White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
So it's just cooking. It's cooking the vomit.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
Yeah, we had to get underneath it, turn it off, wipe it down. Just me, just cleaning up on my wife's birthday.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
What'd you get her for her birthday? This is the most annoying thing. I was like, hey, what do you want for your birthday? Like a thing that I could buy you? Maybe we could do an experience. We could get a chef to come and make breakfast.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
She just said, you know what? I would just love to hang out with you. Oh, you're a horrible husband.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
But a chef would have been... Yeah, because you could have knocked that shit out in an hour.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
Who knows where I could have been career-wise?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
The guy who gives the tickets looks at my wife. He goes, you can't park here. And my wife's like, that motherfucker don't know what the hell he's talking about. But he knows that you're right either way. You're in a great position. Because either you move the car and you're right or you get a ticket and you come back and you go, oh, that's so weird. We got a ticket. I wonder why.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
Oh, he knows that I'm going to be fine.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism

Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
You know, he's dressed like a police officer. Yeah, which calling them meter maids is hilarious. I know.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
They are.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
Them and Air India are on the ops list. They don't have one uniform that fits them. Every meter maid I've ever seen is in like a size 3X.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
They're all Indian. They're all like Sri Lankan.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
Yeah. And their outfits are always too big. And they just, when they walk around, they got the big thing on their side and then they give everyone tickets. Yeah, it's very annoying. Bro, my wife has been girl-maffing tickets where she's convinced herself.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
Have you seen the new thing where they don't even put a boot on you? They just put a blindfold on your car?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
But I look at this, I'm like, oh, I could drive around that. Like, you pop your head out the window, and I think you easily can get away with it.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
I bet you a new wheel is cheaper. Oh, I mean, if you do a Persian tire change.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
Where you rent the same car that you have, switch out all the tires, and then return your car.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
Okay, this is... Buddy G-Wagon. One day, buddy. Just one G-Wagon.

Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
Why are they scumbags? All the car rental people are just the worst. You rent a car, you show up, it's not the car you wanted. They're like, oh, we can put you in a Fiat. And you're like, I'll just kill myself. Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude.

I'm sorry.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
I think the delusion in America specifically is imbued with religiosity because of Manifest Destiny. Yes. The whole point of America is like, yo, anything's possible and you can make all the money you want because God wants you to. Well, can you explain specifically what Manifest Destiny is?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
How that plays a part in... You can go west as far as you want and colonize and kill all the natives because he gives a fuck.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
They're both. If you look at Mormon business people, there's so many. The Mary Kay girls that do all the makeup. That first girl was Mormon. There's a whole sub-genre of Mormon mom talk. Like, where it's just, like, TikTok influencers that sell clothing and makeup and shit. All Mormons. All know each other. Just, like, no shame regarding, like, selling themselves. Because they're like, yeah, bro.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
Fucking go around and talk to people about Jesus.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
In my high school, they would drive up with a bus, five Jamaican ladies would be on it, and then you'd go on, you'd give blood, and they'd give you a movie ticket. And you got to skip class. Yeah. And so they would just milk. But there were 15-year-olds going on this bus giving blood like three times a week.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
Now let's get back to the show. Someone's convinced the whole time while she's doing the YouTube channel, she's like, the reason it's going well is because we're promoting God and LDS to the world. Like, that's the reason God has blessed us.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
changes the handle from like what is it eight passengers to what moms of truth moms of truth yeah so this girl is like a part of now it's them too yeah not even the family but she's still like you can you can describe she basically kicks out the oldest son the oldest daughter they go to college and they have complete cut off they can't talk to the family at all she says if you talk to the family you're gonna be bringing more demons into the house so for the sake of the family don't talk to us the oldest son gets kicked out because he masturbates you're missing a main detail the woman the the how'd you find out
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
Which is kind of far. I mean, it's insane. What does a therapist look like?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
yeah oh god yeah yeah she was sitting front row at the maple leaf yeah i must have fell asleep and bought her this shit because i don't remember that oh yeah so then basically for nine months the this woman and the therapist are raising the four other kids the husband's out of the picture two oldest kids are out of the picture and then she just starts abusing the shit out of the two youngest kids this is where it gets super fucked up and so who's abusing them
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
We don't do it for just to be good Samaritans. Yeah, the movie ticket is $40. They sell the blood for $600. It's like an insane market. They sell it? Yeah. Yeah, these buses are just selling it to the hospitals. And they make crazy money on it.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
The two of them together. The two moms. Jesus Christ.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
So moves the two youngest kids away from their childhood home into the therapist's house, which is like on a compound far out in Utah. It's a mansion in like the desert.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
And, like, the house is, like, retrofitted. It's got, like, bunkers underneath. It's got, like, a safe with, like, a panic room. It's got, like, food prepped for months. How does she have money?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
That's a good way to put it. And so the kids end up getting abused. Like they have to like go stand in the sun. They have to jump on a trampoline for like 12 hours a day. They force them to like run in like 110 degree weather. And then at one point they're just like bound with like ropes in the basement, just like tied up.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
And the mom documents everything in these journals, everything word for word.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
the buses were from the hospital that's crazy they're like independent blood harvesters from children fact check this please that seems insane okay so when hollywood does it they're like these evil elite jamaican ladies do it steal blood from children yeah the blood sled team yeah dude it was wild and you gotta skip class so it's a private company that comes and makes money off i don't
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
it doesn't matter the punishment needs to be more severe killer yeah so the way they found out is that the kid one of the boy that's tied up escapes from the house the therapist leaves the door open he escapes from the house runs across the street like all the way down the driveway like to the nearest neighbor knocks on the door
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
SWAT comes in, raids the whole house, rescues the sister.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
So then basically they go to court. They both plead guilty to six counts of, like, child abuse. And they both get, like, 30, 40 years in prison.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
Mine was just the Big Red Bus. That's what it was called. Yeah, we had the Big Red Bus. And they would just pull up, and you got to skip class. No parental consent form or anything.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
A strict rule. When you're in college, you can't talk to high school students. They were good guys. Oh, that's funny.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
The Ruby thing is crazy because she's forcing the kids to do stuff. She's like, hey, act sad. Hey, be sad in this one. And the kid's like, mom, I don't really want to do this.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
Yes. These motherfuckers would just go in a random red bus and just give their blood to anybody. I wanted to start this as a business in college where you go to spring break locations, pull blood out of people, then they get drunk faster, and you get their blood. Wow. That's a win-win. Oh.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism

He's old now. Yeah.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
Fucking hell. I mean, this is what Kevin Spacey did. What's that? He got accused of, like, abusing a kid, and he was like, oh, I'm just gay.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
Also, I agree. I'm team Kevin Spacey because I'm pretty sure all the accusers did end up dying. Yeah, so we're not going to sit here and accuse him of anything. No, I'm nothing. I'm Team Spacey, bro. Yeah, there's fucking demons in his asshole, that's for sure. Yeah, I love House of Cards.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
True.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
But who is this person making good?

White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism

Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
My mom told me not to do it.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
That's the grade you got on your driving test. Don't let me drive a golf course. Yeah. My mom told me not to do it because if I was on the operating table, they said they would harvest my organs. That's why I knew that was it. That's what my mom told me.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
Honestly, they might have been. They did a sperm donation bus right after. It was crazy. Can we speak to that?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
This is an interesting woman that's positive. Stop talking about me on the pod.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
Go, go, go. He said he wouldn't get a blood transfusion because he doesn't want another man's blood in his penis.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
Wait, but does she say that she's... Hold on, pause the audio. Does she say that she's neurodivergent? I mean, look at the face.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
It's like one of those classic party situations. Right, Miles? It happens all the time. Just keep podcasting.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
Can't we give a show time? Right? They had two great seasons. They deliver every time. The show opens with a murder, a mass shooting at a resort. And everyone on episode two is like, oh, this sucks. I agree with you. We're going somewhere.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
It goes crazy.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
The monologue is insane. Do you watch that?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
He basically just shows the endgame reductionism of sex addiction. So it's like, I was addicted to partying and sex, and then I got addicted to... I wanted to be the guy... I wanted to be the girls that were getting fucked, so I brought these guys over to fuck me. And then I wanted the girls to see me getting fucked so I could look her in the eye so she could see me getting fucked by me.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
And then the whole time, Goggin's character is like, huh? He's just being us.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
It's amazing. It's so well done. And it's perfect.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
I don't understand how you keep a straight face. You're going to stay here in Taiwan? You can't be in Taiwan. You can't die. That's the last episode, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's unbelievable. I mean, I've heard some theories. Go, go, go. That, because this guy's stealing all her lorazepam, right?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
And he's the only one that knows where it is. She showed him, hey, I'm putting my purse underneath this thing with drugs. That's my episode that I just watched, yeah. And then all of a sudden all the drugs go missing. And she's like, where are my drugs? And she knows that he's the only one that knows where it is.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
It's so fucked.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
So is it possible that she knows that he's drugging himself and that is somehow aware of the Empire falling down?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
They're like, which race can survive syphilis?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
yeah and then she's like shocked she's like what do you mean oh okay i guess i'll take two yeah this is the this is like that guy's the storyteller's like a real brilliant fucking guy my one gripe with this scene where the brothers kiss by the way my one gripe yeah it gives mdma a bad rap oh because they're all molly they don't know i don't think we know they're on a pill ah that everything feels awesome
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
He also has a face turn in this where he's like, yo, we don't do drugs. Like, why are you taking drugs? He tells the younger brother, he's like, don't do drugs. Yeah. And he's like, ah, fuck it, whatever.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
I don't know. I think it was literally just to see like what late term syphilis looked like, like untreated.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
Hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil. You saw that metaphor? No, no. At the very beginning scene, when you first see them all coming out on the boat, she has the headphones on.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
And the other brother's drinking a beer. So, like, they represent, like, the three monkeys. Oh, wow. Yeah, I saw it on Reddit. I was like, oh, that's really clever. But I know multiple people that won't do MDMA because they're like, oh, it makes you gay. And I was like, no, it doesn't. And then this comes out. I'm like, nah. Well, if you're gay, it does.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
That's the thing. I brought this up to my wife. She was like, yeah, that's so weird. I was like, I completely agree, but also if it was hot twins, we'd be like, pretty chill. No, that's... No. Girls? Wait, girls?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
But now I feel like she's going to be way more castable. Like after this, I feel like, oh yeah, we want her because of that. Yeah. Like she stands out so much.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
Brave. Yeah. Yeah.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh

White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
Or were they dating on the low for years and then... Yeah, they might have had a scoop or something. That's wild.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
Yeah, I think she's kind of stringing them along. One of them is evil for sure.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
I don't know what I'm thinking about. He got spun up. I think the three moms, the MILFs, I think they die. I hope they do. Oh, they're all moms. Yeah, I think so, yeah. I think they die. One of them is married.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
The foreshadowing is that they're all walking down the street and they all got water guns and all the water guns are shooting them. And they're all getting sprayed with the water guns when they're walking down the street of whatever that main street is. And I think that's foreshadowing for all things being shot.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
Yeah. Like the fact, go. I think when COVID happened, that LA crop, there was like a huge chunk of them that went to Austin. To Austin, yeah. Like Joe included. I think he kind of led the way, but there was just a ton of other LA people that were like, oh, this is- Like a liberal city nearby.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
And Mike White is so good at picking up on subtle nuance that he's like, oh, this is the perfect thread. Yeah. Yeah, it's great. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
Yeah, I'm excited to see what happens. I'm gripped. I'm fully in. They got it. All right, what else we got, guys? This UMG Drake thing. Oh.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
No, if he does the halftime show at the World Cup, it shuts it down. Game over. I'm Team Drake. Before every show, I put on Drake's hardest hits. It's a playlist on Spotify. Drake's hardest song. It just goes crazy. You just hear a bunch of singing. It goes crazy, bro. It's only the hardest tracks, bro. This is God's plan. That's how I get it. It's God's plan, bro. I believe dumb shit.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
It's God's plan, bro. Manifest destiny.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh

I mean, McGreggy pulled up on Trumpito.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
Yeah, it's all redacted. Do we believe that? I don't think they're going to put anything out. They're not. I don't think they ever will. And if it does come out, I think it's going to be a political weapon against the people they want. They're going to be like, Iran killed JFK. We got to go get oil. You know what I mean?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
Like the Epstein one, the thing that I think Sagar even said, like they redacted stuff that was already out.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
So it's like, I don't know. I don't think we're going to know anything that they don't want us to know.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
Yeah. The sense I got was just like hesitant and like he sees that it's a risky play that could pan out, but he does see the risk that's involved in the strategy.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
He's rebranded. Have you seen how people rebrand the Teslas?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
It's definitely instilling fear.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
Yeah, yeah. I mean, this is like the animal protesters that throw tomatoes on a painting. They're like, who's that? Yeah. Have you seen how people are covering their cars now?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
Can you search Tesla, Mazda? And so people are now taking their Tesla emblems off their Teslas and putting different car emblems. But it's still a Tesla? Exactly. But they actually look really believable. That's all I got to do to switch up the Cybertruck?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
People do that. So this is a Tesla, and they put the Mazda thing on it. They're like, yeah, it's a Mazda. Oh. And someone did it with a Cybertruck. They just put a Toyota decal on the back of it to signal to people like, hey, I'm kind of distancing. Like, obviously it's a Cybertruck, but I'm trying to separate.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
White Lotus Saved TV, Drake Lawsuit Gets Worse, & Elon's Tesla Burning Terrorism
It looks kind of fire.

I was at Sprouts in Nashville. Oh, okay. Our last stop. Yes. And you met my little baby.

I drove around the parking lot to see if the bus was there and was a little sad, but you know, it's fine.

I do. It was March 1st, 2003. It's in Nashville, where I currently am at.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Children's Party
I was seven. I was going to my very first ice skating rink birthday party. Super nervous, super excited. And it was towards the end of Open Skate, right before we were about to get off the ice for cake and presents. I was going to show my mom how good... I had gotten at ice skating. I had picked one of my friend's moms. Her name's Betsy.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Children's Party
You have to start young if you want to be good. I will say most of us were gymnasts. So there's a little more agility there. Sure.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Children's Party
I didn't know this had happened because I am high on life. I'm the best ice skater that there is at this point. You didn't feel it because you were in shock, probably. Yeah. We go to the bathroom and my mom starts trying to wash my hands to kind of see the cut. That's when I noticed, obviously, the blood.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Children's Party
And I was like, let's not do this anymore because it's just pouring more blood out of my hand. She's like, OK. So she grabs my hand again, really tight, lifts it up above the heart and takes it to the counter with a bunch of teenagers asking for the first aid kit. They do their best. They wrap it up really tightly. Thankfully, the hospital was only about five minutes down the road.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Children's Party
So they get me back and they stitch me up. And my mom likes to tell everybody that I always said, no more numbing medicine. Just get the stitches in me because the numbing medicine hurts far worse than the stitches do.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Children's Party
Yes. Thankfully, other than my skin being cut, no ligaments or tendons were damaged.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

Every time we go ice skating now, anytime someone falls, I immediately clutch my own hands. Yeah. Wow.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Children's Party
More in my adult years. It took me probably about seven years after that before I went ice skating again. Ended up falling and falling on my head. Oh. Then it took another several years before I got back on the ice.

