Starting point is 00:01:12 I first of all, driving all the way over here on the 405 and everything, I was just barfing in a box the whole way here the whole way. I should stop drinking, but I'm not like I'm probably'm probably not. We have to have a little advice, you know? I like my margaritas. I like my margaritas, but I had a little too many margaritas last night, for sure. That's kind of a hero move to still, like, show up for the show. Well, she didn't, she thought she would be fine, because it's four o'clock. But you know when you have an all-day hangover and you just like, I know, like, where you're at.
Starting point is 00:01:43 If I even smell alcohol at this age, I'm hungover for two weeks. Oh, man. I'm done with it. It is it is just too much What did you get home last night? Oh, I didn't make it home last night Read between the lines guys, whatever that means. Okay. What time did you wake up this morning? You're all an hour ago Yeah, I took naps through the day and I thought I could sleep off the hangover and then I got in the car I'm like, okay I'm ready for the ready for the drive to the podcast and then all of a sudden I'm like, where's that box? I have a box in my car for donations a box of clothes and I threw my clothes out and I was like Barfing in the box all the way here all the way here
Starting point is 00:02:21 No, I don't know how I don't have a place to put the box like where I put the box In my car. Like- Taylor will take it! He'll sell it on eBay. Kendra's throw out? Sell it in jars. That's a good idea. You'll sell it in jars. Okay, Taylor.
Starting point is 00:02:35 Wait, so there's a box of barf just sitting in the car right now? There's a box of barf in my car right now. Do you want Taylor to go take care of it? Where are you parked? D1, I think it's a good- or P1? She forgot. How can you go where are you parked? Oh? D one I think it's a good P1 how can you remember where she's I'm like survive. I'm in survival mode right now. I'm like oh my god Well, we're gonna make this easy on you. Don't worry. Oh, yeah, no, I I'm so happy to be here today It's yeah, I really I it was survival getting here, but I really am happy to be here
Starting point is 00:03:01 I think one what something that people love about you is that you are so honest and authentic, whereas like, you know what I'm talking about with celebrity, there is a lack of honesty, and I think that's why people are so attracted to you. So I love that you just started the podcast off with that. Yeah, look, I think people are so caught up in, you know, brand and like their own branding and stuff like that,
Starting point is 00:03:24 that they edit themselves a little much, I've never fucking given a shit. Ever. I'm like, they're like, what's your brand? I'm like, I don't fucking know. Like Kendra. That's your brand though. I think your brand is being honest. That's your brand.
Starting point is 00:03:36 I don't know, like it's whatever it is. You know, I guess I have created a 20 plus year career in the entertainment industry just by being me. Just by being me. I think that's pretty cool. When you were a little girl, I told you I read your book, were you always like that, just honest, real,
Starting point is 00:03:56 this is who you are? Yeah, I've always been like this party girl and a girl that just like says it says it like it is and you know I hold you know I wear my heart on my sleeve as well though so that comes with a cost you're also really athletic right your whole athletic girl I already oh my god not anymore I used to be I I mean I could I could hit a ball again I can hit a ball and I can- Why do I remember you doing sports all the time?
Starting point is 00:04:27 I can golf. What sports did you play when you were a kid? I played soccer and softball and you know, and I was a beach kid. Okay, so you hit a ball like baseball. Yeah, I golf now. I just like walk the course and I golf and I drink my beer and I smoke my cigar.
Starting point is 00:04:42 I'm like an old guy now. Michael loves his cigar. I love cigars, you know, they up your testosterone Really? They it is the best Viagra if a guy's listening right now smoke a cigar and go fuck your wife Oh, I am telling you there is something different when he smokes a cigar like I think the blood flow Like I think the blood flow to the penis. Wow. Oh my god. I also think that there's something. We're going there.
Starting point is 00:05:06 We're going there. I also think there's just like something like masculine about smoking a cigar that like boosts your confidence. I don't know what it is. It's like a mindset. It relaxes you. And then yeah, there's the nicotine and all that. But yeah, I think once in a while, if you get a good cigar, it's a good thing.
Starting point is 00:05:21 Literally as of right now, I am considered a cigar smoker. You are? No, he just started after I started. Yeah, I I'm gonna go run out and buy some cigars. Oh my god. I'm telling you it's a it's it's like having sex with uh how do I say this nice? It's like it's like a an extra umph like the it grows I see I can feel it I'm just telling you it feels like it's like a Chia pet listen there are hard there have been some studies that Chia I never realized I like What happens to us women because I like my cigars like Good to have a little testosterone. Yeah, it is good It is good down there
Starting point is 00:06:01 I like having my cigar like like when I close a real estate deal, like that's when I love my cigar and my whiskey. And I just like, I'm just like a total old dude. Like just like- Like Winston Churchill over there. Cheers. I, it just feels like a successful moment. Like it's like a little bit of a high, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:06:21 Whenever I am celebrating something, it's same thing. You go out, have the cigar, relax. It's like something about it, you know? Yeah. And then they come home and I say, I'm ready. Don't ask me another day. It doesn't really matter if I have the cigar. Now, are you like, are you super like horny during pregnancy or? I definitely want to have sex. Like I love having orgasms and I think it's really good for the baby and I- I'm just gonna throw my brief out. I do, I want to have orgasms all day long, but it's, I'm gonna be honest,
Starting point is 00:06:50 it's not the sexiest, most attractive I've ever felt. Certainly not. I'm not one of those women that's like, oh, this is so fun. We look like the road trip scene where I'm like squishing him over here and like bouncing up on him like a ball. Like I don't feel the most attractive I've ever felt.
Starting point is 00:07:07 I hear you. You know what I mean? But I think when you look back and you're like, I look so cute because you do. I hope so. I hope so. You look so cute. And then just wait. I mean, I don't like, you get this flab, like this like.
Starting point is 00:07:18 I have the flab. It just comes with having babies. Afterwards, like, you know, the baby pops out, next year you have this like, gross, like, extra skin and flab and you're, that's when you feel like, you know, shit. It's not, I think that people need to be more honest about how gnarly it is after you have a baby. Like, it's gnarly on your body, on your psyche,
Starting point is 00:07:42 on your boobs, on your vagina, on everything. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's a beating it's funny because like I I have a 15 year old boy and a 10 year old girl and Wow, like, you know, I I gained so much weight with both of them I lost the weight and then now all of a sudden During the holidays. I'm like I step on the scale. I'm like, what the fuck? I am the same weight as I was when I was pregnant. I'm like, what am I doing? What is going on?
