The following podcast is a dear media production.
Hello, and welcome back to your favorite podcast.
DM influenced.
You guys, we have special guests.
Probably our most requested podcast guests ever.
Is it really?
Lian and Olivia.
Are you being sarcastic or really?
No, I mean, I don't really know.
I'm sure people request.
We don't take requests, though.
We got to be top of fun.
Lan Olivia here, and Olivia is currently, gosh, how many weeks pregnant are you?
Almost 38.
38.
Yeah.
And last night, no, two nights ago, you thought you were going to labor.
I was having contractions, like seven to eight minutes apart.
Well, I think contraction.
For how long?
Probably like an hour.
An hour.
My app was like, you need to go to the hospital.
Oh, but I didn't tell him.
Let me ask you something.
Did y'all get the app without commercial breaks?
Like, did you pay for the app?
I paid $5.
Okay, good.
Because my second child, I didn't.
And I'd be in the middle, like, screaming of pain.
And I'd be like, this is brought to you by Stanley.
And, you know, Lana, what was going through your mind that hour?
I'm always wondering what the fruit is every week.
That's what I'm really invested in.
So, like, you know, we were a mango.
That was probably the best week.
The size of the baby.
Yeah.
You know what I'm talking about?
Yeah, you know.
Everyone knows the fruit at.
Yeah, yeah, we know.
I knew, so Liv's kind of a hypochondriac.
So when she said she thought she was going to labor, I was like, it'll pass.
She's like, she's been saying that since day one.
Like, there's always something.
I texted him.
And I said, I'm not trying to.
be dramatic, but I kind of felt like I'm having some contractions right now. He was in the living
room and I was in our bedroom. But nothing ever came from it. You realize that that's like,
we're being like our mother like that. Oh, like not worrying. Yeah. Yeah. I think there's definitely
a happy medium. Like I don't worry about anything and live worries about everything. So it kind of
blends together well. Yeah. Like we would be like dying sick and yeah, I'd be like, it's fine.
You're going to school. Put some dirt in it. Put some dirt in it. The craziest thing, I've never seen
they also say you're sarcastic.
I've never seen you worry and or be sarcastic.
Oh, I feel like I worry a lot.
I don't know if I'm serious.
I'm not very sarcastic.
I feel like you worry.
I've never seen you worry.
Really?
It's internal.
All the time.
I saw this on TikTok.
This means I'm going to die because this is on my finger.
Like everything.
She has everything she's ever seen on TikTok.
She has it.
Or she thinks she has it.
Are you getting your, so is it from TikTok?
Like everything.
Oh,
Probably, yeah.
The propaganda.
Yeah, probably.
Oh, tell them what you signed.
Oh, the petition against the data centers in Nashville.
Here's the thing.
I always worry when she signs a petition because I know she doesn't know what she's signing.
And then she'll ask for my phone and be like, I need to sign this.
And I said, what are you signing?
She said, the data centers are too loud for the baby animals and they're going deaf.
And I'm like, I don't know if that's true.
Like, that's so outlandish.
We need to look into this.
Let's not sign petitions without talking about it.
Um, Theo Vaughan and Matt Rive were talking about the data centers.
But they're very anti-datas centers.
I get that there's reasons people don't like it, but I don't think it's because of the animal's hearing.
Like, I don't think that's the reason.
No, I really think they started.
Okay, so.
Okay, here we go.
They started.
And I don't know where I stand with this.
I'm just going to say that.
Yeah, yeah.
But there was a big Utah one that the shark tank guy was in, Kevin O'Leary.
And it got blocked by city council or whatever, because you have to get it through zoning.
And he basically hired this private investigation team and he found that all of the IP addresses where all the dissent was coming from online was from a foreign government.
So he took the stance of like, this is actually foreign governments like not wanting us to be ahead in the AI race.
Because here's the thing.
The only thing that is going to set us back in the AI race is compute.
That's what everyone's fighting over.
It's data center space.
It's data center space because we need more compute power because like, you know how like when you're talking to chat GBT and it like loses memory?
I'm like, I'm like chat.
Can you put a blue sofa here?
What will this look like?
It's because we need more memory, i.e. processing power, compute.
And that's the hold up.
That and power.
And so I feel like they tried to start blocking the data centers by saying it was going to cause a water crisis.
And I don't feel like that works.
No one cared.
And then they were like, live.
You're killing the baby.
animals and she was like absolutely no data so you're hurting their hearing it works for me I
signed it multiple times no I know I think it's genius now everyone's gonna block it this might be a dumb
question but why can't they just put the data centers a little bit further out where is the one in
Nashville is it genuinely by the zoo like why does it have to be next to the zoo I don't know why can't
they put it like you know Thompson station or something I don't know I don't know well the
the I want I don't know that either actually I don't know maybe it has to be like
It has to be a certain radius.
Yeah.
Either way, we kind of have some PTSD when it comes to politics.
Because when we first started dating, one of our first dates, I took her to vote in a local election.
Is this 2020?
This is, no, no, it wasn't like a national election.
We all had a local council.
Like we all have PTSD as not just you.
No, no. So one of our first day, we were only dating like a month and there was a local
election I cared about.
I had something to do with public transit or something.
So I took her to vote because she had a Tennessee ID, but she was living in Indiana.
And so I thought it would work, but it didn't.
And they kicked her out.
And she didn't get in trouble, but they turned her away.
But in California, you can vote with nothing.
Yeah, but here it's more stupid.
Yeah, they couldn't find my address.
And I told him it wasn't going to work because it was like an old address.
But my ID said it.
And she's like, I can't find your address on here.
I'm so sorry.
Like, I'll call down and figure this out.
I was like, you know what?
It's okay.
Let me go home and like refill out my computer.
So if that was now, she would leave me if she got turned away.
Do you hate getting in trouble?
Yes.
I don't like to break the rules.
No.
Really?
I don't know.
Which is hard with you guys because I feel like you all do.
No.
They were literally raised to bend rules.
Here's our motto.
Ask forgiveness.
Don't ask permission.
It's not about breaking the rules.
It's just about finding another way to get by them.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Which is.
Breaking the rules.
Yeah.
Bend.
You don't bend you.
Or you bend, you don't break.
What do you feel like?
But your mom.
Are you scared of getting in trouble?
Never.
No.
No, because what's the worst that could happen?
I feel like y'all were raised.
Y'all were raised.
That's how I'm like, the worst thing that happens is I get kicked out of my house, I have to live on the street.
I'd be a first time offender.
They wouldn't do anything for that.
Y'all, y'all were raised to believe that the establishment was against you and your job is to survive against it.
It is against us.
It is against us.
It is.
It's true.
It's true.
No, that is so true.
Did you get in trouble?
Is it, kid?
No.
No.
No.
I didn't feel like you, I felt like you cared about getting in trouble.
trouble. No, I don't know I just kind of did my own thing. I wasn't personal. Yeah, you did make a lot of
C's and like I would have never. Yeah, like why does it matter? Yeah, like why do your grades matter?
He was ahead of his time. Yeah. Yeah. That surprises me. That didn't affect me at all.
Like what I studied in college, completely irrelevant. No, it didn't affect my life. Same,
but I was like such an achiever. Like I just wanted it to say I had it. That's right. You wanted to be
class president. You wanted to dance, country dance, all this stuff. I'm like, why? Like why?
Why?
Who you're trying to be?
I don't know.
It was like my worth.
You're not going to be a country Western dancer?
What's the last time you did that?
It's been a while, but honestly I blame it on Jordan because he doesn't like to dance.
Yeah, she does blame it on me.
Yeah, y'all were very different.
Yeah, we were very different.
You know what's so funny about, I don't know if this is like breaking news, but what's so funny about your degree?
Have you ever shared?
Oh, that I didn't get the degree.
I told Jordan this the other day.
My mind was blown.
Oh my God, Mom is behind.
Like a mom is behind us. Can you? Well, because mom and dad are like, go study finance because you can be really
successful in finance. Is this the first time she's hearing this? I mean, I don't, maybe. But I was
touring a lot in college. I was always gone. And so that's not an easy degree to miss classes.
So I just talked to my counselor and we switched me to general business, which I think mom and dad would
have freaked. And I switched to general business and no one ever knew. They told all their friends.
Mom still thinks this day that you got a degree in finance. No.
I am like in shock.
Yes, she just says it's okay.
Y'all are successful.
It didn't matter.
