28:57Like, what are we not seeing that showed on Housewives? I mean, it was like, I mean, I feel like they did show over these years. I think. I don't really remember now. It's been so long. But it was like, you know, I don't even remember what the second office was, but the company getting bigger and then we need a bigger space like clearly we can't stay in this little space on south merveley drive then we needed a bigger space and then oh you know now we need more and more and they kept people kept coming and coming and coming and then you know honestly with with the the we had the best agents there was in town coming and then with the recognition from the show like more people wanted to join it became like and they just created this culture within the agency where it was like the cool spot to work and be is that how we met farah

29:39Michael Bosstick:Because, you know, Farrah's, she helped us with Melissa get in touch when we moved to Texas, but then she sold a condo for us. Is that how we met Farrah? I met Farrah because Farrah reached out to me on Instagram and said she loved my blog. And I was like, that was a long time ago. That was a long time ago. And then I, Farrah and I went to Dantana's and had the Nikki Hilton salad, which is so funny. So funny. And I told her, I was like, your mom needs to get on. At the time it was called Reward Style. I was like tell your mom to get on reward style because I would see your outfits on Beverly Hills and then I would see other people monetizing off your outfits yeah so like I would see I'm still not good about this by the way I gotta tell you off air I would see like like other sites putting like your sweater that you're wearing and all your stuff your iPads all the things and I was like buying your iPads and then like but you wouldn't get the commission no I and I would repost those people's stories for them and I was like I'm not making anything off this but whatever It's like 20 ,000 clicks they're making.

30:39I know. Okay. So I was like, your mom has to get on reward style. Anyways, that's kind of how we started becoming friends. And then it just, we've just been friends.

30:47Michael Bosstick:Because the reason I ask is because it was, I think in the earlier days of the agency and it was doing, it had a footprint and it was doing well, but like not nearly what it's doing now. And it was like her and a few other people that we know over here locally, but it was like, I think it was just the one office maybe. Well, Farrah, you know, she's, I mean, she is incredibly, I mean, I'm sure you know this. She's very, very smart, but I have to take a moment to brag. You know, she graduated. She went to NYU and then into USC, and she graduated magna cum laude. She's really brilliant. She's an incredible writer, too, which is why she loves to read, you know, blogs and things like that.

31:20But she immediately, people would love to say because she's our daughter, she works so hard. Yeah.

31:25Michael Bosstick:Oh, she's like one of the more self-motivated people that I've met. Unbelievable. The people that stop me on the street about her, you know, as an agent. and it just i'm always like i'm so proud you know i mean yeah you should be proud of her she's and she she is so down to earth from so many other of the people i've met in la because i was new to la i was from san diego she's so down to earth and what you see is what you get especially because of the profile of the family she comes from right like you don't she doesn't lead with that i guess that's what i'm saying well you know she even though you know obviously her dad you know was successful a lot of money and then when I married Mauricio she has two amazing dads by the way to be clear two amazing dads so but when Mo and I first got married we didn't have any money like she that's very much ingrained in her and we would tell her you know one day we're gonna have a house but we have to have enough cushions in the bank that's what we would say to her we have to have enough cushions like because we could buy the house we don't have money in the bank then so she would always say you know when how many more cushions do we need how many more cushions do we need.

32:29So she was always thinking like that, you know, like we have to work hard and like put our money away and save our cushions to buy a house. And she'd say, one day I'm going to have my own room. I don't have to share. And I can turn off my little lamp next to my bed. And she's always been like determined to like work hard. And, you know, so I'm really, I'm grateful that she has that because by the time we got to Portia, our life was very different. She is, she is a hard worker.

32:52Michael Bosstick:So when you're doing Housewives and you're expecting one thing and then it starts to get very personal and very aggressive really quickly what what's going through your head are you like this is this is great stay on the course you're like I gotta get the hell out of here oh my gosh over the years there's been so many different things where I've been like this is not what I was expecting I mean everything from season one like you just said yeah to now and I think in the beginning you know when I had the big blow up with my sister Kim in season one that was there was so much stuff you know going on off camera that I couldn't say on camera and I would never say and and I did not expect to be pushed to that limit even though you know anyway it was a lot you know going through that with my sister Kim and everything but of course then I'm like this is just too much you know and I remember them coming to me and saying we're going to show you this we're going to come to your house and show this to you and I was respectful oh yeah I mean the production company and Alex Baskin, who's our executive producer, they're not like the other shows I know because I've talked to the other franchises and our production people and producers run things very differently.

34:03And they came and they sat with us and one of the producers even cried with me. But of course those moments, I'm like, this is too much and I can't explain everything because certain family things you just can't share and explain.

34:17Michael Bosstick:Were they showing it to you kind of brace you for what was they were going to release or to kind of get your input on what they could release no no we don't have that yeah so they were like this is what's coming and what right and they felt bad but it was like it's literally was a season for not i thought it ended and it's like i mean i learned real quickly that you know you don't get to choose what you want shown and what you don't what you do and don't want shown but then even now it's like it's just too much because what happens is when people start to know your life and you know they'll send me a screenshot and say like, oh, I saw you had this shampoo in your shower.

