  • so I thought I might as well just start off this Q and A with the biggest question.

  • I know it's the one that all of you guys have been waiting for, a kind of nervous to answer because I feel like it's gonna be so controversial.

  • And it's a really big thing in my life.

  • And that is, do you like pineapple on your pizza?

  • And the answer is yes, it's fucking delicious.

  • Please don't subscribe.

  • All jokes aside, I asked you guys for some questions on my instagram, and you guys actually sent me a really good ones.

  • So let's just jump in.

  • My first question is, can you enlighten us with your most embarrassing stories?

  • I was thinking about this question, and I think my brain has done me a favor and just selectively deleted all of my embarrassing memories from high school and middle school because trust me, there were a lot.

  • But I will tell you one embarrassing story that happened to me quite recently, literally like three days ago, and that was just long story.

  • But I was in Seattle and I was meeting up with a friend of my friend who just moved there and we hit it off.

  • He's the type of person that I would start a podcast with, which is coincidentally, also my main criteria for a boyfriend.

  • The next morning, I immediately texted my friend Victor to gossip about it, You know, as one does.

  • I was like, in whole caps.

  • I'm not the coolest fucking guy last night.

  • His personality is literally un 11.

  • And I looked down at my phone and I realized that I've sent all of those texts to the guy that I got drinks with talking about him.

  • Yeah, I wish I was making that up because it sounds so cheesy and so absurd.

  • Like, of all the contacts in my phone, I had to text the guy I was talking about.

  • I could just, like, feel my entire soul just corrupt waking to a ball and slowly moon walking away from my body.

  • Luckily, he was actually pretty nice about it, and he was like, Oh, make sure Victor gets this message.

  • And also, I think your personality is 11 so that was very sweet.

  • But also, I don't live in Seattle.

  • I think I have this problem where I always date people who are in the wrong city or about to move to the wrong city or I'm about to move to the wrong city, so it never really works out.

  • But that's the tea on my latest romantic endeavor.

  • Okay, And a related question that I got a couple times was Do you have a boyfriend, which evidently I'm not.

  • Trust me, if I did, my instagram feed would be about 1000 times better, cause I make him take, like, 700 pictures of me per day.

  • But yeah, I am living that single life right now.

  • Actually, for a while, I was pretty angsty about it, especially when I first got to call it, because I feel like the expectation that the adults in my wife and my parents set out for me is that you meet a lot of important people or like the guy you're gonna marry in college, literally at, like, 18.

  • As a college freshman, I was like, I'm not gonna find my soul mate here, but, you know, it's on the fucking big deal.

  • My eggs aren't dying anytime soon, and even if they are not sure, I want kids anyway.

  • So, like that Who is your celebrity crush?

  • Growing up My first ever celebrity crush was Joseph Gordon Levitt, in inception.

  • Have seen him in that suit in that hotel, running around like a spinning hallway.

  • That is my new fetish.

  • No, just kidding.

  • Come.

  • But he is very handsome but tragically married and with a kid now.

  • So if you get divorced Joseph Gordon Levitt, you know who's coming for you.

  • How many relationships have you been?

  • I have been in to the first guy I dated was actually the first guy I ever met off tinder, and the first guy really ever talked to you on tinder.

  • That was at the end of my freshman year in college around two years ago.

  • Now there's something about falling in love for the first time.

  • And there's also something about falling in love for the first time in a new city that's like, so magical.

  • After we broke up, I was so salty and like, so heartbroken.

  • This is dramatic, but I was so heartbroken that, like my body physically hurt.

  • I know if you guys have ever experienced that and I hope that you never have But like shit, that was rough I spent an entire summer being so brokenhearted over this guy.

  • In retrospect, both of us thought we knew what we were doing.

  • Relationship and sex lies and we super didn't.

  • So it was a learning experience for both of us.

  • I figured out what I wanted.

  • A relationship.

  • I lost my view.

  • Cars like that was fun.

