Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. Hello everybody and welcome back to When Reality Hits with Jackson Brittany. Hey everybody. We are so happy to be back in LA.

We have been so busy. We traveled to Kentucky and then to New York City, back to Kentucky, then to Vegas. And now we're finally back in L.I. at our house. It's been a crazy couple of weeks, but we've had a lot of fun. Yeah, we did our first podcast abroad, with Tom Schwartz, which was really, really good. Thanks for listening, everybody.

Yeah, I think he finally got to say what was on his mind. Yeah. I had a tendency to talk over a little bit, but there was just so much to say, and I wanted to... We had so many questions we were trying to get in. I know, we had a little bit of a time restraint on that. So we wanted to get everything out. So I apologize if I was talking over Tom and all.

But I think for the most part that he said, everything that was on his mind. And I hopefully it cleared up a lot of things. Just to recap on that, I think he was kind of caught between a rock and a hard place on this. And I think he's going through a lot. And I think he's coming up and doing better now. Well, I think it was important that he was honest and noticed that he messed up.

Right. You know, like I think that was what needed to be said is that he knows that he messed up and that he's taken a break from saying of all and that is just that's all very positive. And I think, you know, to, you know, Ford. It's just good for his mental well being too. Right now, he's like I said, going through a lot personally. So I think that's a good thing for him. Yes, so to recap we were in Kentucky where I'm from I'm from Winchester Kentucky for those of you who don't know my nephew Brayden graduated high school.

So we got to see him graduate. That was awesome. We had a graduation party for him that I helped decorate and help put together with my mom and my sister. And it was so, so much fun. I can't believe that my nephew is already graduating high school, it makes me feel so old, I just love him so much. And then also my little brother Blake got married to Kristen, it was such a beautiful wedding. We had the best time ever. Cruz was supposed to be a ring bear. He just turned two.

So he's kind of a shy kid. He definitely, okay, it was like 100 degrees, right? Jack's. Yeah, it was 100 degrees outside. He was in a polyester soup. Succeed out three feet. He looked so, so cute, but he was not a good one. Missed his nap was like. You did not get his

his pregame chicken nuggets. But Chris did my sister now sister lost you a so sweet. She was texting me the day of cruises and walked down the aisle. It's fun. I'm like, this is your wedding day and you're texting me telling me.

It's okay. Like she's just so sweet. I'm so glad that she married my brother. It was just amazing. But it was so funny. Jack's was holding cruise and just put him at the end of the aisle and crews just like, no.

He went full like limp, like you know, like that body. And then he was like, no, no, no. He was not having it. And then everybody just kind of giggled for a second. Jacks just took him away. I was like, Jacks, no matter what, if crews does not go down the aisle with my niece Presley, who was the flower girl, it was adorable. I was like, just do not walk down the aisle with them because I could see Jack's just walking down the aisle to my seat with the baby. I was like, no, okay, just make sure you go around the outside because I was in the front trying to get them to walk towards me, but I was also in heels. So I had Jack's do all the heavy lifting and running that day.

It was a that day. It was a great day. It was a lot of fun. Yeah, but he wasn't, he definitely didn't make it down the aisle that day, but he was just so cute. And it was so amazing to see him with all his family and playing with his cousins and just having the best time and doing all the things that I did whenever I was little,

like playing in my MMOs pool, running out on the farm, playing with the horses. He just loves all that animals. And it's just so cute to watch and learn and grow. It's my favorite thing ever. I mean, he's only two. That's pretty young for a ring bear. So he did good.

He was so cute. All the pictures and whatever. I was proud of him. Then he's a little angel. Then we left cruise in Kentucky and hopped on a plane and shot over to New York City for the reunion watch party. Yes, they were like the surprise guest that Bravo flew up, which was cool.

Yeah, it was a lot of fun. The bar was just, I can't remember the name of the bar, but it was so cool. Do you remember the name of the bar? I've done, but it was just amazing seeing all the people. We took so many photos and people were telling us so many stories, how they relate, I had so many people come up to me, telling me about talking to me about weight loss after having a child and how much that being so open and honest about my journey meant to them and help motivate them as well.

And that just meant so much to me, because I just try to be open and honest about everything that I do. And, you know, it was a struggle. So hearing other women say that I helped inspire them, just really, really, really meant a lot to me. And I don't know if you noticed, I don't know if you were there or not,

I got behind the bar again. It's been many, many years since I've been behind the bar, but it was so much fun making shots again for everybody. Again, everybody coming up to us, we miss you, we went back on the show, everybody was just so nice and it was just kind of, it brought back a lot of the feelings So we just had such a great time. It felt good to be with our Bravo fam again. Yeah, that's for sure

It was awesome that they wanted us to be there. It was two nights away from crews, you know We don't we're not away from crews very often. He's with us all the time and we were both missing him so bad Whenever we got back to Kentucky, we were like chasing and pushing each other, like almost like we were trying to get to the finish line first to see who got to hug cruise first. We get through the doors and he was asleep. It was nap time, but he was so happy to see us when he woke up. So then we decided to jump on a plane and head to Vegas where we met up with Sheena and Brock for the opening of Fantasy Lab, which was awesome. We stayed at the new resort, the Conrad, which is in Vegas, which is a very cool resort. It's the world resorts. Resort world.

