of the comment section show starring me your favorite everybody knows me who cares about me
00:01:28.840
on to the very very special guest it is my honor to introduce the one and only monet exchange
00:01:34.540
i'm so excited i'm so happy that i'm here i am obsessed with you same bitch you're so funny
00:01:43.500
you're gorgeous and you be dragging these hoes i live i love it period honestly i do my best so good
00:01:52.140
it's you know what it's a hard job but someone's got to do it and we're grateful that we have you
00:01:56.080
but honestly as as like a drag superstar reading is in your guys's culture it is dragging roasting
00:02:04.420
all of that yeah it really is is it's it's ingrained into queer culture especially drag and
00:02:09.440
the war room scene and honestly i love it it has given me very thick skin but also my family that's
00:02:14.560
like that's kind of how my family is like we are constantly like making little jokes on each other
00:02:18.740
yeah really close group core friends yeah we like we like read each other all the time too so it
00:02:24.040
just really just prepares you to just like whatever you have to say in the comments girl i've heard it
00:02:28.380
10 times before and doesn't matter people who make more money than you and look better than you so
00:02:34.800
i say that too about when people ask me like oh like how did you start doing this like a lot of times
00:02:42.200
they attribute it to like oh you probably got broken up with or you know whatever i'm like no my mom's
00:02:47.860
just mean like that's really what it is down which is funny and she's my bestie you know what i mean
00:02:53.600
that girl's my twin i feel that like my i have i have an immigrant mob mother who did not take any
00:02:59.060
she's not she does not spare any punches i hear the real rip every time she opens her mouth and so
00:03:03.940
it's like and that's like i feel like lots of minority families have that in common yeah because
00:03:09.020
we all like grow up like roast razzing each other it's like all in good fun like we all make fun of
00:03:13.420
each other and we love on each other at the same time but i always say that like if you're gonna
00:03:18.260
tell a joke you gotta learn to take a joke absolutely that's the art of telling jokes in
00:03:21.940
general one thousand percent i think it makes you funnier yeah and the the thing that always gags
00:03:26.200
me is that when someone is in the comment and they try to roast you and then you clap back at them
00:03:30.420
and be like no i'm just kidding i'm sorry i'm like i'm a big fan i'm like are you you just try to come
00:03:35.060
for me my grandmother my nephew my sister but but now but now you're just you're just playing you're
00:03:39.980
like i'm i'm gonna make sure you're not a fan anymore you know what i mean let's see if you're
00:03:43.360
still a fan after this and i don't always clap back i sometimes i really i let it slide but
00:03:48.620
oftentimes i do find myself clickety clacking and you know getting getting down and dirty the only
00:03:55.400
people i kind of let slide just a tiny bit but not really is just women women in general or other
00:04:01.600
people that i feel like i feel driven to protect yeah mostly because i'm like that's the patriarchy
00:04:06.780
they want me to attack you because they want us to turn against each other yeah and i won't but i
00:04:10.940
also can't save every bitch so you're on your own soldier you know what i mean like that's what i
00:04:15.360
think i'm like you're on your own hoe you sure you cannot save everybody you can't and sometimes
00:04:20.820
the calls coming from inside the house uh-huh you go you go ahead and you answer it i'm gonna be over
00:04:24.640
here but i i men i'll make all the time clear my schedule and you know what it is and again i again i'm
00:04:30.860
such a big fan of yours because you're just so smart and the way that you just dissect and like
00:04:37.020
you you gather them like pony girls you are getting you are pushing that point so you are
00:04:42.020
gathering that ponytail and that oh so smart so good sometimes i think too like because obviously
00:04:48.520
i've watched your stand-up too which is so funny it's just unbelievably funny and i also think there's
00:04:54.540
like an art in like very specific ways of making fun of people because i know you read people in the
00:04:59.980
audience sometimes yeah which is always fun especially if they're good sports yeah good
00:05:03.820
sports it's always fun um if they're not it's even funner yeah you know absolutely which is always
00:05:08.560
have you ever had like someone get kind of mad i have we did a um i did a show in pittsburgh at
00:05:13.640
the pittsburgh improv and there's this there's this one gentleman in the front sometimes when you
00:05:18.520
like you're doing a show the entire room is going up and there's like one person just kind of just
00:05:21.820
like not engaging just like refusing to laugh just refusing to laugh and i was like girl why are you
00:05:27.020
here did you get these tickets on groupon bitch like are you are you just upset that you were at
00:05:32.360
this show and he was like yeah well my girlfriend bought me on i was like you know she should have
00:05:35.420
kept your ass at home but you're not and so i didn't like go in on him because but then he ended
00:05:40.220
up coming it's always nice to win the audience member back over you know what i mean someone who's
00:05:44.720
like who's like not trying to engage and then it just can't help but getting on the fun because
00:05:49.240
you're good at what you do yeah and that always feels even better to me to read them a little bit but
00:05:53.940
enough to make them still want to join to kind of like laugh a little yeah laugh a little i know
00:05:57.480
sometimes when i mean the men that i make fun of are just awful yeah but like sometimes i'm like i
00:06:03.220
know i got you a little you laughed a little come on be honest i called someone recently an adult
00:06:11.100
magician i was you do like magic like sleight of hand on the las vegas boulevard he didn't laugh i said
00:06:18.060
i got you a little just a little come on because we all know that guy we all know that guy girl
00:06:23.280
well i think you should you should do stand-up i you are very funny and i thank you because i'm i'm
00:06:29.220
kind of like you where before i like did stand-up i did drag yeah i was doing like you know six shows
00:06:35.240
a week in new york city oh my god i'm hosting and new york city drag is a little different in other
00:06:39.320
places because in new york um whereas in a lot of places like la and chicago and places it's like
00:06:44.060
one queen is the host and you have like six girls coming up and do a number go away go do
00:06:48.100
a number go away yeah new york it's different it's like one girl it was me on stage for two hours
