The following podcast is a dear media production. Hello, welcome back to your favorite podcast. D-influenced. I just found out Jordan is in a secret group chat without me of Divi employees. Well, it's like not all Divi employees. It's my special forces team. Well, not only. My Delta team.

Not only that. He named the group chat winner circle after my favorite song that I always used for my pump-up song. It's true. That I played before. I played in the Celebrity MLB game. It's actually pretty. And it doesn't cuss. We're back the basis.

It's so positive. It is a very positive song. It's a very positive song. Yeah. I'm a winner. Well, I stole it from you. And now every... And then you named the chat.

And now every Friday we have a winner circle meeting. It's 30 minutes. And everyone gets to say their successes, but also their failures because I've created a culture where failure is okay as long as you're taking good risk. That is beautiful. A great leader. You're a great leader. I'm a great follower.

Actually, I'm a great independent. Don't tell me what to do. No. If you tell Danny what to do, it's over. You have to manipulate her to make her believe it's her idea. Like, for example, leave the garage door open for two months and let birds come in and plant nest so that Danny, when she wants to work out, gets inspired to clean it all on her own without you having to ask her to it. Yeah, or one would say, like, Danny has a mishap in the lakehouse bathroom. And then she then is like, we need a plunger or poopery in every bathroom.

We, this is like. I think I won the debate in the comments. Dreden, no, you didn't win. Okay. Because we're not doing it. Another thing about Danny is she can never accept an L. No, I can't. I, too, I did accept the L's, like when I got mad about the Nannet stand that you ordered.

I was so mad at Jordan because... You literally said, well, I'm usually right. I did. But I was wrong that time. I told you. I was so upset. This is like a story within a story within a story. But I was so upset about this.

We needed another nanette stand and he ordered this big box that I was like, Jordan, you ordered a whole other nanette system. I was like, feel how heavy this is. This is not just the stand. I was like, return it right now. And he's like, this is just a stand. I'm like, Jordan, look at this. It says camera not included.

And I was like, oh, you were right. Sorry. So the, after our debate about the plungers, this is what happened on Tuesday of this week. So after you got mad at me about ordering the plungers for every bathroom, I get a text at 239. Babe, please don't put these in the bathrooms. The stainless steel is so tacky and ugly. It feels like you're at a cheap Mexican restaurant. None of the finishes are stainless steel, so it's really tacky and ugly and gross.

need to return these or I'm going to throw them away. They're disgusting because she saw the Amazon order that I just was like, she's wrong. I'm right. I'm going to order them. And she'll never know. Hold on. Hold on. Wait, can I just say? He ordered heavy duty plunger stainless steel with a black handle and it comes in a set with a toilet brush on one side and the plunger on the other side. It's like something you would walk in and see at six flags because it's like industrial. Well, while we're at it, I think I should show you the new branding I have for the Ramirez Ranchita or Lakehouse. It's also not called the remainder. Well, I got the branding done, so here it is.

Let me see. I wanted to show you this live because I knew if I didn't, it would probably turn into a fight, but you kind of have a better attitude. So I thought it was like really fun. Right? Stivy colors. No. Well, be nice because someone that we know did this, but off of my direction. Well, can I see it?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, that one's fun. That was fun. And while she's looking and reviewing the branding, so I was at Merritt Coffee this morning and Danny, you'll never believe this. It's so good that the things I talk about on this podcast people care about. It looks like the Brady Blanche. Yeah, that's the fun part of it.

It's kind of fun, right? But I was at Merritt this morning and I was ordering coffee. Listen, are you listening? Can I give my input on this? Well, let me talk about this first. So I was at Merritt coffee this morning. you know, I was at the cashier. They were there. The producers were there. And some lady came out to me and was like, oh my gosh, I was just listening to your podcast about these cups. And she was like, they really are such good cups. And we just sat there and we talked about the cups. And I go, hey, do you want to know who manufactures them? Because I can tell you. And the employees were just dumbfounded. They were like, who is this guy who kept asking about the cups? But she cared. Where are the cups manufactured?

It's called graphic packaging. Shout out, if anyone works there, I would love a lower minimum order quantity than 100,000. But I would love to put the Ramirez Ranchita branding on this particular cup. It's an eco-friendly cup, which I care about, the environment. But what about the fact that most people are drinking, like, sodas, things that need ice? Like, I'm thinking it's diaphragm cups. Those are on my list, too. but I haven't gotten to my favorite one of those.

I'm going to all the restaurants in Lakewood and I'm testing the styrofoam. What about just like the Chick-fil-A styrofoam cup? You know, everybody loves that. Oh, that's a good one. That's a great idea. I'm very open to your influence. Are you open to my influence? It's hard to say.

Yeah, the answer is no. And because you're not open to my influence, this is why I go around you. Okay. That's fair. The thing is, though, we, the, I think what's hard for me is I've told you since day one, I didn't want to name it, the Ramirez Rantita, because it had no Latin Spanish, Hispanic, like look to it. Like, it looks like a cottage, like that's in the Northeast. We are the Latin influence in the lake house. But our house.

Like our family. No, I know. We are fluent in Spanish minus me. looks like a cottage, not a ranchita. I know, but here's the problem. It's kind of like we have these really nice bathrooms with stainless steel plunders. You know, it's like, it's just not really matching like the vibe. But here's the problem sometimes with you is that you might be right.

No, I know that I am. But, but then what's the solution? You're such a like, this is the wrong thing. And then I'm like, okay, well, what do you think? And then you're like, I don't know. I'll think about it. And then you always forget to think about it. Well, what about like the Ramirez Cottage?

That has a boring ace name, if you ask me. But sure. But I just feel like the branding should also go along with like the Northeast vibe. Like I would say this is giving very like, it's more modern, contemporary. But like I think we need like a serif font like with, you know what I mean? Like classier. For sure. Because that's like the vibe of the home.

It's like it gives Nantucket. It gives like, you know, like nautical vibes. This is like so giving vibes of when we first started Divi because it's like you're here's the thing about you and I'll say this publicly. You're a genius. You really are a genius. But to bring your genius out is a very excruciating process. But you haven't even sat down and tried to collaborate with me. You really haven't.

That's true. My, my. You haven't sat down and been like, let's think of a name or like let's throw things out. you just go around me and then do it. And then I get upset because it's my lake house too. I'm a very bad collaborator. And I really care about the cups in our house. And I really care that they're styrofoam because I like to have ice in my drink.

No, I don't want to drink Coke from a paper cup. Okay. I understand. We'll talk about this later. But point is, is that the comments really understood the thoughtfulness that went into my design of the bathrooms with the poopery and the plungers. Okay.

I get it, but like, here's the other thing. I'm cool with the poopery. I just didn't want that branding. I want it in like a pretty glass bottle. Yeah, yeah, okay. We'll figure it out. We're going to, we're going to collaborate. It's just, like, fun.

It's like little things, like, details that are fun to add to your house and make it, like, your own personality. I know. We'll figure it out. I just don't want seamless deal. I know. You really, I came home from my walk after this really charged text thread. I was also on my period. I know, that's why I was messing with you.

I was so done with this period. I was like, you know what? I'm going scorched her. I was like, I'm done tiptoeing around this period, walking on eggshells. It's like, I'm dead ass. Well, there's a new pope. Yeah. Was the conclave televised?

Like, was there a lot of news coverage on the process of the conclave? How long did the conclave? conclave last. Because, you know, if you watch the movie, the conclave, which I recommended on the last podcast. You did love that one. It's a great one. I wonder what the longest conclave in history has been. Will you chat GPT? Yes, of course. Why did Trump post a picture of him like Yeah, AI Trump Pope? Like, what was that whole thing about? I don't really know. I think the White House is really leaning into meme culture on their socials. I mean, I'm not, like, I'm not Catholic, but I feel like that would kind of be a little bit disrespectful.

Like, I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, probably. I don't know. I just, I just feel like it's like not a good look. Yeah, it's tough because you have, you have people who understand meme culture and then you have people who don't. And the people who don't are very confused. For sure.

I think it's like, just don't go with like nothing religion related. Yeah. Just like, don't go there. You know? It's just like, people. away from that. Yeah. Especially around Easter time. What's the longest conclave? Three years. No, that can't be. That's for real. Like, they couldn't agree on a pope. In the year 168 to 1271. In 2003 years, a thousand days. In Bitterbo, Italy. What, what, uh, how long did this

conclave last? Two days. Whoa, they were really united on that. They knew what they wanted. The Holy Spirit was moving and grooving. It was like Chicago. Chicago and he's like the first American Pope, right? Yeah. Yeah. What do we know about him? I said, L.A.'s text, I said, new Pope, congrats. And the confetti went on. So like Catholics today are celebrating this new Pope? Okay. On the scale of liberal, conservative, moderate, where does he fall? Because wasn't Pope, the previous Pope, like a little bit more liberal? The scriptures are, you know. We've got another lib pope. Yeah.