Yeah.
I wasn't going to use business anyway.
No, I get it.
I measured in like exercise science, kinesiology, biology.
Yeah.
And then you both became YouTubers.
I can't remember anything like at all.
That's right.
We should have studied film editing and video editing and production and audio and all.
But honestly, if y'all studied it, you probably wouldn't have grinded.
Probably doing business.
Yeah.
Probably done business.
No, that's so true.
So would you say that.
like opposites attract and that makes sense in your relationship like do you all feel like your
opposites yeah i would say we're opposite about a lot of stuff i think the what attracted her was i spent
that dollar rose on hinge and sent it to her so i could cut the line and i was her first and only
hinge date ever just think if i didn't pay the 99 cents all the time that he pays a dollar
a dollar it was worth every cent if i wouldn't have paid the dollar you'd have gone out with someone
else we would not be here right now wait so tell me about your experience on hinge so you you only had
one day on Hedge and it was Landon.
Yeah.
How long?
How long?
What?
You, like, messaged and was, like, what's your number?
Yeah.
And then you called me.
I said, hey, there.
And we exchanged, like, one message.
And I said, just give me your number.
I'll call you.
And for three days, she didn't respond.
So I thought she ghosted me.
Why didn't you?
So then you did the rose.
I did the rose first.
I never been on a day on Hinge.
And I don't know.
Like, I had it, but, like, didn't, you know, like, talk to people on it.
Yeah.
And so I felt like you pursued me in.
like asked me on an actual date and called me and that's how it like worked out what was your
first date we went to a rooftop in Nashville W that's right good old where did you think after the first
date I thought it went good yeah oh it went better than that I thought it went very well you showed me
the text she texted her friends you want to tell him you want me to tell yeah she texted and said
that that we were going to get married wow I don't know if it was exactly that no she
She said he was awesome.
The date was amazing.
We're getting married.
Were there any red flags?
Hmm.
You can be honest.
You're married with the child now.
I don't think there were any red flags.
She has some now, but at the time,
I'm definitely red flags now.
What are the red flags now?
I don't know.
I heard the Valentine's Day.
What was the Valentine's Day?
Oh, no.
Let me defend myself.
I know.
It was your first.
We went.
No, no, no.
We went to Dallas and mom has this amazing Breville coffee maker and Liv's been obsessed.
Living gets Starbucks every single day.
She told me and I quote, if we get this Brevel, it's like a $1,200 machine, I'll never
get Starbucks again.
Wait, this is not a story we've heard.
Yeah, I've never heard this story.
I was talking about how you didn't know that the flowers would sell out.
Oh, that's another problem.
Okay, well, go back to that.
But tell us the Brevel story.
So I got her the Brevel thinking this is what she wanted.
But then she told me it was a gift for myself.
When I'm thinking this is what she said she wanted.
Oh, you like, oh, so she thought that you got, yeah, I've experienced that before.
You know?
We're like, no, where I get a gift, but I really for me.
Well, I use it.
Really?
Which gifts?
I don't know.
I used to think about it.
I always get you like designer bags.
I don't want them.
I told the wrong.
I buy a gift for me.
Oh.
Yes, for sure.
It's like you don't like my shoes.
And so you're like, I got you these shoes.
Yeah.
And it's like you really just don't like my shoes.
Yeah.
Wait, I do have to say something.
We didn't have an argument about the brevel, though.
Yeah, it's been more like under the breath.
Like, that was a gift for yourself.
But I will say something now that I never said to you is that it was the wrong color.
Oh, that's what did it.
That's what did it.
No, we never.
That wasn't an argument, though.
They didn't have pink.
The brevel.
Did you want pink?
No, I wanted the white and gold one.
But I never told him.
Now I'm telling him.
That hurts.
Well, next Valentine's Day, you're going to have flowers a couple days before.
You have two brevel.
I picked my battles. I was like, you know what? I can't, I can't tell them that it wasn't the right color.
Yeah. You said something the other day. It was like yesterday, you were like, yeah, you know, I just don't understand because if Liv is feeling something, I just want to fix it. And I just laughed because I was like, oh, man, we all go through that.
There's no, because it's not about fixing it. It's about listening. It's about listening. Solutions are irrelevant.
Solutions are irrelevant because you actually, at least Danny, she wants to fix it herself. She just wants me to understand.
Well, it depends. If I want you to fix it, I'll be like, can you fix it?
Yeah, you'll say directly, can I fix it?
But I'm more bossy. Like, I'm just like, hey, can you do like, can you please go do this?
Yeah. And then I'm like, okay, she wants to do that.
But if you're like, I'm feeling sad about this, I'm like silent.
The worst is when, no, the worst is when they're like, do you want me to listen or do you want me to fix it?
And I'm like, ew, stop. Don't even ask for that.
Just be here.
It's like, I want you to know what I want.
Yeah, I'm like, ew.
Yeah. That's the number one thing. It's like, I want you to read my mind and know what I want. And if you don't, then it's on you. That's like, that's the most relatable thing. That's hard heard. It's true. It's true. But you master it. Yeah. So you're 38 weeks pregnant. You're about a year and a half into marriage. Both of you all. Both, obviously. How are you doing? I think pretty good. Yeah, pretty good. I think I'm a little emotional. A lot emotional.
right now.
I can't tell.
See, that's the thing.
I don't see this from you either.
You seem like just like steady Eddie all the time.
Yeah.
Really?
Oh no.
I hear in the water cooler at the family water cooler that you're emotional, I'm like,
I don't see it.
Like, Liv will be like so stressed out.
Like let's just say like it's like something like you can't find something to wear
testing I get stressed out about stuff like that.
And I'm like, she's fine.
And then Lannon will be like, no, she's really stressed out.
I'm like, no, she's not.
Like I really cannot tell.
Yeah.
I feel like people.
like that. I feel like I'm internally stressed out, but I might not show it.
But that's hard because then how do we know? Because then we just probably push you too far.
Like our family is very pushy about things. And like if you don't tell us like, hey, like,
and you don't tell us the boundary. We think you're okay. Like yesterday we had, what was it?
Y'all wanted to shoot a reel. And you wanted to live to be part of it. But it meant she had to
leave the house right now. And she wasn't aware. She wasn't dressed. She wasn't ready.
So I know live. So I went to talk to say, hey, do you want to go do this? But I could tell
she was stressed. So I told y'all just to go because she's scared to let anyone down.
I know, but it's like, but we wouldn't have known that. And so mom and I would have just kept
pushing. Yeah. And they'd be like, live, get your stuff and like get in the car. Let's go.
Like, you know, you got to get better about boundaries. They'll eat you a lot.
No, I'm like, because we not only that, but like, we are not very good at reading people unless
they tell us. It's bad. That's right. And like, and then I, because I look at you, I'm like,
She's fine.
Yeah.
No, I feel like I was fine.
I wasn't really stressed out, to be honest.
Yeah, you weren't upset or anything, but I can definitely tell you were like, it was overwhelming.
And you're going to be happier if you're not overwhelmed.
So I just told them to go so you could like take your time.
I hate when like I don't know what I'm aware.
And I'm like not ready.
And people are like, I get really stressed out.
Yeah.
Usually I can read people though.
And I, I, I, your poker face, I would have had no idea you were stressed.
You know who else is like that is meaning.
Tim, Tim.
Yeah.
That's why I'm saying.
this family.
But we push,
you got to communicate.
They'll push you off the ship.
They'll work you to the boat.
And then be like,
and then you're like, I'm tired.
And they're like, what?
You've been feeling this for years?
Yeah.
I will say, you guys are always on the go.
Like, y'all don't stop.
Like, I don't understand.
You think?
You all don't get tired, I feel like.
We could tire.
Especially.
No, I get tired.
But Danny, Stella, and Tornado,
they're built the same.
They'll never get tired.
I took a rest last night.
night. You literally sleep last night? No, she, arrest was she sat down for 30 minutes and then
she wanted to go get ice cream in downtown Franklin. We did. We went down there. So cute. Very cute.
So cute. I'm like, I could see us just moving to Franklin one day.
