<v Speaker 6>Ohther are great frames.

0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:16.080
<v Speaker 1>Thanks. I had twenty twenty vision my whole life. I

0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:20.320
<v Speaker 1>had to my two parents. My two genetic parents were

0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:23.840
<v Speaker 1>like blind as bats. They got childhood glasses, and I

0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:24.240
<v Speaker 1>was like.

0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:24.800
<v Speaker 3>I got this.

0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:25.720
<v Speaker 4>I'm twenty twenty.

0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:29.039
<v Speaker 1>And then two years ago I had a kid like

0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:31.440
<v Speaker 1>put something in front of my face, but like real close,

0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:33.640
<v Speaker 1>like real close, and I did that thing where I

0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:36.280
<v Speaker 1>pushed my head away, like I can't see that so close,

0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:38.400
<v Speaker 1>And I thought, I'm old.

0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:45.800
<v Speaker 6>Here's the thing, Jessica, I love getting older. I don't

0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:47.440
<v Speaker 6>want to see things. I don't want to see the news.

0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:48.040
<v Speaker 6>I don't want to be old.

0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:50.280
<v Speaker 3>I love God a focus.

0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 6>I'm like, good, I don't have to do that. Great. Yeah,

0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:53.560
<v Speaker 6>it's freedom.

0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:56.760
<v Speaker 3>Whitney, you have a one year old?

0:01:57.360 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 6>I do?

0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:00.120
<v Speaker 3>Did he just turn one? As he Sagittarius?

0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:02.600
<v Speaker 6>Just turn out? My God. I of all the things

0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:04.559
<v Speaker 6>I have done in my life, I have worked so hard,

0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:07.120
<v Speaker 6>my greatest accomplishment is having a Sage baby.

0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:08.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm a Sage baby.

0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:10.680
<v Speaker 6>By the way, I have never had you're having a

0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:15.200
<v Speaker 6>Sage baby. I've never heard. No, I've never heard anyone

0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:17.240
<v Speaker 6>say like, you're having a Taurus baby, Like, what is

0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:18.600
<v Speaker 6>it with sage babies.

0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:22.840
<v Speaker 5>I first off, he's going to be amazing, obviously.

0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:25.239
<v Speaker 3>I know. I.

0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:28.160
<v Speaker 2>Actually he's gonna be really blunt. We're known for being

0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:31.760
<v Speaker 2>really blunt. He's gonna love to travel. But I was

0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:34.040
<v Speaker 2>a good kid. I think we're gonna I think sages

0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:36.080
<v Speaker 2>are good, solid, like grounded kids.

0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:38.560
<v Speaker 6>Do you believe in astrology? Like for real?

0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:42.760
<v Speaker 2>I did not used to, but I do now I do.

0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:44.480
<v Speaker 2>The more people I meet and I'm like, what are you?

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:48.120
<v Speaker 2>And now I see like the similarities in all the signs.

0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:49.919
<v Speaker 6>So yeah. I also feel like though when someone finds

0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:53.120
<v Speaker 6>out their sign, they do lean into that more. I'm like,

0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:56.280
<v Speaker 6>you know what I'm saying, they get more of a sage.

0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:57.639
<v Speaker 4>It's a confirmation bias.

0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.800
<v Speaker 6>Yes, you of course are going to make it sounds smart.

0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:05.040
<v Speaker 6>I'm kind of fascinated by like that astrology. If it's

0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:07.800
<v Speaker 6>the stars and the gravity wherever, fine, But I actually

0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:09.960
<v Speaker 6>think that there also could be another explanation, which is like,

0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:13.720
<v Speaker 6>are like the proximity of our birthdays to other holidays,

0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:15.880
<v Speaker 6>Like because when you're young, your birthday is the biggest deal,

0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:19.119
<v Speaker 6>you know, and the proximity to another holiday, like people

0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:22.079
<v Speaker 6>are like virgos, Like virgos are like they're all about

0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:24.200
<v Speaker 6>work and they're all about being organized. It's like, well,

0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:25.440
<v Speaker 6>my birthday was the first day of.

0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:27.720
<v Speaker 1>School, Like, so you're back to school, back to school.

0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:29.320
<v Speaker 6>So Virgos, you know what I mean. So it's like

0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:32.800
<v Speaker 6>and then Capricorn's like, you know, they're like, you know,

0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:34.600
<v Speaker 6>don't want a lot, they're insecure, they this and this,

0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:37.880
<v Speaker 6>but they come right after holiday year. No one's giving

0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:40.240
<v Speaker 6>them presents. Yeah, on January fifth.

0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:41.200
<v Speaker 4>This is a theory.

0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:43.360
<v Speaker 6>It's kind of interesting. I don't know. That's kind of

0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:45.360
<v Speaker 6>like to me, something that makes it work a little more,

0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:48.040
<v Speaker 6>and like, you know, anyway, I believe it.

0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:50.800
<v Speaker 2>I explain my leoness. I know, I was thinking, I

0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:53.400
<v Speaker 2>have a son who's Leo. Well you're you're you're in

0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:57.040
<v Speaker 2>summer vacation mode, so no wonder your loving life.

0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:01.560
<v Speaker 6>That's it, and no one comes to your party. They're

0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:04.000
<v Speaker 6>like your birthday party. Kids aren't in town. Everyone's out

0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:05.640
<v Speaker 6>of town, so you have to work extra hard and

0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:09.320
<v Speaker 6>like perform. Like from what I understand, Leos are like performers, like.

0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:12.080
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, charismatic, great with you know.

0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:14.400
<v Speaker 6>And I'm not saying I don't know what happened, you know,

0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:16.320
<v Speaker 6>but yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe something like that.

0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:18.680
<v Speaker 1>So let me ask you a question, just a hypothetical question.

0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:20.640
<v Speaker 1>So if I invite you to my birthday dinner on

0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:23.679
<v Speaker 1>August ninth, and you came to my birthday diner.

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:25.560
<v Speaker 4>Actually showing the date out so she gets to you

0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:25.960
<v Speaker 4>a gift.

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Go on, I'm just saying that if she came to

0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:31.600
<v Speaker 1>my birthday in August ninth, mm hmm, because we became

0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:33.600
<v Speaker 1>a really good friends between now in August ninth, because

0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:35.720
<v Speaker 1>that's when you'd be invited to my birthday dinner. And

0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:38.200
<v Speaker 1>let's just say that there was a tradition of going

0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:41.320
<v Speaker 1>around the table and each person had to say what

0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:42.440
<v Speaker 1>they loved about me the most.

0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:45.159
<v Speaker 4>Would that be weird to you? Or feel right on?

0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:47.720
<v Speaker 6>Are you the one initiating it? Or does something?

0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:50.960
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yes she is. Why does this matter?

0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:53.960
<v Speaker 6>If a Lee show was like, let's go around everyone

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:57.080
<v Speaker 6>and say what we love about Jesa. But if you

0:04:57.120 --> 0:04:58.680
<v Speaker 6>were like, hey, guys, guys, guys, let's all go around

0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:00.880
<v Speaker 6>and say what you love about it, that'd be a

0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:01.520
<v Speaker 6>little trick.

0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:03.800
<v Speaker 1>Great, Well, now I have a new I have a

0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:05.080
<v Speaker 1>new strategy for this year.

0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:08.320
<v Speaker 6>Here's the thing. Okay, I like a better do you

0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:11.919
<v Speaker 6>do that every year? I think the better way to

0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:14.159
<v Speaker 6>do it so that people aren't, you know, full of

0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:15.880
<v Speaker 6>shit is I'd have them write it down.

0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:20.320
<v Speaker 3>You have to come with a written note, no, you

0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:21.640
<v Speaker 3>like piece.

0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:23.600
<v Speaker 6>Of the paper and they write it down and then

0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:24.240
<v Speaker 6>or whatever.

0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:26.760
<v Speaker 4>All of this makes Camilla question her friendship with me.

0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:29.120
<v Speaker 4>I can't when I explained.

0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:31.520
<v Speaker 1>What I like out of a birthday and I actually

0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:32.760
<v Speaker 1>don't expect anything.

0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:35.320
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, hang on, let me just explain to Whitney.

0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:39.120
<v Speaker 2>She used to send people a gift registry list.

0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:40.000
<v Speaker 5>For her own birthday.

0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:41.200
<v Speaker 6>That's sick.

0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:44.680
<v Speaker 1>By the way, bud Way, thank you, thank you, I

0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:47.679
<v Speaker 1>mean thank you, but like, no, thank you next.

0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:50.160
<v Speaker 6>And I shouldn't be like this. I don't think i'd care. Now.

0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:52.760
<v Speaker 6>I got a friend of mine deb won't say her

0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:56.080
<v Speaker 6>last name for her wedding registry. I got her a

0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:57.560
<v Speaker 6>couple of things, and then friends of mine we all

0:05:57.600 --> 0:05:59.040
<v Speaker 6>were like, oh, let's all get her the plates and

0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:01.400
<v Speaker 6>the forks and you know, to together. Yeah. And then

0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:02.720
<v Speaker 6>I go to her house for dinner party and like,

0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:04.720
<v Speaker 6>I kind of expect like the plants to be you

0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:06.440
<v Speaker 6>know what I mean. You kind of want to see

0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:09.520
<v Speaker 6>your gift in action, you know. And I remember being like,

0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:11.279
<v Speaker 6>where are those plates? And she goes, oh, I returned

0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:16.120
<v Speaker 6>them off for a mattress. Oh she should be able

0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:17.960
<v Speaker 6>to do you just be able to do whatever you want.

