I put with Alexi Napola and Mari saw Patton an iHeartRadio podcast in morning, Bro, good afternoon, get.
The got you sound like it?
Yeah? Too much parting? Bro? No, I literally you know, I don't go anywhere. I stay home and the one time I go out, I get sick again.
That's why you're like the babies. You need to go on more. You know, like the parents that don't take out their babies because they're afraid they're going to touch something. That's my dad. Then you go out and touch something because me and I was at the same event as you, and I'm good, I know what.
I was already sick and then I was better. And then Michael, it just grabbed me again. You just grabbed me by the ankles and shook me upside down. Yeah.
You know, we'll revive you.
Yeah. Well, and you know here I am so anyway, I'm quite I'm quite dull today. But to try and be pappy and festive, that's easy for you. We have a lot of great things to talk about today. We do. I'm excited about our hot topics and.
Yes we Galliente the other super Galliene, super Galliente, Mcalliente yeahs Andy Cohen, I hap, I.
See though that we love so much.
We love it and we feel terrible that we even have to talk about this, But I actually want to talk about this because you know, I'm very proud of him and that he's coming out and defending himself.
Yeah.
Yeah, So, Antie Cohen rips Liah McSweeney suit as a shakedown, and she called him a bully as lawyer's trade blows. Auntie Cohen is calling former Real Housewives of New York City star Leah McSweeney's bombshell lawsuit against them a shakedown and claims that McSweeney is trying to force an unjustified settlement with the Bravo host, But McSweeney's attorneys told Page six that his response is just an attempt to bully
alleged victims like McSweeney into siance. Cohen's lawyer caused the cocaine allegations categorically false and writes in a letter to McSweeney's legal team seen by Page six, mister Cohnes never used cocaine with any cast member on any Real Housewives show or with any other Bravo employee. Cohen's lawyers say in their letter that the suit is littered with false and offensive and defamatory statements about Cohen and tells her legal team, we demand that you immediately retract and withdraw
all allegations relating to mister Cohen's purported cocaine use. Addressing McSweeney's attorney, the letter adds the allegations were obviously made up by you and or your client to achieve maximum tabloid clickbait true value in the hoops of weaponizing these false allegations along with other lies that permeate the complaint as leverage to force an unjustified settlement.
Oh yeh, this sounds very familiar. Yeah, false, an offensive and defamatory statements.
It's a scary world that we're living in today that you can, you know, just say these crazy allegations with no proof and just put them out there, because you know, I feel like the more they put them out there, the more people start listening and believing them with no ruth.
I know, And I think the more that they are allowed to keep coming and lying and saying things that it's encouraging more of that behavior and even more outrageous lies. One hundred percent. Well, I think it happens.
I mean, I think it's something that's happening, you know, on a daily basis here, you know, in America, and it's the world that we're living in today that you know, people take advantage of, you know, people that are in the public eye and are in powerful positions, and in return, they just want money. And you know, sometimes people decide to stay quiet, you know, and they think it's either going to go away or maybe you know, they just
want to settle, you know. And that's why I'm so happy that finally Andy's like, no, I'm not going to do this. I'm not going to settle because these are all fast, false allegations and I'm going to fight back and I'm going to defend my name as he should.
He should, he should. And by the way, you know, I believe that he's never you know, done any kind of illegal drugs with because he's a professional with any employees or people that he works with.
Yeah, I mean, first of all, Andie knows how all these housewives are, right, we can't keep the secret. Nobody's seeking your secret in the housework world. So why would he think that he's you know, exempt from any of this.
Yeah, he's I mean exactly, but.
The fact it's scary meraw So the fact that you know, any of these women you know, can make up lies, you know, about somebody like him, and even ourselves because you know, I'm also defending myself. I'm also defending myself because there has been a lot of false allegations you know, about all of us, you know, And the fact obviously we don't get as much attention as our Hifa does because you know, he's the Hiffe and he's said to Cohen,
and that's what America likes to see. They like to see take down the big guy, right, and in his case, you know, it's not gonna have because we're all defending him, you know, the women that nobody right, you know, the women that have worked with him for so many years and that we've known him, we've never seen any type of behavior that's been inappropriate.
Right.
And the fact that she, you know, started all of this after she was not asked back, you know, for the reboot of New York, but she ran to Taireland with us, she did, and I don't know what she was doing there truthfully, because I mean, they gave her the opportunity to be there, and she did absolutely nothing with it. And you know, and it's not about ratings like she likes to say, Oh, it's about ratings. You know,
they wanted me because they wanted my story. No. I mean, we're all adults, and you need to take responsibility for your actions and your behaviors. And I am tired of these women that are in the same platform as us that are not being accountable and they're not taking responsibility because we're all adults. We all sign this contract, all know what we're doing, and we only share what we want to share.
