Speaker 1: I remember going home one day and I had already
Speaker 1: hit a million. I was so excited, and I walk
Speaker 1: into my house. My mom's watching my videos, and it
Speaker 1: was the one where I was literally making fun of
Speaker 1: her secrets. Everybody's got them, and everybody else wants to
Speaker 1: know them. You know, maybe maybe you've got a secret
Speaker 1: child out there that another rapper outed on a disc track.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at you, Drizzy, Or maybe you've got a
Speaker 1: secret recipe, you know, with eleven herbs and spices, and
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I've figured out what ten of them are,
Speaker 1: but I still don't know what that eleventh is. Maybe
Speaker 1: it's turmeric or turmeric or whatever it is. I'm looking
Speaker 1: at you, Colonel Sanders, that's your real name. Or you know,
Speaker 1: maybe you murdered somebody that's dark. Looking at you, O. J. Simpson.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's really a secret anymore. Anyway, Maybe
Speaker 1: your secret is that you have over a million followers
Speaker 1: on TikTok and you haven't told your mom yet. Every
Speaker 1: parent's worst nightmare. Now, my friend Adam Riyoka knows all
Speaker 1: about that. Adam is a twenty three year old creator
Speaker 1: from San Antonio, Texas who many know for his alter
Speaker 1: ego Rosa, the flaming hot, cheeto loving, nail clacking, gossip
Speaker 1: loving latin x TikTok character. Now Adam and I sat
Speaker 1: down at VidCon last summer and he told me about
Speaker 1: the first time he was recognized in public and how
Speaker 1: it changed his life. I'm will closet full of skeletons
Speaker 1: McFadden and this is hashtag storytime, brought to you by iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1: So I want to talk to you about the time
Speaker 1: when I first got recognized in public as like Rosa. Yes,
Speaker 1: so let me tell you. Before Rosa, my life was
Speaker 1: so boring, Like I had a boring job. I can
Speaker 1: I also say, before Rosa my life was born. That
Speaker 1: makes more interesting. Yeah I've heard that too, so I
Speaker 1: don't not believe you. I just kidding, um, But yeah,
Speaker 1: I had a boring job, boring car, boring everything pretty much.
Speaker 1: So like once I started on social media, it was
Speaker 1: kind of just like a whole new world. And mind you,
Speaker 1: I had watched like social media creators forever, like that
Speaker 1: was like my thing on my downtime. I was your
Speaker 1: favorite creator. Okay, well, how ironic is it that one
Speaker 1: of them is like literally one of my best friends.
Speaker 1: His name is Louis Castro. I was obsessed and now
Speaker 1: he's like my realmi um and like a lot of
Speaker 1: people in the Latin community like um Jenny sixty nine,
Speaker 1: Manny Mua yeah, um, the Mourio Twins, like so many
Speaker 1: people that I'm friends with today. I was I would
Speaker 1: literally watch all the fans and now you're like, I
Speaker 1: like wished it into existence, kind of manifested them. So
Speaker 1: I started social media, like not intentionally. I literally posted
Speaker 1: my first video like for my friends to see. And
Speaker 1: when was this? Wait? When? So this was December of
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. Okay, all right, so we're going on three
Speaker 1: years this December. But what a skyrocket to fame. I
Speaker 1: mean that's three years. O. No, that's so fast. That's
Speaker 1: like scary. I always heard like people say like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I've been doing this for years, and I'm like, I've
Speaker 1: been doing this for three years, Like what the heck?
Speaker 1: That's that's I mean, But that's like, that's that's a milestone.
