Hey guys, welcome back to your favorite podcast. D. Wait, then you say it with us. Oh, okay. De-influenced. That sounded so much better with four people. So, funny story about this intro that we have is, so we just got back from North Carolina. We did a dibby dad's giveaway trip, okay?

And there were, I guess they were friends, right? Yeah. Okay. We ran into them the last night. Two lawyers, male, female. She comes and she's like, hey, I drove from Riley. Raleigh. Raleigh. Raleigh. I drove from Raleigh. I came to, I wanted to hang out the Dibby trip. So she came. We invited her into our circle.

This was the last night. So keep of mind, we're all sitting around kind of singing kumbaya. Like we're hanging out with our dads. We're reading our letters. All the dads are bawling. Like it's a really sweet moment. So she joins. She joins and she says, hey, love you guys, but your podcast's intro is cringy. She said every time I listen to your intro, I cringe, Danny. She said, Danny at the end of the sentence. No. I was like, oh, yeah, thanks.

We love her. We love her. She was actually sweet. She just wanted to be honest with us. And so it was just really good to invite you guys into the cringe with us. Yeah. So thanks for being a part of it. So now we're all cringy.

What is that like constructive criticism? Yeah. That's what they call it. Which part of the intro? Just what we just did. Okay, so now we're part of it. But we're in too deep. We can't change it.

We love it. So let me ask you all something. Do you think it's cringy? No. No, no, I don't think so. Thank you. Thank you, guys. That's why you're here.

That's why we like y'all. We're going to create a really nice echo chamber here. I also have to be careful. Actually, first of all, you guys got to introduce yourselves. So we are here with Devin and Hunter, Cordel. Yep. People always say Cordell. They'll say Cordell, Cordy.

I like Cordy. That was one of my nicknames like in high school. Cordy. That's a cool name in that. I like that. So, yeah, kind of introduce yourselves and what y'all do online. Yeah. Maybe share your Enneagram.

Okay. Oh, do you know? No, I do not. How do you all not know? Everybody asks us that and I'm like, I don't know. It must be a Texas thing because we all, like literally you meet people. You're like, hi, my name is Danny. I'm a three.

Okay. You just like, you know. I've done the test like a few years ago. And I remember like a six being on there? Oh, I did see that. Okay. See, I don't know any of those. Yeah.

I don't remember which I took it too, but I don't remember which one of mine was. I would guess we're going to take it later. You're not supposed to guess, though, because it can offend someone. I'm going to break the rules. I'm going to say two. We'll take it later. Really? I don't know what that means.

Servant, I'm going to take it. Okay. Good person. That's sweet. Helper. Yeah. Giving. Yes.

He's a leader, too. So maybe three. We'll talk about later. Okay. But yeah, okay. Introduce yourselves. Okay. Well, we are Devin and Hunter,

Coral, mostly known as the Coral family. On TikTok, we do TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, all the social media now. Yeah. We're from Alabama. Woo-hoo.

Real dad. Oh, no. Is y'all go to Alabama? No. No. No. Yeah. So we both grew up in the same town.

We went to different high schools. Okay. High school sweethearts. That's so sweet. Married right after high school. Yeah. Had our daughter like three years later. And then when I was pregnant, we started social media.

Wow. And we took off last year on TikTok. And then that's just everything from there has grown. That's crazy. So like what did y'all start posting? Okay. talk. So whenever I was pregnant, I just had a dream of being a YouTube vlogger. Yeah. Never did I think it would become a job or make money from it. It's just fun. Yeah. And so I was like, this would be a good time

to start documenting my pregnancy and give me something to do because at that time I had quit my job because I got pregnant during COVID. And so I was like, something to feel my time would just be to do that. I've always wanted to do that. Yeah. I did my tub was in the water, I guess. And so we started doing that on my iPhone. Like I was just filming, editing on Imovie. on my phone that never took off on YouTube. Yes, on YouTube. And we were also doing it for like Ivy to look back. It's like a scrapbook.

Yes, exactly. That's what I always saw people. Kind of like old school like home videos. We were just posting. Yeah, just so fun. Right. And in the back of our minds, we're like, if this ever become something that we could make a job.

Like, why not? Yeah, exactly. That'd be great. Exactly. And so, but it never became anything. And at that point, I was still not working. Connor was a firefighter. He was working a lot of overtime just to,

for us to make ends meet. And then I watched another. couple Matt and Abby yeah you know them and um love them they're great well I saw one of their TikToks and or no it was actually a YouTube shorts I think it was how they grew they started on YouTube shorts yeah I didn't know that I think that's wasn't I don't think YouTube shorts was a thing maybe not yet but they were they're posting on yes yeah so because I didn't have TikTok yet yeah so I saw one of their YouTube videos whichever it was and they said that they did YouTube for nine months and they're like and then they got TikTok and they blew them up and then that that

I was like, okay, maybe I need to get TikTok. Yeah. So I downloaded TikTok September two years ago. Wow. I started posting, I would call it cringy. Yeah. Mom content. Like I was doing a lot of voiceovers.

Love that. It was just, I can't go back and watch them. Yeah. They're still on our page, by the way. Yeah, they're not. Yeah. So like for four months, I was doing that. He wasn't really in the content because he was working all the time.

It gave me something to do. And then I grew about 25,000 followers on my own just by making the trendy videos. Yeah. And I was like, how do people get paid for this? Because I was, you know. And then January comes around. January of 2021. No, 2022.

This is so recent. So last year. So last year. So last January. Wow. Hunter was never in our videos, but he shaved his mustache. Okay. Came in the room and filmed my reaction to him, like, doing all these weird things with it.

And then I don't even know. We were like, why did we post those? Because that was not the content I posted. Yeah. posted them for some unknown reason and then they blew up and then that was the one and we're like always like the most random videos that you wouldn't expect and like you weren't planning on right yeah definitely and I was like I guess that's what people want to see and so I was like you've got to start being in the videos and people were just talking about our southern accents and I was like we have an

accent yeah you're like what yeah so then from there we grew we just started posting candid videos just like it wasn't us I mean it was just like it's just like living life yeah and for in a month from 25,000 followers to a million followers. Oh my gosh. Everybody was like, welcome to your new life. We're like, oh, my God. Did everything just change drastically after that? Yeah.

We were living with Hunter's mom at that point. Really? Because we had sold our house and we were like saving up to build. Yeah. And so we were living with my mom. Yeah. And when that all happened. Yeah.

So she witnessed it all. Yeah. So she's like, my babies are making it. Yeah. I know. Hollywood. I know. Wow.

And so we started getting emails from like managers, agencies. people wanted to do brand deals with us and we were like, what does this even mean? Exactly. So we met this lovely couple. We give them credit to this day, Alex and John. And they introduced us to our managers. We got lucky because we haven't ever had to change managers.

We just hit it off from them right from the start. And we went to L.A. We met them. We were like, okay. And they just pumped us up. They were like, yeah, if you want it, this is your new life. And we're like, what? Yeah.

How crazy. So were you still a firefighter? at the time. Okay, so when did you like realize, okay, I should probably, you know, do I want to transition? Do I want to keep doing what I'm doing? Like, is Devin going to be mainly in the content? Like, did you ever have those thoughts? Like, what are we going to do next? Yeah, definitely. So it came, like, sooner than I would have thought. Like, just a few months in, I was like, wow, like, this is really something that we could both be doing full time if that's what we wanted, you know? And so we talked about it, and we decided that it was. So anyway, long story short, I ended up leaving the fire department

in October. Okay. Very soon. Yes. So it was, what is that? Like 10 months of doing it and yeah. Wow.

Yeah. It took a lot of prayer because that was a hard decision. Yeah. Because we had great insurance. We had other benefits. And then it's like, you know, there's that fear of what if social media fails,

you know, or what if you're like trendy and then you're relevant for a year and then a year later nobody cares. Trust me, I still think about these things. No, yeah. And I've been doing this for 10 years.

And it's still to this day. I'm like, okay, like it's working now. But, like, I don't know in the next three months what it's going to look like. Right. Yeah. It's crazy.

Yeah. So it's been good, good decision? Oh, yeah. I asked him all the time, I'm like, do you miss the fire department? Are you happy? Yeah. Because that was my worry is that. That was his, like, thing.

