Hello everybody and welcome back to when reality hits with Jackson Brittany. Hey everybody, how's everyone doing? Jack's just got back from Montreal and Detroit, Michigan. How was your trip? Uh, wow. So first of all, uh, man, Montreal was absolutely amazing. I've been there once before, but I think it was just, I don't know what it was about this place,

but it's just so amazing. The people were so nice. The club that we went to, Pangea and Morris, all the partners with Pangea were so amazing. The food, I can't, if you never go to Montreal, you gotta go, just at least go for the food. This place that we went to called Arthur's for Breakfast

was amazing. We went to Bevo for pizza for lunch. We had this place called Schwartz's, which is ironic because Tom Schwartz is there for the deli sandwiches. And just not only that, we just walked around the city and everybody was just so nice to us. Everybody was so kind. It was just, it was such an amazing trip and I can't wait to go back in fact. In fact, we are going back in April. We are going back at the end of April to do this again. So I'm excited. Awesome.

Well, I'm glad you had fun. It was cracking me up, like how everyone was going crazy about that picture you posted with our publicist, Lori. I mean, I don't know if people know this or not, but Lori's been in our lives, not only been in our lives, it's been in Tom's life, it's been in Kristen's life, Brittany's life.

She's our, okay, let's make this clear. She's our publicist and very good very good friend of mine. So a photo like that it like people I know were saying a lot of crap about it, but it really wasn't that big of a deal. And if you look at Lori's page, she literally took almost the exact same photo with Steven McGee from Summer House and he's gay. So and Blake and Blake. And Blake. So it's just a friend. So I want to make that clear because Lori is an amazing publicist, a super hard worker. And she does so much amazing work for us. And like, I just want to make sure that we clear that up because that's just ridiculous.

She takes care of all of us. Oh, yeah. And she's amazing. This was her hometown, Montreal is her hometown. So she knows everybody. She's really excited to have us there. And it was just a lot of fun in her hometown. It's been a long time coming. So yeah, I'm glad we all cleared that up because people just need to relax

Yeah, I mean, I think that we will have to address some of rumors just a little bit I'm not gonna I'm not gonna go too hard on this because You know, some people do deserve to have their privacy But I will say like marriage is hard and people go through ups and downs all the time and it's completely normal Sometimes people might need their space. Sometimes they won't, but like I just think that the media takes things and runs with it without knowing the true facts. And I just want to make one thing clear and that is that my life is not a publicity stunt for anything. We filmed the Valley months ago, months and months and months ago and we're

super excited for this to come out and there's been so many changes That has happened in every single couple's lives every single couple on the show. So I just want to make that very clear I'm not gonna touch too much on anything else, but definitely No publicity stunts are happening here And you know just respect people's privacy a little bit because the media is just getting a little bit out of control I agree But and you also went so a, on a better note, it just had to say something about that because it's just gone all over the

place. Um, but on a different note, how was Detroit? You got to visit with your sister. First of all, the end of Montreal, I, we went to Pangea. Let me finish up with that. We went to Pangea and it was absolutely amazing. We had so much fun. People were there lining up to see us and Tom and I got behind the bar. Um, everybody was again was just so amazing that people from the Montreal Canadians the PR team. Wait, you were making drinks for people?

We were making drinks for people. Were they pre-made? Yes. Okay, I was getting ready to say because you were, I love you have a chair, not the best bartender. No, I'm not the best and it was, there's a lot of people there and I know that and I own that. I make fun of myself about that but it's kind of funny but yeah.

