1
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: Hey Bessies, Hello Sunshine. Today on the bright Side, we're

2
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,560
Speaker 1: popping off on the biggest pop culture moments of the

3
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: week with comedian, content creator and everyone's favorite clueless dad,

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:19,240
Speaker 1: Rachel Samples. Diane Keaton is dropping a holiday song, plus

5
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: Isray is sharing a hot take on men's conversation skills.

6
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 2: It's Friday, November twenty second. I'm Simone Boyce, I'm.

7
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: Danielle Robe and this is the bright Side from Hello Sunshine,

8
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: a daily show where we come together to share women's stories,

9
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: to laugh, learn and brighten your day. It's been such

10
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: a good week here on the bright Side, I would

11
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 1: dare to say it's been pretty bright Simon.

12
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 3: What do you think? Oh yeah, one of the brightest.

13
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 3: I had a bright spot in my week.

14
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: I went to the Sabrina Carpenter concert, and I just

15
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: really love a pop star. Sabrina Carpenter kind of spans

16
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: generations of girls, like Girlhood was out on.

17
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 3: Monday night, which was really fun.

18
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: But there were fifty year old women there dressed in

19
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 1: lingerie and nighties like Sabrina Carpenter themed, and there were

20
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: ten year olds. And I was sitting next to a

21
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 1: ten year old and I had a rare glass of

22
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: wine with ice, I know, of course, and it was

23
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: in my cup holder because you know, I sip slowly.

24
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: I'm not really drinking that much of it. And all

25
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: of a sudden I go down to grab it and

26
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: the ten year old had stuck her water bottle in

27
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: my wine. And I turned her and I started giggling,

28
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: and she goes, oh, I thought it was ice, And

29
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: I was like, you think we all have ice at

30
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: our like.

31
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 3: Your parents are rich.

32
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: You think we all have ice just sitting around at

33
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: all of our sort of like chair destinations.

34
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 3: It was so silly.

35
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: This is actually one of my favorite Danielle stories because

36
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 2: this is a real rude awakening for you with ice

37
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 2: in your wine. Like you, if you didn't have the

38
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 2: ice in your wine, she wouldn't have put it in there.

39
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 2: You're right, Oh my god, it's a sign from the

40
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 2: universe to turn back.

41
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do it with a drop of sunshine.

42
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: It's too good. I don't have to put ice in it.

43
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 3: Thank you. This is progress. This is actually a very

44
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 3: big deal for us today.

45
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: Okay, well, I guess it's time to get into the show.

46
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: We've had such a good week I love it when

47
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: we get to talk to members of the Hello Sunshine family.

48
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: This week we caught up with Cleia Scherer and Joanna

49
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: Teplin of the Home Edit. It's so fun when we

50
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: talk to them because it's the two of them and

51
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: they really pop off and the two of us and

52
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: it just feels like girl talk. But they really brought

53
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: the tough love when it comes to the number of

54
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: decorations that we are allowed to keep in the house

55
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 1: for the holidays. So if you miss that episode, you're

56
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: only allowed to hold onto decorations if they have a

57
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: specific place, if.

58
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 3: You can store them, not one decoration more.

59
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 2: They really are the queens of tough love when it

60
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: comes to organization. Every time I wrap an interview with them,

61
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,119
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, okay, got to tighten up around here. Yes,

62
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 2: kind of make Clia and Joanna proud one hundred percent.

63
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 3: That was such a great conversation.

64
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 2: I also am still thinking about our talk with Susie Moore.

65
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 2: You know, we had this whole conversation about how to

66
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 2: approach networking during the holidays because Susie really views it

67
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: as a chance to reconnect with old colleagues. With all

68
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 2: this you know, kind of downtime and slower pace that

69
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 2: we're all moving through right now. Per her recommendation, I

70
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 2: am going to be putting together my list of thirty

71
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 2: people to reach out to.

72
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: I also loved our conversation about boundaries with Nedra Tauwab.

73
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: I would never really have thought of boundaries as a

74
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: form of self care, but it really is. And I

75
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: think her advice about setting boundaries around the holidays was

76
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: especially impactful because we're constantly wanting to do everything for

77
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: everybody else, but we matter too, So I loved her

78
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: suggestion of using phrases like I want, I need, even

79
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: I expect, which that.

80
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 3: One's hard for me.

81
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm able to say I expect,

82
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: but I'm able to say I'm wanting or needing.

