Everyone and welcome back to another episode of the comment section show. Sorry, me, your favorite. Everybody knows me who cares about me. On to the guest. Today we have the iconic, the hilarious, the unbelievably gorgeous, vanilla mace. Woo! Oh my God. Hello.

Thank you. Thank you for having me. I'm so excited to have you. I'm so excited to be here. We were kind of king beforehand, but I was telling you, I am familiar with your content. But only recently when you went super viral for the blind boxes, did I realize you were following me? That's when I followed you back. But I used to watch your videos when you were pretending to be a DJ.

Oh, my God. I was like, I love this. That'll do it. Yeah, oh my God, that is so funny. That was like, I feel like one of the kind of like little like stick series things that I did that kind of people were like still to this day like people will be like, I love your DJ videos. I'm like, girl, it's been like three years. I did one of those, but thank you. That's the first time I remember seeing you.

Oh my God. That's so funny. Thank you so much. Which I love. And I saw recently that you got booked because of your DJ videos. I did. I did actually. You said lying on the resume got me in there.

Yeah, no, actually. I'm still scared. I really have not been practicing if I'm being honest. So we're going to kind of just wing it and see how it goes. If they're watching this, and people who book me, just, no,

it's going great. It's really going great. But, yeah, so I am excited about that, but I mean, nervous, but it's going to be great.

I think so. It's all about vibes. Yeah, also, when it comes to DJing, I've told everyone already that I have picked up DJing as a hobby, or I'm trying to anyway. I figure if white dudes especially can do it,

I can do it. Absolutely. I can master anything they touch. And I can't sing for shit. And I'll do it better. Yeah, exactly. And I can't sing at all. So I'm like, they're going to let me in that music industry one way or another.

Figure that's my way in. Yeah. And you just kind of, I feel like, again, like you said, the vibe. Like, it's just, as long as you look good up there. Right. It really doesn't matter. Like, are they going to know? Like, if my whole set's pre-recorded, like, who's really going to know?

You know what I mean? I look good. So that's what they're going to remember. Yes, exactly. Exactly. And I remember when I was saying that, I was like, I'm being serious. And I got like all the shit for it. Like I got the table.

Like my man got me a table and like programming and all this stuff. I really have fun doing it. It is very hard. But I'm having a good time. And I remember my friend was asking me. She's like, who are you DJing for? Like who's the audience? And I was like the horse.

Like literally like I need people to bust it open wide on this like now. Right. I want you to have the feeling that I had in the club. Yeah. When I was in the club back and the clubs are gone. They are dead. Nobody wants to dance. Nobody wants to dance.

Nobody wants to get down. Like it's just. It's really honestly, it's horrible. It's so tragic. And that's, no, seriously, though, that's the thing. I'm just like, if I am like in the club, like, I want to shake a little ass. Like, is that too much to ask for nowadays? I want to dance and not be, like, threatened.

Yeah, yeah, actually. So I'm just like, yeah. And that's why, you know, again, the event that I'm going to be doing, it's like around pride. So I'm just like, okay, great. So it's just going to be like all the girls gays days. Like, and we're all just going to have a good time. Oh, that's who I'm trying to DJ for for real. Exactly.

Like, and they're going to love it regardless. Right. because I went to Coachella this year. Did you go to Coachella? No. It was fun. It was a good time. That's my personal nightmare.

It's Coachella. I'm like honestly. Honestly. You know what's funny? Mine too. Really? But you know what? So brave.

That's obviously very brave for you. And I remember I was going. I was like, I'm prioritizing hor sets this year because all my friends are gay, which I love. But they are annoying. And so like they want to go hold hands in the grass and watch the marias. I would love to do that. I'll do that too.

But I was like, but also I am going to make a stop at Glower. I don't want anyone to get mad at me. Yeah. But I went and saw DJ Mustard, and that was the best set I've ever watched in my life. And I'm being so serious. No, I bet it was, honestly. He was the best.

He is my Mozart. Yeah. Honestly. The Mozart of our generation. He's my Mozart. For real. Like, no, so good. I, oh my God, I can't even.

He has so many, like, bangers. So many. I couldn't even, like, I couldn't even fathom what that set was like. He opened with Rack City and brought out Tyga, which, but the song. but the song banging. Right, right. And it was funny because he was on at the same time as Lady Gaga. Oh.

And I love Lady Gaga. But see, I would buy tickets to go see Lady Gaga. I wouldn't buy tickets to go see mustard. So I was weighing my bets. I was like, okay, maybe I'll split the difference. Right, right. And then I heard those like first three bars of Rack City. I was like, I ain't making it to Lady Gaga.

Just like, yeah, you're like, I'm sorry. Gaga. Forgive me, Gaga. Like, forgive me. Yeah. And then right after that he played like, I'm different by two chains. Okay. And paranoid by Tai Dalla sign.

I was like, I'm sad. I'm parked. Yeah. I mean, like, these are like, these are bangers. Sorry. Yeah.

Sorry. Gaga. But now I can't wait for that to be you. You being DJ Mustard. Oh, yeah. And then I'm going to go enjoy your set. Yeah. I'm looking forward to it.

I know. Honestly, I'm just like, that's what I just want to get up there and just like do stuff that like no one's ever done. Like, and I don't know. Like, Papa Titty. Like I don't know. Like it's just something. Like it just needs to be different.

It needs to be like, it's like the white guys. it's like okay we get it like the fist bump it's like it's so tired like I need to do something different something out of the box yeah yeah but I want to I want to back up a little bit talk about your lore how you got into I know you stream you do YouTube and now you're doing obviously TikTok too but I'd love to know how you got into content creation how'd you get started okay so basically um I posted a TikTok one day and uh it I literally posted it and closed my phone went to bed and I woke up and I had like a million likes I'm like what the like I just it was like 2018 I'm like, I don't even know how this app works, so I'm being honest.

Do you remember what it was? And it was, okay, it's this video of me. And I have this light up pinata that I got from this arcade. And it's just plastic and it has like a little stick that it comes with. And every time you hit it hit it with a stick, it like changes a different color. And in the video, I'm just like, I'm going to act out a scene if I were on a date. And this is what I would do. And so I like have a fucking pinata.

And I'm just like, let me set some mood lighting. and I just like beat the shit out of a pinata and it turns like a million different colors and it just went like stupid viral whatever and I was like oh cool like that's cool and then I just like never again because I was like this was back when like nobody took TikTok series

they all thought it was like like musically like a joke kind of a thing so I just was like okay that's cool and then never really did anything with it and then I started streaming on Twitch in like 2021 and it was more just like for me like for fun and it would be like literally me

and like four of my friends in the chat. And I'd be like, hey guys. And I'd be like, twice four night today. Yeah, literally. Two dumb bitches saying exactly. Like literally like my two brain cells in the thing. Like it was just like, yeah. And so it was more like for fun and for me, something I would do like on my free time.

And because I used to dance too. I used to dance at the ship club. And that was, yeah. Like my God. So glad I'm out of mouth girl. Oh yeah. I'm happy for you. Yeah.

Thank you. But so that was the thing too. It was like it became something where I was like, okay. I mean, I got to work. Mama's got to make some money. So I couldn't really stream as often as I wanted to. So I kind of like, you know, put that to the side for a little bit. Yeah.

And then started posting more on TikTok doing the DJ stuff and like just kind of random stuff and like gaining a little bit more of a following. And then found out that you could go live on TikTok almost like a Twitch kind of a thing where you could stream your like desktop and like play games on there too. So I was like, oh, let me try this out. And that went really well. And people were like, come, come over to Twitch. I was like, girl, I was. where were y'all at? I was like, I was there.

