0:00:01.160 --> 0:00:04.280
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Go Ask Alli, a production of Shonda Land

0:00:04.320 --> 0:00:09.080
<v Speaker 1>Audio and partnership with I Heart Radio. It's Sally. Check

0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:11.800
<v Speaker 1>this out from part one of the Brooken Alley Crossover.

0:00:12.760 --> 0:00:17.480
<v Speaker 1>I had a now what moment in my twenties when

0:00:17.520 --> 0:00:21.840
<v Speaker 1>I I didn't get into a dance company. It was

0:00:21.880 --> 0:00:26.760
<v Speaker 1>so embarrassing to me to be a famous person right

0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:29.880
<v Speaker 1>and go out for this, really put myself out there

0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:34.040
<v Speaker 1>and not be good enough. And that summer I took

0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:38.080
<v Speaker 1>four and five dance classes a day and I got

0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:40.839
<v Speaker 1>back in freshman week, I tried out for all of

0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:44.640
<v Speaker 1>the different things again and I got into So. Yeah,

0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:53.239
<v Speaker 1>you have like a real workhorse sensibility. Yeah, welcome to

0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:56.480
<v Speaker 1>go ask Alli. I'm Alli Wentworth And today I'm doing

0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:59.600
<v Speaker 1>something a little bit different. I have my bestie Brooke

0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Shield here and on her podcast Now What, I got

0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:07.240
<v Speaker 1>to ask her a bunch of questions, uh, and even

0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:11.080
<v Speaker 1>play a little game called would you Ever? And now

0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:14.319
<v Speaker 1>on my podcast, I'm going to play a game with

0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:16.199
<v Speaker 1>her called Bad Choices. I don't know if you guys

0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:20.080
<v Speaker 1>know this game, but Bad Choices is a hilarious way

0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:22.360
<v Speaker 1>to get a group of people to really tell some

0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:28.960
<v Speaker 1>funny stories about themselves. So uh. Disclaimer, I bought the box,

0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:32.280
<v Speaker 1>a brand new box of bad choices. I just shuffled

0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:35.160
<v Speaker 1>it and I split the shuffle. And Brooke has a

0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:37.560
<v Speaker 1>bunch of questions and I have a bunch of questions,

0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 1>and we're gonna take turns picking a card. These are

0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:45.280
<v Speaker 1>not pre positioned and asking each other questions which will

0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:49.600
<v Speaker 1>prompt I think some very funny stories. Okay, So, brook Shields,

0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:52.200
<v Speaker 1>do you want me to start? Okay, I'm gonna pick

0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:54.920
<v Speaker 1>a card, and I'm going to ask you this question.

0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:01.480
<v Speaker 1>Would you ever have sex in your life for three

0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:06.280
<v Speaker 1>million dollars with a stranger? I think I probably would. Okay,

0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:09.120
<v Speaker 1>you would probably? All right, Brookshields will have sex with

0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:13.040
<v Speaker 1>a stranger for three million dollars. Okay, that was but

0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:16.160
<v Speaker 1>she easier than I thought, asked me. Okay, here's a question.

0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:20.560
<v Speaker 1>If you could, would you sleep your way to the

0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:24.560
<v Speaker 1>top if I could? When I say, I would not,

0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:27.800
<v Speaker 1>And I'll tell you why because I never made it

0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:30.320
<v Speaker 1>to the top, and I just assume it's not so

0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:34.560
<v Speaker 1>great up there. I'm also mediocre in bed, so I

0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:38.400
<v Speaker 1>don't think even if I put my that's foot forward.

0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:42.160
<v Speaker 1>First of all, I don't, but it goes whatever rifice

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.400
<v Speaker 1>that foot goes in. I don't think that I would. Um,

0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:46.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I would make it to the top.

0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:50.280
<v Speaker 1>Can we also ask each other the other questions? Would

0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:53.120
<v Speaker 1>you sleep with someone for three million dollars? No, you

0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:56.560
<v Speaker 1>would know. I'm picturing the person being like handsome though,

0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:02.240
<v Speaker 1>like now that it's it's putin, um and I wouldn't

0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:04.680
<v Speaker 1>sleep You said you would, all right, Well I would

0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:08.160
<v Speaker 1>if they were cute. There's if you're sleeping with somebody

0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:10.000
<v Speaker 1>for three million dollars, they're not going to be cute

0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:14.480
<v Speaker 1>because they're having Robert Redford from the proposal. Okay, that's

0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:17.720
<v Speaker 1>what I was thinking. By the way, I have been

0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:23.840
<v Speaker 1>offered offered um, well, one was twelve camels and the

0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:29.160
<v Speaker 1>other one was an undisclosed number. But it was definitely, um,

0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:33.919
<v Speaker 1>a someone from the Middle East. But while you were

0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:38.200
<v Speaker 1>a virgin, did they ask Yeah, yeah, so as virgin

0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Brooke golf camels. But then also there was a number

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:45.240
<v Speaker 1>of values somewhere thrown away. But I didn't hear the

0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:47.680
<v Speaker 1>number of value. My mom told me. And did you

0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:51.360
<v Speaker 1>guys sit down with your accountant and crunch the numbers?

0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:57.720
<v Speaker 1>Since the numbers, yes, did you know, wait a second.

0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:02.160
<v Speaker 1>So I always hear about a lot of models, especially

0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:04.360
<v Speaker 1>when they were younger, they got paid to just be

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:06.600
<v Speaker 1>on somebody's boat, Like you don't have to have sex

0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:09.040
<v Speaker 1>with anybody you but they would pay you to be

0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:12.080
<v Speaker 1>at a party or on someone's yacht. Did you ever

0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:15.760
<v Speaker 1>get those asked? I didn't get paid to do that,

0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:19.800
<v Speaker 1>but I have gone on people's yachts, like in the eighties,

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:23.760
<v Speaker 1>where I got gifts like jewelry and stuff like that,

0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:25.520
<v Speaker 1>but I didn't have to do anything, and my mom

0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:27.920
<v Speaker 1>was with us. But you got jewelry, but I got

0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:31.400
<v Speaker 1>jewelry and and you know, taken shopping and so you

0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:36.080
<v Speaker 1>were like the first influencer. Yeah, so all right, now

0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:41.640
<v Speaker 1>it's my term. Has your friendliness ever been misinterpreted as flirting?

