Speaker 2: I think being a new mom is the most on

19
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 2: the saying about me right now. There's nothing I think

20
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 2: only about this baby. He is five months old. You're

21
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 2: still like in the thick of it.

22
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 3: I'm in the thick of it, so everything. I'm shocked

23
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:12,919
Speaker 3: that I was able to do.

24
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 2: An hour long interview about American Dreams and not talk

25
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 2: about him. That was very impressive.

26
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 3: I understand, I totally understand it's it's hard, but yet

27
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 3: everything back to that core feeling of being a mother. Now,

28
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 3: you know, that's who I think.

29
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 2: About you all the time because so many things I

30
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 2: use every single day you gifted me because we had boys,

31
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 2: you were there's all the things that are no longer

32
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 2: and they're all wonderful.

33
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: Oh I'm so glad.

34
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 2: I'm literally wearing the pants that you gave me for

35
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 2: when your body is not ready to go into the

36
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 2: pants that you used to own.

37
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, you live in those pants never.

38
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna buy new pants.

39
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: That's exactly right.

40
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 3: Why are we trying to go backwards in time when

41
00:01:58,600 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 3: nothing is.

42
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 2: The same, thing is the same. That's exactly right, Jenna.

43
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 3: You know what all the grace in the world to you.

44
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 3: You're doing it and no one could have told me

45
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 3: what it was going to be like. It was such

46
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 3: an enunciation. No, and I'm super think.

47
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: I think it's part of it.

48
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 3: And as I think that people number one, they don't

49
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 3: want to scare you. I think moms are like, they're

50
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 3: just going to figure it out. It's hard, it's challenging.

51
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 3: It's the best thing in.

52
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: The whole world, especially about labor. Like, nobody told me anything.

53
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: The only way you can get an honest conversation about

54
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 2: labor with any woman who's been through it is to

55
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 2: have gone through it and then go back to them

56
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 2: and say, Okay, now we can talk about it. I

57
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 2: think that's the only way. Whether that's whether that's about

58
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: the mom sharing about her labor or just the listening

59
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 2: you cannot have you cannot listen from a place of understanding.

60
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 2: I have gone through it. I think that's.

61
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 1: Totally I totally agree. So that's like, what's going on me.

62
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 1: I love it.

63
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 3: You're a new mom. That's your whole thing right now.

64
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 3: And he's so beautiful, and I hope you're just giving

65
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 3: yourself all the grace, but we're so I'm proud of

66
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 3: you that you're here. I'm so grateful that you came.

67
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: You're glowing. And it was so funny.

68
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 2: My son was looking at me put makeup on for

69
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: the first time in five months and was just fascinated,

70
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 2: what are you What are you putting on your face?

71
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: What does that say? Is that? What is that rush?

72
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 2: I used to do this all the time.

73
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 3: I know, I know, but well, you look great. He's like, wait,

74
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 3: your hair comes out of a butN on the.

75
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: Top of your head. Who is this person. But don't worry,

76
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: my little one.

77
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 2: I'm still wearing my pumping and it's going back up,

78
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 2: don't you wear it.

79
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 3: It's going back back up in a bun. Right after that,

80
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 3: and we're finished here. Okay, let's get into some questions

81
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 3: and we can continue our wonderful conversation about motherhood as well.

82
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 3: Do you have a favorite performance when you were on

83
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 3: Glee or anything that sticks out? I'm asking you this

84
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 3: after five months of postpartum. Direct your brain.

85
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: So there was.

86
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 2: So American Dreams was a show where we would dance

87
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 2: on a show in the show called American Bandstand, which

88
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 2: was a real show from the sixties, but we shot

89
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 2: an American dream in the early two thousands. That let that

90
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 2: be as confusing as it sounds. And so my character

91
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 2: and Britney Snow's character were audience members and dancers on

92
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 2: American Bandstand. And there was one episode where Stacey I rekio,

93
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 2: I think that's how you say her name. We got

94
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 2: to be her dancers in the performance on the show.

