<v Speaker 1>Hey guys, and welcome back to this week's episode of

0:00:07.640 --> 0:00:11.320
<v Speaker 1>lestin World podcast. I can't believe that it is mid December.

0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:14.360
<v Speaker 1>I was at lunch with friends today and then I realized,

0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:19.160
<v Speaker 1>oh my goodness, next month is two, which quite literally

0:00:19.160 --> 0:00:20.919
<v Speaker 1>freaked me out. So I don't know if you guys

0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:24.720
<v Speaker 1>have come to that realization yet, but there you go. Anyways, um,

0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:30.040
<v Speaker 1>this week is such a incredible and full circle episode

0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:33.120
<v Speaker 1>because one of my closest friends, Olivia so Naviia is

0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:36.280
<v Speaker 1>my guest. Now you may know her from Amazon's Just

0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Said Magic or Disney Channel's Cooping Cammy, but she is

0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:43.680
<v Speaker 1>genuinely one of the most talented, hardworking and driven people

0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:46.279
<v Speaker 1>I know. And I love this episode and I hope

0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:56.680
<v Speaker 1>you do too. Yeah, Olivia, this is super exciting. Okay,

0:00:56.720 --> 0:01:02.600
<v Speaker 1>everybody the Olivia Sonavia is this week's my podcast. Hi guys,

0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:05.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm so honored to be here. Okay, can I tell

0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:08.240
<v Speaker 1>you why this is so crazy? The first time we

0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:11.920
<v Speaker 1>met was not to let people know I met Olivia

0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:15.200
<v Speaker 1>and I was interviewing around a red carpet for Beauty

0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:19.479
<v Speaker 1>can in l a team and we found this video

0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:21.479
<v Speaker 1>a few months ago, and the first time we met

0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:25.960
<v Speaker 1>we shook hands when so, why did we shake hands?

0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:31.000
<v Speaker 1>It was awkward. It was awkward professionals. Yeah, but it's

0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:33.360
<v Speaker 1>just weird because I've never we Olivia and I have

0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:36.720
<v Speaker 1>become very close friends since we've developed a friendship, which

0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:39.000
<v Speaker 1>was kind of out of nowhere. It was, it was

0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:41.319
<v Speaker 1>out of nowhere, but I think it's so awesome and

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:44.760
<v Speaker 1>now here we are. We're here. I'm so excited to

0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 1>be here. You guys, I'm such a fan of Let's

0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:50.920
<v Speaker 1>be real, and I'm honored to be here today. Olivia

0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:53.800
<v Speaker 1>has been one of the only people in my life,

0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:56.240
<v Speaker 1>one of my friends besides like my family, that has

0:01:56.280 --> 0:01:59.400
<v Speaker 1>truly supported me through this. I remember when I was

0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:02.320
<v Speaker 1>working on the pitch deck for the podcast. I told

0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:04.320
<v Speaker 1>her when I got the pilot. I remember we were

0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:07.280
<v Speaker 1>walking around the growth and I was even one of

0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:09.519
<v Speaker 1>the people because you get it, you get how much

0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:12.840
<v Speaker 1>work goes into it, and I've just always really appreciated

0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:15.880
<v Speaker 1>that and just our friendship. It's we are. We are friendship.

0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:18.280
<v Speaker 1>I'd say we were friends, but I think the pandemic

0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:20.960
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. It brought us together. Did we faced

0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:24.720
<v Speaker 1>the FaceTime? Yeah, We've had a long distance friendship mainly

0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 1>over FaceTime. Yeah, I mean we've lived on separate sides

0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:31.639
<v Speaker 1>of the country for as the majority of our friendship,

0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:35.359
<v Speaker 1>and m it's just crazy that it's become such a

0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:39.000
<v Speaker 1>close friendship because we've seen each other like not as

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:42.399
<v Speaker 1>many times to equal how close we are Max ten

0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:46.800
<v Speaker 1>times if that? Oh yeah Max, Maybe I know. Isn't

0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:49.280
<v Speaker 1>that sad? That's weird and only thinking about that, But

0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:51.880
<v Speaker 1>we faced time more than I've ever FaceTime to anybody

0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:54.919
<v Speaker 1>else in my life. Really, yes, we faced them at

0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:58.160
<v Speaker 1>least if it goes two weeks, that's a lot. That's like,

0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:01.000
<v Speaker 1>that's true. You brought me out of my my shell

0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:04.480
<v Speaker 1>because like before our friendship, I didn't like FaceTime. I

0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:07.200
<v Speaker 1>like to have like photos and yes, totally. I was

0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:10.480
<v Speaker 1>always like, no, I don't like FaceTime. It's weird, it

0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 1>feels awkward. Until you really brought me out of my

0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:14.600
<v Speaker 1>shell and I was like, you know what, I just

0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:19.880
<v Speaker 1>got an amazing friendship over FaceTime. I love that. I remember,

0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:22.840
<v Speaker 1>so I interviewed Beauty con l A. It was I

0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:24.480
<v Speaker 1>don't know, we need to find that interview that'd be

0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:26.800
<v Speaker 1>so funny to watch. But then I remember I was

0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:29.040
<v Speaker 1>doing a piece for Radio Disney and you were around

0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:31.400
<v Speaker 1>the Disney show Coop and Cammy UM, and I was

0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:32.959
<v Speaker 1>doing like a behind the scenes and it was a

0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:35.280
<v Speaker 1>few days later, and I remember you remembered me from

0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:39.320
<v Speaker 1>the interview and we exchange numbers and then I complimented

0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:41.600
<v Speaker 1>your camera and remember they did I remember that. And

0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 1>then I remember a few months later I found out

0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:45.680
<v Speaker 1>you're in New York and I d M D randomly.

0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:47.600
<v Speaker 1>I was like, hey, like, I want to see a

0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:51.440
<v Speaker 1>Broadway show. You saw Mean Girls, and it was amazing.

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:54.040
<v Speaker 1>You got dinner, I know, And that's how I think

0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:56.320
<v Speaker 1>it all started. And we barely knew each other. I

0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 1>was out in New York and um, when Sammy reached out,

0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:00.440
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh my gosh. I was really nervous

0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:02.440
<v Speaker 1>to reach out because it was when I was in

0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:05.040
<v Speaker 1>high school's right when I was going through all that

0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:08.240
<v Speaker 1>ship that was terrible, and I was like, Okay, let

0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:11.040
<v Speaker 1>me try and just put myself out there and meet

0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:13.080
<v Speaker 1>some new people. And I remember Damn and he was like, Okay,

0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:15.400
<v Speaker 1>we'll see what happens, right, And I at the time

0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:17.880
<v Speaker 1>like I needed some more friendships in my life. And

0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:20.120
<v Speaker 1>so when you reached out, honestly, I was so excited.

0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:23.080
<v Speaker 1>And you know, when you're on vacation somewhere you don't

0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:25.039
<v Speaker 1>like or I guess it was maybe more of a

0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:27.880
<v Speaker 1>work trip you don't expect to, like, I don't know,

0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:30.840
<v Speaker 1>hang out with people that you don't don't know there.

0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:33.040
<v Speaker 1>But we had so much fun. We hit it off

0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:35.080
<v Speaker 1>that night. I feel like weird. That was our first

0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:37.159
<v Speaker 1>Like I remember you coming in the restaurant because we

0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:39.320
<v Speaker 1>got dinner before, and it was just like we've known

0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:41.320
<v Speaker 1>each other for a really long time, and I remember

0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:43.640
<v Speaker 1>us both being like, wait, this is a little odd,

0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:46.960
<v Speaker 1>how comfortable this is. It was a little weird because,

0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:49.359
<v Speaker 1>like you said, we had only met each other in

0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:53.800
<v Speaker 1>a work setting two times before and they were very short. Yeah,

0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:58.280
<v Speaker 1>isn't that crazy. It's so weird. We kind of friendship

0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:03.200
<v Speaker 1>development story ever, and then we have what three years now. Yeah,

0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:08.039
<v Speaker 1>I think, so that's crazy. I remember when I saw you, um, because,

0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:09.360
<v Speaker 1>like I said, I was on set. It was so

0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:12.920
<v Speaker 1>interesting to see your work ethic and see how set's going.

0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:16.640
<v Speaker 1>What people don't realize like Disney especially, it's very glamorized,

0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:18.640
<v Speaker 1>but it's a set is a lot of hurry up

0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:22.360
<v Speaker 1>and wait, which is yes, people don't talk about right,

0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:25.760
<v Speaker 1>And I think when you're it's more waiting when you're

0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:27.960
<v Speaker 1>an adult, but when you're a kid, it's a lot

0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:32.040
<v Speaker 1>of um school work. You know, I was still um

0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:34.440
<v Speaker 1>in school. I mean I'm eighteen now, but I was

0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:36.479
<v Speaker 1>still in school when when I was filming Coop and CAMMI.

0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:39.880
<v Speaker 1>So you're not working, you're doing school in the classroom.