34:49And you're like, oh, what is in the background? I didn't even know. Or I go to get like a lip gloss and the camera's like this, like, hold on, let me see what's in my drawer. My God. Oh, you're stressing me out because they are up in your business. And, you know, so sometimes they, the audience, which by the way, they're amazing. The fans are very passionate. They're like sports fans. but sometimes it's like my god they they really feel they you owe them everything and i'm like where do you draw the line where do you draw the line because you know like a lot of the girls in the show they'll keep like people they're dating private off camera and they don't want to talk about it and we all just kind of know we don't say anything but then all of a sudden the rules are different you know all of a sudden you're like wait a minute every no one here has shown and talked about so it can be very invasive and the audience does think you signed up for this is what you hear.

35:39You signed up for this. Do you want to see me going to the bathroom, showering, having sex too? Where do we draw the line? Yeah, I can understand that.

35:44Michael Bosstick:There's something with the platform that you're on that I think has people feeling more entitled than they would with, like, so for example, we do this show. We don't get that kind of reaction. People probably, you know, they want to know certain things, but they don't feel like they have a say, I don't think, in like how we live. But with you, it's like you've put yourself out so now we get to comment on everything, no matter how invasive the person is. But you're right. Do you want to see the colonoscopy it's like it's like you have they do you have to set your own they do they want to see they do want to see but there's what i'm saying is there's like an unspoken maybe rule that's like if you sign up for that then now we are entitled to be as invasive as we want to be there's it's 100 the the mindset and then also there's sort of this sort like i think because of what we represent like money and wealth and the sort of like you know it's opulence that you're like screw you too bad you have this problem yeah there's no sympathy for you so you get a lot of that and you know some days i'm like you know like it's very overwhelming you know like guess what i also have really bad days i have sad days some days i feel sorry for myself but i also feel sorry for myself sometimes too on certain days life gets hard and honest does it rattle you at this point or it's been so long and you've dealt with it for so many years that it's it doesn't rattle me anymore but it it i feel disheartened sometimes when i seek some comments and i'm like i mean honestly everything in the world today makes me feel like that i'm just like what are we living in but i don't i'm not effective i don't even i used to like block people and like i don't even care say your rude thing i don't care you want to say i'm ugly i'm stupid they hope i'm fired or whatever it is you know i i i learned a long time ago that all the love like we just said at BravoCon of like, ah, and then all the hate, neither one of it really means anything.

37:32Valerie Bertinelli came on the show yesterday and she said that too. And I have found the most evolved people in this business. You cannot read the positive or the negative. You said don't read the good or the bad. You can't read it. You're not, you're not so amazing. I remember my best friend, Laureen, who's passed away. You know, she's my best friend since I'm seven years old and people come up and be like, oh my God. And say, you know, they go over the top and she'd be like, why are they acting like that? I'm like, she's like, she would joke at me like, she's not so amazing. Calm down.

37:59Michael Bosstick:No, and you know, we just, we were recently speaking to your niece who like, I mean, Paris used to get nailed in the, like so bad, like maybe worse, like probably top five worse than anyone. Right. Like, so like if you could name five people that got nailed the most, like she's probably in that five or 10. Lindsay, Paris, that trio that you saw in that famous photo. Yeah. I don't know how those girls survived. Yeah. Yeah. But we were talking about this a little bit with her and she's like, you could get some point. block it off i mean i don't think people can get away with what they used to get away with anymore in the way that they used to write about those girls i think there's an experience stretching in the comments they can publicly they couldn't like people doing like this kind of a thing or like you know late night talk shows are getting called out for what they said to these girls but like the comments and things like that but i think about those three girls specifically all the time lindsey paris britney yeah because the the bullying and the abuse that these young girls endured at such a young age it literally could make me like get emotional it's it was so mean it was so cruel and i would see these things about paris i would get so mad like how do people talk to these people like this and everything was a lie everything was assumed and you know like it was so maddening and like to me i was a little kid when she was born to me paris is like my little baby sister even though she's my niece and i was like how do these girls get through that how do they survive that and if they can do that and i'm the age i am i can survive this too It's wild.

39:24I mean, they've got to like put some laws or parameters or something around it. It seems to me that the more hate you get, the more resilience you build, though. And you almost become unaffected by it and almost indifferent. Just become desensitized. We're just totally flatlined. Does that happen? We're just like, okay, you want to be mean. What else can you say? Right. I've said it all. I've heard it all. you put your marriage out on screen and everyone fell in love with you guys as a couple and you guys were married and i think this is very important to say for 30 years right 30 years i know i mean i might be done after 30 years it's a long time i joked the last time the last time i

40:05Michael Bosstick:saw mauricio i joked and i said do you get a new bracelet for every year he likes the he likes those bracelets in the summer oh my god his sack his midlife crisis stack i just saw someone call i like oh my god by the way i mean that's a good brand name midlife crisis yeah i'm like what i'm so funny because like people just love to come up with all of these things but yes i mean it is it's a long time to be married and long time it's a long time to be married and for a long time you know it was one of the things i was most proud of and you guys you guys are not divorced you call it a what it says on here i do there's a name for this there's a name i don't know where you got that from it's from the internet because i didn't come up with any okay hold on let me this is what We didn't do the consciously uncoupling.