Speaker 1: Three years. And but it's also so fast for what
Speaker 1: you've achieved. And I found like three years in social
Speaker 1: media time is like twenty Yeah, it does. It's like
Speaker 1: dog years. Yeah for sure. I'm like, whoa, okay, um, sorry,
Speaker 1: I get a side checked the lot that's going to happen. Um,
Speaker 1: what was it? Oh? Yeah, so I was boring all right,
Speaker 1: and then um I started social media December of twenty nineteen,
Speaker 1: and then after that, my life, literally, my kid, you not,
Speaker 1: was never the same. I remember after my first video
Speaker 1: blew up, I went to work the next day and
Speaker 1: I was like, big Orge, I'm putting my two weeks
Speaker 1: in like just joking. I literally like talked to him
Speaker 1: my co workers. I'm like, it was so good knowing you,
Speaker 1: Like I will forget about I'm like, I'm going to
Speaker 1: miss you. Just remember me. But everybody was like super
Speaker 1: supportive at my workplace. It was so funny. I went
Speaker 1: to work the next day after my video had blew up.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, I posted a video
Speaker 1: and like it's like going crazy and was this your
Speaker 1: very first, very first it also I didn't even have
Speaker 1: a name, like it was just like some girl that
Speaker 1: I made up. And um. So I went to work
Speaker 1: and I told everybody that what had happened, and they
Speaker 1: were telling me because everybody had known that I would
Speaker 1: watch people on social media. So they were like, bitch,
Speaker 1: if you are making these videos, you can somehow meet
Speaker 1: these people, like be friends with these people, and like
Speaker 1: kind of just being supportive and I telling me to
Speaker 1: keep going, because at that point, I was like what
Speaker 1: do I do? Like do I make another video? Do
Speaker 1: I like stop? Am I embarrassing myself? I didn't know
Speaker 1: what to do. So everybody was just being super supportive
Speaker 1: and telling me, like to continue. So I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: I guess I remember that day. I went to work
Speaker 1: on my computer and I went onto the TikTok website
Speaker 1: to see if like I would see my face yea
Speaker 1: like on the four you page. Back then it was
Speaker 1: like very much like just the four you page. I
Speaker 1: was kind of yeah, yeah, So I was like, let
Speaker 1: me just scrow until I see like my video pop up.
Speaker 1: I was literally sitting there for hours, and I like,
Speaker 1: mind you, I had like two videos up, so like
Speaker 1: out of the millions of videos that there was, I
Speaker 1: was like, I need to see my video. Get there.
Speaker 1: So um I was there. I was looking for my
Speaker 1: video and like talking to everybody about the situation. After
Speaker 1: I went home that day, I was like, you know what,
Speaker 1: like they're right, if I don't do this, Like, I'm
Speaker 1: never gonna know if like what could have happened. You know,
Speaker 1: if I would have continued with rows good thing, you
Speaker 1: were surrounded by friends who told you to keep going
Speaker 1: because what a sad world we'd live, and if they
Speaker 1: were like, oh, don't make anymore very hater vibe, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that would have that would be a totally different life. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Imagine if it also wasn't created. I know the world
Speaker 1: would be a worse place. I would imagine, be sad.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that on my panel. I just kidding, um,
Speaker 1: But yeah, I went home that day. That's when I
Speaker 1: created Rosa the name okay, and ever since then, I
Speaker 1: made another video that day I uploaded it, and after that,
Speaker 1: every single video that I would upload it like did
Speaker 1: its day. Yeah, it like took off and it like
Speaker 1: made my face known to millions and millions of people. Yea.
Speaker 1: So I remember it was during like COVID was barely starting,
Speaker 1: so I was and I was never really like a
Speaker 1: person to go out because like I just wasn't like
Speaker 1: that bitch back then. So I would always just stay
Speaker 1: in until like my family would want to go out,
Speaker 1: or like my friends would want to go out. So
Speaker 1: I remember the first time I went out. I was
Speaker 1: already doing Rosa for like a month, I want to say,
Speaker 1: and I went to I was I was living in
Speaker 1: San Antonio and nobody had known kids you, not only
Speaker 1: the people who had TikTok where were like my friends, family,
Speaker 1: my mom, my grandma was so clueless as to what
Speaker 1: I was doing upstairs in my room. I'm sure they
Speaker 1: were like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, they like who I Like,
Speaker 1: they knew the type of person I was. Like I
Speaker 1: would just always made people laugh, but they didn't know
Speaker 1: I was like putting it onto the internet like that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I was there, and like I said, I had
Speaker 1: never really gone out. My family had no idea that
Speaker 1: I was doing social media. I would go out every
Speaker 1: now and then, but nobody really ever came up to me.
Speaker 1: I kind of just saw like eyes look at me,
Speaker 1: but like not really like say anything. They were kind
Speaker 1: of hearing whispers like yeah, very that and mind you.
