Speaker 1: And so thank you in... Thank you. Now, before we
1:51
Speaker 1: get into the timeline of events that have brought us
1:53
Speaker 1: to this moment together, we do have to maybe go
1:57
Speaker 1: over your impression of Jax and Brittany versus my impression
2:01
Speaker 1: of Jax and Brittany, because it's going to color our commentary. Definitely.
2:06
Speaker 1: I hate this couple, personally. I think they are the worst.
2:10
Speaker 1: They're like a toxic.
2:12
Speaker 2: match made in heaven like they're just really awful together
2:15
Speaker 2: I think they bring the worst out in each other
2:17
Speaker 2: I also think that Brittany in my opinion is like
2:21
Speaker 2: addicted to the drama at this point and I don't
2:24
Speaker 2: want to like come off like I'm victim blaming because
2:27
Speaker 2: I do think that she has been abused by Jax
2:29
Speaker 2: at this point um for many many years but at
2:32
Speaker 2: the same time I just feel like she can't let
2:35
Speaker 2: him go I feel like she's always addicted to causing
2:39
Speaker 2: some kind of drama with him And, you know, when
2:41
Speaker 2: you're in this toxic, abusive cycle with someone for so
2:44
Speaker 2: many years, of course you're going to be kind of
2:46
Speaker 2: addicted to this drama. And I think Jax is like
2:49
Speaker 2: a literal piece of human shit. Like he's such an
2:52
Speaker 2: awful person. I really worry about their kid, Cruz, and
2:57
Speaker 2: having to be in this dynamic with their parents.
3:00
Speaker 1: Like, can you imagine?
3:02
Speaker 2: Can you imagine having parents like Brittany and Jax Taylor?
3:04
Speaker 1: Plus, Cruz is autistic. Yeah. And so he's probably got
3:08
Speaker 1: some sensory things going on. I don't know. But imagine
3:11
Speaker 1: being in a toxic, volatile situation and also, you know,
3:15
Speaker 1: being on the spectrum. It sounds terrifying.
3:17
Speaker 2: Horrible.
3:19
Speaker 1: So I'm going to be the person here that is
3:23
Speaker 1: just going to be coming for Brittany the entire time
3:25
Speaker 1: because I just can't stand Brittany now. And obviously, Jax
3:29
Speaker 1: ain't shit. Yeah. Jax has, in my opinion, had a
3:33
Speaker 1: longstanding substance issue, probably cocaine. It gives him rage. It
3:38
Speaker 1: makes him do terrible and apparently, according to Brittany, violent things.
3:43
Speaker 1: He's a terrible partner. He's a cheater. He's an awful guy.
3:46
Speaker 1: And so I'm just going to, I'm just going to
3:48
Speaker 1: accept that and absolutely agree with it. But I would
3:50
Speaker 1: just contend that Brittany is equally as bad. Maybe not
3:53
Speaker 1: equally because I don't know that she's ever physically done
3:55
Speaker 1: anything to Jax, but she's just really bad too. I've
4:00
Speaker 1: never liked her even when she was on Vanderpump Rules
4:02
Speaker 1: in those early years, which I know you didn't see
4:05
Speaker 1: because she was such a pick me and a try hard.
4:08
Speaker 1: And as we, or some of us know, you know,
4:10
Speaker 1: she actually flew from Kentucky to Las Vegas because she
4:13
Speaker 1: knew Jax was going to be there and sought Jax out,
4:16
Speaker 1: inserted herself into Jax's life in order to start up
4:20
Speaker 1: a relationship with him. And then she inserted herself onto
4:24
Speaker 1: Vanderpump Rules and now here she is, still on our
4:27
Speaker 1: television sets. I think that she lacks character. I can't
4:32
Speaker 1: help but bring up how when they were going to
4:34
Speaker 1: get married, their first officiant was her minister, and he
4:38
Speaker 1: had made a bunch of homophobic remarks publicly. And I
4:41
Speaker 1: think it was Tom and Ariana who called Jax and
4:46
Speaker 1: Brittany out about it. And I think Tom and Jax
4:49
Speaker 1: almost came to blows over it because Jax and Brittany
4:53
Speaker 1: were 10 toes down defending this homophobic pastor. And ultimately,
4:58
Speaker 1: they had to swap out officiants. I think it was
5:00
Speaker 1: Lance Bass who ended up officiating their wedding. I could
5:04
Speaker 1: be wrong about that. But like, it just speaks to
5:07
Speaker 1: this larger character issue. I think Brittany's a drunk, allegedly,
5:11
Speaker 1: in my opinion. I just remember season one and two
5:14
Speaker 1: of The Valley with her barfing out in their driveway.
5:18
Speaker 1: Or they'd go on these cast trips and she'd be
5:20
Speaker 1: drunk the entire time and belligerent. And I just like,
5:23
Speaker 1: she's not a great person. These people together make up
5:27
Speaker 1: a not great people sandwich. I don't like her. And
5:32
Speaker 1: so that's my opinion going into this information you're about
5:35
Speaker 1: to present us with, Beatrice.
5:37
Speaker 2: Yeah.
5:37
Speaker 1: So don't get all offended. This is your warning. Yeah.
5:40
Speaker 2: If y'all don't like our opinions, then leave.
5:42
Speaker 1: Everybody can catch these hats. Holy shit.
5:43
Speaker 2: Everybody. Everyone. So... Brittany and Jax, for those of you
5:48
Speaker 2: who don't know, they were on the beginning of The Valley,
5:52
Speaker 2: which we did cover season two of The Valley recently.
5:55
Speaker 2: And one. And one. But we covered season two on Patreon, too.
5:58
Speaker 2: So if you guys want to see that recent coverage,
6:00
Speaker 2: go over there. We didn't cover season three because fuck
6:02
Speaker 2: that shit.
6:03
Speaker 1: Honestly, our coverage of season two was like a humiliation
6:06
Speaker 1: ritual that somebody was putting us through because I hated
6:09
Speaker 1: it so much. It was so toxic. I hated just
6:11
Speaker 1: about everybody. I certainly hated Jax and Brittany. I hated Janet.
6:14
Speaker 1: I hated Janet. And you know what I heard?
6:16
Speaker 2: I heard season three is even worse because Janet is
6:20
Speaker 2: now looking like a good guy.
6:21
Speaker 1: Yeah.
6:21
Speaker 2: And Danny and Nia are looking like the worst couple ever.
6:25
Speaker 1: Well, apparently Danny, who has been called out by the
6:28
Speaker 1: group for being potentially an alcoholic, but certainly inappropriate while drinking,
6:33
Speaker 1: just continued drinking. to drink throughout the entire season and
6:36
Speaker 1: treat Nia like trash. And I guess Luke also treated
6:41
Speaker 1: Kristen like crap. So it was very negative. The entire
6:45
Speaker 1: thing was about Nia and Danny. And then at the
6:48
Speaker 1: end of the season, I think last week they came
6:49
Speaker 1: out and Danny and Nia said they're not coming back
6:52
Speaker 1: for the next season. And then Janet posted on her
6:55
Speaker 1: stories this gloating selfie. Like, oh yeah, we got him
6:59
Speaker 1: kicked off the show. I just, I cannot.
