Be cool. Hello, everybody, and welcome back to In reality hits with Jackson, Brittany. Good morning, everybody. How you doing? So as everybody knows, the new trailer for VaynerPump rules dropped and you had a special cameo in it. Of course I did.

Of course I did. You think they're not going to put me in the trailer? Oh my God. You're so big headed. I love it. Well, let's be honest, that's everything wants to see it. Okay, so Jack's hasn't watched the trailer yet, so we're gonna watch it in studio

so we can get Jack's actual reaction because there's some things on there that I did not even know happened. Yeah. And you're gonna see. Okay, let's see this. Oh! Oh!

Oh! You see this? You're by girls, come here, you're in the wrong room. Okay. That's funny. That was a really, really good promo. That was a good promo. It was good. What is crazy is I had no idea that Shina made out with. What was this? What was this?

He said in Vegas, but I have no idea when that would be. I haven't talked to Shina about it yet. I'm going to see her in a couple of days because we're going to the Grinch at the Pandeges Theater. So I'm going gonna be asking her about this. Was this during her marriage? I don't know. I'm just as confused as everybody else watching this. I'm gonna have to, I'll find out.

Yeah, we'll definitely get the tea, but. I'm gonna Mexico with Tom here in a couple of days and I'll find out the dirt. Yeah, but what did you think? Of course, your one cameo is Lisa calling you a hypocrite. How did you feel about that? Well, because I don't know why she's calling me hypocrite. I can't really remember that, but I was just really like taking back that she wrote me off like that.

I know you can't say too much yet because obviously, I know you saw, I know, sorry, I know you saw one cameo. I filmed a lot on that show. That's just the one spot. Yeah. No, I know. But of course, it was like Lisa calling you a hypocrite. I was like, my end. Because it's a teaser. They want to make things look like they really are. OK, can you at least say, did you guys end better? Yeah, we got to great.

OK, good. Teasers, they do things for a reason. They put certain words and teasers so people watch it. I mean, it looked really good. Right. It looked really good. And it's like, funny how they're almost making it look like Tom and she have something going on.

I'm like, what's happening here? Yeah. It looks pretty good. Was that January 30th that comes out now? January, yeah. January 30th. You know, I think, in fact, I know we are. We are having a premiere party at Jackson's on January 30th.

Okay. My partner's just reached out to me and said, we're going to have a little premiere thing. So I know Tom wanted to be something. Jack can't help but plug the bar. Yeah, well, it's our new bar. I have to plug it. No, I know Tom wanted to be something. Jack can't help but plug the bar. Yeah, well, starting the bar. I have to know. No, I know. It's been going so good. A lot of business.

But yeah, that was definitely a crazy. But I think that the show's going to be good. Can I make some of them here? Just a little side track. Yeah, it was a great, great premiere. And I kind of just, I've been traveling a lot lately. I just got back from Nashville and kind of to say the airports are incredibly crazy these days. Like people are just angry.

I feel like it's almost like the, it's become the DMV. The DMV has become the airport. You're just the angry person at the airport. I think everybody else is fine. I think it's you. No, actually, I'm actually really nice, and I'm overly, because I know, I know. Honey, I travel with you.

Listen, I know. I don't forget. I know people are watching me. I'm not trying to be vain or whatever in this, but I know that know I travel with you. I know I know I know people are watching me. I'm not trying to be vain or whatever in this, but I know that I'm in the airport that I am a recognizable figure. So I know I'm very aware that I'm not gonna be aggressive in front of people because people will take a picture

and say something. So I keep to myself, but I'm just saying like the etiquette and like the way people are like when you go up to the front desk and you talk to them, it's like they feel so angry that you're there. And I feel like I'm walking on eggshells talking to these people Do you think that you put out that energy? No, no because even when I like to go up to the people and I'm like you can Just show your ID and then I'm not even talking about that. I'm talking about the TSA people the people scream in At each other and I'm like in line watching other people go through this.

And I just want to know, I just, I just also employees, how do they, they to employees that work at the airport, do they have to go through checkpoints? Like when they get in, do they have to go every single day of their job, they have to walk through a checkpoint. You would be miserable doing that. Oh my gosh. I don't worry. Like I know Brittany, your time management is awful.

Could you imagine running late for work? You have to go through security checkpoint to get to your job at McDonald's. No, that would be awful. But you have to, you would have to go through security checks. It's airport. I know, but even as an employee every single day. It's part of your job. You don't get like a TSA kind of thing where you're just, hey, that's a, that's Joe from

McDonald's in turbo five. He's good. I've seen people have like little badges and stuff. Okay, so that was me. I feel like every since you, I feel like every since you got kicked off of jet blue, you had a thing against airports because we literally brought it up in the past like three episodes. I just think and I'm not only that I've kind of read like hot airports have gotten really hostile lately. They've gotten hostile and it's not even that, I've kind of read like hot, airports have gotten really hostile lately. They've gotten hostile, and it's not even me all the time. And like, okay, I'll take-

Not even me all the time. I will take some, like, I understand. Sometimes I'm a little grumpy because I'm showing up hungover, and I get that. But like, I'm overly nice because I'm a very, no, you wanna know why I'm overlai- I'm very aware that people are watching me. I am very aware.

