All right, guys, it's a new year.
And you know what that means.
Out with the old, in with the new.
But I do gotta say one thing.
I will be bringing old with me into the new year.
Lume whole body deodorant is the bee's knees, baby.
I know when I go out on New Year's Eve
and I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off,
I don't have to worry about sweating or smelling.
Because why?

I don't care what anybody says.
It doesn't matter what time of year it is.
I never get tired of online shopping, especially during the holidays.
Here's the thing.
It's kind of gross out.
Even those of us that embrace the chilly weather need something to break up long winter nights. Something I love
to do is treat myself to a little something, but I don't want to spend a fortune on my winter blues.
That's where Quince comes in. I'm absolutely obsessed with my Quince luggages. I took them
on tour. I brought them home and they're still like brand new. I'm pretty much obsessed with
this brand, but there is something else that everyone needs in their closet, in my opinion.
Quince's iconic Mongolian cashmere sweaters, which start at $50.
Or if you want to really up the luxe factor, check out their Italian leather handbags,
washable silk skirts, and European linen sheet sets.
Whatever you're looking for, all Quince items are priced 50% to 80% less than similar brands.
Quince only works with factories that use safe, ethical,
and responsible manufacturing practices.
Treat yourself this winter without the luxury price tag.

We wouldn't expect anything less from Jade though, right?
I know.
I had to.
I was like, Nashville is all rhinestones.
So yes, baby.
I love it. I love it I love
it so what's up how are you nothing we just me and my mom just went on our first flight yesterday
how was that so first time ever flying yes like ever well I had flown before when I was like three
with my aunt and she said I screamed the whole time I wouldn't expect anything less but it was
fun it was kind of felt like a roller coaster like when your stomach like drops and I liked it but I'm like if anything bad were to happen that's not a good
feeling yeah no no what'd you think about it mom you're allowed to talk I loved it you love it yeah
good so scared but it was fun I love it so I didn't know um you and I are the same age I think
how old are you okay so I'm 42 I old are you? Okay, so I'm 42.
I'll be 43 in January.
Yeah, so I'm old enough to be your mama, Jade.

No, that is crazy. I'll be your online mama.
How about that?
Yeah.
You'll be my little baby girl.
I know.
It's crazy.
All right, so let's, you know, everybody wants to know what the fuck Jade Amber is up to.
I know.
Like, first of all where's prince i'm just
kidding i saw your live today and i just had to do it i was like i'm that's the first thing
everyone and i'm like i don't know i just feel like to know a child's location at all times
it's crazy no it's fucking weird but it's also always with moms who are always with their kids
the one moment they're not they're like where are your kids at it's crazy because um society will condemn women who stay at home with their kids all day
long and pretty much like be like oh they're not doing anything with their lives they chose to be
a stay-at-home mom and then when you actually branch out to go and do something to like you
know further your brand or to like you know do an interview or just anything well where's your kids
right so it's like which one is it you guys make up your fucking minds right but then if you're
like fully working they're like oh but you're never with your kids yeah it's like you're damned
if you do you're damned if you don't i feel like they do that to megan fox all the time too they're
like where are her kids and she's like i don't even know she had kids yeah yeah she's got three
she's milforama right yeah it's crazy so let's talk about baby jade take me back to your childhood where'd you
grow up while mom's sitting so um i was born in north carolina but like my parents moved to
connecticut when i was like six months old so i was born in fayetteville north carolina but then
i grew up in connecticut and actually somehow i like remember a lot of it. We moved when I was eight. And, like, I mean, from what I can remember, like, it was a pretty normal, like, childhood and stuff like that.
But it was definitely a lot different than, like, North Carolina and stuff like that.
But also, like, growing up as a teen somewhere and, like, being a child is completely different.
Yeah, different stages of life.
Yeah.
And Connecticut, like, like i mean it was
nothing crazy i had lived in a neighborhood that was the only time i've ever lived in a neighborhood
and like i would always just be outside playing with my friends sometimes like i would like take
their toys like maybe playing with something and i would literally bring toys home my mom
would take me and all my siblings and like bring us back to the house and be like
please give them their toys back thank you like you do not need to have their stuff but yeah um and connecticut was like were you like a mean girl
as a kid just like hey give me your toy like big deep baby debo not really like i don't even think
i just thought about it i was just like you're just like i'm playing with this and they never
said anything so i was just like this is mine jade i could see jade having that that charismatic personality where people are just
like here's your gift like i didn't mean anything i was just like yeah i'm gonna take this is fun
like i want this for myself i love that i never knew people actually really lived in connecticut
because fucking when i i grew up on the west coast right so the only time i ever heard about
connecticut was in the babysysitter's Club book series.
I don't know if you guys know about that.
You're way too young for that.
But your mom might know about it.
But there's a whole thing.
And they lived in New Haven, Connecticut or something like that.
And I was like, this is so cool.
People on the East Coast, you know, because I was from the West Coast.
So to hear you say that you're from, that you lived in Connecticut is just crazy to me.
Because I never knew people actually fucking live there.
Shout out, Connecticut.
Right. Shout out to all you peeps in connecticut right whenever i think of connecticut now i think of jerry springer is that where they were at too go fucking figure okay everyone says there's like a
whole bunch of crazies from connecticut that's awesome though they fucking it's fucking white
trash bash and yeah to get then yeah who would have thought in um middletown so it was
i don't know it was like pretty regular but i all have like walked to school like and there would be
like snow up to my face like it was so you had to walk barefoot in the snow you get to tell prince
that story you could be like i walk barefoot in the snow i know yeah that's so funny but in north carolina like if there's like a sprinkle of like cold rain or like barely a
snowflake they're like oh close the schools down so oh no it's crazy they do that out here too
and i'm like what we used to have like explosions in vegas and they still didn't fucking we still
had explosions because there's like power plants and shit out there that would like explode and do
weird shit and they still never fucking canceled school like
we had to fucking go to school with our the world burning around us and nobody fucking cared
literally it fucking gets too slushy out here my kid's like i've got a week off and i'm like
oh god what are we doing for a week right like thanks um so how long did you guys live in
connecticut for um we lived in connecticut from the time i was
like six months old so i was eight so like eight years okay it was a long time and then the
recession happened and rent was like freaking through the sky so then they moved to north
carolina and i grew up in bun level but i went to school but level is so small it's literally like
bun level but i went to school bun level is so small it's literally like mom's over here cracking up it's literally in the middle of nowhere like country like this in north carolina okay gotcha
but i went to school um near fayetteville so that's why like whenever i went to um
whenever i worked at the hooters in charlotte people were like where are you from i'm like
this is too much to explain so i would just like be like Fayetteville because I grew up like my childhood in Connecticut
but then like my teenage years was in um like Spring Lake close to Fayetteville but growing up
in North Carolina was crazy because like I would get so caught up in the wrong people all the time
when you say wrong people what do
you mean did you ever do drugs and stuff like that when i was like 14 like i did not like i
was just doing whatever like yeah they would like pay me something and i would just take it not
anything crazy but like well that wasn't really back then because you're so young but yeah drugs
weren't like they were now though like now you never know what the fuck you're going to get a hold of.
Like in the past few years, it's just changed so much.
So even like, you know, fucking six, seven years ago, drugs weren't they were still bad, but they weren't like it would you would be taking your last breath type shit, you know?
Yeah, no, it wasn't like that.
