1
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 1: Oh, September. What a beautiful, beautiful season of the year.

2
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: I love this season. I say beautiful, but it's also

3
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: kind of bumpy. September is a time of profound change,

4
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:25,600
Speaker 1: and change often means disruption. It's a month much like

5
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: its spring counterpart, March, where anything goes is the typical

6
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: weather forecast in most areas. One day it's beautiful, one

7
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,160
Speaker 1: day it's raining. Could be calm and mild, could be hot,

8
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,279
Speaker 1: and Muggie could send us rain and wind. Even if

9
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: serene summer weather does hang out a little bit longer,

10
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: September does the equivalent of flooding our emails with reminders

11
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: that fall in soon winter just around the corner. It's

12
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: those cooler mornings and cooler nights, the shorter days, the

13
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: trees that aren't quite shedding their summer coats yet but

14
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:09,919
Speaker 1: begin randomly dropping their leaves hither and thither. In yonn

15
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: that tell us would better enjoy every drop of sunshine

16
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: we can soak up. If you live in a place

17
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: that affords you the opportunity to study the behaviors of

18
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: some of the wild critters, you probably pick up right now,

19
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: and they're frenzied behaviors especially those that are collecting and

20
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: storing food for the winter. Hello, Mr squirrel, I'm talking

21
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: to you. I'm actually talking to me because I'm like

22
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: a squirrel every fall. I'm canning. I'm canning, I'm freezing.

23
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: I'm dehydrating because I'm storing up food for the winter.

24
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: Those reminders served me to jar up everything that I can.

25
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: I put away the patio furniture and make sure the

26
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: gutters are cleaned out. While I should make sure the

27
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: gutters are cleaned out, I forget that often I prepare

28
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: the garden beds for winners worst. But these days also

29
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: send me into a state of reflection, thinking of all

30
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: the beautiful things September has brought to me in the past.

31
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: September made me a mom with the birth of my

32
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: oldest child, Isaiah, and then my second born, Sheila. September

33
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: is the first bite of a ripe juicy apple in

34
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: the knowledge that change, change is what propels us forward,

35
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: even when we resisted, even when we hate it. Some

36
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: of us, really, especially at this stage in life, hate change.

37
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: No what else September brought us besides my kids finally

38
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: getting to go back to in person learning the new

39
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: movie Cinderella that opened September three in theaters and on

40
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime Video. Why does this movie excite me so

41
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: royal because one of my most favorite actresses plays the

42
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: evils stepmother Broadway sensation Adina Menzel, who I first saw

43
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: way way back in her Tony winning role of Alphaba,

44
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: the Wicked Witch of the West and the smash musical

45
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: Wicked that I've seen like eight times now. And who

46
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: everyone I mean, everyone who has a child or a

47
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: grandchild is familiar with well familiar with her voice, at

48
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: least as Elsa in Disney's Oscar Award winning Frozen. No

49
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: one else is super exciting she is here with us today.

50
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: I can't wait to get caught up with her and

51
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: all that she's been up to. Right after I give

52
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: proper credit to another outstanding performer, one of the sponsors

61
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: I have a co host with me in the studio.

62
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: This is Delilah Jr. H. If her plan went through,

63
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: she would be in her first day of school today,

64
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 1: but some paperwork was missing, and so instead she got

65
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 1: to come home and she gets to meet and talk

66
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: with Idina. I don't know if you remember. We had

67
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 1: lunch together many many moons ago, and my daughter, Sheyla came,

68
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: who was at that time your biggest fan, and I

69
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: had taken her to see you and Wicked. And now

70
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: Delilah is your biggest fan, and she has not yet

71
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: got to see a new movie. And then we'll get

72
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: to watch the movie later on. The movie's great, it's fun. So,

73
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: Idina men Zelli, what have you done? What have you

74
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: been doing during the COVID shutdown? You've been busy, busy, busy, busy.