We love it. I think. I don't know. Not Catholic. Yeah. So that's big news. What else is going on? I don't know.

Honestly, I've had a really busy week. What's you've been up to? Well, we're looking for some new executives for Divi. So I was like a lot of interviews, a lot of conversations. Yesterday I was at Parkhouse which is like the Dallas Soho house But I was there for nine hours

They literally cheered when I left Did you know that? I told, did I tell you this? Yeah. The ladies downstairs. No, I really, it's really kind of been haunting me why they were clapping when I was leaving And I think the joke was that I had been there for nine hours

Because they were like so proud of you or like truly get out of here? No, I think it was like I overstayed my welcome Because I went from like an interview to dinner and then I was just like hanging out with some friends there. But yeah, it was kind of weird. It's really haunted me. The other thing that haunted me was that when one of the executives came from out of town, Teresa from our team, our divvy team was there. And she, the lady who was from out of town was like, oh my gosh.

Like this is like such a Dallas place because it is. It's kind of like a vibey, trendy, you know, hoity-toity place. And I was like, I know, this is like so Dallas. And then Teresa goes, Jordan, like, you're so Dallas. You're so Dallas. And it was hard on me because in my mind, I'm not. You're so Dallas. I always tell everybody.

But I think I am. I've really thought about it a lot. You're very Dallas. I always tell everybody that I'm like, Jordan is more Dallas than I am. For sure. Wait, so what makes me so Dallas? You do all the Dallas things. You hang with all the Dallas people.

You hang out. You like are part of these like prominent, you know all these prominent people that are important people in Dallas. Like you hang with those people. But I always thought like I was like the, you know, business owners. Like I don't leave my house. I just clean my garage, you know. But I just thought I was like on the fringe of it. Like it's like, oh.

Yeah, you are. But that's so Dallas. This Austinite is just like, you know, trapped in Dallas. Like that's kind of how I saw myself. But then you also, like, go to all the Dallas-y places. Like, you're out of bat. You're, like, walk white rock. You go to your coffee shop every day.

I'm so dull. You go to a park house. You're a hobby air. This is your fault. We could have stayed in Austin. You converted me. Oh my gosh. You know I would move to Austin in, like, a heartbeat.

I know. No, you're very Dallas. Are you very Dallas? I think I can be. Like, I'll put it on. Like, I'm like, I can be a Dallas gal if you want my two. Yeah. But I don't think it's in my soul.

Yeah. I'm like a, and I'm not even a wannabe. I'm like a try hard. Yeah, no, for sure. Like I'm like, oh, I have to be a Dallas girl today. Okay, I'll like slap myself a couple times. And I'm like, get it together. Go put on your David German.

You know? Another big. So this, so yeah, my week was kind of boring. Like I didn't get to like read anything interesting or do anything. Like usually I come to this podcast. We read out the Iranian conflict. We did. Well, so let's tell the whole story.

So Danny. Like, this is so interesting. Danny is so close to becoming red-pilled. What does that mean again? You know, like in The Matrix, when he's like, Neo, do you- For some reason, when you say Red Pelt, the only thing I can think about is, like, I'm becoming a communist. No, no.

Because aren't they, like, red? Yeah, but, like, no, this is from The Matrix. Okay, okay. We should watch that movie.

You take the red pill and your world will basically open and he basically like leaves the matrix, which is like a simulation. And then he opens his eyes to the truth of what reality is.

Right. So when people say you're becoming red pilled, it's like you're becoming a good seriously theorist. Well, they brand, they branded us as that, the CIA to be clear. But when you're, when you, when you, they're a little corrupt. No, no. They branded us

conspiracy theorists because they wanted us to be seen as fringe crazy people. But most people now. Propaganda. Yeah, propaganda. Are becoming red-pilled. It means like you're getting past the traditional propaganda mainstream media narratives and you're starting to see

all the dots and how they connect. Here's my thing with like all conspiracies and not sorry, not all of them, but a lot of them. It's like two things can be true. about once. Totally. You know, so like, yes, we could have gone to war to stop communism, but there might have also been some financial gains of going to war, which I'm not saying is right or wrong.

Like, it's wrong, obviously. Before the soapbox, let me explain what happened because you're about to get on it. Okay. And I love when you get on it. No, I'm not. It's like a little newbie, little cutesy, newbie red-pilled. I'm like, more bad. Like, money bad.

So, we, so we, so the, like going to and from the lake is about an hour and a half. And listen, I just pump my wife full of conspiracy theories, propaganda, red pill behavior. And at first she was like, oh my gosh, the telepathy tapes. I'm so angry about it. But now she's like to form an opinion, whether you like it or not. Yeah, for sure. And so now I turn on these podcasts and then I see her. She's chatchy beating everything's over there. And she, who is this journalist? What does he believe in? And so, the podcast we were listening to was... Ian Carroll.

Yeah, it was with Ian Carroll. Very interesting, man. It was way more interesting than I thought, because I actually thought he was a crazy fringe conspiracy theories. He was very, like, well-researched, like, pretty... I will say I lost a little respect for both of them when they started talking about the telepathy tapes and how these people were actually telepathic.

I was like, Joe Rogan, like, I have lost all credibility in you. Because he also had Kim Dicker. What's her name? Yeah. Kai. Kai Dickerson on his podcast. And he was like, man, this lady's telling me about, he's like, it's amazing. They have these telepathic abilities. I'm like, Joe, like, stop.

I can't. Now I don't trust Joe either. Yeah, we'll give her. That was the, those were the deep tracks. You weren't ready for those. Because they're just ridiculous. So anyway, so Danny is constantly, she's learning so much and she's like, whoa, like, should we have been in the Vietnam War?

Whoa. Like, should we have done this? So I feel like you're getting like a new history lesson and you love to learn. I do love to learn. I just forget it all. You love to learn. So Danny is like, hey, we should watch this movie that I research called Kill the Messenger. And it's about-

On the podcast, they were talking about this journalist named Gary Webb, who basically exposed the CIA for selling dope into Los Angeles to raise money to fund the Nicaragua, Nicaragwin, I can never say that word, Nicaraguan, rebels. Rebels to fight, like, essentially these communists. Yeah. And so, but they were going around, well, we don't know if Reagan actually knew or not,

but they were going around, quote unquote, the president and going around. And because it was like, I guess it was illegal at that time to, like, fund the money. So they had to find the money. So Reagan was, so the history, not opinion, the history was, Reagan was elected and the opposition in Congress to Reagan, Reagan, like, branded himself as like

being hard on communism, right? So he felt that the Soviet Union was getting a foothold in Nicaragua. And he said, we need to stop this and cut this off at the head. Congress, probably for political reasons, was like, we're not going to fund your little contra war. Yes. The contras were the rebels that were going to overthrow who Reagan perceived to be the communist dictator of Nicaragua. Nicaragua. So then what happens is the CIA gets involved. And they come... This is like a fact.

This is not like conciercy. No, this is like history. Yeah. So they come up with a scheme to raise money to fund the war behind and going around Congress's back. And the way that they did it was they allowed for dope runners from South America to come into the U.S. To like mainly southern Los Angeles.

Yes. To southern Los Angeles. Southern Los Angeles. And basically they dumped dope into Southern Los Angeles. Make money. They started cutting it down to create crack, which then became the crack epidemic, which predominantly affected the black communities. And then it came out through Gary Webb that broke this story, that all of this was CIA-backed, you know, to fund this war that destroyed this, you know, basically lives and generations of families in California. Which at the time when Gary Webb is trying to expose that the CIA is involved with this,

like all these journalists, all the media just gaslight him beyond belief. He loses his job. He has absolutely no credibility. The CIA is like put like just infiltrating like so much propaganda. But at the same time, the black community is like, look, this is not how we were. Like they're ruining our communities. So they were kind of like happy with Gary Webb, you know. So anyway, I was just like, this is appalling. I was just like, it's so annoying how we don't learn this side of history in, in like, in our classes. Like you don't, you learn that America is this like, I mean, don't give you wrong.

America's the greatest country ever. But like there's some pretty shady ish that goes down that we don't know about. And so the fact that this was like a fact. that came out, I was like, what else do I need to question? Like, you just, you, I just feel like I can't believe anything anymore. Because here's a thing. Here's another thing. This is where, okay, this is what really got me. Y'all. So Gary Webb is the journalist that comes out with this. Like 10 years later, he dies by suicide by shooting himself twice in the head. Who kills himself by shooting twice in the head? That's,

Have you ever heard of that? No, somebody killed him. Somebody killed him and then they ruled it as a suicide. So anyway. Because he knew some other stuff too, I bet. Yeah. So Danny's red pilled now.

