Stassi Schroeder Tells All: House of Stassi, Her Marriage to Beau & the Vanderpump Rules Years

10:37Big Little Feelings Hosts:Yeah, not on Vanderpump Rules anymore.

10:40Stassi Schroeder:Not on Vanderpump Rules anymore. Asked to leave the show. Yeah. But that's the exact moment you also became a mom, right?

10:46Big Little Feelings Hosts:Well, I conceived Hartford in like April. I found out I was pregnant in May. and then got fired from Vanderpump Rules in June. And I was like, well, I again, that's when I like shifted my mindset. And I was like, let's focus on what we're grateful for. Like all I've ever wanted was to be a mom. Like that was before being on TV or writing books or like my career. Like I've always not trad wife mom. Like I'm not good at cooking or anything like that. I just I knew I wanted to be a mother. And like I shifted my focus to the fact that just like, oh my God, you are getting everything you want. Like you have this little baby.

11:21Big Little Feelings Hosts:Like, this is everything you want. Like, let's not focus on the negativity. Let's focus on moving forward. Let's focus on rebuilding and finding a new door to walk through and just like making something new. And then what happened?

11:36Stassi Schroeder:Like you had your little motherhood era. Yeah. And then and then was it Vanderpump Villa that kind of brought you back into that?

11:44Big Little Feelings Hosts:I wrote two books. Right, yes. I started my podcast again and then started one with Bo as well. And then I started pitching my show. I started working on it with two of my producer friends. And I started pitching it. And when I met with Hulu, we were like, you know, it would be great. A Vanderpump Villa crossover that would lead into my show. No way. Like the stars are aligned. Lisa's already on your streamer. And you're thinking of going to Italy. Well, my husband is also an Italian citizen. Perfect. And everything just like the stars aligned for me to like go on Vanderpump Villa. Oh, wow. That is wild.

12:26Stassi Schroeder:I didn't realize it kind of unfolded that way. Yeah. I didn't either. Yeah. Whoa. How is Vanderpump Villa having two kids like in the in the villa? Like I'm watching. I want to know everything.

12:38Big Little Feelings Hosts:This is the most fun experience. Like when I say this is like the cushiest job on reality TV. I get to go to Europe, bring my husband and our kids and have a vacay at a castle or an estate and just hang out and like meddle and see what like the gossip is going on. It's literally a dream. And none of the drama was yours, by the way.

13:05Stassi Schroeder:Exactly. Like I was watching this and I'm like.

13:12Big Little Feelings Hosts:It's so much fun. It really is so much fun. And having my kids there, like, they love it because they love Lisa. And there's also like kid things to do because Pandora brings her children. So like there's always like play stuff and everything. And they get to I love that I'm exposing my kids to other countries and they're seeing different cultures and trying different foods and all of that. And so it's like a huge win to be able to go. Can we manifest this for us?

We went to a big party recently. That was a big deal. And I was obsessed with trying to make this like Greek goddess look happen. Y 'all, if you saw it, it happened. And I swear, yes, part of it was the dress, but part of it was my hair.

17:26Stassi Schroeder:I can't wait to binge it. Thank you for telling us where. Hulu. Hulu. Hulu. So this is going to be a national holiday for us. We'll all report back. And your mom is on it?

17:39Big Little Feelings Hosts:a little bit yeah a little bit your your family yeah my sister is a a huge part of it yeah so

17:46Stassi Schroeder:maybe you don't need therapy if you can do a show with your mom maybe you are okay just wait so you

17:50Big Little Feelings Hosts:see the scenes okay i want to hear your thoughts okay yeah i'm curious we have an interesting relationship yeah yeah there there's a there's a lot there i had said before we started filming i talked to my sister and i was like i don't want mom to film because like i don't you know if you've seen Vanderpump Rules, you've seen our relationship and it's a little contentious. And yeah, you know, and I like didn't want to do that again. But my mom wanted to film. Wow. So I could not deny her that. Wow. Yes. OK, I can't wait. OK, we're going to report back.

18:24Stassi Schroeder:Yeah. And do we see what evolves? This is what I was stuck on after Vanderpump Villa was Bo shared with you this really personal moment about how he feels like he needs his own identity.

18:40Big Little Feelings Hosts:Yeah.

