00:03:22.660 Oh, well.

00:03:24.400 Oh, maybe.

00:03:25.180 God, can you send me another sign?

00:03:26.360 Maybe you got me mixed up with someone else.

00:03:28.580 Wait, hold on.

00:03:29.420 Maybe I saw someone else's sign.

00:03:30.320 Yeah, maybe I read the wrong sign.

00:03:32.420 It was like so like genuine clear as day.

00:03:34.440 I'm like, no, it is, but maybe that's not my sign.

00:03:36.620 I don't know.

00:03:37.440 No, that can't be my sign.

00:03:38.620 It cannot be my sign.

00:03:39.700 You can show me another sign.

00:03:40.820 Look at me.

00:03:41.660 It can't be my sign.

00:03:43.200 I know, me too.

00:03:44.040 I'm like, there's no way.

00:03:45.500 There's no way.

00:03:46.520 It would not make sense.

00:03:47.580 Well, speaking of, besides signs, how have you been?

00:03:50.460 I've been good.

00:03:51.520 Life has been crazy.

00:03:52.740 Yes.

00:03:53.180 But good crazy.

00:03:54.180 Yeah, amazing crazy.

00:03:55.240 Yeah, amazing crazy.

00:03:56.180 How are you?

00:03:56.520 You just got married.

00:03:57.380 I did.

00:03:57.960 I did just get married.

00:03:59.140 Does it feel crazy to say husband?

00:04:01.200 It does, but it also feels kind of, it feels better because I was getting over fiance.

00:04:06.640 I was kind of over that.

00:04:07.520 That's fair.

00:04:08.000 I've been a girlfriend for nine years.

00:04:09.860 Well, I was a girlfriend for seven and a half before I got engaged.

00:04:13.040 Okay.

00:04:13.360 So I get that.

00:04:14.080 You get it.

00:04:14.600 Yeah, I get like, well, first of all, I get not rushing, first of all, because there's

00:04:19.300 nowhere to go.

00:04:20.600 Nowhere to go, baby.

00:04:21.420 If we know, no reason to rush.

00:04:23.860 That's how I feel about it.

00:04:24.860 But also.

00:04:26.260 Sorry, I have fleas.

00:04:28.860 Well, I'm glad to hear you were in a long-term relationship, too, just like me.

00:04:32.060 Yes, exactly.

00:04:33.000 We started at 16, too.

00:04:34.460 So everyone's like, when are you getting married?

00:04:35.600 I'm like, well, pipe down.

00:04:36.640 You know what I mean?

00:04:36.940 Right, yeah.

00:04:37.220 I just got here.

00:04:38.080 I know.

00:04:38.440 I feel the same way, because we got together when I was 21, like freshly 21.

00:04:42.540 Right.

00:04:42.780 so i'm like i didn't want to get married at 24 yeah no way no well i'm happy to hear that i'm

00:04:48.300 sure you'll be happy to move to the next phase of we're at like play thing i call him play thing

00:04:53.340 you know what i mean right um because partner he's like people are gonna think you're gay i'm like

00:04:57.540 baby that's not why they think i'm gay that's the least of their concerns i know i started saying

00:05:05.300 husband really early like because i was engaged for two years because next year we'll be together

00:05:09.440 for 10 so i was like start calling my husband like last year because i was like i'm over it

00:05:14.440 right whatever whatever and the people were like you got married and i was like who knows

00:05:17.880 but i want to talk about you i want to talk about how you first got into social media i obviously

00:05:25.980 know your lore with the lore acts specifically uh but i would love to know how you got into it

00:05:31.600 like what you really wanted to do where you started all of that fun stuff yeah it was last

00:05:35.340 it was August 1st, I posted, I was like super sick,

00:05:39.400 I posted the Hamilton trend, I don't know if you saw.

00:05:42.240 Which one?

00:05:43.860 Lin-Manuel Miranda, it must be Spanish.

00:05:47.500 And it was like the sneaking out the window.

00:05:50.400 Oh yes, yes, yes, yes.

00:05:51.660 So I did that and then that blew up

00:05:54.720 and so I kept cosplaying basically as Lin as Hamilton.

00:05:59.240 And then I was like, oh, I don't want to only be known

00:06:01.580 as Lin-Manuel Miranda's body double.

00:06:04.700 And so I was like, I'm gonna quickly do a costume gag.

00:06:08.800 And so, and all the while I was working my full-time job

00:06:12.520 as a graphic designer remotely in Virginia.

00:06:15.460 Right.

00:06:16.360 And so literally on my lunch breaks,

00:06:17.600 I would go live as Hamilton

00:06:20.080 and like address the allegations of me cheating

00:06:22.060 on my wife.

00:06:22.900 It was a hoot.

00:06:24.320 And then to kind of avoid getting stuck in that trend,

00:06:28.520 I dressed up as like Pitbull.

00:06:30.020 I did a live as him.

00:06:31.180 Nice.

00:06:32.020 And then to avoid getting stuck as that

00:06:33.880 because people love that I did the Lorax.

00:06:35.620 And that was like, that was crazy.

00:06:40.260 And yeah, I did that for maybe like two months

00:06:44.540 of like lives and videos as him.

00:06:46.040 And then again, same strategy that I just started to do

00:06:48.820 like surprise character lives and dress up

00:06:50.980 and then slowly like introducing Ashby into it.

00:06:55.680 And thank God, could you imagine they're like,

00:06:57.320 eh, put the costume back on.

00:06:58.400 And they're like, well, she's actually funnier

00:07:00.200 when she's like, I like how most of them were men.

00:07:03.200 you're so me the gag is i just had some introspection white girl introspects um first

00:07:08.580 time in the shower and i was like i think i'm always so frustrated that some of my jokes

00:07:13.220 that would work if a man said it don't work if i say it just because they're a man it's very

00:07:17.520 annoying trust me but then i'm like oh why do i always dress up as men because i think i'm funnier

00:07:21.300 as a man that's one of those you're like i'll come back to it no it's scary i'm like i and

00:07:28.380 That's one of those where you're like, and I'm going to come back to that thought.

00:07:31.080 I hear you.

00:07:31.760 Now it's not the time.

00:07:32.140 I hear you.

00:07:32.940 Not now.

00:07:34.020 I'm butt naked in the shower.

00:07:35.160 Yeah, I'm going through a lot right now, so now it's not the time.

00:07:36.880 Yeah, we're not going to dissect that.

00:07:38.500 So maybe, maybe.

00:07:39.520 We'll get there.

00:07:40.220 Interesting.

00:07:40.940 Yeah.

00:07:41.300 I feel that.

00:07:42.240 I mean, that's fair.

00:07:43.060 I recently said something that I was like, I should unpack that, where I was like, I talked

00:07:48.040 about how sometimes when I want to articulate different thoughts that are more serious,

00:07:52.960 i like to write them because i feel like if i say them there's a a prejudice that happens first

00:07:59.900 so i'm like you guys will actually listen to me if i write it because and i write it on something

00:08:04.160 blank with nothing to inspire you to feel judgmental of the thought does that make sense

00:08:09.360 yeah totally so that like i'm sorry it didn't make sense to me i'm sorry i lied i'm so sorry

00:08:13.720 i like well basically i really just feel like they take it more seriously because it's not

00:08:17.920 coming out of my face they can like read it and then they'll take me more seriously by proxy

00:08:22.040 right because they already know me as someone i mean i'm sure that's like their psychology behind

00:08:25.760 like if it's your inner voice reading it or whatever you know what i mean yeah that's one

00:08:29.540 of those where i'm like i'm dyslexic so i'm like what the fuck did she just say

00:08:32.720 that's one of those thoughts i have where when i'm like oh i shouldn't pack that yeah and then

00:08:38.920 and then part of me goes that's probably a man's fault and then i feel better right that part

00:08:42.880 yeah i'm like someone did it and it wasn't me so i do want to know about your history obviously

00:08:48.540 you said you were a graphic designer but i'm curious did you do theater did you like really

00:08:53.300 want to be in entertainment was any of that in your in your kind of dreams yeah i grew up i grew

00:08:57.820 up in in washington dc huge theater scene and i grew up training for like broadway that was like

00:09:03.080 the thing and that's just hard by the way like aside from like the orgies in theater class like

00:09:07.500 because that's a thing by the way besides that incest that goes on weird shit that goes on

00:09:11.120 people are like they they train their asses off you have to be good at everything you can't just

00:09:15.320 You have to do ballet and jazz.

