What is up, babes? Welcome to our very first episode of VPR from the start. Let's call it a bonus series. It's definitely a bonus series. And this will air every Thursday. And Luke and I will be going back in time and taking you through old seasons of Vanderpump rules. It's back in time for you, babe. For me, this is all my first,

and not impression, but my first time seeing any of these episodes. I just watched the first episode for the first time. That's true. So yeah, we're starting all the way back from season one, episode one, and we're gonna take you through time. How you feeling Luke? You know this is actually the one thing that we agreed we weren't going to do or I wasn't going to do anyway. I wasn't going to go back and watch old up old seasons

and I had no problem with that. Chris and asked me not to do that when we started dating. Of course I did. Well, but here we are. The people asked. I know. We got to get them what they want. You guys asked, we listened. We read your notes, your DMs, your emails. This is what you wanted. As you know, we were recapping every Thursday season 10 of Interprompuros. Thank God that shit's over.

But I was like, let's just torture myself a little bit more. Let's go back in time to like when I was 28, you know. Yeah, why not? Oh boy, oh boy, here we go. Well, let's start up with a bang. So if you guys are watching this with us, if you remember this episode, you'll notice that it did not start with like the slow mo, like film opening, where we're tossing the petals and throwing the drink and all of that. It started, I think it was a good few minutes of just, oh, who are these people? And some of those of you that don't know,

this was because our season one episode one was an extension of Housewives of Beverly Hills. It was a two-hour housewives episode that just seamlessly transformed and transpired into Vanderpump rules and people all of a sudden were like, wait a minute, what are we watching? They were just having Brandy and Lisa from Housewives, they're having a dinner party at Sir and all of a sudden we're looking at these kids, right, as they like to call us, the Vanderkids. So yeah, aha, tricked ya, but well worth it. So it's funny how, what I noticed is that how that slow-mo intro showed up, like a few minutes into the episode.

Yeah, I didn't even think of it. Yeah, but you did see episodes on season 10, like half of them probably, right? Right. How it starts with the intro. So anyway, for those of you who don't know, that is why that was, oh boy, let's talk about nostalgia. So my favorite thing was like,

one of my favorite things about this episode is kind of how when it started, you have Lisa immediately, like, scolding and reprimanding Stasi for drinking a climax. And what's a climax? A climax. So Stasi has a drink,

and this is like one of those tidbits that like I know and it brings me back to like 2012, right? So Stasi's holding basically like soda glass or a water glass or like whatever and a non-alcoholic drink glass that we used to serve unless it was like a mojito and it's white wine, club soda, on ice with strawberry puree. So we would constantly drink these, but like make them think we were like the bosses think it was just strawberry puree and clubsoda.

Cause that's like way more tasty. You don't want to drink like Diet Coke all day or whatever. Yeah. No, and we were like Peter, Jax, Sanable. Give me some wine. Or we would bring those tiny little like, I call them beach bottles, you know, the little plastic bottles of wine that you can buy in like a for-packs. Yeah, I call them beach bottles, you know, the little

plastic bottles of wine that you can buy in like a for-pack. Yeah, the for-pack, yeah. The super cheap, like, Sutter Home or Gallo, like, whatever they are. And we would hide them in our little sur-purses because we had purses, not aprons, because that would totally ruin our vibe with those skimps dresses we were. And we would hide these bottles of wine in there or in our locker. then I remember like Peter starting to figure out the locker situation so in the women's bathroom at Sir there was a shelf with a photo that like leaned up against the wall like a giant like piece of art and there was just enough room to like squeeze these little mini bottles back there

so I would be like oh I have to have to go out of the bathroom, can someone watch my tables. And I'm like, Stasi, Katie, I left them in there for you. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge. That's what we did back in the day. So I don't know, that just brought like flooding so many memories back. And then we hear Stasi say like, you know, servers at Sir, you know, or servers in LA, I think she says is like, you know, we want to be actors, models, musicians, entertainment, blah, blah, and the service at other Hollywood restaurants just want to be, wait, or sit, sir. And then you have me being like, because we're all a really good looking. Oh, good cring. Oh, man. Oh, there's something to restaurants, way staff being good looking and its success. And

also other way staff and other restaurants wanting to work there. That's why I applied to the restaurant I worked at for the longest time in Colorado Springs. Because there were hot people. Yes. And so you knew you were going to make more money. Sort of. You were soup.

