Barbie Ferreira
Yes, hello. Thank you for having me.
Gabby
And she's dating someone.
Barbie Ferreira

Barbie Ferreira
Yeah.
Gabby
Like, okay, it was single. Wait, is it a boy or a girl?
Barbie Ferreira
Boy.

Barbie Ferreira
I'm like, blushing.
Gabby
So you like him?
Barbie Ferreira
Yeah.
Grace
And I keep saying, like, the evil eye, you know, we got to keep it. The evil eyes out there.
Barbie Ferreira
So we keep it hush, hush for now.
Gabby
Okay, that makes sense. Would the evil eye being like the public trying to tear you down or just spirit?
Grace
I just feel like when you. I don't know. I've also never done that.
Shopify Advertiser
I've never been like, look at me in my boobs.
Barbie Ferreira
I, like, dated someone for three years and no one. They just thought we were friends. Like, it really doesn't really matter. So I don't know what evil eye at all, actually. Probably just.
Gabby
No, I get it. You don't want to, like, you don't want to not curse it.
Barbie Ferreira
It just feels like. Jinx it. Yeah, jinx it. Yeah, jinx.
Gabby
Yeah.

Nowhere to start one. I think the way you've done your career is like so inspirational. Thank you. Yes. Like stepping away from euphoria and like doing things that actually fulfill you. Because it's like, it's scary.
Barbie Ferreira
But yeah.
Grace
Yeah.
Barbie Ferreira
Like everything being an actor is scary. I feel like I. Every choice I make, I'm like, is this the correct one? Even if it's something small, like what I'm wearing to the premiere tonight.
Podcast Host
No.
Barbie Ferreira
Yeah.
Gabby
Because they're like, everything matters. It doesn't.
Grace
Honestly, this year I've just let go. I've like, I'm at a point where
Barbie Ferreira
I'm like almost three. Like I've let go and let. God girl.
Gabby
Yeah.
Grace
I'm just like I can't control anything, so I just do it.
Gabby
No, that's amazing.
Grace
I just keep chugging along.
Barbie Ferreira
Yeah. Come on. Come on, girl.
Gabby
In front of the other. Yeah. It's like an alcoholic. It's just like a day at a time.
Barbie Ferreira
One foot in front of the other.
Grace
Let's go.
Barbie Ferreira
We can do this.
Gabby
Were you like. Because I feel like I'm in a place kind of not to make it about me, but in my career where it's, like, same. I want to. I want to, like, not worry about the money as much and, like, take a step back.
Grace
Yeah.
Gabby
And, like, not told. I mean, I'll sell my soul for the right thing. Yeah.
Grace
Of course. If you believe in it. Sell my soul away.
Gabby
But it's like, okay, I still have to, like, wait. And then I'm not making as much money. It's the balancing act. And then it's, like, scared.
Barbie Ferreira
It's scary. Cause it's a balancing act of, like, what? Like, you know, I have all these, like, things that are real life. Tangible bills usually, or, like, problems. And then I have, like, my creative fulfillment. And I've been trying to balance those two things. Like, I, like, went away to do a play, you know, and then, like, went on to do two indie movies.
Grace
Movies.
Barbie Ferreira
It's been like two years of my life kind of doing these maybe less lucrative financially things that were really fulfilling for me.
Gabby
Yeah.
Barbie Ferreira
And I really love it.
Grace
I feel like I just am finding the balance of that, of how to, like, do things that are still commercial and fun. I love doing those, too. I want to be in a Minions movie. I keep putting that out there.
Barbie Ferreira
I like, listen up. I keep mentioning, I noticed there's a new one and I wasn't asked to audition. And I keep putting. I'm pretty good at Manifesto and I keep talking about the Minions. But since, like, Minions 3, I've been like, I would killed to be in this movie.
Gabby
Keep talking.
Barbie Ferreira
And I think if I just talk
Grace
about it enough, maybe they will put me in it.
Gabby
No, you have a great voice, Banana. I feel like I'm practicing. I don't even need any concerts.
Barbie Ferreira
I actually don't. I've been what they call miniones or something like that. I, like, have been learning. There's, like, YouTube tutorials. Anyway, all that to say. All that to say is like, I've
Grace
just been finding what Also navigating Hollywood now is different.
Barbie Ferreira
It's not like.
Gabby
What do you mean? Also, I love voiceover.
Grace
Oh, my God. You have an incredible voice.
Gabby
Thank you. You do too.
Grace
Us two is yapping and then the. An made in show, please.
Gabby
But I want to be in the Minions too.
Barbie Ferreira
Then let's all be the Minions.
Grace
The bad Minions. Bad prequel.
Barbie Ferreira
The baddies. Minions. Baddies.
Gabby
No, actually, can you imagine a Minions for Girls?
Barbie Ferreira
This is Minions for girls. Come on.
Grace
Come on now.
Barbie Ferreira
Oh, it's already cooking you.
Gabby
Literally what we need is representation.
Barbie Ferreira
I think that they just got, like, an incredible idea here for free. So let's get it done. We're available.
Gabby
It's on the back end.
Barbie Ferreira
Yeah. Baddies. Minions. No, I love it. I'm like a really.
Grace
It's fun because it's like Hollywood right
Barbie Ferreira
now is just, like, you're, like, selling yourself as a brand as well, a different way. Like, you're not, like, at the studio, like, you know, living at the studio and they pay you pennies to the dollar and they just own you. And you play, like, guest spots anymore, or even the traditional movie star or TV show thing. It feels like people are trying to figure out how to navigate the world now. Now that we have, like, streaming and online stuff, people can make their own things.
Gabby
Right? Do you think, like. Do you think because I do that now, like, having kind of an online platform is like, a different type of nepotism.
Barbie Ferreira
Yes.
Gabby
Yeah.
Barbie Ferreira
It's gotten me everywhere that I've gotten today.
Grace
And I used it literally.
Barbie Ferreira
Yeah. Every step of the way.
Gabby
Right, right.
Barbie Ferreira
It's what I had.
Gabby
And when you come from, like, nothing.
Barbie Ferreira
Yeah. So I had no family that was, like, producing movies or someone who's like, a sound guy. Like, nothing at all. Not, like, working on.
Grace
Yeah.
Barbie Ferreira
So I. I had to, like, kind of figure out.
Grace
And I really early on just found
Barbie Ferreira
out the Internet kind of liked me. So I just was like, oh, there's got to be something in this.
Gabby
How could they not? I know me looking at your Tumblr pictures last night.
Grace
Oh, my God.
Gabby
Thank you. How's she making those faces so young?
Barbie Ferreira
I mean, my mom's so good. You can, like, see, like, the, like, floral Latina, like, bedspread, like, with my mother's room and, like, her pictures of,
Grace
like, our first communion in the back,
Barbie Ferreira
like, from, like, the 70s. I like, look back at this and I'm like, oh, my God. Me and my mom's room just, like, laying and, like, I mean, those are so fun. I was just, like, always. I felt like the Internet was a
Grace
place where people understood me more. And I also was like, maybe this will one day turn into something lucrative in my acting careers. I've always wanted to be an actor.
Barbie Ferreira
So I was just trying.
Gabby
No, you literally did it.
Grace
It's about ambition.
Barbie Ferreira
Yes.
Gabby
No, you're a manifester.
Barbie Ferreira
Thank you. Early on, I love that. I've just kept trying my whole life. I think that that's like. That's honestly what you have to do. Just keep trying and maybe one day it'll work out.
Gabby
Right. Right. Because I'm like, kind of everyone. Maybe not everyone, but isn't it everyone's to, like, be on tv?
Grace
Of course.
Gabby
Right. So it's like we all have the same dream. So at some point you're like, okay, I'm just gonna give it up.
Barbie Ferreira
I know. I told my friend who's a nurse.
Grace
I was like, when I was a kid, I just, like, really knew I wanted to be an actor. I would watch movies and see.
Barbie Ferreira
And she's like, we all think that. And I was like, oh, okay.
Gabby
You're like, sorry.
Barbie Ferreira
I thought it was like, only me wanted to be in the big screen. She's like, we all think that. Like, I'm like, oh, okay. I didn't know. I guess I just thought that this was unique to me.
Gabby
Right. But I really wanted it.
Barbie Ferreira
Yeah. No, and then, you know, doing like, little, like, I was like, little Peter Pan. Like a little theater production.
Grace
But, oh, my God. So fun. Yeah, it was fun.
Gabby
So you like. Which I don't know if you're sick of telling your story, but you went into, like, how did you get discovered for E. Com? Modeling.
Barbie Ferreira
Oh, my gosh. That was honestly really funny.
Grace
So I started modeling for American Apparel
Barbie Ferreira
when I was 16.
Gabby
I.
Grace
This is like, the first time I ever seen, like, an email that was like an open call. And I was like, okay, I am clearly not a model, like, a traditional model, but the girls that do American Apparel are, like, kind of at the point at, like, 2013, 2012, it was
Gabby
like, and you're hot as hell. I mean, you're such, like, American Apparel.
Barbie Ferreira
I will say at 16, I did not think that. I'm gonna tell you that right now. I didn't think that at all. But I was like, you know, maybe
Grace
this will be something that could help me with my acting career.
Barbie Ferreira
Always acting career. So as a little kid, I was like, come on now. Like, you know, I was like, at agent's office, like, I'm the real deal. Like, at 10, it's, you know, razzle dazzle. So I was like, maybe this will help. And they did get back to me, and then I did a shoot, and
Grace
then they offered me a job at the mall.
Barbie Ferreira
I lived in Jersey at the time, the Garden State Plaza. And so they offered me a job. I was like, sure. So I worked at the.
Grace
At the store for a little bit.
Barbie Ferreira
And then the pictures came out like
Grace
kind of a few months after I started working there.
Barbie Ferreira
And then, you know, it went like. It went platinum in New York. You know, it went real platinum in New York. Like the New York indie scene. It went platinum.
Gabby
What do you mean? Like, you just like the pictures of
Barbie Ferreira
me and Diana, my friend, like, they
Grace
were like very New York.
