The first time we 17 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: met was not to let people know I met Olivia 18 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: and I was interviewing around a red carpet for Beauty 19 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,479 Speaker 1: can in l a team and we found this video 20 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,479 Speaker 1: a few months ago, and the first time we met 21 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,960 Speaker 1: we shook hands when so, why did we shake hands? 22 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: It was awkward. It was awkward professionals. Yeah, but it's 23 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: just weird because I've never we Olivia and I have 24 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: become very close friends since we've developed a friendship, which 25 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: was kind of out of nowhere. It was, it was 26 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 1: out of nowhere, but I think it's so awesome and 27 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: now here we are. We're here.

Olivia 30 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: has been one of the only people in my life, 31 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: one of my friends besides like my family, that has 32 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: truly supported me through this. I remember when I was 33 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: working on the pitch deck for the podcast. I told 34 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: her when I got the pilot. I remember we were 35 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: walking around the growth and I was even one of 36 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,519 Speaker 1: the people because you get it, you get how much 37 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: work goes into it, and I've just always really appreciated 38 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: that and just our friendship. It's we are. We are friendship. 39 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: I'd say we were friends, but I think the pandemic 40 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: a little bit. It brought us together. Did we faced 41 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: the FaceTime? Yeah, We've had a long distance friendship mainly 42 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: over FaceTime. Yeah, I mean we've lived on separate sides 43 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 1: of the country for as the majority of our friendship, 44 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 1: and m it's just crazy that it's become such a 45 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: close friendship because we've seen each other like not as 46 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,399 Speaker 1: many times to equal how close we are Max ten 47 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: times if that? Oh yeah Max, Maybe I know. Isn't 48 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: that sad? That's weird and only thinking about that, But 49 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: we faced time more than I've ever FaceTime to anybody 50 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: else in my life. Really, yes, we faced them at 51 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: least if it goes two weeks, that's a lot. That's like, 52 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: that's true. You brought me out of my my shell 53 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: because like before our friendship, I didn't like FaceTime. I 54 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: like to have like photos and yes, totally. I was 55 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: always like, no, I don't like FaceTime. It's weird, it 56 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: feels awkward. Until you really brought me out of my 57 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: shell and I was like, you know what, I just 58 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: got an amazing friendship over FaceTime. I love that. I remember, 59 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: so I interviewed Beauty con l A. It was I 60 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: don't know, we need to find that interview that'd be 61 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: so funny to watch. But then I remember I was 62 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: doing a piece for Radio Disney and you were around 63 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: the Disney show Coop and Cammy UM, and I was 64 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:32,959 Speaker 1: doing like a behind the scenes and it was a 65 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: few days later, and I remember you remembered me from 66 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: the interview and we exchange numbers and then I complimented 67 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: your camera and remember they did I remember that. And 68 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: then I remember a few months later I found out 69 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: you're in New York and I d M D randomly. 70 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: I was like, hey, like, I want to see a 71 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: Broadway show. You saw Mean Girls, and it was amazing. 72 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: You got dinner, I know, And that's how I think 73 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: it all started. And we barely knew each other. I 74 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: was out in New York and um, when Sammy reached out, 75 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: I was like, oh my gosh. I was really nervous 76 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: to reach out because it was when I was in 77 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: high school's right when I was going through all that 78 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: ship that was terrible, and I was like, Okay, let 79 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: me try and just put myself out there and meet 80 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: some new people. And I remember Damn and he was like, Okay, 81 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: we'll see what happens, right, And I at the time 82 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: like I needed some more friendships in my life. And 83 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: so when you reached out, honestly, I was so excited. 84 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: And you know, when you're on vacation somewhere you don't 85 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 1: like or I guess it was maybe more of a 86 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: work trip you don't expect to, like, I don't know, 87 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 1: hang out with people that you don't don't know there. 88 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 1: But we had so much fun. We hit it off 89 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: that night. I feel like weird. That was our first 90 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 1: Like I remember you coming in the restaurant because we 91 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: got dinner before, and it was just like we've known 92 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: each other for a really long time, and I remember 93 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: us both being like, wait, this is a little odd, 94 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: how comfortable this is. It was a little weird because, 95 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 1: like you said, we had only met each other in 96 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: a work setting two times before and they were very short. Yeah, 97 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,280 Speaker 1: isn't that crazy. It's so weird. We kind of friendship 98 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: development story ever, and then we have what three years now. Yeah, 99 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 1: I think, so that's crazy. I remember when I saw you, um, because, 100 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: like I said, I was on set. It was so 101 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: interesting to see your work ethic and see how set's going. 102 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: What people don't realize like Disney especially, it's very glamorized, 103 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: but it's a set is a lot of hurry up 104 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: and wait, which is yes, people don't talk about right, 105 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: And I think when you're it's more waiting when you're 106 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: an adult, but when you're a kid, it's a lot 107 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 1: of um school work. You know, I was still um 108 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: in school. I mean I'm eighteen now, but I was 109 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: still in school when when I was filming Coop and CAMMI. 110 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: So you're not working, you're doing school in the classroom. 