We have had the best time over the weekend. We just got back from a surprise visit to BravoCon.

I'm still recovering. It was BravoCon. I was still recovering. It was absolutely amazing. It was so nervous. We'll get into it, but wow, what a crazy weekend it was. There were so many people there and it was awesome to like meet everybody. And it was also just so cool to be back in the, you know, with our Bravo fam. It's been years since we've been to BravoCon. We went to the very first Bravo Con.

So it felt great to be back. It was, I didn't know what to feel. I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about it. I was nervous. I had anxiety. We couldn't sleep. We were like, what do people don't remember us? And it was just the opposite.

Everybody was just absolutely amazing. I couldn't believe how many people there were. I had to like run. People were chasing me into the bathroom. Yeah. Yeah, Jack Scott tackled in the men's restroom. It was, it was a bit like this. Like hold up ladies.

It was crazy. I had so much fun. I met so many great people. Yes, we did. I mean, people have still been following this, even though we haven't been around for the last couple of years, but that's all about the change. Yeah, I mean, the producers let it slip.

So we're not going to get any trouble here, because they did a panel at BravoCon, and they announced that you have a conversation with Santa Vol on the new season of Vanderpump rules. Oh, yeah. So basically, they let it out that you will be back on a couple episodes. Yeah, yeah, I filmed, I think, I feel a few times, a few times actually. So it should be interesting to see how that plays out, but it was a lot of fun.

Yes, I do film a scene with Santa Valle. It's actually a very intense scene. It's not just with Santa Valle either. It's with a couple of the other guys, but we had a really good time of filming it. Like I said, I was pretty nervous because that was kind of my first episode back actually.

I think it was my first episode back. Well, we can't give too much of what you'll have to watch it. It takes place in a pretty iconic spot. And there were so many people there watching the scene too. So it was kind of like a live footage thing. I know, it's crazy how many people will like follow around whenever there's filming going on there. Do you know what I mean?

Because the restaurants they know they're going to be at the restaurant. So it's just became like such a thing, which is crazy. But I want to know, Jack, who was your favorite person that you saw over the weekend at BravoCon? You know, it was so nice reminiscing with everybody, catching up with everybody. My favorite person, I don't know.

There's so many great people there. Who was your favorite person? I thought it was cool to see Vicki again. She's always so nice to us every time I've seen her. She's always been so kind. And she won like the housewife Award or something like a lifetime award or something. So she was, I don't know, it was just nice to see her. She was nice as the first time. So I remember when I won my first award at BravoCon.

What you in? I got the Bravo Bro Award. It's still in my garage. I keep it in the garage. But the bro award, what is it? Bravo, bro. What is a bro award? What is a bro award, Maine? I don't know. I don't think I was very much of a bro in those days, but it was the first Bravo award show, and it's a really nice piece. Actually, it's in my garage right now.

I use it as a paperweight. No, I'm just kidding. It's in my man cave. But yeah, I remember winning in my first one. That's a pretty exciting time. But I get to say like the captain. I always remember running in the car. Yeah, we saw Captain Lee in person. We've had him on our podcast before, but that was my first one. That's pretty exciting time, but I get to say like the captain I always been a running Yeah, we saw captain Lee in person. We've had him on our podcast before but that was our first time actually meet

Well, my first time meeting him. I met him a few times. Oh, you have? Yeah, yeah, I did a show on Hulu Remember that commercial I did with Hulu a long time ago. Oh, yeah, that's why he was talking about John legend Uh, okay. Well, that was my first time. I corrected myself. Yeah, we had a good talk. We had a good talk. But like I said, just running into a little bit of area. To be honest, I guess the best, the people that I look forward to seeing the most was the people behind the scenes,

the people that don't see. Like the producers, the show runners, the writers, all those people are like the people that I really enjoy seeing because, they're just so good to us over the years. I mainly keep in contact with everybody more or less still, but sometimes you know, you don't get to see the producers after you leave a show or it up.

So it was nice for everybody to be there and see everybody again. And yeah, it was just, there was a whole lot of them. Chef was a hoot. Yeah, he had some great stories for me. I wish I could share them, but I got to try to keep the show PG. Chef is something else.