00:09:17.260 You have to do tap and stage combat

00:09:19.380 and stage intimacy class.

00:09:21.140 It's the weirdest shit.

00:09:21.920 Anyway, so I was doing that whole thing my whole life

00:09:25.020 and skipping school.

00:09:26.320 My parents would drive me up to New York

00:09:27.820 for Broadway auditions.

00:09:30.420 And then when I was like,

00:09:31.260 oh, please let me go to college for this.

00:09:32.680 They were like,

00:09:34.760 I thought this was a hobby.

00:09:35.840 Yeah.

00:09:36.680 What?

00:09:37.520 You're just like that.

00:09:38.360 What about this made you think it was a hobby?

00:09:40.260 Psyche.

00:09:42.220 And then, so I went to school.

00:09:44.020 My first semester, I went for criminal justice.

00:09:46.320 Right, interesting.

00:09:47.380 Right, no tap there.

00:09:49.200 I was like, what the hell, where is all the,

00:09:50.340 where is my tap?

00:09:51.020 Where is the stage combat?

00:09:52.080 What do you mean I can't tap in the courtroom?

00:09:53.400 What do you mean?

00:09:54.760 And I lasted a semester doing that

00:09:58.460 and then I switched to graphic design.

00:10:00.020 And that later developed, I got my degree in that,

00:10:02.800 later developed in working on sets

00:10:04.140 as a production designer.

00:10:05.140 Cool.

00:10:05.980 Like a PA.

00:10:06.820 You still get to be creative.

00:10:07.600 Yeah, I was still creative,

00:10:08.920 but I was definitely trying to inch my way

00:10:10.920 toward being able to act again.

00:10:12.580 yeah like in the right it's just so hard to break in like for real you know when you stopped I

00:10:17.060 stopped at like 17 everyone you know all your peers kept going you know what I mean so it's

00:10:22.260 a train and they're they stayed on it it's hard to get back on so that's cool though that you're

00:10:27.220 trained in so many facets of art so like when the door opened I was like oh I can tap yeah and you

00:10:32.640 love character work love character which I think is really fun it's so fun what would be like a

00:10:37.120 dream for you in terms of like would you want to write your own kind of sketch show or is there

00:10:42.000 would you want to be in a show or are you just kind of like whoever will take me who genuinely

00:10:45.940 will take me and not even for a check i'm like i just need a room you know what i mean i just need

00:10:49.700 some water 10 minutes of your time right turn me out i don't know i feel like i i'm i'm in the

00:10:55.780 it'll happen so quickly so i couldn't even figure out it was two weeks after i posted my first video

00:11:02.380 i was in new york taking meetings and that was like what do you mean yeah and they were all

00:11:06.720 asking me like you know where do you see yourself in five years what do you want out of this i

00:11:09.720 I literally genuinely did not know,

00:11:11.100 because I won everything, you know what I mean?

00:11:13.460 Because I had so many dreams,

00:11:14.980 and now I can kind of like bring them back up.

00:11:16.640 So it's kind of whatever sticks first.

00:11:18.940 I'd love to be in like a sitcom show.

00:11:21.400 I'd love to be in O'Mary on Broadway.

00:11:25.160 You know, literally whatever, oh, it'd be so good.

00:11:28.420 Or in like SNL and everything like that.

00:11:30.020 Yeah, and so I think you would thrive there.

00:11:31.680 I had the opportunity to audition for that

00:11:33.280 a few months ago.

00:11:34.400 Obviously, you know, it didn't pan out,

00:11:35.980 because I'm here in a Thing 2 costume.

00:11:38.000 not New York

00:11:39.620 I say that all the time too

00:11:40.740 I'm like when I make it big

00:11:41.980 trust and believe

00:11:42.680 you will not see me here

00:11:43.760 you won't see me

00:11:44.160 but yeah it's just like

00:11:48.780 it's so cool to be

00:11:51.200 I always thought

00:11:52.400 I was gonna stay a dreamer

00:11:53.920 which I was you know

00:11:55.180 very happy to be

00:11:56.120 because I think that's

00:11:56.960 a very whimsical way to live

00:11:58.380 but it's a blessing

00:11:59.820 to be like a working dreamer

00:12:01.540 hell yeah

00:12:02.220 yeah crazy

00:12:02.760 we feel like

00:12:03.360 especially I feel like

00:12:04.620 that's something I talk about

00:12:05.740 a lot with online people

00:12:07.540 especially because as evil and twisted as the internet has crazy they are insane as evil and

00:12:13.820 twisted as the internet has become I've also feel very thankful to the internet because I feel like

00:12:20.340 for people like you and I I've said this before I feel like it's given us the opportunity to pursue

00:12:25.600 like yeah whereas like otherwise we probably wouldn't have found those opportunities if we

00:12:29.260 didn't make them ourselves totally so I think it's incredible that you were like fuck it I'm

00:12:33.340 gonna do character work it's crazy and it's so cool that there's a space being carved out

00:12:37.420 yeah and there is like more legitimacy behind it like i think i agree bitch i'm the first one to

00:12:42.360 be like what do you mean you create content like pipe down um especially coming from the

00:12:46.760 entertainment industry like i work you know as pa and on set and everything so i'm like okay sure

00:12:51.080 you you know make videos but now there is there are you know i'm in rooms with executives that

00:12:56.480 genuinely take me seriously right i'm obviously not dressed like this when i do that i'm like

00:13:00.260 All right, hear me out.

00:13:01.100 Or are you, and that's just the gag.

00:13:02.900 Ooh, and they're like, what the fuck?

00:13:04.580 And the gag is, they're still 80-year-old white men,

00:13:07.760 like decrepit men making decisions,

00:13:10.460 and so, but it's starting to change.

00:13:13.500 Absolutely, and I feel like people like yourself

00:13:16.540 and like me are the reason why that starts to happen

00:13:19.380 is because there is a lot of untapped talent

00:13:22.260 that doesn't get recognized on a national stage

00:13:25.780 unless you have a connection of some kind.

00:13:29.020 And I think that's something I've said before too,

00:13:30.840 where I'm like, I really didn't like get to a point

00:13:33.320 where they were like, you know what?

00:13:34.120 I think this girl has something.

00:13:35.620 It got to the point where we just get too big to ignore.

00:13:39.100 And then they're like, well, there's something here.

00:13:40.840 There's something here maybe I should tell.

00:13:41.900 Okay, fine.

00:13:42.720 Fine, I'll hire the Lorax, fine.

00:13:44.340 Get her in the office, fine.

00:13:45.620 Fine.

00:13:46.840 Sorry guys, had to ditch the turtle head.

00:13:48.380 I'm having a panic attack.

00:13:51.720 Sorry guys, had to ditch it.

00:13:53.380 And I'm like, I'm sure Ashby's gonna ditch that wig soon too.

00:13:55.860 Cause she keeps going, what wig?

00:13:59.020 oh easy stroke of the book okay what um speaking of early career what was like the first

00:14:05.960 like a moment that happened where you kind of felt like oh my god this is like maybe turning

00:14:11.060 into something that i can really like take this somewhere i don't know i mean i i feel like tiktok

00:14:16.820 has changed into that like i was watching grace grace's episode and she commented on how um like

00:14:24.080 views don't equal follows nowadays you know what i mean it's true and so the hamilton videos that

00:14:28.300 that I was posting were going up in views,

00:14:30.980 but also in follows.

00:14:31.820 And I was like, oh, like people, what the hell?

00:14:33.300 People like me, what the hell?

00:14:35.460 Maybe I won't kill myself, all right.

00:14:37.660 And so-

00:14:38.500 Never kill yourself.

00:14:39.340 No, and don't do it.

00:14:40.180 You're too hot, you're too sexy.

00:14:41.020 Never, ever, ever do it.

00:14:42.460 Dress up as Lin-Manuel Miranda.

00:14:43.900 Right, right, right.

00:14:47.020 And so I was like, okay, there's something there

00:14:50.340 in terms of like connection to audience.

00:14:52.780 And then Disney reached out and they were like,

00:14:54.980 we want you to work the press line, which I'm like,

00:14:57.600 how do you know I won't say a slur, right?

00:14:59.220 Like how do you know I won't say a slur?

00:15:00.220 Me always.

00:15:01.060 I obviously would never.

00:15:01.900 Me every time they hire me.

00:15:04.420 I'm like, okay, but you never know.

