The Comment Section with Drew Afualo - THE FUNNEL CAKE FIGHT Ft. Jessie Reyez ｜ Episode 146

00:00:00.000 When you're that young, your frontal lobe is not developed, so you don't make the smartest decision. 0.99

00:00:04.740 So I didn't make a smart decision, and then it was the closest door to my house, so I was like, fuck it, I'm going. 0.95

00:00:09.440 Calling out at work and showing up at work, but as a patron? 0.97

00:00:12.100 But I was like, how can I get in and out quick? And I was like, I know, rollerblades.

00:00:17.620 Rollerblades will get me in and out of there quick.

00:00:19.500 I'm deadass. I think I was like 16, so I was like, fuck it, rollerblades, got some snacks, like, went to the quick cashier. 0.99

00:00:26.160 Anyways, I got a call later that night, and it was the boss, and she was like, it doesn't really seem like you want to work here. 0.95

00:00:31.160 And I was like, you're right.

00:00:38.160 Hey, everyone, and welcome back to another episode of the Comment Section Show, starring me, your fave, everybody knows me, who cares about me?

00:00:44.800 On to the guests. Today, we have the iconic, the legendary, the amazingly talented, Jessie Reyes.

00:00:51.100 Welcome to the show, Miss Queen. How have you been? How's life?

00:00:57.860 Life is good, man. Tired, at it, fucking stressed and blessed. 0.99

00:01:02.660 Right. The only way to do it. 0.99

00:01:04.320 All right, fine. I'll confess something to you, Jessie.

00:01:08.040 Years ago, your song, Figures, was my number one played song for the year.

00:01:13.060 All right, it's out there. We put it out there. It doesn't have to be weird.

00:01:16.140 We addressed it. Gone. Only weird thing I'm going to say, unless something else comes back to me.

00:01:21.040 All right, lit. Lit, lit, lit. Bless you. And I'm sorry.

00:01:24.540 I've been obsessed with you for a very long time. Not in a weird way, in a very honest way.

00:01:28.580 Ditto.

00:01:28.920 This is me being honest.

00:01:29.940 Ditto, ditto. I swear, I know, I'm going to repeat it, but pretend like this is the first time you've heard it.

00:01:34.000 The first time I feel like I watched one of your videos, I was literally amped.

00:01:38.500 Like, I loved it, and I felt so seen. 0.99

00:01:40.760 And it was so sick, and I was cackling my ass off, and the feminist in me was so happy that this guy was getting fucking roasted. 0.97

00:01:47.900 And I remember commenting, like, I think I was like a heart emoji, and I was like, you're doing God's work. 0.99

00:01:52.420 Yeah, and when I saw it, shit my pants.

00:01:54.860 That's me being honest, too. I lied about the last thing. 0.93

00:01:56.980 That's the last weird thing I'm going to say.

00:01:58.740 Again, unless something else comes up.

00:02:00.220 Okay, great.

00:02:00.760 But I was so fucking fired up, because I've loved you forever. 0.74

00:02:03.480 I just think you're an unbelievable vocalist. 0.66

00:02:06.000 Thank you.

00:02:06.400 And I think you're so special and amazing.

00:02:08.000 And if we fall in love, oh, well.

00:02:10.180 Okay.

00:02:10.500 It happens to a lot of people on here.

00:02:11.620 Love it.

00:02:11.960 I'm very charming.

00:02:12.720 Okay.

00:02:13.720 I'm a huge, huge fan, obviously, and I just think you're so incredible.

00:02:17.320 And you've been in the business for a long time, so obviously I'm very familiar with your lore.

00:02:22.440 But for those who aren't, can you tell them a little bit about how you, like, got into the industry?

00:02:26.740 What kind of drew you to it?

00:02:27.940 Obviously, you have a natural God-given talent, but just, like, what your process was of kind of, like, getting into being a vocalist.

00:02:34.240 Yeah.

00:02:34.520 I mean, I loved it since I was a kid.

00:02:36.140 I don't know about natural, though. 0.99

00:02:37.080 I had to work my ass off to get better because I used to sound like absolute shit. 0.99

00:02:40.880 I don't believe you. 0.99

00:02:42.140 I swear.

00:02:42.680 I had really bad pitch.

00:02:43.660 And honestly, I still work on it.

00:02:44.880 I still, like, study vocalists that I admire and, like, break down runs and work on scales.

00:02:49.940 Wow, that's crazy.

00:02:51.000 Yeah.

00:02:51.400 But that's also why anyone that ever hits me, and, for example, people that haven't found their passion or their vocation yet,

00:02:56.760 or people that have but don't feel like they're good and are scared of putting things out,

00:03:00.680 I'm always, like, fail faster, man. 0.99

00:03:02.520 Just fucking learn how to take constructive criticism. 0.99

00:03:05.100 Right. 0.99

00:03:05.160 Tell the people around you that you're not, first of all, learn how to have, like, good emotional equilibrium

00:03:08.920 so that you're open enough to take it, but then actually have the, like, wherewithal to apply it and get better

00:03:14.560 and objectively analyze yourself to how you could get better.

00:03:18.400 But that's what I did when I was younger, and I was able to get better.

00:03:21.600 And then I was doing talent shows.

00:03:25.480 I'm pretty sure I did a talent show at a mall.

00:03:27.100 Like, how old were you when you did the talent show?

00:03:30.360 It wasn't that long ago.

00:03:31.180 It was, like, maybe 21, 22.

00:03:33.360 Really?

00:03:33.920 Yeah.

00:03:34.320 That's cool.

00:03:35.060 Yeah, crazy.

00:03:35.860 I love that.

00:03:36.880 Where was it at?

00:03:37.800 Toronto.

00:03:38.580 Jane and Finchmont.

00:03:39.780 Okay.

00:03:40.020 Okay, good.

00:03:40.740 Yeah.

00:03:41.540 I joined this thing called the Remix Project that changed my life.

00:03:44.280 It's, like, a program for at-risk youth from, like, 16 to 24 that don't have access to studio or mentors or anything like that.

00:03:52.900 Wow, that's cool.

00:03:53.800 Yeah, it's lit.

00:03:54.540 The Remix Project, I swear by it.

00:03:57.000 They're great, and that place changed my life.

00:03:58.700 But mainly because it was the first time that, in my life, it had always been a dream,

00:04:03.560 and it had always been something that wasn't tangible, that I couldn't touch.

00:04:06.460 It was always, like, on a screen.

00:04:08.080 It was so far away, so far removed.

00:04:10.060 And then when I joined that program, it was the first time that I was introduced to, like, real mentorship.

00:04:15.960 Yeah.

00:04:16.880 And someone came to speak, who was King Louie, who's a drill rapper from Chicago, who I love to death.

00:04:22.260 Yeah.

00:04:22.960 And multiple people came, but him being in person and being human and having succeeded, despite all the adversities that he faced, 0.98

00:04:33.000 made it more of a reality for me to be like, okay, fuck, you can do it, you're human, you bleed like me, you breathe like me, I can do it too. 0.99

00:04:38.980 That's cool. 1.00

00:04:40.220 I love that.

00:04:41.200 So how long after you were in the Remix Project did you end up, like, getting signed or signing to someone or start putting out singles?

00:04:48.380 Like, what order did that happen in?

00:04:49.920 The team slowly started coming together.

00:04:51.920 My first manager at that point was with my first manager, Mauricio Ruiz, who also told me about the Remix Project.

00:04:56.300 Okay.

00:04:56.900 And then he was friends with Byron Wilson, who's my other manager, who was over there.

00:05:03.540 Love.

00:05:03.900 And still here.

00:05:05.420 And still here.

00:05:06.020 Love that.

00:05:06.680 Yeah, yeah.

00:05:08.860 He works with another artist who, was there, am I doing publishing for Sun? 0.57

00:05:14.320 Publishing for Sun, who heard my shit and was like, lit, I want to bring her out, and then flew me and me out to LA for the first time. 0.99

00:05:22.160 And I was terrified to sign, because you hear so many fucking horror stories about Hollywood. 0.98

00:05:26.340 I know, dude. 0.99

00:05:27.240 I can only fucking imagine. 0.96

00:05:28.660 Yeah. 0.84

00:05:29.080 And so I was terrified of contracts, and I was terrified of, it's so funny, because you dream of getting signed when you're a kid, and then when you're at the precipice of it, you realize how much is at stake.

00:05:37.940 So I was hella nervous, but it was great, because Jermai was really patient, and like, months, months of me being like, I don't know, I don't know if I want to do this.

00:05:48.180 And they, he just, he like, went out on a limb for me, like, made BMG still fork up money for me and sent me to a writing camp in Sweden.

00:05:56.020 While I'm, while you're not signed to the company, when the company is willing to invest in you regardless, is them trying to be like, yo, we really believe in you.

00:06:02.320 And I didn't have anything, I didn't have much out as an artist.

00:06:04.480 Anything to merit investment was strictly based off of someone seeing potential, you know?

00:06:11.300 So it was him seeing potential and willing to risk it.

00:06:13.620 And then I went to Sweden and then wrote a bunch of songs, because it was a songwriting camp for bigger artists.

00:06:18.760 Met these two producers there on like the third, first of all, I was really depressed and drinking a lot.

00:06:23.080 So these guys helped me out, because they were like, we love you.

00:06:27.040 We want to pay for you to stay on our dollar.

00:06:30.240 Stay an extra, so the writing camp was paid for by BMG.

00:06:33.020 The extra week, it was the two producers being like, we want you to stay, we'll pay for it, we can work on whatever you want.

00:06:37.940 You can write for others, you can write for yourself, we just have faith in you.

00:06:40.740 And I was like, okay.

00:06:42.240 Okay.

00:06:43.040 And so I stayed, and then that week I ended up writing figures.

00:06:47.460 No way.

00:06:48.440 Yeah. 1.00

00:06:48.800 That's fucking crazy! 0.98

00:06:51.080 Me finding out the lore behind one of my favorite songs ever. 0.98

00:06:53.740 Love that.

00:06:54.340 There was a lot of whiskey involved.

00:06:55.420 Okay, so I do want to ask you about like the writing process as a whole, and like how does that work for you?

00:07:01.720 Because I think past, like I'm obviously like, I love a beautiful song, but I love lyrics.

00:07:07.160 Like I'm a very lyric heavy person.

00:07:08.700 Like that's like how I love songs. 0.99

00:07:10.880 No shit! 0.99

00:07:11.460 And I feel like your lyrics are unbelievable. 0.99

00:07:13.560 Thank you.

00:07:13.860 So I'm curious like how your process goes.

00:07:16.640 Like how do you typically, like do you write when you feel inspired?

00:07:19.060 Or do you kind of like brain dump, or do you come back, revisit, that kind of stuff?

00:07:23.620 Like what does that look like for you?

00:07:25.840 I hate fighting for it.

00:07:27.480 I hate like when I have to search for it, it doesn't feel natural.

00:07:31.220 And usually in my life, like I get knee jerk when I'm really, really emotional.

00:07:35.080 It'll just pour out.

00:07:36.120 Yeah.

00:07:36.640 Like vomit.

00:07:37.200 And the benefit of my working process is that for me it's more quantity based, and then I sort out the quality.

00:07:51.760 Oh, okay.

00:07:52.440 Yeah, so I'll be in the studio for like a full day and like make like five songs, and not all five are good. 0.96

00:07:57.180 Like four of them might be shit, and one of them is worth polishing. 0.78

00:07:59.760 And then I'll take that one and invest. 0.98

00:08:01.480 Mind you, like that's, I know there's people that, there's much more successful people that will devote five hours to the one, 0.98

00:08:06.840 but I have to do it after, because I hate committing, and then four hours in I'm like, this is ass. 0.93

00:08:11.520 Yeah, you find out, you can't save it. 0.92

00:08:13.100 Yeah, yeah, you find out, you can't save it.

00:08:15.500 This one's dead, give her back. 1.00

00:08:17.400 I prefer that. 0.92

00:08:18.280 But then the downside of that is then when it comes time to make an album, it's such a shitty process,

00:08:23.480 because there's so many dead songs on the floor that you just kind of got to say goodbye to.

00:08:27.580 Or you put them on a shelf and you say maybe later when the time's right, or you give them to other artists.

00:08:31.700 Yeah.

00:08:32.320 How has that been for you?

00:08:33.540 Do you prefer, do you like writing for others too?

00:08:35.500 Yeah, I love it.

00:08:36.120 A lot of my friends who are musicians too, they really love writing for other people too.

