>> Well, you >> Oh, am I allowed to, Jackie? Am I okay?
>> What are you allowed to What?
>> Yeah, I'm good. I'm good. I just >> You're allowed to say I think that's You want to know something? I think I think the fact that you mentioned that you have been from the time you've gotten on the air. I think we knew you before your show uh for on Tik Tok was originally.
Is that where is that where you started?
>> Yes.
>> Is that how they found you? TLC?
>> Yes.
>> So, and how long were you on Tik Tok?
>> You're still on Tik Tok?
>> No. Before they like What year did you get on Tik Tok?
>> I got on Tik Tok probably in 2022.
What was the impetus for wanting to go on Tik Tok?
>> So, I originally never downloaded Tik Tok on my phone. I never had it. Like when all the dances went viral and things like that just I was just like I'm sick to Instagram. I'm fine. I don't really want to make any videos. Um, and then I started making like just casual fun videos. And then I realized I went to um a Marshalls and one of the girls I went to school with was like following me around the store and like recording me after CO happened. And like I don't know what she did with the videos, but obviously before CO I was a little bit different. My ticks weren't as bad as they turned into be. So, I went on social media after that video came about and I basically just put my foot forward and told my story from my perspective.
Like, obviously I look a little bit different, act a little bit different from when you first knew me from high school, but this is my story to tell.
It's not your story to tell. So, I went on social media and I just like was so done hiding who god damn who I was. Um, so I took >> which was an incredibly brave wonderful move. I'm a I'm a proponent of that. You know, I have OCD.
>> I'm bald. Sorry.
>> I And I'm I've been I've been um a proponent of mental health awareness and removing stigmas from any type of humanity. I think we're all different.
So, I'm I'm fascinated by people who put that foot forward as you as you say, but then to take the leap and say, "Okay, we want to make a whole television show."
It was definitely um a risk that we were willing to take just because in the world that we live in today, there's not much awareness. There's not much shows in Hollywood. There's not many things advocating for Tourette's in in Hollywood ways. And I wanted to bring my platform to a different light and spread more awareness that I probably wouldn't be able to reach through social media.
And the whole reason why I started social media, the whole reason why I started the show, suck dick, is to spread awareness about Tourette's syndrome for the next generation of people to be that voice for kids or families or children or anybody out there that doesn't feel like they have one.
>> Isn't it kind of scary though because when you're going on TikTok, you have a say of what you're putting out there.
Like you know what you want to upload, what you want to say, who you want to respond to, who you want to block. You don't really have the same thing when you are putting out on TV. There's editors. You don't have final. Well, I don't know how your deal went. Maybe you do have final say in what they can air, what they could film. So, I would think that would be a lot scarier to give control.
>> I do not.
>> No, >> I don't get to watch any of the episodes before they come out. There is definitely um definitely what you're saying is very true. It's very scary, especially going from like being a woman in society and being judged off of weight and your hair and your skin tone and you're not wearing enough makeup and like you're not tall enough or you're not pretty enough or you don't fit in enough. It's definitely difficult having cameras on you 24/7 and being like, "Are you going to get my bad side? Are you going to get my stomach rolls? Are you going to get like my leg hair? Like, what are you going to like?" There's been times where I've been like, "Can you not film me at this angle?" And they don't. But it's just personal preference that like I realize in my heart and in my head that this is bigger than me and this is bigger than anything else going on. Like this is something that I felt like I was called to do and I'm going to be as vulnerable as possible to help anybody regardless of if you have Tourett or if you have OCD. I have OCD as well. Um I also have bipolar. Um, I have a lot of conditions and to bring light to any of them is just truly all that I want to do.
>> Not only bringing light, removing the stigma, I think people who have these things and you kind of alluded to that before you did TikTok is you were kind of hiding like did people in high school not know.
