Hey guys, welcome back to When Reality Hits with Jackson Brittany. How's everybody doing today? Hello everyone. Thanks for listening. All right, let's get into it. We got a lot to talk about. Hey, let me jump in here folks. We were talking about parenting and wisdom.

You want to impart to your child and everybody wants to be an influencer these days. And you got a couple years, five, six years old. He comes says, mom and dad, you know, when we were kids, everybody wants to be a firefighter and a doctor and a lawyer and all these things. Cruz comes to you and says, mom, dad, when I grow up, I want to be a reality star. I will die. What do you say?

Well, I mean it. I mean, what do you say? I mean, I guess we just got to let our kid follow his dreams, I guess, and do whatever he wants to do. As long as he's not on us, I mean, I don't even know. I don't even know what to say. You know, I, sure, I mean, who might it tell him not to do so?

Hey, if we go back on TV, Cruz is coming back on TV, so he might already be a little reality star by then. Yeah, I guess I would shut him down. I mean, I would give him my advice and Brittany would give him an advice and say, this is what you shouldn't do, maybe, or maybe you're the pros and cons.

You can do whatever you want, but this is my advice. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, I'm gonna have to let him choose his own ways. That's. We wanna support Cruz in whatever he decides to do. And I wanna put him in a bunch of different things they can find out what he really loves. Well, pretend I'm Cruz right now.

What's the number one thing I should not do if I, if and when I become a reality star? You should not. Just basically watch your father and do everything oppositely with you. Yeah, exactly. There you go. Act like your mother, not your father.

There you go. Perfect, perfect. That's it. Act like your mother, not your father. Yeah, that's a should be, and you should be just fine. That's my, I love that question. Steve. Hey, if you could be on anybody's podcast today, I know you don't follow podcast, but maybe you can just tell me so, say that. You don't follow a lot of podcasts. I, I just got into podcasts. You're obsessed with Sebastian. You talked about it 20 times. I am, but I also, if I could be on anybody's podcast right now, I have to think the best podcast out there right now

is Theo Vaughn. He's probably my favorite right now. I have to say, I love everybody. I do, I love, I love guys my age comedians and talking about parenting and there's a lot of dad podcasts. I love all those because they're all, we're all kind of going through this together. But right now, I'm having a really good time with Theo Vaughn and I've been listening to him pretty much every time I travel. I got another, another question from Christopher. What are your trips like when you guys are filming and are they fun? Uh, when you're filming a reality show and you go on a trip, it's a lot of hurry up and wait. We obviously have fun and it's make a good time out of everything, but you definitely

are waiting around a lot. Because you gotta wait for cameras and stuff. Yeah, they're not as fun as everybody thinks. Don't get me wrong, I'm working on it. We have fun, but it's a lot of like Brittany just said. We're waiting around for, you know, and really late nights, really early morning. So you're getting woken up,

being really hungover with the camera crew, right in your room, and they always have like, keys to our rooms so that they can camera crew right in your room. And they always have like keys to our rooms so that they can just like let themselves in and stuff. So you never know. You never know. And it's just like, okay, we have dinner at six. And then you got to make sure that they get there first

because they have to set up their cameras, all the lighting and everything has to be set up. And that takes such a long time. So everything is really planned out. Yeah, because it has to be. You have to have permission, no matter what kind of TV show you're filming. It doesn't matter. Yeah, when you guys see TV shows and you see people walking into stores, restaurants, anywhere,

nowadays if you pretty much walked on the street, you have to have permission from the city or whatever. So nothing is just, oh, look at, they're just walking into the store. It's not. Everything has to be planned out 24 hours in advance. These stores have to be notified. The city has to be notified. You can't just put things on TV without coming in. I like this question that you wrote down, Jacks. If they did a Vanderpump Rules movie, who would you want to play you? Where'd you see that, I'm not sure.

You're reading my thing? I say did a Vanderpump movie. Who would play me? That's a great question. I don't know. Who do you think would play me? I think the guy who played Gaston in Beauty and the Beast with his name Luke. Gosh, you can't think of that. I have to get a guy. Look at him.

But you need a guy. He looks just like you. You need a guy that's gonna be feisty and gonna be fine. Yeah, but he looks like you. Yes, that's so true. He played Gaston in Beauty in the bass. He could definitely do that. I follow him on Instagram.