75
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: I've been busier, probably than I would have thought. During

76
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: a pandemic. Cinderella happened, and then I came home for

77
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: what was going to be a two week break to

78
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: see my family and then didn't go back for months

79
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: because of COVID, and then we that one little you know,

80
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: kind of dipped down the numbers. They got it, they

81
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: had figured out how to be safe on set and

82
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: got us back in and we we finished the film,

83
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: the films Cinderella, and then a couple of months go

84
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: by and then I just finished Enchanted. Yeah, so I've

85
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 1: been busy in making music. But mostly, you know, the

86
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: pandemic for me was a silver lining and that I

87
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: got to be home more and go to my son's

88
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: basketball practices and just be a mom and a wife

89
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: and hang out at home. And I would like to

90
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: see it that I learned how to cook like everybody does,

91
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: but I didn't. I did a few arts and crafts,

92
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: and I found that I liked dakupage ng Jacopa chair

93
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: and some vases. I loved acupage. I ate the whole house,

94
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: and I'm age posh. I went a little crazy. I

95
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: I love to cook. And maybe a month or two

96
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 1: before the COVID shut down, two of my girlfriends taught

97
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: me how to make sour dough bread and one shared

98
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 1: a starter that's like fifty years old. So my girlfriends

99
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: and I became the sour Dough Sisterhood, and now I

100
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: shared the same starter. It has a name, and we

101
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: became the Sour Dough Sisterhood. And we would send pictures

102
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: to each other, you know, where we put like herbs

103
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: in it, or herb butter in it, or Janie added

104
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: because my producer, Janie is very health conscious, so she

105
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: added all these healthy nuts and grains and she only

106
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: used hold wheat bread. Then we would send pictures to

107
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: each other. And then I noticed as the year went on,

108
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 1: the picture of me holding the bread the bread loaf

109
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: was the same size, but I but you're asked that bigger. Yeah.

110
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: I was growing like with each picture, and I'm like, shoot,

111
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: should I edit these? Like should I use the body

112
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: shaping thing? Get rid of that sour dough middle that

113
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: I've created. So it was a wonderful experience, but boy,

114
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: now I'm trying to walk ten thousand steps a day

115
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: to trim trim down the sour rating. For a minute, though,

116
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: wasn't it just to kind of just eat whatever and

117
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: not worry about having to be on camera public in

118
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: some way and just enjoy And it was great until

119
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: I realized I had to get back into my corset

120
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: for Cinderella, and then I that will be so humiliating

121
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: if they have to extend the corset and it redo

122
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: the costume out on the peloton. At that point started

123
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: trying to work off my sour bread. Well, I haven't

124
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: gotten back up, you know. I haven't done a speaking

125
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: tour or anything since this hit. But I am doing

126
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: my ten thousand steps a day, or I'm trying to anyway. Um,

127
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: so you finished Cinderella. I did a commercial for it

128
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, and I haven't had a

129
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: chance to watch it because I want to watch it

130
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,119
Speaker 1: with the kids. But tell me about that. Yeah, it's

131
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: it's really joyous, honestly, the music and the arrangements and

132
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: and she's not a whimp. I hear, she's not waiting

133
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: for the Brinds Desavers. Are you gonna have a good life? Yeah,

134
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: it's very modern. It's modern take on Cinderella, and it's

135
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 1: it's good. I think that, you know, we have to

136
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: they say these these stories are timeless, but sometimes they

137
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: don't always stand the test of time. When I need

138
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 1: a little recalibrating and we need to look at them

139
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: as a society and just just until still a lot

140
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: I have had a very hard time as a mother

141
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: with eight girls, exposing them to Disney princesses who were

142
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: waiting for their night in Shining Armor, their prince Charming

143
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: to kiss them and wake them up or whatever, because

144
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's not real life. I know. That's why

145
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: I feel lucky that I'm Elsa and Frozen, because I

146
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: think that that Disney team that created Frozen was really

147
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 1: trying to be responsible and held accountable in that way,

148
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: and that that was all about the two sisters falling

149
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: in love with one another really and being there for

150
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: each other. And so I think that there's a trend

151
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: to really do the work there. And in Cinderella, it's

152
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: really about a woman not compromising herself and not settling

153
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: and having a vision of what she wants in life.

154
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: And and also it's a really nice role model for

155
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: young men to see because the man she chooses is

156
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: actually very supportive of her and wants her to be

157
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: her best self. Wouldn't that be nice if we could

158
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 1: always give that message and that our young daughters received

159
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: that message that you know what, you can make it

160
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: on your own if you choose to have a prince

161
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: Charming in your life. Make sure he loves you for you. Yeah,

162
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: It's just that's how I feel in my with my

163
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: husband now. I just feel like he sees me. He

164
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: sees me for who I am and with all my imperfections,

165
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: but he also sees them as being my strengths and

166
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: what makes me special. And so he's a good example

167
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: for my son and to see my son to see

168
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: the way that he treats me with that kind of respect,

169
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: and for my son to see the way I treat

170
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: myself and the characters I play, and that I you know,

171
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: I feel a lot of guilt as a working woman

172
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: when I leave my son or I'm busy for the day,

173
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: or you know, can't be at every practice or game.

