00:00:37.180 The silliest? This guy came up to me and he was like,

00:00:42.220 you shouldn't say you know what I mean because they don't know what you mean.

00:00:49.880 Damn.

00:00:54.540 Hey everyone and welcome back to another episode of the comment section show starring me,

00:01:00.440 your fave, who cares about me. On to the guest. Today we have yet another all-star episode with

00:01:07.300 the one, the only, the hilarious, the gorgeous, the stunning, oh my god, so many adjectives,

00:01:12.120 Grace Amaku. You're making me feel so good. Oh my god, you're so welcome. That's the goal.

00:01:21.000 You're my valentine. Yeah. I would love to be. Belated valentines. Thank you. I literally posted

00:01:27.060 my valentine pic today. I don't care. It's valentine the whole month. It's okay. The time's

00:01:32.140 a construct. It doesn't matter. Honestly. Me and Grace, we go way back. We do. You and I. You were

00:01:37.840 like one of my first, first influencer friends. Yeah? Yeah, for real. And boy, they be dropping like

00:01:42.820 flies. Yeah, you gotta be real careful. That roster gets smaller every year, huh? Don't let it be an

00:01:50.400 election year. Who's calling my phone? Who's calling my, oh my gosh. I say, who, Trump? Oh lord.

00:01:59.300 Yeah. And it's like, sometimes you know. Right. Sometimes I feel like you, yeah, you get this.

00:02:04.720 Sometimes you know, but you're hoping for the best. You're like, I, I, I feel like I know and I hope

00:02:09.960 you prove me wrong. And then when they don't, you're like, ah, see, I knew. And then I also,

00:02:16.020 I'm like, I'm so open-minded. I'm so empathetic. I never put anybody in a box. I wouldn't want

00:02:24.320 that to happen to me. Man, put me in a box. I joke all the time about how you are one of

00:02:30.980 the funniest people I've literally ever met. But I was just telling Dylan, because I had

00:02:34.800 Dylan on earlier. Yeah. I was just telling her that hanging out with you, I feel like

00:02:39.160 what people describe hanging out with Will Ferrell's like, which is you could just never

00:02:42.760 tell if it's a bit or if it's for real. You can never tell with Chris. Will Ferrell, for

00:02:49.180 real. I should be a lyricist. That's the shit I'm talking about. I should be a lyricist.

00:02:54.000 No, honestly. And I think about it. I'm like, because I'm like trying to find a new manager

00:02:59.280 right now. Okay. Because I'm actually rebranding. Okay. T, love that for you. T, I decided I

00:03:04.800 needed to take my content creator career seriously. You've done a really, really fantastic job

00:03:14.740 if you haven't been taking it seriously. If this is you just free-balling, that's crazy.

00:03:19.600 It is. You're doing great. It is. But like, so. That's because you're a comedian. Right.

00:03:25.220 Stand up. So that was my goal. Yeah. Comedy, acting. It's always been your goal, which I've

00:03:29.520 known. Yeah. So even before I was a nurse. So yeah. And when I'm looking for managers

00:03:36.180 and I'm like, how do I explain to them my career? It just doesn't make sense. I'm like,

00:03:42.000 I'm a creator for the Oscars, but I also speak for Forbes, but like my views, like they come

00:03:48.000 and go, you know what I'm saying? Then there was the meet and greet. And it's also one of

00:03:51.900 those things where you're an artist who fell into making content. Yes. That's, that's, and

00:03:57.140 that tends to happen with a lot of the people I've had on my show too, who are like, they

00:04:00.840 are artists who just so happen to go viral. Yeah. And then it's like, and then it's just

00:04:05.840 that never ending balance of like, no, I am a creator, but I've also been doing this longer.

00:04:11.180 Like it's, they're just kind of working. They sometimes work at odds, which is annoying.

00:04:15.600 Yeah. No, because like people, they're, they're just now trying to respect the content creators,

00:04:21.300 but for real. And even that's barely, they're like, wait, what are you? They always just want

00:04:26.540 to know how we get money. I'm like, which is the least interesting thing. I think about

00:04:30.000 what it is we do. Yeah. Yeah. The money is interesting. Sure. But like, it's, it's the

00:04:34.040 shit we get to do that fascinates me. I'm like, damn, you guys really want me in there, huh?

00:04:39.020 I can get money anywhere. I can get money. I go to McDonald's, get some money right now.

00:04:45.280 Sometimes I think to myself, I'm like, I, you guys want me there. All right. I mean, I'll

00:04:49.760 go. Oh, right. Pop out and I, and then like, okay. So I, sometimes I feel bad cause I'm

00:04:56.140 like, okay, it's kind of imposter syndrome, but don't worry about that in it. Um, but

00:05:01.480 like, cause there's other creators and I'm like, they would probably be better for

00:05:04.640 this. That is your imposter syndrome. I can tell you that confidently. Oh yeah. That's

00:05:10.980 what that is for you. And I sit in that. I sit in that. Okay. But you are doing, you've

00:05:17.300 been doing standup for a while and is standup what you've always wanted to do or do you want

00:05:22.540 to do acting or por que no los dos? Do you just want to do both? Por que? Uh, dos.

00:05:28.980 Yeah. Por favor. Yeah. I think, and you know, I always tell people like one of the first times

00:05:38.600 you and I ever hung out was at that ambulance premiere, which was also, which was ridiculous

00:05:43.580 and we should not have been there. They never should have let us in there. Why was Wale

00:05:47.280 following me? I was like, Wale was a huge fan of Grace. Like I was like, it was our first

00:05:55.360 time meeting. Right. And you met Jason Momoa too. Oh my goodness. Which I loved because

00:06:01.400 you were like, I'm going to take a lap. And then you came back, you're a look and you

00:06:04.840 showed me pictures that you took with it. How long were you gone for? I thought you were

00:06:10.280 only gone for a couple minutes. That's all it takes on me. For Grace. Yeah. That's what

00:06:15.740 I, but that's what I love about you. You are like, Grace is one of the most fearless people

00:06:19.920 I've ever met for many reasons. One of them being like, you truly will walk a party by

00:06:25.120 your fucking self. You don't care at all. Oh yeah. I admire you because I am a fucking

00:06:30.660 bitch when it comes to stuff like that. I tell my, my team all the time. I'm like, can I

00:06:34.640 at least bring two people? Yeah. And they're like, no. Can I bring one? Yeah. Okay. Last

00:06:39.540 answer. Three. And then they're always like, no, you have to go alone. I'm like, fuck. I'm

00:06:44.420 not going to go then. Alone. But Grace doesn't just go alone. Grace makes friends. Like all

00:06:50.460 the famous people in the world want to be friends with Grace. You remind me a lot of Teffy. Teffy's

00:06:53.900 the same way. Oh my gosh. Yes. She knows how to work a fucking room. That's you too. She's,

00:06:58.640 she's modern day Marilyn Monroe. Teffy, you seeing this? Call me. Oh my goodness. And

00:07:08.220 you know what? Having Teffy as a friend, like all my guy friends are like, Grace, please

00:07:11.920 give me one chance. I'm like, I don't know. I don't know. I know me. Me being so judgmental

00:07:18.880 as soon as men talk to me about it. I'm like, why? What do you need? You need something from

00:07:22.240 her. Are you okay? Well, don't. Yeah. Back off. She would hate you. She would. Not intellectually.

00:07:28.640 No. She's a sapiosexual. Hey. Wait, back to your standup really quick. I'd love to know

00:07:36.320 how that's going and how you like it. Because I'm a, I'm a big scaredy cat of standup. And

00:07:41.360 you know this, I think I've told you, I've been trying to work up to it, but I'm a big

00:07:44.880 scaredy cat. You'd be a great, um, uh, heck, like not heckler, but like crowd work, crowd

00:07:50.820 work. You'd be great. I think I'd be good at crowd work too. But I also like, I love standup

00:07:54.520 so much that I want it to be like 98% material and then crowd work. Yeah. Maybe. Yeah. You'd

00:08:01.740 be amazing at crowd work. Thank you. And like on social media, like that's how most comics

00:08:07.460 are doing their shit now. Yeah. I've seen, I've had a few. Matt Rive. Oh girl. Back to

00:08:12.420 back to back to back. Yeah. Have y'all ever heard him actually do a say, I don't know.

00:08:17.080 It's your question. No, I've heard a joke or no. It's just mostly making fun of the audience. Okay.

00:08:23.140 Okay. Cool. It's like Drewski on stage. Sensational. Like, yeah, it's already been done before

00:08:30.120 actually. Yeah. Um, which is even by an actual black man. Um, he wishes. Oh, anyways, back to

00:08:40.700 standup. Um, I'd love to know how that's going for you. How you like it. Yeah. I mean, I like it,

00:08:45.740 but like, same thing, like being a content creator, they don't respect you as much as

00:08:50.520 like a standup. And it's weird. Cause like people like come up to me and like, I bring

00:08:54.720 a lot of people to the audience. Yeah, totally. But then they're like, who are you? And I'm

00:08:58.980 like, well, if I make you laugh, isn't that what the job is? Like at the end of the day,

00:09:05.040 you gotta get done. Yeah. We're getting done. But my last show was at the comedy store,

00:09:09.820 which is love the most legit place. If you have an LA, Los Angeles came out to the comedy

00:09:16.280 store. It's like the like number one comedy club in LA. So yeah, I was super happy to do

00:09:23.560 that. Oh, how to go. It was good. I was definitely nervous. I was stressed out. It was like the

00:09:30.320 week after the wildfires. Yeah. So it's a little harder. Girl, I couldn't think, but I still

00:09:36.440 people were like, you're so hard on yourself. I'm like, you are so hard on yourself. That

00:09:39.920 is true. I know that's true because I, you critique yourself far more than you compliment

00:09:44.740 yourself, but you're also an artist and that's what artists do. Yeah. Right. Where do you

00:09:49.260 pull most of your material from? Do you think? Definitely life. I mean, people like men see

00:09:56.060 my fro and they don't know how to act legitimately. Like it's crazy. Like you start short circuiting.