00:08:40.560 Yeah, who?

00:08:41.100 Meghan Trainor.

00:08:41.940 Oh, I love Meghan.

00:08:42.520 We love an M Train around here.

00:08:44.360 Yeah, yeah, she's great. 0.99

00:08:45.220 And she's been writing for other people for fucking years. 0.99

00:08:47.540 Yeah, she's great. 0.99

00:08:48.200 She was one of the early supporters too.

00:08:49.780 Yeah.

00:08:50.340 Yeah, she showed love matter. 1.00

00:08:51.580 I love her.

00:08:52.800 But she's also, she's got real like ethnic in her when it comes to her like, you know what I'm saying?

00:08:58.520 Like her vocalism. 0.98

00:08:59.640 Like her vocalization is just like, the way she sings, she's very harmony forward and shit. 0.98

00:09:03.500 And I feel like that's very common amongst minorities. 0.98

00:09:06.340 Like we do love a good harmony.

00:09:07.920 Yeah.

00:09:08.040 So I think that's beautiful and amazing.

00:09:11.160 And I also think it's really admirable that you're so committed to the craft of like, I'm just going to write as many as I can.

00:09:18.140 And then I'm going to be very selective about which ones I pick.

00:09:20.800 Like, does that process typically take you a long time?

00:09:22.940 Do you sometimes sit with two and you're like, oh, one of these is good.

00:09:26.720 One of these could be good too.

00:09:27.940 Yeah, I hate it.

00:09:28.780 Is that why you kind of shelf them too sometimes?

00:09:31.160 Yeah.

00:09:31.580 Or like shelf them or, I mean, I don't, I don't know.

00:09:35.620 It's just hard.

00:09:36.200 It's like, it's like, it's like choosing between chocolate cake and funnel cake.

00:09:39.200 Like I love both sometimes.

00:09:40.620 And I might like one later.

00:09:41.700 Yeah.

00:09:42.180 I might be in a different mood another time.

00:09:44.120 Yeah.

00:09:44.500 Have you ever written one that you're like, this is too personal.

00:09:46.600 I can't, I can't release that.

00:09:49.020 Do you write that way?

00:09:50.960 Everything's about my life.

00:09:52.080 Yeah. 1.00

00:09:52.380 But I've always been real forthright with my shit. 0.99

00:09:58.240 Yeah. 1.00

00:09:58.720 I've always been forthright with it.

00:09:59.940 So I've never really been like the one time that I thought about that.

00:10:03.020 I second guessed it and that I had to like talk to my family prior to it coming out.

00:10:06.860 So they didn't trip out was Gatekeeper.

00:10:08.400 And that was for other reasons.

00:10:09.820 Yeah.

00:10:10.120 Like, you know, it wasn't so much me concerned about how, how anyone involved would feel,

00:10:15.140 but more so about my parents being like, what?

00:10:19.500 What happened?

00:10:20.300 Yeah.

00:10:20.960 Like you're like, I just did an FYI before you hear it.

00:10:23.480 Yeah.

00:10:23.660 The worst case scenario didn't happen, but this is what happened.

00:10:26.820 Yeah.

00:10:27.320 Well, and when did you feel like you actually like, man, like, I think I'm kind of like

00:10:32.020 doing this.

00:10:32.500 Like, I think I could really do this for real.

00:10:34.060 Like where you feel like you made it.

00:10:36.220 I remember the specific, I was at, cause I remember I used to cross the border all the

00:10:40.480 time because I lived in Florida at one point and I was bartending there and still trying

00:10:45.480 to make shit happen in Toronto.

00:10:46.400 And I had built a bit of a beautiful musical community in Toronto. 0.98

00:10:48.880 So, so it felt like swimming in the deep end for hours in Florida, sometimes trying to

00:10:54.800 get, trying to get, make headway.

00:10:56.380 Yeah.

00:10:57.000 Um, so I would go back and forth a lot.

00:10:59.040 And then the remix project happened and I begged my bar manager to let me back home to audition 0.94

00:11:03.160 and shit. 0.60

00:11:03.560 So anyways, it was a lot of back and forth. 0.99

00:11:05.340 And even when I was at remix, I was lucky that I was living off tips that I had made while

00:11:09.380 I was bartending and being a bottle service girl.

00:11:12.340 There was, I had so many jobs.

00:11:13.620 Like I was a personal trainer.

00:11:14.760 I was a receptionist at a gym.

00:11:16.000 I like taught Zumba.

00:11:17.180 I was a lot.

00:11:18.040 Yeah.

00:11:19.240 Love that.

00:11:19.920 A lot.

00:11:20.440 I love a Zumba.

00:11:21.480 Yo.

00:11:21.780 You know who loves Zumba?

00:11:22.880 White women. 1.00

00:11:23.460 White women love Zumba. 0.94

00:11:24.020 They love a Zumba.

00:11:25.280 They love a Zumba.

00:11:26.480 Yeah.

00:11:26.760 You know what?

00:11:27.080 More power to you, queen.

00:11:27.980 Yeah.

00:11:28.500 Happy for you. 0.98

00:11:29.560 Uh, so I used to always just, I'd, I'd like alternate between whatever the fuck I told 0.99

00:11:35.060 them. 0.92

00:11:35.240 But I often, I would just be like a personal trainer, sometimes bartender. 0.99

00:11:38.640 But the more you tell them, the more they fucking ask. 0.95

00:11:40.380 So sometimes I would just leave it there. 0.99

00:11:42.040 Right?

00:11:42.260 Yeah.

00:11:42.680 And then one time I went and the guy was like, what do you do?

00:11:45.080 And I was like, I'm a musician.

00:11:48.680 I'm a musician.

00:11:50.080 Like I was able, it was, it was, it was, it was elite.

00:11:52.660 It was the first time that I wasn't working like a double, like multiple, multiple titles.

00:11:57.460 It was the first time that I was like, oh, this is my, this is my only source of income.

00:12:02.880 Yeah.

00:12:03.880 It was great. 0.97

00:12:04.560 That's fucking awesome. 0.96

00:12:05.680 Yeah. 0.93

00:12:05.860 It was nice.

00:12:06.180 The guy was probably like, okay.

00:12:08.180 Oh, aren't we all?

00:12:10.840 Me too.

00:12:13.220 Yeah.

00:12:13.620 Sometimes I have a very different reaction when I tell people what I do for a living.

00:12:17.840 It's rare that people don't know sometimes, but when I tell them now, like one time I

00:12:22.460 got asked, they're like, how would you describe what you do to old people?

00:12:25.780 Like to, well, they didn't say old people.

00:12:27.540 I said old people. 1.00

00:12:28.340 And I was like, well, people, if they ask me, I just go, honestly, I, cause I've said

00:12:33.240 I make videos on the internet and old people immediately think porn.

00:12:37.460 Yeah.

00:12:38.080 Old people immediately think porn. 1.00

00:12:39.480 Yeah.

00:12:39.820 Yeah.

00:12:40.140 And now looking back, I think like for rentals that I got denied of, I was like, hmm.

00:12:44.660 I don't know what I think about it.

00:12:45.580 Maybe it's the way I said it.

00:12:46.840 I don't know.

00:12:47.720 But, um, I tell people like, honestly, I make fun of awful men on the internet and then

00:12:53.080 they go, they pay you to do that?

00:12:54.400 That's a great tagline.

00:12:55.340 Yeah.

00:12:55.700 And then I go, yep.

00:12:56.760 And then they go, all right.

00:12:57.800 They just kind of give up.

00:12:58.720 Like they have no further questions.

00:13:00.180 They're like, okay.

00:13:01.520 Yeah.

00:13:01.960 And I think it's funny too, cause sometimes like I've told before, like my grandpa, he

00:13:06.600 still doesn't watch me.

00:13:07.700 Um, he tells me often he doesn't watch me and, um, he does have a TikTok.

00:13:11.240 So love that.

00:13:12.940 Um, and he's just always like, and I need that kind of energy in my life.

00:13:18.340 Yeah.

00:13:18.580 It's grounding.

00:13:19.140 I think, yeah, I need a, I need a humbling every now and then.

00:13:21.840 Yeah.

00:13:21.960 Yeah.

00:13:22.560 And also too, I will say a way that made me feel like I was actually doing something

00:13:26.940 with this was getting to care or getting to take care of my family.

00:13:31.160 Oof.

00:13:31.680 And I feel like you can relate to that.

00:13:33.640 A hundred percent.

00:13:34.180 You seem very family oriented.

00:13:35.580 Yeah.

00:13:35.700 I remember the first check I ever made off of like a really shitty publishing situation.

00:13:40.380 Like the first time I ever sold a song before Jeremiah was involved was, uh, a song running

00:13:45.660 camp in Toronto for a Netflix show for some kids show on Netflix.

00:13:49.600 What?

00:13:50.520 No, family channel.

00:13:51.720 Yeah.

00:13:51.900 It was something like that.

00:13:52.920 And it was, uh, it was 250 bucks.

00:13:55.460 Nice.

00:13:56.140 And I was exactly, I was like, yes.

00:13:58.500 And I went home and it was the first time I showed my folks a check for music and they

00:14:01.920 were like, huh?

00:14:02.840 And then I bought groceries and they were like, huh?

00:14:05.480 And it was just, it was great.

00:14:06.860 It's so funny to have those like little, little bookmarks.

00:14:10.040 Right.

00:14:10.460 And you never forget them either.

00:14:11.800 Especially when you grew up with nothing.

00:14:13.000 Like I, the first check I ever got, I think was like 75 bucks and it was for like something 1.00

00:14:17.580 fucking stupid. 0.99

00:14:18.240 I don't even remember. 1.00

00:14:19.240 And I remember when I got it, I was like, oh my God.

00:14:21.880 And I was unemployed at the time.

00:14:23.160 So that was a million dollars to me.

00:14:24.500 And I was like, yes, I'm going to hold on to this forever.

00:14:26.960 I'm going to hold on to this so desperately. 0.95

00:14:28.720 But I think that's fucking awesome. 0.93

00:14:30.060 And I love that your family, how supportive was your family of you as a vocalist? 0.94

00:14:33.720 Which, like, did they know you could sing?

00:14:36.400 I mean, I sang all the time.

00:14:37.640 Yeah.

00:14:38.020 I would like do shows for my family.

00:14:39.620 I'd never shut up in the shower and outside the shower.

00:14:42.140 It was a lot.

00:14:42.820 Love.

00:14:43.400 But they were worried.

00:14:44.680 Yeah.

00:14:45.100 And my brother's like a scientist, a very smart man, works at university.

00:14:48.660 Like he's, he's, we're starkly different.

00:14:51.480 Your brother's a scientist?

00:14:52.720 Yeah.

00:14:52.960 That's crazy.

00:14:53.620 Yeah, yeah.

00:14:53.920 And teaches and stuff too.

00:14:54.980 So it's like.

00:14:55.240 That's cool.

00:14:55.680 It's cool.

00:14:56.200 But they, then I came along and I, to say I hate school is like kind, you know?

00:15:03.680 It's putting it like gently.

00:15:04.980 It's putting it lightly.

00:15:05.480 Yeah.

00:15:06.160 And it's just never been for me.

00:15:08.800 Institution, like it's just never been for me.

00:15:10.700 Yeah.

00:15:11.160 And the first time, actually there's one teacher in my life that I like always acknowledge and

00:15:16.880 say thank you to.

00:15:17.520 I like gave her a shout out in my poetry book because it was the only time I ever got a call

00:15:21.000 home, a positive call home from a teacher was her.

00:15:24.020 Oh, I love that.

00:15:24.800 Yeah.

00:15:25.160 And she called.

00:15:26.020 That's so sweet.

00:15:26.600 She didn't know until I told her why it was so.

00:15:30.800 Like impactful.

00:15:31.920 It's why it was so impactful is because my house only spoke Spanish.

00:15:35.220 My parents would help me with homework, but like mainly with like things that were universal,

00:15:38.580 like math and like, you know what I mean?

00:15:40.500 But English, not really.

00:15:42.380 Yeah.

00:15:42.520 Because we didn't really, you know, it's not the element.

00:15:44.240 Yeah.

00:15:45.160 And so the fact that she called to be like, yo, your daughter's skilled and because we're

00:15:48.680 doing poetry and she noticed it and she was like, your daughter's

00:15:50.740 skilled and that it meant so much because they wouldn't, they wouldn't have noticed

00:15:53.780 that at home.

00:15:54.340 Yeah.

