WEBVTT - Why Aren’t You Coming Back? 0:00:03.640 --> 0:00:04.560 Sons on the side. 0:00:04.640 --> 0:00:05.040 What's up. 0:00:05.040 --> 0:00:08.119 It's gandhi and I'm here with my girl Diamond say hello, Hi, 0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:11.360 I hate your fake I Hi, good morning. That is 0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:13.000 not what she ever sounds like in real life. In 0:00:13.039 --> 0:00:14.000 real life, you walk by her. 0:00:13.960 --> 0:00:18.760 She's like, what do you want? Oh my god, exactly yet. 0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:20.959 To you, our lovely listener, she says, Hi, do you 0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:21.759 know what I found out? 0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:22.119 What? 0:00:22.560 --> 0:00:25.840 So you know? My mom's best friend passed away, very 0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:29.560 very sad. We went to the funeral services over the weekend, 0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:33.839 and there were so many people there who said that 0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:36.400 they listen, and they were quoting different things. 0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:38.320 Oh there were kids, there. 0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:41.519 Were adults, And it made me so uncomfortable because I 0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:43.760 was like, I didn't even think when I was talking 0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:46.120 all this shit on this podcast that y'all would be 0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:47.760 the ones listening. But now I have to really think 0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:52.840 about that the podcast. Yes, Oh no, well you thought 0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:55.440 the show. I was actually surprised though, because you know, 0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:57.880 we always say that radio is for like a certain 0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:00.600 demographic of people. There were so many young people. They're 0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:03.120 like very young, like high school, still in high school, 0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:07.559 going into college. Who and actually my little cousin who's seven, who. 0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:09.240 Are like radio that's so cool. Oh my god. 0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:12.400 Maybe they're confusing with podcasting. I don't know, but either 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:14.800 way that makes me happy. It was kind of cool. 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:15.320 Yeah. 0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:18.480 Yeah, Well now I have to think about what we're saying. 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:20.120 I'm not gonna do that. 0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:24.479 Uh okay, No, I'm like I will. I mean, your 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:26.840 parents listen all they my dad does? Why is it 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:28.800 your mom? Why does she hate us? 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:29.320 No? 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:33.920 My mom Just it's so funny because during the show 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:36.840 is like her back to sleep time. Like when I 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:38.800 leave the house in the morning, she gets up to 0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:40.440 make sure that I lock the door because I guess 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:41.480 I'm just irresponsible. 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:43.039 I'm not surprised by that. 0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:46.520 And she says that, like she never could just go 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:49.600 right back to sleep, So she's up, she does things 0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:51.880 around the house, and then around like six or seven 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:54.880 is when she actually falls back asleep, so she just. 0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:56.320 Misses the show. Interesting. 0:01:56.440 --> 0:02:00.320 Yeah, I also told her to stop listening once years ago. 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:03.560 It was like my second week on the show, and 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:06.240 she I had a boyfriend at the time, and I 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:08.120 talked about him and she was like that was so cute, 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:09.519 and I was like, don't ever listen again. 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:10.000 How dare you? 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:12.760 Yeah, it's just weird. I'm like, don't listen. Yes, my 0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:15.160 dad just doesn't say anything unless it's funny. See, I 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:18.000 appreciate that. Yeah, my mom had a lot of big ideas. 0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:19.679 When she first started. 0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:21.360 Listening, she was really critiquing me about the things I 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:23.520 would say. She told me not to make fun of 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:27.040 myself because if I pointed out my weaknesses, other people 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:30.000 would capitalize on them and maybe HR would realize that 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:30.919 I was making mistakes. 0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:31.880 I was like, are you kidding? 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:32.360 HR? 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:32.799 Yeah? 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:33.840 Do they exist here? 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:34.200 I don't? 0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:36.120 Yeah, who is she? Yes? 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:36.280 She? 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:38.480 But also that's what we do, is we make fun 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:40.760 of ourselves. And I was like, Mom, you are literally 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:43.919 like the lead HR person for the United States Postal Service, 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:47.240 which is a federal agency kind of at the moment, 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:51.200 I don't think the same rules apply. Also, you literally 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:53.000 didn't listen to me at all until I moved here, 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:55.600 So now I don't want this feedback. Yes, sorry, I 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:58.760 appreciate that you're listening. Now I would like you to stop. 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:01.320 That's hilarious, Oh yeah, and meanwile my dad's like, I 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:02.040 don't know what you're saying. 