A
The following podcast is a Dear Media Production. What's up, guys? Welcome back to Sunday Sports Club Podcast, a podcast all about sports told by a woman. And that woman is me. I'm Alison Cooch, your host, and today we are joined by Tiana Robillard. Is that how you say last name?
- [00:18]
B
Robillard? Yeah.
- [00:19]
A
Wow. I just wouldn't have known. Do you know how to say my last name, Cooch? Full last name.
- [00:24]
B
No, I don't even know if I know it.
- [00:27]
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so today we're Coocharzik.
- [00:32]
B
Coocharz.
- [00:33]
A
Did not know that, Cooch.
- [00:34]
B
Isaac.
- [00:39]
A
Today me and Tiana are actually in New York City for a Thursday night football game. And in the audience we have Isaac and Adrian. So if you hear. Yeah. If you guys hear them in the background, just ignore them because we are. So today Tiana is actually going to be dropping all of the hottest tea. Ok. No, but I do, I do have some questions just because I feel like the past year of your life has been insane.
- [01:06]
B
Yeah.
- [01:07]
A
Do you kind of feel like you have whiplash or like, do you think that you really haven't slowed down to, like, realize your life has changed?
- [01:15]
B
Yeah, like 100%. And some would say I'm not. Well, I'm happy. I'm really happy. But I'm dealing with a lot of repercussions or what.
- [01:31]
A
What were your actions?
- [01:32]
B
I'm dealing with a lot of, like, mental stuff.
- [01:34]
A
Okay.
- [01:34]
B
Because I. You're right, I haven't slowed down. Like, it's been like, go, go, go.
- [01:38]
A
Yeah, it's been go, go, go. I feel like your life looked drastically different a year ago, two years ago. So now you, like, technically live in Austin, Texas, but you don't actually live there because when was the last time you stayed in your Austin, Texas apartment for longer than five days?
- [01:59]
B
Ooh, months ago. Months ago. How about. I don't know if I've ever. Wow. I don't know if I've ever actually. I know. I think I've spent a total of like, maybe like not even a month, like, not consecutively, but I don't even know if I've like, been there more than a month ever.
- [02:17]
A
Do you think that it's like you coping with, like, big life changes and you're like, oh, just go, go, go. Or do you think you're just trying to, like, make the most of, like, the opportunities you're given or both?
- [02:25]
B
I feel. Good question. I feel like, I feel like, well, I, I was ready to pick up everything and, like, Move and be on my own in Austin. And then the week I toured it, it was like the company knew I was moving in. Like, it was like a planned set thing, so I couldn't like back out. But I met or I like, started. I got a boyfriend like a week before I signed the lease. So I was like, okay, and you.
- [02:51]
A
Live in a different state.
- [02:52]
B
I was like, I guess we're doing Disney. So I was like, I need the time anyway to really just be on my own. I was like, I can slowly move into like, this if it works and like, whatever. And that was not the case. I just happened to just go and be there all the time in Nashville and the most never home. That alongside, like traveling for work. You get it. It's like I. I'm just always gone. I have a cat who I don't. My. My mom has it. Oh.
- [03:21]
A
I was like, I know. A cat at your apartment. So concerned for a second. Okay, so then I want to take you all. I want to take you back a few years because the first time I ever came across like you was a video of you and you were living in Arizona. So you started TikTok in year what, like 2020. Ish. 2021.
- [03:43]
B
2020. I was like, posting for fun, like when the app came out, but never like, consecutively. And then I had my first like, Viral Post Probably 2022 when I was living in Arizona.
- [03:57]
A
So you. I feel like a lot of people attach you to like, your ex and like, your relationship. I feel like he gets enough screen time, so I'm not. We're not even gonna mention it. But does it ever frustrate you that like, people attach you to, like, what you were or like your past and it's like your comeback story? Or do you think that it is your comeback story, like, emerging from like a toxic relationship?
- [04:21]
B
I always felt like this was gonna be what I was gonna do. Like, I always was a creative. I always was wanting to create. I was always editing videos. I was always like, wanting to do like the YouTube train. You know what I mean?
- [04:31]
A
Yeah.
- [04:32]
B
So when things started happening the way they did, it was nice. Cuz, like, I wanted that I was ready for it. But it was like, it sucks that it is attached to someone because I think. I think we all know, like, relationship stuff does really well.
- [04:52]
A
Specifically, literally me attaching my personality to my husband.
- [04:57]
B
Specifically sports world too. So it was. It was a nice. Like, I always give credit to the audience. I feel like my audience was built really fast because, yeah, of the NFL community. But to put credit on, like, someone that really, like, didn't have any, like, work to do with it, I guess, on my creative end, yeah, it kind of does suck. But I did. I can't, like, I did come up, like, with, like. We came up as, like, kind of like, a duo, so it was. I don't even know if I'm answering this question. It was just. It is frustrating, I guess, now, because people do attach that, even though, you know, I've done a lot of work to get where I'm at, and I feel like.
- [05:42]
A
Right.
