Straight Up with Stassie. Hi, everyone. I'm Stassie Schroeder. She's the star of Bravo's Vanderpump Rules. I'm here to talk about pop culture, reality TV, celeb gossip, relationships. Stassie's new podcast is a hilarious look at the world and everyone in it. I wanna give my opinion on everything. And she's never one to hold back on any topic. Because that's what I do best, judge. This is straight up with Stassi. Welcome to, Straight Up with Stassie. Birthday a dish. Right? Yes. Birthday a dish. 30 it's her 30th birthday. It's my 30th f**king birthday. I'm here with Taylor Strecker, the queen of all f**king radio, at least in my life. I love you for saying that to me. I appreciate it. Is the reason that, I know everything about radio. I will I will receive that compliment. Thank you. Totally. I don't think I would have a podcast if it weren't for you. Keep going. You inspired me. No. Don't you remember when we lived when I lived in New York and you were like, you should totally start a podcast and try and be on radio. And I was like, no. That s**t looks really hard. I'm not not diligent enough. Well, yeah. And here you are. In my mansion, rushing. In my f**king mansion. So let me just explain. Taylor's a great friend. You know, I'm sick of giving you compliments, but thank you so much for I love this. For flying in for my birthday. Like, that is really nice. Do you wanna know how much my ticket cost to come in here? Yes. It's a $1,000. Were you in 1st class? Nope. That sucks. You are actually a really, really good friend because you're a bougie brat. I know. Wow. Yeah. I booked it on Monday. Today is Friday. So Why did you wait so long? Why'd you wait last minute? Because you've been talking about this for, like, 6 months. Because I have this, like, little, job called doing, a podcast and a pre show for Viacom, TV Land for the show called Younger. Do you know Younger? Yes. I do because I love Hilary Duff. Right? She's the best. I'm so obsessed, and I'm so excited that she's pregnant. I know. Well, she didn't show up to our, after show because she was pregnant. I figured that because she was And she left it. She was sick and I was like, oh, f**k that s**t. I was so I was, like, bummed because I love her and she didn't come. And then when I did the podcast with her, she was like, I'm so sorry I wasn't there. She's like, I felt like it was child abuse to put my baby in Spanx for one more day. I was like, that's fair. Wait. What is she like? Tell me what Hillary that I'm and then she gets the other s**t. But I wanna know what Hillary does. Right? Amazing. She's like salt of the earth. So okay. So and don't just say that No. Because you were you you were No. I'm not. I'm I'm not. I don't. I really don't. And but, like, I interviewed her when I was at Sirius before they fired me. Hey, guys. And then she was always great there. But, like, when I got signed on to Younger, I did the after show with her last year, and then now it's a pre show. Mhmm. And but now I have also a podcast for them. So it's called just a shameless plug. It's called, Younger Uncovered. Plug Away. Younger Covered. And the, preshow is called, Getting Younger and it's on Facebook.com/youngertv. Okay. Just, like, if you want to, like, listen to Taylor talk about Hilary Duff and s**t like that, just Google younger because he said younger 400 times. Say younger one more time. Younger. It's like wait. Say crack one more time. Crack. So I hope people get that reference. They don't think I'm I'm I'm trying to, like, attribute crack. Girls. Mean girls. If you didn't get that reference, you don't deserve to be listening to this episode. So, anyway, so I interviewed her for this podcast and she was like, I'm so sorry I wasn't at the show, the pre show because I was like Praggers, yo. And I was like, you know what? That's Is that how she said it? No. That's how I say it. That's how I would say it. I'd be like, dude, I was Praggers, yo. I think that's how I would say it. But so nice and she's so, like, bubbly. She didn't have to be like, I'm so sorry I missed the pre show. You know? She didn't say that. And she was like and she used my name a lot of times, which is like a very good thing. Like, Taylor, Taylor, Taylor. Like, I'm like, are we Biffles? I know. That's one of the secrets to getting people to like you. Saying their name? I learned that a long time ago. Guess who knew it? Daphne's child. Say my name, say my name. Listen, Beyonce knows what's up. Beau is saying. Listen. Beau is feeling. Bo is is more obsessed with Beyonce maybe than the rest of us are. We saw her at Coachella and I can't. He is weird forever changed. Listen. Did did you know do you know about this? About what she was like at Coachella? I'm changing the subject. Was she very, She basically was like men suck dick. f**k you. Whatever. And then ask me? And then brought her She laid it out. J z. Then she brought j z out after basically s**tting. She's punishing him. She is. So I love that he lets her though. It's fantastic. It's great marketing. He is just like whatever you need to do, babe. I f**ked up. He's been doing it because he's so scared of her or the drinks they know it's like really good for business. I hope it's because he's scared of her. Me too. I hope that Bo is scared of me. I hope that Taylor's scared of me, which actually feels you know what's f**ked up is same sex relationships. I can't be like Yeah. You can't be like I can't be like Totally. I got mad so I punch her at the chest. That sucks. Yeah. That's that's, like, horrible. With a guy, you can be like, I gave him a punch because it's like a like a like a gnat. Well, I haven't become fly tap. I haven't been physically violent with Taylor. I'm not physically violent with Taylor. I'm just saying it's like I made a joke. Like, I wanna beat Taylor up. It's like, no. Yeah. You know? If you're like, I'm gonna beat Bo up, it's a That's true. That's true. That's the world we live in. We still try striving for equality, but we're not quite there yet. Yeah. It's true. Why can't When we're allowed just to talk about beating up women, then I know we've we've gotten far. You know? Got it out. But no. It's a joke. Of course, no one should be f**king beating women. No. Except for me. Except for other my ex ex. Right. But no. But it's no. It's a thing. Men can beat up men. It's fine. Right? Yeah. Girls keep up men. It's like celebrated. I actually feel bad about that. Our producers on Vanderpump Rules love when men beat up men. Yeah. If girls do it, it's like, you know. And if a girl beats up a guy, no probs. Oh yeah. Kabobs. I mean I'm not mad at that. I'm me neither. I'm like, I'm okay with it. I just wanna be clear, I don't be up on the bus. First of all, she's as tall as a guy so if I were to beat her up, that would be impressive. Actually, it would. She's super strong and tall. Wait. So So so we love Beyonce. She's