Are the bangs gonna cover up the stitches? Yeah, that's the intention. Uh Oh no, you're gonna give yourself bangs in this video? Wowie wowie wowie. Wowie? Zowie. Wowie Zowie. Wowie Wow. Please never say it like that again. Help me. Did you know you were gonna say it like that before you said it? What does that come out of your mouth? Well'cause it you have to follow up wowe wowey. Yeah, my name implies a speech impediment. Yeah. Yeah. Well thank you so much Grace for being here. Thank you.

Um damn damn speaking of damn damn channel status going way back to your beginnings with Daily Grace, that channel had almost two and a half million subscribers. Uh and then you had to abandon it. You have to leave it. Yeah, yeah, weird times. Very strange times. Yeah. That was we don't need to get into all those details. Bye.

Yeah, this was like two thousand twelve ish or two thousand fourteen maybe, when I kind of jumped ship from my dim channel over to my own channel. And it was really I think like the first time we were all seeing in this space that that was where kind of the power of like influence lied. Yeah. And it was a lot of support from like you guys, from John and Hank, from Rhett and Link, from everyone in the space that really encouraged uh an independent channel. So I'm really appreciated.

Yeah, it was like you made Grace's version. Yeah, yeah, because they could have... Basically like you yeah, you inspired Taylor Swift, I think. I think she probably You know what? I didn't want to say that this quickly in the Yeah. Bye. I haven't realized that recently. I think that's implied. When I enter a room it's like, Oh, that's the girl that inspires Taylor Swift.

Well let's let's see the kind of content that inspired Taylor Swiss. I mean she does say that she is a functional alcoholic on her new album. Oh wow, okay this is the first video that I think we could find. This is what we think is the first video uh titled I'm still drunk. Yeah, and I like how this is the first video we can find and it has the word still in it. Like it implies there was more to that. I'm really curious about this.

I'm I'm in it, I assume, so I'm sure at some point I saw something that had to do with the Do you remember this? Like do you even Um, if this is from okay, so here's the here's the like what really happened with my channel. So when I was in college I took editing classes and my college roommate and I Similar to like your friendship and your creative uh partnership, we started making YouTube videos together but our editing class had us register our YouTube account so we could post our

projects and show them to the class. So my account started from that editing class in college in like 2008. and then I got hired at Midem channel and started making content for them. Then we started the Daily Grays channel. When that business wise wasn't negotiating well, I moved back to my original channel

So some of the original content was college projects, which I think most of them have been actually taken down or removed from like copyright infringement. So I am wildly curious what this one might This one's still there. Okay. still for the public. Thank you. Hi guys, today I decided to do a Daily Grace QA and I She looks sleepy. She looks I don't know. Sleepy or if it's strong. Look I like videos that are titled exactly what's going on, you know?

Different emotion in your eyes. Like when I see you now, you don't look like Look I no, I do look like that now, but that's because I've had breast cancer for the last year. This is like a girl that's seeing death but because she's just wildly hung over living in Brooklyn. I feel like you're looking past the camera lens. I don't think you're actually looking at the camera. No, I think I'm looking into the future of like uh hope. What is there like suntan lotion?

You got Sunsan lotion, you got uh the light. Laundry. In the shot. It's good. Yeah, there is always a light that I put in the background that I never actually used to light the shot itself, but I wanted people to know that like, hey, I own production equipment. I'm a professional. The side pony didn't show that already. Yeah.

Very professional. I think looking past the camera is a good technique because then you don't get overwhelmed by like, oh, I'm on camera. Yes. You're like, I'm looking into a voice. Yeah. So it just all started from a place. We all start from a place. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Man, she loved a statement necklace, that's for sure. Jesus Christ. Yeah, you're iced out. Damn, blingin'. Can you make Edward Fortyhand's videos? That was a game that has existed before I decided to play. You know? Yeah.