00:15:54.580 They wouldn't have known that.

00:15:55.560 Yeah.

00:15:55.800 You know?

00:15:56.300 And if I, if I were to tell them, they'd be like, no, okay.

00:15:59.960 Let's focus on math.

00:16:01.060 Let's focus on math.

00:16:01.940 Yeah.

00:16:02.220 So it was sweet that, that, that, that, uh, she was able to, to vocalize that and have

00:16:07.480 it be heard.

00:16:08.440 Yeah.

00:16:08.940 But they were nervous.

00:16:10.780 They were nervous.

00:16:12.360 So the first time I started making money, I know they were like, okay, great.

00:16:15.220 And my mom's so sweet.

00:16:16.600 My mom's like, my mom's like the neighborhood mom.

00:16:19.060 Like, you know, even on the tour, like the tour bus, everyone calls her mom.

00:16:22.480 Yeah.

00:16:22.860 She's that.

00:16:23.360 My mom too.

00:16:24.760 It's the best.

00:16:25.920 But I say that to like preface this story because she, she one day hit me and she like 0.89

00:16:32.460 a pot crazy.

00:16:34.080 She wanted to apologize for something she said to me when I was like 24 and I was at it.

00:16:40.440 I was like out grinding, grinding.

00:16:43.120 Like I've never been, the hustle in me is different.

00:16:45.940 The dog in me is different and it's just, I've always been that way.

00:16:49.540 And she saw how hard I was working, but she saw that I wasn't really, I wasn't getting,

00:16:54.180 reaping any fruits yet.

00:16:55.500 And she says that she was like, honey, like me, huh?

00:16:58.420 Listen, like maybe this isn't for you.

00:17:00.440 Like maybe, maybe it's not God's plan.

00:17:02.520 Like she's very spiritual too.

00:17:03.600 So maybe she was like, maybe we have to be open to something else.

00:17:05.860 And I was like, okay, I'm like, give me another year.

00:17:08.340 I'm like, I'm going to give it another year and we'll see how it goes. 0.99

00:17:10.360 And then that year shit started fucking popping off and she, the craziest thing is that she 1.00

00:17:15.700 said this to me and I'm, and she looked so serious and so like it was, it was something 0.99

00:17:21.620 that weighed on her.

00:17:22.360 And I was like, ma, I don't even remember.

00:17:24.800 Yeah.

00:17:25.300 I don't even remember.

00:17:25.920 That's how, that's how much support and love and like presence and kindness she's always

00:17:31.960 just offered me that it didn't even, it didn't even make a sound.

00:17:35.920 Yeah.

00:17:36.460 Like I didn't even retain it.

00:17:37.680 Yeah.

00:17:37.920 Especially cause of the way she told you to, it's just, it's just out of love and like

00:17:42.100 care.

00:17:42.580 Like she wants to make sure you're, you're good and you're taken care of.

00:17:44.960 Exactly.

00:17:45.480 Yeah.

00:17:45.580 So it wasn't cause she thought you couldn't do it.

00:17:47.240 It's because she's like, sometimes the world works against people like us and maybe this

00:17:51.760 isn't in the, in the stars for you.

00:17:54.280 Yeah. 0.96

00:17:54.500 But I think you, you putting a timeline on it is so fucking real too.

00:17:57.940 Cause I, when I started doing this for a living, I like really didn't see much in it 0.51

00:18:02.580 at first.

00:18:03.040 So I was kind of like, well, I'm like a hundred in Tik TOK here.

00:18:05.700 So I doubt like I can be a Tik TOK jokes on me. 1.00

00:18:08.440 Uh, but I was literally like, I don't know about that.

00:18:10.960 And then when it started really like building, I was unemployed at the time cause I'd gotten 0.58

00:18:15.460 fucking fired before I started. 0.91

00:18:17.240 Oh, you've been fired too. 1.00

00:18:18.220 Perfect.

00:18:18.620 Hell yeah, girl. 1.00

00:18:19.360 Yeah.

00:18:19.540 You know, what's funny is like when I look back, I've been fired more than once.

00:18:23.020 I thought I only been fired once, but like the other time was when I, the one time I

00:18:27.700 was a server in college, that's one of the worst jobs in the world.

00:18:31.020 Like waiters, waitresses, like God's soldiers for real.

00:18:35.560 Like, and I remember after like working there for like two weeks, I was like, yeah, I got

00:18:40.520 to find another job.

00:18:41.420 Like I'm not nearly like, what's the word? 0.99

00:18:44.720 Cause I'm not rude, but like, I don't have the politeness in me to eat shit for very long. 0.95

00:18:50.000 So I was like, yeah, your bandwidth, like, no. 0.98

00:18:52.760 Yeah.

00:18:52.920 I was like, given my tongue.

00:18:54.420 Yeah. 1.00

00:18:54.560 I need to get out of this fucking job. 1.00

00:18:55.980 Like, and it, the guy that when my manager fired me, it was actually kind of fucked up 0.99

00:19:00.780 cause he had me train my replacement, which I didn't know he was my replacement.

00:19:05.420 And my replacement kept leaving in the middle of the shift to go smoke meth in the bathroom.

00:19:08.540 So, and that's not, and that's not hyperbole.

00:19:11.320 I'm being dead serious.

00:19:11.960 Like I, I, at one point followed him and I heard him like, and then it was going like 0.96

00:19:17.560 like that fucking breaking bad in the bathroom. 0.94

00:19:20.120 I said, Oh, and so I'm covering all his tables and then I, my manager's like, Oh, let's talk 0.98

00:19:25.000 after the shift.

00:19:25.680 And I'm like, he wants to hear about the meth head.

00:19:27.700 Okay.

00:19:28.280 So as we're walking out, I go bad news.

00:19:30.180 Think he's on meth.

00:19:31.120 And then he goes, stop right there.

00:19:33.140 Um, so we're letting you go.

00:19:35.340 And I go, Oh, well, and I didn't even get to the meth.

00:19:40.160 Didn't even get to tell him.

00:19:41.340 Um, bummer.

00:19:42.600 And I remember he just told me like, you don't, you're not taking your waitressing jobs.

00:19:47.700 Like if you want to move up in the restaurant business, I said, pause, I use this money to

00:19:53.140 buy beer. 1.00

00:19:54.300 Like, fuck you mean move up in the restaurant business girl. 1.00

00:19:57.120 What are you talking about? 1.00

00:19:58.020 Like, I'm not trying to be a restaurant tour. 0.98

00:20:00.200 I'm not fucking car me. 0.99

00:20:02.180 I'm here to get fucked up money. 0.99

00:20:04.280 Like that's what I need. 0.99

00:20:05.220 I would literally leave work and I would take the bus home and I would walk across the

00:20:09.480 street and I would go and I would buy like a 32 pack, like two 32 packs.

00:20:13.000 Mind you do as I say, not as I do.

00:20:15.920 I was underage at the time, but I was using my sister's ID.

00:20:19.360 So I was like, yeah, I'm five, four.

00:20:21.020 No, for sure.

00:20:21.440 That's me.

00:20:22.200 Five, four, one 12.

00:20:23.200 Yeah, that's me king.

00:20:24.580 And I would buy two 32 packs and I would stop on like the third stop was my friend's

00:20:28.860 house. 1.00

00:20:29.080 Get off, go get fucked up. 1.00

00:20:30.260 That's what I was doing the waitressing job. 1.00

00:20:31.820 And he wanted you to take it serious.

00:20:33.240 Yeah.

00:20:33.320 He wanted me to move up in the business.

00:20:35.140 I'm good.

00:20:35.640 But, uh, he fired me right then and there.

00:20:38.620 Um, and then the meth head replaced me.

00:20:40.580 And I remember like two days later he called me and was like, Oh, are you not coming in

00:20:45.900 for your shift?

00:20:46.720 And I go, what?

00:20:48.280 Didn't you fire me two days ago?

00:20:49.800 And he goes, no, I put you on call.

00:20:51.280 And I go, that's not what you said when you fired me.

00:20:54.220 That's not needed.

00:20:55.220 He got caught between a rock and a heartbreak.

00:20:56.740 Yeah.

00:20:57.660 Not the back pedal.

00:20:58.900 Right.

00:20:59.140 And how dare my girlfriend who was waitressing at the time there too. 0.99

00:21:02.140 She told me the realty and she told me that the meth head was working my shift and then

00:21:07.160 left in the middle of it and they couldn't find him.

00:21:09.540 And then when they did find him, he was sitting in the freezer eating a dessert.

00:21:12.880 Like he was plating a dessert for a table instead decided to sit down and eat it.

00:21:17.460 So he was in the freezer doing that.

00:21:19.560 And like the one cardinal rule, I remember this at that restaurant was you could not eat

00:21:24.060 the desserts. 0.98

00:21:24.700 I don't know what it was about the dessert, but they were like, don't you fucking dare touch 0.98

00:21:29.280 the desserts. 0.95

00:21:29.960 And they weren't even that good in my opinion, but he was sitting there just eating it.

00:21:34.260 Like he was just at home.

00:21:35.920 He's just sitting there like, and they're like, Hey, um, so then he just called me and

00:21:41.080 started talking to me. 0.98

00:21:41.860 Like he never fucking fired me. 0.99

00:21:43.280 And I was like, by the way, he's on meth. 0.99

00:21:44.700 Click.

00:21:45.160 No way.

00:21:46.100 Yeah.

00:21:46.460 I was like, well, I guess I'm hanging up my apron for good.

00:21:49.260 I guess waitressing is not in my future.

00:21:51.400 That's not in God's plan for me is to be a waitress.

00:21:53.780 What's the worst job you've had?

00:21:54.880 It sounds like you've had a million.

00:21:56.580 The worst.

00:21:57.660 For whatever reason.

00:21:59.960 My boyfriend was a personal trainer for a long time. 0.99

00:22:02.080 No shit. 0.99

00:22:02.760 Yeah. 1.00

00:22:04.040 Fuck. 1.00

00:22:04.520 And that one's crazy too. 1.00

00:22:07.600 What's that?

00:22:08.440 It's like Canadian Publix.

00:22:10.260 Oh, okay.

00:22:10.980 So grocery store.

00:22:12.060 Were you just like cashier or the cashier?

00:22:14.940 Why was that one so terrible?

00:22:16.220 Cause it was just so monotonous, man.

00:22:18.280 And I tried to make the best of it. 0.97

00:22:19.660 Like I would just like write songs on receipts and shit. 0.94

00:22:22.860 But I like, I've been fired more than, more than twice, more than three times, more than 0.98

00:22:28.840 four.

00:22:29.740 Really?

00:22:30.300 Yeah.

00:22:30.700 Just cause?

00:22:31.640 Just.

00:22:32.660 What's the story you tell yourself?

00:22:33.840 I tell myself I was just too funny for that job.

00:22:35.680 Clearly.

00:22:36.180 Oh my God.

00:22:38.280 Clearly I was just far too entertaining and they can't handle it.

00:22:41.520 So.

00:22:41.860 I was too honest.

00:22:43.060 Yeah?

00:22:43.580 Yeah.

00:22:43.880 I was too honest.

00:22:44.840 To like upper level management or coworkers.

00:22:47.060 Everybody got it.

00:22:47.980 Everybody got it.

00:22:48.640 Everyone's getting hit.

00:22:49.900 Sorry.

00:22:50.820 Everyone's doing it.

00:22:51.580 Sorry.

00:22:52.200 Nobody's safe, man.

00:22:54.180 What would you be honest about?

00:22:55.880 Like.

00:22:56.800 Okay.

00:22:57.320 So the.

00:22:57.940 So the one.

00:22:59.200 I had dance like three times a week and it was in. 0.99

00:23:01.740 It was far as fuck. 0.99

00:23:03.240 So. 0.99

00:23:04.400 I had those days like blocked off and then dance got canceled or something. 0.99

00:23:08.840 And so then I could have gone into work, but I was like, fuck that. 0.98

00:23:11.180 I'm not coming in. 1.00

00:23:12.460 The fuck. 1.00

00:23:13.300 So I didn't. 1.00

00:23:13.960 But then I got hungry.

00:23:14.760 And let me like you're when you're that young.

00:23:18.400 And your frontal lobe is not developed.

00:23:20.360 So you don't make the smartest decision.

00:23:22.100 So I didn't make a smart decision.

00:23:23.760 And then it was the closest door to my house. 1.00

00:23:25.480 I was like, fuck it. 1.00

00:23:26.280 I'm going. 1.00

00:23:26.880 You're crazy, dude. 1.00

00:23:28.100 Yeah. 1.00

00:23:28.500 Calling out of work and showing up at work.

