The following podcast is a Dear Media production. From Vanderpump rules to motherhood and everywhere in between. Warm up the kettle, it's time to spill some tea. Let's get into some shenanigans with Sheena Shay Happy New Year everyone. Welcome back to shenanigans I'm joined today by two-thirds of this side of the hill podcast because you know, someone's got to watch the baby We've got my BFF Janet and her BFF the mayor of Titty City himself Was not expecting that intro Yeah, is that your favorite intro I've done? Oh my god, I'm blushing. I feel so honored. Wait, is your your favorite intro I've done? Yes, I love it. Oh my God, I'm blushing.

I feel so honored. Wait, is your Instagram bio not Mayor of Titty City? No, but it's gonna be changed very shortly. Yeah, he's updating now. You wanna explain why you're Mayor of Titty City? Is that it? No, we're gonna get into it. Yeah, let's leave him with a little bit of curiosity.

For sure. How are we doing? How was everyone's New Year? It was good. Dude, New Year slapped, baby. We went to a burlesque show. Oh, fun. Yeah. Oh, at the Kookaburra Lounge.

Yeah, love that place. Yeah, I know they're doing another burlesque night closer to Valentine's Day. And Brock said he would rather go there for comedy, not to see girls dancing and stripping. So honestly, the burlesque was so good. Burlesque is not... He's not into it. He's like, I don't know where to look. I just like he's awkward.

Yeah. With burlesque specifically or with like women stripping clubs, burlesque, burlesque and stripping. I know different. You know, burlesque. Burlesque is like a talent. Burlesque is for women. I feel like burlesque is for the female gaze. Right. So I'm thinking we do a girls night, like a little galentine and go to the burlesque.

Yes. And I told Katie, I said add some drag into it too. Drag, burlesque, make it like a whole... Yeah. It's just like they go together. Yes, they do. Yeah. Fun. Are we feeling any different now that it's, you know, a new year? New year, new me? I actually am a little bit. We were talking about this on our podcast a little bit how resolutions like before this year, I feel like I was always like, eh, what am I going to stop doing? Or, you know, there's nothing I have to do.

But when I have a baby now, I feel like there's goals that I want to set for the first time ever. Like, there's like, I want to make sure we're reading multiple books every day instead of only stuff at night. And I don't know, just little things. I want to make sure Cam gets out more and is socializing And like, I don't know, just little things. Like I wanna make sure Cam gets out more and is socializing more. And I don't know, all my like goals in New Year stuff

is all related to like mom and baby things. Yeah, what about you? Before I even care. I mean, I don't have any resolutions at all. I've kind of died off on the resolution thing. I feel like it, we did talk about this ad nauseum, but just like the pressure that it puts on at the beginning of the year,

I don't like feeling that pressure. So I'd rather kind of have an idea of what I wanna start doing. For me, it's stop vaping. So I'm gonna like, you know, but it's not like a cold turkey thing on January 1st because I was hungover and I needed it. So it's like, do you know what I mean?

So it's like, but I'm also not gonna- I had a hair with a dog yesterday too. Yeah. Yeah. You get it. So, you know, I'm gonna keep trying, but not put that pressure where it's like, oh shit, now I have to start in 2026. So that's where I stand at it kind of happen half thing for sure

I know I was like, oh, let's do dry January, but I'm like, you know what? Honestly when you do like those hard goals and it's not always realistic You know not that I need to drink but if there's an event coming up or something a dinner I want to have a glass of wine. I'm like, no no, I'm doing Dry January. I cannot drink at all. Yeah. And yesterday, yeah, I wanted a hair of the dog. We were at Lance Bass's house in Palm Springs till God knows what hour. It was, I don't know, three.

That looked fun. Four. I don't know, it was really late, but it was so much fun. That's really fun. So he has a house in Palm Springs video? Yes, ten minutes from me. Oh, that's lucky. It's so nice. So the day before we went over there and got the kids together and they swam and played and it was so much fun. Yeah.

And are they the same age this summer? They're six months apart, but they're in the same class. That's the same age. Yeah. They're such sweeties. I actually did their men's grooming for a shoot one time years ago before they had kids and stuff. Such a lovely couple. Yeah, I love them.

Lance's mother-in-law was there and stuff. It's such a lovely couple. Yeah, I love them. Lance's mother-in-law was there and she was just such a spitfire too. She's such a funny, iconic woman. She just loves her gay sons. Like it's so cute. Yeah, no, it's so cute. I want to get them back on the pod because I had Lance on so many years ago.

I mean, probably like five years ago at this point. It was back when I was over at Podcast One. So long time ago. Oh wow. And I think that Michael was with him that day, but he was just like sitting in the studio He wasn't an actual guest So I want to have Brock and I do one with the two of them and we talked about doing this last year But with the trolls movie coming out and Dreamworks, it was like on a press hold Yes, and then we just haven't done it but But we had such a fun weekend. I'm like, we gotta put this on the pod. That is iconic. Yeah. How long do you guys think until we are

gonna stop writing 2024 on like forms or do people still write checks? Like personal checks? Oh, I don't know. I haven't had a checkbook in many years. No, I feel like it takes a month. Do you know, I don't feel like I wrote 2024 at all last year. Like, I feel like I was stuck on 2023, so I feel like this will be an easy jump for me. I know. I feel like it takes me a minute. Like, any contract or whatever, if you're typing it maybe, but whenever I'm writing it, it takes me a while.

I feel like we don't write stuff anymore, actually. Yeah. And then it'll just autocorrect it. Yeah. For the most part. I'm trying to think. I feel like we don't write stuff anymore, actually. Yeah. And then it'll just auto-correct it. Yeah. Yeah. For the most part. I'm trying to think. I just signed something recently,

but I don't know if it was for like, I'm buying a new car. If it was paperwork, I had to fill out for that. You're buying a new car? I am. You're like me, you hold onto cars forever. Yeah, that's why I'm buying it, not leasing, because I'm gonna keep it forever.

I've had my Ford for over eight years. We all three do this. This is the one thing we, like one of many things we have in common is we keep our cars forever. Mine's a 2014 or 2013. Yeah, mine's a 2016. Yeah, I've had that for eight years.

I had my Z up until it was stolen since 2009. That's wild. 2009? Yes, I drove it brand new, off the lot. Well, I test drove it brand new and then it was sent to me by a broker or whatever. But like, is that what they're called? Yeah. Like a car broker. I don't know that stuff.

No, I remember saying this and they're like, you didn't drive it off the lot. They delivered it to you. I was like, well, I drove it off the lot. Whatever. What car are you getting? So I really like the new Lincoln Aviators the 2025 ones I saw one driving in Palm Springs and here's the thing. I haven't paid for it yet I've just ordered it But I'm starting to have buyer's remorse and I haven't even bought it yet and I'm like, I don't know if I like it in black

Oh So one of those big good thing you have to describe it for someone who doesn't know what cars are at all It's a SUV similar. It's like if my Ford Explorer sport and a Range Rover had a baby Mm-hmm, so it's more if they copy elegant Yeah, then my Ford, but it's really nice and it's actually a tiny bit smaller When I opened up the back to see the storage space I was like, I don't know if I want a down size. Brock wants like, Lala just got a Denali.

Like he wants like a big car. And I'm like, maybe when we get rid of the Ford, we can get a big car, but I don't want something bigger as my everyday car. The Z was my drive around town, do errands, when I'd come over the hill to the podcast, that was my little race car. I don't want to wanna have this massive tank.

