Hey, everybody, welcome to Off the Vine.
I'm your host, Caitlin Bristow.
And today we have the hilarious Haley Bailey, as you would.
know her on all of her socials. She is not only a stunning model who's done Sports Illustrated
and Miss America and all of the things in New York Fashion Week, but she's also a scientist
and a digital creator with over 27 million followers. We talk all about how she comes up with her
viral ideas, how she studies the algorithm and makes it work. And she's just overall,
cute, funny little gal. Okay, first of all, I love that you grew up in the Midwest. There's
something about Midwest, Midwestern people that remind me of Canadians.
The accents. A little bit.
No, it's Spoon. Spoon? Spoon. Is that how you say it? Mm-hmm. Oh, did you watch the season of Love is Blind?
Yes. Did you know anybody? Yes, it was all Minneapolis. I didn't know anybody. I didn't know anybody. I think they were like one, a couple grades younger than me. Oh, I'm going to age myself. I mean, they were so much older than it.
So, no, I didn't know anyone, but I knew people who knew people. Yeah. This was the first season I watched were on TikTok. I was like, how does everybody in Minneapolis know who these people are?
Minneapolis is like a small
You're from Canada
Have you ever been to Minneapolis?
Yes, I have
It's like a small big city
I get that
So everyone knows everyone
If they did love is blind Nashville
I'm like everyone would know everyone
I'd want to watch that
I would want to watch that
I would want to watch that
I think it's a key
I thought there was going to be
Now they're doing Denver
I think is the next one
So they'll all just be
But I'm like do Nashville
Because I would have a field day
podcasting about that one
It would be so good
That would be fun
But what was like
Little Haley like growing up
in Minnesota?
Little Haley
I feel like I was probably the same way
I literally would just like film videos
with my mom or my sister in my room
So you always love doing this
Always but like no one was watching them
They were just like for my enjoyment
So I'd make like little news shows
I forget what we call it
We were like newscaster USA
And it was like my sister and me
We do these morning news reports
So little me I was a nerd
I was a huge nerd
Love that
My parents are both engineers
So I grew up in the sciences
So cool
Yep
Don't use it at all
Yay.
But you still have the nerd and you have it.
Yeah.
Still have it.
And I went to like a small little school.
I'm like such a stereotype.
It sounds like this stereotypical like small town girl.
Yes.
To New York City.
Living in a lonely world.
I took the midnight train going anywhere.
I do love that song that it's such a classic.
It is a classic.
So you grow, okay.
So wait, am I allowed to ask how old you are?
Yeah.
Yeah.
How old are you?
32.
Oh, you're 32.
Oh, you still baby.
I'm in my 30s.
30s are the best.
I'm 30. I'm 40 in like two months.
Yeah.
And I feel like 30s slay.
I feel like everyone told me 30s are awesome and I didn't believe them when I was in my 20s because I was like, oh, that's what you guys are saying to make you feel better about being 30.
But no.
But it's actually true.
My life literally started because your brain gets so much smarter.
It really does.
It's 27 is pivotal.
30 is just amazing.
And then it just keeps getting better.
I just had a girl that she studies the human design and she told me 50 is actually where I'll really start thriving.
And I was like, okay.
I'm a little nervous about that one.
Not even going to lie.
See, but I felt very like, I was like, okay, I thought you were going to tell me like 40 was it.
And then it was like, beroom.
I just hope we are the generation that, like, I just know one day they're going to figure out how to stop aging.
Well, tell your parents.
And there's going to, my parents are checked out.
They're mechanical.
They're like, what do I do with biochem engineering?
My dad could, like, make metal.
Can't they make us live longer?
Like, I just know there's going to be one generation that, like, doesn't get to the anti-aging.
So they're going to be, like, 80, and everyone else is going to look 20.
and I just don't, although it would be great for videos.
It would be great for videos.
But do you want to age?
No, what?
You want to like get older, but you don't want to age.
Yes, I want my brain to get older.
But like, I mean, I hate that aging is something that's negative only for women and not for men.
I hate all that stuff.
But of course, yeah, I want to look hot forever.
No, I'm the same.
I literally try so hard to look 20 forever.
Yep.
And that's, I want there to be a magic pill.
I heard there was a pill coming out to make your dog last longer.
and I'm like, overdose my dogs on that.
I'll be giving me and my dogs at.
If it works on dogs, let's start some human trials.
You know what I'm saying?
I think they are.
But would you take the trial pill?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I got nothing to lose.
Let's do it.
Let's go here.
Do it for the gram.
Do it for my aging.
I'm gay.
Sign me up.
That's amazing.
Okay, growing up, I feel like sometimes people who grow up in small towns,
you kind of like are surrounded by people you love.
You have, I say this because I grow up.
up in a very small town. I feel like you have to use your imagination. I feel like you've got to get
creative. So you're saying you made these videos. You've always kind of been this creative,
performer, entertainer. Yeah, definitely performer. I never thought I was like creative,
creative though, because my sister is more like art and she can draw and she can do crafts and
like I can't do any of those things. Although I enjoy it like a paint and wine night with my
friends. Yeah, paint by numbers. I'm not artsy. I do like paint by numbers and that's fun.
So growing up, I always thought like I was more.
science and math. I always thought I was more like logic. Yeah. But I feel like logic is just
creativity or just like understanding creative through logic. So that's what I do with my videos now is
I just like try to watch the internet see what's working on like an analytical level and then
just apply logic to creativity. So I feel like I'm not that creative, but maybe I am.
Maybe I'm gaslit myself. No, you have to be creative to be doing what you're doing. I think you're
creative. Were you always confident growing up? Oh, no, no, no. I think I got bullied.
a lot growing up. And it made me almost ready for what I do now. Like I went from being
basically backstory. I went to like a very small Christian school, like the kind that like are
run by like a church, not like the fancy brick building. This is like no uniforms. There's like 20
kids in your class. And so I grew up in that until eighth grade. And everyone knew everyone.
And there was a lot of bullying. Then I went to the public high school, which was huge.
and then there was more bullying.
Oh, no.
But then after that, I went to college
and there wasn't much bullying there.
And then I went to modeling.
And that's where the real bullying began.
Oh, my gosh, I was going to ask about that.
So you've been through some ups and downs in.
I don't know.
I didn't have, there was bullying going on at my school.
I don't feel like it was as bad.
I feel like a lot of people in my school actually got along.
I got.
You're lucky.
The girls in my 12th grade had to have a sit down meeting
if they wanted me to be in the limo for graduation or not.
Okay, that sounds like bullying to me.