00:23:30.240 But as a patron.

00:23:31.220 Yeah.

00:23:31.540 But I was like, how can I get in and out quick?

00:23:33.620 And I was like, I know.

00:23:35.360 Rollerblades.

00:23:37.040 Rollerblades will get me in and out of there quick.

00:23:39.180 Like that way.

00:23:39.600 No one.

00:23:40.040 Are you being serious, Jessie? 1.00

00:23:41.120 I'm dead ass. 1.00

00:23:42.080 I'm dead ass. 1.00

00:23:42.820 I was like 16. 1.00

00:23:43.800 So I was like, fuck it. 1.00

00:23:44.540 Rollerblades. 1.00

00:23:44.980 Got some snacks.

00:23:45.640 Like went to the like the quick the quick cashier.

00:23:48.820 Anyways, I got a call later that night and it was the boss.

00:23:51.180 And she was like, it doesn't really seem like you want to work here.

00:23:53.780 And I was like, you're right.

00:23:55.080 She was like, well, I don't.

00:23:56.560 Yeah.

00:23:56.760 Obviously.

00:23:57.500 Yeah.

00:23:57.880 She's like.

00:23:58.820 And then that was the end of that job.

00:24:00.640 Yeah.

00:24:00.820 I would have fired you, too.

00:24:01.640 I'll be honest.

00:24:02.320 That's fair.

00:24:02.780 If I saw you.

00:24:03.500 If I saw you coming in on a day off and you're in rollerblades, you're fired.

00:24:06.960 Yeah.

00:24:07.120 Sorry.

00:24:07.480 Yeah.

00:24:07.820 No, that's fair.

00:24:08.480 Sorry.

00:24:08.860 Clearly you think I'm a joke in this.

00:24:12.460 Which I don't blame you for, especially at 16.

00:24:15.080 Like when I was working at the restaurant, I think I was like probably 19, 20. 0.98

00:24:20.400 And I remember like I didn't take that shit serious either. 0.97

00:24:23.580 I mean, I was good at my job, but it's also like it's it's a job. 0.98

00:24:27.580 You know what I mean?

00:24:28.020 It's not it's and I remember, too, the reason why he fired me was because he said, like,

00:24:32.980 I wasn't taking it seriously, obviously.

00:24:34.440 And it's because he was trying to convince me to stay there and continue waitressing through

00:24:39.800 the holiday, which was like, I'm not.

00:24:42.120 Yeah.

00:24:42.380 He's like, you could.

00:24:43.320 Dying to do it.

00:24:43.960 He's like, well, I have a couple shifts on like Christmas Eve and stuff.

00:24:46.520 And I was like, Christmas Eve.

00:24:49.080 Yeah.

00:24:49.920 Yeah.

00:24:50.160 Girl, I will not be here on Christmas Eve. 0.99

00:24:52.100 What the fuck? 0.99

00:24:52.740 I was like, oh, no, I'm going home like for school. 1.00

00:24:55.220 And I had another job, too, at the time.

00:24:56.980 And so he was like, you have to take more shifts if you want to take this seriously.

00:25:00.340 I'm like, when I got hired, I told you I can work Monday, Wednesday, Fridays.

00:25:03.840 I told you that.

00:25:04.740 And you said yes.

00:25:05.900 And now you're trying to pressure me into taking more shifts.

00:25:07.580 And I can't.

00:25:08.360 So I was like, I literally just can't.

00:25:09.540 And I had a full class load and everything, too.

00:25:11.220 You're in school, too. 1.00

00:25:12.100 Fuck. 1.00

00:25:12.480 Yeah. 1.00

00:25:12.660 I was like I was taking like 24 credits and I had two jobs.

00:25:15.220 So I was like, I don't think in the bus.

00:25:17.400 Give me a break.

00:25:18.480 And when I went, it was like a nighttime restaurant.

00:25:20.700 So it would open at like, I think first dine in would be like 6 p.m.

00:25:26.160 But I would have to go in at 3 and I would have to build the salad bar.

00:25:31.120 Like prep.

00:25:31.480 Yeah.

00:25:31.860 Prep and do all the prep and stuff. 0.99

00:25:33.400 But I was doing it by my fucking self. 0.99

00:25:34.960 And I would have to carry these two big ass buckets of like ice that would go to the freezer 1.00

00:25:39.600 far as hell. 0.88

00:25:40.460 Carry both of them back at least six times to fill that whole thing. 0.58

00:25:43.260 That was the worst job?

00:25:44.220 Yeah.

00:25:44.660 That was one of the worst jobs I ever had.

00:25:46.080 Let me think.

00:25:47.460 I really had to think.

00:25:48.560 Like, I mean, I used to babysit all the time too.

00:25:51.080 I used to babysit too.

00:25:51.960 And I didn't mind that job. 1.00

00:25:53.320 But one time I babysit a kid that was so awful that I was like, yeah, I can't do this shit 0.99

00:25:56.920 anymore. 0.99

00:25:57.480 What did he do?

00:25:58.540 He just would not stop crying.

00:25:59.900 Like, and he was a baby.

00:26:01.520 He was probably like two, one or two.

00:26:04.120 And he had an older brother that my sister was like kind of watching him because he was

00:26:08.580 around the same age as my brother.

00:26:09.860 And I was holding the baby.

00:26:11.160 I couldn't put him down.

00:26:12.560 I couldn't lay him down.

00:26:13.460 I couldn't feed him.

00:26:14.700 Scream cried for 12 hours straight.

00:26:16.360 Like, and I, every time I sat down, it would get louder.

00:26:19.520 So I just had to keep walking in circles and it was horrifying.

00:26:22.480 And he was allergic to everything.

00:26:24.760 The mom left and goes, by the way, he's allergic to wool and peanuts and this and that, and

00:26:29.620 also this and also that.

00:26:30.720 But there's an EpiPen right there.

00:26:32.020 Have a nice night.

00:26:33.540 Okay.

00:26:33.940 Have a nice night.

00:26:34.720 And she left.

00:26:35.360 I know.

00:26:36.100 Yeah.

00:26:36.540 And then I was like, this is the worst job in the world.

00:26:39.820 I don't know.

00:26:40.640 Customer service is not for the week though.

00:26:42.040 It's not for the week.

00:26:42.960 Like at all.

00:26:43.660 I don't know how people do it.

00:26:45.760 I mean, especially like baristas or anything like that.

00:26:48.020 It's a lot.

00:26:48.620 What?

00:26:49.040 Oh my God.

00:26:53.200 It's just, it's, that was the worst one.

00:26:56.080 But then like, it's both ways. 1.00

00:26:58.240 It's the, it's when you work with idiots. 1.00

00:27:02.160 You're like, is everyone the dumbest person alive? 1.00

00:27:04.460 Or am I tripping? 1.00

00:27:05.140 Or is it me? 1.00

00:27:05.900 That makes you, it's so dumb that you start to question yourself. 1.00

00:27:08.840 It's sometimes like, what the fuck? 1.00

00:27:11.200 I feel that. 0.99

00:27:11.940 Yeah.

00:27:12.500 Sometimes it's, sometimes it's that wild, but.

00:27:15.440 Oh my God.

00:27:16.260 I had this one lady with this job. 1.00

00:27:17.880 I loved.

00:27:18.480 I worked.

00:27:19.360 And I was like 14 to 18, which is like, it's like a water park.

00:27:23.180 It's a water park.

00:27:23.780 Yeah.

00:27:23.980 In Toronto.

00:27:24.860 Lit, lit place.

00:27:26.080 And I got it.

00:27:26.800 I think I had just turned 14.

00:27:28.120 I'm 13, 14.

00:27:29.980 That's young as hell.

00:27:30.900 Young as hell.

00:27:31.540 I don't know.

00:27:31.940 I was at it.

00:27:33.000 And you know what?

00:27:33.780 Responsible for people's lives.

00:27:34.860 Love that.

00:27:35.320 No, no, no, no.

00:27:35.980 I'm just kidding.

00:27:36.940 I was, I was the cashier at the water park.

00:27:38.860 Okay.

00:27:39.080 I was working at like the pizza pizza and like mainly there was a funnel cake next to

00:27:43.680 the pizza pizza and I'd get free funnel cakes, free access to the water park and free funnel

00:27:47.700 cakes.

00:27:48.040 I was like, perfect.

00:27:48.860 I love it here.

00:27:49.760 And the managers loved me off.

00:27:51.260 Shout out Eric.

00:27:51.820 Shout out Brian.

00:27:52.340 They were so great to me.

00:27:53.440 Like, I love them.

00:27:54.620 We stayed friends.

00:27:55.160 When I started cheerleading for the CFL, which is like the Canadian NFL.

00:27:58.100 I know about the CFL.

00:27:59.140 Yeah. 0.99

00:27:59.400 I'd give them tickets and shit. 0.99

00:28:00.660 They'd come. 0.98

00:28:01.140 So we stayed friends even after.

00:28:02.540 Oh, I love that.

00:28:02.860 Yeah.

00:28:03.040 They're great.

00:28:04.240 Once I was there, I think I was like the second year working there.

00:28:06.740 So I was like 15, I think. 0.99

00:28:08.380 And this fucking lady, this fucking lady, I was at, I was, oh my God, I was working 1.00

00:28:14.580 and she's with her fucking like children that were like fucking yapping and she's trying 1.00

00:28:20.220 to control them, but also order. 1.00

00:28:22.360 I get it.

00:28:22.760 You're stressed.

00:28:23.240 Whatever.

00:28:23.600 Yeah. 0.99

00:28:24.000 She's ordering some shit and she's like, yeah, this, this, this. 0.99

00:28:26.640 And I was like, okay. 0.99

00:28:27.260 And then she takes her money and she throws it. 1.00

00:28:30.480 Ooh.

00:28:31.040 Yeah.

00:28:31.260 She throws it. 0.93

00:28:32.260 At you?

00:28:32.860 At me.

00:28:33.620 Like not at, but like on the, towards me.

00:28:36.160 Yeah.

00:28:36.600 But like if I was closer, it would have hit me, but it hit the, it hit the counter.

00:28:40.620 Yeah. 0.99

00:28:41.100 And I look at the money and I'm like, does this bitch just throw money at me? 1.00

00:28:44.060 And I look up at her and I'm like, and I'm trying to, I'm trying to hold it in. 0.99

00:28:48.740 Yeah.

00:28:49.600 Oh, I take the money.

00:28:51.200 I take the change and I feel it happening.

00:28:53.060 And I'm like, don't do it.

00:28:54.380 Yeah.

00:28:54.560 Right.

00:28:54.980 There's no stopping this.

00:28:56.000 This is like a train.

00:28:56.920 This is done.

00:28:57.600 So I take the change and I'm like, and I throw it, I throw it back.

00:29:01.360 Cause she threw it at me and I'm 15 and petty.

00:29:03.320 Like, hello.

00:29:04.320 Yeah.

00:29:04.580 So I throw it back to her.

00:29:06.080 This lady looks up and she's like, sees red, starts going off. 1.00

00:29:10.420 And I'm like, see red, start going off.

00:29:13.060 Now we're arguing at each other over the counter.

00:29:15.480 And then, and then she starts climbing on the counter. 0.98

00:29:19.340 Oh.

00:29:19.920 And I'm like, she's arguing down at me.

00:29:22.380 And I'm like, I'm popping off. 1.00

00:29:23.740 I'm like, this fuck, whatever. 1.00

00:29:25.420 Everyone's yelling. 1.00

00:29:26.200 And she's coming.

00:29:26.960 She's significantly bigger than me.

00:29:28.400 Okay.

00:29:29.420 Significantly bigger than me.

00:29:31.760 I have to say this for you to, to justify what's about to happen next.

00:29:35.740 She was significantly bigger than me.

00:29:38.020 I was going to say. 0.99

00:29:39.100 So I back up and I'm like, oh, this fucking lady's about to fucking like the wrestling move. 1.00

00:29:43.400 What the fuck is it called? 0.99

00:29:44.380 And they like, you know, like from the top rope. 0.99

00:29:46.500 From the top rope. 1.00

00:29:46.980 Damn. 1.00

00:29:47.540 Sick. 1.00

00:29:47.700 This lady's about to. 1.00

00:29:48.280 So I reach back because this is the, I was working the funnel cake spot that day.

00:29:52.040 Cause you could switch.

