1:02 Bunnie XO? Dude. It was so fun.
1:05 Speaker 01 It was so much fun.
1:06 Bunnie XO? I loved it. I have always said that I would dread doing a tour and I actually loved it. It was really good. I only messed up one time onstage in Vegas introducing Papa Roach. I fucking.
1:19 Speaker 01 Bro, Jacoby backstage, you said his name and he said.
1:24 Bunnie XO? Fuck.
1:25 Speaker 02 They all scattered.

1:32 Bunnie XO? So embarrassing. So embarrassing. Like the one time I fuck up, I have to fuck up in front of them. Like, come on dude. That's how I do it. I really fucking drive it on home, John B, whenever I do that kind of stuff.
1:48 Bunnie XO? Tour was fucking amazing. Everybody was so great. The, the people that showed up, just amazing. LA ended up being, I feel like, one of my favorite shows. We were worried about LA and LA was actually like one of the, the creme de la creme, dude. We had Bert Kreischer show up. Wiz Khalifa, my baby Wiz, like, oh my god. I love Wiz.
2:08 Speaker 01 I love him.
2:09 Bunnie XO? I love, like, he is one of the best humans in the fucking world. Just sweet, sweet boy, dude. And he's like, he's so swagged out, it's what makes him hot. Like he's like, you know what I'm talking about? He's so smooth.
2:23 Speaker 01 I was so panicked because he was just taking his time coming to stage and I'm like, she's ready to announce him and he's like, I can see him in the distance.
2:30 Bunnie XO? You just see smoke coming.
2:32 Speaker 01 Dude, literally three people. I said, three people.
2:34 Bunnie XO? Slow mo with weed smoke behind his head.
2:37 Speaker 01 He's just coming down the stairs and I'm like,
2:40 Speaker 01 come on, you're about to go on. And then he like stopped for a break. I said, oh my God.
2:44 Bunnie XO? Dude, I just can't believe the, the guests that showed up.
2:48 Speaker 01 Yes.
2:48 Bunnie XO? Like I'm so fucking thankful for each one. I had Winona Judd. Okay. Let me just give you guys some backstory on me calling these guests to ask them to come. Okay. First of all, I'm like, who the fuck am I to ask somebody to come to my fucking book tour? You know, like I just don't, I never want to ask people for favors. And when people are home, not touring, the last thing they want to do is show up to a fucking event. You know, I have asked Winona Judd to be on the podcast for two years at least. And every time she straight up says no. She has, I fucking love, I love Nona dude. She don't care. She is just who she is. And she's not going to sugarcoat anything. And she has said no, straight up. And we were sitting around and we were kind of like brainstorming for Nashville.
3:33 Bunnie XO? And I was like, who should we bring? And somehow Winona's name got brought up and I was like, I mean, she's told me no fucking 15 times already. What's the worst she could say is no? Like I'm used to it now, you know? So I fucking, I'm shaking. I go to call her and I'm like,
3:52 Bunnie XO? I think I sent her a voice message, right? Did I send her a voice message or did I call her?
3:55 Speaker 01 You called her.
3:56 Bunnie XO? Oh, I called her.
3:57 Speaker 01 I'm cooking dinner.
3:57 Bunnie XO? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I called her and I was like, I said, Winona, feel free to tell me to go fuck myself. I was like, I just, I have to put this out there. I'm doing a book tour, blah, blah, blah. I gave her the whole spiel. She's like, when is it? I said, I gave her the date and she goes, yeah, I'll do it. We like all fucking fell out of our chairs in that moment because I was just like, oh my, didn't we get it on video? Did we get it on video?
4:22 Speaker 01 I believe so, yeah.
4:23 Bunnie XO? Yeah, insert that video right here. Y'all know I'm always doing something to the house and lately I've been working on our outdoor space. I'd been looking for something to pull the patio together when I found the Hardigan black and white outdoor rug on Wayfair.

