Speaker 1: From Hollywood. See you, thank you for listening to us
Speaker 1: with a Ryan Seacrest Wednesday morning. It is we're rolling
Speaker 1: through the month of March and more rain all morning
Speaker 1: ending this afternoon. If they're it's not. It's always a
Speaker 1: temporary end right ending ending this afternoon. Highs highs highs
Speaker 1: highs tubs, Good morning, tubs, How are you? Good morning?
Speaker 1: Jumper chipper highs in the upper fifties, it's not okay, Uh,
Speaker 1: the wettest coldest winter on in my almanac, but it's
Speaker 1: not even winter anymore. Well, we went through, we went
Speaker 1: through it, what was and now it's the wet so
Speaker 1: to me, it's the wettest coldest spring. Yeah, so far
Speaker 1: it happen in my farmer's weather. These two days or
Speaker 1: three days of spring, they've not been great. Okay, let's
Speaker 1: see what can we get into. First thing, how was
Speaker 1: your how's everybody? Well? Guess what? We got a new
Speaker 1: couch and it is you give me a chance to guess? Oh, sorry,
Speaker 1: I don't think you would have guessed that. What kind
Speaker 1: of game are you playing over there? Guess what? Well?
Speaker 1: I wanted to guess. I was broccoli. I was gonna
Speaker 1: say broccoli we got. I didn't know what the question?
Speaker 1: Do you say? Guess what? I was just guessing things. Well,
Speaker 1: we got a new couch and I love laying on it.
Speaker 1: So let me ask you a question. When you ordered
Speaker 1: the couch was when? How long did it take to
Speaker 1: get the couch? Six to eight weeks? And are you
Speaker 1: really protective of the couch? Certain rules applied to the couch. Yeah,
Speaker 1: right now, no one's eating on the couch. No food
Speaker 1: allowed on the couch. And how long will that last?
Speaker 1: I don't know until I break the rule. How do
Speaker 1: you police that many people in your home? I don't
Speaker 1: know too much to keep up with. I know, we'll see.
Speaker 1: Did you get a white couch? I got a white couch,
Speaker 1: so did I. Why why did we get white couch?
Speaker 1: Instagra ram? I don't know, because it looks nice the same.
Speaker 1: I have a white couch. I've had it now for
Speaker 1: a couple of years, but it's a new still I
Speaker 1: still consider it new. It's a new white couch to me.
Speaker 1: And I got this white couch and I thought, you
Speaker 1: know what, it's going to brighten my deck because white
Speaker 1: makes you feel good. It's bright and does it? Well,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you, I can put a throw on
Speaker 1: there and it frames the throw. You know, I put
Speaker 1: a red throw on there, it's it says, say, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, if a bit of blue throw on there,
Speaker 1: it's compressed. Change it up with pillows. But the problem
Speaker 1: is I'm a mess with coffee and red wine. And
Speaker 1: my dog is a black lab the dog. The dog
Speaker 1: sheds on the white couch. So now I carry around
Speaker 1: a bath towel and every time I go to sit
Speaker 1: on the couch, I threw up a bath touch. It's
Speaker 1: like your grandparents' house or cover it. It really does
Speaker 1: do fall for the trap of getting a white couch,
Speaker 1: white furniture. It does not work for me, does not work.
Speaker 1: We got it. It's too late. Now I'm very happy
Speaker 1: with it. It's washable, so all of the covers come
Speaker 1: off to wash. I will be washing it regularly and congratulations.
Speaker 1: You know a big furniture. I'm like that is it
Speaker 1: moves the needle. It's exciting, it's very exciting, very comfy.
Speaker 1: Couch comes in on it anytime. Okay, did you dream
Speaker 1: last night, Tony? Uh? You know what you know? My
Speaker 1: therapist told me to start in the morning when I
Speaker 1: wake up writing down my dreams so that I don't
Speaker 1: forget them and we can discuss them in sessions. Sessions.
Speaker 1: Here are sessions in my therapy sessions. But I haven't
Speaker 1: remembered any of my dreams for over a week now
Speaker 1: because you're not writing them down and you know you're
Speaker 1: having them though, Well, no, I don't know because I
Speaker 1: don't remember them, so I could be just could we
Speaker 1: just blank? Do you know what's funny about my dreams? Like,
Speaker 1: I'm remembering my dream last night, but I can't put
Speaker 1: it into words. There's too many different weird things happening
Speaker 1: to describe. But you know that your dreams are really
Speaker 1: you're subconscious, so you should pay attention every time. You
Speaker 1: should pay attention to your dreams because there are themes
Speaker 1: inside your dream that you can uncover what's really like
Speaker 1: at top of your mind, well out writing mind down.
Speaker 1: When you start writing yours down, those teams have been
Speaker 1: I am doing it now, I'm doing it, but I'm
Speaker 1: saying I haven't had one in a while that I remembered.
Speaker 1: All right, back room, good morning, Good morning, Charlie's Angel.
Speaker 1: He's nice, How are you well? Yeah, it's very feeling refreshed.
Speaker 1: I was helping from Wacapella. Right, We're doing great, mister Seacrest. Oh,
Speaker 1: never say that, please, no matter, tubs, never say that either. Yike.
Speaker 1: All right, Sisney, You're gonna have to set this up
Speaker 1: as we get into it. But Jackson Brittany from vander
Speaker 1: Pump Rules are coming on and they used to be
Speaker 1: close to the scandival scandal people, right, Tom Sandival and
Speaker 1: Raquel Levis, Yes, didn't. Yeah, the whole drama with vander
Speaker 1: Pump Rules. Well, Jackson Brittany used to be on the
Speaker 1: show and they left a few seasons ago, and I'm
Speaker 1: curious to catch up with them. Where the circle with
Speaker 1: Tom and Arianna? Absolutely yeah, actually ends up hooking up
Speaker 1: with Raquel. Wise with Arianna. Tom Sandoval actually was very
Speaker 1: taken aback and offended that Jacks did not ask him
Speaker 1: to be his best man in his wedding. But I
Speaker 1: thought Tom said somewhere on Twitter he knew that this
Speaker 1: was Like, He's not surprised, Tom Sandoval not surprised that. No,
Speaker 1: Jack's not surprised that Tom Sandoval was messing around with Raquel. Yep.
