The following podcast is a dear media production.
God damn it, why do we use all of our funny right there?
It will also be funny.
Hi, Ting.
Hi.
Well, this is exciting.
I'm so happy to be talking to you.
I'm really happy that we formed an internet friendship and then turn it into a real life
and the same, same. I like you a lot and I just felt like, yeah, I'm just so glad.
I'm so glad also.
Our last hang was us talking about very current events in our life, but I really
like, I don't know like that much about you and like how you grew up and stuff.
And we don't need to go like deep into it, but like, I want to know some things about
the quick and dirty younger tanks.
Yeah, like my parents are American, but I grew up in London until I was 19.
Did you ever have an accent?
I did.
Yeah, I did.
And I lost it stupidly and I was just at sushi with like this Froufroule, a person and they
were like, you would have been a lot more saleable with your accent.
I'm just telling you, you left money on the table and I was like, okay, well, I was 19
and it wasn't, I wasn't thinking about this at that point.
So whatever.
But yeah, I, they were American.
I moved when I was like six months old and my parents are like the most American people
you'd ever meet.
So I grew up in an American style household, but I went to an all girls British school.
So it was like a, it was a big like mixing of two worlds, but I feel very lucky for that.
And were you like an outlier for being like, people definitely thought I was like different
and I, but I had two accents because I didn't want to be different from my peers or my parents,
but sometimes I'll slip up and my British teachers would be like, why are you speaking
like that?
And I was like, oh my God.
And, and then when I went to college, I had my British accent for like the first year
or so.
And then I just like, it naturally faded away because.
How did you just like go to an Ivy League, where you like super studious?
No, I feel like we skip over that a little bit too much.
No, I have, this is one of the things that the trolls got to me about where they were
like, you mentioned, you went to Stanford too much.
So now I'm like, I didn't actually go to college and people are like, that's weird.
I thought you went to Stanford and I'm like, no, I, I didn't, I didn't also.
Well, the trolls got me there.
People who went to Stanford and Harvard for bringing it up, but like also people who fucking
went to ASU or my mom went to Pasadena Community College and she brings up Pasadena Community
College one to fucking week with pride.
So it just is probably triggering for people because they didn't go to fucking Stanford.
Yeah.
Yeah, but it was, it was great.
I loved it so much.
It was, it was so like, rah, rah, and that's what I wanted.
I wanted like the opposite of full American, like I wanted football games and, and sororities
and like joy and, and sunshine.
And like, as soon as I got to California, I was like, well, this is just as magical as
I had imagined as the, and they portrayed.
I think it was such a California person.
So it's so funny to think about it being like a new thing.
I, I loved it.
Like immediately when I landed, I was, because I knew in my heart, I was like, I always tell
this anecdote, but I always say like, oh, I'd watched a lot of the hills and like Laguna
Beach and all that stuff.
And in high school, and I was like, I want to go where they are.
And it honestly felt like that.
I like, I mean, think about it.
I went to school and all girls British school with a uniform.
No, I was crazy.
I was a virgin and then I like got to Stanford and it's like, it was like slow mo, like water
polo.
I was like, what's water polo?
And they're like, come on, we're going to the pool.
And then all of a sudden there's these guys and red speedos like hitting each other.
And they're like super tan.
And I was like, I'm in heaven.
So then I had literally the best four years and I am one of those people very sad who
was like, that was the best four years of my life.
Like I loved it so much.
I made all my best friends and I feel very lucky for that experience.
And then I wanted to be in.
What did you study there?
English Lit.
Yeah, I was, I love to read and write.
I have no left brain skills whatsoever.
And I just loved it.
And read and read and wrote the whole time.
And then I wanted to go into fashion.
So I applied to this program called the Gap Retail Management Program.
It's like a bootcamp for people who think that they want to be like retail execs, which
like LOL.
And went to do that was so bad at it because it was like a merchandising job.
And that's actually very, there's a lot of business acumen needed to be good at it.
And I was bad at it.
Then I didn't.
That's why I didn't graduate from person.
It was just.
It was all the business stuff.
So business.
People don't realize that everyone.
And I don't want to be the trolls get me for being like, you interrupt people, but I think
people need to understand if you're going to take like a fashion merchandising program,
you're going to have to be doing algebra.
Like there was spreadsheets.
So much.
Every day.
And I was like, and I just remember I would go to my sweet friend, my work wife, Baja,
every Monday morning.
And I'd be like, just tell me like two things to say because I can't read this and I don't
know what to do.
And it was just like, you know, but at the same time I was freelance writing a lot and
that made me really happy.
And then I went to work at Poshmark, which was so fun and cool and like way more of my
speed.
And then I was like, okay, I'm going to regret it if I never.
Where are you living at this time?
It's still San Francisco.
All San Francisco, which was kind of like an extension of my college is because we were
close.
So everyone moved there and it was like four more years of college.
And I was like, I'm going to regret it if I don't move to New York and try it.
And also all my smart friends are going to business school.
So I should go like whatever.
So I went to Parsons for grad school and hated that too.
What program did you do?
I did a masters in fashion journalism.
Oh, well.
But it was just like two years of like kind of fluffy nonsense.
Who cares this?
I was 26 when I went.
So 2016.
Had they redone that one building that used to be a mall and had the ugly ass-
Now it's like a spaceship.
So beautiful.
Yeah.
I had to be in that shitty fucking building.
Yeah.
And it's like it was very futuristic.
And I was like, beautiful.
I was like, oh my god, this is going to be amazing.
And then it was like wack and like not for me.
But so I did that.
And then, you know, New York is an amazing city.
But if you hate yourself when you live there, it's very difficult.
And I really didn't like it.
And I didn't settle.
And I was sad because the whole time I was like my whole life, I thought I would end
up here and like it's the city of dreams and like everyone's thriving.
But I had kind of a tough two years because I just felt so lost.
And I felt like all of my friends were doing this amazing stuff.
And I was like single and like really didn't like myself and just kind of a miserable person.
It gets very dark in New York very quickly if you're not radiating a little bit of joy.
Yeah.
Or if you don't have like, you know, or if you don't have purpose because I think it's
like a city where people go when they are delusional in a good way about their dreams.
And I was like, I want to be passionate about something.
I just don't know what the fuck you're waiting for the dream to like be dream.
I was like, dreamt.
Where is it?
Where is it?
And I was like, you know, all my friends are getting engaged.
And I was like, okay, sick, love this for me.
So then I did what any good millennial did.
And I ran from my problems again.
