The following podcast is a Dear Media production. This episode is brought to you by Sephora. Okay, so we all know stress affects the skin. I mean, am I right? Causes dryness, signs of aging and redness. But the good news is Sephora has got you covered. They are really, really into stress-free skincare for 2020. I made a list of some of my Sephora skincare favorites for you guys,

and I wanted to tell you why I like them. Okay. For dryness, you got to check out the drunk elephant F bomb electrolyte water facial. Basically it's an electrolyte packed overnight mass that rehydrates and visibly plumps parched skin. They also have this Tatcha serum stick also also awesome for dryness, and it visibly plumps fine lines with targeted hydration. And it's sort of like a weightless balm that revitalizes skin that looks tight or depleted. I very much need that right now. Then they have Dr. Barbara Sturm Glow Drops. Okay, amazing for dryness. This is a hydrating serum that fights dullness and gives you that nice glow that we all love. The more glow,

the better. You know what I mean? And it refines the look of pores and contains purslane and hydraulic acid. Yes, please. For signs of aging, check out the Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Moisturizer. This is this antioxidant-packed moisturizer that targets signs of aging. It boosts the radiance, and it's extracted from a lotus plant, which we love. After that, and this shouldn't surprise you, the Dr. Dennis Gross Stress Rescue Super Serum. It's a radiance boosting serum with superfoods and niacinamide and fights visible signs of aging, which supports collagen levels. Lastly, if you're dealing with signs of redness, definitely check out Laneige Cica Repair Sleeping Mask. This is

absolutely amazing to calm redness. It's an overnight mask and it's hypoallergenic, formulated for sensitive skin and smooth, irritated skin overnight. So that's my list. Head to a Sephora store or sephora.com to shop their skincare. Be sure to get the skin-saving lineup only at Sephora online and in stores now. Okay, let's get into the show. She's a lifestyle blogger extraordinaire. Fantastic. And he's a serial entrepreneur. A very smart cookie. And now Lauren Everts and Michael Bostic are bringing you along for the ride. Get ready for some major realness. Welcome to the Skinny Confidential, him and her. I do have good timing with things. Like, podcasts came out at the right time. I was like the villain on Vanderpump Rules at the right time. I mean, I wrote a book at the right time

about the right thing. Like, it's all been like, I feel like timing has been very important in my life. Hello, happy Tuesday. Welcome back to the Skinny Confidential Him and Her podcast. That clip was from our guest of the show today, Vanderpump Rules, Stassi Schroeder. I am excited for this episode, Michael. It's been a long time coming, we talk about it on the show. I mean, it's been, I don't know, I joke around with her on the podcast and you'll hear like, I don't know how both of us, both Stassi and us have done so many podcasts, and this hasn't happened sooner. But here it is. Well, I did go on her podcast, which was really fun, probably four months ago, and I was very pregnant, but hiding it. I was wearing your

talentless sweats and hiding the whole entire thing. And she didn't know, which is wild. Definitely check out that episode. I think it's like the third episode down on her podcast. Her podcast is called Straight Up with Stassi. If you're new to the show, I'm Lauren Everts Bostic. And across from me is my husband. I must be doing something right because you went Everts Bostic instead of just Lauren Everts.

So I got my name thrown in there. I'm Michael Bostic, guys. I'm the CEO of the Dear Media Podcast Network and the co host of the show getting like, listen, you got some loving eyes coming to me right now. Well, you did make me mac and cheese last night at 10pm. Guys, let me tell you what I did here. I anchor baby this woman. And ever since then, she's been obsessed with me. Okay, Michael, whatever narrative you want to tell yourself. Listen, if you're a guy out there and you want to get a girl i mean just anchor baby i am 38 weeks almost 39 weeks ready to pop this baby could pop out

anytime maybe even now yeah honestly like i'm waddling around like a duck i have so much water in my face i need lymphatic drainage my ankles are are swollen. My toes are swollen. Sex has gotten interesting because people people have asked me like, is it a we're just having a conversation. Yeah, Michael, describe this. Well, because the problem is, is in the beginning, you know, you're like, it's just this primal thing or your lady's pregnant. And you're like, I did that. And you get all into it. But then now it's like, hey, feel the baby's head and spine. And it's literally between you and a thin piece of skin. And it's hard to get in there and get all, you know. Okay, but Michael, Dr. Berlin told me,

who was on the podcast on Friday, that semen makes the baby come out. So I'm going to need you to like ejaculate in a cup of semen or just like figure it out. I don't think that's how it works. I don't think you ejaculate. Maybe it does. I need your semen.

Taylor, save that clip. I, listen. Michael. Save that clip. How it gets... This is what Dr. Rulon said. I told you, you're fucking upset. How it gets in is how it gets out.

So I need you to like... I need to get the baby out. I get it loud and clear. No, and I need you to put primrose oil, according to Wesley, up my vagina and rub it around. Okay, okay. No, I'm just, I'm being serious. Like I need you to like, I need you to really get on board.

You want me to deliver this baby? You want me to deliver this baby? I'm ready. I'm ready to have the baby. I can do it. I just don't want to grab the head or the spine while I'm doing it. Does that make sense?

No, that doesn't make sense. Might have to pull the hair or grab something else. Yeah, it does. Anyways, we're getting on a tangent here, guys. Okay, let's get back on track. Happy Tuesday. Here's a conversation about semen. Switching gears.

So, Vanderpump Rules, it just came out. I think it's on season eight. I personally think it's one of the most genius reality shows that has ever happened. And I consider myself a guru because I'm a huge Real Housewives watcher. Love Laguna Beach, Siesta Key, love all of them. This one has a different feel because the people actually are friends. And it doesn't feel like an ensemble cast was just put together from random people. Right. And I noticed when I'm watching it, your peripheral goes to the TV. That's what I told Stassi when she was on the

show. It's one of those things if you if I'm trying to read a book in bed, and it's on like, I'm going to watch Vanderpump. Yeah, it's so entertaining. I can't take my eyes off it. It's not I don't I don't know if it was something that I would have originally just gone into. I'm not a reality person. But like, I'm not gonna lie, it is very entertaining. And what's so wild is before Stassi was on Vanderpump, she was friends with a girl I know named Nikki, and she was friends on on Facebook and I saw her and I was like, that girl Stassi is going to be a star. I don't know why I thought that. I just remember thinking that this is like nine years ago. So I messaged her on Facebook and I said, I have this blog called the skinny confidential. I just launched it and I would love for you to be the skinny

Easter of the month. And if you guys have been reading my blog for the last nine to 10 years, you know what skinny Easter of the month is if you're an OG reader, and basically asked her all these questions about her diet, health, wellness and beauty secrets. And it's still up on the skinny confidential to this day, which is wild. And then she ended up booking the show. And obviously, you know how that goes now. She's a New York Times bestselling author. She has her live podcast tour. Her podcast crushes it. And she's like one of the stars of Vanderpump Rules.

