Welcome to Dirty Rush, The Truth About Sorority Life, with your host, me, Gia Judice, Daisy Kent, and Jennifer Fessler. Welcome back to another episode of Dirty Rush. Today, we're going to be chatting with some of the biggest names in the influencer world, who also happened to know a thing or two about sorority life.

They're sharing the real inside scoop, what Rush was ever. actually like the surprises along the way and how they reflect on the experience now if you've ever wondered how to navigate the scene and come out on top these guests have the tips tricks and stories you won't want to miss hey brook hi so where did you go to school i went to ucla so what made you want to rush at ucela i went to a really small high school so i think that was was part of it. Like I really wanted to embrace the big college experience. UCLA also Greek life. I would say there's a good amount of people in it, but it's not something where it's this huge, all-encompassing, everybody on the campus does it. So it definitely seemed a lot more relaxed than

some of the other schools, which I was excited about. I definitely don't know how much I would have fit in and like more of a southern rush culture where it was very intense. So it felt like a good balance and also going into school. I had talked to some girls who were in sororities and they really enjoyed their experience. Did you have any like stereotypes like going in and I know you said like in the south how it was like you kind of know what it was going to be about? I also was raised like in Tempe, Arizona, which is like where ASU is like almost an entirely different. I feel like type of intense with

sororities where it is just like a huge part of a lot of their lives. And I guess they had that stereotype. And I also like had heard other like more negative stereotypes. But at the end of they also like my mom was in a sorority. And like my middle name

is her little's name. Like that's how they were. So I also like in the back of my mind. As much as I'd heard stereotypes, I also grew up with like at the end of the day, a lot of it is about sisterhood and you will probably meet your best friends for life. Well, your mom had a great experience. So that's definitely what made you feel super positive going into it probably. 100%. Did you go in with a dream house? I was on the dance team in

college and for UCLA, that means you have to move out like six weeks early to start training. And all of those girls were on houses. So I definitely knew by the time that I rushed, like, girls had been telling me like, oh, like, you're so this or you're so that or like, this is the vibe or that's the vibe. I think I definitely knew I would feel more comfortable being in a house where like I had a teammate already because they already kind of knew the vibe, which was like three or four of them but outside of that I was trying as much as possible to be like open mind open mind that's awesome that you got to go and like to be there before and like meet some of the girls and then going back to your like dance so you started doing like influencing a little like before

you went to school right um honestly kind of not really like I had when I was younger like growing up dancing. Like I had posted dance videos of myself and that had like kind of gained some traction. But going into college, I had like, I don't know, maybe 6,000 Instagram followers and like 2,000 TikTok followers and like leaving it. Now I have like a lot more. But most of it like started really like my freshman sophomore year. You mainly documented your dance life, right? And then when did you start bringing in your sorority life. Yeah. So I actually ended up joining my sororities like board for marketing. You were on EC. Yeah. So I started, I did two years of holding leadership. So the first year I was the director of PR. And then the second, I was the vice president of marketing.

And through that, I just got a lot more plugged in in general, but then also got a lot more involved in like rush TikTok because of that as well. So I feel like probably my first year that I went through rush on the other side. So like my sophomore fall, I started making rush TikToks and people started really engaging with that. And then after that, I would make like advice videos. I'd also make advice or videos talking about like my position and stuff and like my experience because it definitely was like, wow, a lot of people want to like know what this is like. So yeah. It's so interesting because I feel like, I mean, I graduated, when did I graduate? I graduated in 2021.

And I'm like, I feel like that's like soon. Like that was like the phase when like, yeah, it was like really blowing up like, or like the year before that over COVID. And so I feel like right after that was when all this sorority like rush talk or rush talk stuff happened. And it's just so interesting all of it. I 100%. Even like I rushed in 20.

2021. That was like my fall. And then I graduated in 2025 and even just seeing the different types of expectations that evolved each year of like what you're supposed to do during sorority recruitment and the content you're supposed to produce and all of this stuff like that evolution in the past four years has been insane. So it's been very interesting to watch and was really cool to be a part of that like evolution of like getting these major brand deals and like doing these big group TikTok dances and I'm excited to see where it goes from here. What do you think the biggest lie is that rush tells you? I would say like do you mean in terms of like the rush process itself for like being in a sorority?