Speaker 1: Didn't surprise him. It didn't surprise him at all. Oh,
Speaker 1: Jacks I like Jacks. You just realize who's coming on ya? Wow, Yes,
Speaker 1: I'm not. I don't watch Vanderpump Rules. However, I had
Speaker 1: Jacks on my podcast a few years ago, and I
Speaker 1: really really liked him. I thought, I thought the show
Speaker 1: and itself was all kind of scandalous and you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, kind of manipulative people. But I felt
Speaker 1: really genuine vibes from him. Jack's really has grown up.
Speaker 1: I think with the show, you see him evolve. You know,
Speaker 1: at the beginning, he kind of was the villain, or
Speaker 1: they made him be like the villain of the reality show,
Speaker 1: and then he kind of grows up. He meets Brittany,
Speaker 1: they end up getting married, they have a kid now,
Speaker 1: and he's a great dad and he seems really genuinely
Speaker 1: like a good He's really kind of done a one
Speaker 1: eighty in life in general. And so I'm just curious, Tony,
Speaker 1: if you didn't realize this was the Jacks you like,
Speaker 1: how would you have interviewed this Jacks. I mean, it
Speaker 1: was like been in the calendar for a week. Because
Speaker 1: can I tell you where my brain is. My brain
Speaker 1: is at the iHeart Awards, and I'm doing something with
Speaker 1: Jack's Victory's Secret, Yes, the singer. And so I don't
Speaker 1: know why I've just been thinking. I don't know it's
Speaker 1: spelled the same j A x us. Today's National Crepe Day.
Speaker 1: I like a crepe, but I usually have a crepe
Speaker 1: on vacation. I don't have never crepe when I'm in
Speaker 1: my normal routine crepe. I agree with you. I like
Speaker 1: a new tellent crepe with bananas. It's kind of my
Speaker 1: speed with bananas, right. I don't need banana as much,
Speaker 1: and when I treat myself to banana, I really it's
Speaker 1: a nice straight all right, Sis, any let's get into
Speaker 1: a house meeting, home meeting, everybody in household meeting. So
Speaker 1: what's going on? You're gonna miss Michael's birthday. I'm in
Speaker 1: a little bit of a pickle and I'm feeling guilt. Okay, great,
Speaker 1: we're great with guilt here. Yeah, but I've gotten the
Speaker 1: okay from him, but I know that there's just an underlining.
Speaker 1: So why are you going to miss his birthday? Michael?
Speaker 1: Your husband's birthday? Well, I have a really good friend.
Speaker 1: Her name is Klin. She's been my best friend since
Speaker 1: we met day one of college at Sandio State and
Speaker 1: she is having a baby, and she lives up in Oakland,
Speaker 1: and her baby shower is on Michael's birthday, May sixth,
Speaker 1: and and she's my age. We're in our older thirty
Speaker 1: or in our upper thirties, and I you know, it's

Speaker 1: like I've had multiples, but just one, but like my
Speaker 1: my bachelorette, you know, my my wedding's Like she's been
Speaker 1: there for me for every single one of my milestones.
Speaker 1: And so, and it's a very busy weekend because we're
Speaker 1: doing the twins birthday party on the seventh. It's just
Speaker 1: like a lot, Like I'm literally flying to Oakland just
Speaker 1: for the baby shower, and I'm flying right back the
Speaker 1: same day, Like I'm calling just for her baby shower.
Speaker 1: I got the okay for Michael. Michael actually encouraged me.
Speaker 1: He said, you gotta go. It's your best friend. Did
Speaker 1: he mean it is a question? Now, do you want
Speaker 1: to feel more or less guilty? I forgot to ask
Speaker 1: at the beginning, less less guilty? God that's guilty. But like,
Speaker 1: give me a solution, Like what can I do to
Speaker 1: make it money? Spitting the day kind of? Yes, Like,
Speaker 1: so I'm flying back in time to work, we can
Speaker 1: still maybe go out to like a dinner or something. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can tell you what's gonna make it all better.
Speaker 1: I know, I know it's not radio appropriate, and I
Speaker 1: will do that. What podcasts will have to tune into.
Speaker 1: Then I think he's gonna be just by. That's basically
Speaker 1: all he wants for his birthday anyways. Yeah, and so
Speaker 1: who cares about the morning. If I'm thinking so, then
Speaker 1: he's fine that I'm missing his birthday. You're talking about dinner, sure,
Speaker 1: if you want to call it that. Take him off
Speaker 1: for steak or something that right now we're talking about, Yes,
Speaker 1: after dinner, fine, after dinner whatever. But he really wants dinner,
Speaker 1: that's what he wants. Wants a great meal. The guy
Speaker 1: doesn't get a chance to have any quiet time with
Speaker 1: his wife. He wants a great meal out. And you
Speaker 1: know what he wants, A big Bold bottle of Cabernet salmgnon.
Speaker 1: That's what he wants. So if you're back in time
Speaker 1: for that, I think we all know how it's gonna end, okay,
Speaker 1: and the little guilt is not bad. And splitting both
Speaker 1: cities and you're going back and forth. That's fine. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's good. Ramp into it. He'll it'd be more excited
Speaker 1: when you get back. Anyway, he'll be ready to sleep.
Speaker 1: You know, he has some morning to get get himself together. Well,
Speaker 1: And that's what I was thinking. I was actually thinking
Speaker 1: that I would get a babysitter for the day so
Speaker 1: then he can go and maybe get like a massage,
Speaker 1: and so it would he would wouldn't leave him with
Speaker 1: the kids. You know, he's gonna By the way, this
Speaker 1: is like a blessing for him. Guy gets up, gets
Speaker 1: a massage, has a babysitter. All right, Yeah, Now, are

Speaker 1: you out there, and you know I'm just hearing this.