111 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: So I know it's crazy, but um, I think that's 112 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 1: like the question people always have is like, how do 113 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: you balance school and work life? You have to, like 114 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 1: you have completely, So what would you say a average 115 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 1: day on set was like for you? Well, we kind 116 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,359 Speaker 1: of had a weekly schedule because it was a multi 117 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,359 Speaker 1: cam show, so that is kind of like a set 118 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,359 Speaker 1: schedule every week. So Monday we had a table read 119 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: in school, and then Tuesday we rehearsed all day and 120 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: did school, and then Wednesday we rehearsed again, and we 121 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: had what's called the network run through, where we would 122 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: do the whole show as like a play for the network, 123 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: and they would come and do notes and make revisions, 124 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: and then Thursday and Friday we would film and we 125 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: didn't get much school work done on Thursday and Friday, 126 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: we banked it all on the three days beforehand, so 127 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: that's crazy to think of your schedule. What was that like? 128 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: Do you feel like, because I know we've talked about this, 129 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: I've always felt older than my actual age and I 130 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: know you have to, but what have you ever felt 131 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: any resentment from not being able to have that whatever 132 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: the normal experience is or is it you just you 133 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: just kind of like me where it's like I've always 134 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: kind of not really jived with that. Oh my gosh, exactly. 135 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: I think that's why we get along so well, is 136 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: because we have that in common. I've always felt a 137 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 1: lot older than I am. I've a aways felt like 138 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: an adult trapped inside a kid's body. Um. I think 139 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: I never had any resentment towards not having like a 140 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: typical childhood or going to regular school. I, to be honest, 141 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: never really desired it. Yeah, I didn't love it. I 142 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: went to public school and I didn't love it. That's 143 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: being so honest, And UM, I think certain things. I 144 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: just I was never sad about not having a problem 145 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: or not having a regular graduation or those things. I 146 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: in my own head, I was. I realized that I 147 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: was having just different experiences. I didn't feel like I 148 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: was losing out on anything. I was just having a 149 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: different experience. You're having so many life experience to right, 150 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: and it is an adult world, an adult business. So 151 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: I'm glad that I've kind of felt like an old 152 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: soul on my life because it kind of prepared me 153 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: for being in an adult business. But no, I honestly 154 00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: I'm so happy with like not having that true additional childhood. 155 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: I don't feel like I missed out. And you know, 156 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: it's really interesting because in our friendship, we don't really 157 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: talk about work really. We just talk about whatever. We 158 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: talk about everything. Um, but how long have you been 159 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: working for I became an actress when I was seven 160 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: years old, so I've been in this business for eleven years. Okay, 161 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: so from seven to eleven, what were you working on? 162 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,559 Speaker 1: Wizardes Show appearances, commercials, auditions, that kind of stuff. Yeah, 163 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: I just kind of when I was seven, which is 164 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: like such a little little age. Um, I just hit 165 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: the ground running with like commercials, and I trained. I 166 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: was really adamant about training. I still am. I think 167 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: like the best thing anybody can do as an actor 168 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 1: is trained, like know your stuff, no your craft, fall 169 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: in love with your craft. You know, you gotta love it, 170 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: you don't want to just and we're in such an 171 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: time where so many people are going into acting without 172 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: the love of it, but just as a money grab 173 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: in a way that it's very refreshing to see you. 174 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: You hustle, you really do because you love your craft. 175 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: Thank you. I love my craft. I love acting, and 176 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: I think I fell in love with it through studying 177 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: and working with different acting coaches and and being in 178 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: class consistently. That's how I fell in love with it. 179 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: And that's what gave me the ability to be resilient 180 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,959 Speaker 1: through the rejection of this business. Um, because I love 181 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 1: it so much. I love it. It's I mean, it's 182 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: my passion. I couldn't do life without it, So I 183 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: think you really have to love it. And um, I 184 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 1: was grateful for that time of doing commercials and auditioning 185 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: a ton when I was like, like you said, seven 186 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,559 Speaker 1: to eleven, and making coast our guests, our appearances and 187 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 1: training and that that's what I was doing. And then 188 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 1: when just that magic happened, life was completely different. Just 189 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: how magic happened. I started filming it when I was eleven, okay, 190 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: eleven fift I think, Yeah, what about acting? Do you love? 191 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,959 Speaker 1: I always think about this, and I think it's living 192 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,559 Speaker 1: through other people. Like, as humans, we get one life 193 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: and we only get to live through our eyes. And 194 00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 1: I think in acting, I get to live through the 195 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,839 Speaker 1: len of so many different people and have I feel 196 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: like I have different life experiences through the characters I've 197 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: lived through. Honestly, Wow, that's awesome. Thanks. And to affect people. 