Dracarus, b***hes. Welcome to straight up with Stasi. This is f**king weird. This is the first time I am using what what is this? I don't know. My phone is connected to my podcast. I have 2 different headphones on, and I'm talk FaceTiming with Taylor Strecker in this podcast. Girl, hey. This is, this is weird. This is, this is bizarre. Like, I almost, like, how are people doing this? So I've been doing this now for, like, so my radio show is still Monday through Friday, 2 hours of, like, content. So it's usually live in studio in the morning, but now we're doing, like, like, live tape prerecords. And so some of my cohosts have Zooms. So I've learned how to do this, like, system where you record into your device, like, you know, we usually would in person Yeah. But you have to do it over f**king, like, FaceTime Yeah. Because we're in quarantine mode. So weird. How how is I don't even know how to have a conversation right now. I need to get what you know what? I need to get with the times. I need to learn how to use electronics and stuff. I mean, so many people were already doing this anyway. Isn't this what Watch Your Crappins? Don't they do this? This is totally what Watch For Crappins does. Yeah. They and and and they were doing it just out of pure laziness. Like, they just didn't feel like leaving their respective homes and, you know, meeting in person. God bless them. And, also, I believe 2 judgy girls I actually don't listen to the podcast. I know of it, obviously, but I've heard that I think they're cross country, so I think that they actually have to do this too. So there's lots of people God bless all of them who have been just choosing to do this. I'll say this. Okay. So, obviously, this pandemic is terrible for health reasons, for economic reasons, but I will say that there are some silver linings of any disaster. And for me as a podcaster, this is a silver lining because, you know, I live in New York. I have you. You live in LA. I have a lot of contacts that live in LA. And, like, I'll be like, oh, well, I'll fly out to LA and then I'll do, like, 6 podcasts in one day and then, like, bank them all together. But I now am like, s**t. I mean, we could just, if somebody's got the Zoom device, we could just do it this way. Yeah. I'm actually like, wow, wait, are Stalsey and I, like, gonna do a podcast with each other every single week? Fine. Fine. Let's just do it. I mean, listen, life is scary right now. As of right now, I don't have any sponsors this week, so, I'm doing this s**t for free right now. I have a sponsor. Thank you. I'm doing it for the listeners right now and to keep myself busy because I just need an outlet to b***h and moan and complain and connect. What has every day been like for you? Every day has been just, you know, this is an annoying answer, but I've been weirdly the busiest I've ever You that is a really f**king annoying answer. It I know. And I apologize to anybody who's, like, god forbid, lost your job or, like, like, feeling like you're gonna get laid off because times are f**king scary. And my dad's a doctor. He went to Harvard. He's the surgeon. But, he you know, the man's the smartest man I've ever met. He's so hardworking. And, like, I'm scared about my parents in these times. You know? Like, I mean, he can't see patients. And if he's not seeing patients, he's not working. He's not making money. So I get that this is very, like, real and scary, but podcasting has never been more, you know, relevant and important in people's lives because you can only watch so much news before you start to f**king think, like, the world is going to end in a contagion style. No. 100%. I've never tweeted so much in my life to distract myself. Like, I've I'm doing things that I've I haven't done before. Life is weird. Life is weird. TV's awesome, as we all know. It's great to binge Raheny as I know you did stop it. I can't stop. It's a f**king drug, Taylor. Real Housewives of New York, I'm pretty sure Beau is gonna break up with me. Like, we're not gonna make it to the altar because he's seeing who I truly am during this quarantine time. And I'm not a drug addict, but I am a roni addict. And, like, once I press play, it's, like, it's, like, the same feeling that, like, drug addicts describe when they're, like, I just can't stop. I'm, like, me neither. I totally get it. I have a problem. I have the first part of of addiction is admitting that you have a problem. That's true. That's a good you're a good step in the right direction. But, like, I feel like when you're on the couch for so long, like, studies have shown in the past that once you watch, I think it's over, like, 3 hours of television, you actually start to, like, go into, like it's it's no longer, entertainment, and it starts to become a depressant. So, like, it's it's no longer entertainment, and it starts to become a depressant. So, like, everyone comes sense because I feel a little I feel a little down. Because because you're watching people live life while you're literally being sedentary. Yeah. And so the more after 3 hours, like, for every hour that you watch TV, you get that much more increasingly depressed. And so people can only handle being on the couch for so long. So that's what I'm saying about podcasting is, at least with the podcast because, like, when I'm watching Vanderpump or, like, any or or Rojoney or Beverly Hills, any show that matters to me, I need to focus on that show. Right. But I've got s**t to do, like the dishes or cooking because I feel like that's all I do, or, like, the laundry. So or maybe I wanna take a walk. And it's, like, the