1 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: I can hardly curb my enthusiasm for my next guest. 2 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,120 Speaker 1: Cheryl Hines, famously known as the wife of Larry David 3 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,640 Speaker 1: on the hit show Curb, brings her hysterical and unscripted 4 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,920 Speaker 1: personality to the pod to discuss her personal life, career, 5 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,319 Speaker 1: and philanthropy, which includes being married to a Kennedy. This 6 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 1: is just me with Chryl Hynes. Hi. How are you. 7 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: I'm good? How are you? I'm great? We met years 8 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 1: ago at Sundance because of the waitress. Am I wrong? No, 9 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: You're right. And I wasn't sure that you would remember that. 10 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: But it's funny because I remember meeting you and I 11 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: and I can't remember much. I don't have a great memory, 12 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: but I remember meeting you. I was sitting with Timothy 13 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: Hutton and we were like in one of the lounge 14 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: areas that they set up and and you. I just 15 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: remember that you were working. You were like working, and 16 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: I I remember thinking, wow, you are a ah. You 17 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: were so driven even then. And I looked around and 18 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 1: everybody else's like, we're all lounging, we're talking about films, 19 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: and I think you were you working with a chef 20 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 1: for a well, that's funny because I'm reminded of this 21 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 1: right now. So I was at Sundance, I guess, just 22 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: because I was at Park City. I don't think I 23 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: was at Sundance per se. I don't remember, Like I 24 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,199 Speaker 1: had no reason I would be there, and I met 25 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: I went one night, someone took me to this thing 26 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: called Chef Dance, where you sat in these booths and 27 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: each night a different chef came and did this whole meal. 28 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: And I had gone to culinary school and wanted to 29 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: be a chef so badly, or a TV chef or 30 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: some version of a chef. And so I finagled the 31 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: guy Ken and his wife Mimi, who ran this thing, 32 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,559 Speaker 1: which was like a little thing, to let me host 33 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 1: it the next year by like calling restaurants all over 34 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: the country and getting them to do it and getting 35 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: paid nothing, just to be able to like be in 36 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: that room and connect with people like you. I mean, 37 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: everybody came. Kardashian came through there. Everybody came through there, 38 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: not even really understanding what it was, like, Wait, why 39 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: are we here? Why is there a free five course 40 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 1: meal from this amazing chef? And we built it up 41 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,119 Speaker 1: to be pretty big, but it wasn't something I ever 42 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: made money off of. It just was something I was like, 43 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,839 Speaker 1: you know, they were using me what passionate about? I 44 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: was passionate about. So many times I do things and 45 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: I just keep moving forward. I don't even know what 46 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: I'm even doing, but that was one of them. I 47 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: just loved it. I love the concept, and the food 48 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: was great, and it got me to like connect the 49 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: chefs that I looked up to on television and in 50 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 1: restaurants and so that's where you were. But I forgot 51 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 1: about that moment in my life, and um, it was 52 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: very important to me, and it was I just found 53 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: a way to get myself to be able to go 54 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: to sundance and snowboard a little and and eat amazing 55 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: food and meet interesting people. So well, it's funny because 56 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 1: that's my memory of it. I don't even I can't 57 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: tell you what what I did. I can't tell you 58 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 1: what you were. I don't remember anyway what you were 59 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: talking about or what it was. But I was like, oh, yeah, Bethany, 60 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: I'm I want to be a part of this because 61 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: I I like you and I felt connected to you, 62 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: and I felt like, Okay, I'm on board with whatever 63 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: you're doing, let's let me see what you what's going on. 64 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: So that was my introduction to you. And it's been 65 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: really fun to watch you, you know, from Afar through 66 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: the years, like man, you're a freaking mover and shaker 67 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: and it's inspirational and it's really fun to watch well 68 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: likewise and um, you never know how someone perceives you 69 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: in that way from Afar, like you know, cousins in 70 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: this weird entertainment in the street, but I've only seen 71 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: each other once. But so for me with you, you 72 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: are an actress who was in that movie the Waitress. 