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 Hello everybody, welcome back to shenanigans where we are having a friends giving, gals giving episode this week. We might not have, you know, all of the fixings here at the table, but we do have some of my favorites. So thank you for joining me today, Lala, Jared and Janet.

You're welcome. How are we doing? I had to cancel a lot of shit to be here. I know. Well, I left my sick kid for you last week, so we're even. I know. No, I'm very excited to be here. Thank you for having us. Yes, of course. No, I wanted to get my faves together, talk some hot topics, dish on some shit. There's obviously been a lot in the news this week in the Vanderpump Rules world. Don't worry, we're going to get to all of that, but we're not gonna jump in just yet, because right now I wanna ask, how are we doing? How was everyone's weekend? And because it's my podcast, I'd like to talk about me too.

So, I love that. I wanna talk about you as well. Me too, I love talking to Rochina. I had a great weekend, I've had a great week. What about you guys? I decked the halls, I'm getting in the holiday spirit, so I'm doing good, yeah. Did you watch a Christmas movie while you decked the halls?

Yeah, some Hallmark ones. I love those. The formula is so good. You know, girl from the city comes to the small town, reconnects with her high school sweetheart. They build a snowman, and then the Christmas tree gets lit, and they get married. I love it.

Did you see that they're doing a movie, and it's going to have Jenna from the Today Show, Jenna Bush, I forget her last name, and it features like the Kansas City Chiefs. Oh my God. They filmed on the field and stuff. And Andy Leigh is in it. And Travis Kelsey's mom. Oh. Wow.

Yeah. Yeah, so anyways, that was me. Yeah. We traveled last week and actually, my son Cameron was an angel. I don't mean to brag, because I know this is probably a sore subject for a lot of parents,

but he was such an angel on our six hour flight from New York home that like five different people stopped us and were like, he's perfect. Yeah. It was unbelievable. We know he's always been like that. Yeah, well he was a nightmare on the final flight, but that one he was good.

You deserve that. You deserve that. You deserve that because if you're gonna have a second kid, I feel like it's unfair for the first one to be such a dream because it's not common. So you need like a little taste of how bad it can get. It's... I made Janet hold my bump a lot during my pregnancy with Sosa so that she could send me Cameron vibes.

Which I think I gave you. I gave you. She just really freaking worked. Easy and happy and chill. She's chilling, man. Yeah. I love it. No, you're so lucky you got a good one. What have you been up to, Sheena?

So I was in New York as well this weekend. First time the kids were in New York. I think I shot myself in the foot because now I'm gonna have to lie to Summer anytime I go on a work trip to New York cuz she's gonna want to come back Loved it she went ice skating at Rockefeller. Oh cute. Yeah, I haven't seen those days They have the tree up and everything with scaffolding all around it. So it was kind of an eyesore But you get the point we were able to get well not I'm when I say we they

Were able to get on the rink in like eight minutes. They're like, oh, okay. Well the next time slots in eight minutes. So it was nice. Whereas if the tree was lit, I don't feel like it would have been that way. No, there would have been such a long wait and she was so tired. So it worked out. I love that. I will take convenience in exchange for a night. Yeah, give me the ice or if you can get one. Totally. Shorter lines. I don't like people, I don't like waiting.

Yeah. This might be a dumb question, but can she ice skate on her own? So they have these adorable little things, I'll post a video. Oh, the scooters. That you hang on to. It was a little penguin.

Of course, it's a fucking penguin. Of course. Like, mommy adopted one of these ones. So she had the penguin and then after a couple rounds she's like, I don't want this anymore, I've got it. And Brock was like, well, no you don't, like I'm gonna hold on to you. So then, I mean, poor guy, his back was like killing him after, because he's just hunched over the whole time with her.

And then this woman comes up and she's like, do you not know how to ice skate? And I'm like, I'm here to capture the content. And like, I would be like a giraffe out there. I could not hold a toddler on ice skates. I do not have the core strength for that. So no, I'm just gonna stand on the sides. Like anyone who thinks that like,

yeah, let's strap some blades to our feet and just like have a hay day. Fuck no. Yeah. Yeah, who can't believe that? Extremely dangerous. Yeah. Yeah. but she had so much fun with that. We took her to see Aladdin on Broadway How did she do in that she? Had kind of adjusted to the East Coast time, but then also was still on LA time

So it was a little tricky because the show was at eight which you know should feel like five But it felt like eight for her. Yeah, so it was a bit of a struggle, but then at intermission she ran around for a bit And I was like we'll just go after we see a whole new world. She's like I want to see that I'm like they fly on the carpet so then after that she was like and I'm done. I was like okay She's like I've seen this movie before I'm good Engaged like we were like getting some videos, and then I was like, okay, make sure the flash is off, you know? But she was sitting up in her seat, and she was clapping. It was fricking adorable.

We were just talking about going to Wicked, the live show of Wicked, and I was asking Wala, like, if Ocean was ready to see a, you know, like, a live show. But it seems like the little girls are ready to go. You said it was at, it's going to be at Pantages? I've seen it there before. I think she'll do great. Honestly, we took the kids to see, were you there Sheesh, the Grinch?

Yeah, remember in summer, just all of a sudden projectile vomited out of nowhere. No, Brock, when we got to Aladdin, he got a bag because he was like, what if it was the lights or something that triggered it? And I was like, is she epileptic? Like I was freaking out because all of a sudden all of these lights flashed and she just bleh. Like all over. And then I had to move, I wanted to help, but I was like, I'm gonna throw up.

So I have to get the fuck out of this row. It's gross. It was just a coincidence. I feel like it was like a norovirus or something. Cause then she threw up again on the way home again that night in her bed. Like it had to just be a coincidence that we were at a show. it had to just be a coincidence

that we were at a show. What do you do when a kid throws up? You call your mom. You call your mom. Oh, yeah, good, good, good. Immediately. Good, good. I'm like, I don't think I could do that.

Yeah. Your kid yells for you, their mom, and you yell for your own mom. Yes. Good. I know, I was like, what do we do? And it was all over Brock. It was a whole thing.

Rather Brock than you though. Oh, totally. Do you think you should give like a trigger warning before we talk about all this? Yeah, anyway. What do we do? What do we do? What do we do? What do we do? What do we do? What do we do? What do we do? What do we do? What do we do? What do we do? What do we do? What do we do?

What do we do? What do we do? What do we do? What do we do? What do we do? What do we do? What do we do? What do we do?

What do we do? What do we do? What do we do? What do we do? What do we do? What do we do? What do we do? What do we do?

What do we do? What do we do? What do we do? What do we do? What do we do? What do we do? What do we do? Some random man named Dan. Still recapping my New York. He owns the bar? He owns the bar, yeah. I don't know if it's other people too, but yeah, I hadn't seen Brad in a while, and so met up with him, did a little catch up, grabbed some drinks, the drinks were really good. Wow. Yeah, it was really cute.

Do they serve food too? They do, they weren't then, because it was kind of late when we met up, it was like after the Broadway show, after I put Summer down, I went with my cousin, and we met up with Brad and some friends. But yeah, it was a good New York trip. Did you see Dan?

I didn't. He wasn't there. I texted him though. Okay. And then he was like, oh, you should have let me know I would have had them take care of you. And I was like, I'm just here to support. It was great. I love that.

