But we had to smuggle the puppies in. Oh my gosh. All sorts of drama behind the scenes. Not as cringey as I thought it was going to be. There's some stuff. Yes, we're back. Hey, I'm Freddy. I'm Mike. And we are going to react to some of our most viral BuzzFeed videos. I have no idea what's in store. Me neither. I was like kind of nervous coming like, "Oh, we don't know what to expect." I haven't been back to BuzzFeed in so long. I think at the very least it'll be a nice trip down memory lane. I do foresee myself feeling cringey at points.

We were different people back then. Different people. We've grown. Our skin has cleared up. You know, honestly, and I hate to toot our own horn, but uh beep. We were here during I truly feel like the golden era of BuzzFeed. An amazing time to be young and dumb and creating content together. Should we jump in? Let's do it. Oh my gosh. Now you talking about OG. This was when I was making these food series videos with Steven Limb and Colin and I was the only girl. We were traveling around LA eating food, judging it. Honestly, it was really fun. It takes me back to a nice place.

Like you simultaneously look the same and also so young. I really I do play a little game of taco truck telephone. Taco telephone. So, we want to find the best tacos. And what better way to do that than to go to a taco truck and at that taco vending establishment, we are going to ask them what they think is the best taco truck and go to that taco truck and ask them what their favorite taco truck is. And then we're going to just keep hopping around until we find the absolute finest taco in the county of Los Angeles. And we're also going to eat some tacos, judging for oursel who has the best tacos.

Look at us. What a great concept. The telephone aspect of it, I feel like it brought the taco community together to just like shout out their favorite taco trucks or taco establishments. It's a perfect video for LA. So, this was pre-ladylike. This was my first big series that I was a part of at BuzzFeed. This was before I got hired full-time. I was very, very honored to be on this team. It was honestly some of the best of the best and I learned so much from them. I got to just like do my thing and they let me shine and they let my personality just kind of like do what it do and I feel like I was very much championed on this team which I think is

another reason why I was like wow this feels like a place that I would want to work for. What a good warm-up for ladylike later on. Yes, this was a great warm-up for ladylike. But it was cool kind of just like getting a taste of just like figuring out a series a repeatable series that was going to get the internet excited and get the internet talking and we got to eat great food all day. Part of what made BuzzFeed so memorable and fun is we were just eating real good the whole time. Real good. Oh my god.

Um, so I So this is the Try Guys Try boob contouring. It has 23 million views, which I've had not been checking on it. I didn't know that it had that many views, but um I don't think I've ever seen this video. Well, you're in for Should I buckle up? A treat. Today I'm going to learn how to create boobs out of nothing. Two-dimensional boobs. Kylie Jenner did it and something happened. It's kind of artistic. Drag queens do it. I'm actually kind of excited. They told me I had to be hairless for this, so we brought in an aesthetician.

We actually didn't have enough money to do the full session, so we waxed part of my chest. The perfect V that he has there. This is the only Try Guys video that I ever produced. There were conversations going around about how celebrities on the red carpet contour their cleavage so that things just pop a little more. This was an opportunity for me to come in as an outside producer and try my hand at it. I think I'm a warm beige. There you go. US Census. I was never yellow. I'm beige. I didn't ask if I was allowed to rub makeup on my freshly waxed body. And I have a feeling the answer is absolutely not.

Oh Spilling everywhere. Does it look any different at all? Looks good. It's covering up all the little bloody pores. First of all, it's the Zach of it all for me and his freshly waxed cleavage. Yeah, Zach and I have similar chests because we're both Jewish. I mean, he's like screaming loud in that little bit. Maybe there wasn't enough budget to finish. I was trying every format possible. One of the things I loved most was like gender role reversal, recreating commercials kind of things that I did a lot with Caitlyn. anything having to do with like what are women's roles, what are men's roles felt very like

subversive and new and like groundbreaking. And now I think we have a little more of an understanding like nuance. I pitched it to them. They were enthusiastic about it. Part of the appeal of this is seeing how poorly they do with doing it. And then we're like, "Oh, this is what it could look like. Who knows if I would make it now?" Um, but I made it back then. This is the sort of unscripted video that helped me hone my skills before ladylike. Did you expect it to go viral? Like we were set up for success. We had the try guys. We had boobs. But it was still early. This was like early on. That's crazy.