It was me and my three friends. I was like, where were you guys? So I eventually went back over there and then now it's kind of like what it is now. Period. And then very recently, you went super viral for the blindboxers. Yes. And how I know, I also know you have an extensive collection. I know you love to collect.

Love a trinket. You love a little chotchky. Yeah, I love it. It's so funny because I saw your videos where you're showing your shelf with all your collectibles. And it's funny because. my sister's house looks exactly like yours. Really? All the same thing.

She collects them, puts them in where dishes should be. They're all inside there. Yeah, she has an all glass cabinet in her kitchen. And she's like, well, that's where all my sunny angels are going to go. And I go where you're supposed to put crystal. She's like, yeah, yeah, right here. I have the little shelves and everything. It's perfect.

Yeah. I feel her. I feel her on that. Like, no, literally. I'm like, everything needs to be like in its little place untouched. Like, and I love it. It's just, I just love looking at it. It's just one of those things.

I'm like, I love tiny things, anything cute and tiny. I'm like, an ugly little collectible. Yeah, just sign me up. Literally, I'm like, oh, my God, just give it to me. I need it. Yeah. When I see little ugly things, I'm like, my sister would love that. You're like, oh, she would die.

Yeah, and I'll buy it for her. Yeah. And she'll be like, she's like, that's the best thing in the receipt. You know, it's really me. I'm like, I don't know what it is. I don't know what it is about it, but I'm just like, I need that in my pocket now. Like, I need to take that home. Yeah.

One time my, my fiance, he was buying coffee for us. And then he saw. these little stickers and there was one that was like cherries but they had these ugly little faces on them they were like hand drawn stickers it looked really cool and he got it and he was like oh here's coffee for everyone and then he gave it to my sister and she goes what's this and he goes i saw i just thought you'd like it because don't you like stuff like this and she was like yeah whatever whatever like i don't want men getting you're like okay like all right like he's he's in too deep now like yeah that's so funny fuck ever it was like last year she's done him for years

Oh my God. And then like, yeah, like a blind box. Like if there is just like, there's options, it's just, it's girl gambling. That's really all it is. It's just, it's girl gambling. It's like, it's like, it's just, it's a mystery. It's exciting. The adrenaline. Every time. I'm like, yeah, this like, this, this fits. I like. I think it's cute too that you were like, it doesn't matter how old you are. You can still buy things that bring you joy. Yeah. Okay. Like, why do we have to act like, yeah, like, we can't just like stuff anymore? Like I have to, okay, like, let me get my briefcase and here I go. Like, like, like, please. Like, like, can I just. Like, like, can I just. Like, like, like, like, can I just. Like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like a little sunny angels. For real. You crack your weave case. It's all sunny angels. Yeah, no, literally. I'm like, well. All skull pandas in time.

Let me go through my files. Yeah. Do you have any goals, any goals that you want to do? Like, anything's you want to pursue now that you're kind of leaning in full time to social. Like as like a podcast, you want to act? I mean, I think it would be cool to have like some sort of little like cameo on like a little show or something. That'd be cool to have a little like side. you know, role where they're like, wait, I've seen her.

Like something cute like that. I think you would be so great. I would live. I think that would be cool. I've like dabbled in that, the idea of like doing some sort of like acting kind of a thing. I think you would thrive. And you have an uncloccalcable face. And I'm being so dead. Really?

Really? Oh my God. Thank you so much. And that's half the battle. Oh. Yeah. Honestly, I know. Seriously.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But my God. Thank you so much. Yeah. I'm one of those people. I'm like, I hate my side profile.

So I'm always just. like so bad like literally so bad it's like this like meme in my community like whatever they'll like screenshot they're like oh here we go like here's this i proof like and they'll like send it i'm like enough enough like they know how much i hate it and they're like oof this is not a good angle i will say when i started like doing this for a living i had never looked at myself more ever in my life i like and also like i'm sure you can tell about me i've had it i've had an unbridled confidence for a long ass time like it's i joke that i was well i was like balled deep in body neutrality until I started doing this.

Like I remember when I first started doing my man, I started gaining weight. Obviously, he's happy weight, whatever. Yeah. Yeah. And I had a belly button piercing at the time. And my belly button rings like weren't fitting anymore. And I was like, that's so weird. What's happening?

Yeah. And then I literally told my man, I was like, they just make them in different sizes, you know? Like some are small, some are short. Well, that's not true. Really? That's not true at all. They're all the same size. Oh, that just was to me.

I just had a bigger belly. So they just weren't bitten. You're like, oh, okay. I thought that there was like the extra small, extra large versions. Like, I didn't even consider the fact. Yeah,

consider the fact that maybe a few pounds could have been added out. Like, no, there, no, this one's like, it's shrunk in the wash or something. I don't know.

Something's definitely wrong with this one. Yeah, yeah. It's defective. Yeah. But once I started doing this for living, I started being, not even looking at myself. It was almost like how people would perceive me.

Mm-hmm. Because to this day, I was just telling Trixie Mattel this. To this day, I still get, like, they're supposed to be compliments in person where they go, you're so much prettier in person. And I go, oh, right.

Okay. What did you mean by that? So let's break that down, actually. So when you say that, and it's like hearing it for, I'm not kidding, years. I've heard that for years. So now I'm like, you guys are starting to make me think I'm boof ass ugly. Am I literally like, do like what do I look like on this camera to you people? Like I'm actually scared.

No. That's, that, any sort of like backhanded thing. like that. Oh my God. Like literally grinds my gear so bad. Get used to it. You're getting big. I know. I know. I posted a video. I posted a video not too long ago about there's this woman at my gym and she, every time she sees me, this is like the fourth time that she's done it. She's like, I know you probably hate your hair. I know you probably hate it. But I love it. She's like, no, I think it is so cute. It is so cute. I know you really probably hate it. I know you hate that shit. I'm like, wait.

I'm actually, this is like, I want my hair to look like this. I'm like, wait. And I'm like, oh. You're, I've actually never felt more confident about what. Yeah, I'm like, actually, wait, I really like you right now. I'm like, wait, should I shave it off again? Like, I don't know. So I'm like, oh.

You hate your hair. This is like, I'm not, this is like the third or fourth time she's done this. Like, I see her like multiple times. Like the first time it was like, your hair is so cute. Your little curls. And then it like progressively got like more and more like, like now I feel like she's going like, your hair, I know you cannot fucking stand it. Like I feel like, I feel like,

just going to get worse every time I see this woman. So here she comes. Ugly haircut, girl. Here she fucking goes. I'm like, what did I do? But it's like, and I don't even know how to respond in that moment because she's so, she's genuinely so nice. Like I really don't think she realizes like.

They're not meaning to be rude at all. I'm like, you know what girl? Yeah, I love my fuck ass haircut, I guess. You know, whatever. Yeah, you're right. You're right. I fucking love your haircut. But I,

even recently I got that when I was hosting, I was at the Rove. Right. And I was like, I hosted something with my friend Dylan Mulvaney. And then after I finished, I was walking around. And this lady came up to me, she's like, I fucking love you. She's like an older white woman. Fucking love you. Love yourself.

Walks away. And then my fiance goes, that lady was at the talk thing. And I go, oh, was she? She was like in the audience. He goes, no, she walked by while you were talking on the mic. And she like, they like roped it off. So she was outside the rope right behind my fiance. And she goes, oh, I know that girl.

That girl's on TikTok. She like makes fun of men. I love her. And then while she's watching, she goes, man, she looks better in person. And then she walks away. Like, will it ever end? No, and when he tells me, I go, I wasn't even there and I got hit. Like, she fucking hit me and I wasn't even there.

