16
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 1: on my way home from work and I literally had

17
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: to start going a different way because I was like,

18
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: I can't. I just can't, like pull over for six

19
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,399

Speaker 1: of this book in a time when people need some

34
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: joy in the realist way.

35
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. Thanks, Yeah.

36
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, we can't say that that was all part of

37
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 3: a master plan, but it feels like now, yeah, it

38
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 3: feels like.

39
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: There's a little something kismet to it.

40
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

41
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: Normally I like to ask people to kind of take

42
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 1: us and our audience back, because everybody knows what you've

43
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: been up to and what you are up to. But

44
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: I have a little twist on the question. Not just

45
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: would your adult self recognize a version of her in

46
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: your eight year old self, and vice versa. But I'm

47
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: actually really curious what you think your eight year old

48
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: selves would think about you grown up gals as expert

49
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: party people. Were they party persons too?

50
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 3: We actually were talking last night at dinner about how

51
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 3: we would give basically anything. There's no sum of money

52
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 3: that would be too much to go back and be

53
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 3: eight years old at the same time play.

54
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 4: Together, and like how would we get along as kids,

55
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:16,839
Speaker 4: and like what would we do?

56
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 2: It would be so much.

57
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 4: Fun to play pretend yes, and like make mud pies.

58
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 4: I'm sure we would cook stuff up in the kitchen.

59
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 4: We'd probably throw parties.

60
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was.

61
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 3: I was definitely a party person because my mother, she's

62
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 3: an event planner. At that time, she wasn't getting paid

63
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 3: to do this type of stuff. It was just how

64
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 3: her love language is throwing elaborate parties and making really

65
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 3: wild memories.

66
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 2: So I grew up.

67
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 3: With my seventh birthday, she turned their chiropractic office into

68
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 3: a casino, and all of my friends more cocktail dresses,

69
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 3: and all the parents were the cocktail waiters and waitresses,

70
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 3: and we played ochre and craps and it was like

71
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 3: lucky number seven birthday. My eighth birthday party was like

72
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 3: a two day Indiana Jones scavenger hunt. He's just always

73
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 3: had this really magical mind. So I grew up thinking that,

74
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 3: you know, hearing that your grandparents spent three months paper

75
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 3: machining you a giant boulder that's going to chase you

76
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 3: at your birthday party. Jones was like, normal, that's like

77
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 3: what you That's just normal, right, And now I know

78
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 3: that that's not the case, and so I think that, Yeah.

79
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 3: I was always a party person, whether that was.

80
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 2: My thing or not. You know, luckily that was.

81
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 3: I was never the type of person that was like, no,

82
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 3: don't celebrate my birthday, like I think celebration is everything.

83
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh big time.

84
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 4: I was like I was a kid that was in

85
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 4: the kitchen, like waking up before my parents and like

86
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 4: sneaking into the kitchen and just like making them breakfast

87
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 4: in bed. That would just be a huge mess and

88
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 4: bring it team like nah, and then I would come

89
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 4: up with like we'd like one of the things I

90
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 4: love to make the most I called black Pepper hot dogs,

91
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 4: which was just getting a hot dog and like cutting

92
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 4: it into bits, putting it into a skillet and like

93
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 4: pouring so much black pepper on it that you couldn't

94
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 4: even tell they were hot dogs anymore. And then I

95
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 4: would give that to them and my parents were so

96
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 4: nice they would eat it be like, hmm, this is

97
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 4: this is the best thing I've ever had. So that's

98
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 4: the beginning of my culinary career in general. So yeah,

99
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 4: I think little me would be very stoked to know

100
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 4: that I had turned it into an actual career.

101
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think this has felt like one of the

102
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 3: most natural.

103
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 2: Things I've done.

104
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 3: It's it's also you know, being an actor. A lot

105
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 3: of stuff is like you're trying to tap into universal

106
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 3: emotions and sometimes like it's nostalgia, and that food is

107
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 3: as well, Like food is such a direct line to

108
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 3: our hearts, into our memories and to comfort. So the

109
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 3: two of us together is one of our inspirations. Was

110
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 3: like the gatherings that have meant so much to us

111
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 3: in our life and also the foods. So we were

112
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 3: able to put like a lot of our family recipes

113
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 3: in there. It was super fun to like talk with

114
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 3: my grandma about and try and figure out what her

115
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 3: recipes are, because she's one of those cooks that it's

116
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 3: by feel. She makes pies so many year and it's

117
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 3: by feel, and so trying to translate that and decode

118
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 3: her pomegranate jelly and like decode my mom's peach chicken

119
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 3: recipe was such a lovely it was an honor to do,

120
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 3: and like the gift of our families that were passing

121
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 3: on and hoping to inspire.

122
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: That's really beautiful. And you know, it's interesting you brought up,

123
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 1: especially the sort of unique experience of being an actor,

124
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: because you know, whether it's doing the things on camera

125
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: that we do or translating recipes for people, you're telling

126
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: a story, And when you guys were kind of going

127
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: back and forth with that part of your story, it

128
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: made me realize, anywhere I've ever gone on location, the

129
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: first thing I want to do is dive into the

130
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: food scene. That's how I feel like I get to

131
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: know a place. That's how I get to know people.

132
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: That's how I wind up making friends. Is like the

133
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: other folks who are really excited about that. Do you

134
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: feel like that tracks especially for you having to travel

135
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: so much for work that you feel a sense of home.

