Yeah, and that was also frowned upon, but 262 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: now everybody does it on social media, whether you receive 263 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 1: the backlash or not. Everybody does it, and some people 264 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 1: get praised for speaking their opinion while. 265 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,119 Speaker 2: Others get the backlash. 266 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 4: Yeah. 267 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: So you're entitled to your own opinion.

You are rehearsing each week, 345 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: every single day, hours on end, perfecting your routine. 346 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 2: It's a lot of work. 347 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, so that maybe the amazing race because they 348 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 5: do do duos. 349 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 4: I don't know. That could be cute. 350 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 3: We'll see. 351 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: So you guys are set on a duo? Would you 352 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: ever do anything as a family? 353 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 3: We could because you know, my other two daughters, the sisters, 354 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 3: which we call them, they were on the show with us, 355 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 3: and they were really fan favorites because they're almost the 356 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 3: complete opposite of us. So we would actually love to 357 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 3: do things with the sisters. We'd always include them if there. 358 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 5: Was like an opportunity where like my mom was gonna 359 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 5: be like a hoster of her own show, if she 360 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 5: want me on it, whatever, if there was like an 361 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 5: opportunity for me to do a show, like, there's no 362 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 5: like it needs to be the both of us. 363 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 2: It's just we like to be the both like you prefer. 364 00:15:54,720 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 3: But you can go on gen X. You're always what 365 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 3: I say. 366 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 5: I don't. 367 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true. 368 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: I know we have our mothers make little appearances here 369 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: and there. 370 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 5: See you come on, all right, there you go. 371 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 4: You're always in New York. I know, we'll see. 372 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 2: What you would have to make the move a little closer. 373 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 3: I'll go with her. 374 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 2: How do your other daughters take it? 375 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: Obviously it's very obvious you receive a lot of the 376 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: public attention. Do they ever wish to have that or 377 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: do they hate it? 378 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 4: Never? Literally? 379 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 5: And people are like, oh, I feel so bad for 380 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 5: the sisters because they on my mom because of this, 381 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 5: Like they think they're neglected. They just don't want the spotlight. 382 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, so they feel as though you obviously praise 383 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: your daughter and then neglect your other daughters. 384 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 3: That's what people do, what some people think online, but 385 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 3: that is not true true. I smother all the children, yes, 386 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 3: you know, just because we happen to do this career together. 387 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,239 Speaker 3: My little one, she dances, so you know we're at 388 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 3: dance competitions. We go to see her at dance, you'll 389 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 3: see us pulling her luggage with her ten costumes. So 390 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 3: people don't see what's behind the scenes. Besides, because she 391 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 3: will yell them out and she's like, do not post me. 392 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 2: Yeah. 393 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 3: Yeah. 394 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: And that's also very like, I'm sure your daughters respect 395 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: that because my one sister, Gabriella, she's very private. Even 396 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 1: though we are a very public family, my sister Gabriella 397 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: really does not like the spotlight. She doesn't like the 398 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,719 Speaker 1: social media. She doesn't want to be involved in it. Correct, 399 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,959 Speaker 1: So my mother respects that. Yes, there are certain situations 400 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 1: where Gabriella will come in and be on it very little, 401 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: but she'll come in once in a while. But she 402 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: comes in, you know, says her peace and does a 403 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: very nice exit out. You know, you have to respect 404 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: your child's wishes. And my mom has never forced us 405 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: to be a part of the reality TV world. It 406 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: was honestly up to us and which one of us like, 407 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: which one of us wanted to really do it. And 408 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: I was always kind of my mom's right hand man, 409 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: so I always, you know, was there with her, talked 410 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: to her, gave her advice, and she is my best friend. 411 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: We talk about everything. So that was how we worked 412 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: and how we navigated it. And it obviously, you know, 413 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: the platform of the Real Housewives in New Jersey. Obviously 414 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: I'm so grateful for it. You know, my career was 415 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 1: able to flourish from it. But it really comes down 416 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,640 Speaker 1: to what your kids are comfortable with. And if your 417 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,199 Speaker 1: daughters do not want to be involved, that's right. They 418 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 1: shouldn't feel here, and we. 419 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 3: Don't want me to post them on social media once 420 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:52,640 Speaker 3: in a while. 421 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 2: To approve all before being post. 422 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,640 Speaker 3: They don't even want to be on a sty If 423 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 3: I put a story, mom, take that out, take that down. 424 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 2: So same thing. It's on repeat in my house exactly. 425 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 2: So I totally got it right. 426 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 3: So we're like you and your mom. The other sisters 427 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 3: they don't want it as much. 428 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, Milania is very involved. 429 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 1: So Malania obviously is on social media and participates in 430 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: you know, the show and stuff. But Gabriella and Audriana 431 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,880 Speaker 1: are more reserved. And our Audriana is still young. She's fifteen, 432 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: so she's still little, even though she's growing up she's 433 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: kind of figuring it out. She's still young. She's you know, 434 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: one day she'll make herself public. Then she'll be like, actually, 435 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:43,159 Speaker 1: never mind, I'm gonna go back on private. So she's 436 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: figuring it out, seeing which route she wants to take. 437 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: But Gabrielle is definitely the most reserved, and I would 438 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 1: say me and Milania are the most open to it. 439 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 2: So you have to do what's best for your family exactly. 440 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's funny because in the comment section of my video, 441 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,360 Speaker 5: it's always like, you look like the good eyes girl. 442 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 4: Literally all the time. 443 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 2: I do look like my sister Malania. 444 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: You really do, just because my sister Milania has the 445 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: big early hair, and I mean my mom's hair looked 446 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 1: exactly like yours growing up, and Malania has the curly hair, 447 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 1: and you really do. 448 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I know you guys.