Barbie Ferreira
Like, you know, we were like on like the bridge and we were like. It was very of the time, I would say, you know, we were all
Grace
wearing supreme and palace on the streets of soho.
Barbie Ferreira
I'm painting a picture here.
Gabby
Literally. Nostalgia. Yeah, I want to go the dollar
Barbie Ferreira
pizza outside the opening ceremony that we can't afford anything in. But we're like sneaking into parties. We have no business being in lots. Lots can relate in that. So it was like kind of a fun time.
Grace
And then I started working with Petra Collins, who's a good friend of mine who we met.
Barbie Ferreira
I met from sneaking into a party that I probably shouldn't be at. Cause I was like 17 or 16. I did that a lot.
Gabby
Is she the photographer? Yeah. Okay. Yes.
Grace
She's wonderful.
Barbie Ferreira
And we still have a relationship to this day. We still like, shoot together and stuff. So it was like my first editorial
Grace
shoot and I started doing that for more artistic id. Like girls in bedrooms. Kind of really fun stuff. And then I eventually got signed to willame. I was 18.
Barbie Ferreira
After trying really hard, I had to
Grace
literally had totally 10 editorials to before
Barbie Ferreira
people were like, maybe she could make us a. A dollar.
Gabby
Isn't that crazy? And it's like, what do you mean? I. I come from nothing. I have no money. How am I supposed to build this? Like, put this together? You see my best pictures. You see me like, come on, you're gonna make me. You're gonna make money struggle.
Barbie Ferreira
I was literally like, please. I was like, I was doing like 17 magazine pear shaped photo shoots. You know, like hourglass pear shape.
Grace
I'm like, they're like, who's a bubble pony?
Barbie Ferreira
Like, I'm trying here. And eventually I got assigned to Wilhelmina. And then I started working a lot of E. Com.
Grace
Like, at the time it was just like for everyone.
Gabby
I have a wet cough, Everything's fine, and that's okay.
Barbie Ferreira
I vape and smoke too much weed.
Gabby
So kind of my conscience smoking. I'm like, I guess I should stop.
Grace
I love smoking.
Gabby
Me too.
Grace
What can we say?
Gabby
No. Like, I like to inhale things.
Grace
I love to have something in my fingers like this.
Gabby
It's something to do and it's like an excuse to take a break. Go outside. Yes. If I could take anything in, like food, any kind of substance in through smoking, I would do it.
Grace
Oh, I would do it. I love to smoke. I grew up in a smoky childhood too, so everything was smoke filled. It brings me much comfort.
Gabby
Right.
Barbie Ferreira
But my voice, as you can hear, have been through it. My 12 octaves.
Grace
It's like down here.
Gabby
I should take a break.
Barbie Ferreira
I sound like that 20. Like, I sound like an old smoker's voice. But it's part of my charm. Part of my charm. He modeling.
Gabby
Boring. Boo.
Barbie Ferreira
But yeah, then I did that.
Gabby
No, because E Com. I feel like even I was listening to something and you brought it up and he was like, what's E. Com? It's like, loser, loser.
Grace
How else do you buy clothes?
Gabby
Literally, Come on.
Barbie Ferreira
Someone that you're buying the clothes from, hopefully is someone wearing it now. It's just like, I. I was just
Gabby
going to say that doesn't work for me. Like. Yes, you were like the original kind of like, what model? Whatever for AI.
Barbie Ferreira
Oh, my God. Really? I was modeling for AI without knowing they were harvesting my data. I was a plan in the technology industry to AI.
Gabby
You knew that.
Barbie Ferreira
I didn't. I first hear.
Grace
Well, I hear even like in that
Barbie Ferreira
time there were murmurings of like, they're going to get rid of E Comm models. We're all like.
Grace
And they were starting to be people, like, putting clothes on mannequins. First of all, it never works.
Gabby
Yeah.
Grace
If I'm an online shopper all the time, I need to see it on a person.
Barbie Ferreira
Even when I'm on the real real.
Grace
It's really hard for me to envision
Barbie Ferreira
what this looks like. I understand. It's like vintage, yada, yada.
Grace
I want to see a person wearing the clothes.
Gabby
Yeah. No, I agree. Because then you're not as, like, drawn to it. I do think there's like a block or even whatever on, like, can you imagine big campaigns with an AI model? It's like, no, sorry. I do need someone. Like, I look up to girl.
Grace
I'm scared.
Gabby
Mia Goth.
Grace
Yeah. Like, but I'm scared because a lot of people older than a certain age really buy the like, AI and the filters and everything. Like, I posted like a picture of me like, super yassified. Like, I don't know.
Barbie Ferreira
You're like, gorgeous and no I literally go, is this.
Grace
And my mother, everyone I know that's over the age of like 45 was like, it's you, baby. You look amazing.
Barbie Ferreira
And I was like, that's not it. No, I don't blindness. Like, my mom will literally like. And I love her, she loves me. She will post a face app photo
Grace
of me and be like, my daughter.
Barbie Ferreira
She's so gorgeous.
Gabby
She's gorgeous and she looks exactly like this. And she sees it.
Barbie Ferreira
She sees me as there. And I'm like, I. I think it's like a Yassify blindness. And then soon we will never know the AI blindness.
Grace
Pinterest.
Gabby
No, but that's the thing is I feel like they don't even know like how to yassify or that it's a thing.
Barbie Ferreira
Yeah.
Gabby
So they wouldn't know to like put the two together.
Grace
They don't know.
Barbie Ferreira
And we need, I think this is a big thing. We need to like show people this is not what real people think.
Gabby
No, no. Literally, because it is a nuance.
Grace
Yes.
Gabby
Right. It's crazy smooth skin. Do you know Teresa Giudice? Like her facetune?
Barbie Ferreira
Oh, it's great.
Gabby
Oh my God, it's so beautiful.
Barbie Ferreira
There's a lot of queens with great facetune. And the thing is it works for certain people. And then when I see and then I.
Grace
It's so easy.
Gabby
I don't need to get anybody.
Barbie Ferreira
Not just anybody. You gotta like really, first of all, lean it. You have to sure that. Judas. Judas.
Grace
And you have to really, really, really, like lean into it and like do it with your chest.
Barbie Ferreira
Like your videos have to have full glamour.
Grace
Like, you have to continue the bit. Like, I don't want to see it half assed.
Gabby
No, I agree. But it is something. Yeah. That these boomers need to pick up on because even like what we. I feel like the difference between. Oh, there was a documentary on Netflix about this nurse, Lucy Letby.
Grace
Oh, I haven't seen it.
Gabby
Anyways, she was the one that killed all those. Yes. Yeah. But I think she's innocent.
Grace
Yes.
Barbie Ferreira
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Gabby
Wait, after the doc, a lot of people think she's innocent.
Barbie Ferreira
The true crime.
Grace
Gabby Wendy.
Barbie Ferreira
Yes.
Gabby
And I think they're retrying her.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Gabby
Because like apparently, however, if this like any kind of health care worker that's been like indicted or accused of anything, it's only like, like 1 in 10 or something that are guilty. They're like almost always the found innocent. So the fact that she's in jail is crazy.
Grace
Yeah.
Gabby
And like she just didn't it wasn't her fault.
Grace
I need to really tap into this because I love going down a Reddit thread of just like. And just going down and down the
Barbie Ferreira
TikTok and then just going so down.
Grace
Hours later.
Gabby
Coming up for air, literally at 2am
Grace
I have my decision of who I
Barbie Ferreira
think is guilty or not. Like, I. I love that.
Gabby
And so you should watch.
Barbie Ferreira
Yes, yes, I'm vaguely aware.
Gabby
Yeah, no, you already know the story. You should. It was really interesting to watch. But they have like, they used AI in a way instead of like just using this person who didn't want to be on camera, instead of just like blocking out her face or blurring it. Yeah, they did like an AI mold of her. Oh, no, it's like one is okay. They did this and then literally later in the docu, they had pictures that they were filming, like hand pictures. And I swear she was in.
Barbie Ferreira
They forgot.
Gabby
Yeah, we can see what she actually looks like.
Barbie Ferreira
I think I have seen a clip of this.
Grace
Does it look like someone's wearing a
Barbie Ferreira
hyper realistic skin mask over it, but, like, in a virtual reality way?
Gabby
Yeah. Oh, I like it. I'm afraid. Your mom would buy it.
Grace
My mom would buy it.
Barbie Ferreira
My grandma's like, oh, that's gorgeous. My grandma's gonna be like, oh, the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.
Gabby
Literally. Yeah. And it's just a little different, but, like, I like it.
Barbie Ferreira
They should put that on me for every role that I do now. Just the AI like, skin mask.
Gabby
Yes.
Grace
You look beautiful.
Gabby
But I was surprised. I'm getting over. I'm getting over the bronchitis.
Barbie Ferreira
It's okay, baby. You're good.
Gabby
So I want to get into like, Mile end Kicks. Okay, so you filmed it how long ago?
Grace
A year and a half ago. Maybe two years almost. It was a summer.
Barbie Ferreira
It was two summers ago.
Gabby
Okay. Did it feel like forever for it to come out? Because it came out in Canada.
Barbie Ferreira
It came out in Canada.
Grace
It came out tiff. It actually didn't because Phase of death
Barbie Ferreira
actually we shot even longer ago. So then I was for Mile and Kicks.
Grace
I was like, oh, what a fast turnaround.
Barbie Ferreira
I was like, we went straight to the film festival. We got, you know, acquired. It went. And now we have like, a date. I was actually kind of like, surprised
Grace
because a lot of the things sometimes
Barbie Ferreira
take a little bit longer. But I think with indie films, it's just like a little bit easier to go through the film festival and have
Grace
it come out in different ways.
Barbie Ferreira
But yeah, it was. I like, have. I. I Distinctly remember it because it was like such a fun summer in Montreal, which I really enjoy.
Gabby
Yes. Do you love Montreal? I do, yeah.
Grace
I actually really do. I used to go when I was an econ model back for this like lingerie brand. And I was like a kid who like didn't even know what I was up to. I was just like getting like, you know, drunk there because the drinking age was like 19 or 18, so I
Barbie Ferreira
was like, I think 19. 19 year old lingerie model. And I was just fucked up. I was just like. And so I recall that. And then I like couldn't. Couldn't do that again because of the nature of the work.