73 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: You're married, You were in your on Curb your enthusiasm 74 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: and funny, but did not not would never thought about 75 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 1: whether you were a comedian first because the waitress was 76 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: like a different type of role and so didn't think 77 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: about your career. Just know that you're a person that 78 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 1: I know of, that I've watched Curb your in that 79 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 1: enthusiasm for years, and that you have your funny, um 80 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: and talented and married to a Kennedy. So that, you know, 81 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: is another little little thing that shiny that jumps off 82 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: the page. But not until I went through all this 83 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: press and bios about you did I know anything? So 84 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: I took classes at the Groundlings and and you went 85 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: to the Groundlings, did you make it through the ranks 86 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: as because I never did, like where I was up 87 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 1: on stage actually performing. Were you a groundling? I was 88 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: a groundling. I was a groundling. And you're right, it's 89 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: a you know, it's a little theater in l A 90 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,359 Speaker 1: that does improv and sketch comedy and and you have 91 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: to go through a whole school and then you have 92 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: to be invited to be a cast member. So it 93 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 1: was a big deal for me, and it was it 94 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: was great training. I mean, did you have a good 95 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 1: experience there or so? Yeah, So it's funny that you 96 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: say that. A couple of places I went in my life. 97 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 1: I went to school to the school um the Meisner 98 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 1: place in the Valley, and I found that to be 99 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: very interesting versus years ago taking method acting classes, which 100 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: I found very trapping and and and for anyone listening 101 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: the method from from my perspective is like you have 102 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: to really go back and feel the feeling that like 103 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: when your leg broke at twelve and and I was 104 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 1: frustrating and it just didn't click with me. And Sam 105 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: from Meisner was like, you gotta like listen to the 106 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: person and and just act as you just instinctively would. 107 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 1: And that kind of spoke to me and the Groundlings. 108 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: Also in my life, I took different comedy classes and 109 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: I never loved them. I loved the Groundlings because it 110 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: felt free, just felt free. There were rules and it 111 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 1: was structured, but it felt free, and it did feel 112 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: like a big deal. And I always felt like a 113 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: sort of a failure that I didn't stay and I 114 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 1: was a little afraid to get on and do get 115 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: up to the point where those people were up there. 116 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: I took probably took it for a couple of years, 117 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,359 Speaker 1: maybe too Michael McDonald, who's a real comedian, and people 118 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: were like, really, I see them on commercials and movies now, 119 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 1: but I'm impressed by that, And people should be impressed 120 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: by that, because that was something that was was a 121 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: big deal, Like that was hard. I think, yeah, it 122 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: is hard because you have to retrain your mind, especially 123 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: probably for someone like you who seems very um gold 124 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: driven and and I I am the same way. I have. 125 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: I like to h I don't want to say control 126 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: what I can, but I do like to control what 127 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: I can um. And and when you're an actor, you're 128 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: going through school acting classes, they tell you like, it's 129 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: all about the script, it's all about the words, what's 130 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: your intention and all of that like you're talking about. 131 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: And then when you get to the groundlings, they say, oh, 132 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: you have to let all of that go. You have 133 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: to let everything go. And for me it was hard 134 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: because it was like, what do you mean that let 135 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: it all go? I've spent years. Oh well, well, you're like, 136 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: that's different perspective coming in. Yeah, that is definitely interesting. 137 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: And you you were there, you're you seem similar to 138 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: my age. You were there when it had gotten harder 139 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: to get up, like years before anybody could move through 140 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: the ranks, was my understanding. But it had gotten more 141 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: popular and people had already gotten on Saturday Night Live, 142 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: so it was like a thing. Yeah, I mean when 143 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: you have like Will Ferrell and um, Christy Tan and 144 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: CHERRYO Terry and Lisa Coudreau was my first teacher, and 145 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: you know, you're watching these really talented people and you're 146 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: watching them um be successful and and yeah, I think 147 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: it did bring a lot of attention to the theater 148 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: and it did get more competitive because so many people 149 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: were we're doing it, and my group was like Maya 150 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: Rootolph and then um Melissa McCarthy and wow. Yeah. So 151 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: it was more into exactly like I'm saying, like it 152 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: was not a joke. Yeah, and Kristin Wig was like 153 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: right uh after me. So it was yeah, it's hard, 154 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: uh and it's a different way of thinking and and 155 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: it is freeing, you know when you when you let 156 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: go and you're like, I don't know what's going to 157 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: happen next. I can't know what's gonna happen next, but 158 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 1: it's gonna be okay, and it's a really good life lesson. 