This is Teddy Teapot with Teddy Kevin. Guys, I am so excited this week on Teddy tea Pod. I have Sheena joining me and not only have we had so many years of laughs, but I haven't even seen you in person since you had a beautiful baby girl. Congratulations, thank you. I know it's been so long since I've seen you. Like, there's so many people who haven't met Brock, haven't met Summer. It's just like a pandemic, a whole baby. It's crazy. It is crazy. I met Brock for just a second when we were at Bravo Con but it was was it like new that it was kind of new then? Right, oh my god, so new. We were dating I think seven weeks maybe at that point, Like it was so new. Well, he how did you guys meet? We were in San Diego Music Festival weekend, ended up at the same after party. They were like twelve people. There was a really small, little exclusive thing and I heard the accent and then I was like, oh my god, I was just in Australia and New Zealand a few months ago. Started showing him some pictures, didn't ask for my number anything. Then the next day he asked his friend. He was like, wait, who was that girl? I was talking to slit in my d MS. Was so lucky that I checked that. I say, you opened the point ninety nine like the plus ninety nine. I never do. I'm one of my girlfriends was like, oh, the club we went to last night posted a cute video of us check your d m s and then I see this TM and I was like, who's this? And I opened it up and he asked me if I wanted to go to a Rams game next time. I was in Next time, Key was in l A. And I was like, I love that you led with football. I'm actually a Charger fan. I know you're a Rams fan. Well, I was like, come on, you guys have to come with us now. A new stadium is incredible, ridiculous. I know we're leaving. Life is beautiful early because there's the home Chargers game on Sunday. I love that. So you're in Vegas right now? What are you guys up to? So we were at circa earlier. We went to the new stadium swim which is so dope. Oh my god. It's like the coolest pool with literally the biggest screen you've ever seen. It's so nice. So we were there. We're staying at the d Downtown. We got life is beautiful tonight, my heart tomorrow and then life is beautiful. Then back to l A for the Chargers game. You know what it's. I'm coming straight from Miami myself and I am on the struggle bus. Like we're sitting here, there's like Splitzer's next to me. I'm like, should I indulge now or wait until after I present cheap trick because I've got to, like at least be able to read a teleprompter. I'm like, I'm like, I could fudge you with Sheena. Like we've been in a lot of situations together where we've atched oh my god, super Bowl, super Bowl. I don't even remember us flying home. I just remember the videos. I had my little Breatha lizer thing and we're like, let's see who can blow a higher number. Champagne, Champagne. The problem is is I was already a mom then you weren't. So what is my excuse? I'm a mom. Now we're going to build a breatha lizer. Later, you know, I'll probably have to dump my milk tonight. So summer here with you guys, or yeah, do you want to see her? Yes? Okay, Mom, can you bring her? Oh? How can I love that your mom is here? This is amazing. It's a family affair. So how many months old is she? She's four and a half four and a half months And I heard you had like some some sort of medical condition after you gave birth. Their everything's good or what what happened? Everything is good? Now? Yeah, here's my little angel super Hi. Oh my she almost time. Hi? Is that the vill you're gonna have to meet baby daf Yes you are, Yes, you are. She is so delicious almost makes me want to have another And then nope, no bye. Is that exactly how you looked as a baby? Exactly? They have a side by side of my dad holding me and my dad holding her. And if my dad, I mean he's aged the slightest. That's the only difference you can tell on the photo. It's like, oh, okay, so that's she not on that summer. I mean she has like the like her skin, like everything. She's just so flawless, like I can't even take And what about the fact that all of you vander Pump Rules girls had babies at the same time, I know, so crazy. So yeah, you were asking me, so I'm preclamsia right, Um, when I was already like induced and like in labor, they diagnosed me with pre clamsia, and then after I had her that advance to help syndrome. So what exactly is that it's extremely rare to get. It's even more rare postcard um. It's like the second highest fatality and pregnant women. It's the destruction of your red blood cells, which elevates your liver enzymes and lowers your blood plate lists. Your body is just not okay and it literally needs help. And then how did they fix it? So I was on blood pressure medication. I got put on a magnesium drip for twenty four hours that made me extremely flew like, like I thought they were exaggerating, and they're like, Okay, we're gonna start you on the magnesium drip. You're gonna feel very flu like I'm like yeah, whatever, Like I got there. Oh no, it was no joke. I was like shivering uncontrollably. I felt like I was having seizures, Like it was the scariest thing ever. And then when she came out, she was just like super lethargic because all of the stuff they're pumping me obviously affected her. So then her heart rate was low. She had a bit of a murmur that we think is cleared up now, but that she had to have the cardiologists come in have an e KG at two days old. It was just like it was a lot. I was on blood passion medication for about two months after that, and then everything started to go back on its own. I had to do blood work every week, and once that regulated, I'm like totally fine and back to normal now. But I'm at high risk for that to happen again if I were to get pregnant again, and I'm already