He hung out with the bros there. Yeah. That was his outlet. Yeah. Wow. So I miss, like, parts of it. Sure. Of course.

Ultimately, you know, I'm glad that, you know, I'm able to stay home with Evan and Ivy and we're able to do things like this. Yeah, for sure. That's so fun. Okay. So, um, I know that. You used to put Ivy in your content, but not so much anymore. Yeah. We, it was like, we haven't even decided we're like, we're not putting her in there anymore.

It just kind of slowly happened, I guess. There was always a fear. Like, I just saw a lot of people be like, you're exploiting your child. And I'm like, I know we're not. Yeah. But it's just the web's mean. And I'm like, okay, well, maybe I shouldn't bring her in this. And so we just.

Do you feel like one, like YouTube, TikTok or Instagram, like one's meaner than the other? Yeah, I feel like TikTok. TikTok culture is vicious. That's the thing. Like, people that do TikTok, like, it is brutal out there. I don't know why I feel like. I think it's more vicious than Instagram. I do.

I would agree. I agree. I feel like Instagram, and maybe it's because I feel like we've kind of like built this community over time. And so, and people like, they come in, they hate for a little bit, but then they leave. I feel like TikTok, it's like, and I could be totally wrong, but at least our TikTok. No, you are totally right. Yeah.

No, dude, it's like, they're shameless. Yeah. It's almost like the culture of it. is just to like be mean, move on, be mean to the next post, move on. Oh, definitely. And there's so much, there's more anonymity to it because, like, they don't, like, I could go on TikTok right now, create an account with no proof of verification whatsoever. So you have, like, a ton of sock accounts.

Yeah. That could be, like, other creators who are just jealous of you? Like, who knows? Like, it doesn't, it's crazy. It doesn't seem like it makes sense. It does. Yeah. And I think you're exactly right.

It's because they have that move on feature. Yeah. Like Instagram, they're choosing to follow you. True. You know? And so I get, I think I'm liking that more now because it feels more personable. But with TikTok, you know, the, it's, we found the first few comments when we post a video are the nice ones. But then the longer it's on there, that's when people, you just pop up on there for you page.

And so they don't like you, they'll tell you, you know? So I just, they don't know you. And so they just feel like they can be mean to you, I guess. And then a lot of times it's like user 5, 4, 6, 7, 8. Yeah. Exactly. Like, who are you? Yeah.

It does seem like, you know, it, yeah, it's, it's been bizarre. Like, we don't even, we try not to, like, get on it too much because it's way more vicious than Instagram, for sure. Like, our, I mean, do you guys feel like, it's hard for me to understand how you guys would get hate because you're so wholesome and, like, not really, like, controversial whatsoever. So, like, what, what is it? Like, what, what are the main threads of, like, oh, we don't like you for this reason or this reason or this reason? And we all get it. So, like, we have it, too. So it's like.

Right. No, I think it's our personalities. They think I'm too much. You know, they comment on your parents and they, like we do. We don't talk about controversial topics or anything like that. We just want it to be a happy place. People say we're fake. They don't like, they think we're staging our videos.

I don't even know. Like someone, I'm like, Hunter, why do they feel like they have to say all this? It's crazy to me, like how many people take so much time out of their day just to comment about how much they don't like somebody. I'm like, can't you just? like scroll? Yeah. Or create all these fake accounts.

I'm like, that takes a lot of time. Definitely. But no, y'all are very tough for putting up with TikTok. How long have y'all been on TikTok? We've been on TikTok.

We've been on TikTok. We posted a lot. Mainly it was just taking our stories from Instagram because we've always been really heavy on Instagram stories. We did do the YouTube thing back in the day. But I started YouTube like 10 years ago.

and it's just like a totally different space now. And to be honest, it's hard. And so I don't really like YouTube. I like YouTube shorts, but I don't enjoy it as much as I used to. Maybe one day we'll go back to it. And so we just started taking all of our stories and posting those on TikTok. And maybe just putting like different text or like telling a different joke or something. And during the pandemic is whenever we grew a lot.

But then since it's not really our main focus, I feel like it kind of died out. Yeah. And then, so yeah, we mainly just focus on Instagram. Okay. Because I feel like that's kind of where we know you from. From Instagram? Yeah. And I didn't even know you'll have to TikTok until y'all's video popped it one day.

And it said follow back. And I literally, I was like, Hunter. My girl Danny Austin is following us on TikTok. No, I've been following you all for a while, I feel like. Yeah. I think I'll just pop. I think it was like maybe the mustache video. Yeah.

That popped up. That just went so viral. How many views does that have? Oh, gosh. I don't know now. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. It used to be pinned to the top because I was like, that's what's got to do.

But now I don't even know. Yeah. It blew up. Okay, so before we get into more, should we do our two, too, too. So we plan this. We want to do two truths in a lie to get to know each other. Who should start? I think Hunter.

Do you remember you? Hunter was over in the corner. The real star. The real star here. So what do you start with, the truth? No, you can't tell us. You can't tell us. Oh, right.

Yeah. You just say three. Three things about yourselves and then we have to guess what the lie is. Okay. I'm going to try not to make a face because I don't know. Yeah. He's like, he's like, yeah. Yeah, okay.

All right. So I have once won a hot dog eating contest like at our local fair. I owned seven vehicles and I'm only 25. And I have delivered babies. That one's definitely true. That one's true. Firefighter. Delivering babies.

Always be delivering. That was a bad one. Seven. Seven. vehicles, I don't think so. I actually am going to say the, I believe that. I'm going to say the hot dogs was the lie. Yeah, that, yeah, I would say hot dog too.

Which is it? Yeah, you got it. Yeah. Like, I don't know about that one. Dang, I do like hot dogs. Wait, so how did you get seven cars before 25? Well, so my parents bought me my first truck, and we actually got like a long story short, we got a really good deal on it.

So then I ended up like kind of trading up, you know? Yeah. And then it just kind of spiraled downhill from there. So you're a car guy. Yeah. It's his hobby. Yeah. All trucks?

I've had all six of them have been trucks and one of them was a car. What kind of car? Mustang. Okay. He's trying to buy it. What color? Black. Was it, does it convertible?

No. That was always my dream car. Was it like, did you like soup up the engine or anything? Not the engine, but appearance stuff. Yeah. Are you that guy that has the really loud car? The Mustang was really. loud, but I have never had like a really loud

I really want to understand. I've wanted to meet a loud car guy before because I want to understand the culture of it because for... Like why? Truly why. Like I'm not knocking it. I know it's a culture but is it like the louder your car like the more

attention from the car community you get? Kind of like if I hear a loud car on the road like I'd definitely turn around and look. Yeah. But I'm looking to see because most of the time, depending on what it sounds like I like it and I want to see what it is. But not necessarily, like mine was like a performance, you know, performance parts is what made. Performance like exhaust makes it louder, you know.

I heard, so Natalie Kennedy's has been works on like performance cars. And I asked him this question. I was like, when did that start? And he actually said that most of it started taking off when the Fast and the Furious movies came out. Is that true? Oh, I have no idea. Yeah. He said when the first Fast and the Furious movie came out, that's when you started hearing and seeing a lot more loud cars.

Yeah. It's also when you would see like these beat up like Honda Civics like with like the huge like mufflers or whatever. Yeah, I believe it. Yeah, I believe that. You love those movies. Yeah. But I was always like, can we turn it down? Are you still?

Did you watch the newest one? I haven't seen like since like fast seven. I don't know because I was in it for the car. So when they swapped to like working for the government, you know, I'm like, that's really funny. That is really, really funny. You actually had one more car than you're telling them. Oh, Thunderbirds. Oh, yeah.

Thunderbird? Yeah. Color. It was black. And a convertible. Those are cool cars. Yeah. So what do you drive now?

Just a F-150. Yeah, pretty basic. But I like it, so. Yeah. It's a good dad car. Yeah, right? That's actually, like, this game is helpful. I feel like I really got to me.

Yeah. Okay. Your turn. Oh, gosh. Okay, let me think. I forgot mine. Oh, great. No, I remember.