So right, and the complaints that she's made were about the way she was treated when she was on Housewives of New York. I don't know why she begged for a job to go to Thailand, or even if she didn't beg for it, she took it and took the money and took the job to then turn around a year later after she realized she wasn't going to be on the new edition of Housewives of New York to sue.
She wants to blame production now and the show and the network for her and you know, material like struggles because I mean, she she has been public about her struggles with sobriety and by the way, nobody makes you drink. I've been part of this since twenty ten, I know, and I drink when I want to drink, When I don't want to drink, I don't want to drink. It's just like any social setting. Rights we go out and we're in our friend group, like we were at that
lunch the other day. There was a table full of alcohol, right like in every other social setting, whether or New York or any other city, and we have to choice whether you drink or not.
So if she knew that, if she felt as though there was a pressure to drink, why did she go to Thailand? It's the you know what I mean? Why why did she take the job?
Right? So, yeah, so I'm very happy that, you know, he finally he took some time, as you should, and said, you know what, I'm going to go out there and defend my name because who the hell are you to take advantage of this and make this something so public?
And he's not bullying her at all. And again I think that sometimes you don't want to give it light, right, so you think about it and you're like, you know what, maybe just sometimes you know, I'm just gonna stay quiet, let the other person say whatever they want to say, and it'll just either, you know.
Go away.
And that's what probably Leah thought. Leah probably thought, well, you know what, we'll do it quietly. We'll do it in the court and nobody will find out about it, and I'll get some money and I'll walk away and that's it. But so I am so proud of him, and I'm so happy that he said, no, you know, I am. I'm going to sue you, you know, and you're you know, and that's it. I'm going to sue you.
And you know, at one point you have to put your foot down because after her, there's going to be another one and then another one and then another one. And it's not you know, Nbcason one big wallet to pay out people that no longer have a job. But then new why should they? Why should they prove it?
Like? Why should they? And what does this have anything? What just and these life has anything to do with you?
If you're if you're smart and you're on one of these shows and this is your only gig, you need to have a plan B. You need to know that one day it's going to come to an end and you need a plan. B. This can't be your your everything, your only thing. And apparently she was banking on that, so it could be whatever, but people should not. I mean, there has to be like a law. Maybe some laws will come out as a result of this, because it's not.
Only anti call handy law. Yes, but there has to be like a law to protect people, you know, like us, like there were that were in the public eye that people could just go out there, you know and put it on their social media or on a podcast and be you know, so irresponsible with their words and accusations that affect your life, affect your livelihood, affect a reputation.
Like I'm just I have a really hard time with this.
And when I first started reading about this and finding out about this, I was living because you know, this can happen to any of us. Unfortunately it's happening to him. You know. I don't think anybody deserves it. And you know, after all these years and if you see her history, like I said, she's just doing this now because she's not on the.
Show, really wondering it's the end for her. There was nothing left for her. New York was over and there was no show left for her. Her last opportunity was one out.
Yeah, and it's usually, like you said, the same character is the women that always exhibited these kinds of behavior.
She just really pisses me off. I mean, she hasn't stopped. I got dragged by her too, and that whole Vanity Fair article, I mean it was ridiculously.
He I told you I'm really good with judge of character, and I told you we were going on the Ultimate Girls trip and you each out to her. I told you the la gun and you just sent her like a nice place.
She's gonna say something to somebody, And she told our producer exactly, Well, that's what I mean.
God means she's going to turn on you in the sense that she's gonna blob on like whatever you told.
Her, and that she's having a very nice, smart conversation. But what can I tell you?
So I feel like she's been very strategic, very calculated with you and with everyone else. It's like she knows exactly what she's doing, and unfortunately, you know, don't.
Blow it's all blowing up in her face because I don't see one person supporting her, Like nobody one out of should they say, should.
They support a person that has no proof, that's just blobbing off whatever, like one out of.
A hundred will be like, well maybe that was her experience.
Yeah, but what was her experience? You know, she's tried to throw so many things out there. Remember the Ultimate Girls Trip, she said that while she was filming and her grandmother was dying, that lady let her leave and go see her grandmother. Like, who's gonna believe that? Like, you know, I have been in that situation. Unfortunately with my son Frankie. When I went, Frankie got into the accident, and I had a contract and I told Andy and the producers and the network guys, I can't do this.
I'll give you back the money, I'll give you back my contract. I need to step I just cannot show up at these events. I can't do my job. And they were like, Alexia, we support you and your family. You need to do what's right. The right thing is for you to be there with Frankie and your family. Don't worry about the show, don't worry about us. You come whenever you want. You share whatever you can share.
