Hi, hi, gorgeous people all over the world from our fast-growing cat kingdom.

I hope you guys are doing amazing.

Today's interview was so, so much fun.

Obviously, this episode is for people that love the show Vanderpump Rules.

If you follow the scandal of all last year, if you're a fan of Bravo, this is amazing.

I went to Sur in West Hollywood to interview the manager and start of the show, Peter Madrigal.

And everything that we see on camera, everything that I thought about him, it's even a million times nicer in person.

He is so chill.

He's so sweet.

He's so professional.

He's so down-to-earth.

And yes, he's insanely, insanely good looking.

It was fantastic.

And I am so grateful for Peter.

And of course, for Sir.

for allowing us to film there.

I'm putting the audio episode out and I'm going to put video episodes on on Spotify and also on my social media platform.

So, I really, really hope you guys enjoy this really fun episode that I did with Peter.

And Peter is the kind of person, celebrity, that I love interviewing because we were talking about it.

So many people that want to be actors, that want to be on TV, the minute they get a job, they become so bougie, so snobbish, and everything.

And I love meeting people that are like, you know, nice and real and keep it simple.

And Peter is just absolutely amazing.

I hope you guys enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed doing it for you.

And before my interview with Peter, our usual little disclaimer, if you're new to Cat on the Lose, you are entering a 100% organic zone.

This podcast is not scripted at all.

It's never ever edited.

It's just my style.

I like to keep it very real and very organic.

These are real conversations in the real world.

We take it out of the studio it's not a canned podcast and we put it right on the streets where my guests actually work live socialize so for example today

we asked uh if we could do it at sur because peter is such a huge part of sur he's such a huge part of under pump rules and he asked um his bosses he asked the owners of sur and they're like sure so it was absolutely amazing to be right there so the videos look great i hope you guys enjoy it if you like more perfect uh sound engineering and background music and all that beautiful fluff that a lot of podcasts do, you're probably not going to enjoy Carol and Luz.

But if you do like real, raw, organic conversations, this might be just for you.

If this is your first time here, welcome.

Thank you so much for listening.

If you enjoy, please, please, please subscribe, tell your friends, because this is what keeps us going.

And I am so proud, so happy, and so humbled to be on the top 0.5%

podcasts on Global Ranking by Listen Score.

And it's all thanks to you guys.

I know we have listeners all over the world.

Muntos, Bejos, Bezos, Bezus, all the kisses in the world in all the languages.

And I hope you guys enjoyed this episode with Peter.

I had so much fun doing it.

Peter, thank you.

It's such a pleasure having you on Cat on the Loose.

Thank you for having me on.

I appreciate it.

I know how busy you are.

I follow you on social media.

And I'm like, I have to say, I'm very, very honored.

Very honored.

I appreciate it.

And I know you're not going to believe the first thing I'm going to tell you, but I swear to God, it's true.

When I was, I watch Vertica on and off.

I'm not a huge TV watcher, but of course, I try to keep up because of the podcast.

So, when I started way back then, when the show started, I was watching a few episodes in the middle of the chaos.

You show up, and I thought you seem like the most grounded, mature adult.

I've heard that so many times, actually, over the years, over the decade.

It's been since what 2011?

So, over the decade, I've heard that

be my main descriptor.

Is that true?

Or not?

Yeah, it is, actually, you know.

I mean, otherwise, I would not be managing this fantastic restaurant that we're sitting in.

It is fantastic, by the way, guys.

If you're not in the LA area, because I get asked that a lot, and you come here, definitely put on your list top of go to the place because it's gorgeous.

And then you'll, more likely, you know, it's a 70%, 80%

chance you'll see me, you know, because I can't work every day.

So it is true, you do work here.

You still work here.

You are the manager at store.

Because a lot of people think it's all bullshit.

So that's true.

But what I was doing.

You go on my Instagram, you'll see me because I just repost

everybody's pictures when they take pictures with me and when I'm working.

Yeah, I know.

It's so cool that you do that.

You're like, so you're very approachable.

You're a super cool chill guy.

So when my team was like, okay, to God, I started interviewing these people because they're like one of the top-rated shows.

I don't know if it's the top rated on Bravo.

I'm like, okay,

top of my list is Peter.

And I swear to God, because of that, because I felt like sometimes they were arguing, kicking, and screaming, and you show up like super chill.

Like, okay, people.

Like, it was almost like you never let anything around it affect you.

Is there your personality or

grounded?

I'm extremely grounded, actually.

I know, you know, I don't know how...

Spoiler alert, but it's not really a spoiler alert because I've talked about this before, but I don't really watch the show.

I don't watch it.

You know what I mean?

You never watch it?

No, because I was just kind of like...

I love it.

I don't want to see, you know, if I see myself, I'm just like, well, why was that?

Why did I look like that?

Or why was that put in there?

Or I don't know.

It gets weird.

So I'm just, you know, I just leave it alone.

So, you know, with my, what, what I've been told by everybody else, it's like, oh, yeah, you, you always look the best.

And you always, you know, what you say, where you, you come in and you're, you kind of like break up the fights or whatever.

And I'm like, well, that's very much me, you know.

In real life, you're like that.

It's not a character.

I'm grounded.

You're extremely grounded.

