Starting point is 00:00:44 it's very late again it's like we're just waiting yeah it looks like somebody quit and they stormed yeah it's very housewives like i don't want to do this anymore yeah testimonial yeah bye bye okay well it's time for good week yes it is bad week oh no okay mine is becca oh god um i hope we can still be friends after this but i copied you after all this yeah this might be the end my bad week is that my assistant Derek and I, uh, noticed something that I had not noticed before about Becca and it actually might mean she can't be in the lady gang anymore. Her email signature is sent from my iPhone. That's like, it's 2007. That's the standard like factory setting on an iphone i know why would any loser go in there if i don't have a person on the planet not do that
Starting point is 00:01:47 when i said no you have a jack vanek thing even from my iphone yes listen i don't know i am not a professional person you're lucky i even have an email address the only mine does that too if i send it from my iphone what year okay this is the bad one you are just a new podcast called lady and it's just me you guys you cannot have sent from my iphone you have to make some sassy thing of like please excuse typo no i hate those i hate those that's so cringe like please excuse the typos i'm like on the run or something out of pocket no i think a factory setting is actually very chic it's like the bro it means it's because i've never it's kind of like when you hear somebody's phone ringing and it's still like mine it's still the exact same thing the phone came
Starting point is 00:02:37 with I've never gone in to change any notification sound because I know it's a little boomer of me but then it's also kind of so boomer that it's cool yeah it's like I don't give I also just don't email anybody official business I get emails from you guys and um you don't have to be professional ever never never who am I emailing no one I'll my future self no it's fine so upset no i just thought i thought it was really going to be a big funny moment and she's disappointed you defended it you defended it so well that now i feel like i should just let you do that you know it's fine it's just like i've been planning this for weeks the reason i do it is because it's in it's it's for all the other ladies out there who have the same and i don't want them
Starting point is 00:03:25 to feel stupid so right if i was going to be like oh my god i'm the lamest you're right how i'm so lame then all of the lady gangers were alienating who still have sent from my iphone no it's true it's fine um what does yours say also i feel like my iphone is like a normal definitely doesn't say sent from my iphone okay let me see what i think it says nothing no it says kelty night it has my like link okay it says kelty night at kelty yeah your instagram great then a lady gang link hyper link e-news how do you know that wasn't sent from her computer oh i have them the same they're the same so it's pretty much it's a business card well so is mine from my computer but like not from my iphone okay well i'm just trying to get more downloads to the lady game i know yours is
Starting point is 00:04:11 beautiful that's why i'm surprised that you don't have everyone okay here's my bad week you guys joann's is closing fabric oh no yes it went bankrupt they're getting i have a joann's just down the street it's like one of my favorite places in the world i am so sad it didn't it I don't know why and I know it's not a mom and pop so I shouldn't be so emotional about it like I know it's like another Walmart it just makes me so sad because I know people are like oh I want a craft kit and they're just buying it on Amazon because it's easy and I get it but there is a certain level of joy of going and scouring a Joanne's for a new fun activity you know still Michaels. No, I know that. I thought Joanne's is just fabric. It is. No, it's not. Well,
Starting point is 00:04:56 not here in Sherman Oaks. Level two is fabric and sewing machines. And then level one is all the crafts. They have crickets. They have beads, Becca. They have painting. They have crochet. They have yarn. They have home decor. They have printmaking. I mean, they'll frame for you. I mean, they have a lot. Okay. I guess not enough. How's your cricketing going? I feel like you haven't done it i actually lent my cricket to a friend um but i haven't needed to cricket but i i but now that joanne's is well because we did have some like very unfortunate cricket things on tour they were quite diy yeah that we vowed to maybe never cricket again we're not cricketing a single thing for lady world i'm not doing anything no that is that is crossing a line
Starting point is 00:05:42 of professionality we need for the world we have to put up we're not cricketing um I'm more I'm actually thinking about getting into crochet uh and knitting again I used to knit when I was a dancer I knit a lot it was like kind of a dancer thing when you're like icing your feet or whatever to just sit and knit and I was even thinking like I have a hard time sitting still and so what if I just knit while we're doing lady gang like while we're podcasting yes yeah because you're doing something i thought you meant like at home when you're a good knitter you're knitting like i could be looking in the eye knitting no that's too much of a distraction i had to learn how to knit when i played um roxy hart in the summer stock production of chicago because she knits on the stand oh
Starting point is 00:06:27 because billy flynn is like you need to be relatable you need to be a sweet little homemaker for what killing her husband or no killing her boyfriend chicago is a murder yeah you you love it oh you would love it it's the dark arts okay dark arts okay who's next who knew um i'll go i got an email the other day sent from their iphone uh this definitely was sent from an iphone sherry emailed me the title is thought of you when i saw this and i was like what could this be do you know sherry no i don't um also uh emails public which is insane yeah i actually don't get that many weird emails except from uh scott my foot fetish guy but i can't believe you just shouted him out full name full name she goes thought of you when i saw this what does it say
