I just Sydney is so amazing, so 24 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,800 many like we've had the best time. 25 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,320 I feel like a kinship with this country, like they see me, I see 26 00:01:21,320 --> 00:01:23,240 them.

I moved from Canada 8 years ago 29 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,680 and I obviously never left. So you get. 30 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,280 I didn't. Even hear that you don't have an 31 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:31,960 accent. Yeah. 32 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,400 Solidarity. Exactly. 33 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,360 As a viewer and a big fan of Housewives, I am curious to hear 34 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,720 about your experience being on the show more generally, how it 35 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,480 influences your real life. Relationships, I think the best 36 00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:47,920 way do you want to. Go first. 37 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,960 I was going to say what it's done is make the only 38 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,000 relationship that we have are the relationships on the show 39 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,560 because no one else can tolerate us. 40 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,240 So it is like made these relationships become like even 41 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:00,880 more primal in our lives, you know? 42 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,880 Yeah, I was going to say the circle of friends has definitely 43 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,560 gotten smaller. And you truly learn who's in 44 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,200 your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. 45 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,160 And it's hard that I think the more the show has gained 46 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,040 popularity, you really have to trust or like learn people's 47 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,520 intentions. But Tether's point, like we have 48 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,720 like if I didn't have Heather through this experience, like I 49 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,240 can't even explain our dynamic. It's just beautiful. 50 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,480 So pretty much I got stuck with her but now we're best friends. 51 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,280 Well, it's changed over the years, right? 52 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,080 So yeah, I mean, it changes a lot, but like our external 53 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,800 relationships, like going on the show and writing the book, I 54 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,360 don't have a relationship with my family or my community. 55 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,640 So like the greater community has become like people that 56 00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:51,880 watch the show and my friends that are on the show and like it 57 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,760 doesn't, it feels like a complete change, you know, from 58 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,760 who was like integral in my life before. 59 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:01,960 Yeah, and speaking to the fandom and the wider Bravo community, 60 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:06,480 I'm so interested to hear how having such like, a chronically 61 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,840 online fandom impacts you guys, how you guys deal with that. 62 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,320 I feel like Bravo is so unique in the sense that fan 63 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:17,280 interaction and the culture of the fandom is so integral to its 64 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,320 success. Like, watch what happens live, 65 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,320 you know, people calling in reunions, people asking you guys 66 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,160 questions, like fan interaction is so important to the network. 67 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,640 How do you guys deal with that? I mean, it's like 90% like 68 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,640 absolute support and joy and love and like that feeds your 69 00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:35,720 soul in a way that like is terrifying. 70 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,680 But the negative, you know, you just have to be able to recuse 71 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,040 yourself of it and just like put your phone down, not read it, 72 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:47,640 not buy into it, and just like enjoy the fruits of the good and 73 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,240 just ignore the bad. Yeah, we have a saying in my 74 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,320 house with my kids. It's we don't have time to hear 75 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,680 why the haters love us today. So. 76 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,600 Oh, my gosh, that's great. Yeah, that's our slogan. 77 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,040 And did you make that up? I did. 78 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:05,480 And what the the biggest thing, like the craziest thing that I 79 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:10,440 learned actually from a Bravo exec the other day was that 3% 80 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,880 of our audience is on social media, people. 81 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:18,040 Yes, I'm actually surprised. So so when you actually just 82 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,120 focus on the people who are viewing in from their homes and 83 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,920 giving us massive love, like when we come here and like we're 84 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,960 just doing our thing or Laverne and Shirley thing here and 85 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,560 people recognize us, it's that's the love and the support that we 86 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,960 live for. And yeah, Bravo Con's amazing. 87 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:35,240 Watch what happens live is amazing. 88 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:39,960 But truly, it's about the people who, because honestly, who do 89 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,400 you know that watches a show and gets online and tweets about? 90 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,920 It no, that is so true. Yes, that's so true. 91 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,200 That's so true. So I think that learning that 92 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,720 lesson, it took five years. Really, because you feel 93 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,440 everything to heart and you want to be loved. 94 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,120 You want everyone to enjoy the show. 95 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,880 And so it can hurt, but like when you realize that I've never 96 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,240 gone on a show's page and, like said something horrible to 97 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,880 another person, and I watch every show on every network. 98 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,600 So you just have to like take it with the greatest. 99 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,080 Can you imagine if I got on your Instagram and like Heather, 100 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:11,440 don't ever wear those pants again? 101 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,520 Yeah, like stop losing weight. Specifically us. 102 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,520 I think we love the fans. We wouldn't be here without 103 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:17,360 them. Of course. 104 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,000 OK. So I wanted to talk about the 105 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,760 current season airing. How was shooting the season for 106 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,440 you guys? Obviously I know you guys had a 107 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,920 bit of like a bumpy Rd. the last couple of years in your 108 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,520 friendship, how did you kind of reconcile and where are you? 109 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,800 I mean, obviously you guys are good now, but how do we see that 110 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,640 develop over the season? Well, like everything broke for 111 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,600 us in San Diego in the lingerie you lost me fight. 112 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,920 I've never fought with Whitney like this ever. 113 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,840 We have had big disagreements, but she's never looked at me and 114 00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:48,480 called me a liar. You just lost me forever. 115 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,880 You lost me forever, and that was the biggest mistake in your 116 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,360 life. And so we've been like kind of 117 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,480 trying to rebuild from there. And we've had like ups and 118 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,600 downs. But truly the big pivot was in 119 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:05,000 Bermuda on that beach. Monica is not who she says she 120 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,680 is, OK? She's not our friend. 121 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:14,360 She's someone that has schemed and worked to infiltrate our 122 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:20,040 friend group and the name that you all know her as the woman 123 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,280 who's birthday we celebrated, who we have been trying to 124 00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:35,050 champion and support and defend is Reality. 125 00:06:35,050 --> 00:06:41,720 Von Tees. Like we put our weapons down and 126 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,520 like, I think recognized and remembered like why we were a 127 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,920 safe space for each other and why we loved each other and why 128 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,560 it was important that we like got back to bad weather. 129 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:55,440 Yeah, and and what solidified it even more for me, I can't share 130 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,840 yet, but just to tease, it was our finale of Season 5. 131 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,840 Walking away from that dinner, the finale. 132 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,760 That's when I knew Heather, like I will. 133 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,480 I will do anything to save this relationship. 134 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:16,280 What did I do at the finale? No, we you slept in my bed that 135 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,160 night. Oh, oops, I teased that. 136 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,360 Reveal. So can you tell me about the new 137 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,080 Housewives? Obviously have joined you guys 138 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,400 this season. How do you think they're fitting 139 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,200 into the cast? More nuts for the trail mix. 140 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,640 Brittany was my friend and I think she's like an incredible 141 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:38,280 asset because she's just messed up and funny and like 142 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,720 transparent and earnest and charming. 143 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,480 And so it was really fun to film with her. 144 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,640 Bronwyn was new and did some things that made me question her 145 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,720 motives. And I'm very protective of my 146 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,000 relationships with these women. So I was a little bit got off on 147 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,720 the wrong foot. But stay tuned, you'll 148 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,400 understand why. And I will be right. 149 00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,880 And then maybe not, but I think I will be right. 150 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,000 I think that we both have a lot to learn still. 151 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,120 Like we're learning. Yeah. 152 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,880 It's we're still learning, yeah. It takes a long time to grow an 153 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,480 old friend and we have layers like we've all been together for 154 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,800 five years, but for years before that too. 155 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,080 Let's just say Britt, I love Brittany because her energy's 156 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,800 chaotic and it's amazing. And then Bronwyn, I think was a 157 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:26,120 real test of our friendship and we passed the test like we no 158 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,400 one's going to come between us. Good point. 159 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,800 You are so hot, like you're going to be like a huge star. 160 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,840 Like we should like get as much for this as we can. 161 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,320 Yeah, have you considered joining the Sydney Housewives? 162 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,520 I actually interviewed them on the red carpet and I interviewed 163 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,480 Andy Cohen as well when he came to Sydney. 164 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,320 Love you. It was a red carpet interview, 165 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,600 so it was like really quick. But if Heather and I can get 166 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,200 there, you can get there. Trust me, you're way ahead of 167 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:48,680 us. I'll be. 168 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,880 Dream big, baby, dream big.