5:59 Speaker 04 I'm cooking supper.
6:00 Bunnie XO? What are you making?
6:03 Speaker 04 Pork chops and mashed potatoes and biscuits.
6:07 Bunnie XO? Oh my gosh, I need to come to your house and eat.
6:10 Speaker 04 Yeah. I'm just hanging out.
6:13 Bunnie XO? Down home food. Well, I wanted to put this in your ear and you don't have to give me an answer at all, but you know how much I love you. I've always, always, always loved you. Um, I am doing a sold out show in Nashville. Um, for my book tour, cause my book drops this week. Um, they want, thank you. They wanted me to do like a regular book signing and I was like, absolutely not. I'm not going to do that, but I will do it my way. And so we have special guests that'll be there. My husband's performing. If you had 15 minutes of your time and sit on the couch for 15 minutes, I would pay you an appearance fee
6:51 Bunnie XO? or whatever you wanted and just, I would love to have somebody as iconic as you and I would be as honored as I possibly could be. If you could make time. If not, I'm totally fine with that. So don't make a decision now, but I just wanted to put it in your ear. And it's on the 22nd.
7:07 Speaker 04 Of this month?
7:08 Bunnie XO? Yes, ma'am.
7:09 Speaker 04 Let me see, let me look on my schedules. The 22nd of February. I think I'm here. 22nd, I'm here.
7:18 Bunnie XO? I would literally cry if I could have you be a part of it.
7:22 Speaker 04 Oh, I want to. I totally do to support you. Absolutely. I think these things are important.
7:27 Bunnie XO? We were just like, could not believe that Wynonna Judd said yes to doing that after she had told me 15 times, no, that she's not coming on the podcast, you know? Or, you know, said that she'll do it like next year when she has.
7:39 Speaker 01 It was always like, oh, well, we'll get to it.
7:41 Bunnie XO? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it was just so amazing. And then, then, so I'm like, I got the wind underneath my wings, right? And I'm like, okay, I'm like, who can we have for Vegas? And somehow Jacoby's name got through in the, in the pot. And I'm like,
7:56 Bunnie XO? I was just like, oh, fuck, man. I'm like, I cannot call Jacoby and ask him to do this fucking book tour. And Mimi's like, you can do it. I, I have faith in you.
8:06 Speaker 01 I was cheering you on the whole time.
8:07 Bunnie XO? I was cheering you on. And I'm just like, oh, God, man. You know, like, fuck, you just, you, you, you love these people. So you don't want to like be that person. And so I shoot a text to Jacoby and I'm just like,
8:20 Bunnie XO? Hey, um, I have something I need to ask you. Can you call me when you can? And he hits me back a little bit, a little while later and he's like, hey, I'm getting on a plane, but I'll call you tomorrow, whatever. So the next day he does exactly that. Hey, I just woke up. Give me a call today, whenever you want. And I'm like breathing into a bag, hyperventilating before I call him. You know, like, I'm just like so stressed out about it. I'm like, Mimi, I can't call him. And she's like, call him bitch.
8:43 Speaker 01 She's counting down the minutes. She's like, I'm gonna call him right now. No, no, no, wait, I'm gonna call him now.
8:46 Bunnie XO? Yeah, I was so nervous and I was just like, oh my God. Um, and so I call him and he answers the phone and I'm hyperventilating and I'm just like, Jacoby, and I give him this whole fucking spiel, dude. And he's like, yeah, I'll do it. And I was just like, are you serious? Like, I could not believe that he said yes. And I was just like, oh my God, this is so fucking cool. Like, holy shit, I'm gonna have fucking Papa Roach at the fucking, my Vegas show. And then I'm like, well, who else can I call?
9:17 Speaker 01 He got so cocky.
9:18 Bunnie XO? Fucking roll now. So we could, if I could hit Zach from Shinedown, immediate, yes. Love fucking Pussy Banjo. He's the most amazing human in the world. I even introduced him as Pussy Banjo onstage. He said, I didn't think she was gonna say that.
