a social official.

23
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:10.079
If anyone is ever curious the power, Yeah, if anyone

24
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:13.000
is ever curious the power of Trey's three pound Chua

25
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:14.239
with Daisy to.

26
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:15.159
Lure a woman.

27
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:18.359
I mean, it's it's on full display right now, because

28
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:20.799
five minutes ago, Raj thought he had a shot. Then

29
00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:24.560
Tray pulled out Daisy, and in that five minutes, Lauren's

30
00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:26.079
now referring to Raj is dude.

31
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:31.400
Now it's a terrible habit, dude, homie bro I know

32
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:32.159
I do it.

33
00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:38.359
Anything you can find, I can find it.

34
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:46.879
Now, Lauren, you said you have wins wins, you haves

35
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:47.840
as well, I do.

36
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:50.439
I have two little hairless, hairless cats running.

37
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:52.719
I know.

38
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:56.519
I'm gonna make sure I hear this. I'm gonna make

39
00:01:56.519 --> 00:01:57.680
sure I get this correct.

40
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:00.400
So, Lauren, you're a thirty four year old version and

41
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:04.079
you have two hairless cats. Yes, sir, realize what that

42
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:06.120
sounds like, said out loud, right.

43
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:09.199
I do you know, I surprise people.

44
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:11.680
I just want to make sure I'm just That's one

45
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:13.719
of the things I was curious about is how self

46
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:16.680
aware are you. I know you're aware of your age

47
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:19.319
and your name and your V card status. I'm just

48
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:21.599
wondering how self aware you are, and seems to be

49
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:22.000
quite a bit.

50
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:25.680
So. Yeah, just really leaning into those crazy cat lady

51
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:27.159
stereotyped you know.

52
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.080
Yeah, but you took it to a new level with

53
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:32.639
two cats, and you took it to an additional level

54
00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:34.400
with them being hairless.

55
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:38.159
Oh they're so cute though, You just haven't you just

56
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:38.879
haven't met them yet.

57
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:43.439
They're so cy Can we see them? You can rog

58
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:45.719
you just and you're asking her to see her.

59
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:49.159
All right, let me.

60
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:55.240
Time, please escape just I'm so glad she's in Maine

61
00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:01.000
and you too. Calm down. I no, I got I

62
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:07.560
didn't realize you're talking about snatching Mexicans to three outside

63
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:08.000
right now?

64
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:08.800
There?

65
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:14.280
Oh that's like job. Who are the episode of Friends?

66
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:22.240
Rachel gets all right, honey, he hates being held. I know,

67
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:25.479
I know. Yeah, these are my boys. I'm a boy.

68
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:28.400
Okay, okay, yeah, she's a boy.

69
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:30.560
Mom.

70
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:32.319
I would like to point out that this is the

71
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:34.719
point in which the interview went completely off the rails.

72
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:39.960
Oh yeah, okay, that's we actually we we we roll

73
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:40.960
with that quite nicely.

74
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:44.360
It's kind of on brand for you guys. I feel like, yeah, I.

75
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:47.319
Believe you know what's you know, it's very well already

76
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:52.599
so as a social media into tea, as as someone

77
00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:55.000
I don't necessarily call you an influencer. That that's you're

78
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:58.199
just you put yourself out there and you you tell

79
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:03.919
your story. With that public display comes a lot of comments.

80
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:08.719
And I have said for many years the comment section

81
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:11.520
is where humanity goes to die.

82
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:16.120
Yeah, I can't even fathom.

83
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:20.680
What your comment section must look like being a strong

84
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:26.040
female who honestly, I could stop right there just saying

85
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:28.399
you're a strong female. That would you know, light up

86
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:31.120
your comment section enough, but then adding on to it,

87
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:34.399
you're a virgin and you're happy about it, and you

88
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:38.680
freely say it's partly because you have such high standards

89
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:41.680
and people love to tear that kind of stuff down.

90
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:45.240
So what's it like in your comment section, Lauren?