Speaker 1: I feel like that's when TikTok was barely like finding
Speaker 1: its creative because there was a couple months when TikTok
Speaker 1: after it shifted from musically where it was just cringey
Speaker 1: and people were like, this app is terrible, and then
Speaker 1: people like you started making characters and like really creating
Speaker 1: amazing comedy content on there too, and then I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: there's a shift happening. And then yeah, we started to
Speaker 1: see kind of the rise of like, yeah, really amazing
Speaker 1: talented creators. So that's whenever people were like starting to
Speaker 1: like put like a face, like a name, and like
Speaker 1: kind of just like do everything like that. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: never nobody really ever came up to me, and then
Speaker 1: up until it was just one time, I went out
Speaker 1: with my mom and my grandma. Okay, so ironic, right,
Speaker 1: the two people that had no idea what I was
Speaker 1: doing online. I went out with them to a pizza
Speaker 1: place called Peter Pipers shout out Peter Pipers yes, and
Speaker 1: then we I As soon as I entered, I saw
Speaker 1: a group of people look at me, and I was like,
Speaker 1: because like, I'm not the type to be like, oh, hey,
Speaker 1: like you want to picture it, because like I don't
Speaker 1: know if they're looking to be this is funny or
Speaker 1: like because this is the first time being kind of
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, So I was like, yeah, you're not
Speaker 1: gonna be like, hey, do you want to Yeah, like oh, TikTok, come,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna ignore it, like I'm not gonna like
Speaker 1: pit any attention to it. And then my mom's like,
Speaker 1: my mom's like crazy, She's like San Antonio like southside bitch,
Speaker 1: you know. So she was like are they looking over here,
Speaker 1: like getting all heated? And I was like I don't
Speaker 1: know why. I just like ordered the pizza, and so
Speaker 1: I think I at one point my mom that didn't
Speaker 1: want it to go up and be like oh, like
Speaker 1: do you have a question or like what's what's that?
Speaker 1: I help you? Yeah, bury that, and then um, they
Speaker 1: just kept smiling at me. So my mom initially thought
Speaker 1: they were like making fun of me. Okay, so she
Speaker 1: was like mama, mama bears ready yeah. And I didn't
Speaker 1: want to say like, oh no, it's because I'm on
Speaker 1: social media, like because she had no idea. It's because
Speaker 1: they loved me. Yeah, And mind you, at that point,
Speaker 1: I was still straight. I was very closeted, like so
Speaker 1: my mom Like, if my mom found out that I
Speaker 1: was like putting on makeup and like making funny videos,
Speaker 1: she would have been like, huh, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: so I was like, oh my god, what am I
Speaker 1: gonna do? What am I gonna say? There's layers to
Speaker 1: this now that yeah. So uh, like after we order
Speaker 1: our pizza, we're like standing there waiting for it, and
Speaker 1: I guess one of the girls finding gets the courage
Speaker 1: to come up to me. But she comes up to
Speaker 1: my mom and I'm like, girl, is she the one
Speaker 1: on TikTok? Why would you not come up to me?
Speaker 1: And she was always could we want to take a
Speaker 1: picture with him? And my mom looks at me, She's
Speaker 1: like what so why yeah, And then they ended up
Speaker 1: telling her like, oh, well he does the videos on
Speaker 1: TikTok like blah blah blah. And I was like I
Speaker 1: just looked at my mom and my grandma was like
Speaker 1: so it almost like yeah, very like surprised, and I
Speaker 1: was just like I just like smiled and like I
Speaker 1: didn't say no. So I was like my mom was
Speaker 1: like okay, like she just like let them. So I
Speaker 1: took a picture with them. Is your mom in the photo?
