Danny
No, I mean, who? I don't really know. I'm sure. I'm sure people.
Jordan
We don't take requests though.
Landon Austin
We gotta feel bad.
Danny
Lana, Olivia are here. And Olivia is currently. Gosh, how many weeks pregnant are you?
Olivia Austin
Almost 38.
Danny
38.
Olivia Austin
Yeah.
Danny
And last night. No, two nights ago. You thought you were going to labor.
Olivia Austin
I was having contractions, like seven to eight minutes apart. Well, I think. Contraction for how long? Probably like an hour.
Danny
An hour?
Olivia Austin
My app was like, you need to go to the hospital. Oh, but I didn't tell him.
Danny
Let me ask you something. Did y' all get the app without code? Commercial breaks, like, did you pay for the app?
Olivia Austin
I paid $5.
Danny
Okay, good. Cuz my second child, I didn't. And I'd be in the middle, like screaming of pain. And I'd be like, this is brought
Sponsor Voice 1
to you by Stanley.
Danny
And you know, Lana, what was going through your mind? That.
Landon Austin
Well, I'm always wondering what the fruit is every week. That's what I'm really invested in. So, like, you know, we were a mango. That was probably the best week.
Danny
The size of the baby.
Landon Austin
Yeah. You know what I'm talking about.
Olivia Austin
Yeah.
Landon Austin
Everyone knows where the fruit at.
Jordan
Yeah, yeah, we know.
Landon Austin
I knew. So Liv's kind of a hypochondriac. So when she said she thought she was going to labor, I was like, it'll pass. She's like, she's been saying that since day one. Like there's always something.
Olivia Austin
Texted him and I said, I'm not trying to be dramatic, but I kind of felt like I'm having some contractions right now. He was in the living room and I was in our bedroom, but nothing ever came from it. So. Yeah.
Danny
You realize that that's like we're being like our mother like that.
Landon Austin
Oh, like not worrying.
Danny
Yeah.
Landon Austin
Yeah. I think there's definitely a happy medium. Like I don't worry about anything and live worries about everything. So it kind of blends together. Well.
Danny
Yeah. Like we would be like dying sick and I'll be like, it's fine. You're going to school.
Landon Austin
Put some dirt in it.
Jordan
The craziest thing I've never seen. They also say you're sarcastic.
Sponsor Voice 2
I've never seen you worry and.
Jordan
Or be sarcastic.
Olivia Austin
Oh, I feel like I worry a lot. I don't know if I'm Really. I'm not very sarcastic.
Danny
I feel like you worry.
Jordan
I've never seen you worry.
Olivia Austin
Really internal. She'd be like all the time.
Landon Austin
This. I saw this on TikTok. This means I'm gonna die because this is on my finger. Like, everything. She has, everything ever seen on Tik Tok, she has it or she thinks she has it.
Danny
Are you getting your. So is it from Tik Tok? Like, everything?
Olivia Austin
Probably, yeah.
Danny
The propaganda.
Olivia Austin
Yeah, probably.
Jordan
Oh, tell. Tell them what you signed.
Olivia Austin
Or maybe land petition against the data centers.
Landon Austin
Okay, here's the thing. I. I always worry when she signs a petition because I know she doesn't know what she's signing. And then she'll ask for my phone, like, I need to sign this. And I said, what are you signing? She said. She said the data centers are too loud for the baby animals and they're going deaf. And I'm like, there's. I don't know if that's true. Like, that's so outlandish. We need to look into this. Let's not sign petitions without talking about it.
Danny
The Ovon and Matt and Matt Rife were talking about the data centers. They're very anti data centers.
Landon Austin
I get that there's reasons people don't like it, but I don't think it's because of the animal's hearing. Like, I don't think that's the reason.
Jordan
No, I really think they started. Okay, so.
Danny
Okay, here we go.
Jordan
They started. And I don't know where I stand with this.
Sponsor Voice 2
I'm just going to say that.
Jordan
But there was a big Utah one that the shark tank guy was in, Kevin o'. Leary. And it got blocked by city council or whatever because you have to get it through zoning. And he basically hired this private investigation team and he found that all of the IP addresses where all the dissent was coming from online was from a foreign government. So he took the stance of, like, this is actually foreign governments, like, not wanting us to be ahead of in the air race. Because here's the thing. The only thing that is going to set us back in the air race is compute. That's what everyone's fighting over is data center space. It's data center space because we need more compute power. Because, like, you know how, like, when you're talking to chat GBT and it like, loses memory?
Danny
I'm like. I'm like, chat. Can you put a blue sofa here? What will this look like?
Jordan
It's because we need more memory. That is processing power computer. And that's the holdup that and power. And so I feel like they tried to start blocking the data centers by saying it was going to cause a water crisis. And I don't feel like that worked. No one cared. And then they were like, liv, you're killing the baby animals. And she was like, absolutely no data center.
Landon Austin
You're hurting their hearing.
Olivia Austin
Worked for me. I signed it multiple times.
Jordan
No, I know. I think it's genius. Now everyone's going to block it.
Danny
This might be a dumb question, but why can't they just put the data centers a little bit further out?
Jordan
Where is the one in Nashville? Is it genuinely by the zoo?
Danny
Like, why does it have to be next to the zoo?
Olivia Austin
I don't know.
Danny
Why can't they put it, like, you know, Thompson Station or something?
Sponsor Voice 2
I don't know.
Landon Austin
I don't know.
Jordan
Well, the. The. I want. I don't know that either, actually.
Landon Austin
I don't know.
Jordan
Maybe it has to be, like, geographically close. Yeah.
Danny
Huh.
Landon Austin
Either way, we kind of have some PTSD when it comes to politics and. Cause when we first started dating, one of our first dates, I took her to vote in a local election.
Danny
Is this 2020?
Landon Austin
This is. No, no, it wasn't, like, a national election. It was local council members.
Danny
Like, we all have ptsd.
Olivia Austin
It's not just you.
Landon Austin
No, no. So one of our first. We were only dating, like, a month, and there was a local election I cared about. Had something to do with public transit or something. So I took her to vote because she had a Tennessee id but she was living in Indiana, and so I thought it would work, but it didn't, and they kicked her out, and she. She didn't get in trouble, but they turned her away.
Danny
In California, you can vote with nothing.
Landon Austin
Yeah. But here, it's.
Danny
It's not that bad.
Olivia Austin
Yeah. They couldn't find my address, and I. I told him it wasn't going to work because it was, like, an old address, but my ID said it, and she's like, I can't find your address on here. I'm so sorry. Like, I'll call down and figure this out. I was like, you know what? It's okay. Let me go home and, like, refill out my.
Landon Austin
So if that was now, she would leave me if she got turned away.
Danny
Do you. Do you hate getting in trouble?
Olivia Austin
Yes. I don't like to break the rules.
Landon Austin
No.
Olivia Austin
Really? I don't know, which is hard with you guys, because I feel like y'. All. No.
Jordan
They were literally raised to bend rules.
Landon Austin
Here's our motto. Ask forgiveness, don't ask permission.
Danny
It's not about breaking the rules. It's just about finding another way to get by them.
Olivia Austin
Yeah.
Jordan
Yeah. Which is breaking the rules.
Landon Austin
Yeah.
Jordan
Bend. You don't bend. You or you bend, you don't break.
Danny
What do you feel like?
Jordan
But your mom.
Danny
Are you scared of getting in trouble?
Landon Austin
Never.
Olivia Austin
No.
Landon Austin
No. Because what's the worst that could happen?
Jordan
I feel like y' all were raised. Y' all were raised.
Danny
That's how I, like, I'm like, the worst thing that happens is I get kicked out of my house. I have to live on the street.
Landon Austin
I'd be a first time offender. They wouldn't do anything for that.
Jordan
Y'.
Olivia Austin
All.
Jordan
Y' all were raised to believe that the establishment was against you and your job is to survive. Against us.
Danny
It is against us.
Landon Austin
It is against us.
Jordan
It's true.
Danny
No, that is so true. Did you get in trouble as a kid?
Landon Austin
No, no, No.
Danny
I didn't feel like you. I felt like you cared about getting in trouble.
Landon Austin
No, I don't. No. I just kind of did my own thing. I wasn't.
Danny
Yeah, you did make a lot of Cs. And like, I would have never.
Landon Austin
Yeah, like, why does it matter? Yeah, like, really, why do your grades matter?
Jordan
He was ahead of his time.
Landon Austin
Yeah.
Olivia Austin
That surprises me.
Landon Austin
That didn't affect me at all, what I studied in college. Completely irrelevant.
Danny
Didn't affect my life same. But I was like, such an achiever. Like, I just wanted it to say I had it.
Landon Austin
That's right. You wanted to be class president. You wanted to dance, country dance, all this stuff. I'm like, why? Like, why?
Olivia Austin
I don't know.
Danny
It was like my worth.
Landon Austin
You're not going to be a country western dancer. When's the last time you did that?
Danny
It's been a while. But honestly, I blame it on Jordan because he doesn't like to dance.
Jordan
Yeah, she does blame it on me.
Olivia Austin
She does.
Jordan
But, yeah, y' all were very different.
Danny
Yeah, we were very.
Jordan
You know what's so funny about. I don't know if this is, like, breaking news, but what's so funny about your degree? Have you ever shared.
Landon Austin
Oh, that I didn't get the degree that I did.
Danny
I told Jordan this the other day.
Landon Austin
I was like, my mind was blown.
Olivia Austin
Oh, my God.
Danny
Mom is behind us.
Olivia Austin
Can you.
Landon Austin
Well. Cause mom and dad are like, go study finance because you can be really successful in finance.
Danny
Is this the first time she's hearing this?
Landon Austin
I mean, I don't. Maybe, but I was touring a lot in college. I was always Gone. And so that's not an easy degree to miss classes. So I just talked to my counselor, and we switched me to general business, which I think mom and dad would have freaked, and I switched to general business, and no one ever knew.
Jordan
They told all their friends.
Danny
Mom still thinks to this day that you got a degree in finance.
Olivia Austin
No. Yes.
Danny
She just said, it's okay.
Jordan
Y' all are successful.
Landon Austin