only thing that you can keep you company during that is a podcast. That's true. So it's like a lot of people right now are listening to podcasts because they're lonely and they wanna connect, and I get that. So I feel like I would I wake up and all I do is I record for The Taylor Strecker Show. I do Taste of Taylor recordings. I do other people's podcasts. I'm just like it's I'm nonstop. And I so that's how I'm surviving this crazy time is I'm surviving through keeping busy. Okay. That is something that I wanna try and get into because I have been I have been the opposite. I feel like I'm someone who has to have, like, a schedule every day, get up, and go and do the what I have to be doing, and that's when I'm most productive. Like, the more I have on my plate, the more productive I am. And so being forced to just stay home and not, you know, having or the tour canceled and just, like, our reunion is now postponed. There's, like, so many so many things that we're I'm just, like, oh, my God. I can't motivate myself because I'm not busy. And so it's so hard for me to, like, get up and be, like, I'm gonna do a podcast or, like, get up or I'm gonna work on my book. Like, it's really, like, it's really hard for me. I'm watching all these people on f**king Instagram be like, this is your time. You know? Like, everything you know? It's like, yeah. I get this is your time, and I've actually been one of those annoying people that said that. Like, hey. Like, you finally have the time to, like, create your own blog if you've always wanted to or, like, start something. But, like, okay. It's actually kind of f**king hard to, like, get up and motivate yourself, especially when we're in sweatpants all day long. I'm like Literally. I'm feeling every other day, I go through either, like, feeling really crazy and sad or and depressed, and then I have, like, good days, which are they're normally the days when I put on makeup, like, today. I I feel okay today. I need to put some makeup on. I had makeup has not not touched thy skin in literally 2 weeks. The last time I wore makeup was when I saw you when we were panic escaping from Bensalem, Pennsylvania I know. After we heard that the tour was for that leg, like, just postponed, canceled, whatever. I know. And then that was 2 weeks ago. It's really sad. It's awesome. Can we talk about tour? Can we talk about a piece? I'm gonna cry. I miss it so I miss it so much. I miss the bus. I miss everything. I really Can we talk about this? What do you miss about the bus? I just miss, like, well, first of all, I ended up liking the bus because I just You, girl, you are, you're a bus slore. You f**king love the bus. I loved it because it's like right after every show, I can just take off my makeup, put on comfortable clothes, go on the bus, we can either play UNO or games with each other or watch a movie. And it's like, it's like you're in a first class, like, JetBlue Mint or Delta 1 seat where, like, you you're forced to just, like, watch a movie, chill, and, like, go to sleep. Like, that's how I feel about it, except it's a bus. And we have, like, our crew with us, so it's it's just, like, fun. It's like a big sleepover party. I don't know. It was, like, a big sleepover. That last night that we had before the tour got postponed, canceled, whatever you wanna It felt like The Last Supper and we didn't even know it. I know. And we were all playing UNO. It was like a whole cast and crew. And it was like so fun and I was winning and crushing everybody and everyone was gonna yell at me. And then the world came to a screeching halt the very next day. But, like, yeah. I mean, it was like we I feel like we were just kinda getting into the groove of the bus. And, like, last when we did our first tour, it kind of was, to be honest, it was like the talent, which would be you, Beau, and me, and then there was, like, the crew because the crew works together, and they're the behind the scenes people. Like, they, like Yeah. They set the tour up, and, like, they set the stage up and all this stuff. And, like, we were always, like, very friendly with them, but, like, being on the tour bus with them You were like family. Yes. In family. Yeah. It's like you become so much closer. And I I feel like it's just been ripped from us. And I I feel so bad even complaining because, like, there are people who have it so bad right now. You know, they have it so bad. But, I mean, I'm entitled to to feel how I feel about what personally happened to me. And I was, like, just so looking forward to being on tour for a few months and, like, living that life and and meeting people and, like, going to different cities and towns and just the fact that, like, I thought we were all gonna be, like, on this journey for a few months, and now we're just I'm, like, stuck on the couch. It's freaking my brain out. I feel like this We were like like, in order to go on tour and, you know, maybe people like Chris and Doty don't understand this. You're an a*****e. Oh, we talking about it, girl. But I will say that I'm just a protective friend. But I will say that, like, going on tour requires so much mental energy and preparation. You know? And I know this sounds ridiculous, but, like, you like, I had to get this bod ready, you know, like, get a spray tank and my lashes done. Like like, you have to get, like, all of your supplies for, like, these long stretches and hauls. You're you have to pull your outfits. And then also you have to, like, get all your s**t done at home that you can't do when you're on tour. So, like, like, the like and then you start to gear up