Hi, everyone. Welcome back. This is part two of a two-part recap. If you're wondering where part one was, well, go check in the feed and be sure to subscribe. So that way you always get your episodes. But enough of that. Let's get right back into the episode. I mean, he sounds like he's literally Joe Gorga talking to his dad at the christening. You're my father. You're my father. You're my father.

Okay, so Janet's like, we are leaving. Jasmine's the best. Jason, do come. We are going. So he's very upset because he doesn't even know Jasmine's ever been his real friend. And he goes, have fun looking at yourself in the mirror, talking shit about every single person here and every other person here. Jason, so do you. And so does your ringleader wife. Just go home and fucking simp for your fucking ringleader wife. I don't even need to hear another word from you.

I'm like, I would rather look at myself in the mirror and know I talk shit about people than look at myself in the mirror and know I excuse Jax. Yeah, I know that you're giving Jax airtime to come up with this bullshit sympathy while violins play in the background. And Janet does as well. So fuck both of you. You know, you pretend you're these great people. You stand for terrorism. Great villains, though. Glad you're on the show. So Jason is like, for somebody who I've invested in a relationship, I really value that. That means a lot to me, this whole thing. It's just a different side of Jasmine that...

I don't know who brought it out of her because Janet and I haven't like, we haven't done anything to her. Um, you just like pulled her to the side and didn't claim that you wanted to talk to her to find out things. And then when she tried to explain herself, interrupted her and then guilted her and then say that she broke your heart. Like, no, I mean, called her a liar and insisted that she did things to you that she never did because you're too afraid of confronting Zach.

And then, like, when you ask her to explain herself and then, like, cut her off. And then so she gets agitated. You start saying, like, why are you yelling? Why are you yelling? I think that's what you did to her. Yes. But either way. She's like, it was two years ago. And he's like, I can't believe the biggest snake in the grass has been under my nose this whole time. So Janice is like, I'm taking my metal detector and we're leaving. Hi, you know, I was under my nose the whole time.

Bottle cap. Just found one. Now I've gotten an earring for both of yours. So this still like, he's not listening. She betrayed me. She's not a real friend. They have all this. So Janet's telling everyone else she's two faced and I can't even have a conversation with her. I mean, what the hell? And Genesis and Jason's like, I'm out of here. I love my actual friends who don't talk shit about me. Hmm.

and Jasmine's like, your friends weren't fucking with you at the time, okay? So talk to your boys, not me, because I already know. They're my family. They don't fuck with you. They don't like you. So now she's insinuating that the guys were the ones who said it in the first place, which would make sense if it was all the guys, like Jason's not wearing his wedding ring, and then Luke took that back to Kristen, and then Kristen took that back. There we go. Guys talk. Guys chat. That guys chat's dangerous. But of course, we're going to blame the gay.

And Jasmine for fucking everything. Because he's too much of a pussy to go for the other people. I'm sorry, I shouldn't say pussy. He's too much of a wussy to go for the other people. That was a good fix. Lala is there. I didn't even realize Lala was at this beach. I'm pretending it's not happening. She's like, this is the best beach days I've ever had, Skr.

So Jasmine is like, can you know what's crazy to you that pisses me off? At the party, I said this to Jason. He goes, that makes sense. She goes, yeah, but then they said that you made it up. And that's what they told Jason. Remember my hemorrhoids? So Kristen's like, listen, Sheena, Jasmine did not tell me. Just so everyone knows, Jasmine did not tell me. Jasmine's like, yeah, trust me. I don't do that.

So then Jason's like, who's this random group of guys she's even talking about? It's like, wait, she just said my boys don't like me. Who does she mean? And Brock interrupts it to go support them. And so Janet's like, she's so fake. That was insane. So Janet's like, I love Jason, but I do not love Janet. So I would like to work it out with him, but fuck her. And, you know, I'm getting emotional because I like him. But then Janet's like, you're fake, you're fake, you're fake. And like, she wouldn't shut up so I can so I could talk to him.