Speaker 1: I love my job, I love my work, I love
Speaker 1: my students, and I just think it's sad that I
Speaker 1: have to fight for respect. I mean, that's that's what
Speaker 1: I'm hearing, David, let me borrow your headphones first, or
Speaker 1: that I'm not getting paid enough and I'm not being
Speaker 1: able to live a life that it seems normal. You know,
Speaker 1: either have to have a second job or some people

Speaker 1: two seven Here at Kiss FM, let me grab Rose
Speaker 1: Roses in sun Valley. Rose, Yes, Hi, good morning, Good
Speaker 1: morning Rose. So you're a special ed assistant. Yes i am.
Speaker 1: I've been doing this for twenty two years, and I'm
Speaker 1: just tired of the mistreatment that the superintendent is giving us.
Speaker 1: We work with kids with disabilities. We don't we haven't
Speaker 1: gotten a raises over five years, and it's like our
Speaker 1: job is not noticeable, you know, even like our own
Speaker 1: um school sometimes don't acknowledge us as we should. You know,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of disrespect point on and what emotion
Speaker 1: Just give me the personal side, Rose, like inside, like
Speaker 1: what runs through your blood emotionally when we talk about this,
Speaker 1: mainly to be to get acknowledged, you know, for everything
Speaker 1: that we do, because like I said, like you said earlier,
Speaker 1: that somebody else had a second job for us to
Speaker 1: have to go and look for another job. It really
Speaker 1: just it's like, why do we have to have a
Speaker 1: second job just to make things meet. I'm a single mom,
Speaker 1: I had four kids at one point, and like I said,
Speaker 1: it's it's really devastating that the second largest district cannot
Speaker 1: give us what is something that we earned that we
Speaker 1: have been working for a lot of us are recycling
Speaker 1: cans and bottles and and still have a second job.
Speaker 1: And still you don't come out just to keep our
Speaker 1: jobs because we've had it for so long that we
Speaker 1: don't want to move on to something else, right, And
Speaker 1: I just keep hearing and you love it. You love
Speaker 1: what you do, you love the meaning, the purpose that
Speaker 1: it all has, and you love what you're doing for
Speaker 1: young people and setting them up for the future. And
Speaker 1: the frustration level it's just so high. Well, Rosa, thank
Speaker 1: you very much for calling. I appreciate it. One eight
Speaker 1: hundred and five, two one or two seven. I'm looking
Speaker 1: at Carson in West LA. Those calls coming in, so
Speaker 1: I want to get to you. And you gotta get
Speaker 1: your umbrell on your pont show. If you're out there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because there's been so much rain and wet weather before
Speaker 1: the sun comes up. It's like a couple of inches
Speaker 1: of rain in the last twenty four hours. Trees are down,
Speaker 1: there's a flood watch, thunder and lightning. It was dumping
Speaker 1: last night all night long. Yeah, that was keeping me up.
Speaker 1: Let me get Ginger chan on for a second. Now,
Speaker 1: this sixty Ginger westbound closed. What's the latest thing? Good morning,
Speaker 1: Hi guys, Yeah, good morning man. I mean it was
Speaker 1: pounding rain and let me tell you, my commune is
Speaker 1: like really scary. So I can understand if like someone needs,
Speaker 1: you know, a note okay from me to not go
Speaker 1: to work. But let me just kind of break this
Speaker 1: different cant Ginger chats for you traffic. I'm putting that
Speaker 1: idea in my back pocket. Now go ahead, trust me.
Speaker 1: I've been asked. Okay. So here's the first the sixty
Speaker 1: west before the six oh five. We only have one
Speaker 1: right lane open. I'm sure you guys have driven that
Speaker 1: stretch many times and it's closed. We have this fatality.
Speaker 1: But then you move farther west right at about Saint
Speaker 1: Gabriel Boulevard, so you're trying to get into Montabello the
Speaker 1: far right lane, we got this poddle. The problem is
Speaker 1: they can't even repair that pothole because all the crews
Speaker 1: are responding to the sixty west. At the six o
Speaker 1: five you probably run into poddles too, So let me
Speaker 1: just really quick tell you to the seventy one in
Speaker 1: both directions, and this is from last night. They've shut
Speaker 1: down both directions from Hold to the ten. They're trying
Speaker 1: to repair all the poddles. They ran out of material,
Speaker 1: so they can't even do the repair project right now.
Speaker 1: They have to wait till they get more of that
Speaker 1: material and then fill it back up again. And then
Speaker 1: two ten west stats about Sierra Madre, same pothole problem
Speaker 1: that we had yesterday, so you know, they fix it.
Speaker 1: We had this heavy rain, cars drive over it, and
Speaker 1: then we got all these pottles. So yeah, it's pretty tough.
Speaker 1: We're not seeing a lot of areas of rain anymore.
Speaker 1: It's just all the Aftermathew. Now, Ginger, you've been doing
Speaker 1: this a long time. Have you ever had to report
Speaker 1: on so much traffic in the last couple as you
Speaker 1: have in the last couple of months with all this weather. No,
Speaker 1: definitely not. I mean I've been doing here at KTLA
Speaker 1: fifteen years, believe it or not, and not not nearly
Speaker 1: as much as this. This has been. You know, downpour,
Speaker 1: I mean everything you can imagine, right, I mean we
Speaker 1: even had like tornado warnings earlier. So yeah, flash flooding.