Fair, fair, fair. This was the first video that was public on my damn channel. Okay. You guys are some cues and now I'm gonna A the f out of us. Let's get right to it. I'm gonna try and do as many as I can. Look at this. What was that? Wow, you guys asked a lot of questions. This is a vacant. Cookie gets made. How do you get your hair so shy? Do you ever What are your thoughts on Comic Con? Great! What's your favorite I love it. Yeah. What's your favorite? ¿Qué opinas? Sorry, that was nice.

Yeah, I love it. Sorry, I pressed the button and Oh Anthony, you b Is that where I showed you how feminist I was? Okay. What are your thoughts uh on the US woman Okay, hold on. Should we take guesses on I feel like so far all of your answers have aged really well because I know any Q and A that Anthony and I did in this in this era. Yeah. Yeah, do you guys watch your old content unless you have to? Um only by force. If there's a gun to the game. For more content.

Right, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. That makes sense. Do you remember what you said, your thoughts are about the US World Cup? I Gosh, I have no idea. I think he might have said something like a lot less balls. That's what I I was like, it's one of the two. Like a two girls one cup joke? No. Okay, let's see where you want. Where my brain went. Women's World Cup Even the Okay.

Even though you make lyrics videos, do you like Lady Gaga? I think you're just gonna say Oh, you're just going to say yeah. Uh it's po it's possible. I really don't know what this girl this young woman's gonna say. I feel like this is not even you? It is a version of me, but man, I uh you know, you think that you're so much older than you are in so much of what you're doing. And then you look back, you're like, That is a young

Woman. But see the all the part of this too is that I was making videos five days a week on my Dem channel's website, not YouTube, for two years before we started uploading them to YouTube. Wow. So I have been Even though this might be the first video on there, it's been probably two years that I've been making videos doing like this format of it.

Uh I think at this point it was pretty easy for me to make a video wildly hungover and just slip it into this format. You guys have been there. Sure. Yeah. I feel like No, not really. It was only one time that I shot a Yeah, we we had to do a lunchtime video right after we were in Vegas.

Mm, that'll do it, yeah. So It was really but that was really the only t I think we both like took not that I'm saying you didn't take making videos serious, but but like I was like It kinda sounds like you're saying that. I was like very serious like about like which sounds rid which sounds yeah anyway uh yeah the sketches we The sketches we would do I was I would be like I would be like well I can't I I will not drink Night before like doing like

This is also um it became like I was living in Brooklyn at the time and this is when YouTube was, you know, like a secret And I was doing comedy at the People's Improv Theater like a few nights a week, trying to do like traditional, like gritty New York comedy scene. and then I'd run back to my apartment and like make my secret little videos as my like job. Yeah. Uh that I loved doing I like I started to love doing this more than like the actual live performance stuff.

Uh so this was still just like so subversive that it was like, oh, I'm gonna go get drunk at the theater that I'm doing all of this other stuff at and then I'll come do my job. Uh yeah. And then it's like you make friends with content creators who, I don't know, make drinks. for a living and then it just becomes embedded into like whatever brand you're developing. Yeah, it was definitely it was definitely like Yeah. It's still content that people do. But I admire the professionalism.

Right. I remember when we shot Smosh the movie, you're like I am not drinking a single drink for this entire Fifteen days. Het was also because I was like. Admiral. I was also terrified of like forgetting my lines. Yeah. And we had like so many lines to memorize that I was like I can't.

See, this is yeah, when you're literally by yourself in your apartment sh and then editing, so you're in full control. That's true. So it's like I And be as drunk as I want because I can edit myself in a way that like uh saves it maybe. It's also kinda funny that you were doing the the comedy thing. Yeah. Yeah. And doing this as a job. Yeah. And Which was unbelievable and unheard of at the time. So it was like this weird feeling of like

I have my dream job while I'm trying to audition for all these other things. Like this is amazing. So it was like I. Even though it looks a bit like homemade, obviously, I took it really seriously. Like I didn't miss a day and I was like very dedicated regardless of the uh physical state that I was in, of like the consistency of content. But five days a week is crazy. You said for two years before you even started uploading. That's like five hundred videos. Yeah, okay.