Yeah. And Jasmine just saying she's so annoyed because like she she knew Janet way back before all this. Everyone like she knew Janet for for many years now, you know, and she cherished that. But now she's like, she won't won't even let me talk to you. And so she's going through it. She's saying she never had an issue with Jason. And they always looked out for each other because they were the only black people in the group. And they've always had each other's back.

they both had this language like when people were being crazy they could kind of like look at each other being like you know it's not black really

Did you say Kristen's not black? Jason. Oh, Jason. I didn't realize. I actually didn't really know what his ethnic background was. I actually always thought he might be Filipino. But it sounds like Jasmine just said that he's black, so maybe he is mixed race. Oh, okay. I didn't know. So I didn't even hear that part. Well, there you go. Well, just found out something new. I'll tell you what Earl the Pearl is. White. White.

Very white. White as a pearl. Have you seen him dancing on a boat? So she's upset. And meanwhile, the car, Jason's getting teary eyed. He's like, I can't talk about, I can't talk about the betrayal. And Janice like, yeah, we were friends for like seven years. As long as I've been stalking Sheena. I mean, that's crazy.

So now back to the fire, because the scene is just still going. So Jasmine is like, well, he's so whipped. I know he's not doing shit. And Michelle goes, get rekt. So Brittany's like, hey, why is this even being brought up? We already squashed all of this. Speaking of squash, I think I was sitting on some Hawaiian loaves here. Sorry, everyone. Y'all, I'm so sick of the same stuff being brought over and over. Chex is so mean.

So back to the car, Janet is still doing, I am done. I am done. I'm just getting your car and leave already for fuck's sake, man. You asked for the check an hour ago. Why are you still at my table? Go. Yeah.

So finally this beach scene ends and now we cut to Kristen and Zach walking through the mean streets of NoHo. Hey, Zach, guess what? We're in the NoHo Arts District. This is where a lot of dancers live. Like, we're really cultured right now. Yeah, seriously. We could be in the back. We could be in like a music video right now. Seriously? Seriously. I love that she acts like Zach has never been to the NoHo Arts District. It's like literally...

One of the main streets. That's like a very big part of like where they live. Yes. Oh, by the way, I was at a thing the other day and I saw some of my friends. I saw this gay couple and they live in the Valley and they live down the street from Jackson, Brittany. And I was like, how's that? And he goes, that guy literally gets in his golf cart and drives around the neighborhood.

Looking for people to take selfies with him or ask him for selfies or he'll like do cameos and stuff just riding around in his golf cart. It's sad. So that's actually that's sad. Yes. That neighborhood, I believe, is called the NoHo Farts District. Old farts like Jack's drive around looking for selfies. The Shameless Ho Arts District.

So they go to this cafe. Yeah, they go to this little cafe. And Nia comes and she's talking to Daniel. She's like, hi, everything. Daniel, goddammit, I swear to god, if you don't do it, everything is great, guys. Daniel, did you just burp?

then brittany enters hi everyone how they say there's the no whole arts history but i don't see a painting anywhere what's going on now they're talking about last night dawn dawn dawn after zach admits he's like i don't want water i don't drink water so it's a big night on bravo for like weird confessions like in the next show we're recapping next gen nyc there's a girl who doesn't believe in washing her hands oh my goodness i feel like

this entire day is leading up to that recap. I'm so excited. I mean, what a day for us. Love Island, the Valley next gen NYC. I mean, I'm just feel so hashtag blessed. Yeah. So, um, uh,

So anyway, Kristen is like, so Brittany, how was your evening after the beach? How was that hookup? And she's like, it was great. And she said that she's basically been hanging out with this new guy and she likes him. And he's like got a real job and real responsibilities. And he does things like he like texts her things like good morning. And I kind of feel so bad for her because she's

These are just kind of like base level things that you should have in a relationship. And the fact that she is so excited to have them, I'm not even making fun of her. I'm just like, oh, you've been living in a very sad situation with Jax. You've been with like a monster. Yeah. He's just so normal. Is he? Because then when they ask where they met, she said, I was hosting The Bachelor Monday at Jax's.

Oh, yeah, that's true. So that sounds like kind of a thirsty way to meet somebody, you know. And here's Brittany. Anybody want to date Brittany? Let's line them up.

Yeah. Anyone who's voluntarily going to Jax's bar, like not just as like the novelty of it to get a selfie to put on Instagram to be like, I went there and it was just going there earnestly. That's a huge red flag now that you say it. Yeah. Someone purposely showing up on bachelorette night that Brittany's hosting at her husband's bar wants to get on TV. So I don't know. I don't know how trusting I am. Damn it.