I did too, actually. It's okay. Take your time. All right. I've been to Haiti four times. I have. eight siblings. I make nine.

And I'm related to Dolly Parton, like, way down the line. Oh, these are so good. I think you have eight siblings. I think you've been to Haiti on mission trips. And I think the Dolly Parton thinks bull crap. What do you think, Danny? Where's Dolly Parton from? Tennessee.

Yeah. Are you from Tennessee? No. But from the South, girl. Mm-hmm. I think you've been to Haiti five times. Oh, that's good. She changed the number.

Yeah. That's good. So do I tell my? Yeah. What's the lie? The lie was Dolly Parton. I just love Dolly Parton. So you're the ninth child.

That's wild. Okay. So two of them are step. Okay. But still. Yeah. That's a lot. So, yeah.

We have a big blended family. So where do you rank? Kind of in the middle. No, I mean, like, how much do your parents like you can bring? Oh, yeah. I think I always, since I am in the middle, my older sisters, they would always be the, if they got in trouble, I learned from them, like, of what not to do. Yeah.

So I think that's why I was always the good girl. Yeah. So I'm scared. So what is like the typical middle child syndrome? Like what do they say about middle children? They say they're, I guess, what more rebellious or whatever? Do you fit it? No, I don't.

No. My other sister definitely fit it in high school. Now she grew out of it, but we used to say that about her. Yeah. Love her. So are your siblings in the content ever? My sister that you'll meet today is. Oh, yeah, she's watching.

Her and her husband kind of started TikTok a little bit after us. And then, so she kind of is, and now she helps me out with social media. Gotcha. So she's more so in the content than anybody else. That's such a big family. That's like a reality TV show. Yeah. Yeah.

That's wild. Gosh. Do you feel like you're also like trying to drag your people into like the TikTok, this world? I feel like I'm always trying to do that with my friends or my mom. I'm like, come on, come join us. I think because I know what it can bring and they, in that it is a blessing. And so I feel like I'm always like, if you want to do it, you should do it. Yeah.

She definitely encourages like all of her friends. I always try to encourage. Yeah. That's so cool. Yeah. I love. You're good people. I love you guys.

I love you guys already. I know. I love y'all. I feel like we've already didn't meet just today. Okay. Okay. I remember mine too. I can't react, I forgot. I know everything about this person.

Do you though? Okay. I don't know the story. She told this, she said that she has the most embarrassing story that she's ever experienced. And she says the one thing I don't know about her. I'll never tell. Oh, wait. Really?

The only people that know. out on my small group in college. Oh my gosh. Because I just had to tell them because I had to vent to someone. But it's so bad. Yeah. I'll never tell them. I'll never tell them.

She like teased us all in North Carolina and I was like, there's something I don't know. It must be really, really bad. Yeah. Okay. So number one, I set the record of my high school for the 400 meter dash. Number two, I was in a country western swing dance team. number three

I won the backstroke I was number one backstroke in the state for swimming you were on the swim team me too girl really yeah

okay I think the swimming thing is a lot I think so too just because you I delivered it's a little bit I was like what is the backstroke it was the delivery

you weren't on the swim team right no I was I know. I know your face too. When she said that, you were like, I can't lie. I can't lie. Yeah.

No, no swimming. Very bad at swimming, actually. Do you guys like to dance? No. I mean, with friends and stuff, not like, we don't do TikTok dances for real. Oh, yeah. Yeah. You know.

Yeah. That era is over, right? Yeah. It is over. It was a good era. Yeah. We weren't there when that was happening. Oh, that's right.

Because it's after. Yeah, two years after. Can I tell a really cute story about Jordan? So when TikTok became a thing, you know, it was like all dancing. And that was probably during the pandemic, right? Yeah, I think so. Oh, this is horrible. This is a horrible story.

It's not cute. So, you know, we're doing YouTube, we're doing Instagram, and we realize we're like, hey, we've like, we got to innovate. Like, we got to become these TikTokers. Like, we need to learn how to dance. So Jordan started taking hip hop classes. Nice. By him, that's great.

Hold on. It's deeper than this. So, listen, there's a genre of movie that I love. Okay? True. It's break dancing movies. It's not, like, don't show me step up one, which is ballet. Like, I'm not into it.

Step up two, step up three when they go to the streets, I'm in. That's funny. Stomp the yard, amazing. What's another one? Drumline, which is not really a dancing movie, but like I'm into it, you know? They do do like the clapping thing. Yeah, so I love those movies. So there's always been this alter ego side of me that wants to love dancing.

It's like this part of me that wants to come out. And I just have never been able to bring him out. Bring him out. Bring him out. Yeah. And so I took hip hop lessons from a guy named Phil. I found him on Thumbtack. You want to show us what you learned?

No, no, no. He did too much. How long did you do it? So I didn't tell Danny. That was another weird thing because I'm like, it's Thursday. at four o'clock. Like, why is he always gone Thursdays at four? And I,

because I wanted to, like, master it and then come back and her to be like, whoa. He'll have a recital. And let me just tell you, it did not work out. It did not work out. That's one thing about it.

But Phil was a good guy. He was like, this, this, he was like, he was always like, you've got promised. You've got potential son. It's like, good. No, literally he, You showed me one time.

He learned like a basic eight count. Like, yeah. But I love it. Yeah. That's funny. So it didn't work out. No,

it didn't work out. That's why we're still on Instagram. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So we never, we never made the jump over to TikTok well. It was tough.

But yeah, that's one thing about us. We don't have a lot of rhythm. No. No, but she really was like a champion swing dancer. That's amazing. Babe,

not a champion. Yeah, you were a champion in the state of Texas. A champion in my heart. Her videos are insane, though. They're on YouTube still, no? I don't know. So there are only four schools in the state of Texas

that have a country western swing dance team. Wow. And my high school was one of them. It was basically all the girls that didn't make the cheer team, cheer squad. Yeah. And then all the football players

because they just wanted like this credit. Like you just dance with girls the whole hour. Like, why not? And so, so yeah, we would like compete against each other, but there were only four schools. So it wasn't that intense. That's cool.

You were a front runner in the state. That's cool. Okay, you guys ready to get to know me? Okay. My first special teams, so I never made the A team football team, but I made the B team, and I was on special teams, which is where they put the not good people. But my first appearance on special teams, I caught a kickoff return and I ran it for 90 yards. Is that good?

Well, yeah, the whole field's 100. 100, yeah. So number two is one time I had a panic attack from eating too many fruit snacks. Number three, why are you laughing? Hunter's like... Hunter's like this guy. I'm just wondering, like, if that's a lot, like, that's pretty creative. Number three is in the spring 2014 catalog for Dillards, I was one of their male models.

What year? 2014. So you would have been in college? I would have been post college. I kind of believe that. Thank you. I have to say the fruit snacks. What do you think, Hunter?

I don't know. I'm going to go with the fruit snacks, too. No, that's true. What? And it was last year. It was last year I ate too many fruit snacks, and we were in Florida with friends, and my friend had to call an ambit.

because I started having a panic attack. Truly, like it actually was fruit snacks. Because you're a firefighter, you probably saw a lot of things that weren't fruit snacks. But I was also in a, like, I don't, I'm a routine guy. Like, I was, I had a child at the time and it was like, I was hanging out with like J.D. So the guy you met, I was hanging out with Jady and a couple of his friends. They weren't married yet.

They were still single. And so I was like, oh, I'll go on like a fun guy's trip. I'm not like a guy's trip kind of guy. And so I was outside. Yeah. I didn't have my routine. And so I just panicked. But also not to take this too deep.

I think I was getting. a lot of hate that day. She was. We were in a hate storm. We were in a hate storm. Yeah. And I was by myself. A lot of socks.

I was stressed about a lot of things, but I do think that the fruit snacks sent me over the edge. Oh, wow. Very nice. Yeah. So, wait, what was the lie? The lie was that I was a male model. Oh. Yeah.

I was like, that was a good one because they can't. That was sweet. They can't guess that one because then they would offend you. Yeah. That's true. They were like, oh, this is awkward. The male model lies. That's true.

exactly that was a fun game i like that yeah that was fun yeah what is um so going back to you know the fruit snack story do you have any crazy stories as a fire fire i mean you delivered babies yes that's wild did you deliver your baby um no i mean i cut the cord but thankfully i thought i was going to have to like the doctor was like really last minute and it was just me and like two nurses in there until they hit the panic button and so then they all come storming in And I'm like, man, I might actually have to, like, do this again. Oh, that's crazy. Yeah.

