00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 2: First of all, Mom, first of all, do not don't

162
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 2: make me pick up this phone. That's so interesting.

163
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: And I know I saw you say before that your

164
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: parents were more strict.

165
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, my mom with you.

166
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 2: Your mom was very strict with you.

167
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 3: My mom was very strict. She was a corrections office

168
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 3: her at Wrikers.

169
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 2: She had do it.

170
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 3: You know, you're just like whoa.

171
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 4: And she was a single mom for a very long time,

172
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 4: so she had to protect us and that was her way.

173
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 3: And I thought I would be that way.

174
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 4: But I'm actually super kind of fluid with my daughter,

175
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 4: Like I'm just chill. But she knows better. When I'm

176
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 4: like look at her and give her the look, She's like, whoast.

177
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 2: That playing around?

178
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 3: Yeah?

179
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 2: Mom?

180
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 3: Why is your voice that way? I'm like, first of all,

181
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 3: I don't guess like me. I told you ten times already.

182
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, So this so is this book kind of based

183
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: on the difference between your mother's parenting style and then

184
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: how your parenting style is with Ella.

185
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

186
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 4: I think a lot of our generation is changing who,

187
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 4: how they are, how they parent, what.

188
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 3: They how they I feel like if you.

189
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 4: Don't give voice to your child, if your child doesn't

190
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 4: acknowledge certain things, they're going to grow up to be

191
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 4: that adult. Like for me, I didn't know a lot

192
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 4: of my feelings. I didn't know, Oh my god, should

193
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 4: I apologize? Well, like, I just didn't know a lot

194
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 4: of things because it was like kids are supposed to be.

195
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 3: Seen and not heard.

196
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 2: Yes, that's a fact, you know. And so I feel like, listen,

197
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 2: don't ask questions, don't.

198
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 4: And then you become the adult who doesn't ask questions,

199
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 4: who who does all those things. So I feel like

200
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 4: there's this new segment of people who are like, yeah,

201
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 4: it's okay that I apologize because I did something wrong,

202
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 4: And you're teaching your child emotional and social health, like

203
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 4: you're teaching them emotional IQ. I feel like, you know,

204
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 4: like intelligence.

205
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 2: So yeah, So how old were you when you started acting?

206
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 4: Oh my god, I was in my twenties, my young twenties. Yeah, yeah,

207
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 4: my young twenties, just hustling, you know, in New York,

287
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 3: the haves and the have nots.

288
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: And speaking of Tyler Perry, you guys are working on

Speaker 2: Yeah.

292
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 4: So I co wrote it with my friend Kimiando Catuno,

293
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 4: who's an EP on Pea Valley and she's a writer,

294
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 4: and we co wrote this. It's like this love story

295
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,959
Speaker 4: between two sisters who have to find their way back

296
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 4: to each other after their mom passes and leaves them

297
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 4: a inn in Italy for them to split.

298
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 3: They totally don't get along.

299
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 4: One is superresponsible and one is not, but they it's

300
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 4: about reconciliation, and it's about finding love with each other

301
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 4: and for yourself and taking care of you and then

302
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 4: having the energy to be able to kind of, you know,

303
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 4: hold a stick out to somebody else and say I'm

304
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 4: ready to reconcile.

305
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 3: And so I'm super excited.

306
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 4: It's in Italy and in the US, and he read

307
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 4: it and he loved it, and he was like, let

308
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 4: me see if Amazon.

309
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 2: Wants to do it with us, and he has a

310
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 2: deal to Amazon. Yeah.

311
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: It's interesting because Tyler Perry normally writes his stuff and

312
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: all his stuff is going to number one, by the way,

313
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: every time.

314
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 4: More sign ups than any other film, any other movies

315
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 4: on Amazon History.

316
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: So it's not usual for him to pick something else

317
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: up that he didn't write.

318
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 3: Not usual at all.

319
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 4: That's why I was like, He's like, I'll direct it.

320
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 4: He's like, this is all you. I made almost like

321
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 4: all the decisions, like mostly, and he was like, no,

322
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 4: you're producing this for real. And I was happy to

323
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:52,839
Speaker 4: because I love to produce. But it was a lot

324
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 4: of work and I'm just I'm super proud of it.

325
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 4: Can't wait to see it all together. I've seen some

326
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 4: shots and they're gorgeous, and wait, so this is coming out.

327
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 3: I think in like a year.

328
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 4: Amazon hasn't given us a date yet, but they're super

329
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 4: excited about it, and I think people are going to

330
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 4: be pleasantly surprised at least I hope so, and hopefully

331
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 4: we can get the biggest sign ups ever. So yeah,

332
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 4: but I'm grateful that I have somebody who believed in me.