0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:48.400
<v Speaker 1>I was always so naive that, yes, it has often

0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:53.920
<v Speaker 1>been misinterpreted as flirting. And I'm putting myself in probably

0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:58.760
<v Speaker 1>more dangerous situations because I've just been so trusting, you know,

0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:01.679
<v Speaker 1>and I and and then just been shocked to find

0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:05.440
<v Speaker 1>out that that was what I was putting off. So

0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:07.600
<v Speaker 1>so man would say like, oh, I thought we had

0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:11.120
<v Speaker 1>a thing because you were so friendly. Yeah, well I

0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:13.080
<v Speaker 1>thought that that's what you meant. I was like, no,

0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:16.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm just being a kind, fun, good person. But it

0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:20.760
<v Speaker 1>was definitely they took it as a rejection. They also

0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:24.600
<v Speaker 1>probably took your friendliness as wishful, thinking that it was

0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:28.800
<v Speaker 1>flirting too. Probably all right, okay, Um, would you ever

0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:34.000
<v Speaker 1>lie about a person to get them fired? No, I

0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:36.440
<v Speaker 1>would never lie about a person to get them fired.

0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah no, unless maybe Michelle Fifer because she took your career,

0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:46.479
<v Speaker 1>because she took my career. Um, no, I don't. I

0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:48.720
<v Speaker 1>would never lie. I would never lie, but I would

0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:51.760
<v Speaker 1>never not lie. If they did do something, I probably

0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:53.960
<v Speaker 1>and I would do the same thing. Yeah. I would

0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:56.560
<v Speaker 1>never lie to get a person fired just out of spite.

0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:02.599
<v Speaker 1>Do you complain a lot about first world problems? Have

0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:08.680
<v Speaker 1>you listened to her podcast? I am always saying good

0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:12.960
<v Speaker 1>problems to have. I never complain about anything that is

0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:19.239
<v Speaker 1>even seemingly just gross. I cringe when I sometimes even

0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:22.720
<v Speaker 1>admit to how lucky I am. Yeah, you do complain

0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:26.479
<v Speaker 1>a lot about your yacht size. Yeah, well that's different.

0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:28.719
<v Speaker 1>And when you don't get to fly private and the

0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:31.000
<v Speaker 1>number of crew, and the number of crew they call

0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:37.400
<v Speaker 1>you relatable shields. Yeah, all right? Would you spend the

0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:42.720
<v Speaker 1>night in a fuse? What would you spend the night

0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:47.560
<v Speaker 1>in a full porta potty for ten dollars? Yes, full

0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:51.400
<v Speaker 1>meaning it's full of poop. Probably well for twenty four

0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:55.440
<v Speaker 1>hours a night a night, Yeah, for ten dollars. Yes,

0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:58.280
<v Speaker 1>I would do that for ventilation. You would do it

0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:00.440
<v Speaker 1>the same thing I would do it? Ten grand is

0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:03.760
<v Speaker 1>ten grand? Have you ever made a New Year's resolution

0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:08.920
<v Speaker 1>that lasted less than a week? Don't they all? Yeah?

0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:11.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I've ever made a New Year's resolution

0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:14.440
<v Speaker 1>that lasted more than a week. Me neither. Yeah, and

0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:16.400
<v Speaker 1>that's why I don't make them anymore. Yeah, same with me.

0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:20.360
<v Speaker 1>I actually made a very distinct decision not to do it. No,

0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:22.600
<v Speaker 1>you set yourself up for failure. I don't know how

0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:25.760
<v Speaker 1>many times I've been like, I'm only a vegan from

0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:29.840
<v Speaker 1>this point forth, and then I went to basketball, I'm

0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:32.360
<v Speaker 1>not going to drink anymore alcohol. Yeah, that does not

0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:34.920
<v Speaker 1>last in my life. Yeah, well there you go. So

0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:38.520
<v Speaker 1>I just don't do it. No resolution resolutions and you

0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:43.240
<v Speaker 1>can't fail. No, No, But I do look back at

0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:47.080
<v Speaker 1>the things that I'm the happiest and of that year,

0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:51.240
<v Speaker 1>and when I'm most proud of like I look back with, Oh,

0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:54.480
<v Speaker 1>that's the positive way positive, rather than I'm going to

0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:56.680
<v Speaker 1>deny myself this or from now on, I'm going to

0:07:56.760 --> 0:08:00.440
<v Speaker 1>be this. I think that's good. I like I like

0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:05.000
<v Speaker 1>a retrospective rather than a Okay, okay, would you be

0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:08.960
<v Speaker 1>willing to look ten years older in order to retire

0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:15.480
<v Speaker 1>ten years earlier? Never? Well, only because I've been SENTI

0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:19.640
<v Speaker 1>retired my whole life. I'm never retiring by the way,

0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:22.280
<v Speaker 1>I know, I'm never retiring either. But so that that

0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:26.120
<v Speaker 1>doesn't work for me, Um, let me ask you a question. Okay,

0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:32.400
<v Speaker 1>would you trade youthful? No, your feet, nobody will trade

0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:39.160
<v Speaker 1>with you. Would you trade always looking youthful being heavy

0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:47.199
<v Speaker 1>with being very very thin but aging? Mm hmm. That's

0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:51.080
<v Speaker 1>a that is a very interesting question. Okay, so that

0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:57.200
<v Speaker 1>the obviously real, honest answer is I think youthful and

0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:01.800
<v Speaker 1>enjoying your life and gay gaining meaning eating what you want,

0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:06.640
<v Speaker 1>enjoying your life, drinking, eating and you know, um, that

0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:14.679
<v Speaker 1>signifies confidence and joy. But because I've always worried about

0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:19.560
<v Speaker 1>my size, but because you're so tall, yeah, because I'm tall,

0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:23.640
<v Speaker 1>and because I'm big, I'm bigger, like gaining weight is

0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:28.440
<v Speaker 1>um it's stressful for me, and it really kind of

0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:32.320
<v Speaker 1>it reeks a little havoc on my on my self, esteam,

0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:35.000
<v Speaker 1>but I look younger, and I prefer to look more

0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:39.760
<v Speaker 1>youthful and plumper. Now you look all all right? Who's

0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:43.559
<v Speaker 1>turning it to ask me? I guess ask you? Okay?

