This is so good. You were right, this did make me both laugh and cry. Pamela is one of my favourite people now.

I have Tourettes and I absolutely love that you included someone with it in one of your videos, especially someone as funny as Pam! Media usually just shows coprolalia, so I appreciate when videos include actual people with ts and portray it more comprehensively instead of just using the swearing as an easy joke.

My first introduction to tourettes was Tourettes Hero Jess Thom who does a lot of work with children with the condition. She is funny but also very informative. This video was a really good look at tourettes in a way that didn't seem forced.

- I just love that we got close enough so quickly that day three and you were in an elevator being like, "She barks!" - Hey guys, it's Dr. Mike. And I'm here with my special friend. - Oh, Jesus! (laughs) - What? - Special. That's your mind doing that. (laughs) You're my special... Okay, sorry guys. I'm here with my great friend, Pamela Schuller, who is a comedian, if you can't tell. And she does some pretty interesting things on the side. - I travel, talking about comedy, and loving the heck out of what makes you, you. - So if you had to say what makes you, you, what would you define yourself as? - That's a good way to ask the question, in like a very sly way. - I've done this before. - You can't see right now, but I am four 4'6 1/2", and I have a whole lot of Tourette's syndrome. Like a ton of Tourette's. - For those of you who don't know what Tourette's is, Tourette's is - A neurological disorder, and it means I do movements and noises that I can't control, called tics. T-I-C-S not T-I-C-K-Ses. - Yeah, because those have Lyme Disease. - Those T-I-C-K-Ses are bugs. And sometimes I tell people I have tics and I see 'em like back away slowly. Different kind. - My favorite T-I-C of yours is - I bark when I get really excited (laughs). - And you know who else loves that? - I love you more than all people! I love you more than all people. - One of the last videos that I did, which people really enjoyed, was I encourage them to roast me on Instagram. I wish I had a professional comedian. She's professional. She not only performs all around in New York City, but the whole United States. Even the world, right? - Yeah, somehow. - You've done shows in Israel and stuff? - Yeah, Canada, Israel, London. - Canada's not around the world. - You know what? We're gonna count it. - It's two hours away. - We're gonna count it. - I'm inclusive of Canada being part of us. - Yeah, but I don't know that it technically is. - It's not. - Okay. Roasts come out of love, right? Like I think this came out of Mike asked me to do this, (chuckles) and I was like, oh my gosh, I need time to write these. And then they just flowed out, you know what I mean? Because it's not that hard to make fun of this kid. - At the end of this, are you and I gonna remain friends? - God, I hope not. I will continue coming over for the dog. Mike dates 10s. To be clear, that's how hot they are and their IQs. - (wheezes) It's not a burn on me! - Yeah, it is. - No, it's not! - Oh, sorry. - You're burning my dates. (laughs) - Dr. Mike has millions of followers, and literally ones of friends. - That one actually hurts because it's true. (laughing) I think I have more fingers than friends. - If you pull a tear, I'll be really impressed. - Bear will lick it from me. - Please know that all of these come out of love. Also, that's a creepy thing to say. Dr. Mike works out every day, has a fancy car, and a huge dog. (laughs) - I do have a huge dog. - You do have a huge dog. Mike's clothing is so tight, he uses it to teach us about anatomy. - Tight is accurate. - I know. Men who have midlife crises buy sports cars or large (rolls tongue) I messed that one up. Start over. Men who have midlife crises buy sports cars or large dogs. Mike has both. - (laughs) I'm not even 30 until next week! - Obviously, I'm not saying Mike has a small-- - Eggplant. - His car says that for me. (laughs) - I know one thing. Audi's not sponsoring this video. What would you say if I had a pickup truck? The same thing? - Yeah, probably the same thing. I once went on a date with a guy in a pickup truck, and he literally goes, "Strap in." And I was like, "Do you have a car seat?" (laughing) Mike once said he could diagnose a gynecological issue by the smell. (laughing) To which his girlfriend replied, "Please stop calling it my gynecological issue." (wheezing) - Bear wants to diagnose a gynecological issue. What did you come here for? - Bear and I have a thing. I'm not gonna get into it. Mike has dated three Miss Americas, but only because Miss Universes have standards. - I dated a Miss Universe. - Shut up! - Well now that we got that out of the way, - Do you feel-- - Can you be nice to me now? - Yeah. - Okay. Do you... - Yeah, I need one of those. Honestly, it's been a tough week. I got roasted by the internet, and I got roasted by you. - 100% you asked us all to do it. - I know. Well, now let's get to the real reason why you're here. - Yes, sorry you haven't told me what that is. - I don't know either. Why are you here? How did me meet? Do you wanna tell people how we met? - Yeah, we did a program together at MIT. - You see how smart we are? - Both of us, equally. (laughing) - Mm? I did a program in college, I