00:29:53.120 So the little, the little fryer is right here with the frying thing.

00:29:57.480 Nice.

00:29:58.320 Cause she was like, she was coming at me. 1.00

00:29:59.940 Don't who this, this is self-defense.

00:30:02.200 She's all in the advice from my lawyer.

00:30:04.400 This is what happened next.

00:30:05.860 Anyways.

00:30:06.940 Okay.

00:30:07.340 So I grabbed the thing and I, and I, and I take it out and then she jumps down and I'm

00:30:11.440 going, and then everyone was able to stop it before it escalated.

00:30:13.880 Okay.

00:30:14.120 Cause then they all pulled her back and then they pulled me back and then they got her 1.00

00:30:16.720 over the counter.

00:30:17.540 And the craziest thing was watching her carry on like nothing. 1.00

00:30:20.600 She grabbed her fucking funnel cake and, and carried on with her kids. 1.00

00:30:24.060 She's like, that's crazy. 1.00

00:30:26.980 Yeah.

00:30:27.220 And I'm like, anyways, yeah.

00:30:28.720 And now there's like, it's crazy. 0.97

00:30:30.320 And there's oil and shit on the floor and I'm like shaking. 0.99

00:30:33.520 Cause I, I thought I was about to have to like fucking defend the shit out of myself. 0.99

00:30:36.640 Cause she was like over a foot bigger than me, man. 0.99

00:30:38.880 And like, there was just, I had no choice.

00:30:41.260 Yeah.

00:30:41.520 I had no choice.

00:30:42.980 And so my back was against the wall.

00:30:44.620 My back was against the wall. 0.99

00:30:45.740 And then, and then the managers come on and they're like, Jesse, what the fuck? 0.99

00:30:48.920 And I'm like, I had no choice. 0.99

00:30:50.860 My back was against the wall.

00:30:51.820 And they're like, Oh, come on.

00:30:53.020 Like, I can't believe this.

00:30:54.040 Like I've been working there for a year.

00:30:55.400 They're like, you're such a good employee.

00:30:56.800 Like what the hell?

00:30:57.600 I've been friends with people there.

00:30:58.760 Like people love me off.

00:31:00.300 I was a favorite and it was great.

00:31:01.920 And they're just like disappointed.

00:31:03.100 And they're walking me to their office.

00:31:04.580 They're like, come on.

00:31:05.240 And they like take me to the back office.

00:31:06.880 And they're like, we can't believe.

00:31:08.220 And they shut the door.

00:31:09.000 They're like, so what happened?

00:31:10.000 They're like, I'm going to give her a stern talking to.

00:31:13.960 Yeah, that's exactly what happened.

00:31:15.080 Don't you worry.

00:31:15.640 And then I sat in there and they're cackling when I tell them the story.

00:31:18.660 And they're like, okay, well, like they're like, just take the day.

00:31:20.720 Come back tomorrow.

00:31:21.320 And I was like, all right, cool.

00:31:22.760 And I came back.

00:31:23.940 Well, that's good that you had supportive managers.

00:31:25.760 That's rare, especially in customer service.

00:31:28.120 Yeah. 0.98

00:31:28.320 Those guys were fucking great. 0.69

00:31:29.780 I love them. 0.93

00:31:30.600 They were, they were really, really cool.

00:31:31.720 And I worked with good people at that spot for four years.

00:31:33.800 That's why I stayed for four years. 0.99

00:31:35.560 Damn, that is a long ass time. 0.99

00:31:36.960 But that's good though. 0.99

00:31:38.000 Yeah.

00:31:38.260 That's good though.

00:31:38.780 Cause then you have a, like a good job, but you also are surrounded by people who like

00:31:42.040 support you and care about you. 0.98

00:31:43.580 It's like when they don't care about your fucking livelihood when you're working for them. 0.99

00:31:47.440 Yeah. 1.00

00:31:47.800 They're the worst managers in the world. 0.99

00:31:49.220 The worst. 0.99

00:31:49.580 Yeah.

00:31:49.760 And I even, um, I was thinking about like, too, like what's another terrible job I've

00:31:53.280 had, but one of them was being a character.

00:31:55.340 Like I was right out of college.

00:31:56.640 I was, I was fucking, I, I say this very loosely, but I was like dressing as Moana and being 0.92

00:32:02.700 hired for birthday parties. 0.93

00:32:03.700 I don't know what you call that.

00:32:04.440 Like a character person.

00:32:05.560 I figured lean into a skid, you know, everyone was like, you know, you know, 0.99

00:32:08.760 you look like, yeah, I know Moana cause I'm the first brown bitch you've ever seen. 1.00

00:32:12.140 That's not Mexican. 1.00

00:32:13.220 Right. 0.88

00:32:13.720 I'll be the biggest Mexican alive.

00:32:15.400 And so I was like, sure.

00:32:16.620 Why not?

00:32:17.160 Um, cause I don't want to get a real job.

00:32:18.780 So I guess I'll like cosplay and can I sing?

00:32:22.460 No, not even a little bit.

00:32:23.960 So my thing was just more so dancing.

00:32:26.420 I was like, well, let's teach the kids a hula.

00:32:28.640 That's one of the worst jobs I've ever had because, and not because of the children.

00:32:32.180 Honestly, the kids are like wonderful.

00:32:33.460 Like they're so sweet and they, they think you're really her. 1.00

00:32:36.200 And that's like, you know, stupid kids. 1.00

00:32:38.680 I'm not her. 1.00

00:32:39.900 She doesn't exist.

00:32:41.340 Um, no, but they were fantastic.

00:32:42.820 And the moms were so sweet too.

00:32:44.560 It was dads. 1.00

00:32:45.960 Like dads were fucking creepy. 0.99

00:32:48.120 And I don't, you've seen me on TikTok. 0.99

00:32:50.920 I don't have it in me.

00:32:52.580 I did two birthday parties.

00:32:54.220 Quit.

00:32:54.620 Can't do it anymore. 0.99

00:32:55.600 Fucking sorry. 0.99

00:32:56.440 And like the way that grown ass men, like when I say grown, grown men, like in their 0.99

00:33:01.420 forties, fifties, sixties, they're with their wives and their children. 0.99

00:33:05.120 There's no, there's no, they like wait till you're alone and then they'll make suggestive

00:33:10.980 jokes while you're talking to children. 1.00

00:33:12.680 Like it's fucking disgusting. 0.99

00:33:14.520 I can't even imagine how it happens when they're like, when they look good. 0.99

00:33:17.820 Cause like, to be fair, my costume wasn't that great.

00:33:20.660 I'll be honest.

00:33:21.480 So I barely look like her for being honest.

00:33:24.140 So I can't even imagine.

00:33:25.220 And also she's supposed to be a child.

00:33:27.320 Like she's supposed to be a child.

00:33:30.080 So, and I had, um, one dad, like the first party I ever worked, uh, the kids were so sweet

00:33:36.560 and so kind and like, they were so excited.

00:33:38.540 And I was like talking to all of them.

00:33:41.420 And I remember that one boy was with, he was like, my dad wants to ask you a question.

00:33:47.120 And I was like, okay, where is he?

00:33:51.000 And then he says, he keeps making suggestive jokes about like the, or that I had.

00:33:55.420 And like, it's like pissing me off.

00:33:57.680 It's getting me more mad as I'm getting mad again, thinking about like reliving the memory.

00:34:01.140 Um, but he was like, what if I, what if I wanted to call you Moana?

00:34:05.300 Like, what if I wanted to call you?

00:34:06.880 Like, what kind of nut, what's your, what number would you give me?

00:34:10.000 And then he had his kid ask me twice.

00:34:12.260 And then I go, and then he goes, I said, call me.

00:34:15.040 And then he goes, yeah, like, I think on the cell phone, I have no clue.

00:34:19.040 Maybe either way.

00:34:20.460 I know he had a wedding ring on.

00:34:21.960 So, you know, and then he's like, how would I go when he sent his son to me?

00:34:26.380 And he was like, oh, like my dad wants to know, like, how would he get ahold of you?

00:34:29.940 Like on the cell phone, I go cell phone.

00:34:31.700 I don't know what those are.

00:34:32.480 I live on an Island anyways, time to go guys.

00:34:34.960 Let's go learn. 0.98

00:34:35.660 Like, I just kept making shit up to try and like deflect them, but to send your child to 1.00

00:34:39.440 me, you're a fucking sicko. 1.00

00:34:41.260 When you have your wedding ring on. 1.00

00:34:42.760 Yeah, girl. 0.99

00:34:43.520 Like I was literally, when I was watching it unfold, I was like, oh yeah, this isn't the

00:34:47.540 job for me either.

00:34:48.540 Unless you guys want to watch Moana get active, like with these. 0.99

00:34:53.060 Yeah, no, I'm going to, I'm going to ruin the fucking party for everyone. 0.98

00:34:55.460 If one more dad talks to me, I want to make this a very memorable children's birthday. 0.99

00:34:59.940 For everybody involved, including your child.

00:35:02.000 And I remember the last party I worked, I had just started dating my now fiance and I had

00:35:09.500 told him like that I had a party to do. 0.99

00:35:11.920 And I was like telling him how men are so fucking weird and creepy. 0.97

00:35:14.840 And so he came with me and then was like standing next to me the entire, like hovering around 0.99

00:35:19.940 me like that, like a fucking Roomba. 0.96

00:35:21.760 And I was like, see, he shouldn't have to do that in order for men to like respect, not 0.99

00:35:26.520 be fucking weird. 0.83

00:35:27.360 Like, Hey, time and place. 1.00

00:35:28.640 Like we're not at a fucking strip club. 1.00

00:35:30.240 This is a lawn of your like wife's house. 1.00

00:35:34.240 Like this is just not the time or place.

00:35:36.080 So that's probably one of the worst jobs I've ever had.

00:35:38.080 Yeah.

00:35:38.400 Other than serving.

00:35:39.380 I'm trying to think.

00:35:40.100 I don't have, I haven't had, I've had a lot of jobs, but there, I feel like I've always

00:35:43.900 been kind of whatevs about them.

00:35:45.520 Did you ever work like nine to five corporate?

00:35:47.940 Yeah.

00:35:48.400 Well, the, the, I was in sales when, when I was at the gym, I worked at different things.

00:35:52.460 I started as reception and then I got promoted to sales.

00:35:55.320 And then, how'd you like that?

00:35:57.060 I got fired.

00:36:00.020 That's another one.

00:36:00.900 Yeah.

00:36:01.120 It's another one.

00:36:01.660 But that one was again, it was just cause I was too, I swear to God.

00:36:04.720 It's every, when I think about it, too honest, like I'm not going to say the name of it. 1.00

00:36:08.980 Fuck it. 1.00

00:36:09.460 It was. 1.00

00:36:11.640 I've never even heard of that gym.

00:36:12.860 Good life fitness.

00:36:13.840 And like, that's so funny.

00:36:15.900 Can I get whatever?

00:36:17.280 Anyways.

00:36:17.940 So like, so I was 18 or 19.

00:36:22.520 Okay.

00:36:22.900 Wait, I have to, I have to, I have to give you some context.

00:36:25.440 Okay.

00:36:25.760 So I started as reception and I had a manager who was really sweet.

00:36:33.120 She was a really nice girl.

00:36:34.380 Really, really cool.

00:36:35.640 We were homies.

00:36:36.940 Loved her.

00:36:38.520 Then she got promoted to something else. 1.00

00:36:40.940 And when she got promoted, all of a sudden she was a fucking snowman to me. 0.99

00:36:45.100 And I was like, why is it so cold? 0.99

00:36:47.540 Weird.

00:36:48.340 Strange.

00:36:49.260 I, again, I just, I was like, what's going on?

00:36:52.900 Like, what the hell is this?

00:36:53.940 Yeah.

00:36:54.260 Cause it was like very like stark and quick.

00:36:57.180 Yeah.

00:36:57.660 And she's like, Jesse, like, you don't understand, but like when you get promoted, like you just

00:37:02.140 can't really like associate with the people that are like, you know, like beneath you kind

00:37:05.680 of like, you just have to, you, you, you elevate. 0.99

00:37:07.640 Like, and I was like, we're working at a gym, bitch. 1.00

00:37:10.760 What are you talking about? 0.99

00:37:11.580 I was flo- I couldn't believe it.

00:37:13.200 I was like, is this, are you serious?

00:37:15.260 Yeah.

00:37:15.500 All right, cool.

00:37:17.120 Cool.

