00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: Hi everyone, It's Sophia, Welcome to Work in Progress. Hello,

2
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: friends and listeners, Welcome back to Work in Progress. This week,

3
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 1: you all have been submitting some really great listener questions

4
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: and I just wanted to say thank you for all

5
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: your feedback on our Q and A episodes. I'm so

6
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: glad you like them. I really enjoy doing this with

7
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: you guys, and so many good questions have come in,

8
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: and so we felt like this week was as good

9
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: as any to jump back in and try to work

10
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: through some of these. So let's get started. First question

11
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: from Maria. Wow, this is really oh so topical my dear,

12
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: for me, you, and I think everyone else. Maria's question

13
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: is how do you deal with stress, specifically now when

14
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 1: the world is kind of a mess. Oh? Boy, Yeah,

15
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,919
Speaker 1: things feel really heavy, don't they. It's hard when every

16
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: second you, you know, turn on the news or open

17
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: a paper, it seems like tragedy is everywhere. I think.

18
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: What I really try to remind myself to do is

19
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: to hold the both. And because it's not lost on

20
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: me that for myself, for so many people, I love,

21
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: even things I hear from you guys, you know, out

22
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: on social and in some of your feedback is that

23
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: things seem more stressful than ever, the world feels messier

24
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: than ever, and yet people are in love, they're happy

25
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: at work, they're so grateful for their families, and so

26
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: I think what I try to do is remind myself

27
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: to make room for both, And when things feel really,

28
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: really stressful, I try to make a list of the

29
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: things that I'm grateful for. I try to remind myself

30
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: how lucky I am to have people I love to

31
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: call or lean on, to have joy in my life,

32
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: to even even to be hurt by what's hard out there.

33
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: You know, I think a capacity to care for others

34
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 1: is a beautiful thing, and so when the world feels heavy,

35
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: I remind myself that that's a sign that I'm human

36
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: and that that feels really important. You know. I think

37
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: there's all sorts of things out in the world that

38
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: encourage us to lose our humanity or to look at

39
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: other people and say, well, what did they expect or

40
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: are they signed up for that? Or they deserve to

41
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: feel this way? And I really want to reject those

42
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: I don't mean to be judgmental, but like I would

43
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: call them lesser human instincts, you know, maybe maybe the

44
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: ways that we can be a little base or cruel,

45
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: and I really want to go in the opposite direction

46
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: of that stuff. So that's what I think is the

47
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: best antidote to stress. Gratitude, care, kindness. And then you know,

48
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:30,519
Speaker 1: for our little individual bodies, probably boring, but sleep, water,

49
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: taking vitamins, you know, doing little things to help make

50
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: your physical self more resilient. I think all those incremental,

51
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: little acts of self care really add up to create

52
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: big shifts. And so I try to make sure I'm

53
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: thinking about all the good things and then doing small

54
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: good things for my little body. And I hope you

55
00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: are too. Riley asks, what is your favorite show you've

56
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: acted in? Oh my goodness, this is so hard for

57
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: me because I cherish experiences on different things for different reasons.

58
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: You know, I loved I loved playing Brooke Davis for

59
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: nine years. What a rare thing that an actor gets

60
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: to do that nine seasons on a series, you know,

61
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: doesn't happen that often. And I loved her journey, and

62
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: I loved fighting for her, and I loved helping make

63
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: her a person that I care about and that so

64
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: many fans care about. And then you know, on the

65
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: flip side working on Easy on Netflix with Joe Swamberg

66
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: and Jacquelyn Tiboni. You know a writer, director that I

67
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: absolutely love, an actor that I absolutely love. You know,

68
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: I just did one episode of that show. The series

69
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: is an anthology, that's how it works, and yet it

70
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: was one of the most fun experiences I've ever had

71
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: as an actor, because you know, the shows based on

72
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 1: outline and then the actual scenes are mostly improved. And

73
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: I loved the challenge of that. And I don't know