00:10:02.860 They're like, look at you. I want you to be my activist queen. I'm like, no. You know

00:10:09.080 that like, you know that Dr. Umar audio that's like, at ease my queen. At ease my queen. Beautiful

00:10:14.980 chocolate, melanin, goddess. What do you mean you want to eat up the prince? What'd you do?

00:10:22.960 I love him so bad. They automatically turn into Dr. Umar when they see you? A hundred percent.

00:10:27.300 They do. And then I'll be, I'll be like, okay, this is what you see right now. But best

00:10:33.300 believe I'm finna throw on that 30 inch blonde wig. And they're like, oh girl, what do you

00:10:39.580 mean? Well, why would you do that to your beautiful African, your beautiful African? I'm

00:10:44.740 like. You said, don't piss me off. Calm down. Enough. Enough. Enough. Okay. You got, you got

00:10:50.940 two for the price of one. You should be happy. Math isn't math. Yeah, no, they never know

00:11:00.020 how to act. Do they? They think they know better. And then they never know how to act

00:11:03.200 when it comes to stand up. Speaking of men, Ontario, the wait is over. The gold standard

00:12:05.400 Do you ever get critiques from men? Unsolicited advice from other comics?

00:12:10.180 Or even the audience. I've heard that too. Like some female comics that have been on,

00:12:13.380 they're like, literally audience members will come up to me and try to give me notes.

00:12:16.520 Yeah. And I'm like, bro, what are you talking about? Like, I'm open to critiques, but like,

00:12:23.600 not from an audience member. I'm like, you don't even know anything about the crap.

00:12:29.720 You don't know anything. So why are you coming up to me telling me I shouldn't be saying something?

00:12:34.980 Yeah. Jesus Christ. Hannah. Yeah. Make it. Yeah. Anxiety. Stop.

00:12:46.860 Anxiety.

00:12:47.260 Anxiety. I say that like before I go to bed.

00:12:53.600 You say anxiety, stop. Anxiety, stop.

00:13:00.500 That's so funny. That's my lullaby.

00:13:02.500 That's what mine sounds like too. Just sirens going off like crazy.

00:13:07.000 Just no rhyme or reason. Okay. We were talking about notes, unsolicited notes on your sets.

00:13:11.380 Yes. Anxiety, stop.

00:13:15.760 That's very true.

00:13:16.520 You can't stop it.

00:13:17.420 Yeah. I had one girl, Mary Beth Marone, when she was on my show, she said that some guy

00:13:22.420 followed her out of the club and was like giving her notes on her tags.

00:13:26.280 Oh.

00:13:26.560 And then he said, you should be writing this down.

00:13:29.880 And then she said, why would I do that?

00:13:32.960 I thought this was for you.

00:13:34.340 I thought you were just sending me stuff.

00:13:35.740 She said, what if you don't get your...

00:13:37.700 She's like getting in a car. She's like, oh, I'm not doing that.

00:13:41.580 Dude.

00:13:42.380 Are you lost?

00:13:43.900 What's the silliest piece of advice you've gotten?

00:13:46.740 The silliest...

00:13:48.380 This guy came up to me and he was like, you shouldn't say you know what I mean because

00:13:53.760 they don't know what you mean.

00:13:59.500 Damn.

00:14:01.940 You said, well, that's...

00:14:03.540 Okay.

00:14:03.800 A semantic Sammy is what I call him.

00:14:07.280 Semantic Sammy.

00:14:08.440 What?

00:14:09.600 Because some people, I don't want to name names, don't know what you mean.

00:14:14.080 And it's him.

00:14:16.700 Because I was like, yeah, I came up in the club looking cute.

00:14:19.920 You know what I mean?

00:14:21.160 We don't know what you mean.

00:14:24.620 Hey, buddy.

00:14:25.280 It's just a figure of speech.

00:14:26.480 Hello.

00:14:28.900 So the crowd doesn't know if you say you know.

00:14:31.300 And they think they're helping.

00:14:32.900 What do you typically say when you get unsolicited?

00:14:37.900 Oh, I'm so sweet.

00:14:39.740 So passive, so sweet.

00:14:41.440 Oh, grace.

00:14:43.840 You say, thank you.

00:14:46.300 Oh, I didn't think about that.

00:14:48.360 Oh.

00:14:49.520 You turn into an anime girl?

00:14:50.940 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:14:54.180 Gosh.

00:14:55.280 You're like...

00:14:55.900 You're right.

00:15:00.380 I'd never see them again.

00:15:02.780 It's crazy.

00:15:03.680 Yeah, that's really all you can do, huh?

00:15:05.340 I had a Paige Gallagher on and she told me that a guy went before her and completely bombed.

00:15:11.360 Like, didn't get one laugh.

00:15:12.880 Then she went on killed and then the rest of the comics went and then she said at the end,

00:15:17.460 the first guy came back and told her, hey, I have a bunch of notes for you, how you could

00:15:21.520 do better.

00:15:22.320 And she goes, well, I mean, the goal was to make people laugh, right?

00:15:25.840 So, like, I did that.

00:15:27.480 Yeah.

00:15:27.880 It's like, they think they're in a whole nother tier.

00:15:31.020 Yeah.

00:15:31.260 But it's like, we are actually in a whole nother tier.

00:15:33.980 They literally...

00:15:35.540 Men do not think women are funny.

00:15:37.440 And even if you were to remove some sort of bigotry or prejudice, they don't think online

00:15:41.840 people are funny.

00:15:42.700 Like, they think they can't be funny because they were online.

00:15:45.540 They've never actually watched your shit.

00:15:47.340 They've never actually, like, seen you as a comic, like, or even a human.

00:15:51.760 They see you as some...

00:15:52.960 They see us as, like, Charli D'Amelio.

00:15:54.840 Like, they think we're Charli D'Amelio.

00:15:56.660 They're like, you have OnlyFans?

00:15:58.280 No, I don't have.

00:15:59.540 Yeah.

00:16:00.060 Just because I'm a woman on the internet doesn't mean I have an OnlyFans.

00:16:04.480 Yeah.

00:16:04.740 That's not how I succeed.

00:16:06.000 That's so real because even when I was trying to move, like, two years ago with Billy, we

00:16:13.080 were, like, touring homes and then I would tell them, like, oh, I work online.

00:16:16.800 Like, and I didn't want to tell them exactly what I did because it's, like, privacy for

00:16:20.420 whatever reason.

00:16:21.360 Because they're older, though, they're like, oh.

00:16:24.380 Like, they think it's sex work, which, like, even if it was, who gives a fuck?

00:16:28.040 Do you want the money or not?

00:16:30.060 Is what I always say, like...

00:16:31.640 The hell?

00:16:32.560 Yeah.

00:16:32.840 But then, like, then I started just telling people outright what I did because I was

00:16:37.740 like, I need you to understand so that you don't get too judgmental before you approve

00:16:42.720 for sure.

00:16:43.140 Yeah.

00:16:43.220 You need respect.

00:16:44.120 Yeah.

00:16:44.500 Like, it's...

00:16:45.300 And even when you're amongst...

00:16:46.940 And I'm sure you've noticed, too, because we go to a lot of the same things.

00:16:49.520 Like, sometimes when you meet traditional celebrities, they either love you or they think...

00:16:54.420 They're so offended that they have to share space with you.

00:16:57.100 Oh, my goodness.

00:16:57.580 Oh, my goodness.

00:16:57.600 There's no in-between.

00:16:58.740 They either, like, love online people.

00:17:00.200 They're like, oh, my God, I've seen your stuff.

00:17:02.500 Or they are like, I can't believe I have to fucking sit at a table with this person.

00:17:06.040 Which is crazy.

00:17:06.900 I be thinking about that.

00:17:07.840 I'm like, dang, you really pent up.

00:17:10.820 Man, you're so mad I'm here.

00:17:12.640 Like, because it's like they have to fit into this little box in order to become a

00:17:17.640 celebrity, mysterious, quiet, private, and I'm over here, who calling my food?

00:17:25.200 At the after party.

00:17:26.660 Being silly got you in the room.

00:17:28.360 There you go.

00:17:28.760 Hello.

00:17:29.260 Sorry.

00:17:30.440 Yeah, I think that's why, too, I've always been like, I'll never turn my back on the

00:17:34.540 internet.

00:17:35.100 Like, even if I move into other forms of entertainment, like you are, too, I would never be like,

00:17:40.420 yeah, fuck the internet.

00:17:41.420 I mean, not for those reasons.

00:17:43.280 For other reasons, maybe.

00:17:44.780 But for, like, the reasons of, like, being ashamed of coming from the internet, I was

00:17:48.400 like, I don't give a fuck.

00:17:49.760 I'm not, yeah.

00:17:50.660 It gave me everything I have now.

00:17:52.600 I am grateful to the internet.

00:17:54.640 Extremely grateful.

00:17:55.340 And even, like, you said you were a nurse, which we talked about on the very first episode,

00:17:58.820 but that was eons ago.