7:03
Speaker 2: Stan janet the valley is really like way too toxic
7:06
Speaker 2: for us at this point.
7:06
Speaker 1: Very toxic honestly i was pissed the entire.
7:09
Speaker 2: Time we were covering it's like not even fun to
7:10
Speaker 2: watch because these people are just so mean and so
7:13
Speaker 2: toxic now lala and sheena are on it and i'm
7:15
Speaker 2: like i.
7:15
Speaker 1: Just don't care just call it vanderpump i don't care
7:17
Speaker 1: call it vanderpump rules what are we doing vanderpump rules
7:20
Speaker 1: for elder millennials you've got britney you've got lala you're
7:24
Speaker 1: gonna have Brock and Sheena, Brock with his big old
7:28
Speaker 1: block head. For real. I just, I can't watch it.
7:31
Speaker 1: It's just toxic.
7:32
Speaker 2: So the last season we covered was Valley season two.
7:34
Speaker 1: And this is when.
7:35
Speaker 2: Brittany and Jax finally separated. They separated in January of 2024,
7:41
Speaker 2: ultimately filed for divorce in August of 2024. And since then,
7:46
Speaker 2: they've kind of been behind the scenes, likely arguing about,
7:50
Speaker 2: you know, divorce negotiations and how to separate their finances
7:53
Speaker 2: and custody and everything.
7:55
Speaker 1: And that's another thing about Brittany that I just have
7:57
Speaker 1: to mention. She's so dumb. So dumb. You are so dumb.
8:00
Speaker 1: Are you really so digmatized by Jax Taylor? that you're
8:04
Speaker 1: willing to roll in his IRS debt, which exceeds $ 1 million,
8:09
Speaker 1: into the mortgage of your home where you are raising
8:12
Speaker 1: your special needs child and then agree to pay that
8:15
Speaker 1: all off yourself? Like, do you have no financial literacy
8:19
Speaker 1: at all? And now you want to complain about it.
8:21
Speaker 1: After you chose to do it, sign the papers and
8:23
Speaker 1: agree to the entire thing. Now you want to bitch
8:25
Speaker 1: about it. You think Jax is going to pay you anything? No. Like,
8:28
Speaker 1: come on.
8:29
Speaker 2: What have you learned in your time with this, in
8:31
Speaker 2: your relationship with this person? Like, I just don't understand.
8:34
Speaker 2: And so in March of this year, 2026, they finally
8:37
Speaker 2: reached a custody agreement with their son, Cruz. It looks
8:41
Speaker 2: like Jax and Brittany now have joint and legal custody
8:45
Speaker 2: of their son, which is kind of interesting to me
8:47
Speaker 2: because I feel like Jax probably shouldn't have custody of
8:50
Speaker 2: his kid. Just given his history of substance abuse and
8:53
Speaker 2: anger issues, that's just my opinion. And you can come
8:56
Speaker 2: for me if you want.
8:57
Speaker 1: Right. But are there police reports verifying previous domestic violence incidents?
9:01
Speaker 1: Like what kind of document trail is there i don't
9:04
Speaker 1: think there's much of one until very recently when the
9:07
Speaker 1: restraining orders came out but like.
9:10
Speaker 2: I don't know just judging from his behavior on season
9:12
Speaker 2: two of the valley i wouldn't really trust my kid
9:15
Speaker 2: with him but whatever.
9:16
Speaker 1: I would try to mandate that he would be drug
9:19
Speaker 1: tested frequently so he's not on drugs around the kid
9:21
Speaker 1: but like yeah.
9:22
Speaker 2: I agree i don't know And then this is where
9:24
Speaker 2: things started popping off with their separation, where drama started ensuing. Obviously,
9:29
Speaker 2: there was drama before.
9:30
Speaker 1: The entire time. You know they're texting back and forth
9:32
Speaker 1: for years. 100%.
9:33
Speaker 2: But this is where things started becoming a little bit
9:35
Speaker 2: more public, and it gets pretty crazy. So after they
9:38
Speaker 2: reached their custody agreement, later in the spring of 2026,
9:41
Speaker 2: Jax was spotted with him and Britney's publicist, Lori Krebs.
9:46
Speaker 2: And this is where Rumors started to resurface because for
9:50
Speaker 2: a long time, people had rumored that Jax was cheating
9:53
Speaker 2: on Britney with their publicist, Lori, and they were kind
9:56
Speaker 2: of keeping a low profile. But then in the spring
9:58
Speaker 2: of this year, they were spotted a Raton and sources
10:02
Speaker 2: were saying that they were looking very romantic and that
10:05
Speaker 2: they were probably fucking and like in a relationship or whatever.
10:09
Speaker 2: And this is where I think Britney started getting really
10:13
Speaker 2: pissed off because I feel like Britney is I can't
10:17
Speaker 2: stand to see Jax with anybody else but her, which
10:21
Speaker 2: is crazy to me because I'm like, Jax sucks. He's
10:24
Speaker 2: probably got a small dick. He probably can't find the clitoris.
10:26
Speaker 2: He's also high on cocaine all the time.
10:29
Speaker 1: And he's like probably gay a little bit. And I'm
10:31
Speaker 1: just like, girl, like what about Jax Taylor? It's so addicting. Meanwhile,
10:36
Speaker 1: you've had at least two relationships since you separated from Jax.
10:40
Speaker 1: There was the first one who was Jax's actual friend
10:43
Speaker 1: that you were out here.
10:44
Speaker 2: Yeah.
10:44
Speaker 1: And then there was the second one. guy that you
10:47
Speaker 1: actually presented on the Valley and everybody met him and
10:49
Speaker 1: he was like taking money from you. I think you're
10:51
Speaker 1: the one who said you gave him $ 10, 000 of your
10:54
Speaker 1: own hard earned money. Like, why do you just keep
10:56
Speaker 1: throwing money at dudes to be with you? I don't
10:58
Speaker 1: understand this, but like, you should be over it though.
11:01
Speaker 1: You've had these relationships. Why do you care so much
11:04
Speaker 1: who Jax is involved with? However, I didn't realize that
11:09
Speaker 1: at the time that Jax and Brittany, excuse me, Jax
11:12
Speaker 1: and Lori are spotted In spring of 2026, I didn't
11:17
Speaker 1: realize Britney was still employing Lori Krebs because I want
11:20
Speaker 1: to say last year, 2025, there was the whole kerfuffle
11:24
Speaker 1: about Jax being seen with Lori in Canada or something.
11:28
Speaker 1: And everybody was speculating what was going on then. You'd
11:31
Speaker 1: think Britney would have fired her at that point. But no,
11:35
Speaker 1: Lori was still her publicist up until July.
11:38
Speaker 2: Yeah. And so in July of this year, Jax was
11:42
Speaker 2: spotted again with Lori, this time in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
11:46
Speaker 2: And this is where Britney ultimately fires Lori.
