I thought she was just a great comedic actor and you know doing blue material whatever you want to call it. Karen, uh, who does all the styling here, said, "No, you're wrong. This is the real deal." Then my 13-year-old Chacha said, "No, this is who she..." Then Dusty said, "And everybody knew her but me." Uh, and now I'm totally devoted to what she's doing because it's so brave and I'm not going to censor her. Yeah, she's going to say some things that you would not want to say yourself, let alone have said to you, which is probably going to be my position. But as I told Bal just moments ago, she's not going to say anything to me that my whole team hasn't wanted to say since the day that they met me. But I love the bravery and I love that we can get through the stigma and just treat somebody with decency because we all deserve it. And Bal Dupri joins us now. All right, kid, thank you very much for coming on. And what do you hope you can do by taking the risks that you take so people can understand what you're dealing with? I'm sorry, do you mind repeating the question? [ __ ] off. Why do you, what do you want people to learn? Um, I want people to learn that, um, Tourette's is a neurological involuntary motor and vocal disorder. [ __ ] off. [ __ ] off. [ __ ] off. Um, I don't tick 24/7 and there's a lot of L.B. is [ __ ] off. [ __ ] off. You, Chris, there's a lot of things that people don't understand. Like, people think that cussing is in, is with everyone who has Tourette syndrome, but it's only in 10% of people with Tourette's.
And how has it been as you've gotten more famous? Do you believe that people are understanding better or are they dopes like me who think you're acting? I say it's, I say it's the same. I think there's a lot more people that don't understand what Tourette's is and, um, they like to educate themselves more. So I get thousands of DMs from parents, from teachers, from girls that have been diagnosed with Tourette's and they've had to be kicked out of school for attention seeking because they rip up, they rip up their homework or do things like that. I've had parents reach out to me asking me, "Oh, my son's coming home with a girlfriend and his girlfriend has Tourette syndrome." So, and then I also get very evil people that would comment and say like, "Go [ __ ] yourself, Chris. L. your baby, ban your ass, your own biscuit, fat ass." That have told me that my parents deserve to die in a car accident because I'm faking my condition. Or people have told me that, like, I've had to have the police at my house because people gave out my location and said they want to come torch my house. Like, it, it's crazy.
Here's the thing. Clinically, people suck and they're mean and they're stupid and they try to make themselves feel better by going after others. And you are the antidote, my young friend, because you have my kids, you have my kids repeating your lines so that it's almost become cool. And not because, you know, it's rucchy, it's because you're being real and you're living your truth and they love it. They love the bravery of it. And so do I. And I love how you've changed your mission. You were at university, COVID was tough for you, tougher than for most, right? Really blew up your symptoms. And now you want to be a physical therapist because exercise helps you and you believe it's a way that you can help others. A personal trainer, right? Yes. So I go to the gym five days a week and I go to a workout class, um, splitting it throughout the week. Um, I love exercise. My boyfriend got me into it. Um, I've been doing it for about a year now. Um, I love it. It's my, it's my release. Um, I obviously go to the gym and I wear headphones and that's also a very big factor in how [ __ ] off. [ __ ] off. Colin, [ __ ] off. That [ __ ] um, that's also a really big, like, part in my journey was starting off with him.
Well, I love seeing him in the videos. You guys have a great bond. I love everything about your family and I love the story you're telling to people and living your truth. You're done. And my kids, you're done. My, you know what? I am done. I got to go to phone calls because they're blowing up with support for you. So I hope you can watch it at home and listen to everybody who wants to say great things to you. Bay and Dupri, thank you for what you're doing. Thank you for coming on the show and I look forward to speaking to you again. And by the way, I've had people say a lot worse. Thanks for having me. It was great meeting you. It's great meeting you. Merry Christmas and I'll talk to you soon. Thank you, kid. Appreciate what you're doing. Thank you. Now, 3 minutes, 15 seconds.
