Welcome to another episode of Dumb Blonde. Today, my baby girl is in the house. Jade Amber, what the fuck is up, baby? Hi.

Sorry, mom's sitting right here and I'm just cussing left and right. She does too. It's okay. Dude, this outfit, she walked in. I was like, hello, nurse. She looks so pretty. I love it. Can you stand up and model this outfit for us really quick? Yeah. I mean, look at it. First of all, body for days, body and face. But how cute is that?

We wouldn't expect anything less from Jade though, right? I know. I had to. I was like, Nashville is all rhinestones. Yes, baby. I love it. I love it. So what's up? How are you? Nothing. We just, me and my mom just went on our first flight yesterday. How was that? So first time ever flying? Yes, like ever. Well, I had flown before when I was like three with my aunt and she said I screamed the whole time. I wouldn't expect anything less, but yeah.

It was fun. It was kind of felt like a roller coaster, like when your stomach like drops and I liked it, but I'm like, if anything bad were to happen, that's not a good feeling. Yeah. No, no. What'd you think about it, mom? You're allowed to talk. I,

it you love it yeah good so scared but it was fun I love it so I didn't know um you and I are the same age I think how old are you okay so I'm 42 I'll be 43 in January yeah so I'm old enough to be your mama Jade I know is that not fucking insane I'm just you know what just I'll be your online mama how about that yeah you like you'll be my little baby girl I know it's crazy it's

All right. So let's, you know, everybody wants to know what the fuck Jade Amber is up to. Like, first of all, where's Prince? I'm just kidding. I saw your live today and I just had to do it. I was like, I mean, that's the first thing I'm going to ask her. It's like everyone. And I'm like,

I don't know. I just feel like to know a child's location at all times is crazy. No, it's fucking weird. But it's also always with moms who are always with their kids. The one moment they're not, they're like, where are your kids at? It's crazy because society will condemn...

women who stay at home with their kids all day long and pretty much like be like oh they're not doing anything with their lives they chose to be a stay-at-home mom and then when you actually branch out to go and do something to like you know further your brand or to like you know do an interview or just anything well where's your kids right so it's like which one is it you guys make up your fucking minds right but then if you're like fully working they're like oh but you're never with your kids yeah it's like you're damned if you do you're damned if

I feel like they do that to Megan Fox all the time too. They're like, where are her kids? And she's like, yeah, she's got three. She's Milfa Rama, right? Yeah. It's crazy. So let's talk about baby Jade. Take me back to your childhood. Where'd you grow up while mom's sitting there? Um, I was born in North Carolina, but like,

My parents moved to Connecticut when I was like six months old. So I was born in Fayetteville, North Carolina. But then I grew up in Connecticut. And actually somehow I like remember a lot of it. We moved when I was eight. And like...

I mean, from what I can remember, like, it was a pretty normal, like, childhood and stuff like that. But it was definitely a lot different than, like, North Carolina and stuff like that. But also, like, growing up as a teen somewhere and, like, being a child is completely different. Yeah, different stages of life. Yeah. And Connecticut, like, I mean, it was nothing crazy. I had lived in a neighborhood. That was the only time I've ever lived in a neighborhood and, like,

I would always just be outside playing with my friends. Sometimes like I would like take their toys, like maybe playing with something and I would literally bring toys home. My mom would take me and all my siblings and like bring us back to the house and be like, please give them their toys back. Thank you. Like you do not need to have their stuff.

But yeah, and Connecticut was like haunted. Were you like a mean girl as a kid? Just like, hey, give me your toy. Like big baby Debo? Not really. Like, I don't even think I just thought about it. I was just like, I'm playing with this. And they never said anything. So I was just like, this is mine. You bought a Halloween.

Jade, I could see Jade having that charismatic personality where people are just like, here's your gift. Like I didn't mean anything. I was just like, yeah, this is fun. Like I want this for myself. I love that. I never knew people actually really lived in Connecticut because fucking when I grew up on the West Coast. Right. So the only time I ever heard about Connecticut was in the Babysitter's Club book series. I don't know if you guys know about that. You're way too young for that.

but your mom might know about it, but there's a whole thing. And they like lived in like new Haven, Connecticut or something like that. And I was like, this is so cool people on the East coast, you know, cause I was from the West coast. So to hear you say that you're from, but you lived in Connecticut is just crazy to me. Cause I never knew people actually fucking live there. Shout out Connecticut. Shout out all you peeps in Connecticut. Whenever I think of Connecticut now, I think of Jerry Springer. Is that where they were at too?

go fucking figure okay everyone says there's like a whole bunch of crazies from connecticut that's awesome though they fucking it's fucking white trash bash and yeah i get then yeah who would have thought in um middletown so it was i don't know it was like pretty regular but i all had like walk to school like and there would be like snow up to my face like it was so you

You get to tell Prince that story. You can be like, I walked barefoot in the snow. I know. Yeah, that's so funny. But in North Carolina, like if there's like a sprinkle of like cold rain or like barely a snowflake, they're like, oh, close the schools down. So. Oh, no, it's crazy. They do that out here, too. And I'm like, we used to have like

explosions in Vegas and they still didn't fucking we still had to explosion because there's like power plants and shit out there that would like explode and do weird shit and they still never fucking canceled school like we had to fucking go to school with our the world burning around us and nobody fucking cared literally it fucking gets too slushy out here my kids like I've got a week off and I'm like oh god what are we doing for a week right like thanks

So how long did you guys live in Connecticut for? We lived in Connecticut from the time I was like six months old till I was eight. So like eight years. Okay. It was a long time. And then the recession happened and rent was like freaking through the sky. So then they moved to North Carolina.

And I grew up in Bunn level, but I went to school. Bunn level is so small. It's literally like... Mom's over here cracking up. It's literally in the middle of nowhere, like country. Is this in North Carolina? Okay, gotcha. But I went to school near Fayetteville. So that's why like whenever I went to...

Whenever I worked at the Hooters in Charlotte, people were like, where are you from? I'm like, this is too much to explain. So I would just like be like Fayetteville because I grew up like my childhood in Connecticut. But then like my teenage years was in like Spring Lake close to Fayetteville. But yeah.

Growing up in North Carolina was crazy because like I would get so caught up in the wrong people all the time. When you say wrong people, what do you mean? Did you ever do drugs and stuff like that? When I was like 14, like I did not like I was just doing whatever like, you know,

They would, like, pay me something, and I would just take it. Not anything crazy, but, like... Well, that wasn't really back then, because you're so young, but... Yeah. Drugs weren't like they were now, though. Yeah. Like, now you never know what the fuck you're going to get a hold of. Like, in the past few years, it's just changed so much. So even, like, you know, fucking six, seven years ago, drugs weren't... They were still bad, but they weren't, like... You would be taking your last breath type shit, you know? Yeah, no, it wasn't like that. It was just, like, I had just gotten into high school, and, like, I was already, like...

Not smoking weed, but like there was one weekend where I got into so much trouble and it's like engraved in my brain because it was like one of those times where you get in trouble and like your stomach is literally in your ass. You're so scared. And it was just, it was so bad. What did you do? Walk us through it. We want to know. My mom's like, oh shit.

so I think it makes you human though because you know everybody gets to see how you're just this amazing mom you're right you know vlogging all the time we us as creators we only put out what we want people to see you know and I think it's cool that it's relatable when people actually get to hear oh my god Jade Amber got in trouble you know especially for people around the same age as you you know it it takes it's a beautiful story to watch people be able to go through shit and come out of it and when you're so young like you don't

Like, obviously, your parents have told you, like, be careful who you hang out with. But she's like, okay, whatever. Like, I like her. Like, what are you going to do? So, me and my friend at the time, she was, like, my best friend. Even though I had just met her, it was, like, one of those relationships. Like, you meet somebody, you're like, oh, my God, this is, like, my sister that I've never met. So, we were, like, always together. And there was one weekend where I told my mom that I was with her. And she told her mom that she was with me. And, yeah.

