The beautiful sisters, Nikki and Bree Garcia. Hello, ladies. Hello. How are you, Brittany? I'm doing great. It's been a while since I've seen you all since I did your podcast. Right. It has been a minute.

Wow. I know time like seriously flies. It's crazy. It does fly. I'm going to read a little bio about you guys in case people listening don't know by some weird reasons. Who you guys are, which is. which I know was impossible, but still, let's talk about all the things that you guys have done. I love it.

Ngui and Bree Garcia are twin sisters, best known for redefining what women could be in WWE, becoming global stars through wrestling, reality TV, and entrepreneurship. They also headline the E-Hit series Total Bellas, which chronicled their careers, family lives, and transitions into motherhood. Today, they co-host the Nikki and Bree show on Sirius XM, where they brought. when unfiltered sister conversations, parenting, pop culture, and life after the ring. That's S. Yes.

That is you all. Okay. First off, a weird question. How do you guys decide whose name goes first? So I always think alphabetical order. So me before N, but Nikki thinks because she's older and before B, I agree. Because everything says Nikki and Bree. Yeah, everything is Nikki and Bree.

but I feel like because it was always that anyways at WWV that we had to keep the flow. But I was born first. So it's my birthright. How? Yes. You were born first by how long? 16 minutes. So my mom had no idea she was having twins.

What? I know. It's crazy. She was barely 19 years old. And I came out and I was five pounds. And they assumed she was just having like a big baby boy the whole time. She didn't do an ultrasound. Yeah.

She didn't do an ultrasound. Just did heartburn. beats. Breer was breached. So when I came out, they were like, wait a minute, here's this five-pound little baby. And then they started to clean my mom up and it was a nurse who was like, wait, I hear another heartbeat. And out came Bree who claims she was a miracle baby, which I guess. I was a miracle baby and they saved the best for last. So that's why my name's first. Oh my gosh. I love it. Okay. Well, let's get into some of your reality TV life before we get into some of your WWE life as well.

Like me, you guys have shared much of your lives on camera. What's the biggest misconception people still have about you? That's really good. Yeah, I feel like a lot of stuff that was showcased throughout, especially total bella's, not so much on Total Ditas, but Total Bellas, was that I always felt like I was a little bit of the villain in a way. Like I always had the issue or I'm just kidding. No, but I just think it's how they made it.

I think what it is is sometimes people now they're used to it, but at that time they weren't used to people having honest answers. Like everyone else was that's the thing. So I just like said what I felt. Okay, so that's my thing is they didn't make you the villain. It was you feel like you were misunderstood because you had strong opinions and you voiced them and people took it as that. But you weren't edited to be that way.

People just, I did that I felt, but people didn't know how to take your strong opinions. But I feel like at times, for me, it's like when I would use my voice or if I had feelings about something, people would misunderstand of me thinking I'm playing the victim, right, of how I was portrayed. When I was being honest about certain situations I was put in or I don't, don't you agree. Like, I get misunderstood in that way. Yeah. But for me, it's like they took vulnerability and made it that when I was just being vulnerable. And I think what was hard is you see a strong woman. And then the minute she has those moments of being vulnerable, they're like, oh, what a victim.

And it's like, she's trying. I mean, she's full, bad for her. Right. And you're like, no, I'm actually letting you in to me. What a great. She tells people what she feels. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. I can relate to both of you because, I mean, going through and showing so much of your life is always hard. There's so many people judging, but you have so much support at the same time. But I definitely have felt like, you know, especially with last season of the Valley, there were times I was going through the hardest thing ever.

And a lot of people were like, oh, she's trying to play the victim. She's trying to do that. But it was what I was really living. Yeah. During that time. And I think being very open and honest about who you are are and what you're going through makes what reality TV is so great

because other people can relate to that. completely agree. Yeah. I so, I completely agree with exactly what you said and have been through that too. And it is funny when you talk about exactly what you're going through, how people voice that. And what I learned is it's, you never win. I could play it a million different ways and every way I would play it was wrong. It was so mad at an issue.

So I started to not care. And I was whatever. Yeah. That's the, that's what you have. to do over some point because you're just living your life. I always say that even if Jesus Christ had an Instagram, he would have haters. Like, nobody is going to be perfect. You know what I mean? For sure. So true. Some things that somebody dislikes or whatever. So you can't, you can never win. So, Bree, you think you're the most outspoken sister? Oh, yeah. For sure. Oh, yeah. Especially the older,

the older we've become, I definitely have become more outspoken. And I don't care. about whatever consequences come with how I feel. Yeah. Yeah. But, you know, and Bernie, I feel like you can relate to this. Like, I've always been outspoken in many ways. And I feel like, yeah, there was maybe like in the past even more so. But I think when things happen to us in the public eye, it starts to make us a little bit, like, more reserved because we take on so much.