Yeah. It's like it looks so real. Yeah. I'm like doing a double take. I'm like, "Wow, Lily." Okay. Convincing work. Yeah. Sometimes you make a video and you're like, "This will perform well." Yeah. And I guess it did. Should we do the next one? Yeah. Oh my gosh. Teen style adult women for a week. This one was so fun. I loved this video. Okay, so let's set the stage. The teens had a very specific aesthetic at the time that were different from adult women, and I think that we really wanted to like lean into that and kind of see how they would dress us, not only as adult women, but like for our body types and like what they thought was cool. And so this was something that I thought was really fun.

Let's dive in. It's ladylike, and we're letting teens dress us for a week. My style, I think, is more mom meets sorority girlfriend. I wear a lot of sneakers. I don't really venture into like heels or booties too much unless I have to. Some days I feel like I'm super edgy. Kind of like cool, hip, lesbian. When I was a teen, I was wearing a lot of bright colors. I would wear hats from time to time. Representing the teens. Oh, she was so cute and sweet, too. This was when high-waisted was everything. Oh, we're lowrise now.

We're lowrise now. I'm high-waisted cuz I have a little baby food. We are millennials who like to dress our age. We do. I think we were still doing skinny jeans then. I mean, I'm still doing skinny jeans. Okay. You're still doing I You can take the skinny jeans from my cold dead body. I want to show off my butt. Fair. And you should. I have legs. As you should. I have a body. Is it going to be cool enough? Is it really what the teen Okay, so this first little outfit she put me in is cute.

I love the choker. Yeah, lots of chokers. This was definitely of the time. So, I'm actually a lot more comfortable in the outfit that I'm wearing today. The jeans are so tight. Mike, these are jeans I would wear. They are. I don't know if this would have passed the dress code of my high school. Oh, probably not. We had an assistant principal named Mrs. Wagner and she said in her Rhode Island accent, uh, the Rhode Island accent is she's describing the dress code and she said, "Ladies, you got to cover up your treasure chests."

Okay. It opened my eyes to the fact that I'm not as teen hip as I thought I was. I think on my next actual shopping trip, I'm going to bring Liz so she can guide me in the right direction. It's really nice to see actually like with Jen, myself, and Candace. It's like, oh, I feel like I know myself. For me, it's a high-waisted pant right now. I'll be circling back to the lowrise at some point. On your own time. Yes. Next one. Ah, okay. Okay, so this is when Devon entered the chat. This was the very first Ladylike video that I worked on. I was brought on to Ladylike as like offscreen producer helping things out. The five of you were expected to do everything. Produce,

shoot, edit, everything. And be on camera, which is not sustainable. Yeah. And you were such a big help, Mike. I had the time of my life. Like I You fit right in. I'd known all of you for years beforehand, which was helpful. Devon had produced this video. We bought formal wear from Amazon. The point of this video was to buy formal wear and then wear it to the BuzzFeed holiday party. But it was like a little bit of a hectic shoot. We weren't sure where like all the footage was. And she was like, "Mike, can you make this into something?" And it's so funny because it's like at the time it's like, "Oh my gosh, we bought formal wear from Amazon. Can you believe it?"

Shocking. Now, can you believe it? Now it's like um oh you don't buy your former lawyer from you know I think there's a little more conversation these days about fast fashion and like the ethics of a company and such. So again nuance in the year of our lord 2026 different than nuance in 2018. Uhhuh. What I'm going to do is I'm just going to get a size small. Hopefully it fits. If not I'm going to get it tailored. Let's see if Amazon can deliver. So dumb. I love it. It's so funny because even in comparison to the first couple of videos we watched, the general production of this video is more polished. But then I also think that like as human beings, we're a lot more polished.