It was just like like I had just gotten into high school and like I was already like not smoking weed but like there was one weekend where
i got into so much trouble and it's like engraved in my brain because it was like one of those times
where you get in trouble and like your stomach is literally in your ass you're so scared and
it was just it was so bad what did you do walk us through it we want to know
so i think it makes you human though because you know everybody
gets to see how you're just this amazing mom you're right you know vlogging all the time we
us as creators we only put out what we want people to see you know and i think it's cool that it's
relatable when people actually get to hear oh my god jade amber got in trouble you know especially
for people around the same age as you you know it it takes it's a
beautiful story to watch people be able to go through shit and come out of it and when you're
so young like you don't like obviously your parents have told you like be careful hanging
out with but she's like okay whatever like i like her like yeah what are you gonna do so
me and my friend at the time she's like my best friend even though i had just met her it was like
one of those relationships like you meet somebody you're like oh my god this is like my sister that I've never met so we were like always together and um
there was one weekend where I told my mom that I was with her and she told her mom that she was
with me and um it was one of those things where like the freshman girls were like Hank sorry guys
he is is that in your earphones memes? I'm so sorry.
Chachi is just over here and love listening to Jade falling asleep. But it was one of those
things where like the senior boys of like high school or like juniors were like hanging out
with freshmen. And, um, so I was at her house, but we ended up like going, you know how like
stoners like in high school will like hang out in the woods and like just do weird stuff like yeah so we used to have
fucking we used to hang out in forts yeah like shit out in deserts and hang like it was weird
with the roaches it was weird not weird kid i did weird shit man oh my gosh okay so we were like
hanging out in the woods and then one of them
one of the people was there i can like barely remember exactly who all of them were because
this was when i was like 14 yeah um but one of them was like oh well my mom has a camper outside
like we can go be in a camper like we can go chill in the camper because it was like
november december time but it was like cold like i don't know what's going on right now
it kind of feels like summertime outside i was sort of saying that to my niece today whenever
we went to fucking the gym i was like bro it is like last last november was fucking freezing yeah
this november is like we are still not even wearing sweatshirts and jackets but then at night it's
like freezing freezing yeah so it was it was probably like that back then um i can't really
remember but i remember
it got really cold at night so they're like why don't we go in the camper so we're like in the
camper just like oh my gosh at the time like everyone was like taking triple c's i don't even
know what it is now but apparently it's like yeah i don't even do you know what it's called like
you're the second person to come on the podcast and talk about him mimi knows about him yeah but like if you take too many like
trip out so like that's what they were doing or whatever that's scary yeah and heart shit
yeah so like one of the guys ended up like taking too many it was like seizing it was the
freaking scariest thing i've ever freaking seen yeah and like i was only 14 like what is going on
but there's like all these older people around me and my friends over there like
making out with some guy and i'm just like what is going on and it was just like so crazy and
then people are just like because it was in a neighborhood and we were in high school so it was
people who lived around there and then they would see other people they knew and everybody's just
like coming in and out and we were drinking and they had like freaking i don't even know what it was it was some white liquor and i had never
drank before and it was like now that i know what liquor is probably moonshine or something like
some crazy hard stuff yeah and long story short like we were just out like just partying whatever so it becomes morning time seizing live oh i forgot to even say so basically like he was hanging i just want to
make sure he didn't broke unresponsive and like couldn't talk we were trying to get him to say
his abc's like everything mind you i'm like young i don't even know what they're doing i'm like what
the freak is going on yeah so um they ended up like i don't know i don't even
remember what they did but he did live that's all i know like he became conscious and all that stuff
i think he just like went to sleep but it was like scary like yeah i mean that's really fucking
scary to see yeah i know i don't even think my mom knew that do you tell the story uh mom you're
learning new things today but um yeah but i don't but I don't know. I was like, well,
what the freak? Well, it scared her straight pretty much. So I was like, Oh, heck no. So,
um, that happened. And then it becomes like morning time. Like nobody's went to sleep.
Everybody's just been up all night. And then, um, one of the guys, he, he came from like a
really nice neighborhood. So I don't really know what happened to him.
I don't even know why he was hanging out with that group of people.
Like, his mom was really nice.
And she was really pretty.
But that's besides the point.
So he was like, I can call my mom and, like, have her bring us groceries.
Because we're all, like, don't got no money.
Like, we're just out here with, like, a whole bunch of alcohol and whatever.
But, like, no food.
And he's like, I'll tell my mom to bring us food pizza chips all this
stuff so she's like on the way or it was his grandma or something like that he called his mom
tell his grandma whatever and at the time i was only 14 so i didn't really have a phone um but
the phone that i did have i don't even know if it worked like without wi-fi right i think it was probably an ipod or something and um one of the somebody's
phone i think it was my friend i'm gonna set her name i don't want to say her name um she was like
your mom's asking where you're at and i'm like what and she was like your mom is asking where
you're at and i was like what do you mean so I like get on her phone and I like log into my Facebook Messenger.
And my mom's like, Jade Amber, where the fuck are you at?
What are you doing?
Where are you at?
You told me you were at so-and-so's house.
And I went over there and her mom laughed in my face and said,
she don't know where y'all are.
Like, where are you at?
My heart fell into my cooch.
Oh, that's the worst.
I was so scared. Can they use the first and middle name too was like that's how that's what she's always called me whenever jade amber jade amber so i was
like i'm just going by jade amber like at this point but i like it so um i was like freaked out
like it was like one of the like the world stopped i was like i gotta go like i don't care the food
like i don't care if the food is coming you just get so sick to your stomach you literally just
like the vibe was completely gone i was like oh my god i have got to go so um next thing you know
i'm like getting dressed i'm thinking i have time like i oh my gosh i was like so scared and because
i was just like i knew i was in the wrong like i was doing things i shouldn't have been doing like was just being crazy yeah so and my friend was there and she was just like
she was kind of freaked out too um so i'm like putting on my hoodie hurrying up and all of a
sudden i hear beep beep and then i was like what was? And then all of a sudden I heard banging on the camper like, do, do, do, do.
And she was like, J.D. Amber, get your ass out of here.
Oh, no.
Mom, how did you know?
How did you know where they were?
I found it.
Well, I called the cops.
They've been looking for her all night.
Oh.
How did you know she wasn't at her friend's house?
You just had a hunch?
Just mama's hunch?
Oh, the friend's mom.
Oh, that's right.
You went to the friend's mom's house.
OK. But like, what made you go to the friend's mom oh that's right you went to the friend's mom's house okay
but like what made you go to the friend i think her mom texted you right no it took
her house yeah i know but i'm saying like how did you find it like why were you like where is jade
yeah like did you just have a hunch like you and that you were like let me go i thought she texted
you and asked about gabby i can't remember yeah but um the cops were looking for her all night so i was really worried yeah no for sure
as you should oh did you get your ass whooped yes yeah she literally i don't know if anybody
remembers what sharkisha did in that one video it was like a punch slap she literally just came at me
like only she only did did it one time but she
just came at me and just whacked me good face i was like what are you doing she was just so scared
like yeah she was literally like yeah what like what are you doing like i was just so young and
yeah they had an amber allow amber alert out for jade amber that night oh my god i didn't know and
i was just out just out. Just kicking it.
Just kicking it in a camper.
At some lady's house.
Like, I literally was so scared.
And the story isn't over.
So, I get out of the camper.
I just immediately start crying, whatever.
I get in the back of the seat.
And we were in my grandma's HHR.
