I'm so happy to have you. Thank you so much. I'm here to drop it, pop it. Not lock it because I might need to use the bathroom in a second. I'm so happy you're here. You're actually someone that people are like, please have Kota on. They tell me that a lot. Thank you.

Per period. Slay. Slay. Very much sleigh. I'm so happy to have you. I've been a fan of you for the longest time. I've been a fan of you for the longest. You're like one of the funny.

No. Let's talk after. Yeah. That'll be the locket. I'll lock you down. Okay. Please don't. How have you been? How's life? Happy New Year.

Happy New Year. It's been great. Not much to say, honestly. No. I need this year to be something new. Revolutionary. It's going to be. I can feel it for you especially. Yeah, I need you. You're like one of the funniest people I've, I think like my entire family. Because sometimes we all have our own little niches. I'm like, oh, I've seen so. Hell yeah, bitch.

It's so funny because my sister, my brother, my boyfriend, all of them have seen you before. Big fans. We love you. We think you're so funny. I'm going to get them a shirt. How did you get started on TikTok? On TikTok, I think when I moved to Florida, I used to live in a mobile home, and then I would just do like SpongeBob audios. That's how I just started. Can I show the camera? Swung Bob.

But yeah, that's how I just started. But then after that, I just went off. Oh, I love that. Just about it. Actually, I then. Did you start during the pandemic or was it like after? At the pandemic. Okay. It was like when I popped up.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I think my first video, no, not my first video, but when it popped up was like a video talking about women's rights. So, yeah. Oh, tea. Yeah, about nips been seen and men being like so drawn to it. Oh, T. That was your first video to pop off?

Yes. Oh, I didn't know that. Well, no, you know. The first one, I think the first, like, huge video of yours I ever saw was when you give your dog a bath outside. Yeah. I'm like, I have a couple. Yeah. I forget your dog's name, but it's a little, yes.

Gimli. Gimli. I love the living. When you were giving him a bath outside and he kept jumping out. Yeah, I tried to baptize him, but he didn't want it. I'm like, okay, you double. You said I rebuke. I'm like, you're just like me?

Slave. Very. Do you like, think that has life had like 180ed for you? Is it like kind of the same but elevated? His life? Your life. My life has changed drastically so much. Actually, yesterday I was at the mall with my best friend.

and then, no, actually we're at the gym and these girls, I saw that they recognized me but I just passed away oh, well, not pass away like dead, but like, rewording wrong. But yeah, I walked away and then I was like, I think they recognized me. And I looked at them and I waited and like,

ah, I'm like, no, I can't do like with that like so much screaming. But then, yeah, my life has changed a lot. It's a crazy different feeling. Yeah, I have fans from the Philippines. Right. Isn't that tea? I know.

so funny. I was looking at my analytics for my audience yesterday. I had to like do some work stuff and I put one of the top countries for me is Germany. Germany. I said damn bitch. What are you doing over there? I don't know. I got Philippines, Australia. Same. I don't know what else

but. I know why I have a huge I have a huge audience in Australia and I know why. It's because the men are rancid over there. Oh. I don't know what's in the water over there. A lot. But they are cranking out terrible men one by one bitch. Each one that comes out, they say like, croaky, and then they start talking about how much they hate women,

you know what I mean? Like, it's almost like in their bloodline. I don't know what the fuck is going on over there. Don't go to Australia. Don't. Or do, I don't know. You should come over here. No, yeah, you should definitely come over.

I'm going to. I don't know about that. You won't come back. You won't. I'm going to come back like a champion. You know what I mean? Like, for the people. I did it for you guys.

What would you say is like, like, what would you say was when you found your like rhythm and TikTok, like when you realize like, oh my gosh, like this might be something I can actually do. I think I found my rhythm on TikTok was when, because you know how you just randomly start doing random videos. Yeah. On TikTok until you find your niche. Yeah, absolutely. So I think I was just doing unboxings of like toys and then I would just like do stuff with them.

And then like or do like reviews on them like different things. Yeah. Like shopping. Like, you know. Shopping. Cheat. Shout out, you know, brand deals. Yeah.

Which is good. I think. in the sense that it's like a completely different realm for you to like venture into. And like you could still show your personality when still doing unboxing. Because it's hard to do anything. Yeah. Be you. And be hilarious.

And that's you mean. Nobody can never be mean. Do you want to do comedy? Do you want to go into anything like acting or anything like that? So comedy, when I was a kid, I did want to do comedy once. But my dad was like, no. No. So that's clown.

I'm like, okay, puppy. He's like, no. Okay, but now, since I grew up religiously, so my mom always had to be, like, acting in church. So I would do, I'd be, like, go for that. Yeah, that's where I see you going, honestly. Yeah, I'd love to be, like, on a Hispanic, you know, TV show. That would be so great.

I'd be great on that. I would love that. I think it's also, it speaks, too, to, like, how magnetic your personality is, because it, unboxingings and shopping and doing, like, halls and stuff can be very saturated. Like there's lots of people who do unboxinges. There's lots of people who do reviews and stuff. But yours are like stellar above the rest. And I think it's because of your personality,

because of how funny you are. Thank you. And the things that you say and do, I love it. I love myself. Every single episode is me just jerking off every guest I bring on. And I have no shame in doing that. Well, that's fun. That's my gift to you, happy new year.