  • And then my second boyfriend ever was actually earlier this year.

  • He was coincidentally, also the first guy who ever asked me on a take in 10th grade.

  • And we were both so incredibly awkward then that we like it didn't work out at all.

  • We've actually gone to school together since elementary school, so I've known him for ages and we tried to do long distance, but it didn't work out long distance crossed any of you guys who could do it.

  • But it is so fucking hard.

  • Like my parents did long distance for three years from California to England, which is insane.

  • And then they got married at the end of it, and they're still happily together.

  • And I wish I could be like that is just so hard for me, I think, especially when I'm so busy when I'm in college and I don't have a lot of money to pay for flights across the country every couple weeks.

  • And I wish that I could be some type of like, virtuous and lofty human being who like Well, I only need great conversation to sustain a relationship.

  • But I really need the physical aspect, too.

  • And that doesn't just mean sex.

  • That also means just being able to, like, hold hands with somebody or cuddle with somebody or like experience your life together.

  • And that is so hard to get in a long distance relationship.

  • So it wasn't for me, but also a great guy.

  • Um, I feel like I'm giving what yelp reviews of these relationships.

  • Would you rather sweat mayo or poop basketballs?

  • Girl.

  • For the sake of my asshole, which I would like to keep intact, I would say sweat mayo for sure.

  • If someone decided to make a movie based on your life, who would you want to play?

  • You Hands down Jesse Eisenberg.

  • I just want Jesse Eisenberg in like a wavy wig as you guys call me all the time.

  • I talk super fucking fast.

  • I think he's the only actor who could actually depict that at film school.

  • I actually have the unfortunate reputation off loving Jesse Eisenberg like Way Too Much, which is a weirdly specific reputation, tohave.

  • But I think he's a brilliant actor I fucking love.

  • Like all of his quirks, I just find hilarious.

  • Sometimes at night, I just watched Jesse Eisenberg interviews to, like, Comfort Me.

  • That somebody with the same level of social anxiety and piece of speaking is like, popular in the world.

  • My next question is any tips for going on dates in or using absolute dinner?

  • I used to be a lot more uncomfortable on a lot more nervous on dates, and I would always worry whether I look perfect and whether the guy would like me.

  • But I think it's important to remember that an equally important component of the date is whether you like the guy and just whether you buy like you're interviewing him as much as he's interviewing you.

  • Obviously on dates everybody is presenting the best version of themselves.

  • But I think as long as for the most part you're being super honest about who you are and what you're like, then there's no reason to be nervous because if they don't like you for the way that you are normally and the way that you're acting on the date, then it's just like oh, didn't work Similarly with dating profiles, I think it's really helpful.

  • It's like actually express who you are in the description.

  • Like, I think a lot of people try to stay in mysterious or just seem like they aren't trying by putting the weakest bio ever, like Maryland to L.

  • A.

  • What?

  • How do I tell a whole personality from you?

  • If you had, like, a weird sense of humor and stuff like put that shit in your bio because just gonna filter out anybody who doesn't buy with it?

  • What is your worst or weirdest tinder date?

  • Oh, boy, the time that I went over to a guy's place for drinks and I witnessed two of his roommates get into a physical fistfight over the last roll of toilet paper.

  • One of them called the cops on the other one.

  • And then I had to leave because I was about five shots of vodka into the night, and I was born in 1998.

  • So you do the map where you planning on living after graduation?

  • Would you ever live in New York or do you see yourself settling down in California?

  • This is a question that I ask myself pretty much every day and I don't fucking know.

  • Obviously, there are things I hate about L.

  • A, but also especially is somebody who's like a little bit introverted and socially awkward.

  • It's hard, and it takes several years for me to actually feel like I have a group of people that I like in the city, and that was something that was really hard to do in L.

  • A.

  • But I feel like I finally have people that I can hang out with, and so I'm kind of scared to move to another city and try to do that all over again.

  • But I also always wanted to live in a bunch of different places.

