"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Yes. Thank you.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Yes. Yeah. My dad came to America, to Salt Lake City, Utah, when he was 17. My mother came when she was eight and they met here as young adults. We were all born here. And, you know, it's great because my dad came here with... one suit that someone loaned him. And someone asked him when he came to America, well, where's your stuff? And he said, this is it. That's all he came with.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
He didn't even have a toothbrush till he moved here. My dad didn't have shoes till he was 11. So we were raised very humble, but I thought I was rich because my dad worked hard. We had a nice house. He drove a Cadillac and I thought I was rich. I always wanted nice things because I loved girlish things. And My mom passing away, like I didn't even have mascara or lip gloss around the house.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
And I loved all things beauty and fashion. So, but yeah, I have seven siblings. We're all still here in Utah, very close. I have a very tiny family. My dad comes from a family of 10. So I have the whole big fat Greek wedding history. huge family and the community, the Greek community here is also really tight. So like I was immersed in all things Greek. We Greek danced.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
My dad, you know, even though Salt Lake was, you know, really a stronger Mormon population when we moved here and we were the only like Greeks in our neighborhood for miles surrounded like by Mormons. We love the Mormons and they were very supportive of our family. But we still kept our Greek culture going strong and continue to go to our church and keep the traditions going.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
And, you know, family is everything for me because I always say part of what's probably been my success on the show is I have a strong sense of self. I have a strong identity. And you really have to have that and to be authentic. And I've enjoyed sharing more of my family, letting people see me more as a whole this season.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Well, Heather reached down. She said, hi, Angie. It's Heather Deans. That was her name. I mean, I hadn't seen Heather in a while. And she said, I'm referring you for this show for Fabulous Businesswomen. But nobody told me it was Housewives. So when I interviewed, I was like, yes, this is correct. And I mean, I was like in my business suit.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
And I was not giving any inkling that I was Housewife material because they didn't tell me what... what show I was interviewing for. So I was just not very fun and playful, just being definitely really professional and probably more uptight. But they had already cast the six girls when they found me. So they circled around to me around season two.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
And that's when I just kind of like, you know, I made an appearance. Heather invited me to her event and she was super supportive. She again followed up with production and said, you guys have to like circle back around to Sean and Angie. And then they did. And I came on slowly, which I think is the hardest way to come into this group and on this show. Yeah, because they don't really welcome you.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
It's like, we're going to haze this girl. We're going to prove she's a fraud, that she's a money launderer, that her marriage is a sham, that everything about her is fake. It was unbelievable for them, I think, that I really was successful. And I thought, I do check the boxes. I'd love to be on this show. I wasn't expecting to get blindsided.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
I thought I was coming on because I was aspirational and sharing my life and my business. So, I had to fight and, you know, Mary said it best to me. She said, Angie, like they try to take you out. She's like, you rebounded, you came back and like, you slam dunked.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
And like, I had to, I had to work really hard to like show up on the trip and have people boo me for showing up uninvited, which is the episode I was on with you going on Watch What Happens.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Thank you. You know, that's what I had to say. Like, you know, that was one of the most iconic dinner scenes. And I guess if I wasn't there, they would have just been getting manis and pedis at the hotel. So thank God I showed up and crashed. Right? Blew up the party, as I say. But yeah, it's like, I think for me, I've had to work for everything in my life. And you know what?
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
I had to really work hard to get to not just start out as like coming and showing up to a party from guest to friend, but... to going full time and then winding up center and first turn next to Andy. Like I worked hard for all of this and that is the story of my life. So I have to say it's been hard, but it's, it's worth it. And it's more worth it when it was harder to get where you are.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
And also having been the underdog, I think it sends a great message. I heard Brittany was on watch what happens live. And I've only seen the clip cause I was in Canada, but yeah, And Andy asked her if I should have sat in first chair. And she said, no, it should have been an OG. And I just said, Brittany, girl, dream big. Because if I didn't sit there, then you should never sit there.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
And like, I've always been a leader, not a follower since I was a kid. And I'm a leader in my business. And you know what? I wanted that center. I wanted to sit next to Andy. Yeah, if you're going to be there. Yes. If I'm going to be an underdog and then make it to the throne, like I'm so proud of that and I'm going to enjoy and revel in the moment.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
So I think that the message I'm sending to anyone is you can start at the bottom. You can be an underdog and wind up in the center. And I hope that that inspires Brittany that she's entitled to sit in that chair one day, too, if she gets absolutely together with her hair.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
That made me sad for her to hear her say that. And he said it's not about being an OG. So I felt like he backed me there.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Yeah.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
I love this cast. It's like every person on this show is perfect. And I think coming back, it will be even better because I know you evolve with time. You learn from watching yourself, your friendships strengthen, your connections to the women strengthen, and they become deeper, which makes you have a better season because...