00:15:05.980 Left and right.

00:15:06.960 But I really was like, interesting move.

00:15:09.320 You know what I mean?

00:15:10.160 I was like, they don't know me, I don't know them.

00:15:13.260 And thank God I was good at it for both of us

00:15:16.320 because it opened doors for me to do more press junkets

00:15:18.640 and press lines and stuff.

00:15:19.600 Very cool.

00:15:20.440 And also like mix in character comedy too.

00:15:22.300 So I feel like I realized early on

00:15:24.660 just because I had never seen that happen before.

00:15:27.420 right but it was very it was bad for the psyche you know what i mean like not great for my there

00:15:32.080 are quite a few things that i've done in my career too doing this where i'm like when i'm in the room

00:15:37.540 i'm like you guys are crazy yeah i'm like oh my god you guys hearing yourself right now um you

00:15:44.160 guys want to hire me okay it's actually insane i mean but i never know what's real anymore because

00:15:49.000 i no one hates me more than me you know it's like no no one we gotta work on that i know no one

00:15:55.320 thinks I'm worse at what I do than than me and and that's I don't think that'll ever go away

00:16:00.580 um everyone got sad what happened you got a little depressing I thought you were having a fun time

00:16:06.580 um but but so it's a lot of like imposter syndrome where I will be in those room and I'm like I can't

00:16:12.100 discern whether or not I'm right and you guys are crazy and believing in me or I just don't believe

00:16:16.680 myself right so yeah I gotta work on that I think they do believe in you they clearly see something

00:16:23.020 that's of value and obviously everybody does so i think you i think you are incredible and i think

00:16:27.820 it is imposter syndrome but i also think that's natural i think only women ever feel that minority

00:16:32.460 people only are the only ones who ever feel that in this industry especially yeah i feel like we're

00:16:36.280 the only ones who doubt because we're always questioned about it right and we have to try to

00:16:40.180 prove it in a weird way so well and especially the way that we came into this industry too which is

00:16:45.060 like we were living very normal lives and like i i say that all the time i'm actually really grateful

00:16:49.200 that I went to college graduated had a normal job really because college you know college

00:16:54.480 education or standard education is not necessary at all yeah I agree I said you need to do to be

00:16:59.160 a developed person and in any way but for me I valued so much of it I took so much and I

00:17:05.400 you know who I am I think I needed those like added social skills and added like deadlines and

00:17:11.320 you know to be on time for things and just like the little things that you learn not even like

00:17:15.040 the curriculum yeah um i agree and i definitely meet certain people where i'm like i feel like

00:17:19.520 you actually could have benefited from that not i mean sometimes i'm like you gotta read a book

00:17:23.900 you have to read a book um but other times especially in this industry what do you mean

00:17:29.180 yeah um yeah and so i yeah i'm definitely glad it happened when it happened me too i think earlier i

00:17:36.060 agree yeah you could not catch me at charlie d'amelio time in my life i would have been a

00:17:41.020 shooting starved me i just put three fingers in my mouth by the way i was like

00:17:45.660 dixie d'amelio followed me for a while and then unfollowed me i don't know what that was

00:17:53.020 dixie i'm so sorry if i offended you and some sometimes i just want to be happy

00:17:58.280 that's maybe that's why she unfollowed me we were doing two different things

00:18:02.240 we were both workshopping two different bits at the same time

00:18:06.260 right i i feel the same way about about that especially meeting people in this industry

00:18:11.940 and you're like you could have benefited from college i think the same thing yeah you could

00:18:15.900 have benefited from college and a real job right before this happened right uh because you working

00:18:21.720 press lines and stuff i'm so curious i'm sure you've noticed there are some celebs i talk to

00:18:26.500 where i'm like i don't think you've ever spoken to a human person ever yeah or they're just so

00:18:31.740 PR trained that they're like plasticky

00:18:34.320 and I'm like yeah like I say lobotomized

00:18:36.160 they feel like robots but like I've

00:18:38.240 met specifically um the

00:18:40.120 men which is so interesting yeah I feel like

00:18:42.200 the women are a little more plasticky

00:18:44.040 but the men are

00:18:45.700 like overly charismatic to the

00:18:48.140 point where I'm like do you know you're here right now

00:18:50.000 like they'll be saying things and they're like

00:18:51.620 you know what you're doing is amazing I love

00:18:54.140 what you're doing and you seem so incredible

00:18:55.960 and I'm like yeah you're scaring me

00:18:57.700 whereas like the women are more like composed

00:19:00.100 and a little more lobotomized.

00:19:01.260 But the men are almost like scarily charismatic

00:19:03.520 to the point-

00:19:04.440 Where it feels strange.

00:19:05.780 Yeah, I don't know.

00:19:06.260 Because it doesn't feel real.

00:19:07.420 Yeah, I don't know what that is

00:19:08.600 or what they're teaching them over there.

00:19:10.380 Yeah, I've met a few more famous men, I'll say,

00:19:15.600 than women who have been very strange and weird

00:19:18.520 where I'm like, it feels like skinwalker shit.

00:19:21.220 It feels like you Googled, how do humans interact?

00:19:24.720 Yeah.

00:19:25.200 And then you memorized it.

00:19:26.880 And then you got in here and you're like, yes, hello, yes.

00:19:28.980 But it works.

00:19:29.280 So I'm like, yeah, you know what?

00:19:30.760 Yeah, hell yeah.

00:19:31.480 Whatever you're doing, it's working on me.

00:19:32.940 It's like freaking me out.

00:19:33.920 I don't like who it turns me into.

00:19:35.640 I don't know.

00:19:36.580 Did you talk to anyone that you were surprised they were awesome?

00:19:39.780 Like you were glad they were awesome.

00:19:40.880 Do you know who's awesome?

00:19:42.440 John Cena.

00:19:43.880 He is awesome.

00:19:45.900 Yeah, he's awesome.

00:19:46.700 He is awesome.

00:19:48.300 He's so nice.

00:19:49.260 He remembered my name.

00:19:50.580 Okay, the bar's low.

00:19:52.800 No, but for men of that caliber, it's true.

00:19:54.860 Right.

00:19:55.260 That's like, that's rare.

00:19:56.200 He just repeated my name back after I said my name's Ashby.

00:19:58.580 but he did remember and um he was just so kind like eye contact but you could tell he was listening

00:20:04.460 that's true that's the difference like a lot of people look me dead in my face

00:20:07.280 and they were not processing what i was saying um he he's so he's so kind that's cool he he is i

00:20:14.140 talked to him i talked to him at a premiere once and he was very nice and very fun and like i love

00:20:19.600 when they're a little bit silly yeah like you don't have to be crazy but like like i obviously

00:20:24.500 I'll like we as interviewers

00:20:26.460 we're like we provide most

00:20:28.420 of the silly right I'll like I'll like lob

00:20:30.460 you yeah exactly they're

00:20:32.400 layups more than anything right but when

00:20:34.460 they're not fun like or they're you could

00:20:36.380 just tell that they're like it

00:20:38.240 feels like almost like torture for them to be

00:20:40.340 there you're like okay I don't want to be

00:20:42.400 here either I'm so sorry

00:20:44.060 especially like when I'm dressed I did

00:20:46.440 the Ted Lasso premiere with Apple

00:20:48.300 TV and I was I was dressed as

00:20:50.260 Ted and naturally one person

00:20:52.600 that you know just tired

00:21:18.220 in costume because it was halloween but i was like i was asking them like oh are you big obviously

00:21:39.600 really need to do laundry so i fucking hate halloween too me too crazy i fucking hate halloween

00:21:45.060 that's crazy yeah i'd say it's hard like have you ever had uh you don't have to say who but

00:21:49.120 Have you ever had like an interview where you're like,

00:21:51.480 God, oh my God, oh my God.

00:21:53.360 I mean, okay, sometimes,

00:21:54.420 I have multiple different schticks that I can do.

00:21:56.580 You know what I mean?

00:21:57.420 Like with Trixie, it's a little like catty,

00:21:59.440 you know, we try to jab at each other.

00:22:01.140 Right.

00:22:01.980 Because she's fun.

00:22:02.820 You have to know your audience.

00:22:03.660 Of course, there's always gonna be that like 12 year old

00:22:04.660 that's like, that wasn't very nice.

00:22:05.700 I'm like, girl, like what do you mean?

00:22:08.620 You know who we're talking to right now?

00:22:10.280 Right.