0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:20.080
<v Speaker 6>But it was just kind of like, I like someone

0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:22.080
<v Speaker 6>just telling me what they want. I appreciate that, I

0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:24.360
<v Speaker 6>don't want to it gets you something you already.

0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:26.080
<v Speaker 3>Have or like fucking dish dub.

0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:28.760
<v Speaker 6>Also, sometimes when people give you presents that you didn't

0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:31.919
<v Speaker 6>specifically request, it can be very insulting, like I.

0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:36.520
<v Speaker 3>Agree, you know, it'll be like what kind of I'm interested?

0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:37.440
<v Speaker 4>What kind of birthday?

0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:37.600
<v Speaker 6>Mom?

0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:38.400
<v Speaker 5>Do you think you're going to be?

0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:40.600
<v Speaker 2>So he's getting bigger, are you going to do like

0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:44.320
<v Speaker 2>the Kardashian like the balloons, with the you know, with

0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:46.680
<v Speaker 2>the circus and the bask What.

0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:48.720
<v Speaker 4>Are you feeling is going to be your birthday mom?

0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:49.119
<v Speaker 1>Vibe?

0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:50.040
<v Speaker 3>Is that what they do?

0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:50.680
<v Speaker 6>Oh?

0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:53.440
<v Speaker 3>People here in La Yeah, of course no.

0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:56.600
<v Speaker 1>They go straight to the event planner and they make

0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:59.760
<v Speaker 1>sure that they have a bang in first, second, third,

0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:00.479
<v Speaker 1>all the.

0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:01.000
<v Speaker 4>Way on up.

0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:02.320
<v Speaker 2>But who's it for?

0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:05.760
<v Speaker 6>It for the attendees? Is it for the gram?

0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:09.080
<v Speaker 1>Is it really for the kid that's unknowns?

0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:09.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we don't know.

0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:11.600
<v Speaker 4>I think it's probably Cayse.

0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:14.080
<v Speaker 6>Specific right the photos to show the kid later?

0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, yeah yeah. I had one real banger and

0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:20.800
<v Speaker 1>it was Eve's fifth.

0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:24.680
<v Speaker 4>How banging was it so, like I said, I was.

0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:27.400
<v Speaker 1>Just reaching into the recesses of the memo.

0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:29.160
<v Speaker 4>So when you say, like was it for the kid?

0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:29.720
<v Speaker 6>Was it for you?

0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:33.200
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't big on Instagram and I don't. I'm not

0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:36.160
<v Speaker 1>big on Instagram for like super super personal stuff. I mean,

0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:37.960
<v Speaker 1>I think that there's a whole world to share, but

0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:41.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't. That's not been where I've done it. But

0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:42.360
<v Speaker 1>I think that I did.

0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:43.840
<v Speaker 4>When you just said that out loud, I think I

0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:45.720
<v Speaker 4>did enjoy by five.

0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:48.360
<v Speaker 3>No, they're there like yeah, but I think it.

0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:50.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean for sure. I mean I would say absolutely

0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:53.200
<v Speaker 1>it was for her, mostly because the entire thing was

0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:54.680
<v Speaker 1>all her favorite things.

0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:55.600
<v Speaker 4>But I done it.

0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:57.520
<v Speaker 2>But then I started because it is it all down?

0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:01.480
<v Speaker 2>Like once you set the bar like is six, if

0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:03.360
<v Speaker 2>you're not going to do it, is it then? Like well,

0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:04.200
<v Speaker 2>where's all the shit?

0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:04.880
<v Speaker 6>You mean?

0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:07.560
<v Speaker 4>Like what what does Eve want now? For like her fourteen?

0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:10.720
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't go Yes, That's the problem with kid's birthday

0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:13.760
<v Speaker 2>parties is like once you're once you're like going all out.

0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:16.880
<v Speaker 5>You kind of have to sustain it otherwise like where's

0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:18.440
<v Speaker 5>where's the balloon?

0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:22.120
<v Speaker 6>Or is it good to like prepare a kid for life?

0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:23.880
<v Speaker 6>Like I'm like, yeah, last year I made a lot

0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:25.400
<v Speaker 6>more money. We got to do that. This year we're

0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:25.720
<v Speaker 6>doing the.

0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:26.320
<v Speaker 4>Chuck e chee.

0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:31.080
<v Speaker 6>How life is? I feel like I'm so different than

0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:32.960
<v Speaker 6>every parent I talk to, or every parent maybe at

0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:35.280
<v Speaker 6>least in like California or something, because I come from

0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:37.920
<v Speaker 6>like the South, like white trash, hill billy shit, where

0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:40.520
<v Speaker 6>it's like you're not friends with your kid. You love

0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:42.839
<v Speaker 6>your kid more than anything, and like my job is

0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:45.599
<v Speaker 6>to protect you. It's not to like necessarily, you know,

0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:49.760
<v Speaker 6>be your homie. Like I'm fully you know, that's a

0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:53.040
<v Speaker 6>kind of small thing. I don't. I see people whose

0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:55.599
<v Speaker 6>kid calls them by their first name. I'm like, what

0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:58.040
<v Speaker 6>is happening? What I don't know?

0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:00.679
<v Speaker 3>It's wild. Oh they're like hey Kim. I'm like what

0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:01.920
<v Speaker 3>Like stuff like that.

0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:05.040
<v Speaker 6>I think for me, like if I've learned anything, maybe

0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:07.079
<v Speaker 6>this's just because I came from like thank you so much, sir.

0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:11.959
<v Speaker 6>I think because I came from such a raging alcoholics

0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:15.160
<v Speaker 6>like like and the energy, Like I didn't care about

0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:17.160
<v Speaker 6>the gifts or that anything, but like watching my mom

0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:19.560
<v Speaker 6>like stress out about like the day before Christmas wrapping

0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:20.839
<v Speaker 6>a bunch of stuff, and like we have to do

0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:23.080
<v Speaker 6>this because it's your birthday and just being like, oh god,

0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:26.400
<v Speaker 6>like I think that if you had fun planning that

0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:31.160
<v Speaker 6>amazing party, that's the best part. It's like I think that, like, yeah,

0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:33.679
<v Speaker 6>we're for our kid, Yes, you know I did.

0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:35.800
<v Speaker 4>I loved that birthday party.

0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:37.640
<v Speaker 6>I figured out a way if you go to a

0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:40.040
<v Speaker 6>kid's party and the mom's like the lady bugs aren't

0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:43.200
<v Speaker 6>here yet, and like that kind of like now now

0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:45.280
<v Speaker 6>you're just modeling for your kid that like a day

0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:48.719
<v Speaker 6>that's insanity should be stressful, you know. So to me,

0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:51.480
<v Speaker 6>like for the first birthday, I was really torn about

0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:53.959
<v Speaker 6>what exactly to do, and because I was like I

0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:57.040
<v Speaker 6>don't want to stress myself out and then not be present.

0:09:57.360 --> 0:09:59.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, well, here's what I can tell you, because

0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:02.160
<v Speaker 1>you're already this is going to be very simple. From

0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:05.559
<v Speaker 1>you know, the ghosts of future of future with my

0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:06.800
<v Speaker 1>older children.

0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:09.359
<v Speaker 4>Now you're just gonna maybe.

0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:11.920
<v Speaker 1>For your son this year for Christmas, like you know,

0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:14.599
<v Speaker 1>wrap like a par of sunglasses.

0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:18.160
<v Speaker 6>But also they're at the point where they like like

0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:19.760
<v Speaker 6>wrapping in the box.

0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:22.080
<v Speaker 3>Better than the thing that Yes, it's so true.

0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:24.680
<v Speaker 6>I can just wrap up a bunch of empty Amazon

0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:27.400
<v Speaker 6>boxes and he'll be happy, like to throw away and

0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:28.680
<v Speaker 6>just try to get the boxes, give.

0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:29.720
<v Speaker 3>Them a remote control.

0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:31.760
<v Speaker 5>And he's like, if you're give him the TV remote,

0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:32.040
<v Speaker 5>that's it.

0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:34.679
<v Speaker 6>That's exactly it, you know. So I kind of that's

0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:36.880
<v Speaker 6>the things that I'm kind of struggling with. Y'all can

0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:40.480
<v Speaker 6>probably you will have like perfect advice and clarity on

0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:46.839
<v Speaker 6>like the Santa Claus thing, like I have a and

0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:50.760
<v Speaker 6>maybe this is a comedian thing, but like I were,

0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:53.760
<v Speaker 6>I just and maybe this is just a perfectionism thing

0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:56.520
<v Speaker 6>of like I was lied to so much as a kid.

0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:59.640
<v Speaker 6>I'm like, do I say the tradition because I love Sanda,

0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:01.520
<v Speaker 6>I love I love all this stuff, but like Easter

0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:02.520
<v Speaker 6>Bunny Santa?