And I was like, I know where I won't be sad.
LA, I'll just move again.
And so I did that.
And when I moved to LA, I like didn't have a job.
And I was consulting AKA like doing this and that for different brands, including a
weed company.
And like, I don't smoke weed.
I don't know anything about weed.
And I was like, oh, yes, of course I can go door to door and sell this.
And then like after a few months, I was, I had like enough good clients.
Like I was still freelance writing.
That was my happiest thing, but I wasn't making enough money to support myself.
And then, you know, helping this and that.
And I was like, okay, maybe I'll make it in LA.
Like, maybe I can just like make a little life here for myself.
And then the pandemic hit.
And all the companies that I was freelancing for were like, we're bankrupt.
We can't pay you.
So then I was like, okay, I'm going to go move home.
And I-
Are your parents still in London at this point?
They still live in London.
And I was like, well, we're all going to die or I'm going to have to move home.
I might as well download TikTok.
And then I made my first video in the pandemic.
And I was like, oh, this is what I was supposed to be doing.
Like, I want to entertain people.
Like, I want to connect through storytelling.
And it's been a wild three years since then.
I don't think it ever really hit me that this was three fucking years ago, dude.
I know.
It's crazy.
I believe that all that has happened in three years.
Like-
What?
It's not.
Hilary Hogan, one of my best friends, shout out to Hilary Hogan, sent me one of your
videos, San Francisco GAL, sent me one of your videos years ago and said this is the
funniest shit I've ever seen.
And would send them to-
It was before I had TikTok.
Yeah.
But like, she and her friends all just like, we're dead and died for you.
And I remember being like, this is so quick and funny.
Like how-
And then do you remember that we-
Do you-
We both interviewed Gwyneth.
I remember.
Back to back.
I remember.
I was too nervous to introduce myself, too.
I know.
I didn't- Well, I was always like, had stalked you and was aware of your friend group because
I interned for Brock.
And so I knew Laura and then also my best friend from Stanford's older sister went to
USC and his friends with like your friends, too.
So I was always aware of like, the perfect gals, like always wearing all their perfect
shit.
I don't know if I've ever talked about this, but like in my time-
By the way, I'm the outlier in that group.
No, you're not.
I literally used to stalk you and we'd work and was like, we got tattoos and like hung
out with this and like was it shitty bars and they were like in New York at the same
time, we never hung out because they were like building these like gorg-
Like I was like, they were like hanging out with like cool British dudes, like fancy bars.
And I was like, I'm at this like shitty dive bar.
Like it was like, I've always been a little bit around the whole entire in that group.
It's funny because when I think back to like that time and one thing that I always tell
my followers is like comparison is a thief of joy.
And like I think back to the time I was living in New York and like I was comparing myself
to everyone online and like this is embarrassing to admit, but including your friend group
because you see these people who you preferably know online and it seems like their lives
are fucking perfect and like nothing goes wrong and like they're all still friends and they're
so beautiful and like everything works out.
And like I remember sitting there thinking like I am my life as a disaster, like I'm a
failure, whatever, whatever.
And it's just, it's just you can't compare yourself to people online.
You want to know why especially because that whole time I was like they all have their
shit together.
I'm lost.
I'm a loser.
I would go to every wedding of these fucking peoples and baby showers without a fucking date
without like any idea I was getting so drunk staying up too late at every-
Yeah.
It was me and the husbands.
Yeah.
They'd be like oh there's P.O. with like all of her husbands and just like drunk before
the wedding.
I used to sleep.
There would be times I couldn't afford to go to any of the weddings and how I would
be able to go is like I slept, I shared a hotel room with Hilary and Keith at a wedding
wedding wedding.
Yeah, I've been there, been there.
Like so I get like it's so funny because you just never fucking-
You never know.
It's a room is just the editorial version of-
It's just the editorial of what?
It's a magazine.
It's literally a magazine.
And so yes, so all this to say it's very cool to be sitting here with you.
And yes, I can't believe we didn't introduce ourselves at Gwen.
Because I was like totally knew we were that whole time and before that.
I mean I did too and then I was nervous and it was another friend of ours.
Yeah.
I can't remember.
I said I was doing Prolon or something and she was like ting ston't me about Prolon
because you posted about it and I was like ting ston't who I am.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was like what are you talking about?
Well I actually remember I saw you at the Oscars too.
And I meant to introduce myself there.
Oh my god.
And then I was like I don't know.
That's going to be weird if I do that.
So anyway and that's also LA for you is like everyone thinking like oh you know I wish I
could introduce myself but they don't know who I am blah blah blah and it's like just-
You know what else happens in those moments and this is like something that people-
This is like my biggest pet peeve.
It's like we've clearly both wanted to say hi to the other one and like didn't get the
goal to do it.
And like in those moments it would have been really easy for either one of us to be like
she's a bitch.
She didn't like yeah I mean her like she looked at me but then like looked away and like maybe
she thinks she's just like everyone else does about us.
I'm just going hi to edit that out.
Yeah but it's like it's always it's usually because someone is shy or nervous.
I'd be like hi and I remember you walked by and we were with- I was a Dovine and another
friend and he was like who's that?
And I was like oh my god that stinks.
She makes these videos and she's like super famous for it and she's like really funny
and you looked like so glam and I was like damn she's like has like a big fucking career.
Like this girl's like a big deal.
It was like so funny that we just looked at each other from afar.
Yeah so that's your lesson of the day everyone.
Just go say hi and if someone doesn't say hi it's probably because they're shy not for
any other reason.
What's your favorite thing that you do now?
Do we say influencer?
Yeah we can say it.
I'm taking back the word.
I think it's fine but people like make it nasty and I'm like no you're going to shit
on someone for making millions of dollars.
Yeah no I am what's my favorite thing that I do?
Okay so there's like in your day to day life like you know brand partnerships or making
a new video the one you did about Pilates today was really funny or like what is or then
the podcast like what is it that like sparks the most joy for you?