- [05:43]
B
I feel like my story resonates with a lot of people. So on the front of, like, being, like, in relationship issues and being, like a. Almost like a. A person to. To watch, to show how to, like, get out of that, I guess it's cool. But I'm not mad at the comeback story. I'm not mad at that being, like, the story. I'm just. I don't, like. I don't like the comments that are like, oh, she's here. This. It's like, no, dude, I. In fact, I think I was gonna make it regardless. Okay.
- [06:12]
A
I feel like if I'm given a basket of lemons for free and I make lemonade, like, I shouldn't go back to the person who gave me lemons for free and give them, like, a cut.
- [06:21]
B
Right?
- [06:21]
A
Like, I made the most of, like, what I had at the time. So, like, even when it was, like.
- [06:27]
B
My life, like, I was, like, I would have been.
- [06:29]
A
It was as much of your life as it was his.
- [06:31]
B
Totally.
- [06:32]
A
That's where I get frustrated with people, because I'm like, yes, like, I did make a name off of my husband's career, but, like, that was also me putting in hard work. That was, like, me doing the work outside of that.
- [06:44]
B
And people wouldn't stay if they didn't resonate with you as, like, yourself. So it's. It's, like, nice to give credit where credit's due. Like, the audience was a nice place to, like, start. But people stayed for you. People. I feel like people stayed for. For me.
- [06:59]
A
Yeah. And so people are staying for you, and they're like, oh, this girl doesn't even live in Austin. What's going on?
- [07:03]
B
Right? They're like, where are you? Where is she? What's going on?
- [07:06]
A
No, but I feel like a lot of people resonated with, like, you breaking off an engagement, you leaving a relationship, dude.
- [07:14]
B
And a relationship where, like, you feel like, I got a lot of messages. Like, girl, we all know, like, these men do this. Why. Why wouldn't you just stay for, like, the. Whatever, dude. I'm in this for love. I feel like we're all here for love. We're all upon this earth for love.
- [07:31]
A
Right.
- [07:32]
B
Like, I was not to stay in something that didn't serve me. Like, I would drop it like a. I'll drop anything at the drop of a hat.
- [07:41]
A
Which is even crazier that people would say that, because I feel like so many comments are like, oh, she's in it for the wrong reason. She's with it. She's with him for the money. And then when he cheats on you, you're like, peace out. And they're like, why didn't you stay?
- [07:54]
B
Literally.
- [07:55]
A
That's exactly. Maybe because I want my husband to, like, enjoy me. Yeah.
- [07:58]
B
I want to, like, have, like, a nice, like, long partnership.
- [08:01]
A
You know, maybe I don't want to be questioning if someone's in my bed, but.
- [08:04]
B
Yeah. Right. Which they were. So.
- [08:08]
A
So that's mic drop. That's great. But I feel like another thing that people love about you is that you're so open and vulnerable. And with social media, some people, like, put up a front or, like, they have one personality online, and then you meet them in person. Whereas in you, I feel like you're the same person online than you are as in person. And is there anything that when it comes to social media, you're like, I don't want to share that. Or have you realized, like, oh, I feel like I've crossed a line in the past and, like, in the future, I don't want to cross that line?
- [08:41]
B
Oh, that's a good question.
- [08:43]
A
You're just coming out here.
- [08:48]
B
Yeah, there is a. There is a for sure line. I feel like.
- [08:59]
A
I see the wheels, dude.
- [09:01]
B
There's a lot that I don't not share. Like, I, I. If I feel it, I'm sharing it. If it's happening in my life, I don't care to share it. I think, I think, like, not that I, like, want to get into this right now, but I think, like, oh, God. I just. It's, like, tough when. When things get, like, misconstrued or the full story's not out, people, like, form opinions and it's tough. It's like, social media has been really tough for me this last year because I feel like we've lost our, like, ability to have opinions on things just as creators, whether it's art, whether it's anything, like a.
- [09:45]
A
An opinion that people, like, wouldn't like it. You have to take One side, it's.
- [09:50]
B
Yeah. And you can be directly down the middle of things and, like, you just. You can't. There's like, you can't have your own opinions anymore and you can't share them. I feel like sometimes. And so I found myself this year, this is my second year in this space, and I found myself feeling really different about this industry, in this career this year. And I feel really like, I don't know, quiet. I feel like I can't have hot takes. I feel like I can't.
- [10:20]
A
I think the hot. I feel the hot takes are a little bit more like. You see, like, the repercussions, but it's not even repercussions because, like, what is it?
- [10:29]
B
Like the bean soup thing? What is that?
- [10:31]
A
I'm sorry, what?
- [10:33]
B
It's like someone posted about. It's like the bean soup theory or whatever. It's like someone posted about bean soup and then people are in the comments like, okay, well, I don't like beans.
- [10:39]
A
Yeah. It's just not the what about me ism.
- [10:42]
B
Yes.
