00:00Talk to me, what are some traditions and things that you love doing with Isabella? I'm sorry,
00:04she is the cutest little girl in the world. Yeah, perfect. Yeah, this year. So every year,
00:10we go and pick up a Christmas tree on December 1, I refuse to get it before Thanksgiving,
00:15because I yeah, I'm one of those people. And actually, my grandmother, my grandmother bunny
00:21Isabella's middle name started by my mom, ornaments from the Met in New York, they do a
00:27signature ornament every year. So she had been buying ornaments since 1970 for my mother. And
00:33my mother started buying them for Isabella in 2020, when she was born. So this year, my mom
00:37sent out all of her ornaments. So we did it all brass and gold tree with all the ornaments going
00:42back to 1970. Yeah, it's so special. I love it. Obviously, this year is a little different for
00:48you with being separated from Michelle, how do you to navigate and co parent during the holidays?
00:54What does that look like for you to you know, it's, we're working on our schedule, we're trying
00:58to do the best co parents and we can this particular year, unfortunately, Michelle's mom
01:03passed away right before Thanksgiving. So I, you know, I spent Thanksgiving Eve with Isabella and
01:10then drove her down. So she could spend Thanksgiving and the weekend with Michelle's
01:14family. And she's going to do Christmas with them as well this year just to like, you know,
01:19so they can kind of like talk about her grandmother and, you know, keep that memory
01:22alive for her. Yeah, really nice. That's such a good dad. Yeah, it's gonna be a hard Christmas
01:28though, because I haven't done a Christmas without her. But yeah, celebrate beforehand.
01:34December 28. Santa comes on the roof. We actually had she made me this morning shovel out the soot
01:41out of the fireplace because I swear to God, she was shoveling and I was holding the bag open.
01:45And she's like Santa, I don't want Santa to get dirty. I'm like, all right. Well,
01:49I can't. So cute. It's so fun. Those like special moments when they're young, right before they know
01:54what is going on. Yeah. Michelle told us that it was really hard for her to film the season with
02:00you. What are your thoughts on that? How are you two nowadays? I mean, you're going through a
02:05divorce. I think it would be hard on anybody. You know, it's there's some crazy ups and downs. And
02:10we had hoped that we would be able to go into it and you know, kind of be like that cool couple
02:17that got divorced and everything's great and roses and rainbows, right? It just didn't happen
02:22that way. So you'll see it kind of unfold. And you'll see some sides being taken and stuff like
02:28that. But it's not easy. It's not easy. Are you guys cordial nowadays? Is it better? We're doing
02:34our best. But you know, every like you go a couple days, that's great. And then something else comes
02:39up. And it's just the way it works when you're separated and going through a divorce and the
02:43divorce is taking longer than we thought. So yeah, it's, uh, it's interesting, but we do our
02:47best, you know what I mean? Cause Isabella, like she doesn't need to be around that toxicity. And
02:52you know, she just wants to see the best and she's doing the best she can, which is good.
02:57You know, just enjoying like her mom's house, my house and you know, the schedule that we have
03:02works perfectly for her. So that's all that she's happy. That's all that matters. We also see
03:07another split last season. And I heard this season's even crazier. Um, Jackson, Brittany,
03:13how's, how was it filming with them? Um, did you feel like you needed to pick sides? How was it
03:18navigating their tension? You know, like I'll let Jack speak for Jackson, their relationship. I don't
03:24want to get in the middle of it. You know, it's, it's hard. Cause like, I don't want people to get
03:28in the middle of mine either. Um, you know, the, I support both Jackson and Brittany, you know, I,
03:34Jax has leaned on me quite a bit. And I I've said that previous times, but like I talk to
03:39him almost every single day, but I've spent, you know, time with Brittany. I was at the Halloween
03:43party with Brittany. So they both deserve support. There's no really picking sides. Like maybe if we
03:49were in high school, but you know, it's like, she has her, you know, uh, experience and he has his
03:55experience and you just kind of support both sides and, you know, hope that they'll figure
03:59it out for the sake of cruise. You know what I mean? It's like, it's, it's hard in that age
04:03because they start to remember everything and they see everything. So it's hard. Yeah.
04:07Really hard. What can you tease from season two? I mean, it is one of the best reality TV shows.
04:14I mean, if season one was one of the best reality TV shows, season two is going to blow it out of
04:19the water because literally every single person stepped up to the plate. And you know, like I
04:25knew while I was filming season one, exactly sort of what the arc of the storyline was going to be.
04:29I have no idea. You know what I mean? And I'm like, I'm feeling filming all day.
04:35I I'm like, I'm like, so I think we just all have to stay tuned and see,
04:38because I'm going to get it a day before everybody else. I'm gonna be like,
04:41Oh boy. I told me he's scared about it. Yeah. I mean, Jax, Jax should be a little scared.
04:48I should be too. Cause I have no idea. I could, I don't know.
04:53Well, you had an intense first season. I don't know how, how you go from there.
04:57I mean, I think we're going, I think we're honestly going to break the ceiling on season
05:01one. It's going to be great. Yeah. The best. And with Vanderpump, you know,
05:04getting their reboot and you're having a few of the cast members come over to your season.
05:09How do you feel about that? Lala Sheena had, how's that dynamic?
05:13I mean, we're, we've all been friends for a long time, you know, so they're going to be part of,
05:18like, I, I was at Vanderpump shoots before, you know, like in the background, roller skating
05:23around, you know what I mean? So we're all friends. We're all going to kind of cross
05:26over and, but like our crew, our, our group is, I mean, it's a great group. It, it, you know,
05:32look at how season one went. So, but they're always going to be around and, and yeah, the
05:37new Vanderpump, I mean, if the new Vanderpump is anything like the old Vanderpump, then it's
05:40going to be a hit.