Grace
But it was. I got to really explore it.
Barbie Ferreira
It was really, really, really fun. And like, also the cast was really
Gabby
fun to be like French Canadian.
Grace
Juliet is in Robert and so Juliet's
Gabby
like the queen of your roommate.
Barbie Ferreira
Yeah.
Gabby
Yes. Everyone was so good.
Grace
She's really amazing. Like, red room. She's really just incredible. And she's like the queen of Montreal.
Barbie Ferreira
Especially like in Mile End. She like knows everyone. Like everywhere you walk it's just like, Juliet, Juliet. You know what I mean? It's like literally. So it was fun to have like an insider tea. I was like, this is my cool girlfriend. She like runs these streets or whatever.
Gabby
We're on the legs.
Grace
Check the list.
Gabby
Yeah, Check it again. Fair Matt by name.
Grace
Yeah.
Barbie Ferreira
With my girl Juliet too.
Gabby
Yeah.
Grace
Candace, sweetheart, you know.
Gabby
Yeah. Bonjour. Did you learn any French? You spoke a little. Okay, maybe.
Barbie Ferreira
No, I feeding you the line.
Grace
I like spoke it so badly. Obviously. I know that Grace doesn't speak any French, but also Canadians learn French, like Spanish, like for Americans. So they have like a little bit of like Puerto ear albano.
Barbie Ferreira
You know, that kind of vibe.
Gabby
Yes, yes.
Barbie Ferreira
So I wanted to do the French version of Pedo IR Albano. So I was like, how do I do that? And so I tried to just kind
Grace
of sound out the words.
Barbie Ferreira
I mean, I really know next to nothing with French. I see Portuguese, which is like a
Grace
little bit simple, but I also had to like, make sure I wasn't speaking
Barbie Ferreira
Portuguese with a French accent because that's not great. So it was.
Grace
But to be honest, I just didn't
Barbie Ferreira
have to speak it. So I actually don't know any. If anyone wants to.
Gabby
Yeah, my wife Robbie's from Montreal. Yeah, I didn't know that. Yes.
Barbie Ferreira
Quebecois.
Gabby
She went to like grade school, kind of part of grade school and high school, and then she went to Miguel. Oh, God. Yeah. She can speak French, but It's like, that makes what you're saying, because it doesn't sound like other French.
Barbie Ferreira
No, it does not sound like other French at all.
Grace
My French friends who watch the movie
Barbie Ferreira
can't really understand the French parts that well, but they're also not, like, French, like, from France. They're, like, American French. So we don't know the truth here. We don't know the truth, but there's like.
Grace
I mean, within, like, Quebec, there's, like, such cool.
Barbie Ferreira
Like, it's just like a different version of the language that's, like, so. So based off of where they live that it's so cool. Like, there's. It's like a pretty small community. And, you know, we got the whole
Grace
crew is French Canadian pretty much, apart
Barbie Ferreira
from maybe a couple people, but it was just really sick. And the bagels there are so fire.
Gabby
Oh, my God. Oh, I bet.
Grace
Oh, I had so many, I think.
Gabby
Yes. And smoking cigs the whole time, baby.
Grace
I was smoking cigs.
Gabby
Oh, my God. And being in Canada, I was shooting a TV show for five months in Toronto.
Grace
How was.
Gabby
Great. I love Toronto so much. I mean, Montreal. And that's what I was gonna say. It's so funny. Cause was his name Hugo, the boyfriend? What was his name?
Barbie Ferreira
Archie or Hugo? Hugo, the French Canadian one.
Gabby
Yeah, yeah, yeah. When he was so pissed at you for moving in. Like, all these white people want to colonize Cabanak. It's like, that is Montreal. That's why they. Everything is still French. They will not give it up.
Grace
And I like that. There's a cool history of, like, that I learned about, like, just Canadians in general, because originally the movie was called
Barbie Ferreira
Anglophone and which is like, Francophone. Anglophone. Anglophone. You speak English and, like, you know, you basically, like. I just learned a lot about, like, the, like, Quebec and Ontario and all of that together and kind of like
Grace
the nuances of it.
Barbie Ferreira
And so, yeah, they're trying to preserve
Grace
the culture of, like, French Canadians.
Barbie Ferreira
And I think that's sick.
Gabby
And no, it feels like France when you go there. I'm like, I've been to Paris once. Like, everyone's so chic. Like, the young kids are staying out till 6am yes, they are smoking skinny cigs. Like, nobody speaks English. The signs are in French.
Grace
And I think it's a law that you have to have French signs on just to. To, like, preserve it. I had no idea about any of this.
Barbie Ferreira
No. The average American doesn't even know they speak French in Canada.
Gabby
No, you just think it' place. And Then you go and you're like, why? Like, I feel like it's like a joke.
Grace
Yeah.
Barbie Ferreira
It's like, it's like, wait, why is everyone.
Grace
I like, went to a public school.
Barbie Ferreira
Like, I went to like pretty low income public school my whole life. I remember the first time I went, I was like, wait, why are people speaking French here? I thought this was Canada.
Gabby
Literally anything of Canada, we don't learn
Barbie Ferreira
anything about anybody, like straight up. So it's really you just a.
Gabby
Or nothing you say, or nothing.
Barbie Ferreira
So I was like, I, I am glad that I got a little bit of a taste before because I literally from going to public school in America for so long, I, I, no one ever mentions that there are French speakers in Canada.
Gabby
No one. Yeah.
Barbie Ferreira
And I went. And I was like, yo, something's a
Gabby
little off here, right?
Barbie Ferreira
I'm like, am I in the right place?
Gabby
And yes. How did I get to France?
Grace
I literally didn't know. I was like, this is so the first time there.
Barbie Ferreira
I mean, obviously when I went back, I had a, I'm a little bit older. I knew, I knew. I got, you know, I got learned. I, I read, I read Canadian history.
Gabby
Right? Yeah.
Barbie Ferreira
Did you? No, no, I just got other people
Gabby
to tell me, but they're really proud. They're proud people.
Grace
I love it.
Gabby
Yeah, no, same, I'm like, if things go right, because Robbie's a citizen. So it's like, I don't know, we get a blackout, we're going to war, like, I guess we're going to Canada.
Grace
That's such. And it's right there.
Gabby
And yeah, it's really. And there's lots of production in Canada these days.
Grace
Production.
Gabby
Nice people, right? Nice. So nice. Whenever I was on a plane to go to Canada, a man every time would ask me if I would want to, if they, they would put my carry on for me.
Grace
Oh, that's so sweet.
Gabby
Never coming back to the States. Never, not once has a guy ever asked me. And this thing is like, who knows what I have in there? But it's gotta go like to the stomach, to the chest, to the head.
Barbie Ferreira
Yeah. And then you're like, yeah. Balancing act, literally.
Gabby
And nobody asks if you need help but the Canadians.
Barbie Ferreira
Yeah.
Grace
Well, I also, I noticed this with like, when I'm going to New York, Louisiana. Men will trample me to go in
Barbie Ferreira
front of the door.
Grace
Excuse me.
Barbie Ferreira
And then, you know, you go to the south and men with like cowboy hats opening the door for you. My lady, like, please. And I'm like, okay, I'm like, literally, I'll be in New York, and a man will trample me to go in front of me to the same place.
Gabby
Right.
Barbie Ferreira
Excuse me.
Gabby
Literally, I'm a. I'm a woman.
Grace
I'm a lady.
Barbie Ferreira
Also, like, what. Where are you going?
Grace
Where are we all going?
Barbie Ferreira
To the same place.
Grace
We don't need to. Trampling me, like, literally, like, pushing me
Barbie Ferreira
out of the way, like, in their.
Grace
Their giant backpack. I'm like, what happened to just, like,
Gabby
being polite and be a man? Be a man and get a wallet.
Grace
Just literally be like, walk off. Don't push me out of the way
Barbie Ferreira
to get in front of a door.
Gabby
Oh, it's terrible. Walking on the sidewalk with a man that's small and he's coming towards you. He's not moving out of the way. You have to move around him.
Grace
Oh, I can't.
Gabby
Excuse me.
Barbie Ferreira
I can't do it.
Grace
And I notice it every time at the airport. And I notice when men are very,
Barbie Ferreira
very kind and very gentleman.
Grace
Y. And I'm like, oh, yes, we're not
Barbie Ferreira
in LA no more.
Gabby
No.
Grace
Right?
Barbie Ferreira
No, we're in Canada. Somewhere else.
Gabby
Yes. Just not here. No. I feel like immediately when you get there, you feel, like, safer also, because there's no guns.
Grace
Well, that's the thing. I used to, like, literally, like, talking
Barbie Ferreira
to people outside of America about guns is the craziest thing, because to them, it's like, such a foreign. I'm like, oh, we like. I'm constantly like, oh, there are people with guns here.
Gabby
Yeah, everybody has a gun.
Barbie Ferreira
Everybody has a gun.
Gabby
Not me, but it's like, should I get.
Barbie Ferreira
Not me. No. But, like, at this point, if everyone has a gun, what is the girl to do?
Gabby
Yeah, I'm not gonna be the last one to get a gun, I'll tell you that. That much.
Grace
I can't even shoot again, I'll be honest.
Gabby
Yeah.
Barbie Ferreira
I literally went to a shooting range
Grace
once, and I thought I would be cool. I thought it'd be cool.
Barbie Ferreira
I had a panic attack. I know. I literally started sweating.
Gabby
Oh, my God.
Barbie Ferreira
I'm not that kind of girl. I can't even play violent video games. I'm playing Pocopia right now, which is
Grace
the Pokemon Animal Crossing.
Gabby
Okay.
Barbie Ferreira
That's my kind of thing.
Gabby
Yes.
Grace
Building a island, keeping my Pokemon happy. No guns. But to them, it's like, you know, they're like, oh, my God, did you hear there's a shooting? I. I'm like, babe, this is every day. Like, actually, we are desensitized to it because it's like, this is what happens all the time.