83
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 2: It's such a good reminder. I'm reading this book right

84
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 2: now and one of the quotes is the most radical

85
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 2: thing a woman can do is want. So I love

86
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 2: this idea of like normalizing our wants. This is actually

87
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: one of the conversations that my mom messaged me about.

88
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 2: She sent me a text the other day and was like,

89
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 2: I'm catching up on all your shows and I really

90
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 2: love the boundaries one. So I actually gave her Nedra's book,

91
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 2: so I'm happy for her that that really resonated with her.

92
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 2: And then, speaking of self care, we loved having Libby

93
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 2: Ward in studio with us. She shared amazing insights on

94
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 2: prioritizing ourselves around the holidays. You guys know, I had

95
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 2: a stressful, traumatic holiday last year if you've been following along,

96
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 2: But I am vowing to change things this year, and

97
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 2: Libby was a part of that. All right, I'm so

98
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 2: excited to pop off with our guest today. I have

99
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 2: been a huge fan of Rachel Samples ever since I

100
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 2: came across this video that she posted and it was

101
00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 2: entitled Sounds only Millennials Can Hear and and if you've

102
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 2: seen it, you know what I'm talking about. But it

103
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 2: was just so resonant for the stage of life that

104
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 2: I'm in. It was kind of like a retrospective looking

105
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 2: at all the songs from like the Bangers from the

106
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 2: twenty tens era that we were all, you know, dancing

107
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 2: to in the club. She just has this really great

108
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 2: way of creating relatable comedy that like so many people

109
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 2: can identify with.

110
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: So I'm excited to meet her today. I can't wait

111
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 1: to meet her too. She sounds hilarious. But before we

112
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: pop off, it's time to spotlight our favorite moment of

113
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: the week. Award season kicks off in a few weeks

114
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: with the Golden Globes. Every year, award season comes and

115
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: I can't believe it's here again. But earlier this week,

116
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 1: it was announced that Viola Davis would be honored with

117
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: the Cecil B. DeMille Award at this year's ceremony, which

118
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: is really special if you're unfamiliar with the awards. It

119
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: was named for the legendary filmmaker and founder of the

120
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: motion picture industry, Cecil B. Demel, and it is the

121
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: highest honor an actor can receive at the Globes. Now,

122
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: Viola is no stranger to recognition. She's an egot, ok.

123
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: She has an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony for her

124
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: roles in films like Fences, The Help, How to Get

125
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: Away with Murder and recently The Woman King.

126
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 2: Sixty nine actors have previously accepted the award and are

127
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 2: all considered some of Hollywood's greatest talents. She's joining past

128
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 2: winners like Oprah Winfrey, Denzel Washington, Barbara Streisan, Tom Hanks,

129
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 2: and Jane Fonda.

130
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: Ugh, I really love Viola Davis as not just an actor,

131
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: but as a human being.

132
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 3: I watch all of her interviews. I loved her memoir.

133
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: I'm I think we're both just sending her a huge

134
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: congratulations from the bright Side.

135
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 3: All right, Danielle, we ready to pop off.

136
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 1: Let's do it, all right, Rachel Samples, Welcome to the

137
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: bright Side.

138
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 3: Thank you so much. Hi Danielle, Hi Simone. Hey, We're

139
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 3: so happy.

140
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: Hi.

141
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 3: You so happy to have you. Rachel. I'm such a fangirl.

142
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 2: I'm so happy you're here because I've been wanting to

143
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 2: talk to you about all your hilarious videos that I.

144
00:06:58,520 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 3: Watch on Instagram.

145
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 2: You've become known for doing impressions and bits on your

146
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 2: socials that are just like so human and relatable. You

147
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 2: have a couple of scenes with I think a couple

148
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 2: of your girlfriends where you're, you know, showing the POV

149
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 2: of women getting ready and trying to get out of

150
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 2: the house, and I love it so much. I think

151
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 2: the first video that I saw of yours, though, was

152
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 2: the Sounds. Only millennials recognized what happened after that for you.

153
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 4: Oh God, so I feel like when I was a

154
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 4: newcomer to TikTok, Like many people during the pandemic, I

155
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 4: was like, what am I doing here? The youth are

156
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 4: dancing on this platform? What do I do with music?

157
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 4: And I was just sort of leaning into the nostalgia

158
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 4: of just early two thousands music and things like that.

159
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 4: And U said, as a little nugget to inspire sounds

160
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 4: only millennials can hear from, like disclosure, a little levicy

161
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 4: things like that. But it really developed into this really

162
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 4: like hyper relatable, shareable series and sort of got my

163
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 4: momentum going on TikTok to be like, oh, should I

164
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 4: like really start making stuff consistently here? What else can

165
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 4: I do here? And just like sort of like ignited

166
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 4: the play on TikTok.