So it's really cool to see how that's come full circle. So with that, guys, enjoy this long overdue conversation with Stassi Schroeder. Stassi, welcome to the Him and Her Show. This is the skinny confidential Him and Her. Yeah, I'm far along enough, I think, to have a glass of wine. I think I might be one of those women

that does have some red wine every now and then when I get pregnant. You could do it in the third trimester, no problem. Yeah, I mean, that's what doctors say.

So, like, if doctors say it's okay, why the fuck not? I think it's a very american thing just a little drink i thought it was a european thing no i mean your european thing is okay to drink american yeah we get scared about everything over here i'm gonna have my pregnancy in france you should have it you know here's my advice take your time you're gonna get married enjoy every second of being a fiance that's such a fun time it is it's fun it's fun you're getting married in europe yes where um rome amazing yes it's actually a giant bitch trying to plan a wedding that's also going to be on television so there's that so it's like an extra like added

layer of hell that i'm in right now like Like, what does that entail? Explain it to people that just have no fucking idea. Well, so, okay, Bravo doesn't pay for anything. Like, literally not a dime. So it's, I'm planning the wedding as if I would, you know, be doing it myself. But every location, you have to have a release. They have to sign the Vanderpump Rules contract. They need permits to film everywhere. So I can't plan my wedding without already having those permits to film, which takes a very long time to negotiate because it's in another fucking country. So like planning that has just been so stressful.

And Bo and I have just been like, oh my God, we should have just gone to the courthouse. Like this is, it's insane. So, I mean, we went to Rome two months ago to look for our venue and where we would stay and all that. And we still don't have it locked insane. So, I mean, we went to Rome two months ago to look for our venue and where we would stay and all that, and we still don't have it locked down. So it's a lot. So is there a part of you that wants some kind of privacy with the wedding? Will you have something that's just you and Bose? Probably not. It's too late for that. It's too late. I feel like,

you know what? And I'm not sitting here. I'm not here to complain. Like I am so lucky to have had Vanderpump rules. I was young enough when it started to where now I'm used to that being my life. And I feel like I owe it to viewers. I owe it to everyone to show the biggest moment of my life. I'm used to it. So I don't know what it would be like to not,

to be able to have privacy on my wedding. I don't even know what that would be like. That's a good attitude. You signed up for it, you know? It is. And it's my job and I enjoy doing it. So. Let me ask you a serious question. Okay. How many podcasts have you done? I have no fucking idea. But a lot. 300? Once a week for almost six years. Okay. And how many have we done? did 250 so let's just say there's

like a thousand of these things that it gets accumulatively between both of us what the fuck took this though so long to happen here just scheduling oh i know i know and we're moved by like five degrees it's insane i know it's and i'm like right down the street and that what's so crazy we talked about this last time when she did my podcast is that like she interviewed me when i was in college oh on her oh you were a skinista of the week yeah yes i was and we looked back on it and i was like oh my god i'm like my advice is so embarrassing i mean it's still kind of true but it's embarrassing it's so vintage i love it it is vintage i was thinking about it today i'm like okay you've been doing

this for a very long time we've been doing pretty long time there's removed by like three degrees you got taylor strecker jackie shimmel yes you've been in here right yes i have okay so it feels like kind of like familiar so i was like what the fuck is taking this so long i know i think that's something that you should point out and talk about more is the fact that you are doing so much behind the scenes that people don't see right i try and instagram it i like try to story it. But like I've found that people also don't like to watch me working, which is weird. Like you've built y'all's brand of that. People look and aspire to be you. I look at your Instagram because I'm like, oh, my God, it's so aspirational and awesome.

I've found that like when I'm posting about me working or doing things it's like people don't watch or don't care or don't like it they like want to just see me like getting shit-faced like with my friends but that's like that's so annoying because you literally have a new york times best-selling book you're an entrepreneur you're working on your collab with just fab you have all these things going on and doing a tv show is fucking work i mean yeah like let's be honest to put your face on and give off that energy it's a lot of work it's a lot of work listen sitting in the seat that i sit in i i see you know i hear and see some things going on in the inner workings i saw that tour the one you're doing right now getting out

and i was like holy fuck that's a lot of work it's that's a lot of fucking it's the most work i've ever put into something like i thought writing a book was hard. Like this is not only was like creating it because I didn't want it just to be like a podcast where I release the audio. I'm like, no, like I want to put on a show. I want a set. I want these segments. I want music.

I want lighting. I want everything. And so to come up with it was already like overwhelming, but so fun. But to travel every day and be on every day it's exhausting i think the traveling is like the hardest part you know like i feel like i've lost touch with my friends my family i don't have time with anyone anymore and then i feel like i'm just a shitty friend and i need to like find time to work people into my

life it's but it is it's it's it's insane i mean how cool is it to be able to so i can again i feel like i'm i'm a complainer when it comes to everything that's going on but like how lucky are all of we right all of us right now before we get into that with stassi let's talk about collagen did you know that your hair, skin, nails, and connective tissues are made from collagen? This is something I have talked about so many times on the Skinny Confidential. Collagen, okay? Right now, if you're nearing 30, your body is naturally slowing in the production of collagen. Did you know that, Michael Bostic? I did know that. I've talked to a lot of skin experts, Lauren. You know that. Which is why we're so excited to talk about Ancient Nutrition and their multi-collagen

protein. Okay, so what this does is it supports healthy skin, joint health, healthy gut, and healthy nails. These are all things I feel like everyone wants. We had Dr. Josh Axe on the podcast. He's one of the smartest people we've had on and he talked all about collagen. He created this product that has five collagen types in it. And it's basically a flavorless powder.

So you could put it in water. You could put it in coffee, tea. You could put it in matcha. I'm a huge fan of matcha. That's always fun. And it's flavorless. So it's awesome. It's all non-GMO made from four different food sources, beef, chicken, fish, and eggshell membrane.

