Starting point is 00:00:00 The following podcast is a dear media production. She's a lifestyle blogger extraordinaire. Fantastic. And he's a serial entrepreneur. A very smart cookie. And now Lauren Everts and Michael Bostic are bringing you alone for the ride. Get ready for some major realness. Welcome to the skinny confidential, him and her.
Starting point is 00:00:22 For somebody just starting out, they're starting out in the time where it is oversaturated on social media right now. And there's a lot of the same content. I would say Instagram, you want to post your best videos on there. And also content that'll help elevate your career, which is like a good look for you, you know? This sounds so cliche, but if they're unique to themselves and they love what they're doing, it will translate and it'll do well. Today, we are joined by Hannah Stocking.
Starting point is 00:01:05 Stocking is a major internet personality. You've probably seen her. She has 8 million subscribers on YouTube, 23 million followers on Instagram, and 27 million followers on TikTok. But that's not really why I wanted to have her on. I wanted to have her on because she is so multifaceted. And she shows that in this podcast. She's super well-rounded. We talk all about what she learned from her godmother Jane Goodall, the rise and fall of vine, how she went from a weird kid, those are her words, to a social media star, her exact creative process, content strategy, what creators are like behind the scenes? And of course, you know I had to ask her about her skincare routine and her beauty routine. She's absolutely stunning in person and on social media.
Starting point is 00:01:50 Anyway, I think you'll like this interview. It's weird. It goes all over the place. It has a real rawness to it. So on that note, let's welcome social media star Hannah Stocking to the skinny confidential him and her show. This is the skinny confidential, him and her show. her.
Starting point is 00:02:08 Ready? Okay. Do I just take my jacket off too? Let's see where this goes. Let's take your jacket off. It's going to get hot sweating here. Okay, cool, cool, cool, cool. You can take your shirt off.
Starting point is 00:02:18 I think the HR office is like right next door to me. I put it there. Taylor, are you ready? Yes, yes, I am. What are your animal sex facts? Oh, man, where do you want to start? And how much time do we have? I mean, listen, for this topic, we might have to extend.
Starting point is 00:02:34 Who knows? I read this book. called Zubiquity by Dr. Natterson Horowitz. And there's a chapter in there called Rorgasm. And I've always been really into science, obviously. I have a background in science. I have a pre-med degree. And also animals, my godmother's Jane Goodall.
Starting point is 00:02:51 And so I would always go on like book tours with her as like a little one. And so always into that. So pretty much like I kind of was so into this thought because when I was studying biology, like the main thing that they teach is animal's sole purpose in life is to survive and reproduce. It's not like they have other sexual wants and needs. Sounds fun. And you don't think that like daddy long legs spiders masturbate. They lay on their back and they put their little swindle around their legs and around their genitalia and swivel their legs. And then they ejaculate from that.
Starting point is 00:03:36 Mallard. Wait, hold on. If I see a daddy long leg sitting in the corner of my room, he could be over there jerking off? Yes. Is that why there's so many of them
Starting point is 00:03:44 all the time? Because I feel like you can't get rid of it. Yeah, and why are so many of them always in the corner in your room? In the corner watching and beating off. Wait, I never like thought a daddy long leg is like masturbating. Yeah, that's like an interesting.
Starting point is 00:03:58 I have to let that sink in. They should calm daddy long dicks. Yeah. Also, Mallard. and toads engage in necrophilia. Japanese macarades have lesbian mountings. Bonaboo monkeys go a penis swerding. Like they sward with their penises.
Starting point is 00:04:18 Dolphins have blowhole sex. Krill have orgies in the dark depths of the ocean. Wait, what is? We got to use your imagination. I don't know what blowhole sex is. What's blowhole sex? Well, they have the blowhole on their back. They have the blue hole.
Starting point is 00:04:31 So they're sticking the dick in the hole? Yeah. Like a beluga. What? Like a belugas have that hole. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So do the dolphins. Is that how they get pregnant or is that like face fucking dolphins? Yeah, it's like getting.
Starting point is 00:04:45 How does one have this information? Like, so. I mean, I was going through the brief. I'm like, I wonder what we should talk about today. And this is honestly not where I thought we were starting, but I'm glad we're here. I love it. I mean, keep going. Krill.
Starting point is 00:05:00 We're getting to Krill. Yeah, Krill of orgies in the dark depths of the ocean. And also, there's this marine iguana in the Galapagos Islands that they normally take about three minutes to ejaculate. And so when they mount on the female marine iguana, the bigger marine iguanas push the little guys off before they are able to ejaculate in the female and be able to reproduce. So they've adapted over time to masturbate and then they get their little semen and they put it in a little pouch. So then when they mount the female marine iguana, they do a couple pumps in, take the semen out of their pouch, put it in the girl all before they get pushed off by the bigger one. Hannah, are you describing Taylor? Don't stick your hand in my pocket.
Starting point is 00:05:51 This is how I met Taylor. Taylor is just like a little like, since you're describing animals that have sex, Taylor. I might be part marine iguana. Taylor had a little problem that we've talked about a lot on this podcast, but basically, he couldn't last longer. The marine iguanas were lasting three times more than Taylor. Taylor couldn't only last like
Starting point is 00:06:09 10 seconds. Oh really? He did a lot of them. But there was a period of time where I was like basically like I was apologizing before sex even began or I was like sorry. No way. Wait so why you guys, if you guys talked about it we could just go over. Oh we can't go over Let's go anywhere. But what?
Starting point is 00:06:25 What was happening? What was his problem? I don't know. It was one of those things Taylor's. Oh, you thought it was me. Yeah. Oh, you? Yeah. Well, well, Listen, I have my own set of issues. I didn't marry him.
Starting point is 00:06:37 Sorry, Taylor, but I can't marry someone who's lasting 30 seconds. I have my own set of issues. But do you feel proud of that? You know what, Hannah? I was wondering why you were looking at me with the look of disappointment. I was looking at him. I was confused. I was like, what's going on?
Starting point is 00:06:50 Wonderment. No, Taylor is back there. She's like, no wonder this guy has these tattoos. Taylor or producer had an issue. And what I think it's from, this is my own theory, is that he was watching porn like 400 times a day. And because he was coming all the time, like basically all day long, when he would actually do it with a girl, it was like, oh, that's so interesting because I would think that would be the opposite effect. I would think, like you do it so often that you're depleted. But then what worked was edging.
Starting point is 00:07:22 Are there anything, anybody in the animal kingdoms that they, it's kind of sounds like that he won't want to because he beats off and puts it in a pocket for later. Yeah. So that's kind of what edging's like, except for you don't do that part. A little twist here. Your godmom was Jane Goodall. How does one get that godmother? Yeah. So is a blood relation?
Starting point is 00:07:40 No. No. Okay. My father created, when I was younger, created something called Endangered Species Chocolate Factory. Okay. And a really large percentage, I think like, I don't know, maybe 90 of his proceeds went to the Jane Goodall Institute.