The psychologically and emotionally, I couldn't do it. And the network and Andy and the producers couldnot be any better with me. I mean, I will always always appreciate and love that. And yeah, and I even felt bad because I have got paid the same as everyone else.
And I was like, but I don't deserve this.
I wasn't there, I didn't work, and they're like, no, you you did, and you did the right thing.
So to me, that's been my experience. That really made me mad when she made those accusations. I was violently angry because you know, I too, and my.
Mother I already didn't want to show because we gave you know, already reached out to us, t Marisol, to myself, to other ladies that had been on the Ultimate Girl's Trip with Ia. And that article was so one sided because I said, you know what, that's her experience, and it was so one sided. It was all about her and her experience. Well what about all the other one hundred and forty nine housewives that have been on shows?
Yes, well I have an example too, which I gave when I did when I had my interview with the article right when we started season three. The two days afterwards is when my mom had her stroke and she was in ICU. The whole time, and they were like, you know, don't worry about it. You come and go
as you as you please. We're supportive of you. And my mother used to get paid to as much as the housewives, and they sent a paycheck for her too, even though she was in ICU the entire time we filmed it didn't show up one day off the sea. She couldn't show up. I mean, she had a major stroke. And when Leah told us that story, I was like, that's a flat out lie. Yeah, it was hard that she didn't want to be treated. Yeah, nobody makes you do anything you don't want to do. We're coming ass women.
We can get up and go and they know that. But Leah chose to stay for whatever reasons, because she didn't want to, you know, miss the moment or the opportunity and what she said, she didn't go. And by the way, just in case the audience listening is thinking, well, maybe it's a different production company, different producers, she had the same producer that you and I had, Alexia, And all right, it was the same one. It was. It was, yeah, he's all over the article too.
Oh well, you mean the executive producer to the show cur new York was the same one that we had when Frankie the accident, my mother had the stroke, same person in charge right on the same show. So yeah, right now in different production companies, right.
Right, but the same person in charge, yes right, yeah, worked, he moves around and works with different companies. So just again, you know, I think it's just excuses.
And then again for me for season four, unfortunately, you know, my mom, you know, got sick and got COVID and I was getting married and all that was happening. And when that happens, I remember we were doing our pictures, our cast pictures for season four, and I got the phone call from the hospital and from my sister and
the producers. I was doing my glamor, and I remember they're like, Alexia, get in a car right now, you have to go to the you know, just forget about all this and and you know, forget about the pictures. We'll make this happen, you know another day. You need to go by your mom right now. And they put me in a car, they picked everything up for me. I went to the hospital. I was with my mom, and I did not film again. That's how my season ended, you know, the funeral and that's it. So like, that's
why it's so hard for me to believe that. And I really have a hard time with people like and everything in life. This is just general right that people always want to talk about the bad and the negative and they never want to highlight the good and the positive and and you know, and and that's why I'm just you know, happy that once and for all, you know. And he's not backing down, and he's fighting back because he should, you know.
And I'm right there fighting with him.
And I think that we should all be right there fighting for him because it could be us and we could be in that situation.
I love this salacious topics. And you know, I'm a fan of nudity, you know, Oh you are?
Yeah?
Yeah?
Are you getting are you? Are you going public with that? And you're saying that I just didn't hear you love nuds?
Yeah, I like.
That's going to be is that clickbait that's going to be all over the tabloids?
Loved photography?
Have you ever done any nuts? Have you yourself?
Uh?
Not really not really? Oh no, man, I would know you too smart for dumb. Yeah, I'm not down Like I mean, back in the.
Day when you and I would have done that kind of stuff.
We didn't have bones, we can take pictures, right, yeah, right, thank god, thank god.
We would have been Probably would I probably wouldn't have either. Probably.
No, that's not follow me either.
No, I swear that's just I'm very I'm not stupid with things I put in writing or information I share. You know, if it comes out of my mouth, that's another story. But I don't like to leave a trail of breadcrumbs.
Right, And guys have never sent you anything? You don't have any NEWD pics?
Yes, but I didn't ask for it and I didn't want it, and then and I was like, ill, thanks for letting me know, because I definitely now not interested. You know what I mean? Some people should just not send a nude, you know what, just not agree. Well, what do you think about Prince Harry? Are you dying to see his nude? Are you kidding me? Let me tell you something. My mother was in love with Prince Harry because she loved redheads. And I say, I never
understood why she liked redheads so much. And then you know.
They're like scars because there's not too many of them around.