Yeah, you don't let anything rattle you.

Like, even in your personal life, like, let's say, I don't know if you have a girlfriend, if you're married, but let's put that out there anyway, because a lot of people are.

No, they're not girl, no girlfriend, no marries just yet.

My team, we were going through the DMs because when I said you were going to be on the show, we were literally getting dozens and dozens and dozens.

And my team started running through it.

So I think out of

ten questions, nine were like, is he single?

Is he married?

Okay, so he's single.

But when you are in a relationship in your real life, are you like that as well?

Like super chill?

Yes.

Yeah, super grounded.

I always try to be, you know, I always try to be as grounded as possible.

I don't know if,

I mean, I think part of it is because I'm the eldest, I'm the firstborn, the eldest of seven.

You have seven brothers and sisters?

Six, yeah.

So seven including,

yeah.

Where are you from originally?

Texas.

Texas.

How long have you been here?

Since 2005.

So it's a long time.

Oh, yeah, no.

I'm a Los Angeles.

Yeah, yeah same yeah so but yeah my parents were roman catholic and they got married and got busy

that's a lot of sickness are they all in texas uh so i live with two of my brothers right now um you know and we all work together on some stuff and i work you know mainly with my brother jude on a couple projects that we're working on right now i did uh a lot of the like the clemato stuff i did last year and the weight watcher stuff i'm doing this year uh he does the all the editing and the filming and all that stuff.

Wait, what is the Weight Watchers thing?

I didn't see that.

So the Weight Watcher...

You didn't see that?

No.

Yeah, it's on my Instagram.

Like, actually, you know, it's funny.

It's not for you.

Yeah, well, no, I mean, like, I sold.

I designed a bunch of cocktails for Weight Watchers.

Ah, that's

awesome.

I need those, like, skinny cocktails that don't make us fat.

Yeah,

I designed six cocktails for Weight Watchers.

Oh, that is so cool.

That's one thing that, you know, like, I don't really talk about, but I am a mixologist.

I know that.

I've seen that on the show.

I definitely want to talk about the cocktails and your favorite ones.

Yeah, sure.

But every girl in the world wants like a fantastic skinny.

Yeah, so with all of my cocktails, I mean, I had like

I had two that I did with

tea.

I think she's coming in right now.

It's okay.

Okay.

No worries.

This is totally 100% organic.

It's real life.

Sounds good.

Yeah, my.

so I had two that I did with tea and then I did one with all of them have all of my cocktails they all have

what do you call it natural fruit.

So all the sweetness that you're going to get from the cocktails

is all from the fruit, the sugars from the fruit, etc.

I love it.

I don't really use.

Should we shut that door?

Is there a door open?

There is.

Should we shut it?

Let's shut it.

Thank you, Emma.

So we are inside SOR.

The restaurant is closed, but there is some noise, I don't know, from outside.

So the cleaning crew came in with some stuff and they left the door open.

Thank you.

And there's some construction going on outside.

But it's like I said, it's real life.

People love it because I don't bullshit.

Okay, so you make all these cocktails with real food.

Yeah, so all of the cocktails, what they have,

I didn't use.

The only sweetener.

that I actually used on a couple of them was honey.

I love that.

So like half a teaspoon of honey.

But you don't need more too much too much sweetener really really kind of destroys the tree especially if it's a good fruit right yeah so on my on the on my peter rita weight watchers edition i used

i did i did use

i did use uh a little bit of honey i like there's two versions of it honey is optional I like the version with honey, but you don't have to use honey and it just tastes as good.

So I used, on that particular one, I used mango and

those those red little peppers.

Oh, yeah.

Ooh, I love those little red peppers.

So you cut them a little bit, cut a couple of slices of that.

Oh, wow.

Throw that into the blender.

You make like a juice

with the mango and mix it with the red pepper.

That sounds really good.

It is fetched.

Okay, wait, what time does the bar open?

Well, I don't make them here.

You can't make it here.

Well, I'll have to bring the ingredients in.

That's something for you.

I don't know if you know anything.

You must know because you're a mixologist, but I'm from Brazil.

And the typical Brazilian drink is the chaiperina.

And this is what I love about chaperina is that they make it with real fruit.

They basically squish whatever.

But lime, sometimes mango, sometimes pineapple, whatever.

It's super fresh.

And I don't know what you're saying.

Yeah, cachaça is like, but you can make it with vodka.

And I love it because, yeah, the fruit is so sweet and you don't have to

crap in it.

You don't have to use a simple syrup.

You don't have to use, and that's the one thing.

I mean, with the

clemano cocktails that I did last year,

I actually designed a couple of different simple syrups for it.

So I, you know, it's easy to make a simple syrup at home.

You just use the water and the sugar.

But then on one of them, for instance, I called it the bichelata

because I did a bunch of michilatas.

And the bichelada was, I used a ginger simple syrup.

Oh my god, where do we find all this stuff?

Does he have a link or anything with this review?

Yeah, you can go on Klemato's website.

You can go on my.

Okay.

I'll have to.

I have a but I did a bunch of videos

for it.

I can show you some, yeah.

I'll put all these links and his Instagram and everything on my social media so you guys can find him.

But let's backtrack the start a little bit because everybody wants to ask about the show and everything that happened.

