Be cool. Hello, everybody. And welcome back to Win Reality. Hits with Jackson Brittany. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and happy, happy holidays. We just got back from Kentucky yesterday. Actually, late last night, we flew into our house

around like midnight. Yeah, that was a long flight, a connecting flight. Wasn't that bad though. Wasn't that bad. As you guys all know, as you guys all know, I have issues when it comes to planes and the things that just really hurt me. And I mean, if we want to get back into that a little bit.

No, we don't need to get back into that. We've spent like three podcasts of a zone talking about Jackson is traveling. He did better this time. I will say guys, and also the people in Kentucky are just so nice. So everybody at the airport was amazing. I got to speak something in though What the people who use the bathroom before you use it you ever watch the part like if you have to go to the bathroom on a plane Right, you like you really have to go you notice the light is on and then you like wait for that person to get out of the bathroom

And you see that person get out and you're like, oh my gosh, I have to go to the bathroom after that person just used it. And it's literally, you know, the bathrooms right there are two feet by two feet. They're so little, right? So you can't even bend over. Now mind you, mind you, now I have a child, try changing a child on there as well. I was going to say, changing the diapers, they got to make a better station for that because it is so tiny and cruise is so long. It is so hard. I'm like hitting my head. I'm like hitting everything.

Trying not to hit his head. Trying to change the diaper. Using one hand, it's like, it's tough. I think everybody thinks about that. I mean, no matter where you are, people are gonna think about who was using the restroom before you, which just happened. I just gotta say though,

the people, like, such a difference between L.A.X. and Lexington and like, the people at the Lexington Airport are just so nice like the people at The airline were the American American. Yeah, they were just so nice We at full on had a conversation with the front desk. I mean he was just it was just night and day of the work I feel like people are normally nice that I think it's rare occasions whenever they're made But I think you have a little different Experience that most people also we're dealing with LAX airport, which is Lexington Airport, which is got for a couple of hours. Okay, but we're not gonna go

into too much airport stuff because Jackson just go on and on. But I do want to talk about Christmas because we just got back from Kentucky and it was absolutely wonderful. Love being around all the family and we just had so much fun. Crazy weather this year. Yeah, it was like really warm in Kentucky. It was like 66 degrees and then it started raining on Christmas. So yeah, it was a little weird. We were hoping for a white Christmas, of course, just like everyone else.

But still, we were so blessed and lucky to be with our family and cruise had a great time. Got lots of presents. Lots of presents. Lots of presents. He had lots of fun on the farm. Cruz had a great time. Got lots of presence. Lots of presence. Lots of presence. He had lots of fun on the farm. It was a good time.

Everybody got to see Cruz, which is always important. Yes. Yeah, it was just a very good time. Every year we do an Airbnb. Every year we do a friends miss with, like, my best friends from back home. And we get an Airbnb for two nights. And we did that in Lexington this year.

We went out and we got like a sprinter van. And we were partying. One night was without the kids. My mom stayed with Cruz and then the next night was with all the kids and there was ended up being like, geez, how many kids did you think we had? I feel like I think we said it was kind of a running joke this year's the first time that nobody was pregnant. Yeah. And it was kind of funny and I just give a shout out to Justin at Griff Securities. Thank you so much for hooking up that van. It was shout out to Justin at Griff Securities. Thank you so much for hooking up that van. It was awesome. Yes, Griffin.

We had such a great time. And we did our, went to Jeff Rubies, which, I don't know if anybody knows this, Jeff Rubies is just an amazing steakhouse in Lexington. We started going there and we went to the Derby and now we kind of make this a yearly thing. It was just so good. We had a private room. They take such good care of us. The chef came out and he made like a realistic Louis the ton bag and a Nike Air Force one two.

Yeah, if you guys had a cake it was so cool. If you saw our stories we added that in and it just they were just so good. The food was amazing and then we topped it off at the very end of our trip by going to Carson's which is another amazing steakhouse. It was just it was just good. The steakhouse isn't Kentucky or just top shelf. Yeah, but we had a really good time. Nothing like being with our family and getting to celebrate everything together. We always play these like gag gift games

at my mammals, dirty, we call it dirty Santa. Everybody has to go around and take a guess out of the center. What did you get? What was, you got something really funny. This year? What did you get this year? You know what?

