- Hey everyone, I'm Colleen, and this is my sister, Rachel Ballinger, and she's a vegan. (Rachel laughs) So today we're having a vegan... (both laughing) Well I'm just explaining
why it's vegan food. - Okay, also 'cause it's just really good. You like this, you eat this without me- - Yeah, I love this place,
this place is really good. I don't only eat it when Rachel's here. I eat it all the time.
This place is really good, they make really bomb vegan food. So we're gonna eat a bunch of vegan food. Flynn is already digging in, he's been... Come here. Can you show
them how full your mouth is? Come here. Let's show them how full your mouth is. This is my son Flynn. We're having a muck bang a little muck bong, muck
bang, yumminess of vegan food. And we're going to spill the tea. I've been wanting to do this muck thing for a very long time. - We've tea? - Yes. We're gonna talk about how
you used to work for me. - Oh. - And you don't anymore,
and you haven't for years. But the reason why she doesn't is drama. - Yeah. But not between us. - No. But like there was big drama. - There was big drama. - And I don't think we've
ever talked about it online. - It wasn't really drama. I just was like, I snapped, put someone in their place and the quit. - It was drama, quite well, she quit. (laughing) And it wasn't drama between
us in the sense of like, we didn't get in a fight. But it was drama in the sense that I got a text from her that said, I'm not doing this ever
again, I quit. (laughing) - And then continued to
do it for six months. - Did you? I don't remember. It was a long time ago. But I wanted to talk about it 'cause I thought it would
be an interesting story. And I want Rachel to be
here because I love her. And it's an excuse to make
her eat dinner with me, and an excuse to eat delicious food. So what we're eating, before we get into the tea, is vegan nachos. - And jack fruit. - And it's so good. - So you use jack fruit for the meat, and it is... Oh my gosh, these are
like my favorite nachos and there's no meat on them. Like, I don't know if it'll focus on that. But like, basically it's incredible. - Jack fruit is a weird fruit that when you pull it apart it
looks like pulled pork, and then it will suck up
whatever flavor you soaked in, you marinated in. - So good. - So it can just tastes
like barbecue pork, if you marinate it right. - We're also having avocado
tacos and potato tacos. 'Cause you liked the potato one. - They're really good. (laughing) - Flyn has never eaten so
many French fries in his life. (laughing) You just are gonna turn into
a big potato tonight buddy. - Come here. - Come here. So we're also having... Where'd he go? Rachel brought her own vegan food as well. - Because I thought
she would cancel on me, and it was getting really late. And so I just ordered food just in case. - And I was like, just bring it. - It's a falafelble. - And we also have a
cauliflower, fried cauliflower. They're supposed to be like Buffalo wings. - Or not. - You're supposed to deep it in like this sauce or something. - They're good, but
they're not Buffalo wings. - No, but it's so good. And I also have the Caesar salad. Oh, it's over there. I'm going to take home. Whatever we don't eat for
show you now we're not going to eat a lot of the Caesar salad at this place is my favorite Caesar salad. Oh it's yes. Ever. It's so delicious. Do you remember Eric coming in Nick? Can't see you. We go on tour and we'd ordered Caesar
salads from like room service and it would bring a head
of lettuce, a sardine. And then like sauce on the side I don't understand why
they would do that ever. Okay - Flint has a new thing that he does. He says okay. But he says it after he asks you something. So here's... Here's what he does. It's like this morning he goes, do do doc. Now that sounds weird. We have a doc that has cookies in it. Oh. And he calls cookies. Do do. For some reason, we still
don't know why, but he does. So he calls cookies doo doo. And so since there's
cookies in the duck, he says you do doc, if he wants
a cookie from the duck. So this morning he said, mama do do duck. I said, Oh, you want, you
want to go to the duty duck? And he goes, Oh, okay. So he says it after he has requested something,
you repeat the question. Then he says it like, Oh if I must. It's so funny I guess I'll eat a cookie. So why baby? Just curious right here. That's baby's chair over there. Do you wanna come sit with mama? Yeah. Okay. So Rachel and I used to tour together. So I used to tour alone at the beginning of my career and it was
lonely and really hard. Yeah. And I remember sitting... I remember sitting in the hotel lobby, lobby of a hotel in Canada somewhere in the middle of Canada. I'd never been there before. It was like negative seven degrees. my phone didn't work there because I couldn't afford to pay for like international out of state. And I was alone and I was
there for like a few days. Cause I had a couple of shows there and I just remember sitting in the lobby alone,
eating a steak sandwich. - Sounds good. - It was very good. And I was like near tears. Cause I was like, this is too lonely. I can't do this life. Like it's too lonely. - That's how I felt on bookstore. I did a book tour by myself. It's so lonely to travel. And so I was, I love touring. I love performing, but I was like I can't do this alone anymore. It's too hard. And so then... I was just out of college and had been denied from the LAPD. Don't worry. If not in that story, different person. - Well, no, you're not a
