I told her that she should lay down like slanted.
00:00:02.220
Like if you lay like this, it's a little more obvious.
00:00:12.500
The gold standard of online casinos has arrived.
00:00:22.940
Whether you're a seasoned player or just starting,
00:00:51.800
Why settle for less when you can go for the gold
00:02:49.660
In Hawaii, there's a town called Kalihi, right?
00:03:08.000
that is when you know a New Yorker is calling out.
00:04:02.140
I told her that she should lay down like slanted.
00:04:11.960
it's going to look like I'm naked under this thing.
00:04:51.600
I only want to shop in the male costume section.
00:06:48.840
Throw in like a very complicated word in there.
00:06:50.920
I like feel like I don't know how to talk right now.
00:07:11.060
I was just saying he had the most like crazy eating habits
00:07:21.940
I'm like, why were you eating 10,000 calories a day?
00:08:01.400
Well, I grew up in a strict Dominican Christian household
00:08:32.720
and my mom would actually let us hand out some candy to kids,
00:08:37.580
but I would write notes on the windows to make kids sad.
00:08:43.260
of the fact that I couldn't dress up for Halloween,
00:09:05.280
I memorized my birth chart specifically for this episode
00:09:07.960
because I just knew astrology was going to come into play,
00:09:10.840
and I'm a Leo, so I have to make it about myself.
00:09:14.300
I'm a Leo moon, a Leo sun, and a Scorpio rising.
00:09:36.580
It's not really hard to guess what you're thinking.
00:09:50.220
But see, that's why I said Halloween's where you shine.
00:10:01.860
I told my husband, Andrew, to take me trick-or-treating.
00:10:21.640
And going off of what you said, that I'm impulsive,
00:10:24.160
I cackled because I made one of the most impulsive decisions yesterday.
00:10:33.000
And then I found a nicer hotel, and I checked out early.
00:10:38.160
I moved to a different hotel because the theme of the room is, like,
00:10:49.100
And I go to the front desk, and I'm like, something came up.
00:10:53.400
And she's like, oh, I hope everything's all right.
00:11:02.980
I mean, also, I feel like it also comes from the fact that I was raised in such a strict
00:11:07.020
I feel like at this point, my parents stopped watching.
00:11:11.840
I'm like, uh, yeah, like, I think next week or something.
00:11:14.720
But, yeah, I know they're not going to watch past five minutes.
00:11:20.420
If there's one thing I know about my parents, it is them being super supportive with everything
00:11:27.880
That is 100% like where I am like, you know what?
00:11:37.900
And it's just like, you know, being Dominican and being first generation Dominican in the
00:11:42.540
United States, like, you have such a, I don't know why we're going into childhood
00:11:55.360
Than other kids who were like, their parents were born and raised here too.
00:12:00.220
Like, I wasn't really allowed to go hang out with friends after school.
00:12:03.060
Like, sleeping over a friend's house was like out of the question unless it was a
00:12:08.300
Even like if it was like a distant cousin, it was like, no.
00:12:10.360
It was like, it has to be like one of your closest cousins.
00:12:20.840
As a Virgo, I rebuke in the name of the good Jesus Christ, Beyonce.
00:12:28.160
I can't, I'll literally put something in my Amazon car and I'll leave it in there for
00:12:34.580
Like, I will not make impulsive decisions when it comes to shopping for certain things.
00:12:49.800
So pushing my flight out further, it just calms me down a little more.
00:13:02.160
I, I envy impulsive people sometimes because I, I need like three to five business days to
00:13:11.600
I'm like that when people want to make plans with me.
00:13:13.980
And then like, don't make plans with me the week before.
00:13:17.000
Because the night before, I might just not want to go out with you.
00:13:27.420
Also now, like especially now because my schedule is so busy.
00:13:32.740
People are like, what are you doing on the 12th?
00:13:51.120
And then the week after that, I went back home and then went to VidCon.
00:13:57.540
But like those decisions, like I was like, I don't know what I'm going to do next week.
00:14:05.300
And then they were like, do you want to go to New York this weekend?
00:14:09.200
This is like this job has forced me to be impulsive.
00:14:15.460
But yeah, I would say, I would say I'm glad to hear that you're into spooky season because
00:14:27.600
It's this private university called, well, it's a college, but Malloy College.
00:14:33.880
And there's like the corner where it was like the business students.
00:14:37.040
And I will say there is a lot of slander on business students that I've seen on TikTok.