A jerk off? Okay. Speaking of your niche, right? Which we already talked about was shopping is a big, big, big part of your platform, which I love and obviously being hilarious, that's going to be our topic for today. Yay. Because it can go many different ways, right? Because shopping, I think a lot of times is stigmatized because of gender roles and all of that

to women primarily. But you love to shop. I love shopping. And when I go with my mom, like, thrifting, I always go on the woman's aisle. My mom's like, what are you doing here? I'm like, mommy, I love the pants. They're so good and so comfortable. And they're so much cuter.

Yeah, very much. Yeah. Like the way that they design, I feel like a lot of times because of the strict gender binary. A lot of times I feel like men's clothes look the same. Yeah. There's not much flavor. No spice. Yeah. It's like a plain bagel. Yeah. You have to add something to it. I actually love plain bagels. What's your favorite? What's your bagel order? Um, cinnamon a bagel. Oh, a cinnamon bagel is good. Yeah, it's really good. Really? You only like cinnamon bagels. Well, I can- What about like a salty one. Not a salt bagel, but like a different flavor. Like a cheese bagel? I probably do that.

But like a salt bagel, I don't know what you want. I've had like a salty flavor. Like, you know, there's sweet and salty kind of thing. I'm like, I don't know where you're going. I feel like we're getting lost. Yeah. Okay, never mind. That's your, okay, cinnamon.

Exema is unpredictable, but you can flare less with ebbglis. A once-monthly treatment for moderate to disappear eczema. After an initial four-month or longer dosing phase, about four and ten people taking ebbglis achieved itch relief and clear or almost clear skin at 16 weeks. And most of those people maintain skin that's still more clear at,

one year with monthly dosing. Ebglis, Librikizumab LBKZ. A 250 milligram per 2 milliliter injection is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older who weigh at least 88 pounds or 40 kilograms with moderate to severe eczema, also called atopic dermatitis that is not well controlled with prescription therapies or topicals or who cannot use topical therapies.

Before starting Ebbglis, tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection. Ask your doctor about Ebbglis.com or call 1800 LilyRX or 1-800-545-9. I told someone once that I was like, I like a plain bagel with like butter. I'm like cool with that.

And they were like, that's disgusting. The way that I tell people that order and I get, I get hazed. The way I get excommunicated. How did you discover that? Butter on place. Did it just happen? one day? I don't know.

I think when I was younger, I was just like, I was very plain, like, with my flavors. Oh. I don't know why. I think I was just, I don't know.

Maybe it's my mentalness. It's okay. We all have our done size. Those are my flaws. You love me in spite of them. That's what's important. Okay, so we're going to talk about shopping. But for those of you who don't know,

here at the comment section, what we like to do is we like to bring videos that I was tagged in and that are applicable to our topic today. And we laugh, Kiki, share all the giggles, all that fun stuff. So for this first video,

I just described them. so this is a video that's captioned when men go shopping with their partners and it's a montage of a ton of guys sitting on the couches and chairs outside of the stores at the mall just looking at their phones or staring into space and you know I think that's true to an extent but I don't think that's every single man in the history of time I mean are they mad I don't know I don't know I think like sometimes I think if that's how you're going to be why do you go?

Like if she says I'm going to the mom If you're not like bothered by it Just like sit down and that's it But if you're bothered it just go to the cafeteria or something Or go home Go home Like drive separately Like don't come is what I think

I think I think I for me like when I go shopping Like I feel like sometimes there's time At a place like sometimes I'll take my boyfriend Sometimes I won't Like I'll go with somebody else Because I'm like well you don't need to do there Because there's a lot of girls I'll be like can you like drive me there

Yeah which is fine if they're willing to do it But then like you said And then if you get mad Yeah Then don't don't Don't even drive me. Just Uber me. Just pay for it.

Yeah, pay for it. Exactly. Reparations. That's what I say. Every single man's going to be like, see, that's why she thinks that men should pay for everything. They should. And what of it is what I say. Okay, so the comments on this video, this first one says, I judge a shopping center by the quality of the husband's seats. That's kind of funny.

A little bit. I'm lost. I think it's like the quality of the seats outside the stores, like if they're comfy. to sit in. Yeah. I guess. I judge a shopping. Why are you going shopping then?

They act like they're being waterboarded when they have to go shopping. They have a time limit. They have a time limit. And when they get home, there's nothing. He's like, what would you be doing at home? Sitting? Yeah. What's the difference?

Same routine. You could sit right here. No shopping. I have like, my boyfriend when he comes shopping with me, he's a very active participant, which I enjoy. That's good. Yeah, he's like, I'm like, what do you think about this? He's like, that's nice.

I like that. Like he's very like involved. Okay. You think he's like involving himself to like hurry it up? No, sometimes though, if he starts getting like that, I'm like, you go somewhere else. Like I don't need you because then we're going to fight. I don't want to do that. Yeah, we don't need that.

Yeah, but that's hardly ever. If that's the case, it's like because he's hungry or like we've been there for a long time because shopping is draining. But I do feel like sometimes I think they're like, every man hates shopping. I'm like, some men love to shop. I love to shop. Yeah. I'm men. And you can speak on behalf of all men.

He said, I don't want to. He said, I will. You guys suck. Yeah. Okay, this next comment says, I don't understand why someone doesn't take advantage of the husbands at the mall and open a man shop with men's stuff to do. So I think it says so his woman can shop. Huh?

A man shop. A man shop. Is that like, like, like, what would be in the man shop? I'm not a man. So maybe I just don't know. Hats. Just like. What do they have in there?

Hammers. Tank tops. Cargo shorts. I'm thinking of like, man shop. What the fuck? Sandals. Sandals. Ban all men from showing their feet, honestly.

