Celebrating Creating Comedy & Outsmarting the Cancel Mob

JEN'S GoGirl Journey

I’ve always loved comedy. Ever since I was a little girl, I had a passion for watching funny movies, hearing, and telling funny jokes, and creating funny skits with my siblings. I loved dressing up as a clown for Halloween. My dad has always been a goofball, and seldom did a day go by where he didn’t pull some kind of prank or telling some hilarious joke to make us kids crack up. On road trips, my dad would play comedy cassette tapes mixed in with some of his favorite musical artists. Music, comedy, and laughter were constants in our home. My dad played guitar every day, often performing storytellingtype songs like C.W. McCall’s Wolf Creek Pass, “Me an’ Earl was hauling chickens on a flatbed outta’ wiggins.” We had a long list of favorite

requests for him, and we had so much fun trying to sing along to the ones where we My love for acting and comedy could keep up. Comedy was the thread that began when I was a little girl. kept us all so close and tightly knit. I met Mother Teresa when I was about seven years old outside of the Cathedral in San Francisco. My Grandma Murphy ,introduced me to the tiny woman who was about the same My parents taught us the “Joy In Giving” from a young age.

My favorite costume for Halloween was usually a clown.

In my pursuit for the title of “Miss Oregon” I performed numerous Broadway style acts, with singing, acting and choreographed dance.

height as me. She gave me a hug and said that I was beautiful, and I had the love of God inside me and I could spread joy to a lot of people. She made a lasting impression on me, and I would read her books, including “The Joy in Loving” and looked up to her as a hero. My Grandma Murphy also was a hero of mine. She was such a loving, fun, free-spirited person. She would skip and dance everywhere she went, and always had the best laugh and smile. I knew I wanted to spread joy too… I just didn’t know the path I was supposed to create to sprinkle such sentiments. Being second to the oldest of twelve children, I followed in my dad’s footsteps of becoming an entrepreneur and an entertainer. I had my own tool belt at a young age and would go to job sites with my dad and started earning money while helping him with construction and electrical work. Long days of work didn’t seem so long because my dad would make it fun. I always had an eager audience with my siblings. They especially loved it when I told them stories at night, even playing out the characters in the scenes. My ideas

seemed to just come, and I never ran out of imaginative content. Growing up in such a large family and with an entrepreneurial father, our financial situation was usually up and down. When I was twelve, we moved to southern Oregon into a tiny mobile home in the countryside. There were ten of us kids at the time and we shared triple bunk beds and fit into them like sardines in a can. But we laughed and had fun more than ever, enjoying the great, gorgeous outdoors of Oregon.

Chasing Dreams, Climbing Ladders

For years I applied myself to becoming successful in business, gradually climbing the corporate ladder, and becoming a top sales manager in a fortune 500 company in my early twenties. I simultaneously competed in pageants, which gave me an opportunity to perform on stage and feed a little that burning passion to entertain. I earned scholarships and took college courses in marketing and business, which helped me further develop my professional career. But something was still missing. Deep down I imagined I had an opportunity to become an actress in Hollywood and dreamed of switching gears into entertainment.

At age 25, I competed in the Miss Oregon USA pageant and won the crown! I flew to Hollywood and competed in the Miss USA Pageant, landing a spot in the top ten. It felt like my dreams were finally coming true. After the winner was crowned, Donald Trump came on stage and walked directly up to me. He said, “You were my favorite, but I’m not allowed to get involved in the judging since I own the pageant.” I told him “The Apprentice” was my favorite show and that since I didn’t win the crown of Miss USA,

I was excited to be able to try out for the show. He said, “Here’s my card. You would be great. Contact me and I’ll help make that happen.” Well, somehow in the hustle and bustle of the after-party that night, I regrettably lost Donald Trump’s card. You could say I suffered from a “blonde moment,” which I, admittedly, tend to have from time to time.

I went back to Oregon feeling a little defeated. Had I missed my chance? A few weeks later I realized it was the final weekend to try out for season four of “The Apprentice” in San Diego. I bought an airline ticket, flew to San Diego, and waited in line all day with thousands of other eager wannabe contestants vying for a coveted spot on the widely popular reality television show. Low and behold, I DID land a spot on the show, and it felt like a whirlwind.

Living in Trump Tower in New York City, competing with A-type personalities, and working with some of the largest companies and brands in America was quite an experience – one I’ll never forget and cherish for a lifetime. And, going toeto-toe with Donald Trump and defending myself in the boardroom wasn’t exactly a walk in Central Park, either. But I am forever grateful for those memories and fully embraced the once-in-a-lifetime experience.

I made it halfway through the show before I found my spot on the chopping block and I was fired. The producers informed me Mr. Trump wanted to have a phone conversation with me. Trump told me that even though he had fired me on the show, he would still love to hire me to come work for him in REAL LIFE! He said he had been impressed and thought I was very talented and driven. We met in person at his office, and he gave me a couple of amazing job offers.

But I knew deep down that it was time to shift gears from business and move into my dream of working in entertainment. I respectfully declined and told him it was possible we could work on something in the future, but that I had to follow my heart.

Important (Hard) Lessons Learned

This is when I hired a business/ entertainment consultant in Los Angeles. Her name was Ramey. She suggested I start a business that could help finance my own

entertainment projects so that I would be independent and not reliant on Hollywood. Her idea? “JenniferMurphyBeds.” Wow! The moment she wrote it on the white board I was smitten with it! Having lived in a mobile home for a few years with nine siblings at the time, I loved the idea of space saving beds. Plus, my last name fit right in since the original inventor was William Murphy. What could possibly go wrong? It was a match made in business heaven. It became a new business goal for me, and I was determined to make it happen. I bought the domain name, JENNIFERMURPHYBEDS.COM, and was excited to make it a reality. I just needed to find the right partners.