I was rooting for her. So Brittany says, yeah, we're just having fun. A little piece I can chew. Listen, I don't know everything, but one thing I can guarantee is that Brittany's picker sucks. It sucks. She's not going to pick a good one. Listen, when you've been raised smelling those whiteout fumes from your mother's lipstick all your life, your judgment's going to get a little messed up. Sorry.

I think our mom's also been through like four marriages. So there was like a lot going on over there. Yeah. Yeah. Her, her picker six. Yeah. Her mom. Yeah. But her mom, she has a new hairstyle for each marriage, I think. And so now she's doing this. She, her mom now is in her 1977, um,

big sort of like trapezoid hair phase, which is fun. Yeah. Yeah. She's into like the flowy bang thing, like the square bangs, but also kind of flowy. Like she's got something going on. I remember last week she was wearing the like Flintstone, super bright orange, Lisa Rinna print, you know, like the leopard print or whatever. She's like, I'm like a leopard, but a real fun orange leopard, honey. We'll take care of the kids.

i feel like sherry is like i want my hair to look like the letter a she just looks like she has a giant letter a on her head just made of hair yeah she wore forehead yeah something brittany never brought home god bless her okay so we go to um kristin and christian's britney's like i'm just having so much fun with this guy we're just doing a little peacock and chill

How many times do you think they had to explain that to her? Like, sorry, Brittany, we're not allowed to say Netflix and chill on Bravo. So they have to say Peacock and chill. But why would you hang out with a peacock? No, it's the streaming service. Wait, there's a stream? Where's the stream? It's called Peacock Stream? You can bring the streams down. Peacock Stream?

So everyone's so happy to see Britt smiling and laughing. It's just like so crazy. So now they talk about the beach and Brittany's like, I thought it was fun. I know Kristen doesn't think it was fun, but it was fun. It's like, yeah, it wasn't fun. Cause like Jasmine and Luke and I did not think it was fun. Although I did enjoy putting that horseshoe crab on my back. That was a fun dare.

To me, it's comical that Janna and Jason, after laughing it off at your birthday party, all of a sudden are making it into a huge deal. Yeah, it's confusing. Yeah, and now saying that Jasmine fully made it up, I mean, which is not true whatsoever because I heard it separately, okay? Hashtag hyperbole.

And Brittany's like, well, yeah, Jasmine was trying to say that. But for some reason, they just think that Jasmine made it up. That's what they said. Yeah, that's easier for them to say other than everybody is saying that he does it, which means that he probably does do it.

Honestly, I feel like maybe him and Jenna had some conversations and they were like, you know, how you can like spiral down a rabbit hole, sort of like the way Daniel will spiral down a bottle of vodka, you know, and I just feel like maybe that's what happened. Speaking of Daniel, why are you hiding under the table with a bottle of tequila? You're supposed to be with the kids. Sorry, Daniel. Hi. Don't know. Wonderful.

Zach's like, yeah, Janet, you didn't let Jason off the leash. Like, how could he cheat? Like, let's come on. Let's be real, okay? Like, that's what upsets me. Yeah, I feel like she wants to stir the pot. I'm just like, why do you want to stir a pot? I'm also jealous that she has enough room in her apartment that she can stir pots.

And Kristen's like, I just don't. At first she shut it down and I was like, okay, it's over. But now that she's making it into this huge thing, now it looks weird, which I agree. They're making it such a big deal that I'm like, who do you fuck? Because obviously it's somebody. Like, what are you guys hiding now?

So Zach's like, yeah, she's ridiculous. You know, like if Jax does something bad, Brittany, by the way, Brittany, it's time for a Brittany conversation. Hold on. Let me squeeze my eyes so they kind of made me cry. Brittany. Yeah, this Janet discussion is fine. But like we're all here in the NoHo Arts District for me to have my scene. So can we sag into it right now, please? Thank you. Yeah, you guys. I just want to start with a little hyperbole. What?

Never mind. Brittany, like, our relationship, like, you've always been, like, pretending everything's fine with Jax. And, like, you protect him. And, like, you're like, he didn't do me. He didn't mean it. He didn't do anything bad. And that's the same thing you do with Jadat.