00:37:17.580 I could be a snowman too.

00:37:18.760 No problem.

00:37:19.300 Cause I was still trying to show her love, whatever.

00:37:21.320 After that, I'm like ice, ice.

00:37:24.500 And then she got tight.

00:37:25.960 Cause then she could feel me switch it too.

00:37:27.660 Yeah.

00:37:27.940 And now I had no, I wasn't beholden to her cause she's not my manager anymore. 0.99

00:37:31.200 So she can't ask me like the fuck all I have to be is civil. 0.99

00:37:33.740 She was tight, whatever. 0.99

00:37:35.020 Now we're now it's not beefy and we're civil, but we're not cool.

00:37:37.540 Like we used to be.

00:37:38.180 Yeah.

00:37:38.600 Then I worked there for a year and then I get promoted to sales.

00:37:41.380 Then I start working sales.

00:37:42.820 When I got promoted, all of a sudden the snow melted and she starts trying to like buddy,

00:37:48.520 buddy with me again.

00:37:49.120 And I was like, nah, nah, the ship has sailed.

00:37:52.540 Like I can't retroactive.

00:37:54.960 Yeah. 1.00

00:37:55.320 What you're a freak, you're a weirdo. 1.00

00:37:57.060 You're dumb. 1.00

00:37:57.580 And she was kind of butthurt about that. 1.00

00:37:59.320 And I was like, whatever it is, what it is.

00:38:01.020 I was still cool with everybody else there.

00:38:03.460 This new girl came on real sweet girl. 0.94

00:38:07.060 Her name was Kathy.

00:38:08.300 That's what got me into cheerleading, into professional cheerleading.

00:38:10.620 But she, um, it was her first week and she was pacing cause she was so nervous about

00:38:17.680 getting in trouble cause she didn't collect enough leads.

00:38:21.160 Have you ever worked sales?

00:38:22.400 Yeah.

00:38:22.620 I have worked in sales, but not at a gym.

00:38:24.400 Um, yeah. 0.99

00:38:25.080 But you know, like leads and you, you know, you have the team building shit. 0.98

00:38:28.400 They're all about quotas and stuff. 0.99

00:38:29.400 Yeah.

00:38:29.540 So she had to, we all had to collect a certain amount of leads for the week in this box where

00:38:34.700 people take in names and then it's alleged that someone gets a free membership.

00:38:39.860 Okay.

00:38:40.460 Right.

00:38:41.000 Gotcha. 1.00

00:38:41.400 But what people don't know is that, okay, wait, so she's, she's saying that shit and 0.99

00:38:46.760 she's like, Oh my God, Jesse, I'm so nervous. 1.00

00:38:48.140 It's like 8 PM on a fucking Friday. 0.99

00:38:49.980 She's like, I got a wedding on Saturday and I'm going to have to take this box to the wedding 0.99

00:38:55.260 to collect leads at the wedding. 1.00

00:38:57.340 Um, and I was like, no, the fuck you don't. 1.00

00:39:00.520 Yeah. 1.00

00:39:00.900 No, you don't.

00:39:01.720 Listen, it's a scam. 0.99

00:39:03.040 Like they're not giving away a free fucking membership at the end of the week. 0.98

00:39:05.480 They collect all these boxes together. 0.98

00:39:07.280 They might do it at the end of the year.

00:39:08.560 Like it's not a, you're fine.

00:39:10.360 You don't have to take the box to the wedding and collect leads at the wedding.

00:39:14.640 Yeah.

00:39:15.640 And she's like, okay, she's like on the verge of tears.

00:39:17.680 I'm trying to calm her down.

00:39:18.620 Yeah.

00:39:19.380 And then my other manager, the old one walks out of the back closet because that's where

00:39:24.660 the gym music was.

00:39:25.840 And I didn't know she was changing the music and she walks out and I, and she had heard

00:39:29.260 everything and she was like, you know, Jesse.

00:39:30.740 And I was like, she's like, you know, you could get fired for slander. 0.99

00:39:33.380 And I was like, okay, bye.

00:39:35.720 And she leaves.

00:39:37.060 And then the next day I start my day and they call me into the office and my new manager

00:39:40.480 wasn't in there.

00:39:42.180 Cause usually when you're going to get fired, you have, you need a manager and a witness.

00:39:45.920 Yeah.

00:39:46.660 My manager knew I was money.

00:39:48.360 Like I was a good, I was good.

00:39:50.320 And she, and like after the fact, I found out that she refused to be in the room when 0.99

00:39:54.880 it happened, when it happened, she refused to be the witness.

00:39:56.960 Cause she tried to save me, but they were like, no, cause she had her, cause this one

00:39:59.840 had already reported me and then, and then head office and I was a whole thing. 0.99

00:40:04.140 Anyways, they fired my ass and I, and I, and I went to my aunt and cried and cried. 0.99

00:40:10.060 I was so disheartened. 0.99

00:40:11.320 Cause I was about to switch into PT.

00:40:13.380 Yeah.

00:40:14.040 Cause I had, I'd climbed there.

00:40:15.460 Yeah.

00:40:15.760 Yeah.

00:40:16.300 Uh, and then that week I went to the competitor across the street and I got a job there for

00:40:22.100 like two years.

00:40:24.080 What's your sign?

00:40:26.800 A Gemini.

00:40:27.680 Yeah.

00:40:28.000 Yeah.

00:40:28.360 That was my guess.

00:40:29.340 I thought it was going to be my guess.

00:40:30.820 If it wasn't that it was a Scorpio in my head.

00:40:32.920 I couldn't, especially Scorpio women. 1.00

00:40:34.720 Gemini women though. 1.00

00:40:35.760 Yeah.

00:40:36.120 Um, I'm a Virgo.

00:40:37.700 Oh, my mom's a Virgo. 0.94

00:40:39.180 Nice.

00:40:39.720 Period.

00:40:40.180 I love that.

00:40:41.000 I'll, I'm going to do, I'm going to do one more story really quick.

00:40:43.400 Everyone's going to have to hear me app.

00:40:44.520 Sorry.

00:40:45.180 Sorry.

00:40:45.580 Sorry.

00:40:45.840 Sorry.

00:40:46.260 What I was going to say was about your, uh, story about getting fired at the gym.

00:40:49.620 Yeah.

00:40:49.980 It's very similar to me getting fired at the NFL.

00:40:52.000 Cause I worked at the NFL. 1.00

00:40:53.160 Shut up. 0.99

00:40:53.800 Before I did this. 1.00

00:40:54.680 Yeah, girl. 0.99

00:40:55.200 What'd you do at the NFL?

00:40:56.440 Social media.

00:40:57.320 No way.

00:40:58.060 Yeah.

00:40:58.220 And they hate when I say this and I'm going to say it again. 1.00

00:40:59.740 Cause it's my fucking show. 0.99

00:41:00.960 One of the reasons they fired me was cause they said they couldn't trust that I knew 0.99

00:41:03.680 how to grow a following.

00:41:04.880 Grow a following.

00:41:05.600 Wow.

00:41:05.940 And I was like, turns out I do.

00:41:08.200 No way.

00:41:09.360 Yeah.

00:41:10.400 If you were taking my ideas, you guys could have had that.

00:41:13.020 Um, glad they didn't though.

00:41:14.200 But when I did get fired, I got fired by my manager who, um, hated me and made sure to

00:41:19.280 tell me often, like it was just like a slow breaking down of me, um, over time.

00:41:24.840 And I was already planning on switching teams.

00:41:27.280 Like that's what I wanted to do.

00:41:28.820 So like the last meeting I had with her, she was berating me in private.

00:41:32.420 Like she always did.

00:41:33.300 And then I told her, I was like, okay, so like, I would like to switch teams.

00:41:38.760 I think at the end of the season, like, I just don't think this works in this capacity

00:41:42.840 anymore.

00:41:43.200 And it, and I was like, I just, I can't thrive in an environment where someone like genuinely

00:41:49.120 doesn't want to see me succeed.

00:41:50.600 Like I, I can't really grow in that kind of environment.

00:41:53.220 And I don't think you're happy either.

00:41:54.880 Maybe it's for the best, like whatever.

00:41:56.240 I was trying to like be very cordial and civil about it, but this was the first time I like

00:42:00.280 had really stood up for myself, like, which is shocking for me personally.

00:42:04.560 And so she was like, well, you know, as soon as I said that it was like a, and I said,

00:42:09.000 and the next time you talk to me, I want there to be someone else in the room.

00:42:11.580 You said that?

00:42:12.060 Yeah.

00:42:12.500 Cause I told her, I just don't think you're going to talk to me the way you do if someone else

00:42:15.420 is here. 0.99

00:42:15.800 And then as soon as I said that shit, she was like, all right, why don't we just take 0.99

00:42:19.940 the day? 1.00

00:42:20.820 Let's just breathe. 1.00

00:42:21.960 Let's just like take a minute, all this shit. 0.99

00:42:24.560 And I'm like, all right. 0.98

00:42:25.340 But like, I've made up my mind, like in my head and I went home next day, mind you at

00:42:30.880 this time, I live in Lake Elsinore.

00:42:33.240 So that's in like the IE.

00:42:35.180 And I was driving to Culver city for six days out of the week.

00:42:39.300 So I was driving two and a half hours one way and then two and a half hours the other

00:42:43.900 way.

00:42:46.180 Like that's how much I was committed to this job.

00:42:49.540 And so then the next day I go into work, it's like a Wednesday and I'm working, I work all

00:42:54.120 day.

00:42:54.360 Then at 5 PM, she like slacks me, Hey, can you come to the conference room so we can finish 0.99

00:42:58.200 our conversation for me yesterday?

00:42:59.800 And I go, yeah, I take my laptop, go in there.

00:43:02.400 Cause she always, I always like take notes or whatever.

00:43:05.580 And I go in there and there's another woman in there. 1.00

00:43:07.640 So I figure, cause I told her, I figured, cause I said, I don't want to speak to you alone

00:43:11.980 anymore.

00:43:12.240 I want to speak to someone else that that's what I figured it was HR.

00:43:15.400 I figured that's why she was there.

00:43:16.720 So we sat down and then I was like, I had my laptop open and I was like sitting there

00:43:21.960 and then no one was really saying anything.

00:43:23.520 And I was like, I'm drew.

00:43:25.840 Right.

00:43:26.100 And she's like, hi, I'm so-and-so like, um, I'm with HR and I'm like, okay, she goes,

00:43:30.400 okay, so we're going to be talking about how, um, we are letting you go.

00:43:34.180 Like, we're going to be terminating your position. 1.00

00:43:35.640 Like I had no way of knowing that she was going to do that shit to me. 1.00

00:43:39.400 Like I had no fucking way of knowing like, I was like, Oh, well let me close that. 0.99

00:43:43.880 Cause obviously don't need to take notes on that. 0.94

00:43:45.820 Do I, I was like sitting there and I was like, just like internalizing it and processing

00:43:51.580 openly.

00:43:52.220 And I remember thinking like, like as she's talking to me, the lady's talking to me, my

00:43:56.920 evil manager, not saying anything.

00:43:59.600 She was evil. 0.94

00:44:00.680 Her not saying anything.

00:44:01.740 She's just sitting there like staring at her and she's looking at me and I'm looking

00:44:05.440 at her.

00:44:05.800 So we're just sitting there and then after she finishes talking, she goes, do you have

00:44:09.420 anything you want to say?

00:44:10.180 And I go, yeah.

00:44:12.400 Um, if you were going to fire me, you couldn't have done that before I drove here.

00:44:16.160 Like you guys couldn't have done that before I came here.

00:44:19.840 And then she goes, well, you're not being fired.

00:44:21.500 You're being let go.

00:44:22.300 That's what they kept.

00:44:22.880 They kept correcting me over and over at the verbiage.

00:44:24.620 Right.

00:44:25.200 Cause it's important.

00:44:26.720 And then she's like, well, you know, I think we're just like the HR lady, I think told the

00:44:31.960 manager, like, don't talk.

00:44:33.020 I'm going to talk the whole time.

00:44:34.100 You shouldn't say anything, but I knew she wanted to be there.

00:44:36.700 Cause she wanted to watch me get fired. 1.00

00:44:39.000 Cause she like felt good about it.

00:44:40.460 Like she was like really feeling good about herself.

00:44:42.480 And so she was like, I go, I don't know.

00:44:44.960 I just feel like we could have, you could have mentioned that to me yesterday when we

00:44:48.160 talked for two hours.

00:44:49.100 I feel like you could have mentioned this part.

