186
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: don't do it. Drinking is terrible. You should never do it.

187
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: And we never drank at a Snicks even once. But

188
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: she is amazing, amazing, like Christmas chere cocktails and we

189
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: would all were little shots and we'd all do shots

190
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: and dance the night away and it was so special. Yeah,

191
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: my favorite was the ice drink you just walked into.

192
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: Literally she covered the pool over as a dance floor

193
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,839
Speaker 1: and made it an ice drink and it was just extravagant.

194
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: I mean truly, there's how I clearly wish that I

195
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: had gone. Yeah, you made a mistake. Everybody was always booked,

196
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: busy and blessed. But I'm just saying these sounds amazing.

197
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: They were. The problem was a maze always would have

198
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: a Christmas party on the same night, and so I

199
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 1: felt very story. I had to plan out my night

200
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: to make sure I could do both. And the one

201
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: where the ice drink happened people were texting me like

202
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: where are you because I would do James and on

203
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: the dance plot and I'm like, oh my god, there's

204
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: an ice drink. And there I was playing trivia with

205
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: Natasha Beddingfield, who I was obsessed with, and I'm like,

206
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:14,079
Speaker 1: I'm sorry you dropped it, Natasha, thank you. I don't

207
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: want to just keep her on the floor like that.

208
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 1: For my friends know how obsessed I was with her.

209
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: And I looked at her and go, I have to go,

210
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,280

211
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: but I have to go because you can't tempt me

212
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: with a dance floor because the year prior, I ripped

213
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 1: my pants on the dance floor and there are pictures

00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: On Christmas? Any friends, No, who do you think we are?

307
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, that's that's that's the same girl. We

308
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: don't think I'm just picturing and Avengers rated X. I

309
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: mean say iron Man. Iron Man just has a whole

310
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: different meanings. This is why we can never get together

311
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 1: in public. You guys, too many secrets to bear the

312
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: risk we run. We also have to like faction off

313
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: into smaller groups because you get all of us together,

314
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 1: it spirals out very quickly. Too many secrets, too much teeth.

315
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: Hince why we collectively, If we get together, we can

316
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 1: piece together. Maybe fifty of the Snakes was party because

317
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 1: everyone only remembers fragments because it was so much fun.

318
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,479
Speaker 1: There was one year that we were dancing and I

319
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: was dancing against a hot tub and the hot tubs

320
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: spilled over onto my dress. And then I found myself

Speaker 1: where's the rest? I used it? Getting? This was just

349
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: curious mind? Probably I listened to the Glee Christmas albums.

350
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 1: That's that's that's real. You would think if you listen

351
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: to the album, you'd be better at that game. You're

352
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: just I wasn't playing. I was host because that was

353
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: the first album I ever sang on to that, the

354
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: Glee Christmas album. And I don't know anything. As we

356
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: Who else has got a guilty pleasure? Whiskey? Why do

357
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: you to be guilty about that? Get back? I gotta

358
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: say I kind of hate Christmas because I'm powowing it

359
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 1: all the way. But I love snick Smiths, That's true.

360
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 1: I like to get a little tipsy and like, um,

361
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 1: go look at Christmas lights, not drive. Don't worry. UM,

Speaker 1: when like the Christmas lights are a little blurry and

366
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:16,040

Speaker 1: to find their independence. And so Ashley here UM lived

458
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: with us UM. She arrived at Alexander House when she

459
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: was twenty one years old um in UM. I'm very

460
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: excited to say Ashley graduated her program and she has

461
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: been stably housed in Torrents with her three children UM Elias,

462
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: Remedy and Delilah and so UM she is also participating

463
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: in one of our programs, which is our Startup Sisterhood

464
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: Program l A And what that is is an enterprise

465
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: Entrepreneurship program UM where the women really during the pandemic

466
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: came to us and asked us UM to help them

467
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 1: start their own businesses as a means of being able

468
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: to provide for their children when many of them lost

469
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: their jobs as a result of the pandemic. And so

470
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: Ashley and her sister Zoe UM are working on their

471
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: own juicing line UM that we hope will soon beyond

472
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: shelves everywhere. So yes, so Ashley, maybe you could share

473
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: with everyone here what brought to to Alexandria House. Oh,

474
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: long story. So I was actually homeless for six years

475
00:31:55,120 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: and UM I was in a really dark place. Uh yeah, definitely, sorry,

476
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: I was in a really dark place. I found myself

477
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: living with my kids UM at a house that had

478
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: no gas and no electricity. Who I was running UM

479
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: from a lady who I didn't know, was bringing in

480
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: and out like drugs, meth, crack, and it was just

481
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 1: a very dark place and it was the only place

482
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: that I had at the moment, and I stayed there

483
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:30,479
Speaker 1: for three months and trying to dig myself out of

484
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: this hole. I was searching online and I ran through

485
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 1: YouTube and finally came up with the idea like maybe

486
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,479
Speaker 1: it is time to go into a shelter. But like

487
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: everyone thinks of a shelter, they think of something that's unsafe.

