0:20.1

Please welcome Christy Cook, the woman behind the massively popular YouTube channel, Spilsesh. I know how I was going to do that. You said it on the car right here. Spilsesh. I said that. I was like, I'm going to keep saying that. I'm going to be like, Spil-Sh-Sh-Sh. I just know it. That's just the type of person I am. She spills the internet's biggest tea for a living. And today she's spilling it with me and my co-host of the day, Mr. Zach Wickham. Christy is officially in the house. Hello, Christy. Hi, guys. I'm so excited to be here. We're so excited to have you. Yes. A two for one today. I know. And our favorite is getting to spill the gossip. So if you have it all, we're ready to hear it. I got the tea. I feel like it was like the weekend of tea. Like Super Bowl, everything was in the headlines. Yeah, there is so much to talk about and go over.

1:13.8

1:22.7

1:23.6

2:08.3

I felt like no one was really covering influencer news. They weren't taken seriously as like a

2:13.6

celebrity or anything yet. So mainstream news outlets weren't covering them. I worked at TMZ

2:18.8

at the time. Oh, nice. And so I knew like mainstream wasn't covering these people. So I was like,

2:24.1

okay, like maybe I'll talk about it online. And then I started posting videos. And then over time,