Starting point is 00:07:56 That's her charity organization. And so she was like, oh, like, where are all these profits coming from? I want to meet him and his family. And then we all just got really close. And now she's, yeah, she's my god mom. So you said you would go with her when she was doing all her stuff with primates? No, not with primates. I was involved in her Roots and Shoots organization.
Starting point is 00:08:16 It's another charity. And then also I would go on book tours with her and so. So when you're with her and you're this little, did you think and did other people think that you were destined for this huge stardom? No, no, no, no, no, no. Not at all. No. Were you shy? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:32 I mean, I was shy. I didn't really know what was going on. They'd, like, bring me on stage. They were like, oh, let's have the little one. Come on and introduce herself. And I'd be like, hi, I'm here. And then get all, like, nervous and walk away. So, yeah, I mean.
Starting point is 00:08:46 There's no comedy. Like, when you look back on your childhood, like, not. Oh, there was. There was. I was always the weird kid. I mean, I'm tall. I'm like, I'm a big bitch. You know, I'm like 5'10.
Starting point is 00:08:57 And I was also a lot skinnier. I was 90 pounds. And so I was just this weird gangly kid, but that would like army crawl to class and eat lunch up in the trees and like sometimes like hiss at people. Like that was weird. And so I wasn't like the popular kid, but I wanted to be popular. And so the popular kids would be like, oh, like here's Hannah. Come over here. Make us laugh. Do something. And so then I became like more animated just to make people laugh to like me and get some sort of attention and validation. And it kind of just started from there. At what point did you realize that you could not just monetize, but really get into this as like a full-time gig? And I mean like when you were really little, not when you started to make money on social. Well, when I was really little, social media didn't exist, except for my space. And I mean, I'm from a small town. And it wasn't known to me or anybody around me that social media could be profitable and could be a business venture at all.
Starting point is 00:09:59 And also when I first started, too, when I was on Vine, I was like, oh, that's where you started, right? Yeah, on Vine. Okay. And sure, there was some OG YouTubers, but I wasn't sure about the money they were making or how much and how lucrative it was. And, I mean, I would make like $300 a brand deal when I first started on Vine. That was a lot of money. Yeah. And then I was just, this is crazy.
Starting point is 00:10:21 And then it just kept escalating. And I didn't know the longevity of it. I didn't know if it was even going to last because I think like it all just started blowing up right when I got into it. But you know what? When I think now that I'm like, like an old guy, I'm going back in my brain, when I think of you and some of the other people you were creating with, I feel like you guys were some of the first people to crack like mass collaboration
Starting point is 00:10:45 across multiple individual channels. And you'd like be like, oh, those people are always doing things together. How does that start to happen? Because before that, I think that a lot of these creators, it was like more individuals. It was like, hey, we're not collaborating at all. We're not featuring our pop-in. You guys kind of figured out how to do that.
Starting point is 00:11:01 Yeah, I mean, I think that all kind of stemmed from King Batch and Daystorm Power and all of their comedian friends. So they were already collaborating and binding. And I think King Batch had like a million followers at the time. I was still in college. I was at the gym. And then they're like, hey, like, want to come out of mine with us? And I just, I think I was thrown into that crew. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:11:26 You're at college, you're in the gym. You're like working out. Yeah, in L.A. And I went to college in the Bay Area. I'm from Oregon, and my family just moved to L.A. So I had no friends. And I played volleyball in college, so I would always work out at the gym. I had no friends.
Starting point is 00:11:39 I was, you know, friends with my animals. And they were like the first ones to approach me that weren't trying to hit on me, you know? And so I was like, oh, great. Like friends. I'll do anything, you know? Just have some friends. So they come up to you and they say, hey, you want to be on Vine with us? Yeah, do you want to shoot a vine with us?
Starting point is 00:11:55 And I'm like, what? That's so weird. I thought vines were just taking a video of your cat. Like, why would you schedule to vine? I thought that was the weirdest thing, but I just wanted people to hang out with. And they're comedians, too. They're so fun and funny to hang out with that. It was no-brainer.
Starting point is 00:12:12 So what's the first thing that they put you in? I think it was a batch. There was a car that drove by and then we were like, hey, let me get your number. And then batch jumped on the car, did a backflip, kind of, fell and then he was like put the back flip though and I was just standing there that's amazing I feel like we need to bring that back what the hell happened to vine the whole thing just kind of crumbled the whole thing crumbled yeah just went away that's okay though because it evolved platforms and I mean it's worked out it's it's worked out okay for a while they were just I mean I don't know
Starting point is 00:12:43 Elon's doing a lot of wild stuff right on Twitter but like hey I think Elon's going to bring bind back I know how do you feel about that I mean bring it back do you think it or you don't think it would work anymore it would be really interesting if they did bring bring bring Vine back I mean, I would obviously go on it, but I think like right now for creators, there's so many platforms already that I already feel like I'm drowning in it all the time that another platform added on to that would be insanity. But I mean, I'd try it out and see how it is. I think like because I really like how the platforms now are helping you monetize and having your content be profitable. And so I feel like for that to work, if they were to give us some sort of money, that would be great. And help a lot of creators get on the platform.
Starting point is 00:13:34 If Vine relaunches and it comes out, you have to film the same video that you launched with again. You guys have to redo it. Recreate it in the same exact spot, Whipple Street, North Hollywood. A hundred percent. That would be iconic. Yeah. Yes. So after Vine, you had obviously made it big. How did you handle that pivot?
Starting point is 00:13:56 Was that depressing to have all of a sudden it's gone or had you already built a following on other platforms? So you were like, who the fuck cares? I think my story's a little different because my goal wasn't to get a lot of followers. It wasn't to do social media full time. It was to actually be a doctor. So after I graduated from college, I needed the year off because I double majored in biology and chemistry. I did embryonic stem cell research, and I was playing volleyball that I didn't have a social life at all. I was completely depleted.
Starting point is 00:14:29 So I needed a year off to study for the MCAT. And in that year, I was obviously like when I wasn't studying, I was hanging out with my vine friends and shooting vines. And so I kind of just said to myself, once I make enough money to pay for medical school, I'm going to go to medical school. And then I made that in like a couple of months. I was like, wow, this is great. And then it just kept escalating and escalating. And then I kind of just took the chance to take more years off. And now I've taken about nine years off from going to medical school.
Starting point is 00:15:00 And here I am. So you've always been, and I mean this is a compliment, like a science medical nerd. You're into this stuff. And that was, and still to this day, or like now that you've had this career, they're not an interest anymore? Oh, there's definitely, there's definitely an interest. I'm always looking up random things. I mean, yesterday I was looking up how you could wash your brain with your breathing.
Starting point is 00:15:23 What? Did you know that? What? Yeah, if you do like yogi breaths, you actually wash your brain as well as when you're in REM sleep. Your cerebral spinal fluid washes out everything in your brain pretty much when you're breathing. But I know when you're sleeping in REM sleep, it washes out your brain as well, but also amyloid beta. And when there's an excess of amyloid beta in your brain that creates a lot of like mental ailment. So it's good to get sleep and do good breathing exercises.