18:40Stassi Schroeder:And I know, I mean, I think everyone loves Bo, right? I don't know. No, everyone loves Bo. Some people must out on social media, but I doubt it. Like everyone loves Bo.

18:49Big Little Feelings Hosts:Everyone has their like fair share amount of like people critiquing or, you know, critics. But like, you know, for the most part, everyone loves Bo. And in real life, everyone loves Bo. Like I'm, you know, in every relationship, there's like the one that everyone loves. Yeah. Yeah. And then there's the other one. I'm the other one. I'm the other one. Yeah. I'm the other one.

19:07Stassi Schroeder:You know, my husband's the other one. Oh, good for you. She gets to be really not for you.

19:14Big Little Feelings Hosts:Yeah. You're the one that everyone wants to be around. That's great. Yeah.

19:17Stassi Schroeder:I feel like Bo and my husband are very similar. And I think a lot of women who are successful or even just have a career, even if both have a career, they actually can really relate to that scene where Bo is like, I feel a little bit secondary. I need to have my own path. It used to be in casting or something like that. Do we see that on play out more? A lot. Okay.

19:40Big Little Feelings Hosts:Okay, good. A lot. It's so funny because before we started filming, for months and months, I was telling Bo, my friends, my family, not coaching them, but drilling it through their head that when we do this show, we are going to make the realest, most authentic, honest show there is. And like, you need to just like be honest about your feelings. There's no holding back. I don't even care if it's like, you know, against me. Like you just it needs to be real. And Bo really took that to heart for better or worse. He did it and went there. And I was like, oh, oh, we're doing this. And then we talk about then we break the fourth wall.

20:19Big Little Feelings Hosts:We break the fourth wall the whole entire season. Like the show is so unique. And it's like the format and the style is so different than anything I've seen. Like we acknowledge that we are shooting a show and what that does to relationships and friendships and stuff like that. So like there are moments where I'm like, oh, you're really doing this. You know what I mean? This is what we signed up for. You know, yes, Bo really takes it there. Oh, I love that, though.

20:44Stassi Schroeder:That's refreshing. And that's what

20:45Big Little Feelings Hosts:made it feel like therapy. Yeah. Because like we're really just mentioning it all, talking about

20:51Stassi Schroeder:at all and processing it and being honest and vulnerable that's it girl what else can we look forward to like tell me tell me like a sprinkle of something that's really exciting about the show

21:01Big Little Feelings Hosts:I just hope like you know that we are able to connect with people and have like everybody see themselves through us because I feel like we're such a well-rounded group everyone is so different and going through different things in their lives that there's just like something for everyone to relate to. Like my sister just went through a divorce and has like nothing to her name, lives out of her car in my house. Do you know what I mean? Like she is on a different path than I am. Like my best friend Taylor, she's married to our other best friend Taylor and they just had a baby. And like, there's just, there's something there for everyone.

21:43Big Little Feelings Hosts:and I hope that yeah people just like wow I see myself in this

21:48Stassi Schroeder:I sort of didn't know I didn't even piece together that Taylor the Taylors would be on your show yeah I had no idea they're yes

21:54Big Little Feelings Hosts:Taylor is like my best friend in the whole world so that's crazy

21:57Stassi Schroeder:also I went to college with Taylor which is a really Stracker that's wild yes with I played softball and she played she was like in the sports world so we were like very yeah I know it's a weird it's a weird crossover I have many Vanderpump rule era photos of just like shwasty face with that.

22:16Big Little Feelings Hosts:That is hilarious.

22:17Stassi Schroeder:Isn't it? I know. But I love them and I love their path to new motherhood. So you'll share their new, because they're two moms with a new baby. How fresh was that baby then?

22:30Big Little Feelings Hosts:We stopped filming right before the baby was born. So it's like the lead up, all those conversations. Cause you know, Taylor, it has not been her dream to be a mom. So it's like, it's really interesting to see that all play out oh i'm so excited i didn't know that they were

22:45Stassi Schroeder:yeah that and then a season two where you get to see the aftermath yeah no as someone who struggled

22:52Big Little Feelings Hosts:through postpartum every time yeah i'm sorry it really is so hard postpartum is so hard it's

22:58Stassi Schroeder:isolating it's just yeah yeah did you have any sort of big work commitments when you were postpartum

23:05Big Little Feelings Hosts:first time around now because I didn't have many jobs yeah stress yeah different yes different stress and then the second time I actually was scared to get pregnant again because I didn't want to feel isolated and I didn't want to feel like alone how I did you know with Hartford and then I was just like okay no but you want another baby so like you're gonna do this and then you're gonna work the whole time and so I like had Messer and I like went back to work after two weeks because I didn't want to. I was so scared of feeling that loneliness that like comes with just having your baby. I think that was a happy medium.

