bit of how how the team is comprised when we

setting up the the iPad.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
The teams.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Sometimes the team can be close to home literally, and
we got to get into it with our guests because
they have made this work for a very long time
and it's so hopeful and inspiring to see.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
I have to say, the aesthetic that we are being
greeted with in this zoom is top notch. It speaks
to my soul right now. Of course I'm on the
Prince of Christmas tour. Yes, I do want to acknowledge
I am wearing my own merch. It is because it's
the comfiest thing I own. Sorry, I made comfy merch.
Speaker 5 (01:48):

Speaker 5 (01:51):
You have nothing to apologize for.

I mean, it is Christmas time in Salt Lake City, clearly,
and we are It's Christmas time in the last coach lore.
I mean, and this is this is like Christmas morning
for me. This is I will feel much happier today
than I do on Christmas Morning.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
I'll tell you that.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
I must agree.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Yeah, And speaking of merch, I think we need to
eventually get lunatic fringe merch. I mean, we have the
anti Catanavis merch galore. She's drinking out of her own mug.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Yeah, we're seeing Okay, So our guest today is a
business owner, a hairstylist, and I think it's crazy. It's
like a slow burning breakout star. I think that's one
of the first ever slow burn but also breakout stars
we've seen. It feels like an overnight sensation, but also
(02:41):
it's been years in the making. I'm speaking, of course,
of the television series The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City,
which Bo and I are on record as saying is
television's current best show. And you know a lot of
people are agreeing with us, including Andy Conon himself, who
I know this is his current pride and joy.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
So to have her is major.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
She is holding center snowflake this season. She is a
pillar of the Greek community, as we all know. Everyone.
Please welcome, Hello, Hello, you got what a welcome?
Speaker 6 (03:16):
Oh my goodness, I'm honored and I'm flattered and all
of it. Thank you. I've been dying to be on
this podcast since I met on Watch Happens Live.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
A great episode.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
Yeah, and then I found out Matt was Greek yes,
and then I left watch Rappins Life and one of
my cast mates, the mean one said, I'm just kidding,
whose name I shall not mention, said I don't think
bow liked you. You kept touching him too much. You
kept and then I have not true drama. Meredith. Well,
(03:49):
I didn't say it was her. I left out, like,
oh my gosh. I hope I made a great impression
on Bowen because the success of my first appearance was
because of him being there and him easy to connect
with and his great energy.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
That was all you, Angie. I mean, it was so
lovely to meet you. I got to meet Electro, I
got to meet Sean. You guys were so lovely to
be around, and I could tell you were This is
a big deal. This is a big deal to both us,
but especially this is your WWHL debut.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
You rocked it down, Angie.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
Thank you. I couldn't have done that without you, so
thank you.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Yes, I mean that was that was a phenomenal episode.
It's crazy to think back because right now high BodyCount
hair is kind of the meme of the moment, but
this was the this was the sunglasses already, some turnover
in your meme ability.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
Yeah, thank you. That's that's a compliment. Like, definitely with eyes,
that's a compliment.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
So is this can we ask like the high BodyCount
hair thing? You're obviously from the hair community. And by
the way, this is another way that we connect because
you know, my mother is a hairdresser lifelong.
Speaker 6 (04:53):
Your Greek and your mom's a hairdresser. Yes, like we
have some serious connections. I didn't know that. But you
grew up as a hairdresser's child. That's like, that's the
best story. No wonder you have such great hair?
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Well, is this high body count hair? Does this count?
My bleach?
Speaker 6 (05:09):
I'm sorry, but that is that screaming high body count?
That is? Yes?
Speaker 3 (05:15):
I can I can take that. I actually I'm actually
proud to hold that mantle.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
Oh yeah, you should be. There's a line for you.
There's a line a high body count get fine?
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Of course, where did it come from?
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Was high body count hair something you and the girls
say in the salon or was that just something off
the cuff?
Speaker 6 (05:31):
It's so crazy. I have never said it. I have
never thought it. I just remember thinking like that is
like porn nineties hair. When I saw her hair and
it was like not moving, it was like flagged and
you could see the tracks to her extension bless her
little heart. And then when she kind of you know,
(05:52):
offended me by saying I was probably slutty and I've
been with Sean for thirty years, I just thought, okay, girl,
let's like look at your hair. I didn't want to
say you look like you have a high body count.
But our hair was like screaming nineties porn and it
just came out. People keep saying, like, where did that
come from? I don't know, it just came out. That's
my best materials when it just flies out and it
(06:13):
gets me in trouble, but people love it.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Would it be furnished that you've walked it back a
little bit to say there's nothing wrong with having high
body count hair, is there?
Speaker 6 (06:21):
You know what? You know, high BodyCount hair can actually
be super sexy and like you know the old guess
ads or you know, like just the volume the sexy
like raar, look like cougar, you know, like, but I
have to say, if it's done right, it can be
so hot.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Yes, I want you to walk us through the hair journey. Well,
first of all, impeccable, flawless today.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Great flow today, and great flow.
Speaker 6 (06:52):
Oh my gosh, really you guys, thank you so much.
I'm having it's slighting back, kind it's sliding back. I
go my manager. I've got the usband.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
Okay, of course we'll cut around this. Don't worry.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
I standing by, Sean is standing by. Okay, It's perfect ton,
Thank you guys.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
The treat has been to see all of the eras
of Sean and Angie, but specifically with Angie, with you,
like the hair all the way back to when you
and Sean first started dating, like those cutaways to those
old photos. You'd really pull it off with any kind
of length, any style. But walk us through what the
journey has been for you since, you know, since you've
(07:30):
documented the hair.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Yeah, hair eras Wow, thank you well aras tour as
it were the eras.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
To there were so many of those that I didn't
even put in because I had no idea it would
make such a splash. So I'm regretting some others that
were missed to repost them.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
Oh.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
I think a lot of people like really resonated with
that nineties era, and a lot of people were that girl.
A lot of people had the super skinny eyebrows, a
lot of people had like the really hardliner that was
like dark brown with a white color of lips inside,
and you know, the hard eyeliner. I mean, I think
it was super like nostalgic for so many people. And
(08:09):
then Sean's hair was hilarious. I mean, Sean was like
we were we had matching Bob's. I didn't even notice it.
I read the comments. I'm like, how did I not
notice that we had matching Bob's? Like that is so hilarious?
Are soulmates? And we went through so many funny we
tried everything, like we both loved fashion, we both loved
(08:29):
you know, we were both super creative and for our time,
we were ahead of our time, like the chuz you
know that hair in Salt Lake was so ahead of
its time. I mean, looking back, I just really enjoyed
the joy that it brought to others and the laughter
that it brought to the Internet that day. And yeah,
Sean and I like we did it together. We both
(08:50):
were always a super fashionable couple for our time, I guess,
And like, I know, it doesn't look ahead of our
time looking back, but at the time we were so like
we were trendsetters.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Of course, no, it totally reads that way because I'm like,
my first thought is not necessarily like the laughs.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
It's certainly the jewel. I'm not laughing at that, going haha,
look at how silly it is.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
I go, ha haa, Look how she they look. And
I think Angie in the nineties would have been just
just a fun time.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
Oh she was, she was, she still is. I mean,
so I laughed, like, I mean, I love it because
I do look back on that. Angie, Sean and I
went out to clubs all the time. We were super social.
We were out everywhere and it was just a fun
era and like I was the only girl with platforms
in Salt Lake City and I had to get him
in La at a special store called Wild Pair. Do
you guys remember Wild Pair?
