times. A day, would you say? pat? A

4:25

day over one hundred. May.

4:27

L L max out a lot.

4:29

Yeah, hundred. Times it at and are

4:31

4:33

of them just like oh look there's

me into trouble by it's just very

4:52

assists. Thinking in the long night is

4:54

sad and. How. Said so yeah. There

4:56

are often times I find butterflies and I also

4:58

felt that. I

5:00

love it. I will say I

5:03

think that the term influencer can

5:05

be negative and I think said

5:07

people who make money or get

5:10

same from been influencers sort of

5:12

king have a negative rap but.

5:15

What you do requires so

5:17

much work and so much

5:19

thought and so much careful

5:22

curiosity in and skill and

5:24

crafting and talent and. It.

5:26

Is truly. Have

5:29

a mind blowing and so inspiring

5:31

and so impressive. Here.

5:35

And on top of that, the fact that you

5:37

could translate that into acting. I

5:39

mean I be completely honest when they your

5:41

we've gotten to the spark as we don't

5:44

know what to expect and then we here

5:46

are we got this like your the the

6:44

you have like a favorite episode? Do

6:47

you have a favorite moment may be

6:49

from recording. Well. I

6:52

don't know a lot of my favorite

6:54

episodes were in season one. I just

6:56

really like. I love the dynamic that

6:59

en. Ella and an east since

7:01

had in in season one is that she

7:03

like in the middle like when you know

7:05

he was getting in to trouble again. Member

7:08

One of my favorite. Scenes

7:10

record that I was really looking forward to

7:12

is when they were outside of that club

7:14

and he was getting hassled by. In.

7:16

Of these these dealers the autumn money

7:18

like whatever I I g as well

7:21

as ago really pivotal moment for their

7:23

relationship and really like steered and. It

7:26

into the direction that it went to

7:28

went into and season two and I

7:30

often think those intense like darker darker

7:32

moments and and then like actually recording

7:34

one of my favorite you are when

7:36

we're in the booth and and. Matt.

7:39

As Francesca to like. Ad

7:42

lib a rat. Yes,

7:44

and box to right. I've

7:53

fun. I don't remember that you. I don't think you're there

7:55

for that one. Of it's a fun.

7:57

8:00

Lab. Yeah. And

8:02

real this time he and he's not cool

8:04

enough to go to the club. Yeah.

8:06

I think that's what they said. I think they said that. Alyssa:

8:10

How did you get involved with the project? It's

8:13

actually very interesting because. I

8:15

was emailed by someone on the

8:17

team and because say they knew

8:20

me from social media and and

8:22

8:26

like this a very valley girl

8:28

That was literally at that's all they wanted

8:52

for me they didn't even offer me I

8:54

10:21

one and good on your managers are fighting for

10:23

you and good on you for. freakin'

10:25

Following through In Black in outer in an audition.

10:29

Somewhere there's some young actor who was

10:31

told that yeah, it was her that

10:33

her role, They just said it.sundays. in

10:36

their debts Eliza cause of these and

10:38

then you sooo beds the that poor

10:40

bastards in at home like that. Yeah

10:43

and I am I the event that

10:45

about say. That L l it

10:47

happens to all of us. Yeah,

10:49

that mostly me. Can

10:52

I ask you. What?

10:55

About Allah is most similar to

10:57

you or what do you most

11:00

admire about about her. Well.

11:03

See. In our most similar in the

11:05

fact that we both are came through

11:07

our you were asking alyssa. And

11:09

I'm says. I mean

11:11

honestly I when i read

11:13

like the and. Like.

11:16

The breakdown for allah immediately I was just

11:18

like to see guys now like we are

11:20

pretty much the same person as and to

11:22

the I grew up in foster care and

11:25

on. I. Feel like a

11:27

lot of you know what Ellis

11:29

with with not you know having

11:31

those parental figures and. You.

