0:00:04.800 --> 0:00:10.000
<v Speaker 1>and I Heart Radio Podcast. Hello and welcome to an

0:00:10.000 --> 0:00:12.360
<v Speaker 1>all new episode of Help I Suck At Dating. My

0:00:12.440 --> 0:00:17.400
<v Speaker 1>name is Jared Haven Not joined today by Dean. Yeah,

0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:21.160
<v Speaker 1>we should take attendance a little light. Jared havan here,

0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:30.120
<v Speaker 1>Vanessa Gribaldi, Dean Anglert. Actually this might be a better

0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:35.120
<v Speaker 1>one when I say bueller Vanessa Grimaldi. Ah, that's a

0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:38.599
<v Speaker 1>better one. As you guys have probably guessed, Vanessa will

0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:40.840
<v Speaker 1>be on the line, but she's just taking a little

0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:43.400
<v Speaker 1>break right now. She'll be back here in a second. Um,

0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:45.320
<v Speaker 1>But we had an airport. She's at an airport like

0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:47.680
<v Speaker 1>she just landed. She just landed somewhere. I think she was.

0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:49.839
<v Speaker 1>I think she might be in New York now. I

0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:52.760
<v Speaker 1>don't know if she's traveling from Montreal or to Montreal.

0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:55.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, I gotta say what she's doing right now.

0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:57.400
<v Speaker 1>It's something she likes to talk about a lot, so

0:00:57.720 --> 0:00:59.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, with some people this would be inappropriate to say.

0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Bit she is using the bathroom, which she loves talking about.

0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:06.080
<v Speaker 1>I have trouble after an air after a long flight, uh,

0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:09.200
<v Speaker 1>using the stopped up for a while. Yeah, well, there

0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:12.319
<v Speaker 1>are a few things that hurt me more than using

0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:16.440
<v Speaker 1>a public bathroom at the airport. It takes me about

0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:20.160
<v Speaker 1>ten minutes just to get the stall ready for everything,

0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:23.120
<v Speaker 1>because I don't I don't just put toilet paper down.

0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:26.880
<v Speaker 1>I put about seven layers of toilet paper down. Sometimes

0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:29.560
<v Speaker 1>the things they give you know, because that's the worst

0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:32.640
<v Speaker 1>invention I've ever seen. Have you ever tried to use

0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:37.240
<v Speaker 1>one of those plastic covers for the toilet? They always rip,

0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 1>They're so flimsy, and like sometimes I feel like they

0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:44.280
<v Speaker 1>just they get wet. They soak up the water from

0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:46.440
<v Speaker 1>the toilet, because no matter what public bathroom you're in,

0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:49.440
<v Speaker 1>it's soaked. For whatever reason, people just can't use the

0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:52.120
<v Speaker 1>toilet or the urinal or the sink correctly. I always

0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:54.600
<v Speaker 1>assume I'm using it wrong, and that's why I'm ripping

0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:55.880
<v Speaker 1>it or doing because I was. They were taught how

0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:57.440
<v Speaker 1>to use those that I am always alone when I'm

0:01:57.520 --> 0:01:59.640
<v Speaker 1>using them, so I must not know how to use these.

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>But Sysony from the Seacrest Show had a theory that

0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:05.400
<v Speaker 1>that flap, what the hell is that she thinks that's

0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:08.240
<v Speaker 1>supposed to go over the front of the bowl to

0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:13.959
<v Speaker 1>stop your underpants from touching the bowl. There's no not

0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:17.680
<v Speaker 1>that whatever company creates those did not invest that type

0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:19.799
<v Speaker 1>of money for your underwear. I think it goes in

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:22.240
<v Speaker 1>the water to ensure that it gets pulled down when

0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:26.040
<v Speaker 1>you flush. But that's disgusting. Well, it's all disgusting, but

0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:28.240
<v Speaker 1>I know, but when I can't, Like when I see

0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.519
<v Speaker 1>the flap, I'm like, all right, we're gonna get a

0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:32.840
<v Speaker 1>little bit t m I. But I think to myself,

0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:35.000
<v Speaker 1>not only is that flap in the water, but it

0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:39.200
<v Speaker 1>will be in the midst of also something that is

0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:43.360
<v Speaker 1>entering the water. As I said, no, but I just

0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:45.760
<v Speaker 1>feel gross because then it's just it's all connected, right,

0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:47.600
<v Speaker 1>because that flap is connected to the paper that I'm

0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:50.280
<v Speaker 1>sitting on, and then you know, my poop is going

0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:52.959
<v Speaker 1>to be hitting the flap, and then I'll be sitting

0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:56.440
<v Speaker 1>also on the other part. It's just today when I

0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:58.800
<v Speaker 1>do that ripping thing, and I ripped the whole thing apart,

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:01.360
<v Speaker 1>I wondered. I wondered, at one point in my life,

0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:04.359
<v Speaker 1>am I not supposed to rip it? Is my natural

0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:09.200
<v Speaker 1>bodily function going to rip it automatically? Well, I think

0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:12.400
<v Speaker 1>that's a theory you should test out next time. They're traveling,

0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:15.920
<v Speaker 1>the holidays are around somewhere. Things. I think they're more

0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:17.760
<v Speaker 1>trouble than their word. So are you do you use

0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:20.960
<v Speaker 1>toilet paper? Use nothing? You just go Yeah, you think

0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:26.240
<v Speaker 1>less of me, not that I respected you, And I thing.

0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:29.400
<v Speaker 1>There's bacteria galore on that seat. It's the only going

0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:32.640
<v Speaker 1>to touch the back of my thigh, and I'm I

0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:34.840
<v Speaker 1>don't have any way of ingesting that bacteria into my

0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:37.840
<v Speaker 1>body through my thigh. I'm not gonna lick the cover

0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:40.240
<v Speaker 1>of the seat. I'm just gonna sit on it. And

0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:43.560
<v Speaker 1>so I've decided that's okay. I've rationalized it. That's fair.

0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:47.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that's crazy. Man, We're really getting some

0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:50.840
<v Speaker 1>good content. I'm just talking about toilet seat covers. Found

0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:53.960
<v Speaker 1>attaches it to your to your rear end like a

0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 1>paper machet, almost like you're like wallpaper like, and then

0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:59.520
<v Speaker 1>it's just on there forever, I'm wearing one right now,

0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:02.040
<v Speaker 1>you have about seven. I can see they're coming through

0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:06.200
<v Speaker 1>your pants. Try or again would So we're currently calling Vanessa.

0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:09.120
<v Speaker 1>Vanessa is traveling either to or from Montreal as she

0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:12.320
<v Speaker 1>does Dean. Have you seen his Instagram? He's traveling all

0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:15.800
<v Speaker 1>around the world yet again, this man. I don't know

0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:20.479
<v Speaker 1>where he is, but it's a beautiful location. I wish.

0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:23.520
<v Speaker 1>Do you guys travel Have you guys ever really traveled alone? No? No,

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:26.800
<v Speaker 1>never really alone. I mean a little bit with for work. Yeah,

0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:29.800
<v Speaker 1>But have you ever just gone to a location by yourself?

0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:32.919
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I have either. It takes a certain

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of person, and I think to say I respect it.

0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:38.040
<v Speaker 1>I respect that kind of person. I envy it. I

0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:41.040
<v Speaker 1>wish I had that type of personality. I I like

0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:44.720
<v Speaker 1>going places, but only like a few years ago. First

0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:47.120
<v Speaker 1>time ever went to Los Angeles, I traveled by myself,

0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:49.520
<v Speaker 1>but I had a friend here that I stayed here with,

0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:53.000
<v Speaker 1>And so I do travel alone. But I wouldn't say

0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:56.279
<v Speaker 1>I travel to places and then stay by myself and

0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:58.120
<v Speaker 1>then really just make friends on a whim. I don't

0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:00.599
<v Speaker 1>think I have that type of personality either. Eastan, could

0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:02.919
<v Speaker 1>you travel by yourself? Oh? Yes, I do lots of

0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:05.599
<v Speaker 1>stuff by myself. Where's the craziest Well, hold on, there's

0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:08.480
<v Speaker 1>a difference between doing things by yourself and traveling by yourself.

0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:11.279
<v Speaker 1>Because I like someone like Dean. I mean he's traveling

0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:14.240
<v Speaker 1>from country to country to country by himself and not

0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:18.000
<v Speaker 1>meeting friends there. He's just going to these places on

0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:21.200
<v Speaker 1>his on his lonesome. I haven't traveled outside the country

0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:24.080
<v Speaker 1>by myself, um, but I have. Like I used to

0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:26.040
<v Speaker 1>live in Northern California, I would come down to southern

0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:29.320
<v Speaker 1>California by myself to see music, and I wouldn't meet anyone.

0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:31.839
<v Speaker 1>I would just go to the show and what what

0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:35.760
<v Speaker 1>type of music. There's this female rap group that I

0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:38.360
<v Speaker 1>like quite a bit that no one else likes. They're

0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:40.880
<v Speaker 1>called The Millionaires. They were on in a season of

0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:44.120
<v Speaker 1>Bad Girls Club. But I like the Millions quite a bit,

0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:45.479
<v Speaker 1>and no one else wanted to go see them with me.

0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:48.160
<v Speaker 1>So I came down to Annaheim and I saw the show,

0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:50.479
<v Speaker 1>and I took myself out to the ESPN Zone and

0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:52.120
<v Speaker 1>then I stayed the night in the Motel six and

0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:54.480
<v Speaker 1>drove them the next day. You gave yourself a nice

0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:57.360
<v Speaker 1>little date night. But I'm sure you well deserved. Yes,

0:05:57.480 --> 0:06:01.799
<v Speaker 1>I like to think, so, well, look what's the cat

0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:06.160
<v Speaker 1>drag gag Vanessa? We need some information? What air part

0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:10.160
<v Speaker 1>are you in right now? So I'm at LaGuardia New

0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:13.640
<v Speaker 1>York City, in New York, and you had Yeah, I

0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:15.719
<v Speaker 1>love New York, but I don't you guys know that

0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:18.640
<v Speaker 1>I have, like you were, um luck when it comes

0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:21.520
<v Speaker 1>to traveling. So of course my flight was delayed. I

0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:25.120
<v Speaker 1>was hosting a radio show for Virgin Radio, which is

0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:29.239
<v Speaker 1>part of my Heart Radio family, and I like sat

0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:30.880
<v Speaker 1>out of there, and of course my flight was in

0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:32.560
<v Speaker 1>May for like an hour and a half or two hours.

0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:35.120
<v Speaker 1>We're just like silling on the on the airplane for

0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:39.440
<v Speaker 1>forty five minutes flight. So I'm just hanging out here

0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:42.359
<v Speaker 1>talking to you guys before I have to cut off

0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:46.120
<v Speaker 1>into a cabin to my hotel. Must have been an

0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:51.760
<v Speaker 1>emergency to use the LaGuardia bathroom, Mark. I told you

0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:54.039
<v Speaker 1>I was stuck on an airplane for like three hours,

0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:56.719
<v Speaker 1>so yes, you know I had this supporting and just

0:06:56.760 --> 0:07:01.159
<v Speaker 1>needed to at least the piece. Do you use a

0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:08.400
<v Speaker 1>toilet feed cover? Squad? Oh even for that interesting, That

0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:11.520
<v Speaker 1>is a lot of effort to put into the bathroom.

0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:14.080
<v Speaker 1>Just put a cover on and put some TP on there. No,

0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:21.800
<v Speaker 1>I could see sitting squatting for number one is reasonable.

0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:24.560
<v Speaker 1>I think squatting for number two that that's some thigh

0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:27.120
<v Speaker 1>action going on. That's a commitment that is that's going

0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:30.480
<v Speaker 1>to burn. It's not that terrible because you go when

0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:32.200
<v Speaker 1>you have to go, You're not I'm not going for

0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:35.520
<v Speaker 1>fifty minutes like reading articles. Actually I did. When you

0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:38.400
<v Speaker 1>sent me the articles free today, I was like, okay,

0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:42.000
<v Speaker 1>well that's a nice little segue to the article. Anyway. UM, so, Vanessa,

0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:44.320
<v Speaker 1>we wanted to talk to you a little bit about

0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:47.560
<v Speaker 1>the article that was released I believe on US Weekly

0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:51.120
<v Speaker 1>about Lauren bush Now, Now, have you ever met Lauren Bushnell?

0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:54.520
<v Speaker 1>I love her. Yes they have. Okay, I've only met

0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:56.920
<v Speaker 1>her a couple of times, but she was very sweet.

0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:58.720
<v Speaker 1>She was actually the first person I reached out to

0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:04.800
<v Speaker 1>one Um Nick and I got engaged, and she was

0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.080
<v Speaker 1>with Ben at the time, and we spoke on the

0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:09.840
<v Speaker 1>phone and she was very supportive and inderstood exactly what

0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:14.000
<v Speaker 1>I was going through. UM and we kept in contact

0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:17.160
<v Speaker 1>even after the breakup. And uh, we've seen each other

0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:19.640
<v Speaker 1>a few times. So quick backstory and Lauren bush Now,

0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:21.520
<v Speaker 1>for those of you don't know, Lauren was on Ben

0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:24.120
<v Speaker 1>Higgins season to The Bachelor. She ended up winning. Ben

0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:27.440
<v Speaker 1>Higgins and her were engaged for a little while before

0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:29.960
<v Speaker 1>they called the engagement off and Ben was the bachelor

0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:33.559
<v Speaker 1>prior to Nick, whose Vanessa was on that season and

0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Vanessa ended up getting engaged to Nick. So, Vanessa, you're

0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:38.720
<v Speaker 1>saying you reached out to Lauren Bushnell just for some

0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.600
<v Speaker 1>advice to kind of figure out what was coming, I'm

0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:45.720
<v Speaker 1>assuming yeah, exactly. Okay, did she have any good advice

0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:48.440
<v Speaker 1>for you? Yeah, you know, send me to cancel out

0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:57.679
<v Speaker 1>all the noise, the outside noise. Um. So she's very

0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:00.400
<v Speaker 1>supportive and so Ben, we actually went on a date

0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:03.319
<v Speaker 1>and that was the first time I've been I love then.

0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:08.400
<v Speaker 1>Lauren's a very sweet woman too. Yeah. Um, but there

0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:11.320
<v Speaker 1>was an article released about Lauren Bushnell. She is dating

0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:16.079
<v Speaker 1>Chris Lane, who is a country singer. I believe that's correct. Yeah,

0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:18.040
<v Speaker 1>he's definitely a country singer. I was just asking the

0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:20.560
<v Speaker 1>group to see if you guys at all, but apparently not,

0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:24.959
<v Speaker 1>um so Lauren bush Nell. Actually he is. He's a

0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:26.800
<v Speaker 1>good looking man. I'm currently looking at a at a

0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 1>picture of him right now. Um, very good looking man.

0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:35.480
<v Speaker 1>And apparently Chris Lane was dating Lauren Barr before he

0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:37.720
<v Speaker 1>started dating Lauren bush Now, Novena, do you know who

0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Lauren Barr is? Lauren Barr was on Ben season of

0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:44.600
<v Speaker 1>The Battler and I'm not sure how far he made

0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:48.920
<v Speaker 1>it on. I'm not sure about how far she made it.

0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:52.240
<v Speaker 1>I believe she may have been on Paradise too. I

0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:55.439
<v Speaker 1>don't remember exactly, but she was. She was one of

0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:57.520
<v Speaker 1>the many Lauren's on Ben season. She was known as

0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:02.720
<v Speaker 1>lb um and so aparently Lauren bushnell Um. Before they

0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:05.959
<v Speaker 1>went public with the relationships, she reached out to Lauren Barr,

0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:08.400
<v Speaker 1>who kind of talked about their relationship for a little while.

0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:11.280
<v Speaker 1>So this guy, Chris Lane has dated a couple a

0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:15.280
<v Speaker 1>couple of Bachelorurettes, which is very interesting. Um so you ye,

0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:20.599
<v Speaker 1>I was in Nashville when it was right after we

0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:23.800
<v Speaker 1>finished airing, sorry filming Art season. I was in Nashville

0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:28.280
<v Speaker 1>and I saw him. Think Claire, I don't remember last name.

0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:32.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh Crawley, Yeah, Claire Crawley. Hold on, So you're telling

0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:36.440
<v Speaker 1>me that he's dated Lauren to Laurence from Ben season's Claire,

0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:39.480
<v Speaker 1>And then did you just say one more? I think

0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:43.079
<v Speaker 1>that's wow. This guy should just be on the Bachelor.

0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god. I think he just wants to be

0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:50.520
<v Speaker 1>a Bachler, but he standing off the free One's a

0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:54.560
<v Speaker 1>great person. I've ever met Claire, Claire's sweetheart as well. Lauren. Yeah,

0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:56.400
<v Speaker 1>I've met Lauren a couple of times. Super sweetheart. I

0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:57.760
<v Speaker 1>think it was very nice for her to reach out

0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:00.000
<v Speaker 1>to LB before they came out. So apparently, as Weekly

0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:02.280
<v Speaker 1>it goes on to say Chris was dating LB Lauren

0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Bar right before he was dating Lauren Bushnell. Lauren Bushnell

0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:08.080
<v Speaker 1>called LB. God, there's so many Laurens. I'm already so confused.

0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:11.360
<v Speaker 1>So let's get this right. So Lauren Bushnell called LB

0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:14.439
<v Speaker 1>also known as Lauren bar a couple of days ago

0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:17.680
<v Speaker 1>to tell her that they were together. So Lauren Bushnell

0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:20.640
<v Speaker 1>called LB to say, Hey, listen, I'm currently dating Chris.

0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:22.320
<v Speaker 1>I know you guys used to date. We're gonna go

0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:24.600
<v Speaker 1>public with our relationship. Just wanted to give you a

0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:29.120
<v Speaker 1>heads up. Do you think Lauren needed to do that? Bushnell? Yeah.

