You are listening to the reality. Steve podcast with your host reality. Steve, he’s got all the latest info and behind the scenes juice on Jen’s upcoming season of the bachelorette and interviewing some of your favorite reality stars now here’s reality.
What’s up everybody. Welcome to podcast number three 96. I’m your host reality. Steve. Thank you all for tuning in good Thursday episode for you today. We are talking to Stephanie Parker and Jackie Maroney from she’s all batch podcast. We’ve got a lot to go over with them. We discussed their first time ever appearance at the reality.
See fan appreciation party two weeks ago in Vegas. Definitely some stories there that we get into some that we did not get into, but you’ll like what we have to say about their time there. We also talk about Vanderpump rules, the Valley. We talk about. Oh, a bunch of other things. And we’ll get to all that momentarily.
Before we get to Stephanie and Jackie, I do want to talk about what’s on the daily roundup earlier today that was posted a couple of hours ago. And I also want to say this, forgot to mention this on the daily roundup, but if you saw me on Dave Neal’s live stream earlier this week, going over judge modest decision in Arizona favoring Clayton Eckerd in his paternity case against Laura Owens.
Thank you so And I was joined you know, by Megan Fox as well. I’m, I’m going to get with the program and you’re going to start seeing a lot more videos from me. Are you going to see me on YouTube and I’m going to put, I’m going to do live streams. We’re going to have a lot of fun. The first one I will, I will mention tomorrow and tomorrow’s podcast.
I’ll tell you, I’ll give you a preview. It’s either going to be a tomorrow night or Saturday night and this will be live streamed and you know, we’ll You can tip, we’re going to take donations, all that stuff. And you don’t have to, it’s completely up to you, but I’m going to start doing a lot more live broadcasts and live streams.
In addition, once I figure out all the kinks of how this works, I do believe that my Thursday, Weekly podcast, the one where I do an interview with somebody will now also become a video podcast or video on YouTube. So you will see me interviewing the person versus just hearing me. You will also get it if you, you know, if you can’t get to your YouTube, you don’t want to watch it.
That’s totally fine. You can still listen on Apple podcasts or wherever you listen to your podcast. But I did want to say this cause I forgot to mention it on the daily roundup today, but the first live stream will be happening this weekend, either tomorrow night or Saturday night, I’ll let you know.
Tomorrow going to get with Dave, probably invite Courtney on. Just going to have some talk. I might even invite she’s all batch on to, you know, pop in one of them or two of them, and I don’t know if they’re busy on Friday or Saturday night or whatever, Just going to have some fun, answer some questions and stuff like that.
And then in the future, when we do live streams, I’ll probably be using it a little bit more for maybe some spoiler stuff or talking bachelor and bachelorette stuff in the future, any golden bachelorette news that I might hear. I’m just, I’m, I’m joining the rest of us in 2024 and accepting that I need to also do video.
Podcast isn’t going anywhere. It’s still going to be in your podcast feed every morning at 7 30 AM for the daily roundup, 8 30 AM Eastern time for the sports daily, and then on Thursdays, you’ll get your weekly podcast at 9 30 AM in wherever you listen to your podcast, but I am going to add a video element and try and do once I get settled in every Thursday podcast, the weekly podcast is going to be also in video.
So I appreciate that if you can go listen and you can go comment all that stuff, the one thing, the one of the reasons I want to do this is because I don’t have one of those, you know, a lot of podcasts have, you know, Facebook group Caitlin’s got her off the vine group. And I know that other people have their own Facebook group.
I don’t have that because I don’t have the time to monitor it. I don’t want anyone else having to be the moderator for my Facebook group. I’ve just realized that. Of all the podcasts that I do, which is 11 a week, five daily roundups, five sports dailies, and a weekly, I just don’t have anywhere for you, the listeners to actually interact.
And hopefully you’ll be nice to each other. Hopefully it can be a place where you can give your thoughts. And I’ve just never had a place like that. Well, now with the Thursday podcast, you’ll be able to, and on live streams, you’ll be able to, and I just felt it was something that needed to happen.
