1
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: Hey, guys, welcome to I've never said this before with

2
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: me Tommy de Dario. It is a double episode week

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: because Christmas movie season has started, and you know what,

4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: we need to celebrate that. Although, to be completely honest,

5
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: my tree was up on November first, so I have

6
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: been celebrating for a few weeks, but that doesn't matter.

7
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: Today's guest is the super talented actress Britt Robertson, who

8
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: stars in the very steamy Netflix holiday movie The Married Gentleman,

9
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: which is out right now. Britt plays Ashley. She's a

10
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: Broadway dancer who returns home to save her parents small

11
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: town nightclub by staging an all male Christmas theme review.

12
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, you heard that correctly, think a more family

13
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: friendly Christmas magic Mike, Okay, catch your breath. I know

14
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: that sounds spicy, especially because leading those male dancers is

15
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: Chad Michael Murray and his character definitely sparks Ashley's interest.

16
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, there's a lot of skin in this movie,

17
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: but Britt brings so much heart and so much soul

18
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: to quite a touching story. I'm not gonna lie. I

19
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: had to dry away a couple tears. So let's see

20
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: if today we can get brit to say something that

21
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: she has never said before.

22
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: Britt, how are you sound so good?

23
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 3: Are you? You have a glow?

24
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 2: You have a glow.

25
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 3: It was like life is good for you right now.

26
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 4: It's very good. Yeah, it's very good. Couldn't ask for more.

27
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: Well, I'm so happy to be hanging out with you.

28
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: It is that festive time of year. Yeah, and there's

29
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: not much more I love than a great holiday film.

30
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, tell me more.

31
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 1: I am very here for all things holiday. My tree

32
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: is already up. What November one?

33
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 3: It was up? Do not judge me?

34
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 2: No, I'm just curious, like because I'm worried about not

35
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 2: getting the food out for Thanksgiving and time, and you

36
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 2: have just pushed right past.

37
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: September and October for Halloween. Okay, November, December, Christmas, Thanksgiving

38
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: one day and then back. Okay, Okay, sick spect I

00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 2: I love it.

41
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 3: I the merry gentleman.

42
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 2: What do you think?

43
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: Where do I begin? Where do I begin? I guess

44
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: My first question for you about the movie is when

45
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: you got the pitch for it? Yeah, and you heard

46
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: about the concepts.

47
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 3: What made you say? Oh, I'm in like I.

48
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: Have to do it well, I'll be totally honest with you,

49
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 2: and very few people have got this or understand what

50
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 2: I'm even saying. But so for the last i don't know,

51
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 2: five six years since I've been like an adult, and

52
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 2: I've been I've been having Christmas at my house in

53
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 2: LA with my friends and family whatever. I always go

54
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 2: to Jumbo's clown Room in Hollywood Christmas Eve night, after

55
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 2: I go to my agents for dinner, we go to

56
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: Jumbo's and all the women are amazing and everyone's dressed up,

57
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 2: and it's I've never felt more holiday spirit than at

58
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 2: Jumbo's on Christmas Eve. So I was like, oh, I

59
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,119
Speaker 2: love when I were the script of It's like, oh amazing,

60
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: I won't have to do any crazy dancing. All the

61
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 2: men will be there in the holiday spirit and the

62
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 2: whole sort of tradition of what dance brings in my life,

63
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 2: which is like spirit and joy, and it like for me,

64
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: I think dancing communicates a thing that like I can't really.

65
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 4: Do with words, you know.

66
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 2: And so to see a Christmas movie that was like

67
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 2: very much revolving around dance and my relationship, my character's

68
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 2: relationship to dance.

69
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 4: I was like, I gotta do it for the girls.

70
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 4: Gotta do it for the girl.

71
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 2: The jumbos shout out to Fox and Claire, but truly,

72
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 2: like I think my experience on Christmas, even sort of

73
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 2: what I've cultivated as my own Christmas experience and tradition,

74
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 2: what have you.

75
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 4: I just I could really relate to.

76
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 2: The story that was being told, and I was just

77
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 2: excited to be the one telling it.