00:06:53.280
and two hours two hours six nights a week you know what i mean oh my god six shows a week i would do
00:06:58.760
every show um monday through friday um and then two no it's seven shows monday through friday then
00:07:03.480
two shows on saturday okay so more than what you told me but like it was it was me on stage
00:07:09.900
entertaining a room of drunk uh gay dudes uh and you know so it was a bachelorette parties
00:07:16.640
bachelorette parties like it's my birthday shut up rebecca i know it's your birthday this is jesus
00:07:21.880
christ we're 10 minutes into the show girl do some time and then so like i really so i back then i was
00:07:26.880
doing stand-up but i wasn't calling it stand-up so when i was talking to my agent he's like you know
00:07:31.060
you should try your hand at stand-up i was like i don't think i can do something he's like monet i've
00:07:33.960
seen your shows you you are doing something literally stand-up you know what i mean yeah yeah so i just sat
00:07:38.700
and i wrote some jokes and i got a full hour done and i and i uh i did some some dates or in bray in
00:07:45.460
different cities and then i recorded my first special with the tribeca film festival and that's
00:07:49.120
coming out next summer no way congratulations oh my god that's so awesome yeah that's why i've
00:07:55.740
talked about stand-up is literally an art forum yeah so i was like there's like a whole science to like
00:08:01.300
studying it there's like essentially it's choreography or like you're choreographing an entire routine and
00:08:06.720
then you have to memorize the whole thing and that's the part that makes me kind of nervy but
00:08:11.060
i also like i'm i know i'm no proud bitch like i i'm funny but not every funny bitch can be a stand-up
00:08:16.760
comedian which is the problem ask every white dude ever that's on stand-up from the internet like
00:08:22.940
some of them really think like should i like quit my day job like i don't think you should
00:08:29.100
yeah like the dudes who make fun of me like a lot of they just call me a fat ugly bitch
00:08:33.080
and they're like honestly someone get lauren michaels on the phone i think it's time guys
00:08:37.460
it's time put them on snl it's time tell the valvoline i give my two weeks i don't need to be
00:08:42.720
here anymore i don't need to work at autozone anymore i got it you if girl you have like a
00:08:51.560
two-hour special with all your material i'm telling you i'm sure you know what i'll think about it
00:08:56.360
that that's a vote of confidence from a pro yeah for sure there's a thing because like i you know
00:09:01.020
some of my really good friends like bianca del rio and bob they just stand up yeah um and you
00:09:05.740
know so bob and i we have our show similar rivalry our tour when it's us on stage and we have like
00:09:10.580
eight dancers and we have like the lights and we have the whole crew girls stand up it is you
00:09:14.860
a microphone and a stool okay there's no overhead and it's all reward it's just you and and like
00:09:21.540
the satisfaction of getting a room full of people to like laugh at these stupid jokes that you thought
00:09:25.260
of and then yeah it it just feels so good it must be it like that's how i think you know you're truly
00:09:30.820
funny if you could like write a whole set and have everybody in the room laughing yeah i think that
00:09:36.620
like sometimes like i'm assuming you're the funny friend too like you crack jokes everybody's like
00:09:42.220
you're like monet tell me a story sometimes i'll have people be like no drew has the funniest story
00:09:46.960
so sometimes i'll tell stories do you ever have jokes that you like you save for like certain people
00:09:51.780
oh for sure because you're like this is gonna bring the house down yeah this is gonna hit so
00:09:56.620
hard and there are some stories i've learned over time i'm like okay wrong audience wrong audience
00:10:01.280
i'm like there's certain like if i'm in a room of white people i'm like i can't tell that story
00:10:05.200
they won't laugh they will not get it won't get it they will not get it facts 100 literally on this
00:10:11.020
show like a while ago i told like a story about how like my dog almost died once he didn't he died
00:10:17.380
actually twice but he came back to life so we started calling him like john snow like every time he
00:10:21.620
came back he was a different person i think he could see spirits that's besides the point but he
00:10:26.120
he i would told that story once of like the day he first died and my mom brought him back to life
00:10:30.460
i told that to my boyfriend's family who's like they're like white like that side of his family
00:10:35.320
is white and like i told them that story at like the first lunch i ever had with them drew not the
00:10:41.780
first one because well typically that story kills so i'm like you know what i'm gonna tell the dog story
00:10:46.720
right so like i'm telling it you know when you feel the room kind of being like shrink
00:10:51.280
the room yeah they're kind of nobody's laughing and then you're like and then he lived anyways that
00:10:55.900
was it he's alive now don't worry about it it doesn't happen to me i just start adding like
00:11:01.060
things that are not true i was like maybe if i just pump in this detail you start exaggerating you
00:11:05.320
know just just it becomes the most exaggerated version of the story and if i get just at least
00:11:10.240
one laugh or a smirk i'm like well you did something yeah you know what i'm gonna take my wins
00:11:14.420
you know what i mean i'm gonna take that that's on me that when i went home i was like that's on me
00:11:18.220
yeah your mom loves dogs i shouldn't have told a story about dead dogs but i didn't i thought she
00:11:22.780
might laugh i thought we were all so what so what did your boyfriend say he's heard the story so he
00:11:27.980
laughed okay got it he's brown uh-huh and i'm brown so we both kiki laughed uh at the table he left me
00:11:35.020
high and dry oh really i was like okay bitch now you don't think it's funny because when i told this
00:11:39.980
story with my family you were laughing yesterday you was you was ha ha ha and all of a sudden
00:11:45.440
all of a sudden all of a sudden i think too like there are certain jokes that i tell and i i feel
00:11:53.480
like when you get a big laugh you're like yeah oh yes yeah got it very very rewarding and you know
00:11:59.900
and and also i love love love love a good in my stand-up a lot of it is storytelling too yeah i just
00:12:05.680
love telling stories like a story of me like being like um getting i do like a whole bit about
00:12:10.320
the the first time i fisted someone and it's um a very compelling story and the audience really you
00:12:16.880

