for your wedding. I was like, I'm taking notes on
like things that I also would do, except your come down,
I would take at least a week off.

biggest regret was I wish you would have stayed in
like put to me to on Sunday even come back Monday,
you know, but just like had that like rest and
relax instead of packing and like trying to Like our
room was totally disheveled because that's where we got ready.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
Where half of my stuff is, so like trying to
not in a bad way, but like trying to pack
and remember everything was just like hen house.

Speaker 4 (02:15):
It was just like.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Mayhem, I know, and it was like such a gorg,
Like you really didn't need to go anywhere. You could
have just stayed for a couple of days and yeah,
that's okay.

Speaker 4 (02:24):
Robbie had to get back.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
Robbie had He's just been so busy with work that
he was like, I couldn't have stayed in one more day.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
Well that makes me feel a little bit better that
it wasn't like just me.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Right, you were in it together. Yeah, what a beautiful
start to your marriage, just like together.

Speaker 4 (02:38):
Yeah, grinding to the top. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
People are loving the wedding content. I was saying, like,
between Sam's footage and bringing Ashley, who who helps you
with social media?

Speaker 3 (02:50):
If there are any brides out there that need or
are thinking about having a content creator at their wedding
having Ashley was.

Speaker 4 (02:59):
Like, I haven't even posted that.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
She She's sortad of like made tiktoks and videos. It's
like in like a finished thing for me from my wedding,
and I've been watching those. I haven't even posted any
of them because I've just been posting all the other
content that I have. But yeah, I mean she was
top to bottom amazing.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Because even if you don't, like even if you're not
a content creator like an influencer, and you're like, I
don't need to share everything online. I think just having
the videos and the footage to reminisce, and like she
caught mo, she got so many just moments of things
that happened.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
And like she she made a video of me, like
I probably won't post it because it's like very emotional,
but it was of my dad and it was like
to everybody else, she's the bride, but to me, she's
my baby girl.

Speaker 4 (03:43):
And it was like all these videos of like my.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
Dad throughout the weekend and like to this beautiful song,
you know, and I'm like, I probably won't post that,
but just having that, you know, because our videographer, I
have no idea what he's gonna send me, Like do
you know what I mean? I have no idea what
like what I'm gonna get, uh, but I know I
already have some good stuff, so like whatever.

huge one. How's married life one week down? I know,
Oh my gosh, today's your week anniversary?

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Yeah, he was like it'd be one week anniversary of like, cu,
we did it, we made it. Married life is different really, yeah,
how so I felt like after we got engaged it
felt different. It's like a different level of commitment, and
then marriage is like another level of commitment. So it's

(04:38):
almost just like you feel like, I don't know, it's
not safer because I always felt safe, but it's just
like this.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
I don't know. Maybe it's just me.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Well, I don't think it's just you. I always hear
people say that, but I also think that was always
something very important to you, was like the like safety,
safety and commitment of each step of getting to where
you are. Now. Yeah, once you have a baby, y'all
are locked in.

Speaker 4 (05:01):

Speaker 4 (10:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
I can't imagine her missing it. Well, that's exciting.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
I am excited. Just me and the bros, You and
the bross.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
Speaking of Tanya rad Yad, you change your Instagram name.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
I changed my name, but not my handle, right, What
are your thoughts on that?

Speaker 4 (10:41):
Keep the handle as it is?

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Right, I say, keep the handle as it is because
you're still Tawny rad Yad. So Tanya Rad's still your name, right,
you know it's like your middle.

Speaker 4 (10:52):
Name, right, no need to like. But it's also like
you could just change the R to the hy Tanya. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Yeah, and no, maybe people won't even notice a difference
because I just type in t A N to get
your name to pop up. They're not like typing in
the whole thing.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
Yeah, what if people type in rat to find me?
It'll probably heavens I'll lose those people too risky.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
Yeah, I feel that feels like more of a month
long into marriage decision rush.

Speaker 4 (11:24):
Yeah, not a weekend. How are you feeling post wedding?

Speaker 2 (11:28):
I feel like I'm the one who just got wet,
Like I feel like I'm still recovering. But that could
just be from the self induced situation that I gave
myself and my body.