40:46Post-separation. Post-separation. Is that right? Well, we're not legally separated, but we don't live together, but we haven't done any paperwork. How have you guys managed?

40:56Michael Bosstick:We talk about this all the time. Paperwork's kind of a pain. There's a lot of complications, especially with what you guys have built. I would say just maybe just keep it simple. If we decide to do a separation, it's going to be a similar vibe. Let's just keep it tight. There's so much to undo. It's like a ball of yarn. Yeah. Yeah, and then I see other people. strategic business move if we had to uncouple we'd have to just let it uncouple yeah let's just keep it tight so we don't have to go through all that well there's so many people now also on the show this season you know I'm seeing like what Dorit's going through and you know Rachel Zoe is you know filed for divorce and I mean everyone just does it their own way everyone does it differently it just depends like you guys get along well you know then you're not hopefully you can do it amicably and not hurt you know your children you know this is gonna be the next headline And Kyle Richards says, these women are hurting their children.

41:45That's not what I'm trying to say. Every separation is different. Every divorce is different. Every relationship is different. And, you know, this is what's working for us so far. And I say so far because obviously we're not going to stay in this gray area. But how have you guys managed to do it so gracefully? Because he came on our show, and I don't know if you heard the show, but he was really eloquent in the way he talked about you. And I feel like even when you guys are on the show, you can feel it's graceful.

42:10Michael Bosstick:Well, it feels like you guys still have a high respect for each other. Listen, I mean, you don't love someone that long and have that kind of relationship with them and just disappears. Like, I mean, I mean, unless one of them is a complete asshole and piece of shit, then I guess that would disappear. You know, we built this beautiful life together, this beautiful family. And yeah, I just don't, I mean, I have a lot of respect for him and I have a lot of love for him. and vice versa. So there's just been no reason to fight and not we haven't had somebody, you know, a third party pushing us to, you know, separate or file.

42:49So we've just been doing it on our own terms in our own time. Will you and Mauricio ever get back together? A million dollar question. What do you think? I mean, I'm asked that all the time by everybody. And I mean, listen, like I said, we will not always stay in this gray area. And there has been more talks about that as of recently i will say but you know kind of like tbd well i mean i listen the longer things go on like this it seems harder you know to think about how do you come back from this more normal it feels yeah exactly and kind of settling into this but i think both of us it's just hard to accept or acknowledge because it's it is such a big part of our identities you know being you know married so long but we've kept it so normal with our family and i could say you know for the kids it's not just for i mean them it's for us too and my kids are for the most part adults

43:43Michael Bosstick:so well i imagine there's like the other layer which is you guys are going through a lot of this publicly which i'm sure is not the easiest thing because again everybody has a comment and a perspective right everybody feels they're entitled to to tell you guys what to do oh everybody everybody and they're like hey it's gonna screw you and you need to do this you do that and I'm like okay okay okay you do you I know where you I appreciate your advice I know where it's coming from from your own past experiences they're projecting they're projecting one thing that I want to know as a mother of three is how you have managed to still have this tight-knit family into their 20s and 30s I really admire that what are some things that you guys do like is it weekly family dinner like what are the things you guys travel together well first of all I always say about parenting like you get out of your kids you put into them and the essence are babies like I said I was the mom that had you know the baby strapped on me at all times and we did the shared shared family bed which probably wasn't the worst thing in the world don't recommend but it worked for the kids still doing it yeah we did that for a long time yeah exactly no you said she sent me this video the other day of a bed that's like as wide as this table I was like I just he I guess he sold Eddie Murphy's house or something he's like he has a customized bed where all the kids would sleep in i was like oh great this is just what we need this is just what we need 20 foot long bed so we can never ever be alone you guys have girls though all girls right all girls okay like you can't have our grown sons laying in bed with like it's they need to go living with his mom for the rest of his life at some point they need to go off and be you know no men that can not be hard it's hard to what are you almost six feet sofia's five foot 10 and she would like get in bed with us i'm like there's like we got sofia there we got another one day about dogs and kids bracelets i don't care what anyone says i'm just gonna say this and maybe some of the moms or dads will get mad like you don't want to have a 10 12 year old boy laying and sleeping mom and dad you haven't met me no you haven't met me i'll be like get on mommy's lap i put him under my shirt like i'm still pregnant what if you met me and i was you know like hey i just got done sleeping with my mom like four years ago it's not about you no no no you would you had a hard enough time just like having a mother-in-law come in like that's let alone like we're not messing with our kids what are what are you what are the things that you do like what are the things like the mission statement of your family i mean yes we do everything together we are traveling together we do that a lot and we used to say that you know And we like to have them like, this is like out of touch, but I'm just going to say it anyway.

46:21Like when we would go on a boat, we loved because they couldn't escape. So they couldn't leave for like breakfast, lunch, or dinner. No, literally like you can't go anywhere. So we have you locked down for two weeks and it's breakfast, lunch, and dinner together. We need our books together and we loved that. Oh, yeah. That was a whole time that we saw you guys on the boat. That was too funny.

