00:00The thing about BravoCon is that it just reminded me or really hit me for the first time
00:06how amazing the Bravo fans are.
00:08I mean, they're like up there with Taylor Swift fans.
00:12Their loyalty, their devotion, their memory of details.
00:19And it was such a good vibe there.
00:21I just wanted to meet everyone.
00:23That's all I wanted to do.
00:24I had to do some panels, but I just would have preferred just to meet the fans.
00:29I really feel that in some way, like the fans manifested it.
00:32Oh, yeah.
00:33I mean, they really, because everyone was demanding you to come back.
00:35We've been praying for this.
00:36I really felt that after.
00:39But, you know, I went home and then Andy called me like a week or so later.
00:45He's like, hey, you're in town.
00:46Let's get coffee.
00:47So I was like, oh, it's so nice.
00:48Because, you know, I really reconnected with Andy.
00:50And especially at BravoCon, like he's just such,
00:55he's just so great at what he does.
00:59And to see what he built.
01:01Like, no one's done that.
01:02No, it's incredible.
01:03I mean, maybe Disney as a studio has built that kind of loyal fan base.
01:07But other than that, what network has a loyal fan?
01:09To compete with Disney and Taylor Swift, that's a pretty good place to say.
01:12Well, I think Bravo's the only network that really has that kind of fan base.
01:16And it continues to grow.
01:17Yeah.
01:17So I just thought, oh, we're having coffee like old times.
01:21And that's when he asked me.
01:23Honestly, I thought I was, I thought, I said this,
01:26but I thought he was going to, for some reason I thought,
01:28oh, he's going to ask me something.
01:29And I thought he was just going to ask me to be on that show, Love Hotel.
01:32Oh, Love Hotel?
01:33Love Hotel.
01:33Okay.
01:34Would you have said yes?
01:35No.
01:35No, no.
01:36So I had prepared, I had watched like the trailer or something for that.
01:40I think Luanne was on it.
01:41Oh, yeah, she was.
01:42And I was like, oh, God, there's just no way I can do this.
01:46No disrespect.
01:46But it just, it was my vibe.
01:49So I just thought it would be a fun coffee.
01:51I was really shocked when he said Roni.
01:54Was it an immediate yes or did you have to think about it?
01:56No, it wasn't immediate.
01:57No.
01:58It was like 50, 50, 50.
02:00Okay.
02:00Maybe like 60, 40.
02:02No.
02:02Did you talk to any of your OG ladies about?
02:05Okay.
02:05Okay.
02:06There was another thing.
02:06I didn't talk to anybody.
02:08I don't go to people for advice about big life decisions like that.
02:13And I knew this was going to be a big decision.
02:15You know, and I thought, you know, my life has unfolded pretty well on my own.
02:19I'm like, you know, I keep my own counsel.
02:22So I didn't tell anyone.
02:23I also didn't want it to get into you guys.
02:25Right.
02:26Right.
02:26I'm like, yeah.
02:26We'll see you guys next week.
02:26We'll see you guys next week.
02:27Bye.
02:27Bye.
02:27Bye.
02:28Bye.
