Speaker 1: right around the corner from the new tele pancake Bar.

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: We got so much branding going on, it's kind of fabulous.

4
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: Nobody keeps rolling in anyway. It must be a wonderful

5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: world for you if you're raised in a food family.

6
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: Alex Corna Shelley is here. Her mom used to edit

7
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: some of the best cookbooks in the world. Therefore, Alex

8
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: got kind of a taste of culture and food from

9
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,639
Speaker 1: around the world through her mom, and then moved to France,

10
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: worked with Gi Savoy and learned about honing her craft there,

11
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: but had to come home. Her home cooking in the

12
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 1: United States brought her in like a big magnet. And

13
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 1: we're so happy to have you here, Alex Corna Shelley.

14
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: Finally you're on the show. We love you. Thank you, Yes, finally, finally,

15
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: And we're all envious about your upbringing and having a

16
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: mom in the business. And now your daughter is interested

17
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: as well.

18
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, oh yeah, I've got I tried to you know,

19
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 2: I don't push the food of the cooking or anything.

20
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 2: She's like, what are you doing, what do you make

21
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 2: and what do you and then all of a sudden,

22
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 2: I turn around and she's making a salsa verde or

23
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 2: she's doing whatever, and it's just it's really wild. Here's

24
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 2: what's even more wild. I grew up on this block.

25
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 2: This is where I grew up, well childhood what I

26
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 2: grew up in the Wyoming on the across from the

27
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 2: Carnegie Deli. So this has been when you say I

28
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: came here like a magnet. I mean, this is like

29
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 2: the definition of coming home. This is Elvis. You're on

30
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 2: my block, you know what.

31
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: Okay, I'll accept that. You know, we're very nomadic in radio.

32
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: They'll move us away in a few days. And plus

33
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: with without the new drive driving and pricing in the city,

34
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: we have to move about sixtieth Street.

35
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 2: Off through Manhattan trying to avoid the you know, the yeah.

36
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: We'll get it, we'll get it. So so many people

37
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: are texting, and there's such big fans of yours. They've

38
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: loved you for all these years watching you, and of

39
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: course we loved you when you were at Butter I

40
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: mean which two years so you're still you're still chefing

41
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: at Butter. I see you all the time on TV.

42
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: How do you have time to go to butter.

43
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: Well, you know, if you only have one restaurant and

44
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 2: you can take a taxi to it from where you live,

45
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 2: chances are you're going to keep.

46
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: Tasks, all right. All right, hey, so I love what

47
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: you're doing with Nutella. Of course, I live out in

48
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: the country and we have God within two miles of

49
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: our home. We have three community firehouses, right and when

50
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: the pancake breakfast with the pancake Breakfast pop up, we're there.

51
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: But there's nothing better.

52
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 2: It's super I think it's special. I think it's really American.

53
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm driving around Long Island and I see

54
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 2: these pancake breakfasts. It's just a great fundraising opportunity. You

55
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 2: can go to by the way to Nutele Stacks for

56
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 2: giving Back and check out the program. It's fantastic. But

57
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 2: you can nominate your local firehouse and get a fantastic

58
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 2: pancake kit which will help with the pancake breakfasts. And

59
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 2: you know, I don't think we think of firehouses as

60
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 2: places where there are chefs, where there are people cooking.

61
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 2: But if you make, you know, a great meal at

62
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 2: the firehouse, all the firefighters are like, good job. Yeah,

63
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 2: ye all love it. Imagine if you don't you know

64
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 2: what I mean, you got you gotta come corrects.

65
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: And here's the thing. And a lot of times they

66
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: cook for each other in the firehouses, right, but usually

67
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: their food is very brown, lots of brown selections. It's

68
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: like the chuck Wagon chuck Wagon brown.

69
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 2: Yes.

70
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: But but you know, but I know of one of

71
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: the firehouses near our house, they get into competition. I mean,

72
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: these guys they try to outdo each other. And never

73
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: forget that that firehouse not only are there, not only

74
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: are they there to protect you and your property, but

75
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: to raise money for them through these pancake breakfasts is

76
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: a very important part of your community. Get out there

77
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: and be a part of it, right.

78
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I mean, what are we asking you to

79
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 2: do here? Basically come out and eat. You know that

80
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 2: doesn't sound like it's terribly challenging. And I think you're right.

81
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: There's a ton of competition and pride in these firehouses

82
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 2: with all the cooking, not just the pancake breakfast. And

83
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: so when Nutella approached me for this partnership, I said, wow,

84
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 2: this feels kind of really seamless because I have also

85
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 2: a history on Chopped, the show of being on all

86
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 2: the Firefighter episodes because when they come out, I'm just like,

87
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 2: oh my god, you're so cute to save lives and

88
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 2: your life is so worthwhile. So they get the producers

89
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 2: get a kick out of the fact that I'm always

90
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 2: blushing when they walk out, so I'm like the go

91
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 2: to you know what I mean.

