28 facts about me that I’ve never told anyone - Ep 26

We're not playing right now, guys. I'm absolutely going to make sure that that frickin' thing is charging and the record button is on. Because I've been here, done that. And if you know you fucking know. Guys, welcome back to My To Love, the podcast with Sylvie aka the Motherfucking Audity. If you're like watching this on YouTube, then you definitely see that this is home. I am back at home in New York. I am still alone. And if you're not caught up yet, I think you guys will be the first to know. Or maybe my vlog channel, I'm still not sure how the videos are going to go live. But I have officially not officially moved out of my New York City apartment. And I'm currently homeless. Oh my god, guys, it's been so long since we spoke. I missed you so much. One in one at least. I think the last episode of Endurance was really special because all her fans, the grangies, are absolutely obsessed with her and they love her. And it was really nice to see because that's one of our higher performing episodes we've ever had. So shout out to Endurance Grand for giving us so much love. Shout out to my mom for being an amazing first guest. Guys, I have COVID. I have a fucking COVID. So my god, I hope my knee wasn't blocking my face that entire time because I would be terrible for the camera. Let me double check that this thing is actually recording because your girl got in trouble with Donald when I came back with the Endurance episode because it was not recording. Oh my god, I sound amazing. Should I do ASMR, guys? Hello, odd fam or as I like to call the pod fam pod fam reporting live from New York City my final days in my New York City dream apartment before I am homeless. I am sick. With COVID, the C word I did not get COVID for I did not get COVID for five whole years since it started in 2020 and your girl went to Canada and then she went to Ghana and we are not pointing any fingers. But a quaba, a quaba. That just means welcome in Tweet I'm guessing which is a Canadian language but that also means I am pointing my fingers to Ghana for giving me COVID. I still have my love for that country so I'm not going to fight Ghana because of that but your girl has COVID and when I got back to New York, why am I so listening to this like this? No, oh my god, that's such a different experience guys. Okay, if you're just listening on Spotify and I watch it on YouTube, I'm currently like listening to myself. I now understand why people have headsets when they do podcasts because I love this like the sound of my own voice feels like I'm in a different world and I don't want to take the earphones off because then it feels like I'm just talking out into the abyss but when I have my voice in my ear, it feels like it's this cozy thing. So I don't think me leaning with headphones like this would be a fun clip for social media but I can do this for a few seconds. I think I like this a lot. Is this weird guys? If you're watching this, let me know if this is weird. I don't care. This is going to be a very weird episode because I am sick with COVID. But I wanted to pull out a podcast episode for you guys because that's what we do in my two loud and I just celebrated my 28th birthday sick at home with COVID. I think I just posted that vlog I think on Sunday. So if you're gonna cut up on my vlog channel, go go be cut up on fam. Like go join the vlog fam. But I'm here guys. Okay, let's see. Let's see. What do we want to talk about? I turned 28. I have COVID. I've been home in New York. I'm leaving New York, which is a big, big thing. Let me check my iPad actually because let's not get distracted or else Donald is going to yell at us. The first episode back in the city in New York was supposed to be with me and Donald and a very, very, very, very, very raunchy, exciting episode. But unfortunately again, your girl got COVID. So Donald unfortunately is not here. He misses y'all very much. I can't wait to bring him on back to the podcast. I feel like Donald was technically our first guest. You know what I mean? He is also a producer in the podcast, but the most part he was our first guest. Like he was the one who got me super comfortable with talking with someone and guys, okay, okay, okay. I'm learning. This is my first podcast ever. Okay, I know that I talk over people. But let me explain. I don't think I talk over people in a rude way. I think I talk over people because I get excited and because I know them. For example, I know my mom so well that like when she's talking, I'm so excited to finish her sentence for her. Because I know her so well that I know exactly what she's about to say. So I tend to already answer what she's about to say and then respond to what I know she's about to say. So that's the same thing that happens with Donald and the same thing that happened with endurance because I know endurance so well, I know Donald so well. And so whenever we're having conversations, you know, I get really excited. I get excited with my brain. You've seen that I have ADHD guys. So even when I'm talking to myself, I'm like responding to myself. If you've heard me, especially on my vlog channel, you guys know, so having in a lot of comments that made me feel so bad. I'm like, am I a terrible interviewer? I don't think so guys. I swear. I just get really excited. I feel like I'm like a Maya papaya on love Island. I feel like I'm just like, I mean, I'm just trying. I just wanted to address that because I felt some type of way. Also, you guys, I'm going to be very honest with this episode too. I did take a editable. And I'm drinking a red bull. This cannot be good for my heart. I just feel like I'm in my feelings. Okay, because I have COVID, bro. And I know I've said that so many times because I've never had this before. And the first three days of COVID was hell. Like I have never felt that sick in my entire life. And I was not even that sick. Like I've heard the stories about COVID and I know people lost their lives. But I just, I thought was like a floor cough type situation, except I was having headaches. My body felt heavy. I couldn't breathe sometimes when I was sleeping. My nose was, it was just, it was bad. So your girl was very much like in her feelings. And then I had such a big plan for my 28th birthday. And for that not to have happened to, I just was not in the best place mentally. But I've been doing such a great work with therapy and like movement and stuff that like, one idea didn't really affect me, but your girl turned 28. I was going to do like a whole cake and like balloons and stuff. But I did that for the vlog. So like go watch my vlog. I think it went off on Sunday. And the vlog I kind of, you know, the little acceleration. I got like an ice cream cake. I sat down. I cheered for myself. And I very much