Well, Bri, I have to say it has been so crazy lately, so chaotic just being back at WWE and all the non stop travel and appearances and I love it all so much. It's just so wild to be right back into it.
Brie Bella
Oh, I bet. Well, you know, I have been busy with the kids and this summer because we're in the mountains, I feel like I've been doing a lot of driving, going back and forth to the tasting room, dealing with the chickens, all my garden beds and chickens. Those chickens. And kicking off my new series. Hi, my name is Bri. So. So we've both been definitely busy, but in our own ways.
Nikki Bella
Yeah. And you know, I really want to dive into it because we did have such a crazy past week, even 10 days, both individually and together as moms, as superstars, as gardeners, as YouTube personalities. But you know, before we get started, Bri, I we both want to give such a big shout out to Xfinity Mobile for Sponsoring today's episode.

Brie Bella
Oh, yeah. And I mean, I have been in full blown mom mode the last few weeks. I mean, I'm hardly home, going back and forth between the kids and work, and when I say work, those chickens and that tasting room. But even with all the chaos in both our lives, I feel like we're constantly in touch.

Brie Bella
Hey, Nikki. So you. You finally back home?
Nikki Bella
I am finally back home. And it feels so amazing. It's like there's nothing like sleeping in your own bed, right?
Brie Bella
Oh, my gosh. Sleeping in your own bed, showering your own coffee, doing, like, showering in your own shower. The whole thing. It's the greatest feeling.
Nikki Bella
It is. And then having your little ones by you. Like just being back in the bed with Mateo and waking up with him and the snuggles and the love and the playtime, all of it. Oh, I know I missed it all.
Brie Bella
I mean, I came back home to the mountains, which, you know, we stay all summer, and I mean, it feels like home up here. But even though I was like, run down yesterday, I still, I was like, you know, I haven't seen the kids forever, so I took a miniature golfing. I took him to go get ice cream. But I will admit, I woke up this morning. I actually felt it through the night. I woke up, but I have a really bad sore throat. And I could hear, oh, my God, my sinus area. I literally, in the middle of the night, I went, and I was like, oh, no. And you want to not want to know what else to call? Hold on. I got a cough. And the cough hurts my throat so bad. But I like to think, you know what, when you get this sick after a trip, it means you had a Lot of fun, right? A lot of fun.
Nikki Bella
Well, you know me. I was like run down that whole trip. I mean, you were there. I, you know, I first get the injury. We will call it even though it's the boobergy. The. The boober G. And because I couldn't fully like sneeze or cough. Still can't any of that. It just. I'm still congested. I am so congested. The good thing is, is that's all I am. I think it's just because I'm partially was run down already week two. But yeah, I. I've just full on still congested.
Brie Bella
Yeah.
Nikki Bella
Which is fine.
Brie Bella
Well.
Nikki Bella
And I came home. We both sound so nasally.
Brie Bella
So nasally. And you know, Brian's really sick. I mean, he's still sleeping. He is like, wow. Yeah, he's feeling awful. We actually slept in different rooms last night because the kids really wanted to sleep with me. And then he was just feeling so bad and then started to get a fever. Oh my gosh.
Nikki Bella
You guys are really sick.
Brie Bella
I know. Crazy now. I was not.
Nikki Bella
Thank God my house is not that.
Brie Bella
Yeah. Like right after New York, I did go to San Francisco to watch the Lumineers, which we'll get into later.
Nikki Bella
Cannot wait to hear all that.
Brie Bella
Oh my gosh. So I just, I overdid it. But we had a crazy week, which SummerSlam always is, I feel like. And New York. SummerSlam New York. It's like all you do is you just go, go, go.
Nikki Bella
Right? But a crazy, but such a grateful week.
Brie Bella
Oh my gosh. Yeah.
Nikki Bella
Right.
Brie Bella
So much fun. I mean, I. You started before me.
Nikki Bella
I started before you. I started in Detroit.
Brie Bella
That's right.
Nikki Bella
I went. I did Monday night Raw in Detroit. That's where we had the badass six woman tag. No, no, no. Eight woman tag. Yeah, eight woman tag. So the badass a woman tag. And then think I went straight. I went from Detroit. I went and checked into my hotel, our hotel over at Central Park. Then from there, this was all on Tuesday. How to take a car service to Connecticut. I filmed the Maybelline commercial till the evening, then came back and then it was just city Jersey every day, non stop appearances, something. SummerSlam fun New York. Whatever.
Brie Bella
I mean, we did it. That's for sure.
Nikki Bella
We did it.
Brie Bella
Well, you know, I think it was really fun for me because I feel like I haven't been around the Bella army in a long time. And it was really fun to see them at the tailgate at SummerSlam. You know the tailgate. I was very interested how are we going to do a live podcast out of the tailgate? Because speaking to someone who's tailgated before, I know it gets very chaotic. And my last tailgate was at the NFC championship for the Philadelphia Eagles, and that was crazy. So I was like, this will be interesting. Like, you know, like, I know it's going to be loud and noisy and wild, but I feel like it was so much fun.
Nikki Bella
It was a lot of fun. I. It did totally give you those pre football vibes, but I feel like that is, like, how it is now. But just the chance, the energy. We were. Even though it was still warm, but we were still lucky with weather. It ended up being a gorgeous Saturday in New Jersey. It was so much fun to have Maxine on and then have Dolores. Like, I love the fact that she came out for that because she's a New Jersey queen. Right. That was a lot of fun. And just to interact with the fans, it's like you and I are just such. What would you call. I'm trying to think of the word. But, like, we love athletics. Like, we were born and raised tomboys. We love being in the athletic sports environment. And that's, like, what it felt like. That tailgate was just, like, it brought me back to, like, when we go the Charger Raider games in tailgate before and all that fun with the fans and everyone has their favorite, and everyone's rooting for someone for sure. The debates and the. The energy. Yeah, well.