>> So when I was in high school, um, my ticks were very very mild. I didn't really know what was going on. I had like a throat clearing. It kind of was like like or something like that. I can't really remember, but it was a throat clearing tick and I moved my head a lot. My neck jerked, but I would probably say that I only ticked 10 times a day before CO happened. Like it was very, very minimal. A lot of my friends didn't know what was going on. There was a time where I went to my group of friends. I was like, "Yeah, I'm going to see a cardiologist because they think it's my throat closing and like things like that." Turns out it's Tourette's syndrome. I have Tourette's syndrome.
Stupid. But before COVID happened, I did have Tourette's syndrome. And then when COVID did happen, my Tourette's syndrome got so bad to the point where all of my doctors took my diagnosis away. And he's like, "I have no idea what you have, but you don't belong in society. You don't belong in college. You don't you shouldn't get a job. You shouldn't work. You shouldn't drive." Like, >> who's saying that?
>> My doctor, my neurologist told me to My mom's here. She they literally looked at my mom and said she will do nothing.
That's literally what they told her.
>> What kind of doctor is this?
>> So he was a neurologist but >> was he should be was >> Yeah. And is and he didn't specialize in in movement disorders and we found that out after he undiagnosed me. He basically was like I can't even see you as a patient anymore because I don't even specialize in Tourette's. And we're like well why didn't you tell us this at the beginning? And he's like well you never asked. And we're like, dude, like we're here to get help and you're not helping us. So, >> wow. That's >> I feel like there's a lot of doctors like that. I know. I know.
>> Name them.
>> So, everyone knows not to go.
>> No.
>> You'd be helping a lot of people who are sitting there trying to figure themselves out. Maybe they're his patients.

>> Well, I know there's even like autism diagnosis. There'll be doctors that be like, "Oh, you have this level. they're never going to be able to do anything.
Your child's never going to walk.
They're never going to talk. They're never going to live on their own. And they just like diminish all the hope that the parents may have or putting them in therapy or something. There's a lot of doctors that give a diagnosis and a prognosis for what the future might look like. And I feel like that's just wrong. I looked at my mom on the way home and I said, "Mom, you need to pull over." And I looked at her, I said, tears blowing in my face. I said, "I'm going to college. I don't care if I fail. I don't care if I drop out. I don't care what I do. I'm going just to say to myself that I can do things that you told me I can't do because I'm not the type of person where you're going to sit there and tell me, "Oh, you can't do that because you have Tourette's. Watch me because I'll prove you wrong in a matter of 5 seconds."
>> But he didn't even know it was Tourette's. He wasn't diagnosing it. He took it away.
>> He diagnosed me with Tourette's and then saw how bad it got and he's like, "This is not Tourette's." And then we went to the Mayo Clinic, I think 5 months later, and she was like, "I see thousands of patients. I see thousands of people like you. Wind it up. Oh god. And this is 100% Tourette's syndrome. Like everything down to a tea was Tourett Tourett Tourett.
>> That says something about you because a lot of people could hear that diagnosis and just give up. And the fact that you're like that's not going to be me and I'm going to college and I'm going to prove him wrong says something about you and who you are as a person which is incredible.
>> You're a hero. H how so >> have you had a chance to say to him or her? I don't know if it was a male doctor.
>> It was a male doctor.
>> Have you had a chance to say told you so?
>> I haven't. I haven't.
>> Okay. Chelsea Handler.
>> It's always the male doctor.
>> You did have a chance to >> No, but I just He doesn't really bother me anymore. He He really doesn't. He did what he needed to do.
>> No, he didn't.
>> And prove to me that I can take what he said >> and he can shove it up his ass like respectfully. Like >> shove it up his ass should never be followed by respectfully.
>> Very true.
>> You can't shove anything up your ass with respect.
>> Um >> it's not true. Maybe you can. Some people can.
>> It's my daughter. This is my daughter.
This is just so uncomfortable right now.
Don't >> I never have but I'm sure >> I don't want to know I don't want to have this discussion and we have a guest here and this is not a fatherdaughter discussion.
>> Okay.
>> Okay. Uh now I now you threw my you uh um >> penis. How is your family with being recorded and being in um like social media and on the show >> cuz social media or media is so can I swear [ __ ] mean. It is so [ __ ] mean.
>> [ __ ] mean. It is so horrible.
