I said on my podcast, like you and Jacks had this idea that I was immediately brought into and I'm so
grateful for. And it does take, you know, it takes an army of people.
to like make a first show happen yeah and it was something we talked about back in 2020 yeah
or before 2020 and then the pandemic hit and I'm just so glad that after all these years you guys
brought it back to the forefront of our producers and all the head honto minds yeah jacks was literally

So let's, we went to Magic Mike.

Rew.
We went to Magic Mike and it was awesome.
It was hilarious.

far away from where we were yeah the stage they pulled you up on so i just kept taking like really
close photos that were live so i could like click on them and watch him gyrate on you like above you

So good.
The drinks were flowing.
We had the best time, but it was pretty up.
Yeah.
If you go to Vegas, you got to try Magic Mike.
It really is amazing, though.
The dancers, the whole show is phenomenal.
Remember whenever they get in that cage and it goes up in the sky or whatever?
and there's the rain falling down.
The shower dancing.
Like, absolutely.
I've had so many girlfriends text me ever since I posted about that last year that have
texted me and they're like, you went to Magic Mike.
We're all going to Magic Mike.
A group of my, shout it to my friend Jamie, but she and a bunch of moms from L.A.
They all went to Vegas for like a trip and they're like, we're all going to Magic Mike too.
So good.
They wanted the same experience.
It is so good.
Do you remember a couple years ago?
I can't remember every single date.
obviously, but me and Katie had a shared birthday in Las Vegas.
Yes.
And we all went out and we went to like, I think it was like Omnia and like did all the things.
We did all the Vegas.
All the Vegas.
Vegas is like, treats us amazingly.
So shout out to Vegas.
I love you.
Vegas, we love you.
But I'm not going to say which one of your ex-boyfriends, but one of your ex-boyfriends because we all had this huge suite that had like a pool table and it had like multiple
rooms in it so we had a phone it looked like a Kardashian mansion like it was kind of split with two
stair staircases yeah it was huge big giant area and then we all had bedrooms upstairs and you
had like master bedrooms on the deck yeah me and um yeah katie both had like the big main
bedrooms downstairs so but one of christmas a bluetooth speaker we had a Bluetooth speaker
it was connected to like a JBL speaker or something and he goes out to take a shower after playing
music on the speaker and didn't realize that his phone was still connected, I guess,
somehow.
And we're all downstairs.
We're all downstairs.
Like getting ready, we're ready to party.
Like, we're like, everyone meet here.
All of a sudden, porn sounds.
It's like, uh, uh, uh, we're like, what stuff?
He was literally upstairs in the shower watching porn and it was going through the speakers
for all like 10, 12 of us to hear.
There was like 12 of us.
It was there.
And porn is very.
all knew who his phone was.
It was so normal and fine, you guys, but I was like, Carter, turn your damn phone off.
I wasn't going to say his name.
I did.
Kristen said his name.
I did.
But still, that was such a hilarious moment.
And that was just like, is another, you know, birthday memory that I always think about because it was so funny.
And everybody was cracking up and felt so uncomfortable for a second.
Then we just, like, died.
I want you all to just take a moment and imagine you're with all your best friends.
their boyfriends, husbands, and you're partying, you're trying to turn on a speaker,
let's play some going out music. And all of a sudden, it's just porn sounds. So good. That's a great
memory. That was such a good memory. Yeah. I can't believe you said the name I was going to leave

ladies we all have struggled with bloating before it is something that I cannot stand whenever
you feel like you can't fit into your pants whenever you feel so weird after drinking your morning
coffee whenever you just are feeling bloated and down and everything that's why I started
using everyday dose after drinking everyday dose consistently my bloating has reduced and my face
is less puffy. I cannot stand when my face looks puffy. So everyday dose has been amazing for me.

I used to have a birthday curse, by the way.
Like, I'm not even lying.
Like, there was years and years and years where I had horrible,
horrible, horrible birthdays.
And let me tell you all a little story.
It started when I was,
17, it was my 17th birthday, I was getting like a new TV or something. I was so excited.
My parents were buying me a new TV. The worst ice storm that we've like ever had in Kentucky
happens on my birthday. We can't go nowhere. We can't do anything. Nobody could come see me.
Nobody could celebrate. You can't drive. You can't even leave your house. Ice storms are the
worst because nobody can be on the road. And all you Midwesterners know exactly what we're talking about
right now. Exactly. And it was just like crazy because that was the first time. I was the first
time because I'm such a social person. I always love to celebrate like my birthday. Everybody else's
birthday is like that's just who I am. Hostess with the mostest. I love having everybody around.
So whenever that happened, I was like, oh my gosh. Well, then my 18th birthday comes around. And I had a G.I. Joe's and Army Ho's birthday party. So everybody had a dress and camouflage and like Army stuff.
I love that theme for you. It's like so hard. I love that theme.
So let me tell you, my bedroom at the time was, it used to be a garage.
