Hey, everyone, and welcome back to another episode of the comments section show starring me, your favorite. Everybody knows me. Nobody ever cares about me anymore, especially now because my guests are just going up and up and up. Today we have the one, the only, the icon, the legend herself. Miss Megan Traynor.
Starting point is 00:00:26 Woo-hoo! I care about you so much. Girl, you and me both. I've been with you. I love you. In the trenches. Didn't you write Austin and Ali's theme song? No, I didn't.
Starting point is 00:00:38 Did you do something for Disney? That was Julia Michaels, I think. No, no, wait. Who am I thinking of? That was Julia Michaels. That's really embarrassing. No, that's okay. That was my dream.
Starting point is 00:00:48 All about that base, though. All about that base. That was for sure you, Megan. Don't tell me it wasn't. I know for sure it was you. That was me. In the trenches. I've been here almost a decade.
Starting point is 00:00:57 You've been in the business for a long time. I know, and I'm just getting younger and younger. And hotter and more rich and successful. More children. There you go. I know Miss Ma'am is pregnant. She's pregnant. She is second baby on the way. But I wear these big hoodies and I'm like, what pregnancy?
Starting point is 00:01:14 You don't even look like it. I'm like I'm wearing a blanket. On purpose, because I am pregnant. That's what you said. How is it going? How's everything going with you? Right. I'm finally like getting energy back and feeling good and...
Starting point is 00:01:27 Yeah. You're more than halfway, right? Yeah, I'm there. I'm three periods away that I won't have. Three non-existent. That's how I count life. I'm like, oh my God, that's like four periods away. That's nothing. And you've been busy. I've been busy. Book to blessed. Been writing a book. Speaking of a book. I've been writing a book. Yes, let's see it.
Starting point is 00:01:47 My marriage are forced me to bring it out. The magic reveal. I love this. It's the only copy I have. Everyone's like, can I have it? I'm like, no, this is mine. This is all I have. I would give it to you. It's so cute. So cute. I fought so hard for this cover because they thought it looked like I was selling a toddler book. But I was like, listen, my baby is grown. So here we are. Your baby's glasses are so cute. He's so cute. Every time they're like, I love his glasses. Some people genuinely think it's just accessories. And I'm like, oh, he's blind, but thank you so much. I'm like, he has terrible vision. Girl, those are corrective lenses.
Starting point is 00:02:18 Yeah. And I would know I also have corrected lenses. When did you get him? Oh, girl, forever ago. My vision is so ass. It's not really funny. I feel like a lot of my girlfriends are like, if I don't have my contacts and I will not see you from here. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:31 My vision is horrible. It's really, really bad. When I went to the eye doctor once when I was like, I think I was like 18. They like, you know, they look at your past and then they test you again. And then she was like, yeah, so your vision actually got worse, which is rare for someone your age. And I was like, I don't need the read. Just give me the prescription. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:51 Just give me the insult. Yeah. Can you do the surgery or no? I really want to, but I'm scared. My brother just went in to see if he could and they denied him. Why? Because they were like, one is so bad. that it's, but the doctor
Starting point is 00:03:05 tried to say, like, me just getting information, I don't even care about the show anymore, like, you could be denied, dude. He was so sad, he came home. Because your vision is so poor, they're like, it's just like, you're lost of us. They were, like, trying to explain to him, like, our machinery isn't ready yet.
Starting point is 00:03:18 And he's like, we're not quite there. He's like, but you know, remember the iPhone 9, or the iPhone 4? Look at where we are now. He's like, come back in 20 years. He's like, come back in five years. I bet we could do it. So sad.
Starting point is 00:03:30 By then I'll be a robot. I don't need you guys anymore. He's like, okay. I feel like I just stared down the barrel of my own future. You're going to do it. See, no point in getting lazy. One of my friends told me it doesn't even last. She was like, why I have to go back and get it again?
Starting point is 00:03:43 No. I think that's what they told him. They're like, you just have to keep redoing it. He was like, oh my God. What were we even talking about your book? I don't know. I don't know. I'm just trying to be Paris Hilton and be a mogul and just do it all.
Starting point is 00:03:55 I love that, though. Kids make you do that. Make you do that. They inspire you to be the best version of you. A lot of people were like, once you have kids, your life ends. I was like, no, no, mine's just begun. Oh, I love that. I have more motivation to be the best version of me.
Starting point is 00:04:07 And in your book, what do you talk about? My virgin. My stretch marks. My TMI. Your anal fissures. My nipples. My nipples. My.
Starting point is 00:04:18 Oh, my gosh. Did you see that TikTok where that girl said, like she was breastfeeding and her nipple fell off? Girl. And someone added. That's not real. I swear to God. There's no way. It happens, but it's not common.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Like maybe like a chunk of crusted blood. blister. No, she said it fell off. She had to go get it stitched back on. Well, walking around like a mannequin. Tiddy's out, no nipples. I couldn't latch. I'm like, like a mannequin. Yeah, like, there's no aerola. I couldn't do it because I didn't make enough milk, but also my nips, I was told that they were too small. And I was like,
Starting point is 00:04:51 I was like, once you get like a suction thing on it. Girl, his mouth is this big. I was like, we could feed an adult. How big a nip does he need, really? And I guess they were too small. And so I'd put a nipple shield on, which is like a plastic, like a rubber fake nipple. To be like, here you go, son. Did it work? No. No, nothing worked.
Starting point is 00:05:10 It was so hard and frustrating, so. We love formula and we pumped. We did the best week then. That's all that matters. Yeah, he was fed and he's perfect and he never pukeed and he's a hero. I love that. I know. It was weird.
Starting point is 00:05:24 I was like, you broken, but he was just like perfect. I was like, no vomit on. The first one always comes out perfect. It's my trick baby. Yeah, that's what my mom said. He's an angel. I'm so scared about this next one. My mom had my sister pretty young,
Starting point is 00:05:36 and then she was like, when she came out, she just came out, like, smiling. Like, just the most perfect baby in the world. She said she slept really easy, never cried, loved everyone. Was always like, hi, hi, hi to everyone. And she's like, when I got pregnant with you, I was like, oh my God, easy. Easy.