It was one of those things where like the freshman girls were like, sorry guys. He is. Is that in your earphones memes? I'm so sorry. Chachi is just over here and love listening to Jade falling asleep. But it was one of those things where like,

the senior boys of like high school or like juniors were like hanging out with freshmen and um so i was at her house but we ended up like going you know how like stoners like in high school will like hang out in the woods and like just do weird stuff like yeah so we used to have fucking we used to hang out in forts yeah like shit out in deserts and hang like it was weird with the roaches it was weird not roach kid

I did weird shit, man. Oh my gosh. Okay. So we were like hanging out in the woods and then one of them, one of the people was there. I can like barely remember exactly who all of them were because this was when I was like 14. Yeah. But one of them was like, oh, well, my mom has a camper outside. Like we can go be in a camper. Like we can go chill in the camper because it was like,

November December time but it was like cold like I don't know what's going on right now it's kind of feels like summertime outside I swear to god I was saying that to my niece today whenever we went to fucking the gym I was like bro it is like last last November was fucking freezing yeah this November is like we are still not even wearing sweatshirts and jackets but then at night it's like freezing freezing yeah so it was it was probably like that back then um I can't really remember but I remember it got really cold at night so they're like why don't we go in the camper yeah

so we're like in the camper just like oh my gosh at the time like everyone was like taking triple c's i don't even know what it is now but apparently it's like yeah i don't even do you know what it's called like well you're the second person to come on the podcast and talk about them mimi knows about them yeah but like if you take too many like trip out so like that's what they were doing or whatever that's scary yeah heart shit

Yeah, so, like, one of the guys ended up, like, taking too many and was, like, seizing. It was the friggin' scariest thing I've ever friggin' seen. Yeah. And, like, I was only 14. Like, what is going on? But there's, like, all these older people around me and my friends over there, like, making out with some guy. And I'm just like, what is going on? And...

It was just like so crazy and then people are just like because it was in a neighborhood and we were in high school So it was people who lived around there and then they would see other people I knew and everybody's just like coming in and out and we were drinking and they had like Friggin, I don't even know what it was it was some white liquor and I had never drank before and it was like Now that I know what liquor is probably moonshine or something like some crazy hard stuff. Yeah and

long story short like we were just out like just partying whatever so it becomes morning time oh i forgot to even say so basically like he was like i know he was like unresponsive and like couldn't talk we were trying to get him to say his abc's like everything mind you i'm like young i don't even know what they're doing i'm like what the freak is going on yeah so um they ended up like

I don't know. I don't even remember what they did, but he did live. That's all I know. Like he became conscious and all that stuff. I think he just like went to sleep, but it was like scary. Yeah. I mean, that's really fucking scary to see. Yeah, I know. I don't even think my mom knew that. Do you tell the story? Mom, you're learning new things today.

but um yeah but i don't know i was like what the freak well it scared her straight pretty much so yeah i was like oh heck no so um that happened and then it becomes like morning time like nobody's went to sleep everybody's just been up all night and then um one of the guys he he came from like a really nice neighborhood so i don't even know what happened to him i don't even know why he was hanging out with that group of people like his mom was really nice

and she's really pretty but that's besides the point so he was like i can call my mom and like have her bring us groceries because we're all like don't got no money like we're just out here with like a whole bunch of alcohol and whatever but like no food and he's like

I'll tell my mom to bring us food pizza chips all this stuff so she's like on the way or it was his grandma or something like that he called his mom tell his grandma whatever and at the time I was only 14 so I didn't really have a phone um but the phone that I did have I don't even know if it worked like without wi-fi right I think it was probably an ipod or something and um

one of the somebody's phone I think it was my friend I'm gonna set her name I don't want to say her name um she was like your mom's asking where you're at and I'm like what and she was like your mom is asking where you're at and I was like what do you mean so I like get on her phone and I like log into my Facebook messenger and

And my mom's like, Jade Amber, where the fuck are you at? What are you doing? Where are you at? You told me you were at so-and-so's house. And I went over there and her mom laughed in my face and said, she don't know where y'all are. Like, where are you at? My heart fell into my cooch. Oh, that's the worst. I was so scared. And they use the first and middle name too. I was like, that's how, that's what she's always called me whenever, Jade Amber, Jade Amber. So I was like, I'm just going by Jade Amber like at this point, but I like it. So, um,

I was, like, freaked out. Like, it was, like, one of the, like, the world stopped. I was, like, I gotta go. Like, I don't care if the food, like, I don't care if the food is coming, whatever. You just get so sick to your stomach, you literally just want to puke. Like, the vibe was completely gone. I was, like, oh, my God, I have got to go. So, um...

next thing you know I'm like getting dressed I'm thinking I have time like I oh my gosh I was like so scared and because I was just like I knew I was in the wrong like I was doing things I shouldn't have been doing like was just being crazy yeah so and my friend was there and she was just like she was kind of freaked out too um so I'm like putting on my hoodie hurrying up and all of a sudden I hear beep

And then I was like, what was that? And then all of a sudden I heard banging on the camper like, and she was like, get your ass out of there. Oh no. Mom, how did you know? How'd you know where they were? Well, I called the cops. They've been looking for her all night. Oh.

how did you know she wasn't at her friend's house you just had a hunch just mama's hunch oh the friend's mom oh that's right you went to the friend's mom's house okay but like what made you go to the friend i think her mom texted you right no it took her house yeah i know but i'm saying like how did you find it like why were you like where is jade yeah like did you just have a hunch like you and that you were like let me go i thought she texted you and asked about gabby i

Yeah. Yeah. Not for sure. I just said, oh...

Did you get your ass whooped? Yes. Yeah. She literally, I don't know if anybody remembers what Sharkisha did in that one video. It was like a punch slap. She literally just came at me like, she only did it one time, but she just came at me and just whacked me in the face. I was like, what are you doing? She was just so scared. Like, she was literally like, what, like, what are you doing? Like, I was just so young. And yeah, they had an Amber Alert out for Jade Amber that night.

I didn't know. And I was just out just kicking it, just kicking it in a camper at some lady's house. Like I literally was so scared and the story isn't over. So, um, I get out of the camper. I just immediately started crying, whatever I get in the back of the seat. And, um, we were in my grandma's HHR and I guess my friend thought she was just good. Like just staying in the camper. And my mom was like,

So-and-so, get your ass out here. And, like, told her to get in the car because her mom didn't know where she was either. Like, I guess she really didn't know, but she thought it was funny because her mom was the type of mom, like, she was always in it too. Like, she, like, not really a good influence, I guess you could say. Right. So she thought it was funny when my mom, like, asked where she was at. And she was probably, like, high off smoking or something. Yeah. And she just started laughing. And that made my mom, like, it just...

Like, really brought her down. Because I think, like, my mom was just thinking, like, what if we can never find her again? And you're over here laughing in my face. Yeah. Like, she was so scared. So... But I didn't know any of that. I didn't know they had an... Almost had an Amber Alert out. Like, I didn't know anything. Yeah. And we go and we drop her off. And...

I just remember like going home and like running to my room and like crying. So were you grounded forever after that? Oh, I was like in trouble for a long time, like a super long time. That's crazy. But sometimes it's necessary because those are pivotal learning moments. Oh, yeah, for sure. I just went through it with our daughter. She didn't have a phone for fucking eight months because she decided to send nudes to people on Snapchat and hit a Snapchat from us for a year.