Speaker 1: I mean the five south of the one ten with
Speaker 1: a hillside started to come down. I mean it's you
Speaker 1: feel for the caltrans end HP, you know. Yeah, listen,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I don't want to use the word flood,
Speaker 1: but I am going to use it. You can flood
Speaker 1: Ginger's DMS. If you want to note to not have
Speaker 1: to go to work today, she will try and respond
Speaker 1: as many as possible. But I think that might be
Speaker 1: a good idea. There's no longar tarty slip. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be the note to say not not today. Okay, hey,
Speaker 1: thanks for all the great coverage. We'll talk to in
Speaker 1: a few minutes. All right, ginger Chan, you appreciate that,
Speaker 1: y for Ginger. What a great genius idea. Ginger Chan said,
Speaker 1: I can't get in because there are pots, not only
Speaker 1: the sixty but the seventy one. I can't get around.
Speaker 1: So I read the reviews and I have to tell you,
Speaker 1: as I said, this is my favorite Taylor Swift Tom,
Speaker 1: It's my favorite Taylor Swift Tom. I love all the
Speaker 1: songs I sing along till this I don't really connect
Speaker 1: to me. And maybe it's like five years because I
Speaker 1: would have said same for that current AUM, But I
Speaker 1: don't know these songs, just like I turn these songs
Speaker 1: up and I love it. And I read the reviews
Speaker 1: of her first performances. Oh my gosh, don't get me started. Okay,
Speaker 1: we'll take a right and come right back here. Opening
Speaker 1: night it was Glyndall Arizona. It was what three hours long?
Speaker 1: Tailor Yes, she sang forty four songs. That's incredible, teen
Speaker 1: costume changes. I cannot wait for her to come here.
Speaker 1: Is every show going to be like that? I hope?
Speaker 1: So why would she switch it up? Yeah? I believe
Speaker 1: that they're gonna be the same. But there's an acoustic
Speaker 1: set that's in the middle of the show, and she's
Speaker 1: going to be changing those songs out from city to city.
Speaker 1: So you don't know what. A record for the most
Speaker 1: attended female concert of all time, Yeah, sixty nine thousand people,
Speaker 1: beating Madonna's record from nineteen eighty seven. That was here
Speaker 1: in Anaheim. But look at the set list. It reads
Speaker 1: like an entire catalog of songs. It's incredible. It's her eras.
Speaker 1: I'm very much into it, and Mark, I don't want
Speaker 1: to say anything, but can I say something? Say it? Please?
Speaker 1: Do you know what I'm thinking? What did I know
Speaker 1: we're doing? Or do you not know? Sissy? Do you
Speaker 1: know what we're doing? I usually do read your mind,
Speaker 1: and right now I'm just drawing. No, But how's it
Speaker 1: do with this concert tour? Oh? Giving away tickets? Oh? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Is this what you want to do? We're securing very
Speaker 1: difficult tickets to see Taylor Swift. Yes, I didn't know this.
Speaker 1: I mean we're digging deep into the deepness to get
Speaker 1: these tickets to give away soon. So I don't want
Speaker 1: to act surprised when we tell you, Right, Johnny, why
Speaker 1: are you completely completely speechless? And because I don't think
Speaker 1: you understand like this setless too? She really picked the
Speaker 1: best of the best. I feel as though she really
Speaker 1: took her time. These are the songs that we watched.
Speaker 1: Of course she took her time. But like everything everything
Speaker 1: like is just down to a t just perfection at
Speaker 1: its best and I'm just I just love her so
Speaker 1: much and the fact I can't well, we're working on
Speaker 1: secure in your shots to go see Taylor Swift. And
Speaker 1: she did the ten minute version of All two. Well,
Speaker 1: oh she had to. If she didn't do that, that
Speaker 1: would have been cruel. How did she ended? Do you
Speaker 1: know how she ended the show? Karma? Did she do? Encourse?
Speaker 1: Do you know how that whole thing went? You know,
Speaker 1: you walk off, come back, walk off? We gotta I
Speaker 1: don't know she did encore? Oh, we have somebody on
Speaker 1: the line. Oh oh okay, thanks do we Ashley? Good morning?
Speaker 1: How are you? Oh? The old Ashley can't come to
Speaker 1: the phone right now? Okay, tell me about new Ashley.
Speaker 1: What happened? You saw Taylor Swift opening weekend? That's a
Speaker 1: Taylor lyric? Yeah, we got it. I'm a teams woman. Yeah. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm still recovering. I saw her over the weekend and
Speaker 1: it's life changing. Everyone. Everyone has to go, wait, what
Speaker 1: stood We know we see what we see, but what
Speaker 1: stood out to you as like so amazing? I think
Speaker 1: it's just like the artistic direction, the stage production, the
Speaker 1: performance value that she puts on, Like I get that
Speaker 1: other artists do that. But the difference between Taylor and
Speaker 1: other artists is there's always just this week, this wink
Speaker 1: to her fans, and like she lets us know that
Speaker 1: she's listening to us, that she's watching our TikTok, and
Speaker 1: she incorporates that into the show and it just makes
Speaker 1: you feel really loved. Do you know who's bummed? Who?
Speaker 1: Every other artist? Yeah? Every other artist. I'm just thinking, like,
Speaker 1: imagine if you're about to go out on your tour
Speaker 1: and you just see that dropped the mic performance. Now,
Speaker 1: it's like another level. Right, She's in a complete league
Speaker 1: of her own. In my obtainion, it's just completely different
Speaker 1: than anything else that you can see. Um, okay, so Ashley,
Speaker 1: how did you get your tickets? Um? I had a
Speaker 1: friend who got lucky with a pre sale code and
Speaker 1: she was looking out for me. Did she do an encore? Two?
Speaker 1: En course? How the show end? No? There was no
Speaker 1: encourse all the way through. But honestly, she performed for
Speaker 1: over three hours, so I don't know that we were expecial.
Speaker 1: I'm kind of over the like pretend on so weird.
Speaker 1: It's weird to me now too, Like you go off,
Speaker 1: you stand back there for five minutes then you come
Speaker 1: back cott and you do what you had on the
Speaker 1: set list anyway, just go straight through. We don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm with you. It's like so weird. Did I stand
Speaker 1: there to ye? Who are doing? Down to the setlist
Speaker 1: and the three songs already there? What do you mean?