198 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: I used to go into the movie theater and just 199 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: be so deeply affected by movies. I mean I still am, 200 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 1: but even as a kid. Like the reason I became 201 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: an actress is because I went to the movie theater 202 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: and I saw a movie called Ramona, and I talked 203 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 1: about remember when she ran away? Oh my gosh, of 204 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,679 Speaker 1: course I did. I cried traumatizing that song, the Taylor 205 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,319 Speaker 1: Swift song that adn't Nolla. When she's walking up the 206 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: hill by herself. It's hard, I know, and she brings 207 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: her mom puts the bowling ball in her backpack because 208 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: she doesn't want her to leave, and she knows it's 209 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: going to get too heavy for her to carry. Yeah, 210 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 1: I know this movie back my head. Yeah, And I 211 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: think I was so deeply affected by everything I watched 212 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: and I was just I just wanted to make people 213 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: feel And that's those are the two things about acting 214 00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: that I love so much. And then you later when 215 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 1: you in your acting career, you fall in love with 216 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 1: a set environment and working with the crew, But first 217 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: you have to love acting because it's the bones of 218 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: the career, you know. Yeah, would you say we are 219 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: in such a divisive world right now where it feels 220 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: like there's more hate than love. Do you think by 221 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: being an actor and getting to go into different characters 222 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,839 Speaker 1: has made you more of an empathetic person? Oh? Absolutely, absolutely. 223 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: I think it teaches you um to be a lot 224 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: less judgmental, you know what I mean. I think when 225 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: you do so much research about a character like I've 226 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: I've done, you know a lot of research, whether it's 227 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: for auditions or for roles on you know, different subjects, 228 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: um like different diseases and things like that that the 229 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 1: character might have. And I think it just teaches you 230 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: that everybody has a different story to tell and that 231 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: everybody struggles. And yeah, absolutely, it makes me more empathetic. 232 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: I think you kind of have to be if you're 233 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: going to be an actor. But that's also great tool 234 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: that you have just in life now, to be able 235 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: to see something on the surface and then kind of 236 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,079 Speaker 1: real evaluate like, is this all there is to it? 237 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,839 Speaker 1: Or is it a deeper issue? Oh yeah, totally. Because 238 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: we only see people we know, We only see the 239 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: life that they choose to show us. So I think 240 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: when you get to dive deep into a character, you 241 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 1: get to see all the stuff that you only know 242 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 1: of yourself. You know, all the private moments and all 243 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: the things they say to themselves, And when you dive 244 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: into a character, you have to see all of that. 245 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,319 Speaker 1: What how they interact with other people, how they interact 246 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: with when they're by themselves, you know what I mean? Yeah, 247 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: what would you say? I think we've talked about on 248 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 1: the podcast a lot, the highlight reel of social media, Yes, um, 249 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: and I know you know how it's affected me a 250 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 1: lot and how I've had to just delete the app 251 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, quite so many times. What would you say 252 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: The biggest misconception about you is, oh, my gosh, Sammy 253 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: with the hard hitting flue. Okay, I think, on a 254 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: lighter note, I think I'm a lot goofier then people see. 255 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: I mean, I think I'm funnier than people see. I 256 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 1: agree with that. I really didn't. I don't know. No, 257 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: I agree with that. I absolutely like, Oh I'm funny, 258 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 1: but no, I just mean that. I think I'm a 259 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: little more relaxed. I'm super chill, you know what I mean. 260 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: I'm very reserved. I'm not. I feel like I know 261 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: a misconception about you that people go for it, and 262 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,319 Speaker 1: I want to know. So. I did not realize how 263 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: big of a Twilight fan Olivia was. Um, I haven't 264 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: seen the Twilight yet. I know we need to make 265 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: that happen. We've been talking about it. I am honored 266 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: that you've just given me a platform to discuss my 267 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: Twilight addiction. I you're right, I do what people know 268 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: about this. Um, I mean like I do post like 269 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 1: on the anniversary of Winter. I can't say I do post. Um, 270 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: you know, the anniversary of when Twilight came out. Um, 271 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: if anybody wants to know, I'm obviously team Edward. I've 272 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,319 Speaker 1: posted a couple of TikTok's. I do have Bella's engagement ring. 273 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: Um that's like me, I that was. I think your 274 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 1: obsession of Twilight is like similar to my obsession with 275 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: high school musical like I see the Team Troy necklace. 276 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 1: Of course. Oh I always wanted that, right, Oh my goodness, 277 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: if Zach put it on me, yeah, that was that 278 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: was what I really wanted. But I mean, when't the necklace? 279 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: Was there some because I haven't seen the movies, was 280 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 1: there some equivalent that Edward did that you would want 281 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: Patterson to do? Um? I, oh gosh, I mean there's 282 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: so much I I know, you know what I mean, 283 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: Like vampires. Well, no, I see, this is when I 284 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: wish that you've seen the movies with me, Sammy, because 285 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: the whole premis is that he's reluctant to bite her. 286 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: He doesn't want to change her into a vampire. And yeah, 287 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: so I think I love all the quotes from I 288 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: love all the quotes from the movies. Um like and 289 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: so the line fell in love with the lamb, like yeah, 290 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: all all, there's how much good stuff? And then there's 291 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: like this thing about Spider Monkey and there's a lot 292 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: of good things. Are all foreign things. We really need 293 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: to make it happen, like wee like a movie marathon. Yeah, 294 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: I'll tell you now what My favorite. I bet people 295 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: are going to