Starting point is 00:07:14 it's a walt disney world pin you know celebrate it's my birthday but it says i'm celebrating pooping pooping that's great celebrating pooping you celebrate pooping it's so rare um i just thought that was so nice because that is that i would think of me too also i love that she emailed me because she could have sent it in a dm or something but like thank you when they want your attention it is it's just like that title so funny i'm like something's gonna be weird when you get a title like that in an email um should we make i'm celebrating pins for lady world that's cute and girls can write in what they're celebrating yeah actually really like that yeah that's cute yeah mine will be pooping um okay my bad week is so i
Starting point is 00:07:56 was listening to the radio recently which is weird um and you know that station jack fm they do jacktivities on that station i told you this three years ago you did yes and i was so angry at them but they stole it yeah they stole it from you i don't know well either they stole it from me or i think you came up with it so you stole it from them uh you have some sandwich in your hair what is it a bug a gray gray hair oh my god you so smugly claimed wow claimed you didn't get gray hair when we were complaining about ours that was like a six inch gray karmic shit that can't even be a highlight because i haven't highlighted my hair in over a year it really oh my oh i can't believe you do that away i have
Starting point is 00:08:46 my first gray taped into my journal i don't need you doing that wow it's fun okay well my new bad because i have a gray hair okay was that the first one yeah i might it's so long i might have some but like i can't tell that is a very well i feel like it's very genetic did your mom go gray she's super gray but like when how old was she no becca come here the temple grays always they come temple in the back of the head oh well that one was well that was more so centered in her part. Sticking straight out. I can't believe you saw it from that far away. So sorry.
Starting point is 00:09:22 This is also karmic. You guys light yourselves better on that couch. I'm in the dark over here with my double chin and you guys look like f***ing Mariah Carey with her honey light. Okay? There we go. Thank you. You're welcome.
Starting point is 00:09:39 So I obviously am in the union called SAG for actors and Every year for about 10 years, I have more than that. Actually, I have worked enough to get myself health insurance and the SAG health insurance is bomb.com. Okay.
Starting point is 00:10:01 So they pay for this is a very, uh, hot topic because it's kind of up like over the years you, you pay your SAG after fees based on what you make. So if you're in a huge show and you make a million dollars a year, you pay a percentage of that to sag after if you make if you make 30 million dollars a year you pay are you sure yeah yeah yeah it's based on earnings because every year i have to save my earnings the fee yeah i mean the the dues yeah the dues are based on your earnings are you sure 100 my mine are anyway under my category so like if you make 200 000 you pay less you know what i mean but you have to hit this minimum to get health care and this was the thing shannon doherty was talking about
Starting point is 00:10:41 when before she died of cancer because she had been paying in for like 30 years and then she got cancer she couldn't work anymore and she didn't hit her minimum is that we're gonna talk yeah so i didn't hit my minimum it was like you know was the strike last year no two years before so i just didn't so my earnings from the previous year so 2024 yeah so 2024 i did not make the minimum and so now i have to go back on shitty insurance that sucks and it's so shitty what about ford uh he was on mine zach has it so like he'll go on zach's i'll go on zach's but it's not as good it's just it's kind of it is bullshit because you know like shannon doherty made millions millions and millions and millions so it's like for every calendar year like you have
Starting point is 00:11:34 to act even if you're acting all the time you're sometimes tired and you don't want to act in a year and you've already paid all this money into this union and then you just don't get insurance I mean, you can get it. You just have to pay like a ton of money to get it. Just out of pocket. So I'm officially not an actor and I think I'm going to defunct. Is that the word? Defund?
Starting point is 00:11:54 No. When you go abroad, like I'm not going to pay my dues anymore. Oh, well, yeah. And then you get the, and then the next job you get, you pay off all your hidden dues. Yeah. But I just want to boycott. I think I'm going to start a, you're not working non. I'm going to start a non-union actors.
Starting point is 00:12:09 Unions. A non-union union. Okay. So that's the shitty part. And the good part is that I, before my insurance cut off, I went and spent a ton of money at the doctors, right? Like all of them, all of your, I did everything you could possibly imagine. And including seeing, we had her on the podcast, Sarah Oreck, the wonderful psychiatrist, and I hit her up and she hooked me up with a magic pill called Welbutrin. This is not an ad.
Starting point is 00:12:39 I wish it were an ad. I like to playfully refer to it as Welly B. I stole that from Casey Wilson. It is a wonderful, wonderful pill. I took it when I was younger. Was it around then? Like when I was like 20, 21. Did you enjoy it?
Starting point is 00:12:56 No. Well, you have anxiety. Yeah. It's bad for anxiety. Yeah. It's just good for like depression, straight up depression. I also took it and didn't enjoy it. I like a Prozac better, but people have huge success.