He was just walking around by himself, majority of the time like just so funny to have the else he was just walking around by himself majority of the time like just so funny to me. He cracks we up. Yeah, he's on his own like timeline. Yeah. I ran into him in the lobby. He's like, Oh, I got to go. I supposed to be doing the Andy water happens live thing. And

then I hear that he didn't even make it to that. So he was just wondering around on his own every single time I saw him. And we had dinner at some amazing places. Hawker's on being one of them. It was nice, our publicist Lori and Mike Steniger who we loved dearly set us up a beautiful dinner at Hawker's on, which we always love.

It was so. Oh, by the way, Brittany did gamble. I always really took her for a lot on her gamble. If you want to call it gambling, she does usually, normally 90% of the time we go out there, she usually does well. But this time she got killed. I can win $1. Not only did she get killed with her money,

but she lost my money as well. Listen, Jackson's a penny pincher 24, 7. But for some reason, I'd invite you to get a little like drinks in him. He just starts handing me 100 dollar bills. I don't even know that you know that you do that, Jackson. I know. I just, you're such a

penny-pincher and he's definitely one of those like sitcom dads that's always like checking the thermometer and making sure all the doors are shut and the lights are off and all that stuff. But get him a little couple drinks and Vegas and he'll start handing you the 100. So these are why the richest men in the world are rich is because they're cheap. They don't spend their money. True. But like I said, give them a couple drinks and pay us if we're good to go. I'm always gonna be like,

I am a penny-pincher, but yeah, she not only took down her money, but she took down mine with her funny story though. So soon as we landed in Vegas, the first place we went to was Hooters. Yes, we love Hooters. And we were just like, we got some time to kill.

Why don't we stop at Hooters first? Get our Hooters wings fixed Because we don't have one locally around here our closest one is the long beach so it's kind of a hike to get there So we decided to stop at hooters and get our hooters fixed and then on the way out we're like Screw it. You want to stop at hooters again We had about two hours to kill before To catch our flight and we're like let's hit Hooters again one more time. Oh my God, we were only there for one night too.

So we went two days in a row. Oh, technically two days. Yeah. We were two full days. But yeah, so we hit Hooters twice. So we got our fix. Yes, but I was like, oh, maybe I'll win in this hotel because it was like a smaller hotel.

It's been there forever. It's in like Hooters and like the Tropicaner or something. It's the old Tropicaner. It's now called something else. Like, it's been there forever. It's in like the Trappocana or something. It's the old Trappocana, it's now called something else. Like, oh yeah, or something. Or something. It's a company that buys out failing hotels. Well, I thought, yeah, I got to bet you I'll win some money and their Willough Fortune is my favorite game.

The slot's Willough Fortune. I love it. It's the most popular slot machine of all. Joe is telling me. It is my all time favorite. I put in 100, I got up to like, 290, and then I just lost it all. I was so mad at her. I put in a hundred. I got up to like 280 and then I just lost it all. I was so mad. I'm like, don't you know how to gamble?

You pull out what you put in. So if you made 280 and you started with 100, you pulled 100. I don't know how to gamble. I'm terrible. And oh, you know who's the worst gamble or ever though? Tom Schwartz.

We were at the roulette table. And this guy puts like chips on every single thing, every single number on the entire board covers the entire board and like does a huge stack in the middle. I mean, you would have to hit the huge stack to win anything the way he bets on that game. He literally plays every single number. Every single number. And like, why do you play every single number?

Every single one and so much on each number, to like, how is he winning doing that? He loves to gamble, Tom is a gambler. Like, he loves to gamble, whether it's sports betting, you know, Oh my gosh. I was just cracking up though. Like, I've never seen anybody do that in my entire life

and he was just like, oh well, it's fun. He's so good. I was like, I have an heart attack. Like, if I lose $20, I literally want to go sit down and cry. That's what I need to. I can't even lose $20. I think it's just such a waste of money gambling. I can't, I'm not a big gambler.

I don't like it. I don't do a lot of sports betting. Once in a while I will. Once in a while I'll do some sports betting on hockey or something. For me and my head, if it's a for sure thing, I'll do one. But I'm just not big into like the gambling. Well, I'm not either.