Father's Day is coming up and I feel like dads are some of the hardest people to shop for because
most of us just say, I'm good. I don't need anything, which usually means everyone else is left
trying to figure out what we actually want. That's why I like cozy earth. It's the kind of
thing I probably wouldn't have gone out and bought for myself, but once I started using it,
I totally understood the hype. Their bamboo sheet set is genuinely one of those upgrades you notice
right away. And for summer, I've really been liking the everywhere pant and everyday polo. They're
comfortable, lightweight, easy to move around in, and they somehow work whether you're running errands,
heading to dinner, or chasing kids around all day. What stands out to me is that they don't just feel
good when you first put them on. They end up becoming the clothes you keep reaching for over and over
again. I can totally understand why people buy multiple pairs, and Cozy Earth stands behind everything
they make with a 100-night sleep trial on the sheets, a lifetime warranty on the clothing,
and hassle-free returns if anything isn't right. For the dads, stepdad's, grandpas, and every
father figure who shows up, this one's for them. Cozy Earth's bamboo sheet set, everywhere pant,
and everyday polo are designed to keep him cool, comfortable, and actually relaxed all summer long.

post-purchase survey, mention that you heard about cozy earth right here. Have you ever put on a
full face of makeup in the morning and then by the end of the day it somehow looks worse, like heavier,
cakeier and just not like your skin anymore? That is why I love OG. It is certified
organic makeup that actually performs like luxury makeup, but still feels so lightweight and
breathable. Their crystal contour collection is so good because it's three sticks.
for warmth, rose quartz for flush, and opal for glow. You can do your whole face in five minutes,
and it just gives you that natural, glowy, good skin day look. And what makes OG different is that
most makeup is 80 to 90% pigment and filler. But this collection flips that. It's nearly 90%
skincare ingredients, like green coffee oil, elderberry extract, and cold pressed jojoba. So it feels
skin enhancing while still giving you buildable color and dimension. If you're ready to raise
your beauty standards, OG's got you covered. Go to OG.

I always feel more put together when my nails are done. Even if everything else is crazy, if I have a
good manicure, I feel like I have my life a little bit more together. That is why I love Olive in June,
because I can get salon worthy nails at home on my own time without having to make an appointment
or sit at a salon for hours. Their manny system comes with everything you need for a salon quality
manicure in one box. You get salon-grade tools designed for DIY, and you can customize it with your
choice of six polishes. And their polish lasts seven days or more without chipping, which is honestly
amazing. Plus, it breaks down to just $2 a manicure, which is so much more affordable than going to the
salon every time. I also love that Olive and June has so many options now. They have gel, builder gel,
pressons, even pressies for tweens. So whether you want the whole mani routine, or you need something
quick. They have something that works for real life. And the pressons are so good. They look real. They
last so long. They come in so many sizes so you can actually find the right fit and you can get a full
manicure in less than 10 minutes. Visit olive and June.com for 20% off your first system.

Okay, one more thing I have to say about Liv to give her a lot of credit because we are
very opposite. She's very opposite than our family. She's very empathetic. So she's always like,
oh, I don't know if I said something that hurt their feelings or like, she's always thinking
about conversations she had with people. Like, do you think I went too far? Um, no, that's a necessary
and we're not like that at all. No, that's why I think it's good. We probably heard a lot of feelings
and we're like, oh, they're fine. It's like to a fault though. Like I don't like being like that.
Really? Yeah. Because I'll just like overanalyze something I said. I'm like, did I offend them?
Yeah. And it's the least offensive thing ever. Yeah.
But I think that's where the balancing act is really good for you all.
Yeah.
You know?
So, but I'm just curious, like, you are probably more emotional now.
Are y'all, are you all good?
Because y'all are kind of at that phase in every pregnancy, and we've been through four,
where it's hard to be good right now.
We're good right now.
Yeah, we're good.
It just depends on the day or the hour.
It's like the hardest thing.
right now. Hardest thing, I would say at first, Liv was adjusting to getting pregnant and how
her body would change and that, I think, took a toll. She's totally cool with it now, I would say.
You're like, owning it. I kind of just had to let it go, you know, but like once you start gaining
weight, it like, and like your clothes aren't fitting right? Like, I felt like that.
Did you have a hard? You just felt ugly. Yeah. Same. Yeah. It's so hard. And then, like,
did you ever get the armpit fat? Oh, yeah. Oh, for sure. I call it the armpit vagina. I call it
the armpit vagina, it just is like, it's so bad.
She doesn't have that.
No, I don't have that.
No, I don't.
Landon.
I didn't know you were checking on my armpits.
No, I try not too.
I will say Liv's always happy when she has a tan.
So if she's feeling feisty, maybe get her a spray tan.
Oh, I love a good taint.
We're kind of the same.
Yeah.
And like I have to have like, I have to have time to get ready.
Like put on my full face, like feel good about my hair and makeup.
Or like, I don't want to go.
Yeah.
No same.
Yeah.
I get that.
Yeah, especially pregnant.
It's hard.
It's really hard.
But yeah, you do kind of have to let it go and just let the bump speak for itself.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And the only thing I feel like really stressing her out now, she's totally cool.
I feel like I don't want to speak for you, but it seems like you're happier with how things are going, except she really wants her baby to flip because we're breach.
I know.
Every day.
We're going to be in the pool.
Yeah, doing handstands in the pool, chiropractor, acupuncture.
Where are you getting like all of this information from TikTok?
TikTok and people on Instagram.
Like,
like Instagram.
Hey, Instagram.
I don't know if you know this,
but people,
like the crowd knows what's up.
I had a wart on this finger
for five years.
I've been battling this thing.
Live won't let me touch her.
As long as I've known,
this hand,
can't touch her with this hand.
I have to wear a glove.
Like it's crazy.
I've had a war.
About a month ago,
Instagram told me to put
apple cider vinegar on it every day.
Gone.
Did you put it?
Like,
because I just got a war on my foot.
I believe that.
It's on the top and it's really little.
It's like a cute little one.
Apple cider vinegar.
Apple cider vinegar.
Every day.
Did you put it on and like with a band-aid over it?
Did you just like kind of drip on there?
I just duct taped a cotton swab and it burns.
You got a duct tape on them everywhere it went.
You always had a lot of warts growing up.
I never.
I got it from you probably.
I mean really.
Oh come on.
Yeah.
I was not as warty as you would.
I had a wart too growing up.
I think it was from softball.
Yeah, mine was from volleyball.
Really?
Yeah.
I was very sport.
You played softball?
For a year.
And a half.
Like two summers.
I was really good the first year.
And it was like with the machine.
And then they moved me up, I think, because my age.
And then I was really bad in the next league.
So then I quit.
Y'all realize you might have really tall children.
So later is 5'9.
Are you 5'9?
About, yeah.
A bit taller.
5.9.
5.9 is a great height.
That's like my dream height.
Really?
Yeah.
You're pretty tall, too, though.
I'm 5'6.
No, I would say 5-6 is like pretty normal.
But 5-9 was always like my dream height.
Really?
Yeah.
You can have really tall athletic kids.
Actually, they say that the athleticism comes from the mom.
Are you pretty athletic?
I feel like I was pretty athletic.
Yeah.
I was pretty fast.
Yeah.
I'm married for jeans, you know?
You have some tall kids.
Her dad and sisters are tall.
We talked about this, but so since you did music growing up,
are you going to force your kids to play any instruments?
No, no.
I'll let them figure out what they want.
You can't force it.
But mom forced you and you wouldn't do anything.
Yeah, and I hated it for like four years.
Yeah, but look at you now.
I know.
I don't do music anymore.
So.
Hey, really?
Like, you're not going to force your kids to do anything?
No, no, I didn't say not anything.
I'm not going to force to do music.
I think they should be into something.
Give me chess.
But what if they're not into anything?
What if they're into like, I don't know, playing poker?
Like something.
Yeah.
What if they're into playing video games?
I mean, that's tough.
Well, we need to think about these things.
I know, I know.
I know.
I don't have a child.
I'm going to stay in age too because it could turn into something.
It could.
That's a really good curve at.
You better practice your video games every day.
If they're into it, they're going to do it every day.
They're going to practice.
No, people, there's like a whole market of like Fortnite coaches.
Oh, I have a good question.
What about if your child when they're like eight years old is like, I want to be a YouTuber?
Oh, that's tough.
That's tough.
It's very saturated.
Back when we did it, it's very nerdy.
And it was not hard to get a following.
Now it's not the people you want following you, but it was something.
I'm kidding.
I don't know.
I don't think there's any shame in that.
It's just very competitive.
It's like being an actor.
Would you, okay, what about if your child when they're like want to be posting on social media though?
Oh, no, no, no.