I would say rush in recruitment. Yeah. Like how that differs from actually then being in the sorority. Do you think it's kind of like a, you know, a little tail and then you're in it and it's a little different? I would say like I guess rushing you're definitely sold like a fairy tale like it's definitely like everything's going to be great all the time we're all so close and I think especially going into my freshman year like you want to buy into that because you're like I'm so scared like I'm moving away from home I don't know anybody all these things and I definitely think that there's just more

ups and downs that you go through in college that like you can't necessarily anticipate of course. And I think you're not going to be friends with everybody. That was a huge thing for me. Freshman year. I was like, okay, you're thrown into this group of like 200 girls. There's going to be people you don't necessarily click with. There's going to be people that you really click with. And I think it takes time to find your people. And I think that was like the biggest thing for me freshman year of like expecting to immediately be in this group of people. And like, everybody loves each other and that's just, it's unrealistic anywhere. So I think definitely like the time took me to find my people. I totally agree with that because I think this story that, oh, you get

into a sorority and they're your best friends for life instantly. I mean, you have to find your people regardless, even if the sorority feels like, okay, these are the people that I am gravitating most towards, it still takes time and it still takes work to find the people that you really are going to connect with. But leaving sorority life, you know, do you now have the people that are lifelong friends, like, were you able to find them? 100%. I am so grateful because I knew like going into college, especially being on the dance scene, that I was going to leave with like lifelong friends. And I was already like, okay. I feel like that really creates a body. bond as well, though. Oh, 100. Even if it's just like a trauma bond from like practices and like going

through all this stuff. Everything. Yeah. But I also was really like, I guess pleasantly surprised after four years of like how many people that I would consider like lifelong friends. Like it's so cheesy when people say bride's names. But it's so true of like girls that I met through rush, like through Greek life, like all of that. I definitely met. my lifelong best friends and I'm very grateful that I participated in it. That is so amazing. Well, I'm so glad that you had such a good experience and thank you so much for coming on, Brooke.

It was amazing talking to you. We appreciate it. A decade ago, I was on the trail of one of the country's most elusive serial killers, but it wasn't until 2023 when he was finally caught. The answers were there, hidden in plain sight. So why did it take so long to catch him?

Listen to the Happiness Lab on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your shows. Hey, Tanisha. Hi. Are you in your dorm right now? I'm in my dorm right now. Oh, amazing. Are you a freshman? I am. Oh my God. How are you like? it. No, no, no comment. Oh, oh, I thought you didn't hear me. I was like, oh, no, you're okay. You're okay. You know, honestly, I don't think it's really, really bad. You know, it definitely could be way

worse, but I miss my bed at home. It's way more comfy. Yeah, so are you a little homesick? Um, I just came back from break. So that's probably what it is, but I miss, it's so weird because when I'm home, I miss my college friends, but whenever I'm here at college, I miss my hometown friends. Yeah. So, yeah. It's that weird adjustment. I mean, it's your freshman year. Yeah.

My sister is in her sophomore year now, and my other sister's in her junior year. But my one sister came home constantly. And it was, she just wanted home and her bed and our dog. And it's just, it's that sense of feeling like. you have something with you. So like bring like a blankie or bring something with you to college to make you feel like you're more at home. Yeah. For me it's such a big adjustment because I'm from a rural community. So literally it's just farms from, you know, where I live. So moving to Tuscaloosa, people say it's a small town, but I'm like, guys, no. The, y'all have not been. I visited

Bama before. I felt like there was nothing around besides the University of Alabama. and like a sex shop. I'm not even kidding. Yeah, there's literally like nothing in my hometown. So at least we have an Ulta here. I have to drive an hour to go to Ulta back in Kentucky. Wow. Yeah.

Okay. So that's a step up. I mean, I think they definitely like built Tuscaloosa like around the University of Alabama. So when you are there, there is, you know, there's food places. There's not just a such job. But when I did visit my friend at Bama, she took me to like the legendary sex shop. And I was like, oh my God, is this what you guys do here?

Do you always want to go to Alabama? Like, not really my whole life. There's a college around where I live, Moorhead State University. And that's the one everybody goes to. So I was convinced that I was going to go there for quite a while until I got it. into maybe my sophomore junior year of high school. I compete with Miss America. So with that, a lot of girls get a scholarship to the University of Alabama.