high risk because of my age. So we might we might go with surrogate. We might a dog. We might take our chances. We might just be happy with one. Yeah, I I mean I had a similar situation happened with Cruise, where you know, we're I was having trouble after I had the potos and I end up having him. His heart rate like was not good. They immediately had to put him in the nick you and then I was just so sick that they, you know, put me on all this medication. So then I like, just I couldn't I couldn't even really fathom what was going on. But here, I mean it was heartbreaking and really sat you know, having to take your child to the e k G and do all those things and still to this day he has aortic by cusband valve. But when it comes to childbirth, it's like you almost forget all the negative. Like it's it's like it goes away, like going into having dev five years later or six years later, however long it was. It was like I forgot all the scary memories because I was so excited to have another baby. So whatever it is that you do decide, those memories do subside until you're like in there and then all of a sudden you're like they say something different. You're like, oh, this has changed since the last time. But I mean, you were blessed with such a beautiful baby. Girl about it is? You know, it's a lot too, it's a lot to go through, especially and did you suffer from any like postpartum anxiety or depression or you felt good? We were right back into filming three days after I got home from my five day hospital stay. That I was like, I didn't even have time to process like everything. It was just like back to work after two years of being off like boom so quickly. What was the difference, Like how did you do it? I thankfully had an amazing supportive partner who was the most hands on dad, my mom around full time to help us, and once we wrapped, then I was like, Okay, now it's like everything settling in and now I'm like a full time like home with her all the time. But it was just like, you know, I had to be here for this event, here for this, and it was just like so much going on. I was like struggling with just like my body image. But it's slowly all gotten better, getting back to just feeling like myself again. And thankfully, I think most of the anxiety I had was leading up to having her because I had the miscarriage, so then I was just terrified of anything happening to her. But it's like, if it's not a miscarriage, it's a stillborn. If it's not as stillborn, it's SIDS. If it's not SIDS, it's we're getting kidnapped. Like there's just always going to be something of the parent that you worry about. And I think that just comes with being a parent. Yeah, I think that no matter what, you never want to see your child struggling or in pain or you know, any of those types of things. But what I kind of always had to remind myself is like I can't but I can't keep them in a bubble forever. Like I have let them learn from their mistakes the same way that I do. But it's so hard as a parent because like now that and you'll see the same with Summer now that Slate is like getting older and getting more mature and all these things. Like I see her doing things because her personality type is so much like mine, and I want to be like, no, don't do that. You're gonna regret that, And then she's like get off of you know. Like so it's it's beauty of having a daughter. But it's also I realized that I don't do it with with crews. I do it more with you know, with the girls. So I'm like, okay, I have to, like because you see yourself in them and you really just want to protect them. But I've noticed the same thing, um, you know, with my husband and son, and then you have you have two stepkids as well, right, Yeah, they're in Australia, so I haven't even been able to meet them yet because we haven't been able to travel. And that's the whole thing that you'll see play out next season with where the situation lies with his act and the kids. It's it's a lot so one one day. And I mean I have a stepdaughter as well, and I would just say the biggest thing is, no matter, no matter what not that you're even asking me, is but if you lead with love as being this you know, the step mom, that's really all you can do. And no matter what the drama is or what what things arise, if you lead with love and you you know, you treat your stepkids the same way you treat yours, then you know it's all good. It's crazy the girls have the same birthday. What yes, what's his other daughter's? Are you allowed to say? Winter, I am deceased. You are not telling me the truth, right, I swear to God. But that, for for me personally, had nothing to do with why I named her Summer. I was a huge fan of the O C and Rachel Bilson since high school, so I've had the name Summer since I was sixteen years old. I feel like you told me that. I feel like I've heard it before, but that is pretty amazing. So then when I find out he had a daughter named Winter, he was like, oh my god, He's like, I love Summer because then it's like, you know, an ode to her older sister, and it's like naming her after her. And then just ironically they have the same birthday, which is insane, like five hours into the ap so you know that's some kind of sign that it was all meant to be.