agree my favorite is Breaking Dawn Part one. Okay, 296 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: so that's the fourth movie you're in for the first 297 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: one we're going to watch or we must go chronologically. Okay, 298 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: how many movies are there? There's five? Five? Yeah. I'm 299 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: trying to think of like something I can share with 300 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: you from the movies that I don't want to know. 301 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 1: I want to be a surprise if they did, like 302 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: a Twilight reboot. Oh, would you be into that? Or 303 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: you're kind of sick of reboots? Because I feel like 304 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: I'm a little sick of reboots. But if they asked 305 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: you to be like Olivia, what do you want to 306 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: be in a Twilight? I mean, I get where you're 307 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: coming from with the reboot thing, but no, I am. 308 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: I would be in to do a Twilight all the way. 309 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: Would you say that's your dream character? Yeah, that's like 310 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: my funny dream one. Okay, what about like actual dream 311 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 1: real dream ones? I guess. I mean I would love 312 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: to play Juliette in some adaptation of Romeo and Juliette. 313 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: You're obsessed with Shakespeare too, I forgot about that. I am. 314 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: The obsession is real. Yeah, you have a song called 315 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: stars Cross I do very much so inspired by Romeo 316 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 1: and Juliette. Yeah, I've seen basically every movie adaptation there is, really, Yes, 317 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: you want to know. My favorite is of course, have 318 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 1: you seen the Basil Arman one with Leonardo DiCaprio and 319 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: Clare Dain's I might have? I might have in school? Actually, yeah, 320 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: people make you watch in school. But I saw that 321 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: movie for school. Actually I was supposed to watch one 322 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: of the versions, and I fell in love with it. 323 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 1: Leonardo DiCaprio, he is my favorite actor. I think he's 324 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 1: a genius. Yeah, I think he's a genius. I love him. 325 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: Of course, Young Leo has my heart. I mean Young 326 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: Leo's Young Leo, but like as an actor, he to 327 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,439 Speaker 1: me is a genius. Are you more of a visual person?

Yes, I mean 432 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,120 Speaker 1: I totally understand to where people are coming. Of course, 433 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 1: it's a business right, of course, but as a human Yes, 434 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: I think when I listened to your podcast, it does 435 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 1: feel so human and so authentic that it makes me, 436 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: um more aware of the way I answer questions, more 437 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 1: aware of less media trained. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, I mean 438 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: there is a time and of place for that, of course, 439 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 1: but um, I think your approach to your podcast is 440 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 1: so real and um, true to yourself and honest and 441 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: um honestly, it's given me a new perspective on the 442 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,880 Speaker 1: way you interview people, the way people respond to you 443 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: when you interview them, Like I feel like you have 444 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: this way of opening people up just naturally. It's true, 445 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 1: like it's also conversational. And that's why I always tell 446 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:49,919 Speaker 1: Samy is she has such a gift for it, and 447 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: it's just you feel relaxed when you're with her, because 448 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: interviews are scary sometimes when I'm on the few times 449 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,080 Speaker 1: I've been on the other side, I feel weird, just 450 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 1: like you don't have control over what people are saying. Totally. 451 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 1: I've been asked some weird questions before. That's the weirdest 452 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: question you've been asked. I think I may have told 453 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,120 Speaker 1: you this once before. I was on a red carpet 454 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 1: and like it made sense kind of. But I was asked, 455 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 1: if you were to have a Dina dinosaur rock star, 456 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,399 Speaker 1: what would be its name? M hmm, it was. It 457 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 1: was at a premiere. Was it like a dinosaur move? 458 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: It was? It was. But and I honestly I came 459 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,159 Speaker 1: up with the worst spot was I think everybody my 460 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: brain just I could I couldn't think at all. I 461 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 1: was like, well, what would be a dinosaur rock star name? 462 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 1: And I think I said like t Rex Sauna or 463 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,120 Speaker 1: something like to do a play on Riona. I have 464 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,160 Speaker 1: no idea. I was also like or Nirvana. It could 465 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: have been Nirvana. Yeah right, I could have gone either way, right, 466 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: So true? Interesting? Yeah, isn't that a weird question? What 467 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:00,959 Speaker 1: is it like being on a carpet? Because I used 468 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 1: to cover them for Radio Disney and they were so 469 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 1: overwhelming just being there. And I can't imagine on the 470 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: other side, because it looks very glamorous when you see 471 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: the Instagram photos, but it's kind of chaos, and I 472 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: don't think people A lot of people realize that, Oh 473 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: it's so chaotic. I think, is it not stressful? It 474 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: is stressful sometimes. I think if you're feeling great and 475 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: you feel your best, and you feel it, you look 476 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 1: your best, it's fun. I think if you can get 477 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 1: out there and just like have a good time with it, 478 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: then it's fun. But other times it gets super chaotic 479 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,479 Speaker 1: and people yelling your name why and weird interview questions 480 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,679 Speaker 1: like that one that makes you think I have to 481 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: think really hard. But for the most for the most part, 482 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 1: I really enjoy it. I think if you do too 483 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: many in a row, it gets exhausting. But I don't 484 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: want to take it for granted because it's so fun. 485 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 1: There's one dress she wore one specific time that I 486 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,640 Speaker 1: always tell her it was, I think it's the dumb broke, 487 00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,399 Speaker 1: the dumbbo premiere dress. Thank you. I remember when I 488 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,120 Speaker 1: saw that. I was that one I love you popped off. 489 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 1: Thank you, No, I do.