136
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: You know, you could be in Calgary or Australia. But

137
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: if you throw a party on a Saturday for your

138
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: new coworkers and your crew, suddenly everyone's in a really convivial,

139
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: familial environment and the vibe shifts to your point to

140
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: beginning to create.

141
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 3: Nostalgia absolutely well. And it also became a huge important

142
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 3: aspect of press tours.

143
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 2: You know, people know when actors.

144
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 3: Are on press fors usually because you're like wearing outfits

145
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 3: and there's photos on the red carpet. I had done it,

146
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 3: Like the first time I did it, it felt like

147
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 3: this whirlwind and I basically only saw the hotel and

148
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 3: the airport because every twenty four hours you're flying to

149
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 3: a new country. And I was really disappointed with myself

150
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 3: the first time because.

151
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 2: There was no time to enjoy the culture.

152
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 3: So you're going to Mexico City and they're like, what

153
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 3: do you think.

154
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 2: Of our where we live.

155
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 3: Of our country that we love so much, And You're like,

156
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 3: I saw the airport. I'm so sorry.

157
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 2: And after that first time, I.

158
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 3: Was like, I'm never doing that again because I'm not

159
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 3: traveling across.

160
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 2: The globe and going to the most.

161
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 3: Incredible places and then spending you know, ten hours talking

162
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 3: with various people and not having say about where I am.

163
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 3: So my rule is for every stop on the press door,

164
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 3: I have to have room to do street food, fancy restaurant,

165
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 3: and an art museum and like there's just enough time

166
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 3: to do that, and then you have so much to

167
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 3: connect with people over and you learned so much.

168
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 2: You learned so much much about cultures.

169
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 3: And my other rule is unless this is like some

170
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 3: sort of very special situation at a hotel, no hotel food,

171
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 3: So it's lunch, We're going to get stuff delivered that's

172
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 3: from like whoever your guide is there like this secret

173
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 3: spot and it's just a way of understanding tradition and

174
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 3: culture and you feel grounded to your point. It's like

175
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 3: you suddenly, oh, I know where I am right now,

176
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 3: and we have to figure that out for ourselves, you know,

177
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 3: because nobody necessarily needs us to be grounded at any

178
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 3: given moment, but I prefer it. So you can't be

179
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 3: around friends and family, then you got to like pull

180
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 3: people in and like literally where you are.

181
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: And then you get to have a human experience. You

182
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: don't feel like a robot. Something that struck me going

183
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: through the book, I was like, oh man, this feels

184
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: some of the vibe some of the photos. It made

185
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: me think of my own memories, It made me think

186
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: of gatherings with friends, It made me think about favorite meals,

187
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: and it really made me think a lot. And I

188
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: bet you to love her book Pria Parker's book The

189
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:17,239
Speaker 1: Art of Gathering the way she talks about how important

190
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: it is not just for memory making, but for our

191
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: being to be with people, to experience tradition, to do

192
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: exactly what you're saying, like get out and get to

193
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: know a place. Suddenly, then it's not this two dimensional thing.

194
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: You're living in a three dimensional world. It it feels

195
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: like this really special universal importance. And then, like you

196
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: both said, you put really specific personal stories with your

197
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 1: family recipes, and you know, these these tales that are

198
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: important to you that then get to become important to

199
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: other people. Someone might say like, oh, I want to

200
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: make that peach chicken for my family, and then it

201
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: goes out in the world and the ripple effect really spreads.

202
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: How do you guys think about that, knowing what you've

203
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: made if you kind of do like the movie scene

204
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: where everything stops and then rewinds in high speed, like

205
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: to the moment you met because you met over food. Right,

206
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: you met at a party.

207
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 2: You met at a party.

208
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: Okay, can you tell our friends at home that story?

209
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course. It was a friend of ours.

210
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 4: It was like it was like a it was a

211
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 4: Hillary Clinton presidential debate party.

212
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 2: So it was years and years and years ago.

213
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 4: It was at a friend of ours house and I

214
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 4: was making caeso and it was like still, which is

215
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 4: like a I'm from Texas. It's like a very the

216
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 4: most texting thing you would have. It's not like Casey,

217
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 4: It's the best thing in the world to be clear.

218
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 2: To be liquid that way.

219
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

220
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 2: So I was making I.

221
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 4: Have like a really there's a recipe and the recipes

222
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 4: in the book anyway, So I was making it, but

223
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 4: I wasn't done yet, and then Bree comes in and

224
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 4: she's like hey everyone, and we hadn't met before, and

225
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 4: you know, she came over and introduced herself. Hey I'm Courtney,

226
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 4: and she's like what's this and like just grabs a

227
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:10,839
Speaker 4: chip from the table and I sticks an into the

228
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 4: pot and eats it, and I was like, I know

229
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 4: we're going to get along great.

230
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 2: And it was, you know, love at first bite. I

231
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 2: think it's that.

232
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that so much. It was that it

233
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: took me two years into a show for my dear friend,

234
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: like one of my best friends that I meant, made

235
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: on that show to tell me that he hates when

236
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: people eat off his plate. And I was like, what,

237
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: you know, I come from a big, loud Italian family.

