The following podcast is a Dear Media production. She's a lifestyle blogger extraordinaire. Fantastic. And he's a serial entrepreneur. A very smart cookie. And now Lauren Everts and Michael Bostic are bringing you along for the ride. Get ready for some major realness. Welcome to The Skinny Confidential, him and her.

Aha! For somebody just starting out, they're starting out in a time where it is oversaturated on social media right now. And there's a lot of the same content. I would say Instagram, you want to post your best videos on there. And also content that'll help elevate your career and which is like a good look for you, you know? This sounds so cliche, but if they're unique to themselves and they love what they're doing, it will translate and it'll do well. Hello. Today, we are joined by Hannah Stocking. Stocking is a major internet personality. You've

probably seen her. She has 8 million subscribers on YouTube, 23 million followers on Instagram, and 27 million followers on TikTok. But that's not really why I wanted to have her on. I wanted to have her on because she is so multifaceted. And she shows that in this podcast. She's super well-rounded. We talk all about what she learned from her godmother, Jane Goodall, the rise and fall of Vine, how she went from a weird kid, those are her words, to a social media star, her exact creative process, content strategy, what creators are like behind the scenes. And of course, you know I had to ask her about her skincare routine and

her beauty routine. She's absolutely stunning in person and on social media. Anyway, I think you'll like this interview. It's weird. It goes all over the place. It has a real rawness to it. So on that note, let's welcome social media star Hannah Stocking to the Skinny Confidential Him and Her Show. This is The Skinny Confidential Him and Her. Let's kick it off. Okay. Do I just take my jacket off too? I'm debating. Let's see where this goes.

You can take your jacket off. It's going to get hot and sweaty in here. Okay, cool, cool, cool. Be pram. You can take your shirt off. I think the HR office is like right next door to me. I put it there. Taylor, are you ready?

Yes. Yes, I am. Taylor, are you ready? Yes. Yes, I am. What are your animal sex facts? Oh, man. Where do you want to start? And how much time do we have? I mean, listen, for this topic, we might have to extend. Who knows?

I read this book called Zubiquity by Dr. Natterson Horowitz. And there's a chapter in there called Roorgasm. And I've always been really into science. Obviously, I have a background in science. I have a pre-med degree. And also animals. My godmother's Jane Goodall. And so I would always go on like book tours with her as like a little one.

And so always into that. So pretty much like I kind of was so into this thought because when I was studying biology, like the main thing that they teach is animals' sole purpose in life is to survive and reproduce. It's not like they have other sexual wants and needs. Sounds fun. And you don't think that like daddy long legs spiders masturbate. They lay on their back and they put their little swindle around their legs and around their genitalia and swivel their legs. And then they ejaculate from that. Mallard. Wait, hold on.

If I see a daddy long legs sitting in the corner of my room, he could be over there jerking off? Yes. Is that why there's so many of them all the time? Because I feel like you can't get rid of them. Yeah, and why are so many of them always in the corner in your room? In the corner watching and beating off. Wait, I never thought a daddy long leg is masturbating. Yeah, I know.

That's an interesting thought. I have to let that sink in. They should call them daddy long dicks. Yeah. Also, mallard ducks and toads engage in necrophilia. Japanese macarades have lesbian mountings.

Bonobo monkeys go penis-swerting. Like, they swerve with their penises. Dolphins have blowhole sex. Krill have orgies in the dark depths of the ocean.

Wait, what is blowhole sex? We gotta... Yeah, use your imagination. I don't what is blowhole sex sex is what's blowhole well they have the blowhole on the back you know so they're sticking the dick in the hole yeah like a beluga what like belugas have that hole yeah yeah yeah so do the dolphins is that how they get pregnant or is that like face fucking dolphins yeah it's like getting how how does one have this information like so Oh, the dolphins. Is that how they get pregnant? Or is that like face fucking dolphins? Yeah, it's like getting. How does one have this information? Like, so. I mean, I was going through the brief. I'm like, I wonder what we should talk about today.

And this is honestly not where I thought we were starting. But I'm glad we're here. I love it. I mean, keep going. Krill. We're getting to krill. I didn't. Yeah.

Krill have orgies in the dark depths of the ocean also there's this marine iguana in the galapagos islands that they normally take about three minutes to ejaculate and so when they mount on the female marine iguana the bigger marine iguanas push the little guys off before they are able to ejaculate in the female and be able to reproduce. So they've adapted over time to masturbate. And then they get their little semen and they put it in a little pouch. So then when they mount the female marine iguana, they do a couple pumps in, take the semen out of their pouch, put it in the girl all before they get pushed off by the bigger one.

Hannah, are you describing Taylor? Don't stick your hand in my pocket. This is how I met Taylor. Taylor, just like a little, since you're describing animals that have sex, Taylor... I might be part marine iguana.

Taylor had a little problem that we've talked about a lot on this podcast, but basically he couldn't last longer. Basically the marine iguanas were lasting three times more than Taylor. Right. Taylor couldn't only last like 10 seconds. Oh really? Yeah but not anymore though but there was a period of time

where I was like basically like I was apologizing before sex even began or I was like sorry. No way. Wait so why you guys if you guys talked about it we could just go over to the next topic. Let's go anywhere. But what was happening? What was his problem?

I don't know. Oh, Taylor. Oh, you thought it was me. Yeah, it was you. Well, listen, I have my own set of issues. I didn't marry him. I'm sorry, Taylor, but I can't marry someone who's lasting 30 seconds. I have my own set of issues.

But do you feel proud of him? You know what, Hannah? I was wondering why you were looking at me with a look of disappointment. Yeah, he was looking at me. I thought I was confused. I was my own set of issues. But do you feel proud of him? You know what, Hannah? I was wondering why you were looking at me with a look of disappointment. Yeah, he was looking at me. I was confused. I was like, what's going on? I was wondering.

No, Taylor is back there. She's like, no wonder this guy has these tattoos. Taylor, our producer, had an issue. And what I think it's from, this is my own theory, is that he was watching porn like 400 times a day. And because he was coming all the time like basically all day long when he would actually do it with a girl it was like oh that's so interesting because i would

think that would be the opposite i wouldn't want to think like you do it so often that's what i was thinking but then but what worked was edging are there anything anybody in the animal kingdoms that they it kind of sounds like that he won't want it because he beats off and puts it in a pocket for later. Yeah. So that's kind of what edging is like, except for you don't do that part. Yeah. A little twist here.