159 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: Well do you tribute that to your life, to your 160 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: other Coluyeah? You do, because I think I took something 161 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 1: from there in my life. I can't tell you what, 162 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: but I know that the world of improv is so 163 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: fascinating to me and comedy, um, and that's a liberating place. 164 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: So you took that improvisation and just like sort of 165 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 1: go with the flow into your life. Definitely, I mean, 166 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: because it's like I said, it teaches you to to 167 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: not worry about what's going to happen next, because it's 168 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:18,599 Speaker 1: not going to help to worry about what's going to 169 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,839 Speaker 1: happen next, but to trust yourself. I don't know what's 170 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: going to happen next, but I trust that myself that 171 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: I'm going to be able to handle it, to deal 172 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: with it, to react to it, you know, in a 173 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 1: graceful way, and and then it let's go of the pressure. 174 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: Like when you're on a late night talk show and 175 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: you don't know what's going to happen, but it's gonna 176 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: be fine, you know what I mean, whatever happens is 177 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 1: going to be fine.

Uh, And then 223 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: I really have to take a step back and look 224 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: at what's important to me. What's really important to me 225 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: is my pore group of friends that really know me. 226 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: So if I had a very close friend that said, 227 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,319 Speaker 1: you know, that said something to me about that, I 228 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,599 Speaker 1: would pay more attention to it than somebody who's just 229 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: coming at me on Twitter or Instagram because you know, 230 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: and I don't know how much you are, Um, I 231 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: don't know how often people come at you in a 232 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: negative way, but just being in the public, yeah, fear 233 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 1: people will there are people that don't like me, but 234 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 1: I don't know who they are. I've never met them, 235 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: and I I don'n't know why they don't like me. 236 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: But that's okay. Everybody doesn't have to like me. But 237 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: I don't know why people are hateple sometimes Yeah, no, 238 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: and Paula, listen, my fiance has worked on like mayoral 239 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: campaigns and he's pop politics ad Jason. He's from Massachusetts 240 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,439 Speaker 1: and so he's a kind of conservative type. And that's 241 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: why I asked, because I really don't know very much 242 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 1: about it. The only thing I know is the red 243 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 1: tape for relief work, because I do a lot of that. 244 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 1: So I asked just because I wonder if it's like 245 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: bled over into um entertainment, as it definitely can for 246 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 1: some people.

I always ask people on here 248 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: who have quote unquote and there's no really success. A 249 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,959 Speaker 1: successful relationship is one that I think has longevity, that works. 250 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: No one's No one's like living in fantasyland or perfection. 251 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: I don't even believe that even if you told me. 252 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 1: But maybe you are the exception because actually Susanne Summers, 253 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 1: she and her husband are together every second of every day. 254 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: They work together. They're obsessed with each other. I'm like, 255 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't want to hear it. I really don't, 256 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: because I just I'm not interested in that. I want 257 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: to pretend that that doesn't exist. So let's keep that moving. 258 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: So what are your by laws of success in marriage 259 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: or functionality in marriage? Um? Yes, So Bobby and I 260 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: have been together. We I think we've I think we've 261 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: been married for nine years, right, so we were and 262 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: we were dating a few years before that.

It was really hair. I mean 334 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 1: we learned, we learned skin and hair. This was in Florida, 335 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: so you learn about both and then um, and then 336 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 1: I got my cosmetology license. I worked in a salon, 337 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 1: and then I decided to go to college, so I 338 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: was working. I was working, um during the day as 339 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 1: as a you know, in a salon, cutting hair.