11:50
Speaker 1: Crashes out.
11:50
Speaker 2: And crashes the fuck out. Because in Mexico, it looked
11:54
Speaker 2: like it was confirmed that Jax and Lori were romantic
11:58
Speaker 2: and in a relationship together. And this pissed Britney off
12:01
Speaker 2: a lot. And then in the middle of July, this
12:04
Speaker 2: is when texts between Jax and Brittany surfaced. And I
12:08
Speaker 2: guess according to sources, these texts are being used in court.
12:11
Speaker 2: So I don't know if I can find like the
12:13
Speaker 2: screenshots of them, but essentially Brittany was texting Jax all
12:16
Speaker 2: of this shit about how he was like violating their
12:18
Speaker 2: custody agreement. Violating their custody agreement because he's introducing a
12:23
Speaker 2: new person to their son. And according to their custody agreement,
12:27
Speaker 2: you can't do that within the first six months of
12:29
Speaker 2: this relationship or whatever. Jax clapped back and said something
12:34
Speaker 2: to the effect of, well, Lori's been around Cruz since
12:37
Speaker 2: he was literally born.
12:38
Speaker 1: So what's the big deal?
12:39
Speaker 2: I don't understand. And Brittany didn't like that. And this
12:43
Speaker 2: is when Brittany decided to fire Lori Krebs as their
12:47
Speaker 2: publicist and And then I think she went on her podcast,
12:51
Speaker 2: kind of talked about it a little bit. And then
12:52
Speaker 2: she had a People interview later in August where she
12:56
Speaker 2: kind of went into detail about how Lori was a
12:58
Speaker 2: backstabbing bitch.
13:00
Speaker 1: Betrayed her. Betrayed her. She's never been betrayed so badly. Really?
13:04
Speaker 1: Not even when Jax cheated on you that we all
13:06
Speaker 1: saw on Vanderpump Rules? That's what I'm saying. Like Brittany
13:09
Speaker 1: is one of these ancient chicks who would rather focus
13:13
Speaker 1: on the woman who's involved in the infidelity with your
13:16
Speaker 1: husband because they are still legally married, right? Yeah, they are.
13:19
Speaker 2: They haven't still legally divorced yet.
13:21
Speaker 1: Yeah. So your husband is the one who is betraying you.
13:24
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously if you're friends with Lori and she's
13:26
Speaker 1: your publicist, there's an ethical issue there. And yes, it
13:29
Speaker 1: is a betrayal, but like, why is that your whole focus?
13:33
Speaker 1: I don't understand.
13:34
Speaker 2: I really don't get it. I'm like, why are you
13:36
Speaker 2: so obsessed with it?
13:38
Speaker 1: Like, I don't know.
13:39
Speaker 2: I guess you can have some hurt feelings about your
13:41
Speaker 2: publicist ending up with your now ex-husband.
13:45
Speaker 1: Like, I get it. That sucks.
13:47
Speaker 2: And you've known this chick for many, many years. Like, yeah,
13:50
Speaker 2: it's a bit scummy. But this is the dude that
13:53
Speaker 2: you've been with. Like, I don't understand what you expect
13:55
Speaker 2: from him. He does not give a single fuck about
13:58
Speaker 2: any of your feelings. And I'm sure the publicist doesn't
14:00
Speaker 2: care either because you ain't shit. And you've been tolerating
14:03
Speaker 2: this guy and he's been cheating on you, like you said,
14:05
Speaker 2: a million times throughout your relationship. So it just, to me,
14:09
Speaker 2: feels like you just want to start drama.
14:12
Speaker 1: It just, she's jealous. Yeah. She's deeply and wildly jealous,
14:16
Speaker 1: which means she's still at the very least attached to Jax,
14:20
Speaker 1: but it could be as bad as she's still in love.
14:23
Speaker 1: with Jax and is harboring dreams that one day they'll
14:27
Speaker 1: get back together and be a family again. And I
14:29
Speaker 1: know a lot of women do that and they hold
14:31
Speaker 1: out hope and stuff, but like, let that lahouser go, Brittany,
14:36
Speaker 1: and take care of yourself. Focus on yourself and your child.
14:39
Speaker 1: And you don't have to be in a relationship because
14:42
Speaker 1: as soon as you separated from Jax, you hopped on
14:45
Speaker 1: his friend's dick Then as soon as that guy was gone,
14:48
Speaker 1: you hopped on another dick. And here again, I'm just
14:50
Speaker 1: saying we can take time. We can take breath and
14:52
Speaker 1: space after relationships to self-reflect and to heal and to
14:56
Speaker 1: get some therapy before entering into another relationship. But Brittany
15:00
Speaker 1: hasn't done that.
15:01
Speaker 2: No.
15:01
Speaker 1: And I think it's because she's still in love with Jax.
15:04
Speaker 1: She still wants Jax. And if Jax made some sort
15:08
Speaker 1: of half-ass effort to demonstrate that he was better, I
15:12
Speaker 1: think she'd take him back. I 100% think she would
15:15
Speaker 1: take him back. Are you kidding me?
15:16
Speaker 2: She would completely be like, I'll drop everything and I'll
15:19
Speaker 2: continue to pay your debt because I love you guys.
15:22
Speaker 1: You're my person.
15:23
Speaker 2: And I just don't get it. That's why we say
15:25
Speaker 2: Brittany ain't shit. That's why I say I think she's
15:28
Speaker 2: addicted to the drama because I think she loves this
15:31
Speaker 2: about this relationship. And at a certain point in time,
15:34
Speaker 2: you have to kind of take ownership of, how long
15:36
Speaker 2: or how much you are willing to take from somebody
15:40
Speaker 2: who objectively hates you and like wants to see you fail.
15:44
Speaker 2: Like how are you contributing to that dynamic? And I
15:47
Speaker 2: don't want to come off like I'm a victim blamer.
15:48
Speaker 2: Obviously I'm not talking about every single abusive relationship. So
15:52
Speaker 2: don't come for me. But with Brittany and Jax, it
15:55
Speaker 2: kind of seems like Brittany enables this and wants this.
15:58
Speaker 2: Like she wants that attention from him, whether it's negative
16:01
Speaker 2: or not. And girl, Get some help.
16:04
Speaker 1: Hard agree.
16:05
Speaker 2: Get some fucking help.
16:06
Speaker 1: Hard agree.
16:07
Speaker 2: And so then this is where things start getting kind
16:09
Speaker 2: of crazy. So in late July, Jax posted... something on Instagram,
16:14
Speaker 2: on his Instagram story about being a partner with the
16:18
Speaker 2: brand Smartwater. And he since deleted everything, he posted it
16:25
Speaker 2: as if he was like sponsored by them. And this
16:27
Speaker 2: also pissed off Brittany. Brittany apparently reached out to Smartwater
16:31
Speaker 2: and was like, why are you partnering with a literal abuser?
16:36
Speaker 1: This guy sucks.