I broke something. That was my career-ending injury, but it wasn't that bad. It was just a fractured ankle. I was already phasing out.

I had some cold. I thought it went away. Now it's back. Yeah, these colds.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
I do. I'm a twin. We are the babies of seven. About six, they divorced and my dad moved out with his friend girl. Went to another state and kind of left my mom to raise all of us. And he made it really clear that he had left. When I was about 16, she was completely over me and my shit. And so she booted me out here to live with him. Just me. Left everybody back where they were.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
It's a boy. So he stayed back. We were freshmen in high school, but I was a pain in the ass. I have a 17 year old right now. And like, God bless her.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
I am so blessed by my children that I'm like, how did you do it? And she's like, I sent you. I didn't. So she sent me here and I was nice and sassy. And I was like, you know what? Why'd you leave? Like, what's your problem? Was she worth it? And he's like, wasn't the only one. For all I know, you're some jack guys, baby. Oh. I understood that this Jack guy was like a colleague of my mom's.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
I'd heard the name, but I'm like, you're deflecting. You're just trying to take the attention off what you're doing. I was very much not here for it.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
But yeah, fair enough. He didn't harp on it. He never really had a lot of nasty things to say about my mom. He was always very kind. He's like, she loves you. But he was tired of being the only one taking the blame. And he kind of wanted to get his story out there. But then we didn't talk about it again.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
No, that happened for about a year. And then after I had my third son, my mom mailed me my baby book. And the baby book had all these like cards and crap in it. And then there was a literal Western Union telegram, yellow with the tear on it and everything that said, congratulations on the twins. I'm so happy, Jack.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
Yeah, I'm curious. I tried digging and I can't find anything. And I just move on. So a couple of years later, me and my twin decided we were both going to try Ancestry and 23andMe. We wanted to prove that they were full of it. And everyone said the origins are off. We weren't really doing it for DNA purposes. We were just trying to play with it. And we were kind of right.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
Like his came up a little bit Irish and mine came up a little Scottish. And then the rest of it was just Eastern European. Didn't think anything of it. 2022, I got back in this Jack fix and I was like, I'm going to figure this out. So I started digging through 23andMe, which had matches that were like fifth cousin nonsense. So I was bored.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
So I was like, I'll log into my brother's ancestry because he would have different matches. And sure as shit, I opened up. It says parent-child match, my brother and Jack.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
Why didn't yours say that? Jack only did ancestry. Oh, you did different ones.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
Oh, I don't like to blow up my family over nothing. So I'm like, I'm going to do my own ancestry because I had done 23 so that I can catch my breath.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
We don't live in the same state anymore. So I just let it be. And I didn't know how to process, you know, that's a lot.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
I do my own. Ironically, Father's Day is the day I get mine back. I open it up and there is no Jack to be found. And it says that me and my twin brother are half siblings. Wow. Yeah, it's called super feed on cash. I don't know how to say it. No. It's very, very rare. There's like 10 cases in all of America.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
Isn't that wild? At literally the exact same time.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
What? I'm upset. Don't even know how to tell my brother that he's the only one of us seven that's not.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
My dad has got black hair and blue eyes. And my twin is the tallest out of everybody. He's like 6'1". I'm 4'11". And he's blonder. And so is Jack after doing lots and lots of fun research. So then I decided to go crazy on my ancestry and connect some more dots and just try to make sense of it. And I couldn't. I couldn't connect any more dots. So they have these things called DNA angels.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
I don't know if you've ever heard of them, but like huge shout out to them. They do it for free. They'll log into your ancestry and they'll help you connect some dots from fifth cousins all the way down to like maybe who your grandfather's father was. So I call on them. I'm like, help me.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
So she logs in and about 10 hours later, she calls me and she's like, I'm really sorry, but you're not your dad's either. What?
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
Stop. She's like, it's one of these three men. They're all brothers. They connect to a grandfather that my DNA connected to.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
She sure was. U-S-Y, busy. So I just started the top of the three men. He's the oldest out of all of them closest to my mom's age. His name is James. And about two hours into researching, do I not land on a photo of Jack, James, my mom, all at a conference the year of my birth. I mean, there's like 10 of them, but those three were in the middle.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
It's like my mom was in the middle and Jack and James. And I continued to find out Jack was the president of this company and they were the trustees. Now, hold on. Was it a threesome? I ask that question a lot. I've done so much investigating. The only thing I don't know is, did they take turns? Right.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
She'd like go down to the bar after. Exactly. Because it would have to be that fast.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
Right. I think it was an orgy. Even if she hyperovulated, the studies show it has to be within a couple of days.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
No, I haven't confronted her. You haven't. I told my twin, which kind of like ruined our relationship. No. So he called Jack because I'm sitting on it for months. And then he comes out here for our birthdays. And I'm like, so guess what? And he's like, mom got Eiffel Tower. And I was like, that's not funny. What's that mean?
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
He calls this guy because I had this guy's phone number. Mind you, both these two men are married 50 years plus. So they were married to these women and they still are. He calls him and he's like, hey, guess we parent child matched on Ancestry. And Jack's like, your mom and I agreed we'd never have any contact with you. So bye. Oh, my God. Well, he's afraid. Sure. And I'm not out here to hurt him.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
But he could have been like, here's a few medical things you might need to know. Exactly. Minimally, I'm sorry. Yeah.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
But he doesn't probably know that I'm James's. He probably thinks he has me and my brother out there.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
If your sister calls, it's going to be a longer conversation. He's not my dad, so I can't say anything to him. And then I looked up mine, and he was once upon a time the Supreme Court Justice of a Southern state. So I decided to leave that alone. Holy moly. And he's got kids and grandkids and I'm not ruining anyone's life. It doesn't change who I am. But are you like, what am I?
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
Yeah, I went to a conference on it. They're called NPE, non-parental event or non-expected parent. And a lot of people are just crying like, the mailman's my dad and my mom lied my whole life and it's my identity. And I'm like, no, it's not. You are who you are. Your blood's blood. I grew up with step-siblings. My kids have had a stepdad. I don't identify with who was in the room that night.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
I identify with who I turned out to be and the people that cared to stay in my life. I have great relationships with people that are blood and that aren't. Yeah. Yes. I'm bummed. And I can see why my mom always had just this undercover. I'm not so sure about her. Get rid of her. She just didn't like me.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
No way. That would just not only spoil her. Your dad left and cheated. Not only did he do that, but you doubled down, you know, and to tear down a woman in her late 70s. It's just like, what's the point? I told one of my sisters, the other sibs don't know, and she's like, you've got to tell her. And I'm like, no, I don't.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
Yeah, I think that they said in just America, there's 12. And then the other countries, there's more. But you don't have a lot of documentation on this. How many twins both do it? You just assume one's DNA is the other's.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
And like we shared a room and we shared a lot of time together. And I always thought we had this special bond.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
Thank you so much for sharing it. Yeah, you guys. It was super fun. I do need to give a shout out to one of my friends, Rebecca. She actually used your story to ask about dyslexia and she gives it to her students at the elementary school she teaches at. And she loves, loves, loves you guys. She got me interested in you guys' podcast.

There's two reasons. One, my eight-year-old daughter loves Taylor Swift.

And then my best friend growing up and I, that would be our code name. If we went to a restaurant and we didn't want to say our name or if we met somebody who we didn't want to tell the truth to, we would use Taylor. It goes way back.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
Okay, I'm going to try and do this as best as possible and stick with the timeline.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
One Saturday in 2012, I was cleaning my stove. I cut my thumb on the metal piece of the burner. I'm trying to push through like it's fine, but it just kept really hurting me. By Monday morning, my thumb was barely swollen. I had to go to the One is a Tdap shot and the other one was a flu vaccine. After I saw the doctor, I went to another room.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
I was in there with a nurse and she got the Tdap shot all fixed up, but she didn't know that I needed this other vaccine. So I saw her look at the paper, then realized, oh, she's getting another one. She came back in with the other syringe. She administered both shots into my arm and I went about my day. By that night, I was feeling really off.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
So the next morning I wake up and I have no energy whatsoever. I push through my day at work and I'm just not feeling good at all. So I call my mom because she's my best friend and I say, I think I need to go to the emergency room. So she meets me at my house. She's helping me change out of my work clothes and we noticed that my arm where I received the shots
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
was just so swollen and getting like little red spots. So my mom's like, I wonder if it has to do with shots that you got. So we go to the emergency room. They take me in fairly fast because I had such a bad fever. They give me all the good drugs and I'm still uncomfortable. And they try to say, you know, I think you'll be OK. I think it might just be allergic reaction.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
You should probably just go home. And I was like, no, I'm not going to go home. I stay the night. And so that was Tuesday night. The next morning, the nurse comes in to check my temperature and do my vitals. And she puts the thermometer in my ear and she looks at it and she has this face. She took the cap off and put a new one in, put it in her ear to look to make sure she was reading it properly.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
So then she drops the thermometer and just walks out the door in a really big hurry. My mom's a nurse. She went over and grabbed the thermometer and she looked at it and showed me it was 105.8. This is why I'm not feeling good. I'm glad my symptoms are showing the pain I'm in. They get three or four doctors in the room.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
So they're like, there has to be a pus pocket in your arm because my arm had grown so much bigger since just the day before. Oh my God.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
I know. I'm not sure how far I should go with this.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
So they pull out this needle, and it is huge. They put that in my arm three to five times, and it was excruciating. And were they pulling out puss? No, there was no puss. They were looking for it. They were trying. They didn't find anything. So they're all kind of like scratching their heads. And we knew one of the doctors. He was like, we're going to do all the tests for you.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
So I went into the MRI. As soon as I get out of the MRI, there is already somebody waiting to bring me up to my room. My mom, my dad, and my best friend were waiting right by the door. I couldn't even hardly say hi because the pre-op guy came to get me. Fuck. So it's my mom, my dad, and I in pre-op. The doctor that we know came in and he was like, we read your MRI and it is glowing.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
You have necrotizing fasciitis. What?
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
I think it is because they thought it was like an airborne disease. Luckily, it's not. So I got like a really good room. All the nurses that were coming in, you know, it looked like ET. Mercy. They were complaining. Completely covered. I thought you got that from going in the pond.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
Every time people see my arm and ask me the story, because I'll tell anybody, and they're like, oh my gosh, it's from the lake, isn't it? And I'm like, no, it's not. But now you're scaring me. I don't want to go in the lake now.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
My mom, being the nurse, knew exactly what it was. And I'm looking at him and he's like, well, it's flesh eating bacteria. It was the scariest thing because just a few months before that, there was a report in the news where a lady in Florida had lost all of her limbs with it. And I read so many stories of this poor woman and I just could not believe it.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
And then here I am in pre-op ready to go in because I have cancer.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
Yeah. When the doctor came in to talk to us about it, he was like, we are so lucky we caught it because it was only in your flesh. It did not get to your muscle yet. Thank God. The next day, the pain was still so bad. As you saw, there's black foam in there. It's called a wound back and it helps heal. I won't go into detail.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
It's a very cool machine, but it's really gross if you see the whole contraption working. I couldn't handle the wound back because my arm was still really sore.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
I was in the hospital for 10 days because of my symptoms and my fever. They were afraid that I was still going to either, one, lose my arm, or two, it was going to go to my heart because it was on my left side. Oh. I laugh now, but my boyfriend at the time looks at me and he's like, I can't come to the hospital room every day and see you. I have jobs lined up and then I have a workout routine.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
I was in the hospital for 10 days and then I had that wound back in for another three months. Wow. And it just slowly closes up and it has to heal from the inside out. Because if you have an infection, you can't just do stitches to cover it back up.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
Yeah, the poor nurse, because I'm sure she didn't mean to do this. But in my heart, I feel like she got the Tdap ready, looked at the paperwork and thought, oh, I got to go get that other vaccine and then put the Tdap syringe on the tray and then went to go get the other syringe with the vaccine in it and then came back and administered it in my arms.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
When my arm got swollen, you could actually see where the needle had gone in. So it was like opening up, I guess you could say.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
So we think it just wasn't clean.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
That's my guess because they did go through and do all the tests to make sure it wasn't the actual lot of those Tdaps. Nobody else in my area had contracted this. I was the lucky one in a million. Wow.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
Well, you picked a bad boyfriend. That's the good thing about this. It just showed me who was there for me and who I really should be spending my time with. It really makes you change your perspective on life. You're very positive. I like that.

Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
We're not going to have any mid-season leaks or blowouts. So just really thoroughly looking over all of our equipment is going to be really important.
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
Equipment's ready. Let's make sure when we begin making those applications that we are thinking about the soil temperature. We really want the soil temperature to be 50 degrees and falling, so steady at that 50 degrees and then falling below that.

Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
That's going to help decrease that nitrification process, especially when we have Inserver Instinct next year with it, slowing that overall conversion rate from ammonium to nitrate.
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
Time frame wise, yes. It's going to depend on where you're at within the U.S. and where we're making these fall applications. The biggest rule of thumb is that 50 degrees and falling for the most part.