74
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 1: if I could handle doing a whole series like that

75
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: because the pressure is so crazy. But maybe maybe it

76
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: would be the most fun thing I've ever done, and

77
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: I've just never done it, and I just haven't done

78
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: it yet, so whether it's like such a long job

79
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: or something that happens really briefly. I have attachments to

80
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: different projects for different reasons. I've never been good at

81
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: picking a favorite, So I hope that that's not a

82
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: terrible answer, Riley, but I am sort of incapable of

83
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: doing that. Kayla asks what project have you worked on

84
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 1: that has taught you the most about yourself? Kind of

85
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: a similar answer to the previous question. I think I

86
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: think about learning through life climbing a ladder, and I

87
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: think every time you level up, every time you climb

88
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: aroun you learn something new. Sometimes in you know, in

89
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: different phases of our lives, we learn versions of similar lessons.

90
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: I think sometimes we get tested, you know, through the decades,

91
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: to see how well we can apply our learning, our

92
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 1: sense of the view, were all sorts of things, so

93
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: I think it's hard to narrow down on just one thing.

94
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 1: I think working on One Tree Hill really taught me

95
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: to advocate for a character, taught me to advocate for

96
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: the women around me, definitely taught me in hindsight, I

97
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: think taught me that some battles are absolutely worth fighting,

98
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: and sometimes you just have to realize that, you know,

99
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: not everything will be one or workout, and that's okay

100
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: too a long life we lead, I would say the

101
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: next long series I did in Chicago really taught me

102
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: to advocate. At first, I was advocating for women, you know,

103
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: for a group of us, for a community, and then

104
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: it really taught me that, you know, if you don't

105
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: put your own oxygen mask on first, you're doing a

106
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: disservice to yourself and everyone else. And that job ultimately

107
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: taught me to choose myself and to protect myself, and

108
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: that was a really valuable lesson too. I think, I know,

109
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: I just talked about this show too, but working on

110
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: Easy taught me that I love improv you know, not

111
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: necessarily a big lesson for me as a human and

112
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: you know how I grow and show up in the world,

113
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: but it was certainly an amazing lesson for me as

114
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: an actor and a storyteller. And I loved it, like

115
00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: I can't talk about it without grinning. It was just

116
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: such a fun experience. And yeah, I think I think

117
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: every job, you know, can really illuminate something for you,

118
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: whether it's in your creativity and your work, or in

119
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: who you are as a person and the ways you're

120
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: learning to you know, move as a human in the world.

121
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: And that's something I really appreciate, you know, in all

122
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: the ways that my day job as an actor is

123
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: so bizarre and you know requires you to kind of

124
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: move around at a moment's notice and you know, basically

125
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: be like a circus performer. I really like that you

126
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: have the opportunity to constantly, you know, meet new people,

127
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: watch the way people work, learn new things. You know.

128
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: When I made good, SAYM, I learned that I actually

129
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: really am fascinated by medicine in ways I always thought

130
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 1: I was, but I I didn't get to have the

131
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: experience until I was, you know, shadowing surgeons and standing

132
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: and operating theaters and you know, getting to peek around

133
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 1: inside the literal body cavities of patients and ask questions.

134
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 1: You know, what a profound privilege to get to do that,

135
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: To get to stand and shadow surgeons in the way

136
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: that on set, I've shadowed directors. You know, I always

137
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: knew it was something that I wanted to learn more about,

138
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: but I got to have the experience up close and

139
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 1: personal and realize that, you know, it's definitely one of

140
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: the coolest things I've ever been fortunate enough to see.

141
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: And so, yeah, I think every project has taught me something.

