How many years ago was the first year 62 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 2: that you shot vander Pump Rules. 63 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 3: So I've been on TV fourteen years now, so fourteen 64 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 3: years prior to this. 65 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: So yeah, so y, you're a veteran. 66 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 2: So how much more conscience are you of what you're doing, 67 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 2: how it's going to show up, how it's going to 68 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 2: be edited then. Now obviously being a veteran that you 69 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 2: are than when you first started. 70 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 3: It's night and day. You know, the game has changed, 71 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 3: as you know, the world has changed. You could get 72 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 3: away with a lot more back in the day when 73 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 3: we started. You know, they're really you know, you didn't 74 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 3: have to hold back basically, you know, you got to 75 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 3: be a little bit more mindful. Now. Obviously times have change, 76 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 3: and as they should have, they should change. You know, 77 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 3: there's there's things that shouldn't be tolerated anymore, so you 78 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 3: have to be very mindful. You know, you're you're trying 79 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 3: to be mindful, but you're also trying to make good TV. 80 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 3: And you're also just trying to watch what you're doing, 81 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 3: make good TV, not disappoint anybody, not be disrespectful. But 82 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 3: you're still caught in a scene that you've got to 83 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 3: get your point across and your anger or whatever. But 84 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 3: you got to be mindful. It's really hard now, it 85 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 3: is really really hard because you want to give a 86 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 3: good product. You know, you want to you want the 87 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 3: fans to see a good product. And I've been a 88 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,919 Speaker 3: certain way for so long. You want to call me 89 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 3: the villain or whatever, but at the end of the day, 90 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 3: I think I say what's on my mind. I really 91 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 3: don't have a filter. I don't really hold back and 92 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,039 Speaker 3: I never really have. You know, the last thing in 93 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 3: the world I want right now is for people to 94 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 3: see what they're seeing on TV. I mean, that's how 95 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 3: you know our show is authentic, because if I could 96 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 3: take away something right now, it would be what watched 97 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 3: last week. That was pretty much as close to rock 98 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 3: bottom as you can possibly get. And I'm so ashamed 99 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 3: of this. I knew this this episode was coming out. 100 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 3: I've been waiting for months and months and months for 101 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 3: that last episode to come out. Was very nervous about it, 102 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 3: was scared about it. But you know what, I have 103 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 3: to think of the silver lining here. Not many people 104 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 3: get to relive what they saw and be like, wow, 105 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 3: I was a very bad person there. I've worked so 106 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 3: hard on myself to get to where I'm at today, 107 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 3: and I can look back and be like, I never 108 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 3: want to be that again. You know, it's kind of 109 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 3: a reminder of that's who you used to be. I 110 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 3: don't even recognize that person anymore. It was a shell 111 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 3: of a human being. I'm just it's disgusting, it's disgusting 112 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 3: how I acted now where my feelings warranted. Absolutely, I 113 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,720 Speaker 3: was one hundred percent was upset and I had every 114 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 3: right to be upset. It's how I handled it was wrong. 115 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: I hear you, and I agree. 116 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 2: And what you have done on the fourteen years of 117 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 2: being on TV is not a normal thing to have 118 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 2: these pivot years sort of growing up in front of 119 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 2: the camera is crazy to have, you know, being a 120 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 2: single guy, a bartender just kind of finding his way 121 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 2: into you know, all the fighting and the yelling and 122 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 2: the screaming and the highs and the lows and the 123 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 2: you know, the cheating and all the shit when you 124 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 2: look back at it, you know, like for me, when 125 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,799 Speaker 2: I think of things that I regret, they're in my memory. 126 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 2: They're not on like a literal a full episode of 127 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 2: the shows.

