00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,320
Hi everybody, welcome back to my channel. My name is Stasi. Thank you so much for being here.

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:10,240
Happy almost, okay say that at almost, I'll wait. I almost had valentine today.

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:15,920
I have been, well, we can have everybody almost happy. I'm very excited for Halloween this year.

4
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:22,480
I just like, I just like the ability to just eat, cope with my amounts of candy and chocolate,

5
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:28,160
and don't care about it. And I also like that I can dress up as anything and no one can judge me that day.

6
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:32,320
Anyways, love Halloween. Stay tuned for a social Halloween episode that I will be dropping

7
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:36,720
tomorrow, which I don't want to give any hints, but it is a very special episode. Well,

8
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:42,240
I am excited to have Shannon here today. Hi. Hi. Thank you so much for having me.

9
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,640
Oh my god, I'm so excited to have you here. Thank you so much for coming.

10
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,000
Oh of course. I'm glad we finally got to do this.

11
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,920
Yeah, so that's what I'm super excited. I got to thank Nardville and as well as my like producer and

00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:00,960
second most returning guests on this podcast. Love you, Nard. Love you, love you, love you. I have been

13
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:06,480
putting out the beacon to tick tockers being like, hi, like I'm stussy. I'm not crazy.

14
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:14,560
I just want to interview you. So like, you know, like, I can like get to meet more creators and, you know,

15
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:21,280
make like build out this platform because I really just interviewed people that were on Instagram for two seasons.

16
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:27,600
So I'm like, when I get into the tick tockers community and thank you so much for wanting to come here.

17
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:32,640
Yeah, of course. Nard is always good for that. I feel like he is friendly with everybody. Everyone loves

18
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:38,800
Nard and he's good for reaching out. Oh, I know. He's such a gem. But anyways, Shannon, before we

19
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:43,040
dive into this interview, why don't you tell us a little about yourself in your sims history?

20
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:50,240
Yeah, so I have been playing the sims since I was probably 10. So I started with the sims

21
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:55,200
three, which I know to some people makes me sound like such a baby simmer because I feel like every time I say that,

22
00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:01,120
people are like, well, I've been playing since the sims won. But I started with the sims three. I have

23
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:07,200
since played all the other games. Okay. So I'm caught up on the lore. But yeah, so I've been playing

24
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:17,200
since about 2011. And I started making content in 2021 in the next time. As most of us,

25
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:21,280
we're just in the house playing the sims. And it kind of just took off from there. I've pretty much

26
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:29,760
been doing content pretty consistently for the last like three years. I love that. As I've been playing

27
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:38,000
since 2003. So I feel very old saying that I've been playing this game for 21 years now.

28
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:43,760
Because I think I'm 21 years old in my mind. So it's really confusing that 21 years ago,

29
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:50,960
I was 10. 11. I would have been 11 right out. It's crazy. But anyways,

30
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,840
that was exciting. So what was your favorite ramdition of the sims?

31
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:04,160
Oh, okay. So this is always a tough question because for me, the sims three is the nostalgic one.

32
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:10,000
Like that's the one that I grew up on. And I have started playing it again. Now that I,

33
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,960
once again, have a computer that can handle her because she's a lot. Yes. But I've been loving her.

34
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,960
I really do love the sims three. I think there's a lot of things I really like about it.

35
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:25,920
Now that my computer can run create a style. I am just going loose. But with that being said,

36
00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:31,280
I do think between three and four because obviously four I'm playing all the time. Let's just

37
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,400
what we're all doing right now. But three just has like that special place in my heart.

38
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:40,880
I love it. It's such a good answer. So like I like the first sims game I ever played was the sims.

39
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:48,160
And I I can love it. I haven't had the opportunity to play it because I am on a laptop

40
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:54,000
basically a mom answering email laptop. The fact this maybe comes out episodes guys like

41
00:03:54,720 --> 00:04:00,080
is a fun novel because I have to hope I should have promised every time I turn this laptop on me.

42
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:07,200
Like oh yeah. You're staying on today. But I would love the opportunity to go back and play one

43
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:15,360
into. Now I know since three is on the shop. If you had the ability to play all of the expansions

44
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:21,760
sims to and all of the expansions from the sims, would you play it? Oh absolutely. I actually have

45
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:28,160
the sims too. I don't think it's all the packs but there is a version that's still available on Mac

46
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:34,720
that I got through the app store. So I've been playing a little bit of that but I think I don't even

47
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:39,280
really know how to play those games. I feel like anytime I do a little like surprise on stream with

48
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:44,880
it. I'm like guys what do I do? What buttons do I click? I don't know how to do this. And the sims too

49
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:52,800
is so hard. Everybody's dying. Everyone's dying. Everyone's dying. I genuinely played for

50
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:58,720
probably like two hours on stream and everybody died. And I was like guys like I don't know what to do.

51
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:06,640
Like I'm trying my hardest. I love that it is hard. I mean like at the time we were like I

52
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:13,040
remember being like my sim is always dying from the microwave. Always. Always even my- I'm like

53
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:19,680
I love this smell because at the time when Sims two came out there was nothing. Yeah, there

54
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:26,400
like nothing. This was the trailblazer and I harp on EA a lot and there are things that EA can

55
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:34,960
improve but like it's been a trailblazer game. Oh yes. This entire basically generation of gamers.

56
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:41,600
Everybody and their mother has either A has heard of the Sims or is B played the Sims in their life.

57
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:48,960
Everybody. Everybody. Well she's been around so she sees some things that she has.

58
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:55,840
I do think that the Sims two really does still reign supreme in animation. So like even just the

59
00:05:55,840 --> 00:06:02,640
cooking like opening the cabinets and stuff like that. Like I love that for her. I just don't know how to

60
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:08,560
play. I really like need to learn like they had they had cuddling. They had they had cuddling

61
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:13,360
like straight from the gate. And why did we just now get that in the Sims four and half the time

62
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:20,000
doesn't work? Because Daddy EA has problems. But like that's why a lot of

63
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:26,000
machinima creators out there still use the Sims two to create machinimas even though like

64
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:34,160
she's like almost 20 years old now because it's so groundbreakingly amazing for those just

65
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:40,960
genuine interactions and animations that just don't exist in the Sims four unless you have cc

66
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:48,000
mods or poses or added animations or you're using mcc commands. Or wicket whims or just any of them.

67
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:54,160
Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. Well I'm glad we're on the same page because I would do anything

68
00:06:54,800 --> 00:07:02,080
to play the Sims and Sims two one more time. So yes I recently a couple years ago

69
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:09,040
got the Sims one from a thrift store on a disc and luckily at the time my computer was so old

70
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:15,680
that she still had a place to put the desk. It took hours of like moving files around and doing

71
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:20,400
stuff that I don't know how to do and I played it for a little bit and I was like wait this game is hard

72
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:26,640
to. Oh this is definitely hard. I mean if you can see behind me look at this beautiful collection.