Speaker 1: I hope she's in the back. I think she took
Speaker 1: the photo. She literally took the photo. She was like
Speaker 1: so confused, Yeah, literally, what is happening. So then, um,
Speaker 1: we took the picture. We didn't talk about it. Literally,
Speaker 1: after we took the picture, we got her pizza. She
Speaker 1: didn't even ask me about it was your grandma. My
Speaker 1: grandma was so confused. She was like she honestly thought
Speaker 1: like they were my friends or like she was like, oh,
Speaker 1: they're from school or something like just like rekindling old friendship. So, um,
Speaker 1: we ate and then my I guess my mom didn't
Speaker 1: want to talk about it in front of my grandma. Yea,
Speaker 1: So my grandma went to the restroom and we waited
Speaker 1: for her in the car, and that's when I'm sitting
Speaker 1: in the back seat. My mom's in the front seat,
Speaker 1: and my Mom's like, so, are you going to talk
Speaker 1: about like what just happened, Like why random people are
Speaker 1: just taking a picture with you? You're like, no, rather
Speaker 1: not yeah, And I was like, I don't know how
Speaker 1: I was gonna like direct this because I didn't want
Speaker 1: to bring up the fact that I was like gay,
Speaker 1: because I wasn't ready to come out to her. But
Speaker 1: then I didn't want to bring up the fact that
Speaker 1: I was like putting on makeup and like doing videos.
Speaker 1: So I was like, how do I like, how do
Speaker 1: you say this? And then also not show her video
Speaker 1: like immediately after. So I was like, why pretty much
Speaker 1: make videos online? I post them and people love them
Speaker 1: and they laugh at them, and like that's why they
Speaker 1: recognize me. They like my video got a lot of
Speaker 1: views and my faith, they just recognize me. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: my mom's like, well, I mean, are you being like safe?
Speaker 1: And I was like, well, yeah, I'm not doing anything crazy,
Speaker 1: like I wouldn't do anything to like endangerous or like
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Yeah, um, she worried, you
Speaker 1: were like like though, I honestly don't know what she
Speaker 1: thought I was doing. But I don't know if she
Speaker 1: thought I was doing like only fan vibes were like
Speaker 1: what your feet? Yeah, I imagine, or she was like
Speaker 1: doing she on her mind. I honestly think she was
Speaker 1: thinking like Illuminati vibes. They're like doing something like worshiping
Speaker 1: some type of Satanic culture or scientologic Latina vibes, and
Speaker 1: she's like very Hispanic, like don't like you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, like the ray those vibes don't invite the spirits.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah. So I was like, yeah, I do
Speaker 1: these videos online and people love them and like they
Speaker 1: laugh so they recognize me. Yeah. She asked me if
Speaker 1: I was being safe and like at one point she
Speaker 1: was like, what kind of videos? And I was like,
Speaker 1: I can show you, but I don't know if you're
Speaker 1: gonna like them, so I mean, if you want to
Speaker 1: see them or not, like you let me know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she was like no, I don't want to see them,
Speaker 1: so I was like okay. So then at that point
Speaker 1: we ended up like we dropped it at there, and
Speaker 1: then after that I continued to make medals of videos
Speaker 1: and then I just grew bigger and bigger. I ended
Speaker 1: up hitting a million followers. Yeah. I remember going home
Speaker 1: one day and I had already hit a million. I
Speaker 1: was so excited and I walk into my house. My
Speaker 1: mom's watching my videos and it was the one where
Speaker 1: I was literally making fun of her and she was
Speaker 1: cracking up, literally sitting on the couch dying of laughing,
Speaker 1: like yeah literally, I was like, I literally was like
Speaker 1: so nervous because I heard my voice walking in and
Speaker 1: I see her laughing. I was like I literally broke
Speaker 1: out laughing too. I was like like my weight was
Speaker 1: lifted off my shoulders because I was like, oh my God,
Speaker 1: like my mom's laughing at my videos. And what if
Speaker 1: your mom was your million follower, Like what if she
Speaker 1: was the one to be little that little boop? Oh
Speaker 1: my god, let's just say that that sw yes. I
Speaker 1: think that's I had a little like spice. Yeah, story,
Speaker 1: she is number one. So I walk in and I
Speaker 1: hear my voice and she's cracking up and she's like,
Speaker 1: I found your page. And I was like I can see.