So needless to say, when I found the Snapchat and went through it, I was just fucking like, okay, kid, you have sealed your fate. So she didn't have a Snapchat or she didn't have any social media for eight months. But now she'll never do it again. Exactly. Well, you know, never say never. She's 14. And she's our kid. But she knows better now. But it seems like this time it's like a completely different situation.

kid, you know? So I'm like, I'm loving it. I'm just like, Oh, please stay like this. You know, like hopefully that was a really good learning lesson for her. So I see that you're really close with your mom. Is dad in the picture? Yes. Okay. Okay. Gotcha. Yeah. Cause I think I always hear about mom, but I never hear about dad, especially like online. He's just very like, he's mom said he's crazy. Yeah. He's just, he is crazy. He just is.

I'll miss. Are you guys close? Are you a daddy's girl or are you a mommy's girl? I think I'm both. Like I love them equally, but I'm not like, oh, I love my mom more. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Gotcha. But my parents are homebodies, so they don't ever really like, like for me to get my mom to come, well, she wanted to come to Nashville regardless, but to get her out of the house, like she was so excited and I was like excited too because my parents,

literally never go anywhere. Yeah. Like it was up to me. I wouldn't fucking go anywhere either. So I totally understand and totally fucking resonate with that. Yeah. All right. So let's move forward. You're growing up in what is the small town called? Bun level. Bun level. What did you get pregnant with Prince before or after Hooters? When did you start working at Hooters? Okay. What made you get involved with Hooters? Okay. Yeah.

Because you definitely look like a Hooters girl. Yeah. But you're like one of the hotter ones. Thanks. You're welcome. Yeah, their standards kind of changed a lot. Yeah, it's great. You know what? I feel like that about strippers too. Yeah. Like I feel like back in the day when I... Back in my day when I was dancing, the bitches were so hot, dude. And they were like top notch. And now it's like anybody can dance. And you know, fucking get the money, girls. We're not hating. Not hating at all. But it's just a different level of shit. I think for me working at Hooters, I'll get back to what you said. But like...

I don't know. Like, I was so excited to get hired on because I thought it was, like, to get hired as a Hooters girl, like, you have to, like, make the mark and you have to, like, have the right things and, like, the personality and the looks and all this other stuff. But also, like, you have to keep up with it. Like, and that's what I was just excited about. But,

even working at Hooters like I think it takes the fun out when nobody cares anymore nobody cares how they look or whatever but like that's a part of the job like is to look like the girl next door or whatever so when girls didn't it was like dang like it's not even like you're not taking pride in even just the name yeah like I was working at Hooters but I was like no I'm a Hooters girl like I loved it yeah but um

So before I got pregnant, I was... So I'm going to have to go back all the way back to my first job. My first job I got was when I was 16. I got a job at Zaxby's and...

I was a regular cashier and then I became a shift leader like after six months of working there. And then I became assistant manager when I was like 17. So that happened. And you got good work ethic. It's the Virgo in you. Like I always like everywhere that I've worked, I'm like, I have to like try to reach the next level. You probably have a Capricorn somewhere in your chart too. I don't even know. I'll have to do your birth chart for you. Yeah. But so I was working as Axby's. I became an assistant manager and yeah.

I was dating like what I thought was like my high school sweetheart, whatever. And we were dating for like a year. And then we had broken up because he was like cheating on me. And I don't like to bring him up because I feel like I've already talked about it so many times. That's how I feel about my fucking abusive relationship. I know. I'm just like, it's not my identity. Yeah. But so I was like, I'm never getting back with him unless I'm pregnant. I didn't know at the time when I said that, that I was nine weeks pregnant already.

And this is the guy that you used to do the YouTubes with. Yes. I did see your YouTube before. Yes.

So, um, does he have a name? Does he have a name? Are we allowed to say it or no? We'll just refer to him as baby daddy. Yeah. Okay. Gotcha. So, um, she said, um, no, I'm like, I don't know. So, um, I don't even know why. Cause I used to say his name all the time myself, but he's not really on social media. So I would just get to a point where it's like, you don't want that to be your identity. I've never said that my abuser's name, the guy that I had was in the abusive relationship with. Yeah. It's just some preference. Yeah. Yeah.

So I was nine weeks pregnant and I told him and I had like FaceTime him and I was like, I'm pregnant. And he just looked at me like blank stare. Like, what do you mean you're pregnant? Like what? Like we're not even together. Don't you love that guys are like, what do you mean you're pregnant? I know. Sorry, mom. Even though we've been banging, you know, fucking getting it on. Right. You know, like, how are you pregnant? Like, I don't know, motherfucker. How do you think? I know that's literally. And I was just like, like I was crying like hysterical because I was only when I got pregnant, I was only 18. Right.

So I was like, what the freak am I going to do? Like I'm in college. I'm trying to like get my degree. Like I, what were you going to college for business administration? What college were you going to Campbell university? Okay. Gotcha. Yeah. I ended up graduating. I never stopped. That part out. That's a big, that's good. Like that's very inspirational. Young women need to hear that. But like, that's what I was like,

oh my god like I'm in college like what the heck am I gonna do because I was like living in a dorm well no at the time I was living at an apartment that was like really close to campus and I was going to classes like on campus so I was like I'm gonna have to be walking around waddling like a little penguin pregnant on campus like what the heck so we like met up the next day because

I was like, like where I had called my friend. I was like, her name's Geneva. I was like, Geneva, I'm freaking pregnant. Like, what am I going to do to this? She was like, are you going to keep it? I said, am I going to what? Like, because I was only 18 and like the way I thought about like abortion before I don't like was completely like, no, like God forbid, don't like, why would you do that? So when she asked me, I was like, what did you just say?

So I was like, that wasn't even an option for me. Like in my head, I was like, uh, yeah, like what the heck I laid down and I did the thing. So like, whatever.

So like the next day I met up with my baby daddy and we went to CVS and got like two more. Cause you know, when you find out you're pregnant, like you buy like seven or eight pregnancy tests just to make sure you're like, I just want to know, like I need a clear sign like that I'm pregnant. So I need to let it sink in when the shock wears off. Then you want to just, I literally was like, what if it's, what if it's a false positive? Right. Girl, shut up. But so we went to CVS and we got like prenatals and like all this other stuff. And yeah,

um at the time like i said i was staying in an apartment that was like close to my college um but i didn't want to like be pregnant by myself and like us being different households so i was like there's probably a part of you that wanted to have that family structure especially because my parents are still together i was like there's no way i'm about to be a baby mama right single mom uh-uh like no yeah which is so ironic now but um crushing it though

So we ended up getting a place together in December. I found out that I was pregnant in August. So it took us a while to save up our money because I was only a manager. I was only making like $12 an hour as a manager. Were you still going to school during this time too? Yes. I never stopped going to school. Like once I found out I was pregnant, I was like,

I have to finish. Like, I have to prove everyone wrong because I knew that being pregnant at a young age, like, people were going to be like, oh, this girl. Like, especially the fact that I was in an interracial relationship in, like, the South and I was pregnant in college. Like, everyone from, like, where I was from was just like...

what the heck? And I was like, I have to graduate. Like if anything, I have to freaking graduate. So I love that though. Yeah. I was like determined, but like, that's one thing about me. Like if I say I'm going to do something, like I don't care how long it takes, I'm going to do it. Right. Um, so I actually like took, uh,

freaking pictures for my graduation that I still haven't even posted I bought my own like pink habit gown and everything and it's like so pink how to be pink yes of course have you always been obsessed with the color yes yes okay and I don't know where like why like mine's red so I get it I'm the same way your car is so pretty thank you thank you so much I was like oh my gosh

It's the Elton John of G-wagons. When I was getting it designed, I was like, just make it fucking ridiculous and red. Yes. That's how I feel about pink. But since Prince is so young and a boy, I'm like...