Brie Bella
And, you know, I never thought I was someone who had add, but I will admit, when I was doing the live podcast, I couldn't. Like, I kept getting distracted because I'd see a really great outfit or someone yelled something and I'm nosy, and I wanted to hear, like, you know what I mean? Did you feel the same? Like, when we were Even doing the DraftKings interviews, I just felt like people are probably like, does she. Is she paying attention? But. But I was so distracted the whole time.
Nikki Bella
I didn't.
Brie Bella
You didn't.
Nikki Bella
I didn't feel that way with you at all. And I would tell you I am, but it is like you and I are just people watchers, so it was just fun to see all the cool outfits, all the things. So. Yeah, but I didn't. I didn't feel that way with you at all. But I mean, I definitely just. I. I was in it. Yeah, I was. I was in it. Well, you have to think, too, Bri, right before I met you, what people don't realize is I filmed that Papa John SummerSlam spot, you guys. I literally. They had to rush me from inside the stadium to go live with Bri. By the time I got on my. In my seat, we had two minutes till we were live on the radio.
Brie Bella
Well, I was sitting in the van waiting for you, and I'm like, scott, can I just go sit in the seat and at least if, like, Nicole doesn't make it, I can start the show? So I was getting anxiety because I'm sitting waiting for you, and I'm like, and you. And I didn't get to talk at all. No, but I was just like.
Nikki Bella
But it was amazing.
Brie Bella
It was amazing. I mean, we were like, literally.
Nikki Bella
But I.
Brie Bella
Seconds go down.
Nikki Bella
Well, when we were going over it, I. They finally were like, you guys, Nikki has to leave, so this has to be one take. By the time we are able to start filming, we. We could only take one take because it was like, hey, I'm about to go live on the radio for Sirius xm. I have to go. Um, which turned out to be so cute. And sometimes the one takes are the best for sure. When you have that. That adrenaline rush and that energy of, like, all right, this is it. This is all we have.
Brie Bella
I agree.
Nikki Bella
Um, so it was great, but yet that's. But that's how Bri I felt my whole week was. Was from one thing to the next with no time in between and dealing with, you know, this bruising and. And this, you know, whatever. I get an MRI tomorrow, so to know exactly what's going on, but to deal with that feeling run down, and everything was just boom, boom, boom. I was like, whoa, I'm getting no time to take a breath.
Brie Bella
Yeah. Claire. So Claire, who, you know, she does our photography and some of our social videos. She was like, I think they, like, book every minute of your sister's day. I'm like, I know. Yeah. She's like, I feel like she doesn't have a minute to spare. I'm like, this is how it is when you're back in it. Like, when we.
Nikki Bella
When. Because. So Claire, you guys was with. Started with me in Connecticut on Tuesday. So Claire was with me all week. But then Emily and Zach were getting married, which. Yay. To Emily and Zach.
Brie Bella
I know.
Nikki Bella
They run our tasting room, and everyone knows them.
Brie Bella
They're.
Nikki Bella
They just got married this past weekend in Lake Tahoe. They're on their honeymoon right now. That's why Bonita, Bonita. We've have had the doors closed for the past two weekends. So Claire had to leave. She was. You all saw she was with me at the Fanatics appearance.
Brie Bella
When we got to see the Bell.
Nikki Bella
Army, she was with me there. Had to go straight to the New Jersey airport. She took a flight to Reno, shot Emily and Zach all day in Lake Tahoe, Got back on a flight Sunday morning to come back to make it for our Bonita Bonita event and Monday night Raw with me. And so she and I, we went to the airport together early Tuesday morning. And I was like. I felt bad because when I had to tell her, I go, claire, so we need to meet at 3:45am oh, my gosh. In the lobby. And she was like, how do you do this? I'm like, I got to go home and be a mom. I always take the first flight out because less chance of delays. I got to get home to baby boy. So when we were driving over together, and then when we got through security and we had, like, a little second to eat, she goes, I am so beyond drained. She's like, how do you do this? And we were just talking about the week because she was like, how did you do all that? And then what people don't realize is, like, how much pain I was in the whole time. I mean, Bri, you saw I was on heating pads. I had patches on, like, anytime in between in my room. But yeah, Claire was definitely like. I go, claire, are you gonna sleep the next week? And she's like, yeah, yeah.
Brie Bella
Like, well, and you also gotta find time to work out. Maybe if you need a little tan. You never know. There's other little things are in that mix. But, you know, before we get into SummerSlam and how incredible our suite was and how many margaritas I drank, we have some fan questions that I want to ask you that are really fun. We pulled them off social media. This first one I'm actually very excited to hear your thoughts on. So you know that photo that went viral with you and the fan from.
Nikki Bella
Fanatics, where it looks like I'm getting pounded from behind?
Brie Bella
So that even appropriate to say the gentleman you took the photo with is Brian Lema? Yeah, but I. I. So I didn't even get to talk to you yet about it, but I remember I was, like, scrolling. I don't know. I was taking my time drinking my, like, strawberry matcha latte, and I'm like, what the. I'm like, didn't Nikki let someone, like, just hold her? That type from behind?
Nikki Bella
Okay, well, I do feel like from now on, there's gonna have to be a no prom pose rule.
Brie Bella
I agree. I agree.
Nikki Bella
After this photo. But I will say he had an incredible story. He asked very politely about doing a prom photo. I've done it a bunch, you guys. I didn't feel anything. It wasn't like. It never felt inappropriate. It didn't feel like what the photo looks like.
Brie Bella
Yeah. So you just did a pelvic thrust right when they said, 3, 2, 1.
Nikki Bella
I think that was his posture, but maybe. I think. I feel like it was his posture. And those pants of mine were kind of baggy. They kind of stuck out. So, you know, sometimes photos get distorted.
Brie Bella
Okay.
Nikki Bella
I honestly feel like that's what. Because I. I would be honest, and I would literally go straight to my rep, like, hey, that was really inappropriate. Like, I felt stuff. I didn't have that at all, so. And he was actually. I mean, unless I'm getting played. But he had a very, very sweet story. He's watched esprit from day one. He was very sweet. So. Okay, I won't even comment on it.
