I don't care what anybody says, it doesn't matter what time of year it is, I never get tired of online shopping, especially during the holidays. Here's the thing, it's kind of gross out. Even those of us that embrace the chilly weather need something to break up long winter nights. Something I love to do is treat myself to a little something, but I don't want to spend a fortune on my winter blues. That's where Quince comes in.

I'm absolutely obsessed with my Quince luggages. I took them on tour. I brought them home and they're still like brand new. I'm pretty much obsessed with this brand, but there is something else that everyone needs in their closet. In my opinion, Quince's iconic Mongolian cashmere sweaters, which start,

at $50. Or if you want to really up the lux factor, check out their Italian leather handbags, washable silk skirts, and European linen sheet sets. Whatever you're looking for, all Quince items are priced 50 to 80% less than similar brands. Quince only works with factories that use safe, ethical, and responsible manufacturing practices. Treat yourself this winter without the luxury price tag. Go to quince.com slash B-U-N-N-I-E for 365 day returns.

Is this thing on? People in the comments of the Christmas song are like, this doesn't even sound like you. This sounds like something Beyonce would do. Oh, what a compliment. That's a bit of a... They're like, you've totally switched. And the OGs are like, this sounds like every Christmas song she's ever done. You have such that new wave that people don't know what to take. Because there are people who are in the comments like...

Is she trying to be a singer now? You're like, no, we just make dirty Christmas. You tried to describe. Oh, you were trying to describe your dirty Christmas song to Dolly. What did I say? You said, oh my God, how'd you say? It was like you were trying not to call it a dirty Christmas song. So you were using every word. What did you say? Campy. Yes, campy. You said something and...

I can't remember what you said. We gotta talk about this on the podcast. We're just wasting all this great material because we're not getting started. Ready? Oh, we're ready. Okay. Oh, hello. Hi. Did you find the video? All right, let's go. Let's here's pork chop. The heavily seasoned pork chop. Stop. Stop it. He did so good.

It won't go. It's okay. It's even better with no music. Yeah, I love it. I love it too. It's like the squeaky shoes. Yes. Oh my gosh. They don't put that to the squeaky shoes. Stop. And not know you can do this. I'm so proud of him. I know me too. I told you my butthole was puckered at first. I was like, oh God. Oh God, Cody. Don't mess this up, Cody. And he did good. No, I'm so proud of him.

But yeah, that was Cody doing the C walk, baby. Very good. Speaking of weight loss though. Yes. I have been using this tool right here and I'm not selling these. You guys, they do sponsor my podcast and we're just going to talk about it real briefly, but this has also been a game changer in my weight loss. It's this lumen. It's this handheld fucking lumen that I breathe into about 10 times a day from the minute I wake up before I eat, after I eat, before I work out, after I work out, before I go to sleep.

I literally, she uses it religiously, religiously. Oh, what happened when you didn't have it? Oh, I freaked out. I felt it's like you get attached to this little thing, you know, but what it is is it reads the CO2 levels in your breath and

And it tells you your macros for the day and you can do keto, which is what I'm doing. A form of keto. I'm not going like extreme keto. I'm doing about 80 carbs a day. Um, but you can do keto with like, um, performance enhancement. So you'll get like, you know, a certain percentage of protein. You can do weight loss. You can do maintenance. Like there's so many different things.

And when they started sponsoring the podcast, I was like, I got really curious because I was doing the ads for them. And you guys know that I don't like to promote something that I don't do. And I am not getting paid for talking about this right now. I just want you guys to know that. But I'm so fucking floored by this little creature that I just want to share it with you guys. And so after I had done the first ad with them, I ordered some or they sent us some. Yeah, they had sent you some. And I started using it and I...

I'm almost two months in on this thing. I'm obsessed with it. Obsessed. No, everybody. They sent you a time. Yeah. It's I love it. And your macro switch every day or they stay consistent depending on what you're trying to accomplish is I'm eating 1900 to 2000 calories a day. And I'm,

slimming down like losing inflammation my blood sugar I used to wake up in the morning feeling so sick and had to eat immediately that is not the case anymore like this thing is really like

working wonders. And they have like a support group. I joined the support group on Facebook. I swear. I swear. And it's so fascinating just learning about all of this and like watching how your body works and just seeing like the results and stuff like that. So, I mean, if you guys want to hop on this bandwagon, it's, it's living. I comparing our scores now. We're always comparing our scores. Yeah. Like I aim to blow a one or two in the morning. If I blow a five, I'm fine with it, but I don't,

know that I need, I have some work to do or something's going on in my body. That's hormonal. Like, I don't know. This thing's just really cool. And I wanted to share that with you guys. I, I, we do have a promo code, I think if you guys want to use it for, to get a percentage off, which is, do you know what it is? Pretty sure it's, um, we'll give you guys the promo code, but again, this is not a paid advertisement. I promise you, I would tell you if it was, I genuinely live with this thing in my hand every day.

