Summary

Y’all get ready, because today I get to talk with my friend, Ellen Skrmetti—one of my favorite follows on Instagram. I bet you love her too…she makes those “Hey Jesus, it’s me,” videos…and she’s just as funny in person as she is online. Her southern humor is just spot on in the bless-your-heart kind of way and I laughed so much during this conversation. We did a real deep dive on how her comedy career got started, church potlucks, the speed of funerals, panty hose, a new sausage ball recipe… and we also got to talk about her brand new book, Hey Jesus, It’s Me. Y’all, hand to heaven, ask my coworkers, I laughed out loud multiple times reading this book. It is so funny and so good. . . . . Want to watch this episode on YouTube?

0:22.7	with my friend Ellen Scrimetti, one of my favorite follows on Instagram. Listen, I was a fan before I was a friend.
0:30.6	I bet you love her too. She's the one that does those, hey Jesus, it's me videos. Oh, my gracious. She is so

1:33.0	we don't want, we don't want numbers, because that was my prayer too. It was, you know, Lord,
1:37.4	to send the right people to my page. Yes. Send the people to my page that can elevate this.
1:42.4	Yeah. That will see, that will see what I'm doing here.
1:45.7	And that's part of the reason why I never followed trends because I wanted to be seen as a writer.
1:49.3	Yeah.
1:49.7	And I thought, you know, the people in the business will say, oh, this girl can write sketches.