0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:47.080
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever had more than eight shots in one night?

0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:49.319
<v Speaker 1>Have I ever had more than eight shots of No?

0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:52.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a drinker, as you know. And the last

0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:55.120
<v Speaker 1>time I was actually drunk was when I went on

0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:58.120
<v Speaker 1>a date with my now husband and I drank a

0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:01.600
<v Speaker 1>gin and tonic and general mess you up. But one

0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:06.319
<v Speaker 1>gen and tonic and I was, you know, pole dancing

0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:10.000
<v Speaker 1>at a very respectable restaurant. So I there wasn't there

0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:13.360
<v Speaker 1>wasn't a pole. So eight shots, um would put me

0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:16.040
<v Speaker 1>in the emergency room. So no, I think eight shots

0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:17.800
<v Speaker 1>would put me in the emergency room too. I don't

0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:20.720
<v Speaker 1>think you've done eight shots? Eight really? I see you

0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:24.160
<v Speaker 1>in Mongolia with a fur hat going and turning the

0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:27.520
<v Speaker 1>cup over. No, no, no, do you think you would

0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:30.760
<v Speaker 1>give the best lap dance in the room. You're gonna

0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:33.480
<v Speaker 1>say yes, yes, because I worked really hard to be

0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:37.880
<v Speaker 1>a good dancer. When I was at Princeton. No, I

0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:42.319
<v Speaker 1>would be the most awkward lap dancer. Yeah, it would

0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:45.160
<v Speaker 1>be so comical that would know. I would be a

0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:49.000
<v Speaker 1>horrible lap dancer. Oh, you'd be pretty good, really, thank you.

0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:51.960
<v Speaker 1>I think so you'd be the kind of person that

0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:53.880
<v Speaker 1>would be like, oh, you don't have to give me

0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:56.760
<v Speaker 1>a dollar, and you'd be making change instead of dancing.

0:10:56.960 --> 0:11:01.480
<v Speaker 1>I'd pull the change out from somewhere chicking. Have you

0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:06.960
<v Speaker 1>ever thrown a party for a pet. I have had popsicles,

0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:11.480
<v Speaker 1>pup pup popsicle for Pepper on her birthday. That was

0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:14.800
<v Speaker 1>the closest thing. And I never did it on my own,

0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:17.880
<v Speaker 1>but my girls wanted to put a little hat on

0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:20.200
<v Speaker 1>her and sure, not a full party. Well, I have

0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:23.360
<v Speaker 1>to tell you, before I had kids, Um, I've always

0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:26.040
<v Speaker 1>had dogs, you know, and I treat them like my children.

0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:28.360
<v Speaker 1>I was living in l A. And I had a

0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:32.959
<v Speaker 1>full birthday party for my dog Trout. I invited like

0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:37.079
<v Speaker 1>fifteen people over, so I had human food and then

0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:40.040
<v Speaker 1>I had a buffet of dog food, you know, like

0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:43.440
<v Speaker 1>meatloaf and all kinds of stuff, and they brought their

0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:46.079
<v Speaker 1>dogs and we had the dogs had to wear hats.

0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:51.040
<v Speaker 1>And then I brought out a birthday cake they made

0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:54.079
<v Speaker 1>out of alpo and biscuits and all kinds of stuff,

0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:57.600
<v Speaker 1>And at the time it seemed like a really fun

0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:01.160
<v Speaker 1>thing to do. But in retrospect it makes me sad

0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:03.600
<v Speaker 1>for myself. I'm sad for you. Yeah, I'm a little

0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:06.839
<v Speaker 1>sad for you. Yeah, well that's me. Have you ever

0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:12.200
<v Speaker 1>looked through someone's wallet while they were out of the room. Um,

0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:15.120
<v Speaker 1>not as an adult, but I did um pinch a

0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:18.640
<v Speaker 1>few five verse when I was a kid, Like if

0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:21.679
<v Speaker 1>my mom was upstairs, I would take money out of

0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:24.040
<v Speaker 1>her wallet to go meet friends for candy or go

0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:27.440
<v Speaker 1>to a movie. Um. I probably have taken money out

0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:31.360
<v Speaker 1>of George's wallet, but not out of a friend or

0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:35.440
<v Speaker 1>a stranger. I've taken some money out of Chris's, but

0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:37.560
<v Speaker 1>I think he knows about it. It's not like I

0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:40.839
<v Speaker 1>waited till you. That was for drugs. That was for drugs. Um.

0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:43.720
<v Speaker 1>I have looked in my kid's wallets when they haven't

0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:46.400
<v Speaker 1>been because I wanted to see if they had fake

0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:49.760
<v Speaker 1>ideas and if they had taken my money, which every

0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:52.080
<v Speaker 1>time I go to my wallet, I know that there

0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:55.440
<v Speaker 1>was money there and it's miraculously gone. They took it

0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:10.199
<v Speaker 1>and it's time for a short break. Great, let's get

0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:14.440
<v Speaker 1>back to it. This is a funny story. I found

0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:20.160
<v Speaker 1>a small brick of fifty dollar bills hidden in my

0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:23.160
<v Speaker 1>youngest daughter's room and I was freaked out and I

0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:26.360
<v Speaker 1>called my husband and I said, oh my god, Harper's

0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:28.120
<v Speaker 1>a prostitute. And he said, what are you talking about.

