Lisa Vanderpump
Are they ready for this? Probably not.
Alex Cooper
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.
Lisa Vanderpump
You'Re here okay, good.
Alex Cooper
I've had Ariana on before during the scandal and that's the only person. Oh wait, I've had Stassy on.
Lisa Vanderpump
Oh yes, we hit it off.
Alex Cooper
But I was like, I was saving the best for last, obviously. Okay, so I'm excited. How are you doing today?
Lisa Vanderpump
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 show, you know, food stars premieres today. I've been doing stuff Vanderpump Villa reunion. I've been in Vegas, I've been in Lake Tahoe, cuz I just opened my new restaurant there. I've been here, there and everywhere.
Alex Cooper
I'm exhausted just like thinking about that.
I.
Do you ever have any downtime?
Lisa Vanderpump
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.
Alex Cooper
I'm thinking about your house. Villa Rosa.
Lisa Vanderpump
Yes. It's a sanctuary.
Alex Cooper
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?
Lisa Vanderpump
Well, I love cooking.
Alex Cooper
Okay.
Lisa Vanderpump
So I've made sure my kitchen is absolutely heavenly. Do you remember when I threw Kyle out the house and I kind of put the sledgehammer on there? I was like, 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.
Alex Cooper
Really?
Lisa Vanderpump
Yeah. I mean, I might like punch the out of him behind the doors, but I. I just always believed in having that very kind of calming, you know, I mean, I was a little crazy. I mean, 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.
Alex Cooper
It's like when you go home, you're in your sanctuary and then you leave and you deal with all the chaos.
Lisa Vanderpump
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. Ah.
Alex Cooper
I think people are so fascinated by you because you have this lavish life, but you do work so hard. Like you said, you're not sitting at home.
Lisa Vanderpump
Yes.
Alex Cooper
What would you consider yourself, high maintenance or low maintenance?
Lisa Vanderpump
Well, I mean, you see, I arrived with nobody today except my dog. I know I don't have an assistant yet. I should have one.
Alex Cooper
You don't have an assistant.
Lisa Vanderpump
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.
Alex Cooper
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. I at least thought you would have, like, maybe three people at least. I've had musicians coming here with 20.
Lisa Vanderpump
People know me, and I have one dog that travels.
Alex Cooper
Let's talk about Bravo.
Lisa Vanderpump
Yes.
Alex Cooper
Okay. Because obviously you're such an iconic part of Bravo, and with Bravo comes drama.
Lisa Vanderpump
Yes.
Alex Cooper
When all of this was starting in your life, when you got on Housewives, like, did you have any hesitations of doing reality tv?
Lisa Vanderpump
Yes, I did. Because, in fact, I'm having dinner tomorrow night with my friend Sharon Osbourne. And so I remember, really, the essence of reality television was yours. Borns. You know.
Alex Cooper
Yes.
Lisa Vanderpump
Prior to that. And that seems 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, we don't really fight. I. I see the funny side of. Oh. 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, it's put a line through it. And, you know, I remember they said they have a tape where they say, oh, 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. 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. And they're women that came to the restaurant, and they were. They weren't really friendly with me. And I thought, oh, my God, no, this is not going to 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. 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 should 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, come on. Are you serious? You want. Do they really think I would sit down and tell them about my sex life when I don't even know? And what planet are they on? Because if you remember, right, in the first episode, they said, lisa, you know something about your sex life? 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, now I better behave. Because, you know, everything they said was being taken literally.
Alex Cooper
But you're so entertaining. And even just that in itself, like, I think people love that. And you're so good at it.
Lisa Vanderpump
I was going to the world through my eyes, you know, and it was just if I. I didn't care if everybody judged me. I mean, I. 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, cheeky, you know, 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 lunatic. And guess what? They were right.
Alex Cooper
You think people thought you were a lunatic?
Lisa Vanderpump
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 12 years. They didn't know I had, you know, charities, you know, that I would support. I'd worked hard my whole life with Ken. I'd be 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 off car. You know what I mean? So, yes, I mean, it was easy to be obnoxious.
Alex Cooper
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. It's.
Lisa Vanderpump
That's what I want to see, right? This city.
Alex Cooper
When I see Paris Hilton and everything she is going on, I'm like, I'm entertained.
Lisa Vanderpump
Yeah.
Alex Cooper
I'm entertained.
Lisa Vanderpump
Yeah.
Alex Cooper
And so, like, I don't think anyone can look at that and hate it. Like, they're 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 fricking dog. Yeah, but it's like, it's aspirational and it's funny. Wait, do you actually only have sex two times a year?
Lisa Vanderpump
No, not anymore. I mean, I used to have at least twice a year. No, no, it was a joke. He has to beg. You know, put his knee pads on and crawl to me. Beg.
Alex Cooper
I remember there was a quote from.