And then it's like after so many years of taking on a lot of stuff, you just. just kind of become reserved and it's like I'm just choosing not to use my voice in certain ways where, oh, she's gone way the other way, which I envy in ways because she gets like applauded for it, but I feel like so. Well, I think so. People love it. But I feel like some of the things you say, if I was to say it, they'd be like, ew, look at her. She's so all that. You say it. They're like, yeah, Brie, bring her chickens or bring her chickens. Yeah. So I like just, I don't know. It's made me more reserved. I don't know if you feel that at all, but maybe it's the way I say it.

Why? How do I say it? Maybe you say it in a different way. A majority of the time I say things that are rated are that are like too outspoken, but like, but they're hilarious. Yeah. This actually goes into one of my questions that I had for you all. How do you decide now what parts of your lives stay private versus public? Definitely stuff with the kids. Yeah. Like there's times we don't mind talking like we don't mind talking about motherhood. Like, you know, the hard weeks, the good weeks. But we've realized, like, you know, we try to keep private a lot with the kids unless, you know, they give us the okay. And definitely, like, I respect my husband and, you know, like, I'll definitely talk about a lot of things with us,

but there's some stuff I know to keep private. But other than that, we, nothing else. Everything else is page, not off limits. Right. I know. It's weird. Like, since I've become a mom, it's like I'll go into some sex things and then it's like I feel myself like pulling like away from it because I feel weird because then I started to think about Mateo and I'm like oh gosh like should I be talking about this like one day I know it'll hear and then it was like so rude because I want I'm kind of recently what was like the end of 2025 I was talking about like I how I hadn't had intimacy for a long time and there was this guy on a radio show that was like gosh I mean what is it she's talking about and it comes off so angry like why do women who haven't had intimacy all the time come off angry I didn't come off angry at all and I was like see you're like there's so many actually angry dudes out there dudes that aren't getting laid so like I didn't come off angry at all I said actually in 2026 I hope to get a lot more intimacy because I hadn't had any first 2026 it's more laid baby I love it

Exactly. But then it's like, it just made me feel like, ooh, see, is this why I don't want to talk about it? There's so many angry men on social media. Like, gee. That's so funny. I recently did, I had a lucky energy drink that came out. And we did this whole commercial. And obviously it was like a spoof. It was supposed to, it was meant to be funny. But a lot of the stuff that we talked about, it was like I was in a farm. And we were sending the men there to become ick free. And the girls were talking. about their icks and it was like this really funny thing and a lot of it was like stuff that aren't even real it's just like over exaggerating to be funny like some of it was like um eating an ice cream cone eating ice cream with sprinkles or like washing their hands lifting for a high item riding on the back of a bike like like little stuff like that and there were so many men in the comments who were so offended and I I couldn't believe it I was like obviously this is a joke we want everybody to wash their kids Yeah.

Just trying to like explain like the icks and like be funny about it. But I didn't realize. Oh yeah. Well, this is what I've realized so much with them on social media is their triggers for them. It's like when they hear it, it's because that there's something that had a button in them and they need to go look in the mirror and figure out where they need therapy because like obviously somebody bothered you of what I said. And you're trying to take it out of me and like. call me all these bad names and be whatever, but you need to go figure out what your trigger was. I know I have to do that for myself.

So exactly. Yeah. That was that was crazy for me to see. So I understand what you're saying. It's not that big of a deal. No. Oh, my God. At all.

Oh, good. Okay. If you could redo one reality TV moment, would you? Or do you think that it helped you be a better person today? Oh. I mean, I definitely feel like watching. Watching yourself back on reality TV definitely teaches you a lot about yourself. Because they can't only edit so much.

They don't, you know, at least on our show, no one never forced us to say anything or do anything. So it definitely was like I had a lot of growth for sure. So I appreciate it. So everything, all the good, the bad, all of it. And molded me into the woman I am today. So, yeah, I'll take it all. Totally. And I'm actually grateful for some of the amazing moments that we.

get to see, you know, like again and again, whether, you know, it's with the loves or past loves or babies or whatever it might be. Like, I think we're lucky that we get a habit documented moments with Niana. Yeah. I think of all that. And I would definitely even relive some because it was so fun. I think now being the mom with a lot of responsibilities. I'm like, all we had to do is show up, drink, have fun, wrestle. I'm like, man, those were the days. That was like a lot of fun. Even though it felt like mentally stressful. I'm like, it's not like now when you're a parent, you're like, wait, that was so easy and fun.