didn't do a program in college, I went to college, but clearly I didn't study that well 'cause of how I opened that. And it was called NYIT. Now it's a solid school, but it's no MIT. People would say, "Oh, you go to NYIT, that's so cool. "Where is that, what's it about?" I'm like, "Oh, it's like MIT, but in New York." - So you had to go to the real MIT for something. - Yes. - That was a really good story. We met at a program where we spent a week learning about disabilities in the media, and a way to make more noise in the positive world of disabilities in media. As a comic performer, there have been so many times in my life where I've been cut out of something, or not put in something, or not right in something, because I can't act away Tourette's. So that program, it was through the Ruderman Foundation and I think LEAD20 is what it's called. But it was a cool program for a week and there like 25 people who they considered influencers and then somehow me. Unclear how I got in. And we met for a week and talk about disability in the media and ways to have a bigger platform. But Mike and I, on night one decided that we're gonna be friends. - I knew we were gonna be friends because of one moment. - Okay, don't tell everyone this moment. - I'm telling everyone the story. - Don't tell (wheezing) everyone this moment. - We arrived at this esteemed program, MIT. - He's gonna go way worse than it sounds. - Everyone is talking about their accomplishments and what they do. - I have none. - And Pam is right next to me. And she goes to the leader of this organization. - Quietly. - Not quietly. "Hey, just so you know," "I just bought my own crib." "So, if I need to step out this shin dig" "and take some calls," "don't worry about it." - That is-- - And I was like, yo (hands clapping) New York, got it. - That is not even a little bit what happened. - That's exactly how it happened. - He's being incredibly dramatic. I'd just put an offer in on a tiny little place in the city. - Multimillion. - That's actually total BS. - You have shades that go up and down electronically. - Yeah, in my one room. - A giant loft. - Not even a little bit. - 5,000 square foot loft. (chuckles) One room. - They believe me right now, because they're met me. We're gonna be like no way does this kid own anything more than like, a barn. (chuckling) Like a cage. Like a cage. So I said, "I just put an offer down," "literally, two hours ago." "I might have to step out." "I'm so sorry," "but I don't want you to think I'm being rude." I roasted him, pretty much night one of that JFK Museum. - Yeah, she just wouldn't stop. We actually roasted JFK a lot. - Yes, we did. - Who has a lot of accomplishments. - He was perfect. - He did everything. - He was perfect. - I think he has closets and stuff that we don't know about. - I think you're trying to be like him. - I am. And then she told me a story. - Uh oh. - I think I was on day two. - This is my favorite story. I think this is your favorite story too right? - This is definitely my favorite story. Honestly, if you didn't have this story I wouldn't be your friend. - That's totally fair. - Yeah. - If you weren't a doctor, I wouldn't be your friend. - All right, well-- - I up until a few weeks ago, lived in a tiny Manhattan study apartment with thin walls and no pet policy. And sometimes, I bark at night due to the Tourette's. And someone in my building, must have complained that I had illegally gotten a dog. (chuckles) And I'm not kidding. - Which is not crazy! - Which is not crazy. - If I'm sleeping next door to you and I hear barking, and I'm like, "You, this girl got a"-- - And I bark primarily between the hours of midnight and 3 a.m. - Why? Werewolf thing? (wheezes) I don't know. - No, I think it's like that's when I'm writing and doing my most creative stuff, and it just feels good to bark. - You're not sleeping between 12 and 3? - Not usually. - Oh well. - And the owner of my building showed up, unannounced, at my door. She knocked on my door and I answered, and she was like, "Hi Pamela," "it's so good to see you." "There have been some reports" "that you have illegally gotten a dog." "As you know, this is a pet free building." "You can't have a dog here." "I'm here to do animal check," "see that you have a dog" "and we're gonna have to go from there." And I was peeing my pants off. I was laughing so hard. And I go, I go, "Cool, cool, cool." "here's what happening." "I have Tourette's, I bark at night" "There is no dog, look around." (wheezing) And the blood drained from her entire body. She was modified. She did the quickest sweep around my tiny, tiny, tiny studio apartment. And she came back and she, like her eyes were like she just seen a ghost. And she goes, "I am so, so, sorry." And she hugged me. And then she took my little hands in her hands, and she goes, "If anybody else complains," "nothing will be done." "I am mortified." "I am so, so sorry." And then she took my little face in her hands, and she goes, "If anyone else complains," "I will not come back," "you will not hear from me again." "Please forgive me." And she hugged me twice, and she left. And an hour later, I went out and I got a dog (wheezing). - I was like, "Now's my chance!". What do you want people in the world to know, specifically, about Tourette's? - So, I think everyone with Tourette's has a