I'm having a parallel park on one-way streets in Beverly Hills. Like, no. So annoying. Yeah. So I really liked the Aviator, but the one I saw in Palm Springs this weekend was silver. And I was like, shit, I ordered black

because I wanted black on black. But now I'm thinking maybe I'll just wrap it and do like a light gray silver wrap on it because then that also protects the paint. I like that. And then when you unwrap it, you'll be like, -"Oh my God, it's a brand new car!" -"It's a brand new car!" No, seriously.

Well, that'd be exciting. Yeah, so I'm excited. But I don't know when it's gonna come. It said that the order was placed. Wait, you have buyer's remorse in advance. Are you gonna keep, stick with it? Or are you gonna remorse yourself out of it? When it comes, I'll make sure I like that one because I test drove one,

but I didn't test drive mine. We will be expecting a follow up on this. There will be for sure. I'm like, you know, if I don't like the color of it, I can just wrap it. OK. Instead of like, wait to wear a silver one. I don't know. Anyway, how did you both spend the holidays? Are you sad or relieved that they're over? I'm kind of, I feel like the holidays we talked about,

this is like the perfect amount of time. Like sometimes it feels like they fly by, but I feel like when, especially when Christmas day is on midweek and New Year's days and midweek, it feels like you really get the full experience of holidays. Although we did get called out because I said the same thing. I was like, it's so nice it's on a Wednesday.

And people who work jobs were kind of like, it's actually a little annoying because some of us have to go back to work like that Thursday or Friday. And they're like, we actually prefer if it's like on a Thursday or Friday. And we're like, oh my God, it's awesome. It's the middle of the week. Like we get to do nothing. And we're like, everybody gets two weeks off this year.

And everybody was like, no. There's no traffic anywhere the next day. And I'm like, wait, there is traffic. But we did a lot of stuff together. I spent Christmas at Janet's, because my parents went and saw the grand babies and stuff. And we had a good, pleasant Christmas. And I'm sad it's over.

I'm really sad. Yeah, Summer is very sad about her elf going back to the North Pole. What'd she name it this year? Elfie. Elfie. Or is it the same name every year? Do they get? No, because next year

it's going to be a different elf, I think, that comes to visit. Maybe a girl elf. Oh, yeah. So I've been this whole thing. OK, trigger warning for parents again, if you're listening in the car with your kids, you shouldn't be.

But I'm going to start talking about stuff. So I realized as I was sending my vlogs to Justice and he's editing them and I'm watching them back, I was like, if I go to like my solo confessional, if I say something that Summer shouldn't hear, be aware of that for me too, because as I was watching our Christmas vlog with her, the Hawaii one, I was like, oh my God, oh my God,

am I gonna say something? I wasn't even thinking until she's watching it with me so I can approve it. And I'm like, what if one, I was like, oh my God, oh my God, am I gonna say something? I wasn't even thinking until she's watching it with me so I can approve it. And I'm like, what if after, I'm like, I can't believe she's falling for this shit, you know? Like I didn't, but I was like, there's still a few more Christmas vlogs to come. So I was like, please be aware of that.

Because on the podcast, I talk candidly. She's not listening to my podcast. She does occasionally scroll Instagram. She does watch my YouTube videos. Wait, she's not listening to my podcast. She does occasionally scroll Instagram She does watch my first Instagram. Yes Knows what Instagram is like so she got so pissed at me you guys that I put the Moana one song on Her photo I posted had a full fit because she wanted the Moana to song on her photo baby Get the right no, but summer her photo. Baby get the right IP. No, but summer I was like, I want the part where it's like, I am Moana.

Like I wanted that from the first song. And so I was like, anyone who's like, she doesn't know what Instagram is. She's scrolling on her own account. So she only sees like the other kids. She'll look at my page or she'll look at her page. She's like, what's Ocean up to today? Let me just scroll on her. No, like she just looks at like not not the feed, not on the timeline.

She'll just be like mommy I want to see my pictures. And so she'll go on her Instagram and just look at all the photos. I'm with you though, in my head she's totally just sitting there just being like oh there goes ocean, there goes heart for, double tap. She will look at them if I let her, but I don't just give her my phone. Instagram, but yeah the Moana thing. I was like for anyone who says she doesn't know. my phone. That's cute. But yeah, the Moana thing. I was like, for anyone who says, she doesn't know. She knows. That's funny. But, okay, back to the elf.

So this has happened a few times this week. Happened again this morning. She has tears in her eyes. And she's like, I just missed my elf. And I'm like, I feel like such a terrible person for lying to her for like making up this story But I'm like it's what you do Santa elves all of this But now I'm like am I fucking her up no like I? Just I don't know I'm struggling with it because I'm like so do I bring the elf back do I I thought when we left

Palm Springs, and that's where the elf is, that she wouldn't think about him anymore. She hasn't said anything in a couple of days. But then this morning I was like, I don't know if I bring him back to be like just checking in on you. Or if I just hope that once all of our Christmas decorations are down, that that kind of fades

and then we bring it back in December. I bet there I mean there's a lot of stimulation for a young one who is going through the holidays You know what I mean, so I'm sure she's probably It's I mean just like any other human she probably has a little come down from all the excitement and stuff So it probably is hitting her a few days later, but maybe like a little note from Elfie You know what I mean? We have this portal door. Yeah, that's what I was like, should we? But then Brock, it was so sweet.

He FaceTimed me as I'm driving here. And Summer shows me this ornament that his sister got us years ago. And it was on the tree and it says Summer on the back of it. It's white, it's like almost marble and it has a koala imprinted on it in gold. And on the back it says summer with the heart. And he told her that the elf left that for her.

And so she had like a little piece of it today. But when she woke up the morning after, I let him stay one day after Christmas because she went to sleep early. She was so excited for Santa, she didn't get to say bye. And I was like, I don't wanna, you know, she needs her goodbye. And so the next day I had a note said one more night. And then two days after Christmas, we had this portal door where he goes back to

the North Pole and he left a note and he left a present and I'm like, do I do another note or do I just wait and see if in a couple of weeks when all of the decorations are down, if it just kind of fades? Being a parent is so hard. Every little thing is like, is this gonna traumatize my child for the rest of our life? Or is this gonna be the most joyous occasion?

They're gonna look back and be like, I had the best childhood ever because of this moment. And it's all new stuff that like, we didn't have the elf on a shelf when we were kids. So it's not like I can be like, oh, well actually, you know, it brought me a lot of joy. So it's a good tradition. My nephews are hooked on that elf. Like I could not believe that they like I was like they would come in running like you're not going to believe where this elf is right now.

Yeah. And I was like, oh, OK. You tell kids that they can't touch something and that there's something magical happening. Like, of course, they're all obsessed with these elves. Yeah. It's wild to me though, but yeah, I mean, I don't know what you would do in that city. Cause I would, I mean, I'm a professional uncle. So to me, it's just like, give them whatever they want. So just have Christmas every day for the rest of the year.

I don't know. Leave the tree out. Just how Santa is, lives with you guys. I don't know. I will say though, there is something just so special about experiencing Christmas through a child's eyes. There's just that magic and innocence and they believe in stuff that's not real. But it's like, oh my God.

I mean, last year she was two and a half, almost three, and we definitely had a great Christmas with her. We didn't do the Elf on the Shelf though, but this year Christmas was just a whole other level. And even her seeing Santa a couple times, she saw him at Knott's Berry Farm. And then I was like, did you tell Santa we're gonna see him on Friday? And then she saw him again in Ojai.