Like, how cool, you know? I mean, there's also a lot of mental stress for all of us, but and it isn't as a parent. Well, it was a gyp and type. Exactly. Yeah. So. Okay. So WWE.

That was huge for you guys. And Nikki, you recently got back into it. Yeah. And you look amazing. How do you feel? I feel so. good. You know, it was crazy because when I look at like my first debut back in January at the or February back at the Royal Rumble and to see myself now, I am like a totally different woman.

And I was definitely needing to be back in that ring, be Nikki Bella again, fearless Nikki. And it's just crazy the growth I've had in 20, like in 2025, it was one of the best years of like growing, finding myself again, my sexiness, my strength, my confidence. And help-wise, I feel so great and strong. I've gotten my, like, inner core back and my strength as well as my outer strength. And just to be amongst the women now, like, these women are incredible. I always tell Brea, I go, this is the best locker room I've ever been a part of. Not only how these women work in the ring, they're incredible wrestlers, but they're sweethearts.

They're really good people. Love that. And she sees me always sending photos. every Monday night and like sipping tequila with everyone. I'm like, hey, girl, I miss you. Girls look at her best life. I am. I'm having so much fun.

And I feel like you could see it. I just feel like I really have gotten my happiness back, my groove back. I just, I kind of feel like I'm my, like, 2015 self. Yeah, but like in a better era. Right. And what's great for Nikki is like, you know, when she doesn't have Mateo, she's out wrestling. So she's not like at home alone. And then she comes back off the road.

but it's her time with Mateo. Yeah. So she gives me an island. Yeah. Give herself to him. So that's a really great balance. I feel so grateful because it's made. I like to.

Yeah. Thank you. It's been the best thing. Because in the beginning with co-parenting, when I was just be at my house so long without Tay, I would just cry the whole time. I was like just so sad. And now I get to go kick us and travel the world again and be at the Bella Army. And so it kind of takes your mind off of.

the time that you have to miss because you have to. Exactly. Co-parenting and everything. So I understand completely. Mental health care is so important. And as we all know, I've had many ups and downs over the years. And I've had many of friends who, you know, have suggested different therapists and different things like that and different friends who have had trouble finding great therapists.

Bree, how do you feel watching your sister go back? Is it make you hungry to go back yourself, or is it something that you're just glad to watch her do for that? Definitely glad to watch Shirley. That's for sure. But yeah, I mean, it's definitely like her energy is contagious. And, you know, I was told every, like, I tell a lot of them. I'm like, I got one last run in me. So hopefully that comes true. Who knows right now? I'm enjoying my chickens, my garden beds and my wild little kid chicken. Yeah. But. I love that. You're like a girl that lives in California. I know, be 100%. It's like so, I mean, every day I'm like out there with my chickens. And, you know, one was taken by a hawk. So when.

they're out running around. I'm out there reading. Oh, no. That is so hard. It was so hard. And I found her and I was like devastated. So I sit out there with them and I just enjoy like the beautiful days in the air and like hearing them, the birds. I'm like, you know, this is a beautiful place to be in life. Yeah, but then she gets into Bury mode and she starts to wrestle people. Oh. Uh-oh. You know, once in her, once a wrestler, I was running. Do your kids wrestle and like play wrestle and do all that? Oh, my boy, buddy. He's a wrestler in the making.

So, whereas sometimes I'm like, slow down. Like, he's too much at times. But my daughter, zero interest as right now. She's very gentle and she's my artist. But he is a wrestler in the making. Yeah. And Theo, he loves it. He likes everyone else wrestling except for mommy because she told me it makes him sad.

But he now, he found out that I'm Nikki Bella. Because, you know, you just don't tell your kids your stage name or whatever. Yeah. But now he'll just like randomly tell people like Saturday we're at Traintown and he like met this kid and they were playing and then he looks at him and the parents and he goes, did you know that my mom's Nikki Bella? She's a wrestler. And I go, okay, Mateo. And he goes, but you are Nikki Bella. I didn't go, well, I'm mommy. And I go and hi, I'm Nicole. But I'm like, I mean, I'm also Nikki Bella. But like it's so cute. How is like. Yeah. That is really cute. I want to know. What was the hardest part being taken seriously as a woman in WWE early on? Oh, you know, it's that we were capable. Yeah. Like the biggest thing is I feel like early on it was hard to trust what the men were doing.