9:33 Speaker 01 He said, now I have to explain that to people.
9:36 Bunnie XO? Britt said, what the fuck is that? Britt.
9:39 Speaker 01 He thought you called him that. He said, what'd she just call me? And Zach goes, no, that's my nickname.
9:48 Bunnie XO? Yeah. No, I love Shinedown so much. They're just amazing humans. Bert Kreischer literally came in at the bottom of the ninth, called off his flight just so he could be there for this. Um, Wiz was going through his own personal stuff and hadn't left the house in a couple of weeks. And then Soraya, Jack Osborne, like, love Soraya to death, dude. That's what, she's one of my best friends. I will stand by Soraya forever. Um, Jack Osborne was just like, yes, I want to be a part of it. And what a sweet boy he is.
10:20 Speaker 01 He was so funny.
10:21 Bunnie XO? He has so much personality.
10:23 Speaker 01 Yeah, I would love for you to go on his podcast because I feel like you guys vibe so well.
10:27 Bunnie XO? Yeah, I love Jack. I can't wait to do like a pod swap. We should do that whenever I'm in LA. But yeah, no, Jack, I mean, who else am I missing? Oh, fucking Leo Sceppy.
10:36 Speaker 01 Leo Sceppy said.
10:37 Bunnie XO? My baby Leo. I fucking, somebody had made a video that went viral that said I was, I asked Leo to be on the podcast as a PR stunt. I never, or I asked Leo to be a part of a show as a, as a PR stunt and I'm just like, I've never done anything for a PR stunt, ever. I just happen to be in the, I can just talk about, I have had the most ridiculous headlines, I think of anybody in the world ever.
11:03 Speaker 01 Yes.
11:03 Bunnie XO? I have headlines about being in diapers, talking about bacterial vaginosis. Um, I mean, you name it, I get a freaking headline.
11:10 Speaker 01 You have the headlines saying some of the, like, very prestigious headlines of like these companies.
11:16 Speaker 02 I just wanna know what they think when they're like typing it.
11:18 Speaker 01 Yeah, it's like, Bunny, so where's diapers?
11:20 Bunnie XO? Well, at this point, they know that I love it and so I, cause I always post about it and laugh about it, which gets their stuff viewed. So I think it's like a little, just a loving game that me and the media play now is like, what can we quote Bunny saying the weirdest shit? Cause it's always been like that and I, and I love it. The media has been so good to us, man. I am so thankful that they just love us enough to pick up every story that we write. But anyways, back to that video, I was just like, Leo's my friend. Like, I love Leo. Leo is probably one of the most stand-up humans that you will ever meet. And when he shows up, he is the vibe and he is so sweet. He's so loving.
11:57 Speaker 01 Doing pushups backstage.
11:58 Bunnie XO? Doing pushups backstage, like he needs to make his arms any buffer, you know, like he's just a great human. And so when we were thinking about, I was thinking about having him at Vegas.
12:07 Speaker 01 Yes.
12:08 Bunnie XO? And he actually picked Nashville. He's like, can I do Nashville? I was like, yeah, I would love to have you at Nashville. So, yeah, we got Leo, um, dude.
12:17 Speaker 01 Mob Wives.
12:18 Bunnie XO? The Mob Wives. How fucking funny were they?
12:21 Speaker 01 Wild. That was, that was a real scene that played out backstage that flowed onto the stage. That was crazy.
12:29 Bunnie XO? You guys are gonna get to see all of these, cause we're gonna be posting the live shows. So when, when you guys actually finally get to see these live shows, The Mob Wives was not a skit.
12:37 Speaker 01 No.
