what? You drink our faces off.
is. What's up, guys? How
is everyone? It's girl,
Melissa. Welcome to another
episode of on display. My
voice is rough. It's going
to be rough. This whole
entire episode. I don't
know what's up with me,
but like I have no voice.
It's kind of raspy and
not like hot and sexy. Raspy, it's like I'm starving for just to be able to like speak normally.
So this should be an interesting podcast. I feel like my voice has been like this.
First of all, this happens to me every summer.
I'm going to blame it a little bit on the drinking.
I do feel like I drink more in this summer than I do like in the other months. Um, and it's more of a constant. It's like you drink during the week in the summer,
because you're sitting outside and who pours a glass of rosé or whatever it is. And it's like,
I just feel like you need to stop drinking for like probably two weeks straight. That's what I
need to do to get my voice back. But if anyone has any remedies for me,
I mean, I googled it.
It says gargle with salt water.
I'm like, thanks.
My grandmother told me that like 20, 30 years ago,
gargle with salt water.
Like that is not gonna fix my voice.
I did find like some natural remedy drop
from like some random crazy website
that I hope is FDA approved.
It's like squeeze these from the dropper into either it's like some water or just drop them down your throat.
So I was like screw it. I just opened my mouth start dropping. I almost threw up.
It's the most disgusting natural remedy I've ever had and it's not working.
So if anybody has any good, get your voice back secrets.
Please DM me with them because it's rough
And you know one other thing I want to say I think I got this I know when I got this
I know when I woke up with it to start it off to like kick it off and then the alcohol hasn't helped
But to kick it off it was that really smart
I don't know if my New Yorkers, you know, and I know my Canadians over there when it was that big
Smoke and everything in New York and New Jersey was full of like smoke. It was really bad air quality from the
fires in Canada. I was in New York City that day working all day and I
literally had to jump from building to building and I was breathing it in and I
felt it that day like hurting me and when I went to sleep that you know that
night I woke up the next morning. I was like, Joe, I think I'm dying. Like it was clogging me and created mucus or something that I can't get out.
So anyway, I'm gonna stop talking about the fact that I have no voice. And plus I do podcasts and
Instagram. I do all these things that don't allow my voice to rest and my housewife friends,
they don't stop calling myself. I don't want to talk, okay? I really just don't.
But, um, oh, and then I had such an interesting day yesterday. The, the podcast I'm doing with you,
with you guys today was supposed to happen yesterday. Um, it's so funny because me and my guests
today have had several situations where we, we have just had to like reschedule, which
is like insanity.
But and we'll get into that when I introduce my next guest.
But there was an internet slash phone slash TV outage at the Gorgahousehold yesterday.
And I I call Verizon like a savage because nothing's working.
I'm refreshing Instagram.
It's not working.
I'm like trying to turn the TV on and watch the news. The biosis out. It was just bad.
So I finally get some cell phone servers because we have like no LTE on our street either.
So without Wi-Fi, we are nothing. We are zero. We cannot make a phone call. We cannot use
Instagram. We can't do anything. They tell me it's the whole entire street. It should be better by midnight. I call that 8 a.m. So there's that.
And so the whole entire day, I kept driving to Paul Creens. I kept driving to the Walgreens
parking lot because I needed to answer emails. I needed to check Instagram. I was losing
my mind. I'm not even going to lie. I didn't, my doorbell wasn't working.
Like I did not realize how much your life revolves around Wi-Fi.
I could have lived without the TV for the day.
I don't really watch TV, but like I was,
we were dead between the emails and then my kids,
Geno specifically, let's just call Geno out more than the rest.
They all called me, but Geno was like thinking that I had some type of control. He's like, Mom, do it, Mom, get a home, Mom, is it fixed? Did they fix it? I'm like, oh my God, it was just a rough day here yesterday.
Meanwhile, Joe knows nothing.
He leaves the house at 5 a.m. gets home at 8 p.m.
He gets home, he tries to turn on the TV.
He's like, what are we doing?
I'm like, we're doing nothing.
That's what we're doing.
We're doing nothing.
We are not watching TV.
He's like, okay.
And he like tries to go on his TikTok
to watch all his little, I'm like,
no, you're not watching the hot girls on TikTok tonight either.