He's like, he's the older version of you. So it would have to be somebody young, I guess, to play. It's like I did like a movie of the past. But I just think he looks so much like you. Yeah. Who do you think looks like you? I don't know. I don't know who would play who would play me in today's holiday. Jack always says, anytime because I love vampire diaries, so anytime I'm watching that,

he's always like, whenever I was young, I looked like you and smoked, what's his last name? He and Smolder Hunt. Steve, I'll make sure I get you the picture of my identical, I have a picture that I look spot on like Ian Smolderholder. I don't know if it's Smolderholder or so. The hot, a very fire who plays. I apologize. Was it Damian? I apologize for for butching your name,

but you're a good looking dude and I and people told me I was like you. So I'll make sure I get you that picture. So we'll pull that. That's not a bad one to look like. No, it's not. You know who would be good at playing me. City Swini.

Oh, well, she don't even look like me, but you're in love with her. No, somebody who would be funny is the girl who's in for Christmas's and she's also had that. Oh, yes, you would be good. Yes. American housewife or whatever TV show. She's amazing. Oh, yeah, you would be good. American housewife or whatever TV show. She's amazing. I love Reese with her spoon.

I love Reese with her spoon. I've thought about her before. No, this girl is on American housewife. They're all Google really. She's the mom. I'm an American housewife. And she's in four chrisises. She plays, um, she's sitting at y'all in four chrisises.

She plays, uh, Vince Vaughn's brother's wife. And she's like pregnant and they're sitting across from each other doing it. game where you have to like, oh yeah, she's got really white teeth. Yeah, she's really pretty. What's her name? She's really pretty. Katie, Katie Mixen. Katie Mixen. Yeah, she's really pretty and she's funny too. She's really funny. No, I like her a lot. But yeah, maybe her or, yeah, I love Reese with her. Jennifer Lawrence is from Kentucky too, so that's cool. So by the way, if you all forgot about that scumbag shake, he was on the show, love is blind. He showed us true colors a couple weeks ago in Johnny Banana.

It's called amount on what a douchebag he is after talking to Corinne, acting the way he did to Corinne. Yet, yet, just a little in women yet again. So again, I think I've shown us true colors, but I'm excited to finally say, I don't wanna say it every week wrong, I'm finally coming back. On the 21st. 21st. So Jack.

So next week. Yeah, so Jacks will be back. You guys are gonna love my return. And we'll be watching it and contacting. There's a twist and you're gonna love it. Hey, I will give you guys a shout out, though, House of villains, because it's like the highest

rated new TV series. That's right. We're beating out everybody else. That's really cool. That's right. Too bad you're only on like three episodes. But I'm coming back for the finale. And the finale is the most important. Yeah, for sure. I

they don't get rid of the number one guy that easily. I do not. You know, everybody else come back or just you? Um, I can't remember. This is such a good thing. I, you know me. I'm selfish. I only care about myself.

Oh my gosh. Oh, yeah. So congrats to all my cast members on the show being the highest rated show. Yeah. Congrats to the E network and NBC as well. Uh, what do you think about, oh, this is my new, next question, which I like and I'll tell you why. What do you think about, oh, this is my next question, which I like and I'll tell you why.

What do you think about social media platforms charging people now for the blue check mark? Now can I give you, tell me why, I'll tell you why I like it. I like it for the reason that we are on television. And there's a lot of people that make fake profiles. So I like the reason, I have like six or seven fake profiles of myself. So I like the blue check mark. Of course, yeah, you know, but why do people have to pay for it?

It should just be like you have to verify it like we already did. I think it's I think everybody should should be able to get a verified check mark because that way you know the person you're talking to is legit. Oh, I see what you're saying. But Elon Musk is making everybody pay right now. Do you remember whenever we first started dating and people made fake profiles of me and they were like texting your family trying to get them to give money. But they were like saying it.

I was like, your aunt or something. She almost fell for it. I know. Like if they're in a blue check mark, don't be. I know. People are up there. And then your money people, there's so many scams out there. Geez.