different person in the sense that the reason you wanted to do it was because you wanted to help people. Yeah. I didn't know about anything. - You wanted to help people and you wanted to make
a difference and like and you love rules and
structure and law like and you just liked helping people. So it wasn't like when
she was, you know, 20 21 that made sense. And then she went and she got denied. - I failed the lie detector test - Because not because she lied though. Well, one I got in a fight with a guy doing a lot of tough tests but they'd ask you how many
songs have you illegally downloaded and back
then, that's all you did. Like you, yeah, there was called line wire and you would just download songs. And I was like, I don't know like you have to give an exact answer. And I was like, I don't know,
probably like a thousand. And they're like exactly a thousand. I was like, I don't know.
They're like, we can't continue until you give an exact number. And I was like, well, if
I give you an exact number I'll be lying because that's,
I don't actually know these. And so I had just gotten a
shoot fight with the dude also because he was a sexist
prep that said he's never lied before in his entire life. And so I just started
fighting him verbally. - I can't fight someone
verbally in a job interview. - He was lying Okay. I also said I had
issues with authority. - Well, anyway, that's
a whole other story. She didn't tell you that in another real thing. She was upset though. She really wanted to do go that path. When she called me and I was really lonely touring alone. And so I was like, Hey,
I can tour learning more. I need help. I've started adding all these props. And I started doing like a slide show with
things on the screen. I can't do it all by myself. I'm on the stage. Do you
want to come tour with me? Like try to like help
be like an assistant. Are you coming more for more fries? Okay. For you got a dance guys you missed out the free I got gotta dance. Is that good? Okay. So so she started touring with
me and it was really awesome. Like we had so much fun. We have so many crazy
stories from tour, like so like awful and wonderful. Flynn, that is not a wise decision. He's about to knock off
all the food on this table. - So it was back in the
day when you were just doing it 200 to 400 seat comedy theaters. - No, it was wonderful because we had so much fun as sisters. Like that's like where we
became like best friends. - Yeah. Cause we've always been
like close and friends whatever. But like we
became like best friends. Cause we toured together
planes and car rides and we had to share our beds. Like we get hotel rooms
with one bed and it was just super fun. I don't know if you guys heard that but my husband just told my
son don't lick the floor. Whoa. Okay. So we were touring together. Things were great, but also not great because we were having so much fun. We were getting along great. We're like loving. We always made like,
okay, we have to try the the food of each location. So in Philadelphia we had to
have a Philly cheese steak. - We were at that point renting a car and traveling
around by ourselves. - So how it used to
work is I would like go to like do a show in New York rent a car and we drive it
to New Jersey, Philadelphia. We'd go up to like Buffalo, New
York and then go back to it. So we'd be gone for
like a week rent a car. And we would just drive
to the different places. It was super fun. We have stories of when it wasn't but we would always make sure that like we tried whatever
that city was known for. So - Like a Philly cheese
steak, and Philadelphia. Right. And so we had fun
doing stuff like that. Or we going to adventures,
we'd be like, Oh we have the afternoon off. Let's go and do this
weird like escape room before it was called an escape room. Like it was something else back then. - Like Glaser. - And we had, we just
did so many fun things. We also have horror stories of like I was also at the time
doing everything by myself. Like I had just gotten an
agent who would book me at comedy clubs but I had never done
stuff like that before. Other than like, I booked
myself places before but he would be like, all right these places are all
close driving distance. So just rent a car and go boop, boop. And I would book the rental car. I would book my flights. I would book my own hotels. Like I did everything. I didn't have someone
to do that for me yet. And so I messed up a few times and I remember it was
a really bad mess up. - And then we got it though. We did it. - It was crazy. So like, I don't remember. I think we were in Detroit we were Detroit, Michigan. - We were in Detroit. And the next show was in like Buffalo New York or something like that. - Well, Albany? - Albany, New York, maybe. I don't remember, but it was not close but because my agent
had booked like Detroit and then a couple shows in New York and a couple of shows in like
Philly or I don't remember. My shows typically were like,
we would drive to the mall. - They were all within
two hours of each other - And he didn't tell me he didn't want me because he didn't think he'd need to. He thought, I just knew
the geographic locations of these shows and that they
are not drivable to each other but I'm from the West
coast and the West coast. Like we don't, we're just I'm D I'm not going to
be follow the West coast. I'm stupid. And I didn't know. And neither did Rachel. These weren't close. I just assumed. Cause all of our shows were
like, you fly to a place you drive to all the shows you fly home. And so...
