Lots. First of all, I don't know if you guys saw, but the new show was finally announced.
Starting point is 00:00:39 It's out. Yes, and we're so excited. You guys are going to love the new cast members that you don't know yet. You'll fall in love with them. They're amazing people We got to actually pick who we wanted to be on the show with us And I thought that was like absolutely amazing because what made better purple so good was the fact that everybody was real friends Just like our cast again that is one of the main reasons You know one of the main reasons why I was excited about doing this because when I went was approached with the show
Starting point is 00:01:04 I approached I actually came up with this idea believe it or not a couple years ago You know when everything was going on with COVID I'm just gonna get into a little bit how this all started so a couple years ago. I called one of the producers From Alex Baskin and I say hey, will you meet me at a hotel? I have an idea So we met at this hotel was a cold rainy night again two years ago And I say hey Alex listen, I think I'm ready to come back to TV. I think it's time. I think I've had enough time off.
Starting point is 00:01:30 I'm just, there's a lot going on with Britney and I's life. And I think there's a lot to be told. I think there's a lot of story there. People want to know what's going on. We kind of ended everything on Vanderpump when our wedding ended. And there's just everybody wants to know what's going on. So I go, what do you think? What do you think?
Starting point is 00:01:44 Do you think it's a good time for us to make a comeback? And he goes, I think it's a great idea. I think it's a great idea. And it was and it is and it's going to be epic. You guys are going to love it. Mind you, I had this idea two years ago. So this is how long it takes for a show to be in the works. It takes a very, very long time.
Starting point is 00:02:01 And people always say, doesn't this happen really fast? No, it doesn't. You have to have the idea that it has to go back to the network, then the network has to talk about it to other networks. It's a very, it's a very crazy machine, but I tell you what, it's finally here. And you know what, I just loved the promo that we did.
Starting point is 00:02:18 It was the cutest thing I've ever seen. I think it's the best promo to ever come out of Bravo if I say so myself. Like it was so good. Can we give them a little behind the scenes? Oh yeah, let me tell you. Okay. So.
Starting point is 00:02:29 I'm so excited about this because I'm sorry, I'm not cutting you off, but I'm just super excited about this because I grew up going to Universal Studios as a young child. And okay, I'll let you go. Yeah, you can. So I'm sorry, I'm just really excited.
Starting point is 00:02:40 So when we did this promo, Brittany and I really didn't know where we were going till very the last minute. We knew we had a car picking us up. We knew we were going to the studios, but when we get to Universal Studios, I mean Universal Studios is an iconic place. I went there growing up. I was literally filming that promo. Now I know you can't tell a lot of it because there's a lot of green screen going on, but I was filming the promo right next to the jaws event. Like, like right? We were JAWS event. Like, right? We were on the street,
Starting point is 00:03:06 well, it was a whole new green screen. It was an actual street. We were on the street. They were like a green screen at all. The houses going by are not exactly our houses. Those are summer houses. Now, when I'm on the car, those are our houses. So you can tell it's a little bit of a different.
Starting point is 00:03:19 Anyway, so the street that we filmed on was where they filmed Nightmare on Omstreet. The actual, the original movie, Nightmare on Om Street. The actual, the original movie Nightmare on Om Street. Yeah, we were one fake street away from the Desperate Housewives Street too, which I thought was awesome. Yes, so we were in between jaws and we were in between Nightmare on Om Street. We were filming on Nightmare on Om Street and then the street over was desperate housewives, where they filmed that. So just to give you an idea of how cool it was and how much faith they have in us on this show that they're like putting us at Universal Studios
Starting point is 00:03:49 for our program. And the Trams were going by and people could like see us moving down there. It was really cool. It was the coolest thing when the Trams go by and they're like all waving and they're like, oh my god, Jackson British. Let me tell my thing.
Starting point is 00:03:59 So we were filming like all day. We started glam at like 7 a.m. or something. So we've been doing like photo shoots and different things all day at the studios. Well, I had that one line that everybody has seen by now on the promo where I was like, Jack's stop messing around and go mo the yard. Well, everybody was staring at me and whenever I say everybody There was like a hundred people on set watching you do these things and I'm not an actor by any means, but said watching you do these things and I'm not an actor by any means but whenever I did it I kept my my line was supposed to be uh jacks hurry up and go mo the lawn and for some reason I don't know why I guess because the pressure
Starting point is 00:04:35 people staring at me I said four times in a row jacks what do I say jacks stop messing around and go uh, oh the yon So I I'm sorry, I'm sorry cruises joining us today joining us. So I said go mo the yon four times Four times in a freaking row. I was so embarrassed so they finally were like, do you just want to say yard and I was like I was like, please can I just say yard? She had the giggle. I had the giggles and I could not get the word lawn out. I don't know what happened. And mind you, behind the scenes, there was probably about 100 people
Starting point is 00:05:13 staring at me. Oh, so behind the scenes, I know you guys don't can't see this because on obviously the clip, you don't know what's going on behind the camera. So there was about what 100 people? Yeah, maybe more like just for all of us. And it was just again, getting back to the original part, the fact that they have so much faith in this whole project and they put so much time and money. And it just was like, I couldn't believe it.