That's a big update from this week. Yeah. So then we got really into that. And then like, and then we watched a movie called Kill the Messenger. It basically covered this whole story. Because then that's my favorite thing. It's like when I'm learning about a subject and then there's a movie about it.

I mean like, oh, what a Friday night. Sign me up. That is. Friday night with some popcorn right there. So we did that and that was great. And then we watched a really great movie called I liked it. I don't know if you liked it. Warfare.

Tell me about that one. Well, you found it so you tell them. Okay. So that one was... We have really... I just want to say this about this podcast. We have really good recommendations for books and podcasts, cups. I mean, we're really like the best podcast.

We're truly providing so much value. I truly feel bad for it. everybody that does listen to us. Now, warfare's a little graphic. It's pretty gory. But it's based on a true story. And it's dedicated to this guy, Elliot, who actually the producer of the movie fought in the Iraqi war, like in Iraq. Anyway, it's a group of Navy SEALs that are on this, like, just simple surveillance operation. The operation goes wrong, goes awry. And why we're were they sent to be in Iraq? Oh, this was the other controversy. Should we not go there? About the Poppy Fields? Not today. Okay. The Poppy fields and later. What's the poppy is cocaine?

No, Poppy is heroin. Opium. Opium. They, I can't Carol Thames. It's an opium war. We won't go there either. It's not cool. Yeah, not today. Not today. Bad idea. EZeman. Anyway, so it's about this like operation that just goes totally wrong. And, but it's really, it's crazy because this whole movie is filmed in kind of like real time. So the whole movie is exactly like what happens in those 90 minutes. And it's told, or it's like, the story is told through the memories of the guys that were there. And at the end of the movie, they show you exactly like the picture and then the actor that played them. And like a lot of them were involved in the production like re-remembering.

I think they shot it like where it all happened, right? In Iraq. No, it looked like. it was in like Hollywood. Oh, a set. Like a set. Anyway,

like it's, it's a cool concept because it's basically like a war movie from memory, from a platoon or, I don't know the term. Yeah.

I don't know. I just, we love a war movie. But I will say, I think the movie's called warfare because they really wanted to capture like the true real side, not the cinematic side of warfare.

Like the... And so it's very real in terms of like the emotions, the gore, but it's good. The gore. Yeah, for sure. Have you noticed that movies are getting shorter? Like, movies on average now are about an hour in like 20 minutes, an hour and a half. And I think that they're doing that strategically because we don't have an attention span. Yeah. And maybe like lower budgets too. Sure. But like also like I think if you're going to populate Netflix with thousands of movies, like I don't know about you, but my attention span is so rewired now that I have trouble committing to a movie. To be honest. To be honest. honest, I think that's the only type of movie that I can watch now is when it's like based off of a true story. That's the only thing that can get my interest like really, really going.

You all know I've been super open about my breastfeeding journey and how personal it is for each and every mama. Not to mention, I recently weaned off of breastfeeding. And it can be extremely emotional. And so just having a formula that you really trust and there's so many like studies coming about all coming out about all the horrible ingredients in formula, which is just, it's mind-boggling.

Those things suck me in. I've never done that. And it's like I almost am like, but I'll never go back and watch the whole movie after I like get sucked into the scene that's like populating on TikTok. It's really weird

because it's like kind of fascinating to explain like our attention spans. Like we're willing to watch the middle part of a movie because it sucks us in on TikTok, but then like we won't go back to like watch the whole thing. The long form. And what's also crazy and so genius about these accounts that do this is they, they refuse to tell you what movie it is. And the reason they do that is because they want you to go into the comment section. There's this like weird subculture is like you post a movie clip and then you go into the comments

and it's like everyone is united that they're not going to say with the new. name of the movie is. Does this ever happen to you? And it's all, it's all engagement bait because it's basically like creating engagement of like everyone trying to figure out what the movie is. So I want everybody to open their Instagram right now and go to the Instagram. You don't have to. I'm just talking to the people. Oh, well, the camera phone. No, and actually don't do this right now because then you'll stop listening to our podcast. There is an Instagram called the film zone. and you'll have to follow it. It is the best Instagram

ever. It shows you the scene of the movie and then juxtapot right next to it it will show you the behind the scenes of how they created the shot. It is fascinating to see like all the behind the scenes. It is the coolest. It's like I will spend hours on that Instagram account.

I comment so much on them, they like followed me back. You know it also gets Danny. What gets Danny going is The good word of the idiocet. No, no. The, the variety in the actor circles.

What do you mean? Like when all of the, like Robert De Nier, Adam Sandler, are all at that roundtable and they're talking about the art of acting. You know I love that. Tell them where to find that because people will love that too. Oh, those are just, but those clips just come up. No, I like to watch actors on actors. That's what it's called, right?

Yeah. I think it is by variety. I can't remember. But it's like they put like two of the most random. It'll be like Nicole Kidman and Glenn Powell. Or it'll be like just the most random two actors. You never think you would see them together. It's like Queen Latifah and Matthew McConaughey.

And those aren't real. I'm just making this up. But like, and you're just like, what are they going to talk about? And then they talk about the art of acting and they talk about like these different. It is just like actors, the different techniques and how they prepared for movies and how they,

it's so fascinating to see like this is like a true art. And I know that like sometimes we look at these actors and we're like, these celebrities. You know, you call them just celebrities. but it's like they are really talented. We should create the influencer by influencer circle. And you you mommy bloggers just sit and you're like, yeah, like, how do you think about your day?

No, but that's what's so interesting is you get, you put me. Or how do you think about the psychology of what you're putting out there? You put like a Markell Washington with like a Danny Austin, you know? And then we sit down at a round table and I'm like, tell me about like you're dumb. So this is actually a really good example. So I do want to get into the ACMs because I have some, it was so fun. It was like probably one of my favorite nights ever. But I sat next or behind like a ton of like really cool TikTokers.

Like, you know, they're kind of like. The cool kids. The cool kids. Like, you know, like I was like, why am I here type of thing? And I sat behind these two guys super tall. Like they're probably like six five, six six. And these two dudes. And I'm like trying to figure out like all the out of the like seven or eight people sitting

in front of me, like 80% of them are men. They're all male influencers on TikTok. And I'm like, this is so different because typically in the past, it's always been female influencers that get invited to events. So we're all talking about like, what do all these guys do? Well, so come to find out, there's Markell Washington who's like literally the funniest. I love him, y'all. Like, he's so funny. He has like 10 million on TikTok. And I recognized him before. There was another guy in me. He cannot remember his name right now. He was so sweet. He was, he's an Olympic athlete. He competed in Tokyo and Paris. He's a diver.

And he was so sweet. He started like diving when he was like five years old. And he's, he's like just amazing. He's also on TikTok. And then these two really tall dudes. And they look, they're just like, look really cool other than Tiana, Tiana Robillard's boyfriend. What's his name? Adrian.

Adrian. Adrian. I'm so up in the drool. Adrian was there with Tiana Robillard. Also like, can we just, can we just take a moment for Tiana Robillard? are and just like, I just want to say. No, I've called this for years. That she is the girl that I would have died to be when I was like younger.

She is the coolest girl. Like in person, she just has a cool personality. Like, she's so confident. She's cool. She's genuine. She's funny. She's, oh. If I could bet, I told, I've said this on the podcast.

If I could bet on any influencer. Tiana. And her and agent are so cute. I hope she has a good team behind her because you could really. do a lot there. Well, and a lot of people don't know this, but she, like, was like one of our day one employees at Divi. Not employees. She created contractors. She worked, she created content for Divi. She did our TikTok. So I saw her last night. And that was the first time I'd ever met her in real life. And she's so beautiful. Like, she's so pretty online, but she's so pretty like in real life.

And I was like, Tiana, oh my gosh. And so we hug. I'm like, I cannot believe I've never met you. And I'm like, girl, Divi, day one. She's like, yep, I used to be out there on the TikToks with all the divvy's cops here. I was like, Tiana. I was like, I know we missed you. I was like, can we hire you back? Can't afford her now. Yeah, yeah. But anyway, so then I see these two tall guys and I'm like, what?

They must be professional athletes. Come to find out. This is just how crazy the internet inflows their spaces. They have a huge podcast that, like their clips get millions and millions of views. It's called the You Should Know This podcast. Have you all heard of it? You should know this. And they're in Dallas.

They're based in like Frisco. and they're like two, I could be wrong. I'm sorry if I'm telling the story wrong. But they're two like college dropouts. I'm pretty sure that they were, they went to school to play like basketball, this really small university or small college, dropped out and started a podcast.

And they basically talk about, I asked them, I was like, what is y'all's podcast about? They're like 26 years old. And they're like literally nothing. Like we just talk about stupid stuff. Like they're not like teaching people.

Like they just talk about the most random stuff. And it pops off. So they do it for the clips probably. It's more for the clips, but their downloads are like insane too. They have, I think they have like three million followers on TikTok. Like, and they have this podcast and this is what they do full time now. And, and I was like, who is y'all's demo? Like what?