That's not happening either.
We are going to look at each other or play monopoly.
Like that's what today is going to be.
So yeah, it was a rough day yesterday.
So I'm excited to do this podcast today because then after this podcast,
I'm having a really fun party with my envy girls.
It's kind of just like an envy employee appreciation that I wanted to do for them today. As you guys know, I'm now in Ridgewood, New Jersey with a bigger store and I have a lot more
employees than I did before.
And I can I just tell you, they are amazing.
I'm a very busy person.
I'm extremely hands-on with envy, but like without these girls, I could not I could not do what I do there and they're all they care so much each and every one of them.
They all put like their heart and soul into it as if when I'm not there, they treat it like their own. So I appreciate my girls shout out to the envy girls.
I'm having a party here today just for the envy girls and their hobbies and their boyfriends. So having a little party at the gorge is tonight.
Very excited. We're doing the Porter House party, which is so fun.
Hence why I will have no voice tomorrow. Because if you think I'm just going to make everybody else a cosmo and I'm not going to drink a cosmo.
You have another thing coming. I'm going to drink the gospel.. So, you know, DM me those home remedies because tonight should be fun, you know, with my envy
girls. I can't wait to party with them because I actually love them all so much. But anyway,
all right. Let's jump right into this interview. Listen guys, you know her from Braavos Summer House
and the Winter House shows. She's a victorious secret model.
Hey, and she hosts her own podcast called Code Dependence.
Ladies and gentlemen, I have the always lovely
and honest Sierra Miller.
Okay, Sierra, what's up girl?
How are you?
First of all, how are you?
Thank you for having me on.
You're welcome.
I have a really funny story for all my listeners.
You and I did a podcast back in late January and
It never recorded
It was not your fault. We did a full entire podcast
Yeah, and I and something happened on the other end where it was not recorded. I was so pissed up
You know, you're the only one that's ever ever happened to.
I was so mad because I feel like we had good conversation and it was gone.
I know, I know. We were just like catching up, but honestly, now that I like have my own little podcast and when since that happened,
I'm like always making sure like that recording light is on because I'm like, if I lose, you know, an episode, it's like, yeah, I can only imagine.
So, yeah.
Yeah, I was pissed because then I had a scramble and record another episode.
I was like, this is how you're a whole schedule.
Yes.
So anyway, that was like five months ago.
Like, tell me what's been the best thing that has happened to you in the last five months.
Because I'm watching you on Instagram.
I see there's a lot going on in your life, but tell me, just give me the one best thing
that's happened since the last time I talked to you.
Maya and I started a podcast.
So we are like officially dipping into this podcasting realm, which is, as you know, it's
not easy, but we just kind of wanted to give like our viewers and the fans,
you know, a place to get to know us a little bit more deeper than just on summer house. So,
yeah, it's been quite quite the, quite the job, quite a piece of work. I'm like doing,
we're doing all the editing and social stuff ourselves and are you really? Yeah.
You're editing your own podcasts. Yeah. Wow. Hats off to you for that. I can barely make this thing turn on.
I have my producer hiding here somewhere. Figure it all out. And I still sometimes don't record everything.
But that's awesome. Wait. So it's called tell me about your podcast. Now that you talked about it. I want to talk about it a little bit. It's called co-dependence, right? Yeah, co-dependence. So it's me and Maya and it's basically like,
I mean, pretty much since the moment we met each other, we've kind of been inseparable and obviously
filming a TV show speeds up a relationship. And yeah, I think we both kind of, you know, you get
the online haters and everyone saying,
this, that, and the third about you,
and they think that they know you.
So we were like,
yeah, you actually don't really know us.
So we'll create an outlet for you to get to know us
and like ask us questions and stuff.
And yeah, we're just like your average 20 year old,
30 year old dating in New York City
and trying to figure it out as we go. Yeah, there's a lot of 20, 30 year old dating in New York City and trying to figure it out as we go.
Yeah, there's a lot of 20 30 year old people dating and looking for answers and help and wanting to hear like stories in New York City. So I feel like that's a kind of that's like a good angle
to hit. And I agree with you with the haters and just the social media and the online. It's really
nice to have your own platform where you can just give your side of the story,
especially after an episode, I don't know how rough Bravo is with you about if you talk about
summer house or not, how are they with you with that? Are they strict? We actually don't talk about
summer house at all. We have had Paige and Amanda on one of the episodes, it was like a bedbugs
episode and we talked a little bit, it's like about our friendship and just like try to provide
a different angle, but we really don't talk about summer house just because we do press with them.