Starting point is 00:05:51 Our first baby's an angel, this next one. We must be good at this. I came out angry, so. Angry. Bummer. You were like, this world. I came out, like, in a bad mood. I was like, real.
Starting point is 00:06:01 I was a really hard baby. And now look at me. A star. Turns out. A star. Were you an easy baby when you were born? No, I was the middle child and I was a monster. Me too.
Starting point is 00:06:14 I'm also a middle child. And I had two brothers. So I was like, you know. Like when we would try to go out to family dinners, I would sit with my mom at a different table. And my brothers would be with my dad. That's how bad I was. You divorced the family? Literally I divorced the family, but they're still together.
Starting point is 00:06:30 Why was that? me. I guess I was a tantrum gal. Oh. I just needed a tantan. What's your sign? Capricorn. But I'm on the day where Saj and Capricorn changed December 22nd. Got you. So I call myself both. Yeah, you're like a cussbooby. Yeah, I'm a cuspi. I started a Capricorn hate train on Twitter once.

Starting point is 00:07:13 Oh, fuck me. That's what this one is. This one is a cancer. I'm so upset. I'm like, cancer. That's what I'm going to walk around saying. Out of all the signs, I was like, I will never have a cancer.
Starting point is 00:07:22 A cancer. That's my cancer. I hate the name. My cancer baby. My brother's a cancer. Is he good? Yeah, he's so emotionally caused. I hear motions come first, yes.
Starting point is 00:07:34 Cancer men, though, are very manipulative, and my brother is very mrs. He's going to get whatever he wants. My brother manipulates my mom. When does this come out? Next week, probably. Next week? Hopefully.
Starting point is 00:07:44 That's my plan. Hopefully. Oh. Jesus, that's far. Probably soon. Okay, great. I wanted to come out next week. It's a boy.
Starting point is 00:07:53 I'm a fucking boy cancer in man. Oh, you do? Oh, I like male cancers. My brother's a male cancer. But you know what's funny? is this, you have two boys now, right? Yeah. Yeah, so now, like, my mom, see, like, my mom has two girls
Starting point is 00:08:06 and then my brother is the youngest. I hope the next one's a girl. So he's, like, Princess Die in my family. Like, my mom, like, she, like, taught us how to be funny and, like, take a joke. My brother, like, I make one joke, my mom's like, be nice to him. My mom's like that, too.
Starting point is 00:08:20 He's a baby. No, it's mothers with boys. It's a thing. I'm like, why are you on their side only? Only. Even if I'm shitting on a guy outside of our family. He's like, well, he's been doing a lot. I'm like, who the fuck are you what?
Starting point is 00:08:32 Sorry, do you not sweat? No one? You can swear. You're fine. Okay, yeah. I was like, what do you know what are? She defends everybody all the time. My mom only defends my brother.
Starting point is 00:08:40 He's like a princess angel baby. No, if my brother murdered someone, my mom would be like, it was me. Yeah, my mom would be like, and you know what? They probably deserved it. Yeah, yeah. If I'm being real. And then I'm like, you know what? Like, I'll be mean to my brother to be funny.
Starting point is 00:08:51 And then she's like, be nice to him. Yeah, what is that? He had a rough day. I'm like, he's 18. He's fine. They're fine. Yeah, my little brother, I told him, I booked my C-section for this baby. I was like, I was on the phone and I was like, what a beautiful moment.
Starting point is 00:09:03 My little brother was like, you're not even going to try? And I was like, ah. I want you put your back into it. I was like, I want to throw a shoe at your face. And then he was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. And my mom's like, he doesn't know what he's saying. I was like, teach him. This is a moment to learn.
Starting point is 00:09:19 Yeah, I was like, teach him. It's funny because when I was first blowing up on TikTok and like my brother's, my brother's in school like he's still in high school so he's like yeah i heard some girls in my class talking about tic-tok today i go oh really what would you say he's like well i told him my sister actually has a ticot account and they were like oh really what's her handle and he goes i don't know and i go it's my first and last name it's my government name now he was like and he goes well how was i supposed to know that i go i don't know you lived with me for like 15 years so maybe no my brother's just so like okay he goes oh boy it just takes them like
Starting point is 00:09:55 thrice as long to mature and be a brain. To live in such ignorance. Right? They don't have to like do things. The way I was worrying about taxes when I was like 15. And my brother doesn't even know how to drive yet. That's my biggest concern of what I'm doing to my brothers because I let them live in my house. And I hire that.
Starting point is 00:10:12 It's such a fear of mine. And I tried to sit down with them recently and was like, I feel as though I've cut your wings. And I'm not letting you learn and fly. And they're like, we're fine. And that show? Well. That show, succession. Oh, we love success.
Starting point is 00:10:26 That's you. We love that's you. You're the dad. I'm studying. I'm like, I walk around, fuck off. Yeah. You watch and you're like,
Starting point is 00:10:34 how do you cut off your kids? Yeah. I'm like, fly. They live here, but you host your podcast, right? Yeah. So that's me,
Starting point is 00:10:45 my brother, like, he doesn't, he's also so hard in himself that he's like, I'm trash, I'm just your brother living at your house. I'm like, no, dude, we had a podcast,
Starting point is 00:10:53 you're working. And he runs everything. Like the camera's lighting, footage, edit. Yeah, he does a lot of work. And my younger brother produced mother. So he's my producer. I make that kid work. But also they don't have a boss.
Starting point is 00:11:05 So they don't, like, if he shows up two hours later, I'm like, what are you doing? And he's like, I had to go work out and get a massage. And then I'll meet you there. And I'm like, what is your life? You'd be fired in a second, you know? So we're learning. Yeah, sure. We're learning those life moments.