Two of the reindeer were there. Like they're real reindeer at the Ojai Valley. So sweet. And yeah, it was just really amazing to experience a holiday through her eyes. But the elf thing, it's breaking my heart. She was crying and literally singing to the portal door, like, Elfie, come back.

I was like. Honestly, give her the elf back. No, I know. I was like, my mom saw her singing to it. No, I know. That's what I was like. My mom saw her singing to it and I'm like, mom, what do I do? I'm gonna cry. That's so sweet and sad. The portal door.

I just sent her through the portal. Can she just go visit the North Pole for like five minutes? Take her to Antarctica and tell her it's the North Pole. Right. So if she's sad, the next, but then I'm like, he's in Palm Springs. I guess I could just order another on Amazon. But. When do I have to start doing the elf thing?

Next year? No, no, no. No, I would say around three. Okay. Cameron was just excited this year to rip open all the paper. Totally. That was the thing. Yeah, he only cared about paper.

Yeah, the paper and then the boxes and then all the toys that were underneath. He was just tossing aside to get to the next thing he could tear open. His favorite Christmas present that wasn't even for him, Jason got a new set of golf balls and they come in like one box and then four boxes and then the balls are inside those boxes. He's been playing with those nonstop. He wants to just take them in and out of all the boxes. I'm like, okay, you got all of these toys.

I didn't buy him one toy though. Jason and I did not get him one single toy. I told everybody else not to get him anything. Grandparents, aunts and uncles, everybody sent stuff. Well, we did get him presents. I actually have them in my car, but it's clothes. Okay, that's good. Because I figure he has enough toys.

One, he grows so fast. These kids grow fast. What's up with that? My mom was like, when are you gonna give this gift to Janet? Because he's gonna grow out of it before I see her. You know what he loves that your mom got me, actually, is there's a mom and a baby stuffed animal pig

that she gave me like years ago and I've obviously just held on to them and he sleeps with a baby pig every night. Oh that's so cute. Actually I need to send a picture to your mom. Yeah for sure I love that. Okay we're gonna take a quick little break and then we're gonna get back into the mayor of a titty city. Okay, back. Okay, everyone, it is a new year.

And now that winter is here, one thing I'm getting back into is my laser hair removal. Anyone who has followed me along on the podcast or Instagram knows that I've been doing laser hair removal for many many years

now because it feels so good to not have to shave every day every other day. You know what I'm talking about. Ideal Image is North America's number one medical aesthetics provider. They lead the category by delivering affordable and effective face and body treatments through the industry's largest network of doctors and licensed professionals. They believe that loving ourselves as we become the best versions of ourselves is ideal. It is one of the things that just makes you feel like your most confident self. So I have done under my arms, my bikini, and my legs, and although it doesn't take the hair away forever, it makes the regrowth so much less. Like I only shave my legs now once a month,

which is incredible, especially in the summer seasons to not have to shave my legs every day. Oh my god. Laser hair removal treats the hair follicles right at the root to permanently reduce unwanted hair. Who wants hair under their arms? The bikini line? I mean, unless you're my girl Janet, you know, no one really wants hair down there. Laser hair removal saves time and money compared to a lifetime of shaving and waxing, trust me. And here I have an exclusive $100 off offer for our listeners. Get $100 off and your free consultation when you schedule at ideal.vip.shena. That's www.ideal.vip.shena. And we're back. So I have to know, are your trees still up?

Yes. Of course. This week they're going down though. I feel like you'd have to take them down within the first week of January. Oh my God, I hate these made up rules. And you're not supposed to put it up before Thanksgiving. It takes the magic out of it when it's up too long. Whose magic are you talking about?

My magic. Okay, well there you go. My house is gonna look so plain when we take everything down. I know, but they come on the 12th to remove all that. Who's they? The decorators I hired. Will you send them over to my house afterwards too? No, literally, I hired the best decorator and she did my tree, the kitchen, like all of the stuff.

The present on your front door thing is really cute. Brock did the outside. Oh, okay. Yeah, he did the outside, but my friend Ashley did the inside. It depends how much you want because she does all the shopping. What's the range? So anywhere between one and five thousand. Okay.

But you could do very minimal and have it be seven, eight hundred. Like summer's room was only a few hundred. You keep everything. So the next year it'll be cheaper if she uses the same stuff? Correct. Okay. Yeah.

Yeah, but we, yeah, we did more minimal with her because I still wanted to do some stuff on my own. Like I wanted summer to decorate our tree. And then my mom did the garland on the stairs. And if we had her do everything it would have been about 4,400 and that's just for the inside can't wait till I'm on season 10 I survived that long I mean it definitely some real season 10 money bullshit I hope love that $4,000 for decorations. You're like, I hope I make it 10 years on TV.

As if you can't just ask Jason for that. Right. Jason would never. He would soon rather. I don't even know. Just don't tell him how much it costs. Yeah. I'd be like, it's 400.

It's not even funny because I don't have access to any of Jason's stuff. We have completely separate. Yeah. That's how Brock and I are. I learned my lesson in the first marriage. Not knowing is really. Yep. Not knowing what other people are spending. We have separate Amazon accounts, too Like that is wild to me

So you both pay for prime yeah, that's dumb. Yeah, thank you I don't want him seeing everything I get and I don't want to see everything he gets What are you buying on Amazon? I do understand that part because around Christmas time Courtney and Justice are also on my Amazon account. And I meant to just buy them a Prime account each for Christmas because when we're ordering stuff for each other and then I'm checking the status of something, it's- Oh, good point.

So it is hard when the families share an account for that reason only. And if you're trying to hide things from your husband, hopefully Jason's not listening. The whole thing, well, it's not like I'm trying to hide things, but if I'm ordering, I don't know, certain stuff that I'm like, I spend maybe too much money on that he would be like, wait, how much you spend on this?

Like I don't want him to be selling that. You just want some things to be your things. And I order him lots of like presents and stuff on it. Yeah, that makes sense. I don't know. I think separate bathrooms, separate bank accounts are like two keys to happy marriage. Yeah. Well, your bathroom is big enough, you guys are fine.

But that's why we had to buy a house. Because the bathroom in our condo, compared to our house in San Diego, and even Palm Springs, the condo, it was not even a separate room. Like the bathroom, the actual toilet and shower, you could close the door. But then the sink was in our bedroom.

You know, it was like a separate area where it was like a little nook But when I would come home if it was like I went out for the night rocks in bed I would sometimes use the downstairs bathroom to take my makeup off and stuff because I have to turn the light on and that turns The light hotel set up. Yeah, yeah, like this thing is just sitting in the bedroom. No, I hated it I loved everything about that condo except our fucking bathroom. So I was like we have to buy a bigger house and that's why I have an obnoxious bathroom now, but Yeah, we do still have at least the separate closets. I have half of his but Anyway, okay. Wait, hold on. I wanted to ask you because I heard that one of your big Christmas

Presents from Santa husband was spoiled this year. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. My like- Okay, how did that happen? Was Jason upset? So, hey, Jason always, yeah, he was upset. He always does last minute Christmas shopping.