Speaker 3 (11:40):
Video of you taking the shot is diabolical.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
It really is, because like even I was shocked by
how well I faked it, Like I even surprised myself.

Speaker 3 (11:50):
Robbie goes she could have made a face, but the
body that she made was like, took it to a
whole other level.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
Had to sell it, and people were like, she gave
it away by not using her line. But I never
used my line. Fun fact, fun fact, I never used
my line. It's already it's already so bad that, like,
my focus is just getting the shot down. I don't
need something else.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
Did Sam Did you know that she had water? And
that was why were you filming that? You're just filming
us taking shot together?

Speaker 4 (12:22):
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
The best part is that so Jordan and Jojo knew
how sick I was, and so they're in their seat,
which we were on the dance floor. They were in
their seat, which was kind of a distance, but like
they had a straight shot to watch me do it.
So when I finished, they were like wide eyed and
like clapping for me. And I was like, I took

(12:44):
water and they were like, no.

Speaker 4 (12:46):
I feel so lied to that whole day, like fully
lied to.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
It was for the the the cause. It was for good.
It was for good. All of it was for good,
because I my whole intention was like, okay, you did
this to yourself. It was so stupid, like why how.

Speaker 4 (13:06):
Did you have so much fun if you were so sick?
Like you looked like you were having a good time.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
I had a great well by that point, I did
have a great time.

Speaker 4 (13:13):
Oh you weren't sick anymore.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
At the nighttime, I was not gonna risk it, but
I ate Haley's buttered noodles. That was the first thing
I ate, and I was like, I need something plain.
I can't risk it. So I ate the buttered noodles
and a coke and then I was like I was
good after that.

Speaker 4 (13:28):
Okay, so you weren't like.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
Sick, no, no, no, okay, I would say. Once we
got to the ceremony part. I was okay. I think
being outside and having the fresh air, I was like
very relaxed and just like happy that I made it.
For the relief that flooded me that I made it
to that moment, oh sigh of relief. But anyways, it
was like crazy waking up because I was like you,

(13:52):
I was stewing someone the other night, like I have
never used mental strength like that, where I was like, gay,
your ass up, this is your best friend's wedding. You
did this to yourself, figure it out, Like I was
like using it.

Speaker 3 (14:08):
I was.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
There was no gentle parenting with myself.

Speaker 4 (14:11):
I mean, it's so crazy.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
Looking back on videos and stuff, I'm like, hmm, yeah,
I see it now.

Speaker 4 (14:18):
But in the moment I didn't see it at all.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
Yeah. Well I didn't think you would because you had
so much other Like I knew that I could get
away with being a little under the radar, under the radar.
Well I wasn't under the radar. I was dying laughing though,
because so all my brain was thinking. Because they told
us you have to be ready for photos at one
and then after that we weren't needed until three point
thirty on the schedule, uh huh, And so I was like, Okay,

(14:43):
we're probably gonna finish pictures at like one thirty one
forty five. I can go back to the room, just
lay down and just like recharge. Kara the photographer was like, Beca,
can you go put your dress on so that we
can get Tanya into her dress? And I was like, oh, yeah,
of course, it's just like golf corded back to the

(15:05):
room like no, not for no, not for but yeah.
I think it was also like the adrenaline and like
happiness of the day helped me too. And the zo
frin dangne with the zo friend dang. But anyways, Yeah,
the shot video is so good.

Speaker 4 (15:21):
I couldn't believe we got that on film.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
But also I would have been so upset because if
I had had tequila, I would have taken the whole thing,
and you took like a baby sip.

Speaker 4 (15:31):
So that's my trick.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
Well use half. But I don't even think half went
down that.

Speaker 4 (15:36):
I never got drunk that night. Drunk.

Speaker 3 (15:40):
I was tipsy, but I think it's because I take
little SIPs here and there.

Speaker 4 (15:46):
Do you think I got drunk?

Speaker 2 (15:48):
I would say you were a little past tipsy, but
you weren't. You weren't like slopped, like nothing.

Speaker 3 (15:53):
No sloppy, I remember everything, like no blackouts, no, like
the perfect level.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (15:59):
The trick is whoever downs in a full shot like
that is like a psychopath.

Speaker 4 (16:04):
Those things are huge.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
Yeah, and I did like eight of them on Thursday night.