00:12:24.000

00:16:11.960

these california drivers y'all are on something else everybody's on absinthe everybody's crossfaded
00:16:21.340
girl everyone's doing dabs and do not let a speck of rain fall out the sky all the way people are on
00:16:27.740
the one-on-one driving at two miles an hour i'm like girl it is a little rain it is a little
00:16:32.180
precipitation they can't handle rain or cold weather anything i can't either and i went to college in
00:16:37.500
hawaii so like uh because i hate cold weather well i'll say this i'd rather be hot than cold even
00:16:42.900
though i'm a sweaty bitch which makes no sense okay i am these my system's here is gonna test i am the
00:16:48.620
sweatiest bitch in the game you ain't seen sweat till you see me up in drag girl
00:16:53.440
i have a big thought just i am just sweating okay same i have a theory that if i shave my head
00:17:00.740
bald i would never sweat again but i'm not willing to test it because my head is ginormous
00:17:06.000
but i don't think it would be a look for me but i i grew i grew up here and then i went to college
00:17:12.180
in hawaii so like my fear of like colds just worsened as i like lived out there and then moved
00:17:18.760

lot of research um um but all the dickletage that was available to me you did a lot of research about
00:18:46.700

00:18:51.220
kinesthetic i can't yeah you're like i'm someone who needs to be in the field i need to i need to get
00:18:55.880
in there get my hands dirty hence the fisting story you know i need to really experience like literally
00:19:02.020
like quite literally dirty you're doing a world tour oh girl i have been around the world and i
00:19:09.260