Like normally it's like the 20th, I can tell he's sweating a little bit. And he's like, wait, what did you say you want again? And he's like panicking, cause he's looking online. Yeah, that's Brock. Nothing's gonna arrive on time. He's like, shit. So this year he actually went to the mall early like early December got me luggage like my

luggage I've had for ten years and like the wheels just don't work that well anymore so I had said like I kind of need you know new luggage but I hadn't really thought much of it after that then I get a text I won't say the brand but from a nice luxury luggage place that's like, hi Janet, hope you're enjoying your new luggage. Like if you need anything, like here's our contact for the store. It's like two days before Christmas.

It was like the week of Christmas. And I'm like, that's weird. But I get a lot- You're like report junk, delete, spam. Well, my number is still associated with a lot of the people I used to work for when I was an assistant. So I get a lot of the people I used to work for when I was an assistant. So I get a lot of texts like this from similar brands that are like where I put my own contact

down instead of theirs for privacy. So I'll get a lot of texts of like, hey, you have a dentist appointment coming up. And I'm like, that must be for like this, like, yeah. And I'll forward a lot of these texts off to people I used to work for. So I was like, oh, I was like, who probably did that? Like, and then it occurred to me, like, wait, I've told Jason I need luggage. I was like, there's no way though he already did it.

So I kind of like, I was like, hey, I got a weird text today. And he was like, what? And he was so upset. He was like, I, he was like, all right, well, I guess you know, like what I got you. And he's like, but that's so annoying because when I went into the store, I added, he like made a profile for me at the place

so that if I need a repair or something for the luggage, I want it. Upon their encouragement. And they were like, there's no contact. It's just for the future. So for warranty and all this stuff. Yes, they were like, you won't have to come in, you know, without her, she could come in on her own

to get anything fixed or whatever. And so I was like, oh my God, I was like so excited, but he was so bummed. And I felt bad because he actually took the time and did everything early, did all the stuff that I always want him to do, and then they ruined it. So he called them and he's like,

I think I'm gonna return it. But he also had had everything monogrammed already. And the thing is that because it was huge packages, he left them at the store and he was gonna pick them up on the 23rd or something and keep them in his car so he was like they texted you that while the stuff is sitting behind them at the store so he was bummed but then he called them was like well I'm thinking about returning it and they really did not want him to return that purchase which I'm sure had a pretty big

commission for their sales girl so they ended up sending a bunch of free stuff which was nice which is why we're not saying their name. Louis Vuitton, no, can you imagine? No, so they sent me some nice inserts and stuff for the luggage and toiletry bags that are all monogrammed too. So I was like, that's fine. I'm pretty sure they sent him a Christmas present too.

Yeah, they sent him some stuff too. And here's your full new scent. They were like, please, please. Please don't trash us on Shinan. Yeah. But it was nice, And the luggage was gorgeous. It's gorgeous. And it's really great.

I'm excited for it. That's one thing I need to invest in. I just, I swear, I will drop 10 grand on a trip to Hawaii for the whole fam, but if I have to spend $500 on a new suitcase, oh no, no, no. Like I won't do it. I just get a new one on Amazon. When it breaks, it breaks.

You get a new one. My luggage doesn't match. It's exposure therapy. I tell myself for my own TV, you know? I'm like, it's fine. It doesn't match. But literally. Not exposure therapy because you have unmatching. I like things to match, you know? That's so funny.

But everyone has the bae's luggage. Is that even how you say it? Yeah, I think so. Yeah. I don't have that one. That's not the brand. Yeah. Yeah, that's not. Are you trying to find out what it is? Right, no, yeah But yeah, yeah. Yeah. Well, good for you and your exposure therapy a baggage claim. Yeah, exactly Okay, so I've been following this Christmas village journey

Instagram Jared so for those who don't know. Will you highlight it on your story so people can go look back, please? And we really need to know how long Titty City will remain on display. Yes. I think, so I have this like window that jets out of my apartment unit

and that's where my Christmas village, the La Max collection, who remains to leave me on red and will not respond to any of my Instagrams. It keeps tags on her. It's a nerve. Yeah. So I have to assume it's like an 85 year old running that account though. the La Max collection who remains to leave me on read and will not respond to any of my Instagrams. Oh, he keeps tabs on Nerve. Yeah. So... I have to assume it's like an 85-year-old running that account though.

Because they're audiences. I don't know if they posted in like 30 years or something. I'm like, how do you guys... Anyways, so I have this Christmas village in my window and it's got eight gorgeous pieces of land and proper... Wait, eight? Or seven pieces of land and property and stuff. So I want to keep it up until my birthday, which is March 27th.

So but it's a it's not just a Christmas village. It's a winter, a wintry holiday village. OK. There's a fishmonger shop. There's Bob Sausage shop. There's a candle shop, which famously has a candle instead of a chimney. There's the Elf Lodge, which obviously has a great buffet and wonderful places to stay. Aren't there two bars? There is. The elves get so annoyed because I have Schmidty's, the brewery, and then I also have the Eggnog Bar.

The Eggnog Bar only serves eggnog. So people are like... Not spiked eggnog. No, eggnog. Isn't eggnog spiked eggnog? No. Is eggnog eggs? Yeah, it's like...

Or is it nog? There is eggs in it. That's what makes it kind of sticky I need to pop into the eggnog Bar and find out exactly what's going on in there Everyone has to have some hobbies. You know what I mean? This has been so weirdly fulfilling It's like so I'm so neurotic like my neighbors must think I'm crazy I go out every morning and check and make sure everything's pristine

But you know, I've had a cut rough five years and I've got to, I missed out on a lot of holidays when I was sick and stuff. So for me, even though it's very goofy and I like lean into it hard, it is so fun to have like a very cheery holiday and it cheers me up. So I'm going to keep Titty City, which Janet named. We have to explain this. Well, first of all. OK. Yeah. Explain how you got started into it and like where the name came from.

So basically last year, I just got a couple, I got three buildings that were discounted. I was like, these are so pretty, I want to put them out for Christmas, whatever. Now it's become a whole lot. And then, and I was also like going through my hip recovery, so it was just kind of like feeling good. So then this year I was like, oh, I'm going, going big or going home. I love it. And then Janet decided to get me a couple of buildings for my, as Christmas presents.

Well, he had said he had, when he had his three buildings, he's like, I really, really want to be mayor. And I was like, well, nobody's stopping you. You can just name yourself mayor. He's like, no, the elves have to elect me. And he's like, you can't just be a mayor with three buildings. You have to have five to have a township to be the mayor. So I was like, oh my gosh.

So I know Jared's spending Christmas with us. It's like two or three days before Christmas. I had gotten him a couple other little things, but I was like, I got to get him the last two houses. So I'm like racing to Michael's. I'm like, not the Michael's that he goes to because he's already cleaned them out. I know of all the good stuff.

They're all gone. So, and I know which buildings he has. So I'm scouring Michael's. I find the sausage place and what other thing? Bob's sausage shop and the fish laundry. And the candle shop. And the candle shop, yeah. So I got him those.

And then I was like, okay, I need to get, this is again, two, three days before Christmas. I'm like, I have to get him like a sash or a crown or something that says like mayor or town mayor or something. Yeah. So I'm looking on Amazon. We'll ship that we'll get here on Christmas Eve. There were two items. One was an American flag hat that said mayor of Titty City. And then they had a pink version. I was like, the American flag one seems like a little, like... I don't know. Yeah, like not as like cutesy, but the pink one says, great, but I was like, but it still says Titty City.