0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:33.839
<v Speaker 1>I think that's the noble thing to do. I I mean, also,

0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:36.080
<v Speaker 1>all depending on how close they were. If it was

0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:38.480
<v Speaker 1>obviously they were close enough for her to reach out

0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:42.160
<v Speaker 1>to her and let her know if it's news before

0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:44.600
<v Speaker 1>she found out through the internet. I think there's nothing

0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:46.840
<v Speaker 1>more than a slap in the face and finding something

0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:52.720
<v Speaker 1>out through an online article or through Instagram or you know, um,

0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:56.480
<v Speaker 1>through Lord of Mouth. So I think it was the

0:11:56.559 --> 0:12:00.920
<v Speaker 1>respective respectful things of Lauren to do, for Lawrence to

0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:10.040
<v Speaker 1>do Lawren the last names to make life easier. And

0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.680
<v Speaker 1>so yeah, I mean it's tough, right because you can't

0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:15.760
<v Speaker 1>forget that you're in a public relationship. And for me personally,

0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:19.320
<v Speaker 1>when when Ashley and I came out and announced our

0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:23.120
<v Speaker 1>relationship back and in May, um, I was kind of

0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:24.920
<v Speaker 1>going back and forth in my own head whether I

0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:27.319
<v Speaker 1>should reach out to one particular ex girlfriend and let

0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:30.360
<v Speaker 1>her know that I am now dating Actually we're going

0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:32.360
<v Speaker 1>to announce our relationship. And I was talking to my

0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:35.520
<v Speaker 1>sister about it, and uh, you know, I was talking

0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:37.200
<v Speaker 1>to a couple of friends about it. Some are saying,

0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:39.360
<v Speaker 1>you don't owe her anything, there's really nothing you need

0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:41.720
<v Speaker 1>to say, and then they're saying, if you wanted to

0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:44.640
<v Speaker 1>reach out More importantly, I was nervous to reaching out,

0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:46.880
<v Speaker 1>not for her sake, but for Ashley's sake, because I

0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:50.400
<v Speaker 1>didn't want Ashley to think that I was putting my

0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:53.200
<v Speaker 1>ars girlfriend's feelings over her own in any way. So

0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:56.800
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of a fine line. Um. And so I

0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:59.160
<v Speaker 1>ended up reaching out. But I reached out, I felt

0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:01.200
<v Speaker 1>like too late, and I wish I could have redone

0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:02.679
<v Speaker 1>that I think I would have done it. I think

0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:04.680
<v Speaker 1>I could have done a better job than I did,

0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:08.160
<v Speaker 1>which I I regret. Unfortunately, I can get some whenever.

0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:10.360
<v Speaker 1>Like you know, if I I date a guy and

0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:15.439
<v Speaker 1>he starts by seeing anything negative about his ex girlfriend,

0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:20.000
<v Speaker 1>to me, that's a huge red slag that many next. No,

0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:21.640
<v Speaker 1>no, no no at all. I'm thinking. I'm just trying to

0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:24.040
<v Speaker 1>give a comparison here. So if like someone has something

0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:27.920
<v Speaker 1>negative to say about their x X whatever boyfriend or girlfriends,

0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:30.800
<v Speaker 1>it's the red slag for someone that wants to um

0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:33.800
<v Speaker 1>that that thinks highly of their significant other. After they

0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:37.520
<v Speaker 1>break up, it's a sign that they moved on and

0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:41.240
<v Speaker 1>they're on neutral terms. So I think if you would

0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:43.480
<v Speaker 1>have done it a little bit sooner, I don't know,

0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:45.760
<v Speaker 1>if I don't know fastly would I mean, I don't know,

0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:47.360
<v Speaker 1>ask you that well, but I don't think. I think

0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:51.240
<v Speaker 1>if I were to put myself in asty shoes, she

0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:53.040
<v Speaker 1>she may have thought that was would have been a

0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:56.720
<v Speaker 1>respectful thing for you to do UM, because it's like

0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:59.880
<v Speaker 1>it so like um a soft spite to you. You know,

0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:04.280
<v Speaker 1>still decide that you're carrying and you're you consider other

0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:09.200
<v Speaker 1>people feeling. No, I think I think I was just

0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:12.199
<v Speaker 1>overthinking the situation, if I'm being honest and not also

0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:15.840
<v Speaker 1>the COMPARI the comparison here is that we're if Ashley

0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:18.800
<v Speaker 1>were to call this person your X, and that's a

0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:22.880
<v Speaker 1>little weird, isn't Well she did? Yeah, yeah, yeah she called.

0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:24.800
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't you have the call? It was actually the call? Well, no,

0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:28.760
<v Speaker 1>she called somebody, uh, an X of hers a couple

0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:31.200
<v Speaker 1>of days before he came out and said, you know, hey,

0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:34.880
<v Speaker 1>this is happening. But the Lauren's situations, it was with

0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:37.360
<v Speaker 1>the new girlfriend called the old girlfriends, So it would

0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:40.080
<v Speaker 1>be actually calling your AX and maybe you calling Ashley's act.

0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:41.800
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a litt different because I'm assuming the

0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:44.000
<v Speaker 1>reason Bushnell reached out the bars because they were friends,

0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:45.520
<v Speaker 1>because they were on the same season in the Batchelor.

0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:47.520
<v Speaker 1>So I'm assuming that they knew each other and she

0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:50.120
<v Speaker 1>wanted to be respectful. Yeah. Now do you think it

0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:56.160
<v Speaker 1>would have been more appropriate for Christical? Um? I think

0:14:56.160 --> 0:15:04.680
<v Speaker 1>it depends on what their relationship. Mean. Yeah, I feel

0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:09.640
<v Speaker 1>like it's a girl code. Is this a cety? Well,

0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:11.360
<v Speaker 1>mostly it's a celebrity thing. But I think it might

0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:14.560
<v Speaker 1>be just becoming a modern day thing with Facebook, right

0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:16.880
<v Speaker 1>before you go social media official, do you need to

0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:21.960
<v Speaker 1>warn excess before you do that. I don't go. I

0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:25.200
<v Speaker 1>don't know. It depends. It really depends because there is

0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:27.480
<v Speaker 1>a difference between because there's a difference between a public

0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:31.000
<v Speaker 1>relationship and a non public relationship. Because someone like Lauren

0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:33.320
<v Speaker 1>bush Now and this guy Chris Lane, like they're going

0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:37.160
<v Speaker 1>to be in articles and some of their inside relationship

0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:39.920
<v Speaker 1>stories will be brought to the public, whereas if you're

0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:42.280
<v Speaker 1>not in a public relationship, it's really just going to

0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:44.360
<v Speaker 1>be about whatever you put on your social media. So

0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:47.680
<v Speaker 1>for the other ex partner, boyfriend and girlfriend, they can

0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:50.800
<v Speaker 1>just unfollow. I think it's very difficult for somebody who's

0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:54.320
<v Speaker 1>in a public relationship for their exod they're just in headlines.

0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:57.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't mean I agree, but I also disagree. It's

0:15:57.560 --> 0:16:00.720
<v Speaker 1>so easy nowadays to find out which friend to stay

0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:03.000
<v Speaker 1>firth and which friends like you don't have to be

0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:06.000
<v Speaker 1>following them. Someone else could be a friend, a mutual

0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:09.720
<v Speaker 1>friend of yours, could be following your ex or uh,

0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:13.480
<v Speaker 1>the person that they're dating. Listen, I dated this guy,

0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:17.840
<v Speaker 1>and um, it's the craziest story. I dated this guy

0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:20.280
<v Speaker 1>and then a friend came out to visit me in

0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:23.120
<v Speaker 1>Montreal and then uh, they go back home to their

0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:24.920
<v Speaker 1>hometown and they're like, oh, I saw that you hung

0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:27.400
<v Speaker 1>out Vanessa this weekend and they're like yeah. And that

0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:31.160
<v Speaker 1>person was like, oh's following the boyfriends And that person

0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:33.960
<v Speaker 1>was like, what, Vanessa doesn't have a boyfriend. This guy

0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:36.760
<v Speaker 1>that I casually dated posted pictures of me on his

0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:40.360
<v Speaker 1>Instagram seed, but I deleted all of my mutual friends

0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:43.040
<v Speaker 1>so that I couldn't find out. But it just so

0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:45.960
<v Speaker 1>happened that we had a mutual friend in common and

0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:48.200
<v Speaker 1>it came back to me. I don't think it's because

0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:49.800
<v Speaker 1>like I was in the public eye just because he

0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:52.800
<v Speaker 1>this person was following this a mutual friend of ours.

0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:57.240
<v Speaker 1>So I think the universe will always pray in your favor.

0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:00.560
<v Speaker 1>You don't have to bump searching for sure, will come

0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:04.399
<v Speaker 1>out of the closet or whatever the expressionist and it'll

0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:08.840
<v Speaker 1>like expose itself before you have to go out it maybe,

0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:11.200
<v Speaker 1>But I also don't advocate that everybody should reach out

0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:13.159
<v Speaker 1>to the X before they start dating someone new, Like

0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:16.199
<v Speaker 1>that's just the way life goes. Unfortunately, I think that

0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:20.919
<v Speaker 1>um if you're going to start to date someone that

0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:24.679
<v Speaker 1>a friend of yours had dated, then it's the proper

0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:28.320
<v Speaker 1>thing to do. Reach out and just start your relationship

0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:32.359
<v Speaker 1>on a good note and like karma is not gonna

0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:34.199
<v Speaker 1>come and butt you in the ask later on. All right,

0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:37.080
<v Speaker 1>let me ask you a different question. Should Lauren Bushnell

0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:41.080
<v Speaker 1>have contacted Ben Higgins and told him no, why house

0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:43.359
<v Speaker 1>Ben Higgins? What does he have to do with them?

0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:46.440
<v Speaker 1>But that's that's my point. So like for everybody that's

0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:51.480
<v Speaker 1>not in a public relationship, but Lauren Barr dated Chris Lane. Yeah,

0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:55.040
<v Speaker 1>but our conversation earlier was do you think somebody needs

0:17:55.040 --> 0:17:57.480
<v Speaker 1>to reach out to their ex when they're in a

0:17:57.480 --> 0:18:01.359
<v Speaker 1>new relationship before they like post some thing on social media?

0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:03.600
<v Speaker 1>And for somebody that's not in a public relationship, I

0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:09.280
<v Speaker 1>don't think it's necessary to do. I'm not think might

0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:11.480
<v Speaker 1>have even reached out to Bed. She might have it

0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:12.840
<v Speaker 1>and said, hey, by the way, heads up, this is

0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:14.320
<v Speaker 1>going on and this is gonna be public, just so

0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:16.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, because the key is how do they find out?

0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:18.480
<v Speaker 1>You don't want your ex to find out from friend

0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:21.240
<v Speaker 1>of a friend, from rumor mill, from entertainment tonight, whatever

0:18:21.280 --> 0:18:24.920
<v Speaker 1>the situation. Maybe you'd rather hear from them, right, Yes,

0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:27.760
<v Speaker 1>I agree, but no, But I mean if if I were,

0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:29.840
<v Speaker 1>if I would to start dating someone, I wouldn't call

0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:32.040
<v Speaker 1>it Nick and be like, hey, heads up dating someone?

0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:35.760
<v Speaker 1>Like I agree. Just conversely, Nick wouldn't call you, and

0:18:35.800 --> 0:18:39.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't think neither one of you needs to do that. Yeah, okay,

0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:42.560
<v Speaker 1>well I think we are all Yeah, I think we're

0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:44.760
<v Speaker 1>all agreement on that one. We have a guest here.

0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:46.479
<v Speaker 1>I want to bring her in. Vanessa, you gotta get

0:18:57.840 --> 0:18:59.680
<v Speaker 1>getting colder where you're at, which means I just want

0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:01.520

0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:03.680
<v Speaker 1>watch TV all day. And the cool thing is now

0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:05.800
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of streaming services out there, and one

0:19:05.800 --> 0:19:09.320
<v Speaker 1>of the greatest streaming services is Amazon Fire TV. It

0:19:09.320 --> 0:19:11.920
<v Speaker 1>brings all the live and streaming content that you love

0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:41.920
<v Speaker 1>ultimate ultimate mix of entertainment and relaxation. I've been binge

0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:45.160

0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:47.080
<v Speaker 1>not my own. But the cool thing is I'm gonna

0:19:47.080 --> 0:19:50.600

<v Speaker 1>It is a funny show. I'm very excited to start

0:19:55.600 --> 0:19:58.280

<v Speaker 1>it's all about dating. You have a little bit of background,

0:22:45.640 --> 0:22:49.520
<v Speaker 1>a massive background in that I thoroughly suck at dating,

0:22:49.720 --> 0:22:52.480
<v Speaker 1>So I I belong here. This is my moment. You're

0:22:52.480 --> 0:22:54.600
<v Speaker 1>in the right place. So tell our audience a little

0:22:54.600 --> 0:22:57.439
<v Speaker 1>bit about yourself. Um, I make videos on YouTube and

0:22:57.480 --> 0:23:00.000
<v Speaker 1>I have for the past. It was eleven twelve years.

0:23:00.000 --> 0:23:01.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm really tall and skinny, so it's kind of hard

0:23:01.520 --> 0:23:04.640
<v Speaker 1>to book me in acting. So I saw you six

0:23:05.280 --> 0:23:07.000
<v Speaker 1>but I like heels too, so that makes me like

0:23:07.040 --> 0:23:09.360
<v Speaker 1>six four. So I'm the one you notice when you're out,

0:23:09.400 --> 0:23:11.480
<v Speaker 1>like not in a good way, because like that's the

0:23:11.520 --> 0:23:13.880
<v Speaker 1>girl in line subway, Like you know, are you wearing

0:23:13.920 --> 0:23:15.920
<v Speaker 1>heels right now? Okay? Because I noticed I was, like,

0:23:15.960 --> 0:23:17.959
<v Speaker 1>you look taller than six ft but I mean when

0:23:17.960 --> 0:23:20.320
<v Speaker 1>you when you're six ft, like, what's the point? What's

0:23:20.320 --> 0:23:22.760
<v Speaker 1>another like three or four inches? Does that make sense?

0:23:22.760 --> 0:23:24.600
<v Speaker 1>Like it doesn't matter you're already six ft. Yeah, you

0:23:24.680 --> 0:23:28.159
<v Speaker 1>might as well just rocket rocket four. So I'm sorry. Continue,

0:23:28.720 --> 0:23:30.840

0:24:21.600 --> 0:24:26.480
<v Speaker 1>meet this particular person that's I swept right on Tender? So?

0:24:26.640 --> 0:24:28.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean I think I kind of in my gut

0:24:28.400 --> 0:24:29.840
<v Speaker 1>knew we weren't going to be right for each other

0:24:29.920 --> 0:24:31.879
<v Speaker 1>because you know, he had this like one photo was

0:24:31.960 --> 0:24:34.200
<v Speaker 1>him like without a shirt on, holding a great fruit

0:24:34.240 --> 0:24:36.359
<v Speaker 1>and knife in it, and he kind of like he

0:24:36.400 --> 0:24:39.399
<v Speaker 1>had like interesting but they were like professional photos on

0:24:39.560 --> 0:24:41.800
<v Speaker 1>his tender profile, which is pretty normal in l A,

0:24:41.920 --> 0:24:43.919
<v Speaker 1>like you know that people are actors or but he

0:24:44.000 --> 0:24:46.920
<v Speaker 1>was a doctor from Europe and it just seemed a

0:24:46.920 --> 0:24:49.119
<v Speaker 1>little stage. But he was so cute I couldn't resist.

0:24:49.320 --> 0:24:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Was that a professional photo? The one all of them? Yeah? Yeah,

0:24:52.320 --> 0:24:54.200
<v Speaker 1>I was a professional. He was like like knifeing a

0:24:54.240 --> 0:24:56.560
<v Speaker 1>set dress like with like only blue jeans on. But

0:24:56.600 --> 0:24:59.360
<v Speaker 1>he had a nice body. So I'm sorry, Like it's

0:24:59.359 --> 0:25:04.439
<v Speaker 1>still I'm female and somewhat shallow, Like the packs got me. Listen,

0:25:04.480 --> 0:25:06.639
<v Speaker 1>it's an online dating app, Like the first thing you

0:25:06.680 --> 0:25:09.040
<v Speaker 1>see is the physical appearance of somebody, but it's always

0:25:09.119 --> 0:25:12.280
<v Speaker 1>visual and then flags that draws are the things that

0:25:12.320 --> 0:25:14.720
<v Speaker 1>should be pushing us away, but we can't help ourselves.

0:25:14.880 --> 0:25:17.960
<v Speaker 1>If only had a time capsule, our time machine, I

0:25:17.960 --> 0:25:20.760
<v Speaker 1>could go back and talk to myself about this. But yeah,

0:25:21.359 --> 0:25:24.439
<v Speaker 1>um and so, so it's a questionary tale about what

0:25:24.520 --> 0:25:27.120
<v Speaker 1>happened with you and everything that happened. So how long

0:25:27.119 --> 0:25:30.200

0:25:36.640 --> 0:25:38.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, I want to talk about it. Yeah, I've

0:25:38.560 --> 0:25:40.399
<v Speaker 1>seen it. I've seen a lot of your videos on YouTube,

0:25:40.400 --> 0:25:43.119
<v Speaker 1>which is very successful in congratulations on your success with that,

0:25:43.160 --> 0:25:46.080
<v Speaker 1>and they're very entertaining. And I've seen videos of what

0:25:46.200 --> 0:25:48.720
<v Speaker 1>is your son's name, Rex Rex? I think just a

0:25:48.720 --> 0:25:53.880

0:25:57.880 --> 0:25:59.760
<v Speaker 1>child and he kind of went through a difficult time.

0:25:59.760 --> 0:26:01.880
<v Speaker 1>But he said and one of your videos I remember

0:26:01.920 --> 0:26:04.400
<v Speaker 1>you saying it was it was very fast. How how

0:26:04.440 --> 0:26:08.000
<v Speaker 1>everything he can't yeh family marriage like this was in

0:26:08.040 --> 0:26:10.360
<v Speaker 1>the first couple of months, like within the first few

0:26:10.440 --> 0:26:12.200
<v Speaker 1>dates he was talking marriage. And I was gonna like

0:26:12.200 --> 0:26:13.800
<v Speaker 1>slow down, buddy, because of the coo do I asked

0:26:13.800 --> 0:26:15.760
<v Speaker 1>for permission, like your mom, I'm like, wait a minute,

0:26:15.880 --> 0:26:18.960
<v Speaker 1>like this was only date number two, and he already

0:26:19.000 --> 0:26:20.919
<v Speaker 1>told me, like within like a week that it was

0:26:20.920 --> 0:26:23.360
<v Speaker 1>like love first sight. He thought I was the most

0:26:23.359 --> 0:26:25.520
<v Speaker 1>beautiful woman he had ever seen. He came on really

0:26:25.560 --> 0:26:28.720
<v Speaker 1>strong and fast, and then from there he kind of

0:26:28.760 --> 0:26:31.520
<v Speaker 1>isolated me from my friends and family because you know,

0:26:31.560 --> 0:26:34.000
<v Speaker 1>he had to keep up whatever he had going on

0:26:34.080 --> 0:26:36.479
<v Speaker 1>or whatever his motives were, so he kept me. You know,

0:26:37.000 --> 0:26:39.879
<v Speaker 1>anyone that I was hanging out that wasn't him was

0:26:39.920 --> 0:26:45.240
<v Speaker 1>not okay. So and then he started to be where

0:26:45.280 --> 0:26:47.679
<v Speaker 1>he always had sob stories about things. So I started

0:26:47.720 --> 0:26:50.840
<v Speaker 1>financially supporting him because he said he was a doctor

0:26:50.880 --> 0:26:52.760
<v Speaker 1>from Europe, but he just needed to pass his board

0:26:52.760 --> 0:26:55.080
<v Speaker 1>exams because when you come from Europe you need to

0:26:55.119 --> 0:26:57.240
<v Speaker 1>go through a process and take tests and make sure

0:26:57.280 --> 0:26:59.440
<v Speaker 1>that you know you are ready to practice medicine the

0:26:59.520 --> 0:27:02.280
<v Speaker 1>United States. So he's like, I just need two months.