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Wow, we don't. I don't remember about Yeah.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
Yeah. It was like you could only find really cool
edgy shoes there, and it used to only be out
of state. And then we got I mean, you know,
I would go out of state to shop and I
was wearing leftward print when no one was worried leper print.
But in the hair industry you have to be very
fashioned forward, and so we were like always inspired by
things outside of salt Lake before salt Lake became so cool.
(10:08):
Because now salt Lake is like really on the map.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Dan, what do you think that is. Do you think
it's been like within the last ten years that's happened
or are you referring to the popularity of the show
people roll through when they kind of want to see
all the because there are they're like landmarks now, I mean, yes,
places to spot.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
If you are a Housewives fan in salt Lake City.
Speaker 6 (10:27):
You know all of it really honestly, because I think
salt Lake was like the best kept secret. It was
a hidden gem because it's so beautiful. It's so clean,
and I have to say, like the Mormon Church keeps
our city clean and beautiful and there's a lot of
things to do for families and kids, and our downtown
is just pristine and well that's all churches. But you know,
(10:48):
I mean, the Mormon Church does run downtown salt Lake
until the Greeks came in. But you know, I will
say yes, but I will say I think the show
has really shined a light on salt Lake City and
it's an enigma. It's beautiful, the mountains of snow, like
you just don't see this anywhere.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
I think it does.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Have a lot to do with it, you know, even
like the soundtracking that comes in when it's like those
crazy dings and dongs that happen when you see Salt Lake.
It really sets the show apart. It really it feels
like you're in a world when you're watching it.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
Yes, and can I also say like owning a business
and multiple businesses throughout the city and being in downtown
Salt Lake our salons, I mean we're already like Max's capacity,
but we have people moving here from big cities that
want to come into our salons that are used to
paying for a high end experience in other cities. So
like Lunatic Fringe has benefited from our cities growing. Our
(11:43):
real estate has gone through the roof, and it's just
our cities on fire. Don't move here, We won't, we won't. No, no,
you guys can. But traffic everybody else can't.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Traffic.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
It's getting bad and things are changing.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
The infrastructure was not built for the real houses. City
to Britain always people into town. So talks about lunatic Fringe.
I actually had to when we saw this was the name.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
I didn't know this was a term. What is this?
Where did this come from?
Speaker 6 (12:10):
Well? Okay, so we opened our salon twenty five years ago,
going on twenty six. We were like twenty let's see
twenty six and twenty eight years old, young kids, and
we are mentor and friend. Alan he always said, I
he gave us the name, and it's like, it means
a couple of terms. It means kind of crazy hair,
but if you google it, it's like a group of
(12:31):
like minded people working towards the same goal or vision.
And it fit perfectly. And it was so edgy for
its time, and it didn't even say salons, and people
just thought lunatic fringe, what is this? But it's really
stood out and after him saying you should use this,
we just couldn't think of anything else. It was so
good you couldn't tap. And it's become a household name.
We have ten locations. We're a franchise company now and
(12:55):
we have locations outside of Salt Lake City. We have
locations in Boise, in Idaho, and all the restaur in Utah.
And you know, with the right partners, we're willing to
open more. But you know, our salon's been on fire
the last twenty five years, and you know, it was
a little dream. We just wanted one salon and had
no idea it would become what it is. So we
do own a cosmetology school, so we have like, you know,
(13:17):
two to three hundred students a year that we educated
train them on business and hair and that's with Paul Mitchell.
And then you know, they they spread their wings and
they either work for us or we train hairdressers to
go work wherever they want.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
I wish we saw more of that on the show. Yeah,
do you film at Lunatic Fringe? Is there stuff that
they could use?
Speaker 5 (13:38):
Because that's couple of things that you guys shoo.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
Yeah, we've only filmed once in the salon. I'd love
to share more of that. We also own a beauty
supply distributorship, so we're very immersed in the beauty industry
and we have been for years. You know, we do
a lot of fundraising with our school that we've been
involved in. Just a lot of great things in the
community through our businesses.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
That's wonderful.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
Yes, thank you.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
What's the family history in Salt Lake City, like like
you've basically been there for most of your life.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Is that there to stay at this point.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
Yes, yeah, my dad came to America to Salt Lake City, Utah,
when he was seventeen. My mother came when she was eight,
and they met here as young adults. We were all
born here. And you know it's great because my dad
came here with one suit that someone loaned him. And
someone asked him when he came to America, well, where's
(14:29):
your stuff, and he said, this is it. That's all
he came with. He didn't even have a toothbrush till
he moved here. My dad didn't have shoes till he
was eleven. So we were raised very humble. But you know,
I thought I was rich because my dad worked hard.
We had a nice house. He drove a Cadillac, and like,
I thought I was rich. I always wanted nice things
because I loved girlish things and my mom passing away,
(14:50):
Like I didn't even have mascare or lip gloss around
the house, and I loved all things beauty and fashion.
So but yeah, I have seven siblings. We're all still
here in Utah, very close. I have a very tiny family.
My dad comes from a family of ten, so I
have the whole big fat Greek wedding, like huge family
and the community. The Greek community here is also really tight,
(15:11):
so like I was immersed in all things Greek. We
Greek danced my dad. You know, even though Salt Lake was,
you know, really a stronger Mormon population when we moved here,
and we were the only like Greeks in our neighborhood
for miles, surrounded like by Mormons. We love the Mormons
and they were very supportive of our family, and but
we still kept our Greek culture going strong and continue
(15:34):
to go to our church and keep the traditions going.
And you know, families everything for me, because I always
say part of what's probably been my success on the shows,
I have a strong sense of self. I have a
strong identity, and you really have to have that and
to be authentic. And I've enjoyed sharing more of my family,
letting people see me more as a whole this season.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Absolutely, Yeah, that must be a real difference between you
being a friend of and then all of a sudden,
so what does it feel like? So you start as
let's walk through actually the beginning, so you hear that
the Real Housewives are coming to Salt Lake City. I
would imagine and is it that you hear that they're
doing auditions or that they're speaking to anyone in particular,
because I know you've known Heather Gay, who was sort
(16:16):
of the protagonist of the show for a very long time. Yes,
talk about that origins of how this all happened.
Speaker 6 (16:22):
Well, Heather reached down, she said, high, Angie, it's Heather
Dean's that was her name. I mean, I hadn't seen that.
I hadn't seen Heather in a while, and she said,
I'm referring you for this show for fabulous business Women,
but nobody told me it was Housewives. So when I interviewed,
I was like, yes, this is correct, And I mean
I was like in, I was like in my business
(16:44):
suits and like I was not giving any inkling that
I was housewife material because they did tell me what
show I was interviewing for. So I was just not
very fun and playful, just being definitely really professional, probably
more up type. But they had already cast the six
girls when they found me, so they circled around to
me around season two and that's when I just kind
(17:04):
of like, you know, I made an appearance. Heather invited
me to her event and she was super supportive. She
again followed up with production and said, you guys have
to like circle background to Sean and Angie. And then
they did. And I came on slowly, which I think
is the hardest way to come into this group and
on the show. Yea yeah, because they don't really welcome you.
It's like we're gonna haze this girl. We're gonna prove
(17:27):
she's a fraud, that she's a money launder, that her
marriage is a sham, that like everything about her is fake.
