[Female announcer] On this episode of Cribs...
Welcome to Nastia Liukin headquarters.
[Announcer] Olympic gold medalist Nastia Liukin
invites MTV to tour her stunning mansion in Dallas, Texas.
I also love hosting theme parties.
I'll show you a little bit more about that...
maybe my birthday costume.
[record scratch] Okay, wait, that was weird
because that sounds like I'm, like, naked.
-[crew laughing] -I meant like...
I meant like...
Okay...okay.
[Announcer] But first...
What's up, MTV? Welcome to my ranch.
[Announcer] We live the ranch life with actor
and environmentalist Adrian Grenier
and his peaceful Austin, Texas crib.
Back here is the bedroom.
We have vultures who live under the porch.
[bird sounds]
They just stick around, I guess, waiting for us to die.

It's got a nice 1970's chill vibe.
I'm very proud of this couch.
I found this here in Texas at an antiques fair.
Sia likes it too.
-Don't you pee on there. -[bleat]
This is a piece of art that I co-authored
with a friend of mine, Tim Kent.
It's Narcissus and Echo exposed.
It's imagining what would happen if he saw himself
in the tabloids acting the fool.
Might he think twice?

Back here is the bedroom.
I quite like this one as well.
And this is a painting that I bought from
an Austin Ukrainian artist down on Miami during our basil.
My wife got me this for my birthday...the magic mushroom.
It's beautiful. [glistening bells]
And we have vultures who live under the porch.

[music]
Back here is the closet.
I'm not much of a fashionista.
I just kinda wear what's on top.
But...this is where I keep my favorite tool.
I think they call it a Back Buddy.
It's to give yourself a massage...ahh.
You get to be my age, you need these types of things.
Ah, it feels good.
All right, we'll go to the kitchen.
Oh, and, this rug
we bought in Morocco.
My wife and I got married there.
I think I got a deal,
but when I came back and I saw this at IKEA, I'm not so sure.
[music]
One of my favorite pieces...
my good friend actually made this by hand.
I just think it's awesome, this live edge here.
It bows out. It's just really slick.
Of course, we've got our farm fresh eggs.
The price of eggs these days, this is like edible gold.
You want to see the refrigerator, don't you?
Of course you do.
That's it. That's what we got.
And I promise you it is always that clean.
We did not make it nice for you.
TBH...this is a better-for-you hazelnut spread,
which I love.
Of course...coconut yogurt.
What is this?
I don't know, might eat that later.
♪ Can't do it like me ♪
I'm really proud of this dining area.
I like narrow tables, so you can be close to your guests.
And we're Kintsugi Ranch.
And kintsugi is the Japanese practice
of mending broken pottery with gold.
And this is exactly what we're trying to do here on the land.
Trying to take what's broken
and bring it back into wholeness.
All right...let's feed the goat.
♪ Watch me go and do my thing ♪

[Adrian] Sia, come on, it's lunch time.
[chuckles] How cute is that?
All right, let's go for a walk, shall we?
She loves walks. [bleating]
♪ Drown out the sound that's all around ♪
So I decided several years ago to change my entire life.
I was living too much for a lifestyle,
Hollywood, New York, jet setting,
and I needed to be more grounded,
more connected to nature.
And so, I did.
[music]
So we have about 46 acres.
We have three ponds.
And we have 1,500 feet of Colorado Riverfront.
There's so much development happening here in Austin,
there's not going to be many natural spaces left
unless we start to preserve them.
So our ultimate intention is to create a nature retreat.
We're going to kintsugi this land
to become as God intended it to be.
♪ We gonna get it done ♪
Did I mention we have snakes? Be careful...Watch out!
Just kidding.
[laughs]
[Announcer] Coming up...
[kissing sounds]
Things get pastoral as we visit actor Adrian Grenier's
rugged Texas ranch.
This is the chicken run.
I particularly like this duck.
He's got some sort of hat on, or like a little afro.
He's so cute!
They're scared. They're chicken.
[clucking]
It's called chicken for a reason.

This is it...the Colorado River.
This is where we launch our kayaks.
So, we often will have breakfast
on our way to town via kayak.
Takes about 45 minutes, and then we get into
a really cool, historic downtown and it's awesome.
Come on, girls.
-Oh, woah! -[bleat]
We are now entering Devotion Avenue.
We call this Devotion Avenue because this
is where I proposed to my wife.
So what I did is I bought her a blueberry bush.
And I said, hey, babe, let's go plant this blueberry bush.
So I started digging, and digging...boom,
and I unearthed this old tin box.
And there was the ring.
And she said yes. [bling sound effect]
♪ I got that fire ♪
So here we are on the north side of the property.
We have our medicine wheel
'cause we want to grow all of our healing herbs
so we can heal ourselves through food.
[music]
This is the chicken coop.
Let's see if we can get them to stick around.
[chirping and squawking]
So these are the babies right now.
Eventually, we're gonna move them inside,
and then they'll start producing eggs.
We also have some ducks.
I particularly like this duck.
Look at him with the helmet.
He's got some sort of hat on, or like a little afro.
He's so cute.
They're scared. They're chicken.
[clucking]
It's called chicken for a reason.
[music]
So according to the old cowboy who sold me this place,
every rancher has to have a junkyard.
So this is our junkyard.
This is where we have all the odds and ends
and pieces and things we don't know what to so with.
We just throw them in there just in case one day
we have a use for them.
It reminds me of growing up in New York,
when I use to go dumpster diving.
I was an adept dumpster diver.