Yeah. That should be a lot. Those grippers. Damn. Put them dogs away. 2023. Make that your New Year's resolution to your feet to never see the sun. Different breed.

Yeah. Like when you, I think, have you ever seen those like memes when they're like me when I get home and it's like someone unzipping their skin suit and there's like a lizard inside? Yeah. That's how I feel about men's feet. Put them away. But I'm like, I'm different. You're talking about other men. Yeah.

They're like, I don't know. Like gnarled. Yeah. Yeah. Like a tree branch. I'm good. Yeah. I don't need to say that.

I take care of my foot. It's just the way they, it's the way they don't. Like, and these are like terrible like men. like straight men caught in the grips of toxic masculinity so like they don't groom yeah oh and then they have the nerve to show your dogs you got the bushes on the tips of the toes so now i have to be traumatized because you haven't unpacked your toxic masculinity that's not fair to me yeah i'm not going out no more i want to like i simply like want to like have that thing in men in black when they like flash it oh yeah you forget every time i see a man's toes against my will i want someone to use that on not even jesus or just chop my head off either one works you know what i mean Not even Jesus Not even Jesus with his sandals I'm pretty sure he was always cleaning

I'm sure he was I'm sure he was The man shop What else would be in a man shop Fantasy football I don't know What are things that are menly Yeah my

My boyfriend sometimes plays fantasy football That's the straightest thing about him I tell him that before I'm like that is the straightest thing about you Okay But he likes it because he likes to win Oh. Like he's just competitive So he's like this is a way I can win. I'm like, okay. Yeah. I guess. I know a lot of boyfriends that love football. So yeah. Do you like football? Oh, no. Dude, one of the funniest things my sister has ever told me to this day was like, because obviously like as women growing up in patriarchy, we've all been a pick me at some point. Yeah. And she was like one of the biggest releases that like unlearning being a pick me gave me was not having to pretend to like football. Oh, how so.

tired of it. She's like she's, it was like a bitch she was committing to pretending to care about football. I would probably pretend. If my boyfriend loved it, I'd probably pretend. I'm like for a while, but then if like, she pretended for a minute and she was like, oh man, pretending I cared about that was the most taxing thing. I was over it. Yeah, I'll be snacking. That's it. You do what you got do. It's cool. I mean, it's nice. It's not, you know what I mean? I just don't, I guess don't make it your whole personality. Yeah. You can love football just like, yeah, it's season. Yeah. God, we get it. Okay.

That's why fantasy football is literally cosplay. It's pretend. Oh my God. It is. That's why one of my episodes I talked about how it's like fan fiction. You're writing your own fan fiction at that point. Because you're like, you're like imagining if I was a general manager of a team, like, who would I pick? Yeah.

You go to sleep just dreaming about it. Yeah. It's literally fantasy. Yeah. Cosplay. We have more in common than you think. Yeah. Because we do love a fan.

Do you like fan? I like fanpiction. I like fan picture. Me too. I did. It had me in a grip when I was like high school college I would say. Wapad? Yeah. Well, also because I'm a colonial woman and I'm so old compared to everyone. They used to be really big on Tumblr. Oh, I remember. Like imagines. They were like before they were like the before they would have these graphic novels written on WAPAD. They used to have them in sections like part one or chapter one. And you'd have to scroll for like ever to get to the end of it. Yeah.

On Tumblr. Now you guys have evolved. Tumblr's still a thing? I don't know. I think it is. I think it's still like a live site. I would believe so. But that used to be how you got your spicy content.

Oh, yes. Now like since the birth of Wadden. I was such a spicy person. Yeah. Spicy kid. I remember my mom found my Tumblr and it was like two boys holding their hands. My mom was like, what is this? I'm like my mom, my friend made an account for me.

I swear. Do you get it. Okay. After that, no more Tumblr. Oh, man, got banished. But she's nicer now. That's good. She's nicer now.

That's good. Well, see, that's why. I feel like Tumblr was like a gateway for a lot of people. Now, Twitter. I know. Tumblr moved to Twitter. It gets crazy on there on Twitter. I barely go on it because I like like a post, a flower post, and then other spicy context.

So you barely go. on there. Sometimes I like, I used to think this back before I was like, anyone with a platform. But like in the past, sometimes I would think like, I think sometimes people don't know

that when you like stuff, it's other people can see it. Yeah. Like you're like, oh, so-and-so liked this. It's like Facebook. Yeah,

because some dudes I would follow, like from high school, they would like the craziest shit. And I would see and I'd be like, what the hell is this? I saw a lot of my old friends from school like a lot of stuff like whoa yeah you'd see and you're like and I would

think so I wonder if they know that I can see this I'm like you like this so in case you didn't know your likes are public on Twitter unless your thing is private your whole account has to be private and sometimes it'll show up on someone's timeline it'll literally be like

it'll be like Cota liked this yeah so be careful what you like on there unless you don't care I haven't liked anything since 2020 I think. Smart. Smart loud. Just look. And then I simply just don't like.

And if not, I have it in my search bar. Saved. Yeah. In my nights. There you go. Okay, this next comment, or this last one on this one says, men are only there to watch how much money she spends because if they weren't there, they will shop till they drop bars. Very good. The next Eminem.

That's like sound. Every time I read stuff like that, I'm always like, that's like a 15-year-old boy. Yeah. Like, you've never spoken to a woman in a way that would lend towards you knowing at all how they work or operate, especially within relationships. But how much money she spends. What if she's spending her own money? Yeah. Different cards.