>> Social media I definitely say is difficult for my family to handle.
Definitely going into the show, there was a lot of concerns just about um being on TV and showing our life and having all of those comments and all of those opinions come our way. Um but I'd say the person that has the hardest time with it is my sister. My sister struggles with it a lot. She goes to Reddit. She will be looking at digging for it.
>> Yeah. Which she also has severe OCD as well. So like she'll go through and try to find the negative comments to like help her thoughts.
>> And there's no Well, she has OCD, so there's no stopping her.
>> No.
>> Do you turn your comments on off on your social media?
>> I do not turn my comments off, but I also don't look at them. I try my hardest to not be absorbed in the comments because as soon as I'm absorbed then I'm worried about oh like for example I posted a I posted a video that was like should I dye my hair brown and everyone was like yes you look washed out and I was like okay delete like I'm deleting this like okay that's rude but at the end of the day like >> I love that you're going to the public to find out what you should do with your hair.
>> I never have [ __ ] Um, how about your husband? Does he care? I've seen I'm only asking because I've seen a few videos where now that your life is out there, mostly on the television show, there's a lot of people that have opinions on your guys' relationship and um how he treats you or which I'm not saying is wrong or bad, but a lot of people will have opinions about that.
Does he get bothered by those opinions?
I think at the beginning he got bothered by the opinions. He would always comment and I'd always have to tell him like this is just you can't give in to these people. Like their opinions really don't matter at the end of the day. Mine does.
You go to bed with me and you have to be okay with what I think and what I'm okay with and you have to be okay with what you think and what you're okay with. And we just have to be on the same page. But at the end of the day, there's always going to be somebody with a with an opinion regardless of if you want it or if you don't want it or if you asked for it or if you didn't. And it's just coming to a conclusion with yourself.
And are you okay with not being okay with that opinion?
>> Did you meet him before the show?
>> Yes, I did. Five months before the show.
>> You were already an item.
>> Yes.
>> So, it was like we got dating. I was living at my parents house at the time.
And then I moved into DC and I started um uh I didn't move into DC. I moved in with him. I lived with him for a little bit. Not like, oh, I moved all my stuff there, but like it was immediately like we got together. He came to my parents house every weekend and then I'd be like, you know, I kind of want to come stay with you in DC. So, it was just kind of like that and then immediately the show happened. So, it was it's always been like social media and like TV presence he's always really been a part of.
>> Right. But from the time uh your show premiered on TLC till now, your life as well as you were doing on Tik Tok and Instagram, I think that your life changed dramatically from the series.
No.
>> Yes, it did. In a good way, though. I I'm told thousands upon thousands of stories of the ways that I've changed other people's lives, and I'm not really able to get that unless I meet people.
So, like I was at a football game at the Commander game um in Washington DC and some girl came up to me and she's like, "I just got to tell you like my son is alive today because of you. Like he struggles with Tourette's so bad. He's have such bad depression. He's 15 years old. Like you just saved his life and I just have to say thank you." Like I was in a Chipotle one day and this guy came up and he's like, "Me and my wife, my wife works with special needs kids and I'm a behavioral therapist." And I just have to say for 10 years we've been waiting for a show to come out like this. So when I hear those things, it just makes me feel like, okay, I'm doing something that I need to be doing.
>> I get it. People will come up to me from time to time and say, I know another adorable older man, and you have given us such >> strength in being able to just >> They say that about your OCD.
>> No, >> no. About just being it's tough that you're adorable that I'm adorable and I'm older.
>> People can relate.
>> No, but they they they just come to me and they say I represent. Call me a cinnamon roll, >> right? They don't.
>> I've never heard it. Maybe.
>> I think I hear it. I like to hear it.
>> I like to hear >> I've heard I've heard people say that you're a sex symbol.
A bunch of people will come up to him all the time and say he's a sex symbol.
>> What does that mean?
>> Go ahead. My daughter.
>> Look at him.
>> Go ahead. This is what you want to hear from your daughter. Explain to Balin why I'm a sex symbol.
>> No, I don't know. I don't see it, but people all the time.