I walk around with it. Just go to lumen.me backslash bunny, B-U-N-N-I-E, and you'll get 15% off. Yeah, you'll get 15% off. And I'm telling you, this thing is so fucking worth it. It's a game changer, especially for health freaks like me. Let's talk about how you freaked out when it went missing. Bro, my husband thought it was a vape and stuck it in his backpack. I thought...

And it disappeared. And he said when he came home, I had him look through his backpack and he's like, it's not there. So I have another one somewhere around the house. Oh, it really is just missing. It's just missing. I don't know where it went. I might have accidentally thrown it away. I have no idea. Counter Nazi. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I don't know. But yeah, I, I, for two days I was literally just like depressed. Yeah. It's like my little, my little C3PO, my little R2D2. I just love this. It's the bunny vape. I swear. But you just literally just, you breathe in for 10 seconds, you hold it. No, I'm sorry. Yeah. You breathe in for 10 seconds, hold it for 10 seconds, breathe out and it reads your breath and it tells you. And it's cool because it's like on that scale. Yeah.

I'll know before I go weigh whether I lost weight that day by what number I blow. It's crazy. If I'm at a three or four, I don't really do fours and fives very often, but if I'm in that three to four range, I won't have lost anything. If I'm in the one to two range, I've lost a pound. Yeah. It's crazy. I know. Like I'll know it before I step on that scale. I can feel when my body's in fat burn. Really? I'll know I'm in fat burn before I blow. Like right now, if I were to blow, I bet you I'm in fat burn because I can feel it. Give me more blow. Give it a blow? Yeah. All right, all right.

Today, I got my kid here. Me or her? Oh, I know. Which one? Who's who? Which one? I got a million views on that video. Viral. Crazy. But what's crazy to me is that, first of all, Bailey, welcome. Hi. Howdy. Sorry. Jumped right in. What's crazy to me is that people cannot tell you, Haley, and Mimi apart. It's the craziest thing ever, right? It's so weird to me.

First of all, Mimi is a 30 year old woman with fucking bright orange hair and black hair and tattoos everywhere. You don't have one fucking tattoo on you. You are 16. You know what I'm saying? Her comment was they said she's the blank. Yeah. And I was like, that's so real. For real. For real. You know who looks like you and Gracie look like twins. Yeah. You and Gracie. Now you both have black hair. Gracie Taja. Yeah. Yes, dude. That was crazy. Right. Crazy.

I was like, Oh my God. Yeah. You guys are like doppelgangers. There's a couple of times I saw Gracie at the wedding yesterday and I was like, like even daddy was like, dude, her and Bailey looks so much alike. Like it was wild. Um, but then yeah, the Haley, like Haley is just has curly, curly fucking hair. Does not you guys, none of you guys look like curly hair, brown curly hair. None of you guys look alike. It's kind of like when people are just like compare me to other blondes.

It's like, oh, you look like Bunny XO. And it's like, we don't even look alike at all. And it's like, everyone who's plus size, Jason's like, literally, he looks like him. Literally. My bad. But yeah, anytime like there's a plus size dude, they're like, you look like this guy. He's like, what? Because we're both fat. Like, hello? Bailey, do you get an allowance? I do not. Because I, so that, so yes, I do not get an allowance.

Period. That's the answer to that question. Period. The context before she fixes her face is I don't really, well, A, I was working, so there was no point in an allowance, but B, it's like a do something, get something type routine. And I do the bare minimum.

If that. Thank you. Okay. Because we've had. Listen, I've tried to work out an allowance with you. Yes, that's true. But the answer to that question is no, I don't. And it's via choice. Okay, perfect. I love that. Good answer, child. I love the accountability. I don't have time to do all of that. Okay. I've got my own stuff going on. Listen, this kid does not like doing. I am in five college classes as a junior in high school. I'm a little busy. Yeah.

I don't have time. But you know what I do love is that you will clean up the kitchen without being asked out. And it took years. Yeah. I don't want to do it. I mean, it's not a big deal, but it's just. Yeah. Like what does your room look like right now? As long as a big deal is not made out of it. What does your room look like right now? That's not a good. That's not a Q&A question. I'm sorry. I mean, I want to know. It was on the list. Inquiring minds want to know. How does your room look? No comment. She said, uh.

The top seven foods out there that affect most people, the top seven foods that that whole chapter is written on in there, gluten, dairy, soy, corn, sugar, eggs, and peanuts. Those are the top seven inflammatory foods in the country. They always have been. That's not going to change anytime soon. Who knew rice for you, right? Avocados for me. My body doesn't like avocados. That's crazy. Does not like avocados and does not like cashews. And cashews are my favorite food.

Oh, I love cashews. And anything that's dairy-free, because I can't. Dairy, eggs, gluten, cashews, avocados. Those are the five big ones for me. Yeah. I don't do dairy. Cashews, last time I ate cashews, I fucking felt like I swallowed glass and had to take Benadryl. I've eaten cashews my whole life.