Do not follow anybody on social media that you think is a celebrity or someone that's, you know, YouTube, whatever on social media, unless they are verified. Do not. And I think this situation is something that like goddess, having our stalker, we had a stalker. It was a very scary situation. But she like truly believed that Jackson was going to leave me for her. And I was pregnant during this time.

And she like actually thought Jackson was going to help her get her kids back and like all this crazy stuff. But what I think happened is somebody might have made like a fake profile page of you and was talking to her because she truly believed those things. Right, right. Like whenever she walked into our home, she was smiling at me like she was supposed to be in my house. Yeah, she guys, we had a soccer.

It was the creepiest thing. We ever talked about this? We've, we've hit on it a little bit, but I think that that could have been a possibility of why she like really thought. I mean, she was obviously crazy. She was a little bit crazy. But she had, but maybe somebody was acting like you

because she kept saying she was like trying to give you money for a divorce and saying that you were gonna help her, get her kids back and it was like money, like thing. Oh, divorcence and you were going to help her get her kids back and it was like money. Like thing. It was bad. Somebody might have scammed her and she believed it. Well, I know another man went through this because another guy got a hold of me and she I was she finally left that new to came on to me. So hopefully what she was dealing with there

was like the girl who stalked us. She had three other restraining orders against her. Yeah, she had done it to other people. So it was a scary situation. I was pregnant and she came and walked into my house. Yeah, she walked right into our house. I was taking in the groceries from the drive. Well, you know when you guys are unloading your car and you're taking your groceries and putting them in the house, what?

So I had no clue where my phone was either because it was in one of the bags. And I stupidly did not shut my gate. And at that time, I didn't have a code on my gate. I do know. But at that time, I didn't have a code. And I just walked in the house and she walked right behind me. It was a very scary situation.

But, uh, and she like, let me tell you all some weird stuff that this lady did. She would like bring presents for Cruz and like put pictures of her kids and ride on the back and say like, Cruz's brothers and would like leave them at our house. And then she brought like one walkie talkie. I guess for us to communicate with her or something. And then she brought sidewalk chalk and she drove,

she rode on our driveway. Why are you, what the fuck scared? And that was when she rode on our driveway. And it was like, it was terrifying. She ended up getting taken on a 72 hour like mental hole and they ended up keeping her for over a month Yeah, they had to like announce they had a call us and let us know when she got out of jail It was scary. It was scary. Yeah, they had to like the holder and she's yeah, and I don't I don't know what happened

We don't see her anymore. No, every since we we like doubled down on security around our house and our gates and our locks and everything So she would have to actually climb over our fence to get to our door now. Yeah, there's no way. We have zip ties and everything. We're not getting into our house. Yeah.

Brittany, I, this is a private question for you. What's the fanciest place you and Brittany have eaten? And what are yours and Brittany's favorite places to eat? I don't know, it's kind of the same thing. I'm going to tell, we have a lot.

I love Munchattos and Malibu. It's where we go for either Easter or Mother's Day every year. I love it so much, the Cholansi bath is awesome. That's why probably my favorite restaurant in LA. I mean, there's so many beautiful ones here, but that's like my special place. That's our fancy place because it is very expensive. And it's right on the water,

and I see it dolphin every time I go there. I mean, you definitely pay out the kazoo for it. Mine, I would have to say my go-to is Craig's. It's my go-to, it's every time I go there. I mean, definitely pay out the kazoo for mine. I would have to say my go to is Craig's. It's my go to it's my go to spot. Yeah, but I do have a new favorite place that's located on a wheelchair called steak 48. Oh, that places get with with Jesse and Michelle. Yeah.

And let me tell you guys if you want a nice date out here, if you're out with your boys and you're looking for a good steak, go to it's on own wheelchair close to Beverly Hills area. It's called steak 48. I want to say Mastros. I want to say Mastros is part owner or they're affiliated with it somehow. Well, they do this cool thing where they come

and they bring you like a tray with all these beautiful different knives and you pick out your knives that you're gonna eat your steak with. It's kind of like your Harry Potter. You know, you're like, and you're taking your wand. That wasn't that. That was the other place. That was Glenn. That's where we went. That's steak 48 is where we went to the nice steakhouse.

