Hillary has had a major growth moment recently and it's amazing to hear. We also finally hear why she's NEVER had a boyfriend. Don't worry, we have a plan for that. *wink wink*

Lulu & Lala are twin sisters who host a radio show in NYC. They're also contestants on "The Amazing Race" this season. This episode is a lot of insight into what it's like being part of a competition show, as well as Latinas in the entertainment industry.

E. White is a radio personality in the Twin Cities! This is the first time him and I have actually talked, other than on social media and the episode gets pretty real. He's got a great insight into mental health and radio life. Get ready for a super open and honest convo.

This week's co-host is Zac! He's the Executive Producer and co-host with Ricki on the Woody & Jim Show in Nashville. You've probably seen him on her Instagram stories. Get to know Zac with a round of random questions before him and Ricki get into his goal of being on reality TV and how he handles working with different (sometimes big) personalities in radio. Note: There's still some distortion going on with the mics. Working on a solution, but thank you for sticking with it!!

There will not be a guest co-host this week, due to scheduling. It's Ricki on her own just updating you on her weekend at home, where her head is at, the fact the holidays are coming up far too fast, and some tips on places to visit/things to do in Nashville.

Anthony is on this episode of 20SDN to chat about the differences between a Bachelor and Bachelorette party, the pros and cons of running your own business, and what it's like to date in the public eye.