I see people- Where is this overly nice at? No, I am, because I'm scared that people's gonna be like, oh my God, Jack's here, that was me and this and this and that, like I get that all the time. And it's just, it sucks. Hey, let me ask you this. So I was at the airport and I'm looking at all these stores,

like Brookstone and McDonald's and all this. Like what makes a person say, I wanna work at the McDonald's in the airports. I suppose to, do you know what I'm saying? Cause McDonald's are all over the place, right? They're all over the street from in the airports. I suppose, do you know what I'm saying? Because their McDonald's are all over the place, right? They're all over the street from everybody's house. What makes you say, like, you know what? I'm gonna work the one in Terminal Five.

That one looks really cool. Maybe it's closer to their house. It can't be. There's McDonald's on every block. I'm just curious why people want to stress out so much and deal with crazy, crazy people at airports. Because people need jobs. I guess.

I guess, do you think people get promoted to the airport location or do you think they get demoted? So for instance, do you think it like a guy down the street is working at the McDonald's and saying, listen, if you mess up one more time, we're sending you to Terminal 5 at the airport. Do you think that happens? I mean, maybe.

I could be a punishment to have to go through with security all the time. Man, oh man. Here's another question to have. I'm gonna bring it up. Okay, so when you're in the middle seat of the airplane. Oh no. Who gets the armrests? That is such a good question. Who gets them? I mean, I would hope the person in the middle because you're stuck. Okay, but why, like, do we, is there, should we talk about it ahead of time? Say, hey, guys,

do you get this armrests and I get this this. That is one thing that is like such bad plane etiquette. I guess you would say is whenever people or just have their hands everywhere, or I've seen somebody like put their hair over the back of the seat and like the person but I don't think even see their TV. Oh, that's so, not only is it just so. Like put their feet up on there, like bare feet.

Here we go. This is another one. This is another bullet point. People who take their shoes off on the plane. You do that. I have socks on. Okay, but you still do that. I do it when I'm sitting first class. I don't do it when I'm sitting first.

Oh, okay. It's okay. Yes, because you're, or take your shoes off. Because you're in a cubby. You're in a cubby and you're, nobody can see you. You know what I'm saying?

Please never have socks on. I always have socks on. But listen, there's a difference between when we sit jet blue mint in our little cubby hole where nobody can see you as opposed to sitting 26D in the back and where you're sitting out and you're nasty toes and you're nasty socks are hanging out. And it's like, oh, it's just gross. And then here's my last point. People who eat stinky food on the plane.

I had a guy. I had a guy. I can be up about the plane. I had a guy sitting next to me eating frickin' guardados. What's that? Does nasty garlic oil, onion, rice check mix? Oh, those are good. I don't want to smell it.

I don't. But those are sold at the plane at the airport. I know, but it's so terrible. So all the things to buy, you're going to at the plane at the airport. I know, but it's so terrible. All the things to buy, you're going to buy the stinky garlic garretteos. Why don't you just buy pretzels and be like a normal human being? Pretzels are the lamest snack ever.

My son and I love pretzels. I know, I don't know why y'all love them so much. They have to have some beard chaser something on it for me to make it into that. So are we not going to answer the etiquette question on the armrests? Are we just going to let that go? Oh, I mean, I just feel like if you're in the middle, you don't have anywhere to go. I know. I know. And other people can lean on the outside or lean on the window. So are you supposed to sit like this? No, I think the middle person

in the middle deserves the arm. So what is this arm supposed to do for me on the window? Am I supposed to just be like that? Yeah. I'm just asking. I'm just asking. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Oh, by the way, now they're starting.

If you sit coach, because I've been sitting coach the last couple flights lately, you have to pay for sodas now. That one's starting airlines. Yeah. Yeah. You have to pay for sodas. You have to pay for bags. Yes, you may be getting a cheap flight folks, but by the time you get there, not only that,

I got charged for my boarding pass, $25. He's like, sir, if you can't pull it up in your phone, we have to charge you for a hard copy, $25. I go, listen, my wife runs my phone. I'm here, obviously, by myself. I don't even know how to check my Instagram by myself, let alone pull up a document. How are you gonna do all this traveling to Mexico without me?

I mean, it's pretty self-explanatory. I think I have it on my phone already. But I'm just saying, what do you do all this traveling to Mexico without me? I mean, it's pretty self-explanatory. I think I have it on my phone already. But I'm just saying, what do you do with the people that are like, for instance, my parents age, my dad's age, my dad, before he passed away, did not use, no, how do you use a telephone. So what does he do when he's at the checkout? You're just going to charge the guy because he's not, doesn't know the internet. That's kind of crazy to me. I'm sorry.