So you know you're getting a lot of great stuff there. And it contains nine grams of protein and zero grams of carbs or fat. So you're also going to be keeping it tight and right. For me, Lauren really likes to get all the routines, the smoothies, the matchas. But for me, I just powerhouse through it. I throw it in some water and boom, I chug it right down. For me, I like to add it, like I said, to a matcha or a coffee. It's flavorless. So if you're like me and you're into glowy, dewy skin, long nails, and flowy hair,

you got to try collagen. I mean, I've been talking about it for years, guys. Get $10 off right now at ancientnutrition.com using promo code SKINNY10.

She says the hardest part about where she is is that it's hard to still keep in contact with friends. I think that the friends that really understand you will be okay with that space and the proximity you should be happy for you yeah i know and i feel like they are i just can't i feel like a shitty friend they're not no one's making me feel that way it's just i you know i see all their instagrams i see them doing things i'm like oh my god i'm never there and i'm not a good texter or so i'm not like someone who like communicates very well and so

I'm just like no one ever hears from me let's talk about not being a good texter this is a really good subject well I'm not a bad texter I'm a selective texter no you're the worst I've ever seen you just won't text people back well that I do the same like if I most of the time you know like you haven't heard from someone a while and then they send in a text and I'm like okay 90% of the time it's probably an ask of some sort right and I don't I don't respond to those ones I mean it's not I'm not trying to be rude I just know that I'm not going to be able to give it my all so I'm like better to just just like yeah yeah I mean for me like I use my phone for work right it's work so I associate the phone with working i 100 get you so i don't want to talk on my phone to my friends i

know that's weird i know i know i feel exactly the same way it is our phones are our job like responding to emails responding to questions from whoever your manager whoever it is you work for all fucking day long when i hear my phone ding it's like mother fucker like what more if someone just sends me like hey how what's up do you want to do this i'm like go fuck yourself it is like it's my heart drops what about this one what's new what's no one ever messages me you need to message what's new what's new lauren lauren is like she she i have never you you need to get with stassi a little bit she needs a plate lauren is like notorious like she'll she'll get into that what's new conversation with someone we haven't seen in nine years. And I'm sitting there.

She's like, how would you handle this? I'm like, I would never be in this situation. Yeah. No one has ever. You need new friends. No one has ever messaged me what's new. I'd be like, follow me on Instagram. I would literally write my Instagram handle.

That's what's new. I'm trying to be a little more harsh. Michael's a little more cutthroat. No, it's not harsh It's just like what are you doing in those conversation? I don't see I don't see what's occurring What are they serving you? Yeah, and the one the one I'm getting better at the asks anything That's an ask you can kind of see it in the DMs too when it's an ask Yeah, and I'm just trying to stay away from it. I'm my new words proximity. Do you proximity?

Do you like okay? So if you can kind of see that it's going to be an ask do you just quickly delete the conversation without opening it that's what i do savage i haven't had a birthday party and probably one i haven't had a birthday party in 20 years you know why i'm scared i'm scared if i have a birthday party and i ask someone to come do something for me then they're gonna then i have to reciprocate you are a smart man i don't ask for anything i don't want anything i want to be the only reason I want to be successful in life is so I can be so insulated that I have to ask for nothing.

Yes. And then I can't be asked in return. That is, you have it figured out. Like I think the only other person besides you now that has it figured out is Kylie Jenner because she does not have to do a damn thing. She can literally live in her compound, do whatever the fuck she wants.

She doesn't even have to go on keeping up with the Kardashians. She just just chills but let me tell you something here's what happens in my life i got married to this woman here that that for some reason she's a big yes girl and so still even in my seat where i don't have when i put myself in that position i still i get committed to everything birthday parties bachelor parties what is what are you going to baby shower this weekend i get i get sucked in because i'm married so i don't even it's just too late for me i'm done right that like big of a like go out i see things pop on my calendar and i immediately start having heart palpitations and just yeah you know you know i think too when you're like constantly working on your phone all

week by the weekend like i'm just done yeah tim ferris says he's he's so fucking smart and he says he does like kind of like live tours like you do. Yeah. And he says he has to recharge his battery or he's just functioning on 1%. Yes. Yes. Which means I need to be at home watching 90 Day Fiance like for five hours while no one bothers me. I need to not put on makeup.

I need to wear sweatpants. And I need to not hear my phone ding. Is that what you do when you want to relax? You just turn your phone off? I have turned my phone off. Yeah. I honestly, like, I don't go to spas really that often. I'm not like a meditator.

I don't know how to do that. My idea of relaxing is turning my phone away and just like watching mindless television. And you're like us where you like to be home with your fiance yes we like to be home together with our dogs yes yes it is my favorite thing in the world and now you have a barefoot dreams blanket and yes i'm telling you this is what's gonna happen okay you're gonna get home and you're gonna put the blanket down and your dogs are gonna take the blanket oh 100 They take all of my cashmere blankets. I'm like, this is a fucking waste.

You're going to need another one. And then Bo's going to take it. For sure. You have 10. You're going to end up with like 9 or 10 of these big blankets everywhere. I'm fine with it. Okay, so I asked the audience a bunch of questions of what they want to know about you. And it seems like people want specifics on your beauty, on your makeup, on your spray tan.

For real? Super specifics on your brows. on your makeup on your spray tan like for real super specifics on your brows like they want the details really yeah and right now you're wearing a lash i'm wearing a lot yeah i just go to get the like ardell lashes and cut them a little bit and i put them on myself super easy i have to wear foundation every day because i have psoriasis and rosacea so it's like i'm i don't see that well i have foundation on right now but it's it's disgusting so i wear christian dior air flash foundation lots of coverage and the brows like i just fill them in with the anastasia anast You do your own makeup? Yeah. Always?

Yeah. I rarely get my makeup done. I don't trust a lot of people with my face because they just like, I don't know. I just feel like I know my face better than anyone else. I feel like on my wedding day, I'm going to do my own makeup. I hardcore think that might be an option. Whoa. Yeah.