Like you would run their account?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think you have to.
You have to.
I don't think they can.
No, I know, but legally, you know, but they do.
They're age to get on their phone, their parents' phones, and they start posting stuff.
I don't know.
He likes YouTube.
Yeah.
He likes to watch cooking stuff on YouTube.
Really?
Like steaks and stuff.
Wait, and he's eight?
Yeah.
Actually, he might be nine now.
But he also likes to watch like video games, people playing video games.
Wait, that's so funny.
Yeah.
Eight seems so little, but then whenever I picture him, like, if he wanted to do that,
I could see him, like, having a YouTube show.
Yeah.
Like, he likes to watch it.
I feel like he likes to watch.
What if he comes and says he wants to work a normal nine to five?
You don't know.
That's great.
That would be very unique for our show.
our family, but I mean, if you want to do it, pursue your dreams. Very unique.
Except for Nini's been at her same job for 45 years. It's very impressive.
True.
Maybe she'll be a YouTuber one day. Yeah, if tornado loops are in.
Yeah. Here's the thing. By the time our kids at that age, there's going to be something new
anyway. Yeah. Yeah. It's not going to be YouTube or TikTok. Yeah, that's so true.
Okay, so, you know, baby could come any minute. What are you all most nervous about when it comes to
becoming parents. What do you got? I would say I don't know anything. Like in the past few months
I learned that you can't give a can't give a newborn water like that's the new thing. That's a new
that's a new thing. That's a new thing for me. Just learn how to swaddle. We took a class.
Okay. About swaddling. Yeah, I didn't take any notes though. So I'm worried I don't remember.
And literally all they teach you is how to swaddle and how to change their diaper. Like the fair minimum.
That was the only two things. That's so funny. What about, um,
Like do they teach you what cradle cap is or when teething starts?
I don't know about the cradle cap.
I don't know about the teething.
They taught us about the head, the cone.
They showed us pictures of babies with cone heads.
Oh, okay.
Didn't you have a cone head?
Yeah, so apparently the story goes,
our dad threw away my newborn pictures because I had a cone head.
Because you got stuck in the birth canal.
Right.
And I always thought that was, you know, sad and lame.
But then I saw pictures of babies of cone heads and now I kind of relate to them.
If our baby looked like that, I'd probably, you know.
The pictures of me too.
I'd throw that picture out too.
Yeah, they get stuck and their skulls are soft.
I'm aware of that.
Yeah.
So another thing that I just want to tell you guys about a baby that, like, I didn't know and it really freaked me out is they go cross-eyed a lot.
And don't be scared.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's okay.
They like are like, like they really do.
She's being serious.
Okay.
And it's all babies.
It's all.
Okay.
It's not just like your baby.
Okay.
For how long?
We're like, it's all babies.
It's just ours.
I promise you, it's all babies.
Okay.
No, they, not for long, probably like the first like six weeks of life.
Really?
That's a long time.
Yeah.
But it doesn't stay like that.
No, just make sure you don't like hit them on the head when they happen.
No, obviously not.
But I remember like one of your children had the baby helmet.
Yes.
I always thought that was for safety.
Isn't that an aesthetic thing?
Yes, it's totally for aesthetics.
It's probably like if you had the cone head and you wanted to like round it out and like get, you know, then you can put them in the helmet.
But it's not for safety and it's not for like anything outside of aesthetics.
Oh, I always thought it was safety because like my head has lumps on it and I feel like if I had a helmet, it would help.
No, you definitely could have used a helmet for sure.
You can tell like there's people these days and you're like you probably needed that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, only Stratton had the helmet.
But it's so cute.
Yeah, no.
And he's a great shape head.
And it adds like the extra benefit of being safe.
So true.
Right.
So true.
Especially if they're cross-eyed, they can't see what they're doing.
You should all be wearing helmets.
That's another thing that I taught Landon the other day that he didn't know that babies also can't see.
Like, so they are, like, it's all blurry pretty much.
That's why they're attracted or they look at high contrast shapes in like geometric shapes or lights or whatever because they can't see anything until they're about like six months.
Wow.
I didn't know that until recently.
Yeah.
It's pretty crazy.
I'm trying to think what else was kind of shocking.
The water one got me to.
I'm not going to lie.
Just that babies don't drink water.
Yeah.
That blew my mind.
Like how did they figure that out?
Type of a thing.
Yeah.
And you said it was a new thing.
Is that a new thing?
No,
new thing for me.
I was like,
were we giving babies water 10 years ago?
Obviously you can breastfeed, right?
And if you don't,
you can do formula.
There's water in that, right?
Yeah, but I think they're not,
like, it's just not good for them to have, like,
sitting water in their stomach.
Oh, tell them where it takes a,
village comes from this is always a fun oh yeah so well they also used to have wet nurses you know what that is
you can guess underwater okay good guess because babies can swim right newborns so that's kind of true
they can do isr and you just throw them in there and they turn it over on their back but but three months
plus yeah okay we're not we're not gonna yeah especially if they're cross-eyed um so wet nurses are
were nurses back in the day that breastfed for you.
Oh, wow.
So they would, and where the term it takes a village comes from is breastfeeding.
They just like back in the village times,
they would pass the babies around and every,
every mom would breastfeed because sometimes they didn't have enough.
Oh, wow.
Which also makes sense because when you were trying to keep up with a village,
it's like impossible for when you're breastfeeding.
You have to stop every two hours.
It's like impossible to.
It's insane amount of work.
It takes a village.
And that's why I think it'll be really interesting for you, like when you're in labor.
I mean, I think you're planning on the epidural.
But like it's so weird.
Like it's so instinctual, I feel like for labor to be like a woman's game.
Like when you have like the female nurses and you have all these women around you that have been through it.
Like it's so like I just was like even though you want your husband there, it was so much like me relying on other females.
Well, I don't think husbands started coming in until like what the 70s, 80s maybe.
Like it used to be like husbands would just like with a cigar in the way.
Yeah, be out in the lobby.
But I could see.
I always thought that was crazy.
But then after going through it, especially a couple of unmedicated births, like I get it now.
Yeah.
I get it.
Because like, what are they?
Danny's trad wife journey has been something that should be studied.
Really?
I've got pretty extreme.
So you're saying you get why the husband's born in the room?
Yeah.
I mean, they're really.
Besides like the.
you know, it's nice to be able to hold hands and stuff, but like you do not rely.
I would say more for like an unmedicated birth.
You don't rely on the men in the room at all because they truly have no idea what's going on.
There's no way that they could understand.
Like and it's just like you want other females around that have been there, done that,
understand, get it.
Like they know exactly where it's hurting.
They know exactly what to do because it's so it's like nothing you've ever done before.
And so like for Jordan to be like breathe, I'd be, I'd like want to slap him.
Like he made a joke in the waiting room when I was like in a middle of a contraction and I've never been more living in my life.
Like you know, it just like wasn't funny.
Like it wasn't funny.
Like what did I say?
Were you mad because it wasn't funny or you're mad?
No, I was not because he was talking.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
She's just my general.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, but it wasn't you.
It's like.
Existence.
I get that.
No, it's every female feels that way.
No, I know.
I don't take.
Yeah.
About me.
No, I don't take anything.
Yeah.
I don't take a person.
No, it's like a lot of it's just, yeah, it's just.
It's interesting.
That's my biggest pro tip is I don't know if you take anything she says personally now.
I can't.
No, you have to let it go.
You got to let it bounce off.
Because I took for our probably first two babies, I took everything personally.
She'd be like, I'm livid with you.
And I'd be like, we'd spend three days trying to figure out why she was livid three days ago.
I didn't even know why.
Oh, you're talking about just while she was pregnant.
Just in general.
Yeah.
I take nothing personally.
Summer with kids is a whole different thing.
You're packing snacks, towels, sunscreen.
extra clothes and somehow still forgetting something every single time. So anything that makes the pool,
lake, or beach days a little easier is a win. That's why we've loved Minnow. Minnow is a family
lifestyle brand that feels timeless, fresh, playful, and polished, but still really practical for real
family life. Their girls rash guard one-piece, boys' boardies, and unisex rash guard shirts are
some of their bestsellers, and I totally get why. They're easy to put on, easy to take off,
and they have the right amount of stretch.
Every suit is designed with comfort,
performance, and protection in mind.
All suits have UPF 50 plus protection
blocking 98% of UVA and UVB rays,
which is huge when you're outside all day.