73
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:32,160
I got this beautiful. I think I can give the full thing as I'm like falling here. Yeah.

74
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:38,000
The original Sims all of the Sims two expansions now and now all of the Sims three expansions.

75
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:45,040
That is a dream. It is a dream. Thank you first of us. But like I just like I don't know.

76
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:50,080
Now I want to play the Sims. Nothing I don't like the Sims four because like every time

77
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:55,440
the Sims four to me is a cruel mistress. I'm like I'm out of this. Like I don't I don't want to play

78
00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:02,800
this anymore and then I saw please note this episode is being filmed in September. So they

79
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:10,000
were the least I came out today for the the new kids which will be out by the time this podcast comes out.

80
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:17,920
And I was like oh fuck now I need them. Oh 100%. I need I need those kids. I want those kids

81
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:23,600
and make you cruel mistress. Well because you know what at this point you're a completionist you

82
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:28,880
have all the other games you need. I feel like I was the same way for a while with the Sims four.

83
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:33,440
I was like I'm just gonna have all the packs and I can do without some of the kits and then I got

84
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:38,960
to the point where I was like no wait actually I also need all the kits. I just need to have all of

85
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:46,560
it. I need some of the kits because like the so like full disclosure like if I'm to play the Sims

86
00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:53,200
now my Sims game is very different to what it was for the last three years. I used to be a full-time

87
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:59,920
storyteller. So all I would do is create rose Chronicle chapters which basically I would put my Sims.

88
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:05,280
I would treat it like a movie set and we would just boop boop boop all animation. They'd have no

89
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:11,760
autonomy and everything was CC. So if like my CC wasn't working they were naked more rats just

90
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:22,080
running around. But now because I no longer do that I'm become a builder and now I'm like oh my god

91
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:27,520
yeah a CC build items are just swimming off and all that. Like there's just some stuff that I'm like

92
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,520
a whole new universe. It's a whole new universe. I've had I had some stuff already but I'm like

93
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:38,640
like six of them like oh my god is that okay? But like again but I'm like I want it I'm in builders

94
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:45,760
claps. So I'm like well like like I literally bought the castle pack because I wanted the castle rock

95
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:52,880
for an accent wall. Yes yes I thought it wanted it for just for that one wall. This was

96
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:57,840
that one wall or I was in C. Think it consumes like season one as a contestant and I was like

97
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:05,680
I have to buy all these packs because well it's a goh-th leak and they both pack. I got to get the

98
00:10:05,680 --> 00:10:12,080
goh-thek because it means that we need that. But yeah what were your thoughts when you saw the leaked

99
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:18,560
photos today? I am really excited. I know I was going to be excited for the new kits ever since the

100
00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:25,600
well the roadmap that came out last week but I think I am really excited for these more so then

101
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:33,040
I may have been for some of the other ones um party essentials but uh no I'm really excited. I'm looking

102
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:37,440
forward to it. They come out in like about a week now right? So they just the the 19th. The 19th.

103
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:44,240
The 19th. I'm sure that'd be formally announced tomorrow. Yes. Yeah and then they'll come out the

104
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:49,520
next week. I don't know I'm just excited for it. I just um I really like the artistry kit like I'm

105
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:55,760
liking these more builder kits. I also do have a lot of thoughts on kits that like it's kind of more

106
00:10:55,760 --> 00:11:03,680
for console players who can't have CC. I can see that. Yeah and I respect that as well um but no I

107
00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:08,960
very much. I'm enjoying this kit. Now we have to talk about the new expansion pack coming out tomorrow

108
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:18,240
but for us next month um so I'm intrigued by it. I want to hear I want to hear your thoughts

109
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:26,000
before I let you know mine. So I think intrigued is definitely the right word. As far as I've seen

110
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:32,960
I haven't seen too much in terms of like weeks about it um I know a lot of people have speculated like

111
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:37,920
room reaper careers stuff like this. I'm sure everyone's laughing at us now when this episode is

112
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:42,720
coming out because they know everything and it's coming out tomorrow. Yes but as of right now I know

113
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:50,960
very little about what the pack is gonna be. Uh both transparency my initial thought is I hope that it's

114
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:59,600
not I hope that it's not just like another bit of generations that makes people feel like I know

115
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:04,080
sometimes there's a sentiment that like Sims 4 packs are what a Sims 3 pack used to be

116
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:08,320
but broken up into 10 different pieces. I'm hoping that that's not the case and I'm hoping that it

117
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:14,880
does have a really unique element that makes it feel like it's own thing which I feel like a decent

118
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:19,920
amount of the expansion packs we have right now do. I just in the current moment don't really know

119
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,680
what that would look like because Grim Reaper career yes but I feel like I need a little bit more

120
00:12:23,680 --> 00:12:29,040
than just a career for it to just file like an expansion pack for me. I agree like I'm thinking

121
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:39,280
like so like life and death so I'm thinking angels okay death I mean like yeah kind of one

122
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:43,440
without the other I guess. Um I've also thought I'm like first I thought I'm like oh

123
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:49,440
like day of the dead that's the first thought that came to my mind because it's coming out like

124
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:55,360
around a Halloween so I was like oh cool like I hope they're gonna you know play on those factors

125
00:12:55,360 --> 00:13:02,960
and do like I am like a Mexican Spanish town and it would be so a great day of the dead please

126
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:09,680
come for me um but just like like that type of pack um I also obviously think there's gonna be

127
00:13:09,680 --> 00:13:16,400
some terocard readings like I like I could see a career maybe being like a psychic um just kind of

128
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:23,840
more of the wichy vibes as well I do hope that it's either like like a day of the dead snare

129
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:31,200
I just hope the world isn't like a forgotten hollow 2.0. Yes that's another thing I think

130
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:37,600
we've had so many themes in the Sims 4 already that obviously there's gonna be an element of like

131
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:42,640
something's just are going to repeat and I think that that's okay but I want something that makes

132
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:48,960
this kind of like stand out so it's not just like vampires and paranormal stuff had a baby you know

133
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:53,520
yes well I agree and then where wolves had a baby throw that and there's a magic like

134
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:59,920
some other like I yeah I'm very interested to see what ends up coming of it and I definitely

135
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:05,520
hope to see somewhat of a like you had mentioned that whole life and death like I'm assuming

136
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:11,920
we'll see a lot of the death side of thing but I'm curious as to what the life means right and I

137
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:19,600
was thinking about the last day I'm like if it's angels is that mean fairies is around the corner.