This is just crazy, crazy things. Support for today's episode comes from Jenny Kane. Oh my gosh, I got this Casimir sweater from Jenny Kane. That is so comfortable. I saw it. It's absolutely beautiful. And one thing I love about that Casimir sweater is that you compare it with absolutely anything.

Yes. Uh, Tesla's. Yep. Yep. Drive really. Maybe I need one of those because I hate driving. Yeah. Yeah. You do. Do they actually work? I mean, our neighbors have them and you know, our old producer had one and he used to tell me about it because he lived in Orange County.

And what he would do, he was drive from LA when we were done filming, he would sit in, you have to touch the steering wheel every five minutes when these happens. He was drive from LA when we were done filming. He would sit in, you have to touch the steering wheel every five minutes when these happens. He says, man, no, however, I guess how it works. You got to touch the steering wheel. He said, but it's great because I can be on my laptop. I can work on the way home from Orange County. So I don't know. I just think it's still kind of weird. These driverless cars and whatever. But I got a lot of questions. People ask about the Chris's party. It was a success. Brittany, what do you think about the Chris's party? We had a great the Christmas party. It was a success. Brittany, what do you think about the Christmas party? We had a great time at Jackson.

It was so fun. I loved my ugly sweater because it was saying in a song. My mom is so funny because she's so like, I love her to pieces, but she's so clueless about certain things. And she like texted me. She was like, I put your picture on my story. And I said, did you realize what was on my sweater? And she was like, no, you just look so pretty.

I said, mom, it was Santa in a song, like doing a mirror selfie. She just cracked up. She had, she didn't realize. I didn't even see her. And she did put like a little Santa baby like song on it. She's like, she's all into just because she knows how to put songs on her stories now.

She's like, she knows how to do more than I do. I know. You don't even know how to put a song on a story. My two and a half year old son I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, this main or this real-on Instagram and it was cracking me up. I'll rewatch it so many times. It was this guy saying he was teaching a classical dance class in 70 years and he was doing like the Dougie and stuff. It was hilarious because that's what we are right now. Like in 70 years, that's gonna be our classical dance. You know, I was also seeing on the internet.

People are like training thing is now, I was like we're having two thousands day, like 90s day. People are dressing up like you did in the 1998. I'm like, this is what I used to wear. I love the 90s. But now we've hit the point where people, kids are dressing up as us when we were in high school. That's how old we're getting.

Ooh, for my birthday we should do 90s theme. And only the only music can be like 90s hip-hop and R&B. I just think this is crazy. Do you know that Lincoln Park is considered classical rock now? Whatever. Yeah, yeah, I read that. Lincoln Park. By the way, did you like the Christmas party?

Did it was a success? Did you have a good time? Yes, it was so packed. So for those of you that weren't there, I did do an Instagram live and I hope so many you saw that. But you did at the Christmas party? Yeah, I know.

It was amazing. We were packed. I saw a lot of tequila shots. Yeah, it was a lot of fun. We did karaoke. Santa Valky still the microphone for most of it. He like hogged the karaoke. Like all night long. He did. And I was like, oh my god, I was blown up my phone last night. He was blowing my phone up last night. I went to bed early. Brittany went out with her with her friend last night. Cruze and I decided just to have a little boys night. But we both went to bed early.

And I'm looking at my phone this morning. I got three or four missed calls from Santa Claus. Are you going to karaoke tonight? Are you going? No, not tonight, buddy, but go ahead and go, and I'll make sure it's all set up for you. But yeah, he's been- You guys are like really been-

He's been less- Been hanging out lately. You know what? I don't want to get into that right now. Just, it is, listen, it's been a year. Like, you have to forgive and forget at some point. Like life is too short. As long as he's making changes, I mean.

You know what, it's his business. I think she's moved on. She's done very well for herself. She's got a new boyfriend. Isn't there a time where we really can be like, okay, wait, okay, this is maybe- You guys have been friends for so long, so I feel like there's more-

Okay, let's talk about- Like leniency to that. I was hoping to skate over this topic, but let's talk about. Well, I got asked by so many people in questions and stuff. All right, listen, he's been my friend for 20 freaking years. Okay, him and Schwartz are my best friends. Yes, Santa Vos screwed up. He made a mistake. We're all human.

And I gave him crap for it for the last year. Yeah. Okay, it's been a year. When can we kind of move on from this? I mean, I've got, like I said, as long as he's making changes, and trying to be a better person, that's what matters at the end of the day.

And I think he is. He's just gonna have to prove himself. Right, he's gonna prove himself, but I'm not gonna go around and be like, oh, shame, shame, shame. I mean, yes, what he did was wrong, but it's not wrong enough to where we have to, you know, cut him off forever.