For a few years, I dove into acting class and fell in love with the craft. My teachers would always say “Jen, do comedy! You’re good at it and people won’t be expecting it from you.” I went on to land a few TV and movie roles. It felt good, but something was still missing. I got married to a wealthy, famous man, lived in a sprawling mansion in Beverly Hills, and lived what many would rightfully consider “a fairytale life.” But deep down I was sad and grew lonely and depressed. I realized no amount of money, red carpet events, and celebrity status could provide true happiness if the important things are not there.

Lightbulb Turns On for “Igniting Joy”

I’m forever thankful that during this time I went to a daylong course by a speaker and author named Kevin McCarthy called “The On-Purpose Person.” Kevin’s events, education, and content is all focused on helping individuals learn to soul-search, evaluate, determine, My first lead role was in “Someone to Love,” a short film which many and execute awards. I also wrote and produced their the theme song for the film. individual and unique Godgiven purpose…AND he helps you narrow it down to two, very distinct, executable words. My two words were “Igniting Joy.” Toward the end of the eight-hour, daylong course, when I whittled my two words down to “Igniting Joy” I felt a new sense of purpose and renewed hope in my life. Suddenly, I didn’t feel lost and confused anymore. I knew that very day I needed to find a way to carry out this mission. I realized

My “Sun Chart” helps me stay focused on projects that are fulfilling my purpose of “Igniting Joy.” I give blank sun charts out to the girls and women who attend my GoGirl events so they can use it as a tool for fulfilling their own purpose.

Mother Teresa’s statement to me years ago when I was a little girl wasn’t random or incidental. That I really could “spread joy to a lot of people.” I knew I was ready to stop going down the wrong path and get back into my own groove. I was ready to leave an unhappy marriage, exit Hollywood, and start my own mission to “Ignite Joy”.

But what was it?!

One day it hit me, “GoGirl!” I decided to launch a multi-media organization to empower girls and women all around the world. And, in 2008, GoGirl Worldwide was born. I put on my very first GoGirl Empowerment Experience in southern Oregon and incorporated speakers, live performances, music sponsors, and more. Girls and women of all ages loved the event, and it was a success in many ways. But I quickly realized that it’s difficult to make money with seminars if you don’t have something to sell. I found myself upside-down financially. My passion for building GoGirl wasn’t about money, but I realized it takes money to build a company and brand.

I found myself in a conundrum.

So, I started producing marketing videos for companies to help pay the bills. And I also began making funny short video clips to market GoGirl Worldwide on a new platform. That platform would become social media giant YOUTUBE.COM. I created an alter ego, “GoGirl,” a superhero on a mission to spread smiles and ignite joy. My GoGirl character drove a kiddie Barbie Jeep, often tripped on her bright pink cape – or platform stilettos - but she always got back up and NEVER gave up.

In 2015 I decided to take my production abilities and quality to the next level. I teamed up with Patrick Ellison, an experienced and talented producer and

camera operator. Together, we co-founded Viral Video Media Group. I shared with Patrick my goal of building GoGirl and producing content to “Ignite Joy,” but that I needed to make money to make that goal happen. I asked him to team up with me and produce videos for companies - large and small - and told him we could work toward the direction of being able to film GoGirl music videos and fun content that could eventually be monetized. I said, “Let’s get the bread-and-butter accounts going, and then we’ll have some fun.” He loved my vision and business plan and agreed to becoming my partner.

One day I met a guy named Larry, one of the partners who owned a Murphy bed store called Wall Beds and More, including a line of Murphy beds called SourceOne. I couldn’t believe it! I told him about my long-time goal of launching “JenniferMurphyBeds.” I told him it would set his line of bed apart from the other Murphy bed companies since no one else had a spokesperson in that niche. He brought me in for a meeting with his business and manufacturing partner, Jeff, and after multiple meetings and negation, we inked a deal.

In addition to becoming the spokesperson for their online Murphy beds sold on sites like Wayfair and Overstock, we would also rename their retail store “JenniferMurphyBed Gallery.” In addition to the deal with Larry and Jeff, they also introduced me to two other individuals, Edd and Liz, who owned a chain of over 20 Murphy bed stores that they supplied with their designs. The plan

was to roll out “JenniferMurphyBed Galleries” at all these locations once we had the flagship location dialed in. We planned to create a sales force of JenniferMurphyBed independent consultants all over the United States who could go into homes and businesses and sell customized Murphy bed packages and earn commissions.

JenniferMurphyBeds was awakening!

A year of hard work went into creating new bed designs, marketing materials, websites, social media accounts, videos, and commercials all to gear up for the launch of JenniferMurphyBeds. I was hopeful that once the bed sales started rolling in, I would finally have the bandwidth and means to build GoGirl Worldwide. During this same time, Patrick and I had a company called Devealpp hire us. They wanted us to create a series where there is a villain trying to stop the launch of the company. I remembered my friend Peter who impersonated Mr. Chow in the Hangover movies had asked me to put him into one of my funny video projects. Peter was hilarious and so good at impersonating Mr. Chow that when he went to nightclubs in Vegas, they thought he really was the actor from the famous film, and they would give him a V.I.P. booth. Peter was thrilled for the opportunity to play the role in my series. I wrote a script about Chow trying and stop me (GoGirl) as I helped launch the company’s app service. It was an over-thetop dramedy where I decided that I, too, could become a Ninja, and my “blonde” character thinks that part of becoming a Ninja like Chow is to also sound like him. The accent was part of the joke and was intended to make it even funnier. Having always been a huge fan of Ryan Higa on YouTube, one of my favorite videos he made was “How to Be Ninja”. Ryan and his Ninja video were part of the

Outside the front door of the first “JenniferMurphyBedGallery”

inspiration behind me writing the character of a Ninja for Chow to play.