And I ate them one day and that was it. Game over. Couldn't eat them again. My heart rate was racing. Yeah, my body hates cashews. And it is a highly inflammatory nut. Yeah. A lot of people are allergic to cashews. They certainly are. And so peanuts aren't so bad. It's the mold in the peanuts that's the problem, right? It's the aflatoxin. You didn't know that there's mold? No.

No. So the mold in peanuts. Because Mimi eats peanut butter all the time. Mimi, I need you to read that. Which could also contribute to your Hashimoto's because it's an inflammatory. Yes. So polluted peanuts. I have a whole section in here on peanuts. And it's so good. Peanuts are so good. I love peanut butter. I could eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich right now sitting here with you. Love it. I don't have a peanut sensitivity at all. So I can eat organic peanuts.

that are not loaded with mold. And so I talk all about it in here. You know, they grow in the ground and stuff. Yeah. And so it's the same with corn. Corn is the mold problem as well, the aphrodisiac, right? But Trader Joe's has organic, as does Costco, organic peanut butter that's Valencia. That's the only peanut butter. Valencia peanut butter. Valencia peanuts have less mold in them. Oh.

Okay, I'm going to go check. I have organic peanut butter at home. I keep it in the fridge. See if it's Valencia. Does it have sugar in it, though? I don't think so because Jason eats it and he doesn't eat sugar. So it probably shouldn't then. I don't know. You've got to be careful because there are some organics that have sugar in it. You have to make sure it says sugar-free on it.

Oh, my. I know. Just peanuts. You just need peanuts in it. Yep. And maybe some salt. I taught her that, the least ingredients. Yeah. Oh, I taught Olivia that recently. She is obsessed with reading ingredients now. When you read those ingredients, you know, if it's got more than two ingredients in it, that's fake food. Yeah. And people don't realize it. I mean, they...

I just so want to go up to people at the grocery that are down the frozen food aisle. Right. Yeah. And you look at the back of those meals and literally the ingredient is that long. Yeah. You know, and, and I rat on Chick-fil-A all the time, but I mean, I love it. I mean, I think it's great. I mean, it's fine. I think there's 51 ingredients in one Chick-fil-A sandwich.

This is your time to shine, baby. 2025. It's a new year. That's fucking right. You're going into 2025. You've got your music that you've been dropping, which, by the way, is not bad. It's not bad. It's not bad at all. I was the first time I heard her face.

She said that about me, so you know that's good. No, no, no. You don't suck. I said all things. No, like when I first heard it, I was like, I was really impressed and I was so proud of you. It was like bitch on line because I sent it to Mimi and Haley first. I was like, you want to hear something with a little emoji? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, no, it's so good. And I'm so proud of you for doing it because you have promoted everybody else's music for years and it's time that you invest in yourself. Yeah, I'm excited about this new chapter. And I think with all this heartbreak that I've been going through and life experiences, I've been working with other writers and everything and just channel in like putting it through music because music is such a big part of me, like promoting it wise and all that. And I was like, well, instead of,

fucking going online and making like a fucking fuck you video let's make a fuck you song about it you know yeah or even a heartbreak song heartbreak songs are always needed I love a heartbreak song you know how many motherfuckers we need a we need a song that we can sit in our car and cry to you know you just

stay tuned girl you just stay fucking tuned but no I'm excited I'm just you've dropped what like three songs now yeah four four what are the names of them so people know if you were a country girl bitch on one is my favorite yeah I made um the DJ earlier at brunch play that for me yeah I was like play my song um who's who has to be my absolutely favorite song I actually like that one that one's really cute yeah who's who um

and then Rough Cut Diamond which Rough Cut Diamond is speaking a lot to me right now because these flaws are making me flawless I'm a Rough Cut Diamond yeah I wasn't mine for you and it's a shame because I'm a badass fucking person yeah and you're just working on yourself baby and you're getting better who's writing these songs are you writing oh my god I've had

like the pleasure, blah, blah, pleasure for Who's Who, Kelsey Ballerini absolutely wrote that. Yeah. And she commented on one of my videos saying, I always fucking love this song. Yeah. And she said, it was like meant for me. Yeah. And I was like, really? Because when I sing it, I feel like it was meant for me. Yeah. So it's just been

like amazing artists like Hardy, Maren Morris, Kelsey Ballerini. Yeah. But I'm taking a dive into writing my own music. Good. We just wrapped my Christmas song. We did an original Christmas song. Oh yeah, girl. Oh God, it's so good. I got to write with Jesse Joe Dillon and

and Alicia Vanderheim, who are all Kelsey Ballerini's writers, and Nicolette. I do not know Nicolette's fucking last name, but her name's Pillbox Patty. You guys go listen to her music. She's fucking amazing. But we literally started the song with just a harmony that Nicolette came up with, and then Alicia put the guitars and the beat to it. So it's like an over...

wild. It's, it's crazy to watch a song come to life like that. I love it. And I think beautiful process. And I think it's just like a new passion of mine. Like when I stepped into that booth and to record my first song, I was like, Oh my God, no wonder I have friends who do this for a living. This is so much fucking fun. What got you to that point though? Like, I know you always like saying on lives and things like that, but like, how did you get to the point of the booth?