167
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 2: We also have to talk about the dad at Costco

168
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 2: or Dad at home Depot or Dad at Target. Yes,

169
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 2: people love your dad characters. What was the origin of

170
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 2: this character? Was this partially inspired by your own pops?

171
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, my dad definitely inspired some of that character.

172
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 4: He's a sensitive guy, but not the overly macho side

173
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 4: that this character sort of brings to life. But yeah,

174
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 4: it sort of organically happened because I get called the dad.

175
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 3: Of my friend group.

176
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 4: I feel like it's very common for people to be

177
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 4: called the like the mom of the friend group who

178
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 4: has like tissues and like batteries and like anything else

179
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 4: you could need in her purse. But like I've always

180
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 4: identified with the data the friend group. I'll take people

181
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 4: to the airport, let's figure out how luggage gets in

182
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 4: the back of the car, that kind of stuff. So really,

183
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 4: I'm playing a little bit of myself a little but

184
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 4: my dad, And it's really fun to play with my

185
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 4: creative partner, Aliki. She's my quote unquote wife in that series,

186
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 4: and we've been friends since third grade and we really

187
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 4: can like kind of get a good vibe like comedically

188
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 4: and creatively with each other.

189
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's really fun.

190
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 4: She's definitely playing her mom and I'm playing sort of

191
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 4: like pseudo my dad, and it's fun to just see

192
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 4: that unfold.

193
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: Okay, we're gonna stop talking mothers, start talking Wicked. Because

194
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 1: Wicked opens in theaters this weekend. I feel like my feed,

195
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: my Instagram feed has been replaced with Wicked hype and

196
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: videos of fans in full costume going to see this

197
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: show with their friends.

198
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 3: Rachel, I've heard you're pretty hyped. I am hyped. I

199
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 3: really am.

200
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 4: I feel like I'm on a scale you know when

201
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 4: you ask someone are they a SWIFTYE?

202
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 2: Right?

203
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I'm like, on a swifty scale, I'm probably

204
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 4: like a like a solid five six. I don't know

205
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 4: the most recent album that well whatever. But in terms

206
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 4: of like musical theater, like I'm dialed up for Wicked,

207
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 4: I'm dialed up for Rent.

208
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 3: I know, like the big core ones.

209
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 4: I don't know Newsies, but I'm all in on like Wicked,

210
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 4: et cetera, Hamilton, that kind of crew for those who

211
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 4: are sort of like on the Wicked light scale. I

212
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 4: do know the runtime of this is like almost three hours.

213
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 4: This is our this is our our musical theater, Dune,

214
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 4: this is our musical theater.

215
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 3: Lord of the rinks, Like we are buckling in. We

216
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 3: are not going to the bathroom. Figure it out. You're

217
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 3: locked in, get your stipers, do it. You need to

218
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 3: do TYPEE.

219
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 4: Tissues like be ready. I think it's gonna be great.

220
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 4: A friend of mine, he is doing a birthday party

221
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 4: to go see Wicked. There's probably about thirty forty people.

222
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 4: We're all go like sitting together. There's no guarantee if

223
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 4: we're going to be screaming, singing out loud the entire time.

224
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 4: Sorry to the rest of the theater. It's for his birthday. Like,

225
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 4: I'll blame it on the birthday.

226
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 3: You could blame it on whatever you want.

227
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: I saw that you dressed up full green face, which costume,

228
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: so I would say, you've dialed it up two and eleven.

229
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have dialed it up.

230
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 4: I feel like I also in person, like I'll feed

231
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 4: off the energy like other people who know every single

232
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 4: word to every single song. I will be locked in

233
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 4: for defining gravity. I feel like, out a respect for Cynthia,

234
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 4: we should not be singing, you know what I mean,

235
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 4: Let her quite literally pop off. Let her pop off.

236
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 4: But I feel like for the rest of the film,

237
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 4: I definitely want to do at least two times. I

238
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 4: want to see it sort of absorb it this first time,

239
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 4: and then do sort of like a standing ovation pass

240
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 4: the second time.

241
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: Vox came out with this article that highlighted how many

242
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: times this story has been reimagined, which I actually didn't know.

243
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: So I want to run some fun facts by you,

244
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: Rachel and sort of test your wicked knowledge.

245
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 3: Let me know if you know these. Okay, but Espresso

246
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 3: here we go.

