I think it's just with life in general, just consistency is key. I mean, you just you got to find it, just happened organically that I just found a niche. You know, like it wasn't planned or anything, like everything happened unexpected. You know, in my world. But I I realized consistency is definitely key. You just can't quit. You got to keep going.
Speaker 3:Glad to have you. I'm Carter Semino, host of Acadiana Cast Presents. We have a very special guest today. You've probably seen some of her videos all over TikTok or Instagram. She is from Erath, Louisiana, and her name is Chastity Terrio, otherwise known as Lady in the Bathroom or TGE. How do you say that?
Speaker 1:I don't even know. I don't even know.
Speaker 3:How did that start? How would you say it? Tiga Tiga. Tigi, I don't know. It's almost like gibberish.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so I mean okay.
Speaker 3:It was a typo.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was a typo and you couldn't change it for 30 days, and so I had to keep it. I couldn't change it.
Speaker 3:Were you already just like growing followers.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and obviously people were. They're like yeah, it's spelled incorrectly. I'm like, yeah, I can't do anything about it, Like at the moment, like right now.
Speaker 3:Well, I definitely want to get into kind of how you got into the content world and whatnot and everything. But I want to start off with. You are one of the first people we you know past few years we've kind of had this whole cancel culture thing going on online but you one of the first people from south louisiana to get try to get canceled.
Speaker 1:And then the there was a backlash to the canceling so bizarre that was like my first like hit, I guess you can say, as far as a social media person and you're literally just making content in your bathroom. Having a good time, yeah you know, and I'd say it's, we're just like built different down here you know um. So yeah, it was crazy you know, and I'd say it's, we're just like built different down here, you know. So yeah, it was crazy you know obviously everything happened with the election.
Speaker 1:It was something that I posted on my story on Instagram and then they took that, brought it to TikTok, so it's like a big. I feel like it's like a big story because because there's so many parts to it. Okay, do you remember the girls trip that I went?
Speaker 3:on. I made content with other creators Okay, okay, I don't know if I kind of skimmed down the rabbit hole. I didn't really get too deep.
Speaker 1:Well, it was a little girls trip that we went on. It was a really good time. And then they brought it to that, like you know, that attention right there and they were asking, like the girls, that kind of thing which you know, they're obviously. You know, not for red, they're blue, which is fine.
Speaker 1:You know, whatever, everybody's entitled to their own opinion sure who gives a shit right that's how I'm like okay, so, um, so I reached out to the girls, or whatever, and then they were like you know, it's cool, whatever, but we don't want to make content with you anymore, which was insane to me. It's, it's crazy, because I was just like.
Speaker 1:I don't know if it was like the other way around, right, like everybody's welcome in my space. You know what I'm saying? I don't know it. It was like the other way around, right, like everybody's welcome in my space. You know what I'm saying? I don't know. It was just, it was really bizarre. But I accepted. I was like, okay, like you know, I understand, y'all want to, you know, stand by your side or whatever. So that was, that was a thing, okay. So then I started reposting some stuff and then one of the girls in the group she called me out on her tikt TikTok and then from there sparked like crazy thing, I'm culture vulture, um, uh, just all the things.
Speaker 1:I was just like culture vulture is hilarious okay, I didn't even know what that meant until, like it started, you know, blowing up and I was like bro, like y'all don't, it's crazy. I'm like, I'm like y'all, that's I don't know. It was just bizarre to me because it was just like. It's not even what it's about. Like music is music. Like there's no, like, no artist is like. This music is. You know, it's for people, it's for everybody.
Speaker 3:There was a lady who was going after you and someone one of the videos I saw is a guy like clapping back at, like all of her points yes, yes, and one of his points that I loved was just like you know I had so much support. Yeah, your cultural appropriation. We thought at first she was honoring our culture but actually she was profiting off of it or whatever. So bizarre. But the guy was like, what are you talking about?
Speaker 1:Like white people can't at the art, like there's artists that like even collabed here I mean Eminem's like a big one. You know what I'm saying Like it's big rap art, like it's just.
Speaker 3:Shoot all the rap artists now are getting in the country.
Speaker 1:That's what I'm saying. Like it's so crazy. It's right, yeah, it's crazy. They're still kind of you know. Now they have different creators trying to be in the bathroom too, which I mean it's cool. What, what's? What's the saying? Um, something is is the form of like the most um the best form of flattery, imitation or something. Yeah something like that, and I was like, yeah, somebody commented. I was like, yeah, somebody commented that. I was like, yeah, you right, that's right. Yeah, and I mean I'm not, you know, whatever, it's cool.
Speaker 3:You have a dancing background, yes, and you started making videos of you kind of dancing, and then it graduated to the bathroom and you lip syncing and doing all these quick cuts and edits which I think a lot of people just love.
Speaker 1:You know it's funny before. So I was never. I'm like I'm not a person that's always on my phone or anything like that. Like I never. When TikTok was a buzz, like I remember people saying like you should get the app whatever, whatever. And I was like, well, like I don't get on my phone, like I don't mess with it, and so before I even downloaded that app on snapchat I would actually make videos in the locker room doing like the similar, like thing, like same kind of thing.
Speaker 1:It was so weird and, um, like I just kind of like investigated, you know, and like my own stuff, and whenever I downloaded tiktok it was April 23rd, which is crazy because that's when my son was born. Oh, wow.