And they're like, they're like, Danny. Like we'll have like a 14 year old boy come up to us and then we'll have like a 40 year old dad come up to us. Like. So wide. It's so wide. And it's so wild. But this is just what I'm saying. Like people like that.

And I was like, dude, they live in Dallas now. I bring them on the podcast, like, no offense to them, but like no one's going to know who they are that policy. For sure. Yeah. But that's what's so interesting about the space is like they're so big in their like internet circles. And then like, you know, we understand the mommy community because we have mommies over here. But it's just, it's so fascinating. So I really like your idea. And we could cross promote and all go together.

So sweet. So sweet. So I just, I think that like the, you know, I was at dinner last night. And it's fascinating. It's similar to actors. Like we would never know how much goes into like preparing for a role. Yeah. Or just acting.

Like we just see it as like, oh, actors. Like I could do that. I could show up and do that. And I think. Yeah. And I think a lot of people feel that way about creators. But I think that if people understood the psychology of most creators, I think that they're, I think they would be fascinated.

I also think it would help because I think that it would help a lot of people understand that at the end of the day, yes, it's. a pseudo depiction of reality, but it also is entertainment. And the reason I say it's, I think it would be important is I was at this dinner and these two guys were talking about just like social media and the way it's created comparison in their lives and the way that it's like, well, I'll scroll through social media and I'll be like, oh, like I'll watch these creators and I'm like, man, I should be doing that or I should be doing this. Have you heard about this, this creator Hubbs life? He's in Dallas. I thought I saw him last night and I was freaking out. I love

him. I follow all of his stuff and he lives in Dallas too. That's what I'm saying. So what I really appreciate about him is he well, it's so funny. He just also just quit his job and I'm like, no, I know. I know. I was saying the same thing. But like, you know, if the creator space is creating a lot of like envy and like grass is greener effect, you know, in a variety of different ways, what was cool about his brand was he was basically normalizing the nine to five, which is the 95% majority. Not everyone's, entrepreneurs, not everyone's creators. And so what he, I thought, was doing really, really well and why he grew so fast was he was helping people feel secure in this being an okay way to live life too, right? Whereas like, creators are just like on planes and they're doing this and they're doing that.

You don't have him on the podcast. We should have him. Because I want, I want to know what he's struggling with because what I think is happening is now he's getting all these opportunities and he knows his base is like appealing to these people who, probably just appreciated like life looking somewhat routine. Well, it's like all of the, like, influencers that we know that like, like pretended to have other jobs while they were like mommy blogging. Oh, for sure. Like we know so many.

Like, and I don't think they're doing this anymore. But when we first, like, this was like five, five years ago, they're like, they pretend that they're still like. Or their spouses were still firefighters or police officers. And they were not. They were totally not. They were at best working like one day a week, but most of them like weren't working at all. But to protect the relatability of it and to make sure that the audience wasn't convinced that these people changed.

It was like, it was like, hey, let's protect the reputation of this. No. So anyway, I think that talking through this stuff, now that it's like out there that influencers make money and it's an art form and all this stuff, like I think it would be fascinating to pair a mommy blogger. of how they create content and how their audience thinks and what they'll get hate about if they do versus like a... We could probably learn a lot from each other. Yeah.

That's what, to be clear, isn't that what this podcast is supposed to be about? No. No. I mean, we should just do that more, but we should definitely add... People thought I was going to get on here and de-implains beauty products.

That's why I got canceled for naming it the implants. No, no, you didn't get canceled it for naming it de-impliance. I was poaching. The haters were mad that we filed the trademark first. And I'm sorry, guys. Like, you would have gotten pissed if we filed it or not. So, like, sorry we did the right thing. Oh, gosh.

So should we talk more about the ACMs? You want to ask me some questions about it? Y'all know I love luxury items, but want to know what I love even more. Luxury items when there is a deal involved. This is why I love quince. Their pieces are easy, elevated, and somehow make me feel more put together without even trying.

This is so random, y'all, but they also have the best socks. Like the best no-show socks that I'm obsessed with them. They have amazing pieces like 100% European linen shorts and dresses from $30, Lux swimwear, Italian leather platform sandals, and so much more. I also love their sweaters. The best part, everything with Quince's is priced 50 to 80% less than what you'd find at similar brands.

By working directly with top artisans and cutting out the middlemen, Quince gives you luxury without the markup. Plus, Quince only works with factories that you see. safe, ethical, and responsible manufacturing. It makes it so easy to get new pieces that are great quality for a fabulous price. I've gotten so many lightweight shirts and shorts from Quince that I'm absolutely obsessed with them. Treat your closet to a little summer glove with Quince.

Speaking of summertime, we're about to be living on the water, whether it's playing with the kids in the pool, at home, or spending time with our friends the lake. This means we'll be needing the best swimwear for the kiddos. This is where minnow comes in. Oh, y'all. Minow?

It is the cutest swimsuits. I literally just put an order in with them. Our podcast producer doesn't even know this. I put in an order with them because they do the best quality, but they have these, like, family prints, like where you can match with your. little ones. You can match with like your toddlers and then the dad can have like the same print too. So you get like these family matching swims. But they're not like tacky. Like they're the cutest prints. I actually found them from like another influencer. Minnow is a family lifestyle brand that embraces clean lines and simple details. If you value quality, comfort and style, then minnow is for you.

Just look at the website. Seriously. Every suit is thoughtfully designed with comfort, performance, and protection in mind. All suits use UPF 50 plus protection blocking 98% of UVA and UVB raise. The suits are easy to put on and easy to take off with just the right amount of stretch. My fellow parents know how important it is to have easy to change clothes for your kiddos. Premium fabric keeps sand out of the lining. This is a game changer for us because our kids do not like stand, especially when it gets in those swimsuit. Oh my gosh. It's like a chaos. Their fabrics are so buttery soft and my kids seriously love them. I cannot recommend minimal enough for your kids go to summer swimmys and for your husband and for yourself. Go to shop

I love when you teach me new things. Okay. So I learned this. No, I learned this last night. Okay. So I have a friend whose family is in the oil business. Okay. That is so Dallas. Sorry, just saying like the fact they even just said that. But listen, listen. I'm like my friend's parents grew wheat in their backyard. It's a, it's a third generation. It's a third generation oil family. And so oil is kind of like, if you're in it or if you've been in it, like you're in it,

but it's like hard to kind of grow these days because it's more expensive, you know, cost of oil. Yeah. And there's so, like all the big companies, it's really hard to be like an independent oil family these days. I didn't know the oil lesson. I had no idea. So anyway, the,

Permian Basin. Yeah, it's all in the Permian. That's what I learned. To be clear, I didn't know much. I had a lot of questions. The Big Rich. Oh, I did read that book. Yes.

Anyway. We'll talk about that a different part because. So anyway. A recommendation. So anyway, this family is trying to diversify away from oil into. What do they want to be importers? No, but I think he generally has an interest in it. But they are trying to diversify into like new sectors, new energy sectors.

Okay. And what they are banking on is the next big thing being AI data centers. We talked about this. No, but it gets more interesting. I mean, we just met a guy that builds AI data centers. So what I didn't know is that the biggest challenge to building AI data centers is not finding the land. It is the power. The power.

Oh, because it's a lot of, it's a lot of plugs. The energy. You need a lot of those little, those big things that carry all the data. And then you get these big data. So it used to be that it used to be that. You needed to be close to what is called a carrier hotel. Do you know what a carrier hotel is? Yeah, it's where the Wi-Fi comes out of.

Yeah, how did you know that? Because the gamers use it up in Frisco. Wait. That's why all the gamers move to North Dallas because they're closer. They get faster Wi-Fi. You just sell my Thunder. How did you know that? Babe, I literally, I took this class in college.

MIS management of information systems. So you know what a carrier hotel is? But I learned all about data senders. I learned about how they store all the, yeah, and I got to go look inside of one. Just all the plugs everywhere. It's amazing. So basically the in downtown Dallas, in downtown Dallas, in downtown Dallas. So yeah, you saw my center, but it's fine.

So in downtown Dallas, the carrier hotel is a big, tall glass building right next to American Airlines Center. And I had always heard that the most like pro gamers that play like Call of Duty and our Twitch streamers all feel like they need to be in downtown Dallas. So if you go to downtown Dallas, all of your favorite call of duty players, or Twitch streamers, they all have pin houses in Dallas. And I could never figure out why. And they were like, yeah, the signal is the best. And the reason the signal is the best is because the carrier hotel, which was when they basically laid the internet cabling and then fiber optics followed it, it all routed back to the carrier hotel, which is that big glass building. So the closer they get to the carrier hotel, the better latency that they have. So what does latency mean? I actually don't know.