95
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 2: So instead of just being you know, we viewers, Yeah,

96
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 2: instead of being viewers and dancers to the performer, to

97
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 2: the artist, we got to be with the artists and

98
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 2: had choreographed dance, and I thought that was really fun

99
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 2: because when we were dancing on American Bandstand as audience members,

100
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 2: it was kind of just bopping' provised bopping, And so

101
00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 2: for me, that was really fun to be able to

102
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 2: learn choreo and and and have snazzy outfits. I remember

103
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 2: them in high death. I had neon green capris with

104
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 2: this oh so cute, yeah, sparkly top and our hair.

105
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 3: It was fun to wear like in that time period.

106
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 3: You do like that time like dressing in the time

107
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 3: period because I love the fashion from that time period.

108
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 2: I do. I think it suits me. I think I

109
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 2: like a little I like a little more volume and

110
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 2: some some swooped up flip flip at the bottom. And

111
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: I like the I like the cut of the clothes

112
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 2: of the time and how thick the material is. And

113
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 2: I like the colors burnt oranges.

114
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 3: And burgundies and magentas like grays.

115
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 1: Yes, Okay.

116
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 3: Did the audition for Sugar Mada specifically ask for bad singing?

117
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: Do you remember it? Sure did?

118
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 2: Yes, it specifically asked for bad singing, And I, uh,

119
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 2: I had just hung out with the mom from kyle X.

120
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 2: Why Coylex. Why was a TV show? I don't know

121
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 2: if anybody read Kyle's Why I Was a TV show?

122
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: I'm sure people do.

123
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 2: Marguerite is her name, the actress's name. Uh told me,

124
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 2: I said, I have an audition for Glee and this

125
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 2: I have to be a bad singer. And she said

126
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 2: to me, either have either have your tempo be off

127
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 2: or your key be off. Pitch pitch be off, but

128
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 2: not not both. So I decided that Sugar had tempo.

129
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: Bad pitch bad pitch so smart.

130
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 2: I was just so lucky that she downloaded me with

131
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 2: a tip.

132
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it.

133
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 2: Was really, really, really fun to watch everyone's faces for

134
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 2: the for when I shot the big Spender scene, I'll never.

135
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: Is this real? Is you really doing this?

136
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 3: We didn't know you, we just met you that day.

137
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 3: You had just it was a very fast procesh. I

138
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 3: remember you telling us and literally she comes out the

139
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 3: gate and we were like, who is this girl? This

140
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 3: is crazy? But also she's also in this bits this

141
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 3: totally makes sense. Yeah, it was so good, so good. Okay,

142
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 3: if you had to pick the Trouble Tones or the

143
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 3: New directions, who would you pick the trouble Tones?

144
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: Obviously, obviously a thousand times over.

145
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 3: I am campaigning for a trouble Ton spin off.

146
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: Right.

147
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: It was the It was the real, the real deal.

148
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:41,200

Speaker 1: A You had some good head pieces and headposes and necklaces.

157

158
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 2: I think.

159
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: I think my sugar Shack outfit was a real winner.

160
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: Sugar Shack.

161
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 2: That was the one Valentine's Day episode, never forget. I

162
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 2: feel like that's when we did this this podcast the

163
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 2: last time. Was it Valentine's around Valentine's Day?

164
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: I think you're right. I think it was a sugar

165
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: that makes sense. It was a while pre baby uh

166
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: pre baby.

167
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:51,599
Speaker 3: Oh. Talk about filming Sticket. It's a cinematic masterpiece, is

168
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 3: what somebody said.

169
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 2: Wow, thank you. I will tell you about filming tickets

170
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 2: ticket what it was incredible So Jessica Bendinger was the

171
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 2: director of Stickett, and she deserves all the awards. She

172
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 2: had this whole movie in her head. She knew every scene,

173
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 2: she knew every corner of every scene.

