0

54.267 - 75.847 Drew Afualo

And she tells me, she was like, oh, yeah, well, if I am getting off the train late at night, I will take my shoes off, already crazy, and then do this, like, crab walk and laugh the whole way back. And I was like, you're full of shit. And she did it. She ran, like, two blocks ahead of me and then came back through the whole gig. I'll show you my technique right now.

0

75.887 - 101.438 Drew Afualo

Nothing makes them leave me alone faster. Oh, and you know what? I mean, truly, the sidewalk parted. Like, the Red Sea. Like, it was... It was official. Yeah, it's a foolproof plan. This episode is presented by Sephora. And we're back. The next part, wow, you will not want to miss this. Get 20% off full-size fragrances and body mists at Sephora now through December 24th.

101.619 - 111.215 Drew Afualo

I'm talking about saving 20% on brands like Sol de Janeiro, Kay Ali, Valentino, Fleur, and more. Only at Sephora and Sephora at Kohl's.

Chapter 2: How do guests share their unique experiences in New York?

111.496 - 130.545 Drew Afualo

Exclusions and terms apply. I've never done the glam bar, but obviously I've been to many carpets where I've seen it. Get in front of that camera, baby. Oh, girl, they give me, I told you, they give me a vest and they tell me to start valeting cars when I get there. Cut off. I will say. The line's too long, honestly, and honestly, I'm late every time, so that's why I miss the window.

0

130.525 - 132.408 Drew Afualo

You're doing your glam.

0

132.769 - 133.891

You're getting the glam perfect.

0

134.171 - 152.061 Drew Afualo

I will say for little TikTokers like us, for little tiny girls, we get one shot. They are moving you along. Cole and I know each other a little bit now because he has seen every time one of these pops up.

0

152.041 - 177.103 Drew Afualo

so i think if i begged for it he would give me another shot but i just don't care enough no they're they're very one and done with us right they really are and i my point in saying that is the glamba is very intimidating and she moves fast as fuck and then they're like and then they're like all right go back to fucking serving trays thank you go pick up an hors d'oeuvre tray and get to work right

177.083 - 196.148 Drew Afualo

Like, as soon as you do your thing, they're like, okay, put this badge on so people know not to shoot you. Go ahead. Okay, bottom. Climb back down the stairs if your legs still work. I've never done one, though. I've never done the gun. I'm honestly kind of afraid. I think you would eat the fuck down. I hope so. Also, my first one, people were nice, okay?

196.268 - 212.87 Drew Afualo

When you do your first one, it's a win for the culture. As soon as you've done your seventh or eighth, they're like, get the fuck off our screen. You know what I mean? It's like... It's like, God, we've seen this bottom glam bot too many times. What's next? Position 28 or something? Like, put the legs in the air.

212.91 - 228.032

And you know what's actually interesting that people don't, I guess, people don't realize with evidence rules, the way they work is if a client, because obviously a trained client privilege confidentiality, we are bound, bound by, you know,

228.012 - 250.645

just shutting our fucking mouths not being able to tell anyone anything and it's a much stronger privilege than like the therapist privilege or a doctor patient because there are certain mandatory disclosures reporting mandatory reporting laws yeah we don't have that we are we're mandatory not reporting yeah you don't fucking say shit and so the way the evidence rules work out for when you have to tell and when you don't kind of thing

Chapter 3: What insights do the hosts provide about the entertainment industry?

315.251 - 317.174 Drew Afualo

And I'm just like, I'm trying to play it cool. Right.

0

317.214 - 325.569

Cause I'm like, I don't want to be a statistic. I'm like, no, yeah, for sure. 100%, maybe some Febreze in the bag. Like, what would you, like, how would I, like, I don't know how I would act.

I don't know how I would act. I'm holding space for this. Yes, I'm holding space.

0

330.659 - 332.061 Drew Afualo

I'm holding space for this. Don't worry.

332.101 - 334.125

Yeah, they're not defying gravity anymore.

334.105 - 352.982 Drew Afualo

They're defying gravity somewhere, girl. I think also sometimes I get, I've gotten is, you know, when you're out and someone's like, like a girl will be like, oh my God, like love you, did it. And then she'll really like, the one thing she really wants to tell me, like this has happened a few times, is points to her boyfriend.

353.382 - 361.75

And it's like, he thinks you're funny, right? Oh, and he, oh my God, you're so, and he, and my, or if he's out there, and my, and my boyfriend, right?

363.468 - 366.975 Drew Afualo

And I'm like, well, thank God, your boyfriend.

Chapter 4: What humorous stories are shared about awkward celebrity encounters?

413.043 - 416.593 Drew Afualo

And if someone tries to steal that title, I'm reposting this.

0

417.248 - 422.216

And I'm calling you out because that's her title. But no, literally, it's so interesting.

0

422.236 - 442.648 Drew Afualo

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. Because a lot of times it's like, oh, we hate you. And so you're expressing hate for yourself.

442.668 - 443.509 Drew Afualo

And we're going, mm-hmm.