- I just get in the car and plug it into the phone and go. - So we get to Detroit and we do the show and we're like sitting backstage and like I'm about to do the meet and greet. - No, we were in the hotel in bed. - Oh that is true. - You're in a rental rate hotel. - Okay. So we're Oh my God. It was so bad. So we...
- We did have two beds. - We were in a horrible hotel. It was a horrible hotel. - Red something, red line? - I don't know. But it was like one of those
hotels that was like very and like the door opened to like
parking lot, the parking lot which was next to the freeway. So it was like loud and it reminded me of like the hotel they stay at in that show that everyone
loves Schist's Creek. Have you seen Schist's Creek? - The Rosebud - Yeah. That's the kind of
hotel it reminded me of. So we did the show. We
did the meet and greet and back then we did the meet
and greets after the show. So it was like, we do a four
hour meet, greet we're in bed. It's like midnight or one.
And I was like, let's look at how long the drive
is going to be tomorrow thinking it's going to
be like three hours. Everyone was like 12. I don't know... - We had to drive through Canada. - Yeah and luckily we had our passport. I don't know how clue, but we were like - But also our GPS didn't work in Canada cause our phones
didn't work in Canada. - So we had to like write it
out. It was such a disaster. So we are in bed and we're
like, well, we got it. I guess we got to go. So we get back in the car,
we pack up all your stuff. We leave that hotel... - Luckily we have the mindset at that point because things weren't as stressful back then
where we weren't furious. I was mad. I wasn't mad at anybody. Like I feel like I'm so sorry. - I'm good in situations where it's like there is no other option. We have to do this. It's I'm in those situations. I'm very like, all right, let's do it. We're going to get it done. And then at first I'm like, no,
let's figure out a solution. And then if there's no
solution, I'm like, okay I'm not going to freak. Like let's just make it happen. So we got in the car, we went to like a seven 11 or something,
got a million weird snacks and strawberries kept us awake
because they were so sharp. Every time we put them in
her mouth, we were like wake us back up. And then it was like four in the morning and we were
like, we're going to die. - Yeah. Luckily I was I went when I was 21 and I was,
could stay awake all night. At that point - I feel like it was Buffalo, New York. I don't remember where we stopped but we maybe that's where we stopped. I don't know. I still don't know the geographic... - We you stopped at the One Above to sleep for two hours and then went... - We literally I was
like, I must have so bad. I'm going to find, I always
stayed at like janky places because they were cheap
and I didn't have money. And so I was like... - And we didn't care. - No. And so we were just like, all right I'm going to spend my money. I
found like a five star hotel. And I just remember that bed feeling like a
fancy rich person bed. And like, we, I was
like, Oh my gosh, Rachel we're getting our own beds. I'm going to get us a room with two beds. And we're both going to sleep for a couple hours before
we hit the road again. So we slept for like two hours
and then hit the road again because we had to be at the next theater and like the new... - New tire tech did shell,
shell meet everything. - Like it was crazy. So that was a crazy tangent. Yeah. I apologize. - That was a very beginning, like... - But that's just a good example of like what we went
through together here. - That was the first year
of us working together. - And also like we all the, our own merch. - Oh yeah and before the shows I had to - Rachel run everything like
we did everything and part of working in the comedy clubs and in theaters quite
honestly is there's a lot of sexism just to be blunt. And especially a lot of the places we traveled
to, for some reason the men that we came in
contact with were really rude. And to be completely Frank I wasn't even convinced it was sexism. I was pretty convinced. It was just like, maybe these
people are just rude people. And until I started traveling with men and then now
traveling with men now even like my shows in
beginning of this year in 2020 I go to theaters and I'll ask for something very nice
that you can attest to this. Like I'm like, extremely kind. is there any way we could
get the projector to work? I need it for my show. And it's in the writer and you
guys told us multiple times that it did work, but it's not working. Is there any way we could
work on it? Well, it's broken. Okay. We can fix that. Like I'm like really, really, really kind. I try my hardest to be at least. And... - The amount of shows that people have told you
to do without the projector, is hilarious because that's half your show. - So anyway, I'm now traveling with men. I traveled with Corey
