Emma Chamberlain reveals all in a game of 'Pop Quiz,' including the advice she'd give to her younger self, the best gift she's ever received and much more.
Transcript
00:00I feel weird that I did that, but you asked for it.
00:07Did I eat it?
00:09Hi, I'm Emma Chamberlain, and we're going to be playing Pop Quiz.
00:13Let's see.
00:14Let's start here.
00:18That was so loud.
00:20What is the best gift you've received?
00:23The real gift is other people's presence in your life.
00:28But if I had to choose a material gift, I would say a vintage Napoleon Dynamite zip-up sweatshirt.
00:37It's just, you just can't buy that stuff anymore.
00:40It's such a thoughtful gift.
00:41So probably that.
00:47Last text you sent.
00:50It was probably to one of my parents, and it was probably just me being like, how are you?
00:54Like, I text my parents, how are you, 10 times a day.
00:58They're like, good.
00:59The same, I'm still good.
01:01I was good an hour ago.
01:02I'm still good.
01:03I love my parents, and I check up on them every hour.
01:07Okay.
01:08I lost the pin.
01:09Word your friends would use to describe you.
01:20You know what?
01:21Random.
01:23I don't know.
01:23I feel like I'm just random.
01:25My friend's actually back there.
01:26Jared, would you agree that I'm random?
01:28I'm pretty random.
01:29Okay.
01:30Random.
01:30Last song, You Got Stuck in Your Head.
01:36Ooh, this is like super vulnerable.
01:39I don't know the answer.
01:41I can't remember yet, but whatever the answer is, just know that this is vulnerable.
01:45Last song.
01:46Probably Vampire by Olivia Rodrigo.
01:49That shit is good.
01:54Word that makes you cringe.
01:56I'm not one of those people that's like, oh, don't say moist.
02:00Like moist for me is actually like appetizing.
02:03Because when somebody says moist, I think of like a moist banana bread or like a moist
02:07dessert.
02:08So that one doesn't bother me.
02:11Oh, the word cluster does make me nauseous.
02:17Like for some reason, I can handle it.
02:19I mean, I just said it, but it definitely isn't.
02:22I don't prefer it.
02:25Last book you read.
02:26Ooh, this is embarrassing.
02:27It's been a long time.
02:30I was going through a big reading phase for probably a year.
02:35And then I just stopped.
02:37I've been trying to read Crime and Punishment for literally over a year.
02:43And I'll read a chapter and be like, this is not for me right now.
02:47And then I retire it for a few months.
02:49And then I try to read another chapter.
02:51I will finish it one day.
02:53So we'll say it's the last book I read.
02:55But, you know, I haven't finished it yet.
02:57I'll get back to you in like 2030 when I finish it.
03:00And I'll totally let you know what I think.
03:04Favorite dance move, show us.
03:07So silly, you guys.
03:09Wow.
03:09What is my favorite dance move?
03:13Like that.
03:14Like, but just like head down.
03:17You know what I mean?
03:18I hate that you guys make me do that.
03:20Don't ever make me do that again.
03:21How did you make your first dollar?
03:27Oh, I know.
03:30I used to collect these tiny little erasers, but they weren't like any eraser.
03:36They were little erasers shaped like average objects.
03:41You know, there was a little dog eraser, a little pig shaped eraser, a little car eraser.
03:48And they were incredible.
03:50I mean, they were really cool.
03:51Like you could take them apart and put them back together.
03:54Like they were full little sculptures, but they were erasers.
03:57But I got word somehow that these erasers were selling for big bucks.
04:03So probably around third grade, I started selling off my collection to kids at school and they
04:10would bring money and I would sell my little erasers that my mom bought me, right?
04:15So like my mom invested in me as an entrepreneur and bought me these erasers.
04:22I then went to school and sold them, pocketed the cash, didn't tell mom, first dollar.
04:31What should every woman try at least once in her life?
04:41I don't know.
04:42I don't know.
04:43Probably Cool Ranch Doritos at least once.
04:46They are so like, when I think about what's like a ones in a lifetime experience, I don't
04:52know.
04:52Like if you haven't tried Cool Ranch Doritos, go out and try it.
04:55But I'll tell you that's universal.
04:57That's not just, that's for everybody.
04:59I don't know what should, I'm going to try to give a serious answer.
05:02Although not that that's not serious.
05:04Cause that actually is true.
05:05Like if you've never tried them, you should right now.
05:08I don't know.
05:09That's, that's too hard.
05:10Can I come back to it?
05:11Guilty pleasure watch on TV or streamer.
