How fun would it be to put Nick on the spot and watch him cry of our gifts? Because of pure happiness and of pure joy and pure shock, honestly. I hate receiving gifts. Also, I want to acknowledge that before we came up to the studio, Victoria knows and I frequent a Euro place. I like your own prize. - Every day. - I'm also, I'm a creature of habit.

Do you want him to open up mine first or your first? - What do you feel, your wife? - Well, I don't know what yours is. You do know what mine is. - So, please set me up for success here. - I think maybe you go first. - Okay, great. - Yeah. - This is "Let Me Preface." - As I said, on yesterday's episode, our trip to the like was a last-minute labor of love and that was his gift.

That's a great gift. The gag is like, Natalie knows a big packer fan. And like, so she's gotten me some like cool, some really cool packer vintage t-shirts. And then she just still always started kidding me. - T-shirts. - And then I had to like-- - You've learned-- - Notice, you have great T's though. - He does have vintage. - Thank you. And I learned from Victoria that he actually hates that he's getting vintage, one of a kind packer t-shirts. So I thought, you know what I was like. - Because like Victoria, she's just like, Victoria, she's a friend and she sets me up for success. 'Cause it's like, I don't, you know, I'm not always paying attention, you know, to stuff. And like, I can go to Victoria and be like, "Yo, like, what do I need to do?" And then Victoria will drop some information. And I'll be like, well, you know she got me a t-shirt. - I was in the Rolex, Victoria was like, you should get Natalie a Rolex for her birthday. And if it's like-- - Well, you know, she did get me a t-shirt last year or so. - That's like, doesn't matter, babe. - Which I love. - Doesn't matter at all. - This is an amazing t-shirt. This is really cool. - Oh, she knew you would love it. - On Etsy, it's one of a kind.

What are you listening to? He's like Madonna. - I'm afraid to ask, but what's the Madonna song that I would know? - Oh boy. - Sing it. - Like a virgin? - Like a virgin. - What's your favorite? - Touch for the very first time. - That's Madonna. Okay, bet. I know that. This is Rick's song called Madonna. - Oh, um. - Yeah, the one that you always listen to. - Oh, I come up. - Is that the one you listen to all the time? - All the time.

So this is kind of like a tribute to that. - Wait, cute. - Okay, thank you. - Okay. And he's a great chef, by the way. I'm stealing all of his recipes. I'm gonna make a cookbook. - Oh. - Necessary. - Yeah. - Necessary. - It is. - Necessary. - Also. - Gaggith. - Just one. - Oh. Did you want matching? - But you wanted to pull out a pot. - Sometimes I'm, that's crazy. - I have to check. - This is like when I bought him the tickets to go to the lake and he goes, we're leaving Saturday? Why not Friday? Wait, not him still looking in the bag. Like another one was gonna drop out. He says, anything else? - This is all. (laughing) - That's what you see. Wait, I didn't realize I needed to get. - Well, head on that one. - Am I crazy? - Am I crazy? - I don't know, I thought it was just one 'cause you always are using one. - Fuck. - I gotta go back. - I don't know. Honestly, that would've been a good, that would've been a good question for Giata. Like, is there kitchen etiquette? - Sorry. Yeah, this is a podcast. - Yeah. - That was crazy. - It feels like Christmas. - Well, look at that. That's, this is how he is. - Discussing this is how he is. - That's how my apartment looks. - Yeah. - Oh. - I walk in and I throw things on the grill. - Yeah, he's like a hurricane. - This is kind of comforting. - What else do we have on the docket? - Hold up. - He hated it. (laughing) - The fuck. He loves his teacher. - No, it's really great. It's a nice thing. - It's an oven, man. - Oh, yeah. No, but can you tell me what it is? - Wait, wait, wait, wait. - Can you fucking tell me why I got you the fucking oven that you asshole? - Where the hell are you? - You're telling us. You're telling the story of why I got you the fucking oven, man. He just is like, "Yeah, no, fuck you, oven man, oven man." - What happened? - The only one. - Like, what the fuck? There's a story behind the fucking oven man. - Yeah. - Do you want me to tell them? - Sure, sorry. I was like. - Oh my god, what a dick. He's like, "Yeah, everyone's here with us every day." Obviously, they know why I need another oven man. Okay, Nick has oven mits, but they all have holes in them. (laughing) - And the worst part, like right. - Right, right. - All right, honestly, if you had an oven myth and only had three points, you would want it right here in the V of your index finger and thumb. - And I got burned one day when I was using it and I was like, "Oh, and he was like, "Yeah, you know what? "We need new oven mits." And that's why you have one. - Thank you. - Yeah, you're welcome. - It's like when you get socks for Christmas. - Yes. - You're holding your socks. - Exactly, precisely. - The purposeful oven mits. - Anyways. - When you get socks, Jim, do you have a whole, do you have a whole, like, socks? - Yes. (laughing) - Lined up. - It's appreciated, like, I'll use and wear the socks, but I'm not like geeking about the socks. - You're not like, "Wow, this is so sweet." - Unless it's a Williams Sonoma sock. - Thank you. - There we go. - There we go, unless it's a good brand. - You'll be like, his love language is he wants me to think of him.