Enjoy what other juicy nuggets can you give us from the season? I know the rules where you can't tell me too much, but I got here a little bit. Let's just say Brock is at the center of more drama and storyline than even myself for some of the other people who have been on the show for a long time. He is just like in it. And when he is in it, do you step in or do you let him just figure it out for himself? A little bit of both. Like he can more than hold his own, and I mean he is my like number one supporter, but like he wants me to handle my own too. He's like, well, you should have set up for yourself, you should have spoke up, And I'm like, I know, but I forgot like those points, like can you just say them for me? And he's like, I mean I can, but you need to speak up for yourself. And I'm like, okay, I'll do better. And I'm just like, oh, like, I haven't had to be confrontational for two years. I haven't had to really, you know, like address certain issues. It's like, you know, the one thing I do love about being on reality television is it forces you to be accountable. Things that normally you would sweep under the rug, that you would just not bring up, and you just like, it's not that big of a deal. You don't have that option. You know, you have to face all of those things. And that's a big thing with him. This first season is a lot of the stuff with his past and his kids and his ex like all gets brought up and being no choice but to just guts all of that. But a for all, it was very like cathartic for him, and you'll see so much of that. But let me just say that a couple of the main girls had their very strong opinions on his past. Oh so it's mainly the women. Oh yeah, is it somebody that you have feuded within the the past, I feel like other than like Ariana and Kal, It's like I've kind of feuded with everyone, so, you know, but that's the beauty of our group is that we always find our way back to each other. And that's the thing that I just I love about this group. We say, you know, it's not really black and white and our friendships there's a lot of gray area, but that's what helps you grow as a person, as a friend and individual. And yeah, it'll it'll be good. And how has it been feeling without Stasie and Brittany And I mean, because I know, I just saw you guys all got together for a play date. I know that Devin Hartford have had a play date, but I just saw of you guys, And does it feel did it feel like nothing's changed? It make you, you know, miss filming with them? Or it definitely felt different, like their presence was definitely missed, you know. I mean, they're a huge part of the show for so long, so it was very different. But at the same time, I'm in such a different place in my life now having Brock, you know, his first season on the main character with his own storyline, Like for me, that just took up so much time that I was just trying to focus on that and our relationship and our life together. So for us, like, it was a really really good summer and I'm excited, nervous, but excited to see it all back. Yeah, what is uh? What's he is he nervous about or anything? Or he's just like, we'll see whatever happens happens. A little bit of both. I think he doesn't really know what he's in for yet. He's never watched the show. He's seen bits and pieces here and there, like when they have like a marathon on or like with his ex girlfriend, Like he saw a little bit of it, but never really knew the show or who I was or anyone. So it'll be different for him, but it'll be exciting. I think it's gonna be really good. I remember I hadn't watched over Now. I watched like all the different Bravo shows, but before I had never watched Beverly Hills, and my first season it was watching the Confessionals. That's when I was like, what And then you have to relive it and get a full new angry over something else that you never even thought. So for me, that was the hardest part because like, yes, the inscene stuff like where you're in the moment that can hurt your feelings, but you're they're processing it. But when it's completely different than what you've been told, that's where I was like, uh, which is why I tried to always say things to people's faces, which actually got me in trouble too. But either way, you it's a lose lose situation sometimes for sure. Okay, hey everybody, Scott Patterson, we are going to have my lo vent Amelia on the podcast today and we are dropping the episode immediately. We're very excited to have him. He's a he's an old, dear friend and uh, he gave us. He gave us some time, which is he doesn't have any time, but he gave us some time, and we really, really really appreciate it. So we're gonna do this interview with Milo, uh and we're going to drop it immediately as soon as we can get it all cobbled together. This crack team I have and we're just very very excited about it. So anyway, listen to my podcast I Am All In right now on I Heart Radio, app, Apple podcast and everywhere you listen to podcasts. All right, now we have to get to some listener questions. So I did a poll yesterday, so I'll be a little rapid fire. Um. I already asked one of them, Um, how did you know Brock was the one? I have never felt more myself with anyone in my entire life, Like I'm so authentically fully myself and I just there's there's nothing that like I'm embarrassed to do in front of him, Like We're just so openly comfortable with each other and I've never felt that way before. And he didn't like give up on me, like I pushed him away for a solid month. I was just like I want to be single. I want to be single, and he was just very persistent in the most loving way. And I've never felt so wanted in my life. Ah. That's so sweet, which leads me to the next question. When is the big day? We're hoping for November two. We want to get married in Bali, that's where we fell in love, and until travel restrictions let up, his family is able to even leave Australia. We're hoping that November next year, when it's summer, there will be a safe time and will summer. Be a flower girl, absolutely, and like she needs to be walking, Like, well, we'll give it a little over a year. And um, are you going to put her in a crop top dresser? Now? I haven't decided yet. Very good question and very likely could be. Are you gonna do multiple outfit changes or are you like a one wedding dress. I think just