0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:04.880 Half the time, he knows what you're saying. No, I 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:05.480 don't think he does. 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:07.119 He can't hear anything, and he won't put his hearing 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:09.560 aids on. Okay, I think I have told you is 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:13.160 He asked me one time what butt hurt meant. I 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:15.000 don't vaguely remember. 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:15.200 Maybe not. 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:17.840 He said, I need to explain to me what is 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.440 butt hurt? And I was like, oh, it's you know, 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:23.480 like when somebody really hurts your feelings. And he said, ah, 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:25.400 so like emotional sodomy. 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:30.359 So you did not especially, that is a very good 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:31.040 way to put it. 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:34.840 It's funny, he's insane. I love people think it's a joke. 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:38.040 It is not a joke anyway. I digress. Oh, oh, 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:38.960 do you know what I found out? 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:39.680 He did? What? 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:41.000 So? 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:44.480 Somehow, some way? And I know it's because he's doing 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:47.240 some shady things on his phone, not anything pervy, but 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:50.120 I know he's on like dark web political websites doing 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:50.720 crazy stuff. 0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:51.000 Okay. 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:55.400 Oh, he somehow got a FaceTime call from somebody he 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:58.640 didn't know, so he answered it one strike one, why 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:01.080 would you ever do that? But he said it was 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:04.320 two people and they were speaking Spanish, and then they 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:06.280 said something to him with his last name in it, 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:07.800 so obviously they knew who he was. 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:08.160 What is this. 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:10.280 What is this? I said, Dad, just hang up the phone. 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:11.920 He called me right after it happened. Should I call 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:13.760 him back? I said, absolutely not, hang up the phone, 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:15.920 block the number. Just don't don't respond to this kind 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:19.400 of stuff. Asked me what he did? Oh god, he 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:22.800 called T Mobile to report it. I said, who did 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:27.360 you talk to? What what he called someone to? I said, 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:29.719 you called people?

I said, Oh no, Dad, those 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:37.800 people with T Mobile hate you. He said no they don't. 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:41.719 They said, thank you so much, sir, we appreciate it. 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:44.400 I said, okay, you do your due, diligent citizen.

He doesn't call me because he knows 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:24.120 that I'm gonna be. 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:25.839 Like, are you kidding? Goodbye? 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.280 You entertained?

Diamond, as 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:39.440 somebody who watches all of the shows, did you like 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:41.680 her more before or after? 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:43.440 Or did it not make any difference? 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:45.400 It didn't make a difference.

I 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:52.880 don't know if that's the like on my epitath or 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:56.280 you know, my you know, but that's part of me. 0:08:57.040 --> 0:09:00.559 You know. I'm a mom, a wife, I a co 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:03.040 founder of Real Cocoa, a coconut water company that I'm 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:06.920 very proud of, and now co host of Humble Brag, 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:09.160 which I actually wish is gonna be like my top 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:10.640 tier one because I love it so much. 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:12.440 And Humble Bragg is the podcast that you're doing with 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:15.000 Cynthia Bailey ye correct. Yeah, okay, so I want to 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:16.960 get all the details on that. But before we actually 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:20.040 started recording, you said something that was pretty cool, and 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:23.079 that was that you grew up really watching the Housewives 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.679 and never thought you were going to be one. How 0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:26.679 did this all come about? 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:30.319 Yeah, so I grew up. I grew up in LA 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:32.960 but I went to college Orange County where it started, 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.640 and I just remember just watching these women were so 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:40.160 insane and like I didn't really relate to any of them. 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:42.400 I mean, I'm like a Chinese kid, you know, pre 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:45.120 med and they're like this wild white women, you know, 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:49.360 going crazy and white women. I would watch that show. 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:54.559 We can do it, we can produce together. And so 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:56.960 it's like I remember getting the call. I got the 0:09:57.000 --> 0:10:00.000 call end of March twenty twenty, so I always remember 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:03.480 because Lockdown started a week prior. So I was just 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:05.840 like sitting in my couch in the dark. I didn't 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:07.720 turn the lights on because I was like, oh, we 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:09.679 have to save money, electricity. I don't know what the 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:13.280 world is imploding and I'm getting this call and it 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:15.920 was like, are you interested in interviewing? I was like no, 0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:19.720 like no way, because and I have Olwitch watched the 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:23.360 shows and I just was like, I'm not that person. 