I'm like, I think he'll think this is funny. So I got him this Titty City hat. And now Sparkle's Christmas Village has now been renamed Titty City. We can cut this entire segment, by the way. This is so not important. All the long story short is I had a psychotic break. It turned, decided to have a mini Christmas village,

and now I'm convinced that the elves are trying to unelect me. And he's like- I also asked him if I was like, well, I got you two building, so can I get like some sort of government role? And he's like, you can't buy your way in, Janet. I was like, oh, sorry.

But can I just say, shout out LaMax one more time. LaMax. Yeah. It really is great. Yeah, well, I love it. I'm glad that you have that hobby. Thank you. It's something to do.

And I say leave it up through March. Yeah. Fuck it. Let it be a winter wonderland all of winter. Until it warms up. All of a live long day. Maybe I'll go until July. Yeah.

Oh, fine. Let's do it. Christmas in July. Yeah. You know? I just gave him an idea. You guys talk, he's doing something over here. Did you guys when you were kids ever snoop at your Christmas presents?

One time and it ruined it. I felt so much guilt. Really? Yeah, cause we didn't have a Nintendo 64. And so we were like, me and my brother got up and we were like, let's just look at one of the smaller presents. And it was a Nintendo 64 game.

And we felt so guilty. We were like, we told on ourselves. We were like, we looked, we looked, we were, cause we just felt so much guilt cause we wanted one so bad. But that was the only time I learned my lesson. I like to be surprised. I think I looked for the stash of gifts often.

Like my mom had like in her closet, there was like a little storage, like a little door that had a storage thing in the attic and she would hide stuff there sometimes and then in the basement in another like crawlspace area so I would always like around December I think like look around those places but my mom was on to me so I never spoiled anything. Yeah your mom was on to you while you were in the master bedroom. Yeah. For the primary. My mom's still hardcore defense that she says that I didn't make her get out of that room,

that she gave it to me. Such bullshit. Were you a sneaky peeker? No, I think the only thing I remember growing up was waking up and just like going out to peek to see if there were more presents. Like, did Santa come? But then I would go back to bed.

Did your mom do the thing where like they, to sprawl out the presents to make them so big and like fill up the whole living room? We still do that. Yeah. Yeah, that's do no literally it was in Palm Springs I feel like now that I have this big new house It's just we've always done Christmas in Palm Springs Palm Springs Christmas that she knows now. I'm like I don't know if we should do one at our new house or if we just always keep it there because that is the tradition That's what summer's already grown up with but my living room there is much smaller. Yeah. And you know

we we do we like to buy a lot of gifts even when we just by we I mean me spend so much on a Christmas family vacation. I still want things for everyone to open up. Yeah. So I wait till last minute, I go to the mall, because then also if things don't fit her, things wanna be returned, you still have time. If you start shopping too early, then the window of time, all of that. But we had so many presents already out, my mom asked, she goes, can we leave the presents out,

or does Summer think Santa brings everything? I was like, no, she's gonna know some stuff comes from us. He doesn't get all the fucking credit, you know? Hell no. No, no, no. So we have so many that I was like, where is Santa's presence gonna go? Because all of the toys are from Santa, she said.

Santa only brings toys. And so we had to clear out the little, you know, her little crawling slide thing. That's now gone. And we just had all of Santa's presents go by the window. I've gotta say that I need to post a link to this. I'm gonna post a story. I did a time-lapse.

The best $25 we spent on Amazon is the house, it's a cardboard house that you build that I mean, like I can actually fit inside of it. Both of us can fit inside of it It's color, but you color it. Yeah Just markers. It's really cool. Her and ocean had so much fun. Just coloring I mean summer spent hours this past week Coloring this house and it was such a great activity for her and I to do together

My dad did some with her Brock did my mom and it's just cardboard $25 on Amazon Cardboard it looks like a coloring book on the outside like it's like black and white Yeah, it has like a reef and all of these things that you color gumdrops on the roof It's like a gingerbread house. That is so smart. Yeah, that's such a good idea. They also have cars They have like different ones, but that's cool. We got it. And so now that lives in my living room So it'll be Christmas there until the house is finished coloring and then I'll buy her the car one or something. But best 25 bucks.

And the elf can show up driving that car. This is just reminding me, because you were saying like, how do we separate like the Santa presents from like what we're getting her? I had two, I have two little girl cousins. And when they were young and still believed in Santa, we always would go to my grandma's house. My grandma and grandpa, my grandma would write Santa from Santa on everything. And sometimes we'd get us like one or two little things that would say grandma and grandpa, but for the most part it was Santa. And my little cousins, once they were

old enough to realize like that grandma and grandpa and then Santa are like, you know, separate, I guess after Christmas they were like, do Grandma and Grandpa not like us? Like, they didn't get us anything for Christmas. And my aunt was like debating, like, do I tell them that the 90 presents they just opened are actually from Grandma and Grandpa? Or, and it was like this whole debate on whether we tell them or not.

Yeah, so that's, and then there was this one thing that my mom bought her. It was a golf thing where when you hit the ball, it has like the Velcro on it, and it's like you get this many points, and then there's the holes that you can shoot it in. And I mean, she's good at golf and she enjoys it. But she was like, Santa got this for me.

My mom could not let her think that it was from Santa. She was, Summer, I got that for you. And she's like, I'm getting credit for this. And Summer was like, no, Nani, this is from Santa. And she's like, Summer, I bought that. I'm like, mom, just let her think it's from Santa. It's not that big of a deal. That's cute.

Yeah, but. You gotta get your credit sometimes. Yeah. Summer is a good little shot, or is that what it's called? She's got a good shot. Or a good aim or something, a good putt putt. Yeah. Form. I don't know.

She has good form. Golf swing, a good swing. When we were there, we went down to the greens, Brock and I and Lala and Osha and Summer grabbed a hold of that thing. And I was like, I was like afraid to go up against her at putt putt or something. Well, we also realized that she's lefty with golf.

So Brock bought her a left-handed. Is she right-handed at other times? Yeah, she writes with her right, she colors with her right. But he noticed the way that she was holding the club just seemed like she wasn't getting it. And then when he got her the left one, now it's like even better. Ambidextrous queen.

I know, right? I think there's an advantage to being a left-handed golfer. I think I've heard Jason say this, but that's the extent of my knowledge on the topic. No other follow-up on that fact. I think.'ve heard Jason say this, but that's the extent of my knowledge on the topic. No other follow up on that fact. I think. That's all. Okay, we're gonna take one more little break

and then I'll be right back. Isn't it great when you can get someone a gift they wouldn't necessarily get for themselves? Like a little bit of luxury that they don't know they're missing. For quality gifts at an affordable price, my go-to for the last two years has been Quince. Quince lets you treat your loved ones and yourself

to everyday luxury at an affordable price. There's something everyone needs in their closet, in my opinion. Quince's iconic Mongolian cashmere sweaters is exactly that. And they start at only $50. Or if you're looking for a more year round sort of gift, you can check out their 14 karat gold jewelry, Italian leather handbags, and European linen sheet sets,

whatever you're looking for. Quince has it. And all of their items are priced 50 to 80% less than similar brands. How do they do it, you might ask? Well, by partnering directly with top factories and cutting out the cost of the middleman, that passes the savings on to you.

Quince is on the nice list this holiday season. Santa said so. They only work with factories that use safe, ethical and responsible manufacturing practices. And they use premium fabrics and finishes for that luxury feel in every piece. Summer has the softest sweaters that I am so sad she's going to grow out of. We've got to pass them on and keep them in the family because they feel so amazing. She's so cozy every time she wears them and the cutest little matching sets that we got as well. So gift luxury this holiday season without the luxury price tag.

