00:01:09.760The Improvised Character Comedy podcast, where each week a new panel of artists discuss their craft.
00:01:15.600Join us for a panel of Eurovision participants.
00:01:18.680And we do a little Halloween sometimes.
00:01:24.500He gets right up next to the microphone.
00:01:26.240I hear you can almost hear the eyelashes hit each other.
00:01:29.140You've never seen Italy so quiet as when the Pope gets up to wink on Halloween.
00:01:34.660Listen to Artists on Artists on Artists on Artists every Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
00:01:42.140I'm Lacey Mosley, author, actor, stand-up comedian, creator, and host of Scam Goddess Podcast,
00:01:47.800the true crime comedy podcast all about robbery, fraud, and those who practice it.
00:01:52.180Each week I bring on an amazing guest.
00:31:49.140i don't i i genuinely love people it's part of the reason i love this podcast i love i love0.97
00:31:54.980i love people and i love gauging uh reactions yeah because how many people come up to you
00:32:01.120during the day like you do this too you go up to strangers and be like i love you
00:32:04.240and i i i love throwing people off guard in a positive way and trying to just like make them
00:32:10.880smile i think it's because your relationship your relationship with yourself is intact too
00:32:14.980You know, you're like we were talking about with Peter and our last podcast.
00:32:18.420It's like you have that confidence in yourself and you're not, you know, thinking about yourself or like, you know, trying to like trip yourself up.
00:32:26.880You're completely operating in the world around you.
00:32:29.740So I think that self-love reflects with how you love other people and interact.
00:46:21.720But then what we did is essentially cut the entire A-plot.
00:46:24.140And I think it is because if we want to talk about your journey in 2018 and how you've responded to Tokyo and Japan, do we have that position to be telling that story or does this need to be someone outside?
00:46:39.720That is a great question that I wrestled with so much because in many ways, if it's coming out of our camp, there's a chance it would appear biased because we are making it, we're controlling the message.0.77
00:46:52.480but also it was emotional as fuck all we do is create it's all we know it's all we know
00:46:59.240and in order to put out the best story possible i believe we were the only right people to do it0.91
00:47:08.280and i think i i and to that i do agree because during that year like here's here's the thing
00:47:15.140that i don't think again many people realize so you publicly got destroyed online when all of
00:47:21.840that wind down but you had the privilege of since you're a very valuable person to a lot of people
00:47:27.920a lot of people stayed with you for me a humble little editor like me who hasn't really got that
00:47:33.880much value in staying friends i lost everything i had many friends i had many people who believed
00:47:43.620in me i had many people who were happy for this job that i was doing many people were wanting to
00:47:47.000work with me and things like that and i had great friends and i was the happiest i'd ever been
00:47:50.880and then one day when i was in paris to new year's eve editing that video and then of course
00:47:57.740and then the fallout afterwards gone in a blink people who i believe to be some of my closest
00:48:04.100friends i have not spoken to since and other ones who were brave enough were furious i had friends
00:48:10.680who punished me really traumatizingly punished that i do not even have the confidence to talk
00:48:19.360about now and i was on my own for the entire year the only friend i had was my girlfriend who even
00:48:30.840at the time we even had ups and downs and our relationship was over during that period as well
00:48:35.040and then the only other friend I worked at confining with was my housemate0.94
00:48:38.100who because of it she fucking hated me as well and she was stuck with me1.00
00:48:43.120for an entire year because she can get herself out of the lease and whatever1.00
00:48:45.680and then I had friends who were stuck with me out of obligation
00:48:48.160and I knew they were friends with me out of obligation
00:48:50.380because they were also friends with the housemate
00:48:51.820and that torture of truly being on my own
00:48:54.820then led to me expressing everything in that documentary
01:01:04.580Andre also helped me out at one point as well when I was like at the lowest
01:01:08.240point where i was ready to quit right there and then and andre came and said like hey like this
01:01:15.720is going to be okay i and i he said something like that logan's promising to compromise and
01:01:20.260there was a few compromises that we did make and like andre also pulled me out and this is why i'm
01:01:25.300very appreciative of being here and living here now for an entire year i was on my own completely
01:01:31.360on my own emotionally and i regret not coming here sooner because we had the opportunity for
01:01:35.940me to move here significantly sooner and it's great that now already i'm here with friends
01:01:41.780who are ready to hold my hand and pull me out on my tough days because again it's like it's
01:01:49.840clearly established especially with the mom passing and struggle childhood depression is a
01:01:54.680thing that i'm never ever gonna get rid of it's here with me forever and i wouldn't say that i
01:01:59.980would say you know you're i would acknowledge the fact of how many strides you've made oh my god
01:02:05.300And I would say this is proof that you've had family all around you since day one.