0:27:02.320 --> 0:27:04.159
<v Speaker 1>So I was like, okay, I will financially support you

0:27:04.200 --> 0:27:06.720
<v Speaker 1>for two months. You get your boards done, and then

0:27:06.840 --> 0:27:08.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, you'll be able to help me a lot

0:27:08.160 --> 0:27:11.720
<v Speaker 1>of a partnership. But two months turned into four turned

0:27:11.760 --> 0:27:14.040
<v Speaker 1>into six before I knew it. I found out I

0:27:14.080 --> 0:27:16.280
<v Speaker 1>was pregnant. I also had a girl come out of

0:27:16.280 --> 0:27:18.080
<v Speaker 1>the woodworks and say that you know, they were having

0:27:18.080 --> 0:27:21.040
<v Speaker 1>an affair. He told me. He told me that she

0:27:21.119 --> 0:27:22.840
<v Speaker 1>was a call girl and trying to get money from

0:27:22.880 --> 0:27:26.679
<v Speaker 1>him because his family was wealthy. And then also the reason,

0:27:26.720 --> 0:27:28.639
<v Speaker 1>it's just she had dirt on him because he was

0:27:28.680 --> 0:27:31.480
<v Speaker 1>already married. So he told me when he met me

0:27:31.760 --> 0:27:34.920
<v Speaker 1>that he paid his last hundred and seventy thousand dollars

0:27:34.960 --> 0:27:37.520
<v Speaker 1>to this Russian woman so she would marry him for

0:27:37.520 --> 0:27:40.359
<v Speaker 1>a green card whause the U S citizen. So I

0:27:40.480 --> 0:27:44.359
<v Speaker 1>believed him. He was just that, like it's so hard,

0:27:44.520 --> 0:27:48.720
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm he's still I like, no, I think it

0:27:48.800 --> 0:27:50.959
<v Speaker 1>was my first time ever being in love. And anyone

0:27:51.000 --> 0:27:52.800
<v Speaker 1>in love will tell you like when you're in love,

0:27:52.880 --> 0:27:56.400
<v Speaker 1>you do have love goggles and you don't see things correctly,

0:27:56.400 --> 0:27:59.280
<v Speaker 1>and you want to believe people's excuses. You don't want

0:27:59.280 --> 0:28:00.840
<v Speaker 1>to believe that you're you don't want if they are

0:28:00.840 --> 0:28:04.240
<v Speaker 1>giving you legitimate facts. How he's like, he showed me

0:28:04.359 --> 0:28:07.280
<v Speaker 1>on a computer how you can generate text messages. He's like,

0:28:07.440 --> 0:28:09.840
<v Speaker 1>she's making this up. Look these photos are from my friend,

0:28:09.840 --> 0:28:11.760
<v Speaker 1>and she's like writing you know my name, and you

0:28:11.760 --> 0:28:14.600
<v Speaker 1>can put the battery power and the date and the time.

0:28:14.640 --> 0:28:17.359
<v Speaker 1>He showed me how she could have legitimately done this,

0:28:17.960 --> 0:28:19.800
<v Speaker 1>but when I got on the phone with her, he

0:28:19.880 --> 0:28:22.440
<v Speaker 1>was facetiming her at my mom's house. So she described

0:28:22.480 --> 0:28:25.640
<v Speaker 1>in detail, like my mom's furniture and like the lower level.

0:28:25.680 --> 0:28:27.160
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, if I only would have talked

0:28:27.200 --> 0:28:28.920
<v Speaker 1>to her, I would have known that he was lying.

0:28:29.080 --> 0:28:33.439
<v Speaker 1>But thankfully I got out when I did. But how

0:28:33.520 --> 0:28:35.960
<v Speaker 1>long were you together? Um? It was almost almost two years.

0:28:36.000 --> 0:28:38.960
<v Speaker 1>But the yeah, about about two years. And did you

0:28:38.960 --> 0:28:42.320
<v Speaker 1>guys get married? No? He he said one day was like, oh,

0:28:42.320 --> 0:28:44.080
<v Speaker 1>you're basically like my wife. And I'm like yeah, He's like,

0:28:44.120 --> 0:28:45.880
<v Speaker 1>well we should get married. But he never got me

0:28:45.960 --> 0:28:49.600
<v Speaker 1>a ring, so we were engaged without a ring. And

0:28:49.680 --> 0:28:52.120
<v Speaker 1>I just wanted a cheap like I Um, I always

0:28:52.120 --> 0:28:54.400
<v Speaker 1>wanted a vintage rings. So we started looking in downtown

0:28:54.560 --> 0:28:56.200
<v Speaker 1>because you know, there's some really cool like ring shops

0:28:56.200 --> 0:28:58.800
<v Speaker 1>where you can get like vintage jewelry. I just wanted

0:28:58.800 --> 0:29:00.360
<v Speaker 1>one that was like, you know, maybe that was in

0:29:00.480 --> 0:29:02.880
<v Speaker 1>dollars or something. But he insisted that you know when

0:29:02.920 --> 0:29:05.560
<v Speaker 1>he got his ten billion dollars out of the bank

0:29:05.600 --> 0:29:07.680
<v Speaker 1>that he was gonna get me this like massive rock,

0:29:07.720 --> 0:29:10.280
<v Speaker 1>and I it's not what I wanted. But we started

0:29:10.280 --> 0:29:13.560
<v Speaker 1>looking at like high end property and like Malibu and

0:29:14.200 --> 0:29:17.240
<v Speaker 1>ranch of Santa Fe and San Diego and whatnot. And

0:29:17.280 --> 0:29:19.280
<v Speaker 1>then he told me that the banker ran away with

0:29:19.280 --> 0:29:21.600
<v Speaker 1>the money. And at that point, I had already been

0:29:21.640 --> 0:29:24.480
<v Speaker 1>pregnant for five months, not working because of morning sickness,

0:29:24.640 --> 0:29:27.880
<v Speaker 1>financially supporting him, put my house on the market and

0:29:27.920 --> 0:29:29.840
<v Speaker 1>then ended up having to sell it just to cover

0:29:29.960 --> 0:29:31.760
<v Speaker 1>my debt, and you know, because I'm about to have

0:29:31.800 --> 0:29:34.920
<v Speaker 1>a baby. Holy crap. How long were you guys together

0:29:34.920 --> 0:29:37.920
<v Speaker 1>before you get pregnant? Um, I think it was a

0:29:38.000 --> 0:29:40.440
<v Speaker 1>year and a year and a half. I don't. Yeah,

0:29:40.640 --> 0:29:42.720
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't It was that was fast. And also too,

0:29:43.480 --> 0:29:45.840
<v Speaker 1>he was a doctor, so he insisted that we don't

0:29:45.920 --> 0:29:47.600
<v Speaker 1>use any kind of birth control or whatever. He's like, oh,

0:29:47.640 --> 0:29:49.880
<v Speaker 1>if I pull out, you won't get pregnant, he said,

0:29:50.680 --> 0:29:53.360
<v Speaker 1>And I believed him because he was a doctor. And

0:29:53.480 --> 0:29:56.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, like part of me kept saying, well, and

0:29:56.280 --> 0:29:59.320
<v Speaker 1>he's like, oh, statistically it's not possible, And yeah, I

0:29:59.600 --> 0:30:02.600
<v Speaker 1>get the that there's my book is Everything not to

0:30:02.720 --> 0:30:06.360
<v Speaker 1>do in a relationship For our listeners out there, the

0:30:06.480 --> 0:30:10.160
<v Speaker 1>pull out method is not scientifically proven to be proof.

0:30:10.320 --> 0:30:12.920
<v Speaker 1>And even if a doctor tells you that it is,

0:30:12.920 --> 0:30:15.600
<v Speaker 1>it's not like trust me, I got pregnant. But wait,

0:30:15.640 --> 0:30:18.680
<v Speaker 1>he wasn't a doctor. We don't know. I wasn't able,

0:30:18.920 --> 0:30:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Like it's so complicated, Like even during our trial, the

0:30:22.240 --> 0:30:24.800
<v Speaker 1>judge said, do I think he went to medical school? Yeah?

0:30:24.960 --> 0:30:27.240
<v Speaker 1>But are you a doctor? I think that's a technicality

0:30:27.480 --> 0:30:29.840
<v Speaker 1>because his time here. He didn't even know in my

0:30:29.880 --> 0:30:32.120
<v Speaker 1>trial like a W nine like a W two was

0:30:32.240 --> 0:30:35.080
<v Speaker 1>or ten ninety nine, or he had never practiced medicine

0:30:35.080 --> 0:30:37.600
<v Speaker 1>in the United States. And during my birth he didn't

0:30:37.600 --> 0:30:40.320
<v Speaker 1>know his glove size and didn't know certain things like

0:30:40.320 --> 0:30:42.080
<v Speaker 1>if you're a doctor, you know you're like small, medium

0:30:42.160 --> 0:30:44.040
<v Speaker 1>or large, like in a glove. And he was like,

0:30:44.360 --> 0:30:47.120
<v Speaker 1>She's like, but he may have had a PhD. We don't.

0:30:47.160 --> 0:30:49.000
<v Speaker 1>We just I don't know. I just And then even

0:30:49.000 --> 0:30:51.640
<v Speaker 1>within investigator, there's no like there's so many things that

0:30:51.680 --> 0:30:53.840
<v Speaker 1>I just don't know. But I know a lot of

0:30:53.840 --> 0:30:58.640
<v Speaker 1>our relationship were really artful lies. It's it's fascinating scrolling

0:30:58.640 --> 0:31:00.719
<v Speaker 1>through the the just kind of a timeline of your

0:31:00.760 --> 0:31:05.520
<v Speaker 1>YouTube videos. Yeah, fun, happy song parodies, parody videos, and

0:31:05.560 --> 0:31:08.360
<v Speaker 1>then with him it looks like some of these yeah,

0:31:08.360 --> 0:31:12.160
<v Speaker 1>I um, it was his idea. He but it was

0:31:12.200 --> 0:31:14.360
<v Speaker 1>his idea when I was sick because I couldn't do

0:31:14.400 --> 0:31:17.760
<v Speaker 1>like my normal, like um, high production value videos. So

0:31:17.760 --> 0:31:19.840
<v Speaker 1>He's like, let's start vlogging. And I was like, I've

0:31:19.880 --> 0:31:21.920
<v Speaker 1>never been someone who wanted to put my life out

0:31:21.960 --> 0:31:23.920
<v Speaker 1>like that, because you do open yourself up to a

0:31:23.920 --> 0:31:26.760
<v Speaker 1>lot of criticism when you start vlogging and whatnot, because

0:31:27.120 --> 0:31:29.320
<v Speaker 1>this is your life, so people can question even which

0:31:29.560 --> 0:31:32.000
<v Speaker 1>just like dish stipy, it was like that people judge

0:31:32.040 --> 0:31:33.960
<v Speaker 1>anything and everything and you have to have a really

0:31:33.960 --> 0:31:36.320
<v Speaker 1>thick skin for it. But I started doing it and

0:31:36.320 --> 0:31:38.320
<v Speaker 1>then they took off. Like people loved it. It was

0:31:38.360 --> 0:31:40.560
<v Speaker 1>like a Lucy and Daisy kind of thing, like, you know,

0:31:40.640 --> 0:31:43.080
<v Speaker 1>this cute foreigner with an accent and we had a

0:31:43.160 --> 0:31:46.160
<v Speaker 1>giant bulldog that was a ham and me and people

0:31:46.280 --> 0:31:47.840
<v Speaker 1>ate it up, but they didn't really know like all

0:31:47.840 --> 0:31:50.520
<v Speaker 1>the abuse that was happening in the background and even

0:31:50.560 --> 0:31:52.400
<v Speaker 1>some of my video titles. I was trying to like

0:31:52.440 --> 0:31:55.080
<v Speaker 1>tip people off, like I feel trapped or whatever, but

0:31:55.120 --> 0:31:57.360
<v Speaker 1>it would have nothing to do with the video. But

0:31:57.400 --> 0:31:59.880
<v Speaker 1>I so badly wanted to tell people what was going on.

0:32:00.320 --> 0:32:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Why didn't you feel like you couldn't spear? Yeah? I

0:32:04.160 --> 0:32:06.160
<v Speaker 1>mean he used a lot of like scare and fear

0:32:06.200 --> 0:32:09.240
<v Speaker 1>tactics and probably will continue my entire life to do so.

0:32:09.400 --> 0:32:12.200
<v Speaker 1>But like any like victim will tell you, when they

0:32:12.240 --> 0:32:14.160
<v Speaker 1>get away and they get into a healthy environment, you

0:32:14.160 --> 0:32:16.240
<v Speaker 1>get your strength back, and then you get your voice back,

0:32:16.240 --> 0:32:18.560
<v Speaker 1>and then you get angry and you're still scared, but

0:32:18.680 --> 0:32:21.760
<v Speaker 1>you like you have this need to want to share

0:32:21.800 --> 0:32:24.600
<v Speaker 1>what happened and protect other people from your pain. Yeah,

0:32:24.680 --> 0:32:27.120
<v Speaker 1>and is this what the book is about? It's all

0:32:27.120 --> 0:32:30.600
<v Speaker 1>it's the I I literally wrote it like a narrative

0:32:30.640 --> 0:32:33.520
<v Speaker 1>where I don't it's not a normal memoir. Why this happened?

0:32:33.560 --> 0:32:35.880
<v Speaker 1>Here's my thoughts on that, here's the lessons I wrote

0:32:35.880 --> 0:32:38.960
<v Speaker 1>it like from start to finish as I was living it.

0:32:39.400 --> 0:32:42.520
<v Speaker 1>This is the story of our relationships. So people can

0:32:42.960 --> 0:32:44.760
<v Speaker 1>figure out what they want to take out of it.

0:32:44.800 --> 0:32:46.880
<v Speaker 1>I didn't want to tell people what to think. They

0:32:46.880 --> 0:32:49.240
<v Speaker 1>can figure out what I did wrong just by reading it. Yeah,

0:32:49.240 --> 0:32:51.880
<v Speaker 1>it seems like a questionary tale. A tale on a

0:32:51.880 --> 0:32:55.640
<v Speaker 1>few different levels. Yeah, one on online dating and then

0:32:55.800 --> 0:32:58.200
<v Speaker 1>for the more with a more serious issue, which is

0:32:59.000 --> 0:33:01.920
<v Speaker 1>domestic violence. Yeah, and also just like doing your homework.

0:33:02.000 --> 0:33:04.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's not I think that you know, I

0:33:04.160 --> 0:33:06.600
<v Speaker 1>was just so trusting. I think that was my biggest mistake.

0:33:07.120 --> 0:33:09.080
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I don't want to tell people not

0:33:09.160 --> 0:33:11.000
<v Speaker 1>to be trusting, but you really do need to do

0:33:11.040 --> 0:33:13.320
<v Speaker 1>your homework, like see if people work where they say

0:33:13.360 --> 0:33:16.000
<v Speaker 1>they work, or know who they say they know. And

0:33:16.080 --> 0:33:18.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, if if you know four or five six

0:33:18.800 --> 0:33:21.320
<v Speaker 1>times it all lines up, then you probably can trust them.

0:33:21.400 --> 0:33:24.480
<v Speaker 1>But you can't just believe everyone everything that everyone says

0:33:24.600 --> 0:33:27.920
<v Speaker 1>at face value. No, I completely agree. Actually, there was

0:33:27.960 --> 0:33:30.360
<v Speaker 1>an l A l A Times article that came out

0:33:31.160 --> 0:33:34.360
<v Speaker 1>I think it was it was last year, and it says, um,

0:33:34.520 --> 0:33:38.120
<v Speaker 1>seven safety tips to remember for online dating. Um, but

0:33:38.160 --> 0:33:41.920
<v Speaker 1>it's it's I'm so single forever now. Well, it's just

0:33:41.960 --> 0:33:44.760
<v Speaker 1>more so like like you said, questionnaire tales of doing

0:33:44.760 --> 0:33:47.520
<v Speaker 1>your homework junior research. For example, number one is tell

0:33:47.600 --> 0:33:50.240
<v Speaker 1>someone tell someone that you're going on a day. Yeah,

0:33:50.240 --> 0:33:52.920
<v Speaker 1>it's smart and it's very smart, right, so your friends

0:33:52.920 --> 0:33:54.720
<v Speaker 1>know where you're at that you're supposed to be here

0:33:54.760 --> 0:33:57.680
<v Speaker 1>at this certain time with this particular person, because I

0:33:57.720 --> 0:34:01.120
<v Speaker 1>advocate online dating using apps. Yeah, all too busy, like

0:34:01.200 --> 0:34:03.240
<v Speaker 1>all too busy. I was just I would have never

0:34:03.440 --> 0:34:05.280
<v Speaker 1>like I would have never been with anyone. I was

0:34:05.320 --> 0:34:07.040
<v Speaker 1>just sitting in my house working all day like a troll,

0:34:07.120 --> 0:34:09.920
<v Speaker 1>with my my curtains, clothes and editing like I. You know,

0:34:09.960 --> 0:34:12.279
<v Speaker 1>I didn't see people sometimes for a week, like I.

0:34:12.560 --> 0:34:14.920
<v Speaker 1>You know. Technology is not a bad thing. No, not

0:34:14.960 --> 0:34:16.440
<v Speaker 1>a bad thing at all, but you have to use

0:34:16.480 --> 0:34:19.319
<v Speaker 1>it smartly. Right. And then it's says number two, go

0:34:19.480 --> 0:34:22.920
<v Speaker 1>easy on the alcohol. Sorry for the buzz kill, but

0:34:23.040 --> 0:34:25.600
<v Speaker 1>they advised making the first day alcohol free, which I

0:34:25.640 --> 0:34:30.640
<v Speaker 1>always advocate a coffee day. Anyway, I'm alone, I regress.

0:34:30.680 --> 0:34:33.480
<v Speaker 1>I never drink so like I become five. So I

0:34:33.520 --> 0:34:35.400
<v Speaker 1>am always the d D. So I go along and

0:34:35.400 --> 0:34:37.600
<v Speaker 1>tell im they call me the librarian. I tell everyone

0:34:37.600 --> 0:34:38.960
<v Speaker 1>what happened the next day, and I have a ton

0:34:38.960 --> 0:34:42.400
<v Speaker 1>of fun because I'm witning, like witnessing all the shenanigans,

0:34:42.880 --> 0:34:46.239
<v Speaker 1>but I'm never participating. It's always better witnessing the shenanigans

0:34:46.239 --> 0:34:49.520
<v Speaker 1>than being a part of the um. It says three,

0:34:49.640 --> 0:34:53.479
<v Speaker 1>limit the personal data you reveal um so it says,

0:34:53.480 --> 0:34:56.960
<v Speaker 1>goes this goes beyond a tender day. Practice a little discretion.