He is making some changes. He's not drinking these. Actually, it's nice to actually talk to him where he's not talking about himself for once. He's actually asking how I'm doing. And he's just saying, Jack, he just seems like a little bit different person. I don't know if he's gonna go back to his old ways, but as of right now,

he seems like a different person. And who am I not to give somebody another chance? You know, I don't know. I mean, it's to eat your own. Okay, let me, this person wrote me on Instagram and they wrote me a story, okay? And I want you to set your opinion. Okay, this is from Allison, Under Score, Castillo, I think. Is that how you say it?

Sorry, I'm not very good with pronouncing people's last names. Okay, recently engaged, my fiancee and I dated seven years and I'm finishing up school right now. Our parents are paying for the wedding, but there are some issues such as my future mother and law wants to invite my fiancee's ex and her family to the wedding. And there are multiple people that they want to invite that we don't know and never have met. She told my fiancee and I- That sounds like me.

She told my fiancee and I since we weren't paying, we don't get to say. And I said, fine, then we will alope and that didn't go well either. Any advice on this situation and how to get through it and wedding planning. Okay, are they asking me or are they asking both of us? Both of us. But like that. I'll take your take first. The whole the ex girlfriend should not be there. No. Because that's just weird. Obviously, if his family is wanting her to be there,

it's because they're still close to his family. And that's weird. Okay, timeout, there's got to be a little bit of a hyphen because I did have ex-girlfriends at my bar. Your ex-girlfriend was in my wedding, but that's what. Because you guys were friends. Yeah, we were friends. This girl's obviously not friends with the ex.

Correct, correct. That's weird. Yeah. Yeah. No. She's using the, I'm paying for the wedding over her head. Yes. Okay. That alone would make me not want to do that. What's this girl's name again? Alison. Alison, just let you know, I went to the same thing with not knowing half my guests either. That's just because I have a humongous family. I know, but I, there's a lot of them living Texas or, you know, all over the place. So that's just because I have a humongous family I know but I it there's a lot of them live in Texas or you know all over the place so that's why there was people like that but they still matter because they're family right I but if to answer my question I didn't know half my wedding yes there was a lot of people I was meeting for the first time at my dance like there was a lot of

people going I was going to the tables meeting for the first time now did I mind no but my wife and I were on the same page with this we weren't having a confrontation it seems like you are having a little issue with it, and I don't blame you. I don't blame you. We're going to come to the ex. Yeah, no. Well, I don't like the holding money over their head because like, yeah, they might be paying for it, but this is supposed to be the bride and grooms like biggest day of their lives. It's not the parents day. It's the bride and grooms day. Correct. So if she's not feeling like that, I just like, I'm sorry.

They need to have a sit down talk and you need to tell them how you're feeling before it's too late. That's what I think. If I can chime in here, it's the groom's mom that's going to pay. Yes. Okay, what is the groom have to say? Why isn't he stepping in? Well, honey, this is a girl who wrote me on Instagram.

Oh, okay. I don't know all the stories. Alicin, I'm so sorry. I like to know a little bit more detail, but as of right now, I think you should, I'm digging your aloping situation like, okay, fine, you're not going to hold it on my hand because she's not going to just do this now. This could be the rest of your life. Oh, done, done, done.

You know, yeah, but at the end of the day, this is supposed to be for you and your husband to be. It's supposed to be the biggest day for you. So I would go ahead and have a sit down, talk about it now before the wedding planning is so far ahead, especially, I don't know. I just don't like that somebody would hold that over their head. Yeah, I'm not a fan of that either. But you also like weddings are so different nowadays. You're buying dinner for like 100 people.

You know what I'm saying? 100, I'm sorry, between 100 and I'm sorry, between 75 and 300 people, you're buying dinner for. And it's, you're basically throwing a party for everybody else. That's kind of what weddings are what I loved every second of planning and everything. So I hated that you're having a like not great experience because this is supposed to be like the happiest day of your life. Don't let somebody else ruin that moment for you. Allison, if you guys want to open him, you're wedding at Jackson. Jackson will get ordained. I will I will

supply the beer cheese. We will make it a lot of fun. I got TVs. I got lounge. Get the best of both worlds. Yes, We will make it a lot of fun. I got TVs. I got a lounge Get the best of both worlds.

He brought my personal gym and how sure I get everybody's names. Yeah, it's people. I bought my personal gym and how do I like using a personal trainer versus going to the gym. Right now, believe it or not, my gym, my personal gym just went out of business.

I guess somebody came in with a real estate and kind of re-bought it all. So now I am back at Planet Fitness, which I love, and I still work out at my house. So kind of, I'm changing it up a little bit, which I don't mind. Personal trainers are great. They kind of keep you like, they keep a little bit, which I don't mind. Personal trainers are great. They kind of keep you, like, they keep you, you know,

working out, you're not on your phones. That's why I like it, you're in and out. I like to be on a routine. But then again, I like to change things up too. I like to go to the gym. I'm back at the gym again, which is kind of nice. I haven't been in a long time. And it's kind of fun working out.