Speaker 1:Right, I was like okay, so like there's like I was prepping, I don't know. It's so weird, like how things just like happened the way it did. And then you know, you saw the ones that I danced just randomly. And then so what sparked the bathroom videos was skin care people. They just reached out to me just to send me some free stuff and then I was like you know, all right, let me put this with that. And then it blew up from there. It was crazy. It was whenever Lil Jon reposted me.
Speaker 3:Oh, wow, okay.
Speaker 1:It was Snappy Fingers and it was a good one. I'm proud of that one. It was crazy.
Speaker 3:Well, real quick, let's pull up a, let's see if we can find it. Where's the snap your fingers? One, oh yeah, let's see if we can find that one. Luke.
Speaker 1:Oh huh, oh, there it is Okay.
Speaker 3:yeah, go ahead and put.
Speaker 1:Oh, I had the blonde hair and everything.
Speaker 3:All right, go ahead.
Speaker 1:What's happening? That's the OG bathroom.
Speaker 3:That's a different bathroom.
Speaker 1:Yeah, what's happening? Hey, I should redo that one.
Speaker 3:Yeah, go to Atlanta and do it with them.
Speaker 1:Dude, that's what I want to do, man. I want to collab with artists.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 1:That's like my goal All right, you can shut that.
Speaker 3:Those who are listening. They're like what is going on in the background. And yeah, who knows if I'm going to get flagged for that. But okay, so you have that video and you want to do collabs? Yes, we'll get to that point. I want to kind of still go to the back, when you were posting on like what, like Snapchat and whatnot, like you've always kind of like enjoyed putting yourself out there performing, right, yeah.
Speaker 1:It was crazy because it was like and at the time we wore masks, so it was like it made me a little bit more comfortable as far as, like being out in the open because, you know, obviously in your bathroom nobody's around you know what I'm saying. So, like I don't know, it was weird, like I just started doing that randomly and I would post it on um, on snapchat, and it was honestly it was for my best friend and my sister and like that's kind of how. Like I started um doing my videos, I was like, oh, I'm just gonna send this, you know, to my girls.
Speaker 1:You know what I'm saying, and then like that's how I kind of like got I don't know, that's how I got comfortable making them you know just being me, because I'm like you know, they know who I am, you know what I'm saying. So that's how that happened.
Speaker 3:Okay. So what was it like after that first kind of video pops like did you ever have to like turn notifications off on on tiktok so it wouldn't drain your battery, or? What were you, what were you making it of? Like what is happening? Like?
Speaker 1:this silly video that I made is honestly like for the longest time, like I said, I was never really on my phone so like I would literally just post and get off my phone like and I wouldn't like, not meaning it, like in a in a way, but it was just like I just, in my nature, I just didn't engage with my, you know, with my stuff as much now I do right now I do.
Speaker 1:But um, now I just, I don't know, it's weird, it just kind of like filter stuff and then, like I can see comments, it's a lot, it can be a lot, it's it's always coming in, which is crazy, but it's all positive stuff what's it?
Speaker 3:what's what's it like? Uh, because I do all my editing in like a professional editing software. Uh, davinci Resolve is what it's called, but you're doing all your editing uh CapCut or in the app.
Speaker 1:TikTok TikTok in the app yep did you have to like learn how to learn at first it was like, okay, you know you could do like the three secondsecond timer, so I would scroll to where I wanted it to end and I would like do clip by clip and like rewatch it. And then finally I figured out how to do the clips that I want with the music, so I could just replay as I go, which is so much better.
Speaker 3:Well, what made you want to do that, rather than have a still shot on you the entire time, all these cuts and different positions and movements and whatnot.
Speaker 1:I just feel like it makes it more engaging.
Speaker 3:It definitely does.
Speaker 1:Yeah, cause if you, I feel like, if you, if you're stationary the whole time, I mean it's just like making a dance. You know, like if you're just stationary the whole time, I mean they're gonna be like okay, that looks good. If you know you have different dynamics and different things going in and out, it makes it, you know, more engaging, it makes it more entertaining, and that's kind of how it just I think it happened naturally because it's the dancer. It's like making a dance.
Speaker 3:you know, it's the dancer in me we need to take the podcast into like a vehicle and just drive.
Speaker 2:Just get stuck in traffic on Dude, that would be cool.
Speaker 3:Just get stuck in traffic on pinhook. So yeah, what would be your advice to any sort of person trying to get into content creation? What's like a hill that you've learned that you kind of die on and tell people?
Speaker 1:I think it's just with life in general, just consistency is key. I mean, you just you got to find it just happened organically that I just found a niche. You know, like it wasn't planned or anything, like everything happened unexpected in my world, but I I realized consistency is definitely key. You just can't quit. You got to keep going.
Speaker 1:Yeah, for sure that that's consistency is is especially that hit with all the negativity that I had, cause I was like there was two. That that's consistency is is especially that hit with all the negativity that I had, cause I was like there was two days that I was just like contemplating and like like.
Speaker 3:Is this worth it?
Speaker 1:Yeah, cause I was like what, oh my God.
Speaker 3:Is this going to spill over until, like my actual real life off the?
Speaker 1:internet Like it was, like it was a big hit for me, cause like I've always, you know, I've always had like positive you know, then this was like the first time that people were like literally attacking me and I was like oh my God, what do I do? And Daniel was a big support in that, and one of our friends too. I talked to him and he was, I mean, he was right. He was like do artists quit when you know, when things happen? No, they keep going, and no, they keep going. I'm like you right, you right. And then one of our friends he's like I was like so do I just keep going, like nothing happened. He's like absolutely, that's exactly what you do. And then that really helped me. I was like all right, yeah, I'm gonna do that and just kept going.