01:02:12.540And I think like when you come across those people, those friends that are there in the easy times.1.00
01:02:18.060And then when some shit happens in your life and they leave, like to all those people, you know, with all due respect, but fuck all of them.1.00
01:32:49.680I think the amount of shit you talked on the front end into the fight is almost equivalent to the shit he's talking on the back end out.1.00
01:32:58.740And so like all those times when you said, where are your parents?1.00
01:34:14.720I'm even going to pay for trucks to drive around outside of the stadium promoting my song.
01:34:18.900You know what I admire about all of that?
01:34:21.420Not only was his marketing, which, by the way, is why he's one of the biggest YouTube stars in the world, phenomenal with that, was the risk he took.
01:44:24.260really like the sweating attacks that you have when you try a show for the first time the fact
01:44:28.820that you cheated the fact that you did this because that's who they are right that's who
01:44:33.180they are they use it at they use it as a way to feel relatable to the person that they enjoy
01:44:39.380watching you know what i'm saying can we do that free can we do that three times a week
01:44:44.280like oh it's actually in fact easier it's 10 times easier than it will it might be at first
01:44:49.900yeah but eventually bro we'll start manufacturing manufacturing scenarios that are real and like
01:44:57.540like with reality television that's kind of what we did with the majority of like the flat earth
01:45:02.500doc and you know yes you know with uh gucci face jacob like it's it's like i don't know like maybe
01:45:08.98020 plan you take the seed of what you're given yeah and then you build it into something fantastic
01:45:14.340Yeah. But in this case, from a from a reality standpoint and from an always on standpoint, you think of all these crazy concepts.
01:45:22.220What can I do? Who can I who can I, you know, like run to as a good star for this or what crazy thing can I do?
01:45:28.380Look at what's going on in this house. You've got one of the most controversial people in celebrity history, easily, easily in digital history.
02:00:16.880since you if you do not continue to challenge me i will go i don't i don't i don't that's a great
02:00:24.220i don't blame you for that bro like i i don't want someone working for me who isn't happy and0.97
02:00:28.760loving what they're doing i i can't i not don't want i can't have that i have enough shit going0.70
02:00:32.260on no but even take it as fire though don't like you know like he's he's basically just saying0.92
02:00:36.920challenge him you know what i'm saying like challenge yourself to challenge him if we as
02:00:40.280creators settle like that's a problem and we should never settle ever again we settled with
02:00:45.080daily vlogging we really did and that's how we led to the mistakes that we made because we settled
02:00:49.100we as a team need to continue growing and need to not lose focus on growing what is next what's
02:00:56.040bigger what's better in a healthy and smart way look at the lessons that we get and make sure
02:01:00.920and question ourselves because we talked about it earlier how the views taught us the wrong lessons
02:01:04.200we need to look at the lesson so is this the right lesson how can we learn about it we need to
02:01:07.340continue to be better continue growing continue being the one of the best creators on this
02:01:11.620platform and we will work together for years i promise you that thanks i would i would just
02:01:17.400caution yeah like i respect first off your emotions make you the a great artist but i would
02:01:24.580caution living from that space of fear because i think that document came as the as a fear
02:01:29.840versus like a passion to create and i feel like you're able like those those times in the past
02:01:37.320it's like two years ago it's time to bury those like leave those in 2019 that's what that's what
02:01:41.940anxiety does it just makes it such a hard thing to let go the fact that i you when i meet new people
02:01:49.420i talk about japan as an icebreaker now as in a i purposely throw myself under the bus to give
02:01:58.920them power and i trying to figure out why you're a sadomasochist do you do do you do sado type uh0.99
02:02:07.120sexual sex or no fuck that vice versa like have you ever tell me this have you ever had a have1.00
02:02:16.500you ever been whipped in the balls to a point where it hurt and you didn't say stop you had1.00
02:02:21.340a safe word but you didn't you didn't fucking use it i'm so sorry i'm a very vanilla sex person0.99
02:02:26.120i'm so sorry i really do think on a real note i think that you know this is perfectly acceptable0.99
02:02:36.400because like what you went through with your mom like dude you're seven there's like a lot of of
02:02:42.020scientific research that shows like traumas that happen before the age of seven are way harder to
02:02:47.200overcome and i think that it's it's easy for me to just say yo hey watch out for that like it's a
02:02:53.720practice that you have to do on a daily basis but i would encourage you to to just know that you
02:02:59.200don't need to create anymore from that space of fear you can create from that space of love and
02:03:05.240if it ever gets to a point where there's three vlogs a week you don't have to go to logan and