I don't well, I have another's theory because I don't some personal investigations, and what I have found is that they are well endowed. Yes, they're like really red headed unicorns. Sorry, m but the unicorn horn is not on their head if you catch my drift.
Of course, So I've never had that pleasure because I've never dated or been with the red head. By the way, I was they say about girls with red hair because I was born with red.
Hair a firecrotch. No, but no, but nobody change.
No.
But I'm just saying, like, as a baby with red hair, yeah, but.
Then started changing, I was like I was really red, it was really red, and then it started changing like a strawberry blonde. And then my grandmother would put mansani on my hair. We could like stay blonde. Maybe they didn't want me a red head. Maybe they're like a red head imagine.
Yeah for a blonde. I was reading the redheads have more sex than most people there horn hair beating female and but I guess I still have that because it was I was like, I was born in redhead. But then they they tried me. They tried, but they couldn't burn your soul and your desires. So yeah, me too had strawberry blonde hair my mansania and put it on my hair because we lived on there and keep his skin. I go to the beach every weekend with mansania.
On my hair and I got I still remember that that like the smell of the camera will yeah, my grandmother would play. Yeah. But you know, I've never been interested in and like redhead like men like I really, like I said, I think that they're not very common, so I've never been with one.
Or there's haro like Ireland and Scotland than here.
Mm hm did you see a lot when you went to Scotland with bou Beer?
Really? Because I have only eyes for Blue Bear. He's my personal little leprechaun. Yeah, so let's let's talk about hair. Talk about Harry a little bit. Is that Vegas trip that he has keeps coming up since twenty twelve?
You see, this is the perfect example that people like this was in twenty twelve, like why is this woman, you know, twelve years later still talking about Harry?
Was it that big? Was it that color?
For me? Like? What is it? Like? What this person?
And why can she do this? So I'm gonna read a little bit here and give you my thoughts and then you can jump in and correct me or agree with me. So so, So, Harry was in Vegas obviously in twenty twelve, and one of the women that was partying with him was a Dominie Trix and she has a bunch of photos that she never shared of him out of respect for him, like naked stuff.
Yeah.
Uh so, now she's threatening because in his new book Spare, he left her out of the book. Oh she's mad, she's pissed, and she's like, he said he was drunk and he didn't remember anything, but in the book he remembers everybody's name, but I wasn't mentioned. And I guess she had some intimate moments with him and she have to pay for it, right, Yeah, exactly. So she's going to put it on her only fans and she's hoping to make a few million.
Parents and nothing else worked out, so she's not only fans. Okay, yeah, yeah, it's like they all have the stamp. It's like it's it's the same pattern.
Uh huh uh huh. So, and she said some interesting things about about Meghan. She said that he used to be really fun at a partier and that she sucked the life. Megan sucked the life out of Harry.
And she called one. I mean, it's called maturing, it's called gloth. But if she wants to think it's that, she can think it's that too.
Mm hm. Anyway, she's hoping to make a few million dollars on only fans. But then I was reading that only fans wouldn't even allow her to put those photos up. She'd have to have permission.
Oh well, you see, I like that there has to be some law to protect people. I mean, because this is ridiculous.
Well, they probably don't want to get sued by the royal family either. Yeah, she should just make her own life.
What is she going to do with them? She's just going to go on her social media and say.
Look, this is that's a question for her.
So, but what do you think people are so people like you? Why do you think that people are so obsessed with these celebrity nudes.
I feel like it's like an aha moment, like, oh, look at them. They're just like us. They do stupid shit, or they get naked, or they you know, they make.
Yeah, and they have the same decisions as we do. We have the same though. I mean, and I don't even think so, because obviously, I mean it's probably for her because she was just like a common girl and she got access to that, whether because he was intoxicated or he was having fun or whatever it may be. But she's like, you know what, he was throwing the party, right, nobody was his party, but I mean he invited girls.
But these are just like common girls. I mean, she's not like somebody that's like famous or you know, people knew about her or anything you claim to. But right, well, I mean is she known? I mean, does she like a woll known person. I've never heard of this woman.
No, no, no, she didn't even know him. She didn't even know it was his party.
But then but twelve years later, she wants money. Yeah, she wants to talk about it. She wants to show the world. Yeah, but you know what, she knows it works because you know, people are you want to.
Secure pictures because I want to see those pictures, but her with him or just of him nude, just you know, a little nudy action. I'm curious. I think Megan.
I think Megan should come up there for her and show them that.
But this is my only desire to see the photo is purely research. I want to prove my point about my research. It's purely research.
I mean, I really think if society wasn't so much into this, I think I don't think it would be like so relevant. But I think that people, first of all, are fascinated with Prince Harry. He's always been a character that people have loved to talk about and people will want to see just like you're saying, people you know do want to see it.