142
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: And I guess the overarching theme really is that I'm

143
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: curious and I like that about myself. I guess i'd

144
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: wonder for you guys, what big lessons you take away

145
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: from work and what things you really like that you've

146
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: discovered about yourselves. Maybe send us some answers to those

147
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: questions on social because we'd love to know. Tia wants

148
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: to know what woman in your life has inspired you

149
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: the most. Oh my goodness, I have such an incredible

150
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: community of women and friends and co workers and mentors,

151
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: and I'm just endlessly inspired, truly by so many of

152
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: the friends I've collected, you know, along the way in

153
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: these past two decades of adulthood. I'd say the first

154
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 1: person who comes to mind is Nia, my best friend,

155
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: who is just so tenacious and curious and wise and god,

156
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: she's just good at everything and manages to be this

157
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: incredible professional and also the most fun person to go

158
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,719
Speaker 1: on an adventure with, go to a party with, hit

159
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 1: a dance floor with. She's just she's like the best

160
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: person that I know. And I feel that way about,

161
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 1: you know, my group of girlfriends back home in LA.

162
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 1: I feel that way about so many of the women

163
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: that I've worked with on camera, who have inspired me

164
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: by the way they show up and the women they

165
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: are behind the scenes. I feel that way about, you know,

166
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: the folks that I've made friends with in the last

167
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: you know, half decade from across the women's sports industry

168
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: who've managed to advocate for pay equity globally and who

169
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: have you know, really helped inspire you know, not only

170
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: like my love of sport, but the way I show

171
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: up as you know, a part owner of a team. God,

172
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: I mean, think about our our whole executive team at

173
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: Angel City, you know, so crazy, Like I grew up

174
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: playing Ayso soccer and now I get to collaborate with

175
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: this group of women on one of the best teams

176
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: in the league and watch, you know, the women that

177
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: we support and the women who play for us, and

178
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: the women who work in our back offices. I mean,

179
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: it's just like, I'm so endlessly inspired by the tenacity

180
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: and the courage of the women in my lives in

181
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: every vertical. And yeah, I feel very lucky. You know.

182
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: When I think about that first question for Maria, like

183
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: how I deal with stress, sometimes I just think about

184
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: the people in my life who I get to call

185
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: on a day to day basis, and thing like, you know, yeah,

186
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: I'm not going to deny that today's a hard day

187
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 1: or that this crazy thing is happening, but I feel really,

188
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: really lucky to be part of the community that I

189
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: am a part of, and that extends to a lot

190
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 1: of you. You know, I started this podcast because I

191
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: wanted to have interesting conversations with people that inspire me.

192
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: Glorious dynam think about an inspiring woman, my god, my

193
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: first guest, you know, back in twenty nineteen, and to

194
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: pick her brain about her advocacy in the way that

195
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: she has stood up for the equality of women in

196
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: this country and around the world, Like, that's a dream

197
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: come true for me. And the fact that so many

198
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: of you show up to join me in these conversations

199
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: and listen like you guys inspire me too, So add

200
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: yourselves to the list. And now a word from our

201
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: sponsors who make this show possible. This is a good shift.

202
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: Christine wants to know what is your favorite song on

203
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: Cowboy Critter. I mean, that feels so tough to pick one.

204
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: The whole album is so beautiful, and I think one

205
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: of the things that inspires me most about it is

206
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: what an education it is for so many of us

207
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: about the folks who helped create country music as a genre.

208
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: It's really inspiring to me to see someone like Beyonce

209
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: show up and give us all a history lesson on

210
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: the incredible contributions of black artists to country. So I

211
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: absolutely love that. And when I think about the way

212
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: that she's partnered with so many incredible people to make

213
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: this record, you know, traditional voices from country, historic voices

214
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: from country, and then even like people who we just

215
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: love like. I love watching her journey as a woman.

216
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: I have loved over the last few years, in particular

217
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: watching Miley Cyrus's journey you know, as a woman and

218
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: an artist. Flowers was like definitely my my theme song

219
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: for a year. So I think this week it's probably

220
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: Most Wanted. It's the Beyonce and Miley du it. I

221
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: just love it. It makes me want to scream, sing

222
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: and cry all at the same time. It's so beautiful.