different story and point of view. I like to remind people that you've met me, I have Tourette's, you've not met all people with Tourette's. Right? - Good. - You might meet someone in a wheelchair. You've not met all people in a wheelchair. So, I think there's this desire to know a diagnosis or label about someone. Instead, of just getting to know them. There've been so many times in my life where I been winking at someone or making faces and someone has tried to guess why I do it. As opposed to just, "Oh, okay she winks." Or, "She makes faces." Or instead of being like, "Is everything okay?" Right, I think you can-- - You prefer they ask that? - I prefer they not guess. There been times in my life where someone is stared at me and be like, "Bell's palsy?" and I wanted to be like, "Survey says, not a guessing game!" - Why did I like that so much? (chucking) - 'Cause you've wanted to do that for, I'm kidding." - Or, 'cause I just like Family Feud. - Yeah, well it's a, yeah, yeah. - It's a good show. - So, one thing is don't guess. Get to know someone for who they are and what they bring to the table or community. And the other is, listen I just think it's so cool that we live in a world with differences. And disabilities are differences. A lot of people are afraid of the word disability. And I just think, it can be something we celebrate. I doesn't mean it's not hard, or frustrating, or painful. But my Tourette's is never gonna go away. And so there's no reason to fight it. I rather embrace the heck out of it. Find the funny in it. And like, go from there. - But you don't expect everyone to do that right now? - No, first I don't expect everyone to get on stage talking about what makes them, them. - Okay. - I don't expect everyone to have humor be something that works for them. But I think, everyone has something that they bring to this world, that no one else does. Could be something totally different for everyone. And I think I wanna live in a world where everyone is on the journey to find out what that is. - Do you think you've found that on accident? Or you think you've put the effort to find it? - So, I often tell the story of when I was a kid. I got shipped away to boarding school. - Is this gonna be a cage joke? 'Cause we've already had enough of those? - No, no. - Okay. - They did not put me in a cage, they were lovely, I love them. - (laughs) Okay, I don't know. You like shift away, I don't know. These the best four years of my life. You used weird verbs. - Shipped, is a crate (wheezing). - Sorry, crate, cage. Why are always enclosed? - I'm 4'6" it feels nice. So, when I was a kid I actually had the worst diagnosed case of Tourette's any doctor had ever seen. - Wow, okay. - Think that's something to differentiate. That at this point it's a lot of things that you might not be noticing, but I feel constantly. I'm always ticing my stomach muscles and my fingers and you can see my face, but it's always happening. But when I was a kid, it was much more physically violent. So I broke my neck from throwing my head back so hard, and ruptured my appendix from tensing my stomach muscles so hard. And for a long time, I felt like Tourette's made me different in a bad way. That, I was something other people had to work through. I was disruptive, I was loud, I took away from my community. And at boarding school, they realized that I had nothing about myself that I loved, or that I felt added value to the world. So they put me on a journey to find something that I loved about myself. And for me, it was stand-up comedy. - How did they do that? - It clicked immediately. Well, they put in a ton of different classes and workshops to try stuff on for size. My favorite is the first thing they put me in was a stained glass making workshop. Are you catching on? - Yeah. - Okay, because stained glass is all sharp tools. (wheezing) And Tourette's is a movement disorder. - Yeah, so why did they do that? - I don't think we thought it-- - Did they do that sarcastically? - No, I don't think anyone thought it through. - Rest in peace tip of every finger. (chucking) No, I'm just kidding. I was a witty tough kid. But I wasn't channeling it correctly. And they ended up putting me in a stand-up improv workshop. And it clicked immediately. - Wow, okay. Why did you go to the boarding school? Sorry, why were you shipped off to the boarding school? - I went to board, no. So, a lot of reasons. My Tourette's so severe that my public school in the Midwest had no idea how to treat me, or how to include me. They had me in a class away from other people. So I was like socially very isolated. When it got so disruptive, they stopped allowing me to come in. So they put on some on something called home bound. When my neck was broken and the teacher would come to my house and teach for like three hours a week. So I was not getting a real education. - And did this boarding school, do they have a specialty in this? - No, so we-- - So why did they know that, first of all, who sent you there? - So, I sued my school system. - You did? - My family sued my school system. They wanted to put me in special education. Which was not the right fit for me. I have no control over my body and the noises that I make, but that wasn't the right fit for me, right? - Yeah. - But I was too disruptive to be in the typical classroom. And so