05:20I have, I've kind of a bad habit where I like to rewatch my two favorite movies, Napoleon
05:26Dynamite and Coraline.
05:28And it's at a point now where it's like, I've seen them so many times.
05:33It's not cute anymore.
05:34It's not like, oh, that's your favorite movie.
05:36You're watching it again.
05:37It's like, Emma, you have to watch something else.
05:39Like you have to watch something else.
05:42It's unhealthy now.
05:44It's also like, I haven't even seen that many other movies.
05:48I'm not super into movies.
05:50I'm into my two movies that I like and I just keep rewatching them and I don't explore new
05:56things, which is not good.
05:58So Napoleon Dynamite and Coraline, best movies on the planet.
06:04Do you have any secret talents?
06:07Show us.
06:09To be honest, I am pretty boring.
06:13I mean, I used to be a cheerleader so I can kind of lift my leg up and I'll try it for
06:17you.
06:18But let's see if the flexibility is still there.
06:20It definitely isn't.
06:21But like, you know, I can, I can lift a leg up.
06:25Oh, I'm hitting the mic.
06:27Like, is that impressive?
06:28I mean, I'm kind of like, I'm no more flexible than like your friend that goes to yoga at this
06:36point.
06:36I've lost all flexibility.
06:38I used to be very flexible though.
06:40I feel weird that I did that.
06:42But you asked for it.
06:44Go to late night snack.
06:46I do love something salty and crunchy at night.
06:52Like I love a flavored pistachio, like a salt and vinegar pistachio, chili lime pistachio,
07:03like a yummy cracker.
07:05Oh, Mary's Gone Crackers, best crackers.
07:08They're so good.
07:09Sometimes randomly like a popsicle.
07:12It just, it's like, ooh, wait, that actually sounds great.
07:15And like watching TV with a little popsicle.
07:17But I think my dream late night snack, if I always had it in stock at home, would be a
07:22white cheddar cheese it.
07:23That's like, that would hit the spot.
07:25But you would have to brush again, because that will ruin, that will ruin everything that
07:30you had going on here.
07:34What makes you feel most powerful and confident?
07:39I think it's a combination of feeling like I'm providing value in some way to other people
07:45while still taking care of myself.
07:47When I have that balance, it is magical what can happen.
07:52It's not an easy balance to strike, but it is worth the eternal challenge.
08:01What advice would you give to your younger self?
08:04To be patient with the process of growing into yourself.
08:10You know, my younger self was a young kid.
08:14Like I, I'm just now arriving to a point where I'm an adult and I'm kind of solidifying who
08:22I am as a person.
08:23But prior to literally right now, I was a child and there's so many growing pains when you're
08:30growing into yourself as an adult.
08:31And I think I tried to force the process, like force moving things forward.
08:38And it was so uncomfortable and it was so unnatural.
08:43And the reason why I did that was because I didn't trust the natural process.
08:48And I think I could have just gone with the flow a little bit more and trusted the fact
08:54that things will come together.
08:57I guess I would just tell my younger self not to rush growing up, not to feel any pressure
09:05to have things figured out.
09:07It all takes patience.
09:10And I had none of it and it was uncomfortable.
09:14What is the number one thing on your bucket list?
09:18I'm not one of those people who need to go skydiving.
09:22I don't want to go skydiving.
09:24I don't want to climb Mount Everest.
09:26Those types of things don't excite me.
09:28I think number one thing on my bucket list, like, I don't know, maybe have a kid.
09:34Kind of boring.
09:36Like, I really do think it'd be cute to have a little.
09:38But, like, maybe I won't even want that.
09:42Like, I don't know.
09:44I'll regret that bucket list item when my kid is, like, two and is, like, throwing up
09:49in my car.
09:50Last one.
09:51This better be so juicy.
09:54This better be the juiciest one.
10:00Should I eat it?
10:02I just thought about eating it.
10:04I was like, that would totally be funny, but I won't do it.
10:06Most starstruck moment was probably towards the beginning of my career when I first started
10:18meeting the YouTubers that I watch or watched at the time.
10:22Like, I got to meet Cody Ko and Rhett and Link, too.
10:28I grew up watching YouTube.
10:30My superstars were YouTubers.
10:33And that was honestly the most starstruck I ever felt.
10:36Because I think from that point forward, I was like, wait, oh, everybody's pretty normal.
10:41I don't really get starstruck.
10:44Maybe that moment is yet to come.
10:47If I met Napoleon Dynamite, yes, I would be starstruck.
10:51Waiting for that day to come.
10:53That was Pop Quiz with Marie Claire.