So at least he had practiced before. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, what is your craziest firefighter story? Let me think of something like PG. Oh, no, no, no. No. It's okay.

It's okay. There's no. Yeah, you can tell us. Give us the tea. All right, we'll do it. So probably the baby one, what'd you say? I think from what you told me. Yeah.

I mean, there's a lot, but one of the first baby, actually, that I was helping deliver. I wasn't a paramedic yet. So I was just kind of like the bag, the bad guy, you know. Yeah. So anyway, so we walk in and this lady was like on all fours on the bed, baby, baby breach. So legs out. Oh, no.

It was like halfway out. And do they teach you how to do that if it's breach? Yes, they did. Okay. Yeah. But I mean, you know, it's still one of those like freaked out moments. Yeah. You don't know until you actually do it.

But there was a dog on the bed with her. And it was like. What? The baby's alive, by the way. Yeah, yeah. The baby's a lot. Yeah, baby's good. It's all good.

But the dog's like licking the baby as it was hanging out kind of thing. Oh my God. But so then, yeah, so there was that. And then we managed to get the baby out the rest of the way. And it wasn't breathing, actually. So they, so we did CPR and everything on it. Did you do CPR? I personally didn't.

It was the paramedics. Yeah, we had two paramedics with us that day. That's crazy. And I had like only been, we call it all. online like when you go on shift um after you're training and everything um i hadn't been on shift for like like a month yeah and i was like i'm back crazy yeah yeah so yeah so yeah but yeah he's good now and everything's good but it was great why didn't she go to the hospital it just came really fast yeah yeah it just came really fast and yeah that actually just happened to my girlfriend she just had

her baby in her car. Yeah, and he is not a firefighter, but he delivered. But they called 911 and they walked them through how to do it. And they drove her phone. And he had to take his shoelaces off to clamp the cord. Wow. I've never heard that. Yeah.

Yeah, he did that. And then they ended up, oh, actually at first, they couldn't, I guess they couldn't cut the cord. And so, and she couldn't hold the baby. So they had to put the seat warmers on and just put the baby on the seat warm. Wow. That's smart. The seat warmer thing.

This girl is so tough. She said that she started feeling contractions, but was like, no, I want to do my hair and makeup and, like, waded out. And then they got in the car and he looked over and the head was like literally out. Oh my gosh. And she couldn't tell. She's tough.

I'm like, how can you not tell? I was like, ah. I would not handle that well. One of our best friends just had her baby over the tullet. And her husband is a firefighter just recently became a firefighter. So he caught the baby. The baby. Those are like,

Those are like rapid deliveries or like wrap where they just like within an hour. Yeah. Oh, that's so scary. Okay. So you went from, you know, that kind of world. Now you all are working to, what's it like working together? That's, this is what I want to get into. This is what we want to know.

We've been doing it for years. I want to know. See, we should be like, give us advice and. No, truly, how has it been? Like, can we start with Hunter? Yeah. Because like I feel like when I left my job and I jumped into this world, like, you know, I think y'all are a little bit different because you all have created like a family.

account, but, you know, for me, it was like I was jumping into the Danny Austin world. At the time, now we're kind of like 50, 50. But at the time, it was like all, it was fashion blogging, you know, so it was like all back in the day with the outfits and, you know, the sales, try on halls. So there was not much value that I could have added to that, honestly. Well, I need someone to take my picture. But, so you go from like a very, I would say prestigious, like job. Like, there's a lot of respecting it, you know, and now you're on TikTok, like, how has it been for you specifically, First Hunter? Yeah.

It's been different, obviously, but I've enjoyed it, like I said earlier. But the, I don't know, in a way, I still kind of, like, view myself as that. Firefighter? Yeah. I mean, obviously not, like, I don't do that, so. Yeah. But I still love it, you know, I still love, like, the culture, everything I was able to do and everything I learned, you know, I.

And I'm thankful for that. But it's good to, you know, anybody that could stay home like this, I'm sure probably would take that opportunity. So, yeah, so I've enjoyed it. I do miss, like, the guys hanging out with the guys, the adrenaline factor because I'm a big adrenaline junkie. So, yeah, so I had to, I, before I left, I actually came up with something that I'm like,

okay, this is what I'm going to do to fill these. I don't want to say, call them voids, but, you know, something that me, personally I feel like I need to be the best me for them you know so so I got that and so yeah it's been fun what is yeah what riding dirt bikes so I grew up riding dirt bikes no way riding racing dirt bikes yeah so I'm kind of back in that world now and and yeah that's it's perfect for me that I get to stay home with them and do that as my fun fun guy adventure thing so yeah hunter have you ever played paintball I was gonna ask him actually yeah only like twice my whole life

Probably when you're younger. Yes. Let me tell you something. Adult paintball is next level. How long are you staying in town? Let me show you around. That I totally get what you're saying because I needed that, especially after two kids. Like I think with one, you know, I was like, okay, I don't need a hobby.

With two, I was like, okay, I've got to find something outside of, you know, just for me, right? And I don't like golf, which is hilarious because we just went to a whole golf trip. But I was like, I'll play. I'm just, I don't love it. You're pretty good. I was like, okay, but like I don't love it. I needed that adrenaline rush. I really feel like we should play paintball together.

Yeah, I'm down. Okay, cool. I'll plan it. I'll get on your schedule with your managers. Okay. So like what does a typical day look like? And you guys do have, you have management that you said that you really love.

Are y'all doing much of the business side of anything or just more like creative all day? No, we, Basically, like, our managers do get the Brandeils lined up for us and kind of the execution and just keep us on like a timeline. So from there, we just do the creative. But Hunter is the business side. He took that role over like finances, just kind of planning out strategies, I guess, for not creative strategies. I think I do that.

But I don't know. More like the business side. Yeah, that makes sense. He pays the paperwork. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Because I think sometimes people think if you have a.

manager that everything do everything for you but you still have to run the business right yeah and i think that's what people they're like oh y'all stay home you'll just have all this free time and really even even though we stay home sometimes we have to get somebody to watch ivy because i don't want her just to see us on our phones all day yeah because yeah we'll film a video but then there's the editing there's the behind the scenes of the creative for brand deals and that there's a lot more to it than what meets the i i guess you could say but working together we we've done really well like obviously we'll have our days where if he knows I'm having an off day, he won't record me. Yeah.

Or sometimes I'm just like, I just don't feel like video like today. Yeah. He gets it. He knows he can read me. Yeah. It's kind of good. I try my best. Yeah.

It kind of takes a while to get into that rhythm to understand each other. Like sometimes because Jordan films a lot too. And there's some days that he's like, oh, okay, nope, we're not filming today. Not today. It's not the day. And it's really hard to not to like force it. So we just don't do it. So do you feel like y'all work well together?

I would say so. I think we do. Now, if he didn't go do his thing, ride dirt bites, I feel like he would not be able to, I don't know, like you said, you need that. Yeah, it's like an outlet, you know, and it allows me to, as silly as it may sound, like just going and doing something, you know,

like what we were just talking about. It allows me to be like my full self and give this a full effort, you know. Totally. I get that because even on on Saturdays when Jordan goes and plays because we're together all the time. And so whenever he goes and plays on Saturdays like some of my friends are like, oh my gosh, I can't believe that. Like y'all are, you know, he goes and does. I'm like, no, no, no.

I love that he has his own thing because it's different. Like most couples don't work together 24-7. I'm like, no, this is good for us. Yeah. Yeah. Even like you having like time with just the kids one-on-one, like you love that because we're just always together. I think that that's what, you know, when COVID hit for most people, you know, most couples ended up working in their homes together and they were like,

I'm going to kill them, you know? And we're like, oh, this is like every day for us. Right. Just locked up. There's like a lot of blessings, I think, for the marriage, like working together too. Like it's hard for, it's not for everyone. But like I think if you guys are fit for it, like I think that we are and it seems like you guys are too, you're able to like work through like just simple marriage conflicts that everyone goes through a lot easier it feels like because you just have to. You know, it's like we're going to wake up next to each other. and we're going to have to work together tomorrow. And so you expedite a lot of, like, problem solving, it feels like.