46:41Michael Bosstick:Oh, you remember that? Yeah, I do. Yeah. We were on Yacht Stalkers. There's an app called Yacht Stalker. Really? You were stalking us? Mm-hmm. This is a relatable conversation. Yes, very relatable. But no, what I do is like we do have family dinners. We go out dinner. We have dinner at home. We have game night at home. We have movie night at home. And, you know, my girls are my best friends. They are my favorite people in the world to spend my time with. And it is, I don't, not ever, not one time when I have all four together, does it ever pass me that I think to myself, I cannot believe that all four of these intelligent, beautiful, kind, funny girls, women are mine.

47:24And yeah, don't tell me, oh, they're not yours. We're just an incubator. No, no, no, they're mine. They're all mine. I made them. I carried them. And I look and I'm just like, I can't believe it. You know, God is good. God really, you know, did me right. And I just cannot believe that or these incredible people are like mine. I get to hang out with all the time. You really do have four solid children. From what I can see. I mean, I know one of them.

47:50Michael Bosstick:Well, and it's not easy in this city. No, it's not easy. It's not easy in the city. You've managed to raise them in a really humble way. Is there a takeaway for the audience there? Well, you know, like I said, when Mom and I were first married, we didn't have it. So Alexia and Farah especially saw us like, you know building and you know working really hard and then as we started to be more successful and make more money but then they just saw us both working really hard all the time and at first I had this sort of guilt because I had the kind of mindset of like stay-at-home mom all the time and then I was feeling guilty that I would go to work with Portia and then this girl I knew said to me from school mom at school said well why do you feel guilty don't you want your daughters to see working.

48:36Is that a good example? And I was like, oh, oh, okay. Yeah, you're right. So, you know, they've seen how hard that Mo and I have worked for what we have because we didn't have help from anybody. And so I think that helps in having it be a conversation. And, you know, they were not the girls that like got expensive handbags when they were, you know, 15, 16 and got to spend whatever they want. They had to really, you know, you know, I would give them a present here and there when they got straight A's and things like that. And it's open conversation because of where we live and what we do that we've had to make it like that.

49:10So, you know, I feel proud of the fact that they are down to earth in that sense, even though they have nice things and they come from what they come from.

49:18Michael Bosstick:How would you manage if there was other friends or kids at the school that were maybe living differently and getting access to all those things? What does the conversation look like to kind of ground your kids? Well, this is kind of interesting because i saw a friend of porsche's just god oh i shouldn't be saying this on here but she got a g-wagon for her 16th birthday and i was like whoa wow and i was like i cannot believe she got a g-wagon for 16th birthday and she said well why did you guys buy me my car then what was her car again i remember is the porsche mccann okay so it's not nearly as expensive as g-wagon but it's a very nice car and it's the nicest of the four daughters first cars but that was Mo and he was like she's her name was Porsche and she needs to have a Porsche I was like okay but so then she like pushed back well you did that so why did you think I'm like no I'm not judging I was saying and she's like no it felt like you were judging and you know I have a very nice car and I'm and I work really hard at my school and you thought I deserved it and I was like okay okay so you know there's people that have a lot more than my kids and people have a lot less and that's something that we talk about all the time too that's a good like a good way to look at it.

50:25There's people that have a lot less and there's people that have a lot more. It gives you context. They're very aware of that too. So that's the thing, you know, and she said like, oh, I felt a little bit uncomfortable. You know, I could tell she was uncomfortable in certain situations that we did give her that car. So, you know, that's all on Mo. You know what? Let's just blame Mo for all this. I am dying to ask you about your sobriety. You've been sober for four years? Almost. And in July, July 15th, that's four years. and were you just sick of being hung over like what was the reason that you decided no because i wasn't even a big drinker of course when i would go out with my friends or to a party i would have you know margaritas when you do the splits and if you haven't seen kyle do the splits go google it yeah unfortunately i feel like too many people have seen me do the splits but also like you know dinner and have a glass of wine or a couple glasses of wine but it was a combination of things you know i i am someone who like after i'd have a few drinks the next day i would wake up and feel depressed yeah i could just feel down what they what do they call it a another hangover melancholy like no it was like a anxiety anxiety there we go anxiety thank you karina i would get anxiety i'm an oversharer as it is so then i'd be like oh my god i shared too much but then i realized now that i do that without drinking anyway so it doesn't really matter but it was the timing it was i had just lost my best friend to to suicide and i couldn't afford a day to feel feeling depressed and I wanted to feel the best I could and you know physically and I thought okay well I'll just not have alcohol sugar carbs for a couple weeks and you know take a couple pounds off and all of a sudden it's sort of like I felt so much better and I look so much better and then two weeks became a month and then one month being two and I was like why do I need to go back to that again wait I can live my life have fun and never have anxiety again all three of my kids I have taken the same prenatal, essential prenatal by Ritual.

52:16We've talked about this. You know this. But let me tell you why this prenatal is legit. It's clinically backed, okay? Clean, traceable ingredients like choline, folate, and omega-3. We've had Gary Brecka on this podcast to talk to us about the importance of methylated folate, and that is in Ritual. Check that box. This is clinically proven to be well absorbed and demonstrated a more efficient utilization of folate versus a leading prenatal with folic acid. They also have a patented capsule that's designed to dissolve in the small intestine. So this is a really optimal place to absorb nutrients.