Starting point is 00:08:13 It's the alcohol for sure. I just think it's also the ebb and flow. For me, I don't always stay the same weight. It's like you ebb and flow, and there's chapters, and seasons, and the best thing that I did to get 60 pounds off post pregnancy, I mean a lot of you, is weightlifting. Oh yeah. Change my life. Yeah. But change my life. Yep. Change the whole game. Yeah. And then I eat a lot of meat and that really helped. Mm-hmm. But with my first pregnancy I didn't even like recognize afterwards. It's like you
Starting point is 00:08:43 feel like you feel like you're wearing almost like a like a fat suit yeah yeah no I hear you I hear you I had I had to get my skin removed because it was just like flat like you do tummy tuck I did a tummy tuck I did a full tummy tuck and that's the first time I ever told anyone publicly and my my flat I mean I'm telling you my skin was just hanging and I had to get it removed It was so bad a lot of women do it and I think that it's cool that you're open about it because The problem is is people like we'll see a celebrity and they're like, how'd she get fit so fast? And a lot of people are doing tummy tucks. Like that just is what it is. Yeah. Yeah
Starting point is 00:09:20 I feel like you gotta go to a good doctor you got to go to a good doctor. You got to go to a good doctor. But you got to, you know, it's really, you can't gain weight on it because it's like, it's tight and then you can't like. What does it feel like when you gain weight on it? It like tightens and it hurts a little bit. So it like pulls on, on the, yeah, it stretches the skin. Yeah. Yeah. But it's, it's been a life changer for me, like after having the babies.
Starting point is 00:09:43 And I love it. I love that I did it. I'd like a mommy makeover me, like after having the babies. And I love it. I love that I did it. I'd like a mommy makeover when I'm done having kids. Yeah. Would you do like vaginal rejuvenation? Something like that? Yeah. I wanna do that.
Starting point is 00:09:54 Okay, there's this guy. He's a friend of mine. I'm gonna put you in touch with him. He is the vagina whisperer. Are you serious? He literally, so he like makes over princes and princesses and- Is he over on Sunset? No, he's in Houston and Palm Beach.
Starting point is 00:10:11 What's that meme where like it shows the guy and it's like, you're probably wondering how I got here. Dr. Amir is the vagina whisperer and he makes the vagina look like it's 18. Wow. Wow. Okay. You should see it, like it's wild. I went into, I got a consultation one day
Starting point is 00:10:28 and I was like, what would I rather do? Would I rather do a little mini facelift or would I redo my vagina? I'm like, ooh, cause you know, I'm on a budget here. So that's not like, which one am I gonna go for? Or get my boobs removed. And I'm like, I love my boobs too much. So I'm like, what else? What am I gonna use this money for? Am I gonna get the bag?
Starting point is 00:10:47 So which one's more important to you? So I went and got a consultation for the vagina and over the face He's like he's like so what would you like would you like an 18 year old vagina or a 21 year old vagina? And I'm like Actually, he said 16. Oh He goes would you like a 16 year old vagina or would you like a 18 year old vagina and I didn't know if that was appropriate. So I it lied about the first time I'm like, oh That's so weird. Let me ask Michael and Taylor the guys. I'm not touching this fucking question
Starting point is 00:11:23 Taylor would you rather ask it a little lower facelift or a little vagina lift? Well, I guess it depends on who's asking and what their face looks like. No, Taylor, what's the answer that I know what you're gonna say? You're trying to say that this hypothetical person. Not Kendra specifically, I mean this hypothetical person.
Starting point is 00:11:42 Yeah. She's not a looker, but downstairs. No, she's a looker Okay. Okay. So if that's the case then yeah, then Sure sure what? Yes, yes to what I'm just dodging the question one vagina Moments in life as a man you got a you got a dog you got dodged We've everyone in Hollywood is getting and I was was talking about this at a conference the other day, they're getting lower face lifts and no one's saying anything.
Starting point is 00:12:08 Yeah. That's the thing now everyone's doing in secret. Imagine though if you were a husband and you didn't know your wife did it, and all of a sudden you start to have a section where you're like, whoa, babe, what'd you do? But it's like, I've asked people that have done it before and they're like, women, and women are like, oh my my god it changed my life because they like they really redo it so that you get them ultimate pleasure and also they like do something to the muscle yeah it's like they restore the muscle I'm so interested in it it's at NY Taylor at
Starting point is 00:12:39 NYC gyno is the guy okay he's come on the podcast. He's OK. He showed us like the he showed he brought vaginas. He showed us the before and after of like the silicone badges. It was interesting. Wow. Just like cough, like the pain thing. Yeah, he cuts everything. That's great. You want to go for steak tonight?
Starting point is 00:13:01 Yeah. The roast beef almost almost choked. I've got a statement to make. I was gonna say, I don't care how loose the girl's vagina is, I like her for her. That is, oh. Really cute, Taylor. That's honest. I could never be so shallow.
Starting point is 00:13:14 I'd be like, oh, like I like her, but her vagina's a little too loose for me. Are you single? I am single, single. Single, single. I've been single for seven years now, or like I've been like divorced and like single for like seven years.
Starting point is 00:13:24 I've attempted, I've explored little things here and there but like I have I have not like been in a relationship for seven years. What does it take to like be your boyfriend? Like what are your requirements? I'm gonna have to real it's it's about me now right so it's more about like I'm so used to being single now you know it's gonna have to take a it's gonna be a lot it's gonna be a lot like I don't I'm not settling for you know whatever Joe Schmo you know I yeah I'm so used to being single now like you actually get used to it so I wasn't used to it the first few years of
Starting point is 00:14:05 after divorce but now I am and now I look at men and I'm like I don't know like I I freak out with I freak out thinking about commitment and you know committing to the wrong person or like you know it getting boring even I get really nervous about life getting boring you you know? So like, even though I loved my marriage with my ex-husband, I loved it so much, it's just that, like, what is life telling me now? Like, I have to really be honest with myself nowadays, rather than like, go with the flow of society,
Starting point is 00:14:38 like, oh, I guess I'm supposed to find a man, da, da, da, da. But like, I think I'm really used to it and to the point where I'm so satisfied with my own self. Now I get around a little bit, you know, and I have some boy toys out there, but that's all that they are, you know. It's on your terms. It's on my terms, you know, when I don't have my kids one week or one night
Starting point is 00:15:07 or whatever it is, and I just have fun. I'm just trying to enjoy as much as I possibly can. Now, when I, you know, and I do like my space, I like to be messy when I'm, I'm kind of like, I'm not an A type type person. I'm not an OCD person. So I don't want someone like nagging me or, you know, the person has to have fun. The person has to be a fun person or I get bored.
Starting point is 00:15:35 So it's gonna, you know, it's gonna be a long process to find that right person. It's gonna be a long. I also think you were in a relationship so young that was like, had a microscope on it I know and then from there you went and got married What age did you move to LA and move into the play where me 18 years old? Yeah, the fact that you were 18. It feels like you were 21
Starting point is 00:15:56 I know like when you look back on it because we used to watch the show right that was I also watched Kendra on top though too. Oh, cool. Yeah, I watched all of them. But yeah, you're right. You wouldn't think like all those people are only 18 at the time. Well, I was. Oh, I know. Yeah, not the other two. She was the youngest.