Lisa Vanderpump
A 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. Seal the deal.
Alex Cooper
You have such iconic lines. I remember one of your lines was like, I like, my husband calls me the sex object. Like he asked for sex and I object. I know.
Lisa Vanderpump
Well, you know, people, I thought if they're going to take it seriously, then they don't understand me.
Alex Cooper
Totally. You know, is it true? I remember reading somewhere, probably not. No.
Lisa Vanderpump
Let's start with that.
Alex Cooper
Absolutely not.
Lisa Vanderpump
Oh, by the way, I also don't have a publicist. Just.
Alex Cooper
Okay.
Lisa Vanderpump
Because I don't give a. What people talk about me is none of my business. I don't have a publicist. I mean, I have a lot of publicity because especially with three shows on the air.
Alex Cooper
Right.
Lisa Vanderpump
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.
Alex Cooper
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, like, unless you do something so awful that you go to jail. I guess that's considered canceled.
Lisa Vanderpump
Yes, I guess. Which isn't. No, no.
Alex Cooper
Right. You're not going to go. 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.
Lisa Vanderpump
Oh, the housewives love it when you say this. Go ahead, say it. Say it.
Alex Cooper
Oh, they're all gonna come.
Lisa Vanderpump
Saw my tape. That. 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.
Lisa Vanderpump
No, I can't.
Alex Cooper
Okay, so it's two self.
Lisa Vanderpump
They're his words.
Alex Cooper
Okay, so Andy Cohen said that he wasn't sold if they wanted to do the Beverly Hills franchise.
Lisa Vanderpump
God, I can see the Richard sister spinning right now.
Alex Cooper
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.
Lisa Vanderpump
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.
Alex Cooper
Should we answer?
Lisa Vanderpump
Yes, but. Oh, it's Kyle saying. I just heard that. Oh, I can't imagine.
Alex Cooper
Kyle Richards.
Lisa Vanderpump
No, it's my daughter. But don't worry.
Alex Cooper
Don't worry.
Lisa Vanderpump
Yeah, so that's my grandson.
Alex Cooper
Oh, so sweet.
Lisa Vanderpump
Every minute of every minute.
Alex Cooper
Hi, sweetie. I'm in the middle of an interview. VIVAC soon. So you don't know if it's true. Those are Andy's words, but I do.
Lisa Vanderpump
No, no, he has said it. 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. Sense of humor. And even now, I mean, I did his pot. I did his Watch what Happens Live the other night, and he was like, oh, my God. I was like, oh, you love it. Andy, stop it. You know?
Alex Cooper
Do you think you're his favorite housewife?
Lisa Vanderpump
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 were absolute. 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, on many levels and socialized with me. That's why it's like if, if anybody knew what I was up to, Lisa Vanderbilt was. I was like, oh my God, don't take me down that road. It's true. But it's true. I. I knew that he was innocent of all this.
Alex Cooper
Yeah.
Lisa Vanderpump
And also there's something very reassuring for women about a gold star gay a man. There's 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.
Alex Cooper
It's a joke.
Lisa Vanderpump
It's a straight man. You'd have to be careful, you know, Very careful. But Andy K as a straight man is never going to happen.
Alex Cooper
No, it's definitely not going to happen.
Call her.
Daddy is brought to you by Airbnb Daddy Gang. As you guys know, Matt is typically the more romantic one in our relationship. He did, you know, the amazing proposal that you guys saw. He basically planned our entire wedding. Love you, babe. And he really makes sure that we prioritize our date nights. And while I love initiat, I decided that it was time for me to step up and pull a little surprise on Matt. So I ended up planning a trip that I booked at this gorgeous ranch house. This house was the perfect place for us to unplug and reconnect with each other. We spent a ton of time in nature. I know what a concept. We went for a few hikes with Bruce and Henry. I know, what a concept. And I got to live kind of like my dreams by riding a horse. I really loved being able though, to explore new places and feeling like I actually lived there. We went to the farmer's market, took whiskey shots at the local bar, and we found cute restaurants for date nights. Booking a stay on Airbnb was perfect for this trip because we were able to actually have a lot of privacy. And we even found a house that had a jacuzzi, which, you know, was my favorite part for late nights. I definitely crush it with the surprise.
I will say you're welcome, Matt.
And I cannot wait to plan more. So watch out, Matt, I'm coming for your title, being the most romantic one. But wait, like, still clearly do cute things for me. But you know, I'm going to participate now too. Your next great trip starts with a great place to say. Whether it cabin in the woods or a modern loft, downtown Airbnb has a space for your travel story, Call Her.