Like it was unbelievable for them. I think that I
really was successful. I thought I do check the boxes,
like I'd love to be on this show. I wasn't
expecting to get blindsided. I thought I was like coming
on because I was aspirational and share my life in
my business. So I had to fight. And you know,
(17:49):
Mary said it best to me. She said, Angie, like
they tried to take you out, She's like you rebounded,
you came back and like you slam dunked, and like
I had to, I had to work really hard to
like show up on the trip and have people boom
me for showing up uninvited, which is the episode I
was on with you falling on watching.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
That was still to this day, the Tricksy Hotel Palm
Springs sequence of episodes is probably uplill on the best
Head Housewives's history.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I mean it is we thank god that you showed
up to that trip.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
You know, yeah, you know, that's what I had to say, Like,
you know, that was one of the most iconic dinner
scenes and I guess if I wasn't there, they would
have just been getting Manny's and petties at the hotel.
So thank god I showed up and crashed right of
the party, as I say, But yeah, it's like I
think for me, I've had to work for everything in
(18:43):
my life, and you know what, I had to really
work hard to get to not just start out as
like coming and showing up to a party, from guests
to friend, but to going full time and then winding
up center and first her next to Andy, Like I
worked hard for all of this, and that is the
story of my life. So I have to It's been hard,
but it's it's worth it, and it's more worth it
(19:04):
when it was harder to get where you are. And
also having been the underdog, I think it sends a
great message. I heard Brittany was on water Hapvens Live
and I've only seen the clip because I was in Canada.
But and Andy asked her if I should have sat
in the first chair and she said no, it should
have been an og And I just said, Brittany, girl,
dream big, because if I sit there, then you should
(19:24):
never sit there. And like, I've always been a leader,
not a follower, since I was a kid, and I'm
a leader in my business. And you know what, I
wanted that center. I wanted to sit next to Andy.
And if you're going to be there, yes, if I'm
going to be an underdog and then make it to
the throne, like I'm so proud of that, and I'm
going to enjoin revel in the moment. So I think
that the message I'm sending to anyone is you can
(19:47):
start at the bottom. You can be an underdog and
wind up in the center. And I hope that that
inspires Brittany that she's entitled to sit in that chair
one day too, if she gives her shit together with
her hair.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
But I think Britany could want or for herself across
the board. Absolutely, Brittany across the board.
Speaker 6 (20:07):
That made me sad for her to hear her say
that Andy said, it's not about being an og, so
I felt like, keep back to you, it's not. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
What has your opinion been of Bronwin on the show
this season? I know that the show is still in progress,
but would you like to see everyone return? Do you
feel like this is a cast that we feel really works.
I mean, I know that's how we feel.
Speaker 6 (20:36):
Yes, you know what, one hundred and fifty percent. I
love this cast. It's like, yes, every person on this
show is perfect, and I think coming back it will
be even better because I know you evolve with time,
you learn from watching yourself. Your friendship strengthen, your connections
to the women's strengthen. Then they become deeper, which makes
(20:57):
you have a better season because you really fall in
love with some of these not all of them, but
you really, I mean, you become a family, and you
can be more truthful, you can be more honest, you
can stand on all ten toes. I mean everyone gets
better every year, and I would well, not everyone, but
most of us, but the cast is like all star
and that's why Salt Lake stays winning. I think everyone
(21:18):
should come back, and I think Bronwin did a great job.
I think she still needs to figure out who she
wants to be friends with and where her loyalty lies.
And you can't be friends with everyone on this show.
And the sooner she figures that out, she'll be winning
because she's still trying to be friends with certain people
even if they dogged her, and like, you know that,
you know, you have to be confident and know that
(21:39):
you deserve real friendships and not beg people to like you,
like find your friends, hold their secrets. You can't tell everything,
you know. That's been something that I think she's going
to wash back and realize, like she's made some messes
along the way, and I think it's because she was
being friends with whoever was in front of her. And
I think now she's going to learn that you don't
(22:02):
do that, you know, because then you're backpeddling and you
have a big giant mess to clean up. And there's
a little more of that to come with her. But
I think she's a smart woman and by next season
she'll figure it out.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
Sure thing.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
I mean, it was interesting in this last episode. I
think it was it might have been Heather or Whitney
like broke down, like who was in conflict with who
in terms of this how is it Lisa is Lisa?
Speaker 5 (22:24):
It was Lisa, And.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
It seems like Bronwyn kind of had the most ire
built up or like spread out or across.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
Many different people, And so I think that's to your point.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
It's like if you're trying to please everybody, then you
please no one, and then you get yourself in trouble.
Speaker 6 (22:37):
Well and like you know, being on a trip, and
she'd be in everyone's room talking about everyone, but her
goal was I'm gonna be friends with everyone. But if
you take information from room to room, you're not friends
with everyone, and that will come back and bite you
in the ass. And I don't think she realized that
all you got to do is watch yourself one season
and again she's smart and hopefully she'll never do it again.
(22:58):
But I like to know that I can talk to
someone and know it's not always going to go somewhere right,
And that's what you've got to find your friends and
stay loyal to them. Like to me, I think it
took me a minute to really break out because I
wanted to be a good friend and I wanted to
be loyal and I didn't want to cross lines. But
I think, like you called me a slow burn, it's
it's better to establish sit back and observe people, understand
(23:21):
people and how they work, establish real friendships and real roots,
and then you can be yourself more because you have
more understanding of the group. If you come in and
kind of blow everyone up and start talking about everyone
to everyone, that that's going to blow up on you.
And I didn't know that. I just did organically what
I felt and being a good friend and being integral
(23:43):
and like wanting to I wanted to stay on the
show as my real self, as a good person, you know,
and not like blow people up or ruin lives. That's
why I'd rather talk about high BodyCount than than be
like digging in dms and try and share people's marriages
or businesses. Like that's not fun, you know that I
want to bring the fun to the show. And how
did I get on to me? I mean we were
(24:03):
talking about Bronlin. How did I turn this?
Speaker 4 (24:05):
No?
Speaker 3 (24:05):
No, But I don't know it's about you. It does
relate to you, though, and I think that so. And
I do want to speak on Meredith for a second,
because that has been this has been like a and
I will say Meredith is a friend of the show,
and we are We are Angie fans, but we are
also Meredith fans, and so I guess what we would
like to see is ultimately, well, it's kind of complicated, right,
because we love watching you guys face off. It is
(24:28):
always fun to watch you guys be adversarial with each other.
But that being said, we do really love you both
and want the best for you both. So I guess
my question to you is, do you see the value
in having a foe like that? And in that way
do you feel like she's your most in a way
valuable relationship on the show.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
Well, thanks for saying that, because I love that you
guys are my fans. Stands because that made me feel like,
oh my god, I am a good housewife when I
heard you.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Guys likewife incredible the third house I've ever had on
last Coach ESAs you, Garcel and doctor Wendy.
Speaker 6 (25:04):
Are you oh my are you serious?
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (25:08):
I am winning? Oh my god, God, absolutely, I can
die now. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
Okay, Well to answer that, in the moment when I'm
fighting with Meredith, my blood is boiling. I'm in fight
or flight. I mean it is so intense for me.
And when you watch that back, like when I got
kicked out of the bot Mitzvah, for example, or when
she yelled you can leave, I mean, I was like,
it doesn't translate on camera what I'm filling inside, because
(25:38):
you know, she had me in tears, and look, I
know that I was inappropriate with my tits hanging out
and saying the D word and saying the airport to
her bot Mitzvah, But like her bot Mitzvah did air Okay,
So maybe this I mean, but I do have to
go back to like you can leave. When she told
me to leave, I'm like, I'm not leaving. I deserve
(25:58):
to be at this I deserve to be on this show,
and I deserve to be with this group. And I
stood down, and some of the girls told me, no
one's really ever stood up to Meredith like that, and
that's why she can't stand you. And it was hard
for me to do that because she's an og and
while it's my city, in her mind, it's her show.
It's my city and it's her show right now.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
That's so you believe, you believe that you are more
salt Lake than Meredith Mark.