16:37
Speaker 2: And Smartwater reached back out to her and said, actually,
16:40
Speaker 2: we've never partnered with Jax Taylor, so maybe calm down
16:44
Speaker 2: a little bit. And then Jax deleted his shit and said,
16:47
Speaker 2: essentially to the effect, he said, I made a mistake.
16:50
Speaker 2: It's an honest mistake. I didn't mean to intentionally misrepresent
16:55
Speaker 2: a partnership with Smartwater. And this is kind of where
16:57
Speaker 2: things started heating up a bit.
16:59
Speaker 1: Well, he also said that like he received paperwork. He
17:02
Speaker 1: thought that the deal was good to go, which sounds
17:07
Speaker 1: to me like he's still implying that Smartwater initiated some
17:11
Speaker 1: sort of a brand deal or else his team initiated
17:13
Speaker 1: and they agreed and there was paperwork. I don't know.
17:15
Speaker 1: I do know though, that it's not uncommon that influencers
17:20
Speaker 1: and social media personalities will pretend to have brand deals
17:24
Speaker 1: to become more attractive to other brands who might want
17:27
Speaker 1: to partner with them in the future. And I think
17:29
Speaker 1: that's what Jax was doing.
17:31
Speaker 2: 100%.
17:31
Speaker 1: He was faking the funk. Yeah, totally. Totally.
17:34
Speaker 2: So this was at the end of July. Then at
17:36
Speaker 2: the beginning of August, Britney did her people interview where
17:39
Speaker 2: she dropped some tea about how she was betrayed by
17:42
Speaker 2: their publicist, Lori Krebs. And then in the middle of August,
17:45
Speaker 2: Jax had released a statement saying that he was madly
17:48
Speaker 2: in love with Lori Krebs and, you know, he can't
17:50
Speaker 2: help who he falls in love with and they have
17:52
Speaker 2: such a great relationship, blah, blah, blah. And again, this
17:56
Speaker 2: likely pissed off Britney.
17:57
Speaker 1: A hundred percent.
17:59
Speaker 2: Resulted in the drama that is coming soon. And so
18:02
Speaker 2: then in the middle of July, Jax and Brittany attended
18:06
Speaker 2: a school orientation for Cruz. And it was likely like
18:10
Speaker 2: a special needs kind of a program orientation type of
18:13
Speaker 2: a thing. And They, I think Jax, hold on, let
18:17
Speaker 2: me pull it up.
18:18
Speaker 1: Brittany said that at that school function, Jax got aggressive
18:23
Speaker 1: with her. Right, volatile. And was calling her names. And
18:27
Speaker 1: I don't think like he put hands on her or anything,
18:29
Speaker 1: but was like really despicable to her at that event.
18:31
Speaker 2: Called her gross and all of this stuff. And so
18:33
Speaker 2: she said it was horrible.
18:35
Speaker 1: I agree.
18:36
Speaker 2: And then Jax posted on Instagram, he since deleted this
18:39
Speaker 2: as well, about an autism event. And he spoke kind
18:43
Speaker 2: of about cruise and autism in general. And this pissed
18:47
Speaker 2: off Brittany. And this event was like held by a
18:51
Speaker 2: specific sponsorship or a specific company. And then Brittany reached
18:54
Speaker 2: out to this company. via Instagram DM.
18:57
Speaker 1: So the organization actually was affiliated with one of Jax's friends.
19:01
Speaker 1: Was it? Yeah. So he was endorsing Jax. Jax was
19:05
Speaker 1: endorsing his friend's autism organization and some sort of an
19:08
Speaker 1: event or whatever. Brittany catches wind of this from his
19:11
Speaker 1: IG because I'm sure she stalks it like a mad woman.
19:14
Speaker 2: 100%.
19:14
Speaker 1: Reaches out to the autism organization and says, like, do
19:17
Speaker 1: you know who it is that you're partnering with or
19:19
Speaker 1: are you affiliated with Jax Taylor? And so that is...
19:23
Speaker 1: is given to the friend who then turns around and
19:25
Speaker 1: gives a screenshot of that to Jax and says, hey,
19:28
Speaker 1: do you know that Brittany's reaching out to these potential
19:31
Speaker 1: organizations and sponsors and that she's saying this kind of stuff?
19:35
Speaker 1: And this is where Jax starts to get really pissed.
19:37
Speaker 2: So Brittany's DM was posted on Jax's Instagram story and
19:42
Speaker 2: then he had a comment about it. So Brittany's DM
19:44
Speaker 2: to this friend or this organization said, hi, my ex-husband
19:48
Speaker 2: posted this event. I was wondering if you are sponsoring
19:50
Speaker 2: him or if he's officially involved in this event. If so,
19:53
Speaker 2: I'd like to share some information with you. Can you
19:55
Speaker 2: please share a donation link with me? Because I would
19:57
Speaker 2: actually like to help. And so then Jax responded, posting
20:01
Speaker 2: this DM and said, Yesterday, I reposted an event for
20:04
Speaker 2: fathers who have kids with autism. I connected with another
20:07
Speaker 2: father of an autistic child and wanted to support what
20:10
Speaker 2: he was doing and shared his event on my story.
20:12
Speaker 1: That was it.
20:13
Speaker 2: Today, I was sent this screenshot of a DM they
20:15
Speaker 2: got from my ex. This is just another example of
20:18
Speaker 2: her contacting every company, brand, or opportunity I get, trying
20:22
Speaker 2: to sabotage my ability to work and move forward with
20:24
Speaker 2: my life. This keeps happening over and over again, and
20:27
Speaker 2: I've already lost several jobs because of it. It honestly
20:31
Speaker 2: disgusts me that I feel like I have no other
20:33
Speaker 2: choice but to post this stuff publicly. I don't want to,
20:36
Speaker 2: but I just don't know what to do anymore. I
20:38
Speaker 2: stayed quiet for close to a year and tried handling
20:41
Speaker 2: things privately, but it just doesn't stop. I've made a
20:44
Speaker 2: lot of mistakes in my life and I'm not asking
20:46
Speaker 2: her or anybody to forget the things that I've done.
20:49
Speaker 2: I'm 637 days sober and I work every single day
20:52
Speaker 2: to be a better person and father. I'm just trying
20:55
Speaker 2: to work support and support causes that mean a lot
20:58
Speaker 2: to me and just move forward with my life. I
21:00
Speaker 2: don't understand why this can't be allowed to happen.
21:05
Speaker 1: So I've seen a couple of commentators discuss this. Some
21:12
Speaker 1: people are like, Brittany has every right to reach out
21:14
Speaker 1: to various organizations and to just give them a heads
21:17
Speaker 1: up and say, hey, like, do you understand the character
21:19
Speaker 1: of the person that you're aligning with? And then other
21:22
Speaker 1: people are saying like, why don't you just let it go?