and my cousin, Andrew when they ask for things like immediately Andrew specifically, it'll get done. And if I ask her things,
I'll get eyes rolled at me. People will walk away and call me the B word it
just for asking for something. And back then we were young. You Rachel was 21 right here. Oh no. Hmm. Let me see. I'm going to rinse. - You got it. - Oh, thank God. Okay. So anyway, I forgot
what I was talking about. Just people are really young. And so there's these
two young girls coming into their comedy clubs or their small theaters
alone with a big suitcase. Full of weird stuff. Yeah. They didn't want us there. They were rude to us. And for the most part there were some people that were kind but for the most part,
people were extremely rude. - I would end up, end
up winning them over. - Yeah. Sometimes - What about if we ever went back... - We'd always Win them over after the show. But when you get there for
the tech, they'd be rude. They wouldn't help. And I still experienced
this a lot when I, well when tour happens now doesn't and, but by the end after they see like the audience
and like how we interact with the fans and like
how much we love our job and then like work into it. Yeah. We worked hard
and the fans loved it. And like, it was always so
fun and such a great energy after this really wall,
that was one heck of a show. And then they'd be all nice Anyway, I'm getting to this story. I'm getting to the T. So we, I'm not going to say
any specific information cause I don't wanna get in trouble. Cause I do still work with
some of these people . - As time went on your show, got bigger. Your audiences got bigger. We had to hire more people. It got more professional. And that's when I feel like we didn't Get to do the, let's try
this thing. And every state. Yeah. And like the little
things we used to do like share hotel rooms and drive all night or whatever... - That doesn't happen anymore.
- You don't want to wait. It's very much like business you well because they tax so many shows
in a small amount of time and you know, we try to not
make that happen so much. Like I do get to enjoy
stuff now, but sometimes but like a lot of time
tour is like, I own that. People go, what's it
like to travel the world and see all these cities. You don't see it. You see the hotel room,
you see the theater and you see the bus or
the plane that you travel. And that's basically all you see. So you have to make sure
the people you're traveling with are wonderful. - My favorite cities were
the ones where we just had an extra day because I
actually got to see the cities. - So we're on this one
tour that was hectic. It was... - It was a flight every single day. - It was the J detour was just jam packed. And there were thousands of
people at every single show. - We had so many people with us too. Too many cooks in the kitchen. - We brought a lot of people
with us who had like, yeah just people from all the different teams like there's the PR my, my
agents and those people. And then there's like the production and then there's just promoters. And then there's... - Because it was a huge leg of a tour. So everyone felt they needed
to send a representation of that. - So we did this one tour and Rachel and I are the ones who know
me the best, the show the best how everything works the best our fans the best. We know how everything works and it's frustrating when someone tells us who's never done it before, how it works. And we're like, thank you. But actually you don't know
what you're talking about. And this happens now with Corey and I, cause now I travel with Corey and we get the same exact
thing happens to us. If someone else shows up
and is there to like help. And it's like, well actually, you know I think it won't be that bad. I think it, actually, this will happen. You know? Like our I'll be like, can
you turn off the microphones? They get really loud. The audience is really
enthusiastic and they scream. No, you're up loud enough. Okay. - So you can't hear how for
the first half of the show. - I am like but you need to
turn off the mics and the music because they are very loud and they love to scream
and it's really fun. And energy is real... - You are supposed to scream. - Yeah. And they'll be like,
no, you're loud enough. And then after the show I'd
have turned you up, Mike. So anyway, we were on this one trip I'm going to try my hardest,
not to say where we were what we were doing, but it was hectic. It was so packed with like
flights every morning. - Literally every single day,
we had to go the airplane But we were with people who wanted to get to the airport three hours. - And Rachel has also, we traveled same. So it's like, we know
exactly when we need to be at the airport, how much
time we need, how to do it. Like where... - How much our bags way.