Speaker 3 (16:10):
It's crazy without eating, like everybody, from now on, we
need to make a rule from now on, shots seem
to be filled up halfway. A full shot glass is
way too much after the age of thirty five that
I agree with.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
Yeah, because we.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
Named Paulina, Like from now on, Paulina, there is a
no that's that says, from now on, shot glasses to
be filled halfway if you are thirty five years or older.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
My period part was like Paulina because it was like
every shot I took, Paulina was taking a shot at
that time too. It was a diabolical duo. And the
next morning she was like, I'm so I'm having so
much anxiety, like what did I do? What did I say?
And I was like, I'm so sick. I haven't even
gone to the anxiety part yet. I haven't even thought

(16:57):
about what I said or did because I'm so ill.
I had to just let that go. I had to
go Whatever I said or did has to be in
the past. I have to hope that I was at
least charming and funny enough to get away with it.

Speaker 3 (17:12):
I think you were all fine, because everybody's been texting
me all week saying how amazing my friends are and wow,
so nos.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
Sorry that you have to have such great friends.

Speaker 4 (17:23):
No notes.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
I went to Rachel Kirconnell did a collab with this
clothing brand called Chopo, and so.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
She had at my hotel with rude Rachelconnell event the
week after I get married at my hotel and don't
send me an invite.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
You know what's so funny? I was like, my best
friend got engaged here and she had her bridal shower
here because it was in the same area. And I
was like, man, that really is just really significant for
me in my life, Like no one else cares. Was
She like cool, Everyone's just kind of like, oh, yeah,
it's really pretty here. Okay, I've been in a bubble,

(18:01):
I've been.

Speaker 4 (18:01):
In Susie cares.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
Susie cared, Susie would carry yeah, yeah, I love Susie.

Speaker 4 (18:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:08):
She told me when I didn't have a videographer. She's like,
I was about to dust off my camera and come
out to Mexico for you.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
I just love her. She's so creative and she's so kind.
I texted her after I saw her. I was like,
you're such a breath of fresh air. Like you're so sweet,
you're kind, you're warm. Yeah, she's so beautiful.

Speaker 4 (18:24):
Yeah, she's really warm.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
Yeah. It was like a bunch of bachelor girls, but
I was by far the oldest. That's always like a
funny thing for me. Like when we take the group picture,
I'm looking around, like, dang, y'all, I came way before y'all.

Speaker 3 (18:39):
The age thing is starting to like pop up more
for me as well. Like I don't know like what
my algorithm is like doing lately, but like I'm being
targeted with like all these fertility stats.

Speaker 4 (18:48):
Oh no, and I keep sending them.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
To Robbie and he's like, babe, you have to stop
sending me these. It's like, maybe that's why they keep popping.

Speaker 4 (18:57):
Up my algorithm, because you're talking about it sending them
to him.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
Oh yeah, yeah, that's how it works. That's actually exactly
how the algorithm works.

Speaker 3 (19:05):
So I'm feeding my own algorithm. But yeah, I like
keep getting these like stats where it's like age thirty
or this percent likely to conceive at the age thirty five,
or this percent likely to conceive at age forty or
like two percent likely.

Speaker 4 (19:17):
I'm like, I like, you're.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
About to start the process, so I think that it's
like you'll figure like you once you start going, then
we'll see what happens, like you haven't even tried yet.

Speaker 3 (19:28):
Correct.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
But anyways, Rachel, I want her to come on the
podcast to ask her, did you do some work? There
was like a lot going on, but I tried to
like squeeze it in there of like oh, like I
was trying to be like we should do dinner type thing,
not immediately like come on the pod, surety? Did? I mean?
What else is she going to say?

Speaker 4 (19:47):
I mean so much, we have different perspectives, different.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
Question She is so shockingly stunning in person, but you
know what's crazy? She was like, it made me realize
Instagram is such a Instagram and social media in general
is such a not reality because you see Rachel and
obviously she's doing like all these amazing things and she
has so much love and support, but in my head.

(20:12):
I was like, you kind of forget, like she's still
going through like a really hard breakup, and it's just
a reminder of like like she she seemed great and
she seemed happy, but there's also I was thinking about, Wow,
you see these people on apps and TikTok and everything
looks amazing, and you're almost like, wow, she's thriving, and
she is, and she's just going through something hard.