Speaker 1: Whoever comes on next? We should talk to him about
Speaker 1: that ended with Karma, which was perfect. That was the
Speaker 1: perfect ending. Oh god, actually your voice sounds different. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're a changed woman. You're changed, and I'm a changed woman. Well,
Speaker 1: thank you so much for that almost live report from
Speaker 1: her show, No problem, all right, she waited a couple
Speaker 1: of days to report, but we got the report. Shannoy
Speaker 1: Coop with ryans Well Jackson Brittany joining us. We've been
Speaker 1: talking about them all morning, now, good morning. I got
Speaker 1: to know them from vander Pump Rules. Sissany is obsessed
Speaker 1: with everything that's happening, and I'm trying to keep a
Speaker 1: cool over here. Okay on Bank. Fan of the show
Speaker 1: and uh and of you guys. Yeah, there's a lot
Speaker 1: going on with this scandal all but before we get
Speaker 1: to that, let's talk about you too. You're beaming from
Speaker 1: ear to ear happiness and glowing yes, they both came
Speaker 1: in with a lot of joy here and the two
Speaker 1: you met how season three? Four? Like? How long did
Speaker 1: you guys meet? Four four? Season four? Eight years now? Okay, Now, Jacks,
Speaker 1: when you think about the first impression of Brittany, what
Speaker 1: comes to mind? Oh, I just said I had to
Speaker 1: have that. When I had to have that, I mean,
Speaker 1: there's a story that goes behind it. I was actually
Speaker 1: we met in Vegas and I was on a date
Speaker 1: with another girl and I saw her walk by, and
Speaker 1: I said, well, I like that romantic. I mean that's
Speaker 1: you know. Wait, wait, so what happened? Just understand some
Speaker 1: nuance here. So you're on a date, some date with somebody.
Speaker 1: Where does she go? After you say somebody? The date
Speaker 1: went to the bathroom. She went up to the bathroom.
Speaker 1: I went to the bar, got her phone number, and
Speaker 1: came out to me, and then we we've been together
Speaker 1: ever since. And what about you in that moment? Was
Speaker 1: your first impression of Jack's Brittany? I just thought he
Speaker 1: was really hot, he was really tan. He was wearing
Speaker 1: like a orange shirt. I remember, tell you walked in.
Speaker 1: I thought the same thing. Good looking dude, I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Great hair, is good, great eyelashes. All right, So now
Speaker 1: that two of you are great, you've been together for
Speaker 1: a while. Now, Yeah, they have a baby. We have
Speaker 1: a baby, and then you're watching all this crazy drama
Speaker 1: with your I guess are they former friends of yours? Oh? No,
Speaker 1: we're still all friends for the most part. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm still I'm friends with Arianna. I think Tom is
Speaker 1: just like cut for everybody around to anybody over Tom
Speaker 1: Sandoval we're talking about, you know, we were Tom and
Speaker 1: I had known each other since we lived together in
Speaker 1: Miami in the early two thousands, so I've known him
Speaker 1: for a very long time. Yeah, they're kind of like
Speaker 1: the reason the whole. Yeah, we kind of created the circle,
Speaker 1: created the circle in which he liked a couple of
Speaker 1: people in that circle clearly a lot. Yeah, right, if
Speaker 1: we all did at some point. Everybody kind of like
Speaker 1: everybody at some point. But you said, you said, Jack,
Speaker 1: you weren't surprised that he was messing around with Raquel.
Speaker 1: You know, I was surprised about the Raquel, but then
Speaker 1: I thought about it a little bit more. Um, I
Speaker 1: think the reason is because he can control her, and
Speaker 1: he's a controlling person. You know, he can't control Arianna
Speaker 1: as a very you know, I think she's a very
Speaker 1: strong woman and he couldn't control her anymore. So he
Speaker 1: was just done. And I think in I think he
Speaker 1: likes the fan girl, that she's very easily manipulated. She's
Speaker 1: you know, codependent. You know, no, he'll say that. If
Speaker 1: he hears that, will he reach out to you? You
Speaker 1: guys talk? I mean I saw him. I saw him
Speaker 1: Labor Day. Last time I saw him were at a party.
Speaker 1: He was actually there with Raquel, But it didn't put
Speaker 1: I didn't put two and two together about it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: none of us knew what was going on until it broke.
Speaker 1: I mean, did you speak to Ariana? Yes, Brittany I
Speaker 1: reached out to her as well. I did. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't talk to her on a regular basis. I'm
Speaker 1: not as close as like everybody else. But I did
Speaker 1: reach out to her and say, hey, listen, I'm sorry
Speaker 1: what you're going through him? You know, obviously we lived
Speaker 1: on the street. If you need anything, you know, She's
Speaker 1: got a lot of people in her corner. So where
Speaker 1: does this all end up? I guess it's gonna unfold
Speaker 1: on how's she doing? She's definitely really really mad and
Speaker 1: you know, having a hard time, and I can only
Speaker 1: imagine with how much it's all over the media just
Speaker 1: makes it like ten times harder. So you know, she's
Speaker 1: she's really having to go through it right now. But
Speaker 1: she's so strong. She's gonna come out and I think
Speaker 1: it's she's just gonna be better than ever after all
Speaker 1: this Brittany, you couldn't do no wrong with that accent, right,
Speaker 1: it's nothing you can see, it's gonna upset people. Thank you.
Speaker 1: You could literally drop f Baxeo were like, thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you so much. That makes me happy. So, Sisney,
Speaker 1: you have been a fan of the franchise. What strikes
Speaker 1: you about this couple and this group? Honestly, I was
Speaker 1: really bummed to see you guys leave. It hasn't been
Speaker 1: the same since you left the show, and I really
Speaker 1: thought that. I really thought you're First of all, you're
Speaker 1: a great TV girl, and I really thought that maybe
Speaker 1: you'd have some sort of a spin off or uh,
Speaker 1: do you ever want to come back to reality TV?