Yeah. What kind of drink did you get? I got a gin, cucumber, mint, something or another. Oh my God. It was fantastic. Tis the motherfucking season. Yes. Yeah. Nothing like sipping on something that tastes like or something or another. It was fantastic. Tis the motherfucking season. Nothing like sipping on something

that tastes like a pine tree. Yeah, Christmas. No, it was. What area of New York is this bar? It's in Tribeca. Oh, nice. Yeah, it was a really cute spot. I'm excited.

We were only in the city when we went for six hours, I think. We were mostly on Long Island, but I want to see it. How was Long Island? My cousin lives on Long Island. I am so fascinated by that Long Island. I didn't think it was a real place until Jason was like, oh, I'm from there. And I was like, are you sure?

You're like, only the people from Jersey Shore from Long Island. It actually reminds me of Ohio. It's like very suburban and chill. So we don't need to go. Just kidding. I'm just kidding. We had some good sandwiches. I love making fun me of Ohio. It's like very suburban and chill. So we don't need to go. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. We have some good sandwiches.

I love making fun of her. I always tell Jason, I say, they have a great ice teas there, you know? Yeah. When we left JFK, Brock thought it would be fun to get on the train and do the subway and just go into the city that way. And I was like, yeah, Summer would love that.

He's like, all right, we have to get on the LIRR. And I was like, yeah, Summer would love that. He's like, all right, we have to get on the LIRR. And I was like, okay, so the Long Island railroad, whatever. Yeah. Both ours for the railroad. I thought it was like railroad, whatever. Anyway, I was like, okay, so this is what we're getting on. So we get on that LIRR and we're sitting down and the woman comes up and she was like,

oh, can I have your tickets? And Brock shows her and she was, yeah, you're on the wrong train. We're like, how long is this up and she was like, oh can I have your tickets and Brock shows her and she was Yeah, you're on the wrong train We're like, how long is this train? She's like 20 minutes and you have to like wait 20 minutes and then go 20 minutes back and then wait another it was So now we're like an hour and a half into the trip and we're back in Jamaica Like where we started and we have to get on it was like an air train to a train to a sub But it was it sounds like my worst three and a half, to a subway, it was- It sounds like my worst nightmare.

Three and a half hours, y'all, by the time we landed at JFK and got to our hotel, that was basically how long it took us to fly there. Oh my God. I had to message my team and let them know to be on the alert for any blind items because of the amount of public fighting that happened between us. You're just screaming at them in the middle of the amount of public fighting that happened between us.

You're just screaming at him in the middle of the subway? I was like, if there is not a blind item about Brock and Sheena's parenting or fighting in public, I will be shocked. There was nothing. I am shocked. There was one point where he was just like yelling about, like, well, I didn't take that.

I was like, shh, stop it. There's people. And he's like, I don't care. And I was like, shh, stop it. There's people and he's like, I don't care. And I was like, oh my God, like, Brock, we've since had to talk about it. I'm like, honey, you gotta keep your cool when we're in public. It's not okay. First of all, no one wants to hear other people fighting.

I don't ever like arguing in front of Summer. Don't do it in public. Just bite your tongue, swallow your pride. Scream at me when we get home. When we're in the hotel room, you know? Fight with me in private. Traveling brings out the crazy in everyone though. Right.

So at least, you know, that's- It certainly does. You know, it was like, at that point, Summer, he just like, after the first fight, he put in his AirPods and he's just like watching something while we're on the train. And Summer's like, I'm hungry. And I give her every snack I have.

You know, we're on the fucking subway. It's not like there's a snack bar. Right. I'm like rock you and I was like she's tired. She's hungry She needs a proper meal. She's been traveling all day. He's like she's fine. She's not hungry. She's like daddy. I'm hungry Anyone checked on summer moon Make it worse right when we get to the hotel, my cousin meets us there and I was like, somewhere's like, there's this really cool restaurant on the rooftop, you can see the whole city.

We get up there at 6.20, children aren't allowed after 6 p.m. Oh my God. Hell no. This is like a patience tester. Totally. So then we go to the Ivy restaurant, we're staying at Royalton Park Avenue,

it's my favorite hotel to stay in. The rooms are massive. The food on the rooftop is so good. Just get there before six if you have a kid. And we're all Royalton Park Avenue. We stayed there for BravoCon 2019. It used to be the Gans aboard, I think. But it's like 29th and Park. Yes, I know. Not like the meatpacking district. Yeah. Got it. So we go to to this restaurant the Ivy that I just opened up It was closed for a private party and I see there's only a couple tables seated So we go to the hostess and I was like, hi, can we get a table for four?

She was like, I'm sorry. We're fully booked. Did she say it like that? I'm I gotta keep my cool because I stay at the Royals and every time and I don't need them being like sheena Shay is such a bitch. But I just was like, are you? I was like, room service is gonna take so long. And I'm like saying this like to my cousin, not yelling at the hostess, but I'm like tears in my eyes. I'm like, she's tired.

She's hungry and the hostess goes, I'm sorry miss, let me see what we can do. I'm like, thank you. Oh. You're like, do you know who I am? I'm Sheena motherfucking Shay. I would never, I would never. So she gets us a table. There are two other tables sat. I'm like, do you know who I am? I'm Sheena motherfucking Shea. I would never, I would never. So she gets us a table.

There are two other tables sat. I'm like, what the fuck? Do you mean you're fully booked? Like the server. That is the worst. No, but they were so attentive. They got Summer's food order right away. She got her noodles.

She was so happy. And then I realized they were starting to get busy. I'm like, all right guys, we gotta wrap it up because they didn't eat the table. But- You should know that Sheena. You know? You've worked at a restaurant for many years. But that was our first night.

I was just like, it was a lot. It sounds like a lot and my worst nightmare. After the rest of the night, the rest of the weekend, I navigated the subway because when we were going to Broadway, Brock goes, okay, so we need to get on the train downtown to Coney Island. I go, no, sir, we do not. We are going uptown. No, sir. And he goes, OK, so we need to get on the train downtown to Coney Island. I go, no, sir, we do not. We are going uptown. No, sir.

And he goes, no, it says. I go, Brock, I don't have time to argue with you. Get on the wrong train and prove that I'm right. Again, we're going to the show. We're going uptown. We are on 29th. We're getting on the train at 28th and going to 42nd up. And he was like, OK, so let me get down to the train. There's like the L, the W, the R, the N, whatever.

And he's like, well, I think we can get on the N. And I go, it says the N goes to the Astoria shops. And I have a feeling that maybe on the weekends, it's just a straight shot and it skips over 42nd. So like, we're just gonna get on the, think it was the R the W whatever to 42nd We're gonna go this way because this is the way to go and so he agreed and I'm getting so turned on by your ability to take Yeah, I'm like and I just really the ability to have a train and I feel so safe How'd you get on there in your presence right now that you took charge because I'm like a

worthless human being in the real I would never like figure out a train. All right? Good for you. I would never be able to figure out a train. No, can I tell you? Please. I have never, the last time I went to New York, I usually have a handler, right? Someone that I employ.