78
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: It's obviously a bit steamy, right, Yes, are some sexy

79
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: in the movie, but there's actually quite a few deep

80
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: messages which I really appreciated, and I think one of

81
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: those messages that resonated with me. And of course it's

82
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: everyone gets something different out right, But for me, one

83
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: of those messages was letting go of something that no

84
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 1: longer serves you, right, And that's a very hard thing

85
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: to do in life. And it's very hard to make

86
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: that decision because change is scary and well.

87
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 3: I regret it, won't I regret it.

88
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: Have you experienced this in your life personally or professionally?

89
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I think there's this that's such a

90
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 4: beautiful way.

91
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 2: I think like identity is for me, like what's wrapped

92
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 2: up in all of that and all those questions, right,

93
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 2: like for so long, because I was a kid actor,

94
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 2: I was like, okay, I want to be an actor.

95
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 4: I just got to keep working forever, Like this is

96
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 4: my dream. My dream is to just keep.

97
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 2: Working and making stories come to life and being a

98
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 2: part of that, and like that's it.

99
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 4: That's the endgame.

100
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 2: And not until I would say, like the last few

101
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,679
Speaker 2: years of my life did I go like, oh, there's

102
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 2: more to life. You know, there is more than just

103
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 2: allowing my dreams to exist, and also dreams can be in.

104
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 4: All aspects of life.

105
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 2: Like I just always thought, oh, if I can be

106
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 2: a working actor, that's my dream. But for me, I

107
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 2: have more dreams. Like for me, I think there was

108
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 2: a dream. I mean, it's so silly, but like I

109
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 2: remember looking at my habin in this same house for

110
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 2: like twelve years now.

111
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 4: I remember looking at the house five or six years ago.

112
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 2: I'd be like, oh, one day I'd like to have this,

113
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 2: one day I'd like to have this.

114
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 4: And then one day I decided like that day is today.

115
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 2: I'm going to just start doing it. Like I want

116
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 2: a front porch, let's build the front porch. Like you

117
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 2: want to pull let's get the pool going. So I

118
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 2: just started making dreams come true and then sort of

119
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 2: realizing like, oh, I can create my own future in

120
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 2: that way, Like I can dream up what I want

121
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 2: my life to look like and then sort of make

122
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 2: it happen because of you know, like that's that's what

123
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 2: life is, and that's what.

124
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 4: Dreams can be. So I think Ashley experienced.

125
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 2: That sort of eye opening, awakening moment where she's like,

126
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 2: wait a second, I'm more My life can be more

127
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 2: than just loving the thing that I do for work,

128
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 2: you know, Like it's a blessing to be able to

129
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 2: go to work and love what you do, but it's

130
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 2: also a blessing to discover like that you have access

131
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 2: to more feelings than just success, you know, like you

132
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 2: can like I love my husband, and I love our family,

133
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 2: and I love our life, and I love traveling with him,

134
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 2: and I love working with him. By my like, the

135
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 2: fact that that's even in my world, in my universe

136
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 2: now is baffling to me because I had never even

137
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 2: it had never occurred to me that it would be

138
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 2: something that I wanted for myself.

139
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 4: Sorry that was so long winded.

140
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: No, I think you're so right on I think it's

141
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: really hard to you not tie your identity to work sometimes,

142
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,239
Speaker 1: especially as an artist, right or a freelancer or whatever

143
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: you want to call it. And I think this also

144
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: applies in many careers in industries, not just some artists,

145
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: but it is hard to not conflate the two. And

146
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: I think it's so important to appreciate your career, but also,

147
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: as you're talking about so eloquently, like have an identity

148
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: right and be able to truly live. And by the way,

149
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: isn't that the point of artistry? It's like, how do

150
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: you not live and then expect to go be an artist?

151
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 2: Exactly? And someone said this to me early on, because

152
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 2: I was like a kid actor and somebody said this

153
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 2: to me when I was like seventeen.

154
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 4: She was like, after you do this show, you know,

155
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 4: like you need to travel, like.