00:19:13.520
lives i've i've lived many lives and worn many hats true i love that i love that for you
00:19:18.500
okay so speaking of but not really speaking of your fisting story which is part of your stand-up
00:19:25.980
today's topic for our show is going to be the art of stand-up right and i feel like obviously we
00:19:31.640
talked a lot about or we touched on it a little bit your journey in comedy because you've been
00:19:35.240
doing you're like have you would you say you've always been a comedy queen yeah i've definitely
00:19:39.060
always been a comedy queen in my drag um and now i'm just adding the layer of like active standard
00:19:43.720
to it over the past year yeah for sure definitely been a comedy queen yeah so i think that you even
00:19:48.820
you too well you've been performing forever and like i i agree with your agent or your manager
00:19:53.720
whoever said that you you already do stand-up yeah that it's like you've been doing it for so long
00:19:58.060
now and i feel like comedy has really shifted right especially in stand-up like over the last
00:20:03.480
like five six years oh for sure yeah let alone decade oh yeah for sure i mean i mean just because
00:20:08.680
of things because we now have these computers in our hands right and and people can record whatever
00:20:13.500
they want and put it online we're seeing more different types of comedy yeah before comedy was um
00:20:18.540
it felt to be very heavily handed one in one uh place yeah but now we're seeing a lot of other types
00:20:25.500
of comedy and comedians blow up and seeing more women and more people of color and i
00:20:30.120
love love love love love it same yeah and i think too like it it's like this constant discourse of
00:20:36.840
they're like oh you're not allowed to say anything these days and i'm like well if you're being racist
00:20:41.460
then yeah you know probably not but there's ways to be i always think like if you have to be bigoted
00:20:46.180
to be funny you're not funny you're not funny like at all if if the crux if that is the crux of
00:20:50.920
humor that's the only thing that you like girl you're not funny yeah like and that's simply that
00:20:55.520
on that yeah like and i think that now that comedy has shifted so drastic drastically but i think it's
00:21:01.580
been a very slow burn now like super old like comic whether they're comedy fans or just comics in
00:21:07.900
general they're like oh like everybody only wants to see like liberal jokes or whatever they talk about
00:21:13.440
i'm like maybe they just don't want to watch you say the n-word on stage when you're a white guy you
00:21:17.320
know what i mean maybe they don't want you to want they don't want to watch you be a transphobe
00:21:20.620
maybe they just don't want to watch that you know what i mean and maybe it's not funny it blows my
00:21:25.340
mind when that's when that's that's all people take out of that is like oh everything is just
00:21:30.040
everyone can't say anything anymore like that's what you extract that's what you extrapolated
00:21:34.280
from that that that little kernel literally well and then i think too like when when you factor in
00:21:42.000
that conversation about it like because my like i'm not a stand-up person by any means but like
00:21:47.460
when i make fun of people it's like silly shit that i say because it's funny like i'll drag the hell out
00:21:52.980
of you without like being bigoted towards you i'm just gonna make you feel really really small by
00:21:57.820
stating facts yeah because it's funny let's all laugh i thought you were having fun yeah because
00:22:01.660
these same dudes will will be like you can't say anything nowadays but then at the same time if you
00:22:05.860
factor in someone like me they're like why would you do that to him why would you make fun of him
00:22:11.020
that's so mean that's not funny thought you wanted to have fun are we not all having a good time
00:22:16.660
you may joke yeah because they always say it was just a joke i'm like so are mine yeah i'm just
00:22:22.580
joking too one of us had much better jokes you don't believe me let's check tape let's check the
00:22:28.520
stats roll that beautiful mean footage baby roll it let's see who else like because i don't know do
00:22:34.000
you have a pretty large female audience or like yeah presenting audience yes anytime you know when you're
00:22:38.460
involved in social media so that we do and influence is that you do you get to like your
00:22:42.140
demographic yeah so i'm like i am about 59 percent women and women yeah oh wow yeah the girls
00:22:50.980
the girls the girls the girls they love us they really do mine's like 96 4 i'm not even kidding like
00:23:00.360
i made a video about that once and someone was like how do i do that because i really hate having
00:23:05.840
straight men on my page i was like oh it's pretty simple really um you just make them
00:23:10.360
hate you nothing moves the needle quite like that i love that when you make your whole branding about
00:23:17.420
hurting their feelings turns out they don't want to follow you very often and if they do they're
00:23:21.560
good men gay men or trans men and that's and that's and that's my cream of the crop you know
00:23:26.380
what i mean that's what we want and they're welcome and valid here okay so we're gonna be talking
00:23:31.220
about the art of stand-up we're gonna talk about you and your comedy journey and also like how hard
00:23:35.920
you've had to work in this industry and other minority people or marginalized people in general
00:23:40.400
who want to be in the comedy space versus men obviously because a lot of times i feel like
00:23:45.940
especially straight cis white dudes feel like they're like the comedy constable i deem this funny or i
00:23:52.900
deem this not funny and they're the like least funny people on the planet yeah why why who made you
00:23:58.120
the arbiter of good comedy and what is funny like who yeah and it's always self-proclaimed and
00:24:04.120
they think that they are have and they they uh assign the golden rule of comedy it's just yeah
00:24:09.180
to me sometimes not sometimes it's always so out of touch and it's just it is nonsensical yeah my
00:24:15.260
friend leo who does comedy too he was saying like if you're a dude who like like really really laughs
00:24:20.960
hard at like jackass i know i'm not gonna make you laugh i can't get to you but i was like yeah if