like I'm literally thinking of them by getting them socks. So like, check, facts, facts, facts. - Well, we could talk about how there's already Christmas decorations out. Are you guys decorating for Halloween? - Listen. - Now he has already got our Christmas decorations scheduled. - Oh, decorations. I have our lights for our house scheduled. And it, I did last year do it before Halloween. And then I did have to send an apology text to the neighborhood group chat being like, sorry, that your kids are trick or treating. And my house is fully decked out for Christmas. I'm very sorry to come by. - That's hilarious. - So this year. - Did you do Halloween decor? - I'm doing November first. I do Halloween decor, but now that I have kit, I didn't ever do it before kids. Now that I have kids, I like the, like, not scary Halloween decor. So we go out with, it's a lot of home goods. - I second that. - It's a lot of cats with witches hat and dogs with broomsticks, you know? Like that's the vibe of our Halloween. - Not like a haunted house. - No, that's not. - No, no, no, no, no. - I never like, I never like trick or treat at those houses. I always let the other kids go get the candy and bring it back. - Yeah. - I don't like getting scared. - You like that house is spooky. - That house is very spooky. - Yeah. - We'll put the Halloween stuff out and then we'll just leave the pumpkins for the next week. And then it's Christmas. Perfect. - Does your house smell like chai and pumpkin spice? - You know, I actually just bought my first pumpkin candle the other day and I am excited to light that bit. - Say my favorite thing about fall is the sense. - Fall, yeah. That fall has a smell. - It does. - Halloween doesn't. - No, oh, no Halloween does for sure it does. - Has a smell? - Plastic. - It's a Halloween store. - Care. - Kids screaming, blood, lot of blood. - Yeah, but anyway, store smells. - Well, I still have all my Christmas decorations up two years ago from my ex put them up. - Is a single man, Jim, do you put up a Christmas tree? - Mom, he just said that. - I do not. I would love to, but I just, I don't know how to do that. - So then what decorations do you have left up? - There's like a, I don't know how to describe these things. It's like a ribbon, red ribbon thing. That's like glittery. It's like hanging on a plant that we call the tree. And there's like stickers on the windows of like. - Victoria said you're still in love. - Candy canes and shit. - Is that true? Yes or no? - I'm in love with Victoria. - No, no, you're ex-girlfriend that you're keeping her decorations in your house because you don't want to forget about her. - Oh, hell no. - I mean, I got love for her, but hail nine in love for her. - So you're just lazy. - Yeah. - Oh yeah. - Oh yeah. - Well, it's a nice touch. The cat's like it, so. - That's lazy. Victoria, I moved into my Venice apartment and I had one box. I unpacked everything day of. I felt really proud of myself that I was sufficient. But there was one box. I was like, I'll get to that later. And it stayed there until the day I moved out. - What was in it? - Clearly stuff I didn't need. - Honestly, it doesn't surprise me, but I hate that. - I'm just saying. That's lazy. - The extent of my decorating for the holidays is just the candles. That's when I get in my bag, like the smells. - Okay, period. - Listen, I feel like the kids these days on Instagram are posting horizontally their selfies. And I have yet to divulge, is it in? Victoria, you're more hip than I am. - Is it showing the black bars than the crop? - You can color them. - You color them. - I know what it's talking about. No, depending on how you posted it. - No. - No, he's not understanding. - He's not understanding. - If you're not-- - That's on 46, babe. - It's so good. - Love you? Yeah, that's, I don't think. Just like, like taking a selfie instead of like this, you're taking it like this. - I just posted about it. - In the other net, horizontal. - Yeah. - What I've been noticing doing there. - It's good engagement is that you take two horizontal selfies and you like kind of put them over the top of each other so it's like two photos in one on Instagram. - Let me show Nick an example. - Okay. - Because I have one, 'cause I just posted it because I am very zealennial, he's on trend. I'm a zealennial. - Okay, that's just, yeah. - Yeah, it's a static. - He said, yeah. - But you do it once. - Yeah, that's swaggy. - Yeah, that's very swaggy. It's very cool. You do one up top and bottom. And you put it in a dump. - You put it in a dump. - Yeah, man, great, love. - Yeah. - I'll even just turn it sideways at like a little 90 degree angle and just throw it in a dump. - That's what I did too. I used to be really good at Instagram. - And you feel like you're not anymore? - Well, I'm lucky enough that I can be a little bit, but yeah, no, I don't think so. - He hasn't posted on his Instagram and it's my birthday, I guess. And then before that, it was Mother's Day. Oh. - That's goals, honestly. You get to that point. - Yeah. - It is goals. Yeah, I do like this, this era of you because the like- - I mean, when she was like, you were like out there doing the TikTok. - And the roller skating. - Said, well, that was something. - Painting. - You're a roller skater? - And I stood beside you. - Bro, you have no idea. - Bro, I used to