So what I obviously I was a music promoter and I'm still a music promoter. Somebody reached out to me and they were like, Demps, we have these songs and we want you to sing them. Like Jimmy Robbins, who's an amazing writer, like number one hits. And he had these songs that he co-wrote with Kelsey, Mary Morris, Hardy and all that.

And they thought it would just be fun to do a project, just like a simple project. I didn't think it was going to do anything or anything. And here I am getting booked shows. Y'all buy tickets for my show. Let's go. November 15th. Oh, we'll be home.

We could probably go to it. Oh, girl, you got to dress incognito and come out there. Put on a wig. Oh, shit. Just bring me on stage. I'll show my titties. I'll only do that for you. Oh, my God. Stop. We'll talk after this. Oh, my God. My little heart. Yeah. It will come. I mean, I don't see why not. Are we filming with CBS that day? 15th and 16th? Or is it 17th and 18th? 15th is your hair. 15th is my hair. Okay. We'll figure it out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.

Yeah. I'll have my people call your people. Okay. Good, good, good. No, no, no. Where's it at? Cahoots in Lebanon. Okay, okay. Yeah, girl. We're fucking just... I'm super excited. I'll bring security. So that's how it all came about. And then I can honestly say the first time hearing myself come out the speakers and seeing my daughter's eyes light up...

I was just like, yeah, girl, you can do anything you set your mind to. Yeah. Who cares what anybody else says or all these back noises? If you want to do something, go to do it. Yeah. Go do it. Absolutely. But I will say my first show that I did, Bunny, I want to tell you,

I didn't think you could throw up from nerves, girl. I was in the bathroom. I went through the fuck up. But when I got on that stage, it felt like I was just doing it for years. So I'm enjoying life right now. And I think I'm going to take, you know, what you said and just enjoy myself. Life's putting out music. Dude, life's so good right now. Yeah, date music. Yeah, date music.

But you already have a family. You have you and Lily. And if you just pour your love into both of you and stop looking, I promise you that love is going to fall out of the sky. My three cats and my dog. Literally. Yeah, Coleslaw. Fucking what's the other one's name? We have Coleslaw, Sauerkraut, and Zeus. I don't know.

if I've ever even seen Zeus, but yeah. He's an old man. He isn't lying to me. Gotcha, gotcha. I feel like Coleslaw's like the star of the show. He is. He's your Chachi. He really is. One of these days I'm going to bring him over here. Oh God. I don't know how Chachi will act towards a cat.

We're going to see how he's going to act with a possum tomorrow. He doesn't even like his cousin, so I don't know about a cat. Only one way to find out here. But like all that love and that pizzazz for life that you have, just harness that for all of 2025 and literally pour into you. Whether that's going and fucking getting a little bit of therapy or going and fucking, you know, feeding the homeless or going and just doing something that is like chicken soup for your soul, writing music, writing a heartbreak song,

doing a fucking rap song, whatever you want to fucking do, put all that energy into you because these men, man, I learned a big lesson with this one. Yeah. Oh my goodness. I would have, I would have gave that man like the moon. Yeah. And all I wanted was, um, to start this new journey and share it with someone. But I was like, well, I'm already sharing it with someone, my daughter, um,

Yeah. Who watches me. Absolutely. You know, so why am I trying so hard for something when it's already there with my daughter? And you can give the man the moon and he's still going to want the stars. You know what I'm talking about? Maybe,

That's right, baby. That's right. Ladies, write that down. I'm a Van Wilder of fucking quotes over here. Okay. I'm fucking Oscar, Oscar Wilde. Um, but no, it's for real. And until that real love comes along for you, baby, just focus on yourself. I think, um, 2025 people are going to see a different, I mean, we've seen Dempsey be the funny comedian, you know, go through, um,

Fuck with the internet, with my love life. That's like my favorite thing to do. I will admit it's my favorite thing to do. That is my favorite thing to watch. One thing you know how to do is play your crowd and they go into a fucking frenzy anytime you date somebody. I know, but I think. I'm so thankful I'm married. Like I just, there's no way I could deal with all the shit you have to deal with. Dating in this day and age sucks.

Oh, yeah. I see what Haley has to go through. Me and Mimi don't even date. Listen, I'm trying to force her to, you know, but it's rough. It's rough out there. We need a dating show for Dempsey and Haley. Oh, my God. That would be great. I'll do it. Let's do it. We can make one. We could do it. We could make anything come to life. Oh, my God. Get the buzzers. Yeah.