It was like this huge room and it had a separate room inside of it.
It's hard to explain, but it also had a door to the outside.
So my sister or somebody got me a keg.
Okay.
And it was in the second room.
So my mom would come down and she would check on the party and be like, how's everybody doing?
Does anybody want snacks?
Or like, she was like passing out like red solo cups of like,
like pop and stuff
and she had no idea
she had no idea she had no idea
I've never heard you say pop
what do you think I say soda yeah I think I say both
I go back and forth that's wild
like Midwestern hashtag Midwestern
I go back and forth on both okay so sweet
little Sherry Cartwright my mom doesn't even drink
y'all does not even drink or do anything
I've seen her have like a sip of wine
and then she's like I'm good she'll be like I'll take
a Malibu
malibu coconut rum with pineapple juice she drinks like a 17 year old she does so like and that's like one if that ever so she
especially back then like she did not have any drinks whatsoever so she had no clue that i had that keg in that room
and we're she thinks that we're all carrying around the solo cups of the pop that she brought out
wait brittany i have a question is your mom now hearing this for the first time that you had a keg hidden no trust me
she knows and i'll tell you why the freaking cops
came the cops came and they come in and all my friends there was like 30 40 people had to stand on
my front lawn until the freaking parents came and picked them up they called all their parents
it was my 18th birthday and my poor mom is like getting in trouble and I'm like I'm 18 now
I'm bawling crying I'm like get me in trouble not hurt my mom had no clue that we had any
at the party. This is like, not another teen movie takes Kentucky.
But you know how sweet my mom is?
Like she had no idea. And I was just crying, balling, please officers take me. They didn't
like take her to jail or nothing by that any means, but still like you can get in trouble
for that stuff. And she was completely like, innocent. And I was like, oh, it was like the worst thing
ever. Like the shit that we do to our parents that they have no idea about. Carl, who I know
is insane. I know.
It really is.
Do you think about that as a mom, no?
Oh, yeah.
Now I'm like, Cruz is going to do this to me
and I'm going to get paid back
for all this stuff that I put my mom through.
Oh, great.
Like, great.
Oh, man.
I hope Luke and I have a baby, like,
for real, for real,
that I don't get paid back.
Did you have parties at your house?
I had one.
You only had one?
I had one.
Oh, girl.
I was party.
My mom, it's like, my mom raised us.
Like, my dad, you know,
we were there.
I mean, I had parties at my dad's house because he was like the cool dad every other weekend.
Like, yay, dad has the party house and it was fine.
But at one time my mom went out of town for like a whole night.
And I was in high school.
Like I was my brother and I both like well old enough to take care of ourselves.
And I'll just do long story short.
I love the stories.
I was a freshman.
My cousin was a senior.
I was friends with some seniors and way too many people came over.
I just wanted it to be like, I'm thinking like,
some of my freshman friends and we're going to have Boone's Farm and some like smeared off ice is yeah like

the street no just trash bags everywhere and my mom opens one and there's just like beer cans and
cigarette butts and she's like and you're grounded for a month oh gosh I'm just sitting there going
how was I that stupid oh my gosh well like I said I had a door to the outside like like so
sometimes my mom would be upstairs and I would have like three or four friends over she wouldn't even
know like the things that people do whenever they're in like high school and middle school is
crazy yeah i think back at it all the time now and i just laugh and i mean oh it's hysterical and
we were so innocent like i was never doing anything bad i didn't drink i really didn't even drink
until like i had a beer or two like yeah like that's scary like my senior year and that was
even like a natty light and the like vodka with slurpees and then you find out that vodka
doesn't freeze my brother and i used to and it would go to the bottom of the yeah we would drink
like Malibu rum and then we'd pour water in it and put it back in the freezer and then my mom would
pull it out and she's like so like alcohol doesn't freeze just so you guys know and this is a
almost frozen bottle you're like oh i put water in there sorry moms to make it better we love you
oh my gosh yeah but that was absolutely crazy um do you remember whenever we what we whenever we
saw brittany spears in Vegas and she gave us eye contact yes absolutely that was the first time
that Ariana and I, like, looked at each other, like, I love you.
Because we did not like each other that time.
But we felt the Brittany love and we were like, we're here for this, right?
Brittany, both ways, love.
Brittany both ways love.
Brittany Cartwright and Britney Spice.
I'll never forget.
We had like front row.
Who was it?
It was me, you, Katie, Stossie, Sheena.
Lala wasn't around yet.
Or was she?
I think Lala was there.
I can't remember.
Maybe not.
Zach was there, I think.
Kara, my best, you know, my bestie from home.
She was there.
Ariana.
Like, it was such a fun.
It was so, so magical.
So fun.
And we actually saw the concert on my birthday.
And then she looked at us and gave us contact and we were like, freaking out.
We were so close to her.
We're like, pretty gave us eye contact.
She loves us.
She knows who we are.
I mean, I felt that way in the moment.
She really stared into my soul.
