00:00Literally, I went through this very short phase in like 2019, where I was like,

00:05no, I was like 20, but I went through this phase where I was like, if I really don't feel good,

00:09or like, it's like five in the morning, and I'm at the airport, and I don't want to take a selfie,

00:12like, I'm gonna allow myself to say no if I don't want to, which like, it only lasted two weeks,

00:17because I felt so guilty for like, days and days afterwards, where I'd be like, you know what,

00:22it's easier for me to just like, take the fucking picture of an Instagram, and feel guilty for five

00:25days afterwards, like, I'll be like, trying to find their Instagram handle, and be like, oh my god,

00:28I didn't have a good experience, like, oh my god, so anyway, but part of why I really think about

00:33this, is because I met this very famous person who I really look up to, and we were together,

00:40Tim and I were together, I think maybe you were there, and I ran up to this person,

00:44and I was trying to be cool, and be like, I was trying, I was like, I was like, trying to like,

00:49play it cool, and I was gonna, and I was like, trying to act like I didn't want a selfie,

01:13like, it's like a long day, we've been like, working all day, and I totally get what it's

01:16like to be like, on, and be like, working like that, and everything, and I'm like, so sorry,

01:26is this person is so universally loved, and heralded, as like, a really loving person, so,

01:33you know, we all have our times, everyone has their moments, like a really tiny tidbit,

01:40every now and then, if you do see me out on the street, and I've got my kids, I always say no,

01:45and I'm so sorry, but I've got, I'm, they will tell you, they care, if you, look, if they will

01:49tell you what, if I have a cat, we're true, it is, I'm such a bounded person, if I'm on my own,

01:55if I'm on my own, and you see me, I will absolutely, I will give you a hug, I'll ask you about everything

02:00in your fucking life, I can't not talk, you've gotten to know me tonight, I'm constantly this,

02:04this, this, this, this, however, if I'm with my kids, and somebody comes over, and wants a picture,

02:09I don't show my kids' faces, so, I will always very politely say, unfortunately, this is my