0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:44.360
<v Speaker 1>So I know it's crazy, but um, I think that's

0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:46.159
<v Speaker 1>like the question people always have is like, how do

0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:49.560
<v Speaker 1>you balance school and work life? You have to, like

0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:54.359
<v Speaker 1>you have completely, So what would you say a average

0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:57.040
<v Speaker 1>day on set was like for you? Well, we kind

0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:59.359
<v Speaker 1>of had a weekly schedule because it was a multi

0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.359
<v Speaker 1>cam show, so that is kind of like a set

0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:05.359
<v Speaker 1>schedule every week. So Monday we had a table read

0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:08.400
<v Speaker 1>in school, and then Tuesday we rehearsed all day and

0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:12.080
<v Speaker 1>did school, and then Wednesday we rehearsed again, and we

0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:14.880
<v Speaker 1>had what's called the network run through, where we would

0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:17.960
<v Speaker 1>do the whole show as like a play for the network,

0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:20.680
<v Speaker 1>and they would come and do notes and make revisions,

0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:24.000
<v Speaker 1>and then Thursday and Friday we would film and we

0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.080
<v Speaker 1>didn't get much school work done on Thursday and Friday,

0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:29.240
<v Speaker 1>we banked it all on the three days beforehand, so

0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:33.680
<v Speaker 1>that's crazy to think of your schedule. What was that like?

0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.400
<v Speaker 1>Do you feel like, because I know we've talked about this,

0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:39.200
<v Speaker 1>I've always felt older than my actual age and I

0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:42.320
<v Speaker 1>know you have to, but what have you ever felt

0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:45.520
<v Speaker 1>any resentment from not being able to have that whatever

0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:48.880
<v Speaker 1>the normal experience is or is it you just you

0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:50.800
<v Speaker 1>just kind of like me where it's like I've always

0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:54.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of not really jived with that. Oh my gosh, exactly.

0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:55.800
<v Speaker 1>I think that's why we get along so well, is

0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:58.640
<v Speaker 1>because we have that in common. I've always felt a

0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:00.599
<v Speaker 1>lot older than I am. I've a aways felt like

0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:05.440
<v Speaker 1>an adult trapped inside a kid's body. Um. I think

0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:08.640
<v Speaker 1>I never had any resentment towards not having like a

0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:13.600
<v Speaker 1>typical childhood or going to regular school. I, to be honest,

0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:16.800
<v Speaker 1>never really desired it. Yeah, I didn't love it. I

0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:19.600
<v Speaker 1>went to public school and I didn't love it. That's

0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:23.760
<v Speaker 1>being so honest, And UM, I think certain things. I

0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:27.720
<v Speaker 1>just I was never sad about not having a problem

0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:31.800
<v Speaker 1>or not having a regular graduation or those things. I

0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:34.760
<v Speaker 1>in my own head, I was. I realized that I

0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:37.600
<v Speaker 1>was having just different experiences. I didn't feel like I

0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:39.440
<v Speaker 1>was losing out on anything. I was just having a

0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:44.800
<v Speaker 1>different experience. You're having so many life experience to right,

0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:47.800
<v Speaker 1>and it is an adult world, an adult business. So

0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:51.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad that I've kind of felt like an old

0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:53.160
<v Speaker 1>soul on my life because it kind of prepared me

0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:56.480
<v Speaker 1>for being in an adult business. But no, I honestly

0:07:56.800 --> 0:08:01.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm so happy with like not having that true additional childhood.

0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:03.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't feel like I missed out. And you know,

0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:06.080
<v Speaker 1>it's really interesting because in our friendship, we don't really

0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:08.920
<v Speaker 1>talk about work really. We just talk about whatever. We

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:12.160
<v Speaker 1>talk about everything. Um, but how long have you been

0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:17.040
<v Speaker 1>working for I became an actress when I was seven

0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:20.240
<v Speaker 1>years old, so I've been in this business for eleven years. Okay,

0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:23.320
<v Speaker 1>so from seven to eleven, what were you working on?

0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:26.559
<v Speaker 1>Wizardes Show appearances, commercials, auditions, that kind of stuff. Yeah,

0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:29.160
<v Speaker 1>I just kind of when I was seven, which is

0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:32.400
<v Speaker 1>like such a little little age. Um, I just hit

0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:36.240
<v Speaker 1>the ground running with like commercials, and I trained. I

0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:39.400
<v Speaker 1>was really adamant about training. I still am. I think

0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:41.480
<v Speaker 1>like the best thing anybody can do as an actor

0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:44.440
<v Speaker 1>is trained, like know your stuff, no your craft, fall

0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:46.880
<v Speaker 1>in love with your craft. You know, you gotta love it,

0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:49.920
<v Speaker 1>you don't want to just and we're in such an

0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:53.240
<v Speaker 1>time where so many people are going into acting without

0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:55.000
<v Speaker 1>the love of it, but just as a money grab

0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:58.160
<v Speaker 1>in a way that it's very refreshing to see you.

0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:00.920
<v Speaker 1>You hustle, you really do because you love your craft.

0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:03.800
<v Speaker 1>Thank you. I love my craft. I love acting, and

0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:06.400
<v Speaker 1>I think I fell in love with it through studying

0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:09.200
<v Speaker 1>and working with different acting coaches and and being in

0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:11.600
<v Speaker 1>class consistently. That's how I fell in love with it.

0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:14.280
<v Speaker 1>And that's what gave me the ability to be resilient

0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:16.959
<v Speaker 1>through the rejection of this business. Um, because I love

0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:19.199
<v Speaker 1>it so much. I love it. It's I mean, it's

0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:22.760
<v Speaker 1>my passion. I couldn't do life without it, So I

0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:25.360
<v Speaker 1>think you really have to love it. And um, I

0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:28.959
<v Speaker 1>was grateful for that time of doing commercials and auditioning

0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:31.280
<v Speaker 1>a ton when I was like, like you said, seven

0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:34.559
<v Speaker 1>to eleven, and making coast our guests, our appearances and

0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:36.679
<v Speaker 1>training and that that's what I was doing. And then

0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:40.680
<v Speaker 1>when just that magic happened, life was completely different. Just

0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:44.480
<v Speaker 1>how magic happened. I started filming it when I was eleven, okay,

0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:48.400
<v Speaker 1>eleven fift I think, Yeah, what about acting? Do you love?

0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:51.959
<v Speaker 1>I always think about this, and I think it's living

0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:55.559
<v Speaker 1>through other people. Like, as humans, we get one life

0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:58.080
<v Speaker 1>and we only get to live through our eyes. And

0:09:58.120 --> 0:09:59.720
<v Speaker 1>I think in acting, I get to live through the

0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:02.839
<v Speaker 1>len of so many different people and have I feel

0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:05.520
<v Speaker 1>like I have different life experiences through the characters I've

0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:09.400
<v Speaker 1>lived through. Honestly, Wow, that's awesome. Thanks. And to affect people.

0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:11.840
<v Speaker 1>I used to go into the movie theater and just

0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:14.600
<v Speaker 1>be so deeply affected by movies. I mean I still am,

0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:17.680
<v Speaker 1>but even as a kid. Like the reason I became

0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:19.560
<v Speaker 1>an actress is because I went to the movie theater

0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:23.240
<v Speaker 1>and I saw a movie called Ramona, and I talked

0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:25.960
<v Speaker 1>about remember when she ran away? Oh my gosh, of

0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:29.679
<v Speaker 1>course I did. I cried traumatizing that song, the Taylor

0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:32.319
<v Speaker 1>Swift song that adn't Nolla. When she's walking up the

0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:35.720
<v Speaker 1>hill by herself. It's hard, I know, and she brings

0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:38.480
<v Speaker 1>her mom puts the bowling ball in her backpack because

0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:40.040
<v Speaker 1>she doesn't want her to leave, and she knows it's

0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:42.720
<v Speaker 1>going to get too heavy for her to carry. Yeah,

0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:46.200
<v Speaker 1>I know this movie back my head. Yeah, And I

0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:49.320
<v Speaker 1>think I was so deeply affected by everything I watched

0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:52.480
<v Speaker 1>and I was just I just wanted to make people

0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:56.240
<v Speaker 1>feel And that's those are the two things about acting

0:10:56.280 --> 0:11:00.160
<v Speaker 1>that I love so much. And then you later when

0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:01.680
<v Speaker 1>you in your acting career, you fall in love with

0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:04.679
<v Speaker 1>a set environment and working with the crew, But first

0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:08.160
<v Speaker 1>you have to love acting because it's the bones of

0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:11.520
<v Speaker 1>the career, you know. Yeah, would you say we are

0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:14.760
<v Speaker 1>in such a divisive world right now where it feels

0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:17.400
<v Speaker 1>like there's more hate than love. Do you think by

0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:20.640
<v Speaker 1>being an actor and getting to go into different characters

0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:24.839
<v Speaker 1>has made you more of an empathetic person? Oh? Absolutely, absolutely.

0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:27.800
<v Speaker 1>I think it teaches you um to be a lot

0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:31.120
<v Speaker 1>less judgmental, you know what I mean. I think when

0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:34.360
<v Speaker 1>you do so much research about a character like I've

0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:37.000
<v Speaker 1>I've done, you know a lot of research, whether it's

0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:41.160
<v Speaker 1>for auditions or for roles on you know, different subjects,

0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:45.280
<v Speaker 1>um like different diseases and things like that that the

0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:48.480
<v Speaker 1>character might have. And I think it just teaches you

0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:51.240
<v Speaker 1>that everybody has a different story to tell and that

0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:55.360
<v Speaker 1>everybody struggles. And yeah, absolutely, it makes me more empathetic.

0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:58.120
<v Speaker 1>I think you kind of have to be if you're

0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:00.240
<v Speaker 1>going to be an actor. But that's also great tool

0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:03.200
<v Speaker 1>that you have just in life now, to be able

0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:05.640
<v Speaker 1>to see something on the surface and then kind of

0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:08.079
<v Speaker 1>real evaluate like, is this all there is to it?

