SPEAKER_02

Hello everyone, this is Mr. Flores coming to you live from Las Vegas. Alright, let me start over. Ready? Yeah. Here. All right. Hello everyone. This is Mr. Flores coming to you from Las Vegas. And I have a unique individual here. Beautiful, as she is. Rhea Bentley.

SPEAKER_00

Hi.

SPEAKER_02

Um, and you would like to let the world know.

SPEAKER_00

Why I'm here or more.

SPEAKER_02

Um, T.S.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, uh yeah, I'm a trans content creator performer here in Las Vegas. Yeah, yeah. Nice to have you. Thank you so much. This is uh really cool because you and I have been mutuals for a while online. For a while. For a while. It's been over a year, I think.

SPEAKER_02

And and I've admired your work. Thank you. I've admired your work, you know. Likewise. Yeah, yeah. I wanted people to hear about you though. You know, what makes you tick, what makes you smile, what makes you frown? Some of the struggles of being a content creator, uh especially in the TS world. Um, also some of the things that are exuberant, that you know, some of your victories, right? Yeah, don't hear about it all. You okay with that?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, there's a bit to tell. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

And over the course of the conversation, I throw you some loops. Okay, you never know what comes out of my mouth.

SPEAKER_00

Well, I'm sure I'll throw out some ridiculous answers from time to time with my ADD, but you might have to, you know, guide me out back on track sometimes.

SPEAKER_02

Now, in terms of a trans performer, you're typically either a top or bottom, or you can do both. Correct?

SPEAKER_00

So if you're in broad terms of trans performers, um, we do both, um, obviously, but um most of the trans performers are bottoms.

SPEAKER_02

I if I could just guess, and I'm talking about like true bottoms, like and what she and what she's meaning by bottom is they're on the bottom. Yeah, they're the receiver, right, of the sausage, YouTube. Um I'm glad you said that. And if they are top, they're a giver.

SPEAKER_00

That's correct.

SPEAKER_02

Of the the sausage.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. So the thing is, is most of us trans people, you know, we're on a lot of hormones and uh testosterone blockers, that sort of thing.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, okay, okay.

SPEAKER_00

And we can we get to that later? Yeah, I think that's a good idea.

SPEAKER_02

Actually, I want to break circle back around a bit.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, but um the the problem is is um it does do its number on girls' penises, you know, in other words the sausage. Yeah, the sausage, if that's yeah, better to say for YouTube. Um, as far as you know erectile, you know, dysfunction, that sort of stuff. So but I do both. I am actually more of a top.

SPEAKER_02

You're more of a top. Yeah. You mentioned that to me um before. Um, and it was it was interesting. And no, there's no one getting top like that. But um the interesting thing, you mentioned something about ED, um, erectile dysfunction. Do you I know people, whether it's men, who take shots in their eggplant, whatever, to help them and perform. They take pseudofit to help it come down. Do you ever have, do you do the same kind of thing whenever? Okay.

SPEAKER_00

Okay, so for me, I don't, I can tell you I'm progressively getting worse, and that day will come what where I have to get a prescription for tri-mix or biomix.

SPEAKER_02

When you say progressively getting worse, what's getting hard?

SPEAKER_00

Um, I'm having more issues. Well, my penis is shrunk at at least an inch, and my testicles are there's not much.

SPEAKER_02

The sausage and the things around the sausage have sunk.

SPEAKER_00

So it it just the longer you're on HRT, which is hormone replacement therapy, any number of cocktails you might be prescribed, um, yeah, it just does its um it it shrinks things up and it makes things makes it a lot more difficult to get up. And so uh, you know, you can take other like I I take like most so you're you're replacing you're you're trying to get away from the testosterone over to the estrogen. Yeah. Okay. Um, you know, just to help feminize oneself, but um in doing so it makes it more difficult downstairs if you're topping. So like for me, I um am still knock on wood, I'm still able to do it with just taking like a Viagra. Um and I don't know any trans performers that don't have to at least take that, but most of them do an injection, at least the ones I've worked with, if they are gonna be on top. So it's it's a thing.

SPEAKER_02

Um and you prepare to b but to bottom.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I I always have like Viagra with me as well, you know, if the opportunity is there. But yeah, yeah, yeah. It's interesting. But yeah, it's um it's becoming more and more challenging, not gonna lie. Um I'm not there yet.

SPEAKER_02

Um you think it's coming.