Daddy is brought to you by Columbia Sportswear. So cold weather is obviously quickly approaching, and that means it's time to layer up. You already think of Columbia Sportswear for winter gear, but their new Amaze puff jacket. It is a jacket made for us girls, and it's going to be my new go to all season long. Let me tell you a little something, Daddy gang, okay? I hate when I am out running errands and you've got this, like, warm, cozy winter jacket that turns into an oven the minute you step inside. But you dressed for the jacket, right? And instead of taking off your coat and lugging it around, you're just sweating, babe. You're sweating inside of your jacket. But with a maze puff, you can just use the built in backpack straps and free up both your hands. It's super soft and incredibly cozy. And it also just looks great. There's a length and a color for whatever, literally whatever you're looking for. And it is the perfect everyday puffer. I am such a coat girl, but I also recognize I live in Los Angeles, so I need something that is functional and can kind of go with me. I want to look cute, but sometimes it is literally so warm. But it's fall, right? So I want to put on a cute little coat. Boom. Amaze Puff is my go to visit Columbia.com to get your hands on an Amaze puff jacket. It's tough on cold, soft on you.
When you're at the center of drama, because that is what comes with being on these shows. How does it impact you?
Lisa Vanderpump
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. Being very honest about this. I was very involved with. With the Trevor project and done PSAs for them. My only sibling commit 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, and there wasn't milk in there, I'd start to cry. It was. I was, like on that edge all the time. And for the first time in my life, I took some medications, some antidepressants just to try and get over that. And I. I was really, Yeah, I was not in good shape. And I said, okay, I'll do Vanderpump 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 Van and Pump 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 were like, come back to Housewives. I said, I, I just can't do it anymore. And I think about four, four or five out of the nine years that come for me, Me, you know, where they all gang up and they had 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.
Alex Cooper
When you look back, like, why do you think so many of the women came for you?
Lisa Vanderpump
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, 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.
Lisa Vanderpump
Like in the second season of Housewives. So that was a huge privilege. And then that's gone on for 12 years. So maybe suddenly I was sitting on the other side side as executive producer with maybe that, you know, stimulated certain things. I don't know. But they, they sure certainly didn't make my life easy on that show.
Alex Cooper
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.
Lisa Vanderpump
Well, I, I, I just think whenever anybody says, 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.
Alex Cooper
Yeah.
Lisa Vanderpump
So even when they came against me, they never had anything. So the audience would always kind of rally in 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 together. We never really talked about, but, you know, all these issues, people would always connect with me emotionally and.
Alex Cooper
You're funny.
Lisa Vanderpump
Yeah, you're pretty. I mean, I never think I'm funny. I just think I'm telling my side of the story.
Alex Cooper
You're just talking and then it goes, I'm just talking.
Lisa Vanderpump
I have a narrative that runs through my head all the time. Sometimes I actually think I better not say that. But very rarely, normally I just say it.
Alex Cooper
Lisa, when do you decide, like, when it's time to confront someone for drama versus when you're just like, it's not worth my time. I'm not going to address it. It.
Lisa Vanderpump
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 gonna call them out. That's my Achilles heel.
Alex Cooper
Can you give any of the girls listening advice? 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?
Lisa Vanderpump
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 sit office every day. I've been like, around the restaurant business. There's seven and a half or whatever it is, billion of people in this planet. If somebody doesn't like you, then them. 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. 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. Right. As well. You know, sometimes you feel this kind of visceral reaction that I don't really like that person. Right.
Alex Cooper
Then, you know, piss off.
Bye.
Lisa Vanderpump
Exactly. There's somebody else around the corner.
Alex Cooper
Okay, we're gonna play a game.
Lisa Vanderpump
Yes.
Alex Cooper
Never have I ever. Bravo Edition. If you've ever been in one of these scenarios, tell the story.
Lisa Vanderpump
Okay.
Alex Cooper
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 Brandy Glanville chucking one in Eileen's face. No, I haven't had a drink thrown in my face.
Alex Cooper
That's amazing. Which.
Lisa Vanderpump
Owning a bar, that's pretty cool, right? Have you had one.
Alex Cooper
Have you had one thrown in your face? I have never had one thrown in my face. Have you ever? I think it's a. Okay. It's common on Bravo. I feel like.
Lisa Vanderpump
Yes. Darcy's done it a few times.
Alex Cooper
Right. Everyone's chucking people's face.
Lisa Vanderpump
Yeah. I'm like, no, I normally drink it, run through it. Something's coming for me. I think, oh, I need to drink this. I'll swallow it whole.
Alex Cooper
You're like, oh, gotta get drunk. What, are they coming out before?
Lisa Vanderpump
Exactly.
Alex Cooper
What is the fastest way to piss you off?
Lisa Vanderpump
Lying to me. I don't like late either. Really. I mean, I know I was 10 minutes late here because I was, like, juggling with things. I've got to meet at 11:30. And I was like, yeah, you've 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.
Alex Cooper
I appreciate that. I appreciate that. Okay. Never have I ever known a castmate's partner was cheating.