It's just like one night you're like out drinking. Our huge gamblers, please stop saying you're not. I'm a huge gambler. Hell. Every time you're in the casino, you play a slot machine. Oh my gosh, that honey, only whenever I'm in Vegas,

I never would do it like anywhere else. Yeah, that's, I mean, where else can you gamble? Well, like losing like $100 in the slot machine is not like getting what other people do when they go to Vegas. They put like $20,000 on poker tables. Not only were you lost more than $100,

because I personally gave you $400 bills. So not only that, you play the dollar slots. You don't look and see it's 25 set machines or 50 set machines. You play dollar slots. Okay, and we're all the story. I am not good at gambling in Vegas. She's dollar slot. Okay, and world the story. I am not good at gambling in Vegas. She's not.

She needs to take a little break. I always forget whenever I'm up. It's hard to walk away. That's how they get you. Oh, is that how they get you? Yeah. Okay. I think you can see you coming a mile away.

And the oxygen pumping in. Even watching too many documentaries on Vegas. What? Even watching too many documentaries on Vegas. Don't they pump oxygen into it but keep you away. Don't have windows for a reason. Yeah. It's stuck in there. It's so fun though. I love that everything is just connected. You can just like walk around. You can shop. I was wanting to go to Gucci so bad. And Jackson

was like, no, no. Every time she walked into a store, I'm like, get out of there. Get out of there. Oh, gosh. We need to do before Christmas time and before proper tax time. I'm wanting to buy, I'm wanting to buy another car and Jackson's like, oh, and I'm like, I'll just wait till actor Christmas. It'll be my present to myself. So this is the new thing. She's on this new kick right now to buy a new car. She really, really wants a wagon here, which is a great wagon here. Don't get me wrong, but it's a car for when you have a larger car. She really really wants a wagon here. Which is a great wagon here. Don't get me wrong, but it's a car for when you have a larger fan.

Well, that's why I want it because we plan on having another baby. And as soon as we have another car seat, nobody's going to fit in our Jeep that we have now. Everybody knows you don't buy a car until after Christmas. That's when the sales happen. Okay. Well, after Christmas, hey, mark my words. Everyone listening after Christmas. I'm going to the car dealership. I can't wait. I go. Nothing., I'm going to the car dealership. I go, nothing I don't want a bigger car, or whatever, and I don't mind one, but let's get through tax season.

Let's get through Christmas. See, I'm very sick, comp-dad. Yeah, well, these are two big things right now. Okay, let's get through the holiday. But honestly, Jack, you gotta be real to these people. We need another car because the Jeep, we're gonna outgrow the Jeep. No, no, we're fine. We said the same thing about us. We have a five-bedroom house.

That's all the same. That's all the same. When reality hits is fueled by factor, America's number one ready to eat meal delivery service. I love the factor meals. I just recently had this chicken.

We went to some different rooms. There was like a Bravo Paloza. There was a take a picture with the cast. And I'm not going toot my own horn or anything, but we had the longest line. I'm sorry, Brittany's like, don't say that, but like we did. We did, we did, we did, we did,

we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did us. And we were the last ones left. We said, generally everyone's left out and we still were taking pictures. Of course, he says things like that. You know what? It just made me feel, I'm not trying to rub it in by any means, but I did say this because Tom and Tom were right next to us taking pictures and I did kind of look over and be like, sorry guys, sorry we have the longest line.

You guys are so, such dorks. I'm so sorry. Sorry our lives longer than You guys are so, such dorks, I swear. Sorry, our line's longer than this, buddy. Now, I just poking fun, but it did feel really, really good. Like I said, we've been out of this kind of, you know, the Bravo line light for a couple of years, and now we're back in again, so it kind of feels really, really good.

Yeah, we were really grateful everybody came to see us. That was awesome. We didn't really miss a beat. I felt like we had a great time. I felt like we got to see everybody we wanted to see. Yeah, I was going to be with our friends again, too, that we hadn't seen in a long time, like our southern charm friends. You know, it was good seeing all them and catching up. Yeah, it was a lot of fun. So people were asking how the how the bar is doing. The bar is doing

amazing. Here's the problem I'm having, though guys. And I think this kind of was going to happen. I could have saw this coming, but people love to buy me shots when I'm in there. They love to buy me drinks. Oh, already. And I was just, for the while, I was just doing them, doing them, and then I called up Schwartz. I'm like, Schwartz, what are you doing? Half the world in there wants to buy you a drink.