00:44:51.380 And then she was like, we've had many talks.

00:44:54.640 That was the one thing she said in that entire meeting.

00:44:56.540 I'll never forget it. 1.00

00:44:57.760 Her stupid glasses too. 1.00

00:44:59.200 She had glasses, not stupid, silly ass glasses anyways. 1.00

00:45:04.680 And then she says that. 1.00

00:45:05.800 And I go, as soon as she said that to me, I go, we've never talked about you finding a

00:45:09.420 way to fire me legally.

00:45:10.600 We never talked about that.

00:45:12.420 And then we're just looking at each other.

00:45:14.040 And then the HR girl goes, I think we're getting off track.

00:45:17.320 I think we need to be focused.

00:45:18.820 I think we need to like, do you have any other questions besides that?

00:45:21.640 Before I continue, I go, yeah.

00:45:22.920 Can she leave?

00:45:24.740 I'd rather be alone.

00:45:25.640 And then she was like, yeah, yeah, no, yeah.

00:45:29.520 And then she just got up and left. 0.86

00:45:30.560 And that was the last time I ever saw her. 0.99

00:45:32.020 Good fucking riddance. 0.98

00:45:33.540 But the funny thing is too, even after that, like my manager at the time, like she was so 0.98

00:45:37.740 microaggressive towards me, like constantly.

00:45:40.400 And I remember when I left, they had security waiting for me.

00:45:43.980 Oh, they had security waiting for me too.

00:45:45.440 Which is crazy.

00:45:46.000 I know that's standard, but it's also nuts because you could have waited again.

00:45:50.340 It was, this was five or no, it was like four o'clock.

00:45:52.540 So I get off at five and you had them wait right there and wanted, cause she wanted other 1.00

00:45:57.680 people to watch me get fired and pack my shit and watch everybody watch me. 1.00

00:46:02.160 I'm like, you're evil, dude. 1.00

00:46:04.200 You already fucking got me, bitch. 1.00

00:46:05.820 You fucking fired me. 1.00

00:46:06.840 Like it's fine. 0.99

00:46:08.060 What's funny though, is because it was so hard for me to work there.

00:46:11.740 One thing I always say, when I look back, I'm like, you know what?

00:46:14.780 When I look back, I should have known something was off because it's really easy for me to make

00:46:18.300 friends.

00:46:19.120 And for some reason there, it was really hard for me to make friends.

00:46:21.720 I was really trying.

00:46:22.860 I was doing my best.

00:46:24.140 I was giving my best jokes all the time.

00:46:26.300 No friendship.

00:46:27.260 I had like two friends there, but like one of them was a buddy from college and the other

00:46:30.620 one was like an older woman. 1.00

00:46:32.120 But all of the other people who worked in the facility, the front door girl, the lady in 0.99

00:46:36.460 the bathroom, the security guy, they loved me.

00:46:39.840 And so the security guy, when he was waiting for me, he goes, I'm sorry.

00:46:44.300 And I was like, Hey buddy, kicking me while I'm down.

00:46:46.860 You know what I mean?

00:46:47.680 That's, I know that's really sweet, but it makes me feel bad.

00:46:50.100 But I was like, it's all right.

00:46:52.280 No, it's totally fine.

00:46:53.580 Were you weeping?

00:46:54.260 I weeped.

00:46:55.020 Yeah.

00:46:55.600 I weeped.

00:46:56.580 I was really proud of myself for not crying in the meeting because I wanted to, but I

00:47:00.960 was so angry that I didn't.

00:47:03.880 And then as soon as I sat in my 2015 Prius, I started sobbing.

00:47:09.320 And then I went on my Instagram and I deleted every single thing that could have possibly

00:47:13.800 tied me to the NFL at all.

00:47:15.680 Like I deleted every single, every trace of it.

00:47:17.940 I got rid of all of it.

00:47:19.000 And then I called my mom.

00:47:20.760 She didn't answer.

00:47:21.280 I called my sister.

00:47:21.860 She didn't answer.

00:47:22.400 So then I was like, all right, fine.

00:47:23.320 I'll call my dad.

00:47:24.060 So I called my dad and then I told him.

00:47:25.920 And then the first thing he said to me was congratulations. 0.99

00:47:28.720 And I said, I got fucking fired. 0.99

00:47:30.940 Yeah. 0.99

00:47:31.080 And I told him, I was like, I think I got fired when I was talking to him on the phone.

00:47:34.420 And he was like, congrats.

00:47:36.860 That's so great.

00:47:38.380 And I was like, is it?

00:47:39.700 Doesn't feel like it.

00:47:41.340 And he goes, you hated that job.

00:47:42.620 Cause like all of them knew they knew I hated that job.

00:47:44.840 That's such a sweet, immediate knee jerk response.

00:47:47.460 Right.

00:47:47.740 And it was what I needed.

00:47:48.800 Thankfully. 0.99

00:47:49.300 I did cry the whole fucking way home. 0.98

00:47:51.260 I cried. 0.98

00:47:51.680 I didn't that two and a half hour traffic.

00:47:53.780 I sat in.

00:47:54.580 I was just sobbing the whole way home.

00:47:56.280 No.

00:47:56.720 And then not too long later, I started doing this.

00:47:59.760 Yeah.

00:47:59.980 So it's like, everything happens for a reason.

00:48:01.820 Everything does.

00:48:02.600 When you can't ever connect the dots forward, but you can always connect them back.

00:48:05.520 Right.

00:48:05.840 I truly feel like too, I always tell my family this and like everyone around me, like the

00:48:10.820 universe always has my back.

00:48:12.980 Like I was like, my ancestors are always looking over me.

00:48:15.520 They're watching over me constantly.

00:48:16.700 And sometimes when I don't listen to them, they have no choice, but to shove me off the 1.00

00:48:22.800 fucking path. 0.99

00:48:23.660 Like those who don't hear must feel right. 1.00

00:48:25.600 And me being, me being a Virgo too, I don't deviate from paths often.

00:48:29.300 So like when I have a course, I steady it unless I have a backup plan or another backup

00:48:33.600 plan or another.

00:48:34.120 So I had no backup plan and I wasn't planning on leaving, even though I kept saying I would.

00:48:39.400 And so they had to kick me off the path and they Spartan kicked me off that hoe. 1.00

00:48:44.100 Shit. 1.00

00:48:44.560 Sandal to the chest, man. 1.00

00:48:45.660 I was like, okay.

00:48:46.420 Oh no, for sure.

00:48:47.200 Yeah.

00:48:47.340 No fire me.

00:48:47.920 It's okay.

00:48:48.280 No, totally fine.

00:48:49.420 But thankfully they did.

00:48:50.680 And then not too long later, I started posting on TikTok.

00:48:53.300 And now look, I'm talking to you.

00:48:55.900 All's well that ends well.

00:48:57.020 I love that.

00:48:57.900 Okay.

00:48:58.420 So I'm going to read one TikTok.

00:48:59.980 We didn't even talk about the topic, but that's just how much we've been king.

00:49:03.100 I love that for us.

00:49:03.900 Okay.

00:49:04.860 So this first one.

00:49:06.480 Okay.

00:49:06.680 Wait, the topic is a society's double standard when it comes to expectations of men and women

00:49:10.800 in dating and the workplace.

00:49:12.680 Well, we did talk about the workplace.

00:49:14.040 So we were kind of on topic anyways.

00:49:16.720 So in this video, a man is interviewing a woman asking about red flags when the woman

00:49:21.380 asks him, what's your biggest red flag in a woman? 1.00

00:49:24.740 Immediately.

00:49:25.100 He says tattoos.

00:49:26.260 If I see a tattoo on her, it's over because girls that get tattoos are usually more promiscuous. 1.00

00:49:31.540 I'm not going to take a promiscuous girl seriously. 0.99

00:49:35.940 Well, men who say that can never get. 0.98

00:49:38.580 It's funny because they call women whores and it's like, well, clearly she's not that 0.99

00:49:41.620 good at her job because she won't sleep with you. 1.00

00:49:43.560 They're like, oh, slut. 1.00

00:49:45.800 Okay. 1.00

00:49:46.820 I'll sleep with everyone but you.

00:49:48.100 Apparently.

00:49:49.060 This one says never seen a woman that looks better with a tattoo.

00:49:52.320 Tattoos are the most obvious sign of the pursuit of external validation.

00:49:56.520 Also, the bright dyed color hair too.

00:49:58.180 The more natural the woman looks, the more likely she's the one to eye on for long term. 1.00

00:50:03.100 To eye on for long term.

00:50:05.440 And that's, yeah.

00:50:06.740 Until he said that, I wasn't on board.

00:50:08.820 It was so well written.

00:50:09.940 Prolific.

00:50:10.900 It's prolific.

00:50:11.920 It's profound, honestly.

00:50:13.620 Yeah.

00:50:14.060 Do you have a lot of tattoos?

00:50:15.180 Do you have any tattoos?

00:50:15.900 I have three.

00:50:16.840 I have this one.

00:50:18.220 Cute.

00:50:18.980 I got it with my dad.

00:50:19.960 It matches.

00:50:20.620 That's cute.

00:50:20.780 He's got a little smiley face and then I got my parents right here.

00:50:23.640 Oh, I love that.

00:50:24.480 And then I got one on my foot that matches with two of my homeboys.

00:50:26.960 That's like a little dog.

00:50:28.180 That's a long story.

00:50:30.540 I'm sure it is.

00:50:31.460 It's probably a fun story too.

00:50:32.660 Your life is crazy.

00:50:35.100 Yeah, I have, I have, obviously I have this like hand arm tattoo.

00:50:39.880 I love the hand tattoos.

00:50:40.740 They're so pretty.

00:50:41.380 Thank you.

00:50:42.020 And all my tattoos are cultural.

00:50:43.460 So all of them are someone tribal. 0.75

00:50:45.020 I have one down my back too.

00:50:46.300 And then I have one on my neck and then one on my side.

00:50:49.060 But the one on my side is like a tribal, like it's a moon, but it has someone tribal inside

00:50:53.960 of it.

00:50:54.620 And that one's for our mom.

00:50:55.920 Like we got sibling tattoos.

00:50:57.060 Me and my sister and my brother, uh, because we're like, she always says, I love you to

00:51:01.540 the moon and back.

00:51:02.020 So we got that.

00:51:03.080 And then one on my neck is for my dad.

00:51:05.440 Like we all got the same ones too.

00:51:07.480 My dad's very first tattoo was like a stick and poke in Samoa that says a hundred percent

00:51:12.480 Samoa. 0.99

00:51:12.940 And it's like tiny as fuck. 0.99

00:51:14.620 And it's on his like left shoulder blade. 0.99

00:51:16.900 And it's so funny.

00:51:17.760 Cause he hates that tattoo.

00:51:19.280 Like he, and it's so faded and raised.

00:51:21.460 It's awful.

00:51:22.080 Cause he got it when he was like 14, which was a million years ago.

00:51:25.960 Uh, and so my dad hates that tattoo.

00:51:27.960 And then one time when me and my sister were drunk, we were talking about tattoos and then

00:51:31.900 we were like, what if we got, and Dason goes, what if we got one that said 75% Samoa cause

00:51:37.240 my dad's a hundred and we're 75.

00:51:39.400 And then I was like, that's hilarious, dude.

00:51:42.140 And that was like two years ago.

00:51:43.260 And then we did it.

00:51:44.060 Like we, my brother's is huge.

00:51:46.220 It's on his shoulder and it's literally in the biggest font I've ever seen in my life.

00:51:50.260 And then me and Dason have little ones on our neck.

00:51:52.100 And I was like, that's how you know, we're never that serious because we're literally,

00:51:55.980 we tattooed a bit on our, on ourselves cause we thought it was funny.

00:51:58.940 It's good.

00:51:59.760 It's great. 0.99

00:52:00.300 I love a silly ass tattoo. 0.99

00:52:01.760 I think they're fun. 0.99

00:52:02.680 They are fun.

00:52:03.300 Yeah. 1.00

00:52:03.920 And I think, fuck haters. 1.00

00:52:05.340 That's crazy. 1.00

00:52:07.020 You can't get a bad bitch with tattoos. 1.00

00:52:08.780 Just say that. 1.00

00:52:09.540 It'd be a lot faster.

00:52:11.080 Yeah.

00:52:11.580 Do you get any hate online?

00:52:12.880 I'm sure you do.

00:52:14.060 You're a woman existing and you're talented.

