Hello everyone, welcome back to Tea with publicity. Feels good to be back. I know it's only been a week, but it feels like a lifetime.

Hey Mackenzie, what's going on? Nothing much, how are you? Good. I had a crazy weekend. Oh, um, I saw it. You were hanging out with all the TikTokers. I was. And I want to catch you guys up on that. Let me, let me set the stage. So I'm going to catch you up on my crazy weekend.

Talk a little bit about dating. Then we will jump into an interview with Mackenzie Dipman from Love Island, US Season 2. You guys know I Stan Love Island. Like I'm obsessed. So it was amazing talking with her. I tried to get the tea. I'm like Carl Radke. Why can I say Carl? I say Carl. Carl. Carl. Yeah, I think it's a weird thing. I get the tea on Carl. Carl.

Um, and Connor. And we get into it. And then we're going to do the Escalista segment where I do my best to give you guys some advice with Mackenzie's help. And then we'll spill the tea as always.

There's so much to talk about from my crazy weekend to Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck to Megan Fox fighting with Lala and Randall. There's, there's so much so stay tuned for the entire episode because I feel like it's going to be a juicy one.

Um, okay, so I got a DM last week from a casting producer. Really? Which like happens. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And she was like, Hey, like we're casting for a dating show. It's unlike any other. Are you interested? Oh my God. So with no other details. No other details. This is the thing. Never say never. So you always have to just like look into things. Oh, yeah. So I was like, I don't know. Like maybe. Look, I don't really want to go on a dating show, but like maybe.

Maybe. And so then I click the link in her profile because it's like now casting and the casting listing comes up. And it's like Renaissance dating show. No, prove that shivalry is not said. Our singles will be competing through archery contest.

Horseback riding. Oh my God. It's a full blown Renaissance dating competition show. And I emailed her back. I DMed her back and I go, Hey, I'm sorry. Like I read the description. And I'm kindly going to need to like bow out.

Yeah, I was like, you think I'm going to shoot a bow in an arrow. Yeah, trust like a Renaissance. That's so funny. That would be like funny for the story. But yeah, I think it's like Bridgerton themed.

Oh, okay. That makes sense. Yeah. I think since that like popped off. Yeah. Yeah. They were like, ooh, Bridgerton. Everyone loves this. We should do that. Yeah. But it's like, I'm sorry. I don't need to know if a man could start like a fire in the woods. Yeah. Like that's not practical anymore.

I think I think they just need new ideas for reality. Exactly. There's everything already exists. It's like, can you hang my TV for me? Could you mount it? Because I don't really need you in the woods like starting a fire. Exactly. Yeah.

It's not modern anymore. We don't need that. Yeah, like I don't need to go back in time. I need a modern man. Yeah, we don't need like shivalry.

No, it's like hold the door for me and I'll be happy. Yeah, exactly. So okay. So I went out Thursday at our store. Like we all kind of work from home Fridays.

We have summer Fridays anyway. So I went out Thursday with the intention of working from home Friday.

And it was a good thing I did guys because your girl drank her body weight in tequila. Amazing.

Okay. So I met my friend Lewis and Katie for dinner and my friend Rod and his friend Jacqueline were coming to meet us.

But Rod's like Rod, who was on the podcast guys, his like for whatever reason, his Google calendar, since he's from Chicago, the time difference.

It's a transfer. Yeah. So he was just late everywhere all week. He's like, I'm getting so confused.

He didn't like put two and two together. It's just like everything synced wrong. Yeah. So Rod's an hour late for dinner. We're like, is this motherfucker standing us up? Right.