That's heavy. You're not going to bring makeup artists. I might. I mean, I'm definitely bringing a hair person my hairstylist but i don't know i mean that makeup artist better get that because i always fix it after someone does my makeup i always go and change something about it so what would be the point when i can just do like did you do your makeup today no i didn't do my makeup oh you did i don't like to do my makeup she's got a whole no i like can i get the name of your person yes i liked the reason i don't like to do my makeup though doesn't have to do that i don't think i can do my makeup it has to do there's an hour of time that's wasted for me oh no i can quickly do this like i do my own makeup for every show in under 20

When they give me a hard time You're used to dealing with this People give you a hard time You know Oh yeah Listen that's how I live my life Getting a hard time What do you do with the trolls

I really It takes a lot to affect me. It really does. Imagine at this point, it's like, it's like almost like bulletproof, you know? It is. You know what? I made a mistake recently and I haven't actually talked about this on air. When I was at home for Thanksgiving, I woke up earlier than Bo and I'd already looked

at like every website and social media thing. And I'm like, you know what? I've never gone to Reddit. I'm going to try. it's a big big i'm gonna go to reddit because i want to see what people have to say about my live show and i sobbed four hours i didn't want to do the show anymore i was like holy fuck reddit is an evil evil place and i just i got so insecure and so upset and i'm like everyone hates me like ever why am i even doing this why do i have a podcast why am i on vanderpump rules why the fuck do i

have any followers on instagram everyone hates me and they're so specific about how they hate me i will never ever do that again that is the one time where it really got to me because there's like a different like level of meanness i guess guess. The more anonymous you get, the more they come out. It is. It was terrifying. Before we dive into that, let's talk about matcha. If you've watched my Instagram stories, you have seen that I've been really into matcha. Ever since I got pregnant, I haven't wanted too much coffee, which is wild because I was drinking two cups a day and I've been drawn to matcha. So we have this new partner Roots Nutrition and they have a product that's called Matcha Collagen Superfood.

And basically what they did is they got eight of the best superfoods on the planet and they mixed it in with this matcha. Now, if you don't know what matcha is, you need to get on board. Basically, it's kind of like a tea. It's green. It wakes you up. And their specific matcha is ceremonial grade matcha. And it gives you a calm sense of alertness. So there's not a lot of shakes. So even Michael, who's like panicked all the time, can drink it without having like too much energy. It's the perfect amount of energy, if you know what I mean. Matcha is also amazing for appearance, Lauren. I have very good skin now. Wow. I have very good hair.

Look at my nails. I'm on point. I'm on point. Okay. Well, he thinks that's because of matcha. Anyways, so what I do with my matcha is I put it in the frother.

All right, let's get back to the episode. You can never go to Reddit. I will never again. Reddit is like for the deep, deep, deep trolls that are actually obsessed with you, I think. Okay. They're all obsessed. That makes me feel a little better. Way more devastating though. If you went there and there was nothing, that's way worse. The only thing worse than being talked about is being not talked about. Yeah, that's true. What's that quote again? Who said that said that mark twain or someone i don't know with you and your quotes but oscar wilde i think it was oscar wilde i think but that would be devastating you go there like i wonder what people are saying it's just nothing and then it's nothing oh you're right so what if someone comments on your instagram something that's so dick do you respond or do you just

delete sometimes i'll respond if i can like come up with a joke or like call them out in a way that i'm not being mean to them but it then it gets everyone else to like i want to bring attention to it so that everyone else sees how awful this person is and then comments under and then that person you know is just like getting alert after alert after alert but like i don't really like fight back logic is always fun too like when it's something so emotional and you just respond with dead logic. Okay. Like, okay.

That always works for me. Give me an example. Yeah. An example is, Oh God. Just someone saying to me, like, are you having twins or something?

Like, because you're big right now. I'm just making this up. Because you're, because I don't see what's mean about that. Yeah. Just,'m trying to think that's not a good example what's a good example like it's like you're about to pop you're like no shit i got i'm trying to think of like a really good one because some i like when you i like when people get like so she's talked about like boob jobs and all sorts of stuff on her and i like this is a good one and people get it come out

and then she like directs them to the post she's like yeah this one i talked about here like your boobs are so fake and i'll say here's the post yes read all about it i like that too no i'll say at dr barrett thanks for the good work yes you know 100 like someone was like making fun of me being like this bitch can't even read blah blah blah and then i just sent them a link to my book like or like hashtag new york times bestseller or like refer to my bio yes you know like it's just here's some logic for you. I think the trolls need a little logic. Yes.

You know, if you're that deep to the comedy on someone's Instagram that you don't know from a fake account, like it really doesn't matter. It doesn't. What happens to you here now in L.A.? You've been here for a while, but like, can you can you run around and go to normal places like you used to? Or is it? Yeah, totally.

I mean, I go to the same places pretty much. L.A.'s a little bit more accepting, it i think l and l and also in la everyone's jaded yeah no one gives a shit like you know what i mean like you can see like reese witherspoon so like who really gives a shit about someone from vanderpump rules yeah but what happens when you go to new york texas arizona that's intense so i definitely like when Bo wants to like go do something in the cities that we're in, I get frustrated with him because I'm like, I can't like I can't like I'm going to have to do my makeup. I'm going to do my hair. That will take a lot of time. I'm like, I need to just stay in my hotel room because if I walk around, you know that someone's going to say something or if one person wants a photo, then even if someone doesn't know who I am, they see someone taking a photo with me, then line up and say that they want one. And I'm like, I can't go and do that. So if you can just you go by yourself, go roam the city by yourself. I will be here in the hotel room staying safe. And what do you do if you go out and you're not made up and people come up to you?

I mean, in the airport that's happened and I just said, I'm sorry, I feel like really ugly right now. Like, I don't want to take a photo. Yeah. Sorry. People can't argue with that. Like, you can't. I'm like, I have no makeup on and I literally look like a troll. I look like Gollum.

Like, you can't ask to take a photo with me that might then get out there and be retweeted. Like, no. I'm going to steal that one. Not that I'm getting asked in the airport all the time but i'm just saying if i look like a fucking butthole i'm just gonna be like i look like golem i'm so sorry i can't do it right now i'm just direct him to michael because michael doesn't give a fuck i'm like a vocal nerd here i i like love star wars i love lord of the rings i love game of thrones i can't get her to look at anything and so i know you're i know you're a big

game of thrones fan i don't know Tell her why She needs to just take A little bite into Finale aside She needs to She needs to get into one genre Fantasy She won't even watch anything

I'm not a big fan of fantasy It's so weird that you say that Because Bo is literally At the Grove right now Watching Star Wars I'm going tomorrow morning At 8am Really?

Yeah I'll probably be there right now Bo beat you though Bo's here He's there running He sounds like a man After my own heart But I can't get her to do anything She won't even watch.