0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:10.839
<v Speaker 1>Or is it a deeper issue? Oh yeah, totally. Because

0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:13.960
<v Speaker 1>we only see people we know, We only see the

0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:16.160
<v Speaker 1>life that they choose to show us. So I think

0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:18.280
<v Speaker 1>when you get to dive deep into a character, you

0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:20.200
<v Speaker 1>get to see all the stuff that you only know

0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:22.960
<v Speaker 1>of yourself. You know, all the private moments and all

0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:25.760
<v Speaker 1>the things they say to themselves, And when you dive

0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:27.600
<v Speaker 1>into a character, you have to see all of that.

0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:30.319
<v Speaker 1>What how they interact with other people, how they interact

0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:33.280
<v Speaker 1>with when they're by themselves, you know what I mean? Yeah,

0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:36.040
<v Speaker 1>what would you say? I think we've talked about on

0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:40.440
<v Speaker 1>the podcast a lot, the highlight reel of social media, Yes, um,

0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:43.040
<v Speaker 1>and I know you know how it's affected me a

0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:45.160
<v Speaker 1>lot and how I've had to just delete the app

0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:47.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, quite so many times. What would you say

0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:51.760
<v Speaker 1>The biggest misconception about you is, oh, my gosh, Sammy

0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:57.000
<v Speaker 1>with the hard hitting flue. Okay, I think, on a

0:12:57.200 --> 0:13:01.920
<v Speaker 1>lighter note, I think I'm a lot goofier then people see.

0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:04.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think I'm funnier than people see. I

0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:07.560
<v Speaker 1>agree with that. I really didn't. I don't know. No,

0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:10.760
<v Speaker 1>I agree with that. I absolutely like, Oh I'm funny,

0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:12.720
<v Speaker 1>but no, I just mean that. I think I'm a

0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:17.280
<v Speaker 1>little more relaxed. I'm super chill, you know what I mean.

0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:20.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm very reserved. I'm not. I feel like I know

0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:23.040
<v Speaker 1>a misconception about you that people go for it, and

0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:25.319
<v Speaker 1>I want to know. So. I did not realize how

0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:30.080
<v Speaker 1>big of a Twilight fan Olivia was. Um, I haven't

0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:32.480
<v Speaker 1>seen the Twilight yet. I know we need to make

0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:35.160
<v Speaker 1>that happen. We've been talking about it. I am honored

0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:37.560
<v Speaker 1>that you've just given me a platform to discuss my

0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:41.000
<v Speaker 1>Twilight addiction. I you're right, I do what people know

0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:44.400
<v Speaker 1>about this. Um, I mean like I do post like

0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:50.679
<v Speaker 1>on the anniversary of Winter. I can't say I do post. Um,

0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:54.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, the anniversary of when Twilight came out. Um,

0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:57.800
<v Speaker 1>if anybody wants to know, I'm obviously team Edward. I've

0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:01.319
<v Speaker 1>posted a couple of TikTok's. I do have Bella's engagement ring.

0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:04.920
<v Speaker 1>Um that's like me, I that was. I think your

0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:08.520
<v Speaker 1>obsession of Twilight is like similar to my obsession with

0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:11.360
<v Speaker 1>high school musical like I see the Team Troy necklace.

0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:14.679
<v Speaker 1>Of course. Oh I always wanted that, right, Oh my goodness,

0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:17.360
<v Speaker 1>if Zach put it on me, yeah, that was that

0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:20.360
<v Speaker 1>was what I really wanted. But I mean, when't the necklace?

0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:22.600
<v Speaker 1>Was there some because I haven't seen the movies, was

0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:25.720
<v Speaker 1>there some equivalent that Edward did that you would want

0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Patterson to do? Um? I, oh gosh, I mean there's

0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:34.440
<v Speaker 1>so much I I know, you know what I mean,

0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:38.080
<v Speaker 1>Like vampires. Well, no, I see, this is when I

0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:40.760
<v Speaker 1>wish that you've seen the movies with me, Sammy, because

0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:43.560
<v Speaker 1>the whole premis is that he's reluctant to bite her.

0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:47.360
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't want to change her into a vampire. And yeah,

0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:51.640
<v Speaker 1>so I think I love all the quotes from I

0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:54.640
<v Speaker 1>love all the quotes from the movies. Um like and

0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:58.920
<v Speaker 1>so the line fell in love with the lamb, like yeah,

0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:01.360
<v Speaker 1>all all, there's how much good stuff? And then there's

0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:04.880
<v Speaker 1>like this thing about Spider Monkey and there's a lot

0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:07.360
<v Speaker 1>of good things. Are all foreign things. We really need

0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:10.720
<v Speaker 1>to make it happen, like wee like a movie marathon. Yeah,

0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:13.800
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you now what My favorite. I bet people

0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:19.640
<v Speaker 1>are going to agree my favorite is Breaking Dawn Part one. Okay,

0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:25.640
<v Speaker 1>so that's the fourth movie you're in for the first

0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:30.680
<v Speaker 1>one we're going to watch or we must go chronologically. Okay,

0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:35.200
<v Speaker 1>how many movies are there? There's five? Five? Yeah. I'm

0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:37.440
<v Speaker 1>trying to think of like something I can share with

0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:39.240
<v Speaker 1>you from the movies that I don't want to know.

0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:42.400
<v Speaker 1>I want to be a surprise if they did, like

0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:46.120
<v Speaker 1>a Twilight reboot. Oh, would you be into that? Or

0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:48.600
<v Speaker 1>you're kind of sick of reboots? Because I feel like

0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:50.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm a little sick of reboots. But if they asked

0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:52.960
<v Speaker 1>you to be like Olivia, what do you want to

0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:55.040
<v Speaker 1>be in a Twilight? I mean, I get where you're

0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:57.640
<v Speaker 1>coming from with the reboot thing, but no, I am.

0:15:57.840 --> 0:16:01.080
<v Speaker 1>I would be in to do a Twilight all the way.

0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:05.280
<v Speaker 1>Would you say that's your dream character? Yeah, that's like

0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:07.960
<v Speaker 1>my funny dream one. Okay, what about like actual dream

0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:11.520
<v Speaker 1>real dream ones? I guess. I mean I would love

0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:14.960
<v Speaker 1>to play Juliette in some adaptation of Romeo and Juliette.

0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:18.440
<v Speaker 1>You're obsessed with Shakespeare too, I forgot about that. I am.

0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:21.280
<v Speaker 1>The obsession is real. Yeah, you have a song called

0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:24.720
<v Speaker 1>stars Cross I do very much so inspired by Romeo

0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:30.560
<v Speaker 1>and Juliette. Yeah, I've seen basically every movie adaptation there is, really, Yes,

0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:32.360
<v Speaker 1>you want to know. My favorite is of course, have

0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:34.960
<v Speaker 1>you seen the Basil Arman one with Leonardo DiCaprio and

0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Clare Dain's I might have? I might have in school? Actually, yeah,

0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:41.720
<v Speaker 1>people make you watch in school. But I saw that

0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:44.560
<v Speaker 1>movie for school. Actually I was supposed to watch one

0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:47.160
<v Speaker 1>of the versions, and I fell in love with it.

0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:51.160
<v Speaker 1>Leonardo DiCaprio, he is my favorite actor. I think he's

0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:54.560
<v Speaker 1>a genius. Yeah, I think he's a genius. I love him.

0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:57.160
<v Speaker 1>Of course, Young Leo has my heart. I mean Young

0:16:57.280 --> 0:17:00.560
<v Speaker 1>Leo's Young Leo, but like as an actor, he to

0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:04.439
<v Speaker 1>me is a genius. Are you more of a visual person? Yes?

0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:07.919
<v Speaker 1>I think so. Yeah, because when I like study for

0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:10.840
<v Speaker 1>tests before I take the test, and I'm studying and

0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:13.160
<v Speaker 1>I look in a book, like in the textbook, I'll

0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:17.720
<v Speaker 1>remember like the location of the paragraph of the word,

0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:22.600
<v Speaker 1>but I won't remember every detail. I'll just remember that

0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:25.760
<v Speaker 1>whatever information I'm looking for was near that location that

0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:28.720
<v Speaker 1>sometimes like close you in. Do you have a photographic

0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:33.600
<v Speaker 1>photographic memory? I think maybe, like a little little Your

0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:37.640
<v Speaker 1>testo last night went well. It went well, guys. Olivia

0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:41.000
<v Speaker 1>is a sophomore in college, which I was not. She's

0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:44.560
<v Speaker 1>just cranking through the classes. Thank you. Yeah, it was

0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:49.720
<v Speaker 1>my um last psychology tests, so that was really a

0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:53.520
<v Speaker 1>great feeling. I'm done with that. Okay, let's transition from

0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:56.280
<v Speaker 1>psychology to mental health. But first we have to take

0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:58.400
<v Speaker 1>a quick break, and when we come back, we'll talk

0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:00.200
<v Speaker 1>more about that. I want to hear more of out

0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:02.959
<v Speaker 1>your music, and I know you have some crazy right

0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:05.920
<v Speaker 1>carpet stories, so let's get into those and so much more.

0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:16.640
<v Speaker 1>We'll be right back and we're back. Mental health can

0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:19.560
<v Speaker 1>be especially tough for so many this time of year.

0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:23.360
<v Speaker 1>How is your mental health? It's pretty good. Good, it's

0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:25.239
<v Speaker 1>pretty good. This time of year is really good for me.