Speaker 1: Like what is in the works here? Yeah, we're actually
Speaker 1: I mean we are trying to work on something so
Speaker 1: probing fingers crossed. Yeah, yeah, I guess, and I have
Speaker 1: a show will be out at some point. That's much
Speaker 1: much I can say about that. But yeah, we would
Speaker 1: definitely be willing to come back. You know, we took
Speaker 1: a two year break. Um, kind of just a refresh
Speaker 1: a little bit. Uh. We it ended with our wedding
Speaker 1: and obviously then you know, the pandemic hit and everything
Speaker 1: like that. We just needed a little bit of a refresh.
Speaker 1: I think, kind of just the restart button. You need
Speaker 1: to clear my head. You remember, I've been I've been
Speaker 1: the punching bag of that show for nine years now.
Speaker 1: I'm a very strong person. I have very thick skin.
Speaker 1: Nothing really bothers me. But after nine years you start
Speaker 1: to wear a little bit. So I needed a little
Speaker 1: bit of a refresh, and everything bothers me. I'm easy.
Speaker 1: She gets really offended if, like, you know, she hurts
Speaker 1: a fly me. I don't you know me, I don't care.
Speaker 1: But you guys are doing a podcast now, Yeah, tell
Speaker 1: what's about that? When reality hits? Yeah, and it's just
Speaker 1: gonna be awesome. We're going to talk about everything. We're
Speaker 1: going to clear up a lot of like rumors and stuff.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about behind the scenes of like reality TV,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a basic what's a rumor? You can what?
Speaker 1: I kind of like it because I keep saying this.
Speaker 1: I was obviously the villain of my show, and there's
Speaker 1: a lot of villains of reality TV, and I kind
Speaker 1: of like to have some of the guests of other
Speaker 1: other villains and say, hey, listen, how are you Why
Speaker 1: are you portrayed as the villain? Because always every show's
Speaker 1: got a bad guy, you know, but they're not all
Speaker 1: bad all the time. But you know, guy, I'm not.
Speaker 1: But after a couple of seasons, you get pigeonholed that
Speaker 1: and you just kind of like, well, I just got it.
Speaker 1: Is what it is? Or what's a rumor that you
Speaker 1: want to clear up? Preach? I mean, like just last
Speaker 1: week it was saying that we were like divorced, Like
Speaker 1: there's just so many things. I don't know if it
Speaker 1: was a slow day in the media world, did your
Speaker 1: family reach out our friends like divorce? Like couldn't be
Speaker 1: more opposite. Like I don't understand. Life's good, you know,
Speaker 1: like I said, we we have a new baby. He'll
Speaker 1: be two next month. Yeah, and um yeah, life's life's okay.
Speaker 1: It's Okay, you know a lot of things after being
Speaker 1: on reality TV for you know, he was on for
Speaker 1: eight seasons. I was on for five, So there was
Speaker 1: just things that would happen, and you know, we don't
Speaker 1: get to really talk about it that much. You know,
Speaker 1: it's just edited, yeah, film film, film for six months,
Speaker 1: and there's just hours and hours in footage. And you
Speaker 1: got to remember the show's only forty five minutes long
Speaker 1: with commercials, right, so if there's a fight that goes
Speaker 1: on for like an hour long, they don't show the
Speaker 1: whole fight. They don't show how it started, how to middle,
Speaker 1: and how to end. They just show me going crazy
Speaker 1: and they're like, well, that guy's crazy. How the fight started,
Speaker 1: You didn't see how it ended. Just automatically went to
Speaker 1: the me screaming part. And that's reality TV. They just
Speaker 1: go to the high part. Yeah, you know, or just
Speaker 1: to cut away of your face from another scene. Yeah,
Speaker 1: plenty of that. It's flenty I would like to talk about.
Speaker 1: You know, we want to be really honest with you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a good podcast. If I knew, I'm
Speaker 1: probably happy you're you're off the show witnessing all this
Speaker 1: other drama between everybody else. I can't imagine how the
Speaker 1: red is gonna be. I mean I would have hoves
Speaker 1: and everything. Yeah. Oh, I guess another one. I guess

Speaker 1: hundred and five two one or two seven at kiss ponchos, umbrellas, rainclothes.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a last resort anyway to be
Speaker 1: out picketing. But to be out picketing and then have
Speaker 1: to endure the weather and the temperatures even before the
Speaker 1: sun comes up, it's just not fun. It's just not fun.
Speaker 1: Laurie is out in Harbor City. So, Laurie, you're at
Speaker 1: your school right now? Yes, I am, Okay, what do
Speaker 1: you do? What's your role? I am a primary promise teachers.
Speaker 1: I deal with intervention students. But I'm supporting the SCIU workers.
Speaker 1: We are disrespected in this profession. I've lost my aid
Speaker 1: because she can get more money somewhere else. She can
Speaker 1: get more money at Target and Starbucks and she's only
Speaker 1: paid six hours a day and that's considered full time. Wow,
Speaker 1: she can't even work an instructional aid. So I lost
Speaker 1: a really good aid just because of unfair practices and
Speaker 1: wages and over and overworked workers. And I'm here with
Speaker 1: my sci union Charmel Lee, who would like to speak
Speaker 1: to you as well. Hello, Charmeli. I'm a special ed
Speaker 1: assistance and UM, we're out here striking because of unfair practices.
Speaker 1: We're overworked, underpaid, lack of risk and no respect at all.
Speaker 1: You know. Um, you make this point Laurie earlier when
Speaker 1: we're speaking to you here, that you lost an aid
Speaker 1: to go find other worker. Didn't want to go do that.