Speaker 3:So so tiktok's kind of like in the news right now. It we may or may not lose it. You're keeping an eye on that, obviously.
Speaker 1:Let's say in the event, but I'm I know that like, even if it does go away, they're gonna something's gonna be.
Speaker 3:You just put all your content on Instagram.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's gonna be a challenge because I use TikTok to edit my videos and I've I've even tried to use other platforms the same way I do with TikTok and editing, but it's not the same. So it does create a challenge for me, but I'll be able to figure it out.
Speaker 3:How many followers do you have on TikTok?
Speaker 1:Right now I have 2.1 million and actually I have two accounts. So I have a backup account.
Speaker 4:Why.
Speaker 1:It just helps me get in the algorithm more, you know, because I feel like with my one platform, I feel like a lot of people just didn't see my stuff for a while. I don't know if it was like a, I don't know, I don't know what it was Getting shadow banned. Yeah, and like I don't know if I just wasn't popping up on people's stuff, like for a reason, and so I just kind of created another one. So that way, way, you know, I could still get you know so you still see me.
Speaker 1:You post the same video on both no, it has to be separate, it has to be different, because tiktok will recognize that gotcha okay so it. But it helps because it's like, because I know there's like so many mock accounts, so many fake accounts, but um, is the other one.
Speaker 3:spelled the v correctly? Yes, the peace sign.
Speaker 1:That's me, but yeah, and that one's almost at 700. Right, okay.
Speaker 3:Which is crazy. So, yeah, you have this hit for the first time. Yeah, outside of that, like what are some of the other side of the spectrum, the positive comments Like what's that?
Speaker 1:like seeing someone be like hey, I've been going through a lot lately and your videos just help me put a smile on my face, my heart like it just it makes me feel like there's I'm doing this for a reason, there's a purpose of why as silly as it all is, yeah it's just it's.
Speaker 1:I think a message from me is just not take life so serious. And we all dance and sing in the bathroom, you know, or you know in the shower, or whatever, but I think I think that's why I'm here, you know and it's I'm trying to be. You know I'm the positive I've always have been, so it's cool to see.
Speaker 3:Is there a world in the near future where content creation is your full-time gig?
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's going to start next month.
Speaker 3:Really, yeah, okay, so this episode comes out next Friday, so in January you're going full on, full on. That's so exciting.
Speaker 1:So crazy. A lot has happened within I mean shoot, since I talked to Chris, because at the time I was still, you know, part-time. I just did part-time. It's been like four months.
Speaker 3:What were you?
Speaker 1:doing Dental assistant.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 1:Orthodontist assistant for Dr um Dr Corral. He works in Lafayette and then also in Karen Crow.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 1:So I've been with him over a year now, but I knew him from my first job, my first job. I stayed there for it was almost 10 years. Wow. And I knew I met him through there and then he's like, you know, it's just a smaller, it was just easier for me especially once I had my little boy. It was just, it was easier.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Well, I'm sure you've had the conversations with them.
Speaker 1:They had they know this, is this happening? They're probably super supportive. Yeah, he's been the most supportive boss I've ever had and I've told him that from day one. I'm like thank you so much for supporting me, cause I mean, you know it is. He has a business too right, you know, and most people probably think you know, like, don't do that, you know what I'm saying yeah, right, yeah, I don't want to hire someone else.
Speaker 1:Exactly so. It's nice to have that support from him and the team, from all of them. It's like a fam. It's really nice.
Speaker 3:So a couple videos I want to pull up. Pull up the Flex one, because you talked about collabs, and Cupid the line dance king.
Speaker 1:He was the first person that ever paid me.
Speaker 3:Paid you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he was my first person that I collabed with. I was like what's going on that? He started Flex. That was his new song.
Speaker 3:Right.
Speaker 1:And he's really good friends with my mom's best friend's son and uh, he reached out to me and we did a little dancing video and I didn't expect him to to give me anything, but he gave me my first, like little paycheck right, and I was so excited I was so was so pumped.
Speaker 3:How long does this take to shoot?
Speaker 1:About I don't know. I feel like maybe that took us like for both videos because we did two like two hours an hour per Okay. Now that I know what I'm kind of doing Before, it took me like two and a half almost three.
Speaker 3:Wow, all right, you're good on that, luke. He's so funny. I love it. There's so much you can do in like a tiny space. I talk about this a lot when it comes to creativity. Sometimes, like if you have an open-ended thing, it's harder to be creative, but if you put yourself in a little box, you create these little rules, you'd be surprised. Then you can be super creative and so like your box literally is your bathroom.
Speaker 1:Yeah, for real it really is, and the one before that. So I did so. Previous life, just you know, had a split from my ex and then I ended up moving on my parents. So that little bathroom is the bathroom that I grew up in.
Speaker 3:So it was very small, like the smallest little bathroom, and I made it work there and now I have a bigger one, man like the smallest little bathroom and I made it work there, and now I have a bigger one which is so it is.
Speaker 1:There's so much room for activity do they still have that house, huh.
Speaker 3:So so it's, it's a whenever. Whenever you keep blowing, I would get super famous. They should charge people to come tour, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:The original bathroom, yeah, the bathroom, they would love it. Yeah, they would love it.
Speaker 3:That's so funny you know, cupid obviously is a mainstay in the culture here in South Louisiana. Yes, I grew up doing the Cupid Shuffle, the Cupid Shuffle man, right.
Speaker 1:So cool. I just saw he posted I think it has 100 million streams now or something like that. I'm like wow, that's so cool.
Speaker 3:So how do you envision some of these future collabs happening? Are you going to them? Are they coming to you?