felt very lonely by wasn't alone. If that makes sense. Like, I think for my 25th birthday, if you guys don't know, I think I was doing like a whole cute thing on Snapchat the other day. For my 25th birthday, I threw like a three day shenanigans bash in DC when I used to live in DC. Like I had X's in town all mingling. I spent like $25,000 on my 25th birthday. Oh, I didn't know. I didn't catch that. Oh, yeah, now I wasn't dead. I'm having a lot of those sometimes I never talked about like I just thought I had such a big party that I was spending money. I did not have on that party. I think that's when I got my amics card, my platinum card. I just got it, I think. And my dumbass decided that it was a really good time for me to let me just confess. It was, I just felt like it was a good time for me to spend the money. Cause when I first qualified for the amics card, the platinum, it gave me unlimited spending. So I was like, Oh, a credit card with a limited spending. How much can I spend? I spent $46,000 on my credit card. $46,000 that I did not have. Then this wasn't. Yeah. When I was 25, those three years ago. Ah, let me spend my day. Okay, yeah, that happened. And it was just really bad. And like the friends who came, I'm my friends who have for the people there anymore, like we're not that close, but it was fun. Like it was a fun time. My 26th birthday, I did a girl's trip to Vegas. That I did not break the bank for actually got a brand to pay for that. Cause I think I worked with the Venetian in Las Vegas. I went to Vegas for my girls. I always wanted to do a girl's Vegas trip. I went on it. I hated Vegas so much guys. Let's talk about it real quick. I don't think Vegas. If you guys don't know, or if you're listening, you're like, what's Vegas or who's Vegas? Or is Vegas Vegas less Vegas Nevada in America? It's a state like a city in America in Nevada is the state. Okay. See, that's why I'm not go to geography. Yeah. Let's Vegas Nevada, right? And then I just decided like I just didn't like Vegas. And it was because Vegas is not for black girls. Like I just it just wasn't for black girls. Like they were very like body conscious. They were very rude. I was working with a hotel themselves and like, we'll go to the club. And they would like not give me my section that I paid for. And they would have like a bunch of white girls literally walk past me to go into the section that I paid for. There was just a lot of like the music wasn't great. People were just drunk and using drugs. Like it just wasn't the vibe. But I brought like six to seven of my friends who like are all really, really cool. And so we just did a girls trip. I always wanted a girls trip. I was like, for my 26, I'm going to do a girls trip. And you actually ended up really well. None of the girls like fall or anything. I was just like really sweet. So that was fun. I wouldn't do Vegas ever again. I really only would ever go to Vegas. If I was going to if I was going to do like a Beyonce residency or like a Bruno Mars residency. Like I'll go for a residency like a show. I wouldn't go for like the party scene. There was one time with this party called Drea's Drea's Drea's something in Vegas. Guys, they said to enter was $150 as a girl. Like because sometimes I'm like, you know, the patriarchy works because as a girl, I love that I don't have to go to the club. They said, no, bad bitch. I'm a bad bitch. I'm listening to somebody. I'm going to pay $150 and boys had to pay 250. We have any boys with us but I was very annoying. And then we got in and we couldn't sit to get a table is about $10,000. Who is paying that's kind of money for what's as it comes with God. Okay, well God forbid. But you know what I mean. So I didn't like that for 26 but I had a good time. I cried in my birthday though because like this club just made the like the entire thing trash, but it was okay. 27 was last year. I was working with American Express and I got to go on a free all expense pay trip to the four seasons and send kids and Nevis. That was a fun birthday. It was my first ever solo trip. Like it was a brand trip because the brand was sponsoring the trip, but I went solo. And like there was no brand person there. I did just give me an American Express, gave me credit and said go thrive. That was my 27th birthday. Oh wow. I've actually been I've lived life guys. What the heck. So it's like, they was like, you know, I think when I started to remember they have had like layers and layers of this stuff. I actually forgot about that. San kids was fun. San kids was fun. The people there are so sweet and so nice. Like it felt very like a fun luxury escape. And the four seasons is like a bowl away from the main island, Nevis. So it was actually on San kids and San kids. No, San kids and Nevis. The four seasons was on Nevis, which is a smaller island when San kids and Nevis at both islands, San kids is bigger. So second, it's like the party. Alan Nevis is the chill island. The four seasons is on Nevis. And Nevis is not that big. So it was very much like a. I went to the Nevis. I went to the four seasons. It was maybe 20 guests on the property. Maybe everybody else was like fun. And they were all from Nevis. So San kids. And you can walk out of the four seasons literally to the beach. And then on the beach. The locals also there who live in Nevis. And like I just smell like such fun people. Like I definitely had like a one night stand to them, by the way. I was taking this. I think I'll send this to a friend the other day. I had a one night stand on the on my birthday last year. So the thing was actually really great. That was really fun. I should have never said that. So this guy from my birthday, I was just like, you know, when you're on a solo trip, the weather is nice. I was drinking rum. I was like, yeah, rum, the rum drink beach rum. Do you see rum? What is that? Rum, rum punch. I was drinking rum punch. My good. I was drinking rum punch, rum punch in the fucking Caribbean. I could not hold myself back. I was feral. So I could not hold myself back. And I just remember the like every day on that vacation, I was like, I just, I need somebody needs to be here with me. Like I regretted not having a plus one and going on that damn solo trip. And I was like, it was my birthday. It was the day after my birthday. I did the whole kick thing. I celebrated. I needed to die. I needed to, I needed to fuck really good. I'm having a lot of you. So I just was like, yeah, there's this random guy. He wasn't even like, you know what? He has BDE. I think that's what it was with this particular person. And I just needed someone at the moment. And nobody else was available. And I was just like, fuck it. You're going to do. And I literally just shot my shot. I met. It was a local. I met him at the beach. And I was like, hey, I met his friend because he disappeared for something that he left. And I remember telling a bartender and his friend, like, hey, I think that guy is really hot. It's cute. I just need a body for the night. Can you please give him my number and my room number, which is not safe when I think about it. I give a stranger my room number. And I was like, tell him to come over tonight. And I was like, if this random man who might not be jealous of jealous gives this message to this guy. And he shows up on my door. That's the best birthday present for me. And that's what happened. The man showed up. It was a fun time. It was actually a fun time. He was very, it was very fun. And I just realized now that this. This is why I'm not on the podcast by myself because I have a lot. But yeah, that was a fun birthday. 