But you were here at Sur before the show, correct?

Can you tell us like how you ended up here and how long were you here before they came and offered the show?

So, uh, I so in 2008, I graduated from the University of Southern California, home of the Trojans.

Yay, go Trojans.

Yeah,

they're doing pretty well this year, actually.

They're going hard, right?

I know.

I love it.

Caleb Williams, you know,

we finally got another Heisman Trophy winner on our squad.

But anyway, so

I graduated and I was kind of looking for a job.

And I was working at this place called Clomonica, which no longer exists on Sunset.

They closed it down right when I started working here.

And Guillermo comes in, one of the owners of this establishment.

He comes in and we start talking.

He's like, you know, you should work at my restaurant.

Now, I didn't put two and two together.

Okay, because at the time,

there was another person that was working here that happened to be, because I was kind of, we were kind of, I was kind of living in a frat house.

It was a two-bedroom apartment with five dudes.

Oh, my God.

Well, you were super young.

Yeah, I was super young.

I was directly out of college.

That's what guys do.

Yeah, exactly.

We're trying to figure it out.

You know what I mean?

So it was was myself uh paul my brother paul and jude our adopted brother zeph and then this other guy named arthur okay have you ever seen the movie pineapple express yes okay a long time ago but i did watch it so there's an opening scene with ebber heard

and you guys should have seen the face he made now

and seth rogan and they're in this the hallway of the of the um

of the high school right and this guy this kid this redhead kid comes over and he's all like, oh, don't worry, I'll take care of it when we get to high school.

He's like, all right, Tech was up today's dick, right?

Slaps Seth Rogan on the shoulder and leaves.

That was my roommate, Arthur, at the time.

Oh, really?

So he was filming that movie

while he was living with us and working here at CERC.

Cool.

So at the time, I asked him, hey,

I want to change things up.

I'll be a buster, whatever.

And he was all like, yeah, yeah, you know, Sir is looking for some.

And again, I didn't put two and two together.

So I'm walking around the corner here on Melrose in Robertson, and Guillermo's working with the curtains, and I'll never forget it.

And he was all like, oh, hey, yeah, you're hired.

Come on in.

Get to work.

And it's basically how I started.

So

you started as a busser.

Yeah, I know.

I read that.

And it's such a beautiful story because you're a kid fresh out of college.

You start as a busser and you worked your way up to the point that you became manager.

Yeah, so I also knew how to bartend at the time.

I already knew how to do that.

I dabbled a little bit with it in college, you know, so I had been bartending at that point for a few years, actually.

Now it's going on almost 20 years.

I've been bartending.

You must make a house.

Yeah, exactly.

And that's why I get hired for certain jobs, going back to, you know.

So when they came, when Bravo came and said, we're going to do a show here, were you already a manager?

Yes.

When the show started.

So you've been with the show from the very beginning.

Since the inception, yes.

But in the beginning, they didn't show you that much.

They did, they showed me, apparently, they showed me a lot.

But I did a podcast, I was on Kristen Dodie's podcast.

Oh, I like her a lot.

She has like such a strong personality, right?

She does.

So, I so we recorded her podcast at my place.

Okay, and then uh, and they actually, you know, it's funny, is there was a

picture that she and I took outside of it was like a TikTok that we did outside right outside when we came in,

and uh, that kind she put on the green dress from some episode or something.

I can't remember what season it was, but you know, she put it on.

And it was that day that we did her podcast.

So I'll have to look up the exact day that we did, we recorded it.

But she was all like, Peter, you're the unsung hero.

You're the main character of season one.

I don't know if you know that.

I gotta go back and watch season one again.

I was all over the place.

Like, I was, I was, like, literally, like, I had, I remember managing the place, and I remember Stasi coming over to me and being like,

um,

uh, Lorelee's in my section.

Why is she in my section?

I was like, first of all, she came in first, someone needs to take that section.

We got customers here, go do something, get some work, yeah, you know, okay, so let's rewind for the people.

I know they're gonna ask all this question.

They come, they offer the show, and you said yes, no problem.

I'm gonna be on hair.

Did you think, did I mean, because now it's it was, well, 11 years ago, right?

A decade ago.

Over a decade ago.

Do you, like, at the time, did you think, like, oh my God, this show is going to be so successful?

This is crazy.

Or you were like, whatever.

I didn't think,

here's the way I put it.

So there was this other manager that we had at the time.

She came up to me, and I'll never forget it.

She came up to me, and she was all like,

Peter, why are you doing it?

you know, because apparently, like, everyone, I didn't want to be an actor.

You know, I did it, but I didn't really want to do it.

I don't know.

I was just kind of like gave up on that.

And she came up to me and she's like, you know, I can't believe you want to do it.

Blah, blah, blah.

I was literally like, well,

if it's moderately successful, that'll get me to the next level of where I want to go.

Yeah.

If it's just, if there's just a little bit of success, it'll get me to where I need to go.

You know what I mean?

And then...

And then it blew up.

It blew up.

And then everyone's all like, oh, I should have done it.

I should have done it.

It's like, yeah, you should have done it.

So how did it work?

Did they hand the people that were

Lisa picked a bunch of people?

She picked myself, she picked Jazz, she picked everybody that was here.