You sounded smart. Yes. Yeah. So latency is basically like when the signal sent, like how long it takes to like actually and when you're gaming, you measure that in milliseconds. I'm going to use the latency in a sentence this week. So listen, for these AI data centers that were like modeling these like large language models, you used to have to be really close to the carrier hotel so that you could have,

I guess, high latency. But now we have. But now they've kind of figured out a way around it. I don't know how. And so now the biggest issue is... What we got at the lakehouse? Starlink, I don't think that that's how they saw it. Coming from the sky.

But, but so listen. So now the biggest issue is we can't put in any more, uh, fibers. No, AI data centers in DFW because it'll kill our power grid. So power is now the biggest issue. We have a huge gaming problem. No. The, the issue is there's this huge opportunity. Oh.

to supply power to like more remote data centers wherever. So are we going to do it? Well, no. Are we going to save the power? No. I just thought it was so interesting about the carrier hotel, but you stole my thing. I'm so proud of you, though. You say you don't remember things, but you remember that from an MIS class 10 years ago.

My brain goes off and on. It's just like I have these days where I remember things. And then I have these weeks where I don't. I probably should get like a scared. or something. I'm serious. It's not good. Cat scan. No, really. No, for sure. I've been thinking about that. I need to do one of those scans where they just scan your whole body. You need to go to the things off.

You need to go to one of those, those, they like, where Kim Kardashian gets it. And it's like all the sponsored posts where they're like, get us, you know. No, no, no. Like they're called like executive physicals or something. And they send you away for three days and they do all these tests on you. You know, there's like a resort. What's that? There's a Cooper Clinic in Dallas. You're at the Cooper Clinic? Yep. I should do that once a year where they just, yeah. Also, now do you want to ask you any questions about the ACMs?

Yeah, so Danny went to the ACMs. She did not take me. She took her friends. Would you have wanted to go? No, I was kind of glad that you went to your friends, to be honest. I truly didn't even think you would want to go. No, no. I'm not offended at all.

I'm really excited that you had a night out with your girls. Yeah, I just feel like girl time is so important. And like an award show on the red carpet just felt so girl time. Yeah, no, for sure. And like, honestly, you come back from girl time, girl time so rejuvenated that I was like, no, this is good. No, it was so good. And I'm, like, Sarah Rose, like, she deserves a night out.

Same with my friend Shawna. So it was it, was it worth it? Was it good? Tell me about it. It was one of my favorite nights ever. Really? The ACMs. The ACMs might be, this year's ACMs might be one of my favorite.

favorite things I've ever done as like a creator that I've ever been invited to. You mean that. Yeah. I mean it because it's so fabulous. It's so glamorous. It's so it's amazing because you have like all these people to coming together. But everyone's so humble. Like Hollywood, they're so stupid.

Like everybody in Hollywood like, you know, you saw Dochi at the Met, you know, complaining about the umbrellas, like yelling at people because she didn't want people to see her. If you all haven't seen this clip of Dochi, who, you know, I adore. Like, you know, and she can totally, like, she's just having her diva moment. And it's okay. We've all had those moments. But she's like so, like yelling at everybody because she doesn't want them to see her look before she hits the red carpet. So she's like being mean to all of her team.

Like, nobody better effing see my outfit. Give me an umbrella. Give me an umbrella here. Give me an umbrella here. Cover me now. And it's like literally like, who cares? Like it's really not that big deal. We're not saving lives.

Yeah. Okay. Like doctors aren't even yelling like that. Like you can call. on. And honestly, like, her look wasn't, she wasn't even wearing heels. She was wearing sneakers, like, her loafers. Like, you know, so it's just, Hollywood, they create all these, like, false. It's a very self-important community. No, but it's, like, so stupid. Like, I literally, I actually even said this last night on the right

carpet. I was like, you have to, you have to think God is, like, looking down, just kind of, like, giggling, like, you guys are just taking pictures of yourself, like, you know, and it's like, we all walk in and we're all people and God loves us all the exact same amount, but somebody walked in and we all freak out and we start screaming for them like they're a God. And like, oh my gosh, it's so and so and so. And God is probably just laughing at us like, oh my gosh, like I love you just the same. You're just as amazing as that person, you know? And it's like you don't need to be freaking out for them.

Like they're just like a human just like you are. I think that that's why I didn't want to go is like I just don't, I don't feel like I care about celebrity the same way I used to. No, and I agree. Like, I don't either, but it's still fun. Like, I still think it's so great to come together and celebrate people's accomplishments. Like, one of the coolest things was I got to see, I didn't meet her, but she won, her name is Jesse Joe Dylan. And she's not, nobody knows who, like, and I hope if she listens to this, like, I hope she's, like, not offended.

But, like, she wasn't like, you know, Reba McIntyre or Ellie. Ella Langley or Miranda Lambert. Like wasn't one of these major celebrities walking in on the red carpet. Like people weren't, unless you were really in the industry, like people didn't know who she was. She was beautiful. Her outfit was my favorite actually out of everyone's. But come to find out she won Songwriter of the year. She writes all the songs that all of the country artists sing.

And nobody knew who she was. She's the one who's actually writing them, creating them. And it was like so cool to see these people and to like celebrate their accomplishments. into like, I love stuff like that. But you just have to remember, like, that's why I don't like Hollywood because they, there's like a level where there's this line that you can cross where you start to worship these things and you actually think they're like your identity. Like if you can come together and like have fun and celebrate each other, like, yes.

But when you really think that like you're going to save the world by your outfit on the red carpet is like literally like, you know, you've gone a little too far, you know. So anyway, but that's why I love the ACLs because I would say, 95% of the people there, they're just salt to be like earth people. So, really great. Riley Green met Riley Green, who is like kind of like a certified heartthrob. Like, you know, every, all the girls would just die for Riley Green. Like everybody is.

Yeah. He's a guy. He's single. I mean, Ellie is like, that's my one hall pass. Like the girls, my friend Sean was single. Like the girls are just, they go wild for Riley Green. And like, they're so nervous to go get a picture with him. I'm like, I'm a mom of three.

Like, I'll just go ask him. I'm like, you know, when you go up to him, I'm like, hey, can I make it a picture with you? And he's like, yeah, he's like, what are y'all's names? And he introduced himself. He's like, what do y'all do? And Sarah Rose is like, we're content creators. He goes, oh, man, that's something I want to learn more about. He goes, the only time I ever post my Instagram is if I kill a deer.

Have y'all ever done that? And we're like, no, we haven't ever done that. And I'm like, well, can we get our picture now? And he goes, yes, ma'am. And he calls us, yes, ma'am. We get our picture. He goes, you'll have a good night now. And I was just like in Hollywood, this guy would be puffed out of his chest, actually like no,

he would just walk around with the rest of us. And like he's probably like the number one heartthrob there that all the girls are fangirling over, you know? And that's just what I like about country music is they just stay more grounded. Yeah. Not only that, Nicole can admit Keith Urban. Okay, so all the celebrities, we are sitting in this like front row section on the floor. And then the influencer section, which is kind of like the new press, is right behind them.

And so we're really close to all the celebrities. And if they walk in or out, if they go to the bathroom, whatever, they walk right next to us. And we're also seated on the outside. So, like, I mean, literally next to us. Keith Irvin, Nicole Kinman. I mean, Nicole Kinman is an A-list celebrity. She's walking down Keith Urban. And we're all like, oh, my gosh.

And she's like stopping and like giving people hugs and like, like, she's walking down like hugging. She's just so delightful to be around. I mean, same with Chris Staples. super sweet. So there was one point where I had to get up and had to go use the potty. And they wouldn't let me into this one party because all the celebrities were in this one party. So they had to take me to another potty.

I went to this potty. And as I'm in the potty, I come out of the potty. And Lainey Wilson walks right next to me and goes into the stall right next to me. And I go, my jaw just, I follow her. And then it's so cool. Like when you're like that level famous, you have like this personal security guard that walks with you. And it's not for like protection, but it's more for like efficiency.

So I go like this, like my jaw drop. And I look at Sean. I go. And the security alerts looked at me. And she goes, oh, for real? Like, do not say anything to her. Like, leave her alone. And I was like,

I was like, cool, I'm cool. And then Hannah G. Was that just her security guard? Yeah, it was just her person. And she goes in the stall and the security card literally is propped outside the, the stall. And I truly don't think it's like for security. security. I think it's just because she was performing. Like she performed multiple times and she needs to like get in, get out. And so it was more for like, like she used the potty. She didn't even

wash her hands. She was out of there. Sorry, Leaney just called you out. She didn't watch her hands. That's a fun fact though. She didn't wash her hands because all the girls would have been like, oh my God, can we get a picture? Like so it's like it's, I'm sure she had some hand sanitizer. For sure. Yeah. But yeah, so she's definitely peeped next to me. So that was quite a moment. Let's see. Okay, another funny story. I was, have you heard that song? Girls just want to have fun. Yeah.