Your godmom was Jane Goodall. How does one get that godmother? Yeah. So. Is it a blood relation? No. No. Okay.

My father created, when I i was younger created something called endangered species chocolate factory okay and a really large percentage i think like i don't know maybe 90 of his proceeds went to the jane goodall institute that's her charity organization and so she was like oh like where are all these profits coming from i want to meet him and his family and then we all just got really close and now she's's, yeah, she's my godmom. So were you said you would go with her when she was doing all her stuff with primates? No, not with primates. I was involved in her Roots and Shoots organization. It's another charity. And then also I would like go on book tours with her and stuff. So when you're with her and you're this little, did you think and did other people think that you were destined for this huge stardom?

No, no, no, no, no, no. Not at all? No. Were you shy? Oh, yeah. I mean, I was shy. I didn't really know what was going on. They'd like bring me on stage. They were like, oh, let's have the little one come on and introduce herself. And I'd be like, hi, I'm Hannah. And then get all like nervous and walk away.

So yeah, I mean, there's no comedy. Like when you look back on your childhood, like not. Oh, there was. There was. I was always the weird kid. I mean, I'm tall. I'm like, I'm a big bitch. You know, I'm like 5'10". And I was also a lot skinnier.

I was 90 pounds. And so just this weird gangly kid. But without like army crawl to class and eat lunch up in the trees and like sometimes like hiss at people. Like that was weird. That's amazing. And so I wasn't like the popular kid, but I wanted to be popular. And so the popular kids would be like, oh, like here's Hannah, come over here, make us

laugh, do something. And so then I became like more animated just to make people laugh, to like me and get some sort of attention and validation. And it kind of just started from there. At what point did you realize that you could not just monetize, but really get into this as like a full time gig? And I mean, like when you were really little, not when you started to make money on social. Well, when I was really little, social media didn't exist, except for my space. And I mean, I'm from a small town and it like it wasn't known to me or anybody around me that social media could be profitable and could be a business venture at all. And also when I first started to when I was on Vine, I was like, oh. That's where you started, right? Yeah, on Vine. Okay.

And sure, there was some OG YouTubers, but I wasn't sure about the money they were making or how much and how lucrative it was. And, I mean, I would make like $300 a brand deal when I first started on Vine. That was a lot of money. And then I was just, this is crazy. And then it just kept escalating. And I didn't know the longevity of it. I didn't know if it was even going to last. Because I think like it all just started blowing up right when I got into it.

But you know what? Now that I'm like an old guy, I'm going back in my brain. When I think of you and some of the other people you were creating with, I feel like you guys were some of the first people to crack like mass collaboration across multiple individual channels. And you'd like be like, oh, those people are always doing things together. How does that start to happen? Because before that, I think that a lot of these creators, it was like more individuals like, hey, we're not collaborating at all. We're not featuring on our platform. You guys kind of figured out how to do that. Yeah. I mean, I think that all kind of stemmed from King Batch and Daystorm Power and all of their comedian friends. So they were already

collabing and binding. And I think King Batch had like a million followers at the time. I was still in college. I was at the gym. And then they're like, hey, like, want to come out and bind with us? And I just I think I was thrown into that crew hold on you're at college you're in the gym you're like working out yeah in LA and I went to college in the Bay Area I'm from Oregon and my family just moved to LA so I had no friends I played volleyball in college so I would always work out at the gym I had no friends I was you know friends with my animals and they were like the first ones to approach me that weren't trying to hit on me, you know? And so I was like, oh, great. Like friends, I'll do anything, you know? So they come up to you and they say, hey, you want to be on Vine with us?

Yeah. Do you want to shoot a Vine with us? And I'm like, what? That's so weird. I thought Vines were just taking a video of your cat. Like, why would you schedule to Vine? I thought that was the weirdest thing, but I just wanted people to hang out with. And they're comedians too. They're so fun and funny to hang out with that it was a no-brainer. So what's the first thing that they put you in?

I think it was Batch. There was a car that drove by and then they were like, hey, let me get your number. And then Batch jumped on the car, did a backflip, kind of fell. And then he was like, what the backfl get your number. And then Badge jumped on the car, did a backflip, kind of fell, and then he was like,

what the backflip though? And I was just standing there. That's amazing. I feel like we need to bring that back. What the hell happened to Vine? The whole thing just kind of crumbled? The whole thing crumbled, yeah. It just went away.

That's okay though because it evolved platforms and I mean, it's worked out okay. For a while, they were just, I mean, I don't know, Elon's doing a lot of wild stuff right now on Twitter, but they're like, hey, I think Elon's going to bring Vine back. I know. How do you feel about that? I mean it's worked out it's worked out okay. For a while they were just I mean I don't know Elon's doing a lot of wild stuff

right now on Twitter but they're like hey I think Elon's gonna bring Vine back. I know. How do you feel about that? I mean Bring it back. Or you don't think

it would work anymore? It would be really interesting if they did bring Vine back. I mean I would obviously go on it but I think like right now for creators there's so many platforms already that I already feel like I'm drowning in it

all the time that another platform added on to that would be insanity but I mean I'd try it out and see how it is I think like there's because I really like how the platforms now are helping you monetize and having your content be profitable. And so I feel like if for that to work, if they were to give us some sort of money, that would be great and help a lot of creators get on the platform. If Vine relaunches and it comes out, you have to film the same video that you launched with again. You guys have to redo it. Recreate it in the same exact spot. Whipple Street, North Hollywood. A hundred percent. That would be iconic. Yeah. Yes. So after Vine, you had obviously made it big. How did you handle that pivot? Was that depressing to have

all of a sudden it's gone or had you already built a following on other platforms? So you were like, who the fuck cares? I think my story is a little different because my goal wasn't to get a lot of followers. It wasn't to do social media full time. It was actually be a doctor. So after I graduated from college, I needed the year off because I double majored in biology and chemistry. I did embryonic stem cell research and I was playing volleyball that I didn't have a social life at all. I was completely depleted. So I needed a year off to study for the MCAT. And in that year, I was obviously like when I wasn't studying, I was hanging out with my vine friends and shooting vines. And so I kind of just

said to myself, once I make enough money to pay for medical school, I'm going to go to medical school. And then I made that in like a couple of months. I was like, wow, this is great. And then it just kept escalating and escalating. And then I kind of just took the chance to take more years off. Now I've taken about nine years off from going to medical school. And here I am. So you've always been, and I mean, this is a compliment, like a science medical nerd. You're into this stuff. And that was, and that, and still to this day,

you're like, now that you've had this career, is there not an interest anymore? Oh, there's definitely, there's definitely an interest. I'm always looking up random things. I mean, yesterday I was looking up how you could wash your brain with your breathing. What? Did you know that? What? Yeah. know that? What? Yeah, if you do like yogi breaths, you actually wash your brain as well as when you're in REM sleep. Your cerebral spinal fluid washes out everything in your brain pretty much when you're breathing.

