All I can hear is Kristin’s “Talan!!!” “Stephennnnnn”😂😂😂

[@chanelworld]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@jordiem8059]

Talan is still iconic LOL

[@jennifervergara029]

Can’t wait for the episode with Jessica 🙌

[@amirahgood8033]

Gonna be so good!

[@sarahwashington1461]

Omg yesssssss

[@filmfilmfilm__0]

Saaaaaaammeee!!!❤

[@TeeAreEff82]

WHAT?!?! Jessica’s coming?! I thought she and Kristin had beef. I’m excited for her to come on the podcast!

[@ct6852]

Jessica always looked like a Disney Channel star to me. Feel like she could've been a good actress if she went that route. Def had the look.

[@SketchyMary]

I love how Stephan says “there she is” in every episode after Kristin introduces herself 😂

[@xtinamarie_333]

I get that all the time!! It's the best! It means someone loves you! 🤗✌️❣️

[@carriewilmoth1191]

My kid asking why I named him the name Talan 😂 he's 13 now maybe I should make him watch lol.

[@berdawn82]

Talon is the friend zone dude that all the girls wish they would have married

[@Royalopinions]

Talan was a party boy but cooked a romantic, Italian dinner for Kristin haha 😂 ❤❤❤

[@nimarie2477]

I just Love Talan !!! He's always seems so sincere & you can tell he has a good heart !!! It's so awesome to see him now as a grown man! It's apparent he still has the same good wholesomeness he showed way back when he was a kid !!! I mean the whole cast just seem like at heart they were good kids !!! You can't expect perfection from them all because when we were introduced to their lives they were kids !! Thats what I tell both my kids, 15 & 19, I never expect them to always do the right thing! Making mistakes & having regrets are how you learn...your still riding life with training wheels! I also can't wait to see the future guest line up as well!!! Thanks Stephen & Kristen for taking time out of your lives for us fans !!!! 💪💖👑🤠

[@AbiCroCro]

Talan really grew into his personality!

[@talantorriero]

is this a good thing?

[@AbiCroCro]

@@talantorriero it issss, you seem so much more relaxed. I guess that’s what happens when you’re not a teenager with a camera crew following you around, huh. It’s so nice to see how you “turned out”. Also very funny to hear your reflections about the show.

[@laurenledesma5924]

[@bretzky9261]

This guy is a legend. Still killing it.

[@Coast2Coast88]

I still see a little innocent love triangle here from the ghosts past 😂 like their high school selves are coming out momentarily feeling their feelings 😅

[@torij20]

Talan living in Elkhorn and wearing cowboy hats and boots is hilarious! It's the preppiest part of Omaha area. Too funny! 😂

[@ANuStart8]

Kristin has ALWAYS been ahead of her time. I used to think she was too intense (and also sometimes that was an mtv manipulation). But now i watch the show and her personality is refreshing. Also, Stephen does not get enough credit for how sweet of a kid he was, and still is. I really enjoy hearing his moments of self reflection because not a lot of people have that.

[@ANuStart8]

Awww i love Talan. I never felt he was nervous. He always looked confident and like he was in control of the game. Glad to see he is doing so well!

[@ell4875]

This is finally "closure" Talan 😂

[@callatelabocaaa7874]

Lmfao!!!

[@florbahs]

Episodes w other guests of the show are ICONIC

[@amirahgood8033]

Ok, I see now. Talan is handsome, but his personality is fun/nny too. See why the girls gravitated to him. Sn: So good to see them together again and doing well.

[@Swayz7777]

He is really active on TikTok and he talks with fans. He’s such a nice guy!

[@talantorriero]

appreciate it 🙃

[@albertsiochimarasigan6105]

Hi talan how are you doing and did you have fun doing the dear media podcast with Stephen and Kristin

[@HIGHTS]

Such a trip and so cool how there's no bad blood, just a fun catchup between old friends

[@jjstone9017]

Talen the Rico Suave lol

[@swiftkarma4436]

I was WAY too old to be watching LB when it aired but it was a fun show. My favorite guys were Talan, Trey, and Cedric was a riot. I found it so cute when he (Talan) was confessing his feelings for Taylor. I also actually liked his singing at the fashion show. 😊 It's great to see these kids, now adults are well. I'd wish you guys would do reaction videos while watching the show. I'd watch it.