Literally, like, like behind the, like, take me out in the back of the bar and behind the head. Like, like, oh my God. Like, are you kidding me? I can't catch a break. Yeah, I said, girl, let me get up. Like, like, literally. Oh my God, that's so funny. There was actually, this is so humbling, but what genuinely one of the funniest comments like

that I've ever seen. I did a Jubilee video a while back. And it was one of those like dating by like, it was like by body type kind of a thing. Okay. And so we're literally like damn near in our underwear. And it's like one of the ones where they pull the curtain up and stuff. Oh, like they look at your shoes first. Yes, yes, yes.

Okay. So at one point in the video, I say this is still before my face is like, you, you can see my face. And I say like in the video that like, oh, I dance like, you know, I dance at the club because they ask like what we do for a living. Yeah. And so I'm like scrolling through. the video got like so many views. I'm like looking through the comments one day. I'm like, let me see what people are talking about.

You know what I mean? And for the most part, everyone's being so nice. They're like, oh my God, all the girls are so sweet and amazing. Like, love this cast,

such a cute group. There's one comment. It goes, where'd she dance at? The gas station. You said, oh, oh, right.

And honestly, that got a kick to it. That was a little kick to it. Literally, still to this day, I'm like, no, no, he'd like,

that was so fucking funny. I'd lock my phone. That's enough for that. I was like, oh. It's like, Jubilee, can we delete that video? Like, get it the whole, like the whole thing. Delete it now. Oh my God, but so funny.

You know, so many years ago, like when I was still working nine to five, I got called in to do a Jubilee video. Like, they asked for whatever. I sent something in. They asked me to come and my sister went with me. I skipped work that day to go. Went into the studio. And I really felt, I was like, damn, this is crazy.

I'd never been on a set like that or anything like that. And I was like, whoa, this is crazy. And then I do it. And I forget it was like we were looking at people's Instagrams and then like just basically coming up with what kind of person we thought they were. Like describing what kind of person they would be in their head. And so they showed me like a few profiles. And then eventually like you meet the person like they bring up.

And then we all meet and then we all talk about who we really are and see if we were right on our assumptions. And I thought it was supposed to be funny. I did not think that it was like, get serious. looks kind. Like I wasn't, Oh, you were like kind of reading them

a little bit. Yeah, yeah. Like, in a funny way, I wasn't making my little, yeah, no, but like, yeah, like just like,

funny little, I was like, well, I figured like, that's why we're here. Like, yeah. Personality driven, right? And I was cracking them bitches up.

Like, they were all laughing at all the shit I was saying. And I, I remember one of the things I said was someone I was looking at. I was like, they look like they love,

okay, clearly they love designer because they were like wearing designer in every picture and I was like, but this kind of designer, it feels, it feels very consignment. It feels very, it feels the shops, second hand. The ones in Palm Springs.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And they laughed really hard. And I remember that guy actually was really did not like me because he didn't like that joke because I guess he really did shop there all the time. I like, I like, hey, I didn't know you were at the outlets like, yeah. I mean, hey, I'm not a clue. I don't want to talk bad on your hobby. Yeah.

But I, I thought the goal was to make people laugh. So I was like, kind of reading them all. I was cracking them. They never used the footage. Like, not once. I hope it's gone forever because I'm sure I'm both.

Just like deleted. And then everyone, my God, she looks so much better in person. Yeah, that one I would get. That one I'd be like, you're right.

I do, I don't photograph well. Right, right. But I did do lost archives of Jubilee. Wow. Look at us. We're two Jubilee girls. I know.

I love kind of love that. And I'm also reading here that you're a Virgo. I am a Virgo. So am I. Are you really? Yes. When's your birthday?

I'm August 25th. Oh, I'm, that's actually my anniversary. Oh my God. You're our baby. We. Awesome. You are a baby. Yes.

Oh my God. Wait, that's so cute. Yeah, I love that for you guys. Okay, fine. Okay, wait. That's my cousin's birthday. I'm like, okay, wait. Me.

Yeah. You're my cousin. Oh my God. Oh, my God. That's, yeah. That is so, look at us. Two Virgos. That's why you're so fucking funny.

But I do have some fun facts about it. you. Okay, okay. Let's talk about it. On here it says you have a tabby cat named Chai and another cat named Niso. Yes, which I did, I did actually knew you had two cats. When did you get them? Okay, so Chai, I got her, she's seven now. So before I lived out here, I lived in Boston. And literally, like, three days before I moved, like, out of my, like, parents' house to Boston, I was like, I need a cat. I don't know. That's like probably the worst timing. Like, why would I decide? Anyway, so I'm like, All right, I need a companion, you know what I mean for this. Yeah, right.

So I was, you know, on Snapchat one day and a friend of mine posted a little kitten. And I was like, oh my God, who's cat? He was like, mine. I'm like, well, where does you get this cat? He was like, my weed dealer. I said, oh, like, are there more? Can I go, like pick one up? A plug of multiple things.

Yeah, right. So I was like, well, I need one. Like, he was like, yeah, hit him up. So literally it was like, yeah, like a transaction of sorts where I just was like, hey, I'm here for the cat. He was like, all right, yeah, yeah, yeah. And he, like, took me inside. He took me inside, like, literal trap house, by the way.

And so he's like, yeah, we just need to, like, find them. I'm like, oh. So I'm like, they're like, they're like seven or eight weeks old. They're like babies. He's like, they should be in here. He's like, they're probably here somewhere. So I'm like, okay, you think they would be in, like, a contain space with a mother or something?

I don't know. So I'm like, hey, you know, I'm not going to tell you how to, like, raise your cats, whatever. So I'm like, okay. So he like goes in like a completely different room. I'm just, I'm in the kitchen at this point. I'm standing in the kitchen and I see a cat walk out. But it was very, it was the mom.

It was not one of the babies. I was like, okay, well, there's the mom, I think. And then like two seconds later, a little baby like starts meowing and walks out from behind the fridge. And I was like, oh, wait, there's one in here. I was like, wait, here's one. And then they like came back and they were like, oh, yeah, you have that one. I was like, oh, okay. I was like, I really wanted a girl cat too because I grew up with boys.

boy cats and I was like I want a girl cat like you know I wanted I need a daughter so I was just like oh is it a girl or a girl and then they picked her up and they were like I think it's a girl I was just like okay sure it works for me and so I took her home and she's been like literally the best she's like literally the best cat ever and she's such an angel yeah and then you have another one named me yeah I'm like I can't really see it's no I'm kidding love him but he is he is a character he's just he's it's like you get one and they're like the best, like they don't do anything bad. And then you're like, I need another one. And then the second one is always just like the literal spawn of Satan.

I'm just like, okay. He's so funny though. He's just like so bizarre. Like all my friends are just like he's just, he's so fucking weird. Like he's just like in the corner like, like he's just so strange. And I can't even like his mannerisms and just the stuff that he does. He's just a weird little guy. And when he was younger, he's kind of growing out of it now because he's probably like two or threeish now.

he was so bad he would get into everything like things that were like unfathomable like that chai would never even think about like he trying to bite or like ruining I'm like what like it was honestly like respect the creativity bro like I really am like oh it happens when you let men in the house yeah yes I know I'm like oh you've ruined everything yeah so it's like the cats have a great thing going and like you're gonna come in here with this masculine energy and I don't know like bro I don't know if you could stay here much longer. But I love him. He's hilarious.

He is, but he's just like, yeah, weird little guy. How'd you get him? Just adopt him from another friend? I was someone else's weed dealer. I was just like looking around at adoption centers like around here. Because at this point, this was when I was in L.A. And I was just like, I'm looking. I went to like two or three different adoption centers.