That's bullying.
That's bullying.
Yeah.
But overall, I feel like it was, I don't know.
I feel like everyone was kind of nice to each other.
It's because you're Canadian.
Yeah, maybe that's what it is.
We have the American in us, so we're like, we're going to bully you.
Yeah, you, yeah, you'd be nice, but passive aggressive.
Literally.
Canadians, I think.
That's Canadians, too.
It's Minnesotans and Canadians.
I agree, because I feel like Minnesotans are like honorary Canadians.
I feel like we're proud of that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I really do think that.
Putting that on my tombstone.
I mean, dude, that's what I say on all my podcasts.
Really?
If somebody says something cool, I'm like, put that on your tombstone.
Or I say make it a teacher.
See?
Yeah.
I say that in comments on TikTok and I'm guessing kids are like, wait, what?
And I'm like, no, no, no, it's a joke.
I'm not going to die.
Don't worry.
I swear.
Kids on TikTok.
We were talking about this kind of a bit, but science is your back or your parents' background.
Yep.
You kind of grew into like math and science.
You're a brilliant kid.
I wouldn't go as far as to say brilliant.
Well, I barely graduated.
I like, can't believe I'm.
here doing anything, but you were smart. I was smart, but I also was encouraged by my parents to
like be smart. You know what I mean? Like my parents were the parents that if I got a B, I'd be
grounded for two weeks. Yeah. So like I was almost conditioned to have to be smart. Okay.
Or I would never leave my house or have friends or do activities. So I was like, okay, I have to
get A's. I have to get A's. And then it just kind of grew into like a love for science. Oh,
okay. So you did end up loving it. I did. Yes. And then what point were you like modeling?
So it's funny, I graduated with biomedical sciences in psych, minor, and chem.
So super nerd.
Wow.
Then I worked in an immunology lab.
Thanks.
It wasn't.
I didn't wear any makeup.
And I always had like that glasses mark on my nose.
Oh my God.
That's so cute.
Not cute.
No, that's so cute.
I love that.
Thank you.
And then I.
All your character.
Thank you.
After that, that's kind of like, I think probably how I got into character was there
were so many different things in my life that were so different.
I was like, oh, these are all my characters.
Right.
Yeah, there you go.
Wow. I sound like I have multiple personality disorder. Anyway, I was working in immunology and then I got married to my ex-husband. And he was an athlete. So his job required a lot of moving around. And we came to the conclusion that if I applied to medical school, I would probably get in out of state. Because you usually apply to like 40 medical schools and rost your fingers that you get into even one that you would want to go to. So I put that on hold. And while I was like figuring out where we were going to live for his career,
I worked as a wedding dress shop person.
So I helped, like, girls find their wedding dress.
Really?
And then when he moved to Charlotte and I went with him, that was really close to New York.
Yeah.
And I got scouted by Sports Illustrated Swimsuit on Instagram of all things.
I feel like I owe meta my life.
Yep.
My goodness.
Yeah.
They are my overlords.
I serve them.
No.
But they found me on Instagram when I had, like, 50 followers and I submitted to, like,
no way.
I want a model for Sports Illustrated thing.
And then I became a model from that.
I shot for Sports Illustrated.
I went back and forth between New York and Charlotte because they're only about an hour
flight away.
Yeah.
And that's how I became a model.
And then eventually my mental health went, you know, as it does.
Did you quit?
But wait, where did pageant life come in for you?
Oh, that was before college.
That was to earn money for a scholarship.
So you did pageant, you were a pageant girl to earn money for a scholarship.
I was.
And I also loved the glyph.
I mean, I'm not even going to lie.
I told my parents, like, no, mom, it's just for scholarship.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but you liked it. Yeah, of course. What inspired you to, so it was for a scholarship, that's what inspired you to do it. Well, my dad used to watch Miss USA. Of course, it was my dad. Sorry, dad, I'm going to tell him. He would watch Miss USA on TV when I was little and I would watch with him. And I was like, this is so cool. Like these girls are from like Minnesota, Wisconsin. Right. You hear of people in Hollywood, but they're all like L.A. And that just seemed so unreachable to me. So I was like, oh, that's a girl from Minnesota walking on a stage, like on national TV.
for Minnesota like that's so cool and so then I got one of those like little flyers in the mail
they just know how to pick the right houses and I was like please can I apply please and I tried
everything my parents were like no until I talked about how it's scholarship money and then they were like
if you can raise the money to enter and buy your own dress and whatnot you can enter and I entered and
I entered and I entered and I won that one but then I entered again and I won that one because you won
miss Minnesota USA 2014 yes yep but then I also like
God, I'm going to make myself sound like a pageant person.
I also won't Miss Minnesota Teen USA.
That's where it started.
Oh.
Mm-hmm.
What did that, like, what did that world look like?
Scary.
Yeah.
It's terrifying.
It's like, I mean, the girls are really nice.
Yeah.
Granted, if a girl isn't very nice, it's usually because, like, her mom or her family
is really competitive.
Yeah.
And she's been raised in it.
So the girls in Texas will, like, do it from, like, the time they're four.
And so they have these perfect poses.
And I was like, I don't.
I had to learn all that real fast.
You were like going to the back, watching them
and then coming up and being like, yeah, me too, me too.
I was like, yeah, totally.
Oh, wait, no, we don't put them on our hips.
We put them behind our back like this.
Beautiful.
Okay, perfect.
Was there like rules?
Unwritten?
It's weird.
Really?
It's very, but it's funny because the girls are so intelligent and so motivated.
And like many of them have their own charities.
And these aren't just like placeholders.
These are things that like they actually do.
Right.
Like they're not just saying, I have seven charities.
because they'll look at it off.
They'll tell us her lying.
Yeah.
And it's amazing what these girls do.
It's.
And then when you win for your state, like, what are the perks?
Like, what are the benefits?
Scholarship.
Okay.
So it depends on the state.
Yeah.
Texas, you get like an apartment and like a car.
But Minnesota, you get like $1,000 towards a dress.
Uh-uh.
Most of these girls have like, you know, $15,000 dresses.
So you're rolling up with your $1,000 dress and you're like, I thought this was expensive.
What is happening here?
Minnesota, they also give you, like, interview.
training. They teach you how to wear makeup or do your makeup really fast. Fake eyelashes. I learned
that. I'm still not good at it. A lot of different things. And then you do a lot of charity work
like during your time. So you get involved with you are you miss. Is it for the year?
Yeah. Yeah. Unless you win. Like if you win Miss USA, which I did not win. But you were in Miss
USA. I competed for it. But Nevada won my year. Still cool that you were in it. It was cool.