But I know when you're sleeping in REM sleep, it washes out your brain as well, but also amyloid beta. And when there's an excess of amyloid beta in your brain, that creates a lot of like mental ailments. So it's good to get sleep and do good breathing exercises. Like Wim Hof breath work would wash your brain. I don't know about Wim Hof, but probably. I know that yogi breath.

That's just what I was reading last night. But yeah, I'm always like i love learning and and knowing how things work and why well you know i was saying before we started that i think we have a mutual friend and i knew you were into this stuff and i don't know if this is exactly how we got connected here today but our friend dr craig conover i know oh my god you know conover i love conover i was just texting him So now we can nerd out, right? Yeah. Yeah, he's been on here twice in his life as well.

He's awesome. He's our doctor. And he's just like... He's everything. Have you done the NAD? No, but I've... Oh, actually, yeah, I have. What did you think?

Rough on the tummy? Not on the tummy. You know what it was? When I did it, I gave myself the own shot for the NAD. The IV? No, it wasn't IV. No, he sent me the shot. And then I did it myself. And like in two days

I was filming iCarly. And so I don't know if I was like stressed about that and thinking like, oh my God, do I have COVID? Can I not shoot? Is it the NAD? And I was freaking out. So I don't know. I just never took it again. But I don't know if that was it. Michael loves it, but I'm too scared Is it the NAD? And I was freaking out. So I don't know. I just never took it again. But I don't know if that was it. Michael loves it, but I'm too scared for it to hurt my stomach.

I've done all this stuff with him. The peptides, NAD. Do you still do the peptides? I stopped because I did them for a little while. I did one for like the brain. I did one for strength. And then I just like, I'm just taking a break for a minute. But I liked it when I did it.

And I felt like the brain one especially, I needed like a pick me up. I tried his fat loss peptides. I really liked them. I mean, I had a good experience. What do you think? I do the glow and strength. The glow. I see Whitney Cummings does that too.

Whitney, yeah, she's the one who introduced me. Okay, so it sounds like the glow across the board is the good one. Say it again? It sounds like the glow is the good one. That's a skin one. I need to try the skin one. Skin one. But he's, Conover's got his little Rolodex.

Who else you got there? What's some of these other people, these high performers on our show? He does have high performers. He works with high performing people. Well, he's interested, I think, in people that like kind of want to go beyond just the basic medical care, right? Yeah. He's like, okay, like what's the next thing you can do? Have you ever nerded out with Dr. Conover?

You know, I actually just met him at Whitney Cummings' house, and then we got connected. So I've never really sat with him one-on-one on like a podcast and really was able to get into his brain, which I would love to do. But I text him all the time. I just texted him a couple days ago. I was like, hey, what's better to sleep in cold environments or hot environments and why? I asked him like weird things. What did he say? He said cold.

And then I said why? And then he didn't text me back. Dr. Conover. I know, what the heck? He's so interesting. He is. So is there a part of you now with the huge career that you have that you look at it and you're like, I kind of want to go back to medical school or is there no part?

You know, I just I love what I do so much. And I really love making people laugh. I think that we live in a world where, I mean, even in not even on social media, even in real life and on social media, there's so much it just flooded with so much negativity that I just I want to at least try to help in some way to loosen it up a little bit, brighten up people's lives and make them crack a smile at least. So I really I really love that. I think I also love helping people, but I like being able to do something new every single day instead of staying in the library for eight hours a day. Yeah, you know, that makes total sense. Yeah. How do you deal having such a big platform with all these comments? And I'm even talking about the positive ones, too,

because it's a lot to read all these comments. It's overwhelming, I would think. I'm sure there's a lot of amazing comments, but I'm sure there's a lot of hateful comments. You're the perfect person to ask. Do you even read the comments? Sometimes. When I was first starting, of course, I was reading all of them because it was so new

and exciting and I want to know what everybody's saying about me. I want, you know, validation. And then you get to that one negative one and it ruins your day for a week. And I think that I've been in the game for so long. It's been like 10 years now. Sometimes I don't even read the comments. I mean, I've been in the game for so long. It's been like 10 years now. Sometimes I don't even read the comments. I mean, I'll check it for the first 10 minutes and see if people are liking it,

if I need to delete it or not, if it's a heater or deleter. What's a deleter? If it just like is not landing well? Yeah, if it's not performing well, as well as it would. So you just bail on it. You don't just leave it up.

You just feel like that sucks. Yeah, just archive it or repost it. But yeah, if people are saying like, oh, this is whack or whatever they're saying, then yeah, I mean, I'll listen. I'll listen to them. I'll take the constructive criticism. But for the most part, no, I don't. I don't.

I should have consulted. I got a lot of deleters, I think, on my account. I think I got a lot of ones that I got to bail on. When they say delete or when you get criticism, what is the criticism that you usually get for the content? I'm just curious. It's probably like, oh, this isn't funny. Women shouldn't do comedy.

You're ugly. You know. But for those kind of comments where they're kind of just, like there's no substance to that comment. It's just like, you know what I mean? Yeah. For example, people will write in sometimes be like your voice sucks you're annoying it's okay like i can't do anything with that i can't change this but if it's a it's a piece like

hey you interrupted or like i didn't like that topic i can maybe think about that but for the other stuff do you like what do you do with that even just swipe right click the red delete and then bada boom badaada bing, I'm out of here. Clinique to me is so nostalgic. It just represents high school because I used to wear their perfume and they are always evolving. It's so crazy to me because right now they have this new product. It's called Clinique Moisture Surge 100 Hour. And this is the move if you're feeling dehydrated. I know this because I went to one of the driest places, Las Vegas, and I tried this and it was incredible for hydration. Many things in life

I just got back from Vegas and I brought like a bloat kit, especially to Vegas. You need a bloat kit. I brought my ice roller. I ordered ice from room service and stuck it in there. I did the cold

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

which is so good. But immediately after I took my array, I'm obsessed with this because it's laxative free. So it's not going to make you run to the bathroom.