And I was single, you know, so that played into it. Oh, so I do feel like back in the day because we were younger. I mean, I was the oldest girl and I was 28 when we started. So you guys just to give you a little bit of like a heads up. The season one was filmed in 2012, aired in 2013, but the pilot we filmed was in 2011. So that's how long ago this was. But Luke, to your point, like, I was 28.

All the girls were younger than me. And Jack's was actually your age now. He was 32 when we filmed season one episode one. Okay, so he's what? He's 44. 12 years older than you. 12 years older than you. Yeah, wild. But just to your point about wanting to like hook up or, you know, if you were single and it's like, what do you do when you work at restaurants? You and I have talked about this early on in our podcast sex love about working at restaurants and it's like, we don't really have a nightlife because working is your nightlife, right?

And I guess if you don't close that late, the restaurant's I worked at close at like midnight. So if we, once we get done for us to change clothes and go out, we're all going out together and it's mostly way staff that's showing up at that hour at, between midnight and 1 a.m. That's why we have industry nights. And that is why Sir existed for us all to become family best friends and bang. I mean, that's what's up. Anyone out there that's worked in a restaurant is probably seen if not participated in the coworker hookups slash dating that happens.

100% okay really quick can we talk about our fashion of those days? Sheena Sockbun all of our bejeweled statement necklaces, a costume jewelry, Katie and I with our exact same brown short haircuts, both dating the tombs. The makeups would jump out most of me. Just the eyeliner. I was just, no, no, that's not the word I was thinking. It's just that different, that era. No, totally.

It really was. That was like what was in around that and was like the black eyeliner, like the big long earrings, the big statement necklaces, like the heaviness of the makeup, where nowadays, I don't know if it's our age, but I do feel like it's like more in style to be like a little more natural.

Yeah, I agree. Also, Peter looks exactly the same. Has an age today. He packed on some muscle, I'll say. When we had him on here, he's definitely bulked up, like his shoulders, he's like a linebacker now. I think. I mean, you're hitting Peter's sweet spot.

He's gonna love everything that you have to say right now. Well, if you listen to this, yeah. Hope you listen to this. Oh, we're gonna definitely have Peter on and I'm definitely bringing on some of my OGs to talk about this stuff, all of the OGs for sure. But also, so Peter literally looks exactly the same and still has way too many buttons,

unbuttoned on a shirt, when he works. You know, that's a thing for Peter. They show it, they show Jack's like, unbutton a button, but when I worked with Peter, it would be like, it's Saturday night, Peter, just like, unbutton, one more button. And like, it was damn near his belly button on the weekends. Those pecs are just so big, Peter. But also how Peter was kind of the center of like the sir dating friend diagram

that people always draw. Yeah, the coworker dynamic breakdown, right? Yeah. He's the one that gave that. Yeah, he's like, this person, this person, and they live with them. And while I dated Stasi and I also hooked up a Katie and did it, did it, did it, did da da da da. Here's the circus that is

Sir. The circus. Oh see what I did there. We all survived the circus. I know, kill me. I know. Just kidding. But also, so there was this moment where Jackson Tom, Santa Barbara behind the bar that made me laugh so much. I think one of them is like about to be done with work and counting the cash and he's like, Jack's is like, hey man, like, so you got a show tonight, like how's your band doing? And I can just see Jack's about to like explode with laughter on the inside, like he gives a flying fuck

about Tom's hit-holes band, because he never has. I cared back then, right? Of course, I was dating the fool, but Jack's just totally did not. And then when you and I were watching, you were like, oh, I see the nose difference now. Yeah. I do.

