I have a cheat code. So my bird just keeps flying no matter what. There's this new game, it's called Zig Zag.
Oh my god. I'm I get nervous when someone tells me about something new. I'll have like an obsession for. Okay, so what is that one?
Let me show you. This is just for our enjoyment.
I'm getting anxiety about it.
See that? You got to like click and you gotta go through. Oh. Okay. Okay. I mean I'm talented. I can keep going. But I'll just end it for, you know, just for the viewers at home.
I think he just died. I think yeah. Game game over on that. See, but that's the problem. The the addictive ones are the ones that are just like so like mindless. Yeah. Not dumb, I guess, but they're like Okay. Just keep going. keep going. It's so easy to play. Yes. You started on Vine. Let's talk about that, like in the very beginning. Did you sort of start the whole comedy sketch thing?
Ah, I don't know.
I think you did. Oh wow. Well Cuz now everyone's doing like the scenarios and like I mean they're they're hysterical. If you haven't seen his vines, I mean they're they're insane. Yeah. Um well I I came from doing YouTube videos. Here's a map of the route you'll be taking today. Okay, all right. And I thought I'd get you a smoothie. Okay, all right. You're such a sweetheart, Margaret. How you doing this morning? I never asked you that. I'm doing pretty good. Huh? I'm doing pretty good. Huh, come again? I'm I'm doing pretty good. Oh, fabulous. Okay. Okay. Okay, all right. Oh, Okay. Everyone relax. It's just a bump, okay? All right. I was like, oh that's way too much money. Let's do six second videos. What's 9 + 10? 21. 21. 21. All y'all I'm out. All right, man. Take it easy. Let's tell stories in six seconds and that's what I started doing. Oh, let's put this on silent. What's that? Was that Was that Zig Zag or was that?
No, that was my mom. Clean your room.
Oh, what did what did mom say? She told me to clean my room. We'll get to that, mom. We'll get to that. Do you vine that like with would that be something you'd vine?
That would be a vine.
But you do everything. I mean, you've done TV, you comedy, movies and you're just now doing Resident Advisors which is college life. I mean it it's so real too. It's like everybody in college, they can relate to it. Yeah. So you went to Florida State?
I went to Florida State.
Which is a party school. Yes. And my RAs weren't as cool as the ones on this show. I that's what I'm trying to figure out like are RAs usually that cool because I had an RA when I was a freshman. I went to UT in Texas and he was like literally the creepiest person I've ever seen. I mean he would like lurk. He would just like lurk around and we were like like he would just pop up everywhere you were. And we were just like there. And we were like, uh.
Yeah, they're usually they're usually creepy. Some of them are nice.
Did you ever want to be an RA?
Well, the only reason I wanted to is because you get free you get to live for free. Yes. You know. Yes. Who doesn't want to live for free? Exactly. But then you have to babysit a whole floor of kids. Of drunk. Yeah. College kids. God, look at it. It's my new baby, which makes you the mother of my baby. I've been tasked with overseeing things here at Hutchinson. But it seems you've been an RA for quite some time. 11 years. There are those who may question whether or not it's appropriate. Well, if I worried about what was appropriate, I wouldn't be a very good RA, would I? If you have drugs, I will take them and I will take them. That is my right as an RA. Black Sam, like he's going to figure out anything else. Handsome Sam. Putting himself through school Sam. It's actually interesting cuz then you see the stories of what goes on. Yeah. And there are some stories. Is that I is that how you came up with it? You are an RA?
Shout out to my friend Natalia Anderson who's sitting over there. She actually She's the best. Are you going to come on? What? She shut Natalia needs to like come so right now. She is the queen. You know, I don't have my hair and makeup done. I'm probably looking real oily right now. Can I get some powder? Natalia's job is to actually to powder him too. But yeah, this is Elizabeth Banks's production company which does Pitch Perfect. So it's like you already know just by knowing it's her company that it's gonna be legit. And it's It's legit. It's great. It's hilarious. We had an amazing time filming it. All the jokes. It's just so funny. We had we had a couple of screenings and everybody was dying laughing. Like literally people dying and we had to call the ambulance. There's an episode about is it called sexile?
Sexile.
Sexile. Did that ever happen to you? Cuz I feel like every college freshman has probably they probably you have to explain what the term means.
Okay, so sexile is when your roommate is getting it on and the polite thing to do is wait outside till I finish getting it on.
I would usually just pretend I was sleeping. So my roommate would be getting it on on the bunk above and I would be sleeping down here. We're fake sleeping. I mean my face is like this. Gun. That's That's that was my face.