He's like, dude, I was getting drunk like crazy for a while, but then I figured out I'd have the bartender fill up my shot glasses with water. He's like, that worked for a while until people got wind of me doing that. So they wanted to smell the shots. What? Yeah. So he's like, yeah. People are all up in your grill like that smell in your shots. Yeah. Well, he's like, well, people would see me doing multiple shots, right? And he's like, there's no way he's doing that many. But anyway,

the shop queen, so people pull shots. Well, yeah, I am, I like to take a lot of shots too. But I also like to come in and say, hi to everybody. Be a little coherent to have conversations with people because you can't be doing that every time you go in there. That's the issue I'm having right now. All my wonderful fans and everybody coming into visit, love to buy me shots. And I just want to say it, everybody, thank you guys so much. Keep on doing it. It's a lot of fun, but I do got to do water one, water shots in between. We got some more gangs that we're bringing to the bar. Jack's got that little, I don't know if you guys have ever seen it. It's like a ring.

This little ring hangs on a string. And then you have to try to pick it or try to get it to land on the hook. Yeah. I get so I started bringing some extra kind of. It's like the best drug game ever because people will just stay in there and do it forever. It's the most, it's the silliest game ever. You swing a ring to get it on a hook. And it's like a piece of wood.

That's it. It's a piece of wood. So I got shuffleboard coming as well we have darts and then we have a lot of like for the so the in the beer garden I have a lot of board card games yeah card games like what do you mean yeah type games those games like drunk girl game yeah you know if you're stone games whatever just all these little cool card games so we added that to the tables along with Jenga,

and people are loving it. So, Jack, we love it. We sat here for three hours playing board games and we didn't even know where the time went. So, that's what we wanted. We wanted to be just like chill and relax. Like, we're not trying to open like something so super fancy.

Like, it's just fun. I wanted it to be like, you're hanging out at your friends. Yes. You know, laid back chill. I'm super excited for everybody to come and visit. We just got a new rotten hail neon. That's gonna go in the bar. So we're excited about that.

Pretty straight, quote, quote, was rotten hell. And we wanted to make sure we got that added to the bar. So I just got it. Actually, it's done today. I got to go pick it up. But yeah, it was, uh, oh, Jack, I know what you should talk about. Jack's got to meet Hulk Hogan. Oh my gosh.

So I'm 44 years old. Everybody knows that right. So Hulk Hogan was like right in my, you know, when I was 10, you know, 10, 12, 13, 14, that's like I loved Hulk Hogan. He was iconic. I mean, he was iconic. He was the world's biggest wrestler. He was just, he was just everybody knew who he was.

Oh yeah. I know who Hulk Hogan is. You, everybody knew who he was. He's so nice. Yeah, I know who Hoco is. You're 10 years older than me. So nice meeting him. He was such a humble guy. So just, I don't know, he just sat down and had a conversation with me. And, you know, like I said, I'm a little older

than most of our listeners, but my first question was, is how did you get the role on Rocky? Like, how did that come about? And him telling me the story. Oh, you asked him that? That's cool. That was my very first question and I asked him. And he told me the story on how he got it

and how much he was offered to play that role. They offered him $3,000. Oh my gosh. And he came back at $5,000. Wow. That's $100,000, half a million dollar, I'm sorry, half a million dollar role today. Oh my gosh, yeah. He was in Japan wrestling. That's $100,000, half a million dollar, I'm sorry, half a million dollar roll today. If you should.

Oh my gosh, yeah. He was in Japan wrestling and they sent, Sylvester Solone sent him a Western Union. Do you know what a Western Union is? Yeah. Like a money order thing? Like a 10-reff. Oh okay.

You gotta love to say, I would love to have you in my movie. Here's the money that I want to offer. His people came back at five and the rest is history. Wow. For 10 days, he told He's been there for 10 days. He told me, he filmed for 10 days and he did not like the stunt coordinators on his thing. So he said he wanted to do it all himself.

I mean, Hulk Hogan is an iconic guy. He is. It's just such a cool thing. And I think he really appreciated the fact that I dove into a topic like that instead of just like, wrestling. What's his favorite wrestling thing? It's something that was very small and you have to be a Hulk Hogan fan to know that. Yeah.