Everybody that was working here already.

Yeah, we were all working, yes.

Okay, so

everybody, like I said, Stasi, all those people were all employees of Surah.

Yes.

Because there is a lot of talk, I don't know if you see it on social media, that oh, it's all stage.

These people are actors, they pick them because they're beautiful, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

So, can you clear that?

Yeah, I can clear it right now.

I work here i've been here since 2008

and every single person with the exception of tom schwartz worked here so what how did okay we are gonna have to jump on that but how so he never worked here no he was just dating katie oh really katie worked here oh yeah yeah so because they put him on such a huge part of the show It wasn't until around season two, but it's because he was dating Katie, though.

Oh, so he never worked this.

So what does he do?

What did he do before?

Matter.

Mactor.

Ah,

for anybody that's wondering what a matter is, it's a model actor.

Which is very common here.

Actually, no, now everyone wants to be either an Instagram, TikTok influencer.

Now, no one wants to be a Mactor anymore.

Now everyone wants to be a TikTok Instagram influencer or a reality show.

Yeah, well, thanks to

Von Der Pong.

There you go.

But in LA, you know, there's this old joke long before you, that every waiter in LA, they're like, I'm not really a waiter, I'm an actor.

I'm an actor.

Yeah.

Now we kind of developed into like, yeah, I'm not really a waiter, but I'm on this.

I'm a personality.

Oh, my God, that's so funny.

I'm a personality.

Okay, so the initial cast, everybody was working here, including Stasi.

Yeah.

And then after.

Her section

was main room one through six.

And she was dating.

I was trying to remember everybody's name.

I was like doing a lot of homework.

Jack was a bartender here.

So he was a bartender.

Yeah.

And he was really mean to her and all that chaos.

Yeah, there was a lot of chaos that came from that.

But that was like real life.

That was the calm of the chaos.

Yeah, you were the calm of the chaos.

But the shit that they were filming, it wasn't like a script, was it that they were reading?

It was really, really happening, and they were rolling the camera.

Yeah, that's why, and that's why we were picked over Villa Blanca.

Because Villa Blanca is very chill.

Well, yeah, but we had, I had, I had to deal with chaos.

So, okay, so let me ask you if if it's true okay they're they're fighting they're dating each other because normally in the workplace you're technically not supposed to date co-workers

that's that's not a thing it's not a thing yeah you can date a co-worker because you know like how some companies they because they don't want chaos they're kind of like hey yeah but you're not but but you're not going to be able to just tell people what they can and cannot do okay you know what i mean it's like that's kind of like invasive true i like that but i a lot of companies do believe it or not yeah I understand that but I mean it's like so what are you gonna be guarding the bedroom I know okay so these people are dating and they're on a reality show and they're fighting and they're gonna they're bringing all their drama into work did you ever think like oh my god I gotta fire this person it's too much

Actually, yeah,

I remember in season three, we had a meeting over there, and it was James Kennedy and Kristen Doty who ended up getting axed.

Actually, James fought his way back in, but Kristen Doty ended up that season getting axed.

Oh, yeah, so she did get get fired.

Yeah, she did.

What did she do?

She insulted Diana.

So Diana and I managed this place together for over a decade, and she actually just

resigned back in the beginning of June of this year.

Diana was the blonde one.

The brunette.

She was from Bulgaria.

She didn't.

She came out in one scene.

It was the one scene that got Kristen fired.

It took place actually right over there.

And it was when Kristen was all like, and even to this day, Kristen was like, I can't believe I told that to Diana because her and Diana are very good friends.

She was like, Flip the dick, Diana, flip the dick.

And that's on the show.

Oh, she said that?

Yeah, she said that.

And it was like a huge, because I can't remember the situation.

I think it had something to do with Miami Girl or whatever with

Tom Sadival cheating and something along those lines.

She's like, back on now, I'm not even going to get into that right now.

But

so

that happened right over there.

And because of that,

uh,

not only being disrespectful to a manager, but also

uh being loud at your place of work and not, you know, yeah,

yeah, yeah, she was axe.

I love her because I like her personality, but I thought she was a little unhinged sometimes.

Well, yeah, like you know,

people grow up, I guess.

Do you think most of them grew up, or because I like to, I like to think so.

No, no, well, Jax grew up yeah right he got married yeah to the what's the Britney she so Britney comes from where is she from she's from a lot of

Kentucky so here comes this girl from Kentucky in the middle of this chaos Los Angeles na na na na and she asked for a job here right yeah and who did she ask for like you or

Jax went directly to Lisa on that one ah okay yeah so she got hired because of Jax basically and they decided so is he was he here?

Did he ever get fired or he was here for a while?

No, he kind of like to resign too, you know.

Okay, so he resigned but he never got fired.

And then he got back together with Brittany.

How was she?

Does she did she work here for a while?

Was she a good employee?

She was solid.

She was a solid employee.

She she, you know, she

All I ask from all the servers is to make sure you're on top of your tables and make sure that your tables get water refills and get the drinks.

Because see, like when you when you when you get people refills on drinks when you ask them what they want other you know that's more money in your pocket you know because it's a higher tip right and people appreciate that you know yeah trust me i was at dinner last night

and um where i was at uh this place called alma alma i haven't been there yet

and uh the waiter was uh was pretty you know on top of things you know what i mean that's how you're supposed to be right

i i wanted you know of course it started off kind of shaky because i was like where's my drink where's Where's my cocktail?