11:34

Know I relate to that a lot

11:36

and I'd I did like for the

11:38

most part raise my spouse and and

11:40

I'm very tough the same way she

11:43

is and I think like that idea

11:45

of having sounds family you know like

11:47

family blood doesn't determine that and I

11:49

think that's something that isn't really like.

11:52

Portrayed. In media super often

11:54

you know, like that idea and.

11:57

You know, and growing up in foster care as it is.

11:59

Or Nelson. that I was always searching for

12:01

like how come I feel so alone in

12:03

this and so when Ella came along I

12:05

just I felt very validated and and yeah

12:09

we're I mean we're pretty much the same person through and

12:11

through. That's amazing. That

12:14

is amazing and I remember a couple months ago there

12:16

was a great article I think it was in the

12:18

New York Post about you and your story and it

12:21

just makes what you're doing that much more impressive.

12:23

It's impressive under any circumstances but knowing your background

12:25

and what you came where you came from and

12:27

and some of the challenges and obstacles

12:29

you had overcome is it's

12:32

really amazing. Thank

12:35

you. So my favorite part about

12:37

Ella is uh no I don't want to hear you talk.

12:39

I want to get into the episode this is a good

12:41

one. Oh fine. Right we could

12:44

ask more questions along the way. Yes I'm

12:46

joking I'm joking I'm joking. Let's do it.

12:48

It's a killer ending. Nick episode

12:51

13 a killer ending.

12:53

Bum bum bum.

12:55

Episode of season

12:57

two. We come into

12:59

this episode Brooke

13:02

uh is still in the midst of

13:04

her launch party Ella. It's

13:06

all you Alyssa. You're narrating you just got

13:09

beaten up in a bathroom and you're kind

13:11

of like shaking up. Uh

13:13

Brooke Brooke uh is going nuts.

13:15

You were telling recounting the whole story to

13:17

read. She's like she's gonna kill someone tonight.

13:20

Have you ever been in a fight by the way

13:22

because when I'm listening to this I'm like I feel

13:24

like Alyssa would beat the shit out of Brooke. I

13:27

actually have been in a few

13:29

fights in in middle school because

13:32

I was getting Chris's jaw

13:34

on the floor. Yeah but I actually

13:36

I was always the one that got

13:38

beat up. So that's very embarrassing to

13:40

admit but um I'm a lover.

13:43

I'm a lover not a fighter. Yeah

13:45

me too but you step at me. I'm

13:48

coming at you you know. What were the

13:50

fights over in middle school? I mean

13:54

I Honestly I can't even remember like

13:56

it pains me to say that was over 10

13:58

years ago. but um I remember my. Oh

14:03

Oh's acknowledge. Know. I

14:05

want to. You weren't Chris as if you

14:08

were not. Ah it's yourself and old. I

14:10

was not. I was four years added com

14:12

as one college removed from gods sorry was

14:14

a guy. It. When I was in

14:16

like seventh or eighth grade. This girl her name

14:18

is Gina. I don't know what she's doing now.

14:20

I hope she's okay, but she grabbed the back

14:23

of my hair and like. Fast. My

14:25

face and a metal pole. And then when she

14:27

saw me, she was like, oh, I thought you

14:29

were someone else. Know.