And I was like, okay, you know. And then I went to this one last one. I was like, let me just try this one before I go home. And I wasn't like set on going home with a cat that day. But I was like, I mean, I just want to like see what they got, you know, wouldn't hurt. And it was called like heaven on earth, something like that. And they had a lot of cats. And they were like, oh, we usually do buy appointment only, but it was like kind of dead that day.

Yeah. So they were like, it just come in, like, you know, come look around. And they were like, we just got these three guys in. And they were babies. Not as small as Chai was when I got her, but still tiny. And it was the three of them. They were brothers. She was like, yeah, somebody just found them like on the street and brought them here.

And, you know, we got them. and they're all good. They're like ready to go. And immediately, at out the three of them, I was like, oh, he's really cute. Like I just was like drawn to him. I was like, oh, he's adorable. Yeah. And so I was like holding him for a little bit. And they were like, oh, you want to like look around. Look at the other cats. I'm like, yeah. So I do a little lap. And then I was like, let me go, I want to go back and look at that one again. As I go back into that room, there are, there's a couple of these two guys. And they are like literally, this is only like within 10 minutes, by the way. Like, they're like signing the paperwork for, I'm like, who are they taking? Who are they taking? Not him.

please and then they were taking the other two but not the one that not not my son i was like wait no i i can't leave him here by himself now i was like no i have to take him so it honestly it all worked out so perfectly they're like that one's fucking weird they were like wait look at him he's fucking weird he's leave that one here literally i'm like i guess it was the only one that i didn't see that like everyone else like could tell that he was a fucking weirdo but me but i was like oh so yeah so i took him and yeah period you know it's funny i I have two Frenchies. And the first one, his name is Squid, and my other one's name is tuna.

Oh, love. Yeah, so, and Squid was my first baby that we got. My man got him for me for, like, our anniversary. Because I, when we moved into a new home, I really wanted an animal, especially working from home all the time. And he was working still as a trainer at the time. So I was always by myself at home. And I was like, this sucks.

It's so sad in this fucking house. Like, nothing to do. Yeah. I was like, not my man. I need something else. Yeah, yeah. I need an animal. So he adopted our Frenchie squid, but he got him from a friend.

And that, well, I used the term friend loosely. Yeah. He knew him. Okay. But that guy's also on drugs. So look at that. Some of the best animals. Come from just like maybe not so great.

Yeah. Like maybe just like just some not so great circumstances. Yeah. I adopted when we got him after he got older. We were like he actually got super, super energetic. because like frenchies have so much energy yeah they do and so i always say frenches if you have a lot of time and money they're great dogs oh awesome yeah no literally it's just like yeah if you don't have time or money don't get them don't please do not yeah my best friend has one too and that's like agreed yeah and

they work better and duos because they have so much energy so i was like i need to get him a friend because the window is closing to where i become that person with that dog that's like too much because he's always the best boy like he's so sweet he never barks he never attacks. He just has too much energy. He just like can't even contain it. And they can't even help it too. It's so funny. Or like, like, oh my God. Literally when I go to my friend's house, I'm like her friend she, like you would think that I am like Jesus Christ standing right in front of her. That's how excited she gets just to see somebody that's like not her mom. Like it's just I'm like, oh my God. Oh my God. Just for no reason. It's for no reason. And I love it though. But yeah, they do have a lot of energy.

They have so he has so much. And I even got him trained. Like we trained him up to a certain point. And then he stopped listening to me so getting parent deaf. He's like, wait. I actually don't have to do anything. Like he just realized. I'm actually realizing I never have to listen about I want to. He like became self-aware in that moment. He's like, fuck.

And it's funny because at one point my mom was dog sitting for me and my mom goes, I think he's deaf. And I go, really? And she goes, yeah, because, and I go, oh, no, girl, he just doesn't listen. No, he just don't give a fuck. Like he literally, that's him ignoring you. Yeah, he really just doesn't care. Which is ironic because when we got a new one, my, like when we fostered the other one,

it's because he was being rehomed because he was being rehomed because he was, his owner got a new job and he was like, I'm too busy. I can't watch him. And he's completely deaf. Oh, really? Okay. Yeah, which we wasn't on the application. I didn't know that. He did not tell me that till I was in person. Oh. But I remember when I looked at the pictures,

I was like, something about this dog is speaking to me. Even though the pictures were awful because they were taken by a single man. You know men don't know how to take pictures of shit, but especially not a dog. Yeah. Like the pictures were like a hundred yards away. They were like, horrible angles, like, blurry. Really, I was like, and I was showing those profile pictures. Like, I was like, look it, I'm going to go see this dog today.

And my whole family was like, oh. Even my man was like, are you sure? And I was like, let's just go see in person. He's way cuter in person. That's one we could say, you look way better in person. You're like, oh, no, he looked way. Oh, my God. He looks way better at person.

I'm going to write a hate comment. You look so much better in person. Yeah, you're like, oh. Well, then it turns out he is my son, right? Because we're both thuggos on the internet, but really good looking. in person apparently. Oh my God. But then when we talked to him about it, he was like,

also, I think he might be deaf. I go, thank. And he was like, well, yeah, I just haven't gotten him tested because I guess the hearing test is like $400. And the answers is just yes or no. It's just like, yeah, now he can't hear shit. Yeah. I mean, okay, thanks.

And he's like, I kind of didn't want to pay for it. And I was like, I don't blame you. That is crazy. That's real. That's real. Yeah. And I was, because it's not affecting his quality of life at all. Like he can still run and walk and everything normally.

So when I fostered him, I took him to my vet to have him, like, have him, like, checked out and stuff. And I said the same thing. I'm like, they said he, they think he might be deaf. And then his doctor was like, all right. And then he was like, can you hold this? And he gave me this big giant tin of, like, treats. And I was like, yeah. And then he goes, he turned my dog around.

And he goes, just dropping on the ground. And so I did. And he didn't flinch, not even a little. And my other dog was in the room and was, you like, and then he heard barking back there. And he goes, yeah, he's deaf. And I go, imagine. that was the test. It was $400.

Literally. No, that's genuinely. Like, they're like, all right, we'll be right back with him. They take him back. Yeah, they do. They're like,

I drop it. Yeah. Like, literally, that's exact. All right. Yeah. It's $400. Yeah.

They take him back and they just scream in his ears. Yeah. Yeah. He's deaf all right. Yeah. No, that's honestly like the easiest way to do what I mean. So,

I mean, and now I know for sure. Which is funny because recently I took him to the hospital because he was not feeling well and I was panicking. Uh-huh. And when I took him, I was like, I just have to tell you guys he is deaf. And they were like, oh, good to know.

And when they brought him back out to me, he's fine. He ate, he ate a fucking berry from the backyard and spit it out of his butt the other day. Oh, no. He's healed now. Okay, he's good. Yeah, charge me a fuck ton of money, but yeah, he's good now. Hey, thank God. Yeah, drop a couple racks.

Thank God. Thanks. Yeah. No more berries for you. Yeah. And when he came out, you would have thought, my dogs love the vet because they go and they get a lot of attention and treats. So when she walked him, out. It was like he was on a victory tour.

Like he was just stopping at every nurse. Yeah. Yeah, literally like, hey. Stops at every nurse. They're all, bye, tune. Yeah. He's like, on his point. Like, he's like literally like, okay. But so I get it. Having two, one bad, one good. Yeah. I feel that.

Oh. Honestly. It says on here that you rose to fame for Twitch streams and YouTube videos playing tons of video games from Roblox to dress to impress to horror games. Yeah. Yeah. You are a gamer girl. Yes. Yes.

Very much gamer girl. girl um like okay roblocks as far as just like literal mindless like just so stupid but like so much fun like when you you don't even have to like use your brain to play like it's so much fun i've never played roblox oh my god you've got to get on there girl dress you dress to impress is a good place to start i do love dress to impress so fun yeah i'm like so fun love a good dress to impress but um yeah other than that there's just like all these little like lobbies people are like talking to each other and stuff and there's there's like a there's one called cake off it's like the cake version version of dress to impress.