We wanted something that was outside of summer house and didn't want that to take up our entire
identity. And we've done a good job of just kind of talking about things separate from the network
and it's easier for like legal stuff.
Yeah, for sure. You won't get all the phone calls that sometimes I get.
We all get yelled at all the time.
But like, I feel like just house wise for me is a little different
because I've been on for so many years.
And it's about family.
It's about my husband and so it's like, I feel like I need to explain
all the time.
And it's like, it's hard.
But no, I've actually done the same thing when I first started and continue to do that.
I want to talk about other things on here besides the real house I was in New Jersey,
because I feel like it just takes over your whole entire life.
And it's like absolute chaos.
But that's hard.
Yeah, like you said, you're family also.
So yes, relevant too.
Yeah, it's rough. And it's like, even if you're just talking about everyday stuff, you're family also. So yes, relevant too.
Yeah, it's rough.
And it's like, even if you're just talking about everyday stuff,
you're still talking about the show because we do all of our everyday stuff on the show.
Do you have a summer anthem?
How does this one sound?

First summer house, did you guys feel, because you're kind of in the same genre of the young,
single people, right?
Did you guys feel pressure when Vanderpump rules blew up
this year, were you guys like,
are we like, hello, what's happening?
Cause I could see it feel,
I even not even in the same realm of like the single people
felt like damn this show is really killing it here. I know and now they have like Emmy nominations.
I'd say personally for me I didn't feel that way. I would say you know we maybe like laughed
and joked about it like okay it looks like we need to have a cheating scandal or something
like laughed and joked about it like, okay, it looks like we need to have a cheating scandal or something. Put us on top of the like to really rank up our numbers and stuff, but
it would be so hard to top something like that that it kind of makes it a very unimaginable.
Yeah, we hope that nothing goes on like that on your cast. That was like, they're all still
being tortured. The whole everybody involved, right? I mean, I don't even know how they come out of that.
That's a creative. That's hope that never happens to any of you guys.
I mean, nominations and all, whatever.
Right. Yeah. I mean, Amanda Juck, she was like, so who's going to sleep with Kyle?
And I was like, who? Crickets. Crickets. Who's going to do it?
I don't know. I was going to do it. Yeah.
So Maya's kind of like, you your bestie on the show, right?
That's who you connect with the most. And Paige, I feel like you're I see you a lot with Paige.
I know you're good friends with Paige. Yeah, definitely. Maya and Paige and Amanda. I mean,
Paige, I spend like Thanksgiving with her family. And like I'm trying to be Italian seriously.
And I mean, also, I've spent a few moments in Boston as well,
and we've just gotten really close since filming,
and yeah, those are, I would say, that's my little group, you know.
Yes, it comes addicting that Italian holiday stuff, doesn't it?
It's just next level.
I mean, I tried to bring a macaroni and cheese,
and bring something southern to the table. And they were like,
they have like, yeah, no, it's okay.
There's like, we fried potatoes and peppers with onions and
yeah, we have zucchini fried zucchini.
Like this, they have like this meat dress like, yeah, they
have honestly the foods freaking amazing.
I go back every year.
I love it, but it's just funny.
It's just like, I'm never going to be Italian,
but I can dream.
So that's the close.
No, it's fine.
You can always eat Italian.
That's the good part.
Yeah.
I just saw that Craig and Paige were just in Italy too.
And I was like, by carously watching,
because I'm leaving next week.
So I was watching and DMing her. And I'm like, where carelessly watching, because I'm leaving next week. So I was watching and DMing her and I'm like,
where's this?
Where's the club?
She told me about this great club.
And like, it was so funny.
She's, they're pretty tight, huh?
Still not engaged, that was too.
I know, right?
She actually planned, like, her and her mom
planned like a sick Italian vacation.
And I was supposed to go.
I was gonna go with them.