they said enough awful things and did enough awful things. Like this is a direct quote. - Oh no. - The woman hired to be the advocate for kids with disabilties said, and I quote, "Kids with disabilities." "Kids like Pam." "Don't get A's or B's." "They don't get into college," "and they don't get invited to hang out at the mall." "And if you lower your expectations now," "it'll be easier in the future." That was a direct quote said to me and my mother. - That's messed up. - From an educator. - Did they say that to you in jest? - No. - So that was her reasoning as to why she was doing what she was doing? - Yeah, that was her reasoning of preparing my mother, for me not having life like other people. - Were you not getting A's or B's? - No, I wasn't even really able to go. But I was failing out because they just had no idea, they just had no idea how to include me. They had no idea how to allow me to make noises and flail in a classroom. And a lot of people think that people with Tourette's just yell cuss words. That's because the media makes us think that. Most people with Tourette's actually don't. I did (laughs). - Okay. But I liked to not make that the whole thing. - Sure. - I yelled, bad words and also phrases and words for about three years of my life. But it just, they had no idea how to let me be successful in a classroom. - If you were her. What would you have said to you? Instead of that? - I would've never put a limit on a kid. - Okay, so tell me what you would say. - So, I probably would of said, "Let's get to know you and your goals." "Let's get to know what makes you, you." "And let's see what we can put in to place" "to allow you to be your best self." As opposed to, "Kids like you," "aren't gonna go anywhere." "So let's lower our expectation now," "so that it doesn't hurt later." - So, it's not about lowering the expectation but changing them. - It's about changing them. And sometimes adapting. - Adapting. - And saying to a kid, who you are right now and what your kid will have now is not gonna be what you're capable of in four months, six months, four years. - It's a short sided view. - Yeah, so let's do what we can now to celebrate the heck out of you, and see how much you can do. And I went to go audition for the school play and I remember the director laughing and saying, "Are you kidding me?" And like having me leave the theater. - I've seen the, are-you-kidding-me type people. But I've also seen the awe people. We've talked that one when were in MIT. You're not a fan. - No. This word inspiration, is like one of my least favorite words. I think being inspired is great. I think we often have this desire to hold up people with disabilities as an inspiration for just living their life. I think we should be celebrate when someone sets goals and pushes themselves, and tries to break down barriers. That's something that we can be inspired by. But so often in my life, I remember being in my boarding school bathroom and someone being like, "You inspire me." And I was like, "I'm brushing my teeth." (laughs) I'm really proud of us, that we're going pretty easily back and forth between serious and wildly inappropriate, and joking. - If you walk into one of my patient encounters. When we're talking-- - Do you call it an encounter? - Yeah. And we're talking about cancer. This is what it's like. Do you think this is a good healing environment? - For the people it works for, yes. - Yeah, I mean I don't force jokes on someone who's actively crying. - No. - Like if you weren't feeling this vibe - Right. - You would adjust. - You know it, yes. - I wouldn't be an antagonist. - You follow someones lead. - Yeah, exactly. - Yeah, there's so many people who like, I did a show this week, and I was at the funny parts. As a one woman show, where I talk about my life going up with Tourette's and how I turned into my favorite thing about me. And I was doing it on stage and someone yelled, "We're supposed to laugh at this!" When other people were laughing. - At you? - He was in the audience. He was a young man who I believe had a disability. But I had to stop and be like, No, no, no, I'm like Tinkerbell. You clap and laugh and I get life. I was like, this is what I need. - So this is a cool, this is a line that I think people don't understand. Because, I think for the average person sitting at home, and I don't wanna think for everybody. But I can easily put myself in someone's shoes. Who, let's say is going to work, hits some traffic, and is like, "Eff my life," "I'm so stressed out." "My life sucks." "I got a flat tire today." And then they go home and there's a commercial on T.V. where it's like, "Our children don't have drinking water." And they're like, "Oh my god, my life is so great." And I need to compare and contrast. So I can see how that person can then look at a person who's going through difficulties in life, and say, "You're an inspiration." Do they mean that in a negative way? Probably...like, intent do you think they are? - No, I really don't think people mean it in a negative way. I think, it just it's not the disabilities communities job to make you feel better about your life. - You don't like people to feel pity. - Yes! - And as a result of that, they think higher of you. - Yeah, I don't want to be pitied. I think most people don't want to be pitied. - Yeah, I don't think