174
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: But he's also seeing that his mom does what she

175
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: loves to do and what she's passionate about for a living.

176
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: Does he have any clue how amazing I am amazing

177
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: and slapped and hot a DNA that you are, that's right?

178
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: How how you drip with with awesomeness? Thank you? Know? Um?

179
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: I think he does. I think, depending on the day,

180
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: plays it off. But um, he's very proud. He will.

181
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: It all comes down to this one time where the

182
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: teacher called me and said, Um, he was a music

183
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: class and she asked everyone to raise her hand and

184
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: tell what who their favorite singer was, and he said

185
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 1: my mom. So I think about that every time he

186
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: screams set me when I'm singing something in the shower

187
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: and tells me it's too loud and annoying. I take

188
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: myself back to that music class. Nevermind myself that deep

189
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 1: down he's very proud, and he's also probably going to

190
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: use it to get some of the girls one day.

191
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: Of course he is. Actually, I'll say, he actually really

192
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: likes this movie because he likes that I'm kind of

193
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 1: playing I shall I say the nemesis. Um, he likes it.

194
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: The music I'm singing this, this original song I have

195
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: in this in the movie that I co wrote called

196
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: dream Girl, is really, as he would say, badass, and

197
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: he wants me to rock more. I think. So he's

198
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: excited by that. Very cool. That is awesome. So Cinderella

199
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,839
Speaker 1: out now available to anybody? Yeah? Is it? It's what? Yeah,

200
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: it's out now, or it's on Amazon, or you can

201
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: go to certain theaters and see it. I have to say,

202
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: it's pretty awesome to see you on a big screen.

203
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: You know, we're all assuming that we've just kind of

204
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: we don't need it anymore and we're home. But one

205
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 1: day it would really be nice if we could all

206
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 1: safely get back into a theater because I got to

207
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: see it outdoors and a big screen and it's just

208
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: luminous and fun, and let's do that, let's do it

209
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: out to me, you probably see more of my smile lines,

210
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: Oh you're so beautiful, but um, it's good because of

211
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: music and the dancing and the be um all the

212
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: tracks are really you know, when you have great sound,

213
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: it's just a different story, a completely different story. Somebody

214
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: one said to me. You know, you can get up

215
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: and pause and go to the bathroom, or if something

216
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: emotionally makes you feel a little uncomfortable, you can stop it,

217
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: Whereas when you're in a theater you have to sit

218
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: with what the creators we're doing and whether whatever that

219
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: makes you feel. And I think that's the lost art here.

220
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: A little bit is that my husband gets up twelve

221
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: times to pee in the middle of an emotional movie

222
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: and where are you going? Where are you going, honey?

223
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: Where I'm going to make popcorn and go into this

224
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: and like, but this is not how it was intended

225
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 1: for you to see. Well, it's you know, it's depressing.

226
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 1: I know, we'd sit in it for a minute. Yeah,

227
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: feel the feelings, It's okay, embrace the embrace the feelings. Yeah.

228
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: If a movie doesn't have like three car explosions in

229
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: it and at least you know, two or three bad

230
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: guys and the chase, and my husband isn't interested unless

231
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: it's Princess Pride. Princess Pride, It's true, that's a great movie. Yeah.

232
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: Well I'm I'm pretty evil, except then you learn what

233
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: makes me tick in this movie, which is why I

234
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: love it a lot, because you know, she's not just

235
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: an archetype. She's she's definitely has levels and pain and

236
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: human experience that you get to see, like Alpha ba. Yeah,

237
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: I guess I'm drawn to those characters, you know, as

238
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: misunderstood powerful women that um that have to take their

239
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: anger out by you know, and their anger, but their

240
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: anger is frowned upon their rage, their power so becomes

241
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: it becomes scary as opposed to becoming powerful and beautiful.

242
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: And so this is a different angle on that, but

243
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: but all stemming from the same place of women with

244
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: strong talent and passion and strong feelings that temper them

245
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: and bring them and suppress them, and then it comes

246
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: out in different ways. And so I think it's important

247
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: for everyone to keep reminding themselves that. But the whole

248
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: point is to step into other people's footsteps, you know,

249
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: and find that empathy. I mean, that's I think why

250
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: I like being a performer, because I'm always asked to

251
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: do that. I think is human beings. Before we judge

252
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: someone is important to kind of think about what was

253
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: their experience? Maybe why are they acting this by you know,

254
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: I'm having so much fun getting caught up with you today, Adina.