0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:04.880
<v Speaker 3>Well, did you like Santa as a kid?

0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:08.920
<v Speaker 6>No? I I had a very I was like, wait,

0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:10.680
<v Speaker 6>we're not supposed to tart to strangers, but one.

0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:13.280
<v Speaker 4>Is just sitting on the wrong Santa's lap many times.

0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:16.079
<v Speaker 6>I don't even get started off feeling. Do you know

0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:18.719
<v Speaker 6>that I found out you can google you can get

0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:20.839
<v Speaker 6>the criminal records of the Santas in your area.

0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:23.520
<v Speaker 5>My god, oh my god.

0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:24.480
<v Speaker 3>What website is this.

0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:26.760
<v Speaker 6>I'll send it to you. Someone just got it to

0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:29.080
<v Speaker 6>me today. I will get it to you today.

0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:31.079
<v Speaker 3>Don't they do some sort of wait, don't they do

0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:33.439
<v Speaker 3>some sort of like checking of that.

0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:35.679
<v Speaker 1>I think the mall you do.

0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:36.800
<v Speaker 4>I think they just go for it.

0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:40.800
<v Speaker 3>They're like, are you you've a beard? You're in Like,

0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:41.360
<v Speaker 3>it's fine.

0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:43.079
<v Speaker 4>I don't even think they need a beard.

0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:45.520
<v Speaker 6>No, they're like, oh, you just got fired from NAMBLA,

0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:46.240
<v Speaker 6>come work here.

0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:47.480
<v Speaker 3>Whatever it is.

0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:50.439
<v Speaker 6>I just I get I struggle a little bit with

0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:52.160
<v Speaker 6>that because I also want to be the parent. It's like,

0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:54.000
<v Speaker 6>I'm not going to do this tradition that everyone else does.

0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:56.480
<v Speaker 6>And then the kid is like not able to you know,

0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:59.559
<v Speaker 6>fit in or feel a part of something. But I

0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:02.559
<v Speaker 6>I thought it was fishy. I didn't like it as

0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:02.880
<v Speaker 6>a kid.

0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:07.160
<v Speaker 2>I love Santa's big in our house, we're like full

0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:09.040
<v Speaker 2>sand I've like still believe.

0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:11.400
<v Speaker 3>I was gonna say, you're I'm.

0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:13.160
<v Speaker 1>Not sure you're talking to the right person because I've

0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:16.880
<v Speaker 1>questioned our lying to children before and she's like, what lie?

0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:18.319
<v Speaker 5>But do you just does it?

0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:19.920
<v Speaker 6>Just go? Because I think I'm also doing the thing

0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:21.480
<v Speaker 6>where like my kid's not going to see a screen

0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:23.719
<v Speaker 6>until they're fifteen. A couple of weeks and you're like

0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:24.920
<v Speaker 6>it might be.

0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:28.400
<v Speaker 4>A little of that. I'm just still in the like yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:28.839
<v Speaker 4>there you go.

0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:33.160
<v Speaker 2>I think that it's so magical for them and I

0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:35.440
<v Speaker 2>have really good memories and it's so magical for them,

0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:36.720
<v Speaker 2>and they're so excited.

0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:39.439
<v Speaker 6>Yeah yeah, I'm I'm really worried. There's a lot of things.

0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:41.400
<v Speaker 6>I'm just like, I guess I'm gonna trust my instincts

0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:43.599
<v Speaker 6>and get there when I get there, you know. And

0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:46.600
<v Speaker 6>I think that's been the biggest Like God, as soon

0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:48.679
<v Speaker 6>as you become a mom, you start saying journey, like

0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:51.160
<v Speaker 6>the biggest part of this whole, Like, journey is like

0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:54.559
<v Speaker 6>feedback you get online or whatever it is, you know,

0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:57.199
<v Speaker 6>people like, oh mom, Instagram is like brutal and like,

0:12:57.520 --> 0:12:59.120
<v Speaker 6>you know me, I was like, you know, I went

0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:02.600
<v Speaker 6>and so I posted a photo of me going into labor.

0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:04.920
<v Speaker 6>I induced a week early. I really wanted to do

0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:08.319
<v Speaker 6>it vaginally sea sectioned. I was so close to having

0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:10.360
<v Speaker 6>a sea section. If I do it again, I'll probably

0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:12.719
<v Speaker 6>just schedule it like nothing. I just really want to

0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:14.280
<v Speaker 6>try it that way. And I wanted to be able

0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:17.040
<v Speaker 6>to get pregnant faster if I wanted to have another whatever,

0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:21.679
<v Speaker 6>And so I like posted that and I got your

0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:26.000
<v Speaker 6>sea section shaming you induced patas, and at first I

0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:29.079
<v Speaker 6>was like, oh god, I should, but then I was like,

0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:33.000
<v Speaker 6>you know what, this is awesome, Like these people they care,

0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:35.960
<v Speaker 6>Like these people care about this baby they've never met.

0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:38.800
<v Speaker 6>Like this is when women like you know. I mean,

0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:41.760
<v Speaker 6>I was obviously super sensitive because you're, you know, eating

0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:44.599
<v Speaker 6>postpartum depression and you're so emotional, and I'm like, just

0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:47.520
<v Speaker 6>got cut two inches, I'm the healing from a surgery whatever.

0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:49.600
<v Speaker 6>But I think that like for me, it's been really

0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:53.280
<v Speaker 6>important to just be able to like take wisdom and

0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:56.000
<v Speaker 6>not take it personally, like there's a lot I don't

0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:58.000
<v Speaker 6>know and like, and also how to like take what

0:13:58.120 --> 0:13:59.559
<v Speaker 6>you like and leave the rest. I've also gotten the

0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:02.120
<v Speaker 6>most amazing advice from Instagram that I never would have

0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:04.000
<v Speaker 6>thought of. Like people were like, make sure to put

0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:07.240
<v Speaker 6>coconut oil or aqua four on your baby's butthole as

0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:08.959
<v Speaker 6>soon as they come out because the first poop is

0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:11.680
<v Speaker 6>really sticky. I'm like, yeah, like thank you. I really

0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:13.880
<v Speaker 6>need to hear that, you know. So, I've sometimes gotten

0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:15.880
<v Speaker 6>better advice from like women on TikTok or like an

0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:19.000
<v Speaker 6>Instagram comments than doctor. You know. So I think that

0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:20.840
<v Speaker 6>For me, it's just all about going like okay, okay,

0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:22.200
<v Speaker 6>like nobody's wrong.

0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:24.840
<v Speaker 3>You know, it's knowing when to shut it off too.

0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:27.080
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, knowing like that might work. If you want a

0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:31.200
<v Speaker 6>breastfeeda well he's twelve, that's your progative, that's your journey.

0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:31.960
<v Speaker 3>Three months.

0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:34.160
<v Speaker 4>I did as much as I could, you know, like,

0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:36.520
<v Speaker 4>yeah I was a three month or two.

0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:38.040
<v Speaker 5>I was a three months as much as I.

0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:40.560
<v Speaker 6>Could, Like you know, when you tell yourself, like there's

0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:43.280
<v Speaker 6>also a lot of literature that like microplastics are in

0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:45.520
<v Speaker 6>breast milk now, so like oh, like it's just kind

0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:47.920
<v Speaker 6>of figure out what works for you and what helps

0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:49.080
<v Speaker 6>you be able to sleep in night, because I think

0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:53.120
<v Speaker 6>being calm around your child and you know, is thing

0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:56.240
<v Speaker 6>for them. At this point, I was formula fed Similac

0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:58.600
<v Speaker 6>like forty years ago. There's pictures of me and drawers.

0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:01.680
<v Speaker 4>I slept in a drawer. Yeah, I'm from Missouri.

0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:03.200
<v Speaker 6>They're fine, the kids.

0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:06.240
<v Speaker 2>I was given tea because I'm from England, Whitney, even

0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:08.240
<v Speaker 2>though I've lost my accent, and I have pictures of

0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:13.120
<v Speaker 2>me drinking a bottle tea with milk caffeinated at like one.

0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:15.680
<v Speaker 1>Well, and also what was the what did grandma give

0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:17.800
<v Speaker 1>you whiskey? Just give me a little whiskey now and

0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:33.920
<v Speaker 1>then ski. Well, so you're ahead of it, you already

0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:34.680
<v Speaker 1>know all the things.

0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:37.200
<v Speaker 6>No, no, I'm his latest. You know, I have no

0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:38.800
<v Speaker 6>idea what I'm doing, you know. But I think also

0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:40.000
<v Speaker 6>like you know, but.

0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:41.920
<v Speaker 1>You're curious, and I think that that's the thing. I

0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:44.720
<v Speaker 1>think that been parenting. I think whether it's when they're

0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:47.560
<v Speaker 1>pre verbal or when they're giving you a real run

0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:50.000
<v Speaker 1>for your money, because wow, that whole like little kids,

0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:53.400
<v Speaker 1>little problems, big kids, big problems. That's true, and I

0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:56.200
<v Speaker 1>think I actually, speaking of comedians.