Starting point is 00:11:24 I was like, you never had a real boss. Yeah, my boyfriend didn't have a job until he was like 21, but that's because he played sports all throughout college, so they didn't really have to. But I started working when I was like 17. Kind of older, I guess. Right? I was like 17.
Starting point is 00:11:40 I had a publishing deal like in high school. Yeah. Look at you. I left the cafeteria. What's the hardest job you've ever had? Oh, I didn't. This one. I was like writing songs for people.
Starting point is 00:11:53 Really? I worked with my, from my parents at the jewelry store and dealt with just like, oh yeah. Nightmare rich people buying jewelry on Nantucket. Is that like the only like normal person job you had? I think so. I like, because I, my other outside gigs where I was playing music at like a restaurant on a beach in Nantucket. And I'd clock in and I'd set up my whole thing.
Starting point is 00:12:13 Oh, that's cute. I love that. Yeah, I was doing that. I was like, I'm so rich. Like I was like, I have a real job and I'm rich. Literally me when I was a server and I was getting tips. Oh my God. Guys, I'm a millionaire.
Starting point is 00:12:24 I'm a millionaire. I had a restaurant job in college, but I literally was like, this is like drinking money. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like I'd pocket that and I'd be like, I'm getting lit this weekend. You were already doing accounting. Yeah, I would walk out of my restaurant. I would cross the street, go to the liquor store, buy liquor, get on the bus, go home. Because you're smart.
Starting point is 00:12:42 Look at me. Working girl, single mom with two jobs, but I had no kids. Literally, I sing that every day. That is literally you. I mean, you're not single, but you're a hardworking mom. Yeah, yeah. With two children. Two kids now.
Starting point is 00:12:55 I want four. Do you really? Yeah, I want twin girls next so I can get two for one deal. I tried to get twins on this one. I took pills that I saw on TikTok. They're on Amazon. To increase your odds? Yeah, they're like, be a twin mama.
Starting point is 00:13:07 I was like, fuck yeah. Didn't work. Didn't work. Did twins run in your family? No. My husband's a twin, but it doesn't work like that, you know? Your husband's a twin? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:17 What? I know. But it only has to be. Juni Cortez is a twin? I did not know that. I know. They're not identical. Oh, T. I know that typically, too, twins, a lot of times twins run on the dad's side.
Starting point is 00:13:31 Yeah, but I think it has to go through the moms or something. And we got none of that in our family. But I was like, I'll be the first. One of my friends from college, she's a twin, like an identical twin. Her and her, like, literally they could like Lindsay Lohan parent traps switch places and I. Love it. It would be hard for me to tell, but I would know. But she once took a picture because twins run in her family.
Starting point is 00:13:53 like every person who's had kids has had twins at some point. She took this family photo once as like a family reunion they had. Girl, when I say like every other one, they were like coupled up. They look like that and I was like, that's kind of scary. There's too many of you. That's my dream. Too many twins. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:08 They're like literally, and they all stand next to each other. So it just looks like the same head copy. How do I get in there? I have to like do some IVF if I want like twin girls, you know? Test two, baby. So, orchestrated. And my husband was like, you're playing God. like, why do I want a girl?
Starting point is 00:14:25 Yeah, they can't give your brother LASIC, but they can give me twins. They can give me twin girls. I can buy that. Girl, that has evolved. Yeah. That has. Your eyesight hasn't. They figured it out there.
Starting point is 00:14:36 What if they just really didn't like your brother? And they were like, oh. I felt so bad. Also, Raya denied him, too. So he's been just left and right. He's like, I got waitlisted. I was like, what was this college? Like, you didn't get in?

Starting point is 00:16:55 So we'll never rent a house again. Don't ever do it. Don't trust people. And I thought the house was much bigger because I got pictures beforehand and it was like, wow, it's not tight spaces. And it was so much money, this video that came from everywhere. And it was so much pressure. I've never had my friends in a video.
Starting point is 00:17:15 And so I felt like I was having a birthday party and I was like, well, I want them to have the best And Ramee comes up to me like an hour deep and glam and goes, is there any food here? And I go, what the fuck? Feed my friends. I was like, are they not being fed? Like, then I was like, at that moment, I was like, the today's ruined.

And my little tiny room was the only room that the air was working. So I would just like hustle people in there like, go, go, go, go.
Starting point is 00:20:44 It was a battle scene. It came out great though. It came out great. To this day, I still get comments that are like, oh my God, I saw you in Megan Trainers' music video. Really? And I was like, I posted a lot about it. I was so grateful that you left so that you didn't have to see me cry. Hey, what I did see, core memory.
Starting point is 00:21:01 That's all I said. Have you ever watched Megan Trainor yell at someone I have? Like, that was the last day that will ever happen to me because now I've got a situated and now I'm like, we will never be there again. There you go. I'm glad I was there to be a part of it. I text you after I said, thank you so much for having me. And watching you yell at someone, highlight in my night. Yeah, you were like, that was awesome.
Starting point is 00:21:20 I loved it. That's the only place I yell. And my mom's like, hey, she, she, she's, she's. Your mom was like, you're an angel. Can I get any warm water? Your mom's so nice. She's my assistant, but she's assistant to all. She just does it, yeah.

Starting point is 00:21:43 I was like, I'm sorry. I think it's because she had that shawl on. Yeah, the outfits weren't great. Outfits weren't it. I liked mine. But we came out hot. Yeah, I made sure I was like, y'all look good. That's fine.
Starting point is 00:21:54 When I went to wardrobe, you were like, Megan was literally like, if you hate it, tell them. You just got to tell them. Like, if you hate it, tell them. Like, my dancers will, like, put on shit that they despise and then cry. And I'm like, ready dancers? I went down there. I was like, five, six, seven, eight. Get whatever you want.
Starting point is 00:22:09 Run! And they were like, really? And the poor, like, wardrobe guy was like, okay. Mine was great. I liked mine. You looked so good. Mine was a sleigh. I thought like you came in that. No, yeah, they gave it to me. Wow.