Starting point is 00:05:32 It was just better than anything I've ever done, even on the Vanderbump days. Yes, it was like the coolest shoot ever. And we're so grateful. And I just can't wait for everybody to see it and get to know all the rest of the cast members. It's gonna be absolutely amazing. And we have heard so many times that the show is epic.
Starting point is 00:05:48 So I cannot wait till it comes out. It is epic. And by the way, guys, give these new cast members a chance. I know you're all are like, who are these randos, whatever, whatever. These are our friends. They are actual friends, just like Vanderpump rules. Nobody was casted on the show. These are people that we have in our lives on a daily basis.
Starting point is 00:06:04 And I feel like that is the only way to do a reality show. I think that's the only way it works is if you have true friends in your group because just casting people and saying, okay, Bobby, I need you to make out with this person. Yeah, it doesn't work. It doesn't work. And I will say I'm not going to do too many teasers because I don't want to get enjoyable, but there are definitely people from VaynerPump that will be stopping by on our show as well and vice versa. So, there's actually not just VaynerPump that will be stopping by on our show as well and vice versa.
Starting point is 00:06:25 So, we want them. Yeah, and there's also, there's actually not just VaynerPump, there's actually a couple other people that weren't in the teaser that are on the show as well. So, not everybody, you know, that's going to be on the show was in the teaser. So, keep that in mind as well. Yeah, Jasmine, Zach are also a part of it.
Starting point is 00:06:39 And yeah, so there'll be more things coming out. There'll be an actual trailer. I mean, I just can't wait. We, of course, we already filmed it months ago, but we are just so excited and so grateful. And I can't wait for you guys to see it. When reality hits is brought to you by Vegemore.

Some of them are checking the hotels. Some of them just checked into our house. We're super excited. We got a long weekend. This is all surprised to me. I had no idea this was going on. And not only that, what I also want to think to everybody came, this is your good friends.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Because I don't know if you guys know this or not, but the Detroit Lions made it to the second round of the playoffs. And as Detroiters, they are die hard football fans and they decided to leave Michigan to come to LA. So these are some good friends. So some of them will be flying, I think, during the game. Which I don't think they really knew that was going to happen,
Starting point is 00:10:23 but maybe some of them might change their flights and stay. Which is definitely changing out because my bar is the best for to watch the game You know like we're Michigan or so we have like jobs and responsibilities and we have to go to work on Monday I know but some of my friends do so Kristen is so excited to watch the game with all of us I know she was about to go to Michigan and try to get tickets for She was about to go to Michigan and try to get tickets for the actual day. And I was like, I was like, um, Jenny's in town. You're not going anywhere. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:49 I saw that. I was like, I was going to like, must have turned them like, hmm, she got, she got cruise a, um, Detroit line shirt and everything so that we could have all watched it up at Jackson. So we, my bar, Jackson studio city has now turned into the official, the official Detroit lines watch bar. We're so excited, obviously, for all the fans. But not only that, Jenny came in time. We are throwing her birthday party at Jackson's tomorrow night at 930.
Starting point is 00:11:12 And this is for the public. I found out on Instagram. I was actually at a spa day. I'm usually not on my phone that much because I'm usually at work. And I was like, took myself to the spa. My husband isn't even know I was there. So and I'm like in the salt room and I'm looking and I'm like, what the fuck is this? I was like, this is not real, this is not real.
Starting point is 00:11:27 No, I'm like, oh my God, here he goes, spoiling another surprise. I don't think he was supposed to send that to me and he like puts something online. I'm like, so I didn't even call my husband, I call my best friend, who also helped put this together. And I was like, Megan, is this real? Is this, does this, does this, I know this?
Starting point is 00:11:43 Cause I didn't want, if it was a surprise that he spoiled, I didn't want, you know, Patrick, to think he spoiled it. Yeah, Patrick is thinking he spoiled it because, you know, most of my life was the spoil. So, I'm not, no, we're kidding. We'll get into that. We'll get into that.
Starting point is 00:11:57 Yes. Yeah, so it was actually planned that we wanted to like post the flyer and you find out that way. Which was a really cool idea. Yeah, yeah, that was a, Jen or Patrick and Megan, they were that way. Which was a really cool idea. Yeah, that was a Patrick and Megan. They were like amazing. That was a great idea.