0:34:57.560 --> 0:35:00.160
<v Speaker 1>You don't want personal details, such a true address, as

0:35:00.200 --> 0:35:03.919
<v Speaker 1>precisely where you plan to be on Saturday night, things

0:35:03.960 --> 0:35:06.160
<v Speaker 1>that are very specific. They say, stay away from that,

0:35:06.200 --> 0:35:08.560
<v Speaker 1>specifically on the first day, because while you're meeting someone,

0:35:08.840 --> 0:35:12.040
<v Speaker 1>they are still strangers, says number four. Do a little

0:35:12.160 --> 0:35:16.720
<v Speaker 1>online sleeping. So google pretty much the person you're meeting,

0:35:16.840 --> 0:35:19.759
<v Speaker 1>which I I think so too. I googled him, But

0:35:20.000 --> 0:35:22.840
<v Speaker 1>there were websites that may or may not be legitimate,

0:35:23.000 --> 0:35:25.160
<v Speaker 1>so you can't even trust that. What do you mean,

0:35:25.400 --> 0:35:27.200
<v Speaker 1>Like there were things where he was on like a

0:35:27.280 --> 0:35:30.719
<v Speaker 1>vape board as a doctor, like you know, who know this?

0:35:30.880 --> 0:35:32.640
<v Speaker 1>This company went out of business and it has a

0:35:32.640 --> 0:35:35.399
<v Speaker 1>picture of him like his you know cousin if it's

0:35:35.400 --> 0:35:37.800
<v Speaker 1>his cousin took it and yeah, I know that now.

0:35:38.080 --> 0:35:40.520
<v Speaker 1>But like just because he's a doctor on a website

0:35:40.520 --> 0:35:42.600
<v Speaker 1>for vaping doesn't mean it's actually a doctor totally. And

0:35:42.640 --> 0:35:44.680
<v Speaker 1>they say, I was, I don't know if it's this

0:35:44.800 --> 0:35:46.680
<v Speaker 1>article another one, but the same thing when you look

0:35:46.719 --> 0:35:49.400
<v Speaker 1>up somebody on social media, just be smart if they have,

0:35:49.800 --> 0:35:53.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, one picture with zero followers or so on,

0:35:53.880 --> 0:35:58.160
<v Speaker 1>like just you know, become your own a little investigator,

0:35:58.320 --> 0:36:00.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, go a little deeper because it is a

0:36:00.440 --> 0:36:04.600
<v Speaker 1>little scary. Number five is they say talk actually talk

0:36:04.880 --> 0:36:07.640
<v Speaker 1>before the first date. So that's another question that we

0:36:07.719 --> 0:36:10.080
<v Speaker 1>brought up, talk about like either face timing before a

0:36:10.160 --> 0:36:12.560
<v Speaker 1>first day or calling them making sure that this is

0:36:12.600 --> 0:36:16.160
<v Speaker 1>an actual Yeah. I I probably save you some from

0:36:16.200 --> 0:36:17.920
<v Speaker 1>some like weird dates too, because you know there's those

0:36:17.920 --> 0:36:19.359
<v Speaker 1>ones that are really pretty and then you get around

0:36:19.360 --> 0:36:22.320
<v Speaker 1>and we're like, oh no, no, no, yeah, yeah, that

0:36:22.360 --> 0:36:25.200
<v Speaker 1>probably would would help. Um. And then number six says

0:36:25.239 --> 0:36:29.120
<v Speaker 1>they're safety in crowds. Always meet up with somebody, um,

0:36:29.160 --> 0:36:31.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, at a bar. Never go to a hotel,

0:36:31.960 --> 0:36:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Never go to and I even like even at a

0:36:34.160 --> 0:36:36.239
<v Speaker 1>bar at a hotel, I'd probably stay away from because

0:36:36.239 --> 0:36:39.400
<v Speaker 1>that's just I'm with you on coffee or a lunch.

0:36:39.560 --> 0:36:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Say something's like safe. I agree, because I completely advocate

0:36:44.520 --> 0:36:46.320
<v Speaker 1>using online dating, but you just have to use it

0:36:46.400 --> 0:36:48.879
<v Speaker 1>smartly and make sure that you know, like we talked

0:36:48.920 --> 0:36:51.040
<v Speaker 1>about being in a public place, make sure you tell

0:36:51.040 --> 0:36:54.680
<v Speaker 1>your friends where you're gonna be. Um. And then it

0:36:54.760 --> 0:36:58.879
<v Speaker 1>says number seven go home alone. Uh, you know, try

0:36:58.960 --> 0:37:01.000
<v Speaker 1>to do your best to not have this turn into

0:37:01.000 --> 0:37:03.839
<v Speaker 1>an overnight date. Um. But it's all true, you know,

0:37:03.880 --> 0:37:06.560
<v Speaker 1>it's it's it's it's the modern world we live in,

0:37:06.960 --> 0:37:08.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, and it's it's one of those things. I

0:37:08.480 --> 0:37:11.600
<v Speaker 1>feel like we either adapt or we die. Um and

0:37:11.640 --> 0:37:13.560
<v Speaker 1>in this case, we either adapt or we die alone

0:37:13.719 --> 0:37:16.600
<v Speaker 1>exactly because it really is just everybody's meeting each other

0:37:16.640 --> 0:37:19.480
<v Speaker 1>online and there's nothing wrong with that, but you have

0:37:19.600 --> 0:37:22.719
<v Speaker 1>to just like yourself, you know. It's just like, yeah,

0:37:22.840 --> 0:37:25.520
<v Speaker 1>but if someone's coming on really strong, if like you know,

0:37:25.560 --> 0:37:27.400
<v Speaker 1>they're saying it's first sight, if they want to marry

0:37:27.440 --> 0:37:30.360
<v Speaker 1>you right away, if they're controlling you, if they're isolating you,

0:37:30.400 --> 0:37:32.960
<v Speaker 1>there are things that are just behavior people that are

0:37:32.960 --> 0:37:35.120
<v Speaker 1>going to be toxic. It reminds me of the Dirty John,

0:37:35.560 --> 0:37:37.759
<v Speaker 1>you know. What's so funny because it's very similar but

0:37:37.840 --> 0:37:40.000
<v Speaker 1>not like you know, no one tried to kill me

0:37:40.040 --> 0:37:42.640
<v Speaker 1>in the end, Like what's a dirty jomp? Oh, you

0:37:42.680 --> 0:37:45.120
<v Speaker 1>need to listen to it, but it's it's it's very similar,

0:37:45.160 --> 0:37:47.120
<v Speaker 1>but it's we always say it's like a younger European

0:37:47.120 --> 0:37:51.120
<v Speaker 1>Dirty John, like but like you know, listening to hers,

0:37:51.239 --> 0:37:54.719
<v Speaker 1>there are some similarities and what's even Yeah, but what's

0:37:54.719 --> 0:37:58.320
<v Speaker 1>even creepier is my my ex was in Newport Beach

0:37:58.440 --> 0:37:59.840
<v Speaker 1>for a while, So I'm like, didn't you know this

0:38:00.040 --> 0:38:02.680
<v Speaker 1>styre liked? He like? Was that his mentor? I don't

0:38:02.719 --> 0:38:04.440
<v Speaker 1>know if you don't know. It's a great podcast. The

0:38:04.440 --> 0:38:06.600
<v Speaker 1>Only Times put it out. It's about a truth story

0:38:06.640 --> 0:38:09.480
<v Speaker 1>and Orange County of a guy who pretended to be

0:38:09.520 --> 0:38:11.560
<v Speaker 1>a doctor between to be all these things and scammed

0:38:11.560 --> 0:38:13.000
<v Speaker 1>this woman out a whole bunch of money and she

0:38:13.040 --> 0:38:15.399
<v Speaker 1>supported him for a long period of time, ended up.

0:38:16.719 --> 0:38:19.560
<v Speaker 1>Don't give away. Yes, it's really good and now it's

0:38:19.560 --> 0:38:22.439
<v Speaker 1>a series on Bravo. Yeah, I think it's on Bravo. Yeah,

0:38:22.440 --> 0:38:24.959
<v Speaker 1>with Connie Britain. Yeah, there's there. Yeah, there's some because

0:38:25.000 --> 0:38:27.880
<v Speaker 1>it's people that are like that, that are Connorist or whatever.

0:38:27.920 --> 0:38:32.919
<v Speaker 1>They do have certain taxs you can't stay because I yes,

0:38:33.040 --> 0:38:35.319
<v Speaker 1>but there are certain things like he definitely, you know,

0:38:35.719 --> 0:38:37.680
<v Speaker 1>faked an illness at one point and try to get

0:38:37.680 --> 0:38:40.640
<v Speaker 1>my bank account information and there was definitely a lot

0:38:40.880 --> 0:38:42.839
<v Speaker 1>going on or like you know, tricked me into giving

0:38:42.920 --> 0:38:46.080
<v Speaker 1>him like our all our pernent documents like social Security

0:38:46.160 --> 0:38:48.239
<v Speaker 1>cards and whatnot because he said he was dying and

0:38:48.520 --> 0:38:50.719
<v Speaker 1>wanted to put land in our name, like for my

0:38:50.760 --> 0:38:52.920
<v Speaker 1>son and I. But now I'm like, yeah, you're just

0:38:52.960 --> 0:38:56.040
<v Speaker 1>like covering your head. Yared, No fixed my head. I thought.

0:38:56.320 --> 0:38:58.640
<v Speaker 1>I thought you're going like, oh God, So, like you know,

0:38:58.960 --> 0:39:01.200
<v Speaker 1>I've had to freeze my credit and all that stuff.

0:39:01.239 --> 0:39:04.960
<v Speaker 1>So but people like John and Dirty John or my

0:39:05.120 --> 0:39:08.399
<v Speaker 1>guy me lotion in my you know, life, they all

0:39:08.480 --> 0:39:10.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of operate the same. And I think the more

0:39:10.600 --> 0:39:13.439
<v Speaker 1>that people come forward, it educates everyone because there's only

0:39:13.480 --> 0:39:16.759
<v Speaker 1>certain tactics that work. Like if if someone comes and

0:39:16.800 --> 0:39:19.200
<v Speaker 1>thinks you are the you know, the besknees from the

0:39:19.239 --> 0:39:21.959
<v Speaker 1>start and comes on strong and you are perfect, something

0:39:22.000 --> 0:39:25.759
<v Speaker 1>that's wrong, but exactly that they know that. They know

0:39:25.920 --> 0:39:28.359
<v Speaker 1>that that's what women fall for it or or men,

0:39:28.680 --> 0:39:30.799
<v Speaker 1>because like one in four women in their lifetime will

0:39:30.800 --> 0:39:33.640
<v Speaker 1>experience domestic violence and one in nine men in our

0:39:33.680 --> 0:39:37.399
<v Speaker 1>lifetime will experience some form of it. So, like, you know,

0:39:37.520 --> 0:39:40.440
<v Speaker 1>if if everyone is aware of the tactics these people use,

0:39:40.480 --> 0:39:41.839
<v Speaker 1>they're not gonna be able to do it because there's

0:39:41.880 --> 0:39:43.560
<v Speaker 1>only so many things that work. What are some of

0:39:43.600 --> 0:39:46.320
<v Speaker 1>the tactics, Like I said, come on strong, you're perfect.

0:39:46.400 --> 0:39:48.319
<v Speaker 1>They want to marry you. Let's say, like, yeah, I

0:39:48.360 --> 0:39:51.759
<v Speaker 1>was saying isolation. Um. They also figure out a way

0:39:51.760 --> 0:39:53.799
<v Speaker 1>for you to take care of their problems all the time.

0:39:53.840 --> 0:39:56.520
<v Speaker 1>They'll they'll give you a sob story like in crying,

0:39:56.560 --> 0:39:59.360
<v Speaker 1>and you feel the need to have to and a

0:39:59.440 --> 0:40:01.640
<v Speaker 1>lot of times ends up being money. So it's always

0:40:01.640 --> 0:40:04.440
<v Speaker 1>like I can't pay for like my car because of whatever.

0:40:04.520 --> 0:40:06.560
<v Speaker 1>And then you're like, okay, well I'll take out a

0:40:06.600 --> 0:40:10.200
<v Speaker 1>car loan so you won't pay on your interest because

0:40:10.200 --> 0:40:12.600
<v Speaker 1>i'm you know, an immigrants and they have no you know,

0:40:12.680 --> 0:40:14.680
<v Speaker 1>he said he had no credit so it would have

0:40:14.680 --> 0:40:17.799
<v Speaker 1>been like through. So I was like, okay, Then I

0:40:17.840 --> 0:40:19.839
<v Speaker 1>took out a car loan in his in my name,

0:40:20.160 --> 0:40:21.680
<v Speaker 1>and then before you know what, I was paying the

0:40:21.719 --> 0:40:23.800
<v Speaker 1>car payments too when he was to pay the car payments.

0:40:23.840 --> 0:40:25.439
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I hear these stories all the time

0:40:25.560 --> 0:40:28.920
<v Speaker 1>from a catfish standpoint, where it's a lot of online

0:40:29.000 --> 0:40:31.760
<v Speaker 1>meeting up chat rooms, and then it's somebody who's fallen

0:40:31.760 --> 0:40:33.880
<v Speaker 1>in love with this person and then it ends up

0:40:33.920 --> 0:40:35.600
<v Speaker 1>being a scam and they're just trying to get money

0:40:35.640 --> 0:40:37.319
<v Speaker 1>and they're like, no, I need money to come to

0:40:37.360 --> 0:40:39.719
<v Speaker 1>the United States, and can you please send me ten

0:40:39.760 --> 0:40:42.200
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars and I can come to you blah blah blah.

0:40:42.239 --> 0:40:44.400
<v Speaker 1>But in you're a case, this was very personal. But

0:40:44.440 --> 0:40:47.040
<v Speaker 1>mine makes no sense too because the the you know,

0:40:47.080 --> 0:40:49.160
<v Speaker 1>the woman that he was married to, she was a

0:40:49.160 --> 0:40:51.839
<v Speaker 1>trust fund but baby with a ton of money. I'm

0:40:51.880 --> 0:40:54.719
<v Speaker 1>not like you know, I've done okay for myself, but

0:40:54.880 --> 0:40:58.040
<v Speaker 1>like she before she took down her social media had

0:40:58.360 --> 0:41:00.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, pictures of her on a yacht and private planes,

0:41:00.920 --> 0:41:02.680
<v Speaker 1>and like the car he was driving, and all his

0:41:02.760 --> 0:41:04.840
<v Speaker 1>luxuries that he had when he met me were probably

0:41:04.840 --> 0:41:08.919
<v Speaker 1>purchased by her. So why me? Like he left that

0:41:09.320 --> 0:41:10.880
<v Speaker 1>to be with me. So I don't know if he

0:41:11.000 --> 0:41:13.440
<v Speaker 1>just found me more of a challenge and more interesting,

0:41:13.640 --> 0:41:15.920
<v Speaker 1>or was sick of sleeping with someone who was twice

0:41:15.920 --> 0:41:19.560
<v Speaker 1>his age, or or what. I still don't understand why

0:41:19.640 --> 0:41:21.279
<v Speaker 1>he because he used to tell me all the time,

0:41:21.280 --> 0:41:23.120
<v Speaker 1>I had everything when I met you. I had everything

0:41:23.120 --> 0:41:25.799
<v Speaker 1>when I met you, and I kept thinking it always

0:41:25.840 --> 0:41:27.520
<v Speaker 1>put the blame on me and made me feel like

0:41:27.560 --> 0:41:29.759
<v Speaker 1>I had to work harder or give more because he

0:41:29.840 --> 0:41:32.600
<v Speaker 1>lost so much being with me. Do you know why

0:41:32.840 --> 0:41:38.400
<v Speaker 1>you were a target for him? And because I know

0:41:38.560 --> 0:41:40.520
<v Speaker 1>you all you would blame yourself in this situation, and

0:41:40.560 --> 0:41:42.600
<v Speaker 1>of course there's no reason to do that, of course,

0:41:42.719 --> 0:41:45.160
<v Speaker 1>but do you know what about you, because like you said,

0:41:45.200 --> 0:41:49.359
<v Speaker 1>you're not on yachts on social media. Why he targeted you?

0:41:50.040 --> 0:41:52.760
<v Speaker 1>Because somebody has all these followers on YouTube, they must

0:41:52.360 --> 0:41:54.800
<v Speaker 1>exactly what. I was a billionaire because but he he

0:41:54.880 --> 0:41:57.720
<v Speaker 1>knew even then, he knew my finances and she was like,

0:41:57.719 --> 0:42:00.960
<v Speaker 1>like a multimillionaire if not billionaire, and I'm not. I

0:42:01.000 --> 0:42:04.200
<v Speaker 1>had one little cute house in Highland Park that I

0:42:04.280 --> 0:42:07.080
<v Speaker 1>busted my butt to buy that was square feet like.

0:42:07.120 --> 0:42:08.640
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't rolling in the dough. I had a Mini

0:42:08.680 --> 0:42:11.839
<v Speaker 1>Cooper like, it wasn't like you know, but people, I

0:42:11.880 --> 0:42:16.160
<v Speaker 1>feel like people see YouTube celebrities, YouTube stars with a

0:42:16.160 --> 0:42:20.480
<v Speaker 1>big following and immediately assume that they're famous and rich,

0:42:20.840 --> 0:42:23.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, and some are, but I feel like even

0:42:23.760 --> 0:42:25.919
<v Speaker 1>you really have to get to an extreme level though,

0:42:25.960 --> 0:42:27.719
<v Speaker 1>to get to that point, because like even the brand

0:42:27.719 --> 0:42:29.680
<v Speaker 1>deals were usually just keeping the lights on and paying

0:42:29.680 --> 0:42:32.960
<v Speaker 1>the production value absolutely, and furthermore, even not just YouTube

0:42:32.960 --> 0:42:36.880
<v Speaker 1>stars but reality TV stars, Like you're seen on people like,

0:42:36.880 --> 0:42:38.879
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, you're famous and rich, and it's like,

0:42:38.960 --> 0:42:42.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, you don't know how this works, because it's

0:42:42.440 --> 0:42:45.040
<v Speaker 1>the complete opposite. I remember when I first went I

0:42:45.040 --> 0:42:47.480
<v Speaker 1>went back to work right after the show, and people

0:42:47.480 --> 0:42:49.400
<v Speaker 1>are like, what do you what are you doing here?