Starting point is 00:22:22 And these heavy earrings. So thank you forever for being in a hot box all day for me. I'm so glad. I owe you. I would do it for nobody else except Megan for one. I promise. The next one will be so much easier. This episode is brought to you by Ultima Replenisher.

For those of you who don't know, right, what we do on the comment section is we bring a topic,
Starting point is 00:23:10 or videos that are applicable to our topic. and our topic for today is what it means to be a mother. And you would know all about that because you're a literal mother. And you're also a metaphorical mother. Per. According to your song, period. Yeah. So we're going to talk about today.
Starting point is 00:23:26 But before we get into that, what do you think it means to really be a mom? Oh, which one? Like the real mom? A real one and then we'll do a silly one. Hi, me. What a deep question. Oh, well, the best way I heard. heard someone explained being a parent is how your heart is now outside your body.
Starting point is 00:23:45 And you're watching it run around. You're like, oh my God. You know? It's literally that. And if your heart is crying, you're like, ah, you know. So yeah, that's a real thing. And having my heart be outside of me, I'm just like, I want to make you so proud and be the best thing I could ever be for you and take care of you, make sure your life is the best life ever. I love that. I don't know. Is Riley a mama's boy? No. I was just saying his new thing when we change him and, like, change his diaper. Before I can even wipe him, he jumps up and goes, hug Daddy.
Starting point is 00:24:20 And he's like, oh, peepee. Like, you have dirty piss on me. I love you, but he can't deny that. He just wants to hug Daryl at all times. You're like, oh, no, that's great. Yeah, I was like, what the fuck is this? I love that I grew in my body and you did that to me. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:34 He's in his full daddy phase and he loves hugging dead at. And when he hugs me, because I'll be like, can you help me out? And he's like, go hug mama. He comes up to me and turns his butt into me and goes, there you go. And I'm like, you straddle, dad, give me something. I go, show me your arms. I just beg for it. But he does give kisses and he loves when I cuddle and put him to bed.
Starting point is 00:24:56 Oh, I love that. Because I like paint his face. And he's like, I'm not, I'm not. And then you actually were a big part of inspiring mother, this song. Really? You don't get pub, but you do get that credit. I'll take it. When I was explaining the concept to people, because my straight brothers were like,
Starting point is 00:25:14 ugh, this sounds annoying. And I was like, exactly. I was like, it's supposed to make you upset. I was like, it's like all the people, you know how you and everyone is like, who gave these men a microphone? Yeah, literally. Why do they have a podcast? How do they have a voice? Why are they so loud?
Starting point is 00:25:31 Yeah. That was also my target with this song. Look at that. You guys heard here first. I and your mother, you listen to me. You shish, shit, stop all that. explaining nobody's listening. See, that was Megan Chinner giving me credit for her greatest body of work,
Starting point is 00:25:44 which is clearly her song. Thank you so much. You're welcome. You're part of it. I was like, you know what Drew does? That in a song. And you heard it here first. And I'm, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:54 And my mom, literally this is my mom. She was like, well, not all men are terrible. You're like, mom. She's like, your husband. I put it in the song. The second verse was, y'all need a master class for my man, you know, because he's the one. That's all right. The meanest.
Starting point is 00:26:10 The meanest bitches to men are women who are happily taken. Mm-hmm. Period. That's a quote. That's a tattoo. Someone described it to me once in there like, I love to see a bad bitch down bad for a man. Wow. Period.
Starting point is 00:26:22 Period. Because when I made a, I made like a story the other day or a TikTok about it, but I was talking about how I was, like, working all day and I was gone. And then when I got home, my boyfriend, like, cleaned the whole house and he, like, went grocery shopping. He did laundry and, like, made the bed and did all this shit that I've been eating. My man makes a bed. There you go. He did all the shit that I've been needing to. do like and he just did it and he was like oh and I got some of your favorite snacks and
Starting point is 00:26:44 crying it's because we're woke because we've seen that like there can be great men and then everyone who's not we're like that's what I've seen what you all are capable of love and this is not it we've seen what it can be and you're not doing it and that's their favorite thing to say they're like oh you're probably single wrong wrong wrong take it your boy your man's probably ugly wrong again wrong again I want to try for three I was like you fire off your jokes and And then I'll jump in. Yeah, yeah, you start. We'll have fun.
Starting point is 00:27:12 I'll give you a head start. I love what you did with the guy that did a video to Ariana's video. Oh, thank you. You went Ian on him and you're like, well, since you're ready for this and you agree with it, let's out. I personally, they say they love to look out for other people. He said in his video, so for context, Ariana posted a video that she shouldn't have had to post, but basically saying like... And I was like, oh, you don't even have to do. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:27:32 She shouldn't have to, but she did, right? Which is like telling people, please stop commenting on my body. I hate when people do that, and we should just not do that at all. and this guy was like, this is the problem with society. He's like, this is exactly why we need to. I'm like, yeah, no, there's transgenocide and kids dying in schools, but this, fat people, that's who I want to focus on. You're out of your mind.
Starting point is 00:27:55 So then I was like, well, if you want to comment on people's body, I love to comment on other people's body. You're so good at it. I was like, where's she going to go? Where's she going to start? Sometimes men would be like, well, if you like to body shame, then I guess I could call you a fat cow. I'm like, by all means, honestly, I encourage it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I encourage you to comment on my body, then do me favor, send me a pick.
Starting point is 00:28:12 And then I'll go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll give you a head start. It's only there. Send me pick. That's all, like, your opening act on main, main show. Main show. There you go.
Starting point is 00:28:19 God. That's always, so you want to be a clown. I'll buy the tent and the big shoes and the red nose. I'd watch a whole stand-up, like, comedy show of you just doing that. Just, like, lining up men and then roasting them. One by one. One by one. I just think, like, if you want to comment on other people's bodies, then let's.