I think if I do something well and I normally suck at basketball, and all of a sudden people are like, "Wow, you normally suck and you did great today." That wouldn't be a great compliment. - No. - But if they're like, "You practiced a ton." "and you're now good." - Yes! - They're appreciating your work. - Yes, there you go. - So, the question being is, if you're someone who's always wanted to be on the basketball team and you came to every game and they never let you play because obviously they were trying to win, or whatever it was, they're very competitive. And in the end, they let you in as a way to say like, "Look, even though you're not part of us," "in this journey," "you are now part of us." And we say awe to that. - I don't like that. Why not instead let that person be on the team or be the manager, or find a place that makes sense where they can shine and thrive. - That's good, that's good. - But I wanna be clear - No, that's good. - I think there's this, every time I've done a video and I've talked about my Tourette's and my disability. People have been like, "She doesn't get to speak for all of us." - No, you're not gonna speak-- - And I agree, - I'm speaking for me, - Pamela Rae Schuller. - and myself. And that's it. And you got my whole name right. - Mister I'm not saying you're full name. - You're not Ray Donovan. (wheezes) Only Ray Donovan gets Ray. So I wanna give you an example of a friend I know. But you don't know this person. They had a rough childhood growing up. They had some neurological disorders and they struggled, they had to go to different schools and stuff. And after a while they kind of found their own. And they became really successful in what they do. And now they're sort of even well known. They travel places, they get paid to do appearances. They even do stuff around New York. And they've succeeded over these challenges that had been place for them. If I go to Gotham Comedy Club in New York and I see my friend on stage, can I feel proud of them for getting passed all that? - I think so, yeah. - Okay. - Yeah, because I-- - So I'll see you at Gotham Comedy Club. (laughing) - I thought maybe that was about me. - Did you know it was you? - But I also didn't want to be like, bet you think this song is about you, you know what I mean? I think it's about intention. And I think it's about knowing that people with disabilities aren't sad. I think there's this perception that we're struggling or sad. Or we wish that we were whole, or didn't have a disability. And for many of us, and I won't speak for all of us. I think a lot of people feel like, no, this is me. I'm a embrace who I am. It doesn't meant there are not struggles and challenges but I'm gonna embrace this. - Sure, I mean I wish I was as good in basketball as LeBron is. And if I had, you know, really weak right leg and I was a soccer player, and I wish I had a better rep. I don't know it, intentionally if they're rude to people. - No, I don't think they are. - So, does a person who has a limb difference, are they allowed to think like, I wish I didn't have this? - I think if you're the person with it, lived experience. There's no wrong thing for you to wish or hope. - Okay. - You often times make jokes about having a disability. - I would say I don't make it about Tourette's. I talk about my view with Tourette's. I am comfortable laughing about my Tourette's and what makes me, me. And I think the more I create communities where people are like, oh no that is funny. Like, it's nuts, I bark. I wink uncontrollably and men get very confused (laughs). Like this week, literally this week, I winked at a guy once and he was confused. And then OCD make me wink at him 27 more times. And I literally thought he was gonna implode. - So, we live in the era of cancel culture, outrage culture. You agree? - I think there's always an outlier, but I think we do live in that time and I wish we did not. - Okay. When is it acceptable to laugh? When is it not acceptable? When does the person telling the joke cross the line? - It's unclear, it's unclear. I think I can talk about anything in my experience in my world, and it should be okay. - For us to laugh? - Yeah. For me to talk about for the audience to laugh at. I do think there are comics who've said things that are hurtful and mean. I don't think they should be canceled. Then just don't laugh. I think as a comic it's such an art of finding the line. Things are funny because you are pushing boundaries sometimes. And sometimes that means stepping through line, shattering the line, limboing the line. I think there is something to be said for being in spaces where we can find it. All of these jokes that I have now about Tourette's, my height, my dating life, my mother. They all often took missteps of me saying things and people were like, ugh. You can find humor in hard, scary, sad things. My favorite things to write about like, I once did an entire 10 minute set on my dad dying. And I (laughs), and I-- - And we're laughing about it already. - Well, for years it was the one thing that I couldn't write jokes about. My dad died on Valentines day. Quickest way to ruin the holiday, in case you're wondering. And for years, it was the piece I didn't touch. And I finally one day all of the jokes started flowing out of me. So I booked five shows on Valentines day. Ruined