WEBVTT - Madeline Zima Meets World 0:00:18.840 --> 0:00:25.160 Adler learned his first curse word, which was ass. 0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:30.639 That's barely a curse word. That's acceptable on television. That's fine. 0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:35.800 That's probably where he heard it, and he said he said, 0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:38.040 Asie said something about like somebody was going to beat 0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:42.520 someone's ass, and Jensen said, what did you just say? 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:45.080 And he was like, I'm going to beat that guy's ass. 0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:51.960 Gens was like, oh, that is another another word for butt, 0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:54.400 and we just prefer that you say butt, and he 0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:57.480 was like, okay, so. 0:00:57.400 --> 0:01:00.480 He hasn't he doesn't acknowledged the power yet. No, And 0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:02.320 he went through a phase I guess was probably like 0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:05.800 seven or eight where it was like when he realized 0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:07.640 he could get a rise out of people by swearing, 0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:09.600 and oh man, it. 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:10.959 Was just over right. 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:13.360 Well, we said like, you can swear at home, just 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:16.119 don't swear in front of other adults or other kids. 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:18.640 And once he knew he had that freedom, it was 0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:22.319 like car rides would just become a swear fest. And 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:25.080 then it was like wanting to find songs or things 0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:28.680 where people swore, and that was like, oh my god, 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:30.919 you just wanted to like keep quoting them and talking 0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:32.760 and was like okay, dude. And then he finally he 0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:34.959 exhausted himself. But it took a while. It was like 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:38.080 a good six months of just having to swear, and 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:40.840 like it finally was just like, you know, it's boring. Yeah, 0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:44.760 it's actually like a sign of limited vocabulary. Like if 0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:46.880 you can't find a more creative way to say something, 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:50.800 you just think that saying the effort is funny. It's 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:52.080 minimal humor. 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:54.760 Adler has been trying to figure out what the effort 0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:57.360 is for years, so have I. 0:01:57.360 --> 0:01:59.840 I mean, you know, it's a verb, it's a noun, 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:01.720 it's so many things. 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:02.040 The F word. 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:06.920 And then one day he said, Mom, I know what 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:10.240 the F word is? And I said you do, and 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:16.600 he goes, yeah, freaking And I went. 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:21.040 Exactly, yeah it is. That's a word that starts with F. 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:26.920 And then yesterday again he asked, Jensen, does the F 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:28.320 word stand for Fox? 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:39.720 So close? So so close? But thankfully, thankfully you haven't 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:40.520 crossed that bridge. 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:44.799 So yeah, anyway, I'm uh, I just can't believe it, 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:49.480 but he's six. We've done a really good job in 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:53.720 our house of not cursing around our kids. We just 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:56.160 we just don't do it. As a matter of fact. 0:02:57.080 --> 0:03:01.720 For a while, Adler was saying, oh sh which was 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:03.000 like so cute. 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:05.040 My favorite thing he would ever say. 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:08.760 No, Indi, indies brought what the heck into our life, 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:11.919 that's what we love too. He's like, Dad, what the heck. 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:12.640 That's what he's saying. 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:17.200 That's great, yeah, or shoot shoot No. Alex made the 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:20.200 mistake last month, literally a month maybe a month and 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:23.040 a half ago, because she decided that she swore too much, 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:25.200 and she was like, I want to swear less. So 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:27.320 she told India that she would pay him a dollar 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:27.799 every time. 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:30.080 Oh my gosh, it's up. 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:33.320 To thirty eight dollars and India is holding her too. 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:35.680 He's like, I want every last. 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:38.280 Day he won and she's like no, come on. And 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:40.520 then and then we were in Costa Rica for her 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:42.240 birthday and he was like, how many times you just 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:47.440 wear in Costa Rica? You should have kept track for me? Well, 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:49.520 that's what he's claiming. He's like an accountant now he 0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:54.240 suddenly you know, he just loves it. He loves And 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:55.960 then he tried it with me. I'm like, no, there's 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:58.960 there's no f and way I'm going to keep track 0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:01.240 of I swear. I'm I'm fine with the amount of 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:04.200 swearing that I do. I like it. I'm very comfortable 0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:04.520 with it. 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:06.240 What does Indy like to spend his money on? 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:09.320 That's a good question. Nothing. I mean there's stuff the 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:11.560 kid wants for nothing, like we you know, if he 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:14.440 wants something for real, we usually buy it for like 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:17.760 Christmas or his birthday. Usually gets big things that he wants. 