My radio show because it's just different and it's like because you can't prepare and
you never know what it's going to be I can like switch off for once which seems counter
intuitive but like just going in on Wednesday mornings and it's just me and my followers
and we just vibe and we like have our own jokes and we talk and I get to to me like talking
through a problem with someone is the most human thing of all time and it's just like
it's so simple and there's so much shit that goes on in our world and there's so much
that everyone deals with in modern life and like to just have someone call and be like
hey like I need advice on this like here's a situation what do you think and chew it over
together is like it it quells my anxiety it makes me happy to be alive it makes every
other bullshit worth it it's just two people just chatting through stuff and I think especially
with women it's just because I ask other people for advice all the time to women who are you
know I've asked you a million times about like oh my god like what's it like having a kid
and it's like isn't that the most like beautiful thing just like woman to woman being like can
you can you just tell me how you got through this or whatever so that's definitely my favorite
part I think everybody kind of acts like they know what they're doing or like everything's
okay yeah to be honest about stuff or just be like what's it like is really nice yeah
it's so nice it's always made me feel better yeah have you heard about Loba yet you take
vitamins or supplements you need to I have one but like most of the awesome stuff that
I get my mother stole it for me Loba is a new beautiful incredibly designed smart pill
organizer it looks gorgeous in your space and it's made to fit your life ours sits like
gorgeously on the counter and it doesn't bother me that there's like a functional item there
it connects to Wi-Fi via the Loba app where you set dealer reminders when it's time to
take your pills which is also why it was so good to give to my mama because you know like
she's not somebody who's like really good at taking her vitamins and it's you know something
that's been hard on her and hard on me because they want her to be on top of her stuff it's
so nice she gets a little notification to take all of her stuff it lights up in color
which is also adorable it's designed to tap into the power of visual cues into ease mental
load while contributing to better health and wellness so you know when she cruises into
the kitchen in the morning and she sees her little Loba is lit up she knows it's time to
take her vitamins it's not a cheap plastic drugstore pill organizer which is what we
had for years and I threw out I love that you can remove a daily pill pod and take it
on the go she's like to pop it in your purse and the app again will remind you when you're
out of the house to take your vitamins the idea for Loba was conceived when the founder
Kate Buschard began a naturopathic treatment plan that included a number of supplements
when looking for a way to organize them like most of us she could not find a product to
suit both her needs and her aesthetic let alone one that reminded her to take them so
she made her own and thank God she did because it is fabulous get 10% off your Loba pill

on me because on with wit very little is off limits.

wit are available every Tuesday on all platforms.
How do you navigate like this is like I'm just genuinely so curious about this especially
in LA like if you're if you like go to air wand or you go to like get lunch or something
do you feel like everybody is staring at you.
No I mean usually I mean my followers know I really like to meet them and it's so nice
and it's it's again it's like I prefer real life things like I love the internet for the
career it gave me but I'm an in real in in in IRL person and it's great I mean sometimes
it's like it's like stressful because of what we were just talking about like if I'm drunk
at a party which I often am you know when I'm like not saying hi to people or you know
behaviors can get misconstrued all the time and you know enough meet people write things
to you where you think well I just don't even want to go out anymore because I didn't I wasn't
even at that party and you said I was mean at that party or whatever all that stuff for
like and like I I'm really honest like I like to get drunk and like you don't always have
the best control of your you know behaviors when you're drunk and stuff like that so that's
the only time where I'm just like oh I hope I you know I hope I didn't miss saying hello
to someone or you know I'm not one of my followers but it comes with the territory.
I mean before the internet we could get drunk so freely and happily and I know it wasn't
like that.
I know we were like so much more free.
Free yeah we were free and it was just like you would meet people in vibe and you didn't
everyone didn't feel like they were gonna have a Yelp review written of their personality
the second after you met them like it's kind of insane you know.
Well that's I it's so funny you just used that term because I said that to someone the
other day like I read something that someone had written about me and I was like should
I like follow you around for four days and leave a review?
Yeah it's it's like it's a you're a human being and it's like I wish people would start
to view influencers or content creators whatever you want to call them is like TV channels
like when you were when I was little and I like didn't like a TV show I would just change
the channel I wouldn't write to that TV channel and be like you should kill yourself and like
you gotta get it like it's it's entertainment you don't like it scroll block me please I'm
begging you so that I don't irritate you on your thing but like you don't need to review
my personality because I'd never asked you.
Oh I think it's what makes it all worth it right or than these moments when you get to
like have a long conversation with one of your followers and you feel it's almost like it's
not even about you being like oh you know who I am and now it's like we're connecting
about something because we're just two fucking gals like yeah trying to problem solve something
and it makes you just feel less alone in the world.
Exactly exactly I mean listen what you're doing is clearly fucking working so everybody
else can go but I know that it's hard to everybody.
Isn't it tough time to be a person?
Yeah it is for everyone really really it is it's just like I um it's a odd time we're
all looking at each other even if you're just in high school.
Yeah I mean like I really I know that the high schoolers are having like the toughest
time like I was speaking to this friend of a friend she was like can you do me a favor
like one of your youngest followers is having a hard time being bullied at school and I
was like how old is she she was like she's 13 and I was like can you imagine?
I was like oh my god and I remember like when I was young being bullied was like you know
someone's saying something mean and then you go home and like you're sad but it's okay.
Now the level of shit that kids have to deal with is so scary like she was like telling
me like oh they took a picture of her and put it on their finstah and they put it on
Snapchat and this and that and like I have to look pretty for my from my in and then
you layer on the fact that young girls can't even open their phone without having a filter
on the thing and it's like wow like as you said you said it's so right like it's a tough
time to be a person and I just like my whole thing this year is like go with kindness like
even the worst you know whatever it is just like be compassionate like we're all doing
our best most people are just out there doing their best.