But even during college, um, you know, everybody 348 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,439 Speaker 1: was poor. I knew how to cut hair. So anytime 349 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: I go to a party, people would just line up 350 00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: for me to cut their hair.

You know. 561 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 1: It was really hard and harder, way harder than I anticipated. 562 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:36,479 Speaker 1: When she was leaving to go to school. I had 563 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 1: to go to college. I was I wasn't I wasn't ready. 564 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 1: Where did she go? She's in Dallas, did you consider 565 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 1: was California part of it? Because I'm not even kidding 566 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 1: and I know this is wrong, but we talked about 567 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 1: all the time, like where we're going to move when 568 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 1: she's exactly like where we're living, where we are going 569 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 1: to Pepperdine, living in Malibu or Santa Barbara, like it 570 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 1: has to be warm.

And she really thought that, 573 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 1: like you thought that from yeah, because I think it's real. 574 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: So it's not real. It's not real because the problem 575 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 1: is is they want their own space. When does that start? 576 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 1: When do they want their own space? Because my daughter 577 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 1: is obsessed with me, and she's twelve and more than 578 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: her friends are obsessed with their parents.

Ask it matters, But what 651 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:16,839 Speaker 1: were your rose and thorn of your career? Um? Well, gosh, 652 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 1: I mean the thorns. It's hard because you know, you 653 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:27,440 Speaker 1: get sometimes you get close to getting up for me personally, 654 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 1: but I'm sure every actor you get close to getting 655 00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:34,800 Speaker 1: a big film that you think will change your life, 656 00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,760 Speaker 1: and then you don't get it, and the film comes 657 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 1: out and that other actress did a great job, but 658 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,839 Speaker 1: it also didn't seem to change her life, you know, 659 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,120 Speaker 1: So it's a bit of a life lesson All the time. 660 00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:54,320 Speaker 1: As an actor, you put so much, you're so sure 661 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,920 Speaker 1: that if you've got this one thing, it would change 662 00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 1: your life. Um, And then in life goes on, you know, 663 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,319 Speaker 1: you mean, like anybody could say that in any job. 664 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,360 Speaker 1: And then later the puzzle pieces come together. So it 665 00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,239 Speaker 1: can't be your thorn because it was your thorn in 666 00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 1: the moment, but later it became your rose because it 667 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:14,440 Speaker 1: dedfinitely matter in Yeah, I like, I I totally understand that. 668 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,759 Speaker 1: And is your life where you want it? Like? Do 669 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,879 Speaker 1: you feel balanced and at peace? So you hate saying 670 00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:24,400 Speaker 1: to somebody you happy? Like me right now? I'm balanced 671 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,600 Speaker 1: in a piece I'm a little bored. I'm overall happy, 672 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 1: but it's like I'm settled, but I'm a little you know, 673 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,480 Speaker 1: in my life just because you need you seem like 674 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,279 Speaker 1: you need to create something, you need to put it out. 675 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,560 Speaker 1: I don't want to challenge yourself and I don't want to. 676 00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,520 Speaker 1: I think you do. I think no, I want don't. 677 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:42,600 Speaker 1: I've done a lot of work, You've done a lot. 678 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:44,120 Speaker 1: I don't want to go. I don't want to put 679 00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:45,880 Speaker 1: the makeup on. I don't want to do what So 680 00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,640 Speaker 1: I have the idea, but I don't want to do 681 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,920 Speaker 1: what it takes. It's funny because yeah, I totally know 682 00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,320 Speaker 1: what you mean. Um, I am at a place where 683 00:37:55,360 --> 00:38:02,760 Speaker 1: I'm very happy. I I feel I'm amazed at how 684 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:07,239 Speaker 1: my life has turned out and where I am and 685 00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:11,319 Speaker 1: the people that I've been able to work with.