Well, actually, it depends on the platform. Doesn't matter the day, but I post the same time on YouTube and I post a different time on Instagram. and TikTok's a little bit more lenient. YouTube shorts I post before one, no later. And then Snapchat is throughout the day, real time or I'll bulk shoot and then. What is your strategy behind all this? Meaning like do you like is Monday is like your conference call day and like then on Tuesdays you are editing YouTube's. Is there a strategy behind it or you just wake up and do whatever you feel like? I wish it was. Yeah, I wish I wish I was more organized. It's kind of like gunshot wake up. Oh, no, I'm late. It's like somebody's

already at my house ready to shoot. But I forgot I have this conference and then I need a post and then I forgot I had edit and then I have to text this guy like it's always just chaotic all the time Lauren you know she was tattooing people at one point I still am you still are I tattooed half my family for Christmas can you tattoo my name on his ass I actually I kind of want yes dear on your butt well I can't see it so then I just will never it's still who cares cares? Let her tattoo your ass. Yeah, but I'm saying if your intention...

I've tattooed Darth Vader on my friend's butt before. Come on! Like, what do you rank yourself now? I mean, I know you were doing it for... I haven't seen it in a while, so have you improved? Oh, I've improved, yeah.

Where's your level at here? I can't do shading or color. I have. Okay. It doesn't look pretty. But I am really confident in my stencil work. It's so good. And I'm fast and efficient. I could easily do it. I could go, I could literally go,

I could fire up the barrel. Five minutes. How does one stumble into this? It was lockdown. Lockdown. So you just like lockdown. I need to figure this out. I'm going to go buy a tattoo gun and I'm going to start tattooing all my friends. Yeah, on Amazon. I found a tattoo gun on Amazon. 20 bucks. I started begging my dad, can I please tattoo you? No, get out of my room.

And then I started tattooing myself, my toes. You know how people have arm sleeves? I want socks on my feet. Like I just want to blast my feet. That's what I started doing. Started tattooing myself a lot. And then I bought my house. And then I started having sex with them.

And are these light tattoos that are fading off? Or are these like you're tattooed now? Yeah, permanent. Yeah. They're in there. They're like these. They're dark. They're in there.

Yeah. There's a lot of them too. A lot of random ones. You just randomly, like one day you're sitting bored. Like I'm going to just tattoo. So the whole thing. Yeah. And then it got to the point where like,

I'm like, oh, I got everything I wanted. I'll just spin the wheel and then whatever I land on Landed on a tadpole got that tatted. It looks like a sperm, but I call it a tadpole Taylor would love one of those. Oh, yeah, what's your first represents rebirth? You know, I don't have any tattoos But I'm thinking about it. Listen, we found someone for you. Taylor wants a tattoo on his penis Saying what? I don't know if the word what would fit on that three seconds okay so what with everything that you have going on i'm sure i feel like there's a

lot of behind the scenes with the creators what is the politics and the landscape of that like the behind the scenes yeah are people only friends with people on certain platforms? Is there cattiness? Is it like high school or is it just chill? I think I've really lucked out with my friend group. We're all really like minded, driven, chill, cool friends. We keep a good friendship and business friendship. I have heard stories of other social media people being really catty, you know, hearing what they say in private and lashing it out on podcasts. And there's no like loyalty and things like that. And I would say just the behind the scenes for me and all my friends, it's kind of like, all right, guys, you guys got any ideas? Because right now I got nothing. Like,

please help me out. And then we're just like picking our brains and always just trying to come up with concepts or joking and I don't I don't know it's like we never really we have heart to hearts but normally it's 90% joking around do you find it hard maybe to make new friends because you guys have built such incredible platforms then people come in maybe other aspiring creators like oh maybe I can get in the group and then I'm going to get featured and like maybe maybe some inauthentic personalities

start to pop up there's gotta be some inauthentic personalities oh yeah some weird ones always come into the bunch yeah a lot of weird ones

and are you guys like you could see it early on and is that a problem where you're like I get it and I appreciate the hustle and like or like how do you feel about it Because I feel like you probably at this point

in your career want to continue to raise people up, but at the same time, you're like, yo, if you're just here for that. For me, I can tell pretty soon somebody's intentions and then I just kind of keep them at an arm's distance. But if somebody comes to me and they really want to learn and they're really genuine, of course, I'll help them. And they're funny and I'm helping them and they're helping me punch up my ideas and stuff like that. I love that. And it doesn't matter how many followers they have or what status they're at. If they're great to be around and great energy, I don't mind that at all. When you guys think up these funny concepts, there's so many funny concepts on your Instagram.

That's got to take a lot of strategy and planning, right? Or no? I mean, you're not just doing it on a whim. No. So what does that look like? What's the brainstorm? Are you getting together? Is it on the phone?

Is it on Zoom? I want to know the process. I'm interested in that. For example, I'll tell you like what I recently just went through. I was in a vacation for New Year's. It's hard for me to take time off if I'm not working. And so I just started thinking of ideas. They're kind of rough.

They're not really planned out. I don't really have the punch. I just have the general idea. And so I just write them out in my notes. And then I call somebody who I think would't really have the punch. I just have the general idea. And so I just write them out in my notes. And then I call somebody who I think would be great in the video. And I see what they think about it. And then we meet and then we act it out. And then we're like, OK, great, let's do this. And then we have our assistants grab all the props. And then we kind of organize our time and where we're shooting it and how long it'll take. It's like a full

production extras it is yeah i mean right now my my assistant's running around she's planning eight videos right now so you batch it you batch a lot of videos at once as opposed to just shooting a one-off sometimes if i have all like a lot of ideas flowing then yeah i want to shoot it all immediately because you don't always have all these ideas flowing all the time because you know sometimes you have like not writer's block but like kind of creator's block so yeah so i like bulk shooting when i when i am in the creative flow for sure yeah i think in a way it must be much more challenging in a lot of ways than what we do here so for example we do this show twice a week every week and done it for seven years but

we get what that's crazy but i mean but we get it we get to have people like you on and so like i'm feeding off your energy and just hearing your story and so like some days if i'm feeling off or if she's feeling off or the creativity is not there it's like you're still you're just bringing people in and so it's not like always off the i mean this is off the top of the head obviously but you know what i mean like i don't have to come up with like all these concepts i'm not sitting there like holy shit hannah's coming in like what are my concepts right I'm just like yeah you kind of feel the flow of it yeah just and I'm feeding off animal sex facts exactly yeah but you know what I mean I imagine like we just sat with a writer here and he was talking about how hard

the writing process and I was like sit down every single day and like you know just do the work and like it doesn't always come but it doesn't be this like consistent thing I was like man that sounds grueling and even just you sitting here describing this now i'm like man that sounds stressful is there like hair makeup lighting kind of thing like how you would prep for a movie or no well it depends it depends the kind of shoot like if i need to be like oh i'm gonna be like looking out of my mind in this shot and i want to contrast that and look beautiful, then yeah, I'll have hair and makeup calm and make sure I have my two apertures and all of that stuff. But yeah, if it's just like it kind of depends the platform and the idea.

