I'm so excited to talk about everything with you, especially all things baby. Oh babies. That's the only thing on my mind. That's the only thing on Kristen's mind. It's the only thing on my mind. That's the only thing on Kristen's mind
Starting point is 00:01:05 It's the only thing not the only thing we get to talk about but it's the majority of it I would think you guys are like almost a month away from your due date pretty much We're hoping she comes sooner than that. Oh my gosh. I could not wait to meet her. She's gonna be so cute I can't wait. What are you the most? excited about Becoming a father? Oh man, honestly, it'll be the age that you know, when the baby becomes more durable, we'll put it that way. I want to strap her on me and take her like on the golf course, take her, you know, to the lake to the ocean. I want to go fishing with her. I'm going to do all the things I
Starting point is 00:01:43 would do boy or girl, whatever. And I told Kristin this from the beginning. Boy or girl, I don't care because I'm going to introduce them to the same things. Whatever sticks is whatever sticks. You're a country boy like me. I'm a country girl. So I'm sure you're going to want to show her a lot of things that you grew up doing. Exactly. Like fishing. I did grow up hunting. That's something that's kind of like, I guess a taboo topic between Kristin and I but See, I grew up country, but I would I couldn't hunt. To each their own. My family does, my brothers, my dad, everybody You know, they they do that but that wasn't something I could ever do. Well, it's you know, as I've told Kristin, it's hunting for conservation as in like I don't go I don't have trophies
Starting point is 00:02:24 I have no taxidermy. Yeah, it's not like conservation as in like I don't go, I don't have trophies. I have no taxidermy. Yeah, it's not like that. Yeah. I hunt for the freezer. I also believe it is like the cleanest meat you can eat on top of, I don't know, I'm just, I like to grow a garden. I'm that kind of like whole food kind of person. Do you have a garden right now?
Starting point is 00:02:38 We don't. I was gonna say, where's that garden? I don't think I saw it in your house. We don't have very much sun, unfortunately. Big trees our whole front yards all shaded like all day long our backyard is shaded like we get maybe three hours So yeah, that's it. But the privacy is amazing It's very you know, like my backyard is very private too Like I think that that means the world like I'll take not having as much Sun Right for a little bit to be able to like be out my backyard do whenever I want
Starting point is 00:03:06 You also understand more than about anyone else in our friend group that privacy can come with acreage too. Oh, yeah space You don't need these walls to keep you these walls of plants to keep you private from your neighbors that are right on top Of you. Yeah, you have 20 acres exactly. Yeah, that's why I move into the valley was like Such a good move because I actually have a yard. Oh, you have a great yard and there was like nothing We had no grass or anything I mean, we always lived in apartment buildings, of course But like right in the middle of West Hollywood even like walking your dogs down the streets and stuff Like there was hardly any grass anywhere and that was so different for me coming from like a farm a straight-up farm
Starting point is 00:03:43 500 acre farm, a straight up farm, 500 acre farm. Right, exactly. It's like concrete jungle. Yes. What's so funny, that reminded me, Zach and I were walking from his apartment to a bar and he reached up and touched a tree. He goes, that's as much nature as I like. Zach cracks me up. He doesn't care for grass.
Starting point is 00:03:58 No. He doesn't care about nature. Well, the difference, even though Zach and I are both from Kentucky, I grew up on a farm in Winchester, Kentucky, which is not a huge city. He grew up in Louisville, Kentucky. Right. So that's a big difference. You know, it's a big city. It's right at the top of Kentucky. I grew up like right in the heart of Kentucky, like country girl, land, all the stuff. But I would not change it for anything because I love going home and having that time. It really brings me back down to earth whenever I get there. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:04:30 It relaxes me. Take your feet off and walk or take your feet off. Take your shoes off. Take your shoes off and walk in the grass. Just the smell of fresh cut grass is one of the greatest things to go back during summer months. I grew up in a neighborhood, but my dad had this very back corner property of the whole neighborhood and he has 15 acres now. Oh, wow. He's bought these other lots to close in his back corner.
Starting point is 00:04:55 That's amazing. It's incredible. He lived in a neighborhood with an HOA and we have lakes, tennis courts, pools, that sort of thing. Oh my gosh, I don't need to come to your house. Oh, it's awesome. Honestly, I think he would love it if I bought it for him. Oh, wow. Is that something you would want to do? Kristen said absolutely not.
Starting point is 00:05:11 It's too much house. Listen, I don't want my girl to leave me. So I know you don't think you're going to stay here all the time. But I, like Kristen, moving away and me still being in LA would be so strange. And also, I'm going to be obsessed with your baby girl. Well, Brittany, let me tell you what. I think the only place we might be able to convince you to come with us is Nashville. Oh, I love Nashville. If our show life is over and all that stuff, I might be fine with
Starting point is 00:05:37 that. That's only a four hour drive from my hometown. So like I can see my friends and it's still fun. Five hours from my hometown. Like my family can come down in it for a weekend trip and said it You know coming to LA is a big deal. Oh my gosh. Okay, Kristen's over They're watching cruise for us so that we could do it but Kristen. I might be down to move to Nashville in the future She's excited about that thought Okay, so I know what you're excited about being a father. What are you most worried about becoming a new father? Honestly, I'm worried about the teenage years.
Starting point is 00:06:09 Teenage years? Oh gosh, I can't even think about it. And Cruz is four. I mean, more than anything, just having a teenage daughter. I grew up with sisters, right? And I hear horror stories from some of my friends that got started a lot earlier than I did. You know, when they start dating boys is like, that's where my mind goes any kind of fear.
Starting point is 00:06:26 Dating boys. Are you going to be the dad with the shotgun? Oh, I'll be cleaning my guns the first time he comes over. I can imagine it. Be a man of few words. The fewer the words, the more intimidating you are. You don't need to like give him this big speech and scare him and have your big muscly boys over.