Yeah. Comparatively, it's really hard to be on camera. When we started at BuzzFeed, we didn't know how to be engaging on camera. No, you learn how to be a slightly exaggerated version of yourself. Yeah. You know how to talk in sound bites. Some people had more success with this video than other. Devon got this like skimpy bandage dress. It is. Yes. Oh my gosh. I forgot all about bandage dresses. Yeah. So of the time. She's rocking it. She is. It looks really good on her.

Okay, let's look at your outfit for a minute. Yeah, cuz I don't even remember what I wore. Extra small, but they didn't have an extra small, so I ordered a small. Lo and behold, it fit me perfectly. It actually is very I also got a bandage dress. Okay, you look stunning. This was cute. Mermaid bodycon strapless kneelength bandage club party dress. Wow, this is tight. Look at me. Your booty's popping. What is wrong with me? Do I love whatever's wrong with me in these videos? Probably. I love it. We all love it. This was less successful for Sweet Shantel. She got this like banana yellow dress. When I sit, it goes into my neck.

Fun. So, that's a good thing. It's like super transparent. That's what it looks like on me. It's like I've never worn a jumpsuit that's so tight and spandex and sheer and yellow and bright yellow for you. When I put it on, I just looked like one of those little like inflatable men that flies around a car. This cracks me up every time. I think I might have added that little I was going to say, did you edit this yourself? I edited this one myself. Yes, you did your thing. And Devon was so sweet. She gave me a piece of dental floss and a pocket full of dreams and I strung it into a video. This was my first successful ladylike video. I have like

fond memories of this. It gives the girlies everything they want. It's like you try on clothing. You're like, "Oh, unboxing reveal." And it's like, and you get to wear it to something fancy, which just feels really nice. So, I forgot all about this. This looks nice. Devon shot it. It looks gorgeous. So, I can't take the credit for that part, but I can take the credit for editing. Okay, this one is one of my favorite. Okay, at this point it was a million views. You got like recognized and you got like a little button and I think this was my first button that I ever got at BuzzFeed.

I remember this was like I think the first ladylike video where I was like, "Oh, I'm paying attention to this." Like, it's prom season and we decided to see how out of touch we really are. It's been five plus years since our big night. Did our prom dresses suck? It's ladylike and we're trying on our old prom dresses. Yeah, we're old as I look like a child. You do. Is a night for everyone to get all dressed up and fancy. The height of heterosexual high school. It's like the last time you can have a really good time with all your friends without drinking a whole lot.

Afterwards is when the fun happens. It's a really exciting time. It's like it's the end of an era and there's all this pressure that like everyone's going to like lose their virginity on this night, you know, but that never happens. I remember the food the most. I remember that I was wearing matching eyes shadow to my dress, which I now regret. My mom doesn't think my dress will fit still. I think it'll fit. Terry, she I don't know if it's going to fit, girl. So, what I loved about this was being able to have all of us kind of connect back to our parents and be like, "Hey, can you send me my prom dress?" Kind of

just seeing like, "Okay, I haven't seen this dress in so long. Like, let's see if it's even going to work." You know, people just keep their prom dresses. Yeah, I actually still love my prom dresses. It's probably something that I'm going to keep and I would love to like pass on to my daughter. She may not wear it. It's probably going to not be of the time. She could get it like little tailored here and there. Yeah, get it judged. Let's see the outfit reveals. Here we are. I feel like one bad movement away from just boob exposure.

I feel good. I feel like nothing's changed except for my boyfriend. I do like this dress, actually. I feel pretty good. I feel moldable. I feel like I can dress mermaid. This dress makes me feel old and young at the same time. Last time I wore this, I was straight. The quotes is crazy. that we need to do. I think I ground like I think I ground. Yeah. Everyone was a champ about this. I mean, I know I don't think Jen was probably excited to wear a dress.