It matters. Yeah, I wasn't gonna use business anyway.
Danny
No, I get it. I majored in, like, exercise science, kinesiology, biology. Yeah, and, like.
Jordan
And then you both became YouTubers.
Danny
I can't remember anything, like, at all.
Landon Austin
That's right. We should have studied film editing and video editing and production and audio and all.
Jordan
But honestly, if you studied it, you probably wouldn't have probably grinded.
Landon Austin
Probably done business. Yeah.
Olivia Austin
Yeah.
Danny
That's so true. So would you say that, like, opposites attract, and that makes sense in your relationship? Like, do y' all feel like you're opposites?
Olivia Austin
Yeah, I would say we're opposite about a lot of stuff.
Landon Austin
I think that what attracted her was I spent that dollar rose on Hinge and sent it to her so I could cut the line. And I was her first and only Hinge date ever. Just think, if I didn't pay the
Olivia Austin
99 cents all the time that he pays a dollar. A dollar to save the dollar.
Landon Austin
It was worth every cent. If I wouldn't have paid the dollar, you'd have gone out with someone else. We would not be here right now.
Danny
Wait, so tell me about your experience on Hinge. So you. You only had one date on Hinge, and it was Landon?
Olivia Austin
Yeah, he called me.
Landon Austin
I.
Olivia Austin
What, you, like, messaged and was like, what's your number?
Landon Austin
And then you called me, I said, hey, there. And we exchanged, like, one message, and I said, just give me your number. I'll call you. And for three days, she didn't respond, so I thought she ghosted me.
Jordan
And then you did the rose?
Landon Austin
No, I did the rose.
Olivia Austin
I've never been on a date on Hinge, and I don't know, like, I had it, but, like, didn't, you know, like, talk to people on it.
Danny
Yeah.
Olivia Austin
And so I feel like you pursued me and, like, asked me on an actual date and called me, and that's how it, like, worked out.
Danny
What was your first date?
Olivia Austin
We went to a rooftop in Nashville. The W. That's right. Good old rooftop.
Danny
What did you think after the first date?
Olivia Austin
I thought it went good. Yeah.
Landon Austin
Oh, it went better than that.
Olivia Austin
I thought it went.
Landon Austin
You showed me the text. She texted her friends, you want to tell them? You want me to tell them?
Olivia Austin
Yeah.
Landon Austin
She texted and said that we were going to get married.
Jordan
Wow.
Olivia Austin
I don't know if it was exactly that.
Landon Austin
No, she said. She said he was awesome. The date was amazing. We're getting married.
Danny
Were there any red flags? You be honest. You're married with a child now.
Olivia Austin
I don't think there were any red flags.
Landon Austin
She has some now, but at the time.
Olivia Austin
Definitely red flags now.
Danny
What are the. What are the red flags now?
Olivia Austin
I don't know.
Jordan
I heard the Valentine's Day.
Landon Austin
What was the Valentine's Day?
Jordan
Yeah, that didn't.
Landon Austin
Oh, no, let me defend myself.
Jordan
I know it was your first.
Landon Austin
We went. No, no, no. We went to Dallas, and Mom has this amazing Breville coffee maker, and Liv's been obsessed. Liv gets Starbucks every single day. She told me, and I quote, if we get this Breville, it's like a $1,200 machine. I'll never get Starbucks again. I'm like, wait, wait.
Danny
This is not a story we've heard.
Jordan
Yeah, I've never heard this story. I was talking about.
Landon Austin
This is a different story.
Jordan
I was talking about how you didn't know that the flowers would sell out.
Landon Austin
Oh, that's another problem.
Danny
We'll go back to that. But tell us the Breville story.
Landon Austin
So I got her the Breville, thinking this is what she wanted, but then she told me it was a gift for myself when I'm thinking this is what she said she wanted.
Danny
Oh, like. Oh, so she thought that you got. Yeah, I've experienced that before, you know, where, like. No. Where I get a gift, but I really. It's for me.
Landon Austin
Well, I use it.
Jordan
Really? Which gifts?
Danny
I don't know. I used to think about it.
Jordan
I always get you, like, designer bags. Like, I don't want them.
Danny
I told the wrong gift for me.
Olivia Austin
If I say it's for you.
Jordan
Yes, for sure. It's like, you don't like my shoes. And so you're like, I got you these shoes.
Olivia Austin
Yeah. Yeah.
Jordan
And it's like, you really just don't like my shoes.
Landon Austin
Yes.
Olivia Austin
Yeah. Wait, I do have to say something. We didn't have an argument about the Breville, though.
Landon Austin
Yeah. It's been more, like, under the breath, like, that was a gift.
Olivia Austin
But I will say something now that I never said to you is that it was the wrong color.
Jordan
Oh, that's what did it.
Olivia Austin
But we never. That wasn't an argument, though.
Landon Austin
They didn't have pink, the Breville.
Danny
Did you want Pink?
Olivia Austin
No, I wanted the white and gold one, but I never told him. Now I'm telling you.
Landon Austin
That hurts. Well, next Valentine's Day, you're gonna have
Danny
flowers a couple days before you have two Brevilles.
Landon Austin
Two Brevilles.
Olivia Austin
I picked my battles. I was like, you know what? I can't. I can't tell them that it wasn't the right color.
Jordan
Yeah. You said something the other day. It was like, yesterday. You were like, yeah, you know, I just don't understand, because if Liv is feeling something, I just want to fix it. And I just laughed because I was like, oh, man. We all go through that.
Landon Austin
There's no because.
Jordan
It's not about fixing it.
Danny
It's about listening.
Jordan
It's about listening.
Landon Austin
Solutions are irrelevant.
Jordan
Solutions are irrelevant because you actually, at least. Danny. She wants to fix it herself. She just wants me to understand.
Danny
Well, it depends. If I want you to fix it, I'll be like, can you fix it?
Jordan
Yeah. You'll say directly, can I fix it?
Danny
But I'm more bossy. Like, I'm just like, hey, can you do. Like, can you please go do this?
Landon Austin
Yeah.
Jordan
And then I'm like, okay. She wants to do that. But if you're like, I'm feeling sad about this. I'm, like, silent.
Danny
The worst is when. No, the worst is when they're like, do you want me to listen, or do you want me to fix it? And I'm like, ew, stop. Don't even ask me that.
Olivia Austin
Just be here.
Jordan
It's like, I want you to know what I want.
Danny
Yeah. I'm like,
Jordan
that's the number one thing. I want you to read my mind and know what I want. And if you don't, then it's on you. That's, like.
Landon Austin
That's the most relatable thing.
Jordan
That's hard.
Danny
It's true. It's true.
Jordan
But you master it.
Danny
Yeah. So you're 38 weeks pregnant. You're about a year and a half into marriage, Both of y'.
Olivia Austin
All.
Landon Austin
Both.
Danny
Both, obviously. How are y' all doing?
Olivia Austin
I think pretty good.
Landon Austin
Yeah. Pretty good.
Olivia Austin
I think I'm a little emotional. A lot emotional right now.
Danny
Like, I can't tell.
Jordan
See, that's the thing. I don't see this from you either.
Danny
You seem like just like Steady Eddie all the time.
Jordan
Yeah.
Olivia Austin
Really?
Jordan
Oh, I hear in the. At the water cooler at the. At the family water cooler that you're emotional. I'm like, I don't see, like, Liv
Danny
will be, like, so stressed out. Like, let's just say, like, it's like, something like, you can't find something to wear. Trustee. And I get stressed out about stuff like that. And I'm like, she's fine. And then Landon will be like, no, she's really stressed out. I'm like, no, she's not. Like, I'm. I really cannot tell.
Olivia Austin
Yeah, I feel like. People say that I feel like I'm internally stressed out, but I might not show it or.
Danny
That's hard because then how do we know? Because then we just probably push you, like, far. Like, our family is very pushy about things. And, like, if you don't tell us, like, hey, like. And you don't tell us the boundary, we think you're okay. Like, yesterday, we had. What was it y' all wanted to shoot?
Landon Austin
A reel we wanted to shoot, and you wanted live to be part of it. But it meant she had to leave the house right now. And she wasn't aware. She wasn't dressed, she wasn't ready. So. I know Liv. So I went to talk to her, say, hey, do you want to go do this? But I could tell she was stressed, so I told y' all just to go because she's scared to let anyone down.
Danny
I know, but it's like. But we wouldn't have known that. And so mom and I would have just kept pushing.
Jordan
Yeah.
Danny
And be like, liv, get your stuff. And, like, get in the car. Let's go. Like, you know, you gotta.
Jordan
You gotta get better about boundaries. Don't teach you a lot.
Danny
No, I like, because we. Not only that, but, like, we are not very good at reading people unless they tell us it's. It's bad.
Landon Austin
That's right.
Danny
And, like. And then I. Because I look at you, I'm like, she's fine.
Olivia Austin
Yeah. No, I feel like I was fine. I wasn't really stressed out, to be honest.
Landon Austin
Yeah, you weren't upset or anything, but I could definitely tell you were, like, it was overwhelming, and you're gonna be happier if you're not overwhelmed. So I just told them to go so you could, like, take your time.
Danny
I hate when, like, I don't know what I'm gonna wear, and I'm, like, not ready, and people are like, I. I get really stressed out.
Olivia Austin
Yeah.
Jordan
Usually I can read people, though. And I. I. Your poker face. I would have had no idea you were stressed.
Danny
You know who else is like, that is Nene. Tam Tam.
Jordan
Yeah.
Sponsor Voice 1
I can't.
Jordan
That's why I'm saying this family, we
Danny
push Nene over the edge, though.
Jordan
He'll push you off the ship,
Landon Austin
they'll
Jordan
work you to the boat.
Landon Austin
It's so true.
Jordan
And then be like. And then you' tired. And they're like, what? You've been feeling this for years.
Danny
Yeah.
Olivia Austin
Yeah. I will say you guys are always on the go. Like, y' all don't stop. Like, I don't understand. Y' all don't get tired. I feel like especially, no, I get tired.
Jordan
But Danny, Stella and Tornado, they're built the same. They'll never get tired.
Danny
I took a rest last night.
Jordan
You literally sleep last night? No, she arrest was she sat down for 30 minutes and then she wanted to go get ice cream in downtown Franklin.
Olivia Austin
We did.
Danny
We went down there.
Olivia Austin
So cute.
Landon Austin
Very cute.
Danny
So cute. I'm like, I could see us just moving to Franklin one day.