0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:29.200
<v Speaker 1>You love this time of year, so I do. I do, honestly,

0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:32.600
<v Speaker 1>Like there's just something inside me that like gets an

0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:35.720
<v Speaker 1>immense amount of joy from it just being the holiday

0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:40.000
<v Speaker 1>to remember in August. You're like, I'm so exciting. Slow down.

0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:43.240
<v Speaker 1>I know, yeah, I know. Basically, I just try and

0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:47.320
<v Speaker 1>get through Thanksgiving and Halloween. I'm just kidding. I love

0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:49.679
<v Speaker 1>those two, but the goal of the year is to

0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:54.320
<v Speaker 1>get to Christmas. Okay, what about after Christmas? After Christmas.

0:18:54.400 --> 0:18:56.399
<v Speaker 1>I love a new year. I love a fresh start,

0:18:57.119 --> 0:19:00.000
<v Speaker 1>and your Valentine's Day always makes me a little depressed

0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:02.320
<v Speaker 1>because every year I'm like, oh, maybe next year, and

0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:06.000
<v Speaker 1>then it just comes around. We're young, we're young. We

0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:10.399
<v Speaker 1>can be each other's exactly exactly we need to do

0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:15.919
<v Speaker 1>our holiday. Um, I know, every stop it Okay, min

0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:18.440
<v Speaker 1>hasn't come yet. It's ordered though, so I will ship

0:19:18.440 --> 0:19:20.840
<v Speaker 1>into your house. But every like, for the past two years,

0:19:20.960 --> 0:19:23.840
<v Speaker 1>Olivia and I have been doing this gift swap where

0:19:23.880 --> 0:19:28.840
<v Speaker 1>we send each other like holiday presents, and it's so

0:19:28.920 --> 0:19:32.359
<v Speaker 1>much fun. I love getting creative with it. I know

0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:36.040
<v Speaker 1>last year because I mean we obviously weren't together, so

0:19:36.440 --> 0:19:40.640
<v Speaker 1>we send each other these like boxes. You decorated it.

0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:42.560
<v Speaker 1>It was so fun. I had so much fun putting

0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:45.800
<v Speaker 1>it together. I know. I have written notes when every

0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:48.199
<v Speaker 1>I haven't told you Va Silvia over face time for

0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:51.960
<v Speaker 1>like the past eight months. Anytime you say something, I

0:19:51.960 --> 0:19:53.919
<v Speaker 1>write it down on my notes section. I do this

0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:56.159
<v Speaker 1>for like people close in my life, so I like

0:19:56.240 --> 0:19:58.520
<v Speaker 1>remember these things so that for the gift I can

0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:00.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of put it together these like well things you've

0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:02.639
<v Speaker 1>said in the path. That's genius. Yes, I think I

0:20:02.640 --> 0:20:06.800
<v Speaker 1>remember you did that because Sammy is an excellent gift giver.

0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:09.480
<v Speaker 1>That's like a little fun fact people don't really know. Excellent,

0:20:09.640 --> 0:20:11.800
<v Speaker 1>like so good. Last year you were telling me everything

0:20:11.840 --> 0:20:14.640
<v Speaker 1>you were getting for your family, and I was amazed.

0:20:15.200 --> 0:20:17.439
<v Speaker 1>Didn't I tell you to get your sibling um to

0:20:18.520 --> 0:20:23.600
<v Speaker 1>adopt the yes or to get the star yes or no?

0:20:23.680 --> 0:20:26.280
<v Speaker 1>You told me to get them um to adopt like

0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:32.159
<v Speaker 1>an animal online to Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, man. That

0:20:32.200 --> 0:20:33.520
<v Speaker 1>was like that was a good idea on my part.

0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:35.879
<v Speaker 1>It was a great idea and I totally ended up

0:20:35.960 --> 0:20:40.359
<v Speaker 1>using it. I mean, guys, Sammy for your gift giving needs.

0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:43.840
<v Speaker 1>You know what I say, Olivia should make a cookbook

0:20:44.359 --> 0:20:46.959
<v Speaker 1>and I do a gift guy gift book and then

0:20:47.000 --> 0:20:50.800
<v Speaker 1>we can bundle it. That sounds great. Yeah, okay, a

0:20:50.880 --> 0:20:55.800
<v Speaker 1>cookbook slash gift giving guide, like all in one book.

0:20:55.840 --> 0:20:58.080
<v Speaker 1>Is this like a perfect idea? I think it is.

0:20:58.280 --> 0:21:01.560
<v Speaker 1>You can self published on Amazon. Let's do it. I mean,

0:21:01.920 --> 0:21:04.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm something that has It's so weird to me that

0:21:04.600 --> 0:21:08.920
<v Speaker 1>it's almost two. It's like we're coming to the end

0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:11.920
<v Speaker 1>of season three. I know, guys, I'm such a fan.

0:21:12.040 --> 0:21:16.080
<v Speaker 1>It hasn't been an amazing season. Oh, honestly, this has

0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:18.000
<v Speaker 1>been my favorite season. I loved him all, but this

0:21:18.040 --> 0:21:21.520
<v Speaker 1>has been my favorite. Really. Yes, Olivia has been one

0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:25.360
<v Speaker 1>of the o G listeners o G, but like I

0:21:25.400 --> 0:21:29.560
<v Speaker 1>have been sometimes it can be very overwhelming to do

0:21:29.640 --> 0:21:33.280
<v Speaker 1>the podcast while being in school, and um, Olivia has

0:21:33.320 --> 0:21:36.159
<v Speaker 1>just always like whenever I get stressed, she's just like

0:21:36.240 --> 0:21:38.280
<v Speaker 1>she says, no, like you're doing it, like you're doing

0:21:38.320 --> 0:21:40.719
<v Speaker 1>a great job. And your support has just always literally

0:21:40.760 --> 0:21:45.399
<v Speaker 1>meant so much. Same. Thank you, Sammy. I mean, Sammy

0:21:45.560 --> 0:21:48.400
<v Speaker 1>is maybe the most supportive person that I've ever met,

0:21:48.960 --> 0:21:52.800
<v Speaker 1>Like she's always cheering me on and the definitely I

0:21:52.840 --> 0:21:55.160
<v Speaker 1>always say that Sammy is the definition of a true friend.

0:21:55.240 --> 0:22:00.199
<v Speaker 1>So I'm like, I love our friendship. Came one of

0:22:00.200 --> 0:22:02.560
<v Speaker 1>the most random place too, it did. Is this your

0:22:02.560 --> 0:22:08.679
<v Speaker 1>first podcast? Um, I think it might be podcastsh my

0:22:08.880 --> 0:22:12.800
<v Speaker 1>der debut. What's the question you've never been asked before

0:22:12.800 --> 0:22:16.399
<v Speaker 1>that you're like, Oh, I wish someone would ask me this. Um,

0:22:16.400 --> 0:22:20.959
<v Speaker 1>oh my gosh, I don't know, because I was I

0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:22.800
<v Speaker 1>was doing By the way, it's very weird to do

0:22:22.880 --> 0:22:25.800
<v Speaker 1>research on your friend. I like, I was like, I

0:22:25.880 --> 0:22:27.280
<v Speaker 1>was like, I was trying to be prepared but then

0:22:27.320 --> 0:22:28.719
<v Speaker 1>I was like, you know what, I don't really know

0:22:28.760 --> 0:22:30.160
<v Speaker 1>if I can how much I can do this, because

0:22:30.200 --> 0:22:34.040
<v Speaker 1>it's weird because I know you personally, and it's very

0:22:34.080 --> 0:22:37.359
<v Speaker 1>interesting to see the way like the media, like I

0:22:37.400 --> 0:22:40.800
<v Speaker 1>see you've done these interviews, it's very much these surface

0:22:40.920 --> 0:22:45.480
<v Speaker 1>level like how's it going, and you know, talk about this,

0:22:45.560 --> 0:22:48.639
<v Speaker 1>and very much surface level stuff. Do you ever wish

0:22:48.640 --> 0:22:52.320
<v Speaker 1>you when during those conversations people would I don't want

0:22:52.320 --> 0:22:55.560
<v Speaker 1>to say, treat you more human, but ask more questions

0:22:55.560 --> 0:22:58.720
<v Speaker 1>that weren't just about promoting a project. Yes, I mean

0:22:58.760 --> 0:23:01.120
<v Speaker 1>I totally understand to where people are coming. Of course,

0:23:01.119 --> 0:23:04.680
<v Speaker 1>it's a business right, of course, but as a human Yes,

0:23:04.880 --> 0:23:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I think when I listened to your podcast, it does

0:23:08.080 --> 0:23:11.359
<v Speaker 1>feel so human and so authentic that it makes me,

0:23:11.680 --> 0:23:16.480
<v Speaker 1>um more aware of the way I answer questions, more

0:23:16.560 --> 0:23:21.160
<v Speaker 1>aware of less media trained. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, I mean

0:23:21.160 --> 0:23:23.040
<v Speaker 1>there is a time and of place for that, of course,

0:23:23.200 --> 0:23:27.359
<v Speaker 1>but um, I think your approach to your podcast is

0:23:27.400 --> 0:23:33.359
<v Speaker 1>so real and um, true to yourself and honest and

0:23:33.640 --> 0:23:36.280
<v Speaker 1>um honestly, it's given me a new perspective on the

0:23:36.320 --> 0:23:38.880
<v Speaker 1>way you interview people, the way people respond to you

0:23:38.960 --> 0:23:40.800
<v Speaker 1>when you interview them, Like I feel like you have

0:23:40.920 --> 0:23:45.000
<v Speaker 1>this way of opening people up just naturally. It's true,

0:23:45.119 --> 0:23:48.160
<v Speaker 1>like it's also conversational. And that's why I always tell

0:23:48.160 --> 0:23:49.919
<v Speaker 1>Samy is she has such a gift for it, and

0:23:49.960 --> 0:23:52.280
<v Speaker 1>it's just you feel relaxed when you're with her, because

0:23:52.359 --> 0:23:57.240
<v Speaker 1>interviews are scary sometimes when I'm on the few times

0:23:57.280 --> 0:24:00.080
<v Speaker 1>I've been on the other side, I feel weird, just

0:24:00.280 --> 0:24:03.840
<v Speaker 1>like you don't have control over what people are saying. Totally.