But I was definitely like way too focused on my body size.
And then I didn't have a good time because, like, I wasn't eating and it messes with your mental.
Did they, okay, so just from my perspective, I grew up as a dancer, so there was similar, a lot of similar, like, well, I definitely had body image issues.
But like, were coaches telling you that you needed to look a certain way?
Was it just your own competitiveness telling you to look a certain way?
I think it's a mix between the two.
It's like you're shown pictures of women that have probably a different body shape as you naturally.
and no matter what you do, you can't get to that.
And so in your head, of course, as a competitive person,
as somebody that, like, I was a nerd,
I want to be the best and I want to do well.
You just chase that and you'll never get to.
Like, I'll never have a VS angel build.
And that's okay.
But all the photos they showed me of girls
who were successful in the swimsuit challenge
were girls that looked like that.
So that's where it came from.
I'm 39 and I still have to tell myself that.
Like, I was showing my girlfriend,
we were in the sauna and I was like,
God, I just wish I had her body.
She goes, but you don't.
Yeah.
And you won't.
Like, that's just a different build than you, so you're not going to have it.
So why do you want it?
And also, like, who cares?
At the end of the day, like, it's so weird that we hyper focus on those things because we just made it all up anyways.
We decided that's the best looking, like, we can just change our minds.
Yeah.
We can change our minds to include a ton of different shapes and sizes.
Right.
So it's just a weird mental, like, and you just get in, you know, you get into like a tunnel and it's hard to see outside of it when you're in it.
How did you get outside of it?
How did you get outside?
of it. My family is very logical. Like, yeah. Very logical. And they were like, what are you doing? You're only
eating peanuts. You are stupid. I was like, wait. You might have a point. You make a point. You make a point
because this is my 18th apple sauce for this week. I think after I was done with pageants, it almost just
went away naturally until modeling. And then, you know, it started to come back. Right. Which I'm like,
I get imposter syndrome in certain situations and other situations. I'm like, no, I really deserve.
serve to be here. But do you experience imposter syndrome in the model industry? Because I feel like
it's competitive. There are just some things that some women have that I don't. Like there are some
women that are born so breathtakingly beautiful that like you see them and you're like,
I am not worthy. How dare I breathe your air? Like there's just something about their face and
their bone structure. And like that was just a gift. Like they were they were born with it. You don't
think you have that gift? Oh, well, thank you. I'm like,
Okay, Angelina Jolie.
Thank you.
But they're like, I swear, like if you go to Europe and like you go to these modeling, like the runways, like some of these women are just blessed with like the most beautiful skin hair and eyes you've ever seen.
And so like there's nothing you can do to they were just born like that.
And they were gifted with that.
And that's their thing.
Some of us have to pay for it.
Some of us pay for it.
I have been that person.
Oh, same is.
But you just kind of find your lane.
And I just knew with like what I.
love that although I loved the creativity and the art of modeling it wasn't like it didn't drive me
to get out of bed in the morning it made me feel worse and I didn't want to get out of bed
really yeah so how did you find like what actually makes you get out of bed in the morning
it's funny because it's TikTok which is so weird that brain rot gets me out of bed in the
morning but it's so does yeah I just I love internet culture yeah I was like a huge I loved
like YouTube and like there was like comedy central days where they'd have like the comedy shorts
or, like, I would watch college humor all the time.
Jenna Marbles.
Oh, Jenna Marbles, huge one that pays away.
Totally.
I love her.
I hope she's doing well.
But where is she?
She dipped out.
Yeah, she's gone.
She's living her best life.
She's married.
I don't even know if they have kids.
Oh, great.
I feel like they don't want me to know.
She's off the internet.
She's off the internet.
Wow.
She made her money.
She did her thing.
And then she said, peace out.
I'm good.
Oh, I love that.
She's probably going to, like, return in some epit.
We're talking about her like, Jesus.
She's going to return.
Some epic fashion.
but it'll be cool. But no, I did an apartment tour with Caleb Simpson and tons of eyes were on my page. I think the video within like a few hours had like 55 million views. How? I have no idea. I'm sitting here wondering the same thing. I'm like, why? Oh my gosh. 55 million? I don't know. And then I've always wanted to be on Saturday Night Live. That was like the dream I didn't let my engineering parents know about. And so then when I saw all of the views on my page just kind of stalking from the Caleb.
video. I was like, this is my chance to make like my own SNL. Yeah. And it's something I've always
wanted to do. And all of those eyes on my page was enough motivation to start posting five videos
every single day. Is that what you do? For a year and a half. I've only ever taken like two days
off in the last two and a half years. What? I post five videos a day on every platform. How do you
come up with the ideas and the concepts and the it's I, I just love internet culture. Like I just, I
I watch brain rot all day long, and so I just get brain rot, I think.
Well, you said earlier, like, you get that.
So how do you know what you see on the internet works and then make it?
Like, if you were to teach a class on this, what would you say are like top three?
The way in which you film is one.
It doesn't need to be aesthetic.
Like, I'm not an aesthetic queen.
Other people are aesthetic queens.
There's a certain shininess to a video that goes viral.
I don't know why, but just like the more you.
watch you can just tell like there's just something about the way that it's shot that it doesn't
distract you you're not you like you could watch it again on repeat okay plus like half the people
who are watching social media are usually under the influence of something so if something is
distracting or it can throw things off so it's it it's just like so clean looking okay and then
on top of that it's like where you put the the text the font that you use for the text the size and
that changes constantly depending on like if gen alpha is like going viral if you're
Gen Z. Millennials do it differently. And then it's just using like viral trends the moment,
like when everyone was making fun of modern art. That's when I did the modern art sketch because
it was like top of mind for people. And then the algorithm is most likely going to pump it out
because it's top of mind or top searched for people. So you're just constantly brainstorming and
looking and thinking and like it could be something so simple and you're like, oh, I'm going to write that
down. It's going to be a skit later. You should see my phone. It's like the most, you know how there's a trend on
TikTok where it shows a girl's notes app.
Yeah.
And it'll be like some poem about a man that's name is Taylor and then like buy eggs and
then like a TikTok idea.
Mine is like the most scattered random ADHD like TikTok thoughts.
Half the time they're spelled wrong half the time.
Like it's just a one liner like hot sauce when that one friend eats it.
And people are like, what is this?
And I'm like, trust me.
Yeah.
It'll make sense when it does.