You're listening to DraftKings Network.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Cam Jordan, Matthew Berry, Will Shields, NY Jets, Warrick Dunn
Yeah, so P&G, third annual Battle of the Paddles event. Going to be playing some ping pong with some of our favorite NFL players. I'm teamed up with Kirk Cousins. We're going up against Micah Parsons, Chris Olave, Drake May, who are also teamed up with other celebrity fans. And it's going to be good. Single elimination. We play to 11, got a win by two. I'm excited.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Cam Jordan, Matthew Berry, Will Shields, NY Jets, Warrick Dunn
I'm not like an advanced ping pong player, but I feel like I'm good enough to hold my own. But I'm hoping that Kirk Cousins just puts the team on his back and we can get the win in this one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Cam Jordan, Matthew Berry, Will Shields, NY Jets, Warrick Dunn
Like, honestly, I don't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Cam Jordan, Matthew Berry, Will Shields, NY Jets, Warrick Dunn
I don't. But I am a Falcons fan. I am from Georgia. So he is one of my QBs. I have faith in him. Right. But honestly, something about Kirk strikes me as someone who's played ping pong in his day. He gives me that vibe.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Cam Jordan, Matthew Berry, Will Shields, NY Jets, Warrick Dunn
Well, I remember I interviewed Kirk, and he said, you know, my teammates always say I have the dad swag, but I think my swag has no swag. I can just see that person being an expert, you know, on the ping pong table. That's how I envision Kirk. I think he's good at probably a lot of, like, alt sports.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Cam Jordan, Matthew Berry, Will Shields, NY Jets, Warrick Dunn
I've done some light practicing. I may have stopped at a bar or two. I've learned that I have a much better backhand than I do forehand. There's something about the control, you know, when you're going that way with the backhand. I need to improve my serve just a bit. Honestly, this is my thing with P&G Battle of the Paddles, which obviously I'm super, super excited to be a part of it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Cam Jordan, Matthew Berry, Will Shields, NY Jets, Warrick Dunn
And I want to give you tips. I love this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Cam Jordan, Matthew Berry, Will Shields, NY Jets, Warrick Dunn
Mm, that is, so what's the key to a good slice?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Cam Jordan, Matthew Berry, Will Shields, NY Jets, Warrick Dunn
Okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Cam Jordan, Matthew Berry, Will Shields, NY Jets, Warrick Dunn
This is good. If you have any more tips, please, because I really want to beat Micah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Cam Jordan, Matthew Berry, Will Shields, NY Jets, Warrick Dunn
I want to beat Micah. Because all Micah is going to do is talk trash.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Cam Jordan, Matthew Berry, Will Shields, NY Jets, Warrick Dunn
I really don't know. I hope it's Kirk.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Cam Jordan, Matthew Berry, Will Shields, NY Jets, Warrick Dunn
Okay, so slice.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Cam Jordan, Matthew Berry, Will Shields, NY Jets, Warrick Dunn
Get you a sandpaper racket.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Cam Jordan, Matthew Berry, Will Shields, NY Jets, Warrick Dunn
Figure out your underspin.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Cam Jordan, Matthew Berry, Will Shields, NY Jets, Warrick Dunn
get mobile get active yes tell me what you got yes I'm with it are you are you it's very helpful and I'm not just saying that I will be so when you're watching yes streaming on complexes youtube channel right and you need to do the slice just know it was for you
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Cam Jordan, Matthew Berry, Will Shields, NY Jets, Warrick Dunn
All in on that. Now I'm like, okay, I need to get my slice over the net. That's my fear now. It's going to go all the way, but I got you. I'll be working on it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Cam Jordan, Matthew Berry, Will Shields, NY Jets, Warrick Dunn
I'm so excited. I can't wait to be in the building. I love the energy of the Super Bowl. So it's going to be great. And of course, an amazing matchup. And coincidentally enough, the first P&G Battle of the Paddles was the same matchup. It was Eagles-Chiefs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Cam Jordan, Matthew Berry, Will Shields, NY Jets, Warrick Dunn
A little deja vu, but I think that this year I'm going to win Battle of the Paddles. TBD.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Cam Jordan, Matthew Berry, Will Shields, NY Jets, Warrick Dunn
I think, and so I am not a person. It's very clear to me that so many people are like anti-Chiefs. They don't want the Chiefs to win. I don't feel that way. I think it's really great that we get to watch greatness. And if they win, I'd be happy for this to repeat and be there to watch history. So if Chiefs win, amazing, good for them. I would personally love to see the Eagles win.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Cam Jordan, Matthew Berry, Will Shields, NY Jets, Warrick Dunn
So I will be sort of, you know, with my fan hat on, be rooting for the Eagles. I just love what Saquon has been able to do this year. Happy that Jalen is back in the Super Bowl. I just like the story of it. So I think that's who I'm going to go with.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Cam Jordan, Matthew Berry, Will Shields, NY Jets, Warrick Dunn
Well, Saquon, I'm very, very close with Saquon and his family. I've known Saquon since he first got into the league. And it's funny. So every year, obviously Saquon's birthday is February 9th. So this year he's playing the Super Bowl on his birthday. But every year we always do like something really big with his family. Like three years ago, we all did Mexico.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Cam Jordan, Matthew Berry, Will Shields, NY Jets, Warrick Dunn
The other year we just rented out the spot and did a big dinner. And after week one this year, I texted and said, I just have a feeling that this is going to be the first year that we are at the Super Bowl. Why do you know? So I'm rooting for the Eagles, for sure.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Cam Jordan, Matthew Berry, Will Shields, NY Jets, Warrick Dunn
It's pretty crazy, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Cam Jordan, Matthew Berry, Will Shields, NY Jets, Warrick Dunn
I saw the vision early.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Cam Jordan, Matthew Berry, Will Shields, NY Jets, Warrick Dunn
Well, I think that at this rate, Saquon just, like, loves the story that he now has, right? Right. You know, he went to this new team and just found new life. I interviewed him for our Thursday night football game that we had with the Eagles. And he was just like, you know, I didn't know what my value was going to be. And I didn't know what people thought my worth was going to be.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Cam Jordan, Matthew Berry, Will Shields, NY Jets, Warrick Dunn
And he was like, I've learned through this that all of those are just words. Like, what one person thinks about you is different than what somebody else does.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Cam Jordan, Matthew Berry, Will Shields, NY Jets, Warrick Dunn
He's just obviously all in with Philly and loves this circumstance and loves his teammate. But, I mean, of course, winning is very fun. So I'd love it too.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Cam Jordan, Matthew Berry, Will Shields, NY Jets, Warrick Dunn
Yeah, I'm sure they have that all figured out. But I know it's a birthday. So regardless, there will be some sort of celebration of life. But I know his mind is mainly on winning that game. It's all his friends and family that care about the birthday. He's like, I have a Super Bowl to win. He's like...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Cam Jordan, Matthew Berry, Will Shields, NY Jets, Warrick Dunn
Hey, what can I say? Now you know what you can see? Me winning Battle of the Paddles. I got to manifest that.

GBF- Super Week: Cam Jordan, Matthew Berry, Will Shields, NY Jets, Warrick Dunn
Yes, P&G Battle of the Paddles. Tune in. Watch some of your favorite NFL players go against one another in a double single elimination tournament. Plans and Ping Pong will be streaming on Complex's YouTube channel Wednesday at 7 Eastern time.

The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
It's a slow burn, but so far Bill Belichick has hired two people. His son as the defensive coordinator and then Lombardi's son as the quarterback coach. And we also got Purdue's backup quarterback.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
So we got not the starter, but the guy who couldn't beat out the starter.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Start Spreadin' The News (feat. Ernie Johnson)
It's not Eric Gagne. Four points. In 1997, I helped my own cause and batted 288, winning a silver slugger.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Start Spreadin' The News (feat. Ernie Johnson)
Taylor, who was our final player? I was traded by the team that drafted me for a reliever in a deal that also brought back a pitcher who would later throw a no-hitter. I have a first guess.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Start Spreadin' The News (feat. Ernie Johnson)
That dude was raw. I spent my entire 15 year career with one team. I guess.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Start Spreadin' The News (feat. Ernie Johnson)
I regret to inform you guys, all three of those guesses are wrong. So we're moving on to three points. But that clinches the win for Jordan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Start Spreadin' The News (feat. Ernie Johnson)
Who is it? Keep going. Keep going. Three points. I am tied with Carlos Ruiz for the record of most no-hitters caught by a catcher with four. Is it Posada? Jeremy, do you have a name written down? Was he traded?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Start Spreadin' The News (feat. Ernie Johnson)
We'll go to two points. I'm tied with Jorge Posada and Yogi Berra for most postseason home runs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Start Spreadin' The News (feat. Ernie Johnson)
Today you guys are playing Who Am I? You'll get five clues. If you get it on the first clue, you get five points. The second clue, four points and so on. There's no penalty for guessing and getting it wrong because I want to encourage you guys to throw names out there per round. Love this. I never won the Cy Young despite having six top five finishes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Start Spreadin' The News (feat. Ernie Johnson)
Let's get another clue. Second clue for four points. I was the first pitcher to retire following a 20-win season since Hall of Famer Sandy Koufax in 1966. 20 wins is like, okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Start Spreadin' The News (feat. Ernie Johnson)
It's going to be four points for Jordan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Start Spreadin' The News (feat. Ernie Johnson)
All right, Taylor, who's our next player? I feel good about that. Yeah, you should. Wow. Second player for five points. I made my MLB debut in September 2005 as a defensive replacement and struck out in my only two at-bats that season.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Start Spreadin' The News (feat. Ernie Johnson)
All incorrect. We're going to the four points. Okay. All right. Thank goodness. My first name was supposed to be Hamlet because of my grandmother's love of Shakespeare, but the clerk severely messed it up. I've got it. I got it. Yeah. I got it also.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Start Spreadin' The News (feat. Ernie Johnson)
Adnan, the Mets go out, they get Juan Soto, the splash of the free agency. Their pitching was supposed to be their weakness. How do you make sense that the Mets have the best ERA in baseball right now?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Start Spreadin' The News (feat. Ernie Johnson)
who's our third uh player to guess here third player for five points i'm the only pitcher in mob history to throw no hitter against the same team in back-to-back seasons oh i think i know i'm gonna go first and i'm gonna say justin verlander uh i'm gonna go
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Start Spreadin' The News (feat. Ernie Johnson)
No. Just let them take it. We're going on to the second clue. Okay, correct. For four points, I was on the cover of MLB 2K9. Oh. MLB 2K9.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Start Spreadin' The News (feat. Ernie Johnson)
For five points, player four, in 2002, I led the MLB in saves with 55.

Also, Dan, das Ding ist, ich und Stu Gotts haben uns gechannelt und ich habe über Hoops und solche Sachen nachgedacht. Und ich erinnere mich an eine Konversation, die wir am letzten Tag hatten, als Zaz hier war. Wir haben über Coachs gesprochen, als sie früher Coachs waren und Schuhe tragen und all diese Sachen. Und ich hatte nie wirklich eine Vorstellung von den Coachs, die sie sagten.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pathetic Cowards at USC (feat. Jessica Smetana and Adnan Virk)
Ich habe nur die Namen gehört und ich habe gesagt, Gene Hsu. Ich weiß nicht, wer das ist. Aber dann habe ich es gesehen und dann habe ich die Vision gesehen, Dan. Ich habe die Schuhe, die weiße Haare verstanden. Ich verstehe es. Und ich habe einfach ein paar Namen von Leuten geschrieben, die ich mag, wie sie aussehen. Aber wer ist derjenige, den du aufhörst?

Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
And they have all their focus on destroying the NCAA that they have no idea that their head coach is out interviewing for other jobs as they speak. As they were taking down the NCAA, Darian DeVries is at Iowa, is at Indiana, having these conversations. Unfortunately, he picked wrong, chose the wrong choice, and decides to sign with Indiana and leaves.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
So West Virginia now has waged war with the NCAA. They're coachless. They're not in the NCAA tournament. They're not in the NIT. They declined the invite. So now... Things are bad. And just like a little cherry on top, the team that they focused on, that they were like, we're better than, Carolina.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Carolina in the first four beats the literal crap out of San Diego State to the point where I had to turn it off because it felt excessive. I said, I don't want to watch this. Not safe for young viewers. It was such a beatdown.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
I think it's Louisville.

Hey, Taylor. Welcome to God Bless March Madness. Oh, it's so exciting. It's presented by Priceline. Dreaming about that trip? Book it and go to your happy price with Priceline.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
I don't know if there's ever been a tournament release where so many coaches have been upset about one seeds, which I know it's only two out of the four, but that's a high number that it's happened twice. Usually people are pretty pleased to be a one seed. So it started with UCLA getting the number one overall seed. They only have... what, two losses on the year to USC both times.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
And then South Carolina got the second overall seed. So Dawn Saley was super, super upset, saying that South Carolina deserved the number one overall seed. I test she's absolutely right, correct. What South Carolina did after that UConn loss, which was awful, it was a terrible loss. I haven't seen South Carolina lose like that in a very long time. They've completely turned it around.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
They are playing like the best team in the country. And then you saw that in the SEC championship, where... Texas didn't stand a chance. It was all South Carolina the entire time. So Dawn Staley comes out and she's like, we should be the number one overall seed. This is messed up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
And then she kind of pulled a little bit what Alabama did when they were left out of the playoff and was like, we're not going to schedule tough teams anymore if we're not going to be rewarded for that. She was like, okay. And I do agree that South Carolina is the best team in this field. They probably should have been the number one overall seed. However, UCLA was number one overall seed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
UCLA has a head-to-head win over South Carolina. And when they have a head-to-head win over a team, you're like, girl... I think you're right, but they do have a head-to-head win over you, and it's hard to argue with that. And so I do think it's totally valid. I think they're the best team in the tournament.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
I think they're going to win the whole thing this year, especially because I think that Dawn Staley definitely believes her team is the best overall team in this field. I think she's doing a little bit of the Kirby Smart thing, you know? Everybody's doubting you. They didn't even think you were the best team in the country. No one believes in you, South Carolina women's basketball.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
And so now that there's somewhat of a chip on the shoulder for South Carolina, I think it's pretty much over for everybody else. At the same time, USC, the other one, the one in California, they were like, we don't like our number one seed. I think this one's a little bit more valid, especially because...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
USC leads the series against UCLA 2-1, and the first two times they played, USC was really dominant over UCLA in a way that's made me kind of nervous about UCLA's tournament chances. And so USC got the fourth... overall highest seed, which just doesn't really sit right when they have those head-to-head wins over UCLA.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
I understand that UCLA beat them at the Big Ten Championship game, but that game was dominated by USC for a large chunk of it. Like, UCLA just came back and kind of had one of those moments. And so what's really upsetting is that USC got UConn as the two seed in their region. And nobody, like, every two seed is good, but UConn is... a particularly good two seed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
As we talked about just a little bit ago, UConn beat the brakes off South Carolina. Like this is not your average two seed. And so the fans are super upset because it's like Juju Page is a matchup you get in the final four, not the elite eight. So USC is unhappy about their seeding. The other USC is unhappy about their seeding. Texas and UCLA, pretty quiet. They seem to be pleased with everything.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Don't you have, like, work to do?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Yeah, they're not having a particularly good time. So it started Selection Sunday. I guess you could say it started in the Big 12 tournament. But Selection Sunday, West Virginia has left out in favor of Carolina, or at least that's the team they're kind of focusing on, the one that they were like, we deserve to be here more than Carolina does. So West Virginia is all levels of bad.

Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
And despite that there were probably a lot more serious problems happening in that state, the governor was like, nope. This is not allowed. You have done it. You have waged war with the state of West Virginia. And so he comes out and is like, NCAA, it's coming for you. Good luck. Hope you're ready for it. Then we're going to destroy the selection committee. All of that is happening.

Hour 1: Greg Cote Takes an Acting Class
Today, you guys are going to get a player's career path. You'll have to write down who you think the player is, and then we'll reveal if you get the player right, you get a point. 10 rounds and a hint for you guys. Every player here has made an all-star team. So I'm not just throwing, you know, bottom of the roster guys. That's great.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Takes an Acting Class
First player up, a Yankee in 1998, a Marlin from 99 to 2005, and then a Red Sox from 2006 to 2010. Wow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Takes an Acting Class
Yeah, that's... Started with a Marlin to try to help you guys out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Takes an Acting Class
Is that right? Was not Lenny Harris.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Takes an Acting Class
It's a reliever, right? It's Mike Lowe.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Takes an Acting Class
All right. Second player coming your guys' way. started with the pirates from 96 to 2004 was an a in 2005 2007 cubs 2007 brewers 2008 2009 and then a royal in 2010. all right you know what i have a guess i just thought of something like i have no idea but whatever
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Takes an Acting Class
Player three coming your way was an Astro from 95 to 2003, was a Philly in 0405, was a Met from 2006-2009, Red Sox in 2009, and then Brave in 2010. I don't even have a guess.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Takes an Acting Class
Player four was a Minnesota twin from 97 to 2007, was an angel from 2008 to 2012, was a Tiger in 2013 and 2014, and then closed out his career going back to Minnesota in 2015. I think I have a guess, but I'm... Give me a second. Now I'm worried.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Takes an Acting Class
We're going to tie this up. Go to question number five. Player five was a Blue Jay from 1993 to 2004. Got it. I know it. Was a Marlin in 2005.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Takes an Acting Class
And then was a Met in 2006 to 2009. This one's easy, Jeremy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Takes an Acting Class
All right. Jeremy leads 2-1. Player six was a Royal from 95 to 2000, was an A in 2001, was a Red Sox in 02 to 05, was a Yankee in 06 to 09. I know it. Tiger in 2010. Ray in 2011. And with the Cleveland franchise, 2012. I got it. Hold on. I got it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Takes an Acting Class
Player seven, Jeremy with the lead, was a Blue Jay from 1999 to 2010, was an Angel from 2011 to 2012, was a Yankee from just in 2013. I know this player. I know this player.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Takes an Acting Class
It's a 4-2 lead. We're on player number 8. Player 8 was a Tampa Bay Ray from 2002 to 2009. Was a Red Sox in 2011. Wait, do I know this player? and was a Dodger 2013 to 2016. No, this guy started as a Dodger.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Takes an Acting Class
Was a Yankee in 87 to 89, was a Blue Jay in 89 to 95, was a Marlin in 96 and 97, was a Met in 98 to 2004, was a Marlin in 05, and then was a Yankee to close out his career also in 2005. That doesn't make me feel good. That doesn't help. Oh, shoot.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Takes an Acting Class
The last player was a Dodger in 97-98, was a Red in 1998, and then was a White Sox from 1999 to 2014. This is a jerk move.

Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
Welcome to the Pitch Clock. Here's the pitch. A two-part baseball segment combining a nostalgic baseball trivia game and an interview with an expert. This is the Pitch Clock. Another week, another pitch clock. Hi, everybody. We're back. It's me. It's Chris. It's Taylor, as always. We'll get to our MLB expert coming up in just a moment. But Taylor, what is our trivia game for today?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
On April 11th, Jose Quintana of the Brewers made history when he beat the Diamondbacks and became the 24th pitcher in MLB history to get a win versus all 30 MLB teams. In front of you guys, you have to guess the other 23 pitchers on that list. And to help you guys out, I gave you the initials of the pitcher, the team they won the game for, and the year they did it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
And it's three strikes and you're out format. Okay. We'll have Chris go first.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
See, now, all right, and that's correct. Al Leiter is correct. Yeah, all right. Damn. All right, I'll just go to the next one. 2004 Yankees, Kevin Brown. Never earned his pinstripes, it is Kevin Brown.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
Fourth guess overall. I'm going to go ahead and skip over to 2008. The Phillies, JM. That's Jamie Moyer. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
It is Jamie Moyer, who pitched until he was 49. Oh, my God.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
All right. I'm going to go ahead. I'm going to try to just stay in chronological order where I can, but I'm going to skip. Ooh, I'm going to go to 2010 San Francisco. I thought you were staying in order. Well, I skipped WW. I skipped RJ. I'm just where I can, you know, that shows you what I don't know. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
Oh, but I'm afraid to say. My plan backfired. I'll get a strike if I need to. 2016 Chicago Cubs, JL. Is that John Lackey?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
It is John Lackey. Chris's plan immediately backfired.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
I made the same mistake. I think it is so funny that you made the decision to say, let me do the safe one. Got it wrong.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
You could say you were lacking the knowledge that he was a cub. Now our 2025 MLB expert is here and I'm really excited to welcome in Ryan Bass because not only is he a fellow UCF Knight, not only is he a fellow MLB in-game reporter for the Tampa Bay Rays, but Ryan, you also have a pretty amazing connection to this show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
So I'm going to give you a second to endear yourself to the audience before we get to your analysis.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
You're the man. Thank you for all of those kind words that none of our audience wants to hear whatsoever. What they do want to hear about are Dan's Tampa Bay Rays because you are – the in-game reporter for them. And they've been one of the hotter teams in baseball as of late. They had a nice series sweep over the San Diego Padres. So do me a favor. Let's tell people about this team.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
Who's worth watching? What's worth watching? And why is the answer my favorite player in baseball right now, Chandler Simpson?

Let's talk about some sort of general team results here. When you look around Major League Baseball, you look at the standings. Who's a team that has stood out to you as a surprise thus far through about a month of Major League Baseball?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
with Javi Baez batting ninth as their everyday center fielder. So that's something, if you're not paying attention to Major League Baseball, that you just learned. Thank you for listening to the Pitch Clock. Anywho. So I have a strike? There's a strike on Chris Cody through four rounds. We have one strike on Chris Cody. And you're back up, Chris.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
It is Max Scherzer, and in that start, he had 20 strikeouts. Wow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
Wow. That's impressive. Fun fact. I'll stay in this general area of time and say that the 2015 San Francisco Giants TH, is that Tim Hudson? It is Tim Hudson.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
2021 Yankees, Garrett Cole. It is Garrett Cole up against the Astros. I'll go ahead and go one year previous or one slot previous to that. It's 2019. It's the Houston Astros with the initials ZG. That's Zach Rankin.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
Against the Royals, correct.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
Okay, I'm going to go ahead and say...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
I'm just to think out loud here. The 2023 and 2024 selections that are there, I can't understand why I don't know who they are.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
Because obviously I should know who they are. The Brave is going to come to me at some point, but the 2023 Met is bothering me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
I think I know the other one, and I'll go there first. Oh, damn it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
2010 New York Yankees JV. Is that Javier Vasquez?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
It is Charlie Morton, who is off to a dreadful start this season. The Rockies are presently on pace for 24 wins this Major League season. Ryan, what in the world is going on with the Rockies?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
I don't know how they recover from this. I hate in sports in any sense when we see guys that we know are elite at what they do start to struggle at that thing. And right now, relievers around Major League Baseball, particularly closers, are really struggling. And I want to highlight a couple of them. Emmanuel Class A, who we talked about several times last year on the Pitch Clock.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
if not for Tarek Scooble, could have been potentially the Cy Young as a Cleveland Guardian closer. And then there's Devin Williams, who was the big acquisition for the Yankees as a reliever this offseason. What's going on with these closers? Is there something there?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
Or, you know, are we going to be looking back at this episode of the Pitch Clock at the end of the season and be going, what were you worried about?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
So here we go. I think I've decided that here on the pitch clock, I want to start focusing on stardom around the game to take something from the Lonely Island podcast with Seth Meyers, where those guys are talking about what they refer to as a golden era in SNL, which was, you know, Maya Rudolph and Amy Poehler and Fred Armisen and Bill Hader and all of them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
I think we're in a golden era of stardom and Major League Baseball this week. I have two names for you. They're pretty obvious names within stardom. Paul Skeens, Aaron Judge. Pick the guy you want to, and let's roll.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
He's going to go down certainly as one of the greatest right-handed hitters of all time. And to know that we're witnessing that while on the other coast, we have maybe the greatest baseball player who's ever lived in Shohei Otani. It's a great time for it. And you can watch the Tampa Bay Rays with Ryan as their in-game reporter. Follow him on social media.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
Thank you very much for joining us on the Pitch Clock. Let's get back to our game. Oh, I realize who that one is. Okay, that works out better. I hate you. So I'm going to go ahead and go 2012 Cleveland, Derek Lowe.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
I was just no, I can't believe this. All right, man. I really want to get not Woodrow Wilson with the San Diego Padres. I feel like I would remember a WW, right? That's not what I'm not. I'm just going to go ahead and get the one that I know here. The 2023 New York Met is Justin Verlander. It is Justin Verlander.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
So that is your second strike.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
Pass. I'm going to put Jeremy's official guess as Cliff Lee with a K. All right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
It's not Daniel Holland. And that's going to be Chris Cody's third strike. Thank God. For a second.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
I pass. I pass. I can't. I don't know any of these.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
For a second, he had me worried because it is a Daniel. Dan Heron.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
Oh, . I throw 88. Damn it. Wow. Dan Heron.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
Taylor, can you tell us the other three? Not as gettable. The Ranger in 2004 was Terry Mulholland. The 2006 Padres, Woody Williams. No, that one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
And then 2015, the Milwaukee Brewer, Kyle Loesch.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
Taylor, this was a good game. And guess what? It's another victory for your boys. So mad. I'm pretty excited. Hey, another Pitch Clock next week. We'll see you then.

favorite Guns N' Roses song? Great question. I've got multiple memories wrapped around them. Is that okay? Patience was a song that me and a guy named Brandon, who is one of the most amazing musicians I've ever played with. We used to play Patience all the time. We had a little acoustic duo and we'd travel around like little coffee shops and at college and stuff we'd play.

And he was so talented. That was fun. I remember Paradise City coming and being the first. That was like my generation's Bohemian Rhapsody. It was like an eight-minute. There's 14 songs. It's just utter chaos, but it's controlled. And there's a sing-along chorus to it. It was just the perfect song for a guy growing up trying to learn what rock and roll was and wanted to have his own band.

Favorite Metallica song? My gosh, that's fantastic. Going all the way back, there's a song off their Kill Em All record called Whiplash that I remember being the fastest song I remember thinking I didn't know how human beings could play a song that fast and it being electrified.

I remember being so upset with that song. I wasn't allowed to listen to the record. Like, oh, you guys sold out. Because when they played One, it was about like a war veteran.

We'll just jump right in. We'll talk about trauma.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Ask Me Anything #7: John Answers Your Questions
relationship advice that people get wrong, that they can... Something around they can do something to change their romantic partner. That there's some kind of behavior, some kind of something that I can do to make you do something different. We just don't have that kind of control like we wish we did.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Ask Me Anything #7: John Answers Your Questions
I guess as simply as I could put it is trauma is your body reenacting something in the present that happened to you in the past. And... you can detect it when your body begins to try to protect you from something. That's probably the easiest way I could say that.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Ask Me Anything #7: John Answers Your Questions
Whether it's a hard conversation, whether it's fear, whether it's somebody, you feel somebody coming up behind you, it's just your body trying to take care of you in some shape, form, or fashion. You know what? That's not a good answer. Here's a better answer.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Ask Me Anything #7: John Answers Your Questions
Trauma is when you have a memory of an event, a thing, a person, a situation, and your body goes into fight or flight in the present right now. It jumps to protect you right now. Other things are just actually scary, right? Walking in a dark alley doesn't mean you have trauma.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Ask Me Anything #7: John Answers Your Questions
It just means you're in a dark alley and someone might hatchet murder you as they would in one of your podcasts or in Nate Dogg's dreams. Wild dreams there. But, yeah, trauma is when you have a memory of a person, a place, or thing, an event, or situation, and your body gets flooded. It just tries to protect you. And heart rate, numbing devices, sweaty, like there's any number of things.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Ask Me Anything #7: John Answers Your Questions
I mean, my honest answer is find somebody you can read it to. Go straight through that fear. Like write it down and sit down with somebody and say, I've got to tell you something bananas.

I remember someone who I love dearly, not my wife, someone I love dearly was really struggling with some intrusive thoughts postpartum and had just convinced herself that if somebody knew the thoughts she was having, these images, that they're going to take her kid.

I just remember her physiology changing in front of me because she'd been holding it so tight. And I said, you need to go see somebody right away, which she did. But I think there was that initial, I'm not going to take your kid. You're an extraordinary mom. You love your kid. What's going on in your head and in your heart?

That's interesting because I've always known about... the world-shifting power of teenage male American Western arrogance. When they would line men up. So like for all human history, they'd line up, you know, warriors and say, 99 out of 100 of you are not coming home. And there was a Zen about it.

about X, Y, and Z, this person I dated or that person I dated or who I was dating during this period. And she said something that was really instructive.

And in my head, I'm thinking, we've been together over a quarter century. And then later on, maybe three, four weeks, a month later, I don't remember. But I said, hey, it feels like there's parts of me that you can't love or that you have to pretend don't exist. And I said, that's weird to me. It's not weird that you don't want to hear the intimate details of my old girlfriends.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Ask Me Anything #7: John Answers Your Questions
That I totally understand. But it is weird to me that there's parts of me, there's closet doors you can't open. And she smiled. She goes, you got me on that. I think you're right on that. And so then out of the blue, maybe six months later, she was like, all right, who are you dating from here to here? And it ended up being a hilarious, funny, like, no way. Like, it was a fun conversation.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Ask Me Anything #7: John Answers Your Questions
But I think we like to pretend that everyone's past doesn't exist up until the moment we're with them. And their history begins the day we say hi, right? And I don't think that's healthy.

