Hello everyone and welcome to Laura's Corner.
00:18
I am Laura and this is my corner in today's episode.
00:21
We'll be talking about the time that I embarrassed myself
00:24
and lost a huge opportunity due to getting COVID.
00:28
Our special guest for today is incredible actress and great
00:32
I will ask her if she ever lost a big opportunity due to getting
00:36
sick or maybe her mom tricked her into doing some weird magic
00:38
like mine did more on that later.
00:42
But first a very important ps A warning in this video, I talk
00:47
about my own personal experience with COVID.
00:49
I acknowledge that COVID is very serious and I'm in no way making
00:54
That being said, I like to laugh at my own pain.
00:57
If you think this video will offend you, please go watch another
01:00
Maybe if cats playing or something and if cats offend you then
01:06
Follow me, it all started with a job opportunity from a big
01:11
company that wanted me to start in one of their social media
01:14
And when I say big, I mean, wish upon a star kind of big if you
01:21
2.5 weeks before the shoot, I have to go to Miami for a friend's
01:25
wedding but because it was still March of 2021 L A was shut down
01:32
We didn't know the extent of the wretchedness that would ensue
01:35
when we get to the wedding.
01:36
No one was wearing masks.
01:39
Not even the who you think they would try to protect them?
01:42
They were the worst ones.
01:44
How we say Venezuela.
01:46
I told my man, listen, we need to be extra careful, keep our
01:49
masks on because like, I'm not trying to ruin my job opportunity
01:52
He's like, yeah, no.
01:54
I'm like, OK, great.
01:55
Two minutes later, this man is without his mask on talking
01:58
to someone at the bar.
01:59
That was mistake number one aside from coming to Miami during
02:02
spring break after dancing and eating and socializing with
02:05
everyone and their mothers with less than one inch apart from
02:07
We fly back to L A with an airlines that rhymes with fear.
02:11
It, that was our second mistake.
02:13
People were yelling at each other for not keeping their masks
02:15
Someone was playing music loud as hell and it smelled like
02:20
When we get to L A on Monday, my manager calls me and tells me
02:23
that he got the company to pay me double.
02:27
My man tests positive for COVID after having a terrible headache
02:30
The night before I start coughing a day later, the day that
02:34
I test positive for COVID, the company calls me and tells me
02:37
how excited they are to work with me.
02:44
Omitting the fact that I have COVID.
02:49
I call my mom because mama always knows what to do or so I thought
02:53
as soon as I finish complaining to my mom about how scared I
02:56
am and how I'm about to lose this opportunity.
02:58
She says, very cryptically, Laura, are you willing to do anything
03:02
it takes to get rid of it?
03:04
And I say good thing.
03:06
Go I know of a healer in Venezuela that can heal you, but you
03:10
And most importantly, you have to do everything he says.
03:13
You will get instructions in the morning and then she hangs
03:17
I'm trying to figure out how to tell my man that he needs to do
03:20
everything I say because the magic man in Venezuela is gonna
03:23
Like how do you tell that to your smart, logical science believing
03:28
boyfriend without sounding like a loca?
03:30
You don't, you sound like a loca a few hours later, my mom delivers
03:34
his instructions that he calls el protocol protocol, numero
03:39
uno clean the entire house, including the laundry.
03:41
That's easy to tell my man because I already love cleaning
03:44
Number two, take a shower and most importantly, clean your
03:49
I'm gonna have to take a shower with him.
03:51
And lastly protocol number three, inhale eucalyptus steam
03:55
with a towel over your head.
03:56
I had no idea how I was gonna get him to do that one.
03:58
I gathered all my courage and I went up to my man and I said, there's
04:01
a magical man that lives in Venezuela who's gonna heal us from
04:03
COVID with a sacred ritual.
04:04
If we follow all of his protocol and give him $20 after, let
04:07
me know when you're ready.
04:08
And he said, listen, I am a man of science, not magic.
04:16
How dare he not follow El Protocol.
04:19
How dare he say, I believe in science.
04:22
Who cares about science?
04:24
I am sick and there is a man in Venezuela who is willing to heal
04:27
me if I was my nostrils.
04:29
I told him, OK, I wanna listen.
04:31
Um If you're not gonna do El Protocol, I need you to go inside
04:33
the room and stay there for two weeks because I'm not trying
04:36
to get COVID from you.
04:36
And I was like, if you follow the man's magical ritual, I can
04:39
hug you right here right now forever.
04:42
We do protocol number 12 and three.
04:43
I slept at ease that night knowing that I will be COVID free
04:49
Nope, I still had COVID two days later.
04:52
My mom was like ECI Laura Protocol.
04:55
It's now four days before my shoot, I call my doctor.
04:58
I don't have symptoms.
04:59
It's been a week and a half.
05:00
Why am I still testing positive?
05:03
You're gonna test positive for the next six weeks.
05:06
But they can give me a doctor's note that says I'm no longer
05:09
contagious and that I can resume work.
05:11
I cave and I call the producer, I call them and I tell them that
05:14
I had COVID recently, but I'm no longer contagious.
05:17
Oh, about how long ago did you have COVID?
05:20
Um like two weeks now, you know, you had COVID and you didn't
05:27
But there was a magic man in Venezuela that was supposed to
05:29
heal me if I followed his protocol.
05:30
But then it didn't work and he said that I would test negative
05:32
but it didn't happen.
05:33
And then my mom got upset at me and then my boyfriend got upset
05:35
And anyways, I have a doctor's note.
05:37
It says I'm no longer contagious and then I can go back to work
05:40
They said that had, I told them earlier, they could have probably
05:43
helped me and worked with me.
05:46
I lost my big opportunity.
05:49
My man kept trying to console me telling me that everything
05:52
happens for a reason.
05:54
So we decided to go to Santa Barbara the week of the shoot, which
05:58
happened to be on our five year anniversary.
06:00
And there he propose to me.
06:03
Ladies and gentlemen.
06:05
I'm gonna get married anyway.
06:07
I may have embarrassed myself in front of this big company
06:10
but at least I am healthy and I am engaged to a man that puts
06:14
up with my crazy God bless him.
06:17
Seriously, let's meet our guests and see if anything similar
06:20
Probably not because this shit only happens to me.
06:24

I just wanna be cuddled.
07:27
I want my man to take care of me.
07:29
I want my mom to, to give me food like I, I become a child.

07:59
But first you're going to try them string, wet a piece of string
08:03
with saliva and put on forehead.