138
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:26,240
I make this like wings because like we need wings in the Sims 4 that are not CC we also just

139
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:32,400
the spooky stuff costume I agree or we also need like crowns and tears actually if anything I

140
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:40,480
will take a Sims 4 medieval world thank you that's all I want I could like that I think that I just

141
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:45,520
want I just want more that's what my build style is I just want like give me everything

142
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:51,360
Renaissance and I will lose my mind but what I'm hoping with this kit I'm gonna switch it back

143
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:58,320
to the kit for a second that with the artistic kit like you can paint like more genres

144
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:05,280
than what's currently allowed for painting yeah no that would be great I will say I think I

145
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:10,560
am still to this day like discovering new things in the game in terms of like I had a sim get

146
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,520
really into the painting career and I was seeing new paintings I've never seen before

147
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:19,040
and I would love to just see more of that I think I always think it's fun when they like

148
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:23,680
hide little things in that aren't like obvious like on face value I love to like find little

149
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:30,000
things later on in the game yes I agree and I think that's like the the best part of like exploring

150
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,960
and like and they're constantly updating right like there's some stuff where I'm like I've never seen this

151
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:43,120
before yeah so I love that yeah super excited to see what ends up coming from that I agree now

152
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:49,520
the only thing I'm a little worried about how fast EA is pumping out expansion packs again

153
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:59,680
because we just had one and my crazy track was that was July I guess no no not all

154
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:05,520
guess no it wasn't it was Juneer July was it August feels like last week

155
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,840
I'm trying to think here because Nard bought it for my birthday love you Nard

156
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:18,880
so I'm like it may have been late July because my birthday is in August and he had bought it for me

157
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:26,960
so I'm like well I remember intentionally finishing the 100 baby challenge in time for

158
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:32,320
love short to come out that was the the date that I gave myself and I want to say that was July

159
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:38,160
July also I just still really recent I appreciate it everybody listening to this part I can

160
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:48,960
hear them screaming at us right now being like it's just doing it I got like two like Sims

161
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:56,080
content creators went into the fuck I'm out scratching our heads but here that's that's what I'm

162
00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:01,760
talking about here like when did it come out like it just came out yeah so like I kind of hope that like

163
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:09,760
EA will slow down a little bit on content creating and just kind of you know

164
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:17,840
maybe fix something that needs to be fixed and you know we believe we don't need like two or

165
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:24,480
three expansion packs and when you're like I'll take a game pack three kits and maybe one expansion

166
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:30,800
pack in the entire year I go for a game pack yeah I could be great I want a game pack okay I

167
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:35,680
can't I don't take a stuff pack too I'll take a stuff pack I'll take a stuff pack any day right like

168
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:40,640
I'm not picky like I know they forgot about them for like two years and then they came back

169
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:45,840
but like I would take a stuff pack absolutely and you know to your point about like fixing some

170
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:51,680
things I am still having like a pretty major bug with love shock with my Sims relationship bars

171
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:58,000
plummeting within like literally a couple days will go on a date and just be absolutely in love

172
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:04,480
and two days later they're unsatisfied and on the ring of doors so I would love for that to get

173
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:10,560
fixed right about so much right I'd be like fix that like I haven't really done gameplay in

174
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:16,720
years like traditional gameplay and I don't I can't see me ever going back and doing that but I

175
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:22,640
see the community and they're just like we want this nice but like anybody listening to this and like

176
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:27,520
I've talked very openly of how much I want this stuff is don't come for the Sims gurus

177
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:32,160
on on Twitter like every like they're just they're just customer service guy like they're

178
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:38,400
they're getting a nine to five paycheck okay like right y'all need to calm down but at the same

179
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:44,640
time I just I think why we like I harp so much is because I I love the Sims and I think we all do

180
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:50,240
and absolutely we just we just want it to be the best it's like it's like the problem trial the

181
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:56,400
we know that can mean a plus student but right now she's getting she's getting seas and we're like

182
00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:03,600
but you got this like it's any you yeah so I am very interested to see I know that they do have

183
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:08,640
this new team the laundry lists are getting longer and they have this team more dedicated to bug fixes

184
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:15,600
I'm very interested to see how that goes in the months of all I'm excited about the idea of

185
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:21,600
hopefully getting more bug fixes but yeah there's a couple that I know like with stuff like that like

186
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:28,720
if my Sims can't say married I've got a problem yes especially this is literally last expansion

187
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:33,200
hack was about love right now all my Sims are just having one night's sands it's not cute

188
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:42,720
chaos though yeah love that so many broken homes

189
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:51,120
good oh amazing well I got to talk about your hundred baby challenge because you've actually

190
00:19:51,120 --> 00:19:56,800
successfully did a hundred baby challenge and you didn't really relatively quickly I did which is crazy

191
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:01,760
um like I tried to do the hundred baby challenge I mean who hasn't tried to do a hundred baby

192
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:09,840
challenge yes I got to like I got to two toddlers and I cheated and had it any and I kept the same

193
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:17,200
dad because I was like you know it's my it's it's my game I do what I want and um yeah I keep up

194
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:25,120
after two toddlers I was like this is awful um my Sims can slow it like I'll have

195
00:20:25,120 --> 00:20:29,600
what anybody willingly do this I want I want to hear all about the successes of your hundred

196
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:36,000
baby challenge and how you were so successful and getting it done so quickly absolutely so I

197
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:40,960
started the one hundred baby challenge in the beginning of 2024 I believe my first day was

198
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:49,280
January 8th of 2024 and I was streaming it so I was doing it primarily over on TikTok and

199
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:55,840
I will say having other people keeping me company kept my sanity during a lot of points

200
00:20:55,840 --> 00:21:01,120
the hundred baby challenge seems all fun and games but I wouldn't argue it's one of the hardest

201
00:21:01,120 --> 00:21:08,720
challenges in the Sims universe it is challenging I will say I was telling everybody the hardest

202
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:14,960
part is honestly the first seven babies because until you get in a rotation of constantly having an

203
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:20,960
older kid in the house it's just you and little ones and that is hard but I really got in a groove

204
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:26,800
of always having like an older kid in the house to help out with like the younger ones and cleaning

205
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:31,360
and fixing the sink and all that so once you get past that first hurdle and you always have an

206
00:21:31,360 --> 00:21:37,440
older kid it does get a little bit easier but yeah I did it in six months, six or half months,

207
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:49,840
one baby mama, no additional matriarchs it was all her what a woman yeah so how are you able to just

208
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:56,560
keep it as one matriarch the entire time so Sims don't age while they're pregnant yes so

209
00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:03,680
what my girl Matty, my name is Matison, um I so one thing that really helped me I feel like a lot of

210
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,200
people when they approach the hundred baby challenge they're like as many babies as quickly as

211
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:11,120
possible and they go for like the fertile trait and they go for twins and triplets every time

212
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:17,040
having one baby at a time I never had a single set of twins one baby at a time

213
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:23,040
kept her pregnant longer because the household didn't fill up so fast so she just kept having

214
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:27,360
one at a time and at that point there was a kid who had gotten their school and was ready to move

215
00:22:27,360 --> 00:22:32,480
out so she just was almost constantly pregnant the entire time so she really didn't age that much