- [10:43]
A
And so I feel like that is a huge struggle that I even see and something I resonate with when you say that. Because you can't please everybody. Yeah. So, like, when you want to post a video about, like, something light hearted, even that can be taken. Like, I just posted about surprising Isaac with, like, a cabinet. And people like, this is so out of touch. Like, do you know, like, that's such an expensive thing? And I'm like, holy. Yes. Like, wholeheartedly. I agree. Also, five years ago, I was still posting on this app, like, getting from ikea. Like, still get from ikea. Love ikea. Is it cheaper? Yes. But I feel like that kind of takes. It's just like, it's not fun when every single thing is nitpicked.
- [11:26]
B
Yep.
- [11:26]
A
And I'm like, Jesus Christ. Are comedians okay? Because are they able to even, like, make a joke?
- [11:32]
B
The. Yeah, no, exactly.
- [11:34]
A
And so I can. I can only imagine, like, when you're going through, like, huge life transformations as you are, it might be like, holy shit, can I say anything right? Or, like, can I just make a joke?
- [11:45]
B
And. And like, even putting, like, this, you know, new relationship online, sometimes it's hard because I'm so triggered by the. It's happening again. Or, like, one little moment of, like, real fucking life.
- [11:59]
A
Adrian.
- [11:59]
B
If Adrian. If me and Adrian are in one real life situation and we're just freaking t. We're traveling all the time, and it's like, one little moment. It's like, oh, look at the way. Look at him. Look at his eyes. It's happening again. I'm like, that's actually triggering. Hey, so that's actually really triggering.
- [12:15]
A
Does it actually contribute to you feeling, like, maybe a sense of insecurity?
- [12:19]
B
Well, yeah, and it's tough because Adrian has been.
- [12:22]
A
Can we just call him Adrian? Adrian.
- [12:24]
B
Adrian's been in, like, on. In this life or whatever in this industry for a lot longer than I have.
- [12:30]
A
Yeah.
- [12:30]
B
And so he's really good at, like, he's really good at comments overall. Like, good comments are. Need to stay neutral, and bad comments need to stay neutral. Where I'm like, I see a good comment, like, oh, my gosh. Like, I believe it. I'm like, yes. Like, they like me today. Or, like, if I. And the same energy I have towards good comments, I do have towards bad. So it really. I'm like, really? You fluctuate a lot center. And I do fluctuate a lot with. With the hate and the love. And I feel like you're really good at. No, you're like, you come across very good at. At it, but also you. You.
- [13:08]
A
I come across that way for sure. For sure. I come across that way for sure.
- [13:13]
B
And you.
- [13:13]
A
You.
- [13:13]
B
I feel like you handle it really well.
- [13:15]
A
No, whereas, like, I'm trying to work.
- [13:17]
B
On being more polarizing. I feel like being more polarizing is like, oh, does it. If you're a friend, all your friend to none. Like. And I do. I do try to keep my. My platform really positive, and I feel like. I feel like I want to turn over a new leaf and, like, kind.
- [13:30]
A
Of be really negative and.
- [13:32]
B
Be really negative. No. And, like. And just show more of, like, who I am. Because I'm just trying to, like, please everyone right now, in a sense, like, I am being me and I'm being authentic, for sure. You can tell. But it's like, there's a lot I don't share because I'm so freaking scared of it right now.
- [13:49]
A
I think that's what I've realized is that initially on social media, I would be like, I don't give a. Yeah.
- [13:56]
B
That'S how I was initially.
- [13:58]
A
And then you start to peel that back, and so please everybody.
- [14:03]
B
Yeah, you grow. You get so many new eyes, you get so many new opinions. People making videos, people making this, that. And it's like, it's.
- [14:13]
A
It scarred me, which is weird, because this is something I even, like, struggle with my personal life. I struggle with friendships. And, like, why do I care about having, like, 10 friends rather than having like, three friends who I'm super close with and that I can be my total self around and, like, say anything I want and never think, wait, should I have said that? Yeah. So I feel like social media is the same way as, like, I think I'm like, that's like, confidence.
- [14:37]
B
Yeah, I. I went through a spur. I think I lost, like, Dude, I lost, like, a lot of followers in the span of a week.
- [14:44]
A
You're gonna say, like, I lost, like, a lot of weight.
- [14:47]
B
Hey, that too.
- [14:48]
A
But healthy relationship.
- [14:50]
B
Yeah, but I. And scared me a lot. But then it was like, if people misunderstand me or. Or read me however they want and they. They don't feel like they know me, then they can buzz off. Hey, then they can get gone. And it was like, it was kind of liberating.
- [15:09]
A
Buzz off.
- [15:10]
B
They can buzz the hell off. And it was liberating because it was like, okay, the ones that understand me and want to understand me are gonna stay.
- [15:17]
A
Yes.
- [15:18]
B
I'm getting. I'm getting used to. It's tough, dude. People want to do this. And it's. It is not.
- [15:24]
A
Oh, my God.
- [15:25]
B
For the week.
- [15:26]
A
My thing is that I think a lot. I think a lot of people don't even see that. Like, I struggle with comments more than people realize to, like, where I'm, like, having a shitty evening and I look at my daughter and I'm like, this is so stupid. Like, my 2 year old is here doing the cutest thing ever. Yeah. I've ever seen, ever. And I'm like, why the am I worried about Joe Schmo in Idaho?