I also began writing the song “I Want to Be Neenja” with the help of a talented music producer, Dennis Woodard, for a comedic music video in which Chow and GoGirl duel it out. Since I was gearing up to launch JenniferMurphyBeds I started incorporating product placement for my new line wherever I could. I made the first line in my song “I shut my Murphy bed, sat down to scratch my head. What could this day bring? It could be anything.”

And I was right! It sure could be anything, and certainly not what I had planned.

Murphy’s Law: Anything That CAN Go Wrong, WILL Go Wrong

I asked my partners if I could perform my new song at the launch party of the very first JernniferMurphyBed Gallery. I assured them my friends enjoy my YouTube videos, songs, and humor and that it would be a fun surprise for the audience. The night of the party a case of Murphy’s Law took place. Although I had a diverse group of friends attend, including many different nationalities, the angle of the camera operator filming my performance of my Neenja song showed mostly Caucasians and one Asian woman named Fiona. She was newly from China and spoke very little English. She had come with a friend of mine, and I met her that night for the first time. Though I had many Asian friends at the party, she was the only one near the front and in the camera’s view. I gave the performance my very all and thought I did pretty well considering it was my very first time performing the song in front of a live audience. Everyone seemed to enjoy my it, including Fiona, although she was slightly confused due to the language barrier. She and I became good friends and she’s attended numerous GoGirl events over the years. But that night I didn’t realize that Murphy’s Law was at work and the Cancel Mob was about to strike.

The following weeks after the JenniferMurphyBeds launch were amazing. We were selling record numbers of beds daily, with online orders from all over the country. It was working! And my commission checks were the largest checks I had made in a long time and growing steadily. It was an incredible feeling after all the ups and downs I had been through. I felt I finally had a solid, long-term plan that could sustain while I took steps to build out my vision for GoGirl Worldwide.

But my victorious feeling didn’t last long. One day while I was in the office with one of my Murphy bed partners, the phones started to ring with irate people making threats, and nasty emails started flooding in. My partner Jeff asked, “What is going on?!” After I saw some of the emails sent to me, attacking me, and calling me a “racist,” I had a feeling it had something to do with the video of my Neenja

performance I had posted on my YouTube channel shortly after the launch party. Although I had written the song for a music video, I was eager to get some feedback from my followers on the song and couldn’t resist the urge to post it.

What we quickly figured out is that a blogger called “Angry Asian Man” made a story along with a strategic screen shot and video linked to my performance with the headline, “No, Jennifer Murphy. You are not Neenja.” His blog went on to say I irrefutably performed a racist song at my launch party for JenniferMurphyBeds. Instantaneously, thousands of “social justice warriors” jumped on the band wagon and started spewing nasty and cruel comments. Some sought out my personal email address and doxed me, sending horrific emails and even death threats. People were calling the store and threatening to come burn it down! Our social media and yelp accounts became under attack by social arbiter mob. The media jumped in and began writing articles with nasty headlines and false, mean statements. I was under attack by the “Cancel Mob” and the “Woke Media,” and they were resolute to ruin me.

I learned firsthand how heartless and cruel this mob can be. And this was before “woke” was even a household term. I quickly learned they attempt to “cancel” you before they make even the slightest effort to learn anything about who you really are or what your true situation is. They blindly go along with the ferocious pack, and delight in the idea that they have some sort of power in canceling someone. The bloodthirsty mob knows no bounds and grows and grows its momentum, not listening to any explanation or clarification. They have no intention of slowing down or weighing out the facts. In my case, they decided to label me as a rich, privileged, white racist bitch who had inherited a Murphy bed fortune. They also made the incorrect assumption the Asian woman hated me and my song.

My Murphy bed partners freaked out and didn’t know how to handle the situation. I told them that in a way it was a good thing because my song was getting a lot of exposure and in the end, it would be

invaluable marketing and “Lightening in a Bottle.” I told them I wasn’t worried because in the end the truth aways comes out, and that I’m not a racist or any of the other nasty things they were calling me. I knew that at the right time I would be able to stand up for myself and tell my story.

But convincing my partners was a whole other ball game.

My partner Jeff wrote an apology letter on my behalf that he ordered me to sign. I told him, “I’m not sorry. And I did nothing wrong. This will only give even more fuel to the haters’ insatiable fire.” He then sat me down in the conference room and said, “Jen, you need to promise to never make funny videos again. You’re our “Kathy Ireland” and you’re going to make a lot of money with us, but we can’t risk having this ever happen again. I told him, “I’m not Kathy Ireland. I’m Jennifer Murphy. I love making funny videos and it’s part of who I am. You can’t put me in a box like that. No amount of money will keep me from living my authentic life.”

And so, Murphy’s Law came to fruition.

I was terminated that day from my role as spokesperson, as well as the partnership. It was a devastating blow, both emotionally and financially. And shortly after I started losing my other video clients who were also being hounded by the mob. I lost my entire income stream, and I was being attacked every day by thousands of vicious haters. My dream of having a JenniferMurphyBeds brand and years of ups and downs and working towards my goals were crushed by the unforgiving, evil, sanctimonious Cancel Mob. I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know how I was going to pay my rent. My image online was ruined, and I didn’t know how I would replace my income. I felt terrible for my Viral Video partner Patrick, as he was also negatively impacted by all this nonsense. He and his wife had plans of starting a family soon and I knew they needed to increase their income, not lose it. The domino affect created by the Cancel Mob goes far beyond what many people would assume. But the Cancel Mob doesn’t care about that. They are too busy celebrating their victory of ruining someone’s life and livelihood and are already seeking new prey to hunt and kill. They tell themselves they’ve done a heroic act and are working toward social justice, and they justify their horrible and hateful behavior. But it isn’t about social justice at all. It’s about having power – power over someone else’s life.