Speaker 6 (26:29):
She's not from me. I born and raised in these streets. Rah,
I mean, I mean for real, I am so passionate
the community. God damn Feller. But you know it's funny
because when that happened, I mean inside, I was just
like shook and really deeply, and it felt like she
was bullying me, trying to yell at me to leave
this event. And I'm sure she had her reasons for
(26:51):
saying that I'm not perfect. And then when she did
it to me to get at the bot miss so
I'm telling you I'm in fight or flight, I'm like
shaking inside, I'm furious, I'm a so I feel like crying.
But when I watch it back and when people like
redo the scenes, like I left that parting, cried for
three days. It was so humiliating, it was so cruel.
It was so domeaning and to me, and I just
(27:14):
felt like, are you really trying to do this to
me again? Like making like it felt like she was
trying to make fun of me, And then I felt
totally set up, you guys, And that was why I
cried forever after that, because I said, when she said
why are you even here? That was like, like you
invited me here, and you brought me here to humiliate me.
And what you just said is obvious that you want
(27:35):
to humiliate me. And now you're kicking me out. And
it was so hurtful because I would never I treated
her like gold when she came to my home. I
told my daughter to make eye contact, smile, welcome her in.
I mean, I would never kick anyone out like that.
It doesn't matter what the circumstances, so I couldn't relate.
But watching it back, it doesn't feel as dark as
(27:56):
it did in the moment. And seeing like like ether,
oh well create it with barbies, seeing Andy last night,
on seeing these VisiC Julianne Moore and like Anderson Cooper
recreate it now, it's like they are bringing light to
this moment. And that's who I am. Like I am
so funny in real life and I love to make
people laugh. So to see this be recreated and bring
(28:19):
laughter to people, it softens it for me. And you
know what, she is a good sparing partner for me.
She's a lawyer. She went to law school to learn
to argue. But I am a damn hairdresser, beauty school graduate.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
With streams smart, Yes, and don't count them out.
Speaker 6 (28:36):
Don't count That's what I say. It's like, girl, you're
a lawyer. You you went to school to learn how
to argue. I'm just learning the streets over. I learned
in the streets of that way, and so I just
that's right exactly. So I just want to laugh because
I thought I am a good sparring partner for this woman.
She may not want to admit it, but like I've
(28:56):
kind of taken her out pretty good for me and
just a little old hairdresser. So look, I think there
are some real feelings between us that are not good
and we don't really like each other. So we have
made for probably I've heard from you know, some people
that we are probably the best feud in housewives.
Speaker 5 (29:15):
History there getting the definitely we're.
Speaker 6 (29:19):
Kind of in a better place as you sawter last episode.
I don't want to continue to do this with her,
but you know, we're definitely very different, and it probably,
I mean, you guys must agree that it makes for
looking back and being able to laugh at it out.
I can see that it does make for a good
housewives feud and for good laughs.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
It's sublime. But I really love that you're talking.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
About this the stages of this right, because I've always
been curious about The Housewives, where there are a lot
of different echoes to each experience that gets captured on
the show. You have the event itself, and in the moment,
in the reality of it, you feel a certain way
when Meredith kicks you out a event that is so hurtful,
and then you have to sort of relive that as
(30:04):
the show airs months later. And then the third echo
is the response to it. People are reaching out in
the comments or they're tagging you and stuff the memes
of it, and then you see Anderson Cooper and Julian
Moore do it on TV and so like, I'm so
happy to hear that it brings light to that situation
because I would think to relive it in three different
waves is a lot.
Speaker 6 (30:24):
Oh and you know what, and let me add drunk
drawn like he's hilarious. I just want to give credit
to all the people. When I rewatched this stuff, it
softens the blow and you know, you don't remember sometimes
I had no idea that would become so funny to people,
and that made me happy, and that made it easier
to rewatch. And you never know how people are going
(30:46):
to take things, but you're right when like you know,
last year, having to watch rumors about Sean, that was hurtful.
I didn't love that from my family and for Sean
and my daughter and his parents are mine. You know,
that was hard. But this was a little more funny
and lighthearted watching it, but in the moment, it cuts
so deep. And you know, I had the re called me.
Every day after that, I was sobbing, like I could.
(31:08):
I was on the verge of tears for three days.
So as it's happening, it's so deeply hurtful to feel
like you were set up or someone brought you there
to make a mockery of you. And then you know,
watching it, and that's where the editors are just magic,
like the music and the like you said, the little
things and all the stuff that can make it a
little more light, because we don't want our show to
be dark.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
No, and it had it had been in the past.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
And I think I actually think if Salt Lake City
had a week er season, I would say it was
the third season because it felt really bogged down in
the gen Shaw darkness of it all. And I do
want to ask about that situation like looking back on
all of that, and I also after this, I'll follow
up with another question about how you see yourself in
(31:51):
an edit, because I always think that's fascinating. Yes, but
first I wanted to ask looking back on the Genshaw
of it all and what you all went through, what
are the feeling that in retrospect and also going forward
and when it comes to Genshaw.
Speaker 6 (32:06):
Yeah, you know, for me, you know, she overshadowed everybody
with like her yelling and a lot of toxicity that
came to the show. Like she was hilarious. I will
say this, she had a side to her that she
could say the funniest things that would just have you rolling.
I don't want to like negate from some of the
good things she brought to the show, because she brought
some very like funny moment.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
She's a three to sixty person.
Speaker 6 (32:29):
Yeah, yes, and that was a side to her I loved.
But she's hard to be on a show with because
she blows up, and everybody's scared of her blowing up
and trying to keep her calm foreseen and so a
lot of people just I feel like, I hate to
say this, but a lot of people really blossomed after
she was no longer on the show. And it's a fact, Like,
(32:49):
I don't think it's offensive, it's a fact and you've
seen and it was hard for me to be I mean,
she dumped a drink on my head and it was like,
if you're going to open your mouth, I'm gonna like
humiliate you in front of the world. Yeah, after I
felt like I'd been a good friend to her. So
I think for me, she's hard to be on a
show with for that reason, and it overshadows a lot,
(33:10):
and you know, so many there were so many rising
stars waiting to happen. Yeah, and I think it took
for her going away for people to be seen.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Yeah, I mean, especially because you know, with her out
of the way, yeah, you could cat and also not
for nothing. But what's really interesting is how it seemed
like when that broke in season two, that she was
being arrested on camera and that it was going to
be seen and that there was going to be the
fallout from that. It kind of felt like, how could
they top this? And then for the aftermath and someone
(33:41):
tangentially involved are actually pretty directly involved with everything going
on with har Monica to become like the even more compelling,
even more interesting thing the next season. I think just
goes to show like it doesn't rely on any one person,
not any single one of these shows too so is
an ensemble and it is the environment and the community
(34:03):
of people involved that make it interesting and compelling.
Speaker 6 (34:06):
Yes, you know, and even like I related to being
a business owner because we have like some super right
stars in our business and you can never be held
hostage as a business owner or you know, on the show,
because there is always someone willing to come up and
share their life. There's always another star out there, and
(34:26):
no one should ever be held hostage in their business
because we're always auditioning for our show, for the show.
We're always auditioning in our business, like we have to
be on our game. But there's always someone as they say,
Peter Richard and Skinnier I mean joking, you know what
I mean that this is an ensemble cast and we
just keep on growing and the show must go on,
(34:48):
and I think people need to know that and not
take for granted their position.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
Yeah, and just to follow up on what I was saying,
like when it comes to seeing yourself edited into a
reality TV character, that is something that I have always
a not been able to wrap my head around in
terms of like agreeing to be on something like that.