00:18:00.220 Yeah, 2022.

00:18:03.200 I, like, was signing the form today.

00:18:05.740 I said 2024.

00:18:06.860 No, 2025.

00:18:07.900 Oh, my God.

00:18:09.460 I know it's been a million years since we filmed.

00:18:12.480 I don't know what's happening.

00:18:13.620 Yeah.

00:18:13.980 And I think even with, like, when we talked about it, even then, I feel like it truly

00:18:21.020 has shifted completely in my head, like, how much more respect I have for people who've

00:18:25.900 been able to transcend the internet.

00:18:27.400 So, like, that's why I love people like Quinta Brunson or, like, Issa.

00:18:30.420 Oh, yeah.

00:18:31.220 Who came from the internet and have transcended and still love the internet.

00:18:35.060 And we look up to them.

00:18:36.640 I know.

00:18:37.320 Oh, they got to put us on Abbott Elementary.

00:18:39.740 Oh, my.

00:18:40.760 That would be crazy.

00:18:41.880 That would be so great.

00:18:43.120 You and I.

00:18:43.440 Let me DM her.

00:18:44.860 Let me go ahead and DM her.

00:18:47.400 No, this is my year of DMing.

00:18:49.740 That's actually so real.

00:18:50.980 I'm DMing everybody.

00:18:51.740 I love that.

00:18:52.320 I DM her.

00:18:53.660 Cast the director.

00:18:54.260 I say, hey, for me, here's my reel.

00:18:57.700 Here's the password.

00:18:59.360 How have auditions been going for you?

00:19:00.720 I've only done a few.

00:19:01.820 It's so hard.

00:19:03.000 It's so hard.

00:19:03.940 After the actor strike.

00:19:04.860 Yeah, especially.

00:19:06.040 I feel like self-tapes, too, make me feel like I want to die.

00:19:11.780 And I wish that wasn't the case.

00:19:13.220 And there's, like, skills to it.

00:19:14.540 And I'm like, do I have to learn?

00:19:17.820 Yeah, because you're taking acting classes and stuff.

00:19:20.220 I know you have been.

00:19:20.980 You've told me.

00:19:21.480 Girl, every noise in the fucking world.

00:19:23.600 Next is going to be bears.

00:19:25.360 I know.

00:19:26.320 It's going to sound like a Bugs Bunny fight out there soon.

00:19:32.220 Lions.

00:19:32.620 Yes.

00:19:33.540 You got to ask me about my love life.

00:19:37.840 And trust me, I will, Grace.

00:19:39.360 We talked about it on the first one, too.

00:19:40.620 I remember.

00:19:42.460 Me not knowing what I'm going to say.

00:19:43.820 You have to ask me about it.

00:19:46.420 Genuine.

00:19:47.560 What were we talking about?

00:19:48.640 Reels.

00:19:49.300 Oh, no.

00:19:49.840 Acting classes.

00:19:50.420 That's where we were.

00:19:51.440 You're taking them.

00:19:52.280 I would love to know your thoughts on them.

00:19:53.800 Because I'm going to start doing it this year.

00:19:55.520 Yes.

00:19:55.940 Okay.

00:19:56.200 I'm going to refer you.

00:19:57.220 Please do.

00:19:57.860 Because it's hard to find good ones.

00:20:00.240 They like to take your money.

00:20:01.740 And you learn nothing.

00:20:04.520 Like for like three years.

00:20:05.880 I said, wait a minute.

00:20:08.120 Oh, my God.

00:20:09.100 There was one school I went to.

00:20:11.100 I almost punched the mic.

00:20:12.080 One school I went to.

00:20:14.760 And like one of the classes, the scene was like there was a doctor and a patient.

00:20:19.720 And the patient was having cramps.

00:20:23.380 Okay.

00:20:23.660 And the teacher was like, you're not supposed to show that you're in pain.

00:20:30.260 That was my last class.

00:20:32.720 Hey, I've heard all I needed to hear.

00:20:34.340 I was like, a man is not going to tell me how I connect myself.

00:20:38.660 If I'm on my cycle, oh, my goodness.

00:20:41.580 You will not hear the end of it.

00:20:43.460 I'm shouting.

00:20:44.340 And it's like, and so that's kind of how it starts.

00:20:47.800 Like how those celebrities tune themselves in order to be in this box.

00:20:52.820 And then I come out saying, nah, I'm screaming.

00:20:55.160 I'm willing.

00:20:55.700 I'm messing on the B-hole.

00:20:58.440 I talked to Leo Gonzalez about this, too.

00:21:01.260 Like, because we're both, neither of us have ever taken an acting class, but we're going to.

00:21:05.680 And we joked about it on the pod, too.

00:21:08.200 But I was like, I know I'm going to this year.

00:21:09.880 So I need to.

00:21:11.080 That's on my list.

00:21:12.260 Moana.

00:21:12.920 Yeah.

00:21:13.180 Wakanda forever.

00:21:18.380 Right.

00:21:19.160 Disney princesses.

00:21:20.200 Disney princesses, to some extent.

00:21:23.100 Dude, I can I say I did.

00:21:26.460 I made a video talking shit, but in jest, in sillies.

00:21:31.480 Yeah.

00:21:32.080 Saying how like every someone person I know, which is about 50 of us total, all of whom I know personally,

00:21:38.680 went and auditioned for the live action one.

00:21:40.920 Like they got reads for it and stuff.

00:21:42.380 And then I follow all of them.

00:21:44.260 So I saw all of them.

00:21:45.520 And I said, that's so funny.

00:21:48.000 Because I haven't gotten anything.

00:21:50.560 Hey, guys.

00:21:52.020 Hey, guys.

00:21:53.300 Quick question.

00:21:54.820 And so I made like a silly joke about it on TikTok.

00:21:57.260 And like it did well, whatever, on TikTok.

00:21:59.620 But then Deadline wrote an article that quoted me and they said, I'll play Moana's dad if

00:22:07.140 that's what it takes, says Drew off Wallow in pitch for Moana live action movie.

00:22:12.420 Hey, that sucks.

00:22:13.980 Why would you quote that?

00:22:15.760 I said a lot of other funny things.

00:22:17.240 Why did you quote that one?

00:22:18.800 And then I did actually get a read.

00:22:21.600 Period.

00:22:22.660 As an extra.

00:22:24.260 And like I'm saying this now because I'm pretty confident I didn't get it.

00:22:28.880 Yeah, right.

00:22:29.580 No, right.

00:22:30.060 Because when the time passes.

00:22:31.800 Oh, yeah.

00:22:32.200 Oh, because they're filming it currently.

00:22:34.180 Oh, yeah.

00:22:35.280 Is that not the same with the children of blood and bone?

00:22:37.420 And I said, oh, oh, oh, well, I guess I have a couple of calls to make.

00:22:43.200 So like when I did the read, it was for like three background people.

00:22:47.820 And it was like coconut farmer, angry coconut farmer.

00:22:52.260 Yes.

00:22:52.880 Fisherman number three.

00:22:53.840 Yeah.

00:22:54.280 And I was vying for fisherman.

00:22:55.620 Yes.

00:22:56.000 Because he had the most lines.

00:22:57.380 And yes, I said he because all three of them were written for men.

00:22:59.940 And they said, we don't have any more female parts.

00:23:01.940 Do you care about reading for these?

00:23:03.100 I said, not at all.

00:23:04.140 I'll do them all.

00:23:05.360 And so I did.

00:23:05.980 Don't get a ponytail.

00:23:06.860 Yeah.

00:23:08.160 It's all the same at the end of the day.

00:23:09.880 Yeah.

00:23:10.100 If I turn around topless, I look like the rock in the back.

00:23:13.560 You can't tell the difference between me and Maui.

00:23:17.240 Away, away.

00:23:23.300 And so I did the reads and I sent them all in and like never heard back.

00:23:30.620 But the funny part is I was talking to someone else about it at like an AAPI event like last May.

00:23:36.980 And I was like, oh, yeah, I did a couple of reads for this.

00:23:39.960 And then he goes, oh, my God.

00:23:41.140 Yeah, they started filming.

00:23:42.500 That's true.

00:23:43.100 And then I go, they did.

00:23:45.220 And I was telling my sister later.

00:23:46.800 I was like, well, it's really heartbreaking to hear.

00:23:50.200 No, that's totally great.

00:23:51.260 Hey, I'll be right back if you'll excuse me.

00:23:53.420 Oh, my God.

00:23:54.060 And I was like, hopefully I got it.

00:23:55.820 They already started filming.

00:23:56.680 They already started filming.

00:23:57.500 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:23:58.140 That's the thing.

00:23:58.880 Like, it's such an interesting industry because it's like, it's not even rejection at that point.

00:24:03.040 Like, there's no expectations.

00:24:04.720 It's ghosting, really.

00:24:06.280 You just get ghosted, which is, hey, you know what?

00:24:09.220 Hey.

00:24:10.900 And then, like, it's so out of your hands, bro.

00:24:13.860 I know.

00:24:14.200 And that's honestly, I think, what's made me feel better about it.

00:24:17.060 Like, talking to other people who have done reads like you, other of my friends who are also auditioning.

00:24:22.180 It's like, even one of my friends recently told me, she's like, sometimes it's truly just, like, what they were picturing you don't look like.

00:24:30.620 So, she was saying, so, I've seen, I've been in rooms because she's, like, worked as, like, a writer and stuff for a long time.