Starting point is 00:16:16 How old are the other ones? In like 20s, in the 20s and stuff. If you were to knowing everything you know after everything you've been through and you were to tell your 18 year old self something What would you tell them? You know what you're doing the right thing. You're doing you're you're on the right track you're doing the right thing and even my closest like Friends that are like godly or like people that go to church or like my very very amazing Real estate partner like they know I struggle with some shame
Starting point is 00:16:47 and regret a little bit in life, but I'm like, what else was I supposed to do? I was 18, I was about to get knocked up by this 20-something year old, this guy, and it was a choice I had to make. Was I gonna be a stripper in San Diego and get knocked up by this guy like or take this one-way ticket to LA and move into the Playboy Mansion and come on. Meaning like at the time in San Diego your
Starting point is 00:17:17 circumstances were that that you would you would have made that decision? Those were the only two choices I had in my life at that moment. I didn't have college. I had none of that. So I had to make the right decision. And I do, I'm like, you know what? I know myself. I know who I am and I know myself and I know I can survive. Let's take that trip to LA and never look back.
Starting point is 00:17:39 And were your parents in your life at that time or did you, and what kind of relationship did you have if so? I, I, yeah, I, I don't, I never, I had pretty problematic relationships with my, with my, during my upbringing. Okay. So I never really, you know, I was a runaway. I pretty much, you know, I've been alone. I've been on my own for a long time making decisions, you know, and being all
Starting point is 00:18:05 crazy and stuff like that. When I turned 18 and I moved out, like I had this option to get pregnant and like strip, which was getting really, you know, old after a few months. Finally Hugh Hefner calls one day and was like, Hi, this is Hugh Hefner, would you like to move into the Playboy Mansion and be one of my girlfriends? I was like, wait, what? How did he find you? So I, while I was living with this boy in San Diego, I took this, I did this photo shoot and this photographer sent my photo in to the playboy mansion and
Starting point is 00:18:48 to the playboy and I had no idea and next thing, you know, I Get this call Hi, would you you know and then long long story short? I found out what happened like The rumor was that heff walked by and there's only one photo left out this pile of photos It was mine and he walked by and he picks it up and he says who's this girl? so that that was the story on his end and and I I'm so Grateful for that opportunity. It was you know for me amazing and it was healthy for me. It was happy for me
Starting point is 00:19:24 I was safe and You know, it's taboo to the world because they don't really know what really you know went on there It's only in my opinion. It was only in my perspective is only one party ever every few months and the rest was like, okay, we all had sex with Hugh Hefner once a week. And that's the taboo is that we had sex with a 70 year old. Did it feel like a transaction in order to be in that environment? Yeah, it definitely felt like a transaction, but I was willing to take it.
Starting point is 00:19:59 Well, I also think- And I'm happy I did. I'm happy I did. People have to see the other perspective, which is stripping is probably feels like a transaction too. It's almost like death by a thousand cuts with stripping. It sounds like you were kind of like, I'd rather go the Hugh Hefner route and not have to do it every single night.
Starting point is 00:20:14 Exactly, exactly. I just took that one way. I was 18, I took that one way ticket, never looked back. And it was the best decision of my life. And living at the mansion for me was a safe environment. It was it was a healthy environment I got to I got room service 24 7 I could eat whatever I wanted and I and I would eat healthy I would have chefs making me salads like every you know five times a day You know like anything I wanted I got and the parties were fun
Starting point is 00:20:42 They weren't even right I I've been a worse parties outside of the mansion than I ever did at the mansion. Like parties were not that crazy compared to parties I've been to like afterwards. Quick break to talk about one of our favorite partners and that is Armra Kalaustrum. We live in an environment our biology was never designed for. EMFs, artificial light, seed oils, microplastics, endocrine disruptors, chronic stress and disease, and so much more. We are constantly having to battle off all of these things that our
Starting point is 00:21:13 evolution just never accounted for. This is why Lauren and I love Armour Colostrum so much. What if I told you there was a single supplement that you could take every single day with water or even on its own that would strengthen your immune system, fortify your gut health, ignite metabolism, vitalize hair growth, enhance skin radiance and fuel performance and recovery. Well, that supplement exists and it is Armour Colostrum. Ever since we've had the founder of Armour on this podcast to learn all about the amazing things they're doing over there, we have been adamant customers. We use our own code, we shop, we take the product every single day.
Starting point is 00:21:43 Our dogs take it, our kids take it, Lauren and I take it, and we absolutely love it. Like I said earlier, all of these modern assaults disrupt cellular signaling, negatively impacting gut health and accelerating aging. Armor Colossum revives cellular signaling, bolstering our health from within to defend against everyday threats, and Colossum is nature's first whole food with over 400 bioactive nutrients that work at the cellular level to reactivate your body's innate capacity to regenerate and thrive. What I love about this product is it's a simple powder. It comes in these to-go packets or in a big tub that you can just add to water or even
Starting point is 00:22:15 take right out of the scooper. It tastes almost like a little milk dud and we really enjoy it. Of course, we've worked out a special offer for our audience.

Finding trustworthy, clean, and effective supplements these days is hard. It is way too hard. Too many brands hide behind fillers, mystery additives, and fake natural flavors. But here's the thing, caring for your body shouldn't be that hard. Too many brands hide behind fillers, mystery additives, and fake natural flavors. But here's the thing, caring for your body shouldn't be that hard.
Starting point is 00:22:48 This is why Lauren and I have been lifelong fans of Symbiotica. We have had the founders of Symbiotica on this podcast, I think five or six times. They may hold the record because there's such a wide assortment of health and wellness topics that we can cover with them. And also because they are doing incredible things when it comes to adding high quality supplements and vitamins to our everyday lives. That's why we absolutely love telling people all about Symbiotica. Symbiotica is changing the game with clean science-backed supplements and this is wellness in its most absorbable form. For the mothers and the fathers listening, Mother's Day is coming up.
Starting point is 00:23:19 Think about taking care of yourself a little bit more with Symbiotica. They have such an incredible assortment of products. I personally love their magnesium L3 and H, you can add it to coffee. Everyone is not getting nearly enough magnesium. Their vitamin C is one of the best on the market. I take it when I travel, I take it every day. I just feel great knowing that I'm getting
Starting point is 00:23:36 the right vitamin C into my system. They also have incredible products for sleep and overall health and energy. I think they make one of the best vitamin D3 products on the market, as well as one of the best vitamin Bs. What I love about their products is most are liposomal delivery, which is going to help your body absorb the nutrient supplements, vitamins much better. And lucky for us, we have a special discount so you can give it a try.