52:54We like this. Moms taking ritual, including me, reported that their prenatal was easier to swallow, gentler on the stomach, and a better overall positive experience than those taking a leading prenatal. It's a number one bestselling prenatal. I loved it. I've recommended it to all my friends. They have the only leading prenatal backed by its own human clinical trial. Check it out. Don't settle for less than evidence-based support. Save 25 % off your first month at ritual.com slash skinny. That's ritual.com slash skinny for 25 % off your first month. And just for the record, I do like Ritual's multivitamin too when I am not pregnant.

53:32Spring is here. Spring with Sam Edelman is here. It's all about refined luxury that moves with you. I just got a very cute ballet flat from Sam Edelman. It's the Ruthie woven ballet flat, and I just love this when I'm podcasting. So it really pairs effortlessly with a denim or a tailored pant. I like to be comfortable when I'm doing the show, so a ballet flat is the way to go for me. If you're more of a kitten heel girl, they also have a presley strappy kitten heel sandal. If you're looking for something more sleek or feminine, this is a really perfect one to wear for spring events and evenings out.

54:11And then they also have another one that's really cute. It's the Alley Ballet Flat. And this is like more of a timeless classic ballet flat. You can't go wrong when you go shopping on Sam Edelman. They really embrace a full 360 lifestyle from the perfect shoe to ready to wear pieces that anchor your full outfit. This brand is very strategic because they design for whatever the season is, which I think is great because obviously you want to wear different shoes in the spring than you do in the winter. What can we say? I feel like we're all the same like that. It's the season of stepping out, refreshing your wardrobe and embracing effortless polish.

54:46Definitely check out the Ruthie woven belly flat. That's the one I like. You can visit them at samedelman.com to explore everything you need for spring and get 15 % off with code SKINNY15. That's code SKINNY15 at samedelman.com. I have been using LTK, I want to say for, gosh, I don't know, 10 years, a long time. And the reason that I like it as not only an entrepreneur, but a creator is that it gives me the ability to organize and catalog my entire life. So everything from toddler favorites to home decor, to the candles that I like, to the nail polish that I'm wearing, even like what my phone case is, to Amazon favorites, to things that I think are investment pieces.

55:37I have thoroughly worked with my team to make sure that we do not miss a detail and everything is so organized for everyone to shop. So you can shop me on LTK as a creator under Lauren Bostic and you can really just get everything organized, everything shoppable, everything's tag saved, all the things. So instead of like screenshotting and like emailing yourself lost links, this is just an easy way to go back and find everything. Now, as an entrepreneur, if I'm putting on my founder hat, which I always am, I love LTK because my brand, The Skinny Confidential, is on LTK.

Introducing the Skinny Confidential Ice Roller. Reimagined. Think sleeker lines, a softer pink, a custom buttery dust bag, and a silver roller, not pink anymore, that is ice cold. I wanted to do a zhuzh on the iconic ice roller. I wanted to update it. This ice roller for me has always been more than just a tool. It's about helping us de-puff and sculpt and calm the skin in a way that feels intentional.

57:15And I wanted the ice roller to feel evolved. It's changed. You've changed. So yes, the new gorgeous, stunning, beautiful ice roller is still going to do the same things. It reduces puffiness and redness in your face. I used it this morning before I put on my makeup. It definitely helps with the under eye bags. Of course, it helps boost circulation and radiance. I just feel like it really helps stimulate blood flow and gives me that tighter, more radiant skin. And then it also is known to give you a smoother, tighter looking skin. So what I like to do is I like to combine facial massage with cold therapy.

57:51And this really helps give you a really nice foundation before you even apply your skincare. This ice roller for me is a full circle moment. I think that a lot of you bought the ice roller, you know, five, six years ago when we launched it. And now I am launching something that feels more in alignment with where you're at. It's so beautiful, you guys. Like it's just softer and more effortless in every way. And I really put my own touches on every single little step from the packaging to the colors to how it feels to even the roller. It's all been elevated just for you. So the ritual, the Lauren ritual is you do cold therapy to help fight inflammation.

58:36You roll it, you glide it across your face. I put it on my jawline, my neck, I roll it down. Your skin is just going to appear smoother and tighter before you go in for the kill with the skincare and the makeup. Don't skip the cold therapy. The new ice roller is an upgrade designed to meet the standards of today. And I hope you guys love it as much as I do. This is the beauty tool that started it all, redesigned to evolve with you. I'm showing it on YouTube too, if you're on YouTube, if you're seeing me visually. Get it while it's hot at shopskinnyconfidential.com. That's shopskinnyconfidential.com.