Like, I've already gone so overboard. I'm like, I got to chill out for a little bit. I think he gets it, though. Yeah. You know, kids get it at that young age. He knows it's my favorite color, so he's just like, whatever. But I literally forgot where I was at. So you were talking about how you still stayed in school. You guys finally got the apartment in December. Okay. So we were, like, living together or whatever. I was so excited to have Prince. We would, like, count down on this little whiteboard of, like, the days of when he was going to come. Mm-hmm.

And a lot of people ask me, like, where did you get Prince's name from? And literally, this sounds so bad. But when I was in college, like, I didn't want any names. Because, like, when you're picking out baby names, like...

and you hear something that was like somebody you knew, you're like, no, like I don't want that name. That was a cute name. You're like, I hate when people name babies, like grown ass men name, like Walt, you know, like this is my son, Walt, you know, like you had nine months, you know, and that's what you fucking came up with. And you're stuck with that for the rest. No offense to people named Walt. Okay. I,

know no offense to people named Walt but come on you don't want to see a little nine month old named Walt you know it's just weird

this is fucking weird that's what i'm saying so or harold you know like like be so cruel that's weird but um so i was like in class and i'm like trying to come up with baby names not in class but like at the time like in my life i was looking for baby names or whatever and i just hear like a name here in college like this guy that i was went to class with which i like didn't even talk to him whatever and his name was prince and i was like

oh my god and I didn't know that it was like a common name at the time yeah but I was like that name is iconic so I'm snatching it so I had a friend right and then there was another person who another guy that was at my college and his name was Zaire and I didn't know him either at the time um and

I was like, I'm stealing that one too. So I just put Prince and Zaire together and now it's Prince Zaire. And I thought it was like the cutest name ever, but like the story one is kind of like what? No, it is cute though. But you know, that's how did you get Jade's name?

I just came up with it. I loved it. Yeah. Like, I'm sure something inspired it, though. Like, that's how people pick their kids' names. Right. I was named after a fucking boat, a yacht that my dad liked. Like, thanks, Dad. You know? So it's like people just, you see things and you're just like, you know what? I'm going to name my fucking kid that. So, I mean, what you did is normal. That's a big, big thing, though.

Yeah, it's beautiful. I love the name Jade. I have a friend named Jade that I've grown up with and I've always loved her name. Yeah. Yes. And I love my name too. That's the thing. Like I would be so sad if I like didn't like my name. The name is actually, you can brand the fuck out of that. Jade Amber. Yes. Like you could do so many fucking things with that. I know. So I mean, and we'll get into that too. Right. All right. So you picked out Prince's name. What happens next? Okay. So we end up, um, I'm like super pregnant working at Zaxby's like 40 hours a week. Like

I already have crank kinkles anyways like if anybody knows what um I forgot what her name is from Lulow and Stitch Nina or something like that um if you see what her body type is like the way her leg literally just goes into a foot oh that's me and when I was pregnant it was like crazy fat like oh my gosh retaining hella water yes that's nothing about pregnancy I've never had kids but

vaginally I have you know my bonus baby right nothing about pregnancy is attractive to me like everything changes I started getting spider veins and it reminded me of like when I was in seventh grade I had this teacher her name was Miss Bivens and my friend like literally called her cottage cheese legs and now it's like coming to bite me

Oh, well, everybody has cottage cheese, baby. Everybody has cottage cheese. No, but like she had like spider veins everywhere. Oh. And then like when I was pregnant, I was like, uh-uh, not me turning into Miss Vivian. Oh, no. Listen, I learned that whatever I made fun of when I was younger, as I got older, started fucking happening to me. So nowadays, I don't ever talk shit. So I don't like talking bad about people. No, me either, dude. I'm like, oh.

I love Jesus. Yep. I'm not going to talk bad about anybody. Especially when I was pregnant. I was like, didn't say a, like not even though, like, you know how like you'd be talking with your friends. You're like, huh? Like that's so funny. Nope. Nope. The universe has a funny way of bringing it right back, dude. It's crazy. I was like, no, no,

So I was working at Zaxby's so much. Like it would get to the point where like whenever I would get home, I would still be in my uniform and we had to wear like red collared shirts and my stomach, like you would be able to see like the bottom of my stomach like out and I would just get home. Did you get really big? Yes. I don't think I've ever seen pregnancy pictures. Have you posted them? Yeah, I have before a couple of times, but yeah.

i don't really have that many videos or anything yeah but i would like get home and just like flop on the couch and like cry because my feet and ankles would hurt so bad because i was working so freaking much so i literally worked up until i was like at least like a week before i had prince like the whole freaking time because exactities don't have no freaking what is it called maternity leave like they don't have that so i have prince and like i'm literally in the hospital

with my laptop like after I gave birth to him like had so many emotions like postpartum depression was so like real for me I was just like battled from postpartum tell me how you were not um in the way we're like you know some women have like suicidal thoughts or like really really like dark thoughts like that it was more so just like who am I what is going on like

what the heck kind of like an identity crisis yes I was so like I was so happy that he was there yeah I was so happy to have him but I was also just like what is going on like especially when I got home like I just remember the feeling now of thinking of like being in the hospital for three days I felt like the walls were freaking caving in on me and like you just have to like write down every time he eats and like all this other stuff and I'm not like the type of person to like

be super organized and write all this stuff down. So I'm just like, I don't know. Like I've fricking, she was just on my boob for like hours at a time. Cause I didn't even know how to breastfeed or anything. I didn't even do no research. Like I just went into it so blindly. Like mom, how did you feel whenever she got pregnant?

Was it hard for you, your baby having a baby? I was a little upset at first, but he is... He's your baby. Yeah, he's cute too. He's got lots of personality. Yes. He's amazing. He's literally so easygoing. When's his birthday? His birthday is March 19th. He's a Pisces. He's a Pisces Aries. Yes. He's on the cusp. And...

he is so like i feel like i know like all of my family like loves him just as much as i do because he's just so chill he's just like a little chill human being like i don't know what i would have done if he was like super like hyperactive like bouncing off the walls like a tasmanian devil like just running around like he's literally just so content in his own little world and like he'll come up and like show you stuff and like he's just so very relaxed with him when you were pregnant

Like, as far as, like, emotions and stuff? Or were you going through anything? I want to say, yeah, I was. Like, at first, I wasn't because I went from leaving this guy who was cheating on me, who I was, like, madly in love with, but I was like, I'm over this. Like, what the heck? And then...

I don't even know. So did you guys stay together the whole pregnancy? Yes. Because you guys moved in with each other in December. And then so was he there at the birth and very active? Yeah, he was there. He literally bawled crying. He's a dramatic crier. And he literally made the doctor cry. He was screaming, crying when Prince was born. Yeah. He's a good dad, though. But yeah, I don't know. Prince is just... So you had Prince. Yeah.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

And I was at home with him like throughout maternity leave, obviously. And it just felt like my days were going by so fast. And I was like everything was going on. I had so much homework that like I was like trying to be caught up on or whatever. I'm trying to learn how to breastfeed. Like I didn't even know anything about breastfeeding. Literally when I had Prince, like he came out like a baby bird with his mouth wide open, like ready to hop on. And I was like, Mom, what do I do? She's never breastfed. She said, I don't know.

on there I put him on there mom but thanks mom Prince he was like such a good breastfeeder too but it was really hard like after first having him and being in school and also after I had Prince um my teachers let me do like online work because I was like going on campus and stuff and so that like

having classes on campus and online you would think like online classes are easier but you have so much more work so it was just like a complete freaking just overload yes like overload seriously yeah because you're a new mom you're figuring it out you're back in

together in this relationship you're dealing with all your hormones settling you're working full-time right or you know were you still working full-time yeah because they didn't have maternity leave and then you're doing classes that's a lot to take on at such a young age and you're 18 right yes yeah well I was 19 when I had him but I was 18 when I got pregnant so when did you moving forward when and you stayed in school you did you end up graduating yes so