00:14:46.100
I'm just like, why are they like hating on business students?
00:14:48.740
They're like, yeah, your final was like a coloring book or something.
00:14:56.120
I colored it in, did not color outside of the lines.
00:15:07.380
Well, I mean like when I was in college, I was already dating my future, what's the term?
00:15:15.480
I'm like, we're married, but we'll be married next year.
00:15:24.720
But I, yeah, no, in college, like I, for Halloween, I did go out.
00:15:30.820
I remember the first time I ever dressed up, I was a nun.
00:15:36.160
Yeah, I'm talking about a hard left from your background.
00:15:39.120
She goes, my parents are really religious, didn't celebrate Halloween.
00:15:41.200
Anyways, I was a slutty nun my first college Halloween.
00:15:48.080
If there's one thing I love about Halloween costumes, it's dressing in like long drapey
00:15:56.500
And then I was a Harry, like I was a Gryffindor because, you know, those are like the elite
00:16:05.580
Um, I was just, I was just starting to burst out of my bubble and, um, you know, it was
00:16:12.480
That, I, I, I can't really relate in that sense only because, um, my friends insisted
00:16:18.780
on being slutty for Halloween, which I encourage and encourage you to do so.
00:16:23.600
My only requirement was that it also be clever.
00:16:27.000
So like if we were going to be slutty, I wanted it to also be clever and have like a
00:16:34.020
Yeah, first year, my freshman year of college, we were the Spring Breakers, which is, that
00:16:40.480
In Hawaii on Halloween, they, everyone goes to like Waikiki, which is like the main town
00:16:46.240
and like they all walk in costumes and party and get drunk and blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:16:53.760
So basically we all bought neon green, neon green, neon pink beanies and cut our own eye
00:17:01.980
And then we had like fake guns and we wore bikinis.
00:17:09.140
It was like you just go to the beach and then go to Waikiki.
00:17:11.200
Yeah, except one of my friends got too drunk before we went.
00:17:18.640
She like pulls it down and she's just like suffocating.
00:17:20.720
Yeah, she literally was like, I didn't cut my holes.
00:17:42.520
You see, as a New Yorker, I don't take the subway.
00:17:45.860
I also like to purposely play on this New Yorker personality when I'm with people that aren't
00:17:50.720
I do it on purpose because I know it annoys the hell out of people where I'm just like,
00:17:53.820
yeah, in New York, we have public transportation.
00:18:01.760
And I'm like, well, we have a well-oiled machine.
00:18:06.680
Meanwhile, when it rains, there's like a waterfall and like the ceiling collapses.
00:18:10.720
You know, and don't even get me started on like the homeless situation.
00:18:13.380
And then going in the subway in the summertime is unbelievable.
00:18:23.460
But I think for mostly for Halloween, I was like something relatively clever.
00:18:41.660
The way that both of our brain cells are working so hard, though, we each have one.
00:18:47.600
The cobwebs are coming off of the wheels and they are slowly turning.
00:18:53.280
I don't know what it is about this costume, but it's making me an idiot right now.
00:19:05.600
Speaking of goofs and gaffs, today's topic, we're going to talk about, with Hillary, today
00:19:15.560
We started talking about a bunch of other shit.
00:19:17.320
I'm just someone that wandered in off the streets and I'm like, you guys do a show here?
00:19:20.840
I just got off of work and I just, I would love to sit down and chant with you.
00:19:28.220
Even like, because a lot of my stuff is very improv, like very SNL, it's like just, you
00:19:35.140
know, it's a very natural type of thing that I do.
00:19:42.100
My favorite things, my favorite types of video that I do are the ones, POV, you're at Home
00:19:55.100
You know, I have been like itching to like figure out the right answer because I'll see
00:20:00.120
millennials saying that I am, but then I'll see people saying that I'm a Gen Z because
00:20:04.020
I was born in 95 and apparently, but apparently 96 is the cutoff.
00:20:08.240
But then people are saying that I'm a Gen Z because I, that's denial.
00:20:15.120
Because like we, there's just so much millennial slander.
00:20:19.220
And you guys need to stop because we carry social media on our backs.
00:20:24.140
So millennial goes all the way up to, I think, like 32.
00:20:30.560
So like that's who you're talking about when you're talking about.
00:20:33.560
See, because you're making fun of the Home Goods signs and that's millennial humor.
00:20:37.920
Like, like those signs that say things like life takes you places, love brings you home.
00:20:43.480
And don't even get me started with the Ray Dunn.