for, like, we're gonna be on this bus. We're gonna be performing. We have to get this energy. Like, you have to readjust your, like, your, like, circadian rhythm to get, like, into, like, a new groove with a schedule and a sleep schedule. Yeah. And so we were all, like, gearing up. It's almost like going to outer space. It is. It totally is. We were going to outer space. And then it's like, oh, psych. No. No. No. No. Don't worry. Don't worry. It's all good. And then you're like, what am I supposed to do with the next literally 3 months of my life? Yes. And then every and then everyone's like, oh, you're gonna you're gonna be grounded by not your parents, but by the government. Yes. And you can do and you have to stay so it's like not only is the tour no longer available to us. Yeah. But now, no society isn't. I know, Taylor. I know. I'm going f**king crazy. And you know what? At first, I thought I was like, oh my god. I'm gonna love this because I am, like, an ambivert. I'm mainly an introvert and I don't get FOMO and I love being at home. No, I am not thriving. I thought I was gonna thrive. This is not the journey that I want to be on right now. And I miss the grove so much. Yeah. What do you miss the most? I really I miss the Grove. Like, I sometimes I sit and I close my eyes, and I imagine to be at the at La Piazza, the Italian restaurant by the Grove, and just looking at the fountain in the water and drinking a Saint Stasi, yeah, they have a c**ktail named after me there, and eating prosciutto and mozzarella, you know, on a crostini. Like, that that and then maybe going and seeing a movie afterwards, popping into Sephora to buy something, a new eye shadow. Like, I miss the Grove and the tour. That is like the 2 things that I really, really miss. I miss exercising. Sugar bugger. I'm a sugar fish, and I'm really concerned about it. Like, I used to go there saucy. And and FYI, it was Weight Watchers approved when I when I was on Weight Watchers. I miss Weight Watchers, and I miss Sugar Fish. I can't even deal with the a diet takes so much mental energy and also, like, focus and motivation that I just simply don't have right now. So I will be making meatloaf tonight, and I know that's disgusting. But you know what? That's where I am right now. It's a vegan. It's really not disgusting. I love meatloaf. What is there does meatloaf have some stigma that I'm unaware of? I feel like there's, like, foods. Okay. So this is a meat thing. Okay. So I, like so I I've always thought I have, like, massive body dysmorphia, although I finally got myself to the place that I always thought I was. Does that make sense? A little, but not really. I'm an achiever. I'm an achiever. I finally got myself to the weight that I always felt that I was. Okay. So but I've so I've always been super insecure. Even when I was teeny, teeny, teeny tiny, I was always insecure about, like, my cellulite or that, like, I wasn't skinny enough, blah, blah, blah. So I always I've always felt like the chubby girl. Okay? Always, no matter what size I've been. Okay. And I've been them all. So as a chubby girl, I always felt insecure. Like, when I was little this is I'm going deep, man. When I was little, I used to always remember, like, my okay. So two things. When we were little, you know, like, when, wearing those, like, biking shorts was, like, en vogue? Like, you would have them in, like, blue and purple and pink, and you'd wear it with, like, a t shirt tied up? I don't think I did that. We're we're far enough apart in age that this might not have been, like, a trend for you? I don't I don't think I don't think I I I went there. Mm-mm. So I so my number one thing was that, like, I am, like, I'm I'm thick. Okay? I got I got I got athletic thighs. And so I would always feel like my shorts were cutting off the circulation to my legs. And, like, my f**king friends, their their f**king biking shorts would be, like, hanging off their skinny legs. And I remember so that was always, like, I felt very insecure about that. But then also, I remember when I was with friends, we'd get, like, ice cream or pizza. I'd always watch how they ate it because I, like, didn't wanna eat it first because I would just wanted to, like, scarf it down. Yeah. So I would, like, eat slowly just to make sure that, like, I wasn't eating faster than them because I thought if I ate it too fast, they would be like, that's why she's chubby. Again, this is all in my head. I wanna be very clear on this. Okay. So then I also developed insecurities about certain foods like that chubby foods. So like I would feel guilty ordering chubby foods. So like, what's a chubby food? A hot dog with chili on top of it. A chili dog, that's a chubby food. Oh, okay. Yeah. Wendy Wendy's chili, which is my f**king jam, which is weirdly healthy. That's also but that's also it's like one of those like, ew, of course, of course she eats that. And I feel like meatloaf is very much in that category. Alright. I see what you're saying. I understand. But, like, meatloaf, underrated. I love it. I think it's good. I'm going to cook the s**t out of it. If it turns out the way my memory, like, has it saved, because it's been at least 15 years since I've had meatloaf. I know. That is a please, Instagram story, that whole thing will. I actually, it's not a pretty food. I'm not sure. It's like hamburger helper or beef stroganoff. No one actually wants to see it. They just want to eat it. Yeah. You don't want to see what it takes to get there. You just want to see the final product, and maybe not even. Yeah. I'm also not the one cooking in this house, Bo