It was really rushed this year. I got Missile Toe socks this year. That had like, you know, they used to be super popular. Every single toe has an individual little little sock like a glove. I don't remember what I got, but I do remember what we gave. We gave like a little tiny waffle maker,

which is like to make one waffle that's the size of a donut. And then we gave, what else do we give? There's this ongoing thing where my mom won a long time ago, she bought this really ugly boat. It has like all these figurines on it. So we brought it as a gag gift one year and it's been passed around for about 10 years now

and I got it last year. So I just love doing traditions like that and I love the fact that everybody brings back the same gifts and like rotates it and becomes a whole thing. One year, whenever my papal was still here, they made a calendar of him smiling without his teeth. So every single month was a different picture of him smiling without his teeth. I just thought that was the most adorable thing. I would give anything to see that calendar again now.

It was good. It was a lot of fun. Like I said, though, I don't know about you guys, but Christmas just came and went this year. Like it went by so fast, I felt like we just got thinking, talking, it was already time to go. I know, we were there for eight days and it just flew by. We definitely had no downtime. We were on the go. Every time we go there, we always have places to go every time because everybody wants to see, you know,

you know, Brittany and crew. So we always kind of like have a schedule. So this year we didn't really have much downtime. So it was go, go, go. I've got lots of friends and lots of family. So I try to see as many people as I can. I know people were going to ask how is Cruz's sleeping schedule and it's taking right now.

Oh gosh. Terrible. He was so off, Kentucky is three hours ahead, and then just the traveling and everything else that was involved saying a different place. He was like going to bed, finally falling asleep at like nine or something, and then waking up at one 30, and then not going back to bed to like six a.m. Almost every night. It was crazy.

We would rotate, you know, Brittany would take one night and then I would, you know, take another night. It was just the only way we can do it without us losing our mind. And he's normally a good sleeper, y'all. Like, this is not, this is not normal behavior in our house. So we were exhausted. Like, I'm still exhausted right now. Like Like I could probably take a daytime nap and I can't tell you the last time I was able to fall asleep during the day. Time can't really doesn't affect me at all. It doesn't really bother me, but it definitely I could see it affecting crews. Like he was just it was just so hard to get him back on schedule. It really, really was something now that he's back because we didn't allow him to take

an nap yesterday. So hopefully he's back today. He's actually still sleeping right now. He also did amazing on the plane. So I'm proud of him. For his sleeping schedule to be so off, like he was just a little angel and it made me so happy. Okay, so one thing that we do definitely need to discuss because there's a lot of stuff going around in the media and I'm getting tagged in a bunch of things

because of what you had said on House of Villains Shacks. So I would like for you to tell everybody what went down, and I will tell everybody the story of what happened to me. Well, I think I've talked about already that, you know, at the end of the show, after literally, I'm not gonna lie. Literally, I wanna say 60 seconds after how it was voted off, I got handed a phone and it was my manager saying, he listened, I didn't wanna call you

because I know you're filming right now, but I feel like it's necessary. Brittany's in the hospital, she collapsed and this and that and I was like, oh my God, I panicked, whatever. Cut to the story. We didn't know what it was, the doctors didn't really know what it was, but it was stroke-like symptoms, stroke-like symptoms. So I just assumed it was a stroke.

You went ahead and said something without being sure of the facts. Yeah, and we live in a name. Yeah. Or if you say something, people are going to criticize you. It crazy about it. So I obviously didn't mean it, but it was, it's what it resembled. So, you know, I probably... You shouldn't have said it matter, in fact. I think that's why. Because so many people have been commenting and like being like,

I hope you're okay, which I will say this was terrifying for me. I mean, my whole right side of my body went completely numb. I couldn't even hold my cell phone up. I could barely walk. I feel and like bruised at my whole side because my right leg gave out. So it was like actually very, very scary. My friend, Janet came over and she was like, because I was so worried I had crews at the house and I was by myself because obviously Jackson's

filming house of villains, which by the way, let me add, this was filmed months and months and months ago. So I'm completely fine now. I want to make that clear. But it was such a scary situation. My friend Janet came over and she was like, well, I'm taking you to the hospital. So she takes me to the hospital and Kristen met her up there and they both took crews home and then they started doing the MRIs, the CAT scans. You know, I was in those tubes for like two hours, three hours. I say I ended up coming at how to go back to the hospital for more tests. So it was like an ongoing thing. They never really knew exactly what was wrong with me. It could have been stress-induced. It could have been a pinched nerve in my spine. It could have been, I mean, I have no idea, but I haven't felt that sensation since. And of course, I was keeping up with the doctors, but I just wanted

to make it clear that it was, it was ruled out. My brain scans came back clean. And, you know, I think that Jack's... Well, I looked up stroke and those were all the symptoms of he just was he had to go back to filming and I think that he just thought that's what it was, but we want to make it clear because I think that you know, you forget that you're on reality TV sometimes in the whole world is going to see this. I know I just it's crazy that people just take everything you say with like literally, you know, and I apologize. I shouldn't have said that, but you know, it was a scary time.