Speaker 4 (20:34):
You know, she look sad, No, she seems sad.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
I think she was just like I'm staying busy. She
just made the comment like I'm staying busy, and I
was like, oh, yeah, like you're literally going through something
really hard publicly and people weighing in and having opinions
on every little thing you do. But she's stunning, queen.

Speaker 4 (20:57):
You know who else has opinions about every little thing
that she does?

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Ellen Pompeo.

Speaker 4 (21:01):
Yeah, we're gonna get into that when we come back.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
Nice, all right, we're back. So Ellen Pompeo was on
call her daddy. Yes, And I don't listen. I'm not

(21:26):
a huge podcast girly, which I know is funny, but
like I don't listen a lot, Like I don't listen
to every Call Her Daddy podcast that same, but the
few that I've listened to have all been really good, Like,
I've been very entertained and like loved the interview. I
thought this was one of Alex Cooper's best interviews that
she conducted. Okay, I just felt like she was I

(21:50):
appreciated the fangirl energy because you could tell, and she
even posted I've interviewed so many people, this is the
first time I'm like really fan girling, and I was.
I really felt connected to Alex in that moment. You know,
like she's on such a massive scale of what she does,
and yet she had the same reaction to Meredith Gray

(22:12):
that like we would have to her, you know.

Speaker 4 (22:14):
I feel like ours would be a little different.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
Well, we'd have to, like I would have to pick.

Speaker 4 (22:19):
My ass off the floor.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
Yeah, but I'm saying we would. Yeah. She was maybe
a little more polished than we would be. Poised, Yeah, poised,
But I still could feel the respect and energy that
she had for her.

Speaker 4 (22:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
But I was so fascinated by so many parts of
the conversation because Ellen actually shared a lot more than
I expected her to, because I just what she just
talked about behind the scenes stuff and like she talked
about the money thing of how she was perceived when
she what her remember when she went in she she

(22:56):
asked for a raise and they gave a her and
it was I can't remember the number of episode right, No.

Speaker 4 (23:02):
Not an episode or season or was like an episode
would make her like twenty how many episodes? Twenty million
a season?

Speaker 2 (23:13):
Regardless, she went in and asked for and she got it,
And she said that her agent or manager was like, hey,
just to be so you're prepared. Not everyone's gonna support
you when this comes out, like you're gonna have people
that are like, you don't deserve this, why are you
getting this? And she was like, I was so grateful
that he prepared me for that, because I was like,
why wouldn't people be happy for this?

Speaker 4 (23:36):
You know what I found to be interesting.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
I found it interesting that she went to Shonda first
and told her how much she was.

Speaker 4 (23:43):
Going to ask for. She didn't need to do that.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
I thought that was really cool and like classy, you know,
because she's like, I wouldn't have I wouldn't be where
I am without Shonda.

Speaker 4 (23:53):
Yeah, So I'd like that little.

Speaker 3 (23:55):
Like kind of insight into it. But also I just
find it so interesting because it's like, you know, I
talk a big game of like I'm a modern woman.
I do what I want, I stand up for myself,
but like when it comes to money, I do crumble.

Speaker 4 (24:08):
And I find myself like I can get bullied, and
I've been bullied.

Speaker 3 (24:12):
Many many times down and like hearing them talk about it,
I'm like, I have to stand stronger in my convictions
and I have to, Like I think, as women, we
are made to.

Speaker 4 (24:25):
Feel like we should be lucky to be.

Speaker 3 (24:28):
Where we are and we're not given information and we're
kind of like all of these things, and it's it's
been such a hard thing because I'm like, I'm so grateful.
I love what I do, and so I've never wanted
to like push the boundary or ask and like Ellen
even Seanda even said, no one's just gonna give it
to you. You have to ask, and it's such like

(24:49):
a tricky thing. And I find myself like I found
myself being very inspired and like motivated from that conversation
because i feel like.

