Scheananigans with Scheana Shay - Scheana Spills On Tattoo Regrets, Enchiladas & Brock the “Trad Wife”

Episode Date: March 13, 2026

This week, Scheana is answering your listener questions and nothing is off limits, except for questions she’s addressed numerous times before – like why her last name is Shay. From Bravo tea to personal reflections, she’s diving into everything you’ve been wanting to know. Which Bravo show would Scheana join if she had to pick another? Who is her favorite (and least favorite) Bravolebrity? And which Vanderpump Rules castmate was she actually closer with than the cameras showed? She also opens up about whether she’s working to salvage any old friendships and what she does—and doesn’t—miss about being on TV. Plus, Scheana gets into the tattoo removal process and the seven bad decisions she’s currently erasing from her life (and body), including the matching tattoo she once got with Kristen Doute. She also jokes about Brock’s new “trad wife” energy in the kitchen, gives an update on new music and upcoming projects, and shares when you might see her back on your TV screens.

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 Shea. Hello, hello, and welcome back to shenanigans. I'm here solo in the studio today. I feel like it's been a couple months since I've done a solo podcast,

so I figured we'd have a little moment. ask me anything and get through as many as I can. I would really love to know how Danny Pellegrino does this. I mean, he has like multiple episodes a week, I feel like, and they're all solo. I don't know. He does a lot of recaps. He does a lot and just, you know, rapid firing into the abyss for hours.

It's crazy, amazing. I should probably have him back on the podcast soon to get some tips. Because when I do these solo ones, I don't take. that many breaks. I wonder if he does. I probably should. I tend to be long-winded because I'm just talking to myself. So anyway, I need all of the teas and liquids and all of that to just keep my vocal cords lubricated. This is now the second Friday the 13th of the year, which is crazy, because we're only in March. We had that last month. We have it again this month. I'm seeing it as a good luck day. That's what my mom always said, because her birthday is on the 13th. So

obviously often it falls on a Friday and Mercury still retrograding there so one thing that is so crazy so I was just researching different astrological things as I like to do during these times I follow the accounts that talk about you know just everything energetically that's happening and whatnot so I had a very big meeting that was supposed to happen this week actually two one one I another one just got rescheduled today. And I was talking to my friend Simon about this. And he was like, look, astrologically, this is not a week that you want to have important meetings. You don't want to be signing contracts.

Like there's all of these things this week that you shouldn't be doing. So the fact that not one, but both of my meetings got pushed to just when Mercury is out of retrograde, I'm seen as a blessing from the universe. And that is one of the things when things are getting pushed. is just the universe saying, you know what, we're going to give you a little more time to perfect whatever it is that you are doing. So if any of you have been feeling like things have been a little off, like your work or whatever is getting pushed, things aren't happening as quick as you would like them to. Just know, trust in the timing. This is all the universe and it's for a greater good.

That's what I am telling myself and that's what I believe. So anyways, you guys did send in lots of questions, lots of the same questions, TBD, if I will be getting into all of that. Because I feel like the people who ask these questions maybe don't always listen to the podcast. I'm like, I don't know how many times I've addressed this, the la la of it all, the last name of it all. It's like you guys just keep asking the same questions on Instagram for the pod. So I want to try and keep it different for those of you who are regular listeners. So you're not hearing me explain why my last name. is Shay for the 70 second time. Can we get an update on the EP release and will you be performing

anywhere else after Mighty Hoopla? Okay, so the plan is to release the EP on May 8th. I guess May 8th, it's this like fun day in Australia. They call it mate, mate, and I don't know, Brock thought that was funny. But that means that it will come out at 9 p.m. Pacific time on my birthday on May 7. and I'm going to be doing a big birthday party where I am planning to perform all of the songs from the EP as kind of a practice for Mighty Hoopla. So I do not see that date changing as the festival date is not changing and my birthday is not changing. So May 8th is the plan for the EP and performing anywhere else, maybe. I did see a comment today. Someone asked if I would open for Jesse Solomon because he's going to be doing.

a tour and May 11th he's in West Hollywood not saying I'm hopping on that by any means but I just thought that was funny I will definitely be there though but likely not on stage what do you think about doing a tour with some of the other Bravo song girlies like Melissa Erica Luann Kim Candice etc honestly that would be so fun and I'm kind of surprised we haven't done something like that before is that something you guys would want. If so, comment below if you're watching on YouTube because I feel like we do need to do more group Bravo-esque things leading up to BravoCon because if they're doing BravoCon every other year and you know if you're not on a current Bravo show, are you still at BravoCon?