is. That's been nice. That's like the only How's it going? That's the only fun part of the day. I literally look forward to Bo cooking dinner every day. Like, I wake up and I'm like, what's something good that's gonna happen today? Oh, Bo's gonna cook dinner. Can you believe that's the s**t I have to look forward to every day? It's insane what the world that we're living in right now. And I'm gonna tell you, I am I don't care if you're one of those people that's like, I need to get out, and I need to, like, do my thing. I my house is next to a public stairway. Okay? And I am watching all these f**king Instagram influencers in their, like, made up you know, like, their matching athletic, like, athleisure outfits, Instagramming themselves in the Hollywood Hills, like, going up and down, like, peace signing it, and I'm like, b***hes, go home. If I have to stay home, you have to stay home. If we can all just f**king get it together and stay home, like, every day that I see, like, a bunch of people hiking together is, like, to me, another day that I'm just gonna be forced to stay home. I'm, like, I'm getting bitter. And I feel like we need to talk about how we're feeling. More people aren't. A lot of people are being all positive and s**t. And sometimes, it's really hard to stay positive. Like, I spiral a lot. Okay. Wait. Wait. So tell me about your spirals because I like so I told you, I've distracted myself with work, but I will say, Tay and I really are not leaving the house. We were both scared to leave the house. Like we put the masks on and the gloves and then we like wash everything when we get home. And we're like It's not a fun experience to go out and come back home. You know what I'm saying? So we try to only go out like once a week for groceries. Yeah. And then we like, like, I have to get my medication soon, which I'm, like, having a mental breakdown about, like, going out and doing it because I don't wanna go to a f**king pharmacy. That's where sick people are, but I've gotta go. But, like, aside from that, we really are super self quarantining. Like, we were gonna go to her sisters, and, like, we decided not to do that because it just, like, we we're kind we're babies. We're scared to leave. You know? We haven't seen I mean, we had a date night with you and Beau last night. But, like, literally, we are not even in contact with, like, more than one person, like a a grocery clerk a a week. So we are, like, very much quarantined. We are so lucky that we have a really big a*s apartment, so we have space for each other. But we're on, like, day, like, 15 now, and I think we're gonna start to kill each other. Yeah. I just can't wait. Like, this is the thing. Beau ordered a big TV. I told you this yesterday, I think. And I'm just really looking forward to it arriving. They're like the way they're doing it is they're, like, setting it outside the house because we can't have contact with the people delivering it. So, like, I'm just waiting for that TV so that, like, Bo can go and make his, like, room, like, man cavey area and play games so that he doesn't resent me for watching Roni. Right. No. That's the only like, multiple TVs is the only way that people will survive this. Yeah. But, like, I I I have, like I'm busy, so that helps me be distracted. But I do have I've had, like, a handful of days where I'm, like, just, like, feeling so out of my own skin. Mhmm. And, like, something will trigger me. Like, something will get f**ked up with my show, and then, like, trolls will be like, you're so unprofessional. And I'm like, sorry. I got drunk and sent the wrong files. s**t happens. But, like, I feel like but when I go to that like dark place even for a second, getting out of it's nearly impossible. Yeah. Nearly impossible. So what makes you spiral? Oh, I just keep having nightmares that I'm sick. Every single morning I wake up and I've had just dreams and nightmares that I'm sick. And Beau has asthma, so I'm, like, extra concerned that I that I'm gonna get sick. And I'm not even going anywhere. I'm just like I I'm not there's no way for me to get sick. Right? Unless it's because someone delivered something to my house. But I'm, like, a little, I'm just overwhelmed by that. I'm just, I spiral because I feel like I don't have free will. Like, I spiral just because I'm used to being really busy all the time. You know, like, I'm spiraling just because I feel like a worthless piece of s**t. Like, it's like those things are are making me go insane. Like, I don't see the light at the end of the tunnel. Oh my god. This is such a depressing podcast episode. But this is how I mean, this is how I'm feeling. This is literally how this is exactly how I'm feeling. So I'm I can't sit here and pretend to be you know what? You know who I'm sick of seeing on Instagram? I don't even follow these people. Tyler and Hannah, those bachelor people. Oh, oh, yeah. You know, I, like, am so bad about the bachelor stuff. On Daily Mail, on my Instagram feeds, someone's always reporting on them. They're, like, always out for a run or, like, doing dances and they're, like, super happy. Like, it's the best f**king time of their lives. And I'm like, if I see one more thing and I get it, and I'm so happy for you that, like, this is, like, a fun vacation for you. Wish it was like that for me. Maybe I'm just jealous. But, like, if I see one more post, like, she did a post of her in a bikini, and she's like, what's more contagious than a smile? She got s**t for that. I'll tell you what's more contagious than a smile. Are you kidding me right now? She got s**t for that. I will say