LLC. Okay,

4:36

Taylor, let's talk about

4:38

how this moment came to be.

4:41

We ran into each other at

4:43

the Page Six party. Yes,

4:45

we did. Pillow. Pillow

4:47

is evidence. The pillow is evidence. You

4:49

have the exact same pillow. Are we

4:51

the only two, like, freeloaders that took

4:53

home the fucking pillow? Actually, they were

4:55

shoving the pillow down your throat. People,

4:57

that was off. No, they were really

4:59

shoving the hats down everyone's throat. Correct,

5:02

correct. then I had what I have

5:04

right now because it's the only hairstyle

5:06

I know how to do, which is

5:08

my hair in a clip or in

5:10

a bun. That's cute. But I was

5:12

like, I'm not going to put this

5:14

hat over my bun. Correct. And

5:16

so I was like, the pillow, but I

5:18

think you and I are the only ones

5:20

who, A, stole the pillow and B, show

5:22

it off. Yes, in my studio too. I

5:25

actually, it was in my shot today and

5:27

I was like, I love Page Six, love,

5:29

but like, I don't think they need to

5:31

be like in every single shot, every single

5:33

day for the show. No, no. And I've

5:35

shown off that pillow multiple times and I've

5:37

had it for not even a week. Not

5:39

even a week. Not even a week. It's

5:41

like, okay, we can move on. I was

5:43

in line to get a drink and

5:45

your wife was like, hi, are you

5:47

Sophia? Like, I'm Taylor. Yep. I'm here

5:49

with Taylor Strecker. I'm her wife. Did

5:51

she say my full name? I don't

5:54

know. I bet she did. I bet

5:56

she did. That I could be messing

5:58

up. I don't remember. No, she's very... Corporate

6:00

America. Well, she did, she was

6:02

like, manager vibes. And

6:04

then that was slipped into the con

6:06

bone. She was like, I'm also

6:08

her manager. And I was like, wait,

6:10

that is, can you tell me,

6:13

and I'm sure you've told the story a million

6:15

thousand times. I love to repeat stories. It's my

6:17

favorite thing in the world. Love,

6:19

same. And I also like to

6:21

hear people repeat the same stories to

6:23

me. Because I've been like accosted

6:25

for Repetitive Rita, it's my nickname. Really?

6:29

Really. But then my wife and I also

6:31

call each other Rita. Okay. And they're not

6:33

connected. Not connected. Because you said one with

6:35

an accent. Yeah. You said one with a

6:37

little shrug. Rita is what we call each

6:39

other, R -E -E -E -E -T -A. Okay, it. then

6:41

Repetitive Rita. I believe it's with an R

6:43

-I -T -A. Okay. So you're not endorsing the

6:45

people that call you that when you and

6:47

Taylor call each other No, Rita is a term

6:49

of endearment. Rita, that's

6:52

like, the shape. You can hear it.

6:54

You can hear it. I can hear

6:56

the shape. No offense to Rita's, but

6:58

I'm not like dying to be Rita.

7:00

You know I mean? It's kind of like

7:02

diarrhea when I just said that. Oh,

7:04

I was, I've been thinking Margarita this whole

7:06

time. Now that is a cute name.

7:08

No, that I can, that I can bite

7:11

with maybe it's because I'm leaving for

7:13

Mexico tomorrow. I'm so jealous. Where? What part?

7:15

Okay, so we're staying. It's going to

7:17

be me, my mom and my brother. Okay.

7:19

I'm like actually think I've been, you

7:22

know what, I can just like tell it

7:24

how it is. I've been feeling depressed. Like the

7:26

last few weeks. It's the change of the

7:28

season. It's awful. Is that what

7:30

it is? 100%. 100%. Also, babe,

7:32

it gets dark at like fucking

7:34

330. That? It's not normal. It

7:36

ain't right. It's not at all.

7:38

I I know. Utah, it doesn't,

7:40

it's still, it's like 6 p .m.

7:42

It will start to get dark.

7:44

Really? Yes. Really? Yes. I don't

7:46

believe it. No, I swear to

7:49

God. When I'm there, Taylor, I'm

7:51

going to timestamp, send you a

7:53

video. Send you a video. Yes.

7:55

But I thought it was because I miss

7:57

my family, but I think you're more on to

7:59

something with this seasonal depression. That's fair, that's fair,

8:01

that's fair. No, but it has to

8:03

be seasonal because I feel like all

8:05

my friends are kind of feeling this

8:07

way. Seasonal depression. My mom's from Florida.