That's when we went to the comedy show. That was called the Owen or the Glenn. Oh, well, that place was awesome. Yeah. Well, we went to a Michelin star restaurant. I asked our friend Jesse to take us to a Michelin star, a very fancy place. And that was on, that was on Sunset. I can't remember what it was called, the Gwen or Owen, or I can't remember what it was called, but it was awesome. I mean, just like Brity said, they brought like steak, a knife option. And they're all beautiful, like all silver

and like all different designs. They just went from China, this one's from Japan, this one was from different, whatever. But they were all just like different looking. And you got to pick like your own one, and it just made me feel like I was in Harry Potter picking my what my wand. I can't remember the name of it. It was the Glenn or the I the Glenn or whatever. I'm talking about steak 48 the next

month right both are wonderful. Yeah. Anyway. Um, but you know, obviously everybody knows Brittany and I love our chain restaurants. We love hooters. That's my favorite food. We love hooters. And sadly, our closest one is Long Beach right now, which sucks the only time we go there is when we go to the aquarium. But right now, I mean, obviously, like I said, we talk about all the time. What do we do?

We order out backstage house. We order, what do we order? Out back. How are you just gonna tell our whole, but I mean, we love a good chain restaurant. I've been in a Hobachi lately. Yes, we've been in a Hobachi. Got him getting hungry right now.

I know, because I'm a bachi, please. Do you think this is my own question? Do you think it's easier or harder to be a teenager these days? Harder, for sure. Much, much harder. And because of the things we were talking about earlier, social media. Social media.

For sure. Yeah. And I feel like the kids, like whenever I was in like seventh grade, I did not look like the kids that are in seventh grade now. The girls definitely did not look, I don't know what they're putting in the food these days, but- It's because they all are tick talkers and stuff so they do makeup really young

and like all these like trendy looks and stuff really young. I didn't do that stuff until I was in like high school and you know, older. So I feel like everybody, it's just, I don't know, everybody looks like a little tick talker, especially in LA. Yeah. Oh, I got another question.

This is a good one. Are you guys you know, Brittany going to church still? We haven't been to church in a long time. We it's not that we don't want to go. We just haven't really found a good one that we liked. I was going before COVID quite a bit to the one midwilshard. The one that everybody goes to church home.

The one where you see Justin Bieber, the car to Ashley, the whole time. And we sat behind Courtney and Travis Barker before they were ever even dating. Yeah, yeah, we were there. Yeah, and I'm not going to get too much into religion. And you guys are asking me to, if I'm going to get Cruz involved in church, I just want him to believe in something. I don't really care what it is, as long as he believes in something.

I definitely want him to grow up in church. And you know, he can make his own decisions, but I 100% want him to grow up in church. I grew up in church. Yeah, you know, he can make his own decisions, but I 100% want him to grow up in church. I grew up in church, pretty grew up in church. For sure. No doubt about it. Yeah, I just, I just, I know church can be boring. It's so I've tried it. Oh, I love it.

I just, my dad was the children's church minister. I just, we had the most fun he did puppet shows. I mean, we went to church camp every week or every summer at Wesley Woods. I mean, some of my favorite memories were church. Mine too. And I'm not talking about that portion of it, but the portion of church where they sit and they go through the Bible and they read all this. I know that can be boring at times.

I get it. The church that I found that Brittany and I were going to was relating God more into today's world. They would kind of have situations that would go on the world and they'd relate God to today. But I don't want to get too much in a religion. I just want to bring that up. But yes, we do. Our open to looking for new churches and just kind of whatever crews wants to do. We don't care. You know, I guess I love going to church. It kind of brings humility,

which I feel is important. Oh, I love, it makes me feel amazing. And I go, to be honest, I really go to talk to my dad. You know, I feel like everybody should believe in something. And it's one of those things that just makes me feel good talking to my dad there. So, and you get to check in with yourself. So, whatever. Do you feel like having a common faith or some kind of ideology like that dictates who your friends are these days?

Um, not in LA. No. Because there are just so many different religions and backgrounds and stuff here. So I feel like, you know, I just feel like it's a big mixture. Yeah. Back home, everybody's kind of the same and like Kentucky. And we're on the Bible belt. So it's like hardcore, but here is a lot more. Majority of my friends here are Jewish. My majority of my friends are Jewish here.