Like you're still fam, but I don't know. So I would be down to do that. If there is a demand for it, then maybe it'll happen. If you could be on any other Bravo show, which one would it be? Ooh, you know what? I would say Southern hospitality looks like fun. I would come in as more of, you know, the mother of the group, as I'm probably, I don't know, maybe older than lover. But Charleston, it just looks like such a fun city.

Allie is obviously living in Charleston now. I'm supposed to be out there mid-May for my cousin's bachelorette party. I set her up at Republic. So TBD, if the timing works out, that I'm able to be there as well. But that's where they're all going to be. And I think that would be fun. So, yeah, sure, we'll pick that one. Or Summer House, you know, because I am friends with a lot of them.

But I just feel like I've definitely, you know, I'm not Kyle Cook. I have outgrown that partying age of that sense. So Summer House maybe 10 years ago, I guess when I was on it, would have been more fun. But I was going through a divorce then and I was no fun and I wasn't drinking and it just wasn't fun. Favorite and least favorite Bravo Liberty. So many favorites. I mean, here's the thing. If I name one, I have to name them all.

It's like Andy Cohen saying if he does one podcast, he has to do. them all. So how about a favorite that might surprise the people that were close? My girl, Dolores, she is always going to be one of my just go-to favorite humans. Shamiya, I absolutely adore. I felt like the second we met in person, we just had an instant bond. Ashley Darby. I love, see, the thing is, I could go on and on. Least favorite, I think you guys. guys can make a guess. I don't need to say that out loud. Probably someone from Southern California. We'll leave it at that. Or more than one. Would you ever do a VPR rewatch podcast? So I've actually been approached to do this. And I don't think I would do it any time soon.

You know, the show is still on, even though it is completely different. And if I were to ever do that I would end it at season 11. I would not continue with a bunch of people I don't know. It could be interesting. Also, could be just filled with PTSD for me. So I know right now where I'm at in my life, I am in a very mentally healthy and happy spot that I don't want to go back and watch old relationships and all of that. But I think one day that could be fun with the right co-host. Do you and Stossie still keep in touch? Not as much, but recently we were texting because I got, I had a miss call from her and I thought that was odd. And so instead of calling her back, I texted her, I was literally just boarding an airplane. And I text her and I was like,

hey, I just had a miss call from you. It was everything okay. And I might have even talked about this already on the podcast. But she was like, what? I didn't call you. I screenshot it. I sent it to her. We're going back and forth. Her assistant looks into it more. And it was a hack of some sort. It was fake where she also had like miss calls from my number.

And it was this crazy thing that I guess certain hackers do to get you to call back to confirm that it is that person's phone number. So we had a good laugh about that. But that was pretty much it. Do you still keep in touch with Pandora? We still follow each other. I see all of her stuff. She sees mine, but I have not seen her in a hot minute. That girl is booked and busy running restaurants and businesses all over the world. But I love to just watch her success

and to see everything, her new baby, not even a baby anymore. These kids, I swear, they grow up so damn quick. I cannot believe in just a few months, summer is going to be in kindergarten. Like, I remember when I went to kindergarten. It was a very long time ago. Okay. Moving on. Was there anyone on VPR that you had more of a friendship with off camera than what was shown? I think Katie, for sure, especially, what was it?

Season 9, we had a whole rekindling friendship storyline that was not shown. had a girl's night. Her and I went to Sir. We went out after. There was a night I went over to her house. We just drank wine and got really deep. And there was so much that year that just didn't make it in, didn't go with, you know, the narrative they were telling. But yeah, that is one that I do wish there was more shown because I think then, well, going into season 10, I don't know, maybe that would have been even worse for me because we were reconnecting. And obviously, when she was going through a divorce, you know, I was not as team Katie as I should have been. And that is a regret of mine.