I did notice I, you know, you can't tell. No, not really. It's that one when you look at them, but it's watching episode. Okay, whatever. Qtiles at three, and I certainly don't think it was necessary. I guess I'm an old school kind of guy that, how a guy looks is certainly not going to get you a girl. I mean, like, it's LA, though. And also really quickly, I'm fairly certain

that Jack's, his first nose job was because of a deviated septum. I don't know why he got the other two. So we need to have Jack's on and ask him why so many nose drops. But I did notice, now that I've watched this for the first time in a million years, that his nose did look a little bit different.

And it looks better to know. So shout out to Dr. Leaky, you know what I mean? And then there was like this moment where that we were talking about like fame and stuff. Because it basically, if you guys notice and something Luke and I notice, this is like an introduction sort of episode. Yeah, it's all the intros.

It's just like get to know who we even are. And within that, Tom Sanable says, you know, like I wanna be famous, but I don't want like Michael Jackson type fame. We said he doesn't know, he didn't say he doesn't want Matt Michael. He doesn't know if he wants it. I don't know if I'm thinking Jack Michael Jackson type fame, but I definitely want to be famous. So Tom Sanable

You're not the king of pop Sorry to break it to you not the not a unicorn of a musical talent Unicorn musical talent For a daisy on my grave that was good. Rest in peace, me.

Oh, yeah, that's just- Well, we all sit at the table and we're doing our tip-outs because I think a lot of servers and bartenders out there in the world, whether you are an hour, you have been, you know that that's like, hell yeah, I'm off the clock. So for us, I will say, there was a lot in nostalgia

for me at Table 12 at Sir, that Big Wood in Table. That is where we, when Peter was like your cut, like meaning your cut for the night, your off work, it was like, fuck yes, Peter, I want my glass of wine, filled with the brim, I want my front fries with ketchup and Chipotle aily. I'm gonna take my damn shoes off, and I'm gonna sit here and wait till Katie's toss you get off work. And then we're all gonna drink together.

So give me my second glass of wine. Thank you so much. I do remember the feeling of getting cut. Tip out time. Yeah. Getting cut, yes. Just getting cut. I've never worked a job where we pooled tips though.

No. I have friends that did, but I've got that. So you felt sheen as wrath. To some degree, I do get it because you do work to the point where you get the better sections. Like at least that was like the hierarchy that I was in and the restaurants I did. So when you get these like, you get better preferential treatment

when you've been there longer and proven yourself. So you get these sections and you keep your money instead of being like, oh, you work putting you in a difficult section that is going to keep you running all night and then you're going to split your tips with people that it, that weren't. I mean, I'm going to be honest as servers at Sur, we had it pretty easy. Let's go. We had bartenders. I mean, I was a bartender as well, but like, we had food runners, we had bussers. We just had to look pretty. It was like customer service. Just chat them up, make them feel warm and welcome.

It was all about the service, about the ambiance, and of course the food and drinks and whatnot. And for me, I always chose the one big party, like the 24 person party, because I was like, I have one table the whole night. Give me the fuck out of here. There you go. See, I focused on turnover.

Well, I guess, and then like I said, I was working for myself, so I'm like, the more checks I close, the fuck out of here. There you go. See, I focused on turnover. Well, I guess, and then like I said, I was working for myself, so I'm like, the more checks, like clothes, the more money I make. Let's get people in, get them everything, good servers, and get them out of here. And it was like, this whole tip out thing was just like one more chip on the shoulder

for Sassy and Shina to fight about. We're gonna fight about the tip out. She's like, you don't work here, and it's not a good idea. But how crucial is she and this? Like for not being part of the main circle, she's so crucial to this, because she was sleeping with one of the housewives husbands. Yeah, that was a day.

That tighter and so well, and that was like an eye-opening drama thing. I guess, was that addressed in housewives of Beverly Hills, which she's shut up. So that is exactly what led us into Vandipum pools. It was a party that Lisa was having at Sir with the Housewives, I mean, they were there, and they were filming it for Housewives, and Chino was one of the servers.

And Brandy was like, what the hell? Like, I think they showed it in a quick flashback, but she was like, she dated my husband. So yeah, oh no, we could not have, Sheena was like the key to making Vanderpump happen. Yeah, her and Rachel O'Brien, who introduced Kristen and Tom Sanable. Kristen, well, we met Jacks together and then she and Jacks introduced me to Tom, yeah.