A paid babysitter. Exactly. For adults. So I brought on a new team member to the Lala Kent, the pod. I get to the fucking airport and I'm telling, I'm asking the driver because again, I'm fucking worthless. And I was like, you gotta drop me right where I check in

because I don't know where I am. And he was like, oh, we're meeting someone here that's gonna grab you. I had a fucking airport handler meet me on the curb. I was like, I haven't checked in. They're like, we've got your ticket here. They walk me through, they meet a security guard, they walk me right through security.

I'm like, why the fuck have I put someone on payroll to do this shit for me? Like, this just like appeared for me. And the fact that you were capable of doing what you just did, bitch, I am proud and you can be my handler anytime. Thank you. I have been your handler before.

Whenever we're someone, I'm like, don't worry, I'll handle you. I have been your handler before whenever we're someone like don't worry I'll handle it even in our parents group chat for school I will respond for her because it gives her too much anxiety I was like Sheena the group chat is making me have all the anxiety in the world. She goes don't worry I'll let you know it goes on and I'll answer for you put it on do not disturb. I got you There was a time filming Vanderpump rules I think it was like maybe season five or six, and we'd get to the airport,

and I'm asking one of the producers who's like filming me, I'm like, can you please help me check in? And they're like, no, we'll film you trying to check in, because that's fucking awesome. And I was like, so what? My lala misses the flight. The way you just described the airport is what they used to do for my 90 year old grandparents

when they checked in. That is fact. I always say, I am a 90 year old. From like me traveling to my large printed word search. These 5pm dinners are starting to make more sense. Totally. Okay, we're gonna take a quick little break and then we'll be right back.

So are you guys all going to be together just without me?

Probably. I think so. Your worst fear. I mean, I do have the option to stay in LA, but I already, it's just Palm Springs. Yeah, I know. I'm really bummed about it. My cousins are coming. Well, you have so much family in California,

so it's hard to sneak away from them to do a Friendsgiving probably. So whose house are we doing? Tell me, so I have some on now. We're all doing separate technically. And then we just said we would see each other afterwards. I'm cooking for eight people, my aunt and uncle, Sammy and Mel. We have like a nice little...

I feel like eight's a good number to cook for. It's like everything will get eaten, but I'm not too stressed. Like 12 is too many, I think. And six is in your house. You always do like 40 people things. I don't know how. I always do like 40 people things. I don't know how, I'm too much of a crazy.

This will be our smallest one that we've done in probably a decade. And how many? It's just my mom, my dad, Brock, myself, my sister, my two cousins, and Bianca was supposed to come and now I think she has to work. Oh, so that's a very small group. So it's so small.

If my cousins weren't coming. It was just immediate family and Bianca. Wow. Yeah. I definitely next year, the reason we're staying in LA cause we usually spend Thanksgiving and Christmas in the desert, but we leave on Saturday for Hawaii.

So it's just like, I just want that like one day of packing if we forget any, I just don't want the of packing if we forget any. I just don't want the pressure of getting, you are great with pressure, Sheesh. She's the type that lands back in New, or lands from New York and goes to the Chargers football game.

Straight there. Insanity. Did you want to take a nap, girl? You have a better battery than most people. I do. I know. My mom will say to Erica, because our moms are thick, well, and your mom too.

And your mom, oh my God! All our moms are best friends., and your mom too. And your mom. Oh my god! All our moms are best friends. The stakes are so high in this group. We've got the moms involved. But my mom will say to Erica, like, I don't know how Sheena does it. And your mom will go, she doesn't do drugs. And my mom's like, I know. I know she doesn't.

That's how she does it all. She's just straight up. That is so funny. And I don't even drink coffee anymore. Like this is just tea. No, it's just in your nature. Can I tell you who's going to be like you is my daughter Ocean? Yeah. She's a fucking goer and I'm exhausted by the end. I'm like, I've literally run you into the ground.

Why are you still fucking away? At that point it's like, get in my fucking bed. Get in my fucking bed. I don't care. I want to watch Seinfeld with you, Mom. I'm like, oh, my fucking bed. Get in my fucking bed. I don't care. I wanna watch Seinfeld with you, mom. I'm like, oh, you're even willing to watch my television? Uh-oh. That's cute. Doesn't understand what's going on.

She's like, I wanna watch it. That is so cute. And I let her. Yeah. She's like my friend. I'm like, huh, did you hear what they said? I'm like, honey. I love it when Summer will start laughing,

when like the adults are laughing at a joke and she just chimes in, and I'm like, you don't even know what you're laughing at. That's so cute. It's the cutest thing, and she has my little cackle. Yeah, and she's supposed to be a part of it. You have the best cackle. I love them.

I love it. So do we have any, because this is a Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving, Galsgiving, whatever you want to call it, giving episode, do we have any traditions that we do? Ooh. That's a good question. I feel like I'm still trying. Who's cooking for you, because y'all don't cook.

Is Landon cooking? Landon, right? Landon is making the turkey. And then my mom makes the most fantastic sweet potatoes. She does. That was so good last year. Yeah, they're so good. Five star.

And then we'll all just pitch in. I mean, the last time I participated in cooking, I made a carrot dish that literally it took me all day to make. And I took so much pride in it. My mom's like, you've been stirring the carrots for a while. I'm like, I'm so proud of you. I'm like, I'm so proud of you. I'm like, I'm so proud of you.

I'm like, I'm so proud of you. I'm like, I'm so proud of you. I'm like, I'm so proud of you. I'm like, I'm so proud of you. I'm like, I'm so proud of you. I'm like, I'm so proud of you. I'm like carrot dish that literally it took me all day to make. And I took so much pride in it. My mom's like, you've been stirring the carrots for a while. I'm like, I'm so terrified that they're not going to be good. So I'm trying to like start new traditions because I'm used to like, it's just weird. It's weird to have traditions when one kid you have to share. Sosa's a newcomer.

We'll see if we're going to keep her. Just kidding. I'll take her if you don't want. Sosa's a newcomer. We'll see if we're gonna keep her, just kidding. I'll take her if you don't want her. She's so freaking cute. No, if anyone's staying, it's Sosa. I'll punt the rest of them. But I'm trying to develop new traditions. One of them I feel is going to Palm Springs now.

So it lasted a couple years. We're already breaking it. But it's okay because we're meeting up in Hawaii. So that will make up for Thanksgiving in Palm Springs, then we'll have Christmas together. Love it. We'll all be together for Christmas, right? Yeah. Yeah.

I think so. I mean, we'll all be in a car. Does it sound very convincing? Are you gonna be in Palm Springs or in the desert? In the desert. All of us. I thought we started that three years ago. I could do a desert.

I let you off last year because you just had a baby. Fair. Yeah, okay. I could do the desert. I think you told me you were pregnant during Christmas. Yeah. In the dungeon. Yeah, I did.

I did. I remember in Sheena's kitchen. And that's when I think we found out you were pregnant. We did, yeah. Last year was Christmas. Good pregnancy vibes at your house. It is. Yeah.

Also, you know what's good at my house in Palm Springs? Espresso martinis. Because last year for Christmas, Santa brought me an espresso machine. So I feel like that's kind of a new tradition that you're gonna, well, not you obviously, but. I can drink just the espresso. You can have everything else.

Do you do vodka or rum or? Tequila. Yeah, the tequila. Yeah, that was the chilies one. I didn't know people did tequila. I feel like vodka is the normal. Well, vodka is what I preferred during my days. And the same, vodka's always been my go-to.