23:43Big Little Feelings Hosts:I could have like if I had a third, you know, take six weeks off. Yeah. Live your best baby mom life, you know. But yeah, I went back to work.

23:52Stassi Schroeder:I did the same to be fair with the second one. I cut my mat leave earlier. I was like, I just need to get back in. You want to feel like yourself. Yeah. I need to do what feels normal for a second. And I was like, Dina, we're good. Nothing's happening. I know. Nothing's happening. And two weeks like I need to come back. I get it. OK, we're going to come back. We're going to do this. Yeah. And found the flow by the third. Like you said. Yeah. Yeah. The third you took your whole mat. You know what? I'm going to take an extra extra couple of weeks. Yeah. You know, I think by your third you settle in.

24:23Stassi Schroeder:Yeah. How do you feel now in motherhood, especially? I mean, you really identify with your career, obviously, as we've learned. Yeah.

24:31Big Little Feelings Hosts:And then like my husband is like the main he's like the primary parent. Yeah. The kids ask him for things first. Like, wow. Yeah. Like he does all the drop offs, like lunches, like y 'all. He knows the appointments. If like something needs to happen for them, like he handles it. So he is my very parent. And I felt guilty about that for a while. I don't really anymore. I think I entered like a new stage stage of motherhood a couple months ago because I used to be scared to take both of them out at the same time without Bo. And I used to also dread the weekends. Like I Friday would roll around and I'd be like people being like TGIF.

25:12Big Little Feelings Hosts:Fuck you guys. This is where the real work starts because we don't have help or like, you know, anyone to take care of the kids and help us like on Saturday and Sunday. And so it's like we're in it. And then a couple of months ago, I realized that I started looking forward to the weekends and I was like, yeah, it's Friday. Yeah, we get to like plan things this weekend. And I think it's because my kids grew up a little. And I might just not be the best at the baby and toddler stage. But I love kid, the kid phase like I love I now I'm like, I can't wait for the weekend because I get to hang out with my kids.

25:49Big Little Feelings Hosts:Oh, and now I like love to take them out by myself. It's like, it's just so different. The baby stage was hard for me. It really overwhelms me.

25:57Stassi Schroeder:yeah i don't i mean we are actually both the same way so that and we're like literally parenting experts like it's just i think and it goes both ways some people they would have like 50 babies

26:08Big Little Feelings Hosts:i know and i hear people being like i love the babies i'm like of course there are parts of it i love the snuggles they're cute as fuck like you know but i'm bored like you know and i'm just like and there's so much in order to leave the house so you gotta take so much stuff so much stuff that I'm just like, it takes me 25 minutes to get in the car. Then I'm like, what's the point? I'd rather just stay home. Now, it's like, no, you guys don't even need your water cans. OK, we'll get a water when we get there. Just get in the car and let's go. And it's so much more enjoyable for me.

26:39Stassi Schroeder:Oh, that makes me so happy to hear. I feel the same way. And like, also just want to normalize on the weekends. It's OK to not want to spend like every single minute with your kids. Yeah, it's OK to want to be, by the way.

26:50Big Little Feelings Hosts:It's OK to want to be, have some break. Yeah.

26:53Stassi Schroeder:So, you know, yeah. I hate asking this question because, well, I actually always ask men this question, too, to be fair, of like, how do you balance it all? And how do you not feel guilty? But I always do want to ask every parent that comes on here, because even just selfishly, I always wonder this question. When somebody has a high profile career.

27:15Big Little Feelings Hosts:Well, something's always struggling. OK. So just know that. You feel that way.

27:19Stassi Schroeder:You feel that something is always. Yeah.