I'm going to switch gears here your initial videos you know about like Brett Wood mom
which really just killed everyone how this stands true to you being a good this proves
what a good writer you are because for somebody who moved here not even that long ago to get
that niche about little sub sex in LA like how did you it feels like you it was like
did someone give you the reach like it's it was so quick like and so fucking spot on
I guess LA is not that that layered I just like like that stuff like I like that satire
I like that you know what makes a place a place I guess like I love it from every angle
too because I love like a good recommendation and like I love to know the spots in whatever
city and and it's just like I don't know it's like fun and it's just like it's kind of
that half aspiration half satire which I really like so it was fun I need to do more it's
like now the rich mom videos are so like there's so much pressure which I know it's just me
putting pressure on myself but I like get so anxious before I do them now and before I
was just like anything in the beginning it was just like off the cuff like doing it for
fun and now I'm like I'm gonna perfect it for four months yeah so now I want to know
like do you feel pressure to be posting every day and to be like funny or like yeah now it's
become your job yeah I think it's like I thought when I started I was like I'm gonna post three
tuktoks like for every day for the rest of my life and now I'm like barely at one and
I'm just I mean bare one oh my god I've been trying so hard to post like it takes me like
a month but it takes off to get yeah it's a lot of work and it's like I think it's I think
it's interesting because so many influencers got their start on tiktok and then as it progresses
they get busier and busier with other projects and then that's where the whole thing of the
resentment comes in of the you've changed or you don't post anywhere your videos are
different and that's I mean that's kind of how it goes that's the life cycle of an influencer
right is you know you hope that you stay connected to your audience and I'm so lucky because I
have the best followers and we're like so close like it's amazing but I'm saying anecdotally what
you see is you know people have a come up on tiktok and then all of a sudden they start buying the
fancy cars and they look different and all this stuff and then all of a sudden it's like they're
on the red carpet and they started just like being in their living room like you so it's all very
interesting I think like when I'm home alone I feel my favorite platform is Instagram stories
like that's where I feel most at home it's like I love being in the moment I love most of you in
real time so I love when you're on a plane I love when you're getting to an airport like I
love the process if you answering these questions as you're like going through TSA yeah am I getting
on the plane and then you're on the plane and then you're in the other uber I think it's so funny
it's just so natural to me and I love it and I wish it was all like that and and the the tiktok's
it's like when inspiration strikes but sometimes I'm like I don't know it's I'm going through a
I'm in my flop era as the kids would say on tiktok that's okay because as everyone knows after the
biggest flop comes the biggest sleigh so I'm just fighting my time well the issue is is everything
changes every four seconds yes so it's really just about like I mean it's unbelievable how like one
day I mean remember it wasn't even that long ago where I remember like some I was talking to a friend
and she was like you just need to post a video that's like two it's like two second clips of like
what you did in a day or like two seconds is a part of like people just want like a two second
clip all like a million of them put together and I was like what like two second clip and now it's
like that's not even now we're like now nobody cares about like a quick mashup of an event in a
two second thing where before it'd be like whoa it was like pretty an aesthetic yeah now it's like
no we need some we need some what's the next thing it's like I don't know yeah and I do think tiktok
has changed a lot too I think what they're pushing and like what videos are resonating has also
changed so it's all a moving target and it's kind of just like when I start thinking about it too
much I just go back to like I started posting what made me happy and like that's you always have to
use that as your north star it's just like do what makes you happy and like what it will stick for
the people that it should stick to do you want to save money on food this year well every plate is

what was the moment that you realized this was like a going to be like a business for you that
this could be a career like and then what was the first step you took like were you like oh hey i
need a manager did someone reach out to you like i remember okay so my first video was in april of
2020 and then i remember in august amazon reached out and keep in mind i had been making
like two like two hundred dollars or three hundred dollars on an article and that was like my money
for the week or whatever and again doing this and that and they were like we want to pay you
let me get the number right it was like six videos and and i asked my friend who was a he was an
agent and he had like found me and he was like really nice and i was like how much do you think i
should say per video and he said say i said i was thinking to say five hundred dollars a video and
he said say five thousand dollars a video and i was like you're joking like i would never say
that like i'm terrible negotiating and like that's outrageous and he said he said tanks i'm telling
you say five thousand dollars a video and so i was like fuck it and i wrote the email and they were
like okay no problem and i was like oh shit i was like freaking out like if i butchered those numbers
i'm so sorry amazon studios i love you but it was like so much money to me just so everybody knows
amazon like doesn't reach out like like amazon is a very hard company like to work with whatever
the amount of money was i was so shook to my core i was like i can't i can't believe but think about
how much so what people don't realize is like there are like when you when instagram and like
influencer stuff first started you could have a random number that you would put on things because
you were like i'm cool i have value yeah now everything is like clickable and linkable and everything
is fucking down to a number yeah so if you're not like not like performing or people don't like what
you're doing like it's a wrap yeah so like they're willing to give you that much money because that's
like dropping the bucket compared to like what you bring to them yeah yeah whatever you just got
to know your value you know you do whatever the number was for those six videos i thought okay i
can maybe i could do this full time because i was like so blown away it was so much money and then
i went full time january 2021 oh my god yeah and then and then i was like i couldn't and then i got
like a manager who i love and i'm still with and and i got agents and you know all that all the
you're an agent and a manager i like a lot of hand holding oh my god that's so cool and rich
wealthy and sophisticated and percent baby i'm like i'm like i i the thing with me is like for i
love to have like advice and i love to have like security and like i'm structure like i don't do
well when things are i don't like to do things that i'm not good at and i'm very bad at planning and
i'm very bad at negotiating so i'm like the more amazing people that i have around me to do those
things it's like higher for your weaknesses you know so i i love my team and i'm very lucky
what do you think is like your next like platform or like medium well i'm working on some really
cool projects that i can't like every influence or line says that yeah i know i i i'm very excited
about this year because i'm so grateful to be in a place in my career where i can really focus on
like the big things that i want to do so that'll be that'll be this year and and really my podcast
and my radio show are my baby and i really want to get better at them like i think it's an actual
skill that you get better at and so for me it's just like getting those reps in practice
you've done a live show i want to i really want really want to are like little small thing like
we did like you know i'm like a little nothing compared to what you stop for doing and we did
like a little davini did like a little thing in new york and it was the like we literally walked
off the stage and davini had tears in his eyes and he was like that was the most special thing it
looked really cute what was your format how did you how did you were just like city winery and i
love that place yeah i mean what a fucking good idea it's a great venue yeah i know it's great and
it was just like a room full of people and we like sat down and kind of just like shot the
shit and then we had everybody ask questions there was like a game with like really silly questions
and then people got to ask questions cute and like some girls like brought their boyfriends and
then some girls got their moms and like that was really cute and like really funny when there would
be like inappropriate things it just felt like this whole room was bonding together so cute your
relationship with your mom is my favorite thing i like love your content so much like it's evolved
so much and i'm like i love this season this season is unreal it's so cute and i literally was like
being a bitch to my mom earlier today and i thought i literally thought to myself pia would
never be mean to her mom no i i've always been really snappy with her i have a very
sharp quick strong personality yeah and my mom and whole side of the family doesn't which is
funny like she looks like so sweet and gentle wait what i just remembered one more thing
you're gonna die actually i can't remember this is the final this is the final dot in our in our