Right.

And it took a while to get my cocktail, but then finally, like, he started up.

I have to say, I have to.

It was my first night drinking, actually, in a while.

I cut back a lot of the.

I mean, I still drink a little wine, but it's not like.

I only drink wine and very rarely a cocktail.

And I have to say, this is God's Honest.

I live like five minutes from here.

So I have been, because many times I have friends around the town and they want to see certain.

And I never ate here, but I've been to the bar, sat around here for many, many times.

and just my experience, people, the servers are always on top of it.

Like, I've seen this place packed,

and you know, many times you go to these places in West Hollywood and Beverly Hills, and yeah, you're waiting there forever, even other bars that I'm not even gonna mention because I don't want to cause problems.

But and here, the few times that I came, they're like all over you, like, do you want to appetize, doing this, doing that?

I noticed that you have like a super fast staff, so this is this is 100% true.

I never try the food, maybe I'll come next time.

I have friends.

Well, I have to, you know, you have to kind of like make sure that everyone's doing their job.

Yeah.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

And a lot of

the staff actually gets it.

I mean, they understand, especially after doing it for such a long time.

They're like, okay, got it.

Yeah.

So at this point, all the people that were on the show,

they left.

Nobody works anymore, just you.

Just me.

So that says a lot about you.

Like, you're the first one standing, and you're the last man standing,

and you keep your cool throughout the chaos.

You don't care if they date, it's all like a complete night.

I mean, well, you go to any restaurant, though, you go to any restaurant, a lot of the staff is dating as it is.

Yeah, I mean, I did not know that.

Well, I mean, my mom was a restaurant owner in Brazil, but I mean, it's I did not know that people date a lot.

Have you ever

worked at a restaurant before?

I worked, like, when every time I would go visit my mom, like, I would spend a month there, two months, and work at her restaurant.

restaurant.

Maybe it was like older people or stuff.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Okay.

Hey, guys, make sure you enter the room dick first.

Blue Chew isn't just a tablet.

It's a cheat code for your crotch.

Stronger, harder, longer-lasting.

Just like around here, I just watching the show,

I was thinking, me, Catherine, like that's why probably I would never be able to be on a show like that because I avoid conflict and drama like crazy.

And I probably would not want to date someone that I'm working with because of that.

Yeah, because

before I became a manager, I dated Stasi, and that was a nice day.

Oh, you did date Stasi?

Yeah, that was way back in the day.

That was 2008.

Before she dated Jack?

Yes, yeah.

That was 2009.

So that was a long, long time ago.

It's a long time ago.

Did you date anybody else on the show?

Katie and I made out one time.

Before she got married,

yeah, they made it into a bigger deal than it were.

They did before she got married to Tom.

But were they dating?

Uh-huh.

And so just how they made it a bigger deal than it was.

What do you mean?

Like, they get a lot of money.

They made it sound like as if we hooked up and had sex and all this stuff.

Oh, so you didn't have sex?

It was just a few little kisses.

Ah.

Well, they have to, they kind of get the scenes and they package in a way to make it more exciting.

Yeah, why not?

Because that's what I'm saying.

But

I can talk about it now.

It's like,

how many years removed now?

Geez, 14 years removed.

Yeah.

You know, it's a long time.

Yeah, it is.

Okay, we're going to take a two-minute break.

When we come back, I want to talk a little bit about Lisa von der Pomp.

We want to ask your opinion about her because I got tons of questions.

Like, how is she HNI?

Is she a BHE?

I'm sure it's tough as fuck dealing with a restaurant this big.

Like I said, my mom owned a restaurant.

It wasn't this big, and I know it's so much drama, so many of that.

And I want to ask you about the, we have to ask about the scandal of all the chaos.

we'll be right back this is a super fun caron deluze we are filming live a gorgeous sir with this incredibly nice incredibly handsome incredibly talented guy peter madrigal thank you we'll be right back

For those of you who listen to Caron de Luz often, you know that I talk a lot about the importance of taking care of our bodies, our mind, and our soul.

And I really, really believe masturbation and seeking pleasure is such an important part of wellness.

This is why I created Praziris sex toys a few months ago.

Praziris means pleasures in Portuguese.

They are the sexiest sex toys ever.

A lot of them are miniatures, super cute, super discreet, very, very powerful, and very, very fun for happy, healthy, fulfilling sex lives.

And I think one of the biggest dreams that I have with this project and the podcast, not only we open up conversations about these topics that are taboo for so many people, but

I also feel that we are opening up the conversation about women normalizing talking about masturbation, normalizing using sex toys alone or as a couple or with your partners.

It shouldn't be dirty.

We shouldn't be ashamed about it and we shouldn't be embarrassed about it.

I hope you guys check it out.

The toys are super cute.

And even the miniature ones, like the lipstick, I love it so much i use it pretty much every day they're tiny but they're mighty they're super super powerful check them out on prazidis toys.com p-r-a-z-e-r-e-s toys.com on instagram same name prazidis toys and i hope you guys enjoy it the more o's the better

Okay, we're back with the super, super nice, fabulous.

