A Sit-Down with Stassi Schroeder

for starring on Bravo's reality TV series Vanderpunk Rules. She got married to her prince charming beau Clark back in twenty twenty. She has an adorable two year old daughter, and she's expecting her second baby. She really does it all. Please help us welcome the one and only Stas Schroeder Clark. Hello. I didn't realize you didn't know Tanya. No, I don't think we've met properly before, but I know of you, and I'm so excited to be here, so thank you

for having me here. We're so excited, I mean all, I have never known so much about Vander pump Rolls than I do right now. Yes, at this very moment, just like I think my unborn child knows all about scannable right now. Yes, while yeah, scandabal well that's what everybody's Oh wow, sorry I'm behind. Um, well, congratulations you just announced your pregnancy. Yes, thank you so much. Are you having like differences like in just like between this

one the in the first you know what? Not? Really I had a pretty easy pregnancy the first time, except I was just like maybe a little depressed because I was stuck at home. It was during COVID twenty was a rough year for everyone, and so like I felt very isolated. Um, all my symptoms in are the same, but this time I just feel really excited that I can like walk out of my house curiously, you know, in my car, go do things, just like go out to dinner. As a pregnant person is fun and new.

So yeah, you're like very different experience than the twenty twenty pregnancy. Yeah, so now I have fomo like a ton more. Like I highly recommend being pregnant, you know, during a pandemic, because like there's no missing out on anything and everyone else is at home. But is it because are you just tired more tired and you like don't want to go out? No, it's just that, like, do I really want to go out like late at night to something when I can't drink, I can't let loose.

It's like, no, I'd rather be tucked into bed, you know. Yeah, so a lot with no pregnancy would rather be touched often correct, And you think that, but like when it's like totally just like taken off the table for you, like you don't have a choice, you can't drink alcohol and like you have fun, then it just becomes a little harder to deal with because it wasn't your choice. Yeah, I could see that. Yeah, that makes sense. It's a choice. I still have the choice of, you know, if I

want to rage or not. Yeah. I just drank the other night, and I'm like, I'm never drinking again. I felt terrible yesterday. So I'll be on that for like a week or two. Then I'll be back at it. No, I'm still on it. I'm still on my like no alcohol thing. How long have you gone? Well, so it's like not really no alcohol. I was like day limited alcohol. So before I would drink every day, like you know, like the dinner, I'd have wine and things like that.

Of course I miss it. So now I'm doing it only on special occasions, which feels like I'm not drinking anymore. I think that's just like super healthy of you. I mean the hashtag balance, thank you. That's where I'm very I'm a very balanced girly right now. When you like think about your like beginning, vander Pump rules day and now you see your life now, are you like? Who is that person? No? Real talk all the time. No really, especially because I feel like it's it's having like a

little renaissance right now. Yer Pump rolls. So a whole new wave of people are watching from the beginning, and I kind of like shudder a little bit and just get so embarrassed because those people who are watching don't know what I'm like now, and so much has changed. I mean, I was twenty three back then. I'm thirty four now and my life is very different. It's it's just wild when people message me thinking that what they're watching in season one right now is who I am, right,

It's crazy. Where do you think that shift came from? Just like years? I think aging, But you know, like again, I was twenty three years old, so I had to you know, that's eleven years to grow up a little bit. But also I mean, I think stepping away from Vanner pump rolls, I got married, I had a baby, and not that I chose to step away, but meaning like, um, not being on it for so long, you have to find a way to not miss it. You have to find a way to say goodbye, and like with that

comes leading a totally different lifestyle. And you know, hitting like what you feel like is like a rock bottom moment, like it really does make you like shifty and everything about your life. That is funny thing about people watching it from the beginning now and they're like, I can't believe you said that that was weird eleven years ago. It is interesting because I feel like we talked about this a lot, and like we all kind of like attach ourselves to something, whether it's our career or a

relationship or something. Right, so like you, you you attach yourself to van Erpunt rules. When when that ends, you have this sort of like existential moment where you're just like who am I? What am I? And who do I want to be? If you feel like that kind of made you shift? And then also like did it make you kind of now change your views on how

you're going to attach yourself to things moving forward. In twenty twenty, I mean I was forced to like just look at my life and look at who I am, and what do I value, what do I stand for? And now that I'm you know, at that point I had you know, I didn't have Vanner pump rolls to keep me in that sort of lifestyle. Like it really was the world is technically my oyster for me to make decisions based on what I want. And you really do like a lot of like soul searching to figure