We have to like make a cake in like five minutes and it's like there's themes. I'm like, I can put in the icing on. And like I love that. But I also really like storyline games because I'm not really like a movie person. And I hate that I'm not because I feel left out all the time. Like everyone's like, oh my God. I'm like, no.

Yeah, me too. I never watch anything new. I'm like, yeah, I really haven't seen. Like even like old stuff that everyone's seen. I'm like, yeah, never found the time to do that one. So I don't know. like um and i don't care to yeah and that's really it like some super famous movies like godfather i'm i'm like i'm like yeah no literally same i'm like uh i yeah i mean i kind of like i believe you yeah i believe

yeah i believe yeah i bet it's good i bet it's a lot of guys in it some people shooting guns i don't know sounds good yeah yeah so that's kind of yeah i'm like the same thing so i would rather just yeah i'd rather play it because i'm like okay it's like gives me something to do um also probably like some sort of undiagnosed ADHD going on or something where I'm just like I feel like I need to be like doing something constantly. But I love a good storyline game because yeah, you're like, you feel like you're in it. I'm like this is fun. I love that. And like horror games too. That's like only more recently that I start to get into horror games. Because fun fact when I was younger, I was like petrified of anything like horror, horror movies like. Like so me. Me too. I was like it was also just I grew up in a Catholic household and it was more of like the like the fear of God like instead. building you and I'm like oh my god he's watching me like all the time I just was like super scared of just like anything like surrounding like just anything that would be typically like evil or scary I was like oh no no no oh fuck no like my friends actually when I was in middle school

or whenever the movie came out I'm pretty sure it was like middle school or early high school whenever insidious came out oh yes um I had literally never seen a scary movie like in my life and my friends convinced me we were at the because like the movie theater like inside of the mall like kind of a thing. When you're all hanging out. Yeah, they were like, let's go see a movie. I'm like, okay, yeah. So we're like looking at like the posters or whatever.

They're like, let's go see this one. I'm insidious. I'm like, what is that? Like what's it about? They're like, oh, it's like about a boy in his family. And I'm like, oh. And I'm like looking at the poster. It's like literally it was like a house and like a creepy boy.

Like, and I'm like, he looks kind of fucking weird. I don't know. I was like, okay. Yeah, let's go. Whatever. So we like go see the movie. Right. And literally within the first, like, 10 minutes, I'm like, there's like, like, a warning where it's just like this movie is like causing like paranormal or just something like where they try to freak you out in the beginning with like the text or whatever.

I was like, wait, guys, wait. I was like, wait, no, no, I didn't sign up for this. And I was like literally crying the entire time. And they were, they thought it was hilarious. I'm like, that's still to this day traumatic for me. But yeah, now I'm like, I love, I don't know what happened, but I'm like, I love horror games now. I think they're so much fun. Yeah, I don't, maybe it's a Virgo thing.

I was the same way. I was very afraid of everything scary. And I didn't really like anything. Like, I didn't want to pursue it at the same time. Yeah. I think, like, as I got older, I sometimes would get tricked into it. Or my friends would be like, I'm just going to put it on. And then everyone would fall asleep and I'd be the only one watching.

And you're like, biting your nails. Like, yeah. For real. I remember when I saw a hereditary when that came out in theaters. I saw it in theaters, but that's my stupid sisters fall. because she was like, we should go watch this movie together. It's supposed to be really good. And I was like, well, is it scary, scary?

Or is it just like, whatever scary? She's like, no, it's like a thriller. Yeah, she's like, it's like, it's 824. Yeah, she was like, no, it's like a thriller. I was so fucked up over that movie. Okay, no. It's like stayed with me. Yeah.

And actually was just talking about that movie recently with some of my friends because they were like doing like a rerun of it. Yeah. At some theater and they went to go see it. And they were like, that movie is like fucked up. I was like, yeah, it really is. Do you see Midsamar? Have you seen that one?

I've never seen that one. Okay, that will fuck you up a little bit too. Yeah, because after I watch Hereditary, I know Midsummer came out right after that. And when that came out, my sister was like,

oh, I think I'm gonna go see. I was like, you were like, you were like, you were like, no, I'm not listening to you.

I'm not listening to you. That's how I, yeah, I'm like, the thing with like the 824, I'm like there's some of them that are like quirky Q. And then when they like,

then they go down the road where I'm like, okay, it's like the point of no return like i'm not no no no this is like this is darksided this is dark yeah that was one of those that i had to watch like a bunch of happy stuff when i got home to like cleanse my brain you put on like the baby fucking fruit sensory video like you just like i can't miss rachel yeah i'm gonna ask her to help me okay it says right here that last year you'd been thinking of quitting your job as a dancer and then got a video that the club she were you worked out

was burning down you're all the universe works in a serious rest in peace actually that was like genuinely probably one of the craziest things ever because that's like literally not like that's not made up like the club burnt down like burnt to the ground so basically yeah so i was like kind of like oh yeah no you're fine oh my god i know huh two o'clock on the money for real crime crime crime time yeah so i was kind of like one foot in one foot out with like the streaming because i was like you know it was cute and I was making a little bit of money, but not enough for me to be like,

done dancing, hanging up the boots, but I was, you know, trying to get to that point. But I wasn't like, I was just kind of scared to like fully commit. So I was working,

but I was not working as much as I was at one point. And I was just like, man, I don't know. Like I've been dancing for like six years at this point. So I was kind of like, eh, you know,

kind of like ready to be done with it. Yeah. And I literally call my, my best friend at the club. I'm like, yeah, are you going to go to work tonight? I think I'm going to go tonight.

It's probably like noon. just woke up not that long ago. I'm like, you can't go work tonight? She's like, oh, you haven't heard. I was like,

heard what? She's like, the club burned down. I'm like, wait. What do you mean? Like, and we would always, the funniest thing,

we would always joke. Like, we would literally be like, oh, we're gonna fucking, like, fuck this place. Let's just set it on fire. Like, as a joke that we would, like, a little like running shit that we had. Like,

oh my God, we'd burn this fucking place down. Yeah. I'm like, I'm like, wait, which one of you bitches did it for real. Like, so, yeah so she's sending me videos on

Instagram of people like recording like there's like it's like news like out you know like little outlet videos of the club legitimately on fire and I'm like oh and it was in this like almost like a strip mall kind of a thing which is also like funny for a strip club to just it's like you know the subway fucking taco spot strip club

like Instagram I kind of love that though but the whole like all of the businesses like burnt down to the ground so it wasn't like just the club which was like unfortunate for like others other people's businesses and stuff. But yeah, so I was joking and like, oh my God, I bet she's somebody, some's like crazy ex-boyfriend or something. And that actually genuinely ended up being what happened. So apparently some, this girl that worked there, her ex or her man or something, he went there at like five in the morning,

was closed. And threw a Molotov in there. Yeah. That's crazy. Burnt the whole thing down. Yeah, burned like gone. And so I was like, oh, well, definitely not going to go to work tonight. Oh, so no work tonight. Yeah. Oh, so I'm just like literally just like, literally. just like ashes around me. I'm just like the pole still with the pole like survived. Like literally I'm just like come on guys like. Imagine if the pole still was up. I bet they still be like you guys can still dance. Oh, it's actually like the strip club doesn't close for anything. When I first started working and I was dancing in Boston. Oh my God. They only closed on weirdly enough 4th of July. Okay. And then the guys who frequent the strip club love that. Yeah. No, literally. And the owners. It's just like

every white guy ever. So I'm like, okay, I guess. Didn't close for Christmas, like any other big holiday. They closed for Fourth of July. And then they would do, there was a party once a year, like a holiday party. And they would close that night for the holiday party. That was it, right? Nothing else.