So last year, when I got the espresso machine on Christmas, obviously the stores like aren't open. And I was like, well, shoot, what do I have in my cabinets that I can make espresso martinis with? So thankfully I'm always stocked with Smirnoff number 21 vodka as you guys have seen just yes Everywhere love it. So then I was like, okay, we've got vodka. We've got espresso I had a bottle of like coffee liqueur that maybe had like this much in it

That's all you don't know how many years ago it was from, threw that in, and not gonna lie, it was pretty good. So I feel like this is, you know, my new thing at the holidays. Don't ask me to do the math on this, cause you know, girl math, but it's like, since Thanksgiving is basically the kickoff of the holiday season, then it's like, we may as well just start drinking them for Thanksgiving now. Like, we don't have to wait till actual Thanksgiving, right? Oh, obviously. A little colder out. Yeah.

I'm doing this Thursday night game day with them again next week, which will be so fun. Oh, awesome. And we just have this huge supply of Smirnoff number 21 vodka in both of my houses. So for all of you listening and watching, you know, shake that up with some espresso, some coffee, liquor, maybe a little simple syrup, get it a bit frothy into a martini glass. Couple little espresso beans on top. And, you know, you might be craving that more than the mac and cheese on the side of your turkey.

So just want to point out while I am talking about alcohol that Smirnoff number 21 Vodka is distilled from grain, 40% ABV. The Smirnoff company is located in New York, New York. Remember, simp responsibly and don't share with people under 21. Andy Cohen always tells us that, you know, when you're doing the drinking game,

watch what happens live, drink responsibly, take it from me and Andy Cohen. Another Thanksgiving tradition I feel like is the wishbone. You know, did you ever do that as a kid? And if so, what would your Thanksgiving wish be? Like as a kid? Huh.

I always did it, my grandma always saved the wishbones, but I feel like you have to dry them out. So we would use, she would always have them in the cupboard. We would do last years, we would break last years. And then she would save, because it's like moist when it comes out, sorry to use that word. I hate that word. It felt icky coming out.

It's soft, it's soft. But we always did it, I think my grandma always let me win, but I forget what I used to wish for. Yeah, I don't think we ever did that, actually. Yeah, I don't think so either. Our traditions were so simple. It was like, okay, we're gonna have a, you know, a little fruit plate in the morning, watch the Macy's Day Parade.

Like, I know it's such a cliche, but that's... To me, that's like kicks off the holiday season. You know, when I see Santa, I'm like, ooh, we're almost there. You watched that? I never have. I've never watched it. Actually, can I tell you, my brother pointed out something. I see Santa, I'm like, oh, we're almost there. You watch that? Yes. I never have. I've never watched it. Actually, can I tell you, my brother pointed out something.

I was like, I've never watched the parade because it starts so freaking early, right? But then they replay it and then it just like- Plays all day. Plays all day. No, we don't watch that. I feel like it's on in the background, but we have football on normally. We watch sports. There's basketball.

I mean, sports as well. Well, yeah, they put on sports eventually. I technically do watch the Macy's Day Parade often because it's on Seinfeld. Oh, yeah. And also we watch Christmas Vacation every year, and the old people are passed out watching that. So technically I do watch it.

A movie at night is our tradition, I think. It usually is National Lampoons. No, I mean, we'll go to the theater or, you know, just stay at home. I love that. But National Lampoons. I mean, we'll go to the theater or just stay at home. I love that. But National Lampoons is like the, kicks off the spirit. Yeah. Dispressive Martini, National Lampoon's vacation.

No, totally. But yeah, I've always watched the parade. And I feel like for Ariana too, growing up watching the parade to now be performing in the parade, she's on the peacock flow. Okay, that's what I was gonna say, NBC, that's so awesome. Yeah, so I'm like, dang, to watch was gonna say, NBC or, that's so awesome.

Yeah, so I'm like dang, to like watch that as a kid and then you're just in it. Is she singing or what is she doing? Yeah, she, I don't know, well, I guess this is airing after that airs, right, so I can say. So she's on the peacock float with like a bunch of islanders around her. She's singing Cranberry's Love Fool.

Wow, oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Yeah, I love that song. I know, so that's really fucking cool. I don't think I know that. Yeah, you do. Love me, love me. Say that you love me. Oh, god. I love that song. I know. So that's really fucking cool. I don't think I know that. Love me. Love me. Say that you love me. Oh that is so cute. Yeah. I like that. Did we know if the Islanders have a good voice? They might just be dancing or something. I think she's singing. Okay. I don't think they cast Islanders based on their voices. Let's not like make fools of people. Let's like please give them.

I assume she'll be singing and they'll just be like. I think so too. They're just like on the flow. Yeah. That's very cute. No, totally. And in the true spirit of Thanksgiving, what are we thankful for? Health and happiness always.

Like something serious? Whatever. No, it can be anything. And that I've lost eight pounds recently. Yes, girl. That's for you, baby. During the holiday season, that's hard. It's been really fucking hard, let me tell you.

I just basically don't eat anything and go to Plottie's all the time and it is just barely getting shaved off. You have to electrocute yourself, that's what I did. I know, I need to start electrocuting myself. Oh, yeah. EMS. Yes, I heard that's great.

Until you get actually electrocuted and think you're gonna die and then you're like, never again. Also, isn't it expensive to electrocute yourself and I'm not cool enough to get it for free yet. So that's why I've been not doing it. I've been doing it the old fashioned way, which sucks. I'll join you in Pilates.

That sounds amazing. It's the best. Yeah, I'm on the rest too. It's the best. I'd be down for that too. I go to Avenir Pilates and they're the best and so positive. They're like, do this.

And if you feel like doing more, you can. And if not, just do what you're doing. And I'm like, thanks, I'm just gonna do what I'm doing, but thanks for making me feel okay about it. What are you thankful for, Jer? Do you know what? I mean, obviously I have so much to be thankful for in the real world, but right now I'm really thankful

for Amazon Prime's return policy, because it is so helpful during this time of year. You can just get anything returned, and then sometimes they'll just let you keep it too. So then you can keep it for once. I'm just like having a field day doing online shopping and I did not know this return policy. I'm like running to the UPS store just being like, I don't want this here, have it back. And then they just refund you immediately.

They don't even wait for the product to come in. I'm so grateful for them. No, I love it. Yeah. Yeah, that's it. That's the only thing I'm grateful for this year. Thanks. Don't even get me started on Amazon.

Oh yeah, you're in Amazon. They're part of the pod. I love them too. I'm just thankful for my life that I've created. My baby, it's her first holiday season, and it's like so crazy to think that there was a moment in time where she was just like a thought process of like, are we going to get a donor? And then we found the perfect one. You guys all participated in that. And last year, it was like, this was the time I was being inseminated

and then I found out I was pregnant. And so-so was just like a name. And now there's a person to put the name to and I'm just really happy about it. You should be thankful too that you have such a fricking cute baby. Oh my God, she's perfect. She's the cutest.

She really is like gorgeous. I'm just thankful for my little group of people and I feel safe and happy. Same, I feel like I'm so thankful to just, I'll start to cry so I'll make it quick, okay? No, but it's like, I have such a solid group of people and obviously we'll get into the Vanderpump stuff after the next break, but just to be able to still do

like what we're doing, you know? Yeah. Aw. You're so sweet, Sheena. We'll take a break. We'll be right back. Hey, Shenanigans listeners, Etsy knows what kind of holiday gifting reactions you're looking for this year.