0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:31.240
<v Speaker 1>I said, I found a brick of fifty dollar bills.

0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:33.640
<v Speaker 1>He goes, well, what if she's not a prostitute. What

0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:35.560
<v Speaker 1>if she's a drug dealer. And we got into a

0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:38.719
<v Speaker 1>huge discussion about which was worse, like what should we do?

0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:41.480
<v Speaker 1>Is she's a drug dealer, you know? Is she is

0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:43.960
<v Speaker 1>she the kingpin? Like who works for her? If she's

0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:46.080
<v Speaker 1>a prostitute, like she doing it out of the apartment.

0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:49.200
<v Speaker 1>So finally she comes home from school and I have

0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:52.240
<v Speaker 1>been sweating about it, and I said, honey, can you

0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:55.200
<v Speaker 1>come sit down. Um, I found the money in your room.

0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:57.719
<v Speaker 1>So which is it? Are you a sex worker or

0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:00.640
<v Speaker 1>are you dealing drugs? And she goes, I was a

0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:03.440
<v Speaker 1>counselor at camps all last summer and those were the

0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:05.520
<v Speaker 1>tips from the parents that I went to the bank

0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:07.560
<v Speaker 1>and I put them in fifties to put them in

0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:11.680
<v Speaker 1>my savings account for books for college. And we were like, okay,

0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:15.679
<v Speaker 1>good talk how bad we were? All right? Whose turn is?

0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:20.760
<v Speaker 1>Yours are mine? Um? Um, oh, do you masturbate more

0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:27.080
<v Speaker 1>than you have sex? O? U I'm so glad you've

0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:30.440
<v Speaker 1>got that one. Um No, do you have sex more

0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:36.160
<v Speaker 1>than look good for you? That's one to talk. Oh,

0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:38.680
<v Speaker 1>if I have that kind of time, I'm going to

0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:41.440
<v Speaker 1>do the laundry. I'm gonna do something else. Yeah, it's

0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:45.280
<v Speaker 1>a yeah. Well so, I mean some women find it

0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:51.040
<v Speaker 1>incredibly empowering and fantastic. I'm I think your producers would

0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:54.800
<v Speaker 1>agree that they masturbate all the time and they get

0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:57.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot out of right now, Yeah, okay, good. Have

0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:00.400
<v Speaker 1>you ever secretly thought that you would make a really

0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:04.200
<v Speaker 1>good gangster? Oh my god, I'd be the worst gangster.

0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:08.720
<v Speaker 1>First of all, I would I dropped the gun. I

0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:10.440
<v Speaker 1>don't know how to. I've never held a gun, so

0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:13.440
<v Speaker 1>I would probably if I pulled out a weapon, it

0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:16.760
<v Speaker 1>would be facing myself. Um. Second of all, I never

0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:18.680
<v Speaker 1>want to hurt people's feelings, and I don't think you

0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:21.440
<v Speaker 1>can be a gangster without hurting, you know, let alone

0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:24.800
<v Speaker 1>killing them. But I mean, I think I would make

0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:29.360
<v Speaker 1>a really good um like I wouldn't wouldn't be like

0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:32.080
<v Speaker 1>the small guy that would do the killing, but I'd

0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:34.640
<v Speaker 1>be a good godfather. No, I'd be like the cross

0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:37.040
<v Speaker 1>eyed guy that has to go bury everybody in the

0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:39.840
<v Speaker 1>field and New Jersey. Yeah, and I'd mess it up

0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:42.840
<v Speaker 1>and I tracked, you know, my footprints all over the dirt.

0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:46.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'd be a horrible gangster. Have you ever

0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:51.280
<v Speaker 1>thrown up in a taxi or an uber? I have

0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:55.120
<v Speaker 1>never thrown up in a taxi or an uber. I

0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:58.040
<v Speaker 1>Have you have? Yeah? I once got an inner ear

0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:02.040
<v Speaker 1>infection and George and I were watching the jutt Apatow

0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:04.720
<v Speaker 1>movie This Is Forty and I got really dizzy. I

0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:08.360
<v Speaker 1>started throwing up, and we got into a taxi and

0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:10.600
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't help. But you know, when you have like vertigo,

0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:12.240
<v Speaker 1>you throw up. And I started throwing up, and the

0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:14.640
<v Speaker 1>guy kicked us out on the street because he thought

0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:17.400
<v Speaker 1>I was drunk. And so now we're in Times Square

0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:19.600
<v Speaker 1>in New York and I'm continually throwing up, and then

0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:23.320
<v Speaker 1>I start hearing um, oh my god, she's wasted and

0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:25.280
<v Speaker 1>all this kind of stuff, and I was like, no,

0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:29.200
<v Speaker 1>it's very to go. He kept trying to defend myself,

0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:31.680
<v Speaker 1>but it was horrible and I felt really bad for

0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:33.880
<v Speaker 1>the taxi driver. And my husband was like, you know,

0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:36.480
<v Speaker 1>we'll pay for the dry cleaning, and I'm like, the

0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:40.640
<v Speaker 1>dry cleaning of the car, um. But it must be

0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:44.600
<v Speaker 1>a nightmare for anybody who works in public transportation when

0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:46.840
<v Speaker 1>somebody gets set and you know what happens all the time,

0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:49.840
<v Speaker 1>all the time. I mean, I've never done it, but

0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:55.200
<v Speaker 1>I have shot in my pants in a car. You've

0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, you've you've shipped your pants in a car. Well.

0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:02.000
<v Speaker 1>I managed to sort of raised myself up off the seat,

0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:06.320
<v Speaker 1>but I had that noro virus. Oh my god. And

0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:10.960
<v Speaker 1>as we were arriving at the Heathrow Airport to fly

0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:17.680
<v Speaker 1>to Ireland, and I was like, oh oh no, and

0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:23.160
<v Speaker 1>they the guy behind the desk said, oh she she

0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:26.480
<v Speaker 1>nervous flyer. Then they give her a room and they

0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:30.320
<v Speaker 1>put me in a breastfeeding room, giving me privacy. I

0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:33.440
<v Speaker 1>just wanted the bathroom give me. And there was no sink,

0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:36.640
<v Speaker 1>no waste paper basket, no nothing. There was a chair

0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:42.360
<v Speaker 1>to breastfeed a baby, and I like coughed and everything everywhere.