Resort world. Yeah. First time there, very cool, huge, overwhelming. It was just, it was crazy. Cruise in summer, we're running around. They loved all the rooms. It was like very psychedelic and super cool. They had our dogs framed and these like huge photo frames And they had Sophie with angel wings our dog that passed away It was mitt so much to me. Of course, I was like crime because that's all the photos of Sophie That was just such a sweet touch So if you were checking our Instagram out and you were asking what was what we're where we were

It was called fantasy lab LV. Yeah, it's a really really cool place They open it for kids during the day. And then in the evening, it goes into an adult's only. Yeah. Obviously, there's cocktails and everything. To be honest, I would love to go back by my, well, with my wife, of course, but I like to go back and do it

maybe on some mushrooms. Because it would be a lot of fun if you were on something in there. But it was such a cool experience, again, with the dogs. I mean, I was still talking about it. I don't know if you were on something in there. But it was such a cool experience again with the dogs. I mean, I was still talking about it. I don't know if you guys look at our Instagram, but we posted pictures of our dogs on the walls in this place. And it was just so cool that they did this.

And they even little Sophie, who are our late dog who passed away. They even did a picture of her. So it was very, very sweet and very cool. We had a great, great time. And then Brittany said, I'm going out and I took the baby, we went back to the hotel room and Brittany went out. Washtina, for a little bit, we were home

by like 11 o'clock. It's not like we actually stayed out that late. I was so exhausted after traveling for that long and flying back and forth and back and forth. Oh, we ran into Perez, Hilton, and hung out with him all night for a while. That was pretty cool. I think that was my first time meeting him in person. But yeah, it was fun. He was nice and everything. At first, I felt like he was kind of staying off fish. And then I was like, after some time, where I felt like he was kind of not really talking, we were talking about, she was only

talking to she and I was like, that's because I had a little bit of a sort of one. No, I said, I just, it just dawned on me. And I was like, do you know like my husband? Yeah, that's what I asked him. He was like, I can't remember exactly what he said, but he was something like, uh, not really, we got into it once or something. I was like, I knew something was up,

because I could tell that you were acting a little different towards me. And I was like, he's changed a lot. And I was trying to take it for you. And he was like, okay, that's good to hear just kind of talking like nice about it. But what did you do? I feel like you're always doing damage control for me. I am.

I am. I'm always trying to get people to see the good in you. I mean, look what he does for living. He just goes online and, you know, to wash people and puts white lines and everybody's noses on with paint and everything. And I just didn't like that. I didn't like how he went after and attacked a lot of pain and everything. And I just didn't like that. I didn't like how he went after and attacked a lot of, you know, people that just didn't deserve it.

So I kind of went off on Twitter. Well, Jack should go off on everybody. Of course, of course. You know, you don't throw rocks in glass houses. He was, yeah, exactly. He was nice to me, though. He was. But I could tell, so there was often the beginning, I was just like, you don't like my husband

to you because I've never met him. So, you know, me, I'm not giving me to somebody. I know, when you walked into the room, told me, guess who I ran into? I was kind of like, oh, good. Well, I didn't know that history, but I could just sense that something was there. That's why I turned the fridge.

It was years ago. I was scared. I was sleepover. He was nice and that's all that matters to me. But yeah, it was such an interesting week. We had so much fun. Got to spend a lot of time with Sheenaah and Brock and the babies got to play together and it was just a lot of fun. New York City was crazy though because, you know, the fires in Canada were so bad and so crazy that the sky was

yellow, the air quality was horrible even in New York City. So while we were there, the mayor was saying not to go outside. I mean, it was a whole thing. So prayers to everybody, you know, in Canada that had to deal with these fires. It was literally walking outside. It was like campfire. I mean, you could breathe. Everybody had masks on again. And he just, it was tough. I had to get up early one morning and do Claudia's podcast to the toast,

which was my first time doing her podcast. And I am a toaster, big fan of Claudia and her sister, Jackie, was a lot of fun. Jackie, I mean, Claudia can talk so fast. So people with her was interesting. She had some great questions. I'm not sure if you guys listen to the toast with Claudia, but you should. If you don't, she's an amazing girl. And she's just, we have so much fun.

