Speaker 2: This is thank you for talking to me.

11
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 1: I've been a fan, of course, and you and I

12
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: both played these well known high school characters.

13
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 2: And you in nice school.

14
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: By the way, you filmed which one?

15
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 2: Buffy?

16
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: Buffy?

17
00:00:58,200 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: Which filmed it? Tolarrance?

18
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: Hi, Oh, that poor high school. They must have gotten

19
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: so sick of all us actors.

20
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 2: I loved it, you do. But I think we like

21
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 2: we would walk around and we'd be like Dylan, Dylan,

22
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 2: where are you? Yeah?

23
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: Do you find that your fans are similar to mine

24
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: and they are often shocked that you're actually an adult

25
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: and you're in the fifty club now.

26
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 2: I mean, they're pretty polite but uh, what I find

27
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 2: sort of disconcerting is the like when it's somebody that

28
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, maybe we're the same age, and they're like,

29
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 2: I was a little kid and I watched you, I

30
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 2: grew up on you, And I'm like.

31
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: Oh, all right, yeah, yeah, have you gotten that, Oh

32
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: my mom loves you.

33
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 2: The other day I got my grandmother loves you, and

34
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, you can stop right there, thank you.

35
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: That's interesting. My grandmother grew up with you that I'm

36
00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 2: going to walk away, Well, don't gonna happen soon.

37
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: I feel like you, yeah, will be forever frozen in

38
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: my mind as a teenager. And it's even it's weird

39
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: to me to say that because the same thing happens

40
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: to me, But I'm saying it to you because so true.

41
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 2: It's so true. But I'm just so grateful to have

42
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 2: been part of like several things that people still remember.

43
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 2: You know, it's hard to believe, but it's awesome.

44
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: I love it. Have you ever been like out and

45
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: about in the real world or even at home and

46
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: caught yourself on a rerun or maybe even like at

47
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: the doctor's office, that'd be even better.

48
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, So you're just flipping the channels and I'm like, oh,

49
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 2: my goodness, flashback.

50
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: I love it.

51
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 2: And then I'm like, do I even remember?

52
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 1: This? So true? It's so true. I also think that

53
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: many of the fans themselves, well, they see themselves in

54
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: the characters that you've portrayed. Has there ever, I'm curious,

55
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: has there ever been a character or a role that

56
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,399
Speaker 1: helped you you better understand yourself?

57
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 2: Oh, that's a good question. I mean I think I've

58
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 2: played characters that I would aspire to be more like.

59
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: I mean, who wouldn't want to be more like Willow?

60
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 2: You know? But she's way smarter than I am, And boy,

61
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: could I use her computer skills, especially nowadays, right? That

62
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 2: would have been great? But you know, I feel like

63
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 2: I put a piece of me into every character, and

64
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 2: then maybe a piece of the character comes into me too.

65
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 2: I'd like to hope the good parts. But yeah, it's

66
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: obviously it's that there's some of me in there, not

67
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 2: that good of an actress.

68
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, like the lines blur, Yeah, I love I kind

69
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: of love that because that means you're playing a really

70
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: genuine portrayal of something, and like it it feels authentic

71
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: because you are like putting yourself in that characters shoes.

72
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yeah, definitely, especially with like emotional scenes, and yeah,

73
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 2: you know, I could always tell if if I would

74
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 2: resonate with something, because like if I didn't have to

75
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 2: sort of dive deep into emotional trauma to get the emotions,

76
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,559
Speaker 2: then I knew that I was in the right space

77
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 2: of a character.

78
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 1: I'm loving this chapter of my life, this next chapter,

79
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: I don't know, middle chapter. I don't know, what's your

80
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: favorite thing about being in your fifties because you're a

81
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: newly band club.

82
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 2: I know, I know, I really I love the like

83
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 2: just caring less about what everybody thinks. And you know,

84
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 2: my new motto is like what other people think of

85
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 2: me is none of my business. And you know, I

86
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 2: just it's like it's lovely if you you like me

87
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 2: and stuff, but if you don't, okay, I'm not gonna

88
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 2: hopefully it's not going to destroy me the way it

89
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 2: would have in my twin, you know, Like I just

90
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 2: so it's not like I mean, I'm still sensitive, but

91
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 2: I just I have my people that I love and

92
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 2: I care about, and like their opinions are the ones

93
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 2: that matter. My family and my friends. Like I'm good,

94
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 2: and I'm really happy and like you know, yes, they're things.