00:22:11.120 But then like sometimes I'll pick a schtick

00:22:12.640 and it doesn't work.

00:22:13.480 I was doing like a press junket thing

00:22:16.680 with this very notable actress,

00:22:19.120 and she took the mics,

00:22:20.760 I had like the little DJI on the stick,

00:22:22.840 and with the foam cover like this on it,

00:22:25.860 and she took it off to see what was underneath,

00:22:29.640 and I made a joke like,

00:22:31.040 oop, don't eat it, or something.

00:22:33.240 Careful, it's not edible, I tried.

00:22:34.580 And she went like this, she went,

00:22:37.120 and I was like,

00:22:40.380 all three fingers to one neck.

00:22:41.220 That was a joke.

00:22:42.060 It was so scary, and it wasn't,

00:22:44.300 you have like, you know,

00:22:45.160 30 seconds to then ask your questions,

00:22:46.660 so I couldn't spend 30 seconds being like,

00:22:48.200 I am so sorry about it.

00:22:49.260 I knew you were going to eat it.

00:22:50.220 I was kidding.

00:22:50.840 I'm sure they feed you really well.

00:22:51.720 She said I would never fucking do that ever, idiot.

00:22:54.520 I genuinely, I was like, okay, awesome.

00:22:56.180 So, sorry, where's the rope?

00:22:57.200 I need the rope, I need the rope.

00:22:58.300 Sorry, how high does this building go?

00:22:59.700 Great, right.

00:23:00.180 Just curious.

00:23:01.600 Did you know more than three feet can kill you?

00:23:04.600 I did not know that, but I would assume.

00:23:07.440 I feel like four feet, though, is not that high.

00:23:09.700 Right, three feet.

00:23:10.580 I didn't, like, Google this.

00:23:13.200 It was something I learned in class,

00:23:16.140 unrelated to

00:23:16.880 was it in the

00:23:17.840 period of criminal justice

00:23:18.980 right

00:23:19.400 that three feet

00:23:20.600 if you fall off a ladder

00:23:21.280 or three feet tall

00:23:21.840 you can die

00:23:22.560 that's crazy

00:23:23.580 right

00:23:23.940 I didn't know that either

00:23:25.360 but it feels like

00:23:25.980 not that high

00:23:26.560 like four

00:23:27.120 and the vibes

00:23:27.660 got a little weird

00:23:28.660 yeah

00:23:29.040 I'm with you

00:23:30.120 I saw you

00:23:30.760 I was right there with you

00:23:32.060 that's why I said

00:23:32.680 really four feet

00:23:33.360 that's crazy

00:23:34.200 I'm six feet tall

00:23:35.280 everyone else felt weird

00:23:36.060 it's like

00:23:37.780 it's the costumes

00:23:38.780 it's sucking all the

00:23:40.560 brain power out of me

00:23:41.640 because we're having

00:23:42.380 attacks

00:23:43.040 right

00:23:43.540 because it's so like

00:23:44.400 Like, I feel so good, and you feel so good.

00:23:48.560 Do you know what I almost-

00:23:49.400 I know we're doing an opposites thing right now.

00:23:50.860 I literally almost bought, but it, okay.

00:23:52.960 I almost bought one of those, like, people cocoons.

00:23:56.120 Oh, the ones that hang.

00:23:57.360 Bitch, you know what I'm talking about.

00:23:59.000 I saw the autism is beautiful sign too, so.

00:24:01.540 Yeah, I know all about that, yeah.

00:24:03.920 And I almost bought it, but it was one of those things

00:24:05.680 where it's so big, and it has to be, like, in the,

00:24:07.640 like, on a beam, like, on a supportive beam.

00:24:10.200 Then I'm like, everyone will see that.

00:24:11.440 And they'll know.

00:24:12.280 And if I'm being honest, my big ass, I'm going to rip that shit off the ceiling.

00:24:16.640 I don't want to find it.

00:24:18.160 Imagine me trying to calm myself down.

00:24:19.480 Could you imagine having a hard day?

00:24:20.700 Yeah, imagine I'm having an attack and I get in that thing and it rips off the ceiling of my rental home.

00:24:27.440 Oh, no.

00:24:28.100 Then I have to text my landlord, sorry, I was trying to calm myself down.

00:24:31.520 Sorry, I was trying to regulate myself.

00:24:32.340 Sorry.

00:24:32.820 Yeah, I'm sorry.

00:24:33.720 My autism swing ripped out the drywall.

00:24:35.780 My bad.

00:24:36.640 I'm not doing that.

00:24:37.580 I really, really do want to be tested.

00:24:40.340 But apparently it's like four grand.

00:25:57.760 dog um i was like my second dog that we adopted we fostered and i took him to the vet and the guy

00:26:03.820 who I fostered him from

00:26:04.820 told me

00:26:05.460 towards the end of our meeting

00:26:06.560 that he thinks

00:26:07.460 he might be deaf

00:26:08.300 I said huh

00:26:08.940 and he's had him

00:26:10.040 for over a year

00:26:10.600 and I said

00:26:11.120 you think

00:26:11.640 and he goes

00:26:12.020 well I didn't want

00:26:12.720 to get him tested

00:26:13.320 because I had a feeling

00:26:15.120 but then when I took him

00:26:15.980 to the vet

00:26:16.440 they said it's like

00:26:17.280 $600

00:26:18.100 and it's just a yes or a no

00:26:19.600 I thought you meant

00:26:19.620 the man thought he was deaf

00:26:20.740 oh no no no

00:26:21.360 what the hell does a dog

00:26:22.260 have to do with this

00:26:22.600 my dog

00:26:23.060 got it got it got it

00:26:24.260 so that's how I feel

00:26:25.040 about the autism test

00:26:25.980 like I'm like

00:26:27.060 they're just going to

00:26:27.520 give me a yes or a no

00:26:28.540 and then it's kind of like

00:26:29.420 well then I spent

00:26:29.880 all that money

00:26:30.280 just to confirm something I kind of already knew.

00:26:32.520 They're just going to say,

00:26:33.080 have you ever put on a onesie and how did you feel?

00:26:34.880 Right.

00:26:35.240 And I'm going to say great.

00:26:35.860 Have you ever thought about buying this swing?

00:26:37.560 They show it to me on the TikTok shop.

00:26:38.840 Has God ever sent you a sign?

00:26:40.380 It's so obvious.

00:26:41.780 Are you familiar with this billboard?

00:26:43.120 And they showed me that sign.

00:26:44.320 And I said, my face.

00:26:45.240 What the hell?

00:26:45.560 And that's the funny thing is,

00:26:46.380 I think I know what sign you're talking,

00:26:47.980 like literal sign.

00:26:48.300 It was on the way here.

00:26:50.380 I was like, I think I've driven past that sign as well.

00:26:53.180 The instructions on the email were like,

00:26:54.600 okay, you'll see an autism is a beautiful sign.

00:26:56.300 Take a right.

00:26:56.980 And you hook a right, you can't miss it.

00:26:58.620 Right. Hey y'all remember the other week when I was talking about how excited I am for Lululemon's

00:27:04.340 new fall collection dropping September 8th? Well the time has come. The fall collection is here

00:27:10.180 and I finally got my hands on some of their new pieces as you can see. Look at me. And let's just

00:27:15.860 say these are getting added to my weekly rotation. All right. One of my favorite new pieces that I

00:27:21.160 got is the seamless stripe trim tank top and mid-rise short set. They have this super cute

00:27:27.440 vintage inspired stripe running down the side as you can see it's up here on my tank top that i

00:27:32.000 really love and honestly when i put it on i feel fast i feel like i could run a decathlon i feel

00:27:37.920 like i run a marathon i could do anything in my new lululemon it's actually so common for workout

00:27:43.120 clothes to compromise style for performance and lululemon's fall collection finally gives you the

00:27:48.400 option to have both their pieces are perfect for any of my daily activities from providing support

00:27:53.600 during my gym workouts to giving extra comfort in style when I'm out running errands or traveling

00:27:59.140 that's why I've loved lululemon pieces for so long I genuinely feel like I can wear them

00:28:03.780 everywhere new styles from lululemon's fall collection are here popular colors go fast so

00:28:09.780 be on the lookout for those drops and if something doesn't work for you free returns always that's

00:28:15.400 lululemon.com lululemon.com I do want to talk about what's next for you in terms of like

00:28:22.520 where you're headed now in terms of what's my next goal like this is what i'm working on this

00:28:27.240 is what i really want to focus on next i have a project that i'll tell you about after all right

00:28:33.140 um but we just like finalized the deal of it so i'm very excited how exciting oh my gosh i'm so

00:28:39.560 happy for you i'm very excited it's just another like outlet for me to do funny things and um

00:28:44.380 you know so yeah it'll be really exciting but then other than that like just auditioning and

00:28:48.540 um doing that whole thing and yeah i've been doing a lot of auditioning too do you like it

00:28:54.040 i like it i feel like i low-key wish that it was back in the day where you would do more in-person

00:29:00.360 stuff i do feel like i do better in person than i do on self-tapes there's also like so many more

00:29:06.060 layers because i grew up in theater and that was all in person yeah now it's even more digital than

00:29:10.860 it's ever been i know that's what everyone tells you lose like i don't know i light up a room and

00:29:15.600 I'd love to light up a room.