238
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: I've never not taken a bite of food off someone

239
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: else's plate. And I had been eating off my sweet

240
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: coworker's plate for two years. And he finally was like,

241
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: I'm really proud of myself because our friendship has helped

242
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: me get over that I hate that. And I was like, huh.

243
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: And then I had that story in your book. I

244
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 1: literally like took a picture of it and sent it

245
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: to him and I said, oh my god, we were

246
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: love it first bite too.

247
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 3: It was so sweet, ironically linked in that way.

248
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, anyone who has a passion for food in that

249
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 4: way is always a plus in my book.

250
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll be back in just a minute after a

251
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: few words from our favorite sponsors. When you two decided

252
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: to do this book, I mean, how did you know

253
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: that your love of you know, first of all your friendship,

254
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: so your love of each other, but then your love

255
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: of hosting and food and all these things was meant

256
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: to be packaged up and put out into the world

257
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: for other people to bring into their homes. Like how

258
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 1: does it hit you.

259
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 3: Well, it kind of hit and a roundabout way, which

260
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 3: is that I did this show lessons in chemistry that

261
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 3: is very food centric, and the food is another character

262
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 3: in this. You know, normally, when I think about a character,

263
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 3: you think about how they're dressing and maybe their home

264
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 3: that they live in, their hair, make up, all of that,

265
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 3: but this was like food was another element of how

266
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 3: Elizabeth expresses herself and shows who she is. And I

267
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 3: just knew that Courtney was the right person to do it.

268
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 3: And even though that wasn't something that you had ever

269
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 3: done specifically, you had all of the pieces of the

270
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 3: skill set, you basically had done it. Yeah, but it's

271
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 3: really the first time that I've ever worked closely with

272
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 3: a close friend, Like at work, I've done podcasts with friends,

273
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 3: I've done ventures, right, But like the thing about being

274
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 3: on set I've always held very sacred is that, like

275
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 3: I don't usually want people that I know around because

276
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 3: I feel like it shines a spotlight on the fact that,

277
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 3: like I'm playing pretent and so I usually just like

278
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 3: like nothing around, like I haven't forbid my mom was

279
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 3: ever there, I'd be like, oh my god, she knows

280
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 3: I'm lying. So I usually keep that private, but were there.

281
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 3: It was so much fun and we got so much

282
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 3: delight in seeing each other work, Like I want to

283
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 3: see a side of her that I never get to see.

284
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 3: She got to see a side of me. And then

285
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 3: also like she was my hand double. So sometimes we'd

286
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 3: be wearing like the same outfit and.

287
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 2: It was just very child funny. It made me.

288
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 3: Feel very That whole set was very cozy, and like

289
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 3: having her there was very cozy and fun and collaborative.

290
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 3: And so once that came to a clothes we were like, well, geez,

291
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 3: like I want to keep working with you.

292
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 2: I want to keep figuring this out.

293
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 3: And the natural thing was like, well, what if we

294
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 3: did a book? And when you think about, you know,

295
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 3: this the big wide world of books, how many there

296
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 3: are in the world, And for both of us, neither

297
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 3: of us feel the need to say anything unless we

298
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 3: feel like you really ought to say it. You know,

299
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 3: we don't need to clog up the world with just talking.

300
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 3: And so when we got into it, of like, well,

301
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 3: how if we put these recipes? We knew we wanted

302
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 3: family recipes in it, but how do you organize it?

303
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 3: And as we reduced it, we realize that that who

304
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 3: we are is party people. Like we are the ones

305
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 3: that are like, come over it this day we're doing

306
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 3: Game of Thrones viewing parties, or yes, we the other

307
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 3: day we're like, we're doing a spelling bee. Come on

308
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 3: over and I'm going to figure out how to run

309
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 3: a spelling bee, an adult spelling bee.

310
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 2: It's called the average Adult.

311
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 3: It was called the first, first ever, and possibly last,

312
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 3: average adult spelling bee.

313
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 2: It was incredible.

314
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 3: So we are those people, and so because we've done

315
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 3: it so much, the main thing that we talked about

316
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 3: was like, you can make the most amazing thing in

317
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 3: the world, but if it stops you from being present,

318
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 3: and like your best friend comes over and starts saying like,

319
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 3: oh my god, I'm having such a hard time right now,

320
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 3: and you're like, uh huh huh, and then you realize, yeah.

321
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 2: It's not a party anymore.

322
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 3: That's you being of service to everybody, which is a

323
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 3: lovely thing. But like the memories are for everybody, including

324
00:16:58,800 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 3: the host.

325
00:16:59,320 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

326
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 3: We then spend a bunch of time talking through Okay,

327
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,199
Speaker 3: so if we broke it down a type of party,

328
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 3: what would be the things that you could do to

329
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 3: make this kind of hackable and still still be beautiful,

330
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 3: still be impressive, but the focus being on interaction with

331
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 3: your guests versus.

332
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, and giving people permission to like again hack it,

333
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 4: you know, and not not take it so seriously.

334
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 2: Not feel like you have to make every single thing

335
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 2: from scratch.

336
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 4: Maybe you just take one recipe from the book and

337
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 4: you order pizza, or like you can tell.

338
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 3: Your friend to make something and or get compostable plates. Yeah,

339
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 3: you don't have a big on that, and like if

340
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 3: you can if part of it is like I really

341
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 3: want to throw a dinner party, but I just it

342
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 3: really drives me crazy to then spend two hours after

343
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 3: cleaning up figure it out, Like I love that.