love roller blade and around like the leg Michigan. - Would you fly out a girl that you were trying to like, hook up with and have her record you? - That's confidence. - That's confidence. - I didn't care. - That is funny. - Like do it. - It is confident. - Yo, I'll just film you real quick. - It's crazy. And he like made me walk with him like, well, he was skating. - Right? - I asked politely. - He did ask. But he was skating and I was walking. So he wanted to get to a certain alleyway and he was like there before I could do that. - Listen, I'm like, slow down. - I must have looked really good because honestly, when I looked back and think about it, it was disgusting, Jim. There is no way a man should be able to do that and like, she sticks around. - You were feeling yourself. Would y'all go like ice skating as like a date around Christmas time? - Yeah, I can't skate. - Oh. - Yeah, I'm scared. - That was really fast. - First of all. - Natalie, I hear you though. It's all good. - Thank you. First of all, I'd like to be on my tent. - Yeah, Jim, at our lake, when we go up in the winter, it freezes over when we make a ice skating rink. - Yeah. - And we have gotten ice skating to another there. - And he does skate by himself. - So jumping up and doing tomorrow, he is. - No, I like mighty, I like mighty duck it. I'm gordy. - So much fun. - I'm sun the ice in the upper Midwest, just chasing my-- - Did you grow ice fishing? - I'm not much of a fisher. - Okay, I saw that out the hotel window when we played Wisconsin. - Before we move on, I just want to say to both of you, those were very thoughtful gifts. And I'm so grateful to have you both in my life, especially you in my life. (laughing) And the T-shirt was fantastic. And what would I do without another ever met? - You needed that. - Thank you. Your birthday gifts are coming from me whenever we're in the studio together. - I can't wait, I hope that they top. - These two. - No, mind her sick, I ain't gonna lie, mind her sick. - Well, speaking of spending money and lots of it, being a woman is expensive. And I've been trying to get my husband to indulge himself in some of the women. - Botox. - Yeah. - He needs it. Just kidding. (laughing) - Dayo. - It was a joke. - Well, it comes after Victoria has obviously gotten some microneedling done. - Obviously this is so insane. (laughing) - She's looking a little sunburnt in the face. - If you thought that I looked red. - If I look younger. - Can y'all explain to me what microneedling is? Because in my world, microneedling is what we do for rehab, like my shoulder. - It's basically rehab-free. - I just think that's the acupuncture. - Well, and it's also rehab-free. - No, it's called, I think it's called dry kneeling, actually, where they're just like going like this in your shoulder and it hurts really bad. - That's exactly what they do to your face. - I thought it was just an eyebrow thing. - That's cheating. - Microneedling. - Yes. - It's a waste tearing up my eyebrows right now. - And microneedling, they're just like poking your face. - So it's, they're doing little punctures to your face to create miniature wounds so that you have regrowth of skin cells. So then you have baby skin. - Now is this, is this science-based? - Yes, it is. - It's science-based, yes. And that's why I look like I'm 12. - Okay. - Skin-wise. (laughing) - If you were curious. - And how much does that cost? Is that like an expensive treatment? - Each treatment, you know. - How many treatments? - Is it a weekly treatment? - So you'll see it on her story here, pretty soon. Did I get it for free? - I'm not gonna say that. - That part, that part. Is it like the red light skin therapy where you have to like keep up with it in order to like see results? - Yes. - 'Cause I'm low-key tapped into the beauty industry tips and tricks, little gadgets now too. - Okay, well then you need microneedling. You need it. - Right now, today. - People like needle in my face though. - Scary. - Well, you recover. How fast is it? What is the downtime? - It's just a day. - Just one day. - And the one day that you guys asked me to come on this podcast was the day that my face looked like this. - Right. - Yeah. - That's great. - Thank you. - So I just got into like the face mask and the under eye mask. Like how far away am I from that? - Well, I depend what face masks are you using? - I like Unia Anua, Korean skincare joint. I like biomedicubes, my mixing, conflating brands here. - A little bit of care, yes. - CosRx, am I getting that right Justin? CosRx. - Oh yeah, Justin is our in-house skincare connoisseur. - Do you have like a whole routine? Are you like Zen? Is it like a ritual like, I don't know how you do it? - I don't have like a routine yet, but if I feel like I need to look pretty, I got a little-- - Are you consistent or are you like me where it's just like, maybe I use it today? - Yeah, it's not super consistent. Shout out to Keele's, they could hook you up. I'm sure they would send you some stuff. You should definitely look at their products. Cause your skin's looking a little dull. - That's about two. - Oh my gosh, I'm just kidding. I can't see your pores from here. How much does it cost per month to feel presentable as a woman? What do you feel like? - Before I answer that question, who sets that standard? - We do. - Who's we? - Me and Natalie.