I know. I'm so like proud of myself for graduating. That's amazing. But then after I had Prince, a couple months after, I want to say that coming like September, I had started at Walmart and then I got, I used to make TikTok videos. Literally, everyone's like, how do you start TikTok? I'm like, post anything.

anything. Like people will watch anything. I used to be a fresh cap associate which is somebody who works in like the fruits and vegetables bakery or the meat department. Right. I never knew that. And yeah. So they would have me me in the freaking

putting away bananas and all this other stuff i would make transition videos of like a before and after of when i stocked stuff and i would also like be in bakery yes i would be in bakery and they would throw away well not really throw away they gave it to like pigs or something right um all the like expired like bakery goods and stuff and i would be scared to be out behind walmart

Like, by the dumpsters by myself because that's where all the creepy people go. Right. And I just started making videos. Never know what's his dumpster diving in a fucking Walmart fucking trash can. I've seen it myself. Yes. It's crazy. It's disgusting. And I just started making videos. Like, I literally just started talking to the camera of me dumping out rotten tomatoes and, like, all the stuff. So that's when you started your online thing was...

literally just vlogging your days at Walmart. Yes. Okay. And like other stuff too here and there like the trending sounds and stuff. Right. But then after working at Walmart I was just like like some one of my friends her name's Tina she was working at Hooters and my birthday had came up

a year after I was working at Walmart. So I was working at Walmart for a year. I became a manager over the truck on load, which I was only a manager for like five months. I was like over a whole bunch of guys in the back. So that was like really hard because men don't respect women at all, especially in a job like that. Um, but then I was like, I was making $15 an hour at the time whenever I was a manager and my

my friend Tina was telling me on my birthday about how Hooters was so fun and there was like all these like regulations to stuff and I was like I don't care like you get to look cute I'm over here in a Walmart vest like opening up a truck unload using a pallet jack an electric pallet jack moving stuff around like I'm Bob the Builder like I don't like this at all yeah I feel like I can't see Jade doing manual

labor like that. Oh my God. When you see the videos, it's like, what are you doing? I don't have to see them. You'll have to send me some of them. It's so embarrassing. Like, oh my gosh. No, but that's part of your journey, dude. And that's what, like, you deserve to be...

what you are what you're doing now because you literally worked your ass off to do it and that's the thing like when you get to that point people are like oh she just stays at home whatever i'm like do you know how hard and long i've worked to get here bro and let's talk about real quick being a content creator everybody's like oh you just make videos oh if it's so easy why aren't you doing it that's why it's so easy why don't you have millions of followers it's not easy like you

any sort of online social work, social media work is not easy editing. I mean, my manager hates me today because literally we are like, we have so much content. We're so backed up. None of us have gotten a break. Like it's, it, people don't realize it's literally your, you live your life on camera.

Right. And we're not complaining, you know, but it's like there's some times where it just it's overwhelming and it's a lot and people don't realize that. So when people try to discredit all of us, I'm just like, no, bro, I'm not going to let that happen. Don't get us wrong. Like there's so many pros. But you have to work to like you have to put in the work. It's a job. Right. Yeah. It's a job. It is a full time fucking job. And we don't get any days off.

No. We don't get, I mean, if we want them, we can have them. But I mean, then views go down and fucking, you know, you have to stay relevant. And like, that's the thing too. Like, if you're just doing TikTok, it's going to be way easier to be a content creator just doing TikTok if you're not doing YouTube and Instagram and all this other stuff. Like, I edit my YouTube videos myself when I tell you I hate editing days because it takes me like five to six hours. You might need to hire an editor. I know. I do need to. Yeah, you should. That's what I, I finally had to do it. My, my manager was finally like, dude, you got to,

It's time. My husband was like, you've got to stop carrying this all on your shoulders because I was doing it all myself too. And then I just constructed a team around me and I just have an amazing team who believes in the vision and they help. But you can get so much more work done that way because you have people helping you. Yes, for sure. But it's definitely like it's give and take. You guys were all just a fluid machine. So whenever you get to that point, you should probably find like a little homie that'll work with you and start helping you edit stuff because then that takes...

more that gives you more time to be the creator right I definitely do need to do that so let's rewind back real quick you were at Walmart you were fucking running dudes and fucking lifting pallets and fucking vlogging and shit your friend said to come to Hooters you went to Hooters and what happened yeah so I started working at Hooters and that was when my first viral video ever happened because I was like you guys like I have my first interview at Hooters

Like, I'm so excited. Oh, they love the Hooters girls on TikTok. Oh, my God. Yes. I love them. I follow, like, 10 of them. Me too. Yes. So I posted about, like, my interview and, like, what my manager, which wasn't my manager yet. I just had an interview by him. Like, what he was asking me and all this stuff. And before I had my interview, I was watching videos of, like, Hooters girls and, like, just hearing, like...

Your hair has to look like this. Your hair has to be this color. Your nails have to look like this. Your makeup. Like the rules and regulations. Like who does your. I was so fascinated. Like I don't even know why. But I was. And um.

And then I started and it was literally one of the best jobs that I've ever had. Like, obviously I got tired. There were so many times I was so burnt out. It's so much work being a server. But like being around girls, especially like girls who love like makeup and looking cute and like making money. Like it was so freaking fun. And sometimes like when I am at home all day or whatever making content, I'm like, dang, like that was fun. But it was so hard because like my whole family works too. And like I didn't like –

If I didn't have my little brother and my mom at the time, whenever I was working a lot, like, at Hooters and Walmart, like, I wouldn't have been able to go work because I wouldn't have had a babysitter. Right. And I do not trust anyone with a prince. So, did you guys split before you went to Hooters or were you guys still together? So, right before I started working at Hooters, we had broken up. Okay. Because it was, like, the straw that broke the camel's back. Yeah. Yeah.

Just, you know, like when something happens, you're like, okay, like next time I'm going to leave. Right. And you just keep saying, saying, saying.

I was like, you know what? And then some days it's like they didn't even make the bed right. And you're like, you know what? I don't want to fucking be with you. No, but it's like literally like a series of shit that fucking leads up to that moment. I do that with everything in my life. I literally will fucking go through so much shit with somebody and then they'll fucking sneeze the wrong way. And I'll be like, you know what? Get the fuck out of here. Like, I don't want to deal with it with everything. I'm like, just please move. Yeah. But it was that I got the ick.

no literally but like i was so like madly in love with him for so long so like to get to that point i was like wait you're not even all that like the like blind love thing like had completely like gone out the window yeah and i didn't tell my parents about anything that he did to me the whole time was it abusive no just like

cheating like a womanizer like just in love with just talking to other women like that's hurtful yeah but i didn't want like anyone to know because i'm like embarrassing yeah i'm like and i didn't want them to treat him any type of way because we were together for so long right and um then like yeah

I'm serious. I wasn't being condescending. And then this one thing happened and I didn't say anything to him, but it was like for the last three months of our relationship. What was the one thing that happened? We were at Walmart and there was this girl and he was like, oh, like I know her from church or whatever. I was like, oh, why don't you go say hi? Because like I didn't care. Like if you know her from church, like that's a friend. Like go say hey, like don't be weird. Yeah. So he didn't go say anything.

he was like no i think it'll be weird if i say something whatever so i was like okay whatever and this wasn't one of the worst situations but this was like one of the times i was like okay this is never ending yeah but um so it was like he started acting really weird which is what he always did when he was like talking to other women online and one time he was in the shower

and I did what like I would like to say a lot of girls do but some probably don't I went on his phone every bitch in America has gone through their man's phone and if they said they don't they're a fucking liar right so I like I just can't I can't with the girls who are like I don't do that and I'm right like I go through my man's phone still and we're married seven years and I love that motherfucker and I know he's never gonna fucking hurt me again like he did right so it's like fucking I still will go through his phone anytime I'll fucking peek