Really anything. Yeah, and there's a few videos that like I was in not a very good like Really really hung over and shouldn't have been making content, but it was like I can't miss a day. It's like I can't not go into work today. And yeah, and they uh yeah became creative. They edited. This was the era of Tumblr too. This is when Tumblr was huge. And I remember posting all my videos on Tumblr to try and get people to watch them too. Yeah. I can't even fathom that. I know.

Need it. Cake or pie. I don't really like pie. Yeah, you're saying it like you're gonna Always been controversial. Well you're gonna get canceled for that, right? You looked around like with absolute shame. There's a lot of secrets revealed. I still I love cake, never been a pie girl. Yeah. Yeah. How about you guys? I know. Consistency. I'm Yeah what uh Ian are you a pie girly or are you? I was th see if I had to assume, I would assume you like pie. He looks like a piger.

You seem like a guy that goes to a diner, gets a cup of coffee, eats a pie. It sounds ri I do love a diner. I do love a shitty. And you are into pastries, right? Like I do love pastries, but I will say although like I mean cheesecake is probably goaded. Yeah. So like I guess I have to say I'm a cake guy. Okay. But I mean like come on man, pumpkin pie, pecan. You can't play's great, yeah. I love a good apple pie. Look, I don't dislike pie, but I do love cake. Okay. Cake is better.

And I don't like it. I like it. I wish you could. Oh yeah. Yeah. This still stands. This is the longest part of the video, it's me just describing I like it. She is hung up. Still go anyway. Do you think you went and bought a cake after this and just Which orange came first, the fruit or the color? Oh Why can't I... Because you're you will hurt yourself. Where are these questions from? Yeah, what is a screenshot?

I believe these are from Tumblr. I believe this is where I used to every day because I would have these formats where it would be like I'm gonna answer questions on Tuesdays or haze people. I'm gonna teach you how to do something. I'm gonna review something. And I would always use my Tumblr to ask what should I do today? Damn. Yeah. Yeah. So it was like a fully Fed system. But I mean like I think Reddit has just become the dominant board. How to do things.

Because I am How did interviewing the Harry Potter? Very attractive. Yeah. How would you say that?

Yeah, at this point I worked for um Attack of the Show on G4. Oh yeah. And I that was like my first like real like gigs that I was getting. I got to do a lot of like their New York correspondence for like movie junkets. And also I was a bit willing to do literally anything and that show loved to not humiliate but um have their Creative Really get creative with the interview process, so they would constantly give me costumes to wear while I was doing like the drinkets. And look, it was.

Uh Copa said it because I had a few producers that are buzz that I really love so much and so it was like we would riff on these like really stupid ideas and then they would like actually get the costumes for them and then I would actually have to sit there in like a mad-eyed moody, uh weird eyeball thing while I'm interviewing like Rupert Grant being like, hello. Would you show up and be like this is just a costume or were you like

Oh god, there's one where Will Farrell, it was a movie that he was doing. It was out here in Los Angeles, actually, and he was like a uh it was like a telenovela kind of film and it was so good and so funny, but he wears like this w full white suit as a like uh drug mule in like Mexico and so they got me a full white suit.

to wear to interview him and when we got into those junket rooms you only get like maybe four minutes for each person then you have to move. I wasn't even gonna be on camera. I came in and the camera was only on him and I was just in a full Did you know that you wouldn't be on camera or you got

Not until we got there and I was just like, hello, I'm meeting like an icon of comedy. Like truly in the mo I'm like, I just wanna make him laugh. And I was like, This is so embarrassing. But he was like the best sport. Did you disclose to him? You're like, uh this is or did you Uh I don't even I think I was just like I gotta m just say yes to this bit and he was such a team player that he was like we'll try and get you on camera like it was so so nice but it was like also so humiliating.

