Lisa Vanderpump
Are they ready for this? Probably not. I don't know if they're ready for this. I feel like this is, like, the matchup that everyone wanted but maybe didn't know they needed. So people are gonna freak out that you're here.

Okay, good. I've had Ariana on before during the scandal, and that's the only person, oh, I've had Stassi on. Oh, yes. We hit it off, but I was like, I was saving the best for last. Okay.

Alex Cooper
So I'm excited. How are you doing today? I'm good, but I've been frantically busy doing everything. I've been here, there. I've been in New York doing the upfronts, Gordon Ramsay's show, you know, foodstuffs, premieres today.

Lisa Vanderpump
I've been doing stuff for Vanderpump Villa reunion. I've been in Vegas. I've been in Lake Tahoe because I just opened my new restaurant there. I've been here, there, and everywhere. I'm exhausted just, like, thinking about that.

Alex Cooper
Do you ever have any downtime? I haven't had as much as I would like, for sure, and I think that's important to build it into your schedule. But with, you know, the shows and we have the dog foundation, we just had world dog day. I have a lot of responsibilities, so I take that really seriously.

Imagine a generation of girls who grow up never knowing what it's like to have the freedom to make their own healthcare decisions. Thats the reality Donald Trump wants.

Alex Cooper
He would let states monitor pregnant women. Imagine a generation of girls with no rights, no access to reproductive health or birth control. Now imagine a generation of women and girls safe because their rights are secured. Thats the future Joe Biden is fighting for. Paid for by Biden for president.

Im thinking about your house, Villa Rosa. Yes. Its a sanctuary. It is the most insane, extravagant place. Like, when I see it on the shows, to people that haven't seen it, there are ponies, there are swans.

Like, it is over the top and amazing and everything you could dream of for a house. If you do have alone time in your house, what are you doing by yourself? Well, I love cooking. Okay. So I've made sure my kitchen is absolutely heavenly.

Lisa Vanderpump
Do you remember when I threw Kyle out the house and I kind of put the sledgehammer on there? Fuck it. We're done. This is time for a new era song, Kyle. So I kind of made a kitchen that really, you know, I have the view, the doors open up nicely, there's a fireplace when it's cold.

I just really. So I'm very homey in terms of. I love doing flowers. I mean, I'm obsessively always kind of, you know, doing flower arranging. There's something about my home that I feels the essence of who I am, and it will always be.

I mean, my children grew up saying, you know, they never heard an argument in our house. Really? Yeah. I mean, I might, like, punch the shit out of him behind the doors, but I just always believed in having that very kind of calming, you know, I mean, I was a little crazy. And if we weren't dancing on the tables and things like that, music plays all the time.

And I just really just believe that calm in my life gives me the strength to deal with everything on the outside. Right. It's like when you go home, you're in your sanctuary, and then you leave and you deal with all the chaos. And I would encourage people, no matter how hard you work, no matter if it's like one room, a beautiful place, you know, create a space where you really feel. I think people are so fascinated by you because you have this lavish life, but you do work so hard.

Alex Cooper
Like you said, you're not sitting at home. Yes. Would you consider yourself high maintenance or low maintenance? Well, I mean, you see, I arrive with nobody today except my dog. I know.

Lisa Vanderpump
I don't have an assistant yet. I should have one. You don't have an assistant yet? I do my own nails I have my hair done every six weeks. I do my own makeup pretty much, but I travel with somebody if we have to look through the camera.

So now I'm very low maintenance, but when it comes to do I need fresh flowers and music and the good wine, and I like cooking good food that I have high standards. So you're high standards on the vibe, but for yourself. I can't believe, like, I was expecting. Oh, God, no. I don't know if I was expecting a big posse with you.

Alex Cooper
I at least thought you would have, like, maybe three people. Lisa, I've had musicians come in here with 20 people. You know, me and you. I have one dog that travels. Let's talk about Bravo.

Lisa Vanderpump
Yes. Okay. Because obviously, you're such an iconic part of Bravo, and with Bravo comes drama. Yes. When all of this was starting in your life, when you got on housewives, like, did you have any hesitations of doing reality tv?

Yes, I did, because, in fact, I'm having dinner tomorrow night with my friend Sharon Osborne. And so I remember, really, the essence of reality television was the Osbournes, you know, prior to that. And that seemed such a crazy, hot mess. I would think, oh, my God. As I said, I lived in a kind of sanctuary.

Even though we worked hard, we lived in a really beautiful house, and I had a restaurant, Villa Blanca. And I was approached a couple of times, and I thought, mmm, we don't really fight. I see the funny side of it. I mean, I just. I'm not sure that I'm really right for this.

And they said the form that I filled out when I went into the audition was, eh, eh, put a line through it. And, you know, I remember they said they have a tape where they say, you know, tell us about your sex life. And I was like, what, with my husband or with everybody else? And they were like, oh, okay. So I saw the funny side, but I wasn't gonna go for the interview because they had.

They wanted you to be submitted in groups of people, you know, like, you were a group. So these women had put me in a group, and there were women that came to the restaurant, and they weren't really friendly with me. And I thought, oh, my God, no, this is not gonna work for me at all. So then it was Jennifer Stallone. Jennifer, if you're listening, who said to me, oh, come on, you've got to go for it.

Like, go for it. And she made me sit down on their bed and watch the New York housewives. And they were kind of yelling and screaming at each other. And I was like, it's not me at all. I said, go for it.

Go for it. So I went in and I had no kind of preconception of what was about to transpire. And they asked me this. I was like, oh, fuck. Come on.

Are you serious? Do they really think I would sit down and tell them about my sex life when I don't even know them? What planet are they on? Because if you remember, right in the first episode, they said, lisa, you know something about your sex life? And I said, oh, yeah, twice a year, you know, like birthdays at Christmas.

That's not my birthday. You know, it's another day off. And they took it seriously. So suddenly I was on the news talking about having sex twice a year, and I was like, oh, shit, now I better behave because, you know, everything they said was being taken literally. But you're so entertaining.