This pic of me and my sister Julianna was taken just minutes before my crazy “ride” down the Rogue River

An Unplanned Trip — Down the River

I grew depressed and confused and didn’t know where to turn. I decided to go visit my family in Oregon to try and catch my breath and gain some perspective. My siblings and I started referring to our parents’ house as “Murphy Rehab and Golf.” There was often one of the twelve kids visiting or needing a reboot in life, and golfing in the back yard was just one of many outdoor activities that we loved. This trip I took was during early fall. It was still sunny and warm, so we decided to go rafting on the Rogue River. Growing up this was one of my favorite things to do. Two of my sisters, two brothers and a few friends formed our group. We were short on rafts, so my sister Julianna and I ran into a local store and bought a couple of small, cheap rafts. Once in the river she and I made a bad decision and opted to forgo wearing a life jacket. We stored our life jackets in one of the larger rafts and intended to stay in a group and put them on if we came across bigger rapids.

Yes, I another “blonde” moment had eluded me once again.

Part way down the river, the group in the larger rafts with paddles gained more distance between my sister and me. After another turn in the river bend. I slipped off my raft which quickly was sucked away from me. I tried to swim toward it but instantly realized I was at the mercy of the river. I screamed for help, but no one heard or saw me. Being fall, the water was lower, and the rocks were more prevalent. I went through the rocky rapids screaming and crying as I hit the rocks with force. After about 10 minutes and many bends of the river I started to really panic and continued to scream for help. Every set of upcoming rapids was like a scary, waterpark ride I didn't really want to go on. I figured my best method of survival was to let my body be limber and go with the flow of the water (rather than fighting it). Feeling the rocks just graze my legs and back, I tried to keep from hitting my head. I've never been so scared in my life. But I knew I was not ready to die. I prayed to God and was determined to make it. After what felt like an hour (only 30 minutes) I started to go into shock. My body was numb at this point, and I was exhausted.

I felt helpless but tried staying hopeful.

I finally rounded a bend and saw a bridge up ahead with my sisters on the side of the bank. My sister Julianna rowed out to me in a raft right as I was sucked into a whirlpool section of water. I almost don't remember, as I was barely conscious at that point. My sister Mary helped her pull me onto the raft and over to the shore. I was still in shock but overcome with relief and happy to be alive. We found a place to sit on the rocky cliff, and my sister Julianna pulled out a dry joint. I thought, “I almost died, and she pulls out a dry joint?!” She had me take a little puff to help calm my nerves, and then asked, “What did each rock whisper to you as you treacherously grazed over them and made your way down the river?” My response was, “They said, "You'll be ok. Go with the flow.”

We need to remember in life that the hard times will pass, and the good times can be right around the bend. I thank God for my wonderful sisters who were there to help rescue me. And yes... Next time I'll wear a life jacket.

I came back to Orange County with a positive and fearless new outlook. I adopted a more playful outlook to the situation I was in, looking for the silver lining. I decided to embrace my “I Want to Be Neenja” song and completely owned it despite the haters, despite the backlash, despite the empty threats, despite whatever the future held. I was going to “go with the flow.” I was going to explore the journey with a hopeful and happy heart. And I was going to continue to create content that had the mission of “Igniting Joy.”

The Helpful Haters Became My Motivators

My song ended up becoming “internet” famous. It seemed I had garnered millions of fans globally and just overnight! Other YouTubers and comedians showcased my

song and performance, and it became a topic of conversation regarding the topic of comedy and cancel culture. Some of them judged me. Others loved me. But they were talking about me. Some had me on as guests for their shows and provided me with an opportunity to share my story and my mission to ignite joy and build GoGirl Worldwide. Millions of people got to know more about who the real Jen Murphy is, and fewer haters blindly jumped on the band wagon. Don’t get me wrong I still get haters every day. But the more they realized that I didn’t care what they thought, and that I was still living and thriving and enjoying life they lost some of their futile lust in attacking me. And I must say, I think the initial Cancel Mob that got me terminated from my Murphy bed deal also did me a big favor. Having partners that want you to give up your love of making funny videos and who terminate you when the sh*t hits the fan are not the kind of partners I want – or need. And I don’t want to walk on eggshells when it comes to my personal or business life. That’s not to

In my GoGirl office with my mentor Sheri Sharman. say that I don’t evaluate my decisions a little more closely now, but I live true to who I am, and I feel great about that. Over the past five years I have accomplished a lot and have been very creative in the way I make things happen. I like to think that I’m outsmarting the Cancel Mob. I’ve created dozens of new YouTube videos including the music video for “I Want to Be Neenja”, which also has gone viral around the world. My song now has hundreds of millions of views on various Sometimes I start my show by surprising my audience with my “old social media lady act” inspired by Carol Burnett” platforms,

especially TikTok, and is quite popular in the gaming industry. Surprisingly, I even had a video game created for “I Want to Be Neenja” which can be downloaded in the Google Play App Store.

Who knew?

“Everybody Get Weird,” “Metamorphosize,” and “P.O.O.P. and Smile” (Power of One Person) are a few of my original songs and music videos I’m proud of and I know bring joy to kids and people of all ages and walks of life.