0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:45.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I just just what did you do? You

0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:47.679
<v Speaker 1>didn't get on the planet? All right? God help the

0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:50.480
<v Speaker 1>person that sat next to you. And I know, I

0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:53.520
<v Speaker 1>went out to my husband and I was like, I

0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:57.159
<v Speaker 1>just boomed my pet. There's nothing hotter than that, I know.

0:17:57.240 --> 0:18:01.000
<v Speaker 1>And and Rowan had a pair of um growing your

0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:03.919
<v Speaker 1>daughter my daughter rowing out a pair of jeans in

0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:07.800
<v Speaker 1>her backpack. Finally found the bathroom and did a whole.

0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:12.359
<v Speaker 1>It didn't happen again. Not the poop didn't happen again.

0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:15.800
<v Speaker 1>But I threw up every ten minutes. Oh God, the

0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:21.720
<v Speaker 1>neurovirus brutal? Um. Have you ever apologized after sex? That's

0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:25.480
<v Speaker 1>all I do is apologize after sex. I'm I'm sorry.

0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:29.320
<v Speaker 1>I'll be better next time. Have you ever gone skinny dipping?

0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:31.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure yes I have gone skinny, But I mean

0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:33.840
<v Speaker 1>the question is, have you ever won a bathing suit?

0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:37.040
<v Speaker 1>Brook Shield? Um? Have you ever tried to hack into

0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:42.000
<v Speaker 1>someone's social media account? Hack into it? No, not even

0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:45.720
<v Speaker 1>your daughters. I don't have to hack into it. Why

0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:51.400
<v Speaker 1>is that? Because? Um, we've always had a babysitter who

0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:56.040
<v Speaker 1>had access to it. If you, if you could, would

0:18:56.040 --> 0:19:00.720
<v Speaker 1>you hack into somebody's UM? If I found like it

0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:05.080
<v Speaker 1>was for my my safety, my kid's safety. All right,

0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:08.399
<v Speaker 1>let me ask you this, what if you had two hours,

0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:12.119
<v Speaker 1>and I want the listeners to think about these questions

0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:14.320
<v Speaker 1>as we asked them as well. If you had two

0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:18.240
<v Speaker 1>hours where you could hack into anybody's email in the

0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:26.120
<v Speaker 1>world without any repercussions, A would you and who's computer

0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:31.480
<v Speaker 1>would you hack into? You've got two hours? I mean

0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:35.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't feel I would not feel right like hacking

0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:38.760
<v Speaker 1>into it unless it was some something like the president

0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:42.480
<v Speaker 1>or like, hey, this is a game. Okay, well, I

0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:45.920
<v Speaker 1>mean I would so do it, you know, but I

0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:48.000
<v Speaker 1>would know who to do. I mean it would have

0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:50.399
<v Speaker 1>to be something in like the deep secret in the

0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:53.000
<v Speaker 1>government or something I would love to really I would.

0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:57.040
<v Speaker 1>I think I would. I'd hack Trump's computer. I would

0:19:57.040 --> 0:20:04.320
<v Speaker 1>hack all the Kardashian's computers. Um, I think i'd hack

0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:10.639
<v Speaker 1>Johnny Depps just for ships and giggles. Clarence Thomas, I mean,

0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:13.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean there's no repercussion. I mean I would want

0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:16.680
<v Speaker 1>to know truths, the truth of that or just like

0:20:17.040 --> 0:20:22.200
<v Speaker 1>how how do they correspond? You know, what are their apps?

0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:25.159
<v Speaker 1>I think it would be fun. Yeah, I would be interested.

0:20:25.200 --> 0:20:27.120
<v Speaker 1>I think that we should have one day a year

0:20:27.160 --> 0:20:29.600
<v Speaker 1>where you get an hour where you get to hack anybody.

0:20:29.600 --> 0:20:31.480
<v Speaker 1>It would be like the purt I was going to say,

0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:34.960
<v Speaker 1>it's like the part um. Have you ever gone out

0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:37.760
<v Speaker 1>with the intention of having a one night stand? Never?

0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Do you know, I've never had a one night stand.

0:20:40.359 --> 0:20:44.480
<v Speaker 1>I've never had a one night stand. Yeah, yeah, there's

0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:48.000
<v Speaker 1>still time. I It never appealed to me. I've always

0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:51.399
<v Speaker 1>been somebody I have to be attracted and I also

0:20:51.440 --> 0:20:54.359
<v Speaker 1>have to think that there's potential, there's going to be

0:20:54.440 --> 0:20:59.240
<v Speaker 1>a relationship. So the idea of hooking up with somebody

0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:01.760
<v Speaker 1>that I did think i'd be I could fall in

0:21:01.800 --> 0:21:04.679
<v Speaker 1>love with, was never appealing to me. I did try

0:21:04.760 --> 0:21:09.920
<v Speaker 1>to quote unquote so my oats what one time when

0:21:09.960 --> 0:21:13.600
<v Speaker 1>I was like, Okay, I'm not married and I'm just

0:21:13.720 --> 0:21:17.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna revisit all my old like flames with just the

0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:22.000
<v Speaker 1>intention of that, And I got not one taker. You

0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:29.439
<v Speaker 1>didn't get a taker, really, I'm sure my brother would have.

0:21:30.520 --> 0:21:44.760
<v Speaker 1>I could have gotten somebody. We'll be right back and

0:21:44.920 --> 0:21:49.439
<v Speaker 1>we're back. Could you have a long term relationship with

0:21:49.480 --> 0:21:54.120
<v Speaker 1>someone who is completely different political views than you? Oh?