216
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:39,520
so you started as a young adult and she ended as an adult is that how you did it yeah so I started

217
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:46,960
I like created her in cast and like day one of existing the salomon pregnant and by the time we

218
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:51,440
ended she had a step into an adult because there's always those awkward little times where she's not

219
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:57,680
pregnant at midnight and she ages up a day here and there but she was very early into being an

220
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:03,520
actual adult she had plenty of time plenty of days to go by the time we finished so she just stayed

221
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:09,200
pregnant she's not pregnant I poor girl yeah just imagine throwing a hundred footballs out your cookie

222
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:18,240
or I guess in the Sims the weird machine yes just getting violated by that claw machine so many times

223
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:23,520
so what like how did you financial support because I know the rule that you she can't have a job so

224
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:31,200
like what how did were you able to make smallans for her so I started out painting because I

225
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:37,840
feel like that's what everybody always says is like just paint um now I don't know if this is technically

226
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:45,760
cheating but I eventually just got a money trash can yeah and not money trash can made me so much money

227
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:50,080
it's not cheating it's just normal I Kelsey and peach okay had the same thing on her hundred

228
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:56,400
batch yeah just throw that in there you make by the time I got the money trash can we never

229
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:00,800
worried about money again I think I ended with like 300,000 smallans because when you have that many

230
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:06,720
kids and that many plates and nobody cleans up after themselves yeah I was just nonstop dragging things

231
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:12,880
into the trash can how much is it per plate in the trash can do you remember so it's

232
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:21,840
$10 per sim in your household so because I normally had the mom and six of the kids and then she was

233
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:29,920
pregnant I was always getting like $70 a plate we were loaded yeah well if there's 10 plates or

234
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:34,960
extra out of plates all your kids are just eating and it's not just plates too is anything you

235
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:42,320
can throw in the trash can so bottles diapers piles of food on the floor everything cups we made

236
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:50,400
a lot of money just throwing out garbage I love that who's your favorite child oh okay I had a

237
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:57,440
couple when you have a hundred you're obviously gonna have a couple yes so my first my first 50

238
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:03,520
kids I named after the 50 states in the United States because that helped me keep track of them so

239
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:10,080
I just went through the 50 states alphabetically so Connecticut I loved he was I guess well you literally

240
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:14,240
just named them after the states I first thought like maybe like a second like a part of the state

241
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:23,040
no I named them literally the 50 states in order from Alabama and Wyoming because I could keep

242
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:30,880
track of a museum oh my god did you like attempt to dress the like the states to like per state

243
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:36,800
every once in a while I would give them a makeover and more than dressing them to the state I tried to

244
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:46,240
dress them to remind me of who their dad was so like one of my kids Arkansas I loved her she was

245
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:51,120
Brent Hacking's daughter from the cats and dogs pack so I had her in like a cute little cats and dogs

246
00:25:51,120 --> 00:25:55,520
hair and stuff like that just to kind of to me I felt like you know that's like their family or whatever

247
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:01,200
but half the time I didn't do their outfits because they were so in and out it was just it was a

248
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:07,440
baby making factory most of them didn't say round very long did all of your kids survived to the end

249
00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:18,480
so so little controversial so I would say I counted every kid who made it to young adult once you're

250
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:28,480
a teen you can a you a jack check done you did it yes I had one Oklahoma who I just become a young

251
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:35,840
adult yep she did it walked in on someone in the bathroom and died of embarrassment

252
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:42,000
I didn't even get a picture of her as the young adult so on the wall in the house was just a picture

253
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:53,120
of her her but she was a young adult so I counted her okay and everybody else survived we just

254
00:26:53,120 --> 00:27:00,400
lost the one okay yes okay so she named the the first 50 after the first 50 six yes what you named

255
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:07,040
the other 50 so after that I started letting my subscribers on TikTok live name them I would just

256
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:12,400
let them randomly pick names and I would do first and middle names like two people got to name each

257
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:17,440
baby so they just started getting real funky after that because people were just having so much fun

258
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:21,120
with it just because that was like whatever you want to name it I don't care they don't have to be names

259
00:27:21,120 --> 00:27:31,040
we had people named mango and taco and avocado and just whatever they wanted I want to hear some

260
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:35,760
of these names please has like again the first 50 I got you here a little baby New York

261
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:42,720
here for her you text us yes but I want to hear about like taco cheese case so junior I got

262
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:51,440
one here about this yes we had one okay mango I think was actually Bob mango obviously obviously

263
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:59,600
oh I had a baby with patchy the scarecrow and they wanted to name him patchy junior so we just

264
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:05,440
called him PJ cute okay this yes you okay like some of them are really cute some of them were

265
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:11,200
cute the grim reapers baby ended up being grimes because I had a baby with every single

266
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:21,920
man in the game okay nobody was safe I just did all the townies so yeah um yeah PJ was a cute one

267
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:27,600
grimes was cute we had one who they just really wanted to stick with the geography thing we named it

268
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:34,960
Puerto Rico okay it was just a mix like and I will say it was a lot easier to keep track of them when

269
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:40,400
they were named after states after that I didn't have an order they were just named so randomly that

270
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:48,240
I barely knew who was who off the time but people were just like going with anything a food or

271
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:54,080
their patch name or their kids name or whatever like we were just all over the place at that point

272
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:02,160
I was crazy I love up yeah it would you would you ever do this challenge again

273
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:08,880
so I get asked all the time why don't you make a 200 why don't you do it again

274
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:20,080
I have said on the off chance that they ever add a preteen life stage I will do it again

275
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:25,920
because it'll give me like a new element like a new something to do I wouldn't do it again right now

276
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:32,160
just because it does get repetitive like it gets to the point where you are just in such a routine of

277
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:38,640
homework and potty training and getting pregnant that I kind of I just wouldn't find it like

278
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:43,600
exciting to do again unless it had like that new element of a different life stage or something

279
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:52,000
I got to see if they're going to add a new life stage I do pray that it's not

280
00:29:52,000 --> 00:30:03,680
a free team I would like it to be a golden years oh okay why do you go from 45 to 110

281
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:13,040
I'm just I'm just saying yeah I think a lot of the the jumps are a little dramatic

282
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:22,560
yes because also like why do you go from 2 and a half to 9 yes I think it's just I wish I

283
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:27,200
know would be so hard to do and with the clothes I get why it doesn't work but I do wish that

284
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:35,600
there was a little more of like a transition you know what I mean yes 100% from a story to

285
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:43,440
having perspective why does a 6 year old and a 12 year old look the same yes yes I saw somebody's

286
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:49,280
TikTok oh I wish I could remember who it was somebody made a video recently of they through

287
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:54,880
their like hid sims a birthday party and then all of a sudden the kid ages up and is like a teenager