Overwater in bed. You know? Like, I don't care. There's no shame in that. Like, we're females. We're curious. It's just what we do. So he was in the shower. And I was, like, looking. And...

he was talking to the girl on snapchat and i like clicked on it i hate snapchat and she had like messaged him and she was like hey like i had just seen you in walmart whatever he was like yeah i know um i was gonna say hi and she was like yeah i was gonna say hi too but it would have been weird or something like that and then um there was like some messages that were deleted because you know snapchat unless you save it like it's gone there were some messages that were deleted and

And then they were, like, catching up, talking about hanging out and all this stuff. And I can't remember exactly because it's been so long, but he had sent her, like, heart emojis and all this other stuff. And they were just talking about, like, hanging out and, like, just doing stuff. And, like, she sent her number to him. And, like, I was just like, what the heck? And we were in Walmart with him.

our son too. So I was just like, this is so embarrassing. Like you're over here. And then we had seen her again. And this was like after they had sent the messages, but I didn't know what she looked like. Right. So they were like over there, like eyeing each other. And I'm over there picking out bananas.

Just weird. Just disrespectful. Yeah. And it just made me feel so stupid. Like this is never going to end because it was always like small things like that. And some were like worse than others. But we agree that men that have Snapchat is a fucking walking red flag. No, actually. Or like when they ask you for your Snapchat. Yeah. I think there's nothing. I mean, I'm not in the.

Fucking dating game But if any dude ever If I ever had to go back In the dating game And a dude was like Hey what's your Snapchat I'd be like no dude No fuck no No literally Like I think People who have Snapchat It's all for creepy reasons Yeah It's never for a good reason You're doing fucked up shit I don't care who you are Right It's just Unless you know It's like You know some of us Online girls have to have Snapchats for our OnlyFans And stuff like that Right And literally it's just For fucking dudes To be creepy on You know Yeah So it's like It just all ties in together Yeah So

So that happened and I had my first ever like full blown anxiety attack. Like because my mom has terrible anxiety, which I didn't know when I was younger 'cause I didn't know what anxiety was until after I had Prince. 'Cause I feel like after you have a kid, there's like this type of anxiety that just comes that like never leaves. Or maybe it's just when you get older, there's like a certain anxiety that comes with adulting that just never leaves. - How old are you now? - I'm 23.

So I didn't start having my first panic attacks until I was around your age too. I think like when you're younger, like you get to just live like your glory days and nothing bothers you. And then like, I don't, I don't want to say that it's like your mortality comes into play, but you're just more aware as you get older. You know? And I think also if your mom has it, my mom, you know, rest in peace has, um,

had the worst anxiety ever so I think it's just a hereditary thing also yeah but I never used to think about it so I was just like oh I'm not gonna get anxiety girl you're wrong but um so he came out of the shower and I was just like like didn't say anything he could tell something was wrong and he was like what and then I was like who is so and so

And he was like, I don't know. And I was like, it's literally right here. What are you talking about? And I would have to like take a picture on my phone from his because he was like, I don't know what you're talking about. I don't see like literally like would act like it's not right there in front of his face. And I was like, okay.

So we were laying in the bed together before he got in the shower and he was like getting dressed and I just went in the living room and slept on the couch. I was like, just leave me alone. Like literally just leave me alone. And I was just like sitting there crying and then like,

He like pulled me into the room because he was like trying to like, Jade, stop. Like, it's fine. And I was like, no, like I told you, like, I'm done. Like, you don't care. You obviously have some type of problem with like fantasizing over women online or having just some type of whatever. And he was literally just like denying the whole thing. And it got to the point where I was just like screaming, crying. Like, how are you going to sit here and tell me?

you don't love other women or have some type of like fantasy for them when it's literally happens every couple months. Like it's an ego thing. Yes. Like they need their ego stroked or something. And like, that's the thing. Like he would go months without doing it and then he would do it again. And I'm like, that defeats the purpose of like, are you not doing it for brownie points? Like I'm confused. It's the thrill of the chase. They just need excitement. So it's like, they just, it's, it's almost like the thrill of getting caught. Right. Like they want to get caught.

They don't want to get caught, but they do want to get caught. You know, so it's some weird thing that fucking dudes do. When you stay time and time again, they don't ever think you're going to leave. That's why I always tell girls, like, and I see it because I've been through it now. But I'm like, girl, he's not going to change. Like, I don't know what you have in your head. I don't know. It just happens one day, though. When people are done, literally, you're done. Yes.

But it's like they have to go through it themselves. So many of my friends are going through that. And it literally just because I've already been through it like already because I was so young. I'm just like, girl, like, oh, you just don't understand like that breakthrough when you finally leave. Like you were just going to be so happy that you did. Oh, amazing. So let's move on. So you start you were working at Hooters. How's that going for you?

So whenever we had broken up and his dad left for the military and it was just me and Prince and I was working at Hooters and I would literally... You said his dad left for the military? Okay, gotcha. Like, right. And that was another thing because he was like about to get... I didn't leave him because he was going to the military. I left because of everything he had done in the past and just had built up. And then I was like,

and you're going into the military and everybody knows about the military i'm sorry i was about to say i was about to say somebody's got the bill so yeah so i was like i'd rather not military wives man respect to the military wives that can know for real like kudos because they're the fucking strong bitches i could never like ever no i've heard some stories it's crazy it's so sad yeah

So you're working at Hooters and you're just crushing it and fucking having a blast and you went viral. So is this – you're vlogging everything also? So, like, that's how I got a lot of my following was from the Hooters interview. And then, like, everyone wanted to know every step of, like, okay, so –

if you got an interview what was after that so then it was orientation and then I would talk about the uniform guidelines and the hacks for the pantyhose spraying hairspray on my pantyhose and I would do videos of like we're getting ready were girls doing this online already or do you feel like you were the pioneer in doing I never when I was at Hooters um because I was working at Hooters two years ago right TikTok was completely different two years ago too it was mostly dancing I didn't care I was doing videos like I do now like get ready with me like

I didn't see anybody doing like get ready with me for Hooters or whatever. Right. And there were so many girls that like were like, I just got hired at Hooters because you and me. He's so happy because I'm like, there's so many girls that think they can't do it too. And I'm like, yeah, you literally can. You're beautiful. What are you talking about? Like you need to stop working at Home Depot. Go. Yeah. Go to Hooters. Go baby, go. Yes. Live your best life. And

So I was just making videos of me like getting ready and like they would just blow up. And then there was this one video that also blew up. That's what everyone's, they always ask me like, how did you go viral? I'm like, I had like many viral videos like all the time that I guess just like built up over time. And there was this one video where I was like struggling to get into the fricking Hooters shirt. And at the time I was also 30 pounds heavier and I was still squeezing a small somehow. And I literally was just like trying to get it over like

my neck and onto my body and it was just so much and Prince was also in the video just like looking up at me and like that video blew up but

After I was working at that Hooters for a while, I had moved to Charlotte because I had graduated from college last year. Yeah. In November doing online classes. So I was also going to college while I worked at Walmart, while I was at Hooters. Like I was in school for so long that when I finally graduated, I was like, this is what it feels like to have nothing to do. No. Yeah. So busy for so long. Yes. So now I'm like,

Dang. Like that's how I am on it. When we have too much downtime, I'm always like, what, what are we doing? I know. I'm like, I don't have a goal that I'm striving towards. What is happening? Yeah. And my, my manager will be like, you need to just fucking relax. And I'll be like, I'm not doing anything with my life. I'm like, I don't know how, like, yeah.

but um and i think about that all the time now because my life used to be so crazy and so busy because like i would get up in the morning and like hurry up and rush and i would get prince ready get his diaper bag ready and i would go to my mom's house and my little brother thank god for him at the time it was like summertime he would like watch him um and my mom would she worked a night shift so she would be there too um

And then I would go to Hooters and then I would come back and like come home, get undressed, do my freaking homework, take a shower and do it all over again. And like it was just like this long thing. But then whenever I graduated college, I was like, I don't want to be here anymore. Like I want to go to Charlotte and I want to see the world. Yeah. It's a fucking city up or whatever.

