1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:04,160 Speaker 1: Hi, everyone, it's Sophia. Welcome to this bonus episode of 2 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: Work in Progress, exclusively for our wondering plus listeners. I 3 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,640 Speaker 1: want to take a moment and thank each and every 4 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 1: one of you for supporting the show and this week 5 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: give you a little something special. I don't have to 6 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: tell you all this. I think we're all in it together. 7 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: This year has been pretty tough, and now that the 8 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: world's opening back up, I thought it might be fun 9 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,479 Speaker 1: to sit down with you for a little one on 10 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,200 Speaker 1: one time to catch up. I've mentioned in the past 11 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 1: that I really love seeing people interact with Work in 12 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: Progress online, either through their comments or shout outs on 13 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: social media. But I also love when you ask questions, 14 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 1: whether they're about me or the podcasts, are guests, or 15 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: any and all. I've had so much fun answering questions 16 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: from you before that I thought we should do it again. 17 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 1: I have some here that I'll get to in a moment, 18 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: and if you think of anything you would like to ask, 19 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,559 Speaker 1: feel free to shout out your questions on Twitter or Instagram, 20 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: or if your old school, write me a letter. Who knows, 21 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: maybe the next time I answer a listener question it'll 22 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: be one of yours. So today we've got some questions 23 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,479 Speaker 1: from people with a wide spectrum of curiosities. They go 24 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: from what I do in my day to day to 25 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: my experience with work in progress. So I'm just going 26 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 1: to dive right in, and since I'm in control of 27 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: the order, We're going to start with the easiest ones. UM. 28 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: A couple of you actually on our Instagram Q and 29 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: I asked me what my favorite color is. That is 30 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: such a toss up for me. I love orange, like 31 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: love it, I think because of sunrise and sunset, but 32 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: I'm also a huge fan of that sort of mustard 33 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: shade of a nineteen seventies yellow. I know these are 34 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: no one's favorite colors, but they're mine. Um. I also 35 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: had a couple of you guys asked me if I 36 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 1: have any tattoos, and the answer is yes, I actually 37 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: have seven, but most people have only seen one because 38 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: my first six tattoos I got in white ink so 39 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 1: that they could really just belong to me, and my 40 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: seventh is actually in black so it's quite obvious. It's 41 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: also on my left forearm. It is the pulsar compass 42 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: from a Golden record. It's um a piece of what 43 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: we sent up in the nineteen seventy two voyage Er spacecraft, 44 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: when NASA finally had the technology to go and photograph 45 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: the outer planets. It's also the era when Carl Sagan 46 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: was working with NASA and wrote that incredible poem A 47 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: Pale Blue Dot, which makes me sob every single time 48 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: I read it and reminds me of how much I 49 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: love this place and love humanity. So I have that 50 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,239 Speaker 1: on my left arm and I look at it every 51 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 1: day and I just think about the universe. Casual. Um, 52 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: when was I most star struck over a celebrity? Okay, 53 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 1: a couple of you guys also asked me versions of 54 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: this question. I think because some of you know me 55 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: well enough to know that I'm a deeply starstruck person 56 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: and I feel attacked, slash known. I don't have any 57 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: chill with people that I'm a huge fan of. And 58 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,119 Speaker 1: one of my best friends Jenny Smart and you've all 59 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: heard on this podcast, we did our season one holiday 60 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: episode with my my two best friends and former roommates. Um, 61 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: oh my god, she makes fun of me all the time. 62 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: And it's like, Sophia, you are famous. You have to 63 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: calm down. You cannot behave this way, but I'm like, 64 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: I'm not famous. Jennifer Aniston is like famous, and I 65 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: don't know how to talk to people like her because 66 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: I don't know if as an actor, I'm supposed to 67 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: just be super calm and act like it's no big deal. 68 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: We all do this job, or if I'm allowed to 69 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: admit that I've seen, you know, every episode of Friends, 70 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: in every movie she's ever made. It's like two. I 71 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: just I don't know understand how to do it. So 72 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: I have a lot of sympathy for people who are 73 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: big One Tree Hill fans or Chicago beat vans, or 74 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: who you know loved movies I've worked on, because when 75 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: they kind of lose it, I'm like, I totally get it. 76 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 1: I feel you don't worry. I have the same reaction. 