288
00:30:54,880 --> 00:31:00,640
in this room full of children and it's like so awkward right because they're like because

289
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:06,400
but the thing is is between teenagers and young adults there's no difference yes they just look

290
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:11,680
they just look oh like I mean the cheeks are a little less clump that's it and they might get like

291
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:21,440
unabagged but like that's it you know how annoying that is to be like how like it's not a 13 year old

292
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:26,720
that's not a 13 year old and let's run fucking riverdale then it's a 13 year old right like is this yeah

293
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:32,960
I would 14 year 14 year old look now because I'm like y'all look old I know and then they age

294
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:38,560
up and they just like go up a cup size and that's it like right like oh bigger boots that's

295
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:46,160
right but like it's so difficult to be like how am I supposed to tell people that like no they're

296
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:54,800
nine here just changed the hair right right now making someone look from a young adult who

297
00:31:54,800 --> 00:32:02,640
an adult is easy because you age right but like yeah I guess child to child it's hard but I still

298
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:08,160
stand we don't need a pretty I would still I would like a golden year like above

299
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:16,720
I'd be like okay like the hotter baby challenge yeah so it would increase it to that but I just

300
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:22,960
I just want seniors to have something for say I do think they need more activities and I know

301
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,720
that's something that some people are speculating going back to like the new expansion pack

302
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:34,320
it's like give us some stuff to do leading up to our death yeah like I would love to see like

303
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:41,600
like retirement homes or community centers dedicated towards that or honestly I want someone to make

304
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:51,280
a mission of any old lady movie like 80 for Brady I fucking love that movie it is completely hilarious

305
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:55,920
but I just like I want to see like I just want to see some old ladies get in trouble okay

306
00:32:55,920 --> 00:33:02,640
yes that's not a bit definitely more elder activity something and I wish again I I don't

307
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:06,400
make video games I don't know what goes into this but I know that in the Sims 3 elders had

308
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:11,920
canes and they were cute sea level old people walking around yes I have I've been saying this

309
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:18,080
fears I would like to see canes and wheelchairs yes yes even for anybody to have a wheelchair you

310
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:22,560
don't have to be elder to have a wheelchair just having that see you're able to create yourself

311
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:28,320
and have that proper representation of having oh absolutely wheelchair or or having missing appendages

312
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:32,480
sorry I didn't mean to cut you off oh no no no you're good I just on that note I do think

313
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:38,880
we need a lot more like disability inclusion whether it is yes like implications wheelchair

314
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:44,560
accessibility and even just like adding more scars into creative sim I feel like that would help

315
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:49,360
I know if they've done sea section and they've done top surgery but as someone who I'm pretty

316
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:54,800
open about this on my platform I had a thyroid activity last year because I had thyroid cancer

317
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:58,960
yeah I would love a next scar on my sim self you know what I mean I feel like that's something

318
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:03,200
that could be added pretty easily that would make a big difference to people whose bodies look

319
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:10,000
different I could have a great part yeah scars scars yes it's like it's a normal part of life

320
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:15,040
and they have started adding those I just would love to see a lot more especially it really

321
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:19,440
came to my attention I always knew that it was something that was important but then as someone

322
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:25,680
who now has a visible next scar I really was like wait why can't my sim have that well that's

323
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:31,600
exactly it right I've ever just be like I want to be able to make myself to my authentic self and I'm

324
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:38,880
not going to hide from my scars see something I would like is stretch marks yes

325
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:50,960
at a proper bodies because I mean no one's got fucking perfect skin in their 30s 40s 50s 60s

326
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:57,040
we got lumps of fat we got stretch marks okay I got stretch marks to my fucking eyeballs okay like

327
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:03,040
I would like I would like to see that in the game that's not CC yes I think skin texture

328
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:08,320
there's in general you know we all have little discolorations I know my cheeks are always a little

329
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:13,520
rosier you know and stuff like that I think would be really cool to add in like maybe more options

330
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:18,080
for birthmarks and moles and things like that like why can't we just paint our sims the way I

331
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:25,520
can paint my horse exactly my horse look more like me I'm so dumb now the only thing I have a

332
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:30,080
request of daddy yay for listening to this you need to get the freckle on the hand like

333
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:35,680
everybody has a freckle one freckle on their hands I have like a huge spot there you go I have

334
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:41,600
my eyes right there and my other my other hand right here yes literally I remember being this

335
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:46,320
bud speed article like I don't know like 10 years ago being like everyone has a freckle or

336
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:53,280
freckles on their hands yeah I'm like yes yes I again like I'm freckled from like had to

337
00:35:53,280 --> 00:36:01,040
like head to yeah give me like freckles give me like speckles give me like all that good stuff more spots more

338
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:07,360
spots yeah exactly well they give her tell me all about your hundred baby chance I saw that you

339
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:14,080
could play that in like six and a half months and I'm like yes how is that like humanly possible

340
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:21,920
well and you know what helped was a lot of 10 11 hour stream days because I was also doing like a

341
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:27,920
campaign on my stream for like a good month where I was streaming for almost a month straight like

342
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:33,280
10 11 12 hour days so we got a lot of time in that way otherwise I'd probably still be doing it but

343
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:39,920
how do you stream for 10 hours I'm just I'm just really curious I can barely maintain like a podcast

344
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:45,120
and it's good they can range from 20 minutes to three and a half hours yeah so how can you stream

345
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:50,240
for that long without being like I got a pee I need to poop I need to eat and I need some water

346
00:36:50,240 --> 00:36:55,040
uh you do all that on stream oh okay frintastic especially the peeing and pooping right I guess

347
00:36:55,040 --> 00:37:00,400
let me show like that's on there I tell everyone that I'm peeing the listen what I'm doing when

348
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:10,800
I walk off cameras none of your business but um no I was so I did it for I would say about like four

349
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:15,200
weeks straight it was just for this campaign on TikTok uh you got like some swag I

350
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:20,880
did it and from TikTok if you got a certain amount of points and I was going to get this back

351
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:26,960
pack and sweatshirt so I streamed almost the entire month straight I was eating lunch and dinner on

352
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:31,760
stream I was literally on pretty much from when I woke up until about two or three in the morning

353
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:39,040
and I would not recommend doing that all the time that was definitely not healthy by any means but I was

354
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:45,440
just committed to the backpack so that's what I did but since then I definitely kind of had to step back

355
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:50,480
and get like healthier boundaries with like the amount of time that I'm putting into content creation

356
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:56,320
because it is hard as a content creator I'm sure you know as like there's no one telling you to do

357
00:37:56,320 --> 00:38:01,600
what with your time so I feel like I always find myself on one end of the spectrum way over working

358
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:07,040
myself and not giving myself time to do anything else or really slacking and I feel like that's one

359
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:11,760
thing that is really hard to find a balance on it it really is and and you're bringing up a really

360
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:17,600
good point here is like as content creators like we are our own bosses so we get it we get to