To all of my Outlander fans out there, it's time to rejoice because Droughtlander

is officially over. Yes, the beloved series returns to stars November 22nd, and we couldn't be more excited, okay? But this is no time to relax because the Frazier's are about to embark on what will be their most trying and consequential journey yet. Picking up where we left off in the first part of season seven, Claire and Jamie are leaving the American colonies for the homeland they've longed for through years of war and separation, Scotland. and they've longed for through years of war and separation, Scotland.

But as we all know, homecomings can be bittersweet. With the Revolutionary War casting its long shadow and threatening to drag them back into the brutal conflict, the Frasers face the agonizing decision on whether to stand by the people they love or defend the land they've come to call their own. Forced to leave each other's side, Claire and Jamie will find themselves worlds apart,

possibly forever. Is this where their journey ends? Don't miss the epic return of Outlander. Watch now only on the Stars app. Okay, before we get into that, because I'm not fully ready to cry yet, but this is the reason why I didn't wear mascara today. I just remembered I used to have this other Thanksgiving

tradition when I was with Shay, and we would go Black Friday shopping at midnight at the mall every year after Thanksgiving dinner. Have you guys ever, like, actually Black Friday shopped? Yes. Nightmare. My biggest nightmare. Do you do it anymore?

Are we like Cyber Monday people now? Cyber Monday people for me. I just don't do anything. I just buy the stuff when I want it. I know that, too. But I really appreciate a lot of these like big stores and brands. They start Black Friday or Cyber Monday so freaking early.

Yeah, they do. It's really great. I'm too full and like tired on Thanksgiving to do anything. Mondays are good because you have time to digest and then get on your phone to do stuff. But I also feel too much pressure by Cyber Monday. It's like, well, what if I need a day to think about it? And I don't know.

Yeah. It's like, how much money am I really saving to then buy something when I'm maybe not ready? I don't know, I'm from Florida. And so banging on the doors of that Walmart at like, 11.59 was life when you were, you know, in your 20s and you're like a wild career roaring to go. Like, it's super fun.

I remember going one time as like a child and we went with another family, like our childhood friends, went and got hot chocolates and waited outside the mall. And like as a child, that is so much fun. But to think about doing that as an adult where I'm in charge, no, no. Well, if you actually want something too,

like that's the weird thing where people are like, oh my God, I'm here for the Furby. Right, yeah. And it's like. The PlayStation. And then you start to get fights and you know. The fight is scarce. There's a possibility you're gonna get your ass kicked.

Yeah. Or worse, trampled to death. Like, ah! You didn't even make it to the aisle or to fight over the thing. I do like going to Kohl's though in Palm Desert on the morning after Thanksgiving. They have, everything is like always 60% off

but then you throw Black Friday on it. I get so much Christmas shopping, white elephant gifts all at Kohl's. It's basically free. Yeah. Yeah, so. I don't know about that. Another one.

I saw something this past week that suggested, you were talking about Christmas earlier and just decorating, that happier people were talking about Christmas earlier and just decorating that Happier people put up their Christmas trees earlier than unhappy people So what is early like before Thanksgiving is definitely? I never put my tree up early until last year. And I think you kind of inspired me for that because I was like, we were in Palm Springs

and it was I think the day before Thanksgiving. Yes, and you came over to the house and we were decorating. And I was like, well shit, now Summer's gonna come back to her house and be like, where's my fucking Christmas tree? I love, this is where you see different parenting styles, right?

Sheena, and we've talked about this before, Sheena's the one where if Summer wants a toy or Ocean wants a toy, it's like, we have to. She comes over and she sees my house and she's like, oh, Summer's, we gotta get ours up. I'm the parent where I'm like, get the fuck over it. We ain't doing it. That's how we do things.

I don't care if she has her Christmas tree out. We do not do that. And especially in public, I'm like, just keep her happy at all costs, give her whatever the fuck she wants. And Brock's like, he snapped at her the other day. Another thing, another one of the many public outbursts were in the hotel. It's like two seconds before check-in

and he's sitting on the couch with her and I see him like toss a pillow to her and I'm checking in. It takes all of two minutes to check in but then she throws the pillow like too far and it goes on the ground. He's like, don't throw the pillow on the ground. And I'm like, you started it with her.

And he like reprimands her and then she's very sensitive. She gets embarrassed. There's other people in the lobby. And I'm like, and then he like raises his voice again. I'm like, bro, wait, save it for the room. Save it for the room. I think you need to start pegging Brock. Oh my.

We did. What is that gonna fix? I think he just needs, this sounds like he needs. To be put in his place a little. He needs to be put in his place a little bit. In a sexual way. He needs to see that Sheena has the authority here. Are you a top Sheena?

She would definitely. Would you be a top or a bottom or a verse? I think she would be a verse. I think I'd be verse. Lala's a top. She'd be verse based on who she's with. Janet's a top, you're a verse. Yeah, for sure.

What's a verse? Switch. Both, what's a verse switch? Yeah Little top a little bottom. Mm-hmm. Oh and you think I'm strictly a topper. I just like you're a top Energy, I'm a blouse obviously I fucking I love it. You are so fabulous. Did you love it's like, what are you great for? I like beat cancer all this wonderful things. I'm like Amazon prying This is why we love you. Yes behind the scenes we talk about all the like cry stuff We get on this mic and it's like Amazon take back. Yes Yeah, like baby keep it light I love it

I feel like this year for Christmas for both of you, we know. Yeah. Keep it light, baby, keep it light. I love it. I feel like this year for Christmas, for both of you, you know, it is so different with where you were at last year. You had a newborn and you had just a tiny little seed in you. So what for this Christmas are you looking forward to the most with Cameron? And are you having to like baby proof, like your decorations?

Like, I don't even remember that age of Christmas. He's getting into everything, so I think I'm going, I heard a trick that if you put your tree up first and let it be there for like a couple days and then put the ornaments on it, that kids, especially Cameron's like about to be one year old, and he wants to get everything, that they get used to seeing the tree and they're less interested in pulling down the ornaments.

So I might do that. I'll let you know how that works. Okay. But yeah, he gets into everything. I'm really excited do that. I'll let you know how that works. Okay. But yeah, he gets into everything. I'm really excited this year. I feel like this year he's, so he's gonna be one. He'll be one on December 7th, but this will be his first like real Christmas last year.

He just sat there and I dressed him up as an elf and we did nothing. And then he shit his pants. This year, I think he'll enjoy like tearing the paper and stuff, cause he really likes boxes and packages and things. Like if I... You don't even have to put a present in it, just the box. People were like, what does he want?

And I was like, nothing. He has so many toys. So I'm literally just gonna let him open all of our presents. I'm not getting him anything, truly. I have not bought him anything. And that truly, it's such a waste. Yeah, when he's old enough where he wants something, then I will spend the money and time.

But right now he's gonna be so excited to play with tissue paper and tear open boxes that I'm like, that's what he's old enough where he wants something, then I will spend the money and time. But right now, he's gonna be so excited to play with tissue paper and tear open boxes that I'm like, that's what he's gonna do for Christmas. And he can open our presents. I got a white elephant gift, like Tupperware, some shit. And Ocean, at that age, was like, so in, she wanted nothing to do with anything else except for the Tupperware.