0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:20.440 And then like if we go somewhere, like he always 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:23.640 needs clothes because he's growing, so we're constantly buying him 0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:25.359 like shirts that he wants. As far as like we 0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:27.080 go somewhere and he's like, I want a T shirt 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:29.440 from this plaace or whatever, We'll buy it for him. 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.640 So that's like and then stuffed animals. He has like 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:34.279 an entire stuffy kingdom. 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:36.560 Oh so yeah, my kids are rifriend is ruck. 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:40.240 I never was into stuffed anim Yeah. So so every 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:42.280 time we're like somewhere, he begs for like a little 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:44.600 stuffed animal if we're traveling, So we end up buying 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:47.200 him that. But like, otherwise, what else do you want? 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:47.520 Kid? 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:49.919 Like, I don't know what you need? And yet he 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:52.560 wants money. He wants the idea of money, and we 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:55.039 like we did open up a like little bank account 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:58.360 for him, and you know, we try to keep track 0:04:58.360 --> 0:04:59.960 of it, but he never spends it. He never needs 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:02.240 so it's like, what are we doing? This is so anyway, 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:05.040 Alex owe him thirty eight bucks. He's holding her to it, 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:06.840 even though I don't know what he would do with it. 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:10.880 But yeah, my kids have gotten gift cards for their 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:13.520 birthdays and then they've just kind of sat in a drawer. 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:16.920 And then every now and then, Jensen, like since I've 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:19.800 been you know, during the Dancing with the Stars run, 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:23.520 Jensen would say, Uh, if you guys are really good 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:26.680 this week this weekend, I will take you shopping and 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:27.880 you can use your gift card. 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:29.480 And they would be like what. 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:31.960 And then they'd get to walk into a store and 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:33.880 pick something with their gift card. And I think it's 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:37.680 also the cutest thing that both of them are obsessed with. 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:41.480 They still have more money on the gift card, right, so, 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.000 like they had a twenty five dollars card, but they 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:46.479 only bought a fifteen dollars thing. And then they come 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:49.159 home and they're like, look what I got. I spent 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:52.880 my own money on it, and I still have money 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:55.840 on the gift card and I'm like, wow, They really 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:56.920 they're enjoying that. 0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:59.120 You know what else Adler really likes, and it's kind 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.160 of funny to me, is he likes spending the gift 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:03.400 card money. But I've asked him, we'll bring this money 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:04.919 along in case you need more, and he's like, the 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:10.040 actual money. 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:12.840 We've been having this weird thing the last couple of 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:17.400 weeks where we've realized Indy has a very accurate assessment 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:19.640 of the value of money. Oh like we would have, 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:21.960 we assumed because he talks about like wanting to be 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.360 a billionaire or whenever talks about money, talks about it 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:26.920 in like kid terms. But at one point we were like, 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:29.400 how much do you think that would cost? We asked 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:31.400 him about a car or something, and he nailed the 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:33.719 price exactly, and then we were like, how much do 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:37.600 you think our house costs? Nailed it? We're like what, 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:39.640 So now our big thing is we just quiz him 0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:42.240 on like how much do you and he's pretty accurate. 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:43.960 I have no idea where he got this, because we 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:45.839 don't talk about money in front of it. It's like 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:48.920 not like something we but at somewhere along the way, 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.800 and I encourage because I've had this conversation with other 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:54.880 parent friends who they just assume their kid doesn't. But 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:57.320 I ask your kid, ask your kid, like how much 0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:59.400 do you think? And I think right around this age, 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:02.320 So Indy's gonna turn eleven next month. I think that's 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:04.920 like when you really do start kind of figuring it out. 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:07.640 Like the idea of like a million dollars right, kind 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:09.400 of gets into perspective and you're like, what does a 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:11.720 million dollars buy? Or I don't know how he's picked 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:13.320 it up, but he actually has picked it up, and 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:15.640 like we're kind of impressed. I'm like, all right, dude, 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:17.960 but he still doesn't do anything with money or no, 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:20.640 what you know he wants to buy? But yeah, I 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:22.640 mean he wants to be a billionaire. And I keep 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:24.840 saying to him, I'm like, doesn't that sound kind of miserable, 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:27.240 Like what would you do? What would you are? 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:28.760 Not going to sound miserable to him? 