223
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: But I don't know, check in next week because I

224
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: might be on a different one, or who knows, Most

225
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: Wanted might just be on repeat forever. We'll see. Oh,

226
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: this is a nice question from Elizabeth. What's been the

227
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: best part of your twenty twenty four so far? Wow?

228
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: I think I think the best part of this year.

229
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: I really like to do a check in on New

230
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: Year's and my friend Kenny, one of my best friends

231
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: years ago, gave me and a bunch of our pals

232
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: this like packet of questions to fill out for New

233
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: Year's and I just find it super inspiring. And this year,

234
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: as I sat to like do this workbook and really

235
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: think about what twenty twenty four was going to have

236
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: in store. I realized that in some ways, you know,

237
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: things feel harder than ever, and yet I'm happier than

238
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: I have ever been. I feel less pressure to be

239
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: what other people need me to be, or to be

240
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: concerned with other people's assumption versus the reality that I

241
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: live in. And as a person who like literally came

242
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: into my adulthood on camera with the pressure of the world,

243
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: you know, looking in as I think anybody who grows

244
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: up quick on TV does, Like, that's a pretty profound

245
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 1: way to feel. To know what is true and what

246
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: is good and what matters to me and to the

247
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: people that I love in a way that isn't you know,

248
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: swayed or pressurized from the outside. That feels like a

249
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: pretty big deal. And to sit in that and really

250
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: reflect on that. At the start of the year, Yeah,

251
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 1: I just felt like a really major milestone. Took me

252
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: a long time to get here, and I'm really grateful

253
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 1: to be here, and now being here, I really want that,

254
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: you know, for everyone I know and everyone I don't,

255
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: for all of you for sure. And then I think,

256
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: if I get like a little less sort of overarching theme,

257
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: a little less meta. I'm really excited about some projects

258
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: I've signed on to do and a project that I'm

259
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: pitching with some of my favorite people, and I just

260
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: feel really inspired as an artist again, and that feels

261
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: very exciting. So yeah, twenty twenty four feels like it's

262
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:17,360
Speaker 1: shaping up to be a good year. Tenley wants to know, Oh,

263
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 1: do you like to see a One Tree Hill reunion

264
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: or should this series stay as is? You know, I

265
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: think my opinion on this has really changed, And I

266
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 1: also think that's pretty natural, Like you wrap a show

267
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: after nine years and no matter how much you loved it.

268
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: I mean, clearly I loved it. I sobbed every day

269
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 1: for the last two weeks of filming. But when you wrap,

270
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 1: you're like, I did it, I'm done. I want to

271
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: go do other things. You really want to have a

272
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: new experience as an artist and a storyteller. And then

273
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: when the girls and I decided to do our rewatch show,

274
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: when we started Drama Queens and really got to reclaim

275
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: our first which was kind of our first love, and

276
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: you know, get to really examine the show from such

277
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 1: a distance that we could really watch it and experience

278
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: it and not be like, I don't know, I don't

279
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 1: want to say triggered, but kind of not be triggered

280
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: by it and not be like sort of yanked backward

281
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: into it. It's been so cool, and I've really loved

282
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: watching it, and I've loved getting to experience it the

283
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: way the fans of the show got to experience it,

284
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: And in a way, I love it now more than

285
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 1: I think I ever have. And so I think the

286
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: right kind of reunion would be amazing. I also think

287
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: when you did something really special, the wrong kind of

288
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: reunion could be terrible. So, you know, I think if

289
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: it felt like our podcast feels, if it felt like

290
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 1: a reclamation, if it felt like a return to what

291
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 1: is so good good and a continuation of that, and

292
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: didn't require us to like keep the trash in the

293
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,479
Speaker 1: house if you will, if you can follow the metaphor

294
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 1: I'm saying here, I'm trying to keep it classy. You know,

295
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,239
Speaker 1: if we could reclaim it and take the trash out

296
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 1: at the same time, I would say never say never. Oh,

297
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 1: I like this question too. Ali asks what do you