So I think that's great. We have to talk about your white elephant gift last year. What was it? So Lala regifts some brands for white elephant gifts. No, don't say Lala, that is Lisa. That is fucking Lisa. Don't throw me into this shit. Doesn't everybody do that?

No, totally, but here is the funniest part. It was a great gift, but they left a little card in it Because it was like from the family who like has this company and it was like a little bit about it But it was like lala My mom now like That books that I receive from people that it's very kind. We love the books. Keep sending them. And then she'll go through to make sure that they haven't signed the name. And you just sniff that part out after you're done reading? That's why. She got called out in front of everyone.

That's funny. She's such a good sport though. My mom is so great at laughing at herself that it makes it fun. I love Lisa. It's fun to make fun of her because of the response. The only reason why we poke fun at her is because that laugh is chef's dance. She's like, did I do that? Did I? I don't know. I probably did that huh? No, it's so good. I feel like Lisa and I, you know, we have that we live in the clouds mentality but it's just favorite and that's why I enjoy you. She we have that, we live in the clouds mentality, but it's just. She's my favorite and that's why I enjoy this. She's such a joy.

So are you though. Thanks. I love it. Okay, I'm gonna take one more quick little break because then we are going to talk about RIP, VPR, end of an era. As we knew it. All right, y'all, winter is here.

There's been a lot of VPR news this week, but first I do Before I cry first. I do want to touch on something positive and that is Kristen's pregnancy announcement this morning. I Was on the phone with her for a while last night her and I have been playing phone tag for three and a half weeks

Going back and forth. She calls me, then I call her and her phone's always on do not disturb. So I'm like, this bitch is always sending me straight to voicemail. Then I look, I'm like, it's not me, it's everybody. Do you know I take it personally? But I'm so happy for her. Rainbow babies are so magical

unless you've experienced a pregnancy loss at just that next pregnancy. It's so terrifying, but it's so exciting. It's hard to be excited when you're afraid of something happening. And we just had the best, like longest conversation last night where I'm just like, you're allowed to be happy.

You're also allowed to be scared. You're allowed to get a fetal Doppler. You're allowed to do all the things. Like I said, I was like, but then, you know, my OCD told me that using the Phaedopter was too much and that you're not supposed to because like this and so but I was just like Whatever you need to do until you feel those first kicks to feel safe like and it's okay to you know Just and reach out to your friends who have also experienced this she has two other friends who are pregnant right now who also?

Experienced losses, so I love that they You know they have that together, they're all a couple weeks apart. And I'm like, it would have been such a lonely time. I know like we didn't fully have our pregnancies together, but just knowing that you were pregnant and Brittany and Stacey, like, even if we weren't all best friends during then, like the time our kids came out,

we've been friends ever since. And just having that, you know, you and Jenny Ting, having someone with kids around the same time, it just is so amazing. So I just wanted to give her a big congratulations. Congrats to Kristen and Luke. Yes, oh, Luke too. I guess he had something to do with this. But I told her yesterday, I was like, I just want to give you a heads up because I don't think you're gonna get the you Know Vanderpump rules call that it's not coming back But if you're announcing tomorrow, they're also announcing Vanderpump rules is canceled tomorrow and I want you to have your moment

I don't want your moment to be overshadowed by this news. So she got hers in first good job But then also yesterday Tom and Tom announced that Schwartz and Sandys is going to be closing at the end of this year. And I mean, you know, regardless of any personal feelings that we have for either of them, it's like we saw how much they sacrificed for this place for their dream. And when any business closes, you know, it is so sad. And it's like, I know just from is so sad and it's like I know

Just from hanging out with Schwartz recently. We went to a football game last week. I mean They really like they gave it their all and he put everything into it and it's sad It's just it's an end to an era in so many ways, you know You know finally it's like obviously everyone's heard the news by now because it's Friday when this is coming out, but Vanderpump Rules is being rebooted for season 12 with an all new cast at Sir, like the Real Housewives of New York, just new season, new cast. It's not Vanderpump Rules, the new cast,

the new class, the new generation, it's just Vanderpump... So are they starting it on 12 or will they do what reboot did for Roni? Because reboot Roni starts at season one, doesn't it? No, it doesn't. It's like 14 or 15 or whatever. Yeah. Yeah, if you go onto Peacock, it's listed as season 14 or 15. It's the exact same as what they did with them. Same show, same IP, new cast. All right. How do you guys feel? Well, I mean, I just have to thank everyone,

you guys included, who have been checking in on me. Thanks so much. I always check in on Sheena. Yeah, no, a lot of people have been, so thank you. But I mean, how are you feeling? I feel like this wasn't a shock to us. I think we knew it was coming but then Getting the call it's like because I'm like this has been a moment

That I've been waiting for and not like a positive way But like knowing one day we're gonna get the call that Vanderpump rules is over It's not gonna go on for a hundred seasons. No show does so I'm like what how am I to feel the day that I get that call? And I felt at peace with it. I feel like if it was last year, the year before that, like I think maybe I wouldn't have been in the same place in my life. I don't know. It's mixed feelings. How are you feeling? I mean, I've known that this was coming for a while. I think I knew the moment that I lost my shit

at the finale of season 11. It just felt very final to me. Yeah. And there was nothing left to say. The story was done. And I think I've said that for quite a while. Like, there's no more story to tell with this group of people. But, and I'm not comparing when I say this moment

to the passing of my dad, but there was a moment in time I remember being in a limo in Utah, and limos are like not a thing anymore, right? So this limo literally broke down on the freeway up to Park City, and I wanted to lose my shit. I remember looking at my dad and being, like, wanting to take my anxiety down, because I'm like, this is a moment that I want to remember,

because it's funny, the limo's fucking, we're in a white fucking broke down limo on the side of the road. And I was like, and my dad's not gonna be here forever, because he was having health issues. And then the call that was made, where it was like, my dad's not gonna be here forever because he was having health issues. And then the call that was made where it's like, dad's gone. And I immediately went back to that moment of like,

fuck, it came, it's here. And I'm not comparing like the end of Vanderpump to that. But I remember so many moments of us all having ups and downs and being like, you guys, we're on a fucking great television show. This is wild. Like, one day it's going to be over. We're not going to remember the bad. We're just going to be so happy that it all happened. And it's not going to last forever.

So that's the moment, like when Alex called me and I knew it was coming. But it was like, oh, we're here. It doesn't exist as it once did. And now I'm having the, someone refers to it, Landon referred to it as the graduation effect. Where it's like, you never wanna go back to high school, right? Like a horrible time, but there's something that you,

that sinks in where it's like, I feel this intense bond to my cast. They probably don't feel the same way, but. But I'm like, I'm not remembering any of the bad. I'm only remembering the good. I'm thinking of like myself as like a 24 year old, like in the craziest of worlds. You know.

I've been getting sober on this show. So much of my life has been documented. Yeah. You know, ocean and summer. I know. And I feel like obviously like we will have like, you and I at least have that opportunity to keep our stories being told, you know, but for this to just be done. And you should be so proud of yourself.