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:31.280 No, but I don't know what he wants to do 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:33.560 with it, Like he just wants the status, right, but 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:35.120 like what you would you act? I was like, do 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:37.440 you realize if you're a billionaire, everybody around you is 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:40.120 constantly asking you for money because they know that it's 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:41.960 you can afford it and you're never going to like 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:44.520 really lose it. And he's like, yeah, I guess that's true. 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:47.240 But but like I think about that, and I think, 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:49.920 why would that bother me? If it's never gonna it 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:52.880 is true, it's never going to actually affect me. If 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:54.840 I would, I would love to have you. 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:57.880 Searching it away and everybody. But think about it. You 0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:00.080 have like you have like probably ten people and your 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:02.000 immediate circle like family, and like, yeah, you know that, 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:03.880 you'd be like, I'm going to help them out. I'm 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:05.760 going to buy them a house. And then if you're 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:07.960 really worth a billion dollars, you're gonna have like another 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:11.440 twenty people. Yeah, like hey, could you help me out? 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:13.680 And you'd be like, oh, yeah, I'll help you out. 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:15.960 Listen. I don't mean to put Danielle on blast here, 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:18.080 but her charitable heart is humongous. 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:19.720 It all sounds amazing to me. 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:24.160 She helps people, She helps people secretly in so many 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:25.360 times financially. 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:29.600 Yes, but also I do think then it would be like, 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:33.199 once you've asked and I have helped, you say it's 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:35.400 like I need help with a down payment for a house, 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:39.319 and I would be like yes, absolutely, or you know, 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:43.400 my medical bills or you know, yes, or I am 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:45.440 struggling to put food on the table. 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:46.000 Yes. 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:50.240 But then once you're like out of that situation. If 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:53.360 it were like three months later or even a year later, 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:55.920 and you were like, I really want to take a trip, 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:59.160 I'd be like we No, No, we did that already. 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:00.679 I I help. 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:03.199 I gave you, I gave you. Would would never end 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:04.680 I know you would be in this you'd be in 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:07.920 this position of like endless loop and yeah, and it's 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:09.760 like where do you draw the line? Because I like, well, 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:13.199 my people in my town, people in my country. I 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:14.320 didn't want to help everything. 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:15.320 I know, that is the thing. 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:17.079 Yeah, I'd have no money. That's why I want to 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:18.640 be a billionaire.

It's called Wandering Bear, and there's a running 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:04.080 joke where Larry, who was an early adapter to electric cars, 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:08.400 thinks it's a mandatory courtesy amongst fellow Prius owners to 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:11.160 wave at each other as they pass in the street, 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:14.160 a little head nod to say I'm part of the 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:17.560 club too, And I often think being a former child 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:21.840 actor has the same unwritten rules. It's such a small 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:24.920 group of people, some still in the business thriving, some 0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:27.480 who've entered a new field of work completely, but no 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:30.880 matter what, we all share a unique experience that shaped 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:34.680 our lives at a young, impressionable age, and it's impossible 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:37.280 to fully explain to those who didn't live it. So 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:39.920 I think a lot of us feel comfortable around fellow 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:43.320 child actors, knowing there's a shorthand and care we treat 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:46.160 each other with. And so this week's guest, though we've 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:49.240 never met her, is someone we would absolutely give the 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:52.320 Prius wave too. She broke onto the scene at just 0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:54.800 seven years old in the nineteen ninety two thriller The 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:58.600 Hand that Rocks the Cradle, quite a first gig, and 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:00.800 it wasn't much later that she book the type of 0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:04.640 sitcom you dream of playing. Grace Sheffield on The Nanny, 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:08.200 a hit show that lasted six seasons in catapulted fran 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:12.280 Dresser and the entire cast into the spotlight, but where 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:14.080 some seven year olds who grew up on a sound 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:16.719 stage living in front of a live studio audience might 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:20.079 rebel against the industry. Now, as an adult, she has 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:24.000 continued to appear on tons of TV shows, including Gray's. 0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:26.320 Anatomy, Heroes, California, Caation. 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:31.079 You, and Hacks, as well as movies like Subservience and Bombshell. 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:32.720 Also worth noting. 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:34.880 As a child, she starred in the Hulk. 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:38.600 Hogan vehicle Mister Nanny, and yes I will be asking 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:41.880 her about that. And so this week we welcome to 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:44.560 podmeets World a fellow member of the club. 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:46.000 It's Madeline Zema. 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:51.360 Hi, Madeline, let me turn on my on your camera 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:54.280 so we can sign that.