Not yet. That would be fucking awesome. Yeah, let's, we'll throw it around and see what we can do. How much are you packing down there? Yeah, they all have to wear banana hammocks and if they aren't, and if they get measured with a ruler, if they're not a certain size, they're off the show because we know you're a fucking, you're a size queen. She's a size queen. Yeah, a lot of people don't know this about Dems. She is a size queen. Like you love a good, stealthy, healthy wiener. I do. But,

But working with the Caswalk Show was amazing. Bill had taken me there early on.

before I got the job he's the one that got me as you as you mentioned got me on the Caswalk show and he'd take me to the to the fair the county fair where I could you know join in contests and different things like that and then eventually he would take me back and forth to Nashville yeah and so he just had he saw that I was so serious about it and he saw that I had potential and I just

And Bill was a great guitar player. Bill wrote great songs. We wrote great songs together. In fact, in 19, I guess it was 67, we won the Song of the Year, BMI Song of the Year, and put it off until tomorrow. Bill Phillips on Deck of Records, he was a pretty big artist at the time.

And so I got to, when I had, we had sent the demo to him from when we'd just written it, then they wanted me to sing on the demo. So that was kind of like my first kind of break of being heard like on the real radio.

DJs were calling, "Who's the girl singing with Bill Phillips on the Bill Phillips song?" So anyway, that was kind of a moment too. - That's awesome that Uncle Bill's been so pivotal in your career. That's amazing. At 10 years old, being on the Cass Walker show, who were some of your musical influences? Was there anybody that you wanted to be like or did you have an idea of like, "Hey, I'm gonna pave my own way." - Well, all of my people were very musical.

And so I think some of my greatest influences were within my own family. I had an aunt.

Dorothy Jo, one of my mom's sisters, well, she played the banjo, she played the guitar, and she wrote great songs. And she was an evangelist. She also was a Pentecostal preacher. I love that. Yeah, and I used to... Oh, I was just totally influenced, you know, by her. But as far as some of the others, there were the Kitty... You know, there was Kitty Wells on the Grand Ole Opry and Roy Acuff, and there was some...

Early on, after I got out to where we really had a little bit more exposure to big radio and all, there was a woman named Rose Maddox. It was the Maddox brothers and Rose. She worked with her brothers, and that was the first time I'd ever seen people dress in the rhinestones. They wore kind of Western, kind of like how the Grand Ole Opry does, but they were the first ones I'd ever seen do that.

And so, and they also put a show together, a little, they did little bits, a little comedy and little things. And I thought that was amazing. So you, you find that now that I'm older, I look back and I find that I have just picked up bits and pieces from so many people through the years. And I've learned so much that I didn't realize I'm like a sponge. Yeah. You know, I just, without even knowing that I'm doing it. And then later on, I'll do something. I'll think, oh,

that reminds me so much of when I saw so-and-so. Or, you know, you just learn. You just learn through watching. I always say we're like a masterpiece of all the art we pick up from each person. You know, it's just like little gems of their souls that we take with us and that, you know, we look back on and we're like, okay, this influenced this and this influenced that. So I love that you always give credit where credit's due because I'm the same way. Like if anybody asks me what's your look, I'm like Dolly. I'm Dolly all day long, you know. Well, I wish.

She looked like you. Oh, stop it. You didn't need me for that. Oh, listen, we could trade outfits right now and I'd be happy. I love this outfit right here. Well, yeah, we love God, I guess. Do you believe in like many lives? Absolutely. I also believe in soul contracts and I believe that. Me too. Oh,

Tell me, what do you believe? Let me know. Okay, so I believe I did... Okay, this is kind of wacky. No, I love it. I don't know if people believe in this stuff. No, we do. I'm so into it. I'm very spiritual. I'm very connected to spirit. I meditate. I've got guides. I studied with... Sister. Yes. Where have you been? They're all over here laughing because this is me. Okay, amazing. Okay, good. Then I'm...

You found your coven. Okay, great. I did this one reading with a woman and she was, it was called like a rose reading. I'd never done anything like that. And she went through some past lives. And because I'm clairvoyant and clairsentient, I also don't talk about this a lot, but I don't care. I have nothing to hide. Me too.

And you are too? Yes. Okay, I believe that. And I feel like that's why we're supposed to be connected. It was over the phone because it was during COVID. It was right before COVID when things were starting to get crazy. And she was explaining a couple of my past lives. And I was locked in with her and I could see her face.

Um, like I could see everything that she was seeing and I'm everything lined up. And I asked her, I said, have I ever had a child in a past life? And she said, no. And, um, and so she said, you're going to have to make a soul contract with someone to bring like for this lifetime. And, um,

I mean, I've even had like, like psychics. One time I was pregnant before I had a miscarriage and he was like, have you ever had a miscarriage? And I was like, no, not that I know of. Like, boom, a week later I had like, I had a miscarriage and then the next pregnancy was missed. And, um, and so I think that I had to have a soul contract with,

either my baby I don't know how all of it works but I know that like my baby chose me and I know that he's like destined to be here but to do that like I'm so into healing and I'm all into like a lot of like spiritual stuff so I felt like it's true I saw something online that was like if you're ever feeling like called to a place like you need to go yeah because there's something that has to happen there what was he dming the football player I guess he wanted to tell him that like

So I'm dating this guy, talking to him, but he still was kind of coming at me. He got... This is the guy that I was at Carbone with. He found out who it was and starts DMing him, talking about he had stuff to tell him. What? Okay. You want to see it? It's funny. Yes, I would love to see it. If people don't see that he's the problem, then...