We have had the founder of Fatty15, Dr. Stephanie Van Watson on this podcast. And as soon as we spoke to her,
Starting point is 00:24:21 we knew we were onto something with her groundbreaking C15 product, also known as Fatty 15. And that is why I'm so excited to continue sharing with you the incredible scientific breakthrough to support our long-term health and wellness. C15 is the first essential fatty acid to be discovered in 90 years. And get this studies have confirmed that it's three times better, broader and safer than Omega 3. The origin story is a crazy story. Fatty 15 co-founder Dr. Stephanie Van Watson discovered C-15 as the first
Starting point is 00:24:48 essential fatty acid to be found in over 90 years while working with the US Navy to continually improve the health and welfare of aging dolphins. If this sounds crazy, I highly suggest you search Dr. Stephanie Van Watson, Fatty 15, The Skinny Confidential and listen to the first episode we did with her. We give so much context behind this story. But long story short, it's pretty simple. Essential nutrients keep our cells healthy, which keeps us healthy.

It's so interesting because two people can have the same, maybe not same, but similar experience.
Starting point is 00:25:54 And we've had other people come on the show who were a part of that and they had a different experience. Yeah. And it sounds like you looked at it as almost like You felt almost like secure. Oh, I couldn't have been happier But huh, I knew it was not going to be a forever thing So I had to figure out what I was gonna do afterwards So I'm like, I'm not gonna this isn't gonna last forever living at a Playboy mansion is not lasting It's like what am I gonna do afterwards? So I started setting myself up. I started booking my own work and I hustled my ass off to you know get my new show, to book appearances around the world, you know shows. I was just hustling.
Starting point is 00:26:39 Do you know, people don't realize how much the filming is like it's all day right? Oh the filming was all, yeah the filming was a lot a lot of our work. We did signings We did I have you know I have bad experience when it comes to the business side of things not you not half though health was a very awesome Guy to me if you were to describe half to someone who had never met him. How would you describe him? He was a very very He was a generous nice person a very, very, he was a generous, nice person. A very nice person.
Starting point is 00:27:08 I don't see him in any other way. He was just a very nice person to me. And what about the other girls at the mansion? What was that like, having all these different personality types? That's the part that was hard. I wasn't really a girl's girl at that point in life. I was more of a boy's, like a girl's girl at that point in life.
Starting point is 00:27:29 I was more of a boy's, like a guy's girl. I get that. I'm not a sleepover girl. I get it. And so we never really bonded. I was 18 and there were like, and there was two and then me. They were like, do, do, do, do. I'm like this, right? I was always the like the third wheel.
Starting point is 00:27:44 It was uncomfortable a lot of the times it felt Really weird like I felt like I didn't fit in you know and then I just Decided just to go with that during the show process. I'm like well I definitely don't fit it I'm just gonna be me and see how this works and rather than try to fit in and be like You know like I didn't I felt like I, I felt like I was a complete odd man out of the whole situation, even though I was like enjoying the ride.
Starting point is 00:28:12 You did, you have friends though that did, like I saw on your show, like Jessica Hall was on there with you, like you made friends. Yeah, so I did. Jessica is my best friend. She's an amazing friend. She knows everything I've been through.
Starting point is 00:28:27 She knows all the things. She knows all the truth. She's seen it all. She's seen it from her perspective, everything. So it's just nice to have her in my corner and be there. I have nothing but good things to say about the other two. I have nothing bad to say about them. There's nothing bad to say. So I'm not
Starting point is 00:28:46 a negative person like that. But I have my right to have that experience of feeling left out, you know? And like I didn't feel, I felt the young, like the young one. And like, I felt like completely like I didn't have friends other than Jessica that came in every now and then so how would you like? What's a typical day when you're living there? Like how would you occupy your time? Workout workout workout workout running Canyon spin class like you know all I did was work out and eat work out eat we would be I would be like Prepare, you know preparing for the next party or something like what am I gonna wear for the next party?
Starting point is 00:29:30 That took a little bit, that took a like, you know, a week out, a week out of the time. What else? Like it just, it was like heaven. Like it was a heavenly experience for me. Like there couldn't have been a better experience. And you know, there's two things that can be right You know like people are like how can you say that when you have a daughter or whatever? Like I've heard people's you know, say how can you like what would you tell your daughter or whatever?
Starting point is 00:29:55 And I'm sitting here like, you know two things can be right. I I had to do what I had to do I had to survive. I was in a survival mode. I chose what I chose. I made the choice to move into the Playboy Mansion, have sex for money with Hugh Effner and live, I actually lived an amazing five years of my life. I couldn't, I have no, I have no regret but to tell my daughter like oh you like, what would I tell her? It's just like, I wouldn't want her to be in that position of having to needing, you know, having to choose that you've created a life circumstances for her where she doesn't need to make that decision between stripping or that I'm already talking to her about college. She's 10. I'm like,
Starting point is 00:30:41 you're going to college, like, you know, so there's like big changes. There are definitely, I'm rewiring certain things that could, that, you know, that. Well, it just sounds like she has more options than you. Definitely. Because of what you've done. Definitely. Definitely. I had to do what I had to do and I have no regrets about that.
Starting point is 00:31:01 And I don't have, I honestly cannot say anything bad about my experience living there my choices were mine I you know and to be honest with you like the sex was blob so lame and I and I wish and it was like I feel like I wasn't smoking cigars I felt like I was robbed of like an experience or something like people are thinking someone night, this new guy that I met, who I kind of like, he's like, I would never would have guessed this. I never had an orgy there. I've never had an orgy there.
Starting point is 00:31:33 Wait, what? It was just like, no. Is it like you've never had one or they just weren't happening there? It just wasn't happening. It was like one on one activities. And in my era of being there, so like every now and then I'm like, you know, there's something lacking in my life. Maybe I need to, you know, experience an orgy or something. Wait, the way I imagine it in my head is not that.
Starting point is 00:31:52 There was not orgies. I've never had an orgy at the Playboy Mansion. Damn. Nope. Now, it was a train. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What's the difference between a train and an orgy? A train means the man goes down and fucks one girl after the other, correct? And an orgy is like a big
Starting point is 00:32:11 plethora of just women and men. The girls weren't hooking up with each other, it was just a train. No! And I feel robbed of an experience. Like, nowadays I'm like, geez, like, there's, I feel like I should have been able to experience that at least one time in my life. Yeah. But are people like- No, I have to say, if I was at the Playboy Mansion having sex, the girls are so beautiful, I'd be like, bye Hugh. I know, but everybody was like-
Starting point is 00:32:43 I don't think you get that option, Lauren. I think the room service ends at that point. That in my head is how it goes. I think the chef salads end if you say no. So you don't get to hook up with other girls. You just have to get like fucked by half. That's pretty much it and that was it and we all we each had like one minute to like do our thing and then the clock was right there. I was like five four three two Okay, okay thing and then the clock was right there I was like five four three two okay okay okay time for some french fries if you guys were having sex with a girl and she
Starting point is 00:33:14 was looking at the clock like Kendra saying five four three two one I get to have some french fries what would that do to your egos did a big bullhorn go off when the clock hit zero? Taylor, your clock would only say 20 seconds, because let's be honest with yourself. Put a minute up on the clock, let's do it. How do you know who goes last? Oh, we all knew, it was like a routine.