Yeah, well, I will say I just don't want to be blamed for no, I will say since having kids I haven't got my nails done and so long like Can you see my please don't show my toes if you can see the shower dogs and please please? It would it be a woman dating versus a woman married? Oh Different lifestyle is different expenses. No because I haven't shaved my legs in far too long And that is because my husband really doesn't even notice when they are shaved So I might as well save the energy even when it's prickly He doesn't know he will rub that leg and not say a thing. Don't you love it? He when it stabs you I guess it's not that bad. What can I say I love my wife? Yeah I'm so enthralled, but well listen listen, we have a busy life like It is great like it's great and it's not that bad But it's also hectic and every day is just like over. I have a question How are our spray tans expensive like the ones where they get like the like 10 and they like Like literally like spray paint them for someone to come to your house It's about 130 bucks. If you want to go to suntan city like I do 25 bucks It's just this good. It's okay. Shut up. It's a Also girls haircuts are dumb expensive very expensive. Oh my gosh I don't know if this is everywhere. It wasn't when I lived in Savannah and a haircut was like I don't know 30 bucks.

No, I try to go. I like I love a good barber shop in New York City What would you do if your barber was drinking ice coffee at his interview? Great question. I was just thinking the same thing. I would never switch up on him. Why do you ask? Because there is a question going around is it unprofessional to bring a nice coffee into an interview and I think Like a job interview, right? A job interview. I would always be scared if I was like It's something you would notice. It's like if I made a coffee or stopped to get a coffee and then it was like Oh, I all of a sudden hit traffic and I'm gonna be late to work like I can't walk in with this coffee because they're gonna Yeah, you better just start to get coffee and that's why I'm late, but really I was behind a train Literally literally So you're late to this meeting as well No, no, no, no, you brought a nice coffee. Yeah, if you're late then it then it's a bad look If you have too much time on your hands, it feels you know, you're just walking him with like a shake and ice coffee and you're like Yeah, it's not good. It's like what are you doing? What did you didn't you? I once didn't get a job And found out the reason why it's because I pour myself a glass of water Uh when I sat down. I think that's ridiculous. I don't that I did that or no that you didn't get the job because of that It's presumptuous as you said It's like you pour the glass of water before you're answering the question take a big bulb and then you're like All right, what do you want to ask me? Yeah, I would be like it's not that deep. We're always thirsty Wait, can I can I like interrupt this message for something?