  • I talked about New York all the fucking time.

  • Obviously also, that ties in with Michael for your decisions as well.

  • If I want to keep doing YouTube, I can do that anywhere, even though l A is kind of hug for it.

  • But if I want to work in traditional film and TV than that.

  • Something that I basically have to do in L.

  • A.

  • So, yeah, I probably shouldn't be taking life advice from Internet strangers, but also let me know what you guys think below.

  • I always felt deep down, like I'm a New York person, and that's always been like my dream of adult Ashley is like she's thriving in her SoHo apartment.

  • Also, I just find New York guys like incredibly attractive New York accent Fuck me up any day.

  • So there's that as well, a less important factor, but still one nonetheless.

  • Our expression is What's the tea?

  • The tea 100 thing today is a stash premium, a green tea that I may or may not have stolen from my hotel in Seattle because I wanted some free key packets and this tea tastes good.

  • Okay, okay, we're back on tinder questions.

  • Apparently, this one is what's your tender, vile?

  • I have had the same tinder bio sins I first downloaded tender like two years ago, and that is skills baking, pretending like I know what I'm doing with my life weaknesses, pre food samples capitalization and coming out with lists of more than three items.

  • What's a word that bothers you.

  • The word bucolic.

  • Why?

  • Why does it sound like such a harsh and disgusting word?

  • It sounds like a disease, but it means relating to the pleasant aspects of the countryside and country Life.

  • Why English?

  • Why did you do that?

  • Weirdest sexual experience.

  • This one guy tried to convince me tohave tantric sex with him.

  • But he was like one of those white guys who was, like spiritual but not religious and had also made a solo trip to Thailand to find himself.

  • You know, he was like, Oh, you gotta breathe with me.

  • But like, the breathing pattern was wrong.

  • I was supposed to breathe in while his dick was going into me.

  • It was just It wasn't working for anyone Milk first or cereal first.

  • Now, this is a question that really sticks with me.

  • Because one time when I was a kid, I genuinely couldn't remember which one was supposed to go first.

  • So I put in the milk first and then pour the cereal on top and my family saw And like, all made fun of me there.

  • We got hot, actually.

  • What a fucking idiot.

  • She put in her milk first and that traumatic childhood experience still stayed with me to this day.

  • And I will forever remember that I should put cereal in first and then the mill, because that's how my parents raised me favorite brands to hit up When you're not thrifty, Urbanoutfitters is the only store that consistently does it for me.

  • Other places that I shop are a sauce top shop, Zara, those air all usually kind of hit or miss for me.

  • But I can find a couple good pieces that I like per season.

  • I thought this was an interesting question, which is what do you lack?

  • I think the biggest thing that I lack in my life right now is an actual, like healthy living schedule.

  • I just kind of wake up and like smash the root many activities as possible until it's like three I am.

  • And then I have to go to sleep again, which is not healthy for anyone, Probably also just like self care.

  • I've never been good at that, so that's also something that I left that I will probably continue to lack until I have a mental breakdown and then I'll figure it out then any tips for people with major insecurities about their bodies around two years ago, when I was a college freshman, I was the most insecure about my body that I had ever been.

  • It was just like something that was always on my mind and was so dumb because it was taking up so much brain space.

  • You know, I would say, First of all, if you do have Social media unfollowed people that are making you feel insecure about your bodies or who are putting out on realistic expectations, think of these people as people who you surround yourself with every day, even if it's just online.

  • And you should be selective about that like you are with your friends.

  • Especially now.

  • There's so many different types of social media accounts and so many really stylish, really confident, really beautiful girls off all different shapes and sizes.

  • And there's somebody who's gonna look like, you know, you could look at and be like, Yes, she is beautiful and I am beautiful, too, I would also say, when I was most insecure about my body, I think it was also when I was most insecure about my life and my career.

  • and my social life and personality in general, and I think everything kai's hand in hand.