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:29.080 But through a lot of convincing and conversation I ended 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:32.920 up saying yes six months later and yeah, it was 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:37.000 a crazy experience, and yeah, you never think I mean, 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:39.360 I guess there's someone out there who like always thought 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:41.960 about it, probably lobbied for it. Probably, Yeah, I think 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:45.360 that exists a lot. My world wasn't like that. I 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:50.080 knew Teddy Mellencamp through like Mommy Me Group. So whenever 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:51.920 you're on the season, they ask you to sort of 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:54.400 like give a list of friends that you would think 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:56.640 that or that people that you know in your world 0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:58.880 that might be interested. So she put my name down 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:01.600 and she called me. It was like, I think you 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:03.960 should really interview. I think that like they want you 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:06.040 on the show, and like, well, I don't like you 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:08.000 just when you don't think about it. It's not something 0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:11.000 you lean into right away. It takes a lot of 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:15.080 convincing and yeah, you got you gotta get through it. 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:18.000 So I think it would be very intimidating and probably terrifying. 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:21.320 Well, I didn't really consider the editing. I just watched 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:24.040 it like an audience member, you know. So now I 0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:26.400 know how the sausage is made. But like I didn't 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:28.960 really watch it, Like I wasn't a diehard like that. 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:31.560 I love them, but I didn't really think of it 0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:34.440 like that. I just thought that's how they acted, so 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:36.559 like I don't act like that, you know, And then 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:39.880 you realize, like when you're in it, they draw it 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:42.679 out of you. And of course there's editing, but in 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:45.160 alcohol sometimes and alcohol, but like, you know, I don't 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:48.160 know that for I would say for Beverly Hills, that 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:51.200 wasn't a massive part of it, like and it wasn't 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:53.360 like negative. We would the girls don't drink like that, 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:55.439 and it seemed really scary. 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:58.840 So Andrew has a question about the process before you 0:11:58.880 --> 0:11:59.480 go on the show. 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:02.400 Okay, is there psych testing before? Like do you have 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:04.520 to get an evaluation? Make sure you're like. 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:07.680 Yeah, Pad, yeah, I think that's standard for any show 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:10.640 that you join, whether it's reality or scripted. 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:13.719 You're telling me all these reality stars have past psych evaluations. 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:17.079 It's like a thirty minute phone call, so that's why. 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:20.400 But yeah, they do that, but you don't really call 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:22.440 them when you're stressed because you're always stressed out, so 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:24.319 you call your friends. You don't really call this psych 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:25.959 lady on the other end of the phone. 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:28.360 So there's like a doctor on staff that you're if like, oh, 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:30.480 you're feeling stressed, called this person type of deal. 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:33.000 She just was like, I'm around if you need So, 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:34.280 how did it change your life? 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:36.160 Because you didn't really think about doing something like this, 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:38.720 then you get a call and now you're three seasons in. 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:42.040 Yeah, I totally changed my life. I'd be lying if 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:47.040 I said it didn't it. Also, it's really intense when 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:50.080 it's happening, when you're filming, when it's airing, so like 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:53.040 now that I'm off of it, it's like I every 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:54.880 day goes by, I'm like, oh, yeah, that happened. 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:55.120 You know. 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:59.000 It's like the chapter kits farther and farther. But it's 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:01.680 a mix. There's highs and lows about it. You know. 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:04.440 Obviously the highs are like you get a lot of fun, 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:07.160 you know, do a lot of fun things, more things. 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:09.360 I mean, I've been married to Rob for so long, 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:12.280 so in the business I've gotten to go to a 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:15.240 lot of amazing parties and whatever. But then when it's 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:18.520 like now my invitation, that's kind of fun too, Like 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:21.040 it's a totally different world. So Rob gets to join 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:22.720 me and he's like, oh, this is so fun. 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:25.240 You know when you say, Rob, we're talking about your husband. 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:27.439 Husband brought Minkoff, you want to talk about the Lion 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:29.080 King connection, because I was like, oh my god. 