And Kristen's like, yeah, keep doing it. Keep going. Keep going, Zach. You're doing great. Heaven forbid I do or say or step out of line in any sort of way and I'm held to this totally different standard and that you don't specifically have my back in that moment. I mean, I do think Zach is right in having an issue that Janet comes between him and Brittany. Shoulder roll. Yeah, I see that. And I also feel the same way about Janet and my friendship with Brittany. Another shoulder roll. Good call.

Yeah. And Zach's like, Kristen and I are your best friends. And Kristen's like, yeah, I mean, like by tears, like we're a better tear. Zach's like, yeah, we're like top tier. And Jared and Janet are just like in the back. Like they're like the bottom of the tears with like the dust, like the dusty webs.

I love him advancing the Jared feud, even though the producers have no interest in it whatsoever. He's like, as we all saw earlier in this episode, Jared is bottom tier, correct? Like, no, we didn't see that. So Brittany's like, no, you guys are all my best friends. Okay, I'm very lucky that I have so many close friends. And if I could give each and every one of you a bottle cap that Janet found in the sand, I would. Okay, but guess what? I'm talking to them. And when I talk to them, I'm going to tell them your class point of view. So for instance, when Janet says, Zach is so mean, I go,

Yeah, that's pretty nice of me, I think. Yeah, I mean, when you say Janus, you mean I said, no, you see, it's fair. He's like, no, it's what I'm talking about. Oh, my God. I had like a visceral reaction to that. You should get your heart checked. The Brittany that I knew in the past is not the Brittany that I'm here with today. And it kind of sucks because like we've been through like

Like so much. Like when I had horizontal bangs, when I had diagonal bangs, when I went back to horizontal, when I met Bungie. We've been through like so much. Well, I just don't want you thinking I like Janet more than I like you. It's just that I like Janet more than I like you. I hope that cleared things up. Visceral. Visceral reaction. Well, I don't want to work out right now.

but i support your journey it's time for a commercial it's time for a crappin's commercial

Every big moment starts with a big dream. But what happens when that big dream turns out to be a big flop?

From Wondery and At Will Media, I'm Misha Brown, and this is The Big Flop. Every week, comedians join me to chronicle the biggest flubs, fails, and blunders of all time, like Quibi. It's kind of like when you give yourself your own nickname and you try to, like, get other people to do it. And the 2019 movie adaptation of Catastrophe.

At 24, I lost my narrative, or rather it was stolen from me. And the Monica Lewinsky that my friends and family knew was usurped by false narratives, callous jokes, and politics. I would define reclaiming as to take back what was yours. Something you possess is lost or stolen, and ultimately you triumph in finding it again.

So I think listeners can expect me to be chatting with folks, both recognizable and unrecognizable names about the way that people have navigated roads to triumph. My hope is that people will finish an episode of Reclaiming and feel like they filled their tank up. They connected with the people that I'm talking to and leave with maybe some nuggets that help them feel a little more hopeful.

Every

Every successful business starts with an idea. And on The Best Idea Yet, we're obsessed with those light bulb moments. Like how a bored barista invented the Frappuccino during his downtime, and then it got acquired by Starbucks. Or how Patagonia's iconic fleece was inspired by a toilet seat cover. On The Best Idea Yet, we dive into the untold origin stories behind the products you're obsessed with.

and the bold risk-takers made them go viral. These are the wild ideas and insights that made Birkenstock the best-selling sandal since Jesus. And made Super Mario the most played video game in the history of attention span. Yeah, Nintendo almost became a ramen company until Super Mario saved it. New episodes drop every Tuesday.

And now it's time for Nia and Danny to go have a lymphatic massage at a place called The Tox. The Tox. Yeah. A lymphatic drainage massage supposed to release and drain toxins from your body. Sort of sounds like this when the toxins leave. It's good that we're doing that after spending the week with a couple of toxic people.

So they go in and Nia talks about being insecure about her body because of all the babies. So she just wants to like get this baby thing out of her and done with so she can go get her body tightened up. And he's like, oh, you go to Santa Clarita and I'll impregnate you. That's all I need, baby. Yeah.

I mean, I just want to have a mommy makeover and I'm not going to do it until we get this freaking other last baby out. So now they get their massage. And then this lady is like going to town on Danny's thigh. She's like, he's like four under four, four under four. And that's what he does. He's like, I'm having a fourth child, four under four. Yeah.