No muddling on Sundays. I know that and I own that. I make fun of myself about that. But it's kind of funny. But yeah, so I got behind the bar. No muddling on Sundays. I got behind the bar and I made some pre-made drinks for people. It was a lot of fun and people were excited about that. Tom got on the other side of the bar and he's actually less of a bartender than I am because he's never been behind the bar

but yet he was making drinks. Oh, he was making drinks? Yeah, he was. And yeah, but it was a lot of fun. We had a good time and like I said, everyone was hospitable, hospitable. Can I say that a good time and like I said, everyone was hospitable. Hospitable. I can say that word correctly. And like I said, what was really cool was the PR people from the Montreal Canadians

were there and they gave us both jerseys. And it was just like I said, it went by so quickly and even the beautiful hotel we stayed at, the William Gray Hotel, the staff there was so kind and we used the spa and we went on the roof. I don't know if anybody saw our social media or not, but it was just a really, really cool place. So if you've never been to Montreal and you guys are thinking about going,

maybe go in the summer, because it is a little cold, but I don't mind that kind of weather, but maybe go in the summer. But if you just go, go for the food alone. It is, I'm seeing this right here right now. It is the best food that I've ever had in my life, anywhere I've ever been. Yes, by far.

And I'm not even second-hand. I've ever been. Yes, by far. And I'm not even second- I've never been to Canada, but maybe I'll go someday. But didn't you used to like, because you could drink in, when you're 18 in Canada, didn't you used to like, drive up from Michigan before you had to have a passport to go? So, but when I was younger in the, in the nine, the midnight, mid to late nineties, I, yeah, the drinking age is 19. I am from 19.

I'm from a suburb of Detroit called Shelby Township. In the drinking age, the drinking age is 19. I am from 19. I'm from a suburb of Detroit called Shelby Township in the drinking age, obviously in Canada is 19. So we would drive to Canada, we'd cross the border, obviously in our dollar was very strong. Then it was like, I want to say it was like 50 cents on the dollar. So if you went over there with 10 bucks, you got any changed in, you got 20 back. So it was just a lot of fun. And in those days, $20 won a very long way drinks for only three or $4, so it was a lot of fun. Yeah, so yeah, we would go to Canada and we would do our drinking there

because like I said, the drinking age was 19, so it was a lot of fun. So I do have a relationship with Canada, been going for a very long time, but I used to go out to Ontario, which is really good. How long was the drive? From my house, 20 minutes.

Oh, good, you're that close? Yeah, yeah, really close to the border. But you back then you didn't have to have passports and stuff to go. No, again, this is pre 9 11. Yeah. You didn't need a passport. You barely even needed a Driver's license. They did not care at all. So and people were crossing the border from Canada to Michigan all the time for different reasons or whatever. But you've we did a lot of school shopping over there too, because like I Said, the dollar was so strong that you just get more for your money. So like I said, you change in $10, you get 20 back. So it was great.

It was a lot of fun. And the people in Canada have not changed. They're amazing, amazing human beings. In fact, I literally just got a note today that we are coming back at the end of April and I'm so excited. I think, I think we're going to be doing some different places and maybe the same place. I'm not sure exactly the details on that, but we are for sure coming back at

the end of April and I'm very, very excited about it. So and then after that, sorry. Sorry. Then after that, I decided to make a little pit stop to Detroit because it is only a two hour flight from Montreal to Detroit and it is five hours from California to Michigan and my sister just got out of a serious, really invasive serious surgery. I won't really go too deep into it, but it was pretty serious. And I wanted to make sure that I was there for the surgery.

It went great. By the way, she's OK. It was fine. But the recovery on something like this is kind of grueling. It's just got to be off of her feet technically for six weeks. She can get up for like an hour at a time. But anyway, I wanted to make sure that I was there, because her husband works a lot.

And I haven't seen my sister in a long time. And I miss my hometown of Detroit. And you went to the mall, didn't you? I saw your mini stories with like the sad song. Yeah, like so I obviously I watch a lot of stuff on Netflix and I saw this this documentary on old malls and malls closing down because let's be real, not many people go to malls anymore. And we have this mall that I went to when I was a child, not child, like teenager, everything,

we just lived at the mall. The malls were very, very important to us is growing up. That's where we went to get away from it all to have some kind of freedom to just we went on dates. I went to my first, I think I kissed my first girl there, I held my first girl's hand there. I did, I mean, we did everything at the mall. The mall was the center of our lives. And this particular mall was the center of my life. And my mom even worked there a couple times. My sister worked there. I worked there. You know, I did it just it's just the mall. And if you know, if you're our age, you know how iconic malls are. So Lakeside