  • So if there's something that you could do to that makes you just feel like a kick ass boss moment, whether that's like studying really hard, learning to cook really well doing something that you've been putting off, I think that confidence can also translate into confidence about your body.

  • Who should pay for the first date?

  • This is a controversial one that I have had many a debate with my friends about it.

  • I'm going up to somebody and asking him out.

  • I think I should be the one to pay for the first date.

  • If he asked me out, he should pay for the first date.

  • I think generally it's just sweet and considerate.

  • If both people offer, I do kind of like it, though the guy like, insists it takes the check.

  • And then I think whoever didn't pay for the first state should pay for the second date.

  • So it all kind of evens out.

  • But you're still like paying your check together because somehow that feels that are I don't know.

  • That's just my opinion.

  • What is your favorite TV show of all time artistically and narratively Breaking bad is stunning, but right now Bojack Horseman just hits me like right in the soul.

  • I never thought I could relate to a depressed, alcoholic animated horseman so deeply.

  • But man, that show really does it for me.

  • I got a couple questions about what's your type slash.

  • What's the type of person you would prefer to spend your life with?

  • I think my ideal guy is still shifting as I go through relationships and, like, learn what works and what does it.

  • But I think I would want somebody who is equally ambitious and hardworking as me.

  • But in a different way.

  • I feel like it would drive me crazy to be with another film person and God forbid another YouTube person.

  • But more importantly, I think I just want somebody who can.

  • This is so cheesy, but like could be my best friend.

  • Now we're getting into some shit that parents ask you during Christmas time, which is what are your career goals and plans after college?

  • Well, Mom, for right now, my plan is to continue doing YouTube For a long time.

  • I had some type of guilt about YouTube not being a legitimate enough job or being kind of an embarrassing job.

  • But I still feel to a certain extent because a lot of people just think you make Don't ask videos on the Internet, and I do make dumb ass videos on the Internet.

  • But I put a lot of work into it, and I also think it will be great as a young person straight out of college.

  • If I do want to move like I mentioned, I want to move to New York.

  • I want to live in London someday.

  • This job actually allows me the flexibility to do that, which is absolutely amazing again.

  • Thank you so much for letting me have this job.

  • That being said, I know that nobody stays cool on YouTube forever.

  • I hope that you guys will stick around for a long as possible.

  • But I'm also obviously thinking long term about my career goals, so I also want to transition into some type of other business or production company or skill set that I can use elsewhere when people don't think I'm cool anymore.

  • I've been falling really behind on my drifting and reselling, and I would love to actually turn it into a business and hire people and eventually have my own clothing line on the video production in the side of things.

  • I already also freelance, edit and shoot videos for some other clients, all the traditional film side of things.

  • I also genuinely think that YouTube is a great way to break into that industry.

  • I know the traditional route is to work up as a P A or a writer's assistant and work your way up through the room.

  • But I think now increasingly, it's about showing people that you already have an audience and you already have people that relate to you and hopefully, like, find you funny.

  • So I think eventually that would be a good way to transition into being a show runner or a director or standup comedian.

  • I don't know.

  • I'm sorry.

  • I just through word that you've like five minutes right, But basically I have a lot of ideas about how I want advance my career and my business, so that's all turning in my head.

  • But in the meantime, I'm gonna be doing some YouTube stuff.

  • What's your go to catch phrase?

  • I don't this is a catchphrase, but I love the phrase.

  • Cheeto.

  • Cheeto.

  • Out of heat is a little low effort, so I like to throw in the Tokyo to express some extra enthusiasm.

  • What's the best smell in the world?

  • I love this question because I have a very specific answer for those of you who don't know, my dad's side of the family is from London, and when I was a kid would go to visit my grandparents in London.

  • They had the most adorable but super tiny town house, and they didn't have a dryer for the clothes, and we would spend so much time hang up laundry on little clips in their little backyard.

  • Every so often, somebody in my apartment building will use the same laundry detergent that they use and it walks through the windows of my bedroom.

