah, now, though, I only have her, so it's way easier to balance.
I stole her from the world.
Yeah, I retired.
That's the dream.
That is the dream.
Yeah, my dream come true.
Aw, I love you.
Stop when we make out.
Yes.
I thought you'd never ask.
You guys know this bitch is finicky, dude.
It's getting weird.
It's getting weird.
It's getting weird.
It's getting weird.
Okay, can we talk about how unhinged online shopping has gotten for a second?
Like, why do I have 47 different logins?
All with passwords, I swear I've never seen in my life.
And every time I go to checkout, it's like reset password, verify code, stand on one leg and spin around.
I'm over it.
But then you see that little purple button at checkout and you already know.
It's about to be easy.
No digging for your wallet.
No remembering passwords, no drama.
You just tap it and boom, you're done.
That right there?
Elite behavior.
That's Shopify.
And it's honestly one of the best things to happen to online shopping.
And y'all already know.
I use Shopify for my own site, bunnyXO.com.
So I'm on both sides of it, shopping and running a business.

furniture upgrades and some accent pieces and it pulled everything together way faster than I expected.
I'm even working on my outdoor setup now because I'm trying to be outside as much as possible

Can you lower it, baby? Just lower it.
I'm okay. Yeah, thank you.
Okay. I just want to tell you I love you. And like as someone who's been in abuse relationships,
I love that you raise awareness and break that stigma.
But my confession is that I have really bad gay d'ar,
and I just found out that Elton John was gay like two weeks ago.
What?
Now, honey, the freaking, the outfits, the songs that he writes about men,
nothing clocked, nothing triggered up here.
But I love you.
I love you, too, baby.
I love T you too, baby.
We love you.
Go ahead, baby.
Hi, Bonnie.
I finally have my moment.
I don't even know how to follow that.
Aww.
But I came here tonight from Connecticut,
and I bought my friend,
and I'm super excited to be here in all of your presence
because I follow you guys on Snapchat,
and I know I'm almost 50 years old, so that's corny.
You look fucking hot.
You guys, you're hot.
You're hot.
Y'all are hot.
Y'all are my inspiration,
because there's a lot of corny, horrible people in the world,
and you guys give me faith.
I just lost my mom a couple months ago,
and you've given me some hope because it's been a rough journey.
I have one of my best friends here tonight, Allie, and we love, Allie.
What up, Allie?
We drove here from Connecticut, which is an inspiration all its own,
but you guys are amazing, and Jelly is amazing.
and your music really touches my soul.
Thank you.
I've been through it the last couple of months,
but thank God for you guys.
Thank you.
We appreciate you.
Thank you so much, baby.
Sorry to hear about your mom too.
And I did my eye shadow just for you, Haley,
and it probably got fucked up and it's okay.
Get it.
All right, Haley, you want to read yours really quick?
Yeah, because I think it goes hand in hand with yours
and I didn't even plan this over here.
Oh, shit.
It doesn't have to do with buttholes and poop,
because that's all she ever reads on Asked Hocin Pest.
No, I wouldn't do that.
That's my next one.
All right.
Okay.
I woke up in the middle of the night after sex to the girl fingering herself to orgasm while sucking my armpit hair.
You guys are some fucking freaks in New York.
I thought I was kinky.
It's going to get a hairball.
What the hell?
What is the same person?
Two submissions is wild.
That was wild.
That is, yeah.
No, I mean, what's the, what is the chance that there is a.
at two armpit fetishes under one roof.
I'm not understanding.
There's no way.
We've never had armpit fetish confessions
until we got to New York.
Oh.
Listen, we don't yuck anybody's yum, okay?
We don't yuck anyone's yum as it.
All right, go ahead, baby.
What's your name?
I'm Molly.
I'm 21.
I love your name.
Lolly, that is so cute.
I'm 21.
I just turned 21.
I came all the way from Texas by myself.
Let's go.
Happy birthday,
Day to you, dear Lolly.
Don't make me creed out on here.
I want to give you all the juicy confess.
I'm so sorry, say that again?
I wanted to give you all a juicy confess.
Let's fucking go.
It's not my story.
It's my mom's, and if she sees this,
she's probably going to kill me.
Oh, shit.
Mom turned out.
Well, one time, and there may or may not have been illegal substances.
It's okay.
We don't need to like that.
But one time when I was like 14,
my mom got really mad at her ex
for taking her car to another girl's house.
So she took my 14-year-old friend.
with no license, no nothing, didn't know how to drive.
Again, illegal and substances involved.
Just to drive her, make her drive her an hour away into piss in his sunroof.
Pissing his sunroof?