I think more people would rather hear you talk about spiraling and, like, missing the grove and, like, me being very concerned about Sugarfish. And will it ever come back? Can it recover? Can it recover? Oh my god. What will I do without Sugarfish? Like, oh my god. There's so many What will we do? Like, once, have you ever seen the movie 2012? Oh my god. It was fantastic. Made me watch it. It's so ridiculous. It was awesome. I love that movie. I love it. I love it. With John Cusack, I feel like, you know, like, I'm not gonna say what happens, I guess. Well, I have to. Sorry. Spoiler. At the end, when they, like, open they're all on the ship and they, like, open the gates so that they can go outside for the first time, I'm like, is that what it's gonna be like for us when this quarantine is over? It's like opening up the gates and seeing sun for the first time. Like, that that's what I'm imagining life's gonna be like. Like, when the quarantine is lifted and we're able and and businesses come back in the first time, I'm like, hey. Wanna go to the lifted and businesses come back in the first time, I'm like, hey, wanna go to The Grove? What is that gonna be like? I don't know. It's gonna be like the scene at the end of, Grease 1 when they sing We Go Together at carnival. Everyone's gonna be so nice to each other. Everyone's gonna love it. No. I think everyone's gonna be weird. No. It's gonna be weird. Yes. The social anxiety's gonna be, like, through the roof because I think by the time we're allowed out of this quarantine, we are all going to be, like, like, short circuiting. And it's like, me me mop me mop me mop ma ma. I don't know that we're being able to, like, talk normally to each other or, like, really trust that, like, COVID 19 is, like, you know, really like, it's is it is it really safe? I don't know. I think we're all gonna be a little bit failure to launch. God. This is even more depressing, Taylor. f**k. Yeah. The second Sugarfish is open and I feel safe going into the city, that is the location I'm going to, and I'm gonna eat I'm gonna eat Sugarfish until I have to become like a Roman. Go upstairs, barf it out, come back down, and eat more. I know that's bulimia, but, like, I'm like, I'm giving you a historical reference. And it's a thing. Okay? Back in the olden days when Romans, you know, were gladiators, the rich guys would have vomitoriums right next to them where they would eat, eat, eat, barf, and then continue eating and drinking. And I'm like, yeah. So it's like the equivalent of puking and rallying. I miss those days. Yes. Yes. It's puking and rallying. It's not like getting rid of the food because you wanna be thin. Like, these motherf**kers are fat. It's so that they could still eat. The way you feel about Sugarfish is the way I feel about Jones on 3rd. And we were ordering it up until the absolute moment that we couldn't. And the day that I went on my phone and saw that it was unavailable was so sad. Katie even called me because she was so sad. It's like we both saw it at the same time or something. And it was Jones at Chinese Chicken Salad. Yes. And I I discovered so many more things that I love at Jones on 3rd that, like, that was really, really sad. God. When was the last time you cried? Oh, I cry every day. Every day? Every single day. Yeah. Some days, I'm I will literally be, like, Bo and I will just be talking about and just something random, and I start crying. And I'm like, I don't know what's wrong with me. I I I'm sorry. Like, I don't know what's I don't know why I'm apologizing, but I'm like, I don't know why this is happening right now. And he's like, you're just you're feeling a lot of s**t. I'm like, I know, but But nothing just triggered me. I'm just like, it'll just happen. I cry every day. You're in a glass case of emotion. I am in a f**king glass case of emotion. I haven't cried once. Really? Because you're horrible. I am. What's wrong with me? And I'm a crier, people. Like, I'm a crier. I think that's the shot. You know what? I'm a little bit in shock. I wouldn't say I'm living my best life because my best life does involve me going to the grocery store every day because I really like to eat, like, like fresh, like, produce and stuff like that. So that is cramping my style big time, hence the meatloaf that's coming to my stomach very soon. But, aside from that, like, I really am such a homebody. Like, I'm realizing how much of a hermit I truly, truly am. And, like, I love Tay's family and I love my family and I love my friends. But, like, I actually like, last night's, Stacie, when me, you, Bo, and Tay, TD, my my girlfriend, Teddy, were playing we're playing heads up over this thing called zoom.us Yeah. Which, by the way, who even knew that zoom.us was a thing? Why didn't I invest in that? Like, right? Like, who's the owner? Is it Jeff Bezos? I swear to f**king God. Like, I am so I'm so mad at InvestNet. And he's like, people are on it all day every day. So people are on it for work. People are on it for pleasure. People are on it, like, for hanging out with their friends. So we did a hangout on Zoom last night, and that was so so much better. But Me, it does. Too. That made me feel a lot better. Like That that was the most fun I've had since all this s**t went down. I had I had a lot of fun staying at Katie and Tom's. I wish that we could still do that. And, like, there are days when we're like, are we allowed to go over to each other's house? We've both been quarantined. Are. I know. We're trying we're trying to be as safe as possible just because, like, you you never know. And we're just we