95
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 2: Sure I would have been done differently, but in a

96
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: way at least I learned from them and grow And

97
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 2: I just always want to grow and and just be

98
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 2: grateful for my journey.

99
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: You have a very good perspective. That's perfect. You said

100
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: you were a little more affected by other people's opinions

101
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: in your twenties, and I know, having gone through that

102
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 1: phase being in this industry, seeing all the things that

103
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: we saw in our early years and hearing all the

104
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: things we heard, how did you get through it all?

105
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: Like I I don't know how I got through it all.

106
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: I'm just happy I did.

107
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 2: Yes, well, I think for you, I mean you blew

108
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 2: like you guys were everything everywhere. I feel like for me,

109
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 2: it was always like this slow burn. I was like

110
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 2: the little engine that could. But it wasn't like Buffy

111
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 2: wasn't an immediate hit out of the out of the gate.

112
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,679
Speaker 2: And we certainly like we were on this strange network

113
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 2: where we were the only sort of critically acclaimed show

114
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 2: and like it, and you know when people just didn't understand,

115
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 2: like what do you mean Buffy the Vampire's Layer, It's

116
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 2: like no, it's much better than this, Like it sounds

117
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 2: it's really just check it out. Well, are you a

118
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 2: comedy or a drama? Like yeah, both. But I also

119
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 2: just think because it was before social media, like you

120
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 2: didn't know people were watching it. We filmed the entire

121
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,919
Speaker 2: first season without it being aired, so it really was

122
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 2: a little bubble. And then and even with How I

123
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 2: Met Your Mother, it was similar because that, you know,

124
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 2: we we were always like on The Bubble Show for

125
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 2: like the first three seasons, like every year, we didn't

126
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 2: know if we were going to get picked up, and

127
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 2: there were much shinier shows that were getting all the attention.

128
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 2: And then we were just kind of like this slow build.

129
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 2: I think, you know, we got onto some airplanes, like

130
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 2: before you had all the choices on the airplane, and

131
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 2: we were on Netflix and that helped, and we just

132
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 2: kept slowly going and then like by the end of

133
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 2: the series, we're like, oh, people really watch us. I

134
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 2: remember we got picked up for like two seasons one year,

135
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 2: and we're like we've made it. We're not a bubble

136
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 2: show anymore. But so so with you though, you were

137
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 2: just like you guys were like on Rolling Stone and

138
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 2: stuff like that, like it was just massive out of

139
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 2: the gate, and I feel like we were under the radar,

140
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 2: so it might not have been as hard for me

141
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 2: it was maybe for you, But I'm projecting, but yeah,

142
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 2: I don't know. I just I feel like I also

143
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 2: grew up as sort of like a struggling kid actor,

144
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 2: so I knew how like fleeting everything was so so

145
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 2: that never left my perspective. So I was always grateful

146
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 2: to be working and and you worked hard, yes, yes,

147
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 2: And I was very lucky in the projects that I

148
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 2: got to work on too. So I don't know. I

149
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 2: feel like gratitude has always been my friend.

150
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the best thing to go back to

151
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: every time you're struggling. I feel like, yeah, I.

152
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 2: Always tell my daughter's gratitude not attitude of hearing that.

153
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 2: I'm sure it'll sink it.

154
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: You have teenage daughters.

155
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 2: I do. I have a sixteen year old and an

156
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 2: almost thirteen year old.

157
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: What did they think? Have they seen one time at

158
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 1: band camp?

159
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 2: No? And I hope they never do. But if they,

160
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 2: they better not tell me that they have. And I

161
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 2: don't think they will want to. So that is one

162
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 2: thing that you know, I love having open dialogue and

163
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 2: communication with them, but maybe not for that, just maybe

164
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 2: not that I've just told them don't ever watch it.

165
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 2: Oh my god, just trust me, you don't want to

166
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 2: see it.

167
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: They will absolutely watch it. I'm just gonna prep you

168
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: for that.