Lisa Vanderpump
Yes, you have. Yeah.
Alex Cooper
In what circumstance?
Lisa Vanderpump
Well, there was somebody that's recently had this kind of complicated scenario. Yeah. In. In one of the shows. I'm not telling you. And I kind of knew. Yeah, I've known. Yeah.
Alex Cooper
And in that situation, did you say something to the person or you just let it be?
Lisa Vanderpump
No, I didn't say.
Alex Cooper
Why didn't you say anything?
Lisa Vanderpump
Because sometimes people don't want to hear it. You know what I find surprising?
Alex Cooper
Yeah.
Lisa Vanderpump
Is that they're on a reality show. It's like. And they're living their lives, and I. Of course, all marriages have problems. You know, anybody that says, oh, he's perfect. My love, my king, my This. I mean, like, off. It's like your husband. 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 gonna put the pillow over your head. You know what I mean? Like, you've got a choice. Here is this spare room pillow.
Alex Cooper
Right.
Lisa Vanderpump
Was divorced, but it's like, then suddenly they get divorced. But they've been saying, oh, love being on My King this or my that. Life's not like that. You've got two imperfect people.
Alex Cooper
Right.
Lisa Vanderpump
Living together. That it's not, you know, and that's. 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 across 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.
Alex Cooper
Right. And it's not like you're not being authentic on camera, because obviously. I also do agree with you, though, when people are like, my honey bunny, we're perfect.
Lisa Vanderpump
What the Is wrong really going on? Like, I don't believe this person. Honey bunny, get the down here.
Alex Cooper
The camera. So healthy. We have so much sex. We're so happy.
Lisa Vanderpump
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly. Let's hear the truth. Right. You know, okay. We couldn't have. We've been married a long time, and we have, you know, a lot of good moments, and he's got sense of hum. And he indulges me in 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. 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.
Alex Cooper
Right. I'm actually curious 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.
Because they know.
Lisa Vanderpump
Yeah. Sometimes I think.
Alex Cooper
Right.
Lisa Vanderpump
Also, they're not. I often think if you say too much, unless then I think that you lose both of them. You know what I mean? Right.
Alex Cooper
Like, if you get involved, it's not your place.
Lisa Vanderpump
Yeah. Especially if they get bit.
Alex Cooper
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.
Lisa Vanderpump
Exactly.
Alex Cooper
We can't see you ever.
Lisa Vanderpump
Yeah, exactly. This didn't happen, so you gotta go away.
Alex Cooper
Right. Okay. Can I. It's gotta either be Kyle or Dorit.
Lisa Vanderpump
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. It could be, but it's not.
Alex Cooper
Okay, fair. Okay, fair. Okay, fair. How did it make you feel when people were convinced that you did know about Tom and Raquel's, like, affair for so long?
Lisa Vanderpump
Oh, I didn't really even know that. Did they think that I knew?
Alex Cooper
Yeah, there was, like, a conspiracy during all of it.
Lisa Vanderpump
Oh, God. No, no, 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, Ms. 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 Ms. 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.
Alex Cooper
Is this what we call Raquel now? Ms. Malibu?
Lisa Vanderpump
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.
Alex Cooper
Yeah, you know, you're right.
Lisa Vanderpump
So I. I wouldn't have condoned that.
Alex Cooper
If my husband was in a hot tub with a woman.
Lisa Vanderpump
Yes. When you're away.
Alex Cooper
Dead.
Lisa Vanderpump
Yeah, Death. Yeah, exactly.
Alex Cooper
Get out by.
Lisa Vanderpump
Yeah. Penis. Yeah, exactly. Yes, exactly. Oops.
Alex Cooper
Fling it out of the highway.
Lisa Vanderpump
Exactly. Right. So.
Alex Cooper
Yeah, okay.
Lisa Vanderpump
And that was. And I was calling it. I wouldn't have been calling it if I'd. If I'd known. I was saying. Hold on a second. You lied. She just came in looking like a bag of. Remember? For the food tasting? Yeah, I said, what Are you doing? You look like a wreck. You're late. What's going on? And they were like, oh, no, we're good friends. And. And, you know, Ariana was saying. Saying, oh, we're good friends. Should never do that. Well, you know. Yeah. So.
Alex Cooper
But that's also when you feel a gut feeling.
Lisa Vanderpump
Yeah.
Alex Cooper
It's all.
It's usually right.
Lisa Vanderpump
Yeah. 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.
Alex Cooper
Let's get it together.
Lisa Vanderpump
Yeah. But she was so vocal about defending Raquel, but I think that's what took it to a whole different level. And then Raquel asking her about herself sex life while she was banging her husband or boyfriend.
Alex Cooper
That was one of.
Lisa Vanderpump
That was weirdest. That felt sociopathic to me. That felt like, I don't give a. About anybody's thoughts or feelings. I. It doesn't permeate, you know?