- [15:50]
B
Yep. It's not for, hey, I get excited.
- [15:53]
A
Hey, yo, Joe. You.
- [15:55]
B
You, Joe?
- [15:56]
A
No, but I feel like a lot of people might resonate with that. Not through social media necessarily, but like, even, like, friendships, personal relationships, and just.
- [16:06]
B
Like, keep your circle small.
- [16:07]
A
Like, why are you afraid to be your full self when you're like, I don't want to be liked for being somebody I'm actually not? Yeah, well, we'll figure that out. Clearly, we're going through something.
- [16:18]
B
Yeah, we're going through. We got some stuff to talk about.
- [16:20]
A
I know Isaac and Adri in our back. They're like, these girls need therapy.
- [16:25]
B
Just staring at us like we're crazy.
- [16:27]
A
They're not wrong. As a new mom, I feel like there is so much noise in the space of diapers, wipes, skin care. And as a new mom, you just want to do what you think is best and what's best for your baby. And early on, I discovered coterie diapers and I instantly fell in love with them. I've been using Coterie diapers and wipes ever since my daughter was a newborn and I've loved them so much. I mean, she's still in them from newborn size to size 6 diapers. They have been there along the way. And I think we all know that baby skin is very delicate. They have their microbiome, their skin barrier. It's all still developing. And I'm a big believer that a long, complicated routine can potentially cause more unbalance. So Coterie developed a minimalist routine with a gentle less is more philosophy in mind. And you guys, I have fallen in love with all of these products. Like I use these products religiously daily, morning, night, after bath time. So I'm really excited to talk about them today. So the first in their skincare line is their first wash. So it's a tear free hair and body wash that leaves everything very silky. They have their soft cream which lightly but so effectively it moisturizes both the face and body. And when I say this is a light moisturizer, I mean it is a light moisturizer. It doesn't feel clunky. It's very easy to like rub into the skin. And I love using it every single day after bath time. And then also they have their bun balm. So it is this gorgeous occlusive balm that I love not only for diaper changes but also for dry patches all over. I actually talked about this a few episodes ago, but I used this on my daughter underneath her nose when she had like a snuffly nose and the dry patch went away instantly overnight. And I just love the skincare line just as much as I love their diapers and wipes. And I love that these take out a lot of that guesswork by being hypoallergenic, dermatologist tested, made without fragrance or parabens, cruelty free, vegan, microbiome friendly and pH balanced. So if you guys are interested in checking it out, head to coterie.com and use code SUNDAY20 at checkout for 20 off your first order@coterie.com it is no secret that I have been on my health and wellness journey ever since being postpartum. I've truly fallen back in love with working out again. And just like the overall like gentle shift, I've changed in my life and I want to take a second to talk about Peloton because Peloton is shaping the future of fitness with the brand new Peloton cross training tread powered by Peloton iq. It is Peloton's most elevated equipment with real time guidance and endless ways to move alone or with your favorite instructors. It's cross training imagined with features designed to make your workout more personal.

The new movement tracking camera allows Peloton IQ to count your reps and correct your form in real time, so it's taking the guesswork out of your workout so that you can train safer, lift smarter and make every rep count. I love how personalized this is. They provide personalized plans and recommendations and if you're anything like me, you don't like the same workout every single day. And that's why I love Peloton iq. So if you guys are interested in checking it out, let yourself run, lift, sculpt, push and go explore the new Peloton cross training tread@1peloton.com that's o n e p e l o t o n.com 1peloton.com you guys fall is here and every October my pets get just as excited as the rest of the family because you know, they are a part of the family. Which means I need costumes that actually fit them, toys that last, and treats that they love. And Chewy always comes through with fast delivery, great deals and everything all in one place. That's why they're my go to for making Halloween special for my pets. You guys, I love Chewy so much. Again, they have everything all in the same place. Food, treats, toys, even supplies for horses, farm animals, birds, fish, reptiles, other small pets. Chewy has it all and it shows up to my door. And one day or two, Chewy makes pet health simple. I can refill prescriptions, grab flea meds, even get advice. And now they're expanding in person vet clinics too. It feels like a whole support system for my pets. My favorite thing about Chewy is that you can have their food on subscription. Early in the postpartum days I remember, oh, we ran out of dog food and my husband was running to a store a little too late at night. So with Chewy food subscription they take out all of the guesswork of oh, when am I able to run out to grab their food? My pets thank it and I think it too. We love Chewy in this household. And again, Chewy is my go to for costumes because I have the two larger dogs, golden retrievers, and finding something that actually is big enough and still comfortable is nearly Impossible when it comes to finding something in person. This Halloween, make your pets be part of the celebration. You can shop costumes, toys, and treats with CHEWY. Go to chewpanions.chewy.com Allison Cooch to get $20 off your first order.

Do you think you had a group of people in your life that may have doubted you, like, leaving the relationship and, like, oh, what she going to do?