Starting point is 00:28:35 Take it. Let's go. I'm cool with it. They're like, are you okay with that? Yeah. Go ahead. You are very strong, though. How do you do that?
Starting point is 00:28:41 Like deal with... I got, like, a hate video from Mother of, like, the song. Like, someone went out of their way to be like, this song is not creative, written for TikTok. She gave up. And I was like... Huh? And I fucking sobbed.
Starting point is 00:28:54 It might be the pregnancy hormones, but I... I'm sure. And Daryl was like, are you actually crying? What do you do? I can't tell if you're joking. Even if that were true. Let's just say that was true. How are you so strong.
Starting point is 00:29:04 Even if that's true, it worked. You may not. like the music. Like I didn't write it strictly for TikTok, but it was a part of it for sure. I was like, oh, the mom's on TikTok are gonna love this. And they did. And they did. And you're also a mom. What's wrong with that?
Starting point is 00:29:20 That's why I said, what is it, illegal to make music, fun music? Yeah, sorry. Who cares? I saw Chris Olson, he was like, why are people mad at me for this? Chris is like, why are they saying it's my fault? I was like, you had nothing to do with this. I saw a comment that he put in his
Starting point is 00:29:36 story. He was like, the comment literally said, I don't know why, but I blame Chris Olson for this. Now we joke about it. I'm like, this is all your fault. Yeah, TikTok has him to thank. Actually, me, she gave me credit, so. Yeah, it's all your fault. Shift the blame. Start blaming me, start attacking me, and then I have more content so it works out for me.
Starting point is 00:29:57 Honestly, to answer your question, though, I don't, I don't know how. I guess I just deal with it because, like, I don't know, if men are ugly and smaller than me. It doesn't really bother me. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. I just always think, like, because they're like, she just think she's better than us.
Starting point is 00:30:12 And I'm like, well, look at you. I am better than you. Yeah. It's okay. Sorry, we can say it. In Australia from Andrew Santino, this comedy. And I forgot comedians get it the worst. Yeah, true.
Starting point is 00:30:21 They get like death threats. Like, truly. He was like, oh my God, same. Huh. He was like, he was like, they're just ghosts. Yeah. And I was like, ah, that's amazing. Yeah, that's what Bremen Rock said on my show.
Starting point is 00:30:33 Yeah, they're ghosts. Like, you don't see them unless you go looking for them. It is true. And sometimes it's hard not to. Like as a public person, you've been in the industry a long time. Sometimes you have no choice but to watch people be awful towards you. Yeah. Well, I was in my safe place. I was on my for you page. It doesn't have a lot of me. It came on my and I was like, not my safe place. They're invading your safe space.
Starting point is 00:30:55 Because my team will be like, hey, go through your comments and like engage. People love that. And I'm like, why would I dive through that? And all my stuff is so nice and kind. And so I love it. I comment back. But this is the one time I wasn't looking. And I got attacked and I was like, that. Well, that's why you got. I was like, I'm in bed.
Starting point is 00:31:14 It's 11 p.m. Don't do this. I didn't ask for this. Yeah, I was like, no, my safe place. I always think like if you make, sometimes I've gotten hate videos before, like awful ones. Really?
Starting point is 00:31:25 That did well, and they tagged me. And then I, I, clearly I saw it. No, what hurts is all the likes. I see, well, and I saw it. I saw one, and it had kind of a lot of likes. So I stitched it. And then I made fun of him. And then he went, my favorite part of when I stitch people is like the spiral.
Starting point is 00:31:41 Like it starts real slow. I don't care. I don't care if that fat bitch she stitched me. I don't give a fuck. Then two videos later, it's like I just feel like we live in a world where we should be body positive. Then like two videos later, why would she do this to me? She's such a bully.
Starting point is 00:31:55 They get hurt. This guy literally said, I don't know why she would do this to me. She's a big creator and I'm not. You tagged me. You die. And I even said like you, at the end of my video, I said, you asked for this. Yeah. Have fun.
Starting point is 00:32:07 And I was like fighting through my tears and I started commenting, actually I wrote this and my husband's like, wow. He's like, no, he just doesn't deserve ready of this. My man does not for me sometimes. Oh, you're right, you're right. Yeah, because sometimes some stuff is just no, like there's no point. It's like you're talking to a ghost. I was like, oh, yeah, dude.
Starting point is 00:32:26 And they sometimes they just want attention. Like they, I've gone, hey, yeah, yeah. I've gone really ranted hate comments where someone wrote to me. Honestly, I never thought you were going to see this. girl what you're on my video you're in my house yeah they break into my home and they wonder why i saw them on the couch girl you're in my home yeah but that's why men too like i once got a really horrible fat shaming comment on one of my videos and i went on his profile like i always do and i looked and he said he was a girl dad a proud girl dad and then i wrote i'm so glad to hear that you're a girl dad
Starting point is 00:33:01 hopefully no one ever comments on your daughter's body like how you commented on mine yeah and then he was like, what the fuck is your bro? Like, he got mad at me. I've, like, never once typed in a hateful thing. Me either. I can't wait till someone sees that. No concept in my brain. My whole life, when I'm, like, a middle school or high school.
Starting point is 00:33:22 Never was like, oh, I'm going to bully this bitch wash. I want them to see my really mean. And then you block them. Sometimes you'll block them, like, if it's, like, someone who's like, I used to be a fan and they write mean shit. And then they're like, why did you block me? I was just trying to, girl. And they think.
Starting point is 00:33:40 I'm trying to help you. They think because you're a public person, they think that it's your job to like be subject to criticism at all times and never get upset about it. Like you're not entitled to a reaction, but you have to sit there and take the lashing. And the new like, the craziest thing with social media though is like there's a new wall that came down between like celebrities and fans. Where they're like, no, you're in my family and we're best friends and we should get dinner. and I was like, oh, I can't get dinner. You're like, and then they're insulted and mad.