Starting point is 00:12:08 So, but yeah, we're so glad you're here. We're gonna have so much fun. But I think we need to hear what it was like being Jack's Taylor's little sister because AKA Jason Calci, because whatever, it's weird for me to call Jack's, Jack's in front of Jenny because she calls him Jason. So that's the whole thing. It's for me to call Jack's and for Najini because she calls him Jason.
Starting point is 00:12:25 So that's the whole thing. It's for me to say Jack's. Like I just feel like I just can't. I either say J or Jason. Yes. But she responds to both. So that's good. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:34 I respond to all three. Yeah. Do you know what I just remembered? I know you're a big podcaster and you love Heather McDonald. Oh my god. I just realized that I forgot to invite Heather to your birthday. Yeah. But I did put it on social media for everybody.
Starting point is 00:12:45 But I'm going to personally call her right after this. Because even my friends would be like Star Shruck because we have gone and seen her courtesy of you. We got like VIP passes. Yes. And we met her and hung out with her. We'll have to talk to her. Heather's awesome.
Starting point is 00:12:56 She's, I listened to her podcast. And I love that she is on so frequently because I love the morning toast too, but they take breaks and stuff too. But they're Claudia Asher, who I met before too. She was at her wedding. You're wedding, which was like, for me, is Star Shruck because I live the morning toast too, but they take breaks and stuff too, but they're Claudia Ashera, who I met before too. She was at our wedding. Yeah, you're wedding, which was like, for me, it's Star Shruck, because I live for podcast. I don't even hardly listen to the radio because I don't know any of the new songs, and I'm like an 80s fan, and whenever, and 90s, and my rap girl, right here, hip-hop.
Starting point is 00:13:17 Love me some, Nelly. What? Rho, Lidika, Lidika. Lidika. This is Mommy Engineer, which is maybe some bus arrives. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie.
Starting point is 00:13:28 I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie.
Starting point is 00:13:36 I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie.
Starting point is 00:13:44 I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. How do you have to watch? You're just watching because he is just, anyway, that's for another day. For another day. But yeah, back to the thing, I just need to know what it was like because as his wife, he still does some of these things that I can only imagine that you had to go there. I feel so sorry for you because he is one of a kind. And a lot of people don't get our humor
Starting point is 00:14:01 and our inside jokes, but luckily Brittany fit into the family quite well and can handle him. And like his humor and actually laughs at him when he's being like, we're dancing or like a stupid inside joke. Like she gets it. And we all like the same thing. So it's great. But I also feel very, very sorry for her, but I'm more than glad to pass the
Starting point is 00:14:20 torch on because for how many years of my life, like, you were 18 probably when you left? So I was 14, 15, even though I cried when you left, which is like so weird, but he bought me like, these super cool Adidas snap pants and I was like, oh my god, I'm never taking these off. My brother gave them to me. Even though he was like freaking evil to me, my whole entire life.
Starting point is 00:14:39 I need to hear some of these evil stories. What did he do? And I have to tell you guys, I have a very soft heart. I feel bad for everything. So I do too. He could be so mean to me and then look at me, and I forgot I'm in trouble,
Starting point is 00:14:53 and then I would feel bad. Why am I feeling bad? You literally just tortured me. And then, you know, when he told my ex-boyfriend. That's right. That's what he told my name. When he told me, I was like, why do you tell him he didn't care? He he would just laugh left in the corner at me.
Starting point is 00:15:07 And his relationship was so funny. Oh my god. And like the fact going back to when he could not keep a secret, he pretty much ruined every important milestone in my life. Oh my god. As far as when I first got my first car, my dad bought me a barada just like him. And somehow my brother called me and told me, hey, dad bought me a Beretta, just like him, and somehow my brother called me and told me, hey, dad bought you a car.
Starting point is 00:15:28 He's in the driveway, I don't think you're gonna like it, but it was only $500. That was a lot. He called me in a room and said, you're not gonna like your car. I was in even home. I wasn't even home. Like literally, I was gonna find out in about 10 minutes.
Starting point is 00:15:39 I was probably gonna find out. And then he, no, he had the spoil of the surprise. Yeah, yeah. And he had a red Beretta, and he like, you know, you drive us around. Yeah, we have the same first car. What's a burrata? Um, it's a hooptee, basically. It was a cool and his grade. But me, I was like, I am so embarrassed. There's no air conditioning. I worked at Abercrombie, which so did my brother. And I would, I would drive there and be sweating. And I'd call my dad crying because they're no air conditioning. And we're going to
Starting point is 00:16:03 get a kick out of work like this. Because it was like a big deal if you worked in Abercrombie. Like you had to be asked to work there. That's right. That's right. I was the very first shirtless model. And I would be the very first one. And then everyone had to ask me, he said, your brother, is that your brother?