Yes.
Fucking shout out to mom.
And then the side bitch got in it the next day and then called her mad as fuck,
wondering why they ever was piss all in the car.
Did she ever find out who did it?
Yeah, she was getting my mom's car.
Oh, my God.
That is hilarious.
Mom's a G though.
Shout out to Mom.
Go mom.
Yay, we love that one.
Thank you so much. That was good. That was dope. All right, go ahead, buddy. I'm like sweating. Oh, it's all my. It's okay.
I promise not to be long-winded in. I have ADHD and I promise to be as quick as possible.
But back when tickets went on sale, I was so excited that I won the Bunny Exo pre-sale lottery and I posted it on Instagram and then you re-shared it.
I'm Hollywood
XO underscore 10184
I'm XO because I'm obsessed with the weekend
and XO like
So is my husband
Yeah I know
I can't wait until they collaborate
Coming soon
Right
XO is a public record
But anyways
Country is like so foreign to me
But I feel like you and Jelly
are like the country version of iced tea in Coco
We love Cocoa
We love ice tea too
Those are our homies.
Yeah.
Thank you.
My real name is Sarah with an age, like Sarah Jessica Parker and Sarah Michelle Geller.
And I truly love you and your husband as people.
I love the message.
I have friends that have OD'd, and I had to bury one of them.
And then I had to grieve a relationship that I never thought that was going to come back to me.
And her and I got together for dinner in December with another friend who flew in from Chicago,
and you have no idea how grateful I am for that.
So I feel like I can really identify with you guys.
And part of my ADHD, I have depression.
And every day that I wake up, like, I can't even believe it.
And I really do it for, like, the weekend.
I do it for my students.
I'm a teacher.
So teachers gone wild right now.
I'm on February vacation.
This is like my gift for myself.
I don't know if I paid for the meeting,
but I can't believe I'm talking to right now.
No, I love you.
You are such a source of, like, inspiration
and such a source of, like, keep going,
and you're a badass and, like, get to the gym, Sarah.
And I don't even know where to end.
It took me.
Shout out to Sarah, thank you.
Thank you.
You are here for a reason, so don't go anywhere.
It took me an act of God to get here.
My Uber driver left my house, so I missed my boss.
I had to drive to New Haven and then hopped the train,
so I can't believe I'm here.
Sarah, I love you.
I love you, baby.
Thank you so much.
Thank you guys for participating in Aestell Confess,
and thank you guys for coming out on the council.
Let's give it up for Mimi and Haley.
I love you guys.
I'm so sorry that we couldn't get to all the confessions.
Yeah, that one got really fucking weird, right?
Why did my team give me that?
So, moving on.
You guys haven't got to read the book yet,
but in the book you guys finally get to
deep dive into a relationship that is probably one of the best relationships I've ever had in my
entire life with a human who is one of the most beautiful souls that I have ever encountered.
And, you know, when we first came on the scene, people didn't understand us and people, we were
different, and people, you know, questioned our love.
And we, it was like constantly having to prove something.
And I just, exactly.
And I just want you guys to know that no matter how different you are and how people perceive you, fuck them.
It literally does not matter what anybody thinks about you.
If you love somebody, love them to the fucking fullest.
But anyways, I had this really cute chubby-cheeked cherub angel sweep me off my feet.
And it was very unpredictable because I had just got out of a crazy relationship.
I don't know if some of you guys saw my post that I posted yesterday.
What did you say, baby?
I love you guys.
So I just got out of a crazy relationship, and I definitely was not looking for love.
I was looking for Mr. Right now, not Mr. Wright, and he had other plans.
He made me sit down with him before I would...
Five-year plan.
You guys know, baby.
He made me sit down with him and make a five-year plan.
And now we have moved on to our 10-year plan.
And I just can't believe that this year it's going to be 10 years with the man that I love.
And who saw my husband win three Grammys?
Like, what the hell, Mr. Roll?
So I was like, how am I going to get a three-time Grammy winner here?
You know, like, what the hell?
Do you guys think he came all the way to New York for me?
Well, jelly roll, can you come out, please?
It's seats, right?
Are you going to sit up there?
Yeah, yeah, you're going to interview me.
The interviewer becomes the interviewee.
Yeah, I'm nervous.
New York City!
Howdy?
How's your mammy and them?
How's your mammy and them?
How's your mammy and them?
Yeah, it doesn't work anyways.
I tried to use it earlier.
It fell.
It's very flaccid.
I'm so excited to be back in New York City.
I'm so excited to be back in New York City with you.
wea. Thank you. I feel even better.
Can we get a round of applause for how hot
this fucking man is?
