00:01:52.600 How are you?

00:01:53.220 How's life?

00:01:54.140 Oh, you know, it's unfortunately raining today, which is sort of taking a toll on my mental health,

00:01:59.000 if we're being completely honest.

00:02:01.100 How are you?

00:02:02.340 Same.

00:02:02.900 Yeah.

00:02:03.460 Same.

00:02:04.040 Are you a cold weather or a warm weather girl?

00:02:06.120 You know, I'm somewhere in between.

00:02:08.200 Really?

00:02:08.480 I need to be really picky.

00:02:10.080 Yes.

00:02:10.800 I don't want to be like picky, but, um, 70s sunny is like kind of my girl, you know?

00:02:16.660 T, T, T.

00:02:17.400 Yeah.

00:02:17.740 I feel like I'm more warm weather.

00:02:19.960 I lean more towards warm.

00:02:21.000 Yeah.

00:02:21.100 Okay.

00:02:21.320 I think my ancestors are just like, every time it's cold.

00:02:24.180 Yeah.

00:02:24.500 Yeah.

00:02:24.760 So, so, so.

00:02:25.360 Every time it's cold.

00:02:26.000 And I'm, and I sweat too, which makes no sense really.

00:02:28.700 I sweat so much.

00:02:30.420 Me too, girl.

00:02:31.140 It's an actual issue.

00:02:32.880 Yeah.

00:02:33.080 Nobody in Hollywood sweats.

00:02:34.120 What's going on there?

00:02:34.800 Yeah.

00:02:34.980 No, what's going on?

00:02:35.840 Let's normalize sweating.

00:02:37.480 Bring back sweating.

00:02:38.500 Yeah, please.

00:02:39.140 I'm sweating right now.

00:02:40.120 I sweat so, it's raining outside.

00:02:41.740 I'm literally sweating so hard right now.

00:02:43.760 I will never stop.

00:02:44.960 Yeah.

00:02:45.260 I will never stop sweating.

00:02:46.360 The same way I'm always the sweatiest.

00:02:48.000 I'm typically always the tallest too.

00:02:50.200 Oh.

00:02:50.620 Like we were just talking about.

00:02:51.460 Yeah.

00:02:51.680 We were just talking about that.

00:02:52.800 You're about an average height, I'd say.

00:02:54.380 Thank you.

00:02:55.060 I think I am.

00:02:56.120 Yeah.

00:03:02.800 Last time you checked.

00:03:03.880 Last time I checked.

00:03:04.820 Yeah.

00:03:05.260 Everybody's so small.

00:03:06.680 Everybody's so small.

00:03:07.600 I know.

00:03:07.920 People are small.

00:03:08.360 I just want to pick them up, do a couple of these, you know, throw them. 1.00

00:03:10.720 Oh, shit. 0.99

00:03:11.340 Yeah. 1.00

00:03:11.780 Depending on how they make me feel.

00:03:13.620 I'll pick them up.

00:03:14.080 So true.

00:03:14.640 Put them in my pocket, pick them up, throw them.

00:03:16.180 Right.

00:03:16.580 Right.

00:03:16.960 Right.

00:03:17.260 Yeah.

00:03:19.080 Yeah.

00:03:19.260 Yeah.

00:03:19.840 Yeah.

00:03:20.340 Yeah.

00:03:20.580 It just depends.

00:03:21.460 Yeah.

00:03:21.660 It depends on the person.

00:03:22.540 It really does.

00:03:23.060 You're so right.

00:03:23.660 You're so right.

00:03:24.420 Yeah.

00:03:25.040 So you were just telling me that you're actually not from LA, but you're from up north.

00:03:29.220 Yeah.

00:03:29.480 You're a Bay Area girl. 0.99

00:03:30.820 Yeah.

00:03:31.080 Well, sort of.

00:03:31.680 Some people get upset when I call Sacramento Bay Area, but like.

00:03:35.400 Really?

00:03:38.360 I don't know the state capital.

00:03:41.700 Like what else is there?

00:03:43.040 I don't know.

00:03:43.700 But I did go to San Francisco State for one semester before I dropped out famously.

00:03:49.800 So I would consider myself a Bay Area girl.

00:03:52.260 I don't know.

00:03:52.980 Yeah.

00:03:53.020 I'll call you one.

00:03:53.840 Thank you so much.

00:03:54.720 Yeah.

00:03:54.920 Yeah.

00:03:55.620 Yeah.

00:03:55.860 Everybody get mad at Drew.

00:03:56.960 Thanks.

00:03:57.760 Not me.

00:03:59.040 I know.

00:03:59.600 I'm so curious about your life before TikTok.

00:04:02.100 So like you said, you were in school.

00:04:05.180 You moved schools.

00:04:06.500 A bunch.

00:04:07.080 A bunch.

00:04:07.420 A bunch of times.

00:04:08.520 Yeah.

00:04:08.920 Any particular reason or you just weren't vibing?

00:04:10.820 I just wasn't vibing.

00:04:11.820 I was bored.

00:04:12.700 Well, in high school, I also moved to schools a lot too.

00:04:15.240 I went to three different high schools.

00:04:16.660 Really?

00:04:17.200 Yeah.

00:04:17.740 Is that just, were you moving or just.

00:04:19.260 Yeah.

00:04:19.460 We had to move the first time for my dad's job.

00:04:21.740 Okay.

00:04:22.140 And then when we moved back, I was like, I just want to like change schools.

00:04:25.600 Like just to like be weird.

00:04:27.440 I don't know.

00:04:28.240 Be different.

00:04:29.120 Yeah.

00:04:29.560 Be different.

00:04:30.260 The center of attention.

00:04:31.460 You know.

00:04:31.880 One thing about me.

00:04:32.840 Loving the center of attention.

00:04:33.360 Pull focus.

00:04:34.160 Yeah.

00:04:34.280 Pull focus.

00:04:34.980 That's how you know you were meant to be an actress.

00:04:36.440 Yeah, of course.

00:04:37.760 Of course.

00:04:38.500 I love it.

00:04:40.120 And college was sort of like the same mentality.

00:04:42.380 It was like, I'm not getting enough attention here.

00:04:43.960 I have to move.

00:04:45.040 Clearly I have to move.

00:04:46.120 I have to start over.

00:04:46.600 Gotta move.

00:04:47.160 Gotta move.

00:04:48.140 Gotta go.

00:04:49.080 But no, San Francisco State was, it was really fun.

00:04:52.440 It was like the traditional college experience.

00:04:54.620 Yeah.

00:04:54.820 You know, like frats, sororities, all that jazz.

00:04:56.880 But the weather was honestly really, really tough for me.

00:04:59.940 It was like so dark and cloudy all the time.

00:05:02.360 Yeah.

00:05:02.800 And we were, yeah.

00:05:03.860 And then I went to community college and then I auditioned for a performing arts school.

00:05:09.420 Got in.

00:05:10.380 Never left.

00:05:11.480 Oh, period.

00:05:11.960 And that's in LA.

00:05:12.860 And that's in LA.

00:05:13.680 And I, yeah, have never left.

00:05:15.280 So, yeah.

00:05:16.020 So you said, I need more attention.

00:05:17.440 So I want to go to a school where everybody needs attention.

00:05:19.680 Where everybody needs attention.

00:05:20.460 And then you feel at home.

00:05:21.520 You feel at home.

00:05:22.180 You're just like, sometimes you're like kind of fighting for attention, but it's a good,

00:05:25.360 it's a good fight.

00:05:25.940 It's a fun, yeah.

00:05:26.780 It's a fun time.

00:05:27.480 Yeah.

00:05:28.300 Okay.

00:05:28.900 So what got you into TikTok?

00:05:31.540 Oh, well, wait.

00:05:32.300 Before that.

00:05:33.100 Yeah.

00:05:33.480 After college, did you work any odd jobs?

00:05:36.960 Did you just jump right into the entertainment industry?

00:05:39.260 Oh, I've, I've had so many jobs.

00:05:41.920 Yeah.

00:05:42.340 I've had so many.

00:05:42.960 I worked at Olive Garden for a very long time, famously.

00:05:46.380 Oh, man.

00:05:46.680 Olive Garden is like.

00:05:47.840 How is that?

00:05:48.320 Yeah.

00:05:49.000 Hell.

00:05:49.380 Oh, on earth.

00:05:50.840 It was, I still have nightmares about working at Olive Garden.

00:05:53.780 Yes.

00:05:54.320 Like not getting the pink lemonade to table 60 in time.

00:05:57.620 Like I have, it's a reoccurring dream for me.

00:05:59.860 Vivid like flashbacks.

00:06:00.840 Yeah.

00:06:01.280 Extra Alfredo.

00:06:02.060 Like it's a whole thing.

00:06:03.520 My cousin Adam loves Olive Garden.

00:06:05.580 That's his favorite restaurant.

00:06:06.720 You know what?

00:06:07.920 I do too.

00:06:08.720 Don't let them know that.

00:06:10.300 But I love.

00:06:10.980 It rocks, but I hate it working there.

00:06:12.080 It rocks, but like I hate it working there.

00:06:13.940 Yeah.

00:06:14.720 And then I. 0.97

00:06:15.220 I think a server is fucking hard. 0.98

00:06:16.240 It's hard. 0.98

00:06:17.200 I did it for a long time.

00:06:18.200 I like said to like, sometimes I thought like when I was a server for like a brief stint.

00:06:23.440 Yeah.

00:06:23.820 I was like, sometimes I think people just go out with the intent to harass me.

00:06:27.940 Yeah.

00:06:28.260 I'm like, they, they came in in a bad mood and they were planning on making my life miserable.

00:06:31.900 People do and they get like hard over it for some reason.

00:06:35.380 Like, it's just like, what do you do?

00:06:36.780 Like what?

00:06:37.680 Like I'm literally just a little girl and I'm going to cry in the back.

00:06:41.220 I'm literally just a girl.

00:06:42.460 I'm just a girl.

00:06:43.440 You're going to make me cry in the walk in freezer for 20 minutes.

00:06:45.960 It's like, what do you mean?

00:06:47.880 It's yeah.

00:06:48.480 It's not easy.

00:06:49.600 It's not easy.

00:06:50.140 My heart goes out to servers.

00:06:52.060 But, um, I also worked at haunted houses.

00:06:56.960 How was that?

00:06:57.940 I was like, I was like, I was like a scare actor, you know, working the craft.

00:07:02.140 Yeah.

00:07:03.820 Workshopping, workshopping, fine.

00:07:05.280 Turing your whistle.

00:07:25.320 Yeah.

00:07:26.020 Yeah.

00:07:26.600 Was a barista for a really long time.

00:07:28.460 I like did all of those things at the same time too.

00:07:31.420 What's worse?

00:07:31.960 A barista or a server?

00:07:32.960 I've never been a barista.

00:07:33.900 Really?

00:07:34.260 Server.

00:07:34.520 Yeah.

00:07:34.660 I actually loved being a barista.

00:07:36.280 Okay.

00:07:36.580 I really had a good time.

00:07:38.200 Um, also the, my coworkers were great.

00:07:41.180 We were also also like sleeping with each other.

00:07:43.320 So that made it fun.

00:07:44.300 Do you know what I mean?

00:07:45.720 Like I love the drama of being a barista and sleeping with your coworker.

00:07:49.780 The like soap opera level drama.

00:07:52.260 Yeah.

00:07:52.660 It's really fun.

00:07:53.420 Um, server is just like, if you're hooking up with your coworker as a server, it's very

00:08:00.220 dark side.

00:08:00.760 It can get very dark sided.

00:08:02.240 That didn't happen when you were a barista?

00:08:04.380 Well, it was like more like fun and up.

00:08:05.940 It's like, whoa, caffeine.

00:08:07.080 It's like six in the morning.

00:08:08.620 Different vibes.

00:08:09.120 Different vibes.

00:08:09.820 Yeah.

00:08:10.020 Yeah.

00:08:10.320 Yeah.

00:08:10.500 Yeah.

00:08:15.900 Come on.

00:08:16.560 No, no, no, no.

00:08:17.540 It's just an episode of big brother.

00:08:19.100 Yeah.

00:08:19.940 You're all just being secretly recorded.

00:08:21.500 Yeah.

00:08:21.740 Yeah.

00:08:22.220 Oh God.

00:08:22.780 Losing your mind slowly.

00:08:23.700 I would love that.

00:08:25.080 They should do that.

00:08:26.200 They should do that.

00:08:26.860 It's specifically at the Olive Garden in Glendale because that, there's some hot tea in there.

00:08:32.760 There's some hot tea in there all the time.

00:08:34.980 Period.

00:08:35.180 All the time.

00:08:36.540 Um, but yeah, I, I got into TikTok over the pandemic as a lot of people did.

00:08:42.000 Yeah.

00:08:42.900 That was when I downloaded it initially.

00:08:45.020 Me too.

00:08:45.480 It took a really long time for me to give in and down.

00:08:48.440 Same.

00:08:55.900 I'm too old.

00:08:57.160 I'm too old.

00:08:57.700 My little brother and sister were like, you got to do it.