That's not of your business. That's what I'm saying. Different critic store. Well, it's also, it's always like so misogynistic, but it's just assuming that women are just constantly spending the money of things. their male partner. Like he's with men. Yeah. And he's like, I have to be here to watch her. Watch her spend my money.

I'm going to spend it. Enjoy the view. That's what I'd say. I think a lot of times too, I've talked about this a little bit, I think, in the past. But it's very strange to me when men get mad when women are like spending all their money. Like what money first of all? But second of all, they're like, oh, she's just there to spend all his money. But isn't that what you wanted?

Yeah. Because you want someone who stays at home doesn't work and you provide for her, right? Yeah. So she's falling into her gender role and you're still unhappy? I know a lot of men that they're like, no, okay, fine. You can leave what you're studying for and you can, you know, just come and live with me. Yeah. And you can just spend my money. But when it spends the money, it's a problem. Well, or everything for you. Exactly. Or if women are like, I'm going to date someone with money. Like, I specifically date for money.

Yeah. Whenever they make that choice, they're even more mad because they're like, oh, gold digger. Yeah, it's her choice. Well, and also it's not your gold. So don't worry about who's digging on it. Like, girl, you have nothing. Don't worry about it. I've said that.

I've made that joke a million times because the men who make that joke or like have that very strong belief are poor. Like you don't have any money anyways. So like if you're concerned about women dating you for money. Their bank is restricted. Yeah. Like it's overdrawn. Yeah. It's insufficient funds. Yeah.

And they're like, oh, all these bitches want is money. And I'm like, well, you don't even have any, so don't worry about it. Yeah, not your money. You're safe. Don't worry. Yeah, you're safe. I don't need your money. I need your penny.

You can keep it. You need it more than I do. Put it in your piggy. Well, and the women who do do that are not looking at you. Yeah. They don't even know you exist. So don't worry about it. And a lot of times the men who do let, like, they enter consensual relationships with these women

who clearly just want to date them for money. It's like it's a two-way street. They're both getting something. Yeah. It's like reciprocal in that point. Because at that point they're like, yeah. And then it's like, it's none of your business. Yeah.

Like they know full well why that woman's there and they don't care. That's why I was like, you're not one of those rich men, so don't worry about it. Yeah, don't talk. Broke people should never laugh. That's one of those. Okay, let's move on to this next video. So this is a clip. from a mockumentary where men are being interviewed talking about how much they accomplished while they waited for their wives or girlfriends to finish shopping at Target.

One of them is like, I started putting carts away in the parking lot and Target hired me to work while my wife is inside. And another guy is like, I finished my degree sitting in the car in the parking lot. Good for you, I guess. I guess it's supposed to be like she took so long in there. It's like one of those. Oh. Thank God for Target. Am I right, fellas?

It's such a tired joke. Like, well, I guess while she's in there, I'll go write a whole novel. Moby Dick. You know what I mean? Like, it's hilarious. That's so funny. Also, Target is great. I'd argue there are lots of stores that I could be in for a long time.

Yeah. Home goods? Girl, don't get me started on home goods, bitch. I'd be in that store by myself for an hour and a half all day I'm in there getting pillows getting soap

dispensers, plants girl that's why I said that's my store what's your favorite store Dollar Tree I love dollar tree I love Dollar Tree

I love Dollar Tree they have so many things there they have a lot of things yeah I love going there especially for wrapping stuff because obviously they have such great deals

but they have like so many different options for like gift boxes bags, tissue paper. They're always in, like, with the season, they're like, okay, it's February, Valentine's Day.

Early, it's so good. Early. Not even like that. It's December, like, they already have the stuff there. Yeah. What's your favorite place to shop for clothes? For clothes?

Because I know that's probably the one thing Dollar Tree doesn't have, really. The thing is that I have, I always, either I go to Walmart or I go through things. Walmart has good stuff. Yeah, they really do. Yeah, they're stepping up their game.

They have some really good, like, like basics. Yeah. Like jeans, hoodies, t-shirts, that kind of stuff. Yeah,

I don't really have like a store in particular. That you love? Online shop more? Online. I feel that. Especially since the pandemic. Yeah.

Yeah, so you'd online shop a lot more. Yeah, I do. I feel that. What's your store? In person, I would say home goods. That's how I know I've been old.

But like your clothes and stuff? Oh, clothes. I don't know. Where do I shop for clothes, typically? I'm a hoarder, low-key. So, like, I have underwear from, like, middle school.

So, like, a lot of my clothes I've had for, like, 10 years. Me too. So sometimes people ask me, and I'm like, I don't have an answer because I don't remember where I got this, like, 10 years ago. Yeah, I got some of them have holes, but it's okay. Yeah. Some of my, like, boxers have holes, but it's okay. Like, I need AC sometimes.

I like a basic store, like, H&M. Zara. H&M. Right? Oh, is that the puffer? Yeah. Oh, love. It's in the women's section, but I still got it.

Love. I told this lady, I was like, it's like, it's like for women's. but I love it. They have great coats. H&M has great coats. Very good. Oh my God. So much.

So comfy. So high quality and they're affordable to an extent. And they also always have like a really good dupe of like a boot or a shoe that you're like eyeing. But they're super expensive. So they always have like the equivalent of it. I buy boots from there a lot like little booties or like black boots. But I got big calves girl. It's hard for me to buy boots.

Yeah. You know. I do think though for four. short ones? I do. I get a nice I love a little anklet. Oh, okay, yes. But I always feel like I have too many of those. And then when I try to get a tall one girl, my cab said, no ma'am.