488
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: You don't really want to bring your kids to live

489
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 1: with strangers and in an environment you don't know, you know,

490
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: there's a lot of just a lot of things that

491
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: can happen. And so I found the Alexandria House and

492
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: I was familiar with the street name, and I called

493
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: them for a year until I got in. And when

494
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:07,239
Speaker 1: I got in, it really changed my life. I was,

495
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: you know, I would never imagine myself being here today,

496
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: dressed this way, this confident, this lively. I it was

497
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: six years was very hard, and I was on my

498
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 1: own and I was just not the person I am today.

499
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: And I'm so grateful for the alexander Your House and

500
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: all that they've done for me. And my family. And

501
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: when you reflect back on your time at a house

502
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: as we call it, ya, what was the most helpful

503
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: thing about it for you and the kids. I think

504
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: there's a lot to be grateful for when coming to

505
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: the Alexander House. I can talk all day, but I

506
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: think the most important part was the sense of community. Um.

507
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: When I was homeless, I really didn't know anything. I

508
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: was homeless fifteen and sixteen years old till one, and

509
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: I saw a lot of things that I didn't know

510
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: was real in the world. I saw a lot of

511
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: you know, people that were completely lost, you know, a

512
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: lot of theft, a lot of abuse, and when I

513
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 1: had lost the light in life, I had lost, you know,

514
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: hope in anything that was better. But when I went

515
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 1: to the Alexandria House, it's a whole sense of community.

516
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: It's a very big community that feels like a family

517
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 1: that I didn't have at the moment. And I think

518
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 1: that my kids benefit that and so much because they've

519
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,879
Speaker 1: grown up with some of the kids that lived there

520
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 1: and still come back to visit. We see each other

521
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: for the holidays. They've grown bonds with these kids and

522
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: these adults around them that show them, you know, a

523
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 1: respectful person, somebody who wants to change other people's life.

524
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:51,919
Speaker 1: The light at the end of the tunnel, and it's

525
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: just on giving. They don't stop giving. I appreciate it

526
00:34:55,200 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: so much and my kids do too. She's got beautiful children. Um,

527
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: you're part of our current cohort of startup sisterhood l A.

528
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 1: Can we share with the team with our audience today? UM,

529
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: why you joined in, how it's been helpful to you.

530
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 1: I joined because I wanted some to learn something. I

531
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 1: love learning things, especially at the lex Indrea House they

532
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: have a lot of life skill lessons. Um. But I

533
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: had sat on this idea of making a juice, creating

534
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: a juice blend of vegetables and fruits, and I have

535
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,359
Speaker 1: sat on the idea for almost five years and I

536
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 1: never really went forward with it. When they said that

537
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 1: they were doing an entrepreneurship class, I said, hey, you

538
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: know what, what do I got then to try to

539
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: learn something new and put my best foot forward in

540
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 1: something that I have no business diving into because I

541
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 1: have no experience in owning my own business or having

542
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: the confidence and you know the information that you need

543
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: the details. You know. They helped me build a business plan. Um,

544
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 1: so I just hope great things to comfort me and

545
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:10,879
Speaker 1: my sister who are joining the class to do our juice. Yeah,

546
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: can you share with our audience today, um, to affirm

547
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: with them why they should support Alexandria House. Why not?

548
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: It is amazing the things that they do. They're like

549
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: I said, I would have never imagined that there was

550
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: a community out there in the world, especially being in

551
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: such a dark place. You kind of just see the ugly,

552
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 1: You forget about what's outside and you hide yourself. Um.

553
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,399
Speaker 1: I think it's just really really great if you guys

554
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: would support us, because they do change lives and they

555
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: don't stop there. You don't just graduate the program and

556
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: they leave you like there. It's just there's numerous of

557
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: life stale classes that I've gone through, parenting classes, money

00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,399
Speaker 1: what's possible when when women have the support they need

00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 1: to be able to do the things they want for them.