SPEAKER_00

It is because the last two group scenes I've done, and I'm talking about like amazing hot people in the room. Yeah. I I don't know if part of it's my ADD, and there's just so much stimulation. Oh my god, I'm working with so-and-so here, and look at there's uh I love her, and look how big he is, and I just lose my erection. I can say that on YouTube, right? I guess that's a how that's just a normal word. So I have trou I do have troubles in those situations. I definitely don't struggle off camera, um, on camera, one-on-ones, threesomes not so much, but anytime there's more than three people, something in my mind I think is playing a trick on me, and it's not getting up there where I want it to be and stay. It sucks. It's part of it.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

That's interesting. Interesting. How about you? I'm very curious about what what are you curious about? Well, a lot of um older men struggle with um ED. Do you uh and you work with a lot of people, so I would imagine you gotta take something.

SPEAKER_02

Um, you know, it just depends. Yeah. It really just depends. I I think that um ironically, I think one of the things that's key with with men, especially in the early late 40s, early 50s, is hydration and sleep.

SPEAKER_01

For sure.

SPEAKER_02

If you like if you if if you can get X amount of sleep or either power naps, right, and you're hydrated, I think that really helps because it helps with blood flow circulation instead of, you know, whatever, right? Which is key. Once you get arouse, you get a rouse. You know, so I think what you know, from my standpoint and from people in my shoes, you would take something like if it's someone new, right? Because you don't know what the vibe is. You know, you don't know what the vibe is, you don't you don't know um what sets them and gets their blood going, vice versa. They don't know you, right? Yeah. So it's it's it's that moments of yeah, you can discuss what you want to discuss, but you gotta explore for a little bit first. You gotta you know dip your toe in the water, right? And so it's like you and you don't know the attraction to someone. So yeah, you take something then. Once you have an established um a good rapport with someone though, right? If it's the second or third time, yeah, you really you're good, you know. Yeah, you're detailed. So to that that point is, you know, what's your sugar levels? Yeah, are you hydrated enough? Um you one can say caffeinated or whatever, take honey packs, you know. That's another thing lately, instead of taking the um those pills or or whatnot, you know, suit um cinder or um telephil, patatophil, etc., is honey packs, you know. So I think that one that's a little bit more natural and that gives you something. Like I can sit there and say, like, oh, okay, if I have something coming up and I may have six oysters in a honey pack. Really? It that's all natural and it does the same thing. But you gotta make if you're in that area where you can get your six oysters and and suck on a honey pack, cool. Right? So, but if I don't have that, then okay, cool. I got different kinds, I got blue chews, you know, I got Cindophil as well. You know, blue versus white. There's a difference in how it responds.

SPEAKER_00

That's interesting. Yeah, I I definitely would agree with you though on the sleep and the hydration because I like by the way, most of my stuff that I have, I have to give it to guys.

SPEAKER_02

Because they never come prepared. And I literally am like, here you go, here you go, here you go. Because I gotta keep them in the game.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Right.

SPEAKER_02

Uh pause.

SPEAKER_00

I gotta take that out.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, or or it's just time wasted, yeah, for everyone. But yeah, so like I like to I to me sleep is my absolute favorite thing. I wouldn't have said that 10 years ago, but I my sleep I cherished, and I I like eight hours. I'll sleep ten hours if I can every night, but definitely eight hours, and um I drink ridiculous amounts of water, and I'll, you know, I I put a little liquid idea.

SPEAKER_02

So here's what I have a powder, I don't have it with me right now. I have an electrolyte powder I got off Amazon. Um, it's wonderful because every every three weeks now I do a 48 to 70 hour fast, 72-hour fast. And so the first day you only can drink water. Um, you can have non-sugar tea, coffee, non-sugar, but you can drink water with the electrolyte powders every single time you drink water. The second day, right? Um, it's called kettle something bone broth, right? It's organic. Uh you drink it like you warm it up and drink it like it's 32 ounces, you know, you drink half of it in the one hour in the day, you drink another half and another day, plus all your waters. It's almost like drinking soup almost. Yeah, yeah. Right. And so that's how you get to the 48 hours. Um, last time I did it 56, and then I'm like, I like ah, whatever. But um it's interesting because the person who got me on that, he said, you'd be amazed if you do that for 42 hours before your flight.

SPEAKER_00

And how often did you say you do this? Every how many weeks?