156
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 2: See the world, see what people are doing outside of

157
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 2: your like little la life like go.

158
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 4: And I was like, I just want to act. I

159
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 4: just want to act.

160
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 2: And she was absolutely one thousand percent right, because it

161
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 2: took me so long to accumulate experiences and to really

162
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,679
Speaker 2: see other people and not just be working from within.

163
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 2: You know, I guess the work success it has been

164
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 2: such a part of my identity because I started so young.

165
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it was like it would be not.

166
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 2: So natural for people to try and be like but

167
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 2: also just so you know, relationships are important and you

168
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 2: may want kids one day, Like it would be a

169
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 2: weird thing to say to a fifteen year old, like, hey,

170
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 2: let's not get too excited about all this work you're getting,

171
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 2: you know.

172
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 3: Right right.

173
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 2: But it's been such a good lesson for me in

174
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 2: keeping my heart open to things that I might want

175
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 2: that's sort of outside of the career.

176
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 3: I love that.

177
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, my god, We're not even like ten minutes in,

178
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: and I feel like we're solving life's biggest problems right now.

179
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 2: At least mine.

180
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm here for you. I'm here for you. I

181
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 3: love that.

182
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: Going back to the film for a second, I describe

183
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: it as a more family friendly magic Mic Yes, right,

184
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,119
Speaker 1: a little more family friendly out in the holidays.

185
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 3: Love that and there you go.

186
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: But there's also, again going back to some of the

187
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: big themes in the film, some really powerful moments, one

188
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: being when your character gets literally fired from her Broadway

189
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 1: show for being quote too old.

190
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,599
Speaker 3: Oh I hate ag I hate it.

191
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 4: It's and don't I look young.

192
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 3: Yes, you do, come.

193
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 2: On, you do thirty four and they would not let

194
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 2: me rocket myself anymore.

195
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: Which is crazy, Which is crazy, but not sadly not unbelievable.

196
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 2: No, no, no, right, very.

197
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 1: So do you feel like as an artist you were

198
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: excited to spotlight that, right, particularly, like put a little

199
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,599
Speaker 1: spotlight on agism because it's a little good reminder for

200
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: everybody that we don't have to be that way, and

201
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: you had to deal with that yourself or with other people.

202
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 3: Have you seen that in your life?

203
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 2: Yes, definitely seen it. I have looked young my whole life,

204
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 2: and like I I mean, I still go to the

205
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 2: airs at the airport yesterday and they asked for my

206
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 2: ID so that I could go through security on my own.

207
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 4: I am a thirty four year old.

208
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 2: I have been waiting for the day when someone would

209
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 2: tell me I'm too old.

210
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 4: For anything, like sorry, girl, you're too old.

211
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 2: So for me, it hasn't necessarily been an issue because

212
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 2: I've never felt that anyone saw me as even an

213
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 2: adult like I've never felt I felt agism almost in

214
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,719
Speaker 2: the opposite way, where like I had a very.

215
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,719
Speaker 4: I had very specific.

216
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 2: Opinions and I worked really hard at a young age,

217
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 2: but I still wasn't really getting the respect that like

218
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 2: adults would get. So I sort of felt it on

219
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 2: the reverse and was so excited to be aged out

220
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 2: of anything when this movie happened. But at the same time,

221
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 2: I actually think the way the movie handled it is

222
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 2: something I'm more excited about, which is what we're speaking to,

223
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 2: which is that, like, sometimes you need to be pushed

224
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 2: out of your circumstances in order to be given these

225
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 2: opportunities that could like forever change your life or open

226
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 2: your heart or give you like the greatest GIFs.

227
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 4: You know, so.

228
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 2: In some ways, and I guess it's true, Like when

229
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 2: I was aged out of playing high school kids, you know,

230
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 2: I thought it was a bummer, but really just open

231
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 2: the door for so many opportunities on the other end

232
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 2: of the spectrum. And I'm a big believer in like

233
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 2: the universe is giving me things that are meant for me.

234
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 2: Like I don't even know what kind of juju that is,

235
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 2: but like that's what I believe. So whatever that looks like,

236
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 2: you know, I'll take it well.