So, yes, we did that. Then coming home from that was, what do we do after that? What do we do after I came over the podcast? Oh, that we went to the event. Yeah, we went to the event. It was super, super fun. And then of course, Vegas was at the end. We came back to LA yesterday. Actually, we just got back and I'm sorry. First thing I did, we went to Home Depot and got Jack's a what is it called? A blower? Before we get into that real quick, I forgot to mention, I'm sorry,

after the party, the reunion party, we got together with Ariana's new boyfriend, and I just wanna say, I really, really like that guy. Super, super nice. I know you've seen him probably on social media, but yeah, my first time hanging out with him, and he was really, really cool.

We had some drinks and, you know, talk. And actually, I've had a lot of fun. Yeah, he was super nice. Yeah, so anyway, I just wanna get back. Happy for the M big upgrade. Yeah, and he was really, really cool. We had some drinks and you know, talk and actually I was super nice. Yeah. So anyway, I just want to get back. Happy for the M big up here. Big up great. Well, back to home people.

In my favorite place. Yeah, we got a home depot and Jackson's wanting to get a blower because it for his new turf that one that has a sucker. He's so weird about his backyard. What did he call it? A vacuum. Well, we got turf in the backyard now. Yeah.

I know this is real interesting stuff. Everybody's so on their edge of their seat right now. But anyway, you wanted a vacuum cleaner. So we ended up getting not a vacuum cleaner. It could either lower that vacuum. Yes. So he wanted one of those so we got him a early father's day present for me and Cruz. So that was our week. It was crazy, but it was a lot of fun.

Oh yeah, wait, another thing that happened this week

is my Cupshi collab dropped. That was amazing. That's been so much fun. So everybody check out my Cupshi collab dropped and that was amazing. That's been so much fun. So everybody check out my Cupshi collab. I know all the girls, especially at the toast, were talking about that. They got their big suits and they're so cute. The bathing suits and the dresses are so amazing. And it's all about empowering women and being able to feel great in your own skin and having

support for all different body types. And that just means a lot to me, especially after having a baby. I don't talk about it much, but I do have stretch marks and loose skin on my lower tummy, something that I can be insecure about, but you still want to feel amazing in a bathing suit. And that's why this collab was really important to me, and I hope that I can inspire other women to feel confident and let out their tiger stripes,

because we are strong, that's for sure. And that's not too, not too, uh... Oh yeah, don't you have something going on? James and I, yes, that's what I said. James and I are throwing a party at Sir. That's gonna be insane. Oh my gosh, I'm preparing for this because I know it sold out in like five minutes.

It's gonna be intense. I can't believe you and James are doing something together. I'm gonna need to do some yoga beforehand. I'm drink a lot of water. Yeah, water, water, water. I have no idea what to expect. I haven't done I'm gonna drink a lot of water. I have no idea what to expect. I haven't done something like this in a couple years. It's been a long time.

I can't wait to talk about it on our next podcast. I'm sure it's gonna be a lot of talk about. Yeah, but so yeah, James and I are throwing a party. That's sir. I'm ready for it. Also, this coming weekend is Father's Day. That's right. I'm ready for it. I'm ready for it. Also, this coming weekend is Father's Day. That's right. I'm very excited.

Like I said earlier, we did already get Jack's, his leaf blower slash vacuum. And then I got a couple that it will sweet things that I'm getting for Jack's. But what did you want to do all day on Father's Day? Well, what I want to do all day on Father's Day, which I know what I'm going to be doing. So the company, this company called Gold Belly,

set me an amazing package, two beautiful Tomahawk steaks. And I don't know if you guys know this or not, I am a huge meat eater, I'm a big meat eater, I love all kinds of meat. And these, I've never had Tomahawk steaks before. That's out of my price range. I'm pretty, but so I got him ready to go. They're in the freezer right now.

But let's be real. Who's going to be cooking them? Britney's probably going to be cooking them. But I'm so excited. I've been googling how to cook these bad boys. My dream, and I'm going to make this dream come true. So Father's Day, we're going to be grilling some Tomahawk. At the pool.

At the pool with Cruzy and my beautiful wife. And we're going to have baked potatoes, corn on the cob. We're going to be playing in the pool, at the pool with Cruzy and my beautiful wife. And we're gonna have baked potatoes, corn on the cob, we're gonna be playing in the pool. That's my ideal father's day. If I can have, my favorite, it's pretty, it's like, what do you wanna do on father's day? You can do anything you want. Because for a mother's day, I wanted to go to moon shadows

and we did, it was amazing. I did everything that Brittany wanted to do. What I wanna do is I wanna be in my backyard, barbecuing with my family. I think that's to me is what father's day is. but that's how I spent every Father's Day with my dad. He never wanted to go anywhere. He just wanted to be at home with his wife and his kids and he wanted a barbecue. I think that'll be great.