Speaker 1:Right now I'm trying to reach out to them. There's a few that are coming up. Actually, I'm excited about. I'm kind of keeping it a little secret. I'm not going to lie, Especially one because one's Tell me off air, huh, tell me off air.

Speaker 3:So this upcoming Mardi Gras, we're going to be following around John Weatherall while he's getting his video, helping him get hooked up and taken care of while he's out there shooting, helping him get hooked up and taken care of while he's out there shooting. Question is, are you going to be out there and is there going to be a Mr Weatherall collab with Lady in the Bathroom?
Speaker 1:I mean, I'm for it, I'm definitely about it. I didn't do Mardi Gras last year. It just kind of depends on like weather time.
Speaker 3:my little boy you know, but yeah, I'm definitely down to do –'m down. I always love mario go. It's always a good time. Yeah, I, I can only assume.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we've gone. I've been in the parades, like the scott parades whenever I was younger, um, but I haven't. I think I feel like the last oh, last year was it in february yeah, yeah, we were in march this year yeah, we were, were in Costa Rica so I just didn't make it. I mean not awful though. I'm okay with going to Costa Rica.
Speaker 3:And I remember when I was a kid we would go on vacations a lot. During Mardi Gras We'd go to Disney, and it was all Louisiana people at Disney.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, we didn't go to Disney, but we went camping. It was around that time, I think we went skiing a few times. Growing up we weren't party heart people. We know how to get down, we can get down, I can get down.
Speaker 3:Okay, controversial topic. Okay, whenever you are lip syncing these videos, you are somewhat missing.
Speaker 1:When a certain word is said I stay out of that.
Speaker 3:I've seen a lot of other TikTokers. When a song comes on, they'll just like I, get out of the frame.
Speaker 4:You're gone.
Speaker 1:I'm not even in it.
Speaker 3:I don't know it's crazy. The only reason I brought it up is because I've seen so many people like brought it up and comment on that like little aspect, like she doesn't even put herself on camera when the N-word is there.
Speaker 1:I know and the thing is is like I didn't even have like a thought process of that. I was just like I'm not even going to be in the camera, like it's just I have a drama-free life. Well, besides, you know election, whatever that happens.
Speaker 3:But other than that like.
Speaker 1:I don't. I ain't trying to get into that. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:Right, you're actively doing these things to not be canceled and be respectful, correct, yeah correct, exactly. See, that's why you don't worry about that bullshit. Yeah, because people will find something, no matter what. Yeah.
Speaker 1:They'll dig. Haters going to hate They'll dig.
Speaker 3:Oh, definitely you never saw yourself being in any sort of this type of world.
Speaker 1:I mean, it didn't even exist a few years ago? No, no, it literally happened.
Speaker 3:Are you going to do what the Hawk Tua girl did and make a fake crypto coin?
Speaker 1:Heck no, oh my God, I'm smarter than that. I don't even know. I heard about it the other day Like because I was talking. I was like, yeah, man, that girl's like she's killing it. You know she's making X amount of money. I was like this is wild and you know I'm still getting there.
Speaker 3:I'm in the you know I'm getting there.
Speaker 1:You're in the trenches. Yeah, I'm like I'm trying, I'm getting there, but, um, but, and then they're is yeah, I think she got some bad advice. Yeah, and I'm very good at reading people.
Speaker 3:Well, the good news is also your boyfriend, daniel Barus, is also a content creator and he knows the game.
Speaker 1:He's so smart.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he's super intelligent when it comes to content creation and that world, and so having him at your side, it's incredible. So do you guys bounce ideas off of each other?
Speaker 1:Yeah, so the recent one that we did, the Latin song that we did, he had some input in it. He's like what if we do this and this? And I was like, okay, I like that, but not at this part, let's do it at this part. Yeah, he's contributed and it's still fresh which is really cool and people love him.
Speaker 3:Yeah. He gets into it which is really cool and people love him. Yeah, he gets into it. Yeah, it's so. It's so much better to be creative. Sure, you have to have some individuality and do a lot of it yourself, but to have someone who's also creative to bounce ideas off of, it's so helpful and it's also like you know it's, I feel like it's more engaging.
Speaker 1:People love to have me now guest in the bathroom, like it's really cool and that's like accidentally sparked something else. You know what I'm saying. So, like that that made me think of like, oh, with Cupid right so I hold that dear to my heart because it's like there's, you know, there's meaning behind that one yeah like you.
Speaker 1:You saw me from the start. You know which is crazy, which I don't even think I was at a million yet, maybe I was. But like I remember him saying like Jess, I'm telling you you're gonna do good. And I'm like Cupid, I just I don't even think I was at a million yet Maybe I was. But like I remember him saying, like Jess, I'm telling you you're going to do good and I'm like, keep it. I just, I don't even know what I'm doing, I just started, I don't even know what's happening. And he was like telling you, man, and then like here we are now, and he was so, you know, create your stuff. So it was really cool to do that with him. And then, like you know him, you know, just do the experience with him. It was so cool.
Speaker 3:Yes, I'm trying to think. Cupid Shuffle came out in 2007. Seven. So what grade were you in in 2007?
Speaker 1:I don't know, I'm not good at math.
Speaker 3:What did you in in 2007? I don't know, I'm not good at math?
Speaker 1:When did you graduate high?
Speaker 3:school 12. Okay, same, so 7th grade oh okay 7th and 8th grade.
Speaker 1:Okay, yeah, we was getting our own dance flow at the school dances, so, okay, that was me.