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
you really fall in love with some of these, not all of them, but you really, I mean, you become a family and you can be more truthful. You can be more honest. You can stand on all 10 toes. I mean, everyone gets better every year. And I would, well, not everyone, but most of us, but the cast is like all star. And that's why Salt Lake stays winning. I think everyone should come back.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
And I think Bronwyn did a great job. I think she still needs to figure out who she wants to be friends with and where her loyalty lies. And you can't be friends with everyone on this show. And the sooner she figures that out, she'll be winning because she's still trying to be friends with certain people, even if they dogged her.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
And like, you don't that, you know, you have to be confident and know that you deserve real friendships and not beg people to like you. Like, find your friends, hold their secrets. You can't tell everything. You know, that's been something that I think she's going to watch back and realize like she's made some messes along the way.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
And I think it's because she was being friends with whoever was in front of her. And I think now she's going to learn that you don't do that, you know, because then you're backpedaling and you have a big, giant mess to clean up. And there's a little more of that to come with her. But I think she's a smart woman. And by next season, she'll figure it out.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Well, and like, you know, being on a trip and she'd be in everyone's room talking about everyone. But her goal was, I'm going to be friends with everyone. But if you take information from room to room, you're not friends with everyone. And that will come back and bite you in the ass. And I don't think she realized that. All you got to do is watch yourself one season.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
And again, she's smart and hopefully she'll never do it again. But I like to know that I can talk to someone and know it's not always going to go somewhere. Right.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
That's why you've got to find your friends and stay loyal to them. Like to me, I think it took me a minute to really break out because I wanted to be a good friend and I wanted to be loyal and I didn't want to cross lines. But I think like you called me a slow burn.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
It's better to establish, sit back and observe people, understand people and how they work, establish real friendships and real roots. And then you can... be yourself more because you have more understanding of the group. If you come in and kind of blow everyone up and start talking about everyone to everyone that that's going to blow up on you.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
And I didn't know that I just did organically what I felt and being a good friend and being integral and like wanting to, I wanted to stay on the show forever. as my real self, as a good person, you know, and not like blow people up or ruin lives. That's why I'd rather talk about high body count than be like digging in DMs and trying to ruin people's marriages or businesses. Like that's not fun.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
You know, I want to bring the fun to the show. And how did I get onto me? I mean, we were talking about Bronwyn. How did I turn this on to me?
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Well, thanks for saying that because I love that you guys are my fans, stans, because that made me feel like, oh my God, I am a good housewife. When I heard you guys like it.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Are you? Oh, my. Are you serious?
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
I am winning. Oh, my God.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
I can die now. Thank you. Wow. Okay. Well, to answer that, in the moment when I'm fighting with Meredith, my blood is boiling. I'm in fight or flight. I mean, it is so intense for me. And when you watch that back, like when I got kicked out of the bat mitzvah, for example, or when she yelled, you can leave. I mean, I was like...
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
It doesn't translate on camera what I'm feeling inside because, you know, she had me in tears and look, I know that I was inappropriate with my tits hanging out and saying the D word and saying the F word of her bat mitzvah, but like, um, her I mean, but I do have to go back to like, you can leave when she told me to leave. I'm like, I'm not leaving. I deserve to be at this table.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
I deserve to be on this show and I deserve to be with this group. And I stood down and some of the girls told me no one's really ever stood up to Meredith like that. And that's why she can't stand you. And it was hard for me to do that because she's an OG. And while it's my city.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
in her mind it's her show it's my city and it's her show right now that's an interesting take on it so you believe you you believe that you are more salt lake than meredith marx i as she's not from me i born and raised in these streets i mean i mean for real i am so passionate you're a pillar of the community god damn pillar
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
But, you know, it's funny because when that happened, I mean, inside, I was just like shook and really deeply. And it felt like she was bullying me, trying to yell at me to leave this event. And I'm sure she had her reasons for saying that I'm not perfect. And then when she did it to me again at the Bob Mitzvah, I'm telling you, I'm in fight or flight. I'm like shaking inside. I'm furious.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
I'm emotional. I feel like crying. But when I watch it back and when people like redo the scenes, like I let that partying cry for three days. It was so humiliating. It was so cruel. It was so demeaning. And to me, and I just felt like, are you really trying to do this to me again? Like,