And I guess my friend thought she was just good, like, just staying in the back of the seat and um we were in my grandma's HHR and I guess my friend thought she was just good like just staying in the camper and my mom was like so-and-so get your ass out here
and like told her to get in the car because her mom didn't know where she was either like I guess
she really didn't know but she thought it was funny because her mom was the type of mom like
she was always in it too like she like not really a good influence i
guess you could say right so she thought it was funny when my mom like asked where she was at and
she was probably like high off smoking or something and she just started laughing and that made my mom
like it just like really brought her because i think like my mom was just thinking like what if
we can never find her again you're over here laughing in my face like yeah like she was so scared so but I didn't know any of that I
didn't know they had an almost had an amber alert out like I didn't know anything yeah and um we go
and we drop her off and I just remember like going home and like running to my room and like crying
so are you grounded forever after that oh I was
like in trouble for a long time like a super long time that's crazy but sometimes it's necessary
because those are pivotal learning moments oh yeah for sure I just went through it with our
daughter she didn't have a phone for fucking eight months because she decided to send nudes
to people on snapchat and hit a snapchat from us for a year so needless to say when i found
the snapchat and went through it i was just fucking like okay kid you have sealed your fate
right she didn't have a snapchat or she didn't have any social media for eight months and but
now she'll never do it again exactly well you know never say never she's 14 but and she's our
kid so i can only imagine better now like but it seems like this time it's like a completely different kid you know so i'm like i'm loving it i'm just like oh please
stay like this you know like hopefully that was a really good learning lesson for her so i see
that you're really close with your mom is dad in the picture yes okay okay gotcha yeah because i
think i always hear about mom but i never hear about dad especially like online he's just very like he's mom said he's crazy yeah he's just he is crazy he just is a mess are you guys close are
you a daddy's girl are you a mommy's girl i think i'm both like i love them equally but i'm not like
oh i love my mom more yeah yeah i don't know gotcha but my parents are homebodies so they
don't ever really like like for me to get my mom to come well she wanted to come to Nashville
regardless but to get her out of the house like she was so excited and I was like excited too
because my parents literally never go anywhere yeah like it was up to me I wouldn't fucking go
anywhere either so I totally understand and totally fucking resonate with that.
Yeah.
All right.
So let's move forward.
You're growing up in what is the small town called?
Bun Level.
Bun Level.
Did you get pregnant with Prince before or after Hooters?
When did you start working at Hooters?
Okay.
What made you get involved with Hooters?
Okay. Because you definitely look like a Hooters girl yeah but you're like one of the
hotter ones thanks you're welcome yeah their standards kind of yeah it's great it's you know
what i feel like that about strippers too yeah like i feel like back in the day when i back in
my day when i was dancing the bitches were so hot dude and they were like top notch and now it's like
anybody can dance and you know fucking get the money girls we're not hating not hating at all but it's just it's just a different
level of shit for me working at hooters i'll get back to what you said but like i don't know like
i was so excited to get hired on because i thought it was like to like to get hired as a hooters girl
like you have to like make the mark and you have to like have the right things and like the
personality and the looks and all this other stuff but also like you have to keep up with it like
and that's what I was just excited about but even working at Hooters like I think it takes the fun
out when nobody cares anymore nobody cares how they look or whatever but like that's a part of
the job like is to look like the girl next door or whatever so when girls didn't it was like dang
like it's not even like you're not taking pride in even just the name yeah no i totally get hooters but i was like no i'm a
hooters girl like i loved it yeah but um so before i got pregnant i was so it's i'm gonna have to go
back all the way back to my first job my first job i got was when i was um 16 i got a job as
axbees and um i was a regular cashier.
And then I became a shift leader like after six months of working there.
And then I became a system manager when I was like 17.
So that happened.
And you got good work ethic.
It's the Virgo in you.
Like I always like everywhere that I've worked, I'm like, I have to like try to reach the next level.
You probably have a Capricorn somewhere in your chart, too.
I don't even know.
I'll have to do your birth chart for you yeah but um so i was working as axby's i became an assistant manager
and i was dating like what i thought was like my high school sweetheart whatever and we were
dating for like a year and then we had broken up because he was like cheating on me and um
i don't like to bring him up a lot because i feel like i've already talked about it so many times
that's how i feel about my fucking abusive relationship i'm like it's not my identity yeah
yeah but um so i was like i'm never getting back with him unless i'm pregnant i didn't know at the
time when i said that that i was nine weeks pregnant already and this is the guy that you
used to do the youtubes with yes i did see your youtube before yes so um does he have a name does he have a name are
we allowed to say it or no we'll just refer to him as baby daddy yeah okay gotcha so um she said um
no i'm like i don't know so um i don't even know why because i used to say his name all the time
myself but he's not really on social media so it just gets to a point where it's like you don't
want that to be your identity i've never said that my abuser's name the guy that i had was in the
abusive relationship with yeah it's just some preference yeah so i was nine weeks pregnant and
um i told him and i had like face time him and i was like i'm pregnant and he just looked at me
like blank stare like what do you mean you're pregnant like what like we're not even together
don't you love that guys are like what do you mean you're pregnant even though i'm sorry mom even though we've been banging
you know fucking getting it on right you know like how are you pregnant like i don't know
motherfucker how do you think you know that's literally and i was just like like i was crying
like hysterical because i was only when i got pregnant i was only 18 so i was like what the
freak am i gonna do like i'm in college I'm trying to like get my degree
like I what were you going to college for business administration what college were you going to
Campbell University okay gotcha yeah I ended up graduating I never stopped you left that part out
that's a big that's good yeah like that's very inspirational young women need to hear that
but like that's what I was like oh my god like i'm in college like what the heck am
i gonna do because i was like living in a dorm well no at the time i was living at an apartment
that was like really close to campus and i was going to classes like on campus so i was like
i'm gonna have to be walking around waddling like a little penguin pregnant on campus like what the
heck so we like met up the next day because i was like like where i had
called my friend i was like her name's geneva i was like geneva i'm freaking pregnant like what
am i gonna do to this she was like are you gonna keep it i said am i gonna what like because i was
only 18 and like the way i thought about like abortion before I don't like was completely like no like god forbid
don't like why would you do that so when she asked me I was like what did you just say
so I was like that wasn't even an option for me like in my head I was like uh yeah like what the
heck I laid down I did the thing so like whatever so like the next day I met up with my baby daddy
and um we went to CVvs and got like two more because
you know when you find out you're pregnant like you buy like seven or eight pregnancy tests just
to make sure you're like this i just want to know like i need a clear sign like that i'm pregnant
so i need to let it sink in when the shock wears off then you want to just i literally was like
what if it's what if it's a false positive right girl shut up but um so we went to the cvs and we got like prenatals
and like all this other stuff and um at the time like i said i was staying in an apartment that
was like close to my college um but i didn't want to like be pregnant by myself and like
us being different households so i was like there's probably a part of you that wanted to
have that family structure especially because my parents are still together i was like there's probably a part of you that wanted to have that family structure especially because my parents are still together i was like there's no way i'm about
to be a baby mama right single mom uh-uh like no yeah which is so ironic now but um crushing it
so we ended up getting a place together in december i found out that i was pregnant in august
so it took us a while to save up our money um because i was only a manager i was only making like 12 an hour as a manager were you still going
to school during this time yes i never stopped going to school like once i found i was pregnant
i was like i have to finish like i have to prove everyone wrong because i knew that being pregnant
at a young age like people were gonna be like oh this girl like especially the fact that i was in
an interracial relationship in like the south and i was pregnant in college like everyone from like
where i was from was just like what the heck and i was like i have to graduate like if anything
i have to freaking graduate so yeah i love that though yeah I was like determined but like that's
one thing about me like if I say I'm gonna do something like I don't care how long it takes
I'm gonna do it right um so I actually like took freaking pictures for my graduation that I still
haven't even posted I bought my own like pink habit gown and everything and it's like so pink
how to be pink yes of course have you always been obsessed with the color yes yes okay and I don't
know where like why
like mine's red so i get it i'm the same way your car is so pretty thank you thank you so much i was
like oh my gosh but um it's the elton john of g wagons when i was getting designed i was like
just make it fucking ridiculous and red yes that's how i feel about pink but since princess so young
and a boy i'm like i like i've already gone so overboard. I'm like, I got to chill out for a little bit.