Starting point is 00:16:17 No. No, I don't know him. How? Okay. I have a, oh, the little sister, like how did he, like you said that he would torture you and stuff. He would torture me.
Starting point is 00:16:29 He was not the cool older brother that everybody had. He would torture me. We would, like when we go to Florida, he would put gum in my hair. I would get in trouble. He would make up games called The Vine. He would lay there, have me walk over him, like acting like, okay, try to get past this quick stand.
Starting point is 00:16:46 And then he would, sizzle chop his legs and drop me on the floor. I thought he wanted to have fun with me, but I think he secretly hated me. Then he would take all my hair ties and say, let's play this game. And I'm gonna like shoot my hair ties at you, you'd need to like, dodge them.
Starting point is 00:16:59 Then I would get in trouble because I lost all my hair ties. So I would get in trouble. He also took my beautiful piggy bank that my grandpa had got me. It looked like, I loved all my hair ties. So I would get in trouble. He also took my beautiful piggy bank that my grandpa had got me. It looked like, I loved Lady in the tram. It looked like Lady. And he's like, let's get a knife and fork
Starting point is 00:17:11 and break it open and see how much is in there. You can keep all the copper ones and I'll take this paper and the silver ones because they're not worth anything. So, and then I literally had to hide it. I remember I had a double closet. I had to hide it in the middle of the closet because if my mom found out that I like cracked this thing I would get so much trouble But he took all the paper money everything
Starting point is 00:17:32 Not fair. He literally just like lot and said oh only the Copper ones are worth the money. That's the one you want put him back in there. It's more some money now. Yeah, no I also developed a phobia of spit I don't know what it is. Put him back in there. It's proper, it's worth the money now. Yeah, no. I also developed a phobia of spit because in my brother, it was a hockey player and I feel like he always smelled like hockey. I hated going to hockey with him because he had goli pads and our basement smelled and I have a weird thing with smells too.
Starting point is 00:17:59 And he would literally get pinned me down, drip his luggies down on these yellow luggies. Yellow. And he would think he could like suck them back up. And sometimes he did, but most of the time he did it and they would drip these smelly lugies in my face. We said you had a phobia at your people at work. Can you tell everybody what you do?
Starting point is 00:18:17 So I'm a surgical tech, I assist actors and surgeries. And a lot of time you have to intubate people. And when they take it out, I have to turn around because I cannot even fathom the idea of spit. Because I am like literally gagging. Everybody at work makes fun of me. And then I tell the story about how my brother did that. And yeah, that's what.
Starting point is 00:18:34 One time my neighbor spit on me, or no. Not like spit on me. I don't, it wasn't like trans spit on me, I don't think, but he was like on a balcony. I didn't land it on the arm. And it's in my arm. It smells. See? See? in my arm. It smells so good. See?
Starting point is 00:18:46 See? That was that. You make me gag. I have a little weird thing about spending, too, like nasty. No, yeah, it is nasty. Yeah, but yeah. I'm throwing up in my mouth and you just said you're disposed. Oh, you don't think your smell like roses?
Starting point is 00:19:00 Like no. It was. I did a lot of crazy things and a lot of bothers. He told on me for everything. I never told on him because he scared me. He scared me to tell on him. But one time he caught me and my girlfriends in the, what, one of my girlfriends in the bathroom when we took one of my mom and mom's cigarette and we smoked it.
Starting point is 00:19:16 He came in and he hates cigarettes. And I do too now, but, you know, I was trying it out. But then at dinner and time, like for a week straight, he was saying, smoking in the boys room and like, look at me and just start laughing. And like, my parents like, look and like, threaten me. Like, literally ate me alive every day. And I, no, actually, you just held in the door. He was holding it over head until I confessed that I did it. That's what it was. You didn't finish, you didn't tell me, I confess like, mom, I'm sorry I tried cigarettes, because my parents threatened us.
Starting point is 00:19:45 They said if they ever caught a smoking cigarettes, they were gonna sit us down at the dinner table and make us smoke a full pack of cigarettes in front of us, one after the other. Oh God, I can never, I don't think I've ever tried a cigarette. Yeah, they're nasty. Oh, I hate to see you.
Starting point is 00:19:57 I mean, it was cool at one point in life. So like, basically has tried one, but like I always got nauseous. I'm not gonna do this one. Yeah, mid 90s, or middle 80s. Yeah, I do this was in the mid 90s, mid 90s. Yeah, and it was like, yeah, he didn't because he was like, honestly, he was like, I'm not trying not to, I mean, but you were like a dorkier.