247
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, the Wicked team planted nine million tulips to

248
00:11:58,240 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: be a part of munchkin Land.

249
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 3: Whoa nine million?

250
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 2: That's nine million. I think they did something similar for Signs.

251
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 2: You remember that they plant or maybe it was Interstellar

252
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 2: Christopher Nolan planted like an entire corn field. That's always

253
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 2: so impressive to me when films go to those links.

254
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 3: Yes, okay.

255
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: Both Nick Jonas and Joe Jonas auditioned to be Fierro

256
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: before the role went to Jonathan Bailey and Amanda Seifried.

257
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: Renee Rap and Dove Cameron all auditioned for the role

258
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: of Glenda.

259
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 3: I did not know the Renee Rap of it all.

260
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 4: I feel like people were like, you already had your

261
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 4: sort of like Me and Girls musical moment. And I

262
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 4: feel like, if you've seen any of the Cynthia Arianna interviews,

263
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 4: they are committed to the craft.

264
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 2: They're committed to each other, you know, big time. I

265
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 2: just saw this funny, like this creator posted a video

266
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 2: as actually two creators where they're doing an impression of

267
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 2: Arianna and Cynthia in their press interviews, and the whole time,

268
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 2: like one of them is sitting on the other like

269
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 2: sitting on their lap. They're just like inseparable. I love

270
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 2: I love the friendship between them. They're crying, the hugging.

271
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 2: Oh my hand holding, so much emotion. Yes, yes, How.

272
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 3: Long do you think it took Cynthia to put the

273
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 3: green paint on? Every day? Oh? Five hours?

274
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: Ooh? Spoken like a true theater kid. You kind of know.

275
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,959
Speaker 1: They said it was four hours to get on, in

276
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: forty five to get off. That kind of blew my mind.

277
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 3: Wow. You have to wonder.

278
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 4: It's like, is it just hands right in a hands face,

279
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 4: maybe a little ankle like that, or is it full body?

280
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 3: Full body would be wild? That would hinge. It feels

281
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 3: un chine and necessary foot fail. I don't know. Maybe

282
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 3: it's part of the process. You never know. Maybe it's

283
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 3: a method thing. Oh, it could be method. Yeah. Are

284
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 3: you happy with the cast?

285
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,839
Speaker 1: I know it's hard when once you see something come

286
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 1: out to imagine other people as part of it. But

287
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: would you make any changes if you were directing?

288
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 3: I'm actually really psyched with this cast.

289
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 4: I feel like it would be too muddled if it

290
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 4: felt like you know, a Dina Menzel or Chris and

291
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 4: Chenna with two point zero, like, let's do something brand new, reimagined.

292
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 3: But like honor those who really sort of brought it

293
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 3: to the world, well said.

294
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: I was reading in that same article that Stephen Daldry,

295
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: who directed The Crown, was initially attached to Wicked, and

296
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: he pitched Lady Gaga and Shawn Mendes as alpha bon Fierra.

297
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: What I could kind of see it. I don't hate those,

298
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, seem like you don't like it.

299
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 3: Weird to me. It's the Shawn Mendes that I'm a

300
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 3: little confused.

301
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 4: John A, Lady Gaga could literally do anything anything, but

302
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 4: I'm like Sean, really, I also just like deeply love

303
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 4: how much Ariana Grande really just like loves and cherishes

304
00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 4: musical theater. Yeah, and Cynthia's we course, but like for

305
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 4: her to really take a step back from like the

306
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 4: pop life and commit to this for two years is

307
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 4: really impressive.

308
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true.

309
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: I think there's something to be said, Rachel about what

310
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: you just said in that, you know, if you're a comedian,

311
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: the comedians of our generation, I think we're able to

312
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: study the greats, And if you're a musical theater buff

313
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: people were able to study the greats, and I think

314
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: there's this idea, and I'm not sure that it's true,

315
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: but the idea is that gen Z hasn't really studied

316
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: film history or comedy history or like the greats of

317
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: each sort of category. And I think seeing young people

318
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: like Ariana Grande embrace musical theater and sort of the

319
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: technicality and like the purity of its history feels really exciting.

320
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: It's like, Okay, it's going to live on m Yeah.

321
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 2: That also feels like someone from the community is doing

322
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 2: this for the community, you know, and there's like something

323
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 2: that's really rewarding and satisfying about that, because musical theater

324
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 2: is a community. Like you are vieweded theater as a kid,

325
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 2: you know, you are initiated into.