92
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: Well, I love the fact that you whipped up some

93
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: nutella pancakes the sou fle style. Is that what I saw?

94
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,239
Speaker 1: I mean they're like the Japanese sou fle style.

95
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, so there's extra fluffy egg whites, just whipped and

96
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 2: folded in which lightens them extra protein. But it's also

97
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 2: just really good with the nutella, like you just the

98
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 2: flavor combo because they're the pancakes are not terribly sweet,

99
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 2: so it's just that perfect balance.

100
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: You know. The first time Nate traveled to Paris, he

101
00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: was so impressed with that Parisian invention Nutella. I mean,

102
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: if you walk down into the Jewish district, they have

103
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: all the nutella crip stands and things like that. That's the

104
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: first time I Hittela as well. But it's so shocking,

105
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: Like I had a crip, say right, crip.

106
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 2: I don't want to correct you, because it's like fabulous.

107
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like it.

108
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 2: It's kind of.

109
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: Now that I'm thinking about it, it's it's really hard

110
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: to crip.

111
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 3: And it hadn't it hadn't tell on it and I

112
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 3: was like, this is delicious.

113
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: Where did they come from? And apparently they sold it

114
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: in the States too. At that time, I was just

115
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: unaware of it. Yeah.

116
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 2: I love when the crape you know, it's cooking and

117
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 2: you can smell it on the streets, you can, and

118
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 2: then you just get that that thin layer right and

119
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 2: you fold it in for me, ye child, Yeah, you

00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: doing what you're doing today. What do you think about that?

151
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,679
Speaker 2: You know, it's such a great question because people starting

152

Speaker 2: in food now I feel like they're thinking, I'm going

157
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 2: see how that goes. You know, the sounds way more fun. Yeah,

158
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 2: well yeah it was. But so I worked at an

159
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 2: American place, which was Larry Forgiones on thirty second in Park.

160
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 2: I went down there every day and I burned everything

161
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 2: that was spot. They were just like, please don't come tomorrow,

162
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 2: Please don't don't want you back here, right, But you're right,

163
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 2: I never imagined And that's kind of the fun of it, right,

164
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 2: I mean, did you think all of you would be

165
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 2: here for this long doing this?

166
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: Wow?

167
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 2: I mean you're talking about it. Every day is different.

168
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 2: It's just like a restaurant.

169
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 1: It's definitely borrowed time. And let's talk about it, of

170
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: course on the heels of International Women's Day, which we

171
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: celebrated Friday. Being a woman in this industry is something

172
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: different now than it was when you started out as well. Yeah,

173
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: talk about that.

174
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 2: I mean I worked in a restaurant in Paris for

175
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 2: six years. I was supposed to go for three days

176
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 2: and do like a little you know, stint, and then

177
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 2: come home and start eating bagels and postromi again, you know,

178
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 2: like a good New Yorker. And I ended up working

179
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 2: in the restaurant for six years. But there were twenty

180
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 2: six men and me, and you can take that any

181
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 2: way you want, right But I was like, I was like, okay,

182
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 2: I'm either going to be the enemy or a mascot,

183
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 2: like those are my choices. And considering my friends was

184
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 2: terrible and I really wasn't didn't know how to do anything.

185
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,599
Speaker 2: They were like, oh, here she is, here, she is

186
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 2: with her crips. So you know, it was like an

187
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 2: uphill battle, you know what I mean. I was like, okay, well,

188
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 2: deck is stacked against me. Let's start cooking eggs.

189
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 1: Well, but look where we are now. I mean, this

190
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 1: is so great. And by the way, I want to

00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: from people who were working in firehouses and they're saying

194
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: thank you. So the response is here, this is actually

195
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,400

256
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: It's no problem at all, all right, So it stacks

257
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: for giving back with Nutella. So talk about it if

258
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: someone's just turning us on, like, take us through the

259
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: benchmarks of what we're doing here, because it's really cool.

260
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it is. It's really cool. And like I

261
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 2: said to me, it's such an organic partnership because Nutella

262
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 2: just belongs here. As just like part of your morning

263
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 2: tree or whatever, anytime of day. But you can go

264
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 2: to Nutella's Text for Giving Back, which is their website

265
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 2: for this. You can also go on Nutella's social and

266
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 2: go to the Lincoln Bio and you can nominate your

267
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 2: local firehouse to win these a special breakfast kit to

268
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 2: host your own pancake breakfast. Right. It's a big assist.