0:21:54.480 --> 0:21:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Long term? Yeah? Could you be married basically to somebody

0:21:58.840 --> 0:22:03.680
<v Speaker 1>that had opposing plitical views. I really do not think

0:22:03.720 --> 0:22:05.240
<v Speaker 1>I could. I don't think. I don't think I could.

0:22:05.359 --> 0:22:09.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm okay to disagree, but I can't fundamentally and who

0:22:09.680 --> 0:22:14.720
<v Speaker 1>your character, particularly in the past six years. I think

0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:18.560
<v Speaker 1>in the past, for me, I would have been more tolerant.

0:22:18.640 --> 0:22:22.240
<v Speaker 1>We're so stream now we're so polarized. I mean, I'm

0:22:22.280 --> 0:22:28.880
<v Speaker 1>having a hard time with a with friendship because it's

0:22:28.920 --> 0:22:32.560
<v Speaker 1>so I mean, I've I go out of my way

0:22:32.600 --> 0:22:39.480
<v Speaker 1>to absolutely not discuss anything because I don't want it's

0:22:39.520 --> 0:22:44.040
<v Speaker 1>too painful for me. How opposite it's it's like tribal warfare. Now.

0:22:44.119 --> 0:22:47.560
<v Speaker 1>In fact, when George and I first got married, James

0:22:47.640 --> 0:22:52.359
<v Speaker 1>Carvil and Mary Matlin who were famously Republican and a Democrat,

0:22:52.520 --> 0:22:55.400
<v Speaker 1>and they've been married forever. But you know, back then,

0:22:55.520 --> 0:22:58.960
<v Speaker 1>you Democrats, Republicans, you know you could be married and

0:22:59.440 --> 0:23:02.080
<v Speaker 1>sort of have off an ideas about tax breaks. But

0:23:02.240 --> 0:23:06.920
<v Speaker 1>now it's I think it's literally impossible. God, So would

0:23:06.960 --> 0:23:10.240
<v Speaker 1>you pose as a nude model for an art class? Yes,

0:23:11.720 --> 0:23:13.920
<v Speaker 1>I would post for as have you post as a

0:23:14.000 --> 0:23:16.880
<v Speaker 1>nude model for an art Not for an art class,

0:23:16.960 --> 0:23:22.200
<v Speaker 1>but for an artist. Isn't fully nude it was just topless.

0:23:22.280 --> 0:23:29.120
<v Speaker 1>For Robert Graham, who is it? An famous sculpture, incredible sculptor. Yeah, um,

0:23:29.160 --> 0:23:32.200
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't. I'm too. I can't even look at myself

0:23:32.320 --> 0:23:35.119
<v Speaker 1>naked in the mirror, so I can't imagine posing for

0:23:35.720 --> 0:23:37.960
<v Speaker 1>and I listen. I'm always in awe of people that

0:23:38.040 --> 0:23:42.200
<v Speaker 1>do that, that post nude for art classes. Yeah, I

0:23:42.200 --> 0:23:44.359
<v Speaker 1>I did. Um, I'm on the board of the New

0:23:44.400 --> 0:23:48.280
<v Speaker 1>York Academy of Art, and I was. I did the

0:23:48.440 --> 0:23:50.960
<v Speaker 1>drawing party for Take Home a Nude And but I

0:23:51.000 --> 0:23:52.800
<v Speaker 1>didn't have to be fully. I just had like a

0:23:52.800 --> 0:23:57.040
<v Speaker 1>little teeny slip on. They didn't needn't asked me to

0:23:57.080 --> 0:24:00.399
<v Speaker 1>be totally nude. But with for Robert Graham and for

0:24:01.240 --> 0:24:05.520
<v Speaker 1>Frederick Hart, who was also a sculptor who sculpted the

0:24:05.600 --> 0:24:11.439
<v Speaker 1>National Cathedral for him, good for you. No one's asked me,

0:24:11.480 --> 0:24:14.800
<v Speaker 1>not even my husband, to post Do you have a

0:24:14.880 --> 0:24:18.359
<v Speaker 1>hidden body piercing or tattoos? I have no tattoos. I

0:24:18.400 --> 0:24:22.240
<v Speaker 1>have no piercings. Do you you have one tattoo? I

0:24:22.320 --> 0:24:27.440
<v Speaker 1>have three tattoos. You have the Last Supper on your back? Um?

0:24:28.240 --> 0:24:32.199
<v Speaker 1>I have um angel wings on my back. Um, I

0:24:32.240 --> 0:24:36.160
<v Speaker 1>have four tattoos, What are they and why? First one

0:24:36.280 --> 0:24:39.600
<v Speaker 1>was a lily of the valley on my ankle from

0:24:39.600 --> 0:24:42.680
<v Speaker 1>my mom. She always wanted did you get a tattoo

0:24:42.680 --> 0:24:45.439
<v Speaker 1>when you watched her virginity or it's did yeah? I

0:24:45.520 --> 0:24:46.920
<v Speaker 1>checked the bot. It was a little box and a

0:24:47.000 --> 0:24:51.639
<v Speaker 1>chat check um. That was sort of in honor of

0:24:51.680 --> 0:24:53.639
<v Speaker 1>my mom, but also because she always wanted one, she

0:24:53.720 --> 0:24:58.280
<v Speaker 1>never got one. And then Chris and I got matching tattoos.