It's still a good, am I the problem?
The Dr. John Delony Show
Is It Time for Me to Give Up on My Marriage?
All right. Well, this one is, my husband and I have been married for 14 years. His family never includes me in any announcements, engagements, pregnancies, births, et cetera. They only tell my husband. He asked them to include me and I've expressed desires for that to happen, but they still don't.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Is It Time for Me to Give Up on My Marriage?
Not only that, when I tell them our big news, pregnancy after multiple miscarriages, they don't respond. When we're together in person, things are fine, but we all live in different states and rarely see each other.

Credit Is a Crutch—It’s Time to Walk Without It
Hi, guys. So I got myself into quite a mess. I'm $113,000 in debt, and I'm getting married in one month and having a baby daughter in two months. We're trying to figure out how to get out of this.
The Ramsey Show
Credit Is a Crutch—It’s Time to Walk Without It
So 18K in federal student loans, 57K in private loans, and then 38K across three credit cards.

So I have an engineering job, and I make 82K a year from the engineering job.

Does she have any debt? No, she's got $40,000 in cash.
The Ramsey Show
Credit Is a Crutch—It’s Time to Walk Without It
okay with using her money to pay off some of my debt but i don't know exactly how to approach that conversation yet because i feel kind of bad because it's her money sure she made before she even met me and there is one more thing to add to the equation i do have an online business i started six months ago and last month i made 40k um so that's very good but that's obviously very is that part of the 82 000 or is that additional
The Ramsey Show
Credit Is a Crutch—It’s Time to Walk Without It
That's additional, but it's variable. Where is that money right now? I put everything into debt, so every single ounce of profit I'm using to pay off my debt.
The Ramsey Show
Credit Is a Crutch—It’s Time to Walk Without It
I profited like $30,000, so I paid off $30,000. Okay, gotcha.
The Ramsey Show
Credit Is a Crutch—It’s Time to Walk Without It
Well, this business is six months old and in total over the past six months I've made 82 K and then obviously half of that was last month. So it's, yeah, it's uncertain.
The Ramsey Show
Credit Is a Crutch—It’s Time to Walk Without It
Yeah. And I guess one last one last bombshell. I have a leased car, but she has a paid off car. So I'm assuming I should get out of that lease and either stick to one car until we're debt free or just buy something in cash.
The Ramsey Show
Credit Is a Crutch—It’s Time to Walk Without It
Yes, we have. We've had that conversation. When I said she's open to it, I just haven't. She knows how much I'm in debt. She knows how much I make. She's going to stay home. We have that all laid out. We just haven't decided for sure that $40,000 is going to all get wiped out and go right to my credit card debt.

one too there he is hey taylor i was messing up i'm pushing the wrong buttons like i've never done this before you're fine hey man what's up how you guys um i got a question um we are in baby step two we paid off about thirty thousand dollars in credit cards in about the last 12 to 14 months um but we uh we separated about uh eight weeks ago why um I think it was a breakdown of communication.
The Ramsey Show
Slow and Steady Wins the Race Every Time
Usually is. Why? I'm sorry? Usually is. Why did you separate? I think it's just communication. She realized she wasn't happy with some things and wants some time apart to figure some stuff out. We are in agreement with finances. We want to continue paying down everything. We're not hiding money from each other.
The Ramsey Show
Slow and Steady Wins the Race Every Time
Um, my question is we're both actually, I'm facing a pretty serious health issue right now. And she is too. Um, right now, should we continue down paying everything off or should we just be stockpiling cash in case, you know, certain things happen with some diagnoses?
The Ramsey Show
Slow and Steady Wins the Race Every Time
We've agreed to not make any major decisions for four to six months.
The Ramsey Show

The Ramsey Show
Slow and Steady Wins the Race Every Time
Honestly, we're trying to work that out through therapy. Okay. Right now we're seeing a therapist separately, hopefully eventually two come together. Right now I think she's just in a place where she wants to find out what she wants in life.
The Ramsey Show
Slow and Steady Wins the Race Every Time
um like i said the marriage wasn't perfect but there was no abuse there was no infidelity uh nothing like that um i i can't really give you a straight answer about exactly what happened but i can definitely say there's no abuse or infidelity or well no no marriage is perfect but you try to figure out what you want in life before you say i do you don't say i do and then get a couple years in and then be like well you know i don't really know what i want
The Ramsey Show
Slow and Steady Wins the Race Every Time
Um, but we've been married and we've been married almost 20 years. So I don't know if this is just, and it's, it was always, we've always had a very happy marriage. So I'm just not sure what, um, obviously I want to stay married. I want to work this out. That's my desire.
The Ramsey Show
Slow and Steady Wins the Race Every Time
Um, I just, uh, I think she's just in a different place right now, but with both of us facing health issues that kind of throws a wrench in, cause I'm actually facing a cancer diagnosis right now, possibly.

Delayed Gratification Is a Key Ingredient to Building Wealth
So my question is, should I go back to school and pursue my nurse practitioner license?
The Ramsey Show
Delayed Gratification Is a Key Ingredient to Building Wealth
So I'm currently working as a nurse. I'm newly married, and I make about $75K before taxes. My husband makes about $100K before taxes. And it's something that I've always considered doing. And I just, we don't have any kids yet. So I kind of feel like maybe it's now or never.
The Ramsey Show
Delayed Gratification Is a Key Ingredient to Building Wealth
But my biggest concern is I've watched several of my friends go back to school and then they have had babies or kids in life come up and they have decided to be a stay-at-home mom. And so I'm a little bit nervous to make that decision, that financial decision to go back to school again. before having kids.
The Ramsey Show
Delayed Gratification Is a Key Ingredient to Building Wealth
And then I don't want to regret when I have kids still having to work because of that degree.
The Ramsey Show
Delayed Gratification Is a Key Ingredient to Building Wealth
Right. Yeah. That would be the plan. We actually already have the cash set aside.
The Ramsey Show
Delayed Gratification Is a Key Ingredient to Building Wealth
Yeah, I think it's just sacrifice over the next two years. I mean, if I didn't go back to school, we would start our family a little bit sooner, I think probably within the year. And going back to school means pushing that off for two years. And so I think just kind of struggling with that and if that's right.
The Ramsey Show
Delayed Gratification Is a Key Ingredient to Building Wealth
Right. And I mean, I know kids are, I mean, we're only 28. And so starting a family at 30 isn't crazy. So it's just kind of trying to decide if, you know, it makes more sense to go and increase my income before we have kids rather than having them and then trying to, you know, suffer through school and daycare and everything else.

The Ramsey Show
The Key to Financial Success: Slow and Steady
And so a combo marriage. And we both brought debt to the table. And then we fought a lot. It was many, many arguments, many tears, many slammed doors in the house. And then... It was in the summer of 2021. I started listening to Ramsey. And after about two months, I went home. And one night I was excited. And I told Brian, I said, hey, we need to do this.
The Ramsey Show
The Key to Financial Success: Slow and Steady
You need to start listening to these shows. And he looked at me. He goes, I'm not going to do MLM. I said, it's not multi.
The Ramsey Show
The Key to Financial Success: Slow and Steady
I said, no, this is you buckling down and paying off your debt. And so I wasn't sure how to approach this because money was a huge argument for us. And we were both embarrassed. We were both frustrated. And so we didn't know how to communicate. So I reached out to Andy Thiel, who was from our financial advisor, and I asked him to come to the house one day. And so he came over and he sat down and
The Ramsey Show
The Key to Financial Success: Slow and Steady
We were talking numbers. So Brian said, no, I'm not going to sit here and talk. And so I sat there with Andy and I slid a piece of paper across the table and I said, well, here's our debt. Here's our income. Here's our age. Where will we be at retirement? And he kind of looked at me dumbfounded when he looked at the number and he didn't say anything. He got up and left.
The Ramsey Show
The Key to Financial Success: Slow and Steady
And about a week and a half later, he called back and he says.

I have some charts and graphs and I have some numbers I said can I get you and your husband to sit down so he came back to the house and again I said Brian would you come sit down and Brian's like you know but he did he came over he stood next to me wouldn't sit and then when Andy brought out the charts and graphs he goes I don't he goes when I left your house he goes it was very dismal he goes I was nervous for you guys because of where you're at with your age and what your debt was and
The Ramsey Show
The Key to Financial Success: Slow and Steady
And he didn't see how we were going to get out of this. And he goes, I don't know what your plan is. He goes, but what you have shown me. And he slid the charts of grass over. He goes, you guys will be self-made millionaires at retirement. And right now, Brian is 55, and I am 50. No, he's 57, and I'm 50. 55 sounds better. I'm 54. I'm nervous. I'm flubbing up here.
The Ramsey Show
The Key to Financial Success: Slow and Steady
Well, we are completely debt-free. We're on Baby Steps 3. Except the house. Except the house. That's true.
The Ramsey Show
The Key to Financial Success: Slow and Steady
Well, I made up a graph, and it's one of those little thermometers, and I put it on the wall right outside of our bedroom door, so we were forced to walk past it every day to see what our actual debt value was, and then we filled it in, colored it in as we went and paid off the debt. But that first month when I sat down, because it's a hard thing to do with that EveryDollar app.
The Ramsey Show
The Key to Financial Success: Slow and Steady
It took me the three months to really get it figured out. It's a stumbling project, but... And that first month, I looked at him, and I said, we spend way too much eating out. And so we did a 30-day challenge, and that was a hard one.
The Ramsey Show

But when we got done, he was like, well, I want to be able to have some enjoyment. And I said, well, let's just do two dates a month where we have one with the family and then just one with us. And we were going to put that in the budget, which I did, but we didn't use it because we realized how much money it was costing to eat out. So we just kind of quit everything altogether and

So they range from 33 down to 15. Wow. Wow. So we have Brianna, Ian, Tyler, Brandon, Aaron, Claire, and Tyler. And yes, we have two Tylers, one from each of us. Our kids are our motivator, too, because we realize, looking back, both of us have lived paycheck to paycheck, and it's a hard struggle, and we don't want our kids to follow in that path.

My mom was probably my biggest one, and then we were cheerleaders for each other, but my mom, she checked in quite often, and she would send text messages, and I'd send her pictures of the graph, and she was the one that was probably the biggest one for me. That's awesome.

You know, if all of a sudden some drama came up and like my parents wanted to like work it out with me and I could understand if they were like, can we just like talk to you and not the person we feel has like created a divide between our relationship.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
They had one.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
No.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
I mean, her family seems a bit high. I mean, their wedding was a bit dramatic. Her dad, a billionaire, got into it with some wedding vendors, which I guess now that I've tried planning. You also. I do. I actually know I stand corrected.