Yeah. If you if there's an alien that came down from outer space and they asked you to explain the differences between each platform, how would you explain them? Meaning like what are you using Snapchat for versus Instagram versus TikTok? And I think maybe this will help anyone who's like starting a business and wants to understand each different facet. Well, especially because all these people, like nobody knows where the hell to start or where to place their talent now. It's like they see someone like you and then they haven't started. Like there's 80 platforms. What the hell do I do? Yeah, I would say for somebody just starting out, you know, they're starting out in a time

where it is oversaturated on social media right now. And there's a lot of the same content. This sounds so cliche, but if they're unique to themselves and they love what they're doing, it will translate and it'll do well. And then as far as each platform goes, I would say Instagram, you want to post like your best videos on there and also content that'll help elevate your career and which is like a good look for you, you know, that that sort of stuff. What about stories? Is that the same? No, stories is like I think stories can be used as getting to know the person a little

bit more instead of like what like say, oh, I'm known for getting hit in the head with a basketball or something. And then do you do your stories of what's like authentic to you? Like I'll post like, you know, I had to flush your brain with breathing. And then like my cat peeing on the toilet and then me drinking iced tea and stuff. Your cat pees in the toilet? My cat pees in the freaking toilet. Wait, like you taught the cat to pee in the toilet?

Yeah. How did you do that? I had my assistant get this. It's like this platform that you put underneath the toilet so you fill it with litter. And then you put them on top of the toilet. Then they use it. And then every other week, you cut a hole, a small hole. Every other week, the hole gets bigger and bigger and bigger.

So the cat is peeing in the toilet. I'm going to really need you to teach my chihuahua how to pee in the toilet. Is that possible? The chihuahua's one. Can you do it with a dog? It might be a little late It's good to do it When they're

Potty training My wife thought It was a good idea To have two children Under three And then go get A brand new puppy That's not

Horrible idea Oh my god Guys I almost Got a new dog on Monday Almost rescued a dog But it has a chip in Go rescue dogs All day long

It is a lot of work People need to realize It's almost more work Than children Yeah I know So much work Especially dogs They require so much attention all day long. It is a lot of work people need to realize. It's almost more work than children. Yeah, I know. Especially dogs. They require so much attention. Yeah, and the dog

isn't hopping up on the toilet and taking a shit. You know, we should try this with your chihuahua. I think it would be amazing for you and also for social media.

Imagine a chihuahua going pee in the toilet. I've never seen it online before. I will lend you the chihuahua. You know what? I'll just literally bring the chihuahua to you guys. I'll drop the chihuahua going pee in the toilet. I've never seen it online before. I will lend you the Chihuahua. You know what? I'll just literally bring the Chihuahua to you guys. I'll drop the Chihuahua off. You guys can let her be famous.

Go put her on your toilet. And then she'll never return. I know. I know. I just blow her up. You can borrow my Chihuahua. You want to borrow her? Chihuahua starts levitating.

We'll reach out to your manager and get your day rate to come over and train our Chihuahua every week. Great. Yeah, yeah. We'll figure that out. No, no, no. She can take the Chihuahua. Just take rate to come over and train our chihuahua every week great yeah yeah we'll figure that out no no no she can take the chihuahua just take it off your hands take the chihuahua yeah give us the ice rollers back

we're just gonna give you a dog honestly like could you actually train though a dog to go pee on a toilet I mean I've never seen it done but also

I've never seen anybody try okay well maybe you can do the first one what's the funniest video that you've ever filmed that you think is personally funny? Not that the audience necessarily like thinks is amazing. Oh, man.

I mean, the audience probably thinks they're all amazing. But like something that you just be like, this is so funny. I'm really proud of. Yeah. I would probably say like the weird ones that I like. It actually translated really well because normally it's the videos that you love that flop. And then the videos that you're like, oh, well, I have nothing to post today. I guess I'll throw this up. And then it goes viral. But this one I really loved and it did well in the pandemic. And

I had the mask on. I see a cute guy and I take my mask off and then I'm missing my two front teeth. And he's like, no, no, no, it's OK. And he takes his mask off and he only has my two front teeth and he's like no no no it's okay and he takes his mask off and he only has his two front teeth and then it's like ha ha ha then we have a slow moment when we connect our teeth did you have to get a fake no tooth situation how did you do that vfx fx yeah yeah my boy boomer damn this is this is not like creating you know wake up with me video no no no no this is like this is like the new age of like television and movie creating i mean it really it seems like a lot of work it is it is yeah it's a lot of work but yeah it's it's no like wake up with me or get ready with me. It's really weird.

Do people ever want that from you, though? Are people ever like, can you just do your makeup or can you just show us your morning routine? Yeah, can you just calm down? Yeah, I mean, I get that sometimes. Like, what's your skincare routine? You know I'm going to ask that. You don't want to know. No, I want to know the real. I feel like you're going to say something crazy.

You know what's funny? You just have naturally good skin, right? It's literally on here. It says, she has amazing skin. Can she share herself? Yeah. No way. Really?

Yeah. You have amazing skin. Oh, thanks. So do you. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Don't do that. Yeah, you do. No.

Well, we have all these incredible people come on the show and then like she's throwing stuff at me saying like hey man you look terrible like use this now like the other day she just like hit like she's throwing

yeah and it's also it has healing properties in it too i thought you were gonna say just a bar of soap and then i was gonna go back to our closet and give give you like a huge bag of skincare because really you need it but like just to be preventative but then you said the grapeseed oil honestly people douse yourself in oil yeah grapeseed oil is amazing me and uh me and whitney cummings we bonded over that she also just looks like a zygote after she puts it on she puts so much on. We definitely bonded over that. But yeah, I love it. I mean, I do want to add some, you know, lotions and things like that, like land comb lotions. Yeah.