Starting point is 00:06:41 All you have to do is not say much and be cleaning your guns. Oh my gosh. Yeah. I've always heard the teenage years for the girls are a little bit more brutal than they are for the boys. I can see that. Because girls go through a lot more, like obviously there's a lot of changes in male and female, but the girls have to go through like a lot more and they're just like stressed out and everything else, you know of course and that's like the also the time that has my opinion the biggest double standard Boys and girls as far as like, you know boys go be free do what you want Like pursue this and that and it's like girls know you need to follow these rules So you don't screw yourself up or make these bad decisions. That's what I think
Starting point is 00:07:21 It's like that line that's gonna be very difficult to navigate Yeah, I'm afraid of that because I want to try to avoid these double standards, but at the same time, like still kind of steer in the right direction. Right. I think Kristen will be really good to help you with that. Like you guys will be a good team. You know, because you guys are very different in a lot of ways. Definitely. And that will be like great for your, your daughter and your kids kids if you guys end up having more because She's gonna be able to learn different things from both of you, you know Oh my gosh, it's happening so soon
Starting point is 00:07:56 So soon, I mean so soon. It's I we're ready. We're ready for that baby to be here. I know Kristen's ready I'm ready for her not to be pregnant. Oh We're ready for that baby to be here. I know Kristen's ready. I'm ready for her not to be pregnant as well. Oh my gosh. Okay. You're ready for her not to be pregnant anymore. What would, from your perspective, what would you think is the hardest thing on Kristen
Starting point is 00:08:15 during her pregnancy? It has shifted. You know, I've said this before, but I didn't understand why they've broken into trimesters to begin with. And now I get it. I see the breakdown of like, this is first trimester Kristen. This is second trimester Kristen This is third trimester. I also tell me how she's been in your eyes throughout these trimesters So first trimester was all hormones all emotions up and down
Starting point is 00:08:38 Yeah, and angry at things for no reason also then just breaking down crying for no reason Yeah And just like dealing with like trying to figure out how to be there for her when there's a lot of times I can't even do anything. Yeah, and just accepting that Second trimester was for the most part great. Yeah, third trimester. It's just physical pain physical pain She is carrying this extra weight Sometimes I'll come up behind her when she's like I hear her grunt or something and I just grab her belly and lift it Up and she's like, ah, thank you She needs to try one of those belly bands or has she been I bought her one
Starting point is 00:09:09 Oh, is she using it the day before the reunion? I overnighted it for yeah to have at the reunion Oh, yeah Cuz I remember you brought in the little duffel bag and it had that it that was so sweet Yep, and she does not use it enough and she'll say the same thing Kristen We're calling you out. Calling you out about the baby band. The baby band. The belly band, sorry.
Starting point is 00:09:29 Belly band. She's had a lot of rib pain. It's too much. I mean, I don't get it. I do get that the ribs expand, but like the amount of sharp pain in certain spots. I didn't have that at all. Like not even a little bit. I don't know anyone else that has talked about them having that.
Starting point is 00:09:48 I've heard of other women having rib pain for sure. I just didn't experience it myself, you know? So I cannot imagine what that feels like. It seems like it's really sharp. Like she said, you know, she got cold and when she'd cough, every cough was like bring her to tears. Yeah. I noticed that even whenever we were like in glam for the reunion, if when she'd cough, every cough was like bring her to tears. Yeah. I noticed that even whenever we were in glam for the reunion, if she had a cough, she would just be like, oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:10:11 I could tell it hurt her so bad. Yeah. And that breaks my heart. But guess what? It's worth it. And I swear, after you have your baby, I was sick my entire pregnancy, all the time, all the way up to eight and a half months. I guess God was like, we gonna give her a break or Cruz was like I will give her a break for the last
Starting point is 00:10:27 Like month of her pregnancy, but it's just like you forget all that after you have the baby Like I forget what it felt like cuz it's just it's so worth it I mean, you know, I can't I mean I don't know cuz I can't experience. Yeah I'll tell you right now. I'm telling Kristen I'm knocking her up three four months after Yeah, oh my god, I love it well Brittany would you do you want another one eventually um So I always wanted more kids You know especially like season one of the valley like you could tell that like that was like my goal is I was wanting to Get pregnant of course in one of the valley, like you could tell that like that was like my goal is I was wanting to get pregnant. Of course.
Starting point is 00:11:05 And it's because I've always wanted like three kids. I have three brothers and one sister. So I grew up in a big family, lots of cousins, lots of aunts and uncles. Like it's just, that's what was normal to me. So I really want to cruise to have a sibling, even though it's a blessing in disguise now because everything that's going on in my life, you know, I don't like that would probably made it even worse because it's true. Like babies don't fix things, you know, that and a lot of people think that.
Starting point is 00:11:33 Complicated. Yeah. And I just, I'm not putting it off. I'm 36. So I still have meaning like I'm not saying it's something I don't want ever, but it's not something that I would be like, if I don't have another kid, I would be devastated. You know what I mean? Like if God takes me there and I've fallen in love with somebody and want to do that with them, then amazing. I would try and that would be great because I would love for Cruz to have a sibling, but
Starting point is 00:12:02 I'm not going to be like super sad or disappointed if I don't. I got you. Yeah. If the right man comes along. Yeah. If God intends then. I can't even imagine being in like a full blown relationship with somebody again. But I guess everybody says that whenever they go through a big breakup. I don't know if I'd say everybody because well, we can't go there, but there are some people that get out of a big breakup with I don't know if I'd say everybody because well we can't go there but there are some people that get out of a big breakup with a kid involved and are immediately in another relationship. Really? Oh yeah I mean but if that makes you happier you know what I mean? Of course
Starting point is 00:12:38 no I get it. Yeah yeah. You can't imagine it and I'm like yeah no that's true though because I'm just like not in that like headspace I feel like right, you know, like I would love to date somebody and I think it would make everything I'm going through easier But then in like am I gonna load stuff onto somebody? You know what I mean? Like I still have a lot of healing to do Yeah, so I'm like very back and forth. I think that's very smart. Yeah. Yeah, I've always known you got a good head on your shoulders Thank you. I'm having fun though. So That's what matters. Enjoying life and just trying to be positive about everything. So earlier, whenever you and Kristen came in, we were talking there for a second about Cruz's potty training.
Starting point is 00:13:19 And you know, I think it's so funny because he'll just like sit on his little potty and like sometimes I'll give him his iPad so he can like sit there for a minute. It's just like the cutest thing ever. Like he's like a man on his phone in the bathroom. Why do men, it led me to ask this question, why do men take so long in the bathroom? To be honest, it's like your private time. Oh, gosh! You go in there, you lock the door and guess what?
