-What’s your name? -Lailah, short for Delilah. -Lila short for Delilah, yes, take a pamphlet. Have a seat and lolz to you Hi, there, name? -Crysstall with two s’s and two l’s. So, like her healing Crystal, but like unique. -(laughs) Okay there. To the camera? -Yes to the camera -Hello My name is Dan And we’re here at Ashley con 2017 and oh boy am I are we so excited I’m from Dallas, Texas I was born and raised there went to high school, college there married my high school sweetheart. Had two little babies. Both girls, Linn and Elizabeth I don’t really know what their ages would be now. I left all that soon as I got a youtube account Oh, this is what I do for Ashley Everything Everything I can physically do. If that’s setting up events like this. You know we tour around the country. Getting most of her beverages for hydration purposes because you know while she’s here in this realm she still needs to drink water, hahaha -Well Ashley’s different than other people online ’cause I feel like a lot of people just make, like vlogs were they like to praying or they, you know, are just like doing challenge videos. But Ashley’s making a difference. Like she has changed my life. -I follow her on Twitter and I follow her on Instagram And I follow her on Snapchat. I follow her on Tumblr, and I follow her on Facebook. Um well I tried following her in real life, but I couldn’t find her so I’m really excited to be here and actually meet her. -Oh this is- no that’s alright. This is my daughter. Her name’s Carol Ann and she’s real excited to be here This is her first Ashley event, but she watches all the videos with me. Deep down I’m really hoping that she, uh She chooses me to maybe do some healin’. I could use some healing in my life. You know I did buy one of her healing crystals. Your chances of being called up at a, at a function like this are Exponentially greater if you have one of those crystals. And wouldn’t you know it now today there’s even a film crew. It’s like this really could be my moment, you know. -I actually have Ashley to thank for giving me my voice back. Both figuratively, and Logistically. (Singing) Ashley my lolz Ashley Ashley my lolz Ashley -Ashley has really allowed me to love the authentic me. You know to not give a shh About what anybody thinks. Ashley is the most powerful, lovely, amazing, magical woman that has walked this earth. -I was in a really dark space And I saw one of Ashley’s videos, and there was just a light that she brings to everything. The one where she demonstrated the proper cheeto eating method. See, I used to get orange stuff all over my face and she just didn’t it was beautiful -I couldn’t afford one of the front seats But she, she made a special seat in the back That was obstructed view that lowered the price so that I could afford it Hi, can I help you? I don’t know anything about that, but Ashley is not ready to see anyone right now Later later later, thank you friends. Thank you friends with the machine. I later. Okay, wow later it’s so nice to be in a group that all has the same ideals You know you just click so fast. -it’s very special The community. -That’s the thing about these kinds of communities. They’re untraditional, you know? -(Singing) Ashley my lolz Ashley Ashley my lolz Ashley -My daddy brought us here because he’s really rich. He always taught me to believe in something -(singing) Oh lolz Ashley -What brought me here, was true love. I’ve signed up for her webinar and and she responded with this personal message and she she just gets me, you know? She really gets me You’ve heard the term soulmate And I made her this -I thought that her hair kind of symbolized the gold energy that I think emanates from her heart. -So this is.. yeah, this is this is a screen grab from one of the videos. -She’s strong woman, and that’s what I’d like to be too -We all made this. We’re her proud Ash-trash -My understanding was that “Ash” is just Ash, but then the TRASH, the acronym was actually Try Really Amazing Stuff Here. Which is what I plan on doing -When people say trash and I think: I’m trash! I’m trash! -Name one other vlogger with powers or with crystals. Yeah, I didn’t I didn’t think you could. -Look, Ashley has just changed my life. -Lolz -I love Ashley -God it was very hard to get this interview with you. -I imagine -Let’s get right into it How did you start this this movement, I suppose? -mmM great question. I was in Palm Springs one weekend and some sand flew into my eyes, and I said to myself “open your eyes, Ashley” And I saw a demon standing in front of me And I thought “you know I could be scared right now or I can just look at my emotions as a passing thing”. So I did, and then I just kind of like filmed myself saying those things and I put it on YouTube -You jumped from having 4,000 subscribers, to having 2.5 million subscribers in just a matter of months. -You know I like to think of Youtube as a vehicle for the word, the good word, if you will. I don’t feel like a god all the time. I am like, like God like. I mean what does that mean? People need to like believe in something you know what I mean? And I’m giving them something to believe in And honestly like you’re welcome to them You know what I mean? It’s literally something to like believe in you know what I mean? -A lot of words being tossed around -Yeah, yeah -Let me throw one into the ring. -Okay. -Cult. -You know, I No It’s not a cult. It’s a way of life -What you say to someone who would ask “is this whole thing bullshit”? -Have you not felt the energy in the room? -I don’t know can you disprove that? -Why would it even ask me that? -Well, I’m a little confused. -I mean I guess I would say I’m so sorry, I have to take this. -Ashley please listen, we’ve been trying to get this interview all day. -Joey, you’re killing me I literally have to take this -Was she acting weird? Wait what oh my God come on get the camera to the camera come on -No, it’s completely out of control at this point. What am I supposed to do? Those idiot trash people are going to know that I’m making it all up And then what? And then what? I’m going to be on the news? My face, I’m going to be taken off YouTube? What? What’s the consequence here? Huh? What, their money is given back? Those idiots. They’re just giving me free money at this point. Shit. -When I say “ash”, you say “trash”! Ash!