And we're back. So I know now most of my listeners know the origin story of how Janet infiltrated this friend group. Just kidding. Oh, my God. I forgot about that.

How she graced us with her presence all the way from Ohio. I feel like all roads lead back to Mondrian. You know, whether it's like, friendships being forged or iconic reality TV scenes. Like, didn't we see one season one of The Valley? The Mondrian? Was it Jax's hair? Jax's hair loss.

Yeah. Yeah. So, so many scenes. That dinner. Yeah, that's the dinner that everybody was like pushing and shoving and screaming in the hallway. Yeah. Yeah.

I think every season of Vanderpump Rules, we filmed at The Mondrian. I wonder if the new Vanderpump Rules is going to film at The Mondrian. If they're going to like film at the same places that we filmed at. Irian. I wonder if the new Vanderpump Rules is gonna film at the Mondrian. If they're gonna like film at the same places that we filmed at. I love it. It will be interesting to watch.

Every time I think about that dinner though. New stains all over the place. Yeah, I was just sitting there having contractions the whole time, because everybody was screaming at each other, but I didn't know what it was. I was like, oh my stomachs. Braxton Hicks or whatever.

My stomach's like hard as a rock. And I went to the doctor and she was like, uh yeah, don't do whatever you're doing. Yeah. I was like, well. Yeah. And I know just because you've been in this friend group for so long that I'm sure many of the listeners and fans

have followed you, like literally on Instagram, but I feel like people don't know your original connection to the group. So who was your first friend and how did you become a part of our group that we're so thankful you're a part of? Yeah, I mean, surprisingly, it was, well, I did touch-ups on all of you guys for the after show.

So that was like a little gig. I knew someone at NBC Universal. Yeah, I remember that. And so that's when I met you. And then I really connected with Brittany and we were just kind of like, she was newer to the show. And so she, I think getting her makeup done was kind of exciting. And like, we both are from the South and that kind of vibe.

So we just really hit it off. And I had, you know, this isn't one of those flexes of like, oh, I'd never seen the show. I was just like your guys' age working in a restaurant, working as a makeup artist, just like hustling in LA. So I didn't know much about it, but I was like, oh, I'd never seen the show. I was just like your guys' age working in a restaurant, working as a makeup artist, just like hustling in LA. So I didn't know much about it, but I was like, oh my gosh. And Brittany really was like the fun, like she'd just remind me of people who I went to college with and that kind of thing.

And so I told them, I was like, you guys know if you ever need makeup for anything, like just hit me up. And I think it was like the start of season six or whatever, so there was like, you guys were starting to go to like a lot of premieres. Like I remember I started to do like makeup for Stassi, Kristen and Brittany.

And I'm sure you went to, to like the nylon party. Like it was becoming more and more like iconic stuff. So I told Kristen and Brittany, I gave them my contact first and Kristen was the first one to hit me up. And I did her glam for some premier. And then from then on, it was just, I did a Brittany and Kristen for the premier party of season six. And then they were like, it was just, I did Britney and Kristen for the premiere party

of season six. And then they were like, oh, do you want to come? Do you want to have a drink party? And then the next thing you know, it's just like, oh, now I'm at Stassi and Ariana's birthday party. I did all their glam and now I'm partying with everyone. And you just vibe with certain people.

And then I started to work with Stassi really heavily and we clicked for a while and just, you know. And then, you know, it's a... is there a better word than incestuous? I can't think of one right now. But you know, it's just also interconnected. So it's like, oh, I'm friends with Stassi. So then I ended up doing Katie's makeup and then I end up, you know, hanging out with you and then Lala.

So that's pretty much that. But I would say Brittany and Kristen were kind of like the root of how I got into it. Yeah. Even if not everyone, you know, even if we don't all speak at right moments and times, things change, you know, the group ebbs and flows. But I feel really lucky too, because a lot of makeup artists get into gigs

and it's very work, work, work. And so I feel very lucky, you know, to have made some of my best, like truly best friends, probably like for the rest of my life through just like a chance encounter with makeup with some lipstick. I love that. And when did you two get close? A few years ago. Just only a couple of years ago. Yeah. It was one of those things. She kept inviting. She's very, Janet's very good at like inviting people to stuff. And I remember you invited me to a few like Dave and Buster's birthdays and just ran. Janet at Dave and Buster's birthday.

Yeah. So shocking. But I remember, I remember being like, she was just getting this invite, being like, hey, I'm having a party bus and like we're doing this and going today. And I was like, what in the hell? I was like, absolutely not. Under no circumstance am I doing that. And then I finally met Janet and then I was like, here we go, I love her. We were actually on some poll of like who was the most hungriest tiger or something in the Vanderpump universe.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's actually what. Wait, what? On Reddit, there was a poll. It was like who's most thirsty in the Vanderpump universe. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's actually what... Wait, what? On Reddit, there was a poll. Who's most thirsty in the thing. It was like me, Jared, and somebody else. And it was like two random people. It was like Heather McDonald and someone random.

And we were like, huh? Who, did I win? No, we lost. We lost, yeah, we were mad. Randomly, not skinny, but not fat one. It was a very, it was a very missed. Interesting. I was like, where are the actual like hanger oners?

I was like, I have to put a better list together. Yeah. I was like, I can actually work with these girls. Like, what are you guys talking about? There are so many literal leeches that you guys could be voting on. No, I know. But that really bonded us truly. We were like, oh my God,

we're both on the top four list of hanger ons. I love it. It was like right around when Jason and I got engaged that you and I were like really close. Cause I remember at our engagement party, that was like... Yeah, because I was kind of like, are you guys looking for a third? And it was just like one of those things.

(*LAUGHTER*) And we were, so no. So then that's how the throuple started with Jason. And now no one knows who Cameron's father is. (*LAUGHTER*) That is too funny. Wait, you mentioned that you were a server and I heard you received a bad Yelp review. Oh my God, you really did your recon.

Can you elaborate? So yes, when I moved to LA, I was like a lifelong, not lifelong, but like a career server in LA. You know how it goes. Yeah. So I worked in Venice. I was on the West side. So the Venice restaurants are bougie but casual so there's like this vibe where you kind of can be a dick but not in like Stuck up where you're just kind of like you're gonna have to wait your turn. This is Venice, baby. We're casual

Yeah, you're gonna pay what restaurant I worked at Serviteka, which is no longer open Venice Beach wines on Rose Which is an institution and then this one that we're about to talk about is superba. Okay, so I open superba very like, you know Blah blah blah fresh food this and that anyways, I'm what you call a hit or miss server people love me when I waited on Diana Ross She told me I was the greatest thing she's ever seen Wow, you're such a tall drink of water and then she said I was like, what can I get for you to eat? She goes ha I don't eat and I was like iconic Anyways, there can be people who come into restaurants like that expecting a certain level of whatever.

And so the Yelp review basically said, we love the beautiful establishment. We love the delicious food. We love everything about this. But our server, Jared, was so awful. We'll never return. And I was like... What did you do to them?

This is one of the things. I usually know everything. I usually know every single thing that happens. I truly think that they were just mad because I was probably like ignoring them because I did this game during busy brunches Where I'd be like hey someone take all of my tables because I'm gonna go outside and smoke a joint And so I think that's probably what happened was I was probably just not there. Uh-huh, but You know, like I said Diana Ross loved me. So it's like a real hit or miss. They hated me. They never came back. That's fine. I still got tips the other day.

