This is Amanda Hirsch from the Not Skinny but Not Fat podcast. You might know me from Not Skinny but Not Fat. Instagram where I spend my time talking about reality TV, celebrities, everything happening and pop culture. I also talk to some of our favorite celebs and reality TV stars. We talk about what's going on. Tune in every Tuesday and just feel like you're talking about your best friends

in your living room. Hi, everybody. I decided it's that time. It's that time where we didn't talk in a while one on one. I've been doing a lot of interviews. I know a lot of interviews. I just feel like there have been such good guests and such great people to talk to that I can't pass them up. So we didn't get to freaking chat in a while. But I realized that like obviously, you know, know my Instagram is where you go for the day-to-day, you know, cele updates and pop culture and obviously all the fucking weird in-between shit in my life and everything like that. But, but that's where shit is usually timely. I know not always, but usually timely. With the podcast, it's like I can't really be covering breaking news and shit

when, you know, there's editing that goes into it. There's producing. There's goes through a process. so it takes a few days. So that's why, you know, I do feel like it makes more sense to to leave most of that for Instagram. And on here, it's like, yeah, we could, of course, always talk shit. And if there's something big going on, I'll pop on. And that's why I'm here today because I fucking went to the People's Choice Awards. I don't know if you know. And so you know I'm going to give you the BTS. But yeah, lots of great interviews, lots of great people. It's weird.

I feel like a podcast became kind of the real deal. Like a U.S. to be, oh, let me just go pop on here and like talk on my mic and people will listen. It's like a nice little place. But now it's like podcasts are a legit media form and there are a legit stop on media tours for actors and for authors and all this shit. So there's a lot to keep up with. There's a lot going on. Hashtag bless. Hashtag show off. But yeah, it's wild what podcasts have become. I remember when I started this, this is a true story in 2000. 2019. I was like, I should start a podcast. Like, that just felt like the next natural step. And I told my sister Ariel is like, you need to do it with me. I'm not talking to myself like I'm doing right now. And I didn't know how any of it worked. And I told myself, and I think I talked to you guys about this before. Like I told myself, I usually do shit. And this is, you know, it has its positive sides and negative sides. I'm usually like, I want to do this thing. And then I fucking do it. The fact that I do it is great. But when you do something so impetuously and you have no patience to like wait till the right time or get help or it could go either way.

It could be a shit show because you're just winging it or it could, you know, just work because, you know, randomly just work the first time. But a lot of times in my life, I look back and I'm like, I should have, you know, okay, you did it. that's great, good for you. You wrote the Band-Aid off, but you should have put more effort, you know, into it. And I did that like in school too. It's like I thought I was, you know, could just poop out an essay, like fucking right in my sleep, be like, butabing, badabom. And yeah, it was good, but it could have been better. You know what I mean? So I think I always have that in the back of my mind like, okay, when you do things, it's really great that you just do them. But if you took an extra second and sometimes that's

with like typos in an email that's really important. I won't forget I once, because I told you guys, like, I've been shooting my shot for years. And I remember I once wrote to like, I don't remember if it's like a book agent or regular agent. I told you guys, I used to like want an agent and not know what it meant. I just wanted one. It's like, what did you like, before I even had my Instagram, it's like, what are you trying to be? Are you an actress? Are you a supermodel? And I remember I sent a bunch of like emails to agents the title was always like Amanda Hirsch representation like duh she needs to be represented I told you guys to succeed you need a little bit of delusion and boy I had a little bit and then more and I got like the guy's name wrong because I copy-based it so I was like let's say