00:20:45.060
When I first moved out, I bought my dogs a bowl and I didn't really think about it that much.
00:20:52.640
But now that I hate on Ray Dunn so much, I remember the fact that my dog's water bowl says, good boy.
00:21:01.780
So I know you know how to read when you bought that thing.
00:21:05.620
What I started doing, I started turning the bowl.
00:21:08.660
Every time I put the bowl up, I turn it and I put it facing the wall.
00:21:15.360
They don't need homeware to be telling them that.
00:21:22.200
When I go to my mom's house, she is like peak, like a Ray Dunn farmhouse.
00:21:41.140
There were so many roosters growing up in my house.
00:21:45.640
And yeah, she was the type that had the towels that said dry.
00:21:54.500
I think that, I think that your videos like that are so funny too.
00:21:58.520
And I also think people can relate because they find, also find them cringe.
00:22:04.080
Like, it's not like, I'm not saying like, oh my God, these are so funny.
00:22:10.120
Like, those are, and those are the exact faces that I make when I'm walking around in HomeGoods.
00:22:13.880
And I'm just, and I see people walking around with their live, laugh, love signs.
00:22:28.000
I'll let you say what's the most millennial thing about you.
00:22:39.300
Well, I don't have a stroller because my dogs are about 90 pounds.
00:22:49.800
The first time I tried walking them by myself, my ass was dragging along the grass in my white
00:22:56.440
And they were a lot lighter in weight, let me tell you that, but I, yeah, no, I'm a huge
00:23:03.320
Like people are like, when are you having kids?
00:23:13.640
Me immediately like taking pictures and sending them.
00:23:16.220
So my boyfriend is probably the most millennial thing about me.
00:23:22.000
And it's like also like when they're sleeping, they're trying to get some sleep and I'll like tiptoe
00:23:26.880
I'll grab my phone and I'll just do the most obscure angle to get a photo of them.
00:23:38.540
Every time I go out, it's also maybe like a overcompensating for leaving them by themselves,
00:23:45.020
Every time I go out, I never come home without at least buying them a toy.
00:23:50.880
I was just telling my boyfriend that the other day, like my sister came over to my
00:23:58.900
And then my sister goes, it looks like a kid lives here because all his toys were all over
00:24:23.460
I just pull out a wallet photo and like the little, the little plastic.
00:24:28.240
Speaking of golden doodles, there's a lot of golden doodle slander on TikTok.
00:24:32.240
I'm very happy you said that because I was like, I thought I was the only one that saw
00:24:35.380
And people are saying that like golden doodles are like so annoying.
00:24:39.500
And this, you know, the, the, the wannabe, like I'm as a vet tack, as a dog trainer, these
00:24:51.200
Like, they're just like, yeah, as a dog trainer, like these are some of the most like annoying
00:25:05.580
You get a poodle and a super intelligent dog, a golden retriever, beautiful.
00:25:13.320
Cause that is what this country was founded on.
00:25:40.960
Like no other name would fit him like quite like that one.
00:25:44.480
I like the idea of names being like inanimate objects, like bread.
00:25:57.420
If I asked you what your dog's name's were and you said Ray and Dunn, that would be funny.
00:26:09.720
So what I'm going to do is what I do here on the comment section show is I bring up two
00:26:14.820
videos that were brought to me, tagged me in, whatever, and they apply to our topic
00:26:20.440
And then what we do is we bring them here and we talk about them.
00:26:28.800
I don't know why I'm picturing like when you're like, these videos were brought to me.
00:26:31.260
I just picture someone rolling a cart like it sounds like mail call top secret and they
00:26:36.960
like unveil it and they're like, these are the videos that will be used.
00:26:42.340
So this first video, I always just describe them.
00:26:56.180
But he says where he plays, he's playing two different guys trying to write an online
00:27:01.220
They're both watching videos of male comedians whose names I won't mention, but they are
00:27:11.800
And they quickly come up with reasons why they should be canceled and they just get increasingly
00:27:17.940
So essentially the point of his video is like making fun of woke culture.
00:27:21.800
Yeah, like woke people will find any reason to cancel male comedians.
00:27:37.860
They told you you couldn't be racist in your standup.
00:27:48.660
Well, I always think like if your comedy is based in bigotry, you're not funny.
00:27:55.900
Like I'm like, there are so many ways that you can be funny.
00:27:58.280
You can make fun of anyone without being super harsh.