Oh. No ma'am. How sad. Those are like so strong and powerful. They're so like, no. You know what's so funny? I forget, oh my gosh, I can't remember the name of the shoe store, but they sent me stuff. Never mind. I'm not going to tell that story until I remember the name of the shoe store. But I will say this. When I get older, I love to go home shopping a lot.

So like any sort of, even if it's not at home goods, like I love to shop for decor and stuff. Like when I moved into my new house for Christmas, bitch, I went off the rails by Christmas. Oh, thank you. Thank you. I got so much Christmas stuff. I just love to decorate and I love to host like a true Virgo. What's your sign? Gemini.

Love. I love Gemini. Everybody's like two-faced. That's true to an extent, I would say. I could probably one day. I don't know. Sometimes it's, I think like the two-face thing is not, it's not always like, you know, like you're fake. I think sometimes it's just like there's a face you show everyone and there's a face you only show certain people.

Yeah. That's how I see it sometimes. But I get along with Gemini's really well. Period. Slay. Yes. We knew that when we met in Florida. Yes.

That's how me and Conan met by the way. On that panel. We were like. Yeah, like. We were trying. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

You saw us at the panel at playlist? Yeah. What were your thoughts? I have thoughts, but what were your thoughts? A lot. Yeah, we had a traumatizing experience together. Yeah. It was a bonding experience, I was sorry.

It was a bonding. We had to, like, clutch our pearls. Yeah, we did. We really, you know what? We showed out, bitch. We showed up and showed out. And we left. And that's about it.

And that's all. Yeah. And that's all we did. Okay, let me get into the comments on this stupid target video. So this first one says, first mistake is holding their purse. If they held their purse, they would hurry because it would be more heavy

the more time. They can make sense, but... Huh? Wait, first mistake is holding me trying to decode it. If they held their purse, they would hurry because they were more heavy than more. I feel like he's confusing a purse with like a bag. Or like a cart. Oh. I think he's saying like, if men hold your purse while you shop,

you'll take longer because you're not holding as many things. Oh, okay. So... I get... That's not going to stop me. Yeah, girl. I could have a backpack on and I'd still be in there. I could have an army reservist backpack on and I'd still be shopping for an hour.

Also, I don't ask my boyfriend to hold my purse. A lot of times though, because I'm super into cross bodies right now because they're just so convenient. So a lot of times he wears my crossbody and just carries... I just put my wallet in there. He just wears it. How does it feel? Because before he'd be like, can you hold this? Can you hold this?

Can you hold this? And then when I got him his own crossbinding, he was like, wow, where have these been all my life? I'm all purses? They've been around for a long time. He just never thought to get one. So when I got him one, he was like, this is the best thing ever. Because now he doesn't have to, like, carry, like, a backpack or anything. Especially when we go to, like, Disneyland or Disney World.

Yeah. Like, we used to always carry a backpack. Or like a fanny pack. Yeah, see, now it's like a little fanny pack, which is easier because then you don't have something on your back. Yeah. Which is so funny because when we would go in the summer to, like, Disneyland, my boyfriend, would wear it and it's hot

bitch like hot as hell outside and I'd be like oh I can take a churn with the backpack and he'd be like no I have to wear it now and I'm like why and he's like he's all sweaty underneath it he's like I'm married to the backpack I can't take it off it's it's married to my it's soldered to my body at this point

I will not take it off to the Disney in Florida or yeah both I've been to both yeah we've been to Disneyland a million times but Disney World actually went for the first time right after playlist Oh, you love Disney? Yeah, I love Disney. I'm a Disney adult.

Loud and proud, I don't care what anybody says. Do you like Disney? I love Disney. I've never been to Disney World, but. Really? You live in Florida. You got to go. I live like an hour away.

You gotta go. I just don't have no one. I'm just like, I'm not going alone. Oh, yeah, don't go alone. But for sure, find another fellow Disney adult. If I lived there, I would go with you. When you come here, I'll go with you Disneyland. For sure.

Fun! You know, it's so funny. We went to Disney World for the first time. Literally last year, and right after, playlist. I did like a family vacate. We went over there. And I'd never been there before. Girl, planes, trains, and automobiles to get to anywhere. Oh. You have to take two trains, a bus, walk 10 miles. I'm like, girl, I'm not built for it. Everything for airports as well. I'm not built for it, bitch. I can't do it. I'm like, oh, I'm like, we're not there.

We need to change trains. I'm going to where am I New York? This is ridiculous. Literally. They're literally like, like, I remember our first like day. Our cousins were there. So they were like, oh you have to take take the train three stops switch once two more stops i'm like okay and my mom's trying to remember to tell us write it down yeah she was like i'm going to tell you the directions now because i'm going to forget as soon as we got on there we're like one two three then you have to walk in the heat how are you doing with the heat in florida i live in the forest so it's not as hot is it not as hot is it's not as hot but i have like trees around me so i'm which is nice i'm good i'm good I'm hidden.

Girl, when I was there, I was like, this is a sinful heat. Yes. And I'm built for the heat. I don't care about being hot, but girl. The humidity mixes with it and it's just like bad. It's unbearable. I was like, I cannot believe that people choose to live here. That's what I was thinking.

Yeah. Like in that, they just, and someone told me when I posted, I'm like, get less hot. Like, I love the people that I'm at there, but get less hot immediately in Florida. Do something about that. someone was like oh you should have come in the I don't know if it's in the winter or in the spring and she said like lizards fall out of the sky oh yeah now in Miami a lot of iguanas are falling down

what in the Jurassic world yeah what the hell is that the temperature drops they all like because you know the heat helps them everything yeah yeah yeah energy but then when it gets cold they like drop they're like paralyzed yeah horror movie you can be walking like in Miami and get hit by a lizard

kill me immediately Shoot me in the head. I don't want to be around when that happens. I'm so scared of like reptiles. You don't like reptiles? Girl, no. And if I saw lizard fall, I'm suing. The lizard and the city of Miami.