00:29:16.440 You're so mean, because that's how I feel.

00:29:18.240 I feel the same fucking way.

00:29:19.360 Like, my smile has booked me multiple times.

00:29:22.480 Listen, give me five minutes.

00:29:23.420 Five minutes.

00:29:24.260 It's gonna be hard for you not to want to cast me

00:29:25.380 in everything after.

00:29:26.220 I popped my Invisalign out real quick.

00:29:28.060 No, but it does get rid of that level of personality.

00:29:32.600 I think so too.

00:29:33.460 And I just feel like I don't shine the same in self-tapes.

00:29:37.980 How do you feel about self-tapes?

00:29:39.300 I like them.

00:29:40.180 I like doing them.

00:29:41.260 But also like, okay, sometimes I feel like,

00:29:44.320 how will they feel bad for me?

00:29:47.360 Cause sometimes like every now and again.

00:29:48.200 They're not gonna know how much I need it.

00:29:50.040 Or like in person, I would like walk in a little,

00:29:52.240 you know, not great posture, maybe a little slower.

00:29:55.260 Maybe something just happened.

00:29:56.320 Maybe my mom just, you know, got sick or something.

00:29:58.080 You're trying to sympathy them into the cast.

00:29:59.820 Like I'm already acting, I'm method, you know?

00:30:02.260 And so, you know, maybe they feel a little bad.

00:30:04.640 Maybe like let's throw her a bone.

00:30:05.980 Maybe it was on the edge.

00:30:06.820 It was like, we feel bad.

00:30:07.920 Why not?

00:30:08.760 That doesn't come across in itself.

00:30:10.240 I've tried, it doesn't come across.

00:30:11.180 They're like, look at the wig she has on.

00:30:12.920 Just put her.

00:30:13.840 Just dress as a documentary character.

00:30:14.680 It's okay, just put her in there.

00:30:16.540 Just throw her in there.

00:30:18.300 So yeah, I feel like it gets rid of a little bit of that.

00:30:20.220 That's a good point.

00:30:21.720 Mine's kind of the opposite where I'm like,

00:30:23.260 I'm just so incredibly amazing and awesome

00:30:26.160 and also intimidating in a physical, aggressive sense.

00:30:29.680 Sure, sure, sure.

00:30:30.520 So maybe that's working my way in too.

00:30:32.160 Okay, interesting.

00:30:33.000 Or they're kind of like, oh, okay, yeah, fine.

00:30:35.800 Oh, okay, yeah, yeah, that's fine.

00:30:37.220 Down, girl, down, girl.

00:30:38.980 No stomping, no stomping.

00:30:40.660 Yeah, we're attacking them from two different angles.

00:30:43.000 You know what I mean?

00:30:43.840 We're cornering, we're triangulating.

00:30:45.800 I think, what would be a dream,

00:30:47.480 like a show that's on the air right now,

00:30:48.520 what would be a dream?

00:30:49.360 Oh, every single one.

00:30:50.200 I mean, like truly I am.

00:30:51.560 You're so mean.

00:30:52.400 Oh, what, like that's so bad.

00:30:54.820 Okay, bitch, what's new?

00:30:56.360 Like genuinely, every single tape I get sent from my team,

00:30:59.780 I'm like, I just want you to let them know

00:31:03.120 how badly I want this.

00:31:04.540 This is a fucking dream of mine.

00:31:06.180 And they're like, maybe you said that,

00:31:07.020 you literally said that last time.

00:31:07.920 And it's always true.

00:31:09.000 Right, and they're like,

00:31:09.840 maybe it's a Toyota commercial.

00:31:12.320 I would fucking kill to be in this piece of media.

00:31:17.520 Not the point.

00:31:18.680 Not the point.

00:31:19.100 Not the point.

00:31:21.060 But yeah, it's, I don't know.

00:31:22.740 Again, I would love like a, you know, Abbott Elementary.

00:31:26.200 Love.

00:31:27.520 You'd be great in that.

00:31:28.460 Thank you.

00:31:28.940 You'd be fantastic.

00:31:29.840 You know what you would be great in?

00:31:31.000 Oh my God, I'm so insecure.

00:31:32.400 I thought they were talking about me.

00:31:34.180 They're just whispering.

00:31:35.380 I'm like, they hate me.

00:31:36.420 They hate me.

00:31:37.340 They're like, let's wrap this up.

00:31:40.000 She thinks she can be an Abbott Elementary.

00:31:42.320 you know what you would be great in but it's not comedy based

00:31:45.620 at all really but there is comedy in it

00:31:48.120 the pit I think you would kill

00:31:50.040 do you think? I think so

00:31:51.940 do you know what's crazy? I see that in you

00:31:53.660 I played, did you just hear me gulp?

00:31:55.680 that's a joke

00:31:56.020 I was on investigation and discovery

00:31:59.500 multiple times as the dead body

00:32:01.460 so I actually could be that

00:32:03.180 it's one of those things where it's like

00:32:05.480 okay at this point it's like you're typecasting me

00:32:07.720 because of course it's always like the 15 year old

00:32:09.740 blonde white bitch that always dies and it's true

00:32:11.860 yeah oh my god they do yeah they just do you're an svu victim every time every single time that's

00:32:17.260 crazy right i got like a 250 day rate that's not bad though just to lay there sure no maryland

00:32:23.880 fine i think you would do so great in the pit like as like one of the nurses or something sure

00:32:29.620 oh that'd be awesome night shift okay we're manifesting yeah yeah give me the pit

00:32:34.980 i think i'm finna be in the pit yeah well honestly if you do get cast in the pit i would love if

00:32:43.140 laura could clip that and stitch it on the front oh they'd love it they're like wait what the fuck

00:32:48.080 this is the place to manifest honestly no i joke about this a lot but i put three dolls on broadway

00:32:53.240 from that chair okay listen from that chair to god's ears hello amen amen sister god was like

00:33:00.060 i just told you you have autism so i don't know i don't know if we're speaking the same that's

00:33:03.320 neither here nor there right god doesn't give with both hands right so you get that and the

00:33:06.900 roll in the pit right it's it's a win-win either way you know what i'd love it you know what fine

00:33:10.840 i'd say yes what would you what would you say kind of a different pivot but what would you say

00:33:15.800 has been kind of the hardest part about now kind of doing this career because obviously we talked

00:33:21.260 about being very normal before this and it's a very different transition so i'm curious i think

00:33:26.500 i mean i share every part of me on the internet yeah but not because i want to only because like

00:33:32.380 I don't think it's that interesting.

00:33:33.900 I don't know.

00:33:34.740 I feel that way too.

00:33:35.580 I'll just be like, yeah, I picked my nose today.

00:33:37.480 And everyone's like, that's so real.

00:33:38.720 I'm like, oh, okay, cool.

00:33:40.740 Yeah, I shot a little bit too.

00:33:42.620 They're like, we love that.

00:33:43.880 I'm like, oh, that's awesome.

00:33:44.720 They're like, representation is so important, right?

00:33:47.980 I don't know.

00:33:48.820 I think it does get to a point where I haven't been good

00:33:51.980 at stopping work and starting life.

00:33:55.100 There's no line there.

00:33:55.980 It's all kind of like my career.

00:33:57.480 Because it's, again, when that door opens,

00:33:59.940 and it's only been, it's been 13 months

00:34:02.200 If we're talking baby, baby terms.

00:34:04.960 But it's like, I don't want that door to close.

00:34:06.920 I'm always thinking about it.

00:34:08.240 And when I'm always thinking about it,

00:34:09.400 I'm always thinking about what everyone thinks about me.