I have some friends from Egypt. I got some friends, yeah, I got friends for everywhere. So it's kind of, it's very diverse here. It's very diverse. And I love that about LA. I really do. I guess that talks about, you think we're gonna live in California forever?

I know people ask us this all the time. I don't think so. I mean, I don't know though. Now we have a bar that we opened and we've just got so many awesome projects coming up that might keep us here for a while at least. I always said I'm never gonna raise kids here. Now my kids starting for,

yeah, but we love a school. I do, I do love a school. And I bring you just got his- They just send me the list of like, what is gonna have to pack in his backpack and all that stuff? I got like a monogrammed lunch box and backpack and I got little sandwich cutters so I can make sandwiches into shapes.

And I'm just gonna be one of those moms that like has like the really cute shapes sandwiches and every single day. Oh, I can't wait to be that dad too. Like I'm gonna date myself here. This is a movie that I absolutely love called Mr. Mom with Michael Keaton. I am gonna be that guy. I'm gonna be waving traffic through. I'm gonna be like part of the PTA.

Uh-uh, like in this way, out this way, I'm gonna have the orange vest on. I'm gonna be like in all the gossip with the parents and let me tell you, my school is very gossipy. I can already tell. I already tell the mom's. You're gonna love it. I have gossipy. Jack likes to gossip a lot more than I do. So he's gonna wanna be all up in it.

All right, we're banging. Sorry. Yeah, I do. I do. And I feel like the moms are gossiping. The guys that I talked to that might, their daughters have went to and their daughters and sons have went to our school.

They said, careful, the parents love to gossip. So that's going to be good. I think we'll fit Rodion. Yeah. I mean, I'm excited. I'm excited to be part of like all the organizations, PTA and all that stuff. You know, maybe I'm going to go all out with everything. Do I want to live in California forever though, asking the original question? No, I don't.

I don't, but I don't really have a choice right now. Like Brittany said, we have a bar here. We are planning on expanding the bar to a different places Hopefully that I can kind of move out when that happens, but we just got so much going on right now And obviously we'll tell you more about all that stuff later, but yeah, there's just a lot going on right now Which is great. Yeah, very excited. I'm sorry. Can I go to the bathroom? Okay, maybe maybe you can talk about something for a second. Let's just talk a little bit You want to know what happened to me the other day? I don't know maybe

what you think about this. So I was in the airport and I get asked for my picture all the time. People go, my pay jacks, go take your picture, whatever. What do you think? What would you do if someone said, Hey, Jacks, would you mind calling my friend and telling them this? That's a little much. Calling your friend. Yeah. I'm in the airport. This guy goes, he jacks. Would you mind calling my friend Billy and telling him that you, whatever, that happy birthday form? Can you get on the phone and say, happy birthday?

Like, I'm in the airport. I'm going to my gate. He stopped me and said, he said, hey, can I have a picture which I always do. I love all the fans. But they took it a step further and said, hey, would you call my friend and say, X, Y, and Z? Well, I mean, you're in an interesting situation because if you don't and your celebrity, you're like an asshole for not doing that, right?

Right. But I mean, I got to get on your phone. I got to wait for the phone call. He's picking up. He's probably not aware that I'm calling him. So the first 10 seconds, he's like, is this really I'm talking to Jack? Right? Got that. I'm trying to get to my gate. Yeah. Like I'm trying to be nice at the same time. I'm like, I got to go. But like the thought of like, Hey, can you take my phone and talk to somebody? Like, here's another thing that I'm worried about,

now with this AI crap. What if they're just trying to get my voice? Oh, yeah, dude, you got to be really careful about that. Right? Just, yeah, what, just picturing like the strangest thing that your voice would be used for to advertise or do something like that. Like, I don't know, man, it's all kind of crazy out there. I don't wanna touch anybody else's phone, more, right? That's another thing. People say it to me, do you mind taking a picture?

I have a problem with touching other people's phones. I kind of pull the piano rave situation where he always keeps, every time he does something, he keeps his hand behind his back. Because he's so afraid of somebody yelling at him or doing something he respects his wife or whatever. But yeah, I just found that to be really, really weird. And I'm so skeptical with all this technology, this AI,

and now people who are doing it, are people who are calling me, and they're not saying anything. They're making me say hello, hello, because they're trying to record my voice. Yeah. So now I get a lot of random calls. Now I don't answer anymore, but they're saying hello, hello, who's there?