Alex Cooper
And even just that in itself, like, I think people love that and you're so good at it. I was gonna see the world through my eyes, you know? And it was just if I didn't care if everybody judged me, I mean, I set myself up for people to hate me because I was like, you know, I love pink. I had a little dog that I carried around that had, you know, terrible kind of skin problems. He was always compromised.

Lisa Vanderpump
Chicky and I had alopecia and stuff. I used to feel feed him on a silver platter, you know. I always took the piss out of my husband, you know, so it was just like, I set myself up for people to go, she's a fucking lunatic. And guess what? They were right.

Alex Cooper
You think people thought you were a lunatic? Well, I think, you know, I set it, you know, I was this wealthy woman. They didn't know how hard I've worked in my life. They didn't know that I fed the homeless every Monday for twelve years. They didn't know I had, you know, charities, you know, that I would support.

Lisa Vanderpump
I'd worked hard my whole life with Ken. I'd been married forever in a day. And, you know, I was living in this big house. I love pink. I had a little dog.

I drove around a fuck off car. You know what I mean? So, yes, I mean, it was easy to be obnoxious. I think there's something about also television that, like, whether it's real or not, like you being yourself or playing it up for the camera, like, it's great tv. That's what I want to see.

Alex Cooper
When I see Paris Hilton and everything she is going on. I'm like, I'm entertained. Yeah, I'm entertained. And so, like, I don't think anyone can look at that and hate it. Like, maybe their jaws are dropping when they see you feeding your dog on a silver platter, and they're like, I can't even, like, afford kibble for my freaking dog.

Yeah, but it's like. It's aspirational and it's funny. Wait, do you actually only have sex two times a year? No, not anymore. I used to have at least twice a year.

Lisa Vanderpump
No, no, it was a joke. It was a joke. I was like, he has to beg. Put his knee pads on and crawl to me. Beg.

Alex Cooper
I remember there was a quote from. You, and you were, like, very strong physical connection with my husband. I met him. I was married within three months. That's not somebody that has sex twice a year.

Lisa Vanderpump
Trust me, that seal the deal. You have such iconic lines. I remember one of your lines was like, my husband calls me the sex object. He asks for sex, and I object.

I know. Well, you know, people. I thought if they're gonna take it seriously, then they don't understand me totally. You know? Is it true?

Andy Cohen
I remember reading somewhere, probably not. Let's start with that. Absolutely not. Oh, by the way, also don't have a publicist. Just because I don't give a shit what people talk about me is none of my business.

Lisa Vanderpump
So I don't have a publicist. I mean, I have a lot of publicity, especially with three shows on the air. Right. You know, I've done. Oh, my God.

I don't know what I've done press wise, but I don't try to control it. It is what it is. It is. And also, like, I feel like you're seasoned enough where, like, you're not gonna say something that's gonna get you canceled. And, like, also, you can't really get canceled.

Alex Cooper
Like, unless you do something so awful that you go to jail. I guess that's considered canceled. Yes, I guess. Which isn't. No, no, you're not going to jail.

Okay. I'm curious. This was. The rumor was, like, Andy Cohen was, like, not completely sold with Bravo that they were going to do Beverly Hills. Oh, the housewives love it when you say this.

Lisa Vanderpump
Go ahead, say it, say it. Oh, they're all going to come. That they were his words. And then it was in the Huffington Post. I think that he said it.

Alex Cooper
Okay, tell people the story, though. No, I can't. Yeah. Okay, so it's two his words. Okay.

So Andy Cohen said that he wasn't sold if they wanted to do the Beverly Hills franchise. God, I can see the rich is just spinning right now. And then he saw your tape and was like, oh, I immediately had a vision. I immediately know we had to make it. And it's like, I could see that happening.

But I'm assuming that pisses the other women off. Oh, I think, yeah. And then I got Vanderpump rules the second season. But that was, you know, that wasn't so much about someone's calling you. Should we answer?

Lisa Vanderpump
Yes, but. Oh, it's Kyle saying, I just heard that. Oh.

I can't imagine. Kyle Richards. No, it's my daughter. But don't worry. Don't worry.

Yeah, that's my grandson. Oh, so sweet. Say, hi, sweetie. Every minute of every minute. Hi, sweetie.

Alex Cooper
I'm in the middle of an interview. Be back soon. So you don't know if it's true. Those are Andy's words, but no, no. He has said it.

Lisa Vanderpump
It is true. But. And I understand maybe I was a slightly different flavor also being English and being, like, having a ridiculous sense of humor. And even now, I mean, I did his. I did his watch what happens live the other night, and he was like, oh, my God.

Fucking love it. Andy, stop it. Do you think you're his favorite housewife? I. Well, I mean, I think there's a few people that aren't his favorite housewives now, after what he's been through.

And I really vociferously defended him because all those allegations are absolute bullshit. They did. Big investigation. No, I think he's got a love for. There's a few of us, but I think he definitely has connected with me on many levels and socialized with me.

That's why he's like, if. If anybody knew what I was up to, Lisa Vanderpump was. I was like, oh, my God, don't take me down that road. It's true. But it's true.

I knew that he was innocent of all this bullshit. Yeah. And also, there's something very reassuring for women about a gold star gay, a man that is not attracted woman that you can play with. You know, you can really. I play with Andy.

I'd say very, very, you know, like, kind of strong sexual innuendos. But, you know, it's not going anywhere. Right, right. It's a joke. Or as a straight man, you'd have to be careful, you know, very careful.

But handicohn is a straight man. Is never gonna happen. No, it's definitely not gonna happen when you're at the center of drama, because that is what comes with being on these shows. How does it impact you? Well, I think I, you know, when people say, oh, you didn't turn up for the reunion when you left?

And I was like, no, I drew a line in the sand, thought, that's it. I am not going, and I'm not gonna finish this show. I said at the beginning of season, you know, I've been very honest about this. I was very involved with the Trevor project and done psas for them. My only sibling committed suicide.