237
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: And I love the reinvention of your character because she

238
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: wasn't down and out. She kind of pivoted to do

239
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: something totally different and fresh and new, but still similar

240
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: to the world she was in. And I think that's

241
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: a really interesting lesson too. I always say, I think

242
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 1: some of the most interesting people and points of your

243
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: life come later in life are people who are a

244
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: bit older. Right, Love my gen z ers, love my millennial.

245
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:42,199
Speaker 3: I'm a millennial.

246
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, like, some of the sweetest success

247
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: for people is forties, fifties and onward. Yeah, which to

248
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: me is so fascinating.

249
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

250
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: So this idea that your character can go pivot and

251
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: do something that fulfills her and is exciting to her

252
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: and makes her feel alive.

253
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 2: I mean, what a gift, and potentially even more so

254
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 2: than the thing that she was that she had sought

255
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 2: out to do from the beginning. And that's what's so

256
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 2: fascinating to me, is like this world was made for

257
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 2: her in some respect, the rhythm room and creating this

258
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 2: production of sorts, and reviving her family bar and meeting

259
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 2: this guy. It was like destined in some ways. But

260
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 2: for many years, for most of her life as a

261
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 2: tap dancer, she was probably the only thing she could

262
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 2: ever imagine was being on that Broadway stage. So I

263
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 2: don't know.

264
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 4: I think there's some like real hope.

265
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 2: In that to know that you might not always know

266
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 2: what's right or what's best or what's.

267
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 4: Meant for you.

268
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 2: And I think having faith and a belief in some

269
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 2: sort of higher something is I don't know, it's just

270
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 2: cool because it's nice to be like, I'm not always

271
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 2: in control and that's okay.

272
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 1: You mentioned that man that you're character falls in love with,

273
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: guy called Chad Michael Murray.

274
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 2: You know, we like to call him Chad Michael Michaels. Why.

275
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 4: I don't know.

276
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 3: I'm like, what's the story of the no?

277
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 2: My husband and I call him Chad Michael Michaels. I

278
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 2: think because it was like a funny bit that was

279
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 2: done on him, like as a spoof or something. But

280
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 2: like he has become a household name for us because

281
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 2: he gave us these incredible hair pills and like they're

282
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 2: just like vitamins.

283
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 4: I mean, let's which is such.

284
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 3: One day He's like, hey, take some hair pills.

285
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 2: So now we call them no. No I if I

286
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 2: have short hair and I was wearing a wig and

287
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 2: I feel bad for me. So he was like, look,

288
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 2: if you need to grow it out, here's some neutrifoil

289
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 2: or whatever it is.

290
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 4: And so now my.

291
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 2: Husband will be like, hey, have you taken your Chad

292
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 2: Michael Michaels And I'm like, oh yeah, wait where are

293
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 2: my vitamins? So it's he becomes like a reminder from

294
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 2: my hair vitamins.

295
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 3: I don't know hair and it's all his hair.

296
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 2: It's amazing. Yes, yes, as far as I know that's

297
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 2: his hair.

298
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: That's an Italian who appreciates hair. I'm like, that's a

299
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: good the Italian. You should have seen me in the

300
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: nineties with my big Oh my god, I.

301
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 2: Mean if he's still rocking it. He has more hair

302
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 2: than I do. And it's it's lovely to see.

303
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: Well, you two were magical together. It was so fun

304
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: to watch that relationship evolve. How was teaming up with him?

305
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 2: Honestly, he's lovely, like such a kind professional, hardworking, like

306
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 2: loves just being like taking care of people on set,

307
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 2: making sure everyone feels like respected, and he's just very involved.

308
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 2: And I've honestly never seen someone.

309
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 4: Work so hard to like learn a skill in this

310
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 4: way like he was.

311
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 2: So he worked with like a body movement coach, which

312
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not going to be I'm not lying.

313
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 2: I don't even know what that he is? What is that?

314
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 4: What is body movement?

315
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 2: You know?