>> Not me. Not me. I don't see it. But all the time people will come up to him all the time.
>> I'm sure your your mother can explain it to you.
>> Yeah.
>> Is your mother Is your mother there?
>> Have her come to the mic. Have your mother come to the mic. I love her.
>> Your parents approve of your husband.
>> Where's your mother? Right there.
Explain to your daughter right now. She can hear you. Explain to your daughter what this means, why this is considered.
>> Why is he a sex symbol? Do you Do you see him as a sex symbol?
>> Oh my gosh, that's a loaded question.
>> No, just the truth.
>> Um, I don't know. like a sex symbol, isn't it? More like like an icon of somebody like complete sexiness, right?
So, um >> So, it's not that.
>> Wait, hold on. So, I'm getting myself in a pickle here.
>> Are you calling me a pickle?
>> Um, >> no. No.
>> I wouldn't say that you're not a sex symbol.
>> Oh, >> but you won't just clearly go, Balin.
Look, if you don't know what a sex symbol is, look at it.
>> She's young. A lot of people don't know.
>> How old are you?
>> 23. She's old enough to know.
>> Yeah, she she should know >> that you're a sexual mom.
>> She left. Mom left the room.
>> He was actually offered um People's Sexiest Man a couple times and he turned it down.
>> Really?

>> Well, no, that is that's it was it was just the only thing I had control over.
Like my wedding planner had control over everything else. Like I let her knew let her know what color scheme I wanted and like that's pretty much it. and she took the reinss on it and did everything.
>> What was your color scheme?
>> It was yellow, blue.
>> Stick with me.
>> It's a rainbow. I had five I had five colorful dresses and two floral dresses.
So, all my bridesmaids were in different colors.

>> I do somewhere.
>> Is the penguin in there?
>> Yes.
>> He dressed as a penguin and then he came out with a rock because penguins mate for life and he and when a male penguin meets a female penguin they like, they kick a rock to them. And if the female penguin accepts it, that means they're mated for life.
>> So, he brought out a rock and had my husband kick a rock over to me and I accepted it.
>> Oh, that's so cute.
>> Yeah. And then, uh, on my other daughter's wedding, he dressed as a turtle because if the male turtle when a male turtle, he brought out a little piece of turtle [ __ ] When a male turtle shits uh shits, if a female turtle, the one female turtle that can't smells and stay in the area that she's willing to come out of her shell for him.

>> Nope, you cannot. And that's why you find out stuff that airs that you probably didn't know beforehand. But it also helps to like what we've learned from the last two seasons is anything that airs any time that we have a conversation or something was said, we call the other person. and we let them know and we like kind of like let them know, oh, this conversation was had or like, oh, this was said just so you're aware that it'll probably be used in the future.

So she uh her and her husband went off to the uh bridal suite and within an hour my uh son-in-law and there I am again. And my son-in-law called me.
>> Twist can call me a cinnamon roll >> and called me and said, "You got to come in." And as a father, you don't want to go to the bridal suite after they go up to the bridal suite. He goes, "You got to. There's your daughter is." And then I found her in the bridal suite vomiting cuz she had over she drank.
>> Mhm.
>> Uh and uh and it was one of those Japanese toilets that kept coming down on on her head and it made for a great tape for ridiculousness. Not a great wedding night.
>> You didn't have to record it. Anything weird happened on your wedding night that we're not going to see on the show or that we're going to see on the show?
>> Um, >> did you wear the crown to bed?
>> No, I wish I did though. I loved that crown. My like $15 Amazon crown.

>> It was great.
>> It was a $15 Amazon crown. We'll put up a picture when we when we air it, but that you looked beautiful. You really did. You look like a princess.
>> And uh did did you get mad? Like I always hear, and I don't know this, that other people show up wearing white. And if somebody did show up wearing white, would you have been angry?
>> Yes.
>> Um, don't lie.
>> I've had people send me dresses and be like, "Is this appropriate to wear?" And the whole dress is white. And I'm like, "If you need to send it to me to ask me if you can wear the white dress, you probably shouldn't wear the white dress."