Speaker 1: And she was like you're so funny, like blah blah
Speaker 1: blah blah whatever whatever, and I was like thanks. He's
Speaker 1: like I can't believe you hit a million followers, like
Speaker 1: she was so excited for me. Oh yeah. And then
Speaker 1: at that point I couldn't hide anything else from her
Speaker 1: because I was already getting asked to do a meet
Speaker 1: and greet. I was asked to like yeah, it was
Speaker 1: like crazy already, and I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: like I have to just tell her. I didn't tell
Speaker 1: her that I was gay. I was just like okay, mom,
Speaker 1: Like this is something that I can take seriously, Like
Speaker 1: I can make a career out of this. I can
Speaker 1: do so much with this, and like if I'm making
Speaker 1: people happy, and like I could make my job I'm
Speaker 1: going to do that because she was always just she
Speaker 1: was also scared of me quitting my my nine to
Speaker 1: five job, yeah of CO two, because I was like
Speaker 1: my income, like that was how I was living. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and she was like, oh my god, you can't know,
Speaker 1: you can't do that, like you don't know what, like
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. So I was like trust me, yes,
Speaker 1: I have to follow this. Yeah, and then that's when
Speaker 1: I ended up meeting Rocio, my manager, and ever since then,
Speaker 1: my life was no longer boring. It's will I will Yeah,
Speaker 1: I agree, you live a fascinating life. It was. It
Speaker 1: was insane, but that was my the whole like first
Speaker 1: time getting recognized and like for my life being like
Speaker 1: and I always say, my life did a complete one
Speaker 1: eighty yeah, like it just changed completely after like my
Speaker 1: first video. And that's the beauty of TikTok especially is
Speaker 1: how quickly you can you can have that full kind
Speaker 1: of life altering experience. Yeah. And a lot of my
Speaker 1: creative friends also like the same story, like they went
Speaker 1: from this to like this a matter of like months. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's crazy to see if somebody making videos in their
Speaker 1: bedroom can Yeah, And I love seeing like like for me,
Speaker 1: I remember how my background from my videos and like
Speaker 1: to the background now it's like so insane, Like watching
Speaker 1: other people's videos start with this background and now they're
Speaker 1: like times square like filming it like time square behind them,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, that's so insane, Like how exciting is that?
Speaker 1: What would you say the moral of the story or
Speaker 1: what you you know, the wisdom that you took away
Speaker 1: how you were kind of changing, Well, I would I
Speaker 1: would want to mention or like add that in the
Speaker 1: beginning of me starting social media, I was like probably
Speaker 1: at one of the darkest places of my life that
Speaker 1: I had ever been in and now three years later,
Speaker 1: I'm at like the highest point of my life. So
Speaker 1: I just if I want to put a message out there,
Speaker 1: it's definitely to not give up and to just keep going.
Speaker 1: As like cheesy as that sounds, like, honestly, like that's
Speaker 1: what I needed to hear. Yeah, if I just kept
Speaker 1: that momentum in that mindset, like look where I'm at
Speaker 1: right now and it's so insane and also hopefully you're
Speaker 1: at the highest you've been in your life so far,
Speaker 1: but I still think you've got oh for sure, you
Speaker 1: know you're still so much more and like I feel
Speaker 1: like now like it's just getting higher and higher and
Speaker 1: higher points in my life. Yeah for sure. Well, I'm
Speaker 1: on board for the journey. I'm gonna keep watching. Let's
Speaker 1: play that. Let's play a quick lightning round of first, last, best, worst,
Speaker 1: and the category we're gonna go with is what about
Speaker 1: a job? Okay, that's fine, Okay, so awgory job. First job? Okay,
Speaker 1: mind you, I'm twenty three. I've probably had like twenty
Speaker 1: three jobs. I've had so many jobs. Literally my first job,
Speaker 1: it was at six Flags in San Antonio. All right,
Speaker 1: the worst experience I've ever had, and that's because I
Speaker 1: only worked there for one day. Oh my god. Wait
Speaker 1: So your first job and your worst job, same job.
Speaker 1: Oh wait, that's totally fine, that's totally valid. Maybe not
Speaker 1: my worst. Okay, so there was worse than the one day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because okay, let me do what did you do it
Speaker 1: for one day? So I got hired at six Flags.
Speaker 1: I was fifteen. That's when six Flags was hiring at
Speaker 1: fifteen years old at his child labor. Yeah. So I
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, I have to make money.
