  SPEAKER_03: So you're good, you're so amazing and so engaging.
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_03: I thank you.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_03: There's no words.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_03: Like I laugh so hard.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_03: And my niece, who was on the show, Bella got to meet.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_03: We will go down your whole feed, like just laughing.
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_03: We're like, the taco building.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_03: I cried my eyes out laughing.
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_00: Oh my gosh, that's so funny.
• 11:21
  SPEAKER_03: And then all the like endorsements started coming, or well, not to say without chasing them.
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, amen.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_00: But yes, they did, and and it's just been crazy.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_00: And I think just I it it's I just really can't put it into words because every day, even though we've been doing this for two years now, or the social media thing for two years, I I was in the grocery store yesterday, and people are screaming, stopping their cars, putting their head out the window, yelling, and I'm like, I'm like, this is I mean, I was like, this is nuts.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_00: That's so beautiful to see.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_00: It's so beautiful.
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_00: To see the impact that you have on people to stop you, and it's never just like, oh, you drink too much.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_00: It's like, you are such a lie, and you bring us so much laughter.
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_00: And that makes you never want to stop.
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_00: Because if you do that for people, like I mean, there's no better feeling.
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_03: There is no better feeling than moving people from what you do.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_00: Absolutely, because there's people I watch on the internet because I go through dark times.
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_00: I'm a human too.
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_00: Absolutely.
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_00: I go to certain people's profiles to look to get to bring that laughter and light to myself.
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_00: So if I can do that same thing that other creators have done for me and I know what that feeling is, it's just beautiful.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm just so blessed and so thankful.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_03: What's your secret sauce?
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_00: I have tons of people.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_00: And listen, here's the thing I don't think there's any secret sauce.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_00: This is what it boils down to.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_00: You either have it or you don't.
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_00: And you can work really hard at it and do that, but but I think there's some people, and this is just how I feel about it, and I'm just being honest.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_00: I think you just you you you can wake up and try it every day, but I think you just have to be vulnerable, you have to not be afraid, you have to really be able to do it.
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it takes a lot of courage.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_00: You do, and you have to just throw stuff at the wall.
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_00: And I it's not to say I think anybody could do it, but but for it to come across genuine, you have to just be a genuine human.
• 13:06
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, okay.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_00: Or else they can smell through it.
• 13:09
  SPEAKER_00: People are so sick and tired of seeing the glossy, the pretty, the this or that.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_00: They want to know something they can relate to because the world is dark, it's hard right now.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_00: It is, yeah.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_03: So people have very pivotal time in history.
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_00: They do, so they want to be able to relate to.
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_00: If you're out of touch, they don't want to see what you've got or what you have or what you can afford.
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_00: Because most people can't.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_00: So the best thing you can do is I think be honest and genuine, and that's how you break into it.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_00: And that's what I do every single day.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_00: But some like it, some don't, but I'm me.
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_00: So right.
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_03: I think it's so beautiful because you so, you know, because I got to meet you in person before.
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_03: And it's it is such a version of you.
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_03: Like, I can tell that you get a a rush of energy from having people around you that that are fun and loving and funny, and the story between the two of you is incredible.
• 13:58
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 13:58
  SPEAKER_03: Like that you're total besties.
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_03: I think it's so amazing.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_03: And I feel bad for it sometimes.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_03: Can I tell you the candle shit over Thanksgiving?
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_03: I thought I was gonna pee in my pants.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_03: The which one?
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_03: The candles over Thanksgiving are like, they don't even Yankee candles don't even smell anymore.
• 14:13
  SPEAKER_03: I'm like, oh my god, it's so true.
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_03: I can't say that.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_00: I love candles.
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_00: A lot of people don't know that, but I love candles too.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_03: I do.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_00: I have like five candles going in my apartment at all times.
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, me too.
• 14:23
  SPEAKER_03: First thing I do, I wake up and I light a candle.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, you have to.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_00: My apartment has to smell a certain way, has to look a certain way.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_00: And I love spending my money at TJ Maxx.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_00: I will spend some home goods.
• 14:33