out what your priorities are. And you know, having a kid that changes you no matter what. You're like no longer living for yourself. Like I look back and I'm just like that's so funny, like rip, like waking up and just like thinking what do I want? And when you have a kid, you're happy to do it, like

you're happy not to live for yourself. But with like living for somebody else comes just like priority shifts, and then along with priority shifts, then like what you're interested in shifts, and so then therefore like where you go, the things you do, that all changes and you kind of just like become somebody else, whether you like it

or not? Yeah, when you what year was it that you left in or pump rolls um twenty twenty, twenty twenty yeah, And then so when when that happened, was there a sense of like, oh my gosh, I just lost this um like group of people are like being involved in this like world that like did you feel like you needed to get the gossip and like what was going on? Or did you feel like you were able to fully remove yourself? Now I tried. I tried to stay away from it for a really long time,

like that was what was most healthy for me. And even now, like it's been kind of hard, not gonna lie to like see all of this vander pump Rolls stuff come up and it's everywhere, and I'm DMed about it all day long, like I'm gonna need you to

weigh in. I'm gonna need you to weigh in, and and like at first I was like, oh, this is like interesting and crazy that this is happening, and then it kind of was like I'm having a little like triggered moment where I'm like, God, I used to live in this world for so long and now I'm like, well, I'm not even being paid for this, and I'm living like this is unfair. It is unfair when you heard the news where you like, oh my gosh, I can't

forget where I was. Where We were literally at my house and I have been cleaning out my closet because I'm turning my like my extra room into a nursery obviously, and so I'm like, well, I have to get rid of like half the stuff that I own, like I don't have that much space for it. So we were literally photographing my clothes that I'm like going to give away or sell. And I was like, holy, holy holy, And that's that's where I was. I'll tell my grandchildren

wait for Okay, can you watch Friends at all? I mean, obviously I don't watch it like religiously, but you know the gist. Yeah, could you explain the vander Pump rules obsession drama through the eye of the Friends cast? Do you get what I'm saying? That sounds like something like a professor would ask his class. I don't even know where to Friends because it was hard for me to understand because I was to me, I couldn't keep up with the Vanderpump Rules. So like so and so is

Ross and so and so. Yeah. So I'm like, but why do we, like, why are we not more mad at this guy because he had a girlfriend and the girl didn't have a Well, we are mad at the guy. Oh. I felt like the girl's getting a lot more because the girl always does, which every situation in the world, the girl always does get annoy he but no, Tom is the bad guy? Okay, okay? Has he always been? Has that undertone been there? Like the potential of him

to be this person was. I think you should start over and you should commit to Vanner Pump Rules and watch him season one and you'll see for yourself because I always felt like it was there. I mean, he never liked me, so we always yeah. Yeah, so this kind of like to me when I saw this happen, I'm like, I knew it, Like, yeah, I knew it. You're always pointing the finger at other people, You're always always like a potster. It's not that he's a potster.

He just loves to hold everyone else accountable for things and like things that like, you know, seven years ago, you were constantly dark passagering, like you need to be held accountable for that. It's like he was always holding people accountable for weird and so now it's like, oh, I think that that's something that someone does when they're the ones that should be being held accountable for something

like much more grave. That's true, like when you're always like pointing out what other people are doing and you're like never at fault. That's a red fly. Right yeah, but did did any like they were together for nine years? Right, like yeah, Arianna and Tom and so all, yes, yes, it is. Well, I'm like I see all their names and I'm like, who's who, and it's strucu. The friends exercise I thought would be very helpful confuse me even

more like that. No, think about it. It's like it's like Ross and Rachel being together, or no, let's do Monica Chandler because they were more stable Monica and Chandler being together. And then we always said that, like Katie

and Tomer, Monica and Chanler. It's just so funny to hear you say the friends reference because like since the beginning we used that reference, but now the cast has changed that we would the same the same way that like the same pairing doesn't exist anymore, right, right, Yeah, So I would say that like Tom and arian are like the Chandler and the Monica and Chandler's Tom and he just hooked up with Phoebe Phoebe, I mean no,

