back today's video is brought to you by
our friends at better help I have to ask
you what gets in the way of your
happiness I know for me when I started
with better help what I loved about it
was I could basically get matched up
with somebody based on stuff that I knew
I wanted to talk about for example for
me I obviously wanted a therapist who
was lgbtqa plus literate like I'm not
trying to explain the inner workings of
gay life to somebody I also needed
somebody who was flexible in certain
time zones because I'm always traveling
so I need a therapist who sometimes
could meet me at 7:00 a.m. before I go
to set better help connects you to a
licensed therapist who can directly give
you what you need there's someone for
you and what I love about better help is
if you're not match with the right
person for you cuz it's kind of like
dating it's all like a fit you can
change therapist at any time for any
reason and it is not weird in the
beginning of my therapy journey I
switched just because our time zones
were incompatible and I love it because
you can do it all from your phone
computer I've taken therapy sessions on
the phone at an airport in my backyard
by the pool here at the studio on my
gaming computer I mean being able to
access that level of help from home it

BBL because now everybody's like BBL
that looks like sh like all the time yes
there's people that always say that yeah
cuz this is my thing if people are doing
surgeries to maybe change their bodies
I'm not saying this is a generalization
but like it might mean that this is
people that are conscious or self
conscious about certain parts yeah so
when we invite the audience to
constantly talk about people's surgeries
we're like going in their brain and
scratching that part of it that's like
does it look bad does it look good you
know what I mean yeah there's this queen
who's well known we won't mention her
name but there was oh we'll mention my
name in the bathroom but we won't

don't like the way she looks that's
definitely silicone that's definitely
the that and then she commented oh yeah

like that is that does not look right
and her attitudes grows and I'm and I'm
here like huh damn yeah I mean kind of
sicking that I there was a whole threat
about me but I mean I will say when you
make a change to your body it invites