Yeah.
We were like, she knows us and she loves us.
It's the best.
Yeah.
So another birthday curse birthday that I had.
Tell me.
Whenever I turned 21.
Uh-oh.
It's like all in these epic birthdays of years.
Oh, yeah.
So 17, 18, 21.
Yeah.
All the, like, fun ones got ruined.
What happened to 21?
So I'm turning 21.
And at the time, I was dating my college boyfriend.
He was a football player for EKU.
And we were, like, kind of at the end of our relationship.
I had turned 21. I was like trying to like date other people. Like we were like kind of at the end, but he still came on my birthday trip. You're like, I'm not a girl. Not yet a woman. Exactly. Yeah. You wanted to find your way in life. Yes. So, but he still came on my birthday trip. So it was like a bunch of our friends, my sister. You know, we all took a limo to Louisville, Kentucky. So Louisville is like a few hours. Like two hour drive.
So we took a limo there, and then we went to a bar in Louisville, and then we were going to take a limo back.
We go to the board.
We finally get there.
Everything is going good, whatever.
And we get to the bar, and these, like, Louisville football players are buying me drinks and stuff.
It's my 21st birthday.
I've got, like, a pin on my shirt.
So, like, that's the reason that these guys know, okay?
My boyfriend got so jealous.
Uh-oh.
And they start a fucking brawl.
A bar fight.
A bar fight.
A bar fight over Brittany on her birthday.
On my birthday.
After we're two hours away in a limo that we all have to ride in together.
So we go up.
And I'm, of course, like, I'm from the country.
So if somebody starts fighting, I'll get right in there.
Like, I go right in the middle of these huge football players fighting with each other.
I don't think, do people know this about you?
I say this about you publicly.
I always have a manor pump rules.
And I've even said it on my podcast, too.
But, like, what people see is what they get.
You are who you are.
You're exactly who you are.
You're the sweetest, your sweetest pie.
I tell you this all the time.
You're such a hard worker.
You're the most amazing mom.
You're the best friend ever.
Like, you are my sister, like, in L.A.
Without you, I'd be lost.
However.
However.
What should you go say?
You're also like my real sister when it comes to that kind of stuff.
Because when Brittany first told me about how she's been in, like, bar fights before
I've been around.
Like, she's like, I'll jump right in the damn middle.
I'm like, that's my girl.
Well, you got to, like, take up for people, you know?
Yeah.
And I didn't even know that.
But I didn't know, like, in meeting you in the beginning, I'm just like, this little
thing, this little country pie.
Yeah, I'm definitely country and sweet, but like, I'll stick up for people.
Oh, yeah, you will.
But what happened was that got so crazy.
And then our other guy friends that were like on the limo with us started like fighting with
them too.
So they're like, four guys fight with four guys at the bar.
And I'm like, go.
I just.
into the middle and I put my hands in between them like stop fighting stop fighting I get knocked down
laying on a glass and slice my butt cheek open on a piece of glass a piece of broken
broken glass I have a butt cheek scar I have a scar I have a scar I need to see it my butts because
I've seen your butt I need to see that scar it's like very light like whatever I know where it is
but I thought I was going to have to go get stitches that night I mean it was crazy I was
crying everybody was crying we couldn't like figure out where anybody was everybody had just like
ran away it was one of the craziest nights then we had to gather everybody and we get in the limo
and we're driving back to lexington or richmond where i was living at the time i guess i was living
in richmond because i was at eke you so we're driving back to richmond and my ex has just
so been crying in the freaking limo and my sister who does not hold back to
on anything at all.
She's like having to like talk to him, we had to pull over on the side of the road because
he thought it was hyperventilating, crying.
Like it was.
So essentially what you're telling me is that you had a reality show, but you weren't
getting paid to have a reality show.
This was my 21st birthday.
Like it was supposed to be epic.
It was supposed to be epic and all that happened.
And like, it was just crazy.
All my friends were like, what is going on?
I mean, the whole bars fight with each other over me getting a shot bought for my, bought for my birthday.
It was only because I had a big banner on my, like, 21st birthday banner.
So, of course, guys are going to buy me shots like, hello.
Hello.
That all happened on my 21st birthday.
When did your birthday curse end?
Um, gosh.
I mean, all of my birthdays here have been absolutely wonderful and amazing.
You're picky and choosy about who gets to come.
Yeah.
Maybe that's why.
Well, yeah, because, like, if people don't mix and things don't work, like, I just do not, like, on your birthday, like, you deserve to not have drama on your one freaking day of the year. Do you know what I mean?
I totally agree with you.
Cooler days call for layers that last. And Quince is my go-to for quality essentials that feel cozy, look refined, and won't blow your budget. Think $50 Mongolian cashmere premium denim that fits like a dream. And Lux outerwear you'll wear year after year.
These are some pieces that'll turn into your fall uniform.
I'm eyeing their wool coats.
They look designer level, but cost a fraction of the price.