Starting point is 00:13:44 No one can like open the door you, ask you to do something. It's like you get to sit there, be at peace, take care of your business. You know what? Sometimes it does take a little longer. You just stay in there though, like on your phone or just trying to get away from everyone else for a minute. Is that what it is? Not entirely.
Starting point is 00:14:02 Sometimes it is like, you know, there might be more. You know, you kind of hang out. It's like that's part of the thought. And it's also the justification to hang out for another 10 minutes. Oh my gosh. I love it. It just seems like every guy that we've been around, like the bathroom times are like, you're in there for like 30 minutes. Kristen claims that. I think, well, she's like two minutes and I'm like, that's never gonna happen. But like 10 to 15 minutes, yeah, maybe it's a little bit more than necessary. Yeah. I'm like, you're sitting in there on your phone trying to get away from me is what it feels like.
Starting point is 00:14:35 It's just peace. It's pure peace. And I don't care what anyone says, it feels good to go number two. It is what it is. Oh my God. I love it.

Starting point is 00:17:33 First time in New York. First time in New York City. First time. Was that your first time meeting Andy? Yes. First time meeting Andy. First time on Watch What Happens Live. How did you think about it?
Starting point is 00:17:43 Like, what did you feel? Oh man. Honestly, I wish I was feeling better at the time. I had a little bit of a cold. But all in all, it seemed like it was, I blinked and it was over, is how it felt. I want to explore more. Like, the most I did outside of, you know, press and the show was walking down to the Hudson. I did that by myself. Yeah. We went to dinner one night. We went to dinner the first night. Yeah, where did we go, STK?
Starting point is 00:18:07 STK. Yeah, I know, I felt bad I couldn't go out with you more, but I was so exhausted and I had to leave for Boston the next day. So I was just like, Luke, I'm sorry, I'm not gonna be able to hang out more during this trip. Oh, you know, it's okay. Truth or false, I was asleep before you both nights.
Starting point is 00:18:24 Probably. Yes. Oh my gosh It was um, were you nervous for your first time and watch I was live because it's a live show which makes a big difference I had a little bit of nerves, but you know, honestly, I think I don't thank you for this I believe there was some comfort in doing it with you. Thank you someone else if I had Anyone else whose first time it was. Yeah, I was on solo with a celebrity I didn't a celebrity I had never met before, I think I would have been a lot more nervous. But going out there with you, I felt very comfortable. Oh, thanks.
Starting point is 00:18:52 You did a great job. Thank you. I always get so nervous before I go and I do this weird thing. Whenever I'm in glam, I get quiet right before. And I'm normally a super talkative person. And for some reason, it's just like I get quiet. And I think it's just because the nerves are coming up. I didn't see that when we were hanging out, when you were getting ready.
Starting point is 00:19:10 Well, because you came in, I was doing glam. You came in like two hours after I did because I was getting glam at the studio. So like there was a moment where I was just like silent. And then you came in and they were like talking about the show. And then other people came in the room like PR and different things like that. So you know, of course it's like different, but I still get very nervous even though I've done it so many times. I think, I don't know, I just have this way of accepting things that are out of my control.
Starting point is 00:19:36 You know, like I just, in my mind, I'm like, well, I can't really do any more prep. So why would I be nervous about it? It is what it is. Yeah. So I went out and did it and I guess I did okay. You did great. What do you think about Andy? Andy's great.
Starting point is 00:19:50 Yeah. It still was so quick. I feel like, well, I don't know, can't even really tease this, but you kind of dropped some tea on him. That guy that had captured it. Oh, gosh. That captured his attention. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:20:01 Yes. I didn't really get to talk to him to get to know him like at all. Yeah. But it's okay. It was, you know, it's a quick thing. I feel like that's what it is. Anytime with Andy though, is like he leaves right after. So we don't really get to like spend too much time with him. You know what I mean? The most time I've spent with him has been like me and Zach went whenever we were in New York at the city winery live podcast show that I did. Andy, we went to the Southern Southern charm premiere and Andy came to that Okay, and I got to like actually spend time with him like at a bar and having drinks and stuff like that
Starting point is 00:20:32 You know, yeah, so cuz normally like I feel like for everybody He's he's in and he's out cuz he's got two kids too Well, he's got he has two kids and he's always working ain't doing that show every single night Like you imagine that show every night on top of him hosting all these reunions. Yes. On top of, I mean, he also goes on other shows. He's got his podcast. He's very busy.
Starting point is 00:20:49 Yeah. I get it. At the same time, I'd like, Andy, if you're listening, I'd like, you know, 10 minutes. Yeah, 10 minutes. Give me 10 minutes. Oh my gosh. Yeah, that's a whole thing because he is super, super busy. But how hilarious was it that they brought out Kristen's green dress and they put the face on it.
Starting point is 00:21:13 Oh my goodness. Yeah. So with the whole, I don't know how much I can really get away with saying here, but I didn't know where to look. Like, do I look at the green dress? Do I look at the camera? And I kept going back and forth like the green dress, I've seen it before, obviously, in the person's closet and she gave it to him the week before. Yeah. Right. So at the same time, I see the face on it and I'm like, I
Starting point is 00:21:33 want to look at the dress. I know what you mean because whenever we looked at the dress, obviously the face wasn't on it. But when you look at the cameras or the video, the screens, the face was on it. That was crack. That just cracked me up. It was so funny. No, what threw me off is look, I had no prep. I didn't, no one told me anything as far as games or kind of games are going to come. Yeah. I'll admit I don't watch that show that often.
Starting point is 00:21:57 So I didn't know really what to expect. Now I do. Yeah. Coming out in my first game being Defend Your Doty. I don't know if they captured it, but my eyes got big. That's when like I got a little anxiety like, Oh no being Defend Your Doty. I don't know if they captured it, but my eyes got big. That's when like I got a little anxiety like, oh no. Defend Your Doty! What do I have to do here? You did a great job defending her though. And you also said I can defend that on things that even Kristen herself wouldn't defend. So I think it was all good. What was so funny is Kristen
Starting point is 00:22:20 afterwards said I did great. And she said she thinks she would have answered the questions the same way. Yeah, which is exactly what I would think that Kristen would say. You know, you didn't say anything that was like out of pocket or crazy or nothing like that. And I swear like she would be like, can't defend that. You know, she would say the same thing. The biggest thing is just answering the questions, right? And I knew that that's the only thing I knew going in is just answer the questions.