00:26:10.140
that are new to the comment section what we do is we bring two videos here and we talk about them
00:26:14.560
they're applicable to our topic we kiki laugh make all the jokes all that fun stuff so for this first
00:26:19.420
video that we have uh this is a stand-up clip um it's a comedian sashir zamata tells a story about a
00:26:25.760
weird interaction she had in college where a student living down the hall from her kept asking if she knew
00:26:30.060
certain people they went to school with and sashir realized that all of the people the girl was
00:26:34.560
asking about were black people at their school sashir is obviously a black woman and the girl just
00:26:39.720
assumed that sashir would know them all and i'm like well haven't we all been there girl girl
00:26:47.180
so westminster choir college that i went to yeah it was a very small um sect of this university so
00:26:54.260
okay so we're not on the university campus we're like we're about 30 minutes away and um
00:26:59.720
our the whole school the whole university i mean um college was about 700 students so that's between
00:27:05.840
undergrad and graduate students super tiny yeah very small so i'm not kidding you i they were
00:27:12.280
maybe i think between all the undergrad classes they were probably 16 black kids out of total a total
00:27:21.180
oh my god and i mean and people on campus would always assume that we always knew each other they
00:27:25.640
were like oh so um uh how's how's squiggy doing i'm like who the hell is squiggy like squiggy i'm like
00:27:32.720
who is that girl i don't know who that is you know what i mean so they would always assume that
00:27:36.060
we just always that that i knew squiggy went to go see his girl it was crazy they just assumed that
00:27:40.300
i knew every part of everyone's life who was who was a person of color because we were all black
00:27:43.560
yeah yeah when i went i went to the university of hawaii so like i'm samuan so i assumed when i go to
00:27:49.680
hawaii and i go to uh i'm like okay i'm gonna find my people we're gonna kiki rally have a good time
00:27:55.480
which i've never seen more white people in my life when i went to that when i went to that
00:27:59.360
orientation you would have thought i was on honeyton beach pier babe yeah i was in laguna
00:28:04.300
niguel really i was standing i'm like i was sitting i was like the yeah like they i swear to god
00:28:10.480
they're all like beach town kids from like rich cities here in california got you or and then they
00:28:15.360
go there for it because they're like oh it'll be the same and i'll be in hawaii and i i was blown away
00:28:20.420
but sometimes they would do the same thing with me like they're like oh are you on the volleyball team
00:28:25.360
and i'm like no girl i'm sitting next to you there's a game right now no i'm not on the
00:28:31.540
volleyball team bitch that's what i was like look at i mean no they're like oh i guess i just assumed
00:28:36.940
why i love to ask people why yeah see i need to ask why more i should ask why more you should i should
00:28:43.140
ask why just to make it so not you want to make it uncomfortable for me now it's your turn to be
00:28:46.880
uncomfortable why why what would make you want to ask me that oh i went to a party in college once and
00:28:52.980
me there was me and there was another one of my friends who happens to be black and he we it's
00:28:57.860
just the two of us minority people there everybody else was white so we're sitting there and we're
00:29:02.260
having a good time talking and this guy comes over and he's trying to make conversation and he's like
00:29:07.200
yeah he's like um hey so do you unprovoked we're not we we said intros that's it no talking sitting
00:29:14.800
there the guy goes so do you listen to a lot of hip-hop to my friend and then my friend goes
00:29:20.000
no not really and then he goes no you don't listen to drake drake is always the first one
00:29:25.860
you don't listen to drake and then he goes i'm not really a big fan he goes what what you got to
00:29:32.180
listen to him do you listen to he starts listing all these everyone uh tupac jay-z
00:29:37.280
can i have uh nikki minaj for 100 i don't know he's just like throwing out names and then i
00:29:46.180
couldn't take it anymore my friend is too nice to say anything so i was like why do you keep asking
00:29:49.680
him that why do you keep asking him only about stuff like that and he was like what do you mean
00:29:53.780
i'm like are you are you asking him because he's black and then he was like what what the way he got
00:30:00.580
that was so offended oh no what and he goes i'm from ohio okay congratulations he goes do you know
00:30:07.500
how many he goes i could literally count to you like on my hand how many black people i've met in
00:30:12.740
my life oh not that line and then i go he goes do you know how many that is i go i'm guessing not many
00:30:17.560
considering you're keeping count like also one two three easily eight easily eight i'm like i'm guessing
00:30:25.480
not very many i cannot also if you have lived your entire life and you have only and you only
00:30:33.280
know what eight black people and you're in college that is a problem and he wasn't even in college he
00:30:38.700
was a marine this man was so you don't even go here like who invited you to this get out go serve
00:30:46.340
go serve go serve this country oh my god don't you have a war to go dying you lived your entire
00:30:53.340
life and you can you can count on your on your two hands that is not impressive i that's what i was
00:30:58.420
like i i think that you think that's a good thing that you're keeping count and it's not it's weird
00:31:03.920
it's weird very weird it's like that's weirdo behavior but honestly so let's look at some of the
00:31:10.200
comments on this video about uh sashira's stand-up so this first one says if poc didn't have dark skin
00:31:16.500
they could never do comedy their entire routine always focuses entirely on that it's a yawn fest
00:31:23.060
yikers that comment is so bad whoa whoa whoa wait can you read it one more time if poc didn't have
00:31:30.520
dark skin they could never do comedy their entire routine always focuses entirely on that it's a yawn
00:31:36.740
fest that is always where those type of people that's where they go immediately like oh well you
00:31:42.720
only do well you only do jokes about race i'm like no i literally done a whole set with with
00:31:47.200
with the with varying things but in the options that that is what my comedy is that is the base
00:31:52.640
of my comedy so what that is because people of color have a very different experience to white
00:31:58.120
people in this country yeah so you have to find the humor and the aid to to sometimes live with it
00:32:03.100
to cope with it yeah and you use it as a way to to and it's also healing sometimes as well you know
00:32:08.320
right yeah so the fact that when they always jump to that well you only make jokes so what if i do
00:32:12.700
and what so yeah and one of it also comedy pulls from life experience life experience that's your life
00:32:17.580
experience yeah what's the difference between that and like white male comedians that are like in
00:32:22.400
their 50s talking about hating their wife that's their culture it's that and target and auto zone
00:32:30.260
that's why i'm saying home diva lows i don't know you know what i mean yeah like that's you what's the
00:32:37.260
difference that's your culture right yeah that's all the culture they have yeah it's just that it's
00:32:41.700
always i think well will you only joke about that yeah because i that that experience in in this
00:32:46.500
country and in my life has shaped me a lot into who you are y'all believe it or not that's why i'm
00:32:51.120
so funny you know what i mean you know well it's also like especially in this like the context of
00:32:57.460
the jokes that she's telling where she just automatically assumes like that um one black person knows every
00:33:02.960
black person to exist in the world that is funny it is very it's funny to think that someone would
00:33:07.780
ever believe that because it's absurd yeah that's what's funny about it like one time i went to my
00:33:13.660
boyfriend and i were at a bar and we're it's like in the daytime we're just having like drinks whatever
00:33:18.500
uh this guy comes over and he's like hey like wants to make conversation with us big white dude
00:33:23.500
and um they love my boyfriend i don't know what it is like i don't know if your boyfriend is very
00:33:29.320
beautiful thank you he has pheromones in his skin or something the way that older white gentlemen
00:33:34.400
specifically are like every time they see him because he's so hot yeah and like they don't and
00:33:39.360
because it's because it's gonna be good it's gonna be they they can't identify it as that yeah
00:33:43.960
because your boyfriend is so beautiful they're just drawn to him but they don't want to name what it is
00:33:47.560
yeah because he's a very handsome man he's very attractive it's one of those things where the line is so
00:33:52.140
thin like their obsession with nfl players or like basketball players it's like they can't tell if they
00:33:57.240
want to be him or be on him you know what i mean yeah they can't tell if they want to be my boyfriend
00:34:00.800
or me you know what i mean they struggle with it internally yeah but he came up to us and he was
00:34:07.760
like trying to joke around whatever and they always say my you know who you look like you look like
00:34:11.940
aquaman which is like when that movie came out hell on earth oh god i'm sure the way that i was like
00:34:17.600
i don't want to leave the house when i when this started happening my boyfriend was like thank god
00:34:21.420
because everyone's gonna look at you and no one's gonna look at me thank god like because he hates being
00:34:25.260
the center of attention so he's talking to us whatever and he's like so where are you guys from
00:34:29.540
and we're like here because we were in anaheim we're at disneyland so i was like oh we're from
00:34:33.880