91
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:47.680
It's actually not as bad as you would think. I

92
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:50.079
think when I first started, you know, posting, there was

93
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:52.600
kind of a mixture. I feel like it was maybe

94
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:55.399
more negative than it is now. But I honestly feel

95
00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:58.160
like at this point like it's actually like I almost

96
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:02.439
want to say, like eighty percent positive and it's It's

97
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:04.800
also kind of interesting the is.

98
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:06.720
That because you recently posted a video of you at

99
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:07.639
the gun range.

100
00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:10.680
I do love the gun range.

101
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:13.560
When you're doing the promo for the ad earlier, I

102
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:18.040
was like, yes, yeah, I mean that's like another thing too,

103
00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:19.560
is that I like to be kind of open about,

104
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:21.959
you know, everything that I support and you know, my

105
00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:25.120
lifestyle and everything like that. So as opposed to like

106
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:27.600
trying to cater to what you think people want.

107
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:28.759
I think it's also important to.

108
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:31.600
You know, be true to yourself and you know, be

109
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:34.319
honest and not kind of like worry about that because

110
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:36.720
that's how you attract, you know, people that are actually

111
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:40.199
for you. But you know, my comments are actually pretty nice,

112
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:41.560
and it's it's interesting, like the.

113
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:44.160
Duality between the negative.

114
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:46.120
When I do get negative comments, I feel like it's

115
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:49.720
the men versus the women. Comments are actually really interesting

116
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:52.519
because usually if it's like a guy leaving a negative comment,

117
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:56.399
I feel like the guys are so much easier to

118
00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:58.800
win over, like because I do try to respond to

119
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:01.240
most of my comments, and I feel like with guys,

120
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:03.279
if you just kind of like play around with them

121
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:04.839
a little bit and kind of give it back to them,

122
00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:07.560
but maybe not in like a super combative way, they're

123
00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:10.639
usually like, oh, Flora, didn't you know like that? It's

124
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:13.079
the girls that really double down. I feel like when

125
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:15.000
it comes to like the negative comments, the girls are

126
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:19.800
a lot harder I feel like on me, but I

127
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:23.800
mean that's usually like the super like modern feminists girls.

128
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:29.959
I think that sounds pretty accurate. Is that just give

129
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:32.199
a guy a little bit of attention and he'll.

130
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:32.759
Back right down.

131
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:34.240
Yeah, oh totally.

132
00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:36.879
Yeah, No, it's actually it's actually quite strange, Like I

133
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:41.480
feel like there's it's happened multiple times where like there's

134
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:45.680
a like a guy who's who's really like coming for

135
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:49.600
me in the comments, and then in responding to him,

136
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:54.839
then he'll like come in the DMS and and and

137
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:58.360
just you know try to like weave his way in.

138
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:01.079
So it's just very interesting, like you know what kind

139
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:02.040
of happens there with.

140
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:07.399
I I kind of equate that to obviously childish behavior,

141
00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:10.800
but more specifically like when we were little and we

142
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:11.800
liked a girl, we throw.

143
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:12.800
A rock at her kind of a thing.

144
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:14.199
Yes, yes, that's.

145
00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:17.560
The kid version. At the adult version is to slam

146
00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:20.120
a woman either online.

147
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:22.079
Or to her face or something, thinking that's going to

148
00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:25.639
be the thing that you know, breaks the ice along

149
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:30.680
with her head. And you're experiencing that, you've you've you've

150
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:33.639
now experienced the adult version of the rock being thrown

151
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:33.959
at you.

152
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:37.120
Yeah, that's so funny. I was thinking of that too. Yeah,

153
00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:39.319
I'm like that kind of does feel that way, you know.

154
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:42.639
So meanwhile, Trey's version of throwing the rock at the

155
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:45.000
pretty girl is is picking up and holding his three

156
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:46.519
pound Twales.

157
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:57.600
Statue, and Laura just one other things. At Roj hates guns.

158
00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:00.879
Really, Oh I do love I do love guns.

159
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:01.879
Yes, I love them.

160
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:05.040
He hates them.