Who's there? They want that and they're recording it. Yeah, I get calls like that sometimes. If it's from a spam number, I answer and hang up immediately just because they're trying to track you.

There was an episode you and Brittany did independently without me. And I sent you guys a question.

You kind of answered it. And your answer was like, huh, Steve, what do you mean by that question? So there's a thing, your famous guy, you, you live a fundamentally different life than the average Joe, like me, your Garrett or Gabby or Stacey and anybody sitting over here like that. And you go places, you get recognized, people come up to you and they say, get on my phone and touch my stuff. I can imagine that can get kind of taxing and exhausting after a while. Though, I mean, you have people that love you and you're adored for being, you know, this person, but my question was, is it ever a relief when people don't recognize you?

And your response was like, what do you mean Steve? Like, but, I mean, you just, you ever just wanna go to like a crispy cream and just get a donut in peace? You know, I go through, I go through my phases. It's the part that annoys me is when I'm not ready. I usually don't care. 95% of the time, I'm always like, I'm just grateful because I'm grateful to work and I'm grateful people like to see me on TV.

They watch me and I want to take a picture and I was like, you're so nice. I'm always grateful for that. It's the time where I'm like, I don't want you to see me if I'm having a bad morning. And like, for instance, if I'm going to the gas station or if I'm going to the grocery store, maybe Brittany and I are arguing or something and I got to get out of the house when they catch me in those one times and they do. They catch me when I'm not ready. If I'm not looking my best, if I'm going out to the driveway and doing the garbage and they're like, just, we get a picture. Then that's the time I get pissed. I just get pissed.

But again, these are like problems that anybody would love to have. So no, to answer your question, I don't mind. But like I said, the only time that it does bother me. And when they do find me, they just, they find me when I'm not at my best, like grocery store, gas station. And obviously now, you know, Brittany are more in the line length than we have been lately. So people are starting to, you know, pay attention to us a little bit more. So yeah, that's kind of my question. I don't bother me too much. As long as they don't get too invasive, they start asking tons of questions. So they come in and say, hey, Jack, do you want to have a picture?

No problem at all. But it sucks because technology is kind of ruining everything for everybody. Yes, it's awesome for the world, but now you're making people that are in my shoes, you're getting us a little bit nervous now that, got it, for a bit I say something, or I do something, are you gonna use this for something else? Well, that's an interesting question right there because actors and celebrities selling their likeness

is a whole thing. So, what's the price tag for you, Jack's Taylor, on your likeness being used for movies or video games or anything like that. I wouldn't even know where to begin. I honestly, what? I'd 25 bucks.

I honestly don't know. That would be something that I'm probably going to have to talk to to my manager or lawyer at some point as what is my rate for my likeness? Because that's where we're at now. And Steve's got a great question. What would be the right for you for your likeness? Because now we have AI, we have people stealing your voice and things like that.

And to use your voice or your likeness, as Steve said, what would be your rate? What would you charge? I'm like 25 bucks, 50 bucks. Is this like, Daniel? No. I just, I humble myself. It would have to be thousands

because they can make you do anything. What was it on Black Mirror where they did this? They did an episode on it and it was insane. Yeah, it had like Selma Hayek, I think. Like it was like her character had to like poop in a church or something. And she was like all, it was like, it was a crazy episode. But she was like, I can't believe that because she signed away her rights. And they could do anything with her body after that.

Wow. And she's like, my grandmother would just roll over to her grave if I actually did something like that. Yeah, that would be- So it would have to be a lot of money. I guess you're right, it would have to be a lot of money. That's why we have lawyers. That's why we have Joe and Ryan.

They would never let- But the scheme was asked to be $25, my God. I know, I'm just playing. They'll have you just chatin' me with every girl at the bar. It's like I don't even just cause drama. He may have some good question about you know what what does it bother you when when people you know come was basically what does bother you when people come up to you and ask for pictures and things

like that. Do you ever do you ever do you ever is there ever a time no in the what I've been on TV now for 10 11 years? Is there ever been a moment where, gosh, it's just not today. And I was telling the only time, the only time that I get bothered by that is like, it's not their fault. It's when I'm not ready. If I like, go to the grocery store and I'm not even thinking that I forget sometimes that I'm on television, it's always those times that they get me putting out the garbage. I don't, I don't ever mind taking photos with people.