And I didn't know when I was we were panicking and, you know, like I said, I was googling it and looking it all up and I'm like, oh my gosh, these are the signs of a stroke. But again, I didn't know that. I'm not a doctor, but, you know, but now we know that it was not an actual stroke. We have no idea what actually did happen, but again, it was a very scary time. And I do appreciate people reaching out to me and like saying that they hope I that I feel better and everything because it was like I said very nerve-wracking. And I do feel a lot better now. And I do appreciate the love and people being concerned about it. I had no idea that Jackson's going to go on the show and

say that either. So yeah, I don't want to say that he was lying by any means. It was just that he thought that's what it could have been. But that's just me being a caring husband. Yeah, I don't want to say that he was lying by any means. It was just that he thought that's what it could have been. But that's just me being a caring husband. Yeah, he was just worried about me, but I just wanted to make that clear and clear that up because I have gotten so many questions about that. When reality hits is brought to you by KiwiCo.

So hold on, I want to talk about one more second house of the villains. How did you feel going back to the show and how did you feel getting to pick Tanisha as the winner? I felt really good about it. I liked going back. It was less stress. It wasn't, I didn't feel like, oh my gosh, I'm in a competition again. I kind of went back and I didn't really think about it.

And I said, like I said, stress free. I got to sit down and got to watch them go through a competition. By the way, I would have never done myself. They had to eat the craziest things. Or they eat. If I can't exactly remember, but I want to say there was, don would have never done myself. They had to eat the craziest things. Where'd they eat? If I can't exactly remember, but I want to say there was, don't quote me on this.

I think there was an eyeball in there. I just see a lot of swings. You could possibly imagine. Oh gosh. I want to say there was raw, I think it was animal angst. I can't remember exactly, but everything was just disgusting.

I would have never done that. I would have just bowed out right there. I wasn't joining Fear Fact. I was signing up for it. I would have just bowed out right there. I was joining Fear Factor. I thought it was sign up for. I thought it was just like, you know. These shows are kind of like old school for Fear Factor. It was pro-Fear Factor.

But it was nice to be on the other side of the table and just get to watch them like in pain because like, they were main to you. Yeah. They wanted you go on a city walk through the door. Yeah, you know, it goes with the territory, but it was nice to watch Shake Cry because I know I don't like him very much So it was nice to watch him just literally cry

Oh, man, yeah, but it was fun. It was a fun experience and I'm so happy for Tunisia. She deserves it She's an amazing mother. She's a great person. I loved hanging out with her We had we had her and I hung out a lot of the downtime together and we just had a really really good time So she 100% deserves that. I know everyone's like how come you didn't vote for Johnny and I'm like, you allowed the downtime together and we just had a really, really good time. So she 100% deserves that. I know everyone's like, how come you didn't vote for Johnny? And I'm like, you know what, Johnny goes on these competitions all the time and, you know, and to me she's a mother. She's a single mother and she, like I said,

she just really, really deserved it. So I'm just so happy for her. And also, Johnny didn't split his winnings with his partner who did every, like half of the work that he did. So it was time for somebody else to get it. Plus, you know, I'm a parent. You know, I understand things are expensive, you know,

and like I said, she's a... Kids aren't cheap, y'all. Kids are not cheap. I hope she's doing well. I haven't talked to her actually. I haven't talked to her in a couple of weeks. I got them checking in with her. But yeah, it was an amazing time.

And I was so humbled to be part of that series. We had a great time. Yeah, no, I got voted off really quickly, but I had a good time anyway with everybody. So next in the news, by the way, did you hear someone tossed their mom's ashes at a pink concert? Can you see that?

I thought that video, yes. So what do you think of that? I mean, what was pink's response to this? I think she was just kind of like in shock, like kind of freaked out by the situation. I mean, maybe her mom was the biggest pink fan in the world and asked for that. I'm not sure, but I think they like really went on pink.