0:24:03.920 --> 0:24:06.480
<v Speaker 1>I've been asked some weird questions before. That's the weirdest

0:24:06.520 --> 0:24:10.080
<v Speaker 1>question you've been asked. I think I may have told

0:24:10.119 --> 0:24:12.120
<v Speaker 1>you this once before. I was on a red carpet

0:24:12.600 --> 0:24:17.080
<v Speaker 1>and like it made sense kind of. But I was asked,

0:24:17.200 --> 0:24:22.680
<v Speaker 1>if you were to have a Dina dinosaur rock star,

0:24:23.320 --> 0:24:26.399
<v Speaker 1>what would be its name? M hmm, it was. It

0:24:26.440 --> 0:24:29.440
<v Speaker 1>was at a premiere. Was it like a dinosaur move?

0:24:29.600 --> 0:24:34.480
<v Speaker 1>It was? It was. But and I honestly I came

0:24:34.560 --> 0:24:38.159
<v Speaker 1>up with the worst spot was I think everybody my

0:24:38.280 --> 0:24:40.760
<v Speaker 1>brain just I could I couldn't think at all. I

0:24:40.840 --> 0:24:43.760
<v Speaker 1>was like, well, what would be a dinosaur rock star name?

0:24:43.840 --> 0:24:46.879
<v Speaker 1>And I think I said like t Rex Sauna or

0:24:46.920 --> 0:24:49.120
<v Speaker 1>something like to do a play on Riona. I have

0:24:49.160 --> 0:24:52.160
<v Speaker 1>no idea. I was also like or Nirvana. It could

0:24:52.160 --> 0:24:54.800
<v Speaker 1>have been Nirvana. Yeah right, I could have gone either way, right,

0:24:54.840 --> 0:24:58.960
<v Speaker 1>So true? Interesting? Yeah, isn't that a weird question? What

0:24:59.119 --> 0:25:00.959
<v Speaker 1>is it like being on a carpet? Because I used

0:25:01.000 --> 0:25:03.359
<v Speaker 1>to cover them for Radio Disney and they were so

0:25:03.520 --> 0:25:07.720
<v Speaker 1>overwhelming just being there. And I can't imagine on the

0:25:07.760 --> 0:25:10.280
<v Speaker 1>other side, because it looks very glamorous when you see

0:25:10.320 --> 0:25:13.800
<v Speaker 1>the Instagram photos, but it's kind of chaos, and I

0:25:13.880 --> 0:25:16.280
<v Speaker 1>don't think people A lot of people realize that, Oh

0:25:16.320 --> 0:25:19.800
<v Speaker 1>it's so chaotic. I think, is it not stressful? It

0:25:19.920 --> 0:25:24.080
<v Speaker 1>is stressful sometimes. I think if you're feeling great and

0:25:24.359 --> 0:25:26.280
<v Speaker 1>you feel your best, and you feel it, you look

0:25:26.320 --> 0:25:28.440
<v Speaker 1>your best, it's fun. I think if you can get

0:25:28.440 --> 0:25:30.840
<v Speaker 1>out there and just like have a good time with it,

0:25:31.040 --> 0:25:34.600
<v Speaker 1>then it's fun. But other times it gets super chaotic

0:25:34.880 --> 0:25:38.479
<v Speaker 1>and people yelling your name why and weird interview questions

0:25:38.520 --> 0:25:40.679
<v Speaker 1>like that one that makes you think I have to

0:25:40.720 --> 0:25:43.560
<v Speaker 1>think really hard. But for the most for the most part,

0:25:43.640 --> 0:25:45.720
<v Speaker 1>I really enjoy it. I think if you do too

0:25:45.720 --> 0:25:48.560
<v Speaker 1>many in a row, it gets exhausting. But I don't

0:25:48.560 --> 0:25:50.760
<v Speaker 1>want to take it for granted because it's so fun.

0:25:51.320 --> 0:25:54.040
<v Speaker 1>There's one dress she wore one specific time that I

0:25:54.080 --> 0:25:56.640
<v Speaker 1>always tell her it was, I think it's the dumb broke,

0:25:56.800 --> 0:25:59.399
<v Speaker 1>the dumbbo premiere dress. Thank you. I remember when I

0:25:59.440 --> 0:26:02.120
<v Speaker 1>saw that. I was that one I love you popped off.

0:26:03.160 --> 0:26:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, No, I do. I did love that. For

0:26:06.080 --> 0:26:07.760
<v Speaker 1>those who know, it was like a it was like

0:26:07.760 --> 0:26:10.320
<v Speaker 1>a ballgown. It was. It was a bawn ballgown that

0:26:10.359 --> 0:26:12.879
<v Speaker 1>like went to like a little below my knee, so

0:26:12.960 --> 0:26:14.800
<v Speaker 1>it went out far, but it didn't go to like

0:26:14.880 --> 0:26:17.640
<v Speaker 1>the floor. It was very poofy. It was very very poofy.

0:26:17.680 --> 0:26:23.320
<v Speaker 1>But that was the coolest premiere ever. I saw Angelina Jolie,

0:26:23.440 --> 0:26:27.080
<v Speaker 1>yes she was movie fan girled over. Oh her for

0:26:27.160 --> 0:26:31.480
<v Speaker 1>sure because she she pulled over. Um, she pulled aside

0:26:31.520 --> 0:26:34.320
<v Speaker 1>one of my cast mates from Cooping Cammy and told

0:26:34.400 --> 0:26:38.560
<v Speaker 1>him that their family watches our show. Isn't that the

0:26:38.600 --> 0:26:44.119
<v Speaker 1>craziest thing ever? I freaked out. I freaked out, and um,

0:26:44.200 --> 0:26:46.359
<v Speaker 1>that was a fan girl moment. I met Tory Kelly

0:26:47.160 --> 0:26:50.919
<v Speaker 1>on the red carpet and started crying, and I don't

0:26:51.000 --> 0:26:53.680
<v Speaker 1>do that. And I think it's just overwhelmed because she's

0:26:53.680 --> 0:26:55.880
<v Speaker 1>been such a light in my life and her music

0:26:55.920 --> 0:26:58.359
<v Speaker 1>really speaks to me that feeling all too right. It

0:26:58.560 --> 0:27:02.080
<v Speaker 1>just I was like, are these tears coming from It's

0:27:02.119 --> 0:27:04.159
<v Speaker 1>it's like you can't help it. And you know, like

0:27:04.200 --> 0:27:06.400
<v Speaker 1>when you're in the industry, like I don't get fan

0:27:06.440 --> 0:27:09.360
<v Speaker 1>grilled over often because like everyone's human, you know, right,

0:27:09.600 --> 0:27:12.639
<v Speaker 1>But like there's i'd say three people that I would

0:27:12.720 --> 0:27:17.520
<v Speaker 1>actually possibly lose my ship over Lynn Well of course

0:27:17.600 --> 0:27:24.600
<v Speaker 1>talked about multiple timesting and Oprah Oh great, Like I

0:27:24.760 --> 0:27:27.160
<v Speaker 1>know they're so, I know they're human, but they're so

0:27:28.000 --> 0:27:30.080
<v Speaker 1>those are like answers to who would you want to

0:27:30.119 --> 0:27:33.440
<v Speaker 1>have lunch with? Um? Like dead or alive? That kind

0:27:33.440 --> 0:27:36.080
<v Speaker 1>of that's good. Those are good names. It's just I

0:27:36.080 --> 0:27:37.680
<v Speaker 1>think I don't think. I don't know if I fan

0:27:37.720 --> 0:27:41.199
<v Speaker 1>girl over them, but more so over their brilliance of course,

0:27:41.520 --> 0:27:44.320
<v Speaker 1>of course, and what they've done exactly. Yeah, I get that.

0:27:44.680 --> 0:27:47.159
<v Speaker 1>Something that I really want to talk about it is

0:27:47.359 --> 0:27:50.159
<v Speaker 1>if you has the most beautiful voice, Oh my gosh,

0:27:51.240 --> 0:27:55.760
<v Speaker 1>covers on TikTok and a'll texts will be like supportive friends,

0:27:55.800 --> 0:27:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Sammy always cheering me on no, but every time my

0:27:58.560 --> 0:28:00.800
<v Speaker 1>mind is just blown. Like I know you a beautiful voice,

0:28:00.840 --> 0:28:03.840
<v Speaker 1>but it's just like you said you did eleanor Rigby,

0:28:03.920 --> 0:28:07.040
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, oh my goodness, thank you. She

0:28:07.160 --> 0:28:09.920
<v Speaker 1>popped off. Thank you so much. What are your thoughts

0:28:09.920 --> 0:28:13.000
<v Speaker 1>on TikTok, because I do you want some really interesting Yes.

