Ep. 109: "Graduation Day"

[@ct6852]

Gotta give props to Kristin. She's grown and changed in such a positive way. The way she listens with humility and can have a sense of humor about herself is awesome. She's still honest...but there's def more empathy there. Good on her. And she looks great, as per usual.

[@trinataco4493]

Or, we are seeing unedited Kristen rather than MTV version…

[@ct6852]

@@trinataco4493 Nah she was a bit of a brat. She's said so herself. It wasn't all editing. She was young though.

[@jordanthomas2010]

I absolutely love her! Even back then she was always my favorite

[@Wildmetalhead]

[@jamesgiltenan1909]

She’s also just like, not 17 anymore.

[@sierracindrell5775]

I wish they had video for every episode 😭 I’ve already listened once, but video adds so much to the show

[@Endlesslove29]

Videos are the best. I hope they can commit to videos. I hope they can get Lauren on

[@Wildmetalhead]

RIGHT?! Agreed! 👌💯 DM would do better if there were more Video Eps. 👌💯

[@eklypised]

I was wondering where the other episodes were at

[@diorme7510]

You can see Laguna Beach/The Hills/ The City and Siesta Key on the Whitney Port You Tube channel.

[@Julia-bv7px]

Steee-phen! We need you to address how the noogies/ aggressive rubbing of the hair was a love language of yours 🤣🤣

[@Miszally23]

Right lmao I said his name exactly like that when they 1stbstarted talking about it lmao

[@NBean90]

Omgsh yes, he was always messing up their hair and so aggressively 😩😂

[@mikeym88]

…that was his version of “a kiss on the forehead”

[@myabriggs8967]

Kristen is so naturally beautiful she’s just gorgeous with it without her natural makeup! I love how she has grown over the years and she’s just so amazing with great personality, great mom

[@MrsBrittanyGold]

Kristen, I know you were cast as a villain but we lovedddd you! You showed us how to be confident and not let anyone see you sweat and most of all not get too caught up with boys and always do you! You were my hero lmbo 👏🏽😂

[@blondyloxx1223]

Perfectly said! I second this. She was a great example of a gal with self respect. It was refreshing to see.

[@stephaniehamilton7029]

Nah, I hated her. 😂 because I was the sweet girl who was always treated badly by girls like Kristen. But that’s high school, we all grow up and I’m sure she’s not proud of how she acted some times. And some of it was fake or edited of course. I appreciate how she is now, still confident but reflective and caring.

[@Wewhosee-im3ii]

Kristin no one hated you, honestly everyone i know who ive talked to about the show, all LOVED you, because you were real and brave and not afraid to say how you felt! We all loved you and rooted for you since day 1! ❤❤❤

[@saraportela5932]

waited months for this back in video format, it was more than worth it.

[@vivsreds1006]

100% with you!

[@kayladouglas2063]

I love how Kristin says she hated getting pots and pans for graduation because the look on her face when she got them was priceless but now she understands because adulthood. I have respect for Kristin.

[@brandonweigt2655]

I really enjoy how Kristen listens and how beautifully she presents herself

[@Tisholgosit]

Omg I’m SO happy you guys are doing this and that I found this series. Kristin, you’re beyond beautiful and didn’t even age 5 minutes, but my God…Stephen, you’re so gorgeous, I’m gonna go cry in the shower 😭

[@LC_7_87]

I am glad they are doing this podcast! Their chemistry is just always there and I hope they know they have something special. Glad they continue their friendship and they both look so happy!

[@googlypub]

Haha yesss LC 😂

[@monicagrindstaff5489]

I was always Team Kristin. I love her. High school me related the most to Jessica and I was really into the Kristin & Jessica friendship.