And then her brother wanted to bring his
girlfriend or something stupid so it's like fine whatever but I said, okay, I know Craig also had a
good time and I was like, okay, we're doing an Italian vacation like what's gonna happen but
pages very much on you know she's like putting your head down with work and she's like she's on the working.
She's focused and she's so content. I like really look up her to her in that way. I'm like,
you're so content with where you are, what you're doing. It doesn't feel like you feel pressure
from like the outside to you know, move back and be that they want you to. So.
But that's good. That's good when you're confident and you just know that you're good where you are.
I feel like they have a good relationship too.
So that's good.
Are you dating anyone right now?
You're single, right?
I am single.
I am single, but I guess we'll see a little mix up this summer.
Yeah, I'm dating in New York City.
It's hard.
I'm on Raya.
I hate dating apps, but I,
I tried to dabble in them. It's, it flows with those. I like download them, delete them,
download them. But I was Raya. Isn't like Ben App or was, wasn't that the one Ben
Affleck was on? Yeah, but Raya sucks. I just feel like it's like a bunch of guys who want
pen pals and or they're like in different countries.
It's like mega rich guys in different countries.
I don't even, I mean, I guess,
but I've only been out.
Because don't you have to be like special
or something?
Don't you?
We're on our list.
You have to get approved.
Did they've created this wild sense of exclusivity
on this app when really it's,
I don't even think that it's prime real estate.
Like, I don't think you're getting cream of the crop options.
I think that it's just built so much notoriety
because it's exclusive and you go on a waiting list.
But I honestly think the guys suck on there
and they might say that about the girls.
So are you against like being out?
Obviously, you're single, you're young.
If you go to bar, you're moved from Atlanta to New York City,
right?
First of all, how is that?
Do you love living in New York better?
What are you missing Atlanta?
How are you feeling?
I can't believe that I lived in Atlanta
for as long as I did, but honestly, everything's right on time.
I've been here in New York for almost two years,
and I'm so glad that I moved when I did.
I was like 25. Perfect time to move to New York City.
For sure.
Nothing else I could top it. It's so fun.
Restaurants, there's always something to do and I just feel like you're surrounded by like-minded people who are just go getting it.
I'm working.
Yeah, and they're networking and they're like, they're focused on
their careers. But they're also, they're great networkers. They want to connect you to people. It's
just like a, it's a very driven environment, but it's also, you know, dog eat dog and,
right, very easy to like, right, like watch your back and there's front of me and all that a lot of competition out in those streets, right?
So while you're living here, are you
Are you got like are you only an app girl or can you be at a bar and like see a hot guy like I am still so old school
Where if I were single tomorrow?
I would want to be sitting in a bar and like see a guy across the room and be like damn or like that's still the way I would want to meet somebody. Are you do ever do this? That's what I love.
I love to meet someone organically. I think that that's so much more that's so much better than
swiping on an app and then them going to your Instagram and like having that type of impression. I love a guy that can come up to a girl at a bar,
but it seems like that's so few and far between these days.
Like guys, not good with approaching.
I don't understand it, but it's like, if you don't approach me,
then I'm probably not going to talk to you.
I'm not the type to, I'm not that like aggressive, not that it's aggressive,
but I'm not the approacher or that assertive where I'm going to go to, I'm not that like aggressive, not that it's aggressive, but I'm not the approacher
or that assertive where I'm gonna go up to a guy,
although I would say since moving to New York,
I find a lot more girls are able to approach guys.
I feel like more than I ever saw in Georgia, but like,
yeah, for sure.
For sure, there are a lot more like like that in New
York. I feel like a girl just walked right up to him a lot quicker than probably maybe
the Southern girls would know. I mean, I don't know, but I feel like they're very like,
what is what am I looking for? Like they're just very straightforward.
Direct. Yeah. Yes. That's the word. It's very direct. I'm not using a pickup line on a guy. No, that's not happening.
Well, I was going to ask you what your flirt game was like, like, do you take the initiative,
but you're basically saying you don't. No, I don't take the initiative. If you don't come up to me,
we probably won't speak, or like sometimes my friends will like wingman, but a lot of times when
I'm going out, I'm going out with my friend just to have a good time. And if something happens cool, like if I meet someone then, you know, but I like to exchange numbers and not Instagrams, which is another.
snap mom come on I'm like, well what? Like it's not I got her number. It's yeah, I got her snap. And I'm like, no, wait, what? Like I don't understand. We just did this
like thing for college where she had to go and like, go meet all like the senior girls
had to go meet. And she's like, yeah, I got her. Someone did you talk to this girl?