Starting point is 00:34:14 Like, I had one fan who was like so sweet and I would see him everywhere and it was awesome. But then he started DMing my managers and goes, so I'll be in the city. So I expect two tickets. And we're like, oh, you know. That's someone overstaying their welcome a little bit. You're right, though, about the wall. Like, I think social media has bridged that gap a little bit where they've made, that's why like, for me, I'm just a gesture on the internet.
Starting point is 00:34:37 So you would be shocked at some of the things people say to me, bitch, like in real life. Like I've told them many times. I can't even, this is one of the most common comments I get from women when they meet me in real life. And they're like, oh my God, I'm such a big fan. They always tell me, you're so much prettier in real life. Stop. Oh, I get.
Starting point is 00:34:54 That's the first thing they say to me. I get, you're not actually that big. I got it in Australia. I got it recently. They're like, wow, I thought you were all. You're actually, like, small. And I was like, what? Everyone in Hollywood is small.
Starting point is 00:35:07 You're a petite little angels. Listen, when I say I'm a big bitch, I mean that shit. Like, in real life, I'm telling you. You're tall, dude. Yeah, everyone. I forgot. When I saw you today again, I was like, oh, shit. Every time when they meet me, they're like, you're so much bigger in real life.
Starting point is 00:35:21 And I'm like, okay, well, that's a choice word that you used. Got it. Why bigger? Yeah, they're like, you're big. Okay. Okay. I don't know you. So it's cool.
Starting point is 00:35:32 We don't have to use words at all to describe each other. I didn't say anything to you. Yes. We don't have to describe it. Sometimes I just have to sit there and take it. You're so cute. Look at you. They're like, you're not that big too. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:35:42 Oh my God. It's like all about that base comments from 10 years ago. Yeah. You're not even that big. Good for you. Even then you weren't big. I'm like, oh, thank you. Thank you so much.
Starting point is 00:35:52 Well, you have to be like complimented. They're like a shit sandwich. Yeah, yeah. It's a compliment sandwich between. I'm like, thank you for meeting me. Thanks again. Okay, so let me get to this video. I'm going to talk about one of these videos.
Starting point is 00:36:06 No, you're totally fine. This coffee is like, are you having a panic attack as I am? This coffee's strong, Mitch. Okay. Okay, this one. Okay, so these videos applied to our topic of like, what it means to be a mother, a true mother.
Starting point is 00:36:21 A silly mother and an actual mother, right? So this one says, this man is responding to a TikTok comment that says, being a stay-at-home mom is a job also. Like, someone wrote that to him. And he's upset at this comment and says that being a stay-at-home mom, mom isn't a job, it's a privilege.
Starting point is 00:36:37 And he talks about how easy it is and that once your kids get to middle and high school, they take care of themselves and he said he was a stay-at-home dad for a few months. And it was the easiest shit I've ever done. Yeah, a few months, 18 years. What's the difference? No difference at all. His kids were 18 years old. He just said he did it for a few months when they were in high school, which means they're like self-sufficient.
Starting point is 00:36:59 Like they won't die if you leave them alone. Dude. Spent a half hour with a toddler. It's escaping death. That all corners of the room. It is, whoa, running. It's like a human with no fear and no understanding of danger. And, like, they can't do anything for themselves.
Starting point is 00:37:14 You have to feed him. And I don't have dogs. I don't have kids. But I do have a dog. I don't have dogs? Yeah, I do have a dog. And when I tell you, he had, he's had diarrhea the past, like, day because he had too much fun on Easter. So then I woke up, like, I woke up and he was fine.
Starting point is 00:37:30 And then I went on meetings in my, I came as with my boyfriend told me, he just, diarrhea all in his crate, like all over a bed, all over that. Just like Jackson Pollock painting all over his crate. And then he was like, my boyfriend was like violently gagging, throwing it all in the trash. His eyes were like watering and he's like, it's bad. It was so bad. And that's what I was like, I can't even imagine a human. A human, yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:54 I can barely handle that dog. Like he walks around and puts every little thing in his mouth. I can't even imagine a human. Luckily, my kid doesn't, he's an angel. He doesn't put shit in his mouth. But like when they do, it could be life or death. Literally. Like actually.
Starting point is 00:38:08 Like actually. That's why I said. A dog is a lot. I didn't know like watch batteries are like it's an instant. Like those little distance. Yeah. It like burns their belly and you watch them die for the rest of the day. It's horrific.
Starting point is 00:38:20 I learned all that on TikTok. You know someone who looks stuff like that up. No, it's just on my TikTok. They're like awareness for batteries. I was like batteries. And another one is those balls that children play with. Like they eat those little gel balls, the water balls. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:34 because they look delicious. And then it like fucks their brain up for it. And then they start like deteriorating in your face over the few years. There's so many little things that I know. Having kids is horrific. I know. We're just escaping death at all times. But the,
Starting point is 00:38:48 what I wanted to say is like since I've been dating Daryl, I've been like the breadwinner because I'm just like bobbing right now. Period. Like he's still, I think he auditions and stuff, but I think they still see him as young spy kids. Yeah. So just now,
Starting point is 00:39:03 I've let him grow out his beard And now already everyone's like Oh damn you're all man you know So we're gonna do auditions with that He does look young Because he's like still like loves acting And wants me an actor and everyone's like When did you stop? He's like didn't
Starting point is 00:39:17 So actually I didn't But he works so much Even before my kids For me like with me Like constantly at every shoot With me takes care of me Since the first like week of dating I was on my first tour
Starting point is 00:39:33 And I walked off stage and he carried me to the hotel and took care of me. And when I see him with the, he's basically our stay-at-home dad. Yeah. Because I would be working all day. And when I come home, this my fuck is way more tired than I ever am. He looks like sunken deep, dark circles. And he's like, today was tough. You know?
Starting point is 00:39:55 He's like, he really had it out for me today. Yeah, I was like, I was on Kelly Clarkson, you know. You're like, stay awake. I want to tell you about my day. I had a great day. And he knocks out at like eight. But it's, oh, yeah. I can't stand this human being.