Mall is I think closing down shortly. There's only like three or four stores left in the mall. A lot of them were already shut down. Yeah, a lot of them are shopping. That makes me sad. Because of the internet. You know, I feel like, you know, obviously shopping online, shopping online is going to become more of a thing. But I just wanted to go, I go, Jenny, what do you think if we go to the mall and just walk around? I love it. She's like, Oh my God, I would love that. Let's go. So yeah, we walked around a little bit of the mall and I played a little, little Madonna. I think I recognize that song. It's

the soundtrack from a league of their own, but this used to be my playing around. I just thought that was so fitting because every word in that song is it just describes my relationship with Lakeside Mall. And we had a lot of fun. We actually even took it a bit further and we went to our old neighborhood house and we parked the car and we sat out in front of the,

people probably thought we were weird, but we just got, we parked the car. It was our first home. It was the home that my mom and dad first built. And we just went there and, you know, just kind of walked a little bit and kind of strolled and it was just, it was just so nice. And it was just like, it really pulled up my heart a lot. And we just had really good time.

Kind of some brother sister time that we really, really needed. Yeah. I'm glad you got to do that. He called me was like, do you care? Cause of course I was with Cruz all weekend, which I love, but he was like, do you care if I go see Jenny? And I was like, no, I love Jenny so much. And I can only imagine, you know, how good,

how glad she was to have you there with her while she's, you know, healing and stuff. Definitely one of the best. Keeping her mind off of everything too, you know? Yeah, it was definitely one of the best trips I've had going to Michigan. Like I say, I know she's under the weather, but kind of it was just her and I,

because like I said, my brother-in-law was working a lot. And I also got to see a couple of old friends, which is really really nice some old family friends stop by And it was just really really nice kind of just reminiscing about the old times again It was that's really really nice and went to some of my favorite places I know if you've watched my Instagram and went to my favorite sub shop It's the first place I stop when I go to Michigan is a place called Boucheris That's where I get my subs at my pizza and I always go there the owners are so friendly to me So it's my first stop when I go there.

What's the dates? Uh, seven through 11th, but Friday, let's see. Um, Friday is the eighth. So we'll be there on March eighth, March 9th and March 10th. And it's not just us going, by the way, Kristen Dodie is coming and Tom Schwartz is coming. We're going to have a lot of fun. I think that first day, the first Friday is like our main day that we're

going to be there the longest. So if you get a chance to come by on Friday, well, you'll definitely see a thin and it's going to have so much fun. We're going to have some merch for sale for sure. We're going to, we're working on that right now. And actually I'm trying to figure out, see if Mamaw can make some beer cheese. So we can sell some beer cheese there. We're working it out now, all the details.

I'm trying to work out what restaurants I want to go to while I'm there. I'm thinking that's we love my favorite restaurants are like Carson's and Jeff Ruby's and oh, I love Drake's and Malone's. If you're a Lexington person, you know exactly what I'm talking about. We got to hit up 10 roof. I'm just so excited to take a shorts and Kristen around again, because they haven't been to Kentucky since well Well, actually Kristen and well her ex-boyfriend at the time, Alex, they came with us on our boat trip whenever we did the house boat trip.

So Kristen's been there a couple more times, but Schwartz has only been there for our wedding. So I'm super excited to show them around and of course can't wait to go out with my friends and see my family too. They feel so happy. Comic Con's a really, really big thing here in San Diego. It's huge. I had no idea they had one in Kentucky. And then we were all over. I had no idea. So then when we were

offered this, we were like, we kind of jumped at the opportunity. Obviously, Lexington is a small spot. And of course, we're going to Hooters. Yeah, we're gonna try to do it all. I know people are catching wind now that we're going to Kentucky. I had a few restaurants reach out to us rubies and a couple other spots. So we'll definitely be at those spots. But yes, the dates again for Lexington Comic Con are? Eighth, ninth and tenth.