She seems really nice. Yeah, I got her snap. I'm like, yeah, all right. Like they don't
get numbers anymore. They get their snaps. I'm not what's happening. Yeah, it's crazy.

really, you're not the new girl anymore, right?
On, on summer house.
I, I mean, I remember when you were the new girl, but you're not anymore.
You have some new girls from the latest season, right?
Um, Gabby and Sam.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
How do you like them?
Like, what's your situation with them?
I like them.
I feel like Sam feels so, Sam felt so much younger than all of us when
really she she was the youngest girl this past season, but only by like I think we're only like a
year apart, but I still feel like I felt a little bit older than she did. And then Gabby's a
couple years older than me, and like they fit in great. I mean Sam adapted to a Sam and Gabby
both adapted to the Hamptons very easily.
It is kind of weird to think of myself in terms of like, I'm not a new girl anymore,
like potentially going into like my fourth summer in the Hamptons, you know, so it's...
Wow, yeah.
Sometimes I have to tell myself like, I've actually been here for a minute, a hot minute now, you know,
like, but the new girls fit in great. It's always an adjustment period, you know,
filming a TV show in the Hamptons, the hustle and bustle of it
all, but they handled it great.
How is it? First of all, so you basically spend just about
every summer in the Hamptons for the last four years, right?
Do you miss being able to like your life, or do you,
I mean, listen, if you're gonna spend anywhere
in the summer, the Hamptons is a great spot, right?
To be-
Yeah.
Because even on your days off, you're gonna go to great restaurants
and there's like so many options.
You can party, you can do everything there.
Right, yeah, no, I mean, now, since it's like so
a part of my yearly routine.
I do have my moments where, you know,
I feel like, like, I feel like I'm like neglecting my friends
and my other friend groups.
And so, because I'm so busy over the summer,
so that part's kind of like sad and, you know,
if I come to the Hamptons and I'm out there,
I try to like, you know, sneak away after cameras go down
to like go hang out with them, but it's hard and it's tiring. And the summertime, I try to like, you know, sneak away after cameras go down to like go hang out with them,
but it's hard and it's tiring and the summertime, I think people know it's like I'm
this is like another part of a job that I have to go and do also partying, but I do feel like
sometimes I like neglect my friends. Like I have to tell them like I'm not trying to not text you back,
but I'm just in a different headspace right now.
Yeah, I go through the same thing.
I get friend guilt constantly
because we film pretty much every summer too
for three, four months straight.
And it's like, I even get family guilt
because my sister's my cousins, I have like a huge family.
Everybody wants to hang out.
And I'm like, not unless you want to sit here
and watch me film a TV show,
and it's not that fun. So it's like, So yeah, they just I don't get to see them. So I always get that.
I know that you and Danielle had like some ups and downs. Where do you guys stand today? How are you
right now? Honestly, we're good. It's like such a, it's kind of crazy how far we've come because I
would say going into this last season, I was not even
thinking about forging any type of friendship. I was like, I can coexist, I can, you know, have a
conversation with her, but in terms of us, like really even being friends, I was kind of definitely
on the fence about that. It didn't really feel like we would forge that much of a friendship,
just just on the beginning temperatures of the first couple of weeks, but it really made a 3 180 and on a second say we're really good. It's been really fun to get to know her and.
When we think back on it, really it's kind of silly how it's been almost three years and we're just now getting to know each other and just now asking,
you know, basic questions about each other. And the main thing was that we never really had any
beef that, you know, I did to her and she did to me. It was always, you know, based on, you know,
the friendships that were formed in the house. And obviously we went through that rough patch with one of her friends.
And so when you're sticking up for other people, it muddies waters and...
Right. Yeah, so...
Yeah, that's what happens. You end up sticking up for your girlfriends and then you end up arguing
with a person you're sticking, you know, that you're not sticking up for them. Really, you don't
really even have any beef with them. It's not really personal. You're kind of just backing up your friend.
And I feel like that's one of the biggest things
on these reality shows.