didn't hook up. They've been having an affair. Yeah, Like no there, Like I'm sorry, but I just have seen tiktoks of him and like him performing. I don't know, I didn't know he was a singer or whatever. And I have the worst itch, So I can't believe that Raquel is with him, like like that's my man, and I'm as stick beside him. How I don't know? Um, so when when they got together, we're are you friends with Arianna? And we're like, who's like the friend? Like

who are your friends from the show? Well, I mean we were all friendly with each other and Tom No, but like we were, we were all we hung out in the same group, you know what I mean. It's it's a really aub weird web, this like group of friends and like what it is? Um? I mean Katie Maloney is is one of my best friends. She's the godmother to my child. She was my maid of honor. Like she's like I adore her. Um, but I'm friends with like some of them, but not really all of them.

I don't know, it's like kind of I've been out of it for so long too, so I've kind of just stayed friends the people that i've three years is a long time, girls, world, Yeah, it's a long time. And when you're trying to like take a break from a to If I'm not going to be paid to be on this show, why am I going to like insert myself with when like half the cast I don't really get along with as like real friends, So why would be Yeah, why would I be there? You know,

like the group? Hey, guys, I know it's been a minute. How's everyone doing anything new happening? Would you imagine I've been offline for a minute, just chucking it? Yes, it's dassie, Yeah, I just wow. The I guess when you are the two like most hated people, like, it's easy to stick together, right because you're like, who else am I gonna? Well? I I mean I personally feel like they have to stick together. Like if I was there publicist, like I would be like, what's gonna happen now? Is you guys

are going to get married? You're gonna have a baby, because like honestly, like really like does like you can't hate on a baby, like no one can hate on a baby. You guys are gonna go do charity work in another country for a good year and then you're gonna come back. Like that's that's what I would tell them to do it. They have to get married, now, you know what? I do want your take on that I found so fascinating. Do you did you say the TMZ video that Raquel she was like in front of

a nail. So I saw that, and then I saw Spencer Pratt. I know I saw that. Dude. This is what's so annoying. Again, It's like, I'm not getting paid for this yet every time I go on TikTok, my whole algorithm, I have to like quickly get out, Like I can't watch anything vanderpump Rolls otherwise TikTok's gonna know that I watched it and then only show me vanderpump Rolls and like, get have it, get out of it. But Spencer I had to watch because I think he's

so funny. I don't know if you saw it, but basically Spencer was saying I didn't want to step in. I didn't want to say anything. But she has to go and get this coincidental TMZ video outside of the nail salon where she's looking, you know, not her best, and he was like, basically, you screwed yourself out of your contract for next year because she gave all that like spilled and it was like kind of uninteresting, but she kind of spilled and spoke to like this TMZ

camera when the reunion was that night. Okay, so I will say I could not agree with everything he said more. Yeah, it was weird. Why but why would she do that? Um? I feel like I know and I don't. I don't know why does anyone? No one's I'm not under a contract? Okay, well I know, um because it was paid so like

she worked with so she got paid for it. Okay, that's what That's what Spencer alluded to pay for that though like TMZ, I don't know whether it was TA I don't think it was, but honestly that would be genuine. Um yeah no, but that I don't know why she thought that that would be in her best interest when I would think that keeping her job on this show would be in her best interests. So maybe the money outweighed Maybe they paid her a ton more to do

that than they would even for another year contract. Um doubt. I doubt it. Really, it's that much like she's like, this is my this is how much. I mean They're like okay, no, no, yeah, but I mean I would imagine um that like Bravo's angries because the reunion was literally the next day and yeah to go. And it was so obvious that that that was planned because I every week, we all kind of know what it's like. Of course, pap Rozzi are following her so like they

could catch her where. She like that absolutely, but normally you're like, I'm sorry, I can't really talk right now. I'm sorry, I have to go, Like I'm sorry, Like right, you have that option, yeah, you don't have to sit there, right. I found it so odd. I'm like watching it, like what is going on? I was like, I feel like I'm in the twilights though. It was it was really strange. Yeah, very strange. It felt like she was doing like a sit down interview, but I'm sitting down on a curb.