Starting point is 00:22:43 Yeah, they're hard. Don't bow out. Yes. Just answer the damn question. Yep. Yep, and that's what I did too. And I got a little bit of hate for answering Certain questions people a lot of people were like you shouldn't talk about this. You shouldn't talk about that I'm like people don't realize like it's a live show You're nervous as hell and when Andy Cohen asked you a question you answer it, you know what I mean? And when Andy Cohen asks you a question you answer it Like yes, I'm going to answer no matter if people like the outcome or not, you know Just being honest. That's what you got to do always in this world that we live in is be honest, you know how
Starting point is 00:23:21 Okay, you have been on reality TV now for two years Correct. How does that feel? It feels like, you know, I have a little bit better handle on it. Season one, I was just like, the hell is this shit? I don't like this. I don't like this at all.
Starting point is 00:23:36 You are a lot more quiet season one than season two. Well, I also like season one started with kind of Jax going on the attack. Yeah. And then bringing in Kristen's most recent ex. And then Kristen under attack. And I felt like I never had the chance to get my footing. Yeah. That makes sense.
Starting point is 00:23:54 But you feel a lot more comfortable now? Well, yeah. I went in the last summer with the attitude that I'm going to have fun and no one's going to stop me. Yeah, good. And on top of that, I'm going to speak my mind instead of just thinking these things that I'm gonna have fun and no one's gonna stop me. Yeah, good. And on top of that, I'm gonna speak my mind instead of just thinking these things that I don't wanna say.
Starting point is 00:24:09 Yeah. Because I'm also the newest one of the group, right? Yeah. So it's like, what's my opinion gonna carry? Is my opinion gonna carry any weight whatsoever? Of course. I didn't feel like it did. Well, it definitely does now.
Starting point is 00:24:21 It does now, yes, yes. So yeah, I'll be far more outspoken moving forward. I feel like in the very beginning, we didn't... Well, I could just say me personally, I didn't know if you and Kristen were going to be together. You know what I mean? Just in the very beginning. In the very beginning. No, I get it because also, look, I mean, there are valid points about some of Kristen's past
Starting point is 00:24:44 relationships, right? They haven't lasted some people have come and gone quickly. And to especially that I claimed, I'm still claiming Colorado. It's like, this guy's gonna get sick of this and bail too long. I get that mindset. I totally understand it. Yeah. But now that I've gotten to know you better and see how you treat Kristin and now you guys have this beautiful but like I have like love getting to know you better and I just I'm so happy for you guys and I think you all are gonna be an amazing couple you know you're engaged now you got a beautiful daughter on the way I just I just love you and I'm so glad that Kristen has you for real thank you yeah she's happy and that makes me so happy are you, I'll be even happier when we get a little more space.
Starting point is 00:25:26 Yeah. Are you looking for places right now? No. Yeah, okay, good. Cause you live like four minutes away from me. And like I said, I need that baby close. I mean, if we had it my way, we'd live in this house that Kristen is not a fan of,
Starting point is 00:25:39 but we'd live in this house until we moved out of state. Meaning like four, probably three, four years minimum. Yeah. Because it's hard to move around a lot with especially with a baby. Just moving in general. Yeah. Kristen and I both had moved every year for four or five years straight for this house. Yeah. We signed a two-year lease. I'm like I can't keep moving every single year. Yeah. It's too much. So. Are you gonna try to stay there? Like for real? Okay good. You'll have to ask Kristen if she can keep up with it for single year. Yeah, it's too much. So what are you going to try to stay there? Like, I real okay, good. You'll have to ask Kristen if she yeah, well, if you do get a
Starting point is 00:26:12 different house, hopefully it's around me. Santa Clarita. Don't go to No, please. No. Absolutely not. Have you seen Danny and Nia's? Yeah, it's gonna be like she showed me all the pictures and stuff. I'm so happy for them. It's gonna be great They have a beautiful view. I'm happy for them. They needed it with all the kids. They needed the extra space so bad Yeah, we might go up there and see it next week. Yeah, I know you can get a yeah I know you can get a lot more in Santa Clarita, but it's just like We're the valley. Okay, You can't leave the valley.
Starting point is 00:26:45 So close, but you know, who doesn't live in the valley? Listen, Michelle. I yeah, true. Say that. But well, yeah, no, because they talk about their West. They show their West Hollywood homes and stuff. But like I had a, um, a shoot the other day in Santa Clarita and the time that I went there was like the morning time So my side of traffic was fine leaving the valley heading to Santa Clarita, but coming the other way It was like like wall-to-wall cars like stopped traffic like it was crazy. I was like, oh my gosh So if you pick what time of day you get to leave and do stuff like that
Starting point is 00:27:23 It's not that long. It takes like 20 minutes. I think it only was a 20 minute drive. Okay. Yeah. That's what Danny was saying. He said the, I think it was the baby shower day. They came down, they were signing their final papers in Santa Clarita and it only took 18
Starting point is 00:27:37 minutes to get down here that time of day on a Sunday. But then like forever to get back, right? I don't know. I didn't ask. Well, he didn't say it just depends Yeah, it depends on what time for sure because I was seeing that traffic and I was like, oh no But if you can plan it around it wouldn't be that bad, but I like you guys being four minutes away better
Starting point is 00:28:01 Oh, of course. I mean as close as we are i've walked home. Yeah multiple times Yeah, well because I like to walk most people probably wouldn't walk the mile but Most people wouldn't walk about we so lazy It was a mile yeah, I enjoy a walk, especially if I'm a little drunk and you know at night It's kind of cool out. Yeah No, it's great at the same time. There are days where we have to go It's like four and a half miles away in 23 minutes and I'm like, why do we live here? We have to go to this place at this time. It's four miles away, four and a half miles and it's going to take almost half an hour.