It is one that I have apologized for. I think with her back in the day, I was very insecure about our friendship. As you can tell when I was the one who wanted her to reconnect with Stoddy, and then once she did, I felt like, oh, well, you don't need me anymore then. And those were all me things. And Katie, and I've said this to her, she is the definition of a ride or die, loyal girl's girl friend. And I wish I realized that more back then because I had an amazing friend right in front

of me and my own insecurities blocked me from fully embracing that friendship. So I think on that note, we will take a break and bear back. All right, y'all, I have talked to you about shopping on Revolve numerous times because it is my go-to place for all things. Whether it's, you know, a last-minute dinner, I needed something, whether it's festivals, date, night, holidays, or I just want a really nice new coat. Revolve is my go-to. I don't like overthinking. my outfits and when I go on a site like Revolve, it just makes it so easy. You can pick the brand, you can filter it. And I am obsessed with all of their looks. Like you know when something

pops up last minute and you just suddenly need an outfit that just works. That's when I go straight to Revolve because things come so quick. It comes with the return label. It's free to return it. If you need to swap out sizes, I've had to do that in the past too. But everything is styled in a way that just actually makes sense. It feels curated, not chaotic.

They also just launched their own label called Revolve L.A. And y'all, it's really chic. The silhouettes are strong and modern, very polished, very confident. It's the kind of stuff you put on when you want to look expensive, especially for a dinner or an event

And I'm Dr. Taise Ali Abadi. Dr. A, as she is known, is a world-renowned OBGYN.

And together, we're launching a new podcast, SheMD, to empower women to become their own health advocate. We're providing women with the knowledge and tools. to really own their own health. With celebrity guests and today's leading experts, we're dropping episodes every Tuesday. So listen and subscribe on YouTube or wherever you get your podcast,

so you never miss an episode. All right, we're back to your questions. Do you ever feel like you've shared too much? Always. Yes, absolutely. But here's the thing. With as many cringe moments as I do wish I could take back

from being out there, there are also so many moments that help people feel less alone with the shit they're going through in their own life. So I don't want to say I regret. I mean, definitely have some regrets. But with the oversharing, I do not regret that because I know me oversharing my life definitely has helped people. You know, and if I had a good filter to keep from creating all of these cringe moments that will forever haunt me in the VPR vaults. that will forever live on Peacock, you know, I mean, one, I wouldn't have lasted on reality TV as long if I had that filter. And two, I wouldn't have been able to talk about things like my postpartum struggles, my OCD, et cetera. So I know there are so many things that have helped

people and I'm glad I'm an oversharer for that reason alone. Will you try to salvage any old friendships, some that were like family. I assume you mean Ariana by how that is written. And I know I have addressed this on the podcast, but here's the thing, just kind of like I was saying with Katie, you know, we can't go backwards. I can only work on being the best version of myself and showing up in that way time and time again. And that includes taking inventory of where I have gone wrong in the past and just learning how to navigate better in the present in the future, how to be a better friend, how to be a bigger girl's girl. And I really feel like I've finally figured it out in my 40 years of life.

And, you know, I would hope that over time, our paths might grow back towards each other in some way. But I also completely understand why she has boundaries and could be skeptical about fully letting me back into her life. and I know she would need to see real change and growth before even considering that. So I can only hope that my actions and my words moving forward are enough for that because she went through hell. You know, she went through so much.

And she built a new support system and a new version of her life. And I have been doing similar work in my own world. and when you go through something like that, you really realize how sacred that space is and how protective you have to be of it. So as she has said on Watch What Happens Live and as I will always say, there is always so much love there.