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
like making like it felt like she was trying to make fun of me and then i i felt totally set up you guys and that was why i cried forever after that because i said when she said why are you even here that was like like you invited me here and you brought me here to humiliate me and what you just said is obvious that you want to humiliate me and now you're kicking me out and it was so hurtful because
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
I would never, I treated her like gold when she came to my home. I told my daughter to make eye contact, smile, welcome her in. I mean, I would never kick anyone out like that. It doesn't matter what the circumstances. So I couldn't relate, but watching it back, it doesn't feel as dark as it did in the moment.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
And seeing like, like Ether Opal recreated with Barbie, seeing Andy last night on, seeing like these big time people.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Julianne Moore and like Anderson Cooper recreate it. Now it's like they are bringing light to this moment. And that's who I am. Like I am so funny in real life and I love to make people laugh. So to see this be recreated and bring laughter to people, it softens it for me. And you know what? She is a good sparring partner for me. She's a lawyer.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
She went to law school to learn to argue, but I am a damn hairdresser, beauty school graduate with street smarts.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Don't count. That's what I say. It's like, girl, you're a lawyer. You went to school to learn how to argue. I learned in the streets. I learned in the streets of Salt Lake. And so I just had to cringe. That's right. Exactly. So I just had to laugh because I thought, I am a good sparring partner for this woman.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
She may not want to admit it, but like I've kind of taken her out pretty good for being just a little old hairdresser. So look, I think there are some real feelings between us that are not good and we don't really like each other. So we have made for probably I've heard from, you know, some people that we are probably the best feud in Housewives history.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
We're kind of in a better place as you saw after last episode.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
I don't want to continue to do this with her. But, you know, we're definitely very different. And it probably I mean, you guys must agree that it makes for looking back and being able to laugh at it now. I can see that it does make for for a good housewives feud and for good laughs.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Oh, and you know what? And let me add drunk drawn. Like he's hilarious. I just want to give credit to all the people. When I rewatch this stuff, it softens the blow. And, you know, you don't remember sometimes that I had no idea that would become so funny to people. And that made me happy. And that made it easier to rewatch. And you never know how people are going to take things back.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
You're right. When like, you know, last year having to watch rumors about Sean, that was hurtful. I didn't love that for my family and for Sean and my daughter and his parents are mine. You know, that, that was hard, but this was a little more funny and, uh, lighthearted watching it. But in the moment it cuts so deep and, you know, Heather called me every day after that. And I was sobbing.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Like I could, I was on the verge of tears for three days. So, um, As it's happening, it's so deeply hurtful to feel like you were set up or someone brought you there to make a mockery of you. And then, you know, watching it and that's where the editors are just magic, like the music and the, like you said, the little dings and all the stuff that can make it a little more light.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Because we don't want our show to be dark.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Yeah. You know, for me, she overshadowed everybody with like her yelling and a lot of toxicity that came to the show. Like she was hilarious. I will say this. She had a side to her that she could say the funniest things that would just have you rolling. I don't want to like negate from some of the good things she brought to the show because she brought some very like funny moments.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Yes. And that was a side to her I loved. But she's hard to be on a show with because she blows up and everybody's scared of her blowing up and trying to keep her calm for scene. And so a lot of people just I feel like I hate to say this, but a lot of people really blossomed after she was no longer on. the show. And it's, it's a fact, like, I don't think it's offensive. It's a fact.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
And you've seen, and it was hard for me to be, I mean, she dumped a drink on my head and it was like, if you're going to open your mouth, I'm going to like humiliate you in front of the whole world. Yeah. After I felt like I'd been a good friend to her. So I think for me, she's hard to be on a show with for that reason. And it overshadows a lot.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
And, you know, so many, there were so many rising stars waiting to happen. And I think it took for her going away for people to be seen.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Yes. You know, and even like I related to being a business owner because we have like some super right stars in our business and you can never be held hostage as a business owner or, you know, on the show because there is always someone willing to come up and share their life.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
There's always another star out there and no one should ever be held hostage in their business because we're always auditioning. For the show, we're always auditioning in our business. We have to be on our game, but there's always someone, as they say, cuter, richer, and skinnier. I mean, joking, but you know what I mean?