one, yeah, unless there's like a part of the dress that maybe like comes off like an attachment, like maybe there's like a longer train or something, and then it like shortened for the reception. But I'm not going to be like changing into another dress. I don't think. I haven't even thought about it yet. It's like, I guess when I do your second wedding too, I'm like, I've put so much thought into like my first one, then now I'm just like whatever, Like him and I are both divorced. So my first wedding, like there was two fifty people there. My second wedding, it was my immediate family and like, yeah, same three my first one. So I'm like, we're not doing that again. But Bali is incredible. I actually went there on my honeymoon in my first wedding, so I love that I do love Bali. So what do you guys know where is? Or you can't on me? Um. So we were looking at a couple of different venues. We want to do one that's like an airbnb where our immediate family can stay, but it can still host an event. So we need to like fine time sometime next year when we can go out there and like scout them in person. There's this one place called the Noku Beach House that I saw on a Netflix show and I'm like, oh my god, this looks I think I saw that place too. Is it like the Greatest Vacations or whatever? Yes, it's amazing. Yeah, He's like, we can do better. I'm like, I don't know, and then he showed me better and I'm like, okay, we need to just go out there. But everything can look better on Instagram, but like if you see a real video of it, that's that's actually anything can look good in a picture. That's what I said. So I'm like, I think we're gonna go out there with my sister and her boyfriend whenever it's you know, safe to travel next year and do a quick little trip look at some ben us, and then we'll set a date because I just have a rough timeline. I'm like, if it happens, you know, end of October to early February, like sometime while it's the summer season. Yeah, well that's so exciting. Um. The other questions are a lot about summer. We've already mentioned that your mom's helped you, but a lot of people want to know do you have a nanny in addition or is it always your mom? No, so we call her Nana, So she's the nanny. So, so what happens if you're in San Diego versus l A. So she comes with us down to San Diego sometimes. If she doesn't, then Rock or myself or just home with her. If I vacuupuncture, if he's home with her, he goes to the gym, I'm home with her. We're pretty much only in San Diego on the weekends, so it's usually pretty quick turnaround trips. And um, half the time my mom comes, half the time we just go down there, just the two of us. Yeah, pretty perfect. And if you were not on vander Pump Rules, what do you think you would have done? I still want to do entertainment news hosting, like a entertainment Tonight daily pop like a news back in the day. Like, that's my dream job. Give me a teleprompter and a microphone. I will crush it. That is my first true love. I got my degree in broadcast journalism, So I really do want to host any kind of show. Entertainment news would be my first choice. Yeah, pop culture, it's a dream, Yeah, absolutely, But if I could host like a travel show or even like a live talent sort of show, a game show, like I just really want to get back into hosting. I haven't done that in so long, and that's like what I really love to do. I love that, And now that you put it out there, it means that it's going to happen. That That's that's the way I've been kind of going through this year, like, yeah, you just keep putting out there, it's gonna happen. Alright. Who are you closest with You can't say brock out of all of your co stars. Tommin Ariana for sure. They have been my ride or die from day one, and I was literally just with them at the pool. Oh they're here too. I love that. Yeah, And James and Michael, I'm super close with them as well. So yeah, I mean I'm I'm close with most of the cats, but like Tom and Ariana, they are your people, my people. Yes, And if you could have one person come back, who would it be? Only one? Yeah? Only one? Sorry, Okay, If it's only one, then I would have to say Kristen, because you can't pick one out of a couple, so I would I would bring back Kristen. Yeah, all right, and then now you're our final question is if you had to pick one of you still watch housewives, right, yeah, So if you could be on any one of the franchises, which one would it be? And why I would want to go to Jersey there, Like I want to just move in with Dolores and have her be like my step mom and I just I'm obsessed with her. So I would love to be a part of the Jersey franchise. I don't think I would fit in, but I would just love it. I love her too, and she is somebody who when I no longer be with you know, when that all happened, Dolores was one of the first people to call me, and like, I only met her a couple of times, but she just was like, you know, I know it can be hard and it's such a big transition and you take things like but she was just so kind. It's like it really made me love her. Um, but yeah, she's she's really great. And then I've got to ask one more other than Rock being the center of a lot of the drama, can you give us any more teases? Like I need one final tease. I think we should do a drinking game every time I cry because my hormone were so out of whack after baby, Like, if there's one episode that I don't shed it here, I will be shocked. And it wasn't even always like sad here. It was like I would just be like talking about summer or something and just like everything made me cry, like embarrassing. And I have no botox this season because I'm still breasteating, so you see you can see movement. Yeah, well I feel like I cry a lot and I had no excuse. So, you know, thank you so much for for joining me. And I know we both have you know, I heart and all the things, but I appreciate it and I hope to see you soon and that we can thank you get the girls together alrighty bye hne by, Well, thanks guys for joining this week's Teddy Tea Pod with myself and Sheina.