  SPEAKER_03: So tell me about Vegas.
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_03: You got out there.
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_03: What was it like to be face to face with JLo?
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_00: I think I almost used the bathroom in my pants.
• 14:50
  SPEAKER_00: And like I'm like, well, my God.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_00: Like, here's the thing.
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_00: Totally.
• 14:54
  SPEAKER_00: Here's the thing.
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_00: I loved and love Jennifer Lopez.
• 15:00
  SPEAKER_00: Whenever I was a child, my grandmother would watch Selena with me.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_00: We would watch Selena.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_00: And then I would watch Monster in Law, Maiden Manhattan all of her movies, and then I fell in love with her music.
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_00: My mom would be black and Jenny from the Black.
• 15:14
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, you know, it is the best phrase ever.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_00: So to come, first of all, to have that person who is like a huge, huge megastar.
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_00: Like you just don't get in touch.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_00: She's a household name.
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_00: Like people know who she's like.
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_00: It loves me.
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's new.
• 15:29
  SPEAKER_00: Reach out to me, and then I come face to face with her.
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_00: It's just almost like, how did I get here?
• 15:37
  SPEAKER_00: It's almost like an out-of-body experience.
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_00: To where it's just like, I mean, I I still just look at the pictures in the video and I'm just like, because she collaborated with me on a post.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_00: So I officially did a collaboration with Jennifer Lopez.
• 15:51
  SPEAKER_00: That's unbelievable.
• 15:52
  SPEAKER_00: And if you would have asked me 10 years ago, I would have come apart.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_00: If 10-year-old Gage knew what 29-year-old Gage was doing, he would throw up.
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_00: He would be so excited.
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_00: Poor thing.
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_00: I'm glad he didn't know.
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_00: He didn't know.
• 16:07
  SPEAKER_03: Now she has a residency there.
• 16:08
  SPEAKER_03: She's doing right?
• 16:10
  SPEAKER_00: She's coming back in March.

• 16:16
  SPEAKER_03: It's classy.
• 16:17
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 16:18
  SPEAKER_00: It's everything you could ever want from a J-Lo show.
• 16:20
  SPEAKER_03: Because they, I mean, those are not cheap internships.
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_03: They get the best of the best.
• 16:24
  SPEAKER_03: And they put a ton of money into it.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_00: And she did fabulous.
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_00: I'm hoping to go back and see her.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_00: I messaged her manager and was like, so March.
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_03: Is she ready for coffee tomorrow?
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_03: So you just went back, you went back, and was that to do another J-Lo thing or just to go back to Vegas?
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_00: So us going back to Vegas was just to kind of like, I didn't get to experience it the first time.
• 16:45
  SPEAKER_00: So I was like, I really want to like get to see Vegas because people are like, that's where you need to be, that's where you need to be.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_00: I would be wore the hell out if that's where I was at all the time.
• 16:54
  SPEAKER_03: But that city's on all the time.
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_00: But we actually really spread it out.
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_00: We got to collaborate with a lot of different restaurants there.

  SPEAKER_00: We I I'll tell you what the best part of Vegas is that maybe people don't know about.

  SPEAKER_00: Because people want to go party and this and that.
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_00: But the shows are incredible.

  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.

• 18:06
  SPEAKER_00: It's kind of new.
• 18:08
  SPEAKER_00: Um but I had stumbled in to this Taco Bell and I ordered a Baja Blast, and they're like, Do you want tequila in that?
• 18:16
  SPEAKER_00: I go, do I want tequila?
• 18:18
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 18:18
  SPEAKER_03: Is that even an option?
• 18:19
  SPEAKER_00: I said, pour it up, pour it up.
• 18:22
  SPEAKER_00: In the words of Rihanna, pour it up, pour it up.
• 18:25
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_00: They did, and before I knew it, I was throwing my back out at the bars.
• 18:30
  SPEAKER_00: Oh my gosh.
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_00: So that is so funny.
• 18:33
  SPEAKER_00: And then so that video just went insane.
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, it's a good one.

  SPEAKER_00: Paris Hilton liked it.
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_00: Courtney Kardashian commented on it.