I feel like that would really scare me and be
something I have like a lot of respect for because
you are giving a lot of your personal life, but
(35:15):
they can only use not even ninety percent of it.
They can only use two percent of it to get
across to everyone who you are, what you're all about.
And then the audience, the large audience, can gauge your
likability or a lack thereof. So I guess my question
to you is what is your experience in watching yourself
as an edited character?
Speaker 6 (35:38):
You know it's interesting. I feel like for me, it
took the audience a minute to just get me, and
I don't know if that's because I was in fight
or flight. When you're fighting, you don't get to just
relax and let your hair down and be your funny self.
So I'm seeing you, like in conflict with women, and
that's not fun. That's why I've loved to just seeing
more of myself at home or where I'm more my
(36:00):
natural self versus in conflict. But I will say my
first couple of seasons, I don't think like my authenticity,
like my true self came out as much. And I
think people on production get to know you more and
they get you more, and maybe that's helpful when you're
on for a little more time. But like this season,
(36:20):
Heather Gay told me, Angie, you are hilarious. Bring your
thoughts external, and that was the best advice anyone has
ever given me in real life and on the show,
because I would say all this, but this season I
said it all, and I feel like the show finally
captured like my true essence. I don't think I really
(36:41):
did that last season. So it's a combination of like
maybe getting more comfortable in front of the cameras and
somebody giving me permission to like and you just say it.
It's okay, it doesn't matter what people think, Like that's
you and that's what you think. And I thought, you know,
I do have all these funny thoughts and I finally
just let them lose this season. So yeah, it is hard.
You'll I'll never see one hundred percent of who you are,
(37:02):
but I think they give you enough moments now as
they know you to let the audience see who you
really are. So this season I kind of felt they
really captured me more of my wittedness, my sense of humor,
my one liners, and my real personality. There are a
lot more housewives, so a lot of personal stuff for
all of us was missed because when you have that
(37:23):
many women and Brittany being filmed almost full time, you
can't share as much of your personal story, and we
lost a lot of mine that, you know, stuff with
my daughter that wasn't shown with her on her horse
that I would love to share more, but there just
wasn't enough time. So but yeah, it's it's I definitely
like this season captured more of it. So I'm happy
(37:43):
with the season. Last season not as much, you know,
other than me just being in conflict, But I really
I feel this season that I had a great season
and all more of my true, authentic self came out.
So I think they did a good job.
Speaker 4 (37:57):
I'm so happy to hear that because I will say,
even with the hardships of last season, but going into
this one, I think you are very easy to endear towards,
like I think the audience in those moments of heartshapact
that you handled that conflict so well last season, And
I feel like even in the big splashy moments that
(38:18):
are big swings in terms of the glasses or the scroll.
Speaker 5 (38:20):
I'm like, it all works.
Speaker 4 (38:22):
It all works, no matter how silly or goofy or
ridiculous or rehearsed or whatever it is. I don't even
know if any of that was rehearsed, but I will say, like,
it's just it comes from you, and that true, like
selfhood is so beautiful and we don't want cue anytime
you do something you Gie, I mean, we're all in
the group chat just loving it.
Speaker 6 (38:42):
Oh my gosh. That means so much to me because
I know you're both huge Housewives fans and I just
adore you guys, So for you to say that, that
really means a lot. Thank you. And you know, like
I am funny in real life and these are things
I would do in real life, Like I have this
little sample scroll here, and I just because I'm a
perfect like, I did practice unrolling it because I didn't.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
Know how it was great. I con don on the timing.
Speaker 3 (39:07):
I believe it was it really and also it being
employed against Meredith it made it work even more because
she does and I think she would own this. She
does her ice queen thing. You know what I mean
she is. She is a little bit of and I
think again, I say this with love for her. She
is a little bit of an elitist who maybe would
never do a prank like that or a stunt like that.
So for her to be on the receiving end of
(39:28):
a stunt like that is funny because it's her.
Speaker 6 (39:32):
Oh I mean, she was clutching her pearls. She was
just disgusted. And you know what's great about it is
like I just I thought it was funny, And to me,
I just thought, are you serious? She wants an apology?
Like I really meant to bringing this girl like girl,
you owe me an apology. The only thing I did
practice was unrolling it because I thought I've got this
much time before she storms up, and it just came
(39:54):
down and you're disengaged. I knew she disengaged, so I
actually thought she might laugh about it. But she didn't.
Speaker 3 (40:02):
That's okay, really, not even later, because that's something I
wonder is it's like, are you guys low key when
the cameras go down, did you guys high fiving?
Speaker 6 (40:09):
Never? No? No, no, no, We like aren't even looking
at each other. It's like, oh, hi, oh, hi, or
we'll see each other things. Oh hi, Oh, I like
your dress. I mean there's just like these these sort
of like little break the ice compliments kind of thing.
And sure, you know, we try to be nice, but
for some reason we always wind up back in conflict
and like things are okay now, but it's like, you know,
(40:31):
it's five minutes before we find something else to fight about.
I mean, I always thought, you know, she'd find me
funny because I feel like her husband's kind of a
funny jokester. But it's almost like she just doesn't get
me at all.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
It is funny that she does play this thing of
like her husband is such a funny guy and such
a booth that like for her to be so removed
from that type of thing is a very funny jocksabution.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
Yes, but I make sure a great character on the
show grew.
Speaker 6 (41:00):
You know what. Absolutely I had to step back and
realize out like, Okay, I may not like her, but
she's great for the show. And you know, like I said,
we're't a better place now as you saw from the
last episode. Yeah, good, we'll see how long at last?
Speaker 3 (41:14):
Sure?
Speaker 4 (41:14):
Sure, I mean in terms of you talking about this
thing of like, in contrast to Bronwin, like you really
took your early seasons to observe, absorb, and then build
relationships based on those operations. Talk about Mary, because that
(41:38):
came kind of it seemed like it came out of nowhere,
but in fact, if you go back and watch, like
you were kind. You were always kind to her and
even when she outright rejected you in Palm Springs, that
speaking of like, oh yeah, you you were very patient
with her, and talk about that because you must have
seen something early on to go there could be a
friendship there, and it's blossomed into something beautiful.
Speaker 1 (41:57):
It is a highlight of the season.
Speaker 6 (42:00):
Well, thank you, and it's been a highlight of my season.
Our friendship and our continued even off camera friendship. I
really enjoy her and adore her and love her. She
has let me in and I always knew like if
she would let me in and let the walls down,
I just felt like we could be good friends. I
think the biggest thing there was a scene that never
aired and she said, why are you always so nice
(42:20):
to me? And it was really embarrassing, and from that
day forward I kind of stopped trying with her and
I think kind of giving her space worked for her
because I was trying to get to know her. I'm
a really personal I can make friends with anyone, so
it was really hard for me to understand why she
didn't like me, you know, like I just I felt
(42:41):
like we had so much in common, and then she
let her walls down got to know me. You know,
we both lost our moms in different ways. We were
both really close with our aunts and our grandmothers, and
I think she realized we were a lot more alike
than she knew. And she loves it. I'm religious, she says,
I'm wholesome. She loves it. I'm a family person, and
(43:02):
you know, she sees all the real things about me
that you know, she sees me in a different light
than some of my castmates. I think I think Mary
knows that I'm her real friend and that she can
trust me, and she doesn't give that to a lot
of people. So I honor that, and I you know,
I'm very like, I'm a really sensitive, caring, loving person
(43:24):
just by nature. And you know, there's a sweet scene
for us coming up where I'm doing her hair and
oh fine, I'm just helping her get ready and it
was really special to watch, and I just thought, you know,
I love caring for people, and I think Mary feels
that for me, and she sees the real means. She
loves my family, she loves my daughter, and she's let
(43:46):
me meet her son and allowed me to her home
when she has no makeup on it. She's in her pajama,
so she's she's let her walls down.