27:21Big Little Feelings Hosts:Like I don't really have like a social life. Yeah. I don't like I don't just like go out with friends. That's just not the phase of my life I'm in right now. I'm into working hard and then spending time with my family like that. Those are my priorities. So like if I go to an event or something, it's a work related event. Like it's all to like help the greater the greater good. So like I don't really have like a social life or a lot of friends, but I'm also like a tight knit group kind of like I only have my individual friend. You know what I mean? I'm not like a big social person. So you're good with that.

27:58Big Little Feelings Hosts:And I'm also yeah. And I'm also like not the best wife right now. You know what I mean? Like Bo has his complaints because I'm like, sorry, like there's a lot going on. Like you can't have it all. Like I wrote a book entitled You Can't Have It All. and like you can't like something is always suffering like you can have all the things but not like they're not all gonna be operating at a hundred percent you know at the same time no and like I do feel mom guilt sometimes like when I'm around other moms that are like doing the most I'm like god fuck off you know like and then I just have to like talk myself out of it like Like, yeah, the mom guilt happens a lot.

28:41Like the other day, Hartford asked me,

28:44Big Little Feelings Hosts:Mom, why do you just like sitting for a really long, long time? Seriously? I should be up playing with her more. She's like, because I was like sitting on the couch like all day on Sunday. You know what I mean? And I'm like that? Really? Well, also Hartford, I love sitting. Okay. Sitting is my favorite. I prefer to be sedentary. Yeah. Okay. Can you not? The laying.

29:07Stassi Schroeder:Kristen, I was going to say, Kristen wants to be laying. I would prefer to lay. Do you remember before we had kids? If you could have a chance to just lay for a moment or an hour or two, I would like to lay.

29:19Big Little Feelings Hosts:And I have been trying to do this recently. When I realized that I have time at home and like, oh, I don't have anything in this hour block, I will be like, you are going to go lay on your bed and you are going to allow yourself to have rest time, like get your energy tank filled up again. Scroll on TikTok. Yeah. Watch, you know, women make their husbands lunches. I love that. It's like one of my favorite things to watch right now. Really? What do you mean when they like pack the lunch bag for the day or something? Some of them are really gross and some of them are really gourmet and amazing. I'm like, I'm the full spectrum.

29:56Big Little Feelings Hosts:That is like my algorithm right now. And I'm obsessed. And it's like so crazy because it's like the opposite. I have never packed a lunch in my life. Not even for myself.

30:08Stassi Schroeder:Not for your kids, let alone your husband, let alone you. No one's getting a lunch. I've never

30:10Big Little Feelings Hosts:packed lunches. Like, but I love watching it.

30:15Stassi Schroeder:That's how I kind of feel about Treadwife stuff. And I have to be careful because I do love animals. So for a second, I'll get sucked in. I'm not an animal lover. Okay, so you're fine then. She sees the Highland cow and she's gone. Oh, God. Yeah. And the chicken, just all of it. But the rest of it, I'm like, I can't not relate to this at all. So it's so satisfying to watch it. Because it's probably, and now I'm going to be into lunches, whatever this is, because I don't do lunches or cooking either. It's really good. I get served those. I know what you're talking about. She cooks, though. You're a cooker.

30:45Stassi Schroeder:I packed a lunch this morning. That's right.

30:49Big Little Feelings Hosts:Is it like the likable ones or the ones that pack the lunches?

30:53Stassi Schroeder:I'm getting a pattern. Okay, interesting. Yes. Yeah. So motherhood with your career, do you find that it's helpful to your career right now where you're going? Like it's not at total odds and you feel...

31:10Big Little Feelings Hosts:No, it is the ultimate motivator too. too, because everything I'm doing is to pass on to them. It's like to give them as much of a head start as possible, because like, you know, there was a time I remember when like Hartford was born. I was like, am I going to put my kids on social media? Like and I still those thoughts still cross my mind all the time. But I'm like, they're on a reality show and they were born into this circus family, you know, and I'm I feel like I'm giving them a head start in a way. Nepotism. I'd love to. Nepo babies. I want to help them out. You know, like I think every parent wants to give their kids the most head start they they can.