27 was fun. That was fun. Actually, I can't take that. I can't. Yes, guys, I'm reminiscing because I think I was thinking about it. I think I said this on the vlog. Cause anyways, that was fun. Um, but yeah, so that was 27 and then this is 28 sick in New York. How ex, but. Okay. No, I still had a department then last year, I think. So it really doesn't matter. But I'd be like, oh, blah, blah. Like I didn't have this apartment. I did. Yeah, but we're saying that I've had really good things going on. So I'm really happy for 28. And I have like a bunch of upcoming travel happening. Uh, that I'm really excited about. And that is what I'm really leaning towards. I'm really, really excited. I'm going to share all of that on the vlog. But for the podcast, essentially, I'm like, I enjoy the solo episodes more because I feel like it's helping me practice how to chat with you guys, how to like continue bringing out my thoughts. And if you let me yap into a mic, I will come up with something to say. So I really like the solo sessions, but I've been loving having guests. Cause I can see my interview skills coming out, but I can also see the way I'm learning about the people around me. So for the next couple of episodes as I'm traveling, I might say what it's going to be on the road. And which is going to be having fun. Like I wasn't introducing to my friends mostly creatives influencers, normal people who just I think are really, really cool and who are the loudest in their field. Like endurance is like huge in her field. My mom is incredible in her field. Cause she's my mom. I'm Justin and any are like incredible and pioneers in their field as well. I have a bunch of guests coming up. Joyce, of course, simply shy in the UK, like a bunch of creators, but I also don't want to limit myself to anyone to if you guys have any people that you're like, Sophie, you need to have a conversation with this person. That person could be your uncle. It could be your mom. It could be anyone you think is really loud and has really bold opinions about anything. Let them know that myself is going on the road and if I'm in their city or country or whatever. And we happen to just meet. There's always a studio. There's always a mic that I'll make sure is recording. So I can interview them. Okay. Guys, I was yapping. I need to drink my red bowl. She's really bad. Cause I really should stop. Did you guys hear that? Wait, I want to go up again. Oh my god. You guys, I love this mic thing. Okay. Um, yeah, guys. So I found out that I got to you guys sent me a bunch of voice notes for my birthday. First of all, thank you so much. That's really sweet. My team told me about it. And I'm like, okay, we'd love to play some of them. I'm going to play all the voice notes on the episode. But I'm going to play some. I'm going to listen to the rest. And I just want to say thank you to everyone who played me voice notes. I love you all very much. I'm just going to react to them. And yeah. Hey, what's up, Sophie? It's AJ. I know this is for the pot fan, but we found their real life. So it still applies. But anyway, just wanted to say a happy birthday to you. Congratulations on everything and all your successes continue to inspire us. You're doing really great. We're all proud of you. And so make sure you enjoy your day. And I'm looking forward to continue to watch your girl in this new year and onwards. Have a good one. Oh, my God. Okay, guys, that's from my friend, AJ. And that's a really sweet message to start one of my biggest things about my friends is that they support me heavy, like heavy, heavy, heavy, especially like AJ. It's like a cis gender. And that's an important thing. Like this is a cis gender man who has been friends with me for a really long time. And he watches my vlogs, watches the podcast. He listens to the podcast. Like he's been an avid supporter. And like, I love AJ down. Thank you, AJ for showing me love and loving me and for the sweetest message. He also like called me normally because we're friends. Happy birthday, Sophie. I wish you all the best and I wish you many, many, many more years to come. I see what you're doing out there. You're my main to you. Inspire me a lot.

I'm going to say thank you so much for sending that because I've generally been it. That is so sweet. Oh, guys, I'm blushing. Hey, Sophie, this is Caritas. I want to wish you a happy birthday.

I feel like I know Caritas. I feel like I'm going to go my Instagram right now because she said it. She was like, great. I love when people are like direct. I will say like I don't like when people tell me to follow them back because she was like, what if I don't know you know, I'm just randomly following you by no Caritas has been like a follower from the beginning. Wait, I can't find her. I think I'm used to her on Snapchat, but not on. Where is it? What is her Instagram? Because yeah, I follow her back on Snapchat, but I can't find her on Instagram. Caritas. I can't find you Instagram. Send me Instagram. So I can follow you back. Caritas. My love, maybe the same. It's not the same. I know, I know, I know what I know. I'm going to be so mad. So I'm going to remember her Instagram and then be upset at myself for not remembering her Instagram. That's what I feel like is going to happen right now. Anyways, okay, sorry guys. That was so sweet. Thank you, Caritas. I love you so much. I'm also going to let you guys know I am so tempted right now to play all these into X. Not because I don't want to listen to the episodes, but I'm telling you I always listen to something to X. Okay, so my fault. I'm doing to X. Mike, we have a bad day. Long time no see. God bless you. All your dreams come true. Every single one of them. And they got your hearts today. We can always get this. We are on our knees. We are begging. Please do. I will call. I just want to talk to you. I love you so, so much. If you bought a lot of your suites and said it, I will buy you and get Mara. I will buy. I love you so much. God bless you. If I bottle up my sweat, you're going to buy it. Let I dare you. You know what? I'm going to do it. And then we'll see. Also, I hate sweating guys. Thank you so much. That's so sweet. Everyone keeps asking me to don't meet and greet guys. And like the last time I did a meet and greet ish was I think in 2018 or 2019 in Nigeria. I did have a lot of people show up to that. That was crazy. And I was nothing. That was not even audited. Like her finest to whatever. So that is crazy. That has been that long. I think I'm going to do it. I'm going to I'm going to do a meet and greet. I'm going to do a meet and greet in London. I'm going to do a meet and greet in Ghana. I'm going to do a meet and greet in Nigeria. I will say I'm not going to do the quintessential like come here. I think I'm going to do an invite only meet and greet like 25 people. That's my lucky number. 