00:34:39.420
so then when they do shit like that i clock in i've cleared my clear i've cleared my schedule i'm not
00:34:46.480
giving you the answer that you want we're gonna be here all night bitch they're gonna be putting the
00:34:50.660
stools on the bar by the time we're done because then he's like no like where are you from i'm like
00:34:55.620
california no like where are you from southern california no like where are you from over and
00:35:00.360
over and over again then he was like well no your ancestors bitch why don't you ask your ancestors
00:35:06.500
ask them oh my god they know where i'm at hello they know they know what's up so i need you go go in
00:35:17.160

00:35:54.620

muscle in the audience i think men like that just take any opportunity to say women aren't funny
00:40:05.340
yeah any at all well you know and i think there is there is for some reason there is a lot men like
00:40:11.720

00:40:18.560
when they were saying like a lot of women on first dates they won't um not won't be funny but they
00:40:24.400
won't like try to crack jokes because that that threatens a lot of men like when like when they see a
00:40:28.280

00:41:17.860

00:41:21.260

00:41:48.660
for you with the assist there you go just working together you know i love that okay let's get into
00:41:54.800
this next video so this next one is another another stand-up clip um of a comedian kate berlant i love
00:42:03.680
her performing in front of a crowd and joking about how she believes 100 that women should be allowed
00:42:09.180
to shoplift makeup and cosmetics i i feel that agree pink tax girl i um i was i saw tiktok i was
00:42:18.420
talking about how they they at these and i've never noticed it because i guess i'm just not
00:42:22.840
cognizant of it yeah but how they make big pens for women i'm like what is a pen for a woman and
00:42:29.460
it was japan was just pink instead of the like with like a pink cap instead of a blue cap and i was
00:42:34.680
like what like why are you we make it which is a little out topic sorry i didn't mean to go but i'm
00:42:38.520
like like pens for women like what like that means like and when you see a product like that that means
00:42:44.200
it hundreds like oh not hundreds maybe like 50 people had to approve this product honestly
00:42:51.380
probably hundreds hundreds to sell big pens for women like it's so crazy and back to this women
00:42:57.220
should absolutely because again it's probably a big group of men that's making all these products
00:43:01.220
and deciding all of them i'm like you know what for everything that we have put women through
00:43:04.260
in this country slash are currently putting women through in this country take all the makeup for
00:43:08.840
free that's what i'm saying take all i think monthly at every what whether it be hermes the
00:43:13.780
cvs walgreens whatever it is women should be able to go and get at least uh at least five hundred
00:43:19.300
dollars worth of worth of product for free and i'm not gonna snitch i i i simply do not see yeah when
00:43:24.860
you do it i'm gonna look the other way but it's like my friend alia who was on my show recently
00:43:29.980
she was saying that uh one of her most viral videos she ever made was she was like women don't have
00:43:35.020
flaws they just have quirks men have red flags but women don't red flags and a lot of dudes out
00:43:40.740
here hello they are quirks we love we love we love a quirky girl what's your son i'm a pisces i love
00:43:47.700
okay controversial i love pisces men yeah because my dad's a pisces yeah and and but the girls don't
00:43:55.540
like pisces men why is that they well okay so i they're a water sign i know that but i i feel like
00:44:01.960
pisces in general are very emotionally cognizant when you give that power to a too sentient man
00:44:08.740
he uses it for bad for evil he utilizes it against you manipulates you emotionally i think that's why
00:44:16.320
like one time i i started like a war on capricorns because i was like what's the worst sign that you
00:44:22.380
know of and why is it capricorn and so a lot of people were saying pisces men and cancer men really
00:44:28.740
are like god's sinful soldiers oh no like truly they're out here but but maybe straight dudes
00:44:35.800
yeah straight men gay pisces we're everything that's different yeah it's like it's like it has
00:44:40.760
an asterisk next to it but if he gay he cool like my dad my dad is a pisces and he's like he's really
00:44:48.900
really wonderful and amazing so that's why i was like pisces man that's interesting to me yeah well
00:44:53.900
i'm also a cuss i'm like right because i'm i'm uh february 19th i'm right on the end of aquarius
00:44:58.740
beginning of pisces okay that helps you yeah that helps you i've talked i even talked when trixie was
00:45:04.660
on i like told her because she's a virgo so like me i'm a virgo so i was saying well virgo men
00:45:09.640
are awful they came straight from that sewer bitch pennywise he's a virgo pennywise was a virgo
00:45:15.700
i don't know he probably was i'm characterizing him based off the fact that he eats children and
00:45:20.380
he's awful but i was literally thinking with virgo men i described it once as like they're like the
00:45:26.080
dude the adult man that gets in line for the pinata you know what i mean that guy that guy's a virgo
00:45:32.080
like the guy that like throws all the board game pieces at the wall when he loses that guy's a virgo
00:45:38.480
he's a virgo man i just i just feel it in my bones it's science who says astrology isn't real
00:45:44.600
it's a proven fact well you know people say that and i'm like if the moon is powerful enough
00:45:51.660
to control the waves and the oceans on the earth like the stuff of the there has to be some
00:45:58.820
correlation with us that's what i'm saying that's what i'm saying has to be i just talked about that
00:46:03.340
too on my last episode i we literally talked about how like it's just because it's loved primarily by
00:46:07.940
women that's why they demonize astrology they're like but it's true and i if you read a straight
00:46:14.540
mana chart watch them be gooped and gagged scalped hello the way i wig the out of them
00:46:21.200
they just quiet as hell like you know that's not true i don't like that yeah because it's right
00:46:28.060
because it's right or they genuinely are like huh they like think a little bit about it and then i
00:46:33.680
explain it further and then they're like oh my god that is me and on the off chance it isn't real
00:46:40.580
who cares who cares let's all have a good time it's fun it's fun listen we are this planet is
00:46:45.100
literally about to fall apart that's what i'm saying let's just enjoy what we have we got bigger
00:46:49.900
problems honestly than to worry about the astrology girls you know okay the comments on this video so
00:46:56.280
this first one says i feel like i could do stand-up comedy better than that so do it that's what i
00:47:02.520
always say and i'm like do you and also we'll say this stuff i mean you should research you're talking
00:47:06.580
about kate perlant is such a celebrated comedian her one-on-one shows like she like literally like
00:47:12.440
what you you think you can do comedy better than kate we're like who are you i always say get out
00:47:19.200
there then then do it do it show us i mean let's see you have a you have a tiktok start doing
00:47:24.520
start doing your comedy let's see how many views you get the way it would humble these dudes so
00:47:29.900
severely yeah to do to tell it is not easy they genuinely think like what it is you do in your stand-up
00:47:35.860
like special for example they think they could do the same exact thing oh my god let me see it let
00:47:41.220
me see you know i'm gonna let me call mr tribeca hey we have um users 49272 underscore five yeah
00:47:49.000
can you book him to do to do a special yeah he has an hour okay yeah your book get jim carrey on the
00:47:55.160
phone yeah let's do it let's do it it's so easy i sometimes when they say they're like i could very
00:48:00.860
easily do this so what's stopping you don't let being ugly stop you you still do other things in
00:48:06.000
life don't you you know what i mean oh i can do that too girl i know it's the same thing as like
00:48:12.720
when they see female athletes and they're like i could do that i said that once in a video like
00:48:17.620
one of my first my actual first video to ever go viral i talked about like weirdly specific red flags
00:48:22.260
and men and one of them i said like if they watch like female athletes on the tv and they're like i
00:48:28.260
could do that cut it off bit done run in the other direction i would agree with that and also no you
00:48:33.560
can't you know how i know because you're sitting next to me on the couch bitch we're both couch
00:48:38.380
coaches at that point yeah they say that only about female athletes like did you ever see that video
00:48:43.100
i think it was serena williams where she played like six men at once like all men who were like
00:48:48.980
wait so she's on one side of yeah she had she played them yeah she played them each one at a
00:48:54.460
time and then she put all of them on the same side and then she was playing all six of them
00:48:59.080
and it was hilarious because these men are like as far as i know i don't think that they were like
00:49:04.700
talking shit outwardly that would be funny if they were yeah but i think she uh they were just like
00:49:09.720
yeah i think i could keep up like i'm a pretty athletic guy which is the same shit in my opinion like
00:49:13.960
it's the same dude yeah and then the way that she was like only having fun not one drop of sweat
00:49:19.700
she's just like laughing just absolutely working them out like they were sweaty exhausted red i i
00:49:28.260
they're red i love the red all over man metaphorically and physically oh my god i love that one i'm gonna
00:49:35.220
look this up as soon as we leave i love yeah please do i i loved it i was like what a genius like idea
00:49:39.980
to do like yeah get their biggest haters and have them do the same thing oh i love it i would love
00:49:45.480
that i love that i love that you know because i on drag race you know you do the thing and you start
00:49:50.440
posting yourself and you get there's all there's always someone who has some negative shit to say or
00:49:54.840
or i i could have done that challenge i'm like then do it girl they sell this fabric at joanne's
00:49:59.680