And I feel like it works for couples that, like, I really respect Jordan and I respect what he does. And I know what he's good at. And then he respects where I'm at. And so we don't, like, try to step on each other's toes. You know, it's like, oh, I know Jordan's good at that. I'm going to, like, trust him and just let him roll, you know. What are some of, like, the common conflicts? What do you all fight about?

Probably. Give us the change. I'm trying to think of what the most. is because it depends on the day. Like some days we do work really well together because like you said, it's not for everybody. And I feel like that's the one thing people ask us all the time is like, what's it like at home all the time?

Because he went from leaving me for 24 hours every other day, basically, to be at home all the time. Honestly, I think parenting with Ivy in the mix if she's like home with us. Yeah, it's not that we have like different parenting styles, because we're actually pretty similar parenting styles, I think. But having her as like, if we're trying to get something done as like an added,

I don't want to, you know, it kind of sounds bad to say this, but like stress her. Yeah. That's why we have to have, like, we really try to have like a set schedule of like a babysitter. So we know like just say Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, we can get all these things done that we need to do. Because it makes it really hard if she's there because she's not a very independent player. She always wants one of us, you know, or both of us. so we are constantly juggling that back and forth like you know you play with her while I do this you play with her while I do that yeah so there's conflict if we're like well I really need to get this

done but I need to get this done too and so it just go back and forth all that I hey you're preaching in the choir we totally get it I think it's hard for the outside world to understand hey this is a job like and it's like a nine to five job just like anything else but we totally get it that's why we my aunt Brenda has helped us for funny to hear you say aunt Brenda no I've never never said Aunt Brenda. Brenda, my aunt, has basically become our nanny for that reason because even when the kids

are here, you just feel bad. I don't not explain it. It's like you're you have to do this like this is your job, but they don't understand that. They're like wait, why are we all here and you're not paying attention to me? So it's wild.

I know. I'm glad to be able to relate to people on that. And I think we've become friends with a lot of other parents that do social media and just related like being relatable because I do feel guilty a lot. Yeah. And then, you know, people will make you feel bad. And so it's nice to hear other people go through it too, you know. What about like creatively? Like do you, are you guys like, I would say some of the harder days for us is like when we're creatively not aligned. It's like I have this idea. She has this

idea. And then we're like there's just like unspoken conflict because we're not on the same page. like do you guys and it I would say it typically this is very nuanced very niche conversation but like it usually comes when there's a brand deal too it's like oh because like no one likes filming brand deals like it's like it's part of the business but like no one likes it you know it's not like great I'm so excited because you know your audience is like not like probably going to like it but you have to do it well it's just work like there's a difference between posting I feel like videos of your everyday. And it's not that you don't like the brand.

It's just work. You have to do it. There's like a contract and you're like, all right, we have to get this done. So it just kind of takes a little bit of fun out of it. But do you all ever struggle like being on different creative pages, meaning like I,

it'd be like here's the example for us. So we'll start with vulnerability. Like I will film, I will film Danny and I'll be like, I'm like hoping that she'll be in this one Danny mode that like I know. Right. And then Danny's like maybe having an off day or she's like, Or he's like filming like up my nose and I'm like,

this is the worst angle ever. Or she's like doing her makeup and she's like, I literally just like need a minute, you know? And so like do y'all ever struggle creatively with y'all's content? Yeah. You want to speak on that? Yeah, I would love to. I would love to.

He's like I've been looking for this platform. So honestly, Devin is most of the creative. Yeah. Like I'm not very creative like at all, not just with videos and social media. So she kind of has the ideas and sometimes she can relate. that like if she tells me an idea like I'm all on board then I can like kind of build off of it but

it's hard for me to get that base foundation of like this is what we're going to do so sometimes she's good at relaying that message and sometimes she's not you're just like it my mind and then I have expectations yeah right oh the expectations honestly like the biggest problem I guess you could say is if we're filming a brand deal where it's like kind of scripted like we have like you know talking points or whatever that we're supposed to say that is is 100% the biggest problem. Yes. Because Devin is like,

all of our videos are, like all of our, well, most of our organic videos are like candid, like off the stuff, you know, we very rarely like set up a skid or whatever. Yeah.

Right. So for whatever reason, Devin just cannot say a script. She just can't do it. Like it's impossible. Like, even yesterday, there was like a two-sentence thing that we had to save or filming,

and she films it like 15 times. And I'm like, just say it. Hunter, line, line, line. Because, like, if she's like, I'm trying to think of what to say, just say those chairs over there, she's like, so we got these chairs from wherever. She's like, so we got the, yeah, every time. I'm like, you still, like, she will cut off.

She would like turn, the sentence is fine. And then she's just like, thinks that she messed it up. I don't know. Like I've. And are you, are you, this is, again, super niche, but are you holding the camera when she's trying to film? Sometimes. Or, like, on a tripod, if we're both in the.

Yeah. the shot. It makes it hard. And then she's like, I just need you to know. Like, I'm not your wife right now. We're working together. I have to tell him that. Because the expectation is on me.

Like, I'm the one that's mostly doing the brand deals or that has to say the script. And so if I feel like he's not filling me, you know, I'm like, I just need you to understand, you know, sympathize with me a little bit because I just can't do it. And then I get frustrated with myself. And then if I feel like, he's like, baby, you don't have to. to be this upset about this. I'm like, you don't understand. Oh my gosh. I like feel so seen in this conversation. Like, because it's like, it's like it makes, it used to make me feel very powerless. Because like as the husband, you like want to be building up your wife and you want to be supportive, but there's nothing that we can do. It's like so on the performance of y'all sometimes. It's like,

they don't want to hear the brand deal for me. Like if I could just like, okay, the chairs are from Walmart. This is the this. The price point. But like, like, they don't. don't want to hear that. They would send the feedback back and be like, can Danny send, can Danny say that stuff? And so. But the hardest part too is I think that like we're not actors. Like, you know, we're not, um, used to doing things like that. Like if everything is candid, then you perform like in a different type of way whenever you're doing a brand deal, you know. And so and it just feels just like not natural. Yeah. You know. So I'm the same way. I still film brand like literally. I did one yesterday. I, I think I filmed it 17 times. Yeah.

And then I went and deleted everything because I'm so embarrassed if someone picks up my phone. They're going to see like 17 different tries of the same thing over and over. And then the first one is always the best one. If you ever look at them. But no, I get it. It's tough. Yeah. There's these like awkward moments where it's like,

Dany's like filming a brand deal. And, you know, she wants me there at the start. And then she'll be like, can you just leave? And then I'll leave the room. And she's like, okay, I feel better. Like sometimes it's like she needs to be alone. You know, it's just so nuanced. Or when people are watching you feel.

I'm a brand deal. That's just the worst. Oh, yeah. I hate when the best are like when they just are like, this is what kind of what we want, but we trust you. You do it. Because then you can be more candid. You can be more organic. And like those are our favorite, my favorite, because I don't have to read a script. I feel like, you're hard. I feel like y'all came in at like the perfect time. Because 10 years ago when I started doing brand deals, brands didn't really get that. Like, you know, they used you more as like, here's a script, say this exact thing. So the brand deals were just so cringy. It was so obvious. And they were very strict and everything had to be approved like multiple times.

So by the time you're posting something, it was filmed like three weeks ago. And so people are like, I can tell this is an ad. Now I feel like with brands, they don't even like ask for approval. They're just like, yeah, just go live whenever. So I want to ask you all this. So like you guys have built kind of a brand on TikTok, right? And you're sweet people. You're from Alabama.

They love your accents. Like they love probably that you're believers. Like this is your core audience, not your haters. They don't count. But like, you know, you kind of created this like persona. And I would say like we struggle with this too where it's like, you know, the content that you're putting out, the expectation, whether it's from the audience or from ourselves, like is do that every day. Right. And sometimes you don't feel like that.