I just, after this podcast, if I see another blog about you being the problem here, I'm going to probably lose my mind. I mean, and like I said, I'll take accountability, babe. I'm not going to say I'm innocent because I'm not. I get it. It takes two to tango. It does take two to tango. But... And trust me, the sex...

Our sexual chemistry is so like bomb that it was hard for me to let go. But at the same time, you also have a trauma bond, too. So that makes everything. So, yeah, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. So look, this is. Hold on. Let me get the bifocals on.

He said, so this was after he had me hop the fence. He, he got wind. Okay. So he found out. So they just told him that I was there with a guy, but once he found out it was a football player and this football player, when I tell you is fine, does the day he's, he said, what up? Let me know when you see this, trying to send you some info. Just want to make sure you're the right person. So yeah, he basically,

Every time I'm ready to move on or I've moved on, like this man can't take it. So it's like, if I'm all of this, if I'm this crazy, let's just say it like that. Why haven't you been to court to get your kids away from me for one for two? Why haven't you gone to court? Because I'm keeping your kids from you. Like, why?

It's just an abusive relationship. There's just so much that I just wish people were smart enough to see. I think, and I will say this, a lot of celebrity women reached out to me, like big name women that were like, listen, what you did is nothing compared to what X, Y, and Z made me do. And it's like, you'd be surprised how many men, and I'm saying it's right, but men literally purposely

provoke women. And then when they lose their shit, it's like, she's crazy. She's this, she's this, that they never tell the whole story. It's reactive abuse. And that's part of controlling the narrative. If he can't control you, he wants to control what people think about you. And after this podcast, it's,

if people can't see what's going on here, especially now that you're distancing yourself from him and saying, Hey, you know what? No more. Yeah. Just let this dude crash. I would never let this man touch me again. I mean, he's going to crash out on his own. It,

I mean, he's crashing out already. So moving on from Safari though, and no matter what this man has done to you, you have literally just risen from the ashes like a fucking, the Phoenix that you are. You have done this your entire life. It seems like to be a theme for your life. Like no matter what fucking adversities life throws at you. Yeah. I don't know how. I really have like 10 lives. I would say nine, but I think. No, you always come back.

I have a couple of lives on me. I'm telling you, you always come back full force. And now you have a dating show coming out on Zeus. Tell me all about this. I'm super excited about that. I feel like this show, I mean, it's definitely Zeus. So it's crazy. It has its elements. But what I love about it is that Lemmy and LJ let me create a format where I still gave them Zeus.

But I wanted to tap in and show how fun and sexy and wild, you know, being a bisexual woman could be. What I love about it is I got to be myself, you know, in the sense of like once I'm like in my world, in my element, I...

sex is like my favorite conversation. I love to talk about that. I'm a Scorpio. So I love to talk about sex. Do you know what your moon sign is? I don't. Oh, Haley was asking me cause she said, you're going to ask me. I was like, Oh shit. How do I find that out? She's like, you gotta find out your moon sign. Cause she's gonna want to know. I'm like, fuck. Okay. Good to know. Um, but yeah, I love to talk about sex. I just feel like, you know, in a safe space, um,

like we all do it. Absolutely. Right. Yeah. So I've been an open bisexual for like years and, um, I love love and I haven't been lucky in it, but I know I'm deserving of it. And, um, one thing people don't know is how fun and crazy and, you know, wild I am. Well, wild. Yes. But like, I think we all know you're fun and crazy. But like, you

way where it's not love and hip hop drama. People know me drama crazy. Now it's like fun crazy, turn up crazy. Tap into how fun it is to be around me when I'm in a good, healthy environment. You lead with love in everything you do. If people can't see that, then it's like you said, they're just not wanting to see it. It's also about seeing people for people. The fight before that, I'd sit next to Don Jr. and his whole family, his wife,

daughter. I sat next to their whole family and what a sweet guy, you know, as a human, right? Like as a human being, like he was self deprecating. He was funny. He made light of himself. Like he was charming. He was just fun to sit next to. You know what I mean? It's like, the dude's a great guy. You know what I mean? Like,

The time I spent with him, what a great guy. So it's like you start meeting these people as humans, you know? Yeah. When I got to spend an hour talking to Bobby Kennedy and Tulsi and they were really telling me what their plans are and help addicts and what their plans are to kind of change the health care. I don't want to speak, but they got real plans on how to help

My people. America. Yeah, people that are really struggling. An epidemic that's happening in America. Moving on from that amazing story, because it is amazing, you're going on tour with Posty Maloney. First, you're going on tour in Canada, and then you're doing Post. Yes. Well, yeah. I can't believe that we're finally getting into Canada. We're going to do Canada in March. It's my first time headlining Canada. I mean, I did those three festivals last year. Mm-hmm.

this is our first headline and arena tour in Canada. And you don't want to fuck with someone who has a weekly podcast. Yeah. I'll come out and say whatever. I'm also a loose cannon. Let's talk about your podcast really quick. What is the name of your podcast? So people want to listen to it. Let's be honest. Um,

Yeah, it's, you know, wherever you get your podcast. Yeah. And it's a mix. You know, that's what I love is having creative freedom with, you know, Uncommon James and the podcast to talk about whatever I want to talk about. I mean, you get that. If one week I want to talk about, you know, fucking Scott Disick sliding into my DMs or interview a neurosurgeon. Yeah. You know, like I have that freedom, which is really great and keeps it exciting for me. I admire the fact that you can do podcasts by yourself.