So I thought, hmm, maybe I should look into that. And I found my calling of wanting to be an addiction counselor. And I seen that they had a great addiction and recovery program. So here I am. Wow. That's amazing. I love that. Then did you start making like TikToks and

videos when you were at college or did you start doing it before before i started making tic talks like my senior year of high school i kind of wanted to document you know those final moments i definitely missed a lot of my friends from high school and a lot of the clubs i was a part of i was president of a couple clubs so i wanted to document those last moments and also wanted to document you know me going to college and i figured since i was going to alabama it'd be a good way to, you know, keep my friends back home all on the same page and in touch and see what all I'm up to. Oh, that's amazing. So you kind of, were you more vlog style? Yeah, I'm more vlog style now that I'm in college, but my content, like, my senior year of high school

was mostly just like get ready with me. It's like I just do my makeup. And that's how you started. Okay, I love that. So now that you're at the University of Alabama, a team. Take us through your rush process. Oh. I heard it's intense. I mean, I was just at the, I just went on the recently the TAR Cosmetics brand trip and I was with Kylin Darnell.

And she, she's amazing. She is the sweetest girl ever. But I mean, you know, and her sister Izzy didn't, you know, didn't do Alabama rush. So I'm, well, she did. But then ended up. up not picking a sorority and ended up dropping out of rush. But how was your experience? Because I know it could definitely be super intense. Yeah, I have to say it was crazy. Especially for me, I knew absolutely

nothing about Greek life. I felt like it took a lot of convincing to even let, you know, my parents say, okay, yeah, you can go do this thing because there was such a stigma around sorority life and, you know, all of that. And they just didn't want me to get into something that was bad for me. And I was like, no, guys, look, they have a philanthropy and sisterhood events. I was like, guys, please. So they said, okay. Once they did their own research, they're like, this is kind of cool.

Yeah. I mean, also rushing at Bama, when you're seeing it from the outside and just looking at the houses and how just elevated it is compared to other schools. Yeah. It really is something that you look at and you're like, wow, I really wish I could be a part of that one day. Did you look at Kylin or Izzy's TikToks and kind of like do a little research for yourself before rushing at the University of Alabama? My research really consisted of going on the UA Panalytic website and they had a little page for each one of the sororities. So I got on there, kind of looked to see, oh, I really like this philanthropy or things like that.

that. Wait, you're like the cutest and purest person in the world. I'm like, I'm figuring because you, you know, you did TikTok, you were starting on TikTok that that would be in your algorithm going to Bama and you're like, no, I actually looked on the U of A B. Your research well. I mean, obviously I had seen Kylan's videos and I knew a little bit of them, but I wasn't set on necessarily like copying or any of that. Like I wanted to make my own kind of brand and do my own OOTDs and stuff. And I definitely needed help trying to figure out what to wear.

So I did look at InSpo. I found out like the crazier, the skirts, the better. And I went dress shopping in Tuscaloosa. And then I thought, well, maybe I shouldn't go dress shopping in Tuscaloosa because then everybody's going to get their stuff Tuscalissa. So it was, it was a big thing. And then, uh, Ava Presley, Ava Presley reached out to me when to send me dresses for rush. And I was like, okay, I didn't know it was that big of a deal. It's a dress company. And I was like,

okay, yeah, girl, go right here. Do a lot of your friends at school. Do a lot of them, like TikTok and stuff too? Not really. A lot of the girls here at Alabama, they do, you know, TikToks and stuff. It's kind of normal. Whenever I first came here, I was so nervous about filming in public and stuff because I was like, oh my gosh, people are even thinking I'm crazy. But you usually will see someone casually vlogging and it's like, okay, maybe I feel like it's so normalized now. Yeah. But it was weird. Even when I was in school, it wasn't that big yet.

It really started after COVID, but now you guys are in a time where everyone's recording. And really, I would say, like, everyone is trying to become a part of this industry because it really is so amazing. And you get so many opportunities, gifted so many things. Like, it really is a life-changing job to have. And I just think that so many of this, so many people in your generation want to just give it a shot, as everyone should. and that's why it's so normalized, but it's so funny because like when I was in school, no one was making TikToks like, you know, like it was until after COVID. But I love that.

Did you have like a rush coach or anything like going into sorority? I did not. I went in completely blind. And honestly, I think that's part of the best piece of advice I could give someone because. Yeah. I did kind of hear some things like, oh, this is top house, whatever, whatever. I was like, okay, I can't even, like, I don't even know what words are coming out of your mouth because I did not.