So do you guys like struggle with the pressure to perform and to like keep up that? I don't want to say image because you guys are very clearly like real people. But do you get what I'm saying? No, totally. Yeah, I feel like for sure. We always, I think when we, what I'm trying to say, you want to take over? My mind's like jumbled right now. You're like, I have so many things to say. Take your time. Take your time. We can always cut. We'll always censor it. Yeah. So I think Devin fills the majority of that pressure because, you know, 90% of the time she is like just the way you see online. That's her normal self. But, you know, sometimes she may be having a bad day or for whatever

a reason and then that's when she struggles with you know meeting people if we're in you know Walmart or whatever yeah so okay i think i know what i'm saying now okay so based on that like with the video sense i don't feel the pressure to keep it up because like if i'm having a bad day we just won't film yeah now if i had to if i was like for like doing a brand deal you know then i'm like oh gosh i hope i'm coming across okay even though i'm not feeling it yeah um i feel the pressure when i meet people because most of the time, you know, I can carry a conversation and I love meeting people. But if I'm having a bad day because we're human and sometimes my flesh takes over and I'm just sad or not as cheerful. And so if I meet people, I get in my head, I'm like, I hope I didn't disappoint them that they're not meeting who they thought they would meet.

We're the same person. Yeah, I'm pretty sure y'all are the same person. It's actually pretty weird. That's what stresses me out the most. Same, yeah. And then I asked Hunter, I'm like, was I okay? Did I do okay? Do you think that they're going to like go be like,

Devin's so different, you know? Because we have had a few people. Well, not really, but Hunter or saw a comment before, be like, I just saw them in a restaurant and they were like fighting. And I'm like, okay, you just made that up. Yeah. Or maybe we were fighting because we're human and we're not perfect. Yeah.

And because we've had people like take videos of us before. And it gets me in my head. I'm like, what if they're catching us in a bad moment? Even though it's okay because we are human, but it's the fear of just not. I totally really. to that and it kind of makes you anxious to go places. Yeah. And you're like, and because I'm the same way. Like whenever I, and I love meeting people and I want to be able to like pour out and give as much as I can.

But I remember especially postpartum, like I, for months, I just like was not feeling myself. And so anytime I meet people, same thing, Twarden, was I nice to them or do they think I mean? And it's really tough. I feel like it made me even more anxious and then it's like a vicious cycle, you know? Literally same. Yeah. Did you, how was postpartum for you? I went through postpartum before. depression for a few months, I feel like, or maybe I had to get on anxiety medicine just to help, like, so I could think normal. But we, at that time, we were kind of like shut in our house because it was the year of COVID too. And so I feel like that just didn't help. And then I got diagnosed with diabetes. So it was just like a lot of things stacked on each other. Yeah. And then plus

the TikTok, like having people watch your life. Like that's a whole other element of just like things that cause anxiety. Yeah, same. Yeah, it seems like it's like with Danny in particular, and I don't know if you'd agree with this, but it's like on days that she feels off, like what I read on the situation is that she feels an expectation that like I need to be on.

And then like knowing that she's off, it's like I'm trying to get back there, but then that creates like it almost compounds the anxiety because she knows that she's like here, she should be here. and then it just like sinks you deeper. And then it's like this just crazy kind of downward spiral. And I think that one of the things that's hard about being a creator is like feeling the grace to be human and just to turn it off for a day.

And I think I don't know, are you guys like big on Instagram stories? Do you post a lot on Instagram stories? I started too. Yeah. So yeah. So I would say, you know, with TikTok, like I think that you can just not post that day. And I don't know what the algorithm is like or like if you guys feel a pressure to post every day. with Instagram stories, I would say that that's one of been, that's been one of the biggest

blessings and curses to our family in the sense that like it's such a beautiful platform where we've been able to like allow for people to get to know us and we love creating the content there. But it's a curse because, you know, I would, I mean, I think that we didn't have bubbles posted yesterday and that was probably the first time in like six years that we went dark, but we were exhausted. And we've had to learn our own boundaries of like not pushing through that. And just like, it's almost like that's our Sabbath. It's being like, hey, like, God, you've got this. Like, it's going to be okay.

Like, we don't have to perform 24-7. And I think focusing, too, like, I think the days that I feel most anxious about performing or meeting people is when I am thinking it's so much more about me instead of being like, okay, you know, God put me here for a reason. I'm running into these people for a reason. Like, I don't have to be perfect. And, like, this is more about him and our mission. and like our message and what we're trying to do.

It's not about Danny. Like, who cares? You know. And so I feel like whenever I can, of course, though, like he said, my flesh takes over in days I'm like, oh, everybody hates me. And I'm just stressed out. But I feel like whenever, when I'm able to put it into perspective, it's so much easier. Oh, for sure. You know.

Yeah. When you know it's about him and not about us and glorifying him and not glorifying myself, glorifying myself, I'm like, oh, the weight comes off. Like we've already won. Like it's okay. Like who, you know, who. But also so hard to do when all the affirmation is flowing into your DMs, into your comments. And it is like the world is making it about Devin and Danny.

But like so it's a really nice thought. But I will say as like a creator, it's really, really hard to overcome that and to, that's why we've posted and ghosted more. It's like it doesn't matter what good or bad you're saying about us. It almost like just as humans, like it warps our brain to make it more about us, you know? Like we're not meant to be worshiped. No. Like humans aren't.

We're not meant to be. I was even, I've talked about this often, but like, have you seen Taylor Swift in concert yet? No, I have no. Okay. I don't know if you're a T. Swift fan, but. Are you? Not really. Like, I mean, I like her.

This is the most controversial part of the podcast. Oh my gosh. I'm not like a Swifty. Yeah. Wow, what are you? Do you love Beyonce? She's like, yeah, I don't even think I'm a music person for a real. Wait, okay, can I ask you all a question?

Yeah. I was thinking about this in the car on the way home from the gym. Do you guys like Kenny Chesney? Wait, why are you asking that? No, that's not who I said. I don't like. Who did you say to like? I'm not going to say that.

Come on. Is it a country, Morgan Wallen? Listen, the likelihood that they are listening to this podcast is slim to none. Yeah, that is true. What song was I seen? It was Daddy's little girl. Yeah. It's Tim a girl.

Tim McGraw. That's okay. I don't even know him. But like, so. Well, I know who he is. Friday Night Lights. Yeah. From the movies.

So the reason I'm out. asking is I honestly thought we were going to like vibe on this because I'm entering into I didn't even tell you this yet I'm I'm entering into my Kenny Chesney era. What? Okay. So yeah I can yeah I like that I mean I and which is so crazy because we actually went to that we saw him but I was like who is this guy I was like I don't really know I was just there for the people but let me tell you something Kenny Chesney don't sleep on him he is incredible the reason I'm laughing is because Jordan doesn't like anything mainstream, usually, unless I do. So, like, if I played Taylor Swift or Morgan Wallen or whoever, then he kind of gets on board.

I'm a post-mainstreamer. So, like, I like things after it gets popular. But he likes, like, folk music, like sad music, you know, like folk, yeah, walk in. Like, he's like, you like sad music? I love sad music. I'll send you a playlist. I'll be so happy. And I'm just like, I just want to be sad for a second.

Yeah. But yeah, let me tell you, Kenny Chesney, we'll experience them together. Did you discover Kanichesney or rediscover. Summertime, the song? Holy crap. I mean, that, it's, it's timeless. Yeah, it is. I mean, I'm not a guy that imagines myself on a boat.

Right. Just with like, like, friends and beers and American flags. And I'm like, this guy is America. Is that summertime? Yeah. And then American kids, I'm like, it's timeless. I'm just, I cannot believe that you are. You probably know a lot of them.

Or I think I know. that song, I just don't know artist will or titles to songs. Yeah, I forget them all too. I'll send you a playlist of sad songs and I'll send you Kenny Chesney playlist. Yes. And then I'll send you a K-pop playlist. Okay. Oh, God. Love it. Please don't. He loves K-pop too. You all know what K-pop is. Yeah. Like BTS. Hunter, do you like K-pop? No, I mean. He's like in a gym like. No. No. It's okay. I'll send you guys some stuff. But anyway, what were we were talking? We were about to go deep on something. Oh, I was talking about Taylor Swift.