12:37 Bunnie XO? Renee had said some foul shit about Karen. I don't know exactly what it was. They kinda talk about it. And then, you know, Ramona and Karen are super close. I think they might even be cousins or something. And so, you know, Renee, I love Renee to death. She is mother, but she is fucking just so damn spicy, man. And though, you know, those girls are like, they literally are icons, dude. There's no reason why those girls should not be in each other's lives, because they really built something so monumental together. So I really hope they figure it out and can, and can, you know, have some sort of. camaraderie because it was hilarious watching them argue on the stage. I was just sitting there like, this is the show.
13:20 Speaker 01 Bro, Renee wouldn't put her microphone up to her mouth and you said, I'm giving up on the microphone.
13:25 Bunnie XO? Yeah. Renee just did not care about the microphone at all.
13:29 Speaker 01 We were like literally backstage being like, bro, just put the microphone up to your mouth.
13:33 Bunnie XO? Pick up the fucking microphone.
13:34 Speaker 02 And then someone didn't put their mic to their mouth and they were like, you were like, don't be a Renee.
13:39 Bunnie XO? Yeah, don't be a Renee dude. Um, who else did I miss?
13:42 Speaker 02 Chelsea Lynn.
13:43 Bunnie XO? Chelsea Lynn, dude. My sister from another mystery, my fucking twin, Chelsea Lynn came in and just,
13:50 Speaker 01 So funny.
13:51 Bunnie XO? Dude, I love Chelsea. Anytime I have needed that woman for anything, she shows up. Her and her fucking crew, man. And I want to be able to return that favor to her. So whatever she needs me to do.
14:02 Speaker 01 Go get tickets to her loose lips tour.
14:04 Bunnie XO? Yeah, go to Chelsea Lynn's loose lips tour. Tell her we sent you because that woman is just so,
14:12 Bunnie XO? unselfish. Like it doesn't matter what you need. If she's your friend, she's going to be there for you.
14:17 Speaker 01 Weren't you in the bathroom and you hear someone come in?
14:21 Bunnie XO? Tell the bathroom story.
14:22 Speaker 02 I was, I was going to the bathroom.
14:25 Bunnie XO? Taking a dump?
14:25 Speaker 02 Yeah. And, uh, cause I was nervous and, uh, I hear someone come in. So I was like, gotta stop. And I looked down to see, cause I was like, I pretty much know everyone who's back here. I just see these feet with a plain black strap and just one of those like old school sandals. And I said, I said, uh, what did I say? I said, stop. Cause that's our thing. We say to each other. I just, I just was like, stop. And she goes, no.
14:54 Speaker 02 I said, I said, is that my baby girl? And she was like, God, I love you. Meanwhile, I'm, I, I was like, I'm literally taking a dump right now. She's like, is that why it smells like roses?
15:07 Speaker 02 Just fucking anything she says out of her mouth is so funny.
15:10 Bunnie XO? No, she's hilarious.
15:11 Speaker 02 Like in character, not in character.
15:13 Bunnie XO? She's been opening up a lot about her childhood and I've seen a lot of clips about it and that's pretty, it's crazy. They lived a really rough childhood.
15:19 Speaker 01 Yeah, I know she touched on it when we did her first podcast. Again, coming through for us, like shows up first, one of her first episodes.
15:27 Bunnie XO? She was one of our first guests on Dumb Blonde on our first set that we had.
15:31 Speaker 01 I remember that.
15:32 Bunnie XO? Um, showed up, remember we were fangirling? She showed up by herself.
15:36 Speaker 01 Yeah.
15:37 Bunnie XO? And we were just like, wow, man, like she.
15:39 Speaker 01 Yeah, she put her boob on Shelby's head.
15:40 Bunnie XO? Yeah. No, it was great. No, Chelsea is just, she's the sweetest fucking soul. Her whole crew. They're great humans.

You open your closet and have a million things hanging up, but somehow still feel like you have nothing to wear. That's me. And let's be real, half that stuff hasn't been touched in forever.