>> For your wedding, people were doing that. Is that Is that on camera?
>> No. Did you on Tik Tok did you have your viewers pick your dress like help you pick your dress or did you not do that?
>> No, I got I've seen >> a lot of people do that.
>> I got my dress handdesigned by Haley Paige custom to me.
>> Oh, like >> is Haley Paige a well-known person?
>> She she was she works in Kleinfield Kleinfield in New York City. Like her dresses are in like Say Yes to the Dress.
>> Oh, really? Haley Page. Hit that. I want to know what Haley Page is. I don't know what Haley Page is.
>> My dad loves Google. I love Google.
I love Google because I know nothing.
Two things I like is googling and listening to Sunny in the Blackpack because it's like Wikipedia.
>> Remember your whole life was right there. He was singing to you about your life and your >> history. I just wonder how much you want to involve >> Yeah.
>> Oh, wow.
>> your followers in your life and in your decision- making because they've become such a huge part of your life. You post all the time. You're always talking to them. I wonder how much they have a say in what you do. You said you even asked if you if that >> Haley the blonde >> dye your hair.
>> So, I ask for like some advice or like some things like that, but I try not to allow it to be like overpowered because I want to make sure that I'm okay with the decision that I make >> instead of someone else's decision.
>> Um, >> so I allow for opinions, but if I also don't like those opinions, I don't follow through with that.
>> But it's good to get in input. I like that. Do you think it's too late to put my daughter up for adoption?
>> I'll look in the in the comments.
>> I'll look in the comments.
>> No, you listen. You get their input. I don't have to listen.
>> Yeah.
>> But she gets she People on this podcast, they comment negatively on her sometimes >> because she has a she has a resting [ __ ] face.
>> Honestly, >> resting [ __ ] faces are better than happy faces sometimes.
>> I agree.
>> I think they only say that to women, too. I don't think any man gets accused of having a resting [ __ ] face.
>> And if they do, you can't know. You never tell if you're if they're the type of guy with a resting [ __ ] face if they're going to punch you or if they're going to kiss you. You never really know.
>> You don't know.
>> No.
>> I think a lot of guys like to rest on a bitch's face.
>> Oh my god.
>> Is that too too inappropriate? Jackie, can I get a thumbs up?
>> This is great for TLC.
>> TLC the learning channel.
>> It is the learning channel. We must learn. You're like the star of the whole channel. I think you're is your show your show rates like huge, right? I mean, it's you're you're a star.
>> Thank you. It doesn't >> Well, don't thank me. Thank yourself.
You're the star. I have nothing to do with it. I just, you know, I'm I'm I'm amazed that you would be here and sit here and grace.
>> Do you feel it walking down the street now? Do you get stopped all the time?
>> Yes, but I I like love running into people. I'm not really like a like a very like social person. and I have really really bad social anxiety. But I feel like when it comes to like meeting people, it's just part of the job. It's part of learning a face to a follower and like a supporter in their story. I love learning about them and their life and why they love me.
>> You know what's great? I do this sometimes. You know, people come up and they'll go, "Can I just can I just give you a hug?" Have you had people say that?
>> So you say, "Okay, and then hug them and don't let go." See how long my record is 22 minutes >> really >> it is and and you just hear the mumbling like is there any way that I I have an appointment I'm supposed to sister is there any way that you can let me >> but it's fun and it also deters other people from doing it >> 22 minutes >> is my record >> okay >> you think you can beat it >> no you should try it later tonight >> but next time you do it you just do it or can I give you a hug and when they hug you. The other thing I do is this is another thing to do when they you go okay and you put your arms out and they hug you and you just hold their head.
>> I would do that. I do that too.
>> Do you do you rub the back of their head with your fingers?
>> Little tickle. Little tickle.
>> Tickle. Little tickle.
>> Little tickle on the top of the ears.
That's a good idea.
>> Comfortable thinking about it.
>> No, but I'll do that. They'll go, I love you on TV and it's so great that you're open and you're talking and everything and I I love you. Can I give you a hug?