Normally, normally I just go about about my day. 176 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 3: I don't really, I don't really pay attention the last 177 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 3: fourteen years, I don't pay attention to it unless I 178 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 3: have a watch party or something like that at my bar. 179 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 3: You know, I'll be running around or whatever for last 180 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 3: week's episode. I knew how bad it was going to be. 181 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 3: I knew, and like I said, I've gotten ideas of 182 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 3: what the episodes are going to be like. And I 183 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 3: knew out of the fourteen years of me being on 184 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 3: TV that this was going to be the darkest episode 185 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 3: of my life. You know, you can't put toothpaste back 186 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 3: into tube. I can only look back at that and say, 187 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 3: you know what, I'm sorry, I'm disgusted with myself. I 188 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 3: was in a very very, very very bad place. I 189 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 3: can't stress you enough. Between the drugs, the alcohol, the divorce, 190 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 3: the bipolar, the OCD. I mean, I was going through 191 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,719 Speaker 3: a lot. And I'm not using this as a reason to, 192 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 3: you know, make my actions better, because my actions weren't okay. 193 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 3: But just keep in mind, I was on a lot 194 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 3: of things while I was going through this and going 195 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,599 Speaker 3: through a divorce and finding out that my wife was 196 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 3: hooking up with one of my best friends. You know, 197 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 3: I'm it was just I saw red. I saw red 198 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 3: when I found this out. And when you see pictures 199 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 3: of your wife, naked pictures everybody's sending to your friend, 200 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 3: When you see text messages going out that are just 201 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 3: after being with somebody for ten years. It just it 202 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,599 Speaker 3: hurt me. Did I push her away? Absolutely? It was 203 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 3: one hundred percent my fault. But I just I couldn't 204 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 3: handle it. Man. I was a bull who saw red 205 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 3: and I was just on one and I couldn't be stopped. 206 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 3: That's the best way I can put it was I 207 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 3: was spiraling out of control and nobody could stop me. Nobody, nobody, 208 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 3: And I just kept doing more drugs, I kept drinking more. 209 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 3: I sat in my house because Brittany left. I did 210 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 3: more drugs, I did more drinking, I did more going out. 211 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 3: I was erratic. I was erratic with myself, with other girls. 212 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 3: I was what else I mean, I can't even you know. 213 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 3: It was just an utter, utter disaster. And I stopped 214 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 3: paying my mortgage. I did everything. I just wanted it 215 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 3: to end. I just wanted it to end. I was 216 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 3: not And this is the first time that I'm saying 217 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 3: this like that, was very close to just calling it 218 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 3: a day, calling it a day. I was so at 219 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,199 Speaker 3: the bottom of my barrel, and I've never been there before. 220 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 3: I've had some rough seasons on Banner Pump, okay, whatever, 221 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 3: you know, but this one different. Steaks though, with different steaks. 222 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 3: I have a child, I have a wife, and I 223 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 3: just didn't want to be here anymore. I just thought, 224 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 3: you know what, I just don't there's nothing left to 225 00:10:58,880 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 3: live for. 226 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 2: You know, I told you this off camera.

I haven't 339 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 3: been on my social media because you know, that's where 340 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 3: the anger can lie if you go into that. But 341 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 3: you know, other than the episode two, I'm really good. 342 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 3: You know, there's things that upset me. You know, I 343 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 3: got a lot of people that don't like me right now, 344 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 3: and it's understandable in. 345 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 2: Real life or in the show in regards to the valley, 346 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 2: or like in real life or both both both I got. 347 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 3: I got a lot of people who don't like me 348 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 3: right now, and that's okay, that's understandable. I just hope 349 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 3: that people can be patient with me. And you know, 350 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 3: I'm like a cat who hit is nine lives. I 351 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 3: hit my last one. I hit the last eight. When 352 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 3: I was on Vanner Pump and season two of the 353 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 3: valley was my ninth life, and I bit them all. 354 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 3: And I think I've gotten away with a lot over 355 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 3: the years, and I think it was just time to 356 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 3: pay my dues well. 357 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 2: I just wish you peace and the best, to be 358 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 2: the best dad and the best ex husband's That's. 359 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 3: All I care about, is just being a really good dad. 360 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 3: I love my son more than anything in the world, 361 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 3: and I just want I moved. I'm a mile away 362 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 3: from Brittany. I got a house some mile a poundhouse 363 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 3: a mile away. I'm there whenever she needs me, if 364 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 3: the for the baby or whatever, or the house eats 365 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 3: something fixed or whatever. I'm always there, taking care of 366 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 3: her car, whatever she means. Even though she doesn't like 367 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 3: me very much. Right now, I'm just going to keep 368 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 3: doing what I'm doing because it makes me happy. I'm 369 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,919 Speaker 3: not looking for overnight. It's all better because it's going 370 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 3: to take some time because I've done a lot of damage. 