00:08:59.980 I'm like, no, I'm too old.

00:09:01.260 Yeah.

00:09:01.940 I'm too old.

00:09:02.340 What like made you actually make the move to download it?

00:09:05.600 Do you remember?

00:09:06.560 Yeah, I do actually.

00:09:07.680 And I don't think I'm.

00:09:08.500 I don't know why.

00:09:10.040 I actually downloaded it because someone I knew, like one of my family members was on there.

00:09:16.200 Okay.

00:09:16.440 And I forget how I found out she was on there.

00:09:18.100 I don't remember how.

00:09:19.080 I'm obsessed with that.

00:09:19.420 But she's young.

00:09:20.020 I love her.

00:09:20.540 I love her to death.

00:09:21.640 But she's young.

00:09:22.700 And at the time she was even younger.

00:09:24.120 And like, I remember seeing it.

00:09:25.580 I was like, I'm so curious what she posts.

00:09:28.300 Yeah.

00:09:28.540 And I literally downloaded it just so I could go watch what she was posting.

00:09:31.840 And thank God you did.

00:09:34.260 And now the world's stuck with me.

00:09:36.020 Yeah.

00:09:36.480 We're stuck with you.

00:09:37.180 Thank God.

00:09:37.960 Yeah.

00:09:38.160 Y'all can thank her for that.

00:09:39.980 That is so.

00:09:40.900 What kind of content does she post? 1.00

00:09:42.320 She was just shit posting like little like teenager shit. 1.00

00:09:45.360 I love that. 1.00

00:09:45.760 I love that. 0.98

00:09:46.860 You know, and they're like, they're feeling themselves and shit like that. 0.98

00:09:49.340 Me just watching her. 0.67

00:09:50.420 I'm like, I'm so curious what she posts.

00:09:53.060 And that's like why I got it.

00:09:54.480 Because I saw that she was on there and I just was curious.

00:09:56.660 And then I just never undoubted.

00:09:59.040 Like I never deleted it.

00:10:00.120 Of course.

00:10:00.420 But then, yeah.

00:10:00.900 Once the pandemic hit.

00:10:02.640 Well, first I got fired.

00:10:03.620 And then once COVID happened.

00:10:05.320 Yes.

00:10:05.580 Then I was like, well, might as well.

00:10:07.620 Might as well.

00:10:08.300 Might as well.

00:10:08.320 Might as well scroll.

00:10:09.060 What else are we doing?

00:10:09.580 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:10:09.940 See what else is going on.

00:10:10.660 Twirling our thumbs.

00:10:11.360 Like, yeah.

00:10:11.720 What else?

00:10:12.500 I fought it too, though.

00:10:13.820 I did.

00:10:14.480 I was too proud.

00:10:14.980 I was too proud for a long time.

00:10:16.820 And I remember I like downloaded it because like the song TikTok by Kesha was trending or

00:10:22.400 something.

00:10:23.100 And I was like, oh, I got to get in there.

00:10:24.980 I got to get in there.

00:10:27.240 Now's my time.

00:10:28.460 Here we go.

00:10:29.020 Well, you guys didn't say you were doing this in here.

00:10:30.980 Oh, listen.

00:10:31.980 What?

00:10:32.520 We're doing TikTok over there.

00:10:34.820 And so I remember the choreography from, what was it?

00:10:39.400 Just Dance.

00:10:40.280 Is that the?

00:10:40.700 Oh, yes.

00:10:41.280 Yes.

00:10:41.540 For TikTok by Kesha.

00:10:42.720 Yes.

00:10:43.180 I remember the choreography for that.

00:10:46.620 So I posted a video doing the choreo to that as like my first thing.

00:10:50.580 I got like 20 likes.

00:10:52.420 I was like, oh, my God.

00:10:53.460 My life has changed.

00:10:55.520 This is crazy.

00:10:56.540 You let the fame get to you.

00:10:57.600 I really did.

00:10:58.300 And I was like, oh, I'm addicted.

00:10:59.800 And I would spend mornings like waking up during the pandemic, like hours just scrolling.

00:11:05.900 I was like, oh, my God.

00:11:07.940 Whoa.

00:11:08.440 OK, I get it now.

00:11:09.880 It was tough.

00:11:10.860 But I didn't post for a while until my therapist like suggested that I did because I was going

00:11:17.500 through like writer's block.

00:11:19.200 I was a part of a sketch comedy team and we were writing a like a Zoom show, which it

00:11:27.100 was bad.

00:11:28.180 It was tough.

00:11:28.680 It was bad.

00:11:29.560 Have you ever watched like a Zoom improv or a sketch show?

00:11:33.340 I can't say that I have.

00:11:34.440 I'm so happy for you.

00:11:35.500 I do know a lot about improv.

00:11:36.700 Yeah.

00:11:37.280 Imagine it on Zoom with like the lulls.

00:11:40.780 My sister actually did improv over Zoom during the pandemic. 1.00

00:11:43.400 You did over Zoom.

00:11:44.200 She said she she said she couldn't get into it.

00:11:47.280 It just wasn't the same.

00:11:48.940 I just couldn't get into it.

00:11:50.880 So fair.

00:11:52.060 I don't know.

00:11:52.420 There's something so humbling about like sitting there and being like, you know what I'm saying?

00:11:57.380 Totally.

00:11:58.200 You're not in the environment together.

00:12:00.200 Yes.

00:12:00.480 At all.

00:12:01.120 Like, like, God forbid the Wi-Fi is lagging.

00:12:03.680 You're like, wait, what?

00:12:04.640 What did you say?

00:12:07.020 And to like black out the scene or like run across the scene, you know, physically you

00:12:10.600 would run.

00:12:11.220 Yeah.

00:12:11.440 But you just turn your camera off and just like, but like, it's so weird.

00:12:16.780 You're doing your own effects and everything at home. 1.00

00:12:18.900 Damn. 1.00

00:12:19.360 Have a green screen. 1.00

00:12:20.600 Yeah.

00:12:21.580 Really get into it. 1.00

00:12:22.860 Damn. 1.00

00:12:23.140 That's crazy. 1.00

00:12:23.480 It's tough.

00:12:24.300 Yeah.

00:12:24.780 So I was experiencing, experiencing writer's block and my therapist was like, have you heard

00:12:28.540 of tech talk?

00:12:29.360 And I was like, girl, yeah.

00:12:31.020 She's like, you should just like improvise on there. 0.88

00:12:32.920 Like your friends and family follow you.

00:12:35.400 That's really smart, actually.

00:12:36.020 It was really smart.

00:12:36.740 So I was like, okay.

00:12:37.540 Yeah.

00:12:37.980 So like work through it.

00:12:38.780 And then, um, I posted one of my like popular, the first popular girl character video on there.

00:12:45.240 And then that's how I blew up.

00:12:46.460 Really?

00:12:46.920 Initially.

00:12:47.900 It was, it was that, it was that character.

00:12:50.200 Yeah.

00:12:50.460 Yeah.

00:12:50.580 Yeah.

00:12:50.700 That character.

00:12:51.260 Yeah.

00:12:51.420 She lives on to this day for some reason she lives on.

00:12:55.160 Yeah.

00:12:55.220 I saw it.

00:12:55.720 I saw it and I was like, that is so funny.

00:12:57.960 Thank you.

00:12:58.520 That's unbelievably funny.

00:12:59.920 And I know that everyone in the comments was very like, I can't tell if you're.

00:13:04.360 Oh yeah.

00:13:04.980 I actually like this or if you're pretending anymore.

00:13:07.440 Right.

00:13:07.620 Which is a good thing.

00:13:08.240 Which I take as a compliment.

00:13:09.640 Acting.

00:13:10.020 You know, I famously went to three different colleges studying theater.

00:13:12.800 Acting.

00:13:13.380 Thank God.

00:13:14.100 Thank God.

00:13:14.680 It worked out.

00:13:15.180 It worked out.

00:13:16.100 Thank God.

00:13:16.580 Yeah.

00:13:16.840 It's so funny when people are like, I can't.

00:13:19.780 Yeah.

00:13:19.940 Like, I can't tell if you, if I actually hate you or this character.

00:13:23.540 I'm like, thank you.

00:13:24.780 You're all, you're becoming one.

00:13:26.140 Yeah.

00:13:26.440 That's what they think when they see multiple sketches in a row.

00:13:29.320 Yeah.

00:13:29.600 Yeah.

00:13:29.820 I'm also like the biggest people pleaser too.

00:13:32.040 So I'm like, please like me.

00:13:33.900 Like, that's not me.

00:13:34.960 But also I'm so terrified of putting like my actual personality on the internet, which

00:13:40.160 is something I look up to you so much for.

00:13:42.100 Like it's no, you're so authentic and like, or it's like organic and just seems like so

00:13:48.140 easy for you.

00:13:49.100 And.

00:13:49.380 Oh, thanks.

00:13:50.040 I appreciate it.

00:13:50.740 Yeah.

00:13:51.040 I mean, maybe that's a testament to me not being a good actor.

00:13:56.080 Like maybe, who knows?

00:13:58.180 Maybe, who knows?

00:13:59.320 Who knows?

00:14:00.100 No, there's something to it.

00:14:00.880 You know, I thought that reminds me, I've told, I've told one other person this.

00:14:03.600 Oh, it was Caitlin Riley.

00:14:04.580 Yeah.

00:14:04.760 Who reminds me a lot of you too.

00:14:05.960 You guys are similar.

00:14:06.840 I'm obsessed with her.

00:14:07.160 Yeah.

00:14:07.300 Very, very similar arcs and born to be actresses.

00:14:10.420 And I told her the same thing that I saw.

00:14:13.020 I saw Kristen Wiig do an interview once and she was talking about, well, actually it was

00:14:17.460 Jon Hamm because he worked with Kristen Wiig in Bridesmaids and he was saying how he thinks

00:14:21.580 most people would be surprised that she's actually very, very shy and she doesn't like showing

00:14:25.520 her real personality.

00:14:26.460 She likes doing characters because that's what makes her such a good like improv sketch comedy

00:14:30.560 actress is because she thrives in a character.

00:14:33.920 Yeah.

00:14:34.040 She feels more comfortable being on camera in a character.

00:14:37.080 That's so true.

00:14:37.960 Yeah.

00:14:38.040 Probably why.

00:14:38.980 Yeah.

00:14:39.300 I definitely relate to that.

00:14:40.680 There's something about being able to like hide behind a character that feels so safe.

00:14:46.260 You know what I mean?

00:14:47.360 It's like, oh, you hate the character too?

00:14:49.600 Me too.

00:14:50.380 Yeah. 1.00

00:14:50.840 Fucker. 1.00

00:14:51.400 Yeah. 1.00

00:14:51.680 Fucker. 1.00

00:14:51.980 Yeah. 1.00

00:14:52.300 What was that?

00:14:53.660 That was crazy.

00:14:55.360 Like, don't like, so, but if it's me, it's like, oh.

00:15:01.620 What's your sign?

00:15:03.040 I'm a Taurus.

00:15:04.300 Period.

00:15:04.840 Yeah.

00:15:05.280 Earth sign.

00:15:05.860 Me too.

00:15:06.820 Really?

00:15:07.280 Well, not Taurus, but I'm an Earth sign.

00:15:08.900 I'm a Virgo.

00:15:09.500 Virgo?

00:15:09.840 I think I'm a Virgo rising.

00:15:11.800 Period.

00:15:12.380 Aries moon.

00:15:14.020 Oh, interesting.

00:15:15.280 Please tell me about myself.

00:15:16.180 Your Taurus and your Aries are very, like, I feel like opposites almost.

00:15:19.880 Yeah.

00:15:20.000 Because your Taurus is very, like, grounded, very, like, level-headed, very logical.

00:15:23.980 Thank you.

00:15:24.360 And then your Aries is very, like, yeah.

00:15:26.880 That's the attention.

00:15:28.480 Oh.

00:15:28.920 That and the Virgo.

00:15:29.440 We're getting to the bottom of this.

00:15:30.280 That and the Virgo because I'm also a Virgo, and I also love attention.

00:15:32.980 Yeah.

00:15:33.080 I think you have to, to some extent, to do this for a living.

00:15:35.400 You have to. 0.94

00:15:36.680 And anybody who says that they don't like attention who are grinding at this, liar. 0.97

00:15:42.080 Yeah.

00:15:42.420 Exactly.

00:15:42.940 And that's fine. 0.81

00:15:44.360 I'm a liar.

00:15:45.040 I just talked about this on my podcast with my sister, but I was saying, I think that there

00:15:49.480 are more people in the world that love attention than don't, but I think more, like, most people

00:15:56.300 believe they don't like attention and say that out loud.

00:16:00.100 Right.

00:16:00.420 But I feel like their life would be easier if they just admitted that they love attention.

00:16:04.340 If they just accepted it.

00:16:04.680 It's okay.

00:16:05.500 Girl, it's okay.

00:16:07.020 Like, the humble, like, oh, I just don't want to be tired.

00:16:11.180 In my lifetime, I've only met maybe three people, one's my dad and one's my boyfriend.