174
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: She had.

175
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 2: She wanted it to look and feel like a kaleidoscope.

176
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 2: People didn't understand what that meant, and she really delivered

177
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 2: on that. When they did those those those gymnastics scenes

178
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 2: where they laid every single gymnast on top of each

179
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 2: other on the bars and the beams, and they'd have

180
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 2: the bird's eye view shot and it would be in

181
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 2: this beautiful, sacred geometry pattern of it was.

182
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: She was so she she and she.

183
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 2: Fought fought really hard to have her vision come through.

184
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 2: So she really deserves so much. And and let's see.

185
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 2: And it was of the time where they did months

186
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 2: and months and months of prep for a movie. I

187
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,719
Speaker 2: feel like nowadays, if you book a movie, you have

188
00:09:58,800 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 2: to film the next week.

189
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: That's what it was like to me.

190
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 2: And I think this was two thousand and five, and

191
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 2: we got to do months and months of prep where

192
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 2: we went to a gymnasium where they actually taught real gymnasts,

193
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 2: like real Olympic Hopeful's real kids who wanted to be

194
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 2: in the Olympics gymnastics, and then we were. Then they

195
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 2: just threw a gaggle of actors in there and hoped

196
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 2: for the best, and we worked out as if we

197
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 2: were training for the Olympics, which in hindsight was a

198
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 2: terrible idea. I got very very injured, did you. Oh yeah,

199
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 2: I fractured my sake.

200
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: I had to think.

201
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 2: Uh, I had tendinitis in pretty much every joint you

202
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 2: could think of. It was I had to sit on

203
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 2: a donut. I think I told you that, maybe I

204
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,719
Speaker 2: maybe I don't remember what story is I've told you.

205
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember if you told the story of

206
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: your audition on this podcast.

207
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 2: Oh yes, yes, for sure of face planting because I

208
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 2: had answered forgot to have the exercise jumpsuit that I

209
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 2: decided to wear the audition.

210
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was great. So you guys had a lot

211
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: of prep time, though.

212
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 2: Lots of prep times, maybe maybe a little too much.

213
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 3: And and then just.

214
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 2: Uh, at the time, they had built out all those

215
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 2: sets and they were incredible. And the locations we filmed were.

216
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 3: Where did you guys film that?

217
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 2: We filmed a little bit in Chatsworth.

218
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:25,479
Speaker 1: Oh, in like California.

219
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, in California, and we filmed a little in I

220
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,719
Speaker 2: think south of the airport. We filmed all over, but

221
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 2: I think the studios were in Chatsworth.

222
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 3: A couple of people asked this question, so there's a

223
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 3: few of these, but where do you think Sugar is now?

224
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 2: Wow? I wish I had planned this answer better because

225
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 2: of the fan fiction of Sugar from the future and

226
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 2: now we are in the future. So where so would

227
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,599
Speaker 2: Sugar would now be inventing the time machine that she

228
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 2: took to go back to see her moms, That would

229
00:11:59,960 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 2: be I feel like that would check out.

230
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: Right.

231
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 2: No, wait, no, if if her moms were going to

232
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 2: have her let's say, so, what year to the end?

233
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 3: Twenty fifteen or sixteen fifteen? Yeah, Sugar, Sugar ten years

234
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 3: years so yeah, so.

235
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 2: There you go, answered her answered her own question. Sugar

236
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 2: is ten. Sugar's ten years old with lesbian moms.

237
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: In leaming.

238
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 2: Ohiolley, doodling, doodling fashion, you know, doodling fashion, mockups of

239
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 2: clothes she likes.

240
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,959
Speaker 1: What is your favorite part of motherhood so far?