Starting point is 00:13:08 well and it has like a stimulant so it's like a little add slightly i think because when you're in like a depressive state your energy is very much low so this is much better i was on something else when i had a lot of anxiety that was but so like well butrin is not when you're anxious well butrin is more like what's the point you know you know the lows the low lows how long you've been on it? So two weeks. Okay. And she said you with Wellbutrin, you feel it pretty quickly. Have you started to feel it? For sure. What's the difference? Um, my energy is definitely higher and that kicks in first. So like the like stimulant part piece does. And I don't know if it's like the chicken or the egg, but having more energy might actually be contributing to me being
Starting point is 00:14:04 in a better mood because when you have no energy you're you're like what's the point yeah yeah so congrats thank you all so much for coming with me i just like to be very open on this uh podcast about the pharmaceutical journey i go on yeah um so yeah i think it's really important i also um not this isn't a good week bad week but i also recently upped my prozac again so i felt like there is no trophy for getting off it. And I know that I cannot do my hormones and my month without something, but my psychiatrist was like, you don't need to, I was on 40 milligrams. And then I went down to 30. Then I went down to 20. Then I went down to 10. And when I was on 10, I felt nutso. And I could see all of my bad patterns, like just a lot of things,
Starting point is 00:14:51 bad patterns, self-talk, like a lot of things that I do. And, and I, and she said to me, oh, I think you're good enough that you can get off it. And I was like, no. And then I actually did the opposite without even asking her. Cause she's, I have like, um, the way I was taking it when I was 30 would be like a 20 and a 10. So as I got down, I have like extra pills. So I just started upping it myself. I'm back up to 40 and you know what? This is where I need to be. I can't prescribe. I cannot orgasm. Okay. It takes a long, oh my God. It's like Prozac. You can't orgasm. it's really hard. That was like me on Lexapro. It's really hard. Like I was having sex last weekend and usually I'm like, is this over soon? And I was like, keep it going. And then he
Starting point is 00:15:35 finished. And I was like, I went for another like 90 minutes. Like, cause are you like horny? You're horny and you can almost get there, but you can't like get, do you know what brain spark? It also felt like my, I was numb. Like there was no blood flow going to my area, but I'm like, you know what it's fine like I'll yeah I'm gonna go back down to 20 I went too high but but you have to titrate um you have to ask about that because it can be very dangerous to like come down on your own yeah so just ask how you should do it or ask AI at least I'm keeping it high I just love that you just are just doing your own journey because I was like you know after you have surgery after you had your surgery well you you didn't even take any good drugs
Starting point is 00:16:19 I took oxys and I hated them yeah yeah and you hated it of course she'd hate it I'm like give me more Percocet like I love it let me take it forever but like that they always say like don't be a there's no hero like if you have a big surgery don't be here and then you're and then you're you're like I don't want to take anything I'll just take Tylenol like I hate those people I'm like no no I live your life but there's no award there's literally no award no one's given me a trophy for being like you're only on 10 milligrams of posack as opposed to 30 congrats like nobody cares also we're being fed this bullshit on instagram i don't know if your algorithm is there or not but i know mine certainly for a moment in time was a lot of
Starting point is 00:16:59 the biohacking wellness whatever and i just started to feel shame for the fact that i didn't have the discipline and the time to do all the things to fight depression by myself beefy greens yeah it's like this is good for your gut and do the cold plunge and do this and meditate and blah blah blah and I'm like wait a second there's a pill I could take every morning yeah that I could bypass if I don't want to meditate or do a cold plunge or whatever it is the new trend I'm like why am I acting like we're living back in the like dinosaur times it's like the same kind of thing like from like the highlight reel of like looking a certain way with like plastic
Starting point is 00:17:43 surgery and that whole like movement but it's like for the wellness thing and it's just like a bunch of bullshit. It's so weird. It makes you feel bad if you don't have the discipline to do like all the stupid things. It's also so expensive. I know. Well on that note, Stassi's here. Speaking of

Starting point is 00:20:44 sick of people not saying that they bring help on their trips oh if we don't bring the trips that we have taken like christmas just going to santa barbara simple you can't enjoy it you can't you can't enjoy it but i'd rather not enjoy it in santa barbara than in my house i get it yeah i get it yeah so yeah there's that so you brought okay so you filmed vanderpump villa in an actual villa oh yeah you were over there oh i was where was it me and my family we were in orvieto italy like i mean how long almost two months like yeah it was so much fun like it was no it was a dream like so we had a house that's like attached to the villa so every day my kids got to just wake up and run around and take walks throughout a palace and it was just so magical and like
Starting point is 00:21:38 hartford was on an annie kick so she would run around singing it's a hard knock life oh my god And I'm like, this is not, you're in a castle. Yeah, you're in a fucking castle. Like, it's not the vibe to be singing this year. But no, it was amazing. Did you feel like getting back, like, the reason we missed you is we just needed someone to sit in a confessional and tell it like it is. Right.