a bada*s. Jay z is f**king terrified of her. I strive to be Beyonce. You took a coach flight. Because we had to record a podcast, and I was gonna travel. So I, like they're my bosses, essentially. So I was like, when you give me the go ahead, I'll book my travel because I just wanna be, like, a good employee. So cut to Monday morning, 3 days before Yeah. I came here. Ballsy. And, yeah. Middle seat? No. Ew. That's why it cost you $5. Hold on. Do you wonder do you always wonder, like, who are the people that are buying middle seats? Like, why didn't you, like, have the wherewithal to just, like, choose an aisle or a window? Like, what is wrong with you that you're so mentally challenged that you can't pick. Like, you you don't think about being like, hey. You know, I should probably make sure I'm not in a middle seat. So funny story. I okay. So I'm booking flights and all that's left is middle seats for $700. And I'm like, f**k that s**t. I'm not gonna spend, like, Christian Louboutins to be miserable. Totally. So then I went to JetBlue and they actually had, like, like, 3 aisle seats. Right? Yeah. But it was for, like, 900. And I'm like, at this point, what is money? Right? Mhmm. It's like once you've gone so far, that's how I feel about this birthday and this house, which I would be too. I'm like, how many extra 1,000 of dollars? f**k it. It's like, who cares? There's a threshold once you pass it. You're like, it it doesn't matter. No. It's like I'm already hurting. I just had to pay, like, 255 $1,000 in taxes. So, like, I don't care about anything anymore. I'm like, I will if you want what do you want, Ariana? You want f**king, cake made out of diamonds and gold? Sure. Let's just do it. I don't care. I'm nothing. So I found these seats and it was extra leg room and it was a middle seat, but there was no, like, aisle seat next to it. And I was like, I'm doing it. Yeah. So to me, that feels like poor man's 1st cla*s. Okay. I'm I'm so on board with that. Listen, you gotta finagle something. Thank you. You gotta yeah. So we're we're, like, exit row. And so behind me though is regular seats. Ew. Disgusting. Such a tic tic. I'm totally kidding. I know. I'm gonna be paying off this trip for the rest of my life. So behind me, I hear this girl be like, excuse me, sir, but your elbow is on my armrest. And then he's all mister middle seat. He's all, excuse me. I I pay for every single inch of his armrest, and I'm sharing it because I'm the middle seat, and I pay just like you. And I was like, dude Is that how he sounded? Yes. And I was like, dude, you're middle seat, which means you're not even alive. Smart. You're just like, that's your fault, and that girl's right. She's correct. She's totally right. You're on her s**t. It's like pressing her buttons with your elbow. You should've figured out how not to have the middle seat. I have zero sympathy for people who end up in the middle seat unless they're on a trip with another person Yes. Or their significant other. Correct. If you see that I'm in a middle seat, it's because I'm on a trip with a friend or with Beau And and because I'm nice, and I always will let the other person choose. I'll take I'll I will take the middle seat. I make Taylor take the middle seat because she's so tall. But she is so skinny, but she's so tall. Dude, I would make if I was riding with Taylor, I would make Taylor take the middle seat too. Okay. Good. I feel better about that. Feel better about it. And you're more of the girly one in the relationship? Am I though? That's a great thing. Like, so on I think so. On my radio show, the Taylor's Stryker Show. Shameless plug. I have a co host every Tuesday, Emma Willman. She's awesome. And she's a lesbian. She's also lesbian. And she's always talking about how she wants to be the man one. And then she dated a girl who, like, was more masculine, like, in terms of, like, personality and, like, vibe age. Yeah. And it, like, threw her off. But then I'm like Did she like it or it threw her off? It threw she didn't like it. She didn't like it. Yeah. She wants to be the man one. But I'm like, I definitely like being the girl one, but then I'm like, but I'm also the man one sometimes. In different ways. But to me, like, because Taylor's very feminine too. So it's like Very feminine. Yeah. But I just mean She's tall. There's more I think that's it. I know. She's like a quiet has a quiet strength. Totally. And to me, that's like, to me, that is more masculine than feminine. Yeah. You're right. To me. Like, girls normally that are, like, quiet are just either b***hy or shy. She just has a like, you're, like both of you guys are protective of each other and protective of things than people, but she has a quiet Strength. Strength. Yes. Yes. Where you're just there. I don't know what you're saying. Rat that just doesn't shut up and is just like, I'm gonna f**king take you down here. I'm here. Notice me. It's because I'm so short. I have to be like Right. Listen to me. That's why. Listen, I'm here. Yeah. I was also, like, kind of an only for 7 years, so I think that's probably you know, how someone doing this. Do I sound drunk? Because I'm drunk. You don't sound drunk and you don't look drunk to me. Oh my god. Really? Yeah. Okay. So you're Oh, man. Let's let's establish you're a great friend. You don't even sound drunk. Thank you. I am so happy that you're here for my 30th birthday. It's an honor. Seriously. No. It's really special. Really? Yeah. Of course it is to have you here. Thank you. You've never been here for one of my birthdays. Correct. I'm scared for you. I am maybe I've been away for For a reason. Yeah. I'm scared for you. I'm scared for Beau. This is the first time So here's here's my, bet. So someone always gets yelled at even if it's off camera. Yeah. You don't remember that. Yeah. I always yell at someone. Yeah. So I think that it's either me or Beau. Like, I think that we are here to be yelled at. I've One of us. It's not both of us. It's one. So I'm gonna just it's Beau. It is. Yeah. If it this is the thing. If it is anyone, it would be Beau. When you yell, is it, like, do you know, like, I'm gonna yell at this one on my birthday because it's, like, a part of your brand? No. I'm trying really hard to not know. I have this theory that you've already said a bunch of times already. That was. It's my birthday. That's different. It is. I'm just I'm stating a fact. It it's not your birthday. Your birthday is in a couple days. Yeah. It what? You know, semantics. Alright. What EBSsies. Hold this for me for one sec. Thank you. Why? Because I'm a great guy. Why am I holding oh, I'm loud now because I'm I'm holding 2 microphones. Okay. I well, I'm startling people. Okay. I need lotion for my hands. Oh, you're so annoying. So this is the thing. I think that because I've been very excited to turn 30. 