8:09

Don't judge my mom, she's from Florida.

8:11

She's from Florida before Florida was Florida.

8:13

I just said, I'm from Utah. So

8:15

it's a vibe. I mean Salt Lake

8:17

City, the housewives, it really, what good

8:19

branding for Utah? I will say. Yes,

8:21

but also when I hear Utah and

8:23

when I hear Florida, when I hear

8:25

Florida, I'm like, oh, Utah, who the

8:28

fuck lives there and who came from

8:30

that place. Florida is like Florida. I

8:32

mean, yeah, but. She is like, like,

8:34

she's been in Massachusetts since college now,

8:36

and she's like, I'm, like, in the

8:38

winter, she's like, I can't, I have

8:40

to, like, move to Florida, and she's

8:42

like a snowbird. And has it helped

8:44

her? No, she hasn't done it yet.

8:46

Oh, okay, okay, but she'll probably never

8:48

will. She'll just be seasonally depressed forever.

8:50

But the ideas there. The ideas there.

8:52

Also my mom the exact same shit

8:54

happens to her even though the sun

8:56

sets later But like my mom this

8:58

second it starts to get cold she

9:00

goes into it's like it's a

9:03

thing. It's a thing. It's a

9:05

real real thing You're going to

9:07

Mexico tomorrow. I'm so jealous. Oh my

9:09

god. I need a tan. Okay. So I'm

9:11

gonna take This is gonna sound

9:13

really obnoxious, but I want to

9:15

ask you about it. Okay. And

9:17

then we'll get back to page

9:19

six whatever I'm going to take a

9:21

blade to the airport. Okay. Oh, like

9:23

the helicopter? Oh, I support this. Just

9:25

so you know, I was a rich

9:27

person when I was married to my

9:29

husband. So I love boosy shit. I

9:31

got this for free. Oh my God, you

9:33

and Bryn from the Real Housewives

9:35

of New York City. That bitch

9:38

wears a blade hat in every

9:40

episode of the... But it's unreal.

9:42

But not even in an influencer

9:44

way, just because I have this

9:46

credit card. And that was one

9:48

of the perch one the bill

9:50

no way yes up on core

9:52

yes on core this forgot that

9:54

you oh my god that your

9:56

friends with them yes I forgot

9:58

I forgot I forgot Alcore Erica we

10:00

love we stand we have yet to get

10:02

a built card I don't know what's wrong

10:05

with us like all of our friends are

10:07

part of this company we just keep forgetting

10:09

and keep paying our rent without a credit

10:11

card stupid so yeah you know what I'm

10:13

gonna sign you up and I don't even

10:16

get anything from it actually if we do

10:18

say I referred you I think I get

10:20

like more points like maybe another blade play

10:22

I don't know but I had the worst

10:25

credit And I remember telling on court because

10:27

he was like, you know, sign up

10:29

for the card and I was like,

10:31

I won't qualify. No, how bad is

10:33

your credit? My credit score was like, is

10:35

400, that's bad. That's real bad. It's real

10:37

bad. Like I have to leave. No, it

10:39

was like, it might rub off my credit.

10:41

My credit might drop just by being here.

10:44

I have to go. Like if it starts

10:46

with a fourth like that's bad. I think

10:48

so. He said he said he would help

10:50

you would help me out. And you know,

10:52

it was a very small loan, like I

10:54

can only pay my rent. It's not like

10:56

I got 15 pays. Oh, you have like

10:59

a low limit. Yes, because of your... But

11:01

the limit has risen. Ooh. It's got

11:03

now my credit score is like this

11:05

why we're in a new apartment bitch.

11:08

Yes, bitch. I'm dead. That's exactly why.

11:10

Oh my God. It's so fucking brilliant.

11:12

I'm obsessed with our apartment so I

11:14

don't want to leave but I'm just

11:17

like if the rent goes up which

11:19

I'm sure is going to happen at

11:21

any given point in time. How much

11:24

do you think? I'm scared. I'm scared

11:26

is going to go up by like 2K.