21:25
Speaker 1: If you want Jax to help to pay off the
21:28
Speaker 1: mortgage and help to pay off his own debt and
21:30
Speaker 1: to contribute child support to Cruz, he's going to have
21:33
Speaker 1: to be gainfully employed. And what you're doing is interfering
21:37
Speaker 1: with his opportunities. Like, why do you care so much? Like,
21:40
Speaker 1: get out of the way.
21:41
Speaker 2: And....
21:44
Speaker 1: Where do you land with that?
21:46
Speaker 2: My thing is you can be frustrated that these brands
21:49
Speaker 2: or these organizations are supporting someone that you view as
21:52
Speaker 2: an abuser. Like you can be frustrated by that and whatnot.
21:55
Speaker 2: But at the same time, in this kind of a situation,
21:58
Speaker 2: it really isn't your business anymore, especially if you're getting divorced.
22:01
Speaker 2: Like you can be frustrated from it, frustrated by it
22:04
Speaker 2: from afar. But like to constantly be contacting these places
22:09
Speaker 2: that he's like trying to get brand deals and stuff
22:11
Speaker 2: with is kind of crazy to me. I don't know.
22:14
Speaker 2: I like, I get it. I get why she would
22:17
Speaker 2: be frustrated. Like, Oh my God, like he, he doesn't
22:19
Speaker 2: deserve shit.
22:19
Speaker 1: He should be homeless. It was an autism event. I
22:22
Speaker 1: don't even think like he was sponsoring it. I don't
22:24
Speaker 1: even think that he was a part of it. It
22:25
Speaker 1: was just his friend's thing. He posted about it on
22:28
Speaker 1: Instagram and she went out of her way to reach
22:31
Speaker 1: out and say, Hey, are you actually affiliating with him?
22:33
Speaker 1: And like, you don't need to do that. And this
22:34
Speaker 1: is a good cause. Why wouldn't you want your ex-husband,
22:37
Speaker 1: the father of your autistic child to to be promoting
22:40
Speaker 1: this kind of stuff. It just reads as so bitter
22:43
Speaker 1: to me.
22:43
Speaker 2: And like, if you guys have joint and legal custody,
22:46
Speaker 2: then Jax does need to work.
22:48
Speaker 1: He needs to have money. He needs to have a
22:50
Speaker 1: house to have your kid at.
22:51
Speaker 2: Like he needs to be able to provide in that way.
22:54
Speaker 1: And I don't know.
22:55
Speaker 2: I'm just like, girl, it's not your circus, not your
22:57
Speaker 2: monkeys anymore. Like you are getting divorced.
23:00
Speaker 1: So who gives a shit what he's doing?
23:01
Speaker 2: She does.
23:02
Speaker 1: Exactly.
23:03
Speaker 2: She cares an inordinate amount. I think that's the kicker there.
23:06
Speaker 2: I think she does genuinely care and she is stalking
23:08
Speaker 2: his Instagram like crazy. I don't know why Jax hasn't
23:10
Speaker 2: blocked her by now.
23:11
Speaker 1: Well, because she'll just get a Finsta. I know. And
23:13
Speaker 1: all of her friends will just send her whatever his
23:15
Speaker 1: stories are. Exactly. She's got a pipeline of this stuff.
23:17
Speaker 1: It's just toxic.
23:18
Speaker 2: And in my opinion, when you have a kid involved
23:20
Speaker 2: in all of this, like you need to do your
23:22
Speaker 2: part to try and be.
23:23
Speaker 1: The bigger person for your kid.
23:25
Speaker 2: It'd be another thing if they didn't have a child together.
23:27
Speaker 2: Then I'd be like, okay, be as messy and toxic
23:29
Speaker 2: as you want, you know? But now you have a
23:31
Speaker 2: child who's got special needs. And he's impressionable and he's
23:34
Speaker 2: going to see this shit the older that he gets
23:37
Speaker 2: because the internet.
23:37
Speaker 1: Is forever, honey.
23:39
Speaker 2: So all these Instagram stories are deleted and stuff, but
23:41
Speaker 2: everybody's got these screenshots saved and they will pass them
23:44
Speaker 2: around till the end of time. Your kid is going
23:46
Speaker 2: to see all of this shit. So, and you have
23:49
Speaker 2: to take responsibility for that. And so then after this
23:52
Speaker 2: statement from Jax, then Brittany in the middle of August
23:55
Speaker 2: filed a temporary restraining order against Jax and, you know,
24:00
Speaker 2: basically said all the things like, He's abusive and volatile
24:03
Speaker 2: and aggressive.
24:04
Speaker 1: But that was also based on an interaction that they
24:07
Speaker 1: had around that time. So I don't know what happened.
24:10
Speaker 1: I don't have the information, but like something happened that
24:13
Speaker 1: went left, which caused her to get that restraining order.
24:16
Speaker 1: And in that restraining order, she did mention a pattern
24:18
Speaker 1: of abusive behavior, but like something triggered it. Yeah. I
24:21
Speaker 1: just don't know what it is.
24:22
Speaker 2: Maybe it was from their school orientation thing.
24:25
Speaker 1: Maybe.
24:25
Speaker 2: Or maybe it was a response to this whole smart
24:28
Speaker 2: water thing where he was kind of calling out Brittany
24:30
Speaker 2: for sabotaging his life and ruining his ability.
24:33
Speaker 1: To make money. That wouldn't get you a restraining order, granted.
24:35
Speaker 2: No, but I think maybe she just did it as
24:38
Speaker 2: like a, well, fine, I'm going to get a restraining order.
24:40
Speaker 2: Like she's being petty almost.
24:42
Speaker 1: Maybe. I think that it's possible that something happened either
24:45
Speaker 1: at the school event or when they were doing some
24:47
Speaker 1: custody exchange that went left.
24:49
Speaker 2: Right.
24:50
Speaker 1: Jax acted out of pocket because by this point he's
24:52
Speaker 1: pissed off and then she files a restraining order.
24:55
Speaker 2: Right. And after this restraining order was filed, then Jax
24:58
Speaker 2: posts another statement on Instagram and it reads, I made
25:03
Speaker 2: a lot of mistakes and behaved in ways during that
25:05
Speaker 2: period of my life that I'm truly ashamed of and
25:08
Speaker 2: regret and take full responsibility for. The period of his life,
25:11
Speaker 2: I think he's referring to the end of their.
25:13
Speaker 1: Marriage, right? Like 2024. 2024.
25:16
Speaker 2: The person I was in 2024 during the darkest time
25:18
Speaker 2: of my life and at the height of my addiction
25:20
Speaker 2: is not the person I am today. I got help,
25:23
Speaker 2: went to treatment, and today I am one year and
25:25
Speaker 2: nine months sober. I've remained committed to my treatment and therapy,
25:29
Speaker 2: working on myself and changing my life. I was shocked
25:32
Speaker 2: to see claims about alleged incidences from... over two years
25:37
Speaker 2: ago being brought up now, especially when there have been never,
25:40
Speaker 2: there have never been any police reports filed or criminal
25:43
Speaker 2: charges brought against me related to them.
25:46
Speaker 1: That's what I said.