00:34:10.980 And literally, if I see one comment

00:34:12.920 about a 12-year-old who has epilepsy,

00:34:15.160 and I made a joke about epilepsy where I flickered a light,

00:34:17.180 which was very funny, by the way.

00:34:19.320 I cannot sleep.

00:34:20.700 Genuinely, I get nauseous and I do not eat for a day

00:34:22.460 if I hurt one person's feelings

00:34:24.080 or if I'm misunderstood.

00:34:25.460 Listen, I get that, mama.

00:34:28.360 It's hard.

00:34:29.640 It's hard, yeah.

00:34:30.200 Again, it's, you know, everyone's like, oh, care less.

00:34:33.720 I'm like, okay, well, I've tried.

00:34:35.560 God, why didn't I think of that?

00:34:37.660 Genius.

00:34:38.280 God, what great advice.

00:34:39.540 You should go be a therapist.

00:34:40.920 But I also don't want to.

00:34:41.220 I don't want to care less.

00:34:41.960 I really, really do want to care about everyone and how I make people feel and, you know,

00:34:45.840 what I give into the world and the energy and how I leave a room.

00:34:49.220 And I always want to leave people better than how I found them.

00:34:51.520 Right.

00:34:52.260 And my intention always is to make people laugh.

00:34:55.780 And if I'm not doing that, tell me and I'll scrap it.

00:34:58.380 Like, if I'm not achieving what I went out to achieve, then fuck me, I guess.

00:35:02.380 You know what I mean?

00:35:03.260 I'm not going to die on a hill that's hurting people.

00:35:06.060 So, ooh.

00:35:07.040 It's like that.

00:35:07.600 Does anyone feel that?

00:35:08.320 It's like.

00:35:09.080 Preaching.

00:35:09.540 That's crazy.

00:35:10.160 It's like that balance.

00:35:11.840 Like, you do have that balance.

00:35:13.100 Because then there's also, like, there is the bean soup of it all, too, which the internet has become.

00:35:18.140 And that's that's the only part that I think has made the Internet some like unbearable is kind of refusing to acknowledge who has who has historically been good.

00:35:30.000 And also there is a line between comedy and like actual harm.

00:35:34.020 And like you were saying earlier, if I gave this joke to Shane Gillis, I always joke, if I gave this joke to Shane Gillis, he'd sell out Madison Square Garden.

00:35:42.240 Because he's literally always my example, too.

00:35:44.260 Because the shit that man has gotten away with

00:35:46.200 and still has a career.

00:35:48.260 Oh, you're kidding.

00:35:49.060 And revered as one of the most hilarious men

00:35:51.560 in the entire world.

00:35:52.680 That's why I said, that's so funny you do that.

00:35:55.220 Because I'm like, he would sell at Madison Square Garden.

00:35:57.980 If I started ghostwriting for comedians,

00:36:00.180 you would have no idea where we could go.

00:36:02.760 And it's like, and then, no tea, no shade,

00:36:05.620 a little bit of both, of the Kevin Hart roast.

00:36:09.180 Those white men were just etching to say the N-word.

00:36:11.180 Yeah, they were so excited, they just couldn't wait.

00:36:15.160 But then every single time in one of those examples,

00:36:17.400 it's always the women that get bashed.

00:36:18.940 And that's dark of an example of like,

00:36:22.360 That's an extreme.

00:36:23.360 Why are we joking about this?

00:36:24.640 Is this even funny anymore?

00:36:26.320 Even then, it's the women that get bashed.

00:36:28.360 So I'm like, there's something there,

00:36:30.160 and even me as a person in society,

00:36:32.780 I'll view men funnier than women.

00:36:35.600 And that's just an automatic thing

00:36:38.240 that when I'm watching a show, I'm like,

00:36:39.480 oh, that's so funny,

00:36:40.640 But then I have to check myself and be like, well, if a woman said that line or if this was a woman, like a female character.

00:36:45.240 Right.

00:36:45.700 And it's interesting because I'm, you know, I'm a it's subconscious.

00:36:49.500 Yeah.

00:36:49.740 Well, it's subconscious in a lot of ways.

00:36:51.240 And I think women are constantly policing themselves, like in addition to being police, they're also policing themselves.

00:36:57.420 So it's like men are just given a far longer leash, like especially in comedy, like they're allowed to to push boundaries.

00:37:04.940 They're allowed to make really off kilter jokes as long as it's done correctly.

00:37:09.240 like whereas women kind of have a one shot only thing and then if you factor the tiktok into it

00:37:14.140 bitch it's a whole nother i also truly do have a theory that because a lot of men don't think

00:37:19.800 women can be funny they don't take what they say as a joke so i'll say a joke that's actually a

00:37:24.560 really good point about like if someone's like my dad died and i'm like what like his hair

00:37:27.240 right um people who do not think women can be funny take that as like a literal statement that

00:37:34.340 i was making fun of this girl's dead dad then that's a good point and it's i can't really blame

00:37:38.980 them for it because it is so subconscious so like ingrained and i think how we view women still and

00:37:43.720 it's like a long road to iron those things out yeah but it is one of those things where i genuinely

00:37:48.020 just think it's because there's a disbelief that women can even make a joke yeah no that's such a

00:37:52.960 good point because then it's like oh she must have meant that right and it's like or i'm just

00:37:56.740 being hilarious like there's that too or the comment i'm sure you get this a lot where it's

00:38:00.020 like she's so unintentionally funny or she's so effortlessly funny i'm like do you know i'm

00:38:04.120 sweating my fucking ass crack off trying to make a joke you're like trying my fucking hardest so

00:38:08.200 So yes, it comes across funny,

00:38:09.440 because I meant it to be funny.

00:38:11.820 But then Shane Gills was like,

00:38:12.960 ooh, the meticulous way that he comes across.

00:38:14.580 I'm like, oh, you're kidding.

00:38:15.460 That was planned.

00:38:16.340 That was like a layered joke.

00:38:18.280 Well, and that's the worst part is like,

00:38:19.700 even as women, we can,

00:38:22.020 I know a funny joke when I hear one.

00:38:24.200 Right.

00:38:25.040 So I can give credit where it's due.

00:38:25.880 And I set it up 10 minutes ago.

00:38:27.080 Yeah.

00:38:27.920 It's not, I think there is too,

00:38:29.960 an art of coming off as like sporadic,

00:38:31.920 or like, ooh, she's so crazy.

00:38:33.280 It's like, I think that is a funny persona,

00:38:36.860 and I think I get that a lot too,

00:38:37.900 like whenever i go live and you know i read comments and it's it's improv it's not that

00:38:41.620 crazy um but then there are those comments of like wow she has no idea i'm like huh what do

00:38:47.580 you mean yeah like everything you're doing is just by accident or you're just you're going insane and

00:38:52.300 wanting to put on costumes like they're acting like nothing about it is intentional right because

00:38:56.940 because they find you funny right so they're like this can't be intentional she's hilarious but

00:39:01.640 again i i love that i think there is like such a sweet spot in there because i want to be there as

00:39:06.100 funny person sometimes it bites me the butt we're like i'll be doing my makeup on live and everyone's

00:39:10.660 like not funny i'm like oh i wasn't trying hold on you're just living life and they're like um get

00:39:16.780 back to the funny stuff yeah okay well sometimes i'm not trying to be funny baby but you know i

00:39:21.660 think i would much rather be known as a comedic entertainer rather than like you know an influencer

00:39:29.480 or like i agree talker you know what i mean because there is more validity behind it and

00:39:33.780 And I think I do want to put in the work that it takes to be that person.

00:39:37.580 I agree.

00:39:38.080 You know?

00:39:38.500 Yeah.

00:39:38.680 And I think that's something that you've probably noticed since when you start meeting people

00:39:43.420 who went up the traditional way and they've been in this industry for a long time, they

00:39:46.660 can appreciate, like a lot of the standups I'm friends with, like they can appreciate

00:39:50.420 that I respect the art.

00:39:51.880 So I'm not asking for, oh, give it to me because I have a lot of followers.

00:39:55.320 Right, right, right.

00:39:55.800 So they can appreciate that.

00:39:57.560 And I think that makes them less averse to the blending of the worlds.

00:40:01.460 You have to be aware.