It's such a strong love that is never going to go away. We can text a little here and there, follow each other on social media, be happy for each other. And I can only hope that one day, you know, we are back being a bigger part of each other's lives. I know I would love that. Summer would love that. So, yeah, speaking of missing things, do you miss being on TV? I mean, yes and yes, I miss the platform that I had to be able to share my story and help. people. However, I am fully enjoying the peace without it for now. I am not going to be gone forever. I will be back on your TVs, maybe sooner than later. We will see. But speaking of, any new shows in

the works, I miss you on my TV. Yes, there's always something in the works. Hence, the meetings I had this week that got rescheduled, and I know they are rescheduled for the better good, so we can just perfect what we're working on. Did you turn down the valley because you weren't offered a full-time role? No, I was, as was Brock. And we've already gone into why I turned it down. You can listen to my episode with Alex Baskin for more in-depth with that because they don't want to be repetitive on here for those who have already heard me mention it.

Would you accept a guest spot on a show in the NBC family like Law & Order or Chicago Fire? Anything scripted? Yes, absolutely. sign me up. I think that would be so fun and so fun to play a character that is something different. You know, I mean, I can't really see myself as a firefighter, but sure, why not? Going for some training. And you know what? That is the beautiful thing about acting is that you can always become someone else. You can act until the day you die. There is no age limit on acting. And that is another thing I absolutely love about it is there's always going to be a role for someone.

So a role for me. Stay tuned. What are you most excited for this year? Oh, well, things that I am working on. I am excited to see come to fruition. Just listening to myself, my body, keeping my peace. Looking forward to my daughter going to school, being in kindergarten. kindergarten. She is so excited. And I think just really following my gut and my heart over my brain,

my head, because I feel like in the past, you know, my brain tells me, follow the check, follow the money, keep a steady job when my gut was maybe telling me, I don't know, maybe if you pivot, something else will come to fruition. So right now, I am fully followed, my gut and my heart and that is why I said no to a full-time role on the Valley. It just didn't feel right. It wasn't the right time. Never saying never, but not right now. Are you going to the OCD Convention this year? I would love to. It is on my calendar unless something big work-wise comes up during those few days. I am fully planning on being in Seattle then. It is a very very special weekend for me, my mom, and a couple of my friends who I've now brought into it.

And yeah, I really hope that I'm able to be there. How do you handle your OCD? I've been struggling bad. I'm so sorry to hear that. I would absolutely talk to a therapist that has helped me tremendously doing ERP, which is exposure therapy. That has been life changing for me. And also, I finally got on medication.

And it doesn't make the intrusive thoughts completely go away. There is unfortunately no magic pill to do so. However, when they pop up in my brain now, I'm not crying when I'm thinking about these terrible things. And I'm not spiraling as bad as I was before. I am able to just push it out a lot easier. And that has come from years of therapy and work. And now medication.

So that is my recommendation. And I am so sorry to hear that you're struggling because, oh, I have been there. Has your OCD changed as summer has aged? Yes. And I think that is, of course, her getting older, having a voice. being able to tell me when something hurts, explain exactly what she needs and wants. That helps. But, I mean, she could still choke.

She could still get hit by a car. There's so many things that could still happen no matter how old she is. It has gotten easier for me. I'm way more comfortable. Like, I will fly by myself with her driving, going to theme parks, like all of these things. I never thought I would be able to do. And now I'm like, that's a breeze. So it definitely has gotten better since she's aged. But I've also been on medication for like a year and a half now. So I think that has really helped as well. How do you differentiate between postpartum OCD and anxiety? I'm

seven months postpartum and struggling. I honestly think those two really do go hand in hand. I absolutely think I had both. I just knew I didn't have postpartum depression. So I'm not a licensed anything other than a podcast host and a mom to say the exact differences on that because I do think they have very similar symptoms and things show up in the same way. My best advice is to speak to a psychiatrist because, I mean, you can do all the therapy in the world, but not all therapists are licensed psychiatrists who prescribe medication and a proper diagnosis. So I have had to seek psychiatry for all of my proper diagnosis, medication, all of those things. I check in with my psychiatrist. Now it's like every other month because I feel like I've really gotten a hold on my OCD.