Yeah. Yeah, But the fact that.
This woman, after twelve years could just like put it out there is alarming to me, and it's scary.
Cparently the only fans has become very competitive and you can't just make twenty thousand dollars a day anymore. Like how much was Pips making twenty a day a month, a week. I'm what was it?
I don't know. Don't even get me started. Another lie, another lie, But okay, Yeah.
Everybody went on there, and I guess it's just kind of got watered down and not really not everybody.
Went on there because you know, and a lot of people haven't gone in there. Like I said, I think when nothing else works, it's just you know, people you know, resort to that not people, certain people.
Well, here's a list of celebs that have had nudes released on the internet. Kristin Stewart, Bella Thorne, Amanda Seyfried, Jessica Biale, Jess Yeah, I know, Jennifer Lawrence, Milacuna, Selena Gomez, Scarlett Joants, Tiger Woods. I googled for Tiger Woods because you know, that's part of my research too, and I couldn't find him. Obviously he paid to have it removed. It wasn't there. Isn't it interesting that there's more newds for women than men. Yeah, I thought that too, Alexia.
I was like, it's all women's it's all women because you know what I mean.
I guess it's easier for us to take off her clothes than the guys that might be a little bit more private.
You kids, hard listen. Guys usually just send a peepee pic so then the face isn't attached to it, but women have you know, the face is usually part of the whole package because it's boobies. It's you know, beautiful. The women that don't think about it.
But that should be a lesson to all you young girls that are listening to us, I know, do not take pictures of your body of nudes, especially with your face in them. And do not trust anybody because you trust today, and who's your friend today can be your enemy twenty years later, two years later, or two minutes later.
So therefore I don't do wipe the story share Alexia. Remember my my cleaning lady that had a little problem with a couple of weeks ago, Yes, I do, and that the man shut up the house that you to dat. Yeah, I don't know how he knew where we lived. So my cleaning lady apparently sent Nudi pictures of her peepe to this man that she was dating and they're no longer together. Somehow he found out where me and Steve live and showed up and ended up at the neighbor's
house looking for me. The neighbors called my husband and said, there was a man here looking for your wife, and he really wants to talk to her me Marisol, because he wanted to show me pictures of my cleiding ladies, her Papy, because he wanted me to fire her because she sent them pictures of her peepy because she doesn't want to be with him, so he wants her to lose her job and not have money, so she needs him because he wants to take care of her.
So now you just tell her to go to only fans along with other other ones.
She doesn't need to speak English. How would I even expeak? But you don't need to go to only fans.
There's a lot of people that don't speak English on only fans. I was being funny though.
I know, I know, but that's what happens. And now he's been sending pictures of her papy to every body because he stole her phone, downloaded all her contacts and texted it to everybody. Oh yeah, oh yeah.
That's illegal. There's what is it board? You what is it called?
That's when you're peeping on people. But you know, when you break into someone's phone and share all their photos and contact their contacts, that's you know, that's kind of crazy.
That have to be illegal to you know what, there's just like too much freedom and everything and it's just like really upsetting to But again that's more all of a story, like don't you know, don't and don't send pictures to anybody because they can be fun at the moment and then like two minutes later, like you're it's all over. The place. It's all over the place.
Uh. And if you're going to send those pictures, don't put your face in the photo. And what would you do?
Would you take legal action or you would you just own it and say, y'all like it's me.
You know, I can't really deny it if my faces in it. You know, it depends on the gravity of the photo how far it goes. But you know, like I said, that would never their intentions, you know, no intentions can never be good. Well that's something I don't have to worry about, and neither do you. Oh my god, luckily because of our parents. Oh my gosh, totally.
Let's talk about sex talk, right, So what did your parents have that sex talk with you? Or did they not even have one tota?
Looka, my parents have a sex talk with me? Please.
Yeah. My mom was a psychiatrist and she was super cool with everybody, except she would talk exactly pedoc meal. It was like a different rule, you know. She would give me examples. She would kind of like talk about sex. It wasn't like it was a boodoo in my house. Like she would talk about it, but she would kind of control like what she wanted me to know. I wish you didn't want me to know. So it was kind of like we never had that talk.
Uh huh. Yeah, you know.
I would hear bits and pieces about sex different conversations, you know, adult conversation or maybe like amongst.
The is dropping on the adult conversations.
Oh my god, I loved it.
Yeah.
My mom was on the phone and my mom used to.
Talk for hours my friends.
Oh yeah. She would be like and I would like, I would be like a little bit open, and I would be like trying to listen.