I know that feeling because when when I interviewed The Rock, uh this was like Uh a a month or so after that picture of him in the fanny pack drop where he has a turtleneck. Yes. Yeah. And so I showed up to the interview wearing that outfit. Uh huh. He didn't say a single thing. I think he even noticed it looked like it. This is just what this guy does. This is a cis guy style. Wow. Once mentioned, I was like, great. I just look like an idiot.

Well what's funny is I think that you would legit wear that outfit now. But back then you were embarrassed about it. Yes, of course. Yeah. Well anytime you're trying to do something to impress like someone that's famous, it is a bit degrading. Yeah. Sure. I guess I was just hoping for him to acknowledge it because it wasn't Anything. Yeah. No. Wow. He was too busy answering the question of when you were younger did people call you the pebble. That's true. Not even a wedding. Oh a wedding.

That's where you got the title of the video, right there, right? Yeah. But that's sensible. She went to a wedding, so this is warranted. It was Holy Wedding, right? Yeah. Yeah. I'm happy to hear that from him. Yeah, it's okay to get drunk at weddings. That's a socially acceptable place. That's how you show love to a married couple. Yeah, yeah. You throw up on their dance floor. Mm-hmm. Yeah. But I've been a vegetarian, pescatarian since so...

Oh, Mobwives was on TV. Plus, her name sounds like Dorito. Dorito. But just

Yep. To me that sounds like you're doing Dennis Marvel's impression. How long is this video? I think we need to watch all 45 minutes of it. Do we need to watch all three five minutes of it? We don't have to watch the whole we don't have to watch the whole thing. Yeah. Maybe we can skip to your favorite part. Wouldn't know what that is. I think these are all like three or four minutes or something like that. What is your favorite college memory? I really like studying abroad in London.

Nice. Nice. So There was no millennial pause in that video. What's the millennial pop? I mean it was like it was very succinct. It was very on to the next thing, on to the next thing, on the next thing. When I feel like a lot of videos of that time, there was like so much dead space between like stuff. Yeah, well that's the thing that really excited me about the internet from day one was jump cuts. The idea of removing like the dead space and then also like keeping in like just like I don't

think I'm very musically inclined, but it's similar to how I imagine people compose music when you're like figuring out the rhythm of a video edit and that's what I love. Like I knew that my brain might not work. at uh the highest capacity every day to say really funny things, but I could edit them into something that was maybe interesting. Yeah. Yeah, it was punchy, so The millennial pause? Well, I mean that has more to do with like when you're like Starting a video. Yeah.

Amelia, like what is the difference between Gen Z? They just start right out. Yeah. There's no there's no waiting to see like that it If recording. And it's like one second. Not even a little bit. But it's like seeing the uh the trust in your eyes of looking at your device and wondering if Yeah, yeah, it's also vulnerable. I it makes me uh yeah. Man, you guys Gen Z you know what you're doing. You guys make me nervous pointing out all of our All of our flaws.

Quirks. Wow. Hungover and young to be so alive. And nothing aged nothing aged too bad. Yeah, I'm really happy about that. All the A's that you cued or all the Qs that you ate, yeah, aged pretty well. Thank you. Thank you. I d I don't think I really said anything. Kind of the day. Yeah, I'm like, what did I learn about Grace from watching that? No, it was like kind of unoffensive. Yeah. Not too much. Yeah, is kind of an asexual being.

Sort of trolling an audience that kind of supports her at the same time.

Yeah. I just did the math and around this time you had created s about seven hundred and fifty videos about at this point. Yeah. So it was yeah, that I mean it was it felt at that time like uh an endless well of creativity, which was so fun. And then when you cut to like four years later, then it's like, oh No shit. I was like, I'm burnt out. I have no ideas left. No one needs to hear any more of my thoughts. Right. I feel like this like style of putting out content every single day.

