I have 0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:36.440 this reputation as a party girl. It's since One Tree Hill. 0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:39.440 I think so like people think that of me, and 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:41.480 I feel like it's just such a bubble burst when 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:44.440 they find out I'm kind of a homebody. Yeah, but 0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:47.760 I think it's also because I'm I'm an open book 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:51.400 like you guys, I'm now inviting you to open my 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:55.360 book because I just like, I just say how I 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:57.760 feel all the time. And so when they asked me 0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:01.400 to host certain things like events, I'm out there and 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:03.680 I tell it like it is, and I put people 0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:06.320 in their place, and that I think they think that 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:09.480 I'm just like a crazy, wild party girl. 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:12.679 Well, having spent some time with you at the last 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:15.200 convention in Paris that we did together, I will say 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:18.519 I think it's just also because you have such a 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:22.440 lightness to you and energy, and it just seems like 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:26.880 you are You're genuinely enjoying like wherever you are, and 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:29.720 so I think it's very easy to confuse that with 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:32.600 like a party girl, yeah, because usually it takes people 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:36.160 booze to just be like in an ordinary setting. But 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:38.440 that's just kind of the energy you carry with you 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:39.160 wherever you go. 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:42.519 And it sounds really corny, but I really do enjoy 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:45.120 One Tree Hill events. I mean they make me happy, 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:48.320 like the reunion with these some of my favorite people. 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:51.960 I do so it's genuine, you know, I don't like 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:54.400 fake the happiness and I'm having a good time. I 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:55.960 really am having a good time. 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:59.760 But you're consistent. You're consistent in your which is one 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:02.320 of my favorite qualities in people anyway. Is that the 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:05.280 joy that we see in you here whenever we come. 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:07.359 When I see you outside of these environments too, you're 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:08.760 the same when I talk to you on the phone 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:12.640 and be like, you're just you have a as a webside, 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:14.240 you have a lightness, there's an effor escence. 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:19.920 And I feel supportive of my castmates in general, you know. 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:22.760 I mean that makes me feel like I'm saying, oh, 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:25.280 I'm a saint or something, but I really do. Like 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:27.440 I went to the concerts last night. I love going 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:30.040 to your concert I love wherever Tyler is. I'm like, oh, 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:32.880 can I be there, you know, just like to support support, 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:35.160 because we all kind of came from the same place. 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:37.320 You guys are off doing so many other things now, 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:39.880 but it's like, why. 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:42.160 Not, you know, we kind of get to reclaim some 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:45.040 time that we didn't get to. We didn't know how 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:48.160 to do that for each and kind of making up 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:50.800 for me and maybe making up for lost time. 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:53.400 I never knew the second half of the show. I 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:56.520 never knew you guys, and I knew you and Joy. 0:03:56.720 --> 0:04:00.840 Oh my god, so many things. This is a whole 0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:03.720 other podcast, but so many things I wish we had 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:06.400 spoken about. Yeah, we were working together every day, Like 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:09.120 I don't know, it's just so maybe for me it 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:12.360 is making up for lost time. Yeah, for making up 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:14.680 for time that I wish I had spent a tiny 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:16.719 bit differently when I was doing the show. But I 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:20.039 was so focused on raising kids full time. Yeah, so 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:22.760 I would work and go home, race kids, work, go home, 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:23.360 race kids. 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:25.760 Yeah. So, An, you were all in that stage of 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:28.240 life in a different way. Yeah. I wasn't raising kids, 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:30.920 but I was obviously had my own crazy world going on, 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:32.760 and we're all, you know, we were all in that 0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:35.560 phase of life where we were keeping our work separate 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:38.480 from our personal lives, which makes sense. Everybody wants to 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:41.839 be professional. But it when I if I did it 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:45.880 again in another place that was insular, like Wilmington is, 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:49.039 I really would want to invest in the people that 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:49.680 I was working with. 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:53.080 How I feel. Yeah, yeah, well. 