It's just finding a balance to let people know
when they're wrong, when you don't agree with them,
but still let them know like, listen,
I'm not saying we need to be lethal enemies.
I just don't agree with what you're saying.
I feel like a lot of girls on my show
could learn a couple of things and do that
because they feel like they have to defend people
until they die instead of make their own relationships
with people and learn how to separate the two.
And that's a really big problem.
I think with a lot of the girls on reality television,
it's not just ours, it's like they can't navigate that.
Yeah, and it's hard because like when you do form a bond
with someone, especially on a TV show,
it's the trust runs differently and deeper, I think,
because yeah, this is gonna air in front
of so many thousands of different people.
Like it's going to be everywhere
and I don't wanna feel like, you know,
my friend betrayed my trust in a situation.
Like you want to be secure in that friendship.
So it's difficult.
And I think now after being in it for a while, I don't take anything personal,
but also like, I don't care.
I don't care.
You could talk shit about me.
I don't care.
I let it roll off.
You let it roll off.
You're good.
You have like a reset button, which is good. And you know what?
If you don't, you don't take it so deep or to heart so bad, that's the best way to be. Or you will lose your mind on this.
Who would you say out of your cast is the most sensitive? Like, were you know that you said something? You're like, they're not, they're going to lose their mind.
They're going to call me. They're going to text me. Who's sensitive on your cast?
going to text me, who's sensitive on your cast?
Probably the person that's most reactive, Lindsay.
I'm most sensitive. Well, I don't even know, she's the most reactive.
In terms of if someone says something impressed,
she's definitely gonna react, pull up receipts,
do her little whole database thing,
but who's more sensitive?
Kyle's also very sensitive. Kyle is, he's a baby.
Oh wow. I don't think I would know that. Yeah, I guess so. That makes sense. Yeah, like he
is. He's adorable, but he's very sensitive. Yeah, I'm going to just go with Kyle. Yeah.
Is Craig just in there filming with you guys? Like, are you guys he part of this house because he's part of Paige's life? No, he's not my Craig is a visitor.
He's a visitor at the house, okay? Visitor, but and when he comes, like we love him,
he's, it feels like he's always been there, but he has no say. He has no say in like what's
happening. I don't even think that's his personality anyway to go and like want to have a say.
I feel like he can get involved when he like,
really, it involved Craig, like kind of super opinionated.
And that's like the friend of the friend of summer house.
Oh my god. I would never say that to his face, but yeah.
Oh, is that okay? Sorry, Craig. I didn't mean that in a bad way, but he's to friend of pages. Right? Okay.
Oh my God. But yeah, Craig's super opinion is there's no problem getting involved, but he's like when he comes, he's really in the mindset of like, he just wants to have fun and it's like an opportunity for us to like spend time together and
And it's like an opportunity for us to spend time together and for him to like hang out with everyone. So he tries to like be a little bit hands off. It's not his show. So yeah.
Okay. Well, do you have any teasers yet? Like anything you can say that's going to be so dramatic and crazy.
Nothing dramatic and crazy. I feel like the blogs every year find the blogs are so good.
They muster up every detail where it's like by the time
it actually comes out, there's very little surprises,
very few surprises because they've already.
What is that?
Like, wow, just someone tell me how.
Obviously, there's a leak, right?
So it's like, whoever it is on your cast is talking to
someone who was talking to the blogger. And they're like, oh, I don't do it. Nobody does it. Nobody
does it. But everyone has a friend. I mean, our cast members, like then post pictures with bloggers,
it's just so obvious that like, we see, we know where it's coming from. And it's so stupid. I
never get that because it's like, don't you want them to be surprised to make the right things better and like wait for it
I don't even think they want to know all these details like they'd rather watch it on TV. Right. It definitely kills the suspense
Because they spend months already
Formulating who they think that these people are gonna be and every year we always have new people. So
You know allow for like a proper introduction,
you know, but I think they're always surprised
with the season.
I'm always surprised with the season.
I never know what's gonna, you know, make the edit,
what's gonna pan out.
Right, you never know what's gonna like roll off.