I think she was a fan of the pink concert. You're throwing it on a stadium. Yeah, no. No, it was. I don't think her mom's a fan of the stadium. It's, yeah, I don't know. I don't know what makes people do things like that. You know, I've been noticing a lot on Instagram

that there's a lot of people throwing things at this place. I just saw Harry Styles got a shoe throwing at him. Somebody else got, you know, they're throwing things. There's been a lot of like a cell phone got thrown at somebody. Like actually a couple of people got cell phones thrown at him. What makes people do these things? And like do they think they're not gonna get kicked out?

Remember that one time, Jack, that you got kicked out of Bernie Spirits concert? Yes, but I wasn't throwing it at her. I was throwing it up in the air. Okay, you did it till this story right now. So, when we first met, I don't know if I've told a story or not, but we were in Vegas, and when we first met, we met,

Plathie, where it was at the hard rock. We met at the Golden Spike. I didn't go to the Britney Spears concert with you, but I met up with you before and afterwards. Right, right, but we were, I got to take it. I brought a front row to Britney Spears, right where we were so excited and I was very, very intoxicated.

But we had a bottle of champagne, obviously the bottle of champagne sits in a thing of ice. And I got really excited and I think the ice in the air. God. Well, an ice cube definitely hit the stage. It wasn't, I wasn't throwing it though. I wasn't purposely throwing it like these people were. An ice cube hit the stage and yeah,

they weren't really happy about that. That could have been so dangerous. Yeah, somebody could have slipped. I know, and I didn't even, obviously, I was drinking or was listening. Just stupid mistake. I was intentionally throwing it at the stage. I was throwing it in my booth

and a nice cube landed on the stage. You know, so again, getting back to my story here when the people are throwing things at these people and you know, these people that are throwing these things have extremely good seats and really expensive seats so what do they think is gonna happen when they throw something they're gonna get kicked out and obviously they paid a lot of money for those really good seats so are they mad at the people that they're

throwing the phone that like it doesn't make sense I don't understand throwing something knowing that you're gonna get kicked out the security so tight these right I got they manhandled me a little bit of the grinch the Broadway musical oh my gosh yeah we'll get into that a second so that's yeah I almost got kicked out of the grinch right it says you're not supposed to record and Jackson's just recording anyway not even thinking about it and oh here they come with the flashlights and bears

the crap out of me I just wanted to catch a little bit can't. Put your phone down. Put your phone down. I'm like, I just wanted to catch a little bit. You go, just like one of those kids who has to do the opposite of what the rules say. You have to like touch everything that you're not supposed to touch. You go to the museum and you'd have to touch all the skeleton bones of the dinosaur.

I just wanted to catch a little video of the Grinch just to catch just like a little bit of memory. I wasn't going to. I wasn't trying to ruin the green. I wasn't trying to ruin it. There was no flash or anything. I just was trying to get a little bit of memory. I wasn't gonna. Oh, was it trying to ruin the green? I was trying to ruin it. There was no flash or anything. I just was trying to get a little video of the green. They caught you.

They caught your ass. I'm on haul. That place was packed with screaming kids. And for somehow they spotted me. Oh my gosh, so funny. Oh my gosh, I gotta get into this thing. I know this is crazy off the topic. But have you guys seen this power slapping?

Power slapping. Yes, my sister actually sent me videos of that last year. She's been she's been cracking up at that for ages. So this kind of goes along the lines with of UFC. So Dana White who started UFC started power slapping. So this is this new thing where I don't know if you guys have seen it. I don't know it's it's literally slap each other really hard in the face and sometimes people's faces get stuck. Oh my gosh, the people are having seizures. People are falling down.

Their faces are deformed. If you have not seen it, you've got to watch. I mean, one person's face just literally went right to the side. It looks like they were kissing like a window or something, and it was stuck like that. I mean, and guys, these aren't just like everyday people. These are people that are huge, people that are scary,

like that are like 300 pound bottle. Would you ever do it Jack? No, there's females that do it. Tell you what that are just normal size. Like everybody I've seen are not huge. No, the females are like, People all size the same. They're all ex- like UFC fighters.