I know it's been so long since I've seen you. Like, there's so many people who haven't met Brock, haven't met Summer. It's just like a pandemic, a whole baby. It's crazy. It is crazy. I met Brock for just a second when we were at Bravo Con but it was was it like new that it was kind of new then? Right, oh my god, so new. We were dating I think seven weeks maybe at that point, Like it was so new. Well, he how did you guys meet? We were in San Diego Music Festival weekend, ended up at the same after party. They were like twelve people. There was a really small, little exclusive thing and I heard the accent and then I was like, oh my god, I was just in Australia and New Zealand a few months ago. Started showing him some pictures, didn't ask for my number anything. Then the next day he asked his friend. He was like, wait, who was that girl? I was talking to slit in my d MS. Was so lucky that I checked that. I say, you opened the point ninety nine like the plus ninety nine. I never do. I'm one of my girlfriends was like, oh, the club we went to last night posted a cute video of us check your d m s and then I see this TM and I was like, who's this? And I opened it up and he asked me if I wanted to go to a Rams game next time. I was in Next time, Key was in l A. And I was like, I love that you led with football. I'm actually a Charger fan. I know you're a Rams fan. Well, I was like, come on, you guys have to come with us now. A new stadium is incredible, ridiculous. I know we're leaving. Life is beautiful early because there's the home Chargers game on Sunday. I love that. So you're in Vegas right now? What are you guys up to? So we were at circa earlier. We went to the new stadium swim which is so dope. Oh my god. It's like the coolest pool with literally the biggest screen you've ever seen. It's so nice. So we were there. We're staying at the d Downtown. We got life is beautiful tonight, my heart tomorrow and then life is beautiful. Then back to l A for the Chargers game. You know what it's. I'm coming straight from Miami myself and I am on the struggle bus. Like we're sitting here, there's like Splitzer's next to me. I'm like, should I indulge now or wait until after I present cheap trick because I've got to, like at least be able to read a teleprompter. I'm like, I'm like, I could fudge you with Sheena. Like we've been in a lot of situations together where we've atched oh my god, super Bowl, super Bowl. I don't even remember us flying home. I just remember the videos. I had my little Breatha lizer thing and we're like, let's see who can blow a higher number. Champagne, Champagne. The problem is is I was already a mom then you weren't. So what is my excuse? I'm a mom. Now we're going to build a breatha lizer. Later, you know, I'll probably have to dump my milk tonight. So summer here with you guys, or yeah, do you want to see her? Yes? Okay, Mom, can you bring her? Oh? How can I love that your mom is here? This is amazing. It's a family affair. So how many months old is she? She's four and a half four and a half months And I heard you had like some some sort of medical condition after you gave birth. Their everything's good or what what happened? Everything is good? Now? Yeah, here's my little angel super Hi. Oh my she almost time. Hi? Is that the vill you're gonna have to meet baby daf Yes you are, Yes, you are. She is so delicious almost makes me want to have another And then nope, no bye. Is that exactly how you looked as a baby? Exactly? They have a side by side of my dad holding me and my dad holding her. And if my dad, I mean he's aged the slightest. That's the only difference you can tell on the photo. It's like, oh, okay, so that's she not on that summer. I mean she has like the like her skin, like everything. She's just so flawless, like I can't even take And what about the fact that all of you vander Pump Rules girls had babies at the same time, I know, so crazy. So yeah, you were asking me, so I'm preclamsia right, Um, when I was already like induced and like in labor, they diagnosed me with pre clamsia, and then after I had her that advance to help syndrome. So what exactly is that it's extremely rare to get. It's even more rare postcard um. It's like the second highest fatality and pregnant women. It's the destruction of your red blood cells, which elevates your liver enzymes and lowers your blood plate lists. Your body is just not okay and it literally needs help. And then how did they fix it? So I was on blood pressure medication. I got put on a magnesium drip for twenty four hours that made me extremely flew like, like I thought they were exaggerating, and they're like, Okay, we're gonna start you on the magnesium drip. You're gonna feel very flu like I'm like yeah, whatever, Like I got there. Oh no, it was no joke. I was like shivering uncontrollably. I felt like I was having seizures, Like it was the scariest thing ever. And then when she came out, she was just like super lethargic because all of the stuff they're pumping me obviously affected her. So then her heart rate was low. She had a bit of a murmur that we think is cleared up now, but that she had to have the cardiologists come in have an e KG at two days old. It was just like it was a lot. I was on blood passion medication for about two months after that, and then everything started to go back on its own. I had to do blood work every week, and once that regulated, I'm like totally fine and back to normal now. But I'm at high risk for that to happen again if I were to get pregnant again, and I'm already high