00:28:01.360
I just don't understand the point of like having to include like misogyny, bigotry, racism.
00:28:13.140
Especially if it's coming from said, what is the word I'm looking for?
00:28:17.180
Like let's say I'm a comedian and I'm making stereotypes about Dominican people.
00:28:21.240
Like I can go hard because these are my people.
00:28:23.560
But at the end of the day, like I'm proud to be Dominican.
00:28:26.540
And no one can make fun of a Dominican better than a Dominican.
00:28:30.180
Well, and it's all based in love more than anything.
00:28:37.960
Like I can make jokes about someone people because I am someone.
00:28:55.260
But honestly, it's like one of my favorite cultures to like whenever I'm on TikTok and
00:29:03.600
I am just like I remember during the pandemic, there was a sound that it was Maori and they
00:29:14.960
It was like 15, 20 videos of me like just liking them.
00:29:19.400
The ones in the soccer games before like they play.
00:29:23.720
I, so I actually brought adoption papers for your mom.
00:29:34.720
But it's like, it's like, cause the haka is Maori.
00:29:44.900
Someone tried to like insult me once and then said like, I can't believe you would say that
00:29:51.040
And I'm like, I'm not even, but it's not even an insult.
00:29:57.440
If you're going to be racist towards me, get it right.
00:30:01.600
You know how many people have been racist towards me and like said like, oh, like call
00:30:10.220
Like I've, people that have met me, they always are like, oh, are you mixed?
00:30:13.680
But honestly, Dominicans can range from looking Spaniard to Middle Eastern to black.
00:30:21.680
It's all, well, that's one of those things I think where they, their scope is so small.
00:30:30.100
So they, if you're not visibly like Hispanic or white, they're like, what could you be?
00:30:37.840
You know, you're not, if you're not visibly anything else, they're like, okay, I only
00:30:42.060
So you're clearly not, you're obviously not Asian.
00:30:48.820
Like they, they only know three ethnicities in the entire universe, like bigots.
00:30:54.040
So that's why when, when sometimes when they try to be racist towards me, they pick the
00:30:59.160
I'm like, you're not even just like, try again.
00:31:02.200
Like, like, I mean, you're not even good at bigotry.
00:31:07.860
If you can't even be racist correctly, you're not even good at that.
00:31:10.200
Have you ever seen the TikTok sound where it's like, oh, but you don't even look.
00:31:15.140
And then, uh, or ethnicity and you, and they, they play the stereotype.
00:31:19.520
So like for me, uh, it's almost like, oh, but you don't even look Dominican.
00:31:23.420
I'll just, and then I, uh, there was one of like a Dominican holding a plantain with like
00:31:34.320
It's just an extreme form of ignorance speaking of.
00:31:37.400
So this video is essentially, they're basically saying that like woke people are canceling
00:31:46.780
But I always think like in order to cancel them, they have to like not be actively working.
00:31:55.320
Like the people that he was referencing are people that have been widely criticized
00:32:00.200
because they say very bigoted things in their routines.
00:32:04.600
They choose to do it because they're full grown men who are in their fifties.
00:32:09.240
So like I, in order to cancel them, they have to not be working.
00:32:15.780
It just sucks because I was such a fan of some of these comedians like way back.
00:32:20.300
And honestly, it's crazy how much also like TV changed because like with these shows
00:32:24.740
with the comedians, like, and also like how TV shows and movies, like there's so much
00:32:29.040
like deep rooted, like kind of like misogynistic and like racist stuff that like we used to
00:32:35.480
And now that when you, when you look back at it, I'm just like, oh my God, I can't believe
00:32:50.440
The way like they just casually mention like things like a song and stuff like it's, it's,
00:32:57.520
I see, I always think to myself like what you did in the past, like for example, if some
00:33:02.820
of these comedians did terrible things in the past or like they made jokes that are obviously
00:33:07.900
in their very nature, misogynistic, homophobic, whatever.
00:33:13.240
You have the right to evolve and change your routine.
00:33:16.500
And if you don't in 2022, that's an active choice you're making.
00:33:24.780
You can fully make that choice to either change your comedy or just don't do it at all.
00:33:28.900
Well, and there's, there's plenty of comedians that are just unbelievably funny without resorting
00:33:40.540
As soon as, as soon as I say that though, like terrible men are like, you make fun of people
00:33:49.220
Like, they're just like, you're making fun of the man and you should be looking at yourself
00:33:59.140
Like, I just picture like, uh, the fricking monsters from, uh, men in black, like just
00:34:09.420
Honestly, I have to commend you for being able to take all that because it's not easy.