It was very poofy. It was very very poofy. 495 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: But that was the coolest premiere ever. I saw Angelina Jolie, 496 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: yes she was movie fan girled over. Oh her for 497 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: sure because she she pulled over. Um, she pulled aside 498 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: one of my cast mates from Cooping Cammy and told 499 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 1: him that their family watches our show. Isn't that the 500 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:44,119 Speaker 1: craziest thing ever? I freaked out. I freaked out, and um, 501 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 1: that was a fan girl moment. I met Tory Kelly 502 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,919 Speaker 1: on the red carpet and started crying, and I don't 503 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,680 Speaker 1: do that. And I think it's just overwhelmed because she's 504 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,880 Speaker 1: been such a light in my life and her music 505 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 1: really speaks to me that feeling all too right. It 506 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: just I was like, are these tears coming from It's 507 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,159 Speaker 1: it's like you can't help it. And you know, like 508 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,400 Speaker 1: when you're in the industry, like I don't get fan 509 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,360 Speaker 1: grilled over often because like everyone's human, you know, right, 510 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 1: But like there's i'd say three people that I would 511 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: actually possibly lose my ship over Lynn Well of course 512 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: talked about multiple timesting and Oprah Oh great, Like I 513 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,160 Speaker 1: know they're so, I know they're human, but they're so 514 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: those are like answers to who would you want to 515 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 1: have lunch with?

Yeah, I get that. 520 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,159 Speaker 1: Something that I really want to talk about it is 521 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,159 Speaker 1: if you has the most beautiful voice, Oh my gosh, 522 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 1: covers on TikTok and a'll texts will be like supportive friends, 523 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: Sammy always cheering me on no, but every time my 524 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 1: mind is just blown. Like I know you a beautiful voice, 525 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 1: but it's just like you said you did eleanor Rigby, 526 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 1: and I was like, oh my goodness, thank you. She 527 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,920 Speaker 1: popped off. Thank you so much. What are your thoughts 528 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: on TikTok, because I do you want some really interesting Yes. 529 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: So I haven't been on TikTok much and I know 530 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 1: that you thank you. It's I know I shouldn't be 531 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,159 Speaker 1: proud of that, but I thinks something to be proud of. 532 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 1: My time span has gotten time attention span has increased 533 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,440 Speaker 1: so much. Watching YouTube videos when I was on TikTok 534 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 1: felt too long. Yes, and ever since I've been off, 535 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 1: I can like, my attention span is so much longer. 536 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 1: Ever since you've been off average, I've been off TikTok. Yeah, 537 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 1: it's really bad. It's really bad for the attention span. 538 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 1: I know, I find myself like not being able to 539 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: sit through certain things. Now I'm like, oh, I need 540 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,239 Speaker 1: to retrain my mind. It's really rough. I saw this. 541 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: Olivia knows I'm obsessed with the news, um, but I 542 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 1: saw this thing where the CEO of Instagram was asked 543 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 1: questions because you know, studies came out about how Instagram 544 00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: can be like negative effect at teen girls mental health 545 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 1: and body image, and there definitely should be legislation. I 546 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 1: don't know if you saw the social dilemma, um, but 547 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 1: it's very interesting, especially like on a large scale because 548 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 1: you have a pretty substantial amount of followers. How have 549 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 1: you navigated that with also staying present, insane and not 550 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 1: compare yourself because it's so easy to like we said, 551 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: people just post to highlight reeo. Oh my gosh. It's 552 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 1: really tough. I definitely struggle through that of trying not 553 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 1: to compare, and I think, um, gratitude is the best 554 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 1: way to combat comparison. But I mean that doesn't always happen. 555 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 1: But yeah, it's hard. It's hard. Yeah, it's a daily 556 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 1: thing that you constantly have to remind yourself. You have 557 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,720 Speaker 1: to consistently say, hey, you know what I'm gonna try 558 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: and um just be grateful for what I have and 559 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 1: try not to compare. But like I said, like that 560 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: doesn't always. Um. Sometimes, no, when it's hard, and you 561 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 1: have to consistently try and do that. But I think 562 00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 1: also a great way to um not deal with those 563 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 1: things or to kind of lessen the pain is to 564 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 1: try and get off of it. I know it's hard 565 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 1: to believe me, I'm on it all the time more 566 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 1: than I should be. But um, I think that's one 567 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: guaranteed way to kind of get rid of those pressures, UM, 568 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: is to try and do other things. And I when 569 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 1: I found other hobbies and dove further into my work, 570 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 1: I feel better, you know what I mean, more assured 571 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 1: within yourself