And then she'll do this annoying thing where she'll like, if it's Star Wars, she'll be like, yeah, I'll go to the movie with you. I'm like, it's episode nine. You're going to miss all of them and then just go to nine? Oh yeah, don't do that. Well, I mean, is there anything,

what do you watch? I like to watch Housewives. But is there anything that is not reality-based that you like to watch? Curb, Sopranos. Curb Your Enth your enthusiasm is my absolute favorite show okay nice choice pranos nice it's over i like way over i've watched it again i love mob movies i love crime you and taylor strecker that's her favorite show too i love drugs i love

all of that in in shows i i like real life scenarios i don't like to watch someone that's that's it's a fake thing for somebody who's like harry potter that's like that's an easy way to get someone into fantasy i feel like harry potter is it's easy like i've been can binge that like for a full week and like watch one a night as i'm going to bed no i can't do it okay it might be a lost cause i think it's a lost i've been trying for 20 years the star wars thing i can't do what makes you and this is a question that i've that i i think i could answer but i want you to answer it what do you think makes you unique from other reality stars like you're like

kind of like a kristen cavallari that that you have this staying power because you've been really good at been able to being able to kind of stay at the top of your game while being on a reality show and that's not always the case meaning like you don't need to i mean listen banner films are great show but you don't need to like you could go to other properties and carry an audience yes i'm special no i have no i i've actually surprisingly never been asked to that question and i'm thinking about it really hard right now. Oh, my gosh. I don't know. I think, well, I am ambitious. Like, I always have new ideas for things. So I feel like that is something. And I think that people, honestly, people really

like authenticity and they want to watch something or be around something or follow something where they feel like there's no facade, like they can to it and i think because i'm just very much who i am like all of the ugly shit and all like i think that that's what keeps me up there people i think people can trust me yeah good or bad you know who said that to us jillian michaels she's like love me or hate me you know like she's had a long career yeah like people know exactly what they're getting with her right it's not it's like even if you're like oh my god i would never do that never say that i don't like that you know it's her it's not bullshit and so you're like like cool like totally jackie schimmel's the same way oh yeah jackie schimmel's another thing yeah i can see why you guys are such good friends jackie

schimmel's the same way she's fucking she is she is, this is what I mean. She's the last one standing that does not have to censor herself at all. I am so jealous of this. You have no fucking idea that I just hope that like the more successful she gets, she sticks to her guns. You know what I mean?

Because even though I'm honest, I still do have to censor myself. Like I can't make every joke in the world that I want to make. I can't. I would lose my, I would lose my career every time she asked me i'm like just keep doing anything you want to do that's why howard that's the best because there's so many people that they get involved and then they start like censoring people like that's what makes her so great i think i absolutely agree please nurture that nurture that ever ever jackie

schimmel could literally throw a rock at my head if i walked outside and i'd be like good job jackie yeah whatever you want to do jackie i know love for you to throw a rock at his head after last night she would never she loved him too much last night i just looked in the mirror and i was like what the fuck is happening to my body and michael's like it's fine i'm like you can't you don't have the right hairbrush for your hair it's fine you're freaking out. He has no idea. And then at the same time, he's complaining about his big toe. I don't know how to react to crying.

I literally cry once a year. So I'm not good at it. Oh, well, she doesn't cry that often. No, but that's why I'm even worse at it. I don't get the practice, right? If I was with somebody that cried a little more, I'd maybe know what to do. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I cry like every day.

You do? Oh, yeah. I wish I could do it on command more. It would get me more attention from him. Well, no, it's just it's it's how i get my release out it's like almost any emotion any emotion anger happiness like anxiety sadness anything like the way i deal with it is it just like comes out my eyes like i cry at like a taco bell commercial like the family looks cute it's like oh my god family and i can cry wow i need i need to get my crying skills better i can cry over happiness right but i just don't know how to do

like if someone's throwing a tantrum i don't know what to do i'm probably gonna learn a lot with a young daughter this daughter's gonna teach me a lot of shit 100 i am so fucked you really are a little mini me i had all these ideas i'm like i'm gonna raise this tough young because she thought it was a boy for a long time i didn't care either way you know i just wanted a healthy baby i know people say that but doesn't come real until it's like actually you're going through it right so i was like okay whatever about a boy i was i'm gonna raise this tough young man he's gonna you know he's gonna grow up he's respectable and you do hard work and then she told me as a girl i'm like i am fuck i'm gonna be the biggest softy in the world do whatever she wants like yeah i'm done god i am so excited for

y'all this baby is gonna be so fucking good looking and it's gonna be she's gonna be so witty unless you just like two funny people create a dud it could happen that that is fair it can happen i hope she's so fucking dramatic and does theatrics and just like pretends to faint when you do something you know what's funny though is lauren thinks that's going to be funny for me but i've already been dealing with that for 20 years with her like that's like everything she that that's her in a nutshell you know dramatic about everything i want you to get you a taste of your own medicine because she's going to do it to you i've decided that the baby's gonna i'm gonna teach her to call you papa because that's so glam i know so like can you imagine she's downstairs i love it like so annoying love it so fucking annoying and also as she like grows older it's

like kind of bougie it's kind of bougie so no matter what it's a win-win yeah so when you guys get married are you wanting kids right away or you want to wait or you don't know i want kids right away yeah right away yeah okay we'll just go get drunk off margaritas at el compadre that's why we're just is that how y'all that's how it happened el compadre compadre wait no not el coyote el coyote yeah yeah coyote which is katie's favorite restaurant in the whole world this is so weird i was just telling her that katie just like worships her katie's gotta come on here sometime yeah katie's got kat's got to come on here sometime. Katie, you got to come on here.

You know, we had a plan. We were going to go. We were going to take a break. We were going to go to El Coyote. No, we're going to go to South of France. And we're going to be like romantic. And we'd drink wine every day together. And then we tried to do baby making, right?

Yeah. And then I fucked up. And I got drunk at El Coyote and had margarita. And it was done. Oh, my gosh. I love it. Yeah, be careful. Because you think like. And she didn't know for seven weeks. If you want to get pregnant right away i bet like you guys like some people

get pregnant on the wedding night i doubt it listen i was first of all who knows if we're actually gonna bang it out on the wedding night i mean is that is that well you think it'll be quick it'll be quick and it'll be just to say that we did yeah it'll it's not the best yeah i like i don't i don't foresee us having this like night of passion after we were like we're gonna want to like sit up and talk about everything or pass out yeah what is his personality like like what's his what's his vibe he's super laid back but i have also managed to turn him into like a gossip queen you know so he's around me all the time so it's like he's always just balanced me out and it's like i am just super ocd and all of that and he's just very

chill very understanding and very just like supportive but i have turned him a little bit into a monster so like when we get a text or see something on Instagram, he's like, oh my God, let's talk about this. I'm like, yes, yes, King. Yes. That kind of sounds like you. You love to hear a little gossip. You like a little gossip. I like to know what's going on. I like to be part of it.