Starting point is 00:20:12 Like you were, you were bad. Like you got in a lot of trouble, but you weren't like, I had like a ton of friends and I like partied. So if I had a party and he came on, he would tell on me. He would literally tell on me, I asked him to buy me beer.
Starting point is 00:20:23 No, I'm not doing that for you. But yet, when he younger, he'd like, would wake me up out of a sleep and say, make sure I get out of the driveway okay. And him and his friend would go to fucking Taco Bell like, and then I had to like open my, I wasn't allowed to drive right away when I was 16. I think I had to wait six months. So my parents, I got my permit and everything like that. But my parents had a rule that you had to drive with them for six months before we got a license. But so during the night, I would sneak out of the house and go hang out with my friends. I'm like, you better not tell them of me. Yeah, no, you would make me, you would roll the car. I got to drive the drive away. I had to make sure the lights were gone and like wave to you out my window. Make sure you got out okay.

Starting point is 00:24:53 I'm enjoying this so much because as his wife, he still does. Yeah, he's like a child, not this sneaking out. We're rolling away in an outro van, but a lot of the secret. We want and the truth is when I, when he tells me something now, I just go to Brittany and say, this is true.
Starting point is 00:25:10 Like on the side. Hey, you're going to get the real deal with me. No, yeah, I for sure. By the way, I had a lot of friends with my senior. I mean, you did your senior year because you beefed up and started taking creatine because you was really skinny and scrawny. You blake, bloomer. I was taller than you at one point. I was like a girl. I was like that movie. and scrawny. You blight, bloomer. I was taller than you at one point.
Starting point is 00:25:25 I was like a girl. I was like that movie. Was it can't hardly wait? Maybe, yeah, maybe. I don't remember. But whatever one became cool in my senior year, yeah, because I started working out. And that's why I think you were so mean.
Starting point is 00:25:35 Because even at the bus stop, remember you had everybody singing that song? What was it? Jenny's got a gun. Well, no. That was the worst. And everybody, and he was Jenny's got a gun. Now you better run, run away.
Starting point is 00:25:47 So everybody would run away from me at the, at the, yes. Everybody would run away from me at the, nobody wanted to be my friend. And I was, I was so made normally tall. Like I shot up super fast. And so like I was already paranoid about that. Like, oh my god, I'm so tall. Like, yeah, I'm, I was in my mind.
Starting point is 00:26:02 Well, I even told Jackson a million times, like I'm glad that I met him whenever I did because I would not have been attracted to him whenever he was like, yeah, I'm. Oh my goodness. Well, I even told Jackson a million times, like, I'm glad that I met him whenever I did, because I would not have been attracted to him whenever he was like, he was so skinny and little. Oh, he was so scrum. So he started seeing Christine, and then he started wearing his chain necklace and thought he was cool, you know?
Starting point is 00:26:16 Then I started modeling my senior year, too. Yeah, I did. I just started modeling too. And that was, it was kind of like a catch 22 a little bit, because it was a little bittersweet. I mean, because it was fun, but it was also a man bit because it was a little bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit and try to get us to be models and stuff. Oh, I know. Yeah. I did many modeling appearances. Oh, yeah. My mom took me all over the place.
Starting point is 00:26:47 That's why he's doing the ever coming thing, right? But in here in high school, yeah. My first modeling job was came art. I think it was came art was my first first job. And then I was realizing, like, change his name and I was like, what? Yeah. Oh my gosh, how do you feel that he goes by Jack's Taylor?
Starting point is 00:27:03 At first, I was just like, this is weird. Where did you be first? Where did you come up with this name? I mean, I know Taylor is my mom's made a name and it was our dog's name that he told me, um, didn't just run away that I got hit by a car. When my parents told me it just ran away. But, um, so then he used that. I was just like, oh my god, I can't call you that. I sometimes I do, but every time it comes out, it just doesn't sound right. Which is completely normal. I go by J or Jason, which is fine,
Starting point is 00:27:29 and like Brittany's fine with it, so it's cool. You know, like she understands what I'm saying. Like, you know. The only reason I call him Jackson is because, that's how you met her, yeah. To me, as in, yeah, whatever I met him in Vegas, that's what he told me his name was. So for me, it would be weird to start calling him
Starting point is 00:27:43 Jason all of a sudden. And the only Jackson at that point was checks in general hospital. Is that where you got it? No, I can't remember. It was. I don't know. Super popular that name. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:53 You know, all I did was remove an S from an S. From an end to a no. That's true. It's so similar. And it was I think I think the girlfriend that I was dating at the time kind of helped with it. And this is like I said, and this was in 2000. You're back with Ford models. Yeah, this is when I was a Ford model. Yeah, yeah, it was it was it was just everybody changed the name. It was just me. I mean, go look at Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt. That's not their real names. Yeah, so everybody did it. And by the way, I
Starting point is 00:28:18 Nothing against my name. You don't have to stick up for yourself. I can't. Well, I can't, you know, it's it wasn't that I'm proud of my name Jason Calchi But for the entertainment industry it just didn't flow like so it is a weird last name. It is not a weird it's multi Well, no, it's actually pronounced Kauki not Kauchi. I learned when I went to Malta. Yeah Jenny went to Malta Wait, are we supposed to say Kauki? It's Kauki. Okay, well people say no more say I like Kauki's better But that's yeah, it's Kauki isn't people say, no, we're saying Kalki is better. But that's, yeah, it's Kalki.