25:47
Speaker 2: There are allegations being made that I strongly dispute the
25:50
Speaker 2: full story context and evidence will be addressed where it
25:53
Speaker 2: belongs in court. I will respect the court's orders and
25:56
Speaker 2: legal process. My focus continues to be on my sobriety,
26:00
Speaker 2: working on my mental health, being the best father that
26:02
Speaker 2: I can be to Cruz, and moving forward in a
26:05
Speaker 2: healthy and responsible way. All I can do is own
26:08
Speaker 2: my mistakes, stay committed to the changes I've made, and
26:11
Speaker 2: make sure the choices I make today reflect the man
26:13
Speaker 2: and the father that I want to be.
26:15
Speaker 1: Okay, ChatGPT. Pretty much. Okay. Pretty much. But I mean,
26:21
Speaker 1: if he were authentic, that's great. But I don't know
26:25
Speaker 1: if he is. I think he's a despicable person. I
26:28
Speaker 1: hope he means it for the sake of Cruz. Do
26:32
Speaker 1: I care about Jax and the trajectory of his life
26:34
Speaker 1: and whether he can get brand deals and stuff like that? No,
26:37
Speaker 1: I do not. And karma is real. And the things
26:40
Speaker 1: that you've done to people is going to come back
26:43
Speaker 1: and get you. And I think that's a little bit
26:44
Speaker 1: of what's going on here. But if he means it,
26:47
Speaker 1: that's only good for his child. Totally. That's only good
26:50
Speaker 1: for his child.
26:51
Speaker 2: And so after this restraining order is enacted and he
26:54
Speaker 2: makes this statement on Instagram, then at the end of August,
26:57
Speaker 2: Jax also files his own temporary restraining order against Brittany,
27:02
Speaker 2: where she cannot be within 100 feet of him or
27:04
Speaker 2: his house. And in his restraining order, he cited that
27:08
Speaker 2: she has been intentionally sabotaging his life and contacting him
27:11
Speaker 2: relentlessly over and over again. And it's impacting his ability
27:16
Speaker 2: to make money and also his ability to stay sober
27:19
Speaker 2: is what he had put in his restraining order. Right.
27:22
Speaker 1: And so his restraining order, I think, was granted, although
27:24
Speaker 1: I think a few items were thrown out. Yeah, I
27:28
Speaker 1: think it was like a partial granted.
27:30
Speaker 2: Right.
27:30
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what the court granted him. I
27:33
Speaker 1: was just looking up the definition of tortious interference. Tortious
27:36
Speaker 1: interference is a legal claim that happens when an outside
27:38
Speaker 1: person or business intentionally damages your contractual or business relationship
27:42
Speaker 1: with someone else, causing you financial harm. So I don't
27:46
Speaker 1: know that this rises to the level on Brittany's part
27:50
Speaker 1: of tortious interference because I don't know that he had
27:52
Speaker 1: an existing contract or an existing deal. Editor Delia just
27:58
Speaker 1: cutting in to ask the question, what would my life
28:00
Speaker 1: be like? if I would just continue to read things.
28:03
Speaker 1: Because if you're watching on YouTube, you can see at
28:05
Speaker 1: the bottom of the graphic that there is a different
28:08
Speaker 1: type of tortious interference, which is the interference with prospective
28:13
Speaker 1: business relations. And here is where I think Brittany may
28:17
Speaker 1: have jammed her up if Jax is being truthful about
28:20
Speaker 1: her costing him, I think he said like $ 150, 000. So
28:24
Speaker 1: this type of interference is when a third party ruins
28:28
Speaker 1: a potential or future business deal or economic advantage that
28:33
Speaker 1: you were expected to get. So if she is actually
28:37
Speaker 1: going and talking to these various brands and organizations in
28:43
Speaker 1: order to get Jax removed or in order to inspire
28:47
Speaker 1: them not to work with somebody like him, then she
28:50
Speaker 1: might have an issue here and Jax could probably make
28:54
Speaker 1: some sort of a legal claim of tortious interference please
28:56
Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong I am certainly not a
28:59
Speaker 1: lawyer but I'd be a little bit worried about that
29:01
Speaker 1: if I was Britney and I will say there's a
29:05
Speaker 1: case to be made like in her defense like maybe
29:08
Speaker 1: she actually really does want all of these brands and
29:11
Speaker 1: organizations to know that he's a terrible person and maybe
29:15
Speaker 1: morally she feels compelled to reach out to these various
29:18
Speaker 1: people and warn them Can she do that legally? I
29:23
Speaker 1: don't know. But maybe that's something she could use in
29:26
Speaker 1: her defense if he ever does take this to court.
29:28
Speaker 1: But I feel like he's signaling that he might want
29:31
Speaker 1: to do that. And I just also want to say, Brittany, like,
29:33
Speaker 1: I don't think you want that kind of smoke right now.
29:35
Speaker 1: Because again, you're paying this mortgage on a house that
29:38
Speaker 1: is not worth what you pay for it. Plus you
29:41
Speaker 1: are paying Jack's IRS debt to the tune of over
29:44
Speaker 1: a million dollars. And now what if he sues you
29:47
Speaker 1: for 150 or $ 200, 000? I mean, even just the lawsuit
29:52
Speaker 1: itself is going to cost you both so much money.
29:55
Speaker 1: I just want her to let go. I just don't
29:58
Speaker 1: know if she ever will.
29:58
Speaker 2: All right.
30:00
Speaker 1: Back to the episode. But I definitely think she's demonstrating
30:04
Speaker 1: intent to interfere with his business. And that is a
30:08
Speaker 1: problem for her because legally he can go after her
30:11
Speaker 1: for tortious interference and sue her for the amount that
30:14
Speaker 1: he loses as a result of that interference. So she
30:17
Speaker 1: should be careful of that.
30:18
Speaker 2: But she's not going to be because I think she
30:20
Speaker 2: does genuinely want to sabotage him.
30:22
Speaker 1: I think she's still drinking, in my opinion, based on
30:25
Speaker 1: season three of The Valley and the things that I
30:27
Speaker 1: was seeing. on the valley like her behavior really hasn't
30:30
Speaker 1: changed I don't know if you know but in season
30:32
Speaker 1: three she got a mommy makeover.
30:33
Speaker 2: I did see pictures of her before and after.
30:36
Speaker 1: I think she got her implants out which by the
30:39
Speaker 1: way the implants Jax made her actually get initially and
30:43
Speaker 1: he forced her to get larger implants than she actually
30:46
Speaker 1: wanted so I think she got the implants out and
30:49
Speaker 1: I think she got a tummy tuck I'm not sure
30:51
Speaker 1: if she did anything else I just know that when
30:54
Speaker 1: I see Britney, on her people.com interview, she looks exactly
30:58
Speaker 1: the same. She literally looks exactly the same. And I think,
31:01
Speaker 1: in my opinion, it's because she has not changed her lifestyle.