Yes. Okay. So I want to ask you something that I don't feel like a lot of people ask you. And that's, I kind of asked you in the beginning, but more I want to go into the business side of what you do, like the entrepreneurship. Right. I feel like, like, do you have a team of people around you yes okay can you explain that because i feel like i want to like break down the fourth wall people think that someone in your position is sitting around and like the camera turns on like they don't get it and i know how much work it is get into it yeah um well i have a million agents because i'm with

uta so like a book agent a a podcast agent, two podcasting tour agents, regular agent, social media agent, like there's a lot of them. So there's like a full team. I have an amazing publicist. I have an assistant and I have a lawyer. I don't have a manager because I feel like it's kind of a waste and just takes my money away from me. So with all of them, like they're able to sort things out. So basically it's dealing with, okay, podcast tour, then also doing the podcast at the same time, then writing book number two,

then this basically Stassi spinoff for fucking Bravo. Then I'm trying to sell the rights to my book to make a show. So I have like all of these things that I am dealing with every single day, all day. And we're in the book to make a show. So I have like all of these things that I'm dealing with every single day all day. And we're in the middle of buying a house. So and planning a wedding. So I feel very fucking overwhelmed every day. So for anyone who thinks that I'm just sitting around on my ass, they can go fuck themselves. Seriously. So what is your morning routine look

like? I mean, I drink a Celsius really fast. Like I don't really like have a routine. And also depends on the day because no day is the same. Right. So you wake up at different times depending on the day. Yeah. It depends on like if I'm on tour or if I'm filming. It doesn't every day is different. So I don't have a routine. And when you film and you this is what I would do if I was on a reality show. If I knew I had to film on Monday, I would need complete silence on Sunday. Like I would need all the time to myself because I need I need to like wrap my head around the energy that I would need to be giving off. I think you get used to it over a certain amount of time. Season one, I was a bit of a brat to production because i just didn't understand how filming a

reality show worked but once you get used to it you don't get that because then your sunday if it's the that's your day off to get things in when you're not filming so then you don't really get a sunday to relax anymore and are you having help with like assistants and employees or is it more stuff that you're doing hands-on are you you delegating? I delegate a lot, yes. I only have one assistant, but I mean, I feel like- Shout out to Lo, right? Yes, shout out to Lo. But I feel like I'm handling it right now.

I do cry a lot about this. I really do. And Bo is very, luckily I have a partner who is all about helping me be successful and is just like loves to do anything to help me, whether it is to come on tour so that I don't pay an extra guest and that income goes straight to our household or some or the fact that like he spent seven hours last night just going through the inspections pages so I don't have to fucking do it. Like anything I need, he'll take care of because he knows that I just have all of these dreams that I want to accomplish. And he's just like, I'll help you get there. So he is also like an assistant. It seems like you're marrying your teammate. And a lot of it's so interesting because I feel like there's two types of marriages. There's a marriage that the man and the wife have two separate jobs and two separate visions. And then there's, I think, more of a teammate marriage where you're committed to the same

vision and the same goal. Yes. Like you two. We try to be teammates. I mean, that's important. You work together. You do everything together. And that is, I mean, that is hard to find the person who you can work with

play with be in love with run a household with like and still love each other and be excited to do that i mean that's not many people not many couples can do that i could never have done that with any of my ex-boyfriends and i feel like it's such a contrast from your ex-boyfriend that you showed on the show. Oh, yeah. The contrast is amazing. When I was with Patrick, I mean, we barely spent any time together. He did not want me to do anything.

Patrick rubbed me the wrong way. He rubbed a light... You know, I wish more people would have told me that. Like, I spent a good four years off and on with him and it's like kind of a waste. You can't give people relationship advice.

My dad told me this a long time. My dad's never given me relationship advice, ever. I mean, he says broad things. Because he's like, listen, if I say no. Something too specific, also, you might. Or if he's like, imagine he came to me. He's like, listen, don't go with Lauren. Bad choice.

And this is the love of my life. Then I'm pissed at him. And if he says, hey, go with this person. They're great. And you marry him. And it's like the worst. You're right. It's a delicate position to be in.

You're right. You just got to kind of watch. Right. Well, you know, go with this person, they're great, and you marry them, and it's like the worst. So it's a delicate position to be in. You know, you just gotta kind of watch from a distance. Well, you know what? It made me, the relationship with Patrick made me appreciate just how supported I feel now. So if I hadn't have had that, you know, then maybe I would just be like, well, of course you have to do these things for me.

You know? So I'm much more appreciative. I dated all these duds to find me. I dated duds, too. too i mean i dated a lot of duds but i think just from watching the show from what i saw as an outsider it seemed like he was insecure with your success i will never know the answer but he didn't want me to do anything like he did not want me to do vanderpump rules like he didn't like when i did press he didn't like it was it was yeah i bet you've experienced this in your life people are like you people are generally happy for you not just you but any of us until you surpass them and then they get

weird right like if they you know if you're doing well and it's like but they're above you like let just say in a career path they're above you still they're like oh really good for you good for you but as soon as you like start to overtake which i'm sure you've overtaken a lot of people in your life right they get a little weird they're a little funny and they don't like it i like how you say overtake like i'm a fucking drogon from game of thrones yeah well you get the reference a drogon it's the dragon you know the one the one that fucking lit everything on fire no babe i was half paying attention i'm just gonna be honest i i would like sleep with one eye open if I'm just being really real.

So the cast is coming out with a new season. Yes, season eight. How real is this season? Like, honestly, how real is it? Okay, so I'm gonna tell you this. I feel like I'm most excited about this season because it's the realest, because they don't make anyone go into Sur

if they're not actually picking up shifts there so you're not going to see katie at sir you're not going to fucking see britney at sir you're certainly not going to see lala working at sir like they're not doing that anymore so a lot of our friends like they bought houses they're doing different things their lives are different so they follow what's really going on in our lives while also introducing newer people who are actually working at sir and i mean how that's gonna work i have no fucking idea felt like we were filming two separate shows how's it'll they'll intertwine it i'm sure yeah i'm sure how are the new cast members i like a few of them. The other few are lame.