59:10How can you not have a glass of champagne during some of the housewives scenes? It's the weirdest thing. Like I just - You just don't want one. no that's if i feel like you have some of them are having a little too much champagne in those scenes yeah listen not drinking is a superpower it is a superpower i bet you feel fantastic

59:28Michael Bosstick:i feel so good now then you have your your wits about you too oh yeah and the next day when they're saying things i'm like that's not what happened let me tell you because i was the only one not drinking last night so they don't remember exactly how the story went well i mean in times in my life if I see this happen with people, I'm not saying on my show necessarily, because honestly, our show, there are not a lot of big drinkers. You're right. No, really not. The biggest drinkers I'm going to say is New York. I'm going to agree with that. I've seen some really big drinkers on New York, and I'm just like, oh my God, that is, that's a lot.

1:00:01I, you know, I just did the Ultimate Girls Trip. Yes. Tell us about that. Give us a little juice on that. Well, I was like, why would I do this when I'm like off not shooting the housewives like what but it was the OG one so I felt like I have to do this I've been you know they're this long on the show so it was Vicky from OC let me go through this I don't forget anybody god forbid it was Luann from New York love Portia from Atlanta Teresa from New Jersey Giselle from Potomac and then Lisa Barlow from Salt Lake okay and it was just a lot of personalities and i haven't seen all the shows you know up to date but so many personalities and like so much going on really overwhelming but what i realized is like some of them i like we would stop at these different cities and we'd meet other all the other houses that come in from the franchises and i saw like some big blowout fights happen hopefully the cameras captured it oh they did but i was like these people are hardcore like we are monks in Beverly Hills guys the real houses of Beverly Hills are monks at this point and I was like how I would I would kill somebody they I've heard someone say something that someone's kid and then they were calling someone up I don't even I can't even say other things because I don't know what we shown I won't be shown I don't want to get in trouble for but do you feel like the new franchises

1:01:22Michael Bosstick:they kind of got to enter in with a step up in order to compete with the older ones yeah like I feel like I don't know but this was they didn't even need to do this we're like we're just celebrating 20 years of housewives why are you coming in here so so it was just interesting to see it's nice though because you get to be sort of the voice of reason and set back a little bit probably when they're like da-dun-dun-dun oh yeah i was like literally in the middle oh and they're fighting and then they're like kyle this is not what happened this is what happened she did this i'm like listen i'm not your therapist guys and then i'm we met the rhode island girls the new Rhode Island girls.

1:01:52How's that? Oh, that was another situation. I was like, I literally feel like Mother Teresa sitting in this room and they start coming in and they, the personalities flying and things coming out their mouths. And I was just like, oh my God, one point I had to yell, everybody stop talking. And I was like, I have to, I have to leave the room for a minute. I was so overstimulated by one million housewives. That's intense. And those OGs, each of them brings something very different to the table oh yeah i mean theresa mixing with lisa

1:02:26Michael Bosstick:barlow just luann alone luann's been on the show she's fun she's funny she gave a little of course she's saying which that didn't go over very well with a couple of housewives on the show they didn't want her to sing or they didn't like what she was singing why like you're like no ma 'am enough with that singing really i would have like recorded a beat with her it was so funny you'll have to wait It's even that I was very entertained by that. I cannot wait. So the sobriety, are you committed to being sober for the rest of your life? Are you committed to just today? What's your vibe on it? I never put a timeline on it because I just didn't want to do that to myself.

1:03:03I mean, but now I would be so disappointed if I did drink, even though I didn't have a problem before. Yeah. You know, so I'm like, when I do go out in public and I say, you know, do you have a non-alcoholic you know sparkling wine or you know non-alcoholic beer i'm paranoid because people watching and i'm like first of all i need to look at the bottle because i have to see it myself that has no alcohol and then i ask them to leave it on the table because i don't want someone saying i saw kyle richard and i saw a beer bottle and she's a liar because that happens all the time just being accused of lying so but if i had accidentally taken a sip of something with alcohol i would be really like tortured because i'm very like you know like capricorn in me i'm like no no no I have to stick with this and be so I don't know I don't I don't see myself drinking but who knows I mean it's inspiring it is inspiring to watch also your fitness journey it feels like you got into weightlifting right I do I yes I mean I mean what I call weightlifting I use weights every day but I mean I don't think I'm cool enough to say weightlifting because they're not like huge I didn't want my my arms started to get a little too big for a little bit I thought I was doing a good thing and I was like oh no I don't like that now I gotta go back I have that I know.

1:04:15Have you ever heard of hay mod arms? Like you say hay mod across the street. You go hay mod. Why mod? Because this mod's like, it's a little wiggle. It's called hay mod arms. I don't like this. You know the neighbor that says hay mod. Now I'm feeling through my sweater. I don't know if I like this.

1:04:30Michael Bosstick:I find it so funny when women say that they're like, they start weightlifting. Like I'm just getting way too strong, way too big, way too. It's like, do you know how hard it is to like guys? Like that's all we do is like try all day. Yeah, because you want to be big. Yeah, but it takes for like it it takes like years to just put on like Chris is over. He knows you guys like I'm just too jacked right away. It's been two weeks of lifting weights. Well, I thought I was, you know, I wanted to look really good for Alexia's wedding. And I was like my dress was strapless. I'm like, I need my arms to be looking really good.