77 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 1: Um yeah, oh man, I'm really working on this, but 78 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: it's hard for me. This is a good one. If 79 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: you could only recommend one book, what would it be 80 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: and why? I think that that changes in this present moment. 81 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: I think that the most important book any of us 82 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: could be reading is Cast by Isabelle Wilkerson. It's such 83 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: a profound study on the way that systems of class 84 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: and race and economy have really oppressed people in America, 85 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: and I think it's incredibly a illuminating when we talk 86 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: about how to build a more just society, when we 87 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: talk about designing a better future for all people, we 88 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: have to understand how things work and how systems are 89 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: failing us so that we can change them. So, while 90 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 1: I'm sure that sounds like a rather heavy recommendation, I 91 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: actually think that it leaves you in a place where 92 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: you will feel unbelievably motivated and hopeful. So that would 93 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: be my recommendation. Now. Oh, this is another question that 94 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 1: I know it comes from a true fan because you're 95 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 1: asking what are my favorite national parks? Oh my goodness, 96 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: I feel like that's like asking a parent to pick 97 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: their favorite child, Like they're all unique and special and 98 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: I love them and how could I dare? But I 99 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: think some of my favorite memories in national parks, who 100 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: would probably tie between being in yellow Stone or being 101 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: uh in Denali in Alaska. I just that mountain, My god, 102 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 1: it is so incredible, and the Alaskan wilderness is just 103 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: so pure and expansive and beautiful, and it's the kind 104 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: of place now that I've visited different parts of Alaska twice, 105 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 1: once in the summer and once in the literal dead 106 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: of winter. I've never been colder or happier, to be honest. 107 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 1: It's the kind of place that really, for me, immediately 108 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: resets my energy and reminds me of what's most important. 109 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: You know, we've got one planet. We have to take 110 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: care of it. And to see nature that is that wild, 111 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,359 Speaker 1: exists in this incredible harmony where everything works together and 112 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: nothing is wasted, and and I don't know, there's like 113 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 1: a hum to it. It's so beautiful. So as I'm 114 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: saying all of this, I realize maybe maybe that eats 115 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: out just over yellow Stone. But yellow Stone, I love you. 116 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 1: And where am I hoping to travel to next? Oh 117 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: my gosh, this question feels crazy because you know, we 118 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: haven't really left the house in a year, and the 119 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: idea of traveling again just feels so exciting. And I 120 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: would love to get back into any national park. I 121 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: would just love to get on a plane and go somewhere. 122 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: I'd love to go visit family in Italy. I'd love 123 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: to go back to Spain. I just want to get 124 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: out and and see some people. M Wow, this is 125 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: a good one. What keeps you motivated to post political 126 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: content even when you get hate for it. Well, the 127 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: fact that I have the privilege of a platform is 128 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: not lost on me and all. I guess I wouldn't 129 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: really dare to say, oh, everyone should do this. You know, 130 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: we all live our lives in the way we want to. 131 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: For me, personally, I can't imagine having a platform like 132 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: the one that I do. I can't imagine existing in 133 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: a space where I can speak to so many people 134 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: every day and not do it for the greater good 135 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: and for people out or who might say, well, you 136 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: can talk about causes without being political. Everything is political. 137 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: Every system that we live in exists because of a 138 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: political decision. Every way that our world functions exists because 139 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: someone won an election and somebody didn't. And I think 140 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: it's really important that we not be divided or separated 141 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: or or even dissociated from our politics. I think we 142 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: need to understand that if they're functioning well, they can 143 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: help everyone, and when they're not, it's our job to, 144 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: you know, hold the figurative feet to the fire and 145 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: change things. And for me, yeah, the hate sucks and 146 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: the threats suck, but advocating for other people and making 147 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: sure we're doing better at telling the truth is a 148 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: literal purpose for me. So it's like breathing air. I 149 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 1: couldn't live without it. And so I don't know if 150 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: it's about motivation. I I really think for me, it's 151 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: about passion and it's about purpose. And you know, I'm 152 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: learning to navigate how I also take care of myself 153 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: and my mental health. And I'm learning to figure out 154 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: how to call out online abuse without motivating the abusers. 