344
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 2: There people who like to clean.

345
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love I love a compostable plate. Why not?

346
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: And that's what's really nice. Like going through the book,

347
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: it feels kind of like a shift that I think

348
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: is reflected in society at the moment where women in

349
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: our peer group are like, look, our moms are great.

350
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: They crushed, but also they never had fun when they

351
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: were hosting. You know, you realize, like our moms were

352
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: those women who couldn't get their own credit cards until

353
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy four. The generational shift, the divide is big,

354
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 1: and the idea that you can be your own modern

355
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 1: Martha Stewart. But you don't have to miss the party

356
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 1: you're throwing. You actually get to be in it. It

357
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: sounds obvious, but it hasn't been for so long. There

358
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: aren't many books that teach you to do that. And

359
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 1: in reading yours, I was like, this is exactly what

360
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:53,360
Speaker 1: our friends need. We deserve this, Yeah, we do deserve it.

361
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 4: Yeah.

362
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

363
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 2: It's basically been.

364
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 3: Like you're gonna make a mess and and something yeah hurt,

365
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 3: And like I actually think all of these are like

366
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 3: interesting psychological opportunities to get to know ourselves and.

367
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 2: Our loved ones.

368
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 3: Like we're saying, it's not actually about trying to hold

369
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 3: it all together for Christmas. It's like having a laugh

370
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 3: because you spilled something, you know, flaxing a little bit

371
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 3: into it and allowing the party to be the place

372
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 3: where you can explore where.

373
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 2: You're a little rough around the edges.

374
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 3: Yea.

375
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 4: And we talk about in the book like parties are

376
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 4: like liminal spaces that have space for.

377
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 2: Grace, and like I think it's such a.

378
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,959
Speaker 4: Shame based culture now that like it's important to have

379
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 4: these parties and to give people grace. If someone like

380
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 4: messes up and says the wrong thing or puts their

381
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 4: foot in their mouth or.

382
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 2: Like whatever, like that's okay.

383
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 4: Like you have any breaks and you kind of like

384
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 4: danced on the table and fell off, that's okay. You

385
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 4: don't have to be ashamed about it, you know, like living,

386
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 4: we all make mistakes, we all do stuff, we burn

387
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 4: the soufle we have one.

388
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 2: Yeah whatever, it's okay.

389
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. It's a reminder to not be so afraid of

390
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: being to use the gen Z Kids term, like, don't

391
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: be afraid of being cringe. Just let the mess be

392
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 1: part of the magic exactly, Because if you're so measured

393
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: that you're afraid to make a mess, are you really

394
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: having fun in the first place?

395
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 2: I would argue, No, you're not.

396
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, what do you think you two learned about

397
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,880
Speaker 1: yourselves from cooking with each other so much to collaborate

398
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:29,479
Speaker 1: on the book.

399
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 2: I learned what a control freak? I really truly I

400
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 2: learned that too.

401
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think, you know, the thing about

402
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 3: going on this book journey is it's different than just

403
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 3: writing a manuscript. There's like there's the words, which then

404
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 3: there's the recipe words. Then there's all of the photos

405
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 3: in the photo styling, and then there's stories in it,

406
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 3: and all of that together. It's like a multifaceted art piece.

407
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 3: And I realized that we care a lot about what

408
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 3: we're really trying to say underneath all of this, like

409
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 3: that there's like post in this. It's not just it's

410
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 3: a book you can actually read too.

411
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 2: That's the other part.

412
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 3: It's not just like you're gonna flip it open. I

413
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 3: look at some recipes. There's like a lot of archival

414
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 3: photos from our actual parties over the years and essays

415
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 3: and all of these things.

416
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 2: But I think that.

417
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 3: We care a lot, and we both care a lot

418
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 3: in the same kind of way, which is really helpful. Yeah,

419
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 3: we put everything we had into this, and I also

420
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 3: learned that I really like working with Courtney still. Yeah,

421
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 3: you know, I think it's a really rare thing to

422
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,360
Speaker 3: be like we are great, you know, And I think

423
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 3: of anybody who's out there that's like interested in having

424
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 3: like a functional relationship with a loved one or best friend.

425
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 3: I think that one of the best things that we

426
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 3: established at the beginning was that we would talk through everything,

427
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 3: and also that we do check ins, which I got

428
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 3: from another friend who was like, do like whatever you

429
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 3: want once a week, every two weeks, once a month,

430
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 3: you do a how's our friendship going conversation.

431
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 4: We're both terrified. We're like, hey, is this like the

432
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 4: most important thing to me? And Debris is like, hey,

433
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 4: our friendship is the most important thing, Like, yes, this

434
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,239
Speaker 4: book is awesome together, but like, you know, it's so

435
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,360
Speaker 4: easy for things to get messy when you start like working,

436
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 4: you know, contracts and money and so yeah, and so

437
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 4: like we were like straight up the very beginning, like

438
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 4: both recognize we're how terrified we were, like that it

439
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 4: was going to do something weird to our friendship.

440
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: But totally Yeah, it's still good.

441
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 2: I would say even stronger.

442
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 3: I would say even stronger than before.