17:16 Bunnie XO? Instead of letting all those clothes just sit there taking up space, you might as well make a little money off of them. If you haven't used it yet, Vinted is a secondhand marketplace app that makes it so simple to sell the quality clothes you no longer wear and discover unique pieces at great prices.

And once something sells, Vinted creates the prepaid shipping label for you. So you don't have to worry about that part. Best of all, there are no seller fees, which means you actually keep every single dollar you earn from your sales. So instead of letting all those clothes collect dust, Vinted gives you a way to clear out some space, make a little extra money,
17:59 Bunnie XO? and maybe even find something new to love. Give your clothes a second life with Vinted. Download the Vinted app for free to start selling with no seller fees. So you keep everything you earn. Tell me which ones you want to be at. And he's like, no bitch, I'm going to be there for all of them.
18:12 Speaker 01 His crew really was like, we are not putting anything on his schedule. It's been on there for months. They're like, these are the dates, they're going to show up. I love, in Vegas, you had Holly.
18:21 Bunnie XO? Holly, God, she's so beautiful. And I actually got to do Holly's podcast too. So you guys are going to have to watch that when that drops. But yeah, Holly came out, she showed up. She, I think she flew in from Cali to do it.
18:31 Speaker 01 Yeah, Officer Leon.
18:33 Bunnie XO? So sweet. And then I get to, so when I fucked up introducing Papa Roach, I completely spaced that I was having Leon on the officer that arrested me for solicitation on the stage. And he came out and, you know, we talked a little bit about just, he read the report and got refreshed with it. And it was just really cool being able, being able to have the man that, you know, kind of sent me on the path of never wanting to get arrested again. Not saying I didn't, I think I did get arrested again after that. Um, I don't know, I'd have to look back.
19:05 Speaker 01 It was just a life-changing moment.
19:06 Bunnie XO? But it was just a really life-changing moment and. Oh my God, and Bella the Rapper. How freaking cute is she?
19:13 Speaker 01 She is so sweet.
19:14 Bunnie XO? Her and her little squad dude, like I love them. They were so great to work with. They were literally the cutest humans, just, just so thankful and just so sweet and like, man, I would love, if I was touring, I would bring them back out on tour.
19:28 Speaker 01 A hundred percent. I want them. They're homies.
19:31 Bunnie XO? They're so, they're homies for life. Like, I freaking love them. If you guys don't follow Bella the Rapper, please go follow her.
19:36 Speaker 01 It was so funny because I went back home right after and she lives in the area and we were literally crossing past, like she went to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk the day before I went, like we were literally crossing past the entire trip. It was so cool.
19:47 Bunnie XO? I love that. Yeah, no, they're just so sweet and they were just so like thankful and just so like willing to learn. And I mean, they showed up and.
19:57 Speaker 01 She came and performed at your bar right after too?
20:00 Bunnie XO? Yeah, she came and performed at the bar at the after-party at Nashville. Like, they just, I don't know, they were just really, really, really sweet humans. And I'm so thankful that we got to cross paths with them, but Matt freaking Matthews.
20:12 Speaker 01 Crusty.
20:13 Bunnie XO? Oh, little crusty dusty. I love him so much.
20:18 Speaker 01 He's one of my favorite fucking humans.
20:21 Bunnie XO? You get to spend one-on-one time with Matt Matthews. He's very calm and sweet and like just very, I don't know, like his persona online is who he is. He's still that person and he'll snap at you in a, in a heartbeat. But he really is just.
20:38 Speaker 01 A good friend.
20:39 Bunnie XO? He's a great friend, but he's just unintentionally funny.
20:42 Speaker 01 Yeah.
20:42 Bunnie XO? Like, it doesn't matter what, he could be eating yogurt and it's fucking the funniest shit ever.
20:47 Speaker 02 The male Chelsea Lynn.
20:49 Bunnie XO? Yeah, literally.