So, and there was like really bad snowstorms in Boston, too. And the way that that club worked is you were on like a schedule. You would pick the days that you'd want to go like two weeks before. And you would have to like commit to that schedule. And if you couldn't get somebody to cover your shift, you would have to like have another girl cover your shift. And what we would do, this is actually so bizarre because this, like, that was my first club that I ever worked at.

So I didn't know that other clubs like weren't run this way. Most clubs like could give two fucks if you show up or not. Like regardless, there's going to be girls that'll come work and like, it's fine. Um, but the like if you didn't get someone to cover your shift that you would get like in trouble. So we would like offer money like $100 take my shift. So I'm like, why am I paying somebody to like to not work? Like yeah. So like, you know, people would like have.

to take other girls shifts and you know and then if somebody wouldn't do it they'd be like right $200 somebody take my shift like the bids would go up that's how bad I don't want to work yeah the bits would go up it was just very bizarre so I remember the new year's day um the club was open and this is when I was kind of like a newbie so they were like you have to work new year's day because nobody else wants to I was like okay fine so it was me and like six other girls yeah and it was such a bad snowstorm it was freezing the heat goes out at the club okay I'm not even joking, the top of the pole was like frosted. That's how cold it was in there. And we're literally in fucking lingerie. Just like, freezing our asses off. To the point where there was like three

customers, but our boss was like, you guys could like wear your coats if you want. I'm like, hey, what's the point? I'm like, hey, so I'm in a north face and stripper heels right now. Like, what the fuck this looks insane? And he like literally, we were like walking around in like full blown winter coats and heels and I'm like. You're wearing a pea coat. I'm like a like a flasher. Literally. I'm It was like, it was so, I'm like, this is just, hey, let's close. They like, send somebody to, like, Walmart to go get space heaters. I'm like, how about we just wrap it up for the night? Like, there's three people here.

Didn't do this. Yeah, I'm like, crazy idea. But let's just go the fuck home. But it's so bizarre. I'm like, what the hell? Like, and you're not even missing out on money because there's like, there's nobody here. Yeah, it's like, regardless. Yeah, it was so, so weird.

That's so funny. They don't close for anything. My first and last time going to a strip, up well I will say that wasn't my first first time but it was my first time like really having a strip club experience it was in Vegas and it was like bless you right out there crazy oh girl and it was like a two-story one so it was like girls were on the bottom men around the top and like the energy with the girls on the bottom was so weird and creepy like it was a bunch of men obviously it was like a Friday night so it's pretty packed but it's just so quiet like the way they were watching was just so like

It's very menacing. Yeah. It feels very like Batman villain energy. Yeah. And they all looked like the penguin, so there's that too. Like all the men in there. They literally look like crawled out of their mom's basement. So sorry about that.

Yeah. It's very true. The dancers were stunning and gorgeous and so talented, but it's just the men watching. They're just like literally like shriveled up. And they just watch like. Yeah. Yeah. And there's just like nothing weirder to me than going and getting bricked up with your homies and then separating.

Like, what's the point? But you want to know what's even worse is when they go, this is also a phenomenon too. They go get bricked up together and then they're like, well, you know, I can't leave him though. I can't. Like, they're like, they don't want to like go, like, leave him to go do a private dance. They're like, are you going to be good? Like, are you going to be good if I go. It's five, like, it's five minutes, tops.

You guys are fine. You'll be totally fine. He could, like, he'll be able to navigate without himself, like, without you. He's okay. Like, so bizarre. That's also like another phenomenon. Usually it's when guys come in like groups of like three or more. It's like, yeah, that's kind of how it is.

But also, too, when it's just two guys coming together, I'm like, oh, so you guys want to kiss each other. Like, oh, I'm like, oh, okay, so you guys want to get horny and kiss. Yeah, I'm like, okay, that's cute. Like, let's do it. Like, fucker, who cares? Something so weird about it. Yeah.

And I went upstairs to the, where the male dancers are. And when I was up there, like, the energy is way more fun. Oh, yeah. Because women are fun and women are having fun. But, like, male strip, like, I described my experience in a male strip club as, as like a haunted house just around every corner. And just like nothing but fear and dread following me the whole time. I feel like I'm being chased.

Oh my God, literally. I've actually never been to a male strip club. It's awful. I don't recommend it. In fact, well, I do recommend it if you take a really good group of friends and you're just trying to have a good ass night. But I remember my mom was there and she, of course she was. And she got, she like paid for like a dance for me because it was my 21st birthday weekend.

And like, I, it was like on the stage. Like so like, they like bring you up there. Yeah. And it's just all the worst things. Like I do love attention. Not that kind. Yeah. No, I know.

Okay. So what do they make you do? Well, they just had me sit on the chair at first. And they brought me up on stage and it was like this big ass white dude, which I will say every other male stripper in there was really short like, because I'm tall. I'm a tall thick girl. So I'm, I'm six feet tall.

Every stripper in there was probably like five eight. Yeah. You were like, come on bring me some some meat. Yeah. I'm like, yeah, I knew like a little something. I like a little something on my man. Yeah, right, like, come on. And everyone was so small.

And I remember a lot of their chests were shaved too. And the only reason I knew that is because they kept rubbing on me and it was giving me like rug burn. Yeah, like the, oh, God, yeah. Hey, hey, hey, queen. Yeah. I was like, you're giving me like, hey, girl. Oh, yeah.

And I remember when I went on the stage, I was like, this is the worst thing that's ever happened to me because I went up, but the dude was like six, five, like, which I thought was unheard of for a stripper. I was like, tall, beefy, white. dude like good looking dude too he came up and he was dancing to you guess it work from home by fifth harmony okay now that's awful for another reason now every time i hear it that's what i think of this night it's just like the PTSD yeah i just go back to this night like i'm like and like he's dressed as a construction worker given the theme and he's kind of just dancing around me at first and it's all gyrating and

grinding on me whatever yeah at one point though he like obviously like if i'm saying like this he's like over my shit right and because he's so tall his dicks in my face. In your mouth. Which I'm like, it's rubbing my nose like this. I'm being nudged by it. I don't know. Like my lashes are so big at the time. They're brushing it.

That's the type of that I was on at the time. And then I remember at one point he was like, first of all, while he's doing this, everyone's cheering. He's like making normal conversation with me. And he's like, where are you from? That's interesting. Yeah. Yeah.

He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's like, actually trying to get to know me. Like he was like, what are you setting? What do you hope to do with that? Hey, buddy, now's not the time. Yeah, like, at one point he goes, this is the worst part of the whole night. But he goes, he's like, stand up. And he like grabs my hands, makes me stand up.

And I'm in like a slutty little dress in heels, right? As you should. And then he's like dancing, turns around. He like bends over. He's like dancing, whatever. I was like, oh, I'm doing the bending. Oh, okay. Oh, right?

Oh. This is new. Yeah, you're like, oh. First time, I'm back, they might be into this. Like, awakened something and you, like, wait a second, actually. And when he, like, he's, like, doing all that. Then he turns around and he looks at me.