Obviously Dave’s been doing it for a while. He’s been telling me, Steve, you got to do this. And I’ve just been reluctant because I’ve never been a video guy. I don’t like being on camera. I don’t like being on TV, but I have to accept it. And this is, you know, the wave that’s, you know, another way to earn, you know, some sort of income stream as well.
So why wouldn’t I do it? I just have to put aside my hatred for being on camera. And we’ll just, we’ll just go with it. We’re going to be working out the kinks tomorrow night or Saturday night. Seriously, my first time doing it, I’m sure I’ll screw up a few times and stuff like that, but we’ll definitely have have some fun, maybe even have some drinks while we’re doing it.
So anyway, I just wanted to throw that out there and let you know what’s coming anyway on the daily roundup posted a couple hours ago, Laura Owens wrote another blog post and. You know me of what I’ve said for the last few months. I was like, she needs help. She needs to get taken care of. She needs to go see somebody because this isn’t normal behavior and she needs help.
And I want her to get help, but you know what? I’m pretty much done pleading for her to get help because when she quadruples down and quintuples down and writes blog posts like she did yesterday, if you want to read it, it’s on medium and I have the link to it in one of my tweets from yesterday. You can’t miss it.
So go to my Twitter account and check that out. But she’s clearly never, ever, ever going to admit that she’s ever done anything wrong. And she’s never going to admit that she’s put three guys lives through hell. It’s always their fault. She’s the victim and I’m, I’m done with it. As I said, back in January to her and my last correspondence with her, Laura, I’m going to let the Arizona courts decide your fate.
And they decided very heavily against her on Tuesday. And I know that her lawyer thinks, Oh, we’re just going to win on appeal. It’s going to be so easy. I mean, Okay, well, we’ll see again. I’m gonna keep my mouth shut in terms of whether or not I think they’re gonna win an appeal because I don’t know enough about the court system, but he’s so confident They’re going to win just know that if they don’t win we’ll be saying the same stuff that we’re saying now, you know, I Think that Clayton will probably win an appeal from base from the people that I’ve spoken to in the legal world They don’t really think Laura has much of a case here, but you know, her lawyer thinks that he’s the greatest thing since sliced bread and he never loses.
Even though he got his ass kicked by wood neck in this case. So we’ll see what happens. I, I, I don’t know what else to tell you because this guy. Is really a piece of work and he’s quite delusional. So that’s on the daily roundup. I also Mike Maracini, the first victim of Laura Owens spoke out on Laura and Megan on Megan Fox’s YouTube channel yesterday, but please go check that out.
I want you to listen to Mike Maracini, listen to his story, listen to everything he says about Laura and his relationship with her eight years ago, and then let me know if you actually think this guy is just making a bunch of shit up and you believe him or you believe Laura. 99 percent of you are going to believe Mike Maracini and feel terribly sorry for him and what he went through.
I also bring up what happened a couple of days ago in regards to Dave Neal and what he said in regards to bachelor nation, not supporting Clayton. And then someone in bachelor nation took him to task for that. I go over all that. I don’t want to fan the flames on it, but I give a pretty strong opinion about what I thought about how that all went down.
And no shade to anybody, no hate towards anybody. I just think it could have been handled differently. And then I talk about the fact that a story haven’t gotten due for a couple of days. Lala Kent tells the story again of how she lost her virginity and the weird guy that she was with that took her virginity.
So go check that out on the daily roundup. This podcast is brought to you by quince. Whenever I’m gearing up for my next trip, I don’t know what to pack sometimes.

All right, let’s get going. Podcast number three 96. Okay. Let’s bring them in. You’ve heard them, I think on every podcast and bachelor nation in the last week. So here’s another one. We are talking to Stephanie Parker and Jackie Maroney from she’s all batch ladies. Thank you for coming on.
Hello. for having us.
Okay. So as a lot of people know, you guys attended, we’re going to get first things first out of the way here. You guys attended the fan appreciation party in Vegas. What was it already two weeks ago, one week ago, wherever we’re at, we’re coming up on two weeks ago and it was your first experience.
So I have specific questions, one for each of you just to start off with. So I’ll start with you, Stephanie.
Okay. So,
Is your tummy okay? You feeling, you feeling all right?