0

443.489 - 446.072

446.292 - 468.317 Drew Afualo

If they're laughing with me, something's off. No. Uh-oh. Gotta check in. It's so crazy. Why are so many of you nice to me right now? I'm leaning towards acting this year. That's my goal this year. T, okay, wait. Are you? Let's talk about it. I would love to. So I just, so my agency, they've been like, they've been sending me a couple scripts. But it's never like a role that makes sense for me.

468.497 - 480.185 Drew Afualo

I don't even know if I can speak about this. And I don't care because I'm not going to get it. I got an audition for a Jennifer Lopez Netflix movie. But the role they asked me to read for two parts.

480.566 - 488.582

One was like this kind of goofy office guy, whatever, whatever. He's like funny. I was like, I can read this straight. Damn it, but I'll try. Okay. Next guy.

488.562 - 511.566

Um, when he goes to the graveyard, I definitely cried about that. The before trilogy will make me cry. That's like, those are like beautiful. It's like a beautiful romantic drama, but like, this is just an ad for the back to the future. Well, But yeah, I cry at music too. One time I cried so hard to a song while I was driving that I couldn't see. I had to pull over. Right.

684.766 - 695.475 Drew Afualo

It was The Cause by Tommy LaFroy, by the way. Great song. T. And it's not even that sad of a song. What's the silliest piece of advice you've gotten? The silliest?

696.676 - 705.463

This guy came up to me and he was like, you shouldn't say you know what I mean because they don't know what you mean.

705.984 - 728.086 Drew Afualo

What? Damn. You said, well, that's okay. Semantic Sammy is what I call him. Semantic Sammy. What? Because some people, I don't want to name names, don't know what you mean. And it's him. Because I was like, yeah, I came up in the club looking cute. You know what I mean?

728.887 - 732.371

We don't know what you mean.

Chapter 6: What are the hosts' thoughts on mental health and self-acceptance?

771.059 - 790.605 Drew Afualo

Oh my gosh, tell me about the gay cruise. I thought your stories were so fun. If there was one other woman that should have been on that ship, it was you. Actually, and your mom. Maybe even your mom more than you. Also, the love that I have for your mom, it just knows no bounds. I was on this gay cruise. I got asked to do it like three days before. They were like, do you have a show?

0

790.746 - 813.392 Drew Afualo

And I'm like, put on a show. And I couldn't do the one from Edinburgh because it had a huge set and all these like moving things. So I had to write a new one. And so I'm telling you the procrastination, honey. I'm on that ship like with note cards. And they gave me the Mamma Mia dancers from the ship that were already on there. I picked four of the hottest British ones. Yeah.

813.895 - 816.898 Drew Afualo

817.579 - 831.033

I had a little US Navy outfit. That would really shake things up. And I went out, my opening song was called For the Gays from Death Becomes Her, the musical. And I was like, I'd do anything for the gays.

0

832.575 - 841.945 Drew Afualo

But it was really funny too, because they came on like on the loudspeaker the day of my show and they were like, hey everyone, this girl's really been through it.

841.925 - 845.91

We kind of, you know, us G's haven't been showing up for the T's so well.

846.731 - 867.138 Drew Afualo

So if everyone could, you know, funnel their way to the Orchid Theater, like that would be great. She needs it. I'm like, who are they talking about? They're like, please, she needs it. It was so insane. And then there was like, there was like two other gals there. I think one was probably a Trumper because she looked at me like I was the Antichrist. Love. And I get it.

867.178 - 869.721 Drew Afualo

I was on her, you know, soil. Like I was on her.

869.701 - 896.569

turf like she was there first but then also um then there was another woman who had just like triple z tits in the craziest way that i loved and she was nice to me yes but then otherwise it was these i thought i was gonna get swarmed but these men i was a ghost i was on the queen elizabeth the haunted ship because they did not see me they didn't want to talk to me because they're there to meet other eligible bachelors and that's not me right very gender affirming i will uh

Chapter 7: How do personal experiences shape their views on relationships?

916.549 - 946.671 Drew Afualo

What?

1063.747 - 1077.914 Drew Afualo

I had nothing. I couldn't even say thank you. Right. Words escaped you at that moment. Because now I have to wonder to myself, does Jane Lynch know who I am? Yeah, that haunts me. Or was she saying congrats to everyone?

1078.034 - 1101.883

One of the biggest reasons why I got out of being religious is because the idea of eternal life That's a curse. I agree. I have to do some version of this for all, like, let's imagine, let's imagine that I die. Right. And I go to heaven. And I'm looking down at my nephew and my, if I have kids. That's interesting.

Yeah. Another universe would be cool. I've dated a lot of twins somehow. I don't know what I'm attracting, but I've dated a lot of twins. That sounds kind of scary. It can be. Like, like I feel like twins, when they get to a certain age, it's like, okay, enough. No more. You're no longer a twin. I couldn't agree more. Being a twin is for children. And at this point, you're 25 and it's perverted.

1172.83 - 1199.273 Drew Afualo

And you're creepy and weird. So knock it off. And if you ever wear the fucking same thing in front of me, I'll have you arrested. I don't care. And I hate the cops. I believe in the police again for that. Just for twins. Yeah. A-Tab. That is crazy. All twins are bad. That's crazy that you've just so happened to date twins.