- [22:16]
B
Like, wait. Yeah, wait, elaborate on that one. Like, a group of people, like, like, on social media.
- [22:23]
A
Like, on social media or in your personal life, like, what did you get?
- [22:25]
B
Like, after the. Yes.
- [22:27]
A
Like, oh, is she just gonna move home and just, like, go back to her, like, life?
- [22:31]
B
Yes, that did. Yeah.
- [22:32]
A
Does it surprise you how far you've came and, like, what you've made of, like, people. People flocked you because they were genuinely curious in a really shitty situation?
- [22:44]
B
No. I was terrified at first. I was. I didn't have. I mean, he took the car. You know, he took. I had my old beater still, thank God. And then I didn't have. I live with somebody. So it was like. It was. I. I was terrified at first because I was like, where am I gonna go? What am I gonna do? Went back to what I knew I was comfortable with and got my bearings and then realized, like. I think it was just. I think in those moments, people thought I was, like, just gonna stay in something that was not. And I didn't care how scared I was. I didn't care where I was gonna go. I didn't care what I was gonna do. I was like, all I know is that this isn't right for me. So I packed up my shit and drove to the most comfortable spot in the moment, and that was home, My friend's farm, for a few days. And then.
- [23:40]
A
And then you're like, I need to go and touch the grass.
- [23:44]
B
I need to go wash some horses. And then I. And I think that was, like, I just needed, like, to not be scared of where I was gonna go or what I was gonna do and just do it. Mm. I think a lot of people stay in situations because they're so scared of. Not the unknown, but you have to just what it's worth staying in something that doesn't serve you and that's not meant for you.
- [24:05]
A
So this is totally, like, what about me Ism. But I'm gonna take you back to My first failed relationship back when I was 16, and I thought that, like, my two year boyfriend breaking up with me was the end of the world.
- [24:19]
B
Yeah.
- [24:19]
A
And now looking back, I'm like, you know, literally, like, I didn't want to, like, be around. Yeah. And it was like, I just can't imagine my life now. I never thought it was gonna be so good. And it's crazy because I think in sometimes toxic situations, you're so clouded. You are with like, you had an idea of what your life was gonna look like, and all of a sudden it's not that way. And it's easy to be like, oh, I'm. Well, I'm comfortable. Like, we'll, we'll work through it. Yeah, but you're like the now.
- [24:53]
B
Yeah, especially. Yeah. I think a lot, I think there was a lot of signs leading up and I stayed because of like, the dogs for a while and I was comfortable, you know, there was signs.
- [25:06]
A
Okay, wait, I'm not laughing because I love my dogs. For sure.
- [25:09]
B
Those are my babies.
- [25:12]
A
Did you ever think about just taking them?
- [25:14]
B
Yeah, dude. Adrian played a show eight minutes away from the house in Kentucky like a couple weeks ago, and I was like, if you don't mind just going and like, getting the dogs, like, the house is like eight minutes away. Am I being insane right now? I'm like, could you just, like, go sneak and like, get the dogs?
- [25:30]
A
Asking Adrian to do that. Adrian's like, I'm not doing that. But, like, same for the dogs. Is like, kind of real of you.
- [25:37]
B
Like, I, I not. I mean, I don't want any of this. Oh, I did get misconstrued. Like, there were like, everyone thought it just, it did come out of the blue, but I, my instincts were telling me it when I was in Paris. And I think people, people know that, but I, I, it's hard to leave something that you are so connected to and that you, you're right. Have a vision for. And you're like, this is what I think it's my life supposed to be. And then when it gets flipped upside down, you feel like, what am I supposed to do now?
- [26:05]
A
It also probably feels like the world is ending if.
- [26:08]
B
Yeah, yeah, the world is. You, like, knew it. And as you ex. I thought I was planning a wedding. Like, I'm like, what is going on? Like, okay, so we're not having kids in the next.
- [26:20]
A
All of a sudden you're on having like, you're on the farm stalls, literally. Did you have a Miley Cyrus moment where you're like, this is like low key therapeutic or you just like, actually just like going through.
- [26:30]
B
When I. When I was on the farm, I had. I didn't post for a week and I had like. I think my manager came to me with like a. A song promo, which I've only ever done two of them, but a song promo is pretty much on tick tock. Like, artists will like. Or like, labels will pay a creator to post to the song.
- [26:49]
A
And.
- [26:50]
B
And my first post back was me and the Red Boots. I don't know if you remember. It was me.
- [26:54]
A
And I. I vividly remember.
- [26:57]
B
I think it was the caption on. It was. Took the week to remember who the I was. And it was to a song problem. But the lyrics. I wasn't gonna do it, but it was my first. I was like, I've gotta post anyways. This is a nice song to come back to. The lyrics were perfect. And I was like, and I get it and I'll. And I can get some. Some money out of it, period.
- [27:15]
A
Period. You're like, this girl has her own bills to pay now watch me. Yeah.
- [27:20]
B
And it was me, like, on the farm.
- [27:21]
A
You're like, who's better to exploit me other than myself, right? Like, I love that. Yeah. Bread. Thank you. Oh, my gosh. No, it is crazy, like, thinking, was that only a year ago, dude?