Of what month? March, eighth, ninth and tenth. March, eighth, ninth and tenth. Yeah, that first Friday is gonna be our longest day there. So I'm super excited to see everybody in my home state. I love it, I can't wait. If you guys wanna message us that there's some favorite pieces of merch,

I'm kinda working on it this week to make sure I have everybody's merch available for people because I know everyone's excited about the mammoth beer cheese about, uh, about there. Yeah. We're hoping we can get all this in time, but either way, we're doing photo office. It's going to be like meeting, meeting greets. It's going to be so much fun stuff. So I'm super, super excited. And of course just being in Kentucky is the absolute best. Okay.

So now we're going to switch it up because I have been not feeling very good. I've had like a cold or flu like symptoms for a couple days now and I don't know. I just want to have some fun and also it's so funny because like if a woman gets a flu or the cold or anything like that, they can still like get things done and clean the house and do everything else. But at Jax, if you have a cold or something, it's like the worst thing ever, isn't it? Yeah, I think it's for any guy. It is for any guy.

I've seen so many memes and TikToks where it's all, it's always the same and it just cracks me up. It's, yeah, well, we take it a little extreme when Kane comes. You like to be, you like to be babied. I do like to be babied. Guys like to be babied when they're sick. And not just you, I hear this about everybody.

Guys always love to be babied. I've never seen a man not take it to the extra. Oh for sure that's what I'm saying like it could be like the The guy outside that's like working on the farm 24 seven they can still want to be baby Whenever they have the cold, you know, I mean we got to get into this I'm not gonna die too much into it, but what is going on with Sandoval? Oh my God. What? Okay. Tom is already in the doghouse. And then to say what he said, comparing his situation to OJ Simpson and George Floyd, that was so disrespectful, so disgusting, and I'm so embarrassed. I'm so, I just don't understand why he needs to open his mouth. He should never be doing podcasts right now.

He should not be doing any press. He should be laying low, just kind of keeping his cool, do, you know, keeping his head above water, but just kind of stay out of the line. It's just disgusting to even compare something so horrible that happened to them, just something that he did where he, all he, like what he did was he cheated. It had nothing to do with like these huge racial problems and issues. And there's just no, no, no, no comparison. And it just was so, it was just so disgusting. I have to believe that he was trying to say something else and it got skewed or did he get misinterpreted or... I think he was. But he still said the words and there's no

like excuses that can be made for that. So I am glad that he said an apology, but goodness gracious, he's just got to stop. He's got to stop talking. He did the same thing when he went to that Nick viles podcast. He just kind of went without permission and showed up drunk and just started spewing stuff. I felt so bad for Schwartz on that. Yeah. And Schwartz has hooked himself to the wrong carriage. That's for sure. Yeah. Because this, he's, I mean, I just, I can't believe he said that. And you know, I have seen Tom recently and he's been very, very kind. And whenever I've seen him and I was like I just, I can't believe he said that. And, you know, I have seen Tom recently and he's been very, very kind whenever I've seen him.

And I was like, oh, you know, he's really trying. And then he goes and does this and just puts himself right back in it. I just don't understand it. And we obviously do not agree with anything that he said. And I'm just, you know, very disgusted by his actions. So we got into a new TV show, new topic. We got into a new TV show, which I'm really crazy about.

In fact, I'm behind on one episode. I'm assuming you watched the last episode, right? Capote vs. the Swans. I haven't watched it yet, no. You haven't? Okay, yeah, so I gotta watch that. I don't know if you've even watched this. Yeah, a few Capote vs. the Swans.

It is so good. It is really, really good. I don't know, we got hooked into this. We got hooked into it, and then I kind of fell into it. It's been such an amazing show. I love the show. I can't wait to finish watching it. The acting is incredible. Yeah. Oh, the actors in it is amazing. And now I never watched the original Truman Capote, which I'm going to now with

Philip Seymour Hoffman. I know it's an older movie, but I had no idea just the story behind it. And like watching this, it just, it gives me a little bit of a Mark Cherry vibe to it. It gives me a little bit of a desperate housewives. It gives me a little bit of a, desperate housewives. It gives me a little bit of a, why women kill, why women kill. What's the other big one that everybody, American Horror Story. It's got a little bit of,

American Horror Story, desperate housewives, Mark Cherry. It's got a little bit of all that. If you guys like these shows in this, and it's just incredible. I love it. So definitely watch it.