[@daniellep6807]

I love their dynamic and how they can look back at high school and let go of any drama. Love them and Kristin seriously has THE BEST laugh

[@domij07]

I just binged watched season 1 & 2 of this show and I love that these two are still friends after all these years ❤

[@lizzyg5230]

Please put every episode of this podcast on KZbin I love seeing their reactions

[@CourageousDreamerAllon4journey]

Same!👍

[@Missy-tj9tm]

Yes, I agree with Steven. I was in HS when Laguna aired on tv and it was nice to see as a far as comparing to my experiences. Now as an adult I watch it again and it’s like going down memory lane and remembering the good old high school days. Love you guys and the podcast!

[@trinacrossin]

Please film for KZbin all of season 2. We love seeing you guys

[@Luke-Bryan-girlygirl-fan]

My fav season! I loved 2.

[@ziamarie]

It's crazy how it feels like time drags on while you're in school but then, like Stephen said, graduation day flies by and you wish it wouldn't. I love hearing these shows where Kristin and Stephen look back on the episodes and talk about behind the scenes stuff.

[@ishadeta]

This has been the best to rewatch the episodes and then listen to the pod.

[@captainofmysoul6162]

You two are lovely. Stephen has gotten more handsome, and seems to be such a sweet guy.

[@tiffsfitlife3730]

I remember the pots and pans, however Kristin got a new BMW suv for her grad present as well before heading off to college

[@jordanthomas2010]

Why was the newest one removed? I was watching it and now it’s gone

[@itsshelbywinston]

i wish you guys did all the episodes as video, it's so hard to be interested in a rewatch series without any visuals - however, very glad we have this episode as a video!

[@Shay416]

Yeah it feels like a missed opportunity...

[@undiscloseduser2004]

You guys literally do not post enough. I also want to hear you guys speaking about current topics that are more relevant in relation to what's going on TODAY etc. Thank you c/o 2004 here.

[@lmkk9118]

Here's hoping to a podcast like that with the two of them when this podcast is done!!

[@jeffcurran3546]

Kristin has a beautiful voice.

[@TashaVanNatta]

I wish yall would watch the show together on screen that would be fun to see yalls initial reaction

[@brian4878]

I graduated in 2007, so I made sure to make my graduation feel every bit like the LBHS class of 2004

[@uriahbleue1947]

Did you go to LBHS?

[@virginial7533]

Yay in person! We’ve been waiting to watch more! Great job with the podcast, it’s been fun to get the inside scoop.

[@MissMagan]

I've always loved Kristen. I loved her show as well. I was so sad when it ended.

[@cathygonzalez3571]

Hiiiii! I was watching episode 10 yesterday, and I got half way through it. And then it turned into a private video. KZbin, what happened?

[@swiftkarma4436]

And another one. LB is one of my guilty pleasures. Glad to have another episode of this podcast. The song played during the graduation seen always brings a nostalgic tear to my eye. Fast Times has always been a favorite of mine.

[@Wildmetalhead]

FINALLY there's a video podcast, omg. You guys need to do more video podcasts.. more people would actually watch it. Smh

[@divalove88]

Love these two together their energy and good vibes

[@jordanthomas2010]

I absolutely love you 2!! I’ve been a fan forever you guys look the exact same as you did in 2004!!!

[@makeupwithmg]

Love the video podcast! You guys should do the rest of the podcast this way 💙 love that you guys can laugh at the past now, we all have things we were embarrassed about, but not all of us have it filmed to remind us lol.

Loved season 2!

[@josecrespo-romero2998]

I totally love these 2 together! ❤

[@NathanRyan...]

i was obsessed with this show and i always had question, this podcast answered everything and i know it may seem not as real as we thought, it was still super special

[@CazkiwiNZ]

We loved to (enviously/pretend to) “hate” her back then ‘cos she was living the teen life most girls wanted (the looks, confidence, boys, lifestyle) … and now we just totally love her! She’s amazing, a fierce boss babe (but I knew that from her “reality” show too!) 🤗 I’m enjoying seeing how Steeee-pheeennn has grown too! Loving watching this side-by-side with Whitney and Tim’s episode reviews… wish there were more videos of these BTTB podcasts, but I’m listening on Apple Podcasts and jumping back here for these video episodes as they pop up, straight after watching the correct episode review on Whitney’s YT channel… totally loving the insider view!

