Anyway, as a result of it didn’t air on the East Coast and Central Time Central Trip right here, 7 o’clock. It goes on Tuesday nights. The speech aired.

Jap time on my YouTube channel and in your podcast feed, you lastly get to listen to the dialog I had with Lauren O’Brien earlier this week, love is blind. Season eight. You noticed her engagement finish final week within the episodes with Dave.

Clearly lots of people have ideas on Dave. So does Lauren. Now, for those who’re anticipating her to trash him, she doesn’t do this. I didn’t count on her to trash him. I didn’t need her to trash him. I didn’t assume she would, however. She does make her emotions recognized of every thing that she’s listening to on-line from individuals.

We type of, I attempted to go in chronological order, so we simply type of stroll by her journey. We don’t speak about some other {couples} on the present as a result of it’s airing earlier than the finale airs tomorrow. I didn’t wish to get into any of that and provides her ideas on any of the {couples} as a result of it probably may lead individuals to assume sure issues.

So, this entire interview is nearly her and Dave after which briefly in regards to the relationship he had with Molly within the pods. After which some speak about Molly at Buck Hill when she met up with him in episode 11, but it surely’s all about Lauren and Dave and we begin in chronological order. I stated, like I stated, begin on the pods and we speak about what occurred once they went to Honduras after which what occurred once they left Honduras and got here again to Minnesota.

After which we speak about what’s been occurring the final three weeks whereas the present has been airing. As a result of as , the present filmed a 12 months in the past, each season of this present. Principally has a 12 months wait. So when Denver begins airing in October, season 9, they filmed in October of 2023 or excuse me, 2024. So by the point it rolls round in October of 2025, it’ll be a 12 months for them.

And Boston, I imagine is filming proper now. So we’re not going to get that. So most likely February of 2026 and March of February, 2026. In order that’s what I imply. It’s only a weird expertise. I wished to speak to Lauren about all of it. She has achieved. A number of interviews, however so far as I do know, she has not achieved a 50 minute sit down podcast.

I do know she went on Nick’s podcast and it did about 20 or 25 minutes. However we received double. So nanny, nanny, Billy goat to Nick and oh yeah, very, very elegant of Nick after he has Lauren on his podcast to name her sloppy, the hypocrisy it’s so laughable. With that man. Anyway, 9 15 AM Jap time on my YouTube channel.

You’ll be able to watch me discuss to Lauren, or for those who similar to the audio portion, that’s positive as effectively, that’ll be in your podcast feed, 9 15 AM Jap time. So be looking out for that. Nice, nice dialog with Lauren. So excited to speak to her. The interview lived as much as my expectations, if not exceeded it.

I believed she was nice. In order I stated, Tuesday night time, I turned on my TV at seven o’clock as a result of. Excuse me. Eight o’clock central time as a result of I wanna watch the, is it, wait, is it on at seven or eight out right here? I can’t even bear in mind. Regardless of the case could also be. I activate my TV at seven, considering it’s on at seven.

It could be on at eight. I overlook. ’trigger I often watch it on t. on DVR, however activate my TV at seven o’clock and it’s the president talking and I’m like, wait a second, am I not going to get vendor? No deal island? Trigger frankly, I’d a lot slightly watch that. And I assume we didn’t East coast and central time didn’t get vendor.

No deal island on Tuesday night time as a result of each community and together with the cable networks was operating the speech. So it’s like, okay, effectively I assume I’m simply gonna have to observe it on Wednesday. So I watched it yesterday and I’ve some issues that I, okay. That I had written down about this the very first thing is and I’ve stated this up to now with regard to Choosing the suitcases.

It’s like I don’t want a narrative behind why you’re choosing a quantity that you’re. I don’t care It doesn’t matter. None of it’s related simply because it’s a quantity that’s oh, I received three youngsters I’m gonna take quantity three It means completely nothing that would have one cent in it It might have 5 million {dollars} in it has nothing to do along with your youngsters I get those who perhaps are superstitious or no matter, but it surely actually has nothing to do with something What I believed was attention-grabbing was Letty ended up being the one who needed to play towards the banker and the case she selected for herself She’s like I’m gonna select my volleyball quantity quantity two, which I believe the present as a result of it’s a actuality present They do intensive background checks on anyone they placed on the present, proper?

I’m guessing they’re very effectively conscious that Letty was a School volleyball participant. My guess is that they most likely knew what Letty’s faculty volleyball quantity was. A easy Google search most likely discovered you that. You don’t assume that perhaps? If you happen to select a quantity that fundamental, like I, I’m going to go along with my faculty volleyball quantity, one thing that she’s actually, actually recognized for her faculty volleyball profession, exterior of her wrestling profession, you don’t assume that perhaps they’re going to try to put a small worth on that quantity.

They’re like, Hey, only for the heck of it. If she ever goes along with her volleyball quantity from faculty. Let’s give her a small worth and to not spoil the ending right here, however they did they put 250 bucks in suitcase briefcase quantity two, so I simply thought that was attention-grabbing do these individuals not assume forward and Don’t choose a quantity that’s actually immediately associated to one thing that’s simply very Google ready.

It’s simply, I simply didn’t assume that was sensible to do anyway. Letty first spherical of 4 suitcases. Hey, three low ones and one excessive one. Wow. She’s gotten a bonus. Second spherical of 4 circumstances, three excessive ones and one low one. Oh, what have you learnt? With 4 circumstances left, two of them are low and two of them are excessive.

Certainly one of them’s received one cent. Certainly one of them’s received 250 bucks. Certainly one of them’s received 1. 75 million. Certainly one of them’s received 2. 5 million. Then she has to select one case and she or he picks the two. 5 million one. So with three circumstances left. Two of them are low. Certainly one of them is excessive. Her supply is 550, 000. She takes the supply and it finally ends up being higher than what she has in her case as a result of she had 250 in her case.

And as she stated, earlier than she even sat down or stood up there to play the sport, she stated, if I win Dixon, you’re going house. And that’s precisely what she did. She despatched Dixon house. So now now we have 4 individuals left. Letty, CK, Parvati, and David. Oh, and the opposite man. Richard? No. I don’t know why I believed it was Richard, however Philip.

He’s the fifth man, however we discover out, I assume, a twist for subsequent week’s episode is there’s going to be a double elimination. So it seems like subsequent week is the penultimate episode after which we’re going into the finale with solely three individuals within the finale. And so it seems just like the finale shall be in two weeks, I imagine.

That’s good. As a result of hopefully after the season is over, I’ve calls out to poverty to return on the podcast. I believe poverty goes to return on, however I stated, I don’t wish to carry poverty on till she’s off Deal or No Deal Island. As a result of if I carry her on like subsequent week, I can’t do something with it.

Particularly if she’s nonetheless on Deal or No Deal Island, as a result of she will be able to solely speak about as much as the purpose that we’re at. I might a lot slightly discuss to Parvati as soon as every thing is over and we are able to go over the entire season and discuss to her about that, discuss to her about her new podcast, Good Ladies Don’t Win. She’s received a ebook popping out this summer season.

She’s received a podcast that she simply began with former Bachelor producer Amy Bean. You’ll be able to test that out anyway. Poverty goes to return on the podcast inside the subsequent three weeks or so is, is my hope so long as Deal or No Deal Island is over in two weeks. So inside the subsequent month, poverty shall be on this podcast.

I can’t look ahead to that. By no means spoken to poverty in my life.
