In the clip, she is heard saying, “Today I'm going out again to do some DoorDash deliveries. Let's go. As soon as I started, I got a $13 delivery for KFC. Then, like, the deliveries were getting really good. And within about 2–2.5 hours, I had already made $74.”
She further added, “I had to pick up an order from Woolworths in four minutes, and you know, the house where I had to deliver it was only five minutes away. Then I started feeling hungry, so I ate a Domino's pizza myself. And just like that, I kept doing deliveries.”