Starting point is 00:28:46 Isn't it crazy? Yeah, we're not doing that. No. We're not doing that. Do we have any more things to say negatively about Jack Taylor? Honey, it's just because she's your next year. And it's just funny to talk about the way you were as a brother. Yeah, and like, yeah, that's how it is.
Starting point is 00:29:01 You woke me up early on Christmas. And even though I didn't want to get up, made me go through my stocking, made me go try to wake up parents up. So I'd get yelled at, he'd send me down the hallway. But that's a life of a little sister. And then my husband has to pay for it now because I'm constantly scared
Starting point is 00:29:16 because even riding bikes, he would try to run me over. I think he wanted something fun. Let's go for a bike ride. Oh, you want to hang out with me? Because he was like, the older brother. Let me ask you this, just to change something a little bit. What do you think about the valley? Are you excited about it? Yeah, I'm excited for you. I'm excited for Brittany and I. How do you feel? I'm always excited for you guys. I think you guys are
Starting point is 00:29:32 great. You making a appearance on it. I do make an appearance on it. Yeah. We have a nice little heart to heart. Yeah. She came to the bar and mind you, my brother and I were not always close. You know, we've had our times where we probably haven't talked for like a year or anything like that. But, you know, you grow up and now we text like almost every day. So, yeah. And Jenny, Jenny, what in Patrick, her husband's name is Patrick. Jenny and Patrick were monumental to helping us get the bar open and Tom for like the
Starting point is 00:29:58 finale for the Valley. Like, I could not have done that succulent wall without Jenny. We went to Home Depot a million times. We separated me and Jenny, went and did our thing with the flowers and the trees, the guys went and did their, well Patrick went and did the construction stuff. Well, Jack's walked around and circles on his phone.
Starting point is 00:30:15 But it was easier that way because thanks to get a little frustrating and me and Jenny just had a blast because it was fun. We got to go to some random places to find different succulents I'm so appreciative you guys and it's like it means a lot to me that you guys were a part of my I didn't know we were gonna be that big of a part which was awesome too, you know like it was so fun Yeah, we had to get that bar set up really really quick for for many different reasons But we're just so thankful that you guys were there
Starting point is 00:30:41 I would not have my my special frame It wasn't for Patrick putting that up and it's an iconic piece when you come into the bar. If you guys do ever come to the bar, it says just one more in that frame was put together by Patrick and he did an amazing job. And obviously, Jenny and Brittany did an amazing job on the second one, so when you come in and see it, make sure you take your picture.
Starting point is 00:30:58 It was a lot of work. We hear a lot up and down. And yeah, it was like all over the place. And then we got all those birds of paradise. Oh yeah. I mean, we did, we did, we did, we saw how many birds the one day. Yeah, we were back and forth.
Starting point is 00:31:11 And we loaded the trucks, we loaded everything by ourselves. I've heard, yeah, we did everything. We were strong as we were. And we got it done. And I would not have been able to do without you. So I love you. And we had no idea what we were doing.
Starting point is 00:31:23 So we just envisioned, just we just envisioned just a vision. Pinterest. Just an Instagram screen shots of what I wanted to look like. No, do this. But it was awesome. And we're so grateful for you guys. OK, so Jenny, I want to know what it was like for you when Jackson became like a reality TV star,
Starting point is 00:31:42 like in the very, very beginning days of interpop roles. Yeah, so, um, I for sure did not believe it. Like, obviously I've known my brother, you know, went in and out of things and traveling for modeling and doing this. And I know I'm going to be in this and I'm going to be in that. And then I would like wait till it came out until I believed it. But, um, when he did first tell me about the show we were in Florida, where at my parents' house, and we were on the line. And this is when you were dating Stacy, Stacy, Stasi. They told us they were going to be on a show,
Starting point is 00:32:09 and I was like, OK, I believe it when I see it. But the fact that he had a girlfriend with him telling him that, I was like, OK, maybe this is real. So then when it finally came out, I started watching it. And I was sad because obviously I had built a relationship with Stasi at that point. And they were breaking up, and it was tumultuous and like pretty much every girlfriend has called me when something bad happens in my brother's life.