Starting point is 00:22:01 Did you have to warm up or did Stassi come right back? You know, I feel like I didn't have to warm up because I have my podcast. Yeah. You know, I'm doing all this shit. I don't really feel like I ever like fully went away. Right. You know what I mean? It's kind of like riding a bike.
Starting point is 00:22:19 I would just say that it was a little different to experience because it's a whole different beast. It's a different show. It's a different production company. It's different people that I'm not used to working with. And so that then it took me a little while to like get used to the way they operate. Yeah. When you heard Lisa was doing another season of Vanderpump Villa in Italy, you just you still have her phone number. and you're like hey i have this idea or like how did that work okay well like the italy of it all
Starting point is 00:22:44 beau that's my husband he is also an italian citizen so like his family's there oh my god so my kids are get like all the things are in all the paperwork is filed so that they have dual citizenship and so like i'm the last one and in order for me to do that i have to pass this b1 language test i i in high school i was an a student but like freetranslation.com is what got me through my language classes like i just don't have an ear for it so i'm like what we want for our family is to eventually spend like months out of the year in italy and with his family and the fact that lisa's doing a show in italy and like the timing of it all it's perfect i'm like oh if there was a time to like ease my way back into reality tv with like my family with me
Starting point is 00:23:33 like because i'm like i'm not leaving them at home right like this was it and it felt like all the stars line like so ideal he chose italy wow you know insane and you love a castle oh i live for a castle okay but what my first question on here is what the is vanderpump villa for anyone who didn't check out season one okay and people are like wait she's going and like is she gonna be a server no bitch she's not gonna be a server in the villa no can you explain to the fans what your purpose is oh i'm a permanent resident like i was there the whole entire time and they had this just extra house that was again connected to the villa that me and my family stayed in and lisa kind of just wanted me to like spy like to spy so like i just got on the staff
Starting point is 00:24:17 yeah just like report back if there was anything that you're like a secret shopper yes i am yes i was gonna go more like james bond oh sorry you're the secret shopper at cvs making sure we're not taking too many toothpastes exactly yeah correct um so basically I just got to enjoy myself and tattle tail god dude ideal and how much did you tattle versus how much did you not as much as you would think yeah I know I feel like once you get there it would be a hard job it no yeah because I I'm loyal that's one thing and so when I become friends with someone and I got hard yeah and I got really close to most of the staff that I'm just like oh shit I'm sorry gotta keep a lot of this to myself which doesn't make for very interesting scenes with lisa right
Starting point is 00:25:04 but like i have to stay true to myself right you know it was like a del it was like a it was like a delicate dance how did you plan your outfits that was the best part oh no like leading up to it yeah you have six lots of reformation lots of going on net-a-porter far-fetched shop bop whatever i was on my phone constantly i was like i have two kids them right now like i'm literally just looking for sundress sundress sundress sundress sundress i spent my life looking at sundresses i would like for you to do a full recap of said sundresses yeah because it's a really that's also a hard line to find is a chic sundress where you don't look like you're a milkmaid or so here's the thing i feel like the milkmaidy dresses they work when the environment
Starting point is 00:25:53 is italy you're right i agree you're right you know it's like i love the theme let's lean into the theme would the milkmaid dress work here again going to the grove i'm not sure you know i work in italy when you have a like a little you know puff sleeve like the puff sleeve but you have a little basket full of fresh i love a puff sleeve kristen calvary gave me so much shade when she came on lady gang tv for my puff sleeve i'll never forget what did she say oh my she we asked her to rate our outfits yeah that was probably stupid of us but she said and I to this day I stand by this dress um actually somebody messaged me recently asked if I still had it if they could buy it from me that specific dress wow and she went through the table and she
Starting point is 00:26:36 put me dead last because she wasn't like into my puff sleeve but she's not a puff sleeve girl okay puff sleeves gives royalty adjacent yes absolutely you know sophistication you understand And I know you do because your whole wedding, I mean, damn, like, you know, we get the castle core shit. That's what a puff sleeve does. It makes me feel like a Duchess. It elevates. Yeah, it really does.
Starting point is 00:26:59 Yeah. And Jack didn't want to wear her puff sleeves. They were removable. Like yours were removable, right? No, I committed to it. She had a removable puff sleeve and she was like, no, no, I don't like them. She liked them when she bought the dress. And then when we went to the fitting, she was like, nah.