Well, I just added some pink balls and some ice rollers and you can wake up with this. Yes. Oh, I've always wanted to use this. Because actually, this side of my face has been a little swollen lately like the last two weeks but like when i look like this it's like so i think this will be great thank you guys it's gonna snatch not that you need it but it's gonna snatch the face and if you're waking up and someone's just waking you up and you're you hear your cat pissing in the toilet which is like crazy it's crazy when you're like getting ready and then you hear like a stream you're like getting ready and then you hear like a stream

you're like oh my god then you just see your cat just i don't listen i know some people and obviously you included love cats cats really creep me out wow i understand that's not nice no because i just know but it's it's common for people i can't trust it i feel like a cat only loves its person and i i always feel like if i'm not paying attention and there's a cat around and it's like maybe like just there. I've seen these videos that just come out. They just rip someone's face out of nowhere. You're just minding your own business on the couch. And then the cat creeps up.

These things, these fuckers are quiet. Right. And they just sneak up and then rip. Yeah. I mean, I've never had the only experience that I've had with a cat that's done that to me, this cat, I named him Cosmo. I got him when he was already grown. He had a lot of trauma in his childhood.

And I was walking to like my dorm room and it went, and then my whole foot started bleeding. So maybe these cats just have trauma. I think these cats are more wild than they, I don't think they should be domesticated. Yeah, maybe these cats need a therapy. Her cat's literally pissing on the they, I don't think they should be domesticated. Yeah, maybe these cats need a therapy. Her cat's literally pissing on the toilet. I don't know what

you're talking about. They're not that, it's not that wild. Taylor, how deep are you going here? What's going on here? Where are you? There was one I was

just watching where she's dancing with these things. I'm sure he was watching one. Here we go. I just found it. Taylor, what are you

talking about? Hold on. One you were just watching? That was a brand deal. This one right here. Look at this guy though. I was going to say,

you're like, do you do wake up with me videos? And she's got these like, I don't even know how to describe it. That was a Malibu rum brand deal. What year is this? Taylor, what were you doing this deep in her videos, Taylor? I was doing research right now. I was so young there. Look at that.

Do you even have to work out? Because this is a workout. Yeah, that is a workout. Yeah. Do you have to go to the gym and exercise? Yeah, I do. There's one where she's dressed like Squidward. Even though your that is a workout. Yeah. Do you have to go to the gym and exercise? Yeah, I do. There's one where she's dressed like Squidward. Even though your comedy is so physical. Taylor, you are

so deep in her profile. How do you even know these videos exist this deep down? She's like, I forgot I filmed this. Yeah, I forget about almost all the videos I filmed. Look at this right here. I think Taylor did a deep dive research on you. She's Squidward. So yeah, do your makeup.

That's amazing. For the longest time, I couldn't figure out why in the middle of the day I was crashing and why I was getting regular headaches.

First of all, I want to know, do you feel like, oh, who is this person? Is this person sus? Does he want to get on my Instagram stories? Or is it like people can't even approach you because they're intimidated by you? Like guys your age? Or do you just have to say, fuck it and go older? Oh, no, it's it's tough because I feel like anybody with any kind of like,

I guess, status is going to be worried about being used or things like that. And so, yeah, I mean, your guards are up. My guards are always up because, you know, through life in this business, like you're going to get burned. Everybody does. And so, I mean, I've, you know, through life in this business, like you're going to get burned. Everybody does. And so I mean, I've, you know, dated my fair share of athletes. It's never gone very well. Has it really never gone well ever? No, not once. No. Well, during it, like some during it, it's going well. It's going to the same thing. So, yeah. So I've tried dating people with status and money and then it's just the same thing. And I've been in a public relationship before and I've, you know, had the pressure of, I mean, I was also really young, you know, making sure I post them. And he was also an athlete and like cheating on me and stuff.

So, like, I'd hear things and then it kind of created anxiety from it. Because it was so public yeah it was public and then it was like oh well you haven't posted your girl so in a while and she's only posting you now so what does that say about you and then it kind of gets in your head so I personally I really like private relationships when you find out someone's cheating on you, is it because of the Internet sleuths or is it because just like your friends? No, I mean, I mean, it's not that hard to find out somebody's cheating on you. Especially a man. That's what I mean.

Why do they do that? Think of a woman's cheating. It's harder to find out. A hundred percent. It's like, do guys not know that when you follow a girl, it's in order? There's so many things that they don't know and they don't think about. It's so easy to catch a cheater in 2023. Yeah, it's almost like try harder.

You should do a show called Cheaters, but make it like a new age version for social media. Yeah, like catching them? Yeah, catching the cheater. Remember that show? It's like Catfish a little bit, but catching them? Catching the cheater. Remember that show? It's like Catfish a little bit, but catching them. Catching the Cheater. I like that. It's a strange concept when you see it and people are shocked on actually either sex that they get caught.

I mean, especially now. You can't blow your nose anymore without someone seeing it, right? It's like it's impossible. So I always find them like, oh, yeah, you were the one guy or one girl that was going to trick the world, right? It's kind of a – I always just say it's easier to just be like, listen, I'm out. I've got to go somewhere else. Like this ain't working anymore.

I know. Or open relationships. Well, some, I think. Something. Be more unique, more creative. Some people like the thrill of that. The thrill of cheating. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, they do. And I think some, and this is going to sound strange, but I think there's always a part to play too. Like some people that are cheating with people that are in relationships also like the thrill. Yeah. Where it's like, oh.

Well, I think with Hannah, there's another layer because I can imagine, and you won't say this, but I will, that girls who are going for your boyfriends get off on the fact that they're your boyfriend. It's a confidence booster. It's like, oh, I got... It is like, oh, Hannah's man. And then they brag to all their friends or they post about it. Yeah, it's a whole thing.

You know what? Maybe no athletes then. Try no athletes. Oh, no, I'm done with athletes. Yeah. I have a boyfriend now. How many athletes try to slide into the DMs?

Taylor's a good one. No, no, I'm not an athlete. I'm just really... Wait, you have a boyfriend actively right now. Yeah.'m not an athlete. I'm just really... Wait, you have a boyfriend actively right now. Yeah. And not an athlete. Not an athlete. Private. Private. Keep it that way. We'll see how it goes. Just taking it day by day.