And the fabric has that buttery smooth feel,
but it's still made to hold up through multiple seasons.
I also love that Minnows collections
allow the whole family to coordinate
without feeling like everyone is wearing the exact same thing.
It feels elevated, but still simple and easy.
This summer, Minow goes to Cape Cod,
a place defined by tradition rather than discovery.
The Summer 2026 collection is built for the feeling of being back.
Salt, air, striped towels, and jumps off the dock,
pieces made for the summers your kids will remember.

You know, summer is almost here.
And for our family, that means we're,
already talking about vacations, time with the kids, and trying to make some great memories.
The last thing I want to be doing is stressing about whether we're on top of our finances while
we're trying to enjoy it. That's why I've been trying to get more organized financially
so I can spend less time thinking about money and more time being present with my family.
Monarch is the personal finance app that tracks everything, accounts, investments, savings
goals, and spending. One thing I like about Monarch is that it puts everything in one place.
Sometimes you don't realize how much lifestyle expenses have crept up until you
can actually see it. Having that visibility makes it a lot easier to make adjustments before it becomes a
problem. I also love that you can ask Monarch's AI assistant questions like, can I afford this
vacation without touching my savings, or how much did I spend on travel last summer? It's a really
simple way to get answers without digging through accounts yourself. Plus, the weekly AI recap gives
you a heads up on spending spikes, net worth changes, and upcoming expenses, so there are fewer
surprises. Use code Danny at monarch.com to get your first year half off at just $50.
That's 50% off your first year at monarch.com with code Danny. I love when a product smells so good
that people actually stop and ask what you're wearing. And with salt and stone, it's not even
perfume. It's deodorant. Their discovery set is the perfect way to try their award-winning
deodorant and find your signature scent. It comes with all four scents, Santal, Burgamot,
saffron and noroli. So you can actually test them and see which one feels the most like you.
I love this because sometimes ordering a scent online feels impossible. So the discovery set lets you
try all of them without committing to just one. And this deodorant really works for me.
It's aluminum-free formulated for 48-hour protection. And each product is made with a careful
blend of antioxidant and nutrient-rich ingredients. What I love most is that it feels elevated,
like rich girl bathroom, five-star resort, everything smells amazing kind of elevations.
It makes your everyday routine feel a little more luxurious, which I'm always here for.
And once you find your scent, it really does become part of your routine.
You put it on in the morning and you feel confident before you even leave the house.

Do you feel irritable?
Oh yeah.
What irritates you?
True.
Yeah.
It's just him.
It's just going to be relatable.
It's so true.
Well, recently, like, I feel like sometimes he'll order a bunch of Amazon stuff and, like, open it and halfway use it and then just kind of like leaves it there on the table.
And so I'm like, I recently had to tell him, like, we have to start heating stuff up.
Is he pretty messy?
No, not really.
I'm not, but like when we first got married, like if I left a couple of dishes in the sink,
that does not make her very happy.
So I feel like I'm pretty on top of the dishes now.
Yeah, it's been really good.
And as far as like, we do get a lot of Amazon packages.
We do a lot of Amazon ponds on Instagram.
And so we'll have stuff around.
And the clutter stresses are out.
So my role now is to make sure there's no clutter.
I'll just take a box and start putting all of his stuff in it.
And then I'll put it in the corner.
And he's like, do you know where my wallet is?
I'm like, it's in your box.
It's in your designated box.
That's a good idea.
Yeah. Like a land in box.
You should do that for me.
Okay.
And I should do that for you.
You do that for me, but you put my bracelets in my shoes.
And I saw my David Yurban from like five years ago in there.
That's true. It was in your box.
One thing Liv used to do is like I'd buy too much food at the grocery store.
And then she'd throw it away.
One night I bought this bag of beans, bag of freeholdas.
I came home.
They were gone.
She threw them away.
I was devastated.
Well, it's like every time he goes to the, goes to Kroger, he'll get like mustard or,
ketchup every single time so we have multiple and it's like the big bottles of ketchup and i'm like
we don't need this much ketchup i mean i love ketchup but like it's just and our fridge is small
we don't have enough it's a it's a it's a guy thing that's such a mark thing remember he always
buys fritos every time yeah but i was really craving beans that night and i came home brand new bag of
beans not even there i was devastated i just start throwing stuff away and i don't tell him though
that was the most hurtful moment of marriage so so relatable switching gears
a little bit. How do you guys feel about us moving to Nashville? I'm so excited. I can't believe it.
I know. I'm surprised because I feel like when we first started dating, you guys had looked at a
house one of the weekends y'all had come like in 20, 23. Yeah, we looked like once a year.
For the past five years. The past five years. Every couple months. Can I give you a hot take?
A few years ago, we were in the car and we were talking about Nashville. You said you didn't like Nashville.
I didn't. You didn't. And so my hot take is I don't know if you'll stay. Okay. I, I, I, I, I,
could see me leaving.
Yeah.
Like we get our hopes up and it's gonna be great.
But a year for now, if you left, I wouldn't be shocked.
Yeah.
No, I totally, it's crossed my mind for sure.
My take on-
But I will say that I am such a different person
than I was back then.
Yes.
When you didn't like Nashville?
When I didn't like Nashville.
I couldn't appreciate it because I wasn't in that stage of life
of what it like has to offer.
Because like I would say for like being single
and like being married and working,
I still like really love Dallas.
But for raising a family, I think I think I like Nashville better.
Yeah, I think because I know what you mean to because I was I was a proponent of Nashville.
We were on the same page like the first four times we visited.
But this past year I was like, no, I think this is where we're supposed to be.
And it was like an evolution in Danny to get here and to be excited about it.
She's probably more excited about Nashville than I am.
Wow.
Well, and I'm more like, I want to homeschool our kids.
Like I'm more, I'm almost like more extreme than he is.
The tribe life journey.
Yeah, because it was like a, it was like a for Danny and you can tell me if I'm wrong.
It was like a.
Nashville was like a process of shedding skin for you.
It was like, you know, you had to kind of let go of all these other identities.
And then accept like, okay, we have four kids.
We.
We.
we have to change a lot of things about our lives to be good parents to those four kids and now we're here.
Yeah.
And if we, my opinion though is if we do leave, because like the thing about all of you guys is Austin's is y'all do like new things.
So it doesn't, it wouldn't surprise me if you were like, oh, like I don't, I want to move somewhere else.
But I don't think you'd be like, I want to move back to Dallas.
I know.
I don't know.
It all became more real when we started looking when Stella turned five and we started looking at schools and like where she's actually going to
to spend her time every day, that's when a lot changed for me.
So I don't know.
We'll see.
I mean, if I don't move, if I don't like Nashville, it's probably because I'm going to move
out to like Thompson Station.
That would be crazy.
Did you guys go to like Leepers Fork the first time you all came here?
Yeah, that was a little scary for me.
But now I'm like, I can see it.
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah, no.
She just said like, oh, I could see us in Franklin.
And the reason I made a face at the camera was because that's where I started this
negotiation right and she was like she had a panic attack sitting on three acres she was like I'm
lonely yeah and then we're at this like Airbnb that it's on three acres and she was like this is
pretty freaking nice out here that's my dream the only thing that's a bummer about these like big
plots of land is you have no neighbors and I like neighborhoods also the other thing I think that
will keep us here is we just visiting before we move we went to two like parties the currents party
and then we had the divvy party.
People here are great.
It's such a welcoming community.
Like I could see us like the Lebrancer here.
And we don't know them.
But they,
when that law passed for the influencer law,
everyone was like,
they're moving out.
And he came on and he was like,
there's no way we're leaving our community here.
Right.
Because like the people are too great.
Yeah.
And I'm like,
okay,
the kids can't be in the content.
Fine.
That's fine.
That's not what the law says though.
No,
they amended it, right?
Right. What is that? They got rid of it. They it was just super broad when it started and that I'm
sure that they got some pushback right and then they made more specific amendments because the way it
was written before just made no sense. Yeah. It was like it would have been impossible for anything to
happen anyone to post anything like right and it was very specific like most I think most like well
established creators that we know because y'all have been in the space so long they're already
paying their kids like they're already like putting money aside for the
their kids, but the law was super specific. It had to be done through a trust. Like it couldn't have
been done through payroll. And so I think that they changed a lot. But it would have been a bummer
to be the example that they were trying to make out of you and be like, oh, like, because a lot of
times they'll write these laws and then they'll enforce it on someone as like an example. And then
it goes through years of litigation. But if you're that example, you have to pay all this money
to defend yourself. So that would have been hard. What do you think about, um,
getting mom and dad, do you think mom and dad will move to Nashville?
