Rebecca is an encyclopedia like she goes from history to pop culture to death grips. It's actually amazing

I’m always amazed how much knowledge of movies, actors, pop culture references, language, thoughts, music, fashion and just humor is packed in Rebecca’s head. The wit, the intensity,the mystery, the sass, the intellect, the understanding of her sexuality and awareness… Rebecca is fascinating. I hope for healing

I’ve never wanted to see a stranger get clean more than Rebecca ❤ She’d be a sober powerhouse. Her wit, intellect and sense of humour are unmatched. When Mark asked her to get back into frame and without skipping a beat she goes “finally, some direction!”, incredible.

I think that Mark is the closest thing that Rebecca has to having a friend and family right now.

"He kicked me out so we could game, on an xbox, Mark. Not even a PlayStation." 😅 I needed that laugh today, it's so great to see Rebecca coherent!

I don't know how this person has collected so many cultural references in their 26 years of life. Just casually moving from one film line to the next, one song lyric to the next. Spitting out lines from "Hey" by The Pixies. Perfect French pronunciation. Knows every actor, every model, every designer. It's just fascinating. How does she absorb all of this while being so fucking high all the time?

"He's got a friend coming over to game with...... on his Xbox...... not even a Playstation Mark........ a fucking Xbox" 🤣As a gamer, that got me cracking up lol. Rooting for you Rebecca!

Throughout history there have been a plethora of examples of the line between genius and madness being as thin as a frog hair. Most societies tortured, imprisoned or killed them. Some rare societies venerated them. We tend to look away and pretend they don’t exist. Rebecca’s ability to survive is amazing!

“I’m a dead girl in the body of a living boy”
This Rebecca individual is genius, and doesn’t even know it. Damn it. Get out of Rebecca’s way, Rebecca.

One day you asked Rebecca, "What do you do all day". She replied " I talk to myself, I sing to myself, doesn't everyone?". That stuck with me so much. I live mostly alone with no neighbors in a rural area. Yes, I talk to myself and sing to myself. Mostly I think I'm talking & singing to my critters but really it's to myself. Rebecca is more insightful than people give her credit for. She has a good point about Hilary too.

I've never wanted a random person I've seen on the internet to succeed as much as I do Rebecca, I hope they get clean, in therapy to figure out the underlying problems and become a functional person. A lot of the videos you do with Rebecca can be frustrating and down right annoying but I see a bright future if Rebecca chooses to leave the drugs and street life behind. Thank you Mark, for being a shoulder for them to lean on, even though sometimes I feel like it's enabling, I feel like Rebecca wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you, you're probably the only person to stick by through this messed up journey and that's more than likely why Rebecca is still alive today. I'm hoping for the best!

The fucking intelligence alone is astounding, then the culture, creativity, and compassion/kindness is icing on the Rebecca cake. This human being is an absolute marvel- I pray for deliverance from the drugs that keep Rebecca so far below her the station she should hold in life.

**Edited to say: Mark’s happy chuckle is the best thing I’ll hear all day. It’s like a kid with a secret, and I love it. I wish he had more reason to laugh during these interviews. Rebecca is the only one I’ve ever seen be able to pull it out of him.

Top 2 fav moments, "Heidi Fleiss knows who I am?" and "I try to sleep at least once a week". Rebecca is a gem.

@daniellelewis2553 2 years ago

I want to see her get clean SOOOOOOOO bad. Her personality is so radiant.

@Miskate444 2 years ago (edited)

Rebecca is half my age, and understands/references twice the pop-culture references.
Mark, I really hope Rebecca soon realizes the order of what needs to happen to get well.

It’s not a house first and then sobriety. It’s sobriety and then a house. It’s not first a job, it’s being clean and then a job interview.

With so many people rooting for, and ready to help her (and you explaining this time after time), there is a way. She has everything right there in front of her. Great things could be done.

Mark really hit the goldmine on this one. What a fascinating human being. Very witty and on their feet.

@elle_sanchez 2 years ago

Rebecca is quite theatrical, I feel like I’m at an improv show watching this video. It’s a shame because she’s definitely in the right place for her talent.

@tonydawg 2 years ago

This is the cleanest Rebecca has ever been. Super dope to see them converse without just unclear drug talk. Almost there I can sense the sobriety

@ELISACorcelli 2 years ago

One of the finest most in-depth interview yet. Rebecca, if you ever got clean you could conquer the world. Your intelligent, humor and personality is spot on. We all care and love you. You probably have s bigger fan base than the celebs you love.