- [27:35]
B
Yes, a year and some change.
- [27:37]
A
That is actually crazy.
- [27:39]
B
Yeah. Yeah. That was insane.
- [27:42]
A
Well, on a more positive note.
- [27:44]
B
Oh, I guess. Yeah, on a more positive note.
- [27:46]
A
Do you want to keep talking about that? No, on a more positive note. You met Adrian.
- [27:51]
B
I met Adrian a year ago.
- [27:55]
A
So tell us how you guys met.
- [27:59]
B
This story. It's crazy. So crazy. Okay, so. Okay, so he was a. You had. Let me just run it really bad. Let me do the fast story. The long story fast. I'll bring it back to the video you made. So Adrian had a cornhole set. That was Bangles gear. He did something with Amazon Prime Day or something, and they needed to pick a team or something. And he had a bangled cornhole. Okay. Which turned out to be great in his world because he. Once the breakup happened, I think he, like, he didn't know who I was, but I think he was, like, taking a moment away. Viral moment of my relationship ending or the relationship ending. And it was a viral moment for a second. And he took his. His Bangles board and was like, okay, well, I guess, like, love's not real. And like. And crushed his Bengals board on a video. And I'm like, who the is this kid? I Get tagged in it a bunch. I'm like, okay, that's really nice of this man. Like, to just support me. Me, in a sense. It doesn't know me, whatever. All of a sudden, that turns out.
- [29:02]
A
He'S on my side, and I didn't even have to explain it right. Okay.
- [29:05]
B
And so I get a lot of tags, whatever. And then that turns into a little bit of, like, oh, like, their energies match. Like, they should get together. And I was like. I was like, okay, cool. So I think I follow him. I followed him after you made that. He was like, that's so nice. Like, he's a big creator. Like, who is this man?
- [29:26]
A
So you're coming out of a toxic relationship. You're like, he smashed a corn bowl. A cornhole.
- [29:30]
B
No. Bare minimum. I'm like, oh, that's so nice.
- [29:33]
A
You're like, ah.
- [29:35]
B
Meanwhile, he's probably didn't give a rat's ass. He's just, you know.
- [29:38]
A
And she's like, I just wanted some views, me.
- [29:40]
B
And I ripped my beater. That's true. Come to find. Come to find out. I'm like, I find out all the real story after I, like, meet his friends and, like, get into his zone. I find out later, like, he had maybe a crush, would you say? And he.
- [29:56]
A
A crush. So he crushed the board.
- [29:58]
B
He crushed the board, Had a crush. I followed him. Apparently, when I followed him that day, he ripped his beater off. It was like, yeah. And all of his. Him and his friends were celebrating. Cool. So then. Then the comment section is like, but you were super sly. You didn't slide in or anything at this. He. I didn't. He didn't. He wasn't in there. Whatever. So then, weird, our comment sections are kind of, like, trickling in of, like, Adrian and Tiana. Like, they match energies. Like, they need to meet, like, blah, blah, blah. And I was like, okay, yeah, cool, whatever. I think we have. We exchanged, like, a couple DMS at that point, but nothing. Nothing crazy. And then it just so happens that I'm in the Public Hotel lobby for New York Fashion Week last year.
- [30:42]
A
Yes.
- [30:42]
B
He's starting his music career. He's doing label meetings in New York, and his manager happened to be staying at the Public Hotel where it was staying, and we just. I. All of a sudden, I mean, I think you guys have heard the story, but all of a sudden I hear, tt, do you love me? And I turn around, like, who the. I'm like, hello? Like, what? What? God, that's so creepy. And I turn around and it's Adoin. And he's so tall. He was so tall and handsome.
- [31:13]
A
Because I remember you guys made tick tocks on that trip. Correct.
- [31:16]
B
So I go up.
- [31:16]
A
I was like. I'm like, they're like, official.
- [31:18]
B
I'm like, adrian, so nice to meet you. I was like, this is. How the hell are you here right now? This is so crazy. Come to find out, he saw that I posted a story of the public hotel and made sure he made his way.
- [31:31]
A
And that post is about. You don't post your location in real time. Right.
- [31:34]
B
That and also, if you want to do. He would.
- [31:37]
A
Yeah.
- [31:37]
B
But also he. So then I go, oh, my God, So nice to meet you. Like, this is so crazy. Like, like, the. Our comment sections. Like, we, like, the people would love to see us together. Like, I was like, I'll go change. I was like, had, like, an afternoon. I was like, I'll go change. We. Let's go make some videos. And he was like, okay.
- [31:53]
A
That is so, like, Gen Z of you.
- [31:55]
B
I know.
- [31:56]
A
I'm embarrassed, but stay here.
- [31:57]
B
Thank God you did. I'm like, you stay here. He was like, okay, perfect.
- [32:01]
A
How. How long after meeting did you guys start officially dating?
- [32:05]
B
We met in September. We started dating beginning of December. December 7th.
- [32:10]
A
That's quick.