Speaker 3:If you could talk to 8th grade chastity saying that, hey, you're going to be in basically a music video with Cupid, what would she say?
Speaker 1:I don't even know, because I've always grown up like I grew up really shy, I wasn't talkative, I've never dancing helped out obviously a lot with that. But I don't even know what I would say. I would be like girl, are you crazy? What? Like there ain't no way, because I just you know everything. I just didn't expect my life to be, you know, like this.
Speaker 3:You're definitely you're blazing your own trail. There is no blueprint for what you're doing, no, and every day is just figuring it out like okay, yeah, wow, people like that, yeah, it's so cool.
Speaker 1:I'm like all right, yeah, let's do this. Man, like I've I don't know. I've always gone with the flow and you know, I guess that's how I'm living my living life, like that now.
Speaker 3:We'll see how it goes come next month please don't take off tiktok I'm super excited to see how your content develops and other things that you do.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there's so many things in the works. That's like I'm getting things you know listed and stuff like that. I'm excited now.
Speaker 3:Now do you I mean you see on TikTok and some of these other real creation apps, people from South Louisiana doing South Louisiana shit blows up. I would say the majority of your viewers or followers probably aren't from Louisiana, correct Right? So like, do you feel like any obligation to positively highlight any little aspect of Louisiana?
Speaker 1:for your audience? Yeah, for sure. Yeah, if I can get more people like I still want to link up with kale, like I still want to do, you know, I think that would be a real, real hit as far as a creator goes. But yeah, that's, I want to do that. I want to not just like I love my louisiana people, but like even you know, I want to expand from that too. But yeah my.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's my, that's my people I would love to see you with juvenile oh dude, well, okay, so I went.
Speaker 1:This is whenever I first started, too. I went to bayou boogaloo okay in new orleans and um his agent reached out to me, so I actually do have that connection now. So I just need it. I just need to make things align you know, yeah, let's go. Like I said, me and Cupid, we've been talking about doing this collab for like ever you know, and then it just happened to align recently, which?
Speaker 3:is great and, like you said earlier, you've gotten quicker with the production of it, so it's less of a burden for them to come and be a part of it.
Speaker 1:It was always hard for me to set that, you know, like a date or whatever, because I had the job I have you know I have mom life, I have all the things. But now I'll be able to do it. Now I have a little bit more free time, so I'm hoping that like I can get things set up better now with more artists. I'm excited for that. I can't wait for my next one.
Speaker 3:Now, mom, life is a specific genre of content creation. Are you going to dabble into that? Are you going to stick to more? Just the dancing?
Speaker 1:singing. It's hard because it's like it's controversial as far as like Right, how much you want to put your kid out there on social media, especially if you had 2.2 million followers. And's. You know it's a scary world out there so um, he's appeared in one of my videos, I think, but I kind of, like you know, I'll kind of block him a little bit.
Speaker 3:We have like photos like daniel puts on his page, which I'm okay with, but, um, yeah, that's definitely that's something you probably had to think a lot about and probably still do that balance of like putting your child out there On there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'll do it a little bit, but it's not something that I'm going to like promote.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, for sure, that's probably the smart move.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I want to. You know I got to protect them.
Speaker 3:Yeah, absolutely. You know, mama bear. Okay, so you've got some collabs that you'll tell me off air that are coming up, but list off a couple more, some of your dream collabs.
Speaker 1:Dream collabs. Lil Wayne definitely is one that I really want to do. The one that I'm gonna tell you off air is another one that I'm really excited about. I don't know, I'm interested in whoever's interested. You know, like I don't really have like specifics. I have, like you know, my biggest one is definitely like or Lil Jon, lil Jon, lil Wayne. Like that's my thing Like, and even in dancing.
Speaker 3:The music you listen to in high school.
Speaker 1:Exactly. And you know what's funny is? I said this with I talked to Chris about it, but like, even in dancing, like people always told me, like hip hop was always like my thing. Hip hop has always been my thing, and they're like your facial expressions. It's like engage, you know, and like watch you and I'm like it's so funny how like.
Speaker 3:Yeah, your face is wild.
Speaker 1:Yeah. I mean, I can make some faces dude.
Speaker 3:It's crazy, or okay, you're like Jim Carrey, like you could like contort your face, yeah it's true and like even.
Speaker 1:But. So the dance studio that I went to too, it was very theatrical, it helped, you know, in a sense, and even shoot, I lost my train of thought. But shoot, what was I going to say? My facial expressions, I don't know. I lost it, dang it.
Speaker 3:I lost it too, dang it.
Speaker 1:Mid sentence. Podcasting. This happens, yeah, this happens all the time though It'll come back to me.
Speaker 3:Okay, just give me a second. One Mississippi back to me. Okay, just give me a second one, mississippi, I'll bring it up again. Um so, how many?
Speaker 1:times have you? Oh, I remember, okay, go ahead, okay. Another thing, because, like, we're talking about lip syncing, so in dancing you you're not supposed to really lip sync, you're supposed to make the facial expressions, and I would always get in trouble for singing and mimicking the lyrics all the time. So I almost kind of like prepped myself for that too, in a weird way.
Speaker 3:Okay, so, weird.
Speaker 1:Yeah. I would be the one, like you know, and they're like Chastity. No, stop doing that.
Speaker 3:So were you a cheerleader or did you do no?
Speaker 1:I just did dance.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 1:I was just a dancer. I started at eight.
Speaker 3:Wow.
Speaker 1:Eight. No, I just did dance. Okay, I was just a dancer.