We're very good at that stuff. And this person, one of
the people who's traveling with us wanted us to get there like three or four hours before every, and we're like that means we're not sleeping. Cause it was still a meet and greets were after
the show at this point. So anyway, long story short, very long story short. Cause I could go on and on and on. We had had a very stressful no horrible like situation going on. Like it was really, really rough. And my mom was on that trip with us too. And that was back before she
was comfortable traveling. She has really bad anxiety traveling. So she was, you know,
we're trying to take care of our mother and make
sure she was comfortable in a new place, traveling
every single day on flights every single day, which is
like not was at the time. Very difficult for her - Its difficult for anybody. - So This person, one of the
people that was traveling with us the first like, okay Rachel and I both were
like, I sobbed from it. Your mom's eyes swell up and I, my eyes, I got them. I was holding it together. And when I got on my seat on
the plane, I was sitting next to mom, I think, are
you, I don't remember. I sobbed from anger. I, which I don't know
that I've ever written. They were so rude to our
mother for no reason. They like, I feel like I don't know if he'll ever watch this. No, I don't think you
should give too much away. Not a good reason at my mom. And like, just like kind of
like snap, like come on now. Like to my mom basically. Yeah. There's a baby up there toddler now. Okay. Oh God. So there we are. Sorry. It was rough from the beginning. We were like, Oh no. And you don't disrespect our parents. Like you just, I mean,
that's a quick way for you to like get the boot. And so this person who like I like fine and like love
working with and is great Tips with every once in a while. Yeah. So this person, basically
we were driving home from a show and I love, I
need to really hit this home. I love meeting My fans. I love it. I love it. After the show or
sometimes it would annoy me because I'd be like, I need
some, I need to go get it. Yeah. Like I did it. I feel like annoys everyone on
the team to a certain extent where they're like, we have to go. And like, I just, I really
love meeting everyone. But my big butt is I don't
think it is appropriate or respectful or kind to go to someone's hotel room or their home. Like that is your home. And you need to have a
place where you feel safe. And so I will talk to anyone anywhere. Anytime restaurants on the
streets, malls shows before shows after shows. Like I love meeting, hugging,
talking to getting to know fans. But when people like
stalk me is how it feels at my place where we live or
a place where we're staying or whatever like that. I, we don't like it it's,
it feels like an invasion of privacy. If it is really uncomfortable. Because once you hear
someone giggling outside your hotel room, door, taking
pictures of it, you're like Oh, they're listening. They can hear every time the poop. There's no place for you to feel. Can they see through the
like, can I take shower? Am I safe? Like do, are they going
to tell them downstairs? They know me and they're
going to let them in my room. Like it's so it's, it's, it's scary. So basically I walked out of her hotel
room once on a vacation and our girl was like,
are you Rachel Ballenger? She was waiting at my door. And I said, no. And I walked away. And then she tweeted, I
just met Rachel boundary. And she said, she must
reach what it was we've had. And we're like, this is we've had situations in
the past where people we have said hi and been
excited to meet someone in the lobby or outside
our hotel room door. And then they tweet or post
somewhere where we are. And then the next day there's
a bunch of people there. And then you just are There was one time when a
hotel noticed all these people gathering in our hall and
the hotel had to put security because they were blocking
fire exits and like, Whoa we didn't even say anything. The hotel called our room
and was like, what's going on on your, because it got out of hand and it wasn't anything we did. So that's something that Like, I will always love
and appreciate meeting fans. Like I wouldn't be right
in without you guys. But I do think that there's
a boundary that I have to set which is like coming
to where someone lives or where they're living
or sleeping or standing. And Especially now more than
ever that you have Flynn. Yes. That's a whole other issue. When I was in New York, it happened and I Mama bear, I Was furious, like shaking
so bad that when I got to waitress, when I got to
my do the broader show the cast was like, are you okay? And I was sobbing. I