Starting point is 00:40:10 Well, and also, like, my parents, too, my mom's always been the breadwinner, like, more than my dad. My dad's dream has always been to be a stay-at-home dad. My dad was, like, make all the money. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I want to be at home. But because, like, psychologically, in the beginning, it was, like, messing with Daryl. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:28 For sure. Like, I never had a problem with it and was, like, let me. buy this and let me do this. But he was like, because society in the way we, like. Yeah, conditions you. Yeah. He's like, no, I want you to be taking time off and I'll go hustle and I'm like, babe, I'm crushing.
Starting point is 00:40:45 Like, let me just get this. Let me get this bread. I'm stacking it for us. And I'm like, in one day you're going to have a movie in Alaska and we will all be there watching Daddy work. Like, we'll figure it out. That's true partnership.
Starting point is 00:41:00 Yeah. And that's what makes us like A good. So good and such a good. Oh, yeah. And everything is like 100% 100%. Like we do everything together. Well, that's why it's like it's not a, it's not reciprocal. It's not like.
Starting point is 00:41:14 It doesn't feel like I'm the only one working. Exactly. It feels like we're both hustling our asses off. Because you are. Yeah. And at night we get into bed, we run to bed at 7.30. And then it's our time and we watch Love is Blind. I know.
Starting point is 00:41:30 My sister, you're updating me about this season. crazy it is. I didn't watch season three. I only watched the first one. You're same. But it's all over my TikTok and I was like I gotta get involved. And the first episode I was like, these people are fine. Why is I been saying they're crazy? Episode two. I was like, oh my God, yeah. That was me with the voice.
Starting point is 00:41:48 Listen, I was like fighting it a little bit. And then I saw I saw it on TikTok and I go, listen, I got to watch it now. I should be a judge on the voice. I watch this is my pitch to you. Put me and Megan on there. Hey voice. Give us the dumb. Give us the double chair. We're being coach. I'm ready. Is it in the voice UK or like, I did the voice UK? Wait,

I'm so useless, but I'll be funny. No, yeah, she'll give the real, the real commentary. I'll just be funny. And I was like, you are so cute. She'll give you like actual help and I'll just like be funny. Yeah. Like it's like a motorcycle. We're a duo. Yeah. Pick us.
Starting point is 00:42:30 Choose us. Love us. Imagine the two of us on the, like what a mess. We'd win. Nobody would ever pick us. Because I would be there and they'd be like, that bitch is an anchor. I'm not picking her. No, we'd be like, we can be your best friends. Yeah, I'd be like a parent. We could go to dinner with you.
Starting point is 00:42:43 You're like, yeah, I expect two tickets to the voice. I'm in town, so make sure the two tickets are waiting for me. Yes. Okay, well, listen, balls in your court voice. I know Blake's leaving. I know that chair's opening up. Blake's out, dude. He's done.

I don't have a number, but I will find it. But I'll get it. Okay, when we get into these comments, right, on this video. So this first one says, I've done the stay-at-home, or wait, I've done the stay-at-home mom, dad thing for a little while.

Starting point is 00:43:34 You take one picture and a geriatric bitch like that is like, what do you obsess with the internet? And she's just like, oh, what a cute. Like she just took one picture and he's like, she's all about social media. What fuck are you talking about? I don't get these comments. I don't get that either.
Starting point is 00:43:48 Okay, this one says, I love the one saying staying home is harder. Y'all must have a desk job getting to the trade work. They love to say that. Try a trade. Yeah, we move brick. No one wants to do. backbreaking work like literally nobody should have to do breaking work to make a living
Starting point is 00:44:05 robots some of you do end up that way that's not your phone necessarily but to compare it as if it's the same I always think it's like apples and oranges especially the mamas who are like I've seen all the mamas on TikTok that have a toddler at home and a newborn oh girl and they're just crying and they're like so wow this one scream cries to bed because we're sleep training I'm gonna go do laundry now and hold this baby on my chest while I do all the laundry and then hopefully I'll get to do dishes as soon as this is done. I'm like fuck all this. Well then you think about like kids who just like piss and shit themselves or throw up.
Starting point is 00:44:40 Oh there was one of the toddlers that just would not stop screaming. Oh girl. Like there's definitely like like this poor kid just scream, scream, scream. And I would show Daryl and I was like, our kid doesn't cry like this, right? Like that's something else. Yeah. It's all day. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:44:56 It depends on what kind of kid you have too, you know? Well, and every baby's different. Every baby's different. They're so different. This one will be my screamer. Riley, like, never even cried as a kid. Like, to the point where I was like, he's going to be a serial killer. Why isn't he crying?
Starting point is 00:45:09 I'm a little worried. Yeah, you know, in the movies, they're like, he never cried as a baby. I was like, that's Riley, dude. This kid doesn't cry. Yeah, my little brother when he was born, my mom thought he had colic because, like, he would cry. But neither of us were like that. And then she found out he's lactose intolerant. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:45:25 That's a thing, too. His belly was like. My book. My book. Has all that shit. Really? Where it's like no one told me that's a possibility. You learn the hard way after you've like,
Starting point is 00:45:34 boys in them. Because the baby's screaming and crying and can't tell you what's wrong. It's so sad. It's in so much pain. I love seeing men be like, try trade work. And then you ask them, what do you do for a living? Well, I'm not. I'm between jobs currently.
Starting point is 00:45:49 And then you're like, okay, well, so you don't even know what a trade is. The fuck you have them on here, dog. Face to face. Sometimes I literally. Start a new Mari show. Literally. With Joe! One time I responded to this guy, I was talking, the same thing.
Starting point is 00:46:04 Like, moving out, like, their lives are so hard. Men are building roads and houses. Whatever. Like, they just, like, there's no nuance whatsoever. I was like, you think there's not one woman in construction in 20, 24? You don't even exist? That's why I was like, not one, huh? Out of the billions of people on this earth.