And they go, "Go ahead. Go ahead. Hug me. hug me and then you >> you rub your nipples and that you say go ahead rub your nipples I didn't rub my nipples don't talk about I didn't rub my nipples >> she makes everything like [ __ ] >> right you make everything negative >> that's not negative to rub your [ __ ] or your >> MAYBE THAT IS [ __ ] HAPPENS.
>> BEST COMMENT ALL DAY.
>> What did you do? Uh, four, and I don't want to give away too much, but people have already by the time this aired, the first one aired. Is the first one the wedding or getting ready for the wedding? The first episode. What What was it?
>> So, the last episodes are the wedding and then the first episode is our bachelor bachelorette party. We did a joint one. We went to Asheville. What is Asheville?
>> Asheville, North Carolina.
>> I I know it's a place, but what what's there? Why there? That seems obscure.
>> It was like the >> TLC head offices.
>> No, we looked we looked into like Nashville. We looked into all these other places, but a lot of my friends were traveling out of state and Nashville was like $7,000 for an Airbnb.
That was not going to work for any of my friends. Um, >> what is what is in Asheville? I don't know anything about Asheville. My Put up Asheville. I want to see anything.
>> You travel everywhere.
>> Yeah, but I don't know where that is. I don't I know it's North Carolina, but I don't know. It's not It's It doesn't seem like the main Do you have family there? Is that why?
>> No, it was like one of the So, it was one of Colin's friends has went there before for his Bachelor Bachelorette trip and loved it. Um, >> but it was kind of like a >> like going to Target. It's like a happy medium from like where we lived and where all my friends were. So, it was kind of like >> looks beautiful this time >> in our eyes the biggest um the best um middle ground for everybody because we did want to travel. We did want to like go somewhere and experience our bachelor bachelorette trip and have a good time.
Um Oh, they have this. We orig We never saw any of that. We just We just went to bars.
>> We didn't have a good night life.
>> Oh, look at this.
>> It has like a >> We >> No, it doesn't have a good night life.
It's got this. It's got a lot of >> You stop [ __ ] on people where people live, like people cities.
>> I'm not [ __ ] on >> You are.
>> I'm just saying. I bet you it makes for great TV. You know why? because it focused on you and what you guys were doing and your interactions rather than than being uh like uh focusing on what's going on outside. So, if you go to a place where nothing's going on, we're focusing on you.
>> Oh my god, it was great. So, we're sitting there and we're filming and they have all these lights up, like a lot of people don't realize when reality TV comes into play, there's 13 people. It's like a whole crew and they set up lighting and it's like all this other stuff. And so we're sitting there and we're filming and it's outside at like this cabin that had like 12 beds, two hotels, like two hotels, two hot tubs, like a bowling alley, like all this other stuff was there.
>> 12 beds, a bowling alley, and two hot tubs.
>> Two hot tubs. Like it had everything. It was great. And then one of the neighbors came over and was like, >> it's like the two seasons.
>> The the neighbor came over and was like, "All of these lights are distracting nature. You need to turn them down >> because there's light pollution.
>> Oh, you me my uh liberal daughter.
>> No, light pollution is a real thing. We have it in LA, too, where you can't see.
>> Okay, whatever.
>> Oh, I had no idea. I just thought she was being silly. I had no idea.
>> She was being silly.
>> No, >> I agree.
>> Did you do the typical >> Did that make Did that make the TV show where people are complaining about the the Did that >> No, because they went up to production.
And if they would have went up to us, it would have been filmed. But they went up to production was like, "You need to take all these lights down. You need to take you need to take all the filming stuff down. You need to take everything down." And they were like, "No."

Get your Pure One. Tell them that Howie sent you. What have I been telling everyone? It's here. You can bring it home.
>> My favorite thing is like what also people don't understand is like FS.
They're on the flies and like there's some times where you have to do them like outside.
>> So for for those that don't know, the F is like when you see like you'll see a scene in a reality show and then you'll see you sitting there talking directly to camera.
>> Yeah. like a clip of like an interview.