14:32

Did. You say? sorry? No. Got

14:35

like three days in school suspension I think

14:37

I had. I was suspended for two weeks

14:39

or something. Everything thousand create. I didn't do

14:41

anything I've It's not going on me as

14:43

it is a terrible. Oh my goodness

14:46

were misled. We need three

14:48

step authentications. Reduce

14:50

staring at a poll that it was

14:53

like right bear did she like drag

14:55

you and find a poll or in

14:57

the vicinity. It was like you

14:59

might be carried around. Yelling. The school

15:01

was like there was a guy like a slight

15:03

around and on the ramp and it's like to

15:05

get into the building and you'd like all the

15:08

kids like line up outside the door waiting for

15:10

mentally ill let you in at seven forty five

15:12

or ever time and I took public transit to

15:14

school side often. be there early to standing around

15:16

waiting in line and there's like a poll like

15:19

a gold medal railing say grad that man. The

15:21

pushed. Into the railing. I was

15:23

scared I was a decision occurred sought me like

15:25

I like going to miss them. See why would

15:27

you. Not be scared how that is. So

15:29

sick of he yeah I'm so sorry that

15:32

that app and me I'm sorry that happened

15:34

zoo but I love the idea of like

15:36

the girl that she thought you were like

15:38

been behind you been like gotta go and

15:41

buy that lower back in a way. Ah,

15:44

isn't science or that Abbott. that's that

15:46

steaks. Speaking of this fight though, What

15:49

was it like recording with Burgundy? This

15:51

fight scene was at Fallen. Did you

15:53

you guys like get to school at

15:55

all? or was it on. Know if

15:58

it's if it's super fine. like. We

16:00

don't like actually ever touch each other and I

16:02

get film like the behind the scenes and post

16:04

that in a member. Like all the comic. They

16:07

the top comments was I gonna hide his? I'd be

16:10

so embarrassed. At Minus none else is

16:12

there to see I was his. I wish I

16:14

was really anxious about it whenever I for do

16:16

those physical scenes in the I I quite literally

16:18

I'd just like and out of body experience against

16:21

black out to the my i want to do

16:23

the job with youth. More embarrassing than having to

16:25

pretend get beat up is like pretending to do

16:27

it in doing it bad some Amazon. Absolutely,

16:29

you know, I'm I'm doing a lot

16:32

of sketch comedy right now lot like

16:34

or every week I have a live

16:36

show and the thing that. The

16:38

most valuable lesson I've learned is. Understand.

16:41

That what I'm doing is ridiculous, but if you

16:43

don't lean into it all the way. It's.

16:46

Been you look even more stupid blizzard

16:48

when you're just doing this ridiculous thing

16:50

without any commitment and it's like so

16:52

you gotta go all out. Yeah.

16:55

Yeah and people people ask

16:57

me a lot about. Alyssa.

17:00

Some of our more intimate scenes and

17:02

and they're like how to you as

17:04

you had you not laugh had he

17:06

take seriously and it's like well what

17:08

other choice you have the you after

17:10

the oh that's what asking is you

17:13

have to put yourself in these characters

17:15

shoes and. Ah, You know,

17:17

honor them truthfully. And see

17:19

what comes out as otherwise it's not gonna

17:21

work and I think that's what makes our

17:23

podcast so. Strong. Is that

17:25

people like, really commit to it and it's

17:28

believable. And my favorite thing is people are

17:30

like I can't listen to you be intimate.

17:32

It's it's like a weird me out and

17:35

I'm like. that means I do that. I

17:37

did a good job in my mind because

17:39

if ran think it's real or if it's

17:41

so. Uncomfortable. Then. I

17:44

think we nailed it. One off

17:46

I feel like like that like

17:49

nervous energy. Elites are me like

17:51

I would just like channel that

17:53

into like. Ella. And Howard,

17:55

she's probably reacting. I mean because you know when

17:57

you're being and since the summer he will lie.

18:00

Can you really attracted to the current and you're

18:02

young, young like that? You're gonna be like nervous

18:04

and giggly and I think the fact I know

18:06

like putting some of like your real emotion and

18:09

and channeling that into. The. Seem like

18:11

really help bring it to like. Yeah.

18:14

Matter who and I remember I had over the

18:16

course last two seasons. I have a bunch of

18:18

fiscal scenes where I was fighting. You. Know

18:21

either in a fight club or fighting.

18:23

You know whomever. And. I.

18:25

Would like. Be. Punching the

18:27

air and making the effort sounds and then

18:30

I'd look up and you see the whole

18:32

booze and everyone's staring at you like a

18:34

psychopath. but. There. Was like wow. Well.

18:37

I am a psychopath. That's true.

18:39

Speaking of psycho, pass a dyno.