for sure. Yeah. And I think gratitude also 572 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 1: means reminding yourself of like positive affirmations about yourself, like hey, 573 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 1: I'm grateful that I do this, and I'm kind to 574 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 1: people or whatever, you know, those kind of things. Yeah, 575 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 1: I've been trying to work on that. I mean, I 576 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 1: was showing her, I know what you're about to say. 577 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 1: Last night. We were phase timing and I showed her 578 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 1: UM the final project I did for my class that 579 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: I directed. UM and Olivia gave me a very nice 580 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 1: compliment and I immediately rejected it. She shut me down. 581 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 1: And you're like, we mean to go this well, but like, 582 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 1: I feel like it's not just you. Everybody struggles with 583 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 1: trying to be proud of their own work. And you 584 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 1: work so hard and I can clearly see that you 585 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 1: should be proud, But of course when it comes to 586 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 1: talking about yourself, I think we're all our own worst critic. Yes, like, 587 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 1: I can be so mean to myself. It's so bad, 588 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 1: and I've been trying so hard to not um and 589 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 1: I feel like, I don't know, I feel like that's 590 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: not talked about because I go through these things of 591 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 1: I was talking to my cousin about this a few 592 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 1: months back, and I was saying, how like I am 593 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: my biggest obstacle, and he said something that kind of 594 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 1: really intrigued me. He said, well, that's kind of nice 595 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: that you know how to overcome you and if that's 596 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 1: your biggest obstacle, then you can do that. And I 597 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 1: was like, you're right, because I have the power to 598 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 1: change that totally takes work. It takes a lot of 599 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 1: daily work. Yeah yeah, but you know it's when even 600 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 1: if you're mean to yourself, it's letting that go and 601 00:31:57,960 --> 00:31:59,720 Speaker 1: just being easier with yourself because at the end of 602 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 1: the day where all we have absolutely I'm definitely my 603 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 1: own worst critic, and and there's almost like some kind 604 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 1: of relief in that sometimes where if I'm if I'm 605 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 1: happy with something I've done, then I know that I 606 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: should be proud of that because I think when you 607 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,959 Speaker 1: put yourself um, you give yourself such such high expectations 608 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 1: and standards. When I finally am happy with something I've 609 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 1: done or worked on, I'm like, dang, that took a 610 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 1: lot of work to get there, right, even I'm proud 611 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 1: of myself, Dang, that's kind of like my barometer of 612 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 1: of that I worked really hard for that. Does that 613 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 1: make sense? Like, Okay, do you know what's really interesting? 614 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 1: I'm just like kind of analyzing our friendship right now. 615 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 1: And any time we try and like talk about the 616 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 1: other person, we both try and like no, no, you 617 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 1: like no, no, You're like I'm like telling about this, 618 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 1: You're like no, but let me hear about you first. 619 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 1: I mean, like, don't want to talk about ourselves. So 620 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 1: we really do that quite a lot. We need to 621 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: work on that, we do. We do. I feel like 622 00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 1: we've gotten better since the beginning of Yeah, got to 623 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: the point guys where it was like we like I 624 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 1: couldn't even start the conversation because let's talk about you. 625 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 1: Like that still happens, it does, but not nearly as much. 626 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 1: I feel like we're more comfortable just talking to each 627 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:16,280 Speaker 1: other ourselves more. Yeah, and what's and because we talk often, 628 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,959 Speaker 1: it's like it's not even that much to update each 629 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 1: other because it's not superficial stuff exactly exactly, mostly just kidding. Okay, 630 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 1: we have to take one more quick break, but when 631 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 1: we come back, I want to talk about your new song, Evergreen, 632 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 1: and your song from last year, The Train, one of 633 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: my favorites. I also want to talk more about you 634 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 1: growing up in the business, our friendship, social media, and 635 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:49,720 Speaker 1: much more. Will be right back and we're back. I 636 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 1: know it's how we to accept compliments, but I don't know, 637 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 1: but you are truly such a hard worker and you 638 00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 1: inspire me and for people that I don't that don't know. 639 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 1: Olivia released a beautiful song that she wrote herself called Evergreen, 640 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,359 Speaker 1: and last year short and release a beautiful song called 641 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 1: The Train, which I am obsessed with. And something that 642 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:14,920 Speaker 1: a lot of people don't know is not only did 643 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:19,080 Speaker 1: you write it, but you also made and edited the 644 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:24,279 Speaker 1: lyric video yourself. You have edited multiple things. You are 