11:28

My last apartment went up 800 and I

11:30

lost my mind. Well, the thing is we

11:32

have a neighbor Next to us that was

11:35

like people in and out in and out

11:37

We like rent for my friend. So I

11:39

think we're like in a good space And

11:41

our rent's actually very fair for what we

11:44

get we are in Jersey City, but like

11:46

it's fucking dope right so anyway, but they

11:48

started to like raise the prices up around

11:50

us and this apartment like next to us

11:53

I'm just like, fuck, if that's the number

11:55

that they're going for, it just makes me

11:57

a little bit nervous, you know? But does

11:59

that also... everyone around you guys is like cool

12:02

with the rent going up. No one is ever

12:04

okay with the rent going up. I thought that's

12:06

what you're about to say like, oh my

12:08

neighbor has no issue paying for like the

12:10

rent. I don't know how they fucking do

12:12

it. I'm like I didn't know Daddy Warbox

12:15

moved next door to me. It's crazy. It's

12:17

insane and even just... raising the rent $800.

12:19

I think for people who don't live in

12:21

New York, that sounds insane. It's insane. They

12:23

think we're insane for paying our rents, period.

12:26

It's a mortgage on a house. It's disgusting.

12:28

I know, but have you looked into buying

12:30

a home and how fucking disgusting that should

12:32

is? That's the most disgusting. I think it's

12:35

a racket. I think if you own like

12:37

blessed, like like good for you, you're in.

12:39

Right. But like, do you know how much

12:41

fucking money you have to spend to spend

12:43

to spend to spend to fix your own

12:45

god- Like the H-O-8 but like there's

12:47

all these crazy weird fees that

12:49

are specific to Manha and like

12:51

the Grandfather something tax. I don't

12:54

even know sure Sounds right you

12:56

know a try back. I was

12:58

on the mortgage which again like

13:00

probably shouldn't have been because my

13:02

credit score at the time was

13:04

low. Okay, but I I like

13:07

went into the signing meeting with

13:09

my husband and I didn't know

13:11

what was happening. It was like my

13:13

dad like helping me buy a

13:15

car. I was like, huh? But

13:17

did you even ask questions or

13:19

were you just like, yep, all

13:21

signed? I signed away like, like,

13:23

Teresa Judy, Che. I was like,

13:25

well, sent me to prison. Like

13:27

Kate Blanchett and Blue Jasmine. And

13:29

all of her friends are like,

13:31

you just like, you just like

13:33

sign that stuff and she's like.

13:36

Not saying that was your situation

13:38

whatsoever, but it could have been,

13:40

but it wasn't. Thank God. Thank

13:42

God. But my pride, I couldn't walk

13:44

into a thing at like a house

13:46

signing and ask a question. No, it's

13:48

so intimidating. I can barely like talk

13:50

to people at a boutique about an

13:53

expensive dress. So I don't think I'm

13:55

gonna be good. Oh, we just recently

13:57

went to go look at a car.

13:59

Okay. not to brag, a

14:02

two-door cheap wrangler from

14:04

probably 2000 in, I don't

14:06

know, fucking 10, because my

14:08

little brothers, it's not nice,

14:10

no, no, no, no, no.

14:13

Oh, it's not like a

14:15

vintage, like cool thing. It's

14:17

not like refurbish, it's not

14:19

like refurbish, it's not like,

14:21

it's not like refurbish, it's

14:23

like a fucking jolopy, okay?

14:26

It's like rotting, it's like,

14:28

10K, easy. And the tickets weren't

14:30

even good. Okay, like the tickets would

14:32

have been 7k. Well, for two, okay. So,

14:35

so we just, so I said, I don't

14:37

know if a student, she said, you know

14:39

what, just get me a car. I

14:41

said, oh, fuck. So now I'm manipulated.

14:43

Like, that's way more expensive. That time's

14:45

time. I'm like, I was not

14:47

expecting that. Okay, continue. You know

14:49

what? It's about principle. And so

14:52

we started to look at cars. It was

14:54

like, I felt like I walked into

14:56

Wolf of Wall Street. Everybody was like

14:58

in the 80s. The woman, this like

15:00

woman had like shoulder pads, she was

15:03

like smoking a sick. Oh my God.

15:05

It was wild. Like they were so

15:07

like salesy, the guys. Right. And they

15:09

see two girls coming and they're like

15:11

idiot suckers. And did you guys fucking

15:14

drive off the law in the brand new

15:16

car that day? No. No. You're like, we're

15:18

not in a rush, which is their number

15:20

one nightmare. But the guy calls me every

15:22

day, like I'm like, do you want to

15:25

fuck or what? So you have not purchased

15:27

the car yet? I'm back to like,

15:29

it's never happening. It's, they're like $100,000. What?