The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Well, good news. Let's get a round of applause for Clayton Eckhart. The man finally got some justice.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
For those of you who have been living under a rock and not following his story, the bachelor with the worst luck in the world, his luck has finally seemed to change a little bit after going through years of speculation is like, is he the father from a person who turns out she was like a real life gone girl person who had like a history of allegedly duping men into thinking, uh,
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
she was with their child regardless if they were actually had intercourse or not and she went public with this made his life a living hell she has this person has now been charged uh with like several counts we don't need to know their names here but can we can we go through the list of accounts that this person has been charged with yes the fact that this has not made mainstream media
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
No, it's actually kind of fucked. When we had Clayton on the show and he like went through the whole story, the mainstream media covered when the accusations against Clayton. And then when we had that episode with him and he like went through it, there wasn't a single mainstream media outlet that covered that episode.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
But not Clayton clearing his name. They didn't want to cover that.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Just out of curiosity, Leah, what mainstream coverage has covered this story as of today? Like when Clayton announced that this person has been charged, has anyone covered it?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
I don't know. It's honestly, it's like, I'm not a big conspiracy theorist, but that is conspiratorial. No one wants to like clear his name.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Fucking crazy. Anyway, it's very happy for Clayton.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
I don't I mean I don't know this person's been charged with several counts yeah he did say in his Instagram video like it's finally over and I was like baby it's just about to begin yeah well I think for him he's just like again like it's obviously very personal for him I think he's had a hard time getting like national pickup to his frustration anything that's
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
come out against him, national media picks it up. Mainstream media picks it up. It's like, oh, anyone gonna talk shit on Clayton? Let's pick it up. Anyone wants to clear Clayton's name, they're all like crickets. Yeah, everybody wants a villain. I think he just feels very vindicated that now that law enforcement has said, no, there's a real potential crime going on here. It's just like another...
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Another bit of evidence to say, no, for anyone who didn't believe me before, like this person's being charged with fraud. It's really quite disturbing that no one wants it. People, Us Weekly, E! News do better. Page Six, TMZ, whenever you're whenever you want to just, you know, cover it. We're ready.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
That's because Garcelle won't talk to her.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
No, it seems like she is potentially the problem. But I think it's because Garcelle has set a boundary of, I thought you were my friend. You didn't show up for me. I'm tired of this behavior. And I am no longer interested in keeping this friendship alive. And Sutton seems to be very much Team Kyle these days.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
I mean, when that came out, I mean, like the rumors in Bravo world and all the bloggers, it's I don't even know why we even spend time.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
it's exhausting yeah you know considering all the like the ridiculous rumors speaking of which like the one that like meredith was allegedly fired from the real housewives of salt lake city which she has put out that she never was and she won't be which is a pretty easy rumor to debunk because like i'm assuming she's going to be on the season and then we'll know there won't be like any like oh she's fired there won't be any like kendra moore you know like oh not on the show anymore
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Well, I've watched every single one of her singing videos, so if she's singing, I would think that the algorithm would say, excuse me, your favorite thing on the internet is happening again.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
I wanted Jennifer Tilly and Kathy Hilton just to like, just move on over to Denise Richards' show because that's like a comedy. It's lighter. You know, Kathy and Jennifer, like, I mean, they're like good comedic relief, but they're not really, Jennifer doesn't give any drama. She's like afraid of drama. She's like, I'm too rich to bother, which I totally respect.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
But she seems a bit miscast.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Same. Well, finally, Love Island USA has announced the premiere of season seven. Premieres June 3rd on Peacock. Super excited about that. Also announcing their premiere, Bachelor in Paradise returns July 7th. That's ballsy of Bachelor in Paradise because, I mean, again, this is an alleged reboot. We now have Hannah Brown part of the hosting group. They have a new location, a new showrunner.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Who knows? Maybe we'll get a whole new show. But they I mean, listen, it's a very similar format to Love Island in terms of like love competition show with an ensemble cast of characters. But just like following the debauchery of Love Island just makes historically Bachelor in Paradise seem really boring. It truly does. So they are going to premiere their new reboot show five weeks in.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
to Love Island, and I gotta say, they better show up. The risk is you spent five weeks watching the Premier League, NBA, NFL, whatever your favorite sport is, and then you tune in to high school sports.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
These characters better show up. Tough act to follow, as they say, but we will be following it nonetheless, either enjoying it or saying do better. So... We'll see. All right. The Valley. Well, The Valley opens up with Jesse showing appreciation for his daughter paying attention to fashion because he has these fashion slippers while wearing flip-flops the entire episode.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Well, for any listeners that have been with us since the beginning, we'll remember Sugar Lynn. I did have to fire her from the, just kidding.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
How can you claim to have a fashion-forward mindset while wearing flip-flops?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Do we have a picture of that shot? Can we bring it up, please? For the people who haven't watched it, I just like... I mean, keep in mind, this is a man who seems to highly curate every moment. Yeah. Jesse is the most... I want to be careful how I say this. The most self-aware person in the sense that he knows... You can tell he knows he's being filmed.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
With other reality TV stars, they seem like they're just like, we are watching them, but they don't know that we're watching them. Mm-hmm. And Jesse always gives, I know you're watching me.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
And so it's so shocking that he chose to wear the XXXL underwear that clearly didn't fit him on camera.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
You got deported. I did.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
It's true.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Maybe he's a genius because I will say he's the person I talk about the most on this show. He's the person I enjoy on my TV. Oh my gosh.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Not really. That's the thing. Because, like, when you put on, you know, I'm not, I'm way over my skinny era jean. I don't know if Jessie is, but if you wear underwear, like, in the skinny jean era, you had to have pretty, like, tight underwear because otherwise you're getting a bunch of bunching, you know, a lot of... Uh-huh.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Not fun, but like that underwear is going to bunch regardless of how baggy his pants are. So really quite uncomfortable.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Also, like how did he he ran into the house in those flip flops, by the way. And the next thing you know, he's naked.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Like his grandma made them for him. It's like in a family heirloom.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
What is going on?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
You know, he's in great shape. He takes care of the bod.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
He's like, oh, I'm being filmed. I'm just going to go unzip the top.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Is this account called Blocked by Jax? For those of you asking, it's not me because I am also blocked by Jax.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
But every time I paused it, when you pause it, the lower third box comes up and it was covering the text.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
You lucky bastard.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Is there a producer hanging out with Jax in this mental health facility? Because like, how is it possible that they're on this trip filming? And then wouldn't you know it right when they're in the middle of like.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
I will say that moment where Jax talked about needing to get better, and it was sad. And there was a moment where I felt just the tiniest amount of empathy for him. But it's heartbreaking because you just know he doesn't mean it. I know.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
What was that insane thing that Janet said when she talked with Zach? I'm definitely the bigger person.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
I don't know if that was that the exact quote. That's an insane thing to say.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
No, but...
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
I feel like she... Well, she's one of the few...
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
normal ones yeah you know why because she deals with three babies at once she can handle all of them drunk yeah it's the same thing i've never seen someone sit down on a couch as graceful as she did she is like a pageant star did you notice that she like sat down and kind of like opened up her dress oh very flawlessly like a flower it was right it was quite nice
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
I don't know if she said I'm the bigger... But she definitely gave her credit for what she thought was being the bigger person. And that's such a weird thing to acknowledge yourself. If you have to point out that you're being the bigger person, are you though?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
For showing up. Simply just showing up.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
I will say, I don't know if it's a Bravo thing, but the way, I mean, every Bravo show that has an ensemble cast of men, they look out for each other way more than they look out for any of their women friends or spouses. They can never be next. I just like I want to be on one of these shows so bad just to be like you guys are fucking losers.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Like the way you just like you're just fucking like the bro code into your 40s is kind of fucking lame. It's just so pathetic. It's just like have a fucking like backbone. And, like, you don't need to be one of the guys into your 30s, especially when they're, like, wearing underwear like that.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Then that's a terrible therapist. I'm sorry. Shouldn't be working at a mental facility. He's not that sophisticated. And you can see right through his bullshit.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Yes, of course.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Also, like, just keeping in mind, this is a mental health facility that is allowing Jax Taylor to still, like, make content for a reality TV show. Like, how serious can it be?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
I have a hard time believing that a mental health facility worth its salt would allow any of its patients to continue to film content for a toxic reality TV show.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Yes, of course. She is now officially our babysitter.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
And this is her boyfriend?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
yeah genuinely no that's why i said i supported janet when she's looking at him going i'd cheat on you too because you fucking suck yeah it's just like he just he just thinks that he's gonna garner it as sympathy by like yeah like you were a bad husband and not condoning that type of behavior but it's just no one feels sorry for you because you you come across like an emotionally abusive spouse like i don't know if he is you know but that's
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
the character he seems to be playing on a reality TV show, one where he seems incredibly self-aware that he's being filmed.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
And I will say, Jesse is the cast member on the value that I'm probably most interested in getting on the couch. And Jesse, if you are listening, if your team is listening, I just want you to know, if you are willing to come on and have a conversation with us, we will. We'll wipe the slate clean. We will assume and we'll go into that interview open to the possibility that
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
that you've had the worst edit in reality TV history, that you are a victim of the edit. And I want to clean the slate and start over knowing that I've never met you in person. And then I want to get to know you and judge from that moment forward.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
And that's my promise to you, Jesse, is I just want to get to know the real you outside of reality TV and see why you come across the way you do on this show.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
I know. I just want to make that very clear with him.

The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
What was different about Zoom calls versus like talking like we're talking right now?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Did you like that experience better or did you find it more challenging to talk with people?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Do you enjoy doing this together with David? Do you feel like you guys are helping each other out when you guys are talking and doing these interviews?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
What's your favorite thing about how you guys help each other out?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
That's true. Emily Baker did make me aware of it long ago when I was like, we were talking about her coming back and she was just deep into Karen Reed. And then Natalie told me about it. And I was like, this is Karen Reed. And then she's like, I think she's innocent. And I'm like, what? And then she told me about it. Once I heard about the Google of how long does it take a body to die in the cold?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
And when you say everyday game, that means there's something you just like to play every day?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
And what does that do for you, David? How does that help you?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Yeah, how does it make you feel when you get to play that game?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
We just had our first wedding anniversary. You did?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
April 27th, 2024.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Yeah. You know, it's our first anniversary. So we weren't like sure what we should do or how to celebrate it. You know, it's like we were like, do we want to do something extravagant and big, like go to the 30th anniversary of the Lion King? Yes. Or did we want to just like do something relaxing and normal and hang out with our daughter?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Like, you know, it's like, did you which anniversary was more fun for you going to the Cheesecake Factory or the 30th anniversary of the Lion King?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
I'd say both.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
I was like, and then I heard Boston police force. And after watching the departed, I was like, these are all just crooked, crooked fucks. But there's so much like, yeah, there's so much reasonable doubt and there's so much shadiness. What did you talk about yesterday? The SIM card cracking?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated

The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Do you remember that doctor? No.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
It's sometimes called calamari.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
So you're a pretty adventurous eater. I do eat some animals. Is there anything you won't try?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Abby, I'm curious, and David too, what advantages do you feel like you have as a neurodivergent person that neurotypical people might not have? Do you think in ways that you have things like talents or skills that you're grateful for that a neurotypical person doesn't have?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Is that to you or is that for anyone else? Is that like, is that how you interpret it?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Okay.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Yeah.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Yes.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
And tell me about your talents, Abby.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
And how do you use that skill in life?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
What do you put in David's bucket that's bad?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Are there things that you, what do you worry about?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Do you spend a lot of time thinking about that?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
And then that helped you communicate better.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Is that why you're such a fan of Disney?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Does Disney help you relate to neurotypical people better?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
How do I choose to go on to next? I don't know. Who do you think wears the pants in the relationship? Who's more in charge?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Would you agree with that, David? Yes. I think so. That's a smart answer.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Yeah. Why does that make you feel good, Abby? What part of it feels good?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Do you feel like now as an adult woman, do you feel like your dreams have come true?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
What dreams do you have that haven't come true yet?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
You don't even have to go to outer space. You just, actually, you just go on a plane. I bet we can make this happen for you. Am I really going to go to space?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
So what this is, Abby, if I can explain.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
No. You float, though. So it's like a trick, almost, in a way.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
I have not. No.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
But second best, would you want to be able to float for a few seconds?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
I don't even know if she did float, but she did go to space.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
There's this plane, it's called Zero Gravity, and it goes up and down and up and down. And I believe when it goes down, it allows people on the plane to float like they're in space. I actually have a picture of it, but I'm kissing another girl and my wife would get really mad at me if I showed it to you.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Maybe we can get you guys to float. Like, feel, like, feel.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Abby, how does it feel to overcome a fear?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Why do you say a blessing in disguise?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
What's your favorite? Yeah.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
And then what happened?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
What's your favorite swim stroke? Do you like the freestyle or do you swim on your back?
The Viall Files

Okay.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
What is the thing about you that you were afraid to tell people about yourself or show people about yourself that you've got more confident now?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Why was that?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Can you sing it?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Are there things that you notice neurotypical people do that you find to be very silly and you don't understand?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
You don't know. Okay.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
What are you doing there, Abby?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Do you like to fidget? I fidget all the time. I'm fidgeting. I love to fidget.

Yeah, I have to squeeze it. He has to squeeze it.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
It keeps me calm.

Christine, a question for you. You know, we live in a time right now where there's just been a lot more awareness about autism.

Or do you have like a different opinion about that topic?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated

The Viall Files

Okay.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
So like your mom said, that's more like envy. But do people ever do anything that just kind of makes you mad or like that you think is stupid?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
I have brown eyes and honestly, I never liked them.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
I have brown eyes too. Our moms have blue eyes.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
That's what you would do when you're mad?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
So when you're mad... Okay, what else? What about happy? This is a snake.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
You don't like when you're flicking them away?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Oh, yeah. You know how people don't like that?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Abby, when you do this, when was the last time you did this? Do you remember why?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Is there a feeling you have a harder time understanding than others?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Okay, what did that mean to you?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Like what emotions did she have to push away?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
And then what emotions did she bring in?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Wasn't one of the people in the house also an EMT with, like, life-saving skills?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
What'd you think about that?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Do you think dirty jokes are more funny than non-dirty jokes?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Why are they funny? Because it's like, what is that feeling you're feeling when you're telling a dirty joke?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
You know, now he's going to make me say that.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated

The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated

The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated

I will say that one. Yeah, it does seem a bit suspicious, but like it was a blizzard and like maybe they were just doing the best they could. That is the least suspicious of all the suspicious things that Natalie just mentioned.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Hey, listen, it was nine. You sound like a guy like talking about his age on a dating app.
The Viall Files

It's one thing, and I got it bad as a reality TV star, but did you get any heads up as you got into the league with social media and how to deal with that type of interaction? How did you... Because you never... I hear it all the time. It's always a conversation with my peers in the reality TV space on how to deal with trolls and things like that.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
But honestly, as a sports fan, I never really hear players talk about it all that much, or I don't really hear...
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
uh teams or coaches like talking about the impact like social media which has like taken off for the past five or ten years like just how much that can fuck up a player's mindset and psyche did you deal with that and how did you deal with that if if that was the case and have you seen other players like crumble under that pressure yes to all that like it's
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Tell the audience.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. So how did you end up as the host of Battle Camp? Did you have, I mean, did you have a strong interest in reality TV as a fan and watched it and started commenting on it? How did that come to be?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
I hate it. I thought my whole life I just had this, well, it is a problem. I'm dyslexic. But I had no idea until my 30s. And I was like, Like, why can't I fucking read out loud?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
They say dyslexic people are, you know, have special skills in other areas and maybe, I don't know what those are, but you know.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Who did you enjoy on Battle Camp the most getting to know in terms of, it pulled from all different, like obviously Netflix shows, like Squid Game and like Too Hot to Handle and things like that. But who were you, not maybe most impressed by, but who did you feel like really stood out and you enjoyed getting to know?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
What's the most interesting about that is the timeline because they talk about, again, like you said before, they were looking for material and it was like a long period of time. Like let's say like an hour, two hours are looking for stuff, didn't find anything. Then they came back out, we're looking for more stuff.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
And then all of a sudden in like a 15 to 20 minute span is when they found all these items of glass and like debris from allegedly her car, which is like, wait, so like you magically found it all at once in a short period of time while you've been looking for objects?
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
I love your story about Tony because it just reminds me of why I think fans and why we love reality TV is because... you don't necessarily have to be the same type of person or even like, like want to be their friend, but reality gives you the opportunity to like see people who are unafraid to just be themselves, you know, and for better or worse.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
And I think whoever you are, we really like just human beings really respect people who are able to do that because so few of us can, like so, so many of us are chameleons and whatever room we go into and are so afraid of like being welcomed. And you see people who are just like, wow, that's really who you are, man.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
You're drawn to that type of authenticity and I think the best reality TV characters are the ones who kind of can do that, especially if they're on different shows, they show up and they're consistently weird maybe, but they're consistent.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
That's a great story.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
It's because there's so many hosts out there that really are reading prompters. You know, they're just there. And then like, I come from bachelor world and like, you know, love Jesse as a person. He's a great guy. And Chris before him, you know, enjoyed his company too. But it was like, you'd have these chats and they would give you advice. And then it was basically like, That sucks, man.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Well, good luck. Get in there. You're like, what the fuck?
The Viall Files