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.320 That's what these conventions are. I mean, that's what they 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:57.240 were for me. Was that like we got to come 0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:00.880 back as adults, and I just realized how great the 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:03.720 group is and it is like we talk all the time. 0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:06.600 It's like strong summer camp vibes, you know. Because when 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:08.000 I was doing the show, like I had my own 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:10.160 stuff going on. Everyone else had their own stuff going on, 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:12.200 so we didn't really get to know each other. And 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.239 then it was sort of like we all like left 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:17.040 war and then we came back once we like did 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:20.000 some healing and we went, oh, you're actually a cool person. 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:24.480 Yeah I like you. Yeah great. 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:27.440 And also when we were in Paris, because it was 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:30.599 like hours were long and long, there were a lot 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:34.160 of people and we love our Paris fans and it's 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:36.159 a lot of emotion, and I felt like we were 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:38.520 all in the trenches together, like in the green room 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:40.960 was like the trenches, but we were in it together. 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:43.359 We're going to get through this together. So it's like 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:44.560 a bonding experience. 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:46.880 You know, you've worked so long that you've had such 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:50.520 an illustrious career, and is it illustrious or illustrious, I'm 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:52.039 not sure what the right word is, but either way, 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:56.760 it's been fabulous. Have you found this kind of energy 0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:58.960 on a lot of other sets that you've been on, 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:01.520 Like it was a unique. 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:04.120 You know, you always have a few people, you know, it's, oh, 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:05.719 we're a family, We're going to keep in touch, and 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:09.440 it's so hard, but I do have a few from 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:12.440 other shows that you know, years years, years ago, and 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:14.760 they're still a part of my family, which is amazing. 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:17.760 And if you can get the like pick out a 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:20.400 few special people to carry with you to the rest 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:22.480 of you know, for the rest of your life, it's 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:26.320 really special. But these conventions, and I know this has 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:30.360 been said a hundred times, but this is keeping us together. 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:35.800 These conventions are keeping us together, and I don't know, 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:38.560 I just hope they never die because. 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:41.880 Because that's the tree Hill forever. If we didn't have 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:45.239 these conventions, I would be hard. I wouldn't have almost 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:47.200 any of the relationships I have with one Tree Hill 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:48.400 cast members today. 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:51.760 And yeah, podcast, you know, keeping people together. No, it's 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:55.159 it's good. It's all good. We're all such special people, 0:06:57.320 --> 0:06:59.799 special special people. 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:04.960 Just jump right into Okay, you have had a lot 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:09.760 of TV daughters. So here's my question for you. Who 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:14.000 was your favorite TV daughter? Your real life daughter Natalie, 0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:15.720 or your real life daughter. 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:19.360 Emily Robert or my real life daughter Allie Ally played 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:21.720 your daughter for an entire series. 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:22.680 Oh was that, Chuckie. 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:24.360 Yeah, I thought that. 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:25.480 Was Emily for some reason. 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:29.360 That was But I did play Emily's daughter. I played 0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:34.040 Emily's daughter in a pilot, I played her mother, and 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:37.440 then on The Goldbergs, I played Natalie's mother. 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:39.480 Oh my gosh. The Goldbergs great. 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:41.200 And now let's make it all three of your real 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:43.800 life doors. I want you to rank them, Rob. 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:45.240 You can't. I told you. 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:47.400 For it. 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:50.000 Well, first of all, I liked my character the most 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:54.720 that I played against Alie. Okay, I liked that character 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:58.000 the most because she was just a raging, crazy, you know, 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:03.080 hot mess, and it was so much fun because she 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:07.080 was a regular on the show, and so we were 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:09.880 running lines at home, we were living together, you know, 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:12.240 not at home, not in La So we were living 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:13.920 together in an apartment, just the two of us and 0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:15.840 having to run these lines where I was just the 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:18.040 worst mother in the world and we could literally not 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:20.640 look at each other without laughing. And I didn't know 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:22.160 if we would be able to make it to set, 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:24.480 Like I didn't know how we would be on set. 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:26.120 I thought we were going to be unprofessional, like we 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:29.600 couldn't get through because we couldn't make it. 