Was that your first negative online comment about yourself? Are you joking? Oh, no. All my all my Yelp reviews were hit or miss or like that. Oh, okay. But I mean, like Yelp reviews, like, is this pre-social media? Like, was this like your first? The start of Instagram. Do you know, I didn't start getting bad, like, is this pre-social media? Like, was this like your first? This is at the start of Instagram. Do you know, I didn't start getting bad, like mean comments until I started doing makeup

for Vanderpump Reels. That was my first thing I posted. Bring on the trolls. I can't remember who I posted. I think it might've been a picture of Kristen, and it was a contentious time with the witches of WeHo. And I remember it was like the first time, and I just randomly posted,

and I think I just hashtagged like, Vanderpump rules or something. You know, I had like 2000 followers. And I remember people just being the first time, and I just randomly posted, and I think I just hashtagged Vanderpump rules or something. You know, I had like 2,000 followers. And I remember people just being like, fuck her. And I was like, and fuck you too for doing her makeup. And I'm like, oh my God. Yeah, so that was the beginning of it. I was like, oh, this is not normal.

So I was like, take me back to Yelp. I kind of love some of the hater comments now. Some of the stuff that I get in there, I'm like. Are there any that really stick out to you? There's a couple, but it's, you know what, something that I've like adopted a mentality of thinking is like, you know, you can walk out, like if you walk down a street in New York City,

you're gonna have a crazy stranger that screams like, bitch, at you down the street. Or like, you know, there's always like gonna be like, crazy people are just screaming into the abyss. And that's what I think of a lot of the people that are just saying stuff. It's just like, they just had to say something. So let them, but if I respected like somebody and they say something negative that, which has literally never happened. That would bother me. But when it's just people in my DMs being like, you're mean, I'm like, all right, yeah. You want me to

be mean to you? You want me to hit accept? Cause I've gone through your profile now and I have some words. I'm like, if you think I'm so mean, why are you coming for me? Because I will eat you up. I know you used to love Reddit. That was like your favorite platform

before being on a TV show. Do you avoid Reddit now or do you still look? No, I love Reddit still. I just have most of the Bravo stuff blocked. So I see some Housewives stuff every once in a while, or a couple big pieces of news, but I have anything related to Valley Vanderpump, my own name, I have blocked out

because I don't really want to see it. I will go down the rabbit hole if it pops up on my feed. So now most of my stuff is like UFOs and all other. Yeah, that's my Reddit too. I love pop culture chat. I don't have any Bravo stuff on my feed. So now like most of my stuff is like UFOs and like all other. Yeah, that's what I read it too. I love like pop culture chat. I don't have any bravo stuff on my reddit anymore. I don't know what happened but. And then once you start avoiding if you don't click on it then it kind of gets out of your algorithm anyway. So I don't you know I have read some stuff that I'm like holy shit this is crazy about you know me the show whatever but it doesn't serve me.

Sometimes it'll put me in a bad mood, so it's just not worth doing it. And I don't, you know, I feel grateful and fortunate enough that my everyday life is calm and happy and nice. So I'm like, I'm not trying to ruin my day just from seeing somebody screaming into the abyss, like, hey, we don't like Janet. I have this obsession with the concept of,

I mean, this is a little, not morbid, but like we have one life. This is, and the saying, this is what you're gonna do with your one life. You're gonna sit there, listen, I make this everything. It's gotta make them feel better. You know what I mean?

Like I take a nap a lot and that's what I choose to do with my one life. But could you imagine spending your time being like Janet from season one of The Valley, like, ah, like that's what you're doing with your one little life. This is it, baby. This is all you got.

I also get so many, I feel like in this position when you put your life out publicly, also we all tend to ignore the really nice comments and then sift through and find the one bad one. And I get so many nice stuff from so many great people too that I'm like, you know, I'm not going to just cross over these and forget that all of the nice people exist just so I can concentrate on the one person who wants to be mean to you today. Like there's so many, so many nice messages

from people that I'm like, and I make a point to respond to those. So, you know. Have you gotten any comments or feedback that you actually agreed with and you're like, oh, I need to work on that in myself? I think if you don't take some of it to heart, then you're delusional. So yeah, there's definitely stuff, there's stuff where people are like,

damn, she was so mean in this instance. And I'm like, oh my God, I was like, oh, that was, you know, like reflecting back on my pregnancy, I'm like, oh, she's so like this. I'm like, yeah, I was, you know, like reflecting back on my pregnancy. I'm like, oh, she's so like this. I'm like, yeah, I was, I was hormonal and bitchy and yeah, there you go. So yeah, there's absolute stuff. There's some stuff that's like, you know, I don't know. So you know what I saw like somewhat recently is people were like, Janet

only wears beige and it was this whole thing. So you know what I've been doing lately? Wearing beige, baby. I'm like, but it's, they're like, oh, beige just like her personality. And I'm like, yep. And I'm gonna keep doing it and see how long I can keep this little bit going.

All new wardrobe, season three. That's so crazy too, because it's like, who even notices that kind of stuff? I thought I wore a lot of black. And so to hear that I wear beige, I'm like, that's interesting. Cause I didn't realize, but yeah, I don't know. There's certain, but I'm like, okay, sure. I'm gonna wear more of black. And so to hear that I wear beige, I'm like, that's interesting. Cause I'm, I didn't realize, but yeah, I don't know. There's certain, but I'm like, okay, sure. I'm going to wear more of that and see what happens.

Yeah. This upsets the people. It's such an insult to beige. Right. I also think like in time, the truth truly always comes out. Like, and I just think with enough time, people will see things and certain people in a more truthful way. For who they are.

No, I think so too. I will say that with a lot of the negative comments that I've received over the many years, there are certain things where I'm like, you know what, actually you're right. And I'm gonna work on that. And it's like, yes, it can be living in the comment section at times,

but I also feel like I can't grow unless I change. And there are things that I don't like about myself that I've watched back on the show. And I'm like, well, thank you for pointing that out. I know you were being an asshole, but actually now I recognize that, and now I can do better. So thank you. Yeah, it's finding the balance. I'm sure because so many people the commenters obviously

The people who want to say the stuff that they want to say it leans negative But I'm sure in there, you know having that like you said the self-awareness to be like, oh, yeah noted Yeah, I was a little crazy during my pregnancy noted not gonna change Not gonna change anything about it. What are you gonna do? You know what's crazy is that with Kristen and Nia being as pregnant as they are, they most likely won't have to film pregnant. Lucky. They are so lucky. Oh, because of the... They'll have the babies before the season probably starts coming.

You know? If there's a season three, it will likely be in the summer, as, you know, the shows always are. And they'll have the babies by then. Because the due dates would be early summer, right? You know, filming pregnant is a very small exclusive club on Bravo. Yeah.

Like there's not very many. Teddy Mellencamp, I remember watching her season pregnant. Teresa. You guys? Yeah, because she gave birth on camera, I think. I don't think I watched the show the first couple seasons, and that's when she was pregnant, I guess, with her youngest. Because Bravo kind of has, like, the housewives are older.

All the Kardashians, obviously. But for, like, the Bravo people, like, it is like a small group because a lot of the housewives are out of kid age. So you don't see a ton of pregnancies. And so, honestly, Nia and Kristen are so lucky if they don't have to film pregnant because it is just, it's tough. It's a whole, you know, you really have to find, I struggled and I look back and realize

I didn't do the perfect job of it, but I really wanted to have boundaries that kept me feeling safe and healthy because I didn't know where that was. You know, I didn't know like, okay, if I okay, if I am up late or people are screaming and stuff, like how will this affect me? So I kind of like pushed back a lot of stuff. And there's some stuff now where I'm like, oh, I was being too crazy about that. Or I should have just let that go.