Speaker 4 (24:58):
I've been very pad leading up to now.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
She also talked about how Patrick Dempsey got paid a
significant amount more than her and she was like, no,
like discredit to him, like everyone knows who he is.
He had a bigger name than me. But she was like,
he had thirteen failed pilot pilots before Grace, And she
was like, and I was the name of the show,

(25:25):
Like my character was going to be the name of
the show. So she was like, it wasn't about what
he got. It was more so about that they didn't
value me at the same level that they valued him
when I was like coming in as the namesake of
the show. I also loved what she talked about parenthood
because she was saying that she didn't necessarily want kids

(25:45):
and her husband wanted kids, and she's like, well, you
should have talked to me, like before we got married.
And obviously she ended up having a baby. But she
was telling Alex because Alex was saying, you know, I
fear the process of juggling motherhood and my career, and

(26:06):
am I gonna be dropped in my career just because
I've become a mom and have to focus on something else.

Speaker 4 (26:11):
I think that's something every woman thinks about.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
I think about that too, But I loved Ellen was like,
it will make you the best version of yourself and
you can't give one hundred percent to both, like it's
impossible because we're not made to be able to do that.
But you'll figure out the balance basically. And I thought
I thought she was so she's tough, but there was
like a moment of like nurturing to Alex that I

(26:35):
felt a lot throughout the interview where I was like, wow,
because she even says she's she's like tough, She's not.

Speaker 4 (26:43):
No, no, I imagine her being very tough.

Speaker 3 (26:48):
But I think that that's something that I mean, it's
crossed my mind so many times. I haven't stepped away.
I haven't taken time off of my job, like not
I don't really know how to explain it for people
that like aren't like in it, but like I haven't
taken multiple days off of my job where like our

(27:09):
show isn't on vacation.

Speaker 4 (27:10):
Does that make sense? Yeah, until my wedding, and I've
been doing it for fifteen years. Yeah, And so when
you have a.

Speaker 3 (27:17):
Baby, you're maternity leave, you're out for months, and that's
like really weird to like wrap your head around, you know,
And like I feel like it's something that a lot
of women in the industry don't necessarily share and like
talk about.

Speaker 4 (27:32):
As much because it is scary.

Speaker 3 (27:35):
You're constantly being told there's somebody at the door, you're
knocking at the door waiting to take your place, you know,
somebody younger, and this and that, and.

Speaker 4 (27:44):
Like it's all it's such a it's such a mindful.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
Yeah, I mean it is. I was glad that they
touched on it.

Speaker 3 (27:52):
Yeah, And I can't imagine Alex probably feels that time's
am bazillian, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
She said that Georgia O. Malley was her hardest death, yes,
which is a lot of people sentiment. I don't necessarily agree.
It was the most like it was the first one
that felt like, oh my gosh, one of our people
is gone.

Speaker 4 (28:16):
I mean I took Denny's a little bit harder, but
that is.

Speaker 3 (28:19):
What it is.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
Then he was like in like four episodes, so I
wasn't as touched as we know. And then she said
that Sandra O was like her biggest heart, like the
hardest episodes to film like that when she left, and
I really she thought that she was like I didn't
know that the show would go on without her, which
I thought was really interesting because no, there's been how

(28:43):
many seasons since then, like fifteen or ten? Like ten
seasons since her.

Speaker 4 (28:49):
Yeah, it's so crazy.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
I loved the interview. I thought it was amazing.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
I do think it is interesting though, the things that
she said about like uh, pick me, choose me, love me,
and how she didn't want to say that line I know,
and then it ended up being like one of the
most iconic lines in Gray's anatomy history.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
It's amazing because her mindset was why would she beg
for him? And I thought that was an interesting way.

Speaker 3 (29:16):
Which I get and I totally understand like the idea
behind it, but also like everybody has felt that way,
do you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (29:25):
Like, Yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
Don't care who you are. I don't care how much
you want to sit here and say I would never
beg for a man. Like we've all been there. We've
all done that at some point, do you know what
I mean? So it's like so relatable.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
It was so relatable, And also I think people forget
that at that time there wasn't this women empowerment movement
where it was like, don't beg for men like we are.
We have advanced so much, even though like that's still
a sentiment in something that people go through, like please
just love me, Like what can I do for you
to pick me and love me? But even back then

(29:57):
there wasn't really that much like it. I felt so
normalized to hear a woman be like, please choose me. Yeah,
Like I don't think I ever thought anything of it,
but now I think if I saw it, I'd be like, girl,
like come on.