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
That this is an ensemble cast and we just keep on growing and the show must go on. And I think people need to know that and not take for granted their position.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
You know, it's interesting. I feel like for me, it took the audience a minute to just get me. And I don't know if that's because I was in fight or flight. When you're fighting, you don't get to just relax and let your hair down and be your funny self. So when seeing you like in conflict with women, and that's not fun.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
That's why I've loved just seeing more of myself at home or where I'm more my natural self versus in conflict. But I will say my first couple seasons, I don't think like my authenticity, like my true self,
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
came out as much and i think people on production get to know you more and they get you more and maybe that's helpful when you're on for a little more time but like this season heather gay told me angie you are hilarious bring your thoughts external and that was the best advice anyone has ever given me in real life and on the show because i would say all this but
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
this season i said it all and i feel like the show finally captured like my true essence i don't think i really did that last season so it's a combination of like maybe getting more comfortable in front of the cameras and somebody giving me permission to like and you just say it it's okay it doesn't matter what people think like that's you and that's what you think and
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
I thought, you know, I do have all these funny thoughts and I finally just let them loose this season. So yeah, it is hard. You'll never see a hundred percent of who you are, but I think they give you enough moments now as they know you to let the audience see who you really are.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
So this season, I kind of feel like they really captured me more of my wittiness, my sense of humor, my one-liners and my real personality. There are a lot more housewives. So a lot
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
of personal stuff for all of us was missed because when you have that many women and Brittany being filmed almost full time you can't share as much of your personal story and we lost a lot of mine you know stuff with my daughter that wasn't shown with her on her horse that I would love to share more but there just wasn't enough time so but yeah it's it's I definitely like
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
This season captured more of it. So I'm happy with the season. Last season, not as much, you know, other than me just being in conflict. But I really, I feel this season that I had a great season and all more of my true authentic self came out. So I think they did a good job.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Oh my gosh, that means so much to me because I know you're both huge Housewives fans and I just adore you guys. So for you to say that, that really means a lot. Thank you. And you know, like I am funny in real life and these are things I would do in real life. Like I have this little sample scroll here and I do have to tell you because I'm a perfectionist.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Like I did practice unrolling it because I didn't know how to do it.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
I mean, she was clutching her pearls. She was just disgusted. And you know, what's great about it is like, I just, I thought it was funny. And to me, I just thought, are you serious? She wants an apology. Like I really meant to bringing this girl, like girl, you owe me an apology. But the only thing I did practice was unrolling it because I thought I've got this much time before she storms off.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
And it just came down beautifully.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
I knew she disengaged. So I actually thought she might laugh about it, but she didn't.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Never. No, no, no, no. We like aren't even looking at each other. It's like, oh, hi. Oh, hi. Or we'll see each other thing. Oh, hi. Oh, I like your dress. I mean, there's just like these sort of like little break the ice compliments kind of thing. And, you know, we try to be nice, but for some reason we always wind up back in conflict and like things are OK now. But it's like,
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
You know, it's five minutes before we find something else to fight about. I mean, I always thought, you know, she'd find me funny because I feel like her husband's kind of a funny jokester. But it's almost like she just doesn't get me at all.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
that like for her to be um so removed from that type of thing is a very funny juxtaposition yes but it makes her a great character on the show great you know what absolutely i had to step back and realize out like okay i may not like her but she's great for the show and yeah you know like i said we're in a better place now as you saw from the last episode the most recent yeah good we'll see how long it lasts sure sure
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Oh, thank you. And it's been a highlight of my season, our friendship and our continued even off-camera friendship. I really enjoy her and adore her and love her. She has let me in. And I always knew like if she would let me in and let the walls down, I just felt like we could be good friends.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
I think the biggest thing, there was a scene that never aired and she said, why are you always so nice to me? And it was really embarrassing. And from that day forward, I kind of stopped trying with her. And I think kind of giving her space worked for her because I was trying to get to know her. I'm a really personable, I can make friends with anyone.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
So it was really hard for me to understand why she didn't like me. You know, like I just, I felt like we had so much in common. And then she let her walls down, got to know me. You know, we both, lost our moms in different ways. We were both really close with our aunts and our grandmothers. And I think she realized we were a lot more alike than she knew. And she loves that I'm religious.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
She says I'm wholesome. She loves that I'm a family person. And, you know, She sees all the real things about me that, you know, she sees me in a different light than some of my castmates, I think. I think Mary knows that I'm her real friend and that she can trust me. And she doesn't give that to a lot of people. So I honor that.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
And I, you know, I'm very like, I'm a really sensitive, caring, loving person just by nature. And, you know, there's a sweet scene for us coming up. where I'm doing her hair and I'm just helping her get ready. And it was really special to watch. And I just thought, you know, I love caring for people. And I think Mary feels that for me. And she sees the real me. She loves my family.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
She loves my daughter. And she's let me meet her son and allowed me into her home when she has no makeup on and she's in her pajamas. So she's let her walls down.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
You know what's crazy? I saw her, the cast, photo shoot for... the season right after Palm Springs at the end of the season. And she smiled and told me how beautiful I looked. And then she said, your dress is my favorite. I mean, she was complimenting me. And that's when I, it was like a turning point where she was kind of like giving me the time of day, I guess.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
And she was very sweet and just very soft spoken. And I saw a different side of her and she was kind to me at the reunion. So we had two great interactions and then I don't know what it was, but. She just really started to open up to me after that. And it started at the reunion with a lipstick, which she swears it wasn't it.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