And if you look at how Bravo and other shows have done things since, that crossover was so epic and legendary and iconic, and they've tried to do it again and they've used the same format because your moment was so iconic on that, that they were like, well, look how well this worked out. We have this hit TV show from this crossover and they've, you know, I think you need to get both of you guys need to give yourself a ton of credit. Everybody

on the show, you guys have created something so iconic and cool and nobody's ever going to be able to take that away. You guys did something that there's millions of people that would want to do or have tried to do and there's something so magical about the cast and the people that you guys all worked with that, I mean, all I can say is it's just, it's so iconic. We couldn't have done it without one person. It's like to go through so many changes

and still be able to maintain a show and then to go out the way we went out, it was, although no one saw it coming, it was just like, like I said in my post, like we rocked this bitch until the wheels fucking fell off. Yeah. And as we did, I don't feel like we've been replaced at all. I feel like we've graduated. it's just not the same.

Nothing lasts forever. And I'm really excited to see this group of new, young, just excited about life. I want them all to fuck each other. I want them to have fucking meltdowns. It's like, just do it, baby. Because there will be a day where you decide to settle down, have some kids,

maybe a couple of you may find yourselves in AA, and it's all fucking good. Yeah. So I feel a little bit differently than you feel, just because I know what this show did for my life, and it completely changed it, and I'm so excited for another group of people to see. Take advantage of it though.

Don't be the person on this show to get caught up in the moment and think that this life lasts forever. Start teeing yourself up. Think about your hopes and your dreams and your goals. And look at this as something to parlay into all of those. Yeah. No, when I said that to Baskin, I was like, no, I think that this group, you know,

it was gonna be too hard to keep making the same show. I understand, you know, your decision with that. I do wish, though, that they would put a button on your guys' run of the show. Do you know what I mean? Like, close it out, put a button, and then, like what you said, like, the new class, the next generation, I do, just as, like, a viewer and, you know, a Bravo fan and everything,

it feels like it would... benefit the new show going in instead of the weight of what you guys have done for the last... the past decade or whatever. Like, they're, you know, it's hard to bottle that magic. So hopefully they've got a new approach to it. We talked about this in the car, Jared, because I don't even know that that would help.

I mean, Vanderpump rules the cast was lightning in a bottle. Like once in a lifetime kind of thing. Once in a lifetime. And the only new cast members that came on and really actually stuck were myself and Brittany. Oh my God, that's a good point. Because James wasn't there in the beginning. But he was like the boyfriend right?

No end of season two we talked about him at the reunion. Okay. And then he came on season three. Did he meet was he in the mix at all during the other season? He was a bus boy wasn't he? He was a buser but it wasn't until like the reunion season two where Kristen and him had hooked up. So he was like the first one. Wow. Yeah. And now Kristen's pregnant with, oh my god, time really has come. Yeah, with Tom's condoms. You don't remember that? Oh, god. That's right, I do. It's all flooding back. People bring up early VPR hookup days. I'm like, ew, those people know each other, let alone used to hook up. But they used our existing cast for season eight to kind of like soft launch, like get everyone comfortable with a new group.

And it did not go the way it was planned. So as excited as I am for like these new Vanderpumpers, I'm like, you guys have really big shoes to fill. There were so many authentic connections that you just don't find, you know, very often. It's like once in a blue moon. My hope for them is that they don't try to fill your shoes and that they don't try to you know, very often. It's like once in a blue moon. My hope for them is that they don't try to fill your shoes and that they don't try to recreate what you guys have done.

I hope they all go into it as authentic and real as they are. And I hope it does well. And I hope that they create something different but, you know, successful. Social media was barely a thing when you guys started this. Instagram started in 2012. I literally got Instagram when I signed on to Vanderpump rules because people just told me, I should. With your ass photo.

Yes! I remember showing that. I'm like, look at her profile photo. This hoe. I love that you posted that in your slide. Iconic. Like, you guys, you didn't think that I was going to be a hothead and show my ass. Like I literally entered the scene showing my ass. So of course there was gonna be some fucked up moments along the way. If I ever had an ass like that one, that photo, I'd be posting it everywhere too. That's very nice of you.

We were all just jealous. That's why we were talking shit. I haven't met that. Actually I would have posted today just because. Like I wish my ass looked like that. Look at this hoe. That's the nicest thing you've ever said to me. I have a question for you guys.

If you would have known that VPR was going to end as we know it, before you did season 11, would you have done anything differently? So, I- Take a question. No, I wouldn't. And I knew I was adamant after season 10 I am NOT coming back to Vanderpump Rules. I'm on such a fucking high and they were like just one more season and I was like this is gonna turn very bad.

This is gonna turn out very badly. I'm just letting you all know it's gonna turn out badly. It turned out worse than what I prepared everyone for. Okay so there's one thing that I would have changed, and it wasn't on camera. I wish that after the finale, after I lost my mind, that I would have called Ariana and said, I wanna let you know that I said some really, really hurtful things.

It'll probably be friendship ending. It was not my style. I can't even believe that I didn't do that because I'm so adamant about when I say things behind your back, I'm going to say it to your face. I still went to her show. I still supported her all the while knowing that I said what I said because I think in my mind, I compartmentalized. I was like, but that had to do with the show. I was angry at her for the show and I wasn't even angry at her. I don't regret saying what I said. I regret not giving her the heads up and saying, I said this because of X, Y, and Z.

I probably should have told you sooner on camera, but just giving you the heads up, this is gonna come out. Because you guys didn't see the end of the final episode until you were sitting at the reunion. With each other. No, but I knew that they weren't gonna air it until the reunion. I got the call that it was like, hey, by the way,

they're saving the last 15 minutes. And I was like, great. But Ariana didn't get that call. And if she did, she didn't answer. Because she looked at me at the reunion and said, what the fuck? And I was like, you didn't know this was happening? Like, I knew this was happening.

So I assumed everyone knew, because I knew she knew. And I obviously, I think a lot of people are like, Lala thought that that wouldn't air. And I'm like, no, we knew it would. Are you crazy? This is our first rodeo. You guys are crazy. Yeah, they're gonna cut that wouldn't air. And I'm like, no, we knew it would. Are you crazy? This is our first rodeo. You guys are crazy. Yeah, they're gonna come back.

Is it not gonna air? Well, and then that's where I struggled too with my loyalty to Ariana and Lala because I was there when she said these things. And I also didn't give Ariana a heads up because I'm like, well, this was set on the show and now the show is done filming. And then we'll just go back to our lives

and then we'll film the reunion. And assumed before the reunion she would have seen it. I had no idea they were going to hold it until then. But that too because I'm like, well, I'm not going to tell Ariana what she said and then have you be upset with me. I appreciate you not telling her. It wasn't my place to tell her because then that would have just caused an issue with us. The show was done that night. You know, what's the point of me telling her and having them fight after the show has already wrapped? It just wouldn't have done any good.

I have another, sorry, question for you guys. What would you say are your high and low of the entire experience of doing Vanderpump Rules? Is there one scene that you were like, oh, if I could get rid of that one? Forever. so many. Whatever. All of season six. What was season six? Rob.

Rob. Mine would be, yeah, that was. If it wasn't for Rob though. Wait, was that the TV guy? Yes. Yeah, if it wasn't for Rob. The moment you said Rob. The moment you said Rob.