Father's Day is coming up and I feel like dads are some of the hardest people to shop for because most of us just say, I'm good, I don't need anything. Which usually means everyone else is left trying to figure out what we actually want. That's why I like Cozy Earth. It's the kind of thing I probably wouldn't have gone out and bought for myself, but once I started using it, I totally understood the hype. Their bamboo sheet set is genuinely one of those upgrades you notice right away. And for summer, I've really been liking the every wear pant and everyday polo. They're comfortable, lightweight, easy to move around in, and they somehow work whether you're running errands, heading to dinner, or chasing kids around all day. What stands out to me is that they don't just feel good when you first put them on. They end up becoming the clothes you keep reaching for over and over again. I can totally understand why people buy multiple pairs and Cozy Earth stands behind everything they make. With a 100 night sleep trial on the sheets, a lifetime warranty on the clothing, and hassle free returns. If anything isn't right for the dads, stepdads, grandpas, and every father figure who shows up, this one's for them. Cozy Earth's bamboo sheet set everywhere pant and everyday polo are designed to keep him cool, comfortable, and actually relaxed all summer long. Dad lives here.

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

Landon Austin
Okay, one more thing I have to say about LIVE to give her a lot of credit because we are very opposite. She's very opposite than our family. She's very empathetic, so she's always like, oh, I don't know if I said something that hurt their feelings or, like, she's always thinking about conversations she had with people. Like, do you think I went too far?
Jordan
No, that's a necessary.
Landon Austin
And we're not like that at all.
Jordan
No, that's why I think it's good.
Landon Austin
We probably hurt a lot of feelings, and we're like, oh, they're fine.
Olivia Austin
Like, to a fault, though. Like, I don't like being like that.
Danny
Really?
Olivia Austin
Yeah. Cause I'll just, like, overanalyze something I said. I'm like, did I offend them?
Landon Austin
It's the least offensive thing ever.
Danny
Yeah.
Jordan
But I think that's where the balancing act is really good for y'.
Olivia Austin
All. Yeah.
Jordan
You know, so. So. But I'm just curious, like, you are probably more emotional now. Are y'.
Landon Austin
All.
Jordan
Are y' all good? Because y' all are kind of at that phase in every pregnancy, and we've been through four where it's hard to be good right now.
Olivia Austin
We're good right now.
Landon Austin
Yeah, we're good.
Olivia Austin
It just depends on the day or the hour.
Danny
What's, like, the hardest thing right now?
Landon Austin
Hardest thing? I would say at first, Liv was adjusting to getting pregnant and how her body would change. And that, I think, took a toll. She's totally cool with it now. I would say you're, like, owning it.
Olivia Austin
You kind of just had to let it go, you know? But, like, once you start gaining weight, it, like. And, like, your clothes aren't fitting right. Like, I feel like that.
Danny
Did you have a hard time? You just felt ugly? Yeah, same. It's so hard. And then, like. Did you ever get the armpit fat?
Olivia Austin
Oh, yeah.
Danny
I call it the armpit vagina. It just is, like.
Olivia Austin
Yeah, it's. No, it's there.
Danny
It's so bad.
Landon Austin
She doesn't have that. No, you have that, but she does not have that.
Olivia Austin
Landon, Definitely.
Danny
I didn't know you were checking out my armpits.
Landon Austin
No, I try not to. I would say Liv's always happy when she has a tan, so if she's feeling feisty, maybe get her a spray tan.
Danny
We're kind of the same.
Olivia Austin
Yeah.
Danny
And, like, I have to have. Like, I have to have time to get ready, like, put on my full face, like, feel good about my hair and makeup or, like, I don't want to go.
Olivia Austin
Yeah, no, same.
Danny
Yeah, I get that.
Olivia Austin
Yeah. Especially pregnant, it's hard.
Danny
It's really hard. But, yeah, you do kind of have to Let it go and just let the bump speak for itself.
Olivia Austin
Yeah.
Landon Austin
Yep. And the only thing, I feel like really stressing her out now. She's totally cool. I feel like I don't want to speak for you, but it seems like you're happier with how things are going. Except she really wants her baby to flip because we're breach every day.
Jordan
We're gonna be in the pool.
Landon Austin
Yeah. Doing handstands in the pool. Chiropractor, acupuncture.
Danny
Where are you getting, like, all of this information? From TikTok.
Olivia Austin
TikTok and people on Instagram.
Danny
Good sources.
Landon Austin
I don't know if you know this, but people, like, the crowd knows What?
Jordan
Hive mind.
Landon Austin
I had a wart on this finger for five years. I've been battling this thing. Liv won't let me touch her as long as I've known her. This hand. Can't touch her with this hand. I have to wear a glove. Like, it's crazy. I've had a war. About a month ago, Instagram told me to put apple cider vinegar on it every day. Gone.
Danny
Did you put it? Because I just got a war on my foot. It's on the top and it's really little. It's like a cute little one.
Landon Austin
Apple cider vinegar.
Danny
Apple cider every day. Did you put it on and, like, with a band aid over it, did you just, like, kind of drip?
Landon Austin
I just duct taped a cotton swab. And it burns.
Olivia Austin
Yeah. Duct tape everywhere it went. Like.
Danny
You always had a lot of warts growing up.
Landon Austin
No, I never got it from you, probably. I mean, really?
Danny
Oh, come on. Yeah, I was not as warty as you.
Olivia Austin
I had a wart too, growing up. I think I was from softball.
Danny
Yeah, mine was from volleyball.
Olivia Austin
Really? Yeah. You played softball for a year and a half. Like, two summers. I was really good the first year, and it was like, with the machine, and then they moved me up, I think, cuz my age. And then it. I was really bad in the next league, so then I quit.
Danny
Y' all realize you might have really tall children? So l is 59. Are you five' nine?
Olivia Austin
About. Yeah.
Danny
A little bit taller.
Olivia Austin
Five' nine. Five eight and a half.
Danny
Five nine's a great, great height. That's like my dream height.
Olivia Austin
Really? Yeah. You're pretty tall too, though.
Danny
I'm five' six. No, I would say five' six is, like, pretty normal. But five' nine was always, like, my dream height.
Olivia Austin
Really? Yeah.
Danny
You could have really tall, athletic kids. Actually, they say that the athleticism comes from the mom. Are you Pretty athletic.
Olivia Austin
I feel like I was pretty athletic. Yeah, I was pretty fast.
Landon Austin
Yeah. I'm married for jeans, you know. You have some tall kids. Her dad and sisters are tall.
Danny
We talked about this, but. So since you did music growing up, are you gonna force your kids to play any instruments?
Landon Austin
No, no. I'll let them figure out what they want.
Olivia Austin
You can't.
Danny
But mom forced you and you wouldn't.
Landon Austin
Yeah, I hated it for like four years.
Danny
Yeah.
Sponsor Voice 1
But look, look at you now.
Landon Austin
I know. I don't do music anymore, so.
Danny
Really, like, you're not gonna force your kids to do anything.
Landon Austin
No, no, I didn't say not anything. I'm not gonna force to do music. I think they should be into something. Could be chess.
Danny
But what if they're not into anything?
Landon Austin
What if they're into, like, I don't know, playing poker? Like something.
Danny
Yeah, what if they're into playing video games?
Landon Austin
I mean, that's tough.
Danny
Well, we need to think about these things.
Landon Austin
I know, I know.
Sponsor Voice 2
This day and age, too, because it
Jordan
could turn into something.
Landon Austin
It could. That's a really good.
Danny
Practice your video games every day.
Landon Austin
If they're into it, they're going to do it every day. They're going to practice.
Jordan
No enjoyment. There's like a whole market of, like, Fortnite coaches.
Danny
Oh, I have a good question. What about if your child, when they're like eight years old, is like, I want to be a YouTuber.
Landon Austin
Ah, that's tough.
Danny
I know, that's tough.
Landon Austin
It's very saturated back when we did it, very nerdy. And it was not hard to get a following.
Danny
Yeah.
Landon Austin
Now it's not the people you want followed you, but it was something. I'm kidding. I don't know. I don't think there's any shame in that. It's just very competitive. It's like being an actor.
Danny
Would you. Okay. What about if your child, when they're eight, like, want to be posting on social media, though?
Landon Austin
Oh, no.
Danny
Like, you had run their account.
Jordan
Yeah, Yeah, I think you have to.
Landon Austin
You have to. I don't think they can.
Danny
No, I know, but they legally, you know. But they do there. They get on their phone, their parents phones, and they start posting stuff like,
Olivia Austin
my little brother's age, he likes YouTube.
Danny
Yeah.
Olivia Austin
He likes to watch cooking stuff on YouTube, like steaks and stuff.
Danny
Wait, and he's eight?
Olivia Austin
Yeah. Actually, he might be nine now, but he also likes to watch, like, video games. People playing video games.
Danny
Wait, that's so funny.
Landon Austin
Yeah.
Olivia Austin
Eight seems so little. But then whenever I picture him like if he wanted to do that, I could see, see him like having a YouTube show, can't you? Like he likes to watch it. I feel like he's like to watch.