Yeah, she truly has like dedicated her life to her daughter. And she has a lot of fascinating insight into the autistic community. Wonderful interview. Excited for you guys to hear it. Also, we have the host of the new hit show on Netflix, Battle Camp, Taylor LeJuan, formerly of the NFL. Also very excited.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Wow. Last question before we let you go. It's a little bit of a pivot and slightly, I guess maybe a heavier question. I don't know. But hearing you talk about meeting your wife and it kind of dawned on me and you have two daughters and we have a daughter. I just love the way you talk. I mean, you seem like a really good role model to young men.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
And I feel like we're living in a time where I feel like there's just a lot of, I think like young men don't have a lot of positive male role models. Yeah.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
and as a as a father of two daughters a i wonder if you do you ever worry about like the type of men might be available for your daughters to date and two like do you ever like look think about like leaning into that space because i love this that you say and i think there's just like a need for like positive male role models in the world today and is that something that like is it of interest of yours you i i think there's something inauthentic about somebody like
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
What are we doing here? And Alan Jackson is who? Not the country music star. Is Karen Reid's lawyer. Yes, he is Karen Reid's lawyer.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
you know i was uh yeah my my time on reality tv started as like being the most hated guy on tv and honestly like i was pretty grateful relative to my peers because i was like i was like oh i have nowhere to go but up right i was starting from the bottom like different obviously than like like the stories you told but this is more like obviously like a controlled environment but yeah it's like what was that like for you when you were getting such negative feedback
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
Not when I started the show, for sure. My goal was to do anything but be that person. When I first went on, I liked the girl. I was like, oh, fuck. Because I definitely wasn't expecting that. I was just like, if I show up, I'm here, so I'm just going to embrace whatever this fucking is. And I'm going to lean in if I feel something, and I did.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
There were a couple moments throughout filming where I was like, man, everyone's just fucking yelling at me. I don't think this is a good thing. And then, yeah, when they got done filming, I got a sense. And then the producer was like, oh, no, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like shit like that. And then, yeah, pretty early as this season started airing, I was like, I'm fucked. Yeah.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
No, yeah, it was a week by week. So it was a slow, slow process.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
But I was, you know, I went back to my like regular job at the time, went right back to work. So I was like, I was pretty grateful that they let me take leave, period. So I went right back to work. It was probably kind of stupid because my head was fucking fried.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
but i was living in chicago and i was going out and hated or not online or on tv i'd walk into a bar in chicago and i was i felt like a rock star so like i was like yeah whatever it's i'm fine um it it also like yeah that also that was a good lesson for me to learn that like the internet's

He lost from the beginning. He got out? Yeah, Kevin Spacey has been cleared.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
fake it's not real it's not like the real life is outside meeting people interacting with people people can say whatever they want online and they'll treat you like a rock star in person so like it was actually like a again like it wasn't fun doing it but i i learned a lot of lessons through that experience and i think some of my peers didn't and it served me well to to honestly you know i wouldn't be doing what i'm doing today and be as resilient in the space as i've ended up being if it weren't if i got that kind of red carpet treatment off the bat so it really worked out
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
You feel a little bit. I mean, I went back a few times, but it was like, yeah, you know, and I went back for different reasons. It wasn't because of that. But yeah, I caught myself. I was lucky that I went on TV when I was, I think I was 33 when I first went on. So I was a little older. Like if I would have gone on like at 23, I'm glad I didn't.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
I, you know, you can't, like I've had conversations with some of my buddies, like we've all caught ourselves. Like when things would slow down, like walking a little slower. you know, best people because you're like, you know, at first people, you would know people would notice you and like, ah, and then like, you know, less people notice you.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
And then you're like, you've caught yourself changing the speed at which you walk because you want to make sure they get a chance to see you. So they notice you and you're like, what the fuck am I doing? You know, it's like those little games. But thankfully I was able to catch myself pretty early because her mom, Beautiful woman. She's in her early 60s.

I wanted to go on that show. I was like, ooh.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
But I was saying, like, just like, I'm like, if you go on, I'm going to make you get a therapist. Because like, I was telling my mother-in-law, like, it just, it fucks with your brain chemistry. Like, it's just not a normal thing to have the world, especially with the internet being what it is, to have access to like literally millions of people having an opinion about you.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
And you talked about the comments of people gassing you up and gassing you up. And I've given similar advice to people who've asked because it's like, if you're going to listen to the positive bullshit that people say about you, your subconscious brain says, if you're going to listen to those strangers, you have to listen to the strangers who are going to talk shit.
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated

It was piping hot. I mean, it was... She didn't hold back. We gave her a cold brew by the time she was done talking. It was a hot coffee. It was...
The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated

The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
I mean, we just have, like, what? How old was Brooklyn when they got married? I mean, who knows? Maybe there was stuff going on behind the scenes that we didn't know about, but we had 20 some years of like a relatively like close dynamic between Brooklyn and his parents. And all of a sudden someone shows up and then things change, you know, like what's the difference, right?

The Viall Files
E930 - Love On The Spectrum’s Abbey & David, Karen Read, Battle Camp Host, The Valley & Clayton Vindicated
I don't know. It's just, maybe David and Victoria are narcissists.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
Yeah. I was like, I knew it. And I also had to plan like a six month out breakup for it too. It was a lot of planning on that one.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
And they don't live together or anything. He hasn't lived with her for like two years. But they do have, but they're not divorced. And he says it's for tax reasons. And then they also have like a house that they've bought together, like another house that they bought as a couple with another couple. So there's some entanglements there. He really likes his contracts with people.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
Yeah. I feel like he felt kind of confident in saying that, which was good.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
That's a good way to put it. I don't, I was, I've kind of been asking like probing questions here and there, but I just kind of like sprinkle them in because I don't want to pepper them all at once.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
So essentially I want, I should ask him what he is looking for out of dating. I think that is a good question. When he's talked about his ex, she was also kind of she's just turned 40. So she was also kind of significantly younger. And sometimes it sounds like she has some similarities.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
So part of me also wonders why, you know, because before they ever even get to divorce or her being with someone else, there were other deeper core issues. And so I don't know whether to probe too much into that, but that has me curious only because in some ways she just sounded similar.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
me but i haven't met her or anything so i have no gauge no true gauge how does that make you feel well okay in the sense that when he talks about the real he never ever talks bad about her and i know they kind of are still in obviously since they have same friend group and stuff they i mean i think their paths still cross and things like that um i guess i
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
If she, if she is similar to me, I would wonder what the core reason is of them not working out in the first place. Cause he's kind of, he's pretty laid back and I am too. And then I, I, I just don't, I just wish I could understand better. Uh, I wish I would, I look forward to meeting her.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
I want to know what she's like. Why? Or just ask him and get his opinion on why he thinks they ended outside of the lesbian part. Because I think there's probably a deeper issue than that.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
Because I would be curious because if there are similarities, if that would be a similar, like if we would run into the same issues, basically. But I guess that might be too probing.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
I'd say like the alarm bells are probably more along the lines in maybe like life. Well, lifestyle stuff as well as age. So it's not necessarily fully like the married stuff, though. I could that would be more of a problem. I feel like down the line if they don't get a divorce or how long that takes or what that looks like. But it's more that I don't know him that well.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
Yeah, I think that's a good take. I think I was trying to, and that is what I wanted to talk to you. So I was trying to figure out how basically the mindset to go into this with, whether I was overthinking it or basically what to look out for. And I think that's a really good point is giving it a couple more months to get a feel for it, but not wasting too much time if
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
if he's not giving any real concrete answers, he did say, like, I did, I pushed him a second time asking more clarifying questions. And he did say like, they had decided to stay married two more years. And that, so the goal was to do it within like this year or so, because it was like that first year after helped him in taxes this year helped her. And he's like, so now we can
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
Sure. Sure. I think what is nice about him is I've been able to communicate better with him about hard stuff. So what you're saying, I feel like is very doable. He's been much easier to talk to about hard stuff than my ex was.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
So, yeah, I think that helps me at least go in with eyes a little more open and kind of knowing what questions to ask, because I really also wasn't sure what questions I can even ask myself. some things.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
He owns the bar and he co-owns a bar. So he obviously kind of is in that lifestyle more or less. So I would say like sometimes just I don't know what that's going to look like with drinking and stuff.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
Yeah. And getting to the bottom of that before I'm very emotionally invested is also, I think, what you're trying to say too.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
Yeah, I think sometimes when you don't want kids, it can be hard to pinpoint those goals because a lot of people are like, oh, I want to get married and have kids and build a family. One of the reasons I want to get married is so I could get a house with someone, like a mortgage with someone. I don't really want to do that outside of a marriage.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
I would rather... go down, I'd rather go down the path where we're going to do every, you know, we're doing things together and then we buy a home together. Not for me personally, I can't afford one by myself. And I also don't want to just like date someone and get a house with them, but there's like no other thing tying us together. I think that's kind of crazy.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
So I, all I'm saying is that when I think about like, when you say goals, I'm like, well, marriage is sure a goal, but it's hard to think of like bigger goals. And sometimes I wonder even if like, is that just a petty goal? Because I don't want kids in a family, but I don't think it is. It just, that's why it's sometimes hard to pinpoint those big relationship goals with me.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
Um, I mean, he's definitely drank every time we've hung out, but he's never been drunk.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
All right. I think that's pretty fair. That gives me at least some way to move forward. That's thoughtful. I was kind of I feel like I do a lot of overthinking in my last relationship. And so some of this, I was trying to just relax and enjoy the kind of dating process with him.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
So it might just be like, you know, a drinker.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
That's good. Yeah. That makes sense. I can, I can do that. And I have like a pretty, I feel like I've been able to be upfront with him and stuff. So I think I can continue to do that and hopefully get the answers I need.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
Yeah. Thank you so much for your time. It's great to meet you.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
Not so much now. I kind of slowed my roll a lot on that, but I will say that's because it affects my body a lot naturally.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
I feel like so... Well, we're pretty much all... If we're out, we're out at an adult place. So... And every time we do that, he'll have a drink or drink, you know, but he just drinks beer. But it's just I feel like it's just steady. And so I do wonder how steady it is on a regular basis.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
I just got out of like, well, not just about last summer. I got out of a five and a half year relationship. So it's been like a long time since I really dated. And I do feel like the pace is nice in the sense that it's not like a ton, but it's been a significant amount. I've spent the night at his place a couple of times, but we haven't had sex yet.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
That's correct. I don't feel like he's being dishonest. I feel like he's pretty upfront when I ask him questions.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
It does. It does. I guess, um, in my previous, I will say my previous partner was 49 and I was like, I don't want to go quite that much older. Um, so I really didn't intend to even really date this person. It just kind of did happen. Um, surprisingly, um, I can't pick apart age.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
Well, um, I, you know, originally I didn't have any major relationship goals when I broke up with my ex, although I broke up with him last summer, I kind of hung, we had some other stuff and then we were hanging out a lot. And then I, I had originally wrote in because I was like, do I keep hanging out with him? Or do I, like, I was like, do I rekindle something with him?
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man

Or do I need to really just move on? And so I just ended up downloading hinge. Yeah. And I took a, I went on a couple of dates, but then I met this guy in the wild when I was out and he just kind of has surpassed all of like the people that I'm.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
So I just kind of wanted to focus on one thing because I can't, I don't have the bandwidth for dating a lot of people at once or even trying to keep those conversations going.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
I do not need kids. I'm not interested in kids.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
I'm not interested in them. I don't want them.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
You know, I did ask, and this was like on our very first date, and I guess I think I was feeling very loose because... I, uh, I was figuring we weren't going to date again, but I was like listening to his situation. I'd kind of written him off on the first date because of all of this kind of complication and then, but opted to give him in.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
But I had asked him, uh, if he, I was like, well, given your situation, you probably never want to get married again. Do you? He's like, no, I would definitely get married again. So I feel like that was good. It was a quick answer.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
I don't know if it's a goal. I would have to imagine. I don't know that he's thought much about goals if he's still in a marriage.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
They've been separated for about two years.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
No. Well, no, I just, it's very new. So I don't know necessarily that I am known either.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
I mean, I would give that at least three months to, I mean, three to six months. I don't think it's that crazy to wait for that kind of information because you kind of don't really even know. I think how much you truly like someone after, you know, I think it takes a couple of months anyway to even know if those would be you know, how, how we feel about that.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
My understanding is simply they, I will have to dig deeper, but currently when they separated, she decided to date women. So she is in a relationship with a woman.
The Viall Files
E909 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man
I will say like one of the reasons my five and a half year relationship didn't work out is because he never got around to asking and I just needed to move on. So I definitely don't want to wait five and a half years. I definitely
The Viall Files
E855 Ask Nick - His Ex-Engagement Ring
Yeah. I think that's the move. I think that's what I'll do.
The Viall Files
E855 Ask Nick - His Ex-Engagement Ring
Well, I appreciate. Yeah, absolutely. I appreciate the advice. And I think moving forward, I know what I'm going to do. So, okay.
The Viall Files
E855 Ask Nick - His Ex-Engagement Ring
Hi, my name is Taylor. I am 29, and I am calling in to see if I should try to save my 15-year friendship after my best friend blocked me.
The Viall Files
E855 Ask Nick - His Ex-Engagement Ring
Well, that's the tough part. I don't 100% know why, just because she didn't communicate anything to me, no text or anything. But I do have a strong assumption, which I can get into.
The Viall Files
E855 Ask Nick - His Ex-Engagement Ring
I went on a trip a few weeks ago with a group of girls that I went to school with in college and I lived with them. It's important to note that I did introduce her to one of them. And so over the years, I would say that they did develop a friendship, but obviously not as strong as I would have with either of them, but they are friends.
The Viall Files
E855 Ask Nick - His Ex-Engagement Ring
But she's not friends with the other girl that was on the trip. Obviously, They've been in the same room and they've hung out through me before, but I wouldn't classify them as friends. But anyways, I go on this trip with my college friends and I come back and I find out that I'm blocked on everything. I tried to reach out to her over social media and I was removed from all of the platforms.
The Viall Files
E855 Ask Nick - His Ex-Engagement Ring
And then I tried to text her and the text did not go through. So my only assumption is it's because she felt some type of way about me going on this trip with different set of friends and she was not there or invited.
The Viall Files
E855 Ask Nick - His Ex-Engagement Ring
I would assume. Yes. She is a friend from high school. And so that's just like just to differentiate high school. And then this is a group that I met in college and we've done these trips before and it's never been an issue.
The Viall Files
E855 Ask Nick - His Ex-Engagement Ring
Um, that's another good point. Uh, she is kind of going through a hard time right now just because, uh, she's had some recent family health scares with her parents. Uh, and then she also recently, uh, got laid off from her job.
The Viall Files
E855 Ask Nick - His Ex-Engagement Ring
So, uh, a tough time for her. And I want to be sympathetic to that as well. It's just, um, it's a hard time for me to understand the reasoning.
The Viall Files
E855 Ask Nick - His Ex-Engagement Ring
That's definitely part of the reason why I'm reaching out. I'm having a hard time figuring out if I should reach out, if I should try and do that.
The Viall Files
E855 Ask Nick - His Ex-Engagement Ring
I feel that she simply just threw away this 15-year friendship. So why would I want to put in all this effort and time to reach out and fix it if she If I know she doesn't want to talk to me and she's willing to just throw it out off of not being invited to a trip.
The Viall Files
E855 Ask Nick - His Ex-Engagement Ring
The only thing is I don't even know where to even begin and to start on contacting her. Obviously I could try and figure it out as I have like family members and her boyfriend's information, but like I'm blocked on everything that she has. So it's a matter of, Me reaching out to somebody in her life or- Do you have her address?
The Viall Files
E855 Ask Nick - His Ex-Engagement Ring
Yeah, I was just going to say, I thought about sending her a letter as well. It just seems so intense and crazy 15 years that I have to write a letter to contact her.
The Viall Files
E855 Ask Nick - His Ex-Engagement Ring
Yeah. Yeah. The trip was two weekends ago. Okay.
The Viall Files
E855 Ask Nick - His Ex-Engagement Ring
The only thing holding me back is if and when I reach out, knowing who she is, I do know that she's on the more stubborn side. And so I don't think that... the conversation would go in a positive direction just because I don't see her side really of being upset. That's not your job here.
The Viall Files
E855 Ask Nick - His Ex-Engagement Ring
Totally. Yeah. And I don't want that either. I just feel like the conversation would come up if and when she would reach out. She would try to explain to me where she was coming from. Yeah.
The Viall Files
E855 Ask Nick - His Ex-Engagement Ring
I didn't invite her. And I think it's as simple as these are the girls that I went to school with and I lived with, and I just didn't think to invite her.
The Viall Files
E855 Ask Nick - His Ex-Engagement Ring
I don't really know. I just feel I think I'd feel bad if she really did feel left out and she doesn't have a whole lot of people in her life at this as an adult. Yeah, I think I would feel bad. I just wouldn't want it to be the case for everything that I do moving forward, if that makes sense.
The Viall Files
E855 Ask Nick - His Ex-Engagement Ring
That's the bottom line. And I think I was having a hard time seeing that before. Cause when it first happened, all I felt was anger and confusion and sadness. And I think as time, moves forward and it goes on, I'm starting to see the other side. Okay. And how I should be reacting.