his name was like Robert I was like hi Jim and the guy wrote back he probably like had his period and he was like you know if you're going to cold pitch or something at least get the name right like it's Rob or Jim or whatever the one it was and I was like oh my god I ruined my shot with Rob Jim so my point is always take an extra second or two to get it right so when I decided I wanted to start my podcast I didn't want to wait I was like I want to just do this and then the voice in my head was like Amanda for once in your life wait please think about it you know plan it out get it right and I really had like an internal battle with myself. I talked to some friends. I went to Ithaca College for Integrated Marketing Communications. I'm really using it today, guys. So thank you for $45,000 million. Most of my friends were in the TV radio program. So I talked to them. I was like, do you know anybody that I want to start a podcast? Like, do you know anybody in audio or like whatever that means? I can't believe my brain even worked that well to like think about that. And my friends who were my roommates also were like,

oh, there's this guy, Jeff. He has a small podcast. network. You should talk to him. So I connected with Jeff. I was like, hi. My name is Amanda Hart. I have a 100,000,000 followers on Instagram. I'm going to a lot of podcast. We had a conversation. And, you know, sometimes these things take time. So we were like in conversation about what it would mean to work together and how and blah, blah. And in the middle of these convos, I got impatient and was like, Arielle, let's just do it. Like, fuck it. And we recorded. We bought like USB mics like into our laptop, recorded. Then we were like, oh, shit, we need to get on Apple Podcasts. I, like, searched how to, like, embed it. I don't even know how the fuck I did it. I took some, like, Google image, like, girl gossiping in a girl's ear. Word-hearted that shit. Posted it.

It was like, guys, first episode is here. I know you can't wait. And Jeff, who I was in the midst of conversing with about working together was like, hi. So what the fuck? And I was like, oh, my God. I'm so impetuous. I'm so crazy.

And then he was like, so you don't want to do it together? And then I was like, okay, Jeff, you know what? I'm an idiot. I shouldn't have done that. I couldn't wait. I was so excited. But you know what? This time in my life, I really do want to do it right, be professional, get it good.

So that's how I started my podcast. And then I worked with Jeff at the podglomerate. And he was great. And then what was it? Like, I think a year and a half later, I, um, signed with Dear Media. Jeff was super supportive. Shout out to Jeff. When I was like, listen, thank you so much for helping me start this. Like, Dear Media was, you know, it always, I saw the name and was like, I'm going to be there one day. Like, my podcast will be

there one day. So he got it. And it's really great to work with people who support your success and support you moving on to the next thing. And so that was that. Okay.

that my fucking podcast was nominated for Best Pop Podcasts of 2022 People's Choice Award alongside Conan O'Brien, Dak Shepard, Emma Chamberlain, Alex Cooper, Megan Markle, Smartless, and Why Won't You Date Me with Nicole Byer? So I used to think of awards like, how do they work? Like, you always think it's like PR and like all this shit. they know when they win and like whatever i found out i was nominated like i was in the middle of doing the worst volume two merch photo shoot with photographer kelsey and all of a sudden i you guys know that i like you know i was like scrolling my dms and one of you wrote to me like

congratulations on your people's choice nomination i was like what the message popped up for me was like, huh? What are you talking about? And I go, I like Google it right away and I see that list of people. And I'm like, what? What? And I like, I only have an agent and my podcast network that produces my podcast, but that's all I have.

I don't have a huge team. By the way, if you guys want to know what Publissus does, like a publicist gets the people that they represent, like they get, and it's right about them. They get them press, basically. And I'm not, you know, looking for press. It's not like a priority of mine to get pressed about myself. You know, I feel like my podcast, when I have guests that are interesting, we'll get coverage. And that's really fun.

But that's not something that I'm looking for currently in my life. So I was like, what? Who did I? Like, what? So my agents didn't even know either. It was pretty wild. Nobody knew. Nobody told me.

It was literally a follower, you know, that, that I saw the news from. And I was like, oh my God. I like started crying. I mean, this is a huge fucking deal to be nominated for my fucking podcast to be nominated for something that I, you know, started, you know, like I just told you very haphazardly, couldn't wait to fucking talk on the mic.