I can handle it much better than I could in the past before I was checking in every three to four weeks. And now I'm like, we could go a couple months. I don't need to talk to you as much because I have my therapist to talk to and she's not as expensive as my psychiatrist. Emma wants to know best mommy advice for a first time mom. I'm three weeks postpartum. Congratulations. Listen to that mother's instinct.

Listen to your gut. I feel like I was so in my head when I had summer. I was so paranoid about everything. Obviously, I had PPOCD and definitely. anxiety. I think that the mother's instinct and your gut feeling, like, you know what your kid needs. You really do. Listen to that. But also, if there are any things that you need to do to alleviate that anxiety, I had summer in the Nana Breathe Wear strip until she was like two and a half years old. It was a little long. I had to extend it with the Velcro strap because she grew out of

it because it only goes up to 24 months. After that, they're like, yo, your kid's fine. But any of the little things you need to do and ask other mom, friends, family, get different pieces of advice because through different parenting styles, you learn what works for you. And I was so fortunate to have so many friends that were going through the same thing at the same time. And when I would look at some of them and I'm like, oh, wow, this doesn't make you anxious. like maybe that shouldn't make me anxious. So having anyone that you can lean on who is already a mom or going through the same the same stage of raising a baby really helps.

What is something you've learned about your mom that has taught you something about yourself and a follow-up question. What is something unexpected summer has taught you about yourself? We are all stronger than we think we are. My mom has experienced so much loss, her parents, three brothers, a baby sister, and she is the strongest woman I know. She is so resilient. She is so incredible. And through everything I've also been through, I know that I am a very strong person.

And I have to give my mom credit for raising a really strong girl. And I'm trying to do the same with summer. And she too has taught me that I'm stronger than I think I am. And just when I'm doubting myself as a mom, I look at the amazing child that we are raising. And I'm like, no, no, no, we're doing a great job. So stronger than I think. Does Brock contribute financially to your marriage?

I mean, I think it's no secret. I am currently more of the breadwinner. But more than financial. And I've talked about this before. There are so many ways to contribute to a marriage and a family beyond just like, oh, is he splitting the mortgage with me evenly right now? No. Six months from now, maybe. But things ebb and flow, you know, his drive, his passion and all of the projects he's working on, he is the definition of an entrepreneur.

And I know with what he's working on right now and how much. headway he has made with this current project, it's going to bring in money. And when it does, it's going to all be worth it. All of the hard work, all of the late nights, all of the decks that he's made, it's all going to pay off. But right now, I don't need him to go out and get a nine to five job to split the mortgage with me. I need him to be available to help take summer to school, pick her up, be there for her when I need to travel. And we're a partnership. We're a team. So there may be the day when he is working so much more than me and I need to adjust my life to be more available for summer. But I would much rather summer have extra time with

her dad than a nanny. So he contributes way more than I'm sure some other working husbands and fathers do. How is your cat doing? I swear, I almost was like, like, did this vet give me a run for my money because they took a lot of it? I think between 15 and 17,000, I honestly stopped counting after the second surgery. I was just like, can you stamp my frequent flyer card? Do I get a discount at this point? I was there weekly. It was ridiculous how much this cat needed. And now, lo and behold, he's fine. He's great, which I'm so thankful for. And I want to tell myself, no, he did need every poke, every medication, both surgeries and all of the things. But he is great.

We're just doing fluids twice a week. And after eight weeks, he may never need them again. They might need to up it. They might not. So that's it. So easy. It's like five minutes twice a week. And he's great.

Okay. Tiffany Miles wants to know, can I be on your podcast? you know, that could be interesting. Like, okay, comment below if you're listening or watching on YouTube. Would some of you like to pop on to the podcast sometime? Like, would you want to listen if you had audience members dropping in? Because we could do that where either it's someone calling in and it's like an ask me anything,

but it's their voice asking the questions instead of me reading them and answering them. Share your comments. Let me know because I am trying to figure out ways to keep this podcast brush and entertaining. I've been doing this for, oh my gosh, eight years now. Holy shit. Good on me. Thinking of some certain things I want to do with it, I do want to do a bit of a rebrand soon. Photoshoot, new artwork, maybe a new format.