was like, I'm not okay. Like, I was very, very upset. That was the first time
someone had inter anyway invaded my space after I've
had a child who was very bad anyway, moving on to the story. So we we're driving home
from a show and something that happens sometimes is people
will follow us to see where we're staying so they can do
what we just talked about. And so usually when we have
a driver after a show, we say Hey, make sure no one follows us, please. Like, if you can just make
sure no one's falling. It's just keep an eye out for it. So we were driving to back
to the hotel after the show. And Rachel noticed that there
were people following us and she said to the
driver, Hey, you need to lose these people. I don't want them following
us back to the hotel. We were all dead tired. Hadn't slept in days. Like we had a flight at like
4:00 AM the next morning. And it was like, 1:00 AM
like, we were just so done. Yeah. And I think this person
that we were traveling with Rachel is here. Hey, did they snap at you then? No. Well they said, there's
nothing we can do about that. Yeah. That's what it is. So Rachel And this a lot, and Rachel
always tells the driver and they're always really nice about it. And she's just like, Hey, make
sure you can lose the people who are following us. And as person who was
traveling with us, it's snapped at my mom said, there's
nothing they can do about that. And I'm just like, yes, there
is like, he can lose them. I don't want them coming to our hotel. And he's like, well, there's
nothing to do about that. And he's never traveled with us. He'd never experienced this before. And he's like, they're not following this. No one's following us. Like he didn't even believe it to be true. Yeah. Do you want more fries? So we get to the hotel
and of course there, they Followed us and there's a bunch of people Like maybe a dozen people in the lobby. And I was talking to him,
I'm excited to see everyone. Like, you know, I'm taking
pictures of them talking to them but I'm also S near tears exhausted. And we just, you know, we
wanted to go upstairs and go to bed and get rest because
we had to leave in a few hours for the next flight. And you know, once that
happens, then with you if you have anxiety like myself,
like then you can't sleep. Cause you think you're being
watched with someone outside of spit out. Don't spit out your food on the floor. That was not nice. Pick that up and throw it
in the trash. That's trash. Now, pick it up, throw
it in the trash boy. Good boy. Playing, pick it up,
go put it in the trash. Yeah. Trash. So this person, Rachel,
I think you went up to him. I don't remember every
detail, but Rachel went up to this person and was like,
I told you, this would happen. Like I'm frustrated because
I was trying to avoid this. And now we're going to be here for an hour because she's
gonna have to take pictures of all these people talk
to all these people. And now we have to try
to get them to leave and not tell us where we are. And I have to go talk to them all and tell them not to tell
anyone we have to now to go to the front desk of the lobby tell them not to let
anyone know we're here. Put an alias like Rick. Cause Rachel knows the
protocols of it all. And did this person call
you to calm down the, like this person told you to calm down? I think Yeah. They're yelled at. Yeah. They yelled at me. There's like, there's nothing we can do. What did you want us to do? Yeah. And Rachel, look this
person in the face because she'd had enough because
there've been a lot of like I mean the equivalent to
mansplaining on this trip with this person on how
to do what we'd been doing for years alone. And this person was with
us for the first time and was mansplaining to
us, how to do our job. And so then he yelled at her. I was trying to do They them so that we
didn't know it's too late. It's a heat. It was clearly a man. And so He snapped Rachel. At this
point, it, Rachel had had enough. We'd all had enough. And so he screamed. I screamed at her in the
lobby in front of fans. And Rachel looks at him and goes You're an. I ran up the stairs Elevator. Then when I got
to my room, I got a text from Rachel that said, I'm done. This is the last tour
I'm ever doing the queue. I cannot do this ever again. And it was a combination
of things like the sexism we experienced on tour was very bad. And we were yelled at a
lot by men who thought we were stupid because we are women. And we were young. And we would ask for
things like you can imagine like eight years ago, nine
years ago, two very young early twenties women
telling middle-aged men what to do kindly, but saying
like, we need this microphone at this level. We need this to play at this moment. We need the VIP line to be