298
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 1: admire most about your parents? Gosh, my parents are really

299
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: cool and complicated and great, and you know, we've got

300
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: family stuff, like I think every family does. I think

301
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: the thing that I really admire about them is as

302
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: I have gotten older and really wanted to do the

303
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: work on examining patterns and processing trauma and you know,

304
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 1: growing as a human, becoming a healthier human, my parents

305
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: have not shied away from that. And I think for

306
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 1: parents especially, that can be really hard to you know,

307
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: unearth things about your family, or to examine old wounds

308
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: that exist, you know, within a family, or to clue

309
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 1: their kids in on things when their kids are suddenly

310
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: their peers because everyone in the room is an adult now,

311
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: you know. And my parents have been more and more

312
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: as the years have gone by, more and more willing

313
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 1: to do that. And that is something that to me

314
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: speaks to things I admire in folks that are older

315
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 1: than me. In general, I think intergenerational friendships are incredibly important.

316
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: I really try to make sure I have a community

317
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: that you know, fans from seventy five to twenty two.

318
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: And what I respect about my parents, what I respect

319
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: even about some of my mentors in the political space

320
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: is people who become more and more progressive as they age.

321
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: People who are more and more willing to make room

322
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,919
Speaker 1: for others, for their equality, for their needs, for their joy,

323
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: for their ability to thrive, for their ability to ask

324
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:38,919
Speaker 1: hard questions and get real answers. Like it's really something

325
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: I'm passionate about. And so I appreciate that in my

326
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: own family with my parents, that they're every year they

327
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: seem more willing to you know, show up as them

328
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: as their whole selves and make room for others. And

329
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: that's something I'm really grateful for. And I zoom out

330
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: again and I have to draw this parallel because it's

331
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: true and be like we're gearing up for the selection,

332
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: and so I think it's an important thing to examine,

333
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 1: you know, It's something I appreciate. Like I said about

334
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 1: my mentors in the world of policy and politics, it's

335
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 1: something that I, you know, appreciate about people I advocate alongside,

336
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 1: like folks who've been doing this for a long time,

337
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 1: who say, yeah, we tried something, it didn't work. We've

338
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: learned better. We're going to be more progressive. We're going

339
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: to make more room, we're going to give more resources

340
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: to people. We're gonna we're going to take care of

341
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: more children, We're going to get more kids out of poverty.

342
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: We're going to feed more kids in school. You know,

343
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 1: like the list goes on. We're not gonna lean on

344
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: these carceral options like we used to because now we

345
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: know they don't work. Like all of that. You know,

346
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: that is something that not only takes a willingness to evolve,

347
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: but to do it on a public stage takes a

348
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 1: lot of courage. And yeah, it's the reason that you

349
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 1: see me advocate for the folks that I do in

350
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: election years because that's something that's really meaningful to me.

351
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: So I think in the personal you know, just me

352
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 1: and my folks in my house, to the you know,

353
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,640
Speaker 1: nationwide all of us and the policies that affect us,

354
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: I actually really see like a parallel there and hopefully

355
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: you guys do doo. And now a word from our sponsors.

356
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: Catherine asks what is your favorite self care treatment that

357
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: you like to treat yourself to. Oh? Wow, my favorite.

358
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: The thing that feels the most like a luxury to

359
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 1: me is to get a massage. You know, my body

360
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: is pretty shattered from years of doing stunts and getting

361
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: injured and having to keep working and you know, flying

362
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: as often as I have to to do my job

363
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: but also have any sort of relationship with my family

364
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: and friends back home because I never work where I live.

365
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: And yeah, I think in recent years, like I don't

366
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: do it a lot. I wish I did it more.