- [32:11]
B
Yeah. I think everyone. I think there was this moment of, is she moving too quick? And to that I say, I probably did. Poor Adrian has to deal with, like, my mental. Not to exaggerate the word, but, like, my mental trauma. Like, I'm.
- [32:32]
A
I am going through it well. Yeah. So I can only imagine how, like, because again, it was, like, a year and some change ago, so I can only imagine like, the comments of, oh, look, he doesn't even like her anymore. Those are probably, like, traumatizing to you a little bit because you're like, oh, I was in a relationship where I actually. The other person didn't like me.
- [32:52]
B
Yeah.
- [32:53]
A
To the point where literally left me for other people.
- [32:55]
B
Yeah.
- [32:56]
A
So I can only imagine that. But as like, a friend, it's like, we're friends.
- [33:02]
B
We are. We are.
- [33:03]
A
It is crazy. I'm like, yeah, I guess rolling out, but it is crazy seeing somebody. Like, if you were to leave a relationship and immediately go into another relationship, this is about the healthiest relationship you can do. Because Adrian is unfazed.
- [33:20]
B
He is.
- [33:21]
A
It's like, almost like he, like, welcomes you, actually opening up about all the things you're, like, insecure about.
- [33:27]
B
So.
- [33:28]
A
Yeah.
- [33:29]
B
At the beginning of our relationship, I warned you, didn't I? I think I Warned him for weeks. I was like, look, dude, like, if you want to do this with me, it's not gonna. I can, like, already tell it's not gonna be easy. Like, and it is. It is easy.
- [33:44]
A
We're.
- [33:45]
B
The dynamic is great. He leaves open space for me to, like, crab my little crash outs. Or I'm like, are you actually at the studio?
- [33:54]
A
Yeah. Good relationship.
- [33:56]
B
I'm like, oh, you're on. You're on tour. Are you. Are. Are you actually in your hotel room?
- [34:00]
A
No.
- [34:00]
B
It's like, I'm not like, that crazy, but I am. It is tough, like, the little nuances of a healthy relationship versus what I was in. And he leaves space to do that. And I did give him very fair warning that this was not gonna be seamless, and he signed up for it, so that's on him.
- [34:23]
A
What's the most normal couple thing about you two that people wouldn't expect to see?
- [34:32]
B
That, Like, I feel like. Like social. Like, we. How do I word it? Like, we just. We're not. Social media is like, definitely, like, a back thought of your relationship. Our relationship, which is. I. It's so weird that I even have to say, but it's just like, we are both public.
- [34:53]
A
We guys are both on social media.
- [34:54]
B
So it makes sense and is. But it's not. I don't know. Do you have a better answer?
- [35:00]
A
No.
- [35:00]
B
I feel like that's great. Normal couple.
- [35:04]
A
I mean, I feel like it's interesting.
- [35:08]
B
Our fridge is messy. Is it like stuff like that?
- [35:12]
A
Like you guys. It's crazy though, because you guys aren't really a normal couple. Like Adrian on tour. And like, yeah, this is not normal.
- [35:20]
B
I feel like we're so normal for how not normal the situation is, though.
- [35:25]
A
Yeah.
- [35:26]
B
I mean, but like, what is normal, right? Because people are weird. What is normal?
- [35:29]
A
People.
- [35:30]
B
People are weird, bro. Me included. Everybody. Everybody's a little weird.
- [35:36]

- [41:06]
A
You're like maybe never do that Ever again. What are Adrian's green flags?
- [41:10]
B
His Instagram Explore page.
- [41:13]
A
No, actually, I saw that. That's kind of a red flag.
- [41:15]
B
Borderline.
- [41:15]
A
A red flag, though, not because of, like, there's girls, but, like, like, the pig twerking.
- [41:20]
B
Like, hello. Like, are you.
- [41:22]
A
Are you good? Okay. Yeah. I'm like, little dog in the panties.
- [41:27]
B
Goodbye. Yeah. See?
- [41:29]
A
Yeah.
- [41:30]
B
It's a catoba.
- [41:35]
A
Yeah. What are. What are Adrian's green.
- [41:37]
B
His green flags are like. Like, he's borderline. Like, he's the sweetest man you'll ever meet, but he's borderline, like, rude. Like, not. He's not. But, like, he's bored. He's, like, very. Like, he's a New Yorker through and through. Like, he's got his walls like. No. Like, he's not like, this, like, mushy, gushy. Like, people aren't coming up to him, and he's, like, giving them the time of day, really.
- [42:01]
A
Which.
- [42:01]
B
Leave that spot for me. Like, I'll take the reins here.
- [42:04]
A
You.
- [42:05]
B
Hey, we got this. Like, I'll hold the dynamic. You do what you need to do. He is very, like. I don't know if that made sense, but he's. You're very. Like, I give people the time of day. He. I know. I don't mean it like that.
- [42:17]
A
Like, let's rewind.
- [42:19]
B
He's very, like.
- [42:19]
A
Oh, that's agree.
- [42:20]
B
He's kind of, like, cold sometimes. He's like. So he's very guard. Okay.