What’s another way I’ve outsmarted the Cancel Mob? I launched GoGirl Worldwide Magazine a couple years ago, and work with an amazing team to create positive and empowering content. My lead staff writer and editorial content manager, Nicole Gratson, is as fearless, fierce, and driven as me when it comes to staying true to the mission of the GoGirl brand and never allowing the Cancel Mob to sway our authentic content. This is the hill we are willing to die on. I can write and publish my own articles that are truthful, positive, empowering, and affirming, without worrying if I’ll lose my position or partnership. I’m the boss! I’m in the driver’s seat. We’ve featured countless female entrepreneurs and some amazing GoGuys as well as celebrities, young philanthropists, and a variety of movers and shakers in education and entertainment. We feature products and affiliate marketing where I can earn commissions – none of which can ever be ripped from me, no matter how bad the haters hate. I am my own publisher. I hold the reins.

These days, comedy and freedom of speech have drastically devolved. And although I agree some level of change and evolution is necessary and essential, wholesome fun and harmless humor are being unfairly policed and attacked. Most people, including comedians, feel they are on a constant eggshell walk. The “woke culture” has insufferably morphed into a laughable cancel mob that seeks to ruin the lives of individuals, especially artists, that speak their views in a way that opposes their own.

There’s a word for that. It’s called Fascism.

I’m not the only one who’s standing up to the Cancel Culture, outsmarting the Cancel

Mob, and fed up with walking on eggshells when it comes to comedy. I think most people are tired of it and want non-woke content and comedy to make a full-scale comeback.

Elon Musk, who we feature as a GoGuy in this issue of GoGirl Worldwide, believes wokeness is destructive morally reprehensible. He says, “Generally I think we should be aiming for a positive society, and it should be ok to be humorous. Like, woke-ness basically wants to make comedy illegal. Which is not cool.”

We at GoGirl couldn’t agree more.

There are even some comedians who are trying to play both sides of the field when it comes to woke-ness and are being called out on it. Joe Rogan, during a podcast where he interviews friend and fellow comedian/ podcaster, Tim Dillon, says, “There’s a lot of cowardness in comedy, man there’s a lot of cowards. And there’s a lot of people who take, they take some chances but then they f*cking think about them and they panic, and then they go back, and they try and attack someone because they think it makes them feel like they’re more protected because they’re on the offensive. It’s like, it’s a wild time man.”

Ironically, Tim Dillon, Joe Rogan’s friend in that interview, features my song and video performance on his own podcast with his fellow comedian hosts. He and his buddies

My sweet friend Fiona who my “haters” all say must despise me comes to many of my GoGirl events. She loves my funny YouTube videos and we have truly bonded over the years.

love the song and my performance and laugh historically while viewing it on Tim’s show. Tim Dillon says, “It’s f*cking great, it’s so good, it’s amazing! I don’t think it’s offensive I think this is hilarious. It’s great! It’s the best thing I’ve seen!”

We think so, too.

Other comedian/podcaster friends of Joe Rogan decided NOT to approve of me and my song and made a mockery out of it on their podcast “Bad Friends.” Bobby Le who happens to be Asian, and Andrew Santino, a translucent-like white redhead, decided I’m out of line and should not be allowed to do an Asian accent. They even went as far as to allow me to come onto their show as a guest, but Andrew Santino continued to rationalize that I’m being insensitive to Asians by doing the accent because, in his words, “You’re not a true comedian.” Andrew continued to tell me I’m not funny, which is another reason I

am not allowed to do accents, but that HE can. It’s utterly ridiculous and astoundingly hypocritical and I have a strong feeling he is one of the cowardly comedians Joe Rogan was referring to during his podcast with Tim Dillon. I did my best to stand my ground, but after being treated rudely and unfairly I decided to get even - in a fun and harmless GoGirl sort of way. I made an updated version to my “I Want to Be Neenja” video game with avatars closely resembling the image and likeness of Bobby Lee and Andrew Santino.

Hee-hee. Life really does have a “funny” way of working out.

It turns out I didn’t need to spend my own time calling these guys out as hypocrites. A radio host name Mike David on Red Bar

Radio hosted an entire episode where he completely calls them out on their obvious cowardliness, blatant hypocrisy, and complete lack of self-awareness. Mike goes on to talk about how people have begun to call everything and everyone “racist” and that doing an imitation of an accent in a playful and comedic way IS NOT RACIST. Mike also talks about being a big fan of the song and thinks it’s funny. Mike calls the Bed Friend’s duo out saying that since Jen isn’t “Joe Rogan approved” and in their circle, she’s “not allowed.” Mike goes on to point out Andrew Santino is trying to stick up for Asians and uses Jen as an example because he doesn’t want to personally be canceled by the mob.

Fortunately, there are many amazing and fearless comedians who would never stoop to this level. I love Dave Chappell and commend him for his approach when it comes to the Cancel Mob. He calls them out and then just keeps doing his thing. Seinfeld says, “There’s a creep P.C. thing out there that really bothers me.” Piers Morgan says during an interview on “The View, ““Just because you’re offended doesn’t mean you’re right.” Trevor Noah says, “How your action is implied does not define what you were doing. Playful eyes, voice, and satire is poking holes at stereotypes. Noting differences doesn’t implicitly make it a bad thing, if you use differences to celebrate them.”

Joe Rogan, who is known for freely speaking his mind, gets attacked often. When Tim

A few of Jen’s favorite comedians/actors include Dave Chappelle, Carol Burnett and Jim Carrey.

I got tired of feeling like I was at the mercy of the cancel mob and decided to put myself in the driver’s seat.

Dillon asked him if he was affected by dealing with the scrutiny often, he receives, Joe said, “It has to affect you because you’re aware of it. The question is do you change your operation? Like, do I decide that now I’m gonna play it safe and just have a podcast with athletes or comedians and just talk about silly things? I could do that. I could just decide to bail out of it. Or I could just do exactly what I want to do and do exactly what got me here in the first place. So that’s what I do.”