I, you know, they seem very nice. I cannot hear about another fucking child. I don't care. I don't want to hear about it. I don't care how many children you have. You're doing this to yourself and you're doing this to us. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. So now we go back to Janet and Jason's and Janet and the baby are back in the ball pit and they are still playing around with that sheer scarf. The sheer scarf, the ball pit, the low hanging hood. This house has a lot of calamities happening in it.

And Janet's like, oh, my God, I have not been in a situation like this where I'm sitting in a ball pit crying all day. I mean, I could have died today. I could have died. Jasmine basically almost murdered me in front of my child because he knows he senses what's going on. And he was like his first words came out today and he said, Mommy, don't die. I said, I'm sorry. It's Janet. It's Janet.

Oh, look, I found a bottle cap in this ball pit. Jasmine. I mean, a bottle cap. And then he said, ow. And I realized there was a bottle cap in there. Damn it. Said Fanta on it. So Jason's like, yeah, when we were talking to Jasmine, the way she looked at you and spoke, it was like, it was just like you were the scum of the earth. I'm like, wait for Bravo con.

So Janet's like, I just, I don't understand what's going on. Like it hurts really bad. It's like playing skeeball and not a single ball goes into the big circles. It's just terrible. I just, I just feel like I'm being dumped out of nowhere.

She talks about how Jasmine was her friend for so many years and it just feels like her friendship's been discarded. Oh, who cares, Janet? You're an asshole and people call you an asshole and then you cry like a victim. Okay? Stop being an asshole. So this scene isn't really about Janet or her ball pit. This scene is about how we're supposed to really feel for Jack. So can we please bring the Trixie Monocle Violin Quartet out for a Jack's call? A Jack's call.

So now Jax is on the phone and he's like, today was kind of like a rough day. I mean,

It's just like with my therapy. I mean, overall, it's been really, really good. Like, really helpful. And, you know, I got on some old stuff today. And I'm just trying to really figure out where my anger is coming from. I'm just so tired of my anger. I'm so tired of yelling. I wish Brittany would stop making me yell. I just lost all when I found out about Julian. Oh, my best friend. It's just so awful. But you know what? I pushed Brittany away. But she wanted to be pushed away, to be fair. And I just... I pushed her and pushed her. And I didn't even fucking see it, you know? And I just... I didn't realize what I was doing. And, like, I've gotten so...

I've gotten away with it for so long that I found this to be acceptable behavior. And it's really her fault. Cause she was the one who let me get away with it for so many years. I mean, Oh, but I'm really, I'm doing better. I'm doing better. I just wish Brittany told me to stop. That's like crazy, but she didn't, you know, like I have to be supportive of Brittany for not being able to tell me to stop it. Cause like, it's been really hard on me the way she's just let me go. I mean, what a piece of shit, this fucking guy, like he gets worse every single time. He's like, guys,

I've been horrible and I'm so upset that Brittany, like, let me think this was acceptable behavior. But now that I've learned that it's Brittany who's fucked up, hopefully I can fix Brittany enough that I'll be okay. What? This is...

This was... He's presenting like he has had epiphanies and is taking accountability. But there's these little lines he drops in there like, oh, I wish she hadn't let me go this far. I wish she had left me earlier so I could have had this moment. He literally says...

I wish Brittany would have left me a fucking long time ago. Like he's still blaming her. Yeah. It's changed me. So I wish she'd done it a long time ago. Cause look how changed I am. No, you're still here blaming somebody else. You shit head. You haven't even changed your shirt. You're in the same fucking outfit. You've been in the same drawn on eyebrows, take a shower and please stop putting him on this show.

So Jason says, yeah, well, you know, like if you really want to help Brittany, you know, she mentioned the mortgage hasn't been paid. So maybe you could pay that. That would be a good step forward. He's like, well, I have a situation for that. You know, Brittany and I have a podcast. It's huge. It is basically the Rogan of couples and, you know, huge deal. So I'm just going to let her have the money from that for a while, you know, like whatever she could have the RSS, like whatever.

