Okay. Hey. What's up? Hey. I'm with Lo French, c o Lo. We're we're just gonna chat. I'm, like, in a bad mood today. You know? I'm in a bad mood. I had I had a good weekend because my my dad came in town, so we, like, got it was, socially, it was fun because I got to spend time with family and all that stuff, but there's just been so many health things going on with family members and with 1 with my dog refund. And so, like, that's, like, put me in a just, like, now that it's Monday, it's like a mood, and the sun hasn't come out. It's, like, one of those days that's just, like, once you like, the day is wanting you to be depressed. It's like that type of weather. Like, it's it's testing you. My my strength is being tested. Yeah. I'm not depressed, but I'm, like, definitely in a weird funk. It feels weird. Yeah. Okay. So, like, we'll be in a weird funk together. I'll be a little more, Debbie Downer than you, I guess. Okay. But I just figured, like, might as well lean into the energy instead of trying to change myself. Mhmm. You know, instead of trying to be better for everyone right now on this podcast episode, I'm I think I'm just gonna I'm gonna lean into I'm gonna be my authentic self. Alright. And I'm gonna lean into the fact that I'm just I'm not in the best mood. So I figured, let's just, like, talk about right now things that I don't like or or things that bother me. Okay. It's one of those days. Mhmm. You know, we're just like, I wanna talk about the things that f**king annoy me. Watch me all. Your mood is gonna turn around by Wednesday when this comes out, and then everyone else is gonna be done. And then I'm gonna bring everyone down. I I you know, I'm I need a my I'm a misery loves company person today. Mhmm. I need everyone to get down here with me. Do you but, however, something to look forward to at towards the end of the podcast Yeah. Episode. I finally made my period piece TV show list TV show. I didn't go to I didn't do movies. Okay. That's That's a whole other That's fine. It's good to keep them separate. Yes. Oh, that's a whole other thing. My official list of every single one I have watched, and then there's, like, 5 that I plan on watching. Mhmm. And we're gonna talk about my favorites. Okay. Break them down. We will post them on my website so that we can make a, I don't know, like, a a highlight on my Instagram because people ask me all the time for my historical fiction TV show recommendation Yeah. List. You're like the TV guide for period pieces. People need to know. I truly am. Like, that is my that's my Roman Empire. That's my passion project, period piece shows, historical dramas. And the way that, like, people will message me and be like, oh, like, have you seen Sanditon? Yes. Like, when people try and tell me, like, you should totally watch The Tudors. Betcha, I've been there. What? I've watched that 4 times over. Like, oh, I you would love Versailles. I know. There needs to be, like, a Disney adult term for period peace watchers. Agreed. Because you're, like, so in deep. I get so offended when people give me recommendations. Yeah. That's like somebody being, like, oh, have you been to Walt Disney World in Florida? Yes. To a Disney adult. Yeah. Although, however, I will say someone posted a list in the Stasi pot Facebook group Uh-huh. The podcast Facebook group, and I screenshot it. And there were some that I hadn't seen on that. So Okay. That one was very helpful. That that one was helpful. But when someone messages me and they're just like Have you seen Don't Know About Me? Like, by the way Click unfollow me. My mom sent me a TikTok this morning that they are in production for the 3rd movie. Don't you think I saved that video? You saved it? Yeah. Michelle Dockery. What are you gonna do with it? I was I don't know. That's cute. Sometimes I just, like, save things in case, like, I need it again. Okay. But I just thought it was it was just exciting to see them all It is it is exciting. I'm super excited. The gang back together. Yeah. Anyway, back to things I don't like Yeah. Sorry. That was too uplifting. Or things or things that just, like, make me uncomfortable. Okay? I'm gonna start which one do I go first? Which one do I go first? The classic. The classic inspired the whole list. Okay. When you're at a party or your friend your friend's having a a group of people over, You know? Doesn't have to be a big rager. Just a a significant amount of people at a place, and someone pulls out the guitar. Yep. It's even worse when it's a smaller party, honestly. Agreed. The way my blood runs cold. The way my blood runs cold because I'm just like, no. Oh, no. We're all gonna I thought I'd Few. Oh, god. Oh, another thing that pisses me off, the new phone Yeah. The way that you put it on silent isn't just like a click. You have to, like, hold it down, and it's so much more difficult to do. Why don't you just do the little swipe on the screen for do not disturb? I guess I should do that. Yeah. Whatever. No. But the way that I'm like, okay. So we're gonna sit around in a circle and sing together, or we could just gonna listen to you? Let's go listen. And do we watch you? Because And do we kinda dance? And do we do we sway? Sway like rock? Like Like, what do we do? I bolt. I don't stay. I know you do. I don't stay for for that. I've realized, like, as I was making my list that a lot of it is music related. Mhmm. And I and I wonder why. Okay. Because, like, the next one, when someone plays a song for me and they and we have to, like, sit and, like, listen to it together. Yeah. Like, what? I've done that to you. I know. Like, last whole time, I f**king hate it. Showed you, like, music videos on YouTube. I can handle that more, actually. The music videos, I'm fine with this because it's there's a visual. This is my issue. With songs, there's no visual, so where do you look? Right. So then I feel uncomfortable because I don't know where to look. And I I I don't I don't need someone watching me see have a reaction. And, also, music is just so deeply personal that I need to sit with it by myself Right. First before I listen to music around anyone else. Mhmm. Like, it's because you gotta put yourself in that in that emotional space. Right. You know? So, like, you saying, like, I want you to listen to this song. I wanna see if you like it. Shoot me. You know? Definitely done it. Don't regret it. Love the songs. Think you would still love them. Don't even remember what they were. Yeah. Seriously, me neither. Another one that has to do with music. Okay? Okay. When you're in the car with all your friends Mhmm. And everyone's singing at the same time. Like, everyone's singing along to a song. I have a caveat. Okay. Celine Dion. If I am? Which song? It's all coming back to me now, obviously. Okay. I gotta be s**t faced. Let's be real. I have to be s**t faced. It has to be at the end of the f**king night. Which is the best time, honestly. I have to be doing my full blown Celine Dion impression Yeah. Which I am great at. Great at. Not sober. So, like, sorry, folks. I know. I wish people could could see. I am so good at it. I will find some video of because there's someone has to have footage of me doing it. I feel like I did that a lot during COVID. Like, FaceTimed people and just, like, got we, like, got drunk and sang Sling dot. So, like, I get it. I get what you're talking about, but no. Like, when we're all in the car and, like, everyone's just, like, singing, it makes me feel it's like how the part that I don't like about mass and church when, like, everyone's singing together. Okay. I feel uncomfy. Like, I sometimes, I'm like, what's wrong with me? Like, when Bo wants me to go to church, and I've gone with him a few times. Yeah. And I'm like, why does my blood run cold when everyone's singing? Like, do I have Satan inside me? No. No. Well, you were raised Catholic. I know. So it's not like you're not used to that. No. And I but I I really hated all that part of ma*s. It's like all of us singing together. It makes me feel uncomfortable. Like, the way that, you know, vampires can't be in the sun, like, if the sun touches them, they'll they'll burn. That's the example you wanna go with. Yeah. No. Do hear me out. That's how my soul feels in church when everyone starts singing. It feels like it's I I feel it it burning. Okay. How did you feel at Taylor