What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
Yeah, well.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
Oh, how are you guys doing? Good. Yeah, we're doing really well. It's been a crazy first year. Of course. Challenges, I mean, but very joyous occasions as well. Like life's just come at us full force. But the important thing is that we are stronger than ever.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
Come on, tag along. Why not? Why not? We went on a honeymoon to the Bahamas, which was amazing.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
And then we just bought a house. Yes. So, thank you.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
That's exciting. Very exciting.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
We have things to look forward to, which is great.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
Yeah. He's my best friend. Oh, God.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
I can't imagine what life was like before.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
The majority of me feels like it's been really easy. Again, we're just best friends and we communicate really well. And it's been so surprising. I always had in my head when I was younger that once you get married, your entire life changes. Everything's going to be different.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
And now it's like my life has only gained this immense peace, you know, and like how much easier life is when you're married to a good human.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
So I think it scared me for a long time. I think everyone's kind of in their head about the marriage commitment part of it. But it's just been, it's just added such a, yeah, such a level of peace to me.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
We did take the dating portion like so seriously. And every day we were prompted with questions if you want to talk about it, obviously, as you know. And so there was a lot that wasn't shown in the show that we talked at length about. I had said in the show, too, that I've never laid this foundation for a relationship before.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
And that speaks volumes because I've had some pretty big relationships before. Yeah.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
us together and like that future and so it was exciting to be able to like oh like if we want to have kids like when we have kids how's that gonna look like you know that was exciting to me i i mean there were tons of fun questions right and like light-hearted and we could laugh all day but what was important to me was all to also to find a partner that i could be vulnerable with yeah
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
And so asking those really deep, like uncomfortable questions, borderline, like one of them was what's your biggest regret in life? So I was looking forward to opening that door with Daniel because obviously it's like fun and go lucky in the beginning. Everyone's excited to be there. But knowing that you can have like a multidimensional relationship with someone was huge. So that's good.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
Yeah, that was clear from yours. Well, and our cast list was leaked while we were still filming even. So even when we were out, like there were people coming to the filming locations trying to like ask questions. And so it's just so tiny and not a lot of like really exciting things happen there. So it was a huge... We had the Super Bowl a few years ago.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
so everyone was really invested in it so again I felt like a lot of people knew but social media has just been the biggest thing of not being able to post each other like how cool that is that that can be a thing now I know I talk about that in the pods like social media has been an insecurity of mine in past relationships so the fact that like Daniel can post me and I can post him and we can be so proud of each other is something that I've really looked forward to I can't wait till the day I can post my man yeah
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
Did you have to go ringless for the last year? They allowed us to wear rings, but since the cast photos were dropped, we have not been wearing them.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
And they didn't show it. But before I went into that date, I said to Meg next to me in the hallway, I have a weird feeling about this next date.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
And it was Daniel. And then he proposed within like a minute. And here we are, you know.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
We did. We were each other's number one since day one though, which was like obviously very apparent to us both. But we talked about it that we wanted to also honor the system and experiment and really take wholeheartedly like what Chris was telling us every morning. Keep your options open. Just because they're number ones now doesn't mean they'll be number ones for forever.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
So we did keep other doors open and entertain those conversations. But it was always clear to us that we were each other's person. Yeah.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
You can like see a really tiny sliver through that door. And I was looking through it and the lights like shine from behind you. And so I was like, I was in my head. I'm like, oh my gosh, he's six. He's like six, five. And then I look up and I'm like, I'm six, five. Like, wait a second.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
Even if conversations started to go that way, that could lead to a physical descriptor of some sort. We were like, nope, don't answer that question. We don't want to know.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
Yeah. I feel like the entire dating world now is superficial. It is. Like that's just the way it is. And, you know, people have talked about Daniel talking about his height so much. But that is a very big issue in the dating world today. A lot of women are saying that they don't want someone that's 5'8". Yeah, they don't want a short king. Short king season. Short king season.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
So that is a very real concern of any single guy, I would think, right now.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
You can miss out on the most incredible humans just because of these superficial little preferences that don't matter. Hair color, height.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
Give the short king a chance. I don't know who needs to hear that.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
I've always dated taller than me. So I'm also guilty of thinking that height was important. It's not. I married him and it's incredible. So honestly, past Taylor, yeah, but I'm a completely different human than I was even at the beginning of the experiment a year ago.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
Have you seen those memes that's like, I don't know why no one approaches me at a bar. And then it's like me at a bar. And you're like swinging your purse around your neck. That is me. So I don't think you would have come up to me.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
I don't get it. Yeah. What's interesting, though, is we talked about I never dated someone younger than me, and Daniel never dated someone older than him. And I am, in fact, older than him. So on dating apps, I don't know if we ever really would have meshed because we had our ranges set at different ages, and we just never would have meshed, I don't think. How old are y'all? I'm 32.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
I'm 30. Okay.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
Okay. Yeah. It's two years.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
Age is just a number.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
Regardless, though, anyone younger than me, anytime I did try and date someone younger, I was like, this is why I don't do it.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
Because I was just proved right every time.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
So at the reveal, I was like, obviously taking in Daniel's voice and, you know, to his body and all the things, but I'm also racking my brain during that reveal of like, this man looks so familiar to me. And I get back to the hotel afterwards and I'm alone. We don't have our devices kind of spiraling. Um,
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
Um, at that time it wasn't uncommon that I got single guys that would follow me on Instagram and I would, it was almost like a form of dating app like social media was. It was huge for me at that time. So I had convinced myself that like, because he looked familiar and I could kind of recall things from a profile that he maybe was one of these guys that had followed me.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
So anyway, I went to production's office and chatted with them. I got slight confirmation from someone with a device. So I came to this conclusion very confidently that I was right. So I went into this conversation with Daniel pretty much thinking I knew the answer. And Daniel, sweet as pie, comes in just... I know.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
Watching it back... It's like, whatever you need.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
It's not me. And that's not something that I've ever experienced. Like, patience. And typically in the past, I would have been gaslit. Like, you're crazy. What do you... Yeah. So anyway, looking back now, just makes me love him more. But... He came in and we chatted about it. Obviously, I looked at the followers list. Did not see his name. Did not follow me.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
Still, though, I do believe I have seen his profile. I'm sure it came up on my Explore page because I can still remember this specific mutual follower that we had. And that's still a person that we both know. So... I know that that's a fact, but other than that.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
Everybody knows everybody. And again, it wasn't that he followed me at some point. My only concern and why I needed to talk to him about it was that he may have known what I looked like, which just defeats the whole purpose of why we were there. Yeah. That was my only issue.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
Of course, the internet's come up with a million other reasons for me having that conversation, and obviously we knew how it ended, but it was really tough to sit and take all of those opinions and harsh reactions to it when we knew what was coming in the next batch of episodes. How did you feel about that whole... I understood why...
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
You know, we were there to decide if we were getting married in a very short period of time. So I feel like any concern, any question that you have about anything in your relationship should be talked about. Like that's okay before you get married to ask questions to each other. And it's important. You don't want that lingering.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
Ours happened to be on camera.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
Yeah. I mean, Hey, okay. We're married. So, um, she loves her man. Yeah. Not too much. It's,
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
it's been a very frustrating week listening to all those opinions because it just couldn't be further from the truth and there's so much of the story and so much context that I wasn't able to like really explain and I talk about on the show that social media has been an insecurity for me in past relationships and again you bring those insecurities with you no matter what kind of relationship you get into you just work through them with the right person so Daniel did just that so I'm very fortunate that he's so patient and understanding
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
Conflict, yeah.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
Yeah. Daniel's much better at laughing it off.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
I cry a lot. We balance each other out a lot. I just have a very tender heart, and I knew our pure intentions and the wholesomeness behind it all, and it really was just...
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
displayed um for the world in a they just took it so different than what it was at the time so um it's been it has been difficult for me but i've used the hidden words feature immensely in the last block delete block delete yes and then i had people commenting like she's deleting stuff it's like Yes, I am. I had always heard people like yourself say, don't get lost in the comment section.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
I naively thought that meant going on Reddit, looking for the comments, not that they would be sent directly or posted directly onto my personal page. I don't have a lot of control in my life, but what I do have control over is my personal social media account. I will delete and block if you're posting those disgusting things.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
You're making me so excited, baby.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
Now, it's like sitting here today. I'm not surprised that we are the only couple. But at the time, we were very surprised that Virginia and Devin didn't get married. But now, like, we clearly see that everyone was not supposed to be with each other for a reason, and they're not each other's people. So my answer has definitely changed on that in the last year.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
We just felt, well, so Lauren and Dave ended before we were done filming.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
you know we love everybody and like we were all very close yeah and so we were hoping that you know everyone's on their person but it's just not realistic and so um whatever i don't know if there are anything specific with the couples i'm close with the girls daniel's close with the guys like just based on conversations that we were all having while filming like we just kind of got a pulse on who is really going to make it there or not yeah so no shade but oh
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
No, the internet's going crazy saying that you guys' season is so boring. Love is bland. Honestly, that second drop, I was like, I had to fast forward through some of it.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
But here's the thing, though. Like, you can't win, right? Because people say... Give us the love stories. We don't care about the drama. And then when it is love stories and they're like, this is too boring. We don't like this.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
Yeah, a little bit. I do think it gets more interesting. The playlist helped though.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
I don't know if no one's ever been to Minnesota, but that is what everyone looks like in Minnesota.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
I do see a lot of the Midwest in our season, though, as well. Like, we are very passive in the Midwest. And watching it back, I'm like, oh, I could tell that people were just trying to, like, fill the gaps to keep things kosher.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
Like, reality TV isn't really a part of a normal lifestyle in the Midwest, so I think we're all very cautious of the camera part of it just because it is so... out of left field for us.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
But then when that comes out, people are going to be like, we want to love stories.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
They don't want happiness.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
Wake us up a little bit.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
I feel like it all got aired at the reunion, too. Like, everyone really came with what they needed to address.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
Honestly, any secret that I would have had to shock anyone was what was discussed at the reunion. And I kind of knew that all that was coming because, again, I'm friends with the girls and Daniel's friends with the guys.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
Yeah, it was heavy. I had to hold my tongue a lot. I wanted to put in my two cents. On what? Well, I mean, I spoke up about Sarah and Ben. I spoke up. I'm close with all the girls that got engaged, but I'm really close with Lauren and Sarah and I will defend them to the death. So I had obvious, there's two sides to every story, but I definitely know Sarah's side.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
And it was hard for me to sit and listen to their back and forth. I had so many conversations with Sarah off camera that she was telling me
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
things about the relationship and things he was saying and so I spoke up he was shift blaming the he was shift blaming shifting the blame thank you um to Sarah about um kind of like leaving him high and dry after their wedding day yeah um saying her priority was never him but he asked her if they could schedule their last date around the Iowa women's basketball game like her final date before she moved to Nashville and it's like okay if we don't talk about priorities yeah
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
That's not it. That is very interesting. So I spoke up about that. I was nervous, though. My voice was shaking.
What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
You were like, I have something to say. Please don't be mad at me.

Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
Did you have any advice? Well, Lauren came to Sarah and I like off the jump when we got back to Minneapolis. She like pulled us aside and was like, this is what's going on. She explained the whole situation to us. And at the time I was like, it's not going to be a big deal. Boy, was I wrong. No.
What's the Reality?

Literally the biggest. Obviously I was disappointed that Dave was taking the opinions of others over his fiance and wasn't listening to her. Watching it back, I'm going to cry. It felt like Lauren was screaming at the top of her lungs and no one was listening to her. And as her best friend, that's like really sad to see.

So I felt like I could see that in her eyes the entire time we were filming back in Minneapolis. But man, the confidence she has now and that it's come full circle that this was all like fabricated to chase clout for this guy. Like, um, I just feel so like redeemed for, for her. Yeah. Yeah. Happy for her.

No, I just... I mentioned to him this morning that at the reunion last night, I was going to say some other things, but I never got the opportunity to. But I've had a lot of heartbreak in my life, and I think a lot of girls out there can identify with that as well. And I just... I want to tell people that...

What's the Reality?
Minnesota Nice with Love is Blind Season 8's Lauren, Taylor & Daniel
Yeah, I learned to trust myself. We don't have our devices when we're going through the pods in Honduras. You are relying solely not on the opinions of your best girlfriends. Like, look at this photo of him. Is he cute? Should I date him? You don't have those outside influences. You trust yourself and your gut wholly. And that is not something that I have always done in the past.

So to prove to myself that not only could I trust my gut, but then I got my husband out of it too. Like I'm good. Like I don't need anyone else to approve of it. I got here today because of my choices and my decisions and I have the best human next to me. So.