333
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 4: And I also realize things don't have to take that long, like.

334
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: Everyone says that when it comes to filming with Taller

335
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: Perry because he does his.

336
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 4: Shots so cool, but not even that development. He said

337
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 4: yes in like the summer, and then we were starting

338
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 4: in September.

339
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.

340
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: It was quick, but it's nice because he has the

341
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 1: studio the studio, and that actually benefits a lot because

342
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: he can get it done yep, where you're not waiting

343
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: for this project to happen or this to happen. That

344
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: must have been a great feeling for you to write

345
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:43,719
Speaker 1: this and then have.

346
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 4: Him, Oh my god, I've been trying to get it

347
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 4: done for five years. What Yeah, And other production companies

348
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 4: had it, but they just were like by the end,

349
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 4: They're like, I don't think we can get this done.

350
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 4: And I'm like, God, you can see the difference between

351
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,239
Speaker 4: what real power looks.

352
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 2: Like and like, you know what I mean, Like everybody's trying,

353
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 2: but to have control.

354
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 4: Control and power is very different. And I've seen it

355
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 4: in action, you know, And I was.

356
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 3: Like, WHOA.

357
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: Sometimes people don't understand the process of actually getting something

358
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 1: to screen because it'll be things that have happening behind

359
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: the scenes forever.

360
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 4: Y'all would not be on Twitter and threads talk about people.

361
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 3: The way y'all do if y'all understood.

362
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 4: What people go through to get anything made. And most

363
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 4: of the time the decisions that people are like who

364
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 4: said this and who it could be executives who just

365
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 4: need to put their fingers in it could be anybody,

366
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 4: but it's like do you want your thing made or not?

367
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting because I spoke to Sister Soldier

368
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: the other day and she was talking about the coldest

369
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: winter ever and.

370
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 3: I read that in Junior hig high school and how that.

371
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: Still is not a movie, but everybody wants it, you know,

372
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: as what happened. I think she's just trying to get

373
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: the right situation, you know, for that. Yeah, because she

374
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: has a new book out right now too, and so

375
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: she's been writing and she's been doing it. But just

376
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: the whole process it can be really like.

377
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 4: It's painstaking and it would make you want to quit

378
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 4: and open a coffee shop.

379
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: You know what, though you've been very consistent with your career. Yeah,

380
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: what do you feel like you owe that too? Because

381
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: it's not just you're lucky at all? You know, it's

382
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: a talent, but it's not just that either. Why do

383
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: you think that you've been just able to constantly work

384
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: because it's not an easy thing. Even the most talented actors,

385
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: even the people who are you know, respected, Sometimes people

386
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: go through tough times. But I feel like since you've

387
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: been on.

388
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 3: One, I.

389
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 4: Don't take no for an answer, and I think resilience

390
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 4: is a lot to be spoken about, like and not

391
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 4: everybody has honestly time to be resilient because they're like,

392
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 4: I got to pay my bills, So you know, I'm

393
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 4: grateful that I've had, like back to back stuff I've had.

394
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't know. Some of it is

395
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 3: a little bit of luck.

396
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 4: Some of it is a little bit of who you

397
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 4: know and the things that you take and the things

398
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 4: that you don't like when people are like it's like

399
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 4: I worked with Will Packer on stump Y R. Two

400
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 4: went straight to DVD like it wasn't like a thing,

401
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 4: it went straight, But then he hired me for ride along.

402
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 4: Right now, I'm like, what you think is small is not.

403
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 4: It's just steps to the next thing. So I've never

404
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 4: thought of anything in my career as small. I've just

405
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 4: always been like, hey, it's for the next thing. It's

406
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 4: for the next producer who's like, oh my god, come

407
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 4: and do this recurring. Oh my god, you have a pilot,

408
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 4: da da da, And so I don't know. But I

409
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 4: don't know why I keep working.

410
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 2: I don't know why.

411
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: I guess I can act a little bit, and I

412
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: made that in the most respectful way, because you are

413
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: super talented and I know people have had like you know,

414
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: we always hear acting is a tough business to be in.

415
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: And it's also not easy to make the right decisions

416
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: too sometimes because I know there's offers that come in

417
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: and sometimes it's hard to figure out, Okay, what should

418
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: I do?

419
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 2: What should I not do?

420
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 3: And you have to pay your bills.

421
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like a small percentage of people who are

422
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 4: actually able to pay their bills through acting. And I'm

423
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 4: not trying to discourage anyone from trying to do the thing,

424
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 4: but it's true.

425
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 3: It's like it's not easy. It's not easy.