So we find out later that he's not even doing this podcast. It's been her doing it solo, earning money that he's been taking half of while she's been doing. So Jason, he's like, wow, man, this is the first time I've talked to you where you've taken like full accountability for things and not said, I messed up a brand. You did this or I messed up, but this happened. Like you're taking full accountability. And this is, I see like legitimate change. I was like, are we listening to the same phone call, Jason? Cause I'm hearing this.

bullshit with subtle insertions of blaming Brittany for why not even subtle, flat out, blaming Brittany for his shit. And, you know, Janet's like, wow, I'm so impressed. And Jason's like, why am I crying? Because I've been like crying 20 times in five days. Cause you're surround yourself with horrible people and then support them. Yeah. Now it's interesting. Cause we've said before, like, Oh, we don't like this. Like pro Jack's redemption. Yeah.

angle that the show is doing. I actually think the show is not giving him a redemption. I think the show is sort of doing a troll, is actually trolling Jax because every time they do, Jax checks in from rehab and he talks about his progress. Every single time he does that, they immediately follow up with a scene where we see he is actually just as wretched as he always was. And I think the show is

I think the show is totally making fun of him because they're like, yeah, OK, like this is his bullshit. Now you're going to see what he's really doing to Britney. Well, I like that they did that today for sure. This is definitely the most blatant follow up we've had. But, you know, the Jacks like they literally play tinkly piano music. He's doing is I just I can't.

So we go to Brittany's and she's still pissed about the condo. The condo. I'm so upset about the condo. And she's going to be taking over the mortgage and this and that. So she's talking to her mom. Mama, I need a ladder. He hid the ladder from me so I can't cover up them cameras again. What a weirdo. He's not going to just spy on me whenever he had it covered the entire time. I mean, two can play at this game, buddy. Two can play at this game. Take the cameras out.

Yeah, yeah. So she's covering the cameras back up again. This is also fucked up. And she's like, well, my plan moving forward is just, Randall's just going to sit vacant there for two and a half months. That's okay. Because, like, I'm doing okay and I can afford it right now. But, like, I got to figure something out because that's a lot of money. So they FaceTime. She FaceTimes Jenny, who's Jax's sister, which I guess I just feel like don't even, I understand, like, Jenny seems, like, fairly normal person.

But why are you... I would just cut out the entire family. I would not talk to any of them. Well, Jenny's also a Jack supporter. So you're calling Jenny under the...

Under the guise of Jax is sick and he needs our help. And we should be talking about poor, sick Jax, which shouldn't be the thing. It should be Jax is abusive and he's ruining my fucking life. Are you going to help me or not? Yes. But this whole like, let's check in on Jax is so gross. I hate it. So she's like, well, Jenny, I want to catch up with you, obviously, on everything. Did you guys ever get that GoFundMe money that you that people had to make so your mom could pay for your dad's funeral after Jax took off all the inheritance money and never helped pay?

How's that going? But no, we never get a question like that. Instead, it's poor Jax, you know, and then we find out that Jax stole the wedding rings and the wedding bands probably to change them in for something that goes up his nose. And Jenny's like, wow, they're missing. Wow. What a shame. Hang up on Jenny right now.

Yeah. This is he hasn't paid the mortgage. And yet the wedding rings, the jewelry is missing, but the money has not been paid. So then and she's like, yeah, like, I don't know where they are. Like, well, like, I don't understand. So this is why she's really calling Jenny because she wants to basically be like, Jax hasn't paid the mortgage. So maybe you should pay it because you're his sister. And like, that's like bullshit. And also like, where the fuck are my wedding rings? I need you to yell at Jax for me.

So, but Jenny's like, oh, that's too bad. Not falling for it at all. Trying not to show her fingers.

So then the producer's like, oh, Brittany, I just got a text from Jax. And so Jax has just texted Brittany. And it's like, I can hear everything. You fucking idiot. You look like an idiot on TV. You look ridiculous talking about this right now. I can't believe you. Childish behavior. Yeah, childish behavior. And she's like, this is crazy because those cameras don't have sound on them. So what, he bugged the house too? He put a microphone in here? I mean, this is...