25 people in each of those places, especially invited that follow me. We would all we would do. I'm making this shit up as I go. Donald remind me of remind me about this. We're going to do five people who have a listen to the podcast. Five people who listen to my YouTube channel. We're going to pick from five followers podcast YouTube. Snapchat and I'm trying to see Instagram would take Instagram. I'm sorry. I'm such an Instagram girl. Okay, we're going to put them. Hi Sophie. Happy birthday, babes. Oh my god. You're an icon and inspiration. I've been here since COVID. I've started watching these. I was a teenager. I'm your baby. And I've grown up like watching you have an inspiration and I'm so ready to look up and I aspire to when I'm so proud. I know we all are. I love you. I pray that you stay happy. I hope that you walk stronger. Beautiful. I have to do it. It stays intact. Yeah, I want you to have the best year yet. And I kind of really hope that by the time I'm 28 I achieve all the things in my life that's, you know, the dreams that you have soon in my life. Oh my god. Happy. Yeah. Yes. You know, doing big things and doing it on a free. Does you say I love you so much. We love you so much. Happy birthday, Sophie. Happy, happy, happy birthday, Sophie. I hope you have the most amazing celebration with your friends. We do a lot of things with family and have such a good time. Obviously, many more happy birthdays in the future, many more amazing celebrations. I also, you know, do really want to thank you for. I feel like you're such an inspiration to I personally relate to your journey as an engineering person, people who are going to write up on that. So I really like many of the things you would say, you know, focus on like the first experiences and things that you kind of share in your personal journey. I don't really do. And I get to be inspired by all your completion, inspired by your essay. And because you need to, you know, remove the limitations in my mind and strive for my goals with both with like bold and bold audacity over and over again. I really do. So like, we appreciate them. Love you. We'll keep seeing more episodes. Thank you for, you know, thank you for bringing, you know, it's like we're enjoying our lives and we enjoyed content, keeping your thing, keeping great. And yeah, have a great day. Have a good one. Thank you guys so much. Oh my God. Guys, like I swear, like it sometimes feels like I don't know what I'm doing. And I think that's the biggest, like that's my biggest, like hang up about my story is like I constantly tell you guys, I don't know what I'm doing. Like I'm very raw and honest. And sometimes I wish I could just shut up and just pretend and you guys would never know that I don't feel like I know what I'm doing. So to hear you guys call me bold or audacious and say like you're proud of me and like you see my journey. It generally means a lot to me. It really does. Like today for this episode, I was like freaking out. Like I don't think I can talk for 25 minutes by myself, but we've really been yapping. I feel like I'm going to look at the time now and be like, oh shoot. If you give me a mic, I can talk because I'm talented and I know what I'm doing. So if you're watching this like bro, we're very similar. In fact, we're probably the same person. Okay, like this podcast is a vibe is a thing. I want you to know like I'm a fucking normal person. No one who does this shit is special. We're all just figuring out we just had the audacity to start. And I just had the audacity today to like pop a fucking edible during some rent bowl, talk to my producer and say I'm going to set up a camera and we're just going to yap away. And I'm so grateful I did because you guys see how hard I'm working and it means a lot to me. Okay, what's that I'm playing? There we go. Happy birthday to you. Happy. Happy. Happy. Happy. Happy. Happy. Happy. Happy to you. The audacity. I wish you nothing but the best in this new area of your life. May 28 bring you a lot of joy, a lot of patience, a lot of gratitude, a lot of perseverance, a lot of wisdom in every of your life. But may you keep on shining, so bright, so bright. And I've recosed. Even as you explore through the world, may love feel you like look at you because you deserve it. Love looking to Sophie. We love looking to you in everything that you do because you deserve it. Nothing but the best. Nothing but the best. You deserve it. Thank you so much. I want to know where your accent is from. Oh my god. That is so sweet. Thank you. That's all I was focused on. I want to hear your accent. But thank you guys so much for the messages in the comments. That is so sweet. I love that so much. Oh my god guys. That's so sweet. I'm like blushing thinking about it. But yeah, thank you. You're really 28. I'm really excited. I'm really happy. Let's talk about what I have coming up. So I am currently homeless. Like I told you guys and I'm you guys have to follow my entire journey on that on my vlog channel. And I am homeless by choice. I feel like you've been saying homeless is a bit dramatic. I just mean that like I don't have a least currently sign in anywhere. I actually felt like I found the most beautiful place in the Jersey area that I really wanted to move to you guys. My dream space like this is the second time I found a dream house that I really wanted and it was right. But beautifully in my budget. It was perfect. It was a new build. No one had lived there. And I got rejected because I am a single black woman. And it's something that I'm having to come to terms with because for one of the rejections, they really were asking me like, what kind of online content do I do? Do I do only fans? Do I do sex work like they were asking me those questions to the landlord, which I understand kind of because like maybe you just want the right person to rent your apartment, but it shouldn't really matter if they can pay. You know