Starting point is 00:33:35 It's like a dance routine, it's like, wow, this person's gonna go first? Yeah, yeah. Is it youngest to oldest? It's like, girlfriend one goes now and then girlfriend two waits for and then girlfriend three was like third and then... Wait how does he... hold on hold on I have a question about this. How does he... so he just he finishes like five times? No. No that's what I'm saying who goes last? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:01 Do you not get what I'm putting down here? No I don I don't understand who's the last person is the one that's the one that's not finishing in each girl this guy's going multiple times in one minute and recovering in a minute he's trying different flavors and then he's finishing pretty much pretty much did he ever just like take one and go ah this is I'm just gonna finish with this one and not eat and the other even the other girls waiting. It's a routine every time it was the same routine no girls got I never got with like you know there's maybe one time this Russian girl came in she's like I just want to eat you I'm like ooh hey
Starting point is 00:34:40 like you know I don't know where you came from, but yeah, that sounds better. That's as close as I got, but God, the way I imagine it in my head sounds so different. I could like do like a, I did not imagine like a shot clock. I did not imagine that. That seems like a lot of pressure. I thought there was like girls everywhere dancing, having fun. Like it was like an interactive experience. Is this routine down to like the day, the hour, same every week or is it just like
Starting point is 00:35:06 on a whim? Yeah, he has a pretty, yeah, we would go out once a week to like a bar or a restaurant and then he'd pop his little Viagra before we left. It was like routine because it had to be because of the Viagra. Okay, all right, I get it. You know what it also sounds like talking to you? It seems like he was like your true friend in the mansion. He was a great friend to me.
Starting point is 00:35:29 We loved each other in a different way. Like I was not dating you. Come on, I had like boys, like I had boyfriends. I had so many boyfriends. How could you not? You had to have fun. Yeah, I had to. Looking the way you look.
Starting point is 00:35:40 But that's why I was ready for marriage at that time because I was like god like I I've already dated I went through my real dating process while I was living at the mansion never really got out But I I definitely had my fun. How do you meet your first husband when you're at the mansion? Was that simultaneous? He was there. Yeah, he was he he went to the mansion to play He played the playboy golf tournament and we met then we met then Did you like him right away? I loved him right away. I loved him. I knew he was the father of my kids I like knew it like he and what does he say like you're he's like you're dating you have to already didn't care No, no, no, he didn't like there's something there and like nothing else mattered. So
Starting point is 00:36:23 Yeah, but that's that see, yeah then later on like you know we had a great marriage, we got divorced seven years ago and that was that took me down to my knees. It took me down into it the darkest deepest depression. So and that was just because like you know there's a lot of that there were problems that came along with this The decision I made to move into the playroom mansion doesn't mean I had a bad time and meant that there were Consequences later on down the line Immensely mentally like you know and and doing the TV shows and stuff like that. I struggled with a lot of PTSD, you know, just being,
Starting point is 00:37:09 I had years where paparazzi were just like, you know, just like on me. I was gonna ask what would happen when you guys would go out publicly at that time. Cause I don't, for the younger people, when you went on a TV show like that in the past, it was tabloids, it was everywhere. Do you remember what it was like
Starting point is 00:37:25 when you guys would go out? Yeah, yeah, we would go out and we were we were at the hot, you know, the hot bunch at the time and we would go do signings and you know, people were people were in love with us, you know, for a period of time for a period of time. Are you talking about the are you talking about the playboy? No, I'm just talking about like when you guys would go out with half and like with them Oh, it's half Yeah, and like what would happen from a from a paparazzi because you said you have PTSD from paparazzi never popped up Well, I was thank God because I would have got caught with all the guys I was with so the Paparazzi only popped up after I left the playboy mansion. Okay, so that's when the paparazzi only popped up after I left the Playboy Mansion. Okay.
Starting point is 00:38:10 So that's when the paparazzi, paparazzi started following me and they started like really getting like, it was a lot, intense amount of paparazzi on me at the, like right when I left. And so right when I had, I got pregnant right away and got married right away, it was a huge, you know, it was huge. It was huge news. Like this girl from Playboy is now married, having a kid. We got to get the first pictures. We got to, you know, so that was, that happened for years.
Starting point is 00:38:40 And later on, I'm telling you, two years ago, I had this horrible psychotic breakdown. Like, I had PTSD, I had severe depression, darkness, and I don't know where it came from. It was like real PTSD. I was like, I thought I was hearing cameras. I was like, oh my God, oh my God. And you know, now I'm not filming anymore
Starting point is 00:39:05 and the paparazzi are barely on me. But every now and then I'm like, oh my god, do I hear them, I hear them. It's like, it created some pretty intense mental issues. Well, I think what you've been through is so unique. It's not like you can call a friend and explain it to someone. Nobody relates. You can't explain it to anyone. No and nobody has
Starting point is 00:39:28 empathy for a slow. No no and not a lot of people if you and you can't like talk about it you can't really talk about it because people are like ah she signed that's what she signed up for. How can you know what you signed up for at 18? Yeah it yeah so I understand all that but but you know, it did, you know, I'm just here to tell my story that I did, I ended up with some mental issues afterwards. So. And what, how did you know that you had had mental issues and how did you know how to solve the mental issues? There's only one way. And that was to the hospital. I had to go to the hospital and I stayed, I was in the hospital for a few days and
Starting point is 00:40:08 I just slept and I just slept and I slept and it was the best sleep I needed in a long time and then I had to get some intense therapy and some some counseling and some psych Psychiatry and it was like a lot of work to like rehab my brain. My brain was in such distress. So I did that and I committed myself and I did the work. And so now I feel a lot better, a lot better. You feel relief. Yeah, definitely. I feel great, I feel great now.
Starting point is 00:40:39 Sometimes I think people, and I don't know if this was your experience, but like even having babies, it can show up years later like the postpartum Mixed with everything you've gone through and the post-traumatic stress. It's like a it's like a perfect storm. Yeah Definitely definitely my my kids like yeah, I did struggle a little bit with some postpartum depression I got back on my feet after that but There was nothing like what I experienced
Starting point is 00:41:05 a couple of years ago, like two years ago now. It was the most intense, the scariest. I went through psychosis and I was just like, I didn't know where I was, I didn't know what was going on. I thought camera, I thought everyone was an actor because when we were filming, everyone played a part and stuff like that. So there was just like this horrible.