371 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,360 Speaker 3: I'm not only good damage to her, but I've done 372 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 3: damage to myself. You remember, I've been using for twenty 373 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 3: plus years and on and off, and it just got 374 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,120 Speaker 3: really bad the last year. And you know, I hung 375 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 3: it up, you know, and I turned it off, but 376 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 3: I realized that drugs and alcohol are a very small 377 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,159 Speaker 3: portion of my problems. I think my drug of choice 378 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 3: is validation. You know, I look for validation. I look 379 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 3: to for people to like me. I feel like I 380 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,680 Speaker 3: do things sometimes to make other people happy and not myself. 381 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 3: I'm always worried on what people think of me. You know, 382 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,439 Speaker 3: I'm a master manipulator at telling the half truth. You know, 383 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 3: I'm sick. I have a disease, and you know it's 384 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 3: not an easy fix and it's never going to be fixed. 385 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,199 Speaker 3: I just have to really really work at it. But 386 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 3: I'm very aware of what I've done. I take full 387 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 3: accountability of everything that I've done. But it's gonna take time. 388 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 3: It's not a quick fix. 389 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: Well, I appreciate this honesty, Jackson. 390 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 2: I want to pivot to a little bit more lighthearted, 391 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,360 Speaker 2: you know, just shit talking, because, like I said, I'm 392 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 2: such a. 393 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: Fan of the new show, although it's fucking dark. 394 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,439 Speaker 2: I think the valley in general, not the show, The 395 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 2: valley of the place is dark. It's just a dark place. 396 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 2: It can be bleak and lonely. I think that you've 397 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 2: kept it real, for better or for worse. On the 398 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 2: shows going into vander Pump if you kept it the realist, 399 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 2: who kept it the fakest. 400 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 3: I don't want to get in trouble for saying this, 401 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 3: and this is not a dig at this person. She 402 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 3: just got away with it. I think Tom Sandoval Arianna 403 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 3: kind of skated through other than when I was on 404 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 3: When I was on it after whatever, but when I 405 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 3: was on it, I think they skated through. I think everybody, myself, Katie, Stacy, Kristen, 406 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 3: we all put everything out there, like we literally put 407 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,159 Speaker 3: all everything out there. We got eaten alive on social media, 408 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,400 Speaker 3: but we all put everything out there, and I think 409 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 3: sometimes if I look back and again, this is not 410 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 3: a dig because it doesn't really matter. I think Tom 411 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,959 Speaker 3: and Arianna kind of came together and never aired out 412 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 3: their dirty laundry. I think, you know, they just skated 413 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 3: by and just kind of got to poke Prad and 414 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,399 Speaker 3: all of everybody else's issues and they never brought up 415 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 3: their own issues, which kind of wasn't fair. You know, 416 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 3: when you sign up for reality TV, you sign up 417 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 3: for the whole thing, And I mean, look, do you 418 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 3: think honestly I want people to see what they're seeing 419 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 3: right now? Like the last thing I fucking want is 420 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 3: for people to see what they just saw last week, 421 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 3: like it's it was like I've been having panic attacks 422 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,360 Speaker 3: about it. So that's how you know, like this shit 423 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,880 Speaker 3: is real, Like this is real shit. I put everything 424 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,360 Speaker 3: into this and it's really it fucks with you, man, 425 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,639 Speaker 3: it really really does it. You know. And if you 426 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 3: watch the old seasons of vanderpump Man, I got eaten 427 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 3: alive on a lot of episodes. I mean I got 428 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 3: eaten a live on more seasons than I did up 429 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 3: by positive ones. But you know what, I put everything 430 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 3: out there. I didn't have a film and I said 431 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 3: what was on my mind. You either liked me or 432 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 3: you didn't. I didn't give a fuck in those days, 433 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,639 Speaker 3: and those days I didn't care. I was trying to 434 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 3: make a good television show and if I knew something, 435 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 3: I was gonna fucking say it. I didn't come together 436 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 3: with my significant other and be like, Okay, we're not 437 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 3: going to talk about this, We're not going to do this, 438 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 3: and I'm not going to skate by. So I did think. 439 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 2: You were getting yours when you first got casts in 440 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 2: vander pump Rules. First of all, remind me and remind 441 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 2: of the listeners, What were you doing in Los Angeles 442 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 2: at the time? Like, what were your hopes and dreams 443 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 2: when you were in Los Angeles? And then what did 444 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 2: you think you were getting yourself into when vander Pump 445 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,400 Speaker 2: Rules started. 446 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,360 Speaker 3: I'm gonna be honest with you. I didn't have any 447 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 3: many oaps and dreams. I was working at Sir, I 448 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 3: was in between. I was modeling full time. I was 449 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 3: making a really good living modeling, and I didn't want 450 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 3: to do it anymore. So I was thirty years old, 451 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 3: I want to think. I think I was thirty when 452 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 3: I stopped. And then I was dating Stasse at the time, 453 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 3: and she's like, what are you gonna do now? You 454 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 3: need to get a job or something. I'm like, I 455 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:54,919 Speaker 3: don't fucking know what to do with myself. She's like, 456 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 3: why don't you come work and bartend at Sir?