241
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 2: That's a great, great segue. I think how much my

242
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 2: attention has had to slow down and focus. You don't

243
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 2: realize how much you check out of life until you

244
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 2: have to keep a little baby alive. Yeah, and that's

245
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 2: your whole job because before I mean, I'm on my phone,

246
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 2: I'm watching something on TV, or I'm just in space

247
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 2: thinking about something.

248
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 1: You don't realize how.

249
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 2: Much dissociation you do on a daily basis until you

250
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 2: cannot dissociate because this thing needs all of your attention.

251
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 2: So that would be And it's my favorite part because

252
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 2: on the other side of realizing how much I am

253
00:13:55,320 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 2: on my phone and checking out, the journey to do

254
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 2: that has had me be more present, has had me

255
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 2: feel like time has slowed down. It's like the days

256
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 2: feel like they stretch on forever. And then, for example,

257
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 2: having this in the middle of the day, you're like,

258
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 2: let's have you know, let's get on and talk for

259
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 2: it's been it's been fifteen sixteen minutes since we started

260
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 2: this episode, and it feels like two hours.

261
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: That is the experience of being a new mom.

262
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 2: Everything feels so stretched out, and then on top of that,

263
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 2: so quick blur don't I don't understand, but Jenna, he

264
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 2: is he is almost walking. He for some reason, this

265
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 2: kid has just wanted to stretch his legs. From the second,

266
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 2: from the second he was born, he just wanted to

267
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 2: stretch his legs. So he always wants us to lift

268
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 2: him up so that he keeps like standing and he's

269
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 2: holding my fingers, and I'm like, you are five months old.

270
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 2: No one told you it was okay for you to

271
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 2: be walking over like this, yeah, moving like this.

272
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 4: Gosh, but anyway, the days okay, this is motherhood. The

273
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 4: days are long, the years are short. They are so short,

274
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 4: and yet your days are You're like, it.

275
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 3: Is sometimes like this though, You're like, the days are

276
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 3: a time stretches. And then I'm also like, it feels.

277
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: Like two hours. But also, how is it only twelve o'clock? Right,

278
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: I've lived a.

279
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 2: Whole life one thousand percent. My morning thing, my morning

280
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 2: feels like a year before I got here.

281
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: Yep. With him, yeah exactly.

282
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 3: And then you're like in this alternate universe, right, because

283
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 3: his attention is so present. So when he looks over

284
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 3: and sees my water bottle, I look, what are you

285
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 3: looking at? And then now we're both looking at this

286
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 3: water bottle and I pull it over to him, and

287
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 3: he wants to look at every spec on it and

288
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 3: so do I, And all of a.

289
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: Sudden, we're it is like a time war, yes, and

290
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: then he's.

291
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 2: Screaming, and then it's like time to feed, and then

292
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 2: and then the feeds happen every two and a half hours,

293
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 2: and so your whole life is kind of divided into

294
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 2: these two and a half hour blocks. Yeah, that's why

295
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 2: I love when people come visit. Yeah, I can say, oh,

296
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 2: that's when Jenna was here, or that's when, you know,

297
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 2: instead of just this kind of groundhog's day of these

298
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 2: two and a half hour blocks. But anyways, I'm obsessed.

299
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 2: I think this is definitely the best thing I've ever

300
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 2: done in my life so far.

301
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: We know this.

302
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm also a cancer zodiac sign, which I've

303
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 2: been told is a very good sign to be an aligned.

304
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 2: It's a sign to be aligned with motherhood or whatever.

305
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: That's I don't think i've heard that one. Maybe that's cancer.

306
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: That makes sense. That's why we get along so well.

307
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: What was like we're here with Chris Cole for.

308
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 2: Chris just putting in right from Chris cold. You know,

309
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 2: I'm sad that Chris and I didn't get a lot

310
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 2: of scenes together.

311
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 3: Our characters were rarely it was almost like you are

312
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,479
Speaker 3: too similar and too similar, you know, in a lot

313
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 3: of ways.