Starting point is 00:41:27 Horrible state of mind, I was in wherever I thought everybody was like after me or like it was so scary. The reason I like doing the show is because we get to talk to people and hear their story and their intention in long form content. So you can really understand a person. It makes sense to me that your nervous system, when you're a little girl is in fight or flight, and then you move to the Playboy Mansion and you're in fight or flight in a different way.
Starting point is 00:41:54 And then you marry Hank and the paparazzi is following you everywhere and you're pregnant and I can only imagine that energy. Where you're still in your adolescence. To me, it's like, I can totally see how you could have a psychotic break from your nervous system being so burnt out. Definitely. It makes sense. Definitely.
Starting point is 00:42:14 And then, but the one thing I'll tell you, and I'm not a religious person, but the one thing that got me up off the ground is the thought of God. And I'm not a religious person. Like I have my fun, like I'm like more, you know, I'm this angel and the devil every day on my, you know, in my life. But God, like, you know, the thought of God really was a great coping mechanism for me.
Starting point is 00:42:38 And I really leaned on that and found a group, a Bible study group, and it felt very comforting, it felt very calm, it felt so positive, it was so nice and it was a group of women, felt like a bunch of moms that were like nurturing me. Do you say you're not religious because maybe a part of you feels like you're not worthy of being welcomed into that faith? I don't know if I could commit to the rules of, of, of the Bible and all that stuff. So I'm a fun person and I feel like I sinned too much. Well, cause the reason I, the reason I asked it in that way is it sounds like you have a picture in your head of somebody who would fit the religion or religious
Starting point is 00:43:23 profile and maybe in your mind, you feel like you don't fit that profile. But I think if you're asking for God's help that it's- Good question. I'm going through a spiritual war for sure. It's definitely what I'm going through at the moment. Like I'm probably, yeah, cause I don't go to Bible study anymore cause I felt guilty of certain things that I had to go and do, which is have sex with a guy one night and I'm like, oh, I don't want to go to Bible study, I don't want to face this. I don't know, I sinned too much.
Starting point is 00:43:57 But I have these books, these God books with these positive messages. And it really, every morning I wake up, I read this book. And it's just so nice. And it really gets me through the day. I also think with being religious or spiritual, like sometimes it doesn't have to be like a group thing. Like sometimes you can just wake up in the morning and just be alone with it. Like, and sometimes that's just comforting
Starting point is 00:44:24 like you're saying, itself. Yep, yep, yep, exactly, exactly. And it's really pulled me out of a dark place, the thought of God, and having a relationship with God. It's really pulled me out of a dark place. And it's, you know, and I now know how to cope during certain times now. I think that's a really healthy way to think about spirituality or religion. My problem with that area is when people get self-righteous with it.
Starting point is 00:44:53 I think that's an unhealthy way to have a relationship with spirituality or religion. And when you think that you're better than because of that, but I think the way you're viewing it, I think that's how most, if I could wave a wand, that's how I wish more people would look at spirituality and religion. It's something that's helping you cope with life and get through life in a positive way. Not a perch where you can stand and judge others. Definitely. I feel so alone every day of my life.
Starting point is 00:45:18 I don't have, at the moment I have no relationship with either parent like I'm just I just have my kids and myself and a few amazing friends and God and It's just you know God is very important now in my life It's very important, but not that I'm going to be changing into and you know Morphing into this like God like none or something like that's that's the opposite lops I don't get why you just simultaneously Like can't be both like why can't you have fun and pop us but also? Spiritual I don't get why it can't be a little bit more like fluid because I in my opinion I think that
Starting point is 00:46:03 They're basically I think what they're saying is you follow the rules, you're going to be at the ultimate happiness. You're going to be at the ultimate joy of your life. So I can understand that. Like, okay, I guess I have to find a man at some point and just commit. And I do want the guy to have a faith-based, I want the guy to be faith-based, not religious, but someone who has the same idea, like has a positive idea of God.
Starting point is 00:46:35 So that's one thing that has to happen. I think you might meet someone in church. I'm predicting it. I'm going to give you my clairvoyance. I think you're going to meet someone in church and I think it's gonna surprise you. Okay. That's what my privacy... Do you have this like vision or something? I think you're gonna meet someone in church and it's gonna be like it's it's gonna be so opposite than your past experiences that it's going to be like it's gonna be like shocking to you. It's
Starting point is 00:47:00 gonna surprise you. I don't know why. I think she's going to have to come through the church doors for someone to get to me. I'll tell you, like I have sex every now and then, but to have a relationship with me and my kids, I think that person is going to have to come through the church doors. I don't like, I think it's great to have sex if you're single. If I was single, you have to have sex if you want to have sex. I agree. you have, like, have sex if you want to have sex. I agree. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:47:28 Test out different flavors. Yeah, I agree. I'm, trust me, I've got some good, you know. Careful, Taylor's getting excited. Yeah, yeah. He's getting excited. Yeah, but I've had my fun. I've had my fun.
Starting point is 00:47:44 Going back to when you were married and you were on the show, what was it like to then do your own show with your husband and your kids and put that journey out there after you had already done Girls Next Door? It was a very different, different, different thing. Good or bad? It was good. It was good. My experience filming my show after the Playboy Mansion was good.
Starting point is 00:48:09 I think that I was, you know, because the show is called Kendra, Kendra on Top, Kendra, you know. So I had felt the pressure. I felt there's an enormous amount of pressure on me to be the entertainer. So I had to I had to entertain. I had to bring the show home. I had to be the headliner. I had to and then you know I think that caused some problems in my relationship and my relationships. When the cameras turned off, it felt like very lonely, you know, felt very
Starting point is 00:48:45 like weird and... It felt weird to you or to your like friends because you weren't performing like the WB Frog. It was just back to reality. It was just back to reality. And when we're on the show, like I did my best to try to, I do my best to try to imitate exactly my real life. Like I don't, if they, you know, if a show comes to me and they're like, okay, we want you to, we want you to do this today or do that today. I'm like, no, that's not what I would do. Sorry. That's not, that's not, that's not what Kendra would do. So I would like to tell my own story.
Starting point is 00:49:22 I had an amazing production team, Prometheus, who does ancient aliens and who did Girls Next Door. And they followed me around and it was a blessing and a curse to do that. It was playing, we had the devil in our home, which meaning that we allowed the world into our home and the media. And so it got really scary for a second. It got really... But I knew how to be strong. I'm like, you know, like this is, we're taking on the world, babe.