Speaker 4 (43:53):
What did that initial moment of the walls coming down
look like even And that's what I'm curious about.
Speaker 6 (43:58):
You know what's crazy. I saw her the cast's photo
shoot for the season right after Palm Springs at the
end of the season, and she smiled and told me
how beautiful I looked, and then she said, your dress
is my favorite. I mean, she was complimenting me. That's
when I it was like a turning point where she
was kind of like giving me the time of day,
(44:19):
I guess, and she was very sweet and just very
self spoken, and I saw a different side of her,
and she was kind to me at the reunion, so
we had two great interactions and then I don't know
what it was, but she just really started to open
up to me after that, And it started at the
reunion with a lipstick, which she swears it wasn't it,
(44:41):
But I think that showed her like a little bit
of a sign that I was a good person. And
then I noticed her tom Ford bracelets, and she said
that was the moment she knew, because she said, she said,
no one else on the cast would know what those
were but you. So when you noticed them, I knew
that I liked you. And then from there it just blossomed.
And again I think I also can I say she
(45:01):
had a lot of reason to be defensive with the
women from things that have happened in the past on
the beginning, and I had never betrayed her, I'd never
lied to her. And the weird thing is she I
can't even put my finger on our connection. It's just
really natural and organic. And I want to have real
friendships on the show. I know people see that they
feel like it's transparent if you're friends with someone because
(45:22):
your allies so you can stay on the show, or
because they know something about you. I don't like that.
And I think our friendship and the realness and the
authenticity of it shines through, and our love for each
other shines through. And she loves me guys. I mean
she loves me hard, like she tells me that I
feel that, and for someone to feel that for Mary
(45:43):
is like super special and it goes both ways.
Speaker 5 (45:45):
That's wonderful.
Speaker 1 (45:46):
Absolutely.
Speaker 6 (45:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (45:47):
So okay, let's ask you the question of this podcast,
the central question, which is, Angiekatsenavis, what was the culture
that made you say culture was for you? We've talked
a lot about like how you have gotten on this
show and like you know, growing up in Salt Lake,
and I wonder if you can color in this final thing,
which is what was the culture that made you say
culture was for you?
Speaker 6 (46:08):
This is like there's like a two sided answer to this.
I'm gonna bring two things in a little bit, yes, okay,
of the Greek culture, because like I said earlier, I
have such strong culture. I have such strong beliefs and views,
and I have so much to share as far as
the world. Everybody has a Greek friend that they love, right.
Speaker 1 (46:29):
That's mine.
Speaker 6 (46:30):
That's mine.
Speaker 1 (46:31):
But I wish I was.
Speaker 3 (46:32):
I wish I was just in touch with with that
part of me as you are, to be honest with you,
it's quite removed from me. But I'm inspired by how
enthusiastic you are about your heritage.
Speaker 6 (46:41):
I want to help you. I'm going to take you
to Grace, but we're I'm so proud of that part
of myself and that I can share that with the world.
But well, I think being rooted in a strong culture
has given me a lot of confidence, and that's something
I'd love to share with the show. But growing up,
we didn't have, you know, our iPads and our our iPhone.
So I always watched The Girls and I was like,
(47:01):
oh wow, like I'm a little bit of all of them.
Like I'm like a little bit and a lot of
Rose Nyland, and like that's like my funny side that
I bring to the show. That I have my little
like little moments where there's a splash of Rose and
then like my little moments of Blanche where I, you know,
(47:21):
a little high back down, you know what I mean.
And that was like and then little Grandma Sophia, which
reminds me of my aunt read Or She's like cut
the bullshit, you know. And but it's like, I'm a
little bit of all those characters. But I loved watching
that show because it made me laugh and it was
fun and funny, and I loved like bringing that light
to the real Housewives of Salt Lake City is like
(47:43):
the comedic relief when you don't even know you're doing it,
but you make people happy and make people smile. And
I loved that. I just I loved that show growing up.
For me, that was a standout show. And when I
hear the theme song, like, I just get excited, it's nostalgic.
And they were like, there were housewives of that era.
Speaker 3 (48:01):
For me, well, it's an ensemble of women, you know
what I mean, when there weren't many, And I think
maybe that had something to do with it as well,
just seeing oh women interact with each other in a
time when it felt like there wasn't much of that
on television and now we were so blessed. I mean,
I think that one of the reasons why we enjoy
the Housewives so much is because we love just watching
these women interact, even it's in conflict, enjoy and all
(48:23):
these things in real specific ways to gees.
Speaker 6 (48:26):
Yes, now, I love that like captures and articulates everything
for me because it is a group of women. They're
all different, they all have something that anyone can relate to.
Like I said, like I was like a little bit
of Blanche and then a little bit of rose and
a splash of the grandma. But I love what you said.
It's like they capture every character and that is the
Real Housewives and they make us laugh unintentionally.
Speaker 4 (48:48):
Right, yeah, yeah, I see the rose in you. I
feel like you have this Betty white kind of like
softness and like and like the cute sweetness and beauty.
Speaker 6 (48:58):
Well and bowen, thank you. Like. I met her actually
and elect Or twice because with the Palmachial Schools we
fundraise and for years we raised money for Morris Animal Foundations.
So I sat with her the fundraiser we donated to her.
I have some photos office and you guys, so you
can see them. But I adore her and I read
something that she said. She was an only child and
(49:18):
it reminds me of Elektra and she would sit with
her parents at dinner and they'd have fun, funny, interesting
conversations and she said, I always wanted to interject, but
I needed to find the right moment to interject, to
be a part of my parents combo and say something funny,
and I needed it to land. And she said that's
how she learned where and when a joke would land,
(49:38):
and her perfect comedic timing. And I love that about
her because she was like so funny and she just
knew when to but she was like a little naive,
which I have that too, you know, Like I love
that about her because I think I have a little
bit of that innocence, and like, deep down, I think
everybody's like a good person, and I think everyone wants
to be my friend and learn on Housewives they don't,
(50:01):
but I like bringing a little bit of rose and
Island to the show, So that's a huge compliment. Thank you.
Speaker 5 (50:06):
I imagine that dinner escape must have been something that you
grew up with in terms of having so many siblings
and like that was a very lively environment.
Speaker 6 (50:14):
Oh yes, oh yeah. I loved coming from a big family.
And if I wasn't such an old mom, I would
have had more kids, knock on what. I was blessed
to just have Electra, even at the age that I did.
But yeah, I mean I did. I love that chaoticness.
Speaker 1 (50:27):
How is the Electra dealing with her parents being famous?
Speaker 6 (50:31):
Well, thank you. I think she secretly is loving it now.
And she said, Mom, like all these kids are like
you know, she'll tell me little things that come up
at school that people say, or I'll walk into her
school and friends will want a photo and or they'll
tell her, oh my gosh, you're famous. I saw you
in TV. And you know, she's a very mature little
girl and she's very like well composed and super confident.
(50:53):
So I think she's handling it well. But I think
she loves it. Now. She's like, oh, Mom, I don't
care that you're famous on TV, but I want to
meet Miller and can you get me a dust stage?
I want to meet George Straight. And now she's given
me a list that's so funny.
Speaker 5 (51:10):
Yes, oh yeah George.
