What’s in like growing up in Delaware?
Wilmington is pretty small. There wasn’t a ton to do there, but it definitely made me more creative because I had to kind of find my own thing to do, which is why I started making weird, funny videos.
“The vibe is so positive. There’s such a family dynamic. It’s like Amy and Nick are our parents, and the rest of us are all their weird children”

I made my bosses really nervous. I would give tours and I would just lie a lot. I would play games, like I had this one game where I would tell whoever my page partner was for the tour to just give me two random words and I would incorporate them into the speeches however I could. Like if you gave me like amputee and like sea hag, I would just make stuff up. Like “In this studio 6b- nightly news with Brian Williams, 10 years ago a sea hag attached a camera operator and now he’ an amputee, and he has one arm and he’s still camera operator. Any Questions? No? Moving on.”

We had like a handbook, with guidelines and the principal at the time was like my enemy. And I would always try to make her mad and take her down in different ways. So I read the handbook one night and I realized there was no rule against facial hair, coz it’s not in the handbook so. I called everyone in my class the night before and I convinced them all to wear a mustache to school, and I did so as well, and everyone agreed to do it. And we showed up at school, everyone had different kinds of facial hair on, like uni-brows and beards and mustache; it looks weird because we’re in uniform you know. and everyone was really scared because the teachers started yelling at them, “take those off, that’s not allowed” and I kept saying like “it is allowed everyone, be strong. This is not illegal, keep the mustaches on.” And I think around lunch time I was the only one left with a mustache, and I remember walking into the cafeteria and everyone was clapping and then I got called up to the principals office. And then she just demanded that I take it off, and then eventually she gave me a detention that said ‘failure to remove mustache when asked.

That was the first time I saw the movie and seeing it in that way was so intense. I knew that people were fans of the comic books, but I had no idea how many there were and how intense they were. It was honestly more than a movie. It felt like it was this interactive ride or something. People were screaming and getting out of their seats. And a lot of the cast hadn’t actually seen it either. Michael hadn’t seen it, I hadn’t seen, and a lot of them. So we were all really emotional and we were holding hands. It was really crazy and I had never experienced anything like that.