255
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: Can we pause for just a second and let one

256
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: of my podcast sponsors take about The show must go on,

257
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: but without these sponsors, none of this would be possible.

258
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: This podcast is sponsored by Better Help, a company set

275
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: confession session, something I do on my radio show often

276
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: where I ask people tough questions and you can pass,

277
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: that's fine. But I'm thinking of the three characters, the

278
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: one you're describing in Cinderella and certainly Frozen your character,

279
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: and as Alphabet and Wicked, And you just touched on

280
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,119
Speaker 1: how often when we are strong, when we are talented,

281
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: when we are driven, were painted as batches or difficult

282
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,360
Speaker 1: or unmanageable. Where if a guy is talented and driven,

283
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 1: he's the head of the company. He's the best thing ever.

284
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 1: You know. He can take over the world. He can

285
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: run these major corporations and have a race to space

286
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 1: with his other multi billionaire buddies. So when in your

287
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 1: person life, in your real life off screen, has there

288
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: been a moment, And I know there's probably been many

289
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,719
Speaker 1: where you were made to feel like you should be

290
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: less than who you are. There was a scene in

291
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: Amadeus Mozart where the guy who had commissioned the requium

292
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: or whatever said, it's there's too many notes and let's like, um,

293
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 1: what do you mean there's too many? Take some out,

294
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 1: get get rid of some of it. Is there a

295
00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: time that you can share where somebody made you feel

296
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 1: like who you are, your talent, your personality, your beauty,

297
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: your strength, your features that are like you're beautiful, thank you.

298
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 1: But was there a time where, I mean, I remember

299
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 1: a specific time when somebody tried to change my name

300
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: and this is my birth name and they're like, no, no, no,

301
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 1: you can't. You can't go by the Lila. It sounds

302
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: too made up. Yeah. Um, I'm thinking of several things,

303
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: and you don't have to name names. I'm not asking

304
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: you to hurt anybody. I never want to hurt anybody

305
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: on the show. But well, I think of my wicked experience.

306
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: But the person that was most at fault for the

307
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: way I felt was honestly myself. Um, I allowed myself

308
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: to feel insubordinate and like undeserving. I was so my

309
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: insecurity was so high, it's going to get fired in

310
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: every incarnation of the workshops and different things of Wicked.

311
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: And I so adored and revered Christian Channoit's process and

312
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 1: how like she was just she really was such a

313
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,199
Speaker 1: pro and she seemed like hit the character to me,

314
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 1: she was so perfect and every time she said her

315
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: line to everyone laughed, and I was just really feeling like, um,

316
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 1: not feeling Wicked at all. And so that became like

317
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 1: a self fulfilling prophecy because the more I tried to

318
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 1: fake it, I just felt worse and worse about myself.

319
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: So this is one of those beautiful times where the

320
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 1: character and the person were, you know, art imitating life

321
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: and it wasn't. I remembered of one night where the

322
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 1: director had said, like, step into your light. I mean,

323
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: the show is called Wicked, let's go like, let's be badass.

324
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 1: You know you're holding back and only and I don't

325
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: like to say this because I want young people to really, um,

326
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 1: not copy other people and embrace what makes them unique.

327
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: And yet I think there's a time to emulate the

328
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 1: people that inspire us. And I had this moment when

329
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: I was backstage and I said to myself, tonight, I

330
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: am going to pretend like I'm Glenn Close playing alf

331
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 1: blah blah. She would hold for applause, she would take

332
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: a long about, she would hold the notes longer, she

333
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: would let the silences just linger, you know, like there

334
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 1: would be no worrying about being too good or too

335
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: talented or too powerful. And so that was the best

336
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,199
Speaker 1: show I ever had because I said, no, you hold here,

337
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: they're applauding. Don't go into the next song yet, take

338
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: that in or or lay into this line, and don't

339
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: be afraid to be angry or powerful. This is who

340
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: you are, you know. And it's so that's that's always

341
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: a weird example for me to talk about, because I

342
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: want kids to like, really believe in what makes them unique.

343
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,439
Speaker 1: And yet sometimes we have to look to the women

344
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: that we are inspired by for a little help sometimes.

345
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: You know, my mom was a very big I'm five

346
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: ten and she was three inches taller than me, very

347
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: big woman, but she was she looked like a model.