Thanks. Do you never do them? No, I haven't mastered that. Oh, I feel like you would be so good at that. I feel like nobody wants to hear me talk that much. Oh, that is not true. You would be so good at it. I'd just be sitting here talking. I would probably be like, by the time I got done, they'd be like, does she have five personalities? Because she literally made herself laugh and she couldn't stop laughing and then she got pissed off. Like, what just happened? It is, but it's weird. It might be.

It might be bad for me. I remember when I started doing them, I was like, this is the most unnatural, awkward thing on the planet. I'm just talking to myself. Like, it's weird. But it's a muscle. You would be so good at it, Bonnie. I feel like you should try it. I don't know. Listen, if you guys see me talking to myself, it's because Kristen told me to do it.

So let's talk about the Montana boy. Okay. Okay. Because listen, I was fucking rooting for you, dude. You were so cute on TikTok. I was. Cause I was like, let this fucking woman live, bro. Thank you. I know. What was the age difference? 13 years. I mean, it's not terrible. I mean, you know, the thing is I will stand by this. I still think age is just a number. And, um, it was so interesting for me to see,

how up in arms people were because I was older and I'm the woman compared to how it is for men. But Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher got away with it and they were the cutest thing ever. And there's so many people talk about Jason Statham. I think he's like 20 something years older than Rosie. I mean, like there are so many relationships out there and people don't bat an eye. But when a girl does it, that really pissed me off. I was like, what the fuck? Also, it's not like, I don't know. I think

So, okay, actually, here's my real opinion on it. This is what I think. I don't think people give a shit that I was dating someone younger. I think it's that I can do whatever the fuck I want in my life. I'm out there doing what I want. And a lot of people can't do that. And that's what's triggering for people. Amen. Yeah. And so, yeah, it was fascinating for me to see that whole thing. To see the reaction. Yeah. Life is...

So I'm so grateful for breast cancer. And I went through it, got two surgeries. It was stage three. They told me, you know, I was always going to... And I don't believe any of that. I believe that I understood what gave me the cancer. And if I can make joy a priority in my life, if I can eat the things that bring me joy, make me feel good and...

do the things and make the choices for myself that I will be able to live a healthy, happy life. And it's been 20 years and I think I can brag about it now. Yes, ma'am. You can. You earned that right. You earned those stripes. I am a firm believer and I preach this on the podcast. I know they're so tired of hearing it, but what the mind feels, the body will follow. 100%. The body is in reaction to the mind. Like I said, meat soup. Total meat soup. And

I know instantly, I can tell it's like, oh, this hurts, that hurts. Oh, that's because, you know, you get things and it's, wow, I've been feeling very closed down. I've been, you know, of course my back's going to start hurting. I don't feel supported. You know, just all of that stuff. And it makes our bodies make sense. When you have the belief that, oh, something might happen to me, I might get cancer out of nowhere. I might get heart disease out of nowhere. Yeah.

That's not how it works. It's stress. What you fear you'll feed. Yes, thank you. You know it all. No, for sure. You're on that journey. Well, I had to. I got sober. And I saw the dark night and went on my spiritual journey. And I'm telling you, I just got misdiagnosed with an aneurysm last month.

And I told myself, like, I thought I was going to pass out when I got the news. It said it was on my carotid artery. And my mom actually had one and almost died. So I felt like I was going to pass out. Anyways, long story short, because this isn't about me, but it's just...

I didn't believe it. I was like, this is not... And if I do have it, I'm going to have surgery and it's going to be fine or whatever. I was getting a CAT scan. I heard the loudest voice in my head and it said, it's not an aneurysm. Went to two neurosurgeons. Turned out that I have two identical blood vessels on both sides of my carotid arteries. That's just my part of my DNA. So I was just like, praise Jesus. It's a miracle. But you have to literally just...

no matter what, I think our life lesson is to learn how to have faith. You cannot control everything and you have to just, sometimes you have to say, you know what, God, whatever your will's gonna be or whatever higher power you believe in, you know, it's just whatever your will is, let it happen. Kind of, it's hard not to say ritual because people just take it and run. A ritual is something that you do

over and over and over again. It doesn't have to be something satanic. - No, not at all. - It doesn't have to be magical. - That's what's so sad is that the-- - OCD people have rituals. I have rituals. - Right, right, but what's so sad is that magic is so real and it's such a, it's been erased from our entire history because it's so scary to know that we all have the power to create a product out of a dream and

Even if we're just speaking about moon phases, the beauty of tapping into that, when people struggle with fasting or something, if they would just tap into Ekadashi, which is an Indian practice of fasting, which is 11 days after the full moon or new moon, either one, the pull of the moon is a lot less. So the demand for your body to have food and water on that day is...