Gabby
Oh, my God. Actually, like, another. What is School shooting. It's terrible. Any kind of mass shooting where, like, whenever something comes across my. My whatever phone, I'm like, thank God it's not la, or thank God I wasn't there. It's like you thank your lucky star when you get a notification that it wasn't you, because you know it could
Barbie Ferreira
be and you get scared.
Grace
You ever had the app, Citizen? Yeah, I can't have it.
Barbie Ferreira
Yeah, can't have it.
Gabby
I turned off my notifications and it's much better because I'm nosy.
Grace
Yeah.
Gabby
Like, if something were to go around, around, then I'll look it up. I never find anything. Yeah.
Grace
I. Citizen. I think during the pandemic, I downloaded
Barbie Ferreira
it and just caused, like, a psychosis in me where I was like, man with machete, 10ft away all the time.
Gabby
Yes.
Barbie Ferreira
So I was very. It was very scary. I, like, I had to, like, not go on. Citizens. I'd rather not know what's going on. And I get, like, the helicopters around me and I'm like, none of my business, Gary. None of my business.
Gabby
Yeah, let's hope and pray it's not coming after me.
Barbie Ferreira
I hope not. Oh, yeah. I'm like, outside like hell.
Gabby
Because it could be like, I didn't do it.
Barbie Ferreira
I didn't do it, I swear. Canada is really funny because it's like just a sweet. Like, it's like the. Like, if there's like a little devil and an angel, it's like us. The little devil and the angel on your shoulder is Canada is so true. Yeah.
Gabby
Yeah. Have you been to Toronto?
Grace
I did for the movie for a couple of days. It was actually my first time in Toronto.
Gabby
Oh, my God, I love it. They have the best shopping. The best vintage shopping. It's cute.
Grace
Yes.
Gabby
Good coffee, good food. Everything's like. Just doesn't have, you know, whatever. Whatever pesticides or the GMOs. Whatever the.
Grace
That's where I see. That's. When I was in Toronto, I remember being. I was in the bath and I
Barbie Ferreira
had a really long day. I was like, I'm gonna order some McDonald's.
Grace
And it didn't hit.
Gabby
Yeah, no, that's. No, we're like, we need that.
Grace
I need the Red 40.
Gabby
Yeah, it was.
Barbie Ferreira
There was clearly no Red 40 in it. I could tell by the look of it. I'm like, something's off.
Grace
This looks too natural.
Gabby
My hot Cheetos are, like, pink.
Grace
They're like a natural maroon it's like
Barbie Ferreira
a dusty, like I'm like a cayenne color.
Grace
No, no, no, no, no.
Barbie Ferreira
I want. And I, I honestly, whenever I leave the country, I do feel the lack of red 40. Yeah, know I do. I'm like, good. Like I need a little hit of a red 40 here and there.
Gabby
No, it's like a drug.
Grace
Of course it didn't comfort me without the red 40. And I remember being in the bath eating my nuggets and just being like this doesn't really.

Or I'm just scrolling through TikTok.
Gabby
Yeah. Literally, I'm like, I'm gonna take a 20 minute bath. Like, five minutes later, I'm like, I gotta get outta here.

I'm literally looking up what that lady did, the nurse did for hours in the bathtub.
Gabby
And then I'm like, you're pruning when you get out. You're like, but I know.
Barbie Ferreira
I now know.

I know she's innocent.

Grace
Well, yeah, that's like the whole point, right? So, like, I love, like an online sleuth.
Barbie Ferreira
I like, think if I had more time, I'd probably be solving more crimes online.
Gabby
What's your, like, favorite crime?
Barbie Ferreira
My favorite cr.
Grace
I also, I always think it's really fun when people just disappear.
Gabby
Yeah.
Grace
Because what happened?
Barbie Ferreira
Right?
Gabby
Where did they go?
Grace
Where did they go? They were like. There's like this, like, famous, like, story.
Gabby
I love those.
Grace
Like, she's hiking and then. This is the last image you've ever seen of her?
Barbie Ferreira
Like, what? Like Bigfoot is real?
Grace
Literally, Bigfoot took her. There's that one where they were all in the mountain. I think it was like maybe like 12 Russian people. And then they all, like, randomly.
Barbie Ferreira
Half of them disappeared and they all died. But it was like, really, like they were naked, like, you know, half a mile away from the tent. Like, what happened?
Grace
No blood. Like, what. What could have occurred?
Barbie Ferreira
They think it's like psychosis from being too cold.
Grace
Oh, that kind of shit I eat up.
Gabby
Yeah, that kind of shit. My favorite.
Grace
It's my fucking favorite.
Gabby
Have you seen the one where this girl disappeared from the cruise? No. I love that.
Grace
Oh, so many witnesses, but no one knows where.
Gabby
Yes. Also on Netflix. You should watch. It's crazy, but it's pretty clear she was sex trafficked. Yeah.
Grace
Like, taken style. Oh, that's like, scary. That's so scary.
Barbie Ferreira
Did she go with her family?
Gabby
She went with her family. And then, like, the dad Woke up at 3:00am and, like, the brother was in bed, but she wasn't and her shirt was there and they couldn't find her. Ugh. But I forget because somehow she got off on a stop.
Grace
She got off on a stop and never came Back to the cruise.
Barbie Ferreira
Yes.
Gabby
But they like, they were looking, looking, looking. So this is like over years. And then finally they. I don't know, they got some kind of a tip to the island that she was at. And they had a website, these sex tracks.
Barbie Ferreira
Wait, I do.
Grace
I did.
Barbie Ferreira
I watched so much stuff. Yes.
Gabby
And it was her.
Grace
And they're trying to find the IP address and like, that she was there. Oh my.
Barbie Ferreira
I did watch it. I'm getting chills.
Gabby
Yes.
Barbie Ferreira
It's all coming back to me.
Grace
I watch too much stuff and thus I forget. And I'm also. Me smoking weed.
Gabby
No, me too. I can never remember anything. I'm like, sorry, baby.
Grace
I have watched a movie 30 minutes and been like, oh, my God.
Barbie Ferreira
I've seen.
Gabby
Takes that long to realize, whoa, this is familiar. I can predict every single thing.
Grace
I know this one because of the IP address.
Barbie Ferreira
And it was like online and the
Grace
family never stopped looking and was like, have you seen this woman? Have you seen this woman? I recall, I recall.
Barbie Ferreira
Oh, my God, I'm getting chills.
Gabby
Yeah, but there was like a number on this sex. Sex trafficking website and they didn't call, right? Or maybe, maybe they did and it was just like, cut out.
Barbie Ferreira
It was just like.
Gabby
Yeah, it didn't lead anywhere. But it's like there was a phone number. Like, did you call.
Grace
But did you call. Did you call from a different number and like called from multiple numbers? See, what's up? Like, why is there a number on the sex trafficking website? For like sex trafficking, I assume, right?
Gabby
Just on a website. Can you do that?
Barbie Ferreira
Just openly like this?
Gabby
I don't think, like, I mean, you can assume the girls are sex trafficked, but I guess it's just like, yeah, like a prostitution website. But is it legal to do that online?
Grace
No, but I think, yeah, she wasn't in the US right? She was somewhere they like.
Gabby
Yeah. So maybe that's it.
Grace
I, like, a mystery is always just
Gabby
so it is because it's like real life.
Grace
Because you'll never know the answer. And that's always fun. It's like when you like have, like when you can like really like, think about. I actually got into a rabbit hole. This might be like super like left
Barbie Ferreira
field, but I got into a rabbit
Grace
hole about these, this podcast that I started listening to. And this is like outside of. It's outside of my, my knowledge of scope of anything, but it's about like basically talking about how a lot of people are non verbal.
Barbie Ferreira
I knew you were gonna say that.
Gabby
I think I'm a Witch. I knew you were gonna talk about that one.
Grace
And that they are like magical beings.
Gabby
Right.
Grace
And then I, I by myself was
Gabby
like, this is so incredible.
Grace
Like, I'm listening to this podcast. I'm like, oh my gosh.
Gabby
Yes.
Grace
People have this incredible, like, third eye. They like, are, you know, reading minds. I then go down this rabbit hole.
Gabby
She's a scammer.
Barbie Ferreira
It's.
Grace
Oh. And it's been since the beginning of time, they've been like, my child is the next coming of Jesus. And this is what. And it's not conscious. It's a subconscious thing. And it was the most interesting thing I've ever.
Gabby
Wait, so it was saying that, like, the parents think that like, of their child.
Grace
Well, the mystery is still there. Are they reading minds or not?
Barbie Ferreira
Probably not.
Grace
But the idea is that it's never been been studied because the caretaker is always in the room.
Barbie Ferreira
Exactly.
Grace
And you can give kind of small signs of things.
Gabby
It's not like, objective. There's bias everywhere. And obviously as a caretaker, you have a better relationship with the non verbal child. So they're gonna look at you, you're gonna understand what they're saying.
Grace
You're gonna mind.
Gabby
Right.
Grace
Subconscious. I don't think the caretakers are like
Barbie Ferreira
necessarily trying to scam people, but they're.
Grace
It's like a subconscious shame.
Gabby
She's a scammer. The one who did. Who like, narrated the podcast.
Grace
Yeah.
Gabby
She's not even a doctor and she rich as hell. Oh my God. She funded this study. And like, the guy that she had interviewing was like the videographer and using him as a witness.
Grace
I bought the videos.
Barbie Ferreira
The Raw foot. I like, literally was like, I gotta investigate this. Because I was like, this is too good to be true.
Grace
I used to it. I bought into it. I was like, this is. And I watched the videos, I watched the document. I was like, oh my gosh, this is incredible. Like, how are we not talking about this? It's actually a way of abusing people who are non. I went down like a crazy rabbit
Barbie Ferreira
hole and it really, like, told me
Grace
about the human psyche and how subconscious
Barbie Ferreira
things can really happen when it, when two people are really close. And I just thought it was like the most interesting thing. I literally bought. I spent like $10 to, to like, watch all the tapes. I was like, they are in the room. They are in the room. They're right there. Oh my God.