316
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 4: But I think it's just to become like cool with

317
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 4: your bot.

318
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 2: I don't know.

319
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 4: But he was really dead did the.

320
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 2: Dance, and he showed up every day and he was

321
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 2: so kind and he just like loves his family, and

322
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 2: I don't know, I work with him again in a heartbeat.

323
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 3: Such a great guy in the sequel.

324
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm pitch, I'm do you want to hear my pitch?

325
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 2: Yeah?

326
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 3: I do.

327
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 2: So it's it's marry gentlemen, the secretl I'm not good

328
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 2: at titles, so someone else can deal with that. But

329
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 2: we get married, and then I'm pregnant and they bring

330
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 2: me in for the some of the dancing and I've

331
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 2: got a belly, and and then like I s but

332
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 2: like sexy Santa gear and but I'm working the belly.

333
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 2: I don't know why, I'm like obsessed with this imagery.

334
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 2: I had a girlfriend who was pregnant recently, and I

335
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 2: was like, oh, when she dances, there's something kind of

336
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 2: cool about the belly. I don't know, that's my pitch.

337
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 2: I have a feeling Netflix isn't gonna go for it, but.

338
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 3: You know what, I'm intrigued to work out a few details.

339
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're like, the story is you have a baby.

340
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 4: Baby.

341
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 3: I'm here.

342
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to get paid to get knocked out.

343
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: I'm going to play this interview back one day and

344
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: be like, she was right, it actually happened.

345
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 4: Please, from your mouth to God's ears.

346
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 3: I don't know.

347
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 2: I think that's the same.

348
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: That's amazing, that's amazing. Another theme that I really liked.

349
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: All about the themes today great, But I think you

350
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: know why I am because I think when somebody watches

351
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: a Christmas movie, a holiday movie, you sometimes can label

352
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: it as just a cheerful, sure, you know, time of

353
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: the year film. But to me, there were a lot

354
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: of things I did pull from this. And another thing

355
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: was kind of finding the balance between working and having

356
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: that personal life. Because your character's parents in the film

357
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: made it very clear, oh you haven't come around and

358
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: so nice to see you. I think it's something like

359
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: I come from a big Italian family, and I've heard

360
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: that for many years over my life, you know, and

361
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: it's hard when you're really actively going after something and

362
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: pursuing something and giving it your all to not sometimes

363
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: lose sight of your personal life, right. I think a

364
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: lot of people fall into that. No matter what career

365
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: you're in, Is it important for you to truly try

366
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: to find that balance with work and your personal life

367
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: now or is it still a struggle?

368
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 2: I think for me, it's more important not to find

369
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,199
Speaker 2: a balance. I think for me, at this stage in

370
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 2: my life, career, whatever, my family is the most important

371
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 2: thing to me. My husband is like the most important

372
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 2: thing to me. Our family, but also like our extended family,

373
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 2: like his family is beautiful. I love my family. I

374
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:27,479
Speaker 2: have a huge family, like really big. And not to

375
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 2: do a Donald Trump impression, whoa, whoa, I hate myself,

376
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 2: but you know, but I think I think like I've realized,

377
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 2: like I've missed out on huge things when I was younger,

378
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 2: but now I've seen it, like I felt it. And

379
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 2: when my sister was pregnant with her two kids, I

380
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 2: was like, I need to be involved. I want to

381
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 2: be there. I want to like help, I want to

382
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 2: be a part of their lives, like my just being

383
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 2: a part of my And they all live in South Carolina,

384
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 2: so I have to make like a physical effort to

385
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 2: get back to them, and just like friends and family

386
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 2: and community, because here's the thing. At least in the

387
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 2: last like four or five years, we've had the pandemic

388
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 2: and then the strike, and so I realized, like, Okay,

389
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,199
Speaker 2: work is fleeting, it will be fleeting, and I kind

390
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 2: of just need to make sure that I know when

391
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 2: I'll be working and what that looks like and how

392
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 2: much money I have and all that stuff. But like

393
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 2: it shouldn't rule my world, and I don't want it to.