0:42:49.400 --> 0:42:51.160
<v Speaker 1>Why are you working here? I was like, what do

0:42:51.239 --> 0:42:52.640
<v Speaker 1>you mean? Why am I working here? I need to

0:42:52.640 --> 0:42:55.600
<v Speaker 1>pay the bills. They just immediately assume. If they see

0:42:55.600 --> 0:42:57.320
<v Speaker 1>you on TV or if you have a big following

0:42:57.360 --> 0:42:59.759
<v Speaker 1>on YouTube or social media, it's like, oh you are

0:43:00.160 --> 0:43:03.520
<v Speaker 1>You're set for life. But she had millions? Why leave

0:43:03.600 --> 0:43:06.960
<v Speaker 1>that for me? Maybe she started catching on. It's a

0:43:06.960 --> 0:43:09.600
<v Speaker 1>lot of unanswered questions. I finally could be a fly

0:43:09.680 --> 0:43:11.520
<v Speaker 1>on the wall. I feel like, you know, talk to

0:43:11.560 --> 0:43:13.440
<v Speaker 1>me twenty years from now, and I'll probably have more information.

0:43:13.480 --> 0:43:16.359
<v Speaker 1>I guess I'm a little confused too, because throughout this timeline. So,

0:43:16.520 --> 0:43:18.600
<v Speaker 1>what was the first time he started really showing red

0:43:18.600 --> 0:43:21.560
<v Speaker 1>flags like this? Yeah, the first indicator that he's not

0:43:21.600 --> 0:43:24.680
<v Speaker 1>what you think he is. The first indicator was I

0:43:24.680 --> 0:43:26.359
<v Speaker 1>think when, and I think I knew in my gut

0:43:26.520 --> 0:43:28.640
<v Speaker 1>is when? Um. I mean I knew from the start

0:43:28.680 --> 0:43:30.480
<v Speaker 1>that something was not right, but he was just so

0:43:30.560 --> 0:43:34.480
<v Speaker 1>pretty that I was like, really, like, men got crushes

0:43:34.520 --> 0:43:36.160
<v Speaker 1>on him more? If I went all my guy friends.

0:43:36.360 --> 0:43:37.719
<v Speaker 1>Like when he let me hang out with people in

0:43:37.719 --> 0:43:39.920
<v Speaker 1>the start, I would just want to like, boy, bru,

0:43:40.080 --> 0:43:42.359
<v Speaker 1>let's go play basketball, Like they all got a crush

0:43:42.400 --> 0:43:44.600
<v Speaker 1>on him. He was just extremely good looking and charismatic.

0:43:44.680 --> 0:43:47.560
<v Speaker 1>And um, I think that when I he the woman

0:43:48.120 --> 0:43:50.600
<v Speaker 1>sent those messages. I remember I was doing a branded

0:43:50.680 --> 0:43:52.360
<v Speaker 1>job for a big TV show and I just shoot

0:43:52.400 --> 0:43:54.640
<v Speaker 1>that night and I got these emails, you know, come

0:43:54.680 --> 0:43:58.200
<v Speaker 1>in from this woman named Bunny with all these screenshots

0:43:58.200 --> 0:44:00.000
<v Speaker 1>of their stuff, and she's like he's lying, don't believe

0:44:00.040 --> 0:44:01.719
<v Speaker 1>eve him. And then that's when he's like, you know,

0:44:01.760 --> 0:44:04.000
<v Speaker 1>she's trying to blackmail me. I couldn't let it go

0:44:04.080 --> 0:44:05.840
<v Speaker 1>because I was actually I booked a job for a

0:44:05.840 --> 0:44:09.000
<v Speaker 1>big car company, so I was flying to Detroit the

0:44:09.080 --> 0:44:11.480
<v Speaker 1>next day and I was on deadline to get this

0:44:11.600 --> 0:44:13.479
<v Speaker 1>video finished. And I remember milo she was just sitting

0:44:13.520 --> 0:44:16.000
<v Speaker 1>on the floor crying, and I'm like trying to edit

0:44:16.160 --> 0:44:19.280
<v Speaker 1>and process everything. And then on the plane ride to Detroit,

0:44:19.360 --> 0:44:23.640
<v Speaker 1>I just kept obsessing about the messages and I couldn't. Like,

0:44:23.680 --> 0:44:25.239
<v Speaker 1>even my mom said, you know, let it go. He

0:44:25.239 --> 0:44:27.399
<v Speaker 1>didn't do it, but I would check her Instagram because

0:44:27.400 --> 0:44:31.800
<v Speaker 1>it made sense. Like she looked like someone who Milosh

0:44:31.880 --> 0:44:34.040
<v Speaker 1>would go after if that even like she was completely

0:44:34.040 --> 0:44:36.760
<v Speaker 1>opposite from me, like I'm more like sweet girl next door, quirky.

0:44:37.160 --> 0:44:39.160
<v Speaker 1>She was like like busting and like bub boom, like

0:44:39.239 --> 0:44:43.400
<v Speaker 1>Jessica Rabbit type. So I understand it's it's believable that

0:44:43.520 --> 0:44:45.200
<v Speaker 1>he could have had an affair with her. Does that

0:44:45.239 --> 0:44:49.319
<v Speaker 1>make sense? So about it was about March of that year,

0:44:49.440 --> 0:44:51.400
<v Speaker 1>I was ready to break it off with him, and

0:44:51.400 --> 0:44:54.440
<v Speaker 1>that's when I found out I was pregnant. So I

0:44:54.480 --> 0:44:56.479
<v Speaker 1>didn't talk to him for five months when I found

0:44:56.480 --> 0:44:58.799
<v Speaker 1>I was pregnant because you know, I I've always wanted

0:44:58.840 --> 0:45:00.160
<v Speaker 1>to have a family that I wanted to be on

0:45:00.239 --> 0:45:02.160
<v Speaker 1>my own terms. And I felt like he kind of

0:45:02.200 --> 0:45:06.000
<v Speaker 1>tricked me because you know, I wasn't using anything and

0:45:05.080 --> 0:45:08.480
<v Speaker 1>he's attack then I was listening to him his advice,

0:45:08.719 --> 0:45:11.560
<v Speaker 1>but um so it was like, you know that was

0:45:11.760 --> 0:45:14.200
<v Speaker 1>that was the biggest red flag was her. And then

0:45:14.400 --> 0:45:16.759
<v Speaker 1>when I finally got to where I sold my house

0:45:16.840 --> 0:45:20.279
<v Speaker 1>we moved to San Diego, then things started to just

0:45:20.400 --> 0:45:22.960
<v Speaker 1>not add up where I was like, this doesn't make

0:45:23.000 --> 0:45:24.799
<v Speaker 1>any sense, but what is he doing all day? Who

0:45:24.840 --> 0:45:27.880
<v Speaker 1>is he talking to? Like and his mom was just crazy,

0:45:27.960 --> 0:45:30.080
<v Speaker 1>and when the moment my son was born, they wanted

0:45:30.120 --> 0:45:32.520
<v Speaker 1>to get my son like Bosnian Serbian citizenship, and then

0:45:32.560 --> 0:45:34.480
<v Speaker 1>they kept talking about going to Serbia when he was

0:45:34.520 --> 0:45:36.560
<v Speaker 1>six months old, and I'm like, wait a minute, I

0:45:36.600 --> 0:45:39.880
<v Speaker 1>won't have citizenship. We go there, he can stay, the

0:45:39.920 --> 0:45:43.439
<v Speaker 1>baby can stay, what about me? And so I tried

0:45:43.480 --> 0:45:45.600
<v Speaker 1>to block it. I emailed like their consulate and whatever,

0:45:45.600 --> 0:45:47.799
<v Speaker 1>and they weren't cooperative at all. But I put on

0:45:47.920 --> 0:45:50.759
<v Speaker 1>like his passport, O noticed, so if anyone tried to

0:45:50.760 --> 0:45:53.279
<v Speaker 1>apply for a passport for my son that I would

0:45:53.320 --> 0:45:56.320
<v Speaker 1>get notified. So I've done everything to like protect myself.

0:45:56.320 --> 0:45:58.479
<v Speaker 1>Like now my son's complete. His name is completely changed

0:45:58.480 --> 0:46:00.920
<v Speaker 1>because he was born Misha robert A Highlovich because my

0:46:01.360 --> 0:46:04.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, my fiance at the time insisted that he

0:46:04.680 --> 0:46:06.719
<v Speaker 1>have a Serbian name, and I never got to pick

0:46:06.800 --> 0:46:09.319
<v Speaker 1>his name. So the moment I left him, I just

0:46:09.320 --> 0:46:11.200
<v Speaker 1>started calling it. I just couldn't handle anymore. I started

0:46:11.200 --> 0:46:13.560
<v Speaker 1>calling him Rex and he loved it. He was just smiling, giggle.

0:46:13.719 --> 0:46:16.080
<v Speaker 1>So now it's legally changed. We went went through the

0:46:16.080 --> 0:46:18.279
<v Speaker 1>process and a judge is like after I presented all

0:46:18.320 --> 0:46:20.880
<v Speaker 1>the evidence, was like, yep, you have do yep, Okay,

0:46:21.480 --> 0:46:24.319
<v Speaker 1>like signed off right away about it? Stant the Rex Rex?

0:46:24.400 --> 0:46:27.360
<v Speaker 1>It is, yeah, but but I mean the every police

0:46:27.400 --> 0:46:30.240
<v Speaker 1>officer we've talked to says, don't get your son a passport,

0:46:30.760 --> 0:46:37.040
<v Speaker 1>don't leave the country. Don't like. Yeah, I'm still terrified,

0:46:37.080 --> 0:46:38.400
<v Speaker 1>but like you know, for me, I'm like, do I

0:46:38.400 --> 0:46:40.920
<v Speaker 1>live my whole life and fear No, Like I I

0:46:40.960 --> 0:46:42.880
<v Speaker 1>talked about in the book, I'm like their safety and numbers,

0:46:42.920 --> 0:46:44.839
<v Speaker 1>and I feel like it's better for everyone to know

0:46:44.880 --> 0:46:47.080
<v Speaker 1>what happened to me, and when I'm out in public,

0:46:47.120 --> 0:46:49.279
<v Speaker 1>know what Rex looks like, what I look like. Then

0:46:49.360 --> 0:46:52.040
<v Speaker 1>only a few handful of people know what happened to me.

0:46:52.800 --> 0:46:55.120
<v Speaker 1>So and women like me should not have to be

0:46:55.200 --> 0:46:58.120
<v Speaker 1>quiet about this, No, absolutely not. I should always be

0:46:58.160 --> 0:47:00.759
<v Speaker 1>able to speak up. How did you? I mean, it's

0:47:00.760 --> 0:47:02.319
<v Speaker 1>your book, I don't You may don't want to give

0:47:02.280 --> 0:47:04.719
<v Speaker 1>away anything. Well, let's let's see. Let's go there. And

0:47:04.719 --> 0:47:06.360
<v Speaker 1>I want to know how you escaped. I don't know.

0:47:06.640 --> 0:47:08.799
<v Speaker 1>I did this finally once and for all, when I

0:47:08.840 --> 0:47:11.520
<v Speaker 1>finally decided to leave him. That's always the hardest part.

0:47:11.600 --> 0:47:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Like you need a plan, especially when you're with someone

0:47:13.200 --> 0:47:16.600
<v Speaker 1>who's abusive and controlling like you can't because if you've

0:47:16.600 --> 0:47:18.080
<v Speaker 1>been beat down a lot a lot of times, they

0:47:18.080 --> 0:47:20.279
<v Speaker 1>can convince you to keep to stay. And you know

0:47:20.360 --> 0:47:22.400
<v Speaker 1>that about yourself. You're like, if he talks to me

0:47:22.480 --> 0:47:25.239
<v Speaker 1>for three or four hours, I will probably give in

0:47:25.280 --> 0:47:28.640
<v Speaker 1>and not leave. So we we basically tricked them. My

0:47:28.719 --> 0:47:32.280
<v Speaker 1>mom came over for her. She used to antique buying trips,

0:47:32.440 --> 0:47:34.600
<v Speaker 1>so it was a legitimate reason. I'm like, my mom's coming.

0:47:34.640 --> 0:47:36.600
<v Speaker 1>And then I was switching to new management here in

0:47:36.760 --> 0:47:39.000
<v Speaker 1>l A. I had a meeting about a clothing company

0:47:39.000 --> 0:47:41.360
<v Speaker 1>that was going to do like I had legitimate meetings.

0:47:41.840 --> 0:47:43.799
<v Speaker 1>So and my son was still on breast milk. So

0:47:43.800 --> 0:47:45.319
<v Speaker 1>I was like, you know, I can't leave him, you

0:47:45.360 --> 0:47:47.799
<v Speaker 1>know there, he has to come with us. So my mom,

0:47:48.160 --> 0:47:51.319
<v Speaker 1>my son, and I came to l A and I

0:47:51.440 --> 0:47:53.719
<v Speaker 1>had the first day that I let him back in,

0:47:53.920 --> 0:47:55.319
<v Speaker 1>so I was trying to fix things he was out

0:47:55.320 --> 0:47:58.120
<v Speaker 1>of I didn't tell you guys this. He didn't live

0:47:58.160 --> 0:48:00.759
<v Speaker 1>with me from my son being four or five days

0:48:00.800 --> 0:48:02.680
<v Speaker 1>old till he was a month and a half, and

0:48:02.680 --> 0:48:04.399
<v Speaker 1>he would just come back and scream at me because

0:48:04.440 --> 0:48:06.520
<v Speaker 1>I basically kicked out his mom because his mom kept

0:48:06.560 --> 0:48:09.560
<v Speaker 1>calling my child his like my baby. I kept taking

0:48:09.600 --> 0:48:12.560
<v Speaker 1>it from me, and it was really and wanting to

0:48:12.600 --> 0:48:14.719
<v Speaker 1>bind his hips, which is like put multiple diapers and

0:48:14.719 --> 0:48:16.920
<v Speaker 1>like all the doctor said, no, this is barbaric. And

0:48:16.960 --> 0:48:18.640
<v Speaker 1>she also wanted to put like a coin around his

0:48:18.680 --> 0:48:20.640
<v Speaker 1>belly button because he had an Audie like belly button.

0:48:20.719 --> 0:48:23.440
<v Speaker 1>It's any now, but like all these really strange thing

0:48:24.560 --> 0:48:26.719
<v Speaker 1>it's and I don't know, it's a European thing. It's

0:48:26.800 --> 0:48:29.600
<v Speaker 1>it's it's dated. Like they basically put multiple diapers on

0:48:29.640 --> 0:48:31.960
<v Speaker 1>and they tried to get the hips in a certain position,

0:48:32.360 --> 0:48:35.120
<v Speaker 1>and I was and every doctor, every pediatrician said don't

0:48:35.120 --> 0:48:38.239
<v Speaker 1>do this. So when he finally had come back in

0:48:38.280 --> 0:48:40.080
<v Speaker 1>the first day that I let him back in because

0:48:40.120 --> 0:48:42.040
<v Speaker 1>I was I was like, this is the father of

0:48:42.200 --> 0:48:44.360
<v Speaker 1>my child, and there were some circumstances going on. I

0:48:44.360 --> 0:48:46.520
<v Speaker 1>need to let him back in and try to fix things.

0:48:47.200 --> 0:48:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Then he was crazy and screaming at me in the

0:48:50.080 --> 0:48:52.560
<v Speaker 1>car and we had an altercation and he hyper extended

0:48:52.560 --> 0:48:54.279
<v Speaker 1>my pinky when I was trying to call nine o one,

0:48:54.960 --> 0:48:56.840
<v Speaker 1>So my son had split up on me. When I

0:48:56.840 --> 0:48:58.680
<v Speaker 1>went into the closet, I took my phone and I

0:48:58.680 --> 0:49:01.879
<v Speaker 1>snapped a couple of pictures. So our plan was get

0:49:01.880 --> 0:49:04.520
<v Speaker 1>to l a file a police report about the domestic violence.

0:49:04.560 --> 0:49:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Even though it had been a month, it took a

0:49:06.440 --> 0:49:08.319
<v Speaker 1>little bit to get this plan where my mom could

0:49:08.320 --> 0:49:11.360
<v Speaker 1>come back and what we were going to do. She

0:49:11.440 --> 0:49:14.239
<v Speaker 1>was on board. She was not like her and my

0:49:14.400 --> 0:49:17.880
<v Speaker 1>adopted brother Robert were the like the masterminds. So but

0:49:17.920 --> 0:49:19.760
<v Speaker 1>they said you have to like you have to report

0:49:19.800 --> 0:49:22.200
<v Speaker 1>it in the county of the crime. So then I'm

0:49:22.239 --> 0:49:25.400
<v Speaker 1>in l a like finally leave him, and then I

0:49:25.440 --> 0:49:27.640
<v Speaker 1>have to go back to San diego back to the

0:49:27.680 --> 0:49:31.120
<v Speaker 1>apartment and file a police report. And then like his

0:49:31.280 --> 0:49:34.480
<v Speaker 1>friends kept hanging out outside of our apartment like I kept.

0:49:34.520 --> 0:49:36.200
<v Speaker 1>I feel like expected like a van just to pull

0:49:36.280 --> 0:49:39.319
<v Speaker 1>up at any moment and just take us. So I

0:49:39.320 --> 0:49:41.960
<v Speaker 1>got a temporary restraint order first, and then we had

0:49:41.960 --> 0:49:45.360
<v Speaker 1>to go through a trial for domestic violence. I'm assuming

0:49:45.400 --> 0:49:48.040
<v Speaker 1>there was more domestic violence in the pinky situation. There was. Well,

0:49:48.080 --> 0:49:52.520
<v Speaker 1>the verbal abuse was like extruciating and and awful. He

0:49:52.600 --> 0:49:55.799
<v Speaker 1>had to physical altercations. One of them was while I

0:49:55.840 --> 0:49:59.040
<v Speaker 1>was pregnant. But it was tricky because when I was

0:49:59.080 --> 0:50:01.520
<v Speaker 1>trying to get away and get to our neighbors, he

0:50:01.640 --> 0:50:03.160
<v Speaker 1>was on me, and I was trying to push away

0:50:03.160 --> 0:50:06.279
<v Speaker 1>his face, and he said I hurt his eye, So

0:50:06.520 --> 0:50:08.600
<v Speaker 1>I thought I had hurt him trying to get away

0:50:08.680 --> 0:50:10.319
<v Speaker 1>from him, because it's like my eye, my eye, And

0:50:10.360 --> 0:50:12.120
<v Speaker 1>then he like wore a patch for a while and

0:50:12.400 --> 0:50:14.000
<v Speaker 1>had eye drops. But and I gave him like two

0:50:14.040 --> 0:50:15.640
<v Speaker 1>hundred dollars for the doctor, and I want to go

0:50:15.680 --> 0:50:17.960
<v Speaker 1>with him, but he won't let me. And my mom

0:50:18.040 --> 0:50:20.000
<v Speaker 1>drove over and she's like, you guys, cannot let things

0:50:20.200 --> 0:50:23.520
<v Speaker 1>escalate like this. But then I should have called the police.