18:41

She's a psychopath. Silt and Dinah,

18:43

I think is one of the

18:45

two actors in this entire series

18:48

that I've never met him at

18:50

it. Now. I. Never met her

18:52

and and I never met Isaac. which

18:55

we get a i never I later their.

18:58

Their. Feet There are few people that like their

19:00

voices that come in and I thought I'd. Thought.

19:02

That they just like did it in post. I'm.

19:04

A firm believer that if I don't see

19:06

you you're not real. You always had trouble.

19:09

Santa Clause. In that way, I

19:11

I'm. Diana. Who,

19:13

whoever you are, you're wonderful. Ah, I'm

19:15

Alyssa. You did meet Dinah. Yes,

19:18

he or she was honestly one of the most

19:20

talented like voice actors I ever seen in my

19:22

life. Where you the Chelsea's. Cao

19:24

Cao Cao extent hey

19:26

okay moving on. com

19:29

os as a raid.

19:31

Sell a human psyche of them do want

19:33

her don't know what by elected british accents

19:35

and she have like that level of loud

19:37

outside. The. She was really good

19:39

and and she wouldn't do like she did someone

19:41

like the teacher like he played the good teacher

19:43

or the principal or something. They she had a

19:45

few of. The. Aisle Yes Headmaster

19:48

Berenger. And. When I would hear like

19:50

that the code switch to the next character, it

19:52

wasn't just like. Accent. or you

19:54

know dialect like whatever like she was like

19:57

a whole new person it was very very

19:59

impressive Yeah, well that's how

20:01

people react when they find

20:03

out that I play Tam. They're like that's

20:05

so crazy How do you drop in and

20:07

I change your voice, but I just sort

20:10

of become a different character Totally.

20:12

I actually think the person who played Tam was

20:14

the same woman who plays your mom. Is

20:17

that true Erica Erica? I think so Maybe

20:20

yeah, yeah Wow

20:23

Yeah Kudos a lot of

20:25

people doubled up. Yeah, not us not

20:27

us well they asked me to do Easton as well

20:29

because they you know as you know, they were looking

20:31

for anyone but you and Ultimately,

20:33

I felt bad for you. So I was like just let

20:36

Nick do it Anyway,

20:39

I hate you Ella tells Callum Callum

20:42

that she is moving in with Dinah.

20:44

So that's why Dinah is there That's

20:46

like a big scene and props

20:48

to Armin who did a really great job acting

20:51

here He was like went through all of this

20:53

grief steps was

20:55

like sad and angry then like we're gonna fix

20:57

this And I was just

20:59

like nah, nah we out we out and

21:02

and then this is probably one of my favorite

21:04

parts of the episode Isaac comes over to Callum's

21:06

like hey, I know we

21:08

just met but your wife is throwing like Furniture

21:11

and just being absolutely nuts and maybe you

21:13

should just go handle that And

21:18

I love that because it's just He's

21:21

like so out of place He's

21:25

That is funny. By the way, we we skipped over a

21:27

part of the episode early on where

21:30

after Ella comes out of the

21:32

bathroom and Brooke has beaten the hell out of her Reid

21:35

finds her and They

21:37

have this really sweet moment where reads like

21:39

what happened? I'm gonna go talk to her.

21:41

But then we see Reid Be

21:44

like I want an answer,

21:46

you know Like they've been he's been giving her

21:48

space to Ella space to find,

21:50

you know what she wants to do But he's

21:52

like, okay enough is enough I want

21:54

an answer and Isaac does the same

21:56

thing a little bit later but reads. Yeah, he does

21:59

it right here Yeah. Yeah. But Reed's like,

22:01

what's left for you in Malibu? Come back

22:03

to San Francisco with me. He's

22:05

Royals do a number on you. Yeah.