And then he said, he said, are you afraid of heights or something like that? I think it was supposed to be a joke. And I go, no, not particularly. And then he bends down, grabs me around both legs, stands back up, twist me like the arms of a clock. bitch. When I tell you I'm upside down, upside down my legs like this. Like face down. Like as, and listen, as a big girl, the fear I feel being picked up. Like, yeah. Yeah. Like where, what's happening is for you to try and be like,

you know what I mean? If I hear that, I'm gonna mad. If I hear one grunt. Oh my God. If you even struggle a little bit, you better not strain yourself. Yeah. No, no, living put me to fuck down. You're not going to embarrass me on my birthday. On my birthday of all days. Like, he flips me. around and then he's like holding like at this point we're like 69ing yeah he's holding me and he's like and the worst part is he's holding me like this and he starts going like this like why would you do that to me of all people you would really like i'm literally sweating like reliving it i'm sweating reliving it because i'm so panic and then just imagining your head dangling like what's going like everything you see is upside down like everyone everyone

the crowds upside down. Yeah. And I'm looking between his legs at everyone else going. And I, at one point when he spun around, while he's still holding me in the 69 position, he spun around. And then at that point he was facing the other way.

And then through his legs, I could see my sister and my mom. And both of them laughing. Oh. And then my sister said, that's the funniest thing I've ever seen in my entire life. Like she was like, that's like a core memory for her now.

Oh my God. See, the core memory, the little ball and inside out, it's like yellow for her. And for me, it's, it's fucking red. It's red. It's blue sadness. Yeah. Oh my God. That is, wow. Okay. Well, now if I was like, not convinced enough to never go to a male strip club, but now I definitely am. I know, because now when I see the magic mic experience and stuff, I'm curious to know if it's similar horror to that. Yeah. I'm not trying to find out. You're like, hmm, it's so, it's so funny to how different, like, the male versus like, women like it's two completely different like industries and worlds and like you said it's

literally just like the hermit guys like just like punched over and like you know what I mean I mean I mean not all the time like that's also another thing too a lot of times when guys will come in and they're like a decently like they look okay you know what I mean it's like you're just like a normal fucking looking guy yeah they're like you probably don't get to dance with guys that look like me all the time do you probably like make your day a little bit better I'm like oh shut the fuck I'm just like girl I don't give a fuck literally who is in this chair right now behind me Like, please, don't hear of your pain.

I'm not really looking at faces most times. Yeah, I'm like actually I'm not here. I'm not looking for love. Like I'm not really. I mean like this, yeah, bro, I'm at work right now. Like, it's really not that serious. I know one of my friends, I have a few friends who have danced before and they've told me like,

one of the most annoying ones they would get would be like, I could take you away from all this. Oh yeah. Let me take you away. Let me save you. Literally like, oh girl, like yeah, come with me. You don't have to do this anymore. Like, yeah, one that kills me too.

It's also just like, you're too pretty to do this. Bitch, that's why I'm here. What the hell you're talking about? That's the whole job. That's the whole shit. That's literally, I'm like, so you're telling me you paid the cover fee because you wanted to come in here and see ugly bitches. Like, what do you mean by that?

Like, like, bro, stop acting like, oh, my God. Relax. Knock it off. Yeah. But that's like, honestly, I feel like I'm kind of like having a full circle moment now where now that I'm like, okay, doing my little content and shit and like making a little coin. I'm like, okay, I want to go to the club and be that.

I mean, like, baby, I could take you out of here. For real. Girl, actually, they might have gone to some. I could take you away from all. Like, I just want to cosplay that. Like, just, I just need to feel what that's like to be on the other end. You know what I mean? Yeah, to play a big baller.

It says that you had a podcast called Vacancy at Vanillas. You have one currently. And you said, you want to revisit it? Yeah. So I, like, took a little bit of a break. I've been on a break for, for, for, from the podcast. Sorry. I've been on a break from the podcast for a few months because, uh, I wanted to kind of, huh?

Oh, the fucking sirens. It's always two, too, too. Like not two o'clock, but I mean two rounds of driving. Eric, you can put it in off. It's crime time. Yeah, so I'm taking a little bit break from it right now, but I want to possibly revisit it. I think it's fun. Like, don't get me wrong.

I love the podcast because it's just like a little yap session like by myself. Yeah. But I've been trying to do like, yeah, more vlogs and stuff lately. But the podcast is is really fun. because yeah, I literally just feel like I'm just like on FaceTime with somebody. Like I'm sitting there kind of just like, I've had my friend Rachel on like a few episodes. But other than that, it's usually just me just like in my room just fucking yapping for an hour and love it. It's so much fun.

That's a skill in it of itself. Yeah. I tell people all the time. I think you've got it in spades. Like being able to, especially twitching because like that's live. But talking like being able to talk to yourself and no one else for that long is like a skill I think a lot of people don't realize is very difficult. Yeah. People like you and I have it naturally where we're just.

annoying. I'm like I'm like I'm literally I'm just that annoying like I can talk that much could go on forever honestly if you don't stop me it won't end like yeah yeah I joke with my uh because my fiancee like is the complete opposite of that like so I I just talk at him a lot like I'll just tell him all kinds of things and he just listens to me and like sometimes I'll be talking for like 40 minutes straight and I'll start like I wanted to tell him something I saw on Instagram and I'll end talking about like the Chinese Imperial Army it's like And I'm like, how did I get here? He's just sitting, he's just listening the whole time. Yeah, the whole time he's going, love that. Yeah, he's like, okay. And then as soon as I get stand, I'm like, anyways, what was I saying? Yeah, like, you told me you saw something on Instagram and I go, oh, right. Oh, yeah.

Those two broke up. Yeah. Can you believe it? That was it. That was the whole story. That was all you had to say, really, though. Like, no, yeah, I feel that. I kind of get, like, a little carried away.

Even on Twitch sometimes, although, like, ask me a question and I'll start answering the question. And then, like, completely, like, and they're like, well, you never answered the first question. always like constantly and that's the thing too like with the podcast i um everyone's always just like so as far as like the editing like you know you have to like edit it i'm like oh no i purposely like try to talk for the hour straight so that there's very minimal editing like i don't really there's not a lot of cuts i'm like i just try to keep it fucking going i'm like i don't like to edit more than i have to i'm like i'm like let's just keep it rolling yeah i know so i'm like it's usually just the uninterrupted full hour um just stream of consciousness yeah yeah yeah

Yeah, exactly. But that's a skill. It's fucking hard. Sometimes when people ask me, like, oh, I want to start a podcast or I want to start this. Like, what do I need to buy? What do I need to do? Yeah.

And I always tell them, I'm like, don't buy anything. Don't even think about, don't think about names. Don't think about any of that. Just set up your phone and record yourself talking for 40 minutes. Like, pick one thing to start about and then just see if you can do it. And just go, no, literally. Talk for 40 minutes. Before you even like, buy this, you know, the Sony, the fucking mic.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly. And that's the thing, too, at the end of the day, too, It's like even with like Twitch and stuff like people ask me like oh like what kind of like you know what's what stuff do I need like as far as like the computers and the lights and I'm like my bill my like little setup is so bare bones. It's so like low budget. I'm just like it's whatever like barely just works. But yeah it's more about like the content that you as a person can like produce like it's at the end of the day they're like they're there to watch you. You know what I mean? Like some people's favorite streamers literally stream off of like a $30 fucking webcam that like sucks. But they love the, the. person behind the camera. You know what I mean? Absolutely. Yeah. So it doesn't always have to be like this, you know, yeah, like people are like, well, I don't have like all this hype. I'm like, girl, just see if you could fucking do it first. You know what I mean? Like, just try it at least before you go. Yeah. I'm a huge proponent of using whatever it is you have. Yeah. It's funny you say that too because like I film all of my

videos. I would say 99% of my TikToks in TikTok. Really? Yeah, I filmed them in app. Yeah. I've been doing that since I started making videos. I'll even edit in TikTok. I don't get No, literally so easy though. They've made it. It's like so much easier too because they got the sound effect. Yeah. Everything. I'm like, wait, well, I really don't need much else. Yeah. And I'll, I'll do anything on my phone. If I could buy a home on my phone, I would. Like, I'll do it all on my phone. I have like a million and one tabs open because I'm just constantly doing shit on my phone. But I tell people all the time, I was like, I record shit on my iPhone all the time. No, you're so me because I, this is actually really funny. I had never, like, growing up, like, we just had

like the family computer. I never really like had a laptop or anything. So, and I, and I just, I didn't go to college, so I'm like, I never fucking needed one. Honestly, I'm like, high school was down where I'm like, cool. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Into the strip club. I go. But like, I genuinely, I never really needed like a laptop or anything.