0:50:23.880 --> 0:50:26.439
<v Speaker 1>I think everything happened is it was supposed to happen, though,

0:50:26.480 --> 0:50:29.440
<v Speaker 1>because now I really I got the restraint wh that

0:50:29.440 --> 0:50:32.040
<v Speaker 1>I needed, and I had the proof collected, and you know,

0:50:32.120 --> 0:50:34.400
<v Speaker 1>if I would have you know that you can't go

0:50:34.440 --> 0:50:36.560
<v Speaker 1>back in time, You can only go forward. Yeah no,

0:50:36.719 --> 0:50:38.759
<v Speaker 1>I mean obviously we all wish that never happened to you.

0:50:38.800 --> 0:50:40.600
<v Speaker 1>But now you do have this book coming out where

0:50:40.800 --> 0:50:42.719
<v Speaker 1>hopefully a lot of people can read and learn from

0:50:42.719 --> 0:50:46.399
<v Speaker 1>from a questionary tale again. It is called um I

0:50:46.480 --> 0:50:50.840
<v Speaker 1>Sucky Love Story Overcoming Unhappily ever After by by Brittany Taylor.

0:50:50.840 --> 0:50:54.640
<v Speaker 1>Where is He? I'm sorry I have Where is He? Now?

0:50:54.760 --> 0:50:57.759
<v Speaker 1>Is he doing this to some other women? You know what,

0:50:57.880 --> 0:50:59.680
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't going to talk about this and I don't

0:50:59.719 --> 0:51:02.560
<v Speaker 1>talk about it in the book because I'm trying to protect.

0:51:02.600 --> 0:51:05.520
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, there's other victims, but I'm not. That's all

0:51:05.560 --> 0:51:08.360
<v Speaker 1>I want to say, no, because I like, these people

0:51:08.360 --> 0:51:10.760
<v Speaker 1>are just as much of a victim as I am,

0:51:10.800 --> 0:51:13.440
<v Speaker 1>and I don't want if it if it was I

0:51:13.480 --> 0:51:15.719
<v Speaker 1>was in their shoes, like you know, these women don't

0:51:15.760 --> 0:51:19.200
<v Speaker 1>know all these things about him, and I'm and because

0:51:19.200 --> 0:51:21.600
<v Speaker 1>of my restraint order, I can't. There's only so much

0:51:21.640 --> 0:51:23.640
<v Speaker 1>I can do. My hands are tied. No, I can't,

0:51:23.680 --> 0:51:26.000
<v Speaker 1>and that's that's awful. But at least with my book

0:51:26.440 --> 0:51:29.279
<v Speaker 1>I can warn about him and other people like him.

0:51:29.320 --> 0:51:31.440
<v Speaker 1>But I can't. My hands are tied. And it's been

0:51:31.960 --> 0:51:34.600
<v Speaker 1>like it happened during my trial that he was involved

0:51:34.600 --> 0:51:38.480
<v Speaker 1>with someone else and yeah, it's like he already has

0:51:38.520 --> 0:51:41.480
<v Speaker 1>a kid with that person. Yeah, and you know, and

0:51:41.640 --> 0:51:45.560
<v Speaker 1>married to that person. Do you think that's a tactic too? Well,

0:51:46.000 --> 0:51:48.840
<v Speaker 1>you tell me in the you know three years that

0:51:48.920 --> 0:51:50.960
<v Speaker 1>you know he in the span of three years, he

0:51:51.000 --> 0:51:53.120
<v Speaker 1>had been married to one woman, engaged to me and

0:51:53.160 --> 0:51:55.640
<v Speaker 1>had a child, and married to another woman had a child,

0:51:55.960 --> 0:51:59.240
<v Speaker 1>and he knew so much about children, Like he knew

0:51:59.360 --> 0:52:02.360
<v Speaker 1>which sterilizer I should buy, and like what diaper brands

0:52:02.360 --> 0:52:04.279
<v Speaker 1>were good, some Japanese one when our son had like

0:52:04.320 --> 0:52:06.440
<v Speaker 1>a rash, and he just like instantly new things. And

0:52:07.080 --> 0:52:09.520
<v Speaker 1>part of me wonders, like how many other like half

0:52:09.520 --> 0:52:12.560
<v Speaker 1>brothers or sisters does my child have? You know, my

0:52:12.719 --> 0:52:15.440
<v Speaker 1>kid is amazing, Like you know, I'm sure that you know,

0:52:15.440 --> 0:52:18.279
<v Speaker 1>they're all wonderful, but I mean there's just there's so

0:52:18.360 --> 0:52:23.000
<v Speaker 1>much that I want to know. Wow, so your kid

0:52:23.000 --> 0:52:26.320
<v Speaker 1>will never know his dad hopefully. No. No, no, they

0:52:26.400 --> 0:52:28.600
<v Speaker 1>made it pretty strict, like they made it like you know,

0:52:28.640 --> 0:52:31.280
<v Speaker 1>I like got what I wanted out of the court system, thankfully,

0:52:31.640 --> 0:52:34.719
<v Speaker 1>so they can't lock him up for this, Well there's not.

0:52:34.760 --> 0:52:36.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean I could have gone after him for fraud.

0:52:36.480 --> 0:52:39.160
<v Speaker 1>But after you fight a trial for domestic violence, I

0:52:39.200 --> 0:52:42.200
<v Speaker 1>was already like out a hundred thousand dollars of everything,

0:52:42.520 --> 0:52:44.880
<v Speaker 1>and like now, like even now my bills because you know,

0:52:44.960 --> 0:52:47.680
<v Speaker 1>buying court transcripts, even to write the book and all

0:52:47.719 --> 0:52:49.799
<v Speaker 1>the like. The expenses never end when you're in a

0:52:49.880 --> 0:52:52.280
<v Speaker 1>fight to protect yourself and your child, and they never will.

0:52:52.640 --> 0:52:55.320
<v Speaker 1>But like it's so worth it. Like once you have kids,

0:52:55.320 --> 0:52:57.880
<v Speaker 1>you'll get it. Like they you know, they would spend

0:52:57.920 --> 0:53:00.359
<v Speaker 1>every single time you have on them. And like now

0:53:00.480 --> 0:53:02.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't even want to buy clothes with myself. I'm like,

0:53:02.320 --> 0:53:05.480
<v Speaker 1>look at the little splendid shirt. That's adorable. Rex needs it,

0:53:05.600 --> 0:53:08.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, So kids are always worth it, I have

0:53:08.800 --> 0:53:14.200
<v Speaker 1>to myself. So I, wow, that's such a sad, awful

0:53:14.239 --> 0:53:17.200
<v Speaker 1>story you went through that. Don't worry. Like I tried

0:53:17.239 --> 0:53:20.000
<v Speaker 1>to approach it, like from a sarcastic point of view,

0:53:20.040 --> 0:53:21.840
<v Speaker 1>and like the good thing is, you know my story

0:53:21.880 --> 0:53:24.279
<v Speaker 1>hasn't a happy ending, or I wouldn't be here. I

0:53:24.320 --> 0:53:26.360
<v Speaker 1>think the big red flag, and that's the takeaway I

0:53:26.360 --> 0:53:28.480
<v Speaker 1>think for listeners because so many people listening to this

0:53:28.480 --> 0:53:31.479
<v Speaker 1>podcast you're on online dating. Yeah, I think the big

0:53:31.520 --> 0:53:34.000
<v Speaker 1>red flag and there are so many is isolating you

0:53:34.040 --> 0:53:36.440
<v Speaker 1>from your friends and family. Oh that's a huge one.

0:53:36.480 --> 0:53:38.839
<v Speaker 1>Well that's just a sociopathic trait too, because they don't

0:53:38.840 --> 0:53:42.000
<v Speaker 1>want they don't want anyone to know, like they don't

0:53:42.000 --> 0:53:43.480
<v Speaker 1>want anyone to get on like catch onto them, and

0:53:43.520 --> 0:53:46.279
<v Speaker 1>they can't handle one. People don't like them, and they

0:53:46.280 --> 0:53:49.919
<v Speaker 1>don't They're very possessive they don't want you, so they're

0:53:49.920 --> 0:53:52.320
<v Speaker 1>going to isolate you from your own family and friends.

0:53:52.640 --> 0:53:56.320
<v Speaker 1>And I do think that having kids might be a tactic.

0:53:56.520 --> 0:54:00.160
<v Speaker 1>So it's like you're down, you can knock you down

0:54:00.400 --> 0:54:04.000
<v Speaker 1>and like even furthermore, isolate you from your parents. Kept

0:54:04.040 --> 0:54:06.160
<v Speaker 1>him around longer, went back more because he was the

0:54:06.200 --> 0:54:09.080
<v Speaker 1>quote father of my child, and he kept he kept

0:54:09.080 --> 0:54:10.759
<v Speaker 1>wanting to get me pregnant right away, and I'm like no,

0:54:10.880 --> 0:54:12.719
<v Speaker 1>I like the doctor says, wait a year because it's

0:54:12.719 --> 0:54:16.080
<v Speaker 1>not healthy for your body, like you need time to recuperate.

0:54:16.120 --> 0:54:17.719
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like that that was kind of scaring me.

0:54:17.760 --> 0:54:20.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm like I just pushed out one. You want another one?

0:54:20.320 --> 0:54:22.600
<v Speaker 1>Like come on, like you know in the future. Yeah,

0:54:22.640 --> 0:54:25.040
<v Speaker 1>they're great, multiply them, but like right at that moment, no,

0:54:25.719 --> 0:54:28.040
<v Speaker 1>at the moment. But the only thing is you can't say, like, oh,

0:54:28.120 --> 0:54:29.879
<v Speaker 1>I wish this had never happened to me, because now

0:54:29.880 --> 0:54:32.040
<v Speaker 1>you have this beautiful child. You know what, I would

0:54:32.040 --> 0:54:35.080
<v Speaker 1>go through it a hundred times over. Yeah. No, maybe

0:54:35.120 --> 0:54:38.440
<v Speaker 1>that's true. Like you it's all that cliche like storybook thing,

0:54:38.480 --> 0:54:40.439
<v Speaker 1>like the moment your child is born, your your heart

0:54:40.440 --> 0:54:42.759
<v Speaker 1>burst open, and it's true, Like you're like yes, I

0:54:42.760 --> 0:54:45.440
<v Speaker 1>would do anything for you. I remember in the hospital

0:54:45.480 --> 0:54:47.279
<v Speaker 1>the day after he was born, because I did think

0:54:47.280 --> 0:54:50.080
<v Speaker 1>about a little while about not keeping Racks, because it

0:54:50.200 --> 0:54:53.480
<v Speaker 1>was just not by choice, and you know, I ultimately

0:54:53.600 --> 0:54:55.440
<v Speaker 1>made the decision to be a mom, and like even

0:54:55.480 --> 0:54:57.239
<v Speaker 1>though I I was like, Okay, even if it doesn't

0:54:57.239 --> 0:54:58.799
<v Speaker 1>work out with me, low, this is still a life.

0:54:58.840 --> 0:55:00.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to keep him. But I had this major

0:55:00.880 --> 0:55:03.000
<v Speaker 1>guilt in the hospital. I can't believe I thought about

0:55:03.320 --> 0:55:05.439
<v Speaker 1>keeping you. You're so cute, and I think you don't

0:55:05.440 --> 0:55:07.920
<v Speaker 1>even think about like how like he had these when

0:55:07.920 --> 0:55:10.160
<v Speaker 1>he was born, these super long eyelashes, and he was

0:55:10.200 --> 0:55:12.080
<v Speaker 1>so chill, and they said, i'll give it twenty four hours,

0:55:12.120 --> 0:55:14.160
<v Speaker 1>and hours went by and he was still like the

0:55:14.160 --> 0:55:16.680
<v Speaker 1>most chill baby. And he's still like crazy, but he's

0:55:16.760 --> 0:55:19.440
<v Speaker 1>just relaxed, like I'll go ah, but he's not like

0:55:19.480 --> 0:55:21.799
<v Speaker 1>a fussy baby. Gave him a shot and he just

0:55:21.840 --> 0:55:24.239
<v Speaker 1>grunted like he didn't like he was just from he

0:55:24.320 --> 0:55:25.719
<v Speaker 1>was just cool from the start. I'm like, Okay, he's

0:55:25.719 --> 0:55:27.640
<v Speaker 1>either not really bright or he just has it all

0:55:27.680 --> 0:55:30.200
<v Speaker 1>figured out, because like in the car seat home, didn't

0:55:30.239 --> 0:55:33.120
<v Speaker 1>cry one bit, just like whatever. But they can't see

0:55:33.160 --> 0:55:34.440
<v Speaker 1>and he's just sitting and there like I don't care.

0:55:34.680 --> 0:55:36.680
<v Speaker 1>It's really nice to hear that something really incredible came

0:55:36.680 --> 0:55:39.600
<v Speaker 1>from this really sad and horrible story that you had

0:55:39.640 --> 0:55:42.080
<v Speaker 1>to go through. But like Mark said, you know, yeah,

0:55:42.239 --> 0:55:44.440
<v Speaker 1>and it'll be good, like he knows that, and I like,

0:55:44.440 --> 0:55:45.840
<v Speaker 1>you know the books as much. Like one of my

0:55:45.880 --> 0:55:47.920
<v Speaker 1>friends just read it and called me crying. She's like, Brittany,

0:55:47.960 --> 0:55:50.319
<v Speaker 1>this is a love story direct, and I think it

0:55:50.400 --> 0:55:52.680
<v Speaker 1>is like I want him to know why I did

0:55:52.719 --> 0:55:55.680
<v Speaker 1>what I did and why his his dad can't be

0:55:55.719 --> 0:55:57.520
<v Speaker 1>in his life. And I think that what's what a

0:55:57.560 --> 0:55:59.279
<v Speaker 1>better way than to really lay it out for him

0:55:59.320 --> 0:56:02.640
<v Speaker 1>and when he's old and ugh, hm, Well, I was

0:56:02.680 --> 0:56:04.640
<v Speaker 1>reading up on on you a little bit and I

0:56:04.680 --> 0:56:06.560
<v Speaker 1>think it was either on Amazon or good Reads. There's

0:56:06.560 --> 0:56:09.959
<v Speaker 1>a bio about you, and it gave you a little

0:56:10.000 --> 0:56:12.279
<v Speaker 1>tidbit that I didn't know about you, and it said

0:56:12.320 --> 0:56:17.320
<v Speaker 1>that one day your dream it's to be on the batchelor.

0:56:17.440 --> 0:56:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Let me explain. I want to wear I want to

0:56:19.520 --> 0:56:21.960
<v Speaker 1>wear the really pretty dresses and get like my hair done,

0:56:21.960 --> 0:56:23.400
<v Speaker 1>and so I have some friends that have worked on it,

0:56:23.440 --> 0:56:25.359
<v Speaker 1>but I don't know if I want to would want

0:56:25.360 --> 0:56:28.600
<v Speaker 1>to date, like be around with people dating one person.

0:56:29.080 --> 0:56:30.759
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm not a jealous type. I'd probably just

0:56:30.760 --> 0:56:32.600
<v Speaker 1>be like Peace and Leaf. I just wouldn't care, Like

0:56:32.640 --> 0:56:34.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I would get in the heat enough.

0:56:34.560 --> 0:56:37.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm not aggressive enough. Do you watch I do? I've

0:56:37.239 --> 0:56:39.400
<v Speaker 1>watched all of them. Yeah, I've watched you. Yeah, I

0:56:39.480 --> 0:56:42.920
<v Speaker 1>I I love especially Bachelor in Paradise, like I love it.

0:56:43.320 --> 0:56:46.120
<v Speaker 1>My mom my mom watches it, and that's our favorite.

0:56:46.120 --> 0:56:48.480
<v Speaker 1>We die laughing because like the dynamics and everyone's just

0:56:48.520 --> 0:56:51.719
<v Speaker 1>always really loaded in alcohol and like glazed, and well,

0:56:51.719 --> 0:56:53.480
<v Speaker 1>the alcohol is the most I would tell you the

0:56:53.480 --> 0:56:57.279
<v Speaker 1>most overrated thing about the franchise that I've ever heard,

0:56:57.280 --> 0:57:01.279
<v Speaker 1>because everybody asked about that. Nobody gets drunk except for

0:57:01.280 --> 0:57:03.680
<v Speaker 1>the one instant that obviously happened two years ago. But

0:57:03.920 --> 0:57:05.960
<v Speaker 1>Paradise is by far the best show out of the frame.

0:57:06.880 --> 0:57:09.359
<v Speaker 1>Even one of the producers he's telling me he's he said,

0:57:09.480 --> 0:57:12.440
<v Speaker 1>because he tried to relate it to Superhero for for

0:57:12.560 --> 0:57:15.840
<v Speaker 1>Layman at least, and he said that The Bachelor and

0:57:15.880 --> 0:57:19.400
<v Speaker 1>the Bachelorette is like people's individual films, and then Bachelor

0:57:19.400 --> 0:57:22.680
<v Speaker 1>in Paradise is the Avengers where they all come together.

0:57:24.400 --> 0:57:26.640
<v Speaker 1>I just love how quickly it switches and I like that.

0:57:26.880 --> 0:57:28.920
<v Speaker 1>I love it when it's in the girl's hands, and

0:57:28.960 --> 0:57:31.600
<v Speaker 1>how guys are sweating, like I love I love the switch,

0:57:31.640 --> 0:57:34.640
<v Speaker 1>like when the power keeps flipping. And then watching people

0:57:34.680 --> 0:57:36.720
<v Speaker 1>that are like, oh, I'm like all like Manlyn cool?

0:57:36.720 --> 0:57:38.120
<v Speaker 1>And now does she like me? I don't know, Like

0:57:38.160 --> 0:57:41.480
<v Speaker 1>I like to watch the cat and mouse at the

0:57:41.520 --> 0:57:43.880
<v Speaker 1>cocktail party, definitely trying to get a rose. Well before

0:57:43.880 --> 0:57:45.800
<v Speaker 1>you got on, we'll say way to a little bit

0:57:45.880 --> 0:57:48.120
<v Speaker 1>lighter subject. We're talking about Lauren Bushnell. Do you remember

0:57:48.120 --> 0:57:50.920
<v Speaker 1>who Lauren Bushnell was? I'm better with Faith. That is

0:57:50.960 --> 0:57:53.320
<v Speaker 1>her on the left show, the one gainst Ben Higgins. Yeah,

0:57:53.440 --> 0:57:56.040
<v Speaker 1>and so she is dating a country music star now

0:57:56.160 --> 0:58:00.280
<v Speaker 1>he's Chris Lane. And so Chris Lane was dating another

0:58:00.360 --> 0:58:02.479
<v Speaker 1>girl from the Bachelor franchise whose name was Lauren Barr.