Brittany and I are definitely really hooked on it. So yeah, just a little tap into that. That's everyone likes to know what we're watching. I love like all the fashion and then whenever I went like looked at the real people, like they're real, you know, it's like, um, they're real pictures of the actors and stuff like from the actual times they had the best fashion even back then. They were all fashion icons, like just seeing that society that they lived in and the differences and like people just smoke cigarettes like all the freaking time. There was just a lot going on but it was really good. I really hope he wins an award for this because his acting, I can't remember his name, we'll have to fact check that later, is Holland. I think it's Hollander who plays Capote and I man to get into

that character because he's it's an an unusual character to play and he does great All the actors and actresses do an amazing job in that. I mean it was casted so well And that's what makes it so good. I love that Beyonce's new single Texas Holm has debuted as a number one billboards hot country songs charts So Beyonce not only queen of pop She now is a number one Billboard charted country music star. And as a country girl myself, I love it! Go Beyonce! I think it's awesome. She looks so cute in her cowboy hat too.

I got another question from somebody who was asking me about, Jacks, what do you feel about hanging out with your doctor, your personal doctor? And I thought that was a pretty unusual question. I thought it was pretty interesting. I have hung out with my doctor, your personal doctor. And I thought that was a pretty unusual question. I thought it was pretty interesting. I have hung out with my doctor. We're really close with a doctor, Laki and Dr. Payment.

I've not really hung out with Payment too much, but I have hung out with Dr. Laki. And I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I don't think there's hanging out with Dr. Laki. Yeah, but they're plastic surgeons. They're not like your- What do you think? Do you think hanging out with your doctor is okay?

Like would you go get a cocktail with your, I mean, I guess pediatrician or your personal doctor, your OBGYN? I think stuff like that's a little bit different than a plastic surgeon. Okay, what about your personal doctor, the one that you go see to for physicals? I don't know. I think that might be a little weird. It depends on if you knew them before or not before. Like if you ever grew up as friends and then they became your doctor, that's different. But if you started off as your doctor and then you started hanging out with them, that might be a little awkward. Dr. Justin Marchegiani Yeah, I guess. Yeah, I guess– Yeah, I guess you're right.

Dr. Kali Yeah. Dr. Justin Marchegiani Yeah. Dr. Justin Marchegiani I kinda go back and forth. My plastic surgeon though, I just love those guys– Dr. Kali Oh yeah. I mean, but they were also– Dr. Justin Marchegiani I hung out with them so many times and I love them to death. Dr. Justin Marchegiani Uhm, back in the– Well, not so much anymore before we had kids. But yeah, so that was a good question. I guess it really depends

on what kind of doctor– Dr. Kali Yeah. Dr. Justin Marchegiani I guess in the circumstances. Dr. Kali Yeah, like– Dr But yeah, so that was a good question. I guess it really depends on what kind of doctor. Yeah. I guess in the circumstances. Yeah, like, yeah, for sure. I don't know about going out with your OBGYN all the time. Well, no, I mean, I guess if it's your girl, if it's a girl, OBGYN, and you're going out for cocktails, I don't know. I don't know.

Never been in that situation. So I got another question. Jack's what, who makes that leather jacket that I was wearing in Montreal? That's funny. You said that I got that jacket. Who said that? Do you have their Instagram name? No, I was on Instagram.

I didn't quite catch who it was. The name of the company is called MacAge and I got it in Montreal, but it is on Instagram. It's MACKAGE. MacAge. It's a leather jacket. I wore it a little bit. I didn't wear it too much because it was raining and you're not supposed to wear leather in the rain, but I didn't really understand that because cows are always in the rain.