Alex Cooper
Right. If anything, I'm, like, interested to know what, like, your experience is, because I'm having it at the same time.
Lisa Vanderpump
Does he. Yeah.
Alex Cooper
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?
Lisa Vanderpump
Yeah.
Alex Cooper
That. Yeah, that was sedition.
Lisa Vanderpump
That's it. Yeah. Yeah.
Alex Cooper

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.
Alex Cooper
Like, I'm not.
Lisa Vanderpump
I don't really have a paper trail. It kind of like things go by. I remember, you know, I remember somebody like Lisa Rinner. I said, oh, God, I hardly ever speak to you on the verge. I've got receipts, 10 phone calls, and I'm like, well. Well, that's all. You're like 10 years. If I liked you, I'd have called you 10 times this morning. Yeah, exactly. So I don't know. Such nonsense.
Alex Cooper
Are you good at keeping secrets for people?
Lisa Vanderpump
Very good. Yeah. Very good.
Alex Cooper
You're like a vault. Yeah, I love that. Yeah, that's good.
Lisa Vanderpump
But it's not because I'm loyal. It's cuz I forget I'm obsessed with you.
Alex Cooper
Stop. They tell you, like, this deep, dark secret a couple months later, so.
Lisa Vanderpump
Oh, hold on a second. Was it you that sha. Oh, yes. Maybe.
Alex Cooper
Okay. Never have I ever participated in swinging.
Lisa Vanderpump
No. Oh, but my parents have. No. Yes.
Alex Cooper
Yeah.
Wait, how did you know?
Lisa Vanderpump
Well, it was the sixties. Oh, my God. My father's still alive. This doesn't kill him. This doesn't go to England, does it?
Alex Cooper
This is what ends it all. Stop. How did you know your parents were swinging?
Lisa Vanderpump
I remember them talking about the 60s. You know, they were newly married and everybody was kind of doing that a bit. You know, they didn't give me details. 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 Hamm, 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 Ham. And they went, well, you know, about John.
Alex Cooper
We. I don't know about John Hamilton. Oh, does he have a big penis?
Lisa Vanderpump
No, no, but they would talk about it. There's many. I mean, it should have its own Instagram. Apparently. I said that. But I mean, there were these pictures of saying, oh, really? Yeah. No, but it was covered. It was decent. But it was.
Alex Cooper
But it was big.
Lisa Vanderpump
But yeah, but we were laughing. Yeah.
Alex Cooper
Oh, and you're like, oh, Ken, should we swing to the left over here with John o'? Hare?
Lisa Vanderpump
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 some swinging.
Alex Cooper
Has anyone ever approached you to swing?
Lisa Vanderpump
I think I might have had hints. Oh, 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. Being so young.
Alex Cooper
You couldn't see him with another woman?
Lisa Vanderpump
No, I don't really want to.
Alex Cooper
You'd, like, be with the.
Lisa Vanderpump
I could have somebody. I don't think that would be quite what he was envisaging. Like, oh, see that really handsome 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 up my shoulder.
Lisa Vanderpump
Exactly. I'll be like, oh, my God. 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.
Alex Cooper
I'm obsessed.
Lisa Vanderpump
No, I haven't the answer. Never have I ever.
Alex Cooper
Never have ever.
Lisa Vanderpump
I'm probably at this stage not going to. That's kind of sad.
Alex Cooper
It's okay. But, you know.
Lisa Vanderpump
Well, mind you, I put it out there now. Maybe I'll get lots of opportunities.
Alex Cooper
Oh, I bet there's going to be so many people now. So many people.
Lisa Vanderpump
Oh, I'll pass. I'd rather have a cup of tea.
Alex Cooper
Okay.
Okay.
Never have I ever married as long.
Lisa Vanderpump
As I have, like, how many? Let's think so, 42 years. So that's going to 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 are things I haven't done that I haven't wanted to do.
Alex Cooper
Have you ever, like, are you.
Lisa Vanderpump
No.
Alex Cooper
No. I'm like, do you want me to ask you a couple sexual questions?
Lisa Vanderpump
No, not really.
Alex Cooper
Okay. Never have I ever shared a secret with a cast mate. And then they went and shared it on camera.
Lisa Vanderpump
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 Erica, 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 like, you know. And Kyle turned around and said, yeah, but that was supposed to be between us.
Alex Cooper
No, no.
Lisa Vanderpump
Yes. And I thought, oh, my God. Yeah.
Alex Cooper
No, but that feels like a theme in reality tv.
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.
Lisa Vanderpump
I don't like that. I think it's. Just keep it straight. Right. 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.
Alex Cooper
Right.
Lisa Vanderpump
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 tonight. I have to speak from experience. You know what I mean? Yeah. I remember things concisely, you know? Absolutely. When I experience, if I'm making it up, I don't remember what I made up. I, I.