Maybe it'll make sense when I make it and maybe I will never post it.
but who did you actually have a billionaire boyfriend no i didn't think so but um my producer thought
that was real she was like ask her about her billionaire boyfriend and i was like i think that was a bit
you want to know where that came from too yeah is when my apartment tour went viral it was at a weird
time in my life i was going through my divorce yeah we had announced it publicly which was like
years and years in the making yeah and we shared an apartment in new york city but he had moved out
and I had taken it over and I also could not afford it.
So I was two weeks away from moving out when that apartment tour went viral.
And every single one of the comments were like, what man pays for this?
And part of me was like, oh my gosh, they're right.
I can't afford this.
But I'm going to try to use that in a way that hopefully will make me be able to afford this one day.
And I was like, oh, I'm going to give them a billionaire boyfriend.
And I'm going to start making like little shows about what my.
life is like with this man that that buys my life yeah and that's where billionaire boyfriend was born
was from the hate comments you create oh god I love that you created a billionaire boyfriend that wasn't
real from the hate comments and ended up being able to pay for your apartment yeah oh boss energy yeah
thank you to the women that that liked what I created that is hilarious how did you do the shaving
the eyebrows video special effects special effects so there is a plug-in to a
Adobe after effects that you can like almost stitch down something on your face. So
eyebrows are tough because you're constantly moving your head. And so anytime you move your head,
you're usually going to see like where that coverage is showing. We did it all with just
computer, like just special effects. And so the whole time I was acting, my eyebrow was there.
We just, we would like, you know, use something on the computer just to cover it up.
That was wild. I watched it so many times being like, how? Yeah, that one was, that was really fun.
I randomly went, so that was me and my ex-boyfriend did that together, and he's a very talented
editor. And so he taught me, like, everything that I know, which I'm so grateful for.
Oh, that's cool. One day, I was just like, how hard is it to shave off my eyebrow? And he was
a weekend, and he was like, not that hard. And I was like, let's do it. And then that weekend,
we made like eight videos. We did not sleep. We were like up all day editing, all night editing.
Like, it was just so much fun. And I never knew I could get that many views on my page because that was my
first time I'd ever done anything like that crazy.

Wait, are you in a relationship right now?
I am.
Oh, you are?
And you're public about it.
Yes, yeah, now.
Yeah.
Okay, that's exciting.
We've been dating for almost a year.
Okay.
And so I went public with him in February.
Is that scary?
Very scary.
Yeah, very, very scary.
Because also, like, it's the internet.
So if they've ever done anything in their past, if they've ever, like, that could potentially,
have like adverse effects on your career even if like you didn't know them and so uh we had to have
that conversation of like who are the people you've wronged and it's a man in new york city they've wronged
a lot of people um they do and me being like a girl's girl is like ah yeah yeah but yeah it's all
of those different things come into play that like it's just hard so you try to wait it out and see
if they're a good person that you could have your page i don't know represent them i do feel like a year
good amount of time to figure that out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's, we've been through a lot together and he's
been, although he's made some mistakes. I probably have to. Yeah. Yeah. Do you and your current
partner, do you guys, do you live together? No, he has his own place. Okay. No, we're like very chill.
He's always at my place. Yeah. How did you ask me? We met, oh, God, on Raya. Ew. Oh, that's
okay. Ew. That's it. Wait, were you dating Jared Leto for a minute? No, no, no. Jared has been
nothing but like the most respectful.
He just, he found my content on YouTube shorts.
Yeah.
And he was one of my first celebrity collabs.
His team DM'd me.
Yeah.
Being like, hey, Jared is, had the Met Gala yesterday and he has this, the cat costume, the
Carl Lagerfield cat.
And he wants to shoot some content.
He loves your YouTube shorts.
And then he came over with his team and, uh, an amazing person to work with.
Super easy.
Like, super down to just like play around, which is crazy for an Oscar winning actor.
So is this like, like, like you'll be doing this for the next 50 years.
of your life. I mean, it all, the landscape is changing so fast, but if I could make videos and do what I do for
the rest of my life, I would be extremely happy. Like, you gained 13 million followers in less than a
year. Yeah, it was crazy. How? I don't know. Thank you. Guys, I don't know. I don't know.
And really, like, you think the more posting, the better. I think it completely depends on, on your channel
and who follows you and what they like. What platform do, like the best? Ooh.
They're all different, and I like them for different reasons.
That sounds like a political answer.
But TikTok is culture.
TikTok, like, drives culture.
You know, like, what the trending things in the moment are because, like, it happens
so fast there.
And everyone also feels confident posting a lot more.
Instagram is going to be more like your relatable, like, also crazy content where
you just, you just can never predict it.
YouTube is going to be the people that are invested in your story.
That's where, like, podcasts are going to do well or even just,
videos about me talking about my life or the things I've gone through, like, YouTube loves that
and loves to get to know, like, who you are. Yeah. And then Snapchat is just insane.
I don't even, I literally tried to get back into the Snapchat game because when I first came
off The Bachelorette, that was like it. Like Snapchat was it. That was when they were monetizing
it, like crazy. I've heard the tales. I was like, holy shit, I'm getting more views than I did as the
Bachelorette on ABC, like, it was like my own TV show and I loved it. And then Instagram
stories started happening. So I kind of like dabbled in both, but I was still like committed to
Snapchat. And now I'm like, ah, I open Snapchat. I'm like, I don't know. Wait, because what year were
you in? On 2015. That would make sense. Yeah. That would make sense. Because it's like, I forget
that Instagram stories and reels are so recent that like they didn't even have that in 2015.
The Instagram reels are like quite like a couple years old.
It's actually insane.
It is insane.
But yeah, I didn't even have Instagram story.
It was Snapchat when I came off the show.
That's crazy.
I know.
Where would people post link in my bio?
I don't know.
I don't remember.
It was 10 years ago.
I'm glad I wasn't working then.
Way harder.
It was no, it was easier.
Really?
I felt like it was easier.
It's a post on.
Everybody went to Snapchat.
Really?
Or like a post on Instagram.
video for Snapchat and it felt like not like there's so many influencers out there now where before
it there really wasn't I go on Snapchat to like figure out if somebody's pregnant or and you know
what I mean like when there's like is this celebrity pregnant I immediately go to their Snapchat
like looking at reflections and mirrors I'm like there's the got to mess up because if you're
going to find anything you're going to find it on Snapchat really yeah because we post you like
spam post it's like yeah that's you just post whatever you don't even think about if you want to see me I
rarely drink, but when I do get drunk, I'd probably post it on Snapchat. Maybe don't watch it
because it's probably really cringy. Do you worry about cringe content? No, have you seen my page
girl? But that's why I don't find it cringe is because I feel like you just don't care.