You know, even the way my Instagram started, I mean, just everything. And the fact that so many of you know how big of a dream this all was for me and how, you know, you like to call it manifesting, like making your dreams come true and realizing them and working towards them and not giving up and all that shit. It's like, what? The fact that people even listen to me or follow me or care about what I have to say and that people come down to talk to me. It's like all that has been enough. Like, it's not like in my mind I ever had like, and next I want to be nominated for an award. Never had that. So this was just like a fucking crazy, exciting moment. Oh, this is like some BTS, I guess.

When I posted about it, because I had to post that I was nominated, because if you didn't, didn't count, I remember my initial caption was just like my stream of consciousness, which was like, oh my God, you guys, I can't believe I was nominated. I mean, I'm never going to win in my whole life. Like, it's not going to happen. But like, I can't believe it's even happening. I'm just honored to me next to these people that I'm like a piece of shit next to because I'm never going to win. And I remember throughout the day having it sink in the nomination and going back to that post. and I kept on deleting those disclaimers of, you know, of course I'm not going to win. Can't believe this happening.

Who am I even in this world? I was like, you know what? Like, not because I wrote it. Like, I didn't care about that. It was more like, what are you putting out in the world? Like, it's okay to be humble and be appreciative, but also, like, be here. Like, realize that, like, you might deserve this. And it does make sense that you're here.

And me deleting those kind of. disclaimers were actually me, you know, hyping myself up more and kind of taking away those insecurities. So it's like, I deleted one like, who am I? I was like, no, who are you? You're Amanda. And then I was like, and I saw like, I'm never going to win in my whole life. I like deleted my whole life. And then I was like, you know what? Delete the never. And then delete them not going to win. You know, I just kept on working on myself to say, yes, it's so. amazing that you're appreciating it this way and you're you know fainting on the floor but like you don't have to beat yourself down and be the most like self-deprecating in the world you can also

accept it and love it and realize that you might deserve this and that maybe you might win so it was a moment i remember really realizing it like taking away those negative letters and negative words in the post was really a real life analogy of me kind of building myself up in those moments. And then it was up to the people. So you guys were voting and it was amazing, but I still was, I still was very like, I'm not going to win, but this is such an honor. And it feels so good to have, you know, you guys be supportive and wanting me to win and whatever. And whatever. I, by the way, did not think to go to the people's choice awards. I knew it was in L.A. I had just been in September. I'm not a red carpet girly. I was like,

I don't know if to go. And everyone I talked. talked to was like, are you fucking kidding? Of course you're going to fucking go. And I was like, I don't know. I don't know. And everyone was like, no, no, no, you're going to go. Like, you got to go. And what made me really decide I'm going to go is you always have to think like, will I regret going? No. Will I regret not going? Yes. So that. And also, you know, I look up last year as people's choice and it's like so many influencers were there and so many people that went just for fun because they were invited to go for the night. And I'm not going to go. My fucking podcast is nominated. I don't know if it's going to happen again. This is a huge deal. But I just want to say that like nobody pays your ticket. Nobody like sponsors this. If you want to go, you're going. So it's like it's a thought, right? It's like flights and hotels and hair and makeup and a stylist like so much goes into it. But I ripped the bandaid off and I was like, you know what fucking doing it. And I actually told my mom to come this time. She's never been to L.A. And I've been there so much this past year.

I really wanted her to see it. And Ariel has major FOMO. And she was like, then I'm coming too. So it became a family affair. Yeah, I haven't traveled alone yet, which is wild. So many people travel all the time and like leave their families. I feel like at some point it would make sense to, you know, be able to just travel alone and go for the night. But it's really nice to have them there.

When I'm in the airport and Noah's fucking annoying me, I'm like, okay, next time I'm like, I'm going to travel alone. But when I'm there, it's just so nice to not be alone. Plus, I needed my date, the husband for the awards, you know. Is all about that base. About that base. No trouble. Base spelled B-E-I-S because it's classy. That was a curse word that I tried to not say.