00:34:16.280
Like me being a people pleaser, I live to make people happy.
00:34:19.800
Like for me, it's one of those things where it's like, I just love seeing people happy.
00:34:23.860
And the moment I get a comment that's like, I don't see how people think she's funny.
00:34:33.920
I just think like, if that's the case, why'd you have to tell me?
00:34:41.220
And also, clearly we have made careers off of not being funny.
00:34:48.500
Like, I genuinely am like, like, what are the odds you know what's funny?
00:34:53.220
Like, let's look at, like, you want to check tape?
00:35:05.200
I don't see how you can eat from outside of the club.
00:35:06.920
That's like, that's, I've told men that before who write that, they're like, this bitch isn't even funny.
00:35:12.140
Oh, I just know they went to the gym after and just pounded.
00:35:14.760
Well, they'd have to ask their mom for a ride first.
00:35:18.180
But I literally, I literally, I've responded to comments like that and I've been like, yeah, I'm going to take this real seriously from someone with 16 followers.
00:35:30.600
16 followers with, like, an anime profile photo?
00:35:33.400
Or it says, like, it says, I bet you my comment made you mad, huh?
00:35:37.580
You know, after they commented, they're like, hold on, wait, I need to go to my profile and just change it, my bio.
00:35:42.340
So, yeah, so I've had, yeah, some dudes send me hate DMs or thousands of dudes do every, every single day.
00:35:51.160
I save every single one, every single one I've ever had.
00:35:56.800
And I, and I keep it, you know, so I can, like, sleep at night.
00:36:01.940
You put them under your pillow and you're like, the food fairy will bring me another campaign.
00:36:07.620
But I, I, I'll tweet them, like, some dude just messaged me, you're a two.
00:36:14.440
And, like, with the wrong form of your, first of all.
00:36:23.660
And then I put it on Twitter and I just put, oh, word.
00:36:29.340
Listen, if there's one thing that I love that you do, that I also do, but not as frequently,
00:36:34.500
because I, I don't know, I just don't get that many hate comments, which, again, power
00:36:38.920
to you because I, I would literally, and that's the thing, I feel like you compose yourself
00:36:42.980
better than I do, but because I'm a Lior and I am very impulsive, I would go off, like,
00:36:49.300
on social media and just be like, you guys, you want to see us just start showing them
00:36:54.880
But I love that you put these people on blast because you want the clout?
00:37:01.040
If you want it, I'll give it to you because my sister will always be like, oh, don't
00:37:07.600
Like, you might as well make them look stupid while you give them the said attention.
00:37:11.500
I've had countless dudes, like, message me and then I post their, their profiles and
00:37:20.480
If you send me a hate DM, I'd wipe any trace of your face from that profile.
00:37:26.140
And their social security number is, like, written on the bottom.
00:37:27.900
Yeah, like, I, I've tweeted it, but there was one dude that lived in the UK for some
00:37:35.680
I don't know who the hell it was, but, like, I think a British dude made a hate video about
00:37:40.020
me or something because I, I kicked that hornet's nest hard as hell because they were come in.
00:37:46.960
Like, I had nothing but British dudes and they write the most, like, asinine.
00:38:01.000
No, I literally see dust and I knew it was going to make me sneeze.
00:38:05.980
Yeah, I, I really angered the UK men for some reason.
00:38:11.280
And I, they were coming, like, in droves and they write the craziest insults.
00:38:18.340
Like, they write, they'll write me 10 words before they actually get to the point of the
00:38:24.680
See, the thing with you is, this is the thing about you, yeah?
00:38:27.880
That they write all of that out and then they'll be like, you're a fat bitch.
00:38:34.520
I'm just like, if I ever see you in Edinburgh, I swear to God.
00:38:43.280
This, this is the thing, this is your problem, bruv.
00:38:50.180
But I had one dude, I swear to God, on the money every morning at 4 a.m. my time.
00:39:01.780
Every morning, every morning, 4 a.m. on the money, for like four days in a row, he
00:39:12.000
And he was sending me voice notes, but you could hear him taking a piss in the background.
00:39:19.420
Every morning you get up, he's like, oh, I got to send that fat bitch.
00:39:27.740
He's like, here's the thing about you, you're a fat bitch.
00:39:31.420
That's what he was sending me, but like, he was like half awake.