And the quality, honestly, just as good, if not better.
Because Quinn's partners directly with top-tier ethical factories and cuts out the middleman,
they deliver luxury quality pieces at half the price of similar brands.
It's the kind of wardrobe upgrade that feels smart, stylish, and effortless.
I love Quince.
It's one of the places that I always go for shopping.
They have so many different amazing things that you can look at.

You guys, Cruz is such a picky eater.
and I found Haya a while ago, and he absolutely loves them.
They are children's vitamins that he adores, and him being so picky, finding anything like that that he will try is amazing.
Knowing he gets all the vitamins and the nutrients he needs while he is growing every day.
He's becoming such a big boy is so important to me, and he actually loves these.
Typical children's vitamins are basically candy in disguise, filled with two teaspoons of sugar,
unhealthy chemicals, and other gummy junk.
Growing kids should never eat.
That's why Haya was created.
The pediatrician approved superpowered chewable vitamin.
While most children's vitamins are filled with five grams of sugar and can contribute to a variety
of health issues, Haya is made with zero sugar and zero gummy junk, yet it tastes great and
is a perfect for picky eaters like My Krusey.
He also loves whenever the bottles come, they have stickers, and he just loves playing
with the stickers right now, so it's such a cute thing.
I also recommend checking out their new kids' probiotic and nighttime essentials.
We've worked out a special deal with Haya for their best-selling children's vitamins.

Another time.
I got another story.
So it keeps going.
Another story.
This is after my 21st birthday.
I'm not sure exactly which birthday it was.
It wasn't a super important.
It was like in a 20s.
I was over 21.
So we got a VIP table.
I think it was called,
what was it called then?
Trust Lound.
No, it wasn't called Trust.
It was a bar in Lexington.
Okay.
And we had a VIP table and I had, I was a bartender then.
So I mainly had cash, you know, you know, whatever's there.
Like, I didn't even have a card or anything.
I just had all cash all the time.
So I have in my wallet like $700 to pay for the VIP table that we were having for my birthday that night.
She balling on a budget.
Somebody stole my wallet out of my VIP section, literally reached over, grabbed my
wallet out of my purse and stole all of that cash so of course as soon as i'm going to pay for the
table i noticed that my wallet is missing and just like bawling crying in the bar like freaking out
all my friends are having like scramble and like chip in to like pay for this bar tab if you guys
could see the look on my face right now i my jaw actually hit the floor like what see you next
tuesday type of person would it was awful we were looking at the
the cameras and everything like the people were taking me in the back like watching the table
and stuff and like we see somebody grab it so then I'm going around being like we have the
videotape like I'm trying to be like extra loud about it so after my friends all have to chip in
and I'm bawling crying in the bar on my birthday which is so embarrassing the freaking um the wallet
gets returned at the very end of the night stop it so and all the money was in there like so
I don't know what this person was doing I don't know who it was
But they, like, ruined my whole entire night because as soon as I noticed it was gone.
If you remember this night, you need to email in, comment below and get on Britney's next podcast because we want to hear from you why you stole it to begin with and why you decided to turn it back in.
Because thank you.
Yeah.
Like, why steal it and then turn it back in at the end of the night?
Like, was it somebody I knew that was being an asshole?
Like, and that kind of, like, what was it?
Or did someone have a come to Jesus moment?
because I was going around saying,
we got security footage.
I was trying to be so loud.
We got security, blah, blah, blah.
And really wouldn't even, like, actually see who did it.
That's really smart, though.
Yeah.
And it ended up getting turned back in.
So then I was like, do I pay all my friends back?
But nobody asked me to you.
So I was just like, whatever, it's my birthday.
Exactly.
You've had birthdays from hell.
Winter birthdays are hard.
Yeah.
And also, like, everybody wants to do, like, dry January.
Like, I'm trying to have fun on my birthday
and everybody's doing dry January.
Every single time I've done Watch What Happens Live, I think maybe except for one time over how many, 10 years, Andy Cohen is sober.
Because I'm always there in dry January or around my birthday and he decided to do like dry February instead.
And I'm like, cool.
So about my birthday because you were thinking about your birthday.
Yeah.
No, I want to know some of your worst ones and some of your best ones too.
Oh, okay.
Because I love this.
Like, you know, this is a whole birthday episode.
So we did the one that I, about the house party, which I forgot was actually my birthday until I started telling the story.
But since I've been in L.A., since I've been on reality TV, most of my birthdays I've spent in New York doing Watch What Happens Live.
Oh, wow.
And usually it's when like a reunion is airing or a really bad episode is airing.
And I'm like, this is so fun.
Thanks guys.
I have to relive this.
Oh, and Andy's dead sober.
This is super fun.
So none of those were really great.
um my favorite birthday was when we all went to nashville oh my gosh yes that was so fun we all went to
nashville and we saw fleetwood mac yes that was awesome that was by far my favorite birthday that was
such a good birthday it was just we we had the money and like if you guys think like we're
millionaires and stuff off reality tv you're all are crazy i'll stay here first but i britney
and i will speak for both of us it's like when we started making money we just get we love to like
pay back our families and like
help people because we weren't raised with money.
