Hey guys, welcome or welcome back to the podcast. I'm your friend Maddie and I'm joined with a very

special guest today. Do you want to introduce yourself, friend of the podcast? Hello everybody. I'm

Aiden Maddie's wonderful boyfriend. Yeah, actually I feel like you haven't been on the podcast in a long

time. Have you been on since you did the episode with me about this shoot? No, it's been a, it's been a long

time. I have not. Yeah, things have changed since then, for sure. We actually tried to record an

episode one time about guys. Remember it was like guys' opinions on girls and like, I think you were

answering our audience's questions about guys, but I had strapped throat and I was unwell.

So it didn't make the make the cut. We like couldn't even finish that episode. We were so dead.

That's true. Yeah. Well, I'm happy to be back on. Yeah, thanks for coming. So let's start off

with a little life update because this is what we

usually do on the show, but Lauren's not here. So why don't you start off? What have you been up to

recently? Any upcoming, exciting things? We can talk about our trip. I think I mentioned it on last week's

episode, but we're going to Tennessee tomorrow. Yeah, life has been great. I just graduated USC film school, so I'm very happy about

that. Besides that, what has been going on for me? Just working, trying to, you know, better myself and

stuff, working out, eating healthy, making sure that life is in good balance. Yeah, we have a great trip

coming up to Tennessee. We're going to visit my grandfather. He has a ranch out there, and he does a big Christmas party up to Tennessee. We're going to visit my grandfather.

He has a ranch out there, and he does a big Christmas party tradition every year that we go to.

So it should be quite the adventure, I think.

So if you were going to tell me what it's like there, because I've never been to Tennessee,

what would your description of it be? Or like, what's the town like and what's the

vibes of the place, everything? The thing is, is that it's, it's harder for me to explain it because

for a little bit of, just to preface this, my grandfather used to own a big manner that he built.