Brie Bella
All right.
Nikki Bella
I know, because I saw, like, the page where it had, like, I think, what? Like a thousand comments, and I'm like, oh, my gosh, I'm not even gonna get involved.
Brie Bella
I, like, read so many of them.
Nikki Bella
But I will admit, when I saw the photo, I had to, like, go back and be like, did I, like, did I ever feel like. Like I was treated inappropriately?
Brie Bella
No.
Nikki Bella
Did I feel anything? And. But I would have spoken. That photo looks is more, like, kind of distorted than it actually was. And that can kind of happen, you know?
Brie Bella
Well, now you know why some people make rules. Because things go viral for no reasons.
Nikki Bella
Right. And I feel like now after that, lesson learned, because I do prom photos a lot with people. I'm just. Now that's going to be a no. It's going to be a no. Yeah.
Brie Bella
Okay, so I have another question. Oh, this is from jada in Philadelphia. Nikki and Bri. The live stream tailgate at SummerSlam was so fun. Will you be doing more live shows like that? P. S? I think brie mode won the chant game. Lol. I agree with you.
Nikki Bella
It was loud.
Brie Bella
It was loud. People like Channing Bree mode.
Nikki Bella
They do. I love the live show. I think. You know what's really fun is because you have busted open. And now we have this incredible series, the Wrestling 24 7. What is it? Yeah. Wrestling Nation 24 7. I think it's really fun to have the feminine touch to hear from the women. And then our WWE female superstars come on, really excited to be with you and I. And then you and I, because we are also mainstream, we bring in people like Dolores, people that we know are really big in these areas. Like, I'm working on right now to have a really special guest with me for Philly Raw. But what's cool is, like, the fans had so much fun with it.
Brie Bella
We.
Nikki Bella
We have fun with it. We're big fans ourselves of wrestling. So I think it's really cool when you bring in the feminine touch and we're like the good warm up before busted open comes on too. You know what I mean?
Brie Bella
We're the good opening act. I also feel like we thrive life. I don't know what it is like you and I sometimes I'm like, we should have been like the Leo signs because, like the minute someone cheers or gives us a good reaction, we get like, real worked up.
Nikki Bella
Yeah.
Brie Bella
So we definitely like Thrive Live. So, yes, Jada, for sure we're going to be doing. Yeah.
Nikki Bella
Well, because remind me, we'll bring that back around when we talk about Monday night Raw. I don't want to get us out of, you know, where we always tend to get all over the place, but remind me to talk about the thrive on live from Monday night.
Brie Bella
Okay, last question and then we're going to talk about how much fun we had in the suite. Nikki, I love the red lip you wore at SummerSlam. I need it for my wedding. Can you tell me the brand and shade from Amber?
Nikki Bella
Ooh, Amber was. It was Maybelline, but I can't remember the shade.
Brie Bella
Is it.
Nikki Bella
I'll find out.
Brie Bella
She'll hit you back.
Nikki Bella
Amber. I always tend. So when they. When the makeup artist. When they ask me, especially because there's so many different shades of red.
Brie Bella
Yeah.
Nikki Bella
Of what I prefer, I go towards the blues over the oranges. For red, I love. Is it the cooler. That'd be called the cooler reds and the warmer or what is that? I just always ask when they're more the blue tones and the orange tones. I prefer that.
Brie Bella
And I like when, like if I see apple in the description that usually gets me because it's a bright red, which always. It's a bright, like I feel like looks pretty on my. The coloring of my face.
Nikki Bella
Well, the one that I used to wear forever and I still will wear. Is that nars? It's a pencil, though. It's like.
Brie Bella
Oh, yeah, I know which one.
Nikki Bella
The dragon one.
Brie Bella
Gwen Stefani also has a good red that you and I like.
Nikki Bella
And Gwen Stefani is a good one. But I was wearing Maybelline the whole week.
Brie Bella
Yeah.
Nikki Bella
So being a new partner with them, we. The girl that did my makeup for Saturday was the one who did my makeup for the Maybelline commercial. And so she had my red from the commercial.
Brie Bella
Oh, amazing.
Nikki Bella
And that's what we threw on. Yeah, I'll find out what shade.
Brie Bella
Oh, that's great. Well, I have to say, you know, it was so much fun being in the suite for SummerSlam. I don't know the last time I really got a watch like that as a fan, if ever. I know it was so much fun, like, to be able to eat, make myself a drink, sit, and just like watch and have fun. Like, it was so incredible.
Nikki Bella
This is the one thing about wwe. Like, if you love sporting events, which you and I do, okay, we also are wrestling fans, but let's just take that part out. We love to watch sports. We're not die hard hockey fans, but you and I love to go to a hockey game. We're obviously die hard football fans, but even when we go basketball, I'm not a die hard basketball fan. I was when I was young, but like, I still love to go to a game and I enjoy it.
Brie Bella
Oh, yeah.
Nikki Bella
WWE is exactly the same. You do not have to be a fan to enjoy it. And if anything, it's almost more fun because the wrestlers are characters and you get a boon, you get a cheer, and you get surprises. It's not like we're following the rules of, like, what the game is. There are no rules. We people are making up their own rules and then there's all the stipulations. So for us, it's just a whole other level of like having fun in a sporting event. But I agree with you, Bri. Like, I did not want that. I didn't want it to end. I want. I want more matches. I was like, having so much fun. And the ending of Saturday night too, when we all so punk one. We were happy. And as we're all heading back up in the suite and when Rollin's music hit like that feeling even for us, it was incredible. Everyone around us, yeah, we all run back down and everyone's like, oh, that was like so fun to be a part of in the crowd because I was just like, oh my gosh. And USO's entrance, because it happened to be right by your suite. How amazing.
Brie Bella
That was so good.
Nikki Bella
That was cool. So, yeah, I was super excited. But I agree with you. And just one. We had the best bartender ever.
Brie Bella
He was I still so good. And how I know.