00:16:16.680 Who genuinely.

00:16:17.260 And one's Adam.

00:16:17.920 That, like, genuinely hate attention.

00:16:20.080 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:16:20.520 Like, I don't want to be recorded.

00:16:21.440 I don't need a following.

00:16:22.280 I could, like, literally live off money and never be seen again, and I'd be cool.

00:16:26.320 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:16:26.800 There's, like, very few people I've met that are actually like that.

00:16:30.400 Totally.

00:16:30.940 But I feel like most people don't want to admit it.

00:16:33.500 Most people don't want to admit it.

00:16:34.480 And they just, like, join a talent show.

00:16:36.540 You know what I mean?

00:16:38.260 They're like, oh, this is crazy, but, like, I'm going to join this local talent show.

00:16:42.280 That's why talent shows are, like, such a thing.

00:16:44.220 Yeah.

00:16:44.500 In, like, elementary school and stuff.

00:16:46.120 Hell yeah.

00:16:46.700 Everybody wants to do it.

00:16:47.520 Do you do a talent show?

00:16:48.400 All the time.

00:16:48.980 Every year.

00:16:49.560 What'd you do?

00:16:50.440 Oh, I actually just dug up some old footage from, like, fifth grade, I think. 0.92

00:16:55.480 Damn, I wish I had that. 0.93

00:16:56.880 Oh, it's a treat. 0.99

00:16:57.620 I'm sure I do somewhere, but.

00:16:58.720 You have to find it.

00:16:59.780 Yeah.

00:16:59.900 It is such a treat because it's, like, my friends and I, we were, like,

00:17:04.380 in fifth grade in these, like, booty shorts, like, trying to be, like, hot,

00:17:09.120 like, for what or who?

00:17:11.360 Like, what?

00:17:12.100 We did a choreographed dance to Toxic by Britney Spears.

00:17:16.140 And I remember our moms hired this, like, choreographer to come to our house

00:17:22.640 after school, teach us this choreo to Toxic by Britney Spears, 0.99

00:17:26.000 and we rocked that shit. 0.99

00:17:27.640 It was so funny. 1.00

00:17:30.080 And the footage doesn't lie.

00:17:31.460 It's a footage doesn't lie.

00:17:32.180 You said the footage backs up my claims.

00:17:33.300 Yeah.

00:17:33.440 We, like, had little hats, like, threw it off to the side.

00:17:36.160 Like, it was, like, a whole thing.

00:17:38.680 Matching shirts.

00:17:39.780 It was fun.

00:17:41.060 I think we did.

00:17:42.000 There was, like, a ranking that year.

00:17:43.260 I think we, like, won.

00:17:44.420 Oh, period.

00:17:45.560 I mean, in my mind, we did.

00:17:46.840 We could have just, like, won.

00:17:47.560 You're honest.

00:17:47.980 I don't even remember, but I thought I won.

00:17:49.360 I don't remember, but I won.

00:17:51.220 At the end of the day, I won.

00:17:52.500 That's all that matters.

00:17:53.120 Wait, you're the author of your own story.

00:17:54.600 Absolutely.

00:17:54.920 I'd make it up, too.

00:17:55.840 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:17:56.780 That's so funny, though, because when I did a talent show,

00:17:59.360 when I was in fifth grade also, my sister, me, and, like, my friend at the time

00:18:06.400 and, like, her two sisters, mind you, my sister was in middle school.

00:18:10.460 One of those other sisters was in high school, or both of them were, I think,

00:18:14.000 and then me and my friend were the same age.

00:18:15.840 So we did a dance to Thriller by Michael Jackson.

00:18:20.040 Don't know if you're familiar.

00:18:21.180 Not sure if you guys know the famous, yeah.

00:18:24.240 The famous 80s classic Thriller.

00:18:26.280 Was it Halloween?

00:18:27.480 No.

00:18:28.960 No, it wasn't.

00:18:29.740 It was actually spring.

00:18:30.620 It's a year-long, timeless thing.

00:18:31.620 Yeah, it was an end-of-the-year carnival, and they announced, like,

00:18:35.520 oh, we're going to do a talent show, and I was like, well, clearly,

00:18:37.680 I have to do something.

00:18:38.520 Obviously.

00:18:38.940 Obviously, my fans are dying to see me.

00:18:40.020 The people are asking.

00:18:40.920 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:18:41.660 And so we decided to do Thriller.

00:18:45.200 I don't know why I wasn't even really a big Michael Jackson fan.

00:18:47.560 I knew nothing about that song, like, not even a little bit.

00:18:49.800 I didn't even watch the music video at the time that we decided

00:18:53.080 we were going to do that song.

00:18:54.400 Oh, wow, this is, yeah, okay.

00:18:55.880 And then when we did the dance, you might be thinking,

00:18:57.580 oh, there is a dance to Thriller.

00:18:58.620 Did we do that dance?

00:18:59.480 No.

00:19:00.760 We did a variation of it.

00:19:02.640 Sure, of course.

00:19:03.780 But we watched 13 Going on 30.

00:19:06.780 Of course, of course.

00:19:07.640 We watched that.

00:19:08.320 We loved that movie.

00:19:09.520 It's such a good movie.

00:19:10.900 Right.

00:19:10.980 And when I saw her doing it with Mark Ruffalo,

00:19:13.300 I was like, well, clearly, I don't need to watch the music video.

00:19:15.220 I just watch this.

00:19:15.940 I just got it.

00:19:16.540 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:19:16.920 And they don't show the whole dance in that movie.

00:19:18.340 No, they don't.

00:19:19.280 Those were the only pieces that I knew.

00:19:21.460 And then we just practiced those forever.

00:19:25.040 And then we were like, good enough.

00:19:26.580 We got it.

00:19:27.240 Good enough.

00:19:27.780 Don't need anything else.

00:19:28.600 And then we wore, like, big black t-shirts and, like,

00:19:31.980 painted our faces white.

00:19:33.840 And that's all we did.

00:19:35.040 And then we just went up there and we danced.

00:19:37.640 And there was, you know, it's like a three-minute song.

00:19:40.000 There's a lot of other songs.

00:19:42.540 There's a lot of other songs.

00:19:44.100 We played the full song and just kept, like, starting over the few parts that we didn't know.

00:19:48.940 Of course.

00:19:49.320 What did you do, like, in between?

00:19:50.600 Improvise?

00:19:51.660 I don't know.

00:19:52.660 I really don't.

00:19:53.980 I'm hoping I freestyled somewhat well.

00:19:56.480 I don't think I did at all.

00:19:58.080 I believe you did.

00:19:58.240 I think my sister was so terrified because she, like, hates attention that she was, like,

00:20:02.660 she was just standing in the back, like, frozen with fear, like, in between the parts she didn't know,

00:20:07.460 which I was just like, well.

00:20:09.840 And then I remember thinking, I remember actively thinking, this is a really long song.

00:20:14.780 I was dancing.

00:20:16.400 Because I didn't know the dance.

00:20:17.500 Wow.

00:20:18.060 This is really long.

00:20:19.340 And I got off the stage, and I was like, well, clearly that's first place.

00:20:24.240 Obviously, everyone else is playing for second.

00:20:26.040 Duh.

00:20:26.480 Duh.

00:20:26.900 Yeah, you have to find the footage of that.

00:20:28.420 Oh, yeah.

00:20:28.760 If somebody recorded it, like, we have to find that.

00:20:30.820 My mom, too, even tried.

00:20:32.360 She was like, do you guys want to, like, watch the music video?

00:20:35.900 Maybe learn the whole dance?

00:20:37.040 Yeah, right.

00:20:37.440 And I was like, I mean, Jennifer Garner kind of told me everything I needed to know, but

00:20:40.460 sure.

00:20:41.020 Period, yeah.

00:20:41.520 Sure.

00:20:42.220 Sure.

00:20:42.640 If it makes you feel better.

00:20:44.880 Yeah, if that makes you feel more comfortable.

00:20:46.460 Yeah.

00:20:46.960 Then, sure.

00:20:47.880 Then, sure.

00:20:48.340 Yeah, and did we win?

00:20:50.040 No.

00:20:50.640 Not even close.

00:20:51.240 We didn't even place.

00:20:52.020 Oh.

00:20:52.500 I wonder why.

00:20:55.140 I wonder why.

00:20:56.360 Yeah, such a head scratcher.

00:20:57.820 We didn't place.

00:20:58.860 I love that.

00:20:59.680 Did you do any other talent shows growing up?

00:21:01.380 I'm pretty sure I did it, like, every year until they told me to stop.

00:21:04.720 And they asked you, please don't come back.

00:21:06.380 They were like, girl, stop.

00:21:07.800 And then in high school, I did, like, dance shows.

00:21:11.360 Oh, that's cool.

00:21:12.160 Yeah.

00:21:13.020 Like, on the dance team?

00:21:14.640 Yeah, it was, like, dance class.

00:21:16.140 I also was on the dance team.

00:21:17.480 Oh, fun.

00:21:17.880 Any opportunity that I could take to get in front of an audience?

00:21:21.840 Hell, yeah.

00:21:22.320 You took it.

00:21:23.160 And for a while, I really was that girl that was like, no, stop.

00:21:26.060 Like, I hate it.

00:21:26.780 I hate attention.

00:21:28.020 Actively trying to be in front of as many people as possible.

00:21:31.300 As you're signing up for the next talent show.

00:21:32.740 Yeah, I'm like, oh, yeah, first.

00:21:34.300 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:21:36.100 The other ones, I feel like I were more, like, because I was a competitive gymnast growing

00:21:41.020 up.

00:21:41.460 Oh, nice.

00:21:42.060 Yeah.

00:21:42.680 It was weird.

00:21:45.780 I still carry a lot of trauma from gymnastics.

00:21:47.660 I'm sure every gymnast can say that.

00:21:49.280 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:21:50.100 But I would always, like, whip out those backflips and always, you know, just, like, shock the

00:21:56.400 audience.

00:21:56.880 I'd be like, yeah.

00:21:57.640 Get one of those.

00:21:58.620 That's right, yeah.

00:21:59.640 Can you do that?

00:22:00.920 Didn't think so.

00:22:02.820 Didn't think so. 1.00

00:22:03.380 Everything else was trash.

00:22:04.340 I just did a backflip and I was like, yeah. 0.96

00:22:08.100 You're all that gets them every time?

00:22:09.220 Yeah, it gets them every time.

00:22:12.120 Great crowd.

00:22:13.500 Yeah, it really is.

00:22:14.960 It's the button to every talent show is a backflip.

00:22:19.220 At least you can do a backflip. 1.00

00:22:20.760 I can't do a backflip for shit. 1.00

00:22:21.960 Well, not anymore. 0.99

00:22:22.940 The last time I tried to do one, I was drunk at a wedding and ate shit completely in every 0.97

00:22:29.320 sense of the word. 0.93

00:22:30.660 Did everyone see you?

00:22:31.760 Uh-huh.

00:22:32.320 Bummer.

00:22:32.620 There's footage of that, too.

00:22:34.460 Oh, nice.

00:22:35.060 I'm sure it'll come up.

00:22:35.680 Why are all the moments in your life being documented?

00:22:38.060 Because I love 10J.

00:22:39.660 Because I asked them to.

00:22:40.620 Because I made sure it was.

00:22:43.760 I will leave a digital footprint if nothing else.

00:22:46.740 Like, that's what I'm going to leave.

00:22:47.960 Did you do it on the dance floor?

00:22:49.480 Uh-huh.

00:22:50.020 Oh, nice.

00:22:50.640 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:22:51.240 Had to.

00:22:52.040 Had to.

00:22:52.680 Absolutely had to.

00:22:53.520 You know what? 0.99

00:22:54.520 I'm, like, making fun of you, like, poking fun, but, like, I did the same shit at weddings. 1.00

00:22:58.360 Like, I did the same shit. 0.99

00:22:59.860 I pulled focus every chance I got. 0.99

00:23:02.120 Oh, this is. 1.00

00:23:02.660 If there's a soul train, bitch, I'm going down it. 1.00

00:23:04.500 I don't care. 1.00

00:23:04.740 I'm going down.

00:23:05.620 I don't care at all.

00:23:05.800 Loud and hard.

00:23:06.580 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:23:07.400 One of the weddings I was actually in, but I was young.

00:23:10.440 I think I was, like, nine.

00:23:11.340 Mm-hmm.

00:23:11.740 And I was a real big fan of, like, the move where you, like, hold your leg and you, like,

00:23:16.640 you know what I'm saying?

00:23:17.500 Oh, classic.

00:23:18.160 Like, fold it up and then you, like, scoot down.

00:23:20.820 Yeah. 1.00

00:23:21.020 I was, like, fuck it. 1.00

00:23:22.300 I'll just do that whole way down the train. 1.00

00:23:23.860 So, I started doing it.

00:23:24.540 But, you know, you're kind of spinning.

00:23:26.080 And my eyes were closed for whatever reason.

00:23:28.420 Oh, you were in the moment.

00:23:29.620 Yeah.

00:23:29.940 Yeah, you were in the moment.

