What emotional challenges did Rachel Sennott face while creating 'I Love LA'?
No one sees anyone's hate comments on anyone except for themselves.
Do you know what I mean? That makes sense.
I've never seen anything negative about you.
I've never seen anything negative about you. What are the positive things people say about you?
Oh my god, I bet you would give me a pill if I had a headache. That was a good one.
So what's your take?
Okay, my take is everyone needs to get addicted to one thing at least once in their life to prove to themselves that they can break an addiction.
100% disagree.
100% disagree?
Yes, you don't want to play with the fire.
Play with the fire.
No. Yes. No.
I'm half Irish my entire life. My dad was like, watch out, addiction will get you. And I was like, no, it won't. And then it did a little. And then I fought the demons.
How much is a little?
Just like one year.
How does Rachel Sennott define a 'cute little addiction'?
A little rumspringa?
A little rumspringa of getting addicted to something.
What was it? Can we talk about what it was?
I don't know. I think it's, you know, I dabbled in nicotine. I'm pulling away.
Nicotine? Yes. I'm still addicted to the nicotine.
Yeah, it's... I just think... Wait, I just saw you smoking a cigarette. Stop saying that.
I was... Wait, why did you... You didn't dabble.
Stop, stop. This is what happened. I broke it. And I didn't smoke for a month. And now I... You can have a cigarette if you're in Europe and New York sort of counts as Europe at this point because I live in LA.
And if you're out with your friends.
And if you're out with your friends.
And if you're in a group of four more people.
Yeah, sure.
And if you're doing Seafood Tower.
Okay, totally.
What impact does phone addiction have on mental health?
And if you've had a glass of wine.
And if you're addicted to anything.
Yes, but other than that, addiction over.
I'm going to go ahead and continue to push back on that. Okay. Because I've had my times where I say, look... I'll just try these opioids.
No, no, no, no. I'm not saying just get addicted. You could get like addicted to like a weird workout routine. I was addicted to laxatives for one year. My take is ultimately wrong and dangerous and bad. And you said opioids and I went, fuck. I didn't mean it like that.
What's your screen time?
My screen time? Yes.
Do you look like a seven-hour girl?
No. It's five.
That's very reasonable. Five hours.
So reasonable.
And how do you keep it like that?
Because I'm at my job and they're not allowed to let me look at my phone. They take it away from me.
At your job? Are you a nurse?
No.
So if you didn't have the job telling you you can't look at your phone, would you be at eight, ten?
I would be at eight or ten.
Let me see.
Fine.
Okay.
things mine's really unreasonably bad oh actually it's pretty good 6 14 mine is probably worse this week because i've been like reading here we go again here we go again reviews and stuff oh shit 5 19 minutes pretty damn good suck it You read the comments?
I was reading some stuff.
You know, I got a piece of advice that said you shouldn't do that.
Of course. Oh, you're the first person to say that. Oh, that's really nice of you. Everyone says don't read it.
But you read it.
No, sometimes.
A little bit.
Just a little.
Just a little.
I just had to read it. I just had to read some stuff.
You wanted a little taste.
But I needed a little taste of how nasty it was to spit it out and go, I'm good.
Yeah. Yeah. And then it goes back to your original take.
Yeah, exactly.
You want a little taste.
I want a little taste to go, whoa, this is bad.
Do you cry a lot?
You know what's so crazy? I couldn't cry when we were making the show because I was so stressed. And I was like, I just have to do this. And then in the last month, I've cried every day.
Are you crying tears of joy or tears of sadness?
Everything.
All the whole gamut?
A bunch. Just because there's so much going on.
You're just overwhelmed.
I'm just overwhelmed.
You wrote the show?
I wrote the show with a team of amazing writers. You directed the show? I directed one episode.
You starred in the show?
I did.
You created the show?
Yes.
Okay, that's a lot.
That's a lot.
That's a lot.
That's a lot.
It's a little bit of this, a little bit of that.
A little bit of that, a little bit of this.
