Summary
Kyle is joined by comedian, podcaster, and NYT bestselling author Drew Afualo aka the internet’s “Queen of the Roasts” and the reason certain men fear the For You Page to talk core memories, career chaos, and what it’s like making a living in the world’s loudest comment section. The two dive into Drew’s TikTok origin story, how she turned hate comments into a full-blown empire, and what she’s learned hosting The Comment Section. Plus, don’t miss Deep Divin’, Kyle’s custom game for Drew where they read real comments from their socials and have to guess whose they are: Kyle’s wholesome internet or Drew’s beautiful chaos.