Elon Musk, Joe Rogan, and other fearless free speech warriors are some of my heroes and I am steadfast in my decision to celebrate comedy and free speech. I’ll always embrace the opportunity to “Ignite Joy” and will never stop building GoGirl Worldwide. Recently I decided to produce “I Want to Be Neenja” THE MOVIE and I’m extremely excited to make a “non-woke comedy action film” that will likely ruffle the feathers of some of the woke mob but will be appreciated by my fans and millions of people who are hungry for over-the-top, unapologetic comedy. I sought out the perfect guy to play my counterpart, the villain Chow character. My friend Peter, who was the original Chow, decided to bow out once the early controversy began. I don’t necessarily blame him. Standing up to the cancel mob is not for the faint of heart. I knew I needed to find someone who had as much love as I do for comedy, and who wasn’t afraid to speak their mind. I knew I needed a dynamic individual with a big heart, and a desire to make a positive impact. Sometimes I have Murphy’s Law, but often I have the luck of the Irish. It was with a lot of prayer and a little luck that I found my Chow! Lambo Le is not only an incredible personality and on camera talent but believes in celebrating comedy and free speech. I especially love that his mother is his inspiration and that he wants people to know Asian

Americans can carry lead roles and have great personalities and a sense of humor. We’ve become friends and “partners in crime” in a mission to outsmart the Cancel Mob and make amazing comedy.

“I am hyped to work with Jen because she shares the same vision and creativity as me. The moment we had our first meeting in person, I could feel the good vibe and energy throughout our conversation. She is more than meets the eye, as she shared her journey of facing cancel culture in the past and life obstacles that derailed her from her dreams. It is easy for us to typecast a person just by their appearance, “She’s a beautiful white girl, she probably has life on easy mode,” which is far from the truth. As I sat in Jen’s spacious and nicely decorated and pinked-out GoGirl office, I could tell she works hard for all of it and realized that nothing was handed to her. What I admire most about her, is her resilience and the “never give up attitude,” because it is what separates a normal person and an entrepreneur! You must believe in your mission, you must believe in your vision, and most importantly, you must believe in yourself when no one does! We need people like Jen that are not afraid to speak up, because there are other voices out there that feel the same but are too afraid to do so. Changes can and will happen when we face what is uncomfortable instead of ignoring it and hoping it will go away. I hope people can gain through my collaboration with Jen that we should embrace each other's differences and still make a good team by spreading smiles, laughter, and most importantly a positive change!

Lambo Le and his Mom When he was a kid. My view on cancel culture is that it continues to get worse throughout the years. People are all walking on eggshells about what they say, knowing it must be politically correct otherwise, the cancel culture will be after them. “The Office” was and still is one of my favorite comedy shows. Everyone enjoyed it and didn’t have the issues with it several years back, however, that show would not be received well now because of the racial and gender type of humor associated with it. We can’t laugh at our differences anymore without looking over our shoulder for the approval of our designated friend that is being the butt of the joke. Of course, it’s not okay to laugh when a joke is intentionally malicious towards a group, however, if the joke is well delivered, thought provoking, and inspires a new perspective, it should be received with praise and laughter! We are all human, it’s okay to laugh at each other's differences, because we are all different! One of Morgan Freeman quotes

during his 60 Minutes interview about stopping racism resonated with me when he said 'To stop racism, you must stop talking about it. You should be called by your name, not by what society labels you as.’

I believe we should stop haunting people's past mistakes and hover it above a person's head. Kevin Hart's dream was to host the Oscars. He spent years perfecting his comedy craft to become a mega star. However, an old tweet had soiled all his years of hard work just because of a joke he did in the past. That tweet was not a reflection of him, and was appropriate to that current time, no different than The Office type of humor. Kevin Hart apologized again, again, and again, but the cancel culture was relentless and unforgiving of what they viewed as a past mistake. We are all human and we all make mistakes, it’s part of growing up, and we will continue to keep growing up until we die. There is no certain age number where we reach and become all knowledgeable and perfect, because that is when one becomes ignorant.

South Korea is deemed the most advanced country in the world, yet they have the worst cyber bully issues that target not only one person, but their whole entire family and work. Famous celebrities like Jay Park from the band 2PM had to step away from his record label because of an old Myspace comment and Go Hara from girl group Kara had taken her own life because she could no longer deal with all the vile and evil hate comments harassing her every day. The worst one was one online streamer girl that said one wrong thing during her gaming stream that not only got her canceled but her mom as well! It got so bad, both she and her mom sadly ended up taking their own lives.

Lambo’s Mom is a true GoGirl with an amazing story.

I can understand why cancel culture exists, and I realize there are people who truly are mean. racist, and downright evil, and deserve to be put in the light when they are caught on camera saying and doing malicious things to innocent victims. We as humans want justice, and we feel good when justice is served! However, we still need to be mindful that at the end of the day, what we say and do behind our screen can affect a person on the other side of that screen who has the same human emotions as we do. The punishment should fit the crime, and cancel culture seems to go overboard and dish out punishment that far exceeds the crime. How is this any better than the mistake they believe was made in the first place? I leave you with this final quote that resonates with me, ‘Every time you point your finger at someone or something else, there are three fingers pointing right back at you.’

Lastly, Jen asked me to share a little something about my mom with all her GoGirl readers. My mom has been a GoGirl since she was born. She grew up in Vietnam and there was nothing easy about being raised by her single mom and six other siblings. My mother worked hard her whole life and her grind mentality was instilled in me and helped me get to where I am today! Because of her support and encouragement to believe in myself and to know I can achieve anything, I was able to get on shows, movies, and start my own business! I like the GoGirl movement of empowering girls and women to pursue their dreams because anything is possible… just like my mom, through hard work and to keep believing in yourself. And don’t take every 'no’ personally. Sometime, a ‘no can simply mean a new opportunity is coming! Keep going and it will become NoGirl to GoGirl!”