Slurps up.
I love you, dude.
I was thinking, when I was just sitting backstage,
I was thinking about our first time in New York City.
Do you remember this?
Yeah, it's...
Well, this was probably 2016.
Was it when I got shit-faced drunk and was petting horses?
Yes, police pet horses.
Yeah.
Police horses.
And that was like...
Let me tell you how white trash my...
wife is. We came all the way to New York City. First time, we were so excited. That's a big
deal for a girl from the West Coast and a kid from Tennessee. And we were super excited. And we
did, we first night we went out and I didn't know what she'd want to do. I said, what do you want
to do? She said, we'd go have some drinks. This is back when we were raging alcohol.
And so we got blackout drunk, of course. And on the way I'm like, we should get some
food, you know, some New York delicacy. And I thought she was going to be like, we should get
some pizza or some Italian food. You know, I mean, there's so much great culture in New York
City. And this bitch looks at me and goes, I've always wanted to eat one of them meat trucks on the
side of the street. Who doesn't love street meat? I mean, I do. My wife's entire dream of coming to New York
City, y'all, so she could eat out of a street meat truck on Times Square. So we stumbled our way to
Times Square and pet horses and ate street meat. And I was just thinking, for a woman that came here
the first time, excited about a street meat truck to coming back and selling out the 9th.
92 NY right here in the middle of New York City
in New York, New York.
I think that is a story that only God could be the author of.
But speaking of authors,
y'all received the first ever physical copies
of the Bunny X-O book tonight.
And as much as I've enjoyed the show
and I've enjoyed watching you sit up here
and do what you do best,
I said, I want to spend a little time
talking about your book.
But I want to also start by saying,
for those of y'all that wake up early in the morning,
Thanks for staying late.
But if you're up early enough,
my wife will be on Howard Stern in the morning.
I'm so excited.
I write about Howard Stern in the book,
and I know that people have their opinions on Howard now,
but the Howard that I grew up with in the 90s is a fucking icon.
I love Howard now, period.
I love you, Howard Stern.
We love you, Howard.
Thank you.
Love Howard so much.
But to see how much he inspired you,
and y'all will read this in the book,
to do what ended up becoming the dumb blonde podcast,
which is one of the top five podcasts in America,
all the time.
It made me think, you mind
about I got a little note card here.
I came prepared.
This is special
because my husband does not do shit like this.
So you guys are getting him in rare
form right now.
He's never interviewed anybody.
So I want y'all to know I've been reading the book
and I had a rule and this will be the first time
I talk about this that I did not want to read my wife's book
until she was finished with it and it was sent
into publishing because I wanted
her to have the freedom to write
about whatever she wanted to write about.
I didn't want to be one of those husbands
that she felt like was looking over her shoulder
or I didn't want to have an opinion about it.
I just wanted her to have complete autonomy
to tell her story with absolutely nothing to do with that.
I hope somebody appreciates that.
He's always been like that, though.
She sent me the first chapter, and I was so excited.
I went upstairs and I wanted to talk about it for hours.
And right then, I was like, this is me accidentally giving my opinion.
And I don't want to give my opinion
because my wife is a beautiful soul with a beautiful story
and I want to hear it straight from home.
So with that being said, you can imagine
when y'all start reading this thing,
how surprised I was.
I didn't hold back when I talk about...
Whoa, there was so many holy fuck moments
for me as a husband in that book.
There was so many moments.
Okay, first of all, it's a double-edged sword.
There was stuff that I knew about
that I would watch you writing about on like page two.
And I'd be like, there's no way she's starting this book
with this story.
And then I'm like, surely she won't tell the end of this story
how it actually happened.
This bitch did it every single time.
She blew my mind.
And then there was things in the story
that I would learn about.
We'll talk about in just a minute.
But for you going back
and having to relive all of this,
and this was years after you getting sober,
years after you're doing therapy,
lots of hard work went into you even
having the courage to write a book like this.
How, what was the...
I couldn't imagine what the emotional state
was having to see all of it in black and white,
though, like having to read it back to yourself
and make edits and make sure the story was right.
Kind of just walk me through what that was for you, like, emotionally.
Well, you know that I started writing this book in 2019,
and when I started writing the book, I was like,
I don't have, like, a happy ending, you know?
And we still don't have the happy ending.
We have a happier ending,
but we're still living our, you know, fairy tale,
our unfairytale.
And when I started writing it out,
there would be times where I,
I would write a chapter and I would have to not touch it for like three or four days.
Because, you know, when you're reliving so much stuff,
and there's people out there who have had way worse lives than I have,
and I couldn't even imagine what they would have to go through writing a book.