Starting point is 00:15:53 Like Wim Hof breath work would wash your brain. I don't know about Wim Hof, but probably. I know that yogi breast. That's just what I was reading last night. But yeah, I'm always like, I love learning and knowing how things work and why. Well, you know, I was saying before we started that I think we have a mutual friend. And I knew you were into this stuff. And I don't know if this is exactly how we got connected here today, but our friend, Dr. Craig Conover.
Starting point is 00:16:17 I know. Oh, my God. You know Conover? He's the best. What's up? Yeah. I love Conover. I was just texting him.
Starting point is 00:16:24 So now we can nerd out, right? Yeah. Yeah, he's been on here twice and his life as well. He's awesome. He's our doctor. And like he, you know, he's just like, have you done the NAD? No, but I've, oh, actually, yeah, I have. What do you think?
Starting point is 00:16:36 Rough on the tummy? Not on the tummy. You know what it was? When I did it, I had the, I gave myself the own shot for the NAD. The IV? Was it? No, it wasn't IV. No, he sent me the shot. He sent me the shot. And then I did it myself. And like in two days, I was filming I Carly. And so I don't know if I was stressed about that and thinking like, oh my God, do I have COVID? Can I not shoot? Is it the NAD? And I was freaking out. So I don't know. I just never took it again. But I don't know if that was it. Michael loves it. But I'm too scared.
Starting point is 00:17:09 Not doing all this up with him. The peptides, NAD. Do you still do peptides? I stopped because I did him for a little while. I did one for like the brain. I did one for strength. And then I. I. just like, I'm just taking a break for a minute, but I liked it when I did it. And I felt like the brain one especially I needed like a, I tried his fat loss peptides. I really liked them. I mean, I had a good experience. What do you think? I do the glow and strength. The glow.
Starting point is 00:17:31 Whitney Cummings does that too. Whitney, yes, she's the one who introduced me. Okay, so, so it sounds like the glow across the board is the good one. Say it again? It sounds like the glow is the good one. That's a skin one. I need to try the skin one. Conover's got his little rolodex.
Starting point is 00:17:46 Conover, who else you got there? Put some of these other people, these high performers on our show. He does have high performers. He works with high performing people. Well, he's interested in people that like kind of want to go beyond just the basic medical care, right? Yeah. He's like, okay, like what's the next thing you can do? Have you ever nerded out with Dr. Conover?
Starting point is 00:18:02 You know, I actually just met him at Whitney Cummings House and then we got connected. So I've never really sat with him one on one on like a podcast and really was able to get into his brain, which I would love to do. But I text him all the time. I just texted him a couple of days. days ago, I was like, hey, what's better to sleep in cold environments or hot environments and why? I asked him like weird things. What did he say? He said cold. And then I said why and then he didn't text me back. Dr. Conover? I know. What the heck? He's so interesting. He is awesome. So is there a part of you now with the huge career that you have that you look at it and you're like, I kind of want to
Starting point is 00:18:42 go back to medical school or is there no part? You know, I just, I love what I do so much. And I really love making people laugh. I think that we live in a world where, I mean, even in not even on social media, even in real life and on social media, there's so much, it just flooded with so much negativity that I just, I want to at least try to help in some way to loosen it up a little bit, brighten up people's lives and make them a crack a smile at least. So I really, I really love that. I think I also love helping people, but I like being able to. to do something new every single day instead of staying in the library
Starting point is 00:19:20 for eight hours a day. Yeah, you know, that makes total sense. Yeah. How do you deal having such a big platform with all these comments? And I'm even talking about the positive ones too because it's a lot, like to read all these comments, it's overwhelming, I would think.
Starting point is 00:19:37 I'm sure there's a lot of amazing comments, but I'm sure there's a lot of hateful comments. You're the perfect person to ask. Do you even read the comments? Sometimes when I was first starting, Of course, I was reading all of them because it was so new and exciting and I want to know what everybody's saying about me. I want, you know, validation. And then you get to that one negative one and it ruins your day for a week.
Starting point is 00:20:00 And I think that I've been in the game for so long. It's been like 10 years now. Sometimes I don't even read the comments. I mean, I'll check it for the first 10 minutes and see if people are liking it. If I need to delete it or not, if it's a heater or deleter. What's a deleter if it's not landing well? Yeah, if it's not performing well, as well as it would. So you just bail on it.
Starting point is 00:20:24 You don't just leave it up. You just you're like, that sucks. Yeah, just archive it or repost it. But yeah, if people are saying like, oh, this is whack or whatever they're saying, then, yeah. I mean, I'll listen to them. I'll take the constructive criticism. But for the most part, no, I don't. I should have consulted.
Starting point is 00:20:40 I got a lot of deleters, I think, on my account. I think I got a lot of ones that I got to bail online. When they say delete or when you get criticism, what's what is, what is? the criticism that usually get for the content. I'm just curious. It's probably like, oh, this isn't funny. Women shouldn't do comedy. You're ugly.
Starting point is 00:20:55 You know. But like for those kind of comments where they're like kind of just like there's no substance of that comment, it's just like the low, like you know what I mean? Like there's no, there's nothing. Like for example, people will write in sometimes be like, your voice sucks. You're annoying. It's like, okay, like I can't do anything with that. I can't change this.
Starting point is 00:21:10 But if it's a piece like, hey, you interrupted or like I didn't like that topic, I can maybe think about that. But for the other stuff, like, what do you do? Like, what do you do with that even? Just swipe right, click the red delete, and then bada boom, bada bing. I'm out of here. Klinique, to me, is so nostalgic. It just represents high school because I used to wear their perfume.

I ordered ice from room service and stuck it in there. I did the cold plunge. I brought my ginger tea. I had a huge water bottle full of chlorophyll on the flight. And then of course I brought a ray. So they have these capsules. They're called bloat capsules, and there are a blend of five herbs and a fruit-based digestive enzyme. And basically, the whole capsule is designed to target bloat, but naturally. So within the capsule, it's like the most amazing ingredients ever. They have slippery elm, peppermint, dandelion root, lemon balm, ginger root, and bromelene.
Starting point is 00:24:10 Fun fact, bromeline is also found in pineapple, which is great for bloat. So I like to take my array after I eat. I'll take two, especially after a heavy meal.

Starting point is 00:26:53 Well, actually, it depends on the platform. It doesn't matter the day, but I post the same time on YouTube, but I post a different time on Instagram. And TikTok's a little bit more lenient. YouTube shorts I post before one, no later. And then Snapchat is throughout the day, real time. Or I'll bulk shoot and then. What is your strategy behind all this?