What did I tell you?! Isn’t he amazing? I am blessed to have Lambo as my partner in creating “I Want to Be NEENJA” THE MOVIE. And I am also blessed to have my long-time video production partner Patrick as part of the team. HE never gave up on me, even when I was under the worst of attacks. We have begun pre-production and filming will be underway within the next few weeks. I plan to self-release my movie onto many platforms, as well as produce merch that will be showcased in the film. I’m looking forward to doing interviews with Lambo (aka Chow) on various podcasts and shows and talk candidly about celebrating comedy, importance of free speech and other meaningful topics.

My sister Julianna often helps me write songs and make music videos. Her voice is amazing, and she can play almost any instrument.

Song & Video Created by Jennifer Murphy “GoGirl” & Dennis Woodard

Jen’s Official Music Video for Her Global Sensation

I decided not to let the haters keep me down and I produced a music video for “I Want To Be Neenja” like I had initially planned when I first wrote the song.

I love using humor to help share messages, including the message that we are all unique and it’s important that we embrace the things that make us different and special, and celebrate our diversity together.

I felt so blessed on my birthday a few years ago that I decided to make a video with the message of GIVING on your birthday. I had so much fun making this video and song.

I co-wrote this song with Dennis Woodard, my producer and good friend who helped me create “I Want To Be Neenja.” We felt it was important to speak up about how the media often tries to divide us, but that in reality we have much more in common than we realize and should come together in unity regardless of our differences.

From Tesla to Twitter, it seems everywhere you turn, everyone’s talking (and tweeting) about serial tech entrepreneur and investor magnate Elon Musk. So, this summer, we’re making the case for the world’s most curious space cadet turned Twitter tycoon. Meet the man of the moment and this summer’s very

special GoGuy, Mr. Elon Musk.

Not even two short years ago amidst a global pandemic that brought the world to its knees, over 80 million Twitter followers, media personalities, and political pundits would feverishly await the next headline making tweet by then-President Donald Trump before the former president had his posting privileges permanently suspended by the social media giant following the protests at the U. S. Capitol on January 6th, 2020. These days, it seems Elon Musk has unequivocally replaced the allure of impulsive tweet-dropping made famous by the 45th President of the United States. Meet the man who’s making waves around the world — and it has less to do with his wallet size and more to do with his will to restore an inalienable right to the citizens of the greatest country on the planet.

The Making of an Unlikely Mogul

It’s safe to say that nearly everyone and anyone with access to the Internet or a basic television set knows of Elon Musk, the world’s richest human and CEO/ Co-founder of luxury electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla Elon with his mother Maye, his sister Tosca and his Motors and CEO/ brother Kimbal. Founder of SpaceX, amongst many other mentionable ventures. Born on June 28th, 1971, in South Africa to a Canadian-born beauty queen mother and engineer father, Musk was destined to leave his mark on the world. A serial tech

entrepreneur star. An astronautical engineering genius. A biz whiz. A brand innovator. And, currently, a purveyor of free speech and proponent for human progression.

To deflect from the childhood bullies he regularly encountered due to his Asperger’s Syndrome, a precocious and painfully shy Musk would pass the time in solitude by building computers and learning to code. At age 12, he got his first taste of moneymaking when he created a video game and sold it for a paltry $500 to a computer magazine. Raised for much of his childhood in South Africa by his father after his parents split, Musk eventually emigrated to Canada to be with his mother before finally making his way southerly to the United States where he attended Penn State University, earning a degree in physics in 1995. The young tech genius with a lust for the emerging Internet and all the seemingly lucrative and progressive opportunities it offered would drop out of his graduate studies at Stanford after only two days to start finding tech companies Zip2 and X.com. Unfamiliar to many, these two startups eventually merged with a company that most would come to know as PayPal — an American, multinational financial tech site that performs online payments, a long-

awaited lifesaver for small businesses and anyone who wants to send and receive money without having to walk into a bank. With the reported $180 million Musk made from the sale of PayPal after taxes, he would then team with fellow entrepreneurs Martin Eberhard, JB Straubel, Marc Tarpenning, and Ian Wright to co-found electric automotive and sustainable renewable company Tesla, space rocket manufacturer SpaceX, and Solar City, leaving the future richest man in the world having to borrow money to pay rent. Some months, he would bring a cot

to the Tesla headquarters and sleep on the factory floor. Overnight success? Not so much. Since starting SpaceX in 2002, Musk had procured several highprofile contracts with NASA and the U. S. Airforce to design spaceships and has publicly disclosed his steadfast dedication to getting a man on Mars in 2025 with collaborative efforts by NASA.

Free Speech is At Stake

It’s no surprise the 2016 U. S. presidential election between then-democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and republican candidate Donald J. Trump was a contentious one. With all the click-worthy, mudslinging battles unfolding on mainstream media and a social media network near you, sites like Facebook and Twitter quickly morphed into political news and commentary forums, pitting the Left against the Right and vice versa. Gone were the innocuous days of cooing over cute cat videos with your bestie from middle school. Social media networks became the harrowing, hate-filled hosts of online political bloodbaths, and the gatekeepers of the reigning trifecta, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube/Google had no reservations who they would be pulling the lever for. But, it wasn’t a total loss for all. Those heated viral moments launched many careers in both conservative and liberal circles. Make no mistake.

Already a behemoth in the social media sphere, Twitter became President Trump’s platform of choice, his personal megaphone for bypassing the biased, left-leaning, legacy media’s deceptive editing and propagandist agenda. With over 80 million followers, Twitter was his way of speaking directly to the American people, even if half of his Twitter base “hate followed.” He was still able to effectively disseminate the message.