I was really, like, not in good shape. I mean, if I. I've talked about this, if I opened the fridge, you know, there wasn't milk in there, I'd start to cry. It was, like, on that edge all the time. And for the first time in my life, I took some medications, some anti antidepressants, just to try and get over them.

And I was really. Yeah, I was not in good shape. And I said, okay, I'll do Vanderbump rules, which I started filming just, I think, three or four days after my brother's funeral. So I started that, and I thought, let's just not talk about it, you know? But I also don't really have that personal connection on Vanderpump rules as far as my personal life.

We've always seen me mentoring them and supporting them, so we kind of, you know, got through that. And then they would, like, come back to housewives. I said, I just can't do it anymore. And I think about four, four or five out of the nine years they'd come for me, you know, where they all gang up and they this and that. And I'd been at those reunions where I'd sat there, you know, with them all kind of coming at me.

Like, that wasn't funny when you said that, or you did this or you did that. And I was just like, I'm gonna leave right now. When I threw Kyle out the house, and I'm never going back. When you look back, like, why do you think so many of the women came for you? I don't know.

I suppose they might have thought I was favored in some way. I don't know. I really don't know. I mean, I think we all know, but I would never say it. I mean, I had Vanderpump rules given to me, my own show as executive producer with the same company and the same network.

Alex Cooper
Yeah. Like in the second season of housewives. So that was a huge privilege. And then that's gone on for twelve years. So maybe suddenly I was sitting on the other side, as executive producer with maybe that, you know, stimulated certain feelings.

Lisa Vanderpump
I don't know, but they certainly didn't make my life easy on that show. I was gonna say, I think, like, naturally, anyone that's a bystander and, like, is unbiased can just be like, oh, there's, like, a lot of jealousy. Like, the fact that you were able to make something so much bigger out of what you were doing, it's amazing. Well, I just think whenever anybody says that about themselves, like, oh, they're jealous of me. It just sounds pathetic, of course, self aggrandizing.

But I just think I was afforded a lot of kind of. And also, the audience would nearly always support me, so even when they came against me, they never had anything. So the audience would always kind of rally and my defense and, you know, I would do these appearances with rose and wine and dog appearances and shelter things. In fact, I'm doing one this afternoon, a shelter thing. And people connected to me.

You know, if it was about my love of dogs, our furry friends, and if it was about marriage, you know, having a long marriage, if it was about suicide prevention, if it was about lgbt issues, it was about my son, who are adopted from foster care that we never really talked about. But, you know, all these issues, people would always connect with me emotionally. And. You're funny. Yeah, you're pretty.

I mean, I never think I'm funny. I just think I'm telling my side of the story. You're just talking, and then it goes. I'm just talking. I have a narrative that runs through my head all time.

Sometimes I actually think, I better not say that, but very rarely. Normally, I just say it. Lisa, when do you decide, like, when it's time to confront someone for drama verse? When you're just like, it's not worth my time. I'm not going to address it.

Well, if they're just being ridiculous, maybe let them have their moment, you know, let everybody else tell them. But if I feel somebody's lying to me, that's it. If I feel that, you know, yeah, then I'm going to call them out. That's my killer's heel. Can you give any of the girls listening advice?

Alex Cooper
Like, when someone just, like, doesn't like you and has it out for you, like, give us advice, like, how do we handle that? I think you should look at statistics in the world. As a woman that's grown up, you know, amongst many, many people, I've not been sitting in an office every day. I've been, like, around the restaurant business, there's seven and a half or whatever it is, billion people in this planet. If somebody doesn't like you, then fuck them.

Lisa Vanderpump
You know what I mean? I mean, I do think also, I do think you should look at things and think, okay, why are they behaving like this often? It's jealousy. If you couldn't think, okay, they don't have a good reason. Really.

Look at yourself objectively. You know, a friend of mine was going through this relationship and kind of split up their significant other. And I can see this person's very strong person. I kept saying, maybe you should look at how, you know, what your part is in the relationship. Sometimes I think, you know, try and have a good look at yourself and your own actions and.

And grow from that. But somebody doesn't like you, they don't have to as well. You know, sometimes you feel this kind of visceral reaction that I don't really like that person. Right. Then you don't piss off.

Alex Cooper
Bye. Exactly. There's somebody else around the corner. Okay, we're gonna play a game. Yes.

Never have I ever. Bravo edition. If you've ever been in one of these scenarios, tell the story, okay? Okay. Never have I ever gotten a drink thrown in my face.

Lisa Vanderpump
No, I've been there. When one. Oh, no, I wasn't there. That was Brandi Glanville chucking one in Eileen's face. No, I haven't had a drink thrown in my face.

Alex Cooper
That's amazing. Which, owning a bar, that's pretty cool. Have you had one? Have you had one thrown in your face? I have never had one thrown in my face.

Andy Cohen
Have you ever? I think it's a okay. It's common on Bravo. I feel like, yes, Darcy's done it a few times. Everyone's chucking shit.

Alex Cooper
People's face. Yeah. I'm like, no, I normally drink it, run through it. Someone's coming for me. I think, oh, I need to drink this.

Lisa Vanderpump
I'll swallow it whole. You're like, oh, shit. Gotta get drunk. What are they coming at me for exactly. What is the fastest way to piss you off?

Lying to me. Why? I don't like late either. Really? I mean, I know I was ten minutes late here because I was, like, juggling with things.

I've got to meet at 1130. And I was like, yeah, you got to delay it. But I don't like people. I think it's disrespectful when you're late because I think you're basically telling somebody that, you know, your time is worth much more than theirs. I don't like that.

Really? I appreciate that. I appreciate that. Okay. Never have I ever known a castmate's partner was cheating.

Yes, you have? Yeah. In what circumstance? Well, there was somebody that's recently had this kind of complicated scenario. Yeah.