15:31

They are car salesmen, which I didn't even

15:33

know that was like still a thing, but

15:36

I guess there are still shops where you

15:38

go in. Right. Who actually walks in and

15:40

signs and buys a car and drives a

15:43

car and drives away with it? An idiot.

15:45

Like that's insane. A moron. I love that

15:47

you said we're not in a rush. We're not

15:49

in a rush. He was like, but what kind

15:51

of colored car? I was like, get out of

15:53

here. He's like, what kind of car do you

15:56

drive? And then you're like, I don't have a

15:58

car and then it just goes down a rabbit

16:00

hole. selling points. Yeah, exactly. I'm

16:02

like every time we lock

16:04

our car and then open

16:06

it, the alarm goes off.

16:08

So that's where we are

16:10

with our car right now.

16:12

We really do need a

16:14

new car. So I grew

16:16

up only driving really old

16:19

jeeps. Okay, I grew up

16:21

with like used cars. My

16:23

parents never bought a new

16:25

car. Okay. They never leased.

16:27

I got an $800. Pathfinder

16:30

that was from God knows one

16:32

dead and it was literally $800.

16:34

My my second car was in

16:37

a $700 Toyota Tersell Pathfinder is

16:39

way cooler than my car. Okay,

16:41

but if we're if we're driving

16:44

cars that are under a thousand

16:46

dollars, you know that there are

16:49

major major issues. My major issue

16:51

was that there was a born-again

16:53

Christian bumper sticker on the back

16:56

and I could not get it

16:58

off. Amongst a bunch of other

17:00

bumper stickers that I was just rolling

17:02

up to high school parking my born-again

17:05

Christian Pathfinder. Probably kind of a vibe

17:07

in Utah, no? Well, I did go

17:09

to private Catholic school, so I don't

17:11

know if that like... I'm like, do

17:13

we, I'm also Catholic, do we love

17:15

born again Christians or are they like

17:18

our enemies? I don't know, but you

17:20

know, like the little fish, yes, sign,

17:22

yes. And then some of the other

17:24

bumper stickers said like crazy shit and

17:26

like I just really could not get

17:29

them off. I also could never see how

17:31

fast I was driving, like that light was

17:33

important meter barometer was broken. I think it

17:35

was working, but the light bulb was not.

17:37

So if it was dark out, I had

17:40

no idea how fast you're going. No clue.

17:42

If you got pulled over and they're like,

17:44

do you know how fast you're going? You're

17:46

like, I genuinely have no clue. I just

17:48

kind of just feel it out. Yeah, you

17:50

go with the flow of traffic. I kind

17:53

of just pay attention to the cars next

17:55

to me. That's kind of how I determine

17:57

how I determine how fast. Like how birds

17:59

fly. myself. You just like get into

18:02

the V with the rest of

18:04

the cards. What issues did you

18:06

have with your $700 car? I

18:08

drove not to brag a Volvo

18:10

station wagon. I crashed it on

18:12

my way to school. I told

18:14

my parents it was because I

18:16

was studying for my AP history

18:18

exam. That was a lie. I

18:20

was going through my fish album.

18:22

The one that like, like it

18:24

was like a six CD set.

18:26

Oh shit. Was it like the

18:28

book that flocks open? I was like,

18:30

I was in traffic, like the woman in

18:33

front of me was like crying in her

18:35

nose, just blinking and I was like, stop

18:37

and you're such a baby. Like girl, we were

18:39

going five miles per hour. Wait. The exact

18:41

same thing happened to me. I wasn't looking

18:43

for a fish album, but it was traffic.

18:46

I was trying to listen to some song.

18:48

Yeah. That. stage in your life like

18:50

this song is way more important than

18:52

what's happening on the road yeah you

18:54

know what I mean right but I

18:56

did hit the car in front of

18:58

me which then hit the car in

19:00

front of it and they were like

19:02

making all sorts of complaints that I

19:04

don't believe them to this day I

19:06

really I just don't like there's just

19:08

no way like your back really hurt

19:10

like I just like stop it Like, you

19:12

see me in my gorgeous vehicle. My

19:15

pinky hurts, but like, if I've been

19:17

able to, like, it will still kind

19:19

of hurt to this day, but like,

19:21

when it rains. When it rains, exactly.