Oh my gosh. Did you just say cows are always in the rain? Cows are in the rain when you leave them out in the field, right? Yeah, but like they're still alive and there are cows like they have fur and stuff. Leather is made. Oh my gosh. Also, you're supposed to be wearing faux leather now. You're supposed to be wearing faux leather. I only have all faux. Like I don't have any real leather anymore. I have not had that in years and years and years and years. Oh, well, this was this was a gift to me and I really

love that jacket and it's already been made. So I cannot like you said, I'll stand in the rain. You think about it. Can't tell you're off the rain. Do you think that they're gonna expand or shrink whenever they stand in the rain? You just get really crazy when you wear a leather jacket out in the rain. That is hilarious. That is hilarious. Oh my gosh.

Okay. Oh, I heard another thing that the people are doing right now. The, sorry, we're just kind of jumping all over today. Taylor Swift fans are wearing diapers to concerts, so they don't have to go to the bathroom and miss a song. What do you think about that? Oh my gosh. That is a little ridiculous.

That's, it's true. True story people are wearing Diapers not I'm not sure what age these girls are but they're so scared depends. I'm sure missing a Taylor Swift song by going to the bathroom That they're wearing diapers. That is insane I well, you know what the lines at concerts and games and stuff like that can be ridiculous But still like go pee before go after, you'll be fine. Don't tap the keg, that's what we always say in Kentucky, like don't tap the keg, as soon as you pee for the first time if you're out drinking all night,

then it's over and you gotta keep going and going and going. Guys, I gotta tap into something that I have been tapping to every week lately and I feel like it's becoming a thing, airplane drama. Jack's airplane drama, and guess what happened? Nothing with the airline this time, nothing with the flight attendants. My dumb ass decided to leave my iPad on the plane.

So I'm still trying to track it down. So if anybody on United has my iPad. He lost it on his first flight. This is what happens whenever I'm not traveling with him, guys. On my first flight, I had it like so I was sitting first class and there was like a little cubby hole on the side of the plane and I was like, Oh, I'm gonna put my iPad right here. Sure enough, I forgot it. And not only that, it was an international flight.

So good luck me getting the iPad back. You're probably never getting that back. They're like, I called you had a passcode on it, right? I have a passcode on it. Okay, good. I don't really know people can. I can clear it from your phone on find my friends. I think I'm gonna be just to be safe. Yeah. But I'm hoping somebody returns and I'm gonna call today. In fact, guys, I know you're gonna be reading this tomorrow or hearing this tomorrow. Sorry. I just got home today. So I'm gonna have to do some calling. I got some things that I gotta do now that I hear. I got laundry and I got to call my kind of call

The lost and found and get my iPad back But yeah, that's what happened on the last of the airplane drama with Jack's I feel like every time I fly something happens It does something happens. It definitely does other than that the airlines were great Everybody was great easy flying this time. It was just my dumb ass who decided to leave my I mean, it was just my dumb ass who decided to leave my safe flight at least. So that's good. Aren't you getting ready to do a concert in Vegas or go to a concert? Vegas. Oh, um, yes.

That's an aunt in May. Um, I've got tickets to lovers and friends. I'm so excited. Why don't you explain to people what that is? Oh my gosh. So the lovers and friends, it's basically like a huge festival that usher puts on. And I'm taking my best friend Kara She lives in Vegas and it's her birthday her birthday's May 5th and the concert is on May 4th

But let me read y'all this line up and I'm just gonna name some of the people okay Obviously usher Janet Jackson backstreet boys Snoop Dogg Lil Wayne Alicia Keys Gwen Stefani Street Boys Snoop Dogg Lil Wayne Alicia Keys Gwen Stefani Nelly Furtado Sierra TLC Naws Ludacris Nelly Mary J Blas Jal rule Ashanti TLC MIA T-Pain ACON Neo Timberland Keisha Cole Brandy Monica Eve. I mean I could go on and on and on. There's still like 10 more rows. Jeremiah, Robin Thick, 98 degrees, Tyrese, Ti. I mean, oh my God, I'm just so excited. I am so, so excited. And some of my friends from home are going, I mean, that's like, that's like the dream lineup for me. That's all my favorite music, all like late 90s, early 2000