But I think that showed her like a little bit of a sign that I was a good person. And then I noticed her Tom Ford bracelets. And she said that was the moment because she said. She said no one else on the cast would know what those were but you. So when you noticed them, I knew that I liked you. And then from there, it just blossomed.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
And again, I think I'd also can I say she had a lot of reason to be defensive with the women from things that have happened in the past on the beginning. And I had never betrayed her. I never lied to her. And the weird thing is she I can't even put my finger on our connection. It's just really natural and organic. And I want to have real friendships on the show.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
I know people see that they feel it's transparent. If you're friends with someone because you're allies, so you can stay on the show or because they, they know something about you. I don't like that. And I think our friendship and the realness and the authenticity of it shines through and our love for each other shines through. And she loves me guys. I mean, she loves me hard.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Like she tells me that and I feel that. And for someone to feel that for Mary is like super special and it goes both ways.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
This is like, there's like a two-sided answer to this. I'm going to bring two things in a little bit.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Of the Greek culture, because like I said earlier, I have such strong culture. I have such strong beliefs and views. And I have so much to share as far as the world. Everybody has a Greek friend that they love, right? Yes.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Hello.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
I want to help you. I'm going to take you to Greece. But I'm so proud of that part of myself and that I can share that with the world. But I think being rooted in a strong culture has given me a lot of confidence. And that's something I'd love to share with the show. But growing up, we didn't have... you know, our iPads and our iPhones.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Wow, what a welcome. Oh my goodness. I'm honored and I'm flattered and all of it. Thank you. I've been dying to be on this podcast.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
So I always watched the Golden Girls and I was like, wow, like I'm a little bit of all of them. Like I'm like a little bit and a lot of Rose Nyland. And like, that's like my funny side that I bring to the show that I have my little like little moments where there's a splash of Rose and then like my little moments of Blanche where I, you know, a little high body count, if you know what I mean. Yeah.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
And that was like, and then little grandma Sophia, which reminds me of my aunt Rita, where she's like, cut the bullshit, you know? And, but it's like, I'm a little bit of all those characters, but I loved watching that show because it made me laugh and it was fun and funny. And I love like bringing that light to the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City is like the comedic relief when,
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
You don't even know you're doing it, but you make people happy and make people smile. And I loved that. I just, I loved that show growing up for me. That was a standout show. And when I hear the theme song, like I just get excited and it's nostalgic. And they were like the Real Housewives of that era for me.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Now, I love that like captures and articulates everything for me because it is a group of women. They're all different. They all have something that anyone can relate to. Like I said, like I was like a little bit of Blanche and then a little bit of Rose and a splash of the grandma. But I love what you said.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Since I met Bowen on Watch What Happens Live.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
It's like they capture every character and that is the real housewives and they make us laugh unintentionally, right?
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Well, and Bowen, thank you. Like I met her actually and twice because with the Palm Mitchell schools, we fundraise. And for years we raised money for Morris animal foundation. So I sat with her, the fundraiser, we donated to her. I have some photos off to send you guys so you can see them, but I adore her. And, I read something that she said, she was an only child and it reminds me of Electra.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Yeah, and then I found out Matt was Greek.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
And she would sit with her parents at dinner and they'd have fun, funny, interesting conversations. And she said, I always wanted to interject, but I needed to find the right moment to interject, to be a part of my parents' convo and say something funny. And I needed it to land. And she said, that's how she learned. Wow. where and when a joke would land and her perfect comedic timing.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Yes, and then I left Watch What Happens Live, and one of my castmates, the mean one, said, ooh, I don't, I'm just kidding, whose name I shall not mention, said, ooh, I don't think Bone liked you. You kept touching him too much. You kept, and then I said. That's not true.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
And I love that about her because she was like so funny and she just knew when to, but she was like a little naive, which I have that too. You know, like I have, I love that about her because I think I have a little bit of that innocence and like deep down, I think everybody's like a good person and I think everyone wants to be my friend and you learn on Housewives, they don't.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
But I like bringing a little bit of Rose Nyland to the show. So that's a huge compliment. Thank you.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Oh, yes. Oh, yeah. I loved coming from a big family. And if I wasn't such an old mom, I would have had more kids. Knock on wood, I was blessed to just have Electra even at the age that I did. But yeah, I mean, I did. I love that chaoticness.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Well, thank you. I think she secretly is loving it now. And she said, mom, like all these kids are like, you know, she'll tell me little things that come up at school that people say, or I'll walk into her school and friends will want a photo and, or they'll tell her, oh my gosh, you're famous. I saw you on TV.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
And you know, she's a very mature little girl and she's very like well-composed and super confident. So I think she's handling it well, but I think she loves it now. She's like, oh, mom, I don't care that you're famous on TV, but I want to meet Abby Lee Miller. And can you get me backstage? I want to meet George Strait. And now she's given me a list of George Strait. That's so funny.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Yes. Oh, yeah.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Yeah. So now she's giving me a list of like, mom, can you hook me up with these people? And I'm like, give me a minute. But she loves going on Watch What Happens Live. She met Lance Bass. She met Bowen. For her, she goes back and brags. That's so cool for her. She gets to meet different people there and meet Andy. So she's loving it all.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
And I think she's going to handle it well because she's extremely humble down to earth. She's very modest. And yeah, she'll handle it all really well.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Thank you, Bone, for saying that. And, you know, with the lectures, like I think if any kid's going to handle fame or becoming famous or becoming continuing on the show, she will handle it with grace and she will never be affected by it because she's so down to earth. But I have to say, I felt like after I watched What Happens Live, I did leave there like, did he like me?