00:23:30.440 Then I bumped into someone and they dropped something and it made a loud noise and then

00:23:33.180 everybody stopped.

00:23:33.920 And then I remember feeling actively, not embarrassed, but annoyed that that person got in my way.

00:23:39.500 Oh, duh.

00:23:39.860 Because I felt like I was eating it up.

00:23:41.160 I was, like, oh, I'm killing it. 0.99

00:23:42.240 I'm killing it. 0.99

00:23:42.740 Well, you were. 0.99

00:23:43.100 And then she interrupted. 0.68

00:23:43.920 Yeah, she interrupted.

00:23:44.800 Like, she stopped her groove.

00:23:45.840 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:23:46.260 So, naturally, I got mad at her instead of taking responsibility for closing my eyes.

00:23:49.980 First of all, how dare she?

00:23:52.040 I totally, I get that.

00:23:53.340 Wow, we have very weirdly similar arcs.

00:23:55.460 Yeah, yeah.

00:23:56.460 Talent show, embarrassing at a wedding.

00:23:58.740 Talent show, wedding.

00:23:59.840 Well, the thing about weddings is, like, oh, you think this is your special day?

00:24:06.020 I'm going to do a backflip.

00:24:06.980 Guess what?

00:24:07.900 Guess what?

00:24:09.040 I'll show you different.

00:24:09.920 They don't know that I know this.

00:24:11.760 I know how to do a backflip.

00:24:12.760 They don't know that this is my special day.

00:24:15.180 This is mine.

00:24:16.260 What's the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to you?

00:24:20.300 Oh, God.

00:24:21.280 That's a, oh.

00:24:24.060 I don't know.

00:24:25.640 Because I feel like you're like me, where, like, embarrassment or shame of any kind, it's

00:24:30.300 very specific.

00:24:31.440 It's very specific.

00:24:31.720 Like, I don't get embarrassed very easily, but when I do, it's bad.

00:24:34.980 Yeah.

00:24:35.820 Yeah.

00:24:36.420 You're so right.

00:24:37.140 I have to, like, really think about it. 0.98

00:24:41.040 Okay, if we're going to be so vulnerable and honest here on the podcast today, I shit 0.99

00:24:45.180 in my pants during a yoga class. 0.98

00:24:51.020 I don't know what I thought you were going to say, but that was not it.

00:24:54.940 Well, let's hear what you thought I was going to say.

00:24:56.200 It might be better.

00:24:56.980 No, I thought it was going to be something silly like falling or something.

00:24:59.120 Oh, no.

00:25:00.460 I felt at graduation, my high school graduation, it was on purpose.

00:25:04.700 That's how much I love attention.

00:25:06.260 What? 1.00

00:25:06.800 I thought some Lizzie McGuire shit. 1.00

00:25:08.100 Yeah, totally. 0.99

00:25:08.780 Nice.

00:25:09.280 My teacher was like, I dare you to fall.

00:25:11.200 And I was like, that fell.

00:25:13.740 Everybody was like, oh, my God.

00:25:14.960 I was like, I know.

00:25:15.680 That was so big.

00:25:16.160 Apparently, double dog dares still mean something to me.

00:25:18.420 Yeah, absolutely.

00:25:19.300 It means everything to me.

00:25:21.160 Everything.

00:25:21.720 Or like, you won't.

00:25:23.260 That.

00:25:24.340 If somebody tells me, you won't.

00:25:25.120 It's going to guarantee you will.

00:25:26.020 I will do anything.

00:25:28.240 I will do it.

00:25:29.120 I'll do it.

00:25:30.260 Sorry.

00:25:30.880 Sorry.

00:25:31.540 Sorry.

00:25:31.960 Don't ask me.

00:25:32.600 You don't want me to do it.

00:25:33.460 Yeah, don't ask.

00:25:35.320 But I did. 0.99

00:25:35.880 Yeah, I did shit myself one time out of the yoga class. 0.69

00:25:38.140 Any particular reason or just kind of one of those days? 0.99

00:25:40.440 I think it was just one of those days, man.

00:25:42.720 I can't remember.

00:25:43.960 I think it was like recovering from food poisoning. 0.97

00:25:46.780 That sucks. 0.98

00:25:47.140 And it was like hot yoga. 0.99

00:25:49.080 Oh, girl.

00:25:49.820 And my body. 0.96

00:25:50.540 You're crazy for going after getting over sickness.

00:25:52.560 I don't know what was going on in my mind. 0.97

00:25:55.260 I think I was probably still delusional from the illness.

00:25:57.720 I mean, like, I got this.

00:25:59.620 It's like, oh, I can handle food poisoning for two days.

00:26:02.980 I can handle anything.

00:26:04.680 Get me to that hot yoga class.

00:26:07.380 No, ran away immediately.

00:26:09.180 Forgot to get my parking validated, which is the saddest part of the whole story.

00:26:13.360 I had to make $30 for parking.

00:26:14.940 I had to make $30.

00:26:15.580 Yeah, but it was a tough moment.

00:26:17.680 Yeah. 0.99

00:26:18.120 Have you ever shit yourself as an adult? 0.99

00:26:19.820 No, I haven't, actually. 0.99

00:26:22.140 Yeah.

00:26:24.180 It's funny because when Katya was on my show, she asked me the same question.

00:26:27.640 Really?

00:26:27.840 And I was like, actually, no. 1.00

00:26:29.120 And then she's like, you fucking liar. 1.00

00:26:30.700 I was like, I swear I haven't. 1.00

00:26:32.160 I swear I haven't.

00:26:33.040 I've peed a little bit, like, from laughing.

00:26:34.600 I pee a little bit all the time.

00:26:35.880 Or getting scared.

00:26:36.680 Yeah, I pee a little bit all the time.

00:26:37.800 That's happened to me.

00:26:38.900 I can't say I've ever pooped myself, though.

00:26:40.620 Yeah.

00:26:40.860 Not yet.

00:26:41.300 I mean, story's still being written, so.

00:26:43.600 Yeah, it'll happen to you one day, and you'll remember it, and you'll talk about it on your podcast.

00:26:47.440 Yeah, and then I'll be like, Paige told me.

00:26:49.620 She told me this was going to happen.

00:26:50.380 It's going to happen.

00:26:51.160 It teaches you a lot of things about yourself.

00:26:53.500 I would think so.

00:26:54.480 Yeah.

00:26:54.880 Real fight or flight instance.

00:26:56.400 Absolutely.

00:26:57.000 I was absolutely flight.

00:26:58.660 Like, get me out of here.

00:26:59.940 I'm not going to continue.

00:27:03.220 Like, no.

00:27:03.980 Was it in the beginning or the end of the class?

00:27:05.640 It was, like, somewhere in, like, the beginning middle.

00:27:08.320 Okay.

00:27:08.760 I think it was, like, 15, 20 minutes into, like, an hour class. 1.00

00:27:11.840 Damn. 0.99

00:27:12.160 And I was like, oh, I feel like nobody even, like, looked at me or cared or anything. 0.99

00:27:18.480 Noticed, really.

00:27:18.860 Or noticed, really, except for me, and I knew it happened immediately.

00:27:21.940 And I was just, like, I tried to, like, play it off, like, oh, I think I'm getting a call.

00:27:26.720 And, like, ran out. 0.99

00:27:28.380 Everybody's like, shut up. 0.99

00:27:29.780 Girl, do you guys hear that? 1.00

00:27:30.700 Just go.

00:27:31.000 At least someone's calling me.

00:27:31.960 I think there's, like, a family emergency.

00:27:34.460 I gotta go.

00:27:35.780 It was.

00:27:36.540 Everyone's like, I don't care.

00:27:37.840 Just go. 1.00

00:27:38.320 They're like, bitch, shut up. 1.00

00:27:40.240 Namaste. 1.00

00:27:41.100 Get out of here.

00:27:41.900 Girl, no, you don't understand what just happened.

00:27:43.720 Yeah.

00:27:44.040 You stand there longer to explain.

00:27:45.860 You guys don't get it.

00:27:47.340 You guys don't get it.

00:27:48.340 Just, like, marinating in it.

00:27:50.280 Sorry.

00:27:50.900 It's just a hot load in your pants.

00:27:54.580 That's crazy.

00:27:55.660 Yeah, it was crazy.

00:27:56.480 It was crazy. 0.99

00:27:56.820 But I feel like after food poisoning, I'm sure that's happened to literally so many fucking people. 0.99

00:28:02.320 Yeah. 0.98

00:28:02.580 Thank you for saying that.

00:28:03.460 There's nothing you could really do.

00:28:04.760 There's nothing you could do about, like, food poisoning especially.

00:28:07.380 Yeah.

00:28:07.720 Do you trust a fart?

00:28:09.400 No.

00:28:10.000 I don't trust a fart anymore.

00:28:11.300 It just happened?

00:28:12.560 It just happened.

00:28:13.260 Or did you cough?

00:28:14.160 I think it was, like, I was, like, in, like, down dog or something.

00:28:18.300 Oh, it was, like, the position where, like, your stomach is, like, pressure.

00:28:20.700 Yeah, where gravity really, like, took over.

00:28:23.760 And it was just, like, I think maybe I was, like, oh, I think I have to fart.

00:28:28.320 And then it happened.

00:28:29.080 And I was, like, oh, family emergency.

00:28:31.760 Gotta go.

00:28:32.680 Oh, my God.

00:28:33.300 My dog is still sick, I believe.

00:28:34.940 That's crazy.

00:28:35.440 Sorry, guys.

00:28:35.920 Sorry, guys.

00:28:36.280 Yeah, that was really tough.

00:28:38.300 So, I mean, hopefully nobody noticed.

00:28:40.900 Maybe it's just, like, an embarrassing moment for me as a grown adult woman.

00:28:45.120 I mean, that's a good, I mean, I think you handled it as best as anyone could in that moment.

00:28:49.380 Thank you so much.

00:28:49.800 To be honest.

00:28:50.540 Yeah.

00:28:51.300 Yeah.

00:28:51.660 I don't know what anyone else could have done better than that, to be honest.

00:28:55.800 Yeah.

00:28:56.460 Thank you for saying, I really needed this.

00:28:57.520 Thank you for sharing that vulnerable moment with me.

00:28:59.200 You're so welcome. 1.00

00:29:00.180 Speaking of shit in your pants. 1.00

00:29:01.080 I'm going to do it, yeah. 1.00

00:29:01.760 Oh, let's talk.

00:29:02.560 Let's keep going.

00:29:03.540 Just kidding.

00:29:05.460 Oh, I also know that you do stand-up.

00:29:08.480 Yes.

00:29:08.880 Yeah.

00:29:09.140 So, how do you like stand-up?

00:29:10.580 I'm so nervous to try it.

00:29:12.180 Oh, my God. 1.00

00:29:12.640 You kill. 0.86

00:29:13.420 I haven't done it.

00:29:14.160 You haven't?

00:29:14.820 No.

00:29:15.300 I'm so scared.

00:29:15.740 You have to.

00:29:16.420 Oh, you have to.

00:29:17.100 No, you would kill. 0.86

00:29:17.980 Are you kidding me?

00:29:18.700 I've seen clips you post on Instagram. 0.99

00:29:19.980 They're fucking funny. 0.99

00:29:21.500 They're so funny. 0.96

00:29:22.720 Thank you so much.

00:29:23.540 There's a lot of emotions here today.

00:29:25.660 Vulnerable, touched.

00:29:26.860 Yeah, wow.

00:29:27.660 Thank you.

00:29:28.320 No, you would kill. 0.59

00:29:29.080 You have to do it.

00:29:30.080 Stand-up is probably one of my favorite things right now in my life.

00:29:34.080 I've only been doing it for, like, maybe a little over two years, like, off and on.

00:29:38.660 There's definitely moments where I've taken, like, a few months off just because of whatever.

00:29:45.160 Laziness. 0.92

00:29:45.740 Mental health, like, it can be anything.

00:29:47.540 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:29:49.200 But I love it.

00:29:50.200 It's tough because, like, earlier where you were saying, it's really hard for me to show

00:29:54.160 my personality on the internet.

00:29:57.540 And doing that in front of a live crowd is, feels a little bit.

00:30:02.820 Do you feel less afraid?

00:30:03.400 A little bit.

00:30:04.160 Yeah.

00:30:04.320 Because it's, like, in the moment.

00:30:05.680 It's not permanent, like, the internet.

00:30:07.320 And you can see everyone, too.

00:30:08.480 Yeah, which is also a little bit scarier because it's, like, immediate feedback.

00:30:14.360 Feedback.

00:30:16.320 You're like, okay.

00:30:18.140 And, yeah, bombing is one of, it's so hard.

00:30:23.540 But I don't know.

00:30:24.980 Like, the high of when a joke does do well and people do relate to it is so worth it.

00:30:31.120 I'm so addicted to it.

00:30:32.360 That's so cool.

00:30:32.400 That's so sick.

00:30:33.140 Like, I admire you greatly.

00:30:35.200 Thank you.

00:30:35.700 What you said about feedback, that's my fear.