weird like pre like foreplay friendship i delivered can to your house you
yeah how have you never told me this i just it just came to me again because i think how have you
never know i know i know i because i just remember because i think your sweet mom came out to get it
always gets the yeah yeah i'm 90 yeah she like runs to the door but when it rings she's like so
excited to see you she was she was so sweet and that's why i'm remembering that but that was in 2020
oh before i was an influencer my god yeah because i i was at can i was the celebrity
like liaison and by that i mean i just drove can all over hell like throwing it over famous
people's garages being like you're that's whenever he's like poor i'm clearly like ever
whenever these like people have to drive all the way to Pasadena to deliver me something i'm always
like i'm so sorry do you want any water calm during it was great i i actually loved that because
it was you know i'm nosy and i got to know where all these celebs lived and also i just got to sit in
my car and listen to music which is my favorite thing to do anyway that is so yeah i can't believe i
just remembered that yeah yeah no i do snap at my mom i'm better about it now but she and like
she has a very like she like questions herself or she'll come up like the way that like that
side of the family will want to deliver information to somebody else is with so much fear yeah and i'll
be like why don't you call them and just say we accidentally have two events on the same day right
can we move like i don't what the fuck are you guys doing and so i'll be like god damn it like
there's just keep it moving but now i think like now we've just have such like a nice i don't know
now also this is so weird to stay out loud but like and because she's so beautiful but i see her age
on her more now yeah and i feel like i just want to hold her yeah and be like protect this woman at
all cost right where like even though we've always been really close our relationship has been really
content yeah there's definitely that point when like you start seeing your mom as like you just see
i know exactly what you're talking about and it like happened to me recently too and i'm just like
it's made me be nicer as well like it really shifts you and you're just like i like i don't need
to snap right now like i can just like hug her and just just like this is like this is just
leading and then it'll be fine for everybody totally what do your parents think about your life they're
happy they're so proud of me they're really happy for me i mean you know obviously your family and
friends are the ones who hear like the you know when you're upset and like the pitfalls of it and
whatever but they're so they're just they think it's great they're very happy for me and i miss them
i just i really wish i didn't live so far away so fucking far away from Europe so far it's
fucking insane yeah i hosted them for christmas and it was like such a proud moment for me to have
my family come and and just like again it was your how yeah it's like kind of what we were just
talking about like that moment where you're like oh i'm the adult now like i'm the one who's like
doing that stuff and that was like a scary but proud moment but then also made me really sad and
made me kind of think about you know wanting to move back in the future but at least move to the east
coast i'm closer than our closer yeah yeah should we talk about what it's like to date in l.a. because
it's fucking insane it's insane i mean it's so insane it's it's really really hard and i you know
give so much dating advice that i'm like do you take your own advice i mean does anyone like i do
my best yeah like it's like do as i say not as i do i always tell people like your your city is not
an excuse you know because girls will write to me they're really there no guys in my city and i'm like
there's no excuse except for if you live in l.a. and i'm really sorry to be the bearer of bad news but
like i have lived in london san francisco new york and l.a and l.a is far and away the worst for dating
like it's it's so bad it's bad it's so bad here and i just want everyone to like take a deep breath
in l.a. and be like you're not that important like just because you have 30 000 instagram followers
bro like that doesn't happen anywhere else it's not like no people in new york don't act like that
like even really like famous rich cool people in new york don't have the attitude problem that they
the l.a. people do i was at airwon once and there's this guy i i know that he had like some followers on
instagram and he ordered some fucking fuck off dumb drink at the okay this was the craziest l.a.m i
remember being like i hate it here this dude he had like long hair like the way people dress here
it's like i want everyone to express themselves but when you're dressing clearly for attention yeah
and you're wearing like a ripped tank top that like goes out your hip bone no and like then you
get in your fancy car yeah like it's just you're just showing off you're just begging for someone
to talk to you you're dying and then oh my god who's the guy who played ari manuall on jeremy pivin
okay so jeremy pivin's at the fucking at the bar and then this guy so some guy walks up to jeremy
pivin as he's waiting for his fucking tonic and goes jeremy big fan would love to know any advice
you have for an actor in all that he was trying to break into the business and the whole fucking
zone went quiet and i was like no he didn't and then this fucking dick tard who i couldn't he was
so thinks he's so famous he's has like it's just hard for me when it's like people just show off
this weird lifestyle where it's like nothing is positive nothing is like how do we here's what
i'm doing and here's my work there's just no purpose other than like show off yeah but what
really killed me is he ordered a drink and instead of asking for stevia he asks for sativa
which is a strain of weed and he was like yeah i'll get it with the with this with this sativa
like i like the vanilla sativa and then everyone started like looking at him and i was like this
is the funniest little it's a walking over her delay yeah of and that's why over a her delay
exist because it's an endless zone i mean you must be it must be very easy for you to be here too
because every time you leave the house you just must be like here is so much content for me to rip
off of so much content it is it's so it's so wild it and it's really like that and it's like i just
this is why you can't meet a nice guy in a supermarket yeah you can't it's not here not here not here
la is an amazing place if you have a great group of friends and if you have a boyfriend or a family
like it's it's wonderful and i just like i think it's very very nice in venice
yeah yeah there's more like venice there's more like optional people there who have like jobs and
like you know enjoy nature and like a sort of thing and stuff yeah there is that but it's like
yes i think on the west side there's more of that for sure what were you doing when you were single
like where would you was there like a place you'd go or where you want apps i i would meet people i
guess i've had i guess this is my third boyfriend since i've moved to l.a. and and he actually lives in
new york but the two before lived here and they i don't i met them through friends new scoundrel
you've got to meet people through friends people need to start getting asked to be set up i literally
just did a podcast episode called how to be set up and how to set people up because i think it is
truly like we were saying before like the most human thing like if you're married if you're in a
relationship do something nice for your friend think about it and it's like i actually think it's
better if it's like a slightly less good friend like your best friend it's hard you wait too much
you're too in it you would have thought of it already but like your tier two tier three friends
maybe someone you work with you know whatever you're so good about looking at a real life scenario
and just breaking it down so perfectly just why why they pay you the big bucks to do this
because truly you're like here's the equation a great tier two tier three friends yeah that's true
all the all of my setups have been from friends who are like on that level and they've been great
i've had several boyfriends from setups that's how to do it or even better yet throw a dinner party
if you think to be a little vibe invite them over it's sexy it's so fun like i think i'm very about
like you should want all the people in your proximity to be like happy and having sex and
like having a good time like if you can be the cause of someone going on a fun date and like
having a fun night that's really good energy. Bruggable makes machine washable non-slip and

Davi Day was with one of his single friends and this guy made eyes with a girl and she like said
something to him and one of our other he was like in the guy group chat about her and then one of
the guys found her Instagram account and Davi Day DM'd her oh my god i was like hi i was with my
friend at this thing and you guys had a moment and like because the guy doesn't have Instagram
and he's like he doesn't have Instagram and like i really like i i i saw a tweet he and he and they
ended up going on some dates and Davi Day felt like he had like won the Super Bowl. No because it's
the best feeling and it's so nice. By the way i feel like your house would be a number one spot to
meet someone. No because there's not it's like so many people who fucking know each other. Yeah yeah
but that's why it's so alluring is that it feels like it's like a tv show. No we're starting to like
now people will like bring someone else. Yeah yeah it's cool i still want to come to a party at your
house. You're invited to all of them. Okay you've been busy. I know. I know now i think about like
i have like some friends like i have like here my you know guys that are single here my girls that
are single but like there's not like enough i know i get it i need to like write it down in my phone.