Landon Austin
What if he comes and says he wants to work a normal nine to five? You don't know.
Olivia Austin
That's great.
Landon Austin
That would be very unique for our family. But I mean if you want to do it, pursue your dreams.
Sponsor Voice 1
Very unique.
Danny
Except for Nene's been at her same job for 45 years. It's very impressive.
Sponsor Voice 2
True.
Danny
Maybe she'll be a YouTuber one day.
Olivia Austin
Yeah.
Jordan
If tornado loops are in.
Landon Austin
Yeah. Here's the thing. By the time our kids are that age, there's going to be something new anyway.
Jordan
Yeah.
Landon Austin
You know, it's not going to be
Jordan
the whole world different probably.
Landon Austin
Or TikTok.
Olivia Austin
Yeah.
Danny
That's so true. Okay. So you know, baby could come any minute. What are you all most nervous about when it comes to becoming parents?
Landon Austin
What do you got? I would say I don't know anything. Like in the past few months I learned that you can't give a. Can't give a newborn water. Like that's the new thing.
Danny
That's the new thing or a new thing.
Landon Austin
Just learned how to swaddle. We took a class.
Olivia Austin
Okay.
Danny
About swaddling.
Landon Austin
Yeah. I didn't take any notes though, so I'm worried.
Olivia Austin
I don't class and literally all they teach you is how to swaddle and how to change their diaper. Like the bare minimum. That was the only two things.
Danny
That's so funny. What about like do they teach you what cradle cap is or when teething starts?
Landon Austin
I don't know about the cradle cap. I don't know about the teething.
Olivia Austin
They taught us about the head, the cone.
Landon Austin
They showed us pictures of babies with coneheads.
Danny
Oh, okay. Didn't you have a cone head?
Landon Austin
Yeah. So apparently the story goes, our dad threw away my newborn pictures because I had a conehead.
Danny
Because you got stuck in the birth canal.
Landon Austin
Right. And I always thought that was, you know, sad and lame. But then I saw pictures of babies of coneheads and now I kind of relate to them. Yeah. If our baby looked like that, I'd probably throw the pictures out too.
Olivia Austin
Yeah.
Danny
They get stuck and they're, their skulls are soft.
Landon Austin
I, I'm aware of that.
Danny
Yeah. So another thing that I just want to tell you guys about a baby that like I didn't know and it really freaked me out is they go cross eyed a lot and don't be scared. Yeah. So I just want you guys, to know that it's totally normal.
Jordan
Yeah.
Landon Austin
It's okay.
Danny
They, like, are like, they really.
Sponsor Voice 2
She's being serious.
Jordan
Yeah.
Landon Austin
Okay.
Danny
And it's all babies.
Landon Austin
It's all okay.
Jordan
We're like, it's all babies.
Danny
I promise you. It's all babies.
Olivia Austin
Okay.
Danny
No, they. Not for long. Probably like the first, like six weeks of life.
Landon Austin
Really?
Danny
Yeah, it's.
Olivia Austin
It doesn't stay like that.
Danny
No. Just make sure you don't, like, hit them on the head when it happens.
Landon Austin
No, obviously not. But I remember, like, one of your children had the baby helmet.
Danny
Yes.
Landon Austin
I always thought that was for safety. Isn't that an aesthetic thing?
Danny
Yes, it's. It's totally for aesthetics. It's probably like if you had the cone head.
Landon Austin
Yeah.
Danny
And you wanted to like round it out and like get, you know, then you can put them in the helmet. But it's not for safety and it's not for, like anything outside of aesthetics.
Landon Austin
Oh. I always thought it was safety because, like, my head has lumps on it and I feel like if I had a helmet.
Danny
No, you definitely could have used a. Yeah, a helmet for sure. You can tell, like, there's people these days and you're like, you probably needed that helmet.
Olivia Austin
Yeah, yeah.
Danny
No, only Stratton had the helmet.
Olivia Austin
But it's so, so cute. Cute.
Jordan
Yeah.
Danny
No, he's a great shaped head and
Landon Austin
it adds, like, the extra benefit of being safe Fall over. Right. Especially if they're cross eyed. They can't see what.
Sponsor Voice 2
They should all be wearing helmets.
Danny
That's another thing that I taught Landon the other day that he didn't know that babies also can't see. Like, so they are like.
Sponsor Voice 1
It's all blurry pretty much.
Danny
That's why they're attracted. Or they look at high contrast shapes in like geometric shapes or lights or whatever because they can't see anything until they're about like six months.
Olivia Austin
Wow. I didn't know that until recently.
Danny
Yeah. It's pretty crazy. Trying to think what else was kind of shocking.
Jordan
The water one got me too. I'm not gonna lie. Yeah. Just that babies don't drink water.
Olivia Austin
Yeah.
Jordan
That blew my mind.
Danny
Like, how did they figure that out? Type of thing.
Jordan
Yeah. And is it. You said it was a new thing. Is that a new thing?
Landon Austin
No, new thing for me. Oh.
Jordan
Well, I was like. I was like, were we giving babies water 10 years ago?
Landon Austin
Obviously you can breastfeed, right? And if you don't, you can do formula. There's water in that, right?
Danny
Yeah, but. Yeah, but I think they're not like, it's just not good for them to have like sitting water in their stomach.
Jordan
Oh, tell them where it takes a village comes from. This is always a fun.
Danny
Oh yeah. So. Well, they also used to have wet nurses. Do you know what that is?
Landon Austin
You can guess underwater.
Olivia Austin
Okay, good guess.
Landon Austin
Because babies can swim, right? Newborns.
Danny
So that's kind of true. They can do ISR and you just throw them in there and they turn over on their back.
Landon Austin
Okay.
Olivia Austin
But.
Jordan
But three months plus.
Olivia Austin
Yeah.
Landon Austin
Okay. We're not going to mess with.
Danny
Especially if they're cross eyed. So wet nurses were nurses back in the day that breastfed for you.
Landon Austin
Oh wow.
Danny
So they would. And where the term it takes a village comes from is breastfeeding. They just like back in the village
Landon Austin
times, just pass the babies.
Danny
You would pass the babies around and every. Every mom would breastfeed, feed because sometimes they didn't have enough.
Landon Austin
Oh wow.
Sponsor Voice 2
Which also makes sense because when you're
Jordan
trying to keep up with the village, it's like impossible for when you're breastfeeding. You have to stop every.
Danny
Yeah.
Jordan
Two hours. It's like impossible to.
Olivia Austin
It's.
Danny
It's insane amount of work. Yeah.
Sponsor Voice 2
It takes a village.
Danny
It takes. And that's why like it'll. I think it'll be really interesting for you like when you're in labor. I mean you'll. I think you're planning on the epidural, but like it's so weird. Like it's so instinctual. I feel like for labor to be like a woman's game. Like when you have like the female nurses and you have all these women around you that have been through it. Like it's so like I just was like, even though you want your husband there, it was so much like me relying on other females.
Jordan
Well, I don't think husbands started coming in until like what, the 70s, 80s maybe. Like it used to be like husbands would just like with a cigar in the way. Yeah. Out in the lobby.
Danny
But I could see. I. I always thought that was crazy. But then after going through it, especially a couple of unmedicated births, like I get it now. Yeah, I get it. Because like what do they.
Jordan
Danny's trad wife journey has been something that should be studied.
Landon Austin
Really.
Danny
I've gone pretty extreme.
Landon Austin
You're saying you get why the husband's born in the room?
Danny
Yeah, I mean they're really. Besides like the, you know, it's nice to be able to hold hands and stuff. But like you do not rely. I. I would say More for, like, an unmedicated birth. You don't rely on the men in the room at all because they truly have no idea what's going on. There's no way that they could understand.
Landon Austin
Like, Right.
Danny
And it's just like, you want other females around that have been there, done that, understand, get it? Like, they know exactly where it's hurting. They know exactly what to do because it's so. It's like nothing you've ever done before. And so, like, for Jordan to be like, breathe. I'd be. I'd, like, want to slap him. Like, he made a joke in the waiting room when I was, like, in the middle of a contraction. And I've never been more livid in my life. Like, you know, it just, like, wasn't funny.
Jordan
Like, what did I say?
Landon Austin
Were you mad because it wasn't funny or you mad?
Danny
No, I was mad because he was stupid talking.
Landon Austin
Oh, yeah, she's just.
Jordan
Just my general.
Landon Austin
Yeah, I get it.
Danny
No, but it wasn't you. It's like, I get that. No, it's. Every female feels that way.
Jordan
No, I know.
Danny
Like, I don't.
Jordan
I don't take. No, I don't take anything. Yeah.
Sponsor Voice 2
I don't take it personally.
Danny
No, it's like, a lot of. It's just. Yeah, it's just. It's interesting.
Jordan
That's my biggest pro tip, is I don't know if you take anything she says personally now or. No, you have to let it go.
Landon Austin
Go.
Jordan
Let it bounce off. Because I took. For our probably first two babies, I took everything personally. She'd be like, I'm livid with you. And I'd be like, we'd spend three days trying to figure out why she was livid three days ago.
Danny
I didn't even know you're talking about.
Landon Austin
Just while she was pregnant.
Jordan
Just in general. Yeah. I take nothing personally.