22:08

And Roy and Reed's strategy is more

22:10

like, you know, you want

22:13

it girl. You know, he's, he's like a

22:15

bit more confident about it. Whereas Isaac is

22:17

a bit more on the

22:19

defense. I think which do

22:21

you, which tactic do you think is more effective,

22:24

Alyssa, for my guy or

22:26

for anybody going after anybody? Is it

22:28

the confidence? Is it like the, um,

22:31

yeah, I would say confidence for sure. I mean,

22:33

I, and I think that Reed does a very

22:35

good job of not like going

22:37

into the cockiness, like,

22:40

you know, too, too much. But

22:42

I think in this moment he's, he's just very confident.

22:44

And I think that that is a big reason why,

22:47

you know, Ella is attracted to them. Yeah.

22:49

Yeah. So here's a big,

22:52

here's the big question. Alyssa McKay

22:54

was choosing between Isaac and

22:57

Reed. Who would she pick? Reed.

23:00

Obviously. Oh, no

23:04

question. You owe me 20 bucks, Nick. Okay.

23:08

Okay. Here's another one. Alyssa McKay,

23:10

she's in between Easton and Reed. Who does

23:12

she choose? What?

23:16

I like funny.

23:19

I like funny. And I just, I don't

23:21

find Reed that funny. Like

23:23

he's charming because he's not funny. Chris

23:28

is taking his headphones off and left the podcast.

23:30

We finally did it, folks.

23:32

We kicked Chris off the podcast. Um,

23:36

that's now the Royal boy. Well, as,

23:39

as a Reed Stan, I, that's

23:42

upsetting, but as, as Chris,

23:45

that's comforting because for

23:47

most of my life, all I had going for

23:49

me was that I was funny. So to hear,

23:51

and he really didn't even have that. Yeah. And

23:53

that was a stretch. So

23:55

to hear someone say funny

23:57

is better. Uh, that. That

24:00

makes me happy. Yeah. Nick,

24:02

who would you pick? Ella or Reed? I

24:08

don't know. I know, probably. Let

24:10

me clarify. I mean that sexually. Reed.

24:15

Yeah. Obviously. Yeah,

24:18

duh. Obviously. Haha.

24:20

Haha. Okay.

25:51

I can't take this anymore. And

25:53

so the clock is ticking for Ella. Mm-hmm.

25:56

Tick tock on the clock.

25:58

DJ make it stop. Yeah,

26:00

stop is right. Stop is the operative part of that

26:02

song because that's what you need to do right now.

26:07

Then Ella sort of stressed out. She goes

26:09

and hides in a coat

26:11

closet and she finds Valerie there. And

26:15

Savannah. Yeah, but my favorite

26:17

part is Valerie's. She's like, Val, what are

26:19

you doing in the closet? And she's like,

26:22

honestly, they think I'm the coat check girl and I

26:24

need the tips. Which

26:26

I thought is so funny. Have

26:29

you ever been mistaken for an employee

26:31

at a place where you're not employed? Either

26:33

of you? Yes. I

26:36

shot a Lowe's commercial a couple

26:40

of months ago. And it

26:42

was, I was a Lowe's employee

26:44

in it and we did it at

26:46

an active Lowe's. And between

26:48

takes, I was wearing the vest and I was just

26:50

like sitting in my chair and people were like, hey,

26:54

where's the plywood? And

26:56

I was like, I don't know, man,

26:58

give me a water. But yeah,

27:01

I was asked a lot. There

27:03

was one time I was walking at

27:05

a restaurant. I was walking to the

27:08

bathroom and this old woman, like this

27:10

old rich white woman was like, excuse

27:12

me, excuse me. We haven't

27:14

had our order taken. And

27:16

she like pulled me aside and I was

27:18

actually waiting tables at the time, not at

27:20

this restaurant. I was a patron.

27:24

And so I was like, oh my goodness, I'm so sorry. What can

27:26

I get for you? And I listened

27:28

to her entire order and then I went to the bathroom

27:30

and sat back down. I

27:35

don't know where she is. She might have started

27:37

to death, but that's what you get. She left

27:39

a terrible Yelp review. You ruined a small business.

27:42

Ellis, has anything like that ever happened to you? No,

27:45

I think, I mean, a lot of, I don't

27:47

know, I get mistaken for being like 16. So

27:50

maybe they just think that I'm like a

27:52

lost child in the storm at this time.