I'm like tearing up right now just because I'm thinking about my dad right now. Oh, I just think like that's just like the best Father's Day you can possibly have. So I'm super excited. Brittany, all you have to do is give me a couple of baked potatoes and a couple of cobs on the corn. And now we'll call it a day. Cubs on the corn. A couple of cobs on the corn, couple of cobs.

Now we will do it all. It's going to be perfect. And I got you some little sweet special things from crews. We'll talk about that. You guys already got me my leaf blower. So I'm excited about that. But anyway, yeah, I'm super excited. Thank you guys again for the company from Goldbelly for sending me those beautiful steaks. I cannot wait. We'll talk about them next week.

Hopefully I can make them right. I've never cooked on the grill where you have to like put the string around and everything. I mean, I'm going to YouTube it up. I make these steaks delicious. Love it. Love it. So y'all are moving around a lot. These days going from LA to Kentucky to New York. That's a lot for a grown adult to handle, let alone a two year old boy. How does he handle moving around the country like that? Well, the time difference from LA to Kentucky is three hours. So he's three hours ahead whenever he got to Kentucky.

The first couple nights were not easy. I traveled with him by myself. Jacks came up a couple days later, just because I want Cruz to spend as much time with his family as cousins as he can. And I don't like leaving my house for that long. Yeah. So whenever we got there the first couple days he was definitely very off schedule. He was taking really light naps because of the three hour time chain so then he wasn't going to bed till

super late. But over time he was able to get back on a normal schedule. He started taking his naps earlier. He started going to bed earlier, and then he just became, he just got used to the time change. We didn't take him with us to New York, he sat in Kentucky, so he didn't have to deal with like traveling there. He got to go to like Malibu Jax and do fun things with him. I, dad and with my mom and his cousin Presley.

So he was able to kind of keep that the same. And then we went to Vegas and we got back on the LA time. And he actually didn't do that bad. He is one amazing traveler, I will say. He is such a good kid. He is so chill, he's so calm. He just likes to like look at his books and play with his toys.

And he does all these like number games and letter games so that he can learn at the alphabet and everything and he's just so smart. He just embodies me every single day. We've traveled with crews like, God, he's traveled a bunch. How many times has he traveled now? He's been a Miami, he's been to Vegas other times,

he's been to Kentucky multiple times, he's been to Michigan, he went to Mexico for Sheena's wedding. Yeah, he's even got a passport. Yeah. He's got his passport now, finally. Yeah. But yeah, he has a really, really good traveler. Afterwards, people were like, he was so good. And it just makes you feel good, you know,

whatever he's doing, so good at other people. Notice it. He's like, I didn't even know there was a baby on this plane. I'm like, oh, thanks. You know, such a fun age right now too, or so, every day, something new and learning so much. Like, he just is amazing me every single day. And he's coming out of his shell a lot, you know?

Like, around my family, we had so many family members in town for my brother's wedding. And Cruz was just going around to people and like making them laugh and running around being the center of attention. I had to like a little ham. I mean, it's just the cutest thing to see. It really amazes me.

Would you ever take them to Malta? Funny story about that. First of all, happy birthday to my dad in heaven. And just so happens that my sister and her husband are in Malta today. Today, yes. They've been on a two week European adventure. They were in Italy, they went all over Italy, and they actually left Italy today,

the place they were at was in Tropicia, I don't know if I'm saying that correctly, but they stayed at a beautiful Airbnb. I posted the pictures on my social media, just gorgeous, gorgeous place. And it's really cool that she got to be in Malta on your dad's birthday. Yeah, and she's in Malta on my dad's birthday.

Yeah. My dad loved these little things called posities and she's there. She's like, first thing I'm doing is getting up the plane is I'm going to the bakery to get some pieces. Oh, I have to take a fireball shop for your dad later. Yeah. And I don't know, obviously, if you guys know this or you don't know this, my father is Maltese.

And you know, my dad's side of the family is all Maltese. And it's just such a beautiful, beautiful place. It kind of just reminds me of a smaller Italy. I think we would definitely take Cruz, but wait till he's older. Because right now he just wants to run and play and do all the boy things. Like he's such a boy.

And like, I don't think that he would understand the beauty and like what it means that he's actually from here and this and that. So, but I would definitely love to take him like when he's like, yeah, when he gets old. Right now, Legoland is the next one. Yeah, I'm trying to get him to Legoland. But yeah, I'm just like I said, today's my dad's birthday and it's,

it's just really cool that my sister gets to be in Molta on his birthday. So I miss them. Happy birthday, Ron. I miss them terribly, you know, every day and I know he's looking down on me And I know he's looking down on me. And I know he's looking down on Cruz. And it's just, yeah, so happy birthday, dad.