0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:58.480
<v Speaker 3>I was wait, little kids, little problems.

0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:02.120
<v Speaker 4>Big kids? Just say that? Why because I'm.

0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:05.800
<v Speaker 3>Seriously because the problems feel so big because.

0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:07.840
<v Speaker 2>She wants to think this is the hard part. I'm

0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:10.360
<v Speaker 2>a four and a six year seven year old. Those

0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:10.880
<v Speaker 2>are small.

0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:12.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna lose my goddamn mind.

0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:16.080
<v Speaker 6>I think though they say like ten years is when

0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:17.160
<v Speaker 6>you have the most impact.

0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:20.200
<v Speaker 7>After that, thank God, because I'm gonna be mad because

0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:24.680
<v Speaker 7>you know, it's pre adolescence because neurobiologically is when they're

0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:27.520
<v Speaker 7>then needing to be okay on their own, because if

0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:28.440
<v Speaker 7>they're not okay, on their own.

0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:31.520
<v Speaker 4>What's gonna happen then? Right, So you've got until then and.

0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:34.200
<v Speaker 6>They love and they have to start. I is called

0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:39.680
<v Speaker 6>identity differentiation, individuation, individuation. And I don't mean to name drop,

0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:42.400
<v Speaker 6>but I was on a going somewhere for like a

0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:45.840
<v Speaker 6>work thing, and Mark Wahlberg's wife was there and she

0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:49.520
<v Speaker 6>was all, my friends with girls are just in dogfights.

0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:51.600
<v Speaker 6>I don't know. I don't know how you do it.

0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:53.640
<v Speaker 6>I would never want to be in a fright now.

0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:55.400
<v Speaker 1>It's going well for me, but I mean, who knows

0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:56.600
<v Speaker 1>what I'll have? What's in store for me?

0:16:57.080 --> 0:17:00.680
<v Speaker 6>Totally? And I and she, you know, they just want

0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:03.760
<v Speaker 6>the opposite of whatever you have. So she like has

0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:06.840
<v Speaker 6>the Chanel purse, and so her daughter wants thrift store stuff.

0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:09.040
<v Speaker 6>It's like, oh, brands are like they just want to get.

0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:11.919
<v Speaker 6>If she didn't have something fancy, that's a.

0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:13.720
<v Speaker 3>Good problem to have, she'd want the Chanel.

0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:14.639
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, exactly.

0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:16.320
<v Speaker 6>But if you don't have, you want the Chanelle. I

0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:17.720
<v Speaker 6>don't want the thrift store about you know, they just

0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:20.480
<v Speaker 6>want the opposite. There's something that about like the biological

0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:22.920
<v Speaker 6>basis for it being so that predators can differentiate you

0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:26.520
<v Speaker 6>like there's like a deep biological basis for it. It's

0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:28.119
<v Speaker 6>really kind of fat. I believe. There's a book that

0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:30.119
<v Speaker 6>has a very creepy title, it's called The Wonder of

0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:32.840
<v Speaker 6>Girls that uh has all of this literature in it.

0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:35.520
<v Speaker 6>But the books that I read Hunt gathered parent was

0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:38.560
<v Speaker 6>really helpful about just like letting him explore and figure

0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:41.240
<v Speaker 6>it out themselves and only interfere when like real danger,

0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:43.600
<v Speaker 6>you know, is around. It's really helpful for me.

0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:46.200
<v Speaker 3>You know, that was hot. That's hard for me.

0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:49.200
<v Speaker 5>I'm not a good I'm a I'm a helicopter.

0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:52.359
<v Speaker 6>Why do you think in England you have such good

0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:53.480
<v Speaker 6>healthcare you don't even have to.

0:17:55.040 --> 0:17:57.200
<v Speaker 3>Well, I have, like I mean, I have trauma.

0:17:57.280 --> 0:17:59.159
<v Speaker 2>My mom passed when I was younger, and so I

0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:01.840
<v Speaker 2>and she very suddenly and so a lot of my

0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:05.879
<v Speaker 2>my own shit comes from like anything can happen at

0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:08.120
<v Speaker 2>any moment, and I'm getting over that. So in order

0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:11.040
<v Speaker 2>for me to control the situation, you know, I got

0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:13.359
<v Speaker 2>to be there. So it's like, yeah, they can go

0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:15.639
<v Speaker 2>crawl over there, but there's gonna be glass and you

0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:17.080
<v Speaker 2>won't see it, but I'll see it because you know,

0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:20.680
<v Speaker 2>so I'm I have had to I'm way better, God

0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:21.359
<v Speaker 2>bless soul of.

0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:24.080
<v Speaker 3>Way way way better with that.

0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:27.879
<v Speaker 4>But in the early days, it was so hard for me.

0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:30.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, for me, it's like a baby with a cold

0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:35.280
<v Speaker 2>would have like sent me like, I you know, house doctor, er,

0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:36.480
<v Speaker 2>what do I need to do?

0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:40.120
<v Speaker 6>Sure? Sure? Sure? I mean you know for me, I'm

0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:42.800
<v Speaker 6>you know. I read a while back in Tina Fe

0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:44.520
<v Speaker 6>had that book called I think it was in her

0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:46.760
<v Speaker 6>book bossy Pants. It might have been an article. You know,

0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:50.159
<v Speaker 6>she has that scar, and she talked about it right

0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:51.800
<v Speaker 6>like saying a secret.

0:18:51.920 --> 0:18:53.399
<v Speaker 1>But what happened?

0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:55.320
<v Speaker 6>I mean, you know the story is there's some meth head.

0:18:55.440 --> 0:18:58.520
<v Speaker 6>Just don't When she was five playing outside, a meth

0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:00.960
<v Speaker 6>had just ran up to her and her in the face.

0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:02.400
<v Speaker 4>Did you know that story?

0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Just wow?

0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:06.440
<v Speaker 6>A child? Oh my god, I'll cry. I think about it.

0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:09.359
<v Speaker 6>A child just playing and then ran off like just

0:19:09.440 --> 0:19:11.040
<v Speaker 6>some crazy drug addict. She says she thought it was

0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:13.159
<v Speaker 6>like a pen and she didn't know what was happening,

0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:15.360
<v Speaker 6>And her therapist said to her, like, when your daughter

0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:17.840
<v Speaker 6>turns five, the age that that happened, you might just

0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:20.560
<v Speaker 6>lose your mind, you know, like kind of like our

0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:23.639
<v Speaker 6>bodies are so smart, they just know yeah, I've never

0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:25.600
<v Speaker 6>talked about it because like, who cares. Everyone's had shit,

0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:27.920
<v Speaker 6>you know. But when I was a year old, i

0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:32.600
<v Speaker 6>ate a quaylude from my dad was like a you know,

0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:36.159
<v Speaker 6>cheating on my mom. And it was at some you know,

0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:38.840
<v Speaker 6>and I went to the hospital and almost died and

0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:42.160
<v Speaker 6>came in all and so just as he's turned one,

0:19:42.359 --> 0:19:45.600
<v Speaker 6>I'm like, I'm just gravel in this and that I'm

0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:48.359
<v Speaker 6>actually like, I'm not beating myself up over it. There

0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:50.159
<v Speaker 6>have been many times I'll look over and he's just

0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:52.520
<v Speaker 6>like about to put a piece of gravel in his mouth,

0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:55.080
<v Speaker 6>and I'm like and I'm like, yes, I try to

0:19:55.119 --> 0:19:57.920
<v Speaker 6>look at neurosi's more as superpowers. I think our body

0:19:57.960 --> 0:20:01.040
<v Speaker 6>is smart. They know what to do all these things

0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:04.560
<v Speaker 6>that men call us crazy, hypervigil and erotic obsessedment, Like

0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:06.240
<v Speaker 6>it all comes in handy. As soon as you have

0:20:06.320 --> 0:20:09.120
<v Speaker 6>a kid, and like you saved their life a few

0:20:09.160 --> 0:20:11.960
<v Speaker 6>times a day, You're like, why don't you call me

0:20:12.000 --> 0:20:12.280
<v Speaker 6>a hero?

0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:14.320
<v Speaker 2>I think that's what's hard too, is like the kids

0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:16.920
<v Speaker 2>prove that they need saving all the time. They would

0:20:16.960 --> 0:20:17.600
<v Speaker 2>eat the gravel.

0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:19.840
<v Speaker 6>Only the anxious survive, you know. And I think it's

0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:22.879
<v Speaker 6>just a matter of you know, and I and I

0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:24.720
<v Speaker 6>think that, yeah, it's our job to be anxious so

0:20:24.760 --> 0:20:26.040
<v Speaker 6>that they don't have to be, you know. So I

0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:28.280
<v Speaker 6>think that like forgiving ourselves is like a real big one.

0:20:28.320 --> 0:20:30.680
<v Speaker 6>But it's been so like healing and cool to like

0:20:30.800 --> 0:20:33.600
<v Speaker 6>not only be able to have awesome connections with women, like,

0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:35.560
<v Speaker 6>you know, I think that being in a job that's

0:20:35.560 --> 0:20:38.320
<v Speaker 6>really male dominated, there was always this scarcity complex and

0:20:38.359 --> 0:20:40.879
<v Speaker 6>I was always like, yeah, can we can we be friends?