So base, B-E-I-S. Sure, you heard of it. Do you know Shane Mitchell? That's her company. Thank you. Want to be like her. We'll buy her luggage. No, it's really amazing luggage.

gave. My mom came with us to LA and she was like, oh, like, do you have an extra carry on? Because I have two. Sorry, I'm sorry. Oh, my God. And she was like, oh, my God. Like, because she has like a purple one. She bought off Amazon that like, God knows. She was just like, what is this luxury? Like the literal handle has a cushion in it. It expands. It has so much room. The inside is just like perfectly like with the zippers and the different compartments. It's just freaking amazing. Okay. It's just chic. It's effortless. There's room for everything. And it just doesn't scream them on a business trip. It screams shake, but also it screams function. It's efficient. It's sexy. Like I said, I'm obsessed with the cushioned handle. It also has a built-in weight indicator. It has a washable back very dirty clothes. It has all those interior pockets I'm obsessed with.

I didn't realize until I had a kid that could understand what's going on, you know, how Christmas was such a big deal to kids. and how I'm going to have to really be, you know, enforcing Hanukkah because everywhere there are trees and everywhere, at least in L.A., every mall we went to, because it's full of malls, had a Santa. And no, I got really into it. In New York, I was like, wait, where is there a Santa in New York? Like, we never come across the Santa in the street.

So, thank God for freaking Macy's because Santa's in town at Macy's. And if you head on over to Macy's, Santa land in select stores. You could get to snap a photo with the one and only. I don't know if I should take Noah or not because he's getting real deep with this Christmas stuff. But if you want to go and

get a photo with Santa and make memories with your kids, head over to Macy's Santa Land and you can bring the magic on home by visiting Macy's virtual Santa Land and set off on an interactive holiday adventure through the North Pole.

So many people were asking me like, how are you not freaking out? How are you not like so excited about going? And I kept saying and I don't know if this is self-defense, but I just kept saying like, I am seriously not just saying this. The excitement for me was getting nominated.

The excitement for me was finding out that day that my podcast is nominated for this award. Not the red carpet, not going, not whatever. But obviously, as it inch closer like that day and I realized like, oh my God, I'm going to be on the red carpet for the first fucking time. They're going to be photographers. And they're not going to know my name.

And like, it's going to be so weird. And like blah, blah. I was like really nervous about it. I was really nervous. But it ended up being okay. it ended up being okay and super cool and I felt like I was there for a reason which is important to me I need to feel like I have purpose you know I even got to do an interview with Erin Lim and Nick Vial actually did the live like e news coverage so they actually like interviewed me and like my agent who was with me you know there was like lines everywhere she was like she's a nominee she's a nominee and I was like I'm a nominate and just felt really really good I knew by the way that most likely this award wouldn't be announced on stage. Listen, podcasts have come a long way,

but they're not, you know, movie of the year right now. So I knew that, but I didn't know, like, how I'd find out or when I'd find out. It's funny because when I saw Chris and Chloe there, I obviously went to say hi and they were so nice perjuge. But I was like, Chloe, like, you know if you won. Like, I don't get to know if I won, but you get to know if you won. You know what I mean? And like, I don't get to know, but you're here because you know. You know what I mean?

Like, Ryan Reynolds knows. Like, those people know. I don't get to know. Like, you know, oh, that brings me to it. I'm on the carpet. I told you guys, went in the headspace of not winning, not winning. So many, like I knew so many people there. By the way, the selling song that said cast, the most friendliest people ever. Like, I've had most of them on my podcast. But the way, you know, they treated me was like, I was like, oh my God, should I quit everything and be an agent at the Oppenheim group? They're just so sweet. like every single one of them. And even Jason was so nice to me. It was like vaping.