155 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: I'm I'm trying to figure out how to do this 156 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,559 Speaker 1: in a way that is healthy for me. But I 157 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: don't think I'll ever stop because I can't imagine leaving 158 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: people behind like that. So yeah, that's um, that's why. 159 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: Oh and this is hard? What have you learned on 160 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: work in progress? Everything? The podcast is such an incredible 161 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,079 Speaker 1: space for me because it's a place where we get 162 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: to ask questions of each other and and learn from 163 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: each other. And I think so much of the Internet 164 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: exists because people share opinions. And now there's this expectation 165 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: that if you're sharing anything online, it's a fully formed 166 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: that you've made a decision about something. And and I 167 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: think we're missing some nuance. I think we're missing the 168 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: permission to admit that we don't know everything yet. And 169 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: for me being able to sit in this space and 170 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: talk with all of you and interview the guests who 171 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: come here and ask questions about how people got to 172 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 1: where they are, how they learned lessons, how how they're 173 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:31,679 Speaker 1: learning lessons. I think I'm learning every single day, and 174 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: so for me, the podcast is truly a place of learning. 175 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, an upcoming project that I'm excited about. 176 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: There are so many, it's so interesting. You know, this 177 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: year was really kind of insulated, working from home and 178 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: doing all these things. And all of a sudden, as 179 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: as the world seems like it's beginning to come back, 180 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: you know now that we all have the privilege of 181 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: being on this vaccine journey and and protecting public health, 182 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: and you know, still I hope clapping for our health 183 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: care workers because they deserve it. Um Suddenly it feels 184 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 1: like for me personally, all of these things are coming 185 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: to fruition. This phenomenal movie called False Positive that I 186 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: worked on with a lot of Glazer and her writing 187 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 1: partner John Lee. John also directed the movie and they 188 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: both produced it. That's coming out June on Hulu. It 189 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: is a psychological horror. It is so dark and twisty 190 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: and scary and um and really for us, was kind 191 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: of a an expression, a metaphor for these threats against 192 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 1: a woman's agency over her body and that larger thematic 193 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: conversation about you know again, political control, misogyny, internalized misogyny. 194 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: My god, my character, and this movie is dealing with that. 195 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: Was set to the backdrop of one of my favorite genres, 196 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 1: a psycho logical thriller or something that that makes you 197 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 1: ask questions and when you hear a bump in the 198 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: night but you don't know where it's coming from kind 199 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: of a vibe, that's the kind of scary movie I love. 200 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: So I'm really excited about that, and it was just 201 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,199 Speaker 1: such a joy. We made the movie in April and 202 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: May of nineteen and you know, we didn't know it 203 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: was coming at the end of the year. We were 204 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: working in New York. We made the film with a 205 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: twenty four, which just I think makes some of the 206 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: best kind of content out there. And it was a hustle. 207 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 1: You know, it was a quick shoot. It was like 208 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:37,079 Speaker 1: a really small, little independent budget and everybody just showed 209 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 1: up with their a game. Alana crushed it, and Pierce 210 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: Browsning is so amazing. Justin Thurreaux is amazing. Um, it 211 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: was just it was a trip working on this thing 212 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 1: for sure, so that I'm really jazzed about. And likewise, 213 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: good Sam, My new show is coming out on CBS. 214 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 1: I can't believe it after all this time. You know. 215 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: The conversations about that started over summer of twenty nineteen 216 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: when I had my first dinner with Katie Wesh, who 217 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: wrote the show, who is a legend. She is so 218 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 1: smart and so funny and just such a good human. Um. 219 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: Katie and Jenny Erman who is our executive producer, and 220 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: Joanna Klein another of our executive producers. All you know 221 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: Ran Jane the Virgin, and I think they just have 222 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 1: such a great um lens for you know, real on 223 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 1: screen empathy and moments of comedy and and god, they 224 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 1: they just did such a good job putting this show together. 