In one of the shows, I'm not telling you. And I kind of knew. Yeah, I've known. Yeah. And in that situation, did you say something to the person or you just let it be?

Alex Cooper
Mmm. No, I didn't say anything. Why didn't you say anything? Because sometimes people don't want to hear it. You know what I find surprising?

Yeah. Is that they're on a reality show. It's like. And they're living their lives. And of course, all marriages have problems, you know, anybody that says, oh, he's perfect, my love, and then my king, my this, like, fuck off.

Lisa Vanderpump
It's like your husband and get real. It's like sometimes you want to strangle them. Sometimes, like, yeah, there's parts of it, you know? Like, I'm like, if you snore one more time, I'm going to put the pillow over your head. You know what I mean?

Like, you've got a choice. Here is this spare room pillow was divorced. But it's like, then suddenly they get divorced, but they've been saying, oh, love being all my king. My mother's or my. That life's not like that.

You've got two imperfect people living together that it's not, you know, and that's bullshit. And then on the reality show, suddenly, how many times have you seen this? Especially on that show that I used to be on, how many times? Everything's just going just fine and then, oh, we're getting a divorce. Oh, okay.

You know. Or, oh, we've just separated. Oh, we've separated when it's been going on for months and years. Right. And it's not like you're not being authentic on camera, because obviously, I also do agree with you, though.

Alex Cooper
When people are like, my honey bunny, we're perfect. What the fuck is wrong really going on? Like, I don't believe this for fucking honey bunny. Get the fuck down here.

So happy. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly. Let's hear the truth. Right.

Lisa Vanderpump
You know, we can have. We've been married a long time, and we have, you know, a lot of good moments, and he's got sense for you, and he indulges me and so many things. Like, you know, luckily, he's got the same passions I have. The fact we've got seven dogs, I mean, most men would be like, you know, he'd never say, like, you know, when you see these guys, they go, oh, does this dog shed? It's a dog.

Yes. Ken would never say anything like that. You know, like. Right. I'm actually curious.

Alex Cooper
When you said you didn't tell the person because they don't want to hear it, I feel like a lot of times there's also where you're like. Cause they know. Yeah, sometimes I think. Right. Also, they're not.

Lisa Vanderpump
I often think if you say too much, unless then I think that you lose both of them. You know what I mean? Right. Like, if you get involved, it's not your place. Yeah.

Especially if they get bit. That's when it gets so awkward. No, but you're right, Lisa. It's like if you told this woman this one, sometimes they don't want to believe it, so then it comes back on you, and then they both hate you. Or if they do break up and get back together, then they're like, it's too awkward.

Exactly. We can't see you ever. Yeah, exactly. This didn't happen, so you gotta go away. Right.

Alex Cooper
Okay. Can I? It's gotta either be Kyle or Dorit. No, you're not guessing or doing or saying anything because that is not a headline I'm living with, so. No, it's not either of them.

Lisa Vanderpump
It could be, but it's not. Okay, fair. Okay, fair. Okay, fair. How did it make you feel when people were convinced that you did know about tomorrow and Raquel's, like, affair for so long?

Oh, I didn't really even know that. Did they think that I knew? Yeah, there was like a conspiracy during all of it. Oh, God, no, no, no, no. I didn't know.

I did say, well, hold on a second. You know, in the kitchen that time, I was like, miss Malibu's in the jacuzzi? And I said, that's not, you know, that's not okay. I mean, and Ariana was vociferous in saying, no, no, no, she's my friend. I'm fine with that.

And I said, well, I wouldn't be fine with that if I was away on the other side of town and Miss Malibu was in. In the jacuzzi with. With whoever she is, whether it's Raquel or any, you know, beauty queen was in the, you know, jacuzzi with my husband when I was away. No, that's not okay. Is this what we call Raquel now, Miss Malibu?

Well, I do. I mean, I'm just saying. Or miss, you know, whoever Texas or any gorgeous creature. And I'm on the other side of the country and she's sitting in the jacuzzi. Whether she's got mal intent or not, my husband would definitely be thinking, oh, I wonder how long my wife's staying away for.

You know what I mean? It's like, yeah, no, so if I'd known, I wouldn't have been saying that. Yeah. You know, you're right. So I wouldn't have condoned that if.

Alex Cooper
My husband was in a hot tub with a woman. Yes. When you're away, dead. Yeah. Death.

Yeah, exactly. Get out by. Yeah. Penis. Yeah, exactly.

Yes, exactly. Oops. Flanking over the highway. Exactly. Right.

So, yeah, okay. And that was. And I was calling it. And I wouldn't have been calling it if I. If I'd known.

I was saying, hold on a second. I said, you lied. She just came in looking like a bag. Shit. Remember for the food tasting?

Alex Cooper
Yeah. I said, what are you doing? You look like a wreck. You're late. What's going on?

Lisa Vanderpump
And they were like, oh, no, we're good friends. And. And, you know, Ariana was saying, oh, we're good friends. Should never do that. Well, you know.

Yeah. So. But that's also when you feel a gut feeling. Yeah, it's. Oh, it's usually right.

Yeah, it's usually right. My job on that show is to sort this hot mess out. So that is something. If I had known, I would have said, hey, guys, you know, that is. Let'S get it together.

Yeah. But she was so vocal about defending Raquel that I think that's what took it to a whole different level. And then Raquel asked her about her sex life while she was banging her husband or boyfriend. That was one of. That was it.

That felt sociopathic to me. That felt like, I don't give a fuck about anybody's thoughts or feelings. I. It doesn't permeate, you know. Right.

Alex Cooper
If anything, I'm, like, interested to know what, like, your experience is because I'm. Having it at the same time. Does he? Yeah. Like, can you imagine if a woman came up to you and asked you that question?

I would immediately be like, what is wrong with you? Yeah. That was seditious. Yeah, that's it. Yeah.

Lisa Vanderpump
Yeah.

Have you tried sparkling ice yet? It's got great flavor, plus vitamins and antioxidants and no sugar. Sparkling ice is soda. If soda had substance, okay? They've got more than 15 flavors with just the right amount of carbonation.