Like, could the women do it too? So, you know, in the era we were in. And you're given what you're given and you make the best out of it. But I feel like that was hard on who was in charge at the time to just like really see that. They don't see that now. Now they know the women are capable and you see the women thriving and doing everything the men are doing. It's a really beautiful thing and such a great time to be a woman at WWE. But back in the day, that was the issue we all had.

Yeah. Inequality. Right. You know. Yeah. When it came to so many things. It was such a fight. Just TV time.

pay, you know, time in general of when you're out there and just showing your worthiness. Like it's hard as a wrestler to go out there and make people believe in you in a two-minute match. That's just, it's not possible. Even for the men, it's not possible. Yeah. So, yeah, exactly what you said, Bree. Yeah.

So what is amazing is that you guys obviously, WWE, fellow twins, had all these different things going on in your life, all these different chapters, motherhood, everything that you guys have been through. What advice would you give to women who feel stuck in one version of themselves? I mean, the biggest thing, because I know that feeling. I was stuck in that when I first had Bertie. I was trying to figure out, okay, who's the new Brie? Because it's definitely not the old breed, but I don't want the old Brie to be gone. But I'm a mom now.

I'm like, have all these other challenges. And it was just different. but was I what I realized is one I had a write out of list of who I wanted to be or who I you know kind of who I saw myself and then take a chance I feel like when you get so scared to take the sleep of faith maybe change our hair or style I don't know the way we look at things but like I had to take a chance of myself and I'm so happy I did and really was opened up to evolving I think evolving is really important yeah so yeah I just think like you just yeah and I did the work I had to work with like you know a life coach I had to do the work on myself mentally physically and I really love the person I've evolved and it's a mixture of the old brie and the new brie and it's a beautiful yeah yes it's it's life and you know I feel like so many people like we we were raised to believe that midlife there's a crisis when we saw people change you're like they're going through a midlife crisis and when I've realized now being to my 40s is no

they were entering a new era. I feel like when you enter your 40s, you start to realize like, potentially I'm halfway through life, hopefully not, but pretty much, right? So people change their mindsets. They're like, no, this is the person I always wanted to be or I don't want to take bullshit anymore or I'm going to try new things. It's not a crisis. It's like, no, this is a new version of myself.

I'm evolving. I'm becoming different things. And when I was at the Fiesta Bowl this past week, I was talking to this guy and I was like, whoa, our conversation was really inspiring. And what I think your female listeners would love is he booked a one-way ticket to go do a job. And he and I were talking about like having that leap of faith or having that one-way mindset. You and I, when we took that link for WWE, we didn't know what kind of wrestlers we'd become, even if we didn't.

But we drove our car from California to Florida on a one-way drive, renting an apartment, seeing what we can do. And it's been 20 years of an incredible journey. So take those leap of face. whatever's in here that's burning inside that your mind is always dreaming about or thinking about, that's your soul telling you something and that like this is what you need to do. So if you're always thinking about starting that workout class, singing, cooking, a job, chickens, a certain job. And it's always there. Whatever am I mean. Girl, you got to see how I got my chickens.

You would talk about chickens for a while. And then also one day someone was like, do you want to adopt seven chickens? and she was out there building a big old coop and now it's like... I talk about getting a chicken coop in my backyard all the time because back home in Kentucky, obviously, we have so many chickens. And my son Cruz loves the chickens. And I'm like, it would be such a therapeutic thing for him. Yeah, it is. It is.

You have the chickens and, you know, more animals around him because I can really tell that he loves that whenever he's back home in Kentucky. Yeah, I know. You got so cute. Yeah, you got to do it. But you know, that guy took a one-way ticket. Where do you go? He'd one-way ticket to Miami to start a company with a friend that he didn't know what would do, how it would do.

20 or 30 years later, incredibly successful. He's never done anything else in his entire life. Pretty much works with NFL and built an incredible company. And he goes, I took a one-way flag. It was not a lot of money in my pocket because when my friend and I talked about this, it just gave me faith that I felt like it was the right thing to do and I did it. Because he and I said, we're going to co-write a book called The One Way Ticket. Oh, love that. I love that. So you guys said that you took a one-way trip from California to Florida. I took a one-way trip from Kentucky to California.