set up in this way to tell I wanted the lights to happen. So two young, 20 something
women telling men mostly in like in the
South and in middle America no shade to those places. Just the places we were going
were smaller towns where like just middle-aged men
were not a lot of the times not all of them were not comfortable with young women kind of
telling them what to do and were not comfortable with us like being in charge or
whatever in their space. And so we were talked down to a lot and ridiculed a lot and yelled out a lot. And so this had been a couple of years of that building up for her. And then this person was on tour with us mansplaining our job to us how to do everything and
how we were doing it wrong. And, and there was just so
many people, like, I just it it's when you started
getting like huge. And then so many people came
in every time to say, like it just was, so it just got to a point. And also touring was hard at that point. It was, it was still
fun for me, but it was it was very difficult. And we were away from home a lot. And Rachel, just and herb YouTube channel
started getting popular. And she was like, I think I, you know I wanted to focus on that. She wanted to focus on her
own career and her own thing which is obviously I knew
that that moment will come. So I was sad that she wasn't
gonna tour with us anymore but that was the tipping point. And I think we've always
just kind of been like, Oh you know, she just like, it
was time to do her own thing. The truth of it was like
she got in a yelling match. We ten one on my team I want to say like three
hours later and apologize. He sent her a long apology
and I, I ignored it. And so it wasn't, he, it was just like he was a full on like
screaming match anyway. Continue. Yeah. Yeah. And so that's actually
what, what, what it was. And I knew she was, she was very mad. Like she was very, very mad,
but you have to have such like a specific type of
thick skin if you tour especially if you're a
touring YouTuber, because you tubers have such a bad
reputation, unfortunately. And so I walk into a place and
the people at the venue find out that I'm a YouTuber
and they immediately don't like me and they immediately
think I do horrible things and I'm a brat and I'm
egotistical and whatever, and and think I'm stupid and whatever. And then after the show, they're typically everyone's really nice
and like, wonderful. And like, thank you so much. That was amazing. That wasn't what I expected. And you were so nice to everyone here. And like, everyone's like, great, okay. It's annoying to have to win over people every single year know. So it just, it just wasn't. And on top of that, you're not sleeping. You're traveling every day. It's very stressful. There's no time to do
anything else, but tour. So it was time, but
that was what made her. But I kept working for you for,
I think another six months. I said, I'll give you
until the end of the year. Cause I could, you had stuff planned. I think we already have bought
flights for other shows. I had, at that point I made my position like
what Corey does now. But I was like, it's a little bit it was a little bit different. Cause at that time I was
running tech, like lights. Like I was telling all the
tech people what to do. I was running a laptop and the point we were doing it, she and I Yeah, it was a different type of shoe. It was the same time it was temperature. But it was a different, I don't
know, like it's bigger now. Yeah. And now it's like Corey and Corey does like
everything, everything. And it's like, but back
then, like we did everything. And so that's I think another thing
that surprised people when we would tour is that because
I've been doing this for 11 12 years when I started,
I was doing it all alone and I had to learn all the tech all the microphones, all the lighting Oh, you have a friend teeny
who's in tech who wasn't tagged. And she taught me all the
lingo to tell the guys and there was so many times I'd call her and be like, Hey, ask me loose. What does it mean? I feel like, tell me I feel like though, like
when we get there, they think well, these girls don't know
anything about anything. And then, but we, when there are problems I appreciate that. I like have the experience
and all that stuff. Because when there are
issues with the projector or the microphones or the amps or anything like I do know what's
going on and you can help. Or like, if something
with a show goes wrong like I created, I'm not just
going to show up and be like well, if there's a problem, figure it out. And I don't know how anything works. Like, so I like that. I have that like Weird skill set that I'll never use again. No, you might use it in
my new year's Eve show. If that's true. I told you I would help