0:24:58.960 --> 0:25:01.399
<v Speaker 1>Have one right of here on my bikini line, and

0:25:01.480 --> 0:25:04.399
<v Speaker 1>that's the same one he has his arm. She's pointing

0:25:04.440 --> 0:25:07.400
<v Speaker 1>to her private and then h Rowan and I got

0:25:07.400 --> 0:25:11.600
<v Speaker 1>a a ladybook, a lady book on your wrist. Three

0:25:11.640 --> 0:25:14.000
<v Speaker 1>and the fourth one is a proise a prayer that

0:25:14.040 --> 0:25:16.600
<v Speaker 1>I got in Thailand, but it bled, so I'm getting

0:25:16.600 --> 0:25:20.280
<v Speaker 1>it removed. Tell me about tattoos, because I I've I've

0:25:20.320 --> 0:25:23.800
<v Speaker 1>never gotten a tattoo. I don't understand tattoos. I won't

0:25:23.840 --> 0:25:26.240
<v Speaker 1>let my kids get tattoos. I just feel like, if

0:25:26.280 --> 0:25:28.639
<v Speaker 1>you make a mistake, you can't It's it's a lot too,

0:25:28.840 --> 0:25:30.560
<v Speaker 1>it's a lot to undo it. I mean that they're

0:25:30.560 --> 0:25:33.000
<v Speaker 1>in places that sort of are covered, so they don't

0:25:33.480 --> 0:25:36.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't like big big ones. I mean, I think

0:25:36.400 --> 0:25:38.159
<v Speaker 1>you can. I don't know. It's just it's like I

0:25:38.200 --> 0:25:40.479
<v Speaker 1>have multiple piercings to you know what I mean. Like

0:25:41.240 --> 0:25:43.680
<v Speaker 1>that's my idea of being rebellious. I find that so

0:25:43.720 --> 0:25:49.000
<v Speaker 1>fascinating because you were such a famously natural beauty that

0:25:49.119 --> 0:25:52.399
<v Speaker 1>I think I would never I would never touch it.

0:25:53.119 --> 0:25:59.080
<v Speaker 1>I think it felt edgy for me when I when

0:25:59.080 --> 0:26:01.399
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to do it, and it feels badass for

0:26:01.440 --> 0:26:05.119
<v Speaker 1>some stupid reason. I don't. I don't regret them. The

0:26:05.160 --> 0:26:07.400
<v Speaker 1>only one I regret as the prayer. What's the what's

0:26:47.040 --> 0:26:54.200
<v Speaker 1>and then I'm going to ask you anything. Okay, Um,

0:26:54.240 --> 0:26:56.879
<v Speaker 1>if you could have a dream job, what would the

0:26:56.960 --> 0:27:02.719
<v Speaker 1>perfect job environment be? Uh, it's something that I've done before.

0:27:02.880 --> 0:27:07.359
<v Speaker 1>But I would like to write, create, act in a

0:27:07.480 --> 0:27:12.320
<v Speaker 1>piece of film or television. I like having full creative

0:27:12.320 --> 0:27:16.240
<v Speaker 1>control over something. Um. I'm not going to say I'd

0:27:16.280 --> 0:27:18.240
<v Speaker 1>like to be President United States and put everybody back

0:27:18.280 --> 0:27:20.520
<v Speaker 1>on track because I wouldn't know what the hell I

0:27:20.560 --> 0:27:22.119
<v Speaker 1>was doing. But I mean the White House would be

0:27:22.160 --> 0:27:24.679
<v Speaker 1>pretty because I would completely change the fabric and the

0:27:24.680 --> 0:27:28.560
<v Speaker 1>gardens and the carpeting. But I do love you know,

0:27:28.640 --> 0:27:32.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm a creative person and I love to do all

0:27:32.560 --> 0:27:35.960
<v Speaker 1>aspects of it. I love that. That is my a.

0:27:36.520 --> 0:27:42.000
<v Speaker 1>You can't know it's my dream. Can't show my dream

0:27:42.200 --> 0:27:48.639
<v Speaker 1>all right? What is written on Brookshields tombstone? Mine is

0:28:00.600 --> 0:28:04.560
<v Speaker 1>That's nice. That would be It would be great. Um. Okay,

0:28:04.600 --> 0:28:08.240
<v Speaker 1>Now to book and our two podcasts. Your podcast is

0:28:08.240 --> 0:28:11.240
<v Speaker 1>called now What So have you had any now What's

0:28:11.240 --> 0:28:16.199
<v Speaker 1>in your fifties? I have had many, now What's in

0:28:16.200 --> 0:28:20.920
<v Speaker 1>my fifties? But um, the two primary ones were realizing

0:28:20.960 --> 0:28:26.600
<v Speaker 1>that I wanted to start my own company, and really

0:28:26.640 --> 0:28:29.919
<v Speaker 1>sort of walking on the beach one day saying, I

0:28:29.920 --> 0:28:35.119
<v Speaker 1>don't understand why when a woman is over forty, she

0:28:35.320 --> 0:28:38.640
<v Speaker 1>is no longer marketed to in in the world. You're

0:28:38.640 --> 0:28:41.640
<v Speaker 1>either in your twenties or your independs. And I just thought,

0:28:42.240 --> 0:28:45.320
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I'm embodying my own self. I feel stronger,

0:28:45.360 --> 0:28:49.720
<v Speaker 1>I feel ready to begin, and I'm I'm counted out.

0:28:49.920 --> 0:28:53.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm put out to pasture and my now what moment

0:28:53.480 --> 0:28:55.400
<v Speaker 1>is one of the back nine of my life. And

0:28:55.400 --> 0:28:58.560
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to start a company because I wanted to

0:28:58.600 --> 0:29:03.360
<v Speaker 1>build a beauty brand that produced products for women over

0:29:03.440 --> 0:29:06.920
<v Speaker 1>forty that and resources foremen over forty who want to

0:29:06.960 --> 0:29:09.800
<v Speaker 1>start new ventures and new chapters. Listen, we're living so

0:29:09.880 --> 0:29:13.280
<v Speaker 1>much longer now that like we're not even middle aged yet.

0:29:13.960 --> 0:29:16.080
<v Speaker 1>I want to add a media component to it. I

0:29:16.120 --> 0:29:19.239
<v Speaker 1>want to talk about, you know, acting. My favorite thing

0:29:19.400 --> 0:29:23.800
<v Speaker 1>in the world is to do comedy, and I feel

0:29:23.800 --> 0:29:27.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm atrophying without it. And so part of this this

0:29:27.200 --> 0:29:30.080
<v Speaker 1>sort of new version of me, I'm realizing that I

0:29:30.120 --> 0:29:32.760
<v Speaker 1>want to develop and I want to I want to

0:29:32.800 --> 0:29:35.120
<v Speaker 1>be on TV again and doing what I love to do.