what I mean? But I've been struggling to get a house just because I wanted a house. I know questions have been struggling. I'm planning to travel and I was just like, I don't want to get a lease if I'm never home. And I pay a lot of stupid money from my apartment in New York right now. So I'm like, this has to go let me save that money. Do something else with it. So I have an extra almost 10k stash now because I'm not paying rent that I can travel the world with. And also just like go around and hang out and spoil my friends. So I think that's what I wanted to do. But there's a little part of me that was still very hesitant about it. I just found a dream house. Maybe I should just have that house still since it's cheaper. I still do that and then do other things. But then I didn't get the house and I was really, really, really, really, really, really, really sad about it. So I'm documenting that journey in my vlog. So if you want to go check that out, you can go check it out because yeah, your girl was really sad about it. I'm not going to front. But yeah, there are a bunch of upcoming travels coming up and then I think we're just going to keep house hunting until I find the place that's perfect for me because I don't want to move. If I move into the house, I don't want to move out of the house for at least three years. And so I want to build my studio there. I just. I think it's time for Sophie to settle down not settle down like relationship wise. I mean settle down for work. Like I want to have my own like office that is a fully functioning like studio space because I have so many ideas. And every time I've been telling people what my goals are, I'm like, I want to have my own production house. I want to have my own media house. And to do that, I need space for that. And I can't keep pouring money into an apartment like this. I just doesn't have enough space for me to do the things I want to do because it is time. 30s knocking and I want to make sure I have my own office like the Audity LLC as its own office by 30. So save this clip guys for when 30 happens and you see my like New York City office space and you're like, Sophie, you said and I'll be like, I know. Manifestation. Okay. So yeah, that's pretty much it. I don't think I would ever move out of the New York City area. I really, really loved living in New York. It just doesn't feel like the apartments in New York fit my plans for my life. Especially because I'm not getting an absurd amount of money and what I mean by that is it's different if I was. No, honestly, that's just not it. Like I've lived in the city and I love New York. But I'm realizing that I really want a car. I enjoy and miss having my car. I miss having a car and I miss driving a lot like driving gave me kind of freedom that I forgot. I enjoyed until like I think you guys saw my vlog anyways. I went to Dallas for a bit and I've been traveling a lot more and I've been driving when I've been traveling. And y'all, you should see how happy I get in a fucking car. Like I driving was the first thing I could do in America that made me feel like I was human. I wasn't some immigrant alien just randomly trying to survive. Like I got a car like I qualified for a car. My route and money got me a car. I don't know if y'all understand that. So I really want a car. It's a living in the city makes no sense to have a car. So I'm like looking at the outside of the city. So I found the house. It's just I'm definitely going to be in New York. I don't think I can live in Atlanta, Dallas or LA or DC anymore. I think New York is home. I just maybe would live outside of New York. We're still working the city. So we are still doing a TBD on that. But for right now, I'm doing a whole series on my vlog channel called The Nomad Diaries because technically I am a nomad now. Nomad, I don't know what nomad means. Actually, let's figure that out. All right, guys, this episode was supposed to be 28 fun, crazy, interesting, maybe facts about me. And that's like what I was going to do because again, COVID has a girl down bad. And so I'm like just yapping away. And I was like, you know what? Let's just do that. So I'm going to do 28 fun facts about me to celebrate my 20th birthday with you guys. Let me know if you guys knew all these facts. If you got one out of 28 or you got 20 or 28 in the comments on Spotify, Apple Music, I heart radio, SyriXXM YouTube podcast, all anywhere you listen to your podcast or even on the website. Okay, number one fact about me is I shave my head by choice. This I feel like is a universally known fact, but every time I get a, why are you bald? Why did you cut your hair? Why did you cut your hair question? I realize that the internet is a very vast space. And some people might know my content, but not know why I cut my hair. Or if I have a lapisha or cancer, I have neither. I shave my head every three days. I exfoliate. I use a hot water towel. I have a whole scalp care routine because I don't like hair. I really don't like hair. I'm actually trying to start doing laser because I just want to bald koochi and a bald leg and a bald arm. I don't have like a really hairy body. So I think I'm not too pressed about that. But yeah, your girl definitely, definitely, definitely is bald by choice. Just hopefully this clip goes everywhere. So I don't, I don't answer that question anymore, but people are still going to ask me. Some people ask me when I'm going to grow my hair back. I don't think I would ever grow my hair back, but with Sophie never say never. If I was going to grow my hair back, I would hope someone would put me in a coma for the first two, three months. Because it is the most irritating thing to know I've gone to go from no having hair to trying to grow your hair. Because even the days where I'm like day five and I need to shave and I just con shave at the moment, I have migraines. My scalp is itchy. It's uncomfortable. I hate it. It's just, it just sucks. So I'm like, it was going to take a lot for me. Sophie's a girl hair back. Okay. Number two, I have about six names. So my full name is my first name is Adir on K. So Sophie's on my first name. That's my middle name. Adir on K. Sophia. I want to be la world. We're talking. Adir on K. Yes, never mind. I have five names. My last name is a brain. But those are my names, like my full, my mother and my father and my grandparents and all those people gave me those. So I have five names. That's a fun fact about me. My favorite name is Adir on K. Adir on K means the crown of seeing something to pamper. Because I'm supposed to be a soft girl and I live a soft life. But nobody calls me that except for people who knew me before 2014. I feel like that's the best way to explain it. If you knew me before 2014, you called me Ron K. Adir on K. If you knew me post 2014, then