So it was super cathartic.
It was super healing in a way.
And I'm like so glad that I've got to put all of this into a book
because now I can like finally close those chapters.
And literally my book drops on the day the year of the fire horse starts.
So tell me that's not like coincidence, dude.
Like, that's so awesome that I get to leave all the, I get to shed my skin from Year of the Snake and go move forward with Year of the Fire Horse.
So I'm really happy about that.
Early in the book, quickly your stepmother becomes, and I knew this about your life, obviously, the main antagonist.
My stepmom was my first bully.
Yeah, for sure.
Say it again.
Yeah, fuck hard.
But I think the question I wanted to ask too, and I think people, it was so interesting when we first got married, and I learned about how abuse of your stepmother was in that whole situation and how much therapy we did together because of different trauma triggers from me having mother issues and you having stepmother issues.
And every now and then, that can be a cocktail for an argument.
And you do a little work.
You guys will learn the first three years is a nightmare.
And you do a little work and you figure out how to get through it.
But what I also know is you then came into the.
role as a quote-unquote stepmother and absolutely became a mother absolutely knocked it out
of the part absolutely changed that young woman's life she would not be the woman this woman this
young lady is 17 and a half years old fixing to go to college with a 440 GPA getting off
it every year she went to go and this is the first time i really cried that Bailey always gets me
you deserve it though so how did was you able to take being in such a horrible mothering situation
never meeting your biological mother, having a shitty stepmother,
then becoming a mother to an unexpected angel.
Tell me the story that threw line between this.
I feel like I grew up around a lot of people I didn't want to be like.
And as a young child, I could tell that something was wrong
with the people I was growing up around.
My dad was the biggest hypocrite I'd ever seen.
My stepmom would smile in the church pews,
and then she would be at high.
home just a raging nightmare putting my face through doors. And it just got to a point, you know,
when I was 14, I was like, I don't want to be around this anymore because if I'm around this,
it's going to ruin me, essentially. Like, to have that foresight at such a young age is just,
it's crazy to me. And I can only explain that that being God, like saying, like, you need to
get away from these people. Even though I was that young, I left at 14 and, you know, never went
back, never got another dime from my family, and never looked back, but I vowed that I would
never make a child feel the way that woman made me feel. You cannot treat children badly and get
away with it. They remember everything. And so when Bailey came into my life, I just, you know,
you know me. I'm not all talk. I'm action. I'll say something one time and I'll figure it out.
so and that's what we did.
You have been the mother you never had
and I'm honored to have you in my life.
Thank you for giving me the gift.
I thought about this too.
I mean, this book gets deep.
Domestic violence,
abuse, sexual abuse, drug addiction,
crippling anxiety.
And I bet there are women in here right now
who have dealt with some of similar things right now
that have been victims.
And some,
And some who are still in a place where they can't clap yet that are probably in this room.
What would you say to them?
That took my breath away that statement.
To the ones that can't clap yet, I want you to know that you are so special.
You are so loved.
And your life is so much more important than being in a relationship or under somebody's thumb who is abusing you.
And love does not have to hurt.
I'm telling you, it is like the one thing that I had to learn, you know,
even though we went through our pain and our trauma and stuff like that,
I would, to come out of the fire like we have
and actually experience real, true love
and learning how to love myself first
so that I could love him properly,
just get out and start focusing on you
because you deserve so much more.
You deserve a chance in life.
He's over here, teary-eyed, my sweet baby.
I've been so emotional all day anyways.
My wife has sold like 50.
65, 60,000 books.
She's one of the bestseller authors in the world right now.
Literally, she is one of the bestselling authors in the world right now,
and the book is not technically available until 10 o'clock in the morning
when Amazon drops it off or Barnes and Nobles opens up.
It's just so cool to watch that God would have a story
that would have me winning three Grammys
and you possibly be in a New York Times bestseller
within three weeks of each other.
It's just so, so cool.
How are you loving your first show?
What do you think about this?
Listen, when I first walked out here, guys, I was having a panic attack.
And you guys have just loved me through this entire process.
And now I'm like, I'm self-regulated and emotionally regulated.
Let's sit here for like two more hours.
They're like, fuck no, bitch, we're hungry.
Well, I'll tell you, I will say one more thing about the book I do want to talk about
is early.
I mean, you got me in chapter two, I think, where you had, I knew the story about your
stepmother and I knew about her violence.
And, you know, we had talked about that for hours in our relationship.
relationship and therapy rooms.
And what I never really heard about as much was Andy, which was your stepmother's sister.
Talk a little bit about her.
It's hard to talk about it.
You know, when you write it down and it's in a book, it's so hard.