Like it goes from a scene work to like an interview setting, right?
>> So it's like describing what happened.
>> And where was I going with this? [ __ ] Um >> Ashlin, >> no.
>> I have no idea what I was saying.
>> I know it does. But you know what? What we're going to do, >> we're going to do after this, we're going to do we're going to do an F >> when you remember.
>> When you remember it, I'm going to have you just talk to camera and tell them what you were thinking about and what you're what you were talking about.
We'll insert it into the podcast.
>> Did you Did you do the typical Bachelor Bachelorette thing with strippers? And >> they did it. It was >> No strippers.
>> No strippers.
>> We did >> hookers.
>> No, >> it's not typical. That's just you. It's not typical.
>> We We did a habachi night. So, a habachi person came over and cooked for everybody. Um, which was super fun. I also got to use like the cuz it's really hard for me like the little spoon thing where he flicks the egg into the hat.
It's really hard for me to be around like hot surfaces, so it was like a really big task for me to do. It was super fun. Um, and then the boys all made the girls brunch the next day and then we left.
>> That sounds fun for the bachelor party.
>> We made like I'm just I'm just >> You're not even selling that resting [ __ ] face.
>> I'm just I'm just like we me and my fiance me and my husband are very two different people. He's the yin to my yang. He loves a party. He loves to drink, loves a good time. I'm just like, do you want to make necklaces? Like, >> so would at the party or at the wedding, was he as happy as you? Like he seems like he's much more outgoing. You're conservative. Is that true?
>> What do you mean?
>> Like he that doesn't seem like the kind of party he'd want to be part of >> the wedding?
>> No. Bachelorette. Like would he have wanted to do like a Vegas?
>> No. I was the one that wanted to go to Nashville and he was the one that wanted to go to Asheville. He >> Nashville or Asheville.
>> Mhm. It's a tongue twister. Twist my dick and call me a cinnamon roll.
>> But he's not really much of like a crowd person if that makes sense. So like >> he's not here today.

So, he's exploring job changes and trying to figure that out and a potential move in the future. So, we're just trying to navigate.

Somebody's holding back.
>> Well, I'm just not allowed to talk about it. I'll tell you after.
>> Can we do it in an F?

>> Yeah. What's the clickbait? Jackie, is there something that she's allowed to talk about? Is there something that maybe you told her not to talk about, but in second thought because it's Howie Mandel does stuff and I'm a sex symbol that you would let her mentioned. Well, they're exploring like not only a career change, but maybe a move.

>> Yeah. Is he in town? Is he traveling with you now?
>> No, he's actually not allowed to take any work off because of his job. Cuz he's in the military.
>> They don't get days off at all.
>> He He is, but he's >> a war.
>> He's at a place since since he's going through job changes and trying to figure out getting a new job and transitioning out of the military and things like that.
>> Don't use the word transitioning. People are going to take that wrong.
>> Please stop, Dad.
>> Okay. Sorry.
>> Um, what was what were we talking about?
>> Yeah.
>> I don't know. We'll get it. We'll pick it up in an F.
>> These Howie Mandel here. Now, after decades of judging talent, I've seen what holds an audience. And let's face it, kids books are losing the attention war of videos.
The secret to winning kids back. Putting them center stage with starred in the treasury stars your child in 15 stories with 120 custom illustrations. This is my granddaughter. Look at this picture.
This is me reading her the book. She loves it. All she wants to do is read this book. Make your kid the star at stardin.com and use code howy to save today. Am I cheating? I'm your favorite grandpa now. I tell her I know the people at Stardin. We should have >> Is he not get time off is what I was asking and you said no because he's in a place where he's transitioning out of his job.
>> Yeah. So it's just really hard for him to get any work off right now or else he'd be here.
>> What? Have you had a fight yet since you've been married?
>> Mm- Really? No.
>> But you fight. You had a fight on the show. Oh, my birthday. Oh, I remember that. Over that dumb [ __ ] couch.
>> That was left, guys. It was left on the side of the road. And the guy was like, "Well, I'm just going to leave it here."