Yeah. Life change. Like, you know, I think people should take advantages of the opportunities when they come or, you know, it's very scary. Trust me. I know you guys know how scary that can be. But things can always get better. Always. And if you fail, then it's like, that didn't work. So let's go on something else. Failure's okay. I think people tend to think failure is a bad thing. No, failure is getting to know like, okay, that what if is done. So now let's go succeed somewhere else. And you know, people will be like, oh, you guys did that when you didn't have kids. But I will say this, when we did have kids and married in 2020 when we were all in the pandemic, Nikki and I found houses on Zillow in Napa Valley. And we never sawmed. We took a leap a fate to come out to wine country to work on our wine brand and we've been here you know for five years going on six now it has been the greatest decision we've got this not only for us but for our family

like our kids are thriving here we get to live like country chic in a way it's like we've got to you know bonita bonita is thriving so much because we're hands on and so you can also do it with the family your husbands have to be on board that's for sure but you don't have to be single you can do it with your family too. I agree. Yeah. Well, that's very inspiring. Let's go into motherhood a little bit. How did becoming moms change how you see yourself as women? I feel like for me, it was, it's when I truly found my voice because you all sudden have someone that you want to like keep safe and you're going to protect. And so all sudden I was sticking up for Bertie. And then I'm like, oh, like, I can do that for me too. And so I think when I became a mom, it was really awesome to get that kind of bravery and fearlessness and just finding my voice.

Yeah. And you just get this type of strength and will and grid of like you can do it all. You can do it tired. You can get it all done. You can do your life and their life. And it's like you can go through divorce. You could go through whatever it may be and things are going to be fine. But it's wild. A kid, they truly make you a light in us. Like we truly become the queen of the. the food chain, the jungle, whatever it may be. It's Jill of all that. Yeah. I love that. I definitely feel like whenever I had my son, it opened my eyes to a lot of things that I didn't see that were happening in my life. And it also may be such a stronger woman. I love interviewing strong women.

That's why I'm asking questions like this because I think it's very inspiring. And, yeah, you guys are amazing. And I love that. What kind of examples do you hope that your kids see whenever they look at you? Oh, gosh, you know, I hope when my kids, like when they grow up and like the things that they take away is that mommy worked hard, but she also enjoyed life. She made everything special and she took the, like that I put them first because I really do. I put my kids first above anything. Like I have taken a big step back in my career and I say no to a lot of things to make sure I'm with them.

And I feel like they really do recognize that. And so I just hope they take away that family is the most important thing in the world and that they, you know, they'll teach their children that as well. Yeah. And I agree with you. It was cute because the other day, Mateo, he had asked me if I'm a Lego master like him and his dad. And I was like, you know, mommy? Mommy tries that I'm not the best of building Legos, but he could totally tell. But I'm trying. And he goes, you know what you are, mommy? So I'm thinking he's going to, I don't know what he's going to say. like some maybe about cooking and cleaning or I don't know. He goes, you're a hard worker. And I was make, oh my gosh, baby. And it's like what he just notices I do. You know, I work hard a lot because I want him to have the best education and all the things and whatever.

So that like made me realize like I didn't even ever have to tell him that. He was just watching me. And he saw what mommy does. So with family being present and being a hard worker. Oh, that's beautiful. We'll do a rapid fire really quick because I definitely. We'll see what you guys would answer. Who's more dramatic?

No. Whatever. Fine. Nikki. Nicky. Is that a dramatic answer too? Yeah. Who's the better cook?

Oh, Rui-Ree. Brie's the better cook. Okay. What's your current guilty pleasure reality show? Oh, my gosh. Or any show. Like, okay. Emily and Paris, the latest season.

Nikki, what advice on co-parenting would you give, which I would appreciate any advice you could give me? Oh, my God, that's so sweet. You know, it's hard. But it's good days and bad days, right? I think always. But my thing is, is we always put Mateo first, which is great. And even on the difficult days, what I've realized is instead of battling the other person on like, but you should be figuring this out or you should, you just figure it out.

You just always take control. And I think that it helps relieve. Like, I think you kind of taught me that. Like, don't depend on the other person. Just get it done. Do even if you got to take control of all that or this, you will feel better instead of stressing and having arguments or whatever. And then Mateo stays like in a good place. And I have to admit, we both have been really great with co-parenting.

So I. And communication. And communications keys. I got to. Yeah. I appreciate that. But it's not even battling the little stuff. Just you have to get it done.