They are, they are, they are incredibly scary scary people. So I would just not want to be hit. I would do it for, I wouldn't do it for a million. I wouldn't let a woman do it to me for a million dollars. Oh, whatever. Have you seen how the heart is? He would take a hit for a million dollars. Okay, from you. Yes. Not not for me. Not from these freaking. Have you ever gone? Okay, guys, check out on Instagram. You got to look at it. Watch these videos and then we'll get back to this next week. I want to hear some people calling. I want to hear some people write it. No, some people write in like you would take it from me but not from

These are people are strong okay our trained fighters. These are trained people I was watching the training videos of these how they trained. Did you see that? Have you seen the training? No, I just thought it was all kind of like they like they practice smacking people in the face like for hours on end and Not only that, I talk about this, then I got invited to this. So I'm super excited that I'm gonna be going. I don't know if it's this month or next month, but I am gonna go, you guys gonna watch my stories.

I'm gonna be in August. I'm actually gonna be in the arena. They reached out to me, the Dana Weitz team reached out to myself and I'm gonna bring Tom with me and we are gonna go to this event. It's supposed to be an incredible event. People are just obsessed with it right now, but I just at Dana White's he's loving this. He's loving everything about it. He thinks it's gonna be the next biggest thing and it's it really is.

I mean, you have to watch it. It's one of those things where you just have to watch Anyway, I'm gonna talk about this because I can't believe people just get up there and want to get slapped.

That's zoc.coc.com slash reality, zock.com slash reality. zock.com slash reality. Like I said, we've been running around like crazy for this holiday season, but it's been so much fun, Jacks. What is your like favorite Christmas memory? Oh, you know, all my Christmas memories are just when I was in my youth,

we're just all so amazing. My mom and dad just just nailed it every, every year. They just really, really did. I mean, they played the part. They did all the cookies in the milk and they played the footprints and they did the raisins for the rap, the Easter. They did the cookies.

They left the notes. I mean, they were just so good. My mom had special handwriting for Santa on the labels. She used the same wrapping paper like throughout all of our, I guess, she was just so, so good. Yeah, my family did all that too. They only took for my father, he was amazing,

he put all that shit together. But my mom was just like, she was the best part. Well, let's be real. The women, especially the moms, do everything for Christmas. My mom. I mean, no, like, you should give me a little credit here. I mean, we get Santa Claus, Like everybody gets Santa Claus all the credit,

but Mrs. Claus, we all know was the one packing Santa's bag. Yeah. Like, is there everything that gets put in place and where it needed to go? Like, is there the list that's right? It's definitely like that in real life too. Yeah, not taking anything away from the father. They are part of it.

But I just, in my household, my mom just did a, she just knocked out. My family did all that as well. They really went above and beyond to like make sure the spirit of Christmas with love. And that's what I love so much about the holidays. And there was one year, because you know, back in the day, we had those big VHS recorders.

Yeah. You know, there's big ones. So like my, oh, I have an older brother, West older brother, Tiffany, two younger brothers. My little brothers, sorry, was this your Tiffany. And it was just me, Tiffany and West at that time, Blake and Austin weren't in the world yet. But my brother wanted to catch Santa Claus so bad. So my dad set up a secret camera

and had it face in the tree. And he had one of his friends come in and and be Santa Claus. And then he like finds the camera, he's like, Oh, that little Wesley, and then he finds the camera. He's like, oh, that little Wesley, and turns the camera off. It's like, that is so special. You know what I mean? And we still have those VHS tapes and the excitement on their faces and everything.

Like, it was just the most adorable thing. Speaking of VHS tapes, Brittany broke one out during the holidays. Hey, my brother chose that one. We all had to sit on a couch, Christmas day, and watch Britney's like a website. Like home videos. Dance videos.

Like, and mind you, mind you, it wasn't just me and Britney. It was me, Britney, her dad, her mom, her brothers, her brother, her nephew, her nephew's girlfriend. It was just, it was like all the, and it was just like my brother, my brother, my sister, all, but hey, my brother's the one that picked the tight, but it was so funny.

It was one of my birthday parties. And it was so funny, me and my brother, my sister-in-law, but hey, my brother's the one that picked the tape, but it was so funny. It was one of my birthday parties and it was so funny, me and my friends, even then, would stand up and act out like little things like gree sliding was going on and we were making everybody rest in around the circle, watch us do our little dances. Oh, it was so funny. Those are the memories that I just love to have. And now, all we do is take our cell phone and record like a short little clip and put it on Instagram. Back then, you would record, like my dad recorded a whole video game

of me or a whole VHS of me cheering on the sidelines for a basketball game. And like doing my gymnastics in the court and stuff, like the entire game, we don't have those moments anymore. I just, you know me, I can't. I'm about to start recording everything Chris does. I just feel like, I feel like Christmas has lost its lustre.