  • And it's the most delightful fucking thing.

  • I think I'm getting sweaty Welcome to athlete life.

  • So he asked, Have you considered being a lawyer?

  • You seem to know your stuff Well, honey, I may know my stuff about YouTube videos, but I know nothing about the law throughout middle school and high school.

  • I wanted to be so many different things.

  • Like a graphic designer and engineer.

  • A youtuber was actually on my list.

  • So I guess that worked out for me on architect.

  • Interior designer, a Supreme Court justice and lawyer was also on the list funding enough.

  • That was actually what I wanted to be up until I was applying to colleges.

  • And ultimately, when I decided to go to film school, my mom was actually relieved because she was straight up like athlete.

  • I genuinely think you would make a bad lawyer, but I think you'd make a pretty good filmmaker.

  • So at least you have a shot.

  • What song would you use to serenade someone to ask him out?

  • I would use Levy on Rose.

  • I pronounce that so wrong.

  • The friend You're screaming, Livy Rose.

  • That's also not right.

  • You know that song and it is delightful.

  • It's so sweet.

  • I would play that, like from a boom box like outside somebody's apartment.

  • If I was really trying to win them back, I would slow dance to that shit in my wedding.

  • Great song.

  • What's your favorite Wes Anderson movie and why?

  • Hands down!

  • Fantastic.

  • Mr.

  • Fox, I know it is not his most popular or most well respected movie.

  • But that shit hit me in the fields so hard I cried so much.

  • For some reason, relating heavily to animated middle aged male animals is a theme in my life.

  • This one was a hot topic that a lot of you guys asked me about in that Do you tell people about your YouTube, your friends, family and tender days?

  • This is something that is new to me, because for the longest time, I didn't tell anybody about my YouTube channel.

  • I was really embarrassed of it and afraid people would judge me, especially because I grew up in a high school where obviously nobody did you to.

  • That was fucking weird.

  • Nobody was in the film industry.

  • Nobody did social media either.

  • So I was very diligent about hiding it from people for a long time.

  • Once I finally hit 100,000 I told some of my best friends.

  • But then I found out that they already fucking knew because the film freshman at U.

  • C.

  • L.

  • A.

  • Had somehow googled me and found my YouTube channel, even though they must have been doing some like Sherlock level snooping because I don't have my real name attached to my channel, but they all found out and then they told everybody else in the film school.

  • So I think most of my class knows my family.

  • I have not told yet because they are all science PhDs.

  • And I would think this is absurd.

  • My mom actually makes comments about of the time.

  • That's like, Oh, you haven't instagram Actually, that's so dumb that people are posting pictures of themselves are like, Wow, people who make flogs of themselves are so self indulgent.

  • And I'm like, Well, shit, you know, one day you're gonna find out about this and it's not gonna be pretty, I think, or at least I hope that one day you'll see that my videos are like pretty good.

  • And it's something that I genuinely enjoy and hopefully not something that I just do tow like jerk off to my own image on screen, you know?

  • But part of me also is scared that they will genuinely think that I'm a shitty person for doing this or a selfish person when obviously you know there are bigger problems in the world that I could be working on admittedly like people are suffering, the climate is changing, People are dying everywhere, and I'm not fixing any of that.

  • So I really hope that they aren't disappointed that I'm not tackling that.

  • But I am doing something that I love, and hopefully you guys enjoy, too.

  • And I hope that for now, that's enough.

  • So you have to tell them at some point, probably after I graduate, to explain why I don't have a normal job.

  • Oh, and then tinder dates.

  • It's not on my profile because I feel like I don't want people like stalking through my entire YouTube Before they meet me.

  • I feel like there's a whole set of preconceptions and stigmas around being a YouTube person.

  • Previously, when it was more of a hobby and not, you know, my main gig, I didn't tell my boyfriend's about it.

  • But now if it comes up all, just say what it is because ultimately I should be following my own advice about dating.

