bare it all - episode four.
Aria: Hey, listeners! Welcome back to Bare It All! I have a special guest with me today. Y’all might know our history. -laughs; We absolutely hated each other for the past decade until several months ago when we were like, “Okay, enough is enough. We’re exhausted. Let’s join forces.” And that’s exactly what we did. She, who was once my number one enemy, is now my very best friend. Adel Kennedy, thank you for joining me today! I’m so excited for this one. Adel: Hi! It's good to be here! You said it best, enemies to besties. We're a movie scene. -laughs; Thank you for asking me on to hang out with you. I'm a big fan! AW: You better be a big fan of me, bitch! -laughs loudly;
AK: The mouth on this chick is a unreal!
AW: No but really, I’m so excited to do this episode because this is something we talked about since I first had the idea of a podcast. So for y’all that are listening, Adel will be asking me all of the burning questions she wants to ask. Nothing is off the table. I’m, as you can say, baring it all. -laughs again; Also, I might be a little buzzed. AK: Yeah, I think I'm the perfect person to get you to spill your guts...and your wine. -rubs hands together; To everyone out there...I've had two gin and tonics so far, so here we go! -swirls glass;
AW: I’m pretty sure you’re the only one who could ask me all the burning questions and I wouldn’t get mad.
AK: First question. I'll go easy. How many v-cards have you taken? AW: How many v-cards have I taken? Ummm, I think...two? -pauses as she thinks; Yes, two. As far as I know. AK: Two? I'll take it. I'm right there with you. Was it as awkward for you as it was for me? Sh*t was awful. -preps another drink and pours wine for Aria;
AW: -laughs; Yes, it was awful! One of them, though, did know what they were doing. But they were so nervous that it just didn’t blend well. -shakes her head before lifting her glass and takes a sip;
AK: Next..do you believe in prenups? If so, how do you bring that up? I know a wedding is in your future, so lay it on me. AW: Prenups? Hell yeah, I believe in prenups. I think it’s necessary, especially being in the industry. You never know if the person you’re with are with you for the right reasons so even though you’re married, what’s mine is yours and what’s yours is mine. But you gotta have that backup just in case things go sour. -sighs;I do whole heartedly believe Rowan loves me with everything in her. As do I. She’s not with me because I’m famous or have a lot of money. She’s famous, too. I just think it’s necessary and the smart thing to do, just in case. We haven’t talked about it yet, but I’m sure we will whenever the time comes. AK: I respect that, and I agree with you. I feel like it's such a taboo thing that makes people uncomfortable, but it's honestly smart. It's business. I'd like to think the idea of it meaning you don't love someone or trust someone, is a bit dated, or it means that you think they're a gold digger or something. There's nothing wrong with having your own, and then what you share with your partner. I'm all about equals, but I do still believe people out there are shady, so look up for them! -laughs a little;
AW: -nods her head; I’m so glad someone agrees with me! Prenups are not a bad thing - it’s just business. It’s a way to protect yourself because you never know if the person you will leave you, cheat on you, or much worse. But next topic! -chuckles;
AK: Next. I know I joke a lot about your past and where you came from, but what was it like growing up in a trailer? Have you ever gone back to it with where your life is now to just...take it all in, or is that chapter just dead to you now? -takes another long sip, getting comfortable; AW: -takes a sip of her wine before rolling her eyes; Growing up was horrible. I hated living in a trailer park, constantly being surrounded by creeps and addicts and criminals. I hated it! My dad was amazing though. He was so hardworking. He worked three jobs just to provide for me and Jolene. We were close. Jolene, on the other hand, was horrible. She didn’t love my father, Bo, and she didn’t love me. She treated him horribly so when he committed suicide.. -voice shakes; I just lost a part of me and became the worst version of myself. -takes a breath; So when I’m in Nashville, I avoid it like the plague. There’s no one there that I’d like to see. -shrugs; AK: -nods; That's a lot to go through, and I'm glad you got out. You made a good life for you and that little garden girl. You're a pain in my ass sometimes still, but I'm glad you're where you are.
AW: Thank you, Adel. I knew that it wasn’t the life I wanted to live and I was so much better than that trailer park, so I got the hell out of there as fast as I could.
AK: Wait. Do people even know that we're neighbors? -gets excited; That's my next question. How much twisted joy did you get buying the house across the street from me back in Hidden Hills. I wanted to strangle you that day you had the balls to knock on my door with cookies! -takes a long sip; I'll never forget that. Also...to any crazies out there, it's gated, so don't get any ideas! AW: -gasps then laughs loudly; Oh my god! I remember that so much! -laughs; I was such a bitch, coming over all neighborly with cookies and I had to give Eden cookies first to let you know that I didn’t poison them. -laughs again; Oh man, you were about to sh*t your pants. AK: I was so pissed off, and I think I just rolled out of bed, so I was even more pissed that you woke me up. I know your ass brought Eden on purpose so I wouldn't lose it on you completely! Good times.