Yeah. I don't think she was thrilled, but she like everyone was a good sport for sure. I'm hoping that my boobs have just grown since then and I wasn't being grown at 17. This dress was like a little bit low cut and so my mom lovingly sewed in this little piece of lace so that I wouldn't be showing my cleavage to the world at prom. I'm going to be that prom mom who will probably hold the pregame at my house. Have all the cheese, all the crackers. Would you still do that? I would. Ain't nothing changed BUT MY LAST NAME. I WAS NOT expecting to hear a line from you from 10 years ago where you're like, "When I'm a mom, I know. Look at you now. Oh my gosh.

You've been an eight-month old daughter." Yes. Full circle. And I will absolutely be hosting the pregame. And we say pregame for prom, but what do they call them? Sendoffs. Was there pressure amongst your cohort to lose virginity? Because all my friends were marching band geeks and not the sexually active kind. So, I don't know if there was pressure, but it was almost like an expected thing. What I will tell you is that we did get hotel rooms after prom. So, oh my gosh. And every everyone was doing it. So, you know, it was like, okay, Virginia, you do what you will in this hotel room after prom. Honestly, I can't believe my parents let me.

This is a different time. 2008, the dark ages. We just had a sleepover at my friend's house. Like a very wholesome sleepover. I love that. Very wholesome. That's right in line with what I would probably be telling my daughter to do. Wow. The empty suitcase pilot. Okay. Yes. Let's get into this. When standardsized people go shopping for clothes at the mall, they have a ton of options. But I'm not standard. So, when I go shopping for clothes at the mall, my options look a little bit more like this. Luckily, because I'm a

smaller plus-size, if I plan pretty far in advance, I can shop online. But what if I didn't have time to plan? What if I went on a trip to an amazing and fabulous location and I accidentally lost my suitcase? No. So, I wanted to see just how resourceful I can be. And I'm going to travel to a cool city that I've never shopped in before. And I'm not going to bring any clothes, but I am going to bring Jen because she's fun. Mike, first of all, genius concept. I love that Kristen leaned into this as like a series that she wanted to explore. I thought it was a really, really great concept. You were her producer for this series. So, this was the love child of Kristen

and me. We had our New Orleans trip that Devon produced. We all had a great time in New Orleans, and we were like, how can we be Joanne the Scammer and figure out a way to travel for work and make videos for it? So, we're like, okay, we love travel. What goes viral? clothing, make them kiss. Yeah, we were encouraged to not spend very much money, which is why we went to Phoenix, Arizona, and we went in summer and I still had a great time. I've never been. The camera was melting a little, but I had one of the best meals of my life in my whole career at BuzzFeed. I think Empty Suitcase Show was my peak. I just I was so proud.

Oh my god. So, this is me pre-hair transplant. This was right before the forehead's like even farther back than it is now. Wow. Oh, I totally forgot. You did it for a video. I did it for a ladylike video. Yes, I did. And then I got a second hair transplant a few years later. Oh, yeah. I was like, why not? Can you take my tampies? I can take your tampies. Okay, thanks. My pads I'm going to stick in my butthole. Sorry, that's just laying for backpack.

What was Jen on? I'm not just saying that like for this video. Like, I genuinely don't know if we're going to find anything. Kristen really committed to the bit. She truly did not bring any other outfits than the one that she brought. And people are like, "But like no one's going to know." And she's like, "I'll So, there was no way to really know what sort of option she would find there. And all of these allegedly had plus-siz clothes. The only place that did not have plus-siz clothes was the place we went in Edinburgh, which I was the very final thing that we shot. Um, but she made it work anyway.