The only time I think it could be kind of rude, I will say, is if we're right in the middle of dinner. Yes, yes. That would be literally the only time, but I'm always so grateful to talk to people and meet people. And it's part of like, it's one of my favorite parts about being on this lifestyle. No, no, I 100% agree.

I mean, this is the life we chose. And like I said, the only reason we exist today is because of these people. So it's not like my etiquette for asking anyone for a photo would just don't do it when they're eating. Yeah, well, Jecks, I was through the phone get on my phone question. Oh, so I had an issue. I was at the airport in Nashville and someone said, it's, you know, people always ask, hey, can I be a picture? And I was like, yeah, this person said, would you mind calling my friend? He's right here. I'm like running my gig. Would you mind calling my friend and saying X, Y and Z?

And I was kind of like, and here's the, where you light, but I wasn't late, but I was on my way to the gate. I wanted to get something to eat. Um, the point we've done that so many times. I know, but now we live in a world with AI. So now people are copying your voice and using it for other things. So you have to be careful. I know you're very naive. I know you believe a lot of things, but you have to. You have to understand, and people are doing it now with calling when they're calling you. Everyone is just made to be nice.

Deep down. I wish that were true, but that's not. You got to see positive in people or this world sucks. I just, I get nervous for that, to say, hey, can you get on my, is I know what would happen? Well, as the person that you're calling doesn't know you're calling. So the first, like I said, I get nervous for that, you know, to say, hey, can you get on my front? Like, is that I know what would happen? Is the person that you're calling doesn't know you're calling. So the first, like I said, first 10 seconds, they have no idea. It's not anyone says, I think they have enough video evidence on TV and on social media.

They can do it anyway. I know, but I just, I just feel like everyone's out to get people. Everyone's out to get you and everyone's out to kind of harm you. And I just, like, the technology and scam is kind of ruined it for the people that are nice celebrities that want to do pictures. But now you're ruining it for people like us that we don't want to get near that because we're afraid of what other people are doing is what I'm trying to say. Can I ask one more offer one more thing? Yeah. All right. Jack's you're doing a lot of traveling lately. Got to be in locations everywhere

for all these house of villains. Marin on e everybody make sure to go watch it and would it be easy? If you had a couple clones just sitting around. That would be my worst nightmare save. I love Jackson but I've already got like two toddlers so I can't handle clones. I let her speak for that. I think one Jack's Taylor is enough. Oh gosh What is enough? She's being very polite what she says. Oh gosh Probably some explicit lyrics. She would rather say Listen, I love you honey, but you can be a lot. We all know that That's why you're with me because I've got a lot of patients, right? Yeah, I mean we all know this.

Yeah, yeah. Hey, what do you think are happening to all the rom coms out there? Do you see all the new movies coming out? Again, we're going with Marvel. Everything is Marvel. Why don't we have a camera Diaz rom com so bad? Just a camera Diaz and Matthew McConaughey, like all my favorite rom coms. Oh, yeah.

What's the last time we had a good comedy, like besides the hangover or what's the other one with Jonah Hill that we like to hangover with Jonah Hill? What was the, what was it? What was the, the comedies? It was not the hangover with Jonah Hill, the funny one with Superbad. Superbad. Oh, yeah. Superbad.

Bridesmaids, stepbrothers, like those were the last comedies. When's the lesson we had a comedy that everybody wasn't afraid of offending people. Meaning there wasn't a comedy where you're like, okay, they're going to have- No hard feelings with Jennifer Lawrence is another one we're getting from over here. We watched it. No, sorry Jennifer, I love you Jennifer Lawrence and I know you're not a comedy person that I want to watch you. I don't want to watch-

I don't want to watch her in a comedy. I want to watch you. I don't want to watch. I don't want to watch her in a comedy. I want to watch Will Ferrell. I want to watch, I want to watch Cameron Diaz. I want to watch, you know, 16. What's, what is that movie? My sweetest thing. I love those movies. Oh, the sweetest thing is one of my favorite movies.