It's self-aware. I know, I know it's cringe, but that's, like, it's fun to watch cringe stuff
sometimes. So as long as it's self-aware, I give myself a pass. I will give you a pass. The second
it doesn't become self-aware, the second you're like, Haley girl, what is this? And I'm like,
This is fire.
Delete my account.
Delete it.
Get it off the internet.
Save me from myself.
So on Instagram compared to like an Instagram reel, it will do better on Instagram
if it's a specific thing than it would on TikTok.
I get so confused.
Instagram and TikTok are probably the most similar now.
Yeah.
They used to be like about like two weeks apart.
Yeah.
What would go viral?
But now there's so many creators like you said.
Yeah.
And it's fun.
So like even people that aren't creators love to make videos.
like with their husband or their kids.
And so you'll see a lot of the same things.
A lot of them are exact copies.
Like I scroll BrainRot so much that I will literally know who made the original video.
And I'll be like, oh, 17 people copied this on Instagram when it started on TikTok.
Okay, you've said it so many times now.
I have to ask, I feel like I should know.
What is BrainRot?
Is that just TikTok?
It's like the depths of social media where you just keep scrolling.
Oh, that's what I saw.
Like skivety toilet or like phantom.
Oh, you're not.
in the Gen Alpha zone, are you? I'm not.
Skibbitty. YouTube shorts. Look up Skibbitty
Toilet. Is it gross? It's like
this alternate universe where
Gen Alpha is going to rip me apart if I get this wrong. Dang.
I don't think Gen Alpha listens to my podcast. Perfect. Amazing.
I'm just going to confuse the millennials then. No, I hope
maybe you could bring in the Elfas and the Gen Zs and maybe.
Shibbitty toilet. Skibbity toilet. No, see,
I already messed it up. What is it? It's like these people
that get their heads caught in toilets. And it's like, shibbitty, shibbitty,
Shibody, shibody, shibody, toilet.
I swear this exists.
No, I believe you.
I swear, I'm not insane.
I don't think you'd make something so wild up.
That would be crazy if I did.
But like, what works on the internet?
I can't keep up.
Yeah, it's aggressive.
And I think they're making it, I think it was greenlit for like a, like an actual
Hollywood film because they have such proof of concept in the fact that like these
go so viral that Hollywood's like, I'll throw some money at that.
Yeah, no kidding.
People in toilets.
do it. And now that's what they're doing. What in the hell kind of world are we living in?
You can literally, like, there's pieces of toast that go viral. It's just like a wet piece of toast in a
shower. And they put like some sad song that you'd cry to in the shower. And like it has like 18
million likes and you're like, what? So, okay, that's brain rough. If anyone, okay, if anyone is listening
and they're like, I want to be an influencer, I want to go viral, what advice would you give them?
Um, study it.
Yeah.
I mean, it's, it's just like anything else, right?
Like, you want to be an engineer.
You study your textbooks.
Yeah.
You want to be a creator.
You study the people before you that have done really well.
Right.
Or, like, of course, you want your own voice in it because every creator having their own voice is what makes it fun.
Right.
But, like, it's, you're learning and you're finding out.
And that's why so many people, when they start out, copy other people because they don't know, like, oh, this is not a good thing to do.
Right.
They just think, oh, it's free game.
How hard is it to not copy other people?
on the internet.
It's pretty hard because sometimes I'll make something and then I'll see not shot for shot
or the same whatever, probably a different sound, but I'll see a similar idea since we all
pretty much live very similar lives.
Like if you're in New York, you might live very similarly millions of other people.
And so the concept you come up with might be similar.
But there's a lot of like shot for shot.
But it's okay.
Just tag people's inspo guys.
Well, I get so upset because with like there's like that whole.
lore with Haley Bieber and
Selena Gomez. And I'm like
anyone, this is how I think about it
because I'm trying to think of who
this girl was that they think killed
her little daughter. She was like
Casey, Casey Anthony. Casey Anthony.
And she went on TikTok. So there's
so many things where like if a
Netflix documentary wants to make you look
innocent, they can. Yes. If they want to
make you look guilty and like you've done, they can
put things together. I feel like they can do that
with Haley and Selena. Oh yeah. Haley
might not have done whatever, but they can
make it look like it was like intentionally this and oh she wore a white top that day and selina did
that way are you into that kind of no i mean i also i've been a woman on the internet right like i've
had my whole life picked apart and i'm guessing and you've been on reality tv it's the exact same thing
it's like you do an eye roll and they can edit that eye roll to be a girl saying something that's
important to her right you're rolling your eyes when they could that could have been hours days
apart. So I just feel like I've met so many people that are like A-listers that are just as confused
how they got famous as everyone else. Yes. And they would be the first to judge themselves and like
tear themselves down. So it makes me sad when people hyper. I get that it's fun. I get, you know,
if I was younger maybe, but I think I've just been in their shoes a little bit. So I just,
I watch it from above, but like don't put any grain of salt in it. Because you never know.
Do you feel pressure to always be putting out stuff and like, or do you actually just genuinely love it so much?
Or what's that relationship?
It's both.
It's kind of like I'm constantly challenging myself to like be better and make better content and like get like better lighting or better, you know, editing skills or whatnot.
But I also just love to make it.
I've tried to take days off because people are like, hell, you're going to burn out.
You've got to take days off.
you crazy person.
And I will sit there and then I'll just be like,
you're like, must make videos.
Must make videos.
There's an idea in my brain.
And if it's burning in my brain,
like I can't pay attention to anything else.
Wow.
Like I have to do,
because it's fun for me.
Yeah.
So now my friends are just used to getting roped into.
Do you use a phone?
Do you have a specific camera?
Oh, I have my, no, iPhone 13.
You do?
I do.
Yeah, I have an iPhone 13 and I film everything on it.
Okay, good.
I've had it from the beginning.
I feel better.
It feels better.
It films aesthetically.
Well, also,
Forbes named you a top creator in 2024.
Yeah.
You're just,
so you're doing something, right?
I guess.
If Forbes, I actually sent that to my parents and I was like,
ha, it is a real job, mom and dad.
Seriously.
Yeah, because would you be in Forbes if you were doing a different path?
No.
No.
No, definitely not.
That's crazy.
No.
That must feel so validating for all the work you've put in to be named in Forbes.
It's really cool that like, because I feel like internet culture
is its own thing.
And I feel like for so long
it was looked at as
different than like entertainment.
And now the two are merging.
