What's going on everybody. Welcome back to another exciting episode of the VAL Files reality recap edition. I am your host Nick and

joined by my wife who is fixing my mic cover. I've already given her the ick twice this morning.

It made me think of I got some women icks for you out later this episode. Oh, why later? Just

give them to them right now. Women nicks. I, I'm gonna wait. Oh, I'm gonna wait. Okay. Because I was reminded of icks that I have when it comes to the ladies by watching Bachelor in Paradise and Real Housewives of O.C. But we have a jam-packed episode lined up for you. The iconic Monica Garcia will be joining us momentarily. Talk a little

Love Island. A lot of stuff going down on the internet. People are unfollowing. Relationships seem to be

dropping like flies. Obviously, many of you probably watched a Love Island reunion last night.

We are recording this Monday morning. Haven't had a chance to watch it yet. So we will dive deep into the reunion on Thursday's episode of Reality Recap. We got some exciting guests for you lined up. It's going to be a jam-packed episode. It's going to be a ton of fun. Maybe it's all just a ruse. Maybe they're all in it together. I don't know. Maybe they're just like, I'm tired of seeing like your content. You know, maybe they're like, I love you and you're my boyfriend, but like you're kind of, your stuff's a little weak and I don't really feel like seeing it. Maybe it's just the easiest way to keep get people to keep talking about them. It's weird timing considering this all happened right before the reunion was about to drop. I wonder what created all this,

you know, sassiness, this messiness from the cast. I don't know. But if you guys watch at home,

we are currently in our satellite studio, as we like to call it, sitting on some new chairs,

only because the chairs that we were sitting on, we are shipping to the lake house to be part of

our living room because they are very nice, fancy chairs and there's almost like too nice

for like a studio, which is exciting because that means the lakehouse is almost done.

We are weeks away, people, from being in my most exciting place I could possibly be in. We can't wait to show you. I don't, we're not, just a heads up. We're probably not gonna show you like right away. Well, we're not gonna have like all the furniture right away, you know. I don't know, we're just super excited. I can't wait. It's, uh, it's been a long, long process. Not that long, really. I mean, like, nine months.

I'm excited for Nick to see all the things that, like, I did that, like, I just didn't fill

him in on, you know?

Yes, of course.

Like all the little details that, like, I did.

Well, we're very lucky because my parents, as you, many of you know, live up on the lake.

Nellie and I have not been to the lake since Christmas, and then we

started the essentially rebuild. Remodel ended up being just a total rebuild right after.

So we haven't been up there at all. Shout out to mom and dad because they've been, you know,

handling the project from like, you know ground zero so to speak living in an