I'm like, the montage of Herbie like, he didn't wanna be on the show and I'm like picturing Rob getting up, making a toast. I'm like, you're such a fucking douche. If it weren't for Rob though, you're only seeing Grace. We might not be friends. That is so true.

See, everything is cut out. Every negative has a positive. A silver lining. So full circle. And then do you also have a favorite moment? Obviously I assume like, you know, the babies and all that. The wedding, your wedding.

Can I have the force to answer the first question? Yeah. The one thing that I wish that I could just hide away for no one to ever see again is me getting my hair dyed, talking to Stassi about home. I remember this so vividly. The Range Rover. And by the way, it has nothing to do with what I said.

I'm okay, suck dick for a Range Rover and plenty more. Whatever, fuck it. I got it figured out. It was the way I looked while I was It was like before the ears were all cute and pinned back. I like it had a little bit of bloat going Not good Yeah, there's there's many moments that if I watched it back. I would cringe, but you know We had such a good fucking run

Yeah, I am so proud of us 11 seasons. I mean other than obviously Housewives Kardashians Jersey Shore. I mean what else has had like this long of a run been nominated for Emmys I've had two weddings on a show. I don't think many people can say that. Who the fuck has been married twice on one show? I love that. I think there is one housewife, someone told me, because I'm like, am I the first? And they're like, no, someone else did it first. I was like, oh, all right, whatever.

But yeah, we can't remember. We can't remember. We can't remember. Exactly. Maybe she was in One Season Wonder. Yeah. I had my band over the other day. We were finishing Christmas Sleigh. We're finishing Christmas.

They were putting out a remix. I believe it comes out. What did I say? December, like six or something. With the two sevens, the twenty sevens. Yes. Twenty sevens remix with Lala and I. Christmas. It will be out soon. It's really cute. The new version.

I can't wait. It's really cute. So when they were over, Kevin had asked me, he goes, well, you know, if the show is done, are you happy with how it ended? And I'm like, yes and no. I said, I think I looked the best I ever looked at that reunion. So happy about that. Yeah, you looked so good. But before that, I go for the finale up until like the shit hit the fan.

The fact that I got to perform with the band due to songs, they didn't have like the audio to where I sounded bad, like they've done in the past to me, and I'm on the bar and they're using this audio and not the mic audio. You know what? I'm proud of that performance. It was so much fun.

That was an epic finale party, and shit hit the fan and we had the reunion and all that, but I was like, you know, I'm glad that I at least got to go out with a solid performance for the end of the show you guys I sat at that finale and I was like I'm not bringing it. I Refuse I y'all better make something happen cuz I ain't the one you know my back hurts Not the fucking one and then Jeremiah makes his way over to me, and I'm seeing commotion and he goes

Everything that you felt I want you to demolish the over to me and I'm seeing commotion. And he goes, everything that you felt, I want you to demolish the fourth wall. And I certainly did. Yeah. Like Berlin, Germany, baby. No, but I sat on this leather couch in my gold outfit that, thank God, Sheena brought that because my outfit had a split on the ass.

And I'm a great packer. Like I only pack for the nights that I need. No backup plan. No backup. What a risk. It would have been iconic to start your experience with your ass and to end it with your ass. Oh, I was showing my ass in a different way.

But I truly would have just planted myself on that leather couch all night and been like, it's been great. Tomorrow's my birthday. I'm gonna head to Palm Springs. Hope to see you guys not for a very long time. Like, stay away. That was the hardest season I've ever done in my life.

And I kept thinking it would end. Like, my feeling towards it. And I was, it was just like, but everyone was feeling it. No one wanted to be there. Yeah. I think that was the other thing. I'm like, there's no more story,

but also like there's such a vibe when cameras pick up and we're all just fucking ready to go, right? Like we're ready to make great TV, we're ready to go toes. This was showing up, no one wanted to be around each other, no one was having fun. There was a storyline that understandably, Ariana was like, I don't want to talk about him. And I'm like, and that's fine.

I really don't either. But like, there's cameras here. So we kind of have to. You know, like this is honestly Look to the left, look to the right. Look in front of you. Like, I'm honestly just trying to get the best cum on the planet to get pregnant with in a few months.

Like, this is the last thing I give a shit about. Yeah. Yeah, that good cum. That good, good. OK, thing I give a shit about. Yeah. Yeah, that good come. That good, good. Okay, I have one more quick one. So now obviously you guys are on the outs with some people, close with some people, knowing that you don't have that commitment

to filming with them coming up. Is there anybody that you feel like you're going to reach out to or make amends with? Anybody that you're like, once I don't have the connection of a show with them, I'll probably never see them again. I don't think I will change anything that I have been. You know, I text Ariana here and there, I ran into Katie at a festival,

but I'm not going to like reach out more, reach out less. I'm just gonna continue doing what I've been doing because show or no show, all of these people have been in our lives for so long And it's like when I see you I see you and when I don't I'm living my life And I think I'm just gonna continue on the same path. I'm on and excited for new adventures I love that sheesh. No, I think I've got my circle right where I want it to be and I it's not that I like I said I For some reason I'm forgetting all of like the bad stuff that happened other

people have not but it's no I don't think I need to reach out to anybody I'm happy in the space that I'm in and I think it seems like it truly seems like everybody is maybe not the Toms I think the next chapter of their life is gonna be like one to look forward to mm-hmm I'm glad that this one's ending for them as well. Yeah, you know make sense Well on that note, we're gonna end this podcast, but we're gonna Want to end it on the Thanksgiving party Sation is not ending because we are gonna continue a part two of this with some hot topics next week

Okay, and on that note We're gonna end this podcast, but not before my new segment I am debuting it here today for you all it is called the Jack's whole of the week. Oh, no It's not always gonna be about Jax Taylor. Okay look this week it is gonna be about Jax because... What did he do now? He had a hit and run. Did you not see TMZ? Oh I did. I did see that. I missed this. I saw it on reality blurb or some shit. I saw it on my urb. You don't rear end a car and flee the scene. Was the person in the car? Yes! Then they chased him to a gas station where paparazzi I I guess, was also chasing him

and then had an exchange and it's like a whole thing. What? I saw a thing, like who knows, but somebody where he said like, do you, oh you want to do this the hard way? It's like, Jax. He said you want to do this the hard way? When the person asked for his insurance, supposedly, this is like a thing on... You mean like an adult version of doing things?

Yeah, I would like to do that. I mean. That's the way I would like to do it. The hard way with insurance and the law on our side. I'm like, do you not have insurance, Jax? Is that why? I mean, by the way, that's a big no-no. Well, he's done other things that are big no-nos. Jax Taylor?

Wait, are you telling me that Jax Taylor is not a model citizen? You know, there's things like your mortgage that you have to pay, there's things like taxes you have to pay. What? There's things like car insurance you have to pay. I'm not saying he hasn't paid any of those, I'm just saying those are things you have to pay as a reminder.

As an adult. Yeah, and if you run into a car you have to show your insurance, it's not the hard way. Literally, you don't say, I didn't see any damage so I'm just gonna scoot. Like what? That's not up to you. That's insane. Insane. It's so ridiculous. My face hurts.

I know. I think sometimes I block out the things I hear that he does. Yeah. It's because we're desensitized. It's quite depressing. Yeah, it's so sad that we're desensitized. As some final words to Jax, just please be a decent human being this week, so my Jax whole of the week is not you, okay?