394
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 2: Like now I've worked enough to know like, oh, great time.

395
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 4: You know.

396
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 2: It's sort of like I attributed to like or sort

397
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 2: of like partying, you know, and partying was fun.

398
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 4: You're like, oh, I'm going out with my friends.

399
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 2: I'm going out with my friends.

400
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 4: Okay, well girl, I'm thirty four.

401
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 2: Partied a lot now, you know. So maybe I just

402
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 2: have like deeper interests and deeper connections and fulfillment. And

403
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 2: I can't even go to a loud bar now because

404
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 2: I can't hear anybody, you know what I mean. And

405
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 2: I'm just like desperate to have connection.

406
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 3: A different type of connection, right.

407
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 2: Totally different. I'm just curious, like what's happening for people, what's.

408
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 4: Really going on?

409
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 2: And that's the sort of human connection that I'm looking

410
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 2: to have out in the world. And I love work,

411
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 2: and I love being here and love the experiences I have,

412
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,400
Speaker 2: but there's just been too many moments where I've gone

413
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 2: like I missed it, you know, I couldn't. I couldn't

414
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 2: make it to like my grandfather's eightieth birthday, you know,

415
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 2: because I was working and I got it. It's just

416
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 2: like everybody else with air, you know. So I try

417
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 2: to be to really advocate for that part of my

418
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 2: life now because I don't want it to fall by.

419
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 4: It's too important, you know, it's just too important.

420
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: There's always points of our lives where we have to

421
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: make a sacrifice or two, right, and that's going to happen,

422
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: But there are things that you can also control. And

423
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: even recently, I'm like you, I really try to maintain

424
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 1: the mentality of work hard, but don't neglect my personal

425
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: life and my husband and I've been trying to plan

426
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 1: our December trip to just get away for a few weeks,

427
00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 1: and I've been pushing it off, pushing off, pushing off

428
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: because I have been waiting on this like one potential

429
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 1: big interview I.

430
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 3: Can get, and I'm like, you know what, I've been doing.

431
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 1: This for a full year, like I've done Yeah, it's

432
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 1: like it's the end of the year. If I want

433
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: to go away and have to miss that interview because

434
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 1: their rep is giving me wishy washy dates, I have

435
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: to miss.

436
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 3: It too bad. I'm going on a trip. The trip, yeah,

437
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 3: of course, I did so proud. So we're going away

438
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 3: into somewhere. But you know, you fall into these patterns sometimes,

439
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 3: and I'm like, I don't want to be that person.

440
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 2: I don't want people will encourage you to fall into

441
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 2: the pattern because they don't want you to miss out

442
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 2: on the opportunity. You know, that's their job, their whole job,

443
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 2: and so you're thinking, like, at least for me, I'm like, oh,

444
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 2: my Asian thinks that I shouldn't go to this vacation

445
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 2: because what if I get this.

446
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 4: Now, that's her job, her job is that, you know.

447
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 2: Like, so I have to really know in my bones

448
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 2: and in my body and in my heart, like what

449
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, after all is said

450
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 2: and done, what makes me feel good? What's important to me?

451
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 2: Like do I feel like all the cups be filled?

452
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 2: You know? And I've become so much more conscious of

453
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 2: those things now that I've like invested in other people. No,

454
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 2: Like I wasn't that invested for a long time and

455
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 2: now I am, and I want to at least try

456
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 2: to stand by that.

457
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: You strike me as someone who tries to learn the

458
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: life lessons along the way.

459
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 3: Is that true? Yeah?

460
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 4: Like obsessed?

461
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm the same way, and I respect that. So

462
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: through doing this movie and playing this character, what would

463
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: you say is a life lesson you learned? Did you

464
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: learn anything about yourself?

465
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean well, but I'm also like a little

466
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 2: ADHD and that I can be like and this is

467
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 2: the lesson, and this is the lesson.

468
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 4: You know it can be. I can get very easily distracted.

469
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 2: But I remember when we were shooting this and I

470
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 2: was working on the scene where I was like talking

471
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 2: about you know, like it's not where you're performing, but

472
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 2: who you're performing for or something like that.