00:39:37.960
And then you can hear him like, like, in the background, like he's peeing.
00:39:43.980
And I was like, is this man getting ready for work?
00:39:46.680
And he's calling me like he's sending me a voice memo.
00:40:00.460
I have a penthouse apartment in that brain at that point.
00:40:05.040
If Drew had a dollar for every hate comment she had, she would own Dubai.
00:40:13.160
And that's why I was like, the craziest thing about this is the consistency.
00:40:18.820
And honestly, you got to commend that just a little bit.
00:40:25.800
And then I saw, I went and looked at his profile and he wears a fedora unironically.
00:40:30.700
So that tells me all I really need to know about you, brother.
00:40:51.380
So the comments in this, it says, if only they would work that hard to make money in life.
00:41:02.520
For like, they're saying like for people trying to cancel them, they're like, if you worked
00:41:11.180
You know, one time this dude was trying to write a hate comment on my video and it was like
00:41:15.320
this dissertation, but he was like calling me all these names, but I watched him write
00:41:20.080
it and delete it like four times because he kept misspelling shit.
00:41:23.320
And I literally put him like, the funniest part about this is that you, I watched you rewrite
00:41:43.020
Okay, this next comment says, I think everyone can agree this whole cancel and woke culture
00:42:00.600
I get what you're saying, but the energy is misdirected.
00:42:04.860
You're talking about not canceling outright racist or like transphobic people or homophobic
00:42:10.440
people, whereas where it's being directed is that other people who don't deserve that.
00:42:25.060
The M&M's where they gave the girl heels, uh, boots or sneakers or something like that.
00:42:29.760
I was like, I mean, okay, but like, there are people getting killed in like third world
00:42:40.060
I empathize and sympathize a hundred percent, but I'm like, I would rather focus on like,
00:42:44.680
you know, like what's happening right now in Iran, which is unbelievably tragic.
00:42:51.240
Like I will touch on also like the, um, the whole, I don't know if you were familiar with
00:42:59.360
So like, I understand where our frustration comes from as minorities with the whole, you
00:43:06.180
White people just like gentrify this, this and that.
00:43:07.760
And then I'm like, so let's not eat at Taco Bell or Chipotle.
00:43:14.920
It's, it's, it's, I think for me, it's like, it's completely void of context.
00:43:21.100
When you, when you factor in like someone in 2022 as a full grown man who's established
00:43:27.300
So he makes millions of dollars already with or without doing a standup and he's choosing
00:43:31.300
to do standup and he's choosing to be offensive, that's different.
00:43:35.260
As opposed to someone who's like, they're, I don't know if they, if they used to laugh
00:43:42.200
at things in the past that were not funny, that they were based in bigotry and they're
00:43:48.900
I wish I never posted those things, but like I did, I can't change it.
00:43:51.580
So moving forward, like I'm never going to do things like that again.
00:43:57.560
And I think that context and nuances is required, but like saying like a one size fits all,
00:44:05.800
Woe culture is, it's important that we evolve as people.
00:44:09.140
Like we grow and we understand some things are just not funny anymore.
00:44:12.220
Like you think about our next president of the United States, ladies and gentlemen.
00:44:15.620
I like take this off and I have a, I'm actually her campaign manager.
00:44:22.200
But then you think about like, if you think about movies like the hangover, the hangover
00:44:26.160
to this day is one of the highest grossing movies of all time.
00:44:34.180
Oh, do you remember the words they used in that movie?
00:44:36.140
Do you remember the humor that they had in that movie?
00:44:40.800
Now at the time, that's not what they thought at the time.
00:44:47.500
So you think about like, these are the same, the dudes who say this are like, whoa, culture
00:44:51.700
They're the same dudes who platform misogyny, who platform bigotry.
00:44:55.720
And they're like, you guys are so, but then like someone like me comes along and I describe
00:45:03.100
I'm like, yeah, that's a white dude with glasses.
00:45:11.500
They're like, how could you platform this bully?
00:45:15.380
They're like, how could you platform this bully?
00:45:21.140
You guys don't actually care about wool culture.
00:45:24.820
You're just hating on a hot woman making bank off of your misery.
00:45:31.960
This last one says, this for real is what happens when I try to drop game on a woman.
00:45:43.360
So you're dropping misogyny, racism, bigotry on a woman?
00:45:48.800
If you describe talking to women as dropping game, you're not getting any.
00:45:55.380
I don't think that man has ever been in a relationship with it.