00:24:36.120 She's like, I've been in rooms where, like, showrunners will watch, like, self-tapes.

00:24:39.900 Because the first five seconds, they're like, no, because it's just not who they pictured.

00:24:44.120 And that's what, that honestly makes me feel better.

00:24:46.560 Right.

00:24:47.020 Because it's so subjective.

00:24:48.260 It's not really, like, a skill issue.

00:24:49.940 It's more of a, like, yeah, I wasn't picturing you.

00:24:52.480 Which I'm sure sometimes it is a skill issue, but that's what I'm going to tell myself.

00:24:57.380 But sometimes you can tell, like, the actors, they be so curated.

00:25:01.540 Yeah, exactly.

00:25:02.860 Y'all picked the most cartoon.

00:25:04.920 I know, and I feel bored.

00:25:06.320 Like, I think about things like Bridgerton, right?

00:25:08.740 And I think about part of the draw to something like Bridgerton is the fact, which, by the

00:25:12.940 way, I think Grace would kill it in a Bridgerton.

00:25:16.440 Oh, stop it.

00:25:17.040 I think you would kill it.

00:25:18.700 Because you're so good at accents, too.

00:25:20.440 But also, I just think you would absolutely murder in that kind of role.

00:25:25.060 Shonda Rhimes, if you're watching this.

00:25:26.380 Shonda, please!

00:25:29.740 Even something like, Bridgerton has a lot of draw because the characters don't look like

00:25:33.920 what they typically look like.

00:25:35.400 Same thing with, like, even, like, something like Hamilton.

00:25:37.120 They don't look like what they typically look like.

00:25:39.040 In my head, when I read books or shit like that, I'm picturing me.

00:25:42.960 Period.

00:25:43.560 I don't give a fuck how pale they say that bitch is.

00:25:45.680 Hello.

00:25:46.220 Or how tiny and small.

00:25:47.660 I'm picturing me.

00:25:48.640 Because I think, I mean, it's so empowering, too.

00:25:51.640 Right.

00:25:51.900 Like, because those stories, they create, man.

00:25:57.320 I always have this white lady that's saving everybody.

00:26:00.140 I say, since when?

00:26:03.580 Hey, since when?

00:26:04.500 The, like, tiniest white girls, always saving everybody.

00:26:07.340 And I say, you know what?

00:26:09.080 Right.

00:26:09.440 Y'all can have it.

00:26:10.040 Y'all got the systemic power right now.

00:26:12.940 Y'all have it.

00:26:14.060 If I was in systemic power, but it would make more sense if a black woman is saving.

00:26:18.900 And that's what they-

00:26:19.300 I agree.

00:26:19.800 Like, think of, like, A Quiet Place, the most recent one they made.

00:26:23.720 Lupita Nyong'o had cancer.

00:26:26.300 And she saved everybody.

00:26:30.040 Yeah, they're gonna do it.

00:26:31.280 Pain medicine.

00:26:32.440 Right.

00:26:33.240 I said,

00:26:34.500 Hollywood.

00:26:38.900 Right, for real.

00:26:40.160 That's what I-

00:26:40.620 And that's why I think creators moving over into that world in a way where they're, like,

00:26:45.520 you and I are, we're like, that's what we really want to do.

00:26:47.820 We just fell into content creation, which is fine.

00:26:50.100 But that's where we're headed.

00:26:51.860 That's where we would like to be.

00:26:53.700 That's why I think the internet is so important, because otherwise, like, we would never get

00:26:57.660 seen.

00:26:58.440 Yeah.

00:26:58.740 They would never pick us.

00:26:59.600 Like, if we didn't force people to look at us, they would never look at us.

00:27:02.360 You're gonna look at me.

00:27:03.920 I'm so talented.

00:27:05.740 And I'm charming.

00:27:08.880 Which is half the battle.

00:27:10.400 Bro, I was-

00:27:10.860 It's literally charming, people.

00:27:12.260 Literally talking to Jordan the Stallion.

00:27:14.800 Yes.

00:27:15.140 And I was telling him, I was like, people talk about, like, talent and, like, money.

00:27:21.600 Charm?

00:27:22.400 Worth its weight in gold.

00:27:23.500 Make me sweat, make me hotter.

00:27:28.760 It's true.

00:27:29.740 It's so powerful.

00:27:31.220 It is so powerful.

00:27:32.120 That's why I said you're just like Tevi.

00:27:33.760 That's why I said you remind me of Tevi.

00:27:35.040 Like, that's half the fucking battle is literally getting people to like you.

00:27:39.820 And, like, and you know this, too.

00:27:41.320 Sometimes when people are considering you for things, they're like, oh, can we all hop on a call?

00:27:45.500 And I've told my family before, like, that's literally just to see if I'm an asshole.

00:27:49.840 Yeah.

00:27:50.160 Like, they just want to meet me and make sure I don't fucking suck.

00:27:52.840 And then they're like, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:27:53.840 Okay, yeah.

00:27:54.620 Like, because the calls are five minutes and pointless.

00:27:57.060 Right.

00:27:57.380 But it's just so I can get on there and be like-

00:27:59.760 What's good, y'all?

00:28:00.240 Yeah.

00:28:00.520 It's like-

00:28:01.020 Y'all want to see my puppy?

00:28:02.860 I get on there.

00:28:03.620 Is this thing on?

00:28:04.460 I start doing a type five.

00:28:05.700 And then they're like, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:28:07.520 I love her.

00:28:08.180 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:28:09.180 Yeah, yeah.

00:28:11.320 I've said that, too, because recently I've been doing a lot of hosting gigs.

00:28:15.960 And I feel like because my hosting gigs go on TikTok and Reels or whatever, sometimes

00:28:21.220 I'll get, like, feedback on how I can host better.

00:28:24.540 Right, right, right.

00:28:25.460 You need that.

00:28:26.620 Yeah, I do.

00:28:27.720 I always ask someone who has no idea what they're doing, how to do my job better.

00:28:31.200 Yes.

00:28:31.800 I always do that.

00:28:32.880 That's the first thing I do.

00:28:34.000 That's what you need.

00:28:35.520 I need to learn how to take criticism.

00:28:37.020 All right.

00:28:37.800 And I was telling people that when they hire us to do stuff like that, go to things or

00:28:43.040 whatever, it's literally not to just stand there and be a prop.

00:28:47.040 Like, they want you to be-

00:28:48.900 Personality hires.

00:28:49.280 Yeah, that's the personality.

00:28:50.340 Yeah.

00:28:50.700 So they're like, no, we want to show your personality.

00:28:53.140 I want that to be evident.

00:28:54.280 And I've told people, like, I can charm the pants off anybody.

00:28:57.320 And then you can, too.

00:28:58.940 You tell me.

00:28:59.700 I just remembered, too, when you posted with Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande.

00:29:08.600 Oh, my gosh.

00:29:11.060 Grace, you piss me off, dude.

00:29:13.100 The fact that she always does, she's like, with anybody.

00:29:17.280 Doesn't matter how they miss.

00:29:18.280 With anybody.

00:29:19.260 Okay, so this is what happened, right?

00:29:20.760 Yeah, please tell me about that.

00:29:21.780 So we were in London for the Wicked premiere.

00:29:23.720 Yes.

00:29:24.120 And they were, like, teasing at, like, maybe they would come.

00:29:29.400 And since I know, like, the TikTok team, I know when they're on, when they're serious.

00:29:33.320 I said, they coming.

00:29:35.140 We are coming.

00:29:36.680 No doubt about it.

00:29:38.560 So, but we didn't know when they were going to come.

00:29:41.880 So they, like, took us all from the hotel we were staying at, which was a five-star hotel,

00:29:45.880 to, like, a, like, hotel that looks like a castle.

00:29:48.940 Wait, I know the hotel you're staying at.

00:29:50.480 You filmed with Markel.

00:29:51.720 Yes.

00:29:51.920 That's when you filmed your wig video.

00:29:52.880 So, okay, I stayed in that hotel, too.

00:29:55.160 It's fucking nice.

00:29:56.300 It's so nice.

00:29:57.820 I've stayed in that same one.

00:29:59.020 Girl, this man knocked out my door talking about what you do tonight.

00:30:06.260 He said, you and a little something else.

00:30:09.520 Probably a little extra, too.

00:30:11.100 It was when Markel was in the room.

00:30:14.380 I was literally in a robe.

00:30:15.800 I was like, I'm filming with my friend.

00:30:17.120 I said, he probably think I do OnlyFans.

00:30:19.940 With Markel?

00:30:22.880 All right, y'all.

00:30:26.260 We love Markel.

00:30:27.880 Markel, we fucking love you.

00:30:29.080 We love you.

00:30:30.220 Okay, so finish.

00:30:31.260 You were telling me about Wicked.

00:30:31.900 Yeah.

00:30:32.300 So we got to the castle, basically.

00:30:33.980 Castle Hotel.

00:30:35.260 And we were making our TikToks, running around.

00:30:37.420 There was a little step and repeat that said Wicked on it.

00:30:39.960 And then, all of a sudden, they come out from around the corner.

00:30:44.160 Everybody's screaming.

00:30:45.200 Everybody got their phones out.

00:30:46.460 My phone is in my bag because I decided I wanted to be off my phone.

00:30:52.020 So I'm over here struggling, opening my bag.

00:30:54.440 I'm, like, screaming.

00:30:56.120 The team is, like, the TikTok team is recording us.

00:30:58.820 And I'm, like, in the videos, like, trying to open my bag.