I'm I'm such a rule follower. I feel like people would be surprised to hear that. f**king They're like, gird. But, like, I am a rule there's a reason that people put rules in order. You know what I mean? It's it's for the greater good, so s**t doesn't go crazy. So when there are rules, you should just probably follow them. Like, think about a line. If everyone decided they don't wanna follow the rules and were cutting each other, then there would never even be a way to get into something. Do you know what I mean? You have to just follow the f**king rules. Line cutters piss me off. So I'm just saying. I know. You really are. You're I I you would be so shocked to see what a a nerdy rule follower Stassi truly is. Like, I when people are like, rules are meant to be broken. Not really. No. They're not. They're they're actually not. Calm down, rebel. But, yeah, I'm realizing, like, I really am, like, a total I'm a total hermit. You know? I'd like to be in and last night, I'm gonna say something crazy. Unpopular opinion coming at you. I prefer hanging out with you and Beau over my computer than in person. That's rude. Because because listen to me. Oh, yeah. Because when everyone's tired, no one has to wait. Let me go back. Okay. If if if Tay and I were staying with you guys or you guys were staying with us, then I wanna be in person. But the idea of getting to hang out with your friends all night long and then be like, you know what? I think I'm done. Like, I gotta put my a*s to bed or, like, I need to make a snack immediately and that with a touch of a button, you are back in your home and, like, in your comfort place. That's a good point. Amazing. Okay. I get what you're saying. With friends and you gotta f**king get in the Uber. Get home. Get home. Go walk the dog. I mean, I still have to do that. But, like, yeah. I know what you mean. Like, like, leaving the party is the worst part. Leaving the weekend. Like, well, like, I love Tay's sister. I love her whole family. But, like, her sister and brother-in-law and their 3 little boys live super close to us, and her other sister's, like, usually there too. Right now, she's quarantining with them. And so we miss the boys and everybody so much we wanna go over there. But, like, like, the idea of how the f**k are we gonna get there is it's too daunting. He's like, no. You can't deal with it. You can't do that s**t, and you can't get into a random Uber. You can't go home and stuff. You just can't. Everyone just f**king stay home so that I can get out sooner. But I wonder I do wonder when this quarantine ends because it will and life goes back to semi normal because it will. Like, what, like, what will I do? Like like, I'm actually starting to realize that I don't need except for Sugarfish, I really don't like, I can talk to my family on your time. You and I are are we have different opinions on this. So quarantine is not that hard for you and you love FaceTime and you've realized you are a homebody. I, on the other hand, have realized I'm not as much of a homebody as I thought and that I need to go out and live my life and I need someone to overwork me. Like, I really like to be overworked. That I get, yes. I do miss I miss b***hing about feeling overworked. You love to b***h about feeling overworked. That's the thing. It's like, I love to be overworked, but I have to be able to complain about it. Wait. Can can we talk about the fact that Vanderpump is delaying the the reunion? That's crazy. Right? It was supposed to be April 3rd, so, obviously, no no bueno. Not gonna happen. Listen. The reunion is the worst day of the year. I dread it. Like, every time the reunion wraps break it down, actually? I feel like I don't really actually know this part of your life. Well, it's like a f**king f**king 14 hour day, it feels like. You have have to get there at 7 in the morning, and I we normally don't leave till, like, 10 PM. And so it's, like, all day of just rehashing s**t. Wait. No. No. So you get there and you you what time do you get there? 8, 9? Depends on if you're getting your makeup done there. Some people have to get there as early as like 6:30. Do you know what I mean? Like, or if you decide, like, I did my own makeup last year so that I could add hair so I could come in later. Later. So I went at like 9. So do you guys get, like, your own dressing rooms, like the way they do with the housewives? No. We have, like, 2 dressing room, 2 or 3 that we, like, are all stuffed in, and so it's, like, basically choosing who you wanna hang out with. And, like, I, like, claim a room, and so it's like if somebody walks into the one that is that I've been, like, hanging out in, it's kind of like, why are you here? How dare you? This is my room. But, yeah, we don't see the name Stasi on the door? We don't have we don't have our own. And then you just have to sit there all f**king day long and fight with each other. And it's like, woah. This was, like, a year ago. Why do we have to bring up all of this old s**t? And just it's like let's reference gladiators again. It's literally like a fight to the death. It's like it feels like the Hunger Games. It really is. And then once it's done, once it's over, it's like relationships are even worse than they were when we walked into it. So it's just So you walk into a reunion, like, knowing, of course, like, at least 1 or 2 people who you're gonna be fighting with. Yeah. But then how many people do you randomly start fighting with that you didn't even anticipate? Well, sometimes you end up fighting with everyone because you're like, why the f**k would you say that to