I was like, I need a vape. I was like, oh my God, Jason, are you a vibe? He was with his like tall model girlfriend, but he was even so nice. And I had heard that he's like not that nice. So I was like, oh, my God, you're nice. But yeah, the girls, everyone was so sweet. But it wasn't only like people that I knew from the industry that were saying hi.

It was also people that worked at NBC and like, you know, people that worked with other clients that were saying hi. And it was just so nice. And then this one woman that works for NBC comes up to me and I won't out her on here. And she was like, oh, my God, love your podcast. Like, it's a nice to meet you. It was like, great to meet you. Let's say her name is Phoebe.

And she was like, so congratulations. And she like, winks at me. And I'm like, what? And I look at Jamie, my agent. And she's like, well, you know. And I was like, oh, my God. You guys, I started tearing up. my whole face starts welling up.

And she's like, oh, my God, you didn't know? And I was like, what? No. And she was like, okay, never mind. Forget I said anything. And I was like, wait, what? She's like, nothing. I don't know.

No one knows. Okay, bye. It was a roller coaster of fucking emotions. I was like crying. Crying. And then I was like, but I'm not going to like get my hopes up because something was weird here. Like, does she know? does she not know? She made me think that I'm now going to win where five seconds ago I was

in the headspace of, you know, months of me telling myself I'm not. But she works there so she must know. But then she took it back. But did she take it back? Because she was worried she was breaking the rolls. Anyway, spoiler alert, I didn't win. But Phoebe really made me think there was a chance for a moment. And without that, I mean, that really got my hopes up. I was like, I'm not going to let myself get. too excited but oh my god she just said that so it must be true that was a wild fucking moment anyway so first of all when we first get to the people's choice awards there's that line to just walk through where like people cheer for you and i'm pretty sure they tell them to cheer for you

and that made me feel better because i was like imagine it's just like different cheers for different people that could be really just a bad moment for your ego but i could tell that like they are people that were placed there to cheer So that's a pretty silly thing. I kept on saying I was like online. I was like, this is silly. This is very silly.

Like I can't, I can't like get out of my head. Husb ditched me right before that. He was like, I'm going to go from there. And I didn't realize that right after the cheering part there, it was straight to the photographers, like the Getty and the whatever.

So he wasn't there with me. I thought he could come back for that. Anyway, I did it alone. Also, luckily, they know your name. I thought it would be like,

Amanda, me being like, it's Amanda A. Like that, those were my nice. Marys, but they were like, Amanda here, Amanda here, Amanda slight to the left. Literally, like that. And I was like, oh my God. They know. So that fear was quickly, you know, quickly passed. And the next stop was doing that interview with Aaron and Nick Vial, who I met for the first time IRL. And I'm, like, I'm fine at interviews and

answering questions. But when I get asked specific things, like, that's why I don't tend to do that to my guess. Like, you know, who's your favorite, you know, celebrity you ever talk to? It's like, go fucking think of that right now you know what I mean like I can't think on the spot of specific examples so everything they asked me specifically they were like what do you do what have you ever done that like most embarrassed has and I was like everything I do then they were like what podcast guests you know surprisingly became a friend and I was like I become friends with all my podcast guests by the way that's a good tip for interviews just answer plurally and vaguely about everything. But I don't, I don't know if Nick thought this might be shade because he was on my

podcast. But when I answered that question, I was like, I become friends with like everyone that's on my show. And if I don't, then you know there's a problem. And I like looked at Nick, but I didn't mean to do that. I don't know if I thought I was like on The Bachelor, but I made like this. And if I don't, then you know it's you. Boom, looked at him. But didn't mean that. Like, Nick, we're good. I don't know why I did that look to make you think that you were not okay. So there was that time that his girlfriend wrote the birthday caption and she used