Speaker 3:I started at eight. Wow, eight years old, mm-hmm. Is there anyone specific that you want to shout out, who, as far as an influence when it comes to dancing, or a teacher or a coach?
Speaker 1:Oh man, all the people that I was at Sugar and Spice Shout out Sugar and Spice. Ashley, tiffany, megan those were my teachers. They're phenomenal, love them. Tiffany, uh, megan, those were my teachers. They phenomenal, love them, um. And then Thea uh, thea's Dance Academy. She's in Youngsville. She actually took me on as a teacher. Um, it was five years ago, so now I'm getting a little busy, so it's kind of hard for me to teach now, but I do go and she does like adult classes, which a lot of people don't do, Because, like, once you graduate dancing, you're done, you know, and you don't really get to go back, which kind of sucks.
Speaker 1:So she was the only person that actually teaches like adult classes and I kind of do that now. It's like every other week, just because life is busy. It's gotten busy for me. I used to not be this busy.
Speaker 3:How many times a week are you posting?
Speaker 1:Right now it's almost every day.
Speaker 3:Wow.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm, like, after this I'm going to be in my little studio, my bathroom studio, your bathroom. My little office, my little studio.
Speaker 3:Okay, so you know you design your bathroom for yourself, but then you also have this element of everyone now is seeing my bathroom, so are you constantly looking at changing the curtains, or or the I did so.
Speaker 1:Where I'm at now it's uh, this is daniel's house and so, um, he had I can't even remember, it was just like a not a good shower curtain.
Speaker 4:And I was like I got to change that?
Speaker 1:If you see, like the first ones, I can't even remember what it looked like, but I was like, can I change the curtain?
Speaker 3:Let's see if we can find it. Pull up.
Speaker 1:You got to go back a little bit. Let's see.
Speaker 3:Let's see, get those nails out of here to go back a little bit.
Speaker 1:Let's see, let's see, get those nails out of here. So funny because, uh, a lady that shot, she was I can't, I can't remember what her, um, her profile thing is on tiktok, but she was like is it because that bathroom's clean? Oh wait, go up. Yeah, that's the old bathroom. Oh wait, wait, go down a little bit. Nope, that's recent. Let's see, go down, go down.
Speaker 3:Oh, these are the popular videos.
Speaker 1:Dang. Okay, wait. Oh yeah, You're in the popular ones. Okay, I was like wait.
Speaker 3:No, it's all good Way to go, Luke.
Speaker 2:Go down. Sit down a little bit. Okay, now go back up.
Speaker 1:So this is the old bathroom, probably like one of the first, that first one right there probably. Yeah, let's see what that thing looks like.
Speaker 3:Sorry for all the listeners it was just plain.
Speaker 1:I think it was plastic or something and I was like Curled hair. Yeah, oh yeah, that was a Timo, timo, timo, and I made my hair like super curly and it's like a straightener all over the place, such as my. Yeah, it was very plain, and then now I have the, the, the better version, the cuter, designed, um elegant one. Still kept it white, though.
Speaker 3:Those, those, those quick, hard cuts have got to be so tedious.
Speaker 1:They can be yeah, but this timer helps me.
Speaker 3:Okay. And I'm just like you know it's just like I post on TikTok, but I've never made a video through TikTok.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I guess it's like almost like you know, whenever they make movies like action, like one, two, three action. And then I just, you know, do it. I think Daniel has a little preview behind the scenes. Okay.
Speaker 3:Preview behind the scenes, okay is um of me doing like walking across the actual tub, which was really cool. People were eating that up actually. I saw that the other day yeah.
Speaker 1:So that's like this is kind of how it works and I just go back, press, you know see what, if I like it, if I don't, then I just redo it, which only takes me I personally, it takes me like one or two takes, because I feel like if I keep doing it, then it's not going to be me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you overthink it, correct, almost like I did that a lot in the beginning oh, just trying to make it so perfect and now I'm just like and if I, when I look at my other ones, I'm like, okay, I'm all over the place. I mean I still am, but like I was extra over the place, like my phone camera set up like I, only I didn't have no ring, light or nothing, I just had it by the sink, like if you go back, the quality is just at a weird angle and everything like the background looked have you ever put in the time to make a full video and then just last second be like no, I'm not posting this one um, no, no, I posted all the ones that I've wanted.
Speaker 1:Now there was times that I tried to post one and like something happened to where it like glitched or something like that and like has a watermark on it so I can't post it anywhere else, like I've come. I've had struggles with that of like I've put the time in it, and that's whenever I was still trying to figure it out too. But I put the time in it and like my video, just like was not it, and I was like I put so much time into that. But it was a learning curve.
Speaker 3:On the top of your TikTok page you have a pinned video. It's like 22 million views, which is absurd to even think about, but it's with Febreze. Was that a sponsored?
Speaker 1:thing. Okay, yeah, they reached out to me.
Speaker 3:Yeah, talk me through that process, for like a brand reaching out to you.
Speaker 1:Um, so I didn't I don't do it on my own. Um, I had a friend that he helped me out. Um, he wanted me to promote something that he was doing, um on Amazon. So I helped him out there and then I think from him watching me, he was like okay, something could happen here. So he's really helped him out there. And then I think from him watching me, he was like okay, something could happen here. So he's really helped me out. Because I'm not an email girl, like you know.
Speaker 4:I'm not on my phone. I don't mess with none of my none of that.
Speaker 1:So, um, he took on the emails and this and that and I I think they reached out to me because I have my email, you know, in my little bio or whatever, or my link tree yeah, my link tree and um, I think that's how they reached out, and then we made it happen. It was so cool and they just sent me all kind of stuff. It was so cool that's so fun I know most of the time you know they'll other people smart branding too for breeze like in the bathroom.