00:30:37.760 It's, like, because I know I'm funny.

00:30:39.260 But I'm also not too proud if I'm not stand-up funny.

00:30:41.600 Because I know they're very different.

00:30:42.940 Like, you know, there's some people who can be funny online, like, in clips and bits and

00:30:47.500 stuff.

00:30:47.840 But when they try stand-up, it's like, oh, it's hard.

00:30:50.720 Uh-oh.

00:30:51.060 Yeah, yeah.

00:30:51.540 Right?

00:30:52.200 Uh-oh.

00:30:52.640 Back to the internet.

00:30:53.820 Womp womp. 0.99

00:30:54.440 Yeah, yeah.

00:30:54.800 Get out.

00:30:55.460 Yeah.

00:30:55.640 Yeah, that's kind of where I'm, like, I don't want to find out the hard way that I'm really

00:30:59.980 bad. 0.99

00:31:00.980 Like, I'm, like, they're, like, man, this bitch isn't funny. 1.00

00:31:03.620 No, I mean, I totally understand the fear. 0.98

00:31:06.140 Absolutely.

00:31:06.620 But I think, like, even just your video clips in itself is a stand-up bit.

00:31:11.160 It's just stories.

00:31:12.340 And it's just making fun of people and ourselves.

00:31:14.620 Like, that's all it is.

00:31:15.740 Yeah, I feel like, I feel like there's just, like, such an art form to it.

00:31:19.120 And I'm so, I respect stand-up so much. 0.97

00:31:20.920 So, your clips are fucking funny, dude. 0.89

00:31:22.880 Thank you. 0.97

00:31:23.260 I hope to see you live one day.

00:31:25.360 Thank you.

00:31:25.720 Please.

00:31:26.180 I think that would be sick.

00:31:26.800 I would love that.

00:31:27.540 Yeah, it'd be so fun.

00:31:28.640 So, what do you think is the main difference?

00:31:31.040 Or, like, do you see them very differently, like, when it comes to sketch comedy, when

00:31:33.920 it comes to stand-up?

00:31:35.000 Do you see them, like, do you put them in two separate buckets entirely?

00:31:38.020 Or is there any crossover at all?

00:31:40.200 Yeah, I definitely think they're two completely different art forms.

00:31:45.260 Yeah.

00:31:47.180 Like, but it's cool because you can make fun of, like, the same sort of situation or thing

00:31:53.260 in a sketch that you can, in a stand-up joke.

00:31:57.640 I just feel like there's a lot more vulnerability in stand-up because it's, like, this is me.

00:32:02.120 Yeah, it's like a personal take on it.

00:32:04.320 Yeah, right.

00:32:04.620 Like, telling you my point of view and my thoughts and my story.

00:32:08.760 Yeah.

00:32:09.060 Whereas a character, I could be doing the same thing, but I can hide behind a character.

00:32:12.840 I see.

00:32:13.200 And I can be like, well, if you don't agree, me either.

00:32:16.140 That's why I did it.

00:32:17.100 Like, it's, like, there's so much, it's just easier to, like, write off, like, a bad

00:32:21.680 sketch, I think, personally, than, like, a bad stand-up joke.

00:32:25.480 Totally.

00:32:26.680 Yeah, I think that's the biggest thing.

00:32:28.620 But I love both.

00:32:30.120 I've just been doing sketch a lot longer.

00:32:32.180 Yeah.

00:32:32.420 And stand-up is still so new, which might be why it's so exciting and fun, but, yeah,

00:32:39.280 the vulnerability of it is, it can be really tough, but it's also so admirable when you

00:32:44.740 see a stand-up comedian who I, like, look up to so much, and they're telling all these

00:32:49.600 stories that have really happened to them, and telling millions and millions of people.

00:32:55.840 I don't know.

00:32:56.340 There's just something really cool about that and powerful.

00:32:58.920 Yeah.

00:32:59.000 Totally.

00:32:59.560 I feel like, too, there's been a real war on male comedians lately.

00:33:03.800 Hey, hey, hey.

00:33:05.840 Which I feel like, if you've been watching, because I've watched stand-up forever.

00:33:11.020 I've watched, like, the oldest stand-up specials on YouTube.

00:33:13.760 I used to do it a lot in college when I was really sad.

00:33:15.960 I used to go look up comedy specials from, like, the 80s and the 90s.

00:33:18.940 I love that.

00:33:19.600 Yes.

00:33:20.060 To watch them, and I admire, I just love being able to make people laugh, which I think

00:33:24.300 you do, too.

00:33:24.880 Yeah.

00:33:25.340 Entertaining people, making them laugh is, like, so awesome.

00:33:27.780 Yeah.

00:33:28.000 That's why I feel like the discourse and the critique of, like, male comics right now

00:33:33.020 is not, like, I'm so offended. 0.98

00:33:36.780 It's literally just, it's just the fact that the joke sucks.

00:33:41.200 I'm like, I was like, I respect the craft till I die. 0.90

00:33:44.340 So, of course. 1.00

00:33:45.100 Tell me a good joke, bitch. 1.00

00:33:46.160 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1.00

00:33:46.560 If you're going to be offensive, make it good.

00:33:48.300 Exactly.

00:33:49.380 That's how I feel.

00:33:50.200 Girl, you took the words out of my mouth. 0.99

00:33:51.740 If you're going to be offensive, make it funny. 1.00

00:33:53.680 Yes, make it hit, bitch. 1.00

00:33:55.360 If you're going to do it, make it hit. 1.00

00:33:56.260 Yes, if you're going to do it, let's do it.

00:33:58.360 Yeah, exactly.

00:33:59.540 Because there's, oh, God.

00:34:01.940 Yeah, the bad writing of it all.

00:34:04.120 Exactly.

00:34:04.760 And it's just like, oh, no, you're not, like, we don't hate you.

00:34:09.000 You're just a bad writer.

00:34:10.400 You just don't like your jokes because they're not funny.

00:34:12.860 Yeah, exactly.

00:34:13.680 It's just, yeah, it's weird.

00:34:15.460 Like, the other day I actually had a stand-up show and I, there was this guy who has been

00:34:22.020 allegedly doing it for, like, 30 years.

00:34:24.100 He has, like, some big name in, like, the LA comic community.

00:34:29.560 Yeah.

00:34:30.100 He's just, like, an old white guy, right? 0.84

00:34:32.200 Yeah, yeah. 0.65

00:34:32.600 And he was so old school about just everything and he bombed.

00:34:38.820 He completely bombed.

00:34:39.880 It was, like, yeah, it was tough.

00:34:41.800 I was, like, oh, God, I hate watching people bomb, too.

00:34:44.480 It's just, like, the, like, I can't look.

00:34:46.440 I know.

00:34:46.900 I've been to a show recently where I watched, I watched two white guys bomb. 0.86

00:34:51.600 And it's rough. 0.90

00:34:52.880 It's rough.

00:34:53.800 It's rough, girl.

00:34:54.500 Watching it live is hard.

00:34:56.460 Yeah.

00:34:56.940 Even for me, I can't imagine, like, being on the stage.

00:34:59.360 Yeah, yeah.

00:35:00.000 And, like, it's tough.

00:35:02.400 And he just, and I think I performed fine.

00:35:07.000 Like, I got, like, laughs and stuff and it was fun.

00:35:08.740 And it was, it was fine.

00:35:10.120 And then I went back and he just immediately started critiquing my entire set without me asking.

00:35:15.900 Are you serious?

00:35:16.500 Yes.

00:35:16.880 And it was so weird.

00:35:17.840 He was, like, so how long have you been doing this?

00:35:19.820 I was, like, a little over two years.

00:35:21.100 He's, like, oh, thank God.

00:35:23.940 Like, nobody expects anything from you.

00:35:26.700 And I was, like, what?

00:35:28.020 He's, like, isn't it fun?

00:35:29.520 Isn't it fun to have people not expect anything from you? 0.99

00:35:32.740 And I was, like, bitch, what are you, what? 0.99

00:35:35.180 Which is, what, laughs? 1.00

00:35:36.200 Because I got those.

00:35:36.880 Yeah, yeah.

00:35:37.320 Hey, yeah, no, literally.

00:35:39.200 So, so you're just, like, mad that I got, it was so weird.

00:35:42.160 I'm actually not taking feedback, but thank you so much.

00:35:43.840 Appreciate you.

00:35:44.840 You can contact my team.

00:35:45.980 Thank you.

00:35:46.580 It's for feedback.

00:35:47.260 Yeah.

00:35:47.580 But it was just weird because it was, like, I feel like stand-up comedy is shifting a little bit.

00:35:53.080 We're, like, talking down to younger comics or female comics just doesn't fly anymore. 0.99

00:35:59.680 Like, that's just not the way it's working anymore.

00:36:02.180 No, for real.

00:36:02.840 And he was so adamant about, like, no, like, I'm old school.

00:36:06.400 I've been in the game.

00:36:07.600 It's, like.

00:36:08.280 Girl, and we're at the same show.

00:36:09.480 No.

00:36:09.900 I, literally, I was, like, oh, we got the same time.

00:36:12.820 Yeah.

00:36:13.140 So, what's that about, babe?

00:36:14.480 Yeah.

00:36:14.700 We both got 10 minutes.

00:36:16.800 Aw.

00:36:17.500 Aw, bummer.

00:36:18.540 Crazy. 0.69

00:36:19.400 You went before me. 0.53

00:36:20.160 Yeah.

00:36:20.720 Yeah.

00:36:22.880 Yikes.

00:36:23.500 It was just so, it was so interesting.

00:36:25.760 That's crazy.

00:36:26.760 Yeah.

00:36:26.960 It's crazy.

00:36:27.820 It's crazy.

00:36:28.020 I am happy to see that the stand-up, like, world is shifting in the right direction.

00:36:33.100 Absolutely.

00:36:33.680 It takes a long time because, you know, it's famously a boys club.

00:36:37.540 Yeah, for real.

00:36:38.640 It's such a boys club, but.

00:36:39.160 And, like, an old straight white man club, specifically.

00:36:41.900 Old straight white man club.

00:36:43.660 Yeah.

00:36:43.900 And Caleb Heron, who I love and adore.

00:36:47.400 Yeah.

00:36:47.680 He gives me so much advice about stand-up because he's been doing it for so long.

00:36:51.960 Right.

00:36:52.160 And he's so good.

00:36:52.960 And he's even told me before that, like, nothing's worse than a comic who bombs and

00:36:58.320 is actively bombing and then refuses to move.

00:37:02.160 Yep.

00:37:02.380 Change the joke.

00:37:03.360 Yep.

00:37:03.500 Pivot, like.

00:37:04.400 Or, like, blames the audience.

00:37:05.560 Have you seen that? 1.00

00:37:06.840 Like, what the fuck? 1.00

00:37:07.680 What are you doing? 1.00

00:37:09.960 Get out.

00:37:10.760 Oh, my God.

00:37:11.420 I can't stand that. 1.00

00:37:12.260 They're like, okay, well, fuck you guys. 1.00

00:37:14.080 You guys aren't cool. 1.00

00:37:15.240 Oh.

00:37:15.780 All right, man.

00:37:16.280 Oh, well.

00:37:17.680 Maybe be funny.

00:37:19.000 Yeah.

00:37:20.540 We're expecting one thing from you and, like, that's literally it.

00:37:23.140 We came here to laugh.

00:37:24.180 Just to laugh.

00:37:24.780 Yeah.

00:37:25.100 Just to laugh.

00:37:25.980 Not to be mean.

00:37:26.820 Not to.

00:37:27.580 Yeah.

00:37:27.920 He was like, it's painful to watch people that just refuse to pivot.

00:37:30.860 It's hard.

00:37:31.240 Yeah.

00:37:31.460 It's really hard to watch it.

00:37:32.680 Yeah.

00:37:32.900 And then they complain.

00:37:34.040 They blame all.

00:37:35.320 Everything else.

00:37:35.760 Every other aspect except the writing.

00:37:38.080 Themselves.

00:37:38.560 Yeah.

00:37:38.660 Which, like, you've been doing sketch comedy forever and now you're doing, you've been doing

00:37:41.580 stand-up for a long time, too, so you're a writer at the end of the day.

00:37:44.620 It's like a joke writer.

00:37:46.060 Thank you.

00:37:46.480 Right?

00:37:46.900 Yeah.

00:37:47.100 So that's.

00:37:47.640 That sounds cool to me than I'm a sketch comedian.

00:37:51.540 It's all writing, really.

00:37:52.960 Yeah.

00:37:53.020 That's all it is.

00:37:53.740 Yeah.

00:37:53.860 It's the same thing with, like, things, like, whether it's a stand-up special or, like,

00:37:56.640 SNL.

00:37:57.180 Like, it's all writing.

00:37:58.240 It is.

00:37:58.720 Yeah.

00:37:58.980 When it's good, it's really good and it's bad.

00:38:02.880 Uh-oh.

00:38:03.660 Uh-oh.

00:38:04.300 Womp womp. 0.99

00:38:05.140 Yeah.