443
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

444
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 1: I love that I work with my best friend too,

445
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 1: And it's really interesting because we had a lot of

446
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: that similar experience. And I think when you figure out

447
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: all of your skill sets, not only as individual people,

448
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: but the skill sets of your partnership, there's like the

449
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: you and the her and the Wei. You know, so

450
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: it's so and when the Wii has its own skill

451
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: set and you figure out how to communicate around you know,

452
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: what might be lacking and then bolster what authentically or

453
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: instinctively does so well. I mean, I don't know about

454
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: you too, but it's like sometimes we look at each

455
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:25,919
Speaker 1: other and we're like, oh my god, we're best friends

456
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: and we're crushing. We're cute, Like we're so lucky. Like

457
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: you two are so cute. I love it.

458
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 3: We finished our day yesterday taking ourselves out to dinner

459
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 3: and we played Monopoly Deal any dinner.

460
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: Oh god, I love it.

461
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 3: We're laughing so hard and like we're both so tired.

462
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 3: I made the biggest mess at our table. I like

463
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 3: knocked over the toy sauce. I've flung a lime across.

464
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 2: The rooverid water like on this.

465
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I love my I love water on the booth.

466
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 2: I don't know why I did that.

467
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 3: I'm out of my but know it's just an amazing

468
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 3: thing that Also, like at the end of a long workday,

469
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 3: we're like, let's play games, and we're going to do

470
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 3: that again tonight. Yeah, it's a very special thing. And

471
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 3: I think part of it is you have to have

472
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 3: the courage to say that you're not going to be

473
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 3: afraid of any conversation that's going to come up that

474
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 3: might make you uncomfortable, and that all has to go

475
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 3: out of the window because those conversations are more important

476
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 3: than like having secret resentments.

477
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 4: That secret resentments will totally kill the vibe.

478
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 2: They kill the party. Yeah, yeah, that's party pop.

479
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: A secret resentment almost feels like a ghastly happening with

480
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: your stove, like you don't really know what's happening until

481
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: it might blow up your house, and then it's very,

482
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: very bad. There's just no reason to let it start.

483
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 2: Yeah.

484
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: I'm also really curious and Bree, especially for you, And

485
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: I think I think I the question came to me

486
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: because I thought about, you know, how we know each other,

487
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 1: like activism, spaces, standing up for women, supporting equal pay,

488
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: you know these things that are so incredibly important. And

489
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: I realized when I got into a relationship with my partner,

490
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: we'd known each other for a long time, but not

491
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: you know, in the every day and she was like, you,

492
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: I used to think you were the most serious person.

493
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: You're nuts, You're like so fun, You're so quirky, You're weird,

494
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: Like why aren't you more weird in the world? And

495
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: I was like aren't I? I think I'm weird all the time.

496
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: And I started to realize, you know, as so many

497
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 1: of us are. When you're running around and doing the

498
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 1: work and you have a moment, you're going to say

499
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 1: the important thing, You're going to try to elevate, you know,

500
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 1: the serious thing. And there's nothing wrong with that. I mean,

501
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 1: obviously it's a gift, and it's such a privilege of

502
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 1: you know, the spectrum of our industry, But does it

503
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:03,719
Speaker 1: kind of feel really fun for you to be not

504
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: just you know, Bray Larson an Academy Award winner and

505
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: a superhero and a and an activist, but like to

506
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: look around and be like, you, guys, I'm really fun.

507
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: My world is cool. I throw spelling bees like I'm quirky. Yeah,

508
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 1: because I love it for you, and I'm I've been

509
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: watching you and being like I need to text her

510
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: and just be like this. This feels like a new

511
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: kind of permission slip.

512
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 4: Yeah.

513
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 3: I think that's a good point. I mean, I think

514
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 3: of what you're talking about. If I'm understanding your point

515
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 3: of view on it is that I just feel like

516
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 3: there's a lot of chatter in the world, and yeah,

517
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 3: isn't something I need to say.

518
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 2: I don't need to inject myself in times.

519
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 3: I'm not somebody that needs to be on the internet

520
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 3: and be like remember me, like.

521
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 2: I'm living, I'm doing my thing, and I ploy my life.

522
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 3: And so I think because from an artistic standpoint in

523
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 3: my life has become so blurred with what that really means.

524
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 3: When you become like a public person, it's sort of

525
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 3: like what is that exactly? But like it's like, of course,

526
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 3: if I'm promoting a movie, then you're doing that, and

527
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 3: that comes with its own let's be real, it comes

528
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 3: with its own layer of protection that you have to

529
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 3: put on yourself because you have no idea what's going

530
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 3: to get taken out of context and then like, oh,

531
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 3: fund something got taken out of context and I'm mid

532
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 3: press tour and now I have to try and avoid

533
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 3: adding fuel to the fire for the next three weeks.

534
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 2: So play this game where you're.

535
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:37,719
Speaker 3: Just like trying to edge around and still desperately.

536
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 2: Dying to be yourself.

537
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 3: Always anybody is trying to not be themselves it's just

538
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 3: really hard and vulnerable. Yeah, and so I think with

539
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 3: this book, it gave me the way to feel like

540
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 3: this was something we're saying. Yeah that like this part

541
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 3: of me that has been with me this whole time.

542
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 3: I think together we were able to find what that means.

543
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 3: And so it's not just me trying to be a

544
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 3: goofball online. It's like it feels it feels like it's

545
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 3: for something. And maybe I'm also just getting older and

546
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 3: I just I don't care as much about that, and

547
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 3: like I have just enough being misunderstood things where I'm like, well,

548
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 3: I don't know, you know, it's just.