It was just a little pivot on the go. We brought in a lovely woman named Nicole who is sort of a local Phoenix plus-size influencer for this to be like Kristen's guide for it. She was super sweet. Um she researched kind of like independently owned stores because it's not that exciting if you just go to a Target in Phoenix. Like that's like not the point. So much research went into these videos making calls, sending emails. flag when we filmed the episodes in Europe that meant that she was up all hours of the night corresponding with places in London and Greece and such just to try to get prompt answers. Um, and she's discussed how that was not sustainable

for her. The activities that we did for this, we did a pool day. Amazing pool outfit vividly. So, we're just splashing around in the pool. This is her nighttime outfit. So good. The shell purse, the flower in the hair. Most of the production of these videos is just me taking like hundreds of photos of Kristen. I got very good at taking photos of women during my tenure in ladylike. So this particular pilot it was just you, Jen, and Kristen.

Me, Jen, Kristen, and Caitlyn. Uh Erica Schmeck was also a vital part. We all shared hotel rooms for this, which was fine. I mean, like Caitlyn and I are best friends, so it was fine. The dinner we went to was a place called Kai Restaurant. We were there for 6 hours filming, and it was the best. I mean, they pulled out all the stops for us, but it was the best food I'd like ever had in my life. Look at the sunset that we saw. Like, look at that sunset. Beautiful. Yeah. So, I think I fell in love with Arizona a little bit at this point. Iconic. Exactly. Next video. This is all you, baby.

Yes. H. Oh my gosh, this video is so old. 17 million views. This was the first of a few oneoffs where I tried like expensive self-care. And you were a good fit for it because you like nice things. I love nice things. I still love nice Never change. Never change, babe. So, it was me, Chrissy, and Lindsay Webster. Oh my gosh, I miss Chrissy so much. What a lovely team to be working with for this type of video. I mean, amazing producers. honed in on beauty and experiences and just like cool girl They're so and they're so kind and funny and a delight to work with. I was very much looking forward to this day. Not only because I was getting a $60,000 manicure.

Oh, but because I was working with some really great girlies for this. Y'all know Buzzfeed like likes to try expensive We just you trying expensive Buzzfeed. Wait, I love this montage. nail salon in Irvine. So, they're going to be shutting down the entire salon just for me, but I'll probably be like a little lonely. Hey. Yeah. Are you busy? Uh, not really. Wow. Oh my god. Curly. Where are we going? So, we're going to Irvine, California. And I'm getting a $50,000 manicure.

Why is it $50,000? So, I think a jeweler comes in and you choose like what gems, jewels or diamonds you want and like whatever you choose that's how much the manicure is. Can you actually tell the difference between a diamond and a not diamond? Absolutely not. Can you still not tell the difference between diamonds and not diamonds? We're not going to tell my husband that. Okay. Between us. I love that this was a little buddy show with you and Curly. Yes, it was such a good buddy show between me and Curly. And I'm like forgetting how well we bounce off of each other.

Just like one of the best humans for sure in the universe. The slow-mo for this. So good. Your little champagne. Everything's gold leaf. Very gilded age. Truly. Oh, I forgot I got a pedicure, too. Oh, I got all the things. Double to triple. Oh my god. What is this day? First Freddy will actually get a consultation with the jeweler. The package range from 10,000 and up. The reason why it's up because depending on the diamond that they choose and how many diamond they select to put on their hands. So the sky is the limit your face.

These right here are around $150 a piece. Each little Yes. It's so tiny. I feel like I could sneeze or just breathe a little heavier. This one right here. I think Lindsay shot this. It is so beautifully shot. She's so talented. So good. I remember watching this and I almost got chills. I was like, "This is so delicious." Yes, delicious. Oh my god, the Okay, the gold is so pretty. The gold leaf on my toes. Wow. Okay, it's just like the extreme close-ups of my toes in this video.

Free feet. You guys are getting this for free. There is very little that we hid from the world. I think it was just all laid bare. Do you guys get some ugly feet coming in here sometimes? Are you like I love him. So, the nails lasted like a standard two and a half weeks, but you know, as you can see in the video, I had to give the diamond back. That must have been hard to swallow. It was difficult for me. I thought it was great for um being able to do it for free and get this experience for sure. Oh, and this is my friend D.