0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:43.119
<v Speaker 6>Even though like I feel like it's always like me

0:20:43.280 --> 0:20:45.399
<v Speaker 6>or you you know, Yeah, I was back in the

0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:47.399
<v Speaker 6>day with women there's like one woman on a lineup,

0:20:47.440 --> 0:20:49.200
<v Speaker 6>so it's like if you came around, you were taking

0:20:49.240 --> 0:20:51.639
<v Speaker 6>someone else's job, like you actually were, you know. And

0:20:51.800 --> 0:20:53.760
<v Speaker 6>so now it's been so cool to be able to

0:20:53.840 --> 0:20:55.760
<v Speaker 6>just like connect with women that will just DM me

0:20:55.840 --> 0:20:57.320
<v Speaker 6>on Instagram or come up to me in a grocery

0:20:57.320 --> 0:20:58.600
<v Speaker 6>store and I'm like, can I have your number? Like

0:20:58.680 --> 0:21:01.560
<v Speaker 6>do you want to? You know, it's just so cool.

0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:04.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, no, it's it's definitely that the movement. The movement worked.

0:21:04.320 --> 0:21:05.760
<v Speaker 4>I don't know who started, but the cool to be

0:21:05.880 --> 0:21:08.040
<v Speaker 4>kind thing has worked. It's funny.

0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:11.320
<v Speaker 1>I I always ended up working with a lot of women.

0:21:11.480 --> 0:21:13.160
<v Speaker 1>But now that you were talking and I was thinking

0:21:13.160 --> 0:21:15.360
<v Speaker 1>about and I was, I would have modified or from

0:21:15.400 --> 0:21:18.639
<v Speaker 1>my experience, it was like the modification of like there's

0:21:18.840 --> 0:21:22.480
<v Speaker 1>there's only room for like one hot girl characters. There's

0:21:22.520 --> 0:21:25.280
<v Speaker 1>only a room for one funny girl character.

0:21:25.840 --> 0:21:27.040
<v Speaker 4>Like they wanted everybody to.

0:21:27.080 --> 0:21:29.720
<v Speaker 1>Be one thing on some kind of angular in some

0:21:29.880 --> 0:21:33.440
<v Speaker 1>kind of angular way, so that whatever you were, most

0:21:33.560 --> 0:21:35.560
<v Speaker 1>likely because the grass is green, aro on their'side the fence,

0:21:35.560 --> 0:21:36.879
<v Speaker 1>if you were the funny one, You're like, I want

0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:40.199
<v Speaker 1>to be the hot one, always, always one.

0:21:40.240 --> 0:21:41.760
<v Speaker 4>You're like, I wish I was a funny one.

0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:43.720
<v Speaker 3>Never forget the first time I ever.

0:21:43.720 --> 0:21:44.560
<v Speaker 4>Got like my dream.

0:21:44.960 --> 0:21:47.199
<v Speaker 1>This will segue nicely into what I would really love

0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:49.800
<v Speaker 1>to hear about from you. All I ever wanted when

0:21:49.840 --> 0:21:52.000
<v Speaker 1>I was starting out and I moved out to Los

0:21:52.000 --> 0:21:55.359
<v Speaker 1>Angeles and started acting was to be on a half

0:21:55.440 --> 0:21:58.480
<v Speaker 1>hour comedy. That's all I wanted. And I wanted like

0:21:58.600 --> 0:22:01.959
<v Speaker 1>the real like situation, like not like that you hear

0:22:02.000 --> 0:22:03.240
<v Speaker 1>the laugh track, but you actually hear.

0:22:03.720 --> 0:22:03.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:22:03.960 --> 0:22:06.760
<v Speaker 4>I wanted that, Like I just wanted to be Jennifer Aniston.

0:22:06.840 --> 0:22:08.040
<v Speaker 1>That's what I wanted. I wanted to be the next

0:22:08.119 --> 0:22:10.200
<v Speaker 1>Jennifer Instant. And so I tried and tried and tried,

0:22:10.240 --> 0:22:12.119
<v Speaker 1>and I did pilot after pilot that didn't get picked up,

0:22:12.200 --> 0:22:14.320
<v Speaker 1>and then I ended up landing myself on a drama,

0:22:14.480 --> 0:22:17.400
<v Speaker 1>and then it was like that drama then maybe one

0:22:17.400 --> 0:22:20.960
<v Speaker 1>little comedy in between, had been back to another.

0:22:20.800 --> 0:22:22.480
<v Speaker 6>Drama drama, I mean the only one.

0:22:22.560 --> 0:22:27.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, right exactly, but I remember again, all I

0:22:27.160 --> 0:22:29.680
<v Speaker 1>wanted was to be like at the epicenter of some

0:22:29.880 --> 0:22:34.080
<v Speaker 1>incredibly funny, witty, awesome half hour. And so finally I

0:22:34.200 --> 0:22:36.680
<v Speaker 1>find myself. I'd been doing that play in New York,

0:22:36.760 --> 0:22:38.560
<v Speaker 1>and I had gone up to thirty Rock to audition

0:22:38.800 --> 0:22:43.000
<v Speaker 1>for a new NBC half hour, and and I get

0:22:43.040 --> 0:22:46.199
<v Speaker 1>picked to network test. I finish my play, I fly

0:22:46.280 --> 0:22:48.160

0:22:51.960 --> 0:22:56.439

0:22:56.480 --> 0:22:59.760
<v Speaker 1>auditioned for the same stuff. Yeah, maybe, Well, the funny

0:22:59.800 --> 0:23:02.560
<v Speaker 1>part of that one actually was that was that Kate

0:23:02.640 --> 0:23:05.119
<v Speaker 1>Walsh was in the waiting room when I auditioned for that.

0:23:05.240 --> 0:23:06.840

0:23:09.680 --> 0:23:11.239
<v Speaker 1>and I'm number one on the call sheet and all

0:23:11.320 --> 0:23:12.200
<v Speaker 1>my dreams.

0:23:11.880 --> 0:23:16.720
<v Speaker 4>Are coming true. I didn't get any of the funny lines.

0:23:17.400 --> 0:23:19.720
<v Speaker 6>Not one. Well, that's the thing is, if you're the star,

0:23:20.200 --> 0:23:22.159
<v Speaker 6>everyone's funny round you. If you want to be the

0:23:22.160 --> 0:23:24.200
<v Speaker 6>funny friend, you want to be second, third, or fourth

0:23:24.280 --> 0:23:25.000
<v Speaker 6>on the call sheet.

0:23:25.520 --> 0:23:27.280
<v Speaker 4>Everyone else was funny.

0:23:27.680 --> 0:23:29.040
<v Speaker 6>You're the straight that sucks.

0:23:29.800 --> 0:23:31.480
<v Speaker 4>I was there to deliver the chicken platter.

0:23:31.560 --> 0:23:33.399
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, no, you're the exposition person.

0:23:33.680 --> 0:23:33.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:23:33.880 --> 0:23:36.040
<v Speaker 6>I told the story, and then everyone divorced a couple

0:23:36.080 --> 0:23:37.520
<v Speaker 6>of years ago, like, you're that person.

0:23:37.640 --> 0:23:39.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, exactly, Lee, I t up the joke. But Martin

0:23:39.960 --> 0:23:42.200
<v Speaker 1>Bull played my dad, and Sharon Glass played my mom.

0:23:42.520 --> 0:23:45.679
<v Speaker 1>Chris Parnell was in it, and then my sister had

0:23:45.840 --> 0:23:49.520
<v Speaker 1>all the laughs. And then we had this tiny little

0:23:50.119 --> 0:23:52.920
<v Speaker 1>like Chris Parnell said, a friend of mine, you know,

0:23:53.040 --> 0:23:55.600
<v Speaker 1>she's from I can't remember if it was Groundlings or

0:23:55.880 --> 0:23:58.400
<v Speaker 1>Second City, but a friend of mine. She's just out

0:23:58.440 --> 0:24:00.359
<v Speaker 1>here in LA and she's really trying really hard, and like,

0:24:00.440 --> 0:24:01.760
<v Speaker 1>do you think we could give her a little part?

0:24:01.920 --> 0:24:04.040
<v Speaker 1>And everybody was like, yeah, of course, of course, of course.

0:24:04.280 --> 0:24:06.480
<v Speaker 1>So she played like a model booker, and she literally

0:24:06.520 --> 0:24:09.359
<v Speaker 1>her line was like next or something like that, and

0:24:09.480 --> 0:24:13.639
<v Speaker 1>it was Kristen Wig who wow yeah, And then she

0:24:13.840 --> 0:24:16.080
<v Speaker 1>went that that it must have been like the season

0:24:16.119 --> 0:24:17.680
<v Speaker 1>for her to then go to New York where she

0:24:17.760 --> 0:24:19.520
<v Speaker 1>then started and she got a regular.

0:24:20.320 --> 0:24:22.040
<v Speaker 4>She became a series regular and she started and I.

0:24:22.080 --> 0:24:24.639
<v Speaker 1>Remember watching that season and being like I think.