But I don't know. Like usually when I do these solo episodes, I get more downloads than when I have guests on. So I'm like, okay, people actually do want to listen to me talk. But do you want to listen to me talk with fellow listeners? Let me know. Would you do another podcast tour and come to Australia for it? Oh, I definitely want a tour. Absolutely.

I have just been trying to figure out what that show looks like. And if when, I'm not going to say if I will say when I do. a touring show. I want it to be something fun, something interactive, whether it's with the band or this other project I am working on music-wise, that we can weave that in somehow throughout. I want it to be a fun show. I don't just want to be on stage talking or interviewing. Anyone who has come to a Shina Shai show, whether that is just with the band or on book tour, you know I like to keep it fun and interactive and entertaining. So I will be touring just TBD with who and when exactly.

All right. Only a few more to wrap it up. Enchaladas, red or green? Both. I prefer green with chicken, red with cheese. What is your go-to Tuesday night family dinner? Often it is homemade pasta night. We have done that once this week.

We're doing it again tonight. That's kind of our go-to cook with the family. Summer and Brock make the noodles from scratch, make the butter from scratch. And now make the sourdough from scratch. Tell me how many of your husbands make sourdough from scratch. So you want to ask how he contributes to the family? He makes good, healthy, nutrient-dense food that fuels our bodies.

And he does so much for this family. Teaching summer how to make sourdough bread from scratch are things that I would never do. I don't have an interest in doing, but she gets so many things from him that I just think are such incredible skills. And he's just, he's the best. So I don't really care if I'm covering the mortgage right now because the value he adds to our family is priceless. Jackie says, I'd like to request a VPR cookbook, your recipes, Britney's, Kristen's vegan things, etc. Ooh, that would be fun. Although I'm afraid I wouldn't have much to contribute other than my enchiladas.

I'm not really the cook in the family. Obviously Brock is, but Brock could do an entire cookbook just himself. Be like, what is it, Betty Crocker? Like, he's like Betty Brocker. Literally, I was like, honey, you're like a real life trad husband. He's like, what? I'm like, you know, like the trad wives? He's like, what do you mean?

I'm like, you're making your own sourdell. You're like a trad wife, but like a husband. I had to explain what that was, but he loved it. And he enjoys doing this. And he wants us eating the best, healthiest, least processed foods there are. And I'm like, then you got to cook for me. And you know what? He does every day.

And you tell us about the tattoo removal process. Okay. So trigger warning to those watching on YouTube, I'm going to show you. Just to answer a couple questions before I do. Okay, why are you getting them removed? Because you know what? I made some bad decisions when I was 18, 19, 20, and then I made some bad drunk decisions when I was 21, 22, 23.

And so seven of those bad decisions I am choosing to remove. I don't want any color tattoos on my body other than the two very very, very. special ones that I got for my puna and Papa who passed away and those were two of the first tattoos I got My hummingbird which you saw on I think episode two of season one and My hibiscus flower that I've I've had since right after my 18th birthday those I will keep I do think that I want to put some fine white lines and shadow it just so they all match But okay trigger warning are we ready? I don't know how well you'll be able to see zoom in Let's see.

This one, Kristen Doty, I love you, and I love that we have matching tattoos. However, what I don't love is that we were drunk when we got them, and this is technically upside down. If it faced the same way, it wouldn't bother me, but from my OCD for years, ever since I realized that, it drives me nuts, and it's not fine lines. When I have this bat right here, those fine lines are so incredible that this one is just, It's not it, but I'm happy to get another matching tattoo with you anytime. My 1111 special tattoo matching with my mom, as you can see, quite blistered right now because

it's on the bone. The skin is so thin right there. So that one is the hardest one to heal. I will be redoing this one in super fine lines. It needs to blend with my bat and let them because the non-fine lines just driving me nuts. Okay, ready for it? My ribs. Once upon a time when I was.