  SPEAKER_00: Tina Turk.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that's great.
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_00: So then, you know, the Taco Bell thing happened, and that's kind of whenever it really started to get big.
• 19:21
  SPEAKER_00: And then I was like, okay, so there's something to this Taco Bell thing.
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_00: So let's move on over to Chili's.
• 19:26
  SPEAKER_00: And let's move on to Applebee's.
• 19:27
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_00: And then it was just like boom, boom, boom.
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_00: And then it just turned into this.
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_00: And like right now, even I'm hitting, you know, a spike in my content.
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_00: It's so good.
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_00: It's just like it never, it hasn't stopped.
• 19:40
  SPEAKER_00: There's been slow moments where I've thought, oh, well, it's over.
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_00: I'm done.
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_00: Oh right.
• 19:44
  SPEAKER_03: Well, you're always like, because it's such a high that when you write, coming down is hard.
• 19:49
  SPEAKER_03: Artists, you guys know this.
• 19:51
  SPEAKER_03: When the show's over, you're like, well, now I'm by myself.
• 19:53
  SPEAKER_03: It is like that.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_00: That's something I'm trying to I am trying to navigate because I'm already like this so much.
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, me too.
• 19:59
  SPEAKER_00: And and when and that really does like affect to go to get that.
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_00: Absolutely.
• 20:04
  SPEAKER_00: And then be brought right back down.
• 20:06
  SPEAKER_00: So navigating.
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_03: That is the thing that most artists struggle with the most.
• 20:10
  SPEAKER_03: Well, that's being that high, and then the low causes anxiety and depression.
• 20:15
  SPEAKER_00: The most.
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_00: And it really does.
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_00: It totally does.
• 20:17
  SPEAKER_00: And it's something that I'm really I've I've been dealing with.
• 20:20
  SPEAKER_00: And and I I never really thought that that would happen.
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, oh gosh, I finally have this platform, I'll be happy all the time.
• 20:26
  SPEAKER_00: But but it's not happy all the time.
• 20:28
  SPEAKER_00: It's really not.
• 20:29
  SPEAKER_00: And you have to find other ways to feed your soul for when that happens.
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_03: That's such a such a topic of the day, right?
• 20:36
  SPEAKER_03: Is that when people see you on social media, you know, it's fun, it's funny, uh, it's like, oh my god, what is he?
• 20:44
  SPEAKER_03: I have to know what you and Bell are doing every week, and I'm like, I gotta do a social media check and see what my friends are up to.
• 20:48
  SPEAKER_03: But I think people don't realize that, right?
• 20:51
  SPEAKER_03: Because it's always they forget that we're humans.
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 20:54
  SPEAKER_03: And there's human problems and there's human emotions.
• 20:57
  SPEAKER_00: Absolutely.
• 20:58
  SPEAKER_03: And it, you know, there is a lot of times when you're in this kind of industry, you you gotta put a brave face on.
• 21:03
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and you just part of your job.
• 21:05
  SPEAKER_00: You just have to show up.
• 21:06
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, even when you don't feel like showing up, you can just show up and put the small one.
• 21:10
  SPEAKER_00: So the ups and downs of it all can be can be pretty rough.
• 21:14
  SPEAKER_03: It can it totally can.
• 21:15
  SPEAKER_00: But I just tell myself, well, we're just gonna keep fabulous.
• 21:19
  SPEAKER_00: We're just gonna yes, I'm fabulous.
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_00: It's just I I just keep trucking, and I'm like, I'm gonna show you.
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_03: And that's all you have to do.
• 21:24
  SPEAKER_03: That's all you have to do, is one step in foot of the other all the other time.
• 21:27
  SPEAKER_03: Like that's so amazing.
• 21:28
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, does it blow how many followers do you have on Instagram?
• 21:31
  SPEAKER_00: On Instagram, I have 246,000, and on TikTok I have 230,000.
• 21:39
  SPEAKER_00: So almost half a million altogether, I think.
• 21:43
  SPEAKER_00: It's it's back beyond.
• 21:45
  SPEAKER_00: And I just I just look at it sometimes and I'm like, I lay in bed and I'm just back.
• 21:51
  SPEAKER_00: Wow.
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_00: Like, how did I get here?