Speaker 1: Like I was like in the mindset of like being
Speaker 1: a grown up hurting. I get that grind on mind you,
Speaker 1: San Antonio weather is disgusting and like it's insane. It's
Speaker 1: known for like it's bipolar and like hot and like
Speaker 1: rain and like everything all seasons in one day. So
Speaker 1: I woke up early, super early. Okay, let me start
Speaker 1: from the beginning. I got interviewed and I got hired,
Speaker 1: but they required a math test. My jo was a
Speaker 1: little bad in school. Why do you doing math at
Speaker 1: six Flags? Yeah? I'm like, why do I need to
Speaker 1: know how much change I'm gonna give? If it tells
Speaker 1: me how much change to give? We're not telling algebra here.
Speaker 1: So I ended up failing the math quiz. I would
Speaker 1: have been right there with it. I was still a
Speaker 1: potential candidate according to six Flags. So they hired me
Speaker 1: on as a janitor. Okay, a fifteen year old janitor.
Speaker 1: So it was so bad because I was excited and
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, Like, what's like how
Speaker 1: I'm back? Yeah, it's like it's fun, Like six Flags
Speaker 1: is like fun place to be at them. So I
Speaker 1: wake up super early for the first day of work.
Speaker 1: It's like five am. I had to be there like
Speaker 1: at six thirty six legs was a little far from
Speaker 1: my house. It's pouring rain, like discussing, thunder lightning, insane,
Speaker 1: like the worst thunderstorm I could have ever seen. And
Speaker 1: I'm in my car. I had like a nineteen ninety
Speaker 1: six Honda Civic or Classic, and my car was like
Speaker 1: no AC, had no CY so I had to have
Speaker 1: the windows up because it was raining. With no a C,
Speaker 1: I was dying. I was suffocating, just very moist in there,
Speaker 1: and I was like, you know what, I'm going to work.
Speaker 1: I was still happy because I was like my first
Speaker 1: day of work, like nothing can bring me down. The
Speaker 1: rain was coming down so hard, like six tacks was
Speaker 1: so far from me. I was in the freeway, driving
Speaker 1: like forty miles an hour, and I was like and
Speaker 1: like holding my string with with both hands because I
Speaker 1: was so scared that my wheel was gonna like I
Speaker 1: was gonna lose control. I was still with the smile
Speaker 1: on my face, like I got it. I'm almost job.
Speaker 1: At one point, the rain got so bad I couldn't
Speaker 1: see anything. I was just driving because I was like
Speaker 1: you know what, I know, just trueway, trust thee. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm like I've been on this freeway plenty of times,
Speaker 1: like nothing's gonna change overnight, just gonna bird box this,
Speaker 1: yeah by that. And then so I finally get there
Speaker 1: and um rain stops. Okay. So I get there. We're
Speaker 1: doing like or out. Yeah. The sun is like shining
Speaker 1: on the opposite side of sid The sun is like shining,
Speaker 1: like there's like birds flying, it's like super pretty. And
Speaker 1: I get there. We do like orientation vibes and then
Speaker 1: they're like, all right, we're gonna get ready to go
Speaker 1: onto the park, like they tell us what we're gonna do.
Speaker 1: Mind you all of the like janitor people who got
Speaker 1: hired on we're like all together in one group. So
Speaker 1: I have a little buddy with me, like a partner. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And they had me a big old trash can. My
Speaker 1: job that day is basically go around the whole park
Speaker 1: and like empty the trash cans into one big trash cantah.
Speaker 1: And so I'm like, you know what, Like I was
Speaker 1: telling my buddy like, hey, we got this, Like it's
Speaker 1: gonna be easy. Oh. So we're going it's steaming like beaming.
Speaker 1: The sun is beaming. It's so hot, and I'm like
Speaker 1: sweating like like not even like cute sweat like dripping
Speaker 1: into it, like my shirts like soaked, and um. We're
Speaker 1: there and we're kind of just like trying to make
Speaker 1: the best out of it. I'm like, oh, so, like
Speaker 1: where are you from, Like I'm trying to talk to him.
Speaker 1: At one point, I'm going to a trash can and
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what, Like it's so heavy the bag.
Speaker 1: I'm like, we're just gonna have to get it together,
Speaker 1: Like we're gonna have to pick it up together. So

Speaker 1: and we lifted so fast. The bag is weighted down
Speaker 1: to the bottom by liquids. Yeah, and as soon as
Speaker 1: we lift it, everything just falls out. And at that point,
Speaker 1: I'm already like the inner my thighs are rubbing together.