19. I called my mom. I was in Texas with my cousins. They wanted to go get tattoos. And I was like, sure, I'm down. And I called my mom and I said, Mom, what should I get? She looks at her wall and goes,

what about Live Laugh Love? That's a great idea, Mom. Sure. Did it mean anything to me? Was it like my life's motto? No, I just got it. And back then, I recently found an old Facebook post

of the day I got the, this tattoo. It appeared to be quite fine lines. Now it's just smushed. My tramp stamp I got when I was 18. I got it to piss off my high school boyfriend who we were on a break. I was like, I'll show him. Jokes on me. We're not together. I still have the tattoo. So I'm removing that one because people pleasing 18 year old Sheena was talked into a fairy this big. in full color by the artist Amy Brown. It's called Waterlily. And I went in wanting the little itty-bitty Britney Spears fairy tramp stamp.

And they're like, no, no, no. They didn't do fine lines back then. And they're like, when you fast forward, this is going to be smushed. You're not going to see the face. We should go big. Go big or go home. And I was like, okay. Stupid.

There's one on my foot on the inside, like right below my ankle. got it on a first date. Thought it was a good idea. Had a few tequila shots. Went to Shamrock tattoo on sunset because I thought, it's a date. He's going to pay for my tattoo. He did not.

I was stuck with a $300 bill and a painful foot that was so bloody and swollen. The next day I woke up, I had to wear shoes similar to this, ugs to work the next day at the cigar lounge. It hurt to walk. It was just, I am a little. bit Irish, but I don't need a green shamrock in the inside of my foot. When I do red carpets, there are just so many tacky tattoos on my body, like the one behind my neck. I, again, in Texas,

drunk with the cousins. I'm like, that one. And they're like, oh, the diamond. I'm like, yeah, but let's make it green. So it's an emerald. Stupid. Every time my hair is in an up to, I hate it. So soon enough, they'll be gone. Go to my boy, Sean. If you are in L.A., it's at Lucy Heart Inc. She is on Ventura and, like, Laurel Canyon. It's where I got my lip blushing done, where I got my eyebrows, microbladed, and he is currently removing all of my tattoos,

and they have the best machine that is going to remove them in half the amount of time as normal tattoo removal laser machines. Okay, last two, and then we'll give a jack's hole. What was your AIM screen name? You guys, it was QT Baby, but it was the number eight instead of B's, 23. 23 was mine and my boyfriend back then our anniversary date. QT Baby 23. That was it.

If we got a peek into your high school locker, what would it have looked like? God, I wish I remembered. I know I definitely had all the photos taped up. And back then, I don't know if the kids still do it these days, but we would wrap each other's lockers for birthdays. But I definitely had photos taped up in it and don't remember what else. Anyway, thanks for being along this long-winded ride with me. To wrap it up, this week's Jack's Hole goes to Timothy Shalameh,

after the comments he made during a town hall with Matthew McConaughey at the University of Texas at Austin, where he joked that ballet and opera are art forms that no one cares about anymore. Even though he quickly tried to walk it back, the remark rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, especially because his own grandmother, mother and sister, have all danced with the New York City ballet. So wild to me how he would shit on that, that nobody cares about it anymore. I know my daughter cares about it. she would love to go to the ballet or the opera.

And here's the thing, just because one type of art may bring in more money or attention that doesn't make it more meaningful or important, I think that the ballet, opera, theater, you know, those art forms require incredible discipline, talent, passion. I mean, they've inspired audiences for generations. The shit goes back. so long, long before the art of the motion picture was around, that's for sure.

So writing them off, even as jokes, just feels dismissive of the artists who dedicate their lives to the craft. So you, Timothy, are my Jacksville for the week. And my flowers for the week are going to my K-pop Demon Hunter Girlies, E.J., Audrey Noona, Ray on me, good luck at the Oscars this weekend to nomination. is so incredible, and I am absolutely rooting for them because, I mean, this movie, the music, I mean, it took over the whole world. And it has my daughter very excited learning Korean as we speak. She can say several phrases in Korean, and it's very impressive, I must say.

Thank you guys all for listening. And if you haven't gotten a copy of my New York Times best-selling book, and audiobook, go check her out. You might learn some things that you didn't know about me and like me a little more or a little less, TBD. But we will be back next week, getting into some more shenanigans. We'll see you then.