Starting point is 00:27:17 Meaning, like, do you, like, is Monday's, like, your conference call day? and then on Tuesdays you are editing YouTube. Is there a strategy behind it or you just wake up and do whatever you feel like? I wish it was, yeah, I wish I was more organized. It's kind of like gunshot wake up. Oh, no, I'm late. It's like somebody's already on my house, ready to shoot, but I forgot I have this conference.
Starting point is 00:27:41 And then I need a post. And then I forgot I had to edit. And then I have the Texas guy. Like, it's always just chaotic all the time. Lauren, you know she was tattooing people. one point? I still am. I tattooed half my family for Christmas. Can you tattoo my name on his ass? Actually, I kind of want yes dear on your butt. Well, I can't see it. So then I just will never it's still want to call. Let her tattoo your ass. Yeah, but I'm saying if you're, if you're intention
Starting point is 00:28:06 tattooed Darth Vader on my friend's butt before. Come on. Like, what do you rank yourself now? I mean, I know you were doing it from. I haven't seen it in a while. So I've you improved. Oh, it's improved. Where's your level out here? I can't do shading or color. I have. Okay. Doesn't look pretty. But I am really confident in my stencil work. It's so good. And I'm fast and efficient. I could easily do it. Come on. I could go. I could literally go. I could fire up the barrel. What's the five minutes. How does one stumble into this? Yeah. It was locked down. In lockdown.
Starting point is 00:28:40 So you just like lockdown. I need to figure this out. I'm going to go buy a tattoo gun and I'm going to start tattooing all my friends. On Amazon. I found a tattoo gun on Amazon. 20 bucks. I started begging my dad. Can I please tattoo you? No, get out of my room. And then I started tattooing myself, my toes. You know how people have arm sleeves? I want socks on my feet. Like, I just want to blast my feet.
Starting point is 00:29:01 That's why I started doing. Started tattooing myself a lot. And then I bought my house. And then I started having... And are these light tattoos that are fading off? Are these like your tattooed now? Yeah, permanent. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:10 They're in there. Yeah. They're like these. They're dark. They're in there. Yeah. There's a lot of them, too. A lot of random ones.
Starting point is 00:29:15 You just randomly. Like, one day you're sitting bored. Like, I'm going to just tattoo. So the whole thing. Yeah. And then it got to the point where I'm like, oh, I got everything I wanted. I'll just spin the wheel and then whatever I land on. Landed on a tadpole got that tatted.
Starting point is 00:29:29 It looks like a sperm, but I call it a tadpole. Taylor would love one of those. Taylor, you want your first tattoo? It represents rebirth, you know? I don't have any tattoos, but I'm thinking about it now. Listen, we found someone for you. Taylor wants a tattoo on his penis. Saying what?
Starting point is 00:29:44 Well, I don't know if the word what would fit on that one. Ready or not? You're right. Three seconds. Okay. Okay, so what, with everything that you have going on, I'm sure, I feel like there's a lot of behind the scenes with the creators. What is the politics and the landscape of that? Like, the behind the scenes?
Starting point is 00:30:00 Yeah, are people only friends with people on certain platforms? Is there catiness? Is it like high school? Or is it just chill? I think I've really lucked out with my friend group. We're all really like-minded, driven, chill, cool, friends. We keep a good friendship. business friendship. I have heard stories of other social media people being really catty,
Starting point is 00:30:25 you know, hearing what they say in private and lashing it out on podcasts and there's no like loyalty and things like that. And I would say just the behind the scenes from me and all my friends, it's kind of like, all right, guys, you guys got any ideas? Because right now I got nothing. Like, please help me out. And then we're just like picky our brains and always just trying to come up with concepts or joking and I don't I don't know it's like we never really we have heart to hearts but normally it's 90% joking around do you find it hard maybe to make new friends because you guys have built such incredible platforms then people come in maybe other aspiring creators and like oh maybe I can get in the group and then I'm going to get featured and like maybe
Starting point is 00:31:07 maybe some inauthentic personalities start to pop out there's got to be some inauthentic personality oh yeah some weird ones always come into the bunch yeah A lot of weird ones. And are you guys like... You could see it early on. And is that a problem where you're like, I get it and I appreciate the hustle and like, or like how do you feel about it? Because I feel like you probably at this one your career want to continue to raise people up.
Starting point is 00:31:29 But at the same time, you're like, yo, if you're just here for that. For me, I can tell pretty soon somebody's intentions. And then I just kind of keep them at an arms distance. But if somebody comes to me and they really want to learn and they're really, genuine, of course. I'll help them and they're funny and I'm helping them and they're helping me punch up my ideas and stuff like that. I love that. And it doesn't matter how many followers they have or what status they're at. If, you know, if they're great to be around and great energy, I don't mind that at all. When you guys think up these funny concepts, there's so many
Starting point is 00:32:09 funny concepts on your Instagram, that's got to take a lot of strategy and planning, right? Or no? I mean, that's, you're not just doing it on a whim. No. So what does that look like? What's the brainstorm? Are you getting together? Is it on the phone? Is it on Zoom? I want to know the process. I'm interested in that. For example, I'll tell you, like, what I recently just went through. I was in a vacation for New Year's. It's hard for me to take time off if I'm not working. And so I just started thinking of ideas. They're kind of rough. They're not really planned out. I don't really have the punch. I just have the general idea. And so I just write them out in my notes. And then, And I call somebody who I think would be great in the video and I see what they think about it. And then we meet. And then we act it out. And then we're like, okay, great, let's do this. And then we have our assistants, grab all the props.
Starting point is 00:32:58 And then we kind of organize our time and where we're shooting it and how long it'll take. It's like a full production. It is. Yeah. I mean, right now my assistant's running around, just planning eight videos right now. So you batch it, you batch a lot of videos at once as opposed to just shooting a one-off. Sometimes if I have all, like, a lot of ideas flowing, then yeah, I want to shoot it all immediately because you don't always have all these ideas flowing all the time. Because, you know, sometimes you have like not writers block, but like kind of creators block.
Starting point is 00:33:31 So, yeah, so I like bulk shooting when I, when I am in the creative flow, for sure. Yeah, I think in a way, it must be much more challenging in a lot of ways than what we do here. So, for example, we do this show twice a week every week and done it for seven years. What? That's crazy. But I mean, but we get to have people like you on. And so like, I'm feeding off your energy and just hearing your story. And so, like, some days if I'm feeling off or if she's feeling off or the creativity is not there, it's like, you're still, you're just bringing people in.