Is still exists today, but like on TikTok. Yeah, that's what I'm seeing. Um like I I feel like I've taken some time away from the space just from feeling burnout and also from just like growing up a little bit and wanting to experience something different. Uh, but now that I'm coming back and I'm looking at trying to understand TikTok, and it does feel very reminiscent of like this time. And I'm trying to like have.

more fun making content that way, like kind of tapping into this like uh care less It's Being silly. Like I'm not trying to make any really profound points here about anything. It's just like there is a reliable clown in this room for you every day if you want to hang out with her for a few minutes. And I think that was really kind of the symbiotic relationship that developed with the audience that was really special. I feel like YouTube has turned to be a little bit more Serious.

Well it's like people are uploading like two and a half hour vlogs on there. So you can really spend the entire day with someone if you want to. And this at least for this point in my life too, I was very much like I'm doing comedy first and anything that's personal is like way, way If you didn't say a single personal. No, and like I was in a very long-term relationship like at this point that like no one really knew about at all. And so everything was like very much that stuff.

had nothing to do with my comedy. And so this was always just like comedy first. And now I've have been much more per Kicker här, ja, det stämmer vi på i Ruf i Ebersnabbeleveranser Jag finns på lager. Vi plockar packar och skickar varna på direkten.

online and it's really interesting, but it's also it's just very different styles of content creation. Yeah, I was gonna say you've been a lot more vulnerable with talking about things that you've dealt with in your life and your relationships and your struggles. Yeah, which has been really nice because I also feel like that

is part of my human experience and helps me process things. But now I'm also at a point too where it's like I wanna do more of that. Like I wanna do more like I just wanna be a little clown again. Because life can be really silly if you want it to be. Yeah, like you feel like you kinda got a little serious or something?

Yeah, I got a little serious and a little just like burn out on making content and like figuring out like what did I even like doing. Do I like doing this? Am I good at this? Is there like you know, all those big purpose questions. And now I'm like, yeah, I actually like making people laugh a whole lot and I would like to do that some more.

Yeah. And this next video is your most iconic video. Hold on, wait, wait, wait. Okay, hotels. This is your most iconic video. Do you need to take a moment first? Yeah. Wow. Do you want to explain what this is? Yeah. 2013, January 2013. 2013, she's still drinking heavily. This time not at weddings, this time at her neighbor's house next door. I believe this was a Super Bowl party or some sort of party that was happening at my neighbor's house.

And it started during the daytime and it uh went all day and towards the end of the evening I believe I tried to pet their dog on their deck and I took a tumble down the stairs. And um Hannah Hart found me at the bottom of the stairs and quickly got out of the koala onesie that she was wearing uh to alert my boyfriend at the time to take me to uh urgent care. That's how bad it was.

That's how bad it was, but you know the show must go on. I was working for my dumb channel and I had to make a video the next day. So I got stitches and I decided, well, like everything else that had been in my uh system of how I made videos, you just say yes to what's happening in your life at that time and you make it into content. Yeah, if I didn't have the context I would say this doesn't look good.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. This looks like I got in a bar fight the night before. But no, I just wanted to pet a dog after having too many drinks near a stairs. We've all been there. And it's got over a million views. Yeah, that's the good thing is that this is really um really happy to be an influencer to the youth at this point. Let's see how you're influencing the youth. My joke this weekend left me in stitches.

Nice. Still wearing the medical bracelet. I tripped over my neighbor's dog and fell down some stairs. And now I have four stitches above my arm. Yay! If you haven't been able to figure out. I am not a very functional person when it comes to coordination or balance. You're getting vulnerable. Yeah, there there's some real life stuff. I literally got the stitches put in like five hours ago, but I'm here now making a video for you because stairs can't hold me down.

But apparently gravity can. And you might be like, where the f are we, Grace? Well we're in my bathroom where Lincoln watches me sht. Don't ya? Because another lesson that I can teach all of you is that when life gives you a promise need to cover up the problem and hopefully the problem will just fix itself. So that's why I'm gonna give myself bangs again. Yay! The opportunity just Are the bangs gonna cover up the stitches? No.