It's different than talking about it in front of people.
But, you know.
Ain't that crazy?
You write a whole book to go on tour.
People be like, tell me what your book says.
Like, just read it.
So my stepmom had a sister named Andy.
and she was younger, but now that I'm older,
I can see that they were raised in an abusive home.
And so they transferred their abuse onto me.
And, you know, she was very violent with me at a young age,
and I couldn't tell anybody.
You know, she threatened to hurt me if I would tell anybody,
or, you know, one time she tried to kill my little sister in front of me.
This is all in the book.
And I don't want to, like, ruin it for you guys.
But in the end, you know, her demons got her, and I'll let you guys, I'll save that for the book so you guys can read it.
But like I said, you just, you can't treat kids bad and expect to live a good life.
So that's why I advocate so much for children.
And, yeah, because I was one of them.
I love you.
I love you, too, baby.
I am so, so proud of you, though.
Yeah, I love you so much.
This is such a big deal.
on a Monday night in New York City.
You're big news, girl.
I can't believe we're here.
Like, I'm just like, thank you guys so much.
Like, seriously.
So, I mean, I think, you know, you're here,
and you are a three-time Grammy- Award-winning musician.
Do we think Jelly Roll should sing us some songs?
Well, I'm going to get out of your way.
Oh, and you guys, this is Andy.
We live.
He's single, ladies.
He's also single.
He prayed you would say that.
You guys hit Andy up after the show.
I'm going to get out of your way.
Take him to church, baby.
I promise y'all.
She'll be right back.
Can I just sing like one or two songs?
I know some of you are like, sing some songs,
and some of you are like, if she don't come back in five minutes, we're leaving.
And I respect that.
That's awesome, too.
I love y'all, man.
Thank y'all.
This is such a special night for me and my wife.
I'm so honored to be here.
How many y'all are from the, do you?
New York area right here around here.
How many of y'all flew in to see the show and said,
fuck it, we'll see the big apple while we're there.
Oh, beautiful, beautiful.
Get that thing one time.
Let me just see what you got.
I don't got nothing here.
Can I get this in this ear?
I got a little bit there, but if I can get a little bit of that guitar right here,
check, check, check.
Look, guitar, yep.
We don't got no live guitar.
Sorry, y'all, we didn't rehearse.
We didn't rehearse.
We wasn't ready.
We're not trained professionals.
I showed up as a plus one tonight.
I didn't know I was singing until I got here.
I love y'all, man.
Have y'all enjoyed this show?
I want y'all to know that we have cried twice today together.
I was more nervous for her show than any show I think I've ever done.
I took three poops before I came out here.
I didn't even know I'd ate that much.
You know what I'm saying?
I mean, uh, somebody said, me from myself,
I spent so long living in hell.
They say my lifestyle
It's bad for my hell
It's the only thing
That seems to hell
All of this drinking and smoking is hopeless
But feel like it's all that I need
Something inside of me's broken
I hold on to anything that sets me free
You know this.
I'm a
Oh baby
Don't waste your time
on me
I'm so damaged
beyond repair
Life has shattered
my hopes
and my dreams
I'm a
You y'all sound good
Baby don't waste
your time on me
I'm so damaged
beyond repair
Life and shattered
My hopes and my dream, yeah.
I wasn't sure if I was going to sing this one too,
but this song was on the album that won the country album of the year for the Grammys.
I haven't got to talk about it,
but that was special to me because to write an album about broken people
and people that have came through sexual abuse and drug addiction
and people that have came through traumas
and from the bottom of the bottom and figured their way out.
Albums that talk about shit like that normally don't end up.
up winning Grammys y'all this was a really big deal just like books that talk about what my wife's
talking about don't normally sell this many books y'all thank you I am not okay I'm barely
getting by I'm losing track of days I'm losing sleep at night and I am not okay I'm hanging all the
rest so if I say I'm fine just know that I learned to hide it well I know I can't be the only one
who's holding off a deal life but God knows I know when it's all said and done that I'm not okay
It's not okay
Ain't that right New York
One two three four
I only talk to God when I need a favor
And I only pray when I ain't got a prayer
So who the hell am I to hell am I to expect the Savior
Oh if I only talk to God when I need a faith
Scream it to me
I know amazing grace, but I ain't been living the worst.
I swear I spend more Sundays drunk off my ass than I have in church.
Hardcovered King James only been saving dust on the nice stand.
I don't know it too sad.
By the time I throw my hand, I only talk to God when I need a favor.
Don't have been in there just barely throwing up press
If you still there lost family
Oh my god oh my god
Just barely throwing up prayers
Still there lost family