Swift at the Eris tour? Oh, that's another thing. I was on my list, but I'm gonna say this. This is what really annoys me, another thing that pisses me off. When your significant other or whoever you are with at a concert is, like, come on. Why aren't you having more fun? Or, like, stand up and dance or stand up and sing. I experience concerts differently. I I act I we all don't do the same thing. Like Right. I like to just sit and, like, really be dialed in. Like, I I'm not smiling. I'm not singing along. Really, I'm I'm not dancing. Stone faced at the air store. I'm just in awe, and I'm watching. And, like, that's that's how I am at a concert. And the way first of all, also I was 9 months pregnant. So That's true. I was sitting, and Beau was, like, having the f**king time of his life drunk, dancing, singing, and he was just like, come on. You it's you and I. We're finally together right now. We're at Taylor Swift. Like, dance with me. And I'm like, no. Stop it. Stop making me act at the concert the way that you act at a concert. Right. But did it make you uncomfortable when everyone was singing? No. There's too many people. There were so many that it was okay. Okay. So there's a limit. There's, like, a minimum maximum. Yeah. At a concert Mhmm. That's a little different because It's different than church. It's different than the car. And and in the car. Because it's like there's so many people at a concert, and, like, that's kind of just, like, the reason you're there, music. Okay. That's true. So it's like, oh, okay. Yeah. Of course, everyone's singing. Yeah. You know? But, like, church, it's not dark. It's bright. Uh-huh. You can see everyone. We're all supposed to be feeling it. It's the pressure. That's the thing. It's like the pressure that to be like I'm like, no. And in the car, I just, like, feel kind of uncomfortable when everyone takes, like, singing along to music so seriously. I love it personally. And, like, how much does that suck when you're the person that doesn't know the lyrics? Well, that does suck. Then you feel left out, and then I get irrationally angry. Okay. Well, that does suck. I agree with that. That's why you have to stick to, like, solid 2 thousands pop, like Britney Spears, you know, like, all the all the hits, NSYNC, Backstreet I hear you. You know, back in the day when I was filming Vanderpump Rules and we used to, like you know, after the cameras went down, we'd all still stay at, like, someone's house or or apartment during that time Uh-huh. And just, like, keep drinking and, like, everyone would wanna karaoke. And then so many of them would put on, like, country music, and I'm like, I don't know the words. Oh. I'm gonna excuse myself. You're killing my vibe. Yeah. Like, you're killing my vibe because You gotta go with classics. Things that people know and people like to dance to. Yeah. I agree. I agree with that. Although, I love country music too, so I would have had fun. Sorry. Country music. It's so weird how so many people love it, but, like, I don't. Have you ever given it a chance? Yeah. Because Beau listens to it in the car, and I and I let him. Like and there are some songs I do like, of course. I don't, like, dislike country music. I'm just not a fan of country music, if that makes sense. I didn't become a fan of, like, country country music until I was in college, and my roommate loved it because I never listened to it growing up. So who was your first country artist to listen? Who was the person that got you to like country? Probably, like, Miranda Lambert. Okay. I don't really know any of her songs. I know she is. Yeah. Like, I liked a lot of her songs at the time, Little Big Town. Don't know what you're talking about. Lady Annabella, Lady a, another Lady a. Lady a. I I know. Taylor Swift was obviously up and coming at that time. Yep. Oh, yeah. Exactly. I like that song. Was she like a one hit wonder? Because they It's actually there's 3 of them. There's 2 guys and a girl. Oh. Definitely not a one hit wonder. So they're still making muse? Still making muse. Okay. How come I don't hear about Lady A anymore? Because you don't like country music. But it still feels like I I hear about things. They don't have a lot of, like, headlines. Mhmm. But I could play you some songs. No. Thank you. No. Thank you. Moving away from music, when so full circle. Yeah. When people give me a gift and they wanna watch me open it in front of them, I I understand because there have been gifts that I've given where I'm so excited to give it because I know the person's gonna be really excited and or really love it. But I think I'm a difficult person to buy for. Yes. I'm not even a gift person. Okay? It's like, that's not my love language at all. I, like, kind of don't like gifts. Like, I don't because the pressure to like it is on. Mhmm. And I probably won't like it. You know what I mean? Like, just, like, let me pick out my own things. That's what Bo and I do know. I'm like, Bo, don't get me a present unless I tell you I want something specific. Just don't buy me presents because I don't want you to, like, waste your time, waste your money, like, get excited, and then I, like it's a letdown. Like, when growing up, like, my parents would tell you this, my siblings would tell you this. Like, I would cry every Christmas because I felt so guilty that I didn't like my gifts and that my parents were so excited to, like they thought they were doing something. You know? Like, my mom, like you know, I remember 1 year, she, like, found this, like, fake Christian Dior bag on eBay, which may maybe it wasn't fake. Why would she it'd be on eBay then? Yeah. That's true. It's probably real. So probably a real one, but she found it on eBay. So, like, she splurged whoever, and I hated the style of it. Oh, no. And I just sobbed because I was like, I I know that she was sitting there searching for something she thought I was gonna love, and it makes me feel horrible. So, like, presents are just not my it's it's not my thing. What would you do if Hartford did that? If Hartford cried? Yeah. What what if you got her something that you were like, oh, she's really gonna love this, and then she didn't like it? Sometimes that happens. Like, I'll when I buy her, like, dresses, I'm like I'm buying these bright dresses specifically because I think she'll like them. Uh-huh. Like, not I don't like them. Right. I got this. I wanted to dress her, like, chic and all beige. Right. You know, monochromatic Mhmm. Looks. That's not happening. You know? No. So, like, sometimes I think I'm I'm actually doing something and getting her dresses that she'll, like, really love. And she's, like, no. Once it but it doesn't hurt my feelings. You don't get disappointed? Okay. Well, that's good. No. I don't care. I also just learned, like, you can't, how do I word this? This is, like, about kids. Like You can't get your feelings hurt when they're mean to you? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Like, you have you have to be the bigger person. Yeah. You have to you have to, like, monitor and be in control of your own emotions Mhmm. Yourself outside of your kid. Like, that's on me. That's on me to, like, regulate my feelings. Okay. You know? Yeah. So if Harper doesn't like something, she she tries to hurt my feelings all the time. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like, I was just curious I was just curious if the gift thing, like, went both ways. No. No. But to have somebody watch you, do you like opening gifts in front of I mean, it I don't really care either way. Like, I don't have a strong reaction to it. But also, like, it feels like time lasts so we're we're in slow motion. Oh, yeah. Totally. It does. When you're opening presents and someone's watching it. Well, the best time to open a present that someone gives you is when they have a child. Like, say you gave me a gift and I'm here and Hartford's here, I'm gonna be like, can you help me open it? Yeah. And, like, you make it about something else For sure. Instead of like, oh, wow. This is so great. Thank you so much. For sure. Yeah. You know? It's almost funny when I do my ads for Liquid IV. I love it so much. I there's not a day that goes by that I don't drink Liquid IV pretty much all day long. If you've never heard of Liquid IV, you guys, Liquid IV is a hydration multiplier. Okay?