549
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 1: Totally and whatever.

550
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 3: You know, I think I believe what I'm saying more

551
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 3: than the fear of being misunderstood.

552
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that for you. I guess for me,

553
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: I had this kind of aha moment where very similarly

554
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: to what you just said, I was like, I'm just

555
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: I'm living my life and when I'm having a good time,

556
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: I usually don't have a phone out. And then oh,

557
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: I guess maybe the heavier stuff might feel more weighted

558
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: in the public space. But what I'm realizing is the

559
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: sort of freedom I'm observing as a reader of your

560
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: book with both of you and then thinking about it

561
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: in the ways I know you specifically is that, Yeah,

562
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: you got to do exactly what you wanted and say

563
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,719
Speaker 1: exactly what you wanted, but you got to put it

564
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: in print. You didn't have to worry about how someone

565
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: was going to clip an interview or nab a SoundBite

566
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: or any of the crazy part that you're talking about.

567
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: You got to lean into something that is totally artistic,

568
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: totally free rooted in the friendship between the two of

569
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: you that jumps off the page in the most special way.

570
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: Like I called my best friend and I was like,

571
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: oh my god, we're going to do this party and

572
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: we're going to do this way, you know, and I

573
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: don't know. It's like, I'm so overjoyed for you with

574
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: the project and then all the stuff that feels really

575
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: apparent about the freedom underneath it. I'm just really happy

576
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: for you both. It's very cool. Thank you, And now

577
00:29:52,800 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: a word from our wonderful sponsors. Okay, I have a

578
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: couple of like quick not exactly lightning round, but like

579
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: you're the hostesses with the most test So I have

580
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: a few specific party questions for you. In your opinion,

581
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: what do you think is the ideal party size?

582
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 2: Well, I think it very much depends on the party, okay.

583
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 4: But I think for like an intimate like dinner party

584
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 4: at home vibes or a casual party, I like to

585
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 4: say like eight to ten couple.

586
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: Me too, okay. And what about a big party if

587
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,959
Speaker 1: you were going to throw a fortieth birthday for someone

588
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: or something? Yeah, are spelling be whatever?

589
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 2: No limits? This guy's the limit. I mean. Then it

590
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 2: depends on your venue.

591
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 3: And by venue, I mean how many people do you

592
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 3: want in your house at one time?

593
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 2: Right?

594
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 3: How much can can the center hold? Is my and

595
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:56,959
Speaker 3: how much are you willing to spend? Because more people

596
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 3: is more expensive.

597
00:30:58,240 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: It's it's more mess.

598
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 2: It's true. All of that stuff is true.

599
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 3: But you also I think that doing we do like

600
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 3: bigger parties, like what we're talking about, like seventy people,

601
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 3: like twice a year.

602
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

603
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 3: So I feel like you've got to mentally get your

604
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 3: mind around. Like I was saying to Courtney yesterday, I

605
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 3: was like, people need to understand that there's a reason

606
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:23,479
Speaker 3: why Thanksgiving happens once a year. Yes, So I think

607
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 3: when people go, oh, I just it seems so overwhelming

608
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 3: to have a dinner party. I'm like, dinner parties are

609
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 3: not Thanksgiving.

610
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 2: That is not fine China. It is not like.

611
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 3: You're roasting a turkey and like stressing about it all day.

612
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 3: It is not like people who maybe bring you stress,

613
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 3: like it's not.

614
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 2: Meant to be that.

615
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 3: This is like do what you can kind of thing.

616
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 3: And then if you are the type of person that

617
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 3: really wants to experience or enjoys being like we talked

618
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 3: with someone yesterday who's like, oh, I cut a turkey

619
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 3: in fours and one fourth each goes to a different

620
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 3: country and they're prepared different ways, and I'm like, that's fantastic.

621
00:31:58,040 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 2: I can't imagine doing that monthly, but.

622
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 3: Near that works, you know, Yeah, we do like or

623
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 3: twice a year we do a murder mystery party and

624
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 3: we have a hot These are or twice a year

625
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 3: or once. These these are my our two events for

626
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 3: the year. Truly, couldn't do them more than that. But

627
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 3: then you're doing like a backyard party where you're making

628
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 3: pizzas and doing a spelling me what do you have

629
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 3: bandwidth for?

630
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: Right? Okay, so that leans into my next question, which

631
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 1: is what would you each say is the best reason

632
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: to throw a party, but maybe that's bandwidth specific.

633
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 3: I think that there's no idea too small for a party. Yeah,

634
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 3: literally any reason, and it's fine.

635
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 4: Like I think you were mentioning yesterday, like like you

636
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 4: can just throw a dinner party. It's like the thing

637
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 4: that you can make that's so easy for you to

638
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 4: make and invite your people over and be like, hey,

639
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 4: wear something that like you've always wanted to wear but never.

640
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 2: Get to wear, and like that's not so easy. And

641
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 2: people will jump on that because everyone.

642
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 3: Has closet that they want to wear.

643
00:32:58,360 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 2: They where am I going to wear?

644
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 3: Are this?

645
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 1: I am obsessed with that. I have a good one

646
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: for you. My friends did this two years ago and

647
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: it crushed. They threw a Halloween party where you were

648
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: supposed to dress up as what you wanted to be

649
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: when you were a kid.