0:28:13.280 --> 0:28:16.320
<v Speaker 1>So I haven't been on TikTok much and I know

0:28:16.440 --> 0:28:18.720
<v Speaker 1>that you thank you. It's I know I shouldn't be

0:28:18.760 --> 0:28:21.159
<v Speaker 1>proud of that, but I thinks something to be proud of.

0:28:21.280 --> 0:28:25.480
<v Speaker 1>My time span has gotten time attention span has increased

0:28:25.520 --> 0:28:28.440
<v Speaker 1>so much. Watching YouTube videos when I was on TikTok

0:28:28.640 --> 0:28:31.520
<v Speaker 1>felt too long. Yes, and ever since I've been off,

0:28:31.680 --> 0:28:35.200
<v Speaker 1>I can like, my attention span is so much longer.

0:28:35.480 --> 0:28:37.920
<v Speaker 1>Ever since you've been off average, I've been off TikTok. Yeah,

0:28:38.000 --> 0:28:41.000
<v Speaker 1>it's really bad. It's really bad for the attention span.

0:28:41.080 --> 0:28:43.440
<v Speaker 1>I know, I find myself like not being able to

0:28:43.480 --> 0:28:45.160
<v Speaker 1>sit through certain things. Now I'm like, oh, I need

0:28:45.160 --> 0:28:48.239
<v Speaker 1>to retrain my mind. It's really rough. I saw this.

0:28:48.480 --> 0:28:51.360
<v Speaker 1>Olivia knows I'm obsessed with the news, um, but I

0:28:51.400 --> 0:28:54.240
<v Speaker 1>saw this thing where the CEO of Instagram was asked

0:28:54.280 --> 0:28:56.720
<v Speaker 1>questions because you know, studies came out about how Instagram

0:28:56.760 --> 0:29:00.680
<v Speaker 1>can be like negative effect at teen girls mental health

0:29:00.680 --> 0:29:03.680
<v Speaker 1>and body image, and there definitely should be legislation. I

0:29:03.680 --> 0:29:07.080
<v Speaker 1>don't know if you saw the social dilemma, um, but

0:29:07.200 --> 0:29:10.400
<v Speaker 1>it's very interesting, especially like on a large scale because

0:29:10.440 --> 0:29:14.280
<v Speaker 1>you have a pretty substantial amount of followers. How have

0:29:14.360 --> 0:29:18.320
<v Speaker 1>you navigated that with also staying present, insane and not

0:29:18.480 --> 0:29:20.920
<v Speaker 1>compare yourself because it's so easy to like we said,

0:29:20.920 --> 0:29:25.160
<v Speaker 1>people just post to highlight reeo. Oh my gosh. It's

0:29:25.280 --> 0:29:28.360
<v Speaker 1>really tough. I definitely struggle through that of trying not

0:29:28.520 --> 0:29:32.160
<v Speaker 1>to compare, and I think, um, gratitude is the best

0:29:32.200 --> 0:29:36.000
<v Speaker 1>way to combat comparison. But I mean that doesn't always happen.

0:29:36.120 --> 0:29:38.440
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, it's hard. It's hard. Yeah, it's a daily

0:29:38.480 --> 0:29:41.200
<v Speaker 1>thing that you constantly have to remind yourself. You have

0:29:41.240 --> 0:29:44.720
<v Speaker 1>to consistently say, hey, you know what I'm gonna try

0:29:45.120 --> 0:29:47.320
<v Speaker 1>and um just be grateful for what I have and

0:29:47.360 --> 0:29:49.760
<v Speaker 1>try not to compare. But like I said, like that

0:29:49.840 --> 0:29:54.280
<v Speaker 1>doesn't always. Um. Sometimes, no, when it's hard, and you

0:29:54.320 --> 0:29:56.840
<v Speaker 1>have to consistently try and do that. But I think

0:29:56.880 --> 0:30:01.000
<v Speaker 1>also a great way to um not deal with those

0:30:01.040 --> 0:30:03.600
<v Speaker 1>things or to kind of lessen the pain is to

0:30:04.120 --> 0:30:06.640
<v Speaker 1>try and get off of it. I know it's hard

0:30:06.640 --> 0:30:09.280
<v Speaker 1>to believe me, I'm on it all the time more

0:30:09.320 --> 0:30:13.600
<v Speaker 1>than I should be. But um, I think that's one

0:30:13.680 --> 0:30:17.560
<v Speaker 1>guaranteed way to kind of get rid of those pressures, UM,

0:30:17.680 --> 0:30:19.760
<v Speaker 1>is to try and do other things. And I when

0:30:19.800 --> 0:30:23.880
<v Speaker 1>I found other hobbies and dove further into my work,

0:30:24.640 --> 0:30:27.320
<v Speaker 1>I feel better, you know what I mean, more assured

0:30:27.360 --> 0:30:30.720
<v Speaker 1>within yourself for sure. Yeah. And I think gratitude also

0:30:30.760 --> 0:30:34.960
<v Speaker 1>means reminding yourself of like positive affirmations about yourself, like hey,

0:30:35.000 --> 0:30:37.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm grateful that I do this, and I'm kind to

0:30:37.520 --> 0:30:40.040
<v Speaker 1>people or whatever, you know, those kind of things. Yeah,

0:30:40.040 --> 0:30:41.920
<v Speaker 1>I've been trying to work on that. I mean, I

0:30:41.960 --> 0:30:44.360
<v Speaker 1>was showing her, I know what you're about to say.

0:30:45.320 --> 0:30:48.040
<v Speaker 1>Last night. We were phase timing and I showed her

0:30:48.200 --> 0:30:49.960
<v Speaker 1>UM the final project I did for my class that

0:30:50.040 --> 0:30:52.640
<v Speaker 1>I directed. UM and Olivia gave me a very nice

0:30:52.640 --> 0:30:57.080
<v Speaker 1>compliment and I immediately rejected it. She shut me down.

0:30:58.560 --> 0:31:03.680
<v Speaker 1>And you're like, we mean to go this well, but like,

0:31:03.720 --> 0:31:06.400
<v Speaker 1>I feel like it's not just you. Everybody struggles with

0:31:06.400 --> 0:31:08.280
<v Speaker 1>trying to be proud of their own work. And you

0:31:08.320 --> 0:31:11.080
<v Speaker 1>work so hard and I can clearly see that you

0:31:11.080 --> 0:31:13.040
<v Speaker 1>should be proud, But of course when it comes to

0:31:13.400 --> 0:31:18.160
<v Speaker 1>talking about yourself, I think we're all our own worst critic. Yes, like,

0:31:18.280 --> 0:31:21.520
<v Speaker 1>I can be so mean to myself. It's so bad,

0:31:21.600 --> 0:31:24.760
<v Speaker 1>and I've been trying so hard to not um and

0:31:24.800 --> 0:31:26.760
<v Speaker 1>I feel like, I don't know, I feel like that's

0:31:26.800 --> 0:31:29.040
<v Speaker 1>not talked about because I go through these things of

0:31:29.600 --> 0:31:31.120
<v Speaker 1>I was talking to my cousin about this a few

0:31:31.120 --> 0:31:33.200
<v Speaker 1>months back, and I was saying, how like I am

0:31:33.200 --> 0:31:36.440
<v Speaker 1>my biggest obstacle, and he said something that kind of

0:31:37.120 --> 0:31:39.880
<v Speaker 1>really intrigued me. He said, well, that's kind of nice

0:31:39.920 --> 0:31:42.600
<v Speaker 1>that you know how to overcome you and if that's

0:31:42.600 --> 0:31:45.400
<v Speaker 1>your biggest obstacle, then you can do that. And I

0:31:45.440 --> 0:31:47.360
<v Speaker 1>was like, you're right, because I have the power to

0:31:47.440 --> 0:31:51.120
<v Speaker 1>change that totally takes work. It takes a lot of

0:31:51.960 --> 0:31:55.280
<v Speaker 1>daily work. Yeah yeah, but you know it's when even

0:31:55.320 --> 0:31:57.840
<v Speaker 1>if you're mean to yourself, it's letting that go and

0:31:57.960 --> 0:31:59.720
<v Speaker 1>just being easier with yourself because at the end of

0:31:59.720 --> 0:32:03.040
<v Speaker 1>the day where all we have absolutely I'm definitely my

0:32:03.080 --> 0:32:06.800
<v Speaker 1>own worst critic, and and there's almost like some kind

0:32:06.840 --> 0:32:10.840
<v Speaker 1>of relief in that sometimes where if I'm if I'm

0:32:10.840 --> 0:32:13.280
<v Speaker 1>happy with something I've done, then I know that I

0:32:13.280 --> 0:32:16.160
<v Speaker 1>should be proud of that because I think when you

0:32:16.160 --> 0:32:19.959
<v Speaker 1>put yourself um, you give yourself such such high expectations

0:32:19.960 --> 0:32:23.320
<v Speaker 1>and standards. When I finally am happy with something I've

0:32:23.400 --> 0:32:25.760
<v Speaker 1>done or worked on, I'm like, dang, that took a

0:32:25.800 --> 0:32:29.120
<v Speaker 1>lot of work to get there, right, even I'm proud

0:32:29.120 --> 0:32:32.400
<v Speaker 1>of myself, Dang, that's kind of like my barometer of

0:32:32.400 --> 0:32:34.600
<v Speaker 1>of that I worked really hard for that. Does that

0:32:34.600 --> 0:32:37.520
<v Speaker 1>make sense? Like, Okay, do you know what's really interesting?

0:32:37.560 --> 0:32:39.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm just like kind of analyzing our friendship right now.