0:58:02.520 --> 0:58:05.800
<v Speaker 1>She's on the right. I don't remember her, but yes, yes,

0:58:06.040 --> 0:58:08.720
<v Speaker 1>long story short, Lauren Barr was dating Chris Lane and

0:58:08.760 --> 0:58:10.640
<v Speaker 1>then they broke up. I don't know how long they

0:58:10.640 --> 0:58:13.080
<v Speaker 1>were dating. But then Lauren bush now started dating this guy,

0:58:13.120 --> 0:58:15.360
<v Speaker 1>Chris Lane, and before they announced the relationship, she reached

0:58:15.400 --> 0:58:17.720
<v Speaker 1>out to the other Lauren to say, hey, listen, I'm

0:58:17.800 --> 0:58:20.160
<v Speaker 1>dating this guy. Just kind of wanted to, you know,

0:58:20.600 --> 0:58:22.680
<v Speaker 1>make a good feeler. Uh, And we were just talking

0:58:22.680 --> 0:58:24.720
<v Speaker 1>about the necessity that I wanted to get your two cents.

0:58:24.800 --> 0:58:26.680
<v Speaker 1>I think that's just nice. I think I think that's

0:58:26.720 --> 0:58:28.800
<v Speaker 1>really like, you know, and it's a good way too

0:58:29.200 --> 0:58:31.160
<v Speaker 1>if the girl has any bad blood and you know

0:58:31.280 --> 0:58:33.439
<v Speaker 1>kind of like speak now or forever hold your peace,

0:58:33.800 --> 0:58:35.200
<v Speaker 1>so it might be in her way, like you know, hey,

0:58:35.240 --> 0:58:36.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm dating this person, Like what do you know? And

0:58:36.960 --> 0:58:39.480
<v Speaker 1>you never know what she would come back with. It

0:58:39.560 --> 0:58:41.520
<v Speaker 1>was so funny. I was just on a podcast earlier,

0:58:41.600 --> 0:58:44.280
<v Speaker 1>earlier and they said, don't dat a musician. They said,

0:58:44.320 --> 0:58:45.840
<v Speaker 1>they will always break your heart. This one girl was

0:58:45.880 --> 0:58:47.800
<v Speaker 1>married to this famous musician and like he got one

0:58:47.840 --> 0:58:49.640
<v Speaker 1>of the group. He's pregnant and now they're married. He's like,

0:58:49.640 --> 0:58:52.240
<v Speaker 1>She's like, don't dat a musician. But maybe country music

0:58:52.280 --> 0:58:54.520
<v Speaker 1>is different. Well, I'm not accusing this guy of anything.

0:58:54.560 --> 0:58:56.959
<v Speaker 1>He's a very good looking man. Sure he's very nice,

0:58:57.720 --> 0:59:00.960
<v Speaker 1>but this is his third batch are contestant that he's

0:59:01.000 --> 0:59:03.919
<v Speaker 1>been rumored to be with. But they're all their beautiful women,

0:59:04.000 --> 0:59:07.280
<v Speaker 1>so maybe, like you know, the Bachelor Friends franchisees like

0:59:07.280 --> 0:59:09.280
<v Speaker 1>hand picking these people and he's like, okay, well I'll

0:59:09.280 --> 0:59:10.640
<v Speaker 1>have a B and C. You know. I mean like,

0:59:11.000 --> 0:59:14.040
<v Speaker 1>well he's making himself the Bachelor pretty much. Yeah, good

0:59:14.080 --> 0:59:16.560
<v Speaker 1>for Chris Lane. Maybe maybe he will be the next Bachelor.

0:59:16.600 --> 0:59:18.600
<v Speaker 1>And then you called it, and then Lauren will go on.

0:59:18.760 --> 0:59:21.040
<v Speaker 1>Both Lauren's will go on the show and they'll be

0:59:21.080 --> 0:59:22.480
<v Speaker 1>the final two and he has to pick one of

0:59:22.520 --> 0:59:25.040
<v Speaker 1>the Lauren's. Yep, you needed. You need to be a producer.

0:59:25.160 --> 0:59:27.000
<v Speaker 1>I know. I've just been on this franchise. I've just

0:59:27.040 --> 0:59:29.800
<v Speaker 1>been on four seasons, and I know too much. It's terrible. Um,

0:59:29.840 --> 0:59:31.720
<v Speaker 1>but hopefully just works out with him, Lauren bus because

0:59:31.760 --> 0:59:35.800
<v Speaker 1>I think that was classy. I think it's really classy. Yeah, oh,

0:59:35.960 --> 0:59:37.520
<v Speaker 1>you have an idea. I have an email that I

0:59:37.560 --> 0:59:39.760
<v Speaker 1>think that actually I think that Brittany could really help

0:59:39.800 --> 0:59:41.919
<v Speaker 1>us with his email. Okay, but I think she could

0:59:41.920 --> 0:59:44.800
<v Speaker 1>weigh in on this. Okay, if anybody can, she could.

0:59:45.680 --> 0:59:48.240
<v Speaker 1>But I'm a female perspective in the room, so which

0:59:48.240 --> 0:59:53.120
<v Speaker 1>you could use this week. Okay, it's right here. I

0:59:53.120 --> 0:59:54.919
<v Speaker 1>mean I was kind of excited and then I was like, Okay,

0:59:54.960 --> 0:59:57.120
<v Speaker 1>I'll be okay with Jared. Fine, you'll be fine, and

0:59:57.360 --> 0:59:58.840
<v Speaker 1>you'll be fine with me. But it would have been

0:59:59.000 --> 1:00:00.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's it's almost like it's always anxious, like

1:00:00.880 --> 1:00:03.040
<v Speaker 1>when you like, I'm not just coming to be silly,

1:00:03.040 --> 1:00:04.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, oh great, I have to talk about like

1:00:04.280 --> 1:00:06.600
<v Speaker 1>heartbreaking things and make them like and go. But like,

1:00:06.760 --> 1:00:08.320
<v Speaker 1>I think it worked out. I think it was great.

1:00:08.800 --> 1:00:10.360
<v Speaker 1>But I loved having you here. I really I really

1:00:10.720 --> 1:00:14.840
<v Speaker 1>fascinated by great. We're already friends best and what friends

1:00:14.840 --> 1:00:17.520
<v Speaker 1>do is give advice. So what's this? I can first

1:00:17.560 --> 1:00:20.680
<v Speaker 1>tell us about talk Space to well talk Space. Today's

1:00:20.680 --> 1:00:22.960
<v Speaker 1>show is sponsored by talk Space, and we've been talking

1:00:22.960 --> 1:00:25.400
<v Speaker 1>about talk Space for quite a while on this podcast.

1:00:25.480 --> 1:00:28.640
<v Speaker 1>And what talk space is. It's an online therapy company

1:00:28.680 --> 1:00:31.920
<v Speaker 1>that lets you message a license therapist from anywhere at

1:00:31.960 --> 1:00:34.800
<v Speaker 1>any time. All you need is a computer with Internet

1:00:34.800 --> 1:00:37.640
<v Speaker 1>connection or the talk space mobile app on your phone,

1:00:37.840 --> 1:00:39.880
<v Speaker 1>And that means you can improve your mental health even

1:00:39.960 --> 1:00:42.120
<v Speaker 1>if you had trouble making the time for it in

1:00:42.200 --> 1:00:46.240
<v Speaker 1>your past. I try to stay mentally healthy by going

1:00:46.280 --> 1:00:49.760
<v Speaker 1>for walks, I work out, um. I I try fasting

1:00:49.760 --> 1:00:52.800
<v Speaker 1>from social media, staying off at certain times, but sometimes

1:00:52.880 --> 1:00:55.280
<v Speaker 1>you just need to get something off your chest, and

1:00:55.360 --> 1:00:57.400
<v Speaker 1>I certainly do a lot of times in my life.

1:00:57.760 --> 1:01:01.040
<v Speaker 1>And so this is the best art about talk Space,

1:01:01.160 --> 1:01:03.320
<v Speaker 1>especially living in l A that there's no extra commutes.

1:01:03.560 --> 1:01:06.040
<v Speaker 1>Like we talked about, everything is on your computer or

1:01:06.080 --> 1:01:08.440
<v Speaker 1>it's on your mobile phone. There's no leaving the office,

1:01:08.480 --> 1:01:11.880
<v Speaker 1>there's no judgments. Remember that therapy isn't just about venting

1:01:11.920 --> 1:01:14.840
<v Speaker 1>your innermost thoughts or digging into childhood memories. It's also

1:01:14.920 --> 1:01:18.640
<v Speaker 1>about practical everyday strategies for stretch management and living a

1:01:18.640 --> 1:01:21.800
<v Speaker 1>happier life. Having a therapist simply provides you a designated

1:01:21.800 --> 1:01:23.560
<v Speaker 1>person for you to talk to who's trained to listen

1:01:23.600 --> 1:01:26.040
<v Speaker 1>and help me make positive changes. The talk space platform

1:01:26.160 --> 1:01:29.200
<v Speaker 1>has over two thousand licensed therapists who are experienced and

1:01:29.240 --> 1:01:32.720
<v Speaker 1>addressing life challenges that we all face on a day today.

1:01:32.840 --> 1:01:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Basis uh to match a perfect therapist for a fraction

1:01:35.640 --> 1:01:38.040
<v Speaker 1>of the price of traditional therapy, all you have to

1:01:38.080 --> 1:01:41.080
<v Speaker 1>do is go to talk space dot com slash dean

1:01:41.480 --> 1:01:44.440
<v Speaker 1>and use the code Dean to get forty five dollars

1:01:44.520 --> 1:01:47.640
<v Speaker 1>off your first month and show your support for this show.

1:01:47.800 --> 1:01:49.400
<v Speaker 1>Yet again, all you have to do is go to

1:01:49.440 --> 1:01:52.920
<v Speaker 1>talk space dot com slash Dan d E A N

1:01:53.040 --> 1:01:56.200
<v Speaker 1>and you get forty five dollars your first month of

1:01:56.280 --> 1:01:58.840
<v Speaker 1>talk Space. It's always good to get things if your chest.

1:01:59.120 --> 1:02:00.920
<v Speaker 1>I do it all the time. Ashley, she's like my

1:02:00.920 --> 1:02:03.240
<v Speaker 1>personal therapist, so maybe I should do talk space to

1:02:03.280 --> 1:02:06.720
<v Speaker 1>give her a little break. And then we're also because

1:02:06.720 --> 1:02:09.840
<v Speaker 1>of the holidays, partnering up with the Grove. It's that

1:02:09.880 --> 1:02:12.800
<v Speaker 1>time of year again, Holiday season. The best part our

1:02:12.840 --> 1:02:14.880

1:02:14.880 --> 1:02:17.920
<v Speaker 1>about actually coming to the Haybons for thankside that I

1:02:17.960 --> 1:02:22.880
<v Speaker 1>know Ashley is coming to the Haybands for thanks Christmas. Thanksgiving.

1:02:22.920 --> 1:02:25.320

<v Speaker 1>crush on this guy in high school and he would

1:04:56.560 --> 1:04:58.760

1:05:08.680 --> 1:05:10.400
<v Speaker 1>And and I was vegan for a while, so everyone

1:05:12.600 --> 1:05:16.240
<v Speaker 1>you eat bacon? So it's fun? I love it. Here's

1:05:16.320 --> 1:05:19.040
<v Speaker 1>the email from anonymous. Those are always the best ones.

1:05:20.040 --> 1:05:22.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm twenty five and I've been single since my college

1:05:22.320 --> 1:05:24.520
<v Speaker 1>boyfriend cheated on me. I've been doing the app scene

1:05:24.640 --> 1:05:26.720
<v Speaker 1>and I've had a five month relationship, which ended when

1:05:26.720 --> 1:05:28.240
<v Speaker 1>the guy told me he didn't feel the same way

1:05:28.440 --> 1:05:31.160
<v Speaker 1>two weeks after asking me to be his girlfriend. Recently,

1:05:31.200 --> 1:05:32.760
<v Speaker 1>I was watching a football game and the guy struck

1:05:32.800 --> 1:05:35.000
<v Speaker 1>up a conversation. He asked me out, but I haven't

1:05:35.040 --> 1:05:36.920
<v Speaker 1>heard from him now. A lot of your advice on

1:05:36.920 --> 1:05:39.560
<v Speaker 1>this podcast, centiders, I'm putting yourself out there and being president.

1:05:39.600 --> 1:05:41.720
<v Speaker 1>In the moment where I texted him, he then made

1:05:41.720 --> 1:05:44.400
<v Speaker 1>it clear that he only wanted to hook up. I've

1:05:44.400 --> 1:05:46.160
<v Speaker 1>told this story to men and women. They all have

1:05:46.200 --> 1:05:48.080
<v Speaker 1>the same reaction. Well, what did you expect. The guy

1:05:48.120 --> 1:05:49.960
<v Speaker 1>who comes up to you like that is a player?

1:05:50.160 --> 1:05:52.480
<v Speaker 1>My question is what gives is that true? Am I

1:05:52.520 --> 1:05:54.960
<v Speaker 1>only going to meet cocky douche bags in real life?

1:05:55.200 --> 1:05:57.400
<v Speaker 1>Should I stick to the apps? Or if there are

1:05:57.440 --> 1:05:59.560
<v Speaker 1>good guys willing to ask a girl out in person,

1:05:59.600 --> 1:06:01.760
<v Speaker 1>where do I look for them? Please? Help? I suck

1:06:01.800 --> 1:06:03.480
<v Speaker 1>at dating so much and I'm tired of being the

1:06:03.560 --> 1:06:06.120
<v Speaker 1>only single one of my friend group. I think you

1:06:06.160 --> 1:06:08.160
<v Speaker 1>can tell, like online dating is good because you can

1:06:08.200 --> 1:06:11.240
<v Speaker 1>tell people's motives really quickly. Usually like you know, they're

1:06:11.280 --> 1:06:12.760
<v Speaker 1>very much like hey, what are you doing later? What

1:06:12.800 --> 1:06:14.320
<v Speaker 1>are you wearing? Or like they'll make some like oh

1:06:14.320 --> 1:06:15.800
<v Speaker 1>you have nice lips, and you're like, oh, come on,

1:06:15.960 --> 1:06:18.200
<v Speaker 1>like you know right away what they're going for. So

1:06:18.200 --> 1:06:19.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't I think online dating is not bad, but

1:06:20.040 --> 1:06:22.200
<v Speaker 1>like maybe she should try like Bumble or some of

1:06:22.240 --> 1:06:25.720
<v Speaker 1>the like you know, clap sometimes. I'm a big fan

1:06:25.760 --> 1:06:29.160
<v Speaker 1>of Hinge, like I've ever heard. Hinge is an online

1:06:29.240 --> 1:06:33.160
<v Speaker 1>dating app that I used, uh many years ago, but

1:06:33.280 --> 1:06:35.040
<v Speaker 1>I really enjoyed it. It It was a lot of young

1:06:35.080 --> 1:06:37.840
<v Speaker 1>professionals that I've found. But Bumble is pretty cool too

1:06:37.840 --> 1:06:40.200
<v Speaker 1>because it lets the female go first. But it's also

1:06:40.320 --> 1:06:42.680
<v Speaker 1>weird because that men like that power dynamic and it's

1:06:42.760 --> 1:06:45.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of strange when women are doing the pursuit, you

1:06:45.680 --> 1:06:47.080
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean. Like, I've noticed a lot in

1:06:47.160 --> 1:06:49.120
<v Speaker 1>my like, you know, guys like to text first. I

1:06:49.240 --> 1:06:52.040
<v Speaker 1>like to, so I've noticed it's very like it's like

1:06:52.280 --> 1:06:55.040
<v Speaker 1>sometimes that they lose interest, I feel like, but I

1:06:55.080 --> 1:06:59.000
<v Speaker 1>feel like maybe the guys have wrong motives, so maybe

1:06:59.040 --> 1:07:02.720
<v Speaker 1>it's best if a girl just Texas first. Anyway, Yeah,

1:07:02.760 --> 1:07:07.160
<v Speaker 1>I've been married since before. I would want to be

1:07:07.160 --> 1:07:09.959
<v Speaker 1>on bumble because I would like knowing there's at least

1:07:09.960 --> 1:07:12.680
<v Speaker 1>some interrift on the part other than an absent minded

1:07:12.680 --> 1:07:15.400
<v Speaker 1>swipe right, some interest on her part that she thought

1:07:15.480 --> 1:07:16.880
<v Speaker 1>enough of me to text me. I'd be like, that

1:07:16.880 --> 1:07:18.760
<v Speaker 1>would be encouraging for you. And it seems more like

1:07:18.800 --> 1:07:22.000
<v Speaker 1>people are looking for a relationship on bumble. But it's

1:07:22.040 --> 1:07:23.840
<v Speaker 1>so weird. When I was on Tender and I met

1:07:23.960 --> 1:07:27.000
<v Speaker 1>my ex Milosh, there wasn't really anything else, so like

1:07:27.200 --> 1:07:29.120
<v Speaker 1>everyone was on Tender, Like I'd be in l A

1:07:29.160 --> 1:07:30.760
<v Speaker 1>and I'd like, go on a casting I'm like, oh,

1:07:30.760 --> 1:07:33.360
<v Speaker 1>there's the casting director. Like everyone was on Tinder, and

1:07:33.480 --> 1:07:36.200
<v Speaker 1>it's changed now there is more options. So I think

1:07:36.440 --> 1:07:38.440
<v Speaker 1>you figure out what fits your personality best and what

1:07:38.600 --> 1:07:40.440
<v Speaker 1>you want and like, you know, if you want cleaner people,

1:07:40.480 --> 1:07:42.800
<v Speaker 1>then trying a little bit cleaner sights. Yeah, it's almost

1:07:42.840 --> 1:07:45.600
<v Speaker 1>like there's a stigma now for people who are on Tinder,

1:07:45.640 --> 1:07:48.040
<v Speaker 1>which I don't agree with. And depending on states to like,

1:07:48.200 --> 1:07:50.760
<v Speaker 1>depending on what state you're in, can be like purely,

1:07:50.960 --> 1:07:53.520
<v Speaker 1>like like, oh my god, if Arizona, it's purely a

1:07:53.520 --> 1:07:57.160
<v Speaker 1>hook up app here though, how that friends? Like that's

1:07:57.200 --> 1:07:59.280
<v Speaker 1>pure it's purely a hook up app. Like for the

1:07:59.320 --> 1:08:01.520
<v Speaker 1>most part, I don't like but look, any app you

1:08:01.560 --> 1:08:03.040
<v Speaker 1>go on can be like a hook up app. But

1:08:03.080 --> 1:08:04.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, you know, and if I was in l

1:08:04.880 --> 1:08:06.280
<v Speaker 1>A though, I don't know if that's still the cases.

1:08:06.320 --> 1:08:08.360
<v Speaker 1>I've been out of this scene for like three years.

1:08:08.600 --> 1:08:11.400
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea of tenders now, just I don't know.