- [42:25]
A
Yeah, that's okay. Guarded. So Adrian, screen black is. He's guarded.
- [42:29]
B
He's like. Yeah, guarded in, like, a health. Like, he just, like, he's not his.
- [42:34]
A
Do you think he protects his peace? Yes.
- [42:38]
B
Dude. And I kind of. I don't know if you want me to say this, but, like, he's. He's very different than he is online. Very different. He's. He. Online is business.
- [42:46]
A
He.
- [42:46]
B
He's.
- [42:47]
A
He is, I think, to an extent, a performer. Yes. But I think also if you're like, like, around him and, like, a night out, he's the same.
- [42:55]
B
Once he open, he's like, your form online is, like, you very open. Yeah. In, like, close with people form. But I would say, like, when I'm meeting people, I assume the worst and you assume the best. Yeah. When we're meeting people, he assumes the worst New Yorker, I assume the best. And it's a nice dynamic we have going. But sometimes that's probably nice for you. It's nice for me. I'm like, yeah, you don't need to talk to people. We're good.
- [43:20]
A
I'm sure a lot of people are wondering this. Are you actually moving in with Adrian?
- [43:24]
B
Oh, she moved in. Her stuff didn't move. Yeah, I damn near moved. I'm damn near living there.
- [43:30]
A
Whenever I check your location, I'm like, oh, yeah, she's.
- [43:33]
B
She's in.
- [43:34]
A
In Nashville.
- [43:35]
B
Yeah.
- [43:35]
A
Like, that's weird. Her apartment's in Austin.
- [43:37]
B
Like, why isn't she ever home? My car is just sitting there to.
- [43:42]
A
Like, fully move in.
- [43:43]
B
Terror, dude. Yeah, I haven't, like, even gone into this publicly. Terrified. Terrible.
- [43:50]
A
Last time you lived somewhere, it wasn't even yours.
- [43:53]
B
Well, at first I was like, adrian, I want it.
- [43:56]
A
It was yours, right? Okay. I. I think it was yours, Adrian.
- [44:00]
B
Well, there was, like, steps to this agent was like, okay, well, if I buy a house, will you move in? I always say that. I think it's funny. And I'm like, maybe. Anyways, I pick up. Yes. I pick out the house. We move in. I move in. My stuff doesn't. But then I'm like, okay. But before, that was like, okay, well, I'll move. Maybe when I. If I have a ring, I'll move in. Cuz, like, fuck all that. Like, I'm not doing this. But then I'm like, wait, wait, wait, wait. A ring doesn't actually mean anything, right? I've learned that the fucking hard way. So. Okay. We don't really need that. So I was like, okay, whatever. Scratch that idea. But I think I was just, like, finding ways to, like, not fully dive fully into that again. And then I've talked. I've talked a lot about it. Talked to a lot of people. I've talked. We've had a lot of conversations about it. I keep asking him, I'm like, do you really want me to move in? Do you actually want me to move in?
- [44:49]
A
Are you thinking he's just going to change his mind one day?
- [44:53]
B
I just have no trust in anyone's word anymore.
- [44:58]
A
That's so sad.
- [44:59]
B
I know, but it.
- [45:01]
A
It makes sense. After everything you've been through and because one day you're like, oh, shoot, I have to move my. Out of all this house. Oh, and you want the car back? Like, okay, you got. Did he ask for the ring back?
- [45:12]
B
No, but. And I wish I would.
- [45:14]
A
He did.
- [45:14]
B
On the record. I wish I would have kept that.
- [45:16]
A
Wait, you gave it back?
- [45:17]
B
I. Honorably. Dude, here's. I. We had little bowls that were engraved tea and whatever. The. And I. The ring bowls. And I left. Left both of them on the counter put my ring in there. I didn't even want. I didn't even want that. I didn't even want. I didn't want nothing from this.
- [45:33]
A
The pawn shop probably did.
- [45:34]
B
I didn't want nothing from this man, and I didn't need nothing from this man.
- [45:38]
A
Okay.
- [45:39]
B
And I left the ring.
- [45:40]
A
I would have took it, but.
- [45:41]
B
Okay, and good luck giving it to someone else, because I had an engraved nickname in there, so good luck. But then I left it in the bowl with. I just got back from Paris. I got the dogs two little croissant. Fucking. No. Bitch.
- [46:00]
A
Now her being more upset over the croissant ring.
- [46:04]
B
This is the can of words I, like, have yet to open is the dogs. Like, I can't even look at my camera roll. I can't even think of them. Left them my two little croissants.
- [46:11]
A
You're getting emotional.

B
From your story that there is freaking. There is light at the end of the tunnel. It'll feel like you want to die sometimes. And you're not going to. In fact, you are on the path to something better.

A
There's something waiting for you.
- [49:32]
B
There's something waiting for you, and this was the sign that you needed. And it's. It's a setback, but it's really not, because it's. It's answers that this wasn't right. So go find. Was actually right. And it's gonna hurt like hell, but there's something way better at the other side, baby.