Grace
They're not outside the room. And like, it slowly unraveled. And then I went down this Reddit thread about how like, this has Been happening since like ancient times where, you know, people have been like, this is,
Barbie Ferreira
is like an oracle, right?
Grace
Like, this person, like, my daughter's an oracle.
Barbie Ferreira
And it's really just a subconscious kind of almost like Ouija board effect. So I thought that was a pretty interesting mystery.
Gabby
Yes.
Barbie Ferreira
That I thought was like real, like
Grace
about the human brain.
Gabby
Right, the brain. No, I didn't read that part or like hear that part, but that makes sense.
Barbie Ferreira
I'm so down. Me in the bath, just like going down, just like figuring out like, you know, really deep psychiatry theory.
Gabby
So told you will not get out.
Barbie Ferreira
Yeah, that one. Like, still. I still think about it.
Gabby
I'm like, wow. Yeah, Well, I did like, right when it first came out, I feel like everyone was talking about it. And then you got to episode like three or four and you're like, this seems weird things a little off. Right.
Grace
And it was kind of like, almost like it was like exploitative in a little bit. And I kind of. I started picking up on that because I was really into it and I was like, this is so wonderful.
Barbie Ferreira
And like, I thought it was like
Grace
a really scientific, scientifically based podcast. And then being like me down the Reddit threads, being like, I've been lied to.
Gabby
Right? No, literally.
Grace
It's even more complicated than that. It's not that I've been lied to. It's like everyone's living in this reality that is being constructed by very vulnerable people. It just honestly was a really interesting. I've never thought of it like that and I love, like, I really thought
Barbie Ferreira
it was really interesting.
Gabby
Yeah. Well, and if, you know, if you're non verbal, it's not like you can consent to something like this or like be able to say your piece and like what you think about it. So to your point. Yeah. Like, it's is exploitative.
Grace
It's extreme. I mean, I think since the beginning of time, it's been like a method of. It's just interesting that humans will always
Barbie Ferreira
have this, like, kind of. We all kind of do the similar things just in different societies.
Grace
And like even having like an oracle
Barbie Ferreira
or like a psychic and having that
Grace
and being kind of like, you know, these magical thinking thoughts are just really. I mean, I bought it.
Gabby
Yeah. No, I feel like everybody, like my friend was just listening to it and she. What is it called? I need to tell people. The telepathy tapes.
Barbie Ferreira
The telepathy tapes, yes.
Gabby
Was just listening to it. She was like, this is so crazy. You have to listen. And I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. You Listen up here.
Barbie Ferreira
Yeah.
Gabby
And I still don't think she believed me, but a lot of people don't. Yeah. Because it is. It's something like. Like you said, there's so much history, maybe a subconscious way to it like, that you want to believe it.
Grace
You don't want to believe someone is doing that.
Barbie Ferreira
It's the same thing like Munchausen by Proxy.
Grace
You don't want to believe. But the thing is, like, you know, people are so complicated.
Barbie Ferreira
And that's what I find really interesting in the world is like, that's why
Grace
I crime podcast and just like, kind of like even. Or watch. Listen to them and watch like, true crime documentaries and stuff like that. Because I think that, like, there's so much capacity and such in. In human world for things that we don't even, like, register because it's like billions of people and they all have their own lives. It's like how people react to how they're. They're raised or their circumstance.
Gabby
Yes.
Barbie Ferreira
Very interesting.
Gabby
Yes. That's why I like Housewives.
Barbie Ferreira
Exactly. That's exactly what I'm talking about.
Grace
Yes.
Gabby
I feel like it's an.
Grace
It's an analog anthropological analysis, right?
Gabby
Yes. Of each personal. Like how you interact together. Then you learn about your backstory. It's like, okay, it's obvious. Like, you learn about their bad relationship. It's like, this is why you're acting like this.
Grace
And then you like reality shows. The, like, they like. It's like an experiment of, like, what happens when you put people without their, like, loved ones or any contact and
Barbie Ferreira
just pump them with dreams.
Gabby
Right. Literally. And stir the pot behind the scenes.
Barbie Ferreira
Just literally serving them one other martini and just see what happens on camera. I mean, I love.
Grace
Because it is kind of like. I mean, it's just such a fun thing to watch because it's like real.
Barbie Ferreira
Like, even though I know producers obviously are like, whispering people's ears. I guess, like, because I'm in showbiz, I can kind of see through that and see the reality of what's happening.
Grace
But I just think it's so interesting.
Barbie Ferreira
I've always been really attracted to that, like vlogs and people who make like,
Grace
long form vlogs on YouTube. I could sit and watch. I'm dead like a Trisha Paytas. I grew up watching just like 45 minutes of her, like, sitting on the kitchen floor and just like, analyzing the human condition.
Gabby
No, she's amazing. I was just. Well, I did watch the first episode of Euphoria.
Grace
Oh, did you?
Gabby
I haven't Seen it yet.
Grace
I haven't seen it yet.
Gabby
Oh, well, then I don't know if I'll tell you, but something reminded me of Trisha Paytas. I know she's.
Grace
I think she's in the season.
Gabby
She's in it, but this was. Well, I guess they don't have. Anyways, did you know?
Barbie Ferreira
I'm like, I didn't watch it yet.
Gabby
I know. Speaking of Trisha Paytas, but did you know that she was, like, used to be, like, kind of a superhero on Hollywood Boulevard?
Barbie Ferreira
I did.
Grace
Yeah.
Gabby
Right. Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Barbie Ferreira
She's mentioned.
Gabby
Explain to people who don't.
Grace
I know Lore.
Gabby
Yes. Who don't know everything. It's like, no. She's been in every.
Grace
America's Got Talent.
Gabby
Yes. Big Brother.
Grace
She was in not Intervention. Like my crazy. Was it Obsession 1.
Gabby
Oh, right. To tanning. The tanning. Right. Was it tanning? It was tanning. Okay.
Barbie Ferreira
She.
Gabby
Wow. Yeah. She did it all to, like, try and break through, and here she is.
Grace
She's now she's like a mom and, like, all these things that she's doing really well. I've been following her for so long that it's like. I know.
Barbie Ferreira
Like, I, like, frequently have had nights where I'm like, are you familiar, Paytas? No.
Grace
Let me show you.
Barbie Ferreira
I'll take you through a journey through YouTube videos. I'm like, let's first start at the reality shows. And this is like.
Grace
And the ones she was just, like, out there, like, hundreds of them. I think she was just, like, doing, like, little guest spots on, like, America's Got Talent or, like, whatever and, like, random stuff. So she was always just like. She wasn't like, nathan for you episode, was she?
Gabby
Yes, she was. Oh, my God, yes, she was. Wait. Iconic.
Grace
She's incredible. She really working and, like, you know, so.
Barbie Ferreira
So I. I've watched hours of her just sitting around talking. She's a fabulously entertaining woman.
Gabby
She really is. And she talks a mile a minute. And she's like, like, she's a. I mean, not only does she talk fast, but she's like, a good talker and, like, a good conversationalist.
Grace
I like that she's so earnestly herself, and I hate when people have, like, a bit and, like, you could just
Barbie Ferreira
tell this is really who she is.
Gabby
No.
Barbie Ferreira
Yeah. As a longtime fan and lover of Trisha, like, this is who she is, and I respect it. Even if, like, you know, maybe it's not, like, the best choice. It's like, I.
Grace
The domino, like, remember, like, domino.
Barbie Ferreira
I'M like, oh, yeah, that makes perfect sense.
Gabby
Yes. And she had been dying for a Domino's.
Grace
Like, she's gonna dress up as the employee. Why? We don't know.
Gabby
No, we don't.
Grace
We don't know.
Gabby
But those little bits are so good.
Grace
Yeah. And I love watching her in her car and same.
Gabby
Her original mukbangs and, like. Yeah. Embed at night. Yes. Well, back to my line, kid.
Grace
Yes.
Gabby
I. I loved. Wait, what. What was her name? My memory. What was your name?
Grace
My name is Grace.
Gabby
Grace. That's what I thought. I like. She. I feel like you wouldn't expect it maybe going in, but it was, like, quite feminist.
Barbie Ferreira
Yeah.
Gabby
Loved. Naturally. Yeah. I'm like, if she wasn't, like, so obsessed with these, like, D squad boys, she could have been a lesbian.
Grace
She. I think that that may be the future for her is to understand that, like, she just kind of is only
Barbie Ferreira
to them because they're cool and they. She wants that and she doesn't really know what she's attracted to.
Gabby
I loved the part where you were like, do you think, like, you just want to date someone? A band, or do you want to, like, be the guy in the band?
Grace
Yeah, exactly.
Gabby
I feel like that's a very gay thought, you know? It is kind of. Yes. Like gender expression. Like, which one do you kind of
Grace
want to be just, like, tearing through
Barbie Ferreira
Montreal with her French Canadian, like a butch girlfriend? I want it.
Gabby
Literally. She was making me so nervous, though, Grace. I'm like, you have to make some money.
Barbie Ferreira
She, like, oh, and she won't.
Gabby
No, not at all. I mean, it's like, I didn't expect. Well, which. How much are we allowed to talk about it?
Grace
I mean, a little.
Gabby
Right, right, right.
Grace
Let's talk about it.
Gabby
Yeah.
Grace
Yeah.
Gabby
I didn't expect her to, like, whatever, lose the book deal. I thought she was really gonna do it.
Grace
Well, I. I think that I thought
Gabby
that she did hurt.
Grace
I did want her. It's like, it sucks because I really
Barbie Ferreira
did want her to finish a book and because that was her passion. But it is, like, so real to
Grace
be so distracted by absolute garbage. I mean, you look at that. It's like, I felt so, like, when I read it, I felt so, like,
Barbie Ferreira
gross and funny at the same time. Cause I'm like, these sex scenes are so real in a bad way, literally. It just really shows how bad of a decision Grace is making. And I hope that that's a reflection, because we all are, like, idiots. I guess so. Including me.
Gabby
We've all been there, though.
Barbie Ferreira
Babe, we've all been there.