DiCaprio was a 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:56.840 child actor. Reese Witherspoon was a child actor. I mean, 0:15:57.560 --> 0:16:03.240 like super intelligent, loved people who had to confront really 0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:07.120 early things like identity, success, showing up on time, Like 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:10.200 those are things maybe too early to confront it twenty 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:13.840 four months, So that's of damage. But there's also a 0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:17.120 lot of things that were you know, instill that I 0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:20.200 still feel like are amazing qualities too. 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:20.640 Totally. 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:24.920 I feel like, yeah, I don't know, I feel very 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:26.680 grateful for my weird path. 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:29.160 You know, Yeah, we are right there with you. 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:30.960 I mean we talk about it all the time that like, 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:34.840 are there moments that are that are tough or difficult, Sure, 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:37.720 but also like some of those moments made us who 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:40.760 we are today, and like it wouldn't trade any of 0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:42.720 the lessons or the experiences. 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:45.080 Do you guys never get can I ask you a question? 0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:48.320 I know that Do you ever get tired of being asked? 0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:50.520 Both of you guys?

Do you get tired of people asking you? 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:57.360 Like it it's saying like I had a crush on 0:16:57.440 --> 0:16:59.240 you growing up?

I mean, yeah, 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:08.000 I don't know, it's it's there's there's not much more 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:10.080 you could say. I mean, I feel like people saying 0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:15.600 they have a crush is like cool, thanks. Well yeah, 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:18.040 it's also just like you can't return the sentiment because 0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:20.320 you're just meeting them, right, so you can't be like, oh, 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:23.119 I also have a history with you, because you don't. 0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:25.120 But yeah, it took me a long time to get 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:27.760 comfortable with the idea that like one sided history is 0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:30.280 not necessarily a bad thing, you know what I mean. 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:32.879 Like I used to be like that's weird, like I 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:34.440 don't know you, and I would be alienated by that. 0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:37.040 I kind of pushed the the like put up my walls. 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:40.720 And it's only recently that I've been able to say like, actually, 0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:42.880 that's kind of cool. Like when I think about how 0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:46.240 I felt about people I saw in movies or on stage, 0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:48.920 and you know, yeah I would I had feelings for them, 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:51.680 and I think you know the hardest part was when 0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:55.440 we were actually teenagers and we were meeting other teenagers. 0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:58.239 That was uncomfortable because then it was like I know you, 0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:00.439 I love you, You're a part of my life, and 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:02.240 you'd be like, no, I don't. 0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:05.280 You know, and they're like we could probably date, Yeah, 0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:06.320 we could hang out. 0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:08.160 And you're like yeah. 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:10.680 I agree with writer that the hardest part was as 0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:14.520 a teenager and then and then always second guessing whether 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:17.960 somebody was really interested in getting to know you or 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:20.720 was kind of in love with the idea of you. 0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:25.439 As an adult, I always accept it never gets old 0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:27.280 hearing that somebody had a crush. It's never get it's 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:32.000 never like annoying or like whatever. It's always very complimentary. 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:35.760 But there's definitely I feel a distance from it. I 0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:41.640 know that what they felt was physical attraction. They thought 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:45.600 I was an attractive person, and they loved the concept 0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:47.800 of who they thought I was based on a character 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:50.920 I was playing. So I'm I'm very aware that they're 0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:53.600 not actually telling me they had a crush on me. 0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:57.560 They had a crush on their idea of me, based 0:18:57.600 --> 0:19:00.840 on one aspect of me that is me, myhysical appearance, 0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:05.040 and the other that's mostly written by Michael Jacobs. 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:10.360 See what they love is my physical body with Michael Jacobs, 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:12.000 and I just. 0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:16.399 Say thank you, and it's yeah, it's never what about 0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:18.520 for you? Is that an awkward situation for you? 0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:21.520 I mean people don't normally say that because I was 0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:25.800 young and not like I wasn't you know. I mean 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:28.760 I had a long awkward phase. So no, people don't 0:19:28.760 --> 0:19:31.399 really people know. People don't come at me like that, 0:19:31.640 --> 0:19:33.480 you know what I mean. Like people will say things 0:19:33.520 --> 0:19:39.520 that are wildly inappropriate from the californication stuff. Oh, and 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:42.639 they'll say things that are like gross, and I just 0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:45.760