So when I asked him that, he looked at me twice. And I go, I was born in 79. I'm a huge, you know, Rocky fan. And I'm a huge fan of you. And I know the little things like this. And I just always wanted to know. And he just really, really enjoyed that. And I met his, his new bride.

She was very beautiful. She's a big fan of the show. Oh cool. He's a big fan of you and I. And his son, Nick. Uh huh. Very awesome. You and I and and his son Nick. Uh-huh. Very awesome. I think was there too. Nick was there as well. He's the DJ for all the bars. Oh wow. Remember when they had a reality show? I was going to give him that. So I don't know if you guys remember Nick and the Hogan family had a reality show back in the day.

And that's kind of how I knew about Nick. Yeah. his sister. Brooke, right? Yeah. She wasn't there. I don't know what the relationship was. I think something, I saw in the news that like Brooke didn't go to the wedding, but I don't know really much about it. I first heard about it, and there obviously I didn't want to get involved. Yeah. But like I said, I'll make this quick.

It was just an honor and a privilege to be in Clearwater, which is my favorite place in the entire world. I make it very known that I love Florida. I love Florida. I love Clearwater. We do. So it was just really cool. So yeah, my next appearance is it will be in Cincinnati. Very excited about that.

Is that what my girlfriends are going to go? Yeah, some of Britney's friends are going to be there. But yeah, we're really excited. We'll be in Cincinnati. So please, please come if you can. I love to meet you all. I have a lot of fun doing these. I get to meet everybody, take pictures.

Everybody answer questions. And also, side note, the merch is coming. So I'm going to be in Cincinnati. I'm love to meet you all. I have a lot of fun doing these. I get to meet everybody, take pictures, everybody answer questions. And also, side note, the merch is coming. Sorry, we've had some hiccups with merch lately. It is on its way.

That was your first time ever?

Yeah, well, my first time since 1993, okay, when it was like a little bit more normal to fly spirit. Yeah, the flight attendants were in puffer jackets. Oh, good. And I'm like, cute. Is there something that we need to know here? Like sure enough, so we got on the plane. Everybody's freezing cold. Oh my gosh. Oh, so the plane was like freezing cold. I thought you're like, I thought you met their uniforms. We're puffer jackets and ugly. No, they were all that. Like, oh, this is a brand new place. It's only two weeks old. And then why do you have puffer jackets on an Ugg boots? So I have about an hour into my flight.

My feet are getting cold. I'm freezing. I'm looking at the guy next to me. He's rocking back and forth. I know this place is two years old. I'm like, oh my god. I mean, I was already a little worried about getting on spirit airlines.

It's kind of like the bottom of the barrel of the airlines. You know, it's kind of like, you got to pay for your, you got to pay for everything. Coca Cola, like, you know, I like to go Coca Cola, but you pay for everything. And not only that, it's like going to the DMV. Yeah, but the one thing about spirit is they fly direct to some places that, like, don't normally fly direct. And they do. And it was a new plan.

And it was a really, it was a really nice plane. It was beautiful. This first class, they do have the first class seats. They're called the big seats. They don't recline, but they are but you may freeze your ass off. Yeah, Jackson, the airport diva. I didn't know if you guys knew this or not. I'm allowed to fly. Jeb Lou. Oh my god. It's a 30 day. They put you on a hiatus for 30 days. I could not even handle you, Jacks. I could not even handle you.

You getting on the black list. Yeah, I know. Gosh. So we have the holidays coming up. Chris. Oh my goodness. I'm so excited. We have a friend coming in town to stay with us

for a couple days. So we're going to wait until she leaves to get all the decorations out. But it's coming this week. Britty's from back home. My old trainer Megan is here with him in his 30 minutes. I'm excited to see her. Yes. I got a couple days off of Christmas decorating.

So I don't have to do it. I was like, we'll just wait because I didn't want to have stuff all over the place. But I don't know if you've noticed, Jacks, but there's a little Christmas things here and there that I've already gotten at. I know. And I'm like, I know for a fact I haven't gone to the store, June. So why is there Christmas decorations popping up? And you know what Brittany says this which says, oh, this is something that I forgot to put away last year and it was in a cupboard. I'm like, do I'm your husband? I know you. You bought stuff. You were buying more crap. You promised me you weren't going to buy any more things.