AW: Oh, I totally brought her because I knew you’d keep it in check. -laughs;
AK: -takes another sip; So, what's the most embarrassing thing you've ever done for a friend? AW: Oh, wow. That’s a tough question because I’ve done a lot of embarrassing things for friends. But I guess one was....you know that scene in Grey’s Anatomy where Meredith Grey lost her panties and it was hung up on the bulletin board and Callie came in and claimed that they were hers? -pauses; Something like that. A friend of mine was seeing someone secretly and she didn’t want people to know so the girlfriend found a pair of panties in her boyfriends car and she was going at her, so I stepped in and said they were mine. And she punched me in the face so there’s that. -laughs; AK: You're insane! I could totally see you doing that. You're a one of a kind ride of die. I like it. -laughs again; Time to kick this up. We all know who Eden's father is - the man's President. So, what are your politics? Republican, Democrat, Independent? A mix? Do you agree with some of his policies, do you not? Bare it all, girl, bare it all! AW: -inhales; Oh, wow, you’re really bringing all the questions in! -laughs; Oh, hold on! -chugs then rest of her wine before setting it down with a clink; Okay! -exhales; Um. On paper, it says I’m an Independent. Only because I don’t really like to stick in one box. But I do lean more towards the Democratic side. I know Theo is a proud Republican and some people didn’t take a liking to that when the news broke that he and I did have a relationship that resulted in our daughter. Especially since I’m engaged to a woman. He has his beliefs and I have mine. He knows how I am, and I’m not afraid to get on to him on some of his policies. Like for instance, I’m pro-choice. I believe women should be able to do whatever they want to their bodies. He listens to what I say because I come to him in a respectful manner. So, we’re respectful about our political differences. We agree to disagree. AK: Amen, sister! -chugs her own drink before prepping another round; I think that's cool, and it doesn't surprise me. You have no issue speaking your mind, no matter who you're engaged to or who's in the Oval. -hands Aria more wine; It's weird how much we have in common. I'm an Independent, too, but I am a bit more liberal when it comes to things. I also think both sides have things to offer. All about that respect. -clinks glass; I'm getting drunk. -laughs;
AW: Yes, I agree. Both parties have their pros and cons, but I’m more of a liberal for sure. -laughs and pours herself another glass; Guys, if I start slurring my words, I so sorry. -giggles then takes a sip;
AK: Okay...if you could name your own sex toy, what would it be called? What color would it be? And...where would it go? -bursts out laughing; AW: Oh my god, I love these questions. Okay! -claps her hands; Own sex toy. -pauses as she thinks; This sounds really stupid but it’s the only thing that I can think of at the moment. It’d be called the Va-Jane. It would be a dildo and vibrator. It was be a very colorful product, but I’d start out with it being a sparkly pink. Maybe even glow in the dark. AK: -bursts out laughing harder; The Va-Jane! I LOVE IT. For people who don't know, her middle name is Jane. She's clever. I'd for sure buy it. -composes herself;
AW: -laughs loudly; That was honestly the first thing that came into mind because nothing good can come out of Aria or Winters. -chuckles and takes a sip of her wine;
AK: If you had to go to college, what would you study? AW: I would probably study something in the entertainment industry. Maybe journalism because I’m always a nosy person and wanting that tea! AK: You are really nosy, but not in the annoying way...well, sometimes. -giggles a little as she takes another sip;Um...okay. What is something you'd lie about? Do you think white lies are necessary? Have you lied about something that still lingers with you? AW: I’ve lied about a lot of things! -chuckles; Most recently, who Eden’s father was. I lied to everyone in my life about it and my relationship with Theo. But in my defense, I was protecting all three of us. Actually, six of us; me, Eden, Theo, Penelope, and their twin daughters. I know things would’ve been differently if I would have been honest from the start, but I...I genuinely thought I was doing the right thing. -shrugs; I used to always lie about my age when I was younger. Saying I was older than I was. -laughs; But do I think a white lie is necessary? Yeah, within reason. Like for instance, if you bought an outfit that you loved and you were so excited to wear it and you asked if it looked good and in my mind, I’m like “it’s not flattering,” but I know you love it so I don’t want to hurt your feelings so I say it is. -laughs; AK: -brings hand up; Reverse! If I wore something and I looked like straight sh*t, you'd tell me! You're always trying to get me in color. Annnywaay. -laughs; AW: -laughs; I would! I’m tired of you wearing black all the time. It’s depressing. Add some color! -laughs again and takes a sip;
AK: I've been getting better! I wore jeans to a few events as of late. I'm saying 'yes' to as many things as I can in 2020. -laughs; What's the first thing you would do if you woke up as a man tomorrow?