Starting point is 00:27:12 And then I was like, sometimes they feel like a little bit too much on your wedding day. Nothing is too much. I wanted to wear a crown. but i was like you know what rein it in rein it the f**k in you are actually royalty yet but like maybe soon okay so there's something we need to talk about for this couch not the matching sweatsuit couch where we're both wearing our lady gang club lady for this couch right here now jack now you know how i feel your two kids four and two four and uh one and a half okay and four it is three three okay you celebrated with an over-the-top wicked frozen birthday party oh
Starting point is 00:27:48 yeah i did for hartford okay let's not get it twisted i won't be doing the same thing from i was gonna say this is the firstborn to the to the fact that john chew the director of wicked saw it i'll never forget that day no not saw it reposted it reposted reposted it becca tobin here told us before she had children she was never going to be that birthday party girl she recently made her own balloon arch but here's my thing both of you are fashionistas being put in the category you have handbags and shoes that are worth more than you could possibly cater a child's birthday party but now you are spending a birkin on a wicked frozen birthday party how much did that cost that party a lot a lot i don't think i should say the number you should not say the
Starting point is 00:28:34 number people think that i get this shit for free no i get deals yeah but like this isn't for free like no i'm we're happy it was kardashian level it was like it wasn't it wasn't like chloe or kylie but it was wait how many kids were there it that it was courtney kardashian level times the amount of people as my wedding how many i don't have that many friends harford does is it like school and you have to invite the whole class yeah and everybody's coming because they know the party 50 kids so plus they all like both their parents and so mad because we have the same eight okay we have the same agent and i threw a birthday party the week before and the agent did not come to my birthday party but she went to the kid birthday party she doesn't have a child and
Starting point is 00:29:20 is eight months pregnant i forgive you megan but i was so pissed when i saw her repost your party and i was like wow i am so wickedly uncool you don't want to come to my fun adult party that had like a cheese board that was as big as my table but you want to go to the cupcake wicked frozen can't even decide what it is kid party no this is that's what kid parties are though yeah this is the thing kelty um i feel like i rarely go to adult parties anymore it's like kid parties i'm there it's an activity during the day it's something to keep us like occupied like if i'm going to an adult party that is that means i have to hire my nanny to come work extra hours that means i have to pay like 150 dollars like each way on uber it means i have to like plan according
Starting point is 00:30:03 it's like so much day you can't be too hung over exactly so much effort goes into adult parties that like if you ever want to find me somewhere that it won't be there it won't be at an adult place it will be at the kids party no and i know that 11 a.m but still ideal time okay so you had this crazy kids becca what do you want to say in your you know please don't talk about the spawn can i just say like i a part of me has always cringed at myself but that's good big birthday parties all anybody asks for is a self-awareness okay which you have thanks i try this is what makes me feel better about it and i know you were about to say something so i don't want you to forget no you go whenever i watch the kardashians they always talk about how chris made their
Starting point is 00:30:51 birthday party so special and they like go through the list of like remember the theme remember everything and i'm like and it gives me chills i'm like hopefully i can do that for at least one of my children like just the one just harford you know i mean like messer does he care but she's also a girl like she's a girl you do it more for a girl yeah it's like a girlier thing like she's she's picking out the theme like she's getting involved like messer i don't know that i'm gonna do this for you for him right yeah you know like she did it for ford and he's oh you did an over the top birthday party it wasn't over the top it had a main self-made balloon art thank you how dare you I love Meghan Markle the whole time okay that's not what Meghan Markle's doing
Starting point is 00:31:36 and I didn't say yes please to my husband anyway or call him z sorry I'm so upset oh god I love the show I love it too I just there are things I would change if I were doing it okay so the balloon arch I made myself from Amazon it was probably $25 so I feel like that's not over the top that's what the world is doing for their children okay the food was bagels not toasted yes I did offer gluten-free bagels because there are a lot of gluten-free kids these days I had a cake from H-E-B which is the equivalent of like a sheet cake it's a sheet cake what is that H-E-B is like the the Publix Kroger Ralph's like wherever you lit Ralph's like whichever region it's like the grocery normal grocery store you didn't try cake okay you didn't try cake okay
Starting point is 00:32:22 there was so much red dye 40 in that cake you couldn't even believe so much um that was it that's not over the top you really sold it on instagram tell us about your party that was she really didn't sell it on instagram all it was is a picture of the balloon arch yeah it was a balloon arch and a oh sorry a pinata that i forgot to put up and i forgot to have the kids hit i did take a picture of that. So you got a, she asked for frozen. This was a journey. Yeah. How far back are we going on this journey? So I start planning this birthday party like two and a half months in advance. Okay. So like after Halloween, it's like, we're planning this birthday party. I hire party planners last year. I didn't honestly shout out to me and low. We did
Starting point is 00:33:04 it ourselves and hired the vendors and all that ourselves. And like, we were, we were there at the venue at like eight in the morning, like putting together all the things. And I said, never again never again am i doing this all day i want to enjoy the day yeah so i hired people this time shout out to lavish littles lavish littles what a name have you ever thought about going to chucky cheese what about bowling do you know how many people also ask me about the princesses and they're like what's the company called and it's called like beverly hills princess this is so devastating my god okay this is an episode of saucy says okay keep going okay so So she, I asked her, you have to pick a theme.