I think he gets it though. You know, kids get it at that young age.
He knows it's my favorite color. So he's just like, whatever. But I literally forgot where I
was at. So you were talking about how you still stayed in school. You guys finally got the
apartment in December. Okay. So we were like living together or whatever. So excited to have
Prince. we would like
count down on this little whiteboard of like the days of when he was gonna come
and a lot of people asked me like where did you get Prince's name from and literally this sounds
so bad but when I was in college like I didn't want any names because like when you're picking
out baby names like and you hear something that was like somebody you knew you're like no like I don't want that name that even if it was a cute name you're like
I hate when people name babies like grown-ass men name like Walt you know like this is my son Walt
you know like you had nine months I know and that's what you fucking came up with and you're
stuck with that for the rest no offense to people named Walt okay rest. No offense to people named Walt. Okay. I know.
No offense to people named Walt, but come on.
You don't want to see a little nine month old named Walt.
You know, it's just weird.
This is fucking weird.
That's what I'm saying.
So.
Or Harold.
You know, like, like be so cruel.
That's weird.
But, um, so I was like in class and I'm like trying to come up with baby names not in class but like
at the time like in my life i was looking for baby names or whatever and i just hear like a name here
in college like this guy that i was went to class with which i like didn't even talk to him whatever
and his name was prince and i was like oh my god and i didn't know that it was, like, a common name at the time. Yeah.
But I was like, that name is iconic.
So I'm snatching it.
So I had Prince. She's like, no, mine.
Right.
And then there was another person who, another guy that was at my college,
and his name was Zaire.
And I didn't know him either at the time.
And I was like, I'm stealing that one, too.
I just put Prince and Zaire together together and now it's prince zire and i thought it was like the cutest name ever but like the story one is kind
of like what no it is cute though but you know that's how did you get jade's name i just came
yeah like i'm sure something inspired it though like that's how people that's how people
pick their kids names right there i was named after a fucking boat a yacht that my dad liked like thanks dad you know
like so it's like people just you see things and you're just like you know what i'm gonna name my
fucking kid that so i mean what you did is normal yeah it's beautiful i love the name jade i have a
friend named jade that i've grown up with and i've always loved her name yeah yes and i love my name
too that's the thing like i would be so sad if i like didn't like my name the name is actually you can
brand the fuck out of that jade amber yes like you could do so many fucking things with that
i know so i mean and we'll get into that too right all right so you picked out prince's name
what happens next okay so we end up um i'm like super pregnant working at zaxby's like 40 hours a week like i already have crank
cankles anyways like if anybody knows what um i forgot what her name is from lulo and stitch nina
or something like that um if you see what her body type is like the way her leg literally just goes
into a foot oh that's me and when i was pregnant it was like crazy fat like oh my gosh retaining hell of water yes
nothing about pregnancy i've never had kids vaginally i have you know my bonus baby right
nothing about pregnancy is attractive to me like everything changes i started getting spider veins
and it reminded me of like when i was in seventh grade i had this teacher her name was miss bivins
and my friend like literally called her cottage cheese legs and now it's like coming to bite me oh oh well
everybody has cottage cheese baby everybody no but like she had like spider veins everywhere
and then like when i was pregnant i was like uh-uh not me turning into miss bivins oh no
listen i learned out of there i learned that whatever i made fun of when i was younger
as i got older yeah started fucking happening to me so nowadays i don't like talking about
about people no me either dude i'm like oh i love jesus yep i'm not gonna talk bad about
especially when i was pregnant i was like gonna say a like not even though like you know how like
you'd be talking with your friends you're like like that's so funny nope no the universe has a funny way of bringing it right back dude it's crazy i was like no so i was
working at um zaxby's so much like it would get to the point where like whenever i would get home
i would still be in my uniform and we had to wear like red collared shirts and my stomach like you
would be able to see like the bottom of my stomach like out and i would just get really big yes i
don't think i've ever seen pregnancy pictures have you posted them yeah i have before
a couple of times but um i don't really have that many videos or anything yeah but i would like get
home and just like flop on the couch and like cry because my feet and ankles would hurt so bad
because i was working so freaking much so i literally worked up until i was like at least
like a week before i had prince
like the whole freaking time because exactities don't have no freaking what is it called maternity
leave like they don't have that so i have prince and like i'm literally in the hospital
with my laptop like after i gave birth to him like had so many emotions like postpartum depression
was so like real for me i was just like
battled from postpartum tell me how you were not um in the way where like you know some women have
like suicidal thoughts or like really really like dark thoughts like that it was more so just like
who am i what is going on like what the heck kind of like an identity crisis yes i was so like i was
so happy that he was there yeah yeah i was
so happy to have him but i was also just like what is going on like especially when i got home like
i just remember the feeling now of thinking of like being in the hospital for three days i felt
like the walls were freaking caving in on me and like you just have to like write down every time
he eats and like all this other stuff and i'm'm not the type of person to be super organized and write all this stuff down.
So I'm just like, I don't know.
He was just on my boob for hours at a time because I didn't even know how to breastfeed or anything.
I didn't even do any research.
I just went into it so blindly.
Mom, how did you feel whenever she got pregnant?
Was it hard for you, your baby having a baby?
I was a little upset at first,
but he is. He's your baby. Yeah. He's cute too. He's got lots of personality. Yes. He's amazing.
He's literally so easygoing. Like when's his birthday? His birthday is March 19th. He's a
Pisces. He's a Pisces Aries. He's on the cusp. And he is so like mom's over here just i know like all of my family like loves him
just as much as i do because he's just so chill he's just like a little chill human being like
i don't know what i would have done if he was like super like hyperactive like bouncing off
the walls like a tasmanian devil like just running around like he's literally just so content in his
own little world and like he'll come up and like show you stuff and like he's just so very relaxed with him when you were pregnant um like as far as
like emotions and stuff or were you going through anything i want to say yeah i was like at first i
wasn't because i went from leaving this guy who was cheating on me who i was like madly in love
with but i was like i'm over this like what the heck um and then i don't even know like so did you guys stay together the whole pregnancy
yes because you guys moved in with each other in december and then so was he there at the birth
and very active he was there okay he literally like bawled crying like he's a he's a dramatic
crier and he literally like made the doctor cry like he was like screaming crying like yeah oh yeah he's a good dad though but um yeah i don't know prince is just so you had prince
and you're going through the postpartum and you know you're trying to figure out you know which
way to go how are you and him doing are you guys still good after he's born yeah we were good
um lead me but whenever I had him it was like um I think it was still when like how it is now where
it gets like darker earlier and I was at home with him like throughout maternity leave obviously
and it just felt like my days were going by so fast and I was like everything was going on.
I had so much homework that like I was like trying to be caught up on or whatever.
I'm trying to learn how to breastfeed.
Like I didn't even know anything about breastfeeding.
Literally when I had Prince, like he came out like a baby bird with his mouth wide open, like ready to hop on.
And I was like, Mom, what do I do?
She's never breastfed.
She said, I don't know.
Put him on there.
I put him on there.
Mom.
Thanks, Mom. was like mom what do i do she's never breastfed she said i don't know put him on there i put him on there mom but thanks mom prince he was like such a good breastfeeder too but it was really hard like after first having him and being in school and also after i had prince um my teachers
let me do like online work because i was like going on campus and stuff and so that like having
classes on campus and online you would think
like online classes are easier but you have so much more work so it was just like a complete
freaking just overload yes like overload seriously yeah because you're a new mom you're figuring it
out you're back in together in this relationship you're dealing with all your hormones settling
you're working full-time right or know, were you still working full time?