Yeah, he's very good looking.

You're welcome, girls.

Go look at all the videos on my social media.

And you're nice.

You're just nice.

Because I gotta tell you, I've been in this industry on enough my whole life.

My father was to be produced, blah, blah, blah.

I grew up on sets.

I used to do

people, most people, when they get a TV show or something, they become like so bougie and like, oh, talk to my agent, talk to my man.

I'm like, okay, sure.

But you are so down to earth.

I appreciate it.

And it's been a long time.

Any tips?

Like, you seem like you're just a stealth.

You know, you don't let anything affect you.

You're You're doing your job.

You look amazing.

You are on TV, but you're just like so chill.

How do you do that?

I don't know.

I think it's just the way I,

I guess it was my upbringing, maybe a little bit.

I never let anything kind of

make me feel like this if, oh, I'm better than everybody else.

But no, I don't.

I don't know, you know, just because it's like, okay, I've on TV for 10 years.

Well, okay.

I mean, it's not that I'm not downgrading that as a huge accomplishment.

Yes.

That is an accomplishment.

Yes.

However, it's like, I always, the thing is, is that I've always, I always treated, and this is something I tell the producers on Vanico Rolls, but I've always treated it like a job.

Because it is a job, right?

Technically, it is a job.

Yeah.

And you have customers watching you.

Yeah.

You know what I mean?

Yes.

So as long as you're able to entertain them

and make them feel something or make them feel happy or sad or whatever.

Whatever works,

that's your job.

Yeah.

And that's the way I've always seen being on television or doing anything.

It's like, oh, I want to have fun with this situation.

So, yeah,

I've never really just, I've always kind of stayed grounded as far as that's concerned.

I love that.

I've never been like, oh, oh my God, what do you mean?

And it's interesting that you said that because that's kind of how I approach what I do.

Obviously, TV needs drama.

That's why the show becomes successful.

But certain situations, certain people, certain episodes, I feel they cross a line.

Like,

I mean, just the behavior, how they make themselves look like a total asshole.

And for me, I cringe a little bit when I watch.

I think you're not the only one.

Because I'm like, oh, girls, please, you can.

I don't think you're the only one screen.

I cringe a lot.

So let's talk about Scan the Hall.

We all cried for Ariana.

We all wanted to murder Tom, I think, the entire country.

Thank God she's doing amazing.

She's laughing all the way to the bank.

I think she got rid of a douche.

Sorry.

I don't think he deserves to die, but I think he's a douche.

No apology needed.

Can you, you know, you know them?

Because you guys were friends, right?

Can you give us your opinion about the whole thing?

I think it's a very unfortunate decision by certain people.

Namely, one that starts with a T and the other starts with an R.

But, you know what?

I mean, like, you're looking at how many months removed.

Yeah,

I think that

as long as

Ariana moved on, that's a good thing.

You know what I mean?

Don't dwell on this.

Right, right, right.

So, yeah.

Yeah, so, okay, I gotta ask you.

They showed a scene on the show that you went on a date with Raquel or Rachel.

Rachel.

Was that before the

affair with him?

Was that?

I mean,

I tend to think that they were already hooking up before my date with her.

Oh, so it was in the middle of them hooking up?

Yeah, I honestly think that they were hooking up way, like, yeah, even before that, you know.

Was she working here?

No.

Oh, so she wasn't here?

She hasn't worked here in a long time oh okay

so you just you were friends with her yeah she hadn't worked here in a long time she had uh left the she had left the job

and um yeah uh

there was a reddit post that said that she was making out with tom

at coachella last year right

and so everybody automatically thought it was schwartz because schwartz was already getting divorced you know what I mean?

So

once that was hoisted, yeah, but the thing is, is that Tom Schwartz was not a Coachella.

And so that April, yeah, that April, we were all in Vegas for the opening of the Venipum Paris.

Which is fabulous.

And I had, yeah, it was so pretty.

It's so pretty.

And, yeah, Tom admitted that to me.

Tom Schwartz admitted that.

Yeah, I wasn't in a Coachella.

I was like, well, that's weird.

But why was Ariana when this is happening?

I don't know.

Oh, my God.

I don't know what the circumstances were for that, but I do have the

opinion that, yes, they were cooking up.

So you invited her on a date after Cochella?

Actually, we had talked about going on a...

We went on a date.

Were you really close friends?

March.

March.

I think March of

last year, 2022.

Okay, were you really close friends?

Not really.

So you really just

kind of,

I was just like, you know, know, like, being a guy,

seeing what's up.

Okay, so nothing like...

So you just let someone on a date.

Where did you, did you go to La Boem?

We went to this.

So

when I first invited her out back in March of 2022, it was Tarone.

And then all of a sudden, I saw a Des Mois post.

Like, someone sent me a Des Moir post, like, ooh, Peter and Raquel were out on that day.

I was like, oh, Jesus.

So you went on more than one date?

Yeah, we only hung out a couple of times.

Ah.

Nothing, nothing.

But you let the cameras

film that one date.

Like you guys were having dinner.

Yeah, we went on.

So there is a split.

Yeah.

I knew because I'm half French and it's one of my favorite places in LA.

I've been to dates there.

And I'm like, oh my god, they're like

so you picked it.