348
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 1: You know, she was beautiful, and she had a very

349
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: big personality. And it wasn't until much later in life

350
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 1: that I realized she had a lot of insecurities, a lot.

351
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: But I didn't know that when I was a kid,

352
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: and a lot of times, you know, you were you

353
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 1: were talking about what would Glenn Close do? And when

354
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 1: I would be going into a situation, and I would

355
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: be just be so anxious, in a bundle of nerves.

356
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 1: I would think about my mom and how you know,

357
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: she would walk into the principal's office and she would

358
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: defend her daughter, and my mom the same. She was

359
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 1: so beautiful everybody to this day, she's seventy three, she

360
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,919
Speaker 1: looks like she's in her fifties. She's everyone say she

361
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: would look like Fara Fauce that when she'd come into school. Um,

362
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: she was so powerful on behalf of us, my sister

363
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: and myself, and like and fight for us and loyal,

364
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: and yet we would see are look in the mirror

365
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: it herself and take yourself down. Oh this I look fat.

366
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: Oh I don't like the way I look here. And

367
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: and so I realized as a parent that no matter

368
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: what you have to be an example, you can't because

369
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: the kids are watching what you do, and no matter

370
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: how much you said you're beautiful girls and you're you're talented,

371
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: it didn't matter. I inhabited the part of her that

372
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: saw a beautiful woman in the mirror and then was

373
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 1: disparaging to herself. So it's important as parents that we

374
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: start of fake fake it till you make it. My motto,

375
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: fake until you make it. Well, if you're faking it

376
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: til you make it, you're doing a damn good job,

377
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: because you're amazing. You're amazing. I love your voice. I mean,

378
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: everybody knows your voice, probably because of Frozen, but I

379
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 1: had the pleasure of hearing your voice for the first

380
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,479
Speaker 1: time in Wicked, and then of course bought the album

381
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: and then you know, followed you. And there is a

382
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 1: quality to your voice that is otherworldly. Oh thanks, like

383
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 1: a power that blows me away. Oh thank you, so

384
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: thank you for sharing your music with us all these years. Delilah,

385
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 1: did you have anything that you wanted to say or ask?

386
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,719
Speaker 1: You're sitting here so nicely. In the movie Frozen, did

387
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: Hans actually wanted to marry Anna just to take over Aaron? Now?

388
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 1: What do you think about that? Was that upsetting for you.

389
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: Was that upsetting that ending? Yeah? I didn't like he

390
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: wanted to take over your castle. Yeah, he was so deceiving,

391
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: wasn't he? H? I know, And it was a surprise

392
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: because we all believed he really loved her, right. I

393
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: tend to think that characters are complicated, and maybe he

394
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: thought she was really wonderful, but he also wanted the

395
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 1: power of taking over the castle. So I think it's

396
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: left up to our interpretation. And is Anna, you're like

397
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: the character who plays her? Is she your actual sister?

398
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: Kristin Bell, she feels like a sister. No, she's she's

399
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: my friend and she's very much like Anna, and we

400
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: treat each other like sisters. But I actually have a

401
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: younger sister, my real sister. Her name is Kara. She's

402
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 1: three years younger than me, and we're very similar in

403
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 1: that way. She's she's more like Anna, and she's always

404
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 1: you know, and I'm like also making all these songs

405
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: and everybody paying attention to me and telling me I'm magical.

406
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: And she's my younger sisters, more quiet, she's smarter than me,

407
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:46,719
Speaker 1: she's more responsible than me, and she's a writer, and

408
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: so she's had to learn growing up She took her

409
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 1: a long time to figure out what she wanted to

410
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: do because I was always singing and you know, taking

411
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 1: the energy out of the room. And now she's this

412
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 1: beautiful writer and we've written this children's book together that

413
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: hopefully I'll come on the show one day and like

414
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 1: a year and talk to you about I'll send it

415
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: to you. But yes, and my true real sister, her

416
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: name is Kara, and we're very very close. So here's

417
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: a question with your true real sister. If anybody had

418
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,439
Speaker 1: ever put a wall between you and said you couldn't

419
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 1: go out that door or she couldn't come in the door,

420
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: I guess uh also had the choice to go out,

421
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 1: but she was afraid of her power. Would that wall

422
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: have ever kept you from your sister, from your family? No,

423
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: unless I really thought I could hurt her, which is

424
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: what I think Elsa believed. She really was told by

425
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: her parents that she could hurt I mean, she did