Starting point is 00:33:42 Like, what do you want? You're into lots of things. She's like, hocus pocus. I'm like, Halloween's fucking over. So she was in the meeting with Flavish Littles, your daughter. This is ahead of time. Okay. Ahead of time.
Starting point is 00:33:53 Like, get the board together. She could have been, honestly, yes. Okay. She wanted to do hocus pocus. I'm like, I don't, I don't think any other kids in your class have seen that. And I just don't think any of the other parents would appreciate a birthday party themed around a cemetery. cemetery with witches who suck the souls and lives of little children to stay young and
Starting point is 00:34:12 beautiful it just doesn't yeah i do i really appreciate that it just doesn't feel like it would be a hit yes with the mom most amongst yes and so eventually she's like well elsa is the only other thing frozen i'm like well you kind of did that last year like come on and everyone's doing frozen no she wanted frozen so we planned a frozen birthday party for two months frozen everything frozen everything and i mean it's like do you decide between frozen two that aesthetic or frozen one do we make it a winter wonderland or is it more like the the fall autumn like forest we want the purples and the we committed to frozen um then all of a sudden over the holidays she became obsessed with wicked as we all did welcome to america yeah and i'm like wait i just
Starting point is 00:34:57 bought her frozen birthday presents like i'm planning a frozen birthday she didn't care about the frozen presents for christmas all she cared about was alphaba alphaba alphaba alphaba and i'm like this is gonna be such a buzzkill yeah when this girl shows up to her birthday party and she's like i don't like frozen anymore mom yeah like what the is this yeah so i was just like i had all this inner turmoil it was eating me up eating me up and then well the fires happened in la and that was supposed to be the weekend of her birthday party obviously postponed it yeah and i texted the party planners and i was like y'all are gonna think i'm crazy um but like at least there's an opportunity right now to just like change it i'm like i don't even care if it makes
Starting point is 00:35:40 sense have frozen and wicked just like make it it can be a hodgepodge it doesn't matter i just need some elements of elphaba so that like hartford is excited about her own birthday party otherwise like what what is the point yeah and they were just like no we were thinking the same thing we've been we've been seeing all of your instagram stories we were like why is she planning a frozen birthday party for this wicked loving little gal oh my god for you hollywood littles and lavish little lavish little bitch lavish little really turned that shit around they were able to return so many of the things so it's not like i was like losing money or whatever and becca we were recently at doing a show and it was like kind of a corporate thing and there was like
Starting point is 00:36:21 no moms there and becca pulls out the story about having to like pull a poop i just picked up a random turd on a throw pillow i was walking past my couch you know if it was the dog two dogs and a three-year-old who's like potty trained but like yeah you never know who knows mystery poop she's telling this story i'm telling the story i'm like i walk back to the couch and on the throw pillow there's just a little turd like just turd like where did it come from and every person was like they're so upset not a single laugh we were all just like it's more it's baffling why you picked it up with your bare hands no no no no i didn't pick it up like barehanded with the toilet paper was there a point to the story or did it just go nowhere
Starting point is 00:36:57 is that why people were Stassi was there not your show yet this is Lady Gang no it was I forget like the context

Starting point is 00:38:22 just like time to pack up again and it's like five hours of well that's with the kid this is most people are coming to this as a girl trip and also when you book your vacation through us you get free beach chairs so that chair will already you won't have to schlep anything there's no schlepping i won't be laying on the beach chair no i know you i know you're not sweating i know you're not going to the beach and don't worry the venue is off the beach yeah so there's a possibility that you will see the beach from your car taking you to your condo and you'll never see it again so You're fine. I love the view of water.
Starting point is 00:38:49 Stassi, the fans are fine. Oh, then you have the view. I was going to say like a beachfront restaurant that you don't have to touch. Oh, love that. Okay. Love that when I'm not sweating my ass off. No, and a little, you can re-wear a Vanderpump Villa puff sleeve shirt. She won't re-wear that, no.