19:24

I just, I mean, who's not

19:26

gonna milk it when they see that kind

19:28

of... precious automobile and they can see how

19:30

much they can milk it for. They're like,

19:33

this bitch doesn't even have insurance. So they

19:35

probably weren't making that shit up. So that's

19:37

why I got the tursale because I was

19:39

like, oh my god, this is so great.

19:42

I crashed the Volvo. We can get the

19:44

Jeep. I always wanted now. And they were

19:46

like. That's so cute, your insurance went up,

19:48

you get no car. And I was like,

19:50

that is unacceptable. I'm digging a boyfriend secretly.

19:52

How will I get to him in college?

19:54

So I got it from my friend for

19:56

$700. It was such a fucking piece of

19:58

shit. And it was stick. I had to learn how to

20:00

drive stick. That, I

20:02

commend, like that I tried to drive stick

20:04

for six months and it was so

20:06

hard. It is the most stressful, like going

20:08

up a hill. No, once you get

20:10

it, it's actually like, it makes you feel

20:12

like so powerful. But do you ever

20:14

really get it? I mean, I guess you

20:17

know. do, you eventually get it. And

20:19

then from there on after, I had stick

20:21

shifts like by choice for a while,

20:23

not anymore because they like don't exist. But

20:25

yeah, I learned how to drive stick

20:27

to get some dick. Literally. I

20:29

wish I had that bumper sticker. How long

20:31

did it take for you to learn how

20:33

to drive stick, though, for real? Because I

20:35

spent like a month or two and I

20:38

was like, here's what it is. It's like

20:40

immersion therapy. Like you throw the baby in

20:42

the water and that's how it learns how

20:44

to swim, essentially. So you have to drown

20:46

before you can like float. So you just,

20:48

you drive around and then you stall out

20:50

and people beep at you and you cry.

20:52

Wait, that's what I did for like two

20:54

months. And eventually it just, it's like muscle

20:56

memory. It's like, I can't describe it. It's

20:58

like a foot thing. It's like, know what

21:01

I'm saying. Yes. Like you have to

21:03

touch the whatever breaks and The clutch.

21:05

And you have to do it in

21:07

such a, Yeah. But once you got

21:09

it, girl, you got it. The

21:18

number one biggest fashion

21:20

no -no, in my opinion,

21:22

is the dreaded underwear

21:24

line. If my panty line

21:27

is ever visible, I as

21:29

well as the authorities need

21:31

to be notified immediately. Thankfully,

21:33

I don't have this problem

21:35

because I only wear skims.

21:37

And it's not like I

21:39

have to reach for a

21:41

G -string every time I get

21:43

dressed because skims fits everybody

21:45

boy short, which is I

21:47

think my favorite from the

21:49

collection. They offers

21:51

a full coverage

21:53

kind of situation and it

21:55

fits seamlessly under all of

21:58

my clothing. And also, Also,

22:44

Yeah, sure sure thing. you sold that car

22:46

yet? you sold that car to

22:48

Carvana. Oh, I at the were selling to that guy.

22:50

you were selling to that guy. to pay me

22:53

guy who wanted to pay

22:55

me in foreign currency, no interest

22:57

Yeah, no. months? gave me an offer in minutes, picked

22:59

gave me an offer in

23:01

minutes, picked it up and paid

23:03

me on the spot. It

23:05

was so convenient. Yeah? like that. None.

23:07

No hassle. convenient. is your car to Carvana

23:09

your car to Carvana and

23:11

swap hassle for convenience. Pick these

23:13

apply. to

24:12

drive. Ubers? Oh, the car, the self

24:14

-driving car, like Uber? So what do

24:16

do? I don't trust Uber either, but

24:18

I trust an Uber driver more than

24:20

I do a self -driving car. Computers malfunction.

24:22

Imagine getting in the back of a

24:24

car and the wheel is just driving

24:26

around and there's no one sitting there.

24:28

I would have to like put eye

24:30

shades on, I couldn't. So I'm gonna

24:32

take, and this is

24:34

gonna sound so obnoxious, but I

24:36

didn't fucking pay for it. Which

24:38

is my credit score is so

24:40

fucking good now. I'm taking a

24:43

blade helicopter from Manhattan to the airport.