We are getting ready to go away for the holidays. We're doing a lot of traveling. Out here comes the cheap jacks again. We're spending a lot of money. Why are you buying more decorations? Well, I really needed that sign from the bathroom. Did you see it yet? No, I didn't even know we had a sign from the bathroom.

It says he sees you when you're pooping. What's the sign I had on it? It's so cute. Like I definitely needed that. That was like going to make or break us. Yeah, it was. We got a start in this Christmas decorations. I love it.

I should probably call you home and get reserved my truck. I have to get it. All the Halloween decorations are down. They're in the garage. They're ready for me to take them back. Yeah, I like to be completely decorated before Thanksgiving because we host a huge Thanksgiving for all of our friends that don't have family around here that come to our house. Normally, there's like 20, 30 people every Thanksgiving. Yeah, we have.

Every Thanksgiving. We do a big Thanksgiving here. We started it out because everybody likes to travel for the holidays. Brittany and I don't have much family here. So we kind of host a Thanksgiving dinner here that we have for all of our friends that don't get to travel and get to go back home

because obviously most people in California their families are not here. So we kind of do the I don't know what you call it the Friendsgiving. Friendsgiving. Yeah, that's the best way to go. But we do it on Thanksgiving. So we're there. We cook for everybody. And it just is it's become a tradition now.

And I love it. It is. It is. And we like she said we do it for a lot of people We started around five o'clock. We got the football game playing. I got the pool heated. I got a fire pit going It's come and go Whatever you know, we just love to have people here and I just love cooking for everybody all day long I bring all the southern dishes out. I mean, oh my mouth water and just thinking about it. It's gonna going to be awesome. I just realized we may have to remorgge the home to get the honey-backed hand this year. The price again. Jack's actually goes to the honey-backed hand store in Vaxenlán. I've been doing it since I was 16 years all over my dad. I sit and we go the day before or usually I'm Thanksgiving morning and

we pick up our honey-backed hand. It's tradition. I love it. I can't wait to do like all these little traditions with crews and like this is going to make the holidays just even fun or having a baby. Okay, I got a little question for you. I was scrolling through social media. Oh, Lord. And there was this thing on people, on teachers, on being on social media. What are your thoughts? Since our son is going to be starting school very soon, what are your thoughts on teachers being on social media and what they are allowed to put on there and what they do on it? What do you think about that?

I mean, I think it's completely fun to have social media, but like if they were on there, like posing nude and stuff, that would be a little awkward of course, but like, I don't think a teacher is gonna put anything crazy on there if they're smart. I mean, if they were out there posting some crazy stuff, that would be one thing.

But just to have a normal social media, I think that's completely fine. It's kind of weird when you don't have social media. I understand, I agree. It's weird. I think the way parents are nowadays, and I'm one of them. I'm now I become one of them,

where you're gonna look at social media. I'm gonna look at see if Cruz's teacher has. We've already looked at Ms. Rachel. We've already looked at Ms. Rachel. But I'm just looking at, I'm gonna notice that they're younger teachers. I'm like the younger girls that are on social media. And you know, just, I'm just wondering if it's,

is it a weird thing? Is it? I'm pretty sure if you're a teacher, like you would get in trouble for posting like bad things on social media. Yeah, I'm sure like. I'm sure, like you can't be out there posting dudes if you. I'm sure. Yeah, I'm sure like the monitors. I'm sure like you can't be out there posting news

if you're a teacher like that's not gonna happen. That's another thing. That's another thing. Do you think that that happens? Do you think some teachers have only fans? Oh my gosh. Oh, how would they go? Oh my gosh, please don't go looking for teachers' only fans.

I will kill you. Look where you took that. You took it to me. Looking up teachers' only fans. I will kill you. Look where you took that. You took it to me. Looking up teachers' only fans. Oh my goodness. Oh my gosh. I forgot that. That's a little too much. You know what? I did forget to ask you a question. I'm going to jump back to BravoCon really quick. I forgot. Did anybody at BravoCon rub you the wrong way? Did anybody kind of like, oh, you're an interesting person. You don't have to say a name. Don't say a name or a show, but did somebody rub you the wrong way? Was there an incident where you're like, hmm, okay.

