So there is a time on social media that your girl, me, Jamie, wore wigs and a very heavy

filter on the TikToks and the Instagrams. And a lot of people had no idea why I was doing that. And I think

most people just thought I was playing a character, which kind of worked out well because now I do

use those wigs for characters. But I actually, there was a reasoning behind my wigs. And the

reasoning was, even though I was very forthright at my job at the time

that I was on social media and they were supportive of it, someone kept sending my videos to my

boss. And she started to get worried. And so she essentially sat me down, wrote me like a little letter. And this is actually how Ashley and I became good friends. Ashley and I were already friends via social media. But I reached out to Ashley and I was like, this is fucking bullshit. Like, what do I do with this? And so Ashley, having a yes face, thank God. I mean, I guess it worked out to your advantage because

look it now we're all on a podcast. But yeah, no, no, no, it was good. I reached out to her and I'm like,

this feels like bullshit. What are your thoughts? And essentially they were asking me to not show my

face on social media, but my face is a part of the brand. And even though my memes, I am behind the scenes,

I was like, fuck that noise. And so I invested in a couple cheap weeks on Amazon. And I proceeded to

continue to do my videos in a wig and a very heavy glamour filter. And I mean, I was even like in

my fucking pool with the wigs. I I mean, I was even like in my fucking pool with the wigs on. Like,

I was, I was committed. So if you ever see me posting a video from like two, three years ago

with a wig and that heavy ass filter on, that's why. Because I actually had someone once

make like a snide comment about it. They're like, why are you doing this? That you look so silly with that filter on. Everyone can tell it's fake. I'm like, that's kind of the fucking point. But I said, you know, the reason why I was like, I'm incognito. Yeah, I was like, I'm trying to be incognito. And they were like, well, but don't you, aren't you like in articles and stuff? Because I had like an HR brew article come out. And I'm like, sure do. And like a New York Times article came out like almost back to back. I'm like sure do. But for some reason, the articles don't bother them. The social media does. I mean, I can remember walking, like walking up and down my street with AirPods and talking to Jamie and stopping on my phone. And she was like, I'll send, she's like, I'll send you what they sent me. And I'm like, what do you mean sent me? It wasn't just a conversation. She's like, no, no, they want me to sign something. And I was like, what the fuck? But also I was like, because I was looking at the videos and I'm like, I guess I never noticed.

It was like a heavy filter and wig.

I'm like, because this is you. Like I can tell this is you. This isn't even pixelated like a dateline episode. This is you. Oh, yeah. And she's like, no, I know. You can literally tell that it's me. Like there is no question. But so I remember getting makeup, coming up to my computer and like reading this thing.

And I was like, this is most corporate shit I've ever seen. I mean, literally it was like, because, and I told Jamie, I was laughing. I was like, I can tell you a law firm lawyer was involved in drafting this 100%. Like, I can. Oh my God. It was like, first of of all because it was a letter and it was all

bold pointed out with the things and I remember talking to Jamie and I was like listen like do you care if you get fired I was like I want to ask you really honestly like do you care if you get fired like is that like and she's like no I do and I'm like okay so I'm like you got to sign this like do what I'm like everybody's always got to choose what you're going to do based on what you want to happen. And I'm like, if you're willing to live within these, I was like, I mean, honestly, I'll be like, this is the stupidest shit I've ever seen. Because I can understand, they're trying to thread a needle here. But yeah, it was, I chuckled looking at that one. See, that's why I didn't recognize you when I first met you because the hair. Like from so, you know what I mean? Like, but your hair is so long, I thought. And then I remember going back and watching, I was like, oh, that's a, that's a wig and that's a, you know what I mean? It's like, oh gosh, yeah, yeah. And then you realize, you know, that girl's trying to stay employed over here.

You know what I mean?

I was trying to.