Oh no, no, no, no, no. I have no way. I'm allowed to have an opinion. So, we know we grow up in a time where like, you never asked for things like three months before Christmas. You put it on your Christmas list. God forbid you asked for a toy three months before Christmas. You would just get it because you didn't get toys other than Christmas, your birthday, graduation. You just didn't, we just didn't go out. A lot of people are still just

like that. But now we have Amazon. So if like people see something. Yeah, they want that to get it. The next day. Yeah. It's like there's no like excitement anymore for like the cool toy. Oh, whatever. Did you not see Pressley with her elf on the shelf on my niece Presley and her elf on the shelf it was the cutest thing ever because on Christmas Eve apparently the elves don't neither magic anymore so they can they can take their elf with them

and carry it around. Well I have my niece and my two little cousins and they all three had their elves at Christmas Eve dinner and they were just cherishing every moment with the carrying them around loving them. Me and Presley were making little videos where the elf would leave and it was just like, oh, it just made me, it was so much fun.

I mean, that, that stuff is so magical and so sweet and I love it. I love it. That's not toys. You're not excited about getting toys like. Yes, they are. She was screaming open in her presence. Do you not remember, Presley being like, oh my gosh, I think it's just because you're getting older. No, I just feel like, you know, we just, just the excitement of making a list of the toys you wanted and you didn't get anything

to let her say. And I just feel like kids now that if you want something, they just go on their mom's phone and they buy it on Amazon. They buy it on Amazon. They see it on Amazon. They go on their mom's phone and they see it. Well, we do. There's the instant gratification now because of Amazon. Not taking away anything away from Amazon. We love it. But I'm just saying, it's everything is just so if you see it, you can buy it and you can have it your house the next day.

And it's just like there's no. Well, that's why I got to not spoil too much. Um, I'm sorry. Are you saying that? Bruce literally has everything. Oh, but he's just as weight loose. We go over. But you know what? We, I know. Oh, but he's just so sweet loose. We go over.

But you know what? I know. Trust me, he's going to have chores. I want to get a chicken coop with two little chickens, not a rooster so they don't make sounds. So that when he's old enough, he has chores and that he is able to go outside. He's going to have chores and stuff.

I think that's very important. Our pool filled filter has been on the fritz, and our neighbors are going crazy. They should. Do you honestly think they're going to want chickens? That's why I would not get a rooster. The hens are nowhere near as loud. Okay, they're the cutest ones, the silkeys. I want one so bad. They're like so furry and fluffy and just adorable. Living in Kentucky. Okay, but I'm a Kentucky girl that lives in L.A. I still like my animals. I would have a horse back there if I could a little mini

horse. Hey, did you ever grow up in a time where you had like someone's house where you used to go party? My house was the party house. Oh, 100% my house was the party house. We had because the thing was my mom if she listens to this, she already knows by now. She didn't know then,

but she knows now. I was such a partier and my bedroom was had a door that went to the outside. So it was like, on I had people over there all the time. And my mom wouldn't even know. We had this orange room that was like inside of my room. Had a little seating area and stuff. We would always like sit in there and be in my girlfriend. So we called ourselves the FBC, which meant the first bitches club and then our guy friends were the P-pack. I can't remember what that stood for, but I'm sure you we could guess. But we would always like hang out and like just it was my house for sure.

And I had a little pool in the backyard. So which is what I want our house to be. I would rather the kids come and hang out. Of course. Cruises friends come and hang out here so I know they're safe. Same. That's how my house was too. Did you ever try smoking cigarettes?

Oh no. Have you ever try smoking cigarettes? Oh no. Have you ever tried a cigarette? I don't think I've ever tried a cigarette. I really, that I can remember. I don't think I've ever tried a cigarette. I tried a black and mild before. That's our payment stronger. But I don't know, I was so against cigarettes.

And my sister and brother would like hide them sometimes. I would get fined and we get so mad and go tattletail on them. Yeah, my mom and dad were smokers and my sister and I hated it. We grew up with it and we didn't like it. My parents didn't smoke in the house. Nobody in my family smoked or even hardly drinks. Yeah, it was one of those things that we just didn't like. No, my sister did try it one time.