Yeah, that's the intention. Uh Oh no, you're gonna give yourself bangs in this video? Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is the most internet girl thing I could do like possible. I think I really set the trend of the like bangs if a girl is has bangs. Sit her down and ask her if she's okay. I mean y yeah, it's generally it's like a breakup maybe just occur Like something has happened. Not nothing has happened. Women get bangs when something is happening.

Yeah, even if they say it's nothing, that means there's something. Um, yeah. And uh really taking my artistry into my own hands here. So Well you have a valid reason. You're covering up a wound. Yeah, and I this was the first time um that I had experienced the Los Angeles uh urgent care system and I remember having the most gorgeous doctor put these stitches in my head and

My uh the guy I was dating at the time, he and I were like, Well we went to the hospital, we waited for hours in the emergency room there and we weren't brought back. So we were like, let's just find an urgent care. Now it's like the morning. We go to urgent care. We're so hungover waiting in this urgent care lobby. They give you a buzzer system. And so we're like, oh how this buzzer like works in this area. I remember he and I went to the bar across the street with the.

Had a beer at the bar across the street because we were so hungover. Went back when our buzzer and she was doing my stitches and she was like, you're bleeding everywhere because it thinned my blood so wild. Sure, yeah. Yeah, so just like a real uh inspiring time. Do you have like your head wrapped or anything?

And uh they cleaned it in the emergency room for me and but it was just like the emergency room's so backed up so we were like, Let's just go down the street and'cause I just had to get a a couple of stitches and um yeah, we were just like waiting for so long and uh yeah. Yeah, you know, really resilient. Nice and thin blood. Like yeah, if you're going to the doctors, don't drink beforehand. They'll know. Did they call you out? Well without a'cause yeah.

Lots of lessons learned. Good. Horrible, horrible job. So bad that I had to go to my hairdresser and have her fix them for me. But hey, what do they say about trying something you failed out once for the second time? They say Why are you trying this again? But I just watched a lovely YouTube tutorial because you can learn everything on YouTube. This lovely little Asian girl that says um all the time cut her own bangs and she told me how to do it and now

I feel the confidence from her um to do it. You need four things to cut five things. You can still count! Yeah, bruise this guy. Parents, if you're watching this, I'm so sorry, everything's fine. I'm fine. I'm really okay. Yeah, this happened too. It makes my arm look skinnier now. Still drunk from the A bag of something. And you drank this day too.

Yeah, yeah. This is like we had just moved to Los Angeles from Brooklyn, so it was like getting used to Los Angeles cold like in br in New York, you're like Going out all the time and then getting used to Los Angeles culture was a bit of a culture shock, but look how well she adapted. Pretty well. Yeah.

Let's get started. I haven't washed my hair either, so that seems like something you're supposed to do just in life in general. Hey guys, isn't that really cool that you're sitting at home watching a stranger you don't know cut her fing hair? And I call this entertainment. The funnest part about me having banged is a big thing. Maybe she started and get a little burnout. I don't know. A little deranged. Maybe th maybe the signs are showing. I like a challenge. I live on the edge of a stage.

I can't believe you're gonna do this. like where you want your bangs to start and I Don't know how to do this part. I'm gonna start here I guess so. Oh this cat looks like please stop now. And then I'm gonna slide this to make a triangle. Oh god, this has got note written all over it. That covers up my vision, so I shouldn't do that. But ow! I think there's still blood in my hair. I think there might be.

Yay. Bang bang. Let me hear you say Grace, you shouldn't do this. That's off. Oh sh this is just gonna be a f Things we do for our Yeah. Really? I mean I had to show up to work that day. But I can't see what you're doing. Why is that part still uneven? Jesus God I hate this. Dear future grade. I can't tell if you're getting just like more real and honest and vulnerable or if you're just so burnt out that you can't give a single

Yeah, it might be the latter. Uh I think it's just like I am gonna I'm doing this and look at me showing them my real life right now. Because there really was no way to hide that this had happened. Yeah. When you commit to making a video every weekday, there's gonna be something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And yeah, and you fall down the stairs in the middle of it, like you gotta t yeah I guess address it.