Starting point is 00:28:34 Exactly. Or an hour. Yeah. Like sometimes even just going to like Beverly Hills, depending on what time of the day, it can take me 13 minutes to get to Beverly Hills or it can take me an hour. And it's just like insane But obviously whenever you guys have your baby girl Cuz you I feel like I'm always the host like you guys come to my house a lot more way better house
Starting point is 00:28:55 Which I hope y'all bring the baby over here, but I will come by a lot more to your house whenever the baby Well, we'll see what kind of mom Kristen is out the gate as far as I think she's gonna be very protective like a bit of a Helicopter bomb. Yeah, and then she'll ease up I can see her being a bit of a helicopter mom but in the best way Like even the way she is with her dogs always say this like she's gonna be the best mom because I could just see how She is with her dogs. You know what I mean? Yeah, I know there's a big difference but but she is like super protective of her babies. She is.
Starting point is 00:29:26 Yeah. Same time she spoils the shit out of her. There's nothing wrong with spoiling. Yeah, we've got different opinions on that. They say, you know, if you spoil your kids, you have to raise your grandkids. If you spoil, if you raise your kids, you can spoil your grandkids. Oh, I never heard that one. That makes sense.
Starting point is 00:29:44 Right. You can't give them everything. You got to make heard that one. That makes sense. Right. You can't give them everything. You got to make them learn their lessons. I mean, true. And there are some things they have to figure out on their own. You'd be there for support and figure out, you know, steer them in the right direction to help them get to their solution. But they need to find that solution on their own.
Starting point is 00:29:58 Oh, you guys are going to be great parents. I think so. I'm excited. I was so excited. Okay. So what would you say is your favorite thing about being a reality TV star? My favorite thing? Um, hmm. That's a question I haven't been asked. My favorite. Hey, when reality hits, always bring it back to the reality. My favorite thing is not being in LA. Let's see.
Starting point is 00:30:26 It's probably, it's not getting recognized in public. Maybe the work schedule, the work freedom, we'll put it that way. Yeah. Honestly, I say work. It is us doing what we do. Yes, of course. It is our real life. But when we are filming, there's, you can
Starting point is 00:30:46 make it fun if you want to. Of course. Put it that way. Yeah. And the fact that, I don't want to dive into too much of how we get paid or what anything like that works, but I think as far as work goes in my life, it is a very, it's a nice cushion. Yeah. We'll put it that way. Yeah. It is fun. Like we get, we're very lucky that we get to do a lot of the things. Like we got to go to Hawaii and like we got, you know, like we got to do all these amazing
Starting point is 00:31:12 things that we might not actually get to do, you know? You're right. I'll retract that. I want to say my favorite thing is the, how much help I had in accommodating the proposal and like that, that is something that is priceless. Yeah. how much help I had in accommodating the proposal. Yes. That is something that is priceless. It truly is priceless.
Starting point is 00:31:30 For sure. To make it that special to have that footage live forever. What that would have cost, the ability to actually pull something like that off without a little bit of help from friends and from production. Yeah. Like it probably wouldn't have happened. Well, even me, I like that. Like I could show certain clips to Cruz one day, you know, not in the, like we didn't end well, but you know,
Starting point is 00:31:54 there are happy moments that were filmed. Like my engagement, my wedding that I will never regret. Like I loved every single second of that weekend. But like you said, it'll live forever and Cruz can see that. Hopefully he doesn't see the bad stuff. You know, I'll try my hardest, but there ain't no telling. It all comes out if he wants to dig it up. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:32:15 Same thing with Kristen is like, if she wants to dig some things up and justify her behavior with Kristen's, then you know, what can we even say? What is like we were young and dumb. Hopefully she's not well, like, like well I'm young and dumb now. Oh no. You're gonna have a little Kristen. I can't wait. My goodness.
Starting point is 00:32:32 I hope I hope it's a hybrid. Not all little Kristen. Oh my gosh. When life feels overwhelming, sometimes the best thing you can do is slip into another world.

Whether it's viral moments, currently shaking up on the internet. Blake Lively has been acclaimed the American Dream Girl for quite some time now, and now it seems she's America's
Starting point is 00:34:30 most hated. Pop culture phenomenon everyone's talking about, or deep dives into stories that deserve much more attention. These black women are getting pregnant by people that we also consider to be lower than them. I'm here to give you the full picture, genuine insights and conversations mainstream media often overlooks. Some women are getting so many fillers
Starting point is 00:34:50 and Botox injection to their face that they don't even realize how crazy they can potentially look. Here, we explore different perspectives. To a lot of people, Kylie looks a lot older than she really is. And above all, we speak the truth. That is not okay, and that's to get you registered
Starting point is 00:35:06 as a sex offender. You must check out the Toni Brien TV podcast. You don't wanna miss what's coming next. ["Valley Van"] Um, that's so funny, cause like on the Valley Van, you know, for everyone listening, if you saw it, it was like all over our social medias,
Starting point is 00:35:24 bravo social medias, we did this thing called Valley Van, where we were like sitting in a van getting asked all these different questions and different things like that. And one of the questions that Riley Hamilton asked Jason and I, I don't know if you saw this or not, Luke, but he was like, if you had to be stuck in a car on a road trip with Jesse talking about only real estate or Luke talking about only fishing, who would you choose? And I go, Luke. And Jesse goes, Jesse. And I was like, listen, I don't have any issues with Jesse, but Luke is just so chill.
Starting point is 00:35:59 You are. I didn't see that, but that's so funny. And thank you for that. I think Kristin would still choose me over Jessie, I hope. 100%. She very much gets annoyed when we're going somewhere and I can't stop talking about the fishing trip we're going to go on. There are times where she's like, okay, can we talk about anything other than fishing
Starting point is 00:36:18 or golf or you know, you can't wait to do. After the baby comes and she gets a little bit like older and you're okay to like leave her With a family member or baby like whatever, you know down the road. We need to go in like a fishing thing I would love to do it 100% well Kristen actually for Christmas bought me this Bought me a charter that I haven't gone on yet. Oh really? Long Beach. Yeah. Oh, I'm coming We need to get the cameras up for that one. Oh my gosh, that would be fun. Because I like stuff like that. I mean, of course, I'm always going to put them back and whatever, but I grew up doing that. You're not putting them back if I'm on the boat.