That is my prime time then you can come this any time you want you know you have to be perfect for age of attraction You you you you are not afraid of an age difference so true if we send you for age of attraction. You're out You don't want to do it. I would love to He's not doing dating. You can say it's not for me. He's not doing. I'm speaking for her. She's not doing any more dating reality TV shows That's fair. Yeah, no, I'm done. Yeah, which is it's bad for the show because obviously I want to show to do well and you know you'd be great I know I would but I um Yeah, you know, she's got other things on her docket. We are leaving for age of attraction in the film season two soon Which is crazy wild. I also just like good, you know, I'm just uh I knew it like obviously we had no choice because we didn't make the schedule but like having twins two and a half months ago and uh Being racquet ready to rock and roll is is no uh small feat No, it's kind of crazy because we had river and then had our wedding date already set and stone and so that was two and a half months later I was postpart I was two and a half months postpartum at our wedding and then Had the twins and then they were like hey so we're looking to film season two of age of attraction like this time and I was like oh I'll also be two and a half Months postpartum then as well. So if I seem a little cuckoo crazy when y'all watch it back just know There are some hormones pumping That's okay and you look amazing It's insane. I'm very excited about I think people I think it's gonna be great because I'm always amazed by like when people make shows How like on the first season they honestly like they have not like they're kind of just figuring it out as they go It's shocking
When it comes to reality TV, how good the producers are at thinking on the fly and just like the real good ones like honestly are trying to figure out how to make the most authentic show and the first season is always the hardest and if it does well there's like you know more budget and there's just like also there's like a shorthand to figuring out like what you want to do so like love is blind it was very successful season one but like season two it really popped and that's when it became like really good so I'm hopeful oh my god it sounds like having children like my dad always said that about having kids like the first kid you're just like figuring it out on the fly and by the second third fourth you started to kind of start to figure it out like that is crazy I mean like I grew up with brothers and sisters so but like I was I hadn't changed the diaper since I was like literally probably eight years old when I was like I wanted to help as a eight year old and I was like I'm good and then I found my way out of it for the rest of my life but there's but there was still a level of like yeah I've been around kids but then when you have a kid it is it is both like surreal and also like I don't know I'm good it's my kid I got to figure it out yeah no choice yeah and he does change majority of the diapers so you are making up for all your mom not helping your mom I've still yet to to try that part I was a charge of my nephew and me and my mom were like tag team in charge and when it was time for that part of play I tapped out you haven't changed the diaper yet no nor you honestly don't and don't let anyone convince you that you need the practice gym because like you don't and you'll figure it out it's really not like rocket science when people are like oh you should practice it's like it really is just like one flap here one for that people also like I'm and I'm very much like it's my like babies are cute but like I don't like I know you have baby fever right now but like when it comes to who does who has baby fever Jimmy no why are you serious come spend a weekend with us who is the woman you're gonna get you're gonna oh you just okay so you you don't have like a woman that you want to impregnate it's just what you want to have no no there's not like a specific okay girl I have in mind to be the mother unless baby but well of course well unless we keep hot in the idea the idea of fatherhood is is appealing to you yeah okay well to get ready for age of attraction we had to get the twins passports and you know with twins showing up like we had you know a lot going on so like we definitely were like we got to do that but then it was like oh shit we got to do that and there's not a lot of time any who if you are in a rush to get a passport like there are a few locations in this country New Orleans Atlanta New York LA there might be more but yeah there's not there's not a ton it's like a regional for sure it's it's certainly not in every state or certainly not every city so I for I had to fly to LA for to get their birth certificate and then last Tuesday we had to drive to Atlanta with the twins to get their birth to get their passport and that was that was very much wins it was it was an adventure certainly I had to take them to get before you have to bring everything there this is like not a place that you can get the photos done you have to come very prepared so that's why we had to have the original birth certificates I had to get their pictures done beforehand so I took them to the closest post office I don't know got their photos taken what was crazy is they the woman did them in the car seat which was so nice that I didn't have to hold them up in front of a white screen or something but then I had to switch the babies into so Iris was asleep dove was awake so dove did hers first the most beautiful passport photo I've ever seen it is incredible it's like and like rivers and Iris is so cute cute cute cute cute little baby and and we're like wow are we got we do so we do a good job in the making good babies and then we see does photo and we're like oh my god like Wilhelmina finer she's stunning it just hits the cover of pampers she's stunning but what what was funny is that I was she was like okay took doves she wanted me to switch the babies and she goes anyone here willing to hold a baby and I was like oh no no that's okay I can I know how to do this I can handle it thank you very much that's amazing that she just honestly trying to be helpful absolutely but this like didn't it wasn't like can you do this do you need help can anyone help it was just like automatically like there's like cannot stranger hold this woman's newborn because somebody hold this baby it's like when it's like when the sweet woman on the air plane like offered to hold what we were I don't know tossing a baby back and forth or something one was crying I need to breastfeed him whatever the situation was in the sweet one but I was like yeah she was like can I hold one to help you know breastfeeding on the plane not pumping and dumps he's got a lot to learn no just breastfeeding just breastfeeding the machine breastfeeding is just like baby on boob okay he's got a lot to learn he has a child what you mean we figured out on the fly we established this I don't think so Jimmy he's really figured it out I can't wait to hear you come back on air after your first kid she just was like do you need some help do you want me to hold her and as like helpful as that would have been it just feels weird to hand your baby to a stranger I mean she was lovely and nothing but helpful but you're like there's a there's like I don't you know you're like I know like you know I didn't I was like it's okay I wouldn't either I would not at least just very hands on hands on mom I'm not going to be that type of mom I already know that no I will not you're a hands-on auntie am I allowed to say you're way