And then when I was pregnant, they came out with the sugar free liquid IV. And so now I rotate the peach because that's my other favorite. So I will literally like, I'm not joking when I say I don't even drink regular water anymore. I have my giant simple modern cup, and I have I pour little bits of liquid IV in it all day long. Like, I truly can't live without it. When I go on trips, like, I have to, like, in bulk, put, like, bags of it in my suitcase, or else I fully panic. Like, that's how much I rely on Liquid IV.

At showers, whether it's like a wedding a bridal shower or a baby shower or, like, your bat like, you know, what's that called? Bridal shower? Did I already say that? Yeah. Yeah. When they sit in open presence and we all have to watch We all watch. Like we give a f**k. I know. No one cares what you're being given. I think for the baby shower, it makes sense. No. It doesn't. Because people wanna see, like, oh, it's a cute outfit. No part of me wants to watch anyone. I dip out at baby showers once it gets to that point. I make it an excuse of, like, oh, I gotta go. Like, I'm not sitting here watching people opening presents. That's so bor bor. Don't you think though that there's an argument that that it, like, shows gratitude to the people who are who came and brought you a gift? Thank you notes. Okay. Don't torture me. That's not showing gratitude. Right. That that's doing the opposite. That's saying buy me a gift and then sit here and watch me open up a million of them and be bored. Yeah. When there is when there's a lot, it's too much when it goes on for so long. Yeah. That's why I actually always like to be the person who's recording, like, who gave what because then I have a job. That's genius. I have a reason. You know what that's giving? What? It's giving when Alex was on the podcast, and she was we were both talking about how we hate pool parties. And she's like, that's why I'm always the one getting everyone drinks. Yeah. Do you need a refill? Do you need a refill? Are you hungry? Do you wanna make me a sandwich? She's like, so it's like something for me to do that's not just, like, be hot Yeah. Outside and sweat or, like, be in the pool. You know? Like, it's that's for the other people who don't like if you don't like the gift opening portion of a party, be the one that writes down all the things. Mhmm. Okay. I'm glad glad we solved that. Glad we're we're helping people. Other things that annoy me. When I go to the park with Hartford and and Messer and I see, like, other moms there and they're trying to talk to me, Like, how? How do how do moms have conversations? Hartford won't let me. Right. She's like, mommy, watch me. Mommy, watch me. Watch me do this. Watch me do that. And then I feel like a b***h because I can't fully focus with this other mom that I'm supposed to be talking to. Mhmm. And I just, like, look at her. Like, do you not see that, like, my my kid's not letting me do this? So, like, why? Like, why? You know? Right. It it stresses me out so much. It is funny. Do you think the other moms are, like, just ignoring their kid? No. No. Maybe their kid just doesn't demand that Oh, okay. That they watch. Okay. So that's a very specific one. I think that's specific to me. Also, specific to having multiple kids. Right. Because, like, if you have one kid who's just like, yeah. Yeah. There are times when Hartford goes off and does her own thing. But, like, I always have to have one eye on her. Yeah. Of course. Like, I'm always and I, like, can't do 2 things at once. I can't be fully dialed in in a conversation and and give someone my attention while also making sure she doesn't die, you know? Do you think that other moms get offended if you're, like, half paying attention, or do you think they're all doing the same thing so it's just, like, part of being at the park? I don't know. But the amount of moms I've texted afterwards Apologizing? Apologizing. Oh, wow. A lot. Quite a few where I'm just like, I'm so sorry. Like, I I it's not that I was ignoring you or whatever. It's like it's it's just impossible for me to have an adult adult conversation Yeah. When my kids are around. Like I'm sure they were understanding. Yeah. Everyone's always been understanding. That's so nice that you text them. That is actually so nice of me. I actually can't believe I do that. I can't either. Because I just don't text people in general. I know. That's, like, really kind. You were thinking of how they were feeling. Well, I don't want them to think that I don't like them. Of course. You know, I I I can't have them walking away from the situation being like, oh, Stassi's a b***h or Stassi doesn't like me, then having them wonder, like, what did I do wrong? So, like, no. It's not you. It's me. Yeah. It's my child. I think that you handled that situation great. Even though it's annoying and you hate it, I feel like you you do a good job on that. Okay. Thanks. Appreciate you. Yeah. Another thing that really annoys me. K. You guys, I don't know if I've said this on the podcast before. My least favorite part of parenting, okay, is feeding my kids. I know you've said it on The Good, The Bad, The Baby. Okay. Like, to me like, yeah. Like, I can the the lack of sleep that you have, the, like, fact that you can never sit down, that, like, you don't really have a moment to yourself, I can handle. Mhmm. But the mess that is feeding a child 3 times a day. I'm not talking about the bottles. I'm not talking about babies where, like, you know, just with the bottle. I'm talking about when you start doing the food. The and this is layered because part of the reason is is the mess part. Because I literally wipe as I go. I'm like, if if Messer's food gets, like, on my my hand or whatever or, like, on anything, I'm wiping his tray as he goes. I'm wiping his face as he goes. Like, I can't I'm never gonna be the parent that allows him to just go in, eat his food, make the mess, clean up after. Like, that's what Beau does. Right. And that actually makes more sense. Right. Like, I I and that's how, you know, babies learn autonomy and how to do things with, you know, their like, don't help them out too much. Mhmm. I can't do that. Like, the mess really kills me. Okay? Okay. So, like, the OCD in me has to just clean as I go or be like, I'm I'm just gonna feed you. I'm sorry. You're not I'm I'm gonna feed you. Like, I'm not letting you do this on on your own because of the mess. But then the other part of that is the, like, having to, like, provide a balanced meal 3 times a day. And most of the time, toddler or like Hartford's like, I didn't want that. Right. You know? Like, that's so annoying Uh-huh. That, like, they have to have balanced meals Yeah. It is. All day. Like and then that's not how I, like, that's not how I operate or I eat. Like, I don't like breakfast, really. You know, Beau's the cook in the house, so, like, Beau provides me with nourishment. I postmates a lot. I, you know, I love dinner. I like, like, one big meal, you know Right. At night. Like, that's, like, my vibe. And the fact that, like, I can't just the kids won't just do that too. Mhmm. Like, why can't the kids just also skip breakfast and we all just, like, eat the the same way? I mean, they have to go to school. She has to go to school. And from everything we were told growing up, you need breakfast so your brain turns on. I know. It's just it's healthy to have many small meals a day. It's just so time consuming to feed children. I mean, I get it. I know it's time consuming. The mess thing is funny to me. That's definitely like an OCD cleanliness. I wonder if you, like, gave yourself, like, a timer. You were like, I can't wipe him down for, like, 10 minutes. I enjoy the experience more while I'm if I'm wiping