I like working out at our house. By the way, I'm starting to work out hardcore again. I'm really proud of myself for getting back in it. We've been so busy that I haven't really been taking care of myself. And I feel like, I'm just going to tell this to everybody, like running and getting in the gym and getting out and moving is so good for your mental health.

Like I've been kind of in a funk lately. And just working out and trying to do all this stuff and going out with my friends more and all that stuff. It really is good for your mental health. I already feel so much better just getting back in the gym. I'm absolutely proud of you. You've been doing really well. I've been watching her.

She's been killing her at the gym. She's doing really well. She's going out a little bit more. I'm one of those husbands that loves it when my wife goes out. Well, I've been too much of a homebody. Other than work and stuff, I feel like I've been too much of a homebody. Other than like working stuff, I feel like I've been too much of a homebody. So that's gonna be like my New Year's resolution,

like not flaking and like showing up to everything. I'm all, I'm all for that as long as you go to Jackson once in a while. I'll go there. I feel like I'm always there. You are. And every time we're like, let's go back to Jackson's, I'm like, okay, whatever.

I'm sorry guys, I didn't, wasn't there for those of you who went to karaoke last night. I apologize. I will make sure that I attend all my other events. But anyway, yeah, so far as the gym goes, I'm back at the, I'm back at plan finish for a while. Yeah, but I like to work out at our, at the gym because nobody can look at me. I could do whatever I want.

I don't have to worry about people looking at me. I do not, I'm not one of those people that will go to Equinox all dressed up or something that is a not me. I want to be an oversized clothes, be able to make whatever weird face, I want to listen to whatever I want. I've been watching the Great British Making Show

while I'm working out. So it's like, it levels itself out. I agree. I don't want to eat all the food. I'm with you. Hey, do you think, do you think this should censor, start censoring social media? Do you think social media Instagram should be censored? You can, you can censor.

You can put words and things that you don't want on your page. Yes, that I do. But I'm talking about, if you've been watching things, there's showing some things that this shouldn't be shown on TV. Like kids fighting, for instance, there's been stuff like that. Well, they'll get taken down if they, if people realize it, like people, whenever people post things, they have to do warnings and stuff now.

Right. Or else it'll get taken down and they can get shut off. They are, I thought they do do a good job at like trying to keep it pretty. Yeah, but they're going after guys like me that wrote like, Oh, yeah, you can't tag. You can't tag jacks without it saying, what is it saying when you try to tag you?

You don't want, let me, first of all, I'm gonna tell you guys this, do not, if you're it saying, what does it say when you try to tag you? Hold on, let me. First of all, I'm gonna tell you guys this. Do not, if you're on Instagram, for instance, say, say, I, Chocolate Ice Cream is the best. You can't write 100% hashtag facts because that is considered false information. It may be true to me.

Listen, whatever I try to tag Jacks, it says this account has repeatedly posted false information that was reviewed by independent fact checkers or went against our community guidelines. Do you want to mention this account? Cancel or mention anyway. Bench it anyway, you want to know why? Why is it still like that?

Can I tell you why? And I got to get Lori on this because she's not helping me out with this. For instance, if somebody, I had a habit back in the, I'm saying 100% hashtag 100% facts. I used to write that all the time on everything. Do not write that. Hashtag facts, everybody does that though. I know, but someone says, ooh, chocolate ice cream is the best.

Yeah, but listen, when it first happened, it said that you were talking about Alec Baldwin. Yeah, she said I was talking about Alec Baldwin. The most brilliant thing ever. And I've never in my life talked about Alec Baldwin. No, I don't think you've ever posted anything about Alec Baldwin. No, I haven't.

And that that's what it used to say is that you spread rumors about Alex Baldwin. Like how weird and random is that? And I'm a big fan of Alex Baldwin. Alex would never talk about him. So if I would just be careful what you hashtag because people take it literally sometimes. So anyway, be careful of that as far as getting back to you. Not Jack's trying to give people social media advice. I know, right. I do think they should social, I do think they should police Instagram a little bit more. I think the bullying needs to stop.

Oh gosh. I got some friends right now dealing with their daughters right now. I'm so worried about crews. Like, it's our social media already runs everything. Can you imagine when crews grows up, what he's going to have to deal with? Like, you can't go home and get away from anything. It's just constant. It is very constant.