It was so weird. It was weird. It wasn't like here's a little I'll give you a little something so you can post it. It's like I'm gonna give you everything. We're gonna sit and shot. I know. I feel like at some point the photographers parted like okay are you Yeah. I just feel like with her apologies, do you feel like they were sincere? But do you do you have an opinion on her as a person? Not really, I don't. I don't know her that well, so whatever, I don't

have an opinion on her either. So the sincerity you you You're just like, yeah, probably the thing is m was just a post, so like, how can you judge? Yeah, the sincerity of something. And I mean in seeing her, you know in that video was was I don't know, I didn't really know her. Yeah, yeah, it was icky. It was icky. I was like that Spencer private. It really got me thinking. I was like, yeah, I've never seen someone have a full conversation like that and answering

every question. No, never, I agree. Yeah, Um, I do want to switch to the topic really quick, because you have two of something under your belt that I've been really wanting my whole life, a New York Times bestseller, and I want to know how it feels to be a New York Times bestseller. Um, I'm not gonna lie it feels great, Like it really does. Like at the end of the day, like I know how lucky I am to be in this position because I was on

this show for so long. But then it's like anyone can put something out anyone else, anyone can put out a book or put out a podcast, and to see that it's received so well and it does so well, like that makes me feel like I'm not here just because of luck. Yeah, And so that gives me a

greater sense of purpose. I gotta tell you, going through the process, I have so much more respect for people that write books now, Like I always knew it was hard, and I always thought it was hard, but like going through the actual process, I'm like, kudos to you and the fact that you did it twice. Oh no, it sucks you. And I'm working on my third one. It sucks your soul, it really does. And then you second

guess everything, and then you also you grow and you change. Yeah, and I'm like, actually I want to change that, or like I don't feel that way anymore, but I did feel that way at a moment in time, So like should I keep it there? It's like a time capsule, I don't know, and then it just keeps you awake at night. It's it's stressful. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's totally a mind trip. I will say that for sure. Yeah. And it's like also, and I feel like maybe you

feel the same way. It's like, you work in entertainment, so you you know, you're constantly posting and sharing up. But something about being in a book feel so permanent. Yes, truly, like so finite. It's it's there, it's done. You have to answer for it. It's it's not like, oh, well I said that on a reality show or I said that on a podcast, but like did I mean it? No, you thought about everything that you've written over it, and you've checked it again and other people have checked it

AGAs well. Which are you writing a third book now? I am? When's that one coming out? Well? I'm working on it right now. Okay, so no, the date is TBD, TVD yes, And what's it going to be about? I kind of don't want to get into it. I no, No, I don't want to get into it because it's it's at the early stages, like the really early stages. Okay, so it's like not totally conceptualized. No, Well, in my yes,

in my brain it is. It's still a how it's still in the same format, it's the same type of how to book, like a basic bitch how to book, but it's it's something that I don't feel like people would expect from me, like a how to thing. And I feel like, honestly, if I'm gonna announce, it's gonna be on my podcast, not y'all. I was like, give it to us, to us, give us up that headline, QUI, Um, I wanted to talk about you, um, your husband, and how y'all met, because when you actually you know, we

we know, you know, how we have a connection. Are Louisiana roots? Yeah? Wait, hold on, it's my first boyfriend. Yes, yes, my first boyfriend, Brock. That's how. How was that? How we met at? Like I think we met at an event or something and somehow we started talking about it and we really like a connection. He went to high school. Oh I thought you dated him too. I was like, WHOA so crazy? Like how small the world? I know?

But um, I was going to ask you about when you met bo, Like, was there a moment when y'all met that you were like, oh my gosh, this is the this is the guy. No oh no, honestly, and I think that this is its something that's like important to talk about because so many of my friends, like who were still single, they they're like, oh, well, I met this person, but I don't have that like feeling or like I mean, I had that feeling of being attracted to him. But we dated very casually for about

six months. Like I did everything differently with him that I had done before. Like I feel like every other relationship I had it was like we met it's passionate, it has to be passionate, or like it's not the right thing, and it was so intense, and every single relationship I had before him was so unhealthy. So I wanted to take everything slow and and I really just like got to know him as a person and I

didn't put any pressure on it. And then eventually, like after we decided to like commit ourselves to each other, I was just like, God, like, this is my best friend. Like it's not just like chemistry, it's not it's not just like oh, like I just want to like hook

up with him. I did. I wanted all those things, but like he became my best friend, and I felt like that was the moment that was when I really was like I can see my life with him, because like we would that that friendship is there, that respect is there, that like if all else goes away, we still have that foundation. Yeah. Yeah, I do think it's important to talk about because I think a lot of times I will say when I met my girlfriend it

was like this, it was like instant like and that's great. Yeah, but I think that a lot of people wait for that and they're like they go on one date or two dates and they're like, oh, it's not this immediate thing, and they write someone off where it's like it might be a slow burn and it might be that like you are building a foundation that's deeper than like immediate like lust or passion or whatever it is. Yeah. No,