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:32.600 So yeah, as my husband is Rob Minkoff, he directed 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:35.200 the original Lion King. No big deal, no big deal. 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:41.959 And he's a giant child. He has like not age, 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:44.040 she will not age. He just has just like stuck 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:46.600 as like a twelve year old boy. We all are 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:49.240 no offense gentlemen in the room. It's a good thing. 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:52.160 And then both give thumbs up. Yeah exactly. It's amazing 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:55.600 when you have kids because he's just like the ultimate dad. 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.400 So it's so much fun. But yeah, so it's just 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:01.240 it's a lot of fun. The negatives social media of course, 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:04.400 and then people sort of you know, the audience and 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:07.480 it's not their fault, like they only see what they see, 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:11.000 so their judgment and reaction is solely based on that, 0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:15.320 and it's very intense. And I think when I started, 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:17.000 it sounded like, you know, I have all the producers 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:19.720 and the cast sort of like sharing like their experiences 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:22.680 in the years past. I think because it was you know, 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:25.680 during COVID and everyone was really watching a lot of 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:29.880 TV and stuff and on social media, it just ramped. 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:32.280 Up't have anything to do, so that's plenty of time 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:32.600 to talk. 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:35.600 That's right, It's right. So you know that part is 0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:38.760 tough because you know, you expose yourself in a way 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:41.920 that and I also I am exposed to a whole 0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:45.600 new community out there, a very broad community. I am 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:51.080 like a West Coast La Chinese girl. And then I'm like, 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:53.920 now you know, race and all those things are being 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:55.680 talked about. It was like I just wasn't used to that. 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:57.840 And then here come the Jerseys fans. Yeah, are a 0:14:57.960 --> 0:14:59.000 wild pack of people. 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:02.000 Yes, it's all different, but it was. It was amazing. 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:03.600 It was an amazing experience. 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:07.160 How did it impact your relationship with your friends and 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:07.720 your family? 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:09.680 Oh god, well that was up and down. You know 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:13.800 my fourteen Friends saga, which never got ever kind of 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:15.360 deal dealt with on the show. 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:17.160 You want to talk about the fourteen friend saga for 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:18.480 the people who don't know what that is? 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:22.880 Yeah, okay, happy too. So when I started the show, 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:25.840 I had a group of friends that were not supportive, 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:30.080 and they essentially dropped me fourteen of them I made up. 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:33.320 I sort of said the number fourteen to Lisa Renna, 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:35.600 and it was like an arbitrary number because I was 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:38.160 sort of explaining it that it felt so big, like 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:40.480 I have like fourteen friends that won't talk to me now. 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:42.280 So it was kind of a made up number, but 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:46.920 it wasn't one, you know, And it never went farther 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:49.840 than that on the show because it was about the show. Sure, 0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:51.840 so it's breaking the fourth wall. So it was kind 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:55.440 of like touched on and mysterious, like why did Crystal 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:57.800 lose friends? It was about the show, so we just 0:15:57.840 --> 0:15:59.360 sort of no one talked about it because they knew 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:02.120 it was about the show. And then you the other 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:04.440 side of it is like you have the most incredible 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:07.120 like your best friends really show up and show out 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:10.000 for you. They filmed with me. I'm doing Watch It 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:12.880 Happens Live tonight. They're like they're in town to come 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:15.600 with me. They did Taco Tuesday. You'll see that crew, 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:19.000 and like, you know, and they really are super supportive 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:21.080 every time, like I have to go in it's my turn. 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:22.840 I feel like it's my turn tonight. I have to 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:25.720 like you know, argue with someone. They like root me on, 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:29.960 like you can do it. So, yeah, it's the whole gamut, 0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:33.840 the whole gamut, and my family super supportive. You have 0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:36.360 to have very important Yes, you have to in this experience. 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:39.280 Like if they're not into it, they don't really like 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:42.080 want to be on the show, but they're like, this 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:44.040 is your choice, Like we're all in. 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:46.760 So the fourteen friends, Yeah, have you talked to any 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:50.080 of them since some Do you want them back in 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:51.480 your life?