Anyway, my point was, oh, yeah, at the concert, I just remember when she comes out on stage and everyone is like screaming, going wild for her. I can't explain it, but like, I almost felt like bad. Like it was like, because I don't know where Taylor Swift is at in her life or what she believes or whatever. But it just like, it felt like too much. And I'm like, I feel even whenever she's on stage, there's this point where she, everyone's screaming for her, you know, going wild. And then she, like, raises up her arms and she's, like, basically, like, taking on in all this energy, is talking about how she feels so powerful. And it's almost like she felt like, like, it was like a, like a God moment, you know,

where she, and it kind of scared me. I don't know why I brought this point up, but it was, she's not pha-dantic. Oh my gosh, all those TikToks that pop up that are like, yeah. I'm like, okay, but you can kind of make like anything. Any thing. Like, yeah. Like there's like a triangle on the microphone. You're like, this is satanic.

Yeah. Oh, I did like one picture. I was holding a disco ball over my eye, like just a cute can of picture. People were saying I was part of some cult. I was like, I was just putting a disco ball over my mind. I can't even tell you. Which cult? Oh, man.

Oh, should we play the game? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Okay. I have some questions. Are TikTokers nice? All the ones we've met. Yeah. We've met some of having been really good friends.

Bryce Hall. Jordan wants to know. No, I have not. I heard about him on one of your podcast now. Yeah, yeah. He's cool. Yeah, we're friends. No, I'm just kidding. We're not friends. It was a really funny story of how I ended up there. Do you have any favorite TikTokers that you want to meet? Yeah. That's a good question. You want to meet. Or just like, you know, people you followed for forever. Well, there's this one couple. I've actually just discovered them recently. Savannah and Josh, they just had their second baby. They're so cute, so sweet. We've actually started doing interview style TikToks. I saw that. Yeah, what's the deal with this? They inspired us to do it because they do, she was. was pregnant so he was interviewing her um and i was like that's just so fun because you can see your

personality more yeah it's not really yeah yeah it's not scripted like you just go for it exactly so i would love to meet them but they live like way up north yeah where do they live i can't even tell you i have no remember okay yeah so like north in alabama or like north in united states oh way up by washington maybe oh okay yeah car car yeah okay um i'm trying to think of somebody else we would love to meet or like do you remember who you first started following. Oh, you said that. Not on TikTok, though. You know. Yeah. Is that true, though? No, yes. I feel like.

Evan has been talking about Danny for, I don't know. Like, me and all my friends, we just love Danny. And so, because you're just like relatable, you're like, you're like an online bestie, you know? Yeah. Even though you didn't know us. And so when I told my friends, I sent them the screenshot about you ask us to come on the podcast. They were just as excited as I was.

You know? Oh, they're like, I love her. Yeah. Oh, so sweet. I mean, but that just shows like your character, like, Jesus does shine through you and by y'all's fruits. And I just respect y'all a lot and just how y'all go about things and are just so humble and a people person.

We feel the same about y'all. Thank you. Yeah, we really do. I mean, like, totally different. Like, we're not as big on TikTok as you guys are, but, like, we really appreciate the mission that you guys are carrying out. I think it's super important. And I would say it's a little bit harsher of a battleground than Instagram.

Yeah. You keep fighting the good battle. Gen Z, they're shameless. I'm telling you. Their mental health has got to be down because they are not happy. I don't know. I feel like we're just like in a bad TikTok loop, you know? We're on dark talk.

Yeah, we're on dark talk. Maybe. Because some people like love it and have like great community on there. I know for the most part I would say our community is good. Yeah. We haven't like I don't read about us online. Yeah. I've had friends send me stuff before on Reddit and I'm like just don't send me that.

Yeah. Why would they send that? That's rude. And so, yeah, so I just like, that side I keep out now because I know how it affects me. Yes, it's, it hurts. Yes. We're just human. That was actually one thing that we put in our, in our vows, not like actually publicly,

but like when we got married, we promised each other that we would not read our online hate. Because when we were dating, it wasn't Reddit at the time. There were like all these other forums and stuff. We used to read all of that. Oh, tell them about your big, your big, no idea. Oh, I can't. Well, it's, I mean, I can't. I don't think we're going to actually do it though.

But just tell them it's funny. Hey, I thought this would be so interesting. I thought it would be a good social experiment, but then I didn't really know how to go about doing it without hurting people's feelings. But I really wanted to give away this free trip to the five people in my DMs that are meanest to me. Wait.

Is that good? Wait, that's a great idea. It would be so interesting to watch, but you know for a fact they're probably really nice in your life. Oh, for sure. Because like anytime I reply to them, they're like, oh, I'm sorry, I was just having a bad day. But it would be so interesting to understand their psyche behind like what they're doing. Like why?

Like why? Why? Yeah. And then like get to know them. And like sit in a circle and just heal? And just heal. Wait, Danny, that is a great idea. Thank you.

I thought it would be so interesting. But then I was like, I don't know how to, you know, put this out there without hurting their feelings by being like, y'all are the five minutes people to me. Right. Yeah. They'd have to agree. Yeah. But then maybe they would, if they agreed, then they'd be like extreme haters and maybe it wouldn't go well. Yeah.

You know. Yeah, we might not make it back from this trip. Yeah. It could just be like an anonymous. They wear a mask the whole time. Be a blessing to them. Yeah. And that's my motto sometimes is just like, kill them unkindness is such a real thing, but it's also biblical, you know?

Like, just love your enemies. Yeah. We've been talking about like spiritual warfare a lot these days because it's like so. real and it's like it's been really interesting for us to kind of like perceive what's going on in like culture in an America and like just in like families homes like as like true spiritual warfare of like there is like good and evil and I'm not saying like mean people to us are evil I'm just saying that like it's just really it's been really hard to forgive a lot of the people who have been mean and but we've seen so much like strength and power in it and it's like you know

The idea of reconciliation across the board is like only going to come from just like forgiving people and loving people and being kind of them. Yeah, for sure. That's good, babe. I like it. Thanks. I'll drop the mic. You don't play the game? Let's play the game.

One more game. One more game. And then we'll explain some other things. Okay. So we know that you, people love the accent. We did too. It's the most adorable thing I've ever heard. And I told Jordan, I was like, I, because you know, like when I hang out with people that have an accent,

then I start talking like them. Yeah. So I need to not. So if I do that, I told Jordan to pinch me. Is it really that Southern though? Do I sound Southern? You sound Southern. It's not offensive.

Not offensive. It makes me feel because like I said, when we first started TikTok, I'm like, wait, do we have an accent? So that's why I ask people, do I sound Southern? Yeah, you do. I guess I just can't hear myself. But it's not offensive. No, no, no, yeah.

I don't take it offensive. It's the best. Like some people are like, I'm sorry. I hope you. I'm like, no. I like I love it. I wish I had one. Actually, if you ever go back and why.

watch my first YouTube. I'm literally like, hey, y'all, my name is Danny Austin and welcome back to my, like, I was so, I think I talked that way whenever I'm nervous. Yeah. Right. I did. Anyway, so we have some pictures printed out on these cards, and we're going to have you pronounce what you see. Okay. Should we do both of y'all? Yes. Yes. Devon is a lot worse than me, but I don't know. Your is pretty strong too. I would actually have said the opposite. It's like the way, it's like the way she says certain words. Certain words? Yeah. Okay. You ready? Just like off the cuff.

Correct. Yeah. Caramel. Caramel. Caramel. That's just interesting because I say caramel. You say caramel? We say caramel.

We say caramel. Caramel. There's an extra A in there. Caramel. Caramel. Caramel. Interessante. This is so funny.

Pajamas. That's good. Pajamas. Yeah. That's English. Oh, this is a good one. A drawer. Droar.

Droar. Droar. His is a little more southern. Dore. Okay This is fine This is what it is You say what that is

I mean Like a spicket or a faucet I don't know A faucet I like spicket Spicket Spicket What would you have said

I'd said Fossett Yeah I think Fossett Okay Oh Apparently this was one Hammy Down Hammy Downs Did you really think

It was Hammy Downs? Yes Wait so you thought it was like Ham EY Downs. Hammy Downs. What did you think? I thought it was hand me downs, but I would have said

hammy downs. So J.D., who's on our team, thought it was hand me downs too. Yeah. We had to teach him yesterday. Yeah. He's from East Texas. It makes sense. It makes sense. That is funny that J.D. doesn't have an accent. He's from East Texas. I think he's worked really hard. He's worked really. To convince

us that he's from the city. Okay, we're running two more. Picture. Picture. Picture. Picture. picture. Picture. Picture. I would have said, yeah. Picture.