Speaker 6 (51:12):
Yeah, I mean she so now she's giving me a
list of like, Mom, can you hook me up with
these people? And I'm like, give me a minute. But
she she loves going on watch What Happens Live. She
met Lance Bas, she met Foa her, she goes back
and brags like that's so cool for her. She just
she gets to meet different people there and me Andy.
So she's loving it all and I think she's going
(51:33):
to handle it well because she's extremely humbled down to earth.
She's very modest and yeah, she'll handle it all really well.
Speaker 4 (51:41):
I felt that when I met her, I was like
that she has it figured out very ground parents her.
Thank you, I really felt, I mean truly because that
was early on in your first full season as a housewife,
and so I went there like not knowing too much
about you, but I was like, I was Andy's full
time now great and like this is her first watch
it happens. I'm just there to sort of like just
(52:02):
be there sitting next to her. This is a big
moment for her. But meeting your family afterwards, I really
saw sort of like the fullness. I was just like, oh,
this is a wonderful mother, a wonderful wife, and a
great housewife period.
Speaker 6 (52:15):
Thank you Bone for saying that. And you know, with Electure,
it's like I think, if any kid's going to handle
fame or becoming famous or becoming continuing on the show,
she will handle it with grace and she will never
be affected by it because she's so down to earth.
But I have to say I felt like after I
watched for Raabman's Life, I did leave there like did
he like me? Did he like And it was I mean,
(52:36):
so I just can't believe I'm sitting here on your
podcast because I never knew what you said.
Speaker 1 (52:41):
I was upsessed.
Speaker 6 (52:43):
I'm so happy that you loved me because I was
sort of shy after that and I thought, what if
I follow when he doesn't follow me back?
Speaker 1 (52:49):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (52:51):
Yeah, And it was such a quick follow, and then
you sent him such great videos for the Culture Awards.
We are we are sitting with the Allison Williams Cool
Girl Award winner.
Speaker 1 (52:59):
Okay, so we have and background.
Speaker 3 (53:00):
So we were getting videos from Angie, including one from
Greedy Apropol. Can you talk about filming at the Acropolis
and what happened there when you sent when you just
want to go send in your video for the Cultural.
Speaker 6 (53:12):
Awards, You guys, I'm not joking. I almost got arrested
making that video for you guys. It is a true. Yes.
I hiked up there in the civilian clothing with sneakers.
I got up there, Sean, I went up to that
spot they were closing, the sun was setting. I tried
to time it perfectly, and I was pulling the dress
on and it was sticking because I was sweating so bad,
(53:34):
and like my boobs were falling out. I mean, I
looked high BodyCount and the boobs were kind of I
was trying to get the dress on and people were steering.
Then I started film in the video and they have
these officers in the standing room, and this guy came up.
He says, are you feeling at commercial is illegal? You
cannot film. Give me your phone and he was going
to take my phone. He was going to arrest me.
(53:55):
I said, no, no, it's just a little video for
my friend. I swear, but you're not allowed to film
up there. And I didn't know that. And I literally
almost got arrested for filming that, and and I wanted
to get it to you too in a timely manner,
but I had to. I literally landed and went up
there that night.
Speaker 5 (54:12):
You risked at all?
Speaker 6 (54:14):
Yes, yeah, I risked it all for Last Culturistas, because
you guys you gave me the Cool Girl Award and
I was in there with Ariana Grande and I'm like,
this has to be good. I'm bringing a gown, I'm
sending a video from the acropolist. I did it all.
I would have gone to jail. I would have gone
to jail that night, and thank god I didn't, or
unfortunately I didn't, because that would have been a great story.
(54:38):
Thank god, I'm like the biggest bullshitter and I'm a
great negotiater. I talked him out of taking my phone
of the community, and then, thank goodness, he didn't watch Housewives.
People were watching it seeing well, and then they were fans,
so then they started of coording me. So I went down.
I hiked down in the dress. I ran for my life.
I kept the phone and sent you guys a video
(55:01):
and I didn't make it in time, but it was
a great story.
Speaker 1 (55:04):
It didn't make it in time.
Speaker 5 (55:05):
Are we allowed to post it?
Speaker 6 (55:07):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (55:07):
Absolutely, we will be posting it.
Speaker 1 (55:10):
Yes, I will post the video.
Speaker 3 (55:11):
Finally, it is in vertical, so it's perfect for the talk,
and we're gonna get it out there.
Speaker 6 (55:18):
Think about it like I could have gone to jail
in a foreign country. It was so so I'm so
happy you're going to post it. That will make it all.
Just like the video that they made last night, I
watched Robin's life. It's these moments that make it worth
getting arrested, getting kid. I'm down for getting blown up
if it brings joy.
Speaker 3 (55:39):
No, we hope you never blow up, stay unblown up.
But what we're gonna do right now is we're going
to blow up culture. This is our sixty second segment.
It's called My God Money. So this is basically a
one minute ran Andrew where we take something apart that's
(56:00):
bothering us in the culture or anything at large. Mine
is not really pop culture or specific, but it's something
I've noticed in my travels on tour, and I I
got a shred on this one.
Speaker 4 (56:10):
Bo Okay, this is Matt Rogers. I don't think so
many as time starts now, I.
Speaker 3 (56:14):
Don't think so many thermostats in hotels. Why are they
so complicated? All sorts of people go into a hotel.
We need to dumb this down. How Come I'm arguing
and fighting with my thermostats and some of this hotel
I just wanted to be.
Speaker 1 (56:26):
Warmer or I just wanted to be colder. How Come
I'm pressing it up and it's arguing with me.
Speaker 3 (56:31):
I have not once been in a comfortable hotel this
entire time, and I feel like I'm trying to pay
for nice hotels to make myself have like a nice
experience on the road. And I think, honestly, the nicer
the hotel, the more complicated the appliances. And I'm like,
it is counterintuitive. I am fighting with toilets, I am
fighting with thermostats, and I also say a self flushing toilet, thanks,
(56:52):
but no thanks some of these showers, some of the
so I'm just trying to get hot water.
Speaker 1 (56:57):
It's crazy, It's like, and I'm comfortable. Sometimes I can't
tell the different between a little red dash and a
little blue dash. I'm serious.
Speaker 3 (57:03):
I need a big H and a big C. Please,
hotels make this easier for me. I just want to
live my life in a comfortable way.
Speaker 1 (57:10):
I can't.
Speaker 3 (57:10):
Seriously, a lot of times I don't even know how
to turn televisions off put lights on. I don't think
so any of these hotels and the appliance culture.
Speaker 5 (57:17):
And that's one minute.
Speaker 1 (57:19):
Oh man, I'm so sorry, so good.
Speaker 6 (57:22):
I agree with all of that.
Speaker 3 (57:24):
Have you ever gone into a hotel and the TV's
already on and you it's like doing like the hotel messaging,
and it's like, you know, playing it's it's it's resort
commercial or whatever it is, and you just can't figure
out how to turn it off. Sometimes they hide the
remotes on you. I swear, it's like you think you're
gonna hook yourself up with a nice hotel and it
gets harder to exist in them.
Speaker 5 (57:42):
Absolutely no, I I.
Speaker 6 (57:44):
Turn it off immediately. I don't want a.
Speaker 1 (57:46):
Case for a day's in. It's the case for a
day's in. Days didn't give it to you straight easy
to stay.
Speaker 6 (57:54):
In days in would be a low body? Can some
of the workers, maybe some of the girls, the brend
the rooms there might be high body? You know what
I mean?
Speaker 3 (58:05):
Well, honestly, I'm happy that they're in places where they
know how to turn the heat on, because I'm telling
you it's been a struggle bus.
Speaker 6 (58:11):
We're not sick.