SPEAKER_02

Now I do it every once every like 48 to 72 hours every three weeks. Three weeks. I just I just whenever it's in my head, go do it. And when I come off of it, I may eat something, but I make sure to get like a green juice that next day, just like, okay, just in my body. Hey, I'm just because I gave you a solid, I'm still, yeah, you know, you don't know, right? And with with me, I lost a lot of weight. I went from 306 to 269. 306 to 269. And then recently, ever since I started different regiments, not eating at the 10, 1030, um, cutting out fried as much fried food as possible, um, sugar reduction, um and then this little water, you know, the water in the water thing, um, I'm now at like 263. My energy is different. It's like, for instance, you know, I was somewhere like yesterday, I had two things yesterday. Before I had one thing, I'm flying, whatever. I had something earlier today, and I'm with you right now. But you can tell. You know, because I'm I'm regulating my my my levels in my body much better. Right. Um, today I made sure I get a 20-minute power nap in.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, the power naps I love too.

SPEAKER_02

My and my girlfriend, my father, when I was young, he would come home for lunch and he would he may make something neat or whatever, but he'd nap for like 20 minutes. I'm like, what the fuck?

SPEAKER_00

That's so awesome though.

SPEAKER_02

And I didn't know, like, he's like, when you get older, you're gonna understand. I totally understand now.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Well, we were talking because we were both from Austin, and um I am I You're from Texas, right, right, right. You're from okay. I I live here now as a little over a year and a half ago. But I was in Austin most of my life, and um, I was really into running, like distance running, and I would run five days a week. I was in run groups and all that, and I those power naps are kind of you know you have to eat real healthy, you know, to fuel your yourself just to get through the runs, and then you so I just had to I took power naps. I started taking power naps every day after work, just 15, 20 minutes talk and it really works. Swear by it.

SPEAKER_02

By the way, it's essentially I need to hit y'all up. Y'all need to sponsor this. Um anyway. So what in terms of in terms of your what stage are you in? Would you consider yourself in as a content creator? Um a lot of content creators are really concerned right now. You know, point is on, pardon me, adult entertainment online is on a downward decline due to administr the administration that we have in the government being anti- uh adult entertainment, um, a age verification. Um, I feel that if um you know Sex Panther's taking away a lot, you know, there's a lot of people going that direction, right? OnlyFans is saturated.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Where are you in the Pantheon right now or in your journey? If you could put your finger on it.

SPEAKER_00

I um like that.

SPEAKER_02

Hopefully I'm asking good questions for you all listening to the watching this right after.

SPEAKER_00

Um now for me, uh probably if most people, we started on I think most people start on OnlyFans. I knew I did. In fact, this week it's been three years since I've been doing this. And it it took off pretty well for me. Um and I kind of knew, you know, you don't want to put all your eggs in one basket. Even though it kept, you know, kept going up. I started then I started many bids because I like the idea of just having a clip store selling.

SPEAKER_02

Wait, no, it was you seeing OnlyFans, it it was going up. Is it still going up or is it potato?

SPEAKER_00

Well, no, so I was gonna come back to that. So about a year and a half ago, it started well, I raised the price and then it went down because it was like just seven dollars a month. And um I was doing a little pay-per-view initially, and then I decided I'm gonna raise it to ten and cut out pay-per-view. It still kept going up, and then I raised it again to 15 and I lost like 60% of my subscribers.

SPEAKER_02

Like have you been able to replace them?

SPEAKER_00

Well, yeah, so um no, no, I don't have that many, but it stays the same with the money. Um I I've done so many things, so like now I'm on like all of the sites, you know, the whole egg one basket I'm on.

SPEAKER_02

So so so basically what you had to do as you got more more wise as a content creator is you increase your distribution. Yeah, yeah, yeah. To multiple avenues.

SPEAKER_00

Some people just will not use only fans, and that makes perfect sense to me. So I do many vids, fans league, clips for sale, loyal fans, um, and then you start getting revenue in all of these different areas, and you st you still kind of are going up a little bit. At least I am. But you know, it's not always gonna be like that. Um I I don't handle my OnlyFans like most people do. I don't hire management or chatters. It's always me they talk to, and I don't do any pay-per-view, which is normally that is I'm not gonna lie, OnlyFans is built around chatting, catching those people when they're aroused, and you can just send them little clips. Oh, you want to see more? Give me $5, give me $10 or whatever. But I don't have time to do that, and I don't want to hire chatters to do it for me because it would be so obvious because my fans have become accustomed to knowing that they're gonna get a full-length scene every week, every Friday from Rhea Bentley. And I don't I don't flood anyone's inboxes with anything. I just give them the scene and maybe an occasional. I do lots of audio inbox messages for my fans just to make it more personal. They'll never get that with chatters. And um I anyway and I'll occasionally send, you know, some pictures or check in with them with like a video just saying where I am, like when I got my top surgery a couple months ago, stuff like that. Yeah, that tops. Yeah, I finally did it.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, okay. Enhancements. Yeah, breast augmentation.