30 is the best. An age that I've talk about that. I've really looked forward to. I'm not one of those people that's like, oh my god. I'm old now. I'm like, no. I f**king feel like a weight. Boss. Can I say something? I used to say that well, like twenties are top priority. Don't f**king turn don't don't don't rain on my parade right now. No. Because twenties are I'm on a high. Okay. Go. Okay? So because I'm so excited about turning 30 and I feel like I'm magically gonna turn into a more sane person when I turn 30 Yes. I have a theory that I'm not gonna get mad at anything. Oh, really? Yeah. I really do. I feel like I feel like whatevs. You know? I'm just happy. I'm happy to be in this freaking giant mansion Let's talk about it. That Ariana and I rented. And I can't say too much about my birthday probably because I don't wanna give anything I mean, Snapchat and Instagram will give it away anyway at some point. Nervous on the show, like, giving too much away because I'm like, I'm going and there's a theme, but I'm gonna say the theme. Yeah. I I think, you know, I'll be able to talk about it more after the fact, I I think. Mhmm. You know what I mean? Because everyone's gonna Instagram it. No. Yeah. Of course. But I just I don't wanna, like, fully say anything. How does that work actually, though? It's like production There are no rules. No. There are no rules. You can't no. Like, they can't it's it's 2018. You can't just, like, hide everything anymore. True. So whatever. It is what it is. But we're at this awesome giant house, and I feel like a f**king real housewife of, like, Abu Dhabi. Okay? Legitimately. Like, I walked into the house, like, and you and Beau are already here, and I'm like, oh, no big deal. Where are my where where are my housekeepers? Where? Oh. Oh. That's just the guy. Comes? Yep. There he is. Right. Right. What's happening? It feels like I belong here. Wait. And also about your nails, that made you also feel very special. You're so done like, you're so I'm so over you tooting your own horn. Okay. I've never in my life got, like, ordered somewhat or, like, on that that app, Glam app or whatever. I've never had Squad. Glam Squad. Come on. I've never had anyone come to my place to do my nails before. I always just go to the same, like, hole in the wall that I've gone to for 10 years. Where they talk about you in a language that you don't understand. But I don't care. Like, I see their fake Cartier bracelets and I don't know how to mind it. It's like, what else? Say whatever you want. I I just don't like when I know people are saying s**t behind my back, in front of my face. Really? I don't mind it. I'm gonna learn to speak every language on this earth so I can figure out how to be like, yo. You talking about me? Mhmm. I am. I know. You would you would like that. But I'm aggressive like that. But thank you for getting someone to come. Shout out to Merrick. That that dude was a f**king boss. He was a nail boss. A gem and a half. And thank you for doing that for me. Now I will never go back to the nail salon ever again because I have been someone I hate getting my nails done. I don't like that I'm just bored sitting in a place like It's actually torture. It really, like, I dread getting my nails done. And now this was so much fun that I'm like, he was a like, he was I'm gonna peel my gels off on purpose. Oh my god. You were peeling them last night like nobody's business. Listen. Once they start lifting, the cops found me. They're coming to kick us out. That's Lisa with her helicopter landing it on my mansion. No. We're in a legit mansion. No. 100%. And I feel bad that none of our friends are here right now and it's just us. It's your fault. That's why it feels like it's my home. Yeah. Because I'm No one's here. Just been us, so I feel like they're not here yet. So it's like all day, I took a dip in the pool. I used the elevator. Yes. Elevator. All alone. All by myself. Yep. Don't recommend it. It's kinda scary. You know? Made sure all the decorations are set up and all that. Just feels like I'm the lady of the house. Actually made sure the decorations were set up, like, after, like, when I talked to that. Whatever. It doesn't matter. Okay. You're a good friend. All of that stuff. What I have is Well, I'm honored and privileged to be here, so thank you. I really am. That's not, like, sarcastic at all. Well, I hope that I don't traumatize you tomorrow. Me too, girl. Can we get some insurance on that s**t? I know. I'm trying to think of, like, what I could get annoyed about. I mean, it would if I do get upset, it'll be at Beau because, obviously, you always take it out on the person closest to you. Yes. I mean, oh, thank you. But and we're gonna take a little break. Yes. We are. For food. Foodies. We're ordering, sir, legit, goat cheese balls. Yes. We are so ex based exactly what people would think. We finally get this awesome house for the weekend, and I'm like, can we order sir? Pausing. She's never one to hold back on any topic. This is straight up with Stasi. Alrighty. Then we're back. Hi, guys. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So when I left so we ordered, sir. Awesome. Goat cheese balls. I ordered a bunch. I ordered the crispy chicken with mashed potatoes. I ordered the chopped salad. We ordered dumplings. Yeah. I did. I just said that. Whole s**t. Whole 9 yards. There's nothing but oh, maybe I should get my phone in case it's here. Okay. I'll hold it. Greatest podcast episode ever. Oh, we're the winners. Listen. You know what? It's kinda hard to to podcast when it's your mother effing birthday. Yep. And you're in a mansion. And I'm in a mansion and I feel like the lady in the house and I'm anticipating having another meltdown and I really don't want to. So I'm putting the energy out there that I'm not. Can we talk about your birthday meltdowns? Because they're epic and it's a good thing and why they happen and, like, to have you, like, I don't know, try to figure out Yeah. It has. Trigger you Yes. That your birthday, like Yes. Specifically? Last year after I had my meltdown. Which I thought you were gonna have. Yeah. Yeah. But you did. Well, I thought about it afterwards because I was like, why oh, that was so embarrassing. Like, dressed as a dead person, f**king flailing and running down, like, Hollywood Boulevard. Running away from a real story. People must have thought I was, like, like, that could've scared people. Like, I'm literally dressed dead crying running around Hollywood Boulevard by myself. Like, what if there was a small child? And they're emotional. Yes. The zombies. I know. So the after that, I was like, why was I so upset? Why what is it? I don't I mean, yeah. It's not, like, the most ideal thing to take a shot out of someone's butt. Probably, like I mean, a butt is a place where s**t comes out, but I'm, like, why would I get so upset? Like, why don't I just say, like, no. I know. Like, I