Honestly, take it day by day. I think don't tell anyone because the second that you start posting someone, sometimes I think too, they get a little bit of an ego with it yeah like they start to think oh like look at me and the girls start dming if we broke up i would literally just create a profile that says lauren everts x and i feel like that would be the only like because they

don't really want me they're just oh they want her leavings i love i think you guys are really compatible i really like you guys together i know we just met but thanks i love this i mean at this point we've got a we know each other since we were 12 you know so no way yeah that's that's that's another great way to meet someone is like if you know someone for a long time it's kind of there's something nice about that because they know you before the relationship yeah so you guys kind of you're from the same town we're from the same town same with taylor we all went to middle school together and where san diego san diego oh my god i love that small town vibes wow so wait so in total how long have you guys

known each other since we were 12 so what is that i mean a million years 24 how many years is that 24 years i know long time We haven't been together that long. This isn't like sweet home Alabama. We had time between. I've dated other guys. And dating an athlete is, and I don't have a lot of experience with this, but I think a lot of my friends do. Michael's an athlete.

We played high school football. I thought you were going to say basketball. I was like, no, you guys didn't. That's a lie. No, but I can assume that it would be there's so many girls throwing themselves at them that it's hard and i actually have empathy for that but maybe they shouldn't have girlfriends yeah yeah you know are there no good athletes or just they're all they're all i mean i don't know i you know there can be good athletes but

here's the thing i just think that there should be a level of fairness and communication. And if they're like, hey, I'm used to so many girls in my life. However, I do want one girl to settle down with. And I do want all these other girls because I'm traveling and I get lonely. Are you okay with that? And then if the girl is like, yeah, can I do it too? And he's like, yeah, it's fair. I love that.

I don't love when they're like, no, you can't do that, but I should be able to do this. I don't think that's fair. I always fight for fairness. But that's a conversation that transpired with you? Yeah. That's why me and my ex broke up. You know. He came to you and said, is it okay if I do this?

And you were like, no, I don i don't i'm not down for that if i had that conversation with lauren the next conversation you'd all be having would be over my grave oh my god okay so this is how it happened he was like hey so i want to like be with other girls i this was literally my reaction okay so like you want to have an open relationship and i was like excited i was like great because he's not satisfying me emotionally i wanted to talk to other guys get attention from other guys so i was really stoked about that and then he was he said no i i want to i you can't do this with other guys but i i want to do this and i said you know that's not fair we're not gonna work yeah fuck that is that weird like because he made me seem like I'm crazy the narcissism of that is so interesting you could dissect it like a krill sperm like I can't for for someone to think that

they can have an open relationship and you can't. Yeah. You know what I would do? If someone came to me and said that, I would say, no problem. Go do it. But don't. But then. Yeah, let her tell her story. There's a twist. I know it's coming. But then I would go mirror their exact behavior without even telling them I'm doing it.

I mean, no, that is not. But don't listen. Here's the problem. You've just told this story and now somehow I'm getting like she's angry at me. I'm angry at the fact that people can be so narcissistic as to think that it's OK if they do that, but it's not OK for the other person to do that. And they actually get mad at the other person for even suggesting it. It's like disgusting. Yeah, I know. Stop looking at me like I did. I didn't have I'm hearing the story as well for the first time. Yeah, I saw this meme. It's like manipulation is pretty much getting mad at somebody's reaction for your behavior. And that's pretty much what it was.

100%. It's manipulative. It's egotistical. It's narcissist. I can't. And you know what? That person showed his true colors. So when that happens, you're like, I'm out.

I was like, fuck this shit, I'm out. And also, you're not satisfying me emotionally. So goodbye. Yeah, yeah. There was a lot of lack of communication. So, so glad that's done. Have you heard from that person since? Has he reached out?

Oh, yeah. Hits me up every week. Good. Let him hit you up every week for the rest of his life. With no reply. Good. Oh, shit. How big is this guy? Is he going to hear this?

Is he going to come beat me up? He's big actually. He's a big boy. He's seven feet tall. Honestly, he probably did the right thing. You're wrong here. Just in case he's going to hear this and come get me. You really should have taken him back. Asking for a

friend. Would you ever date a regular guy that works a regular job that is not... 100%. Oh. Because, you know, it's not about money

or fame. Okay. Like, I really like somebody who's passionate about what they do for a living. And normally, when they're passionate

about something, that comes with, you know, success and things like that. I like, i like you know talent great communication skills does it have to be talent like the same kind of creative endeavor no no no no just talent in general like if they're really talented with visual effects or editing or being a botanist you know it could have some kind of talent yeah or interest okay but here's my personality base how is it it's hard to meet someone like that's your type that you're telling

me is your type and i and i i have a similar type too if i was single but in this city it's a hard city especially in hollywood yeah so what do you do you You know, you pray. Yeah, I just pray. Yeah. I mean, all of it really happens in the DMs. And then. And then, yeah, you just you go from there. Personally, I really like long distance relationships because I like a lot of time apart. I like time for me and to focus on my career and get away. I like it feeling like fun and fresh and not seeing the same person every single day. So how does a person get to you in your DMs when you have...

Hey, you up? No, I'm just kidding. How do you even see it? Hey, you up? Yeah, what should we send to stand out? Not a wienery, veiny, weird dick pic. No. That's for sure.

Or... Yeah, and also like don't follow a bunch of Instagram models. I mean, it's one in one though. And post with like a big salmon you just killed and caught. A hundred. So many guys are deleting salmon pictures right now. No, don't post with a salmon or a marlin.

Yeah. Or like a deer you just killed. No. Why do women dislike, I don't have salmon pics salmon or a marlin. Yeah. Or like a deer you just killed. Why do women dislike... I don't have salmon pics myself, but why is that such a thing? It's become a thing. Buy it from heroin. Like it's already caught and like cured. But maybe they're thinking like,

listen, I want to show the dedication it took for me to get into this fucking boat and charge out at five in the morning and then sit out there with all this patience. I know, but it's giving insecure it is it is like go go to the gym work on yourself don't go out and like kill something but don't take a mirror

selfie at the gym without your shirt like there's like a selfie yeah why is guys taking selfies so weird yeah we can't do a selfie listen I don't do selfies you know I barely even do normal pictures he's good he's good his social media i feel like passes the the check that's great yeah that's huge and very hard to find taylor's not so much taylor

would go into every bathroom in every house i've ever lived in he would dim the lights slightly no get the shadows going flex his abs takes 45 different photos. I would literally be pounding on, this is a true story. If you go to his Instagram at tales, you die. Pull your Instagram up right now. He literally would have all these different bathroom pics and all these different places that I've lived. I mean, honestly, there's one in West Hollywood. He does have really good lighting. And this is a one spirit in my life. There's nothing wrong with that either. If that makes you happy, that's great. What is wrong is when he would do this, he would shave his stomach hair with my face razor

and I found out later. If I talk about it right now, my blood starts boiling. I get angry about it. It's been seven years and I'm still mad about it. He used Michael's face razor to shave his razor burn penis. His penis? What's it called?