00:38:05.720 And I've even said, too, about, like, I feel like with stand-up comics who are, like, you

00:38:11.400 can't joke about anything or you can't say anything these days.

00:38:14.160 Of course.

00:38:14.480 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:38:14.940 I feel like there's a way that you can talk about literally anything that doesn't involve,

00:38:20.840 like, punching down as a punchline.

00:38:23.600 Right.

00:38:23.820 If the joke ends with, like, you being racist, it's not a good joke.

00:38:28.440 Yeah.

00:38:28.660 If it ends with misogyny, it's not a good joke.

00:38:31.040 Right.

00:38:31.520 You just hate people and that's not fun.

00:38:35.740 Yeah.

00:38:36.060 And it's, like, well, just because your friends told you you're funny doesn't mean you're

00:38:39.360 stand-up funny.

00:38:40.240 Yeah.

00:38:40.660 But most men like that are, like, I should go to Laugh Factory, see if they have any openings.

00:38:47.360 See if they have.

00:38:47.960 My favorite bit is, like, when somebody's, like, thinking they're being funny, I'm, like,

00:38:51.540 you should do stand-up.

00:38:52.560 Like, I love telling you.

00:38:54.420 Has anybody ever told you you should do stand-up?

00:38:56.920 That's so funny.

00:38:57.760 It's, like, my favorite bit because it's so true.

00:38:59.820 I'm going to borrow that.

00:39:00.740 Please.

00:39:01.540 Please.

00:39:02.060 I'm going to use that.

00:39:02.680 It's so funny.

00:39:02.940 It kills every time.

00:39:04.540 And it's just, like, because it's so true.

00:39:06.220 Like, people who think that they're, like, funny amongst their friends when they're really 0.89

00:39:09.460 just being shitty. 0.96

00:39:10.520 Yeah. 0.98

00:39:10.840 And they're, like, man, I don't know.

00:39:12.980 Hmm.

00:39:13.380 I'm going to be that, like, what are you talking about?

00:39:16.260 Like, no.

00:39:16.980 Yeah.

00:39:17.520 It's weird.

00:39:18.320 Someone get Lorne Michaels on the phone.

00:39:19.560 Yeah.

00:39:20.040 Ring, ring.

00:39:20.800 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:39:21.440 It's so weird.

00:39:22.540 And they don't let go of that, like, entitlement.

00:39:25.620 Even if they do get into comedy.

00:39:27.180 There are so many comics that are just in it because people growing up were, like, that's

00:39:33.020 our little comedian.

00:39:33.660 And you're, like, wait, no, though.

00:39:36.740 No. 1.00

00:39:37.020 He just makes silly faces and talks shit about girls. 1.00

00:39:40.140 Like, no. 1.00

00:39:42.360 Well.

00:39:43.220 Yeah.

00:39:43.780 But there's definitely, like, and that's the thing about stand-up when people are, like,

00:39:46.800 oh, you can't say anything anymore or comedy is dying.

00:39:50.200 It's, like, no.

00:39:51.000 People are just getting smarter and so do you.

00:39:52.620 Like, your writing has to get smarter.

00:39:54.140 Like, evolve with it, girl.

00:39:55.340 Come on.

00:39:56.040 There are plenty of comics who have been around for a while.

00:39:58.400 Yeah. 1.00

00:39:58.800 And their shit is evolving with time. 1.00

00:40:00.560 Absolutely. 1.00

00:40:01.140 Because they're smart and they're not lazy.

00:40:02.740 Yeah.

00:40:03.120 And they're kind of, like, some things you could joke about back then.

00:40:05.540 Now you can't anymore.

00:40:06.200 Now you can't.

00:40:06.500 And that's fine.

00:40:07.260 That's cool.

00:40:07.960 Yeah.

00:40:08.940 That's why I'm, like, you don't have any other material.

00:40:11.580 No, literally.

00:40:12.100 You got nothing else?

00:40:12.620 You got nothing else to talk about?

00:40:14.460 Oh, my God.

00:40:15.700 That's the biggest, like, for me.

00:40:17.560 I'm, like, you seriously have nothing else to talk about?

00:40:20.500 Like, at all?

00:40:21.300 At all?

00:40:22.140 Even when Leo Gonzalez was on the show, we talked about how.

00:40:24.400 Oh, I love Leo.

00:40:25.120 Yeah. 0.97

00:40:25.480 He was, like, my favorite kind of bit that they resort to is when they're, like, fucking hate my 0.99

00:40:31.240 wife. 0.99

00:40:31.620 Target.

00:40:33.180 Am I right?

00:40:35.040 Target.

00:40:35.640 Target.

00:40:36.140 Oh, thank God.

00:40:36.960 Stanley Cups.

00:40:38.120 Like, oh, God. 1.00

00:40:39.960 My fucking bitch wife. 1.00

00:40:41.440 That's so funny because it's so true. 1.00

00:40:43.280 It's like, oh, really?

00:40:44.520 You got nothing else?

00:40:45.560 Yeah. 0.99

00:40:45.780 That's how I feel about when men like that joke about having sex with women, too. 0.99

00:40:50.660 Yes. 0.94

00:40:51.160 Because it's like, okay, yeah, we get it.

00:40:52.920 Right.

00:40:53.540 We get it.

00:40:53.960 Like, find a different way to tell me the joke.

00:40:55.660 I want to hear it in a different way.

00:40:57.800 Of course. 1.00

00:40:58.380 There are just some ways they say shit. 1.00

00:41:00.100 I'm like, dude, come on, bro. 1.00

00:41:01.440 Come on.

00:41:01.820 Like, bored.

00:41:03.140 What?

00:41:03.680 Yeah.

00:41:03.980 Next.

00:41:04.560 Yeah.

00:41:04.800 Next.

00:41:05.320 Please.

00:41:06.180 Get off the stage.

00:41:07.620 I love saying that, too.

00:41:09.880 Boo.

00:41:10.360 You're off the stage.

00:41:11.220 You're heckling him.

00:41:12.660 I am.

00:41:12.980 From the back row.

00:41:14.180 And then I'm in the green room, like, get off the stage.

00:41:17.200 You're starting it?

00:41:18.300 I said that.

00:41:18.780 Yeah.

00:41:19.640 Boo.

00:41:20.140 Like, literally.

00:41:21.960 That's insane.

00:41:23.180 Have you ever had any other run-ins like that when you're doing comedy?

00:41:26.580 Like, when you do, like, you did well that night, but even, like, so, have men ever felt stunned by you?

00:41:31.460 That's probably how he felt, honestly.

00:41:33.060 Thank you.

00:41:33.700 That's a great way to put it.

00:41:34.160 Yeah. 1.00

00:41:34.180 He was probably like, what the fuck? 1.00

00:41:35.680 What the fuck? 1.00

00:41:36.300 Yeah. 1.00

00:41:36.720 It was, that was, like, the most obvious because it was just, like.

00:41:41.780 He just walked up to you and started talking to you.

00:41:43.700 Yeah.

00:41:43.720 Started talking at me and I was like, girl, what?

00:41:46.780 What did you say?

00:41:48.180 I think I was just, like, like, I was so shocked I didn't say anything.

00:41:51.780 I was just like, okay, like, thanks.

00:41:53.620 Like, just like, mm.

00:41:55.480 And then I kept trying to, like, talk to my other comic friend who's in the green room and he kept interrupting.

00:42:01.260 And I was just like, ugh.

00:42:03.040 What?

00:42:03.820 And then I think eventually I was like, how'd you do?

00:42:06.080 How was your set?

00:42:06.680 I wasn't watching.

00:42:07.920 Sorry.

00:42:08.960 I don't know.

00:42:09.380 I was too busy.

00:42:10.100 I was like, wow, I couldn't hear anything.

00:42:12.140 Like, the roars of laughter from my set.

00:42:14.520 Yeah.

00:42:14.960 I was like, well, I'm, like.

00:42:16.320 My ears are ringing.

00:42:16.960 Losing.

00:42:17.760 Yeah.

00:42:18.280 What's going on?

00:42:19.500 It's just so weird.

00:42:21.720 But no, not really.

00:42:23.120 I think the biggest thing that I've run into in stand-up and, like, green rooms is other comics who sort of look down on people who do social media.

00:42:33.120 That's been a very common thing, which is tough.

00:42:38.120 And I understand, like, the old school grind of it all.

00:42:40.540 Yeah.

00:42:41.120 I can't do it.

00:42:43.860 Obviously, that's why I'm on social media.

00:42:46.060 Yeah.

00:42:46.260 But I don't know.

00:42:47.660 And I just tell them, like, dude, everybody should be on social media.

00:42:50.200 It's such an amazing tool.

00:42:51.580 Yeah.

00:42:51.780 Like, you can get in front of so many different types of people.

00:42:54.820 Totally. 0.99

00:42:55.320 And, like, that you, what, you think the whole world is at the fucking Hollywood improv? 0.97

00:42:59.880 Like, what do you, like, get on there. 0.98

00:43:02.320 Yeah, for real.

00:43:02.800 And they're just so.

00:43:04.840 They look down on it.

00:43:05.940 Yeah, they do.

00:43:06.900 And that's, like, the biggest thing that I've had to, I feel like, face in green rooms. 0.99

00:43:11.160 Damn, that's so annoying. 0.98

00:43:12.380 It is annoying. 1.00

00:43:13.260 It's fucking annoying. 0.97

00:43:14.020 Especially having to, like, prove. 0.99

00:43:15.480 You're like, dude, we're both here, right?

00:43:17.160 Right.

00:43:17.560 Yeah, exactly.

00:43:18.680 So, like, what are we talking about?

00:43:19.540 Yeah.

00:43:19.780 I didn't bring it up, so we don't need to talk about it.

00:43:22.420 Yeah, we don't need to talk about it.

00:43:23.300 It's okay.

00:43:23.680 What's your day job?

00:43:24.960 Oh, God.

00:43:26.820 Well, and there's something, like, I feel like they would respect me more if I was, like,

00:43:31.400 still working at Olive Garden and still doing that, the grind.

00:43:35.340 But it's just, it's a weird, it's a weird thing, I think, right now.

00:43:39.340 There's a shift.

00:43:40.920 And hopefully people are, like, adapting and using the tools that are there for them.

00:43:46.420 Like, they absolutely can do it, too. 1.00

00:43:50.200 Like, fucking take notes, bitch. 1.00

00:43:51.960 Yeah, right now. 1.00

00:43:52.920 Maybe it'll help you.

00:43:54.020 And it usually does.

00:43:55.740 And so, there's a shift right now, and I think people are just feeling a little bit uncomfortable,

00:43:59.640 which is fair.

00:44:00.540 But, yeah, that's been, yeah, it's been weird and awkward.

00:44:03.680 Yeah, the social media thing is huge, especially in entertainment.

00:44:07.920 Like, even when I host and stuff, like, I stand with other media.

00:44:12.020 Like, when I did the Oscars, I stood with a lot of people that have been doing it for,

00:44:14.820 like, 20 years.

00:44:15.820 And when they ask me what I'm doing, I'm like, oh, I'm, you know, working for the Academy

00:44:21.780 and I'm just doing it for TikTok.

00:44:23.180 And they're like, oh, one of those.

00:44:26.000 Oh, I think I was just listening to, I think it was your episode with Trixie or Katya.

00:44:31.620 Yeah.

00:44:31.880 And you were talking about how you were hosting, like, hosting gig, and you were like, or no,

00:44:38.820 you were walking the carpet in Vegas or something, and they're like, the real talent will be

00:44:43.300 at this time.

00:44:44.520 Like, I was like, what?

00:44:45.720 Oh, yeah, girl. 0.55

00:44:46.580 Oh, yeah.

00:44:47.020 What do you mean?

00:44:47.700 Oh, the real talent.

00:44:48.780 Like, that is so crazy.

00:44:49.800 Yeah, they say real talent walks at this time.

00:44:51.680 Oh, no, that's crazy.

00:44:53.240 Oh, okay.

00:44:54.300 Okay.

00:44:55.060 Got it.

00:44:55.560 Got it.

00:44:55.820 Got it.

00:44:56.020 Got it.

00:44:56.540 There's a bunch of other people who don't, they do something similar to me, and they walk

00:45:00.880 at school.

00:45:01.820 It's so crazy.

00:45:02.740 That's okay.

00:45:03.340 It's okay.

00:45:04.140 There was this, one of my content creator friends, he just had this, like, A-list celebrities

00:45:08.680 people reach out to him, and he's like, we've got to get him on social media.

00:45:13.220 Can you please do a video with him?

00:45:14.840 Like, begging my content creator friend to put this A-list celebrity in a YouTube video.

00:45:21.320 And I was like, oh, yeah, the times are changing, baby.

00:45:23.880 Oh, yeah, girl. 0.55

00:45:24.600 Like, they were, they're right.

00:45:25.920 They're right.

00:45:26.420 Like, in order to get to the younger generation, you've got to get on the internet.

00:45:30.340 Sorry, girl.

00:45:31.340 Sorry about it.

00:45:32.100 Turns out we're essential.