Summer with kids is a whole different thing. You're packing snacks, towels, sunscreen, extra clothes, and somehow still forgetting something every single time. So anything that makes the pool, lake, or beach days a little easier is a win. That's why we've loved Minnow. Minow is a family lifestyle brand that feels timeless, fresh, playful, and polished, but still really practical for real family life. Their girls, Rash Guard One Piece Boys boardies, and Unisex Rash Guard shirts are some of their best sellers, and I totally get why. They're easy to put on, easy to take off, and they have the right amount of stretch. Every suit is designed with comfort, performance, and protection in mind. All suits have UPF 50 protection blocking 98% of UVA and UVB rays, which is huge when you're outside and the fabric has that buttery, smooth feel, but it's still made to hold up through multiple seasons. I also love that Minnow's collections allow the whole family to coordinate without feeling like everyone is wearing the exact same thing. It feels elevated but still simple and easy. This summer, Minho goes to Cape Cod, a place defined by tradition rather than discovery. The summer 2026 collection is built for the feeling of being back salt air, striped towels and jumps off the dock pieces made for the summers your kids will remember. Shop the summer collection starting May 14th at shopmino.com and enter code meatminow15 at checkout to receive 15% off your first order. That's shopminow.com code meatminow15 for 15% off your first order. You know, summer is almost here and for our family that means we're already talking about vacations, time with the kids, and trying to make some great memories.
Jordan
The last thing I want to be
Sponsor Voice 2
doing is stressing about whether we're on top of our finances while we're trying to enjoy it. That's why I've been trying to get more organized financially so I can spend less time thinking about money and more time being present with my family. Monarch is the personal finance app that tracks everything accounts, investments, savings goals and spending. One thing I like about Monarch is that it puts everything in one place. Sometimes you don't realize how much lifestyle expenses have crept up until you can actually see it. Having that visibility makes it a lot easier to make adjustments before it becomes a problem. I also love that you can ask Monarch's AI assistant questions like can I afford this vacation without touching my savings? Or how much did I spend on travel last summer? It's a really simple way to get answers without digging through accounts yourself. Plus, the weekly AI recap gives you a heads up on spending spikes, net worth changes and upcoming expenses so there are fewer surprises. Use code danny@monarch.com to get your first year half off. At just $50, that's 50% off your first year@monarch.com with code Dani I love
Sponsor Voice 1
when a product smells so good that people actually stop and ask what you're wearing. And with salt and stone, it's not even perfume, it's deodorant. Their discovery set is the perfect way to try their award winning deodorant and find your signature scent. It comes with all four Santol, Bergamot, Saffron and Neroli so you can actually test them and see which one feels the most like you. I love this because sometimes ordering a scent online feels impossible. So the Discovery set lets you try all of them without committing to just one. And this deodorant really works for me. It's aluminum free, formulated for 48 hour protection, and each product is made with a careful blend of antioxidant and nutrient rich ingredients. What I love most is that it feels elevated.
Danny
Like rich girl bathroom, five star resort.
Sponsor Voice 1
Everything smells amazing, kind of elevated. It makes your everyday routine feel a little more luxurious, which I'm always here for.

Olivia Austin
Yeah,

it's so true.
Olivia Austin
Well, recently, like, I feel like sometimes he'll order a bunch of Amazon stuff and like open it and halfway use it and then just kind of like leaves it there on the table. And so I'm like, I recently had to tell him, like, we have to put stuff away.
Danny
Is he pretty messy?
Olivia Austin
No, not really.
Landon Austin
I'm not. But like, we first got married, like, if I left a couple dishes in the sink, that does not make her very happy. So I feel like I'm pretty on top of the dishes now.
Olivia Austin
Yeah, it's been really good.
Landon Austin
And as far as, like, we do get a lot of Amazon packages. We do a lot of Amazon finds on Instagram. And so we'll have stuff around and the clutter stresses her out. So my role now is to make sure there's no clutter.
Olivia Austin
I'll just take a box and start putting all of his stuff in it and then I'll put it in the corner. And he, he's like, do you know where my wallet is?
Danny
I'm like, it's in your box in your design.

That's true.
Sponsor Voice 2
It was in your box.
Landon Austin
One thing Liv used to do was like, I'D buy too much food at the grocery store, and then she'd throw it away. One night I bought these, this bag of beans, bag of frijoles. I came home, they were gone. She threw them away. I was devastated.
Olivia Austin
Well, it's like every time he goes to the. Goes to Kroger, he'll get like, mustard or ketchup every single time. So we have multiple. And it's like the big bottles of ketchup, and I'm like, we don't need this much ketchup. I mean, I love ketchup, but, like, it's just. And our fridge is small. We don't have enough room.
Jordan
It's a. It's a. It's a guy thing.
Danny
It's such a mark thing. Remember, he always buys Fritos every time we go.
Landon Austin
But I was really craving beans that night, and I came home, brand new bag of beans, not even there. I was devastated.
Olivia Austin
I just start throwing stuff away, and I don't tell them no.

That was the most hurtful moment of our marriage. So, so relatable.

Switching gears a little bit, how do you guys feel about us moving to Nashville?

I'm so excited. I can't believe it.

We looked like once a year.

Can I give you a hot take? A few years ago, we were in the car and we were talking about Nashville, and you said you didn't like Nashville.

I didn't.
Landon Austin
You didn't. And so my hot take is. I don't know if you'll stay.
Danny
Okay. I. I could see me leaving.
Landon Austin
Yeah. Like, we get our hopes up, and it's going to be great, but a year from now, if you left, I wouldn't be shocked.
Danny
Yeah, no, I totally. It's crossed my mind for sure.
Jordan
My. My take.
Danny
But I will say that I am such a different person than I was back then.
Sponsor Voice 2
Yes.
Landon Austin
When you didn't like Nashville.
Danny
When I didn't like Nashville, I. I couldn't appreciate it because I wasn't in that stage of life of what it. It, like, has to offer. Because, like, I would say for, like, being single and, like, being married and. And working, I still, like, really love Dallas, but for raising a family, I think. I think I like national better.
Jordan
Yeah, I think. Because I know what you mean, too, because I was. I was a Proponent of Nashville. We were on the same page, like, the first four times we visited, but this past year, I was like, no, I think this is where we're supposed to be. And it was like, an evolution in Danny to get here and to be excited about it. She's probably more excited about Nashville than I am.
Landon Austin
Wow.
Danny
Well, I'm more like. I'm more like, I want to homeschool our kids. Like, I'm more.
Landon Austin
That's what I'm saying.
Danny
I'm almost, like, more extreme than he is. The Strad life journey the past year.
Jordan
Yeah, because it was like a. It was like a. For Danny, and you can tell me if I'm wrong. It was like a. Nashville was like a process of shedding skin for you. It was like, you know, you had to kind of let go of all these other identities and then accept, like, okay, we have four kids. We. We have to change a lot of things about our lives to be good parents to those four kids.
Sponsor Voice 2
And now we're here.
Danny
Yeah.
Jordan
And if we. My opinion, though, is if we do leave, because, like, the thing about all of you guys is Austin's is y' all do, like, new things. So it doesn't. It wouldn't surprise me if you were like, oh, like, I don't. I want to move somewhere else. But I don't think you'd be like, I want to move back to Dallas.
Danny
I know. I don't know. It all became more real when we started looking when Stella turned five and we started looking at schools and, like, where she's actually going to spend her time. Time every day. That's when a lot changed for me. So I don't know.
Sponsor Voice 1
We'll see.
Danny
I mean, if I don't move, if I don't like Nashville, it's probably because I'm gonna move out to, like, Thompson Station.
Jordan
That would be crazy.
Olivia Austin
Did you just go to, like, Leapers Fork the first time y' all came here?
Danny
Yeah, that was a little scary for me, but now I'm like. I could see it.
Olivia Austin
Really? Yeah.
Jordan
Yeah. No, she just said, like, oh, I could see us in Franklin. And the reason I made a face at the. The camera was because that's where I started this negotiation.
Landon Austin
Right.
Jordan
And she was like. She had a panic attack sitting on three acres. She was like, I'm lonely.
Olivia Austin
Yeah.
Jordan
And then we're at this, like, Airbnb that it's on three acres. And she was like, this is pretty

freaking nice out here.

The only thing that's a bummer about these, like, big plots of land is you have no neighbors. And I like neighborhoods also.