00:31:01.700 Everyone's recording that.

00:31:03.520 Anyway, so we all line up.

00:31:04.880 And they're like, you have, like, 10 seconds to shoot with them.

00:31:07.640 I said, 10 seconds?

00:31:09.200 I said, hmm.

00:31:10.220 I know what I'm going to do.

00:31:11.520 Huh, that's even more time than I need.

00:31:18.400 That's seven seconds too long.

00:31:22.520 So it's my turn.

00:31:23.720 I get up to them.

00:31:24.860 I'm, like, hey, guys.

00:31:25.740 It's so nice to meet you.

00:31:27.680 Cynthia, I love you.

00:31:29.140 Ariana, I love you.

00:31:30.000 We're going to do, like, a video where we pose, like, masculine.

00:31:36.500 And then we're going to end feminine.

00:31:39.320 And Cynthia was, like, all right.

00:31:40.980 Absolutely.

00:31:42.200 And Ariana was, like, what?

00:31:45.460 They were not knowing at all what you're talking about.

00:31:48.000 And I was, like, Ariana, please.

00:31:49.340 We got this.

00:31:50.020 We got this.

00:31:50.520 We got this.

00:31:51.400 And so in the video, you can tell Ariana was still trying to get the vibe.

00:31:56.900 She was trying to follow your lead.

00:31:57.900 She was trying to get the vibe.

00:31:59.080 And I could have explained it better, possibly.

00:32:01.700 But we had 10 seconds.

00:32:02.720 Yeah, and when they say 10 seconds, they mean fucking 10 seconds.

00:32:05.040 Seconds.

00:32:05.460 Like, literally.

00:32:05.980 I talked to only Cynthia at the L.A. Wicked premiere for, like, hosting stuff.

00:32:12.760 But they said, one question.

00:32:14.200 One question.

00:32:15.640 Okay.

00:32:16.140 Only one question.

00:32:18.380 And I was like, yeah, I heard you the first time.

00:32:20.360 God, when I went to the Globes, dude, I was standing on the others.

00:32:27.240 They'll literally shoot me dead if I go on the other side of that shrub.

00:32:29.980 Like, the shrub that's in all the videos, like, they will kill me.

00:32:32.540 So I was standing on the other side of it before carpet opened.

00:32:36.100 Because I was like, you know, there's no room anywhere.

00:32:39.280 And I'm really close to everyone.

00:32:40.180 So I was standing on the other side.

00:32:41.340 And then she, this girl starts walking past me.

00:32:43.200 She comes back.

00:32:43.740 She goes, are you pressed?

00:32:46.520 And I go, yes, I am.

00:32:48.420 I'm within style.

00:32:49.080 She goes, behind the shrub.

00:32:51.160 I was like, oh, okay.

00:32:52.120 No, I know.

00:32:52.600 I was just standing over here because it's kind of crowded.

00:32:54.400 So I was waiting until carpet opens.

00:32:56.100 Well, it's 2.30 and carpet opened at 2.

00:32:59.160 Behind the fucking shrub.

00:33:00.960 Right?

00:33:01.360 And then I go, all right.

00:33:02.960 And I go, so behind the shrub.

00:33:05.080 Not one laugh.

00:33:06.860 She could not.

00:33:07.800 If she could have killed me with her eyes, she would have.

00:33:10.180 And I said, oh, okay.

00:33:12.440 Well, I'll go ahead and get behind that shrub, girl.

00:33:15.060 Thank you, sweetie.

00:33:16.060 Thank you.

00:33:16.760 Needed that.

00:33:17.800 Needed that.

00:33:18.620 That's the best, though.

00:33:19.640 I love it.

00:33:20.180 I did that yesterday at the airport.

00:33:22.000 They're like, you need to talk to that agent.

00:33:24.580 I say, that agent?

00:33:28.620 That's why I said, Grace.

00:33:30.220 You're so me, dude.

00:33:32.340 Like, because she started it.

00:33:35.500 Like, no.

00:33:37.440 So deeply unserious.

00:33:39.680 Like, it's so, Grace is so deeply unserious about so many things.

00:33:43.860 Oh, yeah.

00:33:44.080 Which is one of the things I love most about you.

00:33:46.340 Other than how fucking hilarious you are.

00:33:48.820 Thank you.

00:33:48.960 But my sister literally texted me and said, please bring up the video that you filmed

00:33:53.180 with Markel where your wig flew off.

00:33:54.600 Oh, yeah.

00:33:56.180 I was going to say.

00:33:57.420 And I was like, Markel.

00:34:00.960 He was so quick to want to post it.

00:34:03.320 I said, wait.

00:34:04.120 Let me just get my makeup on.

00:34:06.360 So that was actually, like, refilm number, like, three or four.

00:34:10.560 Yeah.

00:34:11.120 At that point.

00:34:11.940 The way Markel falls back and hits the bed and just bounces right off.

00:34:15.240 And he did that every single time.

00:34:17.060 And he's so energetic.

00:34:20.280 He's got so much energy.

00:34:22.800 He must be an Olympic gymnast or something.

00:34:24.840 He has to be.

00:34:25.820 In another life, he could be.

00:34:27.280 Yes.

00:34:27.740 In this life, he could be.

00:34:29.120 When I had him on, he was all over the place.

00:34:31.480 He was telling me, he's like, oh, girl, I'm going to Taylor Swift tomorrow with Charlie.

00:34:35.600 And I go, really?

00:34:36.200 He goes, yeah.

00:34:36.840 He goes, I don't know much about that white girl, but I'm going to have fun.

00:34:39.160 Yeah, I was like, I don't know much about that white girl, but I'm going to have fun.

00:34:43.880 Literally, everybody loves it.

00:34:45.500 Like, he is, when you talk about Charmer, he is, like, number one.

00:34:50.960 I remember when we were at the premiere and they were, like, pushing everyone away.

00:34:55.820 Like, the lady was like, this is only for this area.

00:34:58.660 And so, he was, like, hiding behind, like, a podium in the building, waiting for Ariana's boyfriend to come out so he could get a video with him.

00:35:09.760 And he got it.

00:35:11.600 He just gets that, like, no fear.

00:35:16.560 No, not at all.

00:35:17.460 He winds up to these people.

00:35:18.460 Yeah, I saw him at In The Mix, TikTok In The Mix in Arizona.

00:35:21.420 Oh, yeah.

00:35:21.940 Yeah, I saw him backstage after I finished working.

00:35:25.020 He was like, oh, girl, I'm here because I know Cardi's coming here.

00:35:27.880 And I go, yeah, they were telling me no one's really going up to her or they're not allowed to.

00:35:32.020 And he goes, oh, I know, but I just hang out just in case.

00:35:35.300 I was like, and he met her.

00:35:37.260 Yeah.

00:35:37.540 So, joke's on me.

00:35:38.980 So cool.

00:35:40.500 I wish.

00:35:41.820 That's how I feel when I see your stuff, too.

00:35:43.480 I'm like, Grace, what are you?

00:35:44.800 Grace, get down from there.

00:35:46.240 Grace.

00:35:46.800 Get down from there.

00:35:50.780 I have to remember, I wanted to remember to bring this up.

00:35:53.460 One time, Grace texted me out of the blue, just a picture of her smiling with a chipped tooth.

00:35:58.980 No context.

00:36:00.600 Like, none at all.

00:36:01.500 And I said, Grace, what does this mean?

00:36:03.380 You didn't pick up your FaceTime.

00:36:05.120 Oh, that's right.

00:36:06.060 You didn't FaceTime me.

00:36:06.800 So, you should have picked it up.

00:36:09.340 And then I said, Grace, what does this mean?

00:36:11.280 And I said, are you okay?

00:36:13.740 And then you didn't text me back for hours.

00:36:15.480 And then when you did, you're like, oh, yeah, no big deal.

00:36:17.760 Grace, what the fuck are you talking about?

00:36:20.380 What are you talking about?

00:36:21.340 What are you talking about?

00:36:22.440 Doesn't it make life more...

00:36:23.820 Doesn't it make life more...

00:36:26.280 Every time you text me, I know it's going to be insane.

00:36:29.820 Oh, yeah.

00:36:30.540 Oh, yeah.

00:36:31.040 Or it's going to be a picture of you with someone.

00:36:32.980 I'm like, what are you doing with that person?

00:36:36.040 And they're just hanging out.

00:36:36.640 Get down from there.

00:36:39.680 That was the day of the Hunger Games premiere.

00:36:43.040 You chipped your tooth at the Hunger Games premiere?

00:36:45.040 The night before the carpet.

00:36:48.940 How?

00:36:49.300 Oh, on a chicken wing.

00:36:52.240 Really?

00:36:53.040 Yeah.

00:36:54.120 Damn.

00:36:55.080 Patrick Mahomes' wife probably would have guessed that.

00:36:58.620 Fried chicken.

00:36:59.700 Fried chicken.

00:37:00.900 Chicken fried.

00:37:02.720 Chicken fried steak.

00:37:04.880 Um, no.

00:37:05.720 Tacos.

00:37:08.840 Both wrong answers, by the way.

00:37:10.720 That's your husband.

00:37:11.580 That's my man.

00:37:12.120 My man, my man, my man.

00:37:13.780 Yeah.

00:37:15.960 Ah, chicken.

00:37:17.120 So you chipped your tooth on a chicken wing.

00:37:20.740 Yeah.

00:37:21.440 How about just eating too, just got too into it?

00:37:24.740 Oh, I mean.

00:37:26.340 Just enjoying myself.