Exactly.
And so for me, that birthday, James May had done really well that episode that aired.
And I'm just like, God, Vanderpump was so great.
And I'm like, I just want to treat as many people as I can.
And all my friends from Vanderpump flew out and some of my other friends that weren't
on Vanderpump.
And then I flew out my mom, my niece.
Yeah.
My mom's boyfriend, my godson's father, my best friend.
Jeff, like just so many people came.
We had like 20 of us all in Nashville and we got 20 tickets to Fleetwood Mac and we had
this amazing suite at the Noelle Hotel and it was just so much fun.
Gosh, that was fun.
And I'd never been to Nashville.
So it was like my first time in Nashville.
And you know me?
I was like, yes, Nashville.
You're like, I'll show you everything.
It was so fun.
So that was my favorite birthday.
Oh, yeah.
Oh my gosh.
I'm so glad you brought that memory of side note.
That's also whenever we found my house.
Yeah.
Literally, Jacks flew home early from my birthday party, like one day early.
I stayed with you and he flew home just to go see the open house and FaceTime me.
And that's when we got the house.
Yep.
Because I found it as we were taken off on Zillow.
How crazy is that?
That is so wild.
Yeah.
Like, everything just, like, connects with each other.
It's crazy.
You know what?
I'm, like, laughing right now because we're talking about so many birthdays.
Remember that birthday that we shot of Stossi's on Vanderpump Rules where it was like the murder
theme. And she had the bullet hole right in the middle of her forehead. Can I tell you? I just
watched part of that scene today. Okay, because I forget exactly what happened, but I just remember.
The reason I watched that today was because Luke's mom told Luke, she's never watched Vaynerpump
Rules ever, obviously. But now that Luke's on the Valley, she texts Luke today. She was like,
I don't know. I was like, bored. I had some time. Started watching Vanderpumbril's and I'm like,
oh, God. Oh, no. Your boyfriend's mom started watching Vanderbent. He said season six.
And I could not remember what season six was about.
Yeah.
What was season six?
Well, wasn't great for you.
For me?
Oh, God.
That was season six.
Okay.
Barf.
So I'm thinking, what did I do in season six?
What did I do?
Oh, I threw a drink on James.
Okay, not so bad.
And then that birthday scene, I was like just skimming through the episodes going,
what happened?
And that birthday came up of Stasi's.
Oh, my gosh.
It was so wild.
I mean, the fact that like, everybody had that makeup.
on it was like Halloween oh my gosh and I remember I was like the only one who was allowed to go to
both birthday parties yes because it was split Tom and Ariana Ariana had her birthday party because
Ariana and Stasi oh my gosh Ariana and Stasi have the same birthday so Ariana had like a queen
like queen birthday party or something it was like it was very like it was about queens because
I remember like for Stossies I would like had my like throat because hers was murder and then I put
on a crown and I was a dead prom queen for Ariana's so it flowed like perfectly which was so wild
for season six just thinking back because the beginning of season six when we were all at your house
for that big party and then Ariana runs over to Tom Sandoval and like yells at him and I went with her
and I told Luke Luke's like oh were you and Ariana friends then because Luke has never seen past
season two yeah and I said well like we weren't but in that moment we were
we were we were very cool we were fine right you guys were just there for me at that moment but we were so like stand tall for brittany
and i think that was our first moment of friendship because i wasn't at her birthday party yeah but after that
moment we were like we're cool in real life too right yeah yeah when did you guys actually start being like
you think that that was like one of the the turning points was like whenever that was happening with me
i do i think it was like when i started dating carter and then she realized that i was actually
in a happy relationship and no longer trying to like ruin her life and then it was being because
you were sort of the you really were the glue not sort of you were the glue that kept the girl
group together because everyone's going to hang out with you and you were like as long as you guys
all get together like get along together yeah then it's fine isn't that crazy I feel like I'm
always in that situation yeah and I think of everyone always respects you well let's it's the same
way on the valley think about it like you're the glue that helps like holds the group
together. And as long as everyone can respect that about you, I think the only time there's problems
when people can't respect that for you. For me, that's my issue. Yeah. I get mad when I'm like,
everyone, grow the fuck up. Don't make this harder on Brittany. She's inviting you. If you can't
keep it together, then don't come. Yeah. Oh, I love that everybody like has been, you guys have been
awesome for me. Like, absolutely amazing. Well, you make it easy. But, oh my gosh, all these memories.
I know. All of these memories. So what many.
memories. By the way, I do have to say really fast, we are going to have a Sunday,
fun day birthday party on Sunday, obviously. Daytime, I'm turning 35, so what's better than a
daytime party? Exactly. And the lines are playing. I know you're so excited. One person did want to
know, hold on, let me see. This is from Liz S. Wren, and she says, who does Kristen want to face
against the Lions in the Super Bowl.
