And, Tom, explain who Hal Pierce was, if you don't

mind.

Oh, that's Captain Hal Pierce.

Yes.

He was the Sea Lord of Mobile.

He was anything Navy.

He would bring Navy ships in, and basically what Pete Green was doing is what Captain Hal Pierce was.

But also talk a bit about the veterans community down here in southwest Alabama.

grinder of a business.

It's glamorous on the surface.

It's so cool to have your name on the side of a bar.

Of course.

Very chic.

Come check out my bar.

I got you guys this tab.

But how did you navigate that? Yeah,

Is that like a bar or a restaurant? No.

That was like our cheers bar.

It was on La Cienega, just north of Melrose.

Let me see if the Google reviews mention the pool.

It just closed down.

Yeah.

So funny, when we opened Schwartz and Sandy's, we loved the location and everything.

back and watch it.

Yeah.

Fucking, uh, cover of, uh, uh, um, the New York Times.

Like, it was crazy, and we had such a good time, me and Johnny.

I actually saw him in the Valley, uh, a coup- like, a couple weeks ago.

I said, "What up?" And we were talking about what-

Oh, this next question actually is great for that, 'cause I said, 'cause it was, um, if you could relive one Vanderpump Rules trip, which one would it be? Only one.

Wow.

One Vanderpump Rules trip.

Right.

Like, just without a doubt.

Um, just wrong.

But, so yeah, I don't wanna say, like, it was lib- I don't, I don't, I don't wanna, I don't want to, I don't want to, like, tear them down to lift myself up.

No, as a viewer, I thought it was liberating for you.

I don't know if it shows.

I d- it wasn't that big of a burden in my life, but it's like, then when, when, when you, you, when you, when you're close to someone, it's like, yeah, the, the, the, [inhales] just the n- the, the negative energy is contagious, and it can be, like, draining.

Um, I wanted to know when the last time you saw Ally Lewber, and what do you think of her decision to find love on The Perfect Match?

I think, I haven't seen her in a long time, not since her and James were together.

But I do think, I think she's got, uh, moxie.

Like, she's...

I think she's got some star quality.

I love seeing her on TV.

She's so sweet, and she has such a good personality, so, uh, I'm a big fan, yeah.

What, uh, what did you think about Lala, uh, not wanting to discuss Scheana on Watch What Happens Live last week? And, uh, when was the last time you saw Scheana and Brock?

Of course

... long friendship we've had, but he's, he'll always be family to me.

That man has done so mu- he was so integral to my transition into LA.

Him and J- well, for, okay, I don't know how much you w- how deep you wanna go here.

But Tom was living with Kristen when I first got to LA, and they were very happily in love, and I became really close with them.

And then, like, a- the way I remember it, it was, like, six months later Tom was like, "Yo, listen, like, we're struggling right now.

Like, what do you think about one of my buddies that I used to model with moving into the living room to help us, like-

Sure do.

Yeah.

That...

You guys, can we s- me...

I was so awkward in the beginning of the show.

I'd like to make a public apology to the audience, the Bravo fan.

I was so...

I've never seen myself s- I, like, I was a happy shell of myself.

We're breaking it down

Mm-hmm.

Traveling the world, which was very, uh, cathartic and, and, uh, and, and I felt by the time I met her it felt like kismet.

It felt like, um, we met at the perfect time, 'cause we were friends before, but it was never really romantic.

We were just, like, chummy.

And, and then she came in town, like, uh, I think it was, like, w- first date was maybe, like, September.

And we went on a date, and then from then it's just been, like, a fairy tale.

Yeah.

Like I honestly just, you guys, like I, I thought about this the other night.

In hearts

... like, okay, early on when we first started, like, really falling in love, like, I, I, I don't know, I kept doing this thing, like, on, on the main stage at BravoCon.

I went out, and they asked me about my personal life.

I'm gonna be on The Valley.

I started gushing about Kianna, and I was like, "She's the love of my life." And then it came out, and I, and I was like, "Oh my God." I was like, "I laid it on too thick.

Oh my.

She's-"

It's interesting to us

What are the signs to look for when we first start dating a guy that he's not being his true self?

That's a good question.

Probably someone who's flexing their financial situation a little too much.

A little too flashy.

Promising them things.

Somebody who's telling you everything you want to hear.

That should be a red flag.

propose? I

life.

I don't want to get too emotional.

I want to have kids.

I want to have two kids.

By the way, one thing I'm really excited about.

I have this idyllic little property in Florida.

It's like three acres.