00:37:27.780 At this point, I should probably get it done well.

00:37:31.340 I don't know.

00:37:32.660 Uh, but yeah, I was like, this is the night I'm going to meet Viola Davis.

00:37:35.800 And everyone compares me to Viola Davis.

00:37:39.080 I want to make it good.

00:37:42.380 I'm going to chip my tooth.

00:37:43.640 It was such a hectic.

00:37:45.100 Every day is, every day is a winding road.

00:37:49.960 Like, legit.

00:37:52.080 That's why I said, you're, you are so fantastical in so many ways.

00:37:57.120 That's like the only word I can think to describe you.

00:37:59.460 Because it's not like awful, but it is insane.

00:38:02.960 Like, you know what I'm saying?

00:38:04.380 It's crazy and unpredictable.

00:38:05.960 But it's not bad.

00:38:07.180 It's just a lot.

00:38:07.840 It's just a lot.

00:38:09.040 Yeah, that's what I said.

00:38:10.680 It's literally a lot.

00:38:12.740 That's why I'm always like, are you okay?

00:38:14.860 I feel like I texted Grace that so many times.

00:38:17.720 Are you okay?

00:38:19.060 She's like, yeah, why wouldn't I be?

00:38:20.460 Yeah, why wouldn't I?

00:38:21.340 Of course.

00:38:22.000 I mean, I don't chip my tooth, but like, I broke off.

00:38:25.360 But other than that, I'm chilling.

00:38:27.280 I can breathe better now.

00:38:29.340 Right?

00:38:29.920 Can you?

00:38:30.360 With one less tooth.

00:38:31.480 No.

00:38:31.900 There you go.

00:38:32.680 A lot more air in there.

00:38:33.500 One in there, yeah.

00:38:34.020 You said mouth breathing's never been easier.

00:38:36.340 Okay.

00:38:37.480 Women in STEM.

00:38:38.400 Women.

00:38:39.760 When it comes to acting, what would you say is like a dream, like show, role, anything

00:38:46.300 like that?

00:38:47.120 Wakanda forever.

00:38:50.460 What's happening?

00:38:53.420 What's happening to me again?

00:38:55.940 Hello, Drew.

00:38:57.940 It is me again.

00:38:59.800 No, I would, I know I would eat that up and I got the physique for it.

00:39:04.000 Right.

00:39:04.880 Anything Marvel.

00:39:05.840 Because Grace is jacked.

00:39:07.500 You're jacked, bro.

00:39:09.360 And I mean that very literally.

00:39:10.560 I started jujitsu with Vinny Hacker.

00:39:12.920 I saw that.

00:39:13.940 That's.

00:39:14.500 See what I mean?

00:39:15.340 That's the shit I'm talking about.

00:39:16.860 I'm like, what do you mean you're doing jujitsu with Vinny Hacker?

00:39:21.480 What are you talking about?

00:39:22.640 He posted on a story looking for a studio and then there's this guy that owns a studio

00:39:27.100 and he's in love with me.

00:39:28.080 So I was like, oh, you can get a picture.

00:39:30.780 So I said, hey, I got a guy for you.

00:39:32.840 And then you went too?

00:39:34.000 He's legit.

00:39:34.660 He trained Chadwick Boseman.

00:39:36.300 Like he's legit.

00:39:39.880 So how is jujitsu with Vinny Hacker?

00:39:42.000 Is it fun?

00:39:43.140 First class.

00:39:44.400 He came back.

00:39:45.560 He came to me.

00:39:46.320 He's like, we got to do a tournament.

00:39:47.840 I said, wait.

00:39:49.580 What are you, duos?

00:39:51.100 The two of you should do WWE.

00:39:53.180 Wait.

00:39:53.720 He would kill at it.

00:39:55.380 I mean, he did boxing.

00:39:56.740 Now he's doing jujitsu.

00:39:58.380 But I'm like, so the day after I had to leave to go speak at Harvard.

00:40:02.780 Yeah.

00:40:03.300 Random fun.

00:40:04.020 Which we will talk about.

00:40:06.900 Yes, please go.

00:40:08.000 But ever since he's been posting that he's been there ever since.

00:40:11.800 I'm like, dude, come on.

00:40:13.420 Like, I'm not going to work.

00:40:15.160 It's been a week and you're already like a blue belt or whatever next belt is.

00:40:21.540 I don't even know.

00:40:22.520 I just.

00:40:23.320 You're not going to continue in your jujitsu journey?

00:40:25.260 I want to.

00:40:26.000 But like, I like to do things like hand in hand.

00:40:28.220 Like he ran.

00:40:30.760 He ran.

00:40:31.360 He squinted a head without me.

00:40:32.660 He ran.

00:40:33.940 That's fucked up.

00:40:35.200 Like.

00:40:35.820 You should start doing something about him.

00:40:37.480 Right.

00:40:38.060 You should go enter a tournament.

00:40:38.980 Watching anime.

00:40:41.780 He loves anime.

00:40:43.480 He loves anime.

00:40:59.560 I did jujitsu with Vinnie Hacker the other day.

00:41:01.500 Right.

00:41:02.340 Right.

00:41:03.140 And you know what's funny is.

00:41:04.180 When I brought up WWE.

00:41:05.400 I realized.

00:41:06.920 That.

00:41:07.480 One time.

00:41:08.080 Grace texted me and said.

00:41:09.320 Do you want to go to WWE Raw with me?

00:41:21.040 Never mind.

00:41:22.200 Yeah.

00:41:22.440 And I said.

00:41:22.960 Oh.

00:41:23.240 Because I'm not going to let you.

00:41:25.780 I didn't think it was never mind.

00:41:27.540 The way you wrote it made it sound like.

00:41:29.220 You just decided not to go anymore.

00:41:31.480 You said.

00:41:32.120 If you were thinking of going with me.

00:41:33.440 Forget it.

00:48:32.040 But I said, I commented on it because it was funny, but I commented on it and I said, Jason

00:48:35.980 Momoa is Hawaiian.

00:48:36.840 So you will not find him there.

00:50:16.340 I said, there's big dogs.

00:50:18.340 I know.

00:50:19.000 I was talking to Monet X Change about it on her podcast.

00:50:22.300 We were talking about, because she was doing one of those things where she tells me like

00:50:25.960 Disney princes and then I like pick one and then it goes against another one, whatever.

00:50:29.540 It was like Hercules and like, I don't even know, the dude from Little Mermaid, Eric, right?

00:50:36.160 And then I was like, okay, Hercules, because I like a big dude.

00:50:38.800 I like big titties.

00:50:39.880 Oh my goodness.

00:50:40.540 Yeah.

00:50:40.720 I need, I need some meat up here.

00:50:42.860 Yeah.

00:50:43.080 Big, big.

00:50:43.600 Some guns on them.

00:50:44.460 I was like explaining this to my fiance the other day, because I was telling him, there's

00:50:49.540 a video I have that's like one of the most popular ones I've ever made and it's about

00:50:53.900 him.

00:50:54.260 It's just pictures and videos of him.

00:50:56.280 But the first clip is the most popular one, which is like just a clip of him running really

00:51:01.420 fast on like a treadmill topless, right?

00:51:03.780 Tits out and everything.

00:51:04.760 Slot.

00:51:05.300 Tits out.

00:51:06.940 I can see your nipples.

00:51:10.040 You're a man.

00:51:10.900 And I was telling him, the bitches eat that clip up.

00:51:16.240 Like I was telling him about it and he goes, yeah, why?

00:51:18.280 Is it just because my shirt's off?

00:51:19.360 And I was like, you don't know anything.

00:51:21.400 You don't know anything.

00:51:22.060 You're a dumbass.

00:51:22.940 You don't know anything.

00:51:23.700 Hey, guy.

00:51:24.600 It's not happening there.

00:51:25.780 I was like, I don't know how to explain it.

00:51:27.880 I was like, you just, you're just like like capable.

00:51:30.440 I don't know how to explain it.

00:51:31.400 Right.

00:51:31.800 Security.

00:51:32.740 Yeah.

00:51:32.960 Like you could put me over your shoulder, carry me out in a case of a fire.

00:51:36.540 There's this app going viral right now.

00:51:39.500 It's called Protector.

00:51:40.360 And it's like all security guards.

00:51:42.600 Oh, in a good way.

00:51:44.660 Yeah.

00:51:44.960 Sounds kind of horrifying.

00:51:46.180 Men have a common goal scares me.

00:51:49.880 Depends on what it is.

00:51:50.900 They're like security guards for hire.

00:51:53.180 Oh, okay.

00:51:54.460 That's kind of smart.

00:51:55.340 Yeah, it is.

00:51:56.080 That's really smart.

00:51:56.860 So all the girls are like, can you do, can I hire you as the groom?

00:52:01.760 Y'all, let's choose something else now.

00:52:03.740 I love when women objectify men on TikTok and they write the funniest comments I've ever seen.

00:52:09.180 Yes.

00:52:09.420 When they write like, they put like the hand emojis and they're like, don't worry.

00:52:13.540 Big mama.

00:52:14.000 Big mama's got this exactly.

00:52:16.980 Don't worry.

00:52:18.100 Don't worry, ladies.

00:52:19.260 I got this one.

00:52:20.520 I'm laughing every time I'm laughing.

00:52:22.100 It's so good.

00:52:22.740 You know what's funny?

00:52:23.300 This is such a weird loop back to the beginning.

00:52:26.240 But like in my standup, there's a joke I have about security guards because one time I was talking to this woman who I love.