31:56Big Little Feelings Hosts:And it's fun to like do this all together. So like to me, motherhood hasn't been a hindrance at all. But I've also never been like it's never been my brand to be like single hot girl do you know what i mean sort of i mean i feel like you were single i feel like i'm always in relationships i've always been in relationships i you know so like having kids really didn't change anything yeah for me yeah i don't i don't need to be single hot girl i'm like 38 i know so like true i think for the like

32:33Stassi Schroeder:Working tired girl. In the fans' eyes, it's like you changed a lot, like so much, but so did all of us. But I do think you were like the hot young thing. And, you know, now you're like the hot mom, though. So I guess it works out.

32:47Big Little Feelings Hosts:I was a hot young thing. Yeah.

32:49Stassi Schroeder:You were like the quintessential hot young thing.

32:51Big Little Feelings Hosts:Season one and two of Vanderpump Rules. Does that grow? Get it.

32:54Stassi Schroeder:Girl. Yes.

32:58Stassi Schroeder:I was thinking about this the other day because everyone's in back to school mode, including me. And it reminded me of one of my favorite childhood memories. Growing up, my mom and I used to go to Ross together all the time. And it wasn't just shopping. It felt like we were on a treasure hunt. Like you never know what you're going to find. And so we'd walk every aisle and we'd hold things up like, wait, is this cute? Wait, is this you? We'd laugh. We'd debate outfits. And somehow we'd always leave feeling like we found these little hidden gems. And looking back, I actually think that's where I started figuring out my style.

33:31Stassi Schroeder:because summer is kind of funny in that way. Like kids spend all summer growing, not just physically, but emotionally too. And they try new things and they make new friends and become a little braver. And by the time school starts, they're honestly like a different version of themselves. And I love that back to school shopping becomes this little milestone where they get to express who that new version of them is. And now I'm on the other side as a parent. And it's so fun watching my little guys just develop those personalities. One wants to wear the exact same thing every day because he loves his routine.

34:05Stassi Schroeder:Another changes his mind approximately every 14 seconds. And I'm just over here trying to keep everyone clothed. You know what I mean? And Ross is one of the places that I love because they have absolutely everything from back to school. And for everything this school year has in store, Ross has your style for it at 20 to 60 % off other retailers' prices. That way kids can explore what feels like them without it feeling like a huge commitment on our end. Find your nearest Ross at RossStores.com. One little thing about me. Hi, this is Dina. Cooking is honestly like my therapy. And I've realized that the tools that I use actually matter way more than I used to think.

34:46Stassi Schroeder:If something makes cooking harder or creates more clutter, I notice it immediately because I'm already juggling so much in my mental load. And one thing that has really improved my kitchen time, our place. I cannot recommend their cookware enough. It is beautiful. It is lightweight, especially compared to other non-toxic pans, and they are nonstick. Because at the end of the day, the last thing I want to do after bedtime is sit and scrub pots. I use their Always Pan, and it has honestly just replaced so many other pans that I used to have. I use it for breakfast and eggs and sauteing vegetables and weeknight dinners.

35:22Stassi Schroeder:It is the pan that I reach for over and over again because everything cooks beautifully. Cleanup is so easy and I love that it does not just take over my kitchen because here's the thing. It's so functional. Yes, it's beautiful. I leave it out on the countertop, but their cookware is made without forever chemicals since day one and it's third party tested to meet global safety standards, which for me is number one. You may not realize it, but a lot of nonstick pans are accidentally leaching forever chemicals into the food.

36:26Big Little Feelings Hosts:yeah crazy that was crazy it is it is it's so wild it is actually one of my favorite things i've done it two years now and it's one of my favorite things to do because all of the girls there are the opposite of what you would think like you think runway walking down the runway and like swimsuit models that it would just there'd be like a cattiness, a hierarchy or just whatever. It's so not like that. Everyone wants to help each other. Everyone is like there to hype each other up. And you feel so welcome that like it's just and I felt really empowered. Like I felt really empowered being like I've had two kids, you know, in my late 30s.

37:06Big Little Feelings Hosts:And yeah, I can do this. like I like rewire my brain for a second and like switch into like a different I like convince myself I'm somebody else and then like walk out on that stage and then I come back and I'm like back to being mean I'm like holy fuck you did that like you did that it's really cool I love

37:24Stassi Schroeder:the sports illustrated team yeah I mean I'm doing that as a mom I love that there were also all different kinds of body types to there yeah and ages and yeah it was amazing to watch and yeah so I think did you your kids you showed your kids and they weren't there but like I take them I

37:40Big Little Feelings Hosts:I took them both years. I make it like a family affair and we like, you know, rent the same house and have fun together. And Hartford came to rehearsals last year. And so like now whenever I bring up Miami, she's like, oh, where you were working. And so she thinks my job is like walking down the runway. And I'm like, let's let her think that for a little while. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. That was really fun.