We love D. What's she doing there? I think I like just called her to be like, "Come on, girl." She looks like she's like, "Am I supposed to be ready?" Oh. Oh, you look at you. And I had a little final look outfit change. Was that your outfit or did they provide that? I brought that. It's gorgeous. Thank you. $60,000 total. To be fair, they comped. Yeah, that was it. It was showing what it would be if civilians were to pay for it and to keep the diamonds.

We stopped at Taco Bell afterwards. That's on brand for me. A girl has her needs. Yeah. This was not a ladylike video. BTS plays with puppies while answering fan questions. This was all you, baby. This Yes. So, while I wasn't busy making ladylike videos, I also did some occasional stints with the Celeb Channel. I had the time of my life doing that, too. I took off with Emma Watson playing with kittens. Uh, which not to toot my own horn, but beep. That was you. It was. And it kind of reinvigorated the celeb channel. It like really got the whole trend going of playing with puppies and kittens more so. So BTS was a big deal then, but nowhere close to what they became.

I don't think that I was hip during this time. Yeah, I certainly was not. I had never heard of them before. Um, look how cute they are. Come on. Oh yeah. Heart attack. So, this is an absolutely adorable video. Christian Zamora helped produce this. Evan was the one who edited it because he speaks Korean and I do not. When I found out about this video, I was like, "Oh, I need some help." And there were a few people we worked with who were gigantic BTS fans, Sheila and Amal. So, I was like, "Oh, okay.

Hey girls, like want to come on, want to come join on set?" And they were like, "Thank you so much." So, this was filmed at the Intercontinental Hotel in downtown LA. There was a slight hiccup with this video because as we learned getting there, animals are not allowed in the hotel. We realized we're not allowed to bring puppies in. So, we had to smuggle the puppies in. So, BTS was fine with the puppies. BTS's management was fine with the puppies. It was just the hotel policy. And we're like, "What? They don't know won't hurt them." So, that is crazy. How many puppies? At least four that I see in this current shot.

Smuggling in four puppies. Wow. So, they're in a little puppy carrier and you know how puppies are. You have a little puppy of your own. They can be vocal. They can be mouthy. We were like, "Puppies? Sh." Put a little blanket over it, carried it in. Like, don't say a word. They didn't say a word. They were very well behaved. We got the puppies in. I kind of wish I could go back in time and just appreciate it even more. Especially now that I know who they are and I love their music more. Yeah. Give us a tea, Mike. The new albums that we needed.

I know. Yeah. Oh my god. I mean, between us girlies, occasionally I'll just make a real talking about this because it gets like a ton of views cuz the BTS army finds me. They were unbelievably sweet, so adorable. They were having the time of their lives and it really shows through on camera. At one point, a puppy's peeing. They're great about it, but there was like all sorts of drama behind the scenes about even where the hotel would be. Like, if I remember correctly, they were supposed to be at another hotel. They took a selfie on the rooftop and then someone in their fan base figured out which hotel it was based on that. So then security had to like scramble and maybe they went to a

different hotel. The Army is a very impressive group of fans and I never want to get on their wrong side. I love you Army. Yeah. I mean it was thrilling to watch this video go live and go viral. Like there is that dopamine rush that we experienced back in the day refreshing the YouTube page watching the views go up and up. This video got 3 million views in one day and me and everyone else who was involved in it like toasted to it. This was still the most successful video on the BuzzFeed Celeb channel.

Wow. Talk your Mike. And the second place video is Emma Watson. Look at you. Wow. It's up to 50 million views now. I'm going to keep talking about this so I stay relevant. My like 10 minutes with them I'm going to milk for the rest of my life. All right, so the last one. Women go bald for a day. I produced this video. I picked myself and Shantel mostly because we both at the time had very strong relationships and attachments to our hair. I was like, well, what better way to kind of lean into the idea of going bald for a day than with two women who feel like a lot of um attachment to our hair, a lot of our value was like attached to our hair.