Heather and I, I know. 171 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,360 When you met me, I had like a a Pixie cut and a. 172 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,520 Shaved head and she didn't want to be pretty. 173 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,720 Go figure. That is shocking to me. 174 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,840 You're such a glam girl now. I've always been a glam girl, 175 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,720 but I did ditch it for a year to prove a point. 176 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,200 The most sexy I've ever felt in my entire life, and yet. 177 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,160 You have hair now, so you.

And they can just take it. 187 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,400 I mean, it's an incredible experience. 188 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,760 Something that Heather and I say all the time, like we pinch each 189 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,400 other. Like we literally just get to 190 00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,200 dress up and go to dinners and just say whatever we want. 191 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,120 It's. Amazing and like give. 192 00:10:02,680 --> 00:10:04,400 Yourself. Permission to say whatever you. 193 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:04,840 Think. Yeah. 194 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:10,560 But the truth, these moments is what makes it worth it to me. 195 00:10:10,560 --> 00:10:13,680 Like we're sitting in Sydney, Australia, looking at the most 196 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,760 amazing view, meeting all the beautiful people that we've met 197 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,960 and I'm with my bestie and it's like. 198 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,280 That's so cool. Yeah, Yeah, it's. 199 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,840 Amazing pinch. Yeah, and she pinches really 200 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,440 hard and she occasionally bites me. 201 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,120 I have a bite mark from the first from. 202 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,000 When? It's a love by Just like the 203 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,360 Penguins at the Penguin encounter, we encourage everyone 204 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:34,360 to. Think that's what we were 205 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,480 interpret I think we were doing a reenactment yes we've. 206 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,240 Really embraced everything Sydney has to offer, including 207 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,760 Penguin behavior. OK, what is the hardest thing 208 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,840 about filming Housewives? The way it affects our kids 209 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,360 because, well, I don't think it's true for all housewives, 210 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,640 but in our community, it's just not. 211 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,840 It has no value and no one acknowledges it and everyone 212 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,440 just like talks around it so I think the kids feel it more than 213 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,720 anything. Yeah, Well, especially in 214 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,960 Heather and I's case where we've left the predominant culture of 215 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,720 the Mormon church. So our kids have taken the 216 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,840 direct hit of that. That's the hardest part and. 217 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,040 The best part's the money and fame. 218 00:11:14,680 --> 00:11:20,840 Classic, yeah. It is hard to like sit there and 219 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,960 so the rounds, I know Heather keeps saying like the fighting 220 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,160 is fun, but sometimes it's really hard like it. 221 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,200 Hard like running the marathon is hard or hard like lifting? 222 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,240 I don't know. I've never run a marathon and I 223 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,520 don't lift weights. But I imagine it's hard but has 224 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:35,720 its own benefits. Yeah, Yeah. 225 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,320 Do I lift weights? Yeah, yeah, I have a gym in the 226 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,760 house.