426
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 1: hurt her sister when they were a little you know,

427
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: she knocked on the ground, so she was just terrified

428
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: of really wounding the people around her. So, um, No,

429
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: nothing could keep me from being with my sister, unless

430
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 1: for some reason I thought that that actual touch was

431
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: going to really hurt her. That's so sad when you

432
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 1: think of it. Like I know, I was talking to

433
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 1: somebody yesterday when I was prepared ring for this interview,

434
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 1: and I said, you know, I really don't like that

435
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:09,360
Speaker 1: story at all because I just think that it's it's cruel,

436
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: it's it's child abuse to have two sisters living in

437
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: the same house with the wall between them and no contact. Horrible. Yeah, yeah,

438
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: that's like some sort of weird hell to be in.

439
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 1: I know, But what about COVID. We've been locking our

440
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 1: family members in other rooms in the house we put in.

441
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: You agree with me? Lui? That's my dog? What kind

442
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 1: of dog? He's an Italian water dog. He looks kind

443
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: of boodally. But they're called Legoto Romagnolo's. That's the pretentious name.

444
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,199
Speaker 1: They they're bred to find truffles and tuscany. It's like

445
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 1: really tough stuff. And does he ever go truffle hunting?

446
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 1: He digs a lot, Yeah, he did. Sometimes. I think

447
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 1: we could get truffles and put him in the ground

448
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: for him, just just because he's always looking digging for something,

449
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: for anything. Okay, so folks can find Cinderella. It is

450
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: in some theaters. It is available on Amazon. You're working

451
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: on a children's book. What else can they look forward

452
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: to enjoying you in? Anything else in the works. Yeah,

453
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: I'm working on some new musicals, a couple of things

454
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: that are in their nation stages. UM, but that's my

455
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: happy place. I love to be involved in the early

456
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: stages and um work with new young composers and writers.

457
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: And then yeah, just sohe an album. I'm working onto

458
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:38,159

Speaker 1: in Ireland. Sour dough was all the age, yummy sour dough.

473
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 1: I make the sour do and then we slice it

474
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: and butter it and then pan fry it like a

475
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 1: steak and then put parmesan cheese or you know, some

476
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: kind of hard cheese on top. Hey, look, I'm you know, Dolilla.

478
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: but I'm really um relieved and happy that whatever mistake

479
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 1: she made this morning, um, happened so that we could

480
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: see each other and get to meet each other, you know,

481
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,120

484
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: we did a play about Frozen. We went in the

485
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 1: backyard for barbecue, and um, Delilah and my granddaughter performed

486
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: songs from Frozen and I had made costumes for them.

487
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: What was your favorite moment, Talila? Probably love as an

488
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: open door. Yeah. I was Anna and she was herbar

489
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: was Elsa. And did you did everyone applaud? How did

490
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: that feel? I felt nice? Oh good? Right? Did you

491
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: get nervous or no? Yeah? Yeah, what do you do

492
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: when you're nervous? She giggles, She giggles, Yeah, you pushed

493
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 1: through and you did it. Yeah, well, I wish I

494
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: was there. You send me a video. I can send

495
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: you the video. We have the video. I was so

496
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: proud of him because a lot of people have the

497
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: desire in their heart to, you know, to step up

498
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: and do something, and then they let fear. When I

499
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: was saying, she pushed through her nerves and she did,

500
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: she did. Aren't you so proud of yourself after that? Yes? Yeah,

501
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: I was really proud of her. I still get nervous

502
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: every time I have to get up and sing what

503
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: happens to you when you get nervous? I was at

504
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: the pea. Yeah, I have to pee and many times,

505
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: and then, um, I start to freak out that I'm

506
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: going to forget the lyrics. So then I sell myself.

507
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: Stop it. Just sing the song to your son. Sing

508
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: the song or your son. That's all that matters. Um.

509
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: So I do think like that. Sometimes I do mess

510
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: up and forget the lyrics and then I'm I tell everyone, oh,

511
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: I just messed up, and I'm going to take that

512
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: back and start again. And I find that the audience

513
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 1: really likes that to see that you're human infallible. So

514
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: I've learned that to lean into my mistakes. But that

515
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: takes a minute to to trust and it's scary. But yeah,

516
00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:00,040
Speaker 1: what else I get dry mouths sometimes? Well, thank you

517
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: for this time, Thank you for spending time with us.

518
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: I think we're going to have a Cinderella party. Oh great, yeah, yeah,