I think it's so important. Again, it's like, oh, my friends say that they complain about that that well, I don't know. We've only been on a couple of dates. But like I'm like, just give it a few more chances, like really try and get to know this person. Like you never know, like you really never know. Do everything differently than what you've done before. That's true. Patterns. Patterns are the they're the worst but they're hard to break. Like a lot of people just like going to the

pattern that they're hard to break. Those patterns no where they are. I get it. I get it. Would you ever go on a reality show again? Yeah? I think so. I think it's like in my blood. I just feel like I've done it for so long. I mean that's where I met Brock, my first boyfriend. I was like on The Amazing Race when I was sixteen years old, and I just like haven't stopped since, so like I don't really know anything anything else. I mean, I haven't done it in three years, but I feel like it's

like riding a bike. So yeah, if the situation was right, I think so. I totally forgot about The Amazing Race and I just didn't I was so ugly, and so during COVID we got into like I guess we watched a season and we're like, there's so many of these seasons, let's just go watch them. And I was like, oh, like I had a family friend that was on the show, so we watched. I was like, oh my god, all babies on the show. No. I was like, so want to be goth, but wouldn't fully commit to it. So

it was like half in, half out. You couldn't it was no, not the vibe, not the vibe. What would be your dream show to be on? You know? I have y'all watched Special Forces? It's on, Yes, I told you about that. It's like an army like military show where they like, like what you're talking? I could see you. No, no, no way, that wouldn't be the one that doesn't sound like that character. I have some you know, you know,

it's been thirty four years of building character. Enough character, Okay, fine, what show would you if you were like, oh, that would be a really such a dream show would be like Stanley Jucci show Finding Italy. That's what it's called, right, Yeah, if I could just go travel and like try food, try food, like learn about and even if it wasn't just food, it's like, well, I love Italy. My hu has been is a dual citizen, so he he has a right, so he has an Italian citizen citizenship, and

so my daughter will I have to like whatever? Yeah me, but like I would just love to go and live my life, like exploring Italy with my family and and just like learning about everything. And if that could be filmed, cool, that would be like a dream show. Bravo. Are you listening? Yeah, Bravo, who fired me? Are you listening? Art for Sauce, a tourism food trying show with the fam Wholesome Wholesome Show.

We're bringing some wholesome stuff to Bravo, No beca. Do you know what I've realized ever since I watched the Megan and Harry documentary. Oh no, I am no. I love Megan and Harry. One of those okay, one of those people. Okay, But what I realized after watching it was like I am starved for wholesome television. Like I am like it's all so just like backstabby and just like women fighting and just like taking each other down.

And I'm like every moment that I saw them with Archie or I just saw them just like loved up, I was like, I'm I'm starving to watch this, Like I want to see this on my screen. I want more wholesome TV. I want to watch it come to my house. We watched a lot of wholesome tells. Where's It TLC? Yeah, no, next Level Chef, I watched Crime Scene Kitchen, I watch What's the Physical one hundred um.

We watched The Mole. That's more like, I haven't heard of any of the shows you just listed the one the one she didn't list that is her main one is low Okay, that's not wholesome. It's not Yeah, it's not wholesome. That's why didn't mention it, but to say, like Lego Masters, I also watched Legs also like dumb is it cake? Which cake? Um? So yeah, just come on over. I can give you a whole list of what do you have because you have host your own podcast, is there any like would you want to host? Like

is there anything interesting too in that to you? I mean, I really enjoy hosting, but I'm kind of just taking my career like one step at a time. I think one thing I learned over the last three years is is that I don't have to like have a hand in everything. I'd be Like before twenty twenty, it was like what more can I do? What more can I do? Like this brand deal, touring, now, this this It was just like everything all at once, and life doesn't really

have to be that way. So I kind of just like take one thing at a time and like hope that I'm doing a really good job of it and just like slowly let things unfold, like's hosting fun? Yeah? Is it like my ultimate dream? I'm not sure, but like if the right thing happened or came, you know, maybe yeah. Yeah, you just announced your tour they did. How do you feel about doing that whilst pregnant? Yeah, okay, so that's I'm honestly most excited. I excited for that.