00:50:06.180
we get picked it's so easy you can do it let's see it i'll see you at hamburger mares to try out
00:50:11.900
your very first bit you know what i mean people like that are the worst terrible the worst kind of
00:50:18.120
warriors uh this next comment says women shouldn't be allowed to do stand-up none of them are funny
00:50:23.980
maybe sarah silverman that's kind of funny the end of that comment maybe her i don't know i don't know
00:50:29.480
though women shouldn't be allowed to do stand-up none of them are funny like that's why i said what's
00:50:34.680
your like degree of funny like what do you what do you think is funny yeah and also it also kills
00:50:41.520
me when they take like a bit into something that like literally like like everyone agrees
00:50:46.680
like universally that it's funny like well that wasn't funny i'm like okay well i guess we can't
00:50:51.160
please you in that one joke but i mean the majority survey says like everyone majority people like the
00:50:55.900
joke let's ask the audience who they thought and everyone is laughing you're trying to pick one
00:51:00.080
obscure part of the about of a joke and then they try to do like the math the math to say oh it's
00:51:05.460
not funny because of this i'm like girl stop the joke exhausting being you yeah just going out and
00:51:11.340
looking for things to complain about to find something i can't relate you know to to invalidate
00:51:15.640
the joke or why it's not funny you're like i'm booked and busy i don't have time for that so
00:51:19.880
can't relate but good luck with that i think it's like yeah i i one of my friends who does comedy
00:51:26.280
too had told me once like when people tell me that i'm like well then it's not for you yeah like
00:51:30.700
my comedy is not for everyone yeah but like i i think that too when when dudes tell me all the time
00:51:36.400
they don't think i'm funny and i'm like well that's because you're terrible so my jokes are at your
00:51:40.020
expense so yeah i wouldn't find it very funny yeah and you're looking at these things and be like
00:51:44.200
damn this is this is this is me it's all scans uh it's not fun i don't like it sure and i'll tell
00:51:51.200
like really cheap jokes sometimes like like a deez nuts joke you know what i mean those hit
00:51:56.040
but they they really hate those when you use them against them especially they don't see it coming
00:52:01.100
yeah like i made a video about defending tess holiday once love tess i love tess love tess she's
00:52:07.800
the best and so i defended her and my video did really well but the guy that i attacked like oh man
00:52:13.480
oh babe he went off the rails someone check on him like he is not doing well and it's been a year
00:52:19.420
and it's been a year and he's still upset about it so with him like he made a follow-up well he
00:52:29.020
made like 15 videos about me and then i made one more addressing all his comments because as soon
00:52:34.740
as i step in moral police they're like they all of a sudden look at them they're in a white sheet
00:52:39.920
glasses they're gandhi listen i think that's why this is why i think this isn't healthy bitch you just
00:52:45.620
called someone a fat cow and you're all of a sudden you're like guys peace and love peace and love
00:52:51.820
all of a sudden and i i like address every one of his points and at the end i was like you said
00:52:56.540
you're all about spreading love which is a lie but you know what you can spread these nuts and someone
00:53:01.760
comments on my video they're like i don't care what you say uh if you think that last part didn't
00:53:06.020
make you laugh you're a liar you're a liar it was a dude it was a dude that didn't like me
00:53:09.220
didn't follow me and i'm like that's real he's real for that for being honest i also love it
00:53:14.600
because because your nails are always popping you always and the way just they just they just
00:53:19.080
accent everything that you're doing the video and i'd be sitting on my phone like yes
00:53:23.080
i know that they're very much so part of my personality it's great i know i hate when people
00:53:33.420
ask me like oh like how do you how do you even dudes try to make this joke too which is like
00:53:38.020
tell me again women aren't funny but they're like how do you wipe your ass yeah how does she even
00:53:42.080
wipe when people tell me that in person they ask me like that that head ass question in person
00:53:46.520
i literally go i don't wipe wipe what you wipe your butt and they the way they go oh my god like
00:53:56.060
they think i'm walking around with shit in my ass all the time maybe don't ask me questions like
00:53:59.160
that then and i'll commit that's a bit i'll take to the grave they're gonna be like she told me she
00:54:05.300
doesn't wipe her ass i'm like yeah you know i did say that i used to reclux but i haven't in a
00:54:09.120
while but i'm when i start again i'm gonna i'm gonna say i'm like i actually don't people ask me
00:54:12.240
that too i'm like yeah i don't that's a good one i'm just like that's good that guy just immediately
00:54:16.540
go wipe wipe what what are you talking about the way you act like like i'm literally like a 13th
00:54:22.000
century like colonial woman i've never heard of toilet paper what is that commit to the bit
00:54:28.800
love it i love it i love it okay this last uh comment on here it says perhaps she should steal
00:54:35.820
some jokes because this wasn't funny perhaps is a it's a crazy way to start a hate comment
00:54:42.120
perhaps perhaps no perhaps and what is does he have a profile picture he does oh oh well at least
00:54:55.240
well you know what he he tried to start constructively he did so maybe that's where
00:54:59.700
he got the guts also to have a profile picture but it just ended in some she's yeah men like that
00:55:04.160
who start comments or like try to sound really really smart when they're either trying to read you
00:55:09.100
or like prove you wrong in some way oh it makes my ass itch the way i immediately turn into a caveman
00:55:17.140
me no thoughts like i just i just start being the most uneducated person to them because i just
00:55:22.020
i refuse i will not engage in that with you yeah i agree i don't need to like prove to you i'm smart
00:55:27.440
yeah you can suck my ass as far as i'm concerned like i just say i'm not wiping yeah with my long
00:55:32.640
nails that one that one remember when you asked me that question yeah that one that's for you i i like
00:55:36.660
i'll sometimes they'll write me like a dissertation of comments you know the number of like one yes yeah
00:55:42.560
yeah oh my god the way you guys don't have a job but then when they do that i'll literally but i'm
00:55:47.260
you're you're absolutely out of your mind if you think i'm reading all that you can eat my ass
00:55:51.380
that's all right my favorite thing when someone writes you like a long comment to just just comment
00:55:57.580
like a three-word thing back i love to do that shit all the time and i love it because they really
00:56:02.880
get so angry that you did not give them the time and day literally they have no idea what to do
00:56:07.720
oh i love it like like they write you a whole dissertation you go you can eat shit yeah yeah yeah
00:56:12.580
go ahead and go outside pick up a big pile of white dog shit and eat it the white the albino dog
00:56:18.380
shit old dog shit man go ahead and eat that and then you can choke yeah i i love a long comment i'll
00:56:24.680
just comment like off and then you're like the way and then they get back to writing they get back to
00:56:30.400
writing literally right they're right back to writing you like it's so satisfying i love it same i like
00:56:35.520
i'm in moments like that i just there's no point like they'll be like oh she can't write anything
00:56:41.460
back or say anything back to me because she's not she doesn't want to smoke or whatever i'm like
00:56:45.580
yeah you're just like worthless to me yeah there's no point there's really no point there's no payoff
00:56:50.760
for me in that yeah and i've had men be like why don't you invite me on your show so i can debate you
00:56:56.200
i'm all you think this is high school you think this debate class bitch no you think this is grow
00:57:02.800
your platform and you get and then you can talk to whoever you want to put on my time on my show
00:57:08.160
and do that off no so i was like uh no and then they go why because i don't want to yeah and it's
00:57:13.940
really that simple that simple that's it it's really that simple because i don't want i've had
00:57:17.160
people offered like they offered me money really to come on my show babe yeah and uh it wasn't a
00:57:23.140
lot of money so i'm like i'm sure you're gonna need to add a few more zeros to the end of that
00:57:27.640
before i even entertain that yeah no no no no no no no it's it's like such a desperate i feel
00:57:34.440
like a lot of times especially like i'm sure too with your platform as well like if you get hate
00:57:38.660
it's like a lot of times it's just for attention like they just want to they want attention but
00:57:43.440
they also are like really hoping that they like ruffle your feathers in some way they're like oh
00:57:47.880
this is gonna get her this is gonna bother them so much yeah these are all the time and or or that
00:57:53.260
thing like they they say something so hateful so nasty yeah and then you comment back they're like
00:57:57.580
oh no just kidding i love you i love you i love you like you know you don't and i don't want that kind
00:58:01.700
of love yeah i was like again go to better help slash rivalry because you need to talk to someone
00:58:06.020
if that's how you show love is like this crazy ass comment work on it yeah you need to work on that
00:58:11.280
that's not good for you do something yeah no i don't i i think too like for me i don't like
00:58:17.220
obviously i don't drag women and i've said that before i'm like i don't drag women the same way i
00:58:21.440
drag men um which like lucky y'all but like i was like i just i have no interest in doing that i'm
00:58:27.140
focusing on the men and the men only and i think sometimes they take advantage of that
00:58:30.980
because they know that i do that yeah because this pick me season right now you know pick me
00:58:34.740
girls no oh a pick me girl oh let's get into it a pick me girl tell me essentially a woman who lives
00:58:41.460
for the male validation so she like everything she does is to be validated by a man even if it means