00:52:34.980 She is very sweet.

00:52:37.600 She's very sweet though.

00:52:39.100 And one time she was talking to me and she was like, I can't believe you're someone.

00:52:42.980 I didn't know that.

00:52:44.040 And she goes, I know a bunch of them.

00:52:45.640 And I go, do you?

00:52:47.600 Because she's from here.

00:52:48.760 She's from L.A.

00:52:49.840 And she, I know where she's from in L.A.

00:52:51.880 So I'm kind of like, I kind of doubt that.

00:52:54.800 But like, really?

00:52:56.240 I was like, oh, are you?

00:52:57.620 She goes, oh, yeah.

00:52:59.360 And she goes, I know a bunch of them.

00:53:00.960 Such like sweet people.

00:53:02.920 And I go, yeah, yeah.

00:53:04.020 And she goes, and they make the best security guards.

00:53:06.980 And I said, oh.

00:53:08.880 How did you?

00:53:10.220 Right, right.

00:53:11.080 I said, well, is it racist if it's always true?

00:53:14.200 Or is it more of a PEMDAS situation?

00:53:18.280 Honestly, I was thinking about that the other day.

00:53:20.640 Because there's some things that my African dad will do.

00:53:26.080 Like, just the loud phone calls.

00:53:30.060 Like, you can hear him from the parking lot.

00:53:33.040 Like, it's not cute.

00:53:35.160 And I'm like, yeah, he, African parents is pastors.

00:53:39.260 Yeah.

00:53:40.720 That's what I was like.

00:53:42.120 With Samoan men, the best, always a bouncer.

00:53:46.700 In L.A., always a bouncer.

00:53:48.540 The first TikTok party I ever went to,

00:53:51.180 the whole thing's being bounced by only Samoan dudes.

00:53:53.840 I knew two of them.

00:53:55.600 When I did Wanted To stuff, I did like,

00:53:58.120 I hosted a gig for Disney with Wanted To.

00:54:00.560 The entire band, I knew.

00:54:02.720 I was related to two of them.

00:54:04.040 And all of the dancers, I knew.

00:54:06.200 And two of them played football with my boyfriend.

00:54:08.140 Or with my man.

00:54:09.060 Oh, wow.

00:54:09.760 So I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:54:12.340 No, that stereotype's always true.

00:54:13.940 Which I, I don't know.

00:54:15.800 I can't believe you said, never mind.

00:54:19.920 I can't.

00:54:21.220 Whatever.

00:54:21.660 I think that, yeah, I was, I, I was laughing when I was thinking about security.

00:54:27.700 Cause you said security.

00:54:28.580 I was like, yeah, I mean, Samoan dudes are, they're always bouncers.

00:54:31.980 My dad was a bouncer for years just cause my uncle, even Billy did bouncing for a tiny bit.

00:54:38.880 Just big dudes who can fight.

00:54:40.880 So they're like, and y'all look good.

00:54:42.480 Yeah, and they're charming as hell.

00:54:44.460 And when I went to school in Hawaii, um, every single club I ever went to was obviously Samoan dudes bouncing.

00:54:52.280 And when I was underage and I was using a fake, I would be like, I'd go up to them and I'd be like, hi, oh my God.

00:54:59.240 I'd be like, ta lo fa, ta lo fa la mama loli so ifua.

00:55:02.560 Yeah.

00:55:02.980 Teach me that.

00:55:04.000 Oh, I would love to teach you that.

00:55:05.880 Yes.

00:55:05.980 Okay, so like, well, we'll just say hi first is ta lo fa, ta lo fa.

00:55:10.760 Ta lo fa.

00:55:11.780 There you go.

00:55:12.440 That's just hi.

00:55:13.220 And then bye is, bye, well, when you say goodbye and you say like, you say to fa so ifua, which means like, to fa so ifua.

00:55:23.360 To fa so ifua.

00:55:25.140 Yeah, that means goodbye.

00:55:26.280 I wish you good.

00:55:26.980 And I wish you good health.

00:55:28.520 Good health.

00:55:29.260 Yeah.

00:55:29.680 Okay.

00:55:29.760 So you're like to fa so ifua or just the shortened version is fa, which is just bye.

00:55:34.600 Fa, yeah, fa.

00:55:35.980 That's just bye.

00:55:36.820 Bye fa.

00:55:40.300 Bye fa.

00:55:43.880 That's so funny.

00:55:45.080 And it's also someone's language is all about inflection too.

00:55:48.200 So they're very like, their words go up and down.

00:55:50.760 Sing sanghi.

00:55:51.340 Yeah, they're up and down and up and down.

00:55:53.500 So like, when I say ta lo fa, ma lo le soy fua, that means like, it's good to see you in good health.

00:55:59.780 It's good to see you.

00:56:00.460 So you say, ma lo le soy fua.

00:56:03.460 Ma lo le soy fua.

00:56:05.260 There you go.

00:56:05.980 And then when you say it all together, you're like, ma lo le soy fua.

00:56:09.200 Ma lo le soy fua.

00:56:10.600 That's perfect.

00:56:11.320 Look at you nailing it.

00:56:13.340 There's a lot at stake here.

00:56:15.380 I don't think you.

00:56:16.180 You have no idea.

00:56:16.980 I don't think you understand.

00:56:20.100 Well, you could say an easy one is I love you, which is alofa atu.

00:56:24.320 Alofa atu.

00:56:25.380 Alofa atu.

00:56:26.140 Yeah, that just means I love you.

00:56:27.760 It's a little too soon for that.

00:56:29.060 It's a little too soon.

00:56:29.560 Yeah.

00:56:30.500 Keep that in the chamber.

00:56:31.460 I will.

00:56:34.660 You could say, um, ki-o means shit.

00:56:39.040 Oh.

00:56:39.480 Yeah.

00:56:39.940 Ki-o.

00:56:40.800 Ki-o.

00:56:41.720 Ki-o.

00:56:42.440 Ki-o.

00:56:42.760 Ki-o.

00:56:44.100 Ki-o.

00:56:44.720 Shit.

00:56:46.980 Ufa means fuck, which could be like, fuck.

00:56:51.000 Like, oh.

00:56:51.860 Like, exclaim, when you exclaim it.

00:56:53.740 Ufa.

00:56:54.360 Ufa.

00:56:55.060 Yeah.

00:56:56.620 He cut me off.

00:56:57.840 Ufa.

00:56:58.140 Susu-poki means suck my dick.

00:57:01.660 I'm going to say that.

00:57:02.640 Just in case.

00:57:03.220 Poki.

00:57:03.860 Wait.

00:57:04.320 Poki.

00:57:04.620 Poki bowls?

00:57:05.600 Yeah.

00:57:06.240 Yeah.

00:57:07.060 I know.

00:57:07.420 It's unfortunate.

00:57:08.580 How does that?

00:57:09.780 Poki means dick.

00:57:10.740 It's like a, it's a colloquial way of saying dick in someone.

00:57:13.720 Poki.

00:57:14.340 P-O-K-I.

00:57:15.720 P-O-K-E is the Hawaiian word for like fish.

00:57:19.000 Oh.

00:57:19.240 The way they cut the fish.

00:57:20.000 Wow.

00:57:20.540 So.

00:57:21.560 Poki.

00:57:22.220 It's like, when you say, it's so funny because when I was learning someone language in college,

00:57:26.200 my professor, the first year, was obviously a full Samoan man and he moved from Samoa

00:57:31.280 and he was teaching.

00:57:32.340 And he said, like, he didn't know any English when he moved to Hawaii, so he was like learning

00:57:35.560 as he was going to school and stuff.

00:57:37.480 And Poki and P-O-K-E are two different words.

00:57:39.720 Like, P-O-K-E means fish.

00:57:41.220 P-O-K-E means dick.

00:57:42.000 So he said, like, whenever people would offer him P-O-K-E, he thought they were fucking with

00:57:45.300 him.

00:57:45.540 Like, he was like, are you, what are you trying to say?

00:57:47.620 What are you trying to say?

00:57:48.300 You want some P-O-K-E?

00:57:50.920 So that's a good one for you.

00:57:52.580 I would say T-A-L-O-F-A.

00:57:53.680 T-A-L-O-F-A.

00:57:55.580 And Puka means, Puka means chubby or fat.

00:57:59.200 Like, it depends on how you use it.

00:58:01.000 That's what you think of regular words.

00:58:02.580 Hey, Puka.

00:58:04.600 Pookie.

00:58:05.260 Yeah.

00:58:06.020 I hope you're happy.

00:58:07.500 We've been talking about all kinds of things.

00:58:09.900 I can't believe I didn't bring up your love interest sooner.

00:58:13.540 T-A-L-O-F-A.

00:58:16.280 I know.

00:58:16.840 Let me find out you're marrying into my family.

00:58:18.500 I would be so excited.

00:58:19.380 I'll shit myself.

00:58:19.920 I do want to give you some silly little fun facts about yourself.

00:58:25.000 Oh.

00:58:25.380 That we've been.

00:58:26.040 Are you serious?

00:58:26.880 Yeah, absolutely.

00:58:27.620 I'm trying to turn.

00:58:28.320 I'm trying to take Nardmore's gig.

00:58:30.580 I'm trying to.

00:58:31.260 True.

00:58:32.060 Well, let's see.

00:58:33.160 Okay.

00:58:46.520 I'm like, I taught content creation, but like, but like, it's like.

00:58:51.600 You said just to be yourself.

00:58:53.300 Yeah.