And I'm like, "You're not going to leave it here. You need to take it upstairs."
And he's like, "Well, you're going to have to do it." And I was like, "No, I'm not." And he never like Colin just never picked up the phone. So, it was just it was of course a fight leading to happen.
>> That's the only fight you've ever been in with him? No, we've been in like other fights, things like that, but nothing that's like serious, like detrimental, if that makes any sense.
We've gotten to fights, we've gotten into arguments, we've gotten into things like that, but we've definitely learned like that we grow from them. So, >> I've I've been married for 46 years.
>> Really?
>> Yeah.
>> Congratulations.
>> Do you have any words of advice for the newlyweds?
>> Suck dick.
What's your advice?
>> You didn't have to say anything.
>> You didn't give me that advice.
>> MY MOM'S >> MAYBE. You know why? You know why your mom's dying? Because she knows you're right.
And you learn from your mother, >> right? Thumbs up on.
>> Oh, you are adorable. You are beautiful.
I I am from the day I saw you and I think she showed me before there was a show, she showed me you on TikTok and I just thought, "Oh, this kid is just amazing and wonderful and refreshing and important and you everything you said about yourself and why you're doing this and why you're happy to be doing this show rings so true and it's so up my alley as far as you know I'm old. I'm old way older than your parents. I'm in my 70s and from my from my uh perspective any issue that anybody has you know I have a few other mental health issues is is was such a secret and such a an embarrassment and even when I eventually got diagnosed and I wouldn't talk about it and when I accidentally talked about it I was so embarrassed and so devastated and and it I I thought that was the end for me and And somebody who saw me right after I accidentally blurted it out on a on a radio show, the Howard Stern show, um came up to me in the street in Manhattan. This is before the internet, so people weren't commenting and stuff and said, "Me too." to me. And it was so it was so it was like a blanket, a warm blanket around me. So when I see people who are, you know, bucking the system of hiding and being personal and being embarrassed and just showing what humanity is, and you're like the strongest, most beautiful thing around.
And I think that TLC is uh has to be commended for putting this on. They should be very proud of this program.
Has it won awards?
>> Um I just won a Gracie Award. That's what I'm here for. So I'm really excited about that. And then I won another award for a woman's award, but I just can't remember off the top of my head what it was.
>> Yeah, I've won two women's awards. They were just ribbons given to me by women.
>> What? Why?
>> The sex symbol award.
>> I didn't win a sex symbol. She's lying.
>> Is there anything that you want me to plug specifically besides TLC? Do you do live speaking tours?
>> No, I'd love to do that though. I love talking to people. I love sharing and just like >> you're just so open and easy to talk to.
I would think that that would be a real uh kind of uh where you can open up the Q&As's to the audience and you can make a fortune. Mom, you should get her a personal appearance agent.
>> I've been telling her.
>> You're telling her?
>> I've been telling her, >> you know, you should do that.
>> A team of people.
>> Are you with It doesn't take a team of people. Are you with an agency?
>> Are you holding back for any reason that you don't want to do it?
I can't talk about it, >> Jackie.
>> Okay, you don't want to do it. Okay, it doesn't matter. Am I pushing something that I shouldn't?
>> No, no, I just I'll tell you guys later.
I just can't talk about it.
>> It's just personal.
>> One more.
>> One more. We're up to like seven right now. We're gonna be here a long time, >> but we should we'll film some Anyway, you you have you've been wonderful. Uh uh I think that Sunny, do you have another song for her?
>> I do. Yeah.

>> I am amazing.
>> You are a people DM. Some people find him creepy.
>> Sliding some people >> and some people end up in our office.
>> I DM people. I don't slide into DMs.
>> What's the difference? What's the difference?
>> Sliding into DMs. Yeah, >> sliding into DMs is like a dating app or is like is like asking >> Ask her mother. He She knows.
>> All right.
>> What' you think of this podcast so far?
>> It's great. I love you guys. You guys >> Well, we love you. You are adorable. You really are. And and keep up the great work and keep being the hero that you are. And uh if you stick around, he's going to sing the song now. Yep.