Kiwi, strawberry, orange, mango, black cherry. And don't get me started on the pineapple coconut flavor. Mmm. Mmm. One sip and you're on spring break.

So ditch soda and enter your flavor era. Sparkling ice. Anything but subtle. Never have I ever brought the receipts to prove a point in an argument. Like, showed the text message, showed the emails.

Lisa Vanderpump
Oh, I think I've done that. But I don't know, probably on housewives or. Yeah. Yeah. Like, I don't really have a paper trail.

It kind of like, things go by. I remember, you know, I remember. Was it something like Lisa Rinna? I said, oh, God, I hardly ever speak to you on the phone. I've got receipts.

Ten phone calls, and I'm like, well, that's hard. Yeah. Nearly ten phone calls this year is if I liked you. I called you ten times this morning. Yeah, exactly.

So I don't know. It's such nonsense. Are you good at keeping secrets for people? Very good. Yeah, very good.

Alex Cooper
Like a vault. Yeah, I love that. Yeah, that's good. But it's not because I'm loyal. It's because I forget I'm obsessed with you.

Stop. They tell you, like, this deep, dark secret a couple months later. So hold on a second. Was it you? That shack?

Lisa Vanderpump
Oh, yes. Maybe we sad. Okay. Never have I ever participated in swinging. No.

Alex Cooper
Oh. But my parents have. No way. Wait, how did you know? Well, it was the sixties.

Lisa Vanderpump
Oh, my God. My father's still alive. No, this doesn't kill him. This doesn't go to England, does it. This is what ends it all.

Alex Cooper
Stop. How did you know your parents were swinging? I remember them talking about the sixties. You know, they were, like, young, newly married, and everybody was kind of doing that a bit. You know, they didn't give me details.

Lisa Vanderpump
I think they gave details to my nephew that one of their grandsons. And I was like, oh, I really don't want to even think about that. When I saw, you know, John Ham, and I didn't. Yeah. And I heard.

I didn't. I didn't know about his nether regions as well. Somebody told me that afterwards. I was saying John Hamm. And they went, well, you know about John Ham.

Alex Cooper
We. I don't know about John Hamm. Oh, does he have a big penis? No, no, but they were talking about it. There's many.

Lisa Vanderpump
I mean, it should have its own instagram, apparently I said that. But, I mean, there were these pictures of saying, really? Yeah. No, but it was covered. It was decent.

But it was. But it was big. Yeah, but we were laughing. Oh, and you're like, ooh, Ken, should we swing to the left over here with John O'Hare? Oh, no.

You'd have to wake me up and give me a cup of tea first. I don't know. I don't have the energy for swinging. Has anyone ever approached you to swing?

I think I might have had hints, you know, but it's kind of insulting. I would like people to approach me on a daily basis. If you're listening to this, you want to swing, please ask me. No, it's like, I think I was so obsessively. I'm a little jealous as well, I think.

Obsessively in love with my husband. Getting married so quick and being so. Young, you couldn't see him with another woman. No, I don't really want to see him. You'd, like, be with the.

I could have somebody. I don't think that would be quite what he was envisaging. Like, see, that really has guy over there. Should we swing with him? That's probably not what he would be up for.

Alex Cooper
Or if you're super jealous, you would, like, be with the other woman's, like, husband. And you'd be, like, hanging out with my shoulder. Exactly. I'd be like, oh, my God, Ken. Be on all fours.

Lisa Vanderpump
And I'll be like, what? What's he doing? I'd be way more interested in what he was doing than what I was doing. I'm obsessed. I haven't the answer.

Never have I ever. Never. And probably at this stage, not going to. That's kind of sad. It's okay.

Alex Cooper
But, you know, mind you, I put. It out there now maybe I'll get lots of opportunities. Oh, I bet there's gonna be so many people now. Yes, so many people. I'll pass.

Lisa Vanderpump
I'd rather have a cup of tea. Okay. Okay. Never have I ever been married as long as I have. Like, how many?

Let's think so. 42 years. So that's gonna be, like, 14,000 days, roughly. Do you think there's anything that I haven't done that I need to do? Probably not.

I mean, there's things I haven't done, but there's things I haven't done that I haven't wanted to do. Have you ever, like, are you. No. No. I'm like, do you want me to ask you a couple sexual questions?

No, not really. Okay. Um. Never have I ever shared a secret with a castmate, and then they went and shared it on camera?

Gosh, I don't remember that. I'm sure it's happened. No, but I do remember now. I haven't watched Beverly Hills. I don't care what anybody says.

I haven't watched it. I've seen sometimes snippets on Twitter where they'll have, like, a little screen thing, and you click on it. I think, oh, I wonder what's going on. It was Erika Jane and Kyle. And she said something like, Eric Jane said, oh, you said, I'm glad that everybody's gonna see how mean Cassie is or what she's really like, you know?

And Kyle turned around and said, yeah, but that was supposed to be between us. No, no. Yes. And I thought, oh, my God. Yeah, no, but that feels like a theme in reality tv.

Alex Cooper
Where wasn't it, like, Lala and Katie in the reunion? It was like Lala was upset with Katie because she's like, you literally said that you were, like, basically hating on Ariana to me off camera, and then you're acting all nice on camera. I don't like that. I think it's just keep it straight. Right.

Lisa Vanderpump
So as I say, I. My mind's so full of other things, I find that it's much easier just to play the one, you know, play it as it is. Right. Because I can't remember what's on camera, what's off camera, what I did yesterday, what I did today. And it's just like when people say, oh, you're lying.

My memory's not good enough to lie. I have to speak from experience. You know what I mean? Yeah, I remember things concisely, you know? Absolutely.

When I experience them, if I'm making it up, I don't remember what I made up. I. That's a good point. Yeah. No, no.