That's if they 679 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 1: want something, you know, they go after it. I feel 680 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: like our generation not so much. And I think guys 681 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 1: are afraid, intimidated. They really don't shoot their shot as often. 682 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 1: And now I feel like girls shoot the shot first 683 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 1: more so than the guys and listen sometimes that works, yeah, 684 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: and it's okay to obviously, you know, maybe give a 685 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 1: little eye contact across the bar, maybe try to like 686 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 1: reel someone in. But I feel like they need like 687 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: the green light before yes, approaching. 688 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 4: Yes. 689 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: I feel like if you like give them that like 690 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 1: eye contact across the bar or show that you have interest, 691 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 1: then maybe they'll come over. 692 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 2: But I feel like they need. 693 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: That little likes that's like to be like it's okay. 694 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, no, I totally agree me. 695 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 1: What are some of the challenges that you guys have 696 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 1: faced in this mother daughter dynamic. 697 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 3: I think we're learning and we're growing. I think the 698 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 3: biggest challenge is who to trust? Yeah, in the industry. 699 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, and like finding the right teaming, the. 700 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 3: Right no, so even like with her brand deals for example. 701 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 5: You know, trusting the right person because either they want 702 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 5: too much or they will promise the world and not 703 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 5: get you anything. 704 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 3: And we're not comfortable with signing our life away, especially 705 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 3: you know under contract stay with TLC and then contract. 706 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 3: So that has been the most challenging of who to trust. 707 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 3: Does she need a brand manager for her brand deals 708 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,440 Speaker 3: or who is it? 709 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, we like excellence, so like we're also not going 710 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 5: to settle very so we don't. 711 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 3: Want somebody that oh, makes an excuse, Oh it's summer, 712 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 3: there's nothing going on, or it's the weekend. No one's 713 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 3: taken a call that is that's just not true. 714 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 1: I will confirm that for you guys in this industry, 715 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 1: trusting the right people is very, very difficult. Correct, everyone's 716 00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 1: going to try to get one over on you. They're 717 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,719 Speaker 1: going to try to more. They especially if you guys 718 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 1: are not trained to expect what is expected in the industry, 719 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 1: they will try to take advantage. For example, a brand 720 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 1: deal anything like that. If you have a manager, they 721 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 1: typically take ten percent. Say then you bring your manager 722 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 1: with you. When you sign an agency, they also take 723 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 1: ten percent. So then essentially you are giving away twenty 724 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 1: percent of your paycheck. But that's how things normally work. 725 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 4: Because then there's some. 726 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 1: And you're like, what, no, that that's like unheard of. Yeah, 727 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 1: it's typically the standard is ten percent. The more people 728 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 1: you bring in, obviously, you know, the more gets taken 729 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 1: out of your paycheck. Say you bring a lawyer in, 730 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 1: Typically a lawyer is like five percent. So you know, 731 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 1: as you obviously expand your team, they take a little 732 00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 1: more and a little more. But the biggest takeaway is 733 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 1: when you sign with a great team, they should also 734 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,960 Speaker 1: be bringing you in the revenue where that percentage is 735 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 1: in life or. 736 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 3: Death, Well, that's the person I want, whatever is because 737 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 3: it's fine. We're happy to pay someone for their hard work. 738 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 3: We don't want to pay when someone's not working, or 739 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:24,560 Speaker 3: just pay for an advice. I mean, if somebody called 740 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 3: me today and asked me, oh, can you get a 741 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:27,160 Speaker 3: job and. 742 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,800 Speaker 2: Never pay for advice. You only pay if they're bringing you. 743 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 5: I know. 744 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 3: But it's like people want It's strange to me, but 745 00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 3: people want money for just advice. 746 00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 5: But the nice thing is at least like we have 747 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 5: like my mom and I so like if it was 748 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 5: just me, yeah, someone could pull one over on me 749 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,560 Speaker 5: because you know, allakala dizzy, you know, but I feel 750 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 5: like having my mom in this, they're not always going 751 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 5: to you. 752 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 3: Know, but it's hard to navigate who Yeah, I mean, 753 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:57,880 Speaker 3: we we need the right team or right person to 754 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 3: take it to the next level I feel. I mean, 755 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 3: we've done really great on our own, but again, hard 756 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 3: to trust. 757 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:06,280 Speaker 2: It's hard to trust. 758 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,439 Speaker 1: And then sometimes, you know, when you are doing things 759 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 1: on your own, sometimes you feel like a small fish 760 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,800 Speaker 1: in a big pond because you could see the potential 761 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,440 Speaker 1: and you could see what's there. So then you get 762 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 1: a little lost in the sauce and you're like, okay, wait, 763 00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 1: I see what's out there.