Is the least. I love that. That's fascinating because the moon makes women have their periods. It makes the tides. Yeah. So there's so much power in that. So much power in that. So it's, it's there, there's the least amount of pull from the moon on that day. So you're able to,

go that whole day without really feeling that urge if you work up to that point and you could just start there. It's a really, really special day if you're ever trying to get into that because it helps your body kill all the sicknesses. When you practice those things, your cells turn over and

It's a lot of magic in just that practice. There's a lot of magic in everything. And if you can just... I wish more people didn't demonize it as much as they do. And I just feel like... Not to get into religion because I don't really talk about religion that much on the podcast. But even Christianity has taken so many things from pagans. And there's just...

There's a whole world out there that if people just kind of explored it, they would see that it's not bad and it's not evil. It's not like what they portray in the movies and it's not like good, which bad, which of course there's bad people who do bad things with good things that they're given. But that doesn't mean that that's how it has to be. Yeah. But I, I guess I, I also enjoy that. It's a scary idea because it would then just become oversaturated and

- True. - I don't know, you need some people to be over on that side so that. - I always say we were the kids from the witches that were burned.

end of a tour, you're like, I don't want to see this bus again. No, we're clamoring to get back on tour. We can't wait to get back on the bus. You miss it, but you have to. It's good to miss it. And Vegas helped me do that. And it also just was so fun with like the production stuff because you could just take it to a whole nother level because you're not putting it in trucks every night, you know? So I'm really thankful for it. And I got to love your city. I mean,

the strip isn't Vegas. No, it's not. And that's all I knew of it from going to the ACMs for 18 years in a row. But I really learned to love like the outskirts. We stayed in the burbs and like, you know, I walked my dog every day and made eggs and like had a real life there. And, um,

And I love the desert. And just, I really, I really, I went to a Knights game. I loved it. It was my first hockey game to ever go to. It was really fun. So I just, I found like the things of Vegas that aren't like, you know. How beautiful are the sunsets? The sunsets are incredible. The weather in December is amazing. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. And the food scene's amazing, even off the strip. So like, I just really, I...

Grew to really love, like, the locals, too. Like, I made friends with a lot of people that I've seen there for work, but they, like, live there, so we'd go to their house for dinner, and it felt like, oh, this is just...

a really great community not that I don't love the strip but for two days and you're good you know yeah yeah no I had never whenever because we're selling our house out there now but whenever I would go out there people like do you live on the strip and I'm like absolutely not no one I will not go to the strip unless there is a reason like my husband has to be having a show or I'm going to see you or like I'm never going to step foot on that strip unless I have to yeah

The House That Built Me, by the way, when my dad passed away in May was the only song that got me through. I think I cried my eyes out for like a month straight with The House That Built Me playing in the background. That song is such a blessing. Like it's just one of those songs I'm so thankful to have. It is beautiful. Like if you listen to the words, just you literally paint a visual in this song and like you just walk people through just a moment in your life, a snapshot in your life. So I'm in time for me shot.

What? That I'm going to talk about this part. Okay. I love that she's just got your back. She's like, okay, here we go. This is really going to shock her. So I got my baby in my mind, you know, and before I leave for Iraq, I mean, I'm all over her. That's my daughter. And I got another one on the way. Okay. So it's all clicking to me. Like, okay, this is...

This is going to be the rest of my life. But I'm a part of 1-6th Infantry, 2nd Brigade, 1st Armored Division. We're in Iraq. Thank you for your service, by the way. Thank you. And my first encounter was with an 8-year-old Iraqi boy. And that is where the PTSD came from. It's right there. Because he's 8 on paper, but he's our age in reality.

And he's shooting. And I've got a decision to make and either accept that or, you know, take that life. And the latter is the decision that I had to make because it's at this point, it's between him and Michaela. And when those kinds of things happen,

they just happen in the war you it's it's a part of war you just keep rolling and i wasn't built like that you know i mean the most things i ever did in the streets was fight and i got yeah i got stabbed and and i i i made it you know but when you have to take a life it's it's it changes you so it changed me and then the rest of the fighting changed me and then realizing that um our freedoms do come at a high price

And then when you have a connection with God, you're like, God, like keep it 100 with me. How do you really feel about this? Because that's my brother over there. I know that we don't really act like it right now. And we've got a history of fighting with each other on earth. But the truth is we're all brothers and sisters. And so how do I justify my actions? And when his father and mother are doing the same thing I'm doing, you know, so.

I couldn't imagine. Yeah. So I had a lot to carry into 2010.