her? Like, that's so rude. Like, James and I, do you know what I mean? Like, James and I, we don't have a relationship. We don't have a friendship or anything like that. I've never hung out with him 1 on 1, so I don't know him that well. There's nothing for me to really fight him about, but when he's mean to my friends, then I end up fighting with him, and I'm like, I don't even know you. Why are we fighting? So it's just it's all f**king weird. And I can't imagine, like, like, filming a reunion after the coronavirus. Like, I feel like I'm gonna sit there and be like, I don't care. I don't care. I don't care. I don't care. This is all so f**king stupid. Okay, well, I'm gonna make you talk about this because you have to. So speaking of. I'm treading lightly. Speaking of fighting with people. Yeah. During corona. Yeah, clearly I do care. We all literally just saw, like a day ago, you get into a Twitter feud with Chris and Dodie. Okay. I thought I didn't care. And I had been texting with with Kristen, like, about, like, just coronavirus stuff. Do you know what I mean? Like, normal, like, like, check-in with each other, like, nice s**t. And then f**king Katie sends me this video yesterday morning, and I'm like and she's like, you need to watch this. I'm like, can you just tell me what's in it? Please don't ruin my day. And she's like, no. You don't need to watch it. And I watched the whole thing, and it's the after show, the Vanderpump Rules after show with Kristen and Britney. And Kristen went in on my career And, basically, she just said, I'm the video. I'm gonna come crashing down. No one's gonna wanna listen to my podcast when I'm 40 years old. Who the f**k do I think I am? I literally don't do anything. Like, who the f**k are you? And I that it was, like, jarring, and I was so f**king I was shaking. I made Bo pour me an Aperol spritz. I haven't we haven't been day drinking. We kind of, like, we've been good at that. Like, we'll drink it, like, wine or whatever at night. But I was like, give me a f**king drink. I was shaking because, you know, yes, Kristen, me, and Katie have fought on Vanderpump Rules. Everyone's seen it. A lot of people think that, you know, maybe I was too hard on her. Fine. Everyone's entitled to their own opinions, but I personally don't think that I I was because this has been years of this s**t. So when I've had enough, I've kind of had enough, and I don't like, I've had enough. But I've never come after her career or her job or anything that she's working on. Like, I just there's no like, I get Katie made that comment about her t shirts, but, like, I didn't make that comment. And so for Kristen to come after, like, something that means so much to me that I work so hard on, where I'm like, woah, in such, like, a venomous way, I texted her privately immediately, and I was like, I'm, like, really disgusted by this because I've never done this to you. Like, yes, we're on a reality show where we have to speak our minds and talk about how we feel about each other. So, like, we can't just sit there and pretend to get along. Like, we're not. So, like, yes. I realize that we're fighting, but, like, this is different. Like, I and I I'm not doing this to you. And in every press interview I have, I try and be as, like, hopeful and nice as I possibly can about you, so this is insane. And then she responded a bunch, a bunch, a bunch, a bunch or whatever, and I was like, okay. Your texts don't make sense, and they're, like, like, jambling, like, my brain, and we're going in circles, and, like, you're talking about something that isn't what I even just sent you. And then I I was like, I'm gonna, like, tap out of this conversation because I just feel like you're deflecting. And she went on Twitter and was like, I want I just saw this video, and I'd like to say that, like, publicly, I don't feel this way about the way Stasse works or whatever she did. And then she, like, she's like, I'm not above apologizing or something like that, but she started, like, liking all these tweets that were, like, against me and against Katie Right. And then retweeting tweets that were against me and Katie. So I'm like, I've never asked you for a f**king public apology. Like, I just wanted to let you know. Well, it was damage control. She's doing it to cover her own a*s because she probably got people being like, yo, you don't cover people's businesses. That's f**ked up. Stassie's never done that to you. That's probably what happened. So she she she she says it. Right? The video's out there, then you guys get into like a real life, real, like, friend, whatever, acquaintance situation you guys are in, you know, text over it. She doesn't really apologize, and then she goes and apologizes publicly when she didn't even give you that privately. So, yeah, that feels like bulls**t. I'm it would just and, no, and privately, she, like, she did say, like, I'm sorry. I didn't mean for it to sound I will say that. Like, she did. I did. But then she kept being I didn't mean for it to sound that pretty I mean, pretty much That's not a good apology. She goes she was like, I must I must have been triggered by something. I must have been mad about something. I'm like, but and she was like, I've been you know, I'd gone through, like, the hardest time in my life with Carter and all that. And I'm like, okay. Are we still talking about this? Like, this is not I'm just saying, like, I've never done anything like this to you that's so awful and that you filmed this a month ago. So, like Right. That's bulls**t. Like, you filmed that after show a month ago. So I feel like that's