Which video would you say is the first one that popped off where you thought, "I'm onto something"?
15:29
The first one that popped off, absolutely, was If The Queen Died In The South.
15:33
I, I did reels for nine solid months, and I did not grow at all.
15:40
And, but the thing I tell people, but reels that I did within that time that I reposted later did really well.
15:49
I just hadn't gotten an audience yet.
15:51
So I'm like, just because it's not doing well, it's okay, like you just don't have an audience.
15:55
Um, but If The Queen Died In The South, I did that like 30 seconds before I had to be at a, at a, at a meeting.
19:56
And I'm sure there are m- many times where a video doesn't hit or someone writes something nasty and it would be easy to give up, but there has to be that belief, like, "I'm onto something."

[laughs]
28:46
My, my son just recently realized, he once said, "It's so nice how Dylan always comes to check on Mimi." That's my nephew.
28:55
And I said, "Well, Mimi is his grandmother." And he goes, "What? What?" And I was like, "Yeah." And then his, you know, that's, Mimi has other grandkids, and he's like, "She does not." Because we don't live in Ripley.
29:14
We just, you know, we come visit.
29:15
And so he was like, "Who else?" And I was like, "Well, his sister Allie.
29:20
Allie's his sister." You know, like, 'cause boys are just so oblivious.
31:43
[laughs]

It's just a power that you control.