Yeah, Mosa, you love alection, you love information. You like information when you like to askatation. Yeah, I know. Yeah, yeah, I feel like I know. The safer I am, I'm the opposite and the quicker I forget it, the better it is. When you had sex the first time, did you tell your mother or father? Did you sell you? No, but my mom knew it.
No? Like my mom everything.
Mention you yes, kyl. Yeah.
Well, in my case, it was kind of I was like seventeen years old, so I was in high school seventeen. My mom had a feeling that it was gonna like it was going to happen, so all of a sudden, she brings me, like a pack of pills of birth control pills, and she leaves them in her room and I was like, yeah, kid, I'm like, what is this? So of course I pretended I didn't even know what it was and blah blah blah, and I just kind
of like left it. I didn't even touch it. And then like a few days later, you know, I guess my mom comes in and she sees the pills there, and then I was like, what's that. She's like, oh, no, Tayaga, you know what it is. And I was like, yeah, I know, but like why are you leaving that for me?
She's like, well, you know, we're moving to Spain, and and I know how you you know, like, you know, I don't know what you're thinking, but you know, you may think you're never coming back here, and you know how you are, and I know you, like you you may just want to need me.
You know, maybe you're you're thinking of doing something. So in case you're.
Thinking of doing something here right before you go, this is what you need. And I was like, oh, okay, whatever, So I just kind of like left it there. But my mom, it's kind of like she always knew from that moment. On when you did always knew when I was too. What is that?
Is that some kind of like witchy pooh vibes? Because I remember I came a mom thing. I would come from upstairs from my bedroom upstairs where my mother was, and she'd be in the kitchen. She goes, do wait that sets on? An't your dad said the loka? Immediately she would say it to me, I can see it in your face. I never understood what she was seeing. But now maybe it was like like you know, when the beard cuts your face. Maybe I don't know. I
don't know. I don't know. I don't know how she always knew, you know, right, that's incredible.
No, I think I think your mom and like my mom, had that connection with us. We're so connected. It's kind of like because they were like the same like us. I feel like you were a lot like your mom and it was a lot like my mom. And I was like, yeah, so it's kind of like, oh, you know I would have had so yeah. So we never had that talk. But like I said, as we got older, did you ever talk about sex with your mom?
Though?
Like that was that we're talking now like when we were like young girls that we supposedly weren't. You know, we weren't allowed to have sex, but we shouldn't be having sex, right, But because you know, I don't know about you, but like my mom used to say always like I grew up, like you had to save your virginity till you got married. You know, it was not okay, you know, to be having sex with different boyfriends or
with different guys. So I think that that's why we never had that sex talk, because you know, I was like, like you, we were not having a sex talk till you're ready for marriage and you're ready to use your virginity. So I think that's why we never had that sex talk. But obviously as I maturity and as I got older and I was in relationships and marriages, then it was
cool to talk to my mom about sex. It still wasn't like I mean, it still wasn't like but I think almost like curious and like my mom was like.
Would she ask you questions? Did you bring it up? Or was it more like she would ask you questions.
I think it was both. I think I mean, like semi Eva, it was like go herself, like I would make me make a comment. And then my mom too well, like my mom was very inquisitive. She always my mother. I guess I got that from her because she was watching questions.
From Yeah, it was always like asking the questions.
And so I became more comfortable, you know, with age and you know, and just you know, down the road with my mom, you know, being able to talk about text. But that was way later in life, like as an adult, like thirties, forties, you know, recently, that kind of thing.
But yeah, I I never talked about any of that with my mother, and she didn't talk about sex with me. But I do remember, like in my mid thirties, she did say to me once, oh, yeah, at your age, you can't get on top because your face is hanging when you're leaning forward. That's all she said to me. Also, was the best when I was in my I don't know, mid forties. I remember after she had her stroke. She was limited in her vocabulary, you know, her speech and everything.
She wasn't doing very well. And I remember my dad found out that I was with his friend's nephew, but I guess he told my mom but didn't tell me. And my mother was in her limited vocabulary that she had, she was like your father's very angry with you. He said, you're a bad girl. I'm like, hey, I've been divorced twice, I'm forty five, I'm not I can't be a bad girl at this point anymore. And that's about the.
Extent of I was not a little girl. Yeah, he was really mad that I was a bad girl, which meant code for that I was a good girl in my book. But like what I did, Like what my mom would do a lot was like she would tell me stories of like her friends or like her friend's daughters or her friend's sons, and it was kind of like for me to listen. So like a lot of times my mom would tell me things like so that I would learn, but you know how you don't learn
and it happens to you to scare me. My parents were a lot like that, like to scare me, Oh I know this, and this this one, this one you know, did do and she got pregnant, this one did don and she got a video.
You know.