645 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 1: people a lot for a lot of people. It's a 646 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 1: big team that does things. Olivia does it herself. Um, 647 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:34,359 Speaker 1: and it is so inspiring because sometimes we can all 648 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,000 Speaker 1: get trapped in our own head thinking, well, I don't 649 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 1: have this, so I can't do it. But you are 650 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,439 Speaker 1: also a true definition of if you want to do something, 651 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,520 Speaker 1: just do it yourself. And that's really hard to do, 652 00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 1: to start something and put yourself out there. But I 653 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:50,919 Speaker 1: just want to say that, And I think your song 654 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,719 Speaker 1: Evergreen is so beautiful and I'm so proud of you 655 00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,680 Speaker 1: for you did. You did the cover art, um, you 656 00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,400 Speaker 1: did the lyric music video, and I just want to 657 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:04,359 Speaker 1: acknowledge that because you work so hard. Thank you. Oh 658 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:08,320 Speaker 1: my god, you're saying thank you. No, I I really, 659 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,399 Speaker 1: I really do appreciate that. Like if I want to be, 660 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,840 Speaker 1: you know, one thing as an actor, aside from hopefully 661 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,240 Speaker 1: being a good actor, I want to be just hard working. 662 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:22,399 Speaker 1: So I really appreciate that. Um. Yeah, I think that's 663 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,520 Speaker 1: maybe a misconception as well. Like, yes, I'm an independent 664 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,560 Speaker 1: artist and I do most of it myself. I wrote 665 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,040 Speaker 1: the song, Um, I had an amazing producer who did 666 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:34,160 Speaker 1: who produced it for me Isaac, And yeah, you're right, 667 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 1: it was a lot of work, but it's a lot 668 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 1: of work that means a lot. Thank you. Sammy has 669 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,200 Speaker 1: always been so supportive of my music. I sent her 670 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 1: my new song Evergreen before it came out because she 671 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,359 Speaker 1: wanted to hear. It was like I was having a 672 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,000 Speaker 1: bad day and I was telling you about and You're like, 673 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:50,959 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna send you this. You can't 674 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:54,719 Speaker 1: show anyone. Yeah, and Sammy knows. I'm like, super, she 675 00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:59,400 Speaker 1: won't send anything, and yeah, she won't until like you're like, 676 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 1: we were bold perfectionists. So unless it's like to our 677 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 1: standards correct, Yeah, yeah. If if I'm like, I don't know, 678 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:08,920 Speaker 1: I think a couple of things need to be changed, 679 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,520 Speaker 1: then I won't show it. But Sammy was in need 680 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,440 Speaker 1: of a little bit of distraction that day, so I 681 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,160 Speaker 1: was like, you know what, here we go. Here you go, 682 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,680 Speaker 1: take it, take it, take it. But um, that's really kind. 683 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,400 Speaker 1: Thank you, Sammy.

You guys know what an incredible podcast this is. 687 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,279 Speaker 1: And I always say that Sammy is a visionary. I 688 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,280 Speaker 1: think she has such a view of how she can 689 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,840 Speaker 1: contribute to the world and how she can contribute to 690 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,760 Speaker 1: um people our age and helping them have a voice 691 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,920 Speaker 1: and helping stand up for people. I think she has 692 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:54,520 Speaker 1: such a clear vision of how to be an authentic person. Um, 693 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 1: I just think she's incredible. She's an amazing friend. Anybody 694 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,440 Speaker 1: that is lucky enough to be her friend knows that. 695 00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:04,760 Speaker 1: And I'm just very grateful for you. She's incredible. Meanwhile, 696 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:10,279 Speaker 1: she's also a student and so okay, but like, you're incredible. 697 00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:14,759 Speaker 1: I'm just I just this is what facetimes are.

Yeah, that's basically the 700 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:24,880 Speaker 1: conversations we've talked about this. But just like being in 701 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:30,440 Speaker 1: a young person in the industry especially that's so male dominated, 702 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:34,640 Speaker 1: it's so hard to find like minded people. And I'm 703 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:38,799 Speaker 1: so beyond grateful because our friendship formed so naturally, it 704 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:42,239 Speaker 1: wasn't forced. Um and I feel like we've also just 705 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,480 Speaker 1: been there for each other in a weird way, even 706 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,680 Speaker 1: if it's just over FaceTime and we have like not 707 00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:51,360 Speaker 1: the same career, but we understand what the other person 708 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:54,560 Speaker 1: is doing and going through, and because they are so similar, 709 00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:58,239 Speaker 1: that's been super helpful, I will say, because not a 710 00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:02,480 Speaker 1: lot of people know the process of pitching a show, 711 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,120 Speaker 1: of hoping to get renewed, to do you know, to 712 00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,840 Speaker 1: do all of that, waiting to here on the next season, 713 00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:09,800 Speaker 1: waiting to here in the next season, for each episode. 714 00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:11,319 Speaker 1: And I think you've been a very good person for 715 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,839 Speaker 1: me to talk to because you've always it's very easy 716 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,560 Speaker 1: to lose sight of how hard it is, um, and 717 00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,520 Speaker 1: I just very much appreciate how much you've just been like, 718 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,719 Speaker 1: this is an accomplishment you need to recognize. Yeah, and celebrating. 