650
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 2: Love that, Oh, I love that.

651
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: It was such a good theme.

652
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 3: I love even I love a specific themed event during

653
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,880

Speaker 2: I feel like live when you want to live.

664
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,360

00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 2: no rules, there's no literally zero rules.

677
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 1: It turns out yeah, okay, maybe not a rule, But

678
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:35,439
Speaker 1: what about a tip? What would you say, particularly because

679
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: you two host so often, is a good tip for

680
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 1: being a better party guest?

681
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 2: Mm? Hmmm, I think.

682
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 4: I mean, I love it when a party guests is like,

683
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 4: can I help you clean? And even if it's just

684
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 4: a little bit like I'm not saying like put all

685
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 4: your guests to work, but like even if it's just like, hey,

686
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 4: I'm going to take this plate that I just ate

687
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 4: off of and if it's composable, put it in the

688
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 4: compost bin, or if it's if it's not composable, like

689
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 4: give it a rintse and put it in the dishwasher.

690
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 4: Like that that I find to be very nice.

691
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 2: We love.

692
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 3: We love a guest who maybe like two hours before

693
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:19,760
Speaker 3: the party says, can I bring anything? Because sure forgot something?

694
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 3: You can you can bet that we've already run out

695
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 3: of ice.

696
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, extra ice always a hit.

697
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 3: Ice is like when in doubt, bring ice. And I

698
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 3: like to bring like a dustial bottle of wine, which

699
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 3: is also like that's fine, but I really feel like

700
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 3: bubbly water and ice is like no one them had

701
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 3: that you brought that, And I agree with Courtney, like

702
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 3: figure out.

703
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 2: I'd say.

704
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 3: The other tip is find the friend who really enjoys

705
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:51,760
Speaker 3: cleaning or doing the dishes, because they exist, They totally exist.

706
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 2: And I usual monthly to me.

707
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 3: And I had a friend who was always invited to

708
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 3: that dinner party because loved doing the dishes at the

709
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:00,960

Speaker 1: Yep, she's in there.

757
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 4: I would say I'm a combo of depending on my

758
00:37:56,200 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 4: mood of party animal and the know it all I'm

759
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:07,600

760
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: Perfect. I like a party zodiac.

761
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 2: You know which one you are? Have you thought about it.

762
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: I have in going through it and for our friends

763
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 1: at home. There's a really fun section in the book

764
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:26,800
Speaker 1: where the gals identify the party person archetypes, which include

765
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: the party animal, which often is me. I'm like, turn

766
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,919

767
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,000

768
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 1: we make a memory tonight, then we get to talk

769
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 1: about it.

Speaker 1: a shy one, there's a.

774
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 4: Helper, a classic party archetype, someone who has the top

775
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:54,440

Speaker 2: Oh yeah, planning a pop star Halloween.

799
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 3: I have our friends already that I was like, because

Speaker 3: Her house is the best place for trigger treaters.

803
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 2: It's super cute.

804
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 3: And so it's like, I never want.

805
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 2: To take away.

806
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 3: I want more, not less. I don't want to have people.

807
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 3: So I was thinking that I would do something earlier

808
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 3: and it would.

809
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 2: Be specifically pop stars.

811
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:32,760
Speaker 2: She's trying to make me be Taylor Swift.

813
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:39,879
Speaker 3: Yes, No, it's all kind of planned out.

814
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 4: It's figured out well, I said, I wanted to be

815
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 4: Madonna from the eighties though, but I was saying she could.

816
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 3: I haven't decided yet. If I'm going to open it up,

817
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 3: it's time to say. It was just yah, here's girlies,

818
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,439
Speaker 3: which it makes sense that that's it's funny, it's good,

819
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 3: it's good. I don't know exactly. We honestly have so

820
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 3: many parties were throwing before Halloween that it's kind of like,

821
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 3: right now we're really planning we do a hot dog festival.

822
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:06,399
Speaker 2: So that's yeah.

823
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 1: By the way, can you tell me a little bit

824
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: about this.

825
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 3: I have a video I need to send to you.

826
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:18,399
Speaker 1: I recently had the travel day from Hell, and after

827
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 1: fourteen hours at the airport, wound up on a red

828
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: eye and I had a hot dog before I got

829
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 1: on my red eye, and then I landed for work

830
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: and walked outside at lunchtime to get some sunshine, and

831
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: there was a hot dog stand and I was like,

832
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: it's meant to be, Like, this is the universe apologizing

833
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 1: to me for this day. So I had gone to

834
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 1: bed with a hot dog and then woken up essentially

835
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,879
Speaker 1: with a hot dog dream. And it feels as though

836
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:41,879
Speaker 1: perhaps that happened to me. So we could talk about

837
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 1: hot dogs.

838
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 3: That's right, I think. So it was to remind you

839
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 3: that the hot dogs are unsung.

840
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:48,839
Speaker 2: They're the best food everyone.

841
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:50,800
Speaker 1: The best food.

842
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 3: I've never met a person, It's true.

843
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 2: It's true. Even the vegetarians and vigas.

844
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, they like an impossible dog.

845
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:01,399
Speaker 2: Yeah.

846
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 3: So this is the fourth annual hot Dog Festival and

847
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 3: we just get a bunch of hot dogs.

848
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,839
Speaker 1: But is there is there a dress code? Is there?