Gabby
No, like, waking up. Yes, well. And waking up next to someone who you're like, oh, like that Chev. What was his Chevy? I'm like, he's gay, isn't he?
Grace
He might be gay.
Gabby
Yeah.
Grace
I think he has a lot to figure out and.
Barbie Ferreira
Yeah, I know he has a lot
Grace
to figure out and people.
Barbie Ferreira
Stanley does such a good job at playing this character. I think he's like, so good. Crazy boyish charm and just like the
Grace
guitar, but then also, like, in the kind of leading her on. But like. Right. It's one of those situations where you. When someone is so desperate that they can't see the truth and they're just trying to force something. And like, every hint of the way, every step of the way, he's been hinting that this is not it for him.
Gabby
No. He's treating her like shit. Yes. She just, like, wants any kind of peace. It's like. Well, I guess I. Oh. Because he said he was celibate because the herpes.
Grace
Yeah.
Gabby
I mean, at the end, it was like our love story.
Grace
Yeah.
Gabby
But also I'm like, you can take meds for that.
Grace
Yeah. And literally, I'm like, yes, he can.
Barbie Ferreira
And yes, he can. And he didn't.
Grace
And.
Barbie Ferreira
And it was. I feel so bad for Devin. He had to, like, walk around with that, like.
Gabby
Yeah.
Grace
It's like a time. It's not a great look.
Barbie Ferreira
Yeah.
Grace
No, but he just sold it. Sweetheart. Rom com.
Gabby
Right.
Grace
Hero.
Gabby
No, it was amazing. It wasn't what I thought it was going to be at all. Really?
Grace
What do you think it was going to be?
Gabby
Alanis Morset.
Grace
No. That's funny because so many people were
Barbie Ferreira
like, Barbie Ferreira, like, stars in Atlantis movie. They're like, you're playing Atlantis more set. You can't sing. I'm like, oh, no.
Gabby
Yeah.
Barbie Ferreira
Oh, no.
Gabby
No.
Barbie Ferreira
Actually not.
Grace
What's going on?
Barbie Ferreira
Yes.
Gabby
Like, to get you there.
Barbie Ferreira
It's just like Alanis is her punk. Like, not she's a pop iconic, but, like, her, like, feminist icon is Alanis. And that's like the driving force of
Grace
her going and being herself in, like, a creative city and then losing it to, like, gross dudes.
Gabby
Oh, God. But it's like you have to go through that to learn. Because also, what. The monologue at the end was so good about the semicircle.
Grace
Yeah.
Gabby
It's like, it's such a good visual. And again, we've all been there.
Grace
Yeah.
Gabby
And it's like, it's the worst feeling in the world because you Feel like you're not being listened to, Nobody cares about you. But I'm like, at this point, like, I just keep myself so far away from the semicircle. Like, I see dudes and run the other way.
Barbie Ferreira
Me too.
Grace
Historically, like, historically, I just. I grew up with all women. I really don't know how to interact
Barbie Ferreira
with a lot of guys.
Grace
And the guys that I do interact with are like hyper specific. Yeah.
Barbie Ferreira
They like, are like, you know, they like the guys that I do see and that I do allow. And first of all, I give them
Grace
a hard time all the time and
Barbie Ferreira
then they love it. Of course.
Gabby
No, but it's like, if you have like a guy friend, you have to tease them a little bit. Like, I know what you're thinking.
Barbie Ferreira
It's.
Grace
You gotta be. You gotta be like, you gotta like,
Barbie Ferreira
let them know their place, like a little bit as a man in the girly group. Because there are guys who are like, like really? I mean, Isaiah, who's staying with me, who's in the movie, he is like the perfect example.
Gabby
Like, which one is he?
Grace
Isaiah's the drummer, the gay guy.
Barbie Ferreira
But he's not really gay. And I'm sorry not to, you know, ruin the illusion, but not to ruin
Grace
the illusion, but he is like, so that, like I. Him and the girls just.
Gabby
It's.
Barbie Ferreira
It's the gays girls in Isaiah.
Grace
He says it all time.
Gabby
I love it.
Grace
Special person.
Gabby
Yes.
Grace
So cool.
Barbie Ferreira
Like my favorite. I love Isaiah so much.
Gabby
No, it's the best. We kind of have a friend like that too. It's like. Okay, I get it. You are like one of the girls, like, really, right? It's like, you're not like, creepy. You're not like, you can just like kick it and hang and like, you actually appreciate women.
Barbie Ferreira
Yeah, no, he like, he like literally, like knows like Cat's Eye songs. It's like, it's like the interests are like, oh. Like the kind of guys that are in my life. I'm like, oh, you, like, have a similar interests and. And. And sensibilities as me as a woman. So.
Gabby
Yes.
Barbie Ferreira
So I love it. Yeah, you can hang.
Grace
I'm like, we can go, like, listen to Zara Larson. Like, you know, I mean, they're like
Barbie Ferreira
into it and it's not even performatively. It's just who they are.
Gabby
Yeah. He could be gay maybe.
Grace
Maybe.
Barbie Ferreira
But he's got.
Grace
He's got his little wife, so it's like.
Gabby
Yeah. And it's like culture, like, I appreciate when culturally clear, like. Yes. In the culture. Because then we have something to talk about. Yeah.
Barbie Ferreira
Or else I'm like, like the big game. I don't know what you guys gambling?
Grace
Yes, Gambling On. On. On, like who's going to win the game.
Gabby
Literally all it is is games.
Grace
It's just gambling.
Gabby
It's baseball, maybe basketball and football.
Grace
It's crazy. Men are gambling at everything too. Like.
Gabby
Yeah, I.
Grace
It's something that is like going. They need to like, talk amongst themselves because I can't, I can't.
Barbie Ferreira
I can't imagine anyone's of making any money.
Gabby
No. And like, I. I know it's an addiction, but it's like how spending money is.
Grace
Your addiction is crazy.
Barbie Ferreira
Right?
Gabby
I mean, I'm a shopaholic. Maybe, but it's like, maybe that's like, it's not losing it. I feel like I get something out of return every single time I don't pay some, like a store money. And you're like, maybe you're gonna get a bag. Maybe, maybe not.
Barbie Ferreira
Like, I love it.
Gabby
It's like, hell, no, that's not fun for me.
Grace
Yeah.
Barbie Ferreira
I grew up with a grandma who loved a slot machine.
Gabby
Oh, okay. My grandma too.
Grace
Oh.
Barbie Ferreira
And that to me is the perfect kind of gambling.
Gabby
I agree.
Grace
I want to sit down. I want and I do it like I to Vegas twice in my life. I've gambled maybe three times my whole life.
Barbie Ferreira
And it's just me sitting at the thought machine pressing a button and losing all my money.
Grace
But you guys, I cannot even imagine
Barbie Ferreira
what it's like to go into a table and put it all on something. I don't even know what the words are.
Grace
But the guys aren't even gambling on games anymore. They're gambling on, like, will it rain tomorrow?
Gabby
No. Anything.
Grace
They will literally gamble on that. And I respect it. But I'm also just like, what are your wives? What's happening with the wives? The girlfriends. They're the ones that are taking the L. Yeah.
Gabby
I mean, that's coming out of her, like, self care. That's coming out of her Botox. That's coming out of her nails. Yeah, that's coming out. Nails are expensive, right? They're so expensive. I have to go on and off. I'm like, if I get my nails done again, like, if I get these off and get. Then I have to like, go back again. That's the problem.
Grace
You gotta keep going.
Gabby
Are we gambling?
Grace
We are gambling. I gotta go get my lash lift every three weeks. Yeah.
Gabby
I mean, do you like a lash lift?
Grace
I've been back in My lash lift game.
Gabby
Okay.
Grace
Mostly. Cause I just love the place.
Barbie Ferreira
Cause it's so cute.
Gabby
Do you have it right now?
Grace
I do.
Gabby
Can I see?
Grace
But I have a little mascara on.
Gabby
Love, love, love.
Grace
I had to put those sunglasses on for you. But I have a little lash lift. And that's just my vibes. So I guess we are gambling.
Gabby
Yeah.
Grace
But I think, no, the service.
Gabby
You feel good, and that's how I'd like to spend all my money.
Barbie Ferreira
To make you feel good.
Gabby
Yes. Self care.
Grace
Yeah.
Gabby
I could walk around. I want a keratin treatment. Oh, I want one, too.
Grace
I've been looking into it. Hair Botox. What's that?
Gabby
Yeah, what is that? I don't know.
Grace
They call it hair Botox.
Gabby
Oh, my God. See, they know how to market. Yeah. They're like, it's like $400 to, like, I don't know, make your hair smooth. And I guess it dries faster. It's like, maybe I won't. But, like, if I get a pay. If I get a good paycheck, I probably will.
Grace
Every time I get a good paycheck, I buy myself a bag.
Gabby
Yes.
Grace
That's, like, my favorite thing. Even if I, like, I've never bought, like, a really super fancy car, like jewelry. I can't do jewelry because I lose it.
Gabby
Yeah.
Grace
But I will.
Barbie Ferreira
I love fashion.
Grace
I love a shoe at a bag.
Gabby
No, I know.
Barbie Ferreira
And I know you do, too.
Grace
I will spend.
Barbie Ferreira
Like, I remember I was, like, asking my friends, like, how much is the most you'll spend on a bag? And I was asking, like, people were like, in the healthcare industry, like, girls
Grace
who, like, are more influencers, like, asking
Barbie Ferreira
a bunch of people. And so we were like, 200 bucks. And then my other friends will be like, any amount for the bag. We don't care.
Grace
No if it's a cute bag.
Barbie Ferreira
And I'm like, unfortunately, that's my mindset as well.
Gabby
It's like, do we need Birkins? I don't know. But, like, what about the small one?
Barbie Ferreira
The small Birkin is cute. I think it's.
Grace
The smaller it is, the more expensive it is.
Gabby
Yeah. I think, like, Kylie Jenner has, like. Remember she had that yellow Birkin that she put on top of her head? And it was silly.
Barbie Ferreira
She's so crazy. She can't take her nowhere.
Gabby
And it was like, $60,000 on her.