And then Katie and Sassy started working there in like 2009. Peter was already working there and then Schwartz moved here in 2010 and then I introduced him to Katie because he was our roommate and I introduced Jacks and Stasi in Vegas. Wow. Totally shit. Any who? You want to talk about my favorite scene? Yes, please.

Okay. So I was most entertained. Well, aside from, I had the most reaction to Sheena's sex sounds, that whole recording studio situation. Oh my gosh. Oh, cringe. So cringey, and I see her boyfriend shade, just like been in over backwards as her managers,

telling her to sound more like a porn star. Then a phone sex operator. Goodness. I was crazy. I am not knocking Sheena Honey Davies because that is a pop princess that I cannot live without. But the sex noises with her manager there, that's all in her manager. I am here for good as gold. Sheena Honey Davies all fucking day long. Maybe it's not what I like, Sheena Davies, like, ugh. Ugh. Okay, that's enough.

Okay, well, I mean, you know, she's a little Britney Spears, let's be honest. That's good imitation of her, but that's definitely not what she's talking about. No, it's not what it's not like. You also really like the Jack's Peter scene. Yeah, that's what I was really getting to. I just got distracted thinking about the sex.

So that sounds. But the Jack's Peter scene, when they're at the restaurant or bar. The parlor on the parlor. That's right. So they're kind of hitting on this blonde waitress that's coming up to them. And she's shutting them down.

Kind of. Well, yeah, they're hitting on her pretty hard. And she's shutting them down. And I just thought it was so funny for two reasons. One, because we're just introduced as Jackson Stasi in this relationship and Jackson's clearly hitting on this. Carol offers to buy her a drink. She comes to serve.

Yeah. And she shoots him down, says she's busy, and then... But Peter with the massage thing. Oh, yeah, that was odd. That made me laugh so fucking hard, like how terrible both of them equally were, like talking to a girl

Like what is wrong with you two? She was what did she say like? Oh, I'm from you know near Jack where Jack's his family's from in Florida And she's like no like I'm a Training to be a massage therapist right and and Peter's like so you know like all the muscles Yeah, and so it's doing this weird thing with his hands like he's gonna shoulder her up. She's kind of like, yeah, that's what that means. Oh, I love us in our younger years kind of. That was hysterical though. Oh, I wanted to point out that there was a scene, this is just like a dumb funny tidbit, but it says Jackson Stossy's apartment and it's actually the outside of the infamous

we call it 551. The infamous gross apartment that I lived out with Tom, Schwartz lived out with Tom, Jack Taylor lived out with Tom, then Ariana moved in, then Jeremy Maddox moved in. And this is the outside that we see. And the reason for that, if any of you eagle eyes noticed, not all buildings are willing to approve the outside being filmed because they don't want

kind of that attention on it. And honestly, long story short, that was what I learned is that's because they call it almost like the Hills Rule, the show of the Hills. So they filmed at a certain building in Los Angeles and it ended up becoming kind of a fanfare. Like people were like rushing to go there. So certain people's apartments, their landlords were like, nope, not here, sorry. I mean, that makes sense to me. I wouldn't want to live somewhere

that is a tourist attraction. Right. You know, you don't want to live inside Disney World. Right. Like you want to live your life, but you don't want people trying to figure out where you live. It's a little creepy. Exactly. Yeah, so anyway, that happened, but in that scene, that was actually a scene from the pilot

as well. And I can notice it because my hair, I didn't have those blonde tips. Like I had, Jack's was wearing a hat on it. But I remember because Stasi and Jack's kissed. So there are a couple of scenes not to give away the reality magic but to give it away. There's a couple of scenes in this episode that were from the pilot because the truth be told, Stacey and Jack's broke up, like I think it was like the day before filming. Yeah, and they were on again off again. Yes, they were. So everything you guys saw, like the big breakup at the Grove that will get to, you know, moving moving forward was also a