473
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 4: What I realized that I was learning.

474
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 2: I was like, Oh, maybe I want to be like

475
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 2: the director or writer, like maybe my path here doesn't

476
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 2: have to end at acting, or maybe it doesn't have

477
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 2: to end at all. Like I was sort of doing

478
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 2: the revision in my head of what my career could

479
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 2: look like. But then the life lesson there is essentially

480
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 2: like and I always do this to myself where I'll

481
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 2: be like, calm down, you don't need to change your

482
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 2: whole life tomorrow, which is kind of the mentality that

483
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 2: I have where I'll be like, Okay, this is it,

484
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 2: this is the this is they're telling me, this is

485
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 2: you know. But I think with this film, I really

486
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 2: learned to like settle into myself and trust myself in

487
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 2: a weird way.

488
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 4: You know what I thought.

489
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 2: About this actually because I was thinking it was just

490
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 2: like looking at your podcasts and thinking about it, and

491
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 2: I was like, I trust myself in a way specifically

492
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 2: this year and in the last like two years. I

493
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 2: don't know if the haircut gave it away, but I

494
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 2: trust myself in so many ways that I have never

495
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 2: trusted myself before.

496
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,880
Speaker 4: Like I used to be like, am I doing it right?

497
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 4: Am I doing it wrong? Am I saying? Am I confused?

498
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,199
Speaker 2: Am I? But now I'm like, oh no, I get it.

499
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 2: I get me, I get my mind. I understand my mind.

500
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 2: Like it all change or but but I think there

501
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 2: was a knowing and a trusting that came out of

502
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 2: this film that has been very helpful going forward.

503
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 4: In just all the other projects that I've chosen, If

504
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 4: that makes sense.

505
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, that must be a good feeling.

506
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 4: It's a great feeling. It's a great feeling.

507
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 2: I mean sometimes there's like the imposter syndrome where I'm like, who.

508
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 3: Doesn't have that? I mean, well, it's a little.

509
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 4: Bit like oga. You think you know everything in thirty

510
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 4: four then you figured it out.

511
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,199
Speaker 2: But there is a little bit of that. Like I

512
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 2: think because I've always been trying to find the answers

513
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 2: to whatever feels like not so right inside me, and

514
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 2: because I finally got to this sort of peace in

515
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 2: the last couple of years. With the peace has come

516
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 2: trust and it feels really good and empower Also, maybe

517
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 2: it's like anti depressants. I keep saying this as well.

518
00:23:55,200 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, maybe I'm just like leveled outright, No,

519
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 2: we do.

520
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 4: Just calm down.

521
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 3: Maybe there's I think it's beyond that.

522
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 1: I think you truly do pick up things like learning

523
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: lessons along the way from this film and whatnot. And

524
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: I think I think you have to want to have

525
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 1: that awareness to be able to learn the lessons from

526
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,479
Speaker 1: things that you do. Right, Yes, And like I said earlier,

527
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 1: you really seem to be that type of person and

528
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 1: it WANs to grow and evolve and learn, and you

529
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: don't want to remain the same as you were yesterday.

530
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 3: No, right, who does I mean?

531
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 4: I don't and I.

532
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 2: Don't like to be frustrated with like where I currently

533
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 2: am you know what I mean?

534
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:33,479
Speaker 4: Do you ever have that?

535
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 3: Yes?

536
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 2: You're like I am very frustrated with whether it be

537
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 2: like a work thing, just an emotional thing, or a

538
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 2: relationship thing. And I could never really sift through and

539
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 2: figure out where it was coming from.

540
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 4: I just felt like a real.

541
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 2: H just something wasn't It just didn't totally click until

542
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 2: and I really do feel like in my body now

543
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 2: in a way that I just never have. And I

544
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 2: think that that comes with like definitely taking lessons as

545
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 2: they come, but allowing myself to trust the decisions that.

546
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 3: I've made listening to that voice.

