Legal team, we are so excited to have our very first interview with a victim in one of the cases we have covered extensively. Former Bachelor Clayton Echard joins us to talk in-depth about how one night with Laura Owens spiraled into a legal nightmare, stemming from a faked pregnancy.Throughout this whole process, Clayton has remained honest to what transpired between him and Laura, and we acknowledge the smart decisions he’s made around how to take on Laura and her manipulation tactics. We appreciate his openness with us, and shoutout to the community of people supporting him who have monumentally helped Clayton get the truth out there.

    So, like I shared before, I'm starting my conception journey, fingers crossed there. But that's all to say that I don't know a lot about raising an infant, the whole shebang. But the one thing I do know, and I've known for a while, is that Nanit is top tier. You need a Nanit when you have an infant. I texted my friend about Nanit saying, "Hey, they're one of the podcast sponsors. I know you use it. What do you think?" And she said she's absolutely obsessed, like she couldn't have done it without her Nanit. And I get it. I get why. Nanit really does it all. You only need one thing, which is nice, especially when you're raising a kid. There's so many things on your brain. It's nice to just have one thing that does it all. The Nanit smart baby monitor system tracks everything automatically with crystal clear HD video, breathing and motion monitoring, sleep tracking, real-time safety alerts, and personalized sleep insights in one seamless system. I mean, I have a smart ring, so why wouldn't I get a Nanit to do the same for my hypothetical future baby? [laughs] The Nanit smart baby monitor system, including the new eight-inch home display, is now 20% off for Mother's Day. Yes, PSA, Mother's Day is coming up, so use code Bravo at checkout to get the 20% off plus a free travel case. Expecting listeners, add Nanit to your registry. And if you have friends who are expecting or new parents, buy Nanit for them. They'll be so grateful. You can find Nanit basically everywhere, nanit.com, Babylist, and Amazon. Add it to your registry, and if you have expecting friends, buy it off