• 21:56
  SPEAKER_03: What's the great have you ever received a compliment that you were just like blowing?
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_03: Blown off your feet.
• 22:02
  SPEAKER_00: Wow, that's deep.
• 22:03
  SPEAKER_00: Let me think.
• 22:04
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, there's so many.
• 22:06
  SPEAKER_00: I've gotten handwritten letters that have told me how much I've affected their lives and how whenever they're going that they maybe they've lost a parent or a loved one and they turn to my content to make them laugh.
• 22:16
  SPEAKER_00: And those kind of those comments just always hit me so hard.
• 22:20
  SPEAKER_00: I almost have to like walk away and have a moment by myself with that kind of thing.
• 22:23
  SPEAKER_03: Well, I have to give you a compliment.
• 22:24
  SPEAKER_03: So my dog, you know, our dogs are like our lives, right?
• 22:27
  SPEAKER_03: You know, her name is Lola because she's a damn show girl, she rocks.
• 22:31
  SPEAKER_03: She got really sick, and we thought you were gonna lose her.

  SPEAKER_03: And we were sitting in the waiting room, my husband and I, and I was scrolling through your feed like just to laugh.
• 22:38

  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 28:50
  SPEAKER_03: And it's such a beautiful but and mine came from I was an abused child, and my father was an alcoholic.

  SPEAKER_03: It was worth the hours in school, it was worth the money, it was worth everything.
• 29:10

  SPEAKER_00: I wouldn't know what to do, I wouldn't know how to do anything else.
• 29:20
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 29:21
  SPEAKER_00: It's like it's been my purpose since ever I was a kid.
• 29:23
  SPEAKER_00: And my dad would always say, Gate, why don't you um why don't you get a nine-to-five job?
• 29:28
  SPEAKER_00: Why don't you do this, like to secure income, this and that?
• 29:31
  SPEAKER_00: I said, I'm gonna go ahead and let you know that I'm never going to do that because I will never be happy.
• 29:36
  SPEAKER_00: And I will absolutely self-sabotage myself into the ground if you force me into a box, whatever I'm meant to do more.
• 29:43
  SPEAKER_00: And I feel like I need a message, I need to I have a purpose for being here.
• 29:46
  SPEAKER_00: Absolutely.
• 29:47
  SPEAKER_00: And working in a nine-to-five job is not that purpose.
• 29:49
  SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna tell you, I feel sorry.
• 29:51
  SPEAKER_03: Who snaps for that is right.
• 29:52
  SPEAKER_03: And I can tell you, people, I when my friends say like they work an office job, I'm like, that would be like being in prison for me.
• 29:59
  SPEAKER_03: First of all, I'd have a hard time working for somebody else.
• 30:02
  SPEAKER_03: I've always worked just for myself.
• 30:04
  SPEAKER_03: So, which you know, when you're in the boss, you get to do what you want.
• 30:08
  SPEAKER_03: But I I also think it's like that's like a that's like a prison sentence.
• 30:12
  SPEAKER_00: It is.
• 30:12
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, it's a prison sentence.
• 30:14
  SPEAKER_00: You know, and I'm not to hate on anyone who that's what they do, and that's what they're doing.
• 30:18
  SPEAKER_00: You know, we need that.
• 30:19
  SPEAKER_00: We totally need it.
• 30:20
  SPEAKER_00: And it would just absolutely, it would just hinder me.

  SPEAKER_00: And I just I could never do it.
• 30:25
  SPEAKER_00: And you know, coming from a town of 3,000 people, it was either you're gonna be a teacher, a farmer, or you're gonna open up a little restaurant on the corner and where we're gonna sell the best damn pie with the best damn coffee you can have.

• 32:10
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, he was a force, an energy force.