361
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:23,520
decide our schedule and we get to decide what we put out um I can I can speak for my personal journey

362
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:28,480
on this podcast so I've been doing this now for three years I just passed three years doing this

363
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:35,360
which is crazy to think about having over 230 episodes to my name and three years is a lot of

364
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:42,720
episodes I worked like a fiend throughout um the last year because this was a revenue stream

365
00:38:42,720 --> 00:38:49,280
for me at this time last year and I was getting married so I was trying to come in with money left

366
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:54,240
right in the center and I would like film an episode of a podcast like I used to film

367
00:38:54,240 --> 00:38:59,840
six to eight podcasts in a weekend so I'm times I would film four to five podcasts in one day

368
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:06,000
I would start at seven in the morning and ended nine p.m. at night and there there are episodes because

369
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:14,160
I as I was making my my thumbnail for my three year anniversary I every single thumbnail I've

370
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:19,280
ever made for any of my interviews was on there and I was like I interviewed this person

371
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:27,200
what did we talk about I can't remember right so like I set this unrealistic healthy boundary

372
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:33,040
because I was going to be the best I was gonna put out the most episodes I was gonna be heard

373
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:38,160
but it affected my relationship with my friends and my family because they just didn't see me

374
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:43,920
and they couldn't maybe understand why this was so important to me they supported me but didn't get it

375
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:50,880
so then I took this six months to battle and I was like oh like I loved TV and I love movies

376
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:55,920
and I love my friends and I love my family and I missed this for so many years I'm very much

377
00:39:55,920 --> 00:40:03,600
enjoyed this summer of like I'm just gonna do whatever I want and it was good yes yeah I think it's

378
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:07,920
hard and you know I always say when I talk about content creation because people always ask

379
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:12,640
oh my gosh that looks like the dream job like how do you do that and that's I could talk for hours

380
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:18,800
about it but I do think one of the hard parts about it is a lot of the times you're doing it alone

381
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:25,600
you know we don't have the traditional coworker to bounce ideas off necessarily and there's really

382
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:31,280
you create your own boundaries you create your own schedule and there's not a lot of resource to guide you

383
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:37,760
in that and so a lot of us especially because you know it's still a relatively new field

384
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:41,920
we're trying to figure it out the best that we can and there's not like there's not a lot of resource for it

385
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:51,440
I agree right and like I'm sure as you have hit that that moment on TikTok when you get a video

386
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:58,480
hit a crazy amount of watches and you're like oh my god I've made this this is like the best

387
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:03,440
like I can't believe this it was like throw away video I'm gonna start posting like crazy to keep this

388
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:09,680
trend up and then your next video gets like three views and a Batman symbol so like you're kind of like

389
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:19,280
okay that sucks I put so much time I put 10 hours into this video

390
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:28,080
no one saw it but me showing my phone on screen being like yeah and it gets like 10 million views so

391
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:35,920
like it's so humbling on that aspect as well absolutely I think there's a lot that goes into it

392
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:40,640
that we all do a really good job of making it look like you know everything's sunshine and

393
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:45,040
rainbows and we're just playing a game that we love and we are and I will never lose like how

394
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:50,800
grateful I am to be able to do this full time and be able to be just like a voice in the community

395
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:56,640
and have my platform and all that but I think we really don't talk about like the hard parts

396
00:41:56,640 --> 00:42:01,840
of it too and how it it is exhausting and it does like really if act as much as we try not to

397
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:07,040
let the numbers and the hate comments and everything get to us we do we like we're human you know

398
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:19,040
oh absolutely that's why I have for a TikTok yeah it is something else to say the least I don't

399
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:26,240
see it because I have like 225 followers which is pretty sad if you think about it for TikTok but I don't

400
00:42:26,240 --> 00:42:33,360
care but think about 225 people in a room staring at you yes or when these podcasts get thousands of

401
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:38,640
lessons that was as a people are listening to these podcasts absolutely that is hedge ever I

402
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:44,240
couldn't I couldn't even make a speech at my wedding without like twisting over my tongue to say thank you

403
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:50,960
and there's like a hundred and something people in that room so yeah it's interesting that like

404
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:55,600
this is something like I've talked a lot on this podcast and we've hosted several mental health

405
00:42:55,600 --> 00:43:00,480
podcasts about this and I'll continue to talk but it's very important it's really easy to just

406
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:07,520
get distracted with a goal or comparing yourself to another creator that's a big one too yes

407
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:11,200
it'd be like well we started the same time why are they blowing up and I'm not blowing up and like

408
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:15,600
we're doing the same thing and it's why like why are they why are they more successful than me and

409
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:20,080
then you get imposter symptom and then you're like well or when you do blow up you're like I

410
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:26,800
have deserve this like why why should people be watching me this much and then you start to spiral

411
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:33,280
and you think why like why am I even doing this then or like I'm not worth this time or you

412
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:39,600
read a bad comment which I love reading those comments thank you trolls you keep me active

413
00:43:40,240 --> 00:43:47,520
engagement yeah exactly keep sharing that my love you but you take me on a bad day

414
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:55,120
yeah that's gonna hit me no matter how strong I am one negative comment could

415
00:43:55,120 --> 00:44:03,280
ruin my day absolutely yes absolutely so what do you do in that scenario to protect yourself

416
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:09,520
and protect your mental health being a content creator so I will say I think it's something that

417
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:14,240
I still am learning every single day as new things come up that is not even something I

418
00:44:14,240 --> 00:44:19,040
ever thought I was gonna have to worry about one thing that I've done from the get go is

419
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:25,040
protecting my platform as much as I can with blocking keywords from comments and and things like

420
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:30,320
that and in my live chat blocking keywords things that I don't even want to see it because there's a

421
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:34,880
lot that I can just handle but of course we all have our sensitive points where it's like I just

422
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:39,840
know to protect myself I can't even see that but there's only so much that that can do people will

423
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:45,200
find a way to get past the keywords and stuff like that um yeah I think that's something that I still

424
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:50,960
am kind of learning I know I do have I know I mentioned that content creation can be lonely but I

425
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:55,280
think a lot of us have made those connections and I found like our quirk groups of people that

426
00:44:55,280 --> 00:45:00,000
we have our little group chats with where we're like why did somebody say this to me and just kind

427
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:05,280
of like type each other up so making friends in the community has been really helpful but I know that

428
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:11,280
that takes time to kind of build those relationships with people um but yeah just having friends

429
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:17,840
and sometimes just a good cry sometimes you just have to cry I agree having friends in the community

430
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:24,000
is amazing I have the best support network love you so many people out here I've just

431
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:30,400
awesity you're just so awesome but just having that support system can really help you no matter

432
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:35,760
what aspect of your life that you're dealing and because if you feel like you're alone you might not

433
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:39,760
make the best decisions because you're acting like you're alone or not having like a

434
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:44,080
asking somebody for a second opinion or being like should I do this or should I do that?