So at first I put off getting pregnant because I knew that I wanted to tour the Spring and I was like, this is horrible, but like, but we love drinking so many apple sprits and we're on tour. It's like a party, Like, you know, my husband's there, my best friend Taylor, she tours with us because she opens for me, and so like it's it's just really fun to be touring. And I'm like, I can't do that. What if I get pregnant. I got pregnant, and I was like, you know what, Like, no, this is gonna

be a whole new experience this time. And I feel way more motivated than I was the last time that I toured, and I feel like I'm just excited to challenge myself and like to be able to say like I did it, prig it not pregnant, but doing our live shows with a little a little drinking us too, so I get of course, yeah it's fun. I had a moment a couple of weeks ago where I went to a show and it was like really late and I didn't drink at all, and I was like, I

had a great time, did you? I can't see? That makes me so excited because I think there's like this this idea that we have to have that buzz or whatever to like enjoy idea. It's like the fact for me. For me personally, I'd like to calm down the nerves because I do get really nervous before every show, Like I can't talk to anyone, you know. I know lots of people that tour and they're like, come to my green room before the show, and it's like a bunch

of people. I'm like, how the fuck are you doing this? Like before I go on stage, I'm like, no one talked to me. I'm like, I get nervous because I really care. Yeah, and so like drinking April spritzes or like some rose like that helps. So now I'm just I can't do that. Ye, maybe a mocktail and you're like placebo effect kicks. No, mocktails are so lam just on the best mocktail, it's like wasted calories. I'd rather eat some cake too, What about cake with a mocktail? No?

Okay no, But do you like being pregnant? I thought no, I so so I thought I did, like before I got pregnant again. I think you just forget that you don't like it truly. Yeah, like right now, last night I said to my husband and I was just like, this is so like not the vibe, and like I can't wait to not feel like this again. But what's

the feeling? I think it's just like the not having control over your body and like watching it just change in so many ways, and and like well, like I know, you know, my husband still thinks I'm beautiful no matter what, and all that it's not my version of how I like to look, and and that's just really hard to deal with. And like I'm hungry all the time, and it's like so it's like I can't deny this baby food.

You can't like diet, you can't. It's just a weird It messes with your mind to like not have control over your body. Yeah, well it's just not yours, Like it's not all just based on what you want now you know, it's like you're literally keeping this thing alive. Yeah, and it's like getting dressed every day and then you know you're constipated and then like it's just like all of these things. That's it's a thing. Just like you know, it's like a thing that I complain about a lot,

Like it's a lot not everyone. We all like, I don't get sick. I've never thrown up because I was pregnant, Like I've never that hasn't been my journey. But yeah, like constipation has been a journey. That's not a journey that I I've heard like after giving birth, like through if you're like you know the medications and stuff, but

I didn't know what happened during this part. That's how have you seen the girl at the list on TikTok of like reasons why I won't be having a baby And she'll see a TikTok and then stitch it and write it down on her because it'll be like that. It'll be like you can tear up to your buttle and she's like add it to the that's funny. No, TikTok hasn't served me that pump rolls right now? Well, say mine is that? And you know my dog one of Paltrow. Yeah, oh I'm so into that right now.

Right now, I just want to like say to everyone every time I talk to someone and just be like, well, I lost half a day skiing, so I lost half Dave skiing the next time anything goes wrong, but I lost half a Dames. Yeah, it was very into it. I cannot stop watching her in the witness stand. So you're like watching it the way I watched Amber Heard and Johnny Dupp. Yes, okay, Like I was in a in the car, like we were driving to like pump Springs or something, and I literally had to have my

phone watching it live, like the whole entire trip. So it's only when she's in the witness stand. I'm not so keen on the other people. Yeah, just her. She's pretty funny. I mean she's funny, like seeing her in that position. Yeah, weird. The lawyer off here the questions, Oh yeah, she was strange, very strange. Um do you have any opinions of um just hot topics that have come up? Harry styles and em Rada. Have you seen the video? Yes, of course I was in the video.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what's on your feed. Oh that's on my feed. Yeah, no, it's on my feed. Um how to say? I feel like it's a good match. No interesting, No one likes it. No one likes it. I can see that in the comment section. No I like it, but you know, he he um. She was his celebrity crush and that's what makes me like it even more. It's like, okay, so he like kind of manifests manifested her. This is what