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:30.400 Yeah, it was. 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:33.000 Like really hard to call her names and to be 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:36.160 so horrible to her and look in her eyes. But 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:38.600 then when we got there, it was it was great. 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:41.880 So I'd have to say that experience and my cheating 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:45.600 because I'm not choosing Ali, but the experience with Alie 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:48.679 I'll choose. It's But the Goldbergs was a comedy. That's 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:51.120 my favorite thing to do. I love doing comedy, so 0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:55.800 that was yeah. And then Emily. I just love hanging 0:08:55.800 --> 0:09:00.440 out with Emily, so that was really political answer. 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:04.120 So what I heard though was that it was nowhere 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:09.480 near clothes. It was Olivia first place, Natalie second place, 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:11.520 in an adduced in third Ama. 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:14.400 But the thing is Alie's here with me right now too, 0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:14.959 is she. 0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:17.240 So oh, we just saw her when we came in. 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:20.719 She's so fun. She's got that same energy that you do. 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:24.240 By the way, she really carries that same and Natalie 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:26.199 and I know all three girls. And when I see 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:28.440 Natalie and I run into her at like events, which 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:30.079 is the last time I saw her with some event, 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:34.480 She's like, she's so beautiful and she's so intelligent, and 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:37.400 she's but she's got it's not like the lightness, but 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:39.000 she's not like edgy. 0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:40.720 She's like she's super warm. 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:44.240 She's warm, so much warm. 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:46.200 Yes, the same thing. 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:55.160 Wow, yes, incredibly, AMI's like crazy smart, super edgy. She's got. Yes, 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:57.640 she's also got a warmth to her. I mean she's 0:09:57.679 --> 0:09:59.280 not cold, but it's it's different. 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:02.640 She's cool. When you call me extraordinarily cool, Like no 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:05.360 one has ever called me that because I'm not cool. 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:10.439 Instagram get out there, you. 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:12.520 Passed it down. I mean, I have a cool life, 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:13.600 but I'm not cool. 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:18.079 I'm cool with Joy and I are supremely cool. We 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:20.920 only hang out people. 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:23.800 You have a cool energy. I don't. It's okay, I'm 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:27.319 fine with that. But Emily has a cool energy. 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:31.080 Do you think is there anyone else in the industry. 0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:34.800 You can think of who has worked with their children 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:36.959 and the capacity. 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:36.760 That you have. 0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:43.320 It's yeah, so you've worked in a you've recreated your 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:47.720 parent child dynamic with all three of your children. I 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:49.400 can't think of anyone else who's done that. 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:53.160 And I homeschooled all of them too, And I mean 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:57.880 we're friends somehow still because they've spent a lot of 0:10:57.880 --> 0:10:58.320 time with me. 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:00.320 It sounds like someone might be extraordinarily cool. 0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:02.040 I'll take it. 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:02.600 Yeah. 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:07.280 Yeah, But Nadalie's producing now, so I'm like, oh, she's 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:09.880 a producer now, she can hire all of us. That's perfect. 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:24.360 Get this gang. Ray, the founder of Friends with Benefits, 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:27.840 the convention company that runs these amazing events that we 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:31.400 are currently at, has been working on and designed a 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:36.560 one Tree Hill Fiend Airbnb. Yeah, andwhere else but Wilmington, 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:40.320 North Carolina. And get this gang. It is available for 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:43.400 booking now on the Airbnb app. 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:45.760 This is such a cool idea. I remember us talking 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:48.040 about this a while ago and we never actually followed 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:49.640 through that. I'm so glad somebody else did. 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:50.439 Guys. 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:53.560 The FWB team, led by Ray, Brittany and Jannita, along 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:56.600 with a ton of help from volunteers, are officially turning 0:11:56.720 --> 0:12:00.240 trick back into the actual trick like the night club 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:03.240 in the show. For more updates about that and other events, 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:07.760 follow FWB on Instagram at FWB Charity Events. 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:14.920 Are you a better teacher or actor? Oh? 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:19.880 Oh, I'm a really good acting teacher. 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:20.840 Yeah? 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:22.640 Yeah, well with my. 0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:27.000 Office, with a tremendous job, with my god, these questions. 