Welcome back to two judgy girls. It's Courtney from L.A.

And today's guest is going to bring a lot of fun, a lot of opinions, and a lot of silliness. He is a pop culture enthusiast, and I cannot wait to hear what he has to say. Please welcome to the pod for Rai Bennett. Hello. Thank you for having me. This is so fun. I feel like I kind of forced my way onto this podcast, but it's totally fine.

First off, like, I feel like we are like new friends. Like we've met at a couple of events. It's been great. But I've been also like following you on like TikTok forever. Like I see your videos. You make me laugh constantly. And so when you were like, would you ever, you know, want to like collab? I'm like, hell yeah, let's do it. This is so fun.

I know.

I notice you comment on my videos a lot.

And it's so funny because Lex put us in comments. ever, you know, wanted, like, collab. I'm like, hell yeah, let's do it. This is so fun.

I know. I noticed you comment on my videos a lot. And it's so funny because Lex put us in contact together. So obviously, we've been talking. But I have, we have to tell everyone how I saw you the other night. And then Lex goes, this is my friend Courtney. And it totally blew over me that it was like you because I like never really like seen you in person. But I was just thinking like you like another influencer or like her plus one so I was like oh my god hi like did and I also was like so overstimulated because I literally had just woken up from a nap so everyone was like talking to me and I was like oh my god it's so good to see and then you came up to me when we were like, I forget what we were, we were watching Love Island.

We're at the Love Island watch party.

Right.

And he said something like, oh my God, yeah, even though he's going to be my podcast. And I was like,

and then I was like, yeah. And then I said it in the moment. And then you walked away.

And I was like, oh my God, wait, is that her?

And I was like, oh, my God, I felt so stupid.

And I'm not like that person.

So I'm just like, wait.

No, it's also I always joke, too, is like when you see people in a different setting that you're like not thinking about of like, okay. And like we didn't text before like, okay, I'll see you on Monday, you know. So then you're like, oh my God, wait, this is who you're talking. Duh. Yeah, no, I was like, wait, I just know her as the two judgy, one of the two judgy girls. Even though your name in my phone is Courtney, two judgy girls.

It's when internet becomes IRL, you know? Yeah, no. And I know, which is crazy because I feel like that becomes my IRL a lot with these events. But like, especially now with people I don't know. Like, it's so funny because Hannah Koch, like, I know of her, but I, and I forgot, I see her around

always, but like, we've now started like interacting more because I did the podcast with the unwell. And I'm like, oh, yeah, that's Hannah Kosh, like, whatever. But then, like, now I'm like, oh, am I stupid? Because I just don't know. Like, I'm, oh, you're always just like meeting new people. I also, I love Hannah.

She's great.

The best.

But no, okay, so tell me how you like started like with your TikTok and everything.

I know you like kind of worked with some like publications before. Like how did you get like involved in this realm of pop culture?