Starting point is 00:33:55 And so it's not like always off the top. I mean, this is off the top of the head, obviously. But you know what I mean? Like I don't have to come up with like all these concepts. I'm not sitting there like, holy shit, Hannah's coming in. Like, what are my concepts? Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:05 You kind of feel the flow of it. Yeah. And I'm feeding off of like whoever's there. Exactly. Yeah. But you know what I mean? I imagine like we just sat with a writer here and he was talking about how hard the writing process and like sit down every single day and like you know just do the work and like it doesn't always come
Starting point is 00:34:21 but it doesn't be this like consistent thing. I was like man that sounds grueling. And even just you sitting here describing this now, I'm like man that sounds stressful. Is there like hair makeup, lighting kind of thing like how you would prep for a movie or no? Well it depends. It depends that kind of shoot like if I need to be like oh I'm going to be like looking out of my mind in this shot and I want to contrast that and look beautiful, then yeah, I'll have hair and makeup come and make sure I have my two apertures and all of that stuff. But yeah, if it's just like, it kind of depends the platform and the idea. Yeah. If you, if there's an alien that came down from outer space and they asked you to explain the differences between each platform,
Starting point is 00:35:03 how would you explain them? Meaning like, what are you using Snapchat for versus Instagram versus TikTok? And I think maybe this will help anyone who's like, starting a business and wants to understand each different facet. Well, especially because all these people, like nobody knows where the hell to start or where to place their talent now. It's like they see someone like you and then they haven't started like there's 80 platforms. What the hell do I do? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:23 I would say for somebody just starting out, you know, they're starting out in the time where it is oversaturated on social media right now. And there's a lot of the same content. This sounds so cliche, but if they're unique to themselves, it's, it's a lot of the same content. and they love what they're doing, it will translate and it'll do well. And then as far as each platform goes, I would say Instagram, you want to post like your best videos on there. And also content that'll help elevate your career,
Starting point is 00:36:00 which is like a good look for you, you know, that sort of stuff. What about stories? Is that the same? No, stories is like, I think stories can be used as getting to know. know the person a little bit more instead of like what, like say, like, oh, I'm known for getting hitting the head with a basketball or something. And then do your stories of what's, like, authentic to you. Like, I'll post, like, you know, I had to flush your brain with breathing. And then, like, my cat peeing on the toilet and then me drinking iced tea and stuff.
Starting point is 00:36:32 Your cat peeves in the toilet? A cat pee's in the freaking toilet. Wait, like you taught the cat to be in the toilet? Yeah. How did you do that? I had my assistant get this, it's like this platform that you put underneath the toilet, see you fill it with litter. And then you put them on top of the toilet, then they use it. And then every other week, you cut a hole, a small hole. Every other week, the hole gets bigger and bigger and bigger.
Starting point is 00:36:54 So the cat is peeing in the toilet. I'm going to really need you to teach my chihuahua how to pee in the toilet. Is that possible? The chihuahua is one. Can you do it with a dog? It might be a little late because it's good to do it when they're potty training. My wife thought it was a good idea to have two children under three and then go get a brand new puppy. That's not horrible idea.
Starting point is 00:37:13 Oh my God. Guys, I almost got a new dog on Monday. I almost rescued a dog, but it has a chip in. Go rescue dogs all day long. It is a lot of work. People need to realize. It's almost more work than children. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:37:26 So much work. Especially dogs. They require so much attention. Yeah, and the dog isn't hopping up on the toilet and taking your shit. You know, we should, we should try this with your chihuahua. I think it would be amazing for you and also for social. media. Imagine a chihuahua going pee in the toilet. I've never seen it online before. I will lend you the chihuahua. You know what? I'll just, I'll just literally bring the chihuahua to you guys.
Starting point is 00:37:48 I'll drop the chihuahua off. You guys can let her be famous. Go put her on your toilet. And then she'll never return. I know, I know. I just blow up. You can borrow my chihuahua. Chihuahua starts levitating. We'll reach out to your manager and get your day rate to come over and train our chihuahua every week. Great. Yeah, yeah. She can find the chihuahua. Just take it off your hand. The chihuahua. Yeah, give us the ice rollers back.
Starting point is 00:38:10 We're just going to give you a dog. Honestly, like, could you actually train, though, a dog to go pee on a toilet? I mean, I've never seen it done, but also I've never seen anybody try. Okay, well, maybe you can do the first one. What's the funniest video that you've ever filmed that you think is personally funny? Not that the audience necessarily, like, thinks is amazing. Oh, man. I mean, the audience probably thinks they're all amazing.
Starting point is 00:38:33 But, like, something that you just be like, this is so proud of. Yeah. I would probably say, um. like the weird ones that I like. It actually translated really well because normally it's the videos that you love that flop. And then the videos that you're like, oh, well, I have nothing to post today.
Starting point is 00:38:48 I guess I'll throw this up. And then it goes viral. But this one I really loved and it did well in the pandemic and I had the mask on. I see a cute guy. And I take my mask off and then I'm missing my two front teeth. And he's like, no, no, no, it's okay. And he takes his mask off and he only has his two front teeth.
Starting point is 00:39:06 And then it's like, ha, ha. Then we have a slow moment when we connect our teeth. Did you have to get a fake no-tooth situation? How did you do that? VFX. Yeah. Yeah, my boy boomer. Damn, this is not like creating, you know, wake up with me video.
Starting point is 00:39:29 No, no, no, no. This is like the new age of like television and movie creating. I mean, it really seems like a lot of work. It is, it is, yeah, it's a lot of work. But yeah, it's no, like, wake up with me or get ready with me. It's really weird. Do people ever want that from you, though? Are people ever like, can you just do your makeup or can you just show us your morning routine?
Starting point is 00:39:50 Yeah, I mean, I get that sometimes. Like, what's your skincare routine? You know, I'm going to ask that. I have it on my list. You don't want to know the real. I feel like you're going to say something crazy. You know what's funny. We have.
Starting point is 00:40:04 You just have naturally good skin, right? It's literally on here. It says she has amazing. Can she share herself routine? No way, really? Yeah. That's what it says. Oh, thank.
Starting point is 00:40:13 So do you. Oh, no, no, no, no, don't do that. Yeah, you do. Got the compliment now. I'm gonna hear of glow peptides. I haven't tried that one yet. I don't want to admit, I don't know if I have a 10-step skincare routine. Well, we have all these incredible people come on the show and then like she's throwing stuff on me saying like, hey man, you look terrible like use this now.
Starting point is 00:40:30 Like the other day she'd just like, hit, like she's throwing all this stuff and I'm saying, oh no way. I'll tell her what are you doing, pulling up videos of her? Yeah, please, please, please. Please, please, please. Show us some videos. But don't, I am going to ask you your skincare routine. You know. Oh, Taylor, show us your creepy troll login.
Starting point is 00:40:46 Oh, yeah, I don't have anything. Yeah, your Finster. Okay, while Taylor's pulling this up, can you tell us, like, some beauty skin secrets that you have? Because you do have beautiful skin. Thank you. Well, I am changing it. I'm changing the skin care routine. Okay.
Starting point is 00:41:01 But right now, it's just a bar of soap and grape seed oil. You know what, though? I love grape seed oil. I really do. It's a great thing to take the makeup off with. It works. It is. It is. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:16 And it's also, it has healing properties in it, too. I thought you were going to say just to borrow soap, and then I was going to go back to our closet and give you like a huge bag of skin care because nothing you need it, but like just to be preventative. Yeah. But then you said the grape seed oil, honestly, people douse yourself in oil. Yeah. Grape seed oil is amazing. Me and Whitney Cummings, we bonded over that. She also just looks like a zygote after she puts it on.