hip hop. I mean, it's going to be like the best day ever. So how many days am I going to be alone with Cruz? Probably just two nights. No, I don't mind. I literally just got back from Montreal and I got back from Michigan and I texted you a couple days ago. I'm like, you deserve a girl's trip. Make sure you book a trip with the girls and go to Mexico or do something because I feel so bad. I always feel so awkward. Not awkward. I just feel bad. I don't need to feel bad. Brittany's a great mother and she'd

let me, I'm very fortunate where she kind of lets me go do what I want. But I always feel bad. I'm like, gosh, I'm gone too long. And I'm just, I feel like I'm, she's there by herself and she needs help. So I'm like, make sure hopefully you book a trip soon and go to Mexico with your girlfriends or something. I think you need a trip. It's time. Yeah, for sure. I'm definitely gonna, I cannot wait for that, but I'm definitely like thinking about Cabo or something soon too, because I just want to go somewhere tropical. It's been so much rain here in LA. And that's another crazy thing.

Like the rain here, I know it's been like some people who I'm praying for you have had like the power outage. They've had like mudslides and horrible things like that. But for me, being a girl from Kentucky, it just seems like normal rain. But here in LA where we don't get it. I mean, the ground, everything's flooding. It's just like insane because it just seems like a normal rainstorm. LA is not built. Everybody knows that. It's not built for rain. So we flood. Yeah. But quick. It's been, it's been, we've been getting a ton of rain. And I feel bad. Like, I always get so worried about all those houses in the hills on the stilts.

Like I get so worried for them that they're going to slide down or something. I mean, it's scary. It's really scary because we drive to cruises school and his school is like kind of on the way up the mountains and you can just see these houses that are look like they're on stilts. Yeah. And it's just like, oh my gosh, how are these houses engineered to stay on these hills?

It's just incredible. But in hindsight, that means Big Bear is going to be looking good because all the rain we get here turns to snow at Big Bear. And I am a big skier and I'm actually trying to plan a ski trip with my guys right now, kind of a weekend warrior trip. That's what I call them. Kind of your in and out. Hold up, hold up.

I thought I was getting a girl's trip. You were. No, 100% I mean, we still got you. I'm like, what? Hold on. You are. It's just, you know, the winter months, I like to try to go at least skiing twice a year. And I like to do it during the week, like, because there's

nobody on the mountain, but I just called my friend that lives up there. He said, because of all the rain that we're getting in LA, that means the mountains, Big Bear, Mammoth are getting pounded with power. Have we talked about my ski story on here yet? Oh, I don't know. Yeah.

I, we don't bring Britney's. No. Okay. So whenever I was younger, I used to be able to snowboard had no fear. I loved it. So whenever I started dating Jack, he gets me all the suits like everything North Face had like the key to stuff on ever. Well, let's back up. I was trying to impress her. Yeah, I was trying to impress. So I was like in the beginning. I was like, I'm throwing out the credit card

here. We're going shopping. She's never been skiing as far as I'm known or so but I was like, I'm throwing out the credit card here. We're going some shopping. She's never been skiing as far as I've known her. So, but I was like, I just used to ski on like the farm, not skiing, but like, you know, snowboard sledding, tubing on our farm hills, you know? That's a very small hill. Yeah, like nothing for real for real.

So I decided to like, you know, all right, I'm gonna outfit her. I'm gonna get her all the goods, all the, all the, whatever she needs. And we're all gonna go as a trip. Like everybody went on this trip. Like Tom and Ariana and we had everybody. Everybody was on the trip.

And Brittany, I go, what do you wanna do? Do you wanna ski or snowboard? She's like, I'm definitely gonna snowboard because that's the cool thing to do. I'm an old. No, it's because I've actually done it before I'd never done skiing before. But I'm talking years and years.

