You guys welcome to another episode of nostalgia and now my guest needs zero introduction. I just

0:22.3

get to say one of my favorite quotes from Laguna Beach. Talon's here. Hi, Kelly. I am super

0:28.1

excited to be here. I am just, I feel like we've been friends for a long time. I feel like we

0:34.6

deserve to meet each other and have coffee or lunch or something.

0:38.1

I agree. I got to get to Nebraska.

0:40.4

No, I'll come to you.

0:41.7

Where you live is probably cooler than what I.

0:45.1

Well, I'm very excited for our future coffee date.

0:48.3

But yeah, last time we talked, it was during the COVID shutdown, the middle of the pandemic.

0:54.0

I mean, I think you only had your son at the time. Now you have two more children. I mean, what's life for talent like right now? You know, it's been crazy. I have three children. So I have an eight-year-old son. I have a five-year-old girl and I have a two-year-old boy. And I think what's been the most challenging is that I have two boys that

But I'm telling you right now, like, I can't wait until my two-year-old starts, you know, going to the bathroom on the toilet by himself and wiping his butt and sleeping in his own bed. Like, I'm ready for the next phase here, you know? Definitely. And you're also a TikTok star now. So congratulations. What made you decide to get into TikTok?

2:03.1

You know, I think I, that's a really, it's funny. Even like the cast members call me TikTok talent.

2:08.4

That's kind of like they call me. Triple T. Even like Roku, like on the call sheet, it was just like TikTok talent. Like they didn't even refer to me as talent. And I think like

2:18.0

what happened was is like, so I make advertisements. Like my job technically is I do direct

2:22.9

response advertising. So that's a fancier way of saying that I make ads for brands like

2:28.3