326
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 3: That club for life. Yeah, it's gonna beautiful. It really

327
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 3: is beautiful.

328
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 2: We're gonna take a quick break from popping off, but

329
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 2: we'll be right back and we're back to popping off

330
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 2: with Rachel Samples. I am equally obsessed with the person

331
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 2: that this next story is about. So Diane Keaton announced

332
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 2: that she's actually releasing a holiday song. All we know though,

333
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 2: is that it's called First Christmas, and her announcement you

334
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 2: guys on Instagram is peak Diane. She's in her signature

335
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 2: black turtleneck, the baggy pants. It's giving artsy, it's giving

336
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 2: avant garde, it's giving chic. I'm a huge if you

337
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 2: can already tell. I mean, she's our movie mom, right,

338
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 2: like she kind of practically raised us. But I'm really

339
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 2: curious about this. It's kind of giving jazzy Christmas. Yeah.

340
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 2: What do you guys think about Diane Keaton stepping into

341
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 2: the music space.

342
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 4: We are Nancy Meyer's household over here, like, and my

343
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 4: girlfriend Allie is spiritually Diane Keaton. Like we've kicked it

344
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 4: around as like potentially a theme for our birthday party.

345
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 4: So everyone comes obviously like a neutral turtleneck is constantly

346
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 4: spilling things, and it's like, like, that's so Diane Keaton energy.

347
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 3: So we are psyched. We are so psyched.

348
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 4: I feel like she has given us nuggets of singing

349
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 4: in a few of her movies.

350
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 3: So I think it's gonna be beautiful. I think it's what

351
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 3: the world needs. It really is. You're right, I think

352
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 3: we really need this now more than ever, So thank

353
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 3: you DK.

354
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 4: I also think, just like recently the Martha Stewart dot

355
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 4: come out on Netflex, now DeKay doing her thing. I'm like,

356
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 4: these are the great Danielle to your point earlier, like

357
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 4: let them play.

358
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 3: Let them do the thing.

359
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I like the notion that we're all embracing

360
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 1: women that are a little bit more mature doing new

361
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 1: things and we're excited about it. I sort of am

362
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: imagining the cover art of this with like Diane sitting

363
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: in a perfectly mismatched chair with a Santa hat like

364
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: tilted slightly off. Everything's like works, but it's a little

365
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 1: weird and kooky and mismatch and plaid, but still matches perfectly. Yeah,

366
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: I'm excited about this. I think, you know, anything she

367
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 1: does I love. I don't think I've ever disliked anything

368
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: Diane Kayton did.

369
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 2: No, here's the funny thing, Danielle, So she actually posted

370
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,479
Speaker 2: the cover art. There's no Santa hat in site, there

371
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 2: are no jingle bells in sight, no Holly. It's very

372
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 2: simple and streamlined, and it just has like red white

373
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 2: and then everything else is black and white. It's so

374
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 2: I just love that it's so her, Like this is

375
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 2: very much Diane, you know, like she her whole house

376
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 2: is black and white, and it's just it feels very

377
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 2: authentic to her, So I love that for her.

378
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 3: Oh I can't wait drop the whole album DK.

379
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: Seriously, Rachel, are you are you extremely online with your job?

380
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 4: I I'd say week by week that changes. Sometimes I'm

381
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 4: fully in it deep deep deep, and then sometimes I'm like,

382
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 4: you know, you need to cool it. But I like,

383
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 4: I'm actively trying to like learn that those Gracie Abrams

384
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 4: lyrics to like do that dance trend thing.

385
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 3: You know what I mean. Like I'm like, oh, I'm like, oh,

386
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 3: I'm in a rot week. I'm in a Internet rot week.

387
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 1: What's your relationship like to the algorithm because a lot

388
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 1: of people whose careers are centered around social have this

389
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 1: like love hate relationship with the Instagram algorithm.

390
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 3: M hm.

391
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 4: I actually don't think about it too much in terms

392
00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 4: of like how visible my stuff is. Yes, Like I

393
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 4: think what I've just seen over the years with TikTok

394
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 4: is TikTok wants you to.

395
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 3: Just feed it the exact same thing.

396
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,239
Speaker 4: So if you did a video that's a minute and

397
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 4: you're playing a character or whatever, they're like, great, do

398
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 4: that again thirty more times, and we'll keep rewarding you

399
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 4: for that.

400
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 3: Interesting for trying to be like creative and trying new things.