Starting point is 00:32:30 And like, whether I know them or not, like I would do. Yeah, but like it's different. I mean, obviously I love Bernie, but there would be these randoms. And I'm like, who is calling me now? And I would have to talk to him off the ledge. And I'm like, oh my God. It was, it's a tough industry to be in. I don't know if you people have never been out to California.
Starting point is 00:32:45 Like you get promised the world, there's so many let downs. Like 95% of living in LA is rejection. It's rejection and you get so excited, you get so close and you don't wanna say too much and you're like, you get a job and you're like, okay, you got the job. And then the next day they'll call you,
Starting point is 00:32:58 like, oh, they released your role, they released your role. I had the type of personality, where someone told me I got something, I'm like, oh my God, I can't wait to call my mom and dad and my family, I got this. And then they would call and change their mind. And I, I never just, I could never keep my mouth shut about it. I couldn't just keep it in because I was always so excited and it's so hard to get projects out here.
Starting point is 00:33:12 So, you know, yeah, I would always jump the gun and tell my family things. And the next thing you know, like, oh my God, they released you from this. You're like, Jesus, I just told everybody and it was awful. Yeah, but at least this one took off. And it was amazing. And, you know, I would watch it. And then there was a point where I'm like, okay I can't watch this anymore because I don't want to watch my brother doing this or that or whatever
Starting point is 00:33:28 I this is too much for a sister to know and then it was catch the point where I was like, you know, then The public gets involved and they start trashing because obviously you were a villain. Yeah, and so Then you know, I know he's a villain in my heart sometimes But I also know my brother at a different side, and I don't, and anybody else that wants to talk shit about my brother, it's a little harder, I can talk all the shit I want because I know him, but I feel the same way, girl.
Starting point is 00:33:53 Yeah, you get super defensive, and I cannot deal with that. No, I know it doesn't bother you, but I don't have a thick skin. Me and Jay will have a lot of the same kind of personalities where we overthink a lot, and we are more like sentimental emotion. Yeah, we get emotionally invested in these things.
Starting point is 00:34:08 Yes, exactly. That being said, what did you think of House of villains? Were you, when you watched it, did you think I was treated okay on the show? Oh, House of villains actually loved that. Like, because I was excited to see you in a different role and like, you know, I was like, I told me about it. I'm the part of my heart, I might sleep on that.
Starting point is 00:34:22 No, you did. You were honest. You were like that odd man out, because everyone else had been on this kind of show and you were like, so it was really fun to watch. They wanted me out before I walked in the door. Yeah, but you were trying to make like bodies and fries and you were like, really like investing in people.
Starting point is 00:34:37 Like, hey, this is my story. I like you, like not building alliances, not whatever, which was good though. I think that was great for you. You were like, I played it all wrong, but no, you are being you. Well, everybody told me before I got on this show, and my manager's my friend's,
Starting point is 00:34:50 Jack's, this is not a docu-series, this is not what you're normally used to, you did do your homework, you need to watch real world, you need to watch the challenge, you need to watch big brother. They build alliances and all this, and I'm like, yeah, but you're used to just like speaking your mind, doing what you want,
Starting point is 00:35:02 opening your mouth, and that's why people love you, you know, like, that's why you're successful. Yeah, or hate you. But it makes for good TV. And so like, this was a different side of you. Like, you felt for you. And then like, when what's her name, I don't remember, called you that thing.
Starting point is 00:35:14 I was like, oh my god, I just heard it in just a minute. And it's, and like, I was like, I thought she was talking to Karin because they had showed them like an argument earlier that day. And then I realized she was talking to Jacks. And I was like, what did you do that we didn't see? And I had such a hard to heart with her in the beginning
Starting point is 00:35:29 and we had such a good time. And that even- You got maxed out and you're not used to that. I know. And then I went to the premiere party and I was there and I was like, oh, hey, Jacks, how are you? And I was like, you know, I did, she goes, that's just my character.
Starting point is 00:35:41 And I'm just, I'm not familiar with New York that was a little bit before my time, before my reality time. I love New York. I loved her on What was the show that she was on? I love that and before Jack's went on the House of villains. I was like, I hope New York is on there I hope Tiffany's on there. Yeah, and turned out she was so she was the only person that I guess that was on there and I At the end of the day, it's a game. Yeah, it is a up. Yeah, no, it is a game, but you were going in there. I mean, I obviously people told you,
Starting point is 00:36:06 but like, that was not your mindset. You were there to like, have fun, and be in a hurry. Yeah, I was not going to build my mind. But I enjoyed seeing that side of you. I think like, you were upset about it, but I thought it was a great thing. I don't know if you did, Brittany, but like, to me, I was like, oh, see, they could see the softer side.