31:04
Speaker 1: And it's probably because there's a lot of alcohol bloat
31:06
Speaker 1: going on. She's probably still drinking. I think, in my opinion,
31:11
Speaker 1: drinking like that fuels this aspect of Britney where she's
31:16
Speaker 1: stalking his Instagram, texting him this wild shit, and acting
31:20
Speaker 1: out of pocket herself. So she really needs to get sober,
31:24
Speaker 1: like Jax, If Jax is actually sober, I don't know
31:27
Speaker 1: that he is or believe that he is, but she
31:29
Speaker 1: needs to get sober. She needs to change her life around.
31:32
Speaker 1: She should want to develop a healthy and balanced co-parenting
31:35
Speaker 1: relationship with the father of her child. I understand Jax
31:39
Speaker 1: is a demon, but you chose this demon and now
31:41
Speaker 1: you have had a child with that demon. So you
31:43
Speaker 1: have to do everything in your power to create something
31:47
Speaker 1: that's going to benefit your child. But she's not thinking
31:49
Speaker 1: that way. Jax, I don't think, is thinking that way.
31:52
Speaker 1: And here we are, September 2026, and everything is in
31:55
Speaker 1: the shitter. Now, sidebar. I want to talk about Lori
32:00
Speaker 1: Krebs because there's been some chatter online about her. With
32:04
Speaker 1: one of the working theories being that Lori has actually
32:09
Speaker 1: been angling this entire time to get a spot on
32:13
Speaker 1: the Valley. What? She wants Jax... To be back on
32:17
Speaker 1: the valley. And I think Jax would like nothing more
32:20
Speaker 1: in his life. To be on TV. To be on TV,
32:22
Speaker 1: to be back on reality TV, to have a job
32:24
Speaker 1: in this way. I think Lori has been working behind
32:27
Speaker 1: the scenes to try and get him that type of job.
32:29
Speaker 1: I think she wants him to be back on the valley.
32:32
Speaker 1: But people think that Lori also wants to be on
32:35
Speaker 1: the valley because that would be wild. That's insane. Can
32:41
Speaker 1: you imagine Jax and Lori and Brittany on the same show?
32:47
Speaker 1: That I would, I might have to watch. We would
32:49
Speaker 1: have to watch. I feel like it would be super negative.
32:51
Speaker 1: So trashy. And I'd have to put up with Janet,
32:54
Speaker 1: but I would probably just have to watch that car crash.
32:58
Speaker 1: So maybe that's one of the motives of Lori being
33:00
Speaker 1: involved with Jax. But another person pointed out that Lori
33:05
Speaker 1: has a lot of the secrets of Jax and Brittany.
33:11
Speaker 1: She has a lot of those. She understands and knows
33:14
Speaker 1: everything that they've been through. Apparently Lori was there. In
33:17
Speaker 1: the incident where Jax threw the table at Brittany, hit
33:21
Speaker 1: Brittany in the leg. And we've seen pictures of the bruising.
33:25
Speaker 1: Apparently Lori was in the room when this happened. So
33:27
Speaker 1: Lori knows all of their dirty laundry. What would happen
33:31
Speaker 1: if Jax walked away from Lori?
33:33
Speaker 2: Oh my God.
33:33
Speaker 1: Because Brittany has already fired her. What if Jax fired
33:37
Speaker 1: her and walked away? Like I would be afraid.
33:41
Speaker 2: Yeah.
33:42
Speaker 1: If I were Jax, I would be afraid if I
33:43
Speaker 1: were Brittany. For sure.
33:45
Speaker 2: Because she does know all the secrets. I'm sure she's
33:47
Speaker 2: bound to some kind of contract or NDA or whatever.
33:49
Speaker 1: She's clearly unethical. But totally. She's fucking one of her clients. Yep.
33:53
Speaker 1: And she's fucking the husband of one of her clients.
33:56
Speaker 2: Right.
33:56
Speaker 1: She doesn't care about integrity. This is so fucking messy.
34:00
Speaker 1: And I think it's just going to get more messy.
34:02
Speaker 2: Totally. Now, what do you think about like these statements
34:05
Speaker 2: at the end with their restraining orders? Because this is
34:08
Speaker 2: why I said with Brittany's restraining order, it felt a
34:10
Speaker 2: little petty because she files one and then Jax files
34:13
Speaker 2: one in response. And I just feel like they do
34:16
Speaker 2: this kind of thing to each other. Like when one attacks,
34:19
Speaker 2: the other attacks at the same time. And it's just
34:22
Speaker 2: this constant vitriolic cycle that they're in all of the time.
34:26
Speaker 2: And obviously, like I said, and like you've said, Jax
34:29
Speaker 2: is a total piece of shit. He is aggro all
34:32
Speaker 2: the fucking time. He has substance abuse issues and that
34:36
Speaker 2: fuels his rage disorder or whatever he's got going on.
34:40
Speaker 2: But Brittany's got her own problems too. And she is
34:42
Speaker 2: addicted to this cycle and, And I just feel like they.
34:46
Speaker 1: Love this aspect of their relationship.
34:48
Speaker 2: And like now, even though they're separated and they're fighting
34:50
Speaker 2: in court with this divorce, I'm like hard pressed to
34:54
Speaker 2: say this isn't going to get finalized anytime soon. Because
34:56
Speaker 2: I kind of feel like they want it to be drama-licious.
35:00
Speaker 2: I don't think that there are two people that can
35:03
Speaker 2: step back for the sake of their child and try
35:06
Speaker 2: to be mature. I think they like the drama. I
35:09
Speaker 2: think they like fighting with each other and that's just
35:12
Speaker 2: where it's going to be.
35:13
Speaker 1: I don't know that Jax wants it anymore. I think
35:15
Speaker 1: Brittany is the one who's hanging on and being a
35:19
Speaker 1: little bit more problematic at this time. I think if
35:22
Speaker 1: the relationship with Lori Krebs is real, I think he
35:25
Speaker 1: wants to you know, dig into that, be with her,
35:28
Speaker 1: create a life for himself and make space for Cruz.
35:31
Speaker 1: But like now Brittany's going to be that thorn in
35:33
Speaker 1: his side. And again, it is karma, but that doesn't
35:37
Speaker 1: make Brittany a good person. Yeah. No, not at all.
35:40
Speaker 2: Not at all. And unfortunately karma is going to come
35:43
Speaker 2: for both of them. I think like it's going to
35:45
Speaker 2: come for Jax. It's been coming for Jax as it should,
35:48
Speaker 2: because he's a piece of shit, but I think it's
35:50
Speaker 2: going to keep coming for Brittany too. The longer that
35:52
Speaker 2: she can't Let this go. Like just finalize your fucking.
35:55
Speaker 1: Divorce, dude. I don't understand why it's so hard. Brittany
35:58
Speaker 1: is not liked, generally speaking, by the fandom because she
36:02
Speaker 1: covered for Jax and his abuse of others for so
36:06
Speaker 1: very long. And now apparently, again, I didn't watch season three,
36:10
Speaker 1: apparently like she was behind the scenes talking to Janet
36:13
Speaker 1: and the other castmates, sort of coordinating the effort against
36:17
Speaker 1: Danny and Nia, but always hiding her hand and making like, no,
36:20
Speaker 1: I love Nia. she's great. I love them. But also
36:24
Speaker 1: behind the scenes kind of driving this campaign against the couple.