SPEAKER_00

So um yeah.

SPEAKER_02

She's a mutant, I was playing.

SPEAKER_00

Augmentation. But yeah, so um that sort of, you know, it whenever one thing starts declining, you know, the ebb and flow, you I generally see more from another site making more money, and it kind of stays the same, maybe gets slightly better. But um, and that works for me. Um, you know, I would I like to be making twice as much money, absolutely, but I can tell you, um I don't like having to pay so much quarterly and end of the year. I just did my taxes, and it just shocks me when you're self-employed how much taxes you have to pay. It's ridiculous. Right? You should know better than me. It's ridiculous.

SPEAKER_02

I'm not gonna say any numbers on camera, but oh yeah, the ta the taxes is crazy, man. Um you just you just made me think about it like gosh, I gotta do my taxes. Um right now it's like they've been killing off all these loopholes. All these the tax uh redu the reduction avenues that people used to, you know, they've been you know, um, you know, it's just it's it's a it's tough. So you know what we gotta do? We just gotta make more money.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, ultimately. That's what it boils down to.

SPEAKER_02

That's what it boils down to. Why do they do that? They want you to make more money so that it can increase the the capital flow in the system, therefore it can artificially increase GDP.

SPEAKER_00

Uh anyway. What is GDP?

SPEAKER_02

Gross domestic product.

SPEAKER_00

Okay, I know you're a finance guy.

SPEAKER_02

10 plus years on Wall Street, and I and um shout out to anybody that's listening. And here's um from Miss Here's uh my alert from Mr. Force Trade Group or is in the Discord with I think there's 330-something people every single day, you know. Um, and uh shout out to them. But anyway, um about you right now.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, well, um so that's sort of what's going on with me. Like I I want to keep making more money, yes. Um there's a lot of things I want to do.

SPEAKER_02

Do you th do you find it's getting easier or more difficult? Pardon me pardon me from interrupting. I don't want to I don't want to forget this question. Do you feel it's getting easy getting easier or difficult as a trans performer?

SPEAKER_00

Um as a trans performer? Well maybe maybe easier and you know, if you read some of the top searches on whatever I don't know, certainly Pornhub and some of these trans or transgender is always in the top five. So there's definitely a market for it, but most of these people they wouldn't admit that they're watching it, you know, they're still kind of closeted and you know, are in a small conservative town and they wouldn't want people to know what they're watching. But it's definitely uh a a very common searched um video and term you know term in the adult video world.

SPEAKER_02

Do you do you have um people wanting to or potential clients, whatever wanting to fly you to them? I not so much.

SPEAKER_00

I certainly get Inquiries. I get inquiries and I am the one that I don't like doing it because to me There's gonna be people that's gonna watch and listen to this and they're gonna wonder that same question. Well, okay, so I honestly don't like traveling, um, is what it boils down to. Now I I ask for a certain amount of money, which is probably I think it's kind of standard, it might be steep. And I I don't like the idea of someone flying me to a there's some cities I would definitely do it, but if someone is in Wyoming. Wyoming or whatever, Abilene, what am I gonna do? That means yeah, that means I'm gonna be in probably like the probably nicest hotel is probably a La Quinta. No, it might be like a whatever, Hampton.

SPEAKER_02

They want you to go to Chicago at and stand at the Drake.

SPEAKER_00

So yeah, I I honestly I would do that, but um I try to to turn it around and say, you know, you would probably save at least a thousand dollars if you just flew here and just get a room on the strip and just ask, you know, book me for an hour. You know, you're gonna save so much more money and then it's it's easier for me. I don't have to stress out. I don't have to be cooped up in a hotel room not knowing anyone or spending a crazy amount of money for for takeout or going out. It just I just don't really like doing it. I get the inquiries though. Um and I'm not I don't s give firm no's but um yeah it will take some convincing I think on your part. So she talking that talk yo yo yeah someone yell I mean we're here in Vegas and why not come to Vegas for a weekend.