225 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: And in in January was when we began all these 226 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: conversations with CBS. And then in February, I'll never forget it, 227 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 1: I flew to New York to do an event to 228 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: talk about the e r A finally getting the equal 229 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 1: Rights Amendment ratified and it's thirty eight state in Virginia. 230 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 1: After decades of work trying to get, uh, there to 231 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: be any legal requirement for women to be paid the 232 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: same people in this country. I think that's the law. 233 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: It's actually still not. We're we're close, uh separate conversation. 234 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: But I flew to New York to do this event 235 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: to celebrate it being signed into law in the thirty 236 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: eight state, which would then mean it could be ratified 237 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: into the Constitution. And uh, we thought everything was pretty normal. 238 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: We knew something was going on um and that everyone 239 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: should probably be using extra amounts of hand sanitizer. That's 240 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: kind of where we were in the beginning of February 241 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: in New York. Oh my god, it blows my mind. 242 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: And we were celebrating this, you know, monumental step towards 243 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: equity for women. And the next day I flew up 244 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: to Toronto to start working on Good Sam and we 245 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: were in prep meaning you know, table reads and fittings 246 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: and getting the whole cast up there there and casting 247 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: the last couple of parts, and and then suddenly within 248 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: a week we were shut down. COVID was everywhere. We 249 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: all had to leave Canada and come home and then 250 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: we just had to wait. Um, I guess it was 251 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: longer than a week. It was a couple of weeks 252 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: because I came home in March. So yeah, we did 253 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: probably two weeks of prep and then suddenly we were 254 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: just back and sitting here. And it was a long year, 255 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: you know, wondering what was going to happen, and other 256 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: shows that were meant to shoot pilots were scrapped, and 257 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: of course we were all so nervous, you know, what 258 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: does that mean for us? And what we get to 259 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: make this show? And we really believe in it. And 260 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: I really have to thank our partners at CBS and 261 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: and everyone really who put their heart and soul into 262 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: this project, because everyone agreed that this was special and 263 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: that we were going to do it whenever safety would allow. 264 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: And that turned out to be the end of January, 265 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: and we flew back up to Canada. We all quarantined 266 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: in full isolation for two weeks um as their health 267 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 1: protocols require, and in February we emerged and we prepped 268 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: and rehearsed and got ready and then we shot our 269 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: show and came home in March and started, you know, 270 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: the big process of editing and scoring, you know, meaning 271 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: getting a soundtrack and music written and all of these things. 272 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: And here we are, you know, just a couple of 273 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: weeks ago, in mid May, it was announced were picked 274 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: up and we're going to be on the air I 275 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: think this January, and so we'll start filming early October. 276 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: And we're just so excited.

That is Oh. 286 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,680 Speaker 1: I think I would describe Deborah as the big chill 287 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:26,360 Speaker 1: meets an episode of Black Mirror. It is so unsettling 288 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 1: and also cozy, which are weird words to put together. 289 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 1: But you know, when you when you have that get 290 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 1: together with all your best best friends that you haven't 291 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: seen in a long time and then something just goes 292 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: a little sideways. Uh. I think it's an incredible space 293 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 1: to be exploring, and it it really deals with all 294 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,719 Speaker 1: these things that I think humans are often too nervous 295 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 1: to talk about, but we get forced to as a 296 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: group in this film. Um. And that was another one 297 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 1: that really had to change. We were slated to do 298 00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: that in summer of We were going to be at 299 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 1: this uh Lake house and upstate New York for three weeks.