you called me Sophie. Just belched. Oh, you guys didn't really hear it. Another fun fact about me is something that is universally known. I am Nigerian born and raised. I have the audacity of an Nigerian. I have the courage of an Nigerian. I have the balls of an Nigerian. I love being Nigerian. I think it's the best thing in the world. It makes sense because of all the main character energy. I exude. You guys just know Nigerians. I go to the point now and people are like, oh my God, where are you from? I'm like, I'm like Nigeria. What would you expect with knowing who I am? You have to know Nigerian. I love being Nigerian. Hey, what the country is going through. I haven't been home in about, give it a take, three years. I think I've been home in 2021, four years actually. That's not good. I'm going to go home this year. I've not been home in a while and I was born and raised back in Nigeria. I've lived in America for 10 years. I'm an immigrant. Those are an extra addition point, something fun facts. If you know my content, you know this. I am the last of 12 children. I finally confirmed that number. They are 12 and then I'm the number 13. I'm the last of 13. The closest to me is like eight years older than me. There was a lot of distance before this gorgeous angel that you're listening to was born. I really like my voice guys. At my mom's only daughter. She just has one special child, which is me. Fudge my brother. He doesn't matter. He does. He's an older brother. He's 10 years apart. But at my mom's only daughter. That's another fun fact about me. Number six, I am bisexual. I feel like this is something that people know about me and people don't. If you know you know thing, I am a bisexual woman who is very much interested in more women. But I have dated all around the spectrum. Actually, even interracially, I have dated two. But I just, I love women. I've always loved women. I don't know what this is. But it's also harder to say that and you know be Muslim and you're a bot and I'm enjoying an immigrant. I just feel like too much. If you guys know my history, my mom and my family. Like I just keep you know what I like. I just feel like I keep choosing the hard things in life. Like I could have done the easy thing of gay married and having four kids by now. That's not me. I could have done the easy thing of wearing the hijab and praying every day. And like gay married is some mom and that's not happening. I could have done the easy thing of going to law school and you know doing this. That didn't happen. And that's just because I just am the fucking oddity like shit. No. Like my poor mother like I don't like I am like literally I say this all the time. And I mean the most respectful positive way. I am a mother's worst nightmare because like I can't even help it. Like who I am as a person. I feel like as a child she like when she gave birth to me. She could tell like you're gonna give me trouble. So yeah, that's kind of a fun thing about me. I guess I really even ever talked about but I have tried to hint at a law on the podcast. And honestly I only say I'm bisexual because people can get very nosy. A bisexual orientation especially where I'm from. So if you know you know what I mean by that. But I've always been this is not a new thing. I've just never really spoken about it. I never really talk about my relationships that is online. But yeah, that's another fun fact. Oh, number seven. For like the first. Let's say like when I first started growing boobs till I think maybe like two, three years ago. I used to avidly refer to my boobs as tear drops. Like if you knew me intimately then you would know that call my boobs tear drops. Like I used to do that because I was so insecure about my breasts. Like I grew up being so insecure about my breasts because they fell like tear drops. And I would feel like everybody else around me just had better breasts than me. I don't know why I was the most random thing random. I swear to God. And it didn't help that was one time in college. I do not know how this person actually saw my boobs. I don't think they actually even ever saw them. I think it was just like with I was wearing a shirt like this or something else. I just remember the like a friend of mine. I said my boobs were like slippers. Like you know how like a slipper is like the little like thing where you put your toe in. Not toe like the thing in between your toe and then like you just wear it. You guys know slippers. Yeah. They were like we're like slippers and I remember like that used to hurt my soul so much. I would call them tear drops to make myself feel better and be like no they're not bad or they're not like slippers. They're just like tear drops. And so that's a fun fact about me. I have tear drop boobs and I'm very proud of them. And I love them so much. Number eight, fun fact about me. I'm loving about this because this one fact Donald made me put it in here because we have an episode coming up about it and he wants me to share. But another fun fact about me is that I think masturbation should be a normal. I think masturbation should be a normal part of the human life. I think masturbation should be as natural as like taking medicine or like taking a nap. That's a fun fact and it's going to be a special episode where we don't tackle that conversation because that's something that I've always wanted to talk about. But I don't want to talk about it from like a sexual nature. I just want to talk about it from like an act. Like some things that humans do and like women feel pleasure from. That is considered taboo or not good on both sides like men masturbating and women masturbating. And also like religious reasons and moral reasons and like policing human bodies and stuff like that too. Coming up but that's another fun fact about me. Number nine, I really really like dinosaurs guys. I am like, I am a Jurassic Park Godzilla. I'm a huge fan of dinosaurs. I feel like they did exist. People say they don't exist. They did exist. Dinosaur's existed. Existed is crazy. Dinosaur's existed and I just love raptors. I love the T-Rex. They know the usual. I'm not going to be like I'm a nerd and I'm really not. I just really love dinosaurs. I think they're cool. I love geology. That sort of thing. Not necessarily geography but geology. I actually studied geology in college. And I was wanting to be a paleontologist but no girl. I did not. No, I could don't remember those names. English was already hard for me as a second language. Imagine. Imagine I was just learning Gaganto Soros. Please. Let's not even go there. Okay. Number 10. I can read faster than the average human. That's one thing that like not a lot of people know about me. But I read really fast and I read at least a book or two every day. Okay. All two is crazy. If it's like a short