Yeah.
Because they didn't have maternity leave.
And then you're doing classes.
That's a lot to take on at such a young age.
It was so much.
And you're 18, right?
Yes.
Yeah.
Well, I was 19 when I had him, but I was 18 when I got pregnant.
So when did you, moving forward, when you stayed in school, did you end up graduating?
Yes.
Good.
I know.
I'm so, like, proud of myself for graduating but um
then after i had prince a couple months after i want to say that coming like september i had
started at walmart and then i um got i used to make tiktok videos literally everyone's like how
do you start tiktok i'm like post anything like people will watch anything yeah i used to be a
fresh cap associate which is um
somebody who works in like the fruits and vegetables bakery or the meat department right i
never knew that and yeah so they would have me me and the freaking putting away bananas and all this
other stuff i would make transition videos of like a before and after of when i stocked stuff
and i would also like be in bakery yes i would be in bakery and they would
throw away well not really throw away they gave it to like pigs or something right um all the like
expired like bakery goods and stuff and i would be scared to be out behind walmart like by the
dumpsters by myself because that's where all the creepy people go right and i would i just started
making videos dumpster diving in a fucking walmart trashmart i've seen it myself yes it's crazy it's disgusting and i just started making videos like i literally
just started talking to the camera of me dumping out rotten tomatoes and like all the stuff so
that's when you started your online thing was literally just vlogging your days at walmart yes
okay and like other stuff
too here and there like the trending sounds and stuff right um but then after working at walmart
i was just like like some one of my friends um her name's tina she was working at hooters and um
my birthday had came up a year after i was working at walmart so i was working at walmart for a year
i became a manager over the truck on load which I was only a manager for like five months I was like over a whole bunch of guys in the back
so that was like really hard because oh I bet they love that men don't respect women at all
especially in a job like that yeah um but then I was like I was making $15 an hour at the time
whenever I was a manager and my friend Tina was telling me on my birthday about how Hooters was
so fun and there was like all these like regulations to stuff and I was like I don't
care like you get to look cute I'm over here in a Walmart vest like opening up a truck unload
using a pallet jack an electric pallet jack moving stuff around like I'm Bob the Builder like I don't
like this at all yeah I feel like I can't see Jade doing manual labor oh my god when you see the videos it's like what are you doing you'll have to send
me some of them it's so embarrassing like oh my gosh that's part of your journey dude and that's
what like you deserve to be what you are what you're doing now because you literally worked
your ass off to do it and that's the thing like when you get to that point people are like oh she
just stays at home whatever I'm like do you know how hard and long I've worked to get here, bro? And let's
talk about real quick, being a content creator. Everybody's like, Oh, you just make videos.
If it's so easy, why aren't you doing it? That's why I made that video. Why don't you have millions
of followers? It's not easy. Like any sort of online social work, social media work is not easy editing. I mean, my manager hates me
today because literally we are like, we have so much content. We're so backed up. None of us have
gotten a break. Like it's it, people don't realize it's literally you're, you live your life on
camera and we're not complaining, you know, but it's like, there's some times where it just,
it's overwhelming and it's a lot and people don't realize that.
So when people try to discredit all of us, I'm just like, no, bro, I'm not going to let that happen.
Don't get us wrong. Like there's so many pros.
But you have to work to like you have to put in the work.
It's a job. Right. Yeah. It's a job. It is a full time fucking job.
And we don't get any days off. No, we don't get. I mean, if we want if we want them we can have them but i mean then views go down and fucking right you know you have to
stay relevant too like if you're just doing tiktok it's gonna be way easier to be a content creator
just doing tiktok if you're not doing youtube and instagram and all this other stuff like i
edit my youtube videos myself when i tell you i hate editing days because it takes me
like five to six hours you might need to hire an editor i know i do need to yeah you should that's
what i i finally had to do it my my manager was finally like dude you gotta it's time my husband
was like you've got to stop carrying this all on your shoulders because i was doing it all myself
too and then i just constructed a team around me and i just have an amazing team who believes in
the vision and they help and it but you can get so much more work done that way because you have people helping you yes for sure
but it's definitely like it's give and take you guys we're all just a fluid you know right machine
so whenever you get to that point you should probably find like a little homie that'll work
with you and start helping you edit stuff because then that takes more that gives you more time to
be the creator right I definitely do need to do that so let's rewind back real quick you were at walmart you were
fucking running dudes and fucking lifting pallets and fucking vlogging and shit your friend said to
come to hooters you went to hooters and what happened yeah so i started working at hooters
and that was when my first viral video ever happened because i was like you guys like i
have my first interview at hooters like was like you guys like I have my first
interview at Hooters like oh they love the Hooters girls on TikTok oh my god yes I love them I follow
like 10 of them me too yes so I posted about like my interview and like what my manager which wasn't
my manager yet I just had an interview by him like what he was asking me and all this stuff
and before I had my interview I was watching videos of like Hooters Girls and like just hearing like your hair has to look like
this your hair has to be this color your nails have to look like this your makeup like the rules
and regulations to like Hooters Girl I was so fascinated like I don't even know why but I was
and um and then I started and it was literally one of the best jobs that I've ever had like
obviously I got tired there were so many times I was so burnt out it's so much work being a server
but like being around girls especially like girls who love like makeup and looking cute and like
making money like it was so freaking fun and sometimes like when I am at home all day or
whatever making content I'm like dang like that was. But it was so hard because like my whole family works too. And like, I didn't like, if I didn't have my little brother,
my mom at the time, whenever I was working a lot, like at Hooters and Walmart, like I wouldn't have
been able to go work because I wouldn't have had a babysitter. And I do not trust anyone with
friends. So did you guys split before you went to Hooters or were you guys still together?
So right before I started working at Hooters or were you guys still together so right
before i started working at hooters we had broken up because it was like the straw that broke the
camel's back like yeah just you know like when something happens you're like okay like next time
i'm gonna leave right and you just keep saying you're saying saying i was like you know what
and then some days it's like they didn't even make the bed right and you're like you know what i don't
want to fucking be with you no but it's like literally like a series of shit
that fucking leads up to that moment i do that with everything in my life i literally will fucking
go through so much shit with somebody and then they'll fucking sneeze the wrong way and i'll be
like you know what get the fuck out of here like i don't want to deal with it with everything i'm
like just please move yeah but um it was that i got the ick no literally but like i was so like madly in love
with him for so long so like to get to that point i was like wait you're not even all that like the
like blind love thing like had completely like gone out the window yeah and i didn't tell my
parents about anything that he did to me the whole time was it abusive no just like cheating like a womanizer
like just in love with just talking to other women like that's hurtful yeah but i didn't want like
anyone to know because i'm like embarrassing yeah i'm like and i didn't want them to treat him any
type of way because we were together for so long right and um then like of you yeah i'm
serious i wasn't being condescending and then this um one thing happened and i didn't say anything to
him but it was like for the like last three months of our relationship what was the one thing that
happened um we were at walmart and there was this girl and he was like oh like i know her from church
or whatever i was like oh why don't you go say hi? Cause like, I didn't care. Like if you know her from church, like
that's a friend, like go say, Hey, like, don't be weird. So he didn't go say anything. He was like,
no, I think it'd be weird if I say something, whatever. So I was like, okay, whatever. And
this wasn't one of the worst situations, but this was like one of the times where I was like, okay,
this is never ending. But, um, so it was like, he started times i was like okay this is never ending but um so it was like
he started acting really weird which is what he always did when he was like talking to other women
online and one time he was in the shower and i did what like i would like to say a lot of girls do
but some probably don't i went on his phone every bitch in america has gone through their man's phone
and if they said they don't they're a fucking liar right so I like I just can't I can't with the girls who are like I don't do that
and I'm like I go through my man's phone still and we're married seven years and I love that
motherfucker and I know he's never gonna fucking hurt me again like he did right so it's like
fucking I still will go through his phone anytime I'll fucking peek over while I'm in bed you know
like I don't care.