I think if we all believe you're going to stay.
Like I think that's the biggest hang up right now.
So we don't know because y'all are so quick to just change everything.
So a year for now, you'd be like, hey, we're going to Utah, you know, like.
So you don't think that.
Tennis Morp in now.
Yeah, I'm just saying like.
The trad journey letter all the way to LDIS.
Honestly, a lot of creators move here and then they move away.
They go to Florida.
They go somewhere else.
Really?
Yeah, I've seen that.
I've seen that online.
Yeah, there was someone recently who moved here from California.
Now they're going to Florida.
And it's like, we don't know.
I think once mom and dad can trust that this is where you all want to be, I bet they would come.
I think that there's, none of us have gone through this because we were the first to have grandkids.
And obviously we didn't have kids before this.
I think there's something solidifying with getting your kids in a school system that is a little bit more permanent.
At least K through six.
You know, I think there's probably another fork in the road when,
you go into middle school because that's like a very sensitive time. I think it's really hard to
uproot your kids in high school. Like that's just like not what you're supposed to do.
But that was the fork in the road for us was we were like, man, we're about to start this
new chapter. Are we sure we want to be here in Dallas to do it? Yeah. So I think we got at least six
years, unless Danny homeschools in which case we will probably be anywhere. We will be the bucketless
family. That's right. Yeah. Okay, moving on. Let's de-imfluing.
Landon and Olivia. You ready? Yeah. So I have some questions here that our producer wrote for us.
Nate. Nate. So let's see. Can you give us, give our audience some insight into your day to day?
Well, I always wake up earlier before Landon. He usually sleeps in 8.20 or something. I'll get up.
8.30. Which time do you go to bed? Like midnight. Oh, he's like a night out.
Do you all go to bed at the same time? I see most nights. We've,
recently started to you. We try to keep our phones away and like watch a show together.
What are you watching? What are we watching recently? I like documentaries. Yeah.
But so what do you watch together? That's a good question. That's one thing we struggle. We
don't have a lot of shows we like together because she likes, uh, off campus. Oh, she likes the farmer
wants a wife. Oh, I like farmer once a wife. It's a good one. We just started watching that.
We watched that show together and live likes that and I'll watch that for her. He doesn't love it.
I don't love it. Yeah. But one thing we genuinely both like
like is like competition reality shows so like there's a show on Netflix called the
celebrity the secret millionaire we love that it's kind of dumb we're not recommending
traders traders okay we love that kind of like i tried to get into traders with donna
kelsey yeah yeah people did not like her on that show no but that was a good season i tried to get
into it i really i think i watched like the first three episodes i couldn't get into it yeah i need to
try again do you watch love island i want to but i feel like i always kind of like put it
on and then I just kind of just yeah I want to be into it I want to be into that in the housewives
secret lives and more my wives that one's so good oh yeah I like that one so good I can't watch
Jordan loves that show too now have you tried I tried I can't one thing we do watch is we'll watch
love is blind but we'll do it on hyper speed because 90% of that show you can fast forward I agree I
always fast forward just the reveal give me to the drama like I like the crying I like the reveals
wait what is hyper speed like you take your remote and you fast forward it yeah because when they're
talking about their family and I don't care.
Oh, I thought it was like a feature where it cut out
dead space. That's just me holding the remote.
Oh, it's you. You're hyperchievous.
He's like you don't need to meet the second uncle.
Like, no one cares. So we'll watch it.
We'll watch like the whole season in an hour because we'll just fast forward.
Do you all listen to podcasts together?
No.
No. We listen to music in the kitchen.
What do you do together besides watching the show?
I feel like we're together all the time.
Yeah, we're together all the time because we work together a lot.
and then we do we eat out together get a lot of Mexican food hang with friends and
yeah going walks live loves to walk walking is good she can walk he doesn't love to walk though
like I love a long walk but when we go it's like 20 minutes and then we'll go back that's a good
that's a good yeah it's like a short walk I don't love walking I like running walking is kind of
It's kind of boring for me.
I only run if it's from something, so I'm not.
Okay, Landon, take us back a little bit.
What do you remember about growing up with me?
Any funny stories here?
I'll be honest. I don't remember much.
Like, I don't know if I was traumatized, but I don't remember you as a baby.
I remember, because we were always four years apart, so we were never in high school together.
I don't know.
Like, what do you?
I remember we swam in the pool in the summer with dad.
Jump on the trampoline a lot.
jump on the trampoline a lot.
With our next door neighbors.
Can we talk about that?
Now kids with the trampoline have a netting around it.
We had a trampoline with no netting next to concrete.
So if you fell off, you were toast.
It's a miracle we didn't die.
No, it's so true.
And it was like, right, the amount of times we bumped into that fence and that splinters.
Or the concrete.
Or the concrete.
And it was like high off the ground.
You would die.
This is a big thing.
Because people, like, all of the way we grew up, we had threats and danger.
Yeah.
And kids now are so, so.
soft. I know, they're too soft. They got nets on their
trampolines. We don't.
Now, we have trampolines in the ground.
Oh, yeah. Those are nice.
No, come on. Like, where's, like, there's
no excitement. You need that four foot fall on
concrete. Yeah, you got to really teach it and break some
bones. So true. And diving boards, they don't
really do diving boards anymore. Oh, really?
One time, I don't know, you weren't there, but me
and dad were swimming and he jumped
on the diving board and it snapped and fell and hit him.
I've ever watched it.
That's such a mark thing.
That's such a dad thing.
The age gap is hard because my brother and I were five years apart and I don't remember much either.
Right. And we're different gender. So it's not like we like did the same stuff together.
Yeah. I don't have a lot of memories.
I went to a really nice private school and I went to a public school.
That's right. But honestly you you were built. You were built for public school.
No, I thrived. I loved it. Yeah. You were built for the streets.
I was. Honestly, I was.
Lana was an indoor cat. Yeah, I was an indoor cat. I remember the first time I told him what an emo kid was like in
He was like an emu.
He's like, we don't have any emus.
We had to wear a uniform, so you couldn't be anything.
You couldn't even have your hair past a certain length.
I'd walk into high school and there would be like blood on the ground.
Yeah.
We have a fight in the morning.
Okay.
Danny, you went to, you went to JJ Pierce and Richardson, Texas.
You're fine.
I did okay.
I was not fine, but they did have fights.
You made it sound like you went to like inner city school.
We did bus some kids in.
Okay.
She went to school with Jessica Simpson.
Jessica Simpson was there way before I was there, but yes.
She went to my high school.
Wow.
That's kind of what we're nervous.
Did actually go there?
No, because they moved before that.
Oh, so?
Yeah, yeah.
So do you remember anything else?
What do you remember?
Yeah, what do you remember?
I don't...
I remember you used to, like, tie lizards to ceiling fans and, like, let them fly.
Well, I had to do something.
I remember you were really into fireworks?
Yeah, we used to...
Oh, remember that one time we went and filmed it for YouTube?
We put all our fireworks in this big tub.
I had like $1,000 with the fireworks.
My whole savings was like 16.
We put in a tub, we lit on fire and ran away.
That was the whole YouTube video.
That's probably my only memory.
But I thought we had like in the middle of nowhere.
We just would go look.
That video did really well.
I remember you.
Played World of Warcraft.
You played a lot of computer games.
Wait, what did you play?
StarCraft?
Okay.
Sorry.
So different.
I did.
I did very different.
A lot of computer games.
I did that when I was a kid.
played baseball
you played a lot of Legos
loved Legos
very creative
wrote a lot
He didn't leave the house much
The uh
The
The
You started YouTube
I did YouTube
I did YouTube
I did YouTube
It was not a cool
Not something the kids
Were aspiring to do
My first video
I did a cover of Chocolate Rain
And I hid my face
And chocolate rain was this viral song
And everyone thought I was John Mayer
So it blew up
Because I hid my face
And like you couldn't really
see me? How old for you? Like 17. Are you, uh, you don't have to if this is like your
best cup secret. Can you tell people what you do? Yeah, what do you do for a living now? Actually,
people want to know that. They ask all the time. No, I mean, I feel like I do a little bit of
everything. I mean, we do real estate stuff. I have rentals that I manage and then, you know what I
want you to share. He doesn't like to share this. I know. No, let's believe it. Okay, okay,
it's because you want to protect your empire. Yeah. Yeah. That's fine. So I do a lot of online
work. And so like did YouTube stuff release music for years. A lot of my income is residual income from
songs I did. Like I have songs on playlist that still do well. And so that's been good. And then you
just launched the SaaS platform. Yeah. I do this site called price bell.co. So a lot of what we do on
Instagram is share Amazon finds. Like I'll share gadgets I like. Live will share outfits and beauty stuff.