00:40:03.460 yeah to some extent like but i also think too i'm like hollywood as a whole stands on the

00:40:08.800 shoulders of nepotism i don't have a famous fucking dad so i had to go up a different way

00:40:12.480 bitch i just start getting in the ass of every man that's awful and that's how i got in here

00:40:16.500 so funny you had to put on lin-manuel's ponytail and i had to do that i had to get in drag

00:40:20.600 i had to be in drag mama i literally i have okay so i'm also working on getting diagnosed with ocd

00:40:26.880 because i have ruminations like okay i think about something 10 times i got diagnosed with

00:40:32.380 that earlier this year oh my god um and i genuinely i've been telling myself you have a

00:41:14.020 that whatever the fuck that girl's name yeah her yeah hello they're popping up out of nowhere so

00:41:27.900 that if i do oh you best believe i'm gonna nepo baby the fuck out of that thing oh then why am i

00:50:15.600 many accolades so also right here it says you worked as a dental hygienist yes i did

00:50:21.840 what are you doing playing in people's mouths you should not be it actually was and do you know i

00:50:26.720 actually saved a woman's life um twice because hold on now pipe down because okay so i found

00:50:32.120 this um i was well confused and i was like i don't know what i want to do with my life so i literally

00:50:36.820 just googled highest paying job for lowest amount of school time that was the exact google search

00:50:41.820 um and no tea no shade dental hygienist was the first one right and um i mean albeit still like

00:50:49.360 six years of school yeah but they were like you could be a dental assistant for no school i think

00:50:53.820 maybe it said probably not and i found a private dental practice across my street so i went over

00:50:59.140 and me and my like tight ass i was like hey like do you guys take like you know like uh interns or

00:51:05.360 whatever i don't like it and he was like i you can tell me how much you want to be paid

00:51:09.180 and i will pay you that hourly if you can make it two weeks training under me and i was like

00:51:14.240 hell yeah i bought 10 scrubs a thousand dollars by the way what kind of movie ass no it was insane

00:51:20.900 i'll give you the job of a lifetime and guess what if you survive i didn't and i was like that's why

00:51:26.040 offers the fucking bank is because no one makes it right it was rigorous it was boot camp i had

00:51:30.520 to memorize how many teeth are in the mouth whoa that's a lot of information i still don't know

00:51:34.780 actually um and it's 32 sure and you had to like lay out these like certain trays for certain

00:51:41.800 operations and stuff but there was one time he was taking a crouse doing the suction and water stuff

00:51:45.920 um felt super illegal by the way and he was removing a temporary tooth from this old woman's

00:51:52.460 mouth and it fell down the back of her throat and he didn't notice and so i went in there with my

00:51:56.920 fingers i'm not even kidding i went in there that's crazy three fingers into this woman's mouth

00:52:01.920 and yeah she was gagging but you know whatever and so i took it out saved her life and he was

00:52:07.520 mad at me of course because apparently you know i didn't have gloves on or whatever there was

00:52:10.580 something i missed in the protocol but she's alive well maybe not she's old but i don't know

00:52:15.780 it was a couple years ago she was probably like 90 something anyway she's she lived for a little

00:52:20.240 bit after that imagine imagine she died from whatever germ you put in her throat grabbing

00:52:25.380 that too just full pneumonia just kill her day after she's dead he's like actually you made it

00:52:29.680 a lot worse made it a thousand times worse actually right right but my intention was there

00:52:34.900 and that's all that mattered but you did save someone's life right for a short time good for

00:52:38.080 you thank you that's what i that's what i would be telling people right i'd be leading with that

00:52:42.240 right and i do maybe not the other stuff i lead with that i did save someone's life i should do

00:52:46.640 that i shouldn't have been in there and have you ever saved anyone's life have i ever saved anyone's

00:52:50.360 life no my life has been saved a couple times though wow yeah i was a big choker when i was a

00:52:55.380 kid um that's just something about me right um but i literally got to the point where like

00:53:00.420 peppermint candies like little hard candies i got they got banned from me like my mom was like

00:53:05.660 she is not allowed to have those because every time i had one i would choke you swallowing it

00:53:10.560 whole or like what i guess i mean i don't know i don't know if i was just an avid sucker and it

00:53:14.460 just flew down there right for sure but i i remember um when i was a kid i literally uh was

00:53:22.100 that was my sister's birthday party i couldn't have been older than like two or three um there

00:53:31.140 like peanuts in there like full-size peanuts like big ones you get at the circus like they're

00:53:35.040 fucking huge and they have the shells still um i like opened one yeah and i just ate the whole

00:53:40.580 thing shell and all uh obviously got lodged in my throat i started choking and then my godfather's

00:53:46.300 dad was a firefighter for like years so he literally three fingers down my throat scooped

00:53:52.040 that bitch out that's crazy and it scratched my throat and everything i had to go to the hospital

00:53:55.680 and all that and then now to this day my family still calls me peanut that's honestly really cute

00:54:00.820 i wish i had a nickname if anyone wants to give me one you're really cute i don't know

00:54:07.600 yeah so i was a big choker two lego you did you were one by one my bad yellow and it went to the

00:54:36.420 there's three fingers under here and so three fingers of course down my throat and i had to

00:54:40.180 scoop it out but it was if it was any centimeter down deeper down my throat i would have died

00:56:13.400 that's a weird thing to be good at now you know what i mean and now my mom's like you should go

00:56:16.600 into criminal justice uh okay well now i know how to do a butterfly fucking kick and that's exactly

00:56:21.000 i can't use that mama it's like i don't know if they so yes they were very very supportive until

00:56:26.120 they had to pay that.

00:56:26.960 I thought it was a joke.

00:56:28.700 I thought you were kidding.

00:56:29.700 Yeah, and I'm like, what do you mean?

00:56:31.600 So, yeah, but now they're very supportive.

00:56:34.380 I was gonna say.

00:56:35.220 Because they're like, see, it all worked out in the end.

00:56:36.580 I'm like, okay.

00:56:37.800 Yeah, right, before you tried to make me

00:56:40.040 go into criminal justice.

00:56:41.800 What was your plan going into criminal justice?

00:56:43.960 I wanted to be a detective.

00:56:46.740 Just for the pageantry?

00:56:48.380 For the coat, maybe?

00:56:50.120 Well, for the hat, and then also for the pipe.

00:56:51.880 And the magnifying glass.

00:56:53.020 Right, well, I grew up watching Pink Panther.

00:56:56.120 and when i told them that they're like you have to be a cop for 10 years you know that right i'm

00:57:03.160 like no no no i i don't have to be no no well steve martin didn't have to do that yeah and

00:57:07.360 also a cab and then also no i don't want to be a cop it's not cop class number one you're like i

00:57:12.460 want to be a silly detective i don't want to be a real one whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa and they're

00:57:17.600 like no next semester you have to take a class it was literally i was at the very back of the room

00:57:21.820 and they were like okay so like prerequisite for you know for being a detective 10 years of cop

00:57:26.100 bing i guess and i was like what cop stuff and i literally went up like you know down the hundred

00:57:31.400 steps to get to the professor i was like hey just quick question like is everyone needed to like be

00:57:34.940 a cop at like some point or like can we maybe like like is there a different route can i audible and

00:57:39.080 maybe do something like the desk for you know a couple years um they're like no you have to be a

00:57:43.040 cop and i was like i can't for 10 years i can't because i'm then i'll be dead yeah yeah that's

00:57:50.760 30 felt far away i was like i can't be 30 i cannot i can't be 30 and doing this won't be able to move

00:57:57.900 i'll be bedridden what if i don't fit in the trench coat at that point i'd be too big

00:58:01.700 i'd be way too big for it i'm too tall what if the hat doesn't fit the hat will not fit oh god

00:58:07.560 i can't do this major i have a nicotine addiction the pipe won't work so yeah so i changed to

00:58:13.640 graphic design that's good because you don't have to be cop by the way for that that's true you

00:58:17.800 don't and thankfully thank god imagine i get there re-enroll as a graphic designer and they're

00:58:21.840 like okay so you have to be a cop for 10 years and so you've been a cop for 10 years i assume

00:58:25.460 right before you get hired here right i'm like what when i when i was in college and i was like

00:58:32.520 i wanted to go into journalism i wanted to do sports journalism so i wanted to give that by

00:58:36.740 the way thank you welcome i appreciate that i wanted to do sports journalism i think because

00:58:40.680 i grew up an athlete and then my dad was an athlete for a long time my parents were both

00:58:43.980 athletes like i was like this well this naturally feels like the next step because i think