Speaker 3 (30:12):
No, but like, but you would say that, but like
you've all I'm sure, well, I don't know if you've
done that ever.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
I mean I would think it like please choose me,
but I don't know that I would be able.

Speaker 4 (30:21):
To right say that exactly.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
But you felt it, Yeah, I think everyone has felt that.

Speaker 4 (30:26):
I felt at times. Let us count the ways we.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
Don't have to rehash because you're married, well, no, I
picked chosen.

Speaker 4 (30:37):
And chosen and chosen every single day.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
It's stunning.

Speaker 4 (30:42):
It really is. Thirty seven years and we got here.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
There's this Australian podcast in the host was asking if
you come from a guest family or an ask family.
So in a guest family you don't really directly ask
for anything ever, but instead just sneak in them and
of what you need and then in an ask family,
you ask what you need and leave it to the
other person to say yes or no. So I come
from a guest family, Like there was no direct communication.

(31:10):
It was kind of like let me see where the
line is, like no or just even maybe my personality.
I felt like it was like maybe they can just
guess what I need, almost like passive aggressive I guess,
h what would you what would you say?

Speaker 4 (31:30):
I don't understand the question.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
Did you come from a family where you could be
direct and say what you needed and you either got
a yes or no? And it was like very.

Speaker 4 (31:39):
Clear, like I need a cracker, or like I need
a hug, Like I need a hug, or I think
I asked or did.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
You come from a family where you were like acting.

Speaker 4 (31:48):
I'm really sad, but I want you to hug me, right.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
But like not say I'm not say I'm really sad,
I want you to hug me. Like that's a direct communication.
I'm saying that you act out and you're being like
moody and offensive and instead of just being like I
just need a hug, you do all the things trying
to get them to guess what you need.

Speaker 3 (32:07):
So I don't really know the answer to that if
I'm being honest. But the way that I act now,
I feel like I'll do things that are like passive
aggressive sometimes to Robbie.

Speaker 4 (32:17):
And I'm like, why did I just say it?

Speaker 3 (32:20):
Yeah, Like why did I just like ask him or
tell him exactly what I wanted. I'm better about it now, right,
but like I would be very passive aggressive in the
early days, and I'm like, why did I do that?

Speaker 2 (32:29):
I still do that, but I also have been working
on it because Haley is actually very direct, so she'll
be like, this is what I'm feeling, this is what
I need to hear. Can you hug me? So I'm
just like, check, what else do you need? And then me,
I'm like, I'll act out, and then I think, what
am I trying to get her to do? I'm just

(32:50):
gonna try to communicate it so that I can just
get what I need and we can move on. Yes,
because it's exhausting. Is exhausting, exhausting, and I'm so glad.
I feel grateful that she isn't a guest person because.

Speaker 4 (33:04):
It's what exhausts me. Yeah, so I have.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
To be more intentional about not being a guest person,
because jeez, tough, tough. Okay, Tanya had some more behind
the scenes things which I really felt like we covered everything,
but you have more to share about the wedding.

Speaker 3 (33:20):
Well, it's like things that happened behind the scenes the
day that I didn't find out until like today.

Speaker 2 (33:25):

wait to hear. But first we're going to take a break.

Speaker 1 (35:05):
You met Michelle Lally in the hit Bravo show The Valley.
You met me literally during the most difficult chapter in
my life. Now it's time for you to meet the
real met Michelle Sennye. Yes, I change my name, and
I want you to follow me on my journey to
the pursuit of sassiness. So much has happened to me before, during,
and after the show. Before you can really understand the

(35:27):
eight weeks that you saw on TV, I think you
have to know what was going on from the very beginning,
from being raised by two immigrant parents, paying my own
way through college and working at Hooters, to starting my
own real estate empire, getting married, having a baby during COVID,
to that very same marriage, falling apart on national TV,
to losing my mom, to eventually finding love again. There

(35:50):
is so much to unpack and share. I'm on the
pursuit of happiness and most importantly, I'm on the pursuit
of sassiness. Listen to Pursuit of Sassiness starting on March
seventeenth on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you
get your podcasts.