There's no shame in that.
Like we're females.
We're curious.
It's just what we do.
So he was in the shower and I was like looking and he was talking to the girl on Snapchat and I like clicked on it.
I hate Snapchat.
And she had like messaged him and she was like, hey, like I had just seen you in Walmart
or whatever.
He was like, yeah, I know.
I was going gonna say hi and she was like yeah i was gonna say hi too but it would have been weird or something like that and then um there was like some messages that were deleted
because you know snapchat unless you save it like it's gone there were some messages that were
deleted and then they were like catching up talking about hanging out and all this stuff
and i can't remember
exactly because it's been so long but he had sent her like heart emojis and all this other stuff
and they were just talking about like like hanging out and like just doing stuff and like
she sent her number to him and like i was just like what the heck and we were in walmart with
our son too so i was just like this is so embarrassing
like you're over here and then we had seen her again and this was like after they had sent the
messages but i didn't know what she looked like right so they were like over there like eyeing
each other and i'm over there picking out bananas like just weird just disrespectful yeah and it
just made me feel so stupid like this is never going to end because it was always like small
things like that and some were like worse than others but like we agree that men that have snapchat is a fucking walking red flag no
actually or like when they ask you for your snapchat yeah i think there's nothing i mean
i'm not in the fucking dating game but if any dude ever if i ever had to go back in the dating
game and a dude was like hey what's your snapchat i'd be like no dude no fuck no like i think like
people who have snapchat it's all for creepy reasons yeah it's never for a
good reason you're doing fucked up shit I don't care who you are right it's just unless you know
it's like you know some of us um online girls have to have snapchats for our only fans and stuff like
that and literally it's just for fucking dudes to be creepy on you know so it's like it just all
ties in together yeah yeah so that happened and um I know I had my first ever like full blown anxiety attack like because
my mom has terrible anxiety which i didn't know when i was younger because i didn't know what
anxiety was until after i had prince because i feel like after you have a kid there's like this
type of anxiety that just comes that like never leaves or maybe it's just when you get older
there's like a certain anxiety that comes with adulting that just never leaves i'm 23 so i didn't start having my first panic attacks
until i was around your age too i think like when you're younger like you get to just live like your
glory days and nothing bothers you and then like i don't i don't want to say that it's like your
mortality comes into play but you're just more aware as you get older you know and I think also if your mom
has it my mom you know rest in peace has had the worst anxiety ever so I think it's just an
hereditary thing right so yeah but I never used to think about it so I was just like oh I'm not
gonna get anxiety girl you're wrong but um so he came out of the shower and I was just like
like didn't say anything he could tell something was wrong and he was like what the shower and I was just like, like, didn't say anything. He could tell something was wrong.
And he was like, what?
And then I was like, who is so-and-so?
And he was like, I don't know.
And I was like, it's literally right here.
What are you talking about?
And I would have to, like, take a picture on my phone from his because he was the type, like, I don't know what you're talking about.
I don't see.
Like, literally, like, would act like it's not right there in front of his face and i was like okay so we were laying in the bed together
before he got in the shower and he was like getting dressed and i just went in the living room
and slept on the couch i was like just leave me alone like literally just leave me alone
and i was just like sitting there crying and then like he like pulled me into the room because he
was like trying to like jade stop
like it's fine and i was like no like i told you like i'm done like you don't care you obviously
have some type of problem with like fantasizing over women online or having just some type of
whatever and he was literally just like denying the whole thing and it got to the point where i was just like screaming crying like how are you gonna sit here and tell me that you don't love other women or
have some type of like fantasy for them when it's literally happens every couple months like it's an
ego thing yes like they need their ego stroked or something and like that's the thing like he would
go months without doing it and then he would do it again and i'm like that defeats the purpose of like are you not doing it for
brownie points like i'm confused it's the thrill of the chase they just need excitement yeah it's
like they just it's i it's almost like the thrill of getting caught right like they want to get
caught they don't want to get caught but they do want to get caught you know so it's some weird
thing that fucking dudes when you stay time and time again they don't ever think you're going to
leave that's why i always tell girls like and i see it because i've been through it now
but i'm like girl he's not going to change like i don't know what you have in your head
i don't know happens one day though when people are done literally you're done but it's like they
have to go through it themselves so many of my friends are going through that and it literally
just because i've already been through it like already because I was so young I'm just like girl like oh you just don't understand like that breakthrough when you
finally leave like you were just gonna be so happy that you did oh amazing so let's move on so you
start you were working at Hooters how's that going for you so whenever we had broken up um
and his dad left for the military and it was just me and prince and i was working at hooters
and i would literally you said his dad left for the military okay gotcha like right and that was
another thing because he was like about to get i didn't leave him because he was going to the
military i left because of everything he had done in the past i just had built up and then i was
like and you're going into the military and everybody knows about the military i was just about to say i was about to say he fits the bill so yeah so i was like i'd rather not military wives man
respect to the military wives that can know for real like kudos because they're the fucking
strong bitches in the world like ever no i've heard some stories it's crazy and it's so sad
yeah so you got you're working at hooters and you're just crushing it and fucking having
a blast and you're, you went viral.
So is this, you're vlogging everything also?
So like, that's how I got a lot of my following was from the Hooters interview.
And then like everyone wanted to know every step of like, okay, so if you got an interview,
what was after that?
So then it was orientation.
And then I would talk about the uniform guidelines and the hacks for the pantyhose. step of like okay so if you got an interview what was after that so then it was orientation and then
i would talk about the uniform guidelines and the hacks for the pantyhose spraying hairspray on my
pantyhose and i would do videos of like we're getting ready were girls doing this online
already or do you feel like you were the pioneer in doing i never when i was at hooters um because
i was working at hooters two years ago right tiktok was completely different two years ago too
it was mostly dancing i didn't care i was doing videos like i do now like get ready with me like i didn't
see anybody doing like get ready with me for hooters or whatever right and there were so many
girls that like were like i just i just got hired to hooters because you would have made me so happy
because i'm like there's so many girls that think they can't do it too and i'm like yeah you literally
can you're beautiful what are you talking about like you need to stop working at home depot go yeah go to hooters go baby go yes live your best
life and so i was just making videos of me like getting ready and like they would just blow up
and then there was this one video that also blew up that's what everyone's there they always ask
me like how did you go viral i'm like i had like many viral videos like all the time that i guess
just like built up over time and there was this one video where I was like struggling to get into the freaking Hooters shirt.
And at the time I was also 30 pounds heavier and I was still squeezing a small somehow.
And I literally was just like trying to get it over like my neck and onto my body.
And it was just so much.
And Prince was also in the video just like looking up at me.