risk because of my age. So we might we might go with surrogate. We might a dog. We might take our chances. We might just be happy with one. Yeah, I I mean I had a similar situation happened with Cruise, where you know, we're I was having trouble after I had the potos and I end up having him. His heart rate like was not good. They immediately had to put him in the nick you and then I was just so sick that they, you know, put me on all this medication. So then I like, just I couldn't I couldn't even really fathom what was going on. But here, I mean it was heartbreaking and really sat you know, having to take your child to the e k G and do all those things and still to this day he has aortic by cusband valve. But when it comes to childbirth, it's like you almost forget all the negative. Like it's it's like it goes away, like going into having dev five years later or six years later, however long it was. It was like I forgot all the scary memories because I was so excited to have another baby. So whatever it is that you do decide, those memories do subside until you're like in there and then all of a sudden you're like they say something different. You're like, oh, this has changed since the last time. But I mean, you were blessed with such a beautiful baby. Girl about it is? You know, it's a lot too, it's a lot to go through, especially and did you suffer from any like postpartum anxiety or depression or you felt good? We were right back into filming three days after I got home from my five day hospital stay. That I was like, I didn't even have time to process like everything. It was just like back to work after two years of being off like boom so quickly. What was the difference, Like how did you do it? I thankfully had an amazing supportive partner who was the most hands on dad, my mom around full time to help us, and once we wrapped, then I was like, Okay, now it's like everything settling in and now I'm like a full time like home with her all the time. But it was just like, you know, I had to be here for this event, here for this, and it was just like so much going on. I was like struggling with just like my body image. But it's slowly all gotten better, getting back to just feeling like myself again. And thankfully, I think most of the anxiety I had was leading up to having her because I had the miscarriage, so then I was just terrified of anything happening to her. But it's like, if it's not a miscarriage, it's a stillborn. If it's not as stillborn, it's SIDS. If it's not SIDS, it's we're getting kidnapped. Like there's just always going to be something of the parent that you worry about. And I think that just comes with being a parent. Yeah, I think that no matter what, you never want to see your child struggling or in pain or you know, any of those types of things. But what I kind of always had to remind myself is like I can't but I can't keep them in a bubble forever. Like I have let them learn from their mistakes the same way that I do. But it's so hard as a parent because like now that and you'll see the same with Summer now that Slate is like getting older and getting more mature and all these things. Like I see her doing things because her personality type is so much like mine, and I want to be like, no, don't do that. You're gonna regret that, And then she's like get off of you know. Like so it's it's beauty of having a daughter. But it's also I realized that I don't do it with with crews. I do it more with you know, with the girls. So I'm like, okay, I have to, like because you see yourself in them and you really just want to protect them. But I've noticed the same thing, um, you know, with my husband and son, and then you have you have two stepkids as well, right, Yeah, they're in Australia, so I haven't even been able to meet them yet because we haven't been able to travel. And that's the whole thing that you'll see play out next season with where the situation lies with his act and the kids. It's it's a lot so one one day. And I mean I have a stepdaughter as well, and I would just say the biggest thing is, no matter, no matter what not that you're even asking me, is but if you lead with love as being this you know, the step mom, that's really all you can do. And no matter what the drama is or what what things arise, if you lead with love and you you know, you treat your stepkids the same way you treat yours, then you know it's all good. It's crazy the girls have the same birthday. What yes, what's his other daughter's? Are you allowed to say? Winter, I am deceased. You are not telling me the truth, right, I swear to God. But that, for for me personally, had nothing to do with why I named her Summer. I was a huge fan of the O C and Rachel Bilson since high school, so I've had the name Summer since I was sixteen years old. I feel like you told me that. I feel like I've heard it before, but that is pretty amazing. So then when I find out he had a daughter named Winter, he was like, oh my god, He's like, I love Summer because then it's like, you know, an ode to her older sister, and it's like naming her after her. And then just ironically they have the same birthday, which is insane, like five hours into the ap so you know that's some kind of sign that it was all meant to be.