So it was like they're always like giving me examples of situations where it wouldn't work out. So I was always very scared, you know, to do a lot of things, you know, because of that. Yeah, it's not that, but you know what I mean, Like sometimes when you instill that fear, you know, when you're kids too, it's kind of like don't want to move.
Yeah, of course you have to prove. You have to prove to your parents always you're wrong. I know what I'm doing and you're wrong, right, I mean I wish that was the case, but usually the parents are right. And I'm a parent today and I can tell you that I'm usually right. Did you do the did you have sex conversations with the boys? Did you prepare them at all?
So you know, I have boys, So it's a little different. I think, like when I grew up like the mom, I mean, I grew up with my mom. My dad was very involved as well, but I would never like think of ever having a conversation with my dad about that at any age or you know, I mean, I lost my dad at an early age. But even so, I don't think I would have ever had that kind of relationship. It was very different from the one that
I had with my mom. There was more like a friend and we can talk about any subject.
Yeah, I think it's like that mothers and we were girls, right exactly.
But I have two boys, right, But in my mentality, it was always like, Okay, I have boys. I can't have that conversation with the boys like their dad, you know, I guess Lakuana me. It was like that I should have that conversation, not me. When my kids were getting to that age. I was married to Herman, so I was expecting Herman to have that conversation with the boys,
and he actually did. So Herman was the one that had you know, her was very open, very cool, and he saw that I lived in like my little world, and he's like, you know what I you know, I got this.
You know, I'm going to have the conversation. You know with Frankie.
We didn't have to have the conversation because Frankie was ahead of all of us, you know, I think Frankie swagger. But anyways, but so I really never had the conversation. The only thing I did was I'll never forget. I was doing my nails one day and there was like another mom there talking. We're talking about our boys and the nail turb but the nail talk. Of course. Then she was Latin and she's like, I bet tell you, you know, do you buy condoms?
For you boys, and I'm like condoms.
I'm like, oh my god, no, my son's like thirteen, fourteen, Like I'm not going to buy him condoms. And then the other woman, it seems super conservative, and because of her nationality and her religion and everything, was like, oh, I got to Costco and I buy boxes of condoms for my son. And I was like, but how is your son? And she's like, he's thirteen. And I was like, oh my god, mine's like fourteen or fifteen. And I've never bought a condom. So I said, okay, next time
I go. The next time I go, I you know. So it was like a lesson for myself. So I pulled the same thing that Nancy did with me with the birth control pills. I did the same thing. I went to CBS. I was so embarrassed, MAIGHTI buying the condoms for my son, and how do you know what's doing? So I didn't know anything, and they're all like once lubricated and this and that. Because remember we grew up in an era where that wasn't very popular. I mean,
it was really for birth control. But so now all these nights later, pleasure no and birth control and oh for diseases, Yes, diseases. But anyways, it was so comfortable. I was so embarrassed. I had never bought condos before. So I'm here in CBS going, oh my god, like nobody nobody's looking. You're trying to look to see which, you know, which are the best ones, and like you know, trying to read the you know, whichever ones would work. Anyways, I got out of there super quick. I got home,
and I put the box in Peter's room. And then Peter was the same thing. He did exactly the same thing that I did to my mom.
He did to me.
He pretended he didn't see them, he didn't know what they were for, like are you looking? Why are you looking at me? Da? Da da da?
And then I.
Said, but then what guess what I saw him? Mesa And they were like opened and then you know, like he was like he had opened the box and all that, and I said, okay, good, okay, he got the message.
But we still never really even had the talk. But because of.
That, I think that obviously, like you know, they're already older, but already when he was growing up, they already had more access to like TV shows and the social media and the internet and you know, all these other things that the kids learn on their own. It's kind of like, you don't have to have that talk yet, but I feel like you do. I feel like you do. I feel like it's necessary to have that communication. Yeah, I think it's necessary to have that communication. And I wanted
him to know that. I was always, you know, here for him any question he had. You know that, even though it's uncomfortable, I'm his friends and you know, but it is kind of weird between like the mom and the sons.
I know, I can say that I need to ask state now if he thought he's bought condoms for the boys. I'm curious because you know, I'm not having any talks with them. Plus they on the internet. All you have to do is put porno in a.
Certain things so accessible, right, I don't think, like when we were growing up, that we can go into a store and buy that.
I don't even think that would sell that to us. I think you had to be eighteen.
Maybe I don't know, because I never did that, so I don't know, like I said, but nowadays, you know, luckily, you know, I'm happy, you know. Fortunately, the kids nowadays have access to all these things. I don't think there's like an age, and it should be. It should be accessible to everybody because you could prevent a lot of unwanted things, you know, like diseases or you know, or children and so yeah, but do any of the kids, like, have any of your step kids, have they asked you
any like sex questions or Steve their dad. You guys don't talk about sex ever in your house.