00:45:33.500 Sorry. 0.99

00:45:34.040 Yeah, I hate, I hate that shit, especially when they're, like, uh, when you go to premieres, 1.00

00:45:39.320 because we've met at premieres before. 1.00

00:45:40.860 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:45:41.260 Girl, the way they treat us at premieres. 0.99

00:45:43.140 Trash. 0.99

00:45:43.620 About to give me a train, make me start serving. 1.00

00:45:45.380 Yeah.

00:45:45.700 Oh, absolutely.

00:45:46.480 They're like, who are you?

00:45:47.660 They're going to make me valet cars.

00:45:48.720 Yeah, where's the hors d'oeuvres?

00:45:49.820 Yeah.

00:45:50.060 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:45:50.500 And I'm like.

00:45:52.340 What do you, yeah, it's weird.

00:45:54.220 Yeah.

00:45:54.340 And, but then when you go, like, you meet, like, sometimes when you meet people who are

00:45:58.260 at the premier or even, like, waiting outside to meet people, a lot of times they know you

00:46:02.180 as content creators.

00:46:03.040 They're like, oh, my God, I've seen you on TikTok.

00:46:04.840 Right.

00:46:05.200 Like, it's just, it's all relative to me.

00:46:06.820 That's what I always think.

00:46:07.800 So true, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:46:08.860 And I think social media has changed a lot about the entertainment industry as a whole.

00:46:11.880 I think it's for the better and for the worse in a lot of different ways.

00:46:15.580 Yeah.

00:46:15.780 But I feel like fighting it just makes you look terrible.

00:46:19.180 It just makes you.

00:46:20.140 Yeah, it makes you look so uppity.

00:46:21.680 I'm always like, what are you so mad for, girl?

00:46:23.420 I'm never going to turn my back on the internet.

00:46:24.980 Give me everything I have now.

00:46:26.260 Yeah, please.

00:46:27.020 So I'm like, I'm not too good for the internet.

00:46:29.080 Yeah.

00:46:29.560 But I'm good enough to be in this room, clearly, because we're both in there.

00:46:32.020 Yeah.

00:46:32.360 Hey.

00:46:33.000 Hey.

00:46:33.180 Don't think about us.

00:46:34.000 We're here together.

00:46:34.900 Yeah, I was like, that's crazy.

00:46:35.940 Yeah. 0.99

00:46:36.180 When that guy was talking shit to me at the Oscars, like, he was like, oh. 0.99

00:46:39.400 I'm like, that's so crazy. 1.00

00:46:40.280 You say that because I went into the show and where the fuck did you go, bitch? 1.00

00:46:43.220 Home? 1.00

00:46:45.780 Flummer.

00:46:46.400 He's like, oh, are you hitting now?

00:46:47.400 I was like, oh, no, I'm going into the show.

00:46:49.240 And he was like, oh, OK.

00:46:52.220 Oh.

00:46:52.720 Oh.

00:46:53.580 Funny how that works.

00:46:54.240 TikTok.

00:46:55.700 TikTok.

00:46:56.340 That's so crazy.

00:46:57.540 Social media.

00:46:58.480 Social media.

00:46:59.100 Yeah. 1.00

00:46:59.420 It sucks that, like, the whole stigma around it is, like, really gross and shitty. 0.98

00:47:04.560 And unfortunately, sometimes I do lean into that. 1.00

00:47:06.600 I'm like, yeah, fuck social media. 1.00

00:47:07.940 And it's like, what? 1.00

00:47:09.800 I know.

00:47:10.160 When I'm pissed off, I'll just be like, yeah, you're right.

00:47:12.640 No, of course.

00:47:13.320 Like, the algorithm.

00:47:14.500 Yeah.

00:47:14.900 Oh, God.

00:47:15.780 Like, I'm so quick to, like, get on that and try to be like, no, I hate it.

00:47:19.200 Oh, yeah.

00:47:19.220 When it fits my narrative, I'm all up in there, girl.

00:47:21.440 No, absolutely.

00:47:22.000 I'm blaming the algorithm for everything.

00:47:23.440 Yeah.

00:47:24.060 I'm like, oh, no.

00:47:25.120 Well, see, this is the problem with social media when it helps to propagate my worldview.

00:47:30.260 Yep.

00:47:30.500 Absolutely.

00:47:31.120 I'm going to use it.

00:47:31.560 Yeah.

00:47:31.900 I'm going to use it.

00:47:33.100 What are they going to be?

00:47:33.580 I'm going to use it.

00:47:34.680 At least I'm honest.

00:47:35.860 Yeah.

00:47:36.300 Right.

00:47:36.620 Right.

00:47:36.920 That's the other thing.

00:47:37.620 Yeah.

00:47:37.800 Okay, so let's get into the topic for today.

00:47:42.340 Okay.

00:47:42.640 Okay, so we're talking about sketch comedy versus stand-up comedy because obviously you've dabbled

00:47:46.180 in both.

00:47:46.900 Yeah.

00:47:47.120 And we're basically talking about how playing a character versus finding humor in your real

00:47:51.420 life, personal experiences, kind of the difference between the two.

00:47:53.840 And obviously, like, as women and women of color on the internet, plus in the industry. 0.52

00:47:59.480 Uh-oh.

00:48:00.620 Yikes.

00:48:00.980 The odds are stacked against us.

00:48:02.200 Big yikes.

00:48:03.020 Yeah.

00:48:03.760 Okay, so I'm going to read this first video to you.

00:48:06.620 So this one is, a female comedy creator makes a video with the caption, POV, your wellness 1.00

00:48:11.520 friend is too intense.

00:48:12.920 In the video, she plays the character of a woman who just went on a walk with her friend

00:48:16.740 and is now intensely telling her friend to take care of herself and eat turmeric, like

00:48:21.080 doing an intense wellness character check.

00:48:23.380 Like, she's basically like, oh, well, you should really try doing, like, one of those.

00:48:27.280 Yeah.

00:48:27.840 And, um, obviously, uh, men aren't big fans of women who are funny.

00:48:33.540 Right.

00:48:34.280 Do you ever, before I get into these comments, when you post your skits, do you ever have

00:48:38.460 people going like, I can't believe you're like this and nobody cares?

00:48:41.680 And you're like, girl, it's a joke.

00:48:44.660 Yes.

00:48:45.160 They're like, oh, you guys actually like this girl?

00:48:47.940 Like, what the, she's, I'm like.

00:48:50.260 Google a joke.

00:48:51.280 Yeah.

00:48:51.740 A joke.

00:48:52.500 See what, see what comes up.

00:48:53.580 Please.

00:48:54.140 Yeah.

00:48:54.740 Satire.

00:48:54.980 Study it.

00:48:55.660 Remember.

00:48:56.100 Comedy.

00:48:58.080 Characters.

00:48:58.880 Yeah.

00:48:59.440 Satire.

00:49:00.000 Joking.

00:49:00.780 Crazy how that works.

00:49:01.840 Crazy.

00:49:02.820 Yeah. 1.00

00:49:03.180 People are like, I can fucking, fucking can't stand this girl. 1.00

00:49:05.660 I'm like, I think that's the point, though. 0.99

00:49:07.500 Yeah.

00:49:07.720 Like, the character is insufferable.

00:49:09.740 So, yeah, me either.

00:49:11.980 It's just so weird.

00:49:13.060 Yeah.

00:49:13.280 People.

00:49:15.420 Yeah.

00:49:15.900 It's tough for people to sort of be like, is this real life?

00:49:19.160 Or, it's like a Black Mirror episode.

00:49:20.560 Yeah.

00:49:20.800 Even though you have a caption on there that says.

00:49:23.940 Fake.

00:49:24.580 The worst girl you know. 0.94

00:49:25.780 Yeah.

00:49:26.200 No, literally.

00:49:26.900 That's friends with your boyfriend.

00:49:27.340 Right.

00:49:27.720 Right.

00:49:27.960 Right.

00:49:28.060 Right.

00:49:28.160 Like, in big, bold letters. 1.00

00:49:29.260 Like, I fucking hate you. 1.00

00:49:30.220 Get away from my boyfriend. 1.00

00:49:32.100 If anyone was like this around my boyfriend, I would beat her up. 1.00

00:49:34.960 No. 0.98

00:49:35.220 Oh, that's the other thing. 0.99

00:49:36.040 They're like, if this happened to me, I would literally punch in the face.

00:49:40.440 And you're like, what are you, girl?

00:49:43.520 Okay.

00:49:44.140 Sit down.

00:49:44.800 Thank you.

00:49:45.140 Do what you gotta do.

00:49:45.500 Yeah, yeah.

00:49:45.860 Do what you gotta do.

00:49:46.560 That's weird.

00:49:47.200 Yeah.

00:49:48.260 Do what you gotta do, girl.

00:49:49.640 Thanks for the engagement.

00:49:51.700 Okay.

00:49:52.020 This comment says, as a guy, we would slap someone with this much possessiveness.

00:49:57.440 That's the wrong word for that, but okay.

00:49:59.900 Had to point that out.

00:50:00.720 Sorry.

00:50:01.420 No.

00:50:01.940 That's the Virgo in me.

00:50:04.500 Slap someone with this much possessiveness.

00:50:06.740 Okay. 0.61

00:50:07.180 Well. 1.00

00:50:08.400 See, I think when men resort to like, I'm gonna punch you in the fucking face. 1.00

00:50:12.500 Yeah. 1.00

00:50:12.920 You have a problem.

00:50:13.740 Yeah.

00:50:14.100 That's your solution to everything?

00:50:15.660 And have you ever punched someone in the face?

00:50:17.520 I doubt it.

00:50:18.200 Great question.

00:50:19.320 Great question.

00:50:19.960 When's the last time you punched someone in the face?

00:50:21.220 Yeah.

00:50:21.480 You doubt it.

00:50:22.860 I doubt it.

00:50:23.140 When's the last one?

00:50:24.100 Yeah, yeah.

00:50:24.560 Yeah.

00:50:25.180 It's giving very like, junior high.

00:50:27.740 Yeah.

00:50:28.080 Yeah. 0.99

00:50:28.660 It's very like, oh, I'm gonna punch you in the face. 0.98

00:50:32.840 And then like, when you just said, it's like, what? 0.99

00:50:34.920 Do you get a lot of hate?

00:50:36.100 Do you ever get hate?

00:50:36.620 Yeah.

00:50:37.120 Oh, every day.

00:50:37.900 All the time?

00:50:38.360 All the time.

00:50:38.960 Every day.

00:50:39.520 Is it just senseless?

00:50:40.480 Or is it about like, the character mostly?

00:50:44.120 It's a mix of both.

00:50:45.180 It's a lot of times, it's the character, which is also just, whatever.

00:50:49.680 It's just like, well, let's all use our brains.

00:50:51.920 Yeah.

00:50:52.180 Let's use our brains.

00:50:53.160 It's a joke.

00:50:53.980 Yeah.

00:50:54.440 It's a post.

00:50:55.160 I'm not like that in real life.

00:50:56.520 Right.

00:50:57.100 Thank you.

00:50:57.940 Thank you.

00:50:58.740 Thank you.

00:50:59.000 So, um, but, um, a lot of times it'll be from like, specifically like, men who comment

00:51:08.840 on my stuff.

00:51:09.380 It's a lot to do with like, my physical appearance.

00:51:12.160 And I, one time somebody commented on my, one of my popular girl videos and it was like,

00:51:18.440 I thought the popular girl was supposed to be pretty or like, supposed to be like hot or 1.00

00:51:22.320 something.

00:51:22.920 Okay.

00:51:23.300 And I was like, okay.

00:51:24.160 And I clicked on this thing and in his bio, I wish I screenshotted it to this day.

00:51:28.420 Cause it was like, um, proudly a high school counselor.

00:51:33.840 Like, I was like, what?

00:51:36.260 Oh, what?

00:51:37.680 He's like actively working at a high school.

00:51:40.100 Yes. 1.00

00:51:40.360 And commonly, I think you should want to fuck the girl. 1.00

00:51:44.500 You're like, hold on. 1.00

00:51:45.300 You're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:51:46.500 Hold on a second.

00:51:47.120 And I responded something back, like saying that he was like some high school counselor

00:51:52.200 and he like deleted his thing and I can never find him again.

00:51:54.280 And I'm, it is, it haunts me to this day.

00:51:57.460 Cause I want his full name, full government name.

00:52:00.240 I need to know.

00:52:01.280 Cause that's crazy.

00:52:02.860 Crazy.

00:52:03.600 Like, is that insane? 0.96

00:52:05.100 What are you doing?

00:52:06.040 Dude, girl, I'm scared. 1.00

00:52:07.460 And I feel like I normally personally want to fuck the most popular girl in the high school 1.00

00:52:11.660 I work at. 0.99

00:52:12.840 So this is clearly inaccurate.

00:52:15.000 Right. 0.99

00:52:15.280 What the fuck are you talking about, man? 1.00

00:52:16.920 I personally want to fuck all the popular girls. 1.00

00:52:19.040 Like, what are you talking about? 1.00

00:52:21.060 What?

00:52:21.400 Yeah.