Barbie Ferreira
I love that. I. I love.
Gabby
I feel. I'm gonna check the time, but I feel like I could do this all day.
Barbie Ferreira
I love chatting with you.
Gabby
I know. But. Yeah. What Kind of like, do you have, like, a bag that you want now?
Grace
My last big bag purchase was a Chloe bag. That's like my airport bag. It's like, she's big, she's boho. She has, like, a couple charms on her.
Gabby
She's brown, cute.
Grace
She's like, not like the other girl. She's not the Paddington. She's the other one. I don't know her name, but she's just a little different.
Barbie Ferreira
Yeah.
Grace
Right now I want. I want new shoes. But I always want new shoes.
Gabby
Yes. Yeah. What kind of shoe? I don't know. Well, it's like, so you can't. When you see them, I.
Barbie Ferreira
You got to think, right, a lot
Grace
of times, like, I'll be styled in them.
Barbie Ferreira
And I'm like, wait, these are meant for me. Like, these are mine. Right? And then, like, sometimes I don't get
Grace
them, but sometimes I do. What's fun. Thanks. Chris Ran.
Barbie Ferreira
He.
Grace
I see your style.
Gabby
He's so good.
Grace
He's amazing, right?
Barbie Ferreira
Yes.
Grace
Chris, so much. That is like, my king. I've, like, they've been working with him
Barbie Ferreira
for, like, eight years. Like, my entire career being styled has been with him.
Grace
So just.
Barbie Ferreira
It's so fun that I get to like.
Gabby
Yes. Because he styles, like, all the cool girls.
Grace
Yeah.
Barbie Ferreira
Star girly.
Grace
I mean, it's like Christina Aguilera.
Gabby
You do Christina Aguilera?
Grace
Oh, my God, we do Adela. We're on to. Oh, Adela. Yeah.
Gabby
Yeah.
Grace
I'm loving the pop girly. Slater did it. Did you see the Slater?
Gabby
I didn't watch.
Grace
She good? She's really good. I love her new album. She, like, did a crazy coachella's at like 3pm where everyone was fucking going insane.
Gabby
And I saw the video. But, like, what's her. Is her music kind of country?
Grace
No, no, no, not at all.
Gabby
Thank God.
Grace
It's like hyper pop, like sex pop, sexy, like, kind of like 2003. Like, really fun. I think some of it is, like, it's giving like a little Britney. It's giving a little Madonna. It's giving, like, kind of hyper pop to it. She's good, honestly.
Barbie Ferreira
But I just want her set from afar because I didn't go to Coachella. I just was there. Wait, I was there and I left.
Gabby
You were at Coachella?
Grace
Well, I was around the area.
Barbie Ferreira
I was in India and I went somewhere and then I went home. I didn't even go to the festival because I was like, it's a big weekend for me. I, like, I don't need to be Seeing I don't need to be walking around.
Gabby
No.
Barbie Ferreira
My feet are going to hurt.
Gabby
What do you wear? What do you even wear when you leave Coachella?
Grace
Why is it three hours?
Gabby
Yeah.
Grace
If it was easy, if I could just go in and out, right? That would be so easy. I. I will go for. I went for Lana and I was happy to have my feet hurt for hours.
Barbie Ferreira
Happy to do it.
Gabby
Right. Wor it worth it?
Grace
Went with my bestie, who's also like, a huge Lana fan. Happy to do it. But, like, if it's not for me, it's like, that's like my big one.
Gabby
So totally. If it's not Lana, it's bust.
Grace
It's kind of like, okay, I'd rather just get tickets to a smaller, like, venue and not have to deal with coming out anyway. I'll be being party pooper.
Barbie Ferreira
I also, like, had.
Gabby
I'm the same way. I'm like, I will never go to Coachella. We were so close to. We weren't that close to going.
Barbie Ferreira
Kind of like maybe toying with the idea that maybe one day I'll go to Coachella.
Grace
Be cool.
Gabby
Robbie wanted to go to Justin Bieber, so I do love Bieber, but it's like now it's like, who needs to go to Coachella when the cinematography is so good on YouTube?
Barbie Ferreira
That's what I'm saying.
Grace
You can watch this streaming live. Yeah, I would love to have been.
Gabby
I remember watching Lana streaming live a couple years ago. It was not as, like, the actual whatever, like, picture wasn't as good on her as it is now.
Barbie Ferreira
Oh, they like, locked in. They like, figured out how to make it look cinematic so everyone can watch from home. I like.
Grace
Yeah, I've been really a late in life Belieber. I like.
Gabby
Okay, yeah, I do kind of thing.
Grace
I like Justin Bieber. I really like him now.
Gabby
Yeah.
Grace
Ever since, like, the Grammys performance and like, just swag in general, I've been like, oh. I'm like, I'm understanding what's going on here. This is cool.
Gabby
Yes. No, because also, it's like people were complaining about his set. Whatever, whatever. But we haven't really seen, like, we've known him for so long. He's not gonna dance around like he used to.
Grace
I don't want that from him.
Gabby
No. Because now he's a man. Yeah. Like, now he's a dad.
Grace
Grown ass man should not be dancing
Barbie Ferreira
and singing like that. No.
Gabby
If he's doing, like, whatever. Not the running man or whatever. Any kind of like a moonwalk. Dance move.
Grace
Yeah, like no, like, like he's also like in a swag sexy era wife and kid. Like he's a grown ass man.
Gabby
Right.
Grace
I also want to see. I really liked him just like on the, with the like loop machine or whatever you call it. Just like making. I thought that was really cool. I know.
Barbie Ferreira
I'm.
Gabby
I loved his YouTube DJ set.
Grace
It's great.
Gabby
Died for it.
Grace
Love it.
Gabby
Yeah. I rather that we were all like in the living room getting high and he was. Was picking the music naturally. All about himself. He would only pick his music videos in the living room.
Barbie Ferreira
It's like gay guy music video night. I love gay guy music video night. It's like a whole thing the Internet created where it is true. It feels like the girls and the gays, we all like hungry and we just watch music videos.
Gabby
No, I love it. That's what I only want to do when I pull over. Yeah, but they're like watch music videos. I'm like, yeah, like we all sing together and we all like watch our
Barbie Ferreira
favorite music videos and it's fun.

Barbie Ferreira
We're going to the greatest hits. Like Gwen Stefani.
Gabby
I feel like Despacito. One billion views and counting.
Grace
We're music video night is good and I'm glad that Justin Bieber took that and made it into a headlining Coachella.
Gabby
Honestly.
Grace
Hell yeah.
Gabby
Yeah. And maybe he's the only one that could get away with it. But it's like that's because it's Justin Bieber.
Grace
He has so much lore.
Gabby
He.
Barbie Ferreira
He has.
Gabby
Right.
Grace
He has the career to back it up also.
Gabby
Poor thing.
Grace
I feel like he's so young, just getting like over like all the time on the Internet. People were like, you look a lesbian. Like I know that.
Gabby
I know. I had like. I always thought he was just so hot. Yeah, he was a cute guy. Because I didn't know what a lesbian was back then. Here I am, full blown Les.
Barbie Ferreira
We all find out one day, baby.
Gabby
Yeah. Maybe that's why I liked him so much. Apparently he's a lesbian icon.
Barbie Ferreira
He is.
Grace
And that was like a big thing at the.
Gabby
At that time.
Grace
And they were like be so medium.
Barbie Ferreira
Like.
Gabby
Yeah.
Grace
Just being like, just like trying to like be. And he was like what, 16 years old?
Gabby
Right. And he never read is like gay to me. No, like even though not at all. Yes. Again came from nothing. He was, he's so Good at like soccer, skateboarding, instruments. He's just a really talented guy. So, you know, like, the way he dresses, that's just like him. He's not like trying to be anything because that's all he knew.
Grace
And like, you can see him like, grow. And like, I love seeing someone's like, long form career that like, is evolving at all times. And like, we get to like, follow with him. I don't even know how old he is, but, like, I'm probably a similar age to him, so it's just like
Barbie Ferreira
interesting to see and like, I don't know.
Grace
I'm a big believer now. The hate was so forced, you guys. The hate was forced.
Gabby
No, literally, it's the same thing with Chapel Roan. It's forced up now. We can't just be happy for anybody.
Grace
No, we can't. And it's, I think it's just been a long, like it's always been like that. It's like always like, let's tear on whoever is doing the best.
Gabby
And I'm like, you're on top. You're done.
Grace
We all have to be off to open our eyes to that propaganda, people,
Barbie Ferreira
the people of the world.
Grace
Like, we have to open our eyes to the propaganda of like hating someone just, just because they're really big right now. I'm like, right. Like, we had to have some discernment.
Gabby
I agree. He deserves it. I mean, especially like now that we all know his history.
Grace
Yeah.
Gabby
And like, you know, he wants to be a different person now. It's like there's, you can tell before whatever the little music video part, like there was. He wants to make a separation between his past and now.
Barbie Ferreira
Yeah.
Gabby
And I think, imagine being a teenager.
Grace
Imagine being a teenager and you're Justin Bieber. You're a teen, you're a teenager. You're gonna, you're like learning about, like, you're like going through puberty and you're learning about yourself and like having some
Gabby
managing music contracts, like people taking advantage of you.
Grace
Oh, hell no. Like being a teenager who's famous, I like, I really don't envy anyone who
Barbie Ferreira
has like that kind of vibe because it really, I, I, it's, it's hard. And I think kids shouldn't be famous because just.
Gabby
I agree. Look at our child stars. Look at All Amanda by like.
Grace
And some of them are really good. Some of them really do kind of slay.
Gabby
And I like Ariana Grande. Like, I feel like barely made it out.
Grace
You're just, you're set up for failure.
Gabby
Yeah.
Barbie Ferreira
Straight Up.
Grace
You're, like, starting to set up. You're set up for failure. And that's the problem, is that you don't have any guidance. And it's hard to be an adult and famous. I can't imagine being Justin bieber at, like, 15 and the whole world just staring at you and, like, watch you
Barbie Ferreira
make mistakes at 15, 16 years old.