  • And if they don't like that, I do YouTube than I probably should not continue dating them, so they should just know that up front I am getting so slutty now.

  • Flooding is my main personality trait.

  • Would you rather have pubic hair for teeth or teeth for pubic hair?

  • Bitch?

  • My gut reaction would be chief for pubic hair, because then at least if you have normal teeth, you can interact with people in everyday life and put I feel he wouldn't be able to pull out the teeth from your vagina like you would pubic hair.

  • You know, you can't just shave that shit all.

  • And unfortunately, I don't think anybody's fetish is just their Penis getting tourney up by a bunch of teeth on your vagina.

  • So I would have to say pubic hair for teeth.

  • I think I would just, like, shave them once a week and then wear dentures so I could interact with horrible people.

  • Well, I'm glad we have that issue, so Okay, I have been talking for about two hours now, so I'm gonna wrap it up with my last and probably most asked question, which is advice for starting a YouTube channel slash instagram slash the whole social media sherbet.

  • My best advice is just start YouTube today.

  • It's something that you can do.

  • Even if you don't have good equipment, just do it on your phone edit on free software on your computer and just upload it.

  • It doesn't have to be good.

  • Almost guaranteed.

  • It's gonna be a pile of shit like my first videos were.

  • Nobody's gonna watch it maybe like 100 views at best.

  • But learning how to be good at YouTube is just like anything else in that.

  • It takes time and it takes practice.

  • And if you start doing that today, then you're just gonna keep getting better.

  • As you go, you know everything from like not being super stiff and awkward on camera toe getting the right poses for instagram the cinematography, editing, upload schedule.

  • All of that is just stuff that you learn over time.

  • I honestly think the reason that most people don't succeed on YouTube is just cause they stop.

  • And for me, I started my channel back in 2015.

  • It was about a year and 1/2 before I even got 10,000 subscribers.

  • So just keep that in your mind.

  • No, I'm gonna do this for a year or two years, and nobody is gonna give a shit about me.

  • But one day, like two years from now, I'm gonna make some take outs, videos.

  • It's gonna be some quality Ask content.

  • Then the subscribers will come related to that.

  • Some people also asked about being afraid of being made fun of.

  • We're trying to keep it a secret.

  • You know, I wouldn't encourage, like hiding aspect of yourself to anyone.

  • Obviously, I did it.

  • I had my YouTube channel for about, like, two and 1/2 years, and even though it was stressful and kind of Sugito have to hide it from people.

  • I'm also glad that I did for me that allowed you to to be like an escape from the rest of my life.

  • When I uploaded a video, I was never afraid that I was gonna go into high school the next day and people were gonna judge me about it or make fun of me because first of all, nobody was fucking watching those videos.

  • But second, well, if they were, it was because they love fashion like me.

  • And they understood YouTube and they were gonna, like, mock me for it also just allowed me to, like, fail miserably at the beginning, I could make some dumb ass videos.

  • I could really be myself on camera and nobody was gonna judge me.

  • So that was really nice and kind of therapeutic.

  • And if that is something that you would prefer to do as well, honestly, it's not hard.

  • Just don't put your full name as your user name.

  • Just make it something else.

  • Be careful on Instagram, though, because if you do create another account that's on the scene phone, it'll pop up in your friends recommended accounts so they might be able to see you, especially if the profile picture is of your face.

  • So that happened to me a little bit in the beginning with my best dressed instagram.

  • So I just had the icon for a while as my logo instead of my face, which helped people not look at it.

  • Just use a different email or log out of your personal account completely before logging into your you to slash instagramming instagram account.

  • Okay, I am so sweaty, and I also need to pee ferociously.

  • I hope that this was the key that you guys clicked for.

  • I hope that all of you guys were new to my channel.

  • Got to know me a little bit better.

  • Thank you.

  • So much for watching as Louise and I will see you guys next week, but oh, God!

  • Time to turn up the sand.

so I thought I might as well just start off this Q and A with the biggest question.