20:50 Speaker 01 The way they deliver is so good. He texted me a picture of the little cow I gave him like two days ago. It was like a little picture of the cow, like little like Highland cows for tour this year.
21:00 Bunnie XO? It's natural. It's just so natural and we're just so lucky to have been surrounded by such beautiful people. DJ Chill. DJ Chill, shout out DJ Chill dude. He literally held that entire, every show together. He had a playlist. He had introduced every guest, like Chill just did such a good job and I just love him so much.
21:26 Speaker 01 What a great crew. Like our crew was small, but we made it seem like we had the biggest production.
21:31 Bunnie XO? Yeah, work daddy, work daddy fucking, worked his ass off, came through, worked his ass off, helped so much. While still getting clips out and editing and like, oh my God, he did so much. Yeah, fucking, um, Alex, our tour manager.
21:47 Speaker 01 He's great.
21:48 Bunnie XO? No, he's a phenomenal human. If we ever tour again, I would love him to be a part of.
21:53 Speaker 01 Yeah, yeah, I love it.
21:55 Bunnie XO? Yeah, I know, everybody was so good.
21:56 Speaker 01 Possible, literally. Every person played such big roles. There was no role unseen in all of this. And like, I think what was really cool is last night when we went to the Opry, how many people stopped us and was like, that was an unreal show. Like it, it literally was so captivating. Every single person said that and I thought that was really special.
22:16 Bunnie XO? You know what else I thought was really cool is Brylee King and Danae Hayes. They literally came to the show, watched the show and left, didn't want to come in the back. And Jesse Lawless, I'm like, what the hell guys? Like if anybody deserves to come back and hang out with us, it's you guys. You guys are our friends, you know, like, I was like, I text Brylee, I'm like, dude, that means so much to me that you did that. Like that was like huge in my book.
22:38 Speaker 02 She texted me beforehand and she was like, do you think they're gonna let me bring my Sauvignon Blanc inside?
22:45 Bunnie XO? She's so funny, man. No, I was just so thankful. I didn't even know they were there until after they were already home.
22:51 Speaker 01 Yeah, they posted that they were there and I was like, they're so sweet.
22:53 Bunnie XO? I know, just everybody showed up and it was just really cool and just, man, just thank you guys so much. I know we've been talking your ear off about all this stuff, but yeah, so we'll get back to, uh, normal Ask, Tell, Confess.
23:06 Speaker 01 We had one other person show up.
23:08 Bunnie XO? Who?
23:11 Speaker 01 Hold on, can I play it?
23:13 Bunnie XO? Oh, yes. And of course, our most favorite guest of all time.
23:18 Speaker 05 Bonjour, this is Bob. I had fun, I had fun with you guys. Bob out.
23:25 Bunnie XO? Oh, he is such a sweet boy. Meeting Bob out was the best, dude.
23:31 Speaker 01 I love Bob.
23:32 Bunnie XO? What a sweet little angel.
23:33 Speaker 01 They all had magic. He wore you. Like, they literally made a shirt with you on it. And then the two, uh, healthcare workers that he had, had, uh, love you like a ball of cherry shirts.
23:43 Bunnie XO? I know. I know.
23:45 Speaker 01 So sweet.
23:46 Bunnie XO? God, I love him so much. No. I think he got a little shy whenever he met us, too.
23:50 Speaker 01 I did, too. I love him. And then he got to close out the last, or, sorry, he got to close out the LA show.
23:55 Bunnie XO? Yep, yep, yep.
23:56 Speaker 01 So special.
23:57 Bunnie XO? We'll definitely have a clip of that out on social media soon, but, yeah, it was just overall an amazing time. And I'm just so thankful that everybody came out, and to all the guests, to all the, um, people that bought tickets, traveled, everything. I just wanted to take this Ask Hella Confess to give you, you know, just give you guys a recap and thank you guys so much for coming out because you really made my first tour so special. And
24:19 Speaker 01 Hundred percent.