I was, so who, who outed me? Who told you? You
know, stuff, stuff flies around, you know, I mean, I was there, I mean, it was, you, you were not there.
Well, I wasn’t there in there with you, but I don’t know what, I don’t know what it came. Oh, I would say, I guess I can probably guess where it came from. I didn’t realize it was that bad. Did you just have something bad to eat mixed with whatever you drank or did you be honest
It was a little bit from, like, the night pro Like, it was more a hangover.
I needed to, like, get rid of the hangover. And, and, yeah. It was more hangover based than it was. Like, I wasn’t, like, super sick in the moment. I, I was just really hungover.
So you never took any, like, any of those like hangover drinks or drink enough water the next morning or whatever?
I know I did it, but we should have, but I didn’t, we all, what we did was actually that morning we continued drinking, so that’s right.
That morning was the whole thing where you went to the the Caesars for breakfast, right? That was that morning. Okay.
Yeah. And I was doing everything in my power to get rid of the hangover. Like Bloody Mary, Frappuccino, I don’t know what else, a few other things. You literally
had every beverage.
It was like Bloody Mary, Mimosa, a Frappuccino, a water. Nothing was hitting. Nothing was hitting. You
had all that the next morning? That Saturday morning? That’s what you had to drink? To
try to like, to try to like get rid of the hangover.
We also
then went into our hotel room and recorded, like we recorded for our podcast with Courtney.
We recorded for Courtney’s podcast. And we probably each had a bottle of wine. That was prior to meeting you at your cabana. Yeah. So, it was a morning. Yeah, so no judgment. For
sure. Yeah, no judgment whatsoever. So my question for you, Jackie, is Is Jax now in your phone contacts as Jax, or do you put them under a fake name?
How does it work here?
I wish yeah, for, for, I guess for people to catch people up who don’t know, we did end up meeting Jackson Tom Schwartz cause they were having some party very close to, or basically in our hotel at A pool that was like right nearby and Courtney knows Jax from back in her modeling days.
So that’s kind of how we got connected with them and we met them and they were both really nice. But unfortunately, I think He probably does not remember meeting me. I’m sure he met a lot of people that day and so We’re not really on a first name basis, despite the fact that we low key kind of have the same name.
Yeah,
it’s so, yeah, because Jacks and Schwartz were a quote unquote guest bartenders at the Daylight Pool at Mandalay that day, which I just saw online. It’s Brittany and somebody, it’s either Brittany and Not Kristen. I don’t think it’s Britney and Kristen. Britney and somebody are gonna do, are doing the same thing in like two weeks at Daylight.
Oh, shut up, let’s go back. They’re doing
the whole guest bartender thing. If you go on their Instagram, I’m sure you’ll see it. It’s Britney and somebody, somebody from the Valley. Or it might be, actually it might be someone from Vanderpump, I can’t remember.
Yeah.
Maybe it’s like Britney and Katie or, ah, shit, I don’t remember.
But Britney definitely is doing it. And so yeah, it’s a thing, obviously. I mean, I’m sure, I don’t know what the pay is, but my guess is,
We do. We know what the pay is. Oh, can I guess?
Can I guess?
Sure. Yeah.
I want to say at least I, I, my guess is 20 or 30 grand to do that.
Confirm your answer. Is it which one?
I’ll go 30.
Nailed it.
Oh, it is. Okay. Yeah. I mean, they’re not going out there for five grand and 10, no 15. I 20 would, I would have been like, okay, I could see them doing it for 20, but literally four hours. To basically just drink and party and get paid 20 or 30 grand. Like, of course you would. Why would you turn that down?
now, and now I’ve started following Jax. I mean, I’ve always liked him on the show and stuff, but I didn’t follow him. I didn’t care enough to, but now that he was a in person acquaintance, I followed him on Instagram and I realized that he does these types of events like every other day. So if he’s literally bringing in that kind of money for one event, I can only imagine what this guy’s bringing in.
On like a monthly basis.
And if he’s doing an event like that almost every other day, you can also see why his marriage has deteriorated in front of her.