Have you been like, I know last time I spoke to you,
even though it didn't air, you were telling me that you were, you had like a little bit of a crazy or season and that you did
like you were like, you know, now it aired already, but are podcasted in air. You were telling me
like, Oh, God, I don't know what I did this time. Like you had a stressful moment. Have you had any
of these yet? Not yet. I will say last year, there was just like a lot of ups and downs, like emotionally,
mentally, and then yeah, it was just a lot last year, but it aired a very light season, so I couldn't
be mad at that, you know, but that's always a good thing. Yeah. Do you guys drink a lot in that house?
Like is there a lot of alcohol flowing in like every single night or what?
at house? Like is there a lot of alcohol flowing in like every single night or what? Yeah, drink our faces off like it is a marathon. It's a marathon. And I don't even, I'm not a heavy
drinker. And I don't really drink that much in the off season. I'll say like I very, I hardly
keep alcohol in my own home. Because we drink so much over the summer that I'm like, I'm good for the entire year.
You were right.
You're like, I'm all for it.
I do not.
I mean, the first, I mean, we will get like eight handles of vodka,
have like seven handles of tequila,
and knowing that we will drink it all.
It'll eventually get drunk, so just buy it.
Just buy it all.
It will get drunk like
it's a problem.
Is your are your refrigerators always full in that house?
Like these are the questions I
want to know. Is there snacks
and food and fruit? Do they
keep the fridges stocked with
what you guys want to eat?
So we do all the grocery
shopping. So like I like to put
in a good hefty order. I'm
very good at ordering for a
football team. I don't know why I'm focused, but like I say,
I'm like, maybe I'll have a big family one day
because I order as if I have like 10 kids.
If you just love French onion dip,
we go through about like three French onion dips
in a weekend.
Buffett.
Nobody's kissing after that.
Geez.
You'd be surprised.
Sorry.
Buffett can grab fruits. We eat a lot of broccoli in the house.
Macaroni, like the Annie's macaroni, craft macaroni,
and cheese.
Yes, yes.
We're very much like meat and cheese people.
Like we love a good charcuterie and like any cheese
to snack on.
Amanda is obsessed with olives.
So we always have to have olives in the house.
I'm thinking about pickles. I'm believe of all. obsessed with olives. So we always have to have olives in the house. Pickles. Unbelievable.

might not know about you is that you used to be an ICU nurse. Am I right? And that you modeled the you modeled so that you can actually go and pay for nursing school. Yeah, so I've been
modeling since I was like 15 or 16. And I so I'm modeled my way through nursing school and after and
honestly it's actually something that I'm about to sign with like my first New York agency also. Wow. So I'm like super
excited about that. It's always a congratulations. That is awesome. First number one. Number two,
you have modeled for Victoria's Secret. Is this a dream come true? Talk to me about that for a second.
Like something I could have only imagined in my like wildest dream. So it's kind of crazy that, you know,
It's kind of what's all happening. Yes. Yes. So
So I'm just really trying to like get my ducks in a row with that and
being prepared to be signed and
Yeah, like wanting that part of my life to kind of take off. I
Mean, I love modeling. I've always done it.
I definitely got my degree because my mom gave me an
ultimateum and I had to and I love nursing.
But I think I always knew, you know,
and my mom knew as well.
She's like, you're either probably going to be like
modeling full time or doing something.
So she wanted me to always have something that I can kind of pick up
and put down on my own leisure and nursing was the best career for that and not to always have something that I could kind of pick up and put down on my own leisure. And nursing was the best career for that and not to mention. I loved it. I love being in the ICU
and I love, you know, having that medical knowledge. But I think after the pandemic, it was
burnout phase and I just, it was like, I need to take it being a bedside nurse in the ICU.
I mean, we got killed for the past three.
Yeah, it was rough.
My niece says we're doing it too.
And it was, it was, it was rough.
It was so rough, but that's pretty amazing that you were smart enough to use modeling to
pay for your nursing, for your nursing school.
That's pretty, I feel like it's very independent of you and very like, I like that little story.
I feel like it's a nice story.
I look at you now.
Now you have, I saw you just post Mabeline
as well, Victoria's Secret.
I mean, you're killing it.
And I remember the first time I met you,
you and I did a Marshall's commercial together.
I ended up loving you.
I was like, she's so cool.
You're so beautiful.