[@elveestef]

Me too! I think I was in my 30's when it premiered. I just loved the cinematography of sunny California, especially because I was living in the Pocono Mountains the year it aired. Love all these kids and so neat to see how they've grown. Kristin was always my #1. Love that girl and really enjoying this podcast.

[@amirahgood8033]

Same. 29/30ish 😂

[@swiftkarma4436]

I was in my late 20s as well. The cinematography was amazing and the show introduced me to some good music. I have many of the songs on a playlist that I still listen to. Glad to see I wasnt the only one LOL Class of 1996🤭

[@rorygallagher6071]

Don’t feel so bad, I just turned 47 a few days ago and I was hooked on Laguna from day 1. I definitely feel I was too old but it was like my 90210 back when I was in school. I had seasons 1 and 2 dvd set and would watch every rerun. LC was my fave . I liked most of the girls for the most part. Guy wise I liked Stephen , Talan and Trey. . I loved when Stephen showed up on Obe Tree Hill and did watch The Hills, mainly for Lauren. These podcasts are awesome and I love hearing all the behind the scenes stuff we didn’t know about…. This podcast(unlike the was it real? Where they’re so u fairly rude toward Lauren ) is so refreshing and honest , but without getting petty. Oh and I love when MadTV did a skit. The song went “ we’re airheads, we’re all such stupid airheads “ Instead of the actual “we’re perfect ……. “.. well now that I rambled on to a novel, I think I proved the point that I got too into this show…. But maybe it’s not such a bad thing !

[@aesco510]

Yall age like fine wine

[@GenF91]

Glad to see Talan’s doing good! He still looks good too! Thanks for having him on guys!

[@Kholmi.28]

Talan was a fav and to see how chilled he still is.. Great episode

[@jasonbrown7312]

Talan like "What up!? 😂😂

[@nerd4778]

Finally the episode I was waiting for! We love you Talan!

[@filmfilmfilm__0]

STOKED FOR JESSICA!❤

[@MrsBrittanyGold]

Oh, I wished they would have asked Taken about Prom. He did not have a good time with Kristin, I would have loved to hear her side of the story lol

[@m.haynes]

I’m starting to think they should wait and have guests after watching the entire season just them so they can cover multiple episodes with each guest

[@laurenledesma5924]

I’ve always wondered if their final episode would be a “class reunion” because they said they would never do one around cameras, but they never said through a podcasts.

[@xpinkmartini]

@@m.haynesI agree they should wait to interview people until after the seasons over. They always interview someone before their iconic episode and never ask about it. I also wish they were watching it and commenting on it while watching it. I’d watch it with them too. That would’ve been cool. Like Whitney Port did.

[@kristolwinter]

I love this podcast! I find myself cringing and laughing like I was there with them haha

[@christina7215]

Stephen and Kristin look the same 😂

[@aliciakaput71]

I love this episode so much! I love Talan and Kristen relationship! ❤

[@kericudd4436]

omg I freaking love Talen so much

[@shaynasmith5461]

I feel like there is still feelings between them. I mean now that they're grown, what is stopping them. I love the idea of them.

[@heatherc.5760]

I own all seasons of the Laguna beaches DVD box sets my husband got me at super pawn in 2011. Still got em. They were expensive even at the pawn shop. Lol.

[@kikilee3241]

Me too 😂

[@danihopezim1122]

OMG! Needed to watch this video after this day(week.. month) but I LOVE Talen!!! He looks great, sounds like he’s truly happy and living a great life

[@carrietwidale2506]

Great episode!

[@km-ww3lv]

they should’ve talked about the story mentioned in the previous podcast where stephan says there was a time he walked in on kristin and talan

[@talantorriero]

i don’t remember this

That wasn’t Talan I don’t think

It's funny seeing people as obsessed as I was with these lot 😂

[@ANuStart8]

My ex used to make fun of me for watching it. I still cry like a big baby over the sappy episodes. The characters are relatable and are reflective of a much different time that I frankly really miss.