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
I mean, so I just can't believe I'm sitting here on your podcast because I never knew how you felt.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
I didn't say it was her. I left out like, oh my gosh, I hope I made a great impression on Bowen because the success of my first appearance was because of him being there and him being easy to connect with and his great energy.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
I'm so happy that you loved me because I was sort of shy after that. And I thought, what if I follow him and he doesn't follow me back?
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Yeah.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
you guys i'm not joking i almost got arrested making that video for you guys it is a true yes i hiked up there in in civilian clothing with sneakers i got up there sean i went up to that spot they were closing the sun was setting i tried to time it perfectly um and i was pulling the dress on and it was sticking because i was sweating so bad and like my boobs were falling out i mean i looked high body count the boobs were coming out
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
I was trying to get the dress on and people were staring. Then I started to film the video and they had these officers standing around and this guy came up. He says, are you filming a commercial? You can, it is illegal. You cannot film a commercial. Give me your phone. And he was going to take my phone. He was going to arrest me. I said, no, no, it's just a little video for my friend. I swear. But
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
You're not allowed to film up there. And I didn't know that. And I literally almost got arrested for filming that. And and I wanted to get it to you, too, in a timely manner. But I had to I literally landed and went up there that night.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Yes. Yeah, I risked it all for Las Culturistas because you guys, you gave me the cool girl award. And I was in there with Ariana Grande. And I'm like, this has to be good. I'm bringing a gown. I'm sending a video from the Acropolis. I did it all. I would have gone to jail. I would have gone to jail that night. And thank God I didn't.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Or unfortunately, I didn't because that would have been a great story.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Thank God I'm like the biggest bullshitter and I'm a great negotiator. I talked him out of taking my phone, arresting me.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
And then thank goodness he didn't watch Housewives. People were watching and seeing what, and then they were fans. So then they started swarming me. So I went down, I hiked down in the dress. I ran for my life. I kept the phone and sent you guys a video and I didn't make it in time, but it was a great story.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Yes, absolutely.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Think about it. Like I could have gone to jail in a foreign country. So I'm so happy you're going to post it. That will make it all. Just like the video that they made last night at Watch Robbins Live. It's these moments that make it worth getting arrested, getting kicked out. I'm down for getting blown up if it brings some joy.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
I couldn't have done that without you. So thank you.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
I agree with all of them.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
No, I turn it off immediately.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Days In would be a low body count, except some of the workers, maybe some of the girls that rent the rooms there might be high body count, if you know what I mean. You know what I mean?
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
We're not staying.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Do people do people? Well, not after that. I'm just kidding. Do people drop the F-bomb in these?
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Oh my gosh. Is Bowen doing one or is it like- I'm doing one.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
This is warming me up.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
You're Greek and your mom's a hairdresser. I mean, that's like we have some serious connections. I didn't know that. But you grew up as a hairdresser's child. That's like that's the best story. No wonder you have such great hair.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Not when you have immigrant parents and seven kids. We never got to ski. My dad thought it was dangerous. He thought it was too expensive. We never did it. No. So now we go with my daughter, but it's hard to learn at 50 years old. Like I'm scared and I just stay on the small hills and I don't want to break any bones.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
But Bowen, if you come, I mean, look, I don't know if I was funny enough to get my contract renewed, but if I come back and we're filming, you might have to have a cameo because those are filming seasons for us.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Well, normally we start filming the end of January, beginning of February. But I don't know if I was funny enough to get renewed. And I don't know. You are renewed, Angie. I don't know if last night's reenactment of High Body Count Hair is like maybe saying that I did something. So if I get renewed, maybe Bond could be in Salt Lake World filming.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
What did he say?