02:03:10.420like say i'm gonna resign you can just walk up to him be like hey bro not uh not a fan of this one
02:03:15.120uh can we talk about this and this is why on your on your earlier note i would say you you've to
02:03:19.880contextualize what you've said the biggest flaw in my personality and i know this for a fact is
02:03:24.600i identified myself by trauma identify my character identify my personality in trauma that i've had
02:03:31.180as a reason for my personality did you watch her last podcast with peter i'm afraid not no
02:03:35.340you have to watch okay i feel like watch that podcast and that's gonna give you so a whole
02:03:41.220different perspective to live by so what it is and like to kind of thank and on that note it is
02:03:46.780that's the main reason why i decided to move to america whereas we sat on a visa opportunity
02:03:52.140for months and i was so afraid of leaving because i became that recluse i started hiding in my room
02:03:59.100i said not leaving because that was all i knew and then when i then had the epiphany of why am
02:04:04.620i sitting in this dark room all by myself for the majority of my life i need to get out and so part
02:04:10.680of this whole eight month journey that i've had by living here is trying to learn to genuinely make
02:04:16.060friends again to genuinely become who i am destined to be and genuinely become who i want to be because
02:04:24.800i no longer want to identify myself as trauma there's such a horrible character flaw that i
02:04:29.760need so desperately break it's not i i hear you yeah first off it's not uh uh something as heavy
02:04:36.620as i think you is if you you give it weight um dude you're not alone it's a shitload of people
02:04:42.720out there that are listening to this right now that are probably feeling exactly the same way
02:04:46.280like you move to a new place you go to a new school you whatever it is start an mtv show yeah
02:04:51.740and seriously you have an anxiety attack when you start like i have an anxiety attack all the time0.88
02:04:56.900it's so common it's common as fuck you don't need to identify with it i think that's the biggest0.94
02:05:00.600thing like when it comes up that thing is not you you can overcome it it's like your greatest0.97
02:05:05.200teacher yeah it's that it's that perspective shit yeah it's it's it is something i'm definitely
02:05:09.500working on what you said is something i'm working on it is changing my relationship with fear0.94
02:05:14.540changing my relationship with anxiety and changing my relationship with trauma
02:05:18.020to become the best possible person that i can be and already i looked at myself before i left
02:05:25.020the the uk and that person i don't even recognize i have already grown so much how crazy is that
02:05:31.460eight months ago yeah how quickly is that if we did this if we did this podcast the week i moved
02:05:38.100here i would be a fucking emotional wreck because it was just oh i would barely say anything because0.73
02:05:43.340i'll be the shyest person ever yeah it is for me is build relationships i'm afraid to say that's0.96
02:05:49.580the one that's the one thing i'm struggling with the most it is i've because of last year i've
02:05:53.920forgotten how to build relationships because i have that anxiety i can give you i can give you
02:05:57.080a tip i feel like that's gonna really help you um in a time like any time that i've been lost
02:06:03.020and i try to be heard i just do damage i do damage on others i do damage on myself and that's what i
02:06:09.380did but if you can admit which i think you are you're in that space of saying i feel lost i'm
02:06:15.620lost then listen yeah like get in the habit of listening so don't try to be heard and that's
02:06:21.720that's a really tough that's a very tough habit to create but surround yourself with the people
02:06:28.440that are here but listen yeah just listen be a fly on the wall listen to what they're saying
02:06:33.100listen to what they're doing like happier people have something to say and they have something to
02:06:38.000teach you and i think broken people hurt people hurt people right we hear that all the time like
02:06:43.100hurt people try to be heard they try to they try to create content they try to do things and it
02:06:47.620hurts other people it does so just listen yeah whenever you're in doubt just listen to what
02:06:52.180people are saying man when in doubt listen to people what they're saying i'm gonna have that
02:06:55.260as my ringtone so i'm reminded of it every time your ringtone is gonna be listen to people when
02:07:00.980people are talking how are you gonna program it do you mean your wallpaper no no but it's great
02:07:04.520Because then I can listen to a text, you know, like listen to what it's like, you know, it's a reminder, I guess, you know, that's great advice, Spencer. Listening is listening. Listening is incredible. Remember the trip to Big Sur? One of the epiphanies we had? Yeah, I had anyways, I was just like, the importance of just really listening, active listening. It's it's it's it is the number one thing that makes good actors, good, great actors, great actors is because acting is just reactionary. If you're listening, and you're really digesting what someone's saying. If you're a human, you'll feel something.
02:21:11.680He gets right up next to the microphone.