426
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: And you've seen the landscape change a lot, just with

427
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: the streaming services now, because it feels like you said,

428
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 1: like things can go well, straight to DVD is a

429
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: thing too. It used to be a thing, proud, Yeah,

430
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 1: but that was a big money maker. And now it's

431
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: like streaming services because things will be in the movies

432
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: and then like a month later you're like, Okay, it's

433
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 1: already streaming.

434
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 2: Yeah.

435
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's shifting, and I think everybody's trying

436
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 4: to figure out their place in it and in the world,

437
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 4: and AI and all the things. So I think I

438
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 4: think everybody's just trying to figure out where they sit,

439
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 4: and which is another reason why I think people are

440
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 4: doing other things, like creating other brands and creating things

441
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 4: outside of just entertainment.

442
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 2: How much do you love doing your podcast.

443
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 3: My Adventure Security, Asky Groum. I love it. I love it.

444
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 2: It's really cute.

445
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: I would listen to a few other episodes because they're

446
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: like seventeens.

447
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, they're easy.

448
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 3: Easy if you have a niece, nephew, whatever, if you

449
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 3: I mean.

450
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: And they're making it interactive so kids can actually also

451
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 1: be able to participate.

452
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 4: There we go, And so I love doing it because

453
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 4: not everybody has people in their lives who interact with

454
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 4: them or they read. Like reading is like one of

455
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 4: the number one things you should be doing with your child.

456
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 4: It's going to tell you how literate they are, how

457
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 4: far they go in high school, Like there's so many,

458
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 4: so much data on it. Not everybody has that, so

459
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 4: if they have something where they can use their imagination.

460
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 4: And I remember living in Queens and I used to

461
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 4: be outside all the time. But I love TV and

462
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 4: it allowed me to explore, you know what I mean,

463
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 4: Like outside of my block, right, like something bigger than me, right,

464
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 4: and so meeting cartoons and things like that.

465
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 3: So I love doing it.

466
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 2: What was your favorite cartoons grown up? Oh I forgot

467
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 2: about that. Saturday morning cartoons.

468
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: Oh my god, run inside, wake up early, turn the

469
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: TV on.

470
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I love Rugrat.

471
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 4: I loved he Man and Shira whatever that one, like skeletor.

472
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 2: The Cattle the grade school?

473
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, esus, yes that, Yeah, you know, I love I

00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,800

506
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 3: I was like, you're a college girl. She's like, I know.

507
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: That's like the math too, because it's like all this

508
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 1: stuff that the kids learned.

509
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 3: Girl, and that was the problem that they were learned.

510
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: I was like, what did you think you were gonna

511
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: Did you always know you wanted to act or what

512
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: did you think you were going to do?

513
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 3: If not this, I don't know. I thought I would

514
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 3: always act.

515
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 4: I remember, like I told you in Queen's looking at

516
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 4: things being like but not understanding how is that even

517
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 4: a job?

518
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 3: Like I see people on TV doing it? But like

519
00:20:58,640 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 3: you know, you you grow.

520
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 4: Up with, get a nine to five, get your four

521
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 4: on one k and be happy.

522
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 1: And get ready to retire. There was no I have

523
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:07,919
Speaker 1: enough saved up acting.

524
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 4: Yeah no, but I knew it was always in my mind,

525
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 4: and so when I went to school, I was like, oh,

526
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 4: I'll become a publicist and then like work my way in.

527
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 3: That's how, that's how, that's how silly like I had

528
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 3: no idea.

529
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 2: I mean, it can happen.

530
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 4: And then I literally went to Barnes and Nobles and

531
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 4: looked up like how do you do it?

532
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 3: And then I, you know, did it. But I thought

533
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 3: I was like, maybe I'll be an anesthesiologist.

534
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 2: Okay, that's that I always needed.

535
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 4: I think it just sounded good and it sounded simple, like, Okay,

536
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 4: I put somebody to sleep and make sure I'm there.

537
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 3: You have to do like twenty years.

538
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,400
Speaker 1: To wake up exactly, not too much, not too much

539
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: on it exactly.

540
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,360
Speaker 3: I'm like, you still have to do like ten years

541
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 3: as well.

542
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: I love that you get a book to learn how

543
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: to do everything you like, how to open a coffee shop,

544
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 1: how to and now we can just google stuff like

545
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: imagine that we didn't have that accent. Remember a map

546
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 1: quest where you had to like us, when you had

547
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:03,719
Speaker 1: to actually or the garment, the navigation in the car

548
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 1: that you had to put it in the cut.

549
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 3: Oh my god.

550
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: And now look at us, girl, I don't know how

551
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: to get home from here. Girl on my own girl,

552
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: me neither. I'd be like, we're what's that? What's a shame?

553
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: Because we're all like on automation.

554
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 4: And if your phone dies, you're like, oh, the world's over.