401
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 4: You're like, well, I know I'm going to not do

402
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 4: that thirty times in a row, so we'll ride this

403
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 4: out see what else happens. I feel like there's no

404
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,959
Speaker 4: rhyme or reason, but I feel like in terms of

405
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 4: what I watch like there definitely is sort of like

406
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 4: you're curating and grooming your for you page or your

407
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 4: algorithm to feed you the funny stuff you want to see,

408
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 4: the beautiful stuff you want to see, and then, of

409
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 4: course if you stop on that one, like sad puppy video,

410
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,479
Speaker 4: buckle up because you just signed up to have that

411
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 4: fill your feed for the rest of the week.

412
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 1: So it's interesting you say that because Instagram announced earlier

413
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 1: this week that it's going to give users a new

414
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: way to customize their feeds, so you may no longer

415
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: have to see the sad puppy videos if that's not

416
00:20:58,600 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: what you're wanting.

417
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 3: Here's what it's doing.

418
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 1: Okay, And I'm not techie, so as I share these,

419
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:05,919
Speaker 1: maybe explain them to me.

420
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 4: Safe space, Safe space, let's all try to work together.

421
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 3: Okay.

422
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: The app is rolling out of feature that allows users

423
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: to reset their recommendations, so this means that we can

424
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 1: clear out recommended posts that's kind of cool, like stuff

425
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: we don't want to see.

426
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 3: We can clear that out.

427
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,959
Speaker 1: We can unfollow accounts we are no longer interested in.

428
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:25,679
Speaker 1: I feel like we've always been able to do that,

429
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: but okay.

430
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 3: Yep, it's called free will.

431
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: And also you can flag content that you don't want

432
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: to see. Also seems like you could do that before.

433
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 1: So the main one is really that you can like

434
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: kind of reset your algorithm and recalibrate what is recommended

435
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 1: to you and fine tune what you actually want to see.

436
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: The idea really is that this will be specifically good

437
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: for teens, so they can have a safer, more positive,

438
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: age appropriate experiences. I don't know how I feel about this,

439
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: because I think it could be a fresh start that

440
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 1: a lot of us have been craving online. And on

441
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: the other hand, I think this potentially just doubles down

442
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: on the echo chambers that we're all already in.

443
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 4: I did see this, and I like how you put that,

444
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 4: because I do. I do agree with you. I didn't realize,

445
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 4: like you flip the coin, it's like.

446
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 3: Oh, that echo chamber just got a lot deeper. Yeah, interesting,

447
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 3: you know.

448
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: I actually, sometimes hear people say stuff that really upsets me,

449
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: like it just is so different than my point of view,

450
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: and I like will go to their profile to unfollow

451
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 1: them because I'm like, I don't want to see this.

452
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: And then I stop myself because I'm like, you make

453
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: yourself see it, Danielle, make yourself listen to it.

454
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 3: I don't know if you have to do that to yourself, Danielle.

455
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 2: If someone is if someone is like really grading on

456
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 2: you because of their views, like, think about how that's

457
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 2: impacting your mental health. You can still bring in different

458
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 2: viewpoints by you know, reading, looking at different articles.

459
00:22:58,400 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 3: Spare yourself.

460
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what I wish this this Instagram update had.

461
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 4: I wish it was able to go through everyone you

462
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 4: follow and if they have gotten married and changed their

463
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 4: last name and you can no longer place how you

464
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 4: know that person you no longer follow them.

465
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:23,479
Speaker 2: You know, It's funny all the time, I'm like, oh, freshman,

466
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 2: you're blah blah blah, no, you have no.

467
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 3: Stop rewards marriage and Rachel samples. This happens to me

468
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 3: all the time. Though.

469
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 2: Someone will pop up in my feet and I'm like,

470
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 2: who is who is this person?

471
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 3: It's always the baby. It's the baby, and I'm like,

472
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 3: they like it's them.

473
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 4: Having a baby or an announcement, so it's not even

474
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 4: them in the photo. And I just see a child

475
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 4: on like a quilt that says three months and I'm like.

476
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 3: Whoa lose baby? Who baby? Who is this?

477
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 2: It's true, it's always life's transitions that remind you that

478
00:23:58,160 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 2: you really don't know who this person is.

479
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 4: Deeply think Instagram prioritizes baby on quilt photos. Oh yeah,

480
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 4: I think so an engagement, those are always the two.

481
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 1: It's time for another short break, but we'll be right

482
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: back with Rachel Samples. And we're back with Rachel Samples.

483
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 2: I want a shift to talk about something that Isa

484
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 2: Ray said this week. She's giving us a pretty hot take.