I mean, I don't know. Lame is a harsh word. I just don't have, there's three of them that I have a lot in common with and the rest of them, I'm like, I cannot relate to you or what you're about at all. You're also 23. So it's like, I remember being that age, but it's hard. It's hard to like form a friendship when you're just like, this is the shit that age, but it's hard.

It's hard to like form a friendship when you're just like, this is the shit that you're complaining about right now. I just, I can't, I'm not there anymore. But that's why your show is so genius because it allows the audience to evolve with you guys while also breathing fresh, youthful energy into the show. Totally. I mean, it's a very, very smart show. Yeah.

I think it's one of the only ones you'll watch with me. Yeah. I mean, I'm selective. Thank you. Thank you. Listen, I'm tuned in, you know? Yeah. It's the one where like your peripheral like goes like from your book that you're supposedly reading on your Kindle to the TV. I try to be like productive and be reading, but if the show, I'm not going to be one of those guys like I never watch. Like if it's on, I get drawn in. I get sucked into it.

Yeah. I love the drama, you know? Yeah. No, I get this. Listen, that's just like Beau. Yesterday, like I said, when he was going like if it's on i get drawn in i get sucked into it yeah i love the drama you know yeah no i get this listen that's just like beau yesterday well like i said when he was going over all of the shit for the house he's like just put housewives of dallas on in the background and i'm like okay fine he's like at least it'll give me something to listen to i'm like that's great what's the best real housewives the best the best um city city new york i agree by far new york is the best yeah the most like culture and characters what's happening with the oc i haven't you know what i haven't

watched the oc in so long that i feel like there's just so many seasons i would have to catch up on that i'm just like i i can't get my brain there i completely agree okay i have more business questions just because i can't help it because I feel like you're running like so many different entrepreneurial things. And like it's like not on the forefront. And it's interesting to me. Listen, Lauren, I get annoyed with it too. But I realize I'm mainly associated with Vanderpump Rules. And that's what it is.

For some reason, it's frustrating to me because I feel like you feel like you're you're one of those girls that it's really easy to judge a book by its cover and then you you realize when you get to know you that there's all these other layers and you're running all these businesses and doing all these things and it's annoying to me for some reason that people don't take me seriously they don't see the work because yeah I know how much goes into what you're doing like i mean i don't know the reality tv show part i've never done but you know everything else yes and it's a lot yeah and so i'm just interested in i guess one thing i'm interested in is that you've been podcasting for six years and now all of a sudden everyone's in the space you've got every single bachelor and bachelorette

doing like what like do you ever step back and be like i kind of was the frontier pioneer here oh i knew i was at the i got in at the right time like really hardcore at the right time got in again and maybe this is also why i've managed to like kind of stay on top i do have good timing with things like podcasts came out the right time i was like the villain on vanderpump rules at the right time i mean i wrote a book at the right time about the right thing like it's all been like i feel like timing has been very important in my life and so yes can we just talk about the fact that every bachelor does have a podcast? Yeah, it's true. It's true. It is.

And it is. It does piss me off. You know what I tell people? It does. I'll tell you what I tell people about podcasts is obviously like some experience with that now. People are looking at it now as this like, oh, it's this medium. So it's just like, oh, Instagram.

I got to jump in. I always tell people, unless you're willing to do this for 100 episodes. For free. For free. And you're not doing it to make money. Yeah. Then yes, it's the right medium. But if you're here to make a quick check, episodes for free for free and you're not doing it to make money yeah then yes it's the right medium but if you're here to make a quick check i mean you know how hard it is it took me about eight months to start making money the first six months of podcasting i made eight hundred dollars oh yeah no i mean we were with another network for

a year and it was like the revenue was not even enough to pay the gas back and forth to san diego like it's yeah people don't understand that. They don't realize it. It's like, it's not a quick money grab. And it's also something that's not sustainable if you really don't like doing it. Because you have to be excited to talk to people. Yeah, you have to want to do it every single week. And you have to be prepared to be committed. Because if you like go off every other week or, yeah, maybe I'll do it.

Or maybe, well, no, you have to fucking commit. Consistence. I mean, it's, that's the hardest part. I mean, since we've started doing this, there's, I always tell people, there's not been one missed week or one missed episode ever, like for any reason. And it's like, if you don't have, if you're not going to do that, you shouldn't do it. Like, yeah, it just doesn't work. Yeah. You know, it's like, imagine if you just do an Instagram, like I'll be, I'll do this once and then I'll come back a few months. Like, it's just,

there's no point. Yeah. And now they're saying that we have to get on TikTok. Wait, I know. Again, so my agents told me that too. The social media one, she's like it's just there's no point yeah and now they're saying that we have to get on tiktok wait i know again so my agents told me that too the social media one she's like you need to get on tiktok and i'm like are you fucking kidding that's just one extra thing that i'm gonna have to do during the day like no it's i'm i'm here's what i would tell you to do go consume the content on tiktok like just sit there for a week and just watch it and you'll start to kind of get it. What it is, is it's nothing about pimping yourself out or your brand out. It's not like a place to distribute content. It's a place to entertain people. It's all about entertainment.

There's nothing. Don't you think it will then eventually turn into pimping yourself out? Yes, it will. Of course. I've seen Heidi Pratt and Spencer Pratt with their crystals. So that's their promotion. i do think it i don't know i think that that's what i saw on instagram like youth uses it like how the 19 year olds are using it but all right but i don't the youth is not my demographic right now that's true but at the same time you have to go where attention goes and where

attention's going is it's off instagram because so many people know that it's bullshit ads fuck well yes but also like if but if you don't like that medium and you know you're gonna never do it and you hate it like maybe just don't do it yeah that's true wait you know what i might try it out and become addicted it's just i think it's overwhelming to think of like a yet another thing we have to add of our on our list of shit to do in a day you gotta get like a young 19 year old that understands like what's coming up and just have them help you yeah that's that's what goes on in this world like i only young people because we're aging out right we're just lauren and i are done yeah i found that when i i hired a 21 year old and i found that was so good for the business

because she like breathes youth into what i do right and it's not about college or i don't give a fuck where they went to college like it's being a practitioner of social media they're young right and so to have them come in and like breathe youth has been helpful but you do have to probably get on tiktok i agree with your agent fucking a and you can do your new last name are you changing your last name i think so i think i'm just gonna i'm gonna change my full name is nastasia so like okay i think i'm just gonna like make it easy stassi schroeder clark oh that's a good last name too yeah stassi clark stassi clark is good as well you know i could just i like cut it all out i like a hyphen though you do i can't decide i mean it'd be really easy just to write stassi

clark you're lucky it's clark and not some like right outlandish last name that's a good last name yeah you know i i like bostick too if i didn outlandish last name. That's a good last name. Yeah. You know? I like Bostic, too. If I didn't like your last name, I wouldn't fucking change it. Oh, yeah. If there was a bad last name, definitely not taking it. Sorry.