Alex Cooper
Do you think, though, now people with social media are getting, like, too afraid to act certain ways in front of camera because of what, like, the public and the comments are gonna say, I. Think the most popular reality stars are people that are truly authentic and don't give a fuck. I mean, I think one of the best reality stars I've ever worked with is James Kennedy. And he's got it wrong on so many levels. So good.

Lisa Vanderpump
And he's seen so much growth with him. He's so entertaining. Do you think that I still have the infamous scene back in the day when he was talking to Lala and they're, like, yelling about pasta and everyone was like, this has to be about drugs. This has to be cocaine. Do you think it's actually about pasta?

No, I think it's not about. Yeah, it's not about. It's not about the pasta. That was one of the funniest scenes, I think. Yeah, that is one.

It was kind of iconic that it was on t shirts after. I don't know. Really? I mean, they've both been pretty open. Yeah.

And I think I love the duo together. I can't imagine those two, when they say they've had sex a couple of times, it's like, that just doesn't seem to me. How did they ever get there, those two? It doesn't mean. It doesn't make sense to me either.

Alex Cooper
I feel like she's such a woman either. You can't text? I'm not. I'm looking because my meeting's at 1130. No, it's 1050.

Lisa Vanderpump
Yeah. You have time? 1051. Oh. Oh, my God.

Alex Cooper
I actually can't picture Lala and him having sex either, because I feel like. The cup of tea that they offered me when I first came in was so nice. Said, no, get you tea. Oh. They said, would you like anything?

Lisa Vanderpump
I said, oh, cup of tea would be great. Never happened. Can someone text Charlie for a cup of tea? Yeah. How much tea do you drink during the day?

A lot. Probably too much. Really? Yeah. But more tea than alcohol, which is kind of unique.

Alex Cooper
Do you ever spike your tea a little bit? What, with alcohol? Yeah, that's quite. Is that a good idea? Oh, no, I don't think.

Lisa Vanderpump
I don't drink in the day. Very rarely. You never see me drink. I think you can spank your tea a couple times and see where it takes you. Lisa?

Well, yeah. Yeah, I got hit without it, really. I probably don't need it. Do you think you'll ever be friends with any of the women again from housewives? Let me think about that for a moment.

No, no. Um. Well, I think if there's a true apology, and actually somebody says, you know what, I really regret it, and I'm really sorry I said that, and I know I tried to humiliate you or whatever, then, yes, there would always be room, but you'll never get that from them. Are you someone that holds grudges? Yeah, I do.

Fuck off. I'm like, yeah, I'm gonna hold a grudge. I mean, I won't hold a grudge till it's like, if it's detrimental to me, if it's like, you know, if it's eating away at you and you're angry about it, then I think you've got to sort it out. But if holding a grudge is mean, I'm done, and I don't want to, because I know who you are. I see who you are.

You don't have the best intention for me. Now, that's a grudge. But if it's something that's eating away at you, that you have that feeling, you're stubborn, that's not healthy. I'd rather get rid of. Of that.

Like, I haven't really been angry about, you know, housewives. I mean, I get asked about it a lot. I really very rarely ever bring it up myself. But if it was eating away at me or something like that, then I think, okay, I need to sort this out. So I would always say that as advice.

If it's eating away at you, you need to deal with it. But if you could actually go, oh, I'm done. And if that's a grudge. Yeah, hold it. Hold it tightly.

Alex Cooper
I completely agree, because I feel like a grudge. For me, I'm like, I want to normalize having grudges more, but if you know what someone is, even if they apologize to me, sure, clear the air. But I still don't like you. Yeah. And that's okay.

Lisa Vanderpump
Yeah, exactly. That's okay. Because if I thought you were a good person and you weren't, I got it wrong before, and now you've shown me the old expression, you know, fool me once, pull me twice, but. Or, shame on. Shame on you.

Shame on me. You know, that's so. No, that's a grudge. Yeah, I'm all about that. We all about, like, I'm not going to be.

Alex Cooper
Yeah. I'm not going to be stupid. You know, it's just like, if somebody screws you financially in business, you're not going to lend them money again. How about that, period? Okay, let's talk about Vanderpump rules.

Lisa Vanderpump
Mistakes. My girls. Okay. The original cast were employed at your restaurant. Yes.

Alex Cooper
And you were their boss. Yes. What is the most insane thing you've had to fire someone for? Oh, all kinds of things over the years. Running restaurants.

Lisa Vanderpump
I mean, of course, the shagging in the back and everything. I mean, God, I mean, that's stealing. And stealing, of course, not on Vanderpump rules. I mean, in the restaurant business, I've seen so many things. Just even with people coming in.

I mean, imagine you have your house open and you have maybe a thousand people come through that door every night. At some point you're gonna go, what the fuck? How often? Are they having sex? Yeah.

Or not just that, but where's my. Where's the big mirror in my bathroom? How did they get it out there during lunch? You know, stupid shit. You know, like, you think, oh, my God.

Yeah. There's been a lot of creative ways of stealing that we've caught. You know, that you think, you know, people bring their own liquor and things like that. Yeah. I mean, stealing a mirror and.

Alex Cooper
Why. Yeah, yeah. Many, many things. Yeah. Many different things.

Okay. I didn't realize that sir stands for sexy, unique restaurant. It doesn't start. We just put that up next to it. But it was south in Spanish because, remember, I bought into that restaurant when it was about a 10th of the size to get my visa because I was in the restaurant business and we wanted to stay here.

Lisa Vanderpump
So we thought, do you know best? Yeah. Okay. What is your most sexy and unique quality, Lisa? Um.

I'm very tactile. I mean, you saw the way I make out my dog. Imagine that. Like, you know, like I am, like, very. Yeah.

Listen, you see the way I do flowers. You see the way I run a business. You see the way I decorate. You see the way I'm with my dog. You see the way I am.

I'm like a perfectionist. So, of course, as a lover, and this isn't to those people that want to swing with me, because you'd. I'd really be a big disappointment. But I'm talking about in the past, if there are a couple of people that approach you, he'd swing. Forget it.