Are you out of your mind? It's fun to see them fall, though. It's like, oh, I wish it was me. You're like jealous. She's like, yeah, they just fall out of the sky. They can literally fall on your head. I'm all. What the fuck are you talking about?

You can't, like, stand around trees at all. Yeah, that's what she told. that is the apocalypse bitch that's like the end of I can't believe that's a normal thing and people are like oh yeah yeah this is lizard falling time okay or some of them just like this is the season when lizards fall huh there are people that collect them and put them in bins and they put them in either their garage or rooms and then they wait until like it's like hot okay you can go okay Eliza thornberry that's cute take take that journey alone I can't go I'm so scared of reptiles and fish Fish? And birds. Birds? What else? You should say, if I'm going. Everything that's not a mammal.

Well, that's not true. There are some mammals I'm terrified of, I'm sure. I just can't, I don't know, something. Are there any animals you're afraid of? Spiders. Oh, yeah. Spiders are pretty. I didn't mean pretty.

I meant pretty standard. That's what I was trying to say. Like a standard phobia. Yeah. Yeah. Like people. Now, something about lizards. Oh, just.

The way when I was a kid, like, okay, there's this like the, I don't know if like, not necessarily, I just don't trust them. I don't know what it is. Like, I feel like we have a mutual understanding that we don't trust each other and that's cool. But there was this exotic pet store. I forget the name of it, but I think it's in Orange County because that's where I was born and raised. And they had a Komoto dragon in there, but they let it walk around the store. And I think because it was raised in captivity, it's not like vicious to my knowledge but like i don't know much about it but i don't want any

beef with it but the minute i found out that thing was free roaming i was like drew's gone drew's going outside like when i was a kid because like they would bring them close to me and i would just freak out i don't know i don't know all peace i love but you must know something i feel that way about birds too oh oh for sure are you scared of birds I don't like I'm not scared of them I just like sometimes crows Oh crows bitch Crows are one of the smartest birds

Crows if you're ever mean to a crow It will remember your face If it sees you again it's on sight The crow will literally attack you That is a fact I did not know that Girl don't ever piss off a crow They got your number bitch

They literally have a photographic memory So they remember the people that hurt them I know they were smart I didn't know that word Girl They have vengeance in their blood I don't know what it is So that's why like

Revenge movies like crows are And I want no beef like I always think Like you know what Do you babe You do you I'm gonna do me Yeah keep on flying You stay over there I'm gonna stay over here

I'm gonna keep on walking That's why I always think when people Like go into places Where they're not welcome Yeah And there's animals and they're like Oh my god I can't believe I got attacked Yeah

What are you doing there bitch Step around the fence And like they keep on doing it I'm always think what are you doing there Get out of its enclosure. Get out of its habitat. I don't know. So, yeah, I've always been afraid of birds.

I don't know if that's like a personal thing. I've never been attacked by a bird. I just, like, don't like them. My mom's been attacked by a goose, though. Oh. My mom's been attacked by goose. She literally was, like, chased down by one. And then that was all the confirmation I needed that birds are evil.

Yeah. Was she trying to, like, feed it? No, she was just minding her business. Oh. She was trying to walk into a... She told me she was trying to walk. into a building and then it just ran up on her. And she was like, girl, get away from me.

Yeah. She was like, girl, get away from me. And then it kept like trying to bite her and then she threw her coffee on it and it didn't stop it. Just pissed it off. Poor coffee. Damn. She just ran away from it. And I was like, see, I feel like stories like that are too common.

Okay. That's why when I heard about the lizard falling, I was like, you will never see me in that season. I'll promise you that. I'll ever go to Miami. It happened to Miami. So don't go to Miami. And only in Miami? Yeah, because there's not much lizards in, um, like, you will never see.

anywhere else? Up for Florida. Probably Tampa. But, yeah. Oh, would you ever go to Florida again? Yeah, yeah.

Like, not during lizard falling season, but yeah. If I do go and one hits me, I swear to God, I'm just swinging on the next person that walks by me. I don't care who it is.

I think there was, when I was, I lived in Hawaii for a long time and they have lots of, well, they have lots of animals, but they have geckos that sneak into the house a lot.

Oh, no matter where you live, no matter how nice the house is, it's going to have geckos and there may be a roach or two. That's just like how it is. Yeah, it is what it is. But I remember the geckos, we have a peace treaty, I think. Yeah, we were good.

Yeah, okay, you get the spiders. Exactly, yeah, because my uncle would tell me too, like, don't kill those ones because they, or don't, like, do anything to them because they kill the bad bugs, like spiders and stuff. Yeah, the roaches too. A girl, a roach is so common in Hawaii and they're like those big ones and they fly. Yeah. So it's, and that's normal. I went to Puerto Rico a couple of weeks ago for, like, it's been five years.