485
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 2: Curious to hear what you guys think on this. So

486
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 2: she was a guest on the Naked Beauty podcast with

487
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 2: Brooke de Vard and during the interviews, she mentioned that

488
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 2: she thinks men in general are bad at conversations. She said,

489
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 2: many men don't understand the basic skills that are required

490
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 2: for having an elevated conversation, like asking follow ups, actively listening,

491
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 2: and you know, just kind of being intuitive and prodding

492
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 2: someone when it's clear that they have feelings about something.

493
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 2: I've got my thoughts on this, I'm going to reserve

494
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 2: them till the end. I want to give you all

495
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,959
Speaker 2: the floor, starting with you, Rachel, what's your reaction to this?

496
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 1: Oh?

497
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 3: Take god.

498
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 4: I mean I think of every instance where a woman

499
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 4: has had to find out about someone's ex girlfriend and

500
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 4: like the minimum amount of detail, like hey, I think

501
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 4: she lives in San Diego and she has brown hair,

502
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 4: boom she's found on Instagram. Immediately, women get it, we're digging,

503
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 4: we're getting into the emotion of it, the why we

504
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 4: always are going to prod and get to know more.

505
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 4: And I don't see that very often from guys, even

506
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 4: guy friends. I feel like there's just like an understood

507
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 4: sort of like baseline of how deep we're gonna go,

508
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 4: and there isn't a ton.

509
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 3: Of follow up. Interesting.

510
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 4: I also feel like I'm not a big digger personally,

511
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 4: so I can kind of just like keep it surface level.

512
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 4: But I'm always fascinated by dynamics or a couple relationships

513
00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 4: that support guys not communicating well, like, for instance, going

514
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 4: out to drinks with friends and the guy is allowed

515
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 4: to watch football.

516
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 3: On his phone or the majority of the drinks to

517
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 3: like a toddler that's like my toddler.

518
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 4: That's an iPad kid. That's an iteration of the iPad kid.

519
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 4: And I'm like, how how's that? Okay, that's crazy. I

520
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 4: have to say, I've never seen that out in the wild.

521
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it's it's rampant.

522
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: It's like really really yes, like it's that would be

523
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: a real deal breaker.

524
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 3: It just seems so dismissive, so dismissive.

525
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 4: I think it's rude. It's a version of just like

526
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 4: texting or whatever. But I think there's there's examples like

527
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:47,679
Speaker 4: that that just like support not having to communicate or

528
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 4: you know, have a conversation and things like that.

529
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 3: It's crazy.

530
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: So this is definitely a broad stroke that I'm painting.

531
00:26:55,320 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: But every man that I have dated is less interested

532
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: in the details of conversation than I am. So like,

533
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 1: for instance, and this is what Lisa is talking about,

534
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 1: I think, like I'll give an example, like a guy

535
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: I dated will come home and be like, oh, you know,

536
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,719
Speaker 1: I forgot to tell you Jake and his wife are

537
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: getting divorced, and it's and then I'm like, oh my god,

538
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 1: that's that's so sad.

539
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 3: Why? Oh, I don't know. What do you mean? You

540
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 3: saw Jake, you were there for three hours? You didn't

541
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 3: ask why he was getting divorced? What happened?

542
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 2: And that?

543
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: Oh? I didn't think to ask, well is he doing okay?

544
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 1: Should like how about his wife? Should we text them? Like?

545
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 3: What's the dynamic? What are they going to do with

546
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 3: their kids? I don't know.

547
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: I didn't ask how do you not ask all of

548
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 1: the questions? And I don't know if that's me being

549
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: nosy because you know, Glennon Doyle, I heard her on

550
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: a podcast say something that I really try to practice

551
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: that in grief, there's no room for curiosity, and I

552
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: really do believe that, because you should just show up

553
00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 1: and be and be there and support people. Like, the

554
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: idea of being curious about someone's pain is so icky,

555
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 1: So I don't mean it in that way. Yeah, but

556
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: the idea of not asking follow ups of just like

557
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: a simple what happened or why? Like you know, Simon

558
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: and I went to journalism school. There's the who, what, where? When?

559
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 3: Why? That's just it seems very obvious to me.

560
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 2: Yet five right there, Budd, Yeah, maybe five questions even.

561
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 4: Outside of like emotional related follow ups, even just being like, so,

562
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 4: who's keeping the dog? Like you could even just go

563
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 4: from a like gistical standpoint of like who's moving out?

564
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 3: What are they feel like? Nothing? Yeah, I don't know.