435
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:50,480
um now I gotta ask if you're having a good cry what is your like if you're having a okay I'm

436
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:56,320
I'm giving you an hour you're gonna cry your eyes out are you like watching a movie or are you like

437
00:45:56,320 --> 00:46:00,080
pilbee we're crying?

438
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:09,600
oh um I will say I have to give a little shout out to one of my best friends in the community

439
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:15,440
Austin Fennler because if I'm crying I'm on FaceTime with Austin Fennler oh my god I'm 100% of the

440
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:19,200
time. Austin if you're listening to this can you please check your DM because I'm trying to interview

441
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:28,800
yeah I know he has been by far like I would say in the last year or so like my

442
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:34,080
person to the point where we just like joking and call each other like co-workers like he is like

443
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:40,480
my go-to in the contact creation world of like someone left me a hey comment I'm so it's like I need

444
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:44,800
to talk to you or like I don't know what to do in a video like I needed advice and that's why

445
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:50,000
like getting back to like I think it's so important to make those connections with people who get

446
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:56,080
it because as much as we can have friends and family and boy friends and husbands if they're not

447
00:46:56,080 --> 00:47:00,800
doing content they they don't get it like they know that you're an awesome person and someone shouldn't

448
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:04,800
have said that to you or that video shouldn't have gone a small amount of views or whatever but they

449
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:13,040
don't get it you know yeah because they're not in it they don't know they're like yeah no you

450
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:17,840
it's definitely you need someone who's who's in it you know and knows what those numbers mean

451
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:22,000
and stuff like that I got you well thank you for sharing that with me and I'm glad you I'm

you know nervous it's a test it is a test I'm gonna say the original one absolutely you've

472
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:44,640
what is the grand prize okay so what is the best next next to two yeah how is our revenge

473
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:52,000
and I have no notes it's really I didn't know count no count those are but is too because that's

474
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:59,280
when they know that no count those are just three because that's when they have the Halloween

475
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:06,560
town kids in the town with marney and they create the folk because this oh is it the second one

476
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:10,560
this is just another example of everyone listening is gonna be yelling at us no if you're

477
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:16,800
able to feel the count on our revenge is the second second one because that's when they open up

478
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:28,320
the portal between the towns yeah yes and how Halloween town high is the third one yeah and

479
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:34,640
then there's Halloween town University which doesn't exist yeah yes yes so cows have

480
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:39,680
the revenge the second one and then how we'd yes because I was combining both movies as like no

481
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:49,680
let me think here also twitchy is a phenomenal I watch that so good both movies because so

482
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:58,160
guide um I love to hand to marah I want a I want a Disney plus sequel I want to third one I want

483
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:08,400
them their kids yeah oh I love them I'm I used to watch like even after like sister sister into

484
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:12,800
which isn't everything like I watch like the like t-end tomorrow show I was obsessed I love them so much

485
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:18,960
so much it's it's just so good and like the movie was just it's just it's still hold up okay it's

486
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:24,320
everything I was watching sister sister last year like everything still holds up it's still hold

487
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:30,160
up to compare to like some of the stuff that Disney channels putting out now yeah like I just

488
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:36,640
feel like a lot of TV and stuff like bring back like 12 season long shows with 24 episodes of

489
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:42,080
season like bring back TV yes okay I want to hear because we're almost 10 years different so like

490
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:47,440
what TV did movies did you grow up on because I'm just I'm just curious I'm very curious to see this

491
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:53,360
okay so I will say I got a lot of older siblings and older cousins so I feel like that's

492
00:51:53,360 --> 00:52:02,560
ways me a little a little more closer to millennial than I am Gen Z that's fair but I would say growing

493
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:09,600
up like I was in the Disney Nickelodeon era of like Hannah Montana was a really really place

494
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:17,120
that's a Ravens Sweet Life that kind of stuff but then I will say I was far too young watching

495
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:25,040
like friends George Lopez like I movement like all the back end of time I appreciate George Lopez

496
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:30,720
I don't think anybody's thought about that show it like 20 I think George Lopez

497
00:52:30,720 --> 00:52:36,480
worth it again and all this on the plane like there's just something about like two in the

498
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:45,360
morning like the theme song the trampolines like the something about it there is like that was like

499
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:54,320
the sick call me show back there's so many of them yeah it has like at that time how I met your mother

500
00:52:54,320 --> 00:53:04,240
was so good besides selling a trash and a big bang theory those were like the two I just

501
00:53:04,240 --> 00:53:08,560
watched big bang theory I mean I'd seen episodes but I literally just a couple of months ago finished

502
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:14,400
watching it all the way through I'm obsessed I'm currently watching young Sheldon and I know that

503
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:20,800
there's another show coming out that like George and whatever like their first marriage sure yes

504
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:25,120
George and Mandy's first marriage I think it's called coming out soon I'm just so locked into the

505
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:34,640
universe right now I'm so locked in I love that but see I has a millennial I'm a 93 so the cutoff

506
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:40,960
96 so I've always kind of geared myself more to the Gen Z ears because yeah I don't consider

507
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:47,280
myself a 90s kid even though it was born in a 90s I was seven when it ended yeah seven you

508
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:55,200
own a watch when I was seven oh come on and see my moon okay like everybody else but like I

509
00:53:55,200 --> 00:54:01,440
grew up on Lizima wire oh yeah like that's what I knew what a fucking brawls for was that episode

510
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:06,000
I will I remember I like love I want to bra because Lizzie has a bra that's like nine

511
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:13,200
pro oh she's like no you're too young like no no that I need a bra but like I like loved that

512
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:20,240
so I really loved all the original movies the cheetah girls yes so good do you remember I think

513
00:54:20,240 --> 00:54:26,400
goes Nickelodeon unfabulous do you remember that's fabulous yep that's that's a good show up on my

514
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:35,040
iPad from unfabulous I love that show and live up like all like the Nickelodeon shows so that would be

515
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:43,360
Victoria so I want to one I carly I carly oh Dragon Josh Drake and Josh was I heard it's coming

516
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:49,840
back which I'm interested is it like Drake Bell and Josh pack are they yes I heard that they are

517
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:57,200
coming back for this spin off of it oh wow okay I'm keep the reason I'm you about that because like

518
00:54:57,200 --> 00:55:02,880
the past we're not gonna get into what the one of the actors did or I don't know if he was

519
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:10,720
they were convicted of it this is not the podcast discusses however Zoey 102 was hot garbage oh yeah I

520
00:55:10,720 --> 00:55:16,160
watched that yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah it was crazy about it it was one of those things where it

521
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:21,360
was like further nostalgia of course I was gonna watch it yes and I'm glad I've seen it just for the

522
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:29,280
lore but yeah I wasn't crazy about it right so like I'm like I'm very hesitant of stuff like