Do you guys think they should take away the likes and comments from Instagram posts? Oh, I think if they took away the comments. Yeah, that would help a lot. If the comments, I think we're taking away. I would, but you know who would have a problem with that? Is endorsements, people endorsing products. I think client, yeah, endorsement. I think the only people who have a problem with that is the people thatments, people endorsing products, I think client, yeah, endorse,

I think the only people who have a problem with that is the people that if you're endorsing products and fabric, and influencer ads, I think they would have an issue with that. But I am all for that. Take away the comments, take away the likes. I think you would get rid of so much. Well, remember whenever they did take away

the likes for a while, and it was like a whole thing, and everybody was like, why didn't they take away the comments? The likes are still fine. You're getting people are liking it. You know, it's the comments that can get hurtful. Yeah, I agree. I agree.

But it's yeah, but I do like that on Instagram. You can put like words that you don't want to be put on your thing. And then whenever people comment under your photo, they still can't tell or they think that they've come. They, they think that they've posted it, but in reality, it doesn't go anywhere. Nobody else can see it. So I do like those features. So Chrissy, 364L, do you and Brittany gamble

when you go to Vegas? Brittany does. I play like Willa Fortune, slots, and I like to play roulette sometimes. Like I'll play like Cruises birthday and my birthday, Jackson's birthday. I gotta take, when we first started dating, we were going to Vegas a lot,

Bernie was crushing it. But the last few times, yeah. Oh no, I've been in the negative. But I'm not like a huge gambler by any means. No, I hate gambling. I can, I don't understand how people love to gamble, especially sports betting. I have all, I'm the only one.

Because some people are good at it and actually win. There's nobody that's good at it. The only time you ever hear people excited is when they win. You never hear when they lose and they lose a lot more. All my friends, I have a group chat, my guys group chat, every one of them bets. They do these parlays.

I couldn't think of nothing more stressful than, especially these parlays, where like six teams need a win by one point. And all I see is my friends stressing out all the time. What, I can see, nothing is fun about that. There's nothing fun about trying to bet making sure all four teams win by so many points. Like, there's nothing fun about that. It's not fun. I'll be asking this because I don't think that you give like two shits about this, but I just want to know

what your reaction is to everyone posting everything all the time about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey. Oh my God. I okay. I don't mind an occasional Taylor Swift song if I'm in the mood. If I've had a couple cups of coffee, I'm on the go and the car, I got crews in the back, I'll jam out to a Taylor Swift song. But okay, I'm not this whole thing driving, you know, the Kelsey thing. And I mean, it's been great for his career. I love all the girls saying, isn't it wonderful that Travis Kelsey's finally getting a note? He's one, two super bowls. Oh, no, he's like a really good. He's really, really good. And I mean, you know, it's just

a thing right now. It's a thing like everybody just loves a new hot new couple. I guess, I guess. I mean, she'll be writing songs about him shortly. I'm sure she writes songs about all our boyfriends. Yeah. Do you think it's I think they're cute together? Do you think they're going to end up together? Maybe. I mean, they seem to lift each other up. It's been a positive.

I think I've seen a me like her lifting him up. I think it was a meme. There was a meme of like, you know, you see a girl and a guy in a kitchen counter kissing. Well, they reversed it. And Taylor Swift lifting him up on the counter. I thought it was hilarious. That is a good one. That is a good name. When reality hits is brought to you by light box lab grown diamonds.

Hardest part about married life after having a toddler. Oh, God. Oh, geez, we could do a whole podcast on that. I'm going to be honest, we're kind of going through that right now. Yeah. Um, trying to make time for each other, trying to find that, you know, trying to keep that romance and trying to make time for date nights and stuff like that, because it's really easy to get lost in family and family.

And there's nothing wrong with that. You're enjoying your child and you want to be with your kid all the time. But we gotta make sure we do more like date nights and stuff. We really got to try. Yeah, I really, you know, and I got to say, I'm not, I'm definitely taking a majority to blame there, but it's just tough.

It's just tough because, you know, I don't want to blame it on being tired, I don't blame it on anything. You know, you make your own time. And I, we spend a lot of time together. We're always together, mind you. People understand, we're together 24, 7, 7 days a week. And if I'm not with her, I'm getting the mail or I'm going to the grocery store.

I mean, there's never a time where we're really not together. I mean, a little bit more lately, her and I have been doing some traveling, but I've been doing with house of villains. I'm doing some promoting with the show and everything. But majority of the time we're together. So it's lately, it's kind of like, okay, you go out with your friends and I'll stay back. I really enjoy staying home. So I'm loving it now that we talked about this earlier that pretty starting to go out a little bit more

and go on hand with their friends because she's been a little bit of a homebody lately. And I'm like, get your ass out there. Go have fun. You're still, you're 10 years younger than I am. I know, it's easy to get in like a funk. And I was definitely feeling a little funky, funky fod, but I'm getting my groove back and I'm feeling good.

It's easy to do that for sure. I like this question. This is from Mrs. J. True Love in C and she asked, do we do personalized Christmas cards? If so, can we share what they look like? I love this because. Well, we were going today. I'm going home and I'm doing a cruise's photos today.