AW: If I woke up as a man...oh god, I don’t know what I’d do. Probably walk around the house naked to see how weird it feel to have something hanging in between your legs. Then I’d probably play with it. -shrugs and stifles a laugh; What about you? AK: Get out of my head! I was gonna say that I'd swing it around, piss standing up and then I'd go out into the world and see how different people treated me in our industry as opposed to us girls. You know, all that equality stuff. -pours Aria another glass;
AW: -gasps; Oh, that’s a good one! Go out into the world and see the difference, yes! -laughs and takes a sip;
AK: Gonna bring this back to Creatures: Who would Caroline f***, marry, or kill? AW: Are you meaning out of the show? Or are you going to give me some options? AK: -laughs; Oh duh. Yeah, in Caroline's point of view. Since this is bare it all, I wont give you the three options - come up with them on your own. F***. Marry. Kill.. Now...go! AW: Okay, okay. Um, marry Rebekah. Obviously. Rest in peace, baby girl. -laughs; F*** Dean, and kill Kai. AK: Damn. The Hayley in me wants to murder you right now for that.
AW: -head falls back with laughter; I’m sorry, I had to, but you wanted honesty!!
AK: Next question! Uhm...if you were stuck on an island with only me with an endless amount of wine and fruit from the island, how do you think that'd work out? Would we fight? Would we die? Would we survive? -laughs; Anything goes.
AW: Oh, I think we’d fight for sure! -laughs; Eventually, you and I would get tired of each other and with the endless wine, one of us would manage to piss the other off, which would result in some words and maybe a fist fight. -laughs again; But would be die? Depends, but I’m hopeful we’d both make it out alive. How about you?
AK: -bursts out laughing; Uh...I think once we got sick of each other, we'd put ourselves in time out on either sides of the island, but then we'd get bored of that within a day or two, and we'd go back and repeat every few days! -grins; Speaking of the island, would you rather eat a snake, or slugs for proteins? Who would be the one to make a fire first?
AW: -takes a sip of her wine and almost spits it out from laughing; You know, you’re probably right but I like my version better. -sticks her tongue out then gags;Neither, I’d starve. -laughs; But maybe a snake. -shivers at the thought; I’m terrified of them, I hate you. -laughs; AK: I couldn't let you starve, because if you died, I'd be bored. I'd shove food down your throat. -laughs;
AW: That’s kinky. -laughs;
AK: Too kinky. -takes a breath; Alright, this is my million dollar question. We've kept this secret for months now. How does it feel that we're not only starring, but producing on our new show that we've begun filming? -laughs a little; That's right - A SHOW! -claps; Me personally, I've never been happier, and I'm even more pumped we have something else brewing. We're a power duo. AW: -takes a breath and gasps; Oh my gosh, yes!! Y’all, we have a new SHOW coming out!! I really don’t know how much we can say about it, but that it is happening and y’all will not be disappointed! So far, it’s been so much fun. It’s in a new environment and it’s just... -gushes; I’m honestly so thankful! AK: I'm in the same place. I'm so happy, thankful and even though and it's not because I'm drunk right now, but I love you! 2020 is gonna be our bitch. -raises glass to cheers; AW: I love you! 2020 will definitely be our year, I feel it! -raises her glass and clinks it against hers; Cheers to the best year of our lives! I also have a question to ask you if you don’t have anymore. AK: Yes! Give me the questions. AW: Okay, so it’s a repeat of a question you asked me but out of all the Creatures characters, who would you f***, marry, and kill? AK: I'd kill Katherine, marry Dean, and f*** Derek. -grins; AW: I knew the marry part. -chuckles;Well, Adel, thank you so much for coming over and recording this with me while we’re drunk. I’m sure the listeners are laughing along with us, or at least I hope they are. -laughs;
AK: I hope the listeners enjoyed this episode and laughed along with us! This has been so much fun. I'm so glad you asked me to do this, Aria.
AW: -laughs; Of course! This was fun, and I'm excited for you to come back so we can play a drunken game of Never Have I Ever.
AK: Oh, god. -laughs;
AW: -laughs loudly; That's it for this episode! Stay tuned for a new one next week! Bye!