And so like if you want to buy AirPods, you can put them into my site and it'll email your text
you whenever it gets to a certain price like the 30 day low or the yearly low. So I'm working on
that now. That's a new thing. That's a new thing I've been working on and then help live,
you know, she does stuff on Instagram. I help her with that. And I mean, our days are full.
We're not lacking things to do. You are your, how do you find your Amazon finds? Just trial and error.
So a lot of it just you found some things that I'm like, I find good stuff. He finds good.
Pretty good stuff.
If you like Amazon finds, my Instagram's at Landon underscore likes.
I do Amazon finds.
And it's all gadgets.
And people DM me,
be like, oh, this is so cool.
Like you got this for my husband or I got this for me.
It makes my life easier.
Because most of the influencers that do that are,
are females.
Yeah, a lot of people who do are females.
You know,
who's talked to you.
But it's a lot of like fashion finds.
Right.
Miles finds really good stuff,
but he doesn't have his own Instagram.
So there's a market for males looking for Amazon.
Yeah.
Like,
there's a couple.
I found these LED lights that are lit by the sun, solar power.
They go for your stairs or these fake landscaping bricks or I'll find like a phone mount for your,
hold your phone, like all kind of stuff.
And people like it.
I've only had two mean messages ever.
You know what the craziest thing is the double standard?
Like, I feel like they can order whatever they want from Amazon.
Boxes come in all day.
I order one thing and Danny's like, you're always ordering things from Amazon.
He is.
He orders expensive things.
So do you.
These are good things.
I found this TV.
Actually, no, even better,
I found these solar-powered rock speakers
that sit out in your yard.
They sound amazing.
You can daisy-chain them, blue tooth speakers, whatever.
What's daisy-chain?
Like, they connect.
You can connect 20 of them.
Okay.
And so half my job
between her clothing finds,
beauty finds, and my gadget
is just cutting up cardboard.
Like, that is half my day,
cutting up cardboard.
Yeah, it's true.
You want to know what I'm doing?
Probably cutting hard.
And we recycle it
because our bins won't fit at all.
It's crazy.
We put it all in the car
and then go.
cycle together on a Saturday.
It's something we do together every Saturday.
That's one thing we do together.
Cargoy. A lot of recycling.
And protest the data center.
No, what really gets to do about Jordan's Amazon orders, this is probably the most
annoying order he has is he buys his razors off of Amazon.
And it's a really nice, like, Gillette razor.
And then it comes with like 10 replacement heads.
And he always buys the same thing.
So I'm like, why are you buying the razor?
you just have to buy the replacement heads.
So he just ends up with a hundred razors.
You know, when it's like, that's why you bought that kit.
This is genuinely a twice of your purchase.
No, it's not.
I mean, I can, 10 razor blades will last me eight months.
So it's, this is what I'm saying.
This is crazy.
When it comes to the things we buy, they're memories like an elephant.
They don't forget.
It's so crazy.
He can't find something who'll buy it again.
And I'm like, why just buy it?
tell you why. I'll find it in the house. My time is better spent just doing a one hour delivery than
spending two hours looking for something. Exactly. I get that. I get that. That must be a female
thing though because like when I'm about to buy like a new shirt or a new sweater and my mom will be like
but you lost that north face that I got you in sixth grade. No it is. And like you can't know like 20 years
ago. Yeah. And she's like you can't buy another jacket because remember you lost that north face.
No it is. Honestly it wasn't even I didn't even lose it. It's Pilar stole it from us.
Yeah. Have you talked about that?
No.
We had a lot of very, I would say sweet, but they weren't sweet.
People who lived with us, who my mom would meet on the streets,
and they would live with us and babysit us.
In an exchange, we'd give them free housing.
They were our nannies.
They were living nannies.
My mom, there was not like a good system to find these people.
This is what I remember about our childhood.
Now it's coming back to me.
They all robbed us.
All of them.
And we always got blamed for losing our stuff.
No, it was them.
Pokemon cards.
One of them stole all my Pokemon cards and my Walkman
and then moved back to Peru.
No.
Took them.
I quit.
I lost the,
I lost all interest in Pokemon.
But did I tell you?
Remember my friend,
my twin friends,
Haley and Jennifer?
Yeah.
So I was having a sleepover one time.
And we were all sleeping in the movie room
or the playroom back,
back in the back of the house.
And I walked in to go get something
and I found her going through my friend's wallet,
stealing stuff.
And I literally found her.
And I acted like I didn't see her
and never told anybody.
Keep the peace.
I get it.
I was just like,
she lives with us.
Like, what am I going to do?
Like, I don't know.
She earned it.
She can keep the 20 bucks.
Yeah.
No, it was awful.
And then one time I think she knew that I was kind of onto her.
So, and I think like, because dad started leaving cash around and he would like draw a smiley face.
Or write his name on it.
Or write his name on it or sign it or something.
And then the cash would go missing.
And so then whenever we would ask her like, hey, did you steal it?
She'd be like, no.
And she'd pull up the money and it would have my dad's signature on it.
So obviously she did.
Anyways, she kind of, she knew that we were kind of on to her.
And one day, next to my bed, all the things that I had lost showed up again.
It was like my game boy.
I had like a little CD players, you know, back in the 90s, all the things that she put him back.
But I'm going to be honest, just being a part of y'all's family, for some reason I feel like this is really good for you all.
Yeah.
Because where you guys like really come together is when there's a problem to solve.
And I could see all at the dinner table being like, okay, listen, I'm going to write my name.
Danny, you plan it here.
And then when you finally catch them, you're like,
so they all robbed us.
There were probably 10 different ones you think growing up, maybe 15.
It was a bunch.
Yeah.
And there was only one that I believe never robbed us.
And there was only one that I feel like liked me more.
Potty.
So to this day, Potty, I don't know if you're out there.
I still think of you for me.
They all loved me.
Like they were.
They were obsessed with Danny.
But potty, she was mine.
It's because she gave you back scratches.
It was kind of weird.
She would jump with me on the trampoline on her shoulders next to the concrete.
And it was awesome.
At least if I go down, she's going down with me.
Like, she was awesome.
My favorite was Mali Elena.
You remember her?
She robbed me.
No, she probably did.
But also, she got robbed.
Her boyfriend came and literally took her from our house and took her to California.
Like, she just left one day.
That's traumatic.
No, I know.
I was five.
It was traumatic.
She was my favorite.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, we had a lot of live-in nannies that were illegal.
Ah, you know.
You know, what are you going to do?
What are you going to do?
Okay, let's see.
Next question.
Okay, these are quick hitter fun questions.
So these can be kind of fast, quicker pace.
Who in the family would last the longest on a reality TV show?
Liv, you answer.
You?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Or tornado.
You and tornado.
You and tornado.
You and tornado.
Who between Tornado and Danny would last longer?
Danny.
Yeah, I think.
Why?
I feel like you have.
like a lot of grit and you would just keep on like yeah I don't know I feel like you would
just roll with whatever's going on but they both do I was gonna say tornado's got some of that
too though I know it'd be it's a thin margin of who would last longer it depends if there's a cash
prize tornado 100 percent she'll step on dainty's net it's like a thousand dollar cash
prize I'm not leaving no I don't know that would get me going too then I don't know true
Okay. Which family member would survive the longest lost in the wilderness?
Okay, who would survive the longest in the wilderness?
Tornado. Not Landon. Not me. That's for sure.
Mark. He would last long as because he wouldn't be able to get out.
Yeah. He'd be stuck. Yeah, I agree with Tornado probably.
Tornado though. Yeah. So when I was a kid, anytime I got in trouble, we used to watch a lot of
Mari or it's like, you're the dad, you're not that. And one of the episodes was for troubled
teens. And so they would either send them to boot camp or wilderness camp. And she'd always be like,
anytime I got in trouble, she'd like, you're going to wilderness camp. And I'd like, no, there's no
amenities there. I can't do it. I remember this. She's still, do you know that she brought it up
yesterday? Oh, I believe it. With my kids. She was out of a wilderness camp. No, in the car on the way here.