Speaker 2 (36:09):
Okay, we're back. So what happened that you didn't know about?

Speaker 4 (36:13):
So we're paying the bills.

Speaker 3 (36:17):
It was like so fun to do after a wedding,
but we've just kind of been like paying everything. We
have like one more like final bill to pay and
then that's it. But like Robbi and I were like,
let's go through all of our contracts with all the
vendors and make sure that they like delivered and like
what we put in our contract is what we got
type of stuff. And my wedding planner was like telling

(36:40):
us all these stories that happened the day of that,
Like we had no idea, like there was one thing
that we were up like that we were very uh
specific about on the at the reception we really wanted.

Speaker 4 (36:55):
I did not want a buffet, and I.

Speaker 3 (36:58):
Was assured that we would not have a buff that
it would be like live grilling, like live grilling.

Speaker 4 (37:02):
The fish and live grilling the thing.

Speaker 3 (37:04):
And when I showed up, it was like a buffet
that was literally the only thing that I noticed and
clogged at all. Everything else, in my opinion, like could
not have been. It was amazing. But it's so funny
because my wedding planner was like ted telling us all
this stuff, and I was like, oh my gosh, I
had no idea. So like apparently the flowers that came
for the welcome party were like completely different than what

(37:26):
we'd wanted. We asked for like eighteen bud vases, and
they only brought like eight or something we asked for,
like an arrangement, a different arrangement of candles, like all
these like little things that like obviously, even now like
looking back, I'm like, oh, yeah, I did think that
looked a little different than what we had discussed, you

(37:46):
know what I mean. And then apparently like my bouquet
came with like all this greenery in it, and she
made them remake it.

Speaker 4 (37:54):
And all this stuff. She didn't tell me, like I
literally had no idea the day up until now. There
was something else.

Speaker 3 (38:00):
She was saying that, like the the light, there was
a different vendor that was in charge of like the
music and the lighting and everything, and she said that
he was like amazing and on top of it, and.

Speaker 4 (38:12):
What else.

Speaker 3 (38:17):
She had to remind them, like, you know how like
when you walk down the aisle and we had like
the hoopah the arc and I don't know if you
even know, I don't even know if anybody would notice,
but I noticed it. There was all these beach chairs
and like umbrellas that were on the beach are for
the guests, but they completely cleaned the beach of all
that stuff. So it was literally just like clean beach
behind us. And I would have totally forgot to remind

(38:40):
them to do that. And Marjorie, my wedding planner, was like,
I had to remind them to like, you know, move
all that stuff.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
WHOA, Yeah, that's so crazy you say that, because I
remember when we were walking down the stairs on the aisle,
I was like, oh my gosh, it was just like
the beat. I could see the beach.

Speaker 4 (38:56):
Yeah, it was just like straight beach.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 3 (38:58):
But if you looked the day before, there was probably
like one hundred lounge chairs and umbrellas. But they moved
everything out for the for the ceremony. Wow, which probably
takes a long time.

Speaker 2 (39:08):
It's probably not easy.

Speaker 4 (39:09):
No, no, easy feet. They turned it out for us.

Speaker 2 (39:12):
They really did it. Yeah, I mean that's all that
the that's pretty amazing that your list, like the few
the minor things that went.

Speaker 3 (39:20):
Oh yeah, oh my gosh, and the things that like
we like crossed our fingers and were like, hope this
works out. Worked out amazing, Like the band, the DJ
could not.

Speaker 4 (39:32):
Have been more phenomenal or amazing.

Speaker 3 (39:34):
The late night snacks they had at Laita, like the
chicken tenders and the friess like amazing. My only regret
is that the dessert. When we tried the dessert, it
was like orgasmic, Like I was like, I don't even
care to have a cake because these desserts are.

Speaker 4 (39:53):
Like life changing.

Speaker 3 (39:54):
Yeah, and they came out at nine o'clock and I
don't think anybody knew they came out, and everybody's on
the dance floor. Yeah, and I wish I would have
like put them on a tray and like brought them
to people because a lot of people didn't try it.

Speaker 4 (40:06):
And I've I've been talking about these desserts for like
a month. You did, yeah, and a lot of people
didn't get to try them.

Speaker 2 (40:12):
When you're raging, there's no time to eat dessert.