So. Who's going to help you with that? Me and you. Whoa, you're evolving me. I'll just help get his attention. Cruise is not like, wait a minute. It's already December 15th. I can, I know, but I can smell them out tomorrow.

It'll be fun. But last year cruise dressed up as Elf on the shelf. And we sent those out as Christmas cards. It was really cute. My friend Courtney did the photos. This year since I did my whole gingerbread theme, I got Cruz a gingerbread out man outfit. So I'm gonna I'm gonna have him to like a little photos and then I'll send those out. It's always just Cruz. I don't really want to be on it. Yeah,

we just like do it. Cruz. Everybody everybody already knows what we look like. Yeah, I just like to push it again. Because it changes so much each year. So I want to be on it. Yeah, we just like do it. Kursn. Everybody everybody already knows what we look like. I just like to push it again. Because it changes so much each year. So I want to do a different like Christmas theme, little costume every single year. And we'll we'll have them all lined up and like see how much you changes each year. I think it's adorable. And that's another tradition that I'm going to make sure I do every year. That's actually good. I'm speaking about for the shelf. We're going to start that next year. Somebody else asked me that. We're going to start that.. I kinda wanna do Snoop on the stoop. It's Snoop Dogg.

Snoop on the stoop. Yes, they have Snoop on the stoop. I'm sorry, when I grew up, I don't know about you, if you got talking dolls, they were killing your family. Okay. I like Chuckie. Chuckie was like, if there was anything at dolls that talked or there was another movie too,

dolls that talked were evil. Now they have dolls. Annabelle. What is this, Dolls that talked? That would freak me out. I had Farbees. I love those things. My sister had cricket.

Do you remember cricket? I don't think I had cricket. We had Buddy. I had it. My buddy and me. My buddy, remember? What's it called? What's the Kimitachi or what does that thing call?

Teddy Ruckspin. I had one of those when I was little. I'm sorry, that's Creepie Toys.uck's been? Oh, I had one of those when I was little. Sorry, that's Creepy Toys. They were creepy growing up. I had a glowworm. Oh, I love the glowworm. Crown puppies. Yeah, I had all that stuff.

Yeah, I had all that. My session was Beanie Babies. I had every single one. I had all the retired ones. I mean, my parents were spending money on my babies. Do you still have them? There's somewhere in storage in Kentucky somewhere. My brother went through them all to see if I,

to see if I had any of that were like worth a lot of money. Cause I used to have them in cases. They all had tag protectors on them. I mean, I was upset. We should look for those when we get home, maybe give them to get them to cruise. Yeah, I could definitely give them a couple of them. It's like just like baseball cards.

Baseball cards went through. They were amazing. And then they died down. And now if you have baseball cards again again, so they'll go like this. Yeah. There's actually a whole I think there's a Netflix series on Bini, babies.

We watched it. Oh, we watched it together. That's why we did. OK, next question. Jack's, have you ever been to a Kentucky basketball game? I am obsessed with the, oh, I'm sorry. That was when I was getting into my next question. Jack's, have you ever been into a Kentucky basketball game? And the answer to that is absolutely, and I had a great time.

We went to Madison Square Gardens. We got to see him when we were in New York. Sorry, I saw them twice. Yeah, you saw them twice. In New York and in Kentucky, I got to go to the game. Nothing like when you're in Kentucky at the game or in a arena. And I loved watching the coach. Yes, he's awesome. He was just a mid, what's his name again? Calipari. Calipari.

He's like a legend. I should know that. But he is just amazing. You fell in love after the game, whenever we were listening to the radio and you were here and how he talks. Yes. That's what Maggie really kind of became a Kentucky fan. He's an amazing, just an amazing person.

He's a great leader. Yeah. Like, he should run for governor or something. He just seems like an amazing man. Like I was pumped up in the car leaving the game. I'm like, this guy is awesome. Super motivating. Super motivating. And I watched a documentary. I can't remember. It was on him or the, well, the cats when I got home and it just how many people he has gotten to the NBA. And how many people loved him and did this, they had this dinner for him. And they're like, just what an amazing, amazing man. So answer your question.

Shout out Big Blue Nation, Bocaps. I had a great time at the game. And yeah, I would definitely go again, 100%. I love that. Okay, Jacks, I've got people texting me saying, can you please help Jacks sign his appearance release? I need that ASAP. You know what, how do you, to help Jacks sign his appearance release? I need that ASAP to learn how to sign your own documents. Wait a minute, who signed that?

Nicole, but you got to learn how to sign your own documents. Oh my God. I'm so sorry. I know, why didn't I sign it when I was there? I don't know, Jack. I'm sorry. Why do you do that, though? I always forget. So our producer Alex started his own podcast and I forgot to sign the release. You guys are going to really enjoy that one. It comes out all the way. Yes, for sure. I got one. Jacks, did you go to college?