Nikki Bella
I was so sad. He didn't have Venmo. He only had Zell and I don't have Zell. But I mean, obviously DraftKings took care of him like no other. But you guys, he was this sweet old man and he happened to be the best bartender ever. He was making us the best margaritas. And can we just talk about how cool it was to see Bonita Bonita there?
Brie Bella
I mean, was that not like a dream? Yeah, it kind of feels like full circle, you know, because I agree. It's when you see those, like two of your worlds collide together, two industries you worked really hard at, and you see them together, there's something really special about that.
Nikki Bella
I know you just kind of feel accomplished and you take that second of being like, no, this is like the 20 years I worked really hard for. Like, is to have these kind of accomplishments. To sit here and be. Yes. A 41 and a half year old woman and to see, you know, a division you helped get to be a part of and building. And then to see your wine and to hang out with the either women like Maxine, who looked up to you and are there because of you, or to be with Natty, who we started with and got to enjoy those moments with as well. Right. Just. You're right. So full circle. I think that's what made us have even more fun. And we didn't even realize in that suite because there was a lot of full circle moments for us. Wouldn't you agree?
Brie Bella
Oh, for sure. Definitely. And just like good energy from everyone in there. Like, everyone was excited, everyone was having fun. And that ad, so much.
Nikki Bella
Yes. And so how did it make you feel? Because, you know, there's been so much talk and I know you've already talked about this on your solo episode. How did it feel being there live at a WWE event?
Brie Bella
I loved it. I had so much fun. You know, this is the thing, is that I'm very much in a place in my life. Like, I don't know, like, I'm having fun. I couldn't be more content where I'm at. So, like, I'm not bitter, I'm not upset. There's nothing like that. It's actually loved watching it. As a fan, I had so much fun. And like, granted, like, any wrestler who shows up and watches a live event, you yearn for it, you miss it, but it's great to have that feeling. So, yeah, I walked away, like being like, oh, that was awesome. I'm like, literally, I'm gonna be like, DraftKings, let's do another let's do every.
Nikki Bella
Pay per view, please, at every. Oh, my gosh. I would. I would do every. Obviously, every live ple. Like, sure. To come up with a cute outfit to just have fun and watch. To do a live show before interact with the fans. I mean, that is life. That is fun.
Brie Bella
That is so fun.
Nikki Bella
And to experience, you know, whatever city it's in.
Brie Bella
Exactly. Oh, my gosh.
Nikki Bella
Yeah, it's really cool. Well, you know, Bri, I am. What was really fun is so Bri and I shared a room all week, of course, obviously.
Brie Bella
Obviously.
Nikki Bella
But was really cool is like, I loved seeing you prep for your hi, my name is Bri show, because. And I know. Let's dive into that because you did some filming in New York City and you had an incredible special guest, but I just want to say, like, because obviously, I know you better than anyone, and I know you so well. Like, I feel your excitement with this series, and I feel your love and your passion. Like, in my head, I was like, oh, shoot, this is, like, this is something big right here. Like, because not only is it doing incredible on the YouTube channel. So thank you for that, because your success is also my success. And so you are helping revamp that YouTube channel that we've been wanting to do. But it's also made me really proud of you and also be like, she's found her thing right now in this era of her life. Like, I. I felt your excitement even when you were prepping. I saw the care and the passion for it, and you talking about future episodes and things you wanted to do. And then it was fun to hear you say, like, oh, my gosh, this person just DM me. And they're like. Like, people that you're touching, people that you never thought you would.
Brie Bella
For sure.
Nikki Bella
Your reach is, like, going beyond the Bella army, beyond the WWE Universe, beyond total Bellas, beyond E. And I was, like, sitting there, I just wanted to tell you that I was like, damn. And I'm really proud of you.
Brie Bella
Well, thank you.
Nikki Bella
And it's fun to see. And I want to dive into about who you shot with at Central Park.
Brie Bella
I. You know, it's been amazing doing the series. When I kind of talked about doing it, I was like, will this work or not? Because I didn't. You know, I sometimes, like, feel like people who want to save the planet are, like, the biggest villains in the world. Like, you know what I mean?
Nikki Bella
Just so.
Brie Bella
It's so.
Nikki Bella
No, I do think that is changing for sure.
Brie Bella
It definitely is. It definitely is. But, you know, hippies used to be like. I was like, damn, like, you were scared to say you were one. But it's been so much fun, the people who've come out of the woodworks. But also, I think for me, it's been the easiest thing I've ever done because I love it so much. And what it is, it's my everyday life, so I don't have to really stop and, like, think hard about it or. Or even the prepping. The prepping is different because it's something I love so much. So it's so fun. And I was lucky enough. So when I'm part of. I'm on the board for emma, which is the Environmental Media association, and I was telling them I was going to New York and there was some stuff I want to do, and they're like, well, on our Young Hollywood board sits this actress, Gabrielle Nevaeh. And, you know, she's from Nickelodeon's all that, the hit show My Girl Lele, and she's now the lead actress on Stranger Things Broadway show.
Nikki Bella
Oh, wow.
Brie Bella
So, yeah, so she. She's 20 years old, Nicole. And when I spoke to her, I was like, this is an old soul. But the way she spoke, I'm like.
Nikki Bella
Well, to your point, because I. When I was leaving for my appearance and I got to meet her and her mom in the lobby, I felt that from her.
Brie Bella
Yeah.
Nikki Bella
And her mom is incredible. But I was like, oh, wow, this. She comes off so much more mature than her age, but, like, speaks so well. Like, you could feel the old soul in her, and you see it for sure in a beautiful way.
Brie Bella
And, like, I was like, okay, I have that Bella Grammar, so. Oh, but I know. But we had a wonderful conversation. You know, we talked a lot about the importance of urban parks and why cities need them. You know, not only. I mean. Well, I don't want to say not only because it is one of the most important things, but mental health, but also these cities need to breathe like people need to breathe. And in order to do that, you need trees, you need plants, you need bees, butterflies, birds, like, to. In order for us to truly exist in this world and thrive, we need nature, we need animals. And sometimes our egos are so much bigger than that human that we forget we're part of that circle. So we talked about the importance of Central park, but also throughout the whole world, how important parks are for people who live in these big cities.