as I go. Right. But I but it's it's good for him to get messy. Like, when you cook Uh-huh. In your apartment Yeah. Okay, do you clean as you go? I cook the meal. I put everything in the sink. I eat the meal, and then I clean afterwards. Okay. Because I want the meal to be hot and, like, fresh. Okay. Okay. So So, no, I don't clean as I go, except actually when I'm baking, I clean as I go. I think your way is a very normal way. Yeah. And I understand, like, not wanting a mess totally, but I think, like, when you have kids, that's, like, part of it. Okay. So they they get messy. No. Let's take the kids out of it. Okay. Now I'm just going on on cooking as and and how people cook. Oh, okay. Because okay. I know I say I don't cook, which I don't, but I have cooked things before. Right. Okay? And I've baked things before. Like, I've made things in the kitchen before, and I have to clean as I go. Like, it has to look spotless the whole entire time. Like, I have to. You're somewhere in the middle. Beau? I'm so sorry. Yeah. Oh my god. He's a creative. He's an artist. He's an artist. Bo gets in. Painter. He's a cook. He is a he likes to create art. He gets in the kitchen, and he just it's like he likes the mess. And he just wherever the things fall, it's wherever they fall. And, like, if if this container's still out, if there's flour all over the place, like, it's part of the process. Mhmm. And he can eat his meal with the kitchen still looking like that. Like, he can then take the plates out, put it in the you know, we'll sit at the dining table, but I'll I know Right. What the kitchen looks like. Even though we're not eating in the kitchen, I know what it looks like, so I can't properly enjoy eating Mhmm. Because I'm so stressed about how messy the kitchen is. But you know in 20 minutes, it'll be clean again once after the meal, once you clean it. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Like, even when the house is, like, really messy, like, I feel I start getting really anxious. You really do. Your whole mood changes when it's messy in here. And I just need at least one room to look fine. Right. One room upstairs. One room upstairs. Yeah. Because my bedroom is always spotless. But, like, one room upstairs to be okay, because if I don't have one place to go on on that floor that isn't messy, I I just, like, I panic. Right. So it's like when the whole top floor, the kitchen, dining room, living room, little sunroom area, when all of it is messy, I'm a I it's like a older version of the dark passenger. Oh. You know what I mean? Except it's not like a drunken yelling screaming rage. Right. It's just It's like a mad woman. I just feel it in me. I I and I'm just like, I can't I can't I can't function. And I'll tell Beau, like, about this, like, this mess. And he's like, Sassy, you know, like, I'll be able to literally clean it in 20 minutes. I'm like, I know I'm telling myself that in my head, but it's not changing the way that I feel inside. Yeah. That is actually a proven thing that when your space isn't clean and, like, organized that your your mentality, like, matches that. It's science. It's science. It's science. For real. But I do think you're on, like, the extreme end of the cleanliness spectrum. Yeah. It's more, like, organized. Yeah. Like, tidy. Tidy. Yeah. Tidy. That's, like, what I that's what I need. This one, I feel kind of guilty about. Okay. This next one. So, like, I get irrationally angry when Beau goes down to the bed to go to sleep first. Oh, I don't know what I thought you were gonna say. Like, I caught myself the other day. Like, I yelled at him, and I felt so bad. Like, I was watching, like, one of my shows in the living room. Mhmm. And he's like, I'm really tired. I'm just, like, gonna go to bed now. And I, like, I, like, snap not, like, yell, but, like, I snapped at him, and I was like, what? No. And he's like, what do you mean? And I'm just like, no. That like, it, like, really, really bothers me when you do that. And he's like, I'm Oh my gosh. He's like, I rarely ever do that. And what do you mean? I'm Yeah. Exhausted. And I'm like, it's just like, I need that I need that alone time for at least, like, 10 minutes first before you come But you're getting alone time watching the TV show. It's different. It's like, I I don't know how to explain it. First of all, I feel guilty about this. Like, I realized, like, how much of an a*****e, like, I like and he even offered. He's like, fine. You want me to just, like, go, like, lay down in the gentleman's library? He's like, I might fall asleep there. And I was like, okay. No. Like, obviously, not that. Like, I don't want I was such a brat. Like, I I was so it's just interesting. I, like, wanna dissect it. I wanna pick it apart. So this is what I because he's just going to sleep. If he goes downstairs and goes to sleep Uh-huh. That means I can't turn a light on. You know, I have to, like, tiptoe to be really quiet. The bathroom light on. But it's just like I'm I don't wanna wake him you know? Whereas, like, I need to be able to go downstairs, brush my teeth, do the normally, my skin care routine, I I do that, like, after I put Messer down. So that's already done. But, like, brush my teeth, take out my contacts, and, like, turn on, like, my sidelight, like, get all situated in my bed, watch a few TikToks, you know, and then he comes down. So, like, when I can't do that, that little, like, routine Uh-huh. It just makes me sad. What if you created a second routine for the for the times that he wants to be in bed? I know. And, like, maybe just put your headphones next to your bed so you can, like, put your your headphones in if you wanna watch some TikToks. He wouldn't care about the light. I should do headphones. You know what I mean? I should do my pot. Still find a way. I know. I just want him to know I'm sorry. You're gonna tell him to listen to this podcast, or you're just gonna tell him sorry? I mean, I told him sorry in the moment because I was like, god, I recognize that I'm being such a brat. Like, I'm bullying you. That is really funny. Like but I just I like to have my nights like that. Right. It's reminding me of when you guys were talking about staying in a hotel and having Hartford be in your room. Mhmm. And so, like, when he goes to bed, you have to turn all the lights off and you have to be quiet. That's And what are you supposed to do? That's what I mean. So when we go on vacation, I have to have a separate room for her. Yeah. And now? No. You could put them in the same room. You think? Yeah. I don't think I trust Hartford not to wake mess her up. No. I don't I don't know. Oh, my gosh. What are we gonna do when we start traveling? I don't know. That's scary. Maybe your listeners with 2 kids or more can tell you. I wanna know. Although, they probably say put them in the same room. For sure. But, like, when one of them is a baby and the other one's just like a loud toddler Mhmm. How does that work? I don't know. You know what we would probably do? The extra room is for Messer and then just let Hartford sleep with us. Or, like, we'll put her a little bed. Yeah. I don't know. Bed. Yeah. Oh my gosh. I don't know. Yeah. But, yeah, when we used to go on vacation, if we didn't have, like, a a separate room or if, like, the crib didn't fit in the bathroom, like, the Pack and Play Mhmm. Like, we'd have to, like, just be quiet and, like, go, like, hide under our covers. That's actually too, a new Airbnb commercial that I saw. Really? Yeah. That was, like, traveling with your kids, their bedtime is your bedtime unless you get an Airbnb, and it shows, like, one room turning into, like, a house. That's And it's like, this is why you should get an Airbnb. Maybe the best idea for a commercial I've ever