So talking about your dad for a second, how do you think your dad would act about Cruz? Oh, he would love him. He would love him. He would just, I know my dad couldn't wait to lie to kids. He wasn't sure if I was gonna have him, but he always used to say, if you ever do, you know, he's like, I can't wait to be a grandfather. And he's like, I know you're going to be a good dad. And yeah, I just think he would adore him. He would adore him

like it was me, you know, and I think he would love to spoil him. I think we would be in Florida constantly right now. Yeah, we'd be in Florida a lot right now if he was still around. So yeah, I think he would be the best granddad ever I think he would have absolutely loved him. I mean if he was anyway like you treated me Yeah, you would he would have a lot of fun Are you dealing with the house full of picky eaters mate hungry route the people placing solution to all of your grocery shopping and cooking stress I definitely live with two picky eaters you you and crews. Crews is a super picky right now. I'm trying to get him to eat all kinds of different things, but you know, he picks

and chooses what he wants just like his dad, who will eat a hot dog with no ketchup or mustard on it. I've never seen that in my life, but you two are so picky.

Let's get into it. Let's get into why we were in New York in the first place with the reunion. Okay. Watch party. Watch party. Everybody think of that reunion. That was definitely the craziest of all three parts. It was definitely the best to watch of all three. Can I ask you one question?

I didn't really, I'm gonna ask you. What did you think of the surprise? Now I called it. I knew what was gonna be. I was, I figured what it was gonna be. We both, everybody, I think for the most part, people figured that they had hooked up the entire time. I mean, we've kind of, we're already saying that.

Sheena was 100% right. If you guys remember on the podcast episode where we had Sheena and Brock on a couple episodes ago, they were talking about how when they were in Mexico that Rekel took her friend, Ginny, out of her room, said that it was because of production and that Sheena thought for sure they were hooking up there and it was 100% true. She finally admitted at the very end, Rekel did that it was was during the Hooked Up multiple

times in Mexico. So it's like everybody was calling it. Of course, this is after the fact everybody started, you know, picking up the pieces and noticing, but she didn't like called it spot on. And the coaching obviously has been going on because she can saw at the end the last five minutes of the reunion, when she said, we try to get our story straight. This is the part of the one in our story.

And I got to say, if we're going to talk about this, how people are kind of changing their views on Raquel right now. I'm sorry, Rachel right now. Where do you stand with Rachel right now? Where do you, are you starting to feel a little bit of? I, what I think is like, I just, I hope that she is getting help because at the end, I think it showed a different side that she finally came clean as she was crying and she was like showing her emotion that she did

kind of, you know, had more remorse. She was still doing that like smiley thing, but I think that it's very important to keep up on her mental health and like, you know, make sure that they're okay as well, even though, you know, they did do a terrible thing, but we kind of have to, I don't know, not that nobody's gonna be like reaching out or forgiving or anything right now, but any means it's not our place to do that in the first place. But I don't know. I just glad that she came forward and actually told the truth, even though she had obviously been coached to say something different.

I mean, Santa Vall just blatantly lied throughout the entire reunion. I almost feel like the reunion was just a squirre like it was a waste of time because they just lie the whole time. And then at the very end, Rekel finally, I'm so glad she finally came out and said the truth. Everybody knew that they were lying, but I'm glad I'm proud of her for coming out and at least telling that truth. They were still trying to lie about the Saint Louis. I know that he literally goes, we've never been to Saint Louis. They cut to a picture of them in Saint Louis. It's like, dude, there's stuff out there you cannot lie. The way the internet is, the social media, you cannot lie.

Yeah, so that's why I'm very glad that Raquel finally put on, you know, her big girl pants and told the truth because I think St. of all was just going to lie and lie and lie and never tell the truth. Never. I mean, it seemed like he was never going to tell. How do you think this happened? Said, so it said six days later, Rachel sits down to tell a story. Did somebody, do you think somebody from production said,

listen, we know you're full of shit? Probably because they had photos and stuff. I mean, we know how production works, but like they needed to get the truth out there because everybody just watched that whole reunion and they were just lying the whole time. And Santa Ball is the only one that's in her corner right now. So yeah, so she thought she was going to lose him.

Right. But she told the truth. So it's, that's sad. So she's really had been. She's really risking it all by kind of saying all this, which I'm glad she did say something. And I feel like there's still more. In fact, I know there's still. Oh, yeah, there has to be more.

Oh, yeah. But at least she like opened the door and started telling a little bit of the truth. And I thought Ariana just like killed it. I mean her the way she handled herself and like yeah people were kissing and people were digging and going in. You have to remember that's the first time they had been in the same room with Tom and Raquel. It was like two weeks later. All this time hadn't passed. I feel like everybody's judging them for like how hard they went in. But people don't realize this wasn't filmed just like two days ago. This was filmed weeks ago, whenever it was still brand new and they hadn't even been in the same room with each other.

So I think some people need to, you know, give a little bit of a break there because people are just such trolls on the internet on on all sides. Right. I think just the adrenaline was raising the buildup was there. Like they had so much, I mean, those girls were ready to go. They were ready to go. And I mean, some of the one-liners, the sufferer just hilarious. Like, Lala was cracking me up. Yeah, she was a little harsh.