book maybe. But I really have done two books in a day. Like if I was just sitting at nothing to do, I can read a book from like beginning to end in a day. That's how dedicated I am and that's how quick I am. My mom used to be worried that I never actually understood what I was reading because I read so fast as a kid until like she actually timed it with my teachers. And I was like, no, I just read fast. The way I talk, the way my brain processes things, like I have to read fast. So that's number 10. Number 11. I have read the Quran back to front about 20 times in my lifetime. I think that's such a cool fun fact. People love people don't know that about me. I am Muslim. And I feel like I say that after all the things I said earlier this episode just is such a contradiction. But my relationship with religion has always been very special to me, to me. So I'll say that. So I have done that. Another fact is I'm obsessed with Harry Potter. Actually, let me tell you guys I was supposed for my birthday this year. I was supposed to actually be going to London and going to Harry Potter world in London. Like that was all I wanted from a 28th birthday. Go to Harry Potter world in London, get my wand, get my thiz, do my, I wanted to do all of it. Drink part of beer, like everything. So that's why I was a little bit sad. So I'm hoping that I still get to do it. And so I remember they end that way. I will be, I will find a way to go to Harry Potter world. Remember they, I don't care. But that's exactly what I want to do. I am obsessed with Harry Potter. Another thing number 13. I drank my first like alcohol drink like tasted it when I was like 10 years old. Um, 10 or 11 years old. And it was like with my brother of course because he was just a terrible influence. I love him though. Shit. And I was 11 years old. I did not like it. So I never actually drank after that. Like I will take a sip. But I really just never was like alcohol just was not my thing. Also again, I was Muslim and alcohol isn't that permitted in Islam. And when I turned 21, I think when I graduated, I decided to take a sip again. And again, I didn't like it. So and then I found out I was also allergic to alcohol, which is another fun fact. I am allergic to alcohol. So I found out I was allergic to alcohol. So I stopped drinking and then COVID hit. And then I literally decided upon myself. And that's when I need to overcome my allergy to alcohol. So I literally would drink red wine and casted me goes to Keeler, episodic. Because that's how if you know me, you know, that's the only drink I ever order. And I train my body to not be allergic anymore. Like I would take Benadryl and then take a shot. And then if I feel sick, I'll go to our drink here. They'll give me a steroids shot. I'll go back to square one. And I've done that. So we're now like when I mix alcohol, I get break into hives. If I drink any liquor, that's not Casamigos. I still react a certain way, but not too bad. Just like itching body pain. Stuff like that. So that's a fun fact about me. Number 14. I have a master's in peace and conflict studies. I think this is something that I like to say a lot. If you don't know me, if you know me, you know I have a master's. But my master's in peace and conflict. That was my thing that I decided to do when I didn't end up wanting to go to law school. So I chose to do a master's instead. And I loved it. I love my master's. I definitely want to still use my degree. But I feel like I'm going to use it in a different really cool way. So stay tuned for that. But that's one thing. Number 15. Fact about me is I'm really, really, really scared of heights guys. Like I am terrified of heights. It's just. It is, I don't know. Like you would say this as I live on like the 50 fucking floor in my building. Yes, I live really high by I'm scared of heights. But I've been working my way through because it's one thing about me is I hate. I hate being afraid of stuff. I feel like. The fear is such a human thing. But it's a fear isn't human. Fear isn't can't speak. Fear is a human. God. Okay. That's why it can't be because of the age. Fear is a human reaction to something that ultimately holds you back from experiences. That is something that I want to tackle. I am terrified of heights. But I want to go bungee jumping. I was go skydiving. I once jump off buildings. I want to climb up the tallest building in the world. Like I want to go on adventures. Maybe not a hot hair balloon. I wanted to do that. But I just saw a recent thing about an excess. And I'm not sure. But I'm like, you know, that might be something I would enjoy doing. So I'm scared. I'm scared of heights. Another thing I'm scared of is the dark. So number 16, fact about me is I am terrified of the dark. I sleep with the light on. I sleep with lights on every time. Nobody can convince me that the dark is not evil. I don't care. I'm a grown woman who would always sleep with a night light. I just can't help it. How do you guys leave your houses without light? You just, you need to be able to see everything. When I'm eating, I need to see what I'm eating. Like I can't eat without seeing it. Like people who eat in the dark, how? Like I need to see a, like, I need to make sure there's no antenna food. I don't know why I would ever have antenna food. But like if I did, I want to be able to see it. So yeah, that's another fun fact about me. Number 17 is around food too. But I don't know if you guys know this fear of listening. You don't know what Gary is. But Gary is like cassava flakes. Essentially it's like a cereal. And a lot of Nigerians are like, maybe Africans eat. But I drink Gary a lot. And by a lot, I mean at least at least five to six times a week. Like I drink Gary every day. Like that is like my pacifier. It's a good bed. If I'm having anxiety attack, I drink Gary. If I'm sad, I drink Gary. If I have had a rough day, I drink Gary. Like I drink Gary a lot. I think that's why my vision is so bad. People say like Gary does not give you good vision. So maybe that's what it is. But that's something that's a fun fact about me. That's like my favorite food or snack is Gary. Number 18, I've run a marathon. I run my first marathon in New York Marathon last year in 2024. That was an incredible time. I think like that just changed my life running a marathon. I never thought I would ever run a marathon. And as I think back at it, I've not run as often as I thought I was going to run. Because like running is such a dedicated thing in itself. But I want to pick that back up because I really have the goal of running in every freaking country in the world. So your girl has to do that. Which is another fun fact about me. I want to run in every country in the world. Because I feel like that's the best way for you to see the country. So that's number 