27:55

It's never happened. They just like take

27:57

you up front and make an announcement. Yeah. Yeah.

28:01

Oh, that's really funny. Well, I

28:03

do love this scene. I love that coat check

28:05

scene. But what I really love is so Savannah

28:07

comes out and she apologizes to Ella. She's like,

28:10

I'm sorry. I was a demon. And

28:12

she like, you know, Vince about how she

28:14

can't really be there for Easton, who just

28:16

obviously overdosed and went through all that. So

28:19

she gets really vulnerable. What I love

28:21

about this is the acting between you,

28:24

Alyssa and Hannah Montoya, because

28:27

you guys were like, Hannah

28:29

obviously was the new addition this season and you

28:31

guys came in like best

28:34

friends. She was there

28:36

every day sitting there within the booth.

28:38

You guys like were so great together.

28:40

And then when you got to act

28:42

together, I felt like it really that

28:44

friendship that whatever you guys made, like

28:46

really came to life and they helped that scene come to

28:49

life. Were you friends for a long time before this? I

28:52

mean, yes and no,

28:55

because her and I actually

28:57

followed each other on social media for

28:59

like over two years, almost three

29:02

years, maybe longer than that. And

29:05

then we both end up getting managed by the

29:07

same management company, which they have like a very

29:09

small roster. It's like three people, me, Hannah, and

29:11

like one other person. Like, you know what I

29:13

mean? So it's like very slim chance that that

29:15

would happen. And

29:17

then because of that, like when we would

29:19

go to like go on work trips or

29:21

something, we spent a lot

29:24

of time together this summer,

29:26

right before the Royals of Malibu. I

29:28

actually like helped her like with her audition. Like

29:30

I was her reader during the audition where

29:32

it was like a scene between her and

29:34

Ella. So it was kind

29:37

of, yeah, it was perfect.

29:39

But she's great. My, for Christmas, my

29:41

managers are sending her and I to

29:43

Nashville to go see Morgan Wallen together.

29:46

We're really, we're really close. Yeah. That's

29:49

awesome. You guys still wear your friendship bracelets?

29:52

I don't have mine on right now, but I

29:55

do have it somewhere and whenever because

29:57

she had green nails, I had pink

29:59

nails. She got a green friendship

30:02

bracelet and I got a pink one. And so we were

30:04

like, oh my god, this is Cosmo and Wanda. So every

30:06

single time we see anything like green and pink next to

30:08

each other, we send it to each other and we're like

30:10

thinking about you. That's

30:12

so funny. Yeah, she's great.

30:15

Nick, tell Alexa. Well,

30:18

you inspired my Christmas gift

30:20

to Chris was, we got

30:22

friendship bracelets. No, that's

30:24

so cute. It's

30:26

a TRB, the Royal Boys. The

30:30

website picture, they were much bigger and

30:32

more masculine than they are as you

30:34

see right here. For

30:37

listeners, it's an extremely thin

30:39

little rope around

30:42

my wrist. But

30:44

yeah. I

30:46

think dainty jewelry on men is cute. That's in for

30:49

2024, don't worry. Okay,

30:51

it's all you heard it here.

30:53

All you men take note, be

30:55

funny and wear dainty jewelry. Yeah.

30:58

That ends the rules. I'm embarrassed to

31:01

say I'm not wearing mine right now, Nick.

31:03

I apologize, I forgot. Literally

31:05

the most appropriate time you could have been wearing

31:08

it. It's actually the only appropriate time to wear

31:10

it, the last appropriate time to wear it, and

31:13

I'm embarrassed. But I love it. Well,

31:17

I think your friendship with Hannah really came

31:19

through throughout

31:21

the whole season, but especially in this scene when you guys

31:23

have your little come to Jesus moment with

31:25

each other, it's very nice. There's

31:27

an even better friendship moment. And

31:30

this is actually might be my favorite part, is when we're

31:32

all in the freezer. Oh yeah.