heard of. Yeah. Because that is why you should get Airbnb. Like This is not sponsored. No. It's not. You could say it's also what? Vibersco? Vibo v b v b e s co? Wow. V r b o? Oh, v r b o. Whatever. Just renting a a home. Yeah. Yeah. Because when you have kids, you you want them to have an extra room, and Yeah. Hotel rooms are so effing expensive. So So sometimes Airbnb is the way to go. Yep. But, yeah, that made me feel that may that makes me feel bad for Beau. But, you know, I'll I'll be better. Yeah. I'm learning. Okay. At least you recognize it. Recognizing. Yeah. Wait. I have a question on one. What about clapping? Like, do you care when people clap at the end of a movie or, when the plane lands? Oh, I love it. You love it? I like that. Really? Yeah. I like that, like, we're all, like, a part of something. Like, we're all, like first of all, it's like a celeb it's celebratory. It's fun. The energy is uplifting when people clap. Okay. You know? Interesting. So, like, when they land a plane, I'm like, cool. We all do it together. I mean, I don't clap with them, but, like I like it. Appreciate the clap. Yeah. And, like, in movie at the end of movies, granted, I haven't been to a movie theater I know. I haven't either. Could not tell you. In a long time. But I like it. Jumping down to period pieces, I found out this weekend that that, John John du Barry movie that we wanted to see with Johnny Depp Mhmm. Is out of theaters already. Why? Because nobody went to go see it. Well, I could have told you that. But it only came out, like, less than a week ago. I could've told you that no one's gonna go see that movie. Wanted to go see it. I just forgot. Not only do people just, like, not go out to see movies that much anymore Yeah. But they definitely don't go out to see French subtitled movies. It's just gonna be so good. Right. Watch it at home. It's gonna be on streaming soon. It's a 100% a streamer movie. I just thought I would have the opportunity. In case you guys don't know what we're talking about, Johnny Depp filmed a movie about Louis the, I think, 15th at Versailles. I'm we've been so excited about it. For, like, over a it came out in Europe a year ago. Well, I remember when he, like, started filming it. It was, like, right after the Amber Heard trial. And I was like, good for him that he's, like, got to book something. Yeah. And, it's in French. So he did it all in French, and Lowe was like, it's coming out in movie theaters. And apparently, it's already out Yeah. Of the movie theaters, but I could have told you that. Like, I can't believe that you thought anyone would actually even I thought it was gonna be in the movie theater long enough that I could decide to go. I didn't think I was gonna have to, like, go on opening day or else it's gone. Yeah. But I guess I just didn't really think about it because none of us go to the movies anymore. You know what that feels like? It feels like a good plane movie. Probably. Because when you're on a plane, you have your headphones in, so you are dialed the f**k in. You cannot look at your screen. Yeah. So, like, and just, like, I don't know why, but, like, do you ever feel like you get more emotional on planes? I feel like we've talked about this. Have we? Yeah. I because I get more emotional on planes. Yeah. I definitely get emotional on planes. Is it the fact is it, like, the air pressure? Is it that we're the the the altitude? Or is it the fact that we have headphones on and we're dialed into whatever it is we're watching? Probably all of it. And the glass of wine. And the wine take off? Yeah. 100%. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's all of it. But I also we've I know we've talked about this. I feel self conscious because, like, there are other people right next to you and in front of you and behind you. For sure. And, like, you're crying and, like, god what if you, like, sniffle or, like, need to wipe your nose or a tear falls and you have to, like, quietly wipe it away? I'm always like people know. And then they know what I'm watching, and then they judge me because they're like, she's crying at this. Okay. So I have surprisingly never gotten self conscious about being emotional on a plane. Okay. I'm I'm wondering why. Like, why did don't I have any recollection of feeling like that? I don't know. I don't. However Maybe you're a good hidden crier, like peep like a quiet one. So you're like, oh, nobody knows. The tears can just well, 100%. I am I can be a very quiet crier. Okay. Like, full blown water running down my face, but, like, you won't hear a peep. Right. You know? There's talent right there. Not even like a like a breath. No. Yeah. I can 100% do it silent. Wow. You don't know how to cry silently? I don't know. I don't think so. Not when it's a true cry. I don't know. I can fully cry silent. Sniffle. I do, however, get insecure about watching something and having everyone watch Oh, yeah. See what I'm watching. What's the most embarrassing thing you've watched on a plane? I don't really feel like I probably when I I don't first of all, I don't think I make embarrassing choices because I'm worried about it. What would you wanna watch on a plane if nobody would judge you? Well, I don't watch embarrassing shows anymore, really. So, like, there really isn't it's more like when, like, there's, like, sex scenes. Yeah. And then, like so, like, I just, like, have naked people on my screen, and then, like, the people are probably, like, what the f**k is she watching? Like, that, like, makes me feel uncomfortable. Mhmm. But I think the most embarrassing thing, it would have to be Vanderpump Rules Oh, watching this stuff on TV? But, like, when we would have to, like, before That's funny. Before we would film the reunion, you have to have seen every episode. So they would send us them all, and a lot of the time, it would be, like, when I was going back and forth between New York, like, just to do, like, watch Robin's live or something. And I would spend, like, those 6 hours just, like, watching the episodes. And I'm like, this is this is kind of embarrassing. So people think you're just watching yourself? Myself, just casually just watching myself. Like, that's That is funny. Yeah. That's not Mhmm. That's not a vibe. Yeah.

Growing up in New Orleans, whenever there was, like, a special occasion, like Christmas or my birthday or, like, I needed to, you know, I got to, like, buy something that was really nice, my parents would take me to the Saks that's downtown in downtown New Orleans. Like, that's what that I grew up with Saks being, like, the holiest place ever in terms of of clothes. Like, you go into Saks and you know that, like, okay. These are this is cool stuff. This is what nice clothes are. This is what quality clothes are. These are the new designers. This is what I should be paying attention to. So the fact that, they're a sponsor today is very exciting for me. And because I grew up like that, because Saks was just like a huge thing in New Orleans, Ever since then, I've always used their website as almost like a Pinterest, like where I go to get inspiration to, like, be like, okay. Like, what are the new brands that I should be paying attention to? Like, how are people putting things together? Because they have these curated shops on their website, and I just, like, find that really helpful. So it's basically, like, just getting inspiration. And let me tell you, after you've been pregnant and then postpartum me and you finally, like, start feeling like yourself again, the trends have changed. Everything's changed. So I have to go be like, okay. What what's cool? What are the girlies wearing now? And so I go to saxx.com, and I look at all everything. I'm like, okay. So this is what's cool.