0:24:24.600 --> 0:24:28.199
<v Speaker 3>That girls, yeah, yeah, yeah wild.

0:24:28.560 --> 0:24:31.040
<v Speaker 1>Meanwhile, we got canceled after six of the twelve episodes.

0:24:31.040 --> 0:24:32.760
<v Speaker 4>We were supposed to make Good times.

0:24:46.240 --> 0:24:48.359
<v Speaker 1>Well, you'd have no secrets to keep on fast friends,

0:24:48.440 --> 0:24:50.280
<v Speaker 1>but but tell us what you'd tell us what it is,

0:24:50.359 --> 0:24:52.040
<v Speaker 1>tell us what you're doing, what's happening.

0:24:52.160 --> 0:24:54.760
<v Speaker 6>Well, look, I mean, you know, once you I don't

0:24:54.840 --> 0:24:56.680
<v Speaker 6>have to tell you have kids, You're kind of like,

0:24:56.880 --> 0:24:59.080
<v Speaker 6>I guess I need to make something my son can

0:24:59.160 --> 0:25:02.159
<v Speaker 6>watch a bit. Yes, I feel that strongly, like I

0:25:02.280 --> 0:25:04.480
<v Speaker 6>gotta get all this stuff offline, Like I've worked so

0:25:04.600 --> 0:25:07.040
<v Speaker 6>hard to do like six stand up specials and about

0:25:07.040 --> 0:25:08.480
<v Speaker 6>to do my seventh, and you're like, oh god, I

0:25:08.520 --> 0:25:10.960
<v Speaker 6>really want people to watch this until my son's able

0:25:11.000 --> 0:25:13.480
<v Speaker 6>to watch it. And uh, And you know, I was

0:25:13.520 --> 0:25:15.280
<v Speaker 6>just really in a place where like I had you know,

0:25:15.440 --> 0:25:19.600
<v Speaker 6>got sober. Both my parents had passed away kind of

0:25:19.720 --> 0:25:22.800
<v Speaker 6>just like awfully and uh. And then I was pregnant

0:25:23.040 --> 0:25:26.320
<v Speaker 6>and just finally got some time to think, honestly, like

0:25:26.440 --> 0:25:29.920
<v Speaker 6>I've really struggled with workoholism and you know, the busy

0:25:29.960 --> 0:25:33.439
<v Speaker 6>addiction of just like you know, keeping busy at all

0:25:33.520 --> 0:25:35.400
<v Speaker 6>costs and not have to be alone with my own

0:25:35.480 --> 0:25:39.120
<v Speaker 6>thoughts or in a while unrecovered codependence of like okay,

0:25:39.160 --> 0:25:41.280
<v Speaker 6>let me just like fix everyone around me and like

0:25:41.680 --> 0:25:45.680
<v Speaker 6>be everyone, you know, mother, micromanage martyr, myself everywhere. And

0:25:46.760 --> 0:25:48.560
<v Speaker 6>and then I had some time alone with myself and

0:25:48.600 --> 0:25:50.280
<v Speaker 6>I was like, you know, I really and I was,

0:25:50.359 --> 0:25:53.200
<v Speaker 6>you know, working on shows and which I'm still there's

0:25:53.240 --> 0:25:54.719
<v Speaker 6>a couple of TV things I'm gonna do next year.

0:25:54.720 --> 0:25:57.560
<v Speaker 6>But at the time TV, I was like, I feel

0:25:57.640 --> 0:26:01.160
<v Speaker 6>like comedy stop being funny. That doesn't mean they're not good,

0:26:01.760 --> 0:26:04.400
<v Speaker 6>like the Barren Baby Reindeer are amazing, but like I'm

0:26:04.480 --> 0:26:07.760
<v Speaker 6>not like laughing out laugh, you know. And then entertainment

0:26:07.880 --> 0:26:11.399
<v Speaker 6>kind of stopped being entertaining. It started being freachy and

0:26:11.640 --> 0:26:15.720
<v Speaker 6>lectury and not all of it obviously, but there was

0:26:15.800 --> 0:26:19.879
<v Speaker 6>like agendas behind everything, and you know, which is again fine,

0:26:20.720 --> 0:26:22.600
<v Speaker 6>you know, but I was like, can we just like

0:26:22.680 --> 0:26:25.280
<v Speaker 6>make people laugh? Like, why are we lecturing people how

0:26:25.280 --> 0:26:27.639
<v Speaker 6>to vote? Like, I don't, why are we? Why did

0:26:27.680 --> 0:26:30.000
<v Speaker 6>I leave this movie? And now I feel bad about

0:26:30.080 --> 0:26:33.320
<v Speaker 6>climate change? Like I feel like just like there's not

0:26:33.440 --> 0:26:36.239
<v Speaker 6>that much entertainment where there's just like we're gonna make

0:26:36.280 --> 0:26:38.080
<v Speaker 6>you laugh, that's all we're gonna do. We're not going

0:26:38.160 --> 0:26:39.280
<v Speaker 6>to tell you how to vote. We're not going to

0:26:39.400 --> 0:26:41.399
<v Speaker 6>lecture you on anything. And you know, I really want

0:26:41.440 --> 0:26:43.000
<v Speaker 6>to be a part of something that brought people together

0:26:43.040 --> 0:26:44.880
<v Speaker 6>instead of divided them. Where you know, I think most

0:26:44.920 --> 0:26:47.680
<v Speaker 6>things like they want you know, you to you watch

0:26:47.720 --> 0:26:49.359
<v Speaker 6>a show and then you end it with like that's

0:26:49.400 --> 0:26:50.760
<v Speaker 6>not what I thought. Oh that's what you sa Oh

0:26:50.800 --> 0:26:52.960
<v Speaker 6>you think? You know? There was just so much everything

0:26:53.520 --> 0:26:56.399
<v Speaker 6>vis of of course, it's like simplify it. The election happened,

0:26:56.440 --> 0:26:58.119
<v Speaker 6>of course. I just wanted to make something that like

0:26:58.600 --> 0:27:00.800
<v Speaker 6>three generations of people could sit down and all watch

0:27:00.920 --> 0:27:04.480
<v Speaker 6>together and not be a like drama. And so to me,

0:27:04.560 --> 0:27:05.960
<v Speaker 6>I was like, Okay, I feel like nobody agrees on

0:27:06.000 --> 0:27:07.600
<v Speaker 6>anything anymore. I think the one thing we can all

0:27:07.600 --> 0:27:09.240
<v Speaker 6>agree on is that like Friends was a good show.

0:27:10.040 --> 0:27:12.200
<v Speaker 6>So they just came to me kind of randomly and

0:27:13.160 --> 0:27:16.720
<v Speaker 6>you know, and asked me, and instead of overthinking it,

0:27:16.760 --> 0:27:18.320
<v Speaker 6>I don't have to tell you, Jessica, Like there is

0:27:18.359 --> 0:27:21.040
<v Speaker 6>a time where like if you wanted to act, you

0:27:21.119 --> 0:27:25.520
<v Speaker 6>could not host. If you hosted, it was over, you know,

0:27:26.000 --> 0:27:28.560
<v Speaker 6>and you couldn't do anything fun. Like they came to

0:27:28.640 --> 0:27:29.840
<v Speaker 6>me for like Dancing with the Stars. I was like,

0:27:29.920 --> 0:27:31.879
<v Speaker 6>that sounds so fun and they're like no, no, no,

0:27:32.040 --> 0:27:34.040
<v Speaker 6>you can't do that, or like it's over and you're

0:27:34.119 --> 0:27:37.840
<v Speaker 6>like okay. So there were all these rules before and

0:27:37.920 --> 0:27:39.720
<v Speaker 6>then now it's like we're all just Nick Cannon. We

0:27:39.760 --> 0:27:43.120
<v Speaker 6>can all just do anything. You know, was something banks hosting,

0:27:43.240 --> 0:27:45.360
<v Speaker 6>like match game or something else.

0:27:46.119 --> 0:27:49.480
<v Speaker 2>Let's go, Like I agree, and I'm glad by the way,

0:27:49.520 --> 0:27:51.960
<v Speaker 2>because I feel like we are multi hyphen it and

0:27:52.040 --> 0:27:53.520
<v Speaker 2>we can do all the things, So let us fucking

0:27:53.600 --> 0:27:53.800
<v Speaker 2>do it.

0:27:54.680 --> 0:27:56.639
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, let us do it without it being a block

0:27:56.720 --> 0:27:57.400
<v Speaker 5>to something else.

0:27:57.840 --> 0:27:59.800
<v Speaker 6>It didn't occur to me also that things could be

0:28:01.520 --> 0:28:06.240
<v Speaker 6>fun and good. I always thought these hard and ping

0:28:06.560 --> 0:28:09.320
<v Speaker 6>and painful in order for them to be good. And

0:28:09.560 --> 0:28:11.879
<v Speaker 6>I had this sort of like come to you know,

0:28:12.040 --> 0:28:14.840
<v Speaker 6>Jesus moment where I was like wait a second, Like,

0:28:15.160 --> 0:28:20.359
<v Speaker 6>especially with getting some mental health help, I always felt like, oh,

0:28:20.440 --> 0:28:24.000
<v Speaker 6>I won't be as funny, you know, interesting, I'm not broken.