719 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 1: I think we always remind each other, like, hey, this 720 00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:26,839 Speaker 1: is actually an incredible thing. I think you're caught up 721 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:30,040 Speaker 1: in the moment. You don't realize that this is awesome. Yeah, definitely, 722 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,120 Speaker 1: like celebrate yourself. I think we both do good at 723 00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,719 Speaker 1: reminding each other of that, Like this is actually a 724 00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:37,400 Speaker 1: big deal. I know you're caught up in the moment 725 00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:41,279 Speaker 1: and it all might be stressful, but like celebrate this. Yeah, right, 726 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,719 Speaker 1: and we got each other, We got each other. Just 727 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:48,399 Speaker 1: love fest right here. I know, Olivia, I okay, First 728 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,720 Speaker 1: of all, make sure you follow Olivia on social media. 729 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:55,680 Speaker 1: Make sure you follow Sammy as well. She has great content, 730 00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:59,200 Speaker 1: gorgeous gorgeous content. That's the thing I've been trying. I 731 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,800 Speaker 1: go back and forth. I'm sometimes I'm like I should post, 732 00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:05,120 Speaker 1: and othertimes I'm like, I can't. It's the struggle. It's 733 00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 1: so an ongoing struggle, I know, because you're thinking it 734 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,239 Speaker 1: as a business. Of course, at the same time we're 735 00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:13,640 Speaker 1: called teenage girls. Yeah, and it's also like interacting with 736 00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:17,680 Speaker 1: um friends and fans is so cool. So I think 737 00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,000 Speaker 1: when I think about it through that lens, I'm like, oh, yeah, 738 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:21,920 Speaker 1: I do want to post. I do want to share 739 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:25,200 Speaker 1: things because um, I don't know, I just want to 740 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,120 Speaker 1: I want to use my platform. So it is that 741 00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,080 Speaker 1: mix of like I don't want to post on social media, 742 00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:32,080 Speaker 1: but which I totally get because social media is it 743 00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,680 Speaker 1: you're start because you're not on Snapchat, I'm not. No, 744 00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,360 Speaker 1: I think that is when you are so mentally clear. 745 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,759 Speaker 1: I genuinely think. So I've only heard, you know, stories 746 00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:48,279 Speaker 1: about snap scores and all that good stuff, and when 747 00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,839 Speaker 1: people ask for my snapchat, Like, so, I remember I 748 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,040 Speaker 1: did like when we want some girls like I don't 749 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:54,680 Speaker 1: have a Snapchat. I was like, you thought it was 750 00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:56,520 Speaker 1: so weird. No I didn't. I was like, this is 751 00:39:56,560 --> 00:40:00,640 Speaker 1: kind of nice. I d like it cool. Yeah. Remember, 752 00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,320 Speaker 1: I think like borrowed your phone to use the filters 753 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:06,080 Speaker 1: because back in the day when Snapchat filters were good, right, 754 00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:09,359 Speaker 1: didn't I remember the dog filter? Oh my gosh, yes, 755 00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,880 Speaker 1: I just liked the Like, I feel like Snapchat is 756 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 1: one of those, like the most unnecessary social media platforms, 757 00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:19,520 Speaker 1: Like it just does more harm than good. I agree. 758 00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:24,719 Speaker 1: Do you remember the flower crown filter? Remember the unicorn 759 00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:26,480 Speaker 1: and when like you open your mouth like a rainbow 760 00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,279 Speaker 1: tongue would come out. Yes, yes, that was this was 761 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:36,080 Speaker 1: like when it was actually like good, Yeah, we don't 762 00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:39,160 Speaker 1: need Snapchat get often. You know, it's so true. There's 763 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:44,359 Speaker 1: plenty of other social media platforms. Exactly. Sometimes I wish 764 00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,440 Speaker 1: we lived in a world where there was no social media. 765 00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,799 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh too, I feel like all the time, right, 766 00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,280 Speaker 1: all the time, things were based on your talent instead 767 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:56,799 Speaker 1: of followers. Absolutely, OLIVI and I've talked about this, but 768 00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,839 Speaker 1: I can't imagine how frustrating it is to not get 769 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:03,080 Speaker 1: role or should be considered because of a lack of followers. 770 00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:07,320 Speaker 1: And it's not about talent when it should be about talent. Yeah, yeah, 771 00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,560 Speaker 1: that's tough. It is. It is. I know you know this, 772 00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,560 Speaker 1: but like I understand it. I understand that this is 773 00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:16,960 Speaker 1: a side, but um, you know, I think actors were 774 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:21,600 Speaker 1: just such fragile people. We can't deal with that. We're 775 00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:26,080 Speaker 1: so sensitive as an artist, yes, the artist, Yes I 776 00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,080 Speaker 1: can't do with that. No, I'm just kidding, but no, 777 00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,520 Speaker 1: I think that Again, that's back to the craft thing, 778 00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:33,880 Speaker 1: like you gotta love the craft enough for all that 779 00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,879 Speaker 1: to be worth it. Yeah, I feel that right. Um, 780 00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:40,320 Speaker 1: if you're ever wondering what our conversations are, like, Um, 781 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,680 Speaker 1: this is it, this is it, this is it, this 782 00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:47,000 Speaker 1: is our friendship in a nutshell.