Starting point is 00:36:20 I'm like, you actually get to feel bad for you, because you are a human being that like has feelings. But yeah, so I really liked you on that show. I and everybody I told the watch, which a lot of people, they were like so bummed to see you go. Like, you go, what did he go? And I'm like, well, I think he's going to be me. I mean, I'm still got paid.
Starting point is 00:36:35 Oh my God. And he got back on to see you like because you were a good competitor. I mean, obviously you have a competitive nature. Yeah, but. You know, this goes to one of the questions that people were asking me, Jack, do you plan on going to other shows, such as Traders or Summer House or Winter House? And that being said, yes, I'm open to all those shows.
Starting point is 00:36:52 Now that we're kind of doing cross-overs, I've noticed a lot of people doing cross-overs on these shows. Yeah, I'm down for it all. So definitely nothing is out of the books. I think for Brittany, it goes that goes for you too. That if you're asked to go into these shows, you would do them as well, yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:04 I mean, yeah, I think it'd be a fun experience. I mean, I could never even imagine I'd be living in LA and let alone doing all these shows and stuff, you know? Sure. I think it's all, I'm going to take everything as it comes my way, you know? And then all the experiences you do, you're like, nothing faces Brittany.
Starting point is 00:37:18 It's just like, okay, yeah, she's always in good mood. And that's why it's so great to be around her. Oh, thank you. She'll put you in a good mood, even if you're not. Oh not. Oh yeah. I think yeah me and Jenny have gone along from the start. Whenever you first met me, did you think that me and Jackson would like get end up getting married and stuff? Be real. I was a little nervous because obviously I've met a couple of girlfriends of my brothers and like you never know what you're gonna get. So, but my dad had met Brittany first.
Starting point is 00:37:46 And like I was like, what is she like? And I was going to meet them in Florida. So, and he was like, you're gonna love her. I still had that text message. So, I knew if my dad, okay, we were pretty honest with each other. I was like, okay, I was excited to meet her. I know, I think we got along from the start.
Starting point is 00:38:00 And like, we talked about a R&B in hip hop. Oh yeah, we just about a R&B and hip hop. Oh, yeah. We just shared a lot of R&B and hip hop. Um, we'll just leave it there. Nelly, you know, all those, we have been to Nelly for like first row. It wasn't me. It's TLC. Yeah, we always have a good time. We're together.
Starting point is 00:38:16 So that's the best part. Yeah. I love making you know, so glad that I was super happy. And like the way that you guys got along and you like the same things you laugh at our stupid humor, because not even my husband, like does not get our humor. And he'll be like, he'll say like part of my language,
Starting point is 00:38:30 you're just jacks with tits. And I'm like, no, I'm not, because it's like, he always says that. But like, because we, he always says it's like you're ever after I leave, I just realized I'm married with jacks with tits. So now I was like, okay, because we have a very weird,
Starting point is 00:38:47 a lot of inside jokes and a lot of humor. But like, and we, like even the stupid songs that we sing to Brittney, and then she laughs. And then me and Jason laughs even louder, because other people are laughing at our humor. What? And then we have such a weird humor, Jenny and I, and we're very nostalgic. And then we just, we like a lot of certain things
Starting point is 00:39:00 that nobody else gets because we get, or for my childhood. We just, we bring up a lot of stuff from our childhood. When the Jenny and I text, we usually just, nobody would, you can't decrypt. Is that the word I'm using? Encrypt, decrypt. If you were to look at my text right with Jenny,
Starting point is 00:39:12 people were like, what are they talking about? It'll be some random quote. It's basically random quotes from our childhood. And that's basically how we communicate. And that's why when she says we talk every day, we do because I'll just give her, I'll throw a random quote that come into my head. And she'll throw a random quote.
Starting point is 00:39:26 And it's just funny. That's how we do everything. We told Brittany that our mom used to feed us the hot dog flavored water. And it was like the longest going joke. And she was like, uh-uh, like she didn't believe. And we told Patrick too. Like we would, we like,
Starting point is 00:39:36 I'll just start it and he'll just finish it. And we're like, yeah. And then they'll like act like it's a real true story. And we're like, don't make fun of us. Yeah, it's like, it's not our us. Yeah, it's not our fault. Yeah, it's not our fault. We'd be like, are you gonna feed Cruz that? And she'll be like, no, Jenny, I am not doing that.
Starting point is 00:39:51 Cruz is not getting boiled hot dog water. And somebody might not think that's funny, but we did it. I think we're doing a for shot for a shot. I think we are doing a for shot. Again, reminding everybody, it is Jenny's 40th birthday today. We we're going we're going tonight. We got trivia at Jackson tonight.