  SPEAKER_00: I will get Tyrion.
• 36:31
  SPEAKER_00: This is not an emotional human being.
• 36:32
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, Sam, I saw a Subaru commercial on the Wayland.
• 36:35
  SPEAKER_00: I was at the um Los Angeles, or Los Angeles, Las Vegas, not LA, but the Las Vegas uh airport, and I was gonna be late for my flight.
• 36:44
  SPEAKER_00: I had like 10 minutes to get to my flight.
• 36:45
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 36:46
  SPEAKER_00: And this lady had stopped me, and she was just so sweet.
• 36:49
  SPEAKER_00: The way she just talked to me, and she was like, I just love you so much.
• 36:51
  SPEAKER_00: You mean so much to me.
• 36:52
  SPEAKER_00: And I was trying to like talk to her, but I had to rush to her, I was gonna miss my plane.
• 36:56
  SPEAKER_00: But just like the things that she was saying to me, it just like just makes you want to cry.
• 37:00
  SPEAKER_00: Totally.
• 37:00
  SPEAKER_00: How some of these people approach you and so many of them come from such a good place, and the I it's just I don't know.
• 37:07
  SPEAKER_00: I I get really emotional about it.
• 37:08
  SPEAKER_03: It's a surreal moment when people are like, I would just love to meet you.
• 37:13
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it's like a surreal moment.
• 37:14
  SPEAKER_00: It does something for me too, and I'll and I'll open up about this a little bit.
• 37:17
  SPEAKER_00: I think my whole life I've been looking for love, searching for love.
• 37:20
  SPEAKER_00: My mom abandoned me a little bit.
• 37:22
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I have some issues there.
• 37:24
  SPEAKER_00: I I've also like being gay in a small town, you don't really get that much love.
• 37:28
  SPEAKER_00: And to get this kind of love and support from people has been the most amazing thing I've ever experienced in my life because I've gone so long without it, but it's really teaching me how to love myself and the way that they love and support me is really just it's just really building my self-confidence.
• 37:44
  SPEAKER_03: That's so amazing.
• 37:45
  SPEAKER_03: This morning, um, I got a text from my husband saying, I'm I'm really, I'm so proud of you.
• 37:50
  SPEAKER_03: I'm so proud of you.
• 37:52
  SPEAKER_03: I went my whole life without anyone ever telling me that they were proud of me.
• 37:56
  SPEAKER_03: And you know, you think, you know, you got a show and you're healing people, and you know, I'm now moving into speaking and all this stuff.
• 38:02
  SPEAKER_03: You think that we're made of a different we've all got broke in some ways, you know, and I think, and I said to him, you know, he's always every day.
• 38:13
  SPEAKER_03: He's so and what a sacrifice for him, the media on the road and that kind of stuff too.
• 38:17
  SPEAKER_03: But you know, it's really when someone tells you that it's healing wounds that you didn't think would ever heal.
• 38:24
  SPEAKER_03: Absolutely, absolutely because and you're saying we you're because you're like me, like we give so much love, so much out.
• 38:31
  SPEAKER_00: And and that's something I'm learning too is you you give and give and give, but you also have got to take a step back and give some love to yourself, or or you're gonna get you're gonna run dry.
• 38:41
  SPEAKER_00: Absolutely, and you're not gonna have anything left to give, and that's gonna affect you in every area of life.
• 38:45
  SPEAKER_03: People pleasers like you and I.
• 38:47
  SPEAKER_03: I'm a reform.
• 38:48
  SPEAKER_00: I will say I am one, I'm working on that.
• 38:50
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, totally do.
• 38:51
  SPEAKER_03: But there's a reason when they say the oxygen mass drops to put it on you, because you'll be no good to anybody else.
• 38:56
  SPEAKER_03: And I had to go on a whole healing journey to really see the good in Deb and find to love Deb and put Deb first because I was so empty from spoon feeding the entire world my entire life.
• 39:12
  SPEAKER_03: That's all I knew.
• 39:12
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you know, because everything else was so chaotic in my world that that was the only thing I could really control was being able to give more than I ever had to give, you know?
• 39:21
  SPEAKER_03: And I think it's a really important, and we've been talking about this all day, like the mental health side of any industry you're in, but we're no good to anybody if we're not good to us.
• 39:32
  SPEAKER_00: Absolutely.
• 39:33
  SPEAKER_00: And at the end of the day, there's day you have to put yourself first.
• 39:36
  SPEAKER_03: Absolutely.
• 39:36
  SPEAKER_00: And you have to create better.
• 39:37
  SPEAKER_00: And guess what?
• 39:38
  SPEAKER_03: You're not sure.
• 39:39
  SPEAKER_03: It's so important.
• 39:40
  SPEAKER_00: It's something that I'm just now learning.
• 39:42
  SPEAKER_03: I would love to have you, I teach uh course every Thursday to a community.
• 39:47
  SPEAKER_03: I would love to have you be a guest host.
• 39:49
  SPEAKER_00: I would love to do something like that.
• 39:51
  SPEAKER_03: Talk about the importance of, I mean, because the statistics for people like me and people like you are that we'll never be successful and we'll never come out of it.
• 40:01
  SPEAKER_03: But it's such a beautiful thing that you recognize that.
• 40:05
  SPEAKER_03: And I to, I mean, I've told you.
• 40:07
  SPEAKER_00: A long road to gay here.
• 40:08
  SPEAKER_00: It's a long road to get it.
• 40:10
  SPEAKER_03: And it's worth thinking, you know, we talked about earlier how we say it's work, and it really should have another name.
• 40:16
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 40:16
  SPEAKER_03: Because when you say work, to people are like, I'd I would just rather be screwed up, to be honest with you.
• 40:20
  SPEAKER_03: You know, like I don't need another job.
• 40:22
  SPEAKER_03: And that's what we think of it as it's another job.
• 40:24
  SPEAKER_03: But really, the journey is so moral.
• 40:27
  SPEAKER_00: I don't think people should look at it as a job.
• 40:28
  SPEAKER_00: I think people should look at it as a way to freedom.