523
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:34,640
I'm really sad that the Lizzie McGuire repo didn't happen because of the greatest differences

524
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:41,520
of Lizzie having a sex scandal like that would have been amazing obviously Disney can't get pastes but

525
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:49,200
now you have Deadpool in your catalog so like fuck you but like I'm really hesitant about stuff

526
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:58,000
like I didn't like Raven's home I didn't like the proud family repo they're making a wizards

527
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:08,000
away really place one oh yeah oh yeah I'm excited for that but like who's that before that's not a millennial

528
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:14,960
I'm just gonna be watching those my cousins I don't know if like kids are gonna watch it

529
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:19,520
yeah because kids are gonna be like who's this right if you watch the I haven't seen all

530
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:24,880
that so they've seen a couple that like I Carly reboot did you watch that I did not because I was

531
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:31,600
not a big I Carly fan I was more I was a Disney Cartoon Network girl the only thing I watched

532
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:38,320
that Nickelodeon was average her the last airbender which I still stand old but nominally

533
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:44,480
to the staff how good it is but that's all I ever kind of watched on Nickelodeon oh and obviously

534
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:54,160
like the Amanda show and I can't remember whatever her stand up show was because it was kind of

535
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:58,720
it was kind of like a Saturday night life but for kids I think it's all that I'm pretty sure it's all that

536
00:56:58,720 --> 00:57:05,600
yeah yeah yeah well wasn't it all that and then the Amanda show she get her show from being on all that

537
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:10,240
yes something on the Eliza that but yes I have to have all other things that we yeah we're not gonna do

538
00:57:10,240 --> 00:57:14,640
yeah we're not gonna get into quite on set here guys this is not how I want this podcast

539
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:21,680
not that kind of show but I'm not an expert to see you got any matters but yeah like a kind of

540
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:27,360
you're saying like I would really like TV to come back but also I don't because I love many series

541
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:32,640
so I can like binge through many series I also like my my shows being 18A like if I

542
00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:40,000
doesn't have blood boobs and swearing I can probably not gonna watch it yeah I think we need

543
00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:47,840
a mix you know what I mean because I do I I want a show that I can get committed to but then I also

544
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:52,560
need little shows in between but then I feel like there's so many that like I'm watching right now

545
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:57,920
where I watch like my 10 episodes that I'll come out on the same day and then I have nothing to do for a year

546
00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:02,160
you know like like I'm waiting on Jiny and Georgia I'm waiting on the summer I turn pretty

547
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:07,360
like I've been waiting for a year right and because it's like the that's like the downfall

548
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:11,920
streaming but now what streaming services are doing obviously is like one episode a week

549
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:16,480
yes to me to feed the purpose of streaming you just don't want people to just spend their money

550
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:22,000
you're gonna free trial for a day and binge through series I get that right but at the same time like

551
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:29,760
like I'm obsessed with the show from it's become a very unhealthy I don't think it's a very dark

552
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:36,640
twisted show it is phenomenal 80 okay comes back um it's in like 10 days from now and I'm like

553
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:42,480
cannot wait for this but this is the first time I'm watching it's coming out like by episode it's

554
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:47,600
not coming out as a drop but I'm like faster it's like you think with a stranger things season five

555
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:54,000
comes out that's not gonna be like part one of the final season comes out this month and part two

556
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:59,920
of the season finale comes out some months yeah right so I will say I'm okay with like some

557
00:58:59,920 --> 00:59:05,520
of them have started doing where you get like say like five episodes and then like another five

558
00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:10,320
next week because what I like about that is like then everyone has time to kind of like be on the

559
00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:16,080
same page like it's not like oh well I already watched the entire season so you need to go start it

560
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:20,880
like today you know like I like to have it a little space out but not by months yeah so it's kind of

561
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:27,840
like what Netflix does like the circle or yeah love is blind kind of idea like yeah I think Richard

562
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:33,360
had did it the season right they like they really did yeah I was thinking too of like squid games

563
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:39,200
did it I think squid games yeah yeah squid games is another one of like again like I do like shows

564
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:44,480
with a whole world stops rolling like rolling for like one minute because everyone is watching the

565
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:50,480
show yes and then you're I was like sure not watching this oh my god like I think the last show

566
00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:56,720
was squid games everyone was like you need to watch this really cool watching this right

567
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:05,600
but no I love that I hope you have the best spooky season it's my favorite time again I will

568
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:11,280
I will start actually by now I would have finished it but well this is filming I have three

569
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:17,600
Saturday morning in October I will watch a Halloween town and then I will follow that up with a twitch

570
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:24,240
or twitches or any other not champion like Halloween episodes so like any like the sweet

571
01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:30,640
uh it's the second Cody in a that's a Raven any of those like fun can't be Halloween episodes and

572
01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:39,200
yeah I prefer can be over spooky or scary any day of the week yeah I mean I'll watch a horror movie

573
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:46,080
but I will in my eyes close oh I'll scream like a little girl if I say oh yeah like I do watch a horror

574
01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:51,600
movie a couple times a year just you know keep my keep me on my toes and yeah the shin on me

575
01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:58,160
yeah but like it's not a movie I'm gonna go run to but I am excited to see B.O.G.B.O.G

576
01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:04,320
like we talked about this. I can see it's psychological horror but like I don't like a herreditary

577
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:10,240
kind out or like what was I think there was one um oh what was it called I want to get the name right

578
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:17,760
I think it was like the killing of a sacred deer or something that was just like creepy but it wasn't

579
01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:26,480
like it wasn't like gory demons jump scares and that's okay I jump scares get me do jump

580
01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:32,160
be for jump scare hurts oh yes I don't need I don't need help yet I jumped like jumpy scary yeah

581
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:38,640
like I do that you can mess with my mind but like I can't do the like the super scary

582
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:44,640
nope are completely got you well I hope I guess that I hope you enjoy spooky season

583
01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:50,880
now one real final question if anybody want to see you know start their tech talk journey

584
01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:59,200
um how would you do it and what advice could you give them okay so I would say for anybody who is

585
01:01:59,840 --> 01:02:04,720
starting to get into content creation whether it's gaming or otherwise I think my biggest piece of

586
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:12,960
advice and I know it's kind of cliche is to just do it it's embarrassing your relatives are gonna

587
01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:16,960
see it your neighbors are gonna see it the people you want to school they're gonna see it you have to

588
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:23,680
just get over it and do it because you are gonna find the people who think it's really cool and

589
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:28,880
are proud of you for being able to be vocal about that you know and you'll find your people you'll

590
01:02:28,880 --> 01:02:34,080
find your little corner of the internet so just do it just post be consistent you're not going to

591
01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:42,560
give you a video you never post so get it out of the drafts hit the button and yeah I think that is

592
01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:48,000
the best advice I've heard of as podcasts you don't you get zero views of posts you do not post as

593
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:53,360