161
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:08.600
I guess super adorable when Trey and Daisy roll up

162
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:18.279
to Defender Outdoors. Oh God, so the virgin thing you've

163
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:20.600
you've got, the high standards, you've said, you know that

164
00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:22.759
you want someone that's you know, got some money and

165
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:25.120
got some who's established kind of a thing. And if

166
00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:30.000
I remember the original story, uh, it involved you kind

167
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:32.360
of comparing any guy that you might have any interest

168
00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:35.759
in to your dad because he is, he's established, and

169
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:37.559
he's sort of and this is not a brand new thing.

170
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:40.960
A lot of a lot of women will hold any

171
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:44.639
guy that they have any interest in and compare it

172
00:08:44.679 --> 00:08:48.399
to dad. Is that is that too tall of an

173
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:50.840
order for most men to hold up to.

174
00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:53.639
Well, I wouldn't say it's entirely accurate. I mean I

175
00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:56.120
think I think that's kind of the natural assumption to make.

176
00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:58.519
Is that you know, especially when you read that article

177
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:00.320
and kind of like all the words strung together, that

178
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:02.480
I would want someone like my dad. I love my

179
00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:04.960
dad is amazing, love my dad had the best dad

180
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:09.480
growing up, amazing sixteen years with him. But in my mind,

181
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:11.159
I don't know that the kind of like.

182
00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:13.039
Idea.

183
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:14.559
I kind of like to keep the two separate in

184
00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:16.919
my mind, like when someone talks about wanting someone like

185
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:19.120
their dad, like, yeah, my dad was amazing. I would

186
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:20.679
love a great guy like my dad, But I don't

187
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:23.159
like to think of like I'm looking for my dad.

188
00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:26.519
It's kind of weird, you know. So I actually don't

189
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:27.559
think that's entirely accurate.

190
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:29.080
I think that's just kind of more a conclusion that

191
00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:31.799
people draw when they hear that, oh my dad did

192
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:35.120
when I was sixteen, and you know, I I'm like,

193
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:39.120
I have high standards and stuff like that. Yeah, I mean,

194
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:41.519
my dad's amazing. But what I want something exactly like

195
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:43.919
my dad. I just can't quite like fit those two

196
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:46.639
things in my mind. Is just it's just like kind

197
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:51.399
of weird. So yeah, so no, I'm not looking for

198
00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:56.840
someone in that sense like my dad. But yeah no,

199
00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:58.799
I mean standards are important to me. I feel like

200
00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:01.399
it's just like it's also not really something that we

201
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:03.600
can entirely help. I mean, it's like what you're attracted to,

202
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:07.639
and I don't experience attraction frequently, and so picture someone

203
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:11.919
like Aaron Rodgers. Like that's like my ideal is someone

204
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:19.480
like Aaron Rodgers or just or just Aaron Rodgers. Yeah,

205
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:23.879
everything that he like stands for, you know, the lifestyle.

206
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:27.559
He's very articulate, very spiritual to him.

207
00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:30.559
So and the ayahuasca.

208
00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:34.440
Yeah, ayahuasca scares me a little bit, but like maybe

209
00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:35.840
I could be convinced.

210
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:38.200
If it was Aaron Rodgers, you'd do it.

211
00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:40.159
If Aaron Rodgers showed up and said, hey, come in,

212
00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:42.159
come into this hot teepee and smoked some stuff, you're

213
00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:44.759
gonna be like, Okay, maybe.

214
00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:45.720
I mean, oh, there you have it.

215
00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:47.360
You may be a thirty four year old virgin, but

216
00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:49.440
at the end and deep in her heart, she's still

217
00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:50.200
a cleat chaser.

218
00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:55.399
No professional athletes will get.

219
00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:58.919
Him every single time. Lauren, thank you so much for

220
00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:02.080
taking the time. We appreciate it. Trey, any any last

221
00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:04.440
love letters you'd like to throw at Lauren Raj I'd

222
00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:05.720
ask you, but you're done, You're out.

223
00:11:06.919 --> 00:11:09.559
No, she's not gonna date it brows.

224
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:12.559
She's wonderful to cuddle with.

225
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:16.159
Ah, are you talking about Lauren or the dog?

226
00:11:17.399 --> 00:11:22.120
I was gonna say this man.

227
00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:25.200
All right, Lauren, thank you so much. We appreciate the time.

228
00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:27.919