24:20 Bunnie XO? I'll probably never do another one again, but, uh, and only because I'm not a tour, I'm not, I hate being in front of people. I don't like it. Like, my husband is the performer. I am behind the scenes, behind the desk, behind the fucking camera. Like, my husband is, he likes to be out there. That's his thing. Um, and it's so funny because everybody's like, are you ready to tour? You ready to tour? And they even went to Jay and they're like, I bet she got the tour bug. And Jay's like, I bet she didn't. I know my wife. He's like, there's no way she'll do another tour. So I just really, it could have, it could be my final tour. You never know. Like, I just really appreciate everybody being a part of it. And the team, too. Like, shout out to you guys. You guys did such a good job. You guys showed up. I mean, did everything you guys could to make sure that the tour ran smoothly.
25:03 Bunnie XO? And Seb, our videographer also, who helped Andy. Andy killed it. God, I fucking love Andy, man. He is just such a, a major asset to our company. He's actually my husband's videographer, but anytime we need something, I literally, he comes through for us all the time. So The book is out. We have made New York Times bestseller twice. We find out again today. If we make it again, which it is, it'll be five in New York right now. So
25:32 Speaker 01 Yeah, it should be out.
25:34 Bunnie XO? Oh, is it? Check.
25:35 Speaker 01 Is it three? It's between three and four.
25:37 Bunnie XO? Check. Then yeah. So we'll look. But I mean, listen, I'm fine with not being on it three weeks in a row. I've made it two weeks in a row. Number one. So number one audio and number one bestseller. And wow, dude, like, what a fucking crazy ride this has been. It's been just so insane to even think that I'm a New York Times bestseller. If I can fucking do it, any of you guys can do it. Okay. Like this should show you guys that all of you guys can do this, dude. Like, because I, I didn't even write this book with the intention of becoming a New York Times bestseller. I actually didn't even know about it until I think Mimi was like, yeah, and we're gonna try to get you on the New York Times bestseller list. And I was like, oh, you could do that?
26:19 Speaker 01 Happen?
26:19 Bunnie XO? Yeah. She was like, yeah. Did we sold, was it 150,000 or 200,000 books the first week?
26:27 Speaker 01 Right around the 200. Yeah.
26:28 Bunnie XO? Yeah. 200,000 books the first week, and then it just keeps going. And everybody just keeps leaving me, um, videos online of like with reviews of the book. And it's just been kind of a beautiful movement of everybody just embracing this story.
26:44 Speaker 01 Not here yet, guys.
26:48 Bunnie XO? Um, and it's okay. Listen, I'm fine with not being on New York Times bestseller three weeks in a row.
26:52 Speaker 01 I feel like you'll be on the list. What the thing is, is will you be number one again?
26:56 Bunnie XO? Yeah.
26:56 Speaker 01 And so all the new copies will now have the emblem on it that she is the number one. So like, here's the old one right behind her, right next to her will be the new seal. Because like, everything sold out so quick. And like, they were rushing to put things in production. Like, they'd sent us an email and was like, you guys, Amazon called and was like, what is happening? Because it's like, it was selling out so, so fast.
27:18 Bunnie XO? Yeah. Carrie, my publisher, was just like, like, I don't even think she expected it. To do what it did.
27:24 Speaker 01 I got the sweetest call from her right after announcing to you and she called me and she goes, I've done this for 27 years and this feels like a first time for me. And I feel like that's such a compliment for someone that is so seasoned in the industry.
27:35 Bunnie XO? Yeah.
27:36 Speaker 01 To be able to make someone feel like that is very special.
27:39 Bunnie XO? No, this whole experience has been so surreal and just such a beautiful journey. You know, writing that book. I would love to do an Ask Tell Confess where people just ask me questions about the book.
27:53 Speaker 01 Yeah.