I don't like about it. It's giving a tinty bit of raquel because I saw that, like she hangs out with Olivia Wilde and like they've all hung out together. So I'm like, well, don't get Becka started on that started. There was a blind item on Dumois. There was I saw that too, So Dumas doesn't always get it right, so we don't know that's true. That's true, like that,

I feel like they get it right pretty often. Okay, but like I kind of just feel like two really hot people that like could wear really cool outfits and give us lots of street Style inspiration What's not to love? Yeah, I was like shocked by my when someone sends it to me, my feeling about it. I was like, I don't know that. I don't know these people. I don't care. Why did my heart sink? Like Harry Styles, I'm not

like I love him. I love his music. I think he's so cute, but like, I'm not like I'm gonna marry Harry stuff. That is so funny that you had that reaction. And I don't even care that much, But why did my heart? I gotta I gotta talk about in therapy because like there was a it was an unexpected feeling. I'm processing it. I love him a lot. My love goes deep for Harry Styles. I'm sorry happy. I just wanted to do though. So I don't know

if she's going to be that for him. I mean, do you think that I don't know that this is going to be like a relationship or you know, if it does turn into a relationship, I could see it being like the Kim and Pete thing. Yeah, where it's like it's for like a chunk of time. It's fun for everyone. It's exciting for us to like watch a viewers but like, are they going to get married? I

don't know. I feel like she's making up for lost time because she was married for like most of her career, and so she's like, I could have been literally dating all of these cool hot celebrities. I didn't, Yeah, and now I'm going to now yeah. Or it could be like the Emroda Pete Davidson. I forgot that. I forgot that that even happened. Yeah right, She's just like going, you know, she's like, who's hot right now? Great Emerda is Pete Davidson. Yeah, she is the Pete Davidson. I

didn't come up with that on my own. I saw that. I can't take full credit for that one. Um, when you get asked about like um Vander pump Roule stuff, does you're like, do you get just like h or you like that was a really like this is a fun thing to talk about for me because I'm not in it anymore. Okay, it's a fun thing to talk about privately, so like when my neighbors text me about

it or something like. I think it's fun, but I do have a little anxiety like being here been talking about it really publicly because I know that um, it will then be turned into like a headline and it'll look like I'm just like doing a press tour about vander pump Rolls, which I think is like kind of thirsty and embarrassing. So like this isn't like the normal way I talk about it. I normally like just do it like behind everyone's backs. Yeah, you know. Yeah, it's

like you're like text gossip. Yeah I get that. Sorry, we made sure kind of you uncomfortable like talking about it, you know how it is. It's like things that they just everything always looks not how you intended it to be, Like the headlines always just see and then people don't actually listen, so they're like they just get a snippet of like what it. Yeah, and then it's like Staci's still thirsty because she's like doing podcasts now talking about

Vanner pump Roules. It's like that's not why I was there. Were there whatever Harry Styles And yeah, I was there to talk about Harry Styles. Okay. It is so one of those things, and like it's I wouldn't even say that. I am like, oh, I don't watch the show, but I know so much about the show and the people

on the show. More than I ever have because of it's like you almost can't talk about it, and especially being a part of the show for so long, it's like it's a it's a delicate like balance of like acknowledging it and not letting it become like the only thing that like people see when they look at me. Yeah, well, I think you're I think you've done a really good job with your separation from the show of you're writing books,

you're doing the podcast, you're a mom. I mean, there's like so much that you're like separated, but you're not like what, I'm gonna go deep on you here, Okay, what do you want people to see when they look at you? Oh? That is so so deep? You know, we're the headline grabbing podcast. We're like the deep down. Can't Yeah, oh god, I don't know. I mean I feel like I want people to look at me and and be like, you know what. No, Like, she is

a good person, and she's a great mom. She's a good wife, and she's good at her job, and she hasn't like totally lost her head. She's still like a little like you know, like mildly evil, Like if you had had to make her evil, you know, like you know, just like still like somewhat edgy, Like I haven't like

fully lost it and turned like I'll live laugh love. Yeah, No, I don't see you as love laffla, thank you, m. I haven't really thought about it, but I think I just don't want people to think that vander pump rolls and drama is the only thing I'm good for. Like, if I don't have drama in my life, then what then I'm worth riving? Right, you know? A moment of silence. No, because no, I do like a lot of self work. I read like a lot of self help books, and