And like that video blew up but after um I was working at that Hooters for a while I had moved to Charlotte because I had graduated from college um last year yeah in um November doing online
classes so I was also going to college while I worked at Walmart while I was at Hooters like
I was in school for so long
that when i finally graduated i was like this is what it feels like to have nothing to do
no because you're so busy for so long yes so now i'm like dang like that's how i am on when we have
too much downtime i'm always like what what are we doing i know i'm like i don't have a goal that
i'm striving towards what is happening yes and my manager will be like you need to just fucking relax and I'm like I'm not doing anything with
my life like I don't know how like I don't know what to do with this but um and I think about that
all the time now because my life used to be so crazy and so busy because like I would get up in
the morning and like hurry up and rush and I would get Prince ready get his diaper bag ready and I
would go to my mom's house and my
little brother thank god for him at the time it was like summertime he would like watch him
um and my mom would she worked a night shift so she would be there too um and then I would
go to Hooters and then I would come back and like come home get undressed do my freaking homework
take a shower and do it all over again
and like it was just like this long thing but then whenever i graduated college i was like i
don't want to be here anymore like i want to go to charlotte and i want to see the world yeah
even if it's a fucking city up or whatever right it's still just a different environment yes yeah
so then i started working at the um charlotte hooters and that was
so fun i met so many like millionaires for the first time sorry i'm smashing chachi's head down
chachi smells the food his little tongue i'm like so cute
oh my god he's always on camera doing some weird shit sorry i didn't mean to interrupt you so you moved to charlotte when do you start doing social media
full-time like you're that's what you're doing now it's social media full-time so i don't even
know are you on the creator fund for tiktok yes i don't know how you do it because they fucking i
get in trouble every time i'm on the fucking creator fund, I'm getting flagged. They're fucking like trying to ban me.
Like it's fucking bullshit, dude.
I've been through hell and back with TikTok.
Like truly.
I remember when you got banned and I was like, girl, you're going to get it back.
Don't trip.
But I've got my account taken three times.
And there's certain creators like it's never been taken.
And I'm like, you lucky, lucky.
Yeah, I don't know how, because there's some creators that are like literally just fucking buttholes shaking and i'm just like how do you guys and i post a video
of me in a fucking bathing suit right literally i'm just now allowed to wear bikinis like literally
and i've had my account fucking two years like it's crazy so i don't know how some of these girls
get away with what they do shout out to them because you guys are the fucking chosen ones okay
um so i was in charlotte and
i was working at hooters but then i got fired one day oh no because how do you get fired from
hooters i know and it sucks because like hooters was following me on tiktok and everything like
we were having conversations like dang what happened yeah but they're mad now because look
you're like how great you're doing you know so ho Hooters of America had called Hooters and I was one to answer the phone like, hello,
this is Hooters of blah, blah, blah, Charlotte.
They're like, can I speak to the manager on duty?
So I give them the phone.
I'm like, that's weird.
Like, why would Hooters of America be calling?
That's so weird.
And I didn't think anything of it.
And then like.
I love how there are Hooters of America, Hooters of Charlotte.
Right.
It's like very official titles. So I'm like bartending and i'm just starting to think like what am i in trouble like
i don't know like you know like when something happens and you're like wait am i the reason
so um there was this video right there was this video that i had posted about um this customer
who i can't even remember the situation i am so bad with like certain
details like it literally just like leaves my brain like the exact details of stuff right i'm
like i can tell it right after it happens but like once that happens like i don't even know anymore
right but basically he was just being very snarky very like rude not the snarky. Yes. Oh, I hate that word. He was just being very like,
like a smart ass. Yeah. I don't even remember what it was about, but it was about tipping.
Like he was like, what if I tipped you this 10 cents right here or something like that?
Just being condescending and fucking disrespectful. Yeah. Ew. Like what the heck?
I can't even remember exactly what it was about. I have videos on YouTube and
TikTok, but it was something about the tipping and he was just being an asshole basically. Right. So
I made a video about it and I called him a dick because he was, and he always came in there and
I still remember his order kind of to this day. He wanted like 10, um, breaded hot wings, extra wet,
like super wet. And like, like he he would be like i want them super wet
like dripping and one time like i would give him the wings that he asked for with the sauce
literally falling off like they're just swimming in there yeah and he started wiping off the sauce
with a napkin but that's what he asked me for like and that was just like one of the situations
some dudes get off on being abusive to girls oh yeah you know especially a girl like hooters girls strippers and yes we used to love it because they're like oh i get to talk being abusive to girls. Oh, yeah. For sure. Especially a girl like Hooters girls, strippers.
Yes.
They love it.
Because they're like, oh, I get to talk like me to a pretty girl.
Yeah.
We used to have guys.
I used to have guys who would pay me to do that.
But then I also used to have customers that would come in the strip club to do that, too.
That's so crazy.
Yeah.
It's a weird thing.
But so he did that.
And like, I've done that so many times with like certain customers.
But the reason why I got fired is because I was in my hooters uniform and i was talking about a situation which was fine
until i called him a dick and that's what got me fired they were just looking which is so crazy
to me because i've been a hooters advocate since day one i made videos about how to get hired at
hooters like i was a hooters girl, like advocate, seriously.
So when I got fired.
You put them on TikTok, you know, with your videos that went viral.
They should appreciate all of that social media exposure from all the girls who do it.
Like I took so much pride.
Because none of you guys have to do that.
And you guys do that on your own.
Because there's this other Hooters girl that I follow.
I forget her name.
She's super cute.
Short, really tiny, short blonde hair.
And she's like, I don't know who she is.
Fucking, but she's a cutie pie. I think I know who you're who you're talking about like literally she makes me want to be a hooters
girl and i'm fucking 85 years old you know but it's like it's so funny because it's like you
guys literally are using your platforms to boost their business right which is a dying business
let's keep it real hooters is falling off the map i never talked about the food sucks by the way
oh yeah the food is not so fire me hooters yeah the thing is like i never talked about the food sucks by the way oh yeah the food is not so fire
me hooters yeah the thing is like i never talked about like the bad or like ins and outs of hooters
until they fired me and so i was like okay i'm gonna make a video about what it's really like
working in hooters even though i loved working there obviously there's pros and cons to every
place um so the my manager had came out and he was like we need you to take this video down now um
they said that they're gonna have discussed it like in corporate office and I don't think
anything's gonna happen but I'm just letting you know like you're gonna have to take that down
because they said that's like a huge no-no I'm like okay oh my god so like i hurry up and i take it down and um i was off for the next two days and
my manager um starts calling me and i already knew it like as soon as i seen the call i was like
they're about to freaking fire me and i was already gonna leave hooters like a couple months after
because i had started working at like a nighttime like club bar which i was making so much more
money and i didn't want to leave hooters but it was exhausting and Charlotte was nowhere near how Fayetteville was like it was
not as good so I got fired like on my day off and she was like I'm sorry like I tried to fight for
you whatever whatever like I'm so sorry because she knows like how much I love working there
yeah and I was just like dang like this is so crazy but but the silver lining
is is that when you started doing social media full-time yeah so I started working at this other
bar um and making more money and I'll go live and um I was doing that and social media and then um
I ended up moving back to um like closer to Raleigh where I live now and that was in
May of this year and I was like when I moved back like I'm not going to be as close to my parents
like how am I going to work and I was like I'm just about to take the leap of faith and I'm just
about to freaking do social media yeah and like all my family would be like what are you gonna do
like you're talking about doing social media full-time like how are you even gonna do that
yeah and it was a little rough at first I was like um what am I doing like I would get so stressed
out answering emails with like sponsorships and stuff and like I was so like overwhelmed but I was
like making like I make more than like I've ever made now.
Cause I'm like, and I'm like, what if I never took that leap of faith? Like,
what if I just stayed working at that bar? Even if nobody believes in you,
you got to always believe in yourself. How do you feel about it now, mom?
Now that she's doing, yeah. Yeah. It's crazy to watch what she's felt. Right.
And I think it's amazing. You know, people, there's that website that we will, we shall, uh, shall remain unnamed.
And it's like, people will pick apart.
I don't go on there.