• 40:31
  SPEAKER_03: It's a man amen.
• 40:33
  SPEAKER_00: Because the rock that gets lifted off of your shoulders, amen.
• 40:38
  SPEAKER_00: And the way that you can navigate your day a little bit better.
• 40:41
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 40:41
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 40:41
  SPEAKER_00: It's it's not work.
• 40:43
  SPEAKER_00: It's work to get there, but the the reward.
• 40:45
  SPEAKER_00: The work is beautiful.
• 40:46
  SPEAKER_00: Freedom.
• 40:46
  SPEAKER_03: It's beautiful, you know, and I still, even to this day, sometimes have a little, a little bit of that insecurity will will drip in.
• 40:54
  SPEAKER_03: And then I gotta remind myself, I'm the fucking queen.
• 40:56
  SPEAKER_00: That's right.
• 40:57
  SPEAKER_00: And yeah, you know, like I'm the fucking queen.
• 40:59
  SPEAKER_00: Hello.
• 41:00
  SPEAKER_03: I'm like, I'm the fucking queen.
• 41:03
  SPEAKER_03: I can do it.
• 41:04
  SPEAKER_00: HBC, head bitch in charge.
• 41:05
  SPEAKER_00: Head bitch in charge, right?
• 41:07
  SPEAKER_03: But I think you're that's what I feel so find so inspiring about you is that you are like, I'm I'm gonna do me, and if you don't like it, keep scrolling.
• 41:16
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 41:16
  SPEAKER_03: Because I'm not gonna hang my hat on what you give a shit about.
• 41:20
  SPEAKER_00: I'm definitely not going to be able to do that.
• 41:21
  SPEAKER_03: And it's really, it's such a it's a hard thing to teach, right?
• 41:25
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, you have all friends that are artists, and you're surrounded by these fabulous, beautiful, you know, humans all day long.
• 41:30
  SPEAKER_03: But it's really hard to think to yourself.
• 41:33
  SPEAKER_00: It is hard, and I'll tell you this.
• 41:34
  SPEAKER_00: I think this is what sticks with me a little bit, is my mother growing up whenever I was a kid, she was a part of my life whenever I was a kid, and she would say, I just wish I could block it out and be like you and be like, I wish I could be like you.
• 41:46
  SPEAKER_00: And seeing what that did to her pushed me harder to be absolutely keep being you, keep being you, keep being you, absolutely.
• 41:53
  SPEAKER_00: Or you can end up like that.
• 41:55
  SPEAKER_03: Right, and that you know, that was my driving force too, because I'm like, listen, I already been through hell.
• 41:59
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and I know it's a very unpleasant stay.
• 42:02
  SPEAKER_03: It's only up from here.
• 42:04
  SPEAKER_03: But you know when you do this, when you feel there's a part of you broken, I over-educated myself.
• 42:08
  SPEAKER_03: My first husband was a very successful doctor.
• 42:10
  SPEAKER_03: Like, I was filling my stuff to make it look like the limelight was off of me.
• 42:15
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 42:15
  SPEAKER_03: You know what I mean?
• 42:16
  SPEAKER_03: And I think that's what we do.
• 42:17
  SPEAKER_03: And until I was, you know, healing and healed and helping other people, but I really stepped into the best version of myself.
• 42:24
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, absolutely.
• 42:25
  SPEAKER_03: You know, and I I totally now like I love my life.
• 42:29
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I love every second.
• 42:31
  SPEAKER_03: People are like, oh my god, you never complain about your husband.
• 42:33
  SPEAKER_03: I'm like, he's solid gold.
• 42:35
  SPEAKER_00: I love that.
• 42:36
  SPEAKER_03: He's solid gold.
• 42:37
  SPEAKER_03: And he saved my life.
• 42:39
  SPEAKER_03: You know, I'm a better human because of him.
• 42:41
  SPEAKER_00: I love that.
• 42:42
  SPEAKER_03: And yeah, and it's so right, the power of that, the power of one human being to change your life.
• 42:48
  SPEAKER_03: And I I so are you dating now or no?
• 42:51
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 42:52
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 42:55
  SPEAKER_00: Never mind, not in this city.
• 42:57
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna change my hands profile to like Los Angeles or maybe Philly, they'll think you're a badass.
• 43:03
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe so because this is not it.
• 43:05
  SPEAKER_03: This is not it.
• 43:05
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 43:06
  SPEAKER_00: This ain't it.
• 43:06
  SPEAKER_03: But you're a dreamer, right?
• 43:08
  SPEAKER_03: You still know the perfect I when I look back at my.
• 43:17
  SPEAKER_00: She said, Don't chase your dreams, chase your talents.
• 43:21
  SPEAKER_03: Chase your dreams.
• 43:21
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 43:22
  SPEAKER_00: Because your talents are gonna get you to your dream.
• 43:24
  SPEAKER_00: Absolutely.
• 43:24
  SPEAKER_00: And a dreamer will only remain a dreamer.
• 43:26
  SPEAKER_03: Yep.
• 43:27
  SPEAKER_03: Amen.
• 43:28
  SPEAKER_00: I think that really stuck with me.
• 43:30
  SPEAKER_00: You know, and I you know what?
• 43:31
  SPEAKER_03: This is another thing, especially people you don't chase, you attract.
• 43:35
  SPEAKER_03: So chase anybody.
• 43:37
  SPEAKER_00: I yeah, I'm not gonna be chasing.
• 43:39
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 43:40
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not gonna be chasing nothing.
• 43:41
  SPEAKER_00: That's exhausting.
• 43:42
  SPEAKER_00: It is exhausting.
• 43:43
  SPEAKER_00: That seems exhausting.
• 43:44
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not wanting to be a part of it.
• 43:46
  SPEAKER_03: You'll just meet somebody.
• 43:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you know what?
• 43:48
  SPEAKER_00: And I've said that.
• 43:49
  SPEAKER_00: I think it's it'll just come.
• 43:50
  SPEAKER_00: I have to become the best person, the best version of me first, and I'm not there yet.
• 43:54
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 43:54
  SPEAKER_03: So whenever I love that you can admit that.
• 43:57
  SPEAKER_00: Oh my goodness, I gotta admit things all day long.