What's the most embarrassing thing that you've ever watched? The the one that comes to mind is one time I was on a plane from Boston back to LA, and somehow I got on a documentary about 911. And I was just like, this is cryptic and weird, and I should probably turn it off. Oh, at first, I was like, that's not embarrassing. And then I'm like But then you catch yourself, and you're like, I'm on a plane Yeah. From kind of the point that, like, some of them were at. It's just it was just weird. I don't even know how it got there, but it's a core memory of mine being like, this is awkward, and I need to turn it off. Yeah. It's just, like, dark. Yeah. I just really like documentaries. Do you do you think someone around you viewed that as a sign and, like, panicked the whole time? You probably have traumatized someone who talks about this in with their therapist. I'm so sorry. I don't Do you ever feel like know what to say. You've do you ever think people talk about you to their therapist? 100%. Really? Oh, yeah. Why don't I feel like people talk about me to their therapist? People definitely talk about you to their therapist. You think? Mhmm. Like, who? Well, probably just the general public, you know, making comparisons and talking about you as a character on TV. That's number 1. You think people talk about TV with their therapist? Maybe. Maybe they say they have a dark passenger and they have to explain it. Okay. Or maybe they say, I wanna find my bow. And their therapist is like, what the f**k are you talking about? Oh, I guess I kind of I'm also wondering, like, have I traumatized someone? Have did I do something to someone that, like, I probably don't even realize I did? Because you know how people views kind of like how when I text the moms being like, I'm sorry. It's not you. It's me. Right. Like, what if I've done something to someone that, like, I don't even realize I did? I mean, I think we all have, honestly. It's kind of depressing. But don't you think? Yeah. I guess so. Like, just in our in our relationships and friendships, like, you always have actions that don't necessarily, like, land with others. And sometimes they don't even say anything, so you don't know. And then years later, you're not friends with them, but it sticks with them. Yeah. Like, I'm sure I've hurt people's feelings in a big way. Not meaning to, obviously. For sure. Well, I'm sorry if anyone listening is hurt by me or has to talk to their therapist about me. I'm sorry. I'm taking up that that space. I release you. Look how nice you are today. And For being in a bad mood, it's like Oh, okay. You know? Yeah. We're we're getting better. Yeah. You know, I did have a good day with Hartford on Friday. Okay. We had a a mother daughter day. Cute. What did you do? So she had a half day at school. Mhmm. So I picked her up at noon, and this was the first day that my dad got in town. So he was going to Universal Studios with, like, his crew, but he's like, we're gonna come back early. So if you wanna bring Hartford over to the house, she can go swimming. So I had to try and stay out in the West Hollywood area for a long time. Uh-huh. So I was kept coming up with things to do. We ended up just, like, going back home because I was like, I we've been out for, like, f**king 5 hours. Like, she hasn't had a net. Like Yeah. I I I can't stay out here any longer. Right. I took her to Kitson Kids k. On Robertson Mhmm. Because she's been talking about how she wants these sparkly Princess Aurora shoes. And I'm like, if there's a shot at having those anywhere, it's there. Yeah. So I took her there, and then she said, I have to go poo poo. So I was like, okay. Well, then we gotta go eat lunch then somewhere. Yeah. So, like, I I walked over to the Henry Mhmm. And we sat, and I had left all of her bag of toys in the car. So we made do with thank god they, like, printed out, like, things for her to color. And we sat there and ate. And, of course, she didn't have to go poo poo anymore, so that was all for nothing. It's like I wasn't even hungry at that time and neither was she. Okay. So we just, like, ordered this food that we didn't eat Right. All because she told me she had to go poo poo. Right. And I feel bad asking to use the bathroom when I'm not a paying customer. Like Okay. I should've just You should've just walked her in. I know. K? And then so after that, I was like, let's still let's do some things. So why don't we go to the mall? Let's go to the Beverly Center. No one was there. Wait. How do you do that when it's just the 2 of you? Do you, like, leave your table and bring your purse and take her to the bathroom and then come back to your table? I leave something normally. Okay. So that they don't think that I'm That you left. Yeah. Yeah. But, like, not necessarily my purse, not necessarily my phone, but some belongings. Like a sweater. Yeah. Something so that they know Okay. That or I'll put, like, the napkin over my glass or just whatever. Just Okay. Or I'll tell the server. Yeah. But yeah. That was a real question. Yeah. I mean No. Valid. Yeah. Valid. Then we went to the Beverly Center. No one was there. I'm pretty sure the Beverly Center is gonna close because no one's there. You went to the mall? I went to the f**king mall. Why did you go to the mall? Where else should I have gone? Like, where else where's there to go? The Grove? We go to The Grove all the time. Hollywood Park? We go to the parks all the time. I was like, what something different? Drive? That would have been fun. The Beverly Center? Like, the indoor Indoor mall. Mall. Yeah. Wow. No one's there. I know. No. It's like, how is this place staying open? There's no one there, and there's all these stores, but no one's shopping there. Like, it felt like I rented it out for me in Hartford. Wow. Did you buy anything? Not for myself. Hartford, we got her 2 pairs of sparkly shoes. Okay. We went to H and M so that she could pick out some dresses. She had fun. But That sounds like a great day. It it was a really great day. But, yeah, no one goes to malls anymore. Yeah. I'm kind of shocked. I can't tell you the last time I was I was at the Beverly Center. Yeah. And then we went back home because I was like, I can't keep staying out here in West Hollywood and running her around. Like and then I took her out to dinner with my family, and that's the first time she's ever gone to, like, a dinner. Did she do a good job? She did a great job. Like, I feel like people are gonna think I'm crazy. Probably gonna repeat this and talk about this on The Good, The Bad, The Baby, but, like, whatever. Yeah. But, like, we take our bedtimes and our routines are for our kids very seriously. Mhmm. In this house, I have an app that I, like, put everything in with Messer. Like, it's not when he poops, when he eats. I thought that I would be, like, a chill, cool, relaxed, easy, breezy mom. Like, no. Like, we are structured. And so Hartford you know, Messer goes down around 6:30, and, like, Hartford goes down normally around, like, 7:30, 8. She's been pushing it. So, like, I've been kind of, like, maybe she's not ready to, like, go to sleep early anymore. Maybe she's, like, getting older and, you know, it'll be, like, a 9 o'clock bedtime or something. Anyway, I that's why we don't take her out to dinner. Like, she has not we don't do that. Like, she goes to bed. Like, if we wanna go to dinner, then we have to have someone come watch our kids. Right. Like, that's how it is. So my dad was on