Yeah, it's a nice spot.

I love that.

So I love that spot.

I love the old school French vibe.

I love the burlesque show.

I think the food is really decent.

I've never seen the burlesque show.

Really?

You got to sit indoors one time and they have this really cool.

I know it's a little cheesy, but I think it's really cool.

Like, it reminds me of being in Paris.

Very cool.

That's why, so when I saw the tape, I'm like, huh, this guy knows how to make a date happen.

Yeah, I do.

But it didn't seem like, I don't know, she started crying.

And I felt like she wasn't into it.

And I didn't feel you were really into it.

And I don't know if they just filmed, they showed on TV that one part that was a little

weird.

I was into it.

I mean, at that point in time, I think I was into it.

I mean, I'm trying to think back and see where my mindset was.

You know, it's very interesting how a year can, like, kind of remove you from everything and just like, and then the way your mindset kind of grows and changes in that year.

Yeah.

Of course.

I am a very different person, especially what I'm working on right now.

I'm very, I'm very changed.

I'm not the same.

It's not, it's very interesting how things can really, like, you know, certain events in life, you know, scandal pieces can really, really change oh my god your view on people oh yeah totally you know because after that and then some other stuff that's happened to me with the not directly with the cast but indirectly with the cast or

old members ex members of the cast who have i think come back recently oh yeah uh kind of affect your reception yeah and cause you to re-evaluate all of the relationship you've had for the last 11 years oh my god yeah we evolve we grow right we change Yeah, and a lot has changed for me, especially in the last six months, you know, since this whole thing broke.

So it's March, April, May, June, July, August, September.

Seven months.

Yeah, it's been very crazy.

But after that date, then they showed a few scenes.

Like, I don't remember the details, but she's like talking to a friend, like, oh, yeah, I mean, we're not going to date.

And then, yeah, we're going to date.

And then there was like a dialogue, the choice of you.

And you kind of were like, yeah, no, let's just be friends.

And then she was upset

because because uh i remember i looking back on it it's like lisa comes and tells me you can't be dating the staff and i was like well she would she's not on the staff you know but she's just barely so she thinks staff shouldn't date yeah yeah well no no no management

and i've never dated the the staff as a manager uh-huh you know what i mean so

So she came up to me, she's like, you can't date the staff.

And I was like, well,

first off, she wasn't, but okay, cool.

Sounds good.

And I was getting drunk that night.

It was the daily mail party at Schwarzenegger.

Yes.

And then afterwards,

Raquel came up to me and was all like, you know, thank you so much for everything.

But, you know, I think we should stop, you know, hanging out or whatever.

I was like, cool, sounds good.

And it's mainly because of what Lisa told me two seconds prior.

Otherwise, you would have dated her?

I mean,

you never know.

I might have, like, looking back on it, would I have pursued don't know

I'm just kind of go with the flow yeah type of dude over here so I don't know if I would have pursued or not but

Lisa you know she told me can't do it cool awesome done yeah love

yeah I've been I don't like saying anything bad about anybody I think obviously she needs major like life coaching.

I think she's a little fucked up in the head.

So I'm not a psychologist.

I don't want to

say that.

Exactly.

We don't know.

So I just hope that, and I think the backlash was brutal.

It was brutal.

Brutal.

And I'm not defending anything, but I just think it was a little too much.

Like they were getting death threats and

nasty male.

I think it just went way above what it should be for that situation.

And we all make mistakes.

So I'm just really hoping she's doing amazing.

She's doing well.

Me too.

Like, I think, I hope that she's doing good.

And I hope that everything, you know, know, she's kind of come out of this craziness.

Yeah, same, same.

That's what I hope for.

And obviously, we now know that Ariana is doing amazing.

She's living her best life.

She's going to be on Dancing with the Stars.

So she's laughing all the way to the bank, which I totally think she deserves.

And I don't know anything about Tom, but I also heard that they were backlashing his business, right?

His bar.

And I think that's crossing the line.

I don't know what's going on with that whole situation, but

yeah, I kind of,

like I told you earlier,

after I, because it was one of the main focal points of my life,

you know, because I did go on a date with her, so, you know, we were kind of like,

I was exploring that situation, you know, last year.

So

once this whole thing broke, you know, it was part of like, I went very, very, I was very vitriolic.

for a minute there.

And it's not really my character, but I was like, you know what, screw this.

You know, because I just was like, no, this is bullshit, you know.

But then, as time progresses, then you're like, okay, go back to being

chill.

Everybody comes.

And it's like, you know, and that includes myself.

I love that.

You are very chill.

Let's talk a minute about Lisa because, of course, I got a lot of questions about that.

Is she a cool boss?

Is she cool?

Because there is, I, all I know is from watching the show.

I think she's an incredible lady.

I'm a huge huge dog I'm a dog mom I'm a dog fan I support shelters I think her work is insanely fantastic yeah but that's just from an outsider how is it working with her oh no she's she's an amazing boss you know is she's uh she's always been very encouraging of uh everything i do with um you know with the way I run things here.

So yeah, she doesn't really, she knows that I know what I'm doing.

Let's put it that way.

She doesn't have to come here.

Sorry's in fantastic hands.

Does she come sometimes?

Yeah, the last time I saw her was, I think,

back in August, August of 24.