And I too can relate to getting the worst possible well, I think I probably got a worse haircut on camera for content. Yeah, we did we did a real life bowl cut. Yeah. And it was the in the pandemic where I couldn't just go and get my hair cut. Oh, you also did make a video after getting wounded too. Do you remember when you had that black eye? Oh yeah. And you were like, I gotta make content about this black eye. Yeah. Yep, yep. See we're not that far off.

Yeah, I feel like we're yeah, very similar. We've we've experienced very similar things. I've never tripped over a dog and fell downstairs. Certainly fallen downstairs on many occasions. Yeah, you guys got lots of dogs around here. That's true. I'm so sorry. Does that look good? Good choice clicking on this video, y'all. Real entertaining sh going on. Why am I mad at I'm mad at myself? out of the audience too.

Yeah, they're taking it out in the audience, but I'm clearly just upset with myself. I'm just kidding. This girl just needs to go lay down and drink some water. Jesus. She refuses to have a moment of peace to herself. This is actually a PSA for content creators, so just like when they feel they should stop to stop. Yeah. This is what happens when you don't.

Yeah. Can't feel things, but foreheads can. So I'm separating the hair that I want to blend the bags into my hair and then the hair that I just want to rebag. And I'm just legit learning stuff today. Yeah, I'm like the thing is I'm genuinely trapped but they have like the one weird allergy that keeps them from being totally cool. And now, like Jesus once said Here's where sh it's cray. Oh yeah, look at those house scissors. Yeah, yeah. I literally have that.

I don't think I even knew at all that you could get hair scissors from anyone. This feels like a bad decision, but I can't go back in time. Oh my god. You should probably use hair felt now everything's failing. Perfect! Okay, we gotta fix them short. So we're gonna chop up into it a little It's kinda giving Lady Gaga. Yeah, very Sia. It's Sia, that's what it is, it's Sia. Now you're gonna take your hair straightener again and so it's not so flat, we're gonna kind of roll it. It does work though.

Wow. We're having fun. Transitional peas. I think we got it. We're done for now. You actually did it. Wow. I just gave myself fing pain. Okay, it looks like. And just like that, she has blurred no lesson. Well yeah, now you could hide the evidence that there was any Yeah, I just rewarded myself for the pain. Yeah, there was no issue there. Yeah, yeah. So no problems there.

So how much longer did you make uh five videos a week? I think this was like the last year-ish that I or two that I was making five videos. When I started my own channel, I started to go down like three videos because I was like, oh, I can do whatever I want now. Yeah. But I felt like that was cheating going down the three and I felt like I have to keep up with this pace and that started the whole

hamster wheel of like, oh no, content has me by the balls right now. Yeah. I'm gonna get out of this a little bit. Mm-hmm. Yeah. But it was a lot I mean, I'm so proud as much as she was struggling in a lot of ways. A lot of ways. I am so proud of like how much I did at that point. I think at that point I wasn't even letting myself acknowledge like how much stuff I was trying to make. I was just like trying to push through constantly.

Yeah. Do you feel like you've kind of like broken out of the shackles in some way? You said that content A little bit. Yeah, I feel like at this point I was all I never let myself feel proud of anything I did because it was just like everything was. developing and blossoming so much and opportunities were happening that I have no idea would ever happen. So it's just like saying yes constantly and just like trying to just keep up with everything. You had the you had you also had the talk show.

Yeah. Like I feel like I feel like we again like I feel like we we were running like parallel paths. Like. Yeah. Where we also just kind of said yes to everything. Yeah. Because it was like, Yeah, when else am I gonna get a chance to do a talk show? Also, I didn't know how to say no. Yeah. Right, I didn't know that was an option. But also in what world do you say no to something so incredible? Yeah. Like people would look at you and be like, What the hell? Yeah what's wrong with you?