Right. Okay. Thank you for the advice. I'm going to travel artist. It's art. Right. It's hard. Okay, before I let you go, two quick questions that I ask every guest that comes on this podcast. If you could be on any reality TV show, what would it be and why? Oh, that's a really good one. You know, after seeing my sister on Traders, which I was going to do one time, but I didn't. I feel like I would do, I say I'd do good, but I might be jinxing myself, but I feel like traitors would be a fun one. Yeah. Like mess with people. Yeah. Well, I wish they still had that one. Wasn't there a reality show where a bunch of single girls went to Paris to like go find love? That was a movie. No, there was a reality show. But that was a Netflix Christmas movie. No, I swear there was a reality show where they sent American girls to Paris to Paris. So you would do a dating show? Well, no, no, no, no. You'd be the Bachelorette? No, yeah, right. I will not be kissing. Come on. A ton of dudes. Because I'd love to see her as a bachelor's. I would. I would. just have my popcorn and be laughing little time. I would love it too. She would get so irritated and get the egg. When you talk about the ex, I would have X left and right. Now, what else would I do? Um, I feel like we've talked about what something like, oh, and you did it, the special forces. No, I did she scared. That's embarrassing. That's embarrassing. No, but you guys would be fabulous. That would be fun. I don't know. I give you credit, Brittany. For God, that shit's hard.

Because they've asked us and we've said, no, we just didn't feel like it was the right time. I'm doing by heights. So like, me too. Yeah. So I can't do some of that stuff. Yeah. Also, I wasn't physically prepared.

I wasn't mentally prepared at the time. But it was in a time where I also wanted to say yes and try new things. I really needed to be out of what was going on in my life. So I tried it. And it was still a wonderful experience that I would never take for granted. I got to be in Morocco. I got to jump out of a helicopter. I got to do like all these crazy things that I would have never,

ever done in my life but it was a really cool experience but you two would go much further than I've was so yeah I can see you all on there for sure yeah you knew who I was so impressed with um was Jesse James Decker oh yeah she was she she crushed it yeah she was awesome and she was so because people can't see I mean my journey on there was very quick but for me it felt like it lasted a hundred years but I was in the front of the line like had to lead the people which was awful blindfolded and jesse was behind me and she could tell i was like breathing really hard because they put the bags over our head and we're like in a hundred degree weather and it was just like terrifying and um i'm standing up and she was behind me and she was like

massaging my shoulders trying to like me down and make me feel better so that's so sweet that's so sweet yes she was great she i love that i couldn't do that the last question is who is your favorite reality TV star. Oh, you know, I, wow. That's like that one's really, because I feel like there's people I've like, really have respected. Okay, I'll tell you why,

who I used to love, I would be always entertained with. What was her name? I love New York or New York. Oh, yeah, Tiffany Pollard. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, she can get enough of her. Okay.

She is hilarious. Okay, that was, like, my favorite to watch. Like, she was someone who caught me on the couch. And I'm like, I have to watch everything she did. You know who's mine, like who first came into mine would be Simon Cow. And I think because I got to know him behind the scenes of AGT extreme, but now he has his new show on Netflix. And you see like a very soft side of him. And I mean, he would obviously always crack me up on American Idol, like what he would say to people and how he does it on AGT.

And then it's nice when you see this other side of Simon. But, and you would consider him a reality star, right? I guess. I don't know. He's going to have for someone with their life safe. Competition shows and yeah. Yeah. I mean, I do love Ariana Maddox. Oh, yeah. I like Ariana. Yes. Katie's, I love Katie.

Yeah. I mean, your guys' whole group is great. Well, the girls. Yeah. I'm like, I'll say, well, the girls. The girls. Yeah. And the Nader's sisters have been cracking me at. That's what I haven't seen yet. So I need to, to, to watch. I haven't watched all I knew. I haven't seen it, but I love Brooks.

She, I knew Brooks before she did it. And so I love her. Yeah. I'll admit, I'm really bad with reality. And I think because I did it that when I watched stuff, yeah, I like scripted. I like can tell you about all characters I would love to like shows that like to be on.

Yeah. Yeah. No, I know. I always ask that to every question because it is a reality podcast. No, totally. You know, who their favorite is, what their favorite shows, what they would like to be on. But I just want to say thank you all so much for being here today. Y'all are always so fun.

Please come to L.A. Let's go to dinner. Yes. Have fun. Let's get. Let's have some wine. We could have fun with the kids. We'd have a mom's night out.

Whatever. It would be so fun. I like that. That'd be so good. Yay. Okay. Well, I love you, girls. Thanks so much for being on.