So that's one thing i said is that i i know a couple people who keep a list of single guys and
single girls on their phone and it's like so cool and i i recently like before i met my boyfriend i
like that met this cool guy and he he was like oh let me look at my list and he brought it out and
it was like all famous people and i was like oh my god and i was like can i pick and he was like no
no that's not how this works. What's been a moment in the last three years where you were in a situation
and you were like oh my fucking god like i'm here right now in this room with these people or like
did you meet someone that was just like mind blowing like i mean i think that going to the Oscars was
like or you know where we were was pretty crazy like any red carpet i'm still like this is insane.
I think oh god it's so many i mean meeting celebrities yeah has been fun and cool but like they're all
so nice like they're just so like when we interviewed Gwyneth Paltrow for that you know
she's like the coolest nicest person and just makes it feel so easy. I know all these TikToks about
celebrities that are mean i was thinking about doing one about but i don't want to do it but like
about celebrities that are really nice yeah because there's so many i mean like i don't know
having my own ice cream sundae at crags makes me really happy that was like cool and fucking insane
dude. What's in it by the way? Every type of ice cream. I haven't been to crags and whipped cream.
I love whipped cream. All the good things. Okay people wrote in some questions. I'm excited.
I mean people have never been more excited than to hear that you were coming on the podcast.
Okay any advice for moving across seas? I've been wanting to move to London after graduation.
I think it's great. I think do it. I'm a big big pressure of moving when you're young when you don't
have any responsibilities and it's scary and the thing about moving is it takes a full year to get
adjusted. So exactly one year. Do not. It took me a year to like New York. I was very depressed.
It's one full calendar year and if you have any fun before that then you're amazing and
consider to win but don't stress about it before a year because it's such a jarring experience but
you should absolutely do it and then you look back and those are the years that you grow the most.
So it's true. Go for it. Live in Marla Bohn. That's the fun area for kids. Oh cool. Young kids.
Did you really date Diplo or is it just a running joke? It's my favorite running joke.
It's we are not dating anymore. We went on some dates. You know we're friends. Did you really?
Yeah we went on a date. He's so hot. I manifested that man. I manifested my friendship with him.
Now we're pals. We're pals. He showed up to my OPA launch party and like
hopped on in DJ like which was so cool and I was like behind the booth because it was like
my party but he didn't realize it was like he was just kind of like who's this girl here and I was
like oh my god like is this the night that I get to finally hook up with Diplo. Like this is like
you know it's like literally like the biggest sign of my life and like I was really good friends
as Virgil so he's there. They're high-fiving and I'm dancing next to them and I'm like oh my god
and then Diplo like puts his arm around me and I'm like oh my god this is it and he goes
hey do you know that girl and like points this up girl. Oh my god. And I was like
no Diplo I don't. He's so fun. We're friends. He's a riot and it's such a fun guy. It's great
content. Great content. It's fucking great fucking content. What would you do if your
mother-in-law hates you? That would be really tough. Yeah I gosh I think you have to set boundaries
and I think that you have to be kind and then draw a line in the sand and like create boundaries.
Like if you're married and you're like you're in it then the only thing to do is to have restrictions
for yourself and say okay I'm not going to put myself in that situation. Like if that if that
means like a difficult conversation with your partner saying you know it's too much for me to
go to the holidays at your house because of this relationship then do it. I just think that I
think so often women have really really hard time setting boundaries up front and then they become
very resentful and they're the ones who end up getting hurt. Totally. So I'm all about just saying
like no I actually like I can't do Thanksgiving at your mom's house like as you remember last time
was really tough we had that fight and I'm going to be really upset and so can we you know go over
there for lunch and then and then spend our time somewhere else and like set those boundaries and
if your partner isn't validating you and hearing you in those situations then you've got a bigger
problem. How to deal with one friend in a large friend group who seems to not like you.
Oh god that is just giving me that icky feeling. Yeah it's so awful. It's
you know not everyone is going to like you and it's just so hard like I could give kind of like
an airy airy answer for this but like at the end of the day it's really hard if you're in a friend
group when one person is just like not in the you. I mean I would honestly
I would say something. I would say something yeah I would just sit down and be like hey did I do
something to piss you off like we're in the same friend group I'm you know I really like you or I
want to get to let get to know you like is there something up and if they don't extend and half
an olive branch back then like fuck them. Yeah and then you're free to say fuck them. And then
you're free so yeah always always ask like don't be passive aggressive just just ask. Also you could
be making up so much of it in your head or totally make it up in your head totally get it over with.
Yeah can we get a breakdown of the their lives get worse or they come back theory.
The amount of theories that you have are so fucking epic. Okay so I have this thing like men
always come back or their lives get worse and it's called the clause and you the way that you
activate the clause is like it's specifically for my hope your next project is yours a book or a
fucking TV show. I need to put all these down somewhere but like it should be a guide.
A guide like a little handbook. A little handbook. An app.
And what 5%? So it's specifically when you get like clowned by a guy like ghosted or like he
dumps you in a really like bad way or whatever what you do is you completely cut them from your
mind. You focus on yourself you start going on your rich mom walks you're drinking your green
juice you're going out with your friends you're having a blast. Do you have advice for that I
mean it's really hard to get someone out of your brain but you have to just an active switch off
all day. You have to yes you have to work at it you have to replace that thought and you have to
stop checking on them because I think so like one of the worst afflictions we have is like
checking on people now you know you have breakup with them and you're just like well what are they
doing are they going to that and when you truly have like rid that bridge yourself of them and it
might take a while like when you are literally at the point of the Taylor Swift song I forgot that
they existed then you look up and you're like either they come back like either you are working so
hard on yourself and in six months you get that text and it's like hey how are you or you look
and you're just like oh and it's like their lives got worse because you're not in it and it's a little
mystical it's a little woo woo like if you don't get it you need to you're probably in the thick of
it still yeah and sometimes people are like um it tanks it's been three months and he hasn't come
back in his life hasn't gotten worse and I'm like it takes way longer because you're checking on him
you've got to stop you have to rid yourself of them and then you'll see that this was actually a
blessing I love that oh I took me a long time to stop checking on multiple of my ex-boyfriends
I only have three ex-boyfriends but like I just like always wanted to know what they were doing and
then once I stopped I was like oh wait like ew I'm free yeah you're free and then you're better off
I was doing it to myself which was like yeah so fucked up okay well end with the last question
which I really love which is what advice do you wish someone gave you a 29?