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:31.960 I mean, I've often been approached about coaching people because 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:35.760 of their success, but I don't think I could coach 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:39.880 anyone other than my daughters, because I you know, I'm 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:44.680 like tough. I'm tough, and I feel like I can 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:46.440 be tough with them, But I don't think I could 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:49.240 be tough with and I have to coach people who 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:51.679 are already good, you know what I mean. 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:55.360 I couldn't teach someone to be good, but I don't 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:57.600 know if anyone can. I mean, you either know how 0:12:57.640 --> 0:12:59.360 to act or you don't. You know, you have an 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:01.560 instinct to know how to tell a story, or isn't 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:01.920 it funny? 0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:02.800 Yeah, isn't I think? 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:03.240 Yeah? 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:05.280 I think so too. It's something you're born with, But. 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:08.160 Whether you are a professional actor and pursue it or 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:11.560 not doesn't necessarily make the qualification I think it's just 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:15.760 like people inherently either have the ability to feel comfortable 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:19.160 in whatever environment and just share their story, yeah or not. 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:21.880 And I'm not necessarily into coaching in general, but that's 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:24.400 a whole other thing. But I think because they were 0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:26.520 my kids, I could just you know, teach them the 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:29.520 basics and just to trust their instincts and you know, 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:30.199 things like that. 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:34.319 But so did I answer, I was more speaking to 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:35.240 the homeschooling. 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:40.240 Yeah, yeah, okay, I was a really good teacher. First 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:43.000 of all, I was a good student in school. I 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:48.880 was I was, you know, an a student. So school 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:51.640 was really important to me. And when my kids decided 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:54.720 they wanted to graduate early because their actors, it was 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:57.720 a big deal to me that I was taking school 0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:02.280 away from them because just the social like what I 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:05.240 what I got out of school socially was a lot 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:07.440 for me, and I carried that with me through life. 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:09.920 So it was a little bit sad to me that 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:12.640 I was taking that away. Homecoming dances and just you know, 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:15.040 friends and hanging the lockers and like they don't know 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:17.160 how to do a locker code because they've never been 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:20.960 to school, pe all those things you know, after school, 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:23.360 eating lunch in the cafeteria, like, they're not going to 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:24.240 have those things. 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:28.480 I experienced in Wintrell, all of our characters exactly. 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:32.240 So school was important to me, so I made sure 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:34.240 that they had all those little I even had a 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:37.960 homecoming dance for Ali. I threw a homecoming dance. It 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:43.440 was a prom, not homecoming a prom. But I was 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:46.040 a good teacher because it was important to me. And 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:48.840 also I became an actress, and I was a little 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:52.280 sad that I didn't pursue anything, you know, in the 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:55.880 other fields. I wanted to be an English teacher, and 0:14:56.400 --> 0:15:00.280 so in the program that I had them, and I 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:03.600 was able to choose any subjects and go as heavy 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:07.320 or light as I wanted to. And they took tests 0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:09.000 at the end and they had to show that they 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:13.640 were proficient. But it was very heavy arts because it 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:16.480 seemed as though that was the direction they were going anyway. Yeah, 0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:19.120 I wasn't trying to manipulate them into the arts, but 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:20.840 it seemed like that was the direction they were going. 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:25.560 So we would watch classics. So if you ask my daughters, 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:28.520 you know their favorite movies, they'll know the classics. They'll 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:31.240 know you know who Elizabeth Taylor is and they've seen 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:34.840 all of her movies. And then we would for science, 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:38.160 which was not my strong point, we would watch documentaries 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:42.320 and or movies about science and homeschool. I was so 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:48.600 fun able to just I don't know, Taylor, their education 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:52.720 to what they seemed to be interested in and where 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:56.280 their paths were going. So I wonder if that's one 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:59.760 of the reasons why. You know, it's so rare a 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:03.480 thing to meet kids who grew up in LA who 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:08.160 are children of entertainment professionals who are normal and down 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:12.920 to earth and cool and actually like really healthy. And 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:16.560 as you're talking about being their acting teacher and teaching 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:18.920 them how to trust their instincts, there's something especially for 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:21.520 young women about learning at a young age how to 0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:22.640 trust your instinct and. 