I'm too lazy for that now. But I'm a perfectionist, so I think even making love, I could be a perfectionist. Oh, Lisa. Right? That was a good answer.

Sexy, isn't it? Even you're thinking, oh, my God, who is this woman? Yeah, that's, I'm just trying to picture it. I'm like, oh, my God, it's so sexual. Okay, that's a good answer.

Alex Cooper
Okay. If you had to pick which Vanderpump rules, cast member, were you mostly, like, in your twenties? Any cast member from all seasons? I think I'm quite a lot like Stassi in a way. I'm not chucking people, chucking drinks in people's faces, but I was always kind of out for Stasi.

Lisa Vanderpump
Sees the funny side. Stassi, you know, it was such a disappointment to me when she was let go, but it was a sign of the times everybody was, you know, reacting to what was going on in the world. And I agree. I understood that. But I think that if we all look back on what we did when we were younger, you know, like, everybody makes so many mistakes.

Alex Cooper
Yeah. I think that's the point of growth, you know? And as I say in this new show, Gordon Ramsay show, seeing people, how they developed. Oh, my God. How I saw the growth in the show of people.

Lisa Vanderpump
Like, they came in like this and they left like this. So that's, to me, one of the most exciting things. And I think Stasi's taken it and run with it, which I think was great. I agree. I think she had, like, one of the most iconic, like, character arcs in that show of just, like, how she started with Jackson.

I don't give a fuck. And I'm gonna say exactly what I want to say. That makes for the best tv. Like you said, james Kennedy. Yeah, no apologies.

Yeah. That group, over the years, has been, like, kind of, like, a little incestuous. Like, everyone's kind of getting a little. They've all shagged each other. Oh, my God.

A little. It's a lot that according to you. Please define any greater incest than I have shown you in that group. Please. I was trying to be like, ok.

Just, like, calm about it. Just tell it how it is. What is your stance on, like, that concept of, like, homey hopping of, like, everyone kind of, like, getting with each other's friends and getting with each other's boyfriends and girlfriends? Well, I mean, there's only a few dynamics left to, like, who would we. Need to hook up?

Alex Cooper
Um, Lala and Schwartz. Do you think it would ever happen? I wouldn't mind that, actually. I wouldn't mind that. You wouldn't.

Lisa Vanderpump
I mean, Schwartz is very kind. He's kind, but like, he can't stand up for shit. And Lala needs someone to be like, yeah, I agree with you. I back you. He can't even like back his himself.

Yeah, but maybe you just carry the baby around, say yes, cuddle and stuff. I've always found him adorable. I know he got it totally wrong. I love you.

Alex Cooper
A lot of drama over the years, but obviously the biggest thing was scandal that took the Internet. Ariana got a lot of heat this season because she didn't want to film with Tom in specific moments, like, what is your take on that whole thing? Well, I think it was just because the juxtaposition of her living with him and then saying, no, I won't have that conversation with him. That was what was frustrating. I think maybe if she'd drawn a line in the sand, said, that's it.

Lisa Vanderpump
I don't want to see him ever again. Hope he falls off the side of a cliff. But, you know, it was all very, you know, I wasn't on Tom's side at all, but I was on the side of empathy. And when the whole world was against him. I've talked about this many times sitting at the White House correspondence dinner, and they bring it up sitting in Adele's concert, they bring it up seeing it on CNN's headline.

It was kind of the punishment didn't befit the crime. And, I mean, of course, I don't condone what he did in any shape or form, but I think when the whole world's against you, sometimes it's a very dangerous thing. For as I saw my brother, and you feel there's no way out at that time and the ovary, you know, so. And when he sat and told me, I wouldn't use all of it, but he sat and told me, and I said, as an executive producer, guys, you have to use this. You have to be honest and show him, you know, in, in this moment of just like, the suicide ideation scared me.

Now, whether some people say, you know, oh, he's acting, or, oh, it's not true, it's not authentic, I don't give a shit. I have experienced suicide firsthand with my brother. And for me, I'd rather not take that chance. So I felt that he, he did so many great things as well for people over the years. I mean, you know, I was talking to Israel.

Do you remember Israel, who actually now works for me? He was telling me how when he sleep on the floor, Sanibel used to pay his rent so he wouldn't, you know. So Sanibel has a lot of good components. Do you. He has a girlfriend now, right?

Yes. How can. Do you think he's gonna cheat on her? Yes.

I don't know. Maybe this is the one. No, maybe this is the one. I don't think that Sandoval, from my knowledge, is that sexually motivated, because I think he said that. I just don't think he's that kind of guy, you know, where there's a lot of guy that's jagged, right?

Like, I don't think it's like that, but I think this girl apparently is gorgeous. Oh, I thought the tea was coming. Is it coming? So, Chris, they're working on. I think they probably didn't know, like, if we.

Alex Cooper
They were allowed to interrupt. Cuz sometimes I'm like, lock the door. Don't come. Oh, really? Oh, yeah.

I'm like, get out of my studio. Okay, let's talk about you being. What kind of boss are you? I'm like, I'm locking myself in this room. Don't bother me because I don't want to interrupt.

What if you were saying something so brilliant and the doorway. Probably not gonna happen. I feel like it kind of ended this season and it was like, the friend group is a disaster. We've been in that place before. But do you think it's gonna continue?

Like. Well, I think the thing is with this show is I think that people feel very attached to it because they've grown up with it and there's been, at some point, somebody will identify with one of them in the group. And I think that it will be hard for people, really to let it go. So do I think it would be back? Yes.

Lisa Vanderpump
Do I think it needs to breathe? Yes. Am I totally busy and so, you know, opening another restaurant? Yes. So I think, let's just give it a minute.

Let everybody live their life. I have a pitch for you. Go on. Then I say no, because, yeah, I think I'm so busy. I think that the next season of Vanderpump.

Yes. Should be you getting everyone in a room. Yes. And firing. All swinging.