19. Number 20, I tell myself I was riding a bike. I never got taught. I just watched everybody around me. Like ride a bike and I was like, you know what? No, no, no, it's a ride a bike. And your girl learned how to ride a bike. That's pretty much it. I just learned how to ride a bike. Number 21, I can't skate. I have tried it. Like ice skating. Real ice skating. Skating in general. Anything that has two wheels, I have to balance on. I just don't have balance. Like I don't have balance. I don't like it. I've been trying to learn how to do it, but I just gave up. So I don't know how to do it. And that's a fun fact that I'm going to keep to. I don't think I'm ready to try. I feel like now I'm too old. Like to try to skate at 28. It's crazy. Like, why am I going to try to do it? No, I'm not going to attempt it. Number 22, I hate physical touch. And I somebody who gives a lot of warm hugs and like gets hugs from people. I'm not the most comfortable with actual physical touch. What I mean by that is, if I meet you out in the open and you say, oh my god, can I get a hug? I will hug you. Because it feels like I can hug when it's like, I don't want to explain it. When there's not too much of an uncomfortable emotion. If I have my best friend here and she's like, can I get a hug? I swear to you guys, it would feel like I want to pass out. If someone's trying to give me a hug to just touch me and feels like very intimate. It stresses me out a bit. So I might say this is like my intimacy issues maybe, but I really struggle with getting hugs. And I go hugs as a kid so I don't know what that like came from. But I'm not the most like physical touchy person. And most of my friends know that about me and it's not changed. I am very much still not a physical touch person. Number 23, I shower from my head to my feet. And when I was writing this one, my friend was like, why would you like, why is that a fact? And I was like, I know people who like couldn't change it up. And I don't want to send how you guys do that. I feel like that's a weird thing. Like, why would you shower from your feet first? The water is going to wash down anyways. So you might as well shower from the top and then wash everything down till the end. I don't know how to shower from my feet first and then go up. Because in my head, I'm like, the sponge already touched my feet. And my feet are the dirtiest part of me while they're not bringing that same dirty sponge to the top of me. Does that make sense? Like, how do you shower? Do you shower? Like, do you not care to just go straight to the armpits? Because then that's nasty. Because that's the same sponge from your armpit that's going to go on your chest and on your back. This is, I'm very actually very passionate about this. Let me know in the comments. Right? The only logical answer to showering is to shower from the top down. You wash your head first, then you wash your shoulders, your armpits. Just to make your back. You go to the front to the back. Each leg, bottom of your feet, and you're done. If you have to wash your hair, you've washed it already. And then your face is last in the shower outside of it. Let me know. I'm last number 23. Number 24, I have two dogs. Mystic Havu and Miss Kiara. One of my favorite movies of all time is The Lion King for Kids movies and number 26. My adult's favorite movie is Harry Potter, like the Harry Potter series. But yeah, I think I already said that with Harry Potter actually. That's one of the fun facts. Now I'm losing count of the time. I'm just having lost count of how many. I'm supposed to be saying. But anyways, yeah. I love Lion King. So my dogs are named Kiara and Kovu because Lion King Part 2 is the best Lion King. I don't know why people say they've never actually watched it. Lion King Part 1 is okay. Yeah, Mufasa. But Scar had a son. A son that had to hear about his father's wrongdoings and then continue to show love and support. Oh, the betrayer. Deception. Deception Deception. Deception. Deception. Deception. Deception. Daba-Daba-Daba. Never did that before. Okay. Number 27, I think his, I'm a full time content creator, and I've been full time since 2022 March and I've done this full time ever since and I really loved it. the last final fun fact about me is that I can do this. Okay, you guys see it? I'm like, if you can't see it, um, I'm like opening my nose really fast and I can like sing with it. But back to my 28, I am turning, I turned 28. I'm a cancer. But yeah, guys, that is today's episode. Also, guys, let me know if you're watching love Islander. Like what time you watch this episode, we already know we've gone past what I'm currently at with love Island, but everybody's talking about it. We're going to talk about it. I have never watched a single episode of love Island. Like I mean, like a full episode, I have never watched it. I attempted to start, but I just couldn't. My attention is spent I watched things. I listened to things in 2x. There's nowhere I was going to watch it. But I am a fully religious TikTok watcher, meaning that I know that as of right now, when I'm watching the episode, while TikTok watching the episode, Alondra and Nick made the fuck out. Okay, I don't know how Sierra is going to feel about that. Jerry Myers actually gone from the villa. He's not coming back guys. Um, first of all, Taylor hates Alandria and he needs to just focus on Clark. Clark is pretty funky. All who keep talking about her wig. That's not fair. She's really pretty. Coco is trying to get with ACE. ACE is not going to do anything. He's going to try to wait for Shelley. I do know that Shelley needs to come back with Chris. I can keep going. I have never watched a single episode of the season of love Island. And I know all these names and all these people. Yeah. Huda therapy. Sierra, I'm so sorry, girl. Nick is not your own focus on TJ. That's not his name. No, I see. I forgot that one. I forgot the new guy. What is the new guy's name? I forgot. But he has curly hair. Looks exactly like Nick. You find your other Nick. Let Alandria have this one. Did you see that kiss? Yeah, guys. So that's my thing. Let me know if you're just like me because I'm not ashamed of it. You guys keep me going. My ticked talk reaction people recap people. Love you down. But yeah, guys, that is the end of today's episode. Let me know if you enjoyed this episode. I did y'all and give you a lot of tea. Next episode is going to be even better. I'm going to have some more fun guests. But the lighting is already going off, which means it's time for me to sign out. I love you. And I see you. I'll see you in my next episode if I might show off the podcast or Sophie. The mother fucking oddity. What is that noise? Oh, my God. Always just me and my mouth. Oh, don't see that. Okay. Bye, guys. That was good. Did I record it?