1:04:57And honestly, after having four kids and your weight goes up and down, up and down, up and down. It's not easy. That's like one of the hardest areas to hit is the arms. So I started increasing the weight thinking I'm going to burn and make him really. Well, my arm looked big in this picture to me. And I was like, that's not what I wanted. and I got to go back and lower that down and I'm sorry that I get so buffed so quickly. This is not my problem. I don't see anything big. I think you're wearing a sweater. No, now it came down.

1:05:21Michael Bosstick:Now I need to know about your supplement stacks. I want to know what you're doing to put on this massive muscle. Oh, I am taking peptides. Oh, you are? Which ones? Oh, you got to tell us what peptides you're taking. Apparently the one that helps the memory doesn't work because I can't remember the name of the peptides. But I think, Chris, help me out. G-H-K-C-U? Yeah. Oh, you're doing the glow stuff. that's like skin hair right is that the one that you're doing too yeah hello can you not see the glow and then i take the one that hurts when i put that's the only one that hurts when i injected the blue one i think that was for the muscle repair and stuff the bpc bpc 157 uh-huh i take that that's good it's good for recovery what else do i take chris ghk cq what is that oh my god who the hell could remember please explain to me how everyone is supposed to remember all of these things.

1:06:04What does each one do? One's for glow. I just stab myself and hope for the best. Okay. I mean, I literally pinch and stab it in there. And I'm like, this is somebody who had to go to hypnotherapy because of my fear of needles. I do not care. I'm not one of these people who's going to say, you know, I earn these wrinkles, you know, I want to age gracefully. By the way, I'm impressed by those people and I admire them. That's not for me. No, that's not for me either. I can take a peptide and it's going to, you know, take away lines and use my red light therapy mask. Oh, I'm doing every single thing.

1:06:33I will do every single thing until I'm rigamortis in the ground. I want Karina to do my makeup when I'm laid to rest. I want you to fan my hair out, Chris. I better be looking so fucking hot. And by the way, I don't even mean like, you know, like I want to look good, like not like because I actually don't love to wear makeup. I don't love to wear makeup, but I want to look good so that I don't have to wear makeup. I want to look my skin feel good and be healthy from the inside out. What are other beauty secrets, tips, tricks that you do? Okay, well, the peptides is a huge thing. Okay. And I never talk about this just because I don't know why.

1:07:08No one's really asked me, but like I do hormone replacement therapy. And does it work? Absolutely. Is it the pellet or the shot? I do the pellet. Okay. And does it put it in your ass? Does it hurt? Yeah, when I say that, somebody thought actually putting up in my ass in me clear that it's in the butt cheek a pellet up her ass no but like more this is a

1:07:29Michael Bosstick:in my butt cheek to be clear but this is now this is becoming a lot more women are starting to talk about this and didn't they just pass new laws or regulations to to push this through a little bit more didn't something happen i have been reading about that yes see i i and i hope that that you You know, I like that it's more of an open conversation now. Yeah. But like I watched my mom just be terrified, honestly. And she had her last period like 40 years old. And I just remember her being like moody and edgy. And like I can remember her with a fan all the time. And I was like, I do not want to be like that.

1:08:04I'm never going to ever be like that. So I had a promise with my best friend, Lorene, like if we ever see that happening, we need to like talk to each other. because I don't think my mom and all these people I've seen go through this realize that how scary they are and we have to be watching each other so I was like when do I start that how soon and I literally got ahead of it and you know I battled my weight my pretty much you know when I was younger that was always like my thing my sisters were blonde and skinny and I was like curvy and you know so I was like I don't want that to happen to me I want to be like fit and I really feel like it does really help make a difference okay yeah we've had a bunch of people come on the show as

1:08:42Michael Bosstick:they mark systems one of them as they get older and it's but i always tell people is it's like it's not a matter of if it's just when like for sure i will look at that stuff as they start to get older because they've seen the quality of life of so many people like change for the better and we talk to older people on the show and they say that like that their sex life changed their energy changed they're happier they're healthier they're managing weight and so why would you not access those tools if you can 100 and i can i can like kind of tell when someone's not taking it and should be. Oh, oh.

1:09:11I'll have to look for that look on your face. Am I going to get, am I going to be like raked over the coals for saying that? No, I think. Chris is saying yes. Chris.

1:09:18Michael Bosstick:There's no more coals for you to be raked over at this point. I know, they're raked over every coal. Bring it on. No, I can look and think, okay, I can tell this person is not taking that and they should be. And I've sent many people, you know, I just think that whatever you can do. If you were specific about the person, that might be a coal. Yeah, exactly. No, no, no. Yeah, no. But no, I've sent many, many friends and maybe a couple housewives too. There's a whole nother show on your inner monologue. Oh, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. This is true. This is true. The real inner monologue. Your mom carrying a fan is so 360 because Kathy's fan.

