00:00Congratulations on everything that's been going on in your life right now you
00:04just performed at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade what was that
00:07like? Oh it was incredible I've been watching it my entire life we would
00:10always put on the parade while we were getting up cooking everything so as a
00:15lifelong fan of the parade who probably when I was a little kid I was like I'm
00:20gonna be in that parade one day to be there I'm being a part of it was so
00:25incredible there was a really surreal moment when I had been waving at people
00:30and I hadn't really looked up and it wasn't till we were crossing Columbus
00:34Circle and I looked up and all I could see was like the Paw Patrol balloon in
00:40front of me and the NYPD horses were behind me and I was just like this is
00:44crazy. Were you like this what is my life right now? Yes yeah it was awesome.
00:50How would you describe this phase in your life that you're in right now? I
00:54feel you know I'm turning 40 next year not to remind everyone but I'm 40 and
01:01young yes there you go instead of like 30 flirty and thriving it's like 40 fun
01:07and I don't know another F word but I feel like I'm coming into a phase in my
01:15life where I'm finally in control of my own destiny and that feels really really
01:20good. Well of course the big news was Vanderpump Rules the cast we're changing
01:26it up we're switching it up what were your thoughts when you when you heard
01:29that? I mean I think it makes sense I think when you look at where the show
01:35started and where it ended up at the end of last season it really felt like that
01:40was a good choice for them to make and you know I'm relieved that you know
01:45we've been we've been having some conversations you know behind the scenes
01:47and it's nice for the fans to be able to know like what's coming because I
01:52think a lot of people were unsure because nothing had been said and so it
01:56is a bit of a relief that it's all out there yeah. Any more Love Island in your
02:03life? I sure hope so.