Starting point is 00:36:53 Really? We're paying to go out and catch fish. If we catch a tuna, we're filling the boat. Oh, a tuna. Okay. I see what you're saying. But if it's a pretty little fish that you're not going to eat, we're putting it back. Oh, of course. I'm not going to eat it. I'm not going to eat it. It's going back. Okay, okay. Gosh, tuna would be so like those things are huge. I know. How cool would that be? Oh my gosh. I'd be scared I'd get pulled in. Have you seen all those videos where like a tuna is on the line and then all of a
Starting point is 00:37:16 sudden a big shark comes up and like eats it? That is terrifying to me. Yeah. I think it'd be pretty cool to see. It'd be great to see but like what if you go pull in the water and a shark was there trying to chase your damn tuna? You know? Okay, okay. That would be scary. Even though I love sharks, I would love to see them from a safe distance.
Starting point is 00:37:33 You know? Ten feet. Yeah. Like on the boat, safe, like they can't get me. That would be cool. So I posted my brawny ad today. Oh, I saw it. What did you think about it? I thought it was hilarious. It was great. Okay, good. I knew that you were going to do this. I didn't know they were going to have this team of brawny men come into your house. It was so
Starting point is 00:37:57 good. Oh my gosh. Big fan of this. This was great. All the puns were hilarious. And just like the fact that they had, you know, the brawny man, he actually looks like the brawny man on the package of paper towels. And then they had the three ply guys. So it's three like hot guys and they all came to my house and spent like the day at my house cleaning. And it was just, it was so fun. Like if you haven't seen it guys, please check it out on my page because it is so funny. It's like one of my favorite ads I've done. I agree. I mean, trust me, I see Kristen do vibrator ads and you know, you guys, you guys know
Starting point is 00:38:32 how this, this stuff works, but this one is truly entertaining. I just had to talk about it because I posted it today and it's just like, I just think it's so funny and I got to have like four good looking guys in my house. Hey, hey, hey. It gets a tell on by your face. You didn't hate that. I was like trying to flirt. I was like doing a little side eyes and you know,
Starting point is 00:38:54 acting like I was cool. I had a spill over here. Yeah. I was like, oops. Oh my gosh. I loved it. The puns were amazing. Okay. Oh my gosh, I loved it. The puns were amazing. Okay. Oh my gosh. So I haven't talked about
Starting point is 00:39:09 this yet on the podcast, but something that happened to me last week, my cat Lola went missing. Okay. I thought she was gone. Like I thought I accidentally left her out outside. She got outside somehow. I was thinking the worst. I was crying all day, like 24 hours. I could not find this cat. I was thinking a coyote got her, you know, because they're always on the ring app that people spotted them and this and that. I posted on the ring app, the next door app. I posted on Paul boost. I posted her on like any kind of app that you could ever imagine. Kristen and Luke, bless your hearts. I love y'all so much. They printed off flyers and we put like a reward for her and everything. And Luke brings a staple gun, which I didn't
Starting point is 00:39:54 even think about. Like how are we going to post these flyers around town? She said you were going to use a hammer and nail. Hammer and nail and like tape. Like just like like tape like that wouldn't stick to nothing. So we walk around and you know, I'm a mess. And I'm just like, thank you guys so much. And here's Kristen walking around. It's like 90 degrees that day. And we're walking with all the dogs were hoping that they're German Shepherd Jill will like sniff out the cat. And I was so grateful that you guys did that for me. I go to take a shower that night and I have this cabinet. What would you call it? Like a wardrobe, dresser?
Starting point is 00:40:32 Yeah, I have a wardrobe. A wardrobe. Yeah, because it has doors. It's got shelves on the inside. And it's just got things like undergarments and stuff like that in there. So I hadn't opened it. And I looked everywhere through this house. I hollered for her nonstop. Never heard a word from her. Looked in all my kitchen cabinets because, you know, cats are so fast and they will just jump into anything. I was checking the washer, dryer. I was like checking the trees. I mean, everything. Yelling her name, walking around the neighborhood. It was crazy. I got to take a shower. So I have to open my wardrobe and she was sitting in there 24 hours later. I couldn't believe it. She never meowed or anything?
Starting point is 00:41:11 I never heard her meow, never heard nothing. I mean, you guys came over, we were all looking for her everywhere. And it was just so insane to me that she was in that cabinet. She didn't poop or pee in there the entire time. That's a good cat. I know. Like I was devastated thinking that this baby girl was gone and you guys I just have to thank y'all publicly because You all came over in no time printed out flyers for me like walked around the neighborhood searching for her And I just met the world for me and of course I had to go take them all down the next day The whole time.
Starting point is 00:41:45 Oh my God, that was terrifying. Do you remember what I told you? That cats like to go on adventures. You're like, she's probably went out to party. She's out partying for a few days, right? If she was out doing that, what is so funny is just yesterday, my friend Greg in Colorado, so they had a cat named Blitz and he left, he disappeared. He was mostly outdoor cat. Just yesterday? Lived. He disappeared. He was mostly an outdoor cat.
Starting point is 00:42:05 Just yesterday? Lived in their house. No, he called me yesterday. He showed back up after being gone for four months. No! Four months he was off doing his own thing and said he came back bigger and fatter and he couldn't have been happier to be home. You kept telling me that she probably left and will come back and that was normal for cats. But like in my mind, I was like, what if she never comes back? And I just don't know what happened to her.
Starting point is 00:42:27 Like my mind was just going to the worst. I was like, somebody's got her inside. Somebody or a coyote's got her something. A hawk's got her. Like I just was thinking all the worst stuff. And I had such bad guilt because I thought she like ran out the back door or something like that. But even Zach, whenever I was calling him freaking out, he was like, my cat was missing once for two weeks and came back. And I was like, Oh my that, but even Zach whenever I was calling him freaking out He was like my cat was missing once for two weeks and came back and I was like, oh my god But I just cannot handle that but yeah, I appreciate that so much, but it was just so crazy I never heard her make a sound I was laying in bed at nighttime and I heard like a Boom kind of like not a boom, but it was like a bump against a door
Starting point is 00:43:01 I can knock yeah, like yeah and like both dogs like Kingsley and Monroe were both in bed with me. And I was like, what is that? So I went and opened my bedroom door to like look and see if I saw anything and I didn't and I never heard anything else. That was Lola like hitting against the wardrobe. Saying my meow. Yeah. And she didn't meow.