Speaker 3:Yeah, dude yeah, that's.
Speaker 1:I was like oh, this is like it goes hand in hand, so it really works out. It was really cool would you you ever?
Speaker 3:it's so fascinating how this world is changing, because you could be a spokesman for a company without ever saying a word. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, true, yeah, that's what happened. It's crazy, like commercials aren't the same anymore. You know, right, they call it. You know an ad commercial or whatever I mean technically it is you know, promoting.
Speaker 3:But just whatever I mean technically, it is, you know, promoting um, but just, but your content doesn't change depending on like you're still doing what you do and I stayed on that because, like some, there were some companies that wanted me to talk and I'm like that's not my thing, like I can't.
Speaker 1:You're gonna give me anxiety, I'm gonna panic attack like I can't talk but literally talking to a microphone on camera right now yeah, I know I Look I worked up to this okay, because at first I was like just very nervous of talking because nobody knows my voice. You know, it's cool when nobody knows my voice or anything like that they do now, but but no, at first I was just like I don't want to talk, I don't know what to say, or like, you know, I don't know.
Speaker 3:I've never been like a you know kind of person, so I assume you're the type of person, though, like at a wedding, you're on the dance floor.
Speaker 1:Oh, 100%. All the time I am in the middle on the floor, 100%.
Speaker 3:And you grew up. Obviously we talk about the Cupid Shuffle, but there's so many different line dances in South Louisiana.
Speaker 1:Everybody looks at me, yeah, yeah, if we're at a wedding and I know people or whatever they're like Chash, you know this one, chash, this one, you're going to do this one, you know this one. Yes, I know this one. Let me show you and I'll do it with them. And what's your favorite line dance? It's an old school one. If you don't want me, what's the song? Don't tell me, it's too easy loving you. You know that song.
Speaker 3:I don't know that one For real it's.
Speaker 1:What's the song?
Speaker 3:Look her up.
Speaker 1:It's like a. It's a classic. What are some of the lyrics? If you don't want me, if you don't want me to, or I don't know If this is the right lyrics.
Speaker 3:There's probably someone sitting there like screaming the name of the song.
Speaker 1:That's not the right one. Sing it correctly.
Speaker 3:The free.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah the free, oh the free, thank you, there we go.
Speaker 3:Why that one?
Speaker 1:Oh, I just like the little kick part and then the little turn part. It's like my favorite and I just like I don't know, that's just one of my favorites to do. I just really get into it. I don't know.
Speaker 3:I play music and going back home to Covington this weekend to play a wedding and on one of the bride's list is to do Haters, so I'll be singing that.
Speaker 1:That's a good one too. Yeah, I'll be singing that. That's a good one too, yeah.
Speaker 3:That gets people to the floor.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it definitely does. It's a good one. I love haters too.
Speaker 3:But it's just a little old soul. What is it about line dances that makes people who are afraid to dance a little more comfortable? Is it because there's directions and everyone's doing the same thing?
Speaker 1:I think so yeah, because you can learn.
Speaker 3:Like obviously it doesn't apply to you. They could be playing Happy Birthday and you'd be on the dance floor.
Speaker 1:Exactly. There is one that I actually struggle with. It's the one that they stomp. I don't even know what it's called. It's like some country, one. Oh my God, do you know what I'm talking about? Oh man, oh yeah, they probably know. They probably know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3:I've gone down that rabbit hole a couple times with, like Texas line dance clubs. Yeah, and people doing that on TikTok.
Speaker 1:That's crazy, that like I mean that's cool, that it's a thing, but like I don't know they got like people that actually go and do line dances like all night.
Speaker 3:You should go to make some content on one of those.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because content one of those. Yeah, because I've seen like so many people do it and I'm like that's so cool. What I really want to do. I want to her. Her name is jordan, she works, I think. This is in tennessee. She has her own studio. It's called area 49 or something like that or I don't know what it's called 94, but she's incredible. I want to take her class, okay, so good, like I'm obsessed with her, still learning with her.
Speaker 3:Still learning. I'm obsessed with her.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and Thea went over there. She went actually twice. She went twice. I'm like now you can take me with you, because at first I couldn't go, but I love her. I'm obsessed with her, so do you get recognized in public? Oh, really I went to have jet and he was like you're famous and I was like I am, but I'm not like I'm. You know, I don't label myself as that what's yeah, what's that like?
Speaker 3:I mean, I I've experienced it on a small scale. Uh, when I was working for the news, the only place I was ever recognized was at walmart. I was walmart famous, but I'd have like old ladies coming to me, like at the dairy aisle, be like are you the guy from the news?
Speaker 4:yeah, hi, same same.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I am Hi Same same.
Speaker 1:That's what I do. I'm like, yeah, it's me.
Speaker 3:But I've also had people come up to me and be like I know you from somewhere and I'm like I don't know.
Speaker 1:I've got to list my credits. They give me the look and they're like you can feel when someone's looking at you. Oh, my videos, I look normal.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you look like a normal person.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so, and you know, when I tell them all the time, they're like are you? And I'm like yeah, I'm out the bathroom today. Like you know, I joke with them or whatever. They're always so crazy to me which I guess I get it, but they're like. They're like not standoffish, but like shy. To ask for a picture, I'm always off. I'm like you want a picture? Yeah, let's take a picture. I'm like yeah, let's take a picture. But they're like it's crazy how like yeah, yes, dude, that's the look man, that's the look and they're like I know you from somewhere.