Picture. Okay. Two more. Two more? Okay. A buggy. What? A buggy.

What? It's a shopping cart just so the audience knows. What is a buggy? It's a buggy. It's a buggy. So wait, you're telling me if I come to Alabama, everyone says, can you get, that's, that's not a shopping cart person. That's a buggy guy.

Yeah. Unless they're not from there. Yeah. Yeah. But pretty much everybody says buggy. So interesting. I've never heard that before. That is cool.

I like that. Oh, this is good one. Okay. this is the last one. We literally had this conversation the other day. See, okay, what would you say? Does I say something different? I mean, a lot of times we refer to all of them as Coke.

Yeah, I get that. But I don't. I say a Coke, Pepsi Sprite. Or I mean, but if I was like soda. Soda. Not pop. Pop is like north. Yeah.

Up at north they say pop. I do the same. Yeah. Because I'm not like, I want soda. Yeah. I want Dr. Pepper. Well, see, like if you're like, Say we were like downstairs in the kitchen.

Yeah. And I wanted a soda. I would probably say like, do you have like any Coke or something? Yeah. Saying like, do you have any soda? And then I could bring you a Pepsi, but it's all fine. You're right. Okay.

See, I would say, do you have any soda? Like if I, but I, yeah. Yeah, be specific. Wow. I feel you. I got you. Okay. I have, I circled, we're running long in time, but I circled three questions that I really wanted to know from you guys.

So I've heard y'all say that your polar opposites. How would you describe each other? Oh, that's a good question. I would describe Hunter as like an introvert and oh gosh what are like some words to describe somebody I need like a list he's very I don't know how to say that Devin is interesting she's like an she's like an introverted extrovert like she wants to talk to people but it's funny she Like, she, if something is like on a busy street, she won't go there by herself because she doesn't want to, like, park her car and get out and people that are driving down the road, she thinks they're looking at her and, like, judging her.

That's Devin's things. Like, when people see her, even before TikTok and everything. Right. Yeah. Everybody's looking at me, like, judging me. But, like, if she were to start talking to that person and they were being nice to her, oh, she's all over it. Right. You know.

Which is ironic now that we're in the spotlight. Yeah. Yeah. Because I'm like, now people really are looking. Yeah. They really are judging me. Yeah. Right.

Yeah. He's an introvert, but he is very, like, people think he might come across rude, but that's just because he's, like, straight face. Yeah. It does take a little bit to, like, open up, open him up. Yeah. Yeah. But.

Who's funnier? Maybe. Well, Hunter actually could be hilarious that, like, his side that people don't see a lot. Yeah. Would you all see more of his personality? Yeah. Oh, we're going to get it out of him there. Yeah.

And everything. But he gets goofy. That's it. Yeah. Probably just in front of you, though. And in close friends. Yeah. In close friends.

Yeah. I would say Jordan also can get really goofy whenever we're. You can get silly. He can get silly. Yeah. But it takes a lot. He would not be silly in front of like people, our friends. Or our parents.

Or our parents. No. For some reason with your parents, Jordan just goes like stone cold. It's weird. It's weird. I'm seeing a therapist. We'll talk about it later. Okay.

Who's more nurturing in the relationship? Yep. I mean, I think the initial answer is Devin, obviously, but he nurtures me. Yeah. Yeah. That's so true. So, like, for y'all's daughter, like, is there, like a disciplinarian and the nurturer? I feel like I'd be the nurturer.

Yeah. Okay. She's just a mama's girl. Yeah. So sweet. Are you guys, who's more routine and then who is more, um, what's the word? Spontaneous. Oh, spontaneous.

I feel like I'm more routine. Or more structured. Yeah. I like the routine. It makes me feel more productive, but I'm on it. I think I'm more spontaneous too. Like I would be like, yeah, let's go. Let's do that.

Yeah. It's like routine is good for you, but I like thrive off being just off the cuff. Yeah. Okay. Three last small questions. Will y'all always live in Alabama? And is there anywhere else you'd move? Hmm.

Good question. It's kind of your brand now. They're like, yeah, Dallas, Texas. I know. We're like, it's beautiful here. I just, it's hot. You know what? Guys, listen.

We won't be able to say this on the next podcast. I got to say it. What? People in North Carolina are the nicest people I've ever met in my life. I don't know if it's like that in Alabama. Yeah. But I mean, they take southern like Texas hospitality to a whole different level. I mean, every single person we met wanted to make small talk.

They like want to know what's going on. It's like. Yes. Yeah. They're so nice. They were like, should we move here? It's just the South, man. The South, man.

Because I will say I felt different about Atlanta when we went. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Atlanta's a little different. Elena's different than Alabama. We're not as nice. No. It's very busy.

They were just not even happy to be there. Yeah, that's, yeah. Yeah. Not the same. So if we would ever move from Alabama, we would, I mean, especially if we feel like led to, but right now we're like comfortable. Honestly, like if all of the social media stuff would have happened to us before we had Ivy, we probably would have moved somewhere.

Like maybe even if it was like temporary and then move back like for family help with her. But now. I don't know. Yeah, but never say never. Yeah. You never know. Okay. Any fun future plans or projects?

Oh. So we are actually wanting to start a brand, which you can't really say what it is. We'll tell you all off. But yeah, so that's exciting. We're just praying about it and waiting for the timeline to. Cool. I know. Awesome.

Yeah. So two very rapid fire questions. as part of the future plans or projects, are you guys wanting to have eight children? Negative. Okay, so you like experience that you're like, whoa, too much. So like one, two. We might have maybe have another one. We go back and forth every month.

They're like, okay, well, I think we want another one. And then the next one, we're like, eh, maybe not. How many siblings do you have, Hunter? I have one half brother. Okay. And he's 10 years older than me. Oh, so pretty much. So you were kind of an only child.

Okay. Okay. Last rapid fire question, this is an important one. Okay, Hunter, you wear these sunglasses. Where can we get them? No, no, no, listen. It's not just Hunter. It's all the cool TikTok guys.

They're all wearing these sun. Do you know which ones I'm talking about? The ones that I wear. The orange shades. I don't know if these are like your thing or not. Or is it from riding bikes? Yeah, like a lot of people in the dirt bike world wear those. What brand is it?

They're Oakleys. Oakley. It's all Oakley's? All Oakley's. So every single person that is wearing these shades of sunglasses is all Oakley's. Yeah, I'm sure there's other brands that like make a similar frame, but probably 95% of those are Oakley's. So it's not all TikTokers. It's people that.

No, I've only seen cool TikTok and I say, this is a column it, cool TikTok guys wearing those sunglasses. It's a whole vibe because it looks like my paintball mask, like the reflection, but it's like sunglasses. Okay, cool. Send it. I thought they were ski. girls at first time he was not wearing them. You can probably wear those skiing. You want to do our outro?

Yeah. Okay. Where can people find you? TikTok, Instagram, YouTube. What's your TikTok? TikTok's the Coral family, Hunter and Devin'Rourdle. Okay. One of those.

Instagram. I'm Devin at Devin'ncordle. Okay. I'm at hunter. Dot, cordal, I think. Yeah, I think so. And then YouTube, we're Hunter and Devin'Endtel. Perfect.

Yeah. How often do you upload on YouTube? We try to do twice a week. Oh, that's a lot. Yeah. Oh, y'all are. busy. Y'all are busy.

Do you all edit your own videos? No. I used to. And then I was like, I can't. That is brutal editing YouTube videos. Yeah, I cannot. Good for y'all. Okay, so y'all know where to find them.

Thank you guys for listening. If you want, you can leave a review on Apple or, you know, give us a five star in Spotify. We'd really appreciate that. Unless it's from a sock account, and then you can just go away. Then you can go away. But we love you guys, and we'll talk to all later. Bye. Bye.

Bye.