So fun fact, 332 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: I have always wanted to learn to play the piano, 333 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,360 Speaker 1: and I've been talking about it for a really long 334 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:01,959 Speaker 1: time and I'm learning much like the piano and my bees, 335 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: who showed up because I talked about wanting bees for 336 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: so long that they just came and built a hive 337 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 1: in my backyard before I was even ready for them. 338 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,679 Speaker 1: If I say something out loud enough times, apparently the 339 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 1: universe and I are really in good communication this year, 340 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: because it shows up and here came a show that 341 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 1: required me to actually start taking piano lessons. Um, so 342 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 1: I did. I started taking lessons and learned how to 343 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: do a bunch of scales and and all sorts of 344 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: things that would really make it look like I was 345 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:36,119 Speaker 1: proficient at the piano. And then the really incredible overhead 346 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 1: shots um where you can see my hands playing this 347 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,399 Speaker 1: song We're actually done by a concert pianist, because I 348 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: did not feel at all capable enough to do that. 349 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 1: But the fun part is is that now for this job, 350 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: I will continue um taking these lessons and hopefully not 351 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 1: only learned the skill of tying one handed surgical notes, 352 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: which I also did for good Sam, but hopefully I'll 353 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 1: walk away being able to play the piano and you 354 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 1: know I have learned to new skills. Oh uh, what 355 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: is one piece of advice someone gave you that you 356 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: will never forget oof. I think it's more in in 357 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 1: terms of the kind of theme of m Actually, that's funny. 358 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, and I don't remember who said this, 359 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: but it's it's a it's a piece of advice that 360 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 1: gets shared a lot. That that quote that says, you know, 361 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: be yourself because everyone else has already taken I think 362 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 1: is so great because so many of us are trying 363 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: to emulate what we think successes or a great career is, 364 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:50,360 Speaker 1: or the perfect family or whatever. And perfection is such 365 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 1: a lie because it doesn't exist. So if you if 366 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,679 Speaker 1: you have that sort of bug of perfectionism in your ear, 367 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: you'll actually always feel like a failure. So I think 368 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: that reminding ourselves that we should just be the best 369 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:07,120 Speaker 1: versions of us is really important. And the other thing 370 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:11,440 Speaker 1: that I thought was so profound, uh, And this, this 371 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: piece of advice was given to me because me and 372 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,160 Speaker 1: some friends were talking about our sort of shared struggles 373 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: with anxiety, and a friend who's deeply wise essentially said, 374 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 1: and I'm paraphrasing, but he gave us this great piece 375 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,879 Speaker 1: of advice. And then the thing that I began writing 376 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: down as my lesson was don't suffer something twice. And 377 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: what I mean by that is, if you are a 378 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: person who tends to get anxious and is nervous about 379 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: the future and worries about an outcome, and uh says, well, 380 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:50,679 Speaker 1: am I going to get that job? Is that going 381 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,400 Speaker 1: to work out for me? What you're doing is you're 382 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,399 Speaker 1: kind of preemptively suffering the loss of it. So then 383 00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 1: if you get the job or the thing works out, 384 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,719 Speaker 1: You've put yourself through all this anxiety and stress, You've 385 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,479 Speaker 1: raised your cortisol levels, You've probably had a really terrible 386 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 1: couple of weeks of sleep for nothing, And if the 387 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: unfortunate thing happens and you don't get the job or 388 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: the thing that you really care about doesn't work out, 389 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: then you actually are heartbroken and you go through the 390 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: full response of it not working. But you've already been 391 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,199 Speaker 1: stressing about it, You've already been suffering the loss, so 392 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: then you suffer it twice. And there was just something 393 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: about that that felt like another Aha moment to me, 394 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: realizing that the kind of distillation of this advice was 395 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 1: don't suffer something twice, because I realized I do that 396 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 1: a lot. I'm I'm nervous a lot, and I I 397 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 1: think I don't want to get overly excited about something 398 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: unless I'm sure it's going to happen. But all that 399 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 1: that does is decrease my joy. Nobody else is suffering 400 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:59,199 Speaker 1: while I'm having an internal panic attack, and why do 401 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: that to myself anymore? And so those two things feel important. 