Dumb Blonde Podcast: Matt Mathews

Transcription

Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?

0.031 - 26.022 Matt Mathews

Y'all already know I don't mess with anything that feels scammy or outdated, and that includes old school banks. Chime is not that. We're talking no overdraft fees, no monthly fees, no minimum balance nonsense. Like, why are we still paying banks to hold our money? Couldn't be me. Chime is built for real people, not the 1%. It actually makes your everyday spending work for you, not against you.

26.002 - 47.689 Matt Mathews

You can build your credit without the stress and don't even get me started on their savings up to 3% APY, which is like way higher than those dusty traditional banks and the chime card. This is where it gets good. You can build credit and earn cash back using your own money on the same card. No interest, no annual fees, no weird gotchas.

47.669 - 67.939 Matt Mathews

Plus, when you've got qualifying direct deposits, you can get 1.5% cash back on everyday purchases, which adds up real quick. I've been all about working smarter, not harder, and Chime just makes sense. Some features may vary. Terms apply. Y'all know the deal. Check them out for yourself. Chime is not just smarter banking. It's the most rewarding way to bank.

98.888 - 123.544 Matt Mathews

Because I run my own online store, I pay a lot of attention to checkout and I shop online constantly so I know what's annoying. Trying to remember a login and a password for every single site. No, I'm not doing that. That's why I love when I see that little purple shop pay button. No wallet, no password reset. I just tap it and I'm done.

124.186 - 148.696 Matt Mathews

It makes everything so much faster, which is huge during merch drops when everybody's trying to check out at the same time. And you don't want your customers getting stuck. And that is all powered by Shopify. It's the commerce platform behind millions of businesses and about 10% of all e-commerce in the US. From brands just getting started to stores like my own, bunnyxo.com.

148.936 - 174.471 Matt Mathews

You can build a beautiful site that actually matches your brand, run email and social campaigns like you've got a full marketing team. And it handles the back end. Inventory, shipping, returns, all the stuff that normally feels overwhelming when you're running a business. It really does make everything smoother for both you and your customers. See less carts go abandoned and more sales go...

Chapter 2: How does Matt Matthews describe his early influences and career path?

289.933 - 297.406 Matt Mathews

And when I saw that you guys had your little moments together online too, I was like, okay, he's cool people.

297.586 - 320.745 Bunnie Xo

Kale's one of my besties. She's a ride or die, and she's also a twat. Yeah. I'm like, you know, it really was all just kind of full circle. She was like, oh, you're going to love Bunny. And I was like, okay. If you say I like her, I'll like her. And then I like, we met and I fell in love. And I was like, she's truly the kindest person. And like, that's hard to find. I love it. You're very sweet.

0

321.025 - 322.027 Bunnie Xo

I'm being ain't lying.

0

322.087 - 340.501 Matt Mathews

Well, I also fell in love with you when I heard that you hate Bush. I was like, fucking thank God. Like, there's like this trend right now where everybody fucking wants to grow out their bush. And why do we think that's hot? Thigh to thigh, it looks like fucking Jiffy Pop.

0

340.521 - 341.963 Bunnie Xo

Shut up, I'm gonna throw up, I'm gonna throw up.

342.204 - 344.186 Matt Mathews

I can't, who wants to dive in that?

344.206 - 348.192 Bunnie Xo

I'm not, no. I don't want to floss my teeth when I'm trying to suck on a tally wacker, okay?

348.452 - 350.275 Matt Mathews

I don't want to look for the snake in the grass.

350.515 - 367.277 Bunnie Xo

No, hell no. You know what I'm saying? I won't do it. And it's not... It ain't sanitary. You know? It smells like BO. If I'm trying, you know, to service the Lord's work down there, you know, I don't want... If there's a scent, I'm done.

Chapter 3: What challenges did Matt face while growing up?

569.057 - 586.518 Bunnie Xo

Well, so my barn is right beneath my house. Okay. So, like, I can walk down into the barn from my kitchen. Yeah. And y'all know I wear a robe. That's what I wear. And people really think that I'm being cute. Like, oh, he's just wearing that for views. No, bitch, I don't like clothes.