real break up, but they were like on and off and production. So the very first day of production, they were like, what the fuck do you mean you broke up? Like you, what, and Jack's of course wanted to be with them and she was like, I'm not going to, so they, in order to do this introduction, they had this footage from, you know, just months prior and they used that. And you will also notice this in a scene toward the end when we, it's a Stasi, Katie, myself, Jack's, Tom and Tom,

and we're all at the bar at Sir in Santa Balls like, making shots or something, the girls and I just got off work, but you can totally see how Jack's has long hair, Tom has long hair. That's the same scene where he says, who's he? Tom's animal. He makes a comment about, you know, we've come into work at Sur,

we don't need to know everything about your past. Yes, you're right. He says, people, I wrote the story, he said, people don't need to reveal all of the bad stuff they've done in their life. He's talking about Stasi, like, like you don't need to, I think he is. But he's just like, people don't need to reveal

all the stuff that they've done in their life. Little did he know. The Interrupt Rules will pull all the skeletons out of the closet. Jokes on you. I would love for someone to do a TikTok. And I'm not being a cunt, you guys, but I just think it would be really funny, because people make them of me all the time. But like to do a duet where it's Tom Sann of all saying that from season one episode

one, and then something from season 10, where it's like really bit him in the ass. I think that would be really funny. That scene specifically, you can definitely tell if you pay attention to haircuts on jacks and on Tom Sandeval, their hair's way longer and just different haircut and that scene than it was the rest of the episode pretty much. So you can tell that there's some sort of time change there. No, for sure. For sure. I mean, it was the very beginning, you know what I mean?

The gorgeous goddess, love and light woman that she is

and I feel like a lot of people back in the day are like, what the fuck happened to Tina? You guys Tina is alive and well. She is the most beautiful soul of almost anyone I've ever met my whole life. And my honest opinion is that the reason she did not continue on the show is that she's just too mature, too cool.

Not chaotic enough, yeah. Yeah, she just was not the gossipy fighting kind of, she's just not that kind of chick. Yeah. She's like, I'm not into this, I don't care. You guys figure it out. Yeah, she's a little bit older than us girls, but yeah, I think it's just the love and light. So that's why, good for Tina.

And then another thing I wrote down was like, when they're like, so Tom, like, what's your five-year plan? Kids with Kristen, right? Married in kids. Oh, well, my God. Like, nothing could be further from the truth. Like, why would he even say that? Why would he let those like words come out of his mouth? And then Kristen, what do you want in five years?

And I was like, I want to be known for the work that I do. Yeah. Not to be married to Peacock Boy. Oh, man. That's not a shout out to NBC. Noacock, boy. Oh, man. That's not a shout out to NBC. No, it's not. Like, the hair. I think Lisa is the one who maybe even coined that or one of the producers back in the

day. They're like, Tom's like a Peacock, the hair, but also he just like, like, show off. Like he has to like, show all of his feathers the way like a male Peacock does. Yeah. Don't like getting Peacocking. Toast. Yeah. So I've got to say, you know, they had to slip in some sex don't get it. Pea-caughting. Toast. Yeah.

So I've got to say, you know they had to slip in some sex appeal, right? Okay. What's the sex appeal? Well, they're talking about how the girls don't wear bras. Oh, correct. And you never cut. Show your taping stuff up, and they show you kind of pulling your dress on and like lean forward.

They showed a little flash of side boob there. Oh, I lived for a good side boob back then. I had like a 34B, and I was so tiny and I was just like, side boob there. Oh, I lived for a good side boob back then. I had like a 34 B and I was so tiny and I was just like, side boob all day. Mm. Okay. In my late 20s. Careful.

Yeah. But then at the very last scene, I think is one of my absolute favorites that really like set a precedence for like the dysfunctional relationship of Stasi and Jacks which was kind of like the, I don't know, it was like the theme of season one. It was like the driving force that kept the story going essentially.

