Keeping Up With The Chaldeans - Bonnie's Creations [10:03-15:03]

because this is cool, you know? I got, like, 20,000 views on a video and I was, like, whoa, this is, like, I'm famous, like, even though, like, I'm really not. Yeah. Yeah. Um, then I got the job with my boss, which she's my friend in 2019. I got the job. And then in 2020, we became closer in COVID because I was one of the employees that stayed at work with her in the office. Yeah. Or, like, even at home, like, I still, like, like, I loved my job. It was working in mortgages. Okay. Mortgages, okay. Just a telemarketer, honestly. All right. Yeah. But, yeah. So, like, there was just, like, I would always, like, mess with her. And then, one time, I decided on camera or not. Like, just a lost camera. Yeah. It was just, yeah. It was a really funny, like, friend group because of COVID. We were only, like, 10 people in the office at the time. Anytime. Yeah. So, uh, one time, I decided to, like, film, like, literally on my Snapchat, like a series of, like, me, like, asking them a funny question. And then, all of a sudden, I got, like, I want to say, like, 500,000 views because of her. Yeah. I'll give, like, my credits to her when it's due. But, yeah. So, like, they were like, wow, that's your boss. What kind of questions are we talking about? Maybe I'll ask my boss. Thanks. It was a pretty, it was kind of bad. It was kind of bad. Like, what? So, I asked her, like, can you believe they're still together after all that shit they've been through? And she was like. That was my first one. Yeah. That was my first one. Yeah. That was my first one. So, then people were, like, always commenting, like, oh my gosh, your boss is so hot. Oh, okay. Yeah, she is. And then, I don't know. I just kept, like, doing, like, video after video, like, oh, I'm, like, annoying my boss today. And I'm going to, like, I don't know. I'm just, like, doing random stuff. And this was all TikTok. But you said Snapchat. This was, I just filmed it on Snapchat. But I, like, edited it together on TikTok. Oh, okay, okay. Like, because I thought it was funny. Yeah. And it just blew up. Like, I was gaining, I would say, 50,000 followers a day at one point. Within that first post, I got to a million followers within two to three months. What? Yes. And then, Mark, that you really blew up with the, when you broke the... Oh, that, I'm sorry, yes. So, at that same, like, within that same three months range, I did, like, a little prank on my cousin. Where I, he was, like, failing classes in school in high school. Or maybe it was no school at the time. I don't know. But I went up to my aunt and was, like, can I break his Xbox? Because it was, because he was failing classes, because he was playing games too much. Like, late at night. So she's, like, yeah, go ahead. So I went up to his room and I took his Xbox and I chucked it outside. Because she was, like, I'm going to take it away from him. The new Xbox is coming out anyway. I'm, like, this is my chance. Like, I can, like, probably, like... And then the hammer. Yeah, like, I took the hammer. And then that went viral. That went viral. I think I, that's my, like, second biggest video was, like, 19 million views. Yeah, I was, like, all over the news channels. You can actually look it up and say the girl that broke... No, you just look at my name and it, like, it'll come up. And all her names come up. So, then, um, that was, like, within, like, three months, like, where, like, the boss thing went crazy. And then the Xbox breaking thing went crazy. And then, three months later, I started losing a ton of weight. Where I was, uh, 260 pounds. And I lost over 100 pounds. Not within that moment. Like, it was just... I would share my weight loss journey. I worked out five days a week, religiously, two, three hours a day. On the craziest diet. And I had, like, a really big, like, transformation. And that's, like, my biggest viewed video, actually. Before the prank sent everything, it's my weight loss journey. And how many views did I get? 38 million. That's it. 38 million. That's it. Jesus. Yeah, it was pretty cool. And then she started getting jobs at, like, Costco, like, filming for them, advertising. Well, like, it was, like, foods that were diet. Yeah. Like, sold that Costco. Sam's Club. Sam's Club. Walmart target. You did the hotel one collection. These are collabs? Yes. Oh, sweet. Yeah. Got a lot of collabs off of it. But so, basically, the TikTok went off mostly because of, like, me and my boss, like, that's how people know who I am. Yeah. And it lasted, like, two, three years until she wanted me to take over, so I had to quit. Mm-hmm. And when I quit my job, it was really sad, but it just ended. Yeah. And so, on to greener pastures, on to bigger things, on to more creativity.