I went on there whenever fucking dims came on and fucking, uh, yeah, it was enough for
me.
So I won't go on there, but you know, I feel like those people over there always have bad
things to say about people, but literally the love outweighs the
hate because it's like I tell everybody that comes on the podcast we all have like our own little
cult followings that just love us and right literally just wake up every day to watch what
we do right and I think it's a beautiful thing you know to watch what you've built especially
doing vlogs and stuff like that because not a lot of people do those i've always been a vlogger too except i did it on youtube too and then i just started slowly
bringing it over to tiktok which now i won't even vlog on fucking youtube it's so much easier on
tiktok yeah and youtube silences silences me and you know fucking that's so annoying just like
always censors me i'm always in trouble um but how has tiktok changed your life like literally in so many ways like i'm so grateful
and i never like thought i would hit a million i never thought i would hit two million and i
hit two million like overnight like i hit one million and then it was like yeah there was a
minute where you were literally growing i know i was like what the heck is going on yeah and it
literally came from and like that's the thing when you're a content creator you have to pay
attention to what they want to see and like obviously do what you love as well but like
what they want to see and like one of the things was like me going to like marshalls or ross or
like whatever and finding like the pink glittery like cheap juicy couture like and everyone would
just and like now everyone's like on a hunt like let me go into burlington and see what i can find
they post videos and like it's just so i think that was one of my things that that drew me to you because everything that you
love is my era you know like the playboy bunnies the pink the right like all the stuff your whole
i guess they call it what now y2k aesthetic is what it's called some call it like mcbling
trashy mcbling i love that that's awesome no i love it though and like this is all the rhinestones all
of it like i love it it doesn't suit everybody and that's the thing like some people come on
there like susan i'm so sorry that my aesthetic doesn't match you're like pioneer woman yeah like
not the pioneer woman she was doing a signing one time we were on tour and she was doing a signing at a Walmart one time.
And let me tell you something.
Those Pioneer women fucking that fan base is mean.
Oh, that's what I'm saying.
If you cut them in line, they will fucking shank you with a pot, dude.
Like they do not give a fuck.
They'll hit you in the head with a fucking Pioneer woman frying pan.
They don't give a shit, dude.
I was like, I never even knew what a Pioneer woman was until that fucking happened.
But it's like a whole cult for real so 2023 is coming up what does jade amber want to do in 2023 so i
want to start my own business and right now i'm like in between like what exactly i want to do
like i'm like do i want to do merch but at the same time i'm like no like i want my own like
shop like i just want like a whole bunch of stuff honestly like we got to start somewhere
yeah always start somewhere and just keep building yeah um don't miss out on the bag you know don't
right there's a saying that my husband says and i can't fucking remember it it's like don't get
in the way of perfect by trying to do perfection right like you're gonna have to start at some
point it's not right but that's like when you started youtube whatever like i was i started
on my phone yeah and people were still watching it and now like i use a camera yeah it's like it's not right but that's like when you started youtube whatever like i was i started on my phone yeah and people were still watching it and now like i use a camera yeah it's like it's i'm going
through that right now with our vlogs literally me and mimi had this conversation today because
i'm trying to hire a new videographer for our team and i was just like i don't like this and
i was like you know what i'll just fucking pay somebody to follow us around with a camera phone
she's like no bitch it's time to elevate you know yeah but you have to start somewhere and that's
what like I've been telling myself so I'm like in the process I've been doing like my research on
like trademarking a lot of stuff but then like I was like getting scared because there's a whole
bunch of like legal stuff and I'm like I have to get an attorney like what like I'm just like so
confused yeah but that it's so easy and actually a trademark attorney reached out to me on TikTok
I'll give you her page okay and you know maybe just because we're all kindred spirits on tiktok you know maybe she can help you with that right
but yeah i definitely want to have like my own shop and like at some point in time like i want
to have meet and greets now that covid it's not over but like that has calmed down right but like
i want to meet my supporters face face i want to know like oh my god you're the girl that's like
literally commenting on every video like that i've ever made and like do stuff like that and I want to like get on YouTube more but
I don't know some people say they want me to have a podcast but I say like and um too much why do it
what do you mean like do it literally it'll become your whole little like steez so I know I'm like I
don't even know I say what I would talk about though girl i think you
got enough to talk about right you'll have no problem just put a mic in front of you you'll
be fine right but yeah so those are my plans for 2023 i don't really have any other like crazy
plans though but i do want to start traveling and stuff since like me and prince like we have all
the time in the world almost but yeah and especially like once prince um he's like on a
waiting list for this really good preschool um which I didn't even know was a thing.
Like I didn't know daycares and preschools have like year.
Oh, no. It's crazy.
Yeah.
Yeah. Well, the good ones.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I went through that with our kid, too.
Yeah.
But it's so hard for me to do like a whole bunch of stuff when me and Prince are together all the time just because it's always just us.
And people like do it a day in a life, do it in a day life.
And I'm like, girl, we do the same thing every freaking day.
Like just because we're always together all the time.
They don't care.
They just want to see you.
They literally just want to see you.
Right.
But I think once Prince gets in preschool, like it'll be good for him because he loves other kids.
Like he's so good.
He's so nice. And he's almost like too nice to the point where like I'm like if they hit preschool, like, it'll be good for him because he loves other kids. Like, he's so good. He's so nice.
And he's almost, like, too nice to the point where, like, I'm like, if they hit you, you give them one chance.
Yeah.
You tell them don't do it again and they do it again.
You gotta do it because I'm like, like, these kids are freaking ruthless out here.
But he loves kids.
Like, whenever we went to go tour, like, his preschools and stuff, he's like, mom, I'm going to preschool.
Like, he's so freaking excited.
But I think, like, it'll be good for me and him yeah i think it'll be good for me and him
because like he'll get a break and be with his friends and then like i'll be able to like you
know go to the gym and like do like things alone and then i'll pick him up and then we can like
actually have quality time yeah i love it because we're together like a scheduled person i'm a
scheduled person too like i like to have like if i don't have like certain weeks when I don't write down like what I'm doing or what
I need to get done, like I just feel like trash.
No, I understand.
Like you're just kind of like a hot air balloon just going wherever.
I'm like, I don't even know what I'm going to do today.
Like what is going on?
No, I get the same way.
Yeah.
Well, Jade, it was really nice having you on, dude.
I can't wait to see.
I cannot wait to see what you do.
And I just love watching you and Prince every day.
Thank you so much.
And I just want you to keep doing what you're doing.
Don't let any of the outside noise ever bother you or affect what you're doing.
Yeah, I don't.
It used to.
But now I'm just like, yeah, you're going to talk.
It's fine.
Oh, yeah.
You just block it out.
And the thing is, is this is what I tell everybody.
We have to go looking for the negativity.
It barely touches us
you know like if anything we get like what 10 comments right you know that are fucking derogatory
other than that unless we go looking for it we don't see it so that should tell you how
farther reach goes right you know so it's like whatever we're still winning bitches
so well why don't you shout out where everybody can find you on social media
so they're all jade
amber but there's a couple r's and not so many r's for other ones so my instagram is jade amber
with four r's my tiktok is jade dot amber with five if you look up jade amber it'll pop up yeah
but um and my youtube is just jade amber and what about an only fans we ever gonna see jay dan brown only fans mom's like so many people
mom mom we ever gonna see you on an only fans she she's literally told me before like if i was your
age yeah you could i know she's beautiful i've thought about it before but i'm just like i don't
i just don't think i i'm like built for it yeah had to be strong like yeah real strong like i'm strong
but i don't know i'm that strong it's a different it's a different uh walk of life too and if you
don't have to do it don't do it right but i just had to ask that question because i know