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
I think that we have a great cast and he knows it. And so thank you. And I like the word rise. I did have to rise up, man. They really, they took me out. Hey, Matt, being Greek, one story you do need to know is that like from the movie 300, where, you know, there was 300 Greeks and 150,000 Persians.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
And guess what? The Greeks were not defeated. Yes, they did.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
It's an important story to watch. I mean, you'll notice me taking out multiple of these women at once.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Yeah, exactly. This is Sparta.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
I'm sorry, but that is that is screaming high body count. That is.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Well, you know, we we used to do we used to have a big tequila thing in our salon. We have a salon in Park City, Utah. So you're going to get your high body count.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
city yes you guys all take care of your high body count hair and we we used to host um like a an event up there with hair and tequila with um patron tequila because our partner not vita No, especially not after what she's been doing to me this season. But no, I'm kidding. Our partner, John Paul DeGioia, he's our partner in Palmetto School. He owned Patron Tequila.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
So we had a tequila bar in our salon with John Paul DeGioia. And he's our partner in our cosmetology school. So we used to host events up there every year. But I'm going to meet you up there. Yes.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
You're going to be in a cameo in my scene if I get contacted back in.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Yeah, so we'll do a scene, yes.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Oh, my gosh. Are you going to show me my times? Because I talk a lot.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
I don't think so, honey. I don't think so, honey. Look, you know what I don't like? I don't like high body count hair. Because it looks cheap. And when you've got high body count hair, your clothes look cheap. When you've got high body count hair, your shoes look plastic. That's right. high body count hair, your face looks plastic. Everything about you suddenly becomes cheap.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Oh, yeah, you should be. There's a line for you.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
People want to come to my high end luxurious salon, but they don't want to pay my high end prices. Look, if you want to look expensive, girl, you got to spend some money. Like, you know, when you got a high body count hair and we can see the tracks, uh, that's, That's bad.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
So of course there's going to be a high body count. Get in line.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
And listen, if you're too cheap to come to the salon and pay to get your hair done, then if you're going to be bitching from dude in the kitchen, then don't come to Lunatic French. And listen, high body count hair can be sophisticated. It can be sexy. It can have volume. But if you don't do it right, high body count looks cheap. And guess what?
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
If you want expensive hair or if you want high body count hair and you don't like your look when you leave, we've got a get laid guarantee policy at my salon. Come back and I'll fuck you myself. Ah! That's one minute.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Honestly. I got to get my body count up because I have a low body count.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
You guys, I was like, I forgot. That was wild.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Do I take another stab? Was it good?
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
This is so fun.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
I had a blast. I want you to know how honored I am. Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
It's so crazy. I have never said it. I have never thought it. I just remember thinking like, that is like porn 90s hair when I saw her hair. And it was like not moving. It was like slacked. And you could see the tracks to her extension. Bless her little heart.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
And do you guys know that we are one of the top 10 shows? Vanity Fair wrote us up as one of the top 10 shows in 2024. This season, not last season. So our show is even better. Our finale is insane. Our reunion is going to be amazing. Thanks. I like the fact that you guys watch Salt Lake and love it. That just puts us on the map.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Cause you two are like, yeah, probably your support has like literally made me feel like I made it. I'm not. And you know what Heather said? She was, Oh my gosh, Angie, if Matt and Bowen love you, like you've struck. She told me that's like the biggest compliment.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
When you're, when you're new, you're waiting for your flowers. And when you guys give them, it's like, okay, I can die now.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
I believe we have two more. Okay, cool. And then the finale, yeah, we have one more. There's three episodes in Mexico. I believe we just did our first, so we have two more in Mexico. And then hopefully a three-part reunion.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
I feel like I'm having a Greek coffee with you guys. This has been so fun.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
A Greek song? Oh, my gosh. But you guys couldn't sing along, so we've got to think of...
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Have you seen a song from Grease?