Once in a lifetime opportunity. Yeah, and I I felt like I at that point was uh decent at interviewing people. Like I felt like I had a fun time interviewing people in a way that was uniquely my own. And so I was like, yeah, let me do this. But then I It was amazing and so stressful'cause it was the first time that as an individual content creator I had

such a big crew and so many people dependent on me. A lot of the other big projects I had done, I had done them in partnership with other content creators. And the talk show was the first one that was like just all on me. And I was so like you were and so nervous about fking up, so nervous about like ruining takes or like messing up interviews or not being on time or not making it as funny as possible. And I was just like so

stressed at the same time as having like the most amazing opportunity. Yeah. Yeah, I mean... It's a lot of pressure, you know, and and it's like who's putting this pressure on me? Me? Yeah. Yeah. This is just you a little bit, you know? Totally. Well it was also like the first we were I mean, people were like, You're doing the first of your kind. You're doing a hybrid thing. And it's so innovative and it's so cool and it's such an opportunity to like pave this way. And I was just like

I just want to make someone laugh. God, there's so much pressure. Mm-hmm. So many things were changing and it was just like, yeah, we don't know like what this is gonna be. So it's just like, yeah, sure, I'll take. There was no precedent for like what is what is a creator. Right. You know, everything it felt like you were doing a lot of things for the first time and you had no idea if it was worth your time or not. You just had to do everything. Yeah, and there was such a

conversation around new media and traditional media and I remember the talk show being pitched as this way to hybrid and bridge these two things that were seemingly so at odds at the time. It was like There's this rat pack group of like misfit creators online and we're all like, Yay, high tides raise all ships and then these like

traditional goons that are looking down on us and being like, You guys don't have any talent and we're going, We'll show you And so it was like this huge separation and then the talk show was like, oh What if we take this girl from the internet and we put her in this like traditional space but she does it her way and then we'll bring the internet audience onto TV as if it was like showing these cavemen YouTube

It's like a television for the first time. I mean, like, have you ever tried watching me on this device? Yeah. Yeah. It was wild times. It was so cool. I think that c I think that could bring us to to a segment that we do with with all of our guests here. Okay.

And it's uh are you happy? Are you happy? I was told I'd be asked this, but really You were born. You were warned. Hard to prepare. Uh y I think I'm yeah, I think I am. Yeah, I mean I'm alive. So that in and of itself is huge success and uh I think Right now I'm in a like a little bit of brain reshuffling of value systems, which is very exciting and also very disorienting. So I think my

definitions and feelings around happiness are like in a transitional state, which doesn't mean I'm not happy, but it just means I feel like I'm terrifying. Yeah, like I think I'm growing up. I know, isn't that disgusting? That's horrible. Yeah. I really feel like that's kinda happening right now. And it's very strange and very like weird but also kind of cool.

Back then, like making content made me so happy. And making people laugh made me so happy. And meeting anyone that said that they watched the videos made me so happy. And then content started to make me like sad and stressed out and I was like, well what makes me happy if it's not this thing that I has absorbed or taken up my entire life? And now I'm learning a lot about like other things that make me happy. And that's like very, very good.

And now you're coming back to wanting to make more content. Yeah, exactly. Cause once you're happy with things that are like outside of content, yeah, it's a lot more freeing to make content and like have fun doing it rather than that being like The source of my happiness. Yeah,'cause it sounds like you did really enjoy making stuff like that. There was real true happiness. Yeah, there's no way I could have made that amount of content if I didn't enjoy it. It was amazing. It was so incredible.

You started to all that was your only source of everything. fully overly identified with this being everything my life I've depended on and revolved around and now I've sort of found my separation, which takes work to do to separate yourself and get like perspective outside of this thing. uh that felt so like comforting and defining too. Like I was in my early twenties. This like defined my personality and my identity in the world. So of course I like latched on to this being like

the happiest thing that's ever happened. And now, yeah, I'm like redefining that and the byproduct of that is like making content is a little bit more fun now. Yeah, now creating is one part of it rather than Yeah! Yeah! Yeah, that's the ticket. There we go.