She knows it, but still she was just cracking me up. James with his little poop-o-head. And so it's just cracking me up. What did you think about Rachel wanting the thropple or whatever you think about that? Like, I like I thought I mean that just shows you how disconnected from reality they were about this whole situation because obviously Ariana was not gonna have that she she said many times they were not in open relationship right it wasn't gonna happen now me and you we love sister

loves the show on to you see yeah it so funny. That is actually one of the shows that we like. It's like hilarious. But no, I could never see that happening. Like that's not, that's not going to happen. And I think that obviously it never should have gone to that point. Tom, Tom should have actually broken up or done something or can clean a long, long time ago. He also didn't have never even been a situation. He also didn't have any emotion until Lisa Vanderpum goes, you need to show emotion. So it's almost like, okay, remember to do that. Remember to cry on cue.

And I guess I said, I've known Tom for a long time. He knows how to cry on cue. You know, that was all an act. I don't feel sorry for that at all. And also because after this, even when I kind of remotely was kind of trying to say man, they're being attacked because I know what it's like to be attacked on a reunion, I get it. But then they go back into the back room and it's over and they just laugh. They're laughing and

giggling and being like, okay, well that wasn't bad. It's almost kind of like it didn't phase them out at all. So it's kind of like, you want to feel bad for them, but then they go in and just laugh it off. So it's kind of like they didn't have any emotion. It's almost that's a scary part. They were just laughing and they're like, she's like, okay, gotta go. You know, she wasn't crying at then. She wasn't sad. I don't know if it's because, again,

the adrenaline was going so high, but I have a hard time feeling bad for them when they just left the thing and then started laughing. Do you know what I'm saying? Like it's almost like they're loving this that it's all about this. Do you know what I'm saying? No, exactly.

Because that did show a different side, where they could sit there and laugh about it after all that just happened on the episode. How can you go back, say, to laugh? And you got to say, Ariana was 100% correct about sand-of-all coaching Rachel. You can tell at the end when she finally came clean. Like she literally said, this sand of all wanted to do this. Sand of all said, this is what I don't want this to come out. It'll hurt more.

Sand of all said this. Sand of all, I mean, she goes, we worked on the timelines. Like she literally came out verbatim and said, we worked on the timelines together. Yeah. So, I mean, it's just proof that she was right. And Gary, I honestly, even whenever she was dating him, that he would do that, he would try to be like,

let's get our stories right, let's do this, let's do that, you can't do that, you gotta be like, that's not gonna work. That's not gonna work. We put it all out there, the whole cast puts it all out there. You can't have your cake and eat it too. If you're gonna do this and live this world, which no one's putting a gun in your head, okay?

And you can't be like, oh well, we can do this, why we can't fill it? No one's putting a gun in your head. People would kill to be on a reality show. people would kill to be on a reality show. They would kill to be on a reality show. And you're given this opportunity and you're yelling at the producers, you're yelling at the cameraman, whose their job is to get that. That's their job.

So telling them off does you know good and you look stupid. Exactly. I will say on a funny note, she does expressions and like yelling moments in the camper were hilarious. Like there's so many memes of her right now that are going around. And just the fact that they still had to do that whole back and forth thing because the restraining order was just so crazy to me. But it was really funny seeing Sheena like just with her little white claw

and her long ass nails just being like screaming to the TV. That was really funny. Yeah, it was that was kind of humorous. I wonder if Rachel felt stupid about the restraining order during this whole thing, because they were kind of like, okay, Rachel, you need to leave because of the restraining order.

Like, no, she's kind of like, oh god, why did I do this? You kind of just added fuel to the fire. You know, it kind of made it silly. Do you think, where do you think it goes from here? Do you think Rachel comes back next season? I'm gonna say possibly yes. I'm gonna say that it's gonna be, I don't know,

it's gonna be talked about if she does, it may be minimal, but I'm gonna say that, yeah, she comes back minimally. What do you think? I think that she will come back because Bravo is 100% gonna want them back because this got so huge. Of course. So whether or not, but then again, like if she isn't a bad place mentally, like I don't

think that's a good idea either. So I don't really know what is going to happen there. And I think her parents have some say in this now from what I've been told. I don't know that for sure, but I heard that her parents are pulling her or are going to pull her or Something like along those lines. Oh, of course. I just think if it's like I said if it's gonna be bad for her mental health And if she really is going through all this they just need to watch out for that because you can only push somebody so far and going through All this publicly is just she's a tough one worse. She's a tough one to read

Yeah, I can't figure out if this is a game if this is a gimmick. She's really messed up. I can't figure out if this is a game, if this is a gimmick, if she's really messed up, I can't tell. I can't tell if, you know, I have my moments where I'm like, God, she's in India. But then you're like, maybe she's calculated this. You said this like, I said this all the time. I'm so good at reading people, especially on this show. I can read everybody. Yeah. Not figure her out. Yeah. You know, it's kind of like the same thing with Santa Volskron. Like, I hope people don't buy this because that's not real. Yeah.