Okay. But we're all at Tarte, the six of us, Stasi, Katie, myself, Jack's Tom and Tom, we're at this restaurant called Tarte having brunch. And it's like, I'm the devil and don't you forget it. You know, all these, these true saucy shorter taglines come out. But you guys, for those of you that are not aware, I showed Luke this today. If you go to YouTube and you search for Vander dolls, VA and DER dolls, you'll see Bravo actually had these Barbie dolls made of us back in the day.

They kind of look like our faces. And they did this whole series of like, I think it was like six episodes or something like that. And they would do the episodes as like the Barbie dolls in the miniature like wine glasses and all of these things. And they would like cut the audio over it. And every time I have ever in my life watched that scene like in reality, for real of us as humans,

I just can't not think of Vander dolls. That's hilarious. Dolls are actually pretty good. The faces they did a good job with. And it's like hysterical to watch this tiny little clip. She's like, Stasi, all you do is talking, talking, talking. Circle, circle, circles. Like, you know, I had to sleep in the couch last night.

Well, the dog, and they're bickering. The infamous quote, I am the devil and don't you forget it. Yeah, that one. You know what? That ties in too for me. You know how she says she is a descendant of a Swedish princess early on. So she likes to act like one. Right.

So, makes me think that she is like, I don't know, I just visualize her as being the villain in Frozen, being like this ice queen. Oh, like the sister? You mean, yeah, like Elsa? I guess. Yeah, with everything she touches, she has to wear gloves because if she touches you, then you freeze. Oh my God, she's going to fucking love that you said that.

And that's like one of Hartford's favorite movies. Oh, that's perfect. And I completely agree with you. I mean, it's Swedish. I'm like, OK, Princess, slash queen, and she is the devil. I don't know. And Ice Queen. And she and Ariana, I'm going to show you these photos

when we stop recording. She and Ariana had like an Ice Princess or Ice Queen, like, dual birthday party. One year. It was their very first year that they've ever, and maybe only year they've ever done like a dual birthday party. And it was so much fun. And we all dressed up like ice princesses. Huh. I had no idea. Oh, wow. Interessante. Oh my God. Well, what a blast from the past.

How did you feel about the episode overall? Overall. Yeah. As a first-time viewer. Since I did, I've done everything backwards. I met everybody before I ever saw an episode. And then I jumped in halfway through the most recent season because of Scan of All and the fact that that all played out from Chris and Amy sitting right next to Ariana at one of Tom's shows. It's like, okay, now I feel like I have to see what's going on, how this played out, what were people overlooking.

From that first episode though, I think about it if I was like in COVID and I was, overlooking from that first episode though. And I think about it, if I was like in COVID and I was just watching the first episode and they didn't have the what's to come at the end, I probably wouldn't watch the second episode. Yeah, it was much more of an intro episode and you did not see housewives and you weren't engulfed in the housewives of it

or like aware, you know? But when you did get to see like the season, like, here's what's to come, like the trailer. Yeah, that's what would have gotten me to turn on the next one after seeing that, be like, okay, okay, this is, I wanna see what caused that, or why, who did what to make that happen? Why, yeah, why is, what's the chaos?

Cause there's no real chaos in the beginning in the first one. And I didn't feel like, I guess, it's probably also because I'm just jaded having met everyone beforehand. Totally. Like, I don't know, but it didn't suck me in the first one until the end where the what's the comes like, okay, I want to see that, okay, I want to see that, okay, I'll keep watching. Yeah, and I'm excited for you to meet Lorley.

Okay. And... And I'm real life or else? No, no, no, no, no. I'm excited for you. I'm excited to see how you feel about it as like a season one new viewer. And I'm excited to look back on things

and just kind of think like, huh, like how did I feel about it then? Do I remember how I felt then? I'm sure I do. I mean, it's like a video yearbook, but like how did I feel about it then? Do I remember how I felt then? I'm sure I do. I mean, it's like a video yearbook, but like, how do I feel about it now? And like, what would I have done differently? Well, I would have gone to therapy. That's right.

That's for sure. It's a little sooner. Oh my God, what a weird, awesome blast this has been with you. And I'm glad neither of us are like, need band-aids or like, we're not scarred right now, like we're okay. I mean, I might need a shot of whiskey. That's fair, that is totally fair.