Nikki Bella
They really are.
Brie Bella
Yeah.
Nikki Bella
And.
Brie Bella
And you have to fight for them because they do try to slowly take them away. You really have to fight for him. And she's into sustainable fashion. And it was really neat to hear what hit her. You'll have to go to my series and listen. And what made her really want to make the big step. And obviously, you know, a lot of it was over consuming. Looking in her closet one day and being like, why do I have all this? What do I have?
Nikki Bella
Yeah, like, what?
Brie Bella
What is that? You know?
Nikki Bella
And so kind of how I started.
Brie Bella
Yeah. So she started sustainable fashion line where she gets old jean, Jack gets an old baby blankets, and she puts them together. And so right now, so cute. She has to put it on pause right now because her Broadway schedules, like, insane. Like, we thought we were busy.
Nikki Bella
No joke. Oh, Broadway is no joke.
Brie Bella
But, you know, it was really fun because I wanted to support her and go to the Stranger Things Broadway. You know me, I've been to a lot of Broadways. I'm like a nerd for all that. It might be the best Broadway I've ever seen. Wow. The special.
Nikki Bella
I was so bummed I couldn't go meet you guys.
Brie Bella
It was unreal. And you know, Netflix obviously is putting it on. They put a lot of money into it. And you know, they. They even.
Nikki Bella
Okay, can you tell everyone how much money you heard that they put into it?
Brie Bella
Well, I heard. Not. I heard from one of the security guards there that they put in like 45 million, which I believe it. It was literally one of the greatest Broadways. I mean, not only their acting. Which the Tony Awards better nominate Gabrielle for an award. I know the lead actor is nominated, but she better be because she was so unreal. The acting was like through the roof. The special effects were on a different level to where I'm like, how did they. How did they do that? Like, how are they doing that? So if you're in New York, you have to go watch Stranger Things. And you know what? I only watched the first season because I was so scared. But Maddie, my cousin who was with me, she, like, is obsessed with Stranger Things. So she, like, told me everything. This is the prequel. The prequel that's going into season five. I think something like, I can't remember, but she broke it down to me, so I felt like I followed really easily. But even if you don't know the story, it's mind blowing. Everything.
Nikki Bella
Wow.
Brie Bella
But Nicole, because you like conspiracy theories, you need to do love them. Yeah. This is based on the Philadelphia one with the military and then something where then they started testing kids in Utah. Really? It's a huge conspiracy theory. Maddie was telling me about it. And, like, I didn't know that. You can go on a deep hole with it. Yeah. Deals with, like, testing military, like, on crazy things. And that's what they are. Like, this kid. I. I don't. It was unreal, but you should. Their whole opening scene, I was just like, what? I mean, they blew me away.
Nikki Bella
Wow.
Brie Bella
Yeah.
Nikki Bella
I love that. Well, you know, Bri, two 1. I need to go watch that. And it's funny because I was the same as you. I got into season one, and then I was, like, getting scared, so I started getting. Maybe I'll have to go back to that. And then when we. I. You and I always end up in New York in the fall. For some reason, somehow we always do.
Brie Bella
Yeah.
Nikki Bella
And then maybe I could go watch it then. I still really want to do the Gilded Age.
Brie Bella
Yes.
Nikki Bella
Museum with you. But.
Brie Bella
Yeah, I'll go watch with me because it's so good. I would love to see it again.
Nikki Bella
Yes.
Brie Bella
I mean, I was.
Nikki Bella
Okay.
Brie Bella
Good. I mean, when it ended and it went long, I. I wasn't ready for it to be done. I was. And then it was cool because Gabrielle brought us back. Now you can't go on the stage, but, like, where they get dressed and, like, other things. And I was like, oh, my gosh. It was, like, really neat. And. Yeah. And I was just so impressed just by her work ethic and everything she's done at 20. Like, you know, it's. It's really fascinating. And just her. You know what I love? She said, we don't need to know the answers, but it's about teaching yourself. That's really the first step into activism is like. Like just starting to learn. And 100 and so, like, when you. You're looking at all the news, let's say, or just living life and something is bothering you, you watch and you go, why can't it be like this? Why can't they do it like that? Start to educate yourself on that topic. And you might be. That might be your thing to stand up and use your voice for and start to, you know, be an activist for.
Nikki Bella
Yeah. I mean, I agree with you. And even if it's like, okay, I don't want to be an activist, but I want to start to have more of a green heart, because I'm seeing where the world's at, and I want it to be better when I leave it. I started. So, like, when you talk about Mother Nature and the importance and, you know me, this lawn I've been working on, and, like, even when someone Goes well. It doesn't get enough sun over here, so, like, it's just. You need to put in fake, and I won't give up. So I started to just watch videos on, like, how. How do you save a dead lawn? And, like, what's the best for it? So I was out there. You'd be proud last night doing the fertilizer. And. And. Okay, Bri, you've known how the past two weeks. I've been really hardcore with it. Maybe three.
Brie Bella
Yeah.
Nikki Bella
The dead part. Guess what? It's alive this morning. Because I always start to go and, like, I always like to put my feet in the grass. And that's why I'm like, I don't want to get rid of it because I've been bringing Mateo out there. And I'm like, it's just. There's something about it. There's starting to be new green grass coming through the dead.
Brie Bella
Yeah.
Nikki Bella
And I'm like, see, I knew, like, they. People just wanted to tear it up and be like.
Brie Bella
But, Nicole, that whatever activism you're being active, you're.
Nikki Bella
I thought that you don't need to.
Brie Bella
Go to rally my voice and hold a banner. Granted, that helps out a lot, and that is definitely an activist in some people's eyes, but overall, no, it's researching and wanting to have a solution to a problem. That's what you did. So you activated. So you. What you did.
Nikki Bella
And there were bees on my lawn, and you're doing it so the bees were happy, and you're doing it from a good place.