849
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 1: Is there any Is there any theme past love a

850
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:14,919
Speaker 1: hot dog?

Speaker 2: Show up hot dog?

852
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 3: My stepdad dresses as a hot dog. There's hot dog trivia.

853
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 3: We're also this year doing a hot dog dressing contest.

854
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,320
Speaker 3: So you dress up a dog and we vote on

855
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 3: which one is the best.

856
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 2: Which is the hottest dog? Yeah, obviously, and we all

857
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 2: talk allie of.

858
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,839
Speaker 3: Who eats the most hot dogs, which I'm pretty sure

859
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 3: is going to be my dog. Yeah, but we'll see great.

860
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, my dog love it. Stealing off of people's plates.

861
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 4: But the only main thing on the agenda is to

862
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 4: just hang out and eat hot dogs.

863
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 1: It feels like a perfect excuse to throw a.

864
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 2: Party, isn't it beautiful?

865
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's wonderful, but it's sort of gotten out of control.

866
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 3: I mean I think next year we'll have to like

867
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 3: move it outside of a backyard.

868
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:05,160

00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:42,799
Speaker 1: will skip to the end and ask you with the

902
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 1: book complete, Uh, what feels like you're working progress as

903
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: best friends and a working pair?

904
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 2: Very good question, Very good question.

905
00:44:53,760 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 3: My work progress, i'd say, is being I need value

906
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 3: in myself slowed down. I have a very earnest adoration

907
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 3: for this planet and the people in it, and so

908
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:15,760
Speaker 3: it pushes me every day to be like I want

909
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 3: this place to be the best for everybody. Yeah, and

910
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,800
Speaker 3: so I work really hard in all these different ways

911
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 3: for that, and it feels impossible to slow down when

912
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 3: that's your quest. Yeah, But there is, of course a

913
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 3: part of me that is like, am I allowed to

914
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 3: just rest for a moment?

915
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:38,839
Speaker 2: Is that okay too?

916
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:42,319
Speaker 3: And probably thirty six this year, and I feel like

917
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 3: that's a big part of the years to come for

918
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 3: me is like getting better at in a world where

919
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 3: there's so much I want to do and I feel

920
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 3: like I have such limited time on this planet. Where

921
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 3: can I still find value in the being and not

922
00:45:57,640 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 3: the doing.

923
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:05,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, the little thing just a philosophical thing I'm working on,

924
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:10,719
Speaker 5: but just I'm sure that break there's just Tuesday.

925
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:13,800
Speaker 1: Pressure away, a couple more.

926
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:15,840
Speaker 2: Jobs about this fine.

927
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 4: I think for me, it's work in progress is just

928
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 4: continuing to like I think my dream is to just

929
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 4: like be able to inspire people doing what I did,

930
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 4: whatever that means, and just like and continuing to like

931
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 4: be myself in the world and carving my own path

932
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 4: and creating something tangible that I can people that can

933
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:43,799
Speaker 4: be inspiring people. And I think this is one of

934
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 4: those things. So like continuing on like that journey. Yeah,

935
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 4: and it's hard, like carving a path out of nothing,

936
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 4: you know, totally, you know.

937
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 2: Like forging a new path.

938
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 3: It's an important aspect to like see what the path

939
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 3: is that's been walked before and go, gosh, I wish

940
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 3: that I could just do that, but I gotta go

941
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 3: the rougher way.

942
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 1: Well, And I think it's a it's scary and really

943
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,919
Speaker 1: courageous to decide you're going to walk a path while

944
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 1: you're laying the bricks for yourself, and you know, we're

945
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 1: not always going to get it right. We might have

946
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: to edit and make a left turn at some point,

947
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:30,759
Speaker 1: but to do it and to have that kind of

948
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 1: audaciousness about your own dreams feels really inspiring. And it's

949
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:44,840
Speaker 1: cool to watch both of you walk these paths together

950
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:48,319
Speaker 1: and like, you know, not to be the cheesiest person

951
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 1: in the world, shocking, I'm fired up about something about

952
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 1: the world. I really, I really feel like to remind

953
00:47:57,400 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 1: people that they deserve beauty and joy while they are,

954
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:05,359
Speaker 1: as you said, earnestly, standing up for people around them

955
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 1: is so important, Like this is fuel for us, and

956
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:14,359
Speaker 1: it's part of the whole human experience. And even though

957
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 1: a party takes a lot of effort, it is I think,

958
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:19,759
Speaker 1: in a way, part of the slowdown to put your

959
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 1: phone down and make memories with your friends for a night.

960
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 1: Like that's everything. So it's the most gorgeous, beautiful, fun book,

961
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 1: but it it also has like all the deeper messaging

962
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 1: in it that makes me feel very excited to have

963
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 1: a copy.

964
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:40,319

970
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 1: that it's a bad thing, but I'm like every time

971
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:57,799
Speaker 1: I see you, it's like there's a crisis and we've

972
00:48:57,840 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 1: got to fix it. And I'm like, oh, I just

976
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:07,920
Speaker 3: a murder mystery party.

Speaker 2: It's fun.

978
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 3: Like it's a big drama, but it's not a real one.

979
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 3: So it's kind of fun to get dressed about something.

980
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:16,440
Speaker 2: That isn't really going to affect the world.

Speaker 1: a rager that goes to karaoke. It's a real ball