Not that I remember. No. I don't think so. Okay, so it happened to me. It happened to me and I'm not gonna say who it is or whatever, but I was just kinda like, I know this person pretty well. And I was kinda like, let's keep it realized here

that you are a bravo liberty. And I feel like some bravo liberties get a little bit too high on their horses for certain things. And I was kind of like, these people paid so much money to be there, to see you. And I just feel like sometimes- Oh, you mean how they acted with the fans? Yes, there was one person particular that I saw when I was walking by that was almost couldn't be bothered. That couldn't want to take a picture. I'm like, these people pay your bills.

I don't see anybody doing that. You're not a talented actor where you're signed by Paramount or Sony to put a movie. That's a whole different thing. You are solely here because the people want you here. That's the only reason. So if someone asks you to take a picture,

you better fucking take a picture. Take a frickin' picture. That's why you're here. And so that bothers me. I'm the type of person, I don't know if you noticed that BravoCon. So we had these outlets where we would take pictures with people. They would shut it down hard. And I'm like, no, I'm not doing that. I know. Yeah. And I finished taking pictures. Yeah. Same. We, we did. We tried. We're so grateful.

I know. If you just ran into anybody, I didn't notice that. But yeah, that's awful if somebody was acting like that because yeah, I mean, all you should be is completely grateful for everything. You should be grateful. And you should be humbled by it. I mean, all you should be is completely grateful for everything. Please be grateful. And you should be humbled by it. I mean, even our haters are out there watching our stuff and listening to our podcast. Hi, dude. By the way, I ran into a hater.

I ran into a hater. And someone told me that this person was here talking about you. That's it. And they're the first ones that ask for pictures. The haters are the first ones. So I took a picture with this person. And then a girl behind me goes, that person writes a blog. It says negative things about you. But I'm like, that's weird The haters are the first ones. So I took a picture with this person and then a girl behind me goes, that person writes a blog and says negative things

about you. But I'm like, that's weird. She's the first one. So you know what I do with those people? I kill them with kindness. I kill them with kindness because your haters are your biggest fans. Yeah, that's true. And like nobody needs a stoop to a troll's level. You know, one of my trolls or the lowest of the loo. Yeah. Just live positive life everybody. Live in sunshine and rainbows. People were asking me if I talked to Sandra Ball, if I hung out with Sandra Ball, I did. I did, you know, like I said, I've gotten this before.

I feel like enough time is going by to where we can kind of, I think put this to bed. I think, you know, and I think he's a good person. I think he's just gone through some things. Everybody makes mistakes in life. Everybody screws up in life. Yes, what he did is wrong, but I'm not going to write the guy off. I mean, really, really nice conversation with him. Is it good he had conversations, but he got to take it slow

and make sure that people really changed. I am sure. It takes a long time to change. I know, but what you know from experience. What he went through though was life changing. I did talk to him. We had a really good conversation. I guess I would catch him up again. We had at least we sat and talked

for like two hours. We'll say, we'll say, we'll say, we'll say how this ends up. I don't know. I just wanted to make sure that he was okay. Of course. Yeah, I'm glad. I'm glad. But still team are you on them. I just want to know because people were asking, Jack, did you run into San Noelle? That's the question. Yeah. No, he No, he was really nice every time that we ran into him. And he's, by the way, still not drinking. He's still doing really well. And like I said, I hope the best for everybody. You just want to see everybody do well.

That's all. So the next question I had is, at Jack's, when's the last time you've been at Disney? Which, okay, so let me tell you guys, listen, I made the stupid mistake of buying season passes to Disney. Now, what is that a stupid mistake? Let me finish. Let me finish.

If you go twice, you've already saved and you're all your money. Let me finish. What I should have done was wait until after summer to purchase my tickets. I would have saved myself three months because kids are in school. Yeah, but it's a year pass.

No matter what, you're still gonna have that pass throughout the summer. It's a year pass. It doesn't matter when you buy it. Well, you're right. Okay, now that I'm thinking about that. You were so believing what you were saying. I was.