402 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: Be yourself because everybody else has already taken. And really 403 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: on that, on that sort of end of the spectrum 404 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: where we're all trying to be nicer to ourselves, don't 405 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,680 Speaker 1: put yourself through suffering something twice. I think those feel 406 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 1: those feel good, those feel worth not forgetting in my 407 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 1: estimation anyway. And I'm laughing because now I'm just looking 408 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: at all the versions of this and I make I mean, 409 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: we all make fun of people who are like so 410 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 1: many of you guys have been asking me about my 411 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: skincare routine, but like genuinely, so many of you are 412 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: asking me about my skincare routine. And I think what 413 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: must be happening right now is that I just haven't 414 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:50,199 Speaker 1: been outside in a year. You know, I'm I'm a 415 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,439 Speaker 1: big proponent of sunscreen, and I think sitting in this 416 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,360 Speaker 1: little cave podcasting with all of you, um probably has 417 00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: been like the best natural sunscreen ever. Also, to be honest, 418 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 1: I just started doing a lot less. I think there's 419 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: a pretty big industry that wants to sell us all 420 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 1: a bunch of crap we don't really need out there. 421 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 1: We can all agree, right, Um, And I do love 422 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 1: I love a great skincare product. I love you know. 423 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 1: I love good quality things, um when they're available to me. 424 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: But I don't think we need forty things. I'm not 425 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,439 Speaker 1: one of those people who does a twenty step routine. 426 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 1: I just don't have the time for it. I definitely 427 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: have learned from this iconic woman, Joanna Check that massaging 428 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 1: your face is important. So whenever I put moisturizer on 429 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: at night, I try to spend like I usually count 430 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: to thirty. I don't have I don't have it in me, Joanna. 431 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: I'm so sorry to do it for a whole minute. 432 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 1: But like just rubbing my moisturizer into my face for 433 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,640 Speaker 1: at least thirty seconds I think has made a difference. 434 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:59,160 Speaker 1: You know, you stimulate your your blood flow. Um. And yeah, 435 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: I just I try to use stuff I believe in. 436 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: Tata Harper came on the podcast Her really Clean skincare 437 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 1: is beautiful. My friend and makeup artist when I'm actually 438 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: you know, working outside of the home. Amber Um, who 439 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: is a legend, got me using two things that are 440 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 1: really great. They're both ludicrously expensive, but I don't use 441 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 1: anything else anymore, so I don't know. I stopped buying 442 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: like a whole bunch of stuff and just use um 443 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,919 Speaker 1: one cream from Lamare and one cream from Augustina's Boder 444 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 1: and then some things that Tata was nice enough to 445 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,439 Speaker 1: send to me when she came on the pod. I 446 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 1: love her I cream, It's great. Also, Oh my god, 447 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: Shanny Darden, your I cream is incredible.

She knows all of things. 450 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: But what I will say is, you know, I'm also 451 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 1: a grown ass woman who can use nicer stuff now, 452 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: um that I'm at this stage in my career than 453 00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 1: I certain than I could when I was like in 454 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 1: call Ledge and you know, broke all the time. So 455 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 1: I think you've got to give yourself a break, figure 456 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,200 Speaker 1: out what works for you. Um. One of my other 457 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 1: favorite skincare lines out of l A is O C 458 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:17,639 Speaker 1: A O S E A like O C like the ocean.

You know, 463 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 1: it's an investment, but it's not like the highest end 464 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: of cost as far as skincare, and I love it 465 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:46,880 Speaker 1: and I definitely see a great kind of benefit boost 466 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,159 Speaker 1: what's the word you skin people out there, Probably no, 467 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 1: you're like Sophia, you are failing at this um.