00:45:59.180
Because you describe it as dropping game on a woman.
00:46:03.240
You know this guy plays video games on a daily basis.
00:46:15.280
Like, that's how I know you're not getting any.
00:46:40.100
She made a comedy video where she says, guys will be like, you're such a great catch.
00:46:43.680
And she pulls out a wedding veil and flowers and says, catch me then.
00:46:54.580
So, essentially, the point of the video, it's satirical.
00:47:06.980
And, like, that's where it's like, it goes over their head.
00:47:10.060
Because unless it's outright offensive, they're like, I don't get it.
00:47:20.840
But, like, when you make a nuanced joke, they're like, I don't get it.
00:47:28.680
Like, just say you're not smart enough to understand the joke, babe.
00:47:31.480
So, like, the men in this comment section basically did not understand, obviously, that it was satire.
00:47:37.920
So, this one says, she went omega level clinger in under three seconds.
00:47:54.480
Like, if you haven't seen the video, it's like, she's literally just rising and the veil comes out of nowhere.
00:48:01.780
Like, how did you not understand that that was a joke?
00:48:08.660

00:48:33.460
This is like, this is like, to me, this makes me laugh really hard when it's on, like, videos like this.
00:48:47.960
Like, it's not, like, you're not messaging the person personally.
00:49:00.560
I need a thesis, an intro, body, and conclusion.
00:49:06.040
The way they talk about dating as if it's, like, a resume call.
00:49:11.880
They're like, explain to me what you think you would bring to this company.
00:49:19.460
And I've said, too, on this, I've said it on this podcast several times and also on TikTok,
00:49:23.900
but, like, the whole what do you bring to the table shit infuriates me.
00:49:29.160
And I see it from a point of view more of, like, empathy because I don't have that much
00:49:35.540
experience in that because I dated my first boyfriend when I was fresh out of high school.
00:49:43.840
But the things that I hear, like, my friends telling me and the things that I see, like,
00:49:47.260
on YouTube with the men just being like, oh, what do you bring to the table?
00:49:52.220
I'm like, if Andrew ever asked me that, oh, we are swinging.
00:50:01.640
I'm just like, what do you mean what I mean to the – I bring more than you.
00:50:04.940
Well, I always think, like, you – I've said this before, but, like, the whole what do you
00:50:11.040
I've said before, you don't have a seat at this table, so you don't need to worry about
00:50:17.520
Babe, you don't even have the address to the restaurant.
00:50:23.000
Don't worry about it because you're not sitting here eating.
00:50:40.360
The way that British men, like, the way they insult me, it kills me, bro.
00:50:55.980
I'm like, halfway through it, I'm like, I'm not reading all that, bro.
00:51:07.000
And then this other guy wrote, possibly psycho.
00:51:14.000
It's like, there's, like, certain comments where it's like, okay, I see that you tried
00:51:19.300
But then there are these kind of comments where it's like.
00:51:24.780
Like, it just physically makes my body just, like, turn inside out.
00:51:31.020
I want to say, like, go touch some grass, dude.
00:51:48.960
They're like, you know, when I get this one, I'm going to mattify it.
00:52:09.120
With me is, like, when I go to the auto shop, that is, like, truly when I feel like what
00:52:20.880
Andrew was literally telling me this the other day.
00:52:23.860
He was like, how do you still have a functioning car?
00:52:27.100
Because every time my tire pressure goes down, I have this tire in the back of my car that
00:52:31.900
always goes low when it's cold, and I am too afraid to fill it because I have a deadly
00:52:44.040
So, it is, like, literally a bomb exploding on you.
00:52:46.720
So, from that day on, it was, like, maybe five, six years ago, I never put air on my tires.
00:52:52.360
So, every time I always go with my husband to the gas station, I'm like, yeah, can you
00:53:02.020
And he was like, when was the last time you got an oil change?
00:53:06.320
He's like, you don't get an oil change, like, monthly?
00:53:15.480
It was like, what if your husband was giving you bad advice?
00:53:26.940
But that's another reason why I don't like going, because I don't know enough about cars
00:53:31.900
And then they take advantage of you and tell you that you need the 46, nine-inch test tube
00:53:36.960
to go into the watch-ma-jigger and to fix the kappa-beta cap plug for the windshield
00:53:46.380
But, you know, I feel like such a mechanic when I get windshield wiper fluid.
00:53:50.460
I'm like, at the gas station, I, like, put it up, the little rod, and I'm just, like,
00:53:55.760
But you just rub grease in your face, even though you didn't know about the car.