Starting point is 00:41:44 She puts so much on. We definitely bonded over that. But yeah, I love it. I mean, I do want to add some, you know, lotions and things like that, like land comb lotions. Yeah. Well, I just added some pink balls and some ice rollers and you can wake up with you. Yes. Oh, I've always wanted to use this.
Starting point is 00:42:02 Because actually, this side of my face has been a little swollen lately. Like the last two weeks, but When I look like this, it's like So I think this will be great. Thank you guys. It's going to snatch. Not that you need it, but it's going to snatch the face. And if you're waking up and someone's just waking you up and you hear your cat pissing in the toilet.
Starting point is 00:42:20 Which is like crazy. It's crazy when you're like getting ready and then you hear like a stream. You're like, oh my God. Then you just see your cat just. I don't. Listen, I know some people and obviously you include it love cats. Cats really creep me out. I understand a dog
Starting point is 00:42:37 No because I just I mean no but it's common for people I can't trust it I feel like a cat only loves its person And I always feel like if I'm not paying attention And there's a cat around And it's like maybe like I've seen these videos
Starting point is 00:42:50 They just come out and they just rip someone's face out of nowhere You're just minding your own business on the couch And then the cat creeps up on there These things these fuckers are quiet right And they just sneak up and then rip Yeah I mean I've never had The only experience that I've had with a cat that's done that to me.
Starting point is 00:43:05 This cat, I named him Cosmo. I got him when he was already grown. He had a lot of trauma in his childhood. And I was walking to like my dorm room and it went, Kanga! And then my whole whole foot started bleeding. So maybe these cats just have trauma. I think these cats are more wild than they,
Starting point is 00:43:23 I don't think they should be domesticated. Yeah, maybe these cats need a therapy. Her cat's literally pissing on the toilet. I don't know what you're talking about. They're not that. It's not that wild. Taylor, how deep are you going here? What's going on here?
Starting point is 00:43:33 There was one I was just watching where she's dancing with these things. I'm sure he was watching one. Here we go. Taylor, hold on one you were just watching. That was a brand. That was a brand deal. This one right here.
Starting point is 00:43:43 Look at this guy though. I was to say you're like, do you do wake up with me videos? And she's got these like, I don't even know how to describe it. That was a Malibu rum brand deal. What was you doing this deep in her videos, Taylor? I'm doing research right now. I was so young there. Look at that.
Starting point is 00:43:57 Do you even have to work out? Because this is a workout. Yeah, that is a workout. Yeah. Do you have to go to the gym and exercise? Yeah, I do. There's one where she's dressed like Squidward. Even though your comedy is so physical.
Starting point is 00:44:09 Taylor, you are so deep in her profile. How do you even know these videos exist this? She's like, I forgot I filmed this. Yeah, I forget about almost all the videos I filmed. Look at this right here. I think Taylor did a deep dive research on you. She's Squidward. So yeah, do your makeup.

Or is it like people can't even approach you because they're intimidated by you, like guys your age? Or do you just have to say fuck it and go older? No, it's tough because I feel like anybody with any kind of like, I guess, status is going to be worried about being used or things like that. And so, yeah, I mean, your guards are up. My guards are always up because, you know, through life in this business, like, you're going to get burned. Everybody does. And so, I mean, I've, you know, dated my fair share of athletes.
Starting point is 00:50:10 It's never gone very well. Has it really never gone well? Ever? No. Not once. No. Well, during it, like sometimes during it, during it. During it's great.
Starting point is 00:50:19 It's going well. It's like the same thing. So, yeah, so I've tried dating people with status and money. And then it's just the same thing. And I've been in a public relationship before and I've, you know, had the pressure of, I mean, I was also really young. You know, making sure I post them. And he was also an athlete and, like, cheating on me and stuff. So, like, I'd hear things.
Starting point is 00:50:40 And then it kind of created anxiety from it. Because it was so public. Yeah, it was public. And then it was like, oh, well, you haven't posted your girl. So in a while. And she's only posting you now. So what does that say about you? And then it kind of gets in your head.
Starting point is 00:50:55 So I personally, I really like private relationships. When you find out someone's cheating on you, is it because of the internet sleuth? Or is it because just like your friends? No, I mean, I mean, It's not that hard to find out somebody's cheating on, especially a man. That's what I mean. Why do they do that?
Starting point is 00:51:16 Cheating, it's harder to find out. 100%. It's like, do guys not know that when you follow a girl, it's in order? It's so easy. It's so easy. They don't know and they don't think about it. It's so easy to catch a cheater in 2020. Yeah, it's almost like try harder.
Starting point is 00:51:33 You should do a show called cheaters, but make it like a new age version for social media. Yeah. Oh, like catching them? Catch the Cheater. Remember that show? Like it's like catfish a little bit? Kind of catching them. Catching the cheater. I like that. It's a strange concept when you see it and people are shocked on.
Starting point is 00:51:50 Actually either sex that they get caught. I mean, especially now. Like you can't blow your nose anymore without someone, you know, seeing it, right? It's like it's impossible. So I always find I'm like, oh yeah, you were the one guy or one girl that was going to trick the world. Right? It's like, it's kind of a, I always just say it's easier to just be like, listen, I'm out. I've got to go somewhere else.
Starting point is 00:52:07 Yeah. I know. Or open relationships. Well, some, I think something. Be more unique, more creative. Some people like the thrill of that. The thrill of cheating. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:18 Yeah, they do. And I think some, and this is going to sound strange, but I think there's always a part to play too. Like some people that are cheating with people that are in relationships also like the thrill. Yeah. Or it's like, oh. Well, I think with Hannah, there's another layer because I can imagine, and you won't say this, but I will, that girls who are going for your,
Starting point is 00:52:40 boyfriends get off on the fact that they're your boyfriend. It's a confidence booster. It's like, oh, I got- It is like, oh, Hannah's man. And then they brag to all their friends or they post about it. Yeah, it's a whole thing. You know what? Maybe no athletes then.
Starting point is 00:52:55 Try no. Oh, no, I'm done with athletes. Yeah. I have a boyfriend now. How many athletes try to slide into the DM? Taylor's got an answer. No, no, I'm not an athlete. I'm just really,
Starting point is 00:53:04 wait, you have a boyfriend actively right now. Yeah. And not an athlete. Private. Private. Keep it that way. Keep it that. We'll see how it goes.
Starting point is 00:53:12 Just taking it day by day. Honestly, take it day by day. I think don't tell anyone. Because the second that you start posting someone, sometimes I think too, they get a little bit of an ego with it. They start to think, oh, like look at me. And the girls start DM.
Starting point is 00:53:31 If we broke up, I would literally just create a profile that says Lauren Everts X. And I feel like that would be the only, Like, because they don't really want me. They're just, they want her leaving. I love, I think you guys are really compatible. I really like you guys together.