0

586.638 - 586.938 Unknown

Right.

0

586.958 - 602.092 Bunnie Xo

Okay? So I sleep naked. So when I wake up, I throw on a robe and nine times out of 10, like I am getting up at 6 a.m. to go put horses up before it gets hot and feed them and do all that. So I'm doing all that before I ever have my coffee. So like that's the first thing that I'm doing.

0

602.313 - 613.182 Bunnie Xo

So a lot of times I'll just be walking down there just being like, baby, when that thing gets a thing, you know, just. Have they ever looked at you sideways? Oh, they look at me sideways every day. They're like, here comes this bitch again.

0

613.222 - 614.003 Matt Mathews

Just judgmental.

614.043 - 614.704 Bunnie Xo

Yeah, they are.

615.164 - 618.267 Matt Mathews

What's the biggest lie you've told without getting caught?

618.247 - 635.111 Bunnie Xo

Biggest lie I've told without getting caught. I don't know because my problem is I don't lie. I'm too honest. So I get in trouble for that. Yeah. Biggest lie I've told. You can pass if you need to. Yeah, I really don't know.

635.191 - 638.158 Matt Mathews

Gotcha. Weirdest DM you've ever gotten?

Chapter 4: How did Matt transition from photography to comedy and music?

841.424 - 842.325 Bunnie Xo

One more question.

0

842.385 - 845.149 Matt Mathews

Who's messier? You, your husband, or the goats?

0

845.97 - 846.511 Bunnie Xo

The goats.

0

846.871 - 847.512 Matt Mathews

The goats?

0

847.532 - 850.476 Bunnie Xo

They fucking stank. Oh my God. Y'all don't have goats, right?

850.616 - 851.618 Matt Mathews

I refuse.

851.698 - 852.399 Bunnie Xo

Don't do it.

852.699 - 853.14 Matt Mathews

I refuse.

853.16 - 878.187 Bunnie Xo

It's a trap. A billy goat will piss in his beard to attract the females. How does he reach? You ain't never seen one of them things. No. No. Girl, they like this long. No. And I got... They suck their own tallywhackers. Oh, God. And then he pisses in his beard and he stinks. Oh, it's just... What's wrong with that dude? It's atrocious.

Chapter 5: What challenges did Matt face during his rise to fame?

2636.415 - 2638.137 Matt Mathews

That's your first taste of virality, right?

0

2638.157 - 2647.566 Bunnie Xo

Yeah. That's crazy. And I was booking so much and I was making a ton of money. I started my, I opened my first studio downtown. Like it was insane.

0

2648.107 - 2666.689 Matt Mathews

Um, and it was incredible, you know, I mean, people were coming, other photographers were coming to learn from me and it was just, it probably gave you such a purpose though, because not only are you making these women feel beautiful, but you're also creating art and you're like, I don't know, you're just like in charge. It's your business. Like, yeah, it's gotta be so fulfilling.

0

2666.849 - 2683.792 Bunnie Xo

Absolutely. And I felt so good making people feel so good. That was like a big thing to me. I remember I had a client come in and she had had a double mastectomy and I photographed her and like before her reconstruction and she was like, Oh my God, like I'm beautiful.

2684.593 - 2702.718 Bunnie Xo

And I'm like, yeah, you are, you know, like seeing them come in being so timid, not loving their body, not feeling comfortable and seeing them walk out with their head high was just like, Oh man, it gives me chills to think about it because like, I love that part of my life. I love that journey still.

2702.859 - 2711.331 Matt Mathews

Would you ever, once all of this, the touring and the music and all that comes to an end, would you ever think of maybe just redoing it?

2711.532 - 2733.749 Bunnie Xo

Your retirement years? We still have my boudoir business. And my associate, Brianna, who's been with me for eight years, she still photographs clients. Oh, wow. And it's still under my name. It's still my studio. And her work looks identical to mine. And so she still shoots. So, like, we still have that business. And it's amazing. And I was like, we worked so hard to build that.

2733.769 - 2738.018 Bunnie Xo

I was like, just because I'm touring and doing all the things now, we're not letting that go.

Chapter 6: How did Matt's experience with Jewel influence his music career?