bulls**t. Didn't ask you for a public apology, but I spiraled on Twitter. I've never been in a Twitter feud before. I felt How does it feel? I don't like it. I don't know how people can do this. I don't know how Jax Taylor can do this all the time. Twitter feuds are stressful as f**k. I was just like, oh my god. Who am I right now? Normally, I'm too busy to Twitter fight, and now I have all the time in the world to engage in a Twitter feud. And I feel, like, s**t about it. But, like, I spiraled, and it happened, and I and I did it, and I just, like, had to get it out there. And now it's like, f**k. I don't know. This is what quarantine life is doing to me. And there's so many bigger things in the world, like, that we should be worried about right now. And I'm sitting there on Twitter arguing with Kristen over the after show. Like, really? Like, I am so embarrassed for myself. I'm embarrassed for myself. That's all it is, and that's probably what's contributing to this mini depression that I'm f**king feeling right now. Thank God I put on makeup that was helpful, But, like, I don't know. Every time I think that, like, I'm getting close to, like, being okay with Kristen, something happens and just, like, pushes me farther. And I'm like, I just don't wanna deal with this anymore. Like, this is this is why I tapped out. This is why I took a step back. Like, because Right. You're sitting here liking all of this s**t and reposting s**t that people are saying bad about me and Katie. So, like, go go focus your half a*s apology. Louder than words. Go back. Like yeah. It's a half a*s apology. It's, like, literally about her. It's to make her look nice. Like Yeah. Well, she she's on she's on the I'm a victim. I'm a martyr, you know, choo choo train, all f**king steam ahead, full steam ahead. And she basically, she's just I don't wanna go I don't wanna go that hard on her, Taylor. I don't normally don't even talk about this s**t on my podcast, but it's out there, and so it would be weird if I if I denied it. Like, I can't deny it, but she's just on a mission to make herself look good. Okay? Which is that. Which is fine. Everyone wants to look good. No one's like, I wanna look bad. Do you know what I mean? Like, like, when you look bad, there's something really powerful in saying, you know what? I look bad. And I'm a person, and I'm flawed, and I'm self aware enough to say that was not a cute look for me. Those are my favorite kind of people or people who that can do that. And, honestly, having known Kristen for as long as I have through you, she really is kinda she has been in the past that kind of person. She is that type I would say she is that type of person. Person. I I feel like she's not right now. She had I think she probably had good intentions putting those tweets out there, but then just, like, really, like, just f**ked it up a little. And it just Just f**ked it up. Hearing me just, like, hearing excuses as to why she was triggered and probably upset about something. Like, but I've been triggered and upset about things, and I still don't go there. So, like, don't expect a wedding invitation and wonder why we're not friends when you're sitting there on an after show talking about me that way, talking about how my I'm gonna come crashing down. Where the f**k am I gonna be at 40? That When you're 40, it was that. Very triggering to me. Why went up to 40? And also, Kristen is the closest to 40. Yes. But, like I'm just saying. I'm just saying why like, she can't expect like, people can't expect to be like, why aren't we friends when then I see stuff like that? That doesn't make me wanna reach out and be like, hey. Let's, you know, let's talk about this, and and let's get back to where we were. That's no. Like, that's this is why, like I have to take a step back. I don't Nothing makes me crazier than people lacking self awareness. It's like, it's logical. 2 +2 is 4. You talk s**t about me. And when we're not doing great, yeah, you're not gonna get invited to the wedding. And don't be surprised. It's like, how can you not understand why? When people are illogical, it makes me so crazy. Yeah. I don't want anyone at my wedding who's like, her career is gonna come crashing down and no one's gonna listen to our podcast at 4. And I like, why would I what? Like, that please listen when I'm 40. What do we stand? Please still be listening. Yeah. Alright. And so with that, I'm gonna wrap this up, and we are gonna do Taylor's podcast, which will come out next week. So if you feel like listening to me b***h and moan and complain about life still next week, go listen to hers for part 2. Oh, well well, guess what? We're gonna talk about some other people's feuds. We're gonna talk about Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift. Right. Because I don't wanna talk about my own feud ever again. Don't worry. I'm embarrassed for myself. Kristen, I always will love her, and I probably had good intentions, and so, like, f**k, this was I shouldn't have engaged in Twitter, and I'm embarrassed. So there's that. Okay. Let's just do that's the kind of self awareness that I love about you. All right. Let's do your podcast. So do I stop this thing? Yeah. Okay, so stop this thing and then we'll restart. Okay. Okay? Bye, z's. Wait, wait, wait, wait. What? Oh, did you stop it? No. Let me, let me promote, b***h. Oh yeah, sorry, sorry, sorry. Some of us don't have 2,000,000 Instagram followers and need more. I'm sorry. I forgot. I'm sorry. My brain is a quarantine brain. You guys, please follow me at Taylor Strecker on Instagram. I'm not the best, but I'm doing better.