The other thing I think that will keep us here is we just visiting before we move. We went to two, like, parties, the Currents party, and then we had the Divvy party. People here are great. They're like such a welcoming community. Like, I could see us, like, the labrants are here and we don't know them, but they. When that law passed for the influencer law, everyone was like, they're moving out. And he came on and he was like, there's no way we're leaving our community.
Landon Austin
Community here. Right.
Jordan
Because, like, the people are too great.
Danny
Yeah. And I'm like, okay, the kids can't be in the content. Fine. Like, that's fine.
Landon Austin
That's not what the law says, though.
Jordan
But no, they. They amended it.
Danny
Right?
Landon Austin
Right.
Danny
What is that? They got rid of it.
Jordan
They. It was just super broad when it started. And then I'm sure that they got some pushback.
Landon Austin
Right.
Jordan
And then they made more specific amendments because the way it was written before just made no sense.
Landon Austin
Yeah.
Jordan
It was like it would have been impossible for anything to happen, anyone to post anything.
Danny
Like.
Landon Austin
Right.
Jordan
And it was very specific. Like most. I think most like, well established creators that we know because y' all have been in the space so long, they're already paying their kids. Like, they're already like, putting money aside for their kids. But the law was super specific. It had to be done through a trust. Like, it couldn't have been done through payroll. And so I. I think that they changed a lot. But it would have been a bummer to be the example that they were trying to make out of you and be like, oh. Like. Because a lot of times they'll write these laws and then they'll enforce it on someone as like an example. And then it goes through years of litigation. But if you're that example, you have to pay all this money to defend yourself. So that would have been hard.
Danny
What do you think about getting mom and dad? You think mom and dad will move to Nashville?
Landon Austin
I think if we all believe you're gonna stay. Like, I think that's the biggest hang up right now is we don't know because y' all are so quick to just change everything. So a year from now you'd be like, hey, we're going to Utah, you know, like, so you don't think that Mormon now.
Jordan
Yeah, I'm just saying, like the tradition letter all the way to lds.
Landon Austin
Honestly, a lot of creators move here and Then they move away. They go to Florida. They go somewhere else.
Jordan
Really?
Landon Austin
Yeah, I've seen that. I've seen that online. Yeah. There was someone recently who moved here from California. Now they're going to Florida. And it's like, used to. We don't know. I think once mom and dad can trust that this is where y' all want to be. Yeah, I bet they would.
Jordan
I think that there's. None of us have gone through this because we were the first to have grandkids, and obviously we didn't have kids before this. I think there's something solidifying with getting your kids in a school system that is a little bit more permanent, at least K through 6. You know, I think there's probably another fork in the road when you go into middle school, because that's like a very sensitive time. I think it's really hard to uproot your kids and high school. Like, that's just like, not what you're supposed to do. But that was the fork in the road for us was we were like, man, we're about to start this new chapter. Are we sure we want to be here in Dallas to do it?
Danny
Yeah.
Jordan
So I think we got at least six years. Unless Danny homeschools, in which case we will probably.
Danny
We could be anywhere.
Jordan
We will be the bucket list family.
Landon Austin
That's right.
Olivia Austin
Yeah.
Danny
Okay, moving on. Let's de influence Landon and Olivia. You ready?
Jordan
Yeah.
Danny
So I have some questions here that our producer wrote for us, Nate. So let's see. Can you give us. Give our audience some insight into your day to day?
Olivia Austin
Well, I always wake up earlier, before Landon really usually sleeps in.
Landon Austin
8:20 or something.
Olivia Austin
I'll get up 8:30, which have you
Landon Austin
go to bed like midnight.
Olivia Austin
Oh, he's like a night owl.
Danny
Do I go to bed at the same time?
Landon Austin
I'd say most nights.
Olivia Austin
We've recently started to. Yeah, we try to keep our phones away and like, watch a show together.
Danny
What are you watching?
Olivia Austin
What are we watching? Recently?
Landon Austin
I like documentaries.
Danny
Yeah, but so, yeah, what do you watch together? That's a good question.
Landon Austin
That's one thing we struggle. We don't have a lot of shows we like together because she likes. Oh, she likes the farmer. Once a wife wants a wife.
Danny
It's a good one.
Olivia Austin
We just started watching that.
Landon Austin
We watched that show together, and Liv likes that. And I'll watch that for her.
Olivia Austin
He doesn't love it.
Landon Austin
I don't love it.
Danny
Yeah.
Landon Austin
But one thing we genuinely both like is like competition reality shows. So, like, there's a show On Netflix called the Celebrity the Secret Millionaire. We love that. It's kind of dumb. We're not recommending it. Traders.
Olivia Austin
Okay.
Landon Austin
We love that.
Danny
Kind of like, I tried to get into Traders with Donna Kelsey.
Olivia Austin
Yeah.
Danny
People did not like her on that show.
Landon Austin
No. But that was a good season.
Danny
I tried to get into it. I really. I. I think I watched, like, the first three episodes. I couldn't get into it.
Olivia Austin
Yeah.
Danny
I need to try again. Do you watch Love Island?
Olivia Austin
I want to, but I feel like I always kind of, like, put it on and then I just kind of just. Yeah, I want to be into it. I want to be into that in the Housewives.
Danny
Secret Lives of Martin Wives. That one's so good.
Olivia Austin
Oh, yeah, I like that one. So good.
Danny
Jordan loves that show too.
Jordan
No. Have you tried?
Landon Austin
I tried. I can't. One thing we do watch is we'll watch Love is Blind, but we'll do it on hyperspeed, because 90 of that show, you can fast forward forward.
Danny
I agree. I always fast forward.
Landon Austin
Just give me to the drama. Like, I want to see the crying.
Danny
I like the reveals.
Jordan
Wait, what is hyperspeed?
Landon Austin
Like, you take your remote and you fast forward it.
Danny
Yeah.
Landon Austin
Cuz when they're talking about their family and I don't care.
Jordan
Oh, I thought it was like a feature where it cut out dead space.
Landon Austin
That's just me holding the remote. Oh, it's.
Jordan
It's. It's you. You're hyper.
Landon Austin
You don't need to meet the second uncle. Like, no one cares. So we'll watch it. We'll watch, like, the whole season in an hour. Because we'll just fast forward it.
Danny
Dolls in a podcast together.
Landon Austin
No, no. We'd listen to music in the kitchen.
Danny
What do you do together besides watch a show?
Olivia Austin
I feel like all the time.
Landon Austin
Yeah, we're together all the time because we work together a lot and then we do eat out together, get a lot of Mexican food, hang with friends and. Yeah, go on walks. Liv loves to walk.
Danny
Walking is good.
Olivia Austin
I love a good walk. He doesn't love to walk, though. Like, I love a long walk, but when we go, it's like 20 minutes, and then we'll go back home.
Landon Austin
That's a good amount.
Olivia Austin
That's a good walk.
Danny
I don't love walking. I like running. Walking is kind of hard. It's kind of boring for me.
Landon Austin
Yeah, I only run if it's from something, so I'm not.
Danny
Okay. Landon, take us back a little bit. What do you remember about growing up with me? Any funny stories?
Landon Austin
I'll be honest, I don't remember much. Like, I don't. I don't know if I was, like, traumatized, but I don't remember you as a baby. I remember because we were always four years apart, so we were never in high school together. I don't know. Like, what do you. I remember we swam in the pool in the summer on the trampoline a lot. Jump on the trampoline a lot.
Danny
With our next door neighbors.
Landon Austin
Can we talk about that? Now? Kids with the trampoline have a netting around it. We had a trampoline with no netting next to concrete, so if you fell off, you were toast. It's a miracle we didn't die.
Danny
No. It's so true. And it was like, Right. The amount of times that we. We bumped into that fence and got
Landon Austin
splinters or the concrete.
Danny
Or the concrete. And it was like high off the ground.
Jordan
This is a big thing because people like, all of the way we grew up, we had threats and danger.
Landon Austin
Yeah.
Jordan
And kids now are so soft.
Landon Austin
I know. They're too soft.
Jordan
They got nets on their trampoline now.
Danny
We have trampolines in the ground.
Olivia Austin
Oh, yeah. Those are nice.
Landon Austin
No, come on.
Danny
Like, where's, like, there's no excitement.
Landon Austin
You need that four foot fall on concrete. Yeah.
Jordan
You got to really teach it and break some bones.
Danny
So true. And diving boards, they don't really do diving boards anymore.
Olivia Austin
Oh, really?
Landon Austin
One time, I don't know if you weren't there, but me and dad were swimming and he jumped on the diving board and it snapped and fell and hit him. I remember watching it.
Olivia Austin
That's such a mark thing, such a dad thing.
Jordan
The age gap is hard because my brother and I were five years apart and I don't remember much either.
Landon Austin
Right. And we're different genders, so it's not like we, like, did the same stuff together.
Sponsor Voice 2
Yeah.
Landon Austin
I don't have a lot of memories.
Danny
Landon went to a really nice private school and I went to a public school.
Landon Austin
That's right.
Jordan
But honestly, you. You were built. You were built for public school.
Danny
I thrived.
Olivia Austin
I loved it.
Jordan
Yeah.
Landon Austin
Yeah. You were built for the streets.
Olivia Austin
I was.
Danny
Honestly, I was.
Jordan
Lena was an indoor cat.
Landon Austin
Yeah. I was an indoor cat.
Danny
I remember the first time I told him what an emo kid was like, and he was like an emu. He's like, we don't have any emu.
Landon Austin
We had to wear a uniform. So you couldn't be anything.
Danny
You couldn't even have your hair past a certain length. I'd walk into high school and there would be like blood on the ground from the fights in the morning.
Landon Austin
Yeah, we'd have a guy.
Jordan
Danny, you went to. You went to J.J. pierce in Richardson, Texas. You're fine.
Danny
I didn't say I was not fine, but they did have fights.
Jordan
You made it sound like you went to like a inner city school.
Danny
We did bust some kids in.
Olivia Austin
Okay.
Landon Austin
She went to school with Jessica Simpson.
Danny
Jessica Simpson was there way before I was there, but yes, she went to my high school.
Olivia Austin
Wow.
Danny
Kind of what we're.
Landon Austin
Did Ashley go there?
Danny
No, cuz they moved before that.