Speaker 5 (58:12):
Are You're fighting with so much hardware? Nowhere?
Speaker 6 (58:15):
Do people do people?
Speaker 3 (58:16):
Well?
Speaker 6 (58:16):
Not after that? I'm just kidding. Do people drop the
F bombinies?
Speaker 3 (58:23):
Oh yeah, this is it's a podcast, so we've said
way filthy? Is there anything you could ever say?
Speaker 6 (58:27):
And oh my gosh, is Bowen doing one or is
it like I'm doing one?
Speaker 1 (58:31):
One is up right now?
Speaker 6 (58:33):
This is warming me up up?
Speaker 1 (58:35):
Bowen? Are you ready? Do you have something locked and loaded?
Speaker 5 (58:37):
I have something locked and loaded?
Speaker 1 (58:39):
All right?
Speaker 3 (58:39):
Well, this is Bowen Yang's final I don't think so.
Honey of twenty twenty four and his time starts now.
I don't think so, honey. I need to see the
women on the real house of Salic City. Scheme more
actively schemer, not going on the lift, not sitting down
at a picnic table having an argument.
Speaker 4 (58:55):
I want to see them hit the slopes, go around
the moguls. I want to see them actively do what
they do best. I think there's nothing more aspirational than
to see a woman looking fabulous shredding powder.
Speaker 5 (59:06):
Down the slopes of Utah.
Speaker 4 (59:08):
As a colorade of myself, I grew up kind of
aspiring towards a nice ski outfit. I finally sprung for
one this year because I'm going to say, win a
breck and Ridge for Christmas. And I finally just like
splurged on some Marcteriks ski stuff and some nice goggles
and some even helmet headphones if I want to listen
to tunes. But I need to see the women scheme more.
I just want to see their styles. I want to
(59:29):
see how they how they have hip flexer flexibility. Because
I'm going to Sundance. I'm so excited in January February.
I'm so thrilled to be at Sundance and I will
absolutely be hitting the songs and I will be thinking
of these women every single moment. I need to see
more women on Salt Lake skiing.
Speaker 1 (59:45):
And that's one I agree with you. Bowen.
Speaker 3 (59:48):
We got that one fabulous episode where I was really
a heather, especially like shredding on the slope.
Speaker 6 (59:53):
She's good.
Speaker 1 (59:54):
Are you do you identify as a great skier?
Speaker 6 (59:56):
Uh? Now, when you have immigrant parents and seven kids,
we never see My dad was dangerous. He thought it
was too expensive. We never did it. No, so now
we go with my daughter. But it's hard to learn
at fifty years old. Like, I'm scared and I just
stay on the small hills and I don't want to
break any bones.
Speaker 1 (01:00:11):
Of course I'm scared too. I know I'll get hurt.
Speaker 6 (01:00:14):
But Bonen, if you come, I mean, look, I don't
know if I was funny enough to get my contract renewed.
But if I come back and we're filming, you might
have to have a cameo because those are those are
filming seasons for us.
Speaker 1 (01:00:27):
What when during sun Dance, when do you start? Are
you allowed to say?
Speaker 6 (01:00:30):
Well, normally we start filming the end of January, beginning
of February. But I don't know if I was funny
enough to get renewed, and.
Speaker 1 (01:00:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (01:00:38):
Yes, nice reenactment of high body count hair is like
maybe saying that I did something. So if I get renewed,
maybe bone could be in solid film.
Speaker 1 (01:00:47):
You're a lot, You're a lock.
Speaker 6 (01:00:49):
I'm in.
Speaker 3 (01:00:49):
I'm literally I'm literally texting Andy after every episode being
like this Salt Lake City is everything? And Angie, I said,
have you ever been as blown away by a rise
of a housewife?
Speaker 1 (01:00:59):
And he is ecstatic?
Speaker 5 (01:01:01):
What did he say?
Speaker 3 (01:01:02):
Well, I can't say too much, but just I think
I think you're safe.
Speaker 1 (01:01:06):
I really do.
Speaker 5 (01:01:07):
I think it's very happy with all of you.
Speaker 6 (01:01:08):
I think that we have a great Cassidy. He knows it,
and so thank you. And I like the word rise.
I did have to rise up, man, they really they
took me out, Hey, Matt. Being Greek, one story you
do need to know is like from the movie three hundred,
where you know there was three hundred Greeks and one
hundred and fifty thousand Persians. Yep, and guess what, Yes,
(01:01:31):
the Greeks were not defeated. Yes they did. It's an
important story to watch. So at the bottom, I mean,
you'll notice me taking out multiple these women.
Speaker 1 (01:01:39):
It was yes you are you are the three hundred
in one person and.
Speaker 6 (01:01:42):
Then blowing up the party in leaving, I'm getting a
good hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (01:01:46):
They might just call you Gerard Butler.
Speaker 6 (01:01:49):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, So I got up.
Speaker 3 (01:01:54):
Oh my gosh, yeah, well honestly, yeah. So Bowen is
going to be in Sundance. He has a movie coming
out of Sundy. It's the Wedding Banquet. So are you
a sun dance? Are you a sun danced person? Do
you do?
Speaker 6 (01:02:04):
You know we we used to do. We used to
have a big tequila sitting in our salon. We have
a salon in Park City, Utah. So you have to
get your high body count. How many come there to
come to Park City? Yes, you guys all take care
of your high body account. Hair and we we used
to host like an event up there with hair and
tequila with Patron Tequila because our partner now, especially for
(01:02:30):
what she's been doing to me this season, but I'm
getting our partner, John Paul DeJoria, he's our partner in
Palm to the School. He owned Patron Tequila, so we
have Yeah, we had a tequila bar in our salon
with John Paul DeJoria, and he's our partner in our
cosmetology school, so we we used to host events up
there every year. But I go to meet you up there.
Speaker 4 (01:02:51):
Yes, I would love to see you, and you're going
to see you.
Speaker 6 (01:02:56):
You're going to be in a cameo on my scene
if I get Ria, if I get us, I'm there,
so we'll do a scene.
Speaker 3 (01:03:04):
Yes, Okay, is this this is the moment. This is
the moment we said we jinxed each other. So, Angie
k this are you going to show me my times?
Speaker 6 (01:03:13):
Because I talk a.
Speaker 1 (01:03:14):
Lot bone Do you have the phone?
Speaker 4 (01:03:16):
I've got it, Angie cats Davis's I don't think so, honey,
her time starts now.
Speaker 6 (01:03:20):
I don't think so honey. I don't think so honey. Look,
you know what I don't like. I don't like high
body count hair because it looks cheap. And when you
got high body count hair, your clothes look cheap. When
you got high body count hair, your shoes look plastic,
(01:03:41):
high body count hair, your face looks plastic. Everything about
you suddenly becomes cheap. People want to come to my
high end, luxurious thirty so long, but they don't want
to pay my high end prices. Look, if you want
to look expensive, girl, you got to spend some money.
Like you know when you got high body count hair
and we can see the tracks. Uh, that's that's bad.
(01:04:03):
And if you want to cheap, if you're too cheap
to come to the salut and pay to get your
hair done, then if you're gonna be bitching and from
dude in the kitchen that don't come to lunatic French
and listen. High body count hair can be sophisticated, it
can be sexy, it can have volume. But if you
don't do it right, high body count looks cheap. And
guess what if you want expensive hair, or if you
(01:04:23):
want high body count hair and you don't like your
look when you leave, we've got to get laid guaranteed
policy at my slun come back, I'll fuck you myself.
Speaker 1 (01:04:35):
Yourself, honestly.
Speaker 6 (01:04:38):

love body count.