I mean, he did have acting classes. So everybody needs to remember that. There's probably a lot of people that wish you to were on this season. What would the reunion have been like if you two were in the room? Oh gosh. Well, I know what I would be. I think Jack's would be going crazy and everything. I think I would be a little bit more silent because it's it would be Ari on his place more so and we would I think I would just be going crazy and everything. I think I would be a little bit more silent because it would be Ari on his place more so.

And I think I would just be kind of more like having her back kind of like how Katie and Sheenow are, you know. But I see Jack's exploding like a James and Lala. What do you think, Jacks? Yeah, I would have went after him. You know what I mean? I don't have a filter. I have a very short fuse.

And obviously, Sandeval has said a lot of things to me that has got under my skin. He's pretty much been a hypocrite about pretty much everything he's ever said about me. I mean, I think the proof is in the pudding. I really don't need to say anything. If you've watched the show since the beginning, you know that everything he said to me, he's done. He's a hypocrite, you know? And, you know, him going, I think he said, well, you know, you, you, you, you, you know that everything he said to me, he's done. He's a hypocrite, you know, and, you know, him going, I think he said, well, you know, you, Kristen cheated on me.

And well, you know, let's make it very clear when that all happened, he was cheating on Kristen at the time. I was not dating Stasi at all. So that is never, never happened. So you can't just keep, but that's, and that's his M.O. His M.O. is throwing the like word around. God, if you threw around that like word, but that's, and that's his M.O. His M.O. is throwing the like word around God. If he threw around that like word, one more time, I was going to lose it. I literally was going to lose it. And then he deflects. And then he says the word but he can't just say, you know what, I messed up whatever, he goes but, but, but, he can't just own it. And it's

still at the end of the reunion, the final reunion, he still had to lie, he couldn't just come clean. I can't tell you what it's like to just come clean to just come clean Get that weight off your shoulder. You had to admit and I you know, I always call you out. You did try to lie and hide things for a long time But eventually you would come out and like tell the truth always have and I think that that was I think that Sanvol was gonna try to take this to his grave and think that him and Raquel were just not going to tell anything. And that is just crazy to me. Like I don't know. I don't get what they thought was going to happen because this just went crazy.

MJ Sharon wants to know. Jax, you still have that Tom Tom and I tattoo? I actually do. I was talking about that the other day. If I was going to keep this tattoo, if I was going to remove it, I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do with it yet. Actually, I'm kind of actually going to be getting a tattoo within the next couple weeks. I definitely want to get my son's name on me somewhere, but that's great that

you asked that because literally I was thinking if I'm going to get rid of that, I don't know. I don't know. That was a moment in my life, a decade in my life. You know, it's not more really about him as a person. It was us as a group, I think. And I'm not sure. I might keep it. I don't know. I'm kind of on the fence about it. I think you should keep it just because it's like part of your history. I'm not keeping it because of Tom Sandevolpe first say. I'm keeping it because of that moment in time. And because it was on Vander Pimp rules, like that, you know, a lot of people don't get to experience being on reality TV and doing the things that we've got to do in our lives. So I don't know. I think it's

I think it's cool to keep like little mementos. Right. Right. For those of you that we've gotten to do, but for those of you don't know what we're talking about right now, I can't remember what season was, but I got a tattoo that says Tom Tom and I instead of getting my name because that's a curse for you. Yeah.

We don't know. So you got Tom and Tom, which is also a curse. I think that's a curse too. I think everybody's name is end up being cursed. I mean, like you think I would have learned first, second, third. I mean, yeah, getting names is a curse unless it's your kids. That's what I was getting. Yeah, which we're getting. I'm going to get a little something, something for Cruz too. Yeah. Because he's the best thing ever. So based on what you just said right there, you say people get into a relationship and

they post things all over their social media and there's pictures and then they break up. What do you all think about keeping that on your feed because it was a memento of your history versus taking it all down and trying to revise your history? I guess it depends on how you broke up or how you ended the relationship. You know, I've seen people delete stuff right up because maybe they were an abusive relationship or just a toxic relationship. Then I can understand deleting it. But if it was just a breakup

because things didn't work out, but we're still friends, yeah, keep it on there. I don't see a problem with that. But I guess it really depends on how the relationship ended. And yeah, I think that's basically my answer on that one. I think it's just basically how you feel about it. I, you know, I don't have, you know, I guess I do have pictures. Do I have pictures on my Instagram of any of Max's?