0:29:35.920 --> 0:29:41.000
<v Speaker 1>So my now what was? Um, It's it's two things.

0:29:41.160 --> 0:29:44.400
<v Speaker 1>One is, I'm almost an empty nester. I have one

0:29:44.400 --> 0:29:48.880
<v Speaker 1>more at home and I've been thinking about empty nesting.

0:29:49.000 --> 0:29:52.440
<v Speaker 1>And I for my now what, I decided with my husband, George,

0:29:52.440 --> 0:29:56.040
<v Speaker 1>to start a production company because we're both storytellers, and

0:29:56.040 --> 0:30:00.080
<v Speaker 1>we both decided that when our youngest is gone and

0:30:00.160 --> 0:30:02.560
<v Speaker 1>it's just the two of us, what can we do

0:30:02.720 --> 0:30:08.360
<v Speaker 1>together that's creative. Um, he plays chess in golf. I'm

0:30:08.400 --> 0:30:10.560
<v Speaker 1>not interested in either, and nor does he want to

0:30:11.040 --> 0:30:16.440
<v Speaker 1>pick out textiles for pillows. So we started this production

0:30:16.440 --> 0:30:21.040
<v Speaker 1>company and it has been fantastic because we are working

0:30:21.040 --> 0:30:23.360
<v Speaker 1>together in a way that I mean, we've never worked

0:30:23.360 --> 0:30:27.760
<v Speaker 1>together and we're very different. But the idea of storytelling

0:30:28.560 --> 0:30:31.240
<v Speaker 1>has been exciting for both of us. So we He's

0:30:31.240 --> 0:30:33.360
<v Speaker 1>a voracious reader, so we read a lot of books

0:30:33.360 --> 0:30:35.360
<v Speaker 1>and think about, wow, would this be an interesting story

0:30:35.400 --> 0:30:40.719
<v Speaker 1>to tell? So that's my uh fifties now what. And

0:30:42.040 --> 0:30:44.400
<v Speaker 1>I think the other one was I just had my

0:30:44.520 --> 0:30:48.040
<v Speaker 1>mother visit me, and my mother's eighty seven years old,

0:30:48.160 --> 0:30:50.600
<v Speaker 1>and we had this great moment where we were sitting

0:30:50.640 --> 0:30:53.280
<v Speaker 1>and talking and I said, what advice can you give me?

0:30:54.040 --> 0:30:57.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm I'm looking at you and you're this

0:30:57.400 --> 0:30:59.800
<v Speaker 1>still very vibrant eighty seven year old woman. What advice

0:30:59.800 --> 0:31:03.480
<v Speaker 1>can give me? And she said, exercise, exercise, exercise, keep

0:31:03.640 --> 0:31:06.800
<v Speaker 1>your body strong, because when you get to be my

0:31:06.920 --> 0:31:09.760
<v Speaker 1>age and you haven't done that, you know, your body

0:31:09.760 --> 0:31:12.360
<v Speaker 1>starts to break down. You you lose muscle. And so

0:31:12.560 --> 0:31:15.280
<v Speaker 1>that was like a real aha moment to me, like, yes,

0:31:15.440 --> 0:31:18.160
<v Speaker 1>I gotta keep my body strong for balance, for everything.

0:31:18.840 --> 0:31:21.880
<v Speaker 1>And the other thing was, um, she said, keep your

0:31:21.920 --> 0:31:25.320
<v Speaker 1>mind strong. Read a lot, think about a lot. You know,

0:31:25.400 --> 0:31:28.280
<v Speaker 1>they're they're a positive attitude is also really helpful. And

0:31:28.320 --> 0:31:31.880
<v Speaker 1>even though these things sound like such cliche things, when

0:31:31.920 --> 0:31:34.800
<v Speaker 1>you get older, they really make an impact. And so

0:31:35.040 --> 0:31:37.479
<v Speaker 1>my what now is I gotta keep my body strong

0:31:37.560 --> 0:31:41.560
<v Speaker 1>and I gotta keep being curious. Yeah, and that's I mean,

0:31:41.600 --> 0:31:44.160
<v Speaker 1>I when I mother, Now what moments when I broke

0:31:44.200 --> 0:31:47.000
<v Speaker 1>my femur and I had to learn how to walk again,

0:31:47.760 --> 0:31:53.120
<v Speaker 1>And there's my body really showed up for me because

0:31:53.160 --> 0:31:56.160
<v Speaker 1>I work out a lot and have worked out a

0:31:56.160 --> 0:31:58.280
<v Speaker 1>lot and really have you know, and I have very

0:31:58.280 --> 0:32:01.440
<v Speaker 1>strong bone density and everything, and but it just reaffirmed

0:32:02.360 --> 0:32:04.680
<v Speaker 1>I was like, wow, do I just give it all

0:32:04.760 --> 0:32:07.120
<v Speaker 1>up or do I? Now? What what do I do?

0:32:07.280 --> 0:32:11.760
<v Speaker 1>And I just I was avaricious in my rehab and

0:32:11.800 --> 0:32:14.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm you know, I don't have all my mobility yet,

0:32:14.160 --> 0:32:16.760
<v Speaker 1>but you have to make a decision to keep your

0:32:16.960 --> 0:32:19.120
<v Speaker 1>body and your mind. She's right, which I think is

0:32:19.120 --> 0:32:22.160
<v Speaker 1>a big conversation that we need to have at our age,

0:32:22.200 --> 0:32:24.200
<v Speaker 1>which is like, yeah, this is what we need to do.

0:32:24.280 --> 0:32:26.680
<v Speaker 1>No one talks about. It's so secretive, but like, yeah,

0:32:26.800 --> 0:32:30.440
<v Speaker 1>be strong, swim lelaps, go for walks, you know, read,

0:32:30.520 --> 0:32:35.040