don't understand. And I was, like, you know what? I was so on edge. That's what it was. I was so on edge that, like, I just wanted everything to be perfect and and be fine and and I was just so scared of pissing certain people, men off Yes. And all of that that it just, like, I couldn't, like, really relax. Yep. You know? And so at the end of the night, I was just I f**king and I was drinking so much, and I just lost it. I lost it. On the wrong people? Yes. On the wrong people. And so that's I know that was that meltdown. So that was that one. But what about all the ones before? Well, all the other ones before, I think because I've always I I always use I always was a brat. Well, is this And I don't really meltdown thing though. Is is this Vanderpump rule specific? Or is it, like, all your birthdays? I don't remember because Vanderpump Rules has been my life for so long. But, like, in high school, did you, like, run away from your birthday crying and s**t? I don't remember. I'm trying to think of college. That would help me a little bit more. Like, I don't know. I mean, I'm always such a Yes. I'm always such a I mean, I'm I was I'm a moody little brat. So you know? But I feel less bratty at your on yourself to have a perfect birthday. Is that what you do? I think so. I think that's what it is. Yeah. Because, like yeah. You just want everything to be f**king great, and it's your day. f**king like it's my wedding or some s**t, like, every year. And then when someone falls out of line, it's like, what? It's my wedding birthday. Yes. My sister's getting married in September. I know. And she called me, like, whatever recently. And we got we actually got into kind of, like, an argument about something about our wedding. My bad as the maid of honor, I should just, like, shut my f**king mouth. What did you say? Can you tell me? Yeah. It's like, she wants all of us to wear, like, flat sandals because she's, like, going for, like, a Nantucket look, which is, like, totally cool. But my dress is long and so I would need to get it hemmed in order to, like, wear the flat shoes. But they're like my dress is like all of our dresses are like thick stripes. So if I hem the stripe no. It's cute. It's really cute actually. Thick stripes and then flats. I would feel My dress is long. Gross. No. Like, I would No. It's like very feel hot. It's super waspy. Like, it's Well, you know I love a look like that. I know. I'm saying that I don't I don't wanna feel I wanna feel my hottest. Like and stripes across No. No. No. Top is all white and then bottom is, like, poofy stripes. It's cute. Okay. It sounds cute. But I actually, like, will wear it again, which I know everyone always says and they are so bulls**t. But I actually mean it. It's really f**king I was shocked. No wedding that I've been in there would just wear it again. I was like, wait. It fits like a glove. It's, like, amazing. Okay. So then what are you mad about? You because you're you're all you're doing is praising it. So I have no idea what you're talking about. The flat shoe. So if I have to get this dress hemmed, it's gonna f**k up the, the whatever, the evenness of the stripes. You know what I'm saying? It's like navy blue white, navy blue white, navy blue. Oh, like, so the other people? No. No. So on the bottom of mine, if I have to hem it, it'll be like a little tiny navy blue versus, like, all the other big ones. So I told her I had to wear heels so the dress would, like, work and she was, like, no flats and then I, like, f**king lost my mind. That's bad on me though. Okay. But because you're short? Because you're not the perfect height? No. Because just whatever like, do what the bride wants. No. I won't be like that. Yes. No. I won't. Yes, girl. You won't. I won't. I don't even know if I'll have bridesmaids. I don't wanna put people there. Well, you won't have bridesmaids because you know that you'll be a monster. I really don't think I will because I've never I really I swear to God, Taylor, I think I got all your bridesmaid. I got all of my I get, you know, I got all my monsteriness out with 29 years of birthdays that, like and I've never been someone that's like, oh, I've dreamt of my wedding since I know exactly what the flowers look like and all this. It's not really me, like, at all. So I don't feel like I'm good even without bridesmaids. I don't think that I will be like that. I think that I'll just be like, yo, I'll pay someone and be like, handle it. Well, what I said to my sister, Paige, I was like, listen. So we, like, on to fight. We made up. It's fine. But then she was like, I just feel like everyone's so mad at me and, like, I have all these decisions to make and people, like, have different opinions. And I said, Paige, the best thing you can do for your wedding It's her wedding. Do whatever the f**k she wants. Whatever the f**k you want. And don't worry about anybody else. Exactly. And I said, but also don't worry about it being so perfect because that puts so much pressure on you. And I said, no wedding is perfect. They all get f**ked up in some way, shape, or form. Katie is perfect. Let it go. Yeah. But I feel like she was, like, a let it go bride. She was. She was, like, so chill. It was so freaky. So that's, like, with your birthdays. I think that you, like it's like this perfectionism thing and you put this pressure on yourself and thus create the problem. Well, I don't feel like I will be that way this time since I'm sharing half the half the responsibilities. Since we're also in a mansion. And we're in a mansion. And it's gorgeous upstairs. There's really nothing to be decorated it so good. There's nothing to be mad there's nothing to be mad about. You totally decorated it. So I did it, like, all day today. Ugh. You're such a hard worker. f**king skank. Listen. Bridesmaids, all that s**t stresses me out. It's crazy. And you know what? When I think about actually, like, okay. I'm gonna get married one day, and then I was like, I probably wanna have bridesmaids. I'm like, f**k. I'm gonna piss off my friends. And I'm like, wait. It's not their wedding. It's mine. Yes. I'm like, I can't just worry about pissing you guys off if I don't wanna have bridesmaids. But I think the reason you have birthday meltdown is because you think you're pissing people off even though you might not be, and then you get mad at yourself, and then you project your own self hatred onto other people. Self hatred. That's totally it. Okay. Listen. This time, I really think No meltdown. I really Please. I just don't know what could possibly like, I know if I had a meltdown, it would be at Beau because you always meltdown for the most besides last year, I didn't get that. I was misdirected. But I feel like you just get mad at, like, the person that you're in love with and the person that you know what I mean? But don't you, like, kind of feel in love with me? I