I'm an old fart, so I ski. I'm one of the last few of the skiers. And I enjoyed, I personally cannot have both feet trapped into one ski. I'm one of the last few of the skiers and I enjoyed. I personally cannot have both feet trapped into one board. I think that's absolutely insane, but that's just me. Anyway, so she decides to snowboard. You want to tell the story? Yeah. So first off, I don't like heights. My belly turns. I get like that vertigo stuff. I don't like it. So we're getting on the ski lift and I had not done like any lessons or anything I just thought it was gonna come back to me and I was gonna be fine So I'm on the ski lift and one of my feet is hooked into the board and the other one is it

I'm already we're up on the lift I think it was me Jackson our friend Eddie and I'm just like freaking out already We finally get to where I have to get off. I try to stand up Immediately fall on my stomach as all these other people are going over my head with their skis and stuff On the ski lift So I'm just sitting there laying in the instructors and everybody are like running out to me like don't move don't move Don't move and with all these skiers and stuff above me. So I was Traumatized so I was already so embarrassed

I had it took me forever to get up on that one freaking leg on the board or whatever. So I have to like roll over on the hill and we're on the bunny hill mind you. So I just sit down for a little bit off to the side. There's like three year olds going down the hill. Like everybody's just like going past me. Jackson's already went down the hill and came back up like six times. I'm still sitting there. I was like, am I going to do this? Am I not going to do it? Like, nobody was taking the time to help me or like trying to teach me anything. So I was like, all on my own and I was kind of freaking out and I was already over it because of what happened on the ski lift. So I took off the board and I walked down the

bunny hill and I went to the bar and that was my experience. I'm never going again. I will stay in the cabin, stay in the hot tubs and the beautiful cabins with all the snow. I love that part of it. And I do love the tubing and stuff. Me and the girls the next day went tubing and I think that is so fun. I'll do all that stuff, but no more ski lift for me ever, ever, ever, ever, ever.

It was traumatizing, but it's a good story to tell. It was a good story and it was really, really funny. And it was definitely a good time. But yeah, so now when we go up, I basically go skiing by myself and she stays inside. Yeah, for sure. We haven't gone with crews yet. So this will be interesting.

Yeah, it'll be fun. I could do like little cute like, you know, like little sledding stuff with him while you're skiing. You know, we can still do that like next year. So anyway, back to my story. The powder is banging in Big Bear right now. And I cannot wait to get up there with the boys. I'll make sure that I, you know, talk about that and get some tons of video of that stuff too.

We'll get all the boys together. But also another side note, kind of to segue into something else that shooting at the chief's parade. Oh my gosh, heartbreaking. So heartbreaking. Sending prayers to the family. Just absolutely awful. It's gotten so bad everywhere in the world right now. I mean, I's just, they gotta do something. The world's gotta change. I know they didn't go fund me for them. I know Taylor Swift donated $100,000 to the family. A lot of the players did, which is great,

but it's just like, oh my gosh, such senseless acts. And, you know, we gotta change and do better America because this is just getting ridiculous. Now I know people have been asking me, Jax, why aren't you recapping the new Vanderpump? And we are gonna start next week. I just wanted it to get ahead a little bit, why aren't you recapping the new Vanderpump? And we are going to start next week. I just wanted it to get ahead a little bit. I didn't want to do episode by episode episode.

I think next week we're going to start diving into it and we're going to break it down hardcore. I just wanted everyone to get a little bit of, kind of dive into the show a little bit. I think we're going on what, week three or week four on Vanderpump? I'm not sure, but I'm just so excited. The valley's coming closer and closer and closer.

It is getting closer. It is getting closer, but it's also getting closer to the return of Jack's Taylor on the Vanderpump rules. The valley is, I just can't wait for that. Oh my God. It's going to be awesome. I'm excited to be back. When reality hits is brought to you by progressive insurance. Most of you listening right now are probably multitasking. Yep.

I knew what was going on but I just couldn't watch with my parents.

It's like the most awkward silence or silence. Oh my gosh one time I'll never forget this. I said the word vagina. I didn't even know what it meant. I was like five years old and that's not even like a bad word because it's an actual part of the woman's body. But it was like, it was just insane that I said anything like that. Like my family was so shocked that I knew the word. Everybody was like, what is going on? But then again, at the same time,

I was listening to like songs like you ain't gotta say too much from the, like in your eyes, I can tell you what. Not knowing what any of those lyrics meant. I think back about that too.