Alex Cooper
That's a good point.
Lisa Vanderpump
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?
Lisa Vanderpump
I think the most popular reality stars are people that are truly authentic and don't give a. 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. And he's seen so much growth, so entertaining.
Alex Cooper
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?
Lisa Vanderpump
No, I think it's not about that.
Alex Cooper
Yeah, it's not, it's not about the pasta. That was one of the funniest scenes, I think.
Lisa Vanderpump
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 because.
Alex Cooper
Yeah.
Lisa Vanderpump
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 do they ever get there, those two? I. It doesn't mean.
Alex Cooper
It doesn't make sense to me either. I feel like she's such a woman either. You can't text.
Lisa Vanderpump
I'm not, I'm looking because my meeting's at 11:30.
Alex Cooper
It's 10:50.
Lisa Vanderpump
Yeah.
Alex Cooper
You have time.
Lisa Vanderpump
10:51.
Alex Cooper
I know. Oh, my God. I actually can't picture Lala and him having sex either, because I feel like.
Lisa Vanderpump
The cup of tea that they offered me when I first came in was so nice. Said, no, were we supposed to get you tea?
Alex Cooper
Oh.
Lisa Vanderpump
They said, would you like anything? I said, oh, cup of tea, be great. Never happened.
Alex Cooper
Can someone text Charlie for a cup of tea?
Lisa Vanderpump
Yeah.
Alex Cooper
How much tea do you drink during the day?
Lisa Vanderpump
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?
Lisa Vanderpump
What, with alcohol?
Alex Cooper
Yeah.
Lisa Vanderpump
No, that was quite. Is that a good idea? No, I don't think. I don't drink in the day. Very rarely. You never see me drink.
Alex Cooper
I think you can spike your tea a couple times and see where it takes you. Lisa.
Lisa Vanderpump
Well, yeah, I got here without it, really. I probably don't need it.
Alex Cooper
Do you think you'll ever be friends with any of the women again from Housewives?
Lisa Vanderpump
Let me think about that for a moment. No. No. 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.
Alex Cooper
Are you someone that holds grudges?
Lisa Vanderpump
Yeah, I do. Off, I'm like, yeah, I'm gonna hold a crush. I mean, I won't hold a grudge till it's like. If it's detrimental, I love you. To me, if it's like, you know, if it's eating away at you and you're angry about it, then. 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, that's not healthy, I'd rather get rid 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. I need to sort this out. So I would always say that as advice. If it's eating away, 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.
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 for me twice price, but. Or, shame on. Shame on you. Shame on me. You know, that's so. No, that. Now, that's a grudge. Yeah. I'm all about that.
Alex Cooper
We're all about, like.
Lisa Vanderpump
I'm not gonna be. Yeah, I'm not gonna 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?
Alex Cooper
Period, Right? Okay, let's talk about Vanderpump rules.
Lisa Vanderpump
Your mistakes, my girl.
Alex Cooper
Okay. The original cast were employed at your restaurant.
Lisa Vanderpump
Yes.
Alex Cooper
And you were their boss.
Lisa Vanderpump
Yes.
Alex Cooper
What is the most insane thing you've had to fire someone for?
Lisa Vanderpump
Oh, all kinds of things over the years. Running restaurants. 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 made maybe a thousand people come through that door every night. At some point, you're gonna go, what the.
Alex Cooper
How often are they having sex?
Lisa Vanderpump
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. 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.
Alex Cooper
I mean, stealing a mirror and wine.
Lisa Vanderpump
Yeah. Yeah, many.
Alex Cooper
That's insane.
Lisa Vanderpump
Yeah, many different things.
Alex Cooper
Okay. I didn't realize that sir stands for sexy Unique Restaurant.
Lisa Vanderpump
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 tenth of the size to get my visa. Because I was in the restaurant business, we wanted to stay here, so we thought. Thank God. Yeah.
Alex Cooper
Okay. What is your most sexy and unique quality, Lisa?
Lisa Vanderpump
I'm very tactile. I mean, you saw the way I make up 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 where I'm with my dog. You see the way I am? I'm like, A perfect 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 me to 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.
Alex Cooper
Oh, Lisa.
Lisa Vanderpump
Right?
Alex Cooper
That was a good answer.
Lisa Vanderpump
That's sexy, isn't it? If you're thinking, oh, my God, who is this? Yeah, that's.
Alex Cooper
I'm just trying to picture it. I'm like, oh, my God, it's so sexual. Okay, that's a good answer. Okay. If you had to pick which Vanderpump Rules cast member, were you most, like, in your 20s? Any cast member from all seasons?
Lisa Vanderpump
I think I'm quite a lot like Stasi in a way. I'm not chucking people. Chucking drinks in people's faces, but I was always kind of out for. Stacy sees the funny side. Stacy, you know, it was such a. 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. I agreed on. 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.