the phone with my dad, and he's like, so is it just you guys? Are you all gonna come to dinner or whatever? I'm like, no. I think just me. Like, Beau can stay home and watch Messer and, like, I don't know. Like, Hartford, like, that would be, like, when she's going down to sleep. And he's like, what? He's like, you never had a bedtime? And I'm like, what do you mean? You didn't? And he's like, no. You just, like, went to sleep. I don't know. Like, whenever we did. And I'm like, when I was 3? And I'm like, I don't think you remember when I was 3. But now that I'm thinking about it, I have all of these memories and photos. My parents used to take me to dinner all the time. Really? Yes. And so I'm like, wow. I'm rigid. I need to loosen up. Right. And I need to just, like, trust that my kid can handle it, and she did. She had a really good time. Like, I brought her toys, so she had things to play with. She was, like, a little adult. And then at the end of the dinner, she told me she's like, I'm ready to go home. I'm ready to go home. And I was like, I'm sorry, guys. Like, we're gonna she's tired. Yeah. Like, she's recognizing, like, she did the damn thing. She's a big girl. She's just like you. Yeah. Anyway, that was random, me talking about that day. But I thought it was it was fun, and it was, like, yeah, special because it was, like, her first dinner. Yeah. So are you gonna try to do that maybe with her Yeah. More? I think so. That would be cute with, like, the 3 of you, like, you her and Beau. Yeah. Well, this is the thing. No. Because, like, if Sonia is gonna come and be with our our kids Then you're gonna leave both. Then I'm gonna leave both. Oh, so you're gonna take mess or 2? No. Oh. I I think that I I think that I could just take like, Beau can take Hartford to dinner sometimes. Oh, you just want one? Hartford to dinner sometimes. You know what I mean? Mhmm. Yeah. Anyway, so you guys, those were the things that I was just thinking about that annoy me. This is, like, this this podcast is wow. You know, people are driving in their car and half of them are, like, yes, And the other half are, like, nope. The thing is, though, I could make this list so much longer, and I could do 17 more episodes of this. If anyone else wants another things I don't like list you know who messaged me that? Colleen Hoover. I know. Yeah. She messaged me, and she saw that I did, like, things that I like list on the first Stassi episode. Mhmm. And she was like, you need to do a list of things that you hate. And her things that she put in that she hated were really good. Yeah. I need to, like, just, like, have her on the PodcastOne time when she's in town. Yeah. And just we can just talk about all the things that we don't like because she's really funny. She didn't like Dasani water. I love Dasani water. Yeah. That one stuck out to me because anytime we're at an airport, you get a Dasani water. The way that Dasani tastes fantastic, and I just, like, all of y'all are lying. Like, I feel like I'm in the Truman Show and all of y'all are lying. Do they put sugar in it or salt? It's like one little speck of salt. Okay. It's like one speck, guys. Okay? One little grain. Mhmm. Like, what do you that's not gonna hurt anyone. Okay. So what's the issue? We put salt all on our food. Like, what's the issue? And if there was a lot of salt, you'd taste it. Mhmm. You would taste the saltiness. It would taste like f**king tears. Okay? Team Dasani sponsor me. If you had every water lined up, like Fiji, smart water Fiji. Dasani, Evian, Arrowhead, like, all the things, you would reach for Dasani? No. No. I would reach for sparkling water. Oh, okay. No sparkling water though. Flat. No sparkling flat? Mhmm. Add is okay. I'd probably reach for a smart water. Okay. And then I would do Dasani. Okay. See? Yeah. Great. Love that. Box water? Ew. Ew. Like, why? I don't know. Like, why? You can taste the cardboard. Like, I just don't understand why people make, like, why people make certain decisions. Like, people in power positions I mean, well, it's to get rid of plastic. Like, that's why. It's the fight against plastics, which, by the way, we support with our water bottles. 100 percent scary. Yeah. But, like, the taste of gothic. Water is gross. No. I've realized switching gears kind of, it's just this inspired this thought. Okay. Over the last year or so, I've realized that everyone in life is faking it and that people in power positions Oh, yeah. Actually, they don't know any more than than me when I get, like I've I've met so many people in power positions. Mhmm. They have no f**king idea what they're doing. And then sometimes, they admit it. They admit it. Yeah. And I'm like, okay. Alright. So I think the moral of the story is, like, just because someone is in a position of power doesn't mean that they should be there and that they know more than you. And you should probably just, like, trust your instincts and your thoughts more than you typically would because Yeah. You can surprise yourself sometimes. Sometimes your inner wisdom is actually, like, the most powerful. I think that this applies too in a big way in, like, creative things. Maybe yeah. I mean, obviously, like, I'm not, like You know, like, well, I I just mean, like because I don't know. I feel like people Yes. I will say this only applies to creative Creative things. Situations. Some people have really great ideas and they get up to these high positions in corporations, and then they kind of get out of touch. And it's like, no. Ideas are are great. And, like, anybody can bring a good idea to the table. So just because you're in this high position doesn't mean that my idea isn't better than yours. Correct. Yeah. Like, I'm not over here saying that, like, doctors don't know s**t. No. No. No. That's I'm fully mean Creatively. Creatively. People in our position marketing, branding. Branding, all the things. Yeah. The the things that I do Dabble in. Dabble in. Okay? Like, that's what I've realized. Cool. But it's true though. I I feel that way. I think a lot of people feel that way. Just the older I get, the more I realize it. It's true. And that, like, you kinda That's why it's like no idea is a bad idea. Yeah. Beau loves to say that. Yeah. And no question is a stupid question. There are definitely stupid questions, and I'll tell you one. Mhmm. This one really f**king pisses me off. Okay. When I suggest a show or something to someone Yeah. And they write me, like, what network is on or what streamer or whatever, f**king Google it. Google. Yeah. The way that you just made my phone ding and, like, I walked away from doing something to pick up my phone, look at it, when you could have figured that out yourself. Mhmm. You know, dumb questions are the ones that you can you can look up on your phone, but instead decide to bother someone else with. Okay. I won't fight you on that. That's true. Yeah. That's true. It for it for sure is. I think I meant more of, like I don't know what I meant. Whatever. Like, why is the sky blue type of question? No. Like, how to do something or asking somebody for advice or you know what I mean? Yeah. The fact It's a little more thought provoking, not just the black and white, like, how do you what net know what network is Downton Abbey on. I'll tell you more stupid questions when it comes to advice. Uh-huh. And, no, technically, the question isn't dumb. But when I know you're not you're just gonna keep doing the same bad s**t over and over