00:58:58.040 Me, when I did anything for Forbes, I'm like, girl, I don't know why the fuck they asked me.

00:59:01.640 Gosh, that was one of them.

00:59:02.900 I'd be like, I ain't got no businesses with your kids.

00:59:06.640 She ain't got me up in here.

00:59:07.720 Fuck.

00:59:08.620 They love you.

00:59:09.900 In 2013, she was voted most humorous at her high school.

00:59:14.220 Right.

00:59:15.420 I didn't know people knew me.

00:59:19.220 Most humorous.

00:59:20.460 Right.

00:59:21.000 And I was like, for people to vote, they have to know me.

00:59:24.780 I was like, how y'all know me?

00:59:26.480 Like, I thought I was just being like a little gremlin, like, running around just like doing mischief.

00:59:34.560 Well, turns out you were.

00:59:35.820 You were making people giggle.

00:59:37.080 I was voted most likely to want to be stranded on an island with, which I felt was racially charged.

00:59:42.100 Right.

00:59:42.840 And I said, we're both going to die.

00:59:44.540 If we get stranded on an island together, you're crazy.

00:59:46.660 I would go up to the, how was I going to say, the pastor of the school.

00:59:51.040 The president.

00:59:52.760 The president of the school.

00:59:54.760 I demand a recount.

00:59:55.920 I demand.

00:59:58.000 It says, for your high school dancing with the staff night, you did a seated dance performance to Thinking About You by Frank Ocean.

01:00:05.300 Yeah.

01:00:07.280 Hey, why'd you do that?

01:00:09.580 Do you have any comments on that?

01:00:12.260 You know, and it was a promposal-ish.

01:00:16.080 Yeah, it was a promposal for one of my friends.

01:00:19.000 For like, you were asking someone or they were asking someone?

01:00:21.560 They were asking someone.

01:00:23.420 But yeah, that was.

01:00:24.540 Dancing with the staff night?

01:00:25.640 Why that night?

01:00:27.060 And just like everything else in my life, no rhyme or reason.

01:00:33.120 That's just kind of happening.

01:00:34.120 Just vibes.

01:00:35.300 100%.

01:00:35.660 So now that I think about it, I thought it was a talent show to this day.

01:00:41.800 You said, well, I heard there was going to be attention given to me, so I will be there.

01:00:47.380 Wow.

01:00:47.820 I remember that.

01:00:48.480 Oh, wow.

01:00:48.900 It's taking me back.

01:00:49.660 No, next question, please.

01:00:50.560 It was like Timothee Chalamet's dance that he did at the talent show.

01:00:56.760 That's how I feel about it.

01:00:58.180 His was cool, though.

01:00:59.480 You're just having war flashbacks to it.

01:01:03.660 Help, help.

01:01:06.020 Cut the cameras.

01:01:07.220 This last one says that your mom is a professor who started a shea butter company.

01:01:11.580 Yeah.

01:01:11.980 After years of making homemade shea butter for Grace and her siblings when they were growing up.

01:01:15.340 Yes.

01:01:15.900 That's a beautiful thing.

01:01:16.780 It is.

01:01:17.500 And how do you pronounce the name?

01:01:19.260 It's Aloe Koshay.

01:01:20.840 Aloe Koshay.

01:01:21.240 But actually, even funner fact, Aloe Yoga came for us.

01:01:25.300 So now we have to change the name.

01:01:27.280 What the fuck?

01:01:28.260 Are you serious?

01:01:29.680 Day in the life of Grace.

01:01:33.900 Grace.

01:01:35.560 What the fuck, Grace?

01:01:37.500 Yeah.

01:01:38.060 Just everything.

01:01:39.300 It's just you're like, funny you bring that up.

01:01:42.900 It's a fun fact to everything.

01:01:45.100 Yeah.

01:01:45.540 I can't like, I could say the name, but.

01:01:48.740 We're changing it.

01:01:50.300 But it's a beautiful thing that your mom did that.

01:01:52.240 Yeah.

01:01:52.360 And that's beautiful.

01:01:53.520 She's amazing.

01:01:54.560 Like, she has like, her elixirs that she makes for us.

01:01:58.440 Yeah, totally.

01:01:59.160 Because I have like, eczema and then my other sister will have like, psoriasis.

01:02:02.240 So she'll like, make us our like, own natural, like, home-based treatment.

01:02:09.220 Like, tinctures and stuff.

01:02:10.340 Yeah.

01:02:10.500 I love that.

01:02:11.460 Yeah.

01:02:11.720 Okay, your mom's a smarty pants too.

01:02:13.020 She's amazing.

01:02:13.600 Okay, Miss Chemist.

01:02:14.740 I love that.

01:02:15.600 She's amazing.

01:02:15.920 You come from a talented family.

01:02:17.520 I know.

01:02:17.980 Now you're going to marry into mine.

01:02:23.040 Tufo.

01:02:23.720 Yeah.

01:02:24.780 No.

01:02:25.500 What was it?

01:02:26.700 It's talofa.

01:02:28.280 Talofa.

01:02:28.740 And then tofa.

01:02:29.860 Soifua.

01:02:31.000 Tofa.

01:02:32.400 Soifua.

01:02:33.160 I'll text it to you.

01:02:34.520 So you don't forget.

01:02:34.720 In my language, we have tufiakwa.

01:02:36.660 So that's why I was getting it mixed up.

01:02:38.480 Right.

01:02:38.960 Because tufiakwa is like, God forbid.

01:02:41.000 So we'll go, tufiakwa.

01:02:42.180 Like, if something's happening, if a man, if a broke man trying to text me, hey, tufiakwa.

01:02:46.620 I rebuke, I rebuke, I rebuke.

01:02:49.900 Hey, Jesus.

01:02:50.740 It's not my portion in Jesus' name.

01:02:52.500 It's not my portion.

01:02:55.680 Okay.

01:02:56.280 Last thing.

01:02:57.720 I would love to know if you have any advice for anyone who maybe wants to get into content

01:03:02.680 creation or maybe as an artist and finds themselves feeling like they need to lean towards content

01:03:06.860 creation, do you have any advice for anyone?

01:03:08.800 I would say, I think for us, like, the reason why we have such longevity is because money wasn't

01:03:17.240 the goal.

01:03:18.280 Tea.

01:03:18.920 Period.

01:03:19.560 Which is hard, you know, because it's like you want to make money doing your art.

01:03:24.000 But I saw this video the other day talking about, like, having a plan B.

01:03:27.820 Yeah.

01:03:28.040 And that being a power because then, like, you're not putting all your eggs in one basket.

01:03:33.160 That's tea, yeah.

01:03:34.060 You're not really committing to it fully.

01:03:36.540 Like, you can't be 100% in two places.

01:03:38.980 Yeah.

01:03:39.500 And your art will flourish because you have your source.

01:03:45.840 And then, like, you can creatively, without pressure, create.

01:03:50.240 Create creatively, creator.

01:03:54.440 I fucking love you.

01:03:55.860 You're the best.

01:03:56.460 I love you, Tari.

01:03:57.020 I can't wait to grow old together, honestly.

01:03:59.680 Oh, my God.

01:04:00.580 It's going to be iconic.

01:04:01.960 It really is.

01:04:03.520 I know.

01:04:03.900 That's why I was like, one thing about me, I'm going to ride for Grace.

01:04:06.140 We're going to be alongside each other.

01:04:07.620 I'm going to call you.

01:04:08.220 I'll be like, I got the house next door.

01:04:10.900 Come over.

01:04:11.700 With my cousin, apparently.

01:04:16.500 I fucking love you.

01:04:17.400 360.

01:04:20.040 Thank you so much for coming back.

01:04:21.720 Thank you.

01:04:22.040 I fucking love you.

01:04:22.640 I'm obsessed with you.

01:04:23.100 I love this.

01:04:24.020 I love you.

01:04:24.300 I love you.

01:04:24.800 And everyone else loves you, obviously.

01:04:27.020 But just in case, just in case, they have no idea who you are, which would be insane.

01:04:31.320 But just in case they don't, where can everybody find you?

01:04:34.300 You can find me, Grace underscore Africa on Instagram, TikTok, and on YouTube as well.

01:04:42.460 And hopefully the two of us in Abbott Elementary soon.

01:04:44.820 Yes.

01:04:45.400 Yes.

01:04:45.520 Quinta Brunson, please.

01:04:47.100 They should make us both PE teachers, but we're bad.

01:04:49.380 Oh, my goodness.

01:04:50.180 And we can both, like, have our accents, too.

01:04:53.860 Yes.

01:04:55.080 I'm calling my phone.

01:04:56.340 Look at us.

01:04:57.080 Quinta, we already have it half written.

01:04:58.520 We already...

01:04:59.180 It's like 40% of the way down already.

01:05:01.840 If they let me improv, I'd go crazy.

01:05:03.620 Let's do it.

01:05:04.360 Let's do it.

01:05:04.900 We'll do it.

01:05:05.020 Why is this kid going slow?

01:05:10.920 No, your turn.

01:05:12.520 I don't have...

01:05:13.320 I can't imitate a fob, I don't think.

01:05:17.420 I'll do my best.

01:05:19.200 I'll be like, yeah, what she said.

01:05:20.860 I'll just be an annoying friend.

01:05:23.120 And you know what?

01:05:23.860 They need...

01:05:24.480 They always need that.

01:05:25.860 They need more silly geese.

01:05:27.320 You and I are ready for the job.

01:05:28.620 We are.