That is so tough.
That is so tough.
So I would love for the Chiefs to beat the Ravens.
End of story.
The Chiefs are my, sorry, Luke, my second favorite team is on the Colts.
I love the Chiefs.
I've loved the Chiefs long before Travis and Taylor were dating.
Travis was my whole past, though, that was okayed by Luke.
Before Taylor?
Before Taylor.
That is crazy.
Because it was, I changed it.
it briefly to John Mayer and he was like, no, he said too many of your friends have hooked up
with John Mayer. So I said, what do you think about Travis Kelsey? And he was like, that's totally
fine. Then Tatea started dating him. But I've loved, the chiefs in general, I've been a fan for many years
because of other friends. Hold on. Quick side note really fast. You know that I worked at Hooters with
Maya who won the dating show. No. Yeah. We worked at Hooters in Lexington together. Stop it. For years. Yeah,
we're still friends. The Kelsey dating show. The Kelsey, the
Travis Kelsey dating show. She won. She was the girl from Kentucky. Yes, I remember him. Because you know,
they had somebody from each state. We worked together at Hooters. What? Yes. Yes, girl.
Brittany. So a little inside scoop there. Yeah. Isn't that so random? We have to have a side
combo about this. But I think I could ask her what he was like in bed. You got to bring her on the
pod. That's all I'm saying. You should ring back like some Hooters girls. Oh, for sure. For sure.
Just like a Hooters podcast. But I would, yeah. So I would. Yeah. So I would. Yeah. So I would.
love to see them play the chiefs for sure um but i do have a sweet spot for lamar jackson because
it with the ravens because i just feel like he kills it but yeah i just sorry to my friends
who like the ravens i don't like the flippin ravens i know we're going to beat the 49ers
knock on wood and so i hope we play the chiefs okay well i'm excited for you i mean i was always
a bingles girl or a miami dolphins because you know my yeah my nephew's father played for the
Miami Dolphins for like 12 years.
Jeremiah Bell, shout out.
Yeah.
So I was always such a Dolphins fan.
But obviously all, Jacks,
you, Jenny, everybody was here
this past weekend and we were watching the line.
So, of course, I'm sure for the lines with you guys.
Thank you for that question. Thank you for caring.
Yes. Oh my gosh.
We're really excited. Everything from Detroit
just makes me so happy. I love my hometown.
Yeah, it's going to be great.
And also, you're obviously coming on Sunday
to watch it at Jacks's and also celebrate my birthday
at the same time.
Definitely be there.
The only reason we want it is if we get last minute tickets in San Francisco.
Oh, I wouldn't even judge it.
Otherwise, I'll be there.
Because we are doing, also, we're doing a girls night,

oh wait sorry

how excited are you and what was it like for you personally to be back on camera
did you feel like you were ready to be back after like what we have like two or three
years off four years yeah for it'll be four years well the time we air by the time we air
yeah um so it's like nerve wracking at but it is just as exciting yeah you know what I mean
because because we've been working now
that we can say we've been working on this
for so long and working at it
and like doing these little like
Zoom interviews with producers and sort of
building this show up internally.
Yeah. It's so exciting
that it's finally here. I know. Because I had a
moment last week, Britt, where I text
you and I was like, oh, I didn't like the way I looked or like I'm
frustrated people are saying this or saying that and you went
you know what? We just have to be excited that it's finally
here. And it really brought me back down to earth where I'm like,
what am I bitching and whining about?
you're right oh i need to remind myself to be grateful yeah have gratitude and not suffer in
the because you didn't like how you looked in a photo or something you know like we like i because
of course i do those same things like we always get in our head and we think about like every single
little comment that people are going to make about us coming back on bravo and about this and this
and that like it's a lot of pressure sometimes but at the same time like just being so grateful
in the moment and like realizing how lucky we are like yes like how many like persons
of people get to do what we get to do yeah you know like not opinion sorry let me back up
get these options to do things like this get these opportunities yeah so it really did bring me back
down to earth of like my anxiety and then also complaining and like being frustrated and I'm like
this we're so lucky so lucky and I'm so grateful and that got me a lot more excited when I just like
breathe through that yeah um that's what you gotta do sometimes whenever the anxiety takes over
We just got to be like, okay, think about what we're doing.
Think about how cool this is.
Think about what we got going on right now.
And how hard we've worked.
Yes, we wanted to come back.
So, like, it's amazing that we are coming back.
And I think that people are going to love it and relate to the show so much because all the random, like, issues and personal issues with every single couple, you know, things that, like, we all go through as individual couples.
Absolutely.
I think people are going to really be like, oh, wow, like, I went through this.
And I felt like I got to be much more me in my relationship, in my friendships with people than I did at the end of my Vanderpump Rules time.
Yeah.
Because at the end, it was like...
It was just different.
Yeah.
It was just different, you know.
But I think that it's going to be great.