And so it's really fun
because I think creators are so brilliant.
Like they're going to be the next people making
and they already have been like 824 movies.
Right.
And they're going to be the next people like scripting big projects.
And so it almost evens the plane field out
where like you can grow up in the middle of nowhere
without any connection to Hollywood,
without any money.
And all you need is a phone.
And you can show your,
art or like what's in your brain to the world. And I think that's so sick. So like the fact that Forbes
recognizes it as like people doing cool things is dope. What scares you about the internet?
Oh my gosh. Being canceled is really, really, really awful. And it also like I think as a creator,
especially as a comedy creator, I want people to go to my page and just like have fun. And just
never feel like targeted, never feel any certain way. And so when things are going on in the world that are
little darker or you know there's a lot of things that are going on right now that are tough
for a lot of people i just hope my page is a place that makes people happy but sometimes you're
also like do i need to say something do i not and it that's scary yeah it's scary you feel it's when
you have millions 13 millions of eyeballs on you do you feel a responsibility to to go outside of
your like what you want you know people to come to your page for do you or are you like
like, no, I'm sticking to this.
No, I think because a lot of my followers are very young.
Yeah.
I didn't know anything about that space.
And I also don't want them believing something just because I said it.
Yeah.
You know, like I'm so grateful that my parents gave me a space to cultivate my own ideas and my own, like, about religion, about politics, about whatever it may be.
And like, life experience is the only thing that will drive you, I think, to like the correct.
I don't even know if there's correct choices anymore.
Right.
Right. The more empathetic or moral choices. But I want people to figure that out on their own. And I want them to have a space that, like, if they're going through something, they don't need to constantly be inundated with all of the bad things in the world. I agree with that. Because everywhere else, we are constantly inundated with that. Like, I love TikTok for when people make me laugh. Because I'm like, oh, I needed that. And sometimes it makes me feel less guilty about scrolling. Because I'm like, I literally just giggled for an hour straight at people's content. Like, feed me with that. Because my algorithm right now, I'm like, why
I did know. Get out of here. And I'm like, need to reprogram it. But have you ever been close to getting canceled?
Oh, no. I was really canceled. Why? I, during last year, during the Met Gala, I worked as a, like, a reporter for E.
Yeah. And so I was on site at, it's called the Mark, the Mark Hotel here in New York. And then the Met Gala is like a few blocks up. So I never, I never went to the Met Gala. But the Met was like everything to me. Like, that is like art and culture and like all this, the fanciness of Hollywood that in.
never thought I'd get to be around. So when I got asked to be a like on-site reporter for the
hotel, I was like, yes. Absolutely. And unfortunately, I started working at like noon that day.
And Israel and Hamas, there was an attack that was pretty brutal. And I did not know any of this
was happening. And I was dressed in an outfit that was very like French couture, like some
compared it to Marie Antoinette. So then there was a trending audio.
suggested by TikTok that said let the meat cake. And I did not know the meaning. I went to that
tiny little Christian school where we studied the Bible and not the French Revolution.
Yeah. And I had posted that as my outfit reveal. Right. But unfortunately, because of what happened,
it felt like an attack by me in a place that is like wealth and prestige and all this stuff. It's just
such a wrong place, wrong time, wrong energy to be giving to any situation. Yeah. And people took that
and we're obviously very offended.
And, oh, my God, you must have felt sick.
I lost so much weight.
I, I, it was so, it was the worst experience in my life, but it also taught me that although
I consider myself like a comedy creator and I try to stay away from things that are hard
to talk about or, um, political or violent, uh, that my, whatever I make touches a lot of
people. Yes. And if I make something that could potentially be even just viewed or is just
offensive. Like that's on me. Even if I don't know about it. Right. So with Spider-Man,
with great power comes great responsibility. But it's true. I felt awful. Yeah. And I made a nine-minute
apology video. And of course, I was stumbling around on my words. And I was trying to speak from the
heart because I'm a, I said I'm a normal person. But of course, that was a bad thing to say because
then it comes across like, I don't realize the wealth that I have or the. So it was just,
it was really tough, but it was a really, really big learning experience for me in taking
accountability and also understanding like sometimes you accidentally hurt people. And it's not
their fault that they're hurt. It's your fault that you hurt them. Yeah. I've, I've been learning a lot
in therapy about intention versus impact. Yeah. You know, and that's, yeah.
Yeah, it's scary when you have that many people watching and you're bound to make a mistake, even if it's obviously not intentional, but the impact that it has.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's scary.
It's literally the worst thing that, because you also start to question, like, every choice that you made.
Like every, when I remember the sound was suggested by TikTok, you know, you take a picture and, like, the sound pops up.
Yeah.
And then my hairstylist was like, oh, this sound is trending.
Yes.
And I was like, yes.
Yeah, yeah.
Not even thinking about it now, I'm very careful with anything that I think has any historical
connotation to it, anything that could potentially be viewed as, I don't know, attacking someone
or attacking a group of people.
Like I, and I needed that because you feel like, oh, it's just a little video in my phone.
Like, it's only going to reach my followers.
No, it couldn't reach the world.
Yes.
And it sucks even more when it reaches the world.
And you made them feel bad.
Yeah.
Like, yeah.
Yeah.
I hear you.
Oh, I'm proud of you.
making that apology and learning from it because you're obviously still doing good thing.
You're doing so many interviews on red carpets now.
What was that last one that you just did the freaking SAG Awards?
Was it say?
No.
Or the after for the Oscars.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like you got, do you, who do you get starstruck by anyone?
Not very many people.
Didn't Ariana Grande call you like gorgeous?
Yeah, that start.
I was star struck.
Yeah.
Just because that was my first time to meeting somebody that was like, she is.
She's Ariana Grande.
Like, she is one of the most famous people in the entire world.
I think for me, Taylor Swift, because of her notoriety and I think her work ethic, I was very starstruck.
Angelina Jolie was my one that I panicked.
What do you mean you panic?
I called her Angie.
Because I'm so used to talking about her with my friends where I'm like, Angie, Angie, and I'm like, Angie.
And she's like, I love you so much.
And she's like, thank you.
Did she say you look like me?
No, but I think she was like, what in the, who are you?
And why are you calling me a nickname?
Yeah, no.
She's stunning.
Oh, my God.
She's so beautiful.
She's literally perfection.
She's perfect.
It's crazy.
And it's like, I would like to know her secrets because she does not age at all.
I think it's just her bone structure.
But yeah, because she also doesn't look like she, and I'm all about if you want to have worked on whatever, but she just looks like the same person.