Yeah. Da-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-mla-move someone. That song? Yeah. So I didn't know this, but a guy named Russell Dickerson sings that. And so this was before I got to like the celebrity party. I was going to the port-of-potty-potties because I didn't know if I could go to the celebrity party because they kicked me out of there.

So I was going to the port-a-potties. well, the line was too long. So I turned around and I hear this girl and this red dress and she's like, Danny, I'm like, hello, what's up? And she's like, hey, I'm Kaylee Dickerson. This is my husband, Russell Dickerson. We were really good friends with Landon in college. Really?

We went to Belmont together and we all used to hang out together. And I was like, really? That's so funny. She goes, has, she goes, has Landon never talked about us? I was like, yeah. And then so then I text Lanin, I was like, Lennon, do you know these people? At the time, I didn't know that he was who he was.

Yeah. And I was like, do you know these people? And he goes, yeah, ha ha, ha. It's so funny that he's a country artist. Now he used to be really emo in college. And I was like, country artist. And then Shauna goes, Danny, do you know who that is? That's Russell Dickerson.

And I was like, I'm sorry. The one thing about country artists that are wrong. It's like everybody's like Chris Howard, you know, Michael Henderson. Yeah. Like Russell Dickerson. Like you guys all sound the same. Sam Hunt. Riley Green.

Like, it's so country. And it's like, in Hollywood, everybody goes by these fake names, like, Lady Gaga. And it's a little bit easier to remember when your name is just Rihanna. For sure. But anyway, yeah, so they were super sweet, so down to earth. And it was so funny because he said hi. And then, like, they go back and I, like, look up on the screen. He's, like, on stage, like on the screen.

That's so funny. But that's how down to earth and, like, cool these people are, like, just walking around, like, normal. Like, normies, you know? Who did you fan girl over the most? Um, I didn't really fan girl over anyone because everybody's so nice. I know, but like who was Nicole Kimman. Like, yeah, probably that would make sense. Oh, Backshue Boys for sure.

Were they close to you though? Or just on stage? No, but like I almost, you know, Backshy Boys is the only concert I've ever cried out. Yeah. And you know, I've seen them like four times. And so like I was going to leave early. But then I heard that they were doing the finale with Rascal Flats. And I was like, you know I won't be missing that.

So I stayed and then I did shed one single tier left eye when they started doing a dance at the same time because there's nothing like watching 40-year-old dads doing hip-hop on stage. It is just with the confetti falling down. There's nothing that gets me going more. Like it was just a beautiful thing. And I'm like, these men still got it. Who had the best performance? Oh, I would have freaked out over Kelsey Ballerini. I love her.

And Ella Langley. She's so cute. She dated Riley Green for a little bit. Oh, let me tell you who won all the awards. No, I know, but like you were there. Who had the best performance? It was really hard to see because they had all these different stages. And so, um...

It's also interesting that they treat you guys as press now. That's so smart. Yeah, because like... Yeah, what's the press going to do? Yeah. Yeah, for sure. The press, even a lot of the people running press, us like, okay, so when we went, when we got there, we first did the red carpet, which, you know, red carpets are, this was the biggest red carpet I've ever done.

Like, and the red carpet, it was so crazy because they had like all of the probably like C-listers. Yeah. And I would consider myself like an like an Lister, you know, like I'm down and out of the bed. No, it's okay. I'm not like, it's okay. I'm a great mother and a great wife. It's okay. And a great podcaster. And so, you know, they invite all of us.

And so when we're in there, it's more like influencers. It's like not, you know, we're not getting the backstreet boys walking or anything. And it's because all the backstreet boys slash the Miranda, the Blake Shelton's like Leanne Rhymes, they all get to the red carpet like 20 minutes before this show starts because they just want to get in and out. So I didn't see any like huge celebrities, but it was really special. Like when we walked in, you know, they have all of the, they have all these cameras set up and each one says like what publication they're a part of. Yeah. And there was, oh, do you want to know, like my humbling moment?

Yeah. You know, because we all have them. But so they, I walk in and there's also like a bunch of like, I wouldn't, I'm just going to say fans because what I, kind of like in a typical like red carpet scene. All the fans are behind the red rope. So you walk in. And it was really sweet because there were some of the people in the stands were like, oh my gosh, Danny. And I was like, oh, it's still so like home.

Like I got to meet some of them. And then I get on the red carpet. And there's like four different stops that you have to stop at. And I'm like taking pictures. It's like USA Today and like us weekly. And I'm like, oh, yeah, it looks so good. I'm hot. I'm working the red carpet.

I'm like, can you see my bra? Can you see my boobs? Like so then I get to the fourth one. No, nobody takes a picture. And I'm posing. Oh, no. I know. And I was like, can you just pretend?

Wait, why weren't they taking pictures? I just didn't want one of me. Oh, that's hard. But the third, the first three were great. You know, and I was like, oh, fucking. That reminds me of the All-Star game when. That was crudgy. I was way up in the stands and I was watching Danny and she was so clearly trying to like warm up with a teammate and no one wanted to throw the ball with you.

You know, just. I was so, I was mad up there for you. You know what, but... That was humbling. God keeps me humble. Yeah. He really does. And I appreciate that.

I go home and I cry and I cry. No. No. And so I had that moment all that I cried, but I was like, and then like nobody was taking a picture, but I just pretended. Because I was like, I'm not going to like embarrass myself even more. So I was like... Oh, man.

That's so hard. I know. But you know what, babe. It's all, you know, it's all just silly. Yeah, it's silly. It's silly. It's silly. It's silly.

And I was like, you know what? But you got a couple of Gettys, Gettie images? Yeah, I got a couple of those Gettys. And so, and then, you know, we walk around and it's like one of those things where it's like, they stop and they want to interview you on the red carpet. But it's like, do they want to interview you? So you like, they like come and it's so awkward. Right. Carpets are so awkward.

So did they want to interview? There were a couple, but like, did they? Or did they were. Feel bad for me. You know, I don't know. It's so confusing. Well, what were the nature of their questions? Like, who are you?

What do you do? No, I'm kidding. Did they? No. No, I would say there's probably 25, like, publications that you could get interviewed for, and I did four of them. So, there you go. Boot Barn when I did interview me.

So I was like, I've made it in life. And I did do like, I think I did Us Weekly, USA Today. Were there any influencers that everyone was like flocking to? Not really. Wait, let me think. No. Yeah.

But here, what was cool is I saw. Like the influencer class was kind of all equal. We're all kind of nobody's. Yeah. But, well, you probably have like the traditional, you have the country music artists. And then you've got the press that wants to interview the country music artist. And then you have all.

all these influencers coming in and the press is like, can you please go out of the way. Yeah, no, for sure. And the, because the press is like, y'all stole our seats. So, like, y'all are kind of just like, it's just. But here's what happened. It would be like the lady from USA Today was also a mom. So she followed me. Yeah.

And she followed them on a bloggers, you know. But, like, then you would get, that's the thing. It was like more like appealing to the interviewer than the actual publication. Yeah, for sure. Because the publication doesn't need influencer interviews, you know. They need the celebrities. So it's like I only got an interview if they just happened to follow me. Yeah.

And so it happened like that. And then, but there was a girl, Rachel's, I don't know if it's Skoggins or Skoggins, but she, you know Rachel. We've done like PR events with her. And she was so sweet. And she got like, she helped me do like, yeah, kind of like a brownish blonde. She helped me get like a couple of interviews, which was really nice. And honestly, it was good for my blog, you know.

Yeah. It's like I'm not, whatever. So I saw Josh Abbott back there. That was cool. I saw Ella Langley back there. That was cool. Who's my guy these days? Kenny Chesney.

Was he there? No, I didn't see him. Tim McGraw? No. George Strait? Alan Jackson was there. The OG's pieced out. Oh, wait.

Is Alan Jackson my guy? I think you love Alan Jackson. Oh, he's my new guy. You're right. He performed and it was so sweet. Did he do drive? That's my new. You love that.

Favorite song. Dave, I almost cried when he performed. He was just. Wait, what did he perform? I don't remember, but it was like. Was it Chattanoogie? I don't remember. I did get a video of it.

Here, let me put it. That's another dude. Chattanoogie's a binger too. It's like, where was I at? Reba McIntyre. No. Dan and Shea performed. Listen.

I don't know why it's ranked eight. Drive is his best song. Wait, what did he? performed, Danny. Alan Jackson. My guy. Oh, Shabuzi performed. Which I couldn't believe he didn't win Song of the Year. That tipsy song. I feel like that was like the song of the year. That bar Tipsy songs.

No, like, it's, it's, Lionel Richie was there. I was like, Nicole? It's random. Yeah, Lionel Richie. No, you want Sophia. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Nicole. That was so 90s of me. Paris and Nicole. Nicole is also his daughter, right? Yeah. So Sophia, wait, so sorry, Sophia and Nicole are. our sisters. Uh-huh.