367
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: I've got friends who are like in their sixties who

368
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: get a massage once a week, and I'm like, wow,

369
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 1: that's like real adulting, probably, you know. But I think

370
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: about my twenties, where I probably did it like once

371
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: a year, and now I probably do it, I don't know,

372
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 1: once every six weeks. So maybe I'm evolving in the

373
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: right direction. But yeah, that feels like such a luxury,

374
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: but also like medicine, and I think that's something I'm

375
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: trying to wrap my head or is that there are

376
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: kinds of self care that actually helped keep us healthy

377
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 1: instead of the kinds of self care we have to

378
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: do to cope when we're sick. So you know, I'm

379
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:18,199
Speaker 1: working on adjusting my perspectives on that. I think the

380
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: biggest self care like daily change I've made in my life, though,

381
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: is sleep. I'm actually sleeping like seven to eight hours

382
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 1: a night now, and I never used to do that,

383
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 1: probably the whole time I filmed one tree Hill. I

384
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: slept like five hours a night, which just was not good.

385
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: It wasn't healthy. But when you're working seventeen hours a

386
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: day and you're trying to like have any semblance of

387
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: a life around that, you can start to sacrifice your sleep.

388
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 1: And I'm just realized I don't want to do that,

389
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: and so probably sounds really lame, but sleep is really

390
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,959
Speaker 1: the greatest form of self care that I treat myself

391
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 1: to the most regularly. And yeah, if you're an under sleeper,

392
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 1: please start sleeping. Take care of your brain and your body.

393
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: Take it from me. Took me a long time, but

394
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 1: I'm really trying to be good about it. Oh, Samantha asks,

395
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: what is your favorite kind of pasta? Girl? Who could

396
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: pick a favorite kind? That feels hard? This is funny

397
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: because I just ate lunch and I had or ketty

398
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 1: with sausage and broccolini that I made, so you read

399
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 1: my mind. My favorite kind of pasta is every kind

400
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 1: of pasta. I really would like to learn to perfect

401
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaker 1: a carbonara that is on my list. So if any

402
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: of you listening out there have a good carbonara recipe,

403
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: hit your girl, because I really need to know. Austin

404
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: asks what is your biggest pet peeve Ooh, easy answer.

405
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 1: I can tell you this because I travel a lot.

406
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 1: People who watch things on their phones on airplanes with

407
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: no headphones. I think it is like, straight up the

408
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: most unbelievably inconsiderate thing you can do. Like we're all

409
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 1: trapped in a metal tube together, the way sound travels

410
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: on a plane and the engine noise, and just like

411
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 1: there's already so much noise in a plane as it is,

412
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: and to be like rapid fire scrolling through videos on TikTok,

413
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: or like playing Angry Birds with the sound on and

414
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: no headphones, I'm just like, how can you subject other

415
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: people to this? And you know, I do know that

416
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: I'm very noise sensitive with my particular you know, version

417
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: of being a little neurospicy. But like, I just think

418
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: it's awful to force people to listen to terrible sounds

419
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: in public. It's like, you got to bring headphones, boys

420
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: and girls. You just have to. That's mine, Chris. What

421
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: is your favorite eighties movie? Oh? My goodness, I mean,

422
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: the first thing that comes to mind is Princess Bride.

423
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: I actually don't know if I think that's an eighties movie.

424
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: Maybe it's an early nineties movie. I don't know. I

425
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: just watched it that in Flight of the Navigator. I

426
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: watched obsessively as a kid. Those movies really shaped me.

427
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: So probably those two. What are your favorite eighties movies? Guys?

428
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 1: I'm realizing I probably didn't watch all that many because

429
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: you know, I was a little baby. But yeah, tell

430
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: me what you guys love to go back and watch

431
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: from the eighties. I feel like I should add some

432
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: things to the list. Christian, what is something that brought

433
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: you joy in the last week? Oh, oh, my goodness,

434
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 1: something that brought me joy in the last week. I

435
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: went over to a friends for a big Sunday barbecue,

436
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: and we're at that stage now where parents are there

437
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: and some of our friends have kids, so there's kids

438
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: running around, and it was this moment where I like,

439
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: I looked around the backyard at my friend's parents laughing

440
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: and all these kids running around in circles, giggling, and

441
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, it was just this really really cool

442
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: moment where I sort of felt like I was suspended

443
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: between these two worlds. You know, I remember what it

444
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: was like to be a little kid running around the

445
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: backyard on a Sunday with my friends and I was

446
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: looking at you know, all these folks like in their sixties,

447
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: just vibing, having a time, and I was like, Wow,

448
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: I'll be there eventually, and this is so cool, like

449
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: to see all these sort of stages of life. It felt.