565
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 3: I I just don't understand.

566
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 2: So I do feel like, obviously, I think there's truth

567
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 2: in any generalization. I do think it's a bit of

568
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 2: a broad generalization. And I talked to my husband about

569
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 2: it last night. I was just like, hey, do you

570
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 2: have deep conversations with your friends? And he was like, yeah,

571
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 2: I have deep conversations with my friends all the time,

572
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 2: Like most he was saying, like, you know, I'll have

573
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 2: a friend over and he'll turn on a movie. We'll

574
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 2: turn on a movie and sometimes we'll just get into

575
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 2: a conversation. We'll pause the movie for an hour and

576
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 2: we'll have this deep talk. Now, do I think that

577
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 2: my husband is like the norm? No, I think he's

578
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 2: probably the exception.

579
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 3: Will he with you? No, my straight husband's not going

580
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 3: to keeck you with me. I need someone who's gonna

581
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 3: key key with me. Do you what do you mean

582
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 3: by that gossip? Like like get into.

583
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: Those Yeah, yeah, cause I'm not gonna gossip in the

584
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: outer world. That's like not for me to do inside

585
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: my house. I need a man that's going to key

586
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: key with me.

587
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 2: I mean a little bit, but I don't know. I'm

588
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 2: trying to like not do it as much. What I

589
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 2: know is like not as fun. But I think, yes,

590
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 2: if if there was something that we needed to Kiki about. Absolutely,

591
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 2: and there's always like husband and wife confidence or like

592
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 2: you know, there's there's that sort of like nda within

593
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 2: the confines of your relationship. But anyways, I think a

594
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 2: man who can have deep conversations and.

595
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 3: Follow up and YadA YadA.

596
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 2: I think that's a I think that is an exception,

597
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 2: but we do actually happen to have a man on

598
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 2: the line that we could bring into this conversation. Everybody,

599
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 2: please welcome our showrunner, Tim Palazzola, Tim our man.

600
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 3: Are men deep or no? What are your thoughts? Hello?

601
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 5: Hello, listen, Simone, I think you really nail that when

602
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 5: you said this is a generalization, but I think Isa

603
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 5: and some people out there just need better friends, because

604
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 5: I will say a lot of my guy friends are

605
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 5: real nosy, and they are all up in my business.

606
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 5: They are all up in each other's business. And some

607
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 5: of the best conversations I have are actually with some

608
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 5: of my male friends who are straight. My brother's a

609
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 5: straight guy. He and I talk all the time. We

610
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 5: have really intimate conversations, very emotional. I have a straight buddy,

611
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 5: his name is Matt. He and I talk all the time.

612
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 3: Because he's straight. So my buddy Matt, my homide, my

613
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 3: buddy Matt. Yeah, my buddy Matt.

614
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 5: And I will I will, I will take my voice

615
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 5: down and be like, Yo, what's up, dude, how to go?

616
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 5: But but I what I what I will say is

617
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 5: I think a lot of this has to do with

618
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 5: I don't think men are conditioned to have these types

619
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 5: of conversations, like generally, I think I'm probably a little

620
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 5: bit of a safe space for guys to have conversations

621
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 5: with because I probably engage in a different capacity. But

622
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,040

623
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 5: feelings with each other, and that probably bleeds into a

624
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 5: lot of the relationships they have with with each other

625
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 5: and with women in particular.

626
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:50,680

00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:05,840

Speaker 3: So good, Rachel.

632
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 2: You actually you actually have a hack for improving your

633
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 2: relationships with your male friends, right, and it involves like

634
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 2: a certain name that you give them.

635
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 3: So I do. Yeah, I've found really a ton of success.

636
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 4: And this is for male coworkers, friends, even like new acquaintances.

637
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 4: But calling guys big dog is a way to get

638
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 4: instant respect.

639
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 3: They'll do whatever whatever you need them to do.

640
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 4: They want to be seen and felt as if they

641
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 4: are the big dog of the pack. It is a

642
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 4: little ego fan, but truly the control and the power

643
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 4: is in whoever calls them big dog.

644
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna call my husband big dog today and then

645
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 2: I'm gonna see big dog how it plays.

646
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 4: It's wild and like there was that video like really

647
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 4: took off and a radio host, I think it was

648
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 4: somewhere in the Midwest. She had a male co host,

649
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 4: and she filmed like her saying big dog to him,

650
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 4: and you could actually see like a grin come on

651
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 4: his like like he got a little like little stood

652
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 4: a little taller and he was like, okay, yeah, I'll