-Trash! – I say ” Ashley”, you say “con”! Ashley!
-Con! -Oh, I’m so excited! -I can’t believe you. Can’t believe you would lie to all these people. We caught you man. -What are you, the moral police? -First there is some administrative stuff. -You’ve been stringing along for God knows how long and you’ve been making them spend their money and it’s like -I don’t make them do anything! They’re giving me money for my words. They’re welcome. – You’re promising them nothing. It’s empty bullshit, Ashley. -Everything is empty bullshit -Ashley, Ashley, Ashley You know what? I implore you to just go out there and just tell the truth, because Who knows man? it’ll certainly make them feel better and Maybe it’ll work in your favor as well. Come on guys -What? -Oh guys know her you know her. You love her. I love her. I left everything behind for her. I left my family, my kids, my wife. Oh come on to the stage: Ashley! -Honestly. Literally. Lolz forever. Can I tell you something? I’m in a healing mood today. Who am I gonna heal? You. Branda. Face them. Branda, I want you to connect to your innermost fear. The thing that keeps you up at night. -I have this recurring nightmare that There’s like a big like carnival Cruise ship except it’s not on the water It’s like outside my house like on a residential street, and then like all my friends are on it You know when they know that that carnival is my favorite cruise line. They’re all having so much fun, and I’m I come out my door, and I go all my, all my friends and I run after the ship and the ship just takes off and no matter how hard I run I can never catch up with with my friends -Branda I want you to close your eyes I want everybody in this room to picture that carnival cruise ship. All your best friends are on that carnival Cruise ship. You’re going to run In your mind Toward that carnival cruise ship. I want you to run. You run, Branda. You run toward that ship. You run! You catch it! You can catch it! Boop it! Boop it, Branda. -She’s okay! -Lolz -Lolz
-Lolz -Lolz Uh, listen Trash heaps. I, uh Uh I’m sorry guys. Can I tell you something? -Tell us something! Trash heaps, I’m a fraud. -That is actually funny. -No, it’s not actually funny. It’s not actually funny. Lolz forever, I stole it from- That’s not even my catch phrase, I stole it from my ex-roommate, Lisa. I’ve been stealing all of your money. Okay? I’ve been stealing it purposefully. Specifically. The guy with the obstructed view? I went to Six Flags and I laughed the whole time I went on Tatsu. Just with your money okay, okay? All of this was just started to get back at my ex-boyfriend to show him How well I’m doing and he’s never even watched one of the videos Okay? And now I’m here with you guys So I’m sorry No, no, Dan come here. Don’t do that, Dan. Don’t fucking.. – This is a test. This is a test. -No. It’s not a test. -It’s a test! -It’s a test!
-It’s a test! -It’s a test! -It’s not a test! -It’s a test! -It’s a test!
-It’s a test! -It’s a test! -Ashley! -Ashley!
-Ashley! -Ashley!
So many fun characters in this! 🙂
ashley skidmore reminded me a lot of tricia helfer
Ayy Lily Marks!
holy shit they've done it again. literally, the tin can bros make nothing but incredible content that's well written, so well made and just every part of it feels so perfect and somehow they manage to bring both this ridiculous humor together with a serious undertone and it never fails to amaze me.
'Hello my name is NAME' okay then
SHIT LILAH IS MY NAME
fuuuckk lmao
LOLZ 4EVER
you guys create the weirdest crap and i love it
Honestly if they did this for TCB I would defo be trash and I’m fine to admit it…
They posted!!!!
This captured everything unsettling about YouTube celebrity worship so accurately and with such an elegant sense of humor!
This was just shot so beautifully. Really glad I finally got to see it. Thanks tcb
I feel so called out. lolz
Ashley is the best Fangirl haha I love it! Also, I think Joey is like…really adorable guys xD
But where did she get that pink coords? 😍
Y'all trying to tell us something, TCB?
Holy shit this is amazing 😂 also does anyone know where I can get the crystal choker Ashley is wearing?
THIS WAS SO FUNNY BUT ALSO SO BEAUTIFUL AT THE SAME TIME HOW DO U DO IT
"Boop it! Boop it Branda!" XD
I love you Lauren!!!
You forgot to put Diane's name in the credits
LAUREN
The one person who thumbs downed this is garbage. Not T.R.A.S.H., garbage.
DEEP…..
I love the colors and Ashley's outfit is on point.