I'm happy with those movies. And like, why is comedy dying? I mean, you want my take on that? Yeah, Marvel. I'm going to you, Marvel. Yeah, because you want the industry wants IP, they want things that you know are gonna make money for billions of dollars. Yeah, I know, they don't want to take chances on random comedies that could just totally

fly. Yeah, but there's people out there that let me, that like, we love to see a movie like that, that don't need the Billion dollar budget you can make a movie Half the budget and still for the people like us I feel like I feel like they're forgetting about our generation They're forgetting about that. We're still alive that we still like those kind of thing. Hey, you're 10 years older than me I understand but like do you you agree with you Steve?

I'm with you man, but yeah, I think the industry is changing. It's changing. So now, like, yeah, so don't get mad at me, break when he when I watch old movies, you're like, this is too old. This is why I do it because, you know, put on Southern from the 80s. I'm like, oh, this, I mean, get a little feral back out there. Get the people from Southern Adam Sandler. When's the last time Sandler's done a funny, funny movie? He just had that one with his kids.

I know it was great. And you liked it. Yeah. I like it when he involves all the people from SNL. I like when he gets all his buddies involved. When he gets Rob Schneider involved. When he gets Dana Carey involved. Why don't you go tell him this, Jack? I'm just saying for all the people out there that miss the romcoms like me, let's speak up a little bit.

Let's, you know, DM Cameron Diaz and be like, Cameron, please come back. We need a romcom. She's definitely going to listen to us. Yeah, I don't know. Anyway. I love it. Anyway.

So, are we ready for Christmas? We're getting closer. I'm so ready. I cannot wait. Actually, I need to finish Christmas Robert tonight. Yeah. I've got some things done, but I need to finish. I got a couple more days, and I'm heading to Mexico for a couple days.

Everybody's already there. Tom and I are going on Friday because we got stuff to go on on. But we are on our way. Alex, happy 40th buddy. I can't wait three days. Pretty, listen, pretty, for those of you, for those of you I'm going to ask me next week, is Brittany mine when you go on these trips? No. She's like, let me book a trip for you. Yeah, I booked your flight this morning.

No, no, I got to figure out. What do people do without their wives? I don't know what I would do without mine. I literally have to bigger to do everything. I'm like so not self-sufficient. I wish I was. I really wish I was. But I gotta say, I'm getting super excited to go to Kentucky.

Everyone has to get excited to go to Kentucky, yes. We can't wait. Especially this time of the year. Because it But I gotta say, I'm getting super excited to go to Kentucky. Everyone has to get excited to go to Kentucky, yes. We can't wait. Especially this time of the year. Because like I said, I'm old-fashioned. I love my nostalgia. And I just feel like I want to go. We do the same thing every year, so it's tradition. When I go to Kentucky, it's cold.

I like the, and I was like, do you like the cold? Yes. For Christmas, I want snow, and I want cold, and I want winter coats, and I want to be with the family. We go, we do exactly, like, the reason I love my in-laws so much and my wife's family is because we do exactly like I do when I grow up. We go to the grandma's house, we go to aunt's house, and we're constantly just getting fat,

we're getting eaten. Like I mean, I love, we're just getting sassy. Get fat sassy. Get fat sassy, we're eating, we're opening gifts, everybody's together, we're all in the farm. I feel like we're just so secluded from the whole world. And it's like one of those hallmark Christmas specials. It really is a hallmark Christmas special. My farm is BU to form one of the prettiest places

in the world. It is. And it's like, it's a time for Brittany and I to go there and get out of LA a little bit and kind of like decompress and be like, this is what it's all about. And be with all my best friends, who have been my best friends my entire life. Like I miss them so much.

So it's always amazing that we get to spend so much time together when I go home. Cruise has the best time with all Britney's friends kids and they all watch over Cruise and he just has so much fun and we hang out with her friends and we got a cool Arab baby this year we're super excited about. We got dinner at Jeff Rubies which I'm super excited about. Yeah, maybe I wonder if Kentucky's playing maybe we should go to a game. Yeah, that would be awesome. I'm going to look that up.