Brie Bella
Like, you're. Do you know what I mean? Like, you didn't. Like, it's not vanity. It's not, like, selfish reasons. Like, you're connected to nature, and that's where you want nature to thrive. And so. And that's what you have to remember. But, you know, some fans sent some questions.
Nikki Bella
Well, I wanted to ask you. Yeah, I was going to ask you these. I would love to hear about pest control and any feeders you use to keep the plants healthy. That was at lady and the Fox 74 on YouTube. So this comes from your series, Bri.
Brie Bella
Yeah. So what's really neat is to keep my plants healthy. I'm actually. I have episodes coming up later on this summer, or I guess it'll be more like September time, but called soil snacks and things to look for. Like to know if you have healthy soil. And then obviously, when plants.
Nikki Bella
I love that.
Brie Bella
Yeah. When plants die, we're realizing the soil is not healthy. Everyone always kind of thinks it's the way I planted, I over watered which.
Nikki Bella
Not enough water, sun, I mean, which.
Brie Bella
There are things.
Nikki Bella
Yeah.
Brie Bella
Like that.
Nikki Bella
Those are components.
Brie Bella
But for sure, first thing is, is your soil healthy? And you guys kind of saw me do this banana tea on my Instagram. Well, I go deep into an episode of all the different soil snacks. So we're talking about like coffee grinds, banana peels, banana tea. We're talking, you know, eggshells, and there's like different little things. And this is, you know, you really, if you do the research and you want to do all natural ways, you'll start to find, like, where you can get to the root and kind of just figure out how to make your soil healthy. Now, when we talk about pest control, I know someone else kind of has a question too on that, you know, so I'm going to kind of blend to Nicole what @DM L1383 said about. Because people right now, it's tomato season. We're all growing tomatoes like crazy.
Nikki Bella
I need to pick mine. I have so many tomatoes.
Brie Bella
So how to keep the bugs away but not using harmful chemicals. And this deals with pest control as well. You guys. Companion plants are the biggest thing. We have a lot of lavender and basil. That's going to keep mosquitoes, other, like little pesty bugs away. But the biggest thing, and it's weird that you can go to the nursery and buy this, but is getting ladybugs. It's always hard, I mean, to go buy them at the store, but I do it. I buy them at the nursery and I put ladybugs. And you got to really read the directions because there's certain times you got to let your ladybugs out. But your ladybugs, they're going to eat those, like, especially with your tomatoes, those little bugs, I mean, they're going to eat them all up right there. And how cute are ladybugs, too? And they're happy. Oh, yeah, they're our biggest ladybugs. Keep all the bad little bugs away, especially from your tomatoes. All that ladybugs are important to have. And then actually, when you're putting coffee grinds and the eggshells in your soil, not only are you making your. Your soil healthy and the worms are happy, but it's going to kind of make beetles not want to come slugs. It's going to keep them out of your garden beds. I. I've seen people on TikTok and even YouTube like, put together, like, cool, like natural concoctions. I haven't done that yet because I Haven't needed it. But definitely I do that. And listen, your local nursery, the people there so knowledgeable and I've gone there so many times being like, I need all natural, like nothing, whatever, what could help with this or this. And like, they're awesome.
Nikki Bella
Yeah, well. And you know, to speak a little bit to the modern day person, because I'm someone who wants. I don't want bees to die in my yard due to pest control, but I also don't want certain. I know some of the dangerous spiders that can live around vineyards and all that. So I don't want that in my home, especially with Mateo or myself. So this is what I do. There's. You just. You got to do your research. But there are certain pest control companies that try to be as green as they can. And so I have one where I get the greenest form that you can. It's still a chemical, but it's the greenest. And I'm, I was a very strict, like the first time the person came here, very strict about, I just want it sprayed in these places. I do not them want on these plants. Please be careful. My bees. And, and I was just. I had to like, really walk through it with them. And then I could tell that all of a sudden there was a new person one day, like it was like a year into it and the spraying got a little out of control. And I called the company and I was like, hey, did someone new come? And we had that discussion and I said, yes, I can tell they, like sprayed in places they shouldn't have. And I could, I could see it on my la. I saw it on my lavender.
Brie Bella
That's sad.
Nikki Bella
And then everything went back to normal. And so I think that's. Just get specific with your pest control. I make sure it only, only does the house. They do it every other month.
Brie Bella
And let me tell you, you have thriving plants outside. And things are like, nature's doing their thing. Spiders want to be outside and not in. But you got a lot of, like.
Nikki Bella
Some of them want to sneak on in here.
Brie Bella
I think it's like there's a lot of chemicals outside. They're going to find their way where they can breathe. But, you know, but this is.
Nikki Bella
But I literally. They don't have. And I guess I don't really get a lot in my house.
Brie Bella
Right.
Nikki Bella
So whether that's the pest control that I get, that's just, it's more of the borderline of my house where they could come through. And for ants too, because we get so many ants in wine country. But, I mean, I do see the spiderwebs all over everywhere else. Not in my home, but yeah, they're.
Brie Bella
Like, everywhere, but yeah. I mean, it's awesome. And you'll be able to research. You'll be able to find some things. I mean, there's a. An amazing solution for everything. But I will say this. What's convenient? Throwing chemicals on things quick. But we don't need quick. Life doesn't need to be quick. You know, we had an issue at the tasting room with Wasp, and the guy's like, well, I can throw chemical on it, and they'll just die. And I go, well, what's the natural solution? And he goes, smoking them out. But that takes a bit. I go, what's a bit? He's like, a couple hours. I got a couple hours.
Nikki Bella
Yeah.
Brie Bella
Got a couple hours. They're not bugging anyone. They're just, like, all around the trash can and, like.
Nikki Bella
Right.
Brie Bella
You know, they can be aggressive, but we got hours. So smoke them out. Like, you know what I mean? It's like, totally. So. It's like. That's the one thing that is, like, convenience has been a huge killer to our planet. We gotta let go of convenience. We don't need convenience. We need to live. Live healthy on a healthy planet. And who doesn't? Everyone want slow days. Like, slow days are beautiful. Let's, like, start beautiful to, like, condition ourselves. Make it a habit that things take time. That the to do list isn't going to be done in one day. It's going to be done in a week.