Phineas's girlfriend's birthday caption for him, Phineas, Billy Eilish, his brother, his girlfriend, Claudia. So Nick's girlfriend used her caption for Phineas for Nick's birthday and I called it out

and Nick got like upset. And I was like, Nick, it's okay. It'll be okay. It's not a big of a deal. But no, we were cool after that. But anyway, anyway, oh my God. Okay. So after that, there was the glam bot. And the glam bot is that guy Cole with like the really frizzy hair, the really big hair. And then again, a line. And my agent was like, you should do it. It's super cool. And blah, blah, blah. And I was like, I don't want to say on the line. Like I just could, I could like not do those things too. You know? And I don't think I would lose sleep over it. But she's like, no, you have to do it. You have to do it. Don't worry you guys. We got the nominee card. The nominee card. That's why I'm not going anywhere without a nominee card. I'm staying home. So I got in. did it horribly flared my nostrils swayed like brittany i don't know what the fuck i did i was just ready to get inside and get a glass of wine thank god they had a avaline wine inside so could drink as

much as i want without getting a headache because it's really good wine um not an ad no food though bummer how how bumming is that oh i forgot to fucking mention that the dress that i picked so i did use a stylus here in new york it's just the only way to do it when you're going like go fucking think about what you're going to wear. And, you know, when you have a stylist, it just works. And it's quite, I mean, it's, I won't say it's cheap, but it's a doable thing. Even hair and makeup is like a doable thing. Everything sounds really grandiose and really large, obviously, if you're not in this industry, but then you're like, oh, you know, it's doable. Okay, I told you guys about Nix a gazillion times. Nix is a woman-owned company founded in 2013. It's an intimate

Apparel Company. They're also Canadian. We love Canadian. Sorry, not sorry. Their biggest innovation is their leakproof underwear, but they also have super supportive bras that don't use underwires. And they also, what I really, really love about them, have been committed to size inclusivity from the beginning. So that to me is like, you got me. You got me right there. This wasn't like an untrend thing to do. This is how they started. The company comes in a range of sizes from extra small to for X L. Okay. So you got to switch to Nix. Ditch your uncomfortable underwire bras for super supportive and comfortable wireless bras. For me, like wires aren't a freaking option. Their bras go up to an H cup, which is amazing because they're not only comfortable, supportive, and versatile.

They go up to an H cup. But don't you forget about their leakproof underwear that can absorb up to eight tampons worth of liquid. I know that's a lot of tampons and liquid, but it freaking works. Perfect for periods, light bladder leaks, and sweat. Right now, you can get 15% off your first order. You just

go to nix.com and use promo code not skinny. Check out, that's nix spelled k-n-I-X.com, and the promo code is not skinny for 15% off your first order. Had to do it. The Sparkly, Brandon Maxwell dress, just spoke to me from

the lookbook that they sent me. They sent me like a gazillion options at first to see like what my style is and I circled kind of what I liked. And I remember seeing that dress being like, this isn't me, but something about it is like screaming my name. And that was one of the options on the rack when I did my first fitting. And after I tried on it was like there's nothing else. And I know it's a lot and I know it was sequin. But it just fit really nicely. And I felt like where else but the PCA is to be like sparkly. You know, this isn't the governor's ball. This isn't the White House, the White House correspondence at dinner. Like you could be sparkly and crazy so crazy so wild so that's what i went with but the buttons were really

flimsy so initially the stylist were like okay they're gonna have to sew you in like once it's on you we'll just like send someone the day of the show obviously because if not like literally my spinks would be showing okay obviously the day of the show i'm like getting hair makeup all this is happening the tailor comes to my room um i'm like oh hello you know you organize all these things but then they happen and like this person shows up and then hair shows up and then makeup shows up and the tailor is there and you're like hi mister can you like wait for a second so he's like yeah well I'm here to pick up the dress and I have to leave in like 10 minutes and I'm like no no no you're supposed to sew it on me and he was like oh I don't have like my stuff here with me and oh my god you guys

my mom I was in my room and my mom actually had that conversation with him I didn't hear that and my mom comes in and she was white in the face I thought something had happened to know I got forbid and I was like mom is everything okay and she's like no actually, everything's not okay. And I was like, oh my God. And I heard no one. I was okay. Noah's fine. Like, what else could it be? And she's like, he didn't come with

the stuff to sew the dress on you. And I was like, okay. Anyway, I ended up calling downstairs to the hotel and they brought up a needle and thread and he sewed it on me. And thank God. Because if not, like, my spanks would be out to the world the moment that I like sat in the car, the moment that I got there, all the shit. Whatever. Anyway, flash forward.

