DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
art that you're putting out or something you're putting out that feels vulnerable because there are a lot of vulnerable parts of my book. Of course. Hearing people's commentary on that is not something I'm willing to entertain, especially because in so much of the book, I talk about like my family and like my sister and my fiance.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
Like I talk about very intimate parts of my life that I don't typically do online. Totally. Totally. So I think that's why I was feeling like wary of it. And also, I didn't want to be another influencer book, which is like with because like, like, I don't want people to think you want to understand.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
Yeah. Like, it makes sense for me to do this. If you really think about it, like, you know, sometimes people come out with shit and you're like, that doesn't make any sense.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
It's like inauthentic to their brand. I felt like this was authentic. So I just didn't want it to be perceived in that way. Totally. But it wasn't necessarily like I was willing to entertain revisions to it. In fact, I said this the other day, like the only reviews I've seen that were they're not even negative. They're just kind of like whatevs. It's women going. I already knew like most of this.

That's and it comes with it. I think it comes with it. Like after I made the bestseller list. Oh, you would have thought anyone who had any negative commentary about that. Would be shut up. Well, you would think that they're all New York Times bestselling authors, too. Oh, sure. Because every single one of them was like, that's fucking easy. It's easy to get on that list.

The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
I agree. And it's like, it's also a very freeing feeling. Like what you're saying, it makes you feel grateful. I agree because I feel like whenever people ask me, about growing a following or whatever, I always tell them if you care at all about getting hate in any way, like it really cripples you, don't do it. Yes. I was like, don't do it. Don't do it. And I mean about anything.

Yeah. Your integrity, who you are as a person, like you're the tone of voice, the way you dress, the way you stand, the way you talk, like everything about you. Totally. It's like up for perception. Totally. And to be scrutinized. Yeah.

We were trying to figure out what we were going to be because like me, my fiance, my sister and my cousin all went. And so I was like, I was thinking about being Caleb. And we were like, oh, let's all just be Caleb. So we all just looked up pictures of Caleb. And I was Caleb as Palmer. Right. In the movie Sweetheart from HBO Max.

The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
I think the same thing. I defend the Internet as angry as it makes me on a daily basis. I say all the time, like I said it in a Forbes interview recently, like I was talking about how the Internet has given people who would never in a million years get a chance. Like it has given them access.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
It's given them a door like into the world that is so exclusive, so closed off and so riddled with nepotism. Some of us don't know anyone in the industry. There's no other way. And then if you factor in looks or any sort of intersection of oppression, like the amount of famous people we have today, like we wouldn't have a lot.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
We wouldn't have anyone like Caleb or like Chapel or like anyone that could access.

That's incredible. I know. We loved it. Did anyone else do that or people were... No, I saw someone was Andy Reid, which is the head coach of the Chiefs. Okay, so it's the magic. Well, that was the best one in my opinion because he had like a headset and everything and the big old mustache.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
it took me probably like two and a half months, but that's just with everything I had going on. It probably would have taken me longer, but I had to like, I was in crunch time because I opened for Caleb. I was one.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
Yeah, please. Next time I'm there. I would love notes too from you for real. Oh my God. But like I did one with him and Chris Fleming, Chris Fleming opened after me and he's a genius. Like, Well, both of those people, that's an intimidating. You know how like sometimes athletes will donate their brains to science because they want them to study concussions? That's what I did.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
If that ever happens, if something, God forbid, knock on wood, anything ever happens to Chris Fleming, I call dibs on that brain. Okay, you want the brain in a jar. I want to open it up and I need to look inside of it.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
well that's a compliment I've never even weirder and even funnier in response to me saying that absolutely I want to I want just a piece of it I just need to look yeah so I opened for the two of them who are comedy geniuses which is daunting enough for me as it is I'm sure you were incredible because it's also like it's about energy it's about confidence and you're right it's not just about that the hours but yeah I agree and well and Caleb helped me tremendously and he's not gonna lie to you no never and it
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155

The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
No, not at all. Yeah. The stuff that is bangers with friends is, wouldn't work in a standup setting. It's just so different. It's such a, it's literally an art form. Yeah.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo

Oh, hers are crazy. But she told me she left a set once and she killed like, and she was like, I killed quite frankly. She said, I left. And this guy followed me out and was like giving me notes on my tags and my jokes. And then at one point he goes, you should be writing this down. She said, she goes, why would I do that?

The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
I agree. And also like crowd work, crowd work doing well on on places like TikTok is is truly making it's emboldening men to believe they could do it for real.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
I agree. A different crowd work is not purely stand up like stand up to me is is completely new and original material. Maybe crowd work in there. Right. But like it's it's ninety nine percent jokes that you wrote.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155

The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
That's actually such a good point. I've never thought of it that way. It's like even we don't trust our own opinions on stuff. Oh, right. I'll tell you what. If a bunch of men are laughing at me, I'm either getting mad or I'm worried. Oh, right. Nothing I feel is joyous in any way.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
When we were dancing, I was like, it feels like we're on the set of like a teenage rom-com. Like we were in the kissing movie. When it's like a fake party.