The area? Taylor. The happy trails. Taylor. No. Taylor's like. Taylor. Taylor.

Why? Why? Can you do a skit with Taylor where he shaves his fucking razor burn penis area with Michael's shave? So how did you find this out? Because I saw this selfie posted later and then I saw his disgusting razor burn stomach and then I saw my razor and I just do deductive reasoning.

You just detected it. Yeah, I detected it. I said, why is that there? Why does that look like that? What's going on? And then I just looked at him and I've known Taylor for so long. I asked him to try to not tell me. He did. He's like, did you use my razor? And I was like, oh, how do you know? The audience wants to know

three specific questions. Okay. Number one, what is it like to work with Tyler Perry? Oh, Tyler Perry is a brilliant genius mind. It was so crazy how I started working with him because my friend actually just got casted

in his movie and you know, I was at home. My cat just threw up. I was cleaning up the throw up. The vacuum was on. I look at my phone, my text. It's like, hey, this is Mr. Perry. Can you give me a call?

And I was like, and so I called him. He's like, hey, like, it's Tyler. I think you're hilarious. I just watched all your YouTube videos. What are you doing tomorrow? I'm like, ah, hi, Mr. Perry. I'm like trembling. I just watched all your YouTube videos. What are you doing tomorrow? Hi, Mr. Perry. I'm like trembling.

I'm like nothing. Why? He's like, I think you're so funny. I want to write you into my movie. What were you freaking out? I was freaking out. I couldn't breathe. Do you know how much of a power move that is to be like, hey, it's Mr. Perry out of the blue. Out of the blue.

Like got my number somehow. What did you do? So then he's like, can it can you link me with your managers and your lawyer start packing now because I think you need to take the red eye it was like 5 p.m it's like I gotta spray tan I was packing I had to turn in this YouTube video by tomorrow I was in a red eye flight editing the YouTube video and also I just got in the script right before the flight and it was a five-hour flight I'm YouTube video. And also I just got in the script right before the flight. And it was a five-hour flight. I'm reading all my lines, my new lines on the red-eye flight.

I land, take a shower, get in hair and makeup, shoot my first scene. And somebody's like, hey, have you worked with Tyler Perry before? And I say, I haven't worked with anybody before. And then they're like, oh, okay, well, just to let you know, Tyler works so quick that if you mess up your line, he'll just cut it from the movie action and I was like so it was crazy how long were your lines yeah like six seven big scenes but yeah that I mean that first scene I like drove up on a car like over the curb like skidded into the front of this frat house. I was like screaming at my ex-boyfriend for cheating on me. And it was like a wild scene.

Oh my God, that is so fun. So you were literally just thrown into a movie. Yeah, that was my first movie experience. It was so nerve wracking. I have a weird question. When you're traveling like that, you said you get on the red eye, this and that. You're beautiful.

You're very tall. You have a presence. People must come up to you all the time what do you do how do you handle that I never say no if somebody asked me for a picture they all want selfies huh all want selfies yeah it's like the new autograph I guess and so yeah so I just take the picture with them I I mean I always say like oh like great to meet you goodbye but sometimes like I think the person that handles it the best that I've learned from is Miranda Cosgrove.

We were flying back from Sacramento and like fans are coming up and what she says, she's like, hi, what's your name? And then they say their name. She's like, cool. Nice to meet you. And then they're like and then they leave. They get their picture and then they leave. And it's not like a really long experience, you know, with a bunch of people in a row.

Like, I think she handles it the best. So I'm going to start doing that. She says, hi, what's your name? Nice to meet you. Yeah, waits for the name. It was so great to meet you. And then does the selfie. Boom.

Because that's what people, I mean, I think that's what people want. They just want acknowledgement, right? Yeah. And if you give them that, it's like, that's all people are really looking for acknowledgement yeah uh-huh and then i think like the creator or the actress like miranda i think like the what they want they you know they appreciate the love and then maybe they're in the middle of something and want to get back to it and so yeah i think she does a good job with that that's a good tip yeah okay before i asked you three rapid fire questions for TikTok, can you leave our

audience with some health and wellness tips? You said earlier that you do like to work out. Do you follow a certain eating plan? Like what do you do to stay fit to be in front of the camera? I mean, you were doing some scenes that are like some serious scenes in bathing suits, underwear. Like what's your diet, fitness, health, wellness? I'm definitely really active. I love working out. I do a lot of weight training when I can. Sometimes I go months without working out. But I think working out is great for physical mental health. Don't cook with vegetable oil. It's toxic. Use coconut oil. Use no fluoride toothpaste. Mountain Valley water is great. Try not to drink out of plastic water bottles. There's microplastics in there.

Beef liver is amazing for you. Lots of minerals, nutrients. Sea moss, same thing, has 94 of the 97 nutrients that you need in a day in just a spoonful. Also, oysters are pretty much the beef liver of the ocean. A lot of great minerals in there, too. What beef liver brand do you like? I love oh really yeah i do i get the one from air one okay it's a mix of beef liver and beef heart is it force of nature yes i love that and then there's there's uh you know your stuff about me i told you lord i knew she knew because listen conover's

not talking to some what were you were you saying? You were saying, go ahead. You were going to say something. You were going to say something about the beef liver. There's also beef liver chips. The second word in it is aureus. I'll send you the link. I want to know the link to that. Really gross. Just douse it in

some kind of sauce. You know what? I like it. She likes oysters. She likes beef liver. I'm on like a kick like that. I think that this needs to be talked about more because people, you know, for so long we were told vegan, vegan, vegan. And I think it's starting to come out more and more that like if you do eat meat, there's a lot of benefits. My hair has never been thicker. Yeah, mine too. And my skin. skin yeah it's like what you put in your body exudes out yes and i think women talking about meat and beef liver and things that are like