I caught her. I caught her trying it. You tattle tail. She did it in our house, in the bathroom, in our bathroom that we shared together and it's stunk Oh my gosh But I think she was at the part where she was like coming of age where she was like trying new things Yeah, and cigarettes everybody almost is try to Oh, yeah, I'm right too. I think I might have I just don't really recall it I just know that I always

Like felt a nauseous feeling in my stomach if I smell a cigarette. Even before, whenever I was a kid, I just hated the smell, it made me feel nauseous. I got somebody asked me other days, Jack, how do you both, how do you and Brittany, who makes the tough decisions in your family? Who makes the decisions that, well, that are the tough decisions? I thought that was a good question

because I think we live in a day and age now where it's a little different. And I think depending on who runs or households, I don't think anybody should run your household. I think it depends on our lives. I think it depends on the situation. Yeah, it depends on situation. Like you might make a decision about something,

but then if it comes to like his doctor's appointment and stuff like that, I'm the one that's gonna be on top of it. Do not remain, but you might help out decision about something, but then if it comes to like his doctor's appointments and stuff like that, I'm the one that's gonna be on top of it, do you know what I mean? But you might help out more with like his swim class or certain things like that, but hard decisions, we haven't really had to handle like too much. Not yet, I think we're gonna be getting into those points.

Obviously with, you know, the crews growing up, schools, and you know, just different things like that. I think we're gonna start getting into it, but the only hard decisions really we've had to make so far is like where we're that. I think we're gonna start getting into it, but the only hard decisions we've had to make so far is like where we're gonna live and where we're gonna get married. Yeah. Things like that and yeah, I mean nothing's been too crazy yet,

but I think it's kind of 50-50 right now. I think it kind of goes both ways. 50-50, but who runs the house tax? I'll have to say you're right. That's right. Who runs the house? We know what they say. happy wife, happy life. You know, don't sweat the small stuff, pick and choose your battles.

I need to learn more about the pick and choose your battles. Yeah. I've been doing it for a long time. It gets so easy when you've been together for as long as we have to just like bicker about everything. Yeah. And that's sometimes we'll have those days where we are just Bickerin and just driving each other crazy. And I hate those days, but then other days

we're just having the most fun. You know, we always get over everything, but it's really easy to fall into that pattern. I think it's different from when our parents, because my dad went to work every day. Yeah, and we're together. We, people now, work from home. So you're not only working at home,

but you have, we have the same friends. We go to bed together, we play together, we eat together, We do everything together. So it doesn't matter who you are. Sometimes you're going to drive each other crazy. It's gonna happen. We're very, very aware. And we always remember to bring it back home. We bring it back home. And we don't let our arguments last for that long. We'll switch the subject or we'll just after an hour. Take a breather. We'll take a breather for like, you know, five to 10 minutes, come back down and like totally like, hey, do you want to go do this?

So we kind of like, we kind of get it off of our heads and then just kind of just move on from it. We don't really dwell on it too much, but it happens, especially like I said, this day and age, everybody works from home. So everybody's together all the time. So yeah, that's how it works. But yeah, I got to take my honor by sometimes

because it's definitely hard. It's definitely hard sometimes Pretty someone also asked pretty what's your favorite material possession? They were excited about your Christmas and what you got for Christmas and by the way my gift is on its way It's a little late, but I think you'll be very very happy, but you got me a gift. I did I got you a gift Well, we are at the point of our our lives with our son is like Pretty and I are very very fortunate. You know, we have everything that we could possibly have We're very blessed, but so now when we do gifts we usually do trips to each other like we're gonna

Hey, we're gonna go to Disney together. I would told you guys or yeah stuff like that That's kind of like what we do now because like I said we things are things I can get them anytime I want the memories especially right now whenever he was already getting presents from other people But I think trips are and having the memories and the family time is so important. That being said, what is your favorite material possession? Oh gosh. I think I know, should I say? What do you think? I think it's your handbags. Oh, I didn't know. I thought I had to pick just one. That's why I was like, I don't know. I think when handbags, it comes to handbags. I think it's because it's, they're all the same thing, but you collect them. I like to switch them out. And I hope like one day, maybe I'll have a little girl and I can pass them down to her.

I think that'd be so cute. But I don't know, I bought those, my Christmas gift to myself, my red bottoms. I just love them so much. They're might be my favorite. She would have ever purchased myself. It's like one thing that you can wear, you're gonna wear once in a while.

Like, do you have something that you love? I mean, you just love to have, like, that's your thing. That you're like this. I mean, of course, yeah, I mean, you just love to have like, that's your thing that you're like this. I mean, of course, yeah, of course. I love my person, of course. Yeah. I mean, I guess that is something that I collect. You're the one who collects everything.