But at the time your sole focus is on the health of this baby and that's all you care about. And it's your first time ever being pregnant. I didn't know what being pregnant was like. And now I had a healthy delivery, baby, all of that. So totally worth it in my mind, whatever boundaries, even if it was too much at the time, it worked for me. So it's a kind of tough spot to be in where you're like,

what do I say no to? What do I push back on? What do I get mad at? And it's a tough thing when you're, it's not just, oh, I'm putting myself out there. You're like, I'm putting this baby also, potentially in harm's way in these situations. So you have to kind of find the right balance.

And did I do a perfect job of that? Absolutely not. But I don't have any regrets either. I don't think anybody does, you know? It's like, especially when it is your first pregnancy, no one knows what the fuck they're doing. And you have to listen to your body. And if you're starting to have contractions,

then you need to remove the people or things or whatever it is who are causing that. Dude, but that Braxton thing, what's it called, the Braxton Hicks? Like your stomach was rock hard. That was scary as fuck. Yeah, it was scary. Because for like 24 hours, for like 12 hours,

you did not know what was going on until your doctor got back to you. I mean, I almost went to the hospital that night because I was like, what do I do? Because you were only like, what? Like you were not even- I was seven months the hospital that night because I was like, what do I do? Because you were only like, what? Like you were not even... I was seven months pregnant.

Okay. Yeah. So that's... And now, you know, if you get pregnant again and have another baby, you know the things to look out for. But until you go through that, you have no idea. And not that it's like the exact same, but you were also filming a reality show for the first time ever in your life.

So it's like, basically it's like you started a new job while you were pregnant. Right. Yeah. Right. And it's not the least stressful job that you could imagine. Well, it can be a lot. But if Kristen and Nia both, timing-wise, it works out for them where they don't have to feel pregnant, they're lucky because it's a tough situation to be in. And I had friends of mine, friends, cast members who said, well, if you can't handle it, then quit. If you can't if you can't handle it, then quit. If you can't handle stress while you're pregnant, then quit. And I don't think that that's the right thing

because we should be able to share the reality of pregnancy, I think, on TV. Or else drop the word reality TV. And also give some grace to someone who's doing this full-time for the first time. You were my friend on Vanderpump. You never had these intense conversations and situations where the focus is on you. It was much different.

So although you understood the world from the side, being in it. It's totally different. As much as I thought I was prepared, I was like, I know what this, you know, how this works and whatever. It's different. Yeah, it's very different.

So I honestly like, there'll be lucky because pregnancy should be a time where you just Get to enjoy it and really soak up like other than you know a couple Bumps in the road with friends, you know that everybody saw on TV Other than those bumps my pregnancy was so great like I truly it was a time where I really like reflected a lot on what was important to me and You know thought about family a lot more than I ever have and it just it was such time where I really like reflected a lot on what was important to me and you know thought about

Family a lot more than I ever have and it just it was such a beautiful time other than like a few You know friendship, but other than that it was really great And so I wish that upon anybody who's pregnant is like to really be able to soak it in and enjoy the time Yeah, for sure. Well to wrap up the first episode of the new year, we've obviously got to do the Jax hole of the week. And although I said it wasn't always going to be Jax, this week it is. Oh no. Happy 2025. What did he do this week? Well, I don't know if you guys saw or listened yet because it just came out, but Laura Lee from season one of Vanderpump Rules was on the Vanderpump Rules party podcast. Oh, I did see clips of this. I have not yet.

She revealed that when they got caught having sex in the bathroom, that he had unlocked the door. Purposely? Purposely. Did they get caught on camera? Were cameras up? Apparently they were, but they weren't able to show that. But they did get caught. They had them like, I guess, like they heard something

going on. Rewind. So she said they, he unlocked the door purposely. They were hooking up in a bathroom. Yes. So he wanted to get caught. Yes. Yeah. He wanted to make Saucy jealous. He wanted to, like, whatever it was. Was he wearing a GoPro? Like, what in the hell? I know. But, like, to do... That is so... so skeezy. I know. I mean, shocking? No. It's Jaxx. But... Yeah. Well, I mean, definitely. But also, Laura Lee.

Haven't heard that name popped up. And maybe a day... I start to rewatch old pump rules like during the pandemic, and I didn't even know she existed until I watched season one. And then I think I remember something about We Are the Millers, which is streaming on Netflix right now, by the way, top ten. Bona garage.

Yeah. But yeah, I mean, Laura Lee, I guess, is on the podcast right now. Has anybody kept, have you talked to her since season one or did you keep up with her for a little while? I've seen her. I like ran into her in San Diego randomly years ago. I haven't talked to her recently. We don't follow each other or anything, but...

Do you know if anybody else keeps up with her? I don't think so. Like, no one I'm close with. I feel like I haven't seen her in anything. If anyone, it would probably be Kristen, honestly. Kristen keeps people from like back then around still. Like Carmen, I think she's still friends with. Wow.

How interesting. Yeah. Laura Lee, what a blast from the past. I wonder what she was like, oh, let me do this podcast. I don't know, but... Yeah. That's like such a blast. I feel like though with the show rebooting or whatever,

you know, you want to call it ending, that it's kind of dredged up a lot of like memories for people and people are being kind of nostalgic about like early seasons and stuff. So I feel like I have seen like memes and things or like TikToks of people being like, where's Laura Lee when we need an opinion on this? Or like, we need her to like come, you know,

clear the air on this. So I think that's probably like, there was like little hints of people being like, we need her opinion. So I bet the Vanderpump Party people jumped on that or found her. Yeah. And I saw on her Instagram bio, she has hashtag VPR, hashtag Vanderpump Bulls

in her bio. Is she active on Insta? Like, did she have recent posts, like, within the last 10 years? Yeah, I think so. Like, December. Oh. I kind of assume she just kind of was like, you know, I went and did We Are the Millers. It didn't work out. Like, and then just kind of...

The client list. She was a regular on that. Oh, yeah. She did that. So I figured she just kind of became a, you know, a character actor, maybe worked, met a husband and just kind of into the ether. I think she works in animation now. Oh my god, yeah. She had something, it was like something with stripper dinosaurs called like, Jur-asses. No, I, yes. What? Yes, I googled this when you, when.

Did you say Jur-asses? Jur-asses. Wait, that's like when, that's like when porns like take like very innocent movie subjects and titles. Jurassic Park, Jur-asses Park. And they like add like tits or ass into like the yeah of Jurassic Park here Porno, I don't know. I haven't seen it. I just I saw that I know what I'm doing later. Yeah

Wow, what a creative mind. Yeah, I know how interesting. Yeah good for her Huh? That's kind of fascinating if she just popped up But yeah, and also and she said that she asked Peter out on a date and he turned her down. Wow. Like, recently or... No, like back then when she worked at Sir. Oh, she has so many memories from back then. Yeah. Wow. Good for her, I guess.

So, go give it a listen if you guys want to know more. Do you keep in touch with Peter? Yeah. Yeah, I keep in touch with him. She just has to walk into Sir and she can say hey anytime. Yeah. Well, yeah, I guess Jax is a Jshole. All right rain rain is wet. Yeah That people doing it in that bathroom is really gross. It's like a broom closet You did it in there