And since we're 470 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,679 Speaker 1: talking about skincare and my love for Rosa, I should 471 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,159 Speaker 1: probably mention to you guys that now they're one of 472 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 1: the sponsors of our podcast, which pretty much feels like 473 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 1: the coolest thing for Melissa and I. She gets to 474 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 1: support my business and I get to support hers. But 475 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 1: that means we have a promo code for you guys. 476 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 1: You'll get ten percent off your first order with the 477 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 1: code w I p AT O C M Malibu dot 478 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,639 Speaker 1: com O s E A M A l I bu 479 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 1: dot Com. Code is w I p take ten percent off, 480 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,399 Speaker 1: so that's kind of it. I try to keep it clean. 481 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 1: I'm always game to try something, and I will say 482 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: I feel pretty lucky, um doing my job because sometimes 483 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 1: I get to try really fancy things that I would 484 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 1: never just like experiment with for myself. When I was 485 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: working on Good Sam Up in Canada, the makeup artist 486 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: on that show kept giving me all these different kinds 487 00:28:55,720 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 1: of really fancy um Korean paper masks, and I was like, 488 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,479 Speaker 1: where did you even get these? It was like this 489 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 1: mystery of of skincare that she opened for me, and 490 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 1: that was so fun. Um. So hopefully when we go 491 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 1: back there, I can use more of those. But I 492 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: think the things that really make the biggest difference honestly, 493 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 1: wash your face every night, like every night. Some some 494 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 1: nights I want to be lazy and use a makeup 495 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 1: remover wipe, and in just thinking about sustainability, I've stopped 496 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,719 Speaker 1: doing that because I'm like, I can't just use this 497 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: thing and throw it away. This is ridiculous. Um. So 498 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: I've gotten really good at not being lazy and and 499 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 1: no matter what, washing my face before bed, and I'm 500 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 1: telling you, my skin is better and I probably only 501 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: used a makeup wipe like once or twice a week before, 502 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 1: but every single night washing my face is a game changer. 503 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 1: I splash water on my face in the morning and 504 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 1: use a toner. I don't actually wash it in the morning. 505 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 1: I don't know if that maybe makes a difference to 506 00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 1: I'm kind of realizing in this moment as I'm talking 507 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 1: to you about the is that I have more thoughts 508 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 1: on skincare than I thought I did. At first, I 509 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 1: was like, just I don't go outside, but that's actually 510 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 1: not it. I've learned. I've definitely learned some little tweaks 511 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 1: this year, you know, taking longer to rubbin some moisturizer 512 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 1: or no compromises. Made definitely fully washed my face every night, 513 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 1: and that has definitely made a difference, because y'all are 514 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: asking me this question a lot lately, even like on 515 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: Instagram lives during the election, I had to start turning 516 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: the comments off. Not that I don't adore you, I 517 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: just was like, this has nothing to do with what 518 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 1: we're talking about. But so many people were like, what's 519 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 1: going on with your skin? And I was like, I 520 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 1: don't know, actually, but thank you. So I think if 521 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 1: I really consider it. Those are probably the things that 522 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 1: you know have changed this year. Also, I'm sure that 523 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 1: being an actor and having a couple of months off 524 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 1: not having towhere makeup at all, I think definitely helped 525 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 1: my skin because you know, there's nothing clogging it up. 526 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 1: So those are my deep thoughts on that, guys, I 527 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 1: don't I don't know. Next time I work with a professional, 528 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 1: I'll ask for better tips so that I have more 529 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: specific things to share with you all. Oh the other thing, 530 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 1: sleeping with a humidifier makes a big difference, and it 531 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 1: makes a big difference for me, um I find with 532 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 1: my voice, especially when I'm working. You know, doing dialogue 533 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 1: for fourteen to sixteen hours a day can be hard 534 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:31,240 Speaker 1: on your throat. So it's really good, you know, for 535 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 1: your for your vocal cords and your breathing, and also 536 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 1: for your skin. So that's my hot tip humidifiers. I 537 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 1: have a dison it's great. That's not an ad by 538 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 1: the way, but I do just really love them. Yeah. 539 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 1: So those are our ten questions for today.