When did you leave Michigan? Okay, the story with that is. Okay. I cannot imagine you at college. I didn't ask for it. I didn't ask. a long time. I didn't ask. I went for two years. I went to McComb College and we call it Hall Road High,

where I'm from. And I just couldn't get into it. I tried and I tried and I tried and I sat in the front of the class and I would just daydream. I would just daydream. Nothing was interesting to me. I would leave and I'd be like, this is misery. I cannot see you in school.

I just can't. How did you do it in high school in that? I was fine. Did you make a great? Always, always, always. Never in A. I got A's and Jim swim, but I don't count that. Everybody could get A in that.

Yeah, but I know I got all. You have pool in your school. Yeah, I took swim class first period. We didn't have nothing like that. I mind you, I mind you people. Mind you go into swim class first period in Michigan when it's zero below that. I mind you, I mind you people, mind you go into swim class first period in Michigan when it's zero below out. So you're not only getting off the bus seven in the morning.

That sounds awful. Any way, right? You got to jump right in the pool in a speedo in high school. By the way, Do you like guys out of where speedos in front of everybody? I was in a co-head gym class or swim class. So and you guys had to wear speedos?

Yes. Come on, you being a high school kid. I'm not a weird lot about where you are. And you were a nerd, weren't you? That was not a nerd. I thought you were like, you didn't even like start dating until you were like 18 or something. I didn't become cool until my senior year. I started dating a cheerleader. And then I started hanging around like the football players and stuff like that. I played hockey on high school.

So I was never around. I was never around. I was traveling a lot. I wasn't like the coolest kid in the world. I was kind of like the middle of the block. You know what I'm saying? I was I bet everybody like couldn't believe it whenever you came. Like a reality TV star.

No, well, no, what happened was I started modeling the very last two months of high school. They're doing small stuff. Yeah. So that even up to my auntie even more. When I was in those K-Mart Sunday flyers, People were like, damn, he's a K-Mart. I was at your first modeling job. K-Mart was my first modeling job. The Sunday flyers, the sports authority, things that came out in the weekly newspapers. I think mine was a Harley Davidson calendar.

Why am I never seen that? You have. Have I? Yeah. I was on a big motorcycle and I had a gun in my hand and a cowboy hat on. Yeah, so to answer your question, I went, I'm sorry. I did go to Hall Road High, which is McComb College.

I went for two years and then I worked at a golf course while I was at school. I, like I said, I just, I just couldn't do school. It just wasn't for me. I couldn't do school. I just couldn't do it. I was like, I sat the front row. Of course, we're gonna have to have,, what do they call tutors for everything.

So, I came home, I go, dad, listen, I'm on dad. I love you guys more than anything, but it's just not for me. It's something I got to pack up the car, and I got to get the hell out of here. And I just bounced. I bounced, I think I went to Miami, and I went to New York, and I went to LA. But, it worked out for you. It worked out. I just couldn't do it.

I just couldn't do it. And I left Michigan in. I do regret not finishing though. You know, remember whenever I tried to do online to finish it and I could not, like that was hard. Yeah. Oh yeah. I mean, could you imagine going back now? Oh my god.

It would be awful. But I encourage anyone listening to finish college. Oh, you absolutely should. I think I have my associates agree or I'm. Yeah, right. No, you don't. I don't know. You would know. I didn't even care.

I honestly, I just, I just, I just, I left one day. I left school and I just never went back. I mean, like I call and cancel my classes or anything like that. Well, good thing you didn't need a diploma for a reality TV. I think the main reason I stayed on is to keep my health insurance. So I was covered under my parents. So if you were to call at 26, you got taken off. You got taken off.

So it was at 26. No, it was like as long as I can't remember. 26, around there. But you had to have, you had to be a full time college student to be covered under your parents. So I was like, that's the only reason I was tagging on for so long. I'm like, I don't want to be here.

And then I was just like, effort, packing the car. I loved it, but I was because I was cheerleading and doing all that. It was fun to do all the away games. And it was just a really fun time in my life. I just wish they taught other stuff. How to budget your money, how to do taxes,

how to, things that you need in life. I still have no idea. I just said you need it in life. Not like I had to learn how to balance a checkbook. That was one of the things I had to like stuff like that was just so unnecessary. Well, and the teachers would always be like, you're not going to have a calculator all the time. And now literally we have. I know, but they need 24 seven.

I have everything. They need to teach life skills like things like saving money and budgeting money and now there's like social media classes. I know. So what if crews wants to get into that? I mean, it's a, it's a, you can do it every once in a while. I mean, the gaming industry, I think is like that? He can do what everyone wants to do. The gaming industry is a billion dollar industry.

It makes more than movies and sports combined. All right, thanks so much everybody for listening to Wind Reality. Hits, we'll see y'all next week. Have a wonderful week. you