do. So maybe it so maybe it'll be you. But we've never gotten in a fight before. I know. I really don't wanna fight with you. I really don't think that I couldn't see anything. I don't know. I feel like we're not Oh, I'm just like a little jealous b***h sometimes. So maybe if, like, I see you hanging out with everybody else but me, I'll just, like well, I'll tell you this. If the cameras are on you, which they're gonna be the whole time, that's gonna be the case because I'm not going on camera. Listen. I just might get f**king jealous and so, yeah, it'll go at you or Beau. If I don't get to hang out with you guys and, like, I'm just trying to entertain everyone else that's there I know, but you're gonna have to. I know. I'm preparing myself though. I'm preparing I need to not be such a jealous little b***h. I just got anxiety. I know. I just have anxiety over cameras. They scare me. Do you know this about me? I mean, you've said this but, like, I don't know why. Well, so when I do, like, the, like, younger stuff, it's, like, scripted and, like, I know where I'm going and, like, I know my angles and it's, like, okay. I don't I I love it but, like, it makes me nervous but not, like, crazy nervous. But, like, being on reality TV, you guys, it is a skill and, like, it I don't even notice cameras. That blows my mind. You just gotta live your life, boo. Yeah. But it's like You just gotta live your life like they're not there. That's what we do. Like, adapt to getting used to them? Because, like, I thought from the beginning. I always wanted to be on reality TV, and then I wanted Summer House. Right? Uh-huh. And I lost my f**king mind. I threw a drink at somebody. I was embarrassed for months, not days, months. Okay. I know. But that you have to just relinquish control and just realize that, like, whatever happens happens. There are gonna be moments where you're not proud of and you're f**king mortified and all that. And then just it is what it is. It is what it is and it'll pass just like everything else. And do you watch, like, all your you have to, right, your episodes? And of course. I'm curious. I wanna know. I wanna see. I love our show. Your show's the best, but it doesn't make you, like, so nervous? Yeah. My heart sinks into my butthole, you know, when I'm like, alright. Here we go. Wait. Can I ask you the scene that you were the most bathos? That's, like, my word for, like, I'm so uncomfortable at the most bathos over. I mean, it varies because there's I just the the one that, like, sticks out the most in my head is when I was in that, like, white bathing suit drunk yelling at Sheena and, like, then I was just, like, Ariana's coming out of the f**king water like a f**king mermaid. I, like, couldn't that was really tough. But you know what? I'll say the hardest one that that I will never watch again. That, like, when I watched it, I f**king it I was in a cold sweat. Like, I the next morning, I was, like, holy s**t. Was the scene with Patrick at the finale. Oh, god. Because I couldn't put a text together. I remember you texted me and you were, like, have you seen it? And I hadn't because, you know, I'm, like, so bad about that stuff. And I'm always behind because I have to go to bed at, like, 6 o'clock at night. And I finally watched it, and I was like, it's it's it's hard. Like, I It was just like a like, you in a way that we've never known and or seen you. Yeah. Or and but I also, as myself, watched it and thought the same thing. Like, what do you think it was? I was so f**king scared. Like, I Of how he came across and how he would react? No. Of how he would react to anything. Like, I walked on egg I realized that, like, I spent my the last 4 years Yeah. Not being myself, like, and walking on eggshells. Well, I didn't even realize that. Just so because you knew me. You you knew me in that existence. Yeah. Exactly. So that, like, it took a really long time to, like, recognize that, like, that's how s**t was. Mhmm. Like, and when I watch that scene and I'm, like, so f**king timid and brain dead that I can't even, like, formulate a sentence to him, and I'm asking and I'm apologizing to him, I was like, who the f**k is that? Like, who is that woman? Who who who is that? It's so weird. Yeah. But, like, we all and, honestly, I think this is something and, like, Ariana and I talked about this at the reunion. I feel like that's something that, like, we bonded over, and I think that's something that, like, made Ariana realize or, like, I'm you know, whatever she had thought about me isn't really true, and and we kind of just were both in before she was at Sandoval, she was in a relationship where it was like that. And I think she was sympathetic towards that because it's like the strongest woman can f**king not even realize they're being sucked into, like, something to where they're just because, like, someone's not beating you. Do you know what I mean? It doesn't mean that they're not doing other s**t that's Mistreating. Mistreating you in in other ways that's, like, even more profound and does more damage. You know what I mean? That was a crazy that would that was a really hard scene to watch, like, really hard for me. Yeah. I should do. So that is that is my cringe word. That is my most not to get all sorry else. But you get sorrows. But that is my most yeah. And I never if if anyone notices that I'm like that again, then I want ever I want people to tell me right away because I don't want to ever be stuck in a situation where somebody, whether it's a f**king boyfriend, friend, parent, colleague, I don't care, makes me feel like that. Hell to the no. Well, you're not now, girl. I mean, Beau is incredible. Shown by like a diamond. I'm so obsessed with him. Like, everyone is. It's f**king annoying. I'm like, what's that like to be liked by everyone? Tell me about it. My girlfriend Taylor was like, she's the only one. She's the best. I'm like, what about I know. What about us? Us? It's like, what about me? I'm like, why doesn't everybody like me? You know what I mean? Like, he's made Beau makes me more likable. I tell him this all the time. I'm like, dude, like, people that didn't even like me now like me because of you. That's what it is. I'm always like, you you go ask. And she's like, why are, like, because people like you. People don't like me. Exactly. We can okay. I I'm so glad that you can relate. I mean, I already I already knew this about you and Tay, but now I'm in and now I'm in your situation. Whereas, like, previously, I was the more liked one in the relationship. Yes. Definitely. Wait. And me too when I was married. I was always the more liked one. Yeah. And then I'm, like, the less like one. I'm, like, what the f**k is this s**t? PS, if for anyone who's just, like, getting to know me, I'm Taylor, and I did a girl also named Taylor. So annoying. It's so It sounds like a different person or