We just came in for a meet, 501 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 3: you know. So you're going to get an organic show. 502 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 3: You're gonna get whether or not the show was airing. 503 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,479 Speaker 3: All this was going on anyway. In fact, when we 504 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 3: were when we were not filming, they would get really upset, 505 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,479 Speaker 3: the producers and brab and all that. They're like, are 506 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 3: they hanging out? Are they talking to each other? Because yeah, 507 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 3: we we literally we all lived together. We were with 508 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 3: eachach other every single day. We all dated each other. 509 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 3: It was very incestuous, but then they would be like, no, 510 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 3: you can't talk to him today. I'm like, wait a minute, 511 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 3: I talk to him every day. Don't disrupt our lives, 512 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 3: because then it becomes fake, you know. So then they 513 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 3: just they would add just more episodes because they knew 514 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 3: we were hanging out so much, and they just like, bot, 515 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 3: let's add more episodes, add more episodes. So it was 516 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 3: so organic and so real and so like the camera 517 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 3: guys would just show up and turn the cameras on. 518 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,160 Speaker 3: There was no you got to go here, you got 519 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 3: to do this. It wasn't like that at all. And 520 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 3: I feel like you'll never ever be able to create 521 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 3: such a dynamic group of people again, such a core 522 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 3: group of friends. Now. Has the dynamic changed over the 523 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 3: years or the last fourteen years. Yeah, we don't all 524 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 3: see each other. Every life goes on, we all have kids, 525 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 3: get married, move apart. But I tell you what, there's 526 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 3: some people I don't talk to anymore or whatever. But 527 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 3: I got a phone call tomorrow from Sass, who I 528 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 3: haven't talked to, from Bo, from Ariana. I would be 529 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 3: there in a heartbeat. I would be there in a heartbeat. 530 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 3: All things aside, whether how we ever, feel for each other. 531 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 3: If somebody needed me tomorrow, I would be there in 532 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 3: a heartbeat. Part no problem, no questions asked. 533 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: Do you think that would ever happen? 534 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 2: Where like you guys did where they got the ogs, 535 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 2: the whole crew, the best of the best of vander Pump, 536 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 2: whether it's in a year or two years, and like, yo, 537 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 2: we're gonna shoot for two weeks and I don't know 538 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 2: fucking Hawaii or we're gonna you know, White Lotus It 539 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 2: and go to Thailand and you know, and you know, 540 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 2: hash out old things, new things. You know, you bring kids. 541 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 2: Kristin Doty, do you think that could happen? 542 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 3: How did you just crawl in my brain? Because I've 543 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 3: already talked about this with mister Baskin already, and I'm like, 544 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,880 Speaker 3: I already see it, Like maybe between two and five 545 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,439 Speaker 3: years you kind of bring everyone back and do exactly 546 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 3: what you said, White Lotus It. Let's all go away 547 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 3: for two weeks, just film the shit out of it 548 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 3: for two weeks and see what happens. I think it 549 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 3: would be great just to see where everybody is, to 550 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 3: see everybody's relationships, who's grown, who has it, where, who 551 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 3: has kids, whose kids are moving? Around. I think it 552 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 3: would be a genius idea, and I honestly think it'll 553 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,199 Speaker 3: probably I don't see it not happening, but it just 554 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,160 Speaker 3: depends on, Like, I think it's got to take at least, 555 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:12,920 Speaker 3: you know, between two and five years. Let's take a 556 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 3: little bit of break with what happened, and then let's 557 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 3: revisit it. But I don't I think it's a genius idea. 558 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 3: It's a genius idea, definitely. I like the idea of 559 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 3: us going to an island somewhere and secluded and not 560 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 3: any outside noise, because sometimes we get influenced, especially now 561 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,160 Speaker 3: since vanderpupp Rules in the Valley are so popular. It's 562 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 3: kind of like, you know, when the Kardashians got so busy, 563 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 3: it was hard to film anywhere because people recognize and 564 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 3: that it gets tough, it gets difficult. So I think 565 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 3: putting us on an island, like a white lotus type 566 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:40,360 Speaker 3: of thing would be so awesome. 