[@autonope23]

Its something you almost had to be there to understand lol that was one of the first few reality series MTV aired and it was about teen drama. That time was the wild wild west of the internet and reality TV. Such a fun time!!

[@nancerod7193]

Can’t wait to see Jessica she was my favorite

Talan is my favorite ❤️

[@elizabethvillagran1574]

We love you Talan !

[@caiseejc]

I think in high school Talan liked girls who already had boyfriends which is why he was single! And according to Lauren on Laguna Beach he did hook up with every girl…twice.

[@hayleybridger9418]

Neither of you brought up the cheating. Kristin said it in season 2 of laguna and that’s how it started the conversation lol

[@kristinenz113]

I love this podcast!!!!

[@untilwemeetagain2010]

Too bad you didn't get into Talan being the person who outed Steph-EN being back to his two-timing ways at the ski lodge (sorry not so sorry) because THAT was one of the BEST scenes EVER! As far as drama, that was A++++! He was so nonchalant about it! I honestly don't think he meant to do it in a cruel way, but he was just like, yo, he was with Kristin before that, so... Watching Lauren go from one emotion to the next after that announcement was priceless. Yeah, chocolates mean just chocolates sometimes. Finally, that was her ah-ah moment which she REALLY needed on a lot of levels, but what she really needed was to apologize like a lady to Kristin for being a clinger to Stephen because that was just not cool no matter what Kristin and Stephen had between them. That's my bottom line. People gush about her maturity, but none of that behavior was even an ounce of maturity shown by her, and I think it needs to be said more often that this is the case. Stephen also is not innocent in encouraging it. I think that's why I am Team Kristin so hard TBH. Anyways, Talan was great and such a gentleman, and I think there is this layer of kindness to him that is so sweet and vulnerable that just makes him great TV, and I loved how he said Kristin was ahead of her time with "girl power" and being a boss bish! Trust me, there are a lot more fans of us out here than you think, Kristin. Who wants to support a girl who tries to cling onto someone guy who is in love with someone else under this guise of friendship to excuse it? I don't know about you, but those are the kind of girls I don't like and NEVER will, and I still have issues with Stephen pretending that it was all okay. P.S. Please upload Dunzo's podcast epi already although it never fully addressed did or didn't he HOOK UP with LC in SF. Oh, that question will it ever GET answered producers? That's kind of huge, and I think it explains Kristin's attitude S2, and she basically says it at one point when they talk. I don't think she would just be cold/removed for no reason because she wasn't even like that S1 with Stephen BEFORE they got back together. Kristin is not that girl. That was pain showing through and a wall up to save herself more of it. Also, Dunzo's episode highlights that lovely last moment with Stephen and Kristin which I think is one of the best scenes of the series as well because it is genuinely two people in love who are being real about how hard it is to leave behind someone and even worse be left behind. It's a shame that you had to tarnish that with the SF part of it, but that's just me. Keep up the great work you two! Can't wait for the upcoming episodes! P.S. For those who keep saying Kristin brings up Sam, I think this episode finally sets THAT record straight. :)

[@sarahb_]

Totally agree. And I think Kristen is the type of person who as some as someone lets her down she is dunzo. Unfortunately life if full of people who let us down.

[@ell4875]

By the way Kristin and Stephen were wondering where Sam was during that restaurant dinner in Cabo when Stephen got drunk. Swear blind Sam is seated further down at the same table!!

[@kellymosher1300]

Kristen you were my favorite because you were just like me in highschool. I was si boy crazy and lived to hang out and party. And unfortunately I was hated by alot of girls because I guess maybe jealousy. I had si much fun In highschool. But it's funny because now I am the complete opposite of that. I've been single for like 8 years. I do not like most men and I prefer to be alone. You seem very similar to the girl you were in highschool. And I love it

How does everyone meet Frankie? Ive watched and listened so many KZbin's and podcasts and everyone seems to know Frankie! I need this missing information from everyone. It's so weird that y'all move from Laguna Beach to LA which both are big cities to me.

TRUTH. Frankie was more ubiquitous than Brody. Apparently he just randomly worked in the same building as Heidi as well.

He was also engaged during the laguna beach Filiming to Kimberly Stewart, one of Paris Hilton’s friends. I don’t think he really dated anyone on the show