27:53 Bunnie XO? So I think maybe we'll do that. We'll, we'll put that on social media sometime this week and maybe after I get my facelift, which you guys are gonna be, uh, so you guys will be hearing this, but it's Wednesday. You guys will be hearing this on Friday. I'll be getting my facelift on Sunday, the 15th. So send lots of prayers for your girl, but I do plan on doing some Ask Tell Confesses while I'm healing. Um, I'm gonna look crazy, guys. I'm gonna be bruised. It's gonna be a little weird. Don't freak out. My doctor is really fucking good. Um, so everything's gonna go great, but, um, yeah, I would love to answer questions like that you guys have about the book. I, the number one question that pops out of my mind that I have been getting is everybody's like, oh, um, there's a picture of you with your mom and you look a lot older than three months.
28:38 Bunnie XO? And I just want to explain to you guys that one, a lot of stuff got cut out of the book. Like so much stuff got cut out of the book. So sometimes timelines seem a little off. That has nothing to do with me. That was editors. Um, but there was a time where, uh, around one years old, my, and my, we're gonna drop the podcast with Bill coming up soon. So you guys can hear my actual story from my dad before he had passed, way before he had passed. Um, but it literally corroborates everything that I wrote in the book. And, um, uh, around one years old, my mom wanted to come back into the picture and she wanted to see me and, you know, my dad. As a dude and probably wanted to see my mom too. And she came back in the picture for like
29:21 Bunnie XO? a very short minute. I think it was probably a matter of days. And we took that picture. Obviously, you can see how far away from my mom I am. Like you can tell I'm not even like, don't even want to kind of be near her. But um, she uh, she popped back in and my dad realized very quickly that she did not have good intentions and didn't plan on being a mom. So that ended very shortly, but I thought it was important to put that picture in the book because that is one of the last pictures I had with my mom, even though I don't remember it. And if you hear my dad tell the story, he says, you know, she left you at three months. I had to find you, took her to court and then she tried to come back around um, at one year old, at one years old in the podcast. He says that. So.
30:05 Bunnie XO? Yeah, but if you guys have any more questions, start leaving them um, below this podcast and we'll answer them. And then like I'll put on uh, our dumb blonde Facebook, we'll do a status over there and you guys can ask as many questions as you want. But I would love to answer everybody's questions that they have about the book. A lot of people keep asking me who karma is. And here's the thing, like, I didn't tell his name because one, I don't, he doesn't deserve to receive a bunch of hate, you know, like this happened over a decade ago. And he could be a changed person for all I know. Um, but two, it's like, I wanted to respect his privacy also because he does have a daughter and um, you know, it's just, there's so many
30:50 Bunnie XO? just sensitivities I wanted to have with that situation. Not that I was protecting him because some people are like, you're protecting him. And it's like, no, I'm not protecting him. I'm protecting his daughter who I love and
30:59 Speaker 01 You're also protecting your own peace.
31:01 Bunnie XO? Still, yeah, still in uh, my life. And again, I, yes, I am protecting my peace at the same time because I'm not out here to rage wars with people. I already have enough people coming against us online, making up absolute, complete, fucking crazy lies. And, uh, you know, the last thing I need is friggin' beefing with my exes online too, because I'm not gonna beef with anybody. I am in my peaceful era, and I have learned, dude, silence is so powerful.
31:28 Speaker 01 So much more powerful.
31:29 Bunnie XO? You wanna believe shit, believe it.
31:31 Speaker 01 Yeah.
31:32 Bunnie XO? I don't care. You come to my page with negativity, you'll get blocked.
31:34 Speaker 01 Mm-hmm.
31:35 Bunnie XO? I don't care. I'll do it, or the team will do it.
31:37 Speaker 01 Don't have time for it.
31:37 Bunnie XO? Yeah, like, just don't have time for it. We have so much good things that are going on in our life that I don't care if you wanna believe lies. All right, guys, well, we will return to normal Ask, Tell, Confess next week, but I love you guys. See you later. I'm going to get a facelift. Bye.
