A month. Probably a month. Yeah. Wow. I was like, oh, yeah, sure. And so he was like, if you get back, please tell me. And so I got back in time. And so I drove to his house.

0

791.047 - 793.371 Amber Wallin

Look at these floors all waxed and shit.

0

793.572 - 798.921 Drew Afualo

I love that. It was the beginning of the end for me. At that point, I was like, oh, damn it.

0

799.122 - 802.408 Amber Wallin

A little piece of me died that day. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The Grinch's heart.

0

802.748 - 810.422 Drew Afualo

I'm so curious, too. How has Ben been with all the content and all the attention that you guys get now as a couple?

0

810.622 - 827.23 Amber Wallin

I've created a monster, Drew. I don't know what to tell you. One day you give the man a speaking role and the next day he's a guest star, then a co-star. And then you look up and you're the supporting character in the story. You know what I'm saying? We're at that stage. He loves it.

827.33 - 849.34 Amber Wallin

I've actually taught him how to... Of course, we love making content together, but I've also taught him how to edit and stuff too. So I'm like, yes, I can duplicate. Sometimes he doesn't quite get it right. Nobody wants to work these days. But sometimes he... he really gets it right. And I'm just kind of like, that was actually a little better than my edit. So you ate that one little thing.

849.36 - 849.981 Drew Afualo

You ate that one.

850.021 - 872.934 Amber Wallin

You're not getting a bonus, but I will do a pizza party, you know? So he's actually really great at helping me and, and helping me with like business stuff. Like, I think we really underestimate like how many business things need to get done. He's like, you need to make this like official government business, like on paper. I was like, what do I look like? changing the toner ink on the printer.

872.995 - 883.609 Amber Wallin

Like that's crazy. Like you check the mail. Some stuff is man work. You know what I'm saying? I don't want to do. I'm not doing that. Yeah. I'm not doing it. So he's good at like sending invoices.

Chapter 5: How do Amber and Drew navigate their careers and personal lives?

1118.601 - 1133.557 Amber Wallin

And then as you create more, the racism is a little bit more nuanced, which I can appreciate. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like getting a little bored. Right. Like I can't, I can't deal with this. Like the, what is this like slave and master trope here? But now we're getting more nuanced. Like, yeah. Oh, she's the angry black woman, blah, blah, blah. Okay.

0

1133.577 - 1136.36 Amber Wallin

You know, still bad, but we're getting better. Right.

0

1136.6 - 1141.065 Drew Afualo

We're moving, I guess, forward. We're lateral. I don't know what you would. Yeah.

0

1141.446 - 1142.927 Amber Wallin

It's slow, but it is progress.

0

1143.067 - 1143.308 Drew Afualo

Yeah.

1143.328 - 1165.513 Amber Wallin

Whereas now I'll be honest with you. Like Ben and I kind of made a rule in our relationship that like, Because it's so hard, right? It's so hard not to read your comment section or whatever. So we made a rule that we will never bring up comments in either of our sections to each other. And that now has lent itself to me not even reading them as much.

1165.533 - 1184.785 Drew Afualo

Well, that's good. I mean, like, whatever protects your piece, too. Especially as a creator. Especially for us, like, when you're full-time creators, like, you're constantly posting comments. Any sort of content on any platform. And so having to look at comments all the time can be exhausting. Especially when you're in an interracial relationship, I can only imagine.

1184.845 - 1189.356 Drew Afualo

It's just like having to see that shit all the time. I'm good. Yeah.

1189.476 - 1206.386 Amber Wallin

And it's so old to you, right? Like I don't wake up every day and think like, oh, he's white. Yeah. Like we've been together for like 10 years now. So I'm like, oh, like maybe year one was like some awkward cultural things. And of course, cultural things still happen. But it's kind of like it goes. It's like you have a nose ring. You're like, well, I know I have it.

Chapter 6: How do Amber and Drew handle online criticism?

3478.485 - 3486.176 Amber Wallin

So Ben's birthday is on Thursday, which is two days from today. Yes. And I'm going to know tomorrow.

0

3486.336 - 3489.58 Drew Afualo

It's literally tomorrow. Oh, my God. I literally was like, I'm with you. I'm with you.

0

3489.6 - 3491.703 Amber Wallin

It's literally tomorrow. I'm very convincing.

0

3491.723 - 3492.785 Drew Afualo

Yeah, you are. I will tell you.

0

3492.825 - 3500.856 Amber Wallin

You're like, it's not that day. But I was like, yeah, confidence, you know. So I'm going to try today to bake a cake.

3500.876 - 3503.52 Drew Afualo

I've never baked a cake from scratch.

3503.5 - 3515.371 Amber Wallin

Yes, like a dummy. I texted my friend even, and she was like, do you have a mixer? I was like, no, but I got confidence. And a dream. And I got strong arms. I got willpower. Right.

3515.611 - 3517.312 Drew Afualo

I got fight in me. You know what I'm saying?

3517.332 - 3520.756 Amber Wallin

So what can we do? I'm really going to try hard to make him a cake.