And then I went to my grandma's kitchen. I just saw I'm back home. My uncle used to joke, he's like, they pay rent here, so that's why they're allowed to live here. They're just so common. In tropical places, like, they're super common. And I remember when I first lived in my very first dorm on college, like, on the campus, there was a big ass roach. And it just ran out And I was like

And I was terrified So I was like I had bug spray And I was like What should I do? So then I thought Okay I'm gonna spray it But I opened my door just in case

Right And so I sprayed it Girl I swear to God It turned around and looked at me And then it charged me And then I ran away And I ran outside And I was like

That's the roaches room now Yeah I burn it I don't care Room for me please I'll literally sleep out In the hallway I'm not sleeping

And then I saw it Leave my room And walk and go somewhere else And I was like, it said it was done with me And it took off Yeah, you have a lot of bad experiences Girl, I know And my uncle, when I told my uncle that story

Who was like born and raised in Hawaiian Samoa He goes, oh, you just made it mad When you did that, I go, I didn't know they had feelings How was I supposed to know? That's my room, girl, you don't live there Well, she was probably there before me So probably. That's on me.

Sisters, roommates Just the two of us Okay, let's see. say these next comments. Okay, this next one is this is an example as to why we don't need girlfriends. They spelled

the girlfriends wrong. Girlfriens. And especially not wives. That might be something else. Stay with the bros then. That might be something else. But I mean, I feel like, I'm trying to think if, like, I've ever been on a shopping

experience with, like, a straight man, like when they needed something. I mean, I've taken my boyfriend when he needs to shop, but like, I don't know if that counts. I'm just trying to remember the experience of shopping with men. I feel like when they shop, it's like they just appeared in the store and they don't know why they're there. They're like, I just, I think I need this.

Yeah, they have no plan. You know how like when you go to the store, you're like, this is what I need, this, this and this. It's like they woke up from a coma and they're in the store and they're like, what did I need? I think I need this. And I know that too because when I, my sister and I first started driving, my dad would be like, hey, go to the store and grab some stuff for me.

And he would give me four things. It's like four random groceries. I'm like, okay, I buy all four. I come home. He goes, did you get this? Something that wasn't on the list. And I go, no. How would I have known?

Why I need you to go back? And that would drive me nuts. I'm like, give me one comprehensive list. Stop sending me to the store 50 times. Yeah, that's what my dad would do. But I'm out of parts. I'm like, I can't do this. I'm okay.

I can not deal with these. people. Oh my god the car like the auto shop or whatever auto zone valvilline. I still don't know like the whole words like neither do I and you know what I don't care to know I don't want to know they send me a picture that's like when I talk to like the men in those stores about like stuff for the car yeah that's when I feel like like my my brain feels like what misogynist deem women to be like stupid and like they just don't know anything that's when you really that's how I feel in those stores I feel like my brain feels like like I fall into that stereotype in those stores and it makes me angry, which is probably why I refuse to learn at this point. It's like a principal at this point. I'm like, I'm not learning. You tell me.

Yeah. And even then, I'll still call my dad and ask him, does this sound right? He's like, he'll scream at me, but it's okay. Yeah, my dad would pump my gas when I was younger. Yeah. That's just because I was a 17 year old girl driving alone. Like, my dad would take my car and put gas in it for me because he didn't want me to go by myself. Yeah. Which is a safety thing. that's on Metic's, she's being spoiled. That's because y'all are dangerous. That's why my dad would do that. A couple months ago, I found out what petroleum and, like, diesel.

What the difference is? Yeah, that's different. What is it? No, like, they're different. It's just different. What is, like, for, I guess. Just that they are different. One is, like, for trucks.

Yeah, like, diesel's for different kinds of cars. Yeah, exactly. Because I tried. I'm like, big car, take diesel. Big car? Yeah. That's how I. I thought it was.

You know what? When I would pump gas, you know how like you, if you just swipe your card? Like, if you're not putting a certain limit, like you don't give them a 20 or something, you just swipe your card and then you pump.

And then when it fills, it clicks, right? I used to think that like when I would take it out and I would like press it a little bit more, I used to think that was me stealing free gas. I dead ass would think like, this would be cheating in the system.

I'm not like getting too, but like, no, but I'm clicking it and I'm spending more money. And in my head, I'm like, This is me stealing. Fuck capitalism.

Fuck. Take that capitalism. Me thinking of me being so performative. Take that. Right? Even though I was like, they're like, girl. They're like, thanks for the extra 15. Yeah.

They're like, thanks stupid. Oh my God. The way I told my sister that, I just confessed that to her like maybe last year. Oh. I was like, I used to think that. I was like doing something. I'm like, they don't know that I know. that I know this.

I think anything when I well my first card that I ever like bought myself was a Prius because I was like ooh hybrid and like the way that the oil change things would go off sometimes I'd be like that that sounds like a suggestion I haven't changed my stuff at all yeah you don't you haven't changed it at all no my dad I think does your dad takes it yeah or does he change it for you I think he does it for me. Oh, that's nice.

That's super nice. Oh, my God, girl, one time I had to jump my car. And I don't know if you know this, but like Prius is the batteries in the back. It's in the trunk, which I only found out because I had to Google it. Wait, you have batteries? Oh, yeah. Like a car battery. I'm like thinking about a regular battery.

Oh, like a double A? Yeah. Like a Dursal. Yeah. It's in the trunk, which I only found out because I had to look it up. because it's usually on front. Yeah. And then they, like, someone's like, oh, where's your battery?

And I'm like, girl, I don't know. So then I had to, like, look it up. And I'm like, oh, it says it's back here. And I would, thank God for the internet. No, we love it. Otherwise, I'm just a big idiot when it comes to cars. I don't care. That's how I know.

I don't need to know. I know most things, not much. It's more because my dad was like, good. Okay, dad. I don't know anything. And that's okay with me, honestly. What just be cute. We all have our strengths.