At 29 I wish someone had been had to honestly said stop worrying I wish someone had said stop
worrying so much worrying like so much worrying I'm 32 have you frozen your eggs no you want to
you know I think I'm gonna pass I think I'm not gonna do it I've weighed the pros and cons I know
it's an amazing thing and I think for me I would I think it would I did a podcast about this I feel
I'm just not in a place of doing it I am fudging my words but I just I don't it's not right for me
like I don't and I and I should I think that's I think everybody thinks that they need you yeah and
totally okay not it I think I told you last time we had dinner I was like I you know I was freaked
out because I got this call from my doctor and she was saying like you know whatever egg count
thing is like low and it might be really hard for you to get pregnant like naturally and she was
like you you should freeze your eggs now and I I thought about it and I thought about it and
like really just shoot it over and I just felt resentful which I know is a weird word to use
but I felt resentful that I was having to make this choice at this time and I just it's not that's
not a like useful emotion to have but that's what I felt like I felt like why should I sit here I felt
like that when they told me that I would never be able to have my own child because my numbers were
so bad yeah I just felt like gosh all the 32 year old guys out there who are just getting
started in their their careers and like really loving life and that's where you are like just
a dream they don't have to deal with this and I felt annoyed at that and then I thought you know
I really believe that your body listens to you and if I go into this like you know huffing and
puffing and being like god damn it like I'm not gonna get the outcome and also like I think that
a lot of people think it's easy and it's just like oh you like take some shots and then they like wave
a magic wand and it's like a big procedure I'm very sensitive in my body and I just
I will figure it out however I need to when it comes time to that and I and I understand
and I never used to think that I would be open to adoption and in the past year I've really
changed my mind on that yeah so if I wake up when I'm 36 and it's difficult I will
explore my options then but this isn't right for me I'm so so glad it's an option for so many
women and I just have the utmost respect for anyone who does it and for the doctors who provide the
service but it's just it's not right for me so I'm gonna see how it goes I just want all the listeners
to know that you look fantastic and I can't believe you haven't what day is it 27th or 26th
you haven't had a drink in 27 days I know and you do this every year I do it every year yes
sometimes I do it for like six weeks seven weeks and whoa yeah but I really really like to drink
and I and I probably always will and I and I told you before we went on air I'm like your parents
not like me no they're not really like such a culture for my parents and like their friends
drink so much yeah I mean we had like happy hour and whatever but they're not like
drinkers yeah and but again like they grew up in like really small towns in Michigan and me and my
brother were raised in London so we were like drinking at the pub when we were 16 it's a very
different drinking culture so and I think that has a lot to do with like my drinking and like how I
I'm like of course we're gonna have a glass of wine after dinner like after work or whatever so
but yeah it's like cyclical it's girls who are younger than me the sooner you realize that you
basically just lose and gain the same 10 pounds and you're either I mean you're you're tiny and

I've never felt better and I look and they were all like glowing and everyone's like
Finn and I was like they're like are you doing it and I was like no and just like David and I were
like in the corner drinking our cocktails and I was like god damn it the discipline that everybody
has to not drink for a month is really admirable but I'm so extreme I'm like I'm either like four
martinis or I'm like doing dry January like I there so it's my time and I do it's it's sadly it is good

it takes three months to feel the effect yeah we see the effects yeah I love my parallel that's
like and it's what she's someone who is pregnant like yeah so parallel and just real fatty 15 I
die for I love you influence me to one out of a child I was like remember when I met you I was
like should I do it you were like yeah and I was like okay I'll do it like she's now entering her
tantrum stage and it's been a fucking nightmare so I'm gonna sit back on that one for a second and
one of our friends who has been single and doesn't have a kid or she like just got out of a like
long relationship that she thought was gonna be it it and you know I had Carmella a lot of our
friends that her best friend already has two kids and then like two of our friends got pregnant at
the same time and she was just like are you fucking kidding me yeah and like went through baby FOMO
like big time and was like me be able to do it by myself like maybe I'll do this and like now
she's like on vacation and like didn't have like she can work from anywhere and like
was like went on a trip with a friend and then like is going to meet another friend in New York
and then is like going to Paris afterwards and I was like you know what this pressure to have a kid
because all your quote unquote friends are having kids I'm gonna tell you this yeah wait to see
how many of those marriages fucking stay intact when that kid gets fucking older because this like
idea that like your friends are getting married and buying houses and having kids is a fucking
made up it's made up and being single and thriving are like what everyone on the other side wants to
do totally like whatever your path is your fucking path but like you have to just live your path and
like timelines are made up I always tell my followers that and it's like at the end of the day like
you have to just there is no a header behind you're on your own path and when you look back when
you're 99 you're not gonna be like I wish I had a kid at 29 and not 33 it's like who cares who cares
and also it's like your friends I know it's difficult when your friends are in different life stages
than you but like they're still your friends and it ebbs and flows and new things come in and you've
just got to just do just follow your path comparison is a thief of joy it's a thief of joy I saw on
TikTok this guy asks you know there's a minute with one of the guys that asked strangers questions
on the street and it was an older woman she was like I saw it is it is it that she said don't settle
down earlier yes yes I saw that one too 72 she's like I don't know why everybody's rushed to have
a mortgage and have kids yeah like and I'm sure this woman has like very adult children and
probably some grandchildren she was like I wish I lived more life yeah she was like she said do
everything when you're young and I was like oh that's so nice yeah I mean I'm 36 and just had a
baby like yeah to some people that's really old but like my mom had me at 37 yeah and like
people are having fucking kids into their 40s and 50s if Hillary swank is literally pregnant with
twins at 49 50 year old woman looking great looking fantastic yeah because it's like
I'm talking about this with my midwife once like she was like the age thing is so insane like
people like 20 30 years ago weren't taking care of themselves like the way that people take care
of themselves now yeah so like everyday people are like waking up and popping up like people
drinking like Diet Coke yeah and like eating like 100 calories snack packs and like eating low fat
everything like there's like it was just like we don't you know whatever like there was no baseline
for like real nutrition and like now we just know so much more yeah and we treat ourselves better