Starting point is 00:46:23 But I even said, I'm like, are you one of those men? Like, have you built a house? Have you built a street? Did you build the Wi-Fi on my phone? own no right so you're a useless bitch just like me also like that we're both stay-at-home moms at that point you know what I mean like I've just seen more power women too like working I met four women yesterday that I've made this new formula that I'm obsessed with called Bobby and it's like healthy it has no corn syrup and poison in it and I was like you women are badass like hustling to make the world a better place
Starting point is 00:46:55 girl I had my friend Dilara on the show and she was saying like statistically speaking like they've proven that women are like far more competent like leaders and CEOs. CEOs. They were all boss queens. Yeah, like literally. I want to kiss you all in the mouth. I want to be you. Thank you for making the world a better place.
Starting point is 00:47:12 I always think like men like men who talk like that like they don't like women. They just are attracted to women. It's very big difference. Like you just, they don't see women as human beings with like emotions and ambition. They see them as things to have. Like an incubator. Mm-hmm. A literal, a literal.
Starting point is 00:47:28 A literal incubator, actually, though. Okay, let's see this last. That's why I do bitch to dare a lot. I go, this should be you. When I'm really pregnant, I'm like, you should have this. Like, I don't want it, Simon. I place this curse upon you.
Starting point is 00:47:45 I was like, you'd be so good at it. You see those videos, too, of men, like, trying those period cramp simulators. Oh, my God, and they're sobbing. Yeah. They're moaning out loud. I'm like, oh, that's a period. Yeah, go to work.
Starting point is 00:47:56 Yeah. Why don't you put your, go do a trade with that. I mean, like, also I've learned a whole new, like motherhood, like a whole new side of just heroes that are people who get pregnant. Yeah. Miscarriages, dude. I'm watching friends have miscarriage after miscarriage and go to work. Horrible. And it's, like, the worst period of your lifetime six. Yeah. Plus an emotional toll of like, oh, I lost that baby I was dreaming of. Yeah. And I was like, and we're supposed to walk around and, like, be okay? And they're going to work. Happy Easter. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:27 And they're going to work. Going to work. Yeah, literally. R ruining pants. Like, I literally saw a guy tweet. He's like, I just found out that people who get periods also sometimes get diarrhea. And that's how I know you guys are the superior gender. Like people who identify is women.
Starting point is 00:48:45 Oh, the period poops? Yeah, like period. That's what I call them like period shit. Yeah, period chits. The best poops of all? They're like when you're hungover. Yes. It's like Jack Daniels all night.
Starting point is 00:48:55 Yeah. Tequila shits. Yeah. I love those. Hard liquor shits. Yeah. You have those and then you like put makeup on a go like. And you're out of job.
Starting point is 00:49:03 And then you sit in traffic. Go to your desk job. Go to your desk job. Yeah. Not to trade though because women don't do that apparently. They don't lift brick. Okay. This last one says I'm all behind this.
Starting point is 00:49:17 I had two days off a week with my kids and we always had a blast together. It's way easier than working in management. Fifty hours a week. How old are your children? I'm sure you had a blast. with your 12 year old getting ice cream and going to the park for one day. You mean doing all the fun things? Yeah, the fun parts.
Starting point is 00:49:33 Getting to experience fun stuff. No, no. That's why, like, sometimes even my dad, my dad jokes about this with us all the time, but, like, my mom, like, knows everything. And I, like, trust my mom to, like, help me with things. My dad's just kind of hanging there. Like, I'll give my dad, I call them Dad Tass. So I'm like, if I need help with the car.
Starting point is 00:49:53 If I need a hang a picture for him. Oh, my dad hangs my pictures. My dad came and hung a mirror in my house. house that I needed to hang forever. Yeah. Installing security cameras. I've never had a handyman because my father, 75, comes over, hunchback, does it. Loves it.
Starting point is 00:50:05 But if I need, like, information on my life insurance, I'm calling my mom. Yeah. If I need to remember the doctor's number, I call my mom. Hells up with kids. I took my kid to the dentist and I was like, mom, is their insurance for him? Is he good? What am I doing? She was like, I'll text it to you.
Starting point is 00:50:20 I was like, oh, God. I'm a mom. See, like, life, life altering things. I'm like calling my mom. I've even made this joke before where I'm like, I call in order, like, people if I need help with something. So my mom's always first. Yeah. And then my sister, because she's like another mom to me.
Starting point is 00:50:34 Oh, they the big bubbles on your phone? Yeah. Yeah. And then my dad, then my boyfriend. My dad's not up there. Then my boyfriend. Then my dad. Then my brother.
Starting point is 00:50:42 Yeah. Like that sounds like, if I call my dad, I've gone through the list already. Everybody else didn't answer. So I had to call my dad. Yeah. And sometimes I ask him question. My dad's just in 50. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:50:53 He's just in 50. Oh, I had an old dad. Yeah. I was like, I forgot. Mine's older. I have an old dad. My mom is like 55. My dad's 75.
Starting point is 00:51:02 Oh, damn. Yeah, there was a scandal. My dad, sometimes I'll call my dad and ask him help for help with something. And he goes, well, did you call your mom? I'm like, yeah, she didn't answer. That's why I called you. He's like, well, I'm going to ask your mom. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:51:14 Okay. You know what I mean? Yeah. That we had this talk, dad. Talk to you later. And he doesn't care. He's like. You think they don't care.
Starting point is 00:51:24 But recently my dad was like, how to talk with my mom. And I hope he never sees this. And I guess he was like, well, they don't like need me. And my mom was like, what do you mean? She's like, well, if, if, like, they call you, right? And I was like, oh, dad. My dad knows I need him just for very specific things.
Starting point is 00:51:44 Yeah, I need you to be proud of me. And I needed you to like come over and hang out with your grandson. Yeah. And because he loves you. His name is Gary Traynor and we call him G. And my little boy is like, hi G. Oh, that's cute. We love you.