I was not like, Delta, like, Delta, like, I didn't know what any of that was really. I knew that was the names of houses, but I didn't, like, put them together or anything. So I just kind of blocked that out. And something for me was in the classroom. comments of all my videos, people were like, oh, I bet she's going to go this. Yeah. I bet she's going to do this. And I was like, y'all, some of the things that they were coming, I was like, I hadn't even stepped into that house.

And it was just so funny to sit back and watch and be like, I know what I'm doing and you guys are guessing. And it was, it was really funny to be like, oh, yeah. Totally. So where did you end up? I'm a delta gamma now. Okay. So I was really happy. I mean, I'm very happy with Delta Gamma.

And I always kind of knew whenever I was going through the process, it kind of, I felt noticed there. And a lot of times the houses will talk to you about things on your resume. And that's really it. But Delta Gamma, whenever I was going through the process, they were asking about me as a person. What do I like to do with my friends? And not just the things that looked good on paper. and that's what made them stand out to me. That's awesome.

So just like clicked with them. Yes. And are you excited for the next four years? Do you think you'll stay in your sorority? I definitely think I will. I absolutely love my big Gracie. She has just been such a good mentor to me and has taken me under her wing. And I've made so many good friends through Delta Gamma.

and just being a part of something that's kind of bigger than yourself is so, it's so impactful. And it gives me a sense of home. Like, the DG house is home to me. And I'm really happy to say that. That's amazing. Well, I'm so happy you found your home at DG. And even though I know you get a little homesick, it's so normal. You're in your freshman year, but really just take this experience.

I'm so happy because now you're in your second semester in DG. I'm sure, you know, you would have realized by now if maybe this wasn't the place for you. So I'm so happy you made the right decision and that you're living out your college experience. Keep posting those videos.

Listen to the Happiness Lab on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your shows. Hey, Sadie. Hi. Where do you go to school? school? So I went to school. I went to Northwestern. I graduated in 2022. And yeah, I was in a sorority. I

was in a sorority from my freshman, the junior year, and then mid-Junior years in COVID hit. And so then I took a year off and then went back to school. And at that point, I dropped the sorority, but was in it for a good chunk of time. Yeah, you were in it. You're fine. Yeah. Everyone drops it by their junior year anyway. Some people drop even their sophomore year. So there's only, I can't, yeah, you dropped, right, Daisy? Yeah, I dropped because I went abroad and they were trying to make me like, I got a girl to fill my room in the house and they were still trying to make me to pay for the room in the house because they didn't have enough girls to fill it because it was like right when COVID was happening and stuff. I was like, I got someone to fill my room. And then they were like threatening me

with like a lawyer and stuff. Okay, I'm out. Like, wait a second. No, I mean, that was the thing. There were some points where like, I love the girls in my sorority, but being in a sorority, I was like, I quickly realized,

I was like, I don't think I'm cut out for this. I think it's more so a me problem. I was like, I couldn't abide by any rules, which was definitely something I needed to take a long, hard look in the mirror at, but it is. There's like a lot of politics and logistics to it. For sure.

That's hilarious. So then where did you end up? Like how was your rush process? Take us through all of that your freshman year. Oh my God. I mean, this is like such a crazy time. No,

I, it was good because Northwestern, I like Greek life was, it was a thing there, but it's not from the magnitude I've heard at other schools. It was really nothing in comparison, which I think had I gone to, you know,

one of those like southern schools or just a big 10th, like another big 10th school. I think it would have been too overwhelming for me. But rush, It was, it was, it was like the winner of my freshman year. I remember being like so nervous and I would, yeah, I was like on the phone my parents and I'm just like, I don't even know like what's happening. And I just like, you just start crying randomly. And I was like, why like what's happening? But it ended up being a good process. And my best friend, who was also my roommate,

we kind of rushed and were wanting to be in the same sorority and we ended up in the same one. And we were in Kappa, Kappa gamma. I say Kappa. And then I'm like, I know there's, other but yeah, capa, capa gamma. God, I had said that in so long. And yeah, but the rush process itself was good, but I remember, like, people were saying, like, initiation was kind of the big thing. And I people had, like, spread these rumors that they make you go into the, I don't know what I can say on here, but you can, you make, you go on. You could say anything you want. Okay. Yeah, just filter me at any point. But that initiation was like, they brought you into the basement and, like, made you do drugs. And I was, like, freaking out. I was like,

like, oh my God, like, I'm going to, like, I have to quit. Like, this is not going to work. And then, like, the night before, like, they were like, okay, girls, we have a surprise in the basement. And I was like, literally to my friend, I was like, I've got to call my mom. I've got to get out of here. I was leaving. I was like, I was like, you guys, I have a TV that's up them. If it's drugs, Sue, they're not. I can't do it. Like, please. Like, I'm so scared. And then we go downstairs. And they just had a feast of food for us. Like, it was like McDonald's ice cream. And I was like, oh my God, this is the best day of my life.