one couple's date after the next (chuckles) just all night. - So you were just getting back at people? - Oh yeah, it was fantastic. No, but I think even on that night people were like, this is hard and it's hilarious. It's why comics exist, it's why people go to see comedy. You wanna find humor in the world. - Why do you think we find humor in dark places? - I think some of it is a coping mechanism. I think for me is the comics, some of it it's a coping mechanism. - What do you think for the audience? Like why do we get that, like you say something and we're like, oh, but there's kind of-- - Oh, that's my favorite feeling. - Yeah, why is that? - Some of it is like, I'm not suppose to laugh about that. And any other place I couldn't. - Do you think you're giving people the opportunity to laugh at things that they would normally would not be allowed to laugh at? - I think I'm giving people the permission to laugh at things that they're not suppose to laugh at, they feel like. - So you think it's something like that? - It's a place where societal, where the rules of society don't exist. Which is why I think I disagree with cancel culture. - God, I have so many-- - Is that wrong? - Things to relate to this. - I think a comedy club should be where we're just like, kind of can say - Anything. - People don't have to laugh. But if you're working on well crafted great jokes, then let's do it. Because I love my comedy community so much. I'm not willing to be like, don't do that. Because I think there's always a way to do it. You just have to work at it. Comedy isn't just getting up and being like, this is the most inappropriate thing I can think of. It's us working on jokes, and crafting jokes, and trying to find angles. I just don't think we can ever say, don't do this, do this. - In all these arguments there's always some, you're partially right, you're partially right, and we need to figure out what's the middle line. So I've always want to figure out what's the middle line? Like, if we make a joke about it, but someone gets offended. We can apologize to that person. We can talk about it. - Or we can say, I'm an artist and I was finding my footing. And I have a few things in mind right now, like recent things that have happened. Where there's been just a big uproar, of being like, that comic should be canceled. They should be pulled from T.V. or whatever they were on. As opposed to, let's start a conversation about this. Let's use this to talk about it. Because I think comedy can be a conversation starter. And I think when we cut if off, it's a conversation ender. It's like reinforcing this belief that disabilities are something we should hide behind or be embarrassed. As opposed to, no, it's okay to laugh. Let's find the line, let's do this together. Let's have a conversation. There is always a way to make something funny. I don't think every comic does it. - So you believe you should vote with your laugh? - Yeah, I do. - 'Cause the biggest punisher for a comic is no laugh. - Yeah, and I think if someone said something that's really mean and hurtful, let's have a conversation about it. Let's just think about it. Let's not pull them off of T.V. Let's not cancel them as a human. Let's talk about it. - Define Pam. - Oo, wildly inappropriate. I'm incredibly resilient. But I think resilience can be taught. I'm witty. And I think I am filled with this desire to make the world a better place for people who are different. And that's disability or otherwise. People who feel like they're on the outside of whatever world or community they're in. I'm a huge believer in therapy. I think we all need it. I certainly don't. - Why did you role your eyes when you said it? - I have Tourette's. I'm 4'6" funny, It's a whole lotta funny, and a half. - I think you're a solid 4'9" funny. - Thank you so much. I am not (chuckles). There was a guy sitting next to me, and they make him go to detention because he had never had detention. And I had a tic where I did this (grunts) really hard. And I accidentally, he was sitting too close to close me. And I just had a fear of like, wha, oops, what if I like meh. But your arms where here and then I felt safer. Sorry Glen. You can cut it all out right? - Oh my god. - 'Cause I wanna be like (beep) but I didn't (wheezes). - But you did. - No, but I didn't. - I can't unhear it, - Getting to know what makes someone tic. See what I did there (hands slapping). I just love that we got close enough so quickly that day three, and you were in a elevator being like, "She barks!" - If you'd like to see more of Pamela Rae Schuller visit her YouTube channel down below. - And my Instagram! (wheezing) - And her Instagram. You don't even post on Instagram. - All of the time I do. I have literally tons of followers. - If you'd like to see a funny video, where should they click? - Like right here? - Yeah right here. And then if they wanna watch me in the hospital, where should they click? - Right here! - No, right here, right here. - Right here. - And then let's put another over here. What do you thinks should go over here? - Right there. - What kind of video should go here? Wanna do like a drama review? - Yeah. - All right, drama review up here. Click that one. And as always, stay happy. - I know what he wants me to say, but Ima say, stay fabulous. - Okay. - And healthy. (wheezing)