Jack's so jacks. Why is he like this? I'm like, because he's a narcissist and he's, he's demented. I'm sorry. That's why he's like this. Don't question it. Just leave it. So then Britt saying like, well, unless he puts some secret device around the house, our interior cameras don't have sound, but we are speaking about Jack Taylor here. I don't put past, but anything past him anymore. I've given up hope. It's like, uh, unless he puts some devices around,

I think there's like a good chance if Ralph from Atlanta can put the devices around, Jax can definitely put them around. He's probably got something on your phone.

he's probably found like some way to mirror your phone that's sending himself well it's one of two situations either he has planted devices which is up or the other thing is he saw on the security cameras that he came back into the house so he wants to rattle her by saying by pretending like he can hear even though he can't but he just knows it'll get under her skin both ways are despicable both options are terrible

And we also find out in this scene that he not only hasn't paid since May, it's been a lot longer than that. And the house is in foreclosure now. So, yeah. And I think someone said that on the after show, she said it was over a hundred thousand because it had been since October or something. And then she's taking over the mortgage. So does that mean it's going to impact her credit because she's taking over the mortgage? I don't know how that all works. No, she's just going to be paying for it. I'm sure he didn't sign the house over. He's not going to sign that house over without...

She's just mean she's going to be paying for it. So then Jenny's like, oh, hold on a second. He's he's calling me very convenient that he decides to call her because like, you know, of course, he's going to yell at her for doing this shit with Brittany on camera. Yeah.

So then she calls back. - This is rough, my God. - It's crazy. So he calls back and she calls back and he's like, "Oh, he's going to the hospital." She's like, "What do you mean?" "His blood pressure is super high." And then Jenny says, "Yeah, he saw you guys putting on the stickers, you and Sherry." "Oh, Jenny, stop being compulsive." - "You've killed Jax." - "You've killed Jax." - If his blood pressure is going up because of that, the same thing that he did to his own wife, then...

Then let that pressure go soaring. Let the brain. I don't care what people say. I agree with you. And I don't care what people say about Jenny. She needs to hang up on fucking Jenny because fuck her. Jenny calling to like relay Jax's manipulation is bullshit. Like, oh, my God, he has to go to the hospital. And Brittany's like, well, my biggest fear was it before he went there was he's got to go because he's going to have a heart attack.

And Jenny's like, yeah, well, both of my uncles died before the age of 50. She's like, oh, my God. Well, I don't want him to die. But fuck off, Jenny. OK, were both of your uncles abusive pieces of manipulative shit? Like, was it also caused by the women in their lives? Hang up on Jenny.

Well, they do hang up. And so she turns to her mom, mom, come over here. Okay. Jack just wrote me this really long email saying in terms of the mortgage, I've been trying to contact the bank to pay off what is owed, but they just let me know the home is in for, by the way, here's the bullshit already. I've been trying to contact the bank. It's not hard. Right. We all, let me tell you something. Um,

It's 2025. You do this stuff online. You get an email that says, mortgage due. Okay. It's not like this. It's automatically drafted from your fucking account. The fact that it's been this long means you stopped the draft on your account. Yeah. The banks are not going to make it hard for you to give them money. Okay. It's very simple to reach out and be like, I owe you money. I'm going to pay you. They'll be like, yes, come on in, sir. So him saying I've been trying to contact the bank means that he was not trying at all. He's just now been caught.

So and then he says, I will not be paying anything after this month. I will not be paying anything more. You'll be responsible until we sell the house. And they just laugh because obviously that's not true. They'll both be on. If they're both on the mortgage, they'll both be held responsible. But she's like, I just was hoping for change, which was your first fucking mistake. She just keeps going. And then the kid comes over. So get over here. Get over and let me get them boogers out of your nose. I used to call boogers. I taste like casserole. That's weird. OK, go over there.

What is the metaphor? Plucking the booger out of your nose. And that's what she needs to do with Jax. Pluck that booger out of her nose. Well, I mean, it is. Her picker is broken. Even her son doesn't have a good picker. He's always got boogers in his nose. Like, learn to pick your nose. What kind of kid are you? Let's learn. I'll teach you. So then Brittany is like, oh, and so he says he's going to just let me keep all the money from this podcast. He told Jason and Janet he was going to let me keep this podcast money. And now he's saying, okay.

I'm going to have to figure out how to pay this whole mortgage and everything else. He's just so gross. It's like hurts my feelings to watch. I like watching it. I find it fascinating because it's real. It's something that's so real that's happening. And it's also great for people to see.

that like they're pieces of like Jax is Jax is only one of thousands millions of pieces of shit guys that do this that are just like total narcissist pigs and I I do enjoy seeing him getting like like they put this up there and we just all thrash them because uh this is totally unacceptable behavior for anyone to do to anyone else so