Speaker 1: But you know, I'm reading in the La Times different
Speaker 1: quotes from different people that they've interviewed, and those quotes say,
Speaker 1: we're going to keep losing teachers and staff like special
Speaker 1: ed aids, custodians and others if we don't pay better.
Speaker 1: This isn't the best interest of our children. That's a
Speaker 1: quote from the Times this morning, interviewed. It's true we
Speaker 1: have so many unfilled positions that we just can't fail
Speaker 1: that which means that the apes that we do have
Speaker 1: have to do double work for low pay, and a
Speaker 1: lot of people don't understand that what a special assistant
Speaker 1: really does. We assisted teachers in diapering, We assisted teachers
Speaker 1: in reteaching what they already taught to the students were
Speaker 1: do your duty diaper changing. We're doing a lot. We
Speaker 1: have to do CPR, all these extra trainings. We have
Speaker 1: to do a lot, and we don't get paid to
Speaker 1: do these things. These things come out of our pockets
Speaker 1: and come out of our checks and time to do it.
Speaker 1: A lot of people think they look at the dollar
Speaker 1: amount that we make an hour, but we the only
Speaker 1: work six hours a day. I was homeless even on
Speaker 1: skid row while I work for LA Unified. I would
Speaker 1: have to wake up with my two children at four
Speaker 1: thirty in the morning to get to the job at
Speaker 1: eight am. We would be on three buses and a
Speaker 1: train for me to get to work with my kids.
Speaker 1: And they're talking about how how oh you guys are
Speaker 1: out here striking, But we are sacrificing a lot for
Speaker 1: our students because we love them when we care about them.
Speaker 1: And a lot of people that work for LA Unified,
Speaker 1: our parents of students that are in la unified schools.
Speaker 1: So they're saying, oh, you guys, we have a lot
Speaker 1: of students in poverty, but hey, la Usz, you guys
Speaker 1: are contributing to the poverty. It's unbelievable to hear your
Speaker 1: story about what you have to do to get to
Speaker 1: work every day with your own kids before you can
Speaker 1: get there to help other kids and go above and
Speaker 1: beyond it, you know, I mean exactly, you're not worth
Speaker 1: in six hours and it becomes it becomes your life,
Speaker 1: doesn't it. Exactly? We love the kid. We do this
Speaker 1: for the children. That's where that's where our love is
Speaker 1: right there. To see a child go from an instant
Speaker 1: like stage to just flourish and grow and be prosperous,
Speaker 1: it's something to see and something to be proud of.
Speaker 1: It's something just to I don't know, it feels good
Speaker 1: to help kids and that that didn't ask to be
Speaker 1: in the situation that there ends, and that we deserve
Speaker 1: a fair shouted life and a fair chance in this world. Well,
Speaker 1: we are so happy that you called in and could
Speaker 1: save all of this for everybody here, and I hope
Speaker 1: the right ears are listening right now, both of you.

Speaker 1: So they're doing something really cool. They're co owners brothers,
Speaker 1: and they first opened during the height of the pandemic.
Speaker 1: They were forced to shut down. Remember we were on
Speaker 1: the air talking about everything that was closed. Still I
Speaker 1: just remember like every day business owners calling us saying
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to close if people don't come in
Speaker 1: in the next week. And we're trying to promote you know,
Speaker 1: to come to that place to keep them open, to
Speaker 1: keep them alive. And so mcdowells was forced to shut down.
Speaker 1: Then they reopened, and when they reopened, they decided to
Speaker 1: do something a little bit more purpose and that's why
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about Highlight. Mcdowalls takes pride in
Speaker 1: participating in the Pacific Gateway mentoring programs for at risk
Speaker 1: youths between fourteen and eighteen. Hello, Caesar and Mitchell, Nice

Speaker 1: That's the problem. But I wanted to sort the Highlight.
Speaker 1: When you guys reopened out of the pandemic and I
Speaker 1: was talking about this here, you did it with a
Speaker 1: greater purpose in mind. Tell us about that, Caesar, Well,
Speaker 1: what we wanted to do, man, We do a mentoring
Speaker 1: program with the city here in Long Beach, specific Gayway,
Speaker 1: and what we wanted to do we wanted to bring
Speaker 1: the youth in and mentor them, but not only mentor them.
Speaker 1: We wanted to be able to give them tools to
Speaker 1: use in the future. Right. We wanted them to be
Speaker 1: able to take something from this experience and be able
Speaker 1: to use it, you know, down the line. Let you know,
Speaker 1: if they're if their life is hard, they need a job,
Speaker 1: they're going to know one thing they did get a
Speaker 1: skill set something they can use for the rest of
Speaker 1: their lives from mcdalso food and barbecue, and you work,
Speaker 1: you make money. You know. It's not like going to
Speaker 1: school and learner. Okay, it's actual life experience. You know.
Speaker 1: That's the thing I'm just thinking for for youth, many
Speaker 1: life skills, entrepreneur skills, um how to do it in
Speaker 1: the world of a working place. They don't teach that
Speaker 1: in school. That's no classroom. I mean there's a real void,
Speaker 1: I thought, right and that and that's what we're trying
Speaker 1: to cover, you know, Mention nine. A lot of people
Speaker 1: don't know this, but Mention nine lost our father to
Speaker 1: gun violence when we were kids. And one of the
Speaker 1: things that you know, our father was murdered at his
Speaker 1: business being robbed, right and we were left out there. Man.