169
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 2: I'm sure, But maybe not, Maybe I don't. They don't

170
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 2: actually want to watch my stuff because they saw their

171
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 2: dad in a video where he was flirting with He

172
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 2: was like seventeen. It was a George Harrison video and

173
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 2: he was like flirting with a girl, and they almost

174
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 2: before the video was done, they said, Okay, I don't

175
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 2: want to watch anything you've done. Mom. I don't want

176
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 2: to see you with somebody else, because they do. They

177
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 2: don't see alert with somebody and he was like seventeen,

178
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:40,839
Speaker 2: he was a baby.

179
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: Every time they see me doing like a makeout scene

180
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: from that from that time, they're like, oh, they just

181
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: hate watching it.

182
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they don't even like, like when my

183
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,479
Speaker 2: husband and I are affectionate to each other, they're just like, oh,

184
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 2: can you imagine, like you know, seeing me with married

185
00:09:59,200 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 2: to someone else.

186
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Yeah, this is Mother's Day Week. Do

187
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: you think that like your maybe your relationship with your

188
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 1: mom has changed your perspective now on how you treated her,

189
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: what she had to endure.

190
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 2: I mean, I was a great kid. Fifteen wasn't great,

191
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 2: but I was moody. But you know, I've learned so

192
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 2: much being a parent, and it's just they teach me

193
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 2: every day and it's so incredible. I was an only child,

194
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 2: and to have two daughters to watch siblings and that dynamic.

195
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm still grieving the loss of not having

196
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 2: a sibling because I desperately wanted that when I was

197
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 2: growing up. So it's nice to get to sort of

198
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,839
Speaker 2: see it through them, even the hard parts. But I'm

199
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 2: learning so much as well.

200
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: When you had your first daughter, where you're like, I

201
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: definitely want to have a sibling for her. Did you

202
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: plan that?

203
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 2: Oh yeah. I always was like, at least two, I

204
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 2: have to because.

205
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: They have to have somebody.

206
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. I did not like being an only child, so

207
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 2: so for me, I was like, Nope, getting a sibling.

208
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: That's good. I love the relationship that my daughters have

209
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: with one another. I don't love it all the time

210
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: because sometimes it gets a little crazy up in here,

211
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: all these girls and the hormones flowing. But I still

212
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 1: love that they have each other forever. Absolutely, I'm curious

213
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: about your campaign that you're a part of Asked to

214
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: be Sure. I want to know more about this.

215
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 2: Yes, so asked to be Sure and asked to be

216
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 2: Sure dot com with the two and the bee the

217
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 2: letter B Yes, I partnered with GSK two to raise

218
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 2: awareness to ask to be Sure, which is a health

219
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 2: awareness campaign for me.

220
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: Ninja someone is also known as meningitis ningitis. What the

221
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: heck is that? And why do we have to be

222
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: worried about it?

223
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 2: Well, so, it's an uncommon but very serious illness that

224
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 2: can have just life altering consequences, even death, and sometimes

225
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 2: as fast as like within twenty four hours. So this

226
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 2: campaign really encourages parents, particularly with kids sixteen to twenty three,

227
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 2: because that's the most prevalent age group because of their

228
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 2: behaviors of like like some kids going off to college

229
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 2: and living in close quarters or sharing lip gloss or

230
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 2: drinks or kissing, you know, all of these behaviors that

231
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 2: are perfectly normal, but that is sort of the most

232
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 2: dangerous age range. So this encourages you to talk to

233
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 2: your doctors to make sure it hasn't slipped through the

234
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 2: cracks because some people are like because there's meningitis vaccines

235
00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 2: for ab C W and Y often gets overlooked because

236
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 2: it's a separate vaccine. And so you really just were

237
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 2: encouraging people to go ask the questions to your kids doctors.

238
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 2: When I did, it was so informative and there was

239
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 2: so much I didn't know. Obviously I'm not a doctor,

240
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 2: but like she explained it in such a way. You know,

241
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 2: what's really worrisome about this is that the fact that

242
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 2: the first person that develops meningitis, it's it's the symptoms

243
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 2: are just every day, like, oh, you're just getting sick.