Nikki Bella
I agree. You know, I mean, amen to that.
Brie Bella
Yeah, well, that's my little rant on that.
Nikki Bella
No. Well, Bri, I'm. Everyone make sure to check out Bri's series if you haven't yet, on our YouTube channel called this is Bri.
Brie Bella
More. Hi, my name is Bri. How do you.
Nikki Bella
Sorry. Hola. My name is Bri. No. Yes. Hi, My name is Bri. I'm sorry. So make sure to go check it out. And, Bree, there's two more. Well, a few more events I want to talk about before we get into our inspiration affirmation. First, we got to talk about. You know, we. We touched a little bit on Bonita. Bonita being at Mountain Life Stadium, but we got to also talk about Bonita. Bonita being at the wine library in New Jersey. How crazy was that when we had to, like, cancel the event? I mean, I was like, wait, are we about to get hit with the tornado or floods? Flooding.
Brie Bella
I know. It's always hard to cancel an event, but, you know, at the end of the day, everyone's safety is the most important thing.
Nikki Bella
Oh, definitely.
Brie Bella
Which is why we canceled. I mean, when you have a governor doing a state of emergency, you just. You have to take that serious.
Nikki Bella
Can't have people. Yeah, you can't have people standing in line waiting for wine.
Brie Bella
The one thing I did read that a big mistake people do is you think a street isn't as flooded as it is, and then you start to drive, thinking you can easily drive through, and then you realize how deep it is, and that's how cars can start to float away. So, yeah, I mean, I think we made the greatest decision, and for everyone. I was supposed to leave Sunday morning, but I was, like. Felt so bad, so I, you know, extended my trip to be able to make it Monday. I mean, I had fun. I got to go to the Broadway Sunday, hang out in Central park, get a tattoo.
Nikki Bella
And it was really cool to be at the wine library. That place is incredible. And to see that our wine is there. So I know someone had asked Selena in New Jersey, asked about how she couldn't make it to the event at the wine library, and how does she get her hands on some bonita. Bonita on the East Coast? Well, hey, wine library, we're stocked up, so head there, New Jersey. Hopefully, we'll be opening up in some other places because we now are working with a really badass distributor there. So we're trying to get.
Brie Bella
Tell them. Also, you guys want our bubbles and you want some of our other goodies.
Nikki Bella
Yes, I know, right? And then we have. We copa coming up. And sadly, which I'll be making that announcement. It's in two Fridays.
Brie Bella
No, no.
Nikki Bella
By the time. It'll be this Friday, right? By the time this comes out.
Brie Bella
Oh, my God.
Nikki Bella
I know. And I unfortunately, won't be able to make it. So it'll be just be Bri hosting solo. She's stepping in for me because I have something that I have to do with Mateo that I can't miss. Yeah, that's priority, so. And brother, which.
Brie Bella
Thank you, brother Bella will be there.
Nikki Bella
J.J. will, brother Bella.
Brie Bella
He's bringing some.
Nikki Bella
You are Claire?
Brie Bella
Yeah, we have some.
Nikki Bella
Molly Michelle, you're gonna have a good, good crew.
Brie Bella
And my last one I did in Arizona. We had so much fun. We're gonna have five courses. I'm pairing a wine with each course, gonna talk a little bit about it. We're literally gonna drink and have some fun, and it's a great. It's a great time.
Nikki Bella
I love that. That's gonna be so much fun. So it's. It's just. And. And we can't. We. We won't say anything yet till everything's locked in. But Brie and I just got such, like, a lot more great news about Bonita Bonita for Nevada. And I'm like, wow. It's just. It's crazy. You've all been on this journey with us, and it's crazy when things start connecting and. Thank you, guys. Bonita. Bonita for us has been about 8 years. 8 years of hard work.
Brie Bella
Yeah.
Nikki Bella
Bri and I, we've had employees come in and out, but, like, it really has been one of our companies that is so hands on. Bri and I do everything financially. That's why we've always. We've started out small, and now we're just starting to see this growth. And. And look, it's. It's not an overnight success. This is almost a decade into it. And now we're getting these bigger deals and we have these incredible employees, and it's just like, whoa, this is really, like, happening. And it's just. It's amazing to see. It really is so. Isn't it?
Brie Bella
Yeah, it's. It's. It's. You know, it's one of those things when they tell you when you start to see, like, growth and something growing, it just kind of takes you back. You're just like, whoa, like, this is happening. Like, we're doing this right?
Nikki Bella
Oh, my God. I agree. It's been amazing. And we got to talk about Monday Night Raw.
Brie Bella
Oh, yeah. I loved it.
Nikki Bella
It. I. I mean, what's crazy is, like, people are like, best promo of the year. Becky burned me, lit me up. Everyone's like, best burn of the year. It's crazy. Like, all the media, it's made, which. These are the moments we want. Right?
Brie Bella
For sure.
Nikki Bella
And, you know, think of me. That was day 11 of having this crazy schedule. And I had told myself, especially because I'm still getting used to being up that late. So think. When I walked out, it was almost 10pm and I gotta start to figure out, like, I need to talk to, like, some AI advice to device to be like, hey, so how do we. How do we stay looking good and fresh?
Brie Bella
I know.
Nikki Bella
I always feel like I become in makeup all day. Well, it's my. My eyes, my. For the moms. You guys will understand this. And Bri, you know this. You know how our tummies will be so tight, and then it's weird because towards the end of the night, what I realize is this, like, what I like to call the baby skin part. Like, that's in the middle of the tummy around the belly button. It just gets kind of loose. And I'll go do some abs. And I'm like, so I have to go to sleep for you to get tight. But that's okay. Someone did tell me, put Preparation H on it, and that could help. So I'm gonna try that. Not burn you this week. No. I guess it can tighten the skin for, like, a few hours, I guess it's really great. So I'm gonna try that because my skin will be so tight earlier and I won't even eat, and it just. It just naturally loosens.