00:52:21.600 No, scary.

00:52:22.720 You should be talking to a policeman.

00:52:24.200 Yeah.

00:52:24.520 Yeah.

00:52:24.980 But I hope he is.

00:52:25.820 Hopefully, hopefully somebody back gets him.

00:52:28.600 Yeah.

00:52:28.920 It's crazy.

00:52:29.660 So I got a comment once from a guy who was talking about my body.

00:52:33.600 Love that.

00:52:34.540 Love, love, love, love that. 0.98

00:52:36.960 And they were, he was basically saying like that I was gross to look at like fat and gross 0.97

00:52:42.140 and my body's disgusting, whatever. 0.83

00:52:43.760 Like, wrote a very colorful comment to that, of that nature.

00:52:47.120 And then I went on his profile and it said, proud girl dad in the bio.

00:52:51.740 And he had lots of content with his daughter and his daughter's like nine, 10.

00:52:55.280 Oh.

00:52:55.680 And then I was like, you know, it's crazy.

00:52:57.680 I said, oh, you know what?

00:52:58.580 I'm really glad you're a girl dad.

00:53:00.480 Yeah.

00:53:00.860 I'm glad to know that you're a girl dad.

00:53:02.640 And I hope that no one ever talks about your daughter's body the way that you talked about

00:53:06.260 mine.

00:53:06.540 And I hope she knows that you do that in your free time.

00:53:08.480 Yes.

00:53:08.740 Oh God. 0.99

00:53:09.440 And then he wrote, he wrote back this fucking, he wrote back like 12 comments. 0.99

00:53:13.560 Well, first of all, what does my kid have to do with this? 1.00

00:53:16.620 Well, it has to do with everything, bitch. 1.00

00:53:17.720 Cause you're commenting on women's bodies, right? 1.00

00:53:19.740 Women's bodies and you have a daughter. 1.00

00:53:21.740 That you're a proud girl dad. 1.00

00:53:22.840 He goes, my, my daughter's never going to be a fucking whore. 1.00

00:53:25.280 That's what he said. 1.00

00:53:26.440 Huh?

00:53:27.300 Oh.

00:53:27.900 Hey.

00:53:28.160 Ow, ow, ow. 1.00

00:53:28.760 Yeah.

00:53:28.880 Where'd we go?

00:53:29.620 Hey.

00:53:29.720 Woke up, I'm in the forest.

00:53:33.360 What happened?

00:53:33.940 Whoa.

00:53:34.420 I was like, we lost the plot real quick.

00:53:36.600 Dark. 0.73

00:53:37.080 That's crazy.

00:53:38.100 Really crazy. 0.99

00:53:38.780 And I was like, what does me being a whore allegedly have to do with you having a daughter? 1.00

00:53:44.820 Like what is, what's the correlation? 0.99

00:53:46.880 Yeah.

00:53:47.340 First of all.

00:53:48.220 Oh God.

00:53:48.600 He started writing again and I blocked him.

00:53:50.420 I love doing that.

00:53:51.280 Good.

00:53:51.680 I love writing something mean.

00:53:52.960 And then they write, they're like, yeah, they write a response and then they, they put one

00:53:57.220 at the end and then as soon as they're about to send another one, I block it.

00:54:01.440 I do it every time.

00:54:02.300 I love it.

00:54:02.900 I'll slam.

00:54:03.660 What?

00:54:04.280 Yeah. 1.00

00:54:04.820 I slam that door in your face, bitch. 1.00

00:54:06.300 Oh, please. 1.00

00:54:06.840 No, good, good.

00:54:08.320 That is crazy.

00:54:09.960 That's crazy. 0.99

00:54:10.480 I get shit like that all the time. 1.00

00:54:11.500 Sometimes I'll get men saying shit, like saying really, really, really fucking disgusting 1.00

00:54:15.740 things about me, whether it's looks, whatever. 1.00

00:54:18.480 Yeah.

00:54:18.660 And then I'll look and see that they're like, taken.

00:54:22.020 And then I do a lot of research and I find their girlfriend.

00:54:25.500 Of course.

00:54:26.120 And then I'll write back to them.

00:54:27.460 Does your girlfriend know that you objectify or Google other women on the internet?

00:54:30.680 If not, should I tell her?

00:54:31.860 Yeah.

00:54:32.620 Cause I'm, I will.

00:54:34.020 Sometimes they're like, they're like, I don't even know what you're talking about. 0.99

00:54:36.840 And then I will literally screenshot that and I'll DM it to that bitch. 1.00

00:54:40.300 And I'll be like, Hey, you don't know me, but, uh, your boyfriend is saying shit like 1.00

00:54:43.800 this to women on the internet. 1.00

00:54:44.620 If my man was doing that, I would want someone to tell me.

00:54:47.000 Yeah.

00:54:47.100 Yeah.

00:54:47.280 Yeah.

00:54:47.440 So I figure it's my obligation to tell you.

00:54:49.380 I can't even tell you how many times I've sent that exact message.

00:54:51.440 No, you are doing the Lord's work. 1.00

00:54:53.280 I've blown up relationships left and right, bitch. 1.00

00:54:55.340 Yes. 1.00

00:54:55.820 And you continue to do so.

00:54:57.140 Please. 0.97

00:54:57.520 Blow holes in them. 0.95

00:54:58.120 That is great.

00:54:59.580 That is really good work.

00:55:01.060 I'm telling you, you're helping the needy.

00:55:02.700 Like that is really crazy.

00:55:04.200 I did get one hand comment the other day that, that actually kind of made me laugh.

00:55:07.300 Cause this guy was like, he just wrote, go to the gym, chunko.

00:55:11.020 And I was like, Hey, you know what?

00:55:14.700 Hey, you know what?

00:55:15.380 You kind of ate me up with that one.

00:55:16.660 That's funny.

00:55:17.620 Chunko. 1.00

00:55:18.260 You kind of ate me up with that.

00:55:19.340 Somebody one time called me chubby.

00:56:46.740 Yeah.

00:56:47.820 Wait, what?

00:56:49.480 I don't know how that correlates.

00:56:53.400 So.

00:56:54.360 Wellness.

00:56:54.940 The wellness to gay pipeline.

00:56:56.480 I'm not very familiar.

00:56:58.100 Neither am I.

00:56:59.040 As someone who is a devout ally to the community, I'm not, I can't see that pipeline.

00:57:04.880 Yeah.

00:57:05.060 I don't, I don't, I don't see it.

00:57:07.280 So.

00:57:07.740 Most of my team is lesbians. 1.00

00:57:09.220 So. 0.88

00:57:09.360 Right.

00:57:09.640 I'll have to confer with the council.

00:57:12.000 Yeah.

00:57:12.280 I'll confirm with the council.

00:57:13.820 I'll confirm with them.

00:57:14.600 Yeah.

00:57:14.780 Yeah.

00:57:15.500 Whether or not there's a.

00:57:16.540 Get back to me on that because I'm confused.

00:57:18.680 Yeah.

00:57:19.040 I'm not an expert.

00:57:20.040 So.

00:57:20.160 Is there a pipeline there?

00:57:21.080 Because if not, I feel a little out of the loop. 0.97

00:57:23.280 I was like, is she just gay for you? 0.96

00:57:26.200 Well. 0.91

00:57:27.520 I mean, I think that's unrelated.

00:57:29.300 I think it's unrelated.

00:57:30.300 That's what I'm like. 0.99

00:57:30.660 The funniest part is like, she's just fucking annoying. 1.00

00:57:33.960 Like that's, that's the joke. 0.99

00:57:35.580 Right.

00:57:35.940 The joke is, um, the person is annoying.

00:57:38.900 That's the joke.

00:57:40.000 Ha ha.

00:57:41.100 Let's all laugh.

00:57:41.980 Let's all laugh and move on.

00:57:43.620 Oh my God.

00:57:44.720 People are exhausted.

00:57:45.520 I can only imagine how exhausting it is to do like sketch comedy like that and then have

00:57:49.400 people take it so literally.

00:57:51.520 Yeah.

00:57:51.920 Brett kind of told me a little bit about that too.

00:57:53.840 Yeah.

00:57:54.340 It's so crazy.

00:57:55.220 You know, and Brett gets it like a lot too.

00:57:57.960 Yeah.

00:57:58.620 He is so good at just being like, he's such a good actor.

00:58:02.520 Yeah.

00:58:02.620 And in his videos, it's like, oh, this is you.

00:58:05.540 And that's funny because you're acting so well.

00:58:07.660 But people were like, what?

00:58:09.440 Everyone's like, you sound like a bad person.

00:58:11.760 Yeah.

00:58:14.740 Yeah.

00:58:15.200 Like it's, that's how I feel about yours.

00:58:17.300 Like your popular girls kids do so, do well, so well too.

00:58:20.280 And people, most, most people are like, this is so funny.

00:58:23.280 I knew a girl like this or I was this person.

00:58:25.320 Right.

00:58:25.660 But there's a lot of people that are like, this person is rude.

00:58:30.000 Yeah.

00:58:30.540 They're like, who would actually do something like this?

00:58:33.200 Like get her off campus. 0.59

00:58:34.640 I'm like, oh, girl, I'm in my living room.

00:58:37.960 I'm in the ring light by myself.

00:58:39.880 You just so happen to catch that?

00:58:41.400 Yeah.

00:58:41.680 Yeah.

00:58:42.320 Let's get me help first of all.

00:58:43.940 Yeah.

00:58:44.160 But I'm not on campus.

00:58:46.040 Like it's so, it's so interesting.

00:58:49.160 It's really weird.

00:58:49.800 I would love to just like live a day in one of those minds just to like.

00:58:53.200 Where everything is so incredibly literal.

00:58:55.100 Yeah.

00:58:55.560 Oh.

00:58:56.200 I can't imagine.

00:58:57.000 It must be exhausting first of all.

00:58:58.060 No, for real.

00:58:58.740 I'm like, aren't you tired?

00:59:00.040 Yeah.

00:59:00.520 Do you need a nap?

00:59:01.380 Are you so tired being so incredibly concerned about every person you see on the internet?

00:59:06.380 About everything.

00:59:07.100 Oh, girl.

00:59:07.460 Like they're so chronically online and they're the first people to call out.

00:59:11.020 People are like, you're so chronically online.

00:59:13.100 Yeah, exactly.

00:59:13.940 Like get touch grass.

00:59:14.340 It's like, what are you doing here?

00:59:16.280 You're on every video.

00:59:17.880 Yeah.

00:59:18.240 Come on.

00:59:18.660 Let's do it together.

00:59:19.360 Yeah.

00:59:19.620 Let's walk outside together.

00:59:20.400 It'll be good for us.

00:59:22.240 It'll be good.

00:59:23.400 Okay.

00:59:23.840 So just to wrap, right?

00:59:25.560 Obviously you've been in the game for a while now, both like off social media and now that

00:59:29.360 you're social media, you've married the two.

00:59:31.160 So what's your best piece of advice for people who are like aspiring actors, aspiring, you

00:59:36.880 know, sketch comedy writers or standup comedians, what have you? 0.99

00:59:42.680 I honestly think just like the, it sounds so cliche and stupid, but it's like, just fucking 0.99

00:59:48.280 go for it. 1.00

00:59:49.280 Yeah.

00:59:49.560 Just do it.

00:59:50.040 Make fun of yourself.

00:59:50.960 Make fun of others, like in a loving way, obviously.

00:59:54.580 Yeah.

00:59:54.920 But it's just like, unless you're me and there's no love, no love.

00:59:59.560 No, first of all.

01:00:00.660 Got to be that clear.

01:00:02.700 But yeah, just have fun too.

01:00:06.640 I think like there's been so many times where I've spent months writing and performing things

01:00:12.540 that I thought other people wanted me to perform and write and I was so miserable and

01:00:17.000 I didn't believe in anything and just getting back to like getting grounded again and being

01:00:21.960 trying to be authentic and genuine to what I think is funny, producing things that I am

01:00:26.600 proud of regardless of how it performs is what keeps me sane.

01:00:30.240 Oh, that's so great.

01:00:31.160 Sincerely.

01:00:31.180 Oh, that's so great. 0.91

01:00:31.640 An insane person. 0.89

01:00:33.220 Yeah. 0.91

01:00:34.060 But it's true. 0.99

01:00:35.080 Like just, you know, if you believe in it, let's, you know, let's fucking party. 0.99

01:00:38.960 Yeah. 0.96

01:00:39.440 That's, that's honestly, that's so real.

01:00:41.460 Yeah.

01:00:41.620 Especially caring about like how it performs as a measure of whether or not you're good

01:00:46.300 or talented.

01:00:47.240 No, of course.

01:00:47.800 I get so, so caught up in that, um, especially on social media, especially cause it's right

01:00:52.940 there.

01:00:53.460 It's in literal numbers.

01:00:54.920 Like you can count measured actually, actually like how funny or valuable you are to the public.

01:01:02.720 Like totally it's, um, which is so inaccurate and just unfair sometimes.

01:01:07.380 But, um, but yeah, that's, that's what I would say.

01:01:10.740 I think period.