Until he wasn’t.

Following the infamous protests that occurred at the U. S. Capitol on January 6th, 2020,

Twitter’s then-CEO and Founder, Jack Dorsey, along with his executive team, decidedly banned the President for the foreseeable future following tearful meetings filled with juvenile meltdowns, petulant moaning, and unending imploring. Then, Facebook followed suit. YouTube would remove ALL content that contained President Trump speaking, which is still in effect as of this writing. It was an all-out, patent assault on our First Amendment, the Right to Free Speech. Unfortunately, Trump wasn’t the only one on the liberal chopping block. Prominent conservative voices and staunch supporters of the MAGA movement, like Turning Point USA Founder and podcast host Charlie Kirk, television host and outspoken political commentator Tucker Carlson, and U. S. Republican Congresswoman Margorie Taylor Greene, were silenced, censored, shut down.

The Bee Gets Banned and All H*** Breaks Loose

Yet, it wasn’t until the social media giant permanently revoked the posting privileges of the well-known Christian, satirical site, The Babylon Bee, this past spring for their truthful tweet reminding the Twitterverse that transwoman, aka “biological male,” and four-star admiral Rachel Levine was The Man of the Year, that it caught the attention of the renewable energy enthusiast. An ardent fan and follower of the widely popular, libertarian site, Musk made it his mission to effectively save Free Speech — and bring back the Bee. He would randomly post online surveys asking his millions of followers “if a new, social media platform is needed?” and followed up with a tweet reading, “The consequences of this poll will be important. Please

vote carefully.” Within days, the tech tycoon broke headlines when he purchased a 9.2% stake in Twitter stock, resulting with the executive team offering him a prestigious seat on the board, which is accepted, only to respectfully decline days later. Less than a week passed before Musk made breaking headlines again with news he had proposed to purchase the social media giant at $54.20 per share. Panicked their left-wing control on social media was most likely coming to a timely demise, the Twitter board pivoted with what would prove to be an ineffective “poison pill” option to dissuade Musk from acquiring an even larger stake in the company. Realizing Musk had the company in a stranglehold, Twitter would come to accept his offer less than a week later and at the dismay of its thousands of anti-Free Speech employees. A securities filing revealed Musk’s offer was made through a $46 billion commitment.

An unflinching fan of science fiction and philosophy, the prohuman advocate insists his pending Twitter takeover had zero to do with economics and everything to do with saving Free Speech from falling over the proverbial cliff and into the murky waters below. Musk certainly doesn’t “need” Twitter.

That’s obvious. However, he does wish to restore the world’s most influential platform back to a free-flowing dialogue of differing ideas without fear of backlash, banning, and bullying. Stopping censorship of opposing views and voices on the site, specifically of right-wing or libertarian ideology, is one of Musk’s mainstays in his Twitter takeover, as he wishes to turn Twitter into an inclusive “town hall” platform for ALL — free of fear for having a dissenting opinion or view not popular with the court of public opinion. And, what better time? With a slew of social media strongholds like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube continuously shutting down conservative commentators and independent voices, could Musk be the Man Who Saved Free Speech, the fundamental liberty synonymous with America as 2A? Only time will tell, but we’re still crossing our fingers! Those on the tolerant Left displaying share-worthy, cringe meltdowns and promises of ditching Twitter for good should Musk’s pending deal go through is everything we need to know. “[Twitter] is not living up to its potential as a platform for ‘free speech’,” Musk exclaims at a TED talk series back in April.

Musk's Latest Move

Just before this issue of GoGirl launched, Musk made yet another move, throwing his biggest critics and most ardent followers in yet another head-scratching tailspin. The mercurial, mysterious mogul decided to back out of his precariously close-to-closing Twitter deal based on his determination there were significantly more bots and far fewer real users than had been disclosed by Twitter, clearly reducing the value of the company — by a massive amount. Twitter immediately threatened legal action to force the deal to go through – to force a deal they had originally tried painstakingly to upend. The fearless mogul has not backed down and says that now Twitter will be forced by the court to provide the actual data on bots that he’s been asking for. Check… mate? Brilliant or baffling?

Daily Wire’s co-founder and Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro speculates Musk may be playing “4D Chess” and that he’s likely been several steps ahead all along.

Or hasn’t he?

What do you think will happen? Will Musk prove in court Twitter has far fewer real users than they originally suggested, therefore allowing him the opportunity to legally pull out of the deal without incurring penalties or the possibility of jailtime? Will he be required to pay a 1-billion-dollar penalty fee for pulling out based on the contract he signed? Will he renegotiate a new, much fairer price and move forward with the daunting deal? Musk has the fortune (quite literally) of walking away from this fire dumpster without it ever affecting his bottom line. As stated previously in this piece, he never sought economic gains from acquiring Twitter. He wanted to simply provide a universal platform that allowed for the free flow of ALL ideas, discourse, and debate. He wanted to restore America’s lifeline to the First Amendment, one that is currently on life support.

What would you do if you had agreed to purchase an entire wardrobe of mostly designer clothes, handbags, and shoes for a very high sum, only to learn the opulent articles you purchased were mostly knockoffs? Would you insist on renegotiating? Would you pay a significant penalty fee and walk away from the deal? Would you try and renegotiate a new, lower, fairer price?

As of this writing, the entire debacle is in limbo as what will ultimately unfold with Elon and the social media giant. But, here at GoGirl Worldwide, we still commend Musk for making bold moves and standing up for our constitutional right to freedom of speech.

GoGuy! Take it to the Moon, Mars, and beyond!
