The Barstool star recently sat down with E! News to talk money moves. And from the sounds of it? Her rise to the top was anything but random. "Everything was calculated.

Sure enough, endless "unscripted" episodes later, and the 27-year-old is officially living her best life. But with her newfound fame also comes a newfound sense of responsibilities - after all, she's got millions of daddys tuning in each week. "I'm not just going to say some reckless **** because now knowing not only the amount of people that listen to me, but after gaining through this three years of podcasting, the loyal listeners... actually implement what I'm saying into their daily lives," she confessed.

Thankfully, she's got her own gang to lean back on when the cameras aren't rolling. "My brother and my family have been helpful in this."