269
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,479
Speaker 2: We've had a ton of entries and a ton of engagement,

270
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 2: and also it's just building familiarity for the very thing

271
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 2: I don't think people realize people are cooking in firehouses.

272
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 2: People are doing these pancake breakfasts. This is a great

273
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 2: way to raise money. And I'll tell you firehouses it's

274
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 2: expensive to fight fires, right, I mean the equipment associated

275
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 2: with it. There is just no shortage of a need

276
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 2: for fundraising and more money, and this is a great

277
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 2: fun way to get everybody involved, and I think build familiarity,

278
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 2: which is even more important. Right.

279
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: Well, I love that absolutely, And we said our show

280
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:44,920

281
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: going all across the country, across the heartland. So you know,

282
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: this is good for so many of our listeners and

283
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: so many of their family members who work in firehouses.

284

00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: spelled s T A c ks.

295
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 2: the recipe. It's really easy to make. And Alex was

296
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 2: actually plating everything herself. I said, aren't you too famous

297
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 2: for this?

298
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: She said, I'm never too famous for cooking?

299
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 2: Oh wow, that's true. I mean, if you don't do

300
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 2: what you do anymore, where are we? Right? Can you

301
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 2: imagine an actor being like, I'm actually not going to

303
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 2: just too busy, send send someone else. So yeah, it's

304
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 2: it's interesting what you say, because sometimes being a chef,

305
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 2: you're like you have to fight to have room to cook,

306
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 2: you know, or you go into the restaurant and you

307
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 2: know the grease trap breaks this that you're like, I

308
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 2: was dicing to bego. What happened to my day? But

309
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 2: you know how that is?

310
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: Right?

311
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 2: You make a list, a to do list, and then

312
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 2: you finish your day and you're like, what, I'll just

313
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 2: add five more things because I did nothing?

314
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: Yep, right, yeah, another day when things just go to hell?

315
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: Where are you doing it? Every morning? When we come

316
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: in and nothing works around here? That's right, That's why

317
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: we cry in the shower every morning before we come

318
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: to work.

319
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 2: I am that I brought pancakes.

320
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: Hey, I know we needed those. We need a memoir

321
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: from you. Have you thought about sitting down and writing

322
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: about your your travels and your thoughts. I need in

323
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: the world.

324
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 2: I need.

325
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: You know. When I wrote my book, I'll tell you

326
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: I learned. I learned a lot about me when I

327
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: wrote that book, and I think that's it was amazing.

328
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: It was incredible. But you have such such a rich

329
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: history of places you've been, people you've met, things you've experienced.

330
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: I think it would be a crime not to share

331
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: it with the world.

332
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 2: I love you saying that. I just wonder, honestly, is

333
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 2: it okay? If all of it isn't so pretty, that's better.

334
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't want to be pretty.

335
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, well no shortage of that, if you know what

336
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 2: I mean, like a little some parts, some chapters will

337
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 2: be like, oh boy, you know what I mean, someone

338
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 2: get her a stack of pancakes. You know. So I

339
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 2: like the advice. I appreciate it. And the team of

340
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 2: therapists and I'm consulting was said that I should do this,

341
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 2: so I should a lot of rich therapists.

342
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: Sometimes that great reveal is the best for you, you know.

343
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: And all the things you're talking about. Is your daughter

344
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: familiar with all these stories?

345
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 2: Oh? I see what you're saying. Good point. No. And

346
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 2: sometimes by the way, she hears stuff about me and

347
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 2: she's like, it's not true, right mom? And I'm no,

348
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 2: of course not. Just go to school exactly, make a sturday.

349
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: It was just a week in prison. Mommy was there,

350
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: she was safe.

351
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 2: It was a brief stint. It's a blip. What what

352
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 2: did you learn about yourself? I want to know? One

353
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 2: asks you questions. Right, everybody comes on and says, well,

354
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 2: I'm doing this and that, what did you learn?

355
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: It's it's it's it's your life examined, you know, I

356
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: just it. If you could put your life on a

357
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: film and then stand back in the theater and watch it,

358
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: it's a whole different perspective, and it makes you really

359
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: truly appreciate where you are and what you've accomplished, because

360
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: you know you've accomplished a lot, but you probably aren't

361
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: conscious about the majority of great things that you have

362
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: done and continue to do. And so it's good for

363
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 1: your ego, it's good for your heart and your soul.

364
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 1: And get it done and I'll be the first in

365
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: line to get my book autograph.

366
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 2: I'm thinking. I'm thinking if it were a movie, it

367
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 2: would be like the Black Swan meets Jaws, you know there,

368
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 2: So I'm going to see I'm so interested in this book.