We go inside to the hall. So fucking nice to finally be inside and be dead. I feel like the hard part is definitely just the red carpet. Like when you're watching a show, you're watching a show. What's really cool is like being nominated. I got to sit like at the tables because they're also like bleachers on the other side. I think more for fans and other guests and also the fans that are standing up. Pretty small theater though.

Nothing like you think like when you're watching it on TV. So we sat at the table. It was just wild because you think I would watch the show and watch. like Adam Sandler all these people on stage and like if you saw me yeah I was on my phone because I was living

for posting my pick like seeing what everyone was saying and like I know that's gross but like there was no way I could put aside what I had just been through and like watch the show and be like

that's so silly no no I was living for like what I just experienced like you know so I didn't really watch the show, to be honest. The only really moments that I noticed was obviously Ryan Reynolds going up. I don't know, kind of over him, to be honest, and the, like, funny jokes. He actually didn't land a few. I just think that, like, he's cute and funny, but, like, sometimes when he tries to be funny, and so much, just like chill.

I saw Olivia Wilde come up to where the tables were. Her face, you guys. I don't know. She has this look, if you remember her from the OC2. This look of, like, Deviant. I don't know how to say it, but her look is like, like evil evil look like I had heard from people in the industry that her vibe is like gives I don't want to be famous I don't care about the spotlight blah blah blah but IRL she's like give me the fame give me the spotlight give me the press give me the whatever and that's literally what I felt when I saw her I was like she is loving this um by the way again with people knowing and not knowing I didn't know. I feel like Olivia Wilde knew DWD was winning. Don't worry, worry, darling because she wouldn't come if it didn't.

Do you get what I mean? I feel like those kind of people come only if they know they would win. I come just being nominated. So, and obviously it's a good look for people's choice to like have major celebs come, but they need to know that they're winning, you know. It's not the Oscars.

They're not going to be sitting there like, well, lost, you know, so whatever. Anyway, I could just tell she was loving the crowd and like loving the moment also she's like you know her exes need to see her shining right now

with her nips out and the whole thing but that's the vibe that's the vibe that I got there was a really special moment with Selma Blair and Lizzo and really really special moments but I was on my phone I have to be honest like I'm honest with you you would be on your phone you would be looking around to see who's there and and it was just a really really surreal experience there was an after party I didn't go. There's no way. Like this whole thing, you're getting ready

from fucking noon. You're getting ready for it for weeks. There's no way the day is continuing. There is no fucking way. So, you know, we went home after that. Saw Noah,

had Chinese. And, oh, and then I found out that I didn't win. I found out, I'm trying to think how. I went to check maybe and it said winner

on Megan Margles, podcast. To be honest, I know, you know, people love to hate, but for some reason, in my mind, when I sort of made the decision that I'm not winning, she was in my competition. I did think it was between the girls. I know that Dak Shepard, I mean, Armature Expert was my first podcast that I ever listened to. I'm obsessed, Clinton O'Brien, you know, but I just felt like it's between the girls because, you know, our listeners, just girls, girl power, you know, more voters, more people. for some reason, Megan wasn't in my mind. It was like Emma and Alex, but not Megan, for some reason.

Listen, I haven't listened to her podcast. I heard that it's very good. I really am not upset at all that I didn't win. I swear. I mean, Phoebe from the NBC got me a little bit excited for a minute, but I swear I'm not upset. I'm just like, let's go next year, you know? That's my goal now to be nominated again next year.