an opportunity to interview Logan from traders new blood and he is an absolute delight I'm actually really sad to see him go after talking with him uh kind of an unceremonious exit but we get to talk with them about traders new blood uh his thoughts and feelings on the current cast uh why he feels he went home and all the traders questions you could possibly want and he is up next by the way thanks for the gift you're welcome it's really it's on the floor it's really it's really I can't wait to cook with it yeah tonight was steak and kale salad uh Logan from traders new blood everybody Logan welcome the show hey thanks for having me super excited very excited to have you first of all sorry that uh you got murdered hey man thanks for the weld business you have a stating I guess my first question is when you went to bed at night I know everyone's always kind of nervous like I'm sure all those are pretty restless nights but were were you how surprised were you that you got murdered when it happened versus it being like kind of dumb luck yeah I wasn't I wouldn't know all that surprised if I'm just being honest okay and why was that well you know I was trying to keep that info a little bit tighter lived and I felt like you know Jay bringing it up at the round table I just felt like maybe it wasn't all right time for me but you know it happens I would agree and that info being is that like the your your you being suspicious of Katie yes okay and what Xavier had said to me you know so uh so you know I I wasn't exactly ready for that timing but hey what it is it happened I I got me a cool little letter I guess they even put a little wax seal on it it was nice okay because I honestly watching it I was it was unclear whether like your suspicions were like you were keeping them to yourself and like the confessionals or if it was like something that you know was kind of spreading around the castle yeah I was definitely keeping it to myself quite a lot the only people that I told was in that small little moment where it was like a heavy bee and a bin and Michael I kind of told it to that little group and obviously Jay was there in the morning whenever Xavier had said that um so he knew and we we had a small moment that we we mentioned it but that's all okay you know I always like obviously this game so much about strategy you know it's just the game but like what would you have done differently if you could do it all over again yeah no it's not what I would have done differently it's what they should have done differently and it's make me a traitor okay you would have been a good traitor you would have been a good traitor with that with that voice I don't know if anyone would have like you get that smile you got that you got that country voice like who would have ever thought oh man great right you would have been a great traitor I'm getting read over here just keep him keep pulling them on I've never gotten so many compliments in my entire life between Joe and and and and you know while we were filming and like everything leading up after it I've never gotten called to answer more in my entire life Logan I'm gonna be honest I did not anticipate you being so bubbly on the show you're very like you know calculated and very you're very intentional
with your demeanor, I feel like, I, this is, this is awesome. Appreciate it, man. You're dope, hang. I mean, the bubbly personality put me on. I'm good. Do you think, has that, have you been able to use that in life? You know, because you have this kind of visionary disarming, kind of southern charming voice, you got this high energy, but like clearly you are capable of, you know, the strategy and making moves. Is that something you're aware of in terms of how people read you in real life? And is that, and did you try to bring that into traders? I mean, I definitely utilize personality in real estate, you know, being a real estate agent, you've definitely got to know how to negotiate and, you know, you're in rooms that are high stress, I've often been in the middle of million dollar deals. So definitely important to be able to play your strengths and weaknesses, but I mean, I'm by no means out here, you know, taking tiny little notes on every detail and, you know, trying to get one over on anybody. I think that I'll lead and have a good reputation in my area for just being an honest dealing person. And I like to, I like to follow that because I, I know the good Lord's looking down on me. I don't want to disappoint. What was your first reaction when you found out who all the traders were, specifically Katie? Oh, man. I wasn't surprised. I mean, I knew the reason why I went home was because I sniff in the right, you know, but, but I definitely had a little bit of a suspicion on Joe, you know, you can only call a guy handsome so many times before he starts questioning it. But, you know, the third one, I was actually a little bit surprised about. I thought that she had some ability to be trade a risk, but I just didn't think that she was one at the time, so she was doing really good. What was it outside of maybe what Xavier just floated to you that had you kind of clock in Katie? Was there anything else you picked up on? Yeah, absolutely. So two things. Whenever they mentioned that it was two people may be competing in, you know, plain side that maybe they were trying to go at each other, which I guess, you know, obviously that was the case. And secondly, she, I noticed that that in nervous situation, she definitely seemed like she was putting on a little bit of a face. I mean, it's just so minute to pick up on and, you know, at the end of the day, I'm just going off of like small instinct, but I felt like I was picking up on it a little bit, you know, and the same, same for Joe. That's what I was picking up on with Joe. I felt like he was like, you know, hey man, he's got an Emmy in the mail coming. You know, he was putting out a little bit of a play, but he was doing great, you