And so then I just like, I don't know if it was the stress or what, but I ate so much. I ended up like throwing up the morning of initiation. So it ended up being completely fine. I just, yeah. I'm dead. This is so funny. Did you meet a lot of friends in your sorority? Yeah, yeah.

My sorority, yeah, there were a lot of like great girls that I met. And as I said, like my roommate and best friend, we kind of, we went into it together and we roomed in the house together. we got in trouble a lot together. But yeah, I love the girls in the class. And the girls above us, too, I was really close to. And like overall, that was the thing. I think had I not liked the girls so much,

I probably would have dropped it sooner, just because I don't think I like being in a sorority that much, but I did really like the people in it. That's awesome. That's great. Did a lot of them end up dropping, too? Yeah, my roommate did one of my other best friends who was in it. She also did. And I think most I think most girls in my class did because of COVID after like even people that I wasn't.

I think that just kind of disrupted a lot of it. But yeah, I mean, it was a time. My ran big was the president, the year that I lived in the house. And like it was just always funny because I was like the trouble child. And I wouldn't even do anything that bad. It was just, I don't know. I think I didn't know the rules. And yeah.

You were just living your college life. Yeah. I like need to hear this story though. Can you please give us the story of when you gave a tour to your national representative? Representative. So that story, so the story I posted online is kind of a mix of two stories because I didn't know what I could say that we get flagged. But the national person that I gave a tour to actually accuse me of being high. And I don't smoke weed. I think I'd actually love it. But every time I've tried to, my Facebook, up so I have like a lot of allergies so I feel like that it's okay whenever I smoke weed I have a panic attack and think I need to get hospitalized so that's why I don't smoke weed no I mean literally I honestly I thought that would be the most anxious human being ever so I feel that 100% I but yeah I'm there's

something about it I'm like I want to be chill but every time I do it I like it's so there was one time the guy I was like hooking up with he slept over at my sorority house and I had taken it edible the night before and I woke up and like you know when you just feel your face like being like swollen and I was like and he was like trying to say goodbye to me I just had my head face in the pillow and I was like yeah no you got I'm good and sleeping so thank you um I'm like please uh but yeah so I given her a tour and I don't know what I have no idea why she had thought this and I'll tell you the other story of getting inebriated in that whole situation because I was separate but so after I gave her tour I was like okay I think that went really well.

I was in charge of giving her a tour because I got in trouble with standards for I honestly there were a few I can't remember but I was like I think I made a good impression like that was good and then I got an email from like our chapter standards and I was like what the hell did I do like what and I went in there and they were like hey so like the nationals like rap that was here she like mentioned that the girl I gave her a tour was high and I was like me oh me no No, I was like, no, I wasn't what? I was like, you guys, I don't smoke weed like that. And they were like, okay. And then she had also like said something else of why I think she had thought that. And I, it was a whole thing. But it was right, right after that, I got in trouble for post-mating alcohol to our house. And our house mom caught it.

Yeah. And I got, yeah, it was. So those two things happened together. But that was what happened. I gave this like the nationals a tour. And I thought it went, I like took a picture of her with the arch is like this thing known at Northwestern. And I was like, oh my God, girl, like smile. But yeah, then she just clearly was not pleased with me.