Starting point is 00:43:22 She didn't do nothing. But I heard that little like push of the door. But I didn't hear anything else, which is so wild. Cats are crazy. They are like, I love her so much. She's the coolest cat ever. And that was like, that was just a crazy day in general. I cannot believe I thought that she was gone that whole time. Nope, she was just chilling in my underwear drawer. Oh my gosh. Okay. Everybody that comes on this podcast, I ask them two questions.
Starting point is 00:43:54 Okay. Okay. The first one is, if you could be on any other reality TV show, what would it be and why? Oh, I used to have an easy answer for this. Now, because of the stakes, I think the Deal or No Deal Island was number one. I've never watched that, but I've seen like old school Deal or No Deal. Is it the same? It's kind of like that. It's like that combined with Survivor.
Starting point is 00:44:16 Oh, wow. I thought you were going to say Survivor for sure. No, Survivor was before my answer. It's like my best case scenario, I win a million dollars. Oh. Or best case scenario in Deal or No Deal Island is like $10 million. Oh my God. Oh, wow. So you can win even more. Plus, you don't have to like go hunt for your food. They like take care of your food. You sleep in a... You basically have a cabana. You know, it's like, you're on an island. They don't starve you, but you do have to live on this island, play these games, competition things, and play the social game, and play Deal or No Deal all these times throughout to get to the end. If you're the last one left, you get to play for the biggest case that is this accumulation of all the prizes won in these other games, and you can win over $10 million.
Starting point is 00:45:03 That's amazing. So that's what I'd put as my number one now, Survivor being number two. Is someone getting a little LA that they're picking? Dillard No Deal Island over Survivor? Well, you see, I mean... I'm just kidding. A million dollars these days doesn't get you as much as it used to. Especially in LA. No, especially in LA. Like for real, you're like, I got a daughter to raise. We need the two million dollar case. Let me get two or three at least. One's real. You're like, I got a daughter to raise. We need the $2 million case. Let me get two or three at least. One does not do it like it used to.
Starting point is 00:45:29 I'm just kidding. I'll have to watch that show though because that sounds interesting. Okay. Second question, even the last like two in that first one, honestly. But who's your favorite reality TV star of all time? Kristen Doty. Yes. Whenever I wrote that out, I was like, he better say Kristen. Who's your favorite reality TV star of all time? Kristen Doty. Yes! Whenever I wrote that out, I was like, he better say Kristen.
Starting point is 00:45:48 He better say Kristen. Easy, easy, easy. Come on. Okay. Second is Rob Mariano. Boston Rob. I love Boston Rob. I love watching him on TV.
Starting point is 00:45:56 I love watching him do the games. The last Traders. Janet, or not Janet, Jasmine said Boston Rob too when I asked her. Boston Rob's so good. Yeah. I love watching him. He's great. Oh, I love that you mentioned him. He's great. Oh, I love that you said Kristen.
Starting point is 00:46:07 That's my girl. All right. Before we go, I have a fun daddy to be game planned for you. Okay. All right. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to see how well you know the products that are going to be needed for your baby girl. So like what Kristen registered for?
Starting point is 00:46:27 It'll just be like different ones. She might not have even registered for some of these. I just want to know your knowledge because you're a first time dad. So it's okay if you don't know everything. I didn't know everything whenever I had a baby. I got way too much stuff. I told Kristen a million times, I was like, girl, like ask me what you actually need because I had things that I never even opened because you think you need so much and you nest and you nest and you nest and I didn't use half the stuff.
Starting point is 00:46:51 That's what I'm saying. I'm like, why do we have two rooms full of crap? Anyway, that's a story. Okay, so I'm going to say the names. Either you know them or you don't. But even if you don't, just try to guess what you think that they are. Okay? Okay, let's go. All right. And I thought of this game because I love friends and there's the episode where Rachel is at her baby shower and she doesn't know any of the stuff.
Starting point is 00:47:19 And she was like, is this baby funnel talking about like a breast pump? Okay, I was right. When you said baby funnel, I'm like, is it a breast pump? Okay, cool. Good. You would have got that right. Hey, hey. Okay. So here we go. Okay. First thing, Baby Bjorn. Isn't that a brand? Yes, but what they have like a certain thing. One thing. Well, they do have a couple couple things but it's their main thing that they're known for. Ummm... Or even if you know a couple different things that would be...
Starting point is 00:47:51 Maybe like a changing peanut thing maybe? No? Changing peanut thing? What's a peanut thing? It's like the soft cushion thing that you put on your little changing table to change them in. I don't know. Awwww! I didn't even know that that. Do they call it a peanut thing? They call it a peanut, yeah. Oh, see, I don't even know what that is. Hey, you did something for me. Kristin's asked me where it is like 20 times, so it's on my mind. Oh, well, you know what? I kind of hurt your chances there a little bit because BabyBjorn
Starting point is 00:48:20 is a brand, but I was thinking of their baby carriers. The carriers. Yes. Okay. So that you can strap the baby to your chest. Yes. They also have like bouncy seats and a couple different things but like that's like their number one like what they're known like. Gotcha. It's called a baby. We have we have a few baby carriers. I call them baby carriers. Yeah, baby carriers. Okay, Drift. Say it again. The second thing is Drift. Drift. Yes.
Starting point is 00:48:42 Say it again? The second thing is Dreft. Dreft? Yes. Dreft, let's see, that's a weird name. I was trying to get hard ones for you. Dreft is probably something postpartum. Nope. It is, good guess though, because that is a hard one if you've never seen this before.
Starting point is 00:49:02 It's hypoallergenic baby laundry detergent. So you wash the baby's clothes in it. We have that. Yeah you probably do. Toss the packaging away way too early for me to see what it is. Hey I love that you're trying to guess and like you're not like your answers aren't like crazy you know like you're doing a good job. Okay next one. Infamil. Baby formula. Yes! Ding, ding, ding! Good job. Okay, what is a play gym? A play gym. Is that G-Y-M or J-I-M? G-Y-M.
Starting point is 00:49:38 It's not the little walk around thing, right? It's probably kind of like a... Oh man, the names of these things. I know. It's like when they're laying on their back and they play with the little things above their head. Yes. Whenever they lay on their back and they have like the little stuff above them.