I'm, like, digging myself. I never know, like, who do I wanna call Tay, who I wanna call Taylor. It, like, switches all the time. And I'm just like, f**k this. You know what I mean? Don't you have a middle name I could use? Yeah. Just call me Ashley. That wouldn't work. That's my middle name. I know. But it would just wouldn't work. You don't. You don't. Am I an Ash? You're not an Ashley. Taylor is. Not there's nothing wrong with Ashley. You're just such a Taylor. Great name. I know. I'm so Taylor. Taylor, my my Taylor, is she her middle name is Jenna. But I thought her middle name was Janet for a while, and that's what we should call Taylor. We, Janet. Odalys should call Taylor Janet. Janet Donahue. Janet? Shout out to you, Janet Donahue. What's up? Yep. Wait. Speaking of relationships, you want to talk about jealousy? Oh, yeah. Well, I was kind of on that because I was like, I could be jealous of you if, like, you get to hang out with, like, a bunch of people over there and you're not hanging out with me. And then I did that then. And then you, like, sidetracked and, like, you know, one of my themes was being a jealous o. I'm written down. You told me to. Yeah. I know. I know. Lack of trust, actually, is what I wrote down. Because you, me, and Beau were sitting here, and I was listening to you f**king b***h, like, joke about how, like, you're f**king so jealous with Taylor. I'm so jealous. I'm not as jealous as you, but I'm an I'm a I am Don't you dare? Don't you dare? I am there. I'm there. We're equal. I'm I think you might be a little more jealous than I am. You know why? Because I don't know the rule of being a lesbian. That's probably right. And it's real it's it's like I feel like a teenager. You know? Like, I'm learning, like, who's a threat? Who's safe? Who's, like but what get it. What is so interesting is that when I listen to you be like that, it makes me realize how stupid I am for being jealous because I'm like, Taylor would never f**king cheat on you for joining me. Never. Never. And I'm looking Beau and I'm like, Beau would f**king never. Never. So what the f**k am I doing being like we're just being insane b***hes. Just being like, like, where listen. I know where mine comes from. Every f**king boyfriend cheats on me. So, like, that's where that came from. Mine, I had, like, both. You said to me, did boyfriend cheat. Well, like, where does it come from? Boyfriends cheated on me, like, pretty much every single one. My ex husband was a, like, a loyal guy. You're a lesbian. True. And I also, like, stopped hating sex with them for, like, a year into, like, our relationship. So Mhmm. Well, there's so there's that. So I didn't fall into that category. So I'm just cheated on because my personality sucks. No. Don't you dare. You're cheating on because you your picker's off. Yeah. My picker's been off for a really long time. But not anymore. I know. But still but it's still it's like it's hard You know what I mean? Shut up. It's hard to break old f**king habits, especially since I used to, like, pride myself on being, like, the psycho girlfriend. Like, in my early twenties, I loved it. I reveled in it. I was, like Addicted to that. It was and now it's, like, I'm just trying to be the psycho girlfriend. And, like, sometimes I don't even feel the things that, like, I'm saying. And I have to check myself and be, like, dude, you're just wanting to be psycho. Like, you don't you don't even know you're not even you have zero feeling about what you're saying. You're just saying s**t because you're drunk and wanting to be psycho. Taylor says to me all the time, like, why does it have to be so dramatic? And I'm like, because these are my feelings. And then she says, feelings aren't facts. And then I'm then I haven't talked to her for 2 days. Feelings aren't facts. Don't do that. You don't talk to her for 2 days? No. I'm joking. Okay. You think I cannot talk to someone for 2 days? That is It's emotional terrorism. I cannot talk for 2 seconds? No. Yeah. I don't well, it didn't even make sense for you to even make the joke about it, honestly. It was a poor joke. I'm just distracted by this painting on the wall, and I'm all I'm thinking is, why do rich people have such bad days? I know. Like, I'm looking at this going. It's a bunch of it looks like an like a hair salon where somebody cuts somebody's ratchet. No. They're extensions off. Yeah. Yes. Tape in extensions. Yes. Tape in extensions. There's a redhead. There's somebody who's old because it's gray. One. No. It's more gray than me. One. Listen. It's abstract and I'm thinking it's more gray like an old person. Whatever the extension This one's ombre. The how what's ombre? And it's, like, these, like, wack extensions just, like, laying on the ground of the hair salon. And that's and how much money did that s**t cost? You know what? I don't feel like see it, but I wish they could. I honestly think that that wasn't expensive. Oh, really? I feel like I can tell about, like, cert I I feel like I'm good at least at art. Really? I feel like I can tell when something is so weird to me. Well, because, like, even, like, the things that are, like, super, like, weird and and new agey and it's just like a bunch of brushstrokes or whatever Yeah. The ones that are expensive, there's something about it that makes it special that it took you can tell, like, there was a thought behind it and Okay. And this just legitimately kinda looks like it was art cla*s. You know what I mean? Okay. But here's my thing. I just it doesn't look it doesn't look refined. Like, in in I don't mean refined as in, like because modern art doesn't have to I mean, like you're saying. It just looks messy. It looks like haphazard and just, like, whatevs. It's like this will it's like somebody who was like, you know what? I'm gonna make a painting that could possibly look expensive because it's technically modern art, but it's like, no. Hold on. Katie's calling right now. Okay. Pause. Okay. I'm not even pausing. What's up? I'm here. Oh, sorry. We're in the middle of doing the podcast. Go around to the other go around to the other door. Sorry. There's so much s**t. Oh. Is it? Well, it's like right next to it. And there's the elevator down there because we're ballers. We're talking about art. Hold on. We'll pause and come get you. Okay. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Okay. So, yeah, Katie's here. Okay. Katie's here. You know what? I need an Instagram story in that elevator anyway. I know you do. I'm gonna do that. So this art and so here's the thing. So our job as artists, whether you paint or you're on reality TV or you have a radio show or whatever we do in entertainment. Right? Mhmm. Our job, I learned at a young age, because I used to do plays because I'm, like, a nerd like that. I was voted most talented in my senior class because of musical theater. So shut up. We're gonna fight because that's what I was voted. Are you joking? Yeah. Oh, I was like, wow. That's wow. But Oh, I was like, wow. That's wow. But sometimes we do finish each other's sentences. Always. So the job of art, whatever form it is, TV, film, audio, to make people feel Something. To feel, like, very polarizing emotion. So it's either love. Love is, like, that's a thumbs up. But hate think it necessarily is also a thumbs up. But also So we hate this painting, which means No. We hate it because it's a job. We hate it because it sucks. Or girl did his job her job. No. I don't think that that all art is to be polarizing. I think it's to make somebody feel something. So we feel hate. That's feeling success. Because it's a waste of space. Difference is failure in art. Okay. Well, I never wanna make something that sucks so bad that people say you're a success because we hate it so much. Well, I like it because when the haters wanna hate, I'm like, thank you because it's kind of like you're saying you love me. It's different. This this But this painting f**king sucks. This is like a rich person's thing that where they're like, we can just we don't have to spend a lot of money on the painting because we can just buy some modern art that my son made and, like, pretend that it's like f**king Picasso. And he has this obsession with hair extensions, and he's probably sleeping with prostitutes. Honestly, now I love the painting. Okay. Wait. I checked back everything I said. Should I go to my notes? Yeah. Well, it was jealousy and Instagram. That was it. So Liking eye photos. Yeah. Like That's what I thought. Yeah. Because you're f**king scrolling. This is the thing. My photos. We didn't even talk about jealousy and all that. But okay. Wait. What? Liking I photos. Okay. I wrote photos. Okay. Why is my phone going to I photos? Because it's an iPhone. That's I'm surprised when I type my own name, it doesn't say I saw see. Soon Fair enough. In the future, what if everything is I something? Because I mean Because I you I buy I hello. Apple has taken over The world. Everything. So what if in the future, every language changes and it starts with I something? I really wanna, like, unpack all. I really I want I and I more I wine. I totes understood what you said. Right? You want more wine? Yeah. That's what I said. Yes. So or a Prosecco. I don't even know why I just got specific there. O m g. No. Yeah. Because I see you scrolling through Instagram and you make up this is why I wanted you right there. You just saw me scroll. Exactly. I just saw you f**king scrolling and I was you were you were basically b***hing or not b***hing. You were make I'm not careful. I'm not giving specifics. You were making fun of some dude. He looked like he had hair highlights, and I was like, I don't even recognize him. And then I was like, legitimately went and double clicked it, though? No. I went like, you were oh my god. He looks insane. Like, what he used hair highlights. Double clicked it. And I was like, what the f**k did you just do? Like, you just hearted something you were talking s**t about. Legit. Don't you think that the majority of the world does that? I don't. Katie, don't you do that? You like sorry. Like, that's stupid, and then you like it on Instagram? Yeah. Are you serious? Do you just like everything? No. No. Then how do you choose what you want? Because it's evoking emotion, and she must emote with a heart. But if she could emote with, like, a a a thumbs down, she would too. Art. It comes full circle. I just think if you're making fun of something, you can't like it. Well, I did. I I it really it it just it disturbs me. Embrace my basicness. I appreciate you trying to embrace your basicness, Katie. I really appreciate that. But if you're choosy about what you're liking on Instagram, then you shouldn't be liking things you're making fun of and also not liking things that you should like. Yes. Which brings us to I forget. You said to me, so you like s**t you don't like, but you don't yeah. I was like, you don't f**king like all my photos. You like you like my photos, like, once every 2 months. Okay. So what does that mean? Here's the deal. Like, if Bo if Bo doesn't like one of my photos, I'm, like, get on your phone. So I was, like, just go like the photo. At taylor donahue. That's my girlfriend. My girlfriend who I live with Yeah. Every single day and I'm gonna marry. Maybe 50% of hers I like too. I don't go on that much. When I go on to Instagram, this is gonna make people unfollow me. Please don't unfollow me. Please, please, please. But when I go on, I Unfollow her. No. Don't. Attillers tracker. I don't because I like it makes okay. So a lot of studies have showed that Instagram Are you joking right now? We've done your research. You're telling me you No. The research. The research impacted my feelings. Okay. Alright. I'll let you continue. But insert like, when you're on Instagram, it can make you feel really depressed. And so I'm, like, really Okay. Let's get real. I'm really, like, lonely a lot of the days for real because I have really weird working hours. Okay. So I'm, like, alone and I miss my girlfriend and I miss you guys. I miss I miss my family. And then go on Instagram. Everyone's having so much fun and it makes me depressed. So and study support the people, like, get depressed from looking at Instagram. So when I go on Instagram, I post and then sometimes I don't even look if I'm in a bad mood because, like, I can't even look and see people having fun because it just makes me feel, like, really sad. Well, that makes me sad. So now you know why I don't like. Is it that I don't love you? I just I don't go on. I don't just not on it. I don't go on. I could've just said that and, like, really protected my emotions here. Yeah. But, no, I appreciate you getting vulnerable right now. Thank you. But, no, but but it's a thing. It's, like, it it can really like if you're like sad, don't go on Instagram. It will make you that much more sad. For real. No. The only time Instagram makes me sad is when people post hot photos of their bodies. Of life. That's what it's doing. That is the only thing that makes me feel sad. Like, I I told you, I'm not somebody who knows a lot about FOMO. I don't experience that very often. I experience it every day of my life. That must suck. It's terrible. Like, I don't know how you live. It's exhausting. It's exhausting. Like, but why? You have, like I just I've never understood it. I think it is. Suffer from grass is always greeter syndrome. Beau has this. You know? Yeah. We talked about it last night. Beau has FOMO and I and he is so that is where we we're so similar in so many ways. Yep. And but, like, that is where I'm, like, I don't understand it. Well, this is, like, you and Tay because Tay doesn't have FOMO and doesn't get jealous and it makes me insane because I'm like, how are