So I never had one. Yeah. And I had got one for the first time in like, probably like 2021. I was just like, okay, like laptop time. Like I just want to be like grown and sexy. I don't know. I bought it. Never fucking touched it.

Never touched it. Sold it. Because I'm like, I don't even use this thing. And then like when I started, when I actually started the podcast, I'm like, okay. I actually need a lot of that. But yeah, but like, still to this day, I'm like, I do everything on my phone. I'm like, I use a laptop sometimes. But I'm like, I love, I just love my little phone.

Me too. Easy. It's so easy. Yeah, we were when I think, I forget where we were. Oh, when my sister, we threw something for her when she turned 30. And me and my friends were at the house. And it was funny because like a lot of our friends were all in the same industry. So like we all do the same shit. And so like the first day we were there, a lot of us had like brand deals and shit to do and like work.

So we were all working. everyone was working on their laptops i was working on my phone and so i i have the cord headphones still too i always carry them with me and i was editing a brand deal on my phone in ticot and i was like i because my vision is so bad i was literally like i had it this close and i was going like this and i was doing it and my friend took a picture in me she goes what the fuck are you doing because i was just like this close with the headphones yeah and i was in the picture i'm smiling because i'm watching myself you're watching no i'm laughing at myself no oh my god and And people will always be like, I think it's so funny how you find yourself so funny.

Like they'll clip me and I'll watch it back. And I laugh as if it wasn't me that just did that 10 fucking minutes ago. I'm like, that was hilarious. They're like, bro, it's you. I'm like, so what? It's still funny. Like no, me as anyone else you'd be laughing too. Yeah, right.

I'm like, I don't care. I watch my own shit back. I'm like, still got it. My man told me this the other day. He was like, I hate when I'm watching your videos where I'm like, making fun of someone or I'm just making jokes. And I can tell when you make yourself laugh really hard. Like there are points where he can tell like my eyes light up.

Like you genuinely like, I surprised myself. Yeah. Oh my God. You're like that way. That was good. Yes. Oh my God. You're like proud of that one.

That's funny as hell. Okay. I have one last one. It says that obviously recently you went viral for blind unboxing and you famously have had some bad luck opening the ones you specifically didn't want. So we brought some here today. so we can open them together. Miss Carrie.

Oh my God. Can I have the blind box, please? I got you some so we can open them on camera together. Wait, stop. I'm so excited. I know. It's Christmas. Oh, yes.

I know you like the skull candy ones. Yes. So Carrie went and got them for me, but I don't know what kind they are. Wait, I don't have this. This is the new series. Ooh, new series alert. Shout out Pop Mart. Wait, yeah.

So I specifically was like, I got to open one. with her on camera. Obviously, we have to open together. Okay, well, you have to famously say which ones you really want, which ones you don't fucking want. Which ones you don't want to the box. Let's want it against me. Yeah.

Yeah. Okay, let's see. You go first. I'll look. Okay. You're more experienced than me. Honestly, okay, unlike the Christmas tree,

these ones are actually all really fucking cute. Okay. I am really going to be happy with this one, the gauntah, this pink one or this one in the middle, the skeleton. Mm-hmm. Okay.

one I don't want really not fucking with the puppetry, really not rocking with her. Yeah. And then the carousel lantern is also kind of fucking lame. Yeah, I agree. I was going, okay, I really would love, I would love the Gonta too. Yeah. I like this, uh, hill sensor one. That's pretty safe.

Oh, yeah. Oh, that's pretty. Yeah. But I was thinking the same thing. The, first of all, pan flute, lame. Yeah, lame. And then the pricket. What even is that?

Yeah. Pan flute's like ups. side down like girl what are you doing? Girl what are you doing? Get it right. Okay so now we know. Let's open them up. I think they have a little tab. Also what kills me too in my most recent one where I bought like the giant like $300 like the Sanrio one. Yeah yeah yeah. And at the end I'm like thank you Popmar and they're like you're thanking them like you didn't just pay for that shit. Thank you for taking my money Pop Mart. I appreciate you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm like okay. You didn't have to go there but. Hey guys. It's my fantasy. Yeah. Let me live it. Can you hear. I bet sound is

loving this. Sounds perfect. Sounds perfect. Oh wait, I don't want to see what it is. Don't spoil her for me. I wouldn't even tell, even if I could. How do you get this thing out? Oh, here she is.

Oh, they're like little spheres. Let me see. They are they ruining it. They show you the card on top. Who'd you get? Ugly little girl. Hold on. Just kidding.

Just kidding. You're a beautiful queen. What does it say? I literally got the puppetry once Really not fucking with her So did I What are the fucking odds You're right, you are curse

The one I said I did And it cursed you as well Like are you kidding me? Man, your curse is so strong It hit me at the same time Well, nothing I'm looking at her face card is crazy No yeah Her face card is really good

Her face is beat down She's got she's mugged down Yeah easily But like what it's concerning at this point Like genuinely I'm like, I don't want the puppetry. Okay, the comments on your videos always being like, do not buy a lottery ticket. Or the edits where it's like they put the sad music behind it and everyone's like a case that didn't sit right with me.

It's just like, shut. Oh, y'all are so annoying. Still on the run. Oh my God, no, literally. What these are, I love that they're in like a little like their own thing. Wait, this is so much fun. They have their own enclosures. No, this is really cute.

I do like, yeah. I love that for her. I'm so glad I could give you another unlucky one. you know but I'm learning to love her already just like the Christmas tree just like the Christmas tree. Because she was born here. Yes. Yes. Yes.

And I'm, yes. Exactly. But no, no. No, she's so cute and thank you so much. Oh my God. Look at us. Now we know.

Nothing or other. Little twins. I'm happy for us. Yeah, just like the Christmas trees. They were twins. So it worked. Twins. Twins.

Yeah. Oh my God. Well, thank you so much for coming on the show. My God. Thank you for having me. I love you. My God. It's been amazing.

You're so hilarious. I would love to know if you have any advice for anyone who maybe is like streaming or making content up and coming and like maybe they're feeling a little discouraged or disheartened. Obviously now, obviously you've been making content for a minute. But now recently I'm so glad people are now seeing how fucking funny you are. Thank you. And giving and rewarding you for it. You're hilarious. But do you have any advice for anyone who's making content?

Okay. I would say again, like you don't need like all the bells and whistles. Like literally just just go for it. You know what I mean? and like people will find you like your little your little crowd like your your niche like they will find you if you post enough and like get yourself out there like the people that fuck with you will come and be like girl I fuck with you so yeah just like just and be yourself like just try to like be yourself be authentic um and I know that's hard when like your first time getting in front of

the camera it's always a little awkward but the more you do it the more like it becomes easier every time so yeah and I agree with you about being yourself too because you are that I think is what people love the most about you but it's also I feel like obvious if you're trying to like act like somebody else or rip off their bit. It's obvious. And then you won't build a following. But yeah, period.

I think that's fantastic advice. I fucking love you. I think you're so funny. I can't wait to see what else you keep doing. Thank you. You're amazing. And thank you all so much for joining us on this episode of the comment section show. Thank you so much for my amazing guest, Vanilla Mace.