Starting point is 00:40:42 she was like she was not finding herself then well anyway we're very excited for those who have never seen one of the Stassi live shows like I have literally been googling how do we get do you remember you did that tour and you had like your own throne oh yes I do
Starting point is 00:40:58 do you still have the throne can we take it can we bring the throne to the beach we should buy it and we should have it shipped down to Destin yeah because we're trying to get rid of it it's in my storage unit or you could sell it you could sell it to lavish littles yeah sell it to lavish littles i bet you they'll put a four-year-old on that thing in a second they didn't want it oh my god did not want the throne i i feel a lot of pressure to have like a throne or something for

Starting point is 00:42:20 don't like the beach but we are doing crafts every day so like she's all set yeah it depends on the craft though like i have to like the craft what do you what do you craft if you had to pick top three crafts scrapbooking i like you know making vision boards i've been recently trying to learn flower arranging oh that's new for me just because like i like flowers and i should probably have a hobby besides scrolling on tiktok so i'm like i need to do something um i love decorating a christmas tree so you don't actually like crafts like when's the last time you were to Joanne's girl obviously never because they're closing I went to Michael's a few weeks ago yeah because I did crafts with Hartford yes you want to tell me something I'm going to tell you
Starting point is 00:43:05 something as mother of a girl when I was like six years old my mom did I love crafts I was like are you the mother of a girl I'm like who's mother are you yeah I know I was also like you were like you're talking to her like she's not also a girl who had a mother oh yeah let me let me tell you has a daughter but let me tell you Stassi let me tell you something very important when I was like six years old I love crafts I love I still love to craft my mom took me to the greenhouse and they had like a Christmas crafting extravaganza what is the greenhouse oh yeah I don't know what that is either it's like where you buy plants you know like the greenhouse okay store plant store but it was like its own thing okay because it's cold in Canada you can't get the plants outside
Starting point is 00:43:43 they'll die you have to buy them in a greenhouse okay these are indoor plants like it's like a my mom bought me like eight little little wood hearts and then got me glitter glue and like little deer and whatever and bows and ribbons and i can make my own christmas ornaments and it is one of my core memories of childhood and every year i would unbox the christmas tree and see that ugly ornament i think i made and i would remember childhood and it's very core memory and we still have them and so i'm just saying crafting with hartford is beautiful story okay thank you But if you'd had a Frozen-Wicked combo hybrid birthday party, would you remember that trunks? The ornament?
Starting point is 00:44:21 Yeah. No, you're true. You're true. It was the only highlight. You had one joyful moment. You had one. I know. That kind of made me sad.
Starting point is 00:44:28 Me too. Wait. I thought it was going to be this really big moment. No, it felt very like Bronte sisters. It felt like back in the old days when we made our one and only tournament. like, you know, like back in the olden times. Yeah. But I like that. Did you make that story up or is it true? It's a hundred percent true. And for my birthday party, my mom would put 25 kids in a basement with balloons. That was it. And no, they were already blown up and they
Starting point is 00:45:01 were just floating on the floor. And it was like, entertain yourself. Some of them, some of them put them down their shirt and they were Dolly Parton. Some of them tried to pop them and sit on them. Some of them played volleyball with them and we played for hours. So you're doing too much. Can i just say and i bring this up not daily weekly so probably four times a month that i regret starting this journey of planning these extravagant birthday parties if i had never started it when she was two that would never like we wouldn't be here and i'm like wow the money that i'm putting towards like the venue could be just invested on the stock market right now it'd be worth like three hundred thousand dollars when she graduates i don't know what like that kind of stuff means
Starting point is 00:45:38 It's like, I'm not good at like those, those things. Okay. I just mean like that could go towards our home, making it better, getting a bigger one, one with the yard. You know what I'm saying? Instead, I'm spending my money on throwing these. Lavish littles. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:51 So like I'm mad at myself. That she won't remember for a while. Yes, she will. You don't understand the shit that she remembers. Really? She's like a psycho. It's crazy. The shit that she just pulls out in the middle of nowhere where she's like, can I see photos
Starting point is 00:46:04 of X, Y, and Z? And I'm like, how do you remember that? like lisa i was brita lisa vanderpump because i was watching some vanderpump villa episodes last night and literally she's just like i miss lisa i miss her red nails i miss her dress when she had pink flowers on it like oh my god do you remember the dress with pink flowers on it i will constantly show her photos and video footage of each birthday party that i have planned for her right so yeah you better be grateful you guys just make me feel better about no i think it's a journey for myself i think it's fantastic and i'm proud of you and
Starting point is 00:46:39 someone has to do it let it be saucy me and chris jenner yeah there you go morgan stewart you and morgan stewart i'm gonna be the morgan stewart morgan doesn't post her she posts just a corner of the cake and then it's so much so rich no it's like so much more elevated than anything i've ever dreamed of honestly i think you're there thanks that's just so nice okay all right We're going to play a quick little round of, since you're the goat of reality TV, I want you to like red flag or green flag. Can you green light a show? Yes or no.
Starting point is 00:47:17 It's a yes or no game. We don't need a color. No flags, no lights. No colors. But it's for the cast of Vanderpump Villa and also other people thinking about joining any reality TV show. Okay. If you think these are good ideas or not.