SPEAKER_02

You know what I don't come to people don't come to Vegas? There's two reasons why they don't come to Vegas. There's three actually right now there's people that come to Vegas but the ones who don't there's three reasons I'm I'm I'm getting a feel for because I talk to people the first one is cost of flight lately. Number two I'm saving the third one um I should not say the third one number two is they go to Vegas for one thing and they end up spending a ton of other shit. Right? Whatever. Like the gambling you mean yeah yeah they they and you know whatever. The third one is the biggest one the rise of predictive markets and and on the phones poly market calci you can do on Robin market so predictive markets you can do your betting oh right and it's it's all over it so now instead of if you were coming to Vegas because of sports books and betting and stuff you don't do it anymore. You just do it on your phone on on predictive markets calchi polymarket etc Robinhood even Coinbase now.

SPEAKER_00

But they could just come to Vegas and see reinvently they could come to Vegas and see re evently well I guess you could do a video call I don't like doing those either though.

SPEAKER_02

So tell me this though let's let's go on the other side of the train tracks for a second.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah what are some of the struggles not everything is roses right right well I mean just being trans number one is it's not easy I will say I am in a bubble here in Las Vegas because there there are a a lot of trans performers that live here and pretty much all my friends are trans or at least in the sex work industry whether it's behind camera or some aspect of it so um I feel like when I go out I'm usually surrounded with them or I I like the arts district here in Las Vegas is so amazing. It's very liberal and accepting and so those struggles I they're out there but not for me so much here in Vegas in my bubble but like my mom is in a small town in Texas and I love her to death and we're very close but I don't like I don't I don't like going out to eat with her or going to the grocery store with her. I just assume do take out or I just don't feel comfortable in that environment. It's a small town in Texas as liberal as my mom is and she gets it but um yeah so that's like a struggle um you know and I'm actually I'm still really new to transitioning. So like three years barely really not even so um but it helps like I just had that little surgery in the top that helps me feel more you know female and accepting in public um accepting in public you're saying that you well you run into some issues with the well okay no I don't but you know certainly I to me I'm very clockable you know which is just means oh that's a guy that's that's a trans girl. I think a lot of people say that um you know because I still have a lot of male sort of features I haven't done my FFS so which is they don't know what they mean at all. Yeah so it's just it's called stands for facial feminization surgery. Okay a whole variety of things um that help feminize one's bone facial structure and stuff like that. So until I get that yeah I'll I'll always feel a little insecure in places I suppose but um do you do you currently are you in a are you currently in a relationship or no? No I'm single. When's the last time you were in a relationship um I had a girlfriend in Austin we I think we've been broken up about three and a half years.

SPEAKER_02

So it's been that long.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah but we live together we're s we still talk um I love her to death but um yeah I moved here to really for transitioning like I was still living I was taking HRT but I was still living my life as a male farm on replacement therapy. Yeah I was um so just from day one when I moved here which was July 1 of 24 is that right yeah it's just been over a year and a half um yeah since first since the first day I moved here I just hit the ground running you know it was kind of a clean slate for me it was rather difficult I didn't even though I was starting to develop breast tissue and getting you know various I don't know if anyone would notice it but the breast I started noticing like my nipples and areola changing um I was still living my life as a guy and I would wear like a compression um really trans masculines wear to push in their breasts and I was doing that so my friends wouldn't notice that I might be growing little buds, you know, booby buds. I just know so many people there it's a very personal thing and I just didn't feel comfortable doing it there. So once I knew I was going to move here that's what I did from day one. So um yeah if that makes sense. No it makes perfect sense. Yeah bitley because I transitioned really way later than most people like most trans girls do it when they're teenagers or certainly in their twenties and I'm not gonna say how old I am but I definitely wasn't in my twenties.

SPEAKER_02

So um do you find yours do you get booked a lot by studios or are you more the independent creator? Right. Good question.

SPEAKER_00

Um yeah I'm just independent content creator really I it's very rare I do any studio work. Um not to say I don't want it I perhaps they're not interested in me. Um I've done a little with Groovy um but none of the real big studios and I do a decent amount with some of the Pay Trade studios you know um like Trans Midnight Trans Daylight. It's the same people they have like these three sites um how much they do pay trade um I probably shouldn't say on here but I'll tell you afterwards. Yeah kind of curious so yeah it's not much but it's probably the normal yeah interesting yeah but you get all the content you can do what you want with it as well.