Starting point is 00:50:06 You know, let's take on the world. We're getting all this money. Like it was all about just for me, like hustling and making that money. And like, I worked so hard. And so it was all about hustling and making as much money as possible to live our lavish
Starting point is 00:50:25 lives in Calabasas. I burned out so many times and I guess I forgot about marriage, real life marriage, and then the marriage ended, you know? And so I'm not saying I'm blaming myself or I'm not blaming him. I'm just blaming like. This is what happened. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It just, it definitely is a blessing and a curse to do TV. I think I
Starting point is 00:50:48 may have put a little too much personal stuff out there. So I think that that was a very dangerous thing to do. What are you referring to? I can't, I watched the show and I can't think of something where I was like, Oh, that's she overshared. What do you mean? There are moments where, you know, the, there was a moment where, you know, like there were a couple moments, you know, like a couple moments that happened. Like in your relationship with your kids, with you,
Starting point is 00:51:15 or like, you don't have to tell me specifically if you don't want to, what, like, was it with someone? It was just raw. It was too raw. And I, I was so exposed and I you know, my family was exposed and we were all very raw and Our we had raw emotions. No one was trying no one was really telling me how to feel and act and what to do and we were all just raw and and So when you when you're so open to the world,
Starting point is 00:51:45 I mean, it can bite you back really hard. And so there's some regret when it comes to show business. When did you decide, like, I'm not going to put myself out there anymore and I'm going to do something else? And what did that look like? What did the transition look like? So I did a real estate show a couple years ago and that lasted two seasons
Starting point is 00:52:08 and it was a great show and we had a great time. It just I had severe PTSD filming that and the audience could tell the audience was like whoa like you know you look a little sad and I'm like yeah yeah, I'm like shaking. I'm like while I was filming because it from the moment Kendra on top ended till that moment, there was years there was there were years. So I healed my brain in a way that wasn't. It wasn't meant for TV anymore. So then when TV came back, I was like, oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God, who am I supposed to be? What am I was like oh my god oh my god oh my god who
Starting point is 00:52:46 am I supposed to be what am I supposed to do oh my god like I freaked out because I want to make the same mistakes as I did I don't want to you know even they even wanted me to go on a date with a guy and I was like that's not gonna happen I am NOT gonna go down that road again I'm not gonna to go down that road again. I'm not going to put you know a relationship on camera again, so I That's those are the regrets like you know I I miss my marriage Sometimes and I love my marriage. I think that you know we just played with fire and we had a burn us You know it burned us So yesterday I went to a baseball game.
Starting point is 00:53:26 I was supporting my best friend's son and I brought brownies and I brought orange slices and I put them in my Caraway Tupperware.

This is a brand that I trust so much because of their integrity and their detail when it comes to what they're putting in their supplements. This one that I take has vitamins A, C, D3, and zinc. And what this does is it helps support normal immune function.
Starting point is 00:57:13 It also, and this was so important to me as a pregnant woman, it has omega-3-DHA. So you want the DHA, and this is going to support fatty acid content of breast milk. And then another important ingredient, biotin. And this supports women's increased nutrient requirements during lactation. So everything is designed with the mother and the baby in mind. I like the mint one. They also have a citrus one. This is cool too. Each capsule features a delayed release design so it makes it really gentle on an empty stomach I am someone with adversions when it comes to pregnancy

I can only imagine like putting your marriage out there and then they pull a clip and it's out of context, they added it in with something else, they added a face in that you made to the clip. They did that a lot on the Girls Next Door. And it's like they did that a lot. How do you win? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:56 You kind of can't. I'll be honest, like, you know, we get to speak to people who have done what you've done in different areas and do. Like housewives. Yeah. Yeah, they go through a lot. You know, doing what we do over the years, those conversations have populated. And I always just say like, it's a really, now that you've seen people go through it, earlier generations and people like yourself, I think it's a really tall order to put your personal life on that
Starting point is 01:00:26 kind of stage and give people externally that much control and in such an intimate thing. Because every relationship- Especially with their name in the title. And every parent, like you go through struggles and it's hard enough to be in a private relationship now that you invite the world into that. And I just think like, I don't want to say this because it doesn't happen to everyone, but the majority are set up for failure. I think there were moments. There were moments of filming I should have been in therapy and intense therapy after certain things happened and I instead filmed a TV show instead and then instead of going to therapy I I
Starting point is 01:01:03 Would go on live TV shows crying, oh my God, oh my God. And the ratings, I watched the ratings one day. It was just shooting right up. Just me crying, oh my God, you know, this happened, this happened, this happened. I was raw. I was raw. I had no media talking.
Starting point is 01:01:19 I would just go on live shows crying sometimes. I think people like that about you though. Jesus Christ. I mean, like that about you though. Jesus Christ. I mean, not that you're crying. I just think people like that, people like, and you can even tell when you, interviewing you, like so many people, when they come on, there's like a guard up
Starting point is 01:01:36 and they only wanna say certain sentences. And you can tell there's like a, it's like a rawness and a realness. It doesn't exist a lot in Hollywood. Yeah. So I can understand why the ratings went up Why did you decide to do your real estate show is was it did it have to do with you? Started a new business and you wanted to like get it out there. Yep. Yep, so I spent years like I'm I'm not rich anymore. Like I used to be like, whoa, we were it's general, you know
Starting point is 01:02:02 No, I'm like, you know, I'm like a real working person now. Like I'm like, real estate, you know, it's really hard by the way. I heard. It's really hard. Oh my God. But I'm somehow surviving it. And it's just been, I actually love it so much.
Starting point is 01:02:17 I love my real estate partner. He's what makes me like get up every day and I just wanna conquer another day it I had a psychotic breakdown Then to like I there was one at 4 a.m. In the morning I was on the MLS like and all of a sudden like I quit and I wrote on Instagram I quit real estate boom and I'm like, oh shit. What did I do? Oh shit Everyone thought I was like, Oh, then you went back to it. And then, yeah, then I went back to it that same day that I closed a deal like two days after
Starting point is 01:02:50 that. And I was like, well, I never quit, but what are you doing in real estate? Like, are you, are you selling homes? Are you selling commercial? What exactly do you do? Residential? Yeah. Homes. So, I have like a weird question. When someone is getting a house shown by you do they ever come as a fan like they see you as the real estate agent and they don't have any intention of buying the house you know what that has not happened yet I'm gonna put that out there no no no no no it's, no, for some reason things, um,
Starting point is 01:03:25 that has not, I get a lot of prank calls, so a lot, there are a lot of people that, oh, I'm looking for a house, can I talk to Kendra? You know, it's stupid. Okay, so they'll call. So they call and they try to get to me and, and they're like, oh, they act like they're trying to buy a house and they're not. Yeah, that it's really annoying, beyond annoying. But yeah, no, like I started the real estate show. Like I spent years off camera and I didn't know what I was going to do. I had no idea what I was going to do for a living. And here I am, I'm like, oh my God, I had savings, you know, from my 20 years of whatever
Starting point is 01:04:02 shows and stuff. So but money was like tight money was go, you know, so I had to Figure out what I was gonna do. It's either I go to call it start going to college or I be a medical assistant or a medical, you know salesperson or real estate so I was so depressed one day, like I was like dark, dark after and I was like, what am I going to do? God, God, what am I going to do? Oh my God, I don't know what I'm going to do. So I just drove, I got in my car, it was like early in the
Starting point is 01:04:36 morning and I just said, God, just guide me, guide me, guide me. What do I need to do? So I ended up in Westlake Village and I pulled into Keller Williams the real estate company and I just walk in and I'm like and the receptionist she's like oh hi Kendra hi I'm a huge fan I'm like oh cool what can I can we help you and they're like I'm like I need a job I need a job I need I need what do I do I need a job they go do you have your real estate license? I'm like, what's that? What's that? Are you serious? I have to get and you have to take a huge test.