Becky Harris is in this talking about hair loss as well. Yes. And then we had Jasmine who was bald by choice. Yeah. So, sort of like the bald consultants. Yeah, we had bald consultants. We got special effects bald caps applied to us in the morning and then kind of lived the rest of the day as, you know, women with no hair. Yes. So, circling back to Lily from the boob contouring video, she made the Try Guys's breasts look phenomenal. She applied our bald caps and it was my first time ever getting like special effects anything before. So Shantel and I both have a lot of hair.

Yes. Hers is long and thick and then mine was shorter but like thicker than Shantel. So I thought that was also going to be like a great before and after. You know the thumbnails, the before and after thumbnails, everything. You know, here's the makeup team. I would love to sit here and say, "Yeah, I think I could be confident without my hair." I was really nervous about this video. I know that leading up to it with just like the pre-production and stuff, I was like, I really want to make sure that I am crossing all of my tees and dotting all of my eyes. And I even think I spoke to Becky about it before of just like, what do you think are aspects of this video that I need to make sure that I highlight? What are

things to stay away from? Like I really wanted to make sure that I was going to be as like, you know, thoughtful and cognizant. I didn't want it to just be us making fun of ourselves bald. Like that was not the goal at all. Yeah. How zany is it that we're bald? Isn't this crazy? Exactly. So, this past Halloween, my husband and I and my daughter were cone heads. The photos are incredible. Everybody look at Freddy's Instagram and look at them. Yes. And the woman who applied our bald caps is friends with Lily. Oh, so funny.

The bald cap community knows each other well. They do. I wore an outfit that I really, really like, which was a cheetah crop top. overalls and my Adidas. Normally when I wear that, I'll get remarks like, "Oh, you look like this Grecian goddess." When I had my bald cap on, people were saying that I looked like I should be meditating. One of our challenges during this was to not only walk around the office with our ball caps, but we had to like go somewhere. So, we went to In-N-Out, but it just so happened to be around school letout time. I don't think that I would

have been shy just in general, but y'all we all know teens like to talk. Like teens be mean. And so I was like, "Oh, I don't know what they're gonna say, what they're gonna think." And we ended up taking some photos with some of the teens who like recognized us from BuzzFeed videos, which is cool. And honestly, no one really said anything about our ball caps. I think a lot of them probably assumed it was for a video. It's Hollywood, too. Like nothing shocks us anymore in Hollywood. Oh, and the ball caps coming off. The ball cap removal felt LIKE SEX. It was a lot. It was also like a little hot and steamy under there as well. So like ecosystem being created.

Something could have been growing under there. I don't know. I mean, move over taking your bra off at the end of the day. Take off the ball. Try taking off a ball cap. It's like gross and satisfying to see that coming off. I'm like, "Oh, it's like skin. It's like skin shedding." You put a lot of work into this and it paid off. Thank you. Thank you so much. I really did. Like I was very invested in this video. That was actually more fun and not as cringey as I thought it was going to be. There's some stuff. Yes. But I

will say that like I think that we for the most part I feel like we did the best with the information and knowledge that we had in order to tackle all of these conversations. I have a lot of pride for the videos that we did together. We were doing our best. Um and the internet looked different a decade ago. the zeitgeist, the conversations, the way things were talked about, our understanding of identity has continued to evolve over time. I look back on videos I did back in the day and I'm like, I wouldn't do that now, but it made sense at the time. This feels like seeing old friends again. Of the nine years that I was at BuzzFeed, my time on

Ladylike was my highlight. I loved it so much. I loved working with you guys. Like, we were all work to the bone, but I was happy to be doing it with you guys. Yeah. I think that we all were still very passionate about the work and creating content that was going to make an impact. Some stuff didn't. I was so grateful to our audience. We had an amazing audience. So respectful, so invested in everybody. And I remember just kind of wanting to do right by them. Yes. Yay. This was so cute. Oh, it's so good hanging with you. This was so good. Highlight of my week. We should again in another 10 years.

Yeah. Bring us back. We'll watch more videos. If you want us to on old videos, we'll do that, too. You'll be watching this video. Oh my god. We will be. Inception too much.