Riley Green did a little presentation. Let me find, did I not film Alan Jackson? That would have just been. I don't even know who this Riley Green guy is, to be honest. It's, I think people like him more for, well, he won song of the year with, or single of the year with Ella Langley. Excuse me. You look like you love me.

Is that Alan Jackson? That song. Dude. Yeah. That's, that's an emotional. song too. Oh, we were swaying. Quonsere was. So cute. Burwin. That song, remember.

Oh, man. Oh, silly. Is that him? Yeah. He's older, man. I came to Nashville with a crazy sack of songs and a crazy sack of songs. He goes, he gets on stage. He goes, you know, about two years ago, I'm met a girl who named her dog after me and I thought that was an owner. But now I'm standing here tonight.

And I think this trumps it. I was like, dang, that's so good. Yeah, so that was great. Let me tell you about some of the people that won. Look,

Shauna's got her red carpet photos. Oh, good, that girl. You need to start her up. I tried to set. Okay. Did I tell you I was like an amazing wing woman last day?

I went up to a man and asked if he was single for her. What? like, dot, dot, dot, for her. No, literally I walk up to him. I go, he was the one that when we couldn't get into the celebrity bathroom, he worked for the ACMs and he helped us get into the different celebrity bathroom where I ran into Laining Wilson. He was really tall and really cute. And I was like, I just want Shauna to meet like a good man. You know, honestly, for selfish reasons, because we're going to be hanging out with him too.

Yeah, true. So I was like, he leads us a bathroom. I go, we love you so much. Thank you so much. Are you single? And he goes, no, ma'am, I'm taking. Because you know, they'll just, no, ma'am, I'm taking. And I go, oh, no, no, not for me, for her.

He's like, no, ma'am, I'm still taking. Like, oh, okay. And then Shauna was like, Danny, I know that took a lot of balls. Like, thank you for doing that. I know, I'm trying. I'm trying. Good friend. Such a good friend.

So this was interesting. Okay, so let's see. Entertainer of the Year. Who do you think of one? Yeah, I'll just say you. Hold on. It's kind of like the big one. Shibuzi?

No. Lany Wilson. And I think she won that last year, too. I don't really know any Lainey Wilson songs. You know, watermelon moonshine? No. Watermelon moonshine?

No, I need to... You know this song. I'm very... Listen, I just discovered Kenny Chesney. Sorry. Like, I'm very new to this country scene. And I feel like I'm starting with like the OGs and then working my way up. Oh, I know this song.

Oh, it's so good. Makes you feel something. It's so cool to have a talent like that. It gives me the chills. It's so cool. It's so cool. And like you're just, you're there and you're seeing all these amazing. And that's another thing about Hollywood.

Nobody can sing. Sorry, not nobody. But like a lot of people can't sing. They get up on and they have these like really flashy performances. You get, um, you get, um, Lian, rhymes you get reba mackintyre you get branda lambert they're all up there doing these collaborations dolly wasn't there and they're and they're talented and they're singing about like good things totally just america just america that was one of my questions was like i was like hit the back

heartbeat and like i'm like expecting they would be like what are you wearing tonight are you excited to and they're like what are you most like about being an american i was like oh shit you're like let me tell you about the Iran contra issue? I'm not going to lie. Because let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. The CIA has been up to some weird ace shit. And I am just, I'm fed up with it.

No, I literally, it crossed my mind. But no, I had a legit answer. So, oh, my goodness, I could act quick on my feet. What did you say? I said I love living in a place where everybody loves to be an American and not like that. but like, like, we're so proud to be not just Americans, but Texans. That's true. I was like, we go to Europe.

We're not from America. We're from Texas. That's so good branding. And so, anyway, that was interesting. Okay, so female artists of the year was Lainey Wilson as well. Male artist of the year, Chris Stapleton. He's also a vibe. He gets up there and, ooh, just feel it.

Oh, so good. new female artist of the year was Ella Langley. She's having a huge moment. You know a song that she sings? That song that, Excuse me. Oh, yeah. You look like you love me.

It's like basically any song that blows up on TikTok. Yeah, yeah. And then new artist of the year was Zach Top. Album of the year was Whirlwind by Lainney Wilson. I don't know what single of the year in song versus the year. I don't know what the differences are. Yeah. Single of the year was You Look Like You Love Me by Ella Langley and Riley Green.

Apparently they were dating, which is like country tea. But they're not anymore. Song of the Year was dirt cheap by Cody Johnson. He's also having like a huge moment. The only thing I just don't understand is how Shibuzzi didn't win Song of the Year with Tipsy. Like I just feel like that was the song of the year. For sure. And Morgan Wallen didn't win anything.

And I'm convinced it's because he just doesn't go. Yeah. No, for sure, because he would have to win something. Yeah. I think he won something last year. Did Post Malone win anything? Or two years ago. Post Malone was like nominated for some stuff with...

Wait, did Beyonce win anything for her country album? Can you imagine? No, she wasn't nominated for anything. Oh. I wonder like if country artists like accept her, like we're like, we love that you are No, I feel like that's like a whole thing that they don't. But yeah, I think Morgan Wallen and Beyonce didn't win something because they weren't there for sure.

Is this a big deal? Is this bigger than the CMT words? No, I wouldn't think so. This is lower level. This is the sixth year. It's been around for 60 years. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Wait. Was it six years or six decades? No, it would not have to be six years. No, I think it was the 60th. So it was started in the... Wait, guys. Can somebody look that up? Wait, I think it was the 60th year.

It was six decades of the... ACMs. Yeah, look, I took a picture. 60. Oh. Yeah. So it was six decades of the ACMs. Yeah. So I don't know what I would say the CMTs like I feel like post Malone, Morgan Wall like they all would show up to the CMTs. Right. Right. Am I wrong? Or the Grammys maybe. Oh, the Grammys. The Grammys are like with Hollywood and like I don't trust those people. Oh no. Like just don't. Sometimes's off with them. Well, I'm so glad that you had fun. Yeah, not done. Oh, okay.

Okay. I'm going to let you keep sharing. Oh, you got to pee? Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay, so the show opened with... It's real.

It's relatable. It's our style. She got, he got pee pee pee. The show opened up with, I will say, the first 12 minutes of the show, it was really special. There was this medley of all of these artists of songs of the year from the six decades. The show has been in existence. It had Reba McIntyre, Clint Black, Dan and Shea, Leanne Rhymes, Sugar Land, Winona Judd.

There was also a huge performance by Reba McIntyre, Laney Wilson, and Miranda Lambert. They debuted this new single called Trailblazer. It was okay. The song was okay. The performance was amazing. Other people that performed were Allen Jackson, Lake Shulton, Brooks and Dunn, Ella Lingly, Eric Church, Jelly Roll. who jelly roll was like literally preaching the gospel like the entire time. And then at the end he stopped and like still was preaching the gospel and they cut him off.

I was like, I don't know. We wanted to hear what I wanted to say. Kelsey Ballerini, she's amazing. Chase Stokes was there too, which was like so fun. Rascal Flats, Shabuzzi, Zach Top. And then not to be like offensive, but my highlight of the night was the Backstreet Boys. because I know they're not country, so I don't want to be offensive. And everybody was like, why are they here?

And I was like, why are you not accepting the backstreet boys here? Like, just let it happen. Stop questioning. Don't ask questions. Just let it go. But they did a collab with Roscolle Flats, which was like, that's cool. It was so cool. It was just one heck of a night.

And then we went to the after party because, you know, when you're so stimulated like that from all the music and all the celebrities walking around, you just can't just calm down. You can't just go home. You know. So we snuck our way into the after party. Was there anyone famous there? No. Yeah. I feel like there was like probably an after party for like like a real after party.

But this was like the after party they like sold tickets for. Yeah. If you ever have to buy tickets to an after party, it's not the real after party. Let me just tell you. That is the truth. It's just not. Life hack. Life hack.

They're not. Nobody's going to be there. Apparently there was an after party for the after party. But I got home at 1.30. So I don't know. I don't know what that was like. I can't tell you. But let me see. Okay, hold on. Let me see what else happened. Oh, I did see on the red carpet, you know, who interviewed me. Actually, she didn't interview me. But I met Jesse James Decker in person for the first time. I've texted her so many times. Oh, no way.

She was there. She was working the red carpet. And then Katie Austin was there working the red carpet as well. And she stopped me and was like, can we do an interview and clear the air that we're not related? Oh, that's funny. I know. I was like, but are we? Kind of look. It's like we could be similar.