0:32:40.000 --> 0:32:42.240
<v Speaker 1>And any time we try and like talk about the

0:32:42.280 --> 0:32:45.360
<v Speaker 1>other person, we both try and like no, no, you

0:32:45.560 --> 0:32:47.600
<v Speaker 1>like no, no, You're like I'm like telling about this,

0:32:47.640 --> 0:32:49.400
<v Speaker 1>You're like no, but let me hear about you first.

0:32:49.440 --> 0:32:52.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, like, don't want to talk about ourselves. So

0:32:52.600 --> 0:32:54.360
<v Speaker 1>we really do that quite a lot. We need to

0:32:54.360 --> 0:32:56.880
<v Speaker 1>work on that, we do. We do. I feel like

0:32:56.920 --> 0:33:00.280
<v Speaker 1>we've gotten better since the beginning of Yeah, got to

0:33:00.320 --> 0:33:02.320
<v Speaker 1>the point guys where it was like we like I

0:33:02.320 --> 0:33:05.080
<v Speaker 1>couldn't even start the conversation because let's talk about you.

0:33:05.240 --> 0:33:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Like that still happens, it does, but not nearly as much.

0:33:09.400 --> 0:33:11.360
<v Speaker 1>I feel like we're more comfortable just talking to each

0:33:11.360 --> 0:33:16.280
<v Speaker 1>other ourselves more. Yeah, and what's and because we talk often,

0:33:16.320 --> 0:33:18.959
<v Speaker 1>it's like it's not even that much to update each

0:33:19.000 --> 0:33:26.360
<v Speaker 1>other because it's not superficial stuff exactly exactly, mostly just kidding. Okay,

0:33:26.400 --> 0:33:28.200
<v Speaker 1>we have to take one more quick break, but when

0:33:28.200 --> 0:33:30.920
<v Speaker 1>we come back, I want to talk about your new song, Evergreen,

0:33:31.040 --> 0:33:33.200
<v Speaker 1>and your song from last year, The Train, one of

0:33:33.200 --> 0:33:35.600
<v Speaker 1>my favorites. I also want to talk more about you

0:33:35.720 --> 0:33:39.320
<v Speaker 1>growing up in the business, our friendship, social media, and

0:33:39.600 --> 0:33:49.720
<v Speaker 1>much more. Will be right back and we're back. I

0:33:49.800 --> 0:33:53.800
<v Speaker 1>know it's how we to accept compliments, but I don't know,

0:33:55.320 --> 0:33:57.760
<v Speaker 1>but you are truly such a hard worker and you

0:33:57.840 --> 0:34:00.880
<v Speaker 1>inspire me and for people that I don't that don't know.

0:34:01.760 --> 0:34:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Olivia released a beautiful song that she wrote herself called Evergreen,

0:34:05.080 --> 0:34:08.359
<v Speaker 1>and last year short and release a beautiful song called

0:34:08.360 --> 0:34:12.680
<v Speaker 1>The Train, which I am obsessed with. And something that

0:34:12.719 --> 0:34:14.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people don't know is not only did

0:34:14.920 --> 0:34:19.080
<v Speaker 1>you write it, but you also made and edited the

0:34:19.200 --> 0:34:24.279
<v Speaker 1>lyric video yourself. You have edited multiple things. You are

0:34:24.640 --> 0:34:26.040
<v Speaker 1>people a lot for a lot of people. It's a

0:34:26.040 --> 0:34:30.600
<v Speaker 1>big team that does things. Olivia does it herself. Um,

0:34:30.640 --> 0:34:34.359
<v Speaker 1>and it is so inspiring because sometimes we can all

0:34:34.360 --> 0:34:37.000
<v Speaker 1>get trapped in our own head thinking, well, I don't

0:34:37.000 --> 0:34:40.000
<v Speaker 1>have this, so I can't do it. But you are

0:34:40.239 --> 0:34:42.439
<v Speaker 1>also a true definition of if you want to do something,

0:34:42.520 --> 0:34:45.520
<v Speaker 1>just do it yourself. And that's really hard to do,

0:34:45.640 --> 0:34:48.960
<v Speaker 1>to start something and put yourself out there. But I

0:34:49.040 --> 0:34:50.919
<v Speaker 1>just want to say that, And I think your song

0:34:50.960 --> 0:34:53.719
<v Speaker 1>Evergreen is so beautiful and I'm so proud of you

0:34:54.160 --> 0:34:57.680
<v Speaker 1>for you did. You did the cover art, um, you

0:34:57.680 --> 0:35:00.400
<v Speaker 1>did the lyric music video, and I just want to

0:35:00.400 --> 0:35:04.359
<v Speaker 1>acknowledge that because you work so hard. Thank you. Oh

0:35:04.400 --> 0:35:08.320
<v Speaker 1>my god, you're saying thank you. No, I I really,

0:35:08.400 --> 0:35:11.399
<v Speaker 1>I really do appreciate that. Like if I want to be,

0:35:11.719 --> 0:35:14.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, one thing as an actor, aside from hopefully

0:35:14.920 --> 0:35:17.240
<v Speaker 1>being a good actor, I want to be just hard working.

0:35:17.640 --> 0:35:22.399
<v Speaker 1>So I really appreciate that. Um. Yeah, I think that's

0:35:22.760 --> 0:35:25.520
<v Speaker 1>maybe a misconception as well. Like, yes, I'm an independent

0:35:25.640 --> 0:35:28.560
<v Speaker 1>artist and I do most of it myself. I wrote

0:35:28.600 --> 0:35:31.040
<v Speaker 1>the song, Um, I had an amazing producer who did

0:35:31.120 --> 0:35:34.160
<v Speaker 1>who produced it for me Isaac, And yeah, you're right,

0:35:34.520 --> 0:35:36.480
<v Speaker 1>it was a lot of work, but it's a lot

0:35:36.480 --> 0:35:39.040
<v Speaker 1>of work that means a lot. Thank you. Sammy has

0:35:39.040 --> 0:35:42.200
<v Speaker 1>always been so supportive of my music. I sent her

0:35:42.680 --> 0:35:45.200
<v Speaker 1>my new song Evergreen before it came out because she

0:35:45.280 --> 0:35:47.359
<v Speaker 1>wanted to hear. It was like I was having a

0:35:47.360 --> 0:35:49.000
<v Speaker 1>bad day and I was telling you about and You're like,

0:35:49.000 --> 0:35:50.959
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I'm gonna send you this. You can't

0:35:50.960 --> 0:35:54.719
<v Speaker 1>show anyone. Yeah, and Sammy knows. I'm like, super, she

0:35:54.880 --> 0:35:59.400
<v Speaker 1>won't send anything, and yeah, she won't until like you're like,

0:35:59.480 --> 0:36:02.200
<v Speaker 1>we were bold perfectionists. So unless it's like to our

0:36:02.280 --> 0:36:07.000
<v Speaker 1>standards correct, Yeah, yeah. If if I'm like, I don't know,

0:36:07.120 --> 0:36:08.920
<v Speaker 1>I think a couple of things need to be changed,

0:36:08.960 --> 0:36:11.520
<v Speaker 1>then I won't show it. But Sammy was in need

0:36:11.600 --> 0:36:14.440
<v Speaker 1>of a little bit of distraction that day, so I

0:36:14.480 --> 0:36:16.160
<v Speaker 1>was like, you know what, here we go. Here you go,

0:36:17.719 --> 0:36:20.680
<v Speaker 1>take it, take it, take it. But um, that's really kind.

0:36:20.800 --> 0:36:23.400
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, Sammy. I mean, this girl right here, Can

0:36:23.440 --> 0:36:26.080
<v Speaker 1>I brag on you for a second? Okay, yes, I'm

0:36:26.080 --> 0:36:29.400
<v Speaker 1>not going to get your permission. Um, I mean you

0:36:29.480 --> 0:36:32.360
<v Speaker 1>guys listen. You guys know what an incredible podcast this is.

0:36:32.400 --> 0:36:35.279
<v Speaker 1>And I always say that Sammy is a visionary. I

0:36:35.280 --> 0:36:38.280
<v Speaker 1>think she has such a view of how she can

0:36:38.520 --> 0:36:41.840
<v Speaker 1>contribute to the world and how she can contribute to

0:36:42.160 --> 0:36:45.760
<v Speaker 1>um people our age and helping them have a voice

0:36:45.760 --> 0:36:48.920
<v Speaker 1>and helping stand up for people. I think she has

0:36:48.960 --> 0:36:54.520
<v Speaker 1>such a clear vision of how to be an authentic person. Um,

0:36:54.560 --> 0:36:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I just think she's incredible. She's an amazing friend. Anybody

0:36:58.480 --> 0:37:00.440
<v Speaker 1>that is lucky enough to be her friend knows that.

0:37:01.120 --> 0:37:04.760
<v Speaker 1>And I'm just very grateful for you. She's incredible. Meanwhile,

0:37:04.840 --> 0:37:10.279
<v Speaker 1>she's also a student and so okay, but like, you're incredible.