450
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: It felt like a moment that I wished my mind

451
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: could take a picture of. I don't know if you

452
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: ever have that, but I definitely have that where I

453
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: look around and I think, God, I just want to

454
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: snapshot this. I don't want to forget what this feels like.

455
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: The sun was out, there was a little breeze, like

456
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: everything was just a vibe, and yeah, I felt really

457
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: grateful and it was a nice moment to just check

458
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: in with what that feels like, how nice it feels

459
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: to have that sort of swelling in your chest and

460
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 1: realize you're smiling looking around, and to just go, Wow,

461
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: this is really good. There's a lot out there that's hard,

462
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: and there's a lot going on in the world that

463
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: I know makes us all feel really uncertain. So for

464
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: those moments that I just think like I want to

465
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: remember this, I want to cherish this, I have so

466
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 1: much gratitude because those are the ones I think that

467
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: make all the other stuff worth navigating and doing, you know,

468
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: makes me really happy. And obviously, you know, the forty

469
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: six times I've listened to Cowboy Carter brought me joy

470
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: this week as well for the world. Okay, Ava asks

471
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: who is your dream dinner party guest? Living or dead?

472
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: Ooh gosh, that is such a good question. I wish

473
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: I could. I wish I could build out like a

474
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: dream dinner party table. But honestly, it's funny. There's so

475
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: many people I'm so inspired by who I'd love to

476
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: have a meal with. But for whatever reason, and maybe

477
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 1: it's the last question making me really think about you know,

478
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: generations and phases in life. But you said living or dead,

479
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: and I like what I would give to be able

480
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: to have dinner with my grandfather one more time. That

481
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: would just be so cool. He passed away right at

482
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: the end of season four of One Tree Hill. Actually,

483
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: and I would just love, you know, I was in

484
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: my mid twenties then, and I would really love from

485
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: this vantage point, like with all this experience under my belt,

486
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: you know, the things I've done and the lessons I've learned,

487
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: and the successes and the failures and all of the

488
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 1: things I would love to sit down with him and

489
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: just talk about life. Now, there's so many questions I

490
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: would have to ask him about his story and you know,

491
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: his relationships and the things that he survived in the

492
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,840
Speaker 1: ways that he served, and yeah, just so much. I

493
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: didn't know to ask when I was twenty four, but

494
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 1: I would know to ask him now, and that that's

495
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: something I would really I would really really if I

496
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: could snap my fingers and be in a parallel universe

497
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 1: and have him, I would love to do that. So

498
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: thank you for that question, Ava, It's nice to think

499
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: about him, Oh my goodness. And then Emma wants to

500
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: know who would be your one call from jail. Nia

501
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: My best friend that I was talking about earlier would

502
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 1: absolutely be my call from jail. I would just trust

503
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 1: her to sort things quickly and not panic, so I

504
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 1: think she would really she would really be the one.

505
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: But now I'm like, well, what would I be getting

506
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: arrested for. I wonder that's a fun one to think about.

507
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 1: Have any of you ever been arrested? I have questions

508
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: who would your one phone call be from jail? Friends?

509
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 1: That would actually be a really fun thing to hear about,

510
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: So send us those answers in addition to any of

511
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: the other questions you have, and we will do another

512
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 1: one of these very soon. This is always really fun.

513
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 1: Thank you for asking great questions. You give me a

514
00:35:55,880 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: lot of very cool things to think about. Yeah, I

515
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 1: look forward to the next one. Have a great week y'all.