I mean, they're definitely don't ask me. They're really polite, and I don't think they talk about any of that with Steve at all. And I have no idea who's doing what or what's going on. But you know, they both have girlfriends and they're cool kids and they're popular, so I'm guessing something must be going down. And you know, Garrett has his own apartment now, so is it a sweet honeypad?
Fun?
But I'm going to ask Steve if he buys some condoms.
I'm curious, Well, Steve's not going to buy them, because they're already they have their own car, their own money, and they could walk into the store and buy it.
But by the way, even if they're not buying it, buys it. The girls. The girls, they do have control. Yeah.
Oh yeah, the girls all tell their parents so cramps.
Oh I need to get on the pill.
Yeah, all the girls are drinking the pill because of cramps, like a thirteen. Yeah, so thank you because you know about your boys.
I'm gonna ask because you know, Boober is very proper and he's very prepared for everything. I'm pretty sure he's. I mean, I don't think he would have gone to Costcos like you and bought or that lady and bought the bulk. But he probably bought, you know, a pack or so. But I don't know. I need to confirm. I'm gonna put that on my research list.
We talk to everybody.
Yeah, next week, this is what I came up with people. He's gonna be like, wait, why are you even asking me this now?
Totally yeah. But anyways, my friends, I loved all of our talk today. We have very interesting topics.
Yes, we did.
We did. It's always a lot of fun to share information and to talk about things that we love to talk about and give our opinions about.
Mm hmmm. Yeah. I get so many dms from people that love listening to us. Thank you for listening to.
Us, by Oh, thank you guys. Thank you. We love that.
They you know, it's kind of like it's been analyzed and I agree with people eavesdropping on one of our phone conversations.
Yeah, this is exactly how they are.
Yeah, they're like this. They can be worse too.
Well.
What I love is that we don't talk about the show.
It like in like our own life, right, And that's what we said, only when we have to write, like when we've had to address something because we have to. But you know, I love that there's so many things to talk about.
But one person say to me, why don't you talk about other housewives or house question?
Never? Never? I haven't even do you know what the answer to that is that there's so many other women doing it, so like, why what are you going to do to I even like to watch my own show, so it's like, why do I want to watch talk about other women? Yeah, they do the same thing I do totally. But you know what, there's plenty of interesting people to talk about, and we proved it today.
And all right, well, my friend, I love you. I'm not feeling too good, so I'm gonna go lay down, take some cold medicine, Yes, get some really better for our next podcast. Yeah, I'm I going to see you tomorrow. We have dinner pluns tomorrow. Yes, yes, that's why I need to rest.
Get some rest because I want to see you tomorrow.
Go tomorrow night. Yeah yeah. Every time I go outside, I get sick. Now I'm like the boy and the bubble in this house. You never leave. I need to tell you on more.
What about a night? Does nighttime count?
I mean I don't know. I mean I don't know. We'd have to test it. Everything is testing trial around here. It becomes so week. I need some more Beat twelve shots, and I'm going I have a Beat twelve shot. Why don't you just drink the pill?
I drink D three and B twelve.
Those are two vitamins that I always drink and biotin. Well, you know that I have stomach issues, so I rather have a shot.
Drink it at night. No, No, I do it at night, like right before going to bed, because during the day they would also affect my stomach when I would drink them in the morning. I started drinking them and look at my nails like they were not They've grown so much. Oh yeah, say hi, everything just like my nails. But the B twelve D three and biotin and drink it right before you go to sleep, so that way, you know, you wake up fine, like it's not gonna affect your stomach in the middle of the night.
I'm no worse to taking pills. I just can't. I can't do anything like that. I barely can make an appointment for botox. I just realized it's been nine months. My eyebrows are hanging. It's terrible.
God.
Well, guys, if you have any questions that brought a beauty between just like me, do not DM me please no.
But I'm just saying it's like it's fun because you know sometimes you know, as women, we want to share like what we do. I feel like I never really talk about like my beauty regimen or like you know, my health or my eating or or my drinking or my nothing, you know what I mean. I don't share like any of that stuff that I think a lot of people are interested in. So maybe next time we'll
chat about that. We can share, like we can share like our little secrets that we I mean, which are not secrets, so I love to share them with everybody.
Yeah, absolutely, Well, and you can learn how to look like a barbie, or you can learn how to be sickly like me all the time. Those will be your tam ai. You have to eat what on me? I mean? I'm gonna say goodbye, goodbye everyone, Thank you so much for listening.