Speaker 1:You look so familiar. That's normally what they say, that, or they're like you're that girl and I'm like yes.
Speaker 3:What is it about the female fascination with restrooms? As far as selfies and, I guess in your case, videos go, because I'm single, I'm on the dating apps and every girl, for the most part, has a picture, or a lot of them have a selfie, in a public restroom.
Speaker 1:I don't know, it's a girl thing. They have the best mirrors in the bathroom. To be honest with you, oh the lighting.
Speaker 3:The lighting.
Speaker 1:Oh I was like wait, am I not in the light? No, it's true, and I feel like they have just massive mirrors for us.
Speaker 3:Sorry, guys, I don't do the cool stuff. Remember that sketch on the Amanda show the Girl's Room? Did you watch that growing up?
Speaker 1:Yeah, but it's like vague.
Speaker 3:The Girl's Room. Oh yeah, it's very vague though in my memory. What goes on? What goes on in there, you think, in the girls' room?
Speaker 1:Dude, we talk about like all kind of stuff.
Speaker 3:Yeah, what y'all plotting in there?
Speaker 1:It's some random stuff Like or you know my thing I've always like. But conversational starter is like I love your outfit so fricking cute, Like that's just thank you. Or, if I'm so cute, love the best. Love the greens bringing up your eyes.
Speaker 4:Kind of.
Speaker 1:Christmas colors. I love it. I love it, love to be festive. Look, say Mary.
Speaker 3:Love it. I got some nutcrackers yeah.
Speaker 1:I love it and it matches.
Speaker 3:I have no idea where they came from.
Speaker 1:Love it.
Speaker 3:Okay, so that's how you get the conversation started.
Speaker 1:I'm always and because I always that's another thing I always say you, whatever you put out, you'll get back too. So, like you know, I love when people do that to me too, and I'll be honest with you, like I love. Like you know, I'm a fashion kind of girl. And if I?
Speaker 1:love it. I'm going to let you know, Like if I'm walking I don't know, just passing somebody by, I'm like oh, love you skirt, love you shoes. And when someone does that to you, it probably makes your whole day huh, yeah, that's what I'm saying, and like their reactions are like oh, thank you, thank you so much. Me, I'm going to detail, joy all around. Yeah, that's how I've always been. My first office that I worked for, they always told me I was like the sunshine of the office, which is super sweet, really cool.
Speaker 1:That is a sweet compliment to get, yeah it is, and that's just how I always lived my life. I just went out there. Now, now.
Speaker 3:I am. Okay, I wasn't now. Okay, I am okay. So let's, let's, let's, let's peel back the the curtain even more. So you're starting to get these little brand deals with like a febreze or something. But you just said how much you love clothes.
Speaker 1:You go, you're going after some some clothing deals, um so I don't think I have anything like lined up, but they I have clothing brands. Oh, actually, three gyms is one that I collab with, so that's whenever I first started. They reached out to me. They're from, like, the Myrtle Beach area.
Speaker 3:Okay, south Carolina.
Speaker 1:Thank you, yeah, south Carolina.
Speaker 3:Words are hard.
Speaker 1:Definitely For me. Yeah, can't type or anything.
Speaker 3:Can't even spell the.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so you, you know it's normal. Um. So they, um, they reached out to me. I've been collabing with them since I started, so that's about like three years, and then, like I have clothes, like they'll just send me stuff, but like I'm not obligated to post or anything yet so um, yeah, I just kind of like that kind of stuff, you know, but nothing as far as like big brands or anything not yet.
Speaker 3:That's what yeah?
Speaker 1:I'm hoping, like in the, I have an agent now um wow she's been incorrect. It's crazy dude. I'm like, who am I? Like this is wild, like why I gotta have all these people, but it's like it's worth it.
Speaker 3:It helps because it's a whole industry dude influencer yeah, like there's so many ways to like.
Speaker 1:There's just so many helps, because it's a whole industry dude influencer. Yeah, like, there's so many ways to like. There's just so many things.
Speaker 3:It's just a whole different, different world there's a, there's a cool freedom to it you know yeah.
Speaker 1:Well, I yeah because there's so like, like I said, there's so many things like fashion for me. What's been helping me? Like I created, I created an LTK. That's like a big thing for girls, for sure. It's just like you know, I can put everything and most of the people ask what you wearing.
Speaker 3:What is an LTK?
Speaker 1:Link to know. So it's like, basically, I just like take a photo and I can just tag every single item that I'm wearing so they know exactly what it is and they could just go to it and get it Versus me, like going through the comments saying I got it from this place.
Speaker 3:Right.
Speaker 1:This is a la la la. It's easier for them.
Speaker 3:It's just an easier way for them to access it, so I guess if you know when your agent gets you some of these deals. If they click on one of those let's say that they like your shoes they go to that shoe website.
Speaker 1:They buy it shoes they go to that shoe website. They buy it. Do you get a kickback? Yeah, I get it. It all varies with the app, but, um, yeah, I get a little something. A little something, something crazy but a little, something, something.
Speaker 3:Yeah, do you, do you get paid directly from tiktok? Yes, how does that work?
Speaker 1:so they have a creator's rewards program so you can. You have to have an x amount of followers for it, you have to get approved for it, um, but you have to make a minute videos so to get something off of it. Now, sometimes I'll get a really good one, like the Glorilla one that I did. That one went crazy, so like I got a good you know little chunk out of it, but like you never know if it's gonna to do good or not, and it does every like 30 days or something like that.