Yes.
Just those are, I think that.
That's just genetics.
Just you eat those people that are born who just...
Like Kate Beckinsale.
Genetics.
Is that genetics?
It's got to be.
I mean, even if it's not, like...
It looks like it's genetics.
It looks like it's genetics.
Good job.
Share.
Share with the class.
Yeah.
Wait, did you meet Taylor Swift?
I did.
Yeah, at the Grammys.
That's cool.
And what's crazy is it's like you understand why some of these people are so successful
because Taylor walked by me.
And I said, you look like your dress is so pretty.
because I freaked out.
Yeah.
And she was like,
thank you yours too.
Like,
great to meet you.
And then when I saw her again
a year later at the Grammys
and I was there
and I said something about her dress again.
Yeah.
And she said,
it's so lovely to see you again.
And like the fact that somebody
like Taylor Swift
who meets millions of people every day
and even has so many people working for her
remembers an interaction.
And I heard that about her
that she will.
Crazy.
Yeah.
Advocacy for women in STEM, you nerd heard.
I'm obsessed.
Wait, talk to me about this.
So I, you know, I have a STEM background.
My mom is an engineer and a woman.
Yep.
And I've watched, you know, many women in my family kind of start out in the sciences.
And you're like one of the few women in your upper level physics course.
And you're like, am I in the wrong job?
Where are the girls at?
And you're not.
it's just like a weird stereotype about our culture, even though women are better at math and science in their younger ages.
Yes, they are.
Then until culture gets a hold.
But like it was important for me to find some way to give back.
And we're still working out the kinks on what that is and how it's going to be.
But I want to have a nonprofit and do good things with it.
And so if I do good things with something, I want it to be for women in STEM that didn't have access to some of the education that I had growing up.
That's awesome.
Yeah, thank you.
Thank you.
Because I feel like you have this platform.
You're able to break down stereotypes and you're able to break down, you know, like that people
can have beauty and brains.
And yeah, and you are funny too.
You've got to get it and all going on.
Thank you.
Are you still aiming for SNL?
I would love.
Really?
Love nothing more than to even just be on like one weekend update, like drag me in.
I'll play an influencer.
Like I don't care.
I would love.
I've been to the tapings before.
watched it from above like how do you do impressions no that's the thing I can't do like I can do
like influencer impressions like the influencer accent or like those type of things what's the influencer accent
very like hey guys oh yeah how's it going I feel like there's like this thing like people do this
yep yep no there are there are things that influencers do and I have to like fight myself to not do
them but I've definitely do them like we all oh I'm yeah also quickly before we
get into your confession that I heard you bracing yourself for on the way in here.
You've been open about your diagnosis with, I always butcher this name.
Endometriosis?
Yes.
Oh, I did it.
Yeah.
I think I might have that.
A lot of people, I guess, do.
Which I didn't know.
Painful periods, like excruciating.
I can't even, like sometimes I almost throw up because I start seeing stars and I black out because
my pain is so bad.
You might have endometriosis.
And I also, so I just got a ultrasound done.
Yeah.
I have so.
so many cysts, and I have like a three centimeter fibroid on the lining of my uterus,
like all these things that they're like, that's definitely going to cause infertility.
And I'm like, oh my God.
So for my 40th birthday, I'm getting my fibroids removed.
Damn.
The worst gift.
Fibroids?
Yeah.
Did you freeze your eggs?
I did.
Smart.
Yes.
I was like, if you're not saying egg freezing, you're chilling.
I did.
I froze my eggs at 32, which I'm really happy about.
I need to do that.
But what led you to talk?
talk openly about that. Oh, just really, really bad pain. There was a lot of like explorative things.
Like I had so many bladder scopes. And they found it then. So what it? So they found endometeo.
See, I can't say it. They can find that. I don't even know how they did it. But then they
removed it with a scope surgery. And yeah. Now I'm chilling. Um, no more painful periods.
No more painful periods. None. Compared to what it was before when I would be like, but I also do
have an IUD. Like a lot has gone down. Yeah. In this area. Yeah.
Sounds weird.
So I don't really know what worked for what, but now I'm chilling.
Oh, good.
Yeah.
Okay, that gives me hope because I'm like, I am in so much pain.
I wonder if while they're in there.
They should.
Yes.
They'll be able to see.
Yes.
Ask about it.
Like, it's really just being honest with your doctor about like the type of pain you're
having and where you're having it.
Because like, again, there haven't been female doctors for a very long time until
recently.
So a lot of these things that women deal with were never treated or never.
like figured out how to treat or so there's all of these different options now.
Wow, that's so crazy. I know what women go through. It's like wild. I always call it
clockwork. I'm like every month I'm just like, well, I'm going to be down and out in blackout
pain. So here we go. Yet there's like 25 pills that give a guy a boner. Makes no sense.
Yeah. Nothing ever makes sense. I don't get it. Because men ruled medicine for so long.
Yeah. That's okay. We need you off TikTok and into the medicine world. Oh, God.
I'm good.
Use your science background.
I just am like stereotyping just scientists, right?
Like, hey, I'm okay with that.
I'm okay with that.
Wait, do you want to play a quick game?
I'm ready.
It's called stem or scam.
Ooh.
Okay, I'll read you a fact and you have to tell me if it's a real scientific fact, stem, or if it's totally made up, scam.
I'm going to fail miserably.
My whole brain is just brain rot now.
Well, hit me with him.
I don't know if this is like, okay, bananas are technically berries.
Fact.
Yes.
I've heard that before.
Bananas fit the criteria of a berry because they develop from a single ovary and have seeds inside.
See, Mom, I told you.
I'm a scientist.
Just send your mom these clips right here.
We'll just put all the, you'll make you get them right just for your mom.
Okay, octopuses have three hearts and two stop beating when they swim.
I feel like something about the heart situation is true, but I'm going to say no.
No, you were right.
It is true.
It went with your gut.
Okay, cool.
Yeah.
Yeah. Two of their hearts pumped blood. I wasn't sure about the beating part. I was like, is that the false part? Well, I'm trying to throw you, by the way. Oh, okay. But the heart pumps blood to the gills and the third pumps it to the rest of the body. Wow. You can sneeze with your eyes open if you try hard enough. Um, false. Right. Yeah. Because I think I've tried that. I'm like, especially when you're doing mascara and you're like, don't do it. And your mom is like, your eyes are going to pop out if you do that. And you're like, will they? Maybe they will. Dang. Let's record it. All the lies, we were told.
as children. So many. The one that always sticks out to me is that you can't have the light on
in the car while you drive. Thank you. I know. Was that just our era? Or like, where police officers
actually pulling people over for that? I don't know. Because like, I'm still terrified of that.