Speaker 3 (40:14):
I know, I know when you're having like the time
of your life. I literally could probably watch videos from
my wedding every day until I don't even know when
it's gonna get old.

Speaker 2 (40:23):
It's amazing because normally, like when there's a lot of
content from one thing, like I feel like people are
like okay, like that's gooving on, but everyone's loving it.
They're like more and more and more. They wanted us
to do more episodes about the wedding. I'm like, I
don't know what else to say.

Speaker 4 (40:38):
I mean, I still have like I still have so
much to say.

Speaker 2 (40:41):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 4 (40:42):
I mean just with the planning and like stuff I
could have done, like stuff that I I I would.

Speaker 3 (40:47):
Tell myself before all of it, you know what I mean,
Like obviously it all worked out and I'm so happy
and I'd have no regrets, but like, yeah, there's like
I mean, there's just like so much that I learned.

Speaker 4 (40:57):
I mean, I'm gonna be so good.

Speaker 3 (40:58):
For you when you're time comes, because I'm just gonna
be like a wealth of knowledge, like you could literally
I'm like chat shept.

Speaker 4 (41:05):
For your wedding planning. Wow, Yeah, you're welcome.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
You should compile a list and maybe we do do
like a bonus episode where we talk about those things
about like the process of planning and things you would
have done differently or whatever those are, because I do
think those things are helpful, and there's so many people
that are in the thick of going through that.

Speaker 3 (41:24):
But I do want to give a shout out to Lisa.
She works for the hotel that we got married at.

Speaker 4 (41:30):
We got married at Susos Susios del Kota so On,
which means Whispers of the Heart.

Speaker 2 (41:35):
And she.

Speaker 3 (41:38):
From the minute we were like wanting to tour the space,
I remember the girl, the woman who ended up meeting
us to give us this tour a rally, who was
like our.

Speaker 4 (41:49):
Hand boots on the ground girl.

Speaker 3 (41:51):
She was like, uh, my coworker loves your podcast.

Speaker 4 (41:55):
She's a scrubber, she's obsessed.

Speaker 3 (41:57):
Lahlah, and uh, I felt like every time I came there,
they had like butterflies in the room and they just
like really were just so sweet, and she sent me
a really sweet email the morning of the wedding, and yeah,
it was just like kind of cool that, like the
venue we ended up choosing, and we didn't choose it
because obviously because of scrubber, but it's like the fact
that we chose it and that a scrubber was like

(42:19):
involved in all of it, and that there's like so
many butterflies on the property, it just all felt very serendipitous.

Speaker 2 (42:26):
So serendipitous. Also, shout out to Lisa because she helped
with the bachelourette location as well.

Speaker 4 (42:32):
Shout out Lisa.

Speaker 2 (42:32):
Lisa's everything to us. Also, I just realized that, so
I posted the link to my dress. The name of
the color of my dress was Champagne butterfly. No, how crazy.
I didn't even know. People were texting me like, I don't.

Speaker 4 (42:47):
Know, butterflies were on your dress when you bought it?
Is absurd. You sent me the.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
Picture and I said no, and that picture but on
the website you can't see it.

Speaker 3 (42:56):
When you sent me the pictures of the two options,
I was like, there's butterflies in this dress.

Speaker 4 (42:59):
This is absolutely the one you have to wear.

Speaker 2 (43:01):
But the name was Champagne Butterfly. Are you joking? And
I was. I was searching champagne dresses and it just
it never popped up.

Speaker 4 (43:10):
I mean, it was meant to be.

Speaker 2 (43:11):
It was meant to be.

Speaker 3 (43:12):
And everybody was like, I took posted a selfie with
Paulina and you could see like because I bought I
bought all my bridesmaids butterfly rings and they were like,
she wore butterfly earrings. I was like, well, I kind
of bought them for them, but yes, very significant.

Speaker 4 (43:26):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (43:29):
All right. Well, we have a guest coming on.

Speaker 4 (43:32):
Thursday, Yes we do.

Speaker 2 (43:33):
We have Heather ray El Musa coming in. I'm so
excited to talk to her. So don't worry, don't be sad.

Speaker 4 (43:41):
Be glad.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
We will be back. We love you so much.