567 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:43,919 Speaker 1: It would be I think you guys need to do it. 568 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: To listen the fans. 569 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,439 Speaker 2: When they said that Vanderpup Rules was ending last year, 570 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 2: I was like, no, the fucking thing needs to keep going, 571 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,919 Speaker 2: like until you're eighty seven, Like when you fucking have 572 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 2: your own bars and people aren't fucking walkers, Like, just 573 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 2: keep filming the whole You've already filmed enough, Like, keep 574 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 2: fucking going. 575 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 3: I think you know what. I had mixed feelings about it. 576 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 3: You know, it's it's it's one of those things. I 577 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,640 Speaker 3: feel like they just had to close the book. You know, 578 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 3: everybody's getting older, people are getting married, people are having kids, 579 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 3: And that's kind of why how I decided I wanted 580 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,400 Speaker 3: to do the Valley. It was during COVID when I said, hey, 581 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 3: I want to come back to TV. And I called 582 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 3: Alex Basking and I said, hey, can you meet me somewhere? 583 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 3: I have an idea. We sat at the hotel for 584 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,680 Speaker 3: We sat in a hotel for three hours. It was 585 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,399 Speaker 3: a cold, wintery night. This is again, right after COVID. 586 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,439 Speaker 3: I wasn't on TV and I said, hey, listen, I 587 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 3: took two years off, you know, I was let go 588 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 3: from Vanderpump and now I'm and I'm like, hey, listen, 589 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 3: I think it's time to come back to TV. I 590 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,400 Speaker 3: have this idea. Now, this idea was thrown around a lot, 591 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 3: but no one, every no one ever took any action 592 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 3: to do it. So I was like, I'm going to 593 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,880 Speaker 3: make this happen. So I said, hey, listen, I got 594 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 3: a core group of friends here that I really hang 595 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 3: out with that I really like, we all in the valley. Now, 596 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 3: we're all we're all married, having kids, kind of starting 597 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:58,680 Speaker 3: the next chapter of our lives. I don't want to 598 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,880 Speaker 3: say housewives. We're not housewives yet, but we're not vanter Pump. 599 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 3: We're kind of in that middle, you know, we're kind 600 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 3: of graduated from vander Pump onto the next chapter, which 601 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,399 Speaker 3: whatever you want to call in the middle of housewives 602 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 3: and vander Pump something like that. So I was like, 603 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 3: you know, I have a core group of people and 604 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 3: the people that are on the show that people don't 605 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 3: other than myself, Brittany and Kristen. People always want to 606 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,199 Speaker 3: know where they came from. They've always been around. They 607 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 3: were always invited to the Vanderpunt, you know, throughout the 608 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 3: years vander Pump rules, we would have parties or they 609 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:28,959 Speaker 3: would have people at the bar or whatever. So all 610 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 3: these people were always in the background of vanderr Pump. 611 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,199 Speaker 3: They were always our friends. They just weren't casted on 612 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,439 Speaker 3: the show, so they kind of knew what was going on. 613 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,959 Speaker 3: They knew how to play the game. They're friends with 614 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 3: all of us if they're in our group, and it 615 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,159 Speaker 3: just made sense. And I wanted to bring people on 616 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 3: that that I thought would fit this dynamic well. And 617 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 3: I think we did a pretty good job. You know 618 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 3: it be myself, my manager Ryan and Alex Baskin. We 619 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,679 Speaker 3: kind of, you know, worked all this out, work this magic, 620 00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 3: stirred it up and kind of pitched it to the 621 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,439 Speaker 3: network and you know they loved it. 622 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's heating up and you talk about you know, 623 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 2: they know the game, they know the drill. 624 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 1: The revamp of vander Pump Rules. 625 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,719 Speaker 2: If a twenty one year old kid who was just 626 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 2: got cast on a show that takes place in a 627 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 2: bar in West Hollywood came up to be like, hey man, yo, 628 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,160 Speaker 2: I'm a bartend.