I also found out that you can pump gas while your car's on. No. I've been the person that's like,
turn off this car. It's illegal. I still do every time just because I'm so scared. I'm such a
Karen. Oh, no. All my friends, I'm like, turn it off. We're going to blow up. No, I'm the same way.
I'm the same way. I thought it was fully illegal.
Okay, the Eiffel Tower grows taller in the summer.
What?
I mean, unless the earth underneath it is...
I'm going to go with no.
No, it's true.
How?
The iron expands when heated.
Ah, iron.
Okay.
I was thinking ground expansion.
I should have been thinking metal expansion.
If I gave you more time, I feel like you'd really think these through, but it's a podcast.
You're like, I don't know, Drew.
I'm like, humans actually have more than five senses.
No.
It's true.
It is.
In addition to the classic five senses,
We have others, like, I'm not going to be able to pronounce it.
Sense of body position.
Oh.
Equilibrium.
Oh, I didn't even realize these are considered senses.
Me either.
See, this is what I mean.
I'm just trying to throw you off.
You know?
You know what?
Let's get to your confession.
That's stupid.
Just tell me an embarrassing story.
I'm embarrassing myself right now.
When you become a content creator and you start working with, like, the apps,
sometimes they'll let you in to test apps early.
Oh, fun.
So when Threads was coming out, they were like,
Kaylee, would you like beta access
to threads? And I was like, absolutely
I do. Yeah. Because
we all know Charlie Demilio
popped off on TikTok and she
Right. One of the first. You want to be the first to do it.
So I was like, absolutely. Yeah.
If this is going to be like Twitter. Yeah.
I didn't know that they only gave
that to like only a few people.
Mark Cuban being one of them.
Okay. So it was like, Zuckerberg,
Mark Cuban and then like meta employees
and then like really famous people.
and like random creators
that like they let in
just to like give their opinion on it.
Okay.
So I start posting like mad.
Yeah.
Not thinking that when this launches,
those are going to be the only thing
everyone sees on their page.
Right.
So like people are posting normal things.
Mark Cuban is like,
welcome to threads,
you know?
And I'm just spam replying to Mark Cuban like,
pay attention to me.
Like you have to notice me.
Like it's me and Mark Cuban in this room
and you have to say hi.
So I'm just like typing him the craziest stuff.
I'm replying to Zuckerberg like Zuck Daddy.
Like saying the.
crazy the craziest stuff thinking like no one's ever going to see this because it'll all be erased
before it's posted well they told me it was going to be like a couple weeks of beta testing
and then they're going to clear it and then you know like it'll go live nope it was the next day
no without clearing anything no so everyone who went on threads only saw my manic like obsessive
almost borderline not even borderline creepy things that i was saying to like mark cubit
Mark Zuckerberg.
I'm over here like Zuck Daddy said it's fine.
So like it, I'm like,
Wiz Khalifa's posting like like blunts
and I'm like, you know that's legal bro.
Like I'm just, I'm everywhere.
Like and so then when it's live,
everyone was like, who is this?
And they thought it was a computer system.
No, because it was just spamming everyone.
It was the only thing everyone saw.
That is funny.
Mark Cuban still did not say hi to me.
How dear you?
But he definitely saw.
He definitely saw.
Mark.
So I'm a little.
I'll find you, Mark.
One day you will run into him
and you'll be able to tell him that.
And he'll be like, security.
She's here.
Get her out of here.
I've told the story of my podcast before,
but when I first got Instagram,
which was like in like 2012,
I thought it was an app
just to put cool filters on
and I posted a nude on it.
No.
Yeah.
No.
Yeah, I posted a nude thinking like,
with a good filter.
Yeah.
And I was like, this is cool.
I mean, say they're on the Nashville filter
and like post because I thought it was
my own album. Everything was like in sepia. No, you didn't realize it was public. Yeah, I didn't know
it was public. And you, you were like, nude is definitely the first photo. I'm putting on sepia.
Yeah. Sepea. Everyone was with the border. Yes. The big border. In the border. On your nude.
Yeah. And I was like, please say you still send that to people. I'm like, can I have pics or like,
how about this room from 2012? I definitely deleted it off the Instagram, but I only had like
seven followers. I don't even remember because I just got it.
And my girlfriend called me immediately.
She was like, why did you pose it nude?
And I was like, what?
You saw that?
That's my biggest.
I don't even take nude photos.
But for some reason, because I'm so anxious,
my biggest fear is, like, posting a non-existent nude photo of me on my story.
And then, like, children are like, mom.
Like, so I don't even, I won't even go near my phone when I'm so terrified.
So funny.
I should be way more terrified.
I have so many nudes in my phone.
I'm always like, I mean, you're welcome.
them if they come out, right?
Well, I don't take a bad one.
Exactly.
If I'm taking a nude, it's because I look good.
So if it leaks, you're welcome.
Now one's going to leak and people think it's on purpose.
It's going to be the like sepia filter one with the border and they're going to be like the only person that could possibly that is her.
There's going to be a hold.
I think Caitlin Bristow leaked your own nude.
Get ready with me.
I love it.
Well, thank you so much.
Tell everybody all, if they're probably already following you, but where to find you?
At Haley Bailey with like 18 Wies and a million different E's.
They'll H-A-L-E-Y-Y-Y-E, because I didn't think I would ever be a social media person, so I just picked whichever one was.
I just want a full name, Caleb Bristow.
Honestly, that's lit, though.
I'm happy about it.
Because people fully don't know, they don't even, they're like, is your name Haley, why are there so many E's?
There's just so many questions.
Is your bail your middle name?
No, my middle name is B.
Oh.
Like B-E-A.
Oh.
No, it's weird.
Because then everyone's like B, like, B-A-A-T-R-I?
I'm like, no.
They're like B like the letter B.
I'm like, no.
Just B.
just B-E-A that was like remember on Simpsons when Homer J. Simpson was on a mission to find out what is Jay Stanton for in his middle name, but it was actually just Jay. That's me. Yeah, that's you. I'm like I'll find it. And my dad called me Haley Bailey, because Haley B. Haley Bailey growing up. So. Well, that's cute. Yeah. Now it seems like I'm, I did that for my dad. I didn't. I just, there was no other option. Yeah. But I did it for you, dad. Yeah. Dad. Thanks for watching the pod. Dad. Thanks for watching, dad. And mom, see, she answered a few correct. Yeah. My mom.