No, in the car on the way here. Like, she still uses wilderness camp like as, and it's so funny,
because I actually voluntarily went to wilderness camp. Like, I went in camp. Yeah, I went. And
and backpacked in Colorado for a week with nothing.
Oh my gosh.
With who?
Like with church?
It was with young life.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We literally had to like dig a Biff or they call it a Biff, a bathroom in the forest floor,
Biff.
And like you really have to go potty in the forest floor and then come about like we cooked
all of our own meals, carried everything, backpack with like, you literally live with
what's on your back for like seven days.
Sleep with sleep under a tent with, you know, there could be mountain lions,
bears, whatever.
That's why you and Tornado are so tough.
Meanwhile, Laman wears bucket hats to the beach.
Yeah, I got to protect himself on the sun.
Hey, are there.
Survivor for the record.
Thank you.
Are there any Austin family rules that are, that seem crazy to outsiders?
We don't really have any rules.
Yeah, we didn't have a lot of rules.
Number one rule survive.
We didn't have, you know, we weren't bad kids except you were an outlaw.
You got an MIP minor possession.
Oh, I was 17.
One time.
But yeah, we didn't have a lot of crazy.
I think we had to do more I mean I not you I did do a lot more yard work than my friends
Yeah like and you went to like a really nice private school yeah because they hired people
But mom and dad would just make me go clean the pool and
Okay my friends parents were growing weed in their backyard okay well
Danny again once again went to a very rough high school you don't believe me but these things happen
Okay, who is I just thought of a crazy story who is most likely to start an argument
in the family group chat.
I don't respond to the group chat.
I leave the group chat.
I always leave.
Because our family group chats,
this is my favorite.
So dad will start family group chats
to send a stupid picture
that he thinks is funny.
No, it's all yesterday.
Or a picture of himself
with a fish that he says he caught.
I've never seen to catch a fish.
But he'll always do this,
but he'll include people
that we don't have their numbers saved.
And one of them was like,
hey, Mark, I don't know why I'm in your family group chat.
Like, I did painting for you
and this is my work number.
Can you get me out?
And then no one addresses him.
And then she's like,
that's a great looking fish.
It's like, this guy's like,
can I get out of the group chat and no one says anything?
And then like 10 messages down,
he's like, hey, can someone please remove me?
We just keep going.
We have a hard time with family group chats.
Who is the most competitive?
Paul, you?
Yeah, Danny.
Yeah, probably.
Like, yeah.
Okay, just move on from that.
I don't want to get my feelings.
You're all threes though, right?
Minus, I think so.
Wait, what is a three again?
Like a cheaper?
It's like we find our worth and our accomplishments.
Yeah, okay.
What are you?
I can see that.
I could see that.
I think I took it and I was like a seven.
Isn't that like the adventurous or something?
The sevens are the best.
It's easy going.
Oh, really?
Yeah, they say that the sevens are like the best to be married to, to be friends with.
They're easygoing.
They're all about living life.
Okay.
Living life.
Yeah.
As long as you're not an eight, I'm good.
Yeah.
are brutal what are the aides again they just love confrontation they want to get off on it like
they just want to get off on conference no they do they just like they want to feel about tension yeah
ugh hate it scary um what's the most nashville thing you guys do on a regular basis
most nashville i don't think we do a lot of nashville things i mean no we need to be better about
it loves country music we don't like go to shows or anything who's your favorite right now
This is so basic.
I love Morgan Wallen.
She loves Morgan Wall.
Yeah, no, it's great.
Yeah, it's great.
I feel like when you tell people that here, though, they...
Oh, they want, like, they want George Street or something?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
I like throwback country to you.
What about Illinois?
Oh, yeah.
I love her.
I'm obsessed with her right now.
I feel like she's, like, blowing up big right now.
Yeah, I love her.
Yeah.
Let's see.
Actually, this is a question.
Who would you freak out if you got to meet in real life?
I have to.
You met one of them.
Tony Romo.
Oh, yeah.
Old Dallas Cowboys quarterback.
I think that'd be amazing to meet him.
And my other's John Mayer.
Yeah.
Those are my two favorites.
I think it'd be cool to meet like Miranda Lambert or Carrie Underwood.
Cute.
What about you?
You're in that right place.
I love Theo Vaughan.
Oh, yeah.
I would love to meet Theo Vaughn.
I know I'm not allowed to tell you this because I've told you the story a million times,
but I went to a Vandy game and he was on the sidelines.
And he took your phone and took a phone.
Yes, I brought this is so cool. I think this is the cool thing. I've told a story a million times because I know she loves Theo. So I had my phone out, me and my buddies, and he knew we wanted a picture. So he grabbed my phone and said, hey, let's get a picture. Like he offered it. So nice, because he just knows that you're struggling with like when to ask. And we weren't being weird. We were just standing. I just had it out. I looked over at him. He just grabbed it. So many females have this like very special non-romantic, non-sexual. Brotherly. Yeah, attraction to Theophon. I get it. I've noticed that. I've noticed that.
I didn't know that that existed before.
It's the vulnerability.
Yeah.
And like y'all are like he's like a...
We just want the best for him.
Yes, exactly.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's crazy.
Oh, um...
I don't know.
I don't really have anyone that I'm like dying to meet.
I know.
Because I don't want to meet my heroes.
Last time you said pit bull.
I didn't say pit bull.
No, I think he made that joke.
No, you did.
Oh, that's a funny joke.
No, I don't want to meet a little.
No, I don't want to meet a little.
No, I was not being sad. I don't care to meet people.
Okay. Isn't it funny? We've met each other's, but we haven't.
Oh, that is funny. That's funny. Yeah.
We'll always have that on each other.
Yeah, we did on purpose. Yeah.
Okay, let's see. A couple more questions. Do you have any really hot takes at the moment?
What we were just talking about this. Okay, this is a dumb one, but it's something Liv and I feel very passionately about.
We both love watermelon. It's been like her craving since she got pregnant.
But the baby watermelons are 10 times better than the big ones.
Really?
They are.
The flavor's compacted.
We've eaten a lot of watermelons these past nine months.
So much watermelon.
I'm telling you, go baby.
Well, that's good to know they're easier to carry and cut.
Yes.
So much easier.
I don't think so.
I just get them from Target.
I like do a Target pickup.
Like five mini watermelons and go pick them up.
That's so good to know.
Okay, good.
There's so much better.
We eat a lot of watermelon in our house.
Yeah.
And there's no seeds in them either.
Do you know any eggs we eat on a day?
You're gonna guess.
Oh my gosh.
I mean, probably a lot because I eat a lot.
How many eggs?
Probably 16.
Probably 10 to 12 a day.
Do you have like an egg subscription or something?
You have a cart in a day.
No, you just have to go to the store multiple times.
That's why I want to get chickens, but you know in Brentwood, you can't have chickens.
Oh, you can't?
Really?
No, you're in the city.
Yeah.
Such a bummer.
That's why we have to go to Franklin.
But like, who's enforcing them?
I don't know.
I saw a chicken walking down my street.
You know one of the biggest reasons is because of the animals it could attract.
Like coyotes.
Probably the data centers and hurt their hearing.
Yes, exactly.
The point.
Okay, let's see.
What's something you're terrible at but still feel very confident about?
Sports.
I'm not very athletic, but I try and get out there.
I'm a terrible singer, but I'll sing at home.
Yeah.
Not in front of anyone, though.
Hot take.
Really?
Yeah.
Wait, do that?
No.
Why?
No, you're a great singer.
You're lying.
Okay.
Speaking of singing, can you tell us out of the other.
the Suno thing because that Puerto Rico song, I couldn't believe that that was a Suno song.
You know what Suno is, right?
It's like the AI songwriting.
Yeah, it writes, it produces, it does everything.
Yeah, we've used it before for, but not like legit, but we'll like use it for divvy stuff,
like funny stuff.
Yeah, I don't know that whole story, but one of my buddies works for Suno.
He like works there.
And he was telling him about the Puerto Rico.
I guess that guy is a travel guy.
Travel.
And he just made a song about it and the song popped off.
But Suno is surreal.
I mean, like, I made like a worship group on Spotify.