Damn
I thought this was paramore related haha
Me: Hey, I’m gonna watch that new TCB video before bed! What a nice, light way to end this long, hard day.
Idle Worship: bright and humorous on the outside; dark and deep upon any level of scrutiny
Me: W E L P.
Feeling called the fuck out tho
I can think of so many fandoms like this it's scary
Why is no one talking about the fact that the name tag of the guy with the obstructed view says "NAME" lmao
100th comment
Am I the only one upset that Diane isn't in the credits
Okay, this short is phenomenal as its own, but Lauren Lopez is a freakin POWERHOUSE in this wow
Wow…
I love her outfit it’s all pink.
wow….i love how true this is
Wow! Missed the release of this by a while bc i was in the hospital, but this is great! Love the commentary on youtube fame and your own fans obsession with you. I love t=how all your work is both funny and serious
This has that same eery vibe as at the end of Drop Dead Gorgeous when they find out the pageant is cancelled and the company is bankrupt and they just start destroying the building…
I love that movie and I love this! Great work and so prescient!
Why do I feel like the Tin Can Bros are making fun of the fandom bc honestly I'm honoured
She left it too log and it’s gone to far. This is so amazing!
Wow! I wish this video would trend.. perfectly sums up celebrity culture. SCAMS. dan and Phil, Shane Dawson, everyone. stop believing in these fakery new religions like transgendism is the new cult.
still a better con than tanacon
Also… Joey sounds like Alan Resnick…
Is no one going to point out that Ethan Craft from Lizzie Mcguire is playing the guitar!?
how has this been up for 5 months and this is the first time i watched it? this is fantastic
Amazing.
This is so fucking dumb I love it
Playing Starkid Spotted in this video is a trip and a half, y'all
The one dislike is from Ashley
Omg I just lost it when I saw Dylan on that girls lap omg hahah
Wow that was so good!
I’m disappointed in tcb I didn’t see Diane in the credits
The way the music stopped when Joey said "cult." gave me chills wOW
Excellent commentary
Hilarious/clever writing
Being left unsure whether to be creeped out, depressed, or amused
Where has this video been all my life!!
This predicted Tanacon
i loved the ending! great video
This is very Roxy Carmichael. I love it.
This very well done. I liked the mix of serious documentary with the comedy . Nice seeing some more of theStarkids in there too
ashley cON,, CON
Lauren's rat tail hurts me physically
BOOP IT BRANDA
i loooooove lily in this omg
the cinematography in this is just so so fucking good….that last shot of ashley's face through all the fans….wow
This is my daughter carol ann
Wow, Ashley is a real woman
DYLAN is so cute!!!
Ooft who else was just staring at Robert mansion the whole time?😳
Not to be a trash heap, but i worship this video.
Lauren’s hair in this is severely under appreciated
I really like how purposeful the costume design and set design is. Ashley and the trash heaps all wearing white and pink while Joey and his crew are all wearing dark colors, complete contrasts to both only the ashes but also to the completely white room. Also the scene with Joey and Ashley seems to be in some sort of supply closet, there’s a bunch more colors in there compared to the main room.
This is so creepy I love it
This is peak comedy
Oh ma gawd Brenda got healed
The fact that most of them speak in a southern accent makes me feel a t t a c k e d XD Damn, this video is hilarious though
Why is nobody talking about Lily wearing a Cheeto bag as a hair bow
im laughing at joey being the only normal one
Diane looks absolutely magnificent.
0:26 WHOS THAT IN THE BACK LEFT
IS-
IS THAT ROBERT?
Lauren Lopez with her dog is me with my dogs watching Tin Can Bros/Starkid
This was posted on my birthday
1:07
Me: Robert?
this isn't quite the same meaning of the song that shares its name but wow is it close. same energy. and you know what? i'd love to see more of it, maybe even a short series. especially with the interviewer and ashley as the stars. as she realizes at that one moment what she has created that can no longer be broken and goes to him for help. or something idk. i'd just love to see the contrast in character development.
Wow this got really dark and deep
watching this on the one year anniversary at almost midnight in the dark is frightening I felt that spiritually y’all!
Robert Manion LOL
Lauren Looooooooooooooooooopez and Diane lol
God this is like Elizabeth Holmes mixed with pastel aesthetic. I LOVE it!
this is like…. snl skit starring kate mckinnon level quality
I guess the one dislike is Ashley?
Is it me, or did the credit music sound eerily like "There will always be guys like Potter"
This was so well made and SO unsettling.
at 5:22 my instinct reaction was to pay special attention to the shadings
Wait a second- The credits say Robert Manion in the cast? I couldn't see him?
i love the nametag that says "sharkbait"
odds on the fact that the t shirt lauren is wearing is the smallest one they(the hypothetical t shirt manufacturer) produce
The one dislike is from Ashley…
7:27
“It’s not a cult…”
It’s an exciting new religion that I started.
I found this from the paramore song