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Grease is the word.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Happy 2014. Except we're spelling Greece like the country. Greece is the word.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
And then when she kind of, you know, offended me by saying I was probably slutty and I've been with Sean for 30 years, I just thought, okay, girl, let's like, look at your hair. So I didn't want to say you look like you have a high body count, but her hair was like screaming 90s porn. And it just came out. People keep saying like, where did that come from? I don't know. It just came out.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
That's my best materials when it just flies out and it gets me in trouble, but people love it.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
You know what? You know, high body count hair can actually be super sexy. And like, you know, the old guest ads or, you know, like just the volume, the sexy, like raw look, like cougar, you know, like, but I have to say if it's done right, it can be so hot. Yeah.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Oh my gosh. Really, you guys? Thank you so much. I'm having, it's sliding back, hon. It's sliding back. I've got my manager. I've got the husband.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Sean is standing by. Okay. It's perfect, hon. Thank you guys.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Wow, thank you.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
There were so many of those that I didn't even put in because I had no idea it would make such a splash. So I'm regretting some others that were missed. I'll have to repost them. I think a lot of people like really resonated with that 90s era. And a lot of people were that girl. A lot of people had the super skinny eyebrows.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
A lot of people had like the really hard liner that was like dark chocolate brown with a white color of lips inside. Yeah. And you know, the hard eyeliner. I mean, I think it was super like nostalgic for so many people. And then Sean's hair was hilarious. I mean, Sean was like, we were, we had matching bobs. I didn't even notice it till I read the comments.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
I'm like, how did I not notice that we had matching bobs? Like that is so hilarious. We are soulmates and we went through so many funny, we tried everything. Like we both loved fashion. We both loved, you know, we were both super creative and
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
for our time we were ahead of our time like the trucks yes you know that hair in in salt lake was so ahead of its time i mean looking back i just really enjoyed the joy that it brought to others and the laughter that it brought to the internet that day and yeah sean and i like we did it together we both were always a super fashionable couple for our time i guess and like
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
I know it doesn't look ahead of our time looking back, but at the time we were so like, we were trendsetters.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Oh, she was. She was. She still is. I mean, that's why I laugh. Like, I mean, I love it because I do look back on that. Angie, Sean and I went out to clubs all the time. We were super social. We were out everywhere. And it was just a fun era. And like I was the only girl with platforms in Salt Lake City and I had to get them in L.A. at a special store called Wild Pear.

Do you guys remember Wild Pear?

Yeah, it was like you could only find really cool, edgy shoes there. And it used to only be out of state. And then we got, I mean, you know, I would go out of state to shop and I was wearing leopard print when no one was wearing leopard print. But in the hair industry, you have to be very fashion forward.

And so we were like always inspired by things outside of Salt Lake before Salt Lake became so cool because now Salt Lake is like, Really on the map.

You know all of it, really, honestly, because I think Salt Lake was like the best kept secret. It was a hidden gem because it's so beautiful. It's so clean. And I have to say, like, the Mormon Church keeps our city clean and beautiful. And there's a lot of things to do for families and kids. And our downtown is just pristine. And, well, that's all churches.

But, you know, I mean, the Mormon Church does run downtown Salt Lake until the Greeks came in. But... You know, I will say, yes, but I will say I think the show has really shined a light on Salt Lake City. And it's an enigma. It's beautiful. The mountains, the snow, like you just don't see this anywhere.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang

Yes. And can I also say like owning a business and multiple businesses throughout the city and being in downtown Salt Lake, our salons, I mean, we're already like max capacity, but we have people moving here from big cities that want to come into our salons that are used to paying for a high end experience in other cities. So like Lunatic Fringe has benefited from our cities growing.

Our real estate has gone through the roof and it's just our city's on fire. Don't move here.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
No, no. You guys can. But the traffic, everybody else can't. It's getting bad and things are changing.

Well, okay, so we opened our salon 25 years ago, going on 26. We were like 20, let's see, 26 and 28 years old, young kids. And our mentor and friend, Alan, he always said, he gave us a name and it's like, it means a couple of terms. It means kind of crazy hair, but if you Google it, it's like a group of like-minded people working towards the same goal or vision. And it fit perfectly.

And it was so edgy for its time. And it didn't even say salons. And people just thought, lunatic fringe, what is this? But it's really stood out. And after him saying, you should use this, we just couldn't think of anything else. It was so good. You couldn't top it. And it's become a household name. We have 10 locations. We're a franchise company now.

"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
And we have locations outside of Salt Lake City. We have locations in Boise, in Idaho, and all the rest are in Utah. And with the right partners, we're willing to open more. But you know, our salon's been on fire the last 25 years. And, you know, it was a little dream. We just wanted one salon and had no idea it would become what it is. So we do own a cosmetology school.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
So we have like, you know, two to 300 students a year that we educate, train them on business and hair. And that's with Paul Mitchell. And then, you know, they spread their wings and they either work for us or we train hairdressers to go work wherever they want. Wow. I wish we saw more of that on the show. Yeah, yeah.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"High Body Count Episode" (w/ Angie Katsanevas)
Yeah, we've only filmed once in the salon. I'd love to share more of that. We also own a beauty supply distributorship. So we're very immersed in the beauty industry. And we have been for years. You know, we do a lot of fundraising with our school that we've been involved in just a lot of great things in the community through our businesses.