244
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:39,719
Speaker 2: Like in fact, a friend of mine had like the

245
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 2: star quarterback on the high school football team, just athlete

246
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 2: of the year and all the things. He went home

247
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 2: with a headache and he died the next day. Because

248
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 2: I know, and it's just And I had this the

249
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 2: opportunity to meet with survivors and families that have been affected,

250
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 2: and it was so overwhelming and so emotional. I'm so

251
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 2: grateful that they're sharing their stories. As hard as I mean,

252
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 2: it burst into tears. How can you not, But it's

253
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 2: so wonderful that they're sharing their stories because it is

254
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 2: something I hadn't real I wasn't really aware of.

255
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: Right, because I kind of think like I did the

256
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: things I was supposed to do when they were little,

257
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: even if I wasn't even sure about it. But I

258
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: kind of just stood what the doctor told me. And

259
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: then you think when they're you know, you think you're

260
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: done with all of that and that there's no more

261
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: to do. Is there something when you do go to

262
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: the doctor and you talk about it and you ask

263
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: the questions, is this something that they can test your

264
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: child for before they get the vaccine?

265
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 2: Look, I'm not a doctor. Why I'm just saying, hey,

266
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 2: go please ask your doctor. But they will break it down,

267
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 2: you know, because because obviously you're hoping that the doctors

268
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 2: are going to tell you everything you ever need to know,

269
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 2: but like they they if you don't ask about certain things,

270
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 2: they might not bring it up. So that's why I

271
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 2: asked to be sure. Is in encouraging parents to empower

272
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 2: them to go and ask their doctors about you know,

273
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 2: are you okay all the things, all the doctory things. Yes,

274
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 2: I haven't even played a doctor.

275
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: I haven't either. I'm not sure I could do it

276
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: with all the words you.

277
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 2: Heard me try to say me Ninja cockle, right, you

278
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 2: take it practically? Yeah?

279
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: Wait, okay, so I'm assuming that on the website asked

280
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: to be sure dot com. Yes, I am assuming that

281
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: there are lists of questions you should go into the

282
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: doctor with. Are things you could go in there and

283
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: ask about.

284
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, And we're just encouraging because the more knowledge

285
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 2: you have, the more you can make the right decision

286
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 2: for your families and just raise awareness of something that

287
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 2: you're like, wait, did I was? I am? I are?

288
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 2: We okay? Like you know, it's just it's always just

289
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 2: good to have other people helping you not miss anything

290
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 2: and super important you know, that could be you know,

291
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 2: life impacting.

292
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: I'm definitely going to check it out, and I hope

293
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: that all of our listeners do too, because it's really

294
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: really important, especially that age when they're just so excited

295
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: about starting their life. I have a daughter who is

296
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: chronically ill, and she's just a constant thing with her

297
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: throat and with her energy level, and we you know,

298
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: we've gotten so many tests mono and strip and all

299
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: the tests. I'm going to go in there and talk

300
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: about what other things I need to know.

301
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, communication, especially with your doctor is the most

302
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 2: important thing.

303
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, as a mom, do you believe that we need

304
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: to allow our girls to learn life's sometimes really hard lessons?

305
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: Are are you a little bit more like me? And

306
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: want to help them with every hardship they ever come upon.

307
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 2: Look, I definitely if I could take away any and

308
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 2: all of their pain, I would, But I also so

309
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 2: the hardest thing for me, I think when they were

310
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:08,719
Speaker 2: little was the people people always encouraged us not to

311
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 2: react when they fell, and because then they look at

312
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 2: you and you're like and then they just burst into tears.

313
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 2: That was so hard for me because of course every

314
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 2: fiber of my being was like did they get hurt?

315
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 2: But like once I like like really practiced like just

316
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 2: and I didn't want to also like say you're okay,

317
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 2: Like I'm not going to tell you how like you

318
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 2: tell me are you hurt? And then we'll react after that.

319
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 2: But and when I saw that when I actually could

320
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 2: like did it in practice, and it was the right

321
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 2: thing to do because then she could like either get

322
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 2: back up and go on with whatever she was doing,

323
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 2: or she was hurt and she needed like Okay, now

324
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 2: it's the scrape booboo and we go fix you and like,

325
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,199
Speaker 2: but it was it was her reaction rather than like

326
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 2: me overreacting, which I can definitely that was my instinct.