Well, you're legally changed now at this point. There's no backing out. I already got you. I anchor babied you. Got your name changed. You're locked in. Eh. You're locked in.

You know, you never know. There's not a lot of escape now left for her. Not at all. I was talking to my Pilates teacher today, and I was like, you know. You know there's not there's not a lot of escape now left for her i was talking i was talking to my pilates teacher today and i was like you know you're so bougie um i was talking to my pilates teacher today such an overheard la it really is while i had a face mask on actually oh my god i told her i was like women like back in the 50s would like be at home cooking and like waiting for their man to come home and now women are bringing home half the bacon so what the fuck is the point of you of me there's not a lot of point to me i tricked you i

got you bringing home half the bacon now yes i tricked you i already told you and we have to wait till you have to do all all of this fuck this is a lot i know like but how often do you listen to beyonce's girls when she's like what is it? Whatever. She has to make a baby and then get back to business. I literally listen to that song all the time. God, I wish I was a better rapper. I need to listen to that song a little closer.

You don't listen to that song? No. I mean, I know the song. Oh, smart enough to bear your children, then get back to business. That was so white. That was was pretty white it was also pretty good that's pretty good okay no but honestly like what's the point like you could just get a vibrator lauren i already told you i tricked you there is no point to me you're locked in now though it's too late okay well if we break up i might just pull a miley cyrus where are you going

you never know that's just you have a lot of options probably okay so what is next for you your live tour like tell us tell us all the details when the show's out like what's happening you're writing a new book yes writing my second book um going on tour again at the end of february i literally don't know my dates i mean i looked at them and there was like a thousand so there's no way you should know yeah if you go to stassyschroeder.com slash tour, you can see if I'm coming to your city or town or anywhere near that. Yeah. I'm just trying to power through right now and like survive.

Well, people got to go see your show because I have a couple of people from the team. They went this weekend. We wanted to go, but we were. Well, I totally understand that. They said it was great. So thank you. I appreciate it. And what about the next book are you currently writing it yes so i've been writing it and i had to take two months off because of the tour so now i have to get back into that mindset again which is like oh listen i used to be addicted to adderall and i've been sober of it for over a year And the thought of like having to write this book without that, this is literally like

Adderall is like the worst, the worst. No offense if you take it, but I was addicted to it. And so now like it's like a daunting thought of like writing a book without help. If I don't ask you this question, the audience would be mad you brought up Adderall. How do you stay so slim and like tiny? I try to do intermittent fasting as much as i can like today i'm only gonna have like i haven't eaten yet i'm gonna have one meal today like it just but it depends that's not healthy for everyone so like i'm not out here trying to give

it actually is good though we've had a lot of experts on that are obsessed with it well whenever i say that people are like i can't believe you're promoting this i'm like well there are a lot of religions that fast like there are a lot of people who fast. So, like, I'm also, like, not a fucking health coach. Like, I'm just telling you what I do. But when I'm traveling all the time or working, it's really hard to just, like, stick to any one thing in particular. So, I just literally have to try and make the smartest choice wherever I am. So, you drink your Celsius in the morning.

I'm assuming you do coffee. No, I hate coffee. No coffee? No. How do you have energy? Celsius? Celsius. That's not really after taking Adderall.

Yeah, well. No coffee. No, I don't like coffee. It also makes me way shakier than like any like, for some reason, caffeine affects me hardcore. And like, I can't put on my false reason caffeine affects me hardcore and like i can't put on my false eyelashes if like i'm shaking i can't believe you don't drink coffee that's gnarly and then you wait until like five or four to eat i mean it just depends on the day like i

try to wait as long as i can until i i feel like okay it's time to have a meal but like also when i'm like doing the show we're drinking during our. How do you I feel like you always like have wine and you stay so skinny. I thank you. I don't feel that healthy right now. I don't feel like I'm at my best. Like I'm ready to like have two months at home to get back on like working out and like eating normal and not drinking a lot because like touring is like just a bunch of shit food and alcohol.

What's your alcoholic beverage of choice it was an aperol spritz we're shifting that for the spring tour to be healthier tequila on the rocks okay i'm shifting that too when i give birth so i think the wine's over for me i think there's so much everyone says that like it's it's so hard to like work off the weight of wine that too much sugar yeah i mean i think i'm gonna switch to tequila on the rocks with i found this lime juice off thrive that's like just lime no concentrate and i'm just gonna pour that in it with the lemon juice yeah that's the way to go and you'll drink less i mean how easy it is to just like drink fucking two bottles of wine like

you don't even realize you're doing it i know i just love i love the act of like i do too the quark hearing the sound the sound is like orgasmic and then yes the glass i know the whole i fully feel you and listen i say that i'm just gonna drink tequila starting 2020 i doubt i'll actually stick to it so hard yeah that's my vice okay book podcast or resource that you would recommend to our audience that you has brought you value could be anything could be a netflix show any kind of resource lore that's a random one it's called lore lore yeah yeah what is that they basically just like tell you stories about god like it could be ghost things it could be mystical things it could be ghost things. It could be mystical things. It could be something about history.

It's like it's tales. And like they just do very, it's like specific research about like specific things that have happened all over the world. It's really hard to actually explain what it is because they cover so much. But like that is a good one because it's like not something that I'm typically thinking about or watching, you know. This is your meditation. I've noticed that i think you and

michael's meditation is to watch fantasy i think it's therapeutic i mean i love fantasy yeah well i just just disconnect from the world tomorrow at eight i'll be at pilates with the mask on i like going to those movies alone i don't want to i just looked at bo's instagram and he's like going to movies alone are the best and i'm like that is a snub right there well a public snub well it's it's you get to go in there you get a nerd out you know you nobody has to watch me by just like you don't want to see me in that theater all sorts of disgusting things where can everyone find you pimp your instagram out and your website and everything and you're just fab like tell us about that really quick before you go.