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:26.880 Be okay with that. Yes, that is pretty pretty formative. 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:29.920 I bet that's played a huge role. I mean, I'm 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:32.000 not their mother, but I would assume from listening to 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:34.440 what you're saying that played a huge role in who 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:36.680 they are today and why they're so healthy and grounded. 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:40.560 Yeah, and not being over coached. Yeah, And I think 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:42.040 a lot of you know, when you're not in the 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:44.040 business and you're a parent who wants to get your 0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:48.720 kids into the business because they're precocious or there, they 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:51.160 seem to have talent, or they're good looking or whatever, 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:53.000 and then you us to get them coached and coached 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:55.560 and coached and coached, and they stop thinking for themselves. 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:58.160 And so for me, it was just it was really 0:16:58.200 --> 0:16:59.800 all about don't think. Don't think. 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:02.480 It creates a massive amount of insecurity as well, I 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:05.359 think because then you're constantly focused on yourself all the time. 0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:08.720 Yes, so as a young actor, as a young. 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:11.480 Actor, Yeah, so that's it sounds like you've I've always 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:13.640 been in awe of your ability as a mother. 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:16.040 That is the nicest compliment. 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:18.880 I truly have. You always felt like a safe play 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:20.920 and I we were texting the other day about this, 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:23.240 but you always felt like a safe place to me 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:25.920 on set, and I didn't I didn't know necessarily how 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:29.160 to ask for advice or how many times, but even 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:31.399 like I mean that time I had to put my 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:34.200 cat down and Barbara came over and was like there 0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:35.720 with me while I had to put my cat. The 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:38.200 cavet came over and Barbara just sat with me because 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:41.600 I was like, I need a mom, and I don't 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:43.840 want to do this alone. I'm like, twenty two, I 0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:45.600 don't want to put my hat down alone. 0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:49.040 Really twenty two. And I thought I didn't have a 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:50.920 twenty two year old then, so I thought of you as, 0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:54.280 you know, an adult, like yeah, but now I know 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:56.640 what twenty two is. Oh my god, I'm really young. 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:00.640 So young. Yeah, so you always felt it was such 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:03.680 a safe place. I'm just so lucky that we got 0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:04.359 you on the show. 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:07.639 But once again, I would love to do it again 0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:11.000 and be there more for you and more for all 0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:13.520 the girls, and to be because I think I've always 0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:15.520 been a mom, Like I'm very maternal. I knew when 0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:16.800 I was ten years old I wanted to be a 0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:20.560 mom and even done with my friends, I was maternal. 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:24.280 So I wish I would have had more time with 0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:27.639 all of you to mother you and just to be 0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:30.359 there and you id But like I said, I didn't 0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:33.280 think of you as young because you were all so 0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:36.840 you acted so mature. I don't know what you were 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:37.800 feeling inside. 0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:40.919 Yeah, but feeling like we were fourteen, like what are 0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:43.879 we doing here? Just raising ourselves? Yeah, so weird? 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:45.840 Yeah, not living at home? 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:50.959 And I know, so do you have advice for like 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:53.320 what advice do you have as a mom? Like what 0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:55.639 are some of the best pieces of advice that you've 0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:57.720 been given or that you've learned. 0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:02.520 What I've learned is the less you react when they 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:05.000 they're going to hear this and that's my secret's going 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:07.040 to be gone. But the less you react when they 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:11.320 tell you something shocking, the more they'll tell you yes. 0:19:11.800 --> 0:19:15.400 And even if you don't agree with what they've done 0:19:15.440 --> 0:19:18.359 or what they're telling you, go with it because they're 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:21.280 telling you because they either need to get it off 0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:24.879 their chest or they they need advice, or they trust you. 0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:28.600 And if you go what you did that, you know, 0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:32.320 like the less judgmental you are, the more they'll confide 0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:37.960 in you, which has been really hard Emily. My Metal 0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:41.960 just tells me everything, and sometimes you don't want to 0:19:41.960 --> 0:19:44.520 hear certain things, but you just have to go with it. 0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:47.080 Like okay, it's okay, yeah. 0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:50.239 And then you know you're not going to cut, you know, 0:19:50.600 --> 0:19:53.800 cut the communication off, because as soon as you are 0:19:53.880 --> 0:19:55.480