You know, I 696 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 1: know what it takes and what what you need to do. 697 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:56,760 Speaker 1: And but with this company, I'm I'm learning something every day. 698 00:38:56,840 --> 00:39:00,840 Speaker 1: I'm working with my daughter by says Serve, my brother, 699 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,799 Speaker 1: and we're really having a good time with it. So 700 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,080 Speaker 1: the next step will be, you know, when we launch. 701 00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:10,319 Speaker 1: I don't know what that's going to look like. I 702 00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:16,960 Speaker 1: don't know. I don't I I know that there will 703 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:24,200 Speaker 1: be roses and thorns that I can't even anticipate. So 704 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:27,279 Speaker 1: you have consistency and the show that is funny and 705 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,160 Speaker 1: fun and purposeful, and you're still in the game. You're relevant, 706 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 1: you're in the action, and then you've got something that's 707 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,279 Speaker 1: a little bit of a question mark. So that gives 708 00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,600 Speaker 1: you a little bit of that jolt. Yes, exactly, and 709 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:42,400 Speaker 1: not only that, but uh, there's a part of the 710 00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:50,120 Speaker 1: starting a company that, um, you can control, you know, 711 00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:55,520 Speaker 1: I can control what the products are, what the logo is, 712 00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,239 Speaker 1: what our goal is, what we're working for, what I 713 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,719 Speaker 1: wanted to smell like what I wanted to feel like 714 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,720 Speaker 1: what I wanted to do, And that is really exciting. 715 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:08,799 Speaker 1: Where as an actor, I don't have much control over 716 00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,160 Speaker 1: what my next job is. You know, you get a 717 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 1: script and and you read it and you talk to 718 00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:20,239 Speaker 1: the director or the producer and you know, one time 719 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:23,239 Speaker 1: I didn't get a job because I looked too much 720 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:28,800 Speaker 1: like the director's ex wife. Wow. So there are things 721 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,880 Speaker 1: that you can't control as an actor. You're too old, 722 00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,799 Speaker 1: you're too young, you're too fat, you're too skinny. What 723 00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,239 Speaker 1: things that you can't control? You know what I mean? 724 00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:42,480 Speaker 1: So when there's something exciting about, something tangible that you 725 00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:45,680 Speaker 1: can see and feel and look at and hold and 726 00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:51,320 Speaker 1: um have a little control control over. Yeah, it's still creative, 727 00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:53,719 Speaker 1: but it's got a box around it that you can Yeah, 728 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,719 Speaker 1: that's so true. You Paul, my fiance, produced a movie 729 00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:58,279 Speaker 1: I forgot to tell you that I don't think was 730 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,040 Speaker 1: your greatest war nor his. But he is a real 731 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:04,560 Speaker 1: estate developer that's produced like thirteen movies and he's wonna 732 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,560 Speaker 1: a peabody Like it's it's nothing to be embarrassed about. 733 00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,040 Speaker 1: But years ago you did a movie with him, not 734 00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:12,400 Speaker 1: that he said, because I mentioned today that I was 735 00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:13,600 Speaker 1: talking to you, and he was like, I don't think 736 00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,439 Speaker 1: it was either of our finest moment. So I don't 737 00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:17,840 Speaker 1: even know what it was called. But it was in 738 00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:19,920 Speaker 1: the beginning of your career. I think. Let me look 739 00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:23,879 Speaker 1: it up. Cold Turkey. Oh okay, Cold Turkey. Okay, yes, 740 00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:27,399 Speaker 1: that film. Yeah, it wasn't your best work. I don't 741 00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,560 Speaker 1: think or his right, he just said. He was like 742 00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,799 Speaker 1: he made it like on his part, he was like, yeah, 743 00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:34,480 Speaker 1: that was in the beginning. I think was the first 744 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:35,880 Speaker 1: thing he ever did, and I don't think it's his 745 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,879 Speaker 1: best moment. You know what. I had a good time 746 00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:42,400 Speaker 1: doing it, all right, Well that's I really.