[@HiMyNameIsJonathan]

They still have chemistry. Super obvious

[@SoCalGuy20]

Stephen is still so fine! You're beautiful too, Kristin. I love hearing these behind the scene stories.

[@NBean90]

I can’t wait fort them to cover season 2😩😇

[@ChloRuiz0720]

I know so much drama!

[@Wildmetalhead]

Same!! I want Kristin's opinion over Jason & Jessica love triangle with LC!!!

[@rachaeldevoe4231]

I cried during the graduation episode as well . I think because I was class of 2005 but graduated early 2004 because I was pregnant. I never got to have a graduation like that and it brought me back to those times and omg I lost it 😭

[@anaaabooo00]

The first reality show I remember watching was The Real World also on MYT. I’m class of 2002 and watched Latina Beach when it came out. My high school years was a huge party, not with people I went to school with. A had a huge friend group of all different ages and I like Kristin, was always the young one. But I had my older sisters ID. 😀Kristin is still as beautiful today.

[@liliansitha1]

I always loved your voice in the show. I saw the show recently and I loved it again. 😍

Kristen was always my favorite! Still is! Both of them.

[@stephanievanhoesen780]

I remember watching this as a junior knowing my senior year was coming and my life was going to change and I was in tears. It was such a great episode. I even had an on-off boyfriend so I super related to your story line.

[@alexiswashington3559]

the fact that stephens sister didn’t go to his graduation still to this day bothered me. That wouldn’t even be an option in my family. How do you not take off work for $10/ hr. It was really sad and ridiculous

[@genevievea.6296]

Stephen really talks a loooot! Like dude, what's up with all the explaining and everything about each scene?! 😅 But love that Kristin never interrupted him and always listen... and present. 😊

[@Endlesslove29]

She wasn't in this episode that much. Makes sense that Stephen explained

[@Monkeymeee]

It’s a podcast, if he’s not talking then they’d just be blinking at eachother 😂

[@candiland2484]

He is super long winded. More back and forth would be better. She is so patient with him.

[@ilovebeee1]

I could never deal with being around a guy like Stephen…. He’s the definition of a mansplainer

[@Traither]

Totally I agree. He needs to get to the point. I’m sorry, he’s just so boring to listen to. If they want to keep this podcast going, do the videos.

[@KTdivKT]

Why’d they hide the one that was posted earlier today? The final episode of season 1

[@lmkk9118]

Was wondering the same thing. It wasn't the final episode. There is still one episode of season 1 titled, "Dunzo"

[@bty10]

I LOVE them!!! And I just finished LB not long ago before this podcast premiered and it’s just giving me all the feels 🥹❤

[@livinglifewithlaura2256]

Super surprised that Steven didn’t even get a grad gift. Starting to realize that he and Kristen were trauma bonded.

[@heatherjohnson1814]

Hahah not at all.

[@dawnboyajy35]

Graduating is a gift you give yourself and your parents. Not every little thing warrants a gift. They are hardly traumatized growing up in one of the most expensive and beautiful areas of the US. I can see them bonding over the MTV filming experience, but not because they didn’t get enough gifts.

@@cassandrawhitworth7213 She says on the next show that she moved to Marina Del Rey while in high school. Talan also dropped out of school during Laguna beach. Mtv and the cast was more than willing to lie about some things to give off the impression that their parents did things for them when they absolutely did not. It’s a much better story that her dad got it for her rather than she bought it herself. But she has mentioned many times in interviews that her dad only got her pots and pans for graduation

I think thousands of people subscribed to this channel just to see these two together discussing the episodes. But the channel probably lost thousands of subscribers once people realized that they were not getting episodes, let alone having to wait months for another one. As I said, everyone loves to see these two together, not just listen to a podcast. Probably kicking themselves for that move. Quite a disappointment as a viewer.

I think lots of women envy the wealth she came into when she married Jay Cutler......as well as the fat divorce settlement she got. It's easy to look gorgeous when you don't have to work and have lots of free time.