Starting point is 00:53:47 I know we just met, but thanks. I love this. I mean, at this point, we've got a, we know each other since we're 12, you know, so. No way. Yeah, that's, that's another great way to meet someone is like, if you know someone for a long time, it's kind of, there's something nice about that because they know you before. Before the relationship. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:03 So you guys kind of, you're from the same town. We're from the same town. Same with Taylor. We all went to middle school. together. And where? San Diego. San Diego. Oh my God. I know. I love that. Small town vibes. Wow. So wait. So in total, how long
Starting point is 00:54:17 of you guys know each other? Because we were 12. So what is that? A million years. How many years is that? 24 years? I know. Long time. We haven't been together that, though. This isn't like Sweet on Alabama. We had time between. I've dated other guys. And dating an athlete is, and I don't have a lot
Starting point is 00:54:33 of experience with this, but I think a lot of my friends do. It's Michael's an athlete. We played high school football. I thought you were to say basketball. I was like, no, you guys didn't. That's a lie. No, but I can assume that it would be, there's so many girls throwing themselves at them,
Starting point is 00:54:48 that it's hard. And I actually have empathy for that, but maybe they shouldn't have girlfriends. Yeah, yeah. You know. Are there no good athletes or just they're all, they're all? I mean, I don't know. I, you know, there can be good athletes,
Starting point is 00:55:02 but here's the thing. I just think that there should be a level of fairness and communication. And if they're like, hey, I'm used to so many girls in my life. However, I do want one girl to settle down with. And I do want all these other girls because I'm traveling and I get lonely. Are you okay with that? And then if the girl is like, yeah, can I do it too? And he's like, yeah, it's fair.
Starting point is 00:55:26 I love that. I don't love when they're like, no, you can't do that, but I should be able to do this. I don't think that's fair. I always fight for fairness. But that's a conversation that transpired with you? Yeah. That's why me and my ex broke up. You know.
Starting point is 00:55:41 He came to you and said, is it okay if I do this? And you were like, no, I don't want, I'm not down for that. If I had that conversation with Lauren, the next conversation you'd all be having would be over my grave. Oh my God. Okay. So this is how it happened. He was like, hey, so I want to like be with other girls. This was literally my reaction.
Starting point is 00:56:01 Okay, so like you want to have an open relationship. And I was like excited. I was like, great, because he's not satisfying me emotionally. I wanted to talk to other guys, get attention from other guys. So I was really stoked about that. And then he said, no, I want to, you can't do this with other guys, but I want to do this. And I said, you know, that's not fair. We're not going to work out.
Starting point is 00:56:24 Yeah, fuck that. Is that weird? Like, because he made me seem like I'm crazy for want me. The narcissism of that is so interesting. You could dissect it like a krill sperm. Like, I can't. For someone to think that they can have an open relationship and you can't. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:43 You know what I would do? If someone came to me and said that, I would say no problem. Go do it. But then... Yeah, let her tell her. There's a twist. I know it's coming. But then I would go mirror their exact behavior without even telling them I'm doing it.
Starting point is 00:56:57 I mean, no. That is not fair. But don't listen. Here's a problem. You've just told this story. And now somehow I'm getting like, she's angry at me. I'm angry at the fact that. People can be so narcissistic as to think that it's okay if they do that, but it's not okay for the other person to do that.
Starting point is 00:57:13 And they actually get mad at the other person for even suggesting it. It's like disgusting. Yeah, I know. Stop looking at me like I did, I didn't have, I'm hearing the story as well for the first time. Yeah, I saw this meme. It's like manipulation is pretty much getting mad at somebody's reaction for your behavior. And that's pretty much what it was. 100%.
Starting point is 00:57:34 It's manipulative. it's egotistical, it's narcissist. It's, I can't. And you know what? That person showed is true color. So when that happens, you're like, I'm out. I was like, uh, fuck the shit I'm out. And also, you're not satisfying me emotionally.
Starting point is 00:57:49 So goodbye. Yeah, yeah. There was a lot of lack of communication. So, um, so glad that's done. Have you heard from that person since? Has he reached out? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:58 Hits me up every week. Good. Let him hit you up every week for the rest of his life. With no reply. Good. How big is this guy? Is you going to hear this? You can come beat me up?
Starting point is 00:58:06 He's big, actually. It's a big boy. He's really seven feet tall. Honestly, he probably did the right thing. You're wrong here. Just in case he's going to hear this and come get me. You really should have taken him back. Asking for a friend.
Starting point is 00:58:22 Would you ever date a regular guy that works a regular job that is not? 100%. Because, you know, it's not about money or fame. Okay. Like, I really like somebody who's passionate about what they do for a living. And normally when they're passionate about something that comes with, you know, success and things like that. I like, you know, talent, great communication skills. Does it have to be talent in like the same kind of creative endeavor?
Starting point is 00:58:52 No, no, no, no, no. Just talent in general. Yeah, like if they're really talented with visual effects or editing or being a botanist. You know, it could have some kind of talent. Yeah, or interest. Okay, but here's my question. Your personality based. How is it, it's hard to meet someone, like, that's your type that you're telling me is your type.
Starting point is 00:59:14 And I have a similar type too if I was single. But in this city, it's a hard city, especially in Hollywood. Yeah. So what do you do? You know, it's, yeah, I just pray. Yeah, I mean, all of it really happens in the DMs. And then, and then, yeah, you just, you go from there. Personally, I really like long distance, really.
Starting point is 00:59:35 relationships because I like a lot of time apart. I like time for me and to focus on my career and get away. I like it feeling like fun and fresh and not seeing the same person every single day. So how does a person get to you in your DMs when you have... Hey, you up? No, but I'm like, how do you even see it? Yeah, what should we send to stand out? Not a weenery, vainy, weird dick pick.
Starting point is 01:00:04 No. Sure. Or. Yeah. And also, like, don't follow a bunch of Instagram models. I mean, it's one-on, though. And post with, like, a big salmon
Starting point is 01:00:14 you just killed and caught. A hundred. So many guys are deleting salmon pictures right now. A lot of guys are. No, don't post with a salmon or a marlin. Yeah. It's like, not. Or like a deer you just get us.
Starting point is 01:00:25 No. Why do women dislike? I don't have salmon picks myself, but why do people, why is that such a thing? It's become a thing. Buy it, buy it from heroin. Like, it's already caught. and like cured.
Starting point is 01:00:35 But maybe they're thinking like, listen, I want to show the dedication it took for me to get into this fucking boat and charge out at five in the morning and then sit out there with all this patience and grow. I know, but it's giving insecure. It is. It is. Like go to the gym. Work on yourself.
Starting point is 01:00:49 Don't go out and like kill something. But don't take a mirror selfie at the gym without your shirt. Like there's like thing. Yeah. Why is guys taking selfies so? Yeah, we can't do a selfie. Listen, I don't do selfies. You know, you, I barely even do normal pictures.