Starting point is 00:47:29 Okay. Okay. Going on reality TV just for exposure. oh i used to uh okay i don't think it's a bad idea no unfortunately that's like kind of the world that we live in like else are you going on i know who's going on for the money because if you're love it depends on the show right it's like people want to watch what's real so like if you're going on the bachelor and you don't care about finding love then like you're kind of not like people are going to see right through it wow but like i understand i understand going on a show
Starting point is 00:47:59 for exposure i understand that's yes why you do it but as an audience like that's not fun for us to watch no right well that's why none of the dating shows work anymore i know because everybody is just famous yeah throwing a drink during an argument well if you feel that that's what you need to do in the moment that's then it feels necessary yes okay talking shit in a confessional but acting nice on camera oh i hate that it's like the worst it's like the worst although some you know now I'm like thinking about like all the reality tv I'm putting my own personal feelings on like how I'm making this about me and I shouldn't I'm I need to think in terms of just like a blanket reality tv in general sometimes it's fun for viewers to watch but no one's gonna
Starting point is 00:48:41 like you so like if you're going on this show for exposure or to promote you a business whatever that business is um doing mean confessionals while being a fake ass person on you know in scene is like never the move okay that's actually great advice hooking up with a castmate just for a storyline some would call it a showmance no i hate it no bringing an actual receipt to the reunion this is something that the housewives are doing i know you're not a housewife but recently you know you can't go to a reunion even like the love is wine reunion people are bringing their phones and they're being like here's the text you sent or here's the list like what do you think about the receipts at a reunion so i feel like receipts used to be really
Starting point is 00:49:25 exciting when they first started happening and now it just feels like this has been done so many times and like no one cares there's so much to consume that like we got to just like get to the to the point also print it out well it's like a millennial print out you know it's it's a better prop no well the girl in love is blind pulled it out of her armpit yeah okay fake crying to get sympathy um well i mean sometimes you do that in real life it doesn't have to be on reality tv you're a fake crying fan sometimes i do that with my husband because i know that if i can you bring out a tear yes i can because i know if you cry you'll get like i my go-to is anger like that's my like toxic go-to place and he responds very well when i'm just like if i if my go-to is sad
Starting point is 00:50:18 so like if i just like flip this flip it a little turn on the knob let's be sad instead of angry i will then he sits and listens and the tears of a woman everything that i say and i'm like okay so i have to fake cry that's so funny you're so diabolical i love it i do the same thing really yes whoa oh is your relationship just so healthy you don't have to do anything here's a yes or no sleeping so close to your i don't sleep close to him snuggling so close to your husband that he gets some spray tan accidentally connected to his face because they literally when they snuggle they snuggle like this do you do you like what face-to-face snuggling with your significant other i know what it is no that's one of our biggest arguments
Starting point is 00:51:09 in my house is that beau wants to snuggle and cuddle i can't if one if i feel like a brush of like any body part leg arm whatever a strand of hair move across my body i'm like i can't sleep i need to be in just no no we don't do it when we sleep i like to sleep on opposite ends of the bed i'm just talking about like in general like we're like on the couch and like snuggling. That's cute. No, we should do that more. Okay. Uh, last one saying I'm done, but never leaving the show. I feel like this is a trend. That's just so embarrassing. No, it's like so embarrassing. I'm not doing this anymore. And then they stop you at the garage and then someone stops you. Do you know how many people I'm not going to name any names, but they'll all know who
Starting point is 00:51:55 they are. How many people have like said like, no, this season, like it was actually so hard that like i'm done like i'm not even coming back like even and like i'm so over all you bitches saying this and then sure enough like you come back you come back you come back you come back like you think you're doing something big bad and brave by just like saying those words out loud like no you're not you're not done like well you're wasting my time no one's ever done i think they're done in their souls but their bank accounts need it well of course yes and so it feels nice to at least like sometimes I walk off you're being honest with yourself sometimes I walk off the e-news set on Thursday and I'm like you know what I'm done I'm done and then on Monday I'm like
Starting point is 00:52:36 actually I'm under contract so I'm back no I'm here yeah you know or like in your marriage I mean I would never say this but you know people are like I'm out if you have a big fight you're like maybe we should just get divorced and then like you don't like don't yeah no the fake out is no i know saucy's like did you do that no don't fake pretend fake divorce bow no i know like it's something that i realized i'm not allowed to do you know what zach i do something adjacent zach hates it when i'm like you just need somebody who's gonna blah blah blah and he's like why are you talking like i'm going back out in the world and i'm gonna be dating it's not an option right now the person you're talking about is a hypothetical
Starting point is 00:53:16 woman and i was like it's just something i say and it's a reality i could die it's wild okay be nice to your significant others yeah i could be nicer on that note on that note we're doing plenty season two of vanderpump villa premieres april 24th on hulu you can watch the season premiere and then on april 29th thank god hulu i just want to say a personal thank you i am so sick of the streamers treating television like it's cable where i have to wait a week if i wanted cable i would have cable i want to sit and rot yeah for six to seven hours straight of vanderpump villa on april 29th you'll be able to do that yeah that shit's out there like first go you guys i'm hosting the reunion on friday oh my god that's so fun i like i want