Speaker 1: We had to figure it out. We had to figure
Speaker 1: out what we could do, you know, in order to
Speaker 1: make a living. So what we did know was everything
Speaker 1: that he taught us about business as a kid, and
Speaker 1: so that's what you know, grew with us as we
Speaker 1: got older, and that's what helps make us, you know,
Speaker 1: do what we do today. And so that's what we
Speaker 1: do for them. Caesar and Mitch here Mitchell McDowell McDowell's
Speaker 1: Soul Food and Barbecue restaurant in Long Beach. Now, you
Speaker 1: guys also have a nonprofit which offers affordable legal help
Speaker 1: to people. Yeah, we have a nonprofit organization called Unite
Speaker 1: the People INK, and we promote social justice throughout the
Speaker 1: United States as well as we provide affordable legal services
Speaker 1: to the underserved community. And we bring the kids in
Speaker 1: and we do a mentoring program with them there. Also,
Speaker 1: we have a facial spa called Amber m Aesthetics. It's
Speaker 1: in downtown Long Beach too, and my girlfriend and I
Speaker 1: and they we bring in the young women and she
Speaker 1: shows them everything about running the business there and it's
Speaker 1: it's a women empowerment thing going on there at Amber
Speaker 1: and Aesthetics. You guys are creating some great, great community
Speaker 1: energy in Long Beach. And not to mention that food looks,

Speaker 1: and the wetness and the traffic and the poddles and
Speaker 1: the closures and the striking. It's not a fun day
Speaker 1: to be in certain parts of Los Angeles this morning.
Speaker 1: And Amy, you're in West LA. You work for the
Speaker 1: school district. Tell me more about what you're doing this morning.
Speaker 1: A good morning, Ryan. So I just wanted to call
Speaker 1: in and for every teacher out there, every UTLA member,
Speaker 1: non SCIU member, who is listening, I just wanted to
Speaker 1: give a heart self thank you for supporting us, because
Speaker 1: never in the history that I've worked for the district
Speaker 1: has this all deart. He's been so strong and so
Speaker 1: anybody who's on their way to a strike liner has
Speaker 1: been up before the fund rose. I just want to
Speaker 1: say it sincere, thank you. Amy. You are in the
Speaker 1: middle of this, you've heard both sides. Where does this end?
Speaker 1: What happens next? The million dollar question. Well, we know
Speaker 1: that tomorrow is the last day of this strike, and
Speaker 1: we're hoping that the board makes a move and gives
Speaker 1: an equitable, fair offer that we can accept as a
Speaker 1: union because right now we're not there. M Well, everybody
Speaker 1: listening to hoping that we get there, and we get
Speaker 1: there soon, we get there fairly and like you said,
Speaker 1: with equitable pay. Thank you very much. Thank you for
Speaker 1: your time, Ryan, thank you for supporting you, thank you
Speaker 1: for listening. Bye, all right, take care, All right, let's
Speaker 1: grab Jasmine. I'm just rolling through these calls. If you
Speaker 1: want to call in here, it is eight hundred and
Speaker 1: five two one to two seven. Because you know, we've
Speaker 1: been on this show for I think two decades for
Speaker 1: me and for you guys pretty close to it as well.
Speaker 1: I mean you're seeing ups and downs with school districts
Speaker 1: here in southern California. This is a big one. This
Speaker 1: is a big one. And we've talked to teachers over
Speaker 1: the years, and I really appreciate all of them calling
Speaker 1: in who have said it just expressed their passion for
Speaker 1: their work and it's their life and they just want
Speaker 1: equality and fairness. And Jasmine, you're in LA. You're a
Speaker 1: special ed teacher on your way to picket. Tell me
Speaker 1: how you're doing this morning. I'm doing good. I'm saddling
Speaker 1: the elements to go and fight for what I believe
Speaker 1: it's there and equal for everyone. H And when you
Speaker 1: get there this morning, what do you expect on the
Speaker 1: picket line today? I expect to be surrounded by my
Speaker 1: co workers and friends and people that I consider family
Speaker 1: that took me in when I lived a new teacher,
Speaker 1: and they showed me the ropes, and I'm joining them
Speaker 1: just as I what anybody else. You know, it's it's
Speaker 1: not really fair. We have to do what we have
Speaker 1: to do just to gain that respect. But we're gonna
Speaker 1: do it, and we're gonna do it for however long
Speaker 1: it takes to get what we truly deserve. And that's
Speaker 1: what's fair as their contracts, their wages, fair everything for everyone. Yes,
Speaker 1: I know, and the district that doesn't work just as hard.
Speaker 1: I got to see it from a teacher's perspective. I'm
Speaker 1: also an LAUSD parent, so I know patriots work so
Speaker 1: hard to provide the best education they can for our kids.
Speaker 1: And you know what, I'm gonna fight for that. Well,
Speaker 1: we appreciate you fighting for it. We appreciate it. Thank
Speaker 1: you very much. JASM, good luck today, Thank you so much. Okay,
Speaker 1: and be careful those elements. It's kind of a mess. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's safe, all right, thank you. You know, I just
Speaker 1: want to give you a perspective of what I'm seeing here.
Speaker 1: We have twelve, literally twelve phone lines that can ring
Speaker 1: all at once. Every single one of them is ringing
Speaker 1: saying the same thing, respect and fairness, every single one
Speaker 1: of them. I'm looking at different parts of LAUSD. I
Speaker 1: can see on the screen, different schools, different areas, different
Speaker 1: picket lines, but every single call and I can't put
Speaker 1: all twelve lines on at once, but if I could,
Speaker 1: that's what you'd hear, the same thing. That they feel disrespected.
Speaker 1: That's a that's a that's a that's a bad feeling
Speaker 1: to get up and go to work and teach the
Speaker 1: youth and have to put that in the back of
Speaker 1: your in the back of your head and try to
Speaker 1: not think about that, try to not think about how
Speaker 1: you feel disrespected at your job, and teach these young children. Now.
Speaker 1: So I'm just looking here in the latest district. What
Speaker 1: is the districts saying. The district says they've made the
Speaker 1: best offer they've ever made to a union and are
Speaker 1: willing to return to the table. So let's make a deal. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, let's get to the table and make a deal,
Speaker 1: and a good one. It's all they're asking first, fair
Speaker 1: with respect. On Air with Ryan Seacrest. Okay, sistne you
Speaker 1: take it up to eleven. I sure, am. That's gonna
Speaker 1: wrap it up for us. It's morn tomorrow. It's an