So I was like so happy to do that. That commercial was so. So I was like so happy to to do that commercial was so cute. By the way, they did
another yeah, I feel like so long ago. I was like such a little baby, you know, even in the bravo sphere. Yeah, you were brand new. You were brand new. Yeah, you were brand new. And then we just did. What else do we just I just saw you at the Met Gala for e news. We did like a backstage thing for for their corresponding for all the looks that was kind of fine to that was a cute little moment.
Okay, well, before I let you go, I just want to talk fashion with you for a second, okay, because I feel like you have great style you dress you dress great, I mean, you have the body to put everything on, but you have really great styles. So I feel like my listeners lately,
they love websites, right? They want to know. So what are your like,
give me your top splurge websites, like when you're going in and you're going to splurge,
and then give me when you find like your cute little summer outfits, your less expensive,
your most affordable, give me some of the websites that are like your go-to.
you're most affordable. Give me some of the websites that are like your go-to.
Okay, so recently I just put in an order on Sense and it's SSE in SE. Oh, oh, I see that pop up on Instagram all the time. Sense.
You need to, yeah, it's sense. You need to shop there, shop on there. I just put in like a huge
order. Obviously, like, need summer clothes. If you go to the sale and I strictly shop on sale, I'm not like a huge designer junkie.
I don't need labels, but it is nice to have like some of that higher quality stuff.
Right.
And when they put there, when they mark down things, they're marking it down and you can
get such a good deal on it.
And I, I mean, I bought like 30 something, things on this website because they're great brands
and I got such an affordable price. I love one I can score like designer brands like
under a hundred bucks. So if you definitely like thread through look it did take a couple
days but I still found like some great things. I'm really loving this website called Dish. It's an Australian brand. Medium?
Yeah, not bad prices at all.
I would say medium range.
Under 200.
Australian brands have taken over by the way.
They're really hot outfits most of them.
And they are very fairly priced.
I have a lot of them actually at my store at envy.
All Australian brands because they took over,
they're just everywhere,
and they're really, really cute stuff, right?
I feel like, I mean, sometimes even,
like they do a lot of frontels for their pieces in Australia,
and I'm like, oh my God, I could just live in Australia
and like run some of these pieces.
I know, it's so damn far,
but like, at first of all the models are beyond gorgeous
that they use, but I'm like, and I will say the Australian brands, I'm just giving everyone a head up, but like, first of all, the models are beyond gorgeous that they use to, but I'm like,
and I will say the Australian brands, I'm just giving everyone a head up, heads up, they
run really small.
So, like, if you're a small, you're a medium, if you're an extra small, you're the small,
it's just, it is what it is.
They must just make tiny or people.
Right.
Yeah.
But you're definitely got to go one size down in the Australian brands.
How do you decide like what you're going to wear for summer house?
Like because I feel like it's pretty chill out there, right?
Do you guys ever coordinate you and the other girls?
A lot of times we don't discuss our clothes.
And unless it's like for a party, I will say a lot of times we don't discuss our looks.
We don't discuss our clothing.
I will talk about that because it's like a secret. Nobody was like, yeah, I'm
like that. So I'm like, don't ask me what I'm going to wear. I hate that. I hate when they
text me, like, what are you going to wear to the event? I'm like, I don't know. And a lot
of times, I don't know. But for bigger events, like the reunion, we never discuss our outfits
because it's like you either show up and show out or you're getting left behind like
So I got in a similar look like
You know, we want people to just like be original, but I agree it turns on what it is like but a lot of times are having like themed things
So sometimes that puts like a themed party will like you know kind of brainstorm, but for the most part, I would say, even though it's chill out there, we're also
We're just more dressier than the average person should be, but
Yeah, but who cares? You're also filming a show and we want to see you guys looking high and in your outfits and inspire us
We want you to keep inspiring us. I think the fun part about it too.
I used to wear stuff that I wouldn't typically wear
and stuff that I might be too lazy to pack
and any other what, any other way.
So it's like I'm so happy.
I get happy to wear like your own reality show, right?
Because I feel like I used to get dressed cute all the time
and I'm like, where am I going?
Like, now there's a real good reason to look good to go to dinner. Right, yeah. I going? Like, I love that. Now, there's a real good reason
to look good to go to dinner.
Right.
Yeah.
Like it follows you.
Yeah.
Yes.