I don't know what. I was like, I feel like this may be a personality flaw in that she saw on me and is complaining about. But yeah, and then like a couple weeks later, I had post-made alcohol to our house. And obviously alcohol was not allowed. I was underage at the time. The guy, the go-puff guy actually rejected my ID. not the go-buff guy i feel like they barely even check it i was like wait what i know he like pulled up i was like oh whoa whoa no my delaware id no wait i mean hold on i don't think let me just wipe it off on my

pants it might be a little blurry i don't know what's happening don't they just have to scan it yeah well that was that was the thing i was like i thought i thought i just had to do like a signature or something because you see that's what happens in the last but he pulled out some sort of like I can't. He pulled out something. It felt like an airport like black. I was like, oh, like this is not going to go well for me. And then he just like, he was like, I'm sorry. This doesn't work. And then I walked back into the house and my house mom, I guess, had met him like he had knocked on the front door and she had answered it. And I didn't know because I'd walked around the back of the entrance of the house to meet him because I thought he was outside. So then I walked back in and

she was standing there. And she's like, are you kidding me, Sadie? Like, are you kidding me right in front of my face? You're going to get alcohol to this house. And since it got rejected, I was like, I was like, see, I was like, I'm not drinking. Look, there's no alcohol in my hand. I was like, I was, I think the wrong address. He made a mistake. She was like, I watch you scan your ID and get it rejected. And I'm, okay. Well, so, yeah, and then I got called in for that as well. And they were like, you were, send me breed. Yeah, it was just, there was a lot of, in hindsight, it's probably all character flaws on myself. But I love it. You were just living your life as you should. But you weren't even drunk.

So then did you explain that to them? And then did they understand it? Yeah. I mean, didn't they blame it on the platform, ugs? Well, I mean, that was the thing. Well, okay, so that was an other one too. And so I, that also like I, I just like, I don't know if it was, I think, yeah, I honestly have no idea what it was.

They were like, you know, she said that I also, when I was giving her the tour, we were walking for part of it, but then also I used a golf cart for part of it. And I'm not the best driver. So I think, like, this is honestly therapy, you guys, because now I'm looking back on this. I'm like, I have a lot to work through. I think as a human. I, uh, yeah, I mean, she, this is, she couldn't complain being like, I don't think this girl should be driving a golf car. I think she's this girl's a little bit too, like crazy probably wouldn't have led her into the chapter in hindsight.

But I was like to say that I'm high and, you know, under the influence of anything is, I was like, that's not technically true right now. Yeah, and I was like, see, I don't even know alcohol in my room. It got rejected, but I go puff. So did everything end up working out, though, when you went to standards? Like, did they end up, like, understanding where you were coming from? Did they believe you? Yeah, they thought it was, like, funny. They were like, this is, this feels very fitting for the type of member of this chapter you've been. So they, and it was funny because we used to do in like chapter meetings every Sunday, Kappa kisses and disses. And my like grand big. as like she had done like she was like cap a kiss to my um grand baby for like post mating alcohol to the house and being speaking and I don't know I think I'm just an idiot I didn't piece it together and I looked at my friend I was like oh my god I was like sorry like I don't know sorry so funny but overall do you feel like you had a good experience with sorority life yeah yeah I think it was like it was an experience so I always say like I love just getting experiences because I feel like it, especially doing comedy, it's helpful. And, you know, I,

I've met a lot of great people through it. Um, so and it, yeah, it added something, but and you also learn what you don't like. I was like, yeah, I don't think this was probably, you know, I don't think I was cut out for it for sure. And do great stories. That's the thing. There's so many fun, like, I mean, yeah, the stories were crazy. I remember like the rush process to, like, when you are rushing girls, that was also like, I just would feel, You know, you, then you watch them and you feel like, don't worry, God. Like, it's okay. I'm like, I had to give a speech.

My friend and I, we did a sisterhood speech for one of the rounds. And at the time, I didn't know that I was celiac. So, which is one of the allergies. And I had been, like, eating rice crispy treats about, like, not gluten-free. All, like, just the whole, because there's just sugar. Everyone's, like, eating them because you're staying up and you're, like, you know, doing the whole process. And so I'm literally, like, giving this speech with my pants on butt.

And you just see girls all worried. And I'm like, guys, like, don't work. Like, my pants are on. Like, I am so bold. I don't know what's wrong with me. Like, I actually might shit my pants. Like, don't worry. Like, this isn't that serious.

Like, it's going to be okay, which I will know the best representation. But I feel like that's the thing is I was just like, you want to then tell people like, don't work. Like, don't take it too seriously. And don't only do it if it's going to add something to your life. I feel like, you know. Oh, I will. I will.

We can literally talk to you all day. But unfortunately. We have to wrap up the call, but this was hilarious and you are hilarious. So just keep going. And I hope after this Zoom call, you are now on my for you page because I was peeing my pants this entire time. Oh, my God. No, I feel like I literally just, I needed a muzzle, but I, that you guys are. No, this was incredible, like incredible.