But I think I was just surprised that it was Megan. I think a lot of people were surprised that it was Megan. A lot of people started saying like, it is rigged, which I don't think it is, obviously. But I wonder if she like cared about the nomination even. If she like mentioned it somewhere. I mean, listen, people are going to have a lot of thoughts. Once this documentary, once everybody watches this documentary, I am sure.

But I'm trying to thank you guys of more celeb sightings because there weren't many. I mean, I saw a lot of people from the industry and I love seeing people from the industry that I talked to online and I'm at IRL. Like I said, The Selling Sunset cast, Chris and Chloe, poor Chloe had that malfunction, had that hair malfunction, which I didn't even notice when they won. Oh, actually, I was in the bathroom. I got back. Husband was like, Chris and Chloe just got here. They were like a couple tables away from us. I was like, oh my God, where?

And husband's like there. And I thought he like doesn't know, which like isn't surprising because he thought that Ryan Reynolds. was Ryan Gosling. But he was like there. And I couldn't recognize because Chloe's hair looked different. So I think I was like expecting like blonde, you know, and it was like more of a honey color and very, very voluminous. I was like, that's Chloe. And I went over and I said hi. And the first thing I said was like, I didn't recognize you because of the hair. And I get, and that stuck with her a little bit because she said then she went to the bathroom and looked at herself and was like, oh my God, and had to fix a bunch of things. And meanwhile, they were called up for the award

of Best Reality Show and Chloe for Best Reality Star and she was in the bathroom which is also shocking that they let her go to the bathroom and not and they didn't say like wait your award is coming up and that's why she was laid to stage and she later posted on her social

what happened with her hair and something happened with the zipper so there's always something but I feel like that's what makes Chloe relatable and that's what makes her win this award five years in a row which is voted for by the people because she's relatable because she shares these kinds of things.

But no, Chris Jenner actually kills me. Like, every time I told you guys about my interaction with Chris and Chloe when I went to the Lemmey party. And I told you guys, it was very much like on the show where they have this like sarcastic Gilmore girls back and forth. Like, mom, like, uh, uh, the way she is on the show where she's like, I can't muster a single fuck to be given. And Chris is always telling her about her stewardess days or whatever.

And Chloe's like, why am I the daughter always? first of all, I just want to fucking say that Chris motherfucking Jenner stood up for me. Like, I came to say hi. Like, I would not expect to, like, get up and hug me moment, but, like, what a fucking queen.

And then she really liked my dress and asked me if it was a good American. And that was so funny, especially because Chloe was like, mom, it's not fucking good American. Like, again, with that relationship and I just love their banter. But anyway,

That was a really, really cute moment, won for the books. But yeah, but then we finished the awards. You know, we got in a car. We went home back to real life. That's what I love. And that's why I love getting to experience these things that are larger than life. And then take off all the shit. Put on your pajamas, wash off the makeup and eat Chinese and hang out with Noah.

And just get to take it all in. And that's what I just. truly, truly feel. I think with me, I don't take it all in totally because I think you couldn't. You know, there are things in life where it's like, you can't be walking on a cloud and thinking like, what was me? So I stay very self-aware and all that. But I really want to thank you guys for your support and you listening to this fucking podcast that won't be nominated after this episode. That's for sure. But I just had to talk to you and I had to share everything with you and this whole experience with you and just know how much it means to me for real i don't take

any motherfucking thing for granted anything any fucking day any fucking thing for granted it's still wow to me i still can't believe that i get to do this don't hate me but also know that i put everything that i have into it so i love you so much and thank you for for listening to this little People's Choice Awards spiel. I hope it's not the last, but it was definitely the motherfucking first. And that's it. And I'm back home,

back in New York. Who knows when the next time will be that we'll do something, that will do something cool like that. But it's really cool that you guys are just here for the ride and that I could fill you in like my little bisties