568

Speaker 1: other stories of women that have gone through our program

570
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:46,280
Speaker 1: and find the same support and the resources and more importantly,

571
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: the relationships that help them find their light again. Ashley

572
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,239

574
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,320

Speaker 1: Hi good? We're so happy to be here. We're I

687
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 1: was just thinking, like, wow, we really botched that song,

688
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:59,320
Speaker 1: but they know what to expect from us, Heather, we

689
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,240
Speaker 1: you guys today. Earlier, we got to meet some fans

690
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 1: virtually on the meet and greet, and we were just

691
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 1: so moved by the people and how much they loved

692
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 1: the show, obviously, and especially how much they loved Santana

693
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: and Brittany. There is a lot a lot um. I

694
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: was wondering if you had a favorite heye, like Santana

695
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 1: Brittany story or some of your like your favorite memory

696
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 1: of the two of you working together, some of my

697
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:32,320
Speaker 1: favorite memories. I mean I don't have like a specific moment,

698
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 1: but I did really enjoy the scenes where it was

699
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:41,399
Speaker 1: just Santana and I because I mean we all knew

700
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: as actors, like being on on camera with Nia was

701
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 1: just a gift that kept on giving, Like she was

702
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 1: always there and always in the moment, and I just

703
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 1: felt so blessed that I got to act next to her,

704
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 1: and she was always my biggest champion to like in

705
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 1: a scene, she would give me anything I needed. Um.

706
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 1: I think Landslide was very very special and it always

707
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:07,320
Speaker 1: will be. It just was such an iconic moment a

708
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 1: beautiful song. Um. It was one of the first moments

709
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:12,359
Speaker 1: that we had on the show. Yeah, that's a really

710
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 1: good one. Um. I also fun fact about now I

711
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:18,400
Speaker 1: could show up and be like, what scene are we

712
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:21,840
Speaker 1: doing today? And she would have one of those crazy

713
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 1: page long monologues, you know, Jen and I would be

714
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:27,800
Speaker 1: going over our two lines we had in the episode

715
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:33,240
Speaker 1: and sweating, sweating over the I have the two seconds

716
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 1: to get the line out, and then I would be

717
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:36,959
Speaker 1: like going to the hair and makeup tailers, like Okay,

718
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 1: let me look at this, and then she wouldn't miss

719
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:41,320
Speaker 1: a word, spit. It wouldn't miss a single word. It

720
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:44,400
Speaker 1: was the wildest thing to actually witness. She would never

721
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 1: jumble her words, she had never It was just it

722
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:52,439
Speaker 1: was really like infuriating and also incredible to watch because

723
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 1: it wasn't like, oh I can just memorize it and

724
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:56,959
Speaker 1: then I'm just reading it out. She was so good,

725
00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 1: like just so so good. And I think I only

726
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 1: got to be in one scene with her by myself

727
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 1: because we couldn't just not laugh the entire time and

728
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 1: we had to actually like shoot it where we had

729
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 1: to not look at each other. And luckily she was

730
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:16,840
Speaker 1: standing and I was sitting And when I watched it,

731
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 1: she's like looking over my head because even the thought

732
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 1: of like yeah, I was like I can't we did.

733
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 1: It wasn't a funny scene, but it was just I'm like,

734
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 1: I can't look at her face and she can't look

735
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:31,840
Speaker 1: at my face because we're going to lose it. Because

736
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 1: it's one of those things where you're so in awe

737
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 1: like watching her and also like how are you doing this?

738
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 1: Like you're crazy? Like what it was a gift that

739
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 1: we got to be around every single day. Hitchcock, What

740
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:48,400
Speaker 1: was it like in the writer's room writing for characters

741
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 1: like Naya Santana like that you knew would just like

742
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 1: if we're keeping on on her. She's one of those

743
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 1: people that could do comedy obviously, but then can switch

744
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:02,319
Speaker 1: to rama at the drop of a hat. And if

745
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 1: you watch any scene she was in, there's always something

746
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 1: behind behind, There's there's something in the heart. She had,

747
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 1: like just all this pathos behind almost everything she said

748
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 1: and in the best way possible, um amazing scenes to watch.

749
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 1: I remember I was on the writers most of the

750
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 1: time we were writing. We didn't get to go to

751
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 1: set that much. But when we did go. It was

752
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 1: always such a treat and a lot of times we

753
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 1: got to go when you did your musical numbers and

754
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 1: the one when they were doing um, her big thing

755
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 1: where she was dancing and it was I think it

756
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 1: was a rumor has it and and then she had

757
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 1: to go. She had to go hit Corey, she had

758
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 1: to slap him, and she went from doing that entire

759
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:45,359
Speaker 1: dance and they didn't want to take for many of them,

760
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 1: and then she just went out there and boom and

761
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:50,279
Speaker 1: it was just whoa. And they had to do it

762
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:52,800
Speaker 1: several times and always in character and had to go

763
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 1: from that performance and then into that and it was

764
00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:00,960
Speaker 1: fascinating to watch and devast eating at the same time,

765
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:03,839
Speaker 1: always so good. It also helped like that you knew

766
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:06,840
Speaker 1: whatever she got was going to be like lifted and

767
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 1: made even better. Yeah, off the page, absolutely, Um, Hitgecock.