1:08:11.440 --> 1:08:13.040
<v Speaker 1>I know it's like it wasn't it wasn't one I

1:08:13.080 --> 1:08:15.000
<v Speaker 1>because I've actually made a lot of friends that I

1:08:15.120 --> 1:08:17.120
<v Speaker 1>went to church with and whatever, Like I have made

1:08:17.240 --> 1:08:20.479
<v Speaker 1>friends off the Tinder I did. I'm serious because like

1:08:20.560 --> 1:08:21.920
<v Speaker 1>we would go and hang out. I had one friend

1:08:21.960 --> 1:08:24.400
<v Speaker 1>that I like met and we realized we had no chemistry,

1:08:24.400 --> 1:08:25.840
<v Speaker 1>but then we became like best friends. You go hiking

1:08:25.880 --> 1:08:27.280
<v Speaker 1>all the time, you go to church together. He would

1:08:27.280 --> 1:08:30.080
<v Speaker 1>talk about girls with me, Like is that like your

1:08:30.080 --> 1:08:32.320
<v Speaker 1>opening line on Tinder? Like, Hey, it's nice to meet you.

1:08:32.360 --> 1:08:34.639
<v Speaker 1>Would you like to go to church? No, he asked me.

1:08:34.760 --> 1:08:36.120
<v Speaker 1>But I was, you know, I hadn't been in a while.

1:08:36.120 --> 1:08:37.600
<v Speaker 1>I was like okay, cool, And I thought that was

1:08:37.600 --> 1:08:40.040
<v Speaker 1>like a fun, neutral, safe public place if we're talking

1:08:40.080 --> 1:08:43.200
<v Speaker 1>about safety. Yeah, we hung out. We went to Mosaic

1:08:43.240 --> 1:08:45.000
<v Speaker 1>here in l A and hung out and then like

1:08:45.040 --> 1:08:47.080
<v Speaker 1>from then, like we went hiking and whatnot and we're

1:08:47.080 --> 1:08:49.519
<v Speaker 1>still friends to this day. Was it awkward at all? No,

1:08:49.760 --> 1:08:51.439
<v Speaker 1>it was weird because we just right from the start,

1:08:51.560 --> 1:08:54.720
<v Speaker 1>We're like no, you know, no, there's no interest, there

1:08:54.760 --> 1:08:57.439
<v Speaker 1>was no spark. We just and I've always become one

1:08:57.479 --> 1:08:59.719
<v Speaker 1>of the guys. I'm the one that you bring along

1:08:59.760 --> 1:09:02.280
<v Speaker 1>into hell everyone like, I'm the one that like is

1:09:02.400 --> 1:09:04.600
<v Speaker 1>with the group of fifteen men at Halloween horrornites. So

1:09:04.760 --> 1:09:07.080
<v Speaker 1>that was always me because I just get along with guys.

1:09:07.600 --> 1:09:09.400
<v Speaker 1>So it was pretty natural that end up making a

1:09:09.400 --> 1:09:13.080
<v Speaker 1>lot of guy friends off a Tinder. I think for

1:09:13.240 --> 1:09:17.759
<v Speaker 1>Anonymous over here, I don't think she's doing anything wrong,

1:09:17.880 --> 1:09:20.519
<v Speaker 1>Like I think it's just life. Yeah, it's just life.

1:09:20.520 --> 1:09:22.160
<v Speaker 1>It's just the way it goes. Like, sure, there's gonna

1:09:22.160 --> 1:09:23.479
<v Speaker 1>be a guy a football game who's a doucheag, and

1:09:23.520 --> 1:09:25.880
<v Speaker 1>there's probably be another guy in football game who's really nice.

1:09:26.000 --> 1:09:28.080
<v Speaker 1>So it's it's so don't give up on the app.

1:09:29.520 --> 1:09:31.160
<v Speaker 1>Have a better filter. But I was talking about this

1:09:31.200 --> 1:09:33.120
<v Speaker 1>with a friend recently too, and it's good. Like, you know,

1:09:33.120 --> 1:09:34.720
<v Speaker 1>if you let people know that you're single and you

1:09:34.760 --> 1:09:36.680
<v Speaker 1>have friends that you trust, like they usually a lot

1:09:36.720 --> 1:09:38.400
<v Speaker 1>of times have good taste and will be like, oh,

1:09:38.520 --> 1:09:40.720
<v Speaker 1>my friend, you might be perfect for them, or like,

1:09:40.760 --> 1:09:42.479
<v Speaker 1>you know, hang out in social circles of people that

1:09:42.520 --> 1:09:44.920
<v Speaker 1>you really like, because usually they're going to hang around with,

1:09:45.200 --> 1:09:47.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, other good people or other people that are

1:09:47.439 --> 1:09:49.880
<v Speaker 1>like your personality. Oh. I think that's the best way

1:09:50.000 --> 1:09:51.720
<v Speaker 1>to start dating in this world is being set up?

1:09:52.280 --> 1:09:55.639
<v Speaker 1>Reading bunching, gut set up? Did they mutual friend? Everything

1:09:55.680 --> 1:09:57.360
<v Speaker 1>comes back to town? I'm reading with you. But it's

1:09:57.360 --> 1:10:00.200
<v Speaker 1>such a good story, isn't it. Like the couple in

1:10:00.240 --> 1:10:02.639
<v Speaker 1>the world got set up by a friend. Literally a

1:10:02.680 --> 1:10:05.960
<v Speaker 1>friend was like, Hey, Tom, you should meet my friend

1:10:06.280 --> 1:10:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Giselle because you guys have a lot in common because

1:10:09.120 --> 1:10:15.120
<v Speaker 1>probably happen a lot. Yeah, I honestly, uh and so

1:10:15.479 --> 1:10:17.880
<v Speaker 1>so outside the apps if she wants to meet somebody,

1:10:18.120 --> 1:10:21.240
<v Speaker 1>I r L. You're saying, a friend is probably the

1:10:21.240 --> 1:10:23.200
<v Speaker 1>best way to go, right and just you know, and

1:10:23.320 --> 1:10:25.559
<v Speaker 1>you just you, I think you the dating is going

1:10:25.600 --> 1:10:28.200
<v Speaker 1>to be awful it's not. And like sometimes you meet

1:10:28.240 --> 1:10:29.559
<v Speaker 1>the love of your life when you're five and they're

1:10:29.560 --> 1:10:31.519
<v Speaker 1>your next door neighbor, and other times you're like me

1:10:31.600 --> 1:10:34.960
<v Speaker 1>and you're thirty five and still wondering. But like, you know,

1:10:35.360 --> 1:10:37.519
<v Speaker 1>I now have my kid, and I I found so

1:10:37.600 --> 1:10:40.760
<v Speaker 1>much peace and just like like pursuing my career, I'm

1:10:41.080 --> 1:10:43.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm not pushing it, Like you can't put yourself on

1:10:43.240 --> 1:10:45.240
<v Speaker 1>a timeline and be like by thirty two, I'm gonna

1:10:45.240 --> 1:10:47.200
<v Speaker 1>be married and have kids. Like you have to be

1:10:47.240 --> 1:10:50.280
<v Speaker 1>open that not everything works textbook or how you want

1:10:50.320 --> 1:10:52.000
<v Speaker 1>it to. And I think she just needs to take

1:10:52.000 --> 1:10:54.519
<v Speaker 1>the pressure off. And if she's the one single pringle

1:10:54.560 --> 1:10:56.439
<v Speaker 1>at the parties, cool, she gets to go home at

1:10:56.520 --> 1:10:58.240
<v Speaker 1>night and watch what she wants on Netflix, you know

1:10:58.280 --> 1:11:00.760
<v Speaker 1>what I mean. So there's some person being single till

1:11:00.760 --> 1:11:03.479
<v Speaker 1>someone good comes along. At what point do you tell

1:11:03.560 --> 1:11:06.720
<v Speaker 1>someone that you have a son? All right away? I'm

1:11:06.880 --> 1:11:08.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm the one with my phone out, Like, look, how

1:11:08.400 --> 1:11:11.800
<v Speaker 1>cute my kid is, Like he's my lock screen, Like

1:11:12.160 --> 1:11:15.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm obsessed with him, and he's just he's hysterical, like

1:11:15.520 --> 1:11:17.320
<v Speaker 1>he um, I just got him. Was so funny. It's

1:11:17.360 --> 1:11:19.679
<v Speaker 1>a who lets the dog out car at the thrift store.

1:11:19.680 --> 1:11:21.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why he was obsessed with it, but

1:11:21.520 --> 1:11:22.720
<v Speaker 1>the first thing he does when he wakes up he

1:11:22.760 --> 1:11:25.320
<v Speaker 1>goes cool car, cool car, Like, where's my cool car?

1:11:26.200 --> 1:11:28.280
<v Speaker 1>And it's just so cute. He's this tiny little body

1:11:28.400 --> 1:11:30.960
<v Speaker 1>is looking for this massive like fake escalade so we

1:11:31.000 --> 1:11:33.080
<v Speaker 1>can play like the song who Lets a Dog Out

1:11:33.080 --> 1:11:37.200
<v Speaker 1>on It? Yeah? Are you currently dating now? No? No,

1:11:38.320 --> 1:11:40.800
<v Speaker 1>let me just tell you why my picking meter is off.

1:11:41.280 --> 1:11:43.680
<v Speaker 1>I had. I was back in Sedona and I ran

1:11:43.720 --> 1:11:45.120
<v Speaker 1>into a friend from high school that used to be

1:11:45.160 --> 1:11:46.760
<v Speaker 1>on tense team with and when I was in high school,

1:11:46.800 --> 1:11:48.719
<v Speaker 1>it's like this tiny little thing we were friends. Now

1:11:48.760 --> 1:11:51.320
<v Speaker 1>he's like six ft two and gorgeous, and he asked

1:11:51.360 --> 1:11:53.799
<v Speaker 1>me out on a date. Right Well, during my trial,

1:11:53.880 --> 1:11:55.200
<v Speaker 1>I was like, okay, well, what would it hurt to

1:11:55.200 --> 1:11:57.040
<v Speaker 1>go to dinner from? Like you know, I was telling

1:11:57.080 --> 1:11:58.799
<v Speaker 1>myself this, what would it hurt to go to dinner

1:11:58.840 --> 1:12:01.200
<v Speaker 1>with a friend? And then I had to go because

1:12:01.240 --> 1:12:03.599
<v Speaker 1>I was getting threatening text messages during my trial trying

1:12:03.600 --> 1:12:06.040
<v Speaker 1>to lure me out, like with fake auditions, so I'd go.

1:12:06.640 --> 1:12:10.679
<v Speaker 1>It's so complicated. I can't say who it was from.

1:12:10.720 --> 1:12:13.000
<v Speaker 1>But like I because I had been on a one

1:12:13.080 --> 1:12:15.920
<v Speaker 1>national commercial I was a flight attenant. So then they're like, oh,

1:12:15.960 --> 1:12:18.400
<v Speaker 1>it's W and me at whatever and it's for Delta

1:12:18.439 --> 1:12:19.640
<v Speaker 1>and we want you to be a flight attenant on

1:12:19.640 --> 1:12:22.760
<v Speaker 1>its commercial right. So my agents checked out it wasn't

1:12:22.800 --> 1:12:24.240
<v Speaker 1>legit at all. And it was during my trial and

1:12:24.240 --> 1:12:25.519
<v Speaker 1>they kept trying to get me to come to l

1:12:25.520 --> 1:12:28.760
<v Speaker 1>A for auditions and it was all Google voipe accounts there.

1:12:28.800 --> 1:12:31.479
<v Speaker 1>I multiple that I have a lot of this. Yeah,

1:12:31.479 --> 1:12:34.000
<v Speaker 1>that's crazy. So I had to go file police reports.

1:12:34.000 --> 1:12:36.000
<v Speaker 1>And when I was at the police station, the police

1:12:36.000 --> 1:12:37.800
<v Speaker 1>officer was like, oh, a lot of kids are still

1:12:37.800 --> 1:12:39.320
<v Speaker 1>in town, and so we were working on the police

1:12:39.320 --> 1:12:41.439
<v Speaker 1>force and he's I said, oh, well, do you know

1:12:41.479 --> 1:12:43.519
<v Speaker 1>such and such goes such and such, such and such

1:12:43.560 --> 1:12:44.880
<v Speaker 1>like the first and last name. I said, yeah, he

1:12:44.920 --> 1:12:47.120
<v Speaker 1>goes why And I said, oh, I'm just to go

1:12:47.160 --> 1:12:49.600
<v Speaker 1>out with him tonight. He goes only because I know

1:12:49.680 --> 1:12:52.080
<v Speaker 1>your situation. He says, we arrest him all the time

1:12:52.080 --> 1:12:55.720
<v Speaker 1>for meth and then and then I googled him and

1:12:55.800 --> 1:12:58.680
<v Speaker 1>he just on time for aggravated assault for a d U.

1:12:58.840 --> 1:13:02.639
<v Speaker 1>I the wonders, don't you. I have horrible taste in dating.

1:13:02.920 --> 1:13:05.280
<v Speaker 1>So I've realized that I just and like, you know,

1:13:05.400 --> 1:13:07.599
<v Speaker 1>I when you get burned as bad as I got burned,

1:13:07.640 --> 1:13:11.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm kind of just really comfortable just waiting and healing

1:13:11.479 --> 1:13:13.360
<v Speaker 1>and kind of getting the message of what happened to

1:13:13.400 --> 1:13:15.679
<v Speaker 1>me out there and just not rushing it. Of course.

1:13:15.800 --> 1:13:18.040
<v Speaker 1>I think that's what I learned, is that I talked

1:13:18.120 --> 1:13:20.680
<v Speaker 1>myself into the relationship because he was he checked all

1:13:20.680 --> 1:13:23.120
<v Speaker 1>the boxes on paper, and I mean everyone has those things.

1:13:23.120 --> 1:13:26.080
<v Speaker 1>I was like, Oh, has a job check funny check

1:13:26.320 --> 1:13:29.280
<v Speaker 1>like you know, like you know, likes to go do this,

1:13:29.439 --> 1:13:31.760
<v Speaker 1>or check like likes the same TV shows. I don't know,

1:13:31.800 --> 1:13:33.519
<v Speaker 1>Like he checked all the boxes of what I would

1:13:33.520 --> 1:13:35.160
<v Speaker 1>want in a partner in the future, and I talked

1:13:35.200 --> 1:13:38.280
<v Speaker 1>myself into it. So never again. So looking back at

1:13:38.680 --> 1:13:41.880
<v Speaker 1>this relationship, you talk about how people do crazy stuff

1:13:41.920 --> 1:13:44.519
<v Speaker 1>when you're in love. Do you think you're in love

1:13:44.520 --> 1:13:47.160
<v Speaker 1>with him? In love like that? And that's you know,

1:13:47.439 --> 1:13:48.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's funny though I had never been in

1:13:48.800 --> 1:13:51.719
<v Speaker 1>love before him, so I was like, after I left,

1:13:51.720 --> 1:13:53.200
<v Speaker 1>I was like, what's wrong with me that I would

1:13:53.200 --> 1:13:54.760
<v Speaker 1>fall in love with someone like that? But at least

1:13:54.760 --> 1:13:56.680
<v Speaker 1>I knew I was capable of it because I had

1:13:56.720 --> 1:13:59.240
<v Speaker 1>never been in love before then, and I had relationships,

1:13:59.560 --> 1:14:01.840
<v Speaker 1>and I thought something was wrong with me. I thought,

1:14:01.840 --> 1:14:03.920
<v Speaker 1>why am I always just annoyed by who I'm with? It?

1:14:04.000 --> 1:14:06.800
<v Speaker 1>I never like because they always get so needy because

1:14:06.800 --> 1:14:08.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm very independent and I'm always kind of like doing

1:14:08.680 --> 1:14:09.920
<v Speaker 1>my own thing, and I'm like, you know, they want

1:14:09.920 --> 1:14:11.360
<v Speaker 1>to go hang out with their friends. I'm like cool, bye,

1:14:11.360 --> 1:14:12.800
<v Speaker 1>and I like, go to my thing and I'm not

1:14:12.840 --> 1:14:15.000
<v Speaker 1>texting them and like what's she doing? Like they always

1:14:15.000 --> 1:14:17.840
<v Speaker 1>get really so it always I was always annoyed in

1:14:17.880 --> 1:14:20.639
<v Speaker 1>their relationship and so it was weird, like the first

1:14:20.640 --> 1:14:22.720
<v Speaker 1>time to be like in love. But he was so

1:14:22.800 --> 1:14:25.439
<v Speaker 1>different than anything I had dated before, Like he you know,

1:14:25.640 --> 1:14:28.760
<v Speaker 1>was educated and worldly and had been places I hadn't been,

1:14:28.840 --> 1:14:31.599
<v Speaker 1>and we could just talk for hours, and I think that,

1:14:32.000 --> 1:14:33.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, I thought, I thought he was this really

1:14:33.760 --> 1:14:38.920
<v Speaker 1>good person and I you know, the mirage I fell for, Wow,

1:14:39.080 --> 1:14:41.519
<v Speaker 1>Well it is a compelling story and everybody can pick

1:14:41.600 --> 1:14:46.240
<v Speaker 1>up books tomorrow right comes up? Yeah, great of these

1:14:46.280 --> 1:14:48.679
<v Speaker 1>things and you know, you know what, I would donate

1:14:48.760 --> 1:14:50.960
<v Speaker 1>as much proceeds as I could to causes, like I

1:14:51.000 --> 1:14:53.160
<v Speaker 1>never wanted to do this for money. It was I

1:14:53.240 --> 1:14:55.920
<v Speaker 1>literally couldn't take the liability and make a video that it,

1:14:55.920 --> 1:14:58.000
<v Speaker 1>which is all I wanted was just to make a

1:14:58.080 --> 1:15:01.000
<v Speaker 1>video and talk about it. So I started writing and

1:15:01.040 --> 1:15:03.080
<v Speaker 1>it turned into a book, and you know, so I

1:15:03.120 --> 1:15:04.479
<v Speaker 1>think it was how it was supposed to be because

1:15:04.520 --> 1:15:06.559
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't have This video would have been like a

1:15:06.640 --> 1:15:09.040
<v Speaker 1>week long, and I probably wouldn't have touched everything. Well,

1:15:09.080 --> 1:15:10.760
<v Speaker 1>before you start donating, make sure you pay off your

1:15:10.800 --> 1:15:13.920
<v Speaker 1>court fees, because oh yeah, I've already worked through a

1:15:13.920 --> 1:15:15.759
<v Speaker 1>lot of that, Like thankful, I've had some branded stuff

1:15:15.760 --> 1:15:17.519
<v Speaker 1>that I've been able to pay down the debt and

1:15:17.560 --> 1:15:19.720
<v Speaker 1>be careful and yeah, well, we certainly wish you the

1:15:19.760 --> 1:15:21.880
<v Speaker 1>best of luck, and we do. We hope it sells