38:02Stassi Schroeder:And Bo was so proud of you.

38:03Big Little Feelings Hosts:Yeah, obviously. I mean, he has like a hot wife walking down the runway. That's right. Yeah, it's a dream for him.

38:10Stassi Schroeder:Like, that's why he gets to, you know, pack the lunches and pick up. Yeah, that's right. You pumped out two kids and you're a Sports Illustrated model. So like he can take care of. Yeah. How is everything going with though?

38:23Big Little Feelings Hosts:Great. I mean, you're going to see a lot go down. So like at the end, you might be like, the finale is crazy. It's crazy. But we like I said, this whole show was one big therapy feeling. and so we were forced to like constantly talk about our issues and thing you know things that you know any marriage was going through especially with two young kids I really thought it was important to like let it all out there because it's like every other mom that I talk to that has young kids they're going through shit in their relationship like they are like it's just really hard to feel sexy and want to like you know date your husband it's hard because like your energy is just like fucking depleted by the end of the day and like that's like we really talk

39:10Stassi Schroeder:about that a lot good I think everybody listening will relate to that I mean 100 % I mean I almost separated like I got divorced when my kids were little because it's just we became like roommates raising kids together and then we're resentful it's a whole thing it's hard with little kids

39:27Big Little Feelings Hosts:you'll see on this show Bo is the one I feel like normally it's like the girl the the mom who becomes a little resentful and all of that both felt that way like I was waking up normal and chipper and going to sleep oh it's like my life's so great and so he's been the one to be like some things need to like shift yeah because it's all falling on him and like

39:54Stassi Schroeder:you need to share some of the not no is that why no not not that not yeah yeah like no I think I

40:01Big Little Feelings Hosts:I just, we have to actively work on our marriage. Like I need to pay attention to it.

40:07Stassi Schroeder:They're very similar. It's very similar. I'm like, I'm great. We're like, we're really. Yeah, I'm like, I have a great career. We're doing it. Like I'll see you in 10 years, dude. My dude, I see you every day. Give you a kiss.

40:17Big Little Feelings Hosts:We have such a great house, home. Our kids are awesome. We do fun things. What are you complaining about? We're going to connect in 10 years. And I'm the other one.

40:26Stassi Schroeder:He's like, we've fallen apart. We are not connected anymore. Yeah, that's interesting. Okay, we're gonna do a little rapid fire before we let you go. What is the biggest unpopular opinion you have right now?

40:39Big Little Feelings Hosts:The biggest unpopular opinion? Hmm. Oh, that maybe like Taylor and Travis's wedding was perfect for them.

40:46Stassi Schroeder:Is that an unpopular opinion? Yeah. People are just like ripping it apart.

40:51Big Little Feelings Hosts:And I'm like, I don't know, seems pretty perfect for me at this like place that like she's performed at sports like goes down they get to make it anything they want have like a trillion people there why not have the biggest wedding why not if you're like the biggest superstar why not just like go out and be like yeah oh i'll invite brad pitt see if he comes yeah you know i just shoot my shot yeah i just shoot my time i loved it i thought the same thing literally in the shower

41:19Stassi Schroeder:this morning where i was like wait this actually makes me feel really good about her and where she probably is mentally because I think if I were Taylor Swift, I would want to have no one at my wedding. I would be like, there's too much exposure. I need to hide. And this is like, wait, she must really love performing. She must love a big venue. She must love like the lavishness. I think she likes being watched. Yeah, she loves it all. Did it all for her. OK. Yep. Agree. OK. What is a luxury that you'll never stop spending money on? Nice hotels.