Oh, swinging. You're like, lala, get over here. Katie, get over here. And you fire all of them. Yeah.

Alex Cooper
And you push them to a different show that's more like grown up or whatever. And you bring a whole new cast in and you start fresh. And everyone works at sir, and it's all young talent. And these kids, like, have no Instagram following yet. And you start fresh.

Like, I would die to watch kids back in at Sur, like, trying to make it in the acting or modeling agency and, like, get back at it. And I have many of them, but I do have three shows on the air. I know, I know. But I live in LA, so I'm, like, addicted to the LA, but I know, I know. You know what?

Lisa Vanderpump
From your mouth to God's ears, that might be a thought. Can you imagine the season? Here's your tea. What is this?

Alex Cooper
Tea with milk, green tea or herbal tea? Black tea with milk. I like your dungarees. I said that when I came in. I like your dungarees.

Dungarees? Yeah. What do you what do you call overalls? Overalls? No, they're dungarees.

Lisa Vanderpump
Yeah. Which one? Black tea and milk. Try it. Try them all.

I'm worried about it. I'm worried about it too. You know, I never understand why people leave the teabag in it. What do they say? Expect us to chew on it.

Alex Cooper
My assistant's gonna fucking start crying. She's literally like, okay, let's try it. Black tea and milk. Yeah, you can just throw it on the side table. It doesn't matter.

Lisa Vanderpump
Yeah, I mean, I like the color of the cup. It's pink. It's cute. Yeah. But the teaser, disaster.

Alex Cooper
Awful. Oh, it's. You wanted it black. No, I wanted it lighter, like the color of the wood. It's a disaster pasta, actually.

Lisa Vanderpump
It's really nice. Oh, I love this tea. No. Said no one ever. No.

Alex Cooper
My assistant's crying in the corner now. It's better not. I love to dungarees. I told you say overalls in with an overalls. Overall.

Lisa Vanderpump
Overall. I love her overalls. Oh, my God. You like it. Wait.

Say, I speak with american accent all the time. Wait. Yes. You like that? Say cheeseburger.

Cheeseburger. Oh, this really works for me. Say donut. I love call her daddy. Donut.

I love call her daddy. Or do you like it like this? Donut. I love call her daddy. What do you prefer?

Alex Cooper
So do you like my pitch? I can't say. But you like it? It's not necessarily your pitch. Somebody might have got there before you.

Oh, okay. But, like, the drama of everyone getting fired. Oh, I'm not gonna start opening. I I have a loyalty to these people. But you wouldn't actually.

Welcome back. I've signed you back just for one episode. Bye. No, there are still stories to tell. Oh, Lisa.

Okay. What projects? Obviously, this season is wrapped, so talk to me about your other projects. Gordon Ramsay. That was epic.

Lisa Vanderpump
Working with him for two months. I mean, Gordon's, like, a lot to handle, so I thought, okay, but we knew each other before, so I knew that it was going to be backwards and forwards, you know? But I think for him, it was very different, because normally he's the authoritarian and everything he does, and then he met me, so, yeah, it's definitely a different show. Did you put him in his place? Well, yeah, I kind of enjoyed doing that a little bit.

Alex Cooper
Oh, you got a little excited? Not a little bit. Okay, last two questions. What is the best part and worst part of essentially living your life on tv?

Lisa Vanderpump
I don't like it when people lie about you. That's the worst part. The best part. There are so many beautiful things that have been forever documented. Good times, bad times.

My daughter's wedding, my little grandbaby crawling across, you know, the carpet like, I mean, when we filmed him, you know, just once or twice. Vanderpump villa, seeing the beauty and the experience that we all had there. Wonderful, wonderful moments. Really, really. My life hasn't changed that much.

Not like some people when they, you know, on television. I mean, of course, the fame and everything. But I spent a lot of time at home. I'm still in my restaurants. But, you know, when you met me on television, I had a beautiful house.

I'd had 37 restaurants prior to that that we'd sold, you know, and, um, I had a, you know, a nice lifestyle. It wasn't like some people. They start, and then they get this incredible lifestyle and don't know how to handle it. My life materially hasn't changed. You're.

Yeah, well, not always, but, I mean, when you first sense. Yeah, exactly. So that hasn't changed. But the incredible experiences that I've had, being able to go to Congress to change laws about humane treatment of dogs. Congress watched housewives.

I mean, so having access to so many things, being voted, you know, one of the women of the year by state assembly, like, just. I mean, speaking at causes that I'm passionate about, being given so many opportunities, can't minimize that, ever. What do you think is the biggest misconception about you? That I'm a highmatch. I don't mind people thinking that.

I just feel really, sometimes I'm thinking, oh, am I disappointing them? When I show up on my own and I'm doing my own makeup? I'm thinking maybe they would like me to be like certain members of housewives. When I had all this shit and people running around after me. I can't even get a cup of tea in this place.

Alex Cooper
Okay, I feel like I have to ask you this now. It's my last question. I just need to know, now that you've told me all these little things. Yes. Lisa Vanderpump.

Lisa Vanderpump
Yes. What is your favorite sex position? Oh, God, it's so long ago. I don't remember. I think it's on my back, asleep.

And on that note, good night.

Alex Cooper
Thank you so much for coming on. This was so fun. Thank you. I saw that would have been your first question. That's what I was prepared for.

Lisa Vanderpump
I actually said, brav, are they going to be talking about, like, sex all the time? So it's going to be a very short interview if they do. Oh, man. I mean, I could ask you if you have any blowjob tips. Oh, yeah.

All of them. Just all of it. Just do it. Swallow it whole. Bye, darling.

Love you. Oh, my God. I have to go.

Alex Cooper
Thank you. Of course. Thank you. You're hilarious. Oh, my God.

Lisa Vanderpump
No. Thank you so much. You finally got your tea. Yes, and it ain't that good. It's better than nothing.

Alex Cooper
It's better than nothing.

Lisa Vanderpump
It's better than nothing.