And I'm like super excited for all of that.
Me too.
But I'm glad that it's happening.
It's wild.
So I did get a lot of questions about how you were feeling after the miscarriage.
obviously I'm only bringing this up because you were so open and honest about that,
which I love because so many people go through this.
And I think it's so great that you were so honest about your experience.
Yeah.
So a lot of people were just asking how you're feeling, how you're doing,
and any future plans that you want to discuss.
Up to you, whatever you want to say, obviously.
Yeah.
I think I didn't even realize how many people could relate to it until we decided to do it.
And Luke and I decided to talk about it on our podcast only because
we literally didn't know how to go on with the podcast without bringing it up.
Yeah.
We're like, how do we jump this hurdle without just laying it all out there and having this one
moment to just say how we feel?
Yeah.
It wasn't for everyone else.
It was just for us.
And I hoped that it would help other people.
And it really did.
And it really, it blew my freaking mind, like how many people email.
I'm talking like hundreds.
That's awesome.
Emails, text, not text, but like DMs and like messages.
And people just saying like.
This happened to me last week.
This happened to me a month ago, the last few days, a year ago.
It was very wild to me.
And then we even did a podcast at the very end of the year where it was like the top
most Googled sex questions.
And one of the questions, top 10 of all of Google of 2023 was, can I have sex or when can
I have sex after a miscarriage?
Wow.
Which blew my mind because that was something I Googled very much.
Yeah.
I was unsure.
Because you were wanting to like try right away.
Right.
Yeah.
And so, and we did.
And we did try, right after my doctor said that it was safe to, we tried.
I ended up having my period, so it didn't happen.
So Luke and I decided, like, let's just take a minute and breathe and digest, like, the
emotional and the mental and all of that and take a minute for ourselves.
And then we'll try again.
Yeah.
And I know it's going to happen for you.
You have the biggest heart.
You're going to be an amazing mother.
I've always thought that.
But I appreciate you guys writing in about it.
Like, yeah.
It's really, really fucking hard some days.
and then some days it's not yeah that's the only way i know how to describe it um but i started following
this is the beauty of social media that i want to lend to people is that social media can be
such a kind of shitty place right it can be dark and and just fucking mean trust me we talk about that
all the time it can be cool yeah but the beauty of social media was like after this happened and
luke and i put it on the podcast and it became more of a public thing i had there are certain
social media accounts that are you know there's a niche for everything and there were
accounts that were literally about pregnancy loss. And I followed them. They said, they're following me. And
that pops up on my feed. And I get to read these like kind of beautiful things like, I understand you. And it's okay. Yeah, motivate. They're kind. They're positive. They're uplifting. And they're also like, it's okay to have a bad day. And it's okay to feel this way. And it really does set the, set my morning. If I read that that morning and I'm feeling badly. I'm like, you know what? It's okay that I don't feel great about this right.
Now, my day is going to go on and I'm going to be okay.
Yeah.
Boom.
So, for sure.
Just got to stay positive.
Yeah.
Stay positive.
Keep your.
It's not always easy, but it really is like, I know.
It sounds so fucking cliche, y'all.
Stay positive.
Be positive.
It's true, though.
You even just said how I made you feel better.
Yeah.
Whenever we were talking about even like the show, like little things like that.
Like if you try to have a positive mindset, it can like change your whole outlook on
things.
And knowing that there are other people, there's so many people out there.
So just like reach out.
Exactly.
You're not alone.
Not alone, y'all.
Can we also going into something crazy?
Everybody knows.
I mean, this isn't that crazy, but for me, it's crazy.
Everybody knows how much I love the office.
Okay.
I love the freaking office.

that's that cut to a couple of years ago we remet at a wedding of my friend Rachel
Brittany and we're both friends with Rachel and her husband Greg they got married
Luke and I stood up at a wedding together I was recently broken up with and that's
kind of that and she just kind of came back with a boyfriend yeah I came back with a non-boyfriend I said
he wasn't yeah she was saying we're not gonna date for the longest time and I was like hmm and then
you know after she started picking up and pick it up and pick it up after a million times of
luke coming to california I was like um that's your boyfriend and he came to Mexico for she
his wedding Janet Janet's birthday like a month and a half after we met again he was just
showing up to all the things but no the more I've gotten to know Luke
more I love him so I'm so happy for you guys yeah he's a midwestern babe yeah he's a lot like
me he is a lot of ways and your whole family like your whole family loves him I'm like that speaks every
and my whole family yeah and I love that for you guys too I'm very happy for you all right another
question from underscore it's just avas she says do you have any regrets being on vpr would you
change your journey and never been on it no I mean of course I hate that of course we have regrets
Yeah, it's like, live life with no regrets, raggrets, exactly, like the tattoo says.
But I have regrets.
There are things that I wish I hadn't have done.
There are things that I wish I had done differently, 100%.
But I don't regret being on Banner Pump rules.