41:51Big Little Feelings Hosts:I firmly believe like, you know, there are people who are like the hotel is just to sleep. Not me. No, not me. No, I am a room service girl. I spend a lot of time in my hotel rooms. And I always say, like, if the hotel isn't as nice as my house, then I'm not going because my environment is very important to me. I don't know if it's like my cancer son. It probably is. But like my environment, it like shapes my day. yeah same so i have to have nice hotels with you current pop culture rabbit hole current pop culture rabbit hole i mean the mormon wives are still acting up right now did you see that oh they're all over the place right now when he just posted about like that you know moms created mom talk uh and so like taylor frankie paul is now yeah yeah taylor's coming back i will never like Their drama never ends and I eat it up every single time.

42:52Big Little Feelings Hosts:Same. Nice one, Hulu.

42:54Stassi Schroeder:Ask me mine, but it's not about me. Is Max Verstappen going to leave Formula One? I don't. She loves Formula One racing. Respectfully, no one cares. That's your version of Secret Lives of Mormon 1. We sometimes watch it, though. And do you ever think of getting like really long extensions and like crazy lip fill? Does it do that to you? To make yourself look like a Utah person?

43:21Big Little Feelings Hosts:I have never felt that way. I have a strong sense of self, I think, and in my style. You want to look like you. I want to look like me. Hot twist.

43:28Stassi Schroeder:We're the ones who need therapy. Yeah. Hot twist. Every time Dina will just text me like, do I need lip filler? And I'm like, are you watching The Secret Lives of Mormon?

43:39Big Little Feelings Hosts:You guys with the lip filler and sometimes, you know, yeah, do what you want to your faces. And I have done lip filler before. It did not look good on me. OK, I looked like a clown. I just think we're all morphing into each other. You know what I mean? Like everyone kind of is looking the same. Yeah. And I think there's going to be a time like there's like all these trends in beauty like 10 years from now, like little lips are going to be in again, I bet. Do you know what I mean? Like it's just you never know. So like, I mean, I feel like a hypocrite right now because I have a chin implant.

44:13Stassi Schroeder:It looks beautiful.

44:14Big Little Feelings Hosts:It looks great. It's like the best. Got it when I was 17. Did you really? It was my high school graduation present. I asked for it. My parents didn't gift it to me. Like, that would be crazy. Yeah. Then we could talk about that in therapy. In therapy.

44:30Stassi Schroeder:We're understanding now. No, I like begged for that. Yeah, that was my graduation present. Maybe we all never go back, though, to the thin eyebrows. Like, let's just probably will. Yeah. OK, I just don't want to do that.

44:41Big Little Feelings Hosts:I hope that I will laminate my brows until the day I die. I feel like it makes me look so much younger. Yeah. Like it just like lifts my eyes up. I love a brow.

44:51Stassi Schroeder:I love a brow. You've been really vocal actually about your Botox, though, because I just remembered. Right. You do like you. I don't know if you still do this. I do a lot of. I'm remembering a reel or something that you posted where it was like in your your traps and you're under your thing, like all of them.

45:05Big Little Feelings Hosts:Oh, yeah. And we even feel there's a scene where in House of Stassi where I'm getting that done. Yes. Botox all right here. Okay. Then I go like this. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. And I get it down here and then like right here and then I get it here.

45:22Stassi Schroeder:That's the one that I saw with you where I was like, I'm a big fan of Botox. Okay, great. I love that. Let's go to the next one. Last thing that made you laugh so hard you cried.

45:32Big Little Feelings Hosts:I don't know. Probably something Messer did because my son is turning into like, I feel like he'll be a class clown his timing you know what i mean but then like i'll laugh really hard and so then he repeats it over and over and over and over again because he's like oh saying that word is what gets me the laugh but he is very funny oh that's cute and what is one thing fans would genuinely be surprised to learn about you that's so hard because like i really like let it all out there i think that I'm really polite. I think people, when they meet me in person, they expect me to be like abrasive or maybe like rude or bitchy because people do come up to me like, you're the ultimate bitch.

46:13Big Little Feelings Hosts:And I'm like, I'm actually like, I'm, I'm from New Orleans. I'm very polite. Like I'm and sweet and I have manners. And I just like, don't think people expect that when they meet me.

46:24Stassi Schroeder:Right.

46:25Big Little Feelings Hosts:You know right yeah and i'm quiet like in a group i'm not really the one to like be doing the talking

46:33Stassi Schroeder:that is surprising yeah actually yeah that is surprising kind of like because i do it so much
