What's up everybody? This is a little Samaroso, aka publicity. Who is ready to spill some tea?

Because this is...

Tea with publicity.

What's up everybody? Welcome back to Tea with publicity. We are in studio today in LA. We're going to be recording in here moving forward. I'm so happy to be back.

I always forget how much joy this little space brings me and I don't know why I don't work up here more. I just love it. It's just good vibes.

It just feels like cozy and homey and we are in the process of really working on a lot here because the tea with publicity slash publicity brand extension is underway and I'm trying to figure out

like where to store stuff because I think I've mentioned it's going to be a physical product and we're just every day on the phone with lawyers and designers and

it's been really crazy. So that is underway just as a reminder to these episodes is sponsored by Macy's and every other episode and it's also Pride Month. So you could join Macy's and the Trevor Project to give a lifeline of support to LGBTQ young people now during Pride Month.

Donate online today or round up your Macy store purchase and donate the extra charge up to 99 cents to the Trevor Project. You'll be supporting life saving suicide prevention services for LGBTQ young people and you could just do it by going to Macy's dot com slash purchase.

If you want to look more into the details, everything's there. Again, I love that Macy's every single time something big and important is happening. They're there celebrating it. So I hope that if you make a Macy's purchase this month, you choose to round up and donate to the Trevor Project.

For today's episode, which is going to be a good one, I actually was talking to a newer friend here that I met in LA, her name's Hannah and she was telling me all about this thing that she heard about hinge and what you could do to hack the hinge algorithm, which we all know sucks.

And I was like, wait, could you voice me that? Like, I want to quote you on it. And she was like, don't quote me because I didn't come up with it. But here's the girl.

So we have the girl joining us that quoted and came up with this way to break the hinge algorithm. And she's also someone that on TikTok goes through, here's what you should put on your profile. Here's what you should input. These are the kind of pictures.

These are the kind of things. Whatever it is. And Lord knows I need all the help because I think I accidentally did this thing where when I first moved to LA, this is like really mean not mean, but like superficial.

I was like, I kind of want to go on a date with like a really ugly guy to take the pressure off like ugly in the eyes of like maybe not someone I'm initially attracted to.

I was like, I kind of want to like go out with someone that's not my usual type. So there's like no pressure. And I don't feel like any type of way in doing that.

I think the algorithm thinks I'm into people. I'm not. So that is my big issue. So I need to figure out how to get the algorithm to show me people I'm interested in.

Because when I came here, like I've never dated like a burly man in my life, I was just like in everyone with a beard. Like I don't know what got into me, not that I dislike a beard, but my point is like I was so specifically liking this one type of person that now that's all I get. And I'm like,

there's got to be other people out here. So hopefully she'll help us figure out how to revamp our profiles and fix it because I definitely think my algorithms broken. And I need all the help I could get.

Although I do believe he's coming because if you guys heard the episode last week with the astrologer, she basically said she thinks they moved here for romance, which is so funny because I never wanted that to be the primary reason why I moved. But the universe had other plans, I guess.

Also, yeah, on top of that, I have just been I'm finally in LA for the next month and a half, not even a month and a half like month and a week without traveling, which is really great because I can get into a routine and a rhythm, which I've desperately been craving and then starting July until the middle of August. I'm like out of here.

So this month we're going to be doing a lot of podcasts. We have a lot of great guests coming on and I'm just going to try to get all my content done for you guys and up and running and then I'm going to have to try to figure out how to work while I'm on the road because we're still launching this brand and I set a timeline for it. And I'm going to be away a lot. So there's a lot happening over here, but all things I'm really grateful for or all things I'm really excited for.