I'm always asking myself these like really intense questions. But I find it interesting because I'm like, if you don't know what you want people to see, how are you supposed to like live that out. That's a good point, Okay. I guess I didn't like fully mean the world word evil. I kind of just meant like, yeah, okay, I'm still cool and edgy. I'm still hip, all right, Yeah, yeah, Like I still have a little bit of a dark side. I like where you would do edgy. I feel like

he really leaned into that role. I love because I love dark things. I love witchy things. I love horror movies. I love haunted houses. I love spooky things. My daughter like her first word, I'm you not with skull, Like I'm not joking. She knew the word skull before like any other word. Um, she loves halloween. We just like I don't know. I'm just like I've always been like really interested in spooky things. The semi goth girl from Amazing Strong. Yeah she's come a long way. Yeah, Um,

what I wanted to say? Where can people follow you on Instagram? Are you popping? Like do you like pop off on TikTok or do you a TikToker? I um and a TikTok observer. I post every now and then, but like I'm really into TikTok. I love scrolling, I love watching. But I'm not somebody that posts all the time.

It's like so daunting, Like people are like I'll tell you how to do it, like you have to post five to eight times a day, and I'm like, you guys are working batch crazy if you think I'm gonna do that, like your TikTok, like your Instagram stories, I'm like, oh no, I overthink everything I post on TikTok, and I spend so much time on it. I'm like, I'm gonna make this montage of me and my daughter in Paris to like a renaissance like music, and like literally

five people like it. I just spend six hours on that. No, it is so funny when the videos like, do you want to know how to grow your TikTok, here's what you have to do eight times a day, Yes, every day for one year. Yeah, and you might grow. It's insane. Yeah, you might. It's insane. There's no Well, we appreciate you coming on here. I'm sorry that we asked about vander Pump, but thank we made you uncomfortable. You guys did not make me uncomfortable. Get it like you. It's like you.

And to be honest, I feel like a lot of people that are from the show have been like this my moment to like get it out there. So I think it's fair to not one. But it's not even I think the thing is it's it's in reverse. It's not like like you have other stuff going on, so you do press you. It's just a byproduct of the fact that you were from this show. And it's literally everything I know and I think I'm overthinking it right now, your person ourselves, but like I've had to learn to

overthink so it is. You did not make me uncomfortable whatsoever. This was so much I really myself. But I swear, if people think you're thirsty, then Mike, I think you're doing all right. If that's like the worst people think, you know what I mean, Like all right right, not really, I don't know. I don't want like, I don't want to be thirsty. Nobody does what I'm saying out of everything else, Like there's worse things worse. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

there's worse things. Yeah. I don't think exactly that's true. You could be doing sit down interviews with DMZ. Yes, that's a that's a good point. You're gonna get that money, the whole what did you say, like a whole year's contract worth? Yeah, one interview too. I don't think that's accurate anything. Um. Where can people find you on social media? Um? On Instagram at stas Schroeder. I guess it's the same on TikTok. If you want to give me a follow

and see a TikTok like once every three months. Um, that's it. If people want to go to my tour. It's Stacy Schroeder dot com slash the Mommy Deers Tour, and they can listen to my podcast Stripe with Stacy anywhere. And then I have a second podcast, The Good, The Bad, the Baby on Patreon, so that's patreon dot com slash stac Oh. Wow, Like I can love it really and I feel so much safer there, Like I feel like I can say whatever I want and like it doesn't

really matter because it's behind a paywall. I know. I've been thinking Stacy's got my brain well, like I have, Like I have my public one and then I have a more private one, so it's like I feel like it's the best of both worlds. Yeah, you're you're a busy, busy woman, and thank you for your time. Thank you guys. We can't wait to see what's next. And are you coming to LA for the show? Yes? On my birthday.

Actually it'll be my thirty fifth birthday June twenty fourth at the Ace Hotel downtown and so I'm just like really going to lean in. Yeah, yeah, hopefully we'll be there cheering you on. I would love to have sober make it all around you. Thanks Jussie, thank you,