I don't know if we look that similar, but we definitely don't have the same bodies. She's got like an eight pack. So do you. That's what I see when I do. Just love you. sweet man. Was Jesse James Necker nice? No, she was I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. She like actually was

so nice. That's funny. No, she was so sweet, so beautiful. She looked sending last night. And I saw her makeup artist who I follow on Instagram. She's kind of like this famous makeup artist and like I kind of fanned gerald over her a little bit. Have you ever worked with her? No, she does like famous people and like I follow

her because she does like really, really famous. those people. And I kind of forgot her name, but she was there. And I, like, maybe fan girl'd overheard the most. Let me tell you something. You looked amazing. I'm so glad you had a great time. You were a great friend.

I am ready to end this podcast. Why? I'm just tired. You don't want to talk to me anymore? No, I love talking to you. You want to go to the lake? Yeah, I want to go to the lake. Okay.

We are going to be packing up after this and heading to the lake house. And I do want to say you've done a phenomenal job at trying. Like, I, nobody tries harder than this man. Okay. Like, he makes an effort and that effort being made cannot be neat. And here's the thing, he is always so close. So close. So he's gotten, y'all know that Jordan gets really obsessed with things.

Like he's extremely obsessed with the bathroom experience at our Lakehouse. I don't know why. But it is like he will be like what make, this is him on chat jvety. What makes the best bathroom experience? You know that you've done this. You know that you Google this. Okay. And then he'll read these forums that are like, so one time I went to this guy's off.

And he had heated floors. And then he had monogrammed napkins that you just threw. away after you wash your hands. And then the water didn't ever turn cold. It was always warm. And so Jordan gets all these ideas. That's how we found out about cozy earth sheets, like literally not sponsored. Like he looked at Reddit forums.

So he's super obsessed with that. He also at our lakehouse is obsessed with the breakfast experience. Okay. So he's like so obsessed where he has this waffle maker. We've talked about a million times. He's been trying so hard to figure out exactly how to make like the perfect breakfast for a lot of guests when we stay at the lakehouse. Okay.

So the first time we got the waffle maker, we wake up, there's like six people saying he literally made 42 pink, like waffles. Like, I don't know, but it's because he looks on Tashiwit and he follows this recipe, but he doesn't like portion control it.

So he literally made 62 waffles. So, and no offense that the waffles were like really bouncing dry. Like, I don't know. Like if you would have thrown them, they're kind of like a little foamy. Like they would have bounced.

But it's okay. The effort was like made and it's supposed to be it and I like loved it. So then my aunt comes and stays with us and he's like, I want to make breakfast. And I'm like, great. Eggs, bacon and pancakes. I told him, I was like, let's not do the waffles because they're getting a little foamy. I was like, let's just do pancakes. Y'all, the pancake mix directions are on the back of the box.

Okay. Pancakes and eggs and bacon are probably three of the easiest things you can make besides cereal. And so Jordan, I go like. I wake up and I go out and he's making breakfast. I'm like, this is so sweet. And he's like, he's already made the pancake making mixing experience so complicated. He's put everything into a massive ass blender. Okay.

So the pancake mix is in a blender when I'm like, why is this in a blender? Like you literally just have to put water and egg and maybe some oil in the mix in a bowl and stir it, you know? And so, but I'm like, you know what? Jordan just always likes to do things this way. So I'm like, oh, it's so sweet. He's like, can you teach me how to use the griddle and like how to make pancakes? I'm like, yes. So first you want to put butter down, not olive oil, because the butter just makes a pancake

taste so good, you know. So we put butter down and I'm like, put it on medium, wait for it to heat up. And I start pouring out the pancake and I'm going to teach him, you know, when you lay a pancake down, you have to wait for the bubbles to sprout. And when the bubbles pop, you know it's probably cooked on one side. That's when you flip it. I don't know if you knew that. You told me that.

Okay. You told me that. Life lesson. So we started pouring him and I'm like, man, something in this kitchen smells so garlicky. I'm like, it smells so salty garlicky. Like, really, you know when you like cut garlic and it's just, it's so strong. And I'm flipping the pancakes and I'm like smelling. I'm like, maybe we left something out last night.

And I'm flipping the pancakes and I'm like, okay. And I'm showing them how to make them. So we probably make six or seven pancakes. and the smell is just getting stronger and stronger. And then my aunt comes out. And I'm like, guys, don't smell that. I'm like, it's so disgusting. Like, it's getting stronger.

I go, these pancakes smell like garlic. And Jordan's like, and I'm like, babe, what did you put in the pancake mix? And he's like, nothing. I just put oil and pancake. And I go, but babe, look at the box. This one didn't require oil. Why did you put? No, it did.

He goes, oh, okay. Stop. It did. Okay. So he goes to the kitchen. He goes, well, I thought I would use this oil. And he pulls out our truffle oil. Truffle oil. It's like a garlic truffle oil. No, no, no. Truff is the brand. No, it's a truffle oil, babe. Yeah, no, can I tell you what went through my mind, though?

No, we all know. You just thought it was like a sweet oil. Yeah. Because it's truffle. You know what truffle is? I thought it was like a luxury olive oil because it says truffle olive oil. Do you know what a truffle? it is. Yeah, it's like what the dog sniff for. What kind of plant is it? Isn't it a

Is it a fungus? It's a mushroom, yes. Yeah, mushroom, right? Yeah, yeah. So you're putting mushrooms into our pancakes, so that you hear that. Listen, here's what I didn't know is Truff makes hot sauce and all these. I thought Truff was the brand. I didn't know that that meant it was like a truffle oil, like truffle. No, I know that now. You put it on like a pizza. think it was a pretty innocent mistake if you're, I'm being honest. So then we were like still cooking.

He just leaves. Like he just goes bye bye. And like a week later, I come home and I'm just like sitting in bed and you know, like we just start laughing because you just remember. And I'm like, remember that time you put trouble in our pancakes? Like it was so disgusting because we had to throw the whole batch away. And he goes, yeah, I didn't tell you about this, but I put it all in the eggs too. And I just ran out of there.

He goes, I didn't want to see yel's reactions. I just ran out. The exit wasn't so bad. I literally left for 30 minutes because I was like, I'm about to get demolished because I just made 24 eggs with white truffle olive oil. That's the other thing. Because you go, you go, Jordan, did you put it in the eggs? And I go, no, absolutely not. And then I just left.

I was like, I can't take it. I was so ashamed of my decision to put it in the pancakes because the sentiment was so there. And I feel like I wasn't getting any A's for efforts. I know I've told this story before, but just before we move on, I just want to tell this one last story. No, stop. The egg one with the- No more.

Babe, it's so sweet. No, it's not. It's just how your brain works. Can I just tell him? Okay, fine. When I first started dating Jordan, he invited me over to make breakfast for me. And I was like, oh my gosh, this man cooks, too. He made me an egg scramble.

And I was like, God, this is such a sweet man. He serves me. That's who I want to be. That's what I'm trying to be. Just wait. He serves me, eggs, mixed with little pieces of carrots, almonds, raisins, and blue cheese, all mixed together and an egg scramble. Come to find out, it wasn't just almonds and raisins.

It was one of those trail mixes that he just pulled out the almonds and the raisins. Mix it all together in the eggs. Serve it to me, the blue cheese made the eggs green. So I'm eating eight like he just thought like she's embellishing she's embellishing No I'm not babe you're embellishing you're embellishing literally you made me a scramble with carrots raisins and almonds you're slightly embellishing and green and blue cheese it was the most disgusting thing but at first I was like oh my god is kind of like a culinary genius like I was like flavors together and then I just realized he used everything in his kitchen that wasn't

expired you know it's so funny is in my mind I literally was like ratatooie. I literally was like ratatooy. Like I was like, oh, like, it's like Italian music paint in the background. I was like, she's going to be so impressed. You'd be like, whoa, so innovative. I kind of thought that at first because I didn't know him. Like, he was so smart.

And I was like, oh, this guy is like kind of a culinary genius. And then I just realized, no, he just pulled out every single thing he had. He had carrots from hummus. And you had trail mix. And then you had some blue cheese. like randomly and it was so gross. It tasted so bad. I'm like, hmm, wow.

It's okay. Anyway. Well, I still love you, babe. Well, we're going right now. I got Saturday morning, I got Sunday morning to figure this out. You just love to overcomplicate things. No.

Whoa. It didn't really have to be that. It's so simple. Yeah, maybe so. You just, honestly, here's another thing too. You don't need to make 24 eggs when there's only four people there. I've been meaning to tell you that one. Well, the way I do it is like two eggs per person.

I know. I, yes. So there's like six people, 12 bags. I ordered less. I ordered less eggs this time. Yeah. We're wasting a lot of eggs. Okay.

Well, but like, is there still a chance that I can redeem myself? Because I've got Saturday and Sunday. I guess we'll have to find out next week on de-influenced. Here's the big thing is that Sunday's Mother's Day. It's a big breakfast. Okay. Well, we love you guys. Hey, can you just do me a favor?