Landon Austin
Oh. So.
Danny
Yeah. Yeah. So do you remember anything else?
Jordan
What do you remember?
Landon Austin
Yeah, what do you remember? I don't.
Danny
I remember you used to like, tie lizards to ceiling fans and like, let them fly.
Landon Austin
I had to do something.
Danny
I remember you were really into fireworks.
Landon Austin
Yeah, we used to. Oh, remember that one time we went and filmed it for YouTube. We put all our fireworks in this big tub. I had like a thousand dollars worth of fireworks, My whole savings. It was like 16. We put in a tub, we lit on fire, ran away.
Danny
That was the whole YouTube video.
Landon Austin
That's probably my only memory.
Danny
But we like, in the middle of
Olivia Austin
nowhere, we just would go.
Landon Austin
The video did really well.
Danny
I remember you played World of Warcraft. You played a lot of games.
Landon Austin
I did not play World of Warcraft.
Danny
You played a lot of computer games.
Jordan
Wait, what did you play?
Sponsor Voice 2
Starcraft.
Landon Austin
Mm.
Jordan
Okay.
Danny
Sorry.
Jordan
So different.
Landon Austin
I did. I did very different.
Danny
A lot of computer games.
Landon Austin
I did that when I was a kid. Played baseball, played a lot of Legos, Loved Legos. It's very creative. Wrote a lot.
Danny
He didn't leave the house much.
Jordan
The. The. You started YouTube?
Landon Austin
I did YouTube, but again, when I started YouTube, it was not a cool. Not something the kids were aspiring to do. My first video, I did a cover of Chocolate Rain and I hid my face. And Chocolate Rain was this viral song and everyone thought I was John Mayer, so it blew up because I hid my face and like, you couldn't really see me.
Olivia Austin
How old were you?
Landon Austin
Like 17?
Jordan
Are you. You don't have to. If this is like your best kept secret. Can you tell people what you do now?
Danny
Yeah. What do you do for a living now? Actually, people want to know that. They ask all the time.
Landon Austin
No, I mean, I feel like I do a little bit of everything. I mean, we do real estate stuff. I have rentals that I manage. And then you know what?
Sponsor Voice 2
I want you to share.
Olivia Austin
He doesn't like to share this.
Jordan
I know.
Sponsor Voice 1
Okay.
Jordan
Okay. It's because you want to protect your empire. Okay, that's fine.
Landon Austin
So I do a lot of online work and so like did YouTube stuff, released music for years. A lot of my income is residual income from songs I did. Like, I have songs on playlists that still do well and so that's been good.
Jordan
And then you just launched a SaaS platform.
Landon Austin
Yeah, I do this site called Pricebell co. So a lot of what we do on Instagram is share Amazon finds. Like, I'll share gadgets I like live will share outfits and beauty stuff. And so like if you want to buy AirPods, you can put them into my site and it'll email your text you whenever it gets to a certain price, like 30 day low or the yearly low. So I'm working on that now.
Olivia Austin
That's a new thing.
Landon Austin
That's a new thing I've been working on. And then help Live. You know, she does stuff on Instagram, I help her with that and. But I mean, our days are full. We're not lacking things to do.
Jordan
You are, you're. How do you find your Amazon finds? Just trial and error.
Landon Austin
So a lot of it's just.
Jordan
You found some things that I'm like,
Landon Austin
I find good stuff.
Olivia Austin
He finds good stuff.
Jordan
Pretty good stuff.
Landon Austin
If you like Amazon finds. My Instagram's at Landon Underscore likes. I do Amazon finds and it's all gadgets. And I. People DM me every day. Oh, this is so cool. Like, you got this for my husband or I got this for me. Makes my life easier and because most
Jordan
of the influencers that do that are.
Sponsor Voice 2
Are females.
Landon Austin
Yeah.
Jordan
A lot of people like Ali and Miles, you know who's talked to you. But it's a lot of like fashion finds.
Landon Austin
Right.
Jordan
Miles finds really good stuff, but he doesn't have his own Instagram. So there's a market for males.
Landon Austin
Totally.
Sponsor Voice 2
For Amazon finds.
Olivia Austin
Yeah.
Landon Austin
Like, there's a couple of, you know, I found these LED lights that are lit by the sun, solar power, they go for your stairs or these fake landscaping bricks. Or I'll find like a phone mount for your hold your phone, like all kind of stuff and people like it. I've only had two mean messages ever.
Jordan
You know what the craziest thing is? The double standard. Like, I feel like they can order whatever they want from Amazon boxes. Come in all day. I order one thing and Danny's like, oh, you're always ordering things from Amazon.
Olivia Austin
He orders expensive things.
Danny
So do you.
Landon Austin
These are good things. I found this tv actually. No, you know Even better. I found these solar powered rock speakers that sit out in your yard. They sound amazing. You can daisy chain them. Bluetooth speakers, whatever. Daisy chain mean, like they connect. So you can connect 20 of them.
Danny
Okay.
Landon Austin
And so half my job between her clothing finds, beauty finds and my gadgets is just cutting up cardboard. Like that is half my day cutting up cardboard.
Danny
Yeah, it's true.
Landon Austin
You want to know what I'm doing? Probably cutting cardboard and we recycle it because our bins won't fit at all. It's great.
Olivia Austin
Put it all in the car and then go recycle together.
Landon Austin
That's something we do together every Saturday.
Olivia Austin
That's one thing we do together. A lot of recycling and protest.
Sponsor Voice 2
The data center.
Danny
No, what really gets me, what really gets me about Jordan's Amazon orders. This is probably the, the most annoying order he has is he buys his razors off of Amazon and it's a really nice, like Gillette razor. And then it comes with like 10 replacement heads. And he always buys the same thing. So I'm like, why are you buying the razor? You just have to buy the replacement heads.
Landon Austin
Yeah.
Danny
So he just ends up with 100 razors. You know when it's like, that's why you bought that kit.
Jordan
This is genuinely a twice a year purchase.
Danny
No, it's not.
Jordan
I mean, I, I can. Ten razor blades will last me eight months. So it's. This is what I'm saying. This is crazy when it comes to
Landon Austin
the things we buy. Their memories, like an elephant. They don't.
Jordan
Crazy.
Olivia Austin
He can't find something, he'll buy it again. And I'm like, it. Why? Just fine.
Landon Austin
Can I tell you why?
Olivia Austin
Find it in the house.
Landon Austin
My time is better spent just doing a one hour delivery than spending two hours looking for something.
Jordan
Exactly.
Danny
I get that. I get that. That must be a female thing though, because like when I'm about to buy like a new shirt or a new sweater, my mom will be like, but you lost that North Face that I got you in sixth grade. No, it is like you can't. No, like 20 years ago. And she's like, you can't buy another jacket because remember, you lost that North Face. No, honestly, it wasn't even. I didn't even lose it.
Olivia Austin
It's.
Danny
Pilar stole it from us.
Landon Austin
Have you talked about that?
Danny
No.
Landon Austin
We had a lot of very, I would say sweet, but they weren't sweet. People who lived with us, who my mom would meet on the streets and they would live with us and babysit us in an Exchange. We'd give them free housing.
Sponsor Voice 1
They were our nannies. They were living nannies.
Danny
But my mom. There was not, like, a good system to finding these.
Landon Austin
This is what I remember about our childhood. Now it's coming back to me.
Danny
They've robbed us all.
Landon Austin
Robbed us. All of them.
Danny
And we always got blamed for losing our stuff.
Landon Austin
No, it was them. Stole all my Pokemon cards in my Walkman and then moved back to Peru.
Danny
No.
Landon Austin
Took them. I quit. I lost the. I lost all interest in Pokemon.
Danny
But did I tell you remember my friend. My twin friends, Haley and Jennifer?
Sponsor Voice 1
Yeah.
Danny
So I was having a sleepover one time, and we were all sleeping in the movie room or the playroom.
Olivia Austin
Back.
Danny
Back in the back of the house. And I walked in to go get something, and I found her going through my friend's wallet. Stealing.
Landon Austin
I believe it.
Danny
And I literally found her. And I acted like I didn't see her and never told anybody.
Landon Austin
Keep the peace. I get it.
Danny
I was just like, she lives with us. Like, what am I gonna do? Like, I don't.
Landon Austin
She can keep the 20 bucks.
Olivia Austin
Yeah.
Danny
No, it was awful. And then one time, I think she knew that I was kind of onto her, so. And I think, like, because dad started leaving cash around, and he would, like, draw a smiley face or write his name on it or write his name on it or sign it or something, and then the cash would go missing. And so then whenever we would ask her, like, hey, did you steal it? She'd be like, no. And she'd pull out the money, and it would have my dad's signature on it. So obviously she did. Anyways. She kind of. She knew that we were kind of onto her. And one day, next to my bed, all the things that I had lost showed up again. It was like my Game Boy. I had, like, a little CD player. This is, you know, back in the 90s, all the things that they. She put him back.
Jordan
But I'm gonna. I'm gonna be honest. Just being a part of Yalls family, for some reason, I feel like this is really good for y'.
Landon Austin
All. Yeah.
Jordan
Because where you guys, like, really come together is when there's a problem to solve. And I could see y' all at the dinner table being like, okay, listen, I'm gonna write my name. Danny, you plan it here. And then when you finally catch them,
Landon Austin
you're like, so they all robbed us. We probably had 10 different ones. You think growing up, maybe 15. It was a bunch.
Danny
Yeah.
Landon Austin
There was only one that I believe never robbed us. And there was Only one that I feel like liked me more.
Danny
Pati.
Landon Austin
Pati. So to this day, Poti, I don't know if you're out there. I still think of you.
Danny
Oh, they all loved me. Like, they were.
Landon Austin
They were obsessed with Danny. But Pati, she was mine.
Danny
It's because she gave you back scratches, which now is kind of weird now
Landon Austin
that we think she would jump with me on the trampoline on her shoulders next to the concrete. And it was awesome. Like, at least if I go down, she's going down with me. Like, she was awesome.
Danny
My favorite was Muddy Luna. You remember her?
Landon Austin
She robbed me.
Danny
No, she probably did, but also she got robbed. Her boyfriend came and literally took her from our house and took her to California. Like, she just left one day.
Jordan
That's traumatic.
Danny
No, I know.
Olivia Austin
I was five.
Danny
I was like, it was traumatic. She was my favorite.
Landon Austin
Yeah.
Olivia Austin
Yeah.
Danny
We had a lot of live in nannies that were illegal.