768
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:16,319
Speaker 1: Did you come to Snextest parties? What did you come

769
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:18,800
Speaker 1: to any Snextest parties? You don't remember, I don't, we

770
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 1: don't remember anything from that two of them. The thing

771
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 1: and I know we've talked about this in your podcast before,

772
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 1: but like picture a home in Los Angeles with real

773
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 1: snow in the front yard she brought in it does

774
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 1: not snow here, and then a disco floor that looked

775
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:40,640
Speaker 1: like an ice skating rink in the backyard. Every type

776
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 1: of food you could think of, elves that she hired. Um,

777
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:50,480
Speaker 1: she didn't hire, right, that's right, Um. And you have

778
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 1: to remember this isn't just it wasn't just for the crew,

779
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:55,360
Speaker 1: I mean for the cast. All the crew got to

780
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:58,319
Speaker 1: go to they were all invited, and there was one crew. Remember.

781
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 1: I remember in particular she got quite tip. See she

782
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 1: had the strangest Christmas hat on. I mean it looked

783
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 1: like a Christmas tree, and then she lost her Christmas

784
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 1: tree and then she found it later. It's a fascinating

785
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:15,680
Speaker 1: story and I'm glad I spent the time that story

786
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 1: very deeply. But she was very happy the whole time.

787
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 1: Whether she lost her she didn't. Yes. I will say

788
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:26,680
Speaker 1: we have a special guest in the audience. We talked

789
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:28,880
Speaker 1: about a lot we will have on the podcast at

790
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:31,840
Speaker 1: some point if he'll come on. But m Andrew Mitchell

791
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 1: is here. And Andrew Mitchell is by far the best

792
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 1: steady cam operator in America for sure, maybe the world.

793
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:46,719
Speaker 1: So every ever, all those sweeping shots you see, he

794
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:48,960
Speaker 1: did it. He danced at this. So basically what we

795
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 1: would do is we would rehearse the number and Zach

796
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 1: would record it or Andrew would record it on his iPad.

797
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:56,759
Speaker 1: And then when we got on the stage and we

798
00:51:56,840 --> 00:52:00,200
Speaker 1: were doing the number, the steadicam became another like blee

799
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:02,000
Speaker 1: member and they were dancing with us. And for those

800
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,839
Speaker 1: of you who don't know a city cam, how how

801
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:10,840
Speaker 1: how much is the way that he's wearing on himself

802
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:13,000
Speaker 1: and dancing around us like this in and out of

803
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 1: all of us, and graceful like he walking like that

804
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:21,360
Speaker 1: you skateboard? Is that what you do is like a

805
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:24,840
Speaker 1: Greek god? Like his calves are incredible. Yeah, it's just phenomenal.

806
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 1: And he just you know, he's a big part of

807
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:29,880
Speaker 1: the glee. Those sweeping shots of the hands going up

808
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 1: in the camera going off with that everyone's basically and

809
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 1: you've ruined it for the rest of us anytime we

810
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:40,800
Speaker 1: do anything else. Every time I see somebody who was

811
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:45,360
Speaker 1: sitting him like, there's like a sweat and a panic.

812
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:49,040
Speaker 1: And Andrew's was a cucumber. Should I tell the story

813
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:51,360
Speaker 1: about the lady with the Christmas hat again? You should?

814
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:57,399
Speaker 1: Maybe later we'll bring you back out later. It's so fun. Yeah,

815
00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:00,320
Speaker 1: I bet it is. Anyway, I did find so. I

816
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 1: we were trying to find some pictures of snake smiths.

817
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:07,759
Speaker 1: Luckily there's not many that exist. Um, but I did

818
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 1: find it. I'm not going to post it because I

819
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:13,759
Speaker 1: didn't ask permission, but I found a picture of I

820
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 1: think it was Diana. Remember there's like some old like

821
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 1: me folder, like Apple folder from a decade ago, and

822
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:26,280
Speaker 1: it's like Diana and two other people I hardly recognized,

823
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 1: but they were also in full costume. The same person

824
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:35,239
Speaker 1: told her it was a costome Christmas party too. I

825
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:37,400
Speaker 1: need to know who this week. Tell you later if

00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 1: it wasn't me, right, it wasn't you. Honestly, don't really remember.

827
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 1: I think I just wanted to dress up. Yeah, but

828
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 1: that's how hard everybody went. Like Dana coordinated with two