Starting point is 00:49:58 A little mobile. Yes, and they do like tummy time on it as well. Like you flip them over when they're trying to learn tummy time and how to move their head. But yeah, it's got like the little stuff above it. That's what I was Once the temps start rising I realize I was back in the same worn out rotation same tank same short same everything So I gave my daily uniform an upgrade with quince their pieces are easy Elevated and somehow make me feel

Starting point is 00:52:07 Yes. Okay. We have a lot of bottles. I know. Yeah. There's so many because honestly, like you go through and figure out which one is going to work for your baby because she might have different like preferences and then you'll stick to that same bottle once you figure out which one works the best.
Starting point is 00:52:23 So wait, is it the bottle or the nipple? Because I know there's a bunch of different nipples and it's a bottle like brand That has a bottle with the nipple as well. Yeah, okay. The one that Cruz liked was a vent Event event. I don't know bottle brand AV E&T. That was his favorite and it works really great We have a lot We have a baby brezza that is gonna clean it and the baby brezza formula maker and we have baby brezza Okay, so baby brezza was gonna be one of my questions. So I'm glad to know that you know that I'm telling you the baby brezza formula maker like if you know if Something happens and you guys want to use formula down the road or if you want to start what whatever you guys want to do I?
Starting point is 00:53:01 Was unable to breastfeed after eight weeks. So the Baby Brezza was the best thing in the entire world. It is literally like a coffee maker for baby bottles. Like a Keurig that you just like fill up the canister with the powder. The powder's on the top. And then you just have to like make sure you clean it really good. Every single time that the powder comes down, you clean it really good. And it is literally the best thing. I would have one upstairs by my bed in the middle of the night and one down here in the kitchen.
Starting point is 00:53:30 Amazing. Because, but yeah, Baby Brezza, best thing. And they have the bottle cleaners and everything too. So I'm not even going to have to ask you that because you already said that. I already asked Kristin about the bottle cleaner. I'm like, is this thing really necessary? We have a dishwasher. Right.
Starting point is 00:53:43 Do we need it? I think in the beginning, I mean, I was like sanitizing everything, everything. And you and you'll get, you guys will do that too. Like whenever she's very little and then over time, like once they start growing up, yeah, first month or something. Yeah. Then they need to go eat some dirt. We're from the country. We're like, you're fine. Yeah. Go play with worms. We're from the country. We're like you're fine. Yeah, go play with worms. Five-second rule Okay, what is a hatch?
Starting point is 00:54:12 Like on a tank What do you mean? What's a hatch on a tank? I don't even know it's the way you get in and out Okay, no, it's just something that's called a hatch like hatching eggs like an incubator. No like hatch hatch hutch hatch hatch hatch is probably like a swaddle close not not close but good guess it's a baby soother and sound machine so sound machines are incredible. Like we have some of those.
Starting point is 00:54:46 Yes. So a hatch is a great because it's also like a soothing nightlight and then it does like wave sounds and white noise and different things like in the baby's room. That'd be great for Kristen. Yeah. It sounds like she needs that to sleep better. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:55:00 Now I'm thinking of it. I need to make sure that you guys have this. It was like a portable sound machine and it was like gray with a green circle. I can't remember what it is. But anytime I took crews like on a walk or to a restaurant or anything, it was a game changer. Can't just use a Bluetooth speaker and play the sounds on YouTube or something? This one, it's like meant for babies. So it's like, you know, soft and soothing and everything. And you just like charge it like normal and you just put it in their stroller. And it's like perfect, especially if you're out in public and they're trying to sleep, right? Because then it takes away like all the background
Starting point is 00:55:31 noise. So I'm gonna try to I don't have the name of that one right now. But I'm going to make sure that Christian has that something baby specific. Yeah, you can't make it work with something you already have. You have like 15 Bluetooth speakers. I know I know. And when you might even already have portable sound machines. You might. I just want to make sure. We have a lot of boxes still to open. We've been getting through it a little bit.
Starting point is 00:55:50 I told Chris and I'm going to let her know everything that worked for me. It doesn't mean it's going to be everything that will work for you guys. You know, you've got to try out everything for yourself. But that was something I would say was important. Okay. Up next, Wendy. No, my mind didn't go go the right place for this one Wendy it sounds like another noisemaker like you're talking about
Starting point is 00:56:12 Wendy It is a shusher a Shusher is a noisemaker. Oh Yeah, but do we tell you what it is? Yeah, are you wanted to guess again? Okay, maybe I'll guess again. Okay It's what they use for photo shoots to blow your hair We are talking baby specific That's hilarious. You're talking about like Bradley with his His
Starting point is 00:56:42 Hair in the wind calling it a Wendy from now on. That is hilarious. A Wendy is an instant natural gas and colic relief. So it looks like that. You put it in the baby's booty to help with gas. It's from free to baby. Interesting. The things that you do for your child. I don't know about that one.
Starting point is 00:57:01 Your face got red talking about that. Oh my goodness. Okay, we red talking about that. Oh my goodness. Okay, we're talking about baby Brezza. Okay, just a couple more. What is a Nanit? That's the camera system. Good job. Yes. The complete monitoring camera system. What is a Hawkeh? Hawkeh, Hawkeh-Loo-gee. That's what it made me think of. Hawkeh, it's like a probably like a baby hammock. So it is a manual breast pump.

Yes, so it like has a suction cup around the top like this and then you squeeze it and it like suctions without you having, you can like walk around and everything and it just, you can like walk around and everything and it just like suctions without you have you can like walk around and everything and it is you can like walk around and Everything and it just like suctions look like you don't have to keep holding it Wait, you walk around topless with I mean at your house
Starting point is 00:57:51 like I'm not gonna go in public and do it, but you can save store so much milk in these and They're like actually amazing. Sometimes they work better than like a breast pump does really? Okay. Yeah. So that's called a hawk. a hawk. Hear that babe? Okay. What is a rasp baby? A rasp baby. Rasp baby. Baby that is born with the raspberry color. Rasp baby. I mean, raspberry rasp. So a rasp baby is a raspberry silicone baby teeter toy. Oh, it's a pacifier. That's a raspberry is a raspberry silicone baby teether toy. Oh, it's a pacifier. That's a raspberry with little rough edges. I know that, Brittany. That's why I'm asking hard stuff.