I would have to go for me. I used to, yeah, I used to collect a lot more. Obviously, when you have kids that slows down a lot because now I don't spend anything on myself anymore. Very, very rarely that I buy anything for myself anymore. Sometimes I'll say, I'll splurge and be like, oh, I want this or whatever. But I think for me, it has to be my car, my Corvette. I think my Corvette is probably. And any of my toy

collectibles that I have in the garage, like that's my little thing. I don't really have serious things in it much anymore. But my car, my cars. Yeah, that's a pretty awesome thing. I would say that if you had to work on something about yourself, what would that be? Oh Oh Jesus, how much time do you have? I would work on my punctuation because I am the biggest procrastinator when it comes to getting ready. And I'm not very good at being on time to think. So I need to work on that big time. I've asked that, I've asked a lot, what do you guys think? What do you think about operating?

I used to say nothing, but now I have one. It's her time management. Time management is a huge thing. And for me, I got a lot. Hey, I'll show up like it when I had to obviously, but like if I'm getting ready, I get so distracted. I'll like start doing my makeup and then I'll go over here and start like randomly fixing something over here,

cleaning something over there or playing with crews over here. It's like I just get so distracted. I don't know why. Something that could take me 30 minutes to get ready would take me like two and a half hours. Yeah. So I gotta fix this big time. I've been for me. It's I have a lot. I have a lot of demons and I have I've been working on them obviously for a very, very long time, some are taking longer than others. But for me, it's patients, you know, I've been using the better health that we that we one of our sponsors. I've been checking them out and they've been working out immensely, but

Yeah, just probably checking out my patients is one I'm very short tempered My father was the same way my grandfather was the same way it was just something that I was born with and I have a hard time listening Listening is a big. Oh gosh. Don't we know it. I listen like I can see what you're saying But it goes in one ear and out the other I just forget a lot. I don't know if it's with age. I don't think it's age. I think it's laziness. I think my brain is just so, like, it's just laziness. And I think that's just something that, like,

my dad was the same way. We just did not listen. And we did not, we had very short tempers. And it was just one of those things that I need to work on, especially having a son or a kid's and stuff like that. You don't want them to see that. No. Absolutely.

I'm a working out on that. But I appreciate those questions. Those are really, really don't want them to see that. No. Absolutely. I'm a working out on that, but I appreciate those questions. Those are really, really good. We get into it here. We're our own therapists on this episode. This is probably another one of my favorite questions. If you could live anywhere in the world, and money or job was not an issue, where would it be? I'll tell you that right now.

Well, we know you would live in Florida. Florida. Yeah, I think like Florida, Hawaii, some were very pretty and tropical. Hawaii is too far from family. Yeah, you can get the same perfect in Hawaii. If I can move all my family with me to like a beautiful beach somewhere, then it's on. But don't you think you would be bored

after a couple of months? No, not with all my family and friends there. No, when you say island, island like, okay, then what? Like, I think it would be beautiful. How many days can you just go to the beach and party? Like after that, you're gonna get a little bit bold. Well, there's other stuff. There's places to eat.

There's restaurants or shopping. There's just like anywhere else in the world. I mean I just think somewhere tropical for sure. Yeah, I mean I've been in a narrow down a little bit more. I would go to Florida. I think Florida is my spot. I make it very well known that I would go to Florida. And it's not even that far fetched.

I can make that happen. Well I just want to say, Jack, Jack's dad, um, the 27th marked what five years, six, six years, six years since he'd been going, are you feeling okay? Yeah, I'm okay. Um, you know, I didn't do an Instagram post about or anything just because, you know, I just don't feel like it's necessary to put it out there anymore. I felt like, you know, I, I love my father more than anything in the world and I miss him dearly, but I'm dealing with my own way. My sister deals it with her own way. My sister takes it really, really tough

and she has a really, really hard time with it. Of course. It's tough. It gets tough for every year because especially now that I have a kid and everything and my family is starting to grow. And I have a home. I mean, it's just tough, especially around the holidays.

And not only that, like, not only is it tough around the holidays, my dad died on the holidays. So yeah, it was December 27th marked his six year in heaven. Well, I just wanted to do a little shout out for him, you know. I love him dearly and I miss him dearly. And yeah, it's tough, it's tough, but I will see him again. Yes, for sure. And he's definitely it over Cruz.