Starting point is 01:05:11 I'm like, no, no, no, no. So I said, OK. So I got I got in my car and I'm like. All right. All right. I'll start this journey. And so I just got on. I booked, I bought the books and I started studying. I read every page of the books and I passed that test the first time, which is really hard to do.
Starting point is 01:05:36 And next thing you know, next thing you know, I get a call from HGTV and they're like, we want to follow this journey. we want to follow this journey. We want to follow this journey. I'm like, okay, cool. You're more than welcome. It's HGTV, you know, why not? You know, so. Look at how you got these calls though,
Starting point is 01:05:54 like when you needed them. That's weird. It was amazing. That is crazy. Like what happened to you when you were 18 and then it happened later? God, it's God. I think that's God. So is your Daily focus on your kids and your real estate career. That's what you're focused on. There's no more TV shows in your future
Starting point is 01:06:14 I don't I miss TV like I do miss it. You do I think you're gonna say no way I I miss certain aspects of it I'm a raw person and I do deserve like I I like opening my life up to the I like people following me, but it's there's there's a it's like, you know, it's a blessing and a curse at the same time but I do Obviously, I like the money. I Love entertaining. I love to entertain so I'm you know that that's what people
Starting point is 01:06:48 Knew me as people are you know nowadays were like get back to who you once were get back to Like I was a comedian, you know, it was like I had perfect comedic timing. I was like witty I was like but now nowadays I'm like too tired to be funny. You know, I'm way too tired to be funny. You're working. I'm working. I'm a real estate agent. I'm a single mom. I'm, you know, I'm just trying to figure it out.
Starting point is 01:07:15 I'm just trying to figure it out. Maybe after this show, a reality television producer will call you. You'll get another call out of nowhere. And they'll be like, we want to film your single mom real estate life. I did, you know, I did pitch, I pitched two shows. Okay. So pretend someone's listening. Well one will actually, you know, it's, you know, it's guess what I did. So I, I had this one day I had this, I'm a horny single person. So I go, God, that'd be so cool if I if I I have the magic
Starting point is 01:07:47 powers to have my own show what would it be about what's in my deepest darkest fan ooh that'd be so cool if I was a female Hugh Hef like, oh my god. Wait, are you gonna do the train? Depends on you. Cigar, cigar, cigar for all three. So then I just decided, I'm like, one day I just got super horny. I was like, ooh, I'm gonna pitch a show about me being a female UF-ner. And so we pitched it, it was called, I don't know if I should say it. Penmer on top? Yeah, pretty much. I hate, I was so mad at that title by the way.
Starting point is 01:08:26 Like they chose- I was like, this sounds like a fucking porno. But this one, like this one was called Kendra's Fun House. And I pitched it off of my crazy dark sexy fantasies. And then I got a call back saying like this could happen. And I'm like, nevermind. No, no, no, no, no, no. I freaked out. You don't need to have sex with him.
Starting point is 01:08:49 You could just date him. I freaked out and I turned my own show down. I feel like that would be funny for you to just date. Oh my god. I would do it now. I wasn't ready then. I wasn't ready then. Well, let's see who the
Starting point is 01:09:05 If the if Kendra's funhouse happens can Taylor be one of the guys that you go on a date with Taylor I'll be first in line. He'll be on the show as one of the suit. Sure. You're more than welcome There we go. Literally blushing like the train conductor. Oh the train He's one of the funniest people I've ever met. Just smoke a cigar and we'll talk. Oh, Taylor, are you a godly man, Taylor? Give him a Cuban. I am now. I am now.
Starting point is 01:09:32 What's the other one that you were going to pitch? You said there was two. Yeah, there's another one. So there's one that's in the works right now. I think it's, I don't think it's going to happen, but there's another one. It's about a man who's going to be a doctor. I don't know if I'm going to be a doctor. I don't know if I'm going to be a doctor. What's the other one that you were gonna pitch? You said there was two. Yeah, there's another one. So there's one that's in the works right now. I think it's, I don't think it's going to happen,
Starting point is 01:09:48 but there's another one. It's about life transition. Cool, so inspiring. Yeah, it's an inspiring show. I do actually think though you could do your like Hugh Hefner show in an inspiring way to show women like that we're empowered and we can have different options.
Starting point is 01:10:03 Girl, if you put me in a house with all these men you think that's going to be inspiring or you think that's going to be like... I just think it could be on your terms. Like my terms, the devil is like, God is completely like... It was on Hef's terms because he was like the train conductor in the mansion and then you flip it. I would be having too much fun. I would embarrass the shit out of my kids It might be fun. I would embarrass them. I'm a horrible influence I would have to like really buckle up and just be more conservative and I If I see like group of guys like in a house
Starting point is 01:10:38 It's on and I would embarrass I would regret you talk about regret That would be the regret but you don't have to like actually go all the way, you could just date him on the show. I would want to go all the way. Okay, well. Taylor, did you hear that? Taylor, that was, she said you could come on the show and she would want to go all the way. Is there a question, is there a difference between an orgy and a gangbang? Or are those just interchangeable?
Starting point is 01:11:00 Are you asking me? Yeah, I guess anyone. Taylor, you would know more about this than anyone. I know what you're, I've seen your searches. Wait, hold on, Taylor, have you ever done an orgy? No, no, I've never had Taylor you would know more about this than anyone I know An orgy no no I've never done a gang Not gangbang.

I'm not a two penis kind of girl. That's too much penis for me. I'd rather have a girl in a guy. Hold on, I'm gonna make a disclaimer. Sometimes I see, sometimes I see people listening to this show shocked about the language and the adult material. If you've made it this far into the episode