Gabby
You're like, yes. Yeah. So true. And people are telling you what to do and you, like, don't want to make anyone mad, so you just agree.
Grace
Because you're a kid.
Gabby
Right?
Grace
Kids can't make decisions. No, famously, we don't let them.
Barbie Ferreira
We don't let kids. Don't let kids make decisions ever. They're like, literally. Because they can't and they shouldn't.
Grace
So why are they, like big pop stars? I mean, listen, I. I get it. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a child star. I'm so happy I didn't have a job when I was 10.
Gabby
Yeah, you tried really hard, though.
Barbie Ferreira
I did. I tried really hard. It was like a universe being like, please.
Gabby
Yes. That's why I try not to beg for anything too much.
Grace
Because you don't know, right?
Gabby
Because I don't want to wish something bad upon myself.
Barbie Ferreira
I never manifest specific things that are like, project based or, like, specific event based because I'm scared that if I manifest it and it happens, it wasn't meant to be. It's like, bad.
Gabby
Right.
Barbie Ferreira
Does that make sense?
Gabby
No, Total. Like, I have an audition out kind of right now, and I'm like, oh. Which they just don't let you know.
Barbie Ferreira
Oh, they know.
Gabby
Yeah.
Barbie Ferreira
I stopped asking.
Gabby
I know.
Barbie Ferreira
I actually now in my career, I have literally stopped asking about auditions. I used to be like, so how did that.
Grace
I just stopped.
Gabby
Everybody stops asking. But now I did it once, and now that it's like, okay, well, no,
Barbie Ferreira
you really want it.
Gabby
You're like, I know, but I was gonna be like, let me know if there's anything I could do. And I was like, no, no, no, no, no. If it's supposed to happen, it's gonna happen. Because I don't want to wish anything bad upon myself. If it's not supposed to be, be mine. Like, it's not. And that's okay. I'll just be broke for another six months maybe. Which it's like, I'm not broke, but I'm putting.
Barbie Ferreira
I'm putting my spiritually broke.
Grace
Where you're like, what is next?
Barbie Ferreira
We live in a career where it's not like, we, like, have salaries that we can like.
Gabby
Right.
Barbie Ferreira
With healthcare. And it's like, you have to continuously be reinventing yourself, Especially in this world.
Grace
You're, like, relevant one day, the next day you're chopped liver, and people don't even recall you.
Barbie Ferreira
Like, they'll just, like, you know.
Grace
And so it's, like, such a hard industry to navigate. And I think that, like, people don't
Barbie Ferreira
understand that a lot of actors and a lot of musicians actually aren't making as much money as they think.
Podcast Host
Oh, my God.
Gabby
I did my first whatever, like, a 24 indie movie.
Barbie Ferreira
Like, were you paid to be in it?
Gabby
But I don't even know.
Barbie Ferreira
Barely.
Gabby
I mean, I was. But I asked my lawyers. Like, we were on the call. They were like, yeah, you know, you don't have any trailers. I was like, okay, pull up. Yeah, right. I'm like, okay, whatever.
Barbie Ferreira
We set up a little bathroom for you over here if you want to lay your things in the toilet.
Gabby
No, no, literally, we had, like, which. It was an amazing. But to your point, it was an amazing movie. I worked with amazing actors. It was so much fun. We all clicked. There was, like, a green room that we all had to hang out with each other in. I'm like, oh, not these boys. But, like, a week or two in, I was like, okay, they're my family.
Barbie Ferreira
Yes, Yes.
Gabby
I kind of like them.
Barbie Ferreira
Maybe. I understand that.
Gabby
You indie.
Barbie Ferreira
I mean, I've been. I love indie movies, but there are cons to it, which is lower budget, less glamorous.
Grace
And you know what?
Barbie Ferreira
I've just been taking it for the story, of course. It's really hard in the middle of it, and it's really tough. And, like, I'm like, oh, my God. Spent 15 hours running around, like, memorizing all these things. Like, it's, like, so fast. And because it's cheaper to make things fast and to go. It's just, like, so much more than, like, a cushy, like, procedural that you're,
Grace
like, literally showing up and you're like.
Barbie Ferreira
Which is lit, I hope.
Grace
Later in my life. I have incredible procedural.
Barbie Ferreira
I'm Doctor. Doctor whoever.
Grace
I'm here to save your life. I have psychic abilities or something. I could, like, I can. I have telepathy where I have a.
Barbie Ferreira
You know, we're all bearing it all, you know, some kind of doctor who can, like, fix you, like, from her special powers of being invisible or something. I would love that. In my 40s and 50s.
Gabby
Right? That's how you're gonna retire.
Barbie Ferreira
That's like, I. Thank you for having me in mind In a few decades.
Gabby
You work Monday through Friday, maybe like
Barbie Ferreira
in, out, see the kids before school, like, right? I don't start working until you have
Gabby
to buy kids three to pick them up.
Barbie Ferreira
And that's my lunch break. Yeah, people have that. And that like, is the dream. That is the, the act. I think the true actor's dream is not being a movie star. It's having like a really long standing show that you can like literally see your kids and like hang out with
Gabby
them and like, have a normal life.
Barbie Ferreira
I have to get paid handsomely. Yes.
Gabby
That's the dream, right? No, I don't. This is. It was just the first time I've ever like even not. Not heard of an indie movie. But I was like, wait, what is this baby?
Barbie Ferreira
It's giving, you know, it's like, what
Grace
if we make a movie with zero dollars?
Gabby
Right? I mean, some, like, I'm. I'm sure some people didn't even take a paycheck. But with that being said, like, it was amazing and I'm sure, like, I'm never gonna be, you know, on a cast and it was a comedy, so. So we were just laughing our asses off the whole time. It's like, how am I supposed to do anything different after this? But like, I have a bag obsession.
Grace
I also have a bag obsession. I balance these two things as well.
Gabby
I will sell vibrators online, like, if it's gonna be right.
Grace
I love doing a brand deal because it really frees up what I can do. Acting, which is so much more time consuming than doing a brand deal of something that I really like.
Barbie Ferreira
And I always try to have. I always try to work with people that I really like. Actually fuck with the products.
Gabby
Yeah.
Grace
And so, but it's just like the money's there.
Barbie Ferreira
The money's not necessarily in acting. I don't think people realize that, that like all these indie movies. I don't think people can live off of that. Thankfully, I like have the privilege of like having a social media presence. So I kind of can be like a part time influencer, you know, make
Grace
the money while I do these incredible
Barbie Ferreira
indie projects or go to Broadway and do all these things and still like be able to pay my mortgage and my mom's mortgage and maybe buy a bag if I'm lucky.
Gabby
Yeah, you bought your mom house. That's insane and amazing.
Grace
Oh, thank you so much.
Barbie Ferreira
The whole family's there right now.
Grace
I got my aunt there. My grandma stays there.
Gabby
Where is it?
Grace
It's in New York.
Gabby
Okay.
Grace
It's a little bit upstate.
Barbie Ferreira
Not too upstate, but yeah.
Gabby
Oh, my God. How long had you been planning it? Did she, like. Was it a surprise?
Grace
It wasn't a surprise, but I. My mom was, like, living in, like, not the best apartment ever at all
Barbie Ferreira
while I bought my house. And, like, there's. I'm an immigrant child. Immigrant. It's like that. The guilt and the, like. I always knew that I wanted to get my mom a house. It almost didn't feel like. It felt like I had to do it in a way that's, like, just spiritually, I have to give back to my family because of, like, the way that I grew up. So I think a lot of, like, kids from immigrant parents, like, totally. Like, I have friends who are, like,
Grace
Egyptian, and they, like, moved back in with their parents to help pay the mortgage when they, like, lost their job or, like, friends who, like. You know, it's like, I feel like there's this kind of sense of more family unity. So I'm really happy. I honestly, it's made me the happiest.
Gabby
Oh, I bet it's probably, like, the best thing you've ever done, like, for her and Kyne for. For yourself.
Barbie Ferreira
It just feels like a weight of, like, taken off my shoulder. It's like a. It's. Try not to. Obviously, selfishly, it just. A weight, you know, that your family's good. Like, everyone has a place to go. That wasn't necessarily the case.
Gabby
Oh, yeah. And you guys are so close. Yeah, right? You and your mom.
Barbie Ferreira
So close. She's.
Grace
Yeah, she's at my house right now.
Gabby
Oh, my God.
Grace
At my house right now. She's coming to the premiere today.
Gabby
Oh, my God.

Gabby
The bag, she will not take it off. But her mom was like, you gotta give that back.
Barbie Ferreira
That's like, so me growing up, oh,
Grace
don't take the movie.
Barbie Ferreira
Movie theater popcorn. That's too expensive. Don't ever get someone to buy you that. Sorry, Mom.
Gabby
I didn't know they offered me, you know. Right.
Barbie Ferreira
Yeah, it's a lot. It's interesting because I really. I grew up with that. And like, now even my mom, when I bought her the house, she's like, you don't have to do this. I'm like, mom, like, I don't want to hear anything about it, right? And it's, like, very sweet, but I just don't want to hear anything about it. Just go in. Here's the keys. Like, all that stuff, you know, it's just like. It's. I just grew up very.
Grace
Yeah.
Barbie Ferreira
What's funny is I grew up poor, but I was kind of a bougie kid. Like, I wanted so much more. I would, like, go to thrift shop
Gabby
and be like, no, no. Living on the East Coast, I feel like you're, like, around it, you know?
Grace
You are so around it. It's not as separated by wealth. So I was like, my grandma cleaned houses.
Barbie Ferreira
I would go with her on the weekends to whatever house she, like, apartment she was cleaning and is, like, of
Grace
some, like, you know, Upper east side, like, socialite. And I'm like, yo, this is cool, right? This is, like, what I need to be on.

Gabby
Yeah.
Barbie Ferreira
So many packets of stuff.
Grace
Splendid. Like in like straws and stuff that. I just feel like when you live in a family in a small apartment, you just acquire so much.
Barbie Ferreira
I'm like, whoa, this is cozy.

Barbie Ferreira
It's cozy here. There's not like a whole bunch of trash everywhere. Like 14 people live in this room.