327
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 2: But so so I think in a sense there's always that, like,

328
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 2: you know.

329
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: If somebody was mean, oh, do you need me to

330
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: call their parents? I still want to do that all

331
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: the time. Yeah, should I talk to them? I can

332
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 1: call that kid or maybe his dad or whatever. Like,

333
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 1: let me know.

334
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 2: I do get very mama bear where I'm just like

335
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 2: in the parking lot, I'll see them walking, you mean

336
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 2: to my baby, just give them a side with my

337
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 2: sunglasses on. I'm a total jerk. But and by the way,

338
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 2: the kids are like so over it, and they're just

339
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 2: like and I'm like, but.

340
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: Have you had to handle like heartbreak yet and all

341
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 1: the feelings of young teenage girls.

342
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 2: Luckily no, My my older daughter has this lovely boyfriend.

343
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 2: They almost like at a year, which I'm like for

344
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 2: high school, like that's like impressive, so you know, and

345
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 2: obviously navigate through like oh, disappointments or whatever. But no,

346
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 2: they there hasn't been the the super heartbreak yet. Yeah,

347
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 2: I mean there's been like friendship dramas and stuff, and

348
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 2: that's been you know, it's so hard not to it's

349
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 2: also hard not to like go on and on and

350
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 2: on about it, like, you know, because I would talk

351
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 2: to the end of the world with them, like about

352
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 2: anything they wanted to talk to. So so I've got

353
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 2: to navigate like just saying enough but not making it feel.

354
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: Like it's like sure, yeah.

355
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 2: And they don't want to come to me because they're like,

356
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 2: I just don't have the time. I know.

357
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: It's really there's so many like little balancing acts that

358
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: we have to do as moms. I think of teenagers,

359
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: I mean just kids in general. It's really hard. I

360
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 1: always say I would rather take care of my three

361
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: little girls and diapers and just like all of that

362
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: and what it takes to raise them as young women

363
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: and as they get older, like there's just it's like

364
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: an emotional warfare you have to.

365
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 2: Teach teach that roller coaster. I kept fifteen was rough

366
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 2: and that was my worst teenage year too as well.

367
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 2: But there's a lot of eye rolling and a lot

368
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 2: of where's that person that I used to know? But

369
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 2: I just kept reminding myself. I even told her at

370
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 2: one point, I was like, these are the years you

371
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 2: were going to apologize for later, And you know what,

372
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 2: she already did. She wrote the most beautiful email parents

373
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 2: could ever read, because she went away and she sort

374
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 2: of saw somebody else exhibiting that typical teenage angsty behavior

375
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 2: and how it kind of was a nuisance for everyone

376
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,959
Speaker 2: around them, And she wrote this lovely email of like,

377
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 2: I'm sorry for every eye roll, and I really that's amazing. Yeah,

378
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 2: so you're back. Really was a profound experience for her.

379
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 2: So I felt like, you know, this came like decades

380
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 2: before I thought it would.

381
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I feel like that is the best feeling

382
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: when you see that they have that emotional intelligence and

383
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: they're able to like acknowledge their mistakes. Sometimes they learn

384
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,199
Speaker 1: so much more because they've worked through it themselves and

385
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: they yeah.

386
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 2: They And I do think kids in general nowadays have

387
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,479
Speaker 2: that way more than than I certainly had when I

388
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 2: was their age.

389
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, me too.

390
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just it's it's more in the ether.

391
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: But it's yeah, it's just really hard not to hurt

392
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: for your kids when something bad happens to them.

393
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 2: I know. But like even for like when they were young,

394
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 2: it was you know, like I said to my daughters,

395
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 2: I'm like, you know, the sad days make the happier

396
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 2: days happier, like the happy days happier because you know,

397
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 2: you can't, like you can't grow a rose without fertilizer.

398
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 2: So it's just you can't have a life with It's

399
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 2: like if you were always happy, you would never know

400
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 2: you're happy.