Enjoy what other juicy nuggets can you give us from the season? I know the rules where you can't tell me too much, but I got here a little bit. Let's just say Brock is at the center of more drama and storyline than even myself for some of the other people who have been on the show for a long time. He is just like in it. And when he is in it, do you step in or do you let him just figure it out for himself? A little bit of both. Like he can more than hold his own, and I mean he is my like number one supporter, but like he wants me to handle my own too. He's like, well, you should have set up for yourself, you should have spoke up, And I'm like, I know, but I forgot like those points, like can you just say them for me? And he's like, I mean I can, but you need to speak up for yourself. And I'm like, okay, I'll do better. And I'm just like, oh, like, I haven't had to be confrontational for two years. I haven't had to really, you know, like address certain issues. It's like, you know, the one thing I do love about being on reality television is it forces you to be accountable. Things that normally you would sweep under the rug, that you would just not bring up, and you just like, it's not that big of a deal. You don't have that option. You know, you have to face all of those things. And that's a big thing with him. This first season is a lot of the stuff with his past and his kids and his ex like all gets brought up and being no choice but to just guts all of that. But a for all, it was very like cathartic for him, and you'll see so much of that. But let me just say that a couple of the main girls had their very strong opinions on his past. Oh so it's mainly the women. Oh yeah, is it somebody that you have feuded within the the past, I feel like other than like Ariana and Kal, It's like I've kind of feuded with everyone, so, you know, but that's the beauty of our group is that we always find our way back to each other. And that's the thing that I just I love about this group. We say, you know, it's not really black and white and our friendships there's a lot of gray area, but that's what helps you grow as a person, as a friend and individual. And yeah, it'll it'll be good. And how has it been feeling without Stasie and Brittany And I mean, because I know, I just saw you guys all got together for a play date. I know that Devin Hartford have had a play date, but I just saw of you guys, And does it feel did it feel like nothing's changed? It make you, you know, miss filming with them? Or it definitely felt different, like their presence was definitely missed, you know. I mean, they're a huge part of the show for so long, so it was very different. But at the same time, I'm in such a different place in my life now having Brock, you know, his first season on the main character with his own storyline, Like for me, that just took up so much time that I was just trying to focus on that and our relationship and our life together. So for us, like, it was a really really good summer and I'm excited, nervous, but excited to see it all back. Yeah, what is uh? What's he is he nervous about or anything? Or he's just like, we'll see whatever happens happens. A little bit of both. I think he doesn't really know what he's in for yet. He's never watched the show. He's seen bits and pieces here and there, like when they have like a marathon on or like with his ex girlfriend, Like he saw a little bit of it, but never really knew the show or who I was or anyone. So it'll be different for him, but it'll be exciting. I think it's gonna be really good. I remember I hadn't watched over Now. I watched like all the different Bravo shows, but before I had never watched Beverly Hills, and my first season it was watching the Confessionals. That's when I was like, what And then you have to relive it and get a full new angry over something else that you never even thought. So for me, that was the hardest part because like, yes, the inscene stuff like where you're in the moment that can hurt your feelings, but you're they're processing it. But when it's completely different than what you've been told, that's where I was like, uh, which is why I tried to always say things to people's faces, which actually got me in trouble too. But either way, you it's a lose lose situation sometimes for sure. Okay, hey everybody, Scott Patterson, we are going to have my lo vent Amelia on the podcast today and we are dropping the episode immediately. We're very excited to have him. He's a he's an old, dear friend and uh, he gave us. He gave us some time, which is he doesn't have any time, but he gave us some time, and we really, really really appreciate it. So we're gonna do this interview with Milo, uh and we're going to drop it immediately as soon as we can get it all cobbled together. This crack team I have and we're just very very excited about it. So anyway, listen to my podcast I Am All In right now on I Heart Radio, app, Apple podcast and everywhere you listen to podcasts. All right, now we have to get to some listener questions. So I did a poll yesterday, so I'll be a little rapid fire. Um. I already asked one of them, Um, how did you know Brock was the one? I have never felt more myself with anyone in my entire life, Like I'm so authentically fully myself and I just there's there's nothing that like I'm embarrassed to do in front of him, Like We're just so openly comfortable with each other and I've never felt that way before. And he didn't like give up on me, like I pushed him away for a solid month. I was just like I want to be single. I want to be single, and he was just very persistent in the most loving way. And I've never felt so wanted in my life. Ah. That's so sweet, which leads me to the next question. When is the big day? We're hoping for November two. We want to get married in Bali, that's where we fell in love, and until travel restrictions let up, his family is able to even leave Australia. We're hoping that November next year, when it's summer, there will be a safe time and will summer. Be a flower girl, absolutely, and like she needs to be walking, Like, well, we'll give it a little over a year. And um, are you going to put her in a crop top dresser? Now? I haven't decided yet. Very good question and very likely could be. Are you gonna do multiple outfit changes or are you like a one wedding dress. I think just