Danny
Who in the family would last the longest on a reality TV show? Liv, you answer.
Olivia Austin
You. Yeah.
Danny
Really?
Landon Austin
Yeah.

Olivia Austin
Or tornado. You and Tornado.
Jordan
Who between tornado and Danny would last longer?
Olivia Austin
Danny.
Jordan
Yeah.

I think.
Olivia Austin
Why? I. I feel like you have, like, a lot of grit and you would just keep on, like. Yeah. I don't know. I feel like you would just roll with whatever's going on, but they both, like, you would thrive.
Landon Austin
I was gonna say tornadoes got some of that too, though.
Jordan
I know it'd be. It's a thin margin of who would last longer.
Landon Austin
It depends if there's a cash prize. Tornado 100.
Jordan
She'll step on Danny's neck.
Landon Austin
It's like $1,000 cash prize. I'm not leaving.
Olivia Austin
No.
Danny
I don't know. That would get me going to the.
Landon Austin
I don't know.
Jordan
True.
Danny
Okay. Which family member would survive the longest? Longest lost in the. Okay, who would survive the longest in the wilderness?
Landon Austin
Tornado.
Olivia Austin
Not Landon.
Landon Austin
Not me.
Olivia Austin
That's for sure.
Jordan
Mark.
Landon Austin
He would last longest because he wouldn't be able to get out.
Jordan
Yeah, he'd be stuck.
Danny
Yeah, I agree with tornado.
Landon Austin
Probably tornado, though.
Olivia Austin
Yeah.
Landon Austin
So when I was a kid, anytime I got in trouble, we used to watch a lot of Mari where it's like, you're the dad, you're not the. And one of the episodes was for troubled teens. And so they would either send them to boot camp or wilderness camp, and she'd Always be like, anytime I got in trouble, she's like, you're going to wilderness camp. And I'd be like, no, there's no amenities there.
Jordan
I can't do it.
Olivia Austin
It's so true.
Danny
I remember this. She's still. Do you know that she brought that up yesterday?
Landon Austin
I believe it.
Danny
With my kids.
Jordan
She was like, car on the way here.
Danny
No, in the car on the way here. It's like, she still uses wilderness camp, like, as. And it's so funny because I actually voluntarily went to wilderness camp. Like, I went and camped. Yeah. I went and backpacked in Colorado for a week with nothing.
Olivia Austin
Oh, my gosh.
Danny
I was like, with who?
Olivia Austin
Like, with.

It was with young life.

We cooked all of our own meals, carried everything, backpack with, like, you literally live with what's on your back for, like, seven days. Sleep with. Sleep under a tent with.

Are there any Austin family rules that are. That seem crazy to outsiders?

We don't really have any rules.

Yeah, we didn't have a lot of rules.

We didn't have, you know, we weren't bad kids. Except you were an outlaw. You had an MIP minor in possession.

I was 17 one time.
Landon Austin
But, yeah, we didn't have a lot of crazy rules I think we had to do. I mean, I. Not you. I had to do a lot more yard work than my friends.
Olivia Austin
Really?
Landon Austin
Yeah.
Olivia Austin
Like, Andy, because you went to, like,
Danny
a really nice private school.
Landon Austin

I leave the group chat.

You're in the right place. I love Theo Von. Oh, yeah, I would love to meet Theo Von.
Landon Austin
I know I'm not allowed to tell you this because I've told you the story a million times, but I went to a Vandy game and he was on the sidelines and he took your
Danny
phone and took a picture for you.
Landon Austin
I brought. This is so cool. I think this is the coolest thing. I've told her story a million times because I know she loves Theo. So I had my phone out, me and my buddies, and he knew we wanted a picture, so he grabbed my phone and said, hey, let's get a picture.
Danny
Like he offered because he just knows that you're struggling with like, when to ask.
Landon Austin
And we weren't being weird. We were just standing. I just had it out. I looked over at him, he just grabbed it.
Danny
Oh, I love that.

Landon Austin
We'll always have that on each other.
Danny
Yeah, we did. On purpose.
Olivia Austin
Yeah.
Danny
Okay, let's see a couple more questions. Do you have any really hot takes at the moment?
Landon Austin
We were just talking about this. Okay, this is a dumb one, but it's something Liv and I feel very passionately about. We both love watermelon. It's been like her craving since she got pregnant. But the baby watermelons are 10 times better than the big one ones.
Olivia Austin
Really?
Landon Austin
The flavors compacted. We've eaten a Lot of watermelons these past nine years.
Olivia Austin
So much watermelon.
Landon Austin
I'm telling you. Go baby.
Danny
Well, that's good to know. They're easier to carry and cut.
Landon Austin
Yes.
Olivia Austin
Yeah, so much easier. I don't think it's worth everything. I just get them from Target. I like to do a Target pickup, like five mini watermelons and go pick them up.
Danny
That's so good to know.
Olivia Austin
Okay. They're so much better than eat a
Danny
lot of watermelon in our house.
Olivia Austin
Yeah, and there's no seeds in them either.
Danny
Do you know how many eggs we eat a day? You want to guess?
Jordan
Oh my gosh.
Landon Austin
No. I mean probably a lot, cuz I eat a lot.
Danny
But how many eggs price?
Jordan
Probably 10 to 12 a day.
Landon Austin
You have like an egg subscription or something?
Danny
A cart in a day? No, we just have to go to the store multiple times. That's why I want to get chickens. But you know, in Brentwood you can't.
Landon Austin
Can't have chickens.
Olivia Austin
Oh, you can't really?
Landon Austin
No. You're in the city.
Danny
Yeah. Such a bummer. That's why we have to go to Franklin.
Jordan
But like, who's. Who's enforcing that?
Landon Austin
I don't know. I saw a chicken walking down my street.
Danny
You know, one of the biggest reasons is, is because of the animals it could attract like coyotes, probably the data
Landon Austin
centers and hurt their hearing.
Olivia Austin
Good point.
Danny
Okay, let's see.
Sponsor Voice 1
What's something you're terrible at but still

Danny
Okay, speaking of singing, can you tell us about the SUNO thing? Because that Puerto Rico song, I couldn't believe that that was a Suno song.
Landon Austin
You know what SUNO is, right?
Danny
It's like the AI song.
Sponsor Voice 1
Songwriting.
Landon Austin
Yeah, it writes, it produces, it does everything.

Danny
Travel.
Landon Austin
He just made a song about it and the song popped off, but soon is surreal. I mean like I made like a worship group on Spotify. It's called Worship United. Just Suno songs. I wrote the words and Then it produced it. Unreal how good it sounded.
Jordan
So. So most musicians in the future are just going to be kind of performers. Like, they're just going to be like, I don't know.
Sponsor Voice 2
Brands.
Danny
I don't know, but I see a lot of people, like, signing all these, like, petitions and getting upset about AI when it comes to acting and singing. And they're, like, really upset about it because it's like Hollywood is going to be taken over by AI but then I'm like, okay, well, if it's not going to be used in that industry, it shouldn't be used in any industry.
Landon Austin
But it should be used in that industry because then a guy like you or me could just, like, come up with a movie idea and then produce it.
Danny
No, I agree that it should be, but it's gonna.
Olivia Austin
What?
Landon Austin
My point is he's got some creative ideas.
Jordan
I got something to say.
Danny
I agree with you. It should be used everywhere. But what annoys me is it's like now it's like only the actors are getting, like, it, like moving the needle with, like, not being able to.
Jordan
I'm sick of this.
Landon Austin
They have a union and all these
Jordan
creatives being elitists and acting like they're able to gatekeep my voice from music. Yeah, I'm gonna flip the argument.
Landon Austin

You know, I want to be a