I met two of them at the gym, 636 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 3: and it just so. They came up to me and 637 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 3: they said, hey, are you Jackson.

These guys 642 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 3: are half my age, and now get back into it. 643 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 3: They're like, hey, if you have any have any suggestions 644 00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 3: for us on how to go through this world of 645 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 3: what you guys created, I'm gonna tell you said listen, 646 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 3: I'm just gonna let you guys know right now, you're 647 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 3: never gonna beat or recreate banter pup rules. It's not 648 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 3: gonna happen. And I'm saying this because I don't want 649 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 3: you guys to try so hard to try to outdo 650 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 3: what was done.

You guys need to make this your show. 652 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 3: Don't try to worry about if you're making them happy 653 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 3: or trying to beat the other show. That's what I 654 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 3: was trying to say to them. I don't know if that 655 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 3: makes sense. You guys, create your own project, create your 656 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 3: own product. Do what's good for you. The world was 657 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 3: a very different place when we started Vanterpump Rules. What 658 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 3: we did doesn't really work today, So the generations are different. 659 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 3: Times are different. You can't you'll never be able to 660 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 3: recreate that. So just do what's good for you, be honest. 661 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 3: That's me saying that out of all people, I should 662 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 3: take my own fucking advice. Be honest, because you will 663 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 3: never ever get away with a lie. On reality TV, 664 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 3: people know everything and things always come out. Be authentic, 665 00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 3: don't overact. People who watch reality TV nowadays are very 666 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 3: very smart.

Like you said, be real, be honest, 678 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 2: you can't lie. You know all that stuff Like to me, 679 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 2: it just seems like I watched the show so much 680 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 2: and I've seen people sort of you know, they in 681 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,719 Speaker 2: hindsight they go, well, I didn't come off that way, 682 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 2: or I shouldn't have came off of this, and. 683 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: They didn't use this. Is that frustrating? Like you know, 684 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 1: like in terms of like the tricks of the trade 685 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: of it. Well, you know. 686 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 3: Again again, I know how to do it because I've 687 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 3: been doing this for fourteen years, So I know in 688 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 3: my head when I'm filming scene, I know how they're 689 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 3: gonna In my head, I think I know how they're 690 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 3: going to play this out right, I. 691 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: Know are you you're shooting now? 692 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 3: Well, now I am. I've been doing this for fourteen years. 693 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 3: Like I said, I'm aware of how this is going 694 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 3: to play out. And we all are, the whole cast 695 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 3: knows how. We're all Like I said, we've been doing 696 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 3: it for a long time. So we're automatically going to 697 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 3: micro manage our brains. We automatically know how a scene 698 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 3: is going to go. We automatically kind of can see 699 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 3: how it's going to play out. It's not that we 700 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 3: want to do it, it's just we're so programmed in 701 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,480 Speaker 3: it now. We were so taught, we're so like brainwashed 702 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,959 Speaker 3: on how things are going to work that it's just 703 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 3: it's easy for us to do now the new cast. 704 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 3: Like when you're watching reality TV. If you watch any show, right, 705 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 3: you want to come off good, but then sometimes you're 706 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 3: so in your head about how you want to come 707 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 3: off that you end up coming off like shit. And 708 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 3: I don't Obviously, over the years, I don't give a shit, 709 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,959 Speaker 3: Like I have no filter, and I feel like that 710 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,240 Speaker 3: was who I am and people appreciate the fact that 711 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 3: I call people out.