  SPEAKER_00: What can we do?
• 44:20
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 44:21
  SPEAKER_00: We're human.
• 44:22
  SPEAKER_00: We have emotions.
• 44:23
  SPEAKER_00: Someone like me.
• 44:24
  SPEAKER_00: It's just like, you know, I'm like, I wouldn't love for you to live in my head for one day, and I bet you would not survive.
• 44:30
  SPEAKER_03: I say that too.
• 44:31
  SPEAKER_03: I'm like, I tell my friends, I'm like, do you know what my life is like?
• 44:33

  SPEAKER_03: So this is what I do for me.
• 44:53
  SPEAKER_03: Like, literally, it's like snorting pitsy sticks to live in my round.
• 44:56
  SPEAKER_03: I literally, first of all, my best friend is so grounded.
• 45:00
  SPEAKER_03: Like, she's so grounded, and she's on this like spiritual journey and she heals a lot of people.
• 45:04
  SPEAKER_03: And thank God for her, because I'd be like the balloon that got caught in the tree during the ice storm and fell all over the freaking place.
• 45:09
  SPEAKER_03: I'd be that chick.
• 45:10
  SPEAKER_03: But I'm so like, you surround yourself with the people that bring out the best in you, but I can tell you, being authentic, I don't, you know, now I have a second aspect.
• 45:19
  SPEAKER_03: Like, he wouldn't have it any other way.