again, then you're asking dumb questions because you're not you never intended on taking my advice. Mhmm. Why do you think people ask those questions when they don't intend on taking your advice? Because they're a part of their soul wants to take my advice. Okay. But they're just too destructive. They can't they Or do they think that that's what people want them to do, so they do it? What? Ask advice? Mhmm. Yeah. I don't know. I think we have to, like, think it's like a case by case Right. Situation. And I just realized we're almost to an hour, and we haven't talked about any of the pieces yet. Oh, shoot. Let's go. What are we gonna do? Dive in. f**k. Okay. Yeah. Merrick's gonna be here in 10 minutes to do my nails. Dive in. Okay. You guys, the list, it's so long. How do I go about this? How well, we're gonna put them on your website. Put them on my website. Why don't you did you rank them? I could do it right now. Can you quickly go through and read them? Yeah. Okay. Okay. Downton Abbey. Definitely is gonna be a top 3, top 5. Outlander, Game of Thrones, Sanditon, Versailles, Medici, the Borgias Borgias. I forget how it it was. Borgias, I guess. Borgias Borgias, Jamestown, The White Queen, The White Princess, The Spanish Princess, Wolf Hall, Bec Becoming Elizabeth, Marie Antoinette, Franklin, The Serpent Queen, Mary and George, The Tudors, Bridgerton, Queen Charlotte, Belgravia 12. It's like because they're, like, kind of different. It's like a different cast. The Gilded Age, Vanity Fair, Victoria, War and Peace, Poldark, Harlots, The Empress, Black Sails, Domina, Penny Dreadful. I know it's about monsters, but, like, it's still, like, period, PC. K? Death Comes to Pemberley, The Miniaturist, Howards End, doctor Thorn. And I'm going to start watching again because I started The Great back during COVID. Yeah. Okay. I love, Elle Fanning. Mhmm. I just it wasn't at the moment because it's not, like, really historically accurate. Right. You know what I mean? It's like campy. Right? Campy, and I wasn't in the mood for campy at that time. Mhmm. But I think I am now, so I think I'm gonna go back and restart it because I love her. I also because I just have been watching Franklin, which is so good about Benjamin Franklin, and it's like while he's at Paris. Yeah. Like, you see Versailles. You see all this s**t. Like, it's it's awesome. I'm now think I'm gonna be on a, like, founding fathers vibe because it was like other shows you should watch. There's this show called Manhunt that's about, John Wilkes Booth who shot Abraham That's cool. Lincoln. There's a show called John Adams Okay. That, like, from back in the day that I'd never watched before. There's a show called Sons of Liberty. I was like, cool. And then I also saw that there's this show called Rome. And Dickinson, I started watching Okay. Back in the day. Hailee Steinfeld. Yeah. But that was that was also kind of, like, creepy Mhmm. Or whatever. So that's my list. Best Game of Thrones period piece? It gives the vibe. Okay. Do you know what I'm saying? Okay. Like, if you're interested in a Like, evilly? Yeah. Like, if you're interested in another time, even though that time technically didn't exist Right. It just to me, it counts Okay. Because it gives you the same feeling. Love it. Now the question is, which ones are the best? Downton Abbey, obviously. Obviously. We'll take Game of Thrones out of it just for the sake of of this. Okay? Outlander, 100%. Mhmm. Bridgerton. I started rewatching this weekend. It's it f**king hits every time. Every It's so good. It's so comforting too. Mhmm. You know? It's just fun. It puts you in a good mood. Like, love it. Yep. Versailles, of course, because I'm obsessed with Versailles. Mhmm. So no matter what, like, that will always be one of my favorites. And the Medici, because I became so wildly insanely obsessed that, like, it was my whole personality for 3 months straight. Like, it was all I could talk about. Like, it's it's so good. Trying to think if any of them the Tudors. I think also, I think you should note because The White Queen, The White Princess, The Spanish Princess, don't you have to watch those in a certain order? Yes. Which in the order? In how I ordered them. Oh, okay. There you go. The Gilded Age is fantastic. I wouldn't put it in the top. You wouldn't? No. It doesn't it doesn't, like, bring the same passion out of me as Bridgerton, Outlander, Downton. The Tudors, I think, is how I got into all this. I haven't watched The Tudors. Are you joking? No. I could start. Really? I don't know what it's on. I feel like I looked for it one time and couldn't find it, and it was one of those things you had to buy. Well, it used to be on Netflix, but I think they took it off, and I think they, like, put it on Max or something like that. Okay. I can try again. The Tudors is so good. And I also think The White Queen is how I got into this too. I remember, like I think before Vanderpump Rules, me and Katie were at her apartment, and we, like, saw a preview for it, and it became like a show that we would always watch together. I'm pretty sure it was before Vanderpump Rules. Yeah. And so, like, that fed into because I watched The Tudors, it fed into that. And I think that's how I started this whole obsession with historical fiction. Got it. Yeah. Interesting. But I think Gun to Head I can't pick not one. Maybe Downton Abbey just because it's so well done. It's so solid. It's so solid. Mhmm. I think that would be my number one. It's like Outlander. There are some moments where Outlander isn't a solid. You there is not one season of Downton Abbey that isn't perfect. Right. And I think that's that has to that has to count for something, You know? Mhmm. I will also say, like, Downton Abbey is you can recommend that to anyone and know that they will be just as as obsessed and, like, fall in love with it just like you. Outlander can be polarizing for people. Like, there's stuff that's hard to watch. People drop off. They're like, this got boring or I don't really care. You have to follow along because there's a lot of time travel back and forth. Correct. Like, Outlander is an investment, and that's why it's really rewarding. Mhmm. But Downton Abbey is just, like, the perfect show. Mhmm. Okay. Then you this is what I think I'm gonna do. Downton Abbey, then Bridgerton. Oh, s**t. Yeah. I think so. Because for what it is, it's perfect in what in what it is. Right. We're, like, dangerously close to the next season too. Yeah. 3 days. What? Yeah. The 16th. May 16th. 3 days. Everybody, we're filming this on May 13th. First of all, it's only half the season. Right. That's true. That's true. That's true. But, like, the way I didn't know that Uh-huh. The way that I was just like, it's already May. Oh my god. I know. It still feels like it's January. No. It's halfway through May. That's insane. I know. I'm so excited. Oh my gosh. You know, my spirits have been lifted. This did it. My spirits have been so f**king lifted that I know that in a few days, I get to watch Bridgerton. There we go. That's so exciting. Mhmm. I hope that, you know, that was a well, that was probably a journey, this podcast episode. You know, it started off really depressing. You probably were like, god, f**k Stasi, enough. But look at this positive note we're ending on. That's what matters. That is what mattered. You know, that is what matters. Okay. Lo, thank you so much for being here with me and tolerating my my mood today. Anytime. Bye, guys. Bye.