I can't remember the exact date.

But yeah, it's right with the last week of August is when I last saw her.

Okay, so she comes and goes every now and again.

Yeah.

Amazing.

Now,

before I let you go, how about the show?

Are they doing another season?

When is it coming back?

So we finished filming season 11.

And I don't know.

That's freaking crazy.

I don't know.

I don't know what's going on.

You do.

You have a smark on your face.

I do, actually.

You can't tell us.

I can't say anything.

Oh, my God.

That means yes.

That is, it's coming back.

That is, it's coming back.

And okay, now, let's say it comes back because the show started, everybody here was an employee.

Now you're the only one.

So do they still shoot around, sir?

Do they bring those people here or it developed just into this show about your life?

okay so they come up with situations to make the cast come here

is that how it works i'm not entirely sure what you mean people come in and eat people come in and eat and they come in come in and eat at sir yeah so you don't want to spill anything about what's coming up you can't anything else about your personal problems anything fun

exciting going on for you

so

I got something that I'll be announcing very soon.

That you can't talk to us about first.

don't want to talk about it.

Yeah, I can't say anything.

You're all over the place.

There's a couple of things that I'm going to be announcing in the next coming months that I can't really...

Okay.

Can't really talk about at the moment.

Is it TV related?

Yes.

Oh, wow.

Okay, so girls, stay tuned because there is some more exciting shit going on.

And you have, I saw, I really liked it.

You have your own cool, like, little clothing line merch on your Instagram.

That's kind of cute.

Numberoneguy.com.

What does that mean?

Number one guy.

Are you the number one guy

you've never heard that line before no

that's how clueless that people think like i do let me let me i do a sex dating and relationship podcast and this is why i'm single because i'm completely clueless let me help you here let me help you please help me enlighten me i have no idea what's going on

I need all the help I can get.

Even Aaron, my friend, that came here with me to help me.

She's laughing.

This woman knows nothing about dating.

Number one guy.

Ah, now I remember.

Oh my gosh, yeah, okay, I missed that one.

So

you're kind of like, yeah, I love that.

Now I remember.

It's like, okay, like, who's the number one guy now?

I got the website.

Yeah, now I'm going to.

I got the good one.

So it's N-U-M-B-E-R.

So it's not the numeral one.

Yeah.

G-Y.

And it's not Jacks.

I heard that he's opening a bar bar somewhere.

Yeah, he's opening a bar in

the valley, somewhere over there.

I don't know if we're going to go between Surah and the Valley.

I think we're going to stick here.

Keep coming to Surah.

People don't want to see you.

So it is true.

You work here.

You're not bartan.

Because a lot of people ask, does he still bartend?

Does he make drinks?

No, no, no.

So

two Sundays ago, was it two Sundays?

Three Sundays ago.

Three Sundays ago.

Was it three Sundays ago?

I can't remember.

But it was, yeah, it was three Sundays ago.

I had to step behind the bar because we were down a bartender.

Oh, okay.

Yeah, it was bad.

It was, it was the Memorial Day.

Was it

Memorial?

Labor Day weekend.

It was Labor Day weekend.

It was a packed house on Sunday because the next day, I mean, you know, it's a day off.

So we were down a bartender and I had to jump back there and bartend.

But it's only like special

circumstances that I, you know.

But in general, you are around here, like almost every night

I manage every pretty much every night.

I

My usual schedule is Thursday Friday Saturday morning for brunch and I'm here all day and then Sunday night

So what is the if someone never came here and they want to see the place is there one specific day or time they recommend we were talking about the brunch off camera Saturday nights are crazy awesome.

Yeah

Let's see here Friday nights can be cool too, But all those nights you can find me here.

Because it's not just a restaurant, by the way, guys.

It's a lounge, right?

I'm looking at the lights up here.

So this area that we're sitting here, this gorgeous bar at night, it becomes like a lounge.

Yes.

People dance, they stand up, they party.

It's super cool, right?

Sometimes we have a DJ here.

Sometimes, I mean, it's not a dance forum.

No, but

when I come here with my friends, I'm like standing at the bar and there's always great music.

It's like a loungy atmosphere.

You don't have to come here, like, have dinner and go home.

You can actually come here with your friends and join and have some drinks.

And lounge around.

Yeah.

What's his name?

The DJ.

Oh my god.

He's going to kill me.

James Kennedy.

Does he DJ here sometimes?

Yeah,

he does his event every other Tuesday, I think once a month.

So he's still here every other Tuesday.

Yeah, so he, what was the last time he came in?

Not this past Tuesday, but the Tuesday before.

Oh, okay.

Yeah.

So he went back and showed Lisa's good graces.

He's a DJ here.

Amazing.

I think I covered all the questions.

You are super cool.

Thank you so much.

You're very well.

Such an honor.

Let's shake.

I want to come back and try one of your drinks whenever you make one for me.

And we'll definitely check.

Yeah, I want to have one of those sugar-free drinks.

You're amazing.

Congratulations on all the success.

And I can't wait to hear about your new project.

Peter Majuga is a super fun cat on the loser.

We did it live from Sur.

I highly recommend this place.

It's really gorgeous.

Lisa did, I don't know who decorated it, but it's sexy.