Right. It's still just a different environment. Yeah. So then I started working at the Charlotte Hooters and that was so fun. I met so many like millionaires for the first time. Sorry, I'm smashing Chachi's head down. Chachi smells the food. His little tongue is so cute. He's always on camera doing some weird shit. Yeah.

sorry i didn't mean to interrupt you so you moved to charlotte when do you start doing social media full-time like you're that's what you're doing now it's social media full-time so i don't even know are you on the creator fund for tiktok yes i don't know how you do it because they fucking i get in trouble every time i'm on the fucking creator fund i'm getting flagged they're fucking like trying to ban me like it's fucking bullshit dude i've been through hell and back with tiktok

Like, truly. I remember when you got banned and I was like, girl, you're going to get it back. Don't trip. But I've got my account taken three times and there's certain creators like...

it's never been taken and i'm like you lucky lucky yeah i don't know how because there's some creators that are like literally just fucking buttholes shaking and i'm just like how do you guys and i post a video of me in a fucking bathing suit right literally i'm just now allowed to wear bikinis like literally and i've had my account fucking two years like it's crazy so i don't know how some of these girls get away with what they do shout out to them because you guys are the

So I was in Charlotte and I was working at Hooters, but then I got fired one day. Oh, no. Why? Because...

How do you get fired from Hooters? I know. And it sucks because like Hooters was following me on TikTok and everything. Like we were having conversations like, dang, what happened? But they're mad now because look, you're like, how good you're doing, you know? So Hooters of America had called Hooters and I was the one that answered the phone like, hello, this is Hooters of blah, blah, blah, Charlotte. They're like, can I speak to the manager on duty? So I give them the phone. I'm like, that's weird. Like, why would Hooters of America be calling us? So weird. And I didn't think anything of it. And

then like i love how there are hooters of america hooters of charlotte right it's like very official titles so um i'm like bartending and i'm just starting to think like what am i in trouble like i don't know like you know like when something happens and you're like wait am i the reason so um there was this video right there was this video that i had posted about

um, this customer who I can't even remember the situation. I am so bad with like certain details. Like it literally just like leaves my brain, like the exact details of stuff. Right. I'm like, I can tell it right after it happens. But like once that happens, like I don't even know anymore. Right. But basically he was just being very snarky, very like rude. Not the snarky. Yes. Oh, I hate that word. He was just being very like,

Like a smartass. Yeah. I don't even remember what it was about, but it was about tipping. Like, he was like, what if I tipped you this 10 cents right here or something like that? Just being condescending and fucking disrespectful. Yeah. Ew. Like, what the heck?

um i can't even remember exactly what it was about i have videos on youtube and tiktok but it was something about the tipping and he was just being an asshole basically right so i made a video about it and i called him a dick because he was and he always came in there and i still remember his order kind of to this day he wanted like 10 um breaded hot wings extra wet like super wet and like

like he would be like, I want them super wet, like dripping. And one time, like I would give him the wings that he asked for with the sauce literally falling off. Like they're just swimming in there. And he started wiping off the sauce with a napkin, but that's what he asked me for. And that was just like one of the situations. Some dudes get off on being abusive to girls.

Oh, yeah. For sure. Especially a girl like Hooters girls, strippers. Yes. They love it. Because they're like, oh, I get to talk like me to a pretty girl. Yeah. We used to have guys. I used to have guys who would pay me to do that. But then I also used to have customers that would come in the strip club to do that, too. That's so crazy. Yeah. It's a weird thing. But...

So he did that and like I've done that so many times with like certain customers but the reason why I got fired is because I was in my Hooters uniform and I was talking about a situation which was fine until I called him a dick and that's...

that's what got me fired. They were just looking for a reason. Which is so crazy to me because I've been a Hooters advocate since day one. I made videos about how to get hired at Hooters. Like, I was a Hooters girl, like, advocate. Seriously. Yeah. So when I got fired... Yeah, you put them on TikTok, you know, with your videos that went viral. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. They should appreciate all of that social media exposure from...

all the girls who do it. Like I took so much pride. Because none of you guys have to do that. Right. And you guys do that on your own because there's this other Hooters girl that I follow. I forget her name. She's super cute. Short, really tiny, short blonde hair. And she's like, I don't know who she is. Fucking, but she's a cutie pie. I think I know who you're talking about. But like literally she makes me want to be a Hooters girl and I'm fucking 85 years old, you know? But it's like, it's so funny because it's like you guys literally are using your platforms to boost their business, which is a dying business. Let's keep it real. Hooters is falling off the map. And the thing is like,

And the food sucks, by the way. Oh, yeah. The food is not good. So fire me, Hooters. Yeah. The thing is, like, I never talked about, like, the bad or, like, ins and outs of Hooters until they fired me. And so I was like, okay, I'm going to make a video about what it's really like working at Hooters. Even though I loved working there, obviously, there's pros and cons to everything that you work at. Yeah, for sure. So...

the my manager had came out and he was like we need you to take this video down now um they said that they're gonna have discussed it like in corporate office and I don't think anything's gonna happen but I'm just letting you know like you're gonna have to take that down because they said that's like a huge no-no I'm like okay oh my god so like I hurry up and I take it down and um I was off for the next two days and my manager um starts calling me and I'm

I already knew it. Like, as soon as I seen the call, I was like, they're about to freaking fire me. And I was already going to leave Hooters, like, a couple months after because I had started working at, like, a nighttime, like, club bar, which I was making so much more money. And I didn't want to leave Hooters, but it was exhausting. And Charlotte was nowhere near how Fayetteville was. Like, it was not as good. So...

I got fired like on my day off and she was like, I'm sorry. Like I tried to fight for you, whatever, whatever. Like, I'm so sorry because she knows like how much I love working there. And I was just like, dang, like this is so crazy. But, but the silver lining is, is that when you started doing social media full time? Yeah. So I started working at this other bar, um, and making more money and I'll go live. And, um, I was doing that and social media and,

And then I ended up moving back to, like, closer to Raleigh, where I live now. And that was in May of this year. And I was like, when I moved back, like, I'm not going to be as close to my parents. Like, how am I going to work? And I was like, I'm just about to take the leap of faith. And I'm just about to freaking do social media. And, like, all my family would be like...

What are you going to do? Like, you're talking about doing social media full time. Like, how are you even going to do that? Yeah. And...

it was a little rough at first I was like um what am I doing like I would get so stressed out answering emails with like sponsorships and stuff and like I was so like overwhelmed but I was like making like I make more than like I've ever made now because I'm like and I'm like what if I never took that leap of faith like what if I just stay even if nobody believes in you you gotta always believe in yourself how do you feel about it now mom now that she's doing yeah I'm so

Yeah. It's crazy to watch what she's built. Right. And I think it's amazing. You know, people, there's that website that we will, we shall, uh, shall remain unnamed. And it's like, people will pick apart. I don't go on there. I went on there whenever fucking dims came on and fucking, uh,

Yeah, it was enough for me. So I won't go on there. But, you know, I feel like those people over there always have bad things to say about people. But literally the love outweighs the hate because it's like I tell everybody that comes on the podcast. We all have like our own little cult followings that just love us and literally just love

wake up every day to watch what we do. Right. And I think it's a beautiful thing, you know, to watch what you've built, especially doing vlogs and stuff like that, because not a lot of people do those. I've always been a vlogger too, except I did it on YouTube too. And then I just started slowly bringing it over to TikTok, which now I won't even vlog on fucking YouTube anymore. It's so much easier on TikTok. Yeah. And YouTube silences, silences me and, you know, fucking just like always censors me. I'm always in trouble. Right.