Yum. Oh, also, this is another thing about the car. Do you like, do you love to drive or do you like to sit there? I love to drive. Really? Yeah. I love that for you. I don't love to drive.

I always, it's so funny because like my whole family. I think it's because all of us drove a lot. Like, when I worked at the NFL, I lived two and a half hours away. Like, so I would drive two and a half hours one way. Okay. And then I mean, I love to drive when it's like for fun. For funsies. Yeah.

Well, I think that's what ruined driving. for me. Same thing with my whole family. We've all driven a lot for work and stuff when we worked 9 to 5, so none of us like to drive. But my boyfriend and his whole family, they love to drive. Oh, that's good. Yeah, so I'm like, Passenger Princess,

bitch. I'm sitting in the passenger scene, I don't care who knows it. You did that. I'm saying that he always drives. When we go to Vegas, he'll drive the hallway. He prefers to drive. For everyone's like, you're making him. He prefers to drive. And I prefer to sit. So there you go.

I prefer to sit and eat snacks. That's what I prefer to do. Yeah. So there you go. And then I just tell them about things like, I just talk to them the whole time. Yeah, it's good. Right? We all have our strengths once again.

Okay, this last one on here. Oh, here it is. This last comment says, yep, this is me shopping with my girlfriend. And then she complains when we go to Cabellas. What is Cabellas? I don't know. Does anyone know what Cabellas? The store that races spawn out of

Like Fortnite They just like Z come out of there I I guess section Wait you said Bass Pro Shop Is it Bass Pro Shop? Is it Bass Pro Shop? Okay Bass Pro

I always say base pro shop for some reason Like I can't read Oh Guns Now we're talking Yeah I just started watching Doug Dynasty So that Dude Cabella

Okay so we've since found out that Cabela's is an equivalent to Bass Pro Shop plus guns. Oh, is that like the one with the bass that they have the hat? Yeah, girl. It's a whole store. Wait, Cabela's the one that has like lots of

nature shit inside of it. It's like whole forest. There's a lot of boys that... Yes, yes. Okay, I do know what Cabela's is now. A lot of boys make that store their personality. I know. Killing animals. Can you imagine?

I've killed animals. You walk in early. Yeah. I've had to. I love them guns. That's another thing that I'm like I don't care that I don't know about that Guns

Do you need that? I know that's what I'm like I don't need that info for what You know what I mean? My girlfriend complains when we go to Cabellas Probably because it sucks Probably Probably because it sucks

Yeah like why doesn't she go to Target And you go to Cabellas Yeah He's probably like no we just have to pass through here first And she's like damn Well then I think what are you doing in there Are you buying guns all the time Like do you shop there so frequently?

Yeah, you shop there so frequently that she complains often. Yeah. What are you buying there? She's just looking. An outfit for a wedding? That's why I'm like, you go to, okay, she goes to Target, you go to Cabellas, then break up. Yeah. And I'm sure there's going to be some people that are like, I love that store.

Like, I'm a girl and I love that store. That's the one for him, I guess. Okay, then find a new girlfriend. Also, I think those kinds of stores, too. have been, they've become like a thing for them to counter. It's not even really that they love shopping there. It's just like they're, they just don't want to go to Target.

So they're like, well, when I want to go to Cabellas, you have all these problems. What are you going to do at Cabela? Nothing. I can't afford a gun there. You know that. Why would you bring that up? He's like, see, and I knew it was about me not having a job.

It like turns into a different argument. You always bring that up. Yeah. It's probably because my mom died, isn't it? Oh. It's just like all over. Like, it just that I bet you anything. It keeps going.

It just starts over and over and over again. I can't think of a worst store, honestly. What's the worst store you can think of? I think like a hunting store for sure would be up there for me. A hunting store? Yeah. I was going to say like a sporting goods store, but I actually kind of like those stores. Yeah.

Just because they're good to buy like, I don't know. Like when I went to the snow, I went to like Dix's sporting goods and I bought stuff for the snow. Dix is awesome. That's a great store. And not to stereotype, but it's a stereotype, but it's, It's a great store to get gifts for like uncles. Yes. Dads.

You know what I mean? A lot of older people. Yeah, I bought a couple Yeti coolers for Christmas this year for some men in my family, which they loved. And you can get those at Dix. You don't have to go to Cabela's. We love it. Yeah. Okay, so just to wrap this up, what are your final thoughts on shopping or people who want to shop or maybe feel embarrassed that they like to shop?

Honestly, I don't really care. And you shouldn't either. No, I just go shopping wherever I'm comfortable with. Yeah. I don't really care. I go to a lot of women's stores and I just, a lot of women do like the ones that work there, they look at me. I'm like, yeah, I just like shopping here.

And they don't make it a big deal though. Yeah, I love that. That's the good thing. I've never run into like someone that makes it a big deal. I think that's such a good point to make and to talk about too because I feel like sometimes I think, I was just talking my boyfriend about this actually the other day, that, like, toxic masculinity has, like, deprived some men of, like, the ability to really showcase, like, their style, what they like to wear, like, when it comes to shopping, because they're, like, so afraid of shopping in certain stores or they, like, feel nervous about it or whatever. And I think the further you unpack that, the easier it'll be to, like, access, like, your true self-expression, whatever it looks like. Exactly. Right? It's, it's just, like, so, it's how comfortable you feel though. Yeah. And it's the best feeling. Just clothes that will

fit you, do good to you. And make you feel good. Make you feel cute. Make you feel cute. Good and baddy. Love that. Okay. Thank you so much to Cota for coming on my show. Oh my God. I adore you.