I would not allow me the friends that I have now, the life's, all the platforms that I have, of course.
And as cheesy as you guys might think this is.
But like, even just the, the platform that we have to do charitable things,
or to like spread the word for our friends that need things or our families that need things.
That is for me one of the best parts.
A hundred percent.
And that's the positive part of social media.
Like I was saying earlier,
there are so many positive parts.
But there are a lot of memories that I wish I could erase.
Trust me.
Same with me.
Exactly same.
But like my whole life being from a Kentucky girl who never thought I would be on TV or
doing anything like that.
Like it changed my life.
And like I've had so many amazing experiences.
And like you said,
the fact that we have these platforms and.
can help people and do things like it means the world yeah it really does um okay here's another question
melissa underscore nicole what are you most nervous about being back on reality tv oh shoot girl
everything no um there there are some things that i that'll happen on this season of the valley
that i'm like damn it christin you know better like you did the work you were in therapy you don't
you don't lash out anymore i will say
Hey, Kristen made some good TV, though.
Kristen had some moments.
Kristen made some good TV, though.
I was like crazy.
I like crazy Kristen.
I love her, but I'm like, she doesn't go here anymore.
She doesn't go here anymore.
You don't belong here.
You can't sit with us.
She isn't, she's only allowed to sit with me when I welcome her.
And she just pops up sometimes.
So, you'll see.
It's going to be great.
We're going to get through it like every other hard show.
that we've ever had to go through on a TV show.
People listening or watching,
acting like their lives are perfect.
Like, come on.
Oh, please.
Like, come on.
We all go through things in our lives.
Imagine having a camera following you whenever you're going through it.
Like, it's a whole different life.
Yes.
But I think it's going to be so good.
And, you know, I think I'm most nervous about Cruz being on the show
and, like, people trying to judge that in the parenting aspect
because obviously he's the most important thing in my life.
100%.
I love him more than.
anything else in the world. And people behind a computer have so many opinions about you with
crews, all of our friends with their parenting. And I just get to watch it from the outside and I
want to like fight. Yeah. It's all. If you are mean, I want to fight you in person. I'm telling you
right now, like I will meet you in the back alley 3 p.m. by the basketball court, whatever. If you're
going to say, yeah, like I will fight you if you speak about my, any of my, any of my
friends parenting skills. Nobody's parenting skills, especially just from little clips you see on
Instagram or like a little clip you see on a TV show. I think that's what worries me the worst.
And also like Cruz is in speech. I've been so open and honest about that. Yeah. He's in speech
therapy. He's in, we're putting him in a social skills class. He's in school. He's doing amazing.
He's two years old. But I think that that's like going to be like the hardest part. Nobody should have an
opinion about anyone's two year old. Exactly. It's insane. And also he is the cutest and most
perfect little boy. He really is. He's a wild world. Just saying.
He's perfect.
All right.
This is from hearts underscore yoga underscore.
If she had to go on a desert island and could only bring the dogs or Luke, which would it be?
Okay.
Strangely enough, this is easy.
Really?
I would bring Luke and I would send my dogs to their trainer because Luke would know exactly what to build, how to get off the island.
He would forage all the food for me.
He'd hunt the food for himself.
He'd go fishing.
He'd build a raft.
He'd build a shelter.
like I would sit there and file my nails with like a piece of like wood or something and he
I don't know look 100% Luke dogs go to the trainer and because you're going to find your way
back to the dogs that's like exactly go as I get back to the dogs we're good yeah end of story
we like Luke get us back to the dogs he's like all right baby got it oh my gosh okay I love this
question we're going to end it with this one this is from the sav haven did you and Kristen
hit it off immediately or did it take it
some time for your friendship to grow you go first we hit it off immediately where are we at um what's the
epilp i met christin for the first time at e plp i remember what i was wearing and everything it was
like this baby blue dress that had like side boom cut out and um oh gosh it was from that that brand
american apparel that shut down remember when you say that brand american apparel well remember
was like so popular and then it was so popular believe it yeah so it was like the sexiest dress and
i remember and it was the first night i met you and i was like so nervous because of course
everybody was like already being like well drag talked up with her before where i always had to hear
stuff like that which is so weird we didn't know each other it was years ago like who fucking
care everybody has a pass like you got to get over that stuff especially whenever you're
older like come on so i was like nervous to meet her but we just like clicked instantly in
the elevator we did well so you can't i forget y'all were coming from somewhere
somewhere. And you guys came and you go, do you want to do a shot with me at the bar? And I was like,
I absolutely do. And then we did a shot. And then we had to get, we got in that, because we're
on a rooftop. So we got an elevator to go downstairs and go somewhere. Yeah. And we took a selfie in
the elevator. Something. Yeah. But we took a selfie in the elevator and I have it. Yeah. We're so
going to show this, uh, selfie. If you watch the clip on Instagram. Babies. Oh my gosh. So young.
But I love you so much. I love you so much. I listen. Not to be, you're his wife. But I've,