with your new year's Eve. My thing now is as long as I
don't have to travel, I'm fine. Well, traveling sometimes
it's still fun though. Yeah. Like I will always want to go with you to either Ireland or Scotland. Yeah. Those, those, those
ones have my heart still But that's the T with me and
Rachel, I don't think other than that, we, like, I
was trying to think like have we ever had like fights? I don't think we really have That's you've like
become adults, Leah, when we were kids all the time. But not since we've been adults. I don't think no, because I
like, because of those, all of those things we had, we
learned how to communicate to each other. We've had like stupid tips. Like I don't even when you were pregnant you rolled your eyes at me once. So I went, I don't even remember. I cannot be held responsible. I was standing. I said, and he goes, pregnancy. Just always think pregnancy,
I cannot be held responsible for anything that happened. When I was pregnant, I was
at my worst state of mind. That is how little we have
conflict because I remember an eye roll. I want to remember where that was. I, it was out. I don't remember it. we were at Elks lodge and I go to the Elks lodge and I was pregnant. I think it was 4th of July where you were
pregnant during that. Oh yeah. Oh, that was, Oh, that
was the first trimester. Yes. That's a scary person. Yes. And we, I feel like it was Jessica. You and I had just done a muck bang. Okay. That was the sister muck bang. And I said something about it. And you rolled your eyes and looked at Jessica and you're like
stole that and walked away. And I looked at Jessica,
I said, stole that. I stole the idea of the muck bag. And I looked at you like, as
if I him, like, what was that? She goes, I genuinely don't know. We literally do not remember
me just going to Andrew. We're all just like what? And Andrew was just like pregnancy. I do not remember that. I'm so sorry, because I can't
even imagine a world in which because the only time I could think of like a muck bang idea
being stolen is when I accidentally spill it because
you were going to do one with Jacob and I was on good Dunkin and I was doing one of the
Flynn and you texted me you text us or something
and say, you're doing it. I was like, hi. And mine went up for, for hers. But hers, she filmed before mine. And then it looks like I
had stolen her an iPad. That's the only stealing of
a MacBook I could think of. And I was in a panic about it. So it was fun. I probably didn't even say that. No, we all hurt you. I'm sorry. I can not be held responsible. I wasn't mad. I was just confused. I was just very rude,
but I don't remember it. And I was a disaster. Then you were a disaster. I'm not blaming my mental
state or my pregnancy on it. I take responsibility. And I'm saying, I'm sorry,
what had happened now? You're a different human being. I was, I was not happy, but there you go. I go to stuff every once in a while. Yeah. There's been a few
times where like, I need help. Yeah. And so I'll go and help. But it was just like the,
every, it was, I feel like we were gone two to
three weeks out of each month. Oh yeah. I heard a lot back then. Did you find some crayons? Oh wow. There's lots of colors in there. Come here, baby. Oh my goodness. That is amazing. Oh, you smell them. How is it? Yeah. And you're not going to know because you spit them
out before member Flynn. You can't have any you can't have any because
you spit them out now. It was a no. No. So you don't get any more. Okay. Distracted. Yeah. That's being two year old. So I'm glad you brought me these crowns. Thank you for the crowns. You got these from my
brother for his birthday. Oh, thank you. Yes. This is, you always find this. Even though I hide it every
day, this is for my mother. He thinks that this is candy
because he remembers Easter. We would put candy inside of
Easter eggs and he'd shake it. Yeah. That is mamas. And he'd hear that. And he knew it was an
Eminem inside of an, a this is not an Eminem and an egg. What is, this is, I can't tell you because my mom might watch this, but it's it's something small in a small box. And he shakes everyday and goes, do do. And he wants me to open it. Flynn, say down here, buddy, let me baby. There is something in this carpet. What do you mean something in the carpet? What? Okay. Princess in the pea. What even is that? And how did you feel that
underneath a thick log is that I don't want to know what that is. Oh, that's hilarious. That's so funny. What an hour saying, bye. Bye. Thanks for hanging out with us as we eat you just,
yeah, you did toot on me. I felt that on my shoulder the bubble popped on my shoulder. You two did didn't you? Yeah, you two did. So. Thanks for watching