36:28
Speaker 1: Like she's just duplicitous. She's underhanded. I do not think
36:32
Speaker 1: she's a good person, which is why like attracts like.
36:35
Speaker 2: Yeah.
36:36
Speaker 1: Jax and Brittany were attracted to each other and this
36:38
Speaker 1: is where they are. And I think they're going to
36:41
Speaker 1: be there for a while. Totally.
36:42
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think they're going to be able
36:43
Speaker 2: to settle on anything, especially like with the financial stuff
36:47
Speaker 2: that she's taken on for him. And then You know,
36:50
Speaker 2: he's probably got, like you said, the tortious interference defense
36:53
Speaker 2: where he can be like, you're interfering with my ability
36:55
Speaker 2: to make money. And to be able to pay this
36:57
Speaker 2: shit off.
36:57
Speaker 1: Especially if the restraining order dictates that she no longer
37:00
Speaker 1: do that. Then if she does do that, there's going
37:02
Speaker 1: to be some repercussion for Brittany there.
37:04
Speaker 2: Man, they must be up to their eyeballs in lawyer
37:07
Speaker 2: fees right now.
37:08
Speaker 1: Which they can't afford. No, I know. They're both broke.
37:10
Speaker 1: In this economy, in this housing market, Brittany, you're holding
37:14
Speaker 1: on to that mansion that's worth, I don't know how much,
37:17
Speaker 1: but it's worth less now than you paid for it.
37:20
Speaker 1: Plus you rolled in over a million dollars and his
37:23
Speaker 1: tax lien, like, oh my God, you must be drowning underwater.
37:26
Speaker 1: The way I would just get foreclosed upon. For real.
37:29
Speaker 1: And then have that debt assigned to Jax and to
37:31
Speaker 1: me and just walk away from that. But she's so attached.
37:34
Speaker 1: She does have these attachments and fixations. She's so attached
37:38
Speaker 1: to that home and raising Cruz there that she's unwilling
37:41
Speaker 1: to let it go. And so then here you go.
37:43
Speaker 1: You get what you settle for. This is your life then.
37:46
Speaker 1: If you're not willing to better yourself and make good
37:48
Speaker 1: choices for yourself, including financial decisions, then this is what
37:52
Speaker 1: you reap.
37:53
Speaker 2: I kind of wonder if like the mansion represents that
37:56
Speaker 2: attachment that she has to Jax. Like you can't get
37:59
Speaker 2: rid of this because it was the last home that
38:01
Speaker 2: you guys shared together. And so therefore you're attached to this,
38:05
Speaker 2: attached to all the memories and attached to Jax energetically.
38:09
Speaker 2: And that's why you can't let him go.
38:11
Speaker 1: It's why you're.
38:11
Speaker 2: Stalking his Instagram and trying to allegedly sabotage his ability
38:15
Speaker 2: to make money with all of these brand deals and
38:17
Speaker 2: sponsorships and stuff like that.
38:19
Speaker 1: Like it's just.
38:20
Speaker 2: so crazy she really just needs to get out on
38:22
Speaker 2: her own and like get her own little apartment in
38:24
Speaker 2: la and like live her life with cruise and that's
38:27
Speaker 2: that's the long and short of it they need to
38:29
Speaker 2: worry about cruise and not their stupid fucking toxic drama
38:33
Speaker 2: cycle that they've been in for you know, over 10
38:35
Speaker 2: years at this point, like worry about your kid because
38:38
Speaker 2: your kid is only getting older. They're only becoming more perceptive.
38:42
Speaker 2: You know, they're going to witness all of this shit
38:44
Speaker 2: and they're going to take it in. Like, you know,
38:45
Speaker 2: Cruz has autism and stuff. And so he's going to
38:47
Speaker 2: internalize all of this shit, whether you guys know it
38:50
Speaker 2: or not.
38:50
Speaker 1: And that's damaging.
38:53
Speaker 2: That's so damaging to watch your parents have this nasty,
38:56
Speaker 2: horrible public divorce that is rife with toxicity and ugliness.
39:02
Speaker 2: And I just worry about him, dude. And now his dad,
39:05
Speaker 2: you know, he's got his dad's substance abuse stuff, you know,
39:07
Speaker 2: in the back of his mind, probably. I don't know.
39:10
Speaker 1: And hers. She's a substance abuser, too, allegedly, in my opinion.
39:13
Speaker 1: She drinks too much. It worries me. And Jax alleges
39:15
Speaker 1: that she was doing coke, too. Yeah, probably. In his opinion.
39:20
Speaker 1: In his opinion. Well, Beatrice, is there anything else that
39:22
Speaker 1: we want to say before we get up on out
39:24
Speaker 1: of here? If you love our podcast, please do us
39:27
Speaker 1: a favor and go to your favorite podcast platform and
39:29
Speaker 1: leave us a glowing five. star review really helps us
39:31
Speaker 1: grow the pod and get more people in the dumpster
39:34
Speaker 1: we would really appreciate some nice words so thank you
39:36
Speaker 1: we will be back next week to continue our conversation
39:39
Speaker 1: about sister wives by the way it was not formally
39:42
Speaker 1: announced but I know Christine Brown went up on her
39:45
Speaker 1: Instagram and I think it's been on the reddits it's
39:48
Speaker 1: been formally what I'm just like dangling the carrot. Sister
39:52
Speaker 1: Wives season 21 is going to be coming back in
39:55
Speaker 1: the fall. But we don't know when. It's just going
39:59
Speaker 1: to be coming back. Well, and I watched Christine's little
40:02
Speaker 1: Instagram where she says that there are some secrets that
40:06
Speaker 1: are going to be revealed in this season. And I'm
40:09
Speaker 1: just like, okay, it's like Andy Cohen before every new
40:12
Speaker 1: season of Real Housewives of wherever. He's like, oh my God.
40:15
Speaker 1: this is the best season ever. And then it just
40:18
Speaker 1: ends up being a nothing burger.
40:19
Speaker 2: Yeah.
40:20
Speaker 1: I think that Christine wants to drum up interest in
40:23
Speaker 1: the sister wives because a lot of that has fallen
40:25
Speaker 1: off because you ain't married anymore. There are no sister wives.
40:29
Speaker 1: What the hell are we doing? For real. But FYI,
40:33
Speaker 1: we are definitely going to be covering it sometime in
40:36
Speaker 1: this fall.
40:36
Speaker 2: Yeah.
40:37
Speaker 1: So I do look forward to that. But we'll be
40:39
Speaker 1: back next week to continue our journey with Sister Wives.
40:42
Speaker 1: Until then, please do not forget that we have nothing
40:45
Speaker 1: but love for you. And peace out.
40:49
Speaker 2: Bye.
40:49
Speaker 1: Bye, guys.