00:58:47.460 entertainment didn't feel like an option to me like i was like well i feel like they don't hire

00:58:51.660 people who look like me so i guess i'll go this way right right and in my head i was always thinking

00:58:55.660 and then i'll be on air and i'll be so charming and hilarious they'll be like let's get this girl

00:59:00.720 her own show i like literally was thinking i'm like oh they'll probably give me my own sports

00:59:03.860 show and then i'll be able to do it and then i'll work my way in that way yeah and that's kind of

00:59:08.260 what i thought but then when i got there i remember when i was working at the nfl they wanted me to

00:59:13.760 literally like target women they wanted me to get women more interested in football

00:59:17.400 they wanted me to like get women to like engage more because women spend more money than men

00:59:21.820 and female demographics just pay off more and they're like we have this idea and it's a naked

00:59:26.420 sydney sweeney on top of a baby i'm thinking tits and footballs thoughts and then i would go in there

00:59:33.960 when i tell you i would go into those meetings with the dumbest like silliest ideas because i

00:59:40.680 thought that they would be like this would engage women right you know because that's what i do now

00:59:45.820 right and every time i did they'd be like what if we went back to the doggo thing like what if we

00:59:50.860 they were big fans of like doggo jokes and like golden retrievers and like whatever the fuck that

00:59:57.160 means i was like you're talking about the average woman right not like not like the worst woman

01:00:01.440 alive you're talking about the average woman okay um and i remember one time this is when baby yoda

01:00:06.800 was huge um everybody thought he was adorable and awesome um still is in my house right right

01:00:12.360 right russell wilson like changed his profile picture to a picture of him like it was like

01:00:17.720 his jersey on baby yoda okay obviously he's with sierra right i was like okay you know what'd be

01:00:22.980 hilarious is if i made one of sierra and i don't know how to use photoshop even though it said i

01:00:28.040 was proficient in the adobe suite on my resume i don't know what that means okay i didn't think

01:00:32.140 that meant I knew how to use the programs for sure I just know what the suite is so then I'm

01:00:36.680 on photoshop I'm teaching myself photoshop actively like as I'm working at the NFL I spent

01:00:41.580 when I tell you I spent hours photoshopping baby Yoda with like her shirt like a shirt of hers like

01:00:47.520 earrings like hair like all that stuff and I was like oh my god hilarious I slack it to my manager

01:00:54.200 I'm like hey I'm thinking I put this as our profile picture and tweet it and then maybe

01:00:58.680 she'll engage blah blah blah she goes i don't understand this don't charge for this oh i spent

01:01:06.140 four hours on that so on my time card i was only there for three hours

01:01:09.560 don't pay i don't get this don't post it and don't charge for this that's actually insane

01:01:17.820 that's crazy and speaking of the lorax right were we the well when i look at you great segue

01:01:25.100 when i'm looking at you i'm thinking lorax right the head coach of the chiefs looks like the lorax

01:01:30.980 like in real life he looks like him he's just not orange oh yes he does he does andy reed so i that

01:01:36.000 was another idea i go you know the lora the lorax is not big at the time but i'm like you know he

01:01:40.240 looks like the lord and i could make the players the trees and like he loves the trees you know

01:01:44.880 what i mean and so i had this whole pitch to her and she was like i don't understand anything

01:01:49.520 it always starts with that

01:01:50.360 I don't get this

01:01:52.100 no one will get this

01:01:53.960 also we'll see like

01:01:54.700 the internet will love it

01:01:56.180 like I was like

01:01:56.660 women are gonna love

01:01:57.480 they're gonna think

01:01:57.940 this is so funny

01:01:58.820 they didn't deserve me there

01:02:00.420 I was pitching ideas

01:02:01.680 like that constantly

01:02:02.380 and they were like

01:02:03.000 this bitch is annoying

01:02:03.800 they didn't see who

01:02:04.520 you were trying to be

01:02:05.060 yeah and honestly

01:02:05.780 shockingly it was hard

01:02:06.660 for me to make friends

01:02:07.300 I literally just

01:02:09.560 discovered that too

01:02:10.500 at my big age

01:02:11.580 where I was like

01:02:11.880 I don't think I was

01:02:12.380 good at making friends

01:02:12.960 at that company

01:02:14.520 I was not good

01:02:15.580 at making friends

01:02:16.000 and I will say

01:02:17.680 like you said

01:02:18.760 I'm a delight

01:02:19.360 right i'm a hoot right i'm really easy to get along with when i was there and i was like i'm

01:02:23.640 making jokes like nobody wanted to be my friend right which is like at what point are we the

01:02:28.520 problem really like and i remember thinking like that was like the only environment where i felt

01:02:33.940 like nobody really fucked with me at work so when i would go to lunch and stuff they had like big

01:02:38.220 cafeterias like on the work campus that you could go to everybody's sitting together and all the

01:02:43.060 lunch ladies were like hi drew well i'm friends with all the lunch ladies i'm friends with the

01:02:46.680 security guy like i've always been at my whole life i was like you know invited into you know

01:02:52.460 teachers rooms for special lunches and stuff they loved me it's like they're like i just want extra

01:02:57.580 time with ashley you know what let we have this closet where you can take your test i'm like they

01:03:02.540 love me i'm like they can't get special they're giving me special treatment all right indoor

01:03:07.500 recess let's do it again i could not get enough of me can't get away from them i know i was i

01:03:12.820 I really, at the NFL, that's how I felt.

01:03:14.780 I was like, I should have known, honestly,

01:03:16.400 I should have known it wasn't gonna work out for me

01:03:17.600 because nobody thought I was hilarious there.

01:03:19.200 And everybody finds me hilarious.

01:03:20.880 Which is funny, I feel like I didn't unlock

01:03:22.400 like a level of funny, because at my last job,

01:03:24.900 everyone genuinely was so shocked that this happened to me

01:03:28.060 because I never talked, like I learned my lesson.

01:03:30.280 Talking, bad things happen when I talk.

01:03:32.880 People do not laugh when I talk at work.

01:03:35.800 Because they're, you know, time and a place.

01:03:36.940 And they're also like all 40 and 50 years old.

01:03:38.780 Yeah.

01:03:39.720 And so I kind of learned,

01:03:41.400 so this was like a very shocking turn where they're like what the fuck have you been doing

01:03:44.260 that's crazy um you're like yeah i have a life right and it's you dressed as lin-manuel miranda

01:03:50.780 i have a life outside of the shop what do you think i've been doing you didn't give me a raise

01:03:54.920 one year in thank you thank you before on accident on accident no but i will say literally this

01:04:02.360 happened to me two days ago i was on facetime with my sister and i was i was bitching to her

01:04:06.960 about something i don't even remember what it was but i was in a bad mood and i was like and i was

01:04:10.320 like dude and then and i was like ranting to her mind you i just got out of the shower so i was in

01:04:14.080 a towel and it was like my phone was propped up on my bathroom counter and then i went to go take

01:04:18.520 my towel off but then i was like wait i'm on facetime so then i tilted it up so that you

01:04:23.500 can't see me and so i took off my towel i forgot about that fucking face tracking bullshit they

01:04:28.640 put on facetime you're like hold on we're tracking the bush they're tracking my big fat penis like

01:04:33.560 literally i get on the camera it tracks down i'm standing there topless i'm still talking my sister

01:04:39.980 goes out of the frame goes hey dude and then i go i know i know i know i know i just saw i just saw

01:04:44.920 me being and then she was like i didn't want to embarrass you so that's why i got off camera

01:04:48.720 oh my god standing there ranting tits swinging and then i literally was like i'm so embarrassed

01:04:55.280 that i can't even remember what i was i literally shocked myself out of anger i was like oh my god

01:05:02.020 oh my god oh my fucking god that's crazy it was horrible and then live on that call she taught me

01:05:08.140 how to turn off that face tracking shit.

01:05:09.860 I didn't even know that was a thing.

01:05:11.060 Girl, that camera is following you everywhere.

01:05:13.040 Right.

01:05:13.220 I tilted it up and it tracked my face,

01:05:15.160 showed my titties.

01:05:16.180 Crazy that I thought your tits were in a face though.

01:05:17.940 Right.

01:05:18.260 I think that the internet is a better place

01:05:20.440 with you in it.

01:05:21.220 Oh, thanks.

01:05:21.660 And I think it's amazing that you are continuing

01:05:24.440 to lean into what it is that brought you the platform,