0:28:24.240 --> 0:28:27.040
<v Speaker 6>I won't be as funny if I'm happy and in

0:28:27.200 --> 0:28:29.200
<v Speaker 6>love and in a good relationship, you know. And so

0:28:29.280 --> 0:28:30.399
<v Speaker 6>I also was like, oh, this won't be.

0:28:30.400 --> 0:28:31.400
<v Speaker 4>Because it's the material.

0:28:32.280 --> 0:28:35.119
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's the fuel, right on some level, because

0:28:35.160 --> 0:28:37.760
<v Speaker 1>it's this, it's it's what you have, which is this

0:28:37.960 --> 0:28:41.520
<v Speaker 1>incredible mind and this incredible acuity and feel for humor

0:28:41.600 --> 0:28:44.160
<v Speaker 1>and what is funny. And then you're going out into

0:28:44.200 --> 0:28:46.360
<v Speaker 1>the world and you're bumping up against all these things

0:28:46.400 --> 0:28:48.680
<v Speaker 1>where you're seeing like that, oh, that piece and that

0:28:48.720 --> 0:28:50.360
<v Speaker 1>piece and that piece, and then you're putting them all together.

0:28:50.480 --> 0:28:53.720
<v Speaker 1>Because I mean, listen, I'm not just saying this because

0:28:53.720 --> 0:28:54.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't just say stuff.

0:28:55.160 --> 0:29:00.200
<v Speaker 4>Stand up is looking hard. Oh like it's the craziest ever.

0:29:00.360 --> 0:29:02.520
<v Speaker 4>And as far as I'm concerned.

0:29:02.240 --> 0:29:05.640
<v Speaker 1>If you can do that, yeah, you can do everything anything.

0:29:06.120 --> 0:29:08.160
<v Speaker 1>You should get a cape and you could fly around

0:29:08.200 --> 0:29:08.600
<v Speaker 1>as wherever.

0:29:09.760 --> 0:29:13.880
<v Speaker 6>I really appreciate that, but I'm also I just I

0:29:14.000 --> 0:29:17.320
<v Speaker 6>can't totally receive that because if you come from a

0:29:17.480 --> 0:29:21.480
<v Speaker 6>certain thing, it's harder to not stand up's not that hard.

0:29:21.680 --> 0:29:23.920
<v Speaker 6>It's like when you like grew up needing to like

0:29:24.360 --> 0:29:27.480
<v Speaker 6>make alcoholics laugh. It's just second nature. I'm not saying

0:29:27.520 --> 0:29:30.160
<v Speaker 6>it's like it's hard for people that don't have that

0:29:30.360 --> 0:29:34.000
<v Speaker 6>kind of trauma. If you do, you're like, it's it's

0:29:34.080 --> 0:29:37.800
<v Speaker 6>so much harder to not be on stage. Right in

0:29:38.680 --> 0:29:40.920
<v Speaker 6>I Love Do I Matter? You're literally like, do I

0:29:41.720 --> 0:29:44.320
<v Speaker 6>I matter? Am I complete piece of garbage?

0:29:44.480 --> 0:29:44.600
<v Speaker 7>You know?

0:29:44.640 --> 0:29:46.800
<v Speaker 6>And then you go on stage You're like, okay, and

0:29:46.920 --> 0:29:48.880
<v Speaker 6>like until tremen just counting the hours to the next

0:29:48.880 --> 0:29:51.120
<v Speaker 6>time you do it. But the help get, the harder

0:29:51.120 --> 0:29:51.600
<v Speaker 6>it becomes.

0:29:51.800 --> 0:29:55.040
<v Speaker 4>I'll say that, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I've heard. I've heard.

0:29:55.120 --> 0:29:57.680
<v Speaker 4>I've heard quite a few people say that, you know, and.

0:29:57.720 --> 0:29:59.320
<v Speaker 6>I think that it's it's I think there's also a

0:30:00.440 --> 0:30:02.520
<v Speaker 6>I also thought, oh, it'll get easier the more I

0:30:02.600 --> 0:30:04.680
<v Speaker 6>do it. It definitely does in some ways in terms

0:30:04.720 --> 0:30:07.680
<v Speaker 6>of like I'm better writing jokes clearer, but it doesn't,

0:30:08.280 --> 0:30:10.800
<v Speaker 6>you know, I don't have to sell both of you. Like,

0:30:10.840 --> 0:30:12.480
<v Speaker 6>the more successful you get sort of the higher the

0:30:12.520 --> 0:30:13.400
<v Speaker 6>bar gets in.

0:30:13.440 --> 0:30:16.640
<v Speaker 1>A weird way, and it's more scrutiny and all of it.

0:30:17.560 --> 0:30:19.480
<v Speaker 6>Yes, and the kind of pressure to be like clever

0:30:19.560 --> 0:30:23.480
<v Speaker 6>and original and different kind of changes and and look,

0:30:23.880 --> 0:30:26.520
<v Speaker 6>I'm not I've never played like the girl card of

0:30:26.720 --> 0:30:28.800
<v Speaker 6>like you know, stand ups harder because you're a girl.

0:30:28.800 --> 0:30:31.520
<v Speaker 6>And dah da da, Like it's you know, it's weird

0:30:31.600 --> 0:30:33.600
<v Speaker 6>that it's a male dominated business. I've always found this

0:30:33.680 --> 0:30:36.880
<v Speaker 6>weird because like it is a female skill, Like you're

0:30:37.240 --> 0:30:40.640
<v Speaker 6>you're like going on stage like talking about your feelings

0:30:40.720 --> 0:30:44.120
<v Speaker 6>and you're like complaining about your our thing. That's that's

0:30:44.960 --> 0:30:47.440
<v Speaker 6>an our thing. You want moms on set. They know

0:30:47.520 --> 0:30:50.200
<v Speaker 6>how to diffuse conflict, They move fast, they know how

0:30:50.240 --> 0:30:53.320
<v Speaker 6>to manage their time, Like when there's a drama, moms

0:30:53.360 --> 0:30:54.400
<v Speaker 6>are just like do you need a water?

0:30:54.600 --> 0:30:57.080
<v Speaker 4>That's the thing is that I think that like I

0:30:57.160 --> 0:30:57.440
<v Speaker 4>don't know.

0:30:57.520 --> 0:31:00.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I feel like entertainment is a is the

0:31:00.280 --> 0:31:03.840
<v Speaker 1>most interesting to talk about being like that, yea. And

0:31:04.040 --> 0:31:07.400
<v Speaker 1>yet I have aunts that are lawyers and judges. I

0:31:07.560 --> 0:31:11.120
<v Speaker 1>have friends that are in business and I mean, yeah,

0:31:11.280 --> 0:31:12.400
<v Speaker 1>same different shovel.

0:31:13.120 --> 0:31:15.760
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, but I don't I don't know another I mean

0:31:15.960 --> 0:31:18.680
<v Speaker 6>doctors for sure. But sometimes I'm like, wait, so we

0:31:19.680 --> 0:31:21.400
<v Speaker 6>this is a thing. If you're an actress, I don't

0:31:21.400 --> 0:31:22.640
<v Speaker 6>have to tell you this or you're the crew, like

0:31:23.000 --> 0:31:24.680
<v Speaker 6>you do have to get there at six am. You're

0:31:24.720 --> 0:31:26.880
<v Speaker 6>in makeup for two women have to be there longer

0:31:26.960 --> 0:31:30.560
<v Speaker 6>because to be on camera calk and grout and special effects,

0:31:31.400 --> 0:31:34.440
<v Speaker 6>it's attractive. And then you're there six in the morning

0:31:34.560 --> 0:31:36.440
<v Speaker 6>sometimes till like eleven at night. I mean it is

0:31:36.520 --> 0:31:38.960
<v Speaker 6>a wild amount of time. So my thing is always

0:31:39.040 --> 0:31:41.800
<v Speaker 6>just like, let's like does anyone need this much a

0:31:41.840 --> 0:31:43.960
<v Speaker 6>craft service? Like can we just add a couple of

0:31:44.080 --> 0:31:45.760
<v Speaker 6>days to the schedule? Can we add a week to

0:31:45.840 --> 0:31:49.640
<v Speaker 6>the schedule? Like what is this like time crunch? Let's

0:31:49.720 --> 0:31:51.960
<v Speaker 6>just like spend the money a little differently so that

0:31:52.040 --> 0:31:54.600
<v Speaker 6>we can have childcare at work and people can go home.

0:31:55.160 --> 0:31:55.880
<v Speaker 3>That would be a dream.