one, yeah, unless there's like a part of the dress that maybe like comes off like an attachment, like maybe there's like a longer train or something, and then it like shortened for the reception. But I'm not going to be like changing into another dress. I don't think. I haven't even thought about it yet. It's like, I guess when I do your second wedding too, I'm like, I've put so much thought into like my first one, then now I'm just like whatever, Like him and I are both divorced. So my first wedding, like there was two fifty people there. My second wedding, it was my immediate family and like, yeah, same three my first one. So I'm like, we're not doing that again. But Bali is incredible. I actually went there on my honeymoon in my first wedding, so I love that I do love Bali. So what do you guys know where is? Or you can't on me? Um. So we were looking at a couple of different venues. We want to do one that's like an airbnb where our immediate family can stay, but it can still host an event. So we need to like fine time sometime next year when we can go out there and like scout them in person. There's this one place called the Noku Beach House that I saw on a Netflix show and I'm like, oh my god, this looks I think I saw that place too. Is it like the Greatest Vacations or whatever? Yes, it's amazing. Yeah, He's like, we can do better. I'm like, I don't know, and then he showed me better and I'm like, okay, we need to just go out there. But everything can look better on Instagram, but like if you see a real video of it, that's that's actually anything can look good in a picture. That's what I said. So I'm like, I think we're gonna go out there with my sister and her boyfriend whenever it's you know, safe to travel next year and do a quick little trip look at some ben us, and then we'll set a date because I just have a rough timeline. I'm like, if it happens, you know, end of October to early February, like sometime while it's the summer season. Yeah, well that's so exciting. Um. The other questions are a lot about summer. We've already mentioned that your mom's helped you, but a lot of people want to know do you have a nanny in addition or is it always your mom? No, so we call her Nana, So she's the nanny. So, so what happens if you're in San Diego versus l A. So she comes with us down to San Diego sometimes. If she doesn't, then Rock or myself or just home with her. If I vacuupuncture, if he's home with her, he goes to the gym, I'm home with her. We're pretty much only in San Diego on the weekends, so it's usually pretty quick turnaround trips. And um, half the time my mom comes, half the time we just go down there, just the two of us. Yeah, pretty perfect. And if you were not on vander Pump Rules, what do you think you would have done? I still want to do entertainment news hosting, like a entertainment Tonight daily pop like a news back in the day. Like, that's my dream job. Give me a teleprompter and a microphone. I will crush it. That is my first true love. I got my degree in broadcast journalism, So I really do want to host any kind of show. Entertainment news would be my first choice. Yeah, pop culture, it's a dream, Yeah, absolutely, But if I could host like a travel show or even like a live talent sort of show, a game show, like I just really want to get back into hosting. I haven't done that in so long, and that's like what I really love to do. I love that, And now that you put it out there, it means that it's going to happen. That That's that's the way I've been kind of going through this year, like, yeah, you just keep putting out there, it's gonna happen. Alright. Who are you closest with You can't say brock out of all of your co stars. Tommin Ariana for sure. They have been my ride or die from day one, and I was literally just with them at the pool. Oh they're here too. I love that. Yeah, And James and Michael, I'm super close with them as well. So yeah, I mean I'm I'm close with most of the cats, but like Tom and Ariana, they are your people, my people. Yes, And if you could have one person come back, who would it be? Only one? Yeah? Only one? Sorry, Okay, If it's only one, then I would have to say Kristen, because you can't pick one out of a couple, so I would I would bring back Kristen. Yeah, all right, and then now you're our final question is if you had to pick one of you still watch housewives, right, yeah, So if you could be on any one of the franchises, which one would it be? And why I would want to go to Jersey there, Like I want to just move in with Dolores and have her be like my step mom and I just I'm obsessed with her. So I would love to be a part of the Jersey franchise. I don't think I would fit in, but I would just love it. I love her too, and she is somebody who when I no longer be with you know, when that all happened, Dolores was one of the first people to call me, and like, I only met her a couple of times, but she just was like, you know, I know it can be hard and it's such a big transition and you take things like but she was just so kind. It's like it really made me love her. Um, but yeah, she's she's really great. And then I've got to ask one more other than Rock being the center of a lot of the drama, can you give us any more teases? Like I need one final tease. I think we should do a drinking game every time I cry because my hormone were so out of whack after baby, Like, if there's one episode that I don't shed it here, I will be shocked. And it wasn't even always like sad here. It was like I would just be like talking about summer or something and just like everything made me cry, like embarrassing. And I have no botox this season because I'm still breasteating, so you see you can see movement. Yeah, well I feel like I cry a lot and I had no excuse. So, you know, thank you so much for for joining me.