0:37:10.320 --> 0:37:14.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm just I just this is what facetimes are. Like

0:37:15.040 --> 0:37:17.920
<v Speaker 1>time we'll try and complim each other and just like stop,

0:37:18.040 --> 0:37:20.520
<v Speaker 1>you know I'm complimenting you now. Yeah, that's basically the

0:37:20.560 --> 0:37:24.880
<v Speaker 1>conversations we've talked about this. But just like being in

0:37:25.400 --> 0:37:30.440
<v Speaker 1>a young person in the industry especially that's so male dominated,

0:37:30.680 --> 0:37:34.640
<v Speaker 1>it's so hard to find like minded people. And I'm

0:37:34.760 --> 0:37:38.799
<v Speaker 1>so beyond grateful because our friendship formed so naturally, it

0:37:38.880 --> 0:37:42.239
<v Speaker 1>wasn't forced. Um and I feel like we've also just

0:37:42.360 --> 0:37:44.480
<v Speaker 1>been there for each other in a weird way, even

0:37:44.520 --> 0:37:47.680
<v Speaker 1>if it's just over FaceTime and we have like not

0:37:47.719 --> 0:37:51.360
<v Speaker 1>the same career, but we understand what the other person

0:37:51.480 --> 0:37:54.560
<v Speaker 1>is doing and going through, and because they are so similar,

0:37:54.840 --> 0:37:58.239
<v Speaker 1>that's been super helpful, I will say, because not a

0:37:58.239 --> 0:38:02.480
<v Speaker 1>lot of people know the process of pitching a show,

0:38:02.600 --> 0:38:05.120
<v Speaker 1>of hoping to get renewed, to do you know, to

0:38:05.239 --> 0:38:07.840
<v Speaker 1>do all of that, waiting to here on the next season,

0:38:07.880 --> 0:38:09.800
<v Speaker 1>waiting to here in the next season, for each episode.

0:38:09.800 --> 0:38:11.319
<v Speaker 1>And I think you've been a very good person for

0:38:11.360 --> 0:38:13.839
<v Speaker 1>me to talk to because you've always it's very easy

0:38:13.880 --> 0:38:16.560
<v Speaker 1>to lose sight of how hard it is, um, and

0:38:16.600 --> 0:38:19.520
<v Speaker 1>I just very much appreciate how much you've just been like,

0:38:19.600 --> 0:38:22.719
<v Speaker 1>this is an accomplishment you need to recognize. Yeah, and celebrating.

0:38:22.719 --> 0:38:24.600
<v Speaker 1>I think we always remind each other, like, hey, this

0:38:24.680 --> 0:38:26.839
<v Speaker 1>is actually an incredible thing. I think you're caught up

0:38:26.840 --> 0:38:30.040
<v Speaker 1>in the moment. You don't realize that this is awesome. Yeah, definitely,

0:38:30.920 --> 0:38:33.120
<v Speaker 1>like celebrate yourself. I think we both do good at

0:38:33.160 --> 0:38:35.719
<v Speaker 1>reminding each other of that, Like this is actually a

0:38:35.719 --> 0:38:37.400
<v Speaker 1>big deal. I know you're caught up in the moment

0:38:37.440 --> 0:38:41.279
<v Speaker 1>and it all might be stressful, but like celebrate this. Yeah, right,

0:38:41.320 --> 0:38:43.719
<v Speaker 1>and we got each other, We got each other. Just

0:38:44.080 --> 0:38:48.399
<v Speaker 1>love fest right here. I know, Olivia, I okay, First

0:38:48.400 --> 0:38:51.720
<v Speaker 1>of all, make sure you follow Olivia on social media.

0:38:51.960 --> 0:38:55.680
<v Speaker 1>Make sure you follow Sammy as well. She has great content,

0:38:55.880 --> 0:38:59.200
<v Speaker 1>gorgeous gorgeous content. That's the thing I've been trying. I

0:38:59.280 --> 0:39:01.800
<v Speaker 1>go back and forth. I'm sometimes I'm like I should post,

0:39:01.880 --> 0:39:05.120
<v Speaker 1>and othertimes I'm like, I can't. It's the struggle. It's

0:39:05.120 --> 0:39:07.600
<v Speaker 1>so an ongoing struggle, I know, because you're thinking it

0:39:07.640 --> 0:39:10.239
<v Speaker 1>as a business. Of course, at the same time we're

0:39:10.239 --> 0:39:13.640
<v Speaker 1>called teenage girls. Yeah, and it's also like interacting with

0:39:13.800 --> 0:39:17.680
<v Speaker 1>um friends and fans is so cool. So I think

0:39:17.680 --> 0:39:20.000
<v Speaker 1>when I think about it through that lens, I'm like, oh, yeah,

0:39:20.160 --> 0:39:21.920
<v Speaker 1>I do want to post. I do want to share

0:39:21.960 --> 0:39:25.200
<v Speaker 1>things because um, I don't know, I just want to

0:39:25.360 --> 0:39:27.120
<v Speaker 1>I want to use my platform. So it is that

0:39:27.160 --> 0:39:29.080
<v Speaker 1>mix of like I don't want to post on social media,

0:39:29.160 --> 0:39:32.080
<v Speaker 1>but which I totally get because social media is it

0:39:34.120 --> 0:39:36.680
<v Speaker 1>you're start because you're not on Snapchat, I'm not. No,

0:39:37.200 --> 0:39:39.360
<v Speaker 1>I think that is when you are so mentally clear.

0:39:41.000 --> 0:39:44.759
<v Speaker 1>I genuinely think. So I've only heard, you know, stories

0:39:44.800 --> 0:39:48.279
<v Speaker 1>about snap scores and all that good stuff, and when

0:39:48.280 --> 0:39:50.839
<v Speaker 1>people ask for my snapchat, Like, so, I remember I

0:39:50.880 --> 0:39:53.040
<v Speaker 1>did like when we want some girls like I don't

0:39:53.040 --> 0:39:54.680
<v Speaker 1>have a Snapchat. I was like, you thought it was

0:39:54.719 --> 0:39:56.520
<v Speaker 1>so weird. No I didn't. I was like, this is

0:39:56.560 --> 0:40:00.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of nice. I d like it cool. Yeah. Remember,

0:40:00.680 --> 0:40:03.320
<v Speaker 1>I think like borrowed your phone to use the filters

0:40:03.360 --> 0:40:06.080
<v Speaker 1>because back in the day when Snapchat filters were good, right,

0:40:06.120 --> 0:40:09.359
<v Speaker 1>didn't I remember the dog filter? Oh my gosh, yes,

0:40:10.320 --> 0:40:13.880
<v Speaker 1>I just liked the Like, I feel like Snapchat is

0:40:13.920 --> 0:40:17.000
<v Speaker 1>one of those, like the most unnecessary social media platforms,

0:40:17.440 --> 0:40:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Like it just does more harm than good. I agree.

0:40:19.600 --> 0:40:24.719
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember the flower crown filter? Remember the unicorn

0:40:24.719 --> 0:40:26.480
<v Speaker 1>and when like you open your mouth like a rainbow

0:40:26.520 --> 0:40:29.279
<v Speaker 1>tongue would come out. Yes, yes, that was this was

0:40:29.320 --> 0:40:36.080
<v Speaker 1>like when it was actually like good, Yeah, we don't

0:40:36.080 --> 0:40:39.160
<v Speaker 1>need Snapchat get often. You know, it's so true. There's

0:40:39.200 --> 0:40:44.359
<v Speaker 1>plenty of other social media platforms. Exactly. Sometimes I wish

0:40:44.400 --> 0:40:46.440
<v Speaker 1>we lived in a world where there was no social media.

0:40:46.440 --> 0:40:49.799
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh too, I feel like all the time, right,

0:40:50.120 --> 0:40:53.280
<v Speaker 1>all the time, things were based on your talent instead

0:40:53.320 --> 0:40:56.799
<v Speaker 1>of followers. Absolutely, OLIVI and I've talked about this, but

0:40:56.880 --> 0:40:59.839
<v Speaker 1>I can't imagine how frustrating it is to not get

0:41:00.160 --> 0:41:03.080
<v Speaker 1>role or should be considered because of a lack of followers.

0:41:03.120 --> 0:41:07.320
<v Speaker 1>And it's not about talent when it should be about talent. Yeah, yeah,

0:41:07.600 --> 0:41:10.560
<v Speaker 1>that's tough. It is. It is. I know you know this,

0:41:10.680 --> 0:41:13.560
<v Speaker 1>but like I understand it. I understand that this is

0:41:13.560 --> 0:41:16.960
<v Speaker 1>a side, but um, you know, I think actors were

0:41:17.000 --> 0:41:21.600
<v Speaker 1>just such fragile people. We can't deal with that. We're

0:41:21.640 --> 0:41:26.080
<v Speaker 1>so sensitive as an artist, yes, the artist, Yes I

0:41:26.120 --> 0:41:29.080
<v Speaker 1>can't do with that. No, I'm just kidding, but no,

0:41:29.200 --> 0:41:31.520
<v Speaker 1>I think that Again, that's back to the craft thing,

0:41:31.600 --> 0:41:33.880
<v Speaker 1>like you gotta love the craft enough for all that

0:41:33.920 --> 0:41:36.879
<v Speaker 1>to be worth it. Yeah, I feel that right. Um,

0:41:36.920 --> 0:41:40.320
<v Speaker 1>if you're ever wondering what our conversations are, like, Um,

0:41:40.360 --> 0:41:42.680
<v Speaker 1>this is it, this is it, this is it, this

0:41:42.760 --> 0:41:47.000
<v Speaker 1>is our friendship in a nutshell. Um, go listen to Evergreen.

0:41:47.040 --> 0:41:50.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm so proud of you. Thank you. And this year

0:41:50.440 --> 0:41:54.239
<v Speaker 1>finally on the podcast, it's it's a time on my

0:41:54.320 --> 0:41:57.200
<v Speaker 1>favorite season and now I'm a part of it. So

0:41:57.320 --> 0:41:59.520