00:54:19.760
And honestly, I actually don't go in like that.
00:54:21.480
I don't need oil changes anymore because now I have a fully electric car.
00:54:28.460
What's funny is when I did, though, have my old car and I had to get, you know, you should
00:54:42.140
When I was getting them, I was driving so far at my, like, job before I did this that,
00:54:50.280
And they would ask me, like, sometimes the dudes would talk to me like I was an idiot.
00:54:57.440
And I'm like, I'm driving like 100 plus miles a day.
00:55:03.220
Like, I get so, like, angry because I don't like when they talk down to me.
00:55:19.140
Every time I FaceTime him, he's always like, does something happen with the car?
00:55:24.200
What is a routing system for the Wi-Fi network in the Kia?
00:55:33.600
Like, my dad always sends me to the same mechanic that he's been working with since he had his little hooptie in the 90s.
00:55:39.360
And I'm just like, Dad, this guy can barely see.
00:55:47.200
I used to have a Jeep that whenever it was at 60 miles an hour, the car would shift to the right.
00:55:57.760
Yeah, it was something with, like, the tire alignment.
00:56:10.300
My car used to start shaking violently and, like, just violently make a right.
00:56:20.300
Okay, I didn't have, like, the Jeep, but I had, like, a cute little Jeep.
00:56:44.680
So I thought that I was, like, the talk of the town because I had a Jeep, but I hated
00:57:03.700
I thought you just meant, like, if I liked Jeeps.
00:57:07.240
I thought my boyfriend made this shit up, but it's actually true.
00:57:29.480
Tell me that doesn't make you want to shoot yourself in the head.
00:57:31.460
Drew, why did I think that when you said Jeep wave, I thought you meant, like.
00:57:40.700
No, literally, they go like, and I swear to God.
00:57:45.040
Teffy just posted a video about this where she was like, sometimes I make fun of my boyfriend.
00:57:49.000
Like, if you're dating me, I'm going to make fun of you.
00:57:50.520
This is one of the things I make fun of my boyfriend for.
00:57:58.800
Wait, now I want to get a Jeep just because of that.
00:58:01.620
And I thought he was making that shit up to, like, make me look silly.
00:58:23.100
Nobody better do a Jeep thumb or I'm going to sue you.
00:58:28.480
It's just, like, a big thumb just, like, pulling that back.
00:58:30.800
No, literally, the Jeep wave thing, like, makes me want to die.
00:58:35.800
But, like, I think it's now, like, a reflex almost.
00:58:51.500
And he's like, well, now I mean, like, they do it to me, so I can't not do it.
00:58:58.640
He should do, like, the good American wave, though.
00:59:08.020
When you know when you see, like, another person of your ethnicity.
00:59:15.760
Dominicans just say, que lo que, and just get really loud for no reason.
00:59:35.200
It's like one of those things where, like, the magnets, it, like, pulls all of them up.
00:59:38.720
That's all my brain cells evaporating out of my brain.
00:59:42.280
When I take off this hat, I just know there's going to be a red line.
00:59:49.380
That's another reason why I got male costumes, too, because they make female costumes so small.
00:59:58.760
If you're like, I could literally disappear into it if I really wanted to.
01:00:01.300
Yeah, that's the problem also, like, with girl costumes, too.
01:00:19.060
Yeah, like, if it's an extra large in white people sizing, it's more like a medium.
01:00:25.460
We can go on a tangent with the whole, like, sizing and stuff.
01:00:40.680
What do you want people to know when it comes to sketch comedy?
01:00:44.380
And women and women who are trying to be in the comedy space, I guess.
01:00:49.240
I think the most important thing is sounds very cliche, but you have to be yourself because
01:00:54.540
there is no better type of comedy than comedy coming from a person who's just naturally like
01:01:00.420
Like, it's, it's, you can also put on a character.
01:01:05.240
Don't be, like, you can be funny and, and grow a platform if you want to without having
01:01:14.180
Like, I lightheartedly make fun of the Ray Dunns and the people that buy their live,
01:01:19.040
But at the end of the day, like, it's all just fun and games.
01:01:21.320
And honestly, it just feels great to be able to kind of say, like, you know, I'm a Dominican
01:01:36.260
It's time the minorities come out on top and I swear to God.
01:01:47.680
So everybody can find me on Instagram on, I almost forgot my username, Hillary period
01:02:08.420