Brie Bella
Wow.
Nikki Bella
But I had to give. It was one of those moments being run down, feeling this energy, being 11 days straight where I was like, I'm going to get out there and I'm going to give it all I have. I'm going to leave everything on that mat knowing that all I have to do is get on a flight and recharge till I get to Tao. And that was, like, more and bigger than I could expect. I mean, one. I just let that Brooklyn crowd.
Brie Bella
I mean, they're amazing. They're always so good.
Nikki Bella
They're always so amazing. They are just one of my favorite crowds. And with the Brooklyn crowd, we have something. We have. I've had. We both have had such iconic moments in there and matches. And then I just think of that time I came back from my broken neck and surprised everyone was there. It's just Brooklyn. We have a lot of great memories and. But that was so much fun, that burn. It's funny because I love it. My Bella army. And I want you all to know I've been seeing it online. They've all been treating me like really good burns to go back at Becky. So I've been saving them because I'm gonna need them. I. I truly feel like right now I'm in this, like, Rocky era. Like an underdog era.
Brie Bella
Yeah.
Nikki Bella
And I haven't been in that underdog era for a really, really long time. And it's kind of cool to be there because all I, like, all I have to do is climb up is to keep fighting my way up. And it's kind of cool to be back in this underdog era because of the expectation or where I'm at. And it's, like, kind of cool that all I have to do is show up and give my best and impress and have the crowd behind me and fight for this, and I want to fight hard for it. So everyone please keep continuing to send me in some really good burns.
Brie Bella
And I gotta think of something to.
Nikki Bella
Becky, because I need. After that one she hit me with about John, I was like, it was good.
Brie Bella
Oh, I wasn't. Oh.
Nikki Bella
And the yes chant, by the way.
Brie Bella
I wasn't expecting it. That John burned. And I was like, wow, that was really good. Yeah. And I love seeing the yes champ for sure.
Nikki Bella
I know I did it too fast when I joined in, but I was, like, worked up.
Brie Bella
It.
Nikki Bella
Yeah, I was worked up. I was so excited. And we were. It was just. I've been on, like, a high since that raw. It's been great. And I know someone commented, nikki, you're an og. You can't keep having people punch you like. Like, you not that girl. I'm about tired of this. That's at. I love Kizzy. Oh, well, your girl's just warming up, so. This is because someone else wrote, I need Nikki to bring back her Heel Divas Champ vibe back. Just keep watching. Just keep. That's all I can say.
Brie Bella
Okay.
Nikki Bella
Just keep watching. You know, you know, this is. You know what's a great example, and this is what I love about our business. And I feel like a lot of us OGs do this. Rollins fooled us all, like, for sure. He, Bri, he was at evolution back there. All I know, I had a, like, almost a 30 minute conversation with him about his knee, and he's like, yeah, it's the same one. This feels worse. But, you know, it gave me a good 10 years.
Brie Bella
No, I.
Nikki Bella
We all. I. I couldn't believe the whole thing. Like, I felt so bad for him because, you know, we feel bad telling me, right? But this is what I love about the long storytelling because nothing's more fun to look back at moments and be like, oh, my gosh, I missed that. But that took me here. And that is the beauty of our business. Because a lot of the times nowadays, like, when you're talking about overstimulation and I'm here and I'm there and I feel like I have add. It's even. I kind of feel like that's how we kind of storytell now. Even in wrestling or wherever it may be, everything's about, like, we know everything that day and that night. Like, we're just living day by day. We don't have the long storytelling anymore. And so you realize how much we still need it. And fans thrive on it. When you see stuff like Rollins.
Brie Bella
Like, for sure.
Nikki Bella
It felt so great to be shocked. Like, to not expect it. It's being unpredictable. Like, that was amazing. So. Well, sister, do you have some inspo.
Brie Bella
I do.
Nikki Bella
I have inspiration affirmation for us do.
Brie Bella
And I love roomie Roomy. Or is it rummy Rummy Rummy.
Nikki Bella
Yeah.
Brie Bella
I thought this one was really good, especially coming off today's episode of everything we've been talking about. But yeah, let the beauty of what you love be what you do. And I agree. You know, and I feel like when you can find what you love and then you can figure out that it's what you do, life is just. It feels like there's a purpose for sure there.
Nikki Bella
It does. And it's weird because what I've noticed is times when I really want to rest, which pass few days, I've really had to let my body rest. It's. I've been. I mean, look at my under eyes. I've been sleeping so hard, but and taking naps during the day when, you know, Mateo's at camp. I've just let my body rest. But the times that I don't need to what I've getting into my lawn, you know, because sometimes I could be like, oh, do I really want to do that? I have found, like, I love watering now. I love looking out at the vineyards and I love seeing the wind come by. And I look at my yard and I see my butterflies or my bees or kids playing or Mateo's always with me playing when I do it. And I've realized how much I love makes me outside. I love it. I love how my feet feel. I look at Mateo swinging. We're just playing or he's building some rock thing or when it's his time to water, he's just shooting it high up in the sky or, you know, last night Brie and give you memories because it reminded me a lot of our childhood. But I was watering and it was a really warm day yesterday and it's in the evening, so, you know, sometimes those warm like Arizona evenings and Matteo kept wanting to run through my hose. He goes again and I would like lift it up and I get him. But the smell of the grass and how the water would hit us and the feel, I. It took me so back into like elementary school days of us in the summers or at soccer practice when we go run through the sprinklers, like when we be hot, it was like it immediately like just hit me with all that. I'm like one. I'm love that my son's getting these core memories because of what I'm feeling right now. But, like, I wouldn't have done that if I didn't start to get a passion of like, my lawn is not dead. I'm gonna grow that. You know what I mean? So it just kind of reminds me of what you just kind of hit us with.
Brie Bella
Yeah.
Nikki Bella
And like, the importance of just get off that couch and go do it.
Brie Bella
For sure. And I think so. You never know what will. What will come from it.
Nikki Bella
Right.
Brie Bella