I don't know. I don't know. I haven't went back that far. Yeah, I haven't gone back that far. Yeah, I don't, like I said, it doesn't matter. Like you said, I don't think I have any pictures of my ex on my profile anymore. And probably because you would probably be the jealous one over anything like that, Jacks. Yeah, that again, I haven't dug down that deep of a rabbit hole on your Instagram.

I think I went through and deleted pictures like a long time ago because I had so many from like way a long time ago that were just ridiculous that I might have taken down. I guess this teaches on, you know, teaches on how to you don't want to have too many photos on your Instagram either for your like algorithms or whatever the hell is called in your, and your feed and your grid and all that stuff. You know, you break up as mutually, I can see leaving it out there, but if you're in a situation like Lala, no, yeah, Lala went immediately and deleted all the pictures of that roast man off our profile and not understand that 1000%.

You don't want to be reminded of that. Again, if you haven't seen the Randall scandal, you got to watch it so that you can learn a little bit more about this twerp. Little update on that still has not paid me back or returned any of my lawyers

emails. He is still the troll of the week. Everybody. And I got massive texts from poker players, from producers, from saying he owes everybody and their brother money. I'm, you know, they're all trying to get me my money.

But, you know, I feel like I'm very low on the totem pole when it comes to paying people back, which sucks. But, you know, I don't know what to do at this point. You know, you have my lawyer, I reach out to him. I don't know what to do. Yeah, people were definitely asking if you had gotten your money back. No, I'm not going to still, I'm still trying. I got people reaching out to me with stuff that he doesn't want online

He's got ex poker players saying hey, I got some stories for you. I know he doesn't want public here Here they are maybe send him to your lawyer that way you're maybe your lawyer can send to his lawyer and say hey Listen, he's gonna post this on social media if you don't pay, you know like I'm at that point right now where I have a bunch of stories in my phone from like I'm at that point right now where I have a bunch of stories in my phone from ex producers, writers, people he's done wrong, you know, he's gotten in to be even involved with mob, like people like, you know, big, big time poker players. We're talking multi-millionaires that he owes and it's all online and, you know, like I said, people were sending this stuff and I'm getting to the point where I'm going to have to post this on social media or take it to the LA Times or whatever,

because like I said, it's a lot of money and I'm not a corporation. I'm a family guy and that money means a lot to me. So. Yeah. So still troll the week. Yeah. He's going to be the troll the week until we get that money. So. Yeah. Goodness. Anyway, I have to help you with this. That would be great. Catherine 2114 wants to know thoughts on the t-shirt comment from you. And especially, Jacks, I know you are probably disgusted like us. Oh, yeah, that burned me up talking about whenever Tom said, what did he say? Oh, yeah, you kept your shirt on. That was real hot or real sexy.

I can't remember exactly what he said. But it was just absolutely disgusting. I can't believe that he would say that, especially because like so many women around the world, I know that they just felt that sort of a core because Sometimes you don't feel very sexy and maybe you want to have your shirt honored You feel insecure about something but like a man should never call that out and make you feel unattractive because of it Like that is absolutely disgusting

Especially on national television on national television to millions of people How it was. Just terrible. I mean, look how hot Ariana is. Who cares if she wears a freaking shirt, like, relax. You're sitting here cheating the whole entire time and you're gonna call her out for wearing a t-shirt. Oh, it was just disgusting. And then he says, how could we not lie about this?

Yeah, oh my gosh. So you got to say it. Just the, oh, it's just like, he's just not apologetic enough to Ariana at all whatsoever. And that just burns me a lot of without T-shirt comment. Even after everything he's done to say that on on national TV, and even just to say it at all was absolutely disgusting, right? Absolutely.

I don't know how you could say something. I mean, even if it was just that comment alone, that would urch me to the core. I just, just kind of like, it's alone, that would urqu me to the core. I just kind of like, it's like you twisted that, like keep your mouth shut. You don't have a leg to stand on right now. All you should be doing there is sitting there, apologizing and taking it. That's it.

That's it. You don't have to, what are we supposed to do? We were supposed to lie. What do you, you shouldn't be saying that. Yeah, that comment was bad too. Like of course we, of course we had to lie about it. Look at them, like how everybody was acting. people are making us out to be such liars Well, no shit you lie to the whole yeah, then you lied again

I feel like the entire reunion you had a chance to finally come clean To finally come eat and you lied again you wasted everybody's time on that reunion and then the last five minutes come out and Rachel goes well, I have some more truths to tell. It's kind of like Jesus, man. I mean, why couldn't you just do it during the read? Well, like, what is going on? It's like little bits at a time. How does anybody trust these people again?

Yeah, never. I don't think you can. Hopefully they can grow and learn from it. I want that for everybody, but geez, they dug themselves deep. All right, I think that's all for today. We've had so much fun here. We hope you guys loved our recap of this crazy reunion finale