you not FOMO right now? She's probably FOMO for the first time in her life literally right now. Well, yes. Because she's not here. Yeah. But that's different because the it's it's her I mean, it's me. You know, I've been wanting both of you guys to come out at the same time, and it's my birthday. On a work trip. And and I got FOMO. Yeah. I I'm okay. Like But she's working. That's insane of me. Yeah. No. I well, she's also in in campgrounds. So, like, I would I you know what? I would get FOMO. I I would get FOMO for vacations. Vacations. Yes. Something I would I would get FOMO. Trips. But meaning, no, just, like, normal, like, people hanging out and doing fun things, I don't care. Like, when I hear that, like, my friends have all gotten together and no one texted me, legitimately zero feeling. Okay. But you're also with Beau right now and you're so happy and loved. No. Because always Beau because no. Yes. I'm all happy and in love, but, no. I've been I've always been like that. Really? Because of How? I'm oh my god. Give me an injection of that. Because I'm like, like, I could be the best f**king thing in the world, and then I see something else. And I'm like, oh, that looks fun. No. Because you know what's fun? Like, being at home and I'm on my iPad, like, scrolling through Revolve or things I wanna buy and I'm with my dogs and I'm drinking and I'm watching, like, Real Housewives of New York. And I'm like, no. Like, that's maybe I make macaroni and cheese with some f**king hot sauce like that. Wait. Hot sauce or sriracha? Both. You mix cholula and sriracha. I know. I'm just Patrick was such a dick. That was such a I mean, it's like, dude, you know how I make macaroni and cheese. Like, I would always mix sriracha and cholula and, like and I love hot sauce. So, like, shut up. Friends. You were, like, said something about whatever, hot sauce. And he was, like, oh, Cholula? And I said, like and I'm watching and I go like this, sriracha Yeah. TV. And then you were, like, sriracha. I was, like, put the cholula. Oh my god. That's why we're besties. Yeah. There's nothing better than so there's nothing better than that. There's no unless, like, people's, like, my whole group of friends are in another country Right. Having the time of their life vacationing, I'm not gonna feel FOMO. That's an incredible quality. I think a lot of people, especially in the age of social media, experience mass constant FOMO. That's why it's a thing. That's why we're talking about FOMO like it's a word. Okay? But I just think people so if I could help people, people should probably think about when are you, like, really calm and happy? Is that happy place when you're sitting at home Yes. Doing things that you wanna do Yes. Like, even if it's just you by yourself? Yes. So take pleasure in the fact that you're doing that thing. So as you're on Instagram looking at people living their lives and you're getting depressed, but you still are living your life and you're sitting around watching The Bachelor. That is fun. It's fun. It is. And you know what? When I get invited to the parties, guess what I don't wanna do? Go. You just wanna be invited. Now I just figured you out. You just wanna be invited. You got it. Oh, this is, like, this is, like that's, like, Beau. Beau wants to be invited, and he's also scared of missing out on fun. It's insane. I it's I think I just wanna be invited less less concerned. As long as I'm invited, I'm, like, I chose to miss out on the fun. Right. He has a different level. He has a different level of FOMO. It's like like, I'm missing out on the fun. Oh, yeah. Oh, it's it's yeah. Well, you know, he can have fun for the both of us. So, like, see, I'm telling you, he's making me look better. So that's why I don't like 50% of your pictures because I don't see them. Fine. Well, I'm just saying, listen, if you don't if you look at the photo, a photo on Instagram and you'll always like yours when I see them. No. I'm not even talking about that. Comment. I'm just saying as a rule of thumb for people, I just feel like if you're making fun of the photo, don't like it. Fair. I hate when I see, like, a photo that I know my friends are making fun of and they have already liked it. Like, you're thinking the same thought that I have, shut up. Like, why did you I'm gonna start you know what? I'm gonna start calling people out and just direct messaging them. I'm gonna start calling my friends out and sending the photo that they liked that I know they're secretly making fun of. Okay. And I'm gonna be like, you're a little b***h. Okay. But wait. So So I had a friend who used to call me out on social media like it was her f**king job. I'm not talking about publicly. I'm gonna direct message. I'm not a mean person. But she not only did she not like my photos. Right? Because she was laughing at me, but she wanted to let me know on my comments. Well, that's the worst type of person. The worst. Yeah. If you're gonna leave a mean of, like, a mean comment. One time she wrote to like the photo. She wrote this when I got a Rolex for my birth. I was rich once upon a time, not anymore. When she was married and was pretending to be straight. Thought she was straight. So my husband got me a Rolex because that was, like, just like a thing in their family. They all had Rolexes. It was like a rite of passage. Must be nice. Yeah. It was. And so I got a Rolex and I took a picture on my birthday, not of the Rolex. I'm not a f**king a*****e monster, but just, like, of me in my outfit with the Rolex on my arm. Okay. And this friend of mine wrote on my public Instagram page, I hope you love that Rolex. I'm sorry. I hope you love your husband as much as you love that Rolex. She deserves to die. And I was part of she's part of the crew. I was like, what? That deserve to die. Like, that's like, I'm so sorry to hear. That just shouldn't shouldn't be here. Like, we need to we there's too many people. We're overpopulated. The world is overpopulated, I think, and that is a category of people that I think they shouldn't be here. People who are a*****es like that on Instagram. Like, I was like, that is the f**king so rude. There's no point bad messages. There's no point to just being that vindictive and b***hy. Like, you're literally not serving anyone. You're not even serving yourself. Like, did that feel good? Because you should be embarrassed. So I'd rather laugh at someone behind their back and like their picture because that's the polite way to think. Why don't you just not like that photo? Laugh behind their back in your head because I love that photo. And just don't then you'll like the next photo that they post. Don't encourage embarrassing behavior. Don't encourage embarrassing posts. Anyway, my sporadic Instagram liking has nothing to do with anything more than my insecurities. Okay. That didn't sound very convincing. It did. Okay. Whatever.