31:35

Because I remember recording this, I was like, this is

31:37

insane. Why are we all in the freezer? So the

31:40

way we get there is you're talking to

31:42

Savannah Ella and then read a text and

31:44

was like, hey, we found the original sex

31:46

tape, which is huge news. And

31:49

so they all meet up, the whole gang

31:51

meets up in a tiny little freezer. And

31:53

I remember us all pretending we were freezing

31:55

and cramped. Do you

31:57

remember doing that in the booth? Yeah.

32:00

Chris. Are you there for that? I. Was

32:02

I'm just like everyone shivering and

32:04

pretending they were free at home.

32:07

Also. That booth was so Hot.

32:10

We were filling the and June

32:12

and was so hot. And.

32:14

So we're all like sweating bullets. And

32:16

like. Isn't. A

32:18

tuck in our arms and say you know

32:21

next, the kiwi Get outta here. But.

32:24

As acting baby. Yeah, that

32:26

was fun. I love that same. Token but the

32:28

booth you are very kind it to

32:30

film a lot of the stuff that

32:32

we did in the booth and post

32:34

it was there any. Clip.

32:36

Or video that got more. The

32:38

views are love than others. Ah

32:41

ah ah ah. You know what?

32:43

you're asking this question because it's

32:45

the one of you, you dick.

32:49

Know. It's not that it's the one of you

32:51

actually. Let me jump over

32:53

see a was. As I mean

32:55

a lot of them are like like the ones

32:57

and look here in our like sixteen point

32:59

Nine sixteen point Six nineteen point like of twenty

33:02

million the is. Yeah, God.

33:04

and in retrospect, they're all

33:06

just like insane. Know

33:08

what the the highest you'd one is? I?

33:10

I'm pretty sure the highest. The

33:13

highest to be had one nineteen point two million

33:15

and it's. It's the. One. Where.

33:18

For. The sounds are working but it's be

33:20

on one with me and. Yeah,

33:26

that's what I thought it was a

33:28

lot of the are they all. Did

33:30

they all did insane And and people

33:32

really like I love all of like

33:34

be intimate moments I love like you

33:37

know like I mean any like the

33:39

arguments I I I really like but

33:41

I like the vulnerability with the Eastern

33:43

and an ally and then you'll like

33:45

Ellen read outside of the club when

33:47

she's like you know I don't need

33:49

you to to rescue me that Cy

33:51

Young, your job and. And

33:54

all that that even the scene between

33:56

me and in Savannah and where she

33:58

was like we were never. Brown like

34:00

I think. The great thing about it is

34:02

like all of the scene. And.

34:04

That I uploaded so many people would like swipe

34:07

of me like in common. Yeah yeah I relate

34:09

to this so hard on adding like one of

34:11

my favorite ones. It's like this one that when

34:13

they got the most viewed by any means by

34:16

one of the ones I was like them especially

34:18

he was the one where. Make. Special

34:20

dinner at work with the one. where are

34:22

we find whatever was a Xanax, the Benzos,

34:25

whatever and in east and pocket and like

34:27

ice I put on wide angle my father

34:29

we could see every one and it was

34:31

just me standing there too Risky. Awkward. very

34:34

nice size with selling on knows it in

34:36

the recipes. So.

34:40

Many people were like like I relate to

34:42

this and you know watermelons and that that's

34:44

just really special to me to to see

34:46

how many people relate and. And.

34:49

Am care about it. Very.

34:51

Special that's awesome Did it is that the

34:53

people that were engaging did they ever. Desert.

34:56

Like to. they ask for anything in particular with a

34:58

like we want more of this or we want. Ah,

35:02

I mean a lot of the it was like

35:04

sexual like whereas the sex scenes basically they're like.

35:08

Costs. And eventually crazy I

35:10

would add on I don't recognize a

35:12

my boys the designs public which is

35:14

very strange like I was some canadian

35:17

music festival. oh she Iga you heard

35:19