know. Maybe you both can remind me, who was the one who said we have to start going after more of the men because they can't be all women traders. And then who was the person who was like, oh, and then who was the person was like, that's some shady shit. Sherry said it. It was who clocked her on it like Abby L said that, oh, how do you know that it was three? And she's the one that I actually thought was the third tray. Okay. I always like, when I'm as a trader's fan, I, like, I always feel like that's a silly thing. Yeah, because I mean, like, like, that's, that is, that is simple logic. You mean I would say, but it's like, it's like, it probably isn't going to be all women. It's just, I've, I've never seen a season. Yeah. I haven't seen them all. Um, it's just always interesting how quickly, um, people will, like, just jump on anything to try to make it an accusation. Did you? Oh, man. And I think that that's just what the early round tables are. I mean, you know, that's why I said, whenever we voted for a Rissa, I said, I knew that we were sitting in a faithful home. I didn't think it was her at all, but you're not going to like be the odd one out to throw some other name on the table. Because then you're going to be, you're going to be targeted by probably that person you voted for. I don't know. In the early times, I mean, it's, it's really just not enough to go off of because the only hint that we would have had so far is the, you know, them fighting and playing side Xavier and Katie and obviously nobody saw him and there's not much to go off of. I don't know. How did you end up on the show? McKinsey signed me up for it. My fiancee. She signed me up for it. It's her favorite TV show ever. Well, why, why you and not her? Why would she like, it's, it needs to be my, my fiancee. Like why did she think you would be perfect as opposed to her? Well, so we play some video games together and I don't know if y'all are familiar with like our curators, but it's a very like, you know, you can either be friends or not and very often I would do the friend into a not friend very quickly. Because I need stuff. Okay. I need the, I need the group. Okay. You know, so she, she plays a lot of video games with me. I'm lucky that I've got some a partner that plays games with me almost every single night. I mean, she is, she's just my best friend, right? Like a string. Yeah. Yeah. Definitely. I'm glad I have it to myself, but there are a lot of men out there who would love video games and it's like, it's like the number one issue in their relationship. Yeah. Now she, she makes me a snack plate, puts it on the plate, hops on the game with me. It's great, dude. She got no friends. Because it's real. Yeah, it didn't, it didn't experience for sure, but yeah, man, she's, she's just awesome. So, so she saw kind of how that I'd play some of those games and, and knew that I was good at, I don't know, just, just a little bit personable. So she thought that she'd sign me up for it. And we argued and argued about this. If I'm just being honest, I was like, Mackenzie, nobody's going to pay attention to me. No, nobody's going to see me and be like, yeah, let's put him on TV. So it was like three days in a row. She kept asking me to just sit down and press record and talk to a camera. And well, eventually on that third day, she picked out my outfit, okay, wrote me a little kind of like guide on what I should say and set up the cameras and lights in the bathroom and said, Logan, 15 minutes, I'm putting a timer on my phone. Why you got to do a sit down and talk? I said, you know, so I finally listened to the boss, I guess, and went in and, and, and talk. And your application. Did you say you wanted to be a trader? You think you, you'd be best suited as a trader? Yes. I want to know what your strategy would have been. Well, you know, I can't talk too much because they might put me on the next season. Who knows, man? I don't want to ruin it. Yeah. I hate it. All I'm gonna say is I'm going to play good. That's all I'm working in TV for 15 years and talking to you. I can see why you got casted, man. Well, I really appreciate that. Before we let you go, obviously there's a lot of people left, but give me three people that you wouldn't be surprised if they ended up winning traders. Okay. So if Katie doesn't get sent home after what I, I'd, I'd left. I think that she has a really good chance. I think that Abby B has a really good chance. She's a super kind, super great personality. I think that if she's left in there, she'll definitely pick up on the trail. And if Jay doesn't get his ass sent home, he'll probably have a good chance to win into. What do you think of Jay's chaos? I'm not going to lie. I don't think that they showed it, but there was a time or two where I even pulled it with side to myself. And I was like, Jay, we got, we got to bring your day on, you know, but it is what it is. I think that he's he's playing his own game and it's unique and it's, you can't be mad at him for he's trying to make his own personality. We were all on TV for the first time in this experience. So he's making the most of his opportunity and at the end of the day, TV is all about having a big personality and buddy is doing that. Correct me if I'm wrong, Logan, because like, yeah, it's about having big personality, but like this show, specifically, you got to win. And I feel like, yeah, he's annoying and I, but I, you know, you can't hit the player, hit the game, but the game seems like it would work if he wasn't on to an actual trader. If he was on to absolutely, because he's then a trader who would want to keep him in. Absolutely, because he's making so much chaos that the traders are going to want to keep him around, right? And that fact that he's blocking an actual trader a lot of his, of his, I think that's a lot of his strategy right now. And like, just like you said, if he wasn't on a trader, he would be left in just for that chaos factor, because that's what the traders love, right, is everything to be mixed up and not a clear picture on, on where to look. He always has to like make, uh, make an alliance with the trader, be like, yeah, I know it's you. Yeah. Or he has to get her off at this next round table like right away, because if not, he's out of there. Exactly. I think so too. Um, you know, wish the best for my buddy. He was, he was so, so, so nice to me. Well, I felt like we connected a good while we were in that castle, but, um, yeah, he's either going to win or get himself sent on and probably not even by the traders. So, Logan, it's been a pleasure talking with you. We're sad to see you get eliminated, but we appreciate taking the time before we let you go though. I did hear that you're, you and your, Mackenzie, it's your guys' goal to maybe get married in the castle. Is that it?