SPEAKER_02

Do they have a restriction on when you can post it as it say allow they try to coordinate posting at the same time or they don't care.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah and that's good because I how often do you post content like what is it once I do every week actually every week I'll is it a scene or is it a solo? It just depends on what you feel you know it's 95% of the time it's it's a full-fledged scene. Um I the thing is is my fans I have a variety of content um and that's kind of changed since I started but um they do they love the solo stuff but I don't do it very much and I need to get back to that. Um because I don't dislike doing it it's kind of fun just to like talk dirty and pleasure myself um and kind of do that J-O-I for my fans because I think I mean they've they love it so and it's yeah it's not hard for me to do. But um it's it it's not like to me it's not like press release worthy.

SPEAKER_02

It's not like it's just like that would just be an a bonus maybe you know do you feel like do you feel like you would like to see yourself in in and P in a lot of different press releases or or do you think the PR game is kind of old kind of written off?

SPEAKER_00

I I don't know I think it it's a good thing to have some press releases from time to time. It helps with exposure certainly um but you know you can't do it for solo I mean I guess you could but to me that wouldn't make sense. You would want like a proper scene there's got to be some sort of setup. I I don't think I wouldn't do a press release for like a gonzo scene I've done that but um I don't know I just feel like I want to be extra extra proud of this scene you know have it have it filmed a mustard on it you know yeah yeah yeah yeah so especially if you're doing it weekly so but um yeah no I I I'm just more of an independent creator at this point and I I've it's gone really well for me like I won my first T last year and the T's are next tell t tell them tell tell them what the T's are yeah that's fair enough because most people like what the hell's a Trans Eratica Awards and it is a your annual um in fact it's next week it's mar uh March 8th I believe it's in LA Hollywood and it's basically like all of the trans like literally all the who's who all the newcomers all of the me you know the in-between people and all of the the and it's not just trans female obviously trans male and then cis female and males who work with us in some capacity the directors the producers so it's so such a huge thing to have hundreds and hundreds of people all on one roof but it's an amazing award show. Are you gonna go?

SPEAKER_02

You probably not because you're already traveling this week um I'm in LA the 5th through the 10th well you'll be there then it's that it's on the 8th I think it's the 6th and the 8th they do a pre-party and on the 6th I have two shoots and behind I'm actually I'm producing directing two different two different shoots one for the flourish triple X um the flourish XSX and another one for a third party one of the top three studios okay um there's a deal um that that we signed in January and so um they have the people and they're like all right cool we want you to produce direct this one you know blah blah blah I'm like all right cool um and so um the seventh we there's a few collabs the eighth I think for whatever reason I think that's the light day so maybe that's an option opportunity there so well that's when the award show is so um but and then the ninth I forgot what the ninth the ninth was uh oh ninth was completely different industry stuff completely different industry because a lot of a lot of media because of the YouTube Asherclan TV or Ashclan um and so there's a lot of media stuff I have on the ninth this creat uh and YouTube collaborations.

SPEAKER_00

You're a busy man yeah yeah and then the 10th is collabs uh podcasts um then get out of there yeah yeah I'm gonna be there the fourth and I'm gonna come back on the excuse me on the ninth okay just kind of a quick one um but yeah um yeah so I w I won my first tea last year.

SPEAKER_02

Alright we what okay do y'all know what tea she won? No she didn't tell you.

SPEAKER_00

Well huh I won um the clips for sale they sponsored this particular award um trans content creator of the year. So I just like I had two nominations a couple other ones like that one wasn't even a nomination it was like okay so you know you have your brochure they're going through them in order in my first um my first one I was up for like best self-producer my one of my best friends won it and that's great and so and then eventually they get to my next one which was called Miss Unique and then another one of my close friends won it and like that's great. And so at that point I knew okay I wasn't gonna win anything I'm just enjoying the show I'm having some cocktails with my girl and all of a sudden I heard my name and I thought I heard my name and my friend said Rhea you just won. So I was like I didn't even know what I won because I wasn't paying attention but because there you know there weren't nominees for it which is really extra special because they saw you know all of the hard work I'd put in doing all this stuff week after week and um I it just was I hardly remember being on the stage because it was just my mind I just didn't expect it and um I have I was riddled with anxiety as well so I really don't remember much about what I said but um yeah so I did that and I do have a couple more nominations this year so hey we'll see if I get it. But that would be wonderful.
