- “It is the slipperiest slope. Like it really…Maybe sliding up and sliding up as well.” (Emily, [02:28])
- Both agree hate comments are almost a badge of honor in comedy, though they don’t bother them—unless “not funny” is the insult.
- “You could call me fat, ugly, stupid, annoying…fine. But when someone says I’m not funny? That’s fucking rude.” (Grace, [04:30])
- Emily’s strategy: Responding to trolls with a zoom-in of their own profile picture—“It means nothing and means everything at the same time. Because it’s about your interpretation.” (Emily, [03:22])
2. Catholic Upbringing, Spiritual Shifts, and the Northeast Identity
Starting at [05:13]

4. Ginger Men: A Niche Passion
[13:00 – ongoing]

5. The Cow Collision Chaos: Emily’s Vermont Adventure
[25:04 – 32:29]

- With her leggings torn, a near miss on her beloved jacket, and a big purple bruise in a sensitive place, Emily details the absurdity with physical comedy and self-deprecating flair.