- Yeah, man. - How do we make that happen? - Hey, I heard that Alan is ordained, hook me up, man. I'll meet you there again. - You've met Alan, like you've been on the show, like have you floated this to any of the producers? Have you asked for any help? - I haven't. I'm not a guy that is good at asking for help. (laughing) - Well, let's ask first. - Right now, if anyone says any producers are here. - All right, Alan hook me up. - I feel like, I feel like-- - Just shut up, brother. - Season one of new blood, I think this would be great to have, there's gotta be, there's gotta be a way we can make this happen. (laughing) - And you would want Alan Cummings to marry you too? - That would be so cool. (laughing) What would I be saying? - I should be saying. - I'm a little upset you didn't mention Mark. And I'm kind of curious why everybody says he's the golden retriever because he isn't getting too much screen time, but everybody seems to love him. So I'm keeping my eye on Mark. - Truthfully, I didn't speak to him too much. He's just, he's just, he's just a bro, man. (laughing) - I didn't say it any different, he's just, yeah, he's just, he's just a bro, you know what, if you do talk to him, he's nice, you're like, what's good, you know, and then you move on, that's just, that's just, that is. - Congratulations to this time being on the show, very cool opportunity and shout out to your wife Mackenzie for getting you on. And congratulations on the engagement, but best of luck to both of you. - Thank you so much. - Sorry to see you guys so soon, but we appreciate you taking the time, man. - Well, thank you so much for having me. Again, your Mackenzie's favorite podcast. And it's, I know that she's gonna be jumping up and down for joy whenever she sees me on here. So, I make sure you get my good side just for her, you know. I don't know what side of me is, but you pin it, okay. Whichever side it is, put it on there. Hey, brother, you're great. It's an infectious personality Logan. We appreciate you, man. Best of luck with everything going forward. - Thank you guys. Have a good one. - Thank you. - Bye-bye. - Thank you to our guest Logan from Trader's new blood. We'll see you back tomorrow for a jam-packed episode. Bye-bye. (upbeat music)

FAQs
Natalie Joy bought Nick a vintage Packers t-shirt as a joke, knowing he's a big fan. The shirt has a note saying 'Euro money' and references his birthday on September 28th, which matches the date of the 1993 Madonna Paris tour. The gag was designed to surprise him, and he later admitted he hates vintage one-of-a-kind t-shirts.
Victoria bought Jimmy an oven mitt because Nick’s existing ones had holes. Jimmy explained he got burned once while using them, which prompted the need for new mitts. The gift was a lighthearted joke, with the story emphasizing how old kitchen tools can become a source of humor.
Natalie reveals that Jimmy’s love language is showing affection through small, thoughtful gestures like giving him socks—especially from good brands like Williams Sonoma. She notes he doesn't express love through grand gestures but through practical, everyday items.
They celebrate Halloween with non-scary decor like cats in witch hats and dogs with broomsticks. They avoid trick-or-treating and only leave decorations out for a short time before switching to Christmas decor. The focus is on family-friendly, festive elements.
Microneedling is a skincare treatment where tiny punctures create skin cell regrowth, resulting in smoother, younger-looking skin. Victoria got it to improve her appearance and reduce the look of fine lines, and she notes it’s science-based and takes just one day of recovery.
They discussed how some men in dating send multiple photos to test a person’s reaction, which can be a sign of interest. Jimmy emphasized that a good partner should be able to handle teasing and humor, and that not being able to handle it could be a red flag for compatibility.