Lisa Vanderpump
I think that's the whole point of growth, you know? And as I say in this new show, Gordon Ramsay show, seeing people, how they developed. Oh, my God. God. How I saw the growth in the show of people, like, they came in like this, and they left like this. So that's, to me, one of the most exciting things. And. And I think stars is taking it and run with it, which I. I think was great.
Alex Cooper
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.
Lisa Vanderpump
I don't give a. And I'm gonna say exactly what I want to say.
Alex Cooper
That makes for the best tv. Like you said, James Kennedy. Yeah.
Lisa Vanderpump
No apologies. Yeah.
Alex Cooper
That group over the years has been, like, kind of, like a little incestuous. Like, everyone's kind of getting.
Lisa Vanderpump
They've all shacked each other. Oh, my God. A little. That's a lot. But according to you, please define any greater incest than I have shown you in that group, please.
Alex Cooper
I was trying to be, like, okay, just, like, calm about it.
Lisa Vanderpump
Try and be anything. Just sell it out.
Alex Cooper
What is your stance on like that concept of like homie hopping of like everyone kind of like getting with each other's friends and getting with each other's boyfriends and girlfriends.
Lisa Vanderpump
Well, I mean, there's only a few dynamics left to like. It's all got done right.
Alex Cooper
Who would we need to hook up? La Line Schwartz. Do you think it would ever happen?
Lisa Vanderpump
I wouldn't mind that. Actually. I wouldn't mind that.
Alex Cooper
You wouldn't?
Lisa Vanderpump
I mean, Schwartz is very kind.
Alex Cooper
He's kind, but like, he can't stand up for it.
Lisa Vanderpump
I know.
Alex Cooper
And Laa needs someone to be like, yeah, I agree with you. I back you. He can't even like back his himself.
Lisa Vanderpump
Yeah, but maybe you could just carry the baby around and say yes and cuddle and stuff. I've always found him adorable. I know. He got it totally wrong.
Alex Cooper
I love Foreign.

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?
Lisa Vanderpump
Well, I think it was just because the juxtaposition of her living with him and then saying, no, I. 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. I don't want to see him ever again. He'll be forced to falls off the side of a cliff. But, you know, it was. It was all very, you know, I. 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. 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 is against you, sometimes it's a very dangerous thing. For, as I saw with my brother and you feel there's no way out at that time and the over here, 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. Authentic, I don't give a. 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 Sandoval has a lot of good, good component.
Alex Cooper
Do you. He has a girlfriend now, right?
Lisa Vanderpump
Yes.
Alex Cooper
How can. Do you think he's gonna cheat on her?
Lisa Vanderpump
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. Because I think he said that. I, I just don't think he's that kind of guy. You know, where there's a lot of guy that's jag anything, right? Like, I don't think he's like that, but I think this girl apparently is gorgeous.
Alex Cooper
Oh, no.
Lisa Vanderpump
I thought the tea was coming.
Alex Cooper
Is it coming?
Lisa Vanderpump
So is Chris.
Alex Cooper
They're working on. I think they probably didn't know, like, if we. They were allowed to interrupt because sometimes I'm like, lock the door, don't come in.
Lisa Vanderpump
Oh, really?
Alex Cooper
Oh, yeah. I'm like, get out of my studio.
Lisa Vanderpump
Okay, let's talk about you being what kind of. I'll see you.
Alex Cooper
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 door.
Lisa Vanderpump
Probably not going to happen.
Alex Cooper
I feel like the. It kind of ended this season and it was like, the friend group is a disaster.
Lisa Vanderpump
We've been in that. That place before, but do you think.
Alex Cooper
It'S going to continue? Like.
Lisa Vanderpump
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. 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.
Alex Cooper
I have a pitch for you.
Lisa Vanderpump
Go on them. I say no, but because. Yeah, I think I'm so busy, but.
Alex Cooper
I think that the next season of Vanderpump.
Lisa Vanderpump
Yes.
Alex Cooper
Should be you getting everyone in a room.
Lisa Vanderpump
Yes.
Alex Cooper
And firing all swinging.
Lisa Vanderpump
Oh, no.
Alex Cooper
Swinging. You're like, lala, get over here. Katie, get over here. And you fire all of them.
Lisa Vanderpump
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, talent. And these kids, like, have no Instagram following yet. And you start fresh. Like, I would die to watch kids back in at SIR like, trying to make it in the acting or modeling agency and, like, get back at it.
Lisa Vanderpump
And I have many of them. But I do have three shows on the air.
Alex Cooper
I know, I know. But I live in la, so I'm, like, addicted to the la. But I know, I know.
Lisa Vanderpump
You know what? From your mouth to God's ears. That might be a thought.
Alex Cooper
Can you imagine the season? Here's your tea. What is this?