yeah we're hopefully a lot of us on our mental health what do you do for your mental health
I have a therapist that I I'm literally so obsessed with her I literally talk to her every week I text
her I journal every morning okay that's before we go give me that breakdown you wake up and what
do you do oh the morning routine okay so I wake up and recently I have started tongue scraping oh it's
so good it's so good you guys I literally am obsessed with it it's like my I'm so so into it it makes
my mouth feel so clean then I it's really unattractive so don't do it in front of your
partner it's really ugly and gross I watch the other day go every morning and it gives me the
egg it's so good um so I do that and then I like be cut like I have a very big morning routine and
then I brush my teeth and then I immediately chug an entire thing of room temperature water
because I read that Cameron Diaz does that yeah yeah yeah like I have these little things like I
think that I just did it on Ellen yes I remember and she like and I read her body book like I read
all that shit you guys so I feel like I've remembered and kept all the best things of all those like you
know tricks and so then I dry brush and I'm very into it I literally love it so much I have to
shit every morning or I can't like leave my bathroom like a half to immediately like I need to do it
I don't that doesn't my body doesn't work like that I just have to and I used to have a big phobia
of talking about it but now I'm like I've said everyone else everyone else yeah and also like if
you don't have a squatty potty like literally what are you doing with your life like I need
one I have a bamboo one and it's like it's ugly in my bathroom and I don't care but it doesn't
matter because the bathroom isn't need to be like yes exactly and then I don't wash my face in the
morning I Erin Foster said that on her stories she said that she heard it from someone and I
believed her immediately I don't wash my face in the morning either because of someone because
I just I remember Erin Foster being like yeah and then this one no I just I just put on a little
extra more skincare and I do skincare on my chest because it's like so wrinkly because I love to tan
and like in the sun not in the bed and then I journal then I do the journal then I make my
breakfast like I'm such a breakfast person I need it and then I like feed my cats would you
breakfast right now I'm on an oatmeal kick yeah I love it hyper fixation meal hyper fixation meal
either oatmeal or it'll be like two jammy eggs on like an Ella's flat with a little hot sauce
Ella's flat crack crack and family owned like they're like wonderful cute little people in Florida
and like I love them so much they're coming out with a spicy flavor no I really really it's I love
that you have the up on fucking Ella's flat I love them I love them so much or I'll do a smoothie and
then once I now I'm waiting an hour to have coffee per daddy Huberman that's sexy man and I try to
go on a walk every morning because it's like really good Andrew Huberman says to get fresh air
and like yeah apparently fantastic and then I like then I I try to wait as long as possible to
not look at my phone like I'm really trying this year but like how long do you wait I try to do
like I'm up to like 30 minutes whoa I'm trying I'm trying it's so difficult for me I have like
full-blown photo diction and I and I and you've talked about that on your podcast too and like
I have the same thing where I'm like I really just like because of stuff that's happened and
whatever I just I'm like oh you need to make sure that the world didn't implode yeah and like
but I'm trying very hard to do 30 minutes on each end like before I go to bed and before and when
I wake up just like you read a book or do you journal like I journal and I do oh oh at night I
try to read and even like I know that some people will balk at this but I even prefer if I put my
phone away and then I watch TV for half an hour because it's like still your brain is kind of like
reliving saying looking at so much information yeah and I just like need to spend less time on
Instagram and TikTok like I really don't I just it's not a good place to be so so yeah and then
I like talk to my cats a lot I'm like the way you are with dogs I'm with cats and like I love that
about growing up I just like animals are the best and all my cats have gotten eaten by coyotes in
our neighborhood I can't get them again yeah well now look at you know my dogs your dogs are so
funny and like do you think I have a broken the this is that for one of your dogs cheechy I was
working out this morning and he got all excited and he's never done this far I can see his face
like it was like I was like one of my little baby and he just fucking like jumped into me and his
mouth hit my mouth they're so cute and I went like this and I was like there's fucking blood
do the dogs sleep in the bed with you every night yeah wow let me scream at some point
Dovidic it's really income really get off off off off off until they get off and then they
reluctantly get off and then five minutes they're so cute so it's cheechy and Nutella and Nina and
Nina's like old and deaf and sleeps with my mom but she pops up in the morning for a quick oh my
god do your cats get a lot yeah well the one is a baby that I just rescued so like it was a tough
it's hard to integrate two cats it was hard but now now it's getting better and I mean I like
it was the new cat's name me so oh yeah me so and so I love each I love each I love each so much and
they just have brought so much joy and I can't wait until I have a big farm and I can just like
foster and rescue all of them and it just be so all I'd aim all of us are saying this and we just
need to get a bunch of people together to pool the like money for said farm and like actually
hire somebody who knows what they're doing and then we can show up there all the time and like
help bring dogs in and then like network the dogs like I think we should I think we should buy like
a big commune in Santa Barbara like a like with cool we don't have Santa Barbara money maybe we
can go a little sound well we can get a carpenter we can have a winery
and like you could cook for us
you're you're you're I mean you're on track for Santa Barbara money I'm like I'm like south of
Ventura no it will be so great like I you know we're all just wanting to have a more simple
way it's like so cute really at its core like all of us are just like I just want to be on a farm
with animals yeah we're all but by the way this is an idea here we can you know I forever but like
Dabadi always tells us like Italian story of this like man fishing and like someone comes to him and
he's like you know you own this part of this whatever and like you could sell these fish and
like make a company and then he keeps asking questions he's like well then what do I do and
he's like well then you get like 10 trucks and then the trucks will they're official to the city and
then you could hire all these employees and you can manage the employees and he's like them what
and then what and then it ended with him being like and then you can retire and spend all your
days here fishing and he's like I'm doing that now so like I don't mean to like all of us just
like want to be on the farm but like really we could just choose to go to the farm I know I know I know
but you know what I would brand to the farm and make a product from the farm of course of course
I'd be like rich mom started back farm and it should
full what would those stupid outfits be would be like rich mom it would be like no it would be like
dough and dressers. Dough is always in the wheat field uh dough and like a hundred
boots like stupid
and we'd grow the things we'd grow up you would be cooking you'd be fucking frying shit up and that
piece on me too. Yeah. So my forever tyrant went. All right thank you. Usually end of this with