Yeah. Well, Bernie’s doing it too. They could have just done them together, but yeah,
it’s, it’s really it’s quite an interesting quite an interesting duo.
It doesn’t seem like they’re getting back together. It seems like this might be the end of him, but I don’t know. We’ll find out, I guess, on season two of the Valley. Speaking of the Valley. Did you by any chance listen to my podcast a couple days ago where I talked about the dream that I had?
Oh, you told me about the dream though
Did I tell you about it or I just told you I had one and I was gonna explain it on the podcast
You explained it and didn’t you say Kristen Doty asked you to join the Valley?
Yes,
I’m gonna be on the Valley season 2 according to my dream cuz Kristen Doty was recruiting me hard to be on the Valley So what happened? Well, yeah, so that was the but you know how sometimes in dreams people are You get not only just, it’s just obviously random is the fact that I was being recruited by Kristen Doty to be on the Valley is random enough as it is, but then weird shit starts happening and just random stuff.
You’re like, what? This is so weird. So basically in the dream, she recruits me to be on the Valley and then it actually like happens and I’m sitting there and one of the reasons why we were kind of bickering and going back and forth is. I’ve shown on my Instagram account, I’ve got three flat screen TVs in my living room for, for sports watching purposes.
And so my big deal was whatever place I was moving into to be on that show wouldn’t fit my three TVs. And I’m like, this can’t happen. I can’t move in here cause I don’t have my three TVs. So we’re bickering about that. And then God, there was something else that I told him my podcast and now I’m completely blanking on, but Yeah, oh, oh, yeah, I was out at a bar like filming had actually started somehow that got the whole thing about the TV’s got you know Was over and done with.
And so I had actually started filming season two and I was out at a bar and producers are getting mad at me because I just had nothing like, I was like, well, I don’t know what you want me to do. I don’t, I’m at a bar, you’re filming me. And I was like, they’re like, come on, you got to have some sort of drama.
And I was just like, I got nothing. And they were getting mad at me. So I’m apparently I wouldn’t be a good cast member on Valley season two, anyway, according to my dream. Like, I didn’t bring any drama. No, not good enough.
Oops. You got to bring ratings.
I know I just was I guess was terrible I couldn’t I like it was just I was like literally just talking to people at the bar and they’re filling me and they’re just like The guy behind the cameras like gesturing like come on dude.
Come up with something. I’m like So, yeah, that was my dream I guess I’m not gonna be on the valley season 2 However, I did get an email yesterday and this is actually legit. There might be a possibility. I could be on an online Online Reality show.
Trust me.
I had the same question myself. I’ve seen it before in the past.
And I was like, so I asked some questions and it’s, it’s something that intrigues me. This is, this is something that’s not going to last for a. You know, two weeks, three weeks, something like that. This is literally like something that’s done in a day, but it’s a, a, it’s something that has happened online before involving reality shows.
I’ll fill people in. It’s not, it’s not something huge, but I did get emailed about it yesterday. Anyway. Wait what?
Okay. . I was like, I wasn’t enough information. I know. Tell us anything. I
know, I just, it just came up last night and I just realized by saying that it was just, no, it just, like, it’s like a big brother online, but it’s, but I
don’t get how it’s.
Is it so it, like, airs online, but if it’s a Big Brother thing that can be done in a day, they film you just, like, in your house?
Yeah, I guess it’s all done. Like we’re all like, we’re all on a zoom or it’s done on discord or something like that. What’s discord. I’m not, so, I don’t know what
the gamers do.
Okay. Yeah. It’s, it’s either done on some sort of platform where we’re all, and it’s going to be like, they told me they’re trying to get all reality people. And it’s basically a game of big brother played in a couple of like two or three hours over the course of one night. And the challenges are basically just trivia or mental challenges.
And then you vote people off. You can actually pregame and speak to people and whatever. And I was just like, yeah, could do something like that. It’s a few hours. Like I said, like, it’s not a, I don’t even know if there’s a prize, but so something I might be interested in doing. They, they contacted me last night, so that might be fun.
I don’t think so. I mean, they didn’t, they didn’t mention it, but you know, for two or three hours of my time just to do something fun like that, I might, I might do it.
Okay.
