Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hey guys, and welcome back to another episode of Giadiaries.
We are here in Las Vegas and Bravocon is finally here.
I feel like we've been talking about this for the
past I don't even know couple couple weeks month, and
it's actually here, and it's pretty crazy. You see everybody

(00:23):
and anybody, and the vibes are high. You're honestly running
off of adrenaline at this point. Because the vibes are
so high. You have to keep the energy and you
constantly have to be on. And I think that's what
is the most exhausting part about Bravocon, because you can't
miss a beat. You have to constantly be on, constantly

(00:46):
beyond your a game. And there's lots happening this Bravo
Con for me obviously, you guys can see I'm filming
podcasts for Casual Chaos Dirty Rush. Casual Chaos also has
a booth in the Bizarre, so make sure to check
out my booth if you guys are at Bravocon. There's
gonna be Casual Chaos waking up in the morning merch

(01:08):
and if you peeped my Instagram story, those sleeping masks
will be sold at the booth. So I am so excited.
We are filming for season two of Next Gen. There's
so much going on, and I am so excited for
this weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
But I really do have to give it to Retrofet.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Because I was running around New York yesterday working doing things.
Something in my gut told me to run into Retschrofet,
and so hoo, I went into Retrofet.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
I just decided to buy three dresses because I was.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Like, you know what if I go home and none
of these dresses work work out, I'm going to have
no clothes for Bravo Con. So I decided to buy
the three dresses. They are stunning and they are currently
with me now in Vegas. Moral of the story, I
would or maybe fifteen dresses. I liked one of them,
so thank god I went to retro Fete. Otherwise I

(02:06):
would have had no clothes up Bravocon and I would
have been screwed.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
My mom.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
I was on FaceTime with her today and she's trying
on her outfits right now. I was like, couldn't be me,
and she was yelling at me last night that I
was impact I wasn't ready, and she's scrambling right now
trying to figure out some outfits. But she's gonna look
amazing because that's how she always does it. But I

(02:34):
have lots of panels this weekend. I have a panel
for next Gen. I have a mother daughter panel with me,
my mom, Arianna, and Kim Zolciak. I have an opposite
a tract panel with some other Bravo lebs, And the
one that I'm most excited for, Obviously, I'm excited to

(02:54):
celebrate next Gen because this is our first official Bravocon
as a cast, which is really cool. We're nominated for
a Rookie Award, so I really hope we win. But
I'm also really excited for the mom and daughter panel
because my mom and Kim Zolciak have never officially met
and hung out before, and I honestly think they're.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Gonna hit it off and have such a good time.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
So I'm really excited for those two panels, I have
to say. And yeah, I guess I'm excited for the
Bravos because I really hope we win this Rookie Award.
I think Next Gen surprised a lot of people. We
had five point four million views on our first episode.
We were the highest premiered show on Bravo, And I

(03:41):
think that says a lot. And I think we were
all underestimating ourselves. We all didn't think that that was
going to happen. When we saw those numbers, we were shocked.
And going into season two, all I can say is
buckle up, because if season one did that good, season
two is gonna just blow it out of the park.

(04:04):
And I can't wait for you guys to see that.
None of my siblings, unfortunately, are here. They are at school.
They they're at school. Yeah, they're you know, learning.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Right now.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
So far, while being at Bravocon, I haven't seen many people.
I honestly landed and started working immediately, so I was
filming a little bit and now I'm podcasting. So after this,
I'm going to meet up with my cast and have
a night and enjoy some time with them. I think

(04:42):
this experience is honestly more exciting for me. I think
it could definitely be stressful for some people, especially if
it's their first Bravocon. I'm sure some people on my
cast are stressed, or if you are coming into Bravocon
knowing that you have tension with people. I actually came
into this Bravocon feeling really good. My family is in

(05:07):
a really good place right now, and we're making moves
to just, you know, find peace and reconcile, and I'm
really happy. I'm also just in a really happy place
in my life right now.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Special Forces.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
The eighth episode came out last night, so you guys
are gonna find out if I made it into the finale.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
But I don't know.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Just a lot of exciting things in my life right now,
so I'm I guess you could say when.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
You feel good, it really projects.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
And I'm feeling good, So Bravocon really isn't that stressful,
and my outfits are good. If my outfits weren't good,
I think I would definitely be stressed. But I'm not
too stressed. I'm having fun and I'm super super excited.
What's something you wish so one would have told you
in advance about Bravocon.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
I guess I don't know. I don't know how you
can prepare yourself for this. It's just exhausting. I think
that's the biggest thing. It's exhausting.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
It's a lot of work, and the more effort you
put into Bravocon, I think the more it pays off,
which is why I'm really excited this year to have
casual chaos and waking up in the morning, merch at
the Bizarre, and have my own booth. It just kind
of shows how where my life's heading and what direction
I'm going in really finding my independence and just being

(06:43):
on my own. I think I'm just kind of in
this lalla land right now, moved into my apartment. Things
are good in my life and I'm really happy Christians
flying currently to Bravocon. So it's you know, it's really
nice to have him coming to support me, because is
sometimes it's hard when your partner isn't used to this

(07:04):
world and didn't sign up for this. But he really
does show up for me whenever he needs to and
whenever it's necessary for me and for my career.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
He's always there to support me.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
And I know that's a lot because for somebody to
come into this world when it's obviously not what they're
used to and not what they signed up for, it
could definitely be overwhelming. Like I know for a fact,
things like this make him nervous. Even filming makes him nervous.
But then once he's here and once he's doing it,

(07:39):
or once he's filming. He's awesome, and I don't have
a worry in the world about what he's going to
say or what he's going to do, because it, honestly,
it really does come natural to him.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
But I think it's.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
Just making your person feel secure, and he definitely has
felt that from me, and I'm just really happy to
have his support here at Bravo Con this weekend. So
that is all for this week of geodiaries.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
Until next time, Love you guys. Bye.