24:45

I think it's brilliant, because the traffic can be such

24:47

a bitch and also expensive and this is free. Well,

24:50

this is free, but also I'm pretty

24:52

sure the flight, have you ever looked

24:54

into it? Have you ever flown blade?

24:56

I've never done blade before, ever, ever,

24:58

ever, but I have thought about it

25:00

for the Hamptons. Yes, but also I

25:02

think anyone listening to this is like, I'm

25:05

sorry, are you saying you're taking a

25:07

helicopter to the airport? It sounds absurd,

25:09

but the traffic here is so bad

25:11

and if you can, like it's gonna

25:13

take what, 10 minutes? It takes 20

25:15

minutes. That actually, I am crazy, it

25:17

takes that long. Like I feel like

25:20

it would take less time. I

25:22

think it's, I think from takeoff

25:24

to like getting you to curbside

25:26

of the terminal, it's 20 minutes.

25:28

Where does it drop you? I'm

25:31

about to find out. I can't wait to

25:33

hear everything. about to fucking find out,

25:35

but I'm so excited for some reason. I

25:37

thought like, you had done boarding.

25:39

No, I haven't. I came around before I.

25:41

Well, once you get the bill credit card

25:43

and then. You got it, then I'm gonna

25:45

do it. And then you get to like

25:47

elite status after you've been, and then you'll

25:49

do it and then you'll do it. And

25:51

I'm gonna report back, but it, yeah, it

25:53

can take up to fucking two hours to

25:55

get to the airport. If anyone was wondering.

25:57

Yeah, it's disgusting. Back to the page six

25:59

party. Yes. Your wife is incredible.

26:01

Amazing. I know. This is where

26:03

I want you to maybe do

26:05

a repeat read-up. Okay. How did

26:07

it go from wife to manager?

26:09

Yes. Or did it go manager?

26:11

Yeah. Or did it go manager?

26:13

Good question. Fair question. So we've

26:15

been together now for almost 10

26:17

years. Okay, which is crazy. Okay.

26:20

And we met through work, but

26:22

she was like my videographer, my

26:24

editor. Then she became my lesbian

26:26

lover. Yes, I remember that. Then

26:28

she became my girlfriend, my secret

26:30

lesbian lover. Okay. My girlfriend and

26:32

then six years later, my fiance,

26:34

I was scared, I was dragging

26:36

my feet. I was like, if

26:38

my friend was dating a guy

26:40

that acted the way I dated,

26:42

I would be like, dump him,

26:44

he's a piece of shit. Right.

26:46

Because I have a vagina, I

26:48

think like I can get away

26:50

with more. And then, I mean,

26:52

I wasn't so bad. I was

26:54

just like scared of like, I

26:56

think because I had been married

26:58

and divorced, I was like, and

27:00

also I'm like, and I'm gay

27:02

now? Like, I wasn't, I didn't

27:04

set and throw that one in

27:06

the mix. I didn't set out

27:08

to like, have to support myself.

27:10

I feel like this. this relationship

27:12

yes you're happy the rich guy

27:14

thing we would have we wouldn't

27:16

we didn't work out for us

27:18

no because and I think we

27:21

would both be depressed as but

27:23

unfortunately he had a penis yeah

27:25

and that was a deal breaker

27:27

for me I well now yes

27:29

now I absolutely see that I'm

27:31

I'm I'm getting real close yeah

27:33

I get it I honestly co-sign

27:35

I don't I don't want to

27:37

be like I don't know try

27:39

to like turn America's straight women

27:41

gay, but like I just feel

27:43

like every woman's a little gay

27:45

I mean I've talked about I

27:47

have hooked up with more women

27:49

than I have probably yes 100%

27:51

So why do you feel like

27:53

have you ever had like a

27:55

relationship with women? No, but I

27:57

100% could see it like I

27:59

can I never envisioned this. I

28:01

had no idea. I had any

28:03

inclination. I have never, I've never

28:05

kissed another girl. I mean, I

28:07

kissed my roommate in college for

28:09

Petipit, but that was not sexual.

28:11

That was survival. Okay. And it

28:13

was like, we were both like,

28:15

ew, kissing a girl. Like, our

28:17

guy friends were like, if you

28:19

want Petipit, you have to make

28:22

out. Peetipit like food. Yeah,

28:24

have you ever had Peetipit?