547
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 2: Right, Yes, Okay, here's another thing that I learned. Well,

548
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 2: it was a huge epiphany and it really helped me

549
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 2: because I was like, I did like loads of therapy,

550
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 2: like talk therapy, and I was like, I'm not really

551
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 2: getting anything out of this.

552
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 4: And then I switched up my therapist, right, and I

553
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 4: saw the lady and she was.

554
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 2: Like really harping on and on about little Brittany, and

555
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god, can we get little

556
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 2: Brittany out of the room. We're dealing with Big Brittany.

557
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 2: And she's here and she's like ready to do the work.

558
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 2: And I realized I hated little Brittany. I hated talking

559
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 2: about her, I hated thinking about her. I hated all

560
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 2: these things. And so we worked really hard on YadA

561
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 2: YadA YadA, on helping me learn to love her.

562
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 4: But what I realized is once I was able to

563
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 4: go like.

564
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, litt Britney's still Big Brittany and she's cute

565
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 2: and she's nice and she had a tough time she

566
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 2: went through and blah like. Once I got to that point,

567
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 2: that's when I was actually able to trust myself because

568
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 2: I was able to like, it's so cheese, but like

569
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 2: love myself in a way that I hadn't before. And

570
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 2: I was always resisting that thing. And once I was

571
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 2: able to go like, nah, she's you girl, like you

572
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 2: are one, you do it together, then I then it

573
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 2: all fell off.

574
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 4: The hair fell off.

575
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 2: I was like all the play cating and the people

576
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 2: pleasing and the codependency all of that stuff kind of

577
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 2: fell away once I was able to go like, oh,

578
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 2: I just didn't I wasn't heard for a long time.

579
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wasn't quiet. What an important to have?

580
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 2: Right?

581
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: Okay, So I feel like you've already answered this, but

582
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: at the end of every interview on the show, I

583
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 1: asked the same question based on the title, which is,

584
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,199
Speaker 1: what is one thing you've never said before?

585
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:54,679
Speaker 4: Yeah?

586
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: Does anything else come to mind? Even though you've been

587
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: so open already today?

588
00:26:58,160 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 2: No, it does.

589
00:26:58,840 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 4: Well.

590
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 2: I will say this just because it's a little on

591
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 2: theme for the film, and it's true. I was talking

592
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 2: to my husband with this earlier, like I never say

593
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 2: and I've never said it loud, like let's go to

594
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 2: the movies, Like let's go to the movies, And he

595
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 2: was like, what are you talking about?

596
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 4: We go to the movies?

597
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 2: And I was like, yeah, but I don't want to,

598
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 2: Like I don't like going to the movies with anyone

599
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 2: that I know. I love being in a room full

600
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 2: of strangers and experiencing it, but I don't want to

601
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 2: be impacted by anyone around me, Like I don't like

602
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,719
Speaker 2: to see trailers. I don't want to see a poster.

603
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 2: I want like the real deal experience. And I think

604
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 2: it all goes back to what we were saying, which

605
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 2: is that, like, I didn't trust myself for so long

606
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 2: to even watch a film and have an opinion on

607
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 2: it without being you know, like, oh, you know what,

608
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:47,400
Speaker 2: you're right.

609
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 4: Those action scenes were really right.

610
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 2: Oh you're right. Decrapio no Leo di Gabrielle was incredible,

611
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 2: you know, I am I was. I didn't even trust

612
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 2: myself to get to the point where I could have

613
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:05,479
Speaker 2: my own interpretation of something. But then once I anyway,

614
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 2: That's that was sort of the streamlining or the connective tissue.

615
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 2: I just I love experiencing things individually because it allows

616
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 2: me to have a personal opinion. And I still kind

617
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 2: of haven't gotten to that place where I'm able to

618
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 2: like hear other people have opinions and not get swept

619
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 2: into that.

620
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 4: Because it's so easy for me to be like, love Leo.

621
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 2: I don't love Leo. I don't know anything he's ever done,

622
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? But people love him, so

623
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 2: I love him. And so I'm still kind of working

624
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 2: on just it being okay.

625
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 4: To not to be one with the mass, you know,

626
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 4: or for.