00:58:47.420
like selling herself down the river kind of thing so she like shits on other women she like it's just
00:58:53.540
she's essentially a misogynist a lot of internalized misogyny just like it's not the same but it's like in
00:58:59.080
the same neighborhood as like internalized racism like people are racist towards their own people
00:59:02.840
yeah it's like the calls coming from inside the house kind of thing so they call them pick me girls
00:59:07.240
because pick me girls pick me got it they're like pick me i'm like pick me skit me bitch like i've
00:59:13.600
talked about multiple times i'm like i if a man never talked to me again it would be too soon
00:59:17.480
it really would because like um people like me for example like as like a cis straight woman like
00:59:24.360
i don't give a shit about male attention or validation yeah which is why it doesn't bother
00:59:29.040
me when men call me a fat bitch every single day because it doesn't mean anything to me yeah
00:59:33.720
so like it's like trying to free women from like the desire to like you know because some men like
00:59:40.680
genuinely even though they're they say they're not attracted to you if you don't care about them
00:59:45.480
they're offended oh for sure because they still crave that they want that attention from you yeah
00:59:50.800
even though they say you're ugly i don't like this you're fat you're whatever they still they still
00:59:55.140
want that yeah and it's it's it's very like it's such a strange like line of thinking i don't understand
01:00:02.140
it at all but like the pick me girls it's like pick me season for me right now i don't know what it
01:00:07.260
is but i have so many women like making videos trying to ride my dick for views essentially yeah and i'm
01:00:14.040
like how's this challenge try to go viral without putting my name in the title how about that bitch
01:00:18.900
like okay have you ever had the thing where it's one of these dudes that you dragged and their like
01:00:24.260
girlfriend or like sister or someone tries to come at you yeah actually only once okay um it was on
01:00:31.340
twitter and i had posted a picture of me like just to be honest looking fantastic i looked great
01:00:38.880
my hair and makeup artist he really did the damn thing but like some some men because their pp wiggled
01:00:45.280
when they saw it were like this is photoshop so then i posted it then i posted a video and i'm like
01:00:50.900
photoshop where bitch tell your girl i'm looking for her anyways so then uh this guy like retweeted or
01:00:57.680
he he tweeted me my own picture like i posted a picture of myself on my snap he tweeted me my own
01:01:04.420
picture and was like this you like one of those and i go yeah any other questions like is that it
01:01:12.400
like and i was like i feel like you guys don't get that this the this you thing is like it's supposed
01:01:17.380
to be a picture where you're unsuspecting yeah someone else took it of you it's like an unflattering
01:01:22.000
picture i looked really cute in the pic so i'm like i don't get the point sometimes i genuinely think
01:01:28.280
that some straight dudes yeah are stupid like there's just no other way i'm like do you not
01:01:35.880
did you not get the again to the point it doesn't even make sense to even argue with that person
01:01:41.880
no not at all you do not possess the the intellectual intelligence that it takes even this
01:01:48.820
not it's not even fun for me anymore because now you're so stupid i just look like i just i'm wasting
01:01:53.740
my time i was like you host can't keep up you can't keep up simply is what it is i can't and
01:01:58.060
that guy like did that and i was like yeah that is me do you have any other questions for me before
01:02:04.500
i leave or and then he was like he had no pictures of himself at least i thought so so then i went and
01:02:11.120
looked and i found a picture of him bitch when i tell you when i tell you that this man for sure
01:02:18.480
worked at a food for less like there's just no way there's no way he didn't like balding as all hell
01:02:24.100
like like truly the most unattractive person i've ever seen in my life and i found the picture and
01:02:30.680
i tweeted it to him and i said there's no way you want to talk about this there's no way bitch and
01:02:38.280
then his girl like got in the mix like but i didn't know that they were together like because she was
01:02:43.640
just like she started attacking me and calling me like fan ugly and i said you know pygmy isms aren't
01:02:49.620
cute yeah and then uh someone else like my followers are like sleuths the way that they're
01:02:54.780
like cia agents they go and find all this information she goes girl that's literally his
01:03:00.040
girlfriend i found like pictures of them together and then she was like uh she was still sticking to
01:03:05.960
her shit about calling me fan ugly and then i said um you're right i'm so fat and ugly that your man
01:03:11.500
spends his free time looking at me take it up with him bitch like he's the fact yeah he has pictures
01:03:17.040
of me safe to his phone and you want to get mad at me come and come at me babe these these like deep
01:03:23.700
dive tiktoks when people do that they were like oh i see you said it's common and they
01:03:28.240
the sleuthing skills they find out where you work where you live truly what's your what what your
01:03:34.600
blood type is it's like it's like it's really remarkable how people are so good at the internet
01:03:39.360
yeah like one time i this guy wrote this like awful awful rancid racist thing about me on instagram
01:03:44.940
and tagged me in it so naturally i reposted it and then i made fun of what he looked like
01:03:49.640
and someone messaged me and was like girl this guy's in a bad mood because he broke up with his
01:03:56.100
girlfriend like a year ago she has no idea who this is she just went and looked and found all
01:04:00.500
this information she's like he was he she was with this he was with this girl now she's with a new gym
01:04:05.740
guy who looks even better than he does and today's her birthday that's literally why he's in a bad
01:04:09.740
girl girl i screenshot it and put it in my story and i was like damn honestly we need to hire
01:04:18.240
these gen z tiktokers for the cia the cia should be plucking gen zers to go into service for them
01:04:25.880
the way that no the way that you need them like we need them they should be like undercover cops honestly
01:04:32.480
i mean 12 but like they're like like under just like cia operatives the way that they work for sure
01:04:41.100
i don't know how they find shit like that it's very good the shit they send me i'm like oh my gosh
01:04:46.340
that's crazy how did you find that and they're like oh i just went looking well they've been using
01:04:51.080
technology since there were like two no literally you know what i mean they've had my my i have a
01:04:56.520
little a little nephew and he's like five when i tell you he is like wade from kim possible just on
01:05:02.580
his ipad just i'm like eyes look in both directions girl i'm like how it's so impressive i i know the way
01:05:09.980
it's advanced what was your first social media my first social media oh my god it was um it was in
01:05:16.220
high school it was sconex you remember sconex you know you probably you're way younger than me i'm 27
01:05:21.540
i'm 32 okay sconex yeah sconex was like it was like before facebook oh okay and it was why it was
01:05:29.520
it was our the interface was like orange and orange and black and white um similar to adam for adam which
01:05:35.080
was um uh a little gay networking site i know about that i've heard about that they were around the same
01:05:41.820
time okay it was only all around for like two years yeah and like it was in i would go on it in um
01:05:47.360
on the in the in the in the computer lab yeah but then like a week after sconex got popping they put
01:05:53.680
that thing where you they would block certain certain on the block list and then but i had some like
01:05:59.360
mainframe kid in in in in in chemistry class and he like hacked the system so everybody would try to
01:06:05.140
get jerome to come to to come to our sixth period computer class so he could put it to hack in the
01:06:10.400
mainframe so we could all go on sconex it was a girl it was crazy but sconex was my first one what was
01:06:14.240
yours myspace myspace yeah for sure myspace i think i was like well first off i wasn't like
01:06:20.900
my mom was like very good about keeping us off the internet as long as she could and then when we
01:06:25.060
got to a certain point she's like i'm gonna monitor it uh-huh so like be careful and we're like okay
01:06:29.780
sounds good when i first got it i was like oh but the way that myspace you would like code
01:06:35.260
yeah you like you worked like you're a facebook engineer like i'm in there like my sister was like
01:06:41.080
a master at coding like she could literally teach me how to change the background and like
01:06:45.620
move so creative do you know myspace is still around yes i do i wish i could look at my old
01:06:52.480
myspace i would like to too i did have a myspace but again with the coding thing i was not good at it
01:06:56.400
and i didn't have any friends that were good at it either because we're all musicians we were not
01:06:59.900
smart at all so none of us could do it so i was like girl i i can't and then i got into facebook
01:07:05.660
but yeah myspace yeah yeah it was really you had to know your shit to like have a good myspace that's
01:07:10.300
what i'm saying my sister was really good at it i think that's the only reason i was good at it
01:07:14.060
honestly and then i think when myspace kind of fell off was obviously when facebook became a thing
01:07:19.200
i got my instagram hella late though i think well like for the time i think i didn't get it till like
01:07:23.420
2009 which it felt late yeah i don't remember when i got mine but it was bad it was back and in
01:07:28.940
the instagram when everybody was like it was like 32 hashtags every post and everyone was always
01:07:33.900
posting food it was like food shots or like sepia black and white pictures or like legs at
01:07:38.720
the beach legs at the beach hot dogs or legs do you remember that no what's that one oh my god
01:07:43.920

01:07:47.440
they were like hot dogs or legs you don't remember that does anyone remember hot dogs or legs

yeah they literally people would take pictures of of like hot dogs like just the ends of them like
01:07:58.800