But how has TikTok changed your life? Literally in so many ways. I'm so grateful. And...

I never like thought I would hit a million. I never thought I would hit two million. And I hit two million like overnight. Like I hit one million and then it was like a month or two. Yeah, there was a minute where you were literally growing so fast. I know. I was like, what the heck is going on? Yeah. And it literally came from – and like that's the thing when you're a content creator. You have to pay attention to what they want to see. And like obviously do what you love as well, but like what they want to see. And like one of the things was like me going to like Marshalls or Ross or like whatever and finding like the pink glittery –

like cheap juicy couture like and everyone would just and like now everyone's like on a hunt like let me go into burlington and see what i can find they post videos and like it's just so i think that was one of my things that that drew me to you because everything that you love is my era you know like the playboy bunnies the pink the right like all the stuff your whole i guess they call it what now y2k aesthetic is what it's called some call it like mcbling trashy

McBling. I love that. That's awesome. No, I love it though. And like, this is all the rhinestones, all of it. Like, I love it. It doesn't suit everybody. And that's the thing. Like some people come on there like Susan, I'm so sorry that my aesthetic doesn't match your like pioneer woman. Yeah.

Yeah. Like not the pioneer woman. She was doing a signing one time we were on tour and she was doing a signing at a Walmart one time. And let me tell you something, those pioneer women fucking that fan base is mean. Oh, that's what I'm saying. If you cut them in line, they will fucking shank you with a pot.

dude. Like they do not give a fuck. They'll hit you in the head with a fucking pioneer woman frying pan. They don't give a shit, dude. I was like, I never even knew what a pioneer woman was until that fucking happened. But it's like a whole cult for real. So 2023 is coming up. What does Jade Amber want to do in 2023? So I want to start my own business. And right now I'm like,

in between like what exactly i want to do like i'm like do i want to do merch but at the same time i'm like no like i want my own like shop like i just want like a whole bunch of stuff honestly like we got to start somewhere you know always start somewhere and just keep building yeah um don't miss out on the bag you know don't right there's a saying that my husband says and i can't fucking remember it it's like don't get in the way of perfect by trying to

do perfection. Right. Like you're, you're going to have to start at some point. It's not, but that's like when you started YouTube, whatever, like I was, I started on my phone and people were still watching it. And now like I use a camera. Yeah. It's like, it's, I'm going through that right now with our blogs. Literally me and Mimi had this conversation today. Cause I'm trying to hire a new videographer for our team. And I was just like,

I don't like this. And I was like, you know what? I'll just fucking pay somebody to follow us around with a camera phone. She's like, no bitch, it's time to elevate, you know? Yeah. But you have to start somewhere. And that's what like I've been telling myself. So I'm like in the process, I've been doing like my research on like trademarking a lot of stuff, but then like, I was like getting scared. Cause there's a whole bunch of like legal stuff. And I'm like, I have to get an attorney. Like what?

Like, I'm just like so confused. Yeah, but it's so easy. And actually a trademark attorney reached out to me on TikTok. I'll give you her page. Okay. And you know, maybe just because we're all kindred spirits on TikTok, you know, maybe she can help you with that. Right. But yeah, I definitely want to have like my own shop. And like at some points,

time like I want to have meet and greets now that COVID it's not over but like that has calmed down right but like I want to meet my supporters face to face I want to know like oh my god you're the girl that's like literally commenting on every video like that I've ever made and like do stuff like that and I want to like get on YouTube more but I don't know some people say they want me to have a podcast but I say like and um too much why do it what do you mean like

do it literally it'll it'll become your whole little like steez so I know I'm like I don't even know like what I would talk about though girl I think you got enough to talk about right you'll have no problem just put a mic in front of you you'll be fine right but yeah so those are my plans for 2023 I don't really have any other like crazy plans though but I do want to start traveling and stuff since like me and Prince like we have all the time in the world almost but

Yeah. And especially like once Prince, he's like on a waiting list for this really good preschool, which I didn't even know was a thing. Like, I didn't know daycares and preschools have like year long. Oh, no. It's crazy. Yeah. Well, the good ones. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I went through that with our kid, too. Yeah. Yeah.

But, um, it's so hard for me to do like a whole bunch of stuff when me and Prince are together all the time, just because it's always just us. And people like do it a day in a life, do it in a day life. And I'm like,

girl, we do the same thing every freaking day. Like, just because we're always together all the time. They don't care. They just want to see you. They literally just want to see you. Right. But I think once Prince gets in preschool, like, it'll be good for him because he loves other kids. Like, he's so good. He's so nice. And he's almost, like, too nice to the point where, like, I'm like, if they hit you, you give them one chance. Yeah.

Yeah. You tell them don't do it again and they do it again? You gotta do it because I'm like, like these kids are freaking ruthless out here, but he loves kids. Like whenever we went to go tour, like his preschools and stuff, he's like, mom, I'm going to preschool. Like he's so freaking excited, but I think like it'll be good for me and him.

yeah I think it'll be good for me and him because like he'll get a break and be with his friends and then like I'll be able to like you know go to the gym and like do like things alone and then I'll pick him up and then we can like actually have quality time yeah I love it because we seem like a scheduled person I'm a scheduled person too like I like to have like if I don't have like

Certain weeks when I don't write down what I'm doing or what I need to get done, I just feel like trash. No, I understand. You're just kind of like a hot air balloon just going wherever. Yes, I'm like, I don't even know what I'm going to do today. What is going on? No, I get the same way. Well, Jade, it was really nice having you on, dude. I cannot wait to see what you do. And I just love watching you and Prince every day. Thank you so much.

And I just want you to keep doing what you're doing. Don't let any of the outside noise ever bother you or affect what you're doing. Yeah, I don't. It used to, but now I'm just like, y'all are going to talk. It's fine. Oh yeah. You just block it out. And the thing is, is this is what I tell everybody. We have to go looking for the negativity. It barely touches us. You know, like,

If anything, we get like what? 10 comments. Right. You know, that are fucking derogatory. Other than that, unless we go looking for it, we don't see it. So that should tell you how far their reach goes. Right. You know, so it's like whatever. We're still winning bitches. Yeah. So well, why don't you shout out where everybody can find you on social media?

So they're all Jade Amber, but there's a couple of ours and not so many ours for other ones. So my Instagram is jadeamber with four R's. My TikTok is jade.amber with five. If you look up jadeamber, it'll pop up. Yeah. But, um, and my YouTube is just jadeamber. And what about an only fans?

We ever going to see J Dan Brown only fans? Mom's like, how about mom? Mom, we ever going to see you on an only fans? She, she's literally told me before, like if I was your age. Yeah. She's beautiful. I've thought about it before, but I'm just like, I don't know.

I don't I just don't think I am like built for it yeah you gotta be strong like yeah real strong like I'm strong but I don't know if I'm that strong it's a different it's a different uh walk of life too and if you don't have to do it don't do it right but I just had to ask that question because I know motherfuckers if you ever dropped a jade amber fucking only fans I would be like get that bag immediately that's all I'm gonna say yeah

I love it. Well, thank you so much for coming on, baby. I really appreciate you. Thank you. It's been so fun. Thank you. And I thank you guys for tuning in to another episode of dumb blonde. I will see you guys next week. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye.