0:31:56.120 --> 0:31:59.120
<v Speaker 6>People die driving home to Santa Clarita, like, because that's

0:31:59.120 --> 0:32:02.720
<v Speaker 6>the other thing is actor when we wrap, everyone else

0:32:02.760 --> 0:32:04.600
<v Speaker 6>is still has to drive home, and they don't live

0:32:04.640 --> 0:32:06.200
<v Speaker 6>in Beverly. They have to drive an hour, they have

0:32:06.240 --> 0:32:07.960
<v Speaker 6>to drive two hours, you know. So that's what a

0:32:08.000 --> 0:32:10.000
<v Speaker 6>lot of these strikes are have been about, which is

0:32:10.080 --> 0:32:12.760
<v Speaker 6>like you can't you don't count my out time as

0:32:12.840 --> 0:32:15.040
<v Speaker 6>when I left. It should be when I get home,

0:32:15.120 --> 0:32:16.680
<v Speaker 6>so I can actually get that eight hours of sleep

0:32:16.720 --> 0:32:19.040
<v Speaker 6>turn around, you know, so I just think that, like

0:32:19.160 --> 0:32:20.920
<v Speaker 6>it's like when people like, how come women don't play

0:32:20.920 --> 0:32:23.080
<v Speaker 6>football because it's dumb? And we know it's dumb.

0:32:23.520 --> 0:32:25.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm a little bit more straight about this

0:32:25.600 --> 0:32:29.000
<v Speaker 1>stuff because I'm a little bit like I preach, like

0:32:29.240 --> 0:32:30.440
<v Speaker 1>there is no balance.

0:32:30.800 --> 0:32:32.680
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, in any of them. Totally.

0:32:33.160 --> 0:32:35.480
<v Speaker 1>On any given day, I'm gonna have been a better

0:32:35.560 --> 0:32:38.600
<v Speaker 1>mom than I was a worker in whatever I'm working on.

0:32:39.200 --> 0:32:41.960
<v Speaker 1>And another days I work and I come home to

0:32:42.080 --> 0:32:45.280
<v Speaker 1>kids who forgot the eight consecutive days in which I

0:32:45.360 --> 0:32:47.720
<v Speaker 1>was there for every single second and we're.

0:32:47.640 --> 0:32:50.760
<v Speaker 3>Like you were, God, all, yeah, of course this is it.

0:32:50.920 --> 0:32:52.040
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, right, I was.

0:32:52.320 --> 0:32:52.640
<v Speaker 6>And you know what.

0:32:52.760 --> 0:32:55.600
<v Speaker 4>I also never say I never apologize for going to work.

0:32:56.200 --> 0:32:58.160
<v Speaker 4>I hate it, but I very strong.

0:32:58.280 --> 0:33:00.960
<v Speaker 5>Actually you taught me that, and I ever do don't

0:33:01.000 --> 0:33:01.880
<v Speaker 5>ever apologize.

0:33:02.160 --> 0:33:04.400
<v Speaker 1>I do not say I'm so sorry that I have

0:33:04.480 --> 0:33:05.960
<v Speaker 1>to go to work and I'm so sorry I have

0:33:06.040 --> 0:33:08.560
<v Speaker 1>to leave you to go to work. I well, I'm

0:33:08.680 --> 0:33:11.960
<v Speaker 1>lucky because I love my job. Not every single day,

0:33:12.080 --> 0:33:14.760
<v Speaker 1>but I for the most part love my job, and

0:33:14.840 --> 0:33:18.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm so grateful that I do. And then I'm able

0:33:18.440 --> 0:33:21.400
<v Speaker 1>to find my place in it that looking at my

0:33:21.520 --> 0:33:25.720
<v Speaker 1>kid and being like, I'm so sorry would send exactly

0:33:25.800 --> 0:33:27.880
<v Speaker 1>the wrong message, because of course I'm always sorry to

0:33:27.960 --> 0:33:28.280
<v Speaker 1>leave them.

0:33:28.400 --> 0:33:29.160
<v Speaker 4>I love being with them.

0:33:29.200 --> 0:33:30.920
<v Speaker 1>I want to smash the litle faces all day long.

0:33:31.440 --> 0:33:33.200
<v Speaker 1>But I gotta go to work, and I go to

0:33:33.240 --> 0:33:35.280
<v Speaker 1>work for lots of reasons. It's not a volunteer job.

0:33:35.360 --> 0:33:38.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm compensated for my job. I create value at my job.

0:33:39.080 --> 0:33:40.160
<v Speaker 1>I bring home the value.

0:33:40.680 --> 0:33:43.800
<v Speaker 6>We can't apologize girls if we haven't done anything wrong,

0:33:43.880 --> 0:33:48.320
<v Speaker 6>because the epidemic of women apologizing sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry,

0:33:48.320 --> 0:33:50.920
<v Speaker 6>I'm like, what is like, it's I workshop. I had

0:33:51.000 --> 0:33:53.520
<v Speaker 6>to do a thirty days no apologizing unless you did

0:33:53.600 --> 0:33:57.040
<v Speaker 6>something wrong, because I was like pathological sorry sorry. I

0:33:57.040 --> 0:33:58.719
<v Speaker 6>would run into someone and be like or they'd run

0:33:58.760 --> 0:34:00.200
<v Speaker 6>into me and I'm so sorry I was in your way,

0:34:00.320 --> 0:34:02.680
<v Speaker 6>Like I just you know, it's something that I think

0:34:02.720 --> 0:34:04.880
<v Speaker 6>that we like do to make ourselves feel small or

0:34:04.920 --> 0:34:09.160
<v Speaker 6>whatever it is. But that's cool, that's real, that's that's gnarly.

0:34:09.360 --> 0:34:12.399
<v Speaker 6>But four and six, that's kind of that's young. Young.

0:34:12.920 --> 0:34:13.840
<v Speaker 4>She's four and seven.

0:34:14.560 --> 0:34:16.600
<v Speaker 3>In the trenches, baby, I'm in the trees in the trench.

0:34:16.680 --> 0:34:18.000

<v Speaker 3>It's so interesting.

0:35:17.480 --> 0:35:21.440
<v Speaker 2>I love I do love it when new mamas, you know,

0:35:21.719 --> 0:35:23.800
<v Speaker 2>you hear them talk because she's a year into this

0:35:23.960 --> 0:35:27.200
<v Speaker 2>whole parenting situation and they come out and they're already

0:35:27.200 --> 0:35:29.640
<v Speaker 2>pretty confident, I know, do you know what I mean? Like,

0:35:29.760 --> 0:35:31.920
<v Speaker 2>I love it when I'm like because I remember just

0:35:32.000 --> 0:35:36.800
<v Speaker 2>being so clueless. Still I want to say, like I

0:35:37.000 --> 0:35:40.560
<v Speaker 2>was not feeling it great until almost three, and then

0:35:40.600 --> 0:35:42.200
<v Speaker 2>I was like, Okay, I think I'm in some sort

0:35:42.239 --> 0:35:42.600
<v Speaker 2>of rhythm.

0:35:42.600 --> 0:35:43.919
<v Speaker 5>I don't even know if it's a right rhythm.

0:35:44.000 --> 0:35:47.600
<v Speaker 1>But she's so fun Yeah, she's so funny and such

0:35:47.600 --> 0:35:49.640
<v Speaker 1>a quick mind. And I love this just all the

0:35:49.680 --> 0:35:50.400
<v Speaker 1>self awareness.

0:35:50.680 --> 0:35:50.880
<v Speaker 7>I know.

0:35:51.040 --> 0:35:53.919
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I came out parenting like with really

0:35:54.360 --> 0:35:58.200
<v Speaker 1>strong and very sort of like binary ideas about how

0:35:58.280 --> 0:36:00.879
<v Speaker 1>things had to be, kind of like when I came

0:36:00.960 --> 0:36:02.799
<v Speaker 1>out with the voice that you do for me. When

0:36:03.160 --> 0:36:06.560
<v Speaker 1>I found out about the picture, it sound like the

0:36:06.600 --> 0:36:07.200
<v Speaker 1>cookie monster.

0:36:07.400 --> 0:36:09.680
<v Speaker 3>You can't do ye can do this.

0:36:10.160 --> 0:36:12.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I feel like I when I first started this whole,

0:36:12.880 --> 0:36:16.200
<v Speaker 1>this whole, this whole Shenanigan called parenting, I was a

0:36:16.239 --> 0:36:18.080
<v Speaker 1>little more like this is the right way, this is

0:36:18.120 --> 0:36:20.760
<v Speaker 1>the wrong way. And I definitely feel like I've learned

0:36:20.920 --> 0:36:25.200
<v Speaker 1>that there is a spectrum, and I I love I

0:36:25.239 --> 0:36:26.799
<v Speaker 1>don't know, maybe a couple of years ago I heard

0:36:26.840 --> 0:36:30.279
<v Speaker 1>this be said by a dear friend, but it's the

0:36:30.400 --> 0:36:32.319
<v Speaker 1>idea that you have strong convictions.

0:36:32.920 --> 0:36:37.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, held, I like all loose real list, just like

0:36:38.719 --> 0:36:41.759
<v Speaker 4>all three fingers. That's how loose you're holding fall right through.

0:36:42.320 --> 0:36:44.319
<v Speaker 4>If they're not serving you, they're going to fall right up.

0:36:44.719 --> 0:36:47.920
<v Speaker 4>So you can catch her show on Thursdays on Max.

0:36:48.320 --> 0:36:52.160
<v Speaker 5>Best Friends and so let's call it the end of

0:36:52.280 --> 0:36:53.160
<v Speaker 5>the episode.