314
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 2: And then I think I can say from I think

315
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 2: I have I'm deeply intuitive, and I have a good

316
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 2: sense of people. And from the second I met him

317
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 2: and could feel his energy and his vibe and his essence.

318
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: I.

319
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 2: Will report that it is sparkling and clean and creative

320
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 2: and thoughtful and highly observant and dynamic, and it's just,

321
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 2: you know, it's a whole world in there that feels

322
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 2: it's it's like being in his presence kind of feels

323
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 2: like it transports you to his kind of psyche and

324
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 2: it's a good place. It feels like a good place

325
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 2: to be. Totally is like a good place to be.

326
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: That's true.

327
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 3: It's interesting that you're like, don't like you didn't work

328
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 3: with Chris a lot, Like it's so crazy to me

329
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 3: because you were there from so early on. Yet everybody

330
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 3: was kind of like almost at that point where we

331
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 3: all kind of went on our own character journeys, Like

332
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 3: everybody kind of split, and then.

333
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 1: Luckily we didn't. You know, Sugar and Tina stayed together

334
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: for a long time. God, thank goddess.

335
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 3: I'll never forget. There was a few days, and I

336
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 3: think I'm conflating some of these memories. But tell him

337
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 3: in the blue dresses with you and then also diamonds,

338
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 3: what diamonds? Sand that one too, Sandra D. When we

339
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 3: went to Chipotle in our pajamas, all of us. But

340
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 3: I think tell him was when we got catered Chipotle

341
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 3: for everybody, came in this really big box and you're

342
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 3: like sitting in the back of my car in your

343
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 3: blue dress with this really big chipottle box.

344
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 2: I think maybe, sander d, what's the one where we

345
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 2: did we were all in pajamas.

346
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: That's it, Sandar Dy.

347
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 2: I think maybe that right might be the most fun. Yes,

348
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 2: it might be the most fun I had on Glee.

349
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 2: It was so fun.

350
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: I don't know who directed that, but it feels like

351
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: they let us.

352
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,919
Speaker 2: Do a lot of whatever we wanted.

353
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 3: I can't remember, but for some reason doesn't that it does.

354
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: It does feel like we were let out of a

355
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 1: cage a little bit.

356
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 3: And that's yes, I agree, we really were. We were

357
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 3: just kind of doing our own thing, and whether they liked.

358
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 2: It or not, mild exactly, we were really pushing the

359
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 2: edge of.

360
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 3: In my mind, it was Eliti keen for some reason,

361
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 3: but I know it wasn't. Oh, it was Michael uppend All.

362
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 3: He really let us do our thing, have some fun. Yes, okay,

363
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 3: and be I don't feel like we really were wild.

364
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 3: We also like if we went to lunch together as

365
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 3: a group and then came back to work, there was

366
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 3: like an unshakable bond and you're just going and like

367
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 3: there's no stopping us.

368
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's that's the that's some post lunch connection

369
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:22,199
Speaker 2: magic that.

370
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: It's right, that's right.

371
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 3: How much did you get to improv as Sugar? I

372
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 3: actually don't remember. I feel like you did quite.

373
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 2: I feel like I my character at the beginning, no,

374
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 2: and throughout was mostly the improv.

375
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 3: I feel like you were like one of the only

376
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 3: ones who was kind of allowed to do that, so weird.

377
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 2: I think I did it because what else was I

378
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 2: supposed to do?

379
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: There was that much that was not much. You had

380
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: to make it, you had to like make it something.

381
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I just had my own kind of fun

382
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 2: and then it turned out that it worked and people

383
00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 2: liked it.

384
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 3: So yeah, Oh, somebody wants to know what you think

385
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 3: it was like growing up in the Britanna House.

388
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 2: her room is one of those books where there's not

389
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 2: there's not an inch of the wall that isn't covered

390
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 2: in some kind of collaged something. Whether it's yeah, she

391
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,880

Speaker 2: up her room.

393
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:31,520