Yeah, you're already trying to win the room. Exactly. Like, you're fighting a losing battle already.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
But I think that's why when women joke about shit, like, it's the funniest thing I've ever seen. Like, that's why I found you so unbelievably funny. Thank you. Because it's shit that is so, first of all, harmless. It's not hurting anybody. But it's also so specific. And it's like something I... That's like my favorite kind of humor is like when it's so niche and specific.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
And when women joke and laugh about it, like it's fun. It's sisterhood. It's community. When men get a hold of the trends or jokes, you're like, you guys ruined it.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
That's what I'm saying. I think that's why women are so funny because women are inherently self-aware people.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
and self-reflective and that's what it because we're forced to be i agree that's why we were joking about it before we started that like when people say mean shit to us sometimes it's funny yeah and we respect the craft right so we're like you know what you got me and and that's we were like it's a little like that was good it's a little like okay
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
Because it was such a big space. Yeah, and everyone's like dancing and then there's no music playing when they're shooting the movie. Yes.

DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
In like a much less threatening and not funny way. Because well, because straight men like that too, it's like their idea of comedy is punching down. It's always punching down. That's why it's not funny.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
It's true. And I'm curious, like, how has it been taking your comedy experience, your acting experience, all of that into your book? Like, how has that been as far as, since you're not, you said you're not in the book, right? Like, the voices.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo

And his party would never be like that. No, never. It would never be random. That's why it felt like such a like... Like, it felt like when you dance with your arms up, your eyes closed. That's how it felt.

I said, he doesn't care. Well, he's my number one fan, but he doesn't bother him because he hates attention. So if I'm the only person being looked at, he's okay with that. He wishes that wasn't the case for me, but when Aquaman came out, Obviously, that was years ago, well before I did this, when I was like normal working human.

The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
No, Sons of Anarchy, I stopped watching after they killed off Opie, which is like the long beard, long hair. It was too much. When they killed him, I said, hey, fuck this show. That's how I felt about Vampire Diaries. Did you watch Vampire Diaries? I'm a really big Vampire Diaries girl. Me too.

Yeah, and I put on Vampire Diaries. Episode one, when they meet for the first time, Stefan and Elena, he goes, that guy's supposed to be in high school. That 38-year-old man. He couldn't. And then I go, turn it off.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
The episode where him and Elena were like friends forever, right? The day I watched that episode, I closed my laptop. I said, hey, fuck this show. Never watching it again.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155

The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
But that was the initial. That was the initial. I'm out. That's so interesting.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
I thought Caroline should have ended up with Klaus personally.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
I think so, too.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
When I rewatched it, though, like recently I watched a few episodes. I get it. I get her being with Damon. Like when I initially watched, I'm like, I'm a Stefan girl.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
Also, I'm a Virgo. So like if I don't get the ending I want, I quit. So when you sense it coming. Right. Have you ever watched? And I can and I can tell I can predict it because I'm always right as a Virgo. But also, have you watched The Summer I Turned Pretty?
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo

But the third book, like I read it to a point where I found out the ending I wanted wasn't going to happen. Close it, haven't finished it.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155

The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155

The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
or go do like ayahuasca or something and like transcribe it yourself and it'll be like a really spiritual I should write it into a screenplay invite all my friends over for a party and instead I make them read my screenplay and it's a live reading yeah And I'm the main character.

The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
Yeah, the actual house and all that.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
I mean, obviously it's an audio original, but it's like when you read, like when you read books, you don't have pictures. You're just like imagining what it is. But now it's even more immersive because you have a whole cast and everything.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
I like what you're saying, I think, when it sounds like you've done a lot of research.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
And I think it also takes place around.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155

The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
Send us some. OK, so before we wrap, I would love to know what is your like best piece of advice for women, especially who are really want to pursue acting or really want to pursue any sort of entertainment art form and maybe feel a little nervous. Like you were describing how you felt or like feeling judged or worried about being judged.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
Like what would you say is your best piece of advice for them?
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
Yeah, totally. And you'll make it happen if you really want it to happen.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
Totally. I feel like a lot of my guests I've had that are like you too, like they've been in traditional entertainment before this and then now they're kind of running them at the same time. They've all said similar to what you've said. Like the whole point is to is to be able to make the art. It's not to like garner any sort of accolade from it. Like that defeats the purpose of making art.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
Their accolades are nice and attention and fame is nice and obviously it's perfect, but it works well within the career, but that's not the point. Like what you're saying. And it can't be the point. Yeah, it can't be the reason why you do it.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
It's like most of it. Right. Like you were saying, like self-tapes are the worst things in the world.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155

The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
DIFFERENT ENERGY Ft. Sabrina Brier | Episode 155
and then there's a part where drake just comes in and he's like oh they're filming the commercial in here you have to leave and he was like ah it's just acting who cares he goes yeah it's hard like he was like studying forever yes what is acting you show up you say some stuff you go home yeah yeah i i'm not kidding since i've started doing auditions i'm like that's how i'm gonna look you have to look at so it's not too like married to it and
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