2738.599 - 2760.278 Bunnie Xo

So it was... It was just really, it was a really cool thing. But deep down, there was something missing. Right. You know, and I was like, I want to be on stage. You know, like, I wanted to sing. But I still never pursued that. And what started to happen for me was TikTok started deleting my videos.

0

2760.832 - 2764.82 Matt Mathews

Because of the boudoir. They just did another fucking community upline update today.

0

2764.9 - 2765.341 Bunnie Xo

Oh yeah, I saw.

0

2765.501 - 2766.523 Matt Mathews

Yeah. I'm like.

0

2766.864 - 2787.475 Bunnie Xo

And they had started deleting everything that I was posting. Yeah. For community guidelines and adult nudity, even though nobody was ever nude. And so I was like, I had built a following of like 2 million at that point. And I was like, I don't want to lose my account. You know, like, what do I do? So I quit posting. So from then I pivoted and I started doing how to take sexy selfies.

2787.956 - 2804.893 Bunnie Xo

So I'd be like, put your phone up, put it on a video. And I would show them how to pose. And I'd be like, now screenshot that hoe and send it out. You know? And then that started blowing up. And everybody was like, oh, my God, your personality. Yeah. And so then I was like, okay, well, they're going to delete everything I'm posting. So I'll pivot again.

Chapter 7: What insights does Matt share about the pressures of fame?

2805.394 - 2808.578 Bunnie Xo

So I pivoted to start showing my personal life, which was my farm.

0

2808.778 - 2813.444 Matt Mathews

That's how we are as hustlers coming up from the backgrounds that we did is like, you're always going to figure out a way.

0

2813.464 - 2814.205 Bunnie Xo

I'll figure it out.

0

2814.505 - 2815.626 Matt Mathews

Yeah, absolutely.

0

2815.987 - 2828.785 Bunnie Xo

So I was like, okay, so where do we go now? So I was like, all right, so I'll pivot to farm. I'll start showing my farm and my ridiculous life of I'm out in this robe every day, cussing these chickens out. I'll start showing it to people.

2828.865 - 2830.709 Matt Mathews

Was this during COVID? During COVID.

2830.729 - 2841.126 Bunnie Xo

Okay. Yeah. The first, and I remember like the first video got, I mean, it got like 13 million views and I gained over a half a million followers overnight. And I was like, what the fuck?

2841.106 - 2857.9 Matt Mathews

The crazy thing is, is like you had never hit my FYP until people started tagging you. And now your shit is all over my fucking FYP. Like it is. I can't scroll without seeing something from you or somebody tagging you in something or like it's it's crazy how much people just love you.

2857.88 - 2859.302 Bunnie Xo

Well, they love you just as much.

Chapter 8: How does Matt plan to integrate music into his comedy?

2883.641 - 2907.067 Bunnie Xo

And I remember seeing comments of people saying, you made me smile. You made me laugh when I haven't laughed in weeks. Yeah. You made me, you brightened my day. And then again, same feeling as boudoir. I was like, that made me feel good that I made somebody feel good. And so everybody was like, Matt, you have to do comedy. You have to do comedy. You have to be a comedian.

0

2907.788 - 2919.718 Bunnie Xo

I'd never watched comedy. I'd never, you know, never watched standup. It was never something that I wanted to do. Like I wanted to do music. Right. And, but I was like, I'm never going to pursue music. It's never going to be something that I do.

0

2919.818 - 2921.54 Matt Mathews

Why did you think that you just couldn't do it?

0

2921.66 - 2922.801 Bunnie Xo

I just didn't think I was good enough.

0

2922.781 - 2923.322 Matt Mathews

Right.

2923.562 - 2926.607 Bunnie Xo

So I was like, this is the next best thing.

2926.807 - 2927.228 Matt Mathews

Right.

2927.248 - 2932.376 Bunnie Xo

I'll be on stage. I'll be performing. And I'm doing something that's easy for me, which is making people laugh.

2932.416 - 2943.113 Matt Mathews

Right. Being a stand-up comedian is not easy, though. Oh, but it is hard. It is hard. Like, it's fucking, you got to command. I think that's harder than singing.