All right, put your stuff. Okay, anyway, let me give it back to you. We're going this month though. I've already reserved our tickets. So, we bought these tickets months ago. Guess how many times we've been in Disney since I bought these tickets? Why? Zero.

Yes, we have. Zero. We have not used our free passes since we've gone. No, we won't go in this month and that'll that'll equal out what we're doing. And the time we win when it's bottom. I don't know where you're from or where, where how you grew up, but when you buy season passes for something, all you can go on finity, there's not blackout dates. There's not days you can't go. Now I look up, there's blackout dates. So you can't go on certain days. Yeah. And you have to reserve your tickets like forehead and advance to these days. Yeah. It's the point of buying season passes.

I think it all changed after COVID. Like how many people they allow in and stuff. It's, yeah, it's completely different. But that does suck. We, we luckily got in on like one of the best passes because they only sell certain passes for different days. And I know that like law law had so many more blackout dates because they only had a certain kind of pass available whenever she got hers. It was different than the one we got. This is a huge money grab. It's crazy that they you can't and you can't even just like pick which pass you wanted that

day in particular is what like pass you have to get. Right. And I am a huge fan of. Oh, we loved it. I'm going Monday through Thursday with school is in. Yeah. That's time to go. I am a huge fan of that. Oh, we love Disney. I'm going Monday through Thursday, when school is in. Yeah. That's the best time to go. I am a huge fan.

We love Disney. We're complaining, but take our money, Disney. Yeah. Awesome. I remember it's Sky Zone. And I take cruise a couple of times a week. And we go between Mondays and Thursdays, between 10.

I'm telling people when I go, no, no, no, I'm going to show up. No, we go to Sky Zone between 10 and two. Like three, yeah. Sweet spot. Yeah. Two. Because kids start getting out of school on three, and they gonna show up. No, we go to sky zone between 10 and two. Like three, yeah. We have a sweet spot in two, because kids start getting out of school on three, and they rush to play. Oh, and you can tell, like I said,

as the kids come in, I'm Jackson semi-videos, and you can tell like, oh, school's out, because all the kids start running in. Oh, all my dad, so I have a dad group chat, right? And I always send pictures to all my other dads, like, Jack, where do you go that there's nobody there? I go, I have a sweet spot I hit it between 10 and 2 o'clock Monday through Thursday and there's nobody there

Who has a place to himself? I mean absolutely love it. It's such a good place to get the energy out You know because like cruise it just wants to run run run run run run run run run. It's like that's heaven for him You know, oh he loves it guys another note here, jumping around all over the place here. We have karaoke now at Jackson's. It starts this Monday, Brittany and I are gonna be there to help judging. We got merch prizes, we got money prizes, we got food prizes.

Are we gonna pick somebody who like sings good or are we gonna pick somebody who does a good show or are we gonna, how's that gonna go? That's a great question. And here's what I'm thinking. Since this is Hollywood, every time you go to a karaoke bar here, it's like you're going up against X, I got talent. I've got whatever people like to do.

X factor. Whatever reality shows the singing ones, I don't know. But I feel like in Hollywood, you're going up against people that competed on, you know, I've got talent or what all those shows, you know, I'm talking about shows. So I feel like we're competing though. So our bar is a little different. We're more laid back, we're a little lounge. I want to see a performance. I don't care if you can sing. If you

can't sing, show me what you got. Like I said, we got money prizes, we got merch prizes. It's going to be so fun. It's our first one this Monday. We're very excited. We're going to continue to do these. We're also going to start doing live podcasts down the road. We'll let everybody know whenever that's happening. Jackson likes to get ahead do these. We're also going to start doing live podcasts. Down the road. We'll let everybody know whenever that's happening. Jackson likes to get ahead of himself.

We're not ready for that yet, but definitely karaoke and all the fun is happening at Jackson's. Woo-woo. Yeah, I'm very excited. But how cool is it going to be to do live podcasts? That way, people can come in. We'll do mimosas and bloody marries. People can watch Britney and Lala and Sheena

and whoever wants to come in and do a live podcast. I think it'll be a really great idea. So I'm excited for it. So anyway, that's what's going on. I have a very excited, I know I talk a lot, but I missed you guys. I have lots to say. We had a good time at Bravo Con. We're so happy to be back and I hope everybody has an amazing week.