28:26

No, but it sounds really

28:28

good. It's the best thing

28:30

in the world. So I

28:32

mean, Peetipit's worth it. Like

28:34

McDonald's wouldn't have been worth

28:36

it. Peetipit's worth everything. All

28:38

my dignity. Okay. And then-

28:40

Did you guys meet out

28:42

for it? Were you guys

28:44

drunk? Yeah. Always. I mean,

28:46

it was college. Okay. That was

28:48

it. Never again. Right. And then.

28:51

I was in the middle of getting separated

28:53

and I met Te. We were working

28:55

together and I was like trying to

28:57

make new friends because I was like,

28:59

we're gonna get a divorce and I'm

29:01

gonna have no one because he like

29:03

grew up outside the city and like

29:05

he went to school in the city.

29:07

So it was like his world. And

29:09

like his world and like his world

29:12

became your world. Yeah. And like my

29:14

friends in college too like they ingratiated

29:16

like with him like, you know how

29:18

boys are what the fucking golfing. Dicks!

29:20

Oh and then they kind of like

29:22

stuck like yeah well I knew that

29:24

they wouldn't like drop me but they

29:26

were gonna like still have them so

29:28

I was like I mean make my

29:30

own crew yeah and so Taylor was

29:32

one of the people that I was

29:34

like great she's gonna be like my

29:36

new best friend right and then one

29:38

night we were out and I was

29:41

like wait I want to make out

29:43

with her and I should because I'm

29:45

lay divorced or separated or separated. Were you

29:47

like I met him in the Hamptons when

29:49

I would guess I was like 25-ish so

29:51

a baby baby we dated for a year

29:53

and a half got engaged for a year

29:56

and a half three years so 28-ish I

29:58

got married and then we got I guess

30:00

we were done by the time

30:02

I was 33 -ish, 32. Okay.

30:04

I think. Okay. I'm not great

30:06

at math. I mean, I couldn't

30:08

compute anything, but just the fact

30:10

that you met him at 25,

30:12

that is like you were a

30:14

baby. Child bride. Yeah. So

30:17

then when I met Tay, yeah. So it

30:19

was like right around then. And I was

30:21

like, I've never like really done

30:23

things I wanted to do. I just always like

30:25

waited for guys to want to date me and

30:27

then been like, oh, you wanna get married? Okay.

30:29

That sounds good to me. So I was like,

30:31

well, I'm just going to do what I want

30:33

to do. I love that. You're like, I'm going

30:35

to start doing things when I want to do

30:37

them. And like also like thought, like taking a

30:39

divorce was the scariest thing I ever did. Like

30:41

my parents gave me like life advice for everything

30:43

I did my whole entire life up to that

30:45

point, but they're still married. So they're like, we

30:47

don't even, we're blind. Like we don't even know

30:49

what to tell you to do. Were they like

30:51

supportive or was it kind of a little bit? Initially

30:54

not so great. But then they came out.

30:56

Well, they were supportive of the divorce. Oh,

30:58

oh, oh. That was the question. coming out

31:00

was a different story. I'm

31:02

laughing because I'm thinking about how my family would

31:04

be. And I just picture myself trying to explain

31:06

to like my grandma or my grandpa, like, no,

31:08

this is what's happening. And I don't think they

31:10

would be able to like even wrap

31:12

their brains. My mom to this day is like,

31:14

I am sorry. I will never be able

31:17

to say I'm sorry enough. And she's like obsessed

31:19

with Tay now. I think that's why it

31:21

took a while for us to get engaged too.

31:23

Cause I was like, I wanted it to

31:25

be like, I want everybody to be like on

31:27

board. My first wedding was a fucking shit

31:29

show. Everyone was fighting. So I'm like, I really

31:31

can't do that again. I can't. We're like

31:33

at the actual wedding. Well, like there was just

31:35

like so much fighting about like every detail of

31:37

the wedding. Really? The entire time we

31:39

planned it. Oh, it was a fucking nightmare.

31:42

Can you me? I tried to postpone

31:44

the wedding. It was so bad. Shut up.

31:46

Was it like about deal? You

31:48

name it? It was

31:50

about it. Like the flowers?

31:52

Fucking flowers. Fucking venue.