[Adrian] Welcome to the Mezcowl Bar.
It's an old holding pen for animals
that we converted into a ranch-style bar.
And I'm quite proud of it.
I designed it myself.
And we serve mezcal. Would you like a cocktail?
I think they drank it all.
[music running out of steam]
We're out. [hiccup sound]

[kissing sounds]
Hi.
That's Yoshi and this is Auggie.
-[bray] -[Adrian] Hi, Auggie.
Auggie is a miniature donkey.
And just such a lovebug.
And the only male on the property besides me.
Just me and this guy holding it down.
-Right, bro? -[braying]
[music]
This is where we keep the hay.
This is for Auggie. Oops, sorry, Auggie.
Well, you can have some too.
-You want some? -[llama sound]
Yeah.
And then over here we have sweet feed and grower.
And that's for Yoshi and Rosebud.

If not, I'll show you a little more about that,
maybe my birthday costume. [record scratch]
Okay, wait, that was weird
because that sounds like I'm, like, naked.
-[crew laughing] -I meant like...I meant like...
Okay...okay.
And this area is one of my favorites.
I think it's just so beautiful and nice and cozy,
except for these chairs.
They're beautiful but no one's really allowed to sit in them.
But this couch anybody can sit on.
You can even drink red wine.
At least once a week, there is a red wine spill,
or Harley might have a little accident or something.
Speaking of wine...
♪ Another round Another round ♪
This is obviously the bar.
These are some of my favorite little glasses...
the Olympics in LA.
Coming up, LA 2028...super excited about that.
And that bottle of Dom is from 2008,
just like the year I won the Olympics.
So, it's a nice little memory to have.
This is the dining room.
My boyfriend likes to sit and have dinner every night here.
I kind of am, like, always doing something.
But family meals, when we're trying to be very formal,
we have them here.
Another favorite area of the house...I'm a big wine girl.
It's also freezing in here. I hate it.
My boyfriend actually comes in here to cool down in the summer.
Which is kinda weird but, you know, to each their own.
♪ Oh-oh, I'm misbehavin' ♪
♪ So, I'm running out of patience ♪
This is the kitchen.
Obviously, Harley is already waiting for his treats.
When we moved into this house,
the countertops were the statement piece.
Everything else was white
and it just felt like it didn't quite go.
And so we re-painted. And by 'we'...definitely not me.
But I really feel like it kind of now all flows together.
But I still am trying to, like, keep it nice and vibrant
with the fruits.
It's just purely aesthetic, really.
And I'm a big order in kinda girl.
Ooh, lots of drinks.
Love a good espresso martini.
Clearly, really big on all different types of hot sauce.
And the most important part is the skin care drawer.
Lots of face masks... some face rollers.
We have, like, everything in here to get you covered
to start your day.
This is where we like to have breakfast.
I am a big fan of always having some kind of fresh flowers,
not just here, but throughout the house.
Since you were so patient, you want a treat?
Can you give me a paw?
Good boy. Up.
Good boy. Sit.
Down.
He will do anything for a treat.

Oh, okay.
Anyways, not quite the aesthetic if you know what I mean, but it-
-Necessary. -Okay, that's fine.
I am actually in love with this piece.
We were literally, like, middle of the night, downtown LA,
cars were zooming by.
And I basically jumped backwards.
And this is real life.
So, I'll leave you to it.

Secret's out.
[Nastia] My dad only has four Olympic medals, I won five.
Not that we're competitive or anything, he was my coach.
But...he won two gold and I only won one, so...
Another statement piece... this was the birthday costume...
Alice in Wonderland.
And you know what, the only thing to make it more iconic...
is Alice...
is also an Olympic gold medalist now.

Okay, so this is the primary bedroom.
I obviously needed a huge bed
because Harley and I take up lots of space.
Super, just like, calm and a little bit neutral.
Touches of red roses because you need a little romance, you know.
The best part though...
is the closet.
This lovely hat. I filmed a TV show last year
called Special Forces.
Most insane experience of my entire life.
And I walked away with a hat.
[giggles] No, but it made me have
even more appreciation for the special forces
and it was an incredible experience.
What I love to wear...
bright colors, neons... obviously, pink,
and, you know, a lot of accessories.
These are a fun little shoe... a little mirror ball.
And speaking of mirror balls, I did Dancing With Stars.
I didn't win a mirror ball.
But I have a cute mirror ball shoe.
So, this I wore at the Olympic trials.
My very last competition of my entire career.
I fell on my face.
[audience groaning]
I remember just being like, so embarrassed and so mortified.
And then I finished my routine, landed on my feet,
and for the first time in my entire life and career,
I had a standing ovation...
for the worst routine of my entire life and career.
♪ I like the body, I love the body ♪
So this is my podcast studio.
Up top you see the ESPY.
You know when everyone's like,
you should prepare in case you win, like, a speech?
I did not prepare because I was like, there is no way
I'm gonna win best female athlete.
And I did.
I remember getting to the stage
and Kobe was sitting in front of me.
And he always told me that
it's so important to have a muse in your life.
And so, I have this here as a reminder for me
to be my own muse, and also be a muse,
hopefully, for somebody else one day.

But this is where the magic happens.
Proud moment, here.
But it's empty...no Wheaties are inside
because they'd probably be bad by now.
This is the pink leotard that I wore at the Olympics
when I won the gold medal.
My dad's credential...honestly, I think I lost mine.
Uhm...not probably great.
But, pretty special moment to be able to share that,
especially with my dad on the floor with exactly 20 years
after he had his Olympic moment.

Actor Jonathan Bennett gives MTV an exclusive look

[Jonathan] Let's see what's inside.
We have cranberry juice
because I'm on an all-carb diet and the cranberry juice flush.
It's a Mean Girls joke.

Nicole Sullivan shows us her cozy Los Angeles home.
I had these wall coverings built.