1:09:51Oh yeah. I have the pillow. I got the pillow. Oh my gosh. I got the pillow. I got the fan. I don't need the fan. I just think it's funny. Kathy? But my mom had a hand fan. Oh, a hand fan. with a big, big, like big, huge, like plug-in-the-wall fan. What about the, I got the handheld fan that she had, the little round one. Yeah, she does that too. I gotta get a robe. Oh my God,

1:10:09Michael Bosstick:we ran into her at the airport the other day with Rick and there was like three dogs and like fans. Ten pillows. Ten pillows. And then like they were late to the flight and it was like, Hilton, Hilton. It was like, screw it. Like, oh my God. Oh my gosh. The dogs were going nuts. My God. She's a lot. She's a lot. She's hysterically funny though. She is definitely. Hysterically funny. Yeah, she is. She is very, very funny. Okay, so tell us about your production company and tell us about the new season of The Lincoln Lawyer. So my production company is called House of 18. And, you know, all four of my girls have 18 on their birthdays, one and eight next to each other.

1:10:45On the 18th, they're the one eight lined up. So it's just been my good luck number always. That's why my Instagram is Kyle Richards 18 and all that. But so we called the production company that and I have two shows, like I said, that are in development and two shows. I'm trying to think of the wording. What is this called? I think that is one is like in early stages of development and the other two are like farther along in the process. You know, like scripts being written actually currently right now. Yeah, like pre-production. Is it like based off a book or is it something that you're creating out of nowhere?

1:11:16Something I love to read. So like one of the ideas is something I just came up with that I was inspired by an article I had read. years ago. And another one is inspired by just real life things that are going on. And another one is just a story that happened to me years ago. So I, you know, some of them are inspired by some of the stories I came up with. And I really love doing that. Like to me, I'm, everything turns into like a story in my head. I'm in my car. I don't listen to music. Usually I'm just literally just thinking of stories. Well, there's a lot to think about with everything you've got going on in your life.

1:11:49I mean, I'm sure there's all kinds of different stories. Well, now I have like, it's just so strange because my life has taken such an interesting like turn. So my life is not what it used to be at all, as you may have heard.

1:12:01Michael Bosstick:You've read a couple things. The dynamic at my house is a very different situation now. But yeah, and then, you know, and so I'm really enjoying the producing and then the acting is just my first love. That's what, you know, I've done since I'm little and being able to do, you know, all of that has been great. you know, the housewives, which is stressful. No, but then when I'm creating and producing and I'm acting, it's just I just feel only excitement all the time. You know, I don't even if it's I always compare like, you know, I remember when I was shooting the last Halloween movie. It was the Halloween before that one.

1:12:31Halloween kills. And I was four o 'clock in the morning in a swamp and they had men in the swamp with me with headlamps on with rubber suits up to here looking for snakes and alligators and I was getting in there with them and I thought I would rather be doing this how scary is that I don't know if you're doing this you literally get in the swamps with the alligators and snakes for a living on a daily basis at Beverly Hills getting in a real one's like easy well I went up because they'd only told me about the alligators and I was like I'm not not doing this because they had a stunt person I was like there's no way I'm letting a stunt person do this so I went up to the man who had like the stick with the thing for the alligator wrangler and I was like didn't want the director to hear me and I was like so can you just tell me like what are the chances of there really being like an alligator near me and he was like if I were you if it was a snakes I'd be more worried about than the alligators and I was like no don't do the snakes nobody told me about but I was like I just love that you know I love that and I have this sense of like pride after an accomplishment so I love doing that and then this season doing Lincoln lawyer i've had more compliments and nice messages from people people like you know all over they're just like only nice things which you know you know when you do the housewives you get such a mix and you're like god this is really nice and people say god you know you're a but it feels like now

1:13:48Michael Bosstick:like people are on your side and really rooting for you you feel like that that's shifted over the years like we're like it feels like more positive than negative it's i mean i have to say i'm fortunate in the sense that it's you know you see comments in the you know like we say on Instagram or like you know on page six and things like that and there'll be mixed things but like people DMing me and coming up to me are always overwhelmingly positive and supportive and you know they really do feel like they know you you know they'll say can I hug you and you know wrap arms around me and give me a hug and people love you and they'll say like thank you and they'll say like you know I've been watching you're going through them you know with Mauricio and you know your journey and this and that and that's like the sweet part you know has it ever worked out for any of the husbands now that we never got that figured out i think i think mo's come out pretty much unscathed he they give him a little bit of hard time now because you know but he was never really in there squabbling with the girls right like he didn't no yeah like the guy whenever i see that i'm like oh that's not gonna end well for you i know no he's not there squabbling with the girls i gotta ask you brad or angelina or both i said that i'm taking both okay you're taking both yeah i'm greedy here's the thing i said there's a couple reasons why i said that first of all, everybody was like, you know, there was so much gossip about me and everybody was like trying to dance around the question, but they just kept, you know, coming to me, coming, coming to me.

1:15:08So I thought I'm going to, A, you know, say something to like make them laugh and maybe shut them up a little bit. And the other side of that is like, I don't know. You know what? I've changed over these past few years. I've evolved. I've grown. And what can I say? I'm open-minded you know that's a great place i'm still about myself i will tell you you must know that you are very good on a mic i've not heard you on a lot of podcasts is this the first podcast you've ever done no i just don't do them often you did juicy scoop i heard you i did a long time yeah and i did jackie schimmels yes yes because i know jackie i'm a fan of hers i just and i'll you know i've done teddies because she's my best friends and other than that i don't usually do them but then you guys are so close to farah and then mo was on here and kathy and paris i'm like