Lisa Vanderpump
Oh, my God.
Alex Cooper
We don't have any.
Do you want black tea with milk, green tea or herbal tea?
Lisa Vanderpump
Black tea with milk. I like your dungarees. I said that when I came in. I like your dungarees.
Alex Cooper
Dungarees?
Lisa Vanderpump
Yeah. What do you. Oh, what do you call overalls?
Alex Cooper
Overalls?
Lisa Vanderpump
No, they're dungarees. Yeah.
Alex Cooper
Which one? Black tea and milk.
Lisa Vanderpump
Try it.
Alex Cooper
Try them all.
Lisa Vanderpump
I'm worried about it.
Alex Cooper
I'm worried about it, too.
Lisa Vanderpump
You know, I never understand. What? Why people leave the tea bag in it. What do they say? Expect us to chew on it.
Alex Cooper
My assistant's going to start crying.
Lisa Vanderpump
Chew on it.
Alex Cooper
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
Oh, it's. Yeah. I mean, I like the color of the cup. It's pink.
Alex Cooper
It's cute.
Lisa Vanderpump
Yeah. But the te's a disaster.
Alex Cooper
Awful. Oh, it's. You wanted it black.
Lisa Vanderpump
No, I wanted it, like, lighter, like the color of the wood.
Alex Cooper
It's a disaster.
Lisa Vanderpump
But I'll say it's really nice. Oh, I love this tea. Said no one ever.
Alex Cooper
No. My assistant's crying in the corner now.
Lisa Vanderpump
It's better now. I loved her dungarees.
Alex Cooper
I told her we say overalls in with overalls. Overall.
Lisa Vanderpump
I love her overalls.
Alex Cooper
Oh, my God.
Lisa Vanderpump
You like it?
Alex Cooper
Wait.
Lisa Vanderpump
Say. Shall I speak with American accent all the time?
Alex Cooper
Yes.
Lisa Vanderpump
You like that?
Alex Cooper
Say cheeseburger.
Lisa Vanderpump
Cheeseburger. Oh, this really works for me.
Alex Cooper
Donut I love call her Daddy.
Lisa Vanderpump
Donut I love call her Daddy. Or do you like it like this? Donut I love call her daddy.
Alex Cooper
So do you like my pitch?
Lisa Vanderpump
I can't say.
Alex Cooper
But you like it?
Lisa Vanderpump
It's not necessarily your pitch. Somebody might have got there before you.
Alex Cooper
Okay, but like the drama of everyone getting fired.
Lisa Vanderpump
Oh, I. I'm not going to start opening. I. I have a loyalty to these people.
Alex Cooper
But you wouldn't actually. Welcome back.
Lisa Vanderpump
I've signed you back just for one episode.
Alex Cooper
Bye.
Lisa Vanderpump
No, there are still stories to tell.
Alex Cooper
Oh, Lisa.
Lisa Vanderpump
Yes.
Alex Cooper
Okay. What projects? Obviously, the season is wrapped, so talk to me about your. Your other projects.
Lisa Vanderpump
Gordon Ramsay. That was epic 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.
Alex Cooper
Did you put him in his place?
Lisa Vanderpump
Well, yeah, I kind of enjoyed doing that a little bit.
Alex Cooper
Oh, you got a little excited?
Lisa Vanderpump
Not a little bit.
Alex Cooper
A lot.
Lisa Vanderpump
A lot.
Alex Cooper
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.
Alex Cooper
My.
Lisa Vanderpump
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, and 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 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. Yeah, well, not always, but I mean, when you first started. 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. 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.
Alex Cooper
What do you think is the biggest misconception about you?
Lisa Vanderpump
That I'm a high maintenance. I don't mind people thinking that. I just feel like, 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 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.
Lisa Vanderpump
Yes.
Alex Cooper
Lisa Vanderpump.
Lisa Vanderpump
Yes.
Alex Cooper
What is your favorite sex position?
Lisa Vanderpump
Oh, God, it's so long ago. I don't remember. I think it's on my back asleep.
Alex Cooper
Lisa.
Lisa Vanderpump
And on that note, good night, Lisa.
Alex Cooper
Thank you so much for coming on. This was so fun.
Lisa Vanderpump
Thank you. I thought that would have been your first question. That's what I was prepared for. I actually said, brav. Are they gonna be talking about, like, sex all the time? So it's gonna be a very short interview if they do.
Alex Cooper
Oh, man. I mean, I could ask you if you have any blowjob tips.
Lisa Vanderpump
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.
Lisa Vanderpump
Of course. Thank you.
Alex Cooper
You're hilarious. Oh, my God.
Lisa Vanderpump
No, thank you so much. So much.
Alex Cooper
You finally got your tea.
Lisa Vanderpump
Yes. And it ain't that good. It's better than nothing.