00:52:15.520 So obviously, and you're not white. 0.51

00:52:18.780 So obviously you're working against you too.

00:52:20.800 Yeah.

00:52:21.620 I do.

00:52:22.520 But I've learned to, I've always had thick skin and I owe me too.

00:52:27.640 It's just, and it's such a gift to have it.

00:52:29.660 Right.

00:52:30.280 It makes you, it just makes you stronger, but also lets you get better.

00:52:34.460 Like people try to, people try to throw jabs and it's like, yo, you don't even know.

00:52:38.500 That's why I felt so seen watching your videos.

00:52:40.000 Like the way you cackle is the way I receive them.

00:52:43.120 I love that. 1.00

00:52:44.580 Like for real, like bitch, you can't sing. 1.00

00:52:45.940 I'll be like, but I'm eating. 1.00

00:52:48.040 But I'm eating.

00:52:49.420 Okay.

00:52:50.000 But I'm living off this.

00:52:51.160 Yeah.

00:52:51.800 You're mad.

00:52:52.320 Right.

00:52:52.860 You're mad.

00:52:53.540 Right.

00:52:53.880 And here's what's even worse.

00:52:55.600 Suppose you're right and I can't, and I'm living off this. 0.98

00:52:59.620 You're mad.

00:53:00.260 Yeah.

00:53:00.920 So you're mad either way.

00:53:02.240 You're mad either way.

00:53:03.000 Yeah.

00:53:03.280 You're mad no matter what.

00:53:04.460 You're mad either way.

00:53:05.400 I say that every time men tell me I'm not funny.

00:53:07.220 I'm like, well, one of us is funny.

00:53:08.760 Yeah.

00:53:09.580 Yeah.

00:53:09.920 So we should check tape.

00:53:12.560 Let's check our record.

00:53:13.540 Let's check the trophy wall and see.

00:53:15.360 Oh man.

00:53:15.800 I always think that too.

00:53:16.680 But I, I never, I feel the same way you do.

00:53:18.740 It's like someone who's doing worse than me in life is never going to give me valid criticism

00:53:23.140 about mine, especially not my job.

00:53:25.680 No.

00:53:25.960 And if anything, you'll moat, it's like you'll live.

00:53:27.880 You're, you have no idea the, the favor that you're doing.

00:53:31.020 Right.

00:53:31.500 No idea the favor that you're doing to me.

00:53:33.080 Right.

00:53:33.260 Every time that you throw me negative, like the way.

00:53:36.800 Alchemy is a beautiful thing.

00:53:38.760 It's a beautiful thing.

00:53:40.460 It's a beautiful thing. 0.99

00:53:41.440 And when you know how to do it, that shit just, you're just fanning a fire, bro. 0.99

00:53:45.400 Right. 1.00

00:53:45.700 That's all you're doing.

00:53:46.280 So fan me up. 1.00

00:53:47.980 Shit. 1.00

00:53:48.880 That's funny. 1.00

00:53:49.960 I've talked to my friend Teffy about it before.

00:53:51.920 She's very spiritual too.

00:53:53.020 You love Teffy.

00:53:53.700 Colombiana.

00:53:54.260 Yes. 0.93

00:53:54.880 She's so witchy and spiritual.

00:53:57.660 She's my, my witch mother in training, but she's even told me before.

00:54:01.340 And I hold this very true to this day for myself too. 0.99

00:54:03.800 She said like, when I tell you the universe and God don't play about me, I would stop fucking 0.99

00:54:08.620 with me if I were you. 0.99

00:54:09.680 They don't play about me.

00:54:10.980 That's why I'm like, when you wrong me, I feel bad for you.

00:54:15.260 Yeah.

00:54:15.660 Whatever's coming for you, it will come.

00:54:17.380 Yeah.

00:54:17.840 It may take, she may take her time, but she will arrive.

00:54:20.440 Yeah.

00:54:20.760 Yeah.

00:54:20.840 Yeah.

00:54:21.000 Yeah.

00:54:21.020 So I always think whenever something happens like that, I always think like this was for

00:54:23.960 a reason and this was on purpose for a good reason and on purpose.

00:54:27.020 When I got fired, I struggled to tell myself, but I was telling myself this is for a reason

00:54:30.940 and this is on purpose.

00:54:31.800 Same.

00:54:32.120 Like for a specific reason. 0.99

00:54:33.440 And thank fucking God. 0.99

00:54:34.620 Yeah. 0.99

00:54:34.920 Oh my God.

00:54:35.440 Thank God.

00:54:35.940 It's so great to train yourself that way because it's so hard to do it in those moments.

00:54:39.280 Right.

00:54:39.700 To like advocate for yourself that way.

00:54:41.720 Especially in this industry.

00:54:43.020 Especially in this, oh my God.

00:54:44.640 Especially in this industry.

00:54:45.980 But it serves you so much to train your brain if you don't naturally have that.

00:54:49.860 I got a lot of that from my parents.

00:54:51.360 Like my parents just put me in situations where I had to have thick skin.

00:54:54.520 Right.

00:54:54.840 Me too.

00:54:56.480 I always tell people when they're like, they try to insult me.

00:54:59.520 I'm like, oh, you guys haven't hung, you haven't met my mom.

00:55:02.320 So I'd hang out with her. 1.00

00:55:04.260 That shit's chill. 1.00

00:55:05.220 That's child's play to me, bitch. 1.00

00:55:06.820 You know what I mean? 1.00

00:55:08.040 That's level one.

00:55:09.180 Yeah. 0.99

00:55:09.560 I was like, damn, is that it? 0.99

00:55:10.980 Yeah. 0.99

00:55:11.360 Well, no wonder you think I'm so fucking mean. 0.99

00:55:13.300 Yeah. 0.99

00:55:13.540 My dad could cut, but I'm not mean.

00:55:16.080 I wish that's the other, whatever.

00:55:18.020 It's fine.

00:55:18.320 They're not our tribe. 0.56

00:55:19.360 When you, when you, it's not mean.

00:55:21.280 Right.

00:55:21.560 It's funny.

00:55:22.480 You don't get it.

00:55:22.860 That's what I'm saying.

00:55:23.640 You guys don't get it.

00:55:24.480 You don't get it.

00:55:25.560 That's why a lot of times, that's why a lot of white people don't like it either.

00:55:28.460 That's why I was like, you need to hang out with more minority people.

00:55:30.840 Your skin will toughen up too.

00:55:32.340 You don't get it.

00:55:32.980 I was like, my family thrives off roasting each other.

00:55:35.820 Like, that's like something fun that we do together.

00:55:38.900 Yeah.

00:55:39.140 We sit in a circle and we make fun of each other. 1.00

00:55:41.460 And I had to get funny and I had to get funny fast, bitch. 1.00

00:55:44.060 What the fuck? 1.00

00:55:44.780 I was drowning out there when I was a kid. 1.00

00:55:46.540 That's funny.

00:55:47.200 And then what's worse in my family is like, if you start taking it a little too personal,

00:55:50.420 like you're like, whatever, whatever.

00:55:52.800 They're like, oh, someone's mad.

00:55:54.960 Are you mad?

00:55:55.840 Double down.

00:55:56.300 Oh, no joking with her.

00:55:57.560 She's mad.

00:55:58.220 Double down.

00:55:59.520 Can't do it.

00:56:00.260 I was like, the humiliation was eating me alive.

00:56:01.980 I had to get good.

00:56:02.760 Oh my God.

00:56:03.860 Anyways, to wrap us up.

00:56:06.540 I know we talked about all kinds of things, but I'm so glad we got to touch on your music

00:56:09.840 in the beginning.

00:56:10.380 Sometimes I get so wrapped up in King, I forget to ask about your artistry.

00:56:14.380 But just to kind of dovetail back to the beginning, what would you say is your best piece

00:56:19.740 of advice for any aspiring artist in general?

00:56:24.060 They don't necessarily have to be a vocalist because you're not just a vocalist.

00:56:26.880 Obviously, you're a poet too.

00:56:28.280 And you're just an artist in general.

00:56:29.620 I feel like you have so much art to put out into the world that's beautiful and withstanding.

00:56:36.060 So what would you say is your best piece of advice for people who would love to essentially

00:56:40.580 make a living off of their art or be able to put it out into the world?

00:56:44.500 To fail faster because time is going to pass you by anyway. 0.99

00:56:47.920 And so many people get paralyzed by indecision and they fucking pussyfooted up. 0.98

00:56:51.560 They're scared. 0.98

00:56:52.460 And when you really break it down to brass tacks, what you're really afraid of is being

00:56:58.980 perceived.

00:56:59.840 And if you're scared about people seeing you, if you really think about it, the people 0.99

00:57:04.940 that are seeing you aren't even working on their own shit because if they were, they 0.97

00:57:08.880 wouldn't even be paying any attention to you and whatever failure might be in front of 0.98

00:57:12.560 you or behind you. 0.99

00:57:13.360 So it's kind of fucked up. 1.00

00:57:15.360 But when you think about it that way, you're like, who the fuck are you to be judging me 1.00

00:57:18.500 when you're not even focused on your own shit? 1.00

00:57:20.480 And so what am I even ultimately scared of? 1.00

00:57:22.920 So fuck that. 1.00

00:57:23.460 Let me just focus on my own shit. 1.00

00:57:24.900 And if you do fuck up, it's fine. 1.00

00:57:27.180 Again, you have to, this doesn't come like overnight if you're not naturally like this. 0.99

00:57:30.560 You train yourself to be that way to like try something. 0.98

00:57:33.360 If it doesn't work, keep it fucking moving. 0.99

00:57:35.620 Try something again. 0.99

00:57:36.480 If it doesn't work, keep it fucking moving. 0.98

00:57:37.900 And then the more no's you get, if you could keep your enthusiasm up, the hundredth no might 0.98

00:57:45.360 be like the one right before the yes that might change your life.

00:57:47.780 Yeah.

00:57:48.140 You know, and you, and, and you're not going to get better unless you try it. 0.99

00:57:50.980 Like LeBron didn't come out the fucking room playing like he does, you know, you have 0.98

00:57:55.160 to work at it. 0.99

00:57:55.920 So that also comes with it, but fail faster and learn to objectively criticize yourself

00:58:00.080 and surround yourself with a team because it's impossible to do great things alone.

00:58:04.440 Right.

00:58:04.800 Um, yeah.

00:58:05.860 And then tell, and then make sure you, you, you cultivate a culture of, um, honesty and

00:58:13.400 telling your people, yo, I, I got thick skin. 0.97

00:58:16.880 You need to tell me what I'm fucking up here. 0.96

00:58:18.940 How'd I, I'll get off stage and I'll be like, how'd I do what went left, what went right? 0.98

00:58:22.500 So we could like finesse and you know what I mean? 1.00

00:58:24.520 But you're so me, but that shit, that shit is so, cause that's how you get better. 1.00

00:58:28.900 Yeah, totally. 1.00

00:58:29.980 Cultivate that sort of culture where everybody can be very forthright with criticisms and

00:58:33.420 apply it to yourself.

00:58:34.800 With love, obviously it's said with love always.

00:58:36.520 Yeah.

00:58:37.620 But, but learn to do that.

00:58:38.800 And then, and then also learn to celebrate the small ones because the universe reflects

00:58:42.120 your level of gratitude.

00:58:44.160 So yeah.

00:58:44.940 And sometimes we forget cause then we get there and then, and then the little problem that

00:58:48.560 you would have been stressing about when you had no money or when you were just getting

00:58:50.900 started. 0.98

00:58:51.300 Now you're like, oh, that ain't shit, but it is, but it is. 0.97

00:58:54.140 And you have to celebrate even the small ones. 0.98

00:58:55.920 You have to celebrate them.

00:58:57.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:58:57.120 Feel faster, celebrate shit, gratitude and have thick skin. 0.99

00:59:00.660 And if you're going to cry, cry, we'll wrap it up. 0.99

00:59:03.700 I love that.

00:59:04.620 I think you're so fucking awesome. 0.65

00:59:06.400 I think you're so incredible and so talented and I think you're a gift to this world and 0.74

00:59:10.620 the industry, especially and me.

00:59:13.040 Oh my gosh.

00:59:13.740 I got to have you today.

00:59:14.720 So thank you so much.

00:59:15.880 I appreciate you.

00:59:20.860 As are you.

00:59:21.580 I don't know what God's work is.

00:59:23.300 A little bit of toxicity.

00:59:23.880 And you guys saw that on camera.

00:59:25.380 So you guys got that.