31:54

Fucking brides made dresses. Fucking

31:58

discos. wanted

32:00

to bring a date like it was

32:02

non-stop fighting and I can't wait to

32:04

plan a wedding. It's literally the worst

32:07

thing in the world. I mean listen

32:09

maybe if you find the right person

32:11

I mean we planned a wedding it

32:13

was only for 30 people though so

32:15

that's why it was kind of like

32:17

easy. Okay and how big was the

32:20

180 people? Whoo! Okay my uncle hitchhiked

32:22

there like I literally can't. He's no

32:24

longer with us rest and peace Bobby.

32:26

rest in peace um that's that's

32:28

crazy I killed him for hitchhiking

32:31

too on my wedding also

32:33

hitchhiking to the Hampton like what

32:35

like the gall honestly it's he's kind

32:37

of a confident king no that's kind

32:39

of like really bad off he wait

32:42

so he had a lot of issues

32:44

he took like train planes and

32:46

automobiles to get to the wedding

32:48

he only lived in Massachusetts it

32:50

really isn't that deep like he

32:53

could have just like taken like

32:55

a fucking bus whatever But he

32:57

like, when he got to the

32:59

Hamptons, he didn't like know what

33:01

to do and he was like,

33:04

I can't afford a cab. So

33:06

he like went to the beach.

33:08

Well, because in the Hamptons, like

33:10

there's not public transportation. It's not

33:12

easy in the Hamptons. He just

33:15

shouldn't have come. Right. But he

33:17

went to the beach and he

33:19

took a shower girl and then

33:21

he called 911. He said he'd he'd

33:24

exhaustion and they came and they

33:26

were like, you're fine. He was

33:28

like, well, while you're here, could

33:30

you drop me off at Wolfer Estate?

33:33

And they were like, uh, no, we're not

33:35

a fucking taxi service. We're an ambulance. Wait,

33:37

you were lying. Tugod. You're so he, they

33:39

showed up because he said he was having

33:42

like a. he exhaustion he stroked and he

33:44

was like calling like my dad and like

33:46

my mom and our family to come pick

33:48

him up but we were all fighting so

33:51

much about a little bit busy I don't

33:53

know a little bit we were also in

33:55

a huge fight because I got so drunk

33:57

at the rehearsal dinner that like I caused

34:00

a scene because I knew I

34:02

was doing the wrong thing. Anyway,

34:04

it was a disaster, but he

34:06

ended up hitchhiking and this nice

34:08

lady in a Mercedes convertible picked

34:10

him up and she was like

34:12

a friend of my now ex-mother-in-laws

34:14

of all the people mortifying and

34:17

all and she was like, oh,

34:19

that's so nice you got invited

34:21

because I didn't. It was like

34:23

a disaster. a disaster. That is

34:25

like the scrapiest, most confident man

34:27

should I have ever heard. To

34:29

call the fucking like an ambulance and

34:31

then ask them to drop you

34:33

off and not even try to

34:35

be like, oh just around this

34:37

area, Wolford Estate. That's crazy. Crazy.

34:39

So he got there and then

34:41

he... Which is a vineyard, a

34:43

very well-known thing. Gorgeous. And then

34:45

we were like turning the corner

34:47

and walked on the aisle and

34:49

he was like, hey Rick. By the

34:51

way, it's rich, that's, his name is not Rick.

34:53

Hey Rick! And I was like this, buddy! I

34:56

was such a little bitch. This poor man,

34:58

like, traveled the world like Carmen San Diego.

35:00

No, but also. Because he loves me so

35:02

much to get to the wedding and I'm

35:04

like this, buddy! Shh! I was such a

35:06

little bitch. Well, were you walking down the

35:08

aisle, because I probably would do something similar.

35:11

I was, and then he left. Okay,

35:13

after all that because I was

35:15

because you said Bobby in a

35:17

stern voice I was a contisorous

35:19

to him Okay, well, you know

35:21

what you were being a bridezilla,

35:23

which I don't blame you. However,

35:25

I do want to ask you

35:27

You knew going into the wedding like

35:29

this is not my guy. This is

35:31

not this is not my the whole

35:34

thing was not my vibe. You know

35:36

what I mean? It was like his world

35:38

I thought at first I was so

35:40

attracted to it and it was like

35:42

so appealing but like it just like

35:44

was not like I fought so much

35:47

him that he was actually pretty sweet

35:49

and pretty nice I fought a lot

35:51

with his family about the wedding stuff

35:53

that's like when it really started

35:55

it was like but the thing is

35:57

like it is really hard to separate

37:24