Starting point is 01:01:02 He's good. He's good. He's good. His social media, I feel like passes the check. That's great. That's huge and very hard to find. Taylor's not so much. Taylor would go into every bathroom and every house I've ever lived in.
Starting point is 01:01:15 He would dim the lights slightly. No. Get the shadows going. Get the shadows going. Flex his abs. Take 45 different photos. I would literally be pounding on. This is a true story.
Starting point is 01:01:26 If you go to his Instagram at Tales, you die. He knows. Pull your Instagram up right now. He literally would have. all these different bathroom picks and all these different places that I've lived I mean honestly there's one in West Hollywood. No way. It does have really good lighting now
Starting point is 01:01:41 and not this is a one spirit of my life. There's nothing wrong with that either. If that makes you happy that's great. Well you know what is wrong is when he would do this he would shave his stomach hair with my face razor and I found out that honestly I'm still like if I talk about it right now my blood starts boiling like I almost like I get angry about it and it's been seven years and I'm still mad about it.
Starting point is 01:01:59 He used Michael's face razor to shave his razor and penis. penis? Like the puffs? Like, what's it called the area? Taylor. The happy trails
Starting point is 01:02:10 are you talking about. Taylor, no. Taylor's like, Taylor, why? Can you do a skit with Taylor where he shaves his fucking razor burn penis area with Michael Shamed?
Starting point is 01:02:20 So how did you find, how did you find this out? Because I saw this selfie post some later and then I saw his discussing razor burn stomach and then I saw my razor razor and I'm just due deductive reasoning. And, yeah, I detected it. Yeah, I detected it.
Starting point is 01:02:32 I said, why is that? there, why does that look like that? What's going on? And then I just looked at him and see, I've known Taylor for so long. I asked him to try to like not tell me. He did. He's like, did you use my razor? And he just came to hold. And I was like, oh, how do you know? The audience wants to know three specific questions. Okay. Number one, what is it like to work with Tyler Perry? Oh, Tyler Perry is a brilliant genius mind. It was so crazy how I started working with him because Because my friend actually just got casted in his movie. And, you know, I was at home.
Starting point is 01:03:05 My cat just threw up. I was cleaning up the throw up. The vacuum was on. I look at my phone, my text. It's like, hey, this is Mr. Perry. Can you give me a call? And I was like, and so I called him. He's like, hey, like, it's Tyler.
Starting point is 01:03:20 I think you're hilarious. I just watched all your YouTube videos. What are you doing tomorrow? I'm like, hi, Mr. Perry. I'm like trembling. I'm like, nothing. Why? He's like, I think you're so funny.
Starting point is 01:03:32 I want to write you into my movie. What were you freaking out? I was freaking out. I couldn't breathe. You know how much of a power move that is to be like, hey, it's Mr. Perry out of the blue on a text? Like got my number somehow. What did you do? So then he's like, cool, can you link me with your managers and your lawyer?
Starting point is 01:03:48 Start packing now because I think you need to take the red eye. It was like 5 p.m. It's like, I got a spray tan. I was packing. I had to turn in this YouTube video by tomorrow. I was in a red-eye flight editing the YouTube video. And also I just got in this script right before the flight. And it was a five-hour flight.
Starting point is 01:04:06 I'm reading all my lines. My new lines on the red-eye flight, I land, take a shower, get in hair makeup, shoot my first scene. And somebody's like, hey, have you worked with Tyler Perry before? And I say, I haven't worked with anybody before. And then they're like, oh, okay, well, just let you know. Tyler works so quick that if you mess up your line,
Starting point is 01:04:25 he'll just cut it from the movie. Action. And I was like, so it was crazy. How long were your lines? You had like six, seven big scenes. But yeah, I mean, that first scene, I like drove up on a car, like over the curb, like skid it into the front of this frat house. I was like screaming at my ex-boyfriend for a cheating on me. And it was like a wild scene.
Starting point is 01:04:49 Oh, my God. That is so fun. So you were literally just thrown into a movie. Yeah, that was my first movie experience. It was so nerve-wracking. I have a weird question. you're traveling like that. You said you get on the red eye, this and that. You're beautiful. You're very tall. You have a presence. People must come up to you all the time. What do you do? How do you handle
Starting point is 01:05:08 that? I never say no if somebody asked me for a picture. They all want selfies, huh? All one selfies. Yeah. It's like the new autograph, I guess. And so yeah, so I just take the picture with them. I mean, I always say like, oh, like great to meet you, goodbye. But sometimes, like, I think the person that handles it the best that I've learned from is Miranda Cosgrove. We were flying back from Sacramento and like fans are coming up and what she says. She's like, hi, what's your name? And then they say their name. She's like, cool, nice to meet you.
Starting point is 01:05:39 And then they're like, and then they leave. They get their picture and then they leave. And it's not like a really long experience, you know, with a bunch of people in a row. Like, I think she handles it the best. So I'm going to start doing that. She says, hi, what's your name? Nice to meet you. Yeah, waits for the name.
Starting point is 01:05:55 it was so great to meet you. And then does the selfie. Boom. Because that's what people. I mean, I think that's what people want. They just want acknowledgement, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:02 And if you give them that, it's like, that's all people are really looking for. The acknowledgement, yeah. Uh-huh. And then I think like the creator or the actress, like Miranda, I think like what they want, they, you know,
Starting point is 01:06:12 they appreciate the love and then maybe they're in the middle of something and want to get back to it. So yeah, I think she does. Really good job with that. That's a good tip. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 01:06:21 Before I asked you three rapid fire questions for TikTok, can you leave our, audience with some health and wellness tips. You said earlier that you do like to work out. Do you follow a certain eating plan? Like, what do you do to stay fit to be in front of the camera? I mean, you were doing some scenes that are like some serious scenes in bathing suits, underwear. Like, what's your diet, fitness, health, wellness? I'm definitely really active. I love working out. I do a lot of weight training when I can. Sometimes I go months without working out. But I think working out is great for physical mental health. Don't cook with vegetable oil. It's toxic. Use coconut oil. Use no fluoride toothpaste.
Starting point is 01:07:02 Mountain Valley water's great. Try not to drink out of plastic water bottles. There's microplastics in there. Beef liver is amazing for you. Lots of minerals, nutrients. Seamoss. Same thing. Has 94 of the 97 nutrients that you need in a day in just a spoonful. Also, oysters are pretty much the beef liver of the ocean. A lot of great minerals in there too.

Starting point is 01:08:05 She likes beef liver. I'm on like a kick like that. I think that this needs to be talked about more because people, you know, for so long, we were told vegan, vegan, vegan. And I think it's starting to come out more and more that like if you do eat meat, there's a lot of benefits. My hair has never been thicker. Yeah, mine too.
Starting point is 01:08:23 And my skin, yeah. It's like what you put in your body exudes out. Yes. And I think women talking about meat and beef liver and things that are like, supposed to be like masculine body. I think it's good. Yeah, it really makes you glow. It's insane.