401
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: That's true. Yeah, I'm all. I'm a feelings person. I

402
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: have talked about it before. I've been told I'm too

403
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:37,400
Speaker 1: emotional by certain people in my past or like dramatic

404
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: or emotional, and I was like, yeah, i am dramatic

405
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 1: because that's what I do for a living. But I'm

406
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 1: not too emotional. I'm actually emotion full and.

407
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 2: I'm proud of it. Oh I like that.

408
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: Yet, don't let anyone tell you're too emotional.

409
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 2: Just don't accept that anybody's sensitive. Oh I got that

410
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,199
Speaker 2: all the time. And you know what, it's also what

411
00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 2: makes me, you know, be able to feel as much

412
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 2: as I do and and and give as much as

413
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 2: I give, and so it's it's an asset.

414
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 1: How are you celebrating Mother's Day this year?

415
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 2: Well, I'm going to go home because I'm in New

416
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 2: York right now, so I'll go tomorrow and then just

417
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 2: be with my babies. And I don't know what they

418
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,360
Speaker 2: have planned, but but it'll just be great.

419
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: I love it that they are at an age now

420
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: where they start to think, oh, it's Mother's Day, what

421
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: are we going to do? And they start to plan

422
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: it together.

423
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 2: My younger daughter was like, Mom, will you do you

424
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 2: have a flat iron? Will you just send me ones

425
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 2: you would like? I mean, you know, just But pretty

426
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 2: soon I was like.

427
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,360
Speaker 1: Hey, you're getting a flat iron for Mother's Day.

428
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 2: Well then she was like, I think it's better if

429
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 2: you just buy it. I'm like, oh no, because we

430
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 2: both borrow my sixteen year old's flat iron.

431
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well I had one until she took it. Yeah,

432
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 1: and then.

433
00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 2: One exactly exactly, and she's got beautiful curly I'm like,

434
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 2: stop straightening it. I paid money to get that girl.

435
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: I sat in a makeup chair for hours getting those.

436
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

437
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 1: I guess. Do you think either of them wants to

438
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: be a little actress?

439
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 2: My younger one does and I and it's it's we

440
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 2: are like constantly talking her out of it or trying

441
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 2: to look if she really wanted to do it, I would,

442
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 2: of course. I'll support whatever they want to do. But

443
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 2: the thing is when we question her on why she

444
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 2: wants it. She does not give the right answers.

445
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: What's her answer?

446
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 2: She wants to be she loves going to a red carpet,

447
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 2: and she wants to be famous, can meet other famous people.

448
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, yeah, well you can do it that way.

449
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 2: Now, I guess you could. I guess you could. But

450
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 2: but I'm.

451
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: Curious though, like, why would you not want her to

452
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 1: become an actress.

453
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 2: I just don't want it now. I want her to

454
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 2: just have the childhood. I feel like, I, you know,

455
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 2: she's she's got so much going for her, and she's

456
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 2: you know, she is good at most everything that she tries,

457
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 2: which is a good and bad thing. But I just

458
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 2: feel like I just want her to be well rounded.

459
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 2: And then if she decides later on that that is

460
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 2: a passion of hers, like for the right reason, then great,

461
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,679
Speaker 2: I am all for it, and I will support you.

462
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 2: And we've got your room ready for you when when

463
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 2: you're on like your one hundredth audition and haven't booked anything,

464
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 2: or you know, or maybe it'll be better. But I

465
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 2: just feel like she's she's a kid, and she should

466
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 2: be a kid, and she doesn't need to like go

467
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,880

00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 2: tall or not tall enough for this or that or not,

469
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 2: like you know, all the things. And maybe they don't

470
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 2: do that anymore, Like they don't just tell you all

471
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 2: these horrible things about.

472
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: You wait until you leave the room.

473
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, like maybe the agents know not to tell you

474
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 2: as a child anymore. But that was not my experience.

475
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,919
Speaker 2: So and and she's just she's a great kid, and

476
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 2: I just don't want her to ruin her.

477
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 1: We know too much. Yeah, as moms who have done it.

478
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we're like, hey, yeah, go be in that

479
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 2: acting at school, go be in the school play and

480
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 2: do all this. And she's not doing that. So it's

481
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 2: not her passion.